Some businesses were affected Monday, July 29, because of an equipment malfunction at one of Columbia Gas of Ohio’s regulator stations.

Bill Loomer, communications and community relations manager for Columbia Gas of Ohio, explains that on Saturday morning, July 27, Columbia Gas experienced an equipment malfunction at one of its regulator stations in Carrollton.

“Subsequently, an outage of approximately 75 customers occurred. Columbia Gas crews responded immediately and worked to turn off gas service to each of the impacted customers so repairs could be made,”

Loomer explained.

“Repairs were made quickly and service was restored by 6:30 p.m. that same day to all, but 32 accounts. The 32 accounts, some of which are businesses, were left with tags on the doors instructing customers to call for a relight when access to the properties could be granted,” he noted.

Columbia Gas is asking customers who may still need service to call 1-800-344-4077 to schedule a safety inspection and relight. The company expresses its appreciation to the community of Carrollton for their support and patience through this outage.

LEGAL NOTICE The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has scheduled local public hearings in Case Nos. 18-1720-GA-AIR, In the Matter of the Application of Northeast Ohio Natural Gas Corp. for an Increase in Gas Distribution Rates; 18-1721-GA-ATA, In the Matter of the Application of Northeast Ohio Natural Gas Corp. for Tariff Approval; and 18-1722-GA-ALT, In the Matter of the Application of Northeast Ohio Natural Gas Corp. for Approval of an Alternative Rate Plan.

In its applications, NEO requests approval of an increase in gas distribution rates and of an alternative rate plan. In its rate case, NEO requests a rate increase of $3,526,053, an increase of 10.25 percent over current revenues. After its review of NEO’s applications and records, the Staff of the Commission recommends a revenue increase in the range of $500,052 to $877,542, which represents an increase between 1.39 percent and 2.44 percent over current revenues. NEO’s application for an alternate rate plan seeks to implement the following two elements: a mechanism to refund customers the rates collected in excess of the corporate tax rate established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; and the creation of the Infrastructure Replacement Program (IRP) rider. The IRP would allow NEO to recover incremental costs of replacing approximately 24 miles of aging pipelines.

Three local hearings are scheduled to provide an opportunity for interested members of the public to testify in these proceedings. The local hearings will be held as follows: (a)

Monday, August 12, 2019, at 6:00 p.m., at the Fairfield County District Main Library, 219 North Broad Street, Lancaster, Ohio 43130.

Applause To the Editor: The 2019 Friends of Edison Golf Scramble proved to be a rousing success.

A total of 115 people gathered at the Spring Hills Golf Club in East Springfield on July 21 for the sole purpose of benefitting the Edison Local School District. Four-person teams had a chance to tee off in the golf scramble and earn various prizes. Players took part in the TS Electric Hole-in-One Challenge to sink a putt and win either a $10,000 home entertainment center or $25,000 cash, as well as prize money for the top three teams, 50-50, skins and skill prizes.

The scramble was sponsored by the Friends of Edison Levy Committee and proceeds will be used to promote the 2.1-mill emergency renewal levy that is on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. The measure, which is for a term of seven years, would equal $1,059,000 annually and help centralize sports and school activities on the Edison High School campus in Richmond. The baseball and softball fields are currently located near Jefferson State Lake and athletes also hold track practice and meets as well as junior high basketball practice at Stanton Elementary.

None of this would have been possible without the support of the players, the Spring Hills Golf Club and the following sponsors: DeNoon Lumber, Modern Woodmen of America and Riley Petroleum Products LLC, corporate sponsors; TS Electric, hole-in-one sponsor; LM Construction, Steubenville Electrical LMCC, MS Consultants, McBane Insurance and Financial Services, Hughes Office Equipment, LLC, The Village Network, Brewer Garrett Company, Liberty Distributors, M&M Hardware, Total Sports Connection, Minerva Classic 57, Tremco Inc., Spring Hills Golf Course and Hancock County Savings Bank, hole sponsors; Gary W.

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

Unlike the typical man who served in South Vietnam (a high school graduate from a working class), Robert C. Murray left Harvard’s Graduate School of Business to join the U. S. Army.

Murray could have used his education to go to OCS and get a commission. Instead, he chose to serve as an enlisted man. A well trained one too.

He volunteered for Ranger training after basic. He excelled throughout the difficult and rugged Ranger and Airborne training. His selection as the outstanding graduate of his class earned him a meritorious promotion to staff sergeant.

In November 1969, Murray went to South Vietnam. He was assigned to Company B, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry, American Division, then operating in Quang Nam Province, as a squad leader. The division performed mostly security missions and operated out of fire bases strategically placed throughout the province.

On June 7, 1970, Murray’s squad was on patrol near Hiep

Duc village west of Tom Ky. The grunts were hunting an elusive enemy mortar team that had been dropping harassing fire on the company’s position for several days.

While moving through some thick brush, one man tripped a grenade rigged as a booby trap.

“Take cover!” he yelled.

Murray instantly realized that several members of his squad could not get out of the way in time. Concerned only with their safety, he flung himself on the grenade. He died in the blast, but saved his squad members from death or serious injury.

“It was just like Bob to die for his men,” his mother said when she accepted his posthumous Medal of Honor on Aug. 8, 1974. “He was always so worried about them.” Unfortunately, Murray’s father never learned of his son’s high honor, because he died in 1971.

We must never forget what others have done for us on the battlefield. Please keep all of our Military personnel and their families in your prayers.

Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

The 2019 “You’re Not Alone” summer camp is an example of this care offered by our staff and volunteers with the support of many sponsors. The four-day camp experience embraced this year’s theme of “Braving the Storm” throughout its activities, and was held in July at Camp Wanake in Beach City, after a planning committee under the direction of Bereavement Care Manager, Anissa Fuller, LISW-S helped create the event.

Purpose of the Camp The loss of a loved one is a difficult loss for a child to experience. There are rare opportunities for a grieving youth to express their feelings and thoughts, meet other youth who have also had a loss, learn coping strategies through structure and support, gain confidence through effort and enjoy a summer camp experience.

This experience gave each youth this opportunity, and many witnessed their navigation of new relationships, participation in expressive activities and gaining a sense of being brave. Each youth was assured that they are not alone in their grief journey and it is normal to experience an array of feelings and thoughts.

Daily Activities Camp Wanake has a long history of providing community and camp experiences for youth, adults and families. This unique camp facility allowed our campers to enjoy swimming, canoeing, rock climbing, team challenges, hiking, time with horses, a petting zoo and reflective moments in the outdoors facilitated by Wanake staff with the support of Community Hospice staff and volunteers.

Along with Camp Wanake programming, Community Hospice facilitated activities

Community Hospice offers a summer camp called “You’re Not Alone,” for youth dealing with grief. Referrals are being accepted now for the 2020 camp.

involving art, music, spiritual reflection, meals, group games, punching bag opportunities, yoga, a scavenger hunt and individual and group discussions.

All of these special activities offered inspiration, encouragement, creativity, socialization, trust-building, personal confidence development and most of all, expressive opportunities.

Children were divided into age appropriate activity groups.

The Community Hospice staff and volunteers all had mandatory training directly focused on assisting young people to have a safe, meaningful and fun experience alongside some of the issues a loss in their life presents.

Family Night A special feature of the camp was a Family Night held on July 11. Activities included caricature drawings, face painting, head and neck massage, a meal, music program, group picture,

display of the week’s art projects and a special “rock message launching” memorial program followed by an ice-cream social.

The campers helped write and then sang a special song with the campers’ various comments about their camp experience which added a special touch to the evening. Following the music, all camp participants gathered for an annual group photo in their matching camp shirts donated by USA Labels Express.

Support from the Community The camp is offered free of charge thanks to the generous support of the community.

Community Hospice received a grant from the Summertime Kids Program through the Stark Community Foundation, and a grant from the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The support the organization

received from the Dover Exchange Club and several other sponsors, donors, vendors and volunteers was overwhelming, which allowed a record number of 50 youth, ages 7-17, and their families to be served.

This was the seventh summer that Community Hospice partnered with Camp Wanake for this experience. Plans are already underway for the 2020 “You’re Not Alone” summer camp.

If you would like to be involved as a sponsor, or to refer a young person to the program, contact Kelsie Gunnoe, Bereavement Care Coordinator with Community Hospice at 1-800-947-7284 or e-mail bereavement@myhospice.org.

Hello everyone! Summer. A swell time of year don’t you think? One of my favorite things I love about summer is we can go to bed with the windows open and wake up to the beautiful songs of the birds that surround our home.

Right now I am out on our deck enjoying the sights and sounds around me. I just noticed one of our squirrels came back this morning to clean up what the birds have left behind. Right now, the air is clean and fresh. The promise of an awesome day awaits me.

How about you?

Another thing about summer is you can take your book along wherever you go to read for as long as you like! As long as it’s not raining that is... unless you have an umbrella and the wind is not blowing! Been there and done that. For those of you ladies who have not experienced our libraries book discussion, I thought this might interest you. I wanted to give you plenty of time to read September’s book. The meeting is Thursday, Sept. 12 at 6:30. Melody will be your host.

The book chosen is The Spymistress by Jennifer Chiaverini. It is an historical novel set during

By Sherry Kline Bolitho

the Civil War era. It is inspired by the life “a true Union woman as true as steel.” She also risked everything by caring for Union prisoners of war and stealing confederate secrets. If you are not familiar with the Civil War, I chose this book for this week’s column. I have read many books on this subject and this is one of the finest I’ve found.

Until next time, enjoy the gift of history!

Your friend, Sherry Sherry Kline Bolitho Adult Book Title: Gettysburg The Battle for Liberty, Equality

and Brotherhood By: Nigel Cawthorne Publisher: Chartwell Books Price: Not listed Available at the Carroll County District Library Nigel Cawthorne is the author of many military titles. His fascination with the Civil War began when he visited the battlefield at Gettysburg. This account is written in four parts. Part 1: The First Day/The Enemy in on Our Soil; Part 2: The Second Day/Snipers and Sharpshooters; Part 3: The Third Day/Nothing Less than Murder and Part 4: The Fourth Day & The Hereafter/Windows of Heaven.

Actual photographs and paintings bring to life the ultimate horror of the Civil War. The American Civil War is described as a turning point in history. As stated by Abraham Lincoln, “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.”

Carrollton Garden Club visits gardens Nancy Quinn Simon of the Canton Garden Center will present a program on “Making a Button Garden” at the Aug. 5 meeting of the Carrollton Garden Club.

The meeting will be held at the Senior Citizens Friendship Center at the Carroll County fairgrounds.

Club members took a July 8 trip to Austintown for a tour of the Mill Creek Metroparks, which encompasses approximately 4,400 acres, 20 miles of driving and 15 miles of trails.

Its well-tended 12-acre gardens have over 2,000 different types of plants. A beautiful rose gar-

den compliments the gardens.

Members said the driving tour highlighted lakes, waterfalls, bridges and a Pioneer pavilion.

Several Girls Scouts were recognized at the club’s June 3 meeting for their service to the club and community. They were presented a check by club President Joyce Ferguson for their participation. Club members then traveled to Kridler Nursery in Homeworth for a tour.

Carrollton High School & Middle School Remembering the Past Building the Future

Vision for new schools began 30 years ago

By DON RUTLEDGE FPS Staff Writer The vision for new schools for the Carrollton Exempted Village School District began three decades ago with the purchase of land for the current school complex.

That is when the former Board of Education voted 5-0 at its Oct. 10, 1989, meeting to purchase a 157-acre tract of land adjacent to Carrollton’s Industrial Park along SR 332, just south of Carrollton.

In looking to the future, the five board members were quick to point out that the investment was a long term “for the good of

the school system” and “an investment in the future.”

And that certainly is what it turned out to be.

Prior to the Board’s vote that night, former Carrollton School Supt. Lawrence F. (Larry) Pontuti told the Board that the asking price of James L. Myers (the property owner) was $250,000 for the property which included

three buildings.

“However, due to his (Myers) personal concern for the future of Carrollton Schools, Myers decided to offer it to the Board for of Education for $30,000 less,” Supt. Pontuti told the board.

The motion to purchase the land was made by R. Herbert Rutldege, who cited the poten-

tial growth and the comparative price of that tract of land to several other properties adjacent to the Carrollton school.

In voicing his support in favor of the property acquisition, Board Member Gary Hall cited the various land developments around Carrollton, which were being laid out in lots and the scarce pieces of land containing

the needed acreage for school development, such as the Myers’ property.

Supt. Pontuti told the board that the funds of the acquisition could be taken from the permanent improvement fund and the excess lottery profits fund.

Carrollton Schools has a rich history

CARROLLTON SCHOOLS Many years ago, each little village, each township, each community had their own school in Carroll County. Most of these schools taught grades one through eight. If you wanted a high school education, you had to travel to a larger town to attend one. Most were one room schools.

But as communities and villages grew the need for larger buildings was felt throughout the county.

Before the construction of what were deemed “modern school buildings” were built, there were small community schoolhouses in and around Carrollton.

According to history, the first school in Carroll County was contained in the Harlem Springs College. The Harlem Springs School was built in 1920. Years later the Carrollton Academy was organized in Carrollton.

After 1840 the subscription type of school faded away and a general school tax supported the small local schools in the area.

In 1935, Carrollton had three “school districts”. There was a school on Canal Street. There was also a small school built on Sheep’s Hill.

Sheep’s Hill is now the current location of Kiddie Land Park.

The third school was on Lisbon Street on the corner of North Lisbon and 5th Street NE.

CARROLLTON The first known high school building was built in Carrollton where the current elementary building stands now. It was built in 1867 and only cost $12,000. The land was owned

by Jacob Helfrich. It had six rooms, three upstairs and three downstairs.

Sadly, the school building was condemned by the state fire marshal in 1912. In November of that year, residents passed a bond issue for $50,000 and built a new school. Showing the cooperation of the community in the effort, the vote was almost unanimous to approve the new school.

Residents had already begun talking about a new school building before the state took action because the classrooms were full and there wasn’t enough space for the growth of the student population in the

area.

In February of 1913 the old building was demolished and the new building was begun on the old site. The final cost ended up $75,000 due to many changes and additions.

When the old school was destroyed and during the construction of a new school, students still had classes. They met in the Methodist, Presbyterian and United Presbyterian Churches near the school site.

They used the churches as classrooms for more than two years.

There was an old carriage shop on Second Street which was fixed up and used for two primary classrooms.

It was originally planned to have the new building finished

by September of 1913. Work was delayed for many reasons and it was completed until September of 1915.

When students moved into the completed school on Second Street, all grades were in the new building and they still had empty classrooms. Some residents complained that money was wasted building rooms that were not needed.

By 1920 the school population had increased so much that four more classrooms had to be built to house them all.

BELL-HERRON MIDDLE SCHOOL By 1925 more classrooms were needed for the children of the village. Another bond issue was passed for $145,000. It was again almost a unanimous decision.

Construction on Third Street began to build Bell Herron Middle School. The cornerstone was laid in November of 1926 and the building was ready for classes by September of 1927. Once again, the community felt that this building was too big and there were too many classrooms.

But school officials had great foresight because by 1936 the school population had grown more and every room was used and needed.

In 1937 a farm shop, music room, two large locker rooms and two shower rooms were added to Bell Herron. In 1938 – 1939 there were a total of 1,008 students in these two school buildings.

The growth was tremendous for the middle and high school students. In 1912, there were 75

to other Carrollton Elementary schools.

CARROLLTON HIGH SCHOOL students. By 1938, there were 575 students in Carrollton.

W. R. Bell was superintendent of Carrollton Schools from 1913 to 1947. J. W. Herron who had been a teacher and principal for 17 years was named to follow Bell. These two men were responsible the stability high academic standards at the schools at that time.

By the early 1950’s, baby boomers were filling the buildings. More room was needed. A cafeteria was added in 1949 and the gymnasium and the locker room were built onto the school on Second Street.

Another bond issue passed.

This was for $210,000 in 1949 to build a new building on the south side of Third Street. It had eight classrooms, a boiler room, restrooms, and a storage room. It housed the elementary children until 1964.

A $500,000 bond issue was approved in 1956 to construct a new high school building. It was to be an addition to the building on the south side of Third Street. It contained classrooms, an office and a shop area for vocational agriculture, a tool room, finishing room, power tool room and an industrial arts area.

The gymnasium was built then too with roll out bleachers and could seat 1,068 people. The band room contained an assembly area, office, repair room, five practice rooms, and storage for instruments. The building also contained three locker rooms, one for girls and two for boys.

There were two large study halls, a library, chemistry room, science rooms, office machine rooms, and even a refreshment stand by the gymnasium, a faculty room and storage areas for janitors.

The first classes were held in January of 1957. School enrollment grew to 1,523. 581 were in high school.

In 1959, four schools in the area decided to join the Carrollton School District. They were Dellroy, New Harrisburg, Kilgore and Harlem Springs. Willis School in Mechanicstown joined in 1962.

In 1963 growth continued.

Residents approved a $325,000 bond issue to build eight more classrooms to the high school and a cafeteria to be built between the high school and the

elementary building. The high school had been built to hold about 500 to 600 students. In 1963 there were 740 students.

At this time the total number of students in Carrollton Elementary, Bell Herron Middle School and Carrollton High School was over 1,800.

The district continued to grow.

East Township joined Carrollton schools in 1965, Augusta in 1966 and Perrysville in 1968.

In 1976, with the construction of Buckeye Joint Vocational School at New Philadelphia 276 Carrollton students attended the new school.

The total enrollment of students in 1977 in Carrollton Schools was 3,401.

Two railroad boxcars were donated to the school district and one was converted into a reading lab for high school students.

In 1982, citizens worked with school personnel and built a locker room-weight training facility as an addition to the 1926 Bell Herron Middle School.

More additions came along in 1984 at a cost of $1,100,000.

The high school included eight more classrooms above the 1963 addition, hallways connecting the floors, two stairwells, an elevator, work room, storage room and a student activities office. An addition to Willis Elementary included a room for kindergarten, a library, more classrooms and two offices.

Also in 1984, the district purchased the house next door to the high school on Third Street and was used for many offices.

In 1985, the board spent $300,000 to add to Dellroy Elementary four classrooms, storage areas, teacher workroom, and more. In 1986 Kilgore Elementary received a library and office.

On October 10, 1989 the board purchased the 157 acre Rutan farm on State Route 332 just outside of Carrollton. The intent was to provide an area to build future schools and athletic fields.

AUGUSTA SCHOOL Before established schools, one of the first in Augusta Township was a subscription school in the 1830 and 1840’s.

There were three districts in Augusta Township. There was Stone Pile, which was built early in the 1800’s out of stone.

District 2 was called Dewey

Hall and there were two buildings on the south side of State Route 9 about a mile from Stillfork Creek. It was named after Admiral Dewey, a hero from the battle at Manilla Bay. District 3 was named Whole Bark. District 4 was called Lower Muddy Fork. District 5 was called Enterprise and there were three schools in that area.

District 6 was names Eureka.

A school building was built in 1899 and replaced the school building that had stood on the same spot.

District 7 was in Augusta and built in 1927. Before it was finished, a fire destroyed the old school building and students were taught in what was finished of the new school.

The first united Augusta school was built in 1853 and was destroyed by fire in 1924. A second Augusta school was built in 1887 and it also was destroyed by fire in 1927. The current Augusta School was built in 1928 and closed in 2019. It is schedule to be demolished in August of 2019.

DELLROY SCHOOL The Dellroy school was built in several phases. It was a basic school structure and had several additions built on over the years. It was closed in 2019 and is scheduled to be demolished in August of 2019.

KILGORE SCHOOL The Kilgore School was built in 1905. The building was sold and is currently used as a business.

NEW HARRISBURG SCHOOL The school at New Harrisburg was built in 1931. It was closed in 1960 and currently has been remodeled as apartments.

PERRYSVILLE SCHOOL The Perrysville School was built in 1927 and closed in 1971 when it joined the Carrollton Schools.

WILLIS SCHOOL Willis School joined the Carrollton Exempted School District in 1962 instead of sending students to Carrollton on a tuition basis. It has since closed.

HARLEM SPRINGS SCHOOL The Harlem Springs School was built in 1935 and added onto in 1948. It closed in 2008 and students were transferred

Free Press Standard | NEW SCHOOLS

New schools feature state-of-the-art technology Following is an overview of the new 1,033 student Carrollton High School – Middle School Phase I of a two-phase PK-12 project designed by Lesko Architecture and built by Shook-Touchstone Construction.

The Carrollton Exempted Village School District has partnered with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) to share the total cost of the project and has added LFI’s (locally funded initiatives) for a new Performing Arts Center and Field House.

The building plan is organized around a central core that includes the Cafeteria and Dining Hall, the Performing Arts Center, Music and Band classrooms, a High School Gymnasium and Middle School Gymnasium along with multiple locker rooms.

The two Academic wings, with the Middle School on the west side and High School on the east side of the building, are oriented facing north and south to provide optimal natural daylight to each classroom.

The new school total square footage is 167,193 square feet.

The Academic wings are intended to support 21st Century learning and instruction. The first and second floor wings are each designed with classrooms surrounding flexible and adapt-

able Extended Learning Studios that can accommodate group activities of every size.

The new building has four Extended Learning Studios that are 2,835 square foot each and have four adjacent classrooms with operable partitions that can be opened between classrooms as well as the Studios in order to provide maximum flexibility with a total area of over 6,000 square feet.

The new building also has Career-Technical space including a 1,782 square foot shop and adjacent classroom.

The Performing Arts Center in the new Carrollton High School-Middle School is a stateof-the-art, theatre-style auditorium. This theatre house has seating for 513 and includes an accessible orchestra pit for musical productions.

The stage has 2,891 square feet behind the proscenium (curtain) and there will be additional square footage in front of the proscenium when the orchestra pit filler is in place.

Backstage spaces include a 400 square foot scene shop with overhead door access from the driveway to backstage and for construction of stage sets that leads directly to the stage. This backstage area includes a 370 square foot drama storage room for props and costumes, and separate boys and girls dressing

The four Extended Learning Studios provide a place for tutoring or for break-out sessions.

rooms connected to a common makeup room.

This Performing Arts Center also includes a sound system designed for stage productions and recordings, a video system to allow recording of rehearsals and productions and a large screen projector with an electrically operated screen for video presentations. The sound and lighting control can be operated from the control room during productions, as well as a house position to allow flexibility for performances and rehearsals.

The stage has a fully rigged flyloft to allow stage sets, acoustical shells, and lighting to be flown out overhead and a catwalk to access the auditorium lighting positions for productions.

The Field House design is a

22,500 square foot physical education and physical fitness “stand alone” classroom facility at the front of the new campus along State Route 332. This facility will house a full-court basketball and volleyball playing area with painted court lines that will be finished with a rubberized playing surface surrounded by a painted, 2-lane indoor track.

The main court area is designed to include two full-length batting cages that consist solely of beam clamps, pulleys, cable, galvanized steel cage frame, net and electric winch.

The 7,272 square foot gymnasium area has ample space for overall baseball and softball training. This area could also house a limited indoor football or soccer practice in inclement

weather.

The field house will also include a fitness center/weight room and a varsity wrestling room that are both approximately 2,000 square feet, an auxiliary program/classroom, a complete varsity locker room with 70 lockers and a complete junior varsity locker room with 67 lockers. The facility will also house a training room, restrooms, shower rooms, laundry and storage areas, along with three offices for various staffing.

The total cost of the new school and field house is $42,752,000, according to school officials. The amount provided by Carroll Energy through an Enterprise Zone Agreement is $1.3 million for 30 years - totaling $39 million.

The amount provided by the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission is 41% of the total cost, which is approximately $16,071,036.

School officials said the money includes continued maintenance since the state of Ohio requires a maintenance fund of $200,000 annually for a building of this size.

Drop-off locations and parking area: The middle school parent drop-off is at the west end of the building and the high school drop-off is at the east end.

The north student parking lot has 168 spaces and the teacher/ visitor lots have 95 spaces, of which 7 are handicapped. Some

will also be marked for carpool and fuel efficient vehicles to comply with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) requirements.

Kitchen/Cafeteria - The middle school and high school will use the same dining area that has seating for 356. Plans are for three separate lunches. The kitchen has been designed and built to accommodate the entire K-12 building. The future elementary is designed with a separate dining hall.

Furnishings - All furnishings in the building are new and included in the budget.

Auction for old items – An auction of band instruments – stoves – desks – Science Lab equipment – Memorabilia – and stonework will be held Saturday, Aug. 10, beginning at 9 a.m. in the former high school gym.

The auction, ordered by the Carrollton Board of Education, will be conducted by Newell Realty & Auctions LLC. An advertisement listing items to be sold is published in this issue.

Disposition of old buildings – The budget for construction also includes the abatement and demolition of Bell Herron Middle School (not including the gymnasium), Augusta Elementary and Dellroy Elementary School. These buildings are scheduled for demo completion by the end of October.

Each classroom features “diversity seating” to allow a better learning environment. For those students who are bigger or who get restless sitting, they will be able to use pub-style seating which are higher than regular seats.

Back to School Extravaganza is Aug. 10 The first day of school is right around the corner.

Safe Kids Carroll County wants to kick off the school year right by inviting you to the annual Back to School Safety & Wellness Extravaganza Saturday, Aug. 10, 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the Carroll County Fairgrounds, north of Carrollton on Rt. 9 (Kensington Road).

Superintendents reflect on the new school complex The current superintendent and a former superintendent of the Carrollton Exempted Village School District were asked for comments about the new school complex for grades 6-12 on board-owned ground along state Route 332 (Scio Road), south of town.

Following are responses submitted by Supt. Dr. David Quattrochi and Former Supt.

Lawrence F. (Larry) Pontuti.

Dr. Quattrochi said: The idea of one building started out as a dream and then became a reality after 18 months of negotiating with Advanced Power.

This two year building project would not be possible without support from the Carroll County Commissioners, Washington Township Trustees, the Village of Carrollton, Carroll County Energy, Board of Education and many others that believe students should have the opportunity to learn in a 21st century facility.

In addition, all elementary students will be attending the old high school and part of the current elementary building.

As your superintendant, I am proud to announce that the new 6 thru 12 building will be open for the 2019-20 school year. Go Warriors!

DR. DAVID QUATTROCHI Superintendent

LAWRENCE PONTUTI Former Superintendent

Comments given to The Free Press Standard by former School Supt. Pontuti, who now resides in Mesquite, NV, with his wife, Pat, a former Carrollton schools treasurer, are: “Back in the day, Jim Myers, of Myers Mining, offered 160 acres to the school district at a huge discount.

Architect Don Glenn remarked, ‘What a perfect location, right in the center of Carroll County.’

Board members Gary Hall, Herb Rutledge and Gordon

Evans, had the foresight and agreed to purchase the land over much opposition.

The land first began to be developed via athletics, headed by such people as Curt Hensley, Earl Able, Harry Hill, Kirk Lowdermilk and many others.

I viewed it as one of the great decisions made by a board of education, decades ago! And I think it’s wonderful that the school system has such capable leaders, including Dr. Quattrochi, Rose Seck, Mike Pozderac and others.”

Digital sign featured at complex entrance The entrance to Carrollton’s new high school / middle school complex got an upgrade to digital.

Paying homage to the property’s farm beginnings, the foundation stones of the old barn were used as the foundation for the complex’s new sign.

The house that recently contained the offices of school administrators and treasurer personnel of the Carrollton Exempted Village School District was demolished Friday, July 26. The demolition is part of the construction and completion of the new high school/middle school for grades 6-12, which is to be dedicated this Saturday.

VISION from PG. 8 Don Glenn, president of the Marr, Knapp & Crawfis architectural firm in New Philadelphia, told the Board his firm believes the property to be ideally suited for school purposes.

Voting for the purchase of the property were Board President Gordon Evans, Board Vice President Gary Hall and the three other board members R. Herbert Rutledge, John Beck and Robert Dunlap.

Succeeding Attempts Several attempts to pass a bond issue and tax levy for new schools by succeeding school officials failed.

However, in 2015 a “miracle from Boston” allowed Carrollton’s schools to construct a new complex on the board-owned ground on SR 332 when the current Superintendent Dr. David Quattrochi and several county officials met Jonathan Winslow from Advanced Power.

When Winslow asked what his company could do to help and what did they need – Dr. Quat-

trochi answered by saying – a new school!

An agreement was reached whereby 61 percent of the $38 million building project is being provided by Carroll County Energy, which has a sub-station along SR 9, just north of Carrollton.

Company officials agreed to pay the Carrollton Exempted Village School District $1.3 million per year for 29 years with the state providing $15,462,000, according to Carrollton School District Roxanne Mazur.

This was all made possible because of the cooperation of Carroll County Energy, the Carroll County Commissioners, the Board of Education, Washington Township Board of Trustees and representatives of the village of Carrollton, according to Dr. Quattrochi.

Construction on the new complex for grades 6-12 began with a ground breaking May 18, 2017, with completion approximately two years later.

In addition to the new school complex, a ground breaking was held May 8, 2015, for a new POWER Training and Outdoor Learning Center.

Construction is being completed on a new 22,500-square-foot Field House being constructed on the site of the former barn, which was part of the former D. O. Rutan farm.

The historic house, which housed the administration offices for several years, was torn down Friday, July 26.

According to Dr. Quattrochi, the total new construction of the school, POWER Training Center and Field House has amounted to over $42 million – without property owners paying any additional property taxes.

Because of state funding provided through the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission, demolition is required for the Bell-Herron Middle School, which has been razed; Augusta elementary school, Dellroy elementary school and Carrollton elementary school.

Congratulations to Carrollton Exempted Village Schools on its New Middle School - High School Complex!

Years after exhibiting, Frew continues to work at county fair

By DON RUTLEDGE FPS Staff Writer

One of the busiest people at this year’s 169th annual Carroll County Fair was Wes Frew.

He is no stranger, as he has been involved with the county fair since 1992, which was the first year he was in 4-H. During his exhibitor years, Wes showed market lambs, market hogs, meat rabbits, breeding rabbits and numerous still projects.

Although the 2002 fair was the last as an exhibitor, Wes started as the Junior Fair secretary in 2005, a position he still holds.

During the past 14 years, Wes is credited with playing a role in bringing about online entries

Fair fun was in the cards It was difficult to find a cool spot at the Carroll County fair this year, but this group of 4-H kids found one Sunday afternoon.

They played some cards to have some fun after a week of hard work.

They all were members of different 4-H clubs but had been friends for many years.

They were hot. They were a bit tired. But all of them had a great time at the fair and can’t wait until next year.

Mary Miller, known as the “Peanut Lady,” has spent the past 40 years selling peanuts beside the grandstand at the Carroll County Fair.

Miller’s Peanuts has been longtime fair tradition Mary Miller could be considered a “fixture” at the Carroll County Fair!

For the past 40 plus years she has been known as the “Peanut Lady” located at the south end of the grandstand.

The smiling congenial 84-yearold “young lady” was already “on duty” the Sunday before

the start of the 169th annual county fair.

She commutes daily during the fair from her home in Bloomingdale. Mary said she promised her late husband, George, who died in 2018, that “I would keep it (Miller’s Peanuts) going,” she commented.

When asked about how many

hours she puts in each day at the fair, she quipped: “Oh, I don’t know – but I do know we are the last to leave the fairgrounds each night!”

Mary is being assisted this year with the business by her 21-year-old grandson, Tyler McAfee, who also lives in Bloomingdale.
