The Carrollton varsity baseball team had another week of strong play as they won two out of three games to bring its season record to 6-3 overall and 2-2 in the Northeastern Buckeye Conference. Last Monday, Carrollton hosted Northwest in a nonleague game. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the sixth inning when the Warriors scored three times. Northwest scored a single run in the top of the seventh, but the Warriors held on for the 3-1 win. In the sixth, Jeremiah Lowery doubled and drove in two Carrollton runs and Zach Brannick singled to drive in the Warriors’ third run. Northwest held the Warriors to just four hits in the game, Mirko Dobrijevic and Storm Mohn also

had singles for Carrollton. Mohn, Zach Fry and Krantz each had a run scored for the Warriors. Tyler Krantz started and picked up the win. Krantz went 6.2 innings, giving up one run on eight hits, while striking out three and walking one. Fry went in to get the final out. Last Tuesday, the Warriors made a road trip to NBC rival Alliance where they were defeated 3-1. The Warriors scored first in the top of the first on a RBI single by Krantz, but Alliance plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning for a 2-1 lead. The Aviators added an insurance run in the bottom of the fourth inning to end the scoring. Carrollton was held to just four

hits in the game. Dobrijevic had a first inning double and scored the Warriors’ only run. Brannick, Brandon Johnson and Krantz each had singles. Lowery started and took the loss for Carrollton. He pitched five innings, giving up three runs on six hits, while striking out three and walking five. Mason Voulgares came on to pitch the final inning, allowing a hit and striking out two. Last Thursday, the Warriors reversed the score on visiting Alliance, winning 3-1. Carrollton scored all three of its runs in the third inning on back-toback doubles by Dobrijevic and Krantz.

schedule last week. They won three, lost one and had last Friday’s game against Coshocton cancelled due to weather. The Lady Warriors opened play last week with a very impressive 183 win over visiting Marlington on Tuesday. Head Coach Jon Cox felt his Warriors needed to get off to a good start. “This was a big win for us tonight,” he said. “We dropped two NBC games last week to front-runner Louisville and West Branch. We had to get things going in league play if we still want to have a chance to compete for the league title. Myself and our coaching staff, Travis Ledford, Ron Hepner and Richard Amos, felt we needed to put together a line up that would be productive at the plate and put pressure on Marlington for our first league win.” Carrollton came out ready to play and took a quick 5-0 lead after the first inning. “The girls came out swinging and ready to play,” noted Cox. “We scored a lot of runs, but most importantly we played like a team and all the credit goes to the girls. We just have to stay together like we did tonight and anything is possible.” The Warriors added four more runs in the bottom of the second and third innings to take a 13-3 lead. Carrollton put the game away in the fourth as it plated five runs to take an 18-3 lead. The Warrior defense held the

Voters to decide fate of $17 million plus bond issue in Brown school district By Don Rutledge FPS Associate Editor Residents of the Brown Local School at Malvern have an opportunity to get new school facilities with 30% state funding if they approve a bond issue and maintenance tax levy at the May 7 special election. Voters in eight precincts of the Brown Local School District will decide the fate of a proposed $17,152,577 bond issue and an

additional 0.5-mill tax ley for construction and maintenance of new schools. The bond issue request is basically the same as the one which failed by only 60 votes at the November 2012 election. In millage, the bond issue request amounts to 6.7 mills or 67 cents for each $100 of tax valuation for a period of 36 years beginning with the 2013 tax year. The 0.5-mill tax levy for maintenance for the new schools

amounts to five cents for each $100 valuation, generating $61,700 annually for a continuing period of time. Commenting on the request, Brown Local Schools Supt. Connie Griffin said: “We are very hopeful that our school district and community can benefit from the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission’s program. “We believe this is a cost savings to the community because the state will contribute 30% or

$7,351,104 – of the funding for a $24,503,681 new facility versus tax payers paying for repairs to the existing structure which have been estimated at $21 million. “The Board of Education and Administration encourage tax payers to contact us for specific information or to answer questions,” she added. School officials may be contacted for more information by calling 330863-1170, ext 1. Supt. Griffin said school officials and the Board of Education consid-

ered three site options for constructing a new building to house students in grades K-12. Without divulging the specific sites, the Superintendent said the Board has presented a proposal for purchase to a property owner which is being negotiated. Due to the present school being in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s newly revised flood plain, any new construction at that site on W. Main St. is prohibited.

Four retirement resignations accepted by Edison Local school board Four retirement resignations were accepted by the Edison Local Board of Education at its April 9 meeting. They included: Linda Griffith, an administrative secretary with 17 years of service; Randi Bake, a kindergarten

Bell-Herron students to stage “My Son Pinocchio JR.” Bell-Herron Middle School students are practicing for the spring play. Disney’s My Son Pinocchio JR. is an MTI musical from the Broadway Junior Collection. In this stage adaptation of the famous Disney movie Pinocchio, Pinocchio must prove himself brave, truthful and unselfish, but what about the toymaker? Raising a perfect child might not be as easy as it looks. The Blue Fairy and her Fairies in Training lead Geppetto on a hilarious journey through this fractured fairytale in order to discover what it means to be a “real father.” Oscar and Grammy award-winner Stephen Schwartz adds a brand new score to the classic Disney hits, “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings.” The cast is made up of 6th, 7th and 8th graders at Bell-Herron Middle School. Performance dates are May 17 and 18 at 7:30 pm. Ticket are $6 per adult and $4 per child. Tickets can be purchased at the school during the day and after school until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The musical is directed by Vonda Barnhart. Shown above are: Front row (L to R): Morgan Timberlake as the Blue Fairy, Kody Bennett as Pinocchio and Chris Andrews as Geppetto. Back row (L to R): Makenna Greaves as the fairy Viola, Karie Koenitzer as the fairy Sue, Shelby Green as the fairy Rosa, and Ellie Nichols as the fairy Arancia.

Ferrell inducted into National Society of Leadership, Success Ryan Ferrell, a 2010 graduate of Minerva High School, and a sophomore majoring in Mec h a n i c a l Engineering, was inducted into The National Society of Ryan Leadership and Ferrell Success, Sigma Alpha Pi at The Ohio State University April 13. Sigma Alpha Pi is a Leadership Honor Society available only to a limited number of students on campus based on academic accomplishment and leadership potential. The National Society of Leadership and Success is one of the largest college leadership honor societies in the United States. It was founded in 2001 to build leaders who make a better world. As of today, the National Society of Leadership and Success provides these attributes to more than 260,000 members nationwide and more than 350 active college chapters who embody this mission and serves as a powerful force of good in the greater community by encouraging and organizing action to better the world. The society was based on the belief that we accomplish more together than we would achieve alone. Ferrell participated in networking team meetings, learning from celebrities and best-selling authors and attending leadership seminars and mentoring peers. Through these activities, he was asked to become part of a community where success oriented-individuals come together to learn and support one another. Ferrell is the son of Steve and Dianne (Coffy) Ferrell of Malvern.

Sandy Valley Elementary receives $175,000 grant Sandy Valley Elementary (SVE) school has received a $175,000 grant from The Sisters of Charity Foundation in Canton to participate in the Sustaining Partnerships to Assure Ready Kids (SPARK) Ohio and Ready School project through December of 2015. According to Sandy Valley Elementary Principal Vic Johnson, the first step for SVE is to recruit parent partners. The parent partners will work directly with SVE and future SVE parents to meet the literacy needs for fouryear-olds residing within the school district. Johnson said SVE is pleased the Stark County District Library has already joined the partnership and will support the initiative by providing one of the parent partners. Research from SPARK indicates children going through the program demonstrate a statistically significant positive difference in state-wide tests during and after their participation in the program than non-SPARK peers. Johnson said SPARK is a highly effective, family–focused intervention program that works collaboratively with families, schools and the community to increase children’s readiness for kindergarten, increase parents’ effectiveness as learning advocates for their children and improve children’s transitions into elementary school. “Thus far, the program has helped over 2,200 Ohio families prepare their preschool-age children for kindergarten,” Johnson added.

Tinlin earns national speech title with Bradley University

Ryan Tinlin displays the collegiate National Championship trophy following competition at Huntington, WVA.

The Bradley University speech team continues to rack up forensic championships, and 2009 Carrollton High School graduate Ryan Tinlin is one of the reasons. Tinlin, a senior at the Peoria, IL, campus says, “No one person wins nationals, it is always a group effort from the collective.” The team won the American Forensic Association (AFA) national title as well as the National Forensic Association (NFA) title in 2012 and recently repeated the fete in 2013. Just before the AFA finals, Tinlin sent a text message to his parents, “I would love for you guys to come see either AFA or NFA; NFA would be best, its closer and will be my last performances, ever.” So, Ryan’s parents, Charlie and Karen Tinlin of Dellroy, and Ryan’s younger brother, Zac (a senior at CHS) made the trip to Marshall University in Huntington, WV, the weekend of April 20 to watch him compete in the NFA finals. They were not disappointed! Tinlin took nine speeches to his

final collegiate forensic tournament, NFA, in Huntington. Ryan qualified seven events in the quarterfinals, and when the quarterand semi- final rounds were completed, Ryan qualified five of them into the final round. (Bradley University took 23 events into the finals.) “Its organized chaos,” said Tinlin’s father. “They ‘drop’ the standings down on scrolls, and you watch as the kids (coaches, parents, teammates) look to see if their performance was good enough to advance to the next round. It’s really intense.” It started at 8 a.m. with the quarter-finals (QF) announcement of the AB group. Participants go perform, then come back and wait for the next drop of CD group, then do the same again for semi-finals, and ditto for the final round. It’s non-stop until everyone is finished. In the finals, Tinlin would compete and be excused to his next performance. “There were times in the QF, SF and even finals where

he would not get to see any of the competitors in the category perform because he was off to the next one,” said Tinlin’s father, “It was amazing to watch the energy that all of these kids put into their performances.” Tinlin earned first place in the Informative category; fourth place in Prose; third place in After Dinner Speaking; sixth in Rhetorical Criticism; and fifth in Duo w/Justin Restaino. There were six participants in each final round. In overall individual points awarded to each participant, Tinlin finished with 106 points, which was good enough for fourth place individual. Bradley speakers swept the top five honors to earn the team championship. The win marked Bradley’s second consecutive NFA title (they also won their second consecutive AFA tournament at Hutchinson Community College, just outside Kansas City, KS, two weeks earlier). With the win, Bradley University has 41 national team championships, which accounts for about 58% of the 71 national team

championships that have been awarded since college forensic tournaments (AFA and NFA) began. “That’s more national titles than any school in the country has earned in basketball, football and baseball combined,” Tinlin said. “My Informative speech was about the various adaptations that fuel belief in humans,” he said. “And ultimately how our opinions are far from certain fact. Our brains aren’t designed to be changed by evidence but by empathy and discourse.” Tinlin also noted, “I’ve competed in 13 finals at national tournaments since I got to Bradley, and I finally got a National Championship!” “I plan to continue my education after graduation this spring. Ultimately, I want to be a college professor of psychology,” he concluded. Tinlin might be graduating from Bradley, but Ryan’s brother Zac, affectionately known already by the speech team, as Min-Tin, has been accepted at Bradley University and he plans on following in his big brothers foot steps.

Spring Lawn & Garden Just how do you repair those unsightly bald spots in your lawn? Lawn care aficionados know how a single bald spot can make an otherwise luscious lawn look worn down and poorly maintained. A bald spot can stick out like a sore thumb, while several bald spots can compromise a home's curb appeal. Treating bald spots typically depends on what is causing the bald spot. Bugs, dryness, pet waste and damage from mowers are some of the more common causes of bald spots. The following is a breakdown of these different causes and how best to address each situation so you can restore your lawn to its natural beauty. Dryness A lawn can go dry because of drought in the summertime or

during the winter months when there is not much rain or snowfall. Homeowners cannot change the weather, but they can help their lawn avoid becoming the burned or yellowed turf that often results after extended periods of dryness. Fertilizing the lawn during the spring and summer is a good first step. This helps the lawn grow in healthy and thick. Once you have fertilized, don't cut the grass too short. When grass is cut too short, the soil struggles to retain moisture, which can eventually lead to bald spots if weather conditions are dry. During especially dry periods in the summer, watering might be necessary. You won't have to water frequently, but be sure to water deeply so

of structure that makes it difficult for other people's pets to access your lawn. When it's your own pet causing the damage, address the spots where your pet relieves itself as quickly as possible. Watering the area within eight hours can significantly reduce the risk of lawn damage by diluting the nitrogen levels. Another way to address the issue is to encourage the animal to use various spots in the yard, rather than continually using the same spot. Flush each area with water immediately after the pet is finished. If the damage is already considerable, remove the damaged grass and reseed the spot. Mower Damage

the water can reach the roots of the grass. Pet Waste Waste from pets can cause bald spots on a yard. This might surprise some homeowners, but pet waste contains a high level of concentrated nitrogen that, when applied to a lawn, can burn the grass and cause bald spots. Urine is most likely to cause bald spots, but fecal matter can as well. When addressing the problem of pet waste on your lawn, make sure no one else's pets are the cause of the problem.Neighbors out walking their dogs should be discouraged from allowing their dogs to use your lawn as a restroom. If this does not work, then erect a fence or some type

Sometimes Mother Nature and man's best friend are not the culprit with regard to bald spots on your lawn. Human error can cause bald spots, too. Dull mower blades or grass that is cut too low can cause bald spots. Fortunately, this is easily remedied. To avoid bald spots, make sure mower blades are sharpened at the beginning of each mowing season, as dull blades damage the grass, which is then forced to use valuable nutrients to treat torn grass, weakening

the lawn over time. When mowing, make sure you're not cutting too low so the soil can retain as much moisture as possible. This will necessitate more frequent mowing, but this, too, can prevent bald spots, as it ensures those parts of the grass that contain chlorophyll will not be removed. Bald spots can turn a pristine lawn into an eyesore. But treating bald spots can be easy and, when done effectively, the lawn can be restored quickly.

Plant right to conserve water; take time to do some research Conservation is one of the keys to adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle. Though some might feel the transition to such a lifestyle might be difficult, it's often far simpler than it may seem. Conserving water, for instance, can be done in a number of ways. One such way concerns how you treat your landscape. Planting the right way can save a substantial amount of water, which will also save you money on your utility bills. The following are a few ways to plant right that won't require a complete overhaul of your landscape. * Research before you plant anything. Decorating your landscape with the prettiest plant might add to your home's aesthetic appeal, but it's not always the most practical or eco-friendly

decision. Choose plants that will thrive in your local climate so you don't need to constantly water them just to keep them alive and looking good. Certain grasses, for instance, are best suited for certain climates. When planting, make use of shaded areas around your property so plants won't need more water to make it through the warmer months of the year. * Maintain a healthy soil. Healthy soil allows water to penetrate effectively, promoting strong roots and ensuring plants get all they need to thrive. Aerate your lawn, including areas around trees, once a year and cultivate the soil before planting. Add compost or fertilize the soil, which increases moisture retention and reduces the need to water.

Healthy soil helps make stronger plants that won't need to be watered as often as plants that are not healthy or struggling to survive. * Be timely when planting. Spring or fall is typically the ideal time to plant. Though you can plant in the summer, that's not the best time if one of your goals is to conserve water. Planting in the summer when temperatures are generally at their warmest makes it more difficult for plants to establish themselves without extra watering. * Plant shade trees. Shade trees are trees that, when full grown, shade the yard and plants from the sun. This lowers the air and soil temperatures and reduces moisture loss. The more moisture a plant and the soil can maintain, the less they need to be watered. * Don't procrastinate with regard to lawn care. It's easy to put off lawn maintenance, particularly during the dog days of summer when temperatures can be especially hot. However, it won't take long for a blazing sun to do a number on your lawn.

Spring Lawn & Garden Preventing weed growth is a priority for many homeowners Weeds in a lawn or garden can be an unsightly and potentially unhealthy nuisance. No gardener enjoys seeing weeds spring up throughout his or her carefully planted garden, as such uninvited guests rob a well-tended garden of its aesthetic appeal. In addition, weeds can steal valuable water and nutrients from plants, prohibiting their growth as a result. Homeowners who understand how harmful weeds can be can prevent them in a variety of ways. Where weed growth is insignificant, it might be possible to simply pull them out of the ground before they can do any substantial damage. In areas of heavy weed growth, however, a more concentrated effort must be

made to prevent further weed growth once the weeds have been removed. The following are a few ways homeowners can prevent weeds from growing throughout their lawns. * Be proactive. Preventing weed growth is a proactive job, so homeowners want to be proactive to keep weeds from infesting their property. Proper and routine lawn maintenance might be all it takes. Add quality topsoil to your lawn or garden to produce a healthier surface that makes it more difficult for weeds to grow. As the season progresses, continue to maintain your lawn by mowing and watering. * Aerate the soil at the onset of the season. Aerating your lawn at the dawn of the mowing season

helps break up soil that grew compacted over the winter. Once aerated, the soil can disperse nutrients, oxygen and water more effectively, allowing healthier roots to grow and reducing the risk of weed growth as a result. * Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizer helps grass grow in thick and dense, which leaves little to no room for the growth of weeds. While fertilizer does not necessarily guarantee that weeds won't grow, it does go a long way toward helping a lawn grow in healthy, and a healthy lawn is often a weed's worst enemy. Some fertilizers on the market are a combination of fertilizer and weed preventer, and such products might be ideal for homeowners who are especially concerned about weed

growth. The lifespan of weed preventers varies, so keep in mind that you might need to reapply a weed preventer in a few months to keep getting the same results. Fertilizing is typically done twice

Benefits of hiring a landscaping service The desire to have a pristine, wellmanicured landscape leads many homeowners to toil outdoors for hours every weekend. Hiring a professional landscaper can free up homeowners' time and help them ensure their yards are cared for properly. One of the benefits of hiring a landscaper is the time savings. Landscapers typically have commercial-grade equipment that can dramatically reduce the time it takes to mow and perform other maintenance tasks around your property. Furthermore, some services have multiple employees working concurrently, enabling them to tackle several projects at the same time and complete them in a fraction of the time it would take a homeowner working on his or her own. Landscapers familiar with botany and landscape design understand how to properly care for plants and trees on your property, while novice green thumbers may be unaware about when to prune trees and shrubs, at what height to cut the lawn and which plants will thrive in particular locations. Such do-ityourself maintenance may even cost more money than leaving it to a professional. Hiring a professional landscaper is, in many instances, more economical. For a certain weekly or monthly fee, homeowners receive the benefit of professional knowledge and execution. Also, homeowners will not have the expense of purchasing the various tools and equipment necessary for lawn and garden maintenance, tools and equipment that include lawnmowers, string weeders, edgers, fertilizer, grass seed, leaf blowers, and shovels. Another benefit is the lawn will continue to be mowed whether a homeowner is home or not. During the spring and summer vacation season, it's easy for homeowners to overlook their lawn and garden in favor of recreation and leisure activities. Without proper watering and maintenance, lawns and gardens can brown or overgrowth can occur. But hiring a landscaping service allows homeowners to rest assured that their yards will be maintained whether they're home or not. Hiring a local landscaping service will not only benefit homeowners, but also it will benefit the local economy. Residents can feel comfortable knowing their lawn service will be available for calls when needed and will be familiar with the community. Also, local contractors may go the extra mile to earn your business recommendation.

a year, once in the spring and again in the fall. * Lay down landscape fabric. Landscape fabric is another weed prevention alternative that can prevent weed growth for several years. Before laying down landscape fabric, which is perhaps most commonly used in flower beds, remove all weeds and other vegetation you do not wish to grow. You will likely need to cut the fabric to the area you want it to cover and cut an opening for plants and flowers. The fabric is then typically covered with mulch, which keeps the

fabric in place. Landscape fabric is effective because it blocks the sun from reaching any area that it's covering while still allowing air, water and nutrients to penetrate and reach the soil. Weeds need sun to grow, so landscape fabric can be highly effective at preventing weed growth. Weeds are an unsightly nuisance that homeowners would prefer to do without. Preventing weed growth is relatively easy, and, in many cases, your efforts can bear fruit through the entire season.

Carrollton baseball caps off successful diamond season It’s been quite a season for the Carrollton baseball team. As sophomores, this year’s sen-

iors had just two wins. This year, they will end with no less than 16 victories.

Senior Mason Voulgares got his first start of the season last week in a conference game against Salem at Carrollton.

“The seniors have come a long way since they were sophomores,” said head coach Butch Wood. “I am just so proud of them. They have displayed great leadership, have never given up and have shown great leadership to the younger kids. They are going to be missed.” The Warriors began tournament play last week in the Division II sectional at Vaccaro Field in Steubenville, where they pulled out a 6-5 win over Indian Creek in their opening game last Wednesday. The Warriors made the most of their seven hits in the game, Tyler Krantz had a hit and two RBI for the Warriors, while Jeremiah Lowery recorded two hits, a RBI and a run scored. Adam Warner, Andrew Collins, Storm Mohn and Mirko Dobrijevic also had singles for Carrollton. Carrollton struck first with a run in the bottom of the first. Indian Creek came back in the top of the second and plated two runs for a 21 advantage. Carrollton tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the second and took the lead for good by scoring two runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings. Creek held a brief 3-2 lead in the third inning and added its final two in the sixth. Lowery was on the mound for the Warriors and went the distance. He gave up 10 hits, five runs and walked five. Last Saturday in the sectional championship game, the Warriors fell to Harrison Central 8-7 in a 12inning marathon. (Continued on B-2)

Warrior boys track places NBC sixth; Tranter grabs hurdle title The eight schools from the Northeastern Buckeye Conference met last Friday afternoon at Marlington High School for the annual NBC boys Track and Field Championships. Carrollton placed sixth out of the eight teams with 64 points.

The Warriors had one first place finisher, junior Lynk Tranter in the 110 hurdles with a time of 14.96. Tranter also earned a second in the long jump with a jump of 20’6.5” and a third in the high jump with a leap of 6-feet even. “We had some good individual

Carrollton’s Lynk Tranter came away from last week’s NBC championships as the only Warrior to gain a title. He won the 110 hurdle event.

performances,” said head coach Larry Cogan. “We are now looking forward to the district meet.” Placing third for the Warriors were Noah Stertzbach in the 400meter dash with a time of 52.91 and Tyler Dodd in the shot put with a throw of 48’2”. Senior Dakota Maple finished third in the discus with a throw of 155’1”. In most league meets his throw would have been a winning throw, but not in the NBC. Defending Division II state champion Anthony Shivers from Salem ended with a throw of 185’10” and Marlington’s Anthony Wilks placed second with a throw of 177’ 7”. Austin Keefer had a good day and placed fourth in the long jump with a jump of 19’4.5” and the 3,200meter relay team of Keefer, Stertzbach, Austin Wolford and John Brown also placed fourth with a time of 14.96. Wolford was also fifth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 10:36 and seventh in the 1,600meter run with a time of 4:43. Zach Fuhrer was seventh in the 300 hurdles with a time of 44.74. Placing eighth were Dodd in the discus with a throw of 130’9” and Jacob Casto in the shot put with a throw of 44-feet even. In dual meet action last week, the Warriors ended their season with a 74-54 loss at Louisville. Placing first were Tranter in the 110 hurdles with a time of 15.3 and the long jump with a jump of 20’ 6.5”, Dodd in the shot with a throw of 48’1”, Maple in the discus with a throw of 149’5” and the 1,600meter relay team of Keefer, Brown, Fuhrer and Wolford with a time of 3:53.

Carrollton’s Makenzie Lindner reacts to a bunt being laid down by Minerva in game at Minerva last Tuesday. The Lady Lions came away with a 5-4 win.

Excellent season comes to an end for Lady Warrior softball team An excellent season came to a disappointing end for the Carrollton varsity softball team last week as they dropped their final three games. The Warriors end with an overall record of 19-9 and 9-5 in the Northeastern Buckeye Conference. Carrollton played Dover in the Carrollton Division II sectional championship game last Wednesday at the Field of Dreams. The Tornadoes completely dominated the contest, winning 10-0 in five innings. The Warriors were held to just three hits, singles by Bethany Sevek and Jenna Metz and a double by Morgan Hepner. Metz took the loss in going the distance. She struck out four and walked five. The Warriors had six

errors in the game. In regular season action, the Warriors were on the road at Minerva last Tuesday where they fell to the Lions 5-4. Carrollton got on the board first. Tanner Owens reached on an error by the catcher, stole second and scored on a double by Taylor Lowdermilk. Minerva took the lead on senior night, scoring three times in the bottom of the first inning. In the fourth, the Warriors scored twice to tie the game at 33. Monica Starre led off the inning with a single and went to second on a pass ball. Sevek doubled with one out to score Starre. Boo Turkovich entered as a pinch runner for Sevek. Destinee Stidom then doubled to score Turkovich.

Minerva took the lead for good in the fifth with a pair of runs. Carrollton tried to come back in the seventh. With two outs, Owens doubled and scored on a single by Lowdermilk. Lowdermilk finished with a pair of doubles and two RBI, while Stidom had a double, single and RBI and Sevek a double and RBI. The Lady Warriors ended their season Friday night at home against Canton South. The Warriors fell to the Wildcats 3-1. Carrollton’s only run came in the fifth inning. Lowdermilk and Metz each had two hits for the Warriors. The Wildcats scored single runs in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings.

Carrollton’s Tanner Owens slides safely into second base against Minerva shortstop Shania Miller.

It was rough last week for Lady Warrior track team In their final regular season dual meet at Louisville last Tuesday, the Carrollton girls track team fell to the Leopards 86-42.

CHS seniors honored at awards assembly Carrollton High School Principal Dave Davis shared the words of the late coach Jim Valvano when addressing the senior class for the last time Friday morning. Davis recalled Valvano’s speech at the 1993 ESPY awards and his advice for leading a happy and productive life. “Every day you must do three things and, if you do these things, you will have an incredible life,” Davis said. “First, you must laugh. Laugh at yourself or laugh with others…just laugh. Second, think. Spend some time each day in thought or prayer by yourself. Third, you need to have your emotions moved to tears. Tears of sadness or happiness…it doesn’t matter. If you can do that…laugh, think and cry, you’ll have had a full day…a heck of a day! And, if you watch his speech on YouTube, you will do all three of those things.” He urged the class members to “never forget what it is like to have the attitude of a little kid.” “Little kids don’t care who is watching,” he told them. “They don’t care about grudges or what happened in the past. Little kids live in the moment.” After playing the video to the song “The Greatest” by Kenny Rogers, the principal pointed out that, even though the little kid struck out in the baseball game, the people who cared about him were cheering. “Those people will always be there to cheer for you,” he said. “And, the moral of the song: the little kid turns his failure into success. Find ways in your life to celebrate your failures like kids do!” Davis became emotional as his comments began to wind down. For the words of W.R. Bell as written in the Carrollton High School Alma Mater, he read….”When the schools of old Ohio; with their learning and their lore, fly their colors to the heavens, Black and White we love you more. For you’ll see the Carrollton High School with its wealth of life’s best joys, In the front ranks proudly standing, telling of its girls and boys.” “These words,” he said, “remind you that your high school will stand behind you and will proudly support and celebrate your accomplishments.” The principal’s voice cracked as he read words from the CARHISEAN: Some will go off to college and some will go straight to work, some will go far away and some will stay close to home, but no matter where we go or what we

do, we will always have “Our Story”…classmates, friends, teammates, Warriors forever. Following is the list of awards presented during the program.

Carrollton board abolishes two positions, awards supplemental contracts, hires cafeteria supervisor By Carol McIntire Editor Although there wasn’t any discussion about placing the failed Carrollton Schools levy on the election ballot in November, it was obvious the levy’s failure was on the minds of school board members and administrators last week. During the school board’s May meeting, two positions were abolished and supplemental contracts were awarded, “pending looking at funding.” Treasurer Roxanne Mazur noted the positions abolished, educational technology specialist and data entry/secretary, will be vacant when the school year ends. Mark Ball is retiring as educational technology specialist and Amy Spears, who was the data entry/secretary, was hired as assistant to the treasurer/budgetary to replace Pamela Murphy, who is resigning. Ball’s retirement is effective Aug. 9 and Murphy’s, June 30. Mazure said the abolishment of the positions will save the district about $91,748 for the technology position and $56,900 for the secretary position per year. The amounts include fringe benefits and costs. After approving 61 supplemental contracts that included coaching positions, club advisors, musical directors and department coordinators, Superintendent Dave Quattrochi noted the contracts are “pending looking at funding and the budget.” “In light of the levy failure, we have to tighten our belts,” Quattrochi said. “Hopefully we can be creative and keep them all.” The contracts, Mazur said, could total $286,820 if all positions are filled. The salaries remain at the same level as last year. Board Member Wendy Gotschall said the levy not passing is not going to get the board down. “We are going to continue to do great things in Carrollton Schools,” she said. “If we have to pull in our purse strings we will do it together and if we have to move on to plan B, we will.” Ed Robinson, director of programs, said by the end of July there will be an auction of elementary school supplies from the Harlem and Willis school buildings and then the two buildings will be sold, saving the district the cost of upkeep and maintenance. IN OTHER business, the board: -HIRED Barbara Burns as a cafeteria consultant effective June 1 at an hourly rate of $26.35 per hour. Burns was given a one-year contract (204 days) as cafeteria supervisor effective July 31 at an annual salary of $43,000. She will no longer receive the hourly wage when the contract becomes effective. She replaces Kitty Weir who is retiring with 27 years of service, including 25 as cafeteria supervisor. Weir retired at a salary of $29,319.04. -RECOGNIZED Lynn and Alice Poplin (husband and wife) who are both retiring from the school district this year. Alice has spent the last 35 years teaching in both Carrollton and Conotton Valley school districts and Lynn has been
