The Carroll County courthouse clock tower lights up in seasonal colors during the evening as workers continue to make repairs on the historic landmark. It was noted white lights will be used 95 percent of the time, but other colors will be used on holidays and special occasions.
Commissioners give update on courthouse clock tower By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent “Wait until it’s finished,” stated Commissioner Bob Wirkner at the Jan. 2 meeting, referring to the clock tower project at the courthouse. Repairs and renovations have been underway for several months. Workers recently removed all of the scaffolding that had surrounded the tower, with the exception of the main ladder used to reach the top. Wirkner said that just because you
don’t see the workers, it doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Wirkner said finish work is still being done inside the tower. The tower will not be completed for about six or eight weeks because they are waiting on the new glass panels that used to decorate the tower. Many years ago, a few broken glass panes were replaced with plywood. Wirkner said he can’t imagine why, except to think that funds must not have been available to make repairs or replacements. Eventually all the glass windows were painted over. Workers were surprised to discover that many of the original
glass panes are still there. Commissioner Jeff Ohler said it was their intention to be historically accurate with the tower renovations. But the new lighting that has been installed certainly wasn’t available in 1885 when the courthouse was built. White lights will be used 95 percent of the time, but they will have the option of lighting it up red, white and blue for July 4, or for other special occasions. In response to comments about the clock being slow and not showing the correct time in recent weeks, commissioners explained that they have to keep shutting off the electric for work
still being done on the clock house tower. When the project is completely done, the time will be correct and will stay that way, according to Wirkner. Commissioners asked that residents please be patient. It will be finished in a few more weeks. In other business commissioners: - ACCEPTED the December monthly report for the Golden Age Retreat with eight males and 32 females in residence. - FILED the Sheriff’s December report with 1,571 meals served and 165 washings done.
- WAS told by Sheriff Dale Williams that the county did have a fatality on SR 171 last week. - LEARNED Carroll County has joined with Columbiana, Harrison, Monroe, Morgan and Union counties in applying for a grant of $160,000. The funds will be divided among the six counties and used for Text to 9-1-1, a service that will enable 911 dispatch centers to receive text messages. - RECEIVED the dog pound report with two impounded, three adopted out, zero redeemed, none destroyed, two citations for having no license and no citations for running at large.

In a special meeting held Friday, Dec. 27, Carroll County Commissioners unanimously approved the 2020 budget for all county departments. “This is my favorite day of the year, when it’s done!” stated Commissioner Jeff Ohler referring to the annual budget. The total budget for 2020 is $34,745,105 with $10,572,812 allocated to the general fund and $24,173,292 for the non-general fund. In comparison to previous years, the 2020 budget is an increase of $5,045,641 over 2018 and an increase of $3,788,128 over 2019. Ohler said that there was an increase for 2020 for the county general fund due to an increase of the employee health insurance. He said there was not a huge increase in any one department. Funding for the county jail is up due to projected costs of over $700,000
for plumbing, lighting and windows, as well as the anticipated cost of about $250,000 to house prisoners elsewhere while work is being completed. The jail was built in 1975, and with the exception of a new roof no other renovations have been done. Many repairs have been made to the jail but in some instances replacement parts must be custom made because they are no longer available. Ohler advised that he expects the jail project to be bid out by the end of February. One other non-regular expense for 2020 will be the need to replace computers and software that will no longer have support or maintenance available at their expiration dates. Employees will receive a three percent raise in 2020, according to Commissioner Bob Wirkner. Wirkner also said that they anticipate about $400,000 to be received in ad valorem taxes from gas and oil wells.

Minerva man killed in Paris Twp. crash By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor A Minerva man was killed Dec. 24 in a three-vehicle crash on U.S. Route 30 in Paris Township, west of Minerva. The Ohio State Highway Patrol reports Joshua D. Hiles, 29, of Minerva, was traveling west on U.S. Route 30 at approximately 9:03 p.m. in a silver 2000 Lincoln Continental when he lost control while negotiating a curve and traveled left of center. Hiles’ car was struck by a 2017 white Ford Explorer, operated by Kenneth M. Diehl, 57, of Minerva, who was traveling east on U.S. Route 30. After the initial impact, Hiles’ car was torn in half and Hiles was ejected. Diehl’s Ford traveled off the
right side of the roadway down an embankment. A gray 2018 Hyundai Sonata, driven by Franklyn H. Brooks, Jr. of Lisbon, was traveling east behind Diehl, when he struck the front half of Hiles’ Lincoln and traveled left of center. The Hyundai then struck Hiles’ body and came to rest on top of him. Hiles, who was not wearing a seatbelt, sustained fatal injuries in the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Stark County Medical Examiner’s Office. Diehl and his passenger were transported to Aultman Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Brooks and his three passengers were treated and released at the scene. The crash remains under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

New, re-elected Malvern officials are sworn in By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
Mayor Bob DeLong and council members Eunice Thompson and Jan Wackerly were given the oath of office by village solicitor Chad Murdock to begin the new year when Malvern Village Council met Jan. 6. DeLong and Thompson were re-elected to their positions in November and Wackerly successfully won the seat vacated by former councilman Tom Holmes. Council members received good financial news from fiscal officer Ashley Neading. “We finished the year exceeding budget projections. We controlled expenses and had a good carry forward in our funds. We are in a good, stable financial position going in to a new year,” stated Neading. Village Administrator Marcus Benson reported that he is still working on paperwork to transfer the former Perfect Products property to the village. The property was in foreclosure but the school and the village had an option to accept the property. The village voiced their interest and the paperwork continues. Council was advised by services superintendent Jamie Shoemaker that the village has a problem they are not used to having in January.

The salt bin is full and another load of salt is due for delivery to the village very soon. It was advised that the village has to accept the next load as part of the contract with ODOT. Very little salt has been needed for village streets and alleys this winter. Usually by now, the village is trying to find more salt because they’ve used more salt than had been anticipated. The mild winter, so far, has not provided a reason for using salt. Village officials will discuss possible storage options. In other business council: - AGREED to pay $38,000 for a 2020 Ford F550 cab and chassis from Sarchione Ford. An additional $28,000 will be needed to install the plow, salt spreader and dump bed. - LEARNED the new excavator has been delivered. - WILL take down the downtown Christmas decorations while the weather is good. - WAS asked when crosswalks are going to be painted. Council advised the weather has to be warm and not cold in order for the paint to dry on the pavement. - APPROVED the standing rules for council. - REMINDED residents they can take their Christmas trees to the tennis courts for disposal. - Rescheduled the next meeting for Wednesday, January 22 at 7 p.m. in village hall, due to a national holiday.

BUDGET from PG. 1 Projects at the County Health Department that were not funded last year will be taken care of this year, according to Ohler. Parking lot repairs as well as installation of an indoor stairway to connect the upper and lower levels will be completed. When the building was constructed, it was leased to two different businesses and a functional stairway between the upper and lower levels was not included.
The cost for improvements to the health department building and parking lot are estimated between $50,000 to $75,000. The internet service contract for the courthouse will be bid out in 2020 as well. Wirkner said the band width will have to be increased. “We were able to pay the 2020 payment for the sheriff department’s radio equipment in 2019. That was a $104,000 payment that won’t have to be
made again,” said Wirkner. Wirkner and Ohler reminisced about years when the budget wasn’t completed for weeks after the new year. Wirkner remembers not being able to receive the anticipated revenue until December 31. Wirkner said four years of catching up with cost of living increases that are due to employees would be taken into consideration when preparing the budget for 2021.
BIGFOOT from PG. 1 2012.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. Daniel J. Daley was born on Long Island, New York on Nov. 11, 1873. He grew to be 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighed barely 130 pounds. Little is known of his formative years except that he worked as a newsboy. He enlisted in the Marine Corps on Jan. 10, 1899, and was assigned to the Asiatic Fleet. In May 1900 he landed with a Marine force at Taku Bay, China, and rode a train to Peking. Shortly after the Marines’ arrival in Peking, the Chinese forces known as Boxers, laid siege to the legation compound they were defending. On July 15, as the siege entered its second month, Daley was atop the Tarter Wall when Boxers stormed his post. He sent his partner for reinforcements and braced himself for the attack. Armed only with his bayonet-tipped rifle, he beat back the Chinese attacks until reinforcements arrived. For his stubborn one-man defense, Daley was awarded the Medal of Honor. Over the years, Daley went on to a variety of international assignments and several tours of sea duty. In October 1915, Daley, by then a gunnery sergeant, found himself in Haiti battling
Caco rebels. While on a six-day patrol deep in the Haitian jungle, Daley and his 40 man Marine patrol were crossing a river when an estimated 400 Cacos hidden in the surrounding jungle opened fire on their patrol. The Marines fought their way to elevated ground a mile away and beat back the unrelenting attack. Since their only machine gun was lost in the river crossing when the Cacos attacked, Daley made his way back to the river alone, dove in, retrieved the weapon and returned it to the Marines position. Under cover of the machine gun, the Marines counter attacked and broke the ambush. For his leadership and daring retrieval of the machine gun, Daley was awarded his second Medal of Honor. Daley again would make a name for himself receiving the Navy Cross for his actions in the battle of Belleau Woods during World War I, in which he was wounded three times. There are many acts of bravery taking place on the battlefields still today that will never be recorded in our history books. Because of them, we remain a free nation. They should not be forgotten. Please keep our Service men and women in your prayers. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

He was also preceded in death by two younger brothers, Jimmy Laubacher & Bobby Laubacher (Vietnam); an infant sister, Delores Ann Laubacher; and a niece, Cindy Bates Laubacher.

Donnie was a 1961 graduate of Malvern High School, a U.S. Army Veteran and an active member of his church, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church of Malvern, where he could often be found in the kitchen frying fish during Lenten Fish Fry season. Dad was a Godly man who adored his dear ‘Barbie’ and their large family. He loved her good home cooking and having fun in life. He was strong, sensitive and caring, always there to help. In addition to Dad’s many interests of hiking, working out, hang-gliding, his convertible, swimming, cutting wood, kayaking, hobby farming, and his latest endeavor of piloting his red gyro-copter over Carroll County, he loved our family gatherings at his country home where he gardened and taught all his grandchildren to swim. He recently initiated and participated in a polar plunge with several grandchildren in his pond in the cold of March. A fond memory is the ornery smile on his face as he would backflip off the rope swing into the pond below. Dad will be sweetly remembered and sadly missed. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

percent. “This was a good year for interest,” stated Yeager. Commissioners and Yeager all remembered the years between 2008 and 2010 when interest rates were so low. It was remembered that one year they didn’t even receive quotes from banks in the county. The banks basically had said they would house our money but not pay us any interest to do so. In other business commissioners: - HELD a second session at 2:30 p.m. to continue with year end business. - RECEIVED the dog pound report with three impounded, four adopted out, two redeemed, none destroyed, one citation for having no license and one citation for running at large.

Three announce candidacy for commissioners, appeals court
Chris Modranski to Robert Wirkner seeks re-election to board run for board seat
Hello, my name is Christopher Modranski and I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and announce that I am running for the Jan. 3 term of County Commissioner. Earlier this fall I learned that Commissioner Mickley would not be seeking re-election to his seat on the Board and after careful consideration and reflection, I have decided this is the perfect time for me to seek the position I’ve wanted for a long time. My candidacy offers a unique opportunity to voters as I am seeking an office in which I have a lot of experience in. My employment with the Commissioners began in 2013 as an assistant clerk and my responsibilities have drastically grown during this time period garnering a promotion to clerk supervisor. Over the last six years I’ve had the opportunity to observe and learn from five different commissioners. These are lessons very few candidates can bring to the table. In December 2018, I was asked to take over Economic Development and have had great success with these additional responsibilities. In a very short time, I have been able to secure multiple grants for the county as well as assist multiple businesses expand their operations and increase their employee population. My plan as a Commissioner is to represent the people of Carroll County the way they deserve. I will work alongside Commissioners Ohler and Wirkner very well to take care of the mandated responsibilities like appropriating a balanced budget, filling procurement needs, appointing members to various boards and commissions, as well as direct oversight to several departments within the county. In addition to that, I will continue my work with business retention and expansion as well as increasing our infrastructure. Another top priority will be making our county more family friendly. Ultimately, we have many needs ranging from safety and healthcare needs to a declining population. I will work tirelessly to move the needle forward in all areas. Prior to being hired in the Commissioners’ office, I served eight years as an emergency dispatcher for Sheriff Dale Williams. I was recently elected to my second term as a councilman to the Village of Carrollton and previously served two terms as a councilman for the Village of Dellroy. I am a life-long Carroll County resident and reside in Carrollton with my wife, Angela, and our three children, Gracen (9), Savanna (7) and Luke (7). I look forward to representing the people of Carroll County and wish for your support. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to call me at 330-205-1639 or email me at cmodranski@gmail.com. You can follow me on Facebook at Chris Modranski for Carroll County Commissioner. Thank you, Christopher Modranski
Carol Ann Robb files for re-election to court
Seventh District Court of Appeals Judge Carol Ann Robb has filed for re-election. In addition to filing petitions with nearly three times the necessary number of signatures, Robb also announced the bi-partisan endorsements of seven county sheriffs. Sheriffs Fred Abdalla of Jefferson County, Jerry Greene of Mahoning County, David Lucas of Belmont County, Ronald Myers of Harrison County, Robert Pickenpaugh of Noble County, Ray Stone of Columbiana County and Dale Williams of Carroll County endorsed Robb for re-election. Robb said that she has worked hard to represent the people during her time on the court and looks forward to continuing that service. “Sadly, appeals court judges sometimes go under the radar, but I’ve worked hard to represent the people as a judge and also to improve outreach and education as opportunities presented themselves,” Robb said. “I’m proud of my record and I look forward to sharing that with voters and extending my service on the court,” she added. Robb also announced a finance committee of 29 people to help raise funds for her campaign. “I’m honored that 29 people have agreed to serve my campaign in this way,” Robb said. “It means that we’ll have the means to run a good campaign and it means I can focus on the most important thing – meeting voters and sharing my record of service.” Robb also announced a personal commitment of $150,000 to the campaign. Robb said she’d work hard over the next 12 months to meet with voters. “This is a big district running from Youngstown to Woodsfield and it’ll be a busy year maintaining my docket while also traveling the nearly 150-mile long district,” Robb said. “I’ve already begun the process and look forward to maintaining a rigorous schedule across the eight counties that make up the Seventh District Court of Appeals,” she said.

Today I wish to announce my candidacy for re-election to the Board of County Commissioners Jan. 2 term, share a few thoughts with you why the right choice for Commissioner is important, and provide a bit of insight on how my decisions are arrived at. County Commissioner duties are well defined by statute. The difference between a truly effective Commissioner and one that is technically competent goes beyond diligence to statute-imposed duties. As leaders for Carroll County, opportunities are continually available to better fulfill basic needs and improve the quality of life for our people, providing there is the will and expertise to pursue them. The formula for a healthy thriving community will not be found in any statute. Statutes provide a level playing field, but it is the will of the people that makes a difference. People who share a strong sense of community, give back - not just take, do more than is expected, seize opportunities to contribute, promote the greater good and accept prospects to serve and contribute to a strong community. I believe our leaders should possess these traits. We are blessed that in Carroll County we have a large percentage of our population that do share these traits. Having accepted the duties and leadership challenges that come with serving as one of your Commissioners, part of my strategy for achieving goals is diligence to duty while supporting policies, programs and infrastructure that advance three basic core elements. The core elements of Health, Safety, and Commerce may shift in order of importance given your personal situation, however, whatever your personal situation may be, furtherance of these core elements help Carroll County become a more desirable place to live, work and raise families. Professionally and effectively serving the people of Carroll County is an honor and a privilege possible only because of your support. With your support I will continue to serve you on the Carroll County Board of Commissioners Jan. 2 term. Thank you, Robert E. Wirkner
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: Even as the winter sports have not reached their halfway point, it is time to think about spring sports. Some of you may not know that baseball and softball seasons actually start in less than three months. As some of you know, there is a shortage of officials. It is to a point that some lower level games might not be played because there are not enough umpires to cover the games. As of last season, some junior varsity and freshmen games only had one umpire. If the number of officials continue to drop, these lower levels won’t be able to be covered. The number of officials is dropping for a number of reasons, some because they just can’t personally keep up with the younger players, others because of work conflicts and still others unfortunately have passed away. This is used as an introduction as to the real reason for this letter. The need for trained officials is at an all-time high. If you or someone you know enjoys baseball or softball and could help to let these student athletes play their games, there will be a school for new umpires starting in early February. For more information, contact Duane Ulman at 330-738-2205 after 5 p.m. or text at 330-932-9850. I can also be reached by e-mail at duaneulman58@gmail.com. I hope to see some of you on the fields this spring and summer. Sincerely, Duane Ulman Salineville

Members of Southern Local High School’s Art and Science Club have been combining skills from both subjects for fun projects such as making homemade ice cream. Among those pictured with their creations are Landon Vincent, Trenton Humphreys, Collin Hiney, Alyssa Baker, Kaitlynn Baker, Haylee Manley and Riley Collins.
Southern Local High School creates Art and Science Club Art and science students are combining their skills in a new organization formed this year at Southern Local High School. The Art and Science Club has been active since September and currently yields about 15 members in grades 9-12. Co-advisors Marylou Taylor and Laurie Ronshak said it was a relatively simple union and both subjects already interact with each other. “We are combining our efforts because kids wanted to be in both clubs,” said Taylor. “We figured there already was art in science and so much science in art. We decided to put it together and found it to work well.
We’re trying to make projects where students don’t have to be good in art or savvy in science,” she added. Since its inception, the group has met each Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. and completed a variety of projects such as making homemade ice cream, salt dough ornaments, bath products and candles. The club has also been holding fundraisers including Boo-Grams at Halloween and may have another event in February to benefit a field trip activity at the end of the year. “We both have small groups and decided to come together
to make it one,” added Ronshak. “We’ve made ice cream, tie-dyed shirts and had Halloween and Christmas parties, plus we did a combined fundraiser. We plan on continuing things that incorporate science and art together [in our projects] and our members have given input. We hope to do chromatography with flowers, hot air balloons and maybe some tie dye or silkscreen.” Freshman Trenton Humphreys said he likes the new format. “It’s fun. We do fun things like crafts and salt dough dipped in wax to preserve them. I am learning a lot,” he said.

CHS wrestlers take down Alliance Aviators 40-30 CARROLLTON - The Carrollton Warriors wrestling team improved to 20 on the season in the Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) with a 40-30 win over Alliance. The Aviators took a 6-0 lead after winning the opening match (170 lbs.) by pin. Carrollton senior Alex Carrothers (182 lbs.) defeated his opponent by a score of 13-0 for a major decision win. Carrollton trailed 6-4 two matches in. Alliance jumped out to an early 18-4 lead following a pair of pins at 195 and 220 lbs. Carrollton’s JT Richardson kept the dual close with a big pin in the heavy weight match, earning the victory with :15 remaining in the first period. Brody Wade won the 106-lb. match by pin and the Warriors were back in it, down only two points (18-16). The Aviators won the next two matches, extending their lead to 27-16. Carrollton turned on the jets down the stretch, winning five of the six matches of the night against Alliance. Carrollton junior Brandon Brown (126 lbs.) pinned his opponent in just
a mere :49. Robbie Hoopes won his match with a 7-1 decision to cut Alliance’s lead to 27-25. Carrollton took their first lead of the night when sophomore Dom Speelman pinned his wrestler late in the first round of the 138-lb. match. The Warriors now led 31-27. The match of the night came at 145 lbs. Carrollton senior Nate Blake found himself in a gritty battle. A win increases the odds of Carrollton winning, but with a loss, the Aviators are still very much in the battle. Down two points as the final seconds ticked off the clock of the third period of the match, Blake was able to earn a reversal to tie the match at 7-7, forcing overtime at 145 lbs. Neither of the wrestlers could take the other down in the first period of overtime, so it came down to the ride out and Blake finished the match victorious, giving the Warriors a 34-27 lead. Evan Lewis, Carrollton’s 152-lb. wrestler, pinned his wrestler in the second period to seal the victory for the
Warriors, giving them an unreachable lead at 40-27. Alliance won the final match of the night by a 10-4 decision. “What an exciting match for our team,” Carrollton’s Coach Ken Pasiuk said following the team’s victory. “That was just an awesome environment for our wrestlers to be in.” Coach Pasiuk spoke on the determination of his team. “Our wrestlers stepped it up and beat a really tough Alliance team,” he said. “Coach Shaw is a great coach and has my utmost respect. He always brings a competitive team to wrestle us. We know it’s going to be a battle and we have to wrestle our best to beat them.” Coach Pasiuk says the energy in the gym was phenomenal, especially when Blake won his overtime match. “Our Carrollton Warriors fans are amazing,” said Pasiuk. “It’s the first time in our new gymnasium that we heard the fans erupt.” With the win, the Warriors are now 12-3 overall and 2-0 in the league. Action resumes Thursday, Dec. 9 at West Branch.

Warriors remain lone unbeaten team in EBC play
Birong scores a career-high 16 in win over Canton South
Carrollton senior Jimmy Birong scores a layup for the Warriors in a win against the Canton South Wildcats. Birong finished with a career-high 16 points.
CANTON SOUTH – It was another victorious night on the road for the Carrollton Warriors boys basketball team. The Warriors claimed a 43-33 win Friday, Jan. 3 over the Canton South Wildcats to remain unbeaten at 3-0 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference. Carrollton snapped the four-game winning streak the Wildcats were riding. Carrollton senior Adam Chaney saw early foul trouble, being hit with two fouls in the first quarter, forcing him to the bench for most of the first half. With Chaney’s production limited in the first half, it called for another player to step into the main role. Fellow senior teammate Jimmy Birong did just that. Birong was all over the floor on defense and offense, leading the team with nine points at halftime – he finished the game with a career-high 16 points, 12 rebounds and four
steals. “Jimmy really was a whirlwind on the boards and on defense. He came up huge,” Carrollton head coach Mike Aukerman said. “He had a career-high 16 points and really kept us in the game in the first half.” The Warriors trailed 9-8 after the first quarter, but turned it up in the second quarter, scoring 12 points. Carrollton took a 20-17 lead into halftime. The quarter that set the Warriors apart was the third. Carrollton scored 13 points and shut down the Wildcats’ offense, allowing them only one free throw late in the third quarter for their only point of the quarter. “The second half was truly a team effort as we played tremendous defense, took care of the ball and shared the basketball to get easy looks,” Coach Aukerman said about the play from his team late in the
game. “It was a big win for us, but we need to continue to build off of it and be ready Tuesday for Salem at home. We hope to see a big crowd for our boys.” The Warriors defense came up big, recording two blocks, six steals and nine deflections. Despite the early foul trouble, Chaney finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. He even took a charge. Carrollton senior Brady Benner scored six points for the Warriors. He also finished with two rebounds and a pair of assists. “Very proud of the boys and the way they approached the game,” Coach Aukerman said following the victory. “Our mindset and focus prepared us for a victory against a very good team, in their gym, that was on a four-game winning streak.” The Warriors are now 5-3 overall on the season.

Malvern’s Peer Partners Program creates network for students with disabilities Five years ago, the Peer Partners Program at Malvern High School was established by Intervention Specialist, Katie Spencer, and has continued to grow and expand. Mrs. Spencer teaches the 6th-12th grade self-contained MH classroom and created Peer Partners to develop a peer network for students with disabilities and their peers at Malvern High School. Peer partners are partnerships formed for a student with a disability and a student in regular education in order to foster friendships and social participation in and out of school. The program began with peer partners participating in one event, Exceptional Olympics, at the end of the school year; however, the program gained interest by all students involved and grew from there.
Currently, due to the number of students participating, the program is facilitated by Mrs. Spencer and Miss Wittwer, an English teacher at Malvern High School. Every year the program gets bigger and bigger with more students wanting to join in the fun! This year the students will participate in several enjoyable, shared activities throughout the year. They have already participated in a team-building day in November, will also attend a Winter Wonderland fun day, a Canton Charge game together, and will end the year with everyone’s favorite event - the Exceptional Olympics at Perry High School. The students (seen above) also look for additional opportunities to connect with one another at other times of the school year to build relationships and a sense of belonging.
Conotton Valley offers new courses at high school Lots of exciting things are happening at Conotton Valley schools. One of the things Principal Danielle Caldwell is most proud of at the High School level are some of our new course offerings with Forensics, Journalism and an expansion of Project Lead the Way. “We are excited to offer these new opportunities for our students. We have welcomed several new staff members this year, and they have been a great addition to our team,” Caldwell said. With our focus on growing the whole child we are using the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People along with our Conotton Valley Core Values tied with some fun activities. We have held door-decorating
contests and tied our student recognition to these ideas with a Leader of the Month, she explained. “We choose a Leader each month from Pre-School, Kindergarten through second grade, third through fifth grade, sixth through eighth grade, and ninth through twelfth grade. These students are recognized and get to have doughnuts with the principals. At the end of the year, we are planning to have a get together of all of the year’s winners along with their families,’ she said. “This has been a great opportunity to reward students who consistently work hard, make good choices, and demonstrate leadership skills,” she added. “The week before Thanksgiv-
ing our elementary and middle school/high school completed a Week of Kindness where students brought in items for different charities. Items were collected for the food pantry in Sherrodsville, Toys for Tots and the Humane Society. Our students made cards and wreaths for local nursing homes and donated socks to the homeless shelter. Our kids jumped at the opportunity to help others, the principal stated. “Students are working hard in class and charting their progress as we work each day to be better than the day before. We are eagerly awaiting the groundbreaking on the new Rocket Center and all of the opportunities that will allow for our students and community,” Caldwell commented.
Sensory area created at SLES Students at Southern Local Elementary School now have a place of tranquility to help them concentrate in the classroom. Fourth-grade intervention specialist Jessica Coleman established a sensory area and calm down corner last year and is expanding the site with funding from a $600 Best Practice Grant through the Jefferson County Educational Service Center. Coleman said the site is open to all elementary students and offers room for some respite when dealing with emotions, behaviors and regulation. The goal is to help them return to
class so they can complete their studies without further distraction. “I began at the end of the [school] year and worked on it through the summer,” she said. “I felt like we had kids with some behavioral issues and they needed somewhere to calm down so they could return to class,” Coleman said. A section of the resource room has been designated as a calmdown corner and features soft lighting, pillows, a “choices” wall with techniques to help relax them, as well as fidget items, stress balls, books, coloring pages, Play Doh, puzzles and more.
The JCESC mini-grant has helped her procure a weighted blanket and soothing LED projection light, plus she plans to add bean bag chairs and sensory pads to make the corner more comfortable. Coleman also has a portable “Chill Zone” to use in the classroom and said either space could be used for preschoolers to sixthgrade students. She said calm down areas can also be used for students who need scheduled breaks, social or emotional specifically designed instruction or who benefit from check-ins throughout the day. “It has been used and the kids love it,” Coleman said.

Ohio EMA releases toolkit for churches PSALM 73 In this Psalm, I see a statement of faith, temptation, sin, doubt, renewal and faith restored. A STATEMENT OF FAITH PSALM 73:1 “Surely God is good…” Genesis 1:26 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image and in our likeness…” Genesis 1:31 “God saw all that He had made and it was very good.” Matthew 6:9 “….Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” II Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” II Peter 1:21 “For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” FACING TEMPTATION AND BEING DRAWN TO DOUBT GOD’S EVERLASTING CARE AND LOVE FOR EACH OF US PSALM 73:2 “But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.” II Samuel 7:28 “O Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant.” John 17:17 “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” Romans 7:22-25 “For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” I Corinthians 2:5 “So that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.” A STATEMENT OF SIN
PSALM 73:3 “For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.” As we look at our own sin, we have lied, we have committed adultery with our eyes, we consider ourselves better than others, we have unforgiveness against our brothers, we are greedy, we have unresolved sin in our lives, we find ourselves too busy for God, and we think we can run our own lives. We feel our sins are too great for God to forgive. Matthew 24:12-13 “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.” II Timothy 3:12-13 “In fact everyone who wants to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” II Peter 2:20 “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were in the beginning.” A STATEMENT OF DOUBT PSALM 73:11 “They say, how can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?” Genesis 3:8-11 “Then the man (Adam) and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as He was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” Then the Lord said, “Who told you that you were naked: Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” Hosea 10:12 “Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until He comes and showers righteousness on you.” Matthew 5:20 “For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 12:35-37 “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out
of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned.” Luke 16:15 Jesus said, “You were the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God’s sight.” Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Revelation 19:6 “…. Hallelujah for our Lord God Almighty reigns, ….” A STATEMENT OF RENEWAL PSALM 73:16-17 “When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.” Psalm 4:8 “I will lie down in peace, for you alone, Oh Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Isaiah 26:3-4 “You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because He trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the rock eternal.” A STATEMENT OF FAITH RESTORED PSALM 73:23-28 “Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.” John 1:12 “Yet to all who receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” Acts 16: 30-31 “He then brought them out and asked, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ Paul and Silas replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved – you and your household.” Pastor Harold Barber Greenbrier Church

As part of Governor Mike DeWine’s STRONG Ohio initiative, the Ohio Emergency Management Agency is releasing its “Houses of Worship: Targeted Disruption” tabletop exercise toolkit. The toolkit is designed to help all houses of worship prepare for active aggressors at their location. “Ohioans should feel comfortable and safe when they gather to worship,” said Governor Mike DeWine. “As attacks on houses of worship continue to escalate, it is incumbent on our religious institutions to be prepared.” “Ohio runs the gamut from mega churches and large synagogues to small country churches,” said Ohio EMA Executive Director Sima Merick. “This all-inclusive exercise toolkit gives them everything they need to sit down and have a healthy, detailed discussion about how to protect their congregation.” Recently in Texas another deadly attack of houses of worship occurred. The attack on a Baptist congregation in Sutherland, Texas in 2017 killed 26 and is one of the deadliest mass shootings in United States history. Less than a year later, a
gunman killed eleven at a Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, it appears that more houses of worship are being targeted and the number of those killed and wounded are increasing. Because of this, there is an increasing need for these facilities, which are perceived as “soft targets,” to take measures to protect themselves. This toolkit was developed to provide a free product for those communities to better prepare staff, worshippers, first responders, and other partners to plan for and respond to such incidents. The Houses of Worship: Targeted Disruption Toolkit will provide all of the information and materials needed to easily plan for and host a tabletop exercise. Ohio EMA’s three previous toolkits Mall Active Shooter, Business Continuity: Disaster in the Workplace, and the Higher Education Active Aggressor Tabletop Exercise Toolkit have been downloaded a combined total of nearly 700 times in 42 states and nine countries. These toolkits are available on the Ohio EMA website: https:// ema.ohio.gov/Exercise_TableTop_Toolkit.aspx.

Buckeye Career Center offers adult, as well as student, welding program Serving the community by empowering people is part of the mission of Buckeye Career Center (BCC), a career and technical education center in New Philadelphia. The school provides training for high school and adult students in three primary counties, (including Carroll County) offering over 30 high school programs, nine full-time adult programs and numerous parttime adult programs. One of the successful high school programs is welding, with 21 of 24 senior students or (88%) in 2018 achieving fulltime employment in the welding industry upon graduation. Many of these students earned certifications in NCCER Core, NCCER Level 1, OSHA 10, and CPR First Aid, but in 2018, BCC officials realized the adult community was lacking welding opportu-
nities in the immediate area. “Being that we have always had a strong high school welding program and years of success with part-time adult welding courses, after speaking with our local manufacturers, we believed the time was right to push forward and establish a full-time welding program that leads to several in-demand industry credentials,” explained Frank Polen, BCC Director of Adult Education. With the support of local companies like Gradall Industries in New Philadelphia, the Welding Technology program for adults was born in the fall of 2019. Creating the program took months of research and assistance from similar institutions from across the state. “We were in contact with other Ohio career centers. They helped us expand on our existing part-time offering in order
to have both part-time and full-time welding options,” Polen said. Eight students are currently enrolled in the nine-month program, but that number fails to reflect the number of students who are benefiting from the course in fewer months. “This program is customizable for each student and his/ her educational needs,” Polen said. The course is taught in modules, allowing those who may need a specific certification or training advancement the opportunity to only attend during the times that lesson is being taught. “We have many certified welders calling to enroll who just need a specific certification and not the entire class,” he said. Adult Welding Technology students are capable of earning AWS, SMAW, GMAW,
GTAW, and FCAW certifications. “The opportunity for credentials such as AWS, combined with the ability for potential students to acquire funding through the Pell Grant has made the opportunity attractive to many as we look to grow annually,” Polen said. The full-time adult course operates four nights a week. Students are in the classroom one night while the remaining weeknights are spent in the lab. Course curriculum includes math, blueprint reading, computer aided design, OSHA 10 training, and robotics. The first BCC Adult Education Welding Technology class will graduate in May 2020. The course is taught by Marvin Meneffee. For more information about BCC’s Welding Technology program, call 330339-2288 or visit www.BuckeyeCareerCenter.org.
