Our world turned upside down COVID-19 causes school, business and election closures as residents hunker down By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor In one week, everyone’s world changed because of the outbreak of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus). On March 9, Ohio Department of Health Officials were reporting their first cases of the pneumonia-like virus. By March 17, Ohio had 67 cases, including three in Stark County and one in Tuscarawas County. Symptoms, which generally appear two to 14 days after exposure, include fever, cough and difficulty breathing. In response to the upswing in cases, Governor Mike DeWine announced March 11 Ohio schools would be closed for three weeks, starting March 16. The news left district officials scram-
bling on how to offer remote access learning and how to feed those students breakfast and lunch. Area schools cancelled all student programs, including musicals, and sports. By March 17, schools had plans in place to provide meals (see story below). Colleges and universities have closed and have sent the students home where they will attend online classes. DeWine also prohibited mass gatherings of more than 100, which was reduced later by the Centers for Disease Control to 50 and President Donald Trump to 10. DeWine announced March 15 the closure of all bars and restaurants, allowing restaurants only to offer carryout meals. A list of restaurants offer carryout may be found on page 3. Area nursing homes are closed to visitors. People are encouraged to lift the

Only six packages of toilet paper were on the shelf Tuesday afternoon at Carrollton’s Discount Drug Mart. Those packages were gone within minutes after this picture was taken. Area residents, like people through the country, were on the hunt for toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies as states began reporting people testing positive for COVID-19.
residents’ spirits by sending cards. Last week residents hit the stores looking for the “essentials” - toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies. Those items are still hot commodities this week with Discount Drug Mart and Dollar General’s new supply of toilet paper disappearing within hours. Residents are encouraged to stay home, practice social distancing (staying at least six feet from another person) and to wash their hands. As Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton explained last week, “On the front end of a pandemic, you are an alarmist. At the back end, you didn’t do enough.” Carroll County Health Department Administrator Amy Campbell stressed that hand washing is the one of the important things people can do to combat the disease because the soap and water kills the germs that cause the disease. She noted hand sanitizer should only be used when people are out in public. Campbell also explained that “social distancing” is being used to slow down the spread of the disease, which will enable area hospitals the ability to provide care without stressing the system. Social distancing is especially important for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems, Campbell explained as they are at a greater risk for the disease. The FPS is committed to giving you information as accurately and as quickly as it can. The staff will update its Facebook page with any notices or changes as they are announced by government officials. The staff are also listing any cancellations or postponements as they come in. For more information or for questions about the Coronavirus/COVID-19, residents are encouraged to see coronavirus.ohio.gov or call 1-833-4-ASKODH.

Ohio Farm Bureau County Presidents’ Trip
Day One: Setting the Stage By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor
The Ohio Farm Bureau’s annual county presidents’ trip to Washington, D.C. was held as scheduled March 10-12. As this year’s local media representative, I had been given an outline of what to expect by colleagues who had attended previous events. Basically, I was told to expect a three-day whirlwind of speeches, meetings and briefings, interspersed with social activities, all designed to give Farm Bureau members a forum to discuss specific issues and concerns with their counterparts across the state and with legislators. An unexpected difference this year was a call from Dan Kirk, president of the Carroll County Farm Bureau, the evening before our flight, offering me the option to back out due to growing alarm over the spread of COVID-19. He said he was “all in” on going, but would understand if I wasn’t. The truth is, the thought had crossed my mind. I’m in the age range where the virus has done the most harm. Should I stay home? Would the risk of catching the virus be significantly higher if I went? So many questions, so little time to ponder; nevertheless, I said, “So am I.” Despite overcast skies and a slight drizzle, the walking tour of the Franklin D. Roosevelt and Martin Luther King,

Jr. memorial sites upon arrival in our nation’s capital was refreshing after an early morning drive to the Pittsburgh airport followed by a bus ride from the Baltimore airport. After the tour, we assembled at our hotel for opening remarks from Michael Sistak, director of Grassroots Program Development for the American Farm Bureau. Noting that nearly 50 percent of Americans are now living in 39 major metropolitan areas, Sistak said fewer legislators have the direct connections to farm life that were common throughout the 1900s, when the rural population was higher. Still, he said, the Farm Bureau has “a lot of rural clout” in shaping legislative priorities. Sistak used “Advo-Cats” as an example. The advocacy program was started at the University of Arizona when few rural communities were left in the state and there was no concentrated effort to engage the attention of advocates. From an early coalition of alumni, staff and students, the group then engaged parents, civic and business groups, and agriculture-based organizations including the Arizona Cattlemen’s Association, building a 2000-person base that conducted weekly “Wildcat Wednesday” advocacy events. Their efforts paid off in 2016, when the state legislature agreed to provide $16 million in funding for the state’s first veterinary school. Frank Burkett III of Massillon, president of the Ohio Farm Bureau, contin-

ued the theme of starting at the grassroots level of building relationships by sharing farming experiences in order to attract new members and ensure the sustainability of the organization. Burkett said 2019 had been a “good year” due to loosening regulations in the Clean Water Act and the signing of the USMCA free trade agreement. He also touched on the action plan the organization is developing to ensure “continuity of operations” as employees are asked to work from home during the COVID-19 public health crisis. Dr. John Newton, AFB’s chief economist, painted a mixed picture of highs and lows. Noting the country is in the “eighth year of a down farm economy,” and commenting on the effects of tariffs, fluctuating trade figures with China and Japan, and the current estimate of $425 billion in real estate debt, Newton also said that “low interest rates have been consequential in helping farmers.” Newton predicted the demand for soybeans would reach a record high in 2020, and expects prices to be slightly higher for most commodities, with the exception of corn. Hog production is expected to break records; the cattle supply is expected to come down while beef consumption is

When many residents when to bed Monday, March 16, they were not sure if they would be heading to the polls to vote or not. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced Monday afternoon they wanted to postpone Ohio’s primary election until June 2, citing the necessity to protect the health and safety of Ohio’s voters and pollworkers in wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. After a Franklin County judge rejected LaRose’s lawsuit to postpone the election late Monday, DeWine and LaRose issued the following statement,, “The only thing more important than a free and fair election is the health and safety of Ohioans. The Ohio Department of Health and the CDC have advised against anyone gathering in groups larger than 50 people, which will occur if the election goes forward. Additionally, Ohioans over 65 and those with certain health conditions have been advised to limit their nonessential contact with others, affecting their ability to vote or serve as poll workers. Logistically, under these extraordinary circumstances, it simply isn’t possible to hold an election tomorrow that will be considered legitimate by Ohioans. They mustn’t be forced to choose between their health and exercising their constitutional rights.” At around 10 p.m., Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton ordered the polls closed on Tuesday, March 17, citing Revised Code 3701.13 to “make special orders ...for preventing the spread of contagious or infectious diseases.” “I make this order to avoid the imminent threat with a high probability of widespread expose to COVID-19 with a significant risk of substantial harm to a large number of the people in the general population, including the elderly and people with weakened immune systems and chronic medical conditions. Further, it is clear from history and experience that large number of people gather at polling locations which increases the risk of transmission of COVID-19,” she stated. On Tuesday, LaRose was asking the Ohio Legislature to change the primary election date to June 2. The board of elections were to stay open Tuesday to receive any absentee ballots through 7:30 p.m., but were prohibited from tabulating and reporting any results until the close of polls on June 2. According to the directive, voters who have not already votes may request absentee ballots from their local board of elections or by printing a request from their website, www.carrollcountyohioelections.gov. Government officials are recommending voters to use the absentee ballot instead of going to the polls because of the threat of COVID-19. These directives may change as this emergency progresses.

Carroll County Commissioners received the most recent updates on the coronavirus situation during their meetings on March 12 and March 15. Carroll County Health Department Director of Nursing Kelly Englehart, Emergency Management Agency Director Tom Cottis and Health Department Administrator Amy Campbell provided the latest information regarding the risk and threat of the COVID-19 virus. Englehart said that the health department is aware of every directive coming from the state Health Department. On Thursday, Englehart reported that four cases have been confirmed in Ohio including one in Stark County, that appears to be a case of community transmission because the man had not left the area recently. “There will be a lot of cancellations in the next week or so. They are still trying to determine the life of the virus on surfaces, respiratory droplet infections and other risks,” stated Englehart. “Handwashing and keeping your ‘social distance’ is still the best plan we have,” said Englehart. Social distancing
means avoiding crowds and keeping yourself about six feet from other people. The board was told the people most at risk for serious infection are the elderly or those with heart or lung issues. The infection is generally milder for children. Cottis said that there are many levels to announcements and orders that are being issued by federal, state, and local authorities. “This virus is showing to be twice as communicable as the flu. We are trying to protect lives. We are trying to secure the health care system,” said Englehart. Englehart again emphasized that proper hand washing and hygiene, along with self-isolation, is still the best way to protect yourself. In other business commissioners: - APPROVED a contract with Jon Stewart Excavating of Cadiz for $15,300 for installation of one septic system on Kensington Road. - PLACED on file the monthly report from the Child Support Enforcement Agency. - RECEIVED the dog pound report for the week of March 8, showing eight impounded, one adopted out, three redeemed, zero destroyed, one citation issued for no license and no citations issued for running at large.

Commissioners to broadcast meetings
In response to the current public health emergency, the Minerva Public Library Board of Trustees has authorized Director Tom Dille to close the library building to the public until April 6.

Dellroy council appoints existing clerk to serve as interim clerk By JACQUIE HUMPHREY
FPS Correspondent At the March 9 meeting of the Dellroy Village Council, Solicitor Jenna Hokes advised that due to rules in the Ohio Basic Code, the position of clerk, an elected position, could not be changed to that of fiscal officer, a hired position, at the current time. Hokes explained that there is a requirement to make such changes at least 120 days prior to a general election, and that council may proceed with making the change from clerk to fiscal officer, via ordinance, after the next election. Clerk Candice Ruby reminded council that her current term expires March 31, and Council President Joe Mabie inquired of Hokes what the village is to do in the meantime, providing that no one ran for clerk in the 2019 election. Hokes advised that a clerk may be appointed by the mayor and approved by council. Council discussed with Ruby
her intention to remain in the position and inquired if she plans to run in this November’s election. Ruby explained that she has resolved the personal matter that kept her from running in the 2019 election, that she will accept appointment to the interim position and that she does plan to run for clerk in the 2020 election. Council approved Ruby’s appointment to the position of clerk, from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. In other business, Mayor Doug Ruby advised that he had obtained estimates for sealing streets in the village. The lowest estimate came from Tucson at $4,050. Councilman Jeff Hanshaw inquired if this cost provided for filling of holes prior to sealing and was advised that it does not. Council discussed and agreed to add an additional $500 to the Tucson estimate, making the total approved $4,505 for the necessary repair work. In other action council: - Heard the third reading of Ordinance #01-2020, perma-
nent appropriations for 2020 totaling $100,615 and approved unanimously. - Approved Resolution #022020 for placement of renewal current expenses levy on the November ballot. - Heard fund balances as follows: $54,638.78 in the general fund; $16,679.67 in the street fund; $3,087.44 in the State Highway fund; and $0.11 in the Fire Protection fund. - Heard receipts of the Community Building reported at $300, with expenses of $411.99. - Learned that a traffic study would have to be done prior to changing the village traffic light to a four way stop and took no action. - Set committee assignments for 2020. - Distributed fraud reporting forms to all village officials and employees. - Learned that there will be an Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 11 at 2 p.m. at Monroe Township Park. - Set the next meeting for Monday, April 13 at 7 p.m. in Village Hall.
Leesville council discuss proposed lease agreement with Encino Energy By JACQUIE HUMPHREY
FPS Correspondent At the March 10 meeting of Leesville Village Council, Encino Energy representative Lance Jones discussed a proposed lease agreement with the village. Jones explained that the parcel of interest was approximately 1 acre and that the lease agreement would net the village about $1,900 as presently written. Jones provided copies of the lease for review. Solicitor Jenna Hokes advised that she had reviewed the lease prior to the meeting and inquired if the royalty part of the agreement could be changed to “gross” instead of “net”. Jones confirmed that he could request this change prior to the village signing off on the agreement but that the percentage would most likely be reduced from 15% to 12%. After Jones left the meeting Hokes explained to council that gross royalties did not have production costs deducted before reimbursement, where net
royalties would. Hokes advised that there are also a couple of standard clauses that she would like to have added to the agreement, including the governing of water testing. After a discussion, council approved Hokes to negotiate with Encino on the village’s behalf and present the amended agreement to council at the April meeting for review and approval. In other discussion, Mayor John Traxler reported to council that there had been an issue with the wastewater system at Conotton Valley school recently, causing school to be cancelled for one day. Traxler told council that there was a sewage clog in a T-line that needs to be resolved. Traxler also said that he would like to review the school’s utility rates with the village before the construction of the Rocket Center is complete. In other action council: - Learned that Workman Construction will be contacted to complete additional sewage projects in the village. - Approved the expenditure of
$1,500 for a Simplicity mower for the village. - Learned that the village will wait to obtain hot mix to repair streets in alleys for a more permanent repair than the cold patch that is now available. - Heard an update of ongoing projects from employee Skip Bernhart. - Heard Traxler report that he had obtained a new map of the village and asked Bernhart to begin marking existing catch basins. - Discussed delinquent utility accounts and explored options for residents to get them current. - Was reminded that the village’s sewer bill is $44 per month, due on the 20th of each month, with a late fee applied after the 25th. - Discussed a utility rate increase of $1 per month, to go into effect January of 2021, as this increase has been waived for the past 2 years. - Set the next regular meeting of the Leesville Village Council for Tuesday, April 14 at 7 p.m. in the Village Hall.
Airport board moves forward with tree removal agreements By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent The Carroll County Airport Authority Board met in special session Monday, March 16, to discuss the trees along the approach to the runway. Former board member Karen Carlisle asked for the special meeting because she had been contacted by airport consultant Lance Wanamaker of Michael Baker International regarding a grant application that could
be submitted to the Ohio Department of Transportation for funds to remove trees obstructing the flight path at the airport. Airport officials were notified in December 2014, that the Federal Aviation Administration had inspected the flight path to the airport runway and found that trees were blocking the visual flight path. According to the FAA, although the trees are on private property, they must be cut to the ground and the stumps removed. Airport officials have met with property owners requesting
permission to remove the trees marked by the FAA but have not obtained getting any signed agreements. Board members John Cross, Dave Fitzgerald, Sonny Fitzsimmons and Larry Hawkins, Jr. gave their approval to permit Cross or Hawkins to sign agreements reached with property owners. The board’s attorney, John Wirtz, said the contract has been prepared but needs a few minor adjustments before board members meet with property owners.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. Those who lived through World War II witnessed the mightiest struggle the world has ever known. The war was raged by dictators against the democracies in which tyranny and despotism threatened to destroy civilization throughout the world. Germany, under Hitler’s Nazi regime, started the war during September 1939. By March of 1945 fate had turned against Germany and Hitler’s Nazi regime. For the first time in 140 years – since the great days of Napoleon – a hostile invader crossed the Rhine River in Germany. German troops in 1918 (World War I) had surrendered on foreign soil. German cities had barley been touched by war. This was not to be the case again. More than four million troops were fighting in the Allied armies on the western front. Three million were Americans. The rest were British, Canadians, Irish, Scots, Frenchmen,
Poles, Belgians, Czechs, Netherlands and sons of all the United Nations. Every race and nation was represented. Among them were German and Austrians fighting in the armies of the Democracies against the Nazi Fascist scourge. The Allies took a total of 100,000 prisoners in the 35-day drive to the Rhine River. Once the Allies crossed the Rhine, the world began to look in anticipation for the Nazis to surrender and for civilization to be saved again in that area of the world. March became the month of hope. Churches held prayer vigils all over the United States and Europe. We should never forget the sacrifices made for our freedom. Every time you see our Stars and Strips fluttering in the breeze, it should be a reminder that all gave some, but many gave all so that we might be free.

Catholic bishops suspend masses/liturgies After serious consideration of the grave health risk in public gatherings and in order to curb the spread of the Coronavirus, the bishops of Ohio have decided, effectively immediately, to suspend temporarily all publicly celebrated Masses/liturgies, at least through the celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
The bishops of Ohio dispense the Catholic faithful who reside in their respective diocese and all other Catholics currently in Ohio from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass through Easter Sunday. On March 12, Governor Mike DeWine issued an executive order regarding the avoidance
Carroll County Ministerial Assoc. to present Tuesday evening Community Lenten Services Tuesday evening Community Lenten services, sponsored annually by the Carroll County Ministerial Association, are underway. The services will continue through April 10 at local and area churches. Following is the schedule for the remaining services, which are held weekly at 7 p.m. and their locations along with the respective speakers:
Happy Birthday Ed C. Jones
March 24 – Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church, 89 Canyon Rd. SW, Carrollton, Pastor Tim Dyck of Carrollton First Presbyterian Church (Psalm 32/38); March 31 – Kilgore Evangelical Church on SR 9, 8114 Germano Rd. SE, south of Kilgore, Rev. David Guess of Amsterdam Community Church of God; April 10 – Wesley Community Chapel, 569 12th St. NW, Carrollton, Rev. Harold Miller of Kilgore Evangelical Church. All services are open to the public, who are encouraged to attend.
Celebrate the life of Duane Baughman
of large mass gatherings to help limit the spread of COVID-19 in Ohio. Even though religious gatherings are expressly excluded in the order, the Catholic bishops of Ohio, out of concern for the common good and the physical, as well as spiritual, well-being of all of the people of Ohio, have agreed to cooperate with the governor’s direction to create “social distance”. To that end, the bishops dispense the Catholic faithful who reside in Ohio and all other Catholics currently in Ohio from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass for the weekends of March 21-22 and March 2829.
Out of charity and concern for their brothers and sisters in Christ, the bishops encourage all the faithful, in particular those who are sick, experiencing symptoms of illness, or are at risk of illness, seriously to consider refraining from Mass attendance. As much as possible, they would like to see parish Mass schedules remain unchanged to allow the faithful to offer worship to almighty God and receive the great grace of the sacraments during this trying time; however, they recognize that this may not be possible because many of their senior priests may themselves be at risk. The bishops ask for understanding and flexibility in this regard.
Presbyterian churches to host evangelist through April Evangelist José Feliciano will be preaching at the Carroll United Presbyterian Church, located at 265 Second St. S.W., and also the Scroggsfield Presbyterian Church for the months of March and April. Feliciano most recently went to Cuba to serve as the speaker and translator for a team of evangelists from the United States. Guest pianist for the months
of March and April is Bobby Moser of Minerva. The churches wish to welcome any and all visitors at this special time of year. Worship service at the Carroll Presbyterian Church on Second Street starts at 9:15 a.m. and Scroggsfield at 10:45 a.m.

Our hearts are full of memories of which we would not trade, Memories that fill our thoughts each and every day. We loved you then, we love you still, love never goes away. But what we wouldn’t give if we could have just one more day... Always in our hearts, Love, Your Family
It is not hard to find people who are insensitive, uncaring about the feelings of others, or even just plain mean. How do we react when we are faced with such behavior? Often, we get angry and we become insensitive ourselves. When I was young there were some kids who called me names. “Paintpuss” was their favorite. It hurt my feelings and they could tell so they kept it up. I wanted to hurt them, but I knew that wasn’t a good response. I started to smile and laugh with them when they called me names and they got bored and left me alone. When people hurt us by physical or emotional means – by bullying – how should we respond? In Matthew, chapter 18, we read, Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. That does not mean we forgive someone 490 times and then we can be mean to them. Forgiveness, as hard as it might be, is the call of our Lord. Jesus was pretty clear – two wrongs don’t make a right. Forgiveness is what the Lord expects from us even when it is difficult. When I was in junior high, a friend of mine was being bullied on the playground. I don’t remember the circumstances, but I asked the bully to stop. He just laughed at me and told me to mind my own business. Eventually, I had enough and pushed him so hard he fell to the ground and started to cry. A teacher saw what was happening and sent me to the principal’s office. Although it felt good to help my friend and stop the bullying, my response was inappropriate. Meeting violence with violence is not the answer. Instead, being a source of support for the person who has been hurt is a more meaningful response than seeking revenge against an evil doer. Healing comes much faster when we know that someone else cares and acts in a supportive way. In Luke’s gospel, Jesus explained: “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also.” Responding to evil with love is the best way to act! Pastor Jim Retired

Pick-up sites are as follows. 11-11:20 a.m. at Minerva Elementary, 130 Bonnieview Minerva, Main entrance. 11:30-11:50 a.m. at West Community Center 24604 US Rt 30, East Rochester. 12-12:20 p.m. at Skyland Hills, 14000 Lincolnway, Minerva in the pavilion 12:30-12:50 p.m. at Christ Memorial Church, 2620 Robertsville Ave., Robertsville.

Malvern Christian Care Center responds to outbreak The Board of the Malvern Christian Care Center food pantry is deciding how best to respond to local food needs in the face of the corona virus restrictions. The next distribution date is scheduled for Wednesday, March 25, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. and Thursday, March 26, from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m. The center wants to provide the safest working situation for staff, since most are over 70 years old, a particularly vulnerable age group. According to Rev. Wally Anderson, co-director of the center, the center will make the regular distribution with several changes. In order to reduce contact between recipients and staff, recipients will be asked to remain in their cars instead of coming into the center to register. They will be met at curbside in front of the center (located at 715 E. Porter
St.), where they will be registered by a staff member when they present their identification card. Grocery bags will be delivered to cars by staff, as well. No “choice items” will be offered at this distribution, and there will be no vouchers offered for items at Woods Grocery. New recipients to the Care Center will still need to come inside to fulfill the registration requirements. Community members are reminded that the Akron Canton Regional Food Bank limits distribution of food and non-perishable items to families living with incomes under 150% of Federal Poverty Guidelines. Due to limitations of food supplies, the Center limits its service area to residents living in the Brown Local School District. Anderson stated that the Care Center has no paid staff. It dis-
Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! I fell in love with this book! Now, are you excited to read it? I hope so! Do you remember what day it is today? It is the first day of spring! I think the birds and outside critters are also aware of this great event. The birds seem to be singing a little louder and my squirrels are jumping about with a little more energy! I know the winter has been pretty mild for the most part, but spring gives us something to look forward to! The cover of this book caught my attention. Our main character Elodie Winslow is a young archivist who lives in London. Her whole world changes when she uncovers a leather satchel containing two unseemingly unrelated items. A photo of a beautiful woman
tributes food to 70-80 families on a monthly basis, providing families with a minimum of three breakfasts, three lunches, and three dinners, as well as snacks, including frozen meats. Donations to the Center are tax deductible and may be sent to the Malvern Christian Care Center, Inc., 10 Shoshone Trail, Malvern. The center relies on private donations, donations from churches, businesses, and organizations, as well as grants and donations of food and non-perishables. Food items up to one year after expiration and non-perishable donations (including paper products, personal hygiene, cleaning products) may be dropped off at the center after calling Anderson at 330-704-4086 and making an appointment. The center does not accept home canned foods or expired baby products. By Sherry Kline Bolitho

COVID-19 postpones state tournaments, spring athletic contests

Members of the Minerva girls softball team get ready for team photos for a season that may never take place.
Carrollton senior Nate Blake celebrates with coach Dustin Kempf after advancing to the state wrestling tournament at 145 lbs. He now wonders if he’ll ever get to wrestle at state after COVID-19 stops state tournaments.
By JORDAN MILLER AMERICA – These last few weeks have been nothing short of chaotic, exhausting, and yes, even confusing to us all. The coronavirus, otherwise known as COVID-19, has forced every human to change their lives. Young or old, white or black, we’re all forced to deal with it. There’s not a single American not affected by the orders put into place to prevent the spread of the virus by the governor. Whether your favorite restaurant or bar shut down, or even the place you go to so you can free your mind - like the gym - many of us are impacted by the pandemic COVID-19 has caused. In Ohio, Governor Mike DeWine ordered schools to shut down for three weeks, but its looking like it could be
longer than that, possibly for the remainder of the school year. Parents are left to scramble for last minute daycare arrangements and teachers are forced to prepare online learning lessons for their students who remain at home amid COVID-19 concerns. Again, there is not a single person not affected by this outbreak. An order signed by the governor will not allow any mass gatherings of 50 people or more. Athletes at every level, all over the world, had their seasons either ended or postponed to prevent the spread of the virus. The local athletes in The Free Press Standard’s coverage area have been impacted as well. From the nine local wrestlers who were set to compete in the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s state championship March 13-15 to the high
school athletes who were preparing for spring contests to begin soon - they’re now uncertain whether they’ll get the chance to bring home a state title for their school or even step foot onto a field or track this spring season. Some athletes have waited their whole lives to compete at the state level, earned their way there, and now will have to wait and see if they get their shot. “We will use this time to work with the appropriate state authorities and health experts to determine our next steps moving forward,” OHSAA Commissioner Jerry Snodgrass said during a press conference held with the media last week. “We realize this is disappointing for our participants and their fans, but the overall health and safety of everyone involved in our tournaments is our priority.” No timetable has been determined for possible rescheduling for the
tournaments. The decision to cancel sports came just 15 minutes before a girls state semifinal game, involving the West Branch Lady Warriors, was set to tipoff. The announcement was made after state and local officials recommended that no public gatherings take place to help stop the spread of the virus. The OHSAA sent the following press release after scheduling a Thursday press conference: COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association will host a press conference at noon Thursday (March 19) at the OHSAA office, Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass has announced. The press conference will be limited to 30 media members to comply with the directive from the Centers for Disease Control that no more than 50 people be together in the same room. Media
must request and be approved for a seat at the press conference via email from Tim Stried at the OHSAA. The press conference will be streamed live through OHSAA.tv and the OHSAA’s social media platforms (@OHSAASports on Twitter and Facebook). Snodgrass will provide updates and information on the OHSAA’s winter tournaments that were postponed indefinitely last Thursday, along with updates on spring sports. He will also take questions from media. OHSAA member schools are encouraged to watch the press conference, as Snodgrass will respond to some of the frequently asked questions from the past several days. His memo to member schools last Friday is posted at: https://www.ohsaa.org/newsmedia/articles/ohsaa-winter-and-spring-s ports-update.
The annual Bell-Herron Scholarship Foundation Fund Drive will be conducted from March 30 to April 30. Contributions are being sought until April 30 in an attempt to meet the 2020 drive goal of $10,000. Contributions of $5 or more, which are tax deductible, entitle the donor to a voting membership in the scholarship foundation. Since its establishment in 1963, the Foundation has invested $1,391,100 in providing post high school training for local and area young people within the Carrollton Exempted Village School District. There have been 1,242 recipients
over these past 56 years. Last year, 28 scholarships were awarded by the Bell-Herron Scholarship Foundation totaling $46,250. Due to the generosity of the late Dr. Glenn C. Dowell, four scholarships to The Ohio State University were provided last year totaling $8,000. Four scholarships were also awarded in memory of Mrs. Bert (Jane) Lytle, totaling $7,000. The leadership scholarships created by Steve and Suzanne Harter awarded $6,250 to four students to attend Mount Union University. Also, last year, five senior Bell-Herron scholarships were
given that totaled $5,000. In addition, there were six recipients for the Bell-Herron Earl and Marie Carlton Scholarships, which totaled $12,000. The Bell-Herron Anderson Memorial Scholarship of three recipients totaled $5,000. This year, two scholarships are in the memory of Mary Kean White and Phyllis Newell for a total of $3,000. The Foundation was established in honor and memory of W.R. Bell and J. Wendell Herron, both former superintendents at Carrollton Schools. Current Foundation officers are Atty.
Sean Smith, president; David Davis, vice president; Linda Shotwell, treasurer, and DiAnne Buck, secretary. All scholarships are awarded to graduates of Carrollton High School. While no one student is awarded a large amount, the financial and moral support, which a scholarship provides often, is the extra boost needed to allow that student to begin a program of higher education. Finally, the Bell-Herron Scholarship Foundation joined the Carroll County Foundation, which is a part of the Stark Community Foundation, a philanthropic and charitable services organization that
provides experienced staff, administrative support and fiduciary management. Contributions may be given any time of the year. Memorials, class gifts or donations also may be a consideration for the future. Donations may be mailed to the BellHerron Foundation treasurer, Linda Shotwell, P.O. Box 123, Carrollton, Ohio 44615. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Sean Smith (president) at 330-627-4770 or Dave Davis (vice president) at the high school, 330-6272134.

Warner, Nicholas win awards at Carrollton Elemtary science fair By NANCY SCHAAR
FPS Correspondent
Carrollton Elementary School’s annual science fair was held in the Bell Herron gymnasium on March 3, and the winners have been announced. The event, coordinated by Kay Russell and Lisa Pozderac, used a 3-part judging system this year. Visitors to the science fair on March 3 were able to vote for their choice. Students and teachers were able to vote on March 4. The three groups of ballots were tallied separately. Visitors were amazed at the vast range of subjects displayed by the students. One very popular exhibit was the hydraulic arm constructed by Maddie Warner, who demonstrated several tasks using the arm. Maddie is the daughter of Cori and Dan
Warner of Carrollton. One project that garnered a lot of discussion was Emma Nicholas’ experiment proving that chickens can and will eat and digest stryrofoam, which could help solve a pollution problem. Emma is the daughter of Cassie and Matthew Nicholas of Carrollton. The winners were announced on March 13. They include: - Best Presenter: Nic Peebles and Kaden Sanders for ‘Will Water Glow?’; Emma Eddy and Josyln James for growing gummy bears; and Joshua Hossler for ‘What’s Poppin’. - Most Creative: Maddie Warner for her under-pressure hydraulic arm; Gabi McCort for her cupcake ingredient investigation; and Emma Nicholas for
‘Earth-Saving Chickens’. - Most Outstanding: Ani Ruggieri for ‘How Do You Clean Abraham Lincoln?’, which demonstrated various ways to clean pennies; Gracelyn Folk for her project about germs in the home; Dallak Paulette for ‘Evanescent Shells’ and Lydia Oboy for ‘Amazing Raise’. Student winners were: Brayden Swearingen and Kael Lowdermilk for their Pop-Mentos explosion experiment; Nic Peebles and Kaden Sanders for ‘Will Water Glow?’; and Jahveze for ‘Lego Tower Earthquake’. Family winners were: Kaden Kislan for ‘Mixing it Up’; Joshua Hossler for ‘What’s Poppin’ and Cheyenne Wright for ‘How to Keep Cut Flowers Fresh the Longest’. Find an additional photo on page 12.

Spring Home Improvement Three common DIY mistakes to avoid

When DIY projects falter, fixing them can prove costly, as homeowners typically must call in contractors to correct their mistakes and get a project back on track.
the projects advance. If proper permits are not secured, homeowners may be fined and projects may be nixed, regardless of how much money homeowners have spent up to that point. Before beginning a home renovation project, homeowners should always contact their lo-
ROC
cal permit office to determine if any permits are required. Bankrate.com notes that permits are often required for any project larger than painting or wallpapering. 2. Overestimating your abilities DIY television shows make home renovation projects look easy, but reality suggests otherwise. Homeowners with little or no experience renovating a home may want to take classes before they think about starting a project on their own. Even online tutorials tend to make jobs appear easier than they are. Roofing and plumbing projects tend to be best left to the professionals, as these projects can be either dangerous or vulnerable to disaster if not addressed by trained professionals.

Pride tends to swell when homeowners successfully complete do-it-yourself projects on their homes. In addition to saving homeowners money, DIY projects provide a unique way for men and women to personally connect with their homes. The ability to look at a finished project and say it’s a result of your own handiwork can make a home feel more your own. As fun and fulfilling as DIY projects can be, they also can be nerve-wracking and induce anxiety. When DIY projects falter, fixing them can prove costly, as homeowners typically must call in contractors to correct their mistakes and get a project back on track. That results in additional labor and material costs that might have been avoidable, especially for homeowners who make an effort to avoid some common DIY mistakes. 1. Failure to secure permits Even though homeowners own their homes, that does not mean they have carte blanche to do what they want with them. Many renovation projects require homeowners to secure permits before projects can commence. Some may even require additional permits as

3. Incorrect materials Whether it’s to save money or a byproduct of inexperience, DIYers do not always choose the correct materials for a job. Experienced contractors have ample experience working with all sorts of materials and are therefore in a unique position to recommend the best materials for any given job. That resource is not available for DIYers, who must perform ample research before beginning a job so the project involves the most appropriate materials. Incorrect materials can be a sunken cost that derails a project, but even jobs completed using incorrect materials may need to be redone a lot more quickly than those that employed the right materials the first time. Many home renovation projects can be completed without the help of professional contractors., especially when homeowners take steps to avoid some of the more common mistakes made by DIYers.

Improving storage at home can be a cost-effective alternative to renting storage space. With these easy tips, homeowners can maximize space immediately.
Lack of storage space inspires creative ways to improve options Homes are getting bigger, but it seems like people are still lamenting a lack of storage space. National Public Radio says the average American home has nearly tripled in size during the last 50 years. Despite that, 10 percent of Americans still need to rent off-site storage, according to a report in the New York Times Magazine. Self-storage facilities are one of the fastest-growing commercial real estate segments, and the Self Storage Association says there are more than 50,000 storage facilities in the U.S. alone. The commercial real estate company CBRE, Ltd., says there are

roughly 3,000 self-storage facilities across Canada, and 65 to 85 percent of self-storage tenants are residential users. Improving storage at home can be a cost-effective alternative to renting storage space. With these easy tips, homeowners can maximize space immediately. Utilize track storage systems Closets may be plentiful, but if not efficiently utilized, space may still seem lacking. Track closet storage systems often make greater use of closet space than traditional shelf and hanging rod systems. Customizing closets using track systems or other modifications can improve utility of all closets in the house. Invest in storage beds Storage beds typically feature cubbies or drawers within a platform-style bed frame. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a practical home storage solution, and does not require any building. Think vertically Maximize spaces by looking up and down for storage possibilities. Items that are not used frequently, such as seasonal decorations or travel suitcases, can be stored in high spaces. Shelving on walls can go as high as necessary and be put to use in awkward wall areas, such as in

Spring Home Improvement Homeowners should know what to expect during a bathroom remodel There are many reasons to renovate a home. Some homeowners purchase fixer-uppers and commit to making major renovations before they even move in, while others may renovate their homes with an eye on resale value. Many homeowners also take on renovation projects to make the homes more livable for themselves. Bathroom renovations are popular projects. In fact, a 2018 survey from the National Association of Home Builders found that bathroom remodels are the most popular remodeling projects. But just because bathroom remodeling projects are popular doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re easy to endure. Knowing what to expect during a bathroom remodel can help homeowners get through the renovation process. Cost Bathroom remodeling projects can be expensive. According to Remodeling magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cost vs. Value 2019â&#x20AC;? report, a mid-range bathroom remodeling project cost an average of $20,420 in 2019, while an upscale remodel cost just under $64,000. Homeowners should develop budgets for their bathroom renovation projects to determine which type of project
Tips on how to clean when faced with supply shortage In light of concerns about COVID-19, various health organizations have issued specific instructions on how to maintain personal safety and cleanliness. These recommendations involve using common household products to sanitize homes, offices and public spaces. As people take such precautions, many are stocking up on extra essentials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; resulting in shortages. Everything from hand sanitizers to paper towels may be hard to find on grocery store shelves, leaving some to wonder what they can do to remain safe without sanitizers? The Environmental Protection Agency states that coronaviruses are some of the easiest types of viruses to kill because they have an envelope around them that enables them to merge with other cells and infect them. If that protective coating can be disrupted, the virus canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do its job. For those having trouble finding well-known cleaning agents, these alternatives may suffice. Hot water and soap The reason hand-washing is at the top of the list of sanitizing methods is because it is so effective at washing away viruses and bacteria. Friction from scrubbing with soap and water can help break the protective envelope, states the EPA. Soap and water can clean all surfaces in a home, especially when applying a little extra elbow grease. Hydrogen peroxide As people clear isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) off the shelves, do not discount hydrogen peroxide. The CDC says household hydrogen peroxide at 3 percent concentration can deactivate rhinovirus, the virus that causes the common cold, within six to eight minutes of contact. Coronavirus is easier to destroy than rhinovirus, so hydrogen peroxide may be effective at combatting that virus as well. Natural items can be used for general cleaning, but have not been endorsed for use on COVID-19 disinfection. In lieu of shortages, white vinegar, baking soda pastes and citrus oils and juices could fill the void of chemically-based cleansers for other home tasks.
they can afford. In addition, setting aside a little extra money for overruns is a wise move that can help homeowners handle any unforeseen expenses that arise during the project. Noise Few home renovation projects can be undertaken quietly, and bathroom renovations tend to generate a lot of noise. The noise can be difficult to overcome for professionals who work from home full-time, and it also can be hard on parents of young children who still nap and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet go to school. Parents of young children may find it best to delay bathroom renovation projects until their children are school-aged and out of the house for most of the day on weekdays. Mess The debris generated by bath-
room renovation projects is another thing homeowners must prepare for. In addition to preparing for the waste generated by the project, first-time renovators must realize that dust might be a big issue once the project begins. Dust can pose a threat to residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; overall health, particularly the health of youngsters whose bodies havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet fully developed. As a result, parents of young children may want to schedule renovations during family vacations so their children are exposed to as little dust as possible. Changes Few renovations go off without a hitch. Once a project begins, contractors often uncover issues that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t noticeable to the naked eye. These issues may increase the cost of completing a project or force homeowners

to change their plans to make the project stay as close to their budgets as possible. Recognizing that these decisions may have to be made on the fly can
help homeowners feel more prepared when unexpected issues arise. Bathroom renovation projects are worthwhile investments.

Presidents of area Farm Bureau chapters, including Carroll County’s Dan Kirk, heard from Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown during last week’s trip to Washington, D.C.
expected to rise; milk production increased in the U.S. last year, while 260 dairy operations closed down in Ohio alone. The first day’s session concluded with briefings on three issues - broadband, mental health and sustainability. R.J. Karney, director of Congressional Relations, stated that if there is one issue on which there is universal agreement, it’s that access to broadband is essential. “Rural broadband is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.” Karney outlined some of the roadblocks are “mapping,” with no checking to ensure that installation covers and entire outlined area, and “census blocks,” in which access is limited to areas with the largest population. He said that S.B. 1822, which will correct the mapping issues, was passed by the House of Representatives in December, but needs has to be “re-voted” to
correct one error. The steps the AFB has taken to address mental health concerns include developing discussion material on “farmer stress” and by budgeting $3 million for a PSA campaign to lessen the stigma attached to mental health issues and urging people to be aware that friends and neighbors may need help. Andrew Wodmsley concluded Day One by acknowledging that “climate change” will continue to affect productivity. He said “Farmers for a Sustainable Future” was formed to pool ideas and suggestions to make the best use of available resources. He said that “incentivizing innovation” will encourage development of new technology and profitable and sustainable production methods. Next week: Day Two - Meat and Potatoes
corners or under eaves. Invest in storage benches/ottomans A stopping area inside the front door replete with a storage bench can house shoes, umbrellas, hats, backpacks, and other items, keeping them tidy and out of sight. In living rooms, look for chests or ottomans that are decorative and functional. Store throw blankets or board games inside. Recess drawers or shelves Gain more storage by recessing a chest of drawers into what is called the “knee wall” of homes that have sloped ceilings in attics and upstairs bedrooms. Utilize these short walls in an efficient manner by sinking drawers or shelves into them, without taking up floor space. Rafter shelving While in the attic (or a garage), add hanging shelves to rafters or exposed beams to create off-thefloor storage as well.
These are just a few of the handy ways to improve the interior storage space in a home.

An Emergency Kit to Cope with the Coronavirus Outbreak
COVID19 (Coronavirus) has many local residents in self-isolation or practicing social distancing locally. Here are some suggestions to develop a two-week “emergency kit.” Please do not hoard - purchase only what you need. There are elderly persons and those with compromised immune systems who also need items and may be finding empty shelves. Have a two-week supply of the following: • Dry goods - Beans, rice, cereal, pasta and nuts. • Canned goods - Soups, fruit and vegetables. • Fresh food - Fresh produce and meat that can be refrigerated or frozen. • Frozen food - Easy microwave meals. • Fun food - Chips, sweets and snacks. • Drinks - Coffee, tea, bottled water or soft drinks. • Soap - Specifically, hand soap since you need to scrub your hands 20 seconds to kill the coronavirus. Hand sanitizer should be used when in public spaces and when soap and water is not available. • Cleaning and hygiene supplies Dish soap, laundry detergent and toilet paper.
• Medication - Prescriptions or overthe-counter medications regularly used. • Baby supplies - Formula, baby food, diapers and other essentials. • Pet supplies - Pet food, litter and other supplies. • Stay Social - Just not in person. Connect with friends and family through video chats and phone calls, especially, the elderly who may be feeling isolated Other Tips: • Follow a routine - Maintain a sense of normalcy by following your usual routine. • Be Entertained - TV, streaming services, card and board games. Catch up on your reading. • Exercise - Tame your cabin fever by dancing, start those workouts or take a walk.
