‘Old Betsy’ comes home By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor
Smiles and nostalgia reigned as members of the Fox Township Volunteer Fire Department gathered at the fire station in Mechanicstown on Tuesday evening, June 9, to welcome a special guest, “Old Betsy,” a 1931 Chevrolet pumper that happens to be the first piece of equipment purchased by the fledgling department, in 1952. Chief Fred Barnett explained that charter memberships of $25 per household provided the seed money to form the Fox Township VFD in 1951, and were used to purchase the pumper from the Minerva Fire Department in 1952. “Old Betsy” – the vehicle was named by Minerva firefighters as a tribute to its reliability - was in use for several years, and was a popular feature in area parades. In fact, Barnett said, “Old Betsy” took top honors competing against newer, brighter, bigger fire engines at the 1976 Highlandtown parade. Time took a toll, though, and as the department updated its fleet, the outdated, little pumper fell into disrepair and eventually was moved to a barn at the lumberyard in Mechanicstown owned by Joyce and Glenn Guess. There it remained, until 2001, when Jim Carlton asked Joyce Guess if he could have a look at what was in her barn. Now a Carroll County resident, Carlton lived much of his life in northern Ohio. He became somewhat famil-

Malvern resident, Landin Robinson, 16, and his cousin, Klayton Manning, 18, were shot and killed on the evening of Tuesday, June 9, while riding a utility terrain vehicle on a country road near Luling, Texas. Bryan Haynes, 34, of Austin, Texas, was arrested on June 11 and has been charged with two counts of capital murder. Haynes allegedly shot the two teens multiple times. News reports say that he told his brother he shot two “aliens” who were chasing him. “We’re hoping we get justice,” said Landin’s mom, Amber Hise, following the arrest of Haynes. “Landin was a good kid. Klayton was a good kid.” Landin’s mother was at home in Malvern when she learned of her son’s death. “I was going to lay down. My kids were in Texas visiting their dad and I texted them every night ‘I love you’. There was not one night I didn’t tell
LANDIN ROBINSON my kids I loved them,” said Hise.

One day, Mrs. Guess unlocked the barn door. And there sat the forlorn little pumper. A few days later, Carlton made an offer and was told he was second in line

Prepare for power outages with a Generac home standby generator
On Monday, June 15, Judge Michael V. Repella II granted a motion by prosecutors to reschedule a pretrial hearing in the case of State of Ohio vs. Matthew Little from June 16 to July 1. The June hearing resulted from motions filed on May 22, by Little’s defense attorneys, re-
questing a change of venue for the trial and suspension of evidence collected in warrant and warrantless searches as well as statements made by Little. The judgment entry filed on June 15 extends to June 26, the deadline by which the prosecution must file “any and all responses to the defendant’s motions.“ The hearing on Wednesday, July 1 will convene at 3:30 p.m. in the Carroll County Court of Common Pleas.
Judge denies judicial release for Rector A fifth motion for judicial release involving a former Lee Twp. man’s 2001 prison sentence has been overruled by a Mahoning County Common Pleas Judge. The ruling was made in a judgment entry filed June 11 by Judge R. Scott Krichbaum in the case of Thomas C. Rector, 55, formerly of Carrollton, who originally was sentenced April 5, 2001, to 41 ½ years in prison by former Carroll County Common Pleas Court Judge William J. Martin. Rector was convicted by a Carroll County petit jury on four counts of rape March 27, 2001, involving then, a minor under the age of 13. The 40-year prison sentence included ten years on each of the four rape convictions, to be served consecutive, plus an 18-month prison sentence reimposed in a separate case in which Rector violated a five-
year probation imposed March 29, 1999, upon conviction of vandalism. A second probation violation charge stemming from a DUI conviction was dismissed by the prosecution. Following appeals filed by Rector’s legal counsel with the Seventh District Court of Appeals and Ohio Supreme Court, Judge Krichbaum, upon appointment by the Supreme Court, cut the 41 ½-year prison sentence in half. At a July 1, 2010, hearing, Judge Krichbaum resentenced Rector to 5-year prison terms on each of the four rape convictions to be served consecutively plus the 18-month prison sentence imposed upon the probation violation conviction, also to be served consecutively, resulting in 21 ½ years. According to the Ohio Department of Corrections, Rector is eligible for release from prison Aug. 26, 2021.

Leesville Council receives offer to help with storm sewer repair By JACQUIE HUMPHREY
FPS Correspondent At the June meeting of the Leesville Village Council, former village employee and current resident Steve Deist submitted an offer from another village resident, John Nussbaum, to assist the village in a storm sewer repair project. Mayor John Traxler read the proposal to council in which Nussbaum offered to split the cost of materials to replace two catch basins and upgrade 240 feet of pipe from 8 to 12” with the village, and absorb all costs of labor. Nussbaum estimated the cost of materials at $1,517 and requested use of the village’s tax-exempt status for the purchase. Council discussed the offer and Solicitor Jenna Hokes advised that the village would need to make the purchase of materials and have Nussbaum reimburse for his half, but said her main
concern was for the labor to be performed by a contractor who is bonded and insured. Traxler telephoned Nussbaum and both he and Hokes spoke with him to clarify the arrangements for this joint venture. Council unanimously accepted Nussbaum’s offer and agreed that the village would pay the entire cost of materials. Council approved having village employee Skip Bernhart assist on this project once insurance and bonding documents from the contractor are received. In other discussion, Hokes reported that the situation with the village’s lapsed tax levies is still ongoing. She said she has left her contact information and also sent a request to the State’s general email address but the person she needs to speak with is out of the office. Hokes told council that Fiscal Officer Sally Bernhart has been very helpful in locating the original election ballot, stating the voting date of November 2014, with a collection date to
begin in 2015 and payments beginning in January of 2016, for a 5-year period. Work will continue on this issue until satisfactorily resolved. In other action council: - Heard an update on wastewater system maintenance and agreed to get pricing for review in July for needed items. - Learned that Buckeye Power Sales had performed the second checkup of the wastewater treatment system and that the new battery approved earlier in the year has been installed. - Approved an additional expenditure of $220 for postage. - Discussed updating the utility agreement with Conotton Valley Union Local School District. Approved spending up to $300 for hot mix. - Learned that three letters had been issued to property owners regarding mowing ordinance violations and that one property owner would like to donate the land in question to the village to be used as a park. - Set the next meeting for Tuesday, July 14 at 6:30 p.m.

Ron Dennis’ 1931 fire truck (right) looks incredibly small compared to Fox Township’s newer fire truck. The 1931 fire truck was Fox Township’s first and was purchased from the Minerva Fire Department.
BETSY from PG. 1 residence, until – and here is where the story takes a twist that makes one ponder certain notions about coincidences and such – he happened to mention to a co-worker at “Tennessee Gas,” now Kinder Morgan, that he owned a vintage pumper truck. That co-worker was Ron Dennis.
Anyone who knows Dennis is familiar with the craftsmanship he brings to restoring cars, tractors – actually, any wheeled vehicle. Plus, Dennis’ father, Kenneth, had been a charter member of the Fox Township VFD. Dennis bought “Old Betsy” from Carlton in 2011. He then spent three years refurbishing
the vehicle, which now sports some of its original equipment, including ladders. As a general rule reporters stay out of the story, but that evening, as Dennis and Chief Barnett returned from taking “Old Betsy” for a spin along Route 39, this reporter waved and said, “Lookin’ good, Old Betsy; you surely are lookin’ good.”
Commissioners briefed on Sherrodsville Council discusses replacement levy county storm damage By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Sherrodsville Fiscal Officer Valerie Gardner advised council members that the village currently has two levies on the books that date back to the 1990s. Gardner has found that the two levies combined bring in about $2,420 per year. Gardner said the levies have been renewed, but at the 1999 rate. She said if the village allows the two levies to expire at the end of this year, a replacement levy can be put on the ballot that would yield $5,039 per year. A replacement levy would raise taxes only slightly, but would double the income to use for parks, streets, and other projects. A public hearing will be held
for residents to voice their opinions. Council members briefly discussed complaints about the EMS ambulance service in the village. Council member Mike Booth has learned that Regional EMS was otherwise occupied and did not respond to every call in the village for ambulance service. Mayor Michelle Higgenbotham spoke with ‘emergency services’ at the sheriff’s office and learned that Regional was dispatched for Sherrodsville on March 14, April 1, April 24, June 11 and June 12. Regional did not respond to the call on April 24. Before signing the agreement with Regional, council members had expressed concerns that Regional would not be available for emergency responses in the village due to making numerous trips each
week to transport patients to and from area hospitals and nursing homes. In other business council: - APPROVED closing the EMS account and transferring the balance of $26,451 to the general fund. - LEARNED that plumbing repairs have been finished at the former fire hall and all village materials have been removed. Gardner does not know when Regional EMS will take possession of the building. - APPROVED spending up to $600 for tires for the mower from Leggett Tires. - DISCUSSED quotes of $600 for power washing and $1500 for painting the former EMS building. - SAID that hot patch will be applied to potholes as soon as workers are available to assist with the project.
TEEN from PG. 1 “When Landin didn’t respond to me, I said ‘Landin, answer your phone. I know you’re busy, but Mom wants five minutes just to talk to you’. There was no answer.” Then, Hise said, she got the phone call no parent ever wants to get. “My daughter called me and she was screaming through the phone. She said, ‘Mom I need you here now, I need you here now! Landin’s been killed!’” Hise says her family booked a flight for the following morning. “We just got on the plane as fast as we could to get there (Texas),” she said.

She said Landin was the protector of his two sisters, Madison and Kaitlin. “His older sister says it should’ve been her and not him. She’s just been telling me over and over and over again how sorry she is and that she should’ve protected him more,” said Hise. “That’s not a weight that they should have to carry. I just feel so bad for my kids.” “They loved their brother. He was their protector,” Hise said. “Even though he was the baby, he was their protector.” Hise said she doesn’t know how she’ll move on. “I don’t know how I’ll go on without him. I don’t know how any parent is supposed to bury their child,” she said. “You, as a parent are supposed to have your children bury you; not you bury them.” A GoFundMe page has been set up to help offset some of the funeral expenses. Hise says the Malvern community has been very supportive. “I appreciate all the love, support and the help. It’s just a godsend,” Hise said. “In such a tragic way, we lost somebody we loved. Landin loved his foot-
ball team.” “We are deeply saddened, stunned and angry about the tragic loss of one of our own, Landin Robinson,” said Malvern’s football coaching staff via Facebook. “Landin was such a quiet, kind, humble and hard-working young man. We ask that you please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they deal with the loss of Landin.” Hise said Landin could light up a room. “He had a lot of friends. He was a joker, but he was a quiet kid, a good kid.” Landin would have been a junior this fall and had just been accepted into the RG Drage welding program. Hise said her last conversation with her son was about preparing for his classes. “I was talking to him about getting his welding stuff that he would like to have. We were setting up stuff for him for welding. He wanted to be a welder.” Klayton, who was a firefighter at the SE Caldwell County Fire Department in Texas, and Landin were buried with full honors with police officers and firemen attending the service.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. The Air Force needed airfields in the Mariana Islands, 1,500 miles from Japan, if the new B-29’s were to reach the Empire. The Navy wanted advance bases there for future moves against the Philippines and eventually against Japan, hoping that would bring out the Japanese main fleet for a final decisive action. There were three main islands to go after: Saipan, Tinian and Guam. The greatest invasion armada the world had yet seen was assembled for this amphibious operation against the Marianas. The island of Saipan was first, 14 miles long by six wide, rugged mountains and ringed with coral reef. Saipan was the headquarters of the Japanese Central Pacific Fleet and the Japanese 31st Army. By careful count there were 29,662 Japanese defenders on Saipan. The key terrain feature was the honeycombed Mount Tapotchau, 1,552 feet high, in the center of the island and the one important airfield,
Aslito, was at the southern end. D-Day for Saipan was 15 June, 1944, H-Hour was 0840. Seven hundred am tracks carried the assault waves, coming in behind new armored amphibians mounted with 75-mm guns. The Japanese poured motor and artillery fire upon them as they crossed the reef. The Marines took 2,000 causalities the first day. Five of the original battalion commanders were hit. One battalion – the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines – had four different commanders before dark. The situation on the island was not good but the Navy got one reaction they wanted: on June 18 the Japanese main battle fleet came out of hiding to meet the U. S. Fifth fleet. The Americans were ready for the battle. Land based planes had been flown out to join the carrier craft. The air was soon filled with Zeros and other Japanese planes and the slaughter began. Few of the enemy got through to the American vessels, but one torpedo hit the old battleship Maryland, which had been damaged at Pearl Harbor and
Letters to the Editor On June 5, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said this: “When you have crowds of people together and you have the lack of wearing a mask, that increases the risk of there being transmissibility. I have no doubt about that. When we see that not happening, there is a concern that that may actually propagate the further spread of infection.” Unfortunately, Kristen Resinger, whose letter was published in the June 11 Free Press Standard, is one of many victims of a YouTube upload of an outdated Dr. Fauci clip taken out of context. Back on March 8, before the science community was fully aware of “asymptomatic” COVID-19 transmission, Dr. Fauci did say that masks do not protect those who wear them. But even then he emphasized, “The masks are important for someone who’s infected to prevent them from infecting someone else.” It wasn’t until April 3 that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reversed its earlier position on wearing masks. “In light of new evidence,” the CDC recommended that masks be worn “in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.” Too many people buy into conspiracy theories without checking into the facts. Dave Lange Malvern To the Editor: Some advice and experiences from the president of the Carroll County Animal Protection League: Now that the warmer weather is here, a few tips to keep your dog(s) safe! Warm weather and heated vehicles: It is a known fact that the temperature inside a vehicle can reach 100 degrees or more even if the temperature outside is 75 degrees or above if the vehicle is parked in the sun. Even a vehicle parked in the shade can heat up quickly if the temperature is above 85 degrees. Leaving the windows down a crack or even halfway does not eliminate the need for a dog to cool down from the heat that rises in the vehicle which escalates when sitting still. If the dog cannot reduce its body temperature by panting, and if it is breathing in hot air from inside and/or outside, it cannot cool down. After a brief period of time, (within minutes) the dog’s body temperature goes up and very quickly this can be the start of heat exhaustion. Once this happens, the brain is affected, and this can result in “brain frying” and is common among animals (and children) left in hot vehicles in a very short time! If the animal is not taken out of the vehicle, given cool water, cold towels applied, and the chances of getting to a veterinarian clinic quickly are not an option, the dog may die. My word of advice - let Fido stay home where it is safer for him or her. If dog(s) are housed outside, please provide cool water several times a day, and also shade to keep the dog(s) from exposure to the sun and dehydration. Another factor to consider: While the owner is in the store shopping or wherever they have gone, the dog is on alert for anyone approaching the vehicle, which further excites the dog(s) and increases the need to pant. The dog(s) can be jumping around inside and barking, and again, further escalates the need to pant as their excitement increases. How many times have you seen dogs or children left in vehicles in parking lots! It is so sad to see a dog or child in distress! Another factor to consider: If the pavement is too hot for you in your bare feet, it is too hot for your dog(s). Their pads can be burned terribly. Letting a dog(s) head hang out the window while driving! I have known dogs who have died and lost their eye because while the dog’s head is out the window, a bee can go down the throat of the dog, sting the dog, and cause swelling in the throat and tongue in a matter of seconds! The driver may not be aware anything has happened, until it might be too late. Dogs, like people, can have allergic reactions to bee stings and, unless medical help is nearby, it could be fatal. It happened to me a long time ago, and, luckily, I was able to get my dog to a vet right away. The veterinarian gave her a shot and it saved her. From then on, I had to have an antihistamine handy, in case she got stung at home outside as the reaction to another bee sting would be more severe. The cases of a bug going into a dog’s eye traveling at even 25 mph or more, can enter the eye and can cause the dog to suffer irreparable damage and it may have to have the eye removed. I have known of cases of stones doing the same thing from passing vehicles. So, beware, be alert, and keep Fido safe! Eileen Rohrer President CCAPL Carrollton

For those who don’t have a Facebook account, you can still participate. Also, you can find information regarding the Children’s Summer Reading there. Cookbook Club: The theme for June was pasta salads, hot or cold. Since participants can’t meet in person, the staff has expanded its theme to include all salads. If the recipe contains the word “salad,” the recipe is fair game. Once the salad is made, take a picture of it and email it to carrolllibraryorg@gmail.com attention Cookbook Club. In the email, include the recipe.
The recipes will be made available on the library’s Facebook page. Scribbling with Purpose, a journaling group, meets monthly under normal circumstances. Instead of meeting, the staff is encouraging attendees to keep up their journaling with prompts found on the Facebook page. Here are the prompts for this month: During the time of shutdown/quarantine, what did you discover that you could do without? Did you discover that you had taken something or service for granted? What did you learn to do in order to “make do” during the quarantine? It is not necessary to share your thoughts with us. Journaling is a good way to help clarify and disentangle thoughts. Some journal daily while others journal only when they can. The last book discussion book was “Educated: A Memoir” by Tara Westover. Ms. Westover relates her journey from being

Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! I hope you all remember what special event is coming up this weekend! You got it, Father’s Day! If my dad were still alive, it would be all about him! Now that I am 67 years old, my dad died a young man. He was 55. I am thankful he lived to see me marry and give birth to two sons. He made a great grandpa as he did a dad. My dad. There’s no one like him. How about yours? If he is still here with you, celebrate his life and cherish the times spent t o g e t h e r. He’ll like that! This week I thought we would explore the weather. Think about it, most of the time we work around the weather. Whether it’s about work or fun, we need to know what a day may bring. My dad loved to golf, my father-in-law loved to fish, and I love to ride my bicycle, so I don’t think we would like it if it rained everyday! As I read through this book I found it to be exciting. We deal with weather every day and it is

High school sports - opportunity for everyone to be included, accepted By DR. KARISSA L. NIEHOFF
NFHS Executive Director
Seemingly overnight, the focus across the country is not on the COVID-19 pandemic or the restarting of sports. The horrific tragedy in Minneapolis and the ensuing protests in major cities across our nation have resulted in a sobering wake-up call that there are issues that must be addressed as fervently as the development of a vaccine for the novel coronavirus. These are worrisome scenes from across the country and are signs that we have much work to do regarding racial injustice and equality for everyone. Many of the cities ravaged this past week are homes to our member state associations, including the city of Indianapolis where the NFHS and the Indiana High School Athletic Association reside. In due time, the national health crisis will subside, businesses hopefully will be able to re-open and people will be
able to return to their jobs. But what is the timetable for an end to racial injustice in our nation? If the clashes of this past week do not provide the necessary signal that these issues are more important than anything we have ever faced and could make or break our nation, nothing will. Sports often provide an escape from the ugly scenes on the news. With high school sports – like most other sports – sidelined during the pandemic, we cannot “escape” the scenes of the past week. Perhaps, for the moment, that is a good thing as the nation can collectively focus on one goal. That goal is to treat everyone the same, treat each other with respect, regardless of the color of one’s skin – the very fundamentals of high school sports and activities in our nation’s schools where all genders, all races, all religions – as in teamwork – work together to accomplish a goal. Nationwide, we have much work to do. Our hearts are broken at what we have
seen and heard this past week. Our thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to the families of Dreasjon Reed, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and many other African Americans who have lost their lives in racially motivated tragedies just this year. We must value the life of every single person in our country, and we must continue to provide opportunities for all people to succeed. Everyone must be a part of the solution, including participants, coaches and others in high school sports and performing arts in our nation’s schools. And to those students, coaches, officials and school administrators who represent these targeted populations, the NFHS stands with these groups for positive change. By the end of the sixth day of the recent protests, one thing seemed to be crystal clear: the lack of a strong national voice emphatically calling for Americans to value the life of every single person – calling for an end to
prejudiced, bigoted behavior. We believe there is no better national voice than high school sports and performing arts programs, where opportunities exist for boys and girls of all races, all religions, all levels of ability to work together, to trust each other and to eventually make a difference on the streets of our nation. Is everything perfect in educationbased athletics and performing arts? Certainly not as we noted in this column last fall after reports of a couple of incidents of racism and disrespect had surfaced. We stated that high schools must establish a culture that values the worth of every single person – both players on the school’s team and players on the opposing team. There must be a no-tolerance policy regarding behavior that shows disrespect for another individual. School-based sports and activities provide that unique opportunity to be part of a team and to provide identity, a sense of self-worth and a reason for
engaging in academics. In high school sports and activities, all students are included, accepted and feel like a valued member of a community. Those protesting this past week are demanding much of the same. When it comes to the opportunity that sports provides to bring everyone together, no one said it better earlier this week than Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes said he was thankful that he had grown up in locker rooms with people from “every race, every background” and he hopes America “can learn from the injustices that we have witnessed to become more like the locker room where everyone is accepted.” In one of our columns last fall, we stated that racism was one of our greatest concerns nationwide. By midMarch, we were sure that fighting the COVID-19 pandemic was our greatest concern. This past week has been a rude awakening that indeed dealing with racial injustice MUST take center stage.
Carroll County General Health District issues reminder to prevent tick-related diseases Officials at the Carroll County General Health District would like to remind residents to prevent tick-related diseases by preventing tick bites. Spring has arrived, and ticks are active. As people have been spending more time outdoors gardening, playing, and hiking, as a socially distant activity, we must include tick prevention as a part of our outdoor planning. Lyme disease is the most commonly occurring vector-born disease in the U.S. Lyme disease is spread through the infected bite of ticks. The black-legged tick (or deer tick) spreads the disease in the northeastern Atlantic, and northcentral United States. In general, ticks need to be attached for 36 to 48 hours before they can transmit disease bacterium. Blacklegged ticks live in moist and humid environments, particularly in or near wooded or grassy areas, and are active year-round. You may come into contact with ticks during outdoor activities around your homes or when walking through vegetation such as leaf litter or shrubs. To avoid ticks, walk in the center of trails and avoid tall vegetation. In 2019, Carroll County had thirty-
five confirmed cases of Lyme disease. Thus far, in 2020, there have been four confirmed cases of Lyme disease in Carroll County. Use a repellent with DEET (on skin or clothing) or permethrin (on clothing and gear). Repellents containing 20% or more DEET (N,N-diethyl-mtoluamide) can be applied to the skin, and they can protect up to several hours. Always follow product instruction. Parents should apply repellents to their children, taking care to avoid application to hands, eyes, and mouth. Products containing permethrin can be used to treat boots, clothing, and camping gear. Items treated with certain products can remain protective through several washings. Check your body for ticks after being outdoors, even in your own back yard. Conduct a body check upon arrival from potentially tick-infected areas by searching your entire body for ticks. Take extra precautions during the Spring, Summer, and Fall, when ticks are most active, checking in and around the hair and ears, under the arms, inside the belly button, around the waist, between the legs, and the back of the knees. Check pets in and around the ears,
around the eyelids, under the collar, under the front legs, between the back legs, between the toes, and around the tail. Use a hand-held full-length mirror to view all parts of your body and remove any tick you find. To remove a tick: • Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. • Pull upward with steady, even pressure to remove the tick. Avoid twisting or jerking. • Clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, iodine scrub, or soap and water.
• Remove the tick as soon as possible. • If tick mouthparts remain in the skin, leave them alone. In most cases, they will fall out in a few days. • Don’t use nail polish, petroleum jelly, or a hot match to make the tick detach. • If you develop a rash or fever within several weeks of removing a tick, see your doctor. Be sure to tell your doctor about your recent tick bite, when the bite occurred, and where you most likely acquired the tick. Even if you don’t remember being bitten by a tick, an unexpected summer fever or odd rash may be the first signs of tick-borne disease, particularly if
you’ve been in a tick habitat. See your health care provider if these symptoms develop. Prevent family pets from bringing ticks into the house by limited their access to tick-infested areas and by using veterinarian-prescribed tick collars or spot-on treatment. Create Tick-Safe Zones in your yard. Keep patios, play areas, and playground equipment away from shrubs, bushes, and other vegetation. Regularly move leaf litter, clear tall grasses and brush around your home, and place wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas to keep ticks away from recreational areas (and away from you) • Use a chemical control agent. Effective tick control chemicals are available from use by the homeowner, or they can be applied by a professional pest control expert. • Discourage deer. Deer are the main food source for adult ticks. Keep deer away from your home by removing plants that attract deer and by constructing physical barriers that may discourage deer from entering your yard and bringing ticks with them. A vaccine for Lyme disease is not currently available.
United States Department of Agriculture drops oral rabies vaccine bait In an effort to mitigate the spread of rabies, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Wildlife Services Program will be dropping Oral Rabies Vaccine (ORV) bait to immunize wild raccoons in Eastern Ohio counties. Baiting was to occur in Carroll, Columbiana, Harrison, Stark, and Tuscarawas counties. The bait drops occurred during the day
between June 2 and June 9, (weather permitting) by low flying fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. Please note: • Instruct children to leave the baits alone. • The baits are not harmful to pets, however, it is recommended to keep dogs and cats inside or on leashes for up to five days after baiting occurs to give raccoons and other wildlife an opportunity to eat
the baits. Most baits disappear within 24 hours. • Do not try to remove the bait from a pet’s mouth to avoid potential injury. • Anyone handling baits should wear gloves. If baits are found in areas frequented by pets or children, toss them into deeper ground cover. Damaged baits can be disposed of in the trash. • If a person is exposed to the liquid vaccine within the bait, thoroughly wash
exposed skin with soap and warm water. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Environmental Health Director Courtney Grossman at the Carroll County General Health District at 330627-4866, ext. 1562, or the Bureau of Infectious Diseases, Zoonotic Disease Program at 614-752-1029 or email us at zoonoses@odh.ohio.gov.

Private George Ruchman of Grant Town, WV, shot blindly in the undergrowth and in fifty yards killed 18 Japanese. Sgt. Baker fired at ranges as close as five yards until his ammo ran out.

over 25,000 Japanese had been killed. The Americans lost 2,359 killed in action, 11,481 wounded and 1,213 missing. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, while self-sacrifice is the highest rule of love. Those patriots who fought the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the battle of Saipan answered the call of their country out of love. They sacrificed themselves so their country would remain free and their families safe from the atrocities of war. Please keep all of our service men and women and their families in your prayers.
