Jason Miller new Dalton baseball coach

By Ariel Stahler
Gazette & News sports writer

Jason Miller has been named Dalton High School’s next varsity baseball coach. Miller will take over the role previously held for the last decade by Scott Huth, who resigned from the position in July.
“Jason’s work ethic and his ability to connect with and mentor our student-athletes are truly exceptional,” said Dalton superintendent Steve Watkins. “We are confident that he will continue to build on the strong tradition of excellence in our baseball program.”
Miller is a graduate of DHS and he has been involved with the district for 26 years. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in 7-12 education from Malone University, as well as a master’s degree in education administration from Ashland University. Miller has served as a coach at various levels at Dalton, including freshman, JV and varsity baseball and middle school and varsity football. In addition to coaching, Miller is an educator in the science department at DHS.
“Dalton Local Schools looks forward to the continued growth and success of its baseball program under Coach Miller’s leadership,” said Watkins. “The district is eager to support him as he begins this new chapter and prepares the team for the upcoming season.”

Take-a-deep-breath Tuesday - we just made that up it’s not a thing 😁- but do take a breath, turn up the sound to listen to the birds, and enjoy this half a minute of Zen. Do you know where we are? 😌

Living in the moment in beautiful Wayne County

Your mid-week moment of Zen. Take a deep breath and listen to the birds. Do you know where we are? 😌

Kidron Touch a Truck

Checking out the Kidron Touch A Truck going on until 2pm June 8th. Barberton arts and music festival is 12-7pm if you are looking for something to do on this beautiful Saturday in Wayne and Summit counties! ☀️ 🛻🗞️

Carson Steiner Regional champion 14’ clearance. The second highest vault in Dalton history! He went for 14’4 to try to break the school record of 14’3 from 1979. The last time Dalton had a boy vaulter qualify for the state meet was in 2007.. Carson was only a 1-year-old then! 🤣 (Thanks Coach Legan for the info!)

… and a drum battle broke out! Every year, Jim and Michele Madison pick an organization for the cruise-in to benefit. The Dalton Music Boosters benefited but so did the crowd as volunteers prepared food, sold snacks for donation and students and alums provided great entertainment!

… and there was dancing at Jim’s Cruise-In ….

It poured! ☔️ But the sun ⛅️ came out enough for a nice lineup of Jeeps and about 35-40 cars and trucks at Jim’s Cruise In Friday. And the music was fantastic!

This just in: Carson Steiner, Dalton senior, WCAL champ in pole vault with a jump of 13 feet (matched his personal best!)

Accident at Rt. 57 and Fulton Rd. just before 8:00 p.m.

If you can disregard the unprofessional sound of breathing made by one of our staff members doing her best in the cold rain taking video on her cellphone 😂 and you turn up the volume, you hear the soothing raindrops falling ☔️ , the sound of a horse traveling down the road (almost a one-horse open sleigh!) 🐴 and if you listen very very carefully - the faintest sound of Christmas music. Anyway, add the Hewitts house to your twinkle tour stop just outside Mt. Eaton at 8004 Mt Eaton Road S and read more in this week’s paper! 🎄🗞️
