CADIZ – Wednesday’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting produced some massive news regarding the long-awaited paving of Conotton Creek Trail. Commissioner Paul Coffland read Agreement, (2-21) called the LPA Non-Federal Local Let Project Agreement between The Ohio Department of Transportation

HARRY HORSTMAN (ODOT) and the Harrison County Commissioners.

Under the agreement’s purpose, this allows ODOT to enter into contracts and “coordinate its activities” with other public entities “to administer the design, qualification of bidders, competitive bid letting, construction, inspection, and acceptance of any projects administered by ODOT.” “The Conotton Creek Trail paving project is a transportation activity

County sees COVID case reduction

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The COVID cases that have racked up triple digit counts for the past two weeks finally fell off, but not by very much. at the Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting Wednesday, Health Administrator Garen Rhome announced 763 total cases, which was up from last week’s 698. Rhome added an additional nine cases by Thursday afternoon totaling the number for the week to 772 making it 70 cases since last week. That is still down from the more than 120 cases seen for two consecutive weeks.

Rhome said presumed recovered now stood at 547 with 50 additional recoveries and the active case count dropped down to 206 from 253.

Rhome did report another death, which brings the county total to 13.

Commissioner Don Bethel asked when the holiday spike may rear its ugly head but Rhome said that it hasn’t been as bad as some may think, or expected so far.

“You know, we learned from Thanksgiving and Christmas that it only took a couple days sometimes before it would start impacting,” Rhome explained. He added that in some cases it only takes several days before the “rollout starts to come.”

“Thankfully we haven’t really seen a lot of fallout…” he said, though noting some of the expected results from Thanksgiving, which showed in the past several week’s numbers.

“We had a few incidents from Christmas [and] we understand that’s going to happen too. But we really didn’t have a large impact, at least, from those gatherings,” he said referring to the holidays. He said it was unfortunate that people still continue to gather in larger numbers than are unwelcomed that result in ballooning the COVID numbers and quarantines as well.

Rhome said the county was still averaging 10 to 11 cases per day with the key indicators that continue to keep Harrison County in the Redalert status, as is the case with most Ohio counties for now. He said the additional recent death from COVID was not affiliated with a long-term care facility, though he

would need to double check on that.

Rhome said the contact tracing procedures have gotten very good and running smoothly. He said additional help was called in from the Ohio Department of Health when they would hit a surge.

Regarding the vaccination rollout, he said that was “going well” from his perspective but would like to see “more uptake.” He said more interest from people in wanting to get the vaccination who are eligible is encouraged.

“If you’re eligible for it, if it’s available to you we want you to say, ‘you know, yes, I’ll take it’ or call us and ask more questions,” Rhome explained. He said the next phase of vaccinations and since the last few weeks, he said they have been deluged with calls inquiring about vaccine availability.

The good news there is there is significant interest among that population,” he said among adults above 65. “They understand this, they trust the safety, efficacy [and] we’ve been down this road a few times with various vaccinations in their past when they were younger.

They’re ready. They’re ready to get on board, get vaccinated, stay safe, and try to get back to normal here, get out of the house and start living a little bit here.”

He said what they do know is Phase 1 is for adults over 65 “across the board.” And that means everyone in that age group regardless of health issues, which he said would include around two to three million people in Ohio. He also said adults in schools are also included in that Phase 1 distributing, which included teachers, bus drivers, administrators and cooks for example.

Rhome said Gov. Mike DeWine has identified March 1 as a goal in getting students back to class in normal, full time fashion.

For the fatality ratio, the world level remained at 2.1 percent from last week. In the United States that number dropped by a tenth to 1.6 percent. Ohio still remains at 1.2 percent and Pennsylvania (2.4) and West Virginia (1.5) also remained the same as last week.

eligible to receive federal funding and which is further defined as HAS Conotton Creek Trail,” per the agreement read by Coffland.

The Conotton Creek Trail, which was created back in 2001 from an old rail line, has waited now for 20 years to have this makeover, said President of the Conotton Creek Trail, Harry Horstman by phone Thursday.

“I’m so excited I can’t hardly hold myself,” he said. Horstman and wife Dee Ann have been passionate supporters of the trail life and now they and the local community will finally see it fixed the way they feel it deserves.

Horstman said he is pushing for a fine

TRAIL

From PG. 1 “top coat” finish instead of the rough brand sometimes seen on these trails. He said rollerbladers like to skate in the summer and the rough surfaces, as it is now, make that difficult.

Coffland stated the cost as a little over $1 million with ODOT providing the LPA “95 percent of the eligible costs, up to a maximum of $950,000.”

Harrison County Engineer Doug Bachman explained the timeline as being “sold” sometime this spring (“4th quarter of state fiscal year”) and hopefully the paving to be “finished by September.”

Commissioner Don Bethel noted the length everyone had been waiting for this to happen referring to 2016 when the grant application was first presented to the commissioners.

Coffland and Horstman both noted the amount of people that flocked to the trail, even amid the COVID crisis where Coffland called it “amazing.”

Commissioner Dale Norris, speaking via teleconference, also voiced his pleasure at seeing the project get done.

“We were seeing citizens on the trail like you can’t believe,” Horstman said. He added that private donations have also come in from the Akron area in the amount of $500 earlier last year and just Thursday, an individual from Lakewood sent

in a check for $200. The trail is over 11 miles and extends from Jewett to Bowerston.

“And like I said, we’ve been waiting on this for sometime,” Bethel said. “I’m just really appreciative that engineer Bachman stepped right up where Robby (former county engineer Rob Sterling) left off and took this across the finish line.” But noted that they are not quite there yet as far as the finished product goes.

Another agreement (1-21) and also under the LPA Non-Federal Local Let Project Agreement and “acting by and through the county engineer,” involves the paving to two Harrison roads.

Coffland stated the estimated cost at $680,786 and “ODOT shall provide to the LPA, 100 percent of the eligible costs, up to a maximum of $500,000 in state funds.” The agreement also goes on to state that the LPA is to provide “all other financial resources” for completing the project “including all cost overruns and contractor claims.”

Bachman explained this agreement, which resulted from his office applying for grants dating back to last year.

“This is for the local roads oil and shale applications that we applied for last year,” Bachman explained. “The grant goes towards paving County Road 43 and County Road 17 outside Scio.”

Both agreements were approved.

Jewett wrestles with ODOT contract

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – An issue that was raised at the last meeting of 2020 started back up in the first meeting of the new year.

Council Member Rick Meneely raised the issue both times concerning their road contract with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the village’s responsibility for Ohio roads 151 and 9 inside village limits.

Council, which did not make any decision at Wednesday evening’s meeting, agrees to renew the contract then everything remains as is with the village receiving a $3,000 stipend but anything beyond that they are responsible for.

Meneely feels it isn’t enough and costs the village money, but he isn’t the only one questioning it.

Village Solicitor Jenna Hokes was present and shared information she’d sought on the subject regarding two standing ordinances. She said the last Consent Ordinance passed by the village was back in January of 1992.

“…They have since revised their languages and of course the state laws have changed so they want us to sign new ones,” Hokes explained. “However, this is in two parts.” She said the first part allows ODOT to apply “standard longitudinal pavement markings, regulatory warning signs” on those state roads within the village limits.

She said the contract also allows ODOT to perform maintenance work on those same roads for removal of snow and ice.

“We have to sign the portion of the agreement that says ‘we consent to them putting up the markings,’” Hokes said after Meneely said ODOT would still be responsible for those state roads even if council did not agree to the amended contract. Hokes, speaking of the second part said that the village was not currently under contract with ODOT. She told council that ODOT is offering a contract stating their responsibility of removing snow and ice but the village would be responsible for fixing damages caused by the snow and ice removal, such as

potholes she gave as an example.

“So the problem with these is, if we want them to remove snow and ice from the state highways, we have to say that we’ll fix any potholes that they cause,” Hokes told council.

Meneely stated he didn’t feel that would “hold up” nor would it cost the village much “to make a pass down through town,” referring to removing the snow and ice themselves. He said they were looking at a cost of around $30,000 to $40,000 for that work “at least.”

“We’re responsible right now,” he continued, “if we don’t enter into that agreement they’re responsible for all repairs on the road.” He gave examples of some of those responsibilities as storm drains and anything that affects the roads. Hokes said the village would still need to give ODOT consent to cross village roads for access to the state roads but also, if the contract is not signed then the $3,000 stipend goes away.

“So we have to grant them that easement but we don’t have to enter into the agreement with them regarding the snow removal and all that stuff,”

Hokes explained. Meneely felt the village should absolve itself from all responsibilities concerning those state roads within the village. Other villages in the county have already agreed to signing a contract with ODOT, including Hopedale where not much discussion or objection was made in those communities.

“I’m saying that we need to get out of the deal where we’re responsible for the roads,” Meneely repeated. “If there’s an accident here or something…or we have a storm sewer and we have to dig a bunch of the state route up, we have to eat it all.

Right now they have to repair it.

We fix the lines they got to repair it.”

Council Member Dennis Hirschbach questioned who owns the storm drains, ODOT or the village, regarding legality.

Meneely said it’s the village’s line but if the water is not directed away as designed then it could damage the road. Hokes felt the storm drains would be the village’s responsibility but told council she would need to discuss the issue further with ODOT officials.

Area family pays tribute to veterans with Wreaths Across America

By ESTHER MCCOY ADENA - "Be an American Worth Fighting For" is the theme of the Wreaths Across America mission to show families of our nation's heroes how important their sacrifices were to those who stayed behind through the many wars.

Numerous cemeteries in the TriState Area were among the more than 2,000 where ceremonies were held Dec. 19. That included St. Casimir Cemetery, where 14 members of the Roger and Donna Sliva family of Adena, some of whom came from Columbus and Ronanoak, Va., volunteered.

The cemetery, located on county Road 6, opened in 1908, and holds the remains of 38 veterans and many of the residents who attended the St. Carimir Church. Sliva is a Vietnam veteran and some family members proudly have worn a uniform of one of the Armed Forces.

The grounds looked calm and serene when the Sliva family arrived before noon to rearrange the crisp red bows on their wreaths and lay them on the graves of veterans.

Before the search for the graves began, Roger Sliva made a semicircle in the snow where his children and grandchildren stood and said "This is the place where we come to remember, honor and respect our veterans," He did a reading and as directed, seven of his children or grandchildren walked up to a standing wreath and gave a reading.

Msgr John Kolesar prayed for the families of those who were left behind and offered blessings to all who now serve and those who had gathered to show their respect.

The wreaths that were prayed over were placed on graves of those who had served in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant

Marines, as well as the POWs & MIAs. "Modifications had to be made to ensure the continuance of National Wreaths Across American Day and to show the families of our nation's heroes just how much their sacrifices meant," Sliva said.

Along with volunteers nationwide, Roger and Donna, along with their children and grandchildren, volunteered to lay the wreaths consistent with safety and in compliance with local COVID-19 recommendations and mandates. That included wearing masks and gloves, staying socially distanced, limiting the number of visitors and volunteers and holding a smaller ceremony.

"This was not the best year, and under the present circumstances, for more to participate. But hopefully, in the

future, other families will be able to sponsor wreaths and volunteer to pay their respects at St.Casimir Cemetery making

certain that their families, loved ones and heroes get honored and remembered for the holidays, "Sliva explained.

Hannah Ligenfelder, and Paula, Nathan and Noah Lucas of Richmond, helped place wreaths during a "Wreaths Across America" event, sponsored by Roger and Donna Sliva, with Sliva being a veteran of the Vietnam War at the St. Casimir Cemetery in Adena.

Jewett police chief Conservation continues announces two arrests under MWCD amid COVID

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – During Wednesday’s Jewett council meeting, Police Chief Ron Carter announced two disturbing arrests made recently involving a weapon and crystal meth. The first arrest, made on Dec. 31 by officer McMahon was conducted at around 6 p.m. when a traffic stop on Rumley Street resulted in the arrest of Shawn Ramsey, 42, of Scio.

McMahon, after speaking with Ramsey, noticed a small plastic bag consistent with “items” consistent with drugs used in sales. McMahon also discovered multiple warrants out on Ramsey and he was then handcuffed. That’s when the Ramsey admitted to having two syringes in his pocket, which followed the admission of more syringes and a scale used for drugs underneath the passenger seat.

McMahon then discovered a bowl containing a “crushed white substance” which led to Ramsey admitting to it being crystal meth, according to Carter.

Ramsey was taken to the Harrison County jail and his vehicle impounded.

Jewett Police Chief Ron Carter holds up a 10 millimeter Rock Island pistol confiscated from a Canton resident stopped on Jan. 2 by Jewett police officer McMahon. Carter made the announcement along with an arrest involving crystal meth and a Scio resident at Wednesday’s council meeting.

The second arrest involved a 10 millimeter Rock Island pistol leading to the arrest of Talon Lee Harper, 26, of Canton. Officer McMahon also conducted this arrest, which was made on Jan. 2 at around 11:55 p.m., after stopping Harper in his 2015 red Chevy truck. McMahon noticed “certain behaviors” emanating from Harper then spotted the handgun where the suspect had “direct access” to the firearm beside him on the seat. The weapon, which was loaded, was seized where it was emptied of

ammunition and placed into an evidence bag.

Harper was cited for a stop sign violation and improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle. He also had no carryconceal license for the firearm.

Carter said they are seeking forfeiture of the pistol.

Both Carter and McMahon stated they will not tolerate drugs and this kind of action to pass through their village, as they continue to protect the citizens of Jewett.

Ohio’s muzzleloader season results COLUMBUS – Ohio’s white-tailed deer hunters completed the 2021 muzzleloader season with 9,708 deer checked from Saturday, Jan. 2 to Tuesday, Jan. 5, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Over the last three years, an average of 12,695 deer were taken during the same four-day period.

During the weeklong and extra weekend of deer-gun season, 86,853 deer were checked by Ohio hunters. In total, 102,672 deer were harvested with a gun, including muzzleloaders, during the 2020-2021 gun hunting seasons. Over the last three years, hunters harvested an average of 90,722 deer during the three gun hunting seasons.

The total number of deer taken in Ohio during all 20202021 hunting seasons is 187,883, with one month remaining to hunt with archery equipment. That number has already surpassed last season’s final tally of 184,468.

“Deer hunters have taken advantage of Ohio’s abundant deer population and found success this year, and the muzzleloader season was no exception,” said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker.

“Hunting with a muzzleloader is rooted in history, while modern advances will satisfy even the most tech savvy hunters. We are pleased that so many Ohioans continue to enjoy this hunting season.”

Top 10 counties for deer harvested during the 2021 muzzleloader season include: Coshocton (367), Tuscarawas (344), Licking (290), Guernsey (279), Muskingum (263), Meigs (260), Knox (256), Carroll (249), Holmes (243), and Ashtabula (238).

Deer hunting occurs in all 88 counties and an estimated 310,000 hunters participated during Ohio’s deer-gun seasons. Ohio hunters have purchased 398,190 deer permits through Jan. 5. There is still time to pursue deer in Ohio, as archery season remains open through Sunday, Feb. 7. Hotspots for deer hunting are found mostly in the eastern regions, including Ashtabula, Coshocton, Tuscarawas, Muskingum, Guernsey, and Knox counties.

Each year, the number of deer taken with archery equipment continues to grow, while gun hunting also remains popular.

Beginning in September, Ohio archery hunters have taken 85,211 deer, or 45% of the harvest.

Muzzleloaders accounted for 9% of deer taken (15,973 deer for all gun seasons). Ohio’s youth hunters checked 5,795 whitetails during the two-day youth season, Nov. 21-22, 2020.

Deer hunters are reminded to download the HuntFish OH mobile app, which allows hunters to check in their deer while in the field, even without a Wi-Fi connection. When a hunter checks game without a clear signal, harvest information is recorded and stored until the hunter moves to a location with better reception. Users can also purchase licenses and permits and view wildlife area maps through the app. HuntFish OH is free and available for Android and iOS users through the app store.

The mission of the Division of Wildlife is to conserve and improve fish and wildlife resources and their habitats for sustainable use and appreciation by all. Visit wildohio.gov to find out more.

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Closing up the year the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) hosted a rather long meeting via videoconference last month.

Chief of Conservation Brad Janssen addressed the Ohio Lake Management Society (OLMS) Clam monitoring program designed to monitor the MWCD’s lakes for water quality.

Janssen reminded the board how challenging the year it was and after holding an end of year meeting with the group that “fifty-five sampling events” did take place and he thanked all the volunteers that participated.

Janssen said they were able to “utilize” the reports in their water quality group. He especially thanked the Program Coordinator, Susan James where she recently received the OLMS Society President’s Award, according to Janssen.

“And it just further goes to show that it lends a lot of merit [and] gives us the confidence and the organization of confidence in that program, so it is a great program,” Janssen stated. He added that they assisted Pleasant Hill Lake Park in installing a Bald Eagle and two Osprey platforms and again handed out applause to Louis

Andres, the naturalist at Pleasant Hill State Park, calling him an “asset.”

Regarding the near-final Utica royalty report of the year Janssen stated that an increase of 16 percent was seen. He said new wells at Clendening were responsible for the October number jumping from $511,900 to more than $592,000 in November.

“We are starting back it looks like on a slight upward trend so, it is encouraging going into the end of this year…” Janssen said as they move into 2021.

“Hopefully we’ll continue to see things continue to rebound, especially as vaccinations and other world events or national events occur that could affect those commodity prices.”

Janssen said they were being “cautiously optimistic” for a rebound for the coming year.

MWCD Executive Director Craig Butler noted that just since their November meeting, one of their drilling companies that work mostly around Clendening, Gulfport, declared bankruptcy. He said they have secured financing and are in the midst of reorganizing.

“One, to stay operational [and] two, to stay there actively… fracking wells and in other areas,” Butler explained, “and they’re expecting to come out of bankruptcy much leaner.” He said they expect to shave off

around $2 billion and be a “player” in the shale play business once again. He said the MWCD was following up on that news in order to help Gulfport in some way.

“But also assure ourselves that they were ready and financed well enough to meet whatever obligations that they would have, either for us or others including environmental,” Butler explained adding that Gulfport had given the MWCD “assurances” that they were doing exactly what they said they were doing and expect to come out of this even stronger.

Butler called it good news for the District.

Director of Marketing and Communications Adria Bergeron stated they hope to continue the momentum from 2020 in the camping and marina areas. She said typically they don’t spend the effort in winter advertising as is done for the summer months but that is to change with the cabins at Pleasant Hill.

“We are still running ads throughout the winter months to promote those and increase reservations for that,” Bergeron said. She also said the PWM (Partners in Watershed Management) grants that were not heavily promoted in the past will begin to get more attention.

PAST & CURRENT ISSUES iN LAW AFFECTiNG OUR HOME iN HARRiSON COUNTY

New Year, New Decisions: Ohio’s Marketable Title Act & Dormant Mineral Act in Oil and Gas Title

By Attorney Kate Knight Kimble

M

any Ohioans, especially people in our area, have become intimately familiar with various issues related to oil and gas over the last decade or so.

Two issues often discussed in articles, on the internet, and in the courts (maybe even on the street, depending on where you travel and the company you keep) over the several years have been how the Ohio Marketable Title Act (MTA) and/or the Ohio Dormant Mineral Act (DMA) apply to severed mineral interests in our state, and what effort is necessary to identify and notify holders of a severed mineral interest if a surface owner intends to utilize the DMA. In two recent decisions, the Ohio Supreme Court shed light on these issues in two cases from our district: West v. Bode and Gerrity v. Chervenak. West v.

Bode involved the ways in which the MTA and/or DMA apply to severed mineral interests and Gerrity v.

Chervenak involved the requirements to identify and

notify holders of a several mineral interest when using the DMA process. This month’s article discusses West – look forward to reading more about Gerrity in next month’s Take.

First, before we can dive too deeply into the Ohio Supreme Court’s recent decision in West v. Bode, we must briefly talk about what it means to have a severed mineral interest. If you are an avid reader, you will remember the month when we talked about property rights being sticks and cakes. If you are not a regular reader, that will sound crazy, but stay with us. A severed mineral interest is exactly what is sounds like – it is created when one individual or entity reserves, exceptions, holds on to, or otherwise severs a mineral interest from the rest of the property. As you may know, and as we will discuss in future articles, Ohio’s legislature has made processes by which issues with title can sometimes be cured by time or other acts by an owner. That brings us to the MTA and the DMA. West v. Bode involves a dispute over a severed mineral interest.

In West, the Ohio Supreme Court was asked to decide whether the more specific DMA supersedes the more general

MTA as the law that controls reuniting severed mineral interests with the surface. The Supreme Court determined that there is no irreconcilable conflict between the MTA and the DMA and therefore both Acts can effectively terminate a severed mineral interest depending on the circumstances of an individual case.

If you are interested in severed mineral interests and the current state of Ohio law, check out next month’s article for a further discussion of the Ohio Supreme Court’s recent decision on requirements when utilizing the DMA process.

Good News

By Pastor Ken Staley: Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches

A watched pot never boils Patience is a virtue. We’ve heard all the cool quotes and still our unspoken attitude is sometimes, “Lord, I want patience and I want it now!” If Covid-19 has taught us anything it has shown us that we are not a very patient people.

Now, that’s not all bad. I mean, who wants to live in a society of slugs who are content to do nothing? I’ve lost count of how many folks I’ve heard say, “When this mess is over, I’m going to…..”

You can fill in the blank.

I’ve contributed to the lamenting myself. Whether we are forced to live the patient life or initiate it ourselves, it can be downright difficult.

Patience really is a virtue.

Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait on the Lord!” The cost of not waiting can be more than we want to pay.

Consider Abraham, God’s friend, who was told that he would have a son in his old

age. Abe got some unwise counsel from the Mrs. and the rest is history, two races of people who have never been able to pull it together, and all the world has suffered along with them because of one inpatient decision.

What if Abraham had had more patience? And then there’s Moses. He was going to be the one God used to deliver Israel but his passion to deliver lacked patience when he defended a fellow Israelite and killed an Egyptian. He got ahead of God’s timing and God’s better method to deliver. Isaiah put patience in perspective when he said, “Since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him!”

While we wait and exercise patience, God is carrying out His plan.

After the death and resurrection of Jesus, the disciples were told to wait for God’s new plan to kick in. I’m glad they did. Can you

imagine the chaos and total lack of ministry success if the disciples had reasoned in their own thinking, “Ah c’mon, let’s get this show on the road!”

Instead, the ministry of the Holy Spirit started right on time and right where God wanted it to.

I could go on about Joseph unjustly imprisoned in Egypt waiting for his release, Noah building the first-ever cruise ship and enduring the mocking, “Rain! What’s rain?”

David running from Saul and patiently enduring through the years until the appointed time came for him to be king.

With patience comes the need to endure. We endure long before we see results and after we endure comes joy.

Hebrews 10:36 is a verse we all need to take to heart, “Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.”

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy I am seated at the computer, my hand on the keys and my mind in a "lights out" situation.

I can't think of a word to put on this screen. Mrs. Octa Foster, my journalism teacher, always told us, "If you can't think of anything worthwhile to say, write something that isn't. Just so you put something down on paper."

If truth be known, I am thinking of what to prepare for dinner. I have been cooking two meals a day, Lamont gets his own breakfast before he hurries up to" Rick Pastre's Gathering Place,” for a better cup of coffee than he gets at home, to hear the gossip of the day. So, that eliminates my dilemma for one meal. I stand before the freezer, refrigerator or cupboard and try

to put a meal together in my mind since COVID-19 became the letters and numbers on everybody's mind. Before that I could always say, "I just don't feel like cooking tonight. Can we go to Caparo’s?"

When the coffee session is over, usually an hour of the day, he comes in and I ask, "What was the gossip of the day?" "Nothing much," he replies and takes a cup of my coffee into the living room to read a sports magazine.

Days later, I will hear from one of the coffee drinker's wives about something important that was discussed in the township.

Our Alumni Association is working on a date for our 2021 recognition banquet. We honor a graduate who has done something worthy of notice in their occupation, club or neighborhood for its betterment. It is called The Mary Sutherland Award. She was third grade teacher at Smithfield Elementary for 50 years and you came out of her class at the end of the year with a respect of education.

Then there is the Octa Foster Spirit Award for a graduate, who has worked with or at a youth sports organization, served as an umpire or referee for youth games or provided equipment or transportation to games. Mrs. Foster was a teacher who would get onto the stage at pep rallies and march across the floor clapping and repeating a cheer that everyone was yelling. She pushed for good grades along with that education and taking part in school organizations and plays.

This column looks short but words are now failing me so I should just say Adios until I dig up some valuable news. Happy New Year and keep wearing your mask and try to become acquainted with the soft muffled talk that we all produce while wearing our masks.

DEERSVILLE

By Susan Adams Congratulations to Noah Strickler for earning his Boy Scouts First Class Rank within his first year as a Boy Scout. For this he received a certificate, a patch and a really cool #1 metal pin to proudly wear on his uniform. Noah also earned his Community Citizenship merit badge. He wants to thank everyone that helped him earn this badge either by talking with him on the phone, answering questions via text, allowing him to attend a meeting or allowing him to complete his volunteer hours with a non profit organization. He is extremely

grateful to Susan Adams, Jason and Angie Bosler, Laura Peters, Karen and Dick Huff and Lauren Knight. Noah is the son of Tom and Amy Strickler of rural Deersville.

January 11th, Monday at 10AM the Woody-Paul Blanket Mission will meet in the Fellowship Hall of the Deersville UM Church. Covid regulations will be followed. Masks required. Hand sanitizer will be available. A sack lunch will follow for anyone who wants to stay.

Deersville UM Church is holding regular services on Sunday at 11AM. Social distancing is being recognized and masks and hand sanitizer are available. One can also watch the service on Facebook.

I haven't gone to the church for the last couple of Sundays and feel really blessed that I could watch and listen to the service via Facebook. Thank you to those who make that possible.

Please support all the local businesses. They are the people who support our children and civic groups. Some Deersville businesses are: The Stand on US 250 by Coultrap's 330-2049407; Deersville General Store 740-827-4203; Bosler's Honey Bees and Accessories 330-4015889 and the Hayseeds Homesteader Trading Post 740491-2835. Stop at the Deersville General Store and get something to eat and some ice cream, stop at Bosler's and take a jar of honey home, stop to pick out some treasurers at the Hayseeds Homesteader Trading Post. Don't forget to stop at "The Stand" and try some of their delicious food. It would be a good idea to call "ahead" and make sure they are open or make arrangements to stop by during this winter season.

Please keep all of those on the sick and recovery list in your prayers. Also the shut-in's.

Reach out with cards and calls.

It will make you both feel good.

Something that makes me feel good, every time I open the Deersville General Store up on Facebook I see little Harper Devore. She is just so darn cute and makes one smile no matter what their mood.

HC 7th graders beat Jets 60-35 The seventh grade Husky boys played recently at the Hanger at Union Local. The Huskies led at the end of each quarter en route to a 26-23 victory.

CADIZ - The Harrison Central girls’ varsity basketball team accommodated a pair of home games during the recent holiday break. The first of the contests was a win over Toronto, while the second was an overtime loss to St. Clairsville.

Prior to the Tuesday night game, the Huskies recognized the three senior members of the squad. Audrey Corder, Danyel Beadling and Britton Positano were all paraded and recognized and presented gifts from their team members.

In opening the contest, Harrison defeated the Toronto Lady Knights by a score of 54 37. The Husky starters performed well in the win, as they scored 12 points in the opening quarter, 11 in the second, 9 in the third and 21 in the closing act.

McKayla Dunkle would pace the Huskies with 18 points.

Britton Positano remained constant with a 13-point performance, Audrey Corder offered 9 points to the win, Maddy Butler had 8 points and MacKenzie Harbold had 6 points. The junior varsity lost to Toronto by a score of 24 - 20.

Ang Ferri had 6 points, Kaylan Ledger had 3 points, Danica Rensi had 4, Maggy Goudi 4.

On Wednesday evening, a 24point performance by Dunkle and a second straight 13-point performance by Positano, were not enough to get by the Lady Red Devils of St. Clairsville. The Huskies would hold a comfortable lead three times in the contest, but the feisty Devils twisted their way back in the mix of things. The third and fourth quarters became a game of ‘who wants it’ and the final

On Tuesday, the Lady Husky varsity basketball team celebrated the three senior members of the 2020-21 squad. Pictured prior to the varsity contest with Toronto are senior Britton Positano, Head girls’ basketball coach Nick Yourkovich, and seniors Danyel Beadling and Audrey Corder.

The Huskies went on to win the Toronto contest by a score of 54 - 37

horn reflected a 39-point knotted score.

The overtime play was like that of the third and fourth periods, with the Red Devils prevailing at the horn by a score of 45 - 44.

Corder finished with 5 points and Butler 2. The junior varsity lost by a score of 31 - 20. Ferri had 6 points, Rensi had 7 points, Ema Fischer 5 points and Goudi had 2.

The following Monday Union Local was in Cadiz to take on the Huskies. The reserve team would open the evening with a 31 - 24 win over the visitors, but the varsity would have to face a much bigger challenge from a

team that had only loss one game so far during their 202021 campaign and had already defeated the Huskies on the road. Looking back on the opening two to three minutes of the contest, the Huskies were ready to do battle, but the giant they faced in those few minutes had already raised its unpleasant head. While Harrison’s offense resembled a six-shooter with only three bullets, the Jets did their thing and closed the first quarter with an 18 - 9 lead.

From there the writing was on the wall, and the only question remaining was, how bad will it be? The first half ended 41 - 15,

and the third quarter closed with a 33-point spread, while the ending left a 73 - 22 final score.

Positano had 6 points, Dunkle had 7, Corder 4 and Beadling 3.

For the junior varsity Danica Rensi caught fire and scored 11 points. Rensi’s 11 points would be a game high finish. Emma Fischer and Ang Ferri both scored 7 points for the Huskies and Kallie Lewis scored 6 points. Lewis would also shine on defense, as she muscled her way through the boards on both sides of the ball.

Harrison Central bowlers roll against East Liverpool The Harrison Central bowlers played against East Liverpool at Valie Lanes. The varsity girls score was H.C. 1893 - E.L. 1727. High individual scores Tory Thompson 176 & 225, Aleyna Runevitch 188 & 177, Cami Basich 185 & 150, Lauren Best 169, Karlea Thompson 131.

The girls record is now 7-0 on the season.

The varsity boys team score H.C. 2446 - E.L. 2427. High individual scores - Trevor Thompson 245 & 210, Lane Harding 231 & 181, Zachary Keyser 218 & 179, Nathan Willis 213 & 193, Peyton Lewis

198 & 179. The boys record is 6-1 on the season (loss to E.L. at Walnut Lanes).

Head coach Katie Parkinson said, “I want to give a shout out to the six bowlers on both girls and boys teams. It takes all six of you to get the win, and I am very thankful and proud of you all.”

The next time the Husky bowlers will be in action is Monday, Jan. 11 at the Buckeye 8 Tournament at St. Clair Lanes. Due to COVID restrictions, no fans will be able to attend in person, but the team hopes to go live for all to watch.
