Scio receives large ODOT grant, fills open seat

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com SCIO – The long sought-after Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) grant the village of Scio was after finally came through, which was announced by Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh at their Wednesday meeting. The funds have been highly anticipated for use in fixing the Ohio 646 intersection just across the bridge that leads to E. College Street.

A letter from ODOT stated that the funds came from the Local Roads Oil and Shale Program.

“This program will provide 100 percent of the eligible costs, up to a maximum of $500,000 utilizing State funds through the Local Roads Oil and Shale Program, for project award in State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2021,” the letter reads and signed by Jeffery Peyton, Local Projects Manager, Office of Local Programs.

Tubaugh reminded council as he has noted in the past that this is a 100 percent funded project with emphasis on “up to” the amount of $500,000.

“There will be a project scope meeting here forthcoming in the first quarter of 2020,” Tubaugh explained to council after conferring with ODOT District 11

representatives. He said the meeting will also be attended by the Thrasher Group, the architect and engineering group on the project, and after that he expects a “better timeline” for the project where funding is expected to be delivered from midsummer to the fall.

“We need to thank Jake (Tubaugh) for that five hundred thousand dollars,” Treasurer Trish Copeland said later in the meeting when the subject rose again.

Several other members chimed in with thanks including Mayor Michelle Carpenter that Tubaugh went “above and beyond” to pull in that funding for the village, which will now see that pesky

Commissioners see slight increase in 2020 budget

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – A 2019 budget that saw it creep just over $6.9 million was announced as $7.4 million and change for the 2020 budget at Wednesday’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting.

Commissioner Paul Coffland, while acknowledging the 2020 budget rose to around a half-million dollars from last year, noted that at the same time there was a “substantial increase” in the coverage of their health care.

“I think it’s a credit to all offices for keeping their budgets as tight as possible,” Coffland stated. “When you’re looking at approximately a three hundred ninety-thousand dollar increase in health care coverage, that’s not much of an increase in the overall budget on the bottom line.”

Commissioner Don Bethel agreed and also commented giving thanks to Misty Bailie, commissioner’s executive assistant and Administrative Assistant Stacy

Bossell for getting the information prepared and wrapped up.

The high of $11.6 million for the 2015 budget then saw a steady decline for the next three years where it dropped significantly in 2016 to $6.8 million, $6.2 million in 2017 then another slight decrease in 2018 at $6.1 million before jumping to the 2019 budget of $6.9 million.

This year’s largest individual categories are the commissioners themselves at $2.1 million-plus followed by the sheriff’s office at nearly $1.6 million. The rest of the departments are all within the $100,000 to $300,000 range with only one being above that at just over $490,000 for the prosecutor’s office.

Juvenile court, after lingering between $116,000 in 2015 to around $134,000 for the 2019 budget jumped a bit to more than $183,000 for the 2020 budget. County court also saw a slight increase of $32,000 and Veteran’s saw an increase over the 2019 budget of just short of $50,000 to more than $378,000 for 2020.

Commissioner Dale Norris also

announced the special revenue budget of $26 million, which is for specific purposes such as state or federal funds to be spent on a particular target, for example.

Some of those funds include the government center at over $200,000, Housing Trust Fund at $202,000, dog pound at $127,000 and numerous other accounts that are listed way less in the low four and five-figure range. People with Developmental Disabilities was the largest account, which is listed at a little more than $2.4 million. Still, there are others that also range in the six and seven figures with Jobs & Family Services at $3.1 million, gas tax at $5.7 million, Capital Improvements at $800,000, County Water District fund at $502,000, ambulance replacement at $200,000, block grant at $500,000 and the health department at just over $1 million to name a few.

“You worked above and beyond for that and we wouldn’t have got it without you… so thank you,” Carpenter said with others joining her in thanks.

Also, a village council seat that opened up when council member Heidi Trice began training for the treasurer’s position was finally filled. Kari Ann Salsberry, who had been attending meetings dating back to the late summer and early fall after coming up short in her bid to win election for one of the seats, was approved after a short executive session by council

members.

The vote was unanimous even though Carpenter revealed five letters of interest from four other individuals, including one from Salsberry. She was then sworn in and took her seat for the remainder of the meeting. Also, council member Andrew Turner was voted in (3-1) to return as council president.

Another item discussed was the Low-toModerate (LMI) study that the village submitted on time just recently. Tubaugh said basically it was a good-bad situation when informing council that the village

Commissioners to aid Freeport sewer system proposal

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The lack of a sanitary sewage system in the village of Freeport has led to drastic measures and now the Harrison County Commissioners are coming to the rescue with some funding that should provide a little relief to a new gravity system that will reach into the millions of dollars.

All three commissioners were present at Wednesday’s meeting and Commissioner Paul Coffland stated later that the underground gravity system, which he said means “fewer grinder pumps.” He said after looking at various systems “this was the cheapest.”

Commissioner Dale Norris read Resolution (1-20), which gives authorizes the county “to apply for, accept, and enter into a cooperative agreement for

design of a wastewater collection & treatment system for the village of Freeport.”

Norris later described the Wednesday meeting as an informational meeting, which was held with Freeport’s council and an EPA representative present. He said it was just to let them know where the commissioners stood in the process and “what they need to do to keep the process moving forward.”

The ordinance was read and passed as an emergency. No discussion followed the approval.

Harrison County Engineer Doug Bachman came to the commissioners with two resolutions, one being a bridge posting resolution (2-20) and the second a force account (320). Resolution (2-20) deals with posting load limits on bridges “where the safe carrying capacity is determined by the

Harrison County Engineer to be less than the load limits prescribed by law.”

The Force Account states that “the health, welfare, and safety of the general public can best and most efficiently be served by use of County employees and property in the construction, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance, or repair of roads, bridges, and culverts under the jurisdiction of the Harrison County Engineer.”

The resolution goes on to state that the engineer is authorized to employ the laborers, vehicles and the use of county employees and property while leasing tools and the purchase of materials as necessary.

Bachman also informed the board that for the “next three to four Sundays” superloads from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. will be accessing the MarkWest plant off of Giacobbi Road, as well as Green Township where Snyder

Road will not have the ability to turn east on to Ohio 151.

Also, Deb Knight and Director of the Harrison County Department of Jobs & Family Services appeared before the board to announce the contract extension for their bargaining unit.

“We reopened negotiations on wages with our bargaining unit and agreed on a three percent wage increase for the bargaining unit members,” Knight explained. She said the commissioners would have included in their information packets a resolution stating the terms, “as well as a three percent wage increase for nonbargaining unit members and a two percent wage increase for the director.”

Commissioner Dale Norris’s motion to approve addendum (37-17) for the employees was granted, as well as Resolution (4-20) for management.

Distinguished Veteran, Corporal Fred McGee Sr. passes away

By ESTHER MCCOY SMITHFIELD – On Jan. 3 at 1:30 a.m. at the Veterans Hospital in Pittsburgh, Corporal Fred B. McGee Sr. passed away. He died without knowing if valiant efforts by many had succeeded in getting him the Medal of Honor he so rightly deserved in his battle on Hill 528 in Korea.

He received a Silver Star for his bravery near Tang-Wan-Ni on June 16, 1952, but those who knew of his bravery in fighting on as a gunner from an exposed position, taking over when his squad leader was wounded and moving into a more exposed position.

Then his machine gunner was killed and he took over the gun. He ignored orders to withdraw and voluntarily remained and assisted his wounded comrades.

For this he received the Silver Star, not the deserved Medal of Honor. Those working towards correcting this feel that factual interpretation of what McGee

endured during the events lowered the level of his bravery in the testimony.

There are phrases omitted from the affidavits and field reports. The fact that he was wounded in the leg along with facial injuries was omitted.

And his returning fire by standing straight up was another act of bravery not mentioned. The corporal collapsed due to exhaustion and wounds by carrying his comrade 100 yards before realizing the soldier had died.

He carried a second wounded comrade to the rear through a large volume of mortar and artillery fire.

In the petition for the Medal of Honor, there is no mention that he was forced to withdraw due to heavy causalities, enemy automatic weapons fire, a superior number of enemies and a depletion of ammunition.

“These examples reveal evidence that many significant communications were negligently or deliberately excluded for the citation, influencing those

who determined the award to bestow,” said Barry Bardone of Bloomingdale who has gone to bat for him and wrote a beautiful story of McGee’s battles on June 16, 1952, and with trying to get the deserved Medal of Honor.

The battle will still go on through many Congressmen, Senators and others of influence to get the deserved Medal of Honor but it would have been so important to McGee to learn that that he received it.

“It is great but…I see both sides,” Tubaugh said where the percentage qualifies the village as being a positive but for the economic perspective, it does not reflect well on the village’s

circumstances as far as economy is concerned.

“It’s a preliminary number, it’s in the process of getting certified by the county now,” Tubaugh explained. “Which is great for grants” he said but stated the poor showing of the village’s residents stature making the LMI results basically a double-edged sword.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy Something we knew would happen eventually happened on Jan. 3 at 1:30 a.m. at the Veterans Hospital in Pittsburgh, Corporal Fred Bernard McGee passed away at age 89. He grew up in Bloomingdale, entered the U.S. Army and during the Vietnam War fought honorably for his country and to save his comrades. On top of many other medals, he received the Silver Star for his gallant service but wasn’t awarded the top medal for his heroic fight, the Medal of Honor. It is thought that this is because some sworn affidavits and field reports were redacted and understated. Those in places of top office in the state have been working diligently to right this problem but Corporal Fred did not hear of it in his lifetime.

He was one of the organizers of the Jefferson County Veterans Association that meets on the first Wednesday of each month at Friendship Park, is a member of the Smithfield American Legion and was named Jefferson County Veteran of the Year in late 2019. He and his wife, Cornell, raised their children off Hill Street and all were graduates of Smithfield High School. Visitation was at the Mount Caramel Church in Steubenville on Jan.10 and the funeral with many dignitaries speaking will be held today, Jan. 11. Efforts to generate a review and correction of the necessary citation are being spearheaded

by U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson and Ron Ferguson. They worked to get the national VA Mission Act passed and are contacting veterans in the White House who may provide the commander-in-chief the opportunity to review Fred’s situation.

The Friends of Smithfield group will meet Jan. 18 at 11 a.m. at the Smithfield Presbyterian Church to work with the Smithfield Township trustees who now govern the village to see if they can work together in bringing the village back to some semblance of what it once was.

Posada, now president of the CBA, then spoke about having a logo designed for the CBA, which could then be used to market on hats and t-shirts.

She also suggested a name change for their meeting after sharing some feedback from people who said that the thought of attending a meeting after working all day was a bit of a turn off. Posada wished to remind the public

that since their meeting is held at noon that the word “luncheon” should be included in the name of the meeting.

Discussion followed with various ideas shared but the atmosphere over the suggestion was positive. Other ideas discussed for future meetings was to have a different local official speak at each meeting with information shared on what is going on inside the community and what the future may hold.

Belmont Harrison Career Center adds new program

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The BelmontHarrison Career Center has now added another notch in their belt with the newly formed Construction Trades program, which has been underway for only a few months now. The new program is headed by Dave Nameth, a veteran of some 24 years in the construction business and is now enjoying a new facet in his life.

A tour on Monday afternoon revealed a small mockup apartment being built inside the former woodshop, which has now been converted into their construction program. Nameth said the students will build it to near completion then tear it down, saving the materials for re-use for another project.

“We’ll disassemble it carefully and work on something different next year,” Nameth explained. “We’ll dry wall it but not finish it.” Not finishing it means they’ll stop short of taping and spackling.

Nameth and Lead Teacher, Larry Bossell said there are 17 freshmen and 10 sophomores currently enrolled in the program and all the ones

present on Monday said they enjoyed it very much. Nameth said they first worked on a smaller mockup of the building with an A-frame roof by working in small groups each creating their own mockup before they all moved onto the bigger building.

The room will also not be fully completed but just enough to teach basic measurements and nailing and how to overlap the shingles. Also included in the mockup is learning basic electrical wiring, plumbing and then they’ll move onto masonry.

He said the main thing with the roof is for the students to learn how to cut their own trusses.

Nameth said he got a call from Bossell asking if he had anyone in mind who could head the program and Nameth was the one who raised his hand. Now he’s stepped into the program and is enjoying it. He said they went over the material with the students for a couple days then hit the real thing inside the shop. Nameth said they got the electrical basics down in three to four days.

“It’s definitely a change in pace,” Nameth said. “The kids are enjoying it. They learn well using their hands.”

Bossell said regarding funding

for their programs, including this newly minted one said the Belmont-Harrison school district is “pretty good about it.”

The mockup, which is a 14 x 20 they’re working on now, will take another three weeks before the job of dismantling it takes over, which will then last them another month or so. After this they will move on to brick and concrete structuring basics.

Nameth lauded the possibilities in learning a trade at a place such as the Career Center in Cadiz. He said after graduation and four years working as an apprentice an individual could be making $30 per hour by the time they’re 22 years old. And the money is increased with each year working in that apprenticeship.

Nameth said there is a job shortage for the skilled trade business right now and with the cracker plant apparently coming to Dilles Bottom the amount of jobs to build that plant will be enormous.

“It’s only going to get better,” Nameth said of the job market.

He also said they will take donations for any building materials, which also benefits the program.

Some of the 27 students enrolled in the new Construction Trades program at Belmont-Harrison Career Center work on their first project, which is expected to be completed in the next several weeks.

New equipment enhances JVS carpentry program BLOOMINGDALE - Jefferson County Joint Vocational School’s carpentry program has some new cutting-edge equipment on hand to further enhance students’ skills and give them another advantage in the workforce.

The school acquired a Laguna Smartshop M CNC router for nearly $38,000 and the machine arrived around December, while students will broaden their knowledge and gain further experience when seeking jobs in the real world. Instructor Steve Orwick said power mechanics, carpentry and electrical staff and students installed the router and students have been training on the machine to complete projects.

The computerized system can transfer designs into wood to create three-dimensional signs, cabinets and other constructs.

“It holds a 4-feet-by-8-feet sheet of material,” he explained. “You put in coordinates on a computer program, save it to a flash drive and place the drive into the computer on the

machine.”

The router uses Microsoft-based software and creates designs into the wood or other material with precision. So far, his 23 juniors and seniors have created clock faces and plan to do more projects. Local tradesman Kevin Pasiuk has also volunteered his time to train the classes and Orwick hopes to utilize his services again in the near future.

Orwick added that the Ohio Carpenters’ Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program in Ridgefield has a more enhanced version of the equipment on-site to train its students, plus many companies use routers during production. By preparing his students at the JVS, he said they can carve a successful future on their own.

“Any of my students who go through the carpentry apprenticeship—and I’ve had a few—will get trained on it. It’s a great training opportunity for our carpentry students and I want them to take advantage of it.”

Barr participates in Ohio Fair Queen Contest The carpentry program at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School has some cutting-edge equipment on hand to give students further advantages in the workforce. The school purchased a Laguna Smartshop M CNC router over the summer and received it around December. Students may use the computer-based system to create precise designs in sheets of material and instructor Steve Orwick poses with an intricate clock face created by the machine.

Joyce Barr who is serving as the 2019 Harrison County Fair queen attended the Ohio Fair Managers Convention in Columbus to participate in the Ohio Fair Queen Contest. She finished in the top 15 out of 80 girls who participated from all over Ohio. She said it was a very positive experience and made friends with other queens from throughout the state. She would like to the thank the Harrison County Senior and Junior Fairboards for their support. Joyce is the daughter of Clint and Alice Barr from Cadiz and is a sophomore at Capital University in Bexley where she will receive her Bachelor's degree and then go to Mortuary school.
