County CIC member raises volunteer FD issues Volunteers are becoming thinner and thinner throughout the area.

Doug Crabtree

CADIZ – For years Harrison County has seen their fire departments operate strictly on a volunteer service but now that is beginning to change with Hopedale’s FEMA-Homeland Security grant totaling more than $700,000.

On Tuesday, at the Harrison County

Community Improvement Corporation (HCCIC) meeting, President of the Harrison County EMS Association Doug Crabtree raised the issue of the coming changes to the county’s EMS service they may see in the future.

“Some of the changes that are happening in fire and EMS around the county, as our county is growing; there’s

some growing pains in fire and EMS… ” Crabtree told its members.

While noting that Hopedale was moving into a paid service and reminding everyone that the mix of volunteerism and a paid service is not unique to the county or the rest of Ohio, “volunteers are becoming thinner and thinner throughout the area.” He said he doesn’t know what direction all of this will end up but it was becoming more of an issue.

Crabtree said when companies look to move into an area they are looking at the kind of emergency response a given area has.

“And sometimes our volunteers are not able to provide what paid services do,” Crabtree explained. He said he

doesn’t know how it will be five or ten years down the road with paid services mixing with volunteer departments.

“That is something that is going to change in our county,” he told the other members and reminded them to keep this notion in their minds as to the changes he sees coming.

“We all represent a unique part of our communities here…” he said stating that he wanted to make the ones not aware of what has been going on and what is to be expected. Commissioner Paul Coffland added that the commissioners are now in a financial position to fund some of the volunteer work being done in the county’s volunteer fire departments.

“And as long as we can we will

continue to do that, as far as I’m concerned,” he said. “But Doug’s right, this is not unique to Harrison County, it’s happening all around us…” He continued by stating that as districts decide how to work the transition, “it’ll go to the voters and township trustees.”

“And we’ll see, there’s just too many questions and there are no answers to any of them. And if I’ve learned anything the last two years is that EMS is difficult. You can’t ask a volunteer to volunteer more and that’s the hard part.” He repeated his earlier statement of the county continuing to support the various VF departments “even in the transition where there’s a combination

Scio requests help from residents over water meter installation

Panther Pride Plows Through Winter

Panther Pride shone through the first snow of the winter when Jim Trifonoff was clearing State Route 151 with an Ohio Department of Transportation truck on Jan. 9. The Panther Pride snow plow was decorated by Alyssa Lingenfelte , granddaughter of Roger and Donna Sliva of Adena. This was a Buckeye Local production and doesn't show off its best qualities as it had gathered snow from the roads.

SCIO – The village of Scio is in the process of installing new water meters for the public’s use but they have a problem. Income Tax Administrator Janeen Scott is having trouble getting in touch with people. At Wednesday’s village meeting she told council the trouble she is having with reaching people for the installing of the meters.

“My biggest problem is calling these people…” Scott began to explain. She said the cell phone numbers she has are basically incomplete.

“It’s been kind of difficult for that,” she said referring to using the One-Call system. Some numbers she just doesn’t have. She suggested village employees could put notes on doors but mainly the village is encouraging people to call into the main office.

Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh touched on the subject later and agreed stating that the only roadblocks involve getting in touch with residents scheduled for new meters.

Another problem Scott said is the inability to get in touch with employees who are out in the field. This is in regards to their T-Mobile agreement to supply the village with cell phones. Mayor Michelle Carpenter said the T-Mobile representative told her he had been “out for the holiday.”

She said they are supposed to hear from T-Mobile “this week.”

“Hopefully we’re going to hear something soon,” she said.

“We’ve done everything that we need to do, they’ve got the paperwork. It’s just a matter of sending the phones. I asked

Williams Energy donates $4,000 to EMA for hazmat trailer

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Emergency Management Agency Director Eric Wilson announced a donation by Williams Energy in the amount of $4,000 at Wednesday’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting.

Wilson stated they have been working on getting equipment for their hazardous material response trailer for assisting the local fire departments. He has had success getting content donated and the trailer has been used for training, as well as already responding to “some spills.” “…I have been working closely with them and they support us in the local community, and they reached out to me towards the end of the year and they wanted to make a donation to our spill response trailer,” Wilson explained.

Williams’ Manager of Operations Clay Robertson spoke briefly by stating they wanted to support the EMA and appreciated “everything they do for us.”

Wilson also touched on the EMA’s moving to their new location next door to the County Home.

HARRISON

NEWS-HERALD One section, 10 Pages Vol. 51, No.37

He said they were “progressing nicely” towards the move with paving being finished along with other logistics, such as various approvals. Wilson said he hoped to be finished and ready for state inspection by the end of the first quarter of this year.

Another surprise of good news Wilson announced was the receiving of additional money out of the EMPG grant (Emergency Management Performance Grant). After submitting an application Wilson said they were able to secure “just under $7,000.”

“So that was not expected but we were able to secure that funding as well,” Wilson told the board.

He also announced one last item, which was his work with the OSU Extension people for an upcoming event scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 16.

This has to do with bleed control and the title is: Stop The Bleed and Wilson is an instructor.

The Wednesday class will be held at the Harrison County Fairgrounds commercial building from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

“But basically, this can be used in any traumatic event…” Wilson explained. “…One of the leading

Commissioner Don Bethel agreed stating, “I’ll never criticize a volunteer for not volunteering enough, you can’t.

Especially when we’re at home with our feet up on the couch.”

He called it a situation that involves more than just money at this point.

Also, as part of Tubaugh’s report, annual costs for testing their two plants, water treatment plant (WTP) and wastewater (WWTP), will run about $7,415 for WTP and another $11,750 for the WWTP. He said updated programming was scheduled for Jan. 11 at the WTP. “The new program will allow all the pumps to run more robust and efficiently,” he said in his report. He said the WWTP testing is approximately a 2 percent increase from last year.

He added that portable generators were to be in place by 2021 for lift stations at East College Street and Eastport Street.

possibility that I think it’ll not be responded, and I think we’ve been lucky so far. And the time of relying on luck might be ending.”

Crabtree explained that eventually it would become a “workforce” issue and finding employees to fill positions becomes the issue as well.

“It’s a double-edged sword that’s the problem,” Bethel said.

“If it’s a paid service where you going to get those employees?

Normally from the volunteers so that even puts more strain on the volunteers…that’s a tough juggling act.”

Director of Workforce Development Melissa Rataiczak for Belmont College reminded

them that they have a fire and EMS program at the school and offered assistance if possible.

“If there’s anything that we can do to work together to help you in that situation, just let us know. We’re very happy and very proud to help you with that,” Rataiczak said. Crabtree told her he didn’t think Belmont moving some training classes to the Cadiz area was much of an issue, as she had asked, because they have training at various departments in the county anyway.

“It’s more of getting people out to find time to volunteer,” Crabtree said.

process “to allocate funds and identify what all the requirements will be for a portable system.”

Tubaugh also mentioned a committee meeting to discuss what to do with their former office building just down the street. He would like council to discuss what their intent might be for the fate of the building.

“I think there are several options, [it’s] a matter of deciding what’s best…to do with that old building,” Tubaugh told council.

He said he’s also contacted ODOT regarding repair work on Ohio 151 and East Main Street.

“There has been additional money allocated in state of Ohio for road repairs due to increased truck traffic,” Tubaugh explained. “We are on that list…” he continued adding that they should know this year but at this time it’s only probable.

Tubaugh, once again reminded council they look at their water and sewer rates, as he did at last

month’s meeting. As of now the increase for this year will be 2.5 percent for water and sewer due to the increased cost in chemicals needed for treatments, labor and testing.

“The current cost of operation for each facility will increase for 2019,” he wrote in his report.

“So, I’m not saying it’s got to be drastic but…” he said suggesting again that they sit down and work on the math to make sure the 2.5 percent meets the requirement.

Also, council approved a clothing allowance for three village employees at $400 for the year. That has been designated for Tubaugh, John McCloskey and Ron Thompson.

“The contract has been ended for the uniforms that they were doing,” Council member Carol Davy said. “What they’ll do is they will be able to purchase up to $400 for the two full time, $200 for the two part time and they will be able to purchase the necessities…”

Services received an approval for a 3 percent wage increase for the collective bargaining unit and a 60- cent per hour wage increase for the non-bargaining Unit Employees.

And finally, Commissioner Paul Coffland announced the general fund budget amount sitting at $6,977,873 for “all offices. Coffland said that at one

time they had been over $11 million. For the 2019 special revenue budget the sum is at $25,838,962, according to Coffland.

“The larger that is the better,” Commissioner Don Bethel stated. “We get that money from outside the county, coming into the county so that’s a good thing.”

Volunteers needed for Recognition Banquet

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The Cadiz Business Association (CBA) held their first meeting of the year Wednesday under brand new leadership.

Replacing President Howard Landkrohn was Susan DeMalio (Abacus Business & Tax Services of Cadiz) and Joelle Bensie of the Harrison County Visitor’s Center has stepped in as secretary for the two new faces as officers.

Vice President Jackie Hutyera talked at length about the Recognition Banquet held each March and how various appointments are needed such as, liaison for things like catering, a chairman, selection committee, registration table, master of ceremony, table setup and decoration and seating arrangements, as well as dealing with awards.

Hutyera said that if they couldn’t find people to sign up for these duties then there was a good chance they won’t be a recognition dinner, if not this year certainly in the future, she told the crowd. This year’s banquet is set for March 18 and Hutyera discussed the logistics in each category of help needed.

DeMalio later discussed the bylaws and noted they’ve been in existence since 1998 and saw some needed changes to be made.

Regarding officers, she said instead of wording it as two elected officers, she requested it say two to five officers, which was approved.

Also, dues have been $35 per year and received approval for that figure to be raised to $50 each year.

“This is not a lot of money,” DeMalio said, which many in the audience agreed.

Another change approved was in the amount of funding the CBA should be handing out. Treasurer

Nancy Davis said last year they handed out $1,150 where the ceiling in the by-laws was noted as $500. Members approved a change to raise that ceiling to $1,000 as the limit. DeMalio said she would like to see some smaller groups that normally don’t receive the money, such as a theatre group for example.

In other items of interest the snow people at the square appeared to be very popular and some inquired about re-upping their snowman for next year. The fee is $50 per year. Davis suggested they also be supported with stronger posts next year to stand up to the weather.

Also, the new members at Large are: Jack Kibble, Kay Moore, Melissa Evick, Judy Rhome and Jennifer George.

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 13 at The Mine restaurant. The meeting will again be held at noon.

AT&T adds new cell tower in Harrison County Tower near Piedmont will give better access to Mobile Internet PIEDMONT — AT&T added a new cell tower to its 4G LTE network in Harrison County to help give customers faster, more reliable wireless service.

AT&T says this investment will help customers get the most out of their mobile devices.

With 4G LTE service, customers will experience better network connectivity while streaming videos, sharing on social media or texting family and friends.

“The addition of this new communications infrastructure in Harrison County is a welcome investment,” said Congressman Bill Johnson.

“This news is another much needed step forward in bringing

technology and connectivity to our area and is another sign of positive progress for the people who live and work here.”

“We want our customers to have a great experience. They’ll be able to download, upload, stream and play games faster than ever before on our 4G LTE network,” said Steve Kristan, external affairs director, AT&T Ohio. “We’re always working to provide better coverage. And we’re investing in our wireless network to accomplish that.”

We know how important it is for our customers to stay connected. This helps Ohioans get the best possible experience over the AT&T network wherever they live, work and play.

By building out their 4G LTE network, AT&T is laying the foundation for 5G, the next advance in network technologies. AT&T says that boosting network speeds and capacity, as they continue to expand the availability and capacity of their network using the latest technology.

AT&T invested more than $1.3 billion in their Ohio wireless and wired networks during 2015-2017. These investments boost reliability, coverage, speed and overall performance for residents and businesses. They also improve critical services that support public safety and first responders.

CADIZ – Another Lunch & Learn Workshop was held last Thursday in the cafeteria at the Harrison Community Hospital.

Carol Teter (RN, BSN) conducted the topic on skin care where she covered various conditions and circumstances, such as dealing with diabetes that may lead to neuropathy for example.

Teter began by telling the wellattended workshop that your skin can act as a protector as a firstlayer, which aids immunity.

“It’s also a blood reserve and it helps you synthesize…with the sun your Vitamin E. She passed around a product she uses herself called, CeraVe, a skin-care cream, which she said also helps protect the skin.

“Niacin is a medication that you can take that also helps but if you have low blood pressure and you take Niacin, it might go lower,” Teter explained. She said CeraVe has a by-product, metabolite of Niacin but said it wasn’t as strong.

One condition often heard is skin cancer and how to prevent over exposure to the sun’s rays.

Basal-cell-carcinoma is one pitfall of too much sun where it affects all people, though people with fair or lighter skin are at greater risk.

Another condition to watch out for is called Actinic Keratoses

(AK), which are “dry, scaly patches or spots are precancerous growths.” Some conditions listed in a handout are people with fair skin who are susceptible. Also, people over 40 years of age after the accumulation of sun exposure.

Areas with the most exposure are the neck, hands, head and forearms. Information supplied also states that treatment is important because this type of ailment can lead to a skin cancer called, squamous cell carcinoma.

The most common type of skin cancer is Basal cell carcinoma, which also is likely to develop in people with fair skin. They are flesh colored, “pearl-like bump or a pinkish patch of skin.” It’s also caused by years of skin exposure or indoor tanning, as well.

Melanoma is another form of skin cancer and is also the deadliest form.

“Melanoma frequently develops in a mole or suddenly appears as a new dark spot on the skin,” according to the information packet. And “early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.”

Some recommendations, which may sound obvious, are nonetheless helpful such as: Limiting time in the sun, using sunscreen, wear protective clothing, avoid tanning and not to use tanning pills as they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Teter said to always use sunscreen but to “always work with your doctor on these issues when I bring things up because we’re all different.” She said to be weary of ads promising things that sound too good to be true. Also, not to have shower or bath water too hot because heat depletes the moisture much faster.

“And I would say one of the best things…is start this skin care early…but I think when you’re younger you don’t think about skin cancer or wrinkles or all the aging…” she explained. Teter also recommends drinking plenty of water as it hydrates the system.

Next on the list was foot care.

Teter said feet tend to dry out and diabetes is something that can affect a person’s feet.

“People with diabetes particularly, can develop lots of foot problems,” Teter said. “One being because of the circulation, you need good circulation for all the organs.” Some suggested remedies are to wash your feet in warm water daily. Also, drying the feet very well, “especially between the toes.” It’s also recommended to moisturize your feet but not between the toes. It’s also suggested to inspect your feet on a daily basis for cuts or bruises, blisters, redness or calluses.

Wearing soft socks that are not too tight below the knee is also recommended.

HC Economic Director updates on county projects

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – A planned move

by Dr. Scott Pendleton’s Cadiz Animal Clinic outside of Hopedale is moving forward, according to Harrison County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen.

He explained at Tuesday’s meeting, held at the Puskarich Library in Cadiz, that they are now working on a “tax abatement,” as they now have “all the necessary approvals from the local entities.”

Homrighausen thanked the commissioner’s help in that area and are now waiting for

word from the Ohio Department of Development.

He said other than that, everything else is moving forward on the project.

President Dale Arbaugh stated that both school boards, Harris Hills and the Career Center, as well as Cadiz and Green Townships have all been kept up to speed which is necessary because of the involvement in tax abatement.

“So, all the appropriate parties are up to speed on what is going on at this point,” Arbaugh explained.

Also, Homrighausen touched on the Buxton work in identifying county locations

for potential new businesses.

He said site visits have been scheduled with Buxton for this and next month as well. He said Buxton has been “very helpful” regarding data and demographics they have provided “beyond the initial information that we gave them.” He said in some areas they have requested more information on top of already identifying others.

“Very positive with that in such a short time frame turn around to have multiple site visits from different retail or restaurant entities,” Homrighausen explained.

Regarding the Liota project,

which is to search and study industrial park development, they are waiting to receive information involving what once was 29 sites. He said they had to pare that down based on Liota’s recommendations, as well as their own.

“You’re looking for as close to as shovel-ready as you can get so it doesn’t take as large quality of funds to make that industrial park, or commercial park as shovel-ready,” he told the board.

Homrighausen said they had been a bit behind in this development but hoped to have things wrapped up by the end of the second quarter of

2019. After more discussion they agreed that around 10 sites had been eliminated and another 12 were ranked for further consideration.

Homrighausen said even with the ones that have been put on the back burner, they could still be looked at if the Liota group were to ask for more information.

Also, Commissioner Don Bethel requested the commissioners be updated on the CIC’s progress on a weekly basis. He handed out an example of a rather thorough report handed in from another department and would like to see something similar from the

CIC. “Just something that I should be able to answer questions from the public obviously… what can be discussed. But I’m requesting a weekly…very simple, couple words on a daily thing…that’s just to keep the commissioners fully aware of what’s happening with the CIC,” he explained. “I think that sometimes there’s a disconnect and that will certainly help that. And like I said as chairman and as the representative of the CIC I think it’s important that I am aware of the activities of the CIC also.”

arraignment, judicial release

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Ryan Harris, 26, of Adena was granted judicial release Tuesday as Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese stated that Harris had “lived up to his end of the bargain.” Judge T. Shawn Hervey agreed and granted the motion by Harris’s attorney, Bernard Battistel.

Harris had already been serving more than 12 months of a 36-month accumulative sentence from two cases involving 2016 and 2017. The charges included grand theft (F3), grand theft of a motor vehicle (F4) and two charges of breaking and entering, both felonies of the fifth degree.

The sentences were to run consecutive and the 12-month sentence for the 2016 charges have been fulfilled, according to the state as Harris was currently serving time on his 2017 charges. Harris was ordered to complete the program at the Eastern Ohio Correction Center (EOCC) before being released to one year of Community Based Control (CBC).

Hervey said Harris could spend as little as four months, or as long as it takes to complete the program at EOCC. Also appearing, Jacob McPeak, the Cadiz resident charged with illegal conveyance of drugs, aggravated robbery (F1), having weapons under disability and tampering with evidence, both felonies of the third degree. The purpose of his hearing was for a motion for the continuance of his evidential hearing. Hervey acknowledged that some evidence had been exchanged and Bruzzese had no objection to the request.

Tristan Ferrell also appeared Tuesday and saw his bond reduced from $25,000 down to $10,000. He is facing a charge of obstructing justice, a felony of the second degree. He stated that he would be able to make bond the same day, for which 10 percent was only required.

Ferrell is subjected to a nocontact order with his victim, as well as his co-defendants,

Jacob McPeak made a brief court appearance Tuesday in Harrison County common pleas court. He is facing multiple charges for the alleged armed robbery occurring last November in Cadiz. The most serious charge is a felony of the first degree for aggravated robbery.

McPeak, Sadie Meredith and Joshua Burgett.

Burgett made a brief appearance with Hervey acknowledging that discovery had been exchanged.

“We’re right where the case should be,” he said, referring to the alleged armed robbery committed back in November on North Muskingum Street in Cadiz.

A single arraignment took place last Wednesday in the Harrison County Common Pleas courtroom.

Cullen Cannon Jr., represented by his attorney Peter Olivito, appeared on the charge of domestic violence, a felony of the fourth degree.

Bond was set at $100,000 in lower court and Judge T. Shawn Hervey agreed to keep it there on the request of County Prosecutor Owen Beetham who also noted to the court two prior convictions of domestic violence. Judge Hervey agreed to re-address bond at a later date.

Also, Frank T. Kopras, 46, of Jewett was issued a summons on Dec. 22 for the charge of sexual unlawful conduct with a minor.

According to court records, the offense took place back on Aug. 1 of 2018. His attorney is listed as public defender. His next hearing date is set for Feb. 13 at 1:15 p.m.

Keturah Krankovitch saw her case come to an end.

Represented by her attorney Adam Burke, Krankovitch pleaded guilty to one count of falsification, a misdemeanor of the first degree. Two other counts, tampering with evidence (F3) and insurance fraud (F4) were dropped.

Hervey agreed to the plea deal of one year of Community Based Control (CBC), 40 hours of community service and 180 jail days suspended, pending an Ohio Risk Assessment, which Hervey said would be applied to any further probation decisions.

She was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $2,372.38 to All State Insurance, according to the state’s Assistant Attorney General, Christopher Kinsler.

Burke told the court his client was involved in a program and “doing well with.” He wanted the court to know that she had canceled her claim “in this case prior to All State’s denial of the claim.” He said he believed her on that point and have been attempting to receive proof of that from All State and said it was moving forward.

“But she does want the court to be aware that there’s no money taken, in fact she tried to cancel the claim,” Burke explained.

Scio dealing with vandalism

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com SCIO – For the most part, some areas of the county have dealt with their share of vandals and burglaries. But recently Scio has been dealing with more than their share, they feel, of vandalism.

Mayor Michelle Carpenter stated that their community park had been vandalized a few weeks ago, as well as the locker room at the football field.

“There just seems to be a group of kids that are bored and unsupervised and walk around town looking for things to do,” she said via email on Thursday. Jewett Chief of Police Ron Carter stated that a recent vandalism at Pennington’s restaurant on E. Main Street was a concern but that was solved rather quickly.

“Due to the quick action of the Jewett Police Department we had that solved in four hours,” he explained. A juvenile he said that’s been causing problems previously was responsible for that crime.

Sheriff Joe Myers explained via text message that “the vandalism at the park has been

resolved,” with no further details provided He stated that an incident at the Scio car wash is being investigated and they are working with Tuscarawas County authorities to help resolve the case.

At Wednesday evening’s Scio

council meeting, some members expressed frustration over the recent incidents. They said sometimes kids would walk by the office glass door and kick it, along with other behavior that can’t be explained.

Pet owners urged to schedule a dental checkup in February during National Pet Dental Health Month Fido's or Fluffy's bad breath could be more than an odor problem; it might signify a serious health risk with the potential to damage not only the animal’s teeth and gums but its internal organs as well.

To address the importance of oral health care for pets, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is sponsoring National Pet Dental Health Month® in February.

AVMA President Dr. Mike Topper says regular dental exams are an integral and primary component of a pet's overall health care, and can help prevent more serious health problems.

"Oral disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets; it's also entirely preventable," said Dr. Topper. "Twice-a-year checkups, including an oral health checkup, are important to ensure your pet is not in pain and is not suffering from serious oral health problems. Besides causing receding gums and tooth loss, bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream, potentially infecting the heart, liver and kidneys, which can be potentially life threatening.

"Just as the public has come to realize that their own oral health is linked to their overall health, veterinarians want people to understand that dental health care is essential to maintaining the overall health and well-being of the family pet."

Routine cleanings can help prevent periodontal disease and save money in the long run. A 2014 analysis conducted by Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. showed that the average cost per pet to prevent dental disease is just one-third of the average cost of treating dental disease. More importantly, a complete oral examination can detect hidden health problems. Even if your

T

pet's breath smells fine, there still could be dental conditions that are hard to spot without a complete veterinary exam.

While regular dental checkups are essential to help maintain your pet's dental health, there are a number of signs that dental disease has already started. If you notice any of the symptoms below, take your pet in to your veterinarian immediately: - Red swollen gums - Bad breath (similar to the smell of a rotten egg) - Teeth that are broken, loose, discolored or covered in tartar - Abnormal chewing, drooling or dropping food from the mouth - Bleeding from the mouth - Shying away from you when

you touch the mouth area - Frequent pawing or rubbing at the face and/or mouth - Reduced appetite or refusal to eat - Weight loss In addition to professional dental care, Dr. Topper advises pet owners to make oral home care part of their pet's routine as a way to prevent tooth decay.

Veterinarians can help pet owners begin a pet dental care routine at home, and encourage them to continue regular veterinary checkups to monitor their pets' oral health.

February is

DENTAL HEALTH MONTH! Leading up to February, we will be providing FREE dental exams by our technician with an appointment. From this exam, we will give recommendations on how to help your pet with their dental health whether it be a professional cleaning or give recommendations for at-home care.

If it is found your pet does need professional cleaning, we will give you an estimate of the cost, which varies depending on the degree of dental disease. After your dental cleaning, we will send you and your pet home with a dental health care kit along with being entered into a drawing for our grand prize.

SMITHFIELD

BY ESTHER MCCOY New Year's Eve gives me time to think of all the past years and how things have changed over time. Namely, I am thinking of Smithfield, where there was

once four service and gas stations, including Tiptons, Courtrights, Lew's Sunco and Bill and Nelson's Gas Station. There was Becketts and Naylor's insurance agencies, the Blue Swan Dairy Isle and Restaurant, and earlier on the Spartan Inn, Mooney's Restaurant, Daniels' Restaurant and Chesky's. Humpe and Minges and Slaga's provided the flowers for the proms and weddings and Mortland's Department Store had clothing for all ages, shoes, underclothing, housewares and school supplies. It was always a big thrill to go there. The DeLuca Food Locker was where those who purchased a market animal at the Jefferson County Fair took the meat to keep frozen for use throughout the year. To buy groceries, there was the Co-Op Store in Smithfield, Piney Fork and Bradley.

When we were first married, I would call my list of groceries to Jerry Kovarik and his wife at the Bradley Store. Steve Kertoy, the delivery man, would bring them to the house. This alleviated the need to pick out groceries, load them in the car, and take them back out when you reached home; the hard part was done for you. They even had a post office and I would give Steve a letter or package to take back to the store to be mailed on his way back to the store. There was Lodges Meat Market, Don Gunn's groceries, Lenzi's and Welday's Orchard where apples were grown in all varieties and a cup of cider could be obtained for a mere penny. There was honey produced from bees who spent their time collecting nectar from the apple blossoms.

Ladies wanting to look glamorous for the prom, wedding or big events could go to Hanna's Beauty Shop, Dorothy Brown's beauty shop, Ruth Ferrari's and Doris' salons.

And there was Buzz Parks and Bruce Clouston's barber shops for hair cuts for the guys.

Thomasson's Hardware had household items, lawn movers, toys, nails, paint and almost anything the big stores in Steubenville carried. There was watch repair shop at Daniel's Shop and Carl Penn could fix clocks and any time piece as good as new. Hunting time was a big thing and those who took to the woods would buy their hunting license form the Sportmen's Den. Sabatini's was further out the road but was considered part of Smithfield and you could get any model of car desired, they would find it for the buyer. They did paint jobs and repair work too. Dave Simmons took over the business when his father-in-law, Fred Sabatini, retired. That's my trip down memory lane for the old year blossoming into the new one. I always promise to do more and better things each year. A few get done but I always seem to save many for the up and coming New Year.

Happy 2019 and may all your memories be good ones.

DEERSVILLE

By Susan Adams The Women of Mission of the Deersville UM Church held their regular monthly meeting on January 3rd at the Holy Grounds Café in Dennison.

Edith Taylor extended grace and the group enjoyed a delicious lunch. Holly Brindley lead the group in the Reading of the Pledge. Opening scripture was Ephesians 5:18-20. The minutes from the November and December meeting and the Treasurer's report were approved as read. In old business the group made plans for a Valentine's Day dinner Feb. 14 at the church. They also discussed plans for their "Paint and Punch" that will be held

Saturday, January 12, 2019 Feb. 21st at 1p.m. at the church.

The group would like to purchase new end tips for the legs of the folding chairs at the church to stop damage to the carpet. In new business a donation was acknowledged by Honorary Member Marlys Stevens. The group will hold election of officers and prepare a program schedule at the next meeting. The group will be hosting a Mother's Day Luncheon on May 4th at 1PM. The theme will be "Daughters of the King" and will be open to all ladies in the church and the community. The program was presented by Sue Adams. She read a story about gossips and shared a devotional "Simple Formula for Living". She closed with scripture Psalm 118:28-29.

Thinking of you cards were signed for Marlys Stevens, Lois Poulson and Dorothy Greene.

One does not need to belong to the church to join the Women of Mission. New members are welcomed.

The Deersville Community Volunteer Fire Department would like to start up their Auxiliary again. Please pass the word and hopefully there will be enough interest.

The auxiliary helps raise money for the department and support the firefighters.

Have a great week, take care and God bless.

Man found guilty of poaching $27,000 trophy buck COLUMBUS – A Holmes County man pleaded no-contest to five wildlife violations in Coshocton Municipal Court on Thursday, December 13 and was ordered to pay $27,904.46 in restitution, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

Junior L. Troyer, 43, of Millersburg pleaded no-contest to five charges including providing false information while game checking deer, attaching a game check number to a deer other than the deer it was issued to, taking more than one antlered deer in a license year, possessing deer or deer

parts without an attached valid deer tag, and attaching an antlerless deer game check number to an antlered deer.

Judge Timothy L. France found Troyer guilty on all charges and ordered him to pay $150 for each charge and an additional $87 in court costs. Judge France also ordered Troyer to pay restitution to the ODNR Division of Wildlife in the amount of $27,904.46.

In addition, Troyer will lose his hunting privileges for one year. He will be entered into the Wildlife Violator's Compact and most likely will lose hunting rights in 46 other

states.

The non-typical trophy deer scored 228 7/8. The restitution amount imposed by the court is in accordance with Ohio's revised restitution law for illegal taking of white-tailed deer.

Wildlife K-9 Finn and his handler State Wildlife Officer Jeremy Carter, assigned to Holmes County, located evidence that was crucial to this case. The ODNR Division of Wildlife has five K-9 teams throughout the state that are trained and certified to detect wildlife, gunpowder, and ginseng, and are certified in tracking, area searches, and

article searches.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife encourages anyone observing or suspecting that wildlife violations are occurring to report illegal activity by calling the Turn-In-A-Poacher (TIP) hotline toll free at 1-800POACHER (762-2437) or submitting information online at wildohio.gov. All information received by the TIP program will remain confidential.

ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.

Lady Huskies move to 4-7 Streaking Huskies

By ED BANKS

NH sports Writer

CADIZ - After leading in the three quarters of play on Thursday evening, the Harrison Central varsity girls basketball team let a fourth quarter run by visiting Union Local to ultimately walk away with a victory. The Huskies held a 1point (7-6) lead after one frame, a 6-point advantage at the half and a 1-point (35-34) lead going into the final stanza.

In a game where Harrison gave away numerous scoring opportunities and were guilty of countless turnovers, the final quarter was too close to allow for any mistakes, however, the 2-point advantage entering the

fourth period by the Huskies soon evaporated behind repeated performance errors.

The Lady Jets would take the gifts and turn them into a 4937 victory. Sidney Starr paced the Huskies with a team high 15 points. Lexi McAfee added 12 points, with all coming in the three-point variety. McKayla Dunkle had 5-points, Britton Positano 3 and Jara Madzia 2.

On Saturday morning the bright sunlight brought about a new day for the Lay Huskies.

Standing in front of a team win for the Lady Dawgs was visiting East Liverpool. This time a three-quarter lead for the Huskies would remain true through all four quarters, giving Harrison a 55-39 victory.

Unlike Thursday’s outing, the lady Huskies handled the ball with authority. Though a few errant passes occurred, rebounding and scoring by the Huskies made-up for the scattered miscues.

Starr would do her magic and this time lead all scorers with 16 points. Dunkle chased Starr in the scoring and rebounding while adding 12 points to the team effort. McAfee got a pair of treys, a couple of duces and two singles for 10 points, both Kobe Johnson and Thea Haney added four points each, Audry Corder and Marina Miller each had a bucket and Positano a single.

Husky Boosters honor Wilden

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer CADIZ - If anything can be said of the Husky Booster Foundation, it is that they understand and demonstrate their feelings for people who have made the organization what it is today. As you travel from school to school throughout the OVAC and the Buckeye 8 Conference, noticeable differences in their sports support programs exist. There are still schools that require students to purchase their own tennis shoes, and/or pay partial expenses for participation in their sports program.

At Harrison the boosters have made those differences nonexistent. We sometimes are guilty of overlooking what is involved in the Booster Programs and what they stand for. During their recent annual Christmas Dinner, the Boosters recognized three of their own. We earlier mentioned Todd Dunlap as the 2018 Booster of the Year and Toney Raines as the Business of the Year, and now the club is announcing the organization’s 2018 Football Program Honoree of the Year; Mr. Bill Wilden of Cadiz was announced as the organization’s recipient.

“Bill was also named as last year’s Booster of the Year,” said Booster President Rick Ferri. “Bill does just

Pictured is Club President Rick Ferri (right) as he presents the award for Football Program Honoree to Wilden.

about everything! He is the Golf Bash Committee Chairman and works any fundraiser that the club put on. In addition to our 2018 honorees, there are so many people that need recognition. Their contributions have kept us where we are today, and their continued support is valued beyond measure.

Some of the folks that we don’t want to leave out include Spring Hills Golf Club, Mr. Gutter - Bill Marks, Randy Gilbert, Cadiz Insurance Agency and Milleson Insurance. Finally, once again we

want to thank the Cadiz American Legion for hosting our Dinner and Christmas Party, and we appreciate everything that they have done for us in the past as well,” Ferri added.

In other business, the Boosters held their election of officers. The 2019 officers are Rick FerriPresident, Bruce Davis-Vice President, Jackie Corder-Treasurer and Heather Dunfee will be the Secretary. Trustees for the foundation will be Dan Watson, Bill Wilden and George Gates.

More Doctors, More Services

now 7-1 on the season

By D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – The Harrison Central Huskies are red hot on the hardwood right now, and that 6355 loss to Martins Ferry in early December is starting to feel a lot like it happened a lifetime ago. The reason that may be is likely because the Huskies have gone perfect since rattling off six consecutive victories to land at 7-1 on the season. After dismantling Indian Creek 70-47 over the holiday break, the Huskies were paid a rare visit from an Eastern Buckeye Conference school in the Minerva Lions last weekend in Cadiz. A raucous Stephenson Center Crowd went on to send the Lions back northward with a 66-48 defeat in hand. Topping off the frenzy of recent roundball action, the Huskies completed the season sweep of Bellaire, traveling to the All-American Town and dropping the Big Reds 85-41.

As predicted by many, things are beginning to fall in place for the Huskies and their fanbase to have a very exciting second half of the season in 2019. First place in the OVAC Class 4A standings, and locked in a three-way tie for first in the Buckeye Eight South Division standings, things couldn’t get much better for Head Coach Justin Clifford’s unit as they near the midpoint of their schedule.

Gavin Muckle, Kobe Mitchell, and Caden Dalton all teamed up to drain Creek. Muckle scored game-high honors with 23-points, Mitchell followed that up with 18, and Dalton had a resourceful night popping the board for 16. It was a matchup that was never really close, as Harrison jumped out to a commanding lead with Muckle and Mitchell combining for 18 first quarter points, enough to put the home squad up 22-9 at the end of one. The blitz continued into the second, as the Huskies posted a 37-20 lead at the break. Payton

Harrison sophomore guard Gavin Muckle soars to the bucket against Minerva. Muckle pocketed 12-points in the 66-48 Huskies victory.

Taylor, Tyler West, Cruz Capers and Evan Stine also lit the lamp against the Redskins.

Against the Lions, Mitchell picked up two early fouls and had to sit the majority of the first frame. Foul trouble and a scoreless opening eight minutes couldn’t keep down one of the Valley’s leading scorers however, as the sophomore still managed to toss in 28-tallies, including a stellar fourth quarter performance that totaled 13-points.

It was a balanced scoring attack that kept the Huskies high powered offense moving along in the early going, with Dalton, Taylor, Stine, and West all tickling the twine to open up a 16-9 lead after one.

The Lions (2-8) kept pace with the Huskies (7-1) through most of the first half, reaching halftime trailing by only ten at 29-19. Brice Williams kept his Minerva team in it, rattling home 12 of his 21points in the first half. Gavin

Muckle converted on a long range 3-point field goal on Harrison’s last first half possession. Minerva then elected to dribble out nearly a minute of the first half clock in hopes of getting the last crack at the rim before the break. The strategy backfired as they came up empty handed when the buzzer sounded.

In the second half, Minerva did just enough to keep Clifford and the Huskies from getting too comfortable. The visitors had fought down to a 38-30 deficit in the third, before Stine let his presence be known in the paint with a put-back to his own bunny that pushed Harrison back up by double digits.

The final nail came down when Dalton hit Mitchell on a fast break that drew the whistle, after Mitchell’s successful free throw the Huskies were up 15 with under two minutes to play.

Tips to Make A Style New Ways to Help Protect Statement in Every Your Home and Family Room of Your House (StatePoint) Want to elevate your home décor in the new year? Whether you’re going for farmhouse style or mid-century modern décor, make a statement in every room, even the most neglected spaces.

From the laundry room to the garage, to your home gym and game room, these easy and simple ideas from the design experts at Hunter Fan Company will add comfort and beauty to your home.

The Laundry Room While this space is one of the most used on a weekly basis, it’s often forgotten in terms of décor and style. Simple touches, like matching laundry bins, wall art and coordinated shelving can really change the ambiance and help organize laundry day chaos.

While this space has a ton of potential, it also comes with its share of challenges. Many laundry rooms tend to be cramped and get steamy easily.

Adding a circulating element, like a ceiling fan, can remedy this woe and make chores more pleasant. Smaller options like the Loki from Hunter Fan Company come in options as small as 36-inches and can seamlessly coordinate with your updated space.

The Game Room Game rooms are often the most aesthetically neglected rooms of the home. Often a culmination of mismatched and hand-me-down furniture, the game room is most likely in need of some tender love and care. Some new pillow covers for the couch and an added cowhide rug can provide a refreshing update to this room.

Consider adding an accent wall in a bold color and replacing those outdated band posters for a grown-up look.

The Garage For many people, the garage is the first interior space they encounter after a long day.

Unfortunately, it’s also often the dumping ground for old tools, children’s toys and items with no place to call home. Built-in storage can help with organization, and adding a layer of colored floor protectant will make your garage seem more polished and presentable.

If you use the garage as a workshop, the introduction of a cool breeze can revitalize strenuous home projects and ensure proper ventilation.

Check out ceiling fan design options that can stand up to the elements, such as the Brunswick or Cedar Key from Hunter Fan Company.

The Home Gym When it comes to getting in shape, motivation is key, and having a beautiful, enjoyable space while working towards your goals can make all the difference. Get a better workout by updating your home gym with new mats, colorful dumbbells and a brand-new sound system.

Avoid overheating with the latest smart tech, such as the SIMPLEconnect Symphony, a fan that can be controlled from your mobile device or an automated virtual assistant, such as Siri, Google or Alexa, so you can be comfortable without interrupting your treadmill session.

For greater comfort, health and use of your home at the start of the new year, consider how you can incorporate beautiful and easy interior design elements into every room.

(StatePoint) When it comes to your home, there is unfortunately no shortage of things that can go wrong and no shortage of culprits, from wicked weather to electrical fires.

High winds, plumbing and appliance issues, hail, leaky roofs, frozen pipes and breakins -- these are some of the most frequent causes of property damage, according to Travelers, which analyzed eight years of its homeowners insurance claims.

But experts say that there are steps you can take to help protect your home and family from situations beyond your control, particularly when it comes to some of the most common issues.

“Beyond investing in an insurance policy, integrated smart home technology can go a long way toward helping you protect your home,” says Pat Gee, senior vice president of Personal Insurance Claim at Travelers. “Some of the most common situations we see might be prevented or mitigated with the use of smart home technology.”

Gee points out that with a smart water sensor, for example, you could be alerted at the first sign of excess water where it doesn’t belong and take care of it before it’s too late, or, with a smart motion sensor, you’ll know about unusual activity on your property in real time.

Travelers thinks that smart

home technology is a game changer when it comes to protecting homes and property, so it has teamed up with Amazon to offer integrated smart home solutions at a discount to the insurer’s eligible customers. Customers can choose between a Smart Kit, Smart Kit Plus and Smart Kit Premier, which include an Amazon Echo Dot, security cameras, water sensors, motion detectors and a smart home hub to centrally control these devices from one app. Travelers is also offering discounted kit installation, providing free Amazon Echo Dot devices to eligible customers, and has introduced new Alexa skills to help answer billing questions

and provide property maintenance and home safety advice to all consumers, with more skills planned for the future.

To learn more, visit the insurance industry’s first digital storefront at Amazon.com/Travelers.

“Traditional smoke alarms and home security systems are helpful, but there are new, proactive ways to monitor your home, including devices that are easier to use and more affordable than ever,” says Gee. “There has never been a better time to explore smart home solutions that can enhance your home’s security and help provide peace of mind.”

The Verdict Is In: These 5 Home Design Ideas Will be Trending in 2019 (StatePoint) Usher in the new year with a crop of inspiring fresh ideas across home design.

To help you keep up with the latest décor trends, celebrity interior designer, Taniya Nayak, has pulled together the top five home design trends for 2019 to provide inspiration no matter your personal taste.

1. Natural and Organic. Bring a touch of Mother Nature into your home with this trend that accentuates earthy, organic elements. Nayak recommends adding layers of textures, like natural raw jute, and incorporating muted tones, such as terra cotta, moss green or mustard, to achieve this natureinspired style.

2. Feminine and Free. This style embraces a pastel palette of pale blue, pink and cream to achieve a romantic and glam

H

look. Infuse this trend into your space by creating a striped accent wall with soft-hued tones or alternate different paint finishes, such as eggshell and satin, in the same color for a dimensional effect. Bring the look to life with fresh greenery and indoor plants.

3. Eclectic and Bold. Nayak says “own your own style and show it off…make a statement!”

An easy way to achieve this bold trend is to paint a door, an accent piece or even a ceiling in a bright color, like Jester Red or Ceylon Yellow. Unsure if bold colors are for you? Take a look in your closet to see which shades you tend to gravitate toward most.

And when it comes to achieving clean, sharp paint lines, one of Nayak’s go-to tools is a premium painter’s tape like

FrogTape brand painter’s tape that delivers the sharpest paint lines possible. Treated with patented PaintBlock Technology, FrogTape is a foolproof way to get professional-looking results and eliminate the need for touchups.

4. Fluid and Fashionable.

Create a space that exudes effortlessness by infusing repetitive patterns and fluid transitions of the same color.

According to Nayak, the best way to incorporate varying shades of a single color is to use a paint sample strip like you might find at a paint supply store as guidance to achieve a serene look throughout the space. Otherwise, stick to a single shade and carefully play with patterns. For example, pair striped dining room chairs with

R

a patterned rug for a fashionforward statement.

5. Luxe Modern. A little design secret to keep in mind: mixing metals is back and in a big way.

Nayak encourages DIYers to complement metallic accents, instead of matching them. She suggests creating a palette of two to four metal tones and distributing them throughout the space in ways that are intentional and maintain balance. For a look that is glam, yet modern, consider pairing rose gold with pewter or brushed gold and stainless steel.

Ingenious and easy to achieve, these rising trends for 2019 will provide the necessary inspiration to update your home’s interiors.

Foster care open houses being offered by The Village Network for prospective foster parents CADIZ — Anyone interested in becoming a foster parent can learn more about the process and speak to professionals and foster care parents at an open house 5:30-6:30 p.m. Jan. 10 at the Harrison Hills City Schools Administration building, 730 Peppard Ave. The foster care open house is organized by The Village Network, a nonprofit organization that provides treatment foster care for youth who have been removed from

their homes due to a variety of circumstances, including unsafe living conditions.

Children placed in treatment foster care require more than the basic care, support, love and nurturing that a traditional foster parent might provide.

The Village Network trains, supports and supervises caring foster parents to provide treatment aimed at healing, teaching new coping skills and helping each individual child.

“This will be a good

opportunity for people to come out and hear firsthand from parents who are doing it,” said Regional Director Mark Ingles.

Light refreshments will be served. Two more open houses have been scheduled for Feb. 5, March 5 and April 4 at the same time and location. For more information, contact Nancy Gress at 740-922-2144 or ngress@thevillagenetwork.com; or Ingles at 740 238-2592 or mingles@thevillagenetwork.com.

Say Yes to the Dress sale at Hills this weekend MINGO JUNCTION-Looking for a semi-formal or prom dress at a bargain price? Then head to Hills Elementary School this Saturday for the “Say Yes to the Dress” sales event to peruse among an array of gently used apparel.

School secretary Robin Laughery, one of the event organizers, said at least 17 vendors were expected to have a variety of short and long

dresses for sale in the school gym from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free and it is open to residents in all school districts interested in buying or selling dresses, shoes, and jewelry.

Vendor tables cost $10 and they may bring their own clothing racks, while sale proceeds are theirs to keep. Laughery said a similar event was held at Indian Creek

High School five years ago and it gives people a chance to clean out their closets and provide more chances for the items to be worn.

Registration will be taken both in advance and at the door the day of the event and set up time is at 9:30 a.m. To reserve space, contact Laughery at (740) 381-2454 or Michele Minto at (740) 275-2038.

Ohio hunters harvest more than 14,000 deer during Ohio's muzzleloader season COLUMBUS – Hunters checked 14,182 white-tailed deer during Ohio's muzzleloader season, Jan. 58, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). During last year's muzzleloader season, 13,268 white-tailed deer were checked.

Hunters still have opportunities to pursue deer this winter, as archery season remains open through Sunday, Feb. 3.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohio's deer populations. The goal of Ohio's Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists.

Hunting Popularity Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with huntingrelated industries. Hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation's Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication.

Find more information about deer hunting in the Ohio 2018-2019 Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.gov.

An updated deer harvest

report is posted online each Wednesday at wildohio.gov/deerharvest.

ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.
