Lady Husky bowlers repeat as Buckeye 8 champions

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - The Buckeye 8 varsity bowling teams were at the St. Clair Lanes in St. Clairsville on Monday to compete in the 2020 Buckeye 8 Championships.

In the girls action, the Lady Huskies trailed the Lady Potters 2183 - 2136 and would have to come from behind in the baker game to win the championship. They did just that.

The Huskies erased a 48-point deficit with a 201 performance to become champions for the second consecutive season.

Harrison’s Aleyna Runevich also finished the day as the tournament’s individual winner. Runevich rolled a 557 to become the individual winner. The 557 was 84 pins better than Delaney Riggie of East Liverpool.

Overall, other bowlers had an outstanding tournament, and additionally earned “All League” status. Harrison’s Tory Thompson

finished 5th overall with a 452 score; Cami Besch and Lauren Best, 415 and 369 respectfully; Karla Thompson and Alexis Lischich. The top 6 bowlers become members of the “All League Team’’. Along with Runevich that means Tory Thompson will find a place on the squad.

In boys competition, the Potters became league champions and produced the individual champion in Nathan Kelley.

Union Local finished second.

CADIZ – Wednesday, the Harrison County Commissioners announced an agreement (3-21) with the law firm of Roetzel & Andress (R&A) for legal services providing advice involving the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation (HCCIC).

The commissioner’s ambition is to look into their options with one being a separation of themselves from the HCCIC. Commissioner Paul Coffland read the agreement including the scope of the engagement.

“Roetzel will be engaged by the board to provide legal services related to the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation, including, but not limited to, advising and providing general counsel to the board…”

Commissioner Don Bethel said the initial plan is to seek advice on how to come to an agreement or an arrangement “or have a separation from the (HC) CIC concerning their economic development.” But he emphasized this was about the HCCIC and Homrighausen and not the office personnel who he commended for their “hardworking” and “dedicated” efforts and who are valuable to the community.

The commissioners, mostly Paul Coffland and Don Bethel, have been increasingly frustrated in their dealings with the HCCIC and what they have perceived as a lack of communication between the two entities. Commissioner Dale Norris was present via teleconference and would not vote in favor of the agreement stating he had not been “a part of it.”

“This has all be unbeknownst to me until I received a text on Sunday from Commissioner Bethel,” Norris explained. Coffland seconded the motion for discussion and explained that the agreement was “simply engaging to have them provide some information.” He said no one has had discussions and stated that this was tantamount to what the water board “did to hire expert legal services in dealing with the village of Cadiz.”

Bethel told Norris he was following his advice in letting the courts decide the matter. But Norris shot back stating Bethel had engaged with a law firm and he and Coffland had already been engaged in the matter and did not include Norris “and it’s unbeknownst to me.” Coffland said they hadn’t been engaged in anything and said R&A was the same firm they’d used back in 2019. Coffland and Bethel then voted in favor with Norris abstaining.

The commissioners returned to other business but at the end of the meeting returned to the issue explaining further with some harsh words for Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen, especially from Bethel.

“Unapologetically I will admit he has been, in my opinion,

Cadiz Council hears complaints over abandoned post office

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last Thursday, the Cadiz Village Council met at their usual COVID-era meeting room inside the EMS building and Council Member Billy Hyde told Mayor John Migliore that he’s been receiving complaints regarding the old dilapidated post office.

The small building with its decrepit foundation has been sitting empty at the end of South Main Street for two years now and Hyde relayed some of the comments he’s been receiving.

Migliore told him through his contacts on the issue he hoped to have more

information to share after getting through the holidays.

“Well, if that was our property we’d been getting fined for it…” Hyde said sharing one of the complaints he’s heard. Migliore reminded him it’s the federal government and they’re apparently unconcerned with any repercussions, or just plain dragging their feet on this.

“And they’ve already told us we’re not going to get anything from them,” Migliore said. Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski repeated the postal service’s response from the past, and had already been published back in the latter part of 2020 that, “we do what we want we’re the post office and I’m

not exaggerating that,” which council members were familiar with the post office’s previous letter to the village.

Council Member Dan Ossman also related complaints he’s received over the building where he had to remind them that it is federal government property and there’s nothing much the village could do about it.

Strategic Communication Specialist for the postal service (Cleveland), Naddia Dhalia provided a very short statement via email when contacted this week.

“It has not been determined what will happen to the old building.” This has

unprofessional, unethical and untruthful to me on multiple occasions, with no disciplinary actions whatsoever,” Bethel explained. “So, there has to be some changes concerning the economic developer in Harrison County and unfortunately, I’m at the end of our rope.”

One of the complaints Coffland and Bethel have had with Homrighausen was his lack of presence at commissioner’s meetings to provide updates on any progress on his work, such as the power plant for example.

Homrighausen last appeared at a commissioner’s meeting approximately two years ago and acknowledged he hadn’t been present as he should and would begin doing so. But he has not been to another since.

Coffland further explained that they had also consulted with former Harrison County Prosecutor Owen Beethem on the matter, as well as current Prosecutor Lauren Knight.

basically been the message from postal service authorities from the beginning and apparently nothing has changed. Ossman continued and gave thanks to the people who have kept up on their properties, though, naming Grant Street as an example.

“I appreciate the people trying to take care of the places…”

Ossman said.

Also, some disappointing news Migliore shared with council was a grant applied for the Country Club Estates was rejected from last year’s request.

He said he hoped the process would be successful for applying in 2021. The project was for paving that road. Andrzejewski said the project’s cost was $305,000 and the village would get around 80 percent of that if

“Basically they were in agreement that this is something that outside counsel that has expertise in this area, should be retained,” Coffland said. “We’ve had numerous citizens ask us questions and when we ask those questions we’re not getting any answers. I believe the media has had the same result when it comes to the (HC) CIC and their providing answers to the public.”

As a response to that comment the last several emails to Homrighausen have not been answered stretching back to the summer, though, previously he had been very receptive to requests for comments on past stories.

President of the HCCIC Dale Arbaugh has also been accommodating in the past. An email to Homrighausen for this story was answered by Arbaugh via email, but had no comment on the matter.

“In regards to the matter that you eluded [sic] to, I have no comment at this time. We have had no communication or received any documentation regarding this matter you have eluded [sic] to,” Arbaugh explained.

Coffland continued stating

that one of the commissioner’s functions is to adhere to the finances of the county “and along with that we’re the only ones that hold title to property unless there’s an agreement in place, and we have concerns about that.”

Coffland said once they receive the advice they’re seeking from R&A then discussions will commence.

“We don’t know what options are available yet, we’re simply engaging with this firm now,” Coffland said. When Norris was asked for further comment he chose not to provide anything further.

“I think I made my comments earlier in the meeting,” Norris said. Bethel continued stating this was not their wish but felt they had no choice.

“This is not something that we look forward to doing. I wish we didn’t have to do this but if this wasn’t done I question my negligence as a commissioner,” Bethel said.

According to the agreement R&A will be charging $250 per hour versus their normal $350.

it had been approved.

Also, Street Superintendent Tim Hennis had requested a revamping of their break room in order to better social distance. Migliore said a request to add an “overhang” behind the building for storing equipment was also stated. After conferring with the auditor’s office COVID money could be used for the break room. It was said that Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros would need council to approve the request, which they later did for $15,000.

Another issue came from Council Member Eric Miller when he asked Andrzejewski about questions he’s fielded from residents regarding their water bill and if there is a set rate. He said some residents felt their rates have been the same but are not using the same amount each month.

Andrzejewski told him those were probably involving residents using the “minimum

usage.”

“Everything else fluctuates,” he said. “So, if you don’t use enough water for the minimum usage you get billed seventythree dollars I think it is. So if they’re getting the same bill be grateful cause they’re getting the minimum bill.”

Migliore also recognized Emily Wagner for restoring the Christopher Spring, as it is now fully functional again. He thanked her publicly for the work.

Lastly, Council Member Terry Capers nominated fellow Council Member John Vermillion as council president for the upcoming year. “…He did a great job in twenty-twenty and I think he’ll do a great job in twenty-twentyone,” he told council. The motion was approved.

The next regular scheduled council meeting is Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. inside the Cadiz EMS building.

Adena takes next step in school acquisition

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com ADENA – In a story reported last month regarding Adena’s old school house and a possible buyer, that issue was discussed again at Tuesday’s council meeting with a visitor thrown into the mix escalating the importance.

Robert Naylor, Executive Director of the Jefferson County Port Authority, (JCPA) paid a visit and spoke in front of council and to help explain the memorandum of understanding (MOU) the village approved with Martin E. Potts (Columbus) for the due diligence needed to see what can be done in preparations for selling it. According to law the village cannot outright sell a property, which is where the JCPA comes in to help in these matters. Dollar General is apparently looking in this area and Potts has inquired about the school building and property as a go-between.

Naylor was given the floor to kick off the meeting and explained he’s been working with Council Member RJ Konkoleski on this matter. After researching deeds on the property it was determined 120 days of due diligence would be given and council agreed.

“We’re with the Jefferson County Port Authority. We are the primary economic development agency for Jefferson County,” Naylor explained adding that their main

goal is “business retention” with duties going beyond that as well.

“I think that it’s nice to see that some of your properties are turning a corner but we have a long way to go in Jefferson County and we have some issues and I would just tell you that I believe our issues are workforce development,” Naylor told council stating a lack of connectivity as one reason but noted Adena as having good service (with Comcast) where other communities do not.

“We have to make the decision as to, we have to change the focus and the view, the perception of Jefferson County from why Jefferson County to why not Jefferson County,” Naylor said. He continued by stating that exciting things are happening in setting a vision for the future and hoped this would not be the last time he works with the village of Adena.

He said he hoped that this project would be the beginning of good things to come.

Mayor Brenda Roski then asked Naylor where exactly do they stand in regards to the school building and the possibility of a Dollar General store coming to the village. Naylor said that the JCPA normally charges a “conduit fee” for their service but said they would not be doing that here, other than for filing a deed for example. Naylor complimented Village Solicitor Adam Martello in

setting a time limit for due diligence to be completed.

Naylor said the question is whether Martin Potts Incorporated would be able to conduct the due diligence and whether any soil testing would be involved. Naylor said after the 120 days the village could still seek others if Potts doesn’t do it to their satisfaction. He called Adena a “food desert” and stated that Dollar General has been for years experimenting with combining their normal merchandise with a food store, which Adena desperately needs. “…I know that Dollar General is very aggressively moving and marketing in this area,” Naylor told council. He called the situation a win-win for Adena noting the employees it would hire with income for the village.

“And hopefully it can be somewhat of an anchor and get some synergy going for what could be here,” Naylor said. He further explained that the property would be handed over to the JCPA, handle the sale of that property then transfer the property to Potts repeating the description of a conduit sale.

“This is an asset that has been taken care of by the village of Adena and any benefit from that asset should flow to the village of Adena,” Naylor explained.

Scio sees grant approval for drain, sewer line project

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE SCIO - The separation of the storm drain and sewer line at the intersection of State Route 646 and East College Street is finally coming to fruition. The project has been approved through the Oil and Shall Grant and through additional funds provided by the Ohio Public Works Grant (OPWC). Time was running out as the first grant, the majority of the funds, would dissolve if unused.

Council was pleased to find that the second grant was approved just in the nick of time. The total project cost is estimated to be $750,000 dollars, and Scio is expecting a cash cost share of approximately $48,000. A meeting with the Village, ODOT, and Thrasher Group is scheduled for Jan. 21, to plan and proceed forward with the project. Eighteen months is the estimated timeframe, but village

personnel would like to see the project progress in a more expeditious manner, hopefully within twelve to fourteen months. These much needed repairs will improve the sanitary system in Scio, alleviate excessive flooding in the intersection, and expedite the transportation of oil and gas throughout the County as this is a critical junction point for the oil and gas transportation industry.

Scio’s efforts in regard to the CARES Act money are also coming to a productive end. All of the purchased items have arrived. Among such items are the things that are to make up the COVID-19 care packages.

Council members plan to meet this week to assemble these packages for each resident of Scio. Village employees are preparing a grid system of the streets to ensure no houses are missed during delivery. The mayor will announce via One

Call when residents can expect to receive the packages.

Scio is reapplying for triannual water testing, a schedule that would be less costly and less frequent than their current testing regiment. The Ohio EPA will send the village a list of twenty randomly selected names from Brown, Walnut, Maple and Grandview Streets. At least half will need to agree to water testing and water samples will need to be within acceptable limits for the application to be approved.

The Village also elected a new council president, Erin Thompson. Council members voted between two nominations for the position, which ended in a draw. Mayor Michelle Carpenter broke the tie with her vote. Council also set the day and time of public village meetings for the year. They will continue to be held on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m.

Treasurer to stop accepting in-office payents Harrison County Treasurer Vicki Sefsick has announced her office will not be accepting in office payments for the first half real estate taxes.

Tax payers are encouraged to make payments by check or money order through the mail or by credit card. Those wishing to make payment by credit card may contact the Treasurer’s Office at 740-942-8864.

This action is being taken due to the ongoing Covid19 pandemic.

Vaccinations approaching next phase in Har. Co.

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Another 70 COVID cases were reported this past week, according to Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome as he spoke at Wednesday’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting. That number matched last week’s total and has remained a steady distance from the triple digits the county saw for two consecutive weeks prior to last week.

Rhome also reported three more deaths due to COVID bringing the county’s total to 16. Presumed recovered stands at 580, which is

up from 447 from last week and active cases are now at 237, which is actually up since last Thursday’s 206.

Rhome said for hospitalizations in Region 8, Harrison County’s region, those are trending down.

“At least in the last two weeks [and] that’s a good sign, that’s a great indicator,” Rhome said. He also said they were seeing fewer contacts within cases making contact tracing much less burdensome.

“Also, more importantly, it should be slowing the spread in the community,” Rhome said adding that a positive person with fewer contacts should be slowing the

spread of the virus. But he added that after speaking of Monroe County and how they have the highest occurrence rate (per capita) in the state, Harrison County still ranks either in the top 20 or close to it.

Rhome then turned to the issue of vaccines and the scarcity in them. He said Phase 1a and Phase 1b will begin to intermingle a bit with 1a being for medical personnel and such and then 1b to serve the public ages 80 years-old and up.

“I think probably one of the key, key takeaways is simply the true scarcity, or the true limited supply of vaccine throughout the country

Dr. Barker walks away after long career

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Dr. Gary Barker, Cadiz native as is his wife Kathy, has decided to hang up his dental tools after a 42-year long career.

Barker began as an associate under Dr. Joe Ponzani in an office located behind Custer Pharmacy.

After eight years of holding someone else’s tools Barker went into business for himself and moved to 347 W. Spring Street in 1986 where he remained until this week. Officially, Barker will finish up Friday, then continue to aid for a little while in Dr. Cody Ching’s transition, the new occupant who will be taking over the business.

“I’ve had great employees,” Barker recalled this week when thinking of all who have worked with him. “A number have been with me a long time for which I’m grateful.” He also spoke of the wonderful patients who have supported him over the years with their loyalty. He spoke of family and friends in the area that became the glue in his life and noted the privilege of having family and friends to rely on.

And the influences of entering the profession of dentistry? His own research on the profession but he was also attracted to the “artistry,” as he called it, of the profession. He mentioned the medical and health aspects of it too, which many people probably are not aware of the affects of what bad teeth and gums can have.

“It’s worked out well for me,” Barker said of his life experiences in dentistry, especially working in

the community he grew up. He spoke admirably of Dr. Ching who is a Steubenville Big Red guy and also has family in the Ohio Valley area. But Barker calls his retirement bittersweet as the long hours and meticulous work come to an end, so do the encounters he’s had with his patients and people he’s worked with.

“I’m gonna miss everyone,” he said, which resonated in his voice.

“You don’t just walk away from something after forty years” without feeling the loss.

He again talked of how good people have been to him and not just people from the immediate area but also the surrounding communities as well. Barker said he hadn’t thought about retiring

much and when he hit 65 he realized he had no exit plan. After attending some seminars and rifling through information packets in order to hire a firm that would handle his transition, he did not sign with anyone. Then he was contacted by one of those firms he’d originally been in contact with who suggested Dr. Ching.

Dr. Ching said he’d been looking for a place since late summer but the COVID situation hampered those efforts somewhat.

“It seemed to have fallen into place,” Dr. Barker said regarding the whole encounter. “I want people to know it’s been a great experience and I appreciate everyone.”

and thusly Ohio, and thusly Harrison County Ohio,” Rhome explained. He also touched on the scarcity with regards to Moderna or Pfizer’s vaccines and how Americans are not used to being short on supplies of anything they want. But now is different until the ramping up of more vaccines, and more products begin to emerge.

“Everything, our plans, our community’s access to it really is still predicated on supply and you’re going to find a limited supply across Ohio,” he told the board. Then he addressed the phase that will vaccinate the 80 year-old group “sometime next

week.”

“We will take the liberty of more vaccine early next week, Monday or Tuesday and then within a day or two we will stand up and begin vaccinating” the residents of 80 years and above. Rhome repeated the fact that they have received a lot of interest from people wanting a vaccine, as he noted over the holidays.

Rhome said once the group of 80 year-olds are taken care they will then move onto age groups in tiers of five. For example, the next age group to receive the vaccine would be 75 year-olds, then 70 and so on.

He said over 1,000 people have submitted to a survey in

determining who qualifies and in what phase.

Rhome confirmed that the county is not backlogged with people waiting in line for the vaccine. He said Harrison County has not experienced that during the Phase 1a and added that they are not completely done with that phase.

In looking at the fatality ratio, the United States remained at 1.6 percent from last week. In fact the world level (2.1), Ohio (1.2) and Pennsylvania (2.4) all remained the same as last week. Only West Virginia change and actually increased by a tenth to 1.6 percent.

New Athens confronts ODOT agreement

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com NEW ATHENS – An issue that’s been discussed in several communities around Harrison County was present at the New Athens council meeting Monday evening. The issue is an agreement the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is asking villages to sign, which is basically an update to the original 1992 agreement dealing with road maintenance.

The agreement reads the same for New Athens as it does for other communities where ODOT will do the paving, plowing and markings on state roads within the village limits but the village is responsible for any damage caused

by ODOT. But the confusion seems to lie in a perceived $3,000 stipend mentioned by Jewett officials in past meetings.

Jewett officials were under the impression that they would receive a $3,000 stipend from ODOT for doing any mop-up work but no money is mentioned in other village agreements. At least Hopedale and New Athens are not aware of any stipend for highway maintenance.

Jewett Council Member Rick Meneely has objected to signing the agreement in recent past meetings because he felt potential damages would be greater than the $3,000.

Public Relations Officer for ODOT District 11, Lauren Borell stated that there is absolutely no stipend given by ODOT to villages in exchange for signing this agreement. She said the contract they are asking communities to sign is a statewide agreement with no changes to the original contract from the early

1990s. She said this is only an “update” and nothing more.

Borell did clarify that if the contract was not signed then ODOT would not provide snow and ice removal or any work inside village limits. She said this is not a Road Use Maintenance Agreement, which is only between the towns and a particular oil and gas company. ODOT has nothing to do with that and this updated contract they are asking towns to sign.

When New Athens council and Village Solicitor Travis Collins were made aware of Jewett’s issue, the discussion changed to a more cautious reaction to the proposed contract. Collins read the agreement and repeated the village’s obligations including granting ODOT the right of way in the village. Collins said he saw nothing in the contract that pays the village any stipend for fixing any potholes caused by ODOT’s work.

Collins then asked council what they would like to do and was told that ODOT fixes the potholes now. If Hopedale and New Athens receive anything for state highway maintenance, those council members were not aware or just didn’t mention it.

“They always fixed the potholes, there’s no potholes fixed until they fix them,” Petro said. “We’ve never patched potholes in the road (state roads within the village). Collins was also perplexed about the agreement because if there’s no offering of a stipend then why sign the agreement.

“I don’t see the point,” Collins said referring to the contract’s terms. “I don’t agree with that to be honest with you. I think the Ohio Revised Codes makes them responsible for state routes that go through…” Clerk Treasurer

Denise Geanangel suggested not signing anything until further inspection. She is also clerk treasurer in Hopedale and was also unaware of any particular stipend for the same agreement there as well.

“We’ve never patched anything before,” Petro repeated and added that it was something council needed to explore and not be responsible for potholes on state routes. A message left for ODOT had not been answered in time for this article.

Another ODOT issue was money that’s been approved for the village involving oil and gas money, according to Mayor Joe Petro. The amount announced was $124,000, which required an ordinance and was eventually approved. Petro stated that the village had to show damages to their roads from the oil and gas industry, which they did but the process for actually receiving the money leads to a longer trail involving a contractor they must get, for example.

Petro said Quicksall prepared the evidence, which has been sent to the state but the money won’t be seen until around July. Petro said a culvert at the main square will be repaired along with paving and widening of a section of road in that same area.

Petro was perplexed in all the delays and wasn’t sure how ODOT came up with the figure that they did, which was apparently based on the village’s evidence of damage. He said, according to the contract the village is responsible for anything beyond the $124,000 but they have no intention of going over that figure.

“We ain’t going over,” he told Collins.

Accident on 250 ties up traffic

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com HARRISON COUNTY – An accident that occurred a little after 5:30 a.m. Wednesday resulted in two people taken to Harrison Community Hospital (HCH).

Authorities on the scene felt the injuries were not serious and trooper Grubb of the Ohio Highway State Patrol confirmed that Matthew Johnson of Scio, and Ralph Sproull of Hopedale, were both taken to HCH, treated for minor injuries and released.

The accident took place on U.S. 250 eastbound to Harrisville.

Grubb stated that Johnson, who

was driving a white Dodge Ram, attempted to pass Sproull who was driving a semi-trailer hauling coal.

But an oncoming vehicle cut Johnson’s attempt short and as he tried pulling back to his lane clipping the front of the semi forcing both vehicles into the ditch.

Grubb said the pickup rolled over a few times and was seen with extensive damage as it was being towed away. Grubb also said that when he initially questioned Johnson was told that he was driving his pickup from the opposite direction and was forced off the road. But when questioned later at the hospital, he said

Johnson “came clean” stating he was attempting to pass the semi as he was driving in the same direction.

Sproull said he was traveling around 25 to 30 mph, according to Grubb, when the accident took place. Johnson was cited for improper passing.

The semi-truck barreled into a ditch to the side of the road but was kept from completely overturning by the hillside.

ODOT assisted in staging warning signs beginning at the square in uptown Cadiz and all along the road leading to the accident scene. The road was finally opened at 1:24 p.m.

In Memory

In Loving Memory of Steve Miles who passed away January 18, 2014 “The Broken Chain” We little knew the day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.

You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Sadly missed by Joy, Marcas, Nate, Jake, Rita and James, Mason, Bryce and Abbie, the counter crew staff and family and friends.

In Memory

Charles & Helen Myers

Woody & Letha McMannis

"We thought of you today, but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

We think of you in silence, we often speak your name.

Now all we have are memories, and your pictures in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part.

God has you in his blessing, we have you in our hearts."

With love, Joe, Sue and Evan

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy The Smithfield Historical Society and Alumni Museum is one of the great assets of our village, now a township. It started with Vic Ferrari, Bob Rish, Bob Cooper, Toni Phillippi, Frank Kovach, Mickey Helt, Larry and Charlie Greene and more of the Historical Society men, giving of their time to make it a place to hold dinners, programs with speakers, bake and soup sales, business meetings and a place for people to come and rest when the Apple Festival was in season. And don't get me started on the Apple Festival. It was the Flenniken Store back in earlier days and much shoppng was done there.

Judie Phillippi, Linda Kovach, Linda Helt, Evelyn Clouston, Nancy Congressi, who passed away recently (can't remember her married name}, and many great cooks and bakers have filled the

kitchen with many great aromas and cleaned it up. Presently, Judie is the decorator for the different seasons and does a great job.

A hall leads to the room that has furniture from the office of Dr. Jerry Thompson, along with surgery tools and a photo of him going on a sick call in a horse and buggy. There is a gigantic, roll top desk from the Smithfield Mayor's office that was there for the many years that I covered council, from 1973 on. It was so heavy that it was even thought it was making the floor in the council meeting room start sinking. Another room is called the Spartan Room. It has football, basketball and baseball uniforms and equipment that was used by the players in different feats over the years on display.

There is a picture of Jim George, destined to be a great football player but was killed in an airplane accident. Jack Cibulka was a basketball standout at Steubenville College, now Franciscan University. Gene Watkins was a fantastic football player for Ohio State.

There are multiple yearbooks on a table to search for a picture of a parent or relative, as they go back to 1936. There are many laughs at the haircuts of the boys and the hairdos of the girls. The girls basketball uniforms were almost to the knees, with matching tights underneath, in the event the skirt fluttered up. There have been many other standouts of our great school but I would have to go through many books to name them.

I am proud of the school that started in 1885 with two students and had 68 graduates in 1976., the biggest class that I could find. The board of Smithfield High School awarded diplomas for our boys who completed the U.S. Armed Forces Institute course because they left school to fight in World War II. They are: Eugene Clark, Andy DellaColetta, Ralph Dorrance, Theodore Espasandin, Paul Fabry, Charles W. Fields, Vonn Fox, George Hruschak, Andrew Janoski, Ross Johns, Alba Kala, Edward Omaits, Billy Ben Reynard, John Rudik, Benjamin Stanley, Clyde Stanton and Emilio Pastre. .

Classmates wanting to obtain the Smithfield High School class and address book from 1885 to 1972, when the school ended, with many memories left inside. Can contact John Borkowski editor; 9846 Alpine Drive, Kirtland, Ohio Home economics was a great class to learn how to sew, cook, clean house, wash clothes, and can food. You didn't waste anything.

If you had an overabundance of veggies or fruit, you dug out the big kettle called a canner, washed fruit jars and the produce, put it into glass jars and heated up the whole house with the steam coming from the big pot that brought the temperature up in the whole house even more in the summer. In home economics, we made bread that didn't always look like the Wonder Bread you can buy in the store, made pinafore aprons to wear to keep our clothes clean and learned how to repair tears in clothing and hem trousers.

Back then, I would never be known to say: “Those were the Days" but actually they were. You made do with what was in the house and didn't worry about getting new clothes for each season. Dishwashing liquid, if you were lucky enough to afford it, was used for shampoo if you ran out. Duz and Oxydol were used to wash dishes and sometimes the laundry and some people never locked their doors at night.

I have .a cookbook from the home economics class of 1952 and the recipe for a truly flaky piecrust uses lard. The dough should be kept cold while working on it and it should be handled as little as possible. A pastry flour is used n the making of cheese straws. This is a lighter flour..

There is a recipe for a carrot pie, grated raw carrots mixed in a vanilla pudding cooked from scratch. There is a mincemeat pie that uses up all the beef suet that comes on a dinner roast. I was going along with it until I heard about the meat fat. And all pancakes and muffins were made from scratch. Meaning sugar, shortening, eggs and flour. No boxed mixes.

How I got on this subject I don't know. I just wanted to write a story on our wonderful museum.

Thank you kind people for putting in our town.

Good News

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

Be the Remnant

A remnant is a left-over amount from something that was originally larger. I’ve seen remnant rugs advertised in the newspaper or on TV. It doesn’t mean that the remnant is inferior in quality, just smaller than what it was originally. In fact, the remnant can be a bit pricey simply because it’s the only thing left from the original.

Elijah learned what a remnant was. While being chased by a power-crazy Queen Jezebel he complained to the Lord that he was the only one left who loved God. He was wrong. God proceeded to tell him that He had reserved a remnant of 7,000 for Himself in Elijah’s homeland who had not bowed their knee to the false god Baal or kissed his image. Elijah’s story has all the earmarks of what many followers of Jesus feel like today.

As we are being chased and

friend Norma R. Vitagliano-miss ya.

Happy Anniversary and many more to Jerry & Toni Rippeth; Rob & Stacey Raber; and Cathy & Bruce Mills.

Deepest sympathy and prayers to the following families: Larry Lee Ward, Sr. 78 Hopedale; Donald A. Stine 83 Freeport; Myron Lemoyne Thompson 93 Cadiz; Robert W. Smith 42 Cadiz; and Pamella Knight Grimes 62 Cadiz.

Scripture for today: Exodus 10:21-23 The Plague of Darkness.

Pray for us with the different plagues, especially the COVID. God bless you all, Rev. Dr. Ruby Foutz, 740 9462925.

HOLLOWAY

By Susan Adams The Village of Holloway would like to extend deepest sympathy to Anita Holloway Schaeffer and her family at the passing of her son Brian Joseph Schaeffer, Jr. who passed away January 9th. Brian was born April 26, 1982 to Anita Holloway and the late Brian J. Schaeffer Sr. He is survived, in addition to his mother, by his wife Christina Hendershott Schaeffer, two sons Camron Basa, Brody Schaeffer; two daughters: Kylee Schaeffer and Arianna Schaeffer; three step-children: Anthony Barsotti, Josh Freeman and Emma Wilkins; one brother Joe (Sherry) Schaeffer, Holloway; one sister, Rachael Schaeffer. A full obituary in on the Warren Funeral Home web site.

The Holloway UM Church has a couple of rooms that are available for folks to rent for showers and anniversary parties etc. Contact Ruth Robertson 740968-4264 for information of cost etc.

Holloway UM Church is still holding services on Sundays at 9:30AM. Masks and social distancing will be recognized.

Everyone needs to have a safe place to worship. There is no time like now where we need God in our lives. Not able to attend, if one finds it in their heart, donations are always welcome.

Send to Holloway UM Church,

threatened by the Jezebel of our day and implored to bow and kiss the new morality, many believers wonder if there is anyone left who believes like they do. Does anyone still believe the words of Jesus that he is the only Messiah, the way, the truth and the life and that no one can come to the heavenly Father except through Him? Does anyone believe that there is a right way and a wrong way to live or is everyone like the people in the book of Judges where it says, “In those days everyone did what was right in their own eyes?” Solomon knew this well when he said in Proverbs 29: 18, “Without divine revelation people run wild, but one who follows divine instruction will be blessed.”

When you hold to a biblical moral compass and are force fed a view of society by a media that doesn’t, it can make one feel very alone. But

here’s the good news, you are not alone. God always preserves for himself a remnant.

You and I are that remnant and it is our privilege to take the Good News to a world that is running wild. Yes, there will be people who walk away from the faith. The apostle Paul had it happen to him. His traveling buddy in ministry, Demas, forsook Paul because, as Paul put it, “Demas loved this present world.” And there is the key to every believer’s success, love the future world more than you love the present world.

The Apostle Jude encouraged us to contend for the faith and have mercy on those who waver. We are not alone. As Elijah would later tell Elisha, “Those that be with us (Supernaturally) are more than be with them.”

As God’s remnant in the world today it is our privilege to take Jesus to a world running wild. Be the remnant!

Lady Huskies defeat Shamrocks, Riders

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - Last Thursday in Cadiz, the Lady Huskies varsity basketball team defeated visiting Barnesville by a score of 45 - 40.

The following Monday they went on the road and won a second close 3-point difference contest by defeating Martins Ferry by a score of 38 - 35.

Against Barnesville, the Huskies opened the contest by claiming the first quarter lead by a score of 6 - 5. Though the first 8 minutes reflected a low scoring quarter, play on the court made up the difference with high dividends paid through game action. The one constant in the Lady Huskies game has been that of coach Nick Yourkovich’s starting five.

From day one, Britton Positano, Audrey Corder, McKayla Dunkle, Maddy Butler and MacKenzie Harbold, have

shared the bulk of the points that has produced seven wins from 11 outing. In addition, and in support, should one starter be off their game, the other four steps up to tolerate the load. Senior Danyel Beadling also plays as part of the constant that produces wins.

Should a player need a break, or gets in foul trouble, Beadling has become Yourkovich’s initial go-to player in relief.

Against Barnesville the Huskies rounded out the quarter scoring by adding 9-points in the second quarter, 7 in the third and 9 in the final frame.

Leading the way for the Huskies was Audrey Corder.

Corder would pace the Huskies, with 14-points to her credit. She would work the boards nicely inside, while picking up her double 7’s. Dunkle finished with 11-points on the night and Positano threw in 10. Nine of Positano’s points came from

behind the arc, with all three shots tickling nothing but net.

Emma Fisher who had a good junior varsity showing, came in off the bench and scored 4points, while starters Butler, Beadling and Harbold evenly shared 6-points.

In the junior varsity game, the Huskies lost in a second half shootout, where they scored 16points of a 28 total, while Barnesville scored 10 of their 32. Danica Rensi scored 10points to lead all Husky scorers, with 3 of the points coming from downtown. Angie Ferri finished with 9-points, with one shot also coming from behind the arc. Emma Fischer had-6 points, Kalli Lewis had 2 and Kayln Ledger had 1.

In Monday night’s win in Ferry, Dunkle led 15 points, Positano had 10 points, Corder had 8, Butler had 3 and Harbold 2. Positano also was credited with a bonus field goal.

Shown in the defensive mode are Huskies Mackenzie Harbold (22), Danyel Beadling (5), Audrey Corder (4), McKayla Dunkle (10) and Britton Positano (3).

CADIZ – There hasn’t been a lot of basketball to speak of so far this season for Justin Clifford and his Harrison Central Huskies. In a “normal” year, the squad would be halfway through their slate and inching closer to a more clear postseason picture. However, as we all know, this is not a normal year.

As it stands this weekend, the Huskies have suited up just eight times. In three of those eight contests, they did so with just six players. Taking that into consideration, a 5-3 mark through the first month and a half isn’t all that bad.

After a long break during the Holidays that saw three contests fall into the “re-schedule” category, the Huskies have picked back up after the new year with mixed results. Wins against Martins Ferry and John Glenn were both followed up by setbacks. One of those to Steubenville Big Red, and another where they fell victim to

an upset at the hands of the Bellaire Big Reds. Both of those matchups were played on the road.

The 60-49 defeat in

Steubenville wasn’t a headturner by any means, as Big Red has been on a roll ever since their Dec. 19th showing at the CONTINUED NEXT PG.

JEWETT - The Harrison Central varsity boys and girls bowling teams both picked

up a win on Tuesday night at the Jewett Bowling Lanes.

Taking the hit from the outing was the visiting Potters of East Liverpool. In getting to the double win,

the Husky boys rolled a 2427 - 2426, getting by the Potters by a single pin.

The girls won their match by 166 pins and a score of 1893 - 1727.

Trevor was the top individual bowler for the boys with a 455, while Tory Thompson was the top bowler for the girls with a 401 score.

7th grade Huskies battle Edison The junior high boys basketball team continued play on Saturday against Edison Local.

The seventh grade Huskies led

throughout the game. Final score was 23-19 with Cain Dunkle leading the team in scoring with 6 points.

FROM PREVIOUS Buckeye Eight Challenge. The 55-53 loss to Bellaire this past Tuesday on the other hand was indeed a surprise. The Huskies have been dominant in that series in recent years, beating the Belmont County outfit in every tip dating back to 2018, with an average margin of victory of 35 points. The Big Reds held Harrison’s gamebreaker Kobe Mitchell to 20-points, something not a lot of teams have been able to do to a player that is averaging over 30-points a game. The Huskies had the final possession in the All-American City with under three seconds remaining, but failed to get up a shot as time expired. The Bellaire result makes it two losses in the Buckeye Eight South Division for the Huskies, a number that may be tough to overcome when it comes time to decide who plays for the league’s Championship in February against the North Division winner.

In a precursor to the Bellaire matchup, the Huskies played host to the John Glenn Muskies last Saturday night in Cadiz, and they got a much better result. In a game rescheduled from early December, a relatively tight three quarters gave way to a 62-51 victory, as the Huskies opened up the floor and sank their free-throws late to pick up their fifth victory of the season. Mitchell poured in a season-high 42 tallies, 19 of which came in the final eight minutes. John Glenn put three players into double digits, but it still wasn’t enough to overcome Mitchell and company on his home floor. As a team, Clifford’s group shot 17 of 21 from the charity stripe.

Jonathan Vermillion with eight, and freshman Hayden Cassidy with seven were the other key contributors in the

victory over the Muskies of the Muskingum Valley League.

In a 68-48 comfortable victory at Martins Ferry on Jan 5, Mitchell once again was the headliner. The senior scored 35points, an effort that was aided by 12-marks out of teammate Jonathan Vermillion.

Mitchell is closing in on another career milestone, as he will push towards 2,000 career points this weekend. The AllOhio star and his teammates

BLOOMINGDALE-Students at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School will compete later this month in a variety of skillsets, but this year's contest will have some changes due to COVID-19.

The annual Spotlight on Skills competition is set for Jan. 27-28 and students in academic and lab programs will participate in a series of events throughout the day. Each school program has a student organization and pupils will compete to earn spots in regional competitions.

SkillsUSA includes about 80 percent of the students while other groups include the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), Future Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), Business Professionals of America (BPA) and the Future

Farmers of America (FFA). The technical trade skills portion centers on more hands-on knowledge while the leadership segment views softer skills from CPR/First Aid to job interviews.

Principal/Supervisor Dan Hartman said judging will be conducted differently in order to follow safety protocols amid the pandemic. In the past, community members and business

representatives have been invited to participate during the competition, but that has been changed to limit the amount of people inside the school building.

"We will offer virtual judging or we will put [contests] on YouTube so the judges can watch them," Hartman said. "They can also come after school to judge entries."

He added that the usual awards

ceremony will also be altered and winners will be recognized through public announcements that Friday. Gold, silver and bronze awards will be distributed and top placers advance to regional competitions around February and March. Those who excel at the regionals have a chance to compete at the state events and potentially advance to the national level.

will welcome the Purple Riders to campus Friday night to close out that season series, and then will head to Cleveland this evening to take on Olmstead Falls on the floor that the Cleveland Cavaliers play on inside Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Harrison’s most decorated athlete stands just 47 points shy of cracking an impressive list of all-time hoopers across the state of Ohio.

Common pleas sees busy court day

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – After re-scheduling many cases last week the Harrison County Common Pleas courtroom got back to a full nine innings but one big name did not see any progress on the record.

Samuel Farnsworth of Cadiz, hasn’t appeared in court, or via videoconference in some time but Prosecutor Lauren Knight said there is progress towards a resolution in the case. No further comment on the matter was given. For a time it appeared Farnsworth was bent on heading to trial but that may now change.

Another case high up on the ladder was for John Burgess, 78 of Flushing, charged with two counts of gross sexual imposition, both felonies of the fourth degree. His attorney John Watters appeared inside the courtroom briefly speaking with Judge T. Shawn Hervey, but nothing was placed on the record. He is to receive an Ohio Risk Assessment (ORAS) and will probably return to court next week.

Also, Errol J. Swaby’s case finally came to an end when he pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a felony of the fourth degree.

A second charge of sexual imposition, a misdemeanor of the third degree, was dropped.

Swaby was not represented by an attorney and repeatedly told Hervey he did not want one when Hervey gave him all the opportunity to do so. Swaby will serve 18 months in prison with a reserve prison sentence and to be classified as a Tier 2 sex offender. This means Swaby cannot live within 1,000 feet of a school or daycare center for 25 years. He will also be required to complete the program at Eastern Ohio Correction Center as well.

Hervey pointed out that Swaby had submitted a motion recanting a statement he had made to a sheriff ’s deputy. Hervey informed Swaby that with his guilty plea the judge would not be acting on that motion, which Swaby acknowledged.
