Commissioners see busy week, approve budget revisions

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison County Commissioners conducted the unusual task of holding two meetings this week.

The first was on Monday stating certain issues had to be taken care of early in the week in consideration of the new year. On Monday, the commissioners approved to accept submissions for design on the Freeport

sanitary improvement project.

Commissioner Dale Norris read the public announcement and stated that submissions would be accepted until 4 p.m. on Jan. 28, 2020.

Also, the 2020 budget announced last week was revised as they previously stated would be a possibility. The announced general budget of $7.4 million-plus was revised this week to $7.3 million-plus, a difference of $76,937.05. The special revenue

budget was also revised from its original figure of $26,141,000-plus to an increase of $151,125.58 or, $26,294,754.49.

Norris also announced a grant to fund an environmental report supplied

by RCAP, “to the U.S. Army Corps requirements.” The total cost was read as $8,500 and the contractor is Great Lakes Community Action Partnership.

Commissioner Paul Coffland reminded the board that the funds are

paid for through the USACE grant.

On Wednesday Brandi Simmons, representing the engineer’s office, introduced for approval four Road Use Maintenance Agreements (RUMA), which the board eventually approved.

All four involved EAP Ohio LLC with the first (1-20) being in German and Green Townships for 2.8 miles of Harrison 4 and parts of Harrison 19 (only German Township), and 1.5 miles of Harrison 49.

The second RUMA (2-20), read by Commissioner Coffland also involved German and Green Townships and another 2.8 miles of Harrison 4 “for drilling activity.”

The third RUMA (3-20) for horizontal drilling projects and infrastructure, as described by Coffland involved Archer and Cadiz Townships in order to “develop the Davis Trust.”

Arrest results in massive haul in Cadiz

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – An arrest of Ronald Matusik, of 121 Hershey Road, Lot 4rear shed in Cadiz, was taken into custody Monday afternoon after a search warrant was served on that shed he was living in as well as his vehicle.

The items stolen from approximately eight to 10 campers at Sally Buffalo Park took on the look of a hardware store and was estimated at well over 500 items and authorities said could be much more. Some of those items were a lawn mower, numerous tools, several plastic tubs heavily weighed down with items, plus household items including a coffee machine and other items too numerous to list.

Lt. Ron Carter of the Cadiz Police

Department, along with Police Chief Ryan McCann and CJ Byers arrested Matusik just after 2 p.m. without incident. Carter said Matusik has been arrested for this before. McCann said Matusik and two others were involved in a theft that resulted in three times the amount of items as this. He said Matusik served time in jail for that where both crimes covered only a few days time.

Authorities asked the owners of stolen property to be patient as it will take some time to sift through the massive amount of stolen goods, which took up two complete shelves in the police department’s evidence room.

Carter stated that anyone living at Sally Buffalo Park and suspect they are missing anything are to contact the Cadiz Police.

Evidence from the Cadiz Police evidence room shows two shelves full of stolen goods from Sally Buffalo Park this past week. Ronald Matusik was arrested and has yet to be seen in court. Matusik was arrested years ago for a similar crime that involved co-defendants.

MarkWest donates Christmas gifts to Har. Co. Home

CADIZ - During the Christmas Holiday, the employees from MarkWest Energy brought lots of smiles of joy to the faces of the residents of the County Home; that joy came in the form of gifts.

The company was more than generous with their offerings, and each resident received a fair share of bundles.

“We were able to collect approximately $5,000 that we were able to share with your residents at the County Home, and

the residents at Catherine’s Care Nursing Home in Steubenville,” said company spokesman Holly Williams. “These donations were from our Cadiz Administrative Building Employees/Contractors of MarkWest and from Contractor Companies: Border Patrol, McCarl’s and Erb Electric. With everyone’s’ contributions, it made this event very successful and joyous for all residents during the holidays. I had a lot of assistance with my team here at the Cadiz Administration Building getting this event off the ground from shopping,

Sports

preparation of bags, loading up trucks and delivering. We want to thank the County Home you for giving us this opportunity,” Williams added.

The administration and the staff at the Harrison County Home wishes to thank MarkWest Industries for considering our residents. Because of the thoughtfulness of companies such as MarkWest Energy, the full reality of the holidays is experienced by our residents. If we did not have the support of our local businesses, churches, private individuals and families, our holidays would not be as joyous and appreciated.

Lieutenant Detective Robert Toker of the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office has reported a scam that has been reported to the Sheriff’s Office.

A few concerned local residents have brought the scam to the attention of investigators. The scam begins with victims being contacted about having their automobiles “wrapped” by an advertiser. The scammers will often sound legitimate and even use common corporate names such as PetCo or Monster Energy Drink to entice the victims.

The perpetrators will promise a weekly payment for the advertising to be placed on the victim’s vehicle. Often times this amount is promised to be hundreds of dollars a week.

The perpetrators will then send a “cashier’s check” to the victim. The check will look authentic and will often times have a Capital One Bank logo, a perforated tear and other alleged security features on the back of the check. The check will be written in the

Region

Events

amount much higher than the agreed upon advertising payment. The victim will be instructed to deposit the check into their personal account. Once the cashier’s check is deposited they will be instructed to send the difference of the cashier’s check and the agreed upon advertising payment via wire transfer.

After the money is transferred from the victim’s account the check returns as being fraudulent, leaving the victim responsible for the money they transferred at the onset of the scam.

Lt. Toker states to his knowledge no local resident has fallen victim to this scam as of yet but the Sheriff’s Office wishes to make the citizens aware of this situation.

It is important to understand that no legitimate advertiser is going to solicit advertising via email or over the telephone. Never give out any personal information to anyone including bank account numbers and social security numbers unless conducting legitimate business in person.

New Athens searches for new police officer

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com NEW ATHENS – The resignation of New Athens Police Officer, Charles Hayes, last month has left the village scrambling once again for a new police officer. This doesn’t mean they are without protection as council stated the Ohio Highway State Patrol has made their presence felt “pretty heavily,” as stated by Village Administrator Tosha Giesey.

“I mean it’s actually very heavy,” Council Member Mark Arnold said. Possibilities were discussed where Mayor Joe Petro brought up the possibility of having sheriff’s deputies patrol as extra work after they’re finished with their own duties of patrolling. But, as its been noted in the past the sheriff cannot order his deputies to patrol another village as extra work, that is done on a strictly volunteer basis.

“It’s all volunteer, there’s no

forcing because they are required to work eight hours at the sheriff’s department,” Petro explained. “So, after they finish their shift if they want to work extra…they can come down here for two, four (hours) whatever they want to come down here for if they want to. He’s (sheriff) not ordering anyone, it’s on a voluntary basis. So that’s where we stand there.”

Another point raised was how would the village know that a deputy was there and for how long, which Petro said was a good question. Various scenarios were discussed including pay, which they noted had been $18 per hour where it was raised to $20 because of part time as an incentive. When Hayes moved to full time the pay dropped back down to $18.

“But I for one am definitely against it,” Martin told council referring to hiring a sheriff’s deputy. Arnold said he had been leaning towards hiring a deputy but after considering that they do

have a police cruiser as well as a levy in place for police, he changed his mind.

“You know if you lose your police then most likely lose that, would you ever be able to get it back I’m wondering,” he said regarding the levy. He added that other issues were that the village couldn’t ask for certain hours from deputies because it would be on a voluntary basis and there is no guarantee when they would show up and wouldn’t know for how long.

Arnold also brought up the cruiser and what to do about it if it wasn’t used by their own police officer. They all discussed maintenance on the vehicle and addressing the issue is inevitable.

Arnold then asked council if they want to go through the whole process of hiring another officer again while risk losing him, or her to the sheriff ’s office in the future.

“We don’t have to sign up, we don’t have to do anything,” Petro

said of hiring a sheriff ’s deputy.

Arnold then asked why Cadiz police officers can’t come and work some extra time in New Athens.

“And I think there was at one time one or two of them would come down here and work and they wasn’t allowed, so why not?”

Arnold asked then answered with the word “conflict.” He noted that Lt. Ron Carter, who works for Cadiz, is also the Jewett chief of police and felt that was a conflict.

“I think we just got wrapped up into a bad mess with our previous employee and who knows what was said,” Giesey told council referring to when current Cadiz police officer Jason Simmerman worked as the chief of New Athens and resigned after a dispute when he alleged that one of his officers was fired by Petro,

Wheeling Hospital recently purchased two “Stop the Bleed” kits for the Belmont-Harrison Vocational School District. One will be placed at the St. Clairsville campus and the other at the Cadiz campus. The two schools have about 400 students. The staff at both schools were taught “Stop the Bleed” last year by Wheeling Hospital personnel. In the next month the hospital will return to both campuses to teach all the students “Stop the Bleed.” The kits cost a total of $1,200 and contain tourniquets, scissors , combat dressings, gloves and large wound dressings. From left are: hospital Emergency Medical Services Coordinator Jeff Gazdik; school Superintendent Richard Schoene; and hospital Executive Vice President Kareen Simon.

Member Matt Litman said was expensive.

Arnold said this process of hiring another officer would need to be more organized than they have in the past.

“We’ve got to have our act together…” Arnold stated.

Martin said “we need to be tougher on everything” referring to what exactly is expected of the officer and have everything inventoried. Council agreed to advertise for a police officer with a 90-day probation period.

Also, the village is taking orders for memorial bricks for their Memorial Park and are now available through Feb. 26. The price is $50 each. Anyone interested is encouraged to call the village office at: 740-968-6181.

Council Member Nancy Martin will respond.

which he denied doing so at the time.

Lt. Carter said that it was not true that Cadiz police could not work in New Athens or any other village.

“Our officers are allowed to work other jobs as long as it doesn’t interfere with their full time duties at the Cadiz Police Department,” he said when reached Thursday. Arnold said if they were going to hire an officer as their own they would need to act soon, which Martin agreed.

“We got a car we might as well and try and get another,” Council Member Joe Tomolonis said.

Petro also said he would look into shutting down the Leads system they subscribe to, which police use for information. Arnold then asked what it would cost to have it reactivated to which Council

CADIZ – After new Mayor John Migliore opened last Thursday’s meeting with thanks and congratulations to former mayor Ken Zitko who was in attendance, the meeting flowed to its regular tune. From there the new mayor finally got to express his concern for certain issues and areas of the Cadiz community later rattling off several projects he would like to see get done.

“We had a mayor and council that just left us for several years and how thankful we are for the work that they did…” Migliore said to open up the proceedings. After Council Member John Vermillion was approved as the next council president things began to roll.

It was clear that Migliore came in packed with a plan and it began under New Business where he wished to set “new directions” for the local community in the coming year. The first issue was a piece of property that was part of Sally Buffalo Park, which he said was just off of Grant Street.

“What I’d like to do is declare it as a surplus land and have it laid out into lots and sold to generate some revenue for the village, and improve new homes for the community and get that part developed,” Migliore told council.

He suggested lots could consist of 100 by 200 feet and felt since the village has possession of the land called it a good opportunity for extending “our population.”

“If you think about it every time we’ve ever had any kind of development in this community it’s been sold out,” Migliore explained then used the Country Club as an example. He felt there

was a need for lots to develop in Cadiz and asked to use their excess land for that purpose.

After asking Mastros if this could be done Mastros said a search for any restrictions on the property, such as a deed would need to be done then asked about water and sewer availability, which Migliore said there was.

“Everything is there,” he said.

Mastros said regarding the selling of lots they could go through the Community Improvement Corporation where they could, and have been, acting as the village’s agent. Mastros also said they could just put those lots out for bid and go that route.

Mastros continued stating that the surveying of the land and to make sure it is zoned properly were steps to be taken, but the biggest issue he said, would be checking for deeds.

Migliore also took issue with the conditions the street department is working around. He encouraged other council members to walk through the area if they haven’t already.

“I’m telling you, I think that it’s terrible that we ask our employees to work in conditions like that,” Migliore told council. He suggested the pursuing of an architect for design areas in order to store village equipment. He said there was plenty of room to build some storage sheds. He said he would like to see the current building being shared by the street and water departments to be designated as the street department and make “other arrangements” for the water department for their storing of equipment.

“There’s no way our community should stand for something like that,” he said referring to the

condition of some doors and the poor heating arrangement where he said they were using a blow torch to heat some parts.

Vermillion stated that with the current finances the project “could” happen but stated that the issue was finances, “that’s the problem we’re at with the finances.”

Migliore said he would contact someone only to see what the costs would be before.

In other matters Migliore also reminded council that as of the second billing of the year is when water residents will see their rates rise to an additional $8.35. Any additional expense would obviously depend on how much water a customer uses.

“Whether you use a drop of water or not it’s going to cost you eight dollars and thirty-five cents more,” he explained. “And then there’s a scale that you know, the more you use the more you’re going to pay.

So, I just want to make the public aware that that’s in our future.”

Council Member Terry Capers stated that there would be notices of this included in the next water bill. Village Administrator Costa D. Mastros emphasized that this was because of the updates that are coming and some that have already been installed, to their water and wastewater systems.

Another issue discussed was a new sign for Sally Buffalo Park.

Migliore said everyone who contributed to the new playground would have their name on it.

Vermillion asked if it was a sign where names could be added but said he would at least like to see a final draft before the sign is made final.

Cadiz reveals new Adena searching for grant, committee members, has offer to sell mineral rights receives EPA approval

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

ADENA – New Adena Mayor Brenda Roski opened Tuesday’s meeting pleading for help from her council members on issues such as committee work but basically laid down the law as to what was expected of Adena’s public officials.

“I have resignation letters,” she said to no one in particular after the issue of committee work was raised and if anyone had any problems with their assignments.

“I need the six of you to promise me that we will work together and let’s make it better, that’s my goal,” she told council.

But she also repeated what she’d said several weeks ago before officially taking over that she would not be looking into the past and searching for blame for what wasn’t done.

“That’s not the answer, we need to move on,” she repeated.

“And that’s my motto, we’re not going back and beating the past we’re moving forward but we’ve got some issues…” she requested an executive session for later in the meeting and mentioned finances specifically.

Also, Carolyn Petrovski, an employee of Purple Land Management and PLM Ohio Realty paid council a visit as a

representative of Ascent Resources. She said the company was offering to buy the village’s mineral rights by selling their current lease.

Petrovski said she was there to gauge the village’s interest in selling their lease, which consists of “4.4 acres” and a second parcel consisting of “5.4 acres.”

“So, Ascent has us doing is reaching out to folks and seeing if there’s any interest. You’re not obligated to do anything,” she explained. Petrovski said she was requesting a signature from the mayor only to signify if the village is interested. She stated she could not prepare an offer unless the village signed the paper. She also said the offer could take two weeks to two months to prepare.

Roski then asked her if Ascent was planning on “coming in to the village,” which Petrovski said she didn’t know if they were planning on drilling in Adena since she does not work for Ascent.

“So, the lease would go away and you would get one lump sum,” Petrovski told council.

“And if you don’t like the numbers you can turn it down.”

She confirmed to Roski that the document, if signed, is not an obligation to sell their lease, it’s only to receive a quote.

Council Member Shelly

Masloski told council, though, do not sell if Ascent was planning on drilling. But the issue was no one knows if they do plan on drilling and if they don’t drill there is no royalties paid even though the village would still have the lease, if they choose not to sell. That is the dilemma council will have to decide for themselves. Mayor Roski signed the document but council made no decision as of yet.

Moving on, Street Superintendent Andy Whiteman addressed road work where he received a price on patch material from the county.

But since none was available he purchased two tons from Martins Ferry with all two tons used to patch Adena streets.

“If we can afford more we can put more out but patch is all in all, a temporary measure. So, I don’t know what we’re going to be able to do for grants to try and repair some of these roads in the future,” Whiteman explained. Roski commended Whiteman for the work he did noting the 4,000 pounds of patch he laid down “and I appreciate the effort, I really do and I thank you very much.”

Council also approved for having their riding mower and chainsaw fixed and upgraded.

Council also briefly discussed

the Blairmont Road situation where Roski said they were at a standstill. She said slip repair work is the issue there.

“We’re up to almost two years, I got a call from ODOT and from OMEGA. I’m working with them [and] I’m looking for a matching grant and I have a lady that’s going to call me first thing in the morning and we’re going to be moving on that,” Roski explained. She said an environmental study has been done and a right-of-way was purchased but then “it stopped.”

Newly appointed Council President Mark Anderson told Roski there had been $18,000 available as part of a matching grant. He said it was intended to be “passed forward” but didn’t know what the ultimate holdup was. Roski repeated that she’s been contacted by the two government agencies and that “they want to do it” but told council the village needs to do what needs completed on their end to secure the grant.

“They know we have no money so they’re helping, okay?” Roski said.

The next meeting, which is in March was rescheduled for the first Tuesday of the month but only for March. In April they will return to meetings on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m.

CADIZ – Last Thursday under new leadership from Mayor John Migliore sitting in once again in his former position, the Cadiz village council released the new committee appointments with some remaining in positions they had last year.

For the Finance Committee: Terry Capers (chair), newly elected Council Member Eric Miller and John Vermillion; for Street: John Vermillion (chair), Terry Capers and Chace Smith; Police: John Vermillion (chair), Eric Miller and Chace Smith.

For Emergency Services: Terry Capers (chair) and Dan Ossman; Youth & Recreation: Dan Ossman (chair) and newly elected Council Member Billy Hyde; Cemetery: Dan Ossman and Eric Miller; Property & Lights: Dan Ossman (chair), John Vermillion and Eric Miller; Employee Relations: Eric Miller (chair), John Vermillion and Dan Ossman; Safety: John Vermillion (chair) and Billy Hyde; Water/Sewer: Terry Capers (chair), John Vermillion and Chace Smith. Community Improvement Corporation

members represented by the village are: Terry Capers, John Vermillion and John Migliore.

Also announced by Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski, which he called “significant,” was that the EPA has approved the engineer’s plans and design for the upgrades to their water treatment plant. The upgrades are necessary to support the increased demand the anticipated Harrison Power Plant will need to operate.

Andrzejewski said that the village can now make the next steps necessary to get this done, which is bid specifications “for the equipment and installation.”

“This is very good news as this should ensure that we receive the $1 million loan forgiveness as well as the additional funds in a low interest loan should we need it,” he stated in his report.

Andrzejewski said he would then meet with the engineering firm, CT Consultants in the next few weeks for further preparations. The project is estimated to be a little over $1.5 million. The correct wording of the loan forgiveness is “up to” $1 million, which they are now in the driver’s seat for obtaining.

LMI study stressed in Hopedale

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HOPEDALE – With the 2020 census closing in Harrison County Commissioner, Paul Coffland paid a visit to the Hopedale council meeting Wednesday evening to remind them of the importance in getting the word out.

Coffland also asked for help in getting everyone counted as the numbers produced could go a long way in obtaining grants, for example. He reminded council of a census representative who already approached the commissioners in early December stressing the importance of zeroing in on the groups who have been difficult in counting in the past.

“Here’s really what it comes down to, the census provides a number of funding opportunities from the federal government to the state, which trickles down to us,” he explained. He also stated that the state “lost two congressional seats” and told council that, “as of right now we are teetering on losing another one.”

“Between North Carolina, Georgia and one section of New York depending on how the census comes out, we could stay the same or we could possibly

lose another congressional seat in the state of Ohio,” Coffland explained.

Coffland emphasized the federal funding for streets and water and sewer projects that are crucial to a community, which trickles down from the federal and state levels. He noted Congressman Bill Johnson’s (RDistrict 6) influence in securing $1 million in aid for Freeport’s study on their sewer project.

“Those are all projects that are very important here to the local level,” he said adding that it’s the people that get “under-counted” that need to be discovered. He said veterans were one group that is not counted properly and children under five years of age are another group that gets missed. The Amish community was another one that gets left behind for some reason.

“But those are all communities that are probably growing in Harrison County and we’ve got to make sure we get them to fill out the forms,” Coffland stated.

He also said some events are going to be in the near future across the county but some of the work would be able to be accomplished online.

“We’re going to tie some events together with the library system since they have availability.” He said there will

be someone there to assist for filling out the forms, especially with the technology. He said the process could take as little as 10 minutes to fill out a form online.

Pelegreen said going door-todoor with forms is also important and was a great help in a previous census’ they conducted.

“That’s always important,” Coffland said. He also encouraged council members to raise the issue in conversations and post reminders in places where people gather, such as churches and other social gatherings.

Also, the subject then turned to grants and Pelegreen reminded Coffland that the village has been turned down for a second time for the Ohio Public Works grant, which happened last month. He said two were applied for with one being for their new water tank project and the other for paving streets. He said they only missed by four and three points respectively. But those grants were worth from $400,000 to $500,000.

Later, Don Quicksall of W.E. Quicksall and Associates presented some plans for that water tank project and after much discussion, will take the

plans back to do updates then bring them back to the village for review.

Also, Pelegreen talked of their Low-to-Moderate (LMI) study that’s just been completed where he thanked Council Member, Don Jochims for the work he did on that. Jochims stated they were currently at 186 studies taken and still going.

“We’re getting there pretty close then, huh?” Pelegreen asked. He felt confident that they would qualify, which the line to meet is having at least 51 percent of the residents or more at having low to moderate incomes.

“You can apply for some money,” Pelegreen said if they qualify. He also touched on the coming demolition of the Hopedale school, which they are third in line after Cadiz, which has now been brought down with Scio being second.

Pelegreen also said he felt the village was able to accomplish many things in 2019 for being a small community. He then rattled off the many items that were taken care of last year, which included: All three shelters roofs being replaced, as well as many other works there and around the village.

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy January always gives me something to be excited about, such as the startup of a new 4-H year. I loved it when I was a member of the Crafty Stitchers, with Lucille Dincan and Sissy Kemple as our advisers. I loved it when our son, Larry, was in it, with Lucille Piergallini and Judee Parkinson as advisers, with one more adviser but Larry’s framed certificate from 1977 does not have advisers listed and I cannot remember the third one. Give me three things to remember and in just five minutes time I will only be able to give you two answers back.

I had the pleasure of talking with Caity Romshak, that is the right spelling of the first name, the new Harrison County Extension agent and she has a huge amount of energy and excitement about working in the county. She comes from Belmont County Extension and had tutoring with Jane Keyser, who

many will remember from years back. But it will not be the younger members who will remember. This was like ten or more years back. Anyhow, look for good things to come from The Ohio State University Extension.

Notice I capitalized the “t” in the word “The”. Joyce Barr, Cadiz Ranchers and a member for 12 years, came in the Top 15 in competition for the Ohio State Fair queen contest. With all the contestants participating, this is quite an accomplishment. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clint Barr and granddaughter of Joyce Klingler.

Katherine Whinnery attained the title of queen about 5 years ago in Jefferson County. It is nice to see young ladies from our two counties come to the top of the list. It shows that they had great training in 4-H and other groups.

We still see Katherine at the fairs helping her mother, Vickie, with the junior fair coordinators job.

Angie Allison, Jefferson County Extension agent, tells that Robin Wedlake, Jefferson County Equine State Liason, 4-H youth and volunteers assisted with the filming of the state horse safety video at Blue Magnum Stables. Ohio State University specialist Dr. Kimberly Cole and her assistants did a great job directing the training video but all who helped were the stars, according to Allison. “I cannot wait to see OSU’s Department of Animal Sciences release of the video for training to be used statewide. We have a lot to be proud of in Jefferson County,” she said. The horse subcommittee is tentatively scheduling the 2020 Horse Camp for May 29-31 at Friendship Park. Those who will have a conflict with graduation ceremonies need to call the office at 740-264-2212 to take scheduling conflicts into consideration.

The Brilliant Lions Club members are holding a Valentine’s Dinner for their wives in February.

They have entertainment and door prizes along with an excellent dinner served. There is nothing better than a dinner you don’t have to prepare for yourself. I’m all for it.

I can’t tell you if this first aid hint heals or not because I never have pumpkin seeds around when I get a boo-boo. But the Arthritis Today magazine tells to reach for pumpkin seeds. The high zinc content promotes healing and helps repair and regenerate tissue faster. Now my thought was that you put the pumpkin seeds on the wound but my family tells me it means to digest them. Do I have to spit out the seeds in an unmannerly way just as the baseball players do? Do athletes from other sport do this spitting shells thing too? The magazine tells that laughter can be the best medicine. In that case, my family should get well fast because they are always laughing at something I say.

Something that was not to laugh at was the bad chest pains that struck Lamont on Jan 8, I called 911 immediately and the Dillonvale and Shortcreek ambulance services appeared. I don’t know if I caused the mix up but I truly appreciate the fact that they both are speedy and on the job. Thanks ambulance staff.

Anyhow, Lamont is home and has some heart doctoring and healthy eating to do that does not include salt or sugar. This makes for a terrible untasty meal but I am trying to work with herbs, spices and vinegars. We also met Richard and Rita Straub Habig of Tappan Lake there. Richard was the next-bed patient to Lamont at Trinity West. It is always nice when you have a nice roommate.

The post office, bank, and city building will be closed on Monday Jan. 20 to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I forgot to put this bit in from last week, my dad Patsy Ross would have been 96 on Jan. 5, but passed on Nov. 7, 2000.

Get-well thoughts to Rose McKnight, Jim Carman, Jerry Capers, Bessie Blythe, Faye McAfee, Dianna Dunlap, Leisa Baker, Glenn Christy, Nettie Smith and Andy Pelegreen.

Happy Birthday wishes, cake, ice cream etc. for those who will be celebrating: Mayor Mike Pelegreen, Elma Kralik, Michael Wilkens (50!), Lisa Kimball, Tenley Telfer, Diane Howard Coffland, Olivia Schaney and any other I do not know about or have forgotten.

Happy 48th anniversary to Allen and Kerry Lazear on January 22nd, wishing them many more happy years together.

Here are some wacky, zany days: January 11th is National Step in the mud and splash your friend day. January 14th is National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day; January 21st is National Granola Bar Day. Are you holding true to your New Year’s resolution? Many people do not make one because they break them really soon.

Here are some flowers in season for January: Lavender, Proteas, chrysanthemums, baby’s breath and birds of paradise.

As I leave this till next week, remember this: 1) Since ancient times January 13th has been considered a favorable day for marriage. 2) Love isn’t what you say, Love is what you do. 3) Be the reason someone believes in good people. 4) Sometimes bumpy roads lead to greater destinations. 5) The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

Until next time, God Bless, take care and stay warm, as I hear it is going to get cold.

Huskies Boys Hoops an even 6-6 at midway point By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – After racing out to a promising 4-1 start to open up the season, the Harrison Central Boys Basketball team has dropped five of their last seven contests to drop to an even .500 on the year at 6-6.

The holiday break was rough on the struggling squad, as they fell to a heavily favored Dublin Scioto team in the Buckeye Eight Challenge 58-37, and then dropped another tip against Marietta (70-68) in the River City High School Classic played on the campus of Marietta College. Sandwiched in between those two setbacks was a 59-41 victory over the Brooke Bruins on the road. The victory marked the fourth straight in the series against the Bruins, dating back three seasons. Harrison and the Brooke County (WV) unit are set to round out the second leg of their home and home series tonight on the hill in Cadiz.

With the Huskies on the wrong side of things in both of their showcase events over the break, a trip to Minerva the first weekend in January was also a bust for Justin Clifford and his Huskies. A rare matchup with a school from the Eastern Buckeye Conference ended in defeat, as the Minerva Lions

avenged Harrison’s victory last year in the John W. Stephenson Center with a 70-61 overtime triumph to open play in the 2020 calendar year.

After stepping out of league play in four consecutive matchups, the Huskies returned to the divisional slate with a 7948 drubbing over Buckeye Eight South opponent Bellaire last week. Junior guard Kobe Mitchell, who has earned gamehigh honors in all but one matchup this season (Scioto), dropped 41-points in the route.

Sam Santille also had a productive night on the offensive end of the floor for the Huskies, he finished with 17points in the season sweeping victory. The Huskies took both matchups from the Big Reds this season, with an average margin of victory of 26-points per outing.

Divisional play continued last Friday night inside Tolbert Gymnasium in Martins Ferry.

The Huskies thoroughly handled the Riders in the first meeting, running the gas pedal to the floor in a 68-47 victory at home. However, the story would unfold quite differently the second time around.

Martins Ferry took advantage of Harrison’s ice-cold first quarter shooting performance, an eight minute span that saw the visiting Huskies score just five

points. Leading by 14 to open the second, the Riders were able to utilize that cushion throughout the night, as Harrison would close the gap to no closer than nine in the second half. Ferry would go on to win 60-49.

Mitchell finished with 29tallies against the Riders, 18 of which came in the fourth quarter when the Huskies were vigorously trying to overcome their uninspiring start. Santille pocketed seven on the evening, and Cale McAfee rattled in two triples in the third quarter to round out his scoring. The Riders delivered a much more balanced scoring attack, with three players in double figures.

Jaizen Miles knocked down 20, and Ruben Hilson complimented that with 18.

Dasyn Hores finished with 15.

Ferry and Harrison split the season series, and if the second game with the Purple Riders was considered big because of divisional implications, it’s safe to say this past Tuesday’s tilt with St. Clairsville was huge.

The South division of the Buckeye Eight quickly turned into a four team race at the turn of the new year. With Union Local and Martins Ferry waiting in the wings with 4-3 records, the spotlight came down to a

George, Bezak leading JVS board for 2020

Kobe Mitchell drives to the bucket at home against the St. Clairsville Red Devils this past Tuesday.

Mitchell scored 35-points, but it wasn’t enough as the Red Devils topped the Huskies 59-50.

From Previous Pg. matchup between the Red Devils and Huskies, both teams that entered the contest Tuesday night with 4-2 divisional records.

It is a rivalry that never needs any extra hype, but a shot to take control of their own destiny in the division was what was ultimately on the line.

Additionally, the Coal Bucket trophy from the gridiron version of the rivalry was nestled safely in the trophy case just outside the gym doors. Some might say that doesn’t matter, but it hadn’t been there in any of the previous meetings dating back to 2009. The Head Coaches are brothers, and one more thing; the Huskies hadn’t lost on their new floor yet.

Considering all of those storylines, Tuesday night in Cadiz had a lot to offer to a sports fan.

Unfortunately for Harrisonbackers, after the defending Buckeye Eight Champs fell

behind 12-5 in the first quarter, they stormed back to take the lead on an 8-0 scoring run to close the frame. The scoring drought would continue for the Huskies into the second, as the Red Devils opened up a 17-12 lead before Mitchell broke free for a layup at the 5:47 mark of the half. Mitchell, who is averaging an eye-popping 29.6 points per game, scored 26 of Harrison’s 28 first half points.

He hit four treys in the second quarter, and the Huskies had recovered to trail by only two at 30-28 when the intermission horn sounded. To put things into perspective, the Red Devils had five players mark the scorebook in the first half.

It was all an uphill battle for Mitchell and the Huskies after the break. The visitors opened up a 13-point advantage before the beginning of the final eight minutes. Down double-digits, the Huskies didn’t elect to just toss in the towel. A Skylar Mazeroski bucket cut the Red Devils lead to 49-43 at the 2:30

mark, but the Red Devils would respond. Again the Huskies got the lead to six when McAfee squared up and drained a triple with under a minute remaining.

But this time the Red Devils would respond from the freethrow line to put the game on ice, closing it out for the 59-50 victory.

Mitchell finished with 35points. Jonathan Vermillion added seven, and McAfee contributed six. Clifford and his Huskies will need to find a more balanced diet of scoring to stay competitive in the second half of the season. The theme coming out of the coaches office in the pre-season was the need of finding guys to step up and fill roles, and halfway through the schedule it appears that forecast is holding true.

The Huskies will go to Union Local to open the weekend, and then will play host to Brooke Saturday at the new school.

Junior Varsity starts at 6 p.m., approximate tip for Varsity is 7:15.

Husky Bowling rolls to the top of the Buckeye 8

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - On Monday night both the Harrison Central boys’ and girls’ varsity bowling teams became Buckeye 8 bowling champions with a 2019-20 sweep of the competition.

Both Logan Cologie and Aleyna Runevich would finish

first overall to help the Husky overall effort. For the Harrison Central boys’ team, Cologie rolled games of 224, 244 and a 255 in the third game for a total of 723.

Teammate Zack Keyser was third in the competition with a score of 667. Jacob Hudson helped the Huskies with a seventh place finish at 598, while Trevor Thompson was

right behind in eighth place with a 597. Hunter Stark was 10th with a final of 553 to give the Huskies a 3, 888 overall final.

In the girls’ games Runevich rolled games of 192, 212 and 244 for a 648 winning effort. Cami Basich finished second overall with a 511, while her sister Marley tossed in a 505, and Tory Thompson sealed the Huskies win with a 500.

BLHS Fundraising for Digital Sign CONNORVILLE-Buckeye Local High School is looking to modernize its school sign with a digital display and officials are seeking donations to make it happen.

Principal Lucas Parsons and junior high Principal Jason Kovalski will be soliciting the public in order to collect funds for the project, which would replace the current sign on the school grounds. A new mechanism would cost an estimated $15,000-$20,000 and leaders hope to have one in place this school year.

“We are trying to replace the sign out front with a digital sign,” Parsons said. “Any donations could be made to Buckeye Local High School and earmarked for the new sign. We want it to be done by before the end of the year.”

Solicitation letters will be sent at the end of the month but donors may make contributions now. The present signage was erected 28 years ago and officials said an update would provide a more aesthetic and efficient way to communicate with the public.

“This is for the junior and senior high,” Kovalski added. “It will be an easier way to inform the public of what’s going on at the schools. We encourage members of the public to attend our events and activities.”

Donations may be sent to Buckeye Local High School at 10692 State Route 150, Rayland, Ohio, 43943. For more information, contact the school at (740) 859-2196.

BLOOMINGDALE - Larry George and Steve Bezak III were named to again lead the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School District Board of Education as the panel reorganized for 2020.

Officials regrouped for the year during a reorganizational session on Jan. 14, followed by a brief regular meeting at the school in Bloomingdale.

George, a longtime member and past president, said he was happy to continue leading the board and serve the students and community.

“I appreciate it and enjoy doing this,” he commented, also praising Bezak for his work as vice president.

District Treasurer Karen Spoonemore also administered the oath of office to re-appointed members Bezak, who represents the Buckeye Local School District; Barry Gullen, who represents the Jefferson County Educational Service Center; and John Prokopakis, who represents Edison Local Schools. The board approved issues such as authorization to fund operations and employ personnel for the remainder of the school year, as well as to hold regular board sessions on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the JVS. Meanwhile, George was appointed to serve as the official delegate during the annual Ohio School Boards Association Capital Conference business meeting with Gullen as the alternate.

During the regular meeting, Superintendent Dr. Todd Phillipson honored members for School Board Recognition Month. A dinner was catered by culinary arts students at the Crestview Inn Restaurant and officials received certificates and gratitude from Dr. Phillipson for their work.

“It’s an underappreciated role that you play in students’ lives and I really appreciate the knowledge, experience and ideas you bring to the meetings and throughout any given month because it’s invaluable to the community, students and staff at the JVS.” Principal Dan Hartman also updated leaders on testing and graduation, saying many students have completed end-ofcourse tests and getting on track to meet graduation requirements. Assistant Principal Cecilia Abdalla added that the school was getting ready for the annual Spotlight on Skills competition on Jan. 23.

Students representing the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), Business Professionals of America (BPA), SkillsUSA and FFA will participate in the daylong event, which will be judged by community and business leaders, and awards will be given on Jan. 24. Abdalla added that winners will go on to the next level of competition in their respective categories at regional, state and potentially national contests.

Among other action, the board: --Heard from Phillipson that activities will be held to recognize Career Technical Education Month in February

Join us as we kick off our 2020 Winter Grazing Workshop Series.

Preparation for Frost Seeding Stockpiled Forages vs. Hay: A Nutrient Comparison.

Well Maintained Pasture is Beneficial to Wildlife.

Registration is requested.

Please contact Carroll SWCD at 330-627-9852 to register.

REVISIONS From PG | 1

This RUMA involved 1.5 miles of Harrison 49.

The final RUMA (4-20) is for the use of .6 miles of Harrison 19 in German Township and .5 miles of Harrison 51, or Amsterdam Road. All four RUMA’s were approved by the board.

One other item, which caught the attention of the board, was an appropriation request by the sheriff’s office for $300,000 for “radio equipment upgrades.” At first the commissioners were miffed at the amount and not being sure if the money was there to cover the appropriation.

Coffland recalled Sheriff Joe Myers had

Upcoming events: Winter Workshop – Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. - Carrollton Elementary Cafeteria.

Pasture walks are normally held on the fourth Thursday of the month April through October on various farms throughout Carroll, Columbiana, Harrison, Jefferson, Stark, and Tuscarawas Counties.

contacted the commissioners regarding this issue, which Commissioner Dale Norris agreed. Coffland, though, wasn’t sure the money had actually been appropriated at that time or were waiting for something more official.

Executive Assistance Misty Bailie then checked and confirmed that the money actually totaled $383,000 available for appropriation. The commissioners then approved the request.

Other appropriations involved $10,000 for county court for “equipment and supplies” and another $11,600 for “contracts and repairs.”

The last issue addressed on Monday was the passing of the baton from Commissioner Don Bethel to appoint Commissioner Norris as the

new chairman for 2020.

“As far as the state of the county obviously, we need to bring in additional jobs, I think that’s a priority” Bethel said as he passed the gavel across to Norris. “…I don’t know how many additional businesses we have brought in in terms of two thousand and nineteen. That needs to improve for two thousand and twenty. As far as the health and the strength of Harrison County at this point in time, financially we are strong…”

Bethel continued by stating he was proud of the people and all the staffs they have worked with the previous year and was “thankful for all the assistance that everybody gave to this tenure. So I will gladly give this up to Mr. Norris for [the] next year.”

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.

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD

Romshack takes over at 4-H Extension Education

By ESTHER MCCOY NH CONTRIBUTOR

CADIZ - Jan. 6 was the first day the office of Extension Education, 4-H Youth Development, in Harrison County, has seen a new staff member seated at the desk. It was left vacant when Tim Tanner departed for another position, as he held the same titles of Extension Education, 4H Youth Development for 10 years and departed in late August for Extension work in South Dakota. Tim was gifted with a quilt of all 18 club squares in appreciation for his dedication after leaving. He was touched by the generosity and work put into it but that is the way Harrison County treats its 4-H leaders.

Caity Romshak of Flushing started her first official day on Jan. 6 and is enthusiastic and interested in meeting all adult members of the different boards, the junior fair committee members, commissioners fair board members and all groups that comprise the 4-H program for the youth.

She isn’t new to all the events or this area either, having started out as a 4-H member of the “Goshen Go Getters” in Belmont County and taking part in fair projects that called for working with livestock,

going through Car Teens, taking part in leadership projects and all that goes with the club. Her 4-H projects consisted of sewing; gardening; cooking; and poultry, especially in wrangling baby turkeys who are nothing but a small ball of fuzz and can elude capture when they arrive at the Extension office to be be portioned out to members. She worked at the Ohio State Fair through her 4-H years and credits Jane Keyser, a former Harrison County Extension Educator, for much of her training and her club advisers as well.

At Ohio State University she was schooled in Extension and received a masters in Extension Education with Youth Development and 4-H. She applied to and was accepted to Colorado State University to do the nine studies to be approved for working at Ohio State University in mentorship, school programming and such.

Caity had great opportunities working with schools. Her mother was a school teacher who worked with school students and prison guards, she noted.

Romshak has met with Kelsey Atkinson, Abby Jackson and Delores Spragg, members of the executive board. “All have been welcoming, All have been more than instructors. They are task mastering members and help to

get scholarships. I am blessed to work with an office and members who share my values,” she said.

“I would like to get the commissioners on board with program. I appreciate the levies that we need to rely on and other contributions and want to have more interaction with them,” Caity told. Another long term idea is to have more older youth involved, of which there are some involved now.

Caity lived in Flushing, near dairy farms of her relatives, is familiar with animals, especially hogs, that she enjoys. She was pleased to see that Joyce Barr, the Harrison County Junior Fair queen and member of the Cadiz Ranchers, made it to the Top 15 at the Ohio State Fair Queens Contest. She raised a market hog, along with market beef feeder, market beef and market ducks. Joyce was in the 4-H program for 12 years.

Coming up will be the Iron Chef Competition on Feb. 29.

This will be the third annual event and many members took part and were very effective in the art of measuring ingredients and putting them in the oven or stove. There will be the judging, public tasting, an awards ceremony and Family Fun Night to follow, with games, music and a cake walk. The Extension agent would like to see older youth come out and take part as well.

“I love 4-H. I grew up in the programs. It is very positive and I am excited to be taking part.

Going to 4-H Camp Piedmont. Is where I worked to carry out the trash, wash dishes and other chores. It gives members responsibility.”

Sanders Market donates to Harrison County Home CADIZ - Last Friday the Harrison County Home management was in Sanders Market to offer a special thank you to store manager Anthony Valesko and his staff for the continuing support given to the County Home by the Market.

Each week Sanders calls the County Home and tells the Food Service Coordinator what donations are ready to be picked up. “What Sanders has been doing for us is more than just a kind donation, it is a continued thankful offering that we use and appreciate every day,” said Facility Administrator Ed

Banks. “Though I have known Anthony personally for a long time, we met professionally at the store when we set up an account for the facility. I asked him what was needed to set up an account, he said it was no problem for us to run an account there. I guess that is one of the perks of dealing locally and knowing a manager who knows us. It is hard to really express the gratitude for what Sanders does for us. I’m sure the residents are thrilled with the pastries and breads that we receive, and as managers we are thankful for the overall fiscal

benefit of the donations,” Banks added.

Banks, Medical Coordinator, Brittany Hercules, and Human Resources Coordinator, Cindy Elliott presented Valesko with a certificate of appreciation that recognized Valesko for his kind and continuous support.

Sanders Market Bakery Manager, Beth DeWalt was also present and took part in the ceremony.

The Harrison County Home and Sanders Market have worked together for a little over a year now, and both plan to extend the relationship indefinitely.
