Columbia Gas holds conference on gas line project

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Tuesday evening Columbia Gas held a videoconference and went over the details of the Cadiz gas line project coming soon. Fourteen streets involving: Grant, South, Warren, Muskingum, Court, Main, Spring, Ohio, Buffalo, Market as well as Oakwood Drive and Roan Ave. will be affected.

External Affairs Specialist Erica Chronaberry hosted the event and informed the listeners that they are investing $2 billion over the next 25 years with 60 to 80 projects conducted per year, which began in 2008.

“We have already seen a forty-percent reduction in leaks,” Chronaberry stated. She added that the project for Cadiz is about to start in “just a couple weeks” for the month of February.

Chronaberry said the project would impact around 260 customers in Cadiz with 14,650 feet of “gas and main line.”

“It truly is short-term pain for longterm gain,” she said trying to paint a rosy picture that will be disruptive for a time. “We understand that this is a disruption to our customers. We understand that construction is messy, it can get dirty and there is noise associated to construction.”

Chronaberry said the project would be done as quickly as possible and safely to where hopefully, something like this won’t have to be done for many years.

Chronaberry covered some of the benefits of the project with one being “enhanced safety features,” which include an excess flow valve, a tracer wire and marker balls (where the service and main lines connect). These are for the purpose of locating problems or areas where people may choose to dig on their property (call 811) and for Columbia to easily locate the lines.

There will also be a high pressure system for supporting more natural gas appliances. Another feature is a longer life span where they will be replacing the old cast iron lines with a “more

MWCD looking for new Tappan vendor

NEW PHILADELPHIA – The January 19 meeting of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) revealed some disappointing news for the District in that they would be searching once again for a new vendor at Tappan Marina.

The above ground videotaping is for purposes of putting a customer’s property back to the way it was before construction.

ADDING TO THE COLLECTION

Chief of Recreation Ryan McCleaster made the announcement that “Latitude 40,” which the Murray’s named for their restaurant would not be continued under them.

McCleaster did not go into detail as the reasons but said it wasn’t in their “best interests to continue.”

When contacted this week Cindy Murray said it was for personal reasons adding that they are very busy at their Wintersville (Murray’s) location and it’s not a COVID reason, as has been the case for other restaurants.

Jewett police report another busy month

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – At Wednesday evening’s council meeting Police Chief Ron Carter read a rather short report but lengthy in stops, tickets and criminal behavior. For January alone they took 67 calls with 160 traffic stops, one individual jailed, eight driving under suspension, one under the influence, 77 drug seizures with one being a “fatal overdose,” improper handling of a firearm in a vehicle and to top it off, a drug arrest earlier in the day.

“So this is one of the busiest months I’ve had in probably the last fifteen years,” Carter told council. He added

that all the traffic stops for speeding were over 10 miles per hour beyond the speed limit, alluding to the fact that he and his officers are willing to give some leeway.

Clerk Treasurer Linda Ager reminded council of a meeting held earlier in the day with E.L. Robinson, the engineering firm the village has been working with for their water plant project. She said it was nearly 70 percent completed with “a lot of hiccups” that had more to do with things out of their hands. She said James White Construction, the company doing the work, had a death

Republican Central Committee nominates Heavilin, but does it count?

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Republican Central Committee of Harrison County held their monthly meeting last Thursday in Cadiz to appoint a replacement for the outgoing Marjorie Findlay on the Board of Elections.

The voting didn’t go as smooth as planned, though, as the committee had to break two ties with Darren Heavilin eventually getting the nomination. The other two up for the spot were former Harrison County Prosecutor Owen Beetham and Dave Kinney.

time when a project will be worked on that will affect them.

If the person cannot be contacted directly door tags will be used with contact information included.

After pre-construction the mainline installation will be seen, which could include multiple locations such as, the middle of the street, the side or on the strip of grass between the street and sidewalk.

“Typically the mainline is installed on one side of the street,” she explained then went on to describe the two ways they will dig: directional bore and open cut. She said they prefer the directional boring where they will feed the gas line underground after digging it

After the first vote there was a two-way tie but it wasn’t said who the two were. After making phone calls to two members that were not present, it resulted in a three-way tie with Harrison County Recorder Josh Willis being the one reached by phone.

Chairman of the Harrison County Republican Party John Jones then announced the executive committee would be voting, which led to them voting twice. Their first vote broke the three-way tie but still left the committee tied between two people. It was announced as a tie between “one and two,” but names were not mentioned.

One was stated as Beetham and

two was Heavilin, in which the numbered order was set before they began voting (three was Kinney). No one from the executive committee who were not present, were called for their vote.

After the executive committee voted a second time, Heavilin came out on top and the central committee followed with their approval. But there may be two problems with this process with one being that Jones announced he was voting via proxy for “three people of the central committee,” as he confirmed by phone on Wednesday. Three people later contacted this newspaper to point out this may

Chronaberry said interruption to a customer’s service will be two to four hours with the meter possibly moved if it is located inside the building. She said relocating the meter to the outside was for safety reasons.

She said Columbia will restore the customer’s property to the condition it was before construction. Also, temporary patches may be in place until it is permanently fixed. This includes lawn repair, sidewalks, streets and driveways.

Chronaberry said later this week that there is a possibility that they would be working on more than one street at a time.

“The project hasn't started yet and there are paving plans that they are still considering in order to determine where they will be working,” she said via email.

Farnsworth back in court, no resolution

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Samuel Farnsworth, charged with first degree murder in the death of Sherry Lynn Shrieve, was back in court after more than a month after talks in chambers led to nowhere.

Represented by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola, Farnsworth was told the state received additional discovery information, which will be handed to Pincola for review with his client. But as of now Farnsworth is headed for trial with Judge T. Shawn Hervey hoping for a March date at the earliest.

Hervey stated he would be scheduling one more pre-trial conference in a few weeks in case there is a resolution.

MWCD From PG. 1

McCleaster said he and other executive board members have been sent into action on the matter in “identifying some other potential vendors.”

Currently, the Tappan Marina building is under major renovations with it being torn down and built completely new.

“It being a new facility, it’s going to be a fantastic opportunity for another vendor to come in and have success at that location with a brand new facility,” McCleaster explained.

He added that they were very optimistic in finding another vendor and hoped to have some positive news for their February meeting.

“I’d say if it wasn’t for bad luck we’d have no luck at all with Tappan Lake,” Board Member Robert Morehead joked with

in their company that led to one of the setbacks.

Also, Clerk of Water & Public Affairs Rhonda Harris said the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) report was $4,286.11

through Jan. 29, which she said was down about $580 compared to last year. Water collection was announced as $13,496.86 and wastewater being $12,426.13 for a total of $26,322.99.

Harris also informed council that an error in the new billing software had to be corrected.

Also, a fentanyl case popped up in the name of Michael Moreland who is accused of possessing a “fentanyl related compound,” a felony of the fourth degree.

Moreland, who lists a Uhrichsville residence as his home, was represented by Pincola. Judge Hervey informed the defendant that he was facing a possible 18 months in prison if convicted.

Moreland is currently being held in jail on a separate charge but Prosecutor Lauren Knight was not opposed to a recognizance bond once Moreland serves his current time.

Andrew Hill of Uhrichsville was arraigned on two counts of aggravated burglary. Both are felonies of the first degree with five other charges including abduction

No person shall knowingly or fraudulently act or vote or attempt to impersonate, act, or vote in place of that committeeperson, delegate, or alternate. Whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree,” according to the ORC (3599.35).

Regarding the issue of executive committees being allowed to vote, this one appears to be more vague but nothing found in the ORC states that it is improper to do so.

When first contacted the Ohio Secretary of State’s (SOS) Spokesperson, referred to the

(F3), two domestic violence charges (first degree misdemeanors), violation of a protection order (also M1) and resisting arrest (M2).

Judge Hervey stated that Pincola would sit in for Hill as a courtesy.

But Hill stated he had not been served with his indictment papers and the only thing the court could address was bail. Hill was appearing via video conference from the Jefferson County Justice Center where his bond would remain at $150,000.

When asked if he was in any counseling program he said he was when in Harrison County’s jail but not in Jefferson County. Hill did admit to a substance abuse problem and requested some kind of counseling. Knight told the

Ohio Republican Party but two messages left, one electronically and another with an individual, had not been answered as of now. A message left with Marsha Ferrell, secretary of the central committee was also not returned. Written questions presented to Harrison County Prosecutor Lauren Knight were not responded to.

After the office of the SOS was contacted a second time, a statement was given by Press Secretary Maggie Sheehan: “Again, this can only be answered by the ORP (Ohio Republican Party). It's not determined by our office.”

court he was moved to Jefferson County because “he assaulted another inmate in Harrison County, allegedly.”

Judge Hervey told Hill that if convicted on all six charges, he was looking at around 25 years in prison. His arraignment would more than likely take place on Tuesday.

Also, Jeraud Rupp was refused a recognizance bond by Knight when she stated he had a history of “not showing up” for past court appearances. Rupp is being held on a $25,000 bond and his attorney, Mark Perlaky asked that it be reduced, which wasn’t immediately refused but Judge Hervey wished to review the matter more thoroughly before making a decision. Perlaky said his client was no flight risk and had no significant criminal history.

Board Member Joanne Limbach agreeing. But McCleaster countered with the reminder of the renderings of the new facility and felt there wouldn’t be any problem filling that need.

“I think it’s a unique opportunity for us and as I said, we have some people on the horizon that we’re going to try to address with and move forward,” McCleaster added.

Also addressed was the Tappan fuel system upgrade that was completed, which was called successful. Chief of Engineering Boris Slogar said the cost was finalized at under $300,000 after being sold for $304,000.

He said the decrease of 15.4 percent was due to there being no soil contamination, as well as a wastewater pump that was “reconfigured that ended up dropping the cost.” The board approved the ratification of the change order with Limbach calling it a “nice drop” in cost.

have been in error. When contacted this week Jones replied, “people can tell you anything” and referred to the Ohio Revised Code when asked why he thought it was okay to vote proxy.

According to the ORC, though, this is not allowed as several people had pointed out this week, with two being Republicans and one who was at the meeting.

“No party committeeperson or party delegate or alternate chosen at an election, or a delegate or alternate appointed to a convention provided by law, shall give or issue a proxy or authority to another person to

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Various topics were discussed at last Thursday’s Harrison Hills Board of Education meeting. Some of the topics were returning to school and a new club sport: Trap shooting.

Superintendent Dana Snider reminded the board that January was Board Appreciation Month and noted the gift bags around the table for those members. She thanked them and pointed out how much of a help they’ve been to the school.

“Your support, your interest in our students and our staff and administration is phenomenal,” Snider told them. “Everywhere we go you’re there” and said they will call about the welfare of the students and how they really care.

“It’s important to us as administrators and to the students and staff as well.”

Snider talked about the upcoming year’s calendar of events and depending on the COVID situation, things could obviously change.

“But our goal is to see these things through if possible,” she

charging “six thousands of a dollar per gallon” as opposed to charging $6 per 1,000 gallons.

“So that’s why the water bills got changed to per gallon instead of per thousand charges,” Harris explained.

When asked, she said it would also remain this way. She said the comments from customers

said. “We’re not sure about the Ruritan banquet because that isn’t something that we hold.” She added that dates are in place, though. A question was asked about spring prom and how it’s difficult for participants to wait too close to the date before making arrangements. Board Member DJ Watson along with Snider both agreed the plans, as of now, are tentative and not for public consumption at this time.

Snider said vaccines were to be given out this past Thursday with help coming from Franciscan University in Steubenville as 16 students “will be attending with their instructors to help the health department and our nurses, to administer the vaccinations.” She said the second vaccine would take place on a Friday, approximately 28 days later.

"Vaccine is incredibly scarce, and we simply don't have enough to vaccinate everyone at the same time. Therefore, this will be a rolling process, just like it has been during other vaccination phases, with a goal of administering all first doses by March 1st," said Governor DeWine in a press release this week. "This rollout schedule is a heavy logistical lift

that aims to ensure the maximum number of people can be vaccinated in the shortest amount of time."

Week two for vaccinations will begin Feb. 8; week three the following week and so on.

Assistant Superintendent Duran Morgan told the board that relics pulled from the three former schools that help make up Harrison Hills are in place on school grounds. Morgan said the corner stone from Scio and bricks from Hopedale were used to form an “H” as well as the corner stone from Cadiz is also included.

Watson commented on some confusion about students returning to school after a communications committee meeting was held. He said there were two votes not in favor of the date for returning but “everyone was on the same side, had the same idea that we wanted to be back in school…” He wanted to clear that up and let the board know that no one was against opening the school back up to regular attendance and classes at some point.

Also, Watson stated that he was contacted last month regarding a new sport for the school that the

Jewett’s Sportsman Club was interested in partnering with regarding trap team shooting, which would involve clay target shooting among others. He said some former law enforcement personnel expressed an interest in being coaches for the student team.

“These gentleman are interested in being involved…” Watson explained. The ambition was to create a sense of “belonging to the school” for the students who would participate and compared it to the bowling program, which has now thrived.

He talked some about the league they would be in with Carrollton being one of the schools involved.

He also said it would be at no cost to the school and raised the idea just to see how the others felt.

Several others felt positive about the idea with no one objecting except the liability angle, which a few expressed concern and what kind of club it would be.

Watson said the long term goal would be for the schools competing from the surrounding counties to actually compete against each other instead of practicing and only participating in a few competitions.

so far is that they like the new way.

“They like being charged per gallon so that they know exactly what they used and how much they pay,” Harris said.

Also, Council Member Rick Meneely pushed the veterans pictures project stating he thought it was up to the village

to hang the photos but Mayor Dwight Busby stated it wasn’t the village’s responsibility.

“Well, we gotta figure out what we’re going to do then,” He said with Busby stated some people had stepped forward and volunteered to put the pictures up. Meneely said Barbara Horn, an organizer, had been receiving

calls about putting the veterans pictures up but she is not responsible for that either.

“She’s not responsible for hanging the veterans pictures,” Meneely explained. He added that “weather permitting” the pictures will be going up after they find out who exactly will be doing it.

COVID cases drop to under 20 for the week

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Harrison County Health Administrator, Garen Rhome, reported just 17 COVID cases for the past week at Wednesday’s commissioners meeting. This continues a month-long drop in COVID cases after the pandemic peaked near the end of December and into January where COVID hit more than 100 cases for three consecutive weeks.

Rhome said the county did remain in the Alert: Red status when he later explained that Harrison County’s region (8)

was still above the 100 cases per 100,000. He said for the past several weeks, even though the count has been falling, the overall numbers are at 345 cases per 100,000, which he said is way beyond what it needs to be in order to drop to Orange or even Yellow status.

For the numbers he provided, there were also 46 additional presumed recovered cases from last week where that number hit 874 for the past week. Active cases dropped by 30, a significant number where it sat at 70 last week and is now down to 40 active cases. One additional death was reported and that number now stands at

17 for Harrison County.

“So you can say yeah, we’re doing relatively well certainly [as] that trend continues,” Rhome told the board. He said the trend is also continuing in hospitalizations and ICU patients as well. He said this was trending all across Ohio.

Vaccination efforts are in full swing with this past Friday treating the age group of 70 to 74, one week after vaccinating the 75 to 79 age group. He said over 200 per week are being vaccinated and they anticipated that to continue.

Rhome said 200 doses of the vaccination are from Pfizer with “some Moderna” which add 20

to 30 additional doses. When asked if vaccinating the public could take the entire year Rhome answered that not only more products will become available but also more supply in the current vaccinations will also come.

“And we’re ready to continue to work with current partners and more partners when it becomes available,” Rhome explained. He said for people calling to be placed on the list for vaccination, that will be done but he also encouraged people if they have a chance to get vaccinated earlier, to not miss out on that chance just because you are on the county

list. He said they have been calling people who have already begun their first of two doses, so it isn’t something that is rare for people to become vaccinated through their own efforts.

“So that I’d remind people, particularly in the younger age group, don’t wait if you see a chance, take it,” Rhome said.

He added that there were many questions on the people who are beyond the Phase1B stage, which he said is still being worked on with no clear answer as of yet.

Commissioner Don Bethel then asked if Harrison County was being treated fairly in regards to the supply of COVID

products. Rhome answered positively that the 200 doses they receive each week is “very fair” when comparing itself to the surrounding counties, or even the rest of Ohio.

“We’re dealing with the same limited supply that everybody else is, that Ohio is, that the country is,” Rhome said. He added that some other areas and other states are still struggling with getting past Phase 1 and in that sense, “Harrison County is quite ahead of the game in that sense.”

“I never once thought we were getting shorted or anything like that,” Rhome told the board.

Hopedale, others in SE Ohio receive EPA funds COLUMBUS - Communities in Southeast Ohio are receiving more than $15.1 million in low-interest and principal forgiveness funding from Ohio EPA to improve wastewater and drinking water infrastructure and make other water quality improvements. The loans were approved between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2020. The lower interest rates and principal forgiveness will save these communities more than $10 million.

Statewide, Ohio EPA awarded approximately $303.8 million in loans during the fourth quarter of 2020, including $19.2 million in principal forgiveness. Combined, Ohio communities will save more than $61.2 million when compared to market-rate loans.

The projects are improving Ohio's surface water quality and the reliability and quality of

Ohio drinking water systems.

Ohio EPA provided approximately $887 million for public works projects in 2020, saving communities more than $150 million in interest when compared to market-rate loans.

This includes $10.8 million in principal forgiveness loans to 75 local health districts to help lower income homeowners repair or replace failing home sewage systems.

For the fourth quarter of 2020, the following Southeast Ohio projects are receiving funding: - Pomeroy is receiving $3.7 million for two projects, to include installing a backup generator and constructing a gravity sewer to tie unsewered areas into the existing sewer.

The entire loan will be issued with principal forgiveness, meaning it does not have to be repaid.

- Athens is receiving $3 million to design and construct a more efficient and costeffective process for the conveyance, treatment, and handling of biosolids.

- Hocking County is receiving $5.2 million to install a sanitary sewer collection line, manholes, pump stations, and connection to Logan sewers to serve 182 users with failing or deficient home sewage treatment systems in Enterprise. The loan includes $4 million in principal forgiveness, meaning this amount does not have to be repaid.

- Washington County is receiving $2.6 million to design Devola sanitary sewer improvements.

- New Boston is receiving $258,000 to line manholes and sewers as part of the combined sewer overflow improvement project. The entire loan will be

issued with principal forgiveness, meaning it does not have to be repaid.

- Hopedale is receiving $124,000 to extend the waterline along the south side of Rabbit Road between Mill Street and West Main Street.

- Piketon is receiving $47,963 to assess its water treatment and distribution system to assist in modernizing the facility.

Created in 1989, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) helps communities improve their wastewater treatment systems. The Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA), started in 1998, provides loans for improvements to community drinking water systems and nonprofit, noncommunity public water systems. Both programs offer below-market interest rate loans, which can save communities a substantial

amount of money compared to a market-rate loan.

Ohio EPA's state revolving fund (SRF) loans are provided to communities to build and upgrade wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, upgrade home sewage treatment systems, better manage storm water, address combined sewer overflows, and implement other water quality-related projects.

Financial assistance helps support planning, design, and construction activities and enhances the technical, managerial, and financial capacity of these systems.

WPCLF loans also make possible the restoration and protection of some of Ohio's highest quality water bodies through the fund's Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program.

Ohio's SRF loan programs are partially supported by annual

federal capitalization grants and have grown substantially over time because of the revolving nature of the loan issuance and payments back into the fund. The SRF programs are managed by Ohio EPA's Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance, with assistance from the Ohio Water Development Authority. Ohio EPA is responsible for program development and implementation, individual project coordination, and environmental and other technical reviews/approvals of projects seeking funds.

The Ohio Water Development Authority provides financial management of the SRF funds.

More information about the SRF loan program is available at: epa.ohio.gov/defa/Environment alandFinancialAssistance.aspx.

Clark Gable Foundation celebrates 120th birthday

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Monday, amidst one of the bigger snowfalls of this winter, Clark Gable was honored for his life and times with two cakes with happy 120th styled in color. Cake was made by Sander’s Market and donated by Gables and Meadows of Cadiz.

Less people than normal have turned out because of the weather but it didn’t stop the show and a “movie” tour.

Founding President Mike Cope came in from Grove City with his daughter Angie, and a

tour was conducted online as they walked through the entire house. Sal St. George of New York, New York broadcast the live feed across the internet via his St. George company: St. George Living History Productions, which travels the country conducting virtual tours of the homes of celebrities and other things.

According to St. George over 500 people registered to watch the podcast, where Cope said it was more than they ever expected. More tapped in to social media as well, according to St. George.

“We didn’t expect that much,” Cope said Monday. He then

gave a little history of the museum and house that was rebuilt to an exact replica of Gable’s home as a child. This was back in 1998 where a local philanthropist, Isabelle Clifford donated $300,000 to rebuild the home and some of that money still fuels the museum’s existence.

“She’s the one that got us on our feet,” Director Nan Mattern said.

For more information about their virtual tours go to http: www.salstgeorge.com. Cope said the tour of the Clark Gable Museum would eventually be put up on their website for anyone to enjoy.

Barry Gerald Hoyte Beloved husband and father, Barry Gerald Hoyte, passed away of COVID-related complications on Thursday, Dec. 3, 2020, at Carondelet St. Joseph Hospital, Tucson, Arizona.

Barry was born March 21, 1941, in Binghamton, New York, and grew up in Oneonta, New York. He graduated from Schenevus High school in 1959 and joined the US Navy. He served for 27 years and retired as an E8 Senior Chief. He also worked at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for 20 years. Barry and Sandy were married on Feb. 28, 1964, eventually becoming the

Hunters Association. John had a passion for traveling. He has traveled to nearly all 52 United States. He was a lifelong farmer and loved farming. He never met a dog he didn't like. He loved dogs and had several dogs over his lifetime, most recently "Ralph".

Some would call John a "stern man". He was that and he was so much more. His character and personality surrounded his life's work as a farmer, truck driver and everything he did in life. John believed dignity to be man's greatest possession and that hard work and honest sweat should be valued. He believed farming, despite its hardships, is an honorable occupation which teaches a person so much, in a variety of ways. And for all his coarseness, he had a tender and caring heart. John found much joy from the things that surrounded him. He found comfort from his dogs who provided him companionship. He loved watching the crops and flowers grow. He always fed the wild birds, especially in winter. With his watchful eye he kept track of many things, making sure all the animals, crops and neighbors were doing ok. As John grew old and summed up his days, he stood tall and felt proud in the life he'd lived, because on his farm, he had found all his blessings. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him.

There will be no calling or services. John will be laid to rest at the Mayes School Cemetery.

Family and friends may view and sign the condolence book at the Uhrich-Hostettler English Funeral Home, Inc. website.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PRAYING FOR A REVIVAL To the Editor, Censorship is illegal so that people are allowed to complain about the government. However, we used to censor things in cards, public written material, and on radio. These were swearing, talk of people’s private parts, and pornography. Those were much nicer times. Now, anything is allowed and it is disgusting.

God has been banned in schools and public places and hHe is not evident in some churches. So many people cohabitate that is not even

considered sin anymore.

Nevertheless, it is still sin and people need to realize this. I am far from perfect, but am trying to live to please God. Many years ago, I tried to buy a card in our local store for a couple getting married. All I could find were cards that stated it was time to get married since the baby is on the way. This was not what I wanted. I finally found a decent card in another store. Now, I have a Hallmark card program and make all but my Christmas cards on it. It is disgusting to me to have to wade through dozens of cards to find something acceptable. Cards refer to people’s private parts, beer, insults about one’s age, passing gas, and it goes on and on. This tells me something about people’s minds

and the state the world is experiencing. Some people just plain want to be nasty and some think these things are cute. These would never have been allowed when we had censorship against such stuff. They sell or it wouldn’t be so widespread. It was a kinder world.

There have always been some nasty people but now there is a greater percentage of nasty people.

In an anything goes world, we have violence of all kinds. I pray for a great revival in our country and the world. We need God back in our lives in the worst way.

Sincerely, Mary Ruth Kidd Scio, Ohio

Good News

By Pastor Ken Staley:

Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches

God Delights in You (Yes, you!)

I was watching an old western some time ago and one of the characters parting shots to everyone he met was, “May the Good Lord take a likin’ to ya”.

Not only has the Good Lord taken a liking to us, scripture says He delights in us. As hard as that is to believe for some of us, it’s true. Psalm 18 says of God that, “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters and rescued me from my powerful enemies who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.”

Did you catch all of the action words in that verse that God does on our behalf? God reached down, took hold of, drew me out, rescued, supported and delighted.

Hey now, does that sound like someone who is irritated every time you call?

Didn’t you desire to be with your kids, talking about their day, just hanging out with them?

Psalm 37:23 says, “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Is God your heavenly Father? If so, He knows you by name; He knows the number of hairs on your head according to Jesus, you have His favor, His friendship and, most importantly, His forgiveness.

No other religion has that.

Notice that this is not a distant corporate or collective knowledge about all of His children but a very personal knowledge about you as an individual. He loves and treasures you individually.

The Old Testament prophet Zephaniah tells us that God

“rejoices over us with singing.”

Just like we sing over our kids and grandkids, God sings over us.

So why is it so important to believe that God delights in you?

Because if everyone in the body of Christ ignores the scriptures that proclaim God delights in us, we will take a lemon juice version of the gospel to the world. Who would even want to become a Christian if every church is full of people whose God just puts up with them?

When a person believes that Jesus is who He said He was, God come to earth, and that when we believe on His name we have eternal life, and that He delights in His children, only then can we go into a hurting world and take the overwhelming message of God’s love.

And it’s a delightful message!

Around the County From the Harrison County Visitor's Center

Happy February! By now I am sure you all know that the Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and winter will continue. It has been cold and snowy, but I do have to say I think the snow has been beautiful. I have seen children out playing, sledding, and building snowmen just some of the joys of winter.

Looking for something to do? How about going bowling, spending an evening at the wineries, stay at the Microtel, and order pizza. Why drive out of town when you can stay close, support the locals, and have fun.

We are planning on continuing with the Junk in the Trunk sales as we move to warmer weather. Remember one man’s junk is another

man’s treasurer.

CADIZ - Last Thursday and Friday in Cadiz, the Lady Huskies (now 13 and 4) added two more wins to their current win streak, with victories over Edison and Beaver Local. The wins were the latest of an eight-game conquest journey by the Lady Dawgs.

The current high-flying efforts of the Huskies is the result of unselfish teamwork, combined with a non-gloating attitude that takes each game individually as they come along. A good outcome from the team’s preparation and demeanor going into the games, is that it has spilled over into the junior varsity ranks.

Game performances by the squads reveals the like attributes.

On Thursday, the junior varsity opened the two-game winning presentations with a commanding 37 - 17 defeat over visiting Edison Local. Danica Rensi and Angi Ferri formed an unstoppable force that produced a combined total of 29 of the team’s total. Rensi would emerge as the game scoring leader with 16 of the totals. Cali Lewis contributed four points to the win, Emma Fischer had three and Kaylyn Ledger two.

Moving into the main event, the varsity followed suit by winning their contest by a score of 50 to 39. Only five-points separated the teams after eight-minutes, with Harrison up 10 - 5. The

Last Thursday and Friday in Cadiz, the Lady Huskies added two more wins to their current win streak. The victories came from contests with Edison and Beaver Local. The wins now have the Huskies at a record of 14 and 3. Pictured during the Beaver Local game is Britton Positano as she lets fly on one of her game’s four bonus field goals. Positano finished with 14 points on the night.

margin at the half was not much greater, with the Huskies up by six, and a score of 21 - 14. Like a math lesson, the lead of five at the end of the first period, became a lead of six at the half and a lead of seven at the end of the third.

A continuous rotation of the top six closed the contest at the 50 39 final. McKayla Dunkle led the Huskies with 14 points, with the bulk of the scoring coming from under the hoop and sometimes

on the run. Maddy Butler was good for 10 points, including a three-ball. Both Audrey Corder and MacKenzie Harbold scored eight points each, with Harbold recording a bonus field goal.

Britton Positano worked the perimeter for three bonus goals and Danyel Beading added a point at the foul line.

On Friday, the second set of wins by the Huskies was just as sweet. The reserves won by a

score of 17 - 22, and the varsity won by a score of 42 - 19. On this night Dunkle and Positano would lead the Husky scoring over the Lady Beavers with a combined 32 points. Dunkle finished with a game high 18 points, and Positano graced the net with four downtown field goals and a common goal for 14 points. Butler and Corder each had four points and Harbold had two.

Junior high cheerleaders earn Best in State Grand Champions

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer CADIZ - No matter the content of the arena, Harrison Central has always managed to cast a light of success in various prep school activities and competitions.

Through both academics and sports, the Huskies have always proven that some of the best minds and athletes in the state reside at 100 Huskies Way. While owning many outside record setting achievements, the Huskies recently added yet another new benchmark of excellence. That new benchmark was earned by the Harrison Central junior high cheerleading squads. Not only did the squads earn a Division Title at the Best in State Competition but garnished the much coveted Best in State Grand Championship.

The accomplishment was earned from a field of 25 schools and was performed virtual due to COVID19 protocol. Videos containing two routines were submitted by Junior High Cheering Coach Bailie Ray to be judged. The two routines contained both a NonTumbling Division and a Large Tumbling Division.

The non-tumble routine placed first in their division and the large tumbling routine placed fifth. In scoring the overall competition, the scores from the twenty-five schools in each division was listed in order. The Husky non-tumble routine received the highest score of all the routines, thus making them the grand champions.

“I am beyond proud of this group of young ladies,” said coach Ray. “Last year was rocky for us.

We entered a small team made up

of all seventh graders who had never competed in cheering before. Last year we actually placed last in this same competition and now we are the champions. My girls from last year turned into leaders this year and the new seventh graders stepped up and they all made this trophy happen.

In addition to winning this competition, we have been able to place in the top three of every single competition we attended

this year. I just want to thank my girls for their hard work, their parents for dragging them to practice every day, and my fellow coaches for keeping me sane. It has been an amazing year,” Ray added.

The cheerleaders involved in the 2020-21 Best in State Competition include (nontumbling champion group): Alexa DeWees, Kamari West, Allison Henry, Kaila Walker, Mackense Garbrant, Braylee Dunfee, Riley

NHS sending Valentines to care facilities CONNORVILLE-The Buckeye Local High School National Honor Society is sending a little love to local care facilities, but with a modern twist.

The organization’s 14 members have undertaken their latest community service project and are collecting Valentine cards for Valley Hospice and Sienna Hills Nursing Home, but the messages will be provided via email to ensure safety under COVID-19 protocols. Advisor Alonna Ackerman said the NHS has done a Christmas card project with the facility in the past, but this marked a first for Valentine’s Day efforts.

“Last year, we sent Christmas cards to Sienna Hills, in addition to local veterans and the cancer center at Wheeling Hospital,” she said. “For Valley Hospice, we had collected personal care items to be given to the residents for Valentine’s Day last year. This year, we plan to collect Valentine cards from the NHS and any high school

student who wishes to participate. These valentines will be both collected and sent via email to Valley Hospice and Sienna Hills to be distributed to the residents. We did this at Christmas, as well, and were able to send letters to the residents for the holidays.”

She said the valentine and Christmas letter projects were born from the hearts of very caring students who simply wanted to lift people’s spirits.

“Each year, we select a service theme and this year’s NHS chose ‘Coming Together.’ It was their goal to reach out to people who have been isolated due to the pandemic and help raise their spirits and feel connected to the community,” Ackerman added. “We also wanted to make sure that we could reach out in a way that would be safe for everyone involved, so after speaking with the facilities, we were able to figure out how to do this electronically.”

NHS members will collect and proofread submitted valentines

plus create their own, while hopes are to generate enough for each of the 18 residents at Valley Hospice and 40 people at Sienna Hills to brighten their day. The cards will be sent in time for distribution on Valentine’s Day. “Our NHS members seem really excited about the project and I know they love the idea of putting a smile on someone’s face,” Ackerman commented.

“These students have done a great job at thinking of opportunities for service despite the challenges that the pandemic has presented. I could not be more proud to work with such a wonderful group of kids.

It truly makes me love my job.”

The NHS has also assisted with sorting school supplies that the Buckeye Local School District distributed to students this year and hopes to complete one more service project in the spring. Ackerman said she would like to include current members and new inductees in the latter endeavor.

Things to keep in mind to stay safe exploring ice and snow COLUMBUS, Ohio – The beauty of a winter wonderland can quickly turn dangerous if outdoor enthusiasts don’t take proper precautions.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is encouraging Ohio residents and out-of-state visitors to be careful while participating in winter recreational activities such as hiking or ice fishing.

"Ohio's natural areas are beautiful in every season -- even winter," said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. "The best way to enjoy the serene landscapes and chilly weather is the safe way: Check the forecast before heading out, dress warmly, and follow all posted safety guidelines."

The recent weather has frozen bodies of water and covered much of the state with several inches of snow.

With temperatures expected to drop even more, it is important to remember that ice is

never safe and should always be considered dangerous.

ODNR has some tips to stay safe while enjoying the outdoors in the winter months: Staying Warm While Enjoying the Winter Weather Dress warmly. Start with layers of insulating fabrics and add a final layer of protective fabrics.

Keep your head, neck, and hands covered by wearing hats, scarves, and gloves.

Come prepared, pay attention to how you feel, and know when to seek shelter.

Winter Hiking Safety Tips Prepare for your hike by finding out the mileage and level of difficulty. Visiting a specific state park? Hikers should visit parks.ohiodnr.gov and select the appropriate state park to see a map of the hiking trails. Contact the local park office for trail conditions.

Check the forecast and have a plan if severe weather strikes. If inclement weather is expected, reschedule your trip for another time.

Hikers should let others know where they will be hiking and what time they will return.

Stay on the designated trail and follow the trail signs.

Bring snacks and water. Cold, dry air can dehydrate hikers quickly.

During the winter, frequently used trails can become packed down and icy, even if other parts of the trail are clear. Be aware of potential slick spots and always use caution while hiking.

Sturdy waterproof boots and warm socks are recommended while hiking. Hand warmers can help on longer hikes.

Ice Fishing Safety Tips Ice anglers should prepare and share a “float plan” to let others

know when they will be out on the ice and where they will be fishing, where they will park their vehicles, and when they will return.

Always fish with a partner or in an area where several other anglers are present.

Contact a local ice guide or bait shop to ask about ice conditions.

Put a cellphone in a plastic bag to protect it from getting wet.

Adequately check the ice thickness before traveling onto the ice.

Dress properly for conditions, which should include wearing an approved life vest.

Avoid areas with feeder streams, springs, bridge pilings, docks, and dam structures since ice is usually very thin there.

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

WELDING Welding is used in many manufacturing processes, to fabricate parts and repair equipment.

It is used in various construction trades, on structural steel highrises and highway bridges, in power plants and on cross-country pipelines. A skilled welder can find employment anywhere in the world. As long as there are products made of metal, welding will continue to play a major role in US manufacturing.

Students will gain experience with a variety of welding processes on multiple types of materials. Primary instruction includes welding safety, SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW, plasma and oxyfuel cutting, blueprint reading and OSHA safety. Students are exposed to welding codes and standards, welding inspection and the certification process.
