Harrison Hills seeks ball field lease

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The lease for Mazeroski Field in Cadiz that’s been held by the boosters for many years is being sought by the Harrison Hills City School District, it was announced at last Thursday’s Cadiz council meeting.

Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros laid out the facts regarding the “school board to take over the lease.” He told council that a Memorandum of Understanding would need to be written where both parties would have to sign it.

“I’ve received a new lease from the

school district, I have to review it,” Mastros explained. “You all will see it first and then you all will vote on it.”

Council Member John Vermillion noted that Harrison Hills was “eightypercent” finished towards a baseball field of their own, on school property this fall. This, he said, was in addition to the softball field that’s also being finished up.

“I just don’t want to see us give that lease up,” Vermillion began. “I’d like to see something in there that happens, we can take that field back. Because I don’t want to just see it turn into a practice facility…” Vermillion said it was “in the works” for a new baseball

facility to be built on the new school grounds.

Vermillion stated that the softball field had been completed and 80 percent of the baseball field planning had also been completed and nearly ready to be built this fall.

“It’s just kind of weird why this all of a sudden is coming up that the school district is wanting to take this lease over…” Vermillion stated. Mastros said they finally located the actual lease and acknowledged that the boosters had been taking care of the field approximately 20 years. He did agree that this was happening “all of a sudden” after the boosters care for so

many years.

When contacted this week Harrison Hills Board of Education Superintendent Dana Snider said the only thing done towards a baseball field is plans were drawn up on paper and nothing else. Snider said the boosters approached the school about taking over the lease and that is why they became involved.

She said Mrs. Liggett was approached about constructing a baseball field regarding the surrounding property she owns near the new school but said Liggett has other plans for her property.

She added that Mastros and the school’s attorney, Dan Spahn were

working together to come up with an agreement regarding the lease.

“There’s nothing going on with baseball,” Snider said. As far as the softball field is concerned, she said it would hopefully be completed in May but there is the possibility it would not be used this year.

Vermillion suggested a clause in the lease that if a new baseball facility was to actually come to fruition then the village could take Mazeroski Field back if they felt it necessary.

In other issues discussed, Vermillion told council that the new break room

CBA focuses attention on uptown square

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The uptown square that has been partly guarded by the small wooden fence was one of the topics of discussion at the Cadiz Business Association (CBA) meeting held at the Ranch To Table restaurant Wednesday afternoon.

Nancy Davis suggested a gazebo be built and brought along a brochure with various designs and

prices that were surprisingly not too expensive when board members took a look. Davis emphasized that they would need to find out where exactly the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) stands with the old bank building, which is the reason for the fence.

The fence was put there to keep the public at a distance because of the shape the outer wall is in. CIC

Board of Education says goodbye to Marjorie Findling A fixture for more than 30 years serving the Harrison County Board of Elections (BOE), Marjorie Findling attended her final meeting Monday afternoon at the BOE’s 1 p.m. meeting. Democratic Chair and board member Holly Brindley noted her service to the county.

“And we want to thank her for all the years of dedication that she has given to us,” Brindley said. Findling said she came to the BOE in 1985 left and returned for good in 1996. She finally filled a board position in 2002.

“She knows more than we’ll ever, ever begin to know,” Brindley said.

“She just retains everything so we thank you for your service dear.”

Findley responded by stating it was a privilege to serve the people of the county.

(Pictured on the left is Ohio Secretary of State liaison Alex Pavlov with Findling).

This is one rendering of many ideas for a gazebo to be built at the uptown square. Nancy Davis of the Cadiz Business Association brought in some pictures of various designs at Wednesday’s meeting, though, this one is more elaborate. Prices ranged from $11,000 to $18,000 and various ideas for fundraising were also discussed.

Cadiz resident killed in Monday crash on US 22

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HARRISON COUNTY – A crash that killed a 73 year-old Cadiz woman on Monday involved three vehicles that tied up traffic and closed U.S. 22 down for approximately six hours. Lt. Bodo of the Ohio Highway State Patrol (OHSP) stated that Shirley Ledfors never had a chance and was likely killed instantly when Jared Stupzman, 36, of Baltic was apparently following too close and slammed into Ledfors 2009 Hyundai Sonata from behind.

Ledfors had stopped in the westbound lane attempting to make a turn onto Harrison 13 when Stupzman’s 2011 freight liner van sent Ledfors vehicle into the eastbound lane and into

a large 14-wheel trailer. The large truck was driven by Douglas Robey, 26, of Martins Ferry but neither he nor Stupzman were seriously injured as both were treated at the scene and released.

The trailer was found resting on its side against an embankment on the side of the road. ODOT, Hopedale Fire and EMS as well as the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office all responded to aid the OHSP. Bodo stated they were looking at various options regarding Stupzman’s actions that caused the accident with no charges being filed at this time. He said once the investigation is completed then the report would be sent to the prosecutor’s office for review.

knew.

Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski’s report included an update on a virtual meeting with the EPA on discussing “how to apply for principal forgiveness” for the village’s water and sewer projects. He reminded council that they are the ones who awarded the village more than $3.2 million

to finance their south and center line projects.

“Since we can only receive one principal forgiveness award per year, we will be applying for the Phase II North Trunk Collection Line projects in 2022,” Andrzejewski explained. He also shared some information on a company called Public Surplus, which conducts online listings

and auctions for public surplus items. He said there was no cost to the village for this and the “buyer pays the fees and arranges for shipping.”

“We will have two old surplus plow blades from the Street department that we will put on here and see if there is any interest,” Andrzejewski wrote in his report.

CIC President Mike Sliva said this week that they are not worried about the outer wall falling in any immediate fashion but instead are being “prudent and safe” about it. He said they were open to discussion about things and said there would probably be a decision coming this spring or summer regarding the building.

Davis said the money is there for the CBA to pay half of the cost of a gazebo with $9,000 already in their checking account and an additional $2,000 from another account.

Some of the prices listed for various gazebos ranged from $11,500 to $18,500 with a few $15,000 ones mixed in. Some are for 12 feet, 14 and 16 feet

gazebos.

Fundraising was also discussed with the suggestion by Davis that a wooden “thermometer” possibly being built by students to show progress on the fundraising, as it would be displayed out in public. Also, a street festival was thrown out there as one suggestion for raising the money.

falling around the state as well.

“We’re still seeing too many cases over a two-week period, essentially keeping us high incidence,” he told the board.

Rhome stated that the county has walked “close to the line” on some of those indicators and referred to last week where he repeated they’d tripped two but were close to tripping a third indicator.

Concerning vaccines, Rhome said they would be supplying an additional 200 doses this week remaining with the 70-plus age group, along with a second dose for people due for that. He added that regardless of whether those vaccines will be administered as they’ve accepted

them and now will have to be put into use.

“When this is all over I’ve got to write a letter to half the people in this county to say thank you, in some way, shape or form,” Rhome stated. “Because it really truly has been a community effort, community spirit.”

When talking about the 65 to 70 year-olds who are eligible this week, “we can’t move into that age group.” He said they are still collecting information from people 70 and above on their online surveys. Rhome said they are still reviewing the older groups and the practice will remain so because of that group’s vulnerability to the virus.

Rhome did encourage anyone

in the 65 to 70 group that if they have a chance to get vaccinated by other means to please do so and take advantage of it. He also said anyone that does not have access to online services to call the health department (740942-2616). Rhome told the board that by the end of this week that they will have vaccinated around 10 percent of the county’s residents.

Regarding death ratios, two areas that are looked at here, Pennsylvania (2.5 percent) and Ohio (1.2 percent), remained the same while the U.S. (1.7), the world (2.2) and West Virginia (1.7), interestingly, all rose from numbers provided two weeks ago.

Board of Education says ‘No Parking’ The Harrison Hills Board of Education announced at last month’s meeting that they would be placing No Parking signs at their newly constructed and paved parking lot at the old school along E. Market Street. A board member noticed a commercial truck had recently parked there and another one just this past week and they don’t want to see that becoming a habit. Mike Saffell, director of operations, said this week that the signs will be going up “in a few weeks.”

Board of Elections addresses election criticism

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – On Monday, the Harrison County Board of Elections (BOE) addressed numerous issues but one of the topics included a letter written by a couple who had voted but apparently had trouble with the wording when tracking their vote online. Board Member Holly Brindley announced the letter they received on the previous Friday, which was signed by “Rod and Anna Grafton” and included harsh statements of election fraud.

“Don’t see when our ballots were actually counted, only says ‘submitted’” while it also noted the recent state oversight issue the BOE is answering to. The letter, which was read aloud by Brindley, continued by stating that, “after our stolen election we don’t trust anyone with our vote.” But the letter did not include a scenario of exactly how the election was stolen.

Brindley explained that the couple came to the BOE site for the early voting process where their ballots were placed in the “ICP machine, which the scan cards...would have kept track of and on election night their votes on that scan disk, were taken over to Dominion in the Dominion room and counted.”

Findling backed her up by stating that she herself along with Brindley took the ballots out of the “can.” And each party by law all across the country, in all election centers, must be represented by each party with Findling being Republican and Brindley the Democrat in Harrison County.

“And the numbers came out exactly right,” Board Member Cheryl Besozzi said with Findling agreeing (Besozzi was incorrectly included with Bette Hill and Harry Edgar in the Jan. 30 edition/”Board of Elections target of state oversight” concerning reasons for five of six former employees and board

members leaving). “So there’s nothing, I mean, other than them putting it in the machine that’s exactly what would happen on election day at a precinct. It’s taken over there and it’s counted just the same way the precincts are counted and the absentee ballots are counted,” Brindley explained.

BOE employee Dion Troiano later explained that the couple had gone online to track when their ballot had been counted but it only said “submitted.” But Troiano said they don’t know where the couple had gone online to track their vote. He said a disclaimer on their website reads: “All ballots counted by seven thirty on election night.”

Brindley stated they would need to respond to the letter and they discussed how to respond acknowledging the computer did say submitted and not counted at the time.

Also, the recent controversy over the Secretary of State

placing the BOE on oversight, was not discussed at length. A liaison for the Ohio Secretary of State, Alex Pavlov, was present and has been working with the BOE for some time now. When the matter of discussion was raised Board Member John Jones stated that he didn’t see how they could without Director Ruby Foutz not being present (due to being on family medical leave).

“I think that’s a fine conversation to have on our weekly call tomorrow,” Pavlov said referring to their weekly call-ins with the SOS. At the completion of the meeting Jones was asked if the prosecutor’s office had contacted him to discuss the issue of his voting via proxy at the Republican Central Committee meeting two weeks ago but said he would not comment anymore. He did say the issue should have been “dead in the water a long time ago.”

“I can tell you a whole lot that would blow your reports clear

out of the paper,” he said when told there were multiple sources supplying information on the Ohio Revised Code (3599.35) stating it is illegal to vote that way. Jones did state that he did “nothing wrong.”

In other matters, Brindley raised the issue of Dominion Voting Systems (DVS) but Jones suggested tabling the subject because they had already extended their contract with DVS for two years.

“We can table that til we get a little bit more information on what we’re wanting to know about their machines,” Jones explained. He added that someone from the company would be getting back to them for answers on other matters and all agreed there was no need to take further action at this time.

Also, the board addressed their COVID contingency plan, which Brindley said was requested by the state. She said their plan does go “further in

explaining procedure.” Findling was pleased with their version of the plan and Brindley thanked Troiano’s writing up of the plan.

Some of the points involved were: Continue operations necessary to enable a free and fair election…

- Ensure as little disruption to the continuity of services to the public…and guarantee election is carried out in a fair and timely manner.

-Maintain bipartisanship in office and familiarity with campaign finance system (electronic and analog).

The subject of filling the deputy director position was addressed with Brindley stating that a favored candidate turned down the position citing a “pay decrease” the female would have to accept. She said they have now re-submitted their ad to newspapers, the BOE website and the SOS.

Hopedale swears in new council member

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HOPEDALE – Wednesday evening Hopedale found a new council member willing to step up and fill the recently vacated seat by the late Larry Ward. John Cortez, father of current Council Member Jonathan Cortez was sworn in to become the sixth council member for Hopedale.

Mayor Mike Pelegreen read Cortez’s letter expressing his desire to sit on council before his swearing in.

Also, at the beginning of the meeting, council passed one resolution and one ordinance.

The ordinance, as stated by Pelegreen, was the first to be read and passed, which deals with “approving and enacting an American legal publishing Ohio Basic Code.” This is the code of ordinances for the current year and it was read and passed as an emergency.

The second, a resolution for a tax levy in the amount of 2.5 mils. Pelegreen said it was for the purposes of a street maintenance renewal. Both were read and passed as emergencies.

Regarding CARES Act related items, Pelegreen told council that their new 40 water meters are now in. He said the wires and the outside readers are being stored at the sewer plant for now. New furniture they had to order is to be shipped in early March and their new truck could be up to eight weeks before seeing that.

Hopedale Village Solicitor Jack Felgenhauer (left) swears in Hopedale’s newest council member John Cortez on Wednesday evening. He is the father of current Council Member Jonathan Cortez.

“There’s a pre-construction meeting at the firehouse on Tuesday,” February 23 at 2:30 p.m. He said it was for the Rabbit Road waterline project where they will go over some details and answer questions.

Under Water & Sewer, Council Member Don Jochims told council about a pipe that burst inside a private home.

Eventually the leak was found and water shut off where the bill came to $600. He said the board

of public affairs would give the owners three months to pay the bill.

“We were losing about five thousand gallons a day,” Jochims said adding that the total loss of water was a little more than 78,000 gallons. He said empty houses are being checked for water leaks and suggested council members keep their eyes open for any signs of leaks.

Council members expressed surprise when Jochims told

them around 30 to 35 vacant houses they were looking at. He told council that they were still looking at a loss of 5,000 gallons per day as told to him by the water department, where the search has led them to some houses outside village limits.

Council also voted to approve giving village employees a $200 stipend for work clothing. They also gave them the liberty of shopping where they chose instead of limiting their choices.

Scio Council has answers for concerned citizen

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE SCIO — Last Wednesday, Scio Village Council was joined virtually by a concerned citizen and Thrasher Group, the engineering and consulting firm that has been managing multiple projects for the Village. Upon calling the meeting to order, the concerned citizen began explaining the issue of “the pond”, referring to the shattered storm drain at the intersection of route 646 and East College street. Prior to the meeting, the citizen had driven through the puddle of snow melt and hit the submerged curb, resulting in a blown tire that happened later down the road. He suggested the

Village resolve the drainage issue promptly and fill the area with gravel in the interim.

“Something needs to be done.

It’s not right. You guys are supposed to be looking out for us… but this ‘pond’ is keeping Scio Tire in business! I’m here as a concerned citizen looking out for my fellow citizens. I know you guys [the council] will do the right thing.”

Mayor Michelle Carpenter sympathized with the setback and apologized for the lengthy process necessary to fix the intersection. Luckily, in the prior council meeting, the project was officially set in motion as Scio’s grant money had been secured.

The Thrasher Group had joined the meeting that evening to

speak to the same issue.

“We are well aware the catch basin is shattered. We are fixing this the correct way, which takes longer and I apologize for that,” mentioned Carpenter. “We will do our best to keep up with the gravel until the problem is resolved.”

Representatives from the Thrasher group spoke next. They congratulated the council on their newly captured grant money for the storm drain, made special mention of ODOT’s unusual and welcomed extra help in the matter, and reminded everyone of the project start date during the first week of April.

ODOT has offered to pay for

necessary environmental surveys, the purchase of the right of way, and kick in some extra money for the project. Members of the Thrasher Group and the Council expressed their gratitude and surprise at the offer.

“Congratulations on capturing this money for the drainage problem, totaling $149,900,” said a Thrasher Group representative. “ODOT is also considering the shortfall of $41,000 your Village would have to cover and looking to cover the cost entirely for you...Stage One of the drainage project should begin the first week of April.”

So We’re Here to Treat You!

CBA hears funding options from OMEGA

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The Ohio MidEastern Governments Association (OMEGA) sent a representative, Jake Huey, to the Cadiz Business Association meeting on Wednesday. Huey covered the types of funding communities could receive and what would make them eligible to receive it.

Huey explained how OMEGA is in the business of helping “small towns, villages and counties with grants.” He said they help sourcing for different projects such as traffic for one small example. The revolving loan fund administrator helps with small businesses and their needs, which has seen it grow since its inception back in 1992 with larger loans over the years, according to Huey.

Providing some background, he said his department, in starting back in 1992 began with $300,000 (EDA) with another $100,000 match plus $775,000

from ARC and an additional $300,000 from the USDA. “So, financing a business is like putting together a puzzle you know, a lot of times a business when they go to seek a loan… sometimes the bank won’t fund the entire loan and that’s kind of where OMEGA comes in,” Huey explained. He said in traditional projects they can contribute up to 40 percent, and a borrower’s contribution of 10 percent with a bank taking on 50 percent.

“We encourage bank participation but it’s not a must but, if there is any bank participation then we need bank denial letters,” Huey said adding that one of the biggest things is their private-for-profit businesses they help. He said the major loan program’s goal is to create or retain jobs with a lot of their funds going to land acquisition and buildings, and some contributing to machinery, equipment and “other fixed assets.”

Huey said their loans have “generally” been in the range of

Jake Huey of OMEGA spoke at Wednesday’s CBA meeting on grant possibilities for small businesses. OMEGA is there to help businesses and communities if banks are not a good option.

4 to 6 percent but lately said it was more at 2 percent. Huey said startups are a favorite for aiding

with OMEGA filling the gap when a bank’s interest becomes tenuous.

He also said

“expansions and buyouts” were a part of their interest as well.

He touched on the Harrison

County businesses they’ve provided for, which haven’t been plentiful. Huey stated that several businesses such as, Zanesville, Cambridge, Dover and Barnesville have been recipients with Harrison County only seeing two communities receiving loans (1994 and 2002).

Huey also touched on their Regional 166 Loan Program, which involves only existing businesses for “three-plus years.”

The business must also be involved in commerce, distribution and industrial manufacturing along with research. He said no retail can be involved and the “project could not have started before it would go to the state controlling board.”

Huey said the 166 program is a long process and a bit more complicated but it is another option for businesses. The website (omegadistrict.org) states that they provide “low interest fixed-rate loans to private-forprofit businesses in conjunction with bank financing.”

Conotton Creek Trail project to receive bids

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The Connotton Creek Trail project is set for the bid stage as the Harrison County Commissioners, on Wednesday, announced the advertising of those bids.

Commissioner Paul Coffland stated that sealed bids would be received at 10 a.m. on March 17 of this year.

The trail consists of 11.03 miles “with 2” of asphalt surface course followed by shoulder treatment.”

The bids are to follow the standard bid qualifications by ODOT, as well as the usual requirements.

The commissioner also approved of Resolution (5-21) signing off on the local corrections planning board. This is mandated by the Ohio Revised Code (5149.34) “to carry out the functions provided by law.” Judge T. Shawn Hervey serves as chairperson and

Probation Officer John Jackson as vice-chairperson.

The commissioners follow through with this regularly, as Coffland later stated that members serve two-year terms.

The probation office renovation was also addressed (Agreement 521) with APG Architects out of Zanesville. Coffland said the costs were broken down via architectural and construction administration, which covers the professional design and the

services construction phase as well: $4,200 for architectural services; $2,300 for mechanical and electrical engineering services; $200 reimbursable expenses and $450 for mileage and travel.

The commissioners approved of the agreement. Also, Coffland complimented Harrison County Engineer Doug Bachman on the writing of the engineer’s officepolicy manuel.

“This is well written, nicely updated and I do appreciate it as

well,” Coffland told Bachman after Commissioner Don Bethel gave his thanks.

Also, Emergency Management Agency Director Eric Wilson spoke to the board regarding the Federal Hazard Mitigation Grant Program with funds in the amount of $11,520 “have been obligated.” The state share for the grant is in the amount of $1,920.

“I congratulate Harrison County for its continue commitment to hazard mitigation,” Executive

Director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Sima S. Merick wrote.

The commissioners approved of Resolution (6-21) for the purposes of “certain federal financial assistance under the Disaster Relief Act.” Commissioner Don Bethel stated that they basically paid $2,000 for the $11,500 in return, which Wilson agreed was accurate.

New Athens dealing with EPA, loan rejection

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW ATHENS – On Monday New Athens council heard Mayor Joe Petro inform them that an Ohio Public Works Commission grant they applied for was rejected. He said they were working with Quicksall on that for the purposes of paving roads.

“We didn’t get our grant…”

Petro told council. He said that apparently another community had some “impending disaster”

and received the grant ahead of them.

“That’s how it works…it looks like that’s going to fall through all the way,” he repeated. “Even though we changed it, put money into it and took a loan out, it still wasn’t enough.

Someone else still got in front of us.”

Regarding the EPA, Petro stated that it was found that “too many particles” of E. coli from their sewage plant were found going out. He said it wasn’t that much but it was still a concern from the state agency

and will now be closely monitored.

“We got too much E coli going out…” Petro said adding that they were a few numbers above what they should be.

Wastewater Superintendent Tom Carter said this week that report was from last year as they only measure from May to October.

“It’s under control,” Carter said. “We got it figured out.”

But from the conversation between Petro and Council Member Matt Litman were having, it was clear they were

still dealing with EPA concerns.

“There’s a couple things there just to make everybody aware of it,” Petro stated. Also, Petro told council that the state would be “working with” the village on them obtaining oil and shale money. He said they wouldn’t see any of that until around July.

Under Old Business, Petro introduced two resolutions that were not placed on last year’s ballot in time. One was a tax renewal levy at 4.2 mils (current expenses) for five years and a general expense for 1-mil and it is also for five years. Council

passed both resolutions.

Also, council finally approved a contract with ODOT for servicing their roads. There had been a snag after hearing of a possible stipend from ODOT in return for the agreement. But that was not the case as the issue was first brought up in last month’s Jewett meeting. The agreement is only for allowing ODOT to cross into village property for snow and ice removal with no stipend involved, as stated by ODOT Public Information Officer Lauren Borell last month.

Village Solicitor Travis Collins told council he’d spoken to ODOT and was told that the “village has always been responsible for general maintenance of the state route.”

But that ODOT would continue to pave the state road within the village. “…Probably because they paved the road so often that it’s never really been an issue,” Collins explained. “So it really doesn’t change much.” He also confirmed that there is no stipend in exchange for the agreement.

Good News

By Pastor Ken Staley:

Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches

Overcoming Doubts Doubters come in all shapes and sizes. It’s a problem that afflicts all of us at one time or another.

The Bible calls us to be people of faith but because of our five physical senses, we can be lured into doubting and questioning spiritual directives from the Lord.

After the death of his good friend Lazarus, Jesus showed up several days afterwards and went to the tomb and commanded that the stone be rolled away.

Martha had seen and heard of all the supernatural things Jesus had done but instead of sitting back and enjoying the supernatural event that she should have known was about to take place she objected because she let her five physical senses rule the day. She knew, in the sensory realm, that after this much time in the tomb the odor would not be pleasant.

She doubted the Lord’s supernatural command in favor of her natural senses.

Peter and his pals were out

fishing all night and caught nothing. Jesus told him to cast his net on the other side of the boat.

Peter’s five physical senses took over by trying to reason with the Living God in a human body that, “I’ve fished all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless, Lord at your command…” Can you hear the reluctance in Peter’s voice?

Can you see the eye rolling exasperation? So, what happened at Peter’s doubtful obedience? A catch so large that the nets began to break.

When will we learn! When it doesn’t make sense, do it anyway.

Probably the most egregious doubter of all time was the disciple Thomas. He even got an expression named after himself that lives to this day, “Doubting Thomas”. Not exactly what one wants to be known for in the annals of history. After Jesus had risen from the dead, He appeared to the disciples, but Thomas was

not there.

When the disciples told Thomas, he brashly declared “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

Imagine if Thomas had as much bold faith as he had bold doubt.

Talk about mountain moving faith! The end of the story is that Jesus appeared again to a gathering of believers with Thomas in the room this time and Jesus gave him this rebuke, “Put your finger here and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Don’t be faithless but believe.”

As disciples of Jesus, isn’t that our title, our job description, “Believers”? No believer ever wants to hear Jesus call them faithless. As we enter more uncertain times in these last days our physical senses will be assaulted with doubts like never before.

Will we be faithful or faithless, believers or doubters? Let’s all live up to our title…Believers!

SMITHFIELD

BY ESTHER MCCOY Valentine's Day is this weekend. This is a big event for those up to sixth grade in elementary school and for those meeting the love of their lives.

And then again for grandparents receiving a card from grandchildren. Those cards are displayed on the refrigerator until you think the appliance that keeps cold foods cold will fall over forward.

I remember those Valentine boxes that were made to receive all those cards. Students brought decorated boxes to school and went around the room to see all the works of art.

Then came the procedure of placing cards in the boxes.

Those were the days. I think it still goes on. I haven't seen Nola Toth recently to see if it still happens for students to still get excited about exchanging them.

I do know that treats from parents are not big anymore.

Too much chance of allergies in foods and such.

February has lots going on.

Not holidays to make special meals or wrap up a present but Abraham Lincoln’s birthday was once a day of learning about the bearded man of great honesty.

Then George Washington's birthday was a day to get out of school. We have another great man to honor in Martin Luther King. This year the three men are wrapped up in President's Day on Feb. 15.

Steve Griffith sent a photo of an elementary school picture, Grade 7A I believe and it was interesting to pick Darin's friends out in it. There was Steve off course, Buster Holston, Bryan Toth, Kent Harris, and so many more I cannot name now.

Those young faces of so long ago. Students who now have students of their own that age and older. Time marches on.

I have to explain my absence from this page the past two weeks has been a reoccurring illness that has put me in the hospital for most of February

and still brought me to my knees on a few days.

The doctors, Lamont, Jay and Darin and my friends are trying to get me up and running again.

Age sure slows things down. But I am doing all I can to get healthy.

Stay out of crowds, wash your hands until you think they will get chapped, pay attention to washing dishes with very hot water and eat healthy. Until next time, I will stop writing now.

Lady Huskies cage Panthers 59 - 26 ; Defeat Meadowbrook 59 - 45

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - The law of the jungle states that survival belongs to the fittest, and when Dawgs and Panthers meet the name of the fittest is sure to be revealed. This would be the case on Saturday morning in Cadiz when the visiting Lady Panthers of Buckeye Local came calling. On this day, the Dawgs were stronger, and the fittest law would soon be broken.

Just as in their previous outing, both Husky squads would get “Ws” over the visitors. The reserve squad defeated the junior Panthers by a score of 37 - 29. Their work would be a little harder than what was revealed in the varsity contest; nevertheless, they got the job done. They would trail by four at the halfway mark (12 - 16), but at the final horn Harrison became a 37 - 29 winner. Danica Rensi led all scorers with a 12-point performance. Rensi has found a grove lately and continues to put up points for the Huskies.

Rensi would not be the only Husky cashing in on her Panther tickets on Saturday, as her teammates also pounded the bottom of the net. Angi Ferri pitched in a nine-points performance in the contest, with six of her points coming via bonus field goals. Kayln Ledger scored eight points while roughhousing rebounds, shooting, and collecting bad behavior points at the foul line.

Emma Fischer tossed in two laser shots that totaled sixpoints and added a common field goal for a total of eight points.

In the varsity contest, the game started with McKayla

On Saturday, the Lady Huskies defeated Buckeye Local by a score of 59- 26. On Monday they would travel to Meadowbrook and approve their record to 15 and 5, with a score of 59 - 45.

Pictured during the Buckeye Local game is Harrison’s point guard Maddy Butler (14), as she surveys the court for a pass. Positioned for the pass are Danyel Beadling (5), Danica Rensi (1), McKayla Dunkle (10), and Britton Positano (3).

Dunkle owning the jump ball, and the team never looked back from there. The win by the Huskies would put them at 14 and 5, while a contest with Meadowbrook on Monday stood in the shadows. A 33point difference was owned by the Huskies in the victory over Buckeye Local. Though the Huskies held a lead of 10 following the first period (14 4), then turned the lead into a 17-point advantage at the half (27 - 10); a fumbling act with passes and rebounds needed to be address. I think it would be safe to say that a good meeting in the locker room at the half helped to solve the issue.

Returning for the second half the Huskies would separate

from their visitors by a count the 33 points, and a final score of 59 - 26. Tipping the scale for game high points was McKayla Dunkle. Dunkle finished the contest with a collection of 27 points. Assists for Dunkle’s points came from every angle. She then took the passes, slowly twirled them, and wove them into gold.

While backing Dunkle’s play, Maddy Butler and Britton Positano shot for eight points each, Audrey Corder pierced the middle for six points and got her share of rebounds. As time winded down in the fourth, the junior varsity was slowly dispatched.

Angi Ferri came in and shot for three points, Emma

Fischer, Danica Rensi and Maggi Goudi all entered and added two points each. Threepoint goals during the game came from Dunkle one, Positano two and Ferri one.

On Monday, the Huskies traveled to Meadowbrook to take on the Lady Colts. The outcome of the contest (HC59 to M-45) allowed the Huskies to elevate their win/loss count to 15 and 5.

Dunkle continued to pace the club with 23 points, while her support system kicked in the main balance of the winning points. Corder and Positano also had an excellent outing.

The duo together pitched in 29 points, with Corder claiming 17 of the lot.

Second and Seven Foundation readings reach Harrison Central

By ED BANKS CADIZ - The second graders at Harrison Central Elementary got the opportunity to enjoy a visit from three high school athletes.

The athletes that provided the visit to the classroom were Abbi Jozwiak, Kobe Mitchell, and Caleb Blawut.

I want to thank Abbi Jozwiak, Kobe Mitchell, and Caleb Blawut for accepting their role in the program. In addition, I would like to send out a special thank you to second grade teacher Ms. Anna Tipton for making this presentation to the kids happen,” he added.

Adena discusses joining township police department

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

ADENA – The topic of the Adena Police Department being shut down in order to join a township police department was discussed Tuesday evening with several council members adding points for and against. Police Chief Paul Carpenter stated that what came out of their recent township meeting was an invitation to Adena for joining.

“We’re trying to work together to make something better,” Carpenter told council adding that combining Smithfield, Pineyfork, Dillonvale, Friendship Park along with Adena in order to make a larger department. He said it would eventually have a 24/7 service but it would not be immediate.

Mayor Brenda Roski noted the small figure of $18,000 for their

police department “is not much money.” Council Member Marla Brokaw voiced support in the beginning and said the move would be best for their community and Carpenter himself, where she made a motion to pass. Roski acknowledged that Carpenter would be leaving regardless and would also be “ridiculous” for him to remain as Adena’s chief, referring to the current low pay.

A second was made to the motion and a long discussion followed. Council Member RJ Konkoleski, who also was at the township meeting, emphasized that the township was not looking to form a district but was seeking a “contract” with Adena “for police services.”

Council Member Mark Anderson voiced some of his concerns by asking if the police levy Adena has in effect, would

be applied to the township.

Village Solicitor Adam Martello said he did not immediately know the answer but speculated that it could but would need more time. Roski noted that the fire department levy did when they merged with the township but Anderson noted that the fire department was a separate entity from the village unlike the police department, which is not.

Konkoleski then addressed numerous concerns he had with the proposal with one being that police levy stating the community voted convincingly for Adena Police “not for something else.”

“And I feel like it’s kind of a bait and switch that we go out for these levies and now we’re doing something different,” Konkoleski explained. He added more concerns involving money

Area resident’s grandson makes second Super Bowl appearance

BY ESTHER MCCOY BLOOMNDGALE - It is nice to hear when the grandson of a local resident makes it to the big time in sports and Janice Reiter of Fairfield, outside of Bloomingdale, could not be happier about her grandson's achievements., Austin, a Wintersville High School graduate played for his second year with the Kansas City Chiefs in the highly prized Super Bowls this year.

In 2020, he advanced to a

National Football League starter at center, blocking for Patrick Mahomes, and his grandmother, could not be more proud of the advancements he has made.

Janice was showing off a picture of the 2020 Super Bowl ring that was captured by the team last year while working at the local elections.

And what grandmother would ot be proud of his achievements.

She noted that much work had been put into getting where he is now. "He trains

12 months out of the year and is a dedicated athlete," she noted. with a big smile.

He was drafted by Cleveland out of college and spent two years with the Browns. After that he was signed with the Kansas Chiefs and went on to play in his first Super Bowl in 2020.

Mrs. Reiter is a winner as well. She was the grand prize winner in a Steubenville newspaper based cooking and baking contest in 2015, being first place the year before.

that would be taken from their budget, police equipment transferred away, no local control and no guarantees regarding patrols or staffing. He also said a mayor’s court would no longer exist, which he said brings in extra revenue for the village. He said the possible benefits were not given as definites and no hard timelines as a certainty.

“We have thirty-two hours of coverage…and if they go to a full time officer, are they going to spend more than thirty-two hours in Adena when they have a township that is fifty square miles?” Konkoleski asked. “I don’t think the math works out.” Carpenter argued that he could put the time in Adena as a township officer but Konkoleski stated that it was more about closing their police department down and if need

be, starting it back up from scratch and what that cost would be. Those concerns along with the township not wanting a district but a contract with these communities was another sticking point with a few council members.

Martello understood why the township could not guarantee police in the village at all times if a more important call was to be answered in another part of the township, which Roski agreed. He added that the village has more control, though, in that type of scenario than a police district.

“I think we should be focusing on building our police department,” Konkoleski continued, “not trying to sign it away. There’s no grant they can get that we can’t get, there’s nothing they can go after that we can’t go after.”

Carpenter said the township would build towards a district as a “stepping stone” approach but Martello disagreed. Carpenter said they are putting money towards a budget and that he would be getting 40 hours per week with the township. He said a grant was being sought and a levy would be placed on the fall ballot as well. But Konkoleski asked how they would balance two levies (Adena and township) with Adena just passing one, even though the Adena levies are renewals.

Roski felt a special meeting was needed to thoroughly discuss the matter and come to a conclusion. Martello added that council couldn’t enter into any agreement anyway because there was “no agreement to vote on.”

Brokaw eventually rescinded her initial motion based on her discovery of township issues that need straightened out. Council then agreed to a special meeting.

OHHS partners with OSU to bring mobile mammography to the region Ohio Hills Health Services is pleased to partner with the Ohio State University Breast Health Connection Project, The James-The Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Ohio Department of Health to bring mobile mammography to Freeport, Quaker City and Woodsfield, Ohio during 2021.

Everyone is welcome. You do not need to be a patient at Ohio Hills Health Services to participate. Area residents who are uninsured or underinsured and meet certain income guidelines may be eligible for a free mammogram. Most health insurances are also accepted.

The mobile mammography unit will be at the Freeport Family Health Center on May 4, at the Quaker City Family Health Center on May 11 and Nov. 24 and at the Monroe Family Health Center on April 6, July 1, Oct. 27 and Dec. 30.

“It is important for area women to have access to affordable mammograms,” said Heather Saffle, RN, BSN, Health Center Manager, Monroe Family Health Center.

“We are pleased that the Ohio

State University Breast Health Connection Project mobile unit is willing to come to our Health Centers. It is a great service for our community.”

Mammography is the most effective screening tool used today to find breast cancer in women. The American Cancer Society recommends monthly breast self-examinations, physician exams and annual mammograms after the age of 40 to detect breast cancer. However, the benefits of mammography vary by age. If you have

questions regarding your need for a mammogram talk to your health care provider.

During the pandemic extra precautions will be taken to keep patients safe. Patients may be asked to register at a table outside of the mobile unit and to wait outside or in their car until their appointment. All surfaces will be disinfected between patients.

Early detection saves lives. If you have questions or to schedule an appointment, please call Sherri Smith at 844-284PINK (7465).

Buckeye West students promoting kindness ADENA — Third-graders at Buckeye West Elementary in Adena are promoting kindness to uplift spirits at school and at home.

Teacher Kelley Novak began her Kindness Challenge earlier this month and hopes to continue it for the remainder of the school year, saying simple acts can make a big impact upon others. Students will be tasked each day to perform an activity from putting a friendly note on someone's locker to thanking a teacher.

"We were doing a communities activity in Social Studies and I ran across this Kindness Challenge," said Novak. "I thought it would be a great time to do something positive with so much negativity going on right now."

She began by reading a story to her class and followed with a daily list of activities for her 28 students to perform throughout the month. Activities range from writing thank you notes and simply saying "Hello" to another student to doing chores at home

without expectation or telling their parents they love them.

"Each day is something new and fun and they do as many as they can," Novak added. She said the children were excited to participate and the project would also bolster moods in light of COVID. "I want to do this for the rest of the year," she said. "I thought it was the perfect time with everything the kids are going through. It gives them something positive to look forward to."

Ohio's 2020-2021 deer hunting season concludes COLUMBUS, Ohio –One of Ohio's most successful whitetailed deer hunting seasons concluded Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021 with 197,735 deer harvested, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.

That total is the highest since 218,910 deer were taken during the 2012-2013 hunting season.

The final harvest totals represent all deer taken during archery, gun, muzzleloader, and youth hunting seasons that began Sept. 26, 2020.

An average of 180,921 deer were harvested during the last three years.

Since September 2020, hunters harvested 94,691 deer with archery equipment, while 86,853 deer were taken with firearms during the weeklong and two-day gun seasons. In addition, 9,708 deer were harvested with muzzleloaders. Young hunters found success during the two-day youth season with 5,795 deer harvested.

"We are pleased to see an increased number of deer taken this season as Ohio's hunters spent more time in the woods during the fall and winter," said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker.

"Hunting provides a great connection to the outdoors as well as a direct link to a healthy and natural food source."

The top 10 counties for deer harvested during the 2020-2021 deer season include: Coshocton (6,791), Tuscarawas (6,158), Ashtabula (5,662), Licking (5,549), Knox (5,247), Muskingum (5,172), Holmes (4,833), Guernsey (4,809), Carroll (4,123), and Trumbull (4,015).

Deer hunting occurs in all 88 counties and an estimated 310,000 hunters participated during Ohio's deer seasons, and more than 409,809 deer permits were purchased or issued.

Hotspots for deer hunting are found mostly in the eastern regions. Coshocton County leads

the state in total deer harvests over the last five years, with 6,715 deer taken during the 2019-2020 season.

The popularity of hunting with archery equipment continues to grow, with 48 percent of deer taken during the 2020-2021 archery season, including 33 percent using a crossbow and 15 percent using a vertical bow. Gun harvest attributed to 52 percent of the harvest. This includes 22 percent with shotguns, 21 percent with straight walled cartridge rifles, 8 percent with muzzleloaders, and less than 1 percent with handguns.

Across all deer seasons, hunters harvested 80,003 bucks, accounting for 40 percent of the total harvest. Does represented 48 percent of the harvest with 94,771 taken, while 19,629 button bucks were taken, for 10 percent. Bucks with shed antlers and bucks with antlers less than 3 inches long accounted for 3,332 deer, or 2 percent of the harvest. Deer harvest summaries can be found on theDeer Harvest Summary

page at wildohio.gov.
