APEG touts $250 million for Ohio jobs

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation (HCCIC) held their monthly meeting Tuesday inside the Cadiz Puskarich Library. The main topic of discussion was jobs as not only President of APEG (American Partnership for Economic Growth) Mike Jacoby was present, but Senior Director for JobsOhio, Glenda Bumgarner Phd was also there to talk growth and jobs for the area.

The $250 million is to be spread out over five years at $50 million per, according to Bumgarner. She later explained that all 88 counties will be considered and applications are being accepted as of now.

Jacoby reminded the audience that they are a regional non-profit organization and called this period a “unique time.” He said this with not only the entire country in mind but for southeast Ohio as well.

“This is the perfect time to be making

plans and investing for the future,” he stated. Jacoby spoke of no recessions in over a decade, low unemployment and low inflation. He said this isn’t without challenges for Appalachia, though, with its lack of infrastructure and receding population, as opposed to thriving economics and population growth in other parts of the state.

He called oil and gas a “finite resource,” which isn’t going to last forever thereby encouraging public entities to leverage those oil and gas dollars coming in and “to build for the future.”

Jacoby gave a little history on APEG where JobsOhio is the parent company and where the board was appointed by the governor. He said economic development is funded by leasing the state’s liquor franchise calling that sufficient profits in helping build for the future economic development.

Jacoby said 23 projects were completed last year where those companies pledged to create 815 jobs and “invest two point four billion dollars” with additional incentives from APEG in the amount of $10.4 million.

He also called the momentum concerning the proposed Belmont cracker plant “very good” even though the deadline continually is being pushed back.

“We now have more tools to help proactively help communities to prepare,” he said of APEG’s resources.

He said before they were there for the companies but are now set up to help communities prepared for economic growth. Included in those resources are site readiness grants, matching funds for various studies along with the Rural Industrial Park Loan, which he said was passed just last year.

“If you look at our region our economy is not as diverse as the rest of the state,” Jacoby explained while changing gears. He said that includes no information technology, financial services, biotech as well as aerospace technology. He said there is much needed work left to do in order to diversify the economy to be able to keep young people in the area. He said they do have some tools to help this along but there is also much that needs to happen to see stronger economic

President of APEG Mike Jacoby and Senior Director of JobsOhio Glenda Bumgarner paid a visit to Harrison County for their CIC meeting held Tuesday at the Puskarich Library in Cadiz. Jobs, investment in the oil and gas industry while it’s still viable and the proposed Belmont cracker plant were spoken about with heavy emphasis.

development come to fruition.

Bumgarner followed with more jobs talk and the importance of giving each citizen a fair chance at a job.

“I personally think that all roads need to lead to employment for our citizens,”

Nola Toth, 8-years-old and her sister, Lucy, 3-years-old use a white glide-board sled to deliver a Valentine gift to their grandmother, Dorothy Toth of Dillonvale during the beautiful snow last week. Nola had a few occasions to fall off or nearly take out a tree but this was the first real sledding weather this winter in their area.

CADIZ – The village of Cadiz, which goes through the normal yearly update-talk from their energy broker (Volunteer Energy), received last Thursday a check in the amount of $8,800, which was higher than in years past.

Larry Taylor was Volunteer’s representative stating he administers the gas and electric aggregate program for Cadiz.

Preceding the check Taylor went over some particulars of the gas and electric programs stating they reward 5 cents for every Mcf (1,000 cubic feet) used by the customer. For the electric one-eighth of a mill is given for each kilowatt used.

He said the check presented was a build up of two years in gas and electric each. Normally, those reinvestment checks were usually in the three to four thousand dollar range.

Treasurer Amy Ossman stated that part of the money is used for such things as flags or any other community usefulness.

Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski wanted to remind the public that residents need to sign their easements for the waterline project but they do not have to stay for the next meeting, which is slated to take place in the next few weeks. Also, Mayor John Migliore reminded everyone that a $1 million grant and a $500,000 loan already approved depends on those signatures. All the village needs is for them to come in and sign.

Andrzejewski also stated that residents could also come up to the municipal building and sign without attending any meeting if they choose. He said he would be available to answer any questions as well.

“And if we don’t get the easements…we don’t get the loan and the grants, so this directly helps keep the rates down,” Andrzejewski explained.

Marchetta making pre-election rounds for the Silver Spade Ambulance District

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HOPEDALE – The issue of the Silver Spade Ambulance District (SSAD) that is hanging in the balance of the upcoming election will be heading towards the voting polls with a full head of steam if Hopedale Fire Chief Mark Marchetta has anything to say about it.

Marchetta has been making the rounds providing information on the SSAD

HARRISON

NEWS-HERALD

through seminars in Hopedale and Cadiz with several more still scheduled. Last Thursday Marchetta held another round of education talks on the SSAD at the firehouse in Hopedale. After completing a little history of himself and the naming of the proposed new ambulance district stating it had to be independent-sounding, and not just about a particular community, he proceeded to talk of the demand for more first responders.

And as part of that history Marchetta stated that funeral directors began phasing

out ambulance service back in the early 1970s. Several years after that, the Harrison County Commissioners approached the volunteer fire department about providing ambulance service.

“So, the system for the last forty-six years was actually born out of the volunteer fire department. And the volunteers have served extraordinarily for all those years but, there’s just not as many of them to go around as there used to be,” Marchetta explained.

He said there are now 10 ambulance

services that operate voluntarily under the commissioners minus two, Cadiz not in operation any longer and Hopedale, which is a paid department for now. This concerned the commissioners to start bidding out for a backup ambulance service, which is now operated by the Harrison Community Hospital.

Marchetta touched on the Cadiz EMS service that left town several years ago followed by Cadiz FD EMS service going out of business.

“So, from twenty-sixteen to twenty-

nineteen Cadiz Fire Department tried to pick up where Cadiz EMS left off, they tried that for a few years for the same reason the Cadiz EMS couldn’t do it, Cadiz Fire Department got out of the business and we started taking those calls since then,” Marchetta said referring to Hopedale since they received their grant in 2018.

He also covered material that’s already been published but does have significance

CBA chooses Vineyard 22 as site of Recognition Banquet

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The Cadiz Business Association (CBA) announced that Vineyard 22 will host the annual 2020 Recognition Banquet. The monthly meeting was held again at the Days Inn along Ohio 9 in Cadiz on Wednesday. CBA President Teresa Posada stated that details were still being worked out regarding ticket prices and other logistics.

She said on their Facebook page anyone interested in nominating someone for an award can do it there. She said hard copies would also be handed around for people to fill out. The deadline for nominating they determined would be the end of February.

The meeting also focused heavily on promoting business in the village. Teresa and Josh Posada have been leading the way lately with Josh sharing some ideas concerning something he called a “business incubator.” He said his wish was to teach individuals, especially young people just out of school what to do with their money and how to invest.

Josh also volunteers at the Belmont-Harrison Career Center while working with staff every Friday teaching students on pipe welding. He wants the public to

know that donations of any kind of pipe would be welcome. He also spoke of plans to occupy a building they own on E. Market Street and turn it into a business helping people with business.

Those details he said, still have to be worked out.

Teresa touched on her own idea regarding financial classes hosted by the CBA. No action was taken on location but discussion followed her noting a business master class as part of a collaboration. Some ideas involved would be what works in business and how to recruit them to the area. Cadiz Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski, stating he had previously been a bank manager offered his assistance as well.

Also, Janet Fenstamaker of the Cadiz Visitor’s Center offered assistance into buying more banners for decorating uptown.

The board noted the attractive Christmas banners and the ambition was to purchase more for springtime, summer and fall.

And finally, the CBA has chosen a logo picked from four candidates, which were designed by students at the Career Center.

The letters “CBA” are written in the middle encircled by multicolored lines. The pick was nearly unanimous.

From PG | 1 Migliore also touched on the Safe Route to Schools for the proposed sidewalk from the old post office to the entrance of Sally Buffalo Park on Ohio 9. He announced an estimate from E.L.

Mayor Migliore also received council’s approval for the Sally Buffalo playground sign they have been working on.

From PG | 1 in that volunteerism is “at the lowest rate in thirty years.” He said young people are less likely to volunteer for the service compared to past years.

Marchetta has emphasized multiple times that without the levy Hopedale, which is the only paid fire and rescue department in the county would return to an unstaffed and all-volunteer unit.

Emergency calls have risen by more than 400 percent since 2016’s 278 calls to 2019’s 1,459.

The current estimate for 2020 sits at 1,738, according to Marchetta.

The confusion among some

around the state meeting community leaders and seeing what they can do to prepare themselves. She said timing is everything and with the still booming oil and gas industry it is important for attracting but also expanding companies that are already in place. She also repeated Jacoby’s statement that the oil and gas industry is not infinite “And I promise you companies

will go across the state line to Pennsylvania,” she explained.

“Your citizens can lose those opportunities if we are not able at the local, regional and state levels to get a plan in place.”

She applauded local efforts in cleaning up the water and projects dealing with that isse, which are ongoing. Bumgarner said she was impressed by one particular company and the investments made but that if

you let companies like that get away they are difficult to replace.

Harrison County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen added that this region “would not be where it is today without…the APEG organization.” This was on the heels of the announcement that JobsOhio was contributing $20 million for the Belmont cracker plant.

to be a topic as he informed council a meeting had taken place with ODNR officials to discuss their letter addressed to the village.

ODNR is pushing the village to take action primarily on the large dam, which will include studies to determine the amount of work needed. Work is also needed at Sparrow Dam. “We will have to incur the costs of the study by an engineering firm and then do any required repairs or new work as determined by ODNR,”Andrzejewski explained in his report. “It’s come to the point where we have to do something. They won’t let us put it off anymore.” He also said they are required to lower the level of

the lake by an additional five feet after bringing it down by five feet previously. Regarding timelines, Migliore stated that ODNR only wants to see progress, not necessarily exact dates.

Council Member Billy Hyde suggested selling the water drained from the lake to oil and gas companies. Council discussed the idea and thought favorably of it but no action was taken.

Also, Andrzejewski met with CT Consultants for an update on water plant improvements and HAB repairs. He said the Hopedale’s water supply would not be sufficient enough to supply Cadiz when its plant shuts down for repairs.

“Therefore we are looking at a temporary filtering system instead,” Andrzejewski explained. He told council that after testing Hopedale could only supply 50,000 gallons per day, which he said was “nowhere near what we need.” He said a filtering truck was talked about being brought in for filtering the water while acting as a “temporary water plant.”

Andrzejewski said cost of the temporary filtering truck and the cost for replacing the pumps at the plant is the next thing to be expected, “so we have a permanent backup system.”

residents, though, lies in who covers the four districts the SSAD proposes to be: Cadiz, Cadiz Township, Green Township and Hopedale along with the rest of the county. The answer is the same volunteer system along with HCH as backup only. There are other roadblocks to the volunteer system, which is the cost to become an EMT. Marchetta said training takes three to four months and approximately two years to become a paramedic.

“And it’s over ten thousand dollars,” he said. “So, if you’re a young person and you’re going to go to college for five semesters and pay ten to twelve thousand dollars, you’re not doing it to just volunteer for your community,”

Marchetta explained, “you’re looking for a job or a career…”

Regarding the levy there are questions and some outright complaints. Some just don’t want to pay more taxes. Marchetta provided some information that applies to a 2.25 mill tax levy, which is what the SSAD is pursuing. For property values of $40,000 the cost per day is listed at .25 cents; for $50,000 the cost is .31 cents and the cost rises at 6 cents per day for every $10,000 increase in property value.

Marchetta stated that there is the chance that the grant they were awarded in 2018 could be re-applied for but he added there are no guarantees it would be handed to them again. He said even though the

four districts that would make up the SSAD doesn’t mean they would not serve the rest of the county. On the contrary, Marchetta explained that the SSAD would just be the priority with the rest of the county taken care of after that. And again, this is all encompassed by the service the HCH now provides to the entire county as backup to the mostly volunteer county fire and rescue units.

“Without either one of us the system collapses,” Marcehtta said of the volunteers and HCH as backup.

“And we’re at a point in time in Harrison County that if you want an ambulance in a timely manner there’s going to have to be some tax money involved with it,” Marchetta said.

Adena dealing with transition, audit

finances. Under the topic of Finances, that subject was touched on at Tuesday’s regular council meeting. And newly elected Clerk Treasurer Cynthia Hunter, who is in training, sat in for the outgoing treasurer Bobbie Gaffney who is ill.

Hunter later stated that the audit is a routine audit for helping in the transition while she is being trained, adding that the audit will take “a while.”

During the meeting she said files needed sorted and better organized and that items needed cleaning up for her to take over.

“I’m getting a little familiar with what she’s doing so it’s getting a little easier,” Hunter said of Gaffney’s work. She told Roski that the process wouldn’t he hard but more tedious. She also said no reports were completed to the IRS for the “second, third and fourth quarter of (20)18.” Also parts of 2019 as well, though she was told by Gaffney that she had.

Hunter added that it was difficult to check on things

when they don’t have everything there to look over.

Roski asked what were the repercussions of not having everything at the municipal office. Village Solicitor Adam Martello answered by referring to what was said in a prior executive session while noting that Gaffney has been ill.

“We offered to go get them,” Roski said, which Martello agreed would be the thing to do.

When asked about Gaffney having village files at home Martello said he saw nothing illegal regarding that issue.

Gaffney could not be reached for this article.

Roski also touched on the village community center calling the condition “embarrassing.” She said general cleaning up and mopping of the floors was on the agenda to “get that place presentable.” Roski also announced that a contract was signed with Kimble Companies for their garbage pickup.

“And I still want you guys to

consider make [it] mandatory that everybody in the village of Adena has garbage,” she told council. “Sorry, the dumpsters are gone at the parks until the ball teams start and they’re going to be locked.” She also complained of garbage in people’s yards and wants the village cleaned up once and for all.

“We’re not messing around,” she continued adding that the health department would be called in if certain residents do not clean up their properties.

Roski also recognized two long-time members in the village.

Former Council Member Terry Marshall and Wilda Brokaw who is celebrating her 100th birthday.

Both are to receive plaques that Roski displayed for council.

Current Council Member and daughter Marla Brokaw received the plaque on behalf of her mother.

New Athens discusses water tap-ins

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW ATHENS – A new water tap-in to be put in by the village of New Athens was again discussed at Monday’s New Athens council meeting. A resident would then put in their own line but price wasn’t the issue as much as size where a three quarter-inch to tap-in to a two-inch tap-in was discussed.

Some council members wondered out loud how the customer was going to get the water pumped through the line considering the hill it was to travel is fairly steep.

It was noted that the tap-in fee is non-refundable so the question of whether the customer actually taps into the line would not be of any consequence to the village.

Village Solicitor Travis Collins stated that the customer had already entered into a waterline

agreement and it was also noted that the deadline for completing the project is March 12 of 2020.

Mayor Joe Petro said he understood the tap-in to be three quarter-inch but Council Member Mark Arnold said it was written as a one-inch tap-in.

Council Member Matt Litman said the village has no one-inch tap-ins and Collins stated that if it does say that then it is probably written in error.

Council understood the customer as wanting to put in a two-inch line, which led to more discussion.

Petro again prodded council to make a decision on going forward with the project or dropping it but Collins stated there was already an agreement with the village and the customer therefore, no decision to be made. When Petro asked if everyone was satisfied with what the agreement states, several said they were.

Council established the fact that they would continue with a three-quarter-inch line as they have throughout the village. It was also noted that this customer or anyone, who wants to tap-in off their own line must receive permission from the village.

“He can run what he wants we’re going to tap threequarters,” Litman said referring to Collins’ reading of the agreement that states the customer wishes to put in a two-inch line.

“Look, this has been agreed to, the council already agreed to this once before it was drafted so if you say, ‘no we don’t (want to do this)’ then he could probably sue the village…” Collins told council.

Also, Village Administrator Tosha Giesey in her report, read a letter sent in by a water customer who complained of being charged a $45 late fee.

But Giesey said the late fee handed down was $20 not $45 and though, the letter stated it was sent by mail there was no stamp attached to it. She said $100 was sent with the letter and it was “in the drop box.”

“So, I’m not waiving the $20 late fee unless you guys tell me to,” she told council referring to the discrepancy on whether the customer actually sent the money in before deadline.

When Council Member Nancy Martin asked how long customers have until they’re shutoff, Giesey said it was 30 days, reminding her that it was recently changed. Council decided not to waive the $20 late fee based on the fact that the letter was not stamped and no proof when it was actually dropped off.

Also, Mayor Petro was sworn in for his second term as mayor of New Athens.

Scio begins year with new rates, meters

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

SCIO – Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh told council at Scio’s regular council meeting Wednesday and provided information on new water meters and some financial figures for council to digest.

He stated that 50 new water meters (residential customers) had been ordered with three being residential and commercial and three for commercial businesses within the village. He said after meeting with Kamstrup representatives for additional meters he suggested they should order them before the price goes up, which he said hadn’t as of now.

“The intent for installation will be to have new meters in all commercial properties, and the

remaining meters will be installed in homes with new water lines,” Tubaugh explained in his report. He said the production, regarding the EPA’s “metrics” for the month of January was $14,067.83 with expenditures (for water treatment plant) totaling $9,800.13. He said net revenue added up to $4,267.70. He told council this is the first month the village will see the new water rates take effect, via village ordinance.

“Now don’t get fixated on that revenue number because that will fluctuate as the year goes on,” he explained to council.

“It’s all based on production, demand and usage, which the more we produce the more chemicals we use so you kind of offset your revenue a little bit.”

He said if there were any costsaving measures to take up that

they would definitely engage in those as well.

Regarding the ODOT building the village has been discussing for quite some time.

Tubaugh stated that ODOT was still in pending on an ODNR rejection considering they had first refusal rights. He said Scio was the second offer but the problem he said was price.

“They are asking fifty-six thousand dollars for that building,” Tubaugh told council. “From anyone,” he said adding that it would be good for the town but after hearing of the price made him second guess. He said it was now up to council to keep that figure in mind when deciding what to do.

Also, Income Tax Administrator Janeen Scott told council that she is working with

$5,200 in legal work “that could possibly need done.” She said she is working with those residents involved but she also said some “legal work” may be needed if they do not follow through, as she put it.

Scott also said she is having problems with one business in the village who has not filled out a permit for working in the village. She said she has taken the necessary papers to them “twice” but that they have “refused to fill them out.”

“That’s something that we need to address and how we’re going to handle it,” Scott explained. She said it’s an issue that needs addressing adding that there was more to the issue than just a permit to file.

“They can’t get away with this anywhere else.”

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy Smithfield High School students took their classmates seriously. You will be able to see this from what follows. On Feb. 11, my “lifetime” friend, Florence Burkett Turnbull called from Lakeland, Fla., and her first words were “I bet you will never guess who just left my house?” I started in with my guessing, “Are they someone from Ohio?” I received a yes.

“Someone from an area near Smithfield?” There was a yes again. I threw out a guess. “Was it ValJean Peterson?” I asked on a chance guess. “How did you guess that?” she asked in amazement.

I knew they renewed a friendship over Facebook after not seeing each other for 68 years. And it was the only recent one I had heard about. I argued that it was 64 years, as they both graduated in 1956 but Flo corrected me in a hurry. “You are wrong my dear.

She moved and went her last two years at Wayne High School. So it was 68 years,” she explained, loving it when she got something up on me.

Valjean was accompanied by her sister who lives in Hyde City and a sister and her niece from Hopedale. She dug out her yearbooks and they reminisced about classmates together. “I even made a chocolate cake in memory of the time I was at her house and her mom had a delicious, homemade cake sitting on the table. “So I made one in memory of that time.

Mine was from a box and nothing as good as Mrs. Peterson’s though. It just tasted great enjoying it with old friends,” she concluded.

The snow this past weekend brought my two grandnieces, Nola and Lucy, out with a board sled, nothing like the two runner- one steering mechanism sleds we used years ago. We would stand at the top of a hill,

hold the sled chest high, take a big run and slam the sled on the ground and go flying down the hill. About two-thirds of the way down was a ramp and the sledder could hit and go flying in the air if you felt adventurous or steer away from it if not. My back aches just thinking about that ramp.

The Fort Steuben Mall was the raceway for the self-designed wooden racers that went careening down the track that I assume was made of pinewood since that was its name, “Pinewood Derby.” It was great to see that some of our own scouts took an award. John “J.P.” Wilson, Pack 269 Cadiz was second; Jacob Ramsey, Pack 20, Richmond was fourth; and Dugan Mills, Pack 20 of Richmond was sixth. It is the first time in history that a girl, Reagan Huggins, Pack 334, Weirton, took first place. You go girl! Robert Kovalski, was in charge of the event and placed first in the hot rod race; a younger Robert Kovaleski, was third; Karen Hill, Troop 415, second in the family race stock class and fourth in the hot rod class; and Suzan Kovaleski, sixth.

The Jefferson County 4-H is holding a Valentines 4-H Dance at the Winter Carnival held at the county Joint Vocational School Feb. 15 the cost is $5 and includes snacks, crafts and activities. Time is getting closer to the Iron Chef Clinic that will be held at the JVS on March 7.

The item to be used in all recipes will be fresh Ohio tomatoes.

Don’t try to buy tomatoes that day, as 4-H’ers will have them all disappear from the shelves for their recipes. The categories are soups, appetizers, main dish or dessert. This is an exciting event to attend. I have judged several times and it has been such a hard choice seeing all the trouble the 4-H members go through to make a tasty and well-displayed product.

The Harrison County Fair Board has likely been meeting already this year. They have a list of organization up- dates including: President, Lynette Dauch; vice president, Richard Eberhart; secretary, Jessie Birney; treasurer, Tom Carter; junior fair manager, Ryan Marker. The sale committee consists of president, Keila Telfer; vice president, Clint Barr; treasurer, Alice Barr. The 4-H Committee consists of president, Abby Jackson; vice president, Janet Fenstamaker; secretary; Sherri VanTassel ; and treasurer, Dolores Spragg.

Looking back at the Ehrhart Hotel

The Ehrhart Hotel was located at the corner of N. Main St. and W. Spring St. April 11, 1901 from the Cadiz Republican "The Ehrhart Hotel is having an addition made of a large and beautiful veranda, at its front entrance, which will add much to the appearance of the building, and also conduces to the comfort of guest. The splendid success of the Ehrhart Hotel shows that a hotel which is strictly first class can be maintained in Cadiz without the aid of a bar. It used to be said that no first class hotel could be maintained in Cadiz without selling liquors.

The Ehrhart House has the best class of guest, and all its appointments are first class, and it has built up its great and acknowledged success without ever selling a drop of liquor to any guest or anybody else." When the Arcade Hotel (forerunner of the General Custer Hotel) was unable to accommodate all its guests, they were sent down to Ehrhart's and that was the start of the Ehrhart Hotel. The Ehrhart Hotel closed after the construction of the General Custer Hotel.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR February is Children’s Dental Health Month February is Children’s Dental Health Month. In my dental practice I routinely see children coming to my office with widespread tooth decay and abscesses. Unfortunately, dental cavities are one of the most common chronic diseases in children and teens. Many people don’t realize that poor oral health negatively impacts a child’s school performance and their overall health.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises that children should see a dentist when they get their first tooth and not later than 1 year of age. The goal is to prevent tooth decay, yet many people wait until a child develops dental problems before they schedule their child’s first dental appointment. This makes the first dental visit scarier and potentially painful. If a child has routine dental care from their first year on, it is possible to prevent nearly all tooth decay.

Another way to prevent cavities in young children is to improve a

Letter to the Editor: We would like to Thank The Cadiz Fire Dept., Cathy Rose

mother’s oral health. Good dental care can lower the risk that a woman could possibly infect her children with cavity causing bacteria. It is unfortunate but children who have mothers with high levels of untreated cavities or tooth loss are more than 3 times more likely to have cavities as a child. (CDC.gov) Changing hormones during pregnancy may also contribute to a surprising number of pregnant women, (nearly 60 to 75% according to the CDC.gov) having gingivitis, an early stage of periodontal disease that occurs when the gums become red and swollen from inflammation.

Periodontitis has been associated with poor pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth and low birth weight. I encourage all pregnant women to visit a dentist.

During Children’s Dental Health Month, I would like to emphasize two important things that we can do to improve the oral health of children. First, it is important for all pregnant women to visit a dentist for their own health and the health of their children.

Second, all children should be seen by a dentist by their first birthday

as this launches them on a course of good oral health.

Good oral health impacts our ability to speak, smile, eat, and show emotions. It also affects selfesteem, and attendance at work and school. Good dental care is an important investment in the overall health and wellbeing of a child.

Almost every day I see a child and wish I could have seen him or her sooner to help prevent the pain of tooth decay. I understand dental care is expensive, and many people do not have dental insurance.

However, there are options available. The first dental visit by the age of one is covered by Ohio Medicaid and most insurances.

Ohio Hills Health Services offers a sliding fee scale program based on income and accepts Medicaid at both our Barnesville and Freeport locations. So, let us all celebrate Children’s Dental Health Month by ensuring that area children receive the dental care they need.

humbled by everyone's generosity, God Bless You All,

Colts outrun overmatched Huskies in OVAC semi By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

BYESVILLE – Since the OVAC changed the format in which it crowns their Boys Basketball Champion 13 years ago, the Harrison Central Huskies have qualified into the championship bracket on six different occasions. With this year’s semi-final in the books however, the Huskies (10-8) and Head Coach Justin Clifford will have to wait yet another year to pick up their first victory in the popular championship bracket format.

The Eastern District’s top ranked Division II team in the Meadowbrook Colts (16-3) came out ready to play this past Tuesday night in Byesville. The number one seed in the OVAC

4A bracket put together a methodical 20-point lead by halftime, only to cruise past the fourth seeded Huskies 7043 when the clock hit zeros.

A mixture of pure athleticism, speed, and skillful ball movement had the Huskies on the run all game long. The Colts outpaced the visiting Huskies 19-11 in the opening eight minutes of play. Kobe Mitchell connected on two three-pointers in the early moments to keep things relatively stable in the early going. And senior Cruz Capers added a triple in the frame as well, keeping the Huskies in position to possibly equalize matters in the second quarter.

Unfortunately for those Harrison supporters that made the one hour trip to Guernsey County, the following eight

minutes before halftime saw the Colts outman the Huskies 21-9. Overmatched in many ways, the Huskies were staring up the mountain at a 40-20 deficit come the intermission.

The Colts continued to close down passing lanes and force turnovers into the second half, pushing the game into damage control mode for Harrison well before the final horn. With the victory, Meadowbrook will move into the OVAC 4A Championship Game for the fifth consecutive year. If looking for a measuring stick of just how consistent the Colts have been, they will be playing East Liverpool this afternoon for their fifth consecutive OVAC title. The Colts have already dropped the Potters once this season, doing so at the Buckeye Eight Challenge back in December.

The somewhat good news for OVAC 4A teams, is that this year will be Meadowbrook’s last season in the OVAC, as they will move on to the Muskingum Valley League for the 2021 season.

Getting back to the Huskies, they will travel to Martins Ferry this weekend to take on the Purple Riders for the third time this season in the de-facto 4A third place game. It will be a rubber match of the two squads, as they have split the regular season series, each winning on their home court.

Mitchell, who is averaging 30.4 points a night, led all scorers by hitting his average on the spot with 30-points. A

quiet night from the rest of the Huskies resulted in four players; Cale McAfee (5), Cruz Capers (3), Jonathan Vermillion (3) and Jace Madzia (2) rounding out the scoring.

Meadowbrook on the other had four players in double digits, led by star Jon McCall with 15-points.

Jacob Singleton and All-Ohio

gridiron product Addy Black each had 13, and Davis Singleton added 10. All in all, a balanced attack of ten different players scratched the scorebook for Head Coach Scooter Tolzda and the Colts.

In the 13-year history of the OVAC Tournament format, the Huskies have an all-time record of 9-16, which includes

both championship bracket and consolation pool play.

To close out the rest of the year before the postseason starts, the Huskies will go to Indian Creek in a makeup game this coming Monday night. Followed by a trip to East Liverpool Tuesday, and a home date with Garaway Feb. 21 to close out the year.

Harvey Goodman Realtor supports Cancer Crusaders Students becoming CADIZ — Harvey Goodman Realtor recently opened its eighth and newest office in Cadiz, at 120 South Main Street. It is with great pride that Harvey Goodman Realtor and its agents have announced a plan of financial support of the Harrison County Cancer Crusaders from each and every sale from their new Harrison County office.

Harrison County Cancer Crusaders was founded in 2016 after Relay for Life pulled out of Harrison County. Since then they have provided over $60,000 in financial aid to Harrison County cancer patients. The organization works by referral and information about the group’s events can be found on their Facebook page.

Their success is a direct relation to the many businesses and individuals that support their cause. “We are excited to have the support of Harvey Goodman Realtor and look forward to this partnership as we continue to provide aid to those in need” states Executive Director Julie McPeak.

Goodman’s Cadiz team will include many names Cadiz and Harrison County residents already know, Trisha Mamula, David Miller (former manager of the Cadiz Radio Shack), Becky and Mark McNeely, Laney “Open House” Ross, Timothy “Tim” Judkins, Floie Trimmer, Lorrie Raymond, Lyndsay Maynard and Emily Shortall, along with several of the agents you’ve already met that are currently working out of both the Steubenville and St. Clairsville branch offices. Founded in 1956, Harvey Goodman Realtor has been helping people buy and sell homes, land and commercial real estate in the Ohio Valley for 63 years. The company has always been focused on providing unmatched professional real estate services in Harrison and surrounding counties, but now has a local office to provide a more personal experience.

John Sambuco, Broker and Managing Partner of Harvey Goodman shared what he felt separated his company from the

competition. Sambuco stated: “Well, we’d like to think the difference between us and our competitors is significant. One reason that Harvey Goodman Realtor® is the Best Real Estate Company in Cadiz has to be the Free Home Warranty. Sometimes an inspection or a nasty breakdown of a major appliance stops a home seller from selling.

Every home listed by Harvey Goodman Realtor® includes a Free Home Warranty provided by Home Warranty Inc. that covers the seller from many expensive unforeseen breakdowns. This warranty can also be purchased to cover the buyer for 14 months to help avoid unforeseen costly repairs.

Sambuco ended with: “We treat every agent as family. We try hard to support them in their work, do the right things to provide them a path to success. I believe happy agents provide better service. We are actively interviewing those that believe they would be a good fit for our family team. If you’re a

Cadiz area resident and looking to make a career change, give us a call to discuss your future.”

The Goodman Team would like to invite you to stop by their Cadiz office anytime and keep an eye open for their Grand Opening.

They will always have a cup of coffee or a bottle of water for you.

Serving Harrison County, Goodman’s Cadiz office is located 120 South Main Street, and is currently open for business. You can reach one of the Harvey Goodman Realtor team at 740942-3131. Harvey Goodman also has offices in Steubenville, Weirton, Wheeling, Moundsville, Martins Ferry, St. Clairsville, and Barnesville.

There are approximately 65 agents at Harvey Goodman Realtor® working out of its eight Ohio Valley offices, serving Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel and Tyler Counties in West Virginia, and Jefferson, Harrison, Belmont, Guernsey, Noble, Monroe and Washington Counties in Ohio.

Speaker talks about Underground Railroad in Ohio

By ESTHER MCCOY CADIZ - Paul D. Goebbel, Civil War Living History Presenter, traveled on Feb. 12 to Cadiz from Stow to speak about the Underground Railroad in Ohio as Americans celebrate Black History Month throughout February. He spoke from the podium of the Coal Mining auditorium at the Puskarich Public Library. Goebbel was accompanied by his wife, Gaynal, who was attired in the dress of the times with a hoop skirt and a form fitting jacket and lace blouse.

He featured stories about the underground railroad in the four corners and center of the state of Ohio. These were the southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest and the center of the state. It also highlights an Ohio connection to the passage of the 13th amendment to the United States Constitution.

Edwin Stanton, President Abraham Lincoln’s secretary of war, who was from Steubenville, was part of the anti-slavery voice. In central Ohio there was Benjamin Hanby and Goebbel acknowledged that there was an underground railroad in Smithfield, where slaves were hidden until safe getaway could be made.

Paul D. Goebbel,Civil War Living Historian, spoke at the Puskarich Public Library in the event of Black History Month. He was accompanied by his wife, Gaynal Goebbel. The couple traveled to Cadiz from Stow, near Akron.

Goebbel said that he makes between 30 and 40 presentations a

year at many different locations since 2009, traveling from Akron to

go on the assigned speaking engagements.

future entrepreneurs MINGO JUNCTIONSeventh- and eighth-graders at Indian Creek Middle School are gaining business experience through fundraising endeavors as part of the Future Entrepreneurs program.

About 30 students are participating this year—the largest group yet—and are bringing ideas to life to make money for class field trips. The initiative is currently in its sixth year and began through a Community Connections grant written by community member Jeff Greco and Indian Creek Superintendent Dr. T.C. Chappelear. Greco, who serves as pastor of Crossroads Christian Church, first implemented the program to help students at Indian Creek High School raise money for college but is currently utilized at ICMS as a mechanism to finance trips to Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh.

"We have four mentors but let the kids pick the plan," he said.

"This [program] is about six years old and the Community Connections grant was designed

by Ohio to put mentors with students. [Dr. Chappelear] and I wrote the grant together and that's what started the program.

We wanted to help kids live out their potential by surrounding them with mentors who are successful in business."

Greco, Roy Arbogast, Charles Lingerfelt and Mark Prichard meet each Wednesday in the school library to plan projects with the boys and girls. Each group, which ranges from five to eight students, is embarking on different projects with Greco's team selling custom-printed Tshirts, sweatshirts, mugs and bags; Arbogast's group making hand-crafted CREEK tingZ jewelry and pet rocks; Lingerfelt's team peddling hot cocoa, cotton candy and snow cones during lunch; and Prichard's team preparing ads to promote area businesses.

Greco said his team filled orders for Christmas presents and also sell them at games and at local churches, adding that they work well together and enjoy creating something new. Arbogast said his students take orders, make their

products and deliver them to customers the next week, much like an actual business.

"The mentoring program is meant to develop relationships with the kids and training them on basic business tips such as how to market and sell products," Lingerfelt commented, adding that his team has steadily sold their wares at lunchtime.

Meanwhile, Prichard is using his marketing background to help his team promote area establishments. The group developed a survey and questioned more than 500 teens in West Virginia and Ohio about their favorite stomping grounds, while plans are to sell advertising to the top vote-getters in collaboration with WTOV-TV. "We formed a mini advertising agency and created a survey that went out to five different middle schools," Prichard explained.

Sites were selected in the Wheeling-Steubenville area and middle school students answered queries in at least 50 different business categories. Schools ranged from ICMS to Brooke, Bridge Street and St. Clairsville and businesses included eateries and entertainment venues. The goal is to produce advertising packages with WTOV-TV and approach the selected businesses to purchase ads for such promotions as online and through streaming services.

Prichard will utilize his company's services and donate his commission up to $2,400 to the group to defray their trip expenses.

"They are going to learn about communication, research, sales and creative skills," he continued. "I wanted us to do something outside the box."

Several Future Entrepreneurs said they were learning some valuable lessons.

"I like this group because it gives me experience, so when I get older I can get a job," said seventh-grader Knowledge Wright.

It's fun and I learn a lot about business," added eighth-grader Zoli Taylor, who added that it also improves communication skills.

Wintersville Elementary collecting for cancer patients WINTERSVILLE Wintersville Elementary students are helping cancer patients find comfort during treatment by collecting items for the fifth annual Chemo Care Bag project.

Second-grade students are contributing goods while the community is also invited to donate and the items will be given to patients undergoing treatment at the Tony Teramana Cancer Center. The effort is spearheaded by teacher Sarah Hibbits, who is working with fellow teachers Kim Wadas and Kristi Sciarra, and she said it enables students to learn about the power of giving.

"The purpose of this project is to encourage kids to give back to the community. As adults, we want to teach our kids the importance of selflessness, empathy, kindness and compassion," Hibbits commented. "These children are our future leaders and it is important to instill these traits at an early age. The most important thing we can teach our kids is how to love others."

More than 650 chemo care bags have been contributed since the project's inception, in addition to dozens of boxes of extra items plus treats for staff members at the facility. About 202 bags were filled last year with all but two going to the cancer center; however, the remainder were sent to a START mentor and Indian Creek staff member who were also undergoing treatment.

Goods have been collected since the beginning of February and will continue until the end of the month, after which the bags will be assembled and

donated to the facility. Among the items being accepted are individually wrapped snacks, saltines, bottled water, Gatorade, gum, mints, hard candy, Tootsie Pops and DumDums suckers, tuna or chicken lunch packs with crackers, Chapstick, lotion, Biotene or other dry mouth products, wet wipes, tissues, Sea Bond wristbands, reusable plastic cups or water bottles, hats or scarves, blankets, slipper socks, puzzle books and adult coloring books, notebooks, journals, pocket calendars, playing cards, pens and pencils and fun items such as puzzles, card games, Bibles, ear buds or stress balls.

Last year, Wadas and several volunteers also made more than 100 prayer squares that Hibbits had blessed by her church pastor, now Wadas hopes to complete 200 prayer squares so one is available in each bag. She is knitting items and help may be needed, so volunteers are to contact Hibbits if they would like to assist.

Now there's a new addition and organizers are seeking the public's help.

"This year, we have created an Amazon Wish List and we are looking for sponsors," she added. "Each year, we have people who hear about our project and want to help. They may be former Teramana patients who received a bag and want to help us continue to spread some sunshine, former second-graders who participated in our project, friends, family members or school personnel."

She said they may want to help but do not know how, and now they can donate $20 to sponsor a bag. Sponsors can

choose to remain anonymous or can include a card with their donation which will be placed into the bag with a tag indicating the bag was sponsored by that individual.

The bags will be donated to the cancer center in early March.

Hibbits quipped that students enjoy doing the project, even though many may be familiar with the word "cancer" but do not completely understand the disease. However, a few past pupils had close family members or parents who passed away from cancer. She gathers students before beginning the project to discuss exactly what cancer is, how chemotherapy is used to treat it and how the chemo care bags help the patients. Meanwhile, the topic is significant to her because her late mother inspired the project as a patient at the facility. The service learning project was formed to ensure they had the

support they needed through their ordeal.

"We want them to know that even though it may seem like the gray skies may never go away, they are loved. I recently found a quote by Jane Lee Logan that stated, "Hang on when the winds are blowing; Storms are the birthplace of rainbows." This needs to be the mantra of everyone who receives treatment at Teramana.

Our goal is to give them a little bit of sunshine during their storm."

Community members may drop off items to the school office between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays or send them to Wintersville Elementary School, in care of Second Grade, 100 Park Drive, Wintersville, Ohio, 43910. For more information, contact the school at (740) 264-1691 or email sarah.hibbits@iclsd.org.

Empty medicine bottles sent overseas to meet need

By ESTHER MCCOY UNIONPORT – The Eastern Star #360 found they can use those medicine bottles we get with prescriptions by sending them overseas where there is a shortage of these containers.

Betty Hasley, an over 50-year member of the Unionport Eastern Star found out about the need overseas and has been accepting them from many who are saving them for her.

The Mount Moriah Church members turn them in after the label has been peeled off, Smithfield Food Pantry members save them, neighbors bring them over, Smithfield Senior Citizens Club save them and the Piney Fork Presbyterian members collect them.

Mrs. Hasley is very happy about the large amount of bottles but there comes a time when she needs to get them out of her house. She finally had to bring them in for the Eastern Star meeting to be shipped, as there are four huge boxes full of the plastic containers. It is noted that the bottles cannot be used again in the states. They are scarce in the foreign countries.

Another thing that is collected by the group are bottle caps that go to make Buddy Benches for schools and

Four boxes of empty medicine bottles will be sent overseas to be used for medical purposes as there is a scarcity there. Betty Hasley is the big collector and has donations from clubs, churches, and individuals saving them for her. She stresses that the medication label be torn off before handing them over. She is the inspiration for the project.

Eastern area of West Virginia pays a visit around Christmas each year to pick up used stamps that have been cut from envelopes and taken to his

The money goes to an olderliving residence facility, helping to pay for those without sufficient funds.

ICHS creates esports team WINTERSVILLE- Indian Creek High School students are getting their game on by joining the Esports Ohio League.

Interactive media teacher Dave Moffat said the Indian Creek Esports Team began this semester and about 43 students tried out at the high school. The group meets every Wednesday and Thursday from 3-5 p.m. to practice and will eventually play other schools online in such games as “Fortnite,” “Smash Bros.” and “Rocket League.”

“We had 20 kids try out for ‘Smash Bros.’ and created two teams for varsity and junior varsity.

Each one has six players,” he explained. “There is one team with three students for ‘Rocket League’ and we started tryouts for ‘Fortnite’ with 20 students. Now we’re doing fundraising and I’m contacting places to get equipment.”

He said growing interest in Esports spurred the decision to start the team and there is some indication that students will actively participate.

“We’ve already seen positive results that we will have attendance and students are becoming more socially interactive with other students. We meet every Wednesday and Thursday from 35 p.m. and when the season starts at the end of the month it will be longer.”

The group is part of a burgeoning network of high school Esports teams across the country. Friendly competitions will be held to give students an opportunity to be part of a team and compete against other area schools electronically

using analytical and fine motor skills. Moffat anticipates that teams will play most of the schools within the Ohio League online but semifinals will be held at Akron University.

“When I was younger and played videogames, you had to be in the same building. Now you don’t and you can play people all around the world. You can interact and it’s a very diverse group,” Moffat noted.

“You may not have that interaction with other programs.”

There are other pluses to taking part in the Esports leagues and one aspect enables students to pursue scholarships and compete at the collegiate level.

“There are 13 colleges and universities in Ohio that have official Esports programs and it’s growing, plus they offer scholarships for $3,000 to $6,000,” he continued. Such opportunities are available at the likes of Tiffin University, Ashland University, Ohio Northern University and Lourdes University as well as 10 others in Ohio.

Moffat said he has the privilege of working with students on a daily basis, while Esports is just another way he is attempting to create a positive and exciting learning environment that develops fundamental skills that are critical to success in any job field. In addition to Esports, members also perform coding activities.

The team is also seeking sponsors to provide funding support for computer equipment, league fees, game licenses, uniforms and team travel. For more information, contact Moffat at David.moffat@iclsd.org or call the school at (740) 264-1163.
