Identity theft rampant amidst COVID, tax time “I cannot stress enough how important to not give out personal information.”

— HARRISON COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

By JD LONG

Jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HARRISON COUNTY – Identity theft has been a problem around the country for quite some time and it’s certainly no stranger to Harrison County. A Harrison County Sheriff’s Office personnel member (referred to here as PM) spoke this week about what he sees as a big problem, especially with seniors being targeted.

When reviewing the regular sheriff’s reports this week, three cases of identity theft were noticed but one sheriff’s deputy said that was only for one day and there are many more cases being reported.

The county is averaging around two per day but the PM admits not all are legitimate but it does not outweigh the ones that are. He said the perpetrators are mostly from foreign countries that speak little or no English and mainly target the elderly.

“That’s where my concern is,” the PM said. “They’re lonely, they want to talk to somebody and they like to talk on the phone.” He repeated that these people on the scam end are not from Harrison County, Ohio or even the United States, at least for the vast majority of scammers.

He said the two steps local authorities take are contacting the Ohio Attorney General’s office, fraud department and

the Federal Trade Commission. He said there is a whole step process for filing complaints and it is tedious. He added that people can conduct a free credit report and not hurt their credit where they can see if their credit rating has shrunk due to fraud. Also, people are encouraged to check their bank accounts on a regular basis, which can be done online.

The PM did emphasize that just because someone knows your phone number and calls, doesn’t mean they have stolen your identity. What they want during the call is that personal information such as, social security number, credit card information, banking information or anything

personal that could aid in a criminal’s efforts to steal identity.

“I cannot stress enough how important to not give out personal information,” he stated. He also said, which has been stressed over and over is that the Internal Revenue Service does not call so when someone calls and identifies themselves as such, it is a scam in the making. He again emphasized that people should not share any personal information with a stranger who has contacted you “without notice” or “unexpectedly.”

COVID continues downward trend

Hopedale VFD receives donation from UMWA in honor of former mayor HOPEDALE — On Wednesday, the United Mineworkers #1304 made an $800 donation to the Hopedale VFD at the fire hall in memory of Hopedale’s former mayor, Larry Ward Sr. Ward, who passed away in January, was the former UMWA District 6 president and Hopedale mayor and councilman.

UMWA International District 31 Vice President, Rick Altman said, “What we’ve really tried to do, the mineworkers, and the

locals, and Larry Ward who was the District 6 President for many years, were trying to make people aware how critical the EMS units are in this area to protect the lives and the safety of all constituents in the area. It’s not a lot of money . . . it’s our way of saying, really, to everybody how much we truly appreciate how they take care of all our people.”

Hopedale Fire Chief, Mark Marchetta spoke about his desire to create an

ambulance district, and that Ward was instrumental in seeing that come to fruition.

“Larry is a supporter of the community, which includes the fire department, and when we were going for the ambulance district, we were looking for support, and we went to Larry and he said, ‘absolutely.’ Many people saw the video that he made for the ambulance district levy, which was just a small showing of what he would do for the community.”

CADIZ – The COVID numbers being reported each week continue to trend downward as just 21 cases were reported Wednesday from last week. Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome on Wednesday, was pleased with the results and the continued news but reminded everyone that Harrison County, like many others around the state of Ohio, are still in the Alert: Red status.

The Red status is based on cases per 100,000 and the effects of the last few months of 2020 and early January are still being felt. For Harrison County they are sitting at 305.9 cases per 100,000, which is way beyond the sub-100 cases they need to be downgraded. Rhome explained that this is based on a high incidence rate he’s been covering since at least the last several months of 2020.

“If we’re above three hundred we’re well above the one hundred threshold for high incidence,” Rhome stated.

This ranks Harrison at 28th place out of 88 counties in the state, which is fairly high for a small county with a population listed at 15,040, according to the Ohio Department of Health (coronavirus.ohio.gov fact sheet). The case count for Harrison is listed at 46 from Feb. 1 to Feb. 14, which Rhome said is not insignificant.

“So, forty-six here is equivalent to sixteen hundred people in say, Summit County right below us,” he told the board. “It’s not insignificant to have forty-six new cases over the two-week period.”

Harrison County stands at 991 cases with presumed recovered at 893, which is only six more than reported last week. He said there may be one more COVIDrelated fatality but would need more information before confirming that. Active cases stand at 80, which is 15 more than last week.

And speaking of the milestone in approaching 1,000 cases going back to the beginning of the outbreak and the ones who have passed away, were people who were struggling for months before succumbing to the virus.

“Those are all your friends and family and neighbors that we’ve talked to and we’ve had in isolation…”

Rhome touched on the past week’s vaccination efforts where he cited 361 total being vaccinated with their drivethrough clinic. He said that adds up almost perfectly to 240 second doses and 120 first vaccine doses towards the total count.

con someone into thinking they’ve won a prize but will try to get you to purchase something before collecting on that “prize.”

Annualcreditreport.com offers some help, which states on the website: “Authorized by Federal law.”

A Cleveland.com story from last month (Jan. 19) noted that unemployment scams are so

widespread that both Gov. Mike DeWine and wife Fran, as well as Lt. Gov. John Husted were themselves victims. Husted was quoted as saying “so many false claims have been filed that state officials are now checking on every claim to make sure it’s genuine. That, Husted said, often leads to legitimate claims being delayed.”

He quoted a statement from

Ohio Department of Jobs & Family Services spokesman Tom Betti saying some Ohioans are receiving 1099 tax forms from the ODJFS “for jobless benefits dishonestly filed for in their name.”

Identity theft and fraud can be reported on the Federal Trade Commission website (www.ftc.gov) with a section for entering a recovery plan as well.

“It’s not exactly how it went down but that’s a good look, it was over two hundred second doses and well over one hundred first doses,” Rhome said. “Again, we stand up regardless of weather. We have a target particularly with the Pfizer vaccination, the Pfizer product that we have that we can’t ship off that day when we’re dealing with the Pfizer product.”

For first doses involving other groups, there could be delays he said, according to news from the state level. He said that as of now, they have not taken in their “allocation” of

first doses but do expect it with a delay of one or two days.

“That may affect our ability to pre-screen people to their first doses on Friday,” he stated.

He said weather mainly across the Midwest as one reason for the expected delays involving warehouses and leading to the actual shipping.

“I mean, you’re looking at ten days or two weeks really, before you could really count on maximum efficacy to you know, built up in your body,” Rhome said in response to a question on how long before effects of the vaccine take over.

“But we know even the first dose provides some protection from developing symptoms and things like that.”

In looking at the usual fatality ratios, the numbers are not changing much. On the world level (2.2), in the United States (1.7), Pennsylvania (2.5) and West Virginia (1.7), have all remained the same since last week. But in Ohio, that number actually jumped from 1.2 to 1.7 and actually correlates with nearly all counties still in the Alert: Red status.

MWCD reviews end of year financials

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – The year that was wrought with COVID complications was countered with a robust parks and recreation, which came as no surprise to the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District Board of Directors at last month’s meeting. They’d been hearing for months what spectacular returns they had been seeing and the final numbers were no different.

Chief Financial Officer Jim Cugliari addressed the full calendar year but started off with some down numbers in oil and gas where they saw their total “base operating income” of a little more than $6 million, which was down significantly from last year’s number of

around $16 million.

“The majority of that difference is specifically in the Utica shale oil and gas area,” Cugliari explained.

He continued by noting the total operating revenue as 106 percent of budget, though he told the board that that is a “revised budget number” they are still working on. He felt they have recovered well after months of depletion mainly due to the oil and gas industry tanking, for the most part “in the areas that we could have somewhat control over” where he referred to oil and gas and not having any control in that area.

For operating expenses, the year finished around 92 percent of budget, which was 2 percent higher than in 2019. A large number of that 2 percent was in the health insurance area.

“So, overall the staff did a very good job of controlling operating expenses,” Cugliari stated. Also, for capital improvement non-Master Plan area spending was around 80 percent of budget “and seventypercent more than what we did last year.” He said much of the additional work was in water and sewer projects.

For Master Plan numbers Cugliari said they were still on target with a $34 million budget and finished the year at $32.2 million, which he said worked out well at 95 percent of budget.

For the Maintenance assessment fund Cugliari noted a grant that was not captured putting that at just 67 percent of budget for the year. He said that variance was due to the Army Corps of Engineers “not requesting some of their funds

that they had anticipated it would be, and some of the sediment removal or dredging program.”

Cugliari also touched on the positive parks and recreation numbers, which has been the sentiment all year and noted in previous meetings leading to the end of the year. He said Atwood Park had reached their goal of $2.4 million with increased revenues all across the board in that area.

“The best thing is, in my opinion, the net income from… park operations…came in at a four hundred thousand dollar profit or net income over expenses for the year,” Cugliari explained. He said that was the first time, at least in the recent past, where they surpassed the “breakeven point” and were profitable.

“That’s taking into account our park overhead and other overhead…” Cugliari said, adding that it comes to a $1 million turnaround after a $600,000 loss last year. Also, for the marina’s net income analysis they saw $300,000 to the positive when it came to just operational net income.

“So, when you go across the board to our recreational facilities, it was an exceptional year,” Cugliari told the board.

Board Member Gordon Maupin did question the lease part of the marinas general revenue stating it, “seem to be not quite as robust as some of the other marinas.”

Cugliari stated that the lease agreement for their marinas had been changed approximately two to three years ago and stopped reporting receipts by

category. They instead went with an annual “lease-rate” and “rental rate,” which he said is “pretty much a cost of living number.”

“So you’ll see a steady increase that is not directly related to what their revenue production is…” Cugliari explained. He added that they did see a little increase at Leesville but the two marinas at Atwood along with Charles Mill and Pleasant Hill saw “very good years also.”

“Well done by all,” Maupin said.

On the payment of bills, Cugliari said for the final month of 2020, expenditures came to a little more than $4.3 million, which was much less than the approximately $7 (just short of ) last year. He said the difference was due to some of the construction projects.

HC Hospital comes through for Tri-County Help Center

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison Community Hospital (HCH) has come through once again with a table full of donations supplied by numerous employees. The recipient of those donations is the TriCounty Help Center and they were greatly appreciative.

Daneesa Stoltey, Harrison County Legal Advocate, who was present released a statement thanking HCH for their efforts.

Also present for HCH were Pam Parrish (social worker) and Leisha Trigg (PPD manager) to express how proud they were of the hospital employees’ generosity.

“A huge thank you to the staff of Harrison Community Hospital for their donation to Tri-County Help Center! We are a non-profit agency that relies heavily on grant funding and private donations such as this, for us to continue to provide the services we do to victims in

Belmont, Harrison and Monroe counties,” Stoltey’s statement reads.

“In 2020, TCHC provided 859 nights of safe shelter to victims who often enter shelter with nothing but the clothes on their back. This pandemic has put a hindrance on our ability to access donations and resources to help the victims and families we serve. Donations such as this and gas cards or grocery gift cards are vital to a survivor’s

CADIZ – The Harrison County Republican Executive Committee (HCREC) held a special meeting last Saturday to re-vote on a replacement for Marjorie Findling’s seat on the Board of Elections (BOE). Two weeks prior, the central committee along with the executive committee voted after two ties with Darren Heavlin coming out on top. Saturday, Heavlin won again with the vote being 6-5, over former county prosecutor Owen Beetham.

There were no votes for Dave Kinney this time but the order of finish was the same.

Chairman of the Harrison County Republican Party John Jones began with an explanation of the purpose for the special meeting, which was executive only. He told members of the Republican executive committee that the state was questioning the way they had voted in that first meeting two weeks ago.

“ORP (Ohio Republican Party) isn’t questioning it,”

Jones began. “[The] Secretary of State’s office didn’t really have a question…” and that they had received the committee’s papers “and everything was fine.”

“I don’t know if it’s the way they read it or not, but when I read what the Secretary of State sent to the Board of Elections, here’s what it said.” Jones went on to cite a memo that, according to Press Secretary of the Ohio Board of Elections Maggie Sheehan, was sent to all boards of elections and not specifically meant for the local BOE. “The executive committee is to vote on that appointment and send it to the secretary of state, which we did,” Jones said referring to the next page but nowhere in that memo does it say that specifically. It does state “boards must request that each executive committee submit its recommendation to the Secretary of State’s Office…no later than February 16, 2021.”

Jones said they did that after stating the SOS “didn’t like the way we did it” and sent the

paperwork back requesting HCREC’s “executive board” make the recommendation and send it in again.

In response to some of the criticism in the way the first meeting was conducted Jones pointed out the rule he was following, which is the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) (3501.07 at the bottom of the memo) where it explains when a meeting to replace a board member could be held, which is “not more than sixty nor less than fifteen days before the expiration date of the term of office of a member of the board of elections…”

There are other stipulations but none in that particular code deals with proxy voting, which according to the ORC (3599.35) is illegal and a misdemeanor.

The Board of Elections had until Feb. 13 as a deadline for appointing a new member, hence the special meeting held last Saturday.

needs.

“We also have a 24-hour number. Anyone in need can call us 24-hours at 740-6955441 to speak to an advocate for help. We also offer counseling for anyone with a mental health need, not just victims.”

Next up for HCH is a donation campaign for the Harrison County Dog Pound, which Parrish and Trigg said was coming for the month of March.

he held several positions, had perfect attendance for 75 years and enjoyed cooking sausages for the Lion’s Club’s breakfasts. He was an avid gardener and was quite proud of his tomatoes. He farmed and raised cattle well into his 90’s. He was active in the Scott United Methodist Church as well as several civic organizations such as the American Legion.

He was recognized for his civic service by being chosen as the “Citizen of the Year” and a WTOV “Shining Star” and was the recipient of numerous civic awards and recognitions.

He is survived by his son, John O. Tabacchi, his granddaughters Sara Tabacchi Hoff (Corey) of Scottsdale, Arizona and Amelia Grace Ryan (Todd), Violetta and Gemma of Portland, Oregon.

John was a humble, generous, loving, husband, father, grandfather and friend. His good deeds were many and were a product of his Christian faith and commitment to bettering the community. John will be missed, but his love, character and optimism always will be remembered.

A private service will be held at the convenience of the family due to the Covid Pandemic. Interment will be at Longview Cemetery, New Athens, Ohio. A memorial service will be held at a later date to celebrate his life.

The family is being assisted by Clark-Kirkland-Barr Funeral Home, Cadiz, Ohio.

SMITHFIELD

BY ESTHER MCCOY As I started this column on Monday evening, the picture window in the living room was turning into a beautiful design of ice. It looked even better when a car passed and the light

shone into the house.in many shapes. It was not so pretty when Lamont had to go out and beat huge icicles from the edge of the house for fear someone would get hurt. And there could be no sledding on this surface of ice. You could not guide the sled. And how did your Monday start?

I like the story Linda Griffith had on Facebook about the wedding day that she and her husband-to-be encountered. It was a snowy day just like that this Feb. 14 when their son, Steve's 42 cows decided to slip out the door that was safe to wander down despite a slight glaze of ice from the milking barn. This 2020-day, saw Linda trying to round up the cows and drive them back into the barn with her car. Fifty-one years ago, her husband-to-be had to drive his cows in before he could make it to his own wedding. It seems that what goes around comes back around, doesn't it? ."I miss you and you are still my Valentine," she wrote.

We have had some long established anniversaries. Tom and Mary Jean Price Gibbons were married 60 years on Valentine's Day. Shirley Fisher Griesbaum, class of 1951, wrote a letter in 2020 to tell that she had been unaware that Richard McElroy had passed away when she wrote to order a copy of "Spartan of the Ohio Valley," about Mrs. Foster a SHS teacher for many years.. He received her letter at an earlier time and said that he looked Shirley up in the yearbook to familiarize himself with her. Since death crossed the mail, she had received a very kind but sad reply from Pam McElroy telling of his death in late January.

Merril Welday Fisher wrote to say that she enjoyed reading the Smithfield Newsletter. "I would love to hear from anyone who might remember me," she wrote. So much for Smithfield High School .It is gone but not forgotten.

Beverly Francisco Balash received a great Christmas gift from her daughter, Michelle, a two-week trip to Italy for her and younger sister, Linda. Bev's family lived across the street from us and we were all a happy gang of youngsters in our younger years.. There was no fighting, well maybe a bit but mostly we all got along. Those truly were the happy days.

My neice, Nola Toth, will be celebrating a birthday on Feb. 24 I'm not sure if it is 10 or 11years. My brother Don would have been 82 on Feb. 27. He passed away on Dec. 23 and is sadly missed.

COVID-19 Update: Vaccine Maintenance Program, Nursing Home Visitation, Phase 1B Medical Conditions (COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted today provided the following updates on Ohio's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

WEATHER DELAYS As a result of continued bad weather, vaccine shipments in Ohio and across the country continue to be delayed. Ohioans with vaccine appointments this week should confirm that their appointment has not been canceled before leaving home.

Because of these weather delays, it is expected that providers will give vaccinations over the weekend as shipments arrive.

VACCINE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM This morning, Ohio launched its COVID-19 Vaccine Maintenance Program for nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Each month, facilities can host a vaccine clinic for residents and staff if there is the need for vaccinations. The program ensures that vaccinations in long-term care facilities continue for new residents and staff or current residents and staff who have now decided to be vaccinated.

NURSING

HOME

VISITATION Governor DeWine announced that he has assembled a team of doctors and nurses to develop a plan for safe nursing home visitation. Members of the team are experts in infectious disease control, skilled nursing, and other types of long-term care settings.

Ohio's existing visitation order does allow compassionate care visits.

Examples of compassionate care situations could include: - A resident who was living with their family before recently being admitted to a home, is struggling with the change in environment and lack of physical family support.

- A resident who needs cueing and encouragement with eating or drinking, previously provided by family or caregiver(s), is experiencing weight loss or dehydration.

- A resident, who used to talk and interact with others, is experiencing emotional distress, seldom speaking, or crying more frequently.

The Office of the State LongTerm Care Ombudsman is available to assist citizens with questions about compassionate care visits. The office can be reached at OhioOmbudsman@age.ohio.go v or 1-800-282-1206.

PHASE 1B MEDICAL CONDITIONS This week, vaccine eligibility opened up to Ohioans born with the medical conditions outlined below, or those who were diagnosed in early childhood whose conditions continued into adulthood.

Following anecdotal reports of individuals with these conditions being denied vaccination appointments, particularly those with cystic fibrosis, Governor DeWine stressed that vaccine providers should vaccinate those of any age with any of the following conditions.

VACCINE DATA COLLECTION Governor DeWine again asked vaccine providers to collect and report accurate and complete data on vaccine administrations including race, ethnicity, age, and category of eligibility. This information is critical to understanding uptake rates among specific communities or occupations and also helps inform future policy and allocation decisions. The Ohio Department of Health will continue to reach out to all providers to make sure this critical information is being entered into the system.

RICHLAND COUNTY CLINIC Today Lt. Governor Jon Husted traveled to Richland Public Health (RPH) in Mansfield to tour their vaccine clinic and thank the staff and healthcare providers for their efforts to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine. Most of the 100 Ohioans being vaccinated during the visit today were receiving their second dose.

To date, RPH has vaccinated 2,705 individuals (948 fully vaccinated) at their clinic that runs typically Monday-Friday.

During the press conference, Lt. Governor Husted had the opportunity to look on as two Richland County residents received their shot: Ms. Doris Rheinbolt received her second dose and Mansfield Mayor Tim Theaker received his first dose, respectively.

CURRENT CASE DATA In total, there are 947,389 confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 reported in Ohio and 16,611 confirmed and probable COVID-19 deaths. A total of 49,061 people have been hospitalized throughout the pandemic, including 7,002 admissions to intensive care units. In-depth data can be accessed by visiting coronavirus.ohio.gov.

Good News

By Pastor Ken Staley:

Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches

How to be Blessed Numerous times in the Gospels Jesus is said to have compassion on the multitudes. Not surprising, this is actually why He came.

Do you and I see the multitudes like Jesus did or are they just people that sometimes get in our way.

In Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount scripture says that Jesus saw the multitude and it was then that He went up the mountain to talk to His disciples. We should pay close attention here because Jesus is about to tell us the prime directive from heaven of how He wants us to live and how to be blessed according to His will.

Every verse of what is known as the Beatitudes begins with the word, Blessed.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” That doesn’t mean flat broke in your bank account, it means those who know that they have no righteousness of their own to approach God. When we realize we need a savior, Jesus, the kingdom of heaven becomes our home.

When Jesus said, “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted” He wasn’t talking about people who have had tragedy in their life, He was talking about those who mourn over their own sinful state and that they will be comforted with salvation from on high through the cross. This is the antithesis of the mantra of pop psychology that proclaims, “I’m ok, you’re ok.” Scripture says otherwise.

Then comes a very misunderstood verse, “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit

the earth.” Meek does not mean weak. In the day that this verse was written meekness meant “selfcontrolled, and humble.” Meek people are those who break their own will, like one breaks a horse, to stand up for God’s will.

Jesus said we are blessed when we hunger and thirst for righteousness. Our bodies hunger and thirst for a lot of different things in this life but when our spirit’s hunger is stronger than our body’s, it’s then that we will be truly satisfied.

Now, how’s your mercy tank? Is it on full or empty? “Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy”. We reap what we sow. If we want mercy, we have to give it.

Jesus goes on to say that the blessed life is when we become pure in heart and are known as peacemakers.

It’s easy to be a troublemaker but as followers of Jesus we are called to be peacemakers and sometimes that means giving up our own rights. It also means unashamedly proclaiming that God has made peace with the world through the cross of Jesus.

Finally, Jesus said “Blessed are you when you are persecuted and insulted for righteousness sake… great is your reward in heaven.

There is a great day of rewards coming for the faithful. The verses in Matt.5:1-12 comprise the blessed life. It’s sure not society’s version of being blessed but as the apostle Paul would later say, “the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.”

Those Lady Huskies were Tory Thompson 559 (152, 215 and 192); Alena Runevich 540 (176, 181 and 183); Cami Basich 480 (173, 146 and 161); Lauren Best 456 (122, 144 and 190); Alexis Lislick 259 (0, 136 and 123) and Karlea Thompson 114.

Lady Huskies score 46-39 win in Steubenville

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

STEUBENVILLE - On Thursday night in Steubenville, the Lady Huskies produced a 46 - 39 win during a hard-fought somatic encounter over the Lady Big Reds.

While arms and bodies flew throughout the contest, the affect would ultimately throw the Huskies temporarily off their game. To maintain their current winning streak the Huskies soon realized that getting by Steubenville would require a little attitude adjustment, and a lot of a

warrior’s mentality.

With fouls being exchanged like business cards at a convention, the road to another consecutive win for the Huskies, kept getting rougher. The core of the contest was played in the second half, and the Big Reds who were four points short at the half, dialed-up more aggressive means to carve nine Husky miscues.

Those Husky turnovers allowed Steubenville to make the contest a start-over, as the 24-minute mark was tallied in the books at 30 - 30 all. A new game going into the fourth quarter became interesting, as the Big Reds moved out in front

by two. They would go on to repeat their lead total at just over four minutes remaining by a score of 36 - 34, and Harrison would reply with a 40 - 37, as the clock showed just over two minutes remaining. They would maintain a marginal lead through the finish.

McKayla Dunkle completed the game with a double-double that contained 19 points and 13 rebounds. The double-double would be Dunkle’s 10th consecutive bench marking performance of the season.

MacKenzie Harbold took control of the Husky game during the first 16 minutes with an eight points performance.

CADIZ – The winter weather may have altered the schedule this past week, but it certainly didn’t dull the mood inside the Harrison Central basketball program.

The Huskies completed a Columbiana County sweep over the last seven days. First, it was a 7561 victory over the Beaver Local Beavers in the de-facto third place game of the Buckeye Eight Athletic League held in Morristown last Saturday. The Huskies then followed that up with a 66-60 home triumph over the Buckeye Eight North Division champion East Liverpool Potters. Two solid opponents, two solid victories.

However, that’s not the only reason for Harrison fans to be smiling. In the course of dropping 40-points on the Potters this past Wednesday, senior guard Kobe Mitchell broke yet another record, and this one had been standing for 27 years! Mitchell surpassed Amie Marks (Jewett-Scio class of 1994) in the All-Time Harrison County Basketball scoring books. Marks held the record down as the County’s career scoring leader with a total of 2,319 tallies before Mitchell’s decorated prep run came along. The Huskies doit-all standout now sits at 2,334 career points. Good enough to land him inside Ohio’s top 25 of all-time scorers. The most exciting storyline may be that the Huskies have yet to finish their regular season schedule, and they still have the tournament looming, so that means Mitchell’s ceiling on Ohio’s most illustrious basketball list has yet to be established. Of note, Bob Huggins of Conotton Valley/Gnadenhutten sits at 12th all-time with 2,438 points. So for the readers interested in watching more than final scores, there will be plenty of local sports history to pay attention to down the stretch.

Mitchell’s 40 against East Liverpool was no doubt impressive, but just as striking was his team’s ability to fight off adversity in the second half. The Huskies (13-7)

Harrison center Jonathan Vermillion powers to the rim during last weekend’s victory over Beaver Local.

trailed by double digits in the third quarter, but they didn’t pack it in against the favored Potters. The victory against East Liverpool means the Huskies will finish the regular season having dropped all three of the Buckeye 8’s mainstays (previous wins against Union Local and St. Clairsville).

Freshman Hayden Cassidy rattled home 10-marks to help push the Huskies past the Potters. When Mitchell’s hand cooled off, Cassidy was there with two big outside shots to keep the Huskies footing steady on the comeback trail.

Jonathan Vermillion also played a worthy supporting role, finishing with seven in the Huskies final home regular season game.

Union Local High School hosted the Buckeye Championship crossover event last weekend, and while the Huskies didn’t tip off in the elusive title game, they did take advantage of their opportunity to bring home the league’s unofficial bronze honors. Much like he has been in nearly every game for the past two seasons, Mitchell was once again the game-high performer against the Beavers.

If asked, Head Coach Justin Clifford would probably say it wasn’t the prettiest first half of basketball, but his squad rallied from a 31-25 deficit at

the intermission to handle the Beaver Local outfit in the final two quarters. Mitchell netted 20 of his 29-points in the second half, forcing the Beavers into an uncomfortable pace they couldn’t climb out of.

As a team, the Huskies outscored the Beavers 50-30 after the break. Both teams found a living outside the arc, with the Huskies draining eight treys, to the Beavers seven. Outside of Mitchell’s effort, it was a balanced scoring attack for Harrison, led by none other than the youngster in Cassidy. The freshman connected on three triples on his way to a 15point afternoon. Vermillion also left his mark, scratching the scorebook for 14. Senior Sam Santille was productive on the perimeter, hitting two triples while adding a bucket inside to finish with eight.

Cabot Arbaugh (5), Skylar Mazeroski (2) and Jace Madzia (2) rounded out the scoring to give the Huskies seven players in the scoring column.

Two formidable road matchups remain for Harrison (Garaway, Monroe Central) on the regular season slate that will wrap up this weekend.

Eastern District Tournament play opens up this coming Tuesday, as the 6th seeded Huskies will play host to the 12 seed Buckeye Trail Warriors.

Deersville Community Players featured on new Cause Connector giving site The Deersville Community Players are among the first organizations to be featured on the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio’s new Cause Connector giving site.

Cause Connector is a charitable matchmaking site, created to help more donors support local nonprofit projects in Appalachian Ohio. On Cause Connector, donors can easily search for projects serving their local community across the areas of arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environmental stewardship, and

health and human services.

The Deersville Community Players work is being highlighted on Cause Connector.

Should The Deersville Community Players receive funding on the site, they will be able to free up funds within their general budget to pay overhead and operating expenses for their small community’s historic theater.

The operating budget has been greatly reduced due to the 2020 pandemic that forced the cancellation of the entire theater season. It appears likely the 2021 summer season is also

jeopardized and the stage may again remain dark. We are fortunate to have a dedicated group of volunteers who work diligently to fund our programming and maintain our historic theater but without revenue gained from show sponsors, advertisers and ticket sales our efforts will fall short of what is required to keep our theater thriving.

Those who would like to play a part in supporting our mission to provide quality live theater to residents of Harrison County and the Tappan Lake area can visit www.CauseConnector.org

Senior citizens have been hit hard by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

or mail checks to Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, PO Box 456 Nelsonville, OH 45764 to make a gift.

Through Cause Connector, donors’ gifts will combine to fund projects across the region while also making investments in future initiatives.

Our region of Appalachian Ohio has access to fewer grant and scholarship dollars per capita. This “philanthropy gap” means the region’s nonprofits, schools, community organizations, and students have less support to meet pressing needs and pursue opportunities that can make a tremendous difference.

Cause Connector is focused on addressing the philanthropy gap by helping donors find projects that need their support today while also investing in the future of our communities. A portion of each gift given goes to FAO’s I’m a Child of Appalachia® Fund to support future projects. “ We created Cause Connector to connect donors who want to make a difference with investment-ready projects in our local communities,” said Cara Dingus Brook, FAO’s president and CEO. “Our region is full of leaders with innovative solutions and ideas for helping others, and Cause Connector is a new technology designed to support their success. ” The Deersville Community Players are one of the first organizations selected to have a project featured on the new Cause Connector site. Projects have until April 9 to receive funding and make their projects possible. Gifts of all sizes are welcome at www.CauseConnector.org .

Modified plans eyed for Camp Muskingum ADENA - Plans are being modified for the annual trek to Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum and even more Buckeye Local students can participate.

Buckeye West Elementary Principal Jim Rocchi, a school camp representative, said the coronavirus pandemic halted last year’s event and changed the way this year’s activities will be conducted. A daylong event is being scheduled instead of the usual overnight residential camp so current sixth- and seventh-graders have an opportunity to attend and enjoy Nature’s Classroom in a safe environment. Camp Muskingum is located in Carrollton and organizers said dates are being eyed for this spring, but events will run between 9 a.m.-7 p.m.

“The sixth grade is going on one day and we are also sending the seventh grade on a separate day since they did not get to go last year,” said Rocchi, adding that a total of 215 Buckeye Local Jr. High and elementary students are expected to attend.

He is coordinating local efforts with Buckeye North Principal Susan Nolan, Buckeye South

Principal Julie Packer and BLJHS Principal Jason Kovalski and said a candy bar fundraiser will be held to defray costs for the trip. Buckeye Local has been part of Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum for at least a decade and dates this year are being eyed for April and May. According to organizers, all programming will take place outside and students will be with their group and one instructor all day. The itinerary includes a day hike featuring creek exploration, geology lessons, tree identification and animal adaptations, as well as a sack lunch provided by the camp, classes, group games and a campfire.

The groups are created by the school coordinators and protocols will be enforced, such as social distancing, staggered meal times and usage of masks except when eating. The participating school will also select two classes that all students will take part in and programming sessions can be followed up with a virtual visit from camp instructors. Videos will be created and an instructor available to answer students’ questions.

How to orepare your home for any emergency (StatePoint) While no one wants to dwell on worst-case scenarios, the last year has in many ways illustrated that there are no certainties in life.

Preparing your home to handle a wide range of emergency scenarios will offer you peace of mind now and keep your family safe in the future.

To get prepped, start with the essentials. With sufficient fuel, water, food and other necessities, you can ride out potential emergency scenarios.

Here’s how to collect and store these items safely and securely: Water The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends storing at least one gallon of water per person per day for 14 days so that in the event of an emergency that affects water supply, you’ll have enough for both drinking and sanitation.

When it comes to long-term storage though, standard plastic bottles are not ideal as they degrade over time, compromising water quality and safety. Instead, consider taking a cue from the military. Standard issue to U.S. and Canadian Armed Forces, Scepter Military Water Cans hold 5 gallons and are made from rugged, high-density polyethylene. BPA-free, they keep chemicals, odors and tastes out of your water; corrosion- and fungus-resistant, water also stays clean and safe.

And because they are virtually indestructible and can withstand extreme weather conditions, they can pull double-duty and come with you on camping trips, sports expeditions and other adventures. Millions of these containers have been used around the world by U.S. Armed Forces and are now available to consumers, making them a must-have for any emergency supply kit.

Fuel Homeowners should have a fresh supply of gasoline, diesel and kerosene so they can operate

generators, chainsaws and other tools often needed during and after emergencies. Fuel containers should be stored in secure, dry locations away from heat sources, pets and easy access to children. You should also be sure to select containers that exceed ASTM and CPSC minimum standards, such as the SmartControl fuel containers from Scepter, available in 1-, 2and 5-gallon sizes. These high-density polyethylene containers feature an innovative spout design that helps save fuel when it’s needed most by eliminating messy spills. For highcapacity needs, the 14-gallon wheeled Scepter Duramax offers a safe and convenient refueling choice.

Food The CDC recommends storing at least a threeday supply of food for emergency scenarios. Be sure these are items with a very long shelf life that don’t require refrigeration or cooking. They should also meet the dietary needs of all household members. Periodically check your supply to ensure expiration dates have not passed and refresh items as needed. To avoid spoilage and odors, store food in airtight containers away from petroleum products and heat.

Of course, other important essentials should also be in your emergency kit, such as batteries, flashlights, first aid supplies and prescription medications. For a comprehensive emergency supply list, visit www.ready.gov.

Don’t wait until there’s a problem to get your ducks in a row. By that time it’s often too late, with essentials gone from store shelves. Preparing your home today can offer you peace of mind now, and comfort and safety in an emergency.
