CADIZ – It has been just a little more than three years since Wheeling Hospital (WH) acquired Harrison Community Hospital (HCH) but now the local hospital will be falling under

a new agreement, an acquisition by West Virginia University.

Tony Martinelli, senior administrator and assistant vice president of HCH will be taking over WVU Medicine Reynolds Memorial Hospital in Glen Dale while current Barnesville CEO of that hospital, Dave Phillips, will be

taking over at HCH while maintaining his duties in Barnesville as well. CEO of WH, Doug Harrison, will remain in his current position.

“Over the last year and a half West Virginia University health system has entered into a management agreement with Wheeling Hospital, which also includes Harrison (Community) Hospital,” Harrison Said. “So, WVU health system has been managing both Wheeling and Harrison for the past year and a half under a management agreement.”

Harrison said on April 1 WVU will have negotiated the “acquisition” of Harrison, Wheeling, and Barnesville hospitals where all three will join

WVU’s health system but Harrison emphasized that it is not a purchase of HCH. “The technical term is we’re entering into a long-term lease agreement with the diocese of Wheeling, West Virginia…” Harrison explained. He continued by stating, at least for Wheeling, “we needed a viable longterm partner” for ensuring success for the future. He said independent hospitals are having trouble staying afloat calling it “difficult” in today’s environment. He said more of the smaller hospitals are joining forces with the larger ones for recruiting in the workforce, as well as financial stability.

Phillips stated on behalf of Barnesville

Hospital that they entered into an agreement with WVU Medicine the same time WVU partnered up with the others back in 2017. He also said they had been evaluating strategy concerning their future and echoed Harrison’s thoughts on the difficulty of independent hospitals surviving without being a part of a larger health system. And being a part of a health system allows for “access to resources and information technology and other programming that is available on a much larger scale within a system model.”

As for benefits for HCH, Harrison

Two arrested in Tractor Supply robbery

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – A robbery that occurred at the Cadiz Tractor Supply early Monday morning around 1:50 a.m. resulted in the arrests of two of the three suspects.

Video surveillance exposed the three suspects backing a U-Haul trailer into the area where 4-wheelers had been chained together. Once broken the chain triggered an alarm alerting a security company, which in turn alerted the sheriff’s office.

Cadiz Police Chief Ryan McCann stated that a manager from Tractor Supply arrived on scene to confirm that one small ATV or, Go Kart had been missing.

McCann released the names of the two apprehended suspects later in the week, which was revealed to be a Brandon Sine, 36, of Martins Ferry, and Courtney Jenkins, 24, of Delray, West Virginia. Cadiz Police said Jenkins had very little criminal record but did have an active warrant on her for Summit County.

Cadiz Police were on the scene just minutes after the suspects pulled away. After a BOLO (Be On the Lookout) message was sent to all surrounding counties, St. Clairsville Police captured two of the suspects on Ohio 40 within two hours of the alleged crime.

One male suspect remains at large. Both Sine and Jenkins are due back in court for a preliminary hearing on March 3. Both have already appeared for their arraignments and charged with theft, a felony of the fifth degree. Jenkins was released on her own recognizance. Her criminal history was said to be very light with Sine’s having other thefts as a part of his past record.

Cadiz Library renovations nearing completion

CADIZ – It’s been a long haul for the Cadiz Puskarich Library since renovations began at the start of last summer. COVID restrictions and interference took its toll but what the community will find is a fabulous new facility to enjoy. And one of those benefits is a new sound studio where anyone can sit down in a room and make podcasts, music and more.

Director Sandi Thompson is excited while giving a pre-grand opening tour showing a new front entrance and a rearranged main floor. But along with all that excitement is the

new recording studio that was installed by award winning musician and producer Jamie Peck, of Jamie Peck Productions in Wheeling.

Peck, an adjunct professor at West Liberty University, was putting the finishing touches on the system Tuesday and said it was working like a charm. Nominated twice for an Emmy, he won for a PBS production of “Pittsburgh from the Air.” “Individuals from home who may not have a creative outlet from home,” Thompson explained regarding the opportunities the recording studio will offer. She said it’s been working out very well and the public has been cooperating with the minimal access they have on the ground floor at this time.

Thompson said HBM Architects out of Cleveland have been doing the job on the renovations and donations from Dr. Scott Pendleton, Grae-Con Construction, Tony’s Treasures and the Puskarich Library Endowment Fund helped make it possible.

She said all the things that the public need to take care of can be done at the library such as, tax returns, unemployment needs, job searches and general email usage.

“We’ve tried to keep all of our services going while renovations is going on,” Thompson said. Plans for a grand opening are expected to be held on April 7, which is the week of National Library Week.

called Phillips a “top notch CEO” as one of those benefits.

He said Phillips understands critical access hospitals and what it takes to run that type of facility. He spoke of WH’s managing of HCH as their first foray into this type of deal but stated it wasn’t that great of a “fit” considering it was across state lines into Ohio.

“It served a need [and] we built a lot of strong relationships with our medical staffs and moving staffing resources between Wheeling and Harrison,” Harrison explained. He said there is now a “strengthening” of the Ohio facilities they are involved with.

“And really kind of focusing in on what it means to provide health care in the state of Ohio for a West Virginia based health care system,” Harrison added.

He said what should be seen now is administrative overhead and sharing in physician resources between Barnesville and Harrison, as well.

“I think this will be a wonderful move on behalf of the system but also for Harrison and Barnesville,” he stated. Regarding emergency services Phillips said there will be no differences or reduction in services provided at Harrison due to the lease agreement.

“Barnesville and Harrison will continue to work very closely with Wheeling as we’ll all be under the WVU Health System umbrella,” he said. “They won’t see any changes that will be reduction in services and what they will see as we go forward, is looking to bring more services to Harrison Community Hospital.”

Harrison said this agreement would continue to see HCH strengthened and an asset to the surrounding community.

He noted the tiered structure it is set up to be with Barnesville and HCH and larger, or more complicated cases being handed off to WH and from there, to Ruby Memorial in Morgantown if need be.

“So it keeps it within a system functionality, which has been proven…if you keep patients within a system structure, it starts to reduce the cost of care [and] quality outcomes improve because you get a more coordinated care approach. So that’s the long term goal with what we’re setting up here,” Harrison explained.

Phillips wanted to emphasize that, though some may be concerned that the agreement is not “Ohio based,” he noted that, “care and medical care doesn’t happen inside state lines.” The important thing is partnering with the best resources and level of care that certain entities can provide.

Murder suspect may see case extended, Tharp pleads guilty

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Larry Smith, who is a suspect in the murder of Lorie Storie early last year, was in court via videoconference on Tuesday. Represented by attorney Benjamin Whitacre, the court was told that additional discovery had just been handed over and it would take time for Whitacre to review all the material.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey reminded all parties of the April 26 jury trial that was set but was open to pushing that back again, if counsel so requested, which Whitacre said he would do.

Hervey ran through the various deadlines such as, motions filed (March 9) and a hearing on motions scheduled for March 23. A deadline for any plea offer was announced as March 16.

“He received discovery from my office…we did provide additional discovery, which just came to light,” Prosecutor Lauren Knight told the court adding that more discovery would be mailed later in the day. She acknowledged that Whitacre would need more

time to review all the evidence and his wish to push the dates of the case further out.

“I would ask for a continuance again, to get through the additional discovery that I’ve got…” Whitacre confirmed referring to preparing additional motions as well as the additional time to confer with his client. He said he would sign a waiver of a speedy trial when asked by Hervey, considering the mounting continuances.

Hervey told Whitaker in acknowledging all the bumps in the road, which include COVID and a change in prosecutors, he was comfortable with the April trial date but wanted to make sure that the right of speedy trial was “not going to be an issue.”

Whitacre said he expected to file a motion to continue the following week where Hervey said he would consider it. Most of the session was done out of the company of Smith who later joined the proceedings where Hervey repeated his earlier statements. Smith’s charge is an unclassified felony and is being held on a bond of $2 million.

He also faces a charge of tampering with evidence (F3) and abuse of a corpse (M2).

Samuel Farnsworth, also

facing the same charges minus the tampering with evidence was scheduled to appear but did not, as it was noted there was no progress in the case and nothing to put on the record.

Farnsworth is also being held on a $2 million bond.

Josh Tharp, facing a slew of charges including ones from 2020 for burglary, a felony of the second degree and voyeurism, a misdemeanor of the third degree, were dropped.

Tharp did plead guilty to 2021

charges of vandalism, (F5), assault (F4) and escape, which is a felony of the second degree for which he was handed five years imprisonment. Other assault charges and one for intimidation were also dismissed.

Tharp received 10 months for the vandalism charge and 12 months for assault where the sentence is to run concurrently meaning he will spend at least five years in prison.

Potential business coming to Lincoln Ave.

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last Thursday, Cadiz council heard that a possible business would be coming to the vacated space near the Tractor Supply Company, though many logistical plans need to be covered before that happens.

Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski said the village of Cadiz and the Cadiz Community Improvement Corporation are both working with a developer for the purposes of bringing in a “retail store.” He said a recent conference with all three parties involved discussed a preliminary

plan for the site.

Some changes were being made to the preliminary plans by the developer and then the final plans would be handed over to CT Consultants for review.

“It looks like a nice project there for a retail store to take up that space,” Andrzejewski told council, though he stopped short of describing what kind that would be.

Andrzejewski also announced the job posting for the water plant operator III position. The two sites it’s listed on are: Ohio City Managers Association (OCMA) and the Ohio Municipal League (OML). He said the ads would be no cost to

A publication Andrzejewski found would be a pay-for site where he said for $185 they could post on a publication for water and sewer plants stating he wanted to “extend the search out farther.” Council approved the move.

He also reminded council that rescheduled dates for the upcoming sewer line replacement projects had been prepared and sent up to the EPA. “This is a result of our last conference call and the EPA’s request for an updated schedule,” Andrzejewski explained.

Council Member John Vermillion reported on the busy work the street department had been through during the recent snow falls. He also said the renovations on the fire department break room is looking good.

Mayor John Migliore read a letter sent in from resident Pam Gibson thanking the village for the snow removal on the paths and roads in the park. She said it was a thank you that was “long overdue.” Park Manager Scott Porter also gave thanks to the street department for their help in pitching in.

Migliore said he was waiting on feedback from the prosecuting attorney’s office after they requested copies of easements.

He added that once the weather breaks the line in question

would be scoped out to see if there were any breaks, which would be at no cost to the village, as he was told by E.L. Robinson’s Bob Allen.

Additional amounts of dirt had been placed on top of ground covering existing sewer lines and

that scoping would check to see if there was any damage to the lines with the extra weight.

Vermillion’s motion to sign a contract with Zambelli fireworks was approved by council. Treasurer Amy Ossman called it an addendum.

Commissioners approve two Job & Family Service contracts

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Wednesday, Director Scott Barnhart and Assistant Director Deb Knight of the Harrison County Job & Family Services (HCJFS) appeared before the board to see two contracts approved with

one being a purchase service contract (5-21) “for transportation services with the Harrison County Public Transit.”

Commissioner Paul Coffland read the contents of the contract, which runs from March 1, 2021 through Feb. 28 of 2022. Amounts the HCJFS would pay “of CFDA

So We’re Here to Treat You!

(Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance)” in part are $480,000 for one division of the contract and another (CFDA) $10,000 with federal funds being a part of that payment as well.

Coffland said Medicaid, TANIF and another program called FATE are involved in the contract. Another contract (6-21) involves union interest with Barnhart stating it’s their collective bargaining agreement. He said this would extend to another three years running from Oct. 1, 2020 through Sept. 30, 2023.

Another contract from last week needed to be rescinded because of an amount error.

This dealt with Grae-Con Construction’s bid for the Harrison County Probation office renovations.

The incorrect amount was listed as $194,308 but was corrected to show $193,000 and approved

by the commissioners.

Also, under appropriations, Coffland announced that the Harrison County Health District was the recipient of an award dealing with COVID-19 involving contact tracing in the amount of $30,000.

Coffland also announced that Deb Knight was appointed county Preventative Specialist dealing with child abuse and neglect.

“We thank Ms. Knight for doing this for us and representing us,” Coffland said.

Finally, phase 1 of the construction of guardrails around the county has officially been awarded to Cuyahoga Fence, of Cleveland. Coffland said this was contingent on the approval of ODOT. The winning amount was for $312,823.44.

Assistance Harrison County COVID cases continue to drop Housing Grant Program

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Just 11 new cases of COVID-19 have been registered since last week, Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome revealed at Wednesday’s commissioner’s meeting. Total cases are now at 1006 with presumed recovered at 927, that is up by 10 from last week as well.

Deceased from COVID stands at 19 and active cases are up just one from last week for a total of 60. Harrison County’s occurrence rate also dropped significantly from over 300 per 100,000 residents to 219.4 for data covering Feb. 7 to Feb. 20.

But Rhome added since the day prior, that occurrence rate has now dropped to 152, which is approaching the level (under 100) for dropping out of the Red-Alert status. This

drops Harrison County into 76th place after floating in the 20s and 30s for the past several months.

“Weather didn’t affect our second doses at all last week,” Rhome told the board. “We went ahead with our seconddose clinic last Friday, that went very well despite any weather challenges and things like that.” He said more second-dose customers would be taken care of this week along with people waiting on their first dose.

He stated that this would eventually resemble their flushot clinic with a drive-thru for certain hours on certain days. But he touched on the limited supply of vaccinations they’re still struggling with, which limits them to specifics on days and people involved.

“We’re starting this week to be able to crack that large sixty-five to sixty-nine list,” he explained. He said they still

have to make sure that the older groups are being taken care of as they continue to call in and request their vaccination, and where they have priority over the lower age groups.

When asked where teachers are regarding the priority list, he said they had been vaccinated on the target date that was set by the state, which was the “first week of schools,” in early February.

He said the second dose for Harrison Hills would be coming this Friday.

Rhome said a large amount of doses would be made available after schools around Ohio end their calendar school year. He said those doses would be reallocated back to the health departments and pharmacies.

Rhome said the carry over in groups from week to week is getting fewer but there would always be some in a particular

group that was not able to receive their vaccine that will signup later on.

“But there might be ten or twenty new eighty-five year olds for example, who decided that they would like to get vaccinated,” Rhome explained. “So we always go back and take them, put them on their first. We do the same thing with any new seventyfive to seventy-nine year olds.”

He said these numbers continue to get smaller and also understands that the entire population of Harrison County are not going to pursue being vaccinated.

“We want to encourage people to do that, we want to see as much as the population interested in the vaccine as possible,” Rhome said adding that he didn’t know the exact percentage of interest in the county for being vaccinated but said they were approaching 2,000 for receiving the first dose.

Scio plans for wastewater treatment plant revamps

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE The Village of Scio has been undergoing major water system updates for a while now and, while much progress has been made, is still far off from completion.

New water lines have been installed all through the town and each residence has a new meter. But that isn’t all that Scio has in the works.

The water clarifier at the wastewater treatment plant is an important component to the overall operation and is in need of major revamps. These revamps are projected to begin in May of this year

pending good news from the grant authority.

Scio submitted the grant this month and expects to hear results by their next meeting on March 10. This project is considered to be an ongoing one as the council has completed all of the project phases of planning, grant submission, etc. and is waiting for the funding to be secured and the final phase to begin. They look for the project to cost $565,132 and anticipate sharing a 10 percent cost of $56,514 out of pocket. In the meantime, Scio is needing to make repairs to the old

infrastructure. The roof on the clarifier is to be replaced as soon as the weather permits and the trusses and sheeting will need to be inspected.

There is also an ongoing project at the water treatment plant. The water lines at the plant are in need of replacement. The engineers have received and are reviewing those final plans.

Scio is in the process of applying for a grant for the project and expect to submit it soon.

Water production is still above average, which indicates a leak somewhere.

This has proven to be a

difficult task for village employees to locate. Not one but multiple leaks have been identified; one of the leaks is believed to be along the main line that travels parallel with Route 646. Scio will need to work with a contractor to fix this problem due the slope of the water line. Employees noticed another troublesome spot along Crimm Road where over 5,000 gallons of water has been “used” or leaking over a three day period. Another leak was determined to be at a residence on High Street. All parties involved have been notified.

Obituaries

Barbara (Barb) Leone Diederich Walton Barbara (Barb) Leone Diederich Walton, 85, of Carrollton, passed away February 21, 2021 at Carroll Healthcare Center.

Born January 8, 1936 in DuBois, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late William C.F. & Nellie L. (Miller) Diederich.

Barb grew up on a farm in Jewett Ohio, graduated from Jewett High School in 1953 and attended Kent State.

Barb married Richard C. (Dick) Walton on July 18, 1954 at the Carrollton United Presbyterian Church and had been married 47 years prior to Dick's passing in 2001.

Barb worked in cost accounting at Good Roads in Minerva Ohio from 1953-55, the Carrollton McCook House as a Docet and a Christmas Volunteer, and as a news correspondent for WJER Radio and The Times Reporter from 1967-1990.

Barb belonged to Bethel United Methodist Church in Jewett prior to her marriage, and then belonged to the Carrollton United Presbyterian Church for over 60 years, where she served as an elder and clerk, head of the U.P. Women's Missionary Society, choir and choir director, and many years as pianist for both the Carrollton and Scroggsfield U.P. churches. She also served on the U.P. Lay Renewal Team.

She delighted in attending other denominations' church services throughout the week.

Barb's greatest love was Jesus and serving Him, along with her love of family, friends, gardening and music. She was an accomplished pianist and also learned to play sax, ukulele, guitar, organ, and dulcimer. She loved to sing and belonged to Carroll Tones Sweet Adelines Barber Shop Group and The Singing Christians, as well as being part of a trio and traveling to nursing homes, singing for the resident's enjoyment for many years. In 2011, she received the Carrollton Music Study Club's Music Award in appreciation for her many years of service to the community and also received recognition for meritorious services to 4-H. Barb enjoyed writing some music and short stories, as well as her Jewett alumni banquets and class reunion events, birthday celebrations at the Sr. Friendship Center, traveling to many county fairs, and entering floral arrangements and flowers and everything else connected to the Carroll County Fair, decorating for every holiday (especially Valentine's Day when she became engaged), anything sparkly and shiny, bubble lights, stuffed animals, snowmen, soda pop, and

especially desserts!

Barb volunteered many years at The Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, Hospice (The Prayer Activity), and RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program), spent many hours at Carrollton's House of Prayer and as a 43-year cancer survivor, participated in a Carroll County Relay-4-Life with her daughter, who is a cancer survivor also. For many years, Barb also was the coordinator and cocoordinator for Carroll County's National Day of Prayer, served on the "All Denominations Christian Women's Retreat" team, participated in the yearly right-to-life event and completed The Lay Speaker's Training Course through the conference of The United Methodist Church.

She supported many veteran's organizations and Christian ministries, especially Judicial Watch and Jay Sekulow's ACLJ (American Center for Law & Justice).

When Barb was passionate about something, there was no stopping her, and her home was always open and welcoming to everyone. She and Dick hosted a rotary exchange student, Valinho Regatieri from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Her love, compassion, and prayers helped so many – especially a young woman who had considered ending her life, who now is in ministry. Hearts, lives and organizations were touched by Barb's love for the Lord, her giving nature and her time spent volunteering. She never hesitated to pray for someone's "needs" immediately, via phone, in person, or even in the middle of the grocery store.

Barb was ready to meet Jesus face-to-face. She knew and loved her savior and gave her heart to Him and never hesitated to share the gospel with those she met. She leaves behind an amazing legacy. As Jesus would say, "Well done, good and faithful servant".

Barb was preceded in death by her husband, Dick; and brothers, James (Cleveland) and Harold (Wintersville) Diederich; and is survived by her children, Karla (Mark) Wells, and Darl (Barb) Walton.

The family wishes to thank all those who compassionately cared for Barb at Carroll Healthcare the past two years and all those who visited or sent such an outpouring of cards and notes.

You've blessed our hearts.

A private graveside family service was held at Bethel UMC Cemetery in Jewett, due to current health concerns with the Covid-19 pandemic, and a celebration of her life will be held late spring.

Memorial contributions in Barb's name may be sent to the Carrollton U.P. Church (265 2nd St. NW, Carrollton, OH 44615), Bethel UMC (Patty Sabo, 415 Pauline Dr. Hopedale, OH 43976), The Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry (Box 551, Carrollton), or the Carroll County Animal Protection League (CCAPL, Box 353, Carrollton).

He leaves behind his grieving family: son, Brandon Miser of Conway, AR and his children Madyson, Jaxon and Preston; daughter, Kaci (Steve) Wright and children Kadence and Brantley of Medina, OH; sister Deborah (Greg) Albaugh of Strasburg, OH and their sons Geoff (Heidi) Albaugh and Sabrina of Hermitage, TN and Steven (Andrea) Albaugh of Canton, OH; brother, Jeff (Rachael) Miser of Columbus, OH and their children Alyx (Aaron) Miser-Deering of Columbus, OH and Benjamin Miser of Syracuse, NY. Richard is survived by the mother of his children, Katherine Kovacik Miser, of Jewett, OH. He also leaves behind his beloved bulldog, Rosie.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his daughterin-law Samantha Miser.

Dick left us unexpectedly with an unfinished life, but oh did he live life to the fullest. He graduated from Jewett High School, attended the Ohio State University, and graduated from the University of Steubenville as a Medical Technologist. He worked at Ohio Valley Hospital in Steubenville for many years, and attended classes at the CDC in Atlanta to learn specialized skills. He later worked at Trinity Hospital for a short time, before working for Wampole Laboratories, where he traveled extensively to teach technologists over the world how to use laboratory equipment. He retired from Qiagen in 2016.

At an early age, Richard had a strong belief in community and serving others. This belief developed into a lifelong commitment. As his father, he became a volunteer fireman at an early age and was the assistant fire chief at the time of his passing. He spent countless volunteer hours dedicated to the fundraising efforts of the fire department. He was instrumental in preparing meals, calling bingo, and was the chairman of the annual Jewett

Craft Show. He trained to become an EMT and paramedic and served the community for many years in these capacities as well as using these skills to train new EMTs. He also served on the state level paramedic board.

His community service was also seen through his participation in Relay For Life events for the American Cancer Society and the Buddy Walk of Northeast Ohio.

He was a gifted photographer and received recognition and won awards in competitions. His desire to capture the perfect photograph enabled many family members and friends to experience his passion and to see the world through his camera lens. This passion drove him to fulfill a lifelong dream of going on an African safari where he shot hundreds of pictures which he graciously sent to those he met on the trip so they would always have a memory as he created it.

Richard was an intellect who studied astronomy and history. He spent countless hours looking at the night skies through a telescope and studying the origins of the universe. He was fascinated with pictures coming back from the Hubble telescope and other satellites. He was a student of history and avid reader. His encyclopedic mind could pull out dates and events without effort.

Trying to best him in a game of Trivial Pursuit was futile.

A quiet and reserved man, Richard loved being a father and the opportunity it provided him in being a grandfather. His home enabled him to share his love of life and nature with his beloved grandchildren.

He loved music of all types but especially the classic Rock genre.

He attended many concerts throughout his life seeing great musicians. One of his memorable trips was to Chicago for the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival.

Richard was a compassionate, gentle man. He gave of his life in service to others. Never seeking praise or adulation, he was a person who cared deeply for his fellow man. He loved his family, the fire department community, and Jewett. His passing has left a hole in our hearts and community.

The universe became a little darker when his light was extinguished.

Private services will be held for the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Jewett Volunteer Fire Department, PO Box 15, Jewett, OH 43986 or the American Cancer Society, Attn: RFL Medina SK #YLXXUH, 10501 Euclid Ave, Cleveland OH 44106. Koch Funeral Home, Scio has been entrusted with his services. www.kochfuneral.com

Good News

By Pastor Ken Staley:

Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches

Salt and Light Did you ever eat eggs with no salt? I honestly don’t know how people do it. Jesus talked in the Sermon on the Mount about His followers being salt for the unbelieving world. But He added that if we lose our saltiness, we are no longer good for anything.

Ouch!

He also said His followers are the light of the world, a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. Sounds like we have some work to do.

That work is to remain flavorful and let our light shine for all the world to see so that they can give God glory.

So, exactly how does a follower of Jesus lose his or her saltiness?

Back in the day, when salt was used as a preservative, it would lose its saltiness through improper storage on the ground. Moisture would get in and ruin the salt.

Our job as followers of Jesus is not to be stored in the wrong place and let the moisture of society creep in and neutralize our saltiness. And, with just a passive look at the news and entertainment industry, one can see that the elimination of the gospel is exactly what they would

like to see happen. Lest one should think that I’m whining, let me say that this is nothing new.

It’s been going on in one form or another for about 2,000 years.

Light’s job is to give light, darkness’s job is to extinguish the light. Let the fun begin. Jesus called his followers salt and light.

Our calling is to flavor, preserve and light up the world around us.

We are not called to go along just to get along. We are not to be secret agent Christians who blend into the world around us. We will not be rewarded in heaven for what great compromisers we were.

Jesus said not to hide our light under a basket but set it up high so all can see. This means having a good public testimony.

Jesus said in Matt. 5:16 “Let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

We should all remember, unchurched people don’t read the bible, but they read the people that do.

SMITHFIELD

BY ESTHER MCCOY A wonderful man that I have known since coming to Cadiz to do news for another paper in 1981 has left this world to join his family, John Tabacchi. He was 103 years old and stood at the griddle at the Cadiz Lions Club pancake and sausage breakfasts for ages flipping sausage cakes and smiling as if he enjoyed each minute of it. If

you finished your food, he would approach and with a twinkle in his eye and say "Would you like another one?"

He was anxious to fill up hungry stomachs. He was also willing to promote the ideals of Lionism and had 100 percent attendance through his many years. I had to smile each time I saw him, as I knew if he was smiling at you he meant it.

With this being Black History Month, the Underground Railroad Museum in Flushing who liked to show interested people the aspects of it is trying to feature many aspects of Black American history and the way those became part of American history.

I met John Maddox, the late founder and curator of the Underground Railroad Museum who left its history and artifacts for someone to continue the work. Kristina Estle, the present museum director, said they are paying tribute to a different person or event each day that is possible.

But with the pandemic continuing to take its toll, it is spurring people to take other online alternatives, it was noted.

Maddox spoke to the Smithfield Friends of Smithfield group about a year before his passing and had everyone listening in rapt attention. "Unfortunately, with the restrictions on the amount of people we cannot have a

public event now, she said.

Estle said that she stepped up a year and a half ago, at the demise of Maddox to reach school age children and local communities. "I have been promoting the museum despite COVID-19 restrictions because many have not heard of the museum and want to get our name out there and get more foot traffic but due to the virus, I had to switch any way I could from in-house to figuring how to virtually program and promote it .The Underground Railroad Museum website can be found at ugrrf.org.

Soft snow is wonderful to go strolling in when it has fallen in fluffy flakes but it is not so easy to make headway when it has drizzled and frozen into a hard glaze that makes a wonderful skating rink. Since I had gotten out to go the drug store just recently. I though I was ready to take a walk to see my niece and give her a birthday present. I couldn't find my boots, so I put on Lamont's cowboy boots that hit me above the knee. About eight steps into the snow and I stopped sinking and slipped and slid until I had no control. Gift bag, and a sorrowful walker, ME, went onto the ground and kept sliding each time I tried to get my legs under me. I was hoping someone came along the highway and offered me assistance but it was up to me to get up and go back home rather that present the gift. Lamont ended up taking it over. It wasn't destined for me to see Nola that day.

Jewett council voices concerns over fires, vows to check hydrants

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – Mayor Dwight Busby noted at Wednesday’s meeting the slew of fires in and around Harrison County that’s been on the news the past few weeks. He cited some of the fires and the problems involved were due to hydrants not working properly.

“I’m going to see to it that we are on schedule for checking the hydrants couple times a year at least, and also exercise our valves,” Busby told council adding that he wished to have a

program set up for the latter as well.

Another issue raised came from Council Member Ruth Blackburn who noted some criticism on social media over a Feb. 6 article (“Jewett Police report another busy month”). In the article it was stated by Busby that the village was not responsible for putting up memorial signs for veterans but Blackburn noted that the criticism centered only on that and failed to note the rest of the story, which states that numerous council members volunteered to do the work.

Also, Busby added the work

would get done once the weather breaks after they get people in place to do it.

It was the same situation for the village of Cadiz where their workers put the banners up as a courtesy but the village itself was not responsible. The Cadiz Business Association in conjunction with the Harrison County Visitor’s Center took charge and who were responsible for the act.

Blackburn later this week said that anyone interested in cleaning up properties should contact the village (942-1471).

Also, people wanting to volunteer to help clean up

other’s properties who are unable to do so, to contact the village as well. Blackburn said she would be involved in coordinating some of that, as she has been involved with cleaning up parts of the village in the past.

Village Solicitor Jenna Hokes told council that the contracts with ODOT that were discussed over the past month had been finally taken care of, which involved snow removal.

She said the concerns Council Member Rick Meneely had were not the same issues involved with the ODOT contract. She said Meneely was

concerned over culvert work and was told that it was, “initially an ODOT project.”

She said it might have been in the past but it is not their responsibility now.

“We can make a request as a village asking them to look at that problem and see if they will consider making it one of their capital projects,” Hokes explained. “They will not come in and do projects in villages anymore unless it is a capital project just based upon their budget and those types of things.” She said she would be in contact with ODOT if the village is interested in putting in

that request.

Also, Council Member Bo Bailie noted the passing of two important contributors to the village of Jewett, Dennis Kovarik and Richard Miser. “…Been life long residents here in the town and they’ve done multiple things throughout the year for the village of Jewett,” Bailie said.

“Especially with the volunteer fire department…they’re going to be sadly missed.”

Busby noted how they were “good for this community, that’s for sure,” with others nodding their heads in agreement.

Support Sandhill Cranes & other wetland species with income tax donation COLUMBUS, Ohio – The nasally bugles of a flock of sandhill cranes passing overhead is a sound and experience not soon forgotten. Thanks to monitoring and conservation work by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife and partnering organizations, cranes can be sighted at Ohio’s wetlands and are once again breeding in the state.

In 1987, the first pair of sandhill cranes returned to breed in Ohio after they were extirpated from the Buckeye State. In 2020, biologists estimated 58 breeding pairs and confirmed 25, producing upwards of 28 offspring. The slowly expanding breeding

population indicates the success of ongoing conservation work, but sandhills are still listed as a threatened species in Ohio.

Much work remains until their awe-inducing calls are heard with regularity.

Ohio’s tax donation program is an important way for wildlife enthusiasts to help contribute to restoring and managing endangered and threatened wildlife and other species of interest. By making a tax donation to the Wildlife Diversity Fund on this year’s tax return, Ohioans are helping to ensure the future of Ohio’s ecosystems, from native habitats and landscapes to endangered plant and wildlife species.

Funds from the tax donation

program go directly to projects that protect Ohio’s wildlife.

Individuals may donate all or part of their state income tax refund by entering a dollar amount for “Wildlife Species” on line 26d of the 2020 IT 1040 tax form. Contributions made on the 2020 tax return and filed in 2021 are considered deductible donations made in 2021.

Sandhill cranes are a wetlanddependent species. During migration and the winter months they sometimes feed in agricultural fields but return to wetlands to roost at night. They breed in large, wet meadows or shallow marshes during the summer. Aerial waterfowl surveys have shown feeding

flocks of up to 150 of these impressive birds.

Flocks migrating overhead in a Vformation may number in the thousands. Killbuck Marsh (Wayne County), Funk Bottoms (Wayne County), Killdeer Plains (Wyandot County), Magee Marsh (Ottawa County), and Mosquito Creek (Trumbull County) wildlife areas are great locations to observe these birds.

Wildlife watchers can help track Ohio’s breeding cranes by reporting sightings of breeding pairs and their young to eBird or the Wildlife Reporting Website.

Because sandhill cranes are dependent on high-quality wetland habitat throughout the

year, conserving this space is key to ensuring their continued success. Governor DeWine’s H2Ohio program is one way that crucial wetland habitats are being created, restored, and protected.

The H2Ohio program is bringing Ohioans better quality water in rivers, streams, and Lake Erie, as well as helping wildlife. Wetlands are important for filtering water, absorbing pollutants, managing flooding, and supporting wildlife.

Harrison trots all over Trail Harrison Central jr. high boys in opening round 68-33 compete in Glitch tourney

By DJ WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – It’s tournament time in Ohio! The Harrison Central Huskies opened first round Sectional play this past Tuesday, and they did it in impressive fashion. Head Coach Justin Clifford got the most wellrounded team effort of the year in the 68-33 dismantling of the 12 seed Buckeye Trail Warriors, especially on the defensive end.

It was a defensive performance resembling Clifford’s teams of the early-to-mid 2010’s; a gritty, high intensity man to man set that absolutely stymied the Warriors ability to set a pace on the offensive end. Fueled by hustle, it was certainly a welcoming sight after the Huskies dropped their last two games of the regular season to Garaway and Monroe Central.

The Warriors managed just four points in the first quarter, and 14 in the entire first half. By the break, the Huskies had amassed a 30-14 lead. However, it was the third quarter that really ended any doubt. Mitchell loaded up 14 of

his game-high 28-points in the eight minute frame, and by quarter’s end the Huskies (14-9) were leading by 30-points at 5525.

Buckeye Trail (7-15) never recovered from the slow start, and Harrison’s smothering defense along with a well balanced scoring attack had fans scouting out the next round opponent early in the evening.

Aside from Mitchell, up-andcomer Hayden Cassidy and junior Jonathan Vermillion put the exclamation point on the double digit scoring trio for the Huskies.

Cassidy’s quickness and ability to get outside shots out of his hands fast has proven valuable this year, as the sixth man off the bench has firmly planted himself in Harrison’s offensive attack. He finished with 18-points.

Vermillion continued with his steady presence inside. He was active on the boards on all night, and did most of his damage from the free throw line. The junior finished 9 of 12 from the stripe, adding two strikes from the field to finish with 13-points.

The Huskies will now look onward, as a date awaits this weekend with the #3 seed Ridgewood Generals for a Sectional Championship. The Generals were a Sweet 16 team last season before being bounced from the tournament by Fairland.

Ridgewood dropped Edison 6426, and topped Coshocton 62-41 this past Tuesday in the Sectional semi-final to set the tip with the Huskies.

Rounding out the scorecard against the Warriors, senior Sam Santille finished with five tallies, and sophomore Cabot Arbaugh dropped four. Senior Skylar Mazeroski was the silent factor, while he didn’t light the scoreboard, he led the charge on defense with a special brand of tenacity.

Another number to watch this weekend, Mitchell is now up to 16th on Ohio’s All-Time scorers list. He passed former local stars in Barnesville’s Luke Powell, and Allan Hornyak of Bellaire St. John’s this week.

Both of the Harrison Central boys basketball teams played in the Al Glitch Junior High Basketball Tournament Consolation finals last Saturday on the John Jenkins Court in St. Clairsville.

The seventh grade started the action. The Huskies fell behind a hot shooting Cambridge Bobcat squad 15 – 2 to end the first quarter. The young Huskies then went on their own hot streak using a 12-1 spurt to make the score 16-14. The Bobcats used a five point streak to end the half with a 21-14 lead.

The second half saw the Huskies cool off offensively to see the third quarter end 34-18 and a final score of 39-24 in favor of the Bobcats.

The eighth grade Huskies were short top scorer Mykel Quito due to injuries as they faced the Indian Creek Redskins in the eighth grade consolation finals.

A hard-fought first quarter saw the Redskins ahead by a 9-8 score. The Huskies then outscored the Redskins by one to even the score 16-16 going into halftime.

The Redskins pulled out to a 29-25 lead to end the third quarter. The Huskies took the lead at 32-31 only to see the Redskins tie the game at 39 all with 12 seconds left to send the game into overtime.

start the overtime period then scored the first seven points in overtime to lead 46-39. The Huskies would fight back to within four points only to lose by the

final score of 49-44. Leading the eighth grade scoring was Reed Arbaugh with 12, followed closely by Brice Tanner and Tucker Snyder with 11.

Lady Huskies fall in Sectional action

Vermillion completed a trio of double digit scorers for the Huskies, finishing with 13-points.

Harrison County’s All-Time leading scorer Kobe Mitchell has played his final game on the campus of Harrison Central. In true fashion, he led all scorers with 28 points in the Huskies 68-33 first round victory over Buckeye Trail this past Tuesday night.

CADIZ - On Thursday evening the Lady Huskies retired the 2021-22 season in a very close contest with visiting Sandy Valley. The event was a Division III - Sectional final round, and the Huskies put everything they had on the court. The visitors were undaunted by the Husky’s record, and though not as quick as the Huskies, outmaneuvered Harrison in the final minutes of the game.

The ending of the first quarter revealed how the contest would play out, as the two squads headed to the bench tied at a score of 10 all. They would return and go blow for blow in the second quarter, while producing another tie at 19 each at the quarter’s end.

Harrison’s first half saw nine points coming from McKayla Dunkle and six from Audrey Corder, and minimal support from the middle of the offense.

All total, the balance of the squad lent four points to the opening 16 minutes, as bucket after bucket careened off the rim and board.

Coming to life in the second half, 25 points would be the answer from the middle of the offense. Maddy Butler would lead the scoring in the second half with nine of the 25 points.

Britton Positano lent four points, McKenzie Harbold five, and Angi Ferri three. Ferri’s three points would represent the

final of the Huskies’ offense.

Dunkle would end the night with an additional seven points to lead all scorers, and Corder would toss in four more.

While still looking at the scoring by quarters, a one-point difference at the end of the third, revealed that the battle was still healthy, and Harrison would be down by the I-point at a score of 34 - 35. There would be no surprise that the two teams exchanged leads through the final period. At 2:13 remaining on the clock the Cardinals owned a five-point lead at a score of 50 - 48. A

stalling action by the Cardinals burned precious second off the clock and the Huskies went into a fouling mode. A second trip to the foul line for Sandy Valley earned the two points that had them up by two and the team score of 50. A time out by Harrison allowed Ferri to come into the game and immediately score three. Another time out by Harrison in the final seconds, would be hopeless as the clock showed .3 seconds remaining.

The Huskies would retire the season with a very respectable season and a record that was way ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

people of all face sizes and shapes a fast and easy way to make every mask fit better. Made of skin-safe, medical-grade, adhesive tape, MaskTite strips eliminate common mask problems like gaps, fogging glasses and slipping, and are sized for adults and children.

Here Franchino explains how to solve some of most common mask woes, some of which you’ve likely experienced: - Loose fit and slipping masks: Readjusting your mask when it starts to slip is not always possible, whether it’s because you have your hands full of groceries or work tools or you simply want to avoid touching your face. Keeping the mask affixed to your face with tape can eliminate slipping when it matters most, and achieve a tighter fit, supporting the latest CDC recommendations.

- Foggy glasses: The warm air of your breath escaping from the top of your mask can quickly make glasses foggy, causing a new hazard -- an inability to see. While it can be tough to find a mask that fits securely enough to eliminate fog, applying a solution like MaskTite to the inside of your mask means you

can get a proper fit and better visibility, no matter what mask you’re using.

- Irritating straps: A tight-fitting mask is great in many respects, but the straps can put a strain on the backs of one’s ears. Plus, there are times when mask straps can simply be in the way, such as when you’re getting a haircut. Securing your mask to your face with tape means you can go strap-free.

Waterproof and hypoallergenic, MaskTite strips can improve mask fit in a variety of environments, including healthcare, schools, retail and restaurant settings, salons, offices, manufacturing and more.

How and why to improve the fit of your mask (StatePoint) As more Americans get vaccinated against COVID-19, you may find yourself out and about more. Whether you’re returning to the workplace or just getting a haircut, mask requirements may be in place in certain venues you frequent.

New Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations highlight the importance of snugly fitting masks.

The good news is that innovations are helping people secure the fit of their masks, and, at the same time, solve some of the most common complaints they have when wearing them.

“As we began to wear masks in 2020, we found ourselves frustrated by things like fogging glasses and slipping masks. Our team has extensive experience solving healthrelated challenges and thought there had to be a way to address this,” says Dave Franchino, co-founder at MaskTite, a company that makes a medical-grade, double-sided tape designed to adhere to the inside of a mask for a more secure fit.
