Health Dept. reports zero COVID-19 cases in county Public urged to continue following stay-at-home order earlier than normal. Rhome stated he will be appearing each week now with an update on the coronavirus.

Rhome did say calls have been coming in from various corners of the community regarding Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s recent stay-at-home order.

The question has come to what is essential business and what is not.

Apparently the way the order is worded

CADIZ – As of Thursday there still have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Harrison County according to Harrison County Health Department Administrator Garen Rhome who appeared before the commissioners at their Tuesday meeting, which was held one day

has people questioning what is essential to staying open for business and what is not: “All persons stay at home unless engaged in essential work or activity.”

“I would just emphasize that the details of the order aren’t intended to dig through to find a loophole,” Rhome explained, “that’s not the spirit of it. The spirit of the order is to stay home absolutely if you can. If you are essential in the order, you should still

be taking the six-feet precautions, the ability to wash your hands or sanitize.

It’s not just to find a way to still operate your business or get your guys to come in. That’s not the idea.”

When asked what the difference between the precautions everyone was to take prior to the order and now Rhome stated, “functionally there’s not that much difference.”

The determination of what was essential was being determined by each individual but as of Sunday, it’s an order with now being the time to

buckle down as he said, “flatten the curve” in the growth of the virus.

“I implore folks to abide by this order,” Rhome told the board. “We’ll get through it together and if we want to see any sort of regular fun time, spring time, summer time activities we all need to work together and get through this.”

EMA Director Eric Wilson was also present and said a link to the governor’s Sunday night order has now been

Shooting in Cadiz leads to arrest

Meet Joe Friday

CADIZ – A shooting in Cadiz, which occurred just before 3 p.m.

Wednesday afternoon has led to the arrest of Cadiz resident, Chuck Williams. The shooting took place in the alley next to the Harrison News-Herald building. A single .40-caliber casing was found underneath the steps in the alley leading to the back of the NewsHerald building.

Just before 3 p.m. loud voices were heard coming from that alley just off S. Main Street in Cadiz.

Seconds later a loud boom rang

out and a man later identified as Williams was seen walking from the alley down S. Main Street. As he walked past the front entrance to the News-Herald three witnesses saw him drop a silver handgun from his pocket as it hit the sidewalk. Williams picked it up and placed it back in his pocket.

Two witnesses standing across the street in front of the Visitor’s Center saw Williams continue walking down S. Main Street and turn down E. Warren Street where he tossed the gun onto the roof of

Issues taken with New Athens audit story

The Granitar family had a barnyard birth leaving the entire family excited. Two weeks ago, their Shetland pony gave birth to a 23-inch miniature horse. The baby was named Joe Friday as he was born on Friday the 13th. His Shetland mother belongs to Maddie but Coleman and Adriana have a big interest in the little guy who can be carried around like a baby. It was so tiny Maddie had to buy a goat halter to fit his small frame. It's hard to believe Joe is already nibbling small grain from the fingers of its owners. It will be up to 4 months before the Shetland pony mom starts the weaning. Three of the Glenn horses look on from the barnyard. Coleman Granitar can be seen to the left. Maddie is holding the rope while Adirana looks on. They are the children of John and Rachael Granitar and grandchildren of Curt and Virginia Glenn of Irondale.

NEW ATHENS – Information regarding a state audit that was conducted last November where it came to light at the New Athens March 9 meeting, is being challenged. New Athens Solicitor Travis Collins publicly announced the findings with four past village employees being named.

Just to clarify and re-emphasize, the four who include former Treasurer Kelley Fulton, former Police Chief Jason Simmerman and former Mayors William Sedgmer and Ellis Abel are “jointly and severally” liable for

And more specifically, Simmerman, Fulton and Sedgmer were named liable for a combined $2,020 with Abel being responsible for the remaining $15.

In response to an article in last week’s News-Herald New Athens Mayor Joe Petro said he did not know why the two former mayors were named and was not given an explanation by the state auditor’s office. “…This didn’t have anything to do with them,” Petro said of Sedgmer and Abel to which Collins agreed as well. “I don’t

From PG | 1 understand that.” He added that the findings were never broken down specifically by the state auditors and suspected an explanation would only come if the case would ever go to court, which he was not suggesting.

Collins also stated he wasn’t sure the word “misappropriation” used in last week’s story was accurate. He called the findings “unsubstantiated expenditures” regarding the invoices.

Former Mayor Sedgmer took particular issue with him being named in the article and facts provided in conjunction with what he described as confusing the public while providing information, which could be considered false.

“It is true that I was mayor during part of the time in question,” Sedgmer explained as part of a prepared statement.

“Ellis Able was also mayor during a portion of the time involved in the audit.”

“During our tenures as mayor, both Mr. Able and I worked diligently to do what was best for the village. We didn't partake in any way, shape or form in any illegal activity. We

Williams later admitted to this, which is where Cadiz Police found the gun. Williams was apprehended walking near the prosecutor’s office on W. Warren Street and arrested without incident.

Reached later, Alexander Bacon admitted he was the one who had been shot and

did what was right with the support of not only council but also the residents of the town.”

Sedgmer, who served as mayor from 2012 to 2017, continued by stating that neither he nor Abel submitted “any payable bills” to village council without any documentation “to support the request.”

“I am not aware of how the ‘missing’ documentation described in your story could have left the village offices. I am confident in stating the documentation was there when I was mayor,” Sedgmer said in referring to Simmerman’s accusation published last week and repeated here that, “someone currently on council removed personnel files…along with a stack of invoices.”

Sedgmer explained that to his knowledge, his requests were “always approved by council… ” where he and Fulton would then sign for Simmerman’s reimbursement checks if he purchased approved items.

“I’d also like to state that Jason would always ask at the council meeting for anything that the police department needed which at that time council would discuss those and either approve said items or deny the request.”

Simmerman added that the

state auditors had questions regarding the invoices but that “they disappeared after I left.”

But “after I left” means that Sedgmer and Abel had been long gone from New Athens public service as he used the word “currently” in reference to council in regards to files and invoices.

“When a disagreement between certain members of council and the police chief eventually surfaced, I was no longer serving as mayor,” Sedgmer continued. “I had submitted a resignation due to personal and family obligations.

An audit was completed and nothing was found to be amiss at the time of my resignation.

The current matter surfaced a few years ago and I was aware of the accusations, etc., and held hope the matter would be handled by council and the village solicitor. As is now evident, I was wrong in that assumption.”

Petro said this week that “we have never failed an audit,” referring to the yearly audits the village submits to. He said this one was a special audit that council requested because as was stated in the last meeting, they had trouble figuring out what had happened.

Sedgmer also took issue with

this reporter quoting Council Member Mark Arnold describing the finding as “theft,” which Petro agreed, or asking where “larceny” plays into all this. But at the time neither Arnold or Petro were specific in who they were talking about.

“I've conversed with both men and other members of council and do not believe that to be the case,” Sedgmer said in defense of himself regarding those words he felt being pointed at him. Petro and Arnold both confirmed that those words were not meant for either mayor with Petro calling Sedgmer a, “straight shooter.”

Collins said this week that a March 25 deadline to “initiate legal action to collect the money” came from the attorney general’s office and may not be a hard one. He said the village’s next meeting should clarify matters on how the matter will be handled. He also said at the last meeting that, “there was an appeal period,” but if the four chose to do so they would have to appeal to the state and not to the village. He is not sure if any of them have appealed.

When reached, Fulton chose not to speak on the matter. Abel did not return a message left this week.

displayed his wound where the bullet appeared to graze him above the left knee. He seemed in good spirits and was jovial over the incident. Publisher of the Harrison News-Herald Dave Schloss, after hearing the gun shot raced to the back door and heard, “he shot me,” apparently coming from Bacon.

The argument, as he heard it, was reportedly over a backpack and who it belonged to was not clear but Williams was seen walking away with a backpack.

Cadiz Police Det. Ron Carter and Chief Ryan McCann said Williams would be charged with weapons under disability and possibly felonious assault.

Another citation he is being charged with, according to Carter is a novel one: violating the governor’s order to quarantine. McCann said a person must have a reason to be out on the streets due to the COVID-19 crisis and apparently Williams didn’t have a good one. Other charges may

follow.

Bacon, who just pleaded guilty this week to a charge of breaking and entering and released on probation after being sentenced to 216 days of local incarceration, a felony of the fifth degree, apparently did not admit at first to authorities he was involved in the incident when first questioned. He also did not seem to be in any pain from the wound and refused treatment.

REPORTS

From PG | 1 posted on the EMA Facebook page.

“We stand ready to share information with the public [and] we’re having meetings with the health department…”

Wilson said while keeping public officials up to date on the important information concerning the current crisis.

He said they are also helping out with requests for needs such as masks for example, if the hospital should step forward with that.

Commissioner Paul Coffland stated they are being updated regularly by the EMA and the health department adding that they have been “right there” with answers.

“Obviously local government is working well together,” he said. Commissioner Don Bethel commended the people in the local community for being accommodating, taking care of each other and taking the crisis seriously.

“And I think that’s a shout out to Harrison County residents for not being stubborn about staying in, about keeping their distance,” Bethel said. He repeated what Rhome has been saying that it is a matter of time before the first case in Harrison County is confirmed and thanked the public for being patient.

“I know it’s ridiculously awful for some people…” he said in referring to common events in people’s lives that now have to be canceled such as weddings and birthday celebrations for example.

“I’m proud of Harrison County for the moment you know, it could change over night but for right now things are going smooth…we’re prepared if it does get here,”

Bethel continued but that’s when Rhome corrected him and said, “when it does,” which Bethel agreed.

Rhome thanked the commissioners for passing the recent emergency declaration, which he said endorses Dr. Amy Acton and Gov. Mike DeWine’s “advice and orders.” Coffland added that in the public interest the government is still at work and the courthouse, though, open only to essential business is open and the offices are occupied. Coffland encouraged the public to call ahead if needing to do business with a particular government office.

The essential businesses that are listed according to the official Ohio government website are: U.S. Department of Homeland Security; stores that sell groceries and medicine; food, beverage and licensed marijuana production and agriculture; charitable services; religious entities; media; first amendment protected speech; gas station and businesses needed for transportation; financial and insurance; hardware and supply stores; critical trades; mail and pick up and delivery services; educational institutions that follow safe distance guidelines, though it notes this does not “supersede prior Orders regarding the closure of schools.”

Other essential businesses listed are laundry services; restaurants for pickup and delivery; supplies to work from home and for essential businesses and operations; transportation; home-based care services; residential facilities and shelters; professional services; manufacture, distribution and supply chain for critical products and industries; critical labor union functions; hotels and motels and funeral services.

Local spill creates confusion CADIZ – A foamy substance was seen on the roads in various parts of Harrison County Monday. Apparently the spill was tracked all the way to the Apex Landfill in Amsterdam.

Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Director Eric Wilson relayed what he had been told by soåçmeone from the EPA and described the substance as a "soap byproduct,” which is still being investigated.

A call to EPA’s southeast district office asking if the substance had been tested or the company identified, resulted in a statement from an EPA spokesperson.

“Ohio EPA was notified and responded to a spill of soap waste along roadways in Cadiz; the material was released during transport to a disposal facility.

The responsible party cleaned up the spills along the road and transported the waste to the disposal facility,” Anthony Chenault of EPA said in a statement released Wednesday morning.

Ohio Department of

It was called a non-toxic spill and described as “soap byproduct,” by EPA officials, according to Eric Wilson of the Harrison County EMA. The Monday spill left a trail through roads in Harrison County and was traced to the Apex Landfill in Amsterdam but the company has not been identified. Cadiz Police Det. Ron Carter observes where it leaked into a creek off of N. Main Street in Cadiz.

Transportation (ODOT) workers and Cadiz Police were at the scene on Lincoln Ave. across from McDonald's where it apparently made its way from other points, which could also be seen in Scio and other areas of the county. EMA Deputy Director Jeremy Kulow was

present as well at N. Main Street in Cadiz where the spill made its way to an outlet running into the creek.

Kulow also said the origins were seen at the entrance to the Apex Landfill. The company the truck belongs to has not been identified as of yet.

“Fancy Meats” getting closer to Cadiz opening

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Another James Coffelt business is basically around the corner but this time he has a partner in former NFL player Michael Zordich. The business will be called “Fancy Meats” and will be located off the alleys that connect N. Main Street with E. Market Street.

The name came from Zordich’s great grandfather who was a butcher himself back in Youngstown and had the same name for a shop he operated decades ago.

Now Zordich will be tearing up beef instead of opponent’s defenses when he played for Penn State from 2008-12 then the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints from 2012-14.

An injury he suffered in his very first NFL game ended up cutting his pro career short but he’s found something else he really likes doing.

“I like working with my hands,” Zordich said adding that some type of farm life attracted him and what he seemed to be looking for. “I’m not the office type,” he said when after football was over he began looking for something he could enjoy, that’s when he spotted Coffelt’s website and gave him a call. He laughed when Coffelt told him to come see him “around daylight,” which he didn’t know exactly what that meant but it worked out.

“I liked everything it was

about,” he said after speaking with Coffelt and his business then followed that with an idea to go into business together, which Coffelt agreed would be a good idea. He said Coffelt hired him that day, which was more than five years ago.

Zordich then spent the next two years putting in his dues learning how to cut meat at different slaughterhouses while still working for Coffelt. When he started, though, he had no experience cutting meat and knew little about the business.

Both Coffelt and Zordich are proud to say that all beef cut and sold will be all natural grass fed cattle from Coffelt’s ranch, with no antibiotics or hormones in this meat.

“Just anything that is all natural and healthy, or as close as we can get,” Coffelt explained.

Coffelt said he also recently bought 103 sheep and will offer up lamb as well as chicken and pork. The idea is to cut the meat on one side of the building and the other side will be for the public to shop the display case full of various meats, cheeses from the Amish, as well as syrup, honey and other local products.

Zordich said some of the farms they’ll be dealing with are all within 30 to 40 miles of Cadiz, including the Boss Bison Ranch, which is just down the road with the Bison they’ll be selling.

Zordich said sometime in April or mid-May he should have his license and be fully certified to

cut meat.

“I’m well on my way there,” he said regarding the license. He said at some point they would like to have their own slaughterhouse but in the meantime, they will be using 3D Meats for that purpose. One thing Zordich emphasized among the equal partnership with Coffelt is that they are going to be a custom exempt processing facility. This means that anyone with a farm who wants their beef cut up, for personal use only, Zordich will be able to do that too.

When it comes to wild animals such as deer, though, that’s another story. Zordich said that takes a separate license with plenty of red tape connected to that side of things if say, a hunter’s deer catch was brought in, for example, which he wouldn’t be permitted to do.

Another side treat they’ll be dealing with is Charcuterie, or Italian deli meats, which include prosciutto, salamis, soppressata and cappacuolo just to name some of what they’ll be offering there.

Zordich said their prices could be described as “near marketprice grass-fed.”

“Local grass-fed, organic meats at affordable prices,” Zordich described the business, though neither he nor Coffelt would nail down an exact opening date. There’s always the government and their regulations, as Coffelt noted.

New Cadiz Post Office nears completion

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The new Cadiz Post Office is up but for now not running. Village officials and residents have been anticipating its opening for some time now a date for the first day of business has yet to be announced. A statement from Strategic Communication Specialist of the Northern Ohio District & Ohio Valley District, Naddia Dhalai, released a statement Thursday on its progress.

“We are working with the contractor to finalize the Cadiz Post Office. We have not

determined the date it will be opening but we will notify residents as soon as we know.

We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience this is causing, however we are working diligently on getting the new location open.”

When asked about the old post office and its eventual razing a decision had not been made there as well. And a statement on that issue revealed even less information.

“There has not been a decision made on the old office,” was all Dhalai would say. Village officials have been frustrated with the old building and have

Bowerston Village Council opens sealed bids

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY NH Correspondent

BOWERSTON - At the March meeting of the Bowerston Village Council, sealed bids for the two properties listed for sale after the January meeting were opened.

Councilman Allen Case opened the one bid received, for the 103 Main Street property, listed in the legal ad with a reserve of $2,000. Case moved to accept the bid, from Jon Humphrey, in the amount of $2,200. With the exception of Humphrey who abstained from voting, all other council members present at the meeting voted in favor of the sale.

Local resident Jay Caldwell was present at the meeting to discuss with council his options for hooking his home into the Village’s waste water system.

Caldwell said that he has had both Councilman Bob John and Village Administrator Megan John look at the issues he is experiencing and is interested in exploring his options of hooking into the Village’s system, when a financial plan can be developed.

No action was taken, this matter to be explored further in the near future.

SMITHFIELD

BY ESTHER MCCOY It seemed ironic reading about a cow on the loose in Pembroke Pines, Florida, just less than three weeks after we had a wandering cow pass through our yard. It had stopped on our patio to consume the remains of a bag of dog food promised to Lucy, Petrozzi’s adorable and ornery pet. This happened over night, so when glancing from the kitchen window in the A.M., there were immense footprints in the muddy ground. Upon closer inspection, they’re the same footprints on the patio. It didn’t take long to hear from other neighbors telling there was a cow wandering about.

This week I picked up a newspaper to read that a cow had been on the loose in South Florida since late January. She was not considered dangerous but startling to spot the bovine near Brownard County Interstate.

The police departments put out a tweet: “Wanted: Unknown Female Cow. Brown with a white head and faster than it looks.

Look at the Past Looking back at miners at the Kennon Mine

Miners at Kennon Mine, Flushing Township from early 1900's. Coal became increasingly important during the Industrial Revolution when coal was burnt on a large scale to fuel stationary and locomotive engines, heat buildings and produce electricity. Before mechanization began about 1910 the miners relied on brute force using pick-axe, hand drills and shovels to put coal in the mule drawn carts. Most Ohio mines were in the Eastern and Southern parts of the state. Kennon Mine was located between Flushing and Holloway OH along what today is SR 331.

Mitchell eclipses Harrison Central Basketball records; Selected to the 2019-20 All-Times Leader Basketball Team By: ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - While using his skills on the basketball court during the 2019-20 basketball season, Harrison Central’s Kobe Mitchell entertained spectators from home, as visitors and throughout the state. His skills would ultimately help him to accumulate and claim some team statistical categories. In that regard, Mitchel averaged 31.3 points per game to propel himself to the all-time leading scorer in Harrison Central’s boys’ basketball history.

As proficient on offense as he became, Mitchell played both

ends of the game equally. On defense he played the boards masterfully and collected an Kobe Mitchell average of 7.6 ricochets per outing. Quick feet and hands allowed him to pickpocket the opponents at a game average of 3.3, and he assisted his teammates at an average of 3.4 per game. Just as sure as the November rains pour on the Serengeti, Mitchell poured out his talents all season long,

leading to numerous outside accolades. Mitchell was recently named to the ‘All Times Leader 2019-20 Boys’ Basketball Team’.

Raining points from every angle and stifling opponents on defense also earned him a Second Team appointment as ‘All-Ohio’. That recognition would be the second of its kind in consecutive years. Following in suit, Mitchell was also named the ‘Player of the Year’ by the Eastern District and by District V. “Kobe is the best player in Harrison Central history, and is on his way to becoming one of the best players in the Ohio Valley and in the State of Ohio”, said Head Harrison Central

boys’ basketball Coach Justin Clifford. “He faced a junk defense basically every night with two guys on him and still scored 31 points a game. He makes the right play, does everything for us and makes his teammates better,” Clifford added. Just as the Serengeti receives a second rain in March, Husky fans will have another look at Mitchell in 2020-21.

Now that Mitchell has climbed to the top of Harrison Central boys’ basketball, we can only anticipate that his ‘reign’ at the top will once again elevate not only himself but bring Harrison Central another great season of basketball next year.

4-H clubs participate in various activities

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

WINTERSVILLE – 4-H Clubs have been attending overnighters, applying for camp counselor, attending Quality Assurance sessions, getting camp counselor training and decorating store windows to bring attention to the 4-H organization that is attended by many youth from 9 through 18-years old. These are just a few things that the head, heart, hands and health organization offer.

March 8 through 14 was Ohio 4-H Week and 20 clubs got out into Jefferson County and decorated an elementary school window, high school bulletin board, former elementary school window, Dari Queen windows, McDonald’s windows, Burger King window, fire department, Vault Company, grocery store, post offices, insurance company, car sales business, car repair business and many others. It took over 100 miles to cover all the decorated windows. Angie Allison, Extension educator and 4H youth development, was quite pleased with the participation.

There are 15 committee members who help guide the programs along smoothly through the year.

They are Jamie Wiley, Doug Meadows, Joyce Wetherell, Cindy Stingle, Clint Finney, Erin Ogden, Julie Boring, Suzanne McConnell, Amanda Wood, Anna Ault, Gretchen Bonecutter, Lori Vinci, Steve Griffith, Heather Merkel and Brandon Pendleton.

There are leaders who are well acquainted with a certain project animal. Clint Finney is well acquainted with swine; Tammy Mazzaferro, rabbits; Erin Best, poultry; Suzanne Smarella, dogs; Kelly Valuska, market goats. Amie Cline, sheep; Bonnie Randolph, beef; Chris Molinaro, small animals; and Joyce Wetherell, dairy. Those well versed with horses are Debbie Grimes, Robin Wedlake and Carl Glenn.

Leslie Afanas, 4-H/ANR program assistant, is the keeper of the J-Fit beads for serving volunteer time, collecting canned goods for those in need, raking leaves this past autumn, going on a nature hike or making a Christmas ornament that can also be entered in the Jefferson County Fair. She was distributing J-Fit beads to the Cloverbuds who had completed sessions at the Iron Chef program. All are excited about earning the colorful beads of honor.
