Commissioners open backup EMS bids SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2018

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – For the second straight year only two bids for backup EMS to Harrison County came forward. On Monday, both the Hopedale Fire Department (HFD) and the Harrison Community Hospital’s (HCH) bids were opened in a special session.

At Wednesday’s regular commissioner’s meeting, Paul Coffland and Don Bethel briefly discussed its contents where Bethel called it a tough decision, as it always is, he said.

Monday, those bids were tabled as

Coffland stated that copies of the bids have been sent to “all squads” for reviewing then they will absorb their feedback to help them in deciding, which direction to go.

Last year, HCH won with the low bid, though Bethel stated that that doesn’t necessarily clinch it. He said there is much more involved than just price and the commissioners want to make sure they receive the best backup service for the county’s residents.

Hopedale’s bid came in at over $400,000 and HCH’s bid was over $300,000.

In another matter addressed on Wednesday, a settlement agreement was announced between Rebecca Gladman in a lawsuit against Harrison County Rural

Transit (HCRT) (Rebecca Gladman, plaintiff v. Harrison County Rural Transit, et al., defendants). e suit was filed as the result of an automobile accident involving Gladman and HCRT. e commissioners approved a settlement to be paid to Gladman for “losses and damages” in the amount of $9,750.

Also, Doug Crabtree of the Harrison County Engineer’s Office brought forth three Road Use Maintenance Agreements (RUMA) for the board’s approval. e first agreement was for logging between the county and Denoon Lumber. e agreement involves roads in Stock Township particularly Harrison 502 east

for less than a mile to U.S. 250. e second agreement is with Utica Gas Services LLC in German Township. is one includes less than a mile on Harrison 19 and 1.4 miles of Harrison 51 and 0.4 miles of Harrison 46 into what he called the Mickey Well Connect. e third agreement is also with Utica Gas Services remaining in German Township into the Pickens Well Connect.

specifics were put together. He added that an Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grant was also being sought, as well. “is will be for the installation of (sewer) line and sewer pumping station at the County Home,” Crabtree explained.

Leading off the meeting, Clerk of Courts Leslie Milliken received approval for an agreement between the Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) and the Harrison County Common Pleas Court.

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Last Friday a host of Tappan Lake area projects were addressed at the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) meeting held at the district’s annex building in New Philadelphia.

Among the items addressed by Chief of Recreation Scott Barnhart was the announcing of a new concessionaire for the Tappan Lake Marina in the name of Dino Pangrazio, who also owns Dennison Yard in Dennison. Barnhart added that Pangrazio also currently operates their concessions in Tappan Park, as well.

“Again, we’re very excited to have him as well, we feel he’ll really add a great service to that facility,” Barnhart said. He added that the District will receive 7 percent of the gross sales as well as Pangrazio paying the utilities to run the restaurant. He also said the liquor license would be transferred to Pangrazio as long as he is in business there, but upon ending the agreement, the license would be transferred back to the MWCD. Also, 1.65 acres were approved for sale, which Conservation Administrator, Mark Swiger stated was on the south side of Tappan Lake. Swiger said the buyer approached the District for the purpose installing an entrance lane onto the buyer’s property.

Swiger said a ravine is hindering the buyer from installing the lane on their own property. Included in the details was the District’s first right of refusal and that they would also maintain mineral rights for that strip of land.

Swiger said the initial appraisal for the property was for $5,000 with the district’s forestry department adding a timber value at $6,200. e board eventually agreed to sale the 1.65 acres for $11,200.

Two more items involving Tappan were on the agenda with one being the wastewater treatment plant’s Phase 1 contract modification. Chief Engineer Boris Slogar announced an initial modification of $11,503 “that was within our approval and our spending authority limits” previously.

Slogar said there was an additional modification needed in order to complete the final design in the amount of $25,088. Slogar asked and received approval to ratify the first modification and approve the second for a total of $36,591. e second of the two items involved the Tappan Park campground renovations, Phase 2 project. Slogar told the board that the negotiations for the final construction plan was complete.

“Again, this is one of our larger projects,” Slogar said with extra sites and a restroom building as an example. He said the negotiated amount was not to exceed $410,265 and was approved by their master plan oversight committee. e board approved to award that bid.

Scio council fed up with excessive trash 2

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

SCIO – Coincidence or not?

Near the end of Monday’s Safety meeting held at the Puskarich Library County Engineer Rob Sterling noted the garbage problem around the county and said he hadn’t seen anything like it since the 1960s.

Wednesday evening at Scio’s village council meeting, Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh remarked with the same vigor regarding their trash problem, in particular, Grandview Street.

Tubaugh called the trash he’s seen around the village, an “epidemic.” Grandview wasn’t’ the only street within the village he targeted but noted certain parts of Main Street as well.

“Something needs done, it is getting bad,” he said. “When I say bad, Grandview Street looks like the county dump.” Council member Ron Wright said that the places that have garbage are getting even worse.

“It’s getting to the point something has to be done,” Tubaugh continued. Carol

Davy suggested sending letters to residents telling them to rid their property of trash but nothing definitive was answered. Talk of a dumpster brought in was discussed but Council member Andrew Turner stated that if people didn’t care enough to clean up what’s around their property, then they won’t care enough to take it to the village dump.

“So, they’ll have to be cited in the court,” Turner said to which Mayor Michelle Carpenter said that that issue was talked about in the last meeting and whether council should draw up a list of residents who need to clean up.

Davy stated that they could go after the landowners if a resident was only renting.

“As a landlord, it’s their responsibility,” Davy said, which Carpenter agreed.

Tubaugh explained that the problem isn’t identifying the problem but solving it. After Davy got a laugh as feedback for asking if there was a way to shame people into cleaning up their property, Carpenter said bluntly people couldn’t be made

to care. “at’s the thing…you can’t make people care,” she said. A list of names to publish in the newspaper was also suggested, to which Tubaugh said “as long as there’s not a name attached it’s just an address.”

“If you’re not going to force them to do it we’re wasting our time, that’s the bottom line,” Tubaugh told council. “You know how you do it? You go in there and tell them, ‘you got 10 days’ if they don’t do it we’ll go in there and clean it up. Ask them to clean it up once, kick them out, we no longer want you to live in Scio, have a nice day. If you’re going to be a pig live outside of town we have rules here,” Tubaugh stated.

He called parts of Grandview Street “beyond ridiculous” and said he feels sorry for others who live on that street as well.

Carpenter said she favors the idea of publishing addresses in the newspaper and suggested putting out a notice that clean up day is approaching later this spring and if neighbors have any problems to let council know

out of everyone but they also could not exclude people just because they may know and like them either.

“Address is an address, I don’t

care who lives there,” Carpenter answered.

After more discussion Carpenter said she would be contacting the sheriff’s office to ask about the village’s options.

about it.

Davy also suggested placing trash cans around the village because it’s not just private property that’s being littered with trash. She added that it also wasn’t just Scio that had a trash problem.

“But some need fined and when some are fined and the example is set and that is put on the front page of the paper that we are fining people, then maybe they’ll be scared and they’ll do it,” Carpenter said.

Davy also noted that they may not be able to make an example

HC students gain insights on D.C. trip HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | AREA

Saturday, March 31, 2018

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Harrison Hills students who recently took a trip to Washington, D.C. returned with rave reviews of the sights and the people they met. Joyce Barr, Taylor Easlick and Lucas Puskarich were three of the students appearing at the Harrison Hills Board of Education (HHBOE) meeting Tuesday evening who attended the week-long trip to Washington, D.C., which lasted from March 11 through the 16th.

Puskarich said students from all corners of the country were also there, which was part of a conference called “Close Up.� “Basically the idea of Close Up was to further all of our knowledge on sometimes political issues or types of matters pressing our country,�

Puskarich told the board. Some of the issues addressed were climate

control and the opioid epidemic with each student assigned a dierent category.

Barr said she was able to room together with students from other states instead of students from her own school, which she said she preferred. “I was really glad to meet new people, instead of being with people from our school,� Barr said referring to the fact that it enabled her to “branch out.� She said it opened her eyes to the political world and experience other student’s opinions based on where they were from.

Easlick remarked along those lines regarding climate change and how it may aect people in Harrison County versus others in another part of the country. “It was so much more than that,â€?

Easlick said referring to the trip that was more than just sight seeing.

Puskarich shared a conversation over oil and gas he had with a

Maryland student who thought coal “was going to burn the world down.�

He said after further discussing the issue on the energy those two resources provide the Maryland student, who Puskarich called the “nuclear energy guy,â€? eventually had an impact on him. He said it played out that way throughout the week using various exercises in arguments so students could see each side of the issue they were arguing. â€œâ€ŚI think it’s really important program for our school because those kids come back and they share what they learned with the kids around them‌â€? Barr explained adding that once they turn 18 they will be eligible to vote and get more involved in the issues surrounding them. “You have to know who you’re supporting, what they’re for and what their feelings are and that’s really important to be aware of,â€? Barr said.

Also, Principal for Harrison North Mike Saell recapped some events he

hosted with his students and one was bringing in a speaker, Chase Watts, an Ohio Highway State Patrol trooper. Watts began the program, “Books With Badges� and travels the area schools to speak with the kids.

Saell said it was a part of Literacy Week, which he said was also in close proximity to Dr. Seuss’s birthday.

Watts spoke to grades second through the fourth grade then throughout the week a dierent Dr. Seuss theme was played out for the kids each day.

Some of the area businesses donating were Bakers IGA and McDonalds. Saell said seven gift baskets were donated by he and other sta members, as well as donations from the community.

Saell said they were looking for new ideas for next year and that feedback was extremely positive, and commended the entire school for their eorts.

with the schedule, it should be okay,â€? Council member, Erin î “ompson said. î “e issue council was concerned with is the Biddy Baseball league changing locations from the old location to the park next to the Dairy Bar with construction and renovations ongoing.

No money is to change hands, even though the village lists the subject in their agenda as a lease.

Carpenter said they were attempting to accelerate the renovations they’re doing at the park. Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh said they have ordered a part for a machine and once the weather turns for the warmer, painting would begin as well.

Tubaugh said they were making progress and along with the work

by him, members of council and volunteers and their contributions, they may not have to spend the entire $7,000 recently approved by the village.

In other items, Ordinance 18004 in regards to House Bill-49 (HB-49) council finally did Income Tax approve.

Administrator Janeen Scott said that what Scio must pass is the same for each village regarding the community businesses tax situation. “But what this is, this just states that if for some reason that‌ House Bill-49, that they find that it’s unconstitutional then this part gets attached to that ordinance stating that‌that would no longer be in eect,â€? Scott explained. “So, we’re waiting on the courts,â€? she

said in regards to the joint lawsuit filed by various towns throughout Ohio.

Scott told council that they had to pass this ordinance now because “we’re supposed to have something in eect at that time,â€? she said of the Feb. 24 deadline. â€œî “is has to do with the profit or loss with companies, [this] has nothing to do with individual taxes,â€?

Scott said adding that companies could file with Ohio Business Gateway or they could opt-out.

Also, the old PNC bank building was noted by Tubaugh stating that the village may have the option to lease the first floor. â€œî “e condition of this building I think it would be in our best interest to do so,â€? Tubaugh explained.

closings with prior notice.

Sheri Joe Myers began the meeting with some caution for the company’s vendors to share the road.

He stressed lower speeds at least until drivers get used to the roads in the area they’re driving. “Still getting some complaints every once in a while and obviously once we get someone out there to do something about it, the trucks are gone, or whatever the case may be,�

Myers explained.

County Highway Superintendent, Jim Albright picked up from there and also threw caution to the public as he announced roadside mowing would begin in April. He added that most mowers were not being aided by flaggers so he encouraged drivers

to be vigilant. “We have had some trouble with people‌[who] are not going through the work zone in a reasonable amount of speed,â€? he said. “Just remember that when you’re going through the work zone that there are guys that are doing brush cutting, they are hand patching. I mean they’re trying to be cognizant of what they’re doing but just slow down when you’re going through a work zone. We’d really like to see everybody go home at the end of the day.â€?

Albright also noted the frost law that ends on April 15, which means that the 50 percent reduction in truck loads ends.

Addressing some road closings,

Harrison 24 was still closed and they hoped to finalize a plan this week. î “e slip on Harrison 17 was repaired and Harrison 2 and some ditching around that slip was also repaired.

One lane traďŹƒc still remains on Harrison Roads, 39 and 60, or Redeye Road.

County Engineer, Rob Sterling asked if there were still litter laws on the books as he noted what he called area trash along the roads, and that he hadn’t seen it “this bad since the 60s.� Myers agreed and said that people can and would be cited if caught.

Next safety meeting is scheduled for April 30th, at 10 a.m., downstairs at the Cadiz Puskarich Library.

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com SCIO – Wednesday, the Scio village council discussed again the situation regarding their ball fields and this time, it was a lease agreement. Council discussed the pros and cons of leasing the field and Mayor Michelle Carpenter said they’ve never had a formal agreement drawn up, and that it was always via the verbal avenue. “We’ve never had anything, it’s just always kind of been a verbal as far as us taking care of things down there,� Carpenter explained.

Council member asked if leasing the ball field limits the ability from anyone else using it for the time period in question. “As long as it doesn’t interfere

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy Tomorrow will be Easter, one of my favorite holidays as there are no gifts to buy, my grandchildren are even getting too old for Easter egg hunts; unless you put paper money in them. But they always go to church near Lewis Center or Plain City, where both our sons live.

I read about the Easter Bunny in a local paper by Terry and Kim Kovel and it reads that there is no suggestion of an egg-laying rabbit or hare in Bible's scriptures. ere were stories about decorating eggs as early as

the 1300's and children made nests for the colored eggs though. e rabbit symbolizing Easter now is a fluffy young bunny, even though it was an adult rabbit in earlier years. So there is some history on the tradition of the Easter Bunny.

Joelle Bensie had an adorable Easter Bunny who hugged the children who sat on its lap and waved excitedly to youngsters too afraid of such a big animal to come too close at her Soup Luncheon at the Jefferson County Fair kitchen recently. I am told that Annie Dodie was one of the first volunteers to climb into the hot bunny outfit.

Joelle even took a turn. I hope her daughter, Autumn, cannot read this. It is still real to her.

With Easter also comes jelly beans. I know they are available year around but they always seem to taste better at Easter. I heard from a representative of Jelly Belly jelly beans, the Cadillac of the flavorful candies, and am told that Very Cherry is the number 1 favored flavor. It is good but mine is the popcorn flavor.

Although they are most popular at Easter, I am told that April 22 is National Jelly Bean day. And if you wonder if the candies might be gone by Easter, it is told that the tart, sweet or salty treats are made at 1,680 beans per second.

Fair time is going to sneak up on us before we know it and the Harrison County Fair is from June 26 to 30, with Junior Fair Night on June 25. e first week of July was early but this is even closer than ever. e Jefferson County Junior Fair board is scheduled for an April 17 meeting at 5:30 p.m. in the Fair Kitchen. Vickie Whinnery is the coordinator and those interested in serving on the board need to give her a call at (740) 317-5592. She is mailing out applications to those who have expressed interested in coming aboard and those still available from 2017 membership. Vickie is looking for a limited number of enthusiastic 13-year-olds as well. e junior fair theme is Leadership...

"Inspiring Celebrating Success."

With this being a religious weekend I thought I would print a saying that was on my former work desk for years and now is standing proudly on my home desk. "For happy moments, praise God. For difficult moments, seek God. For quiet moments, worship God. For painful moments, trust God. And for every moment, thank God." DEERSVILLE

Before ending my column: 1) If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one. 2) You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have. 3) Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

4) Do what you can with what you have and where you are. 5) Life is an echo: what you send out comes back.

Until next month, have an awesome week, keep thinking spring (it’ll happen sometime), take care, God bless. Happy Easter!

The Sports Huskies pick up opening Guy’s HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | SPORTS/SCHOOL

FIRE & ICE R E P O R T A weekly wrap-up of what’s going on in High School, Collegiate and Professional sports

By DJ WATSON

Who’s hot?

Major League 1.

Baseball – even though half the country will watch opening weekend games in chilly temps, this is still the second most popular time of the year for America’s favorite pastime. Second only to the race for, and the carrying out of October playoff baseball, opening day activities offer a special feeling for diamond fans everywhere. After all, every team is technically undefeated and in first place. The Tribe will be in Seattle to open the year, Pirates in Detroit, and the Reds will be home with the Nationals to kick things off. Let’s play ball!

2. Big Ten Men’s Hockey - the NCAA Frozen Four will consist of three B1G teams and UMD (University of Minnesota-Duluth).

Notre Dame, who of note has no interest in joining the conference in primetime sports such as Football and Basketball, Michigan and Ohio State will be representing the Midwest in St. Paul. Ohio State topped Princeton and defending champion Denver to make their first Frozen Four appearance since 1998, they’ll see UMD who knocked them out of the tournament last year.

The will be Wolverines heading to the final stage for the 25th time; they already lead the nation with nine National Championships. Semifinal puck drops are set for this coming Thursday night.

3. Loyola ChicagoMen’s Basketball - the #11 seed Ramblers have roamed their way through the bracket, all the way to the Final Four in San Antonio. Sister Jean will be leading the way when the Missouri Valley club takes on the Big Ten’s Michigan Wolverines. Villanova and Kansas will tip on the other side of the bracket. Get the popcorn ready, should be a funfilled Saturday night of hoops.

4. Wheeling Park Baseball – at least someone around the Valley is playing ball. The Patriots (4-0) are ranked 6th in the West Virginia AAA MetroNews poll.

Four games in is more than most programs can say at this point. The weather has crushed the first week of prep softball and baseball.

5. Lebron James Cleveland Cavaliers- the man is averaging a triple double since February 1st- 29.5 ppg, 10.1 rpg, and 10 assists a night.

Can somebody say MVP? 6. Las Vegas Golden Knights - Sin City’s newest sports attraction made history this year by becoming the first ever NHL expansion team to reach 100 points in their first year of existence.

We will be pulling for them to come out of the West come Stanley Cup Playoff time.

7. Steubenville Boys, Indian Creek Girls Track - Big Red claimed the Steubenville Early Bird title last weekend on the boys’ side, with the Creek girls claiming the crown for the girls’ top spot.

8. Chase Yoho Bellaire Basketball one of the Valley’s gems, Yoho was All-Ohio on the court and in the classroom. Definition of student-athlete.

Who’s not?

1. Isiah Thomas-Los Angeles Lakers – the injury bug will officially end IT’s season, as a hip surgery on the horizon will bring the miserable year to a close for the once touted trade market figure.

The Celtics shipped him to Cleveland where things clearly didn’t work out with the “King” and company, the Cavs then sent him out west to join Hollywood’s hardwood scene only to have his short stint ended by nagging conditions.

Tough season to say the least.

2. NFL - at this point, it is truly absurd the amount of effort that is being put into the rule changes that will decide what a catch is and what a catch is not. Owner’s meetings took place this past week, and yet the average football fan still can’t explain what a catch is. Good grief.

3. NBA - with over two weeks remaining in the regular season, an embarrassing ten teams are already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, and another two teams probably will be by early this week. Be thankful for the Western Conference, at least there we can find a true playoff race. *report reflects time of publication

day victory over Panthers

By D.J. WATSON Nh Sports Writer

CADIZ – In theory, this past Monday’s trip to Buckeye Local was not particularly the “opening day” the Huskies had in mind. While a solid seasonstarting 6-3 victory can’t be complained about, the Harrison Central baseball program had a much different plan in place for the start of the 2018 slate.

“Unfortunately we didn’t get to make the trip to Columbus due to the weather, but because of that we were able to open up against a rival team on the road, and get the kids ready to go for the year,” Head Coach Mike Valesko commented following a week full of rainouts. e fifth year bench boss was referring to a team building trip that was planned for last weekend in the capital city.

Always looking for a challenge when constructing the schedule, Valesko had set up a doubleheader feature with Division II mainstay HilliardBradley to open up the year.

However, the two night stay, complete with an education laced itinerary and a slew of team activities, was crashed by Mother Nature’s harsh temps and damp conditions.

With the extended road trip no longer a reality, the Huskies refocused their vision on conference rival Buckeye Local.

Unfortunately for the Panthers, it would be a D-1 double barrel effort that led Harrison to their first victory of the season.

Sophomore Andrew Clelland, who is already committed to the University of Pittsburgh, toed the rubber for a five inning start that ended in five strikeouts and just three hits surrendered.

When Clelland’s work was finished, senior J.R. Heavilin took the hill for two innings of work that secured the save and sealed the victory for Valesko and the Huskies. Heavilin, who will be suiting up for Coppin State after graduating from the Harrison program, fanned two without putting a single Panther on the base-paths. He took the ball with a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth, and it was

a Logan Tonkovich single that pushed Clelland across in the Harrison half of the seventh, providing an additional late game insurance run.

“We did a good job of making plays when we needed to,” stated Valesko. “However, we will definitely need to play better as the season progresses,” he continued. Harrison took the lead in the top half of the second after Heavilin, who knocked a single through to center to open up the inning, worked his way around the diamond to give the Huskies a 1-0 advantage. e Panthers responded by plating two in the third, but the lead would prove to be rather shortlived. Free passes, paired with pitching and fielding errors would haunt the home team in the fourth, as the Huskies tallied up four runs to take back control of the ballgame.

Heavilin, Ronnie Bowers, Austin Chappell, and Caden Arbaugh all crossed the dish in some form in the Harrison half of the inning, and the Panthers would never truly recover.

In the batter’s box, it was

Clelland and Colson Dalton who led the Huskies with two singles each. Chappell knocked in two runs, while Dalton and Tonkovich accounted for the other two official RBI’s for the visiting Huskies.

In addition to the two cancelled games against Bradley, the weather also claimed the second leg of the home-andhome series with the Panthers, as well as a date with Steubenville Catholic Central at Mazeroski Field this week. at’s a total of four games that the raindrops have chased off already. “e weather has kept us on our toes, but we’ve been fortunate enough to get a number of good practices in due to our turf at the high school,” Valesko stated with a positive attitude. is afternoon, he’ll look to fill out his lineup card for just the second time this year, as the Huskies are set for a tri-action doubleheader with Ridgewood and Edison. e Wildcats will serve as hosts at their home field in Jefferson Lake State Park, first pitch is slated for 11 a.m.

Lady Huskies reserves defeat John Marshall

By ED BANKS

Nh Sports Writer

CADIZ - While the varsity Lady Huskies softball club was away opening the 2018 softball season in Connorville, the reserve softball team was in Sally Buffalo Park entertaining visiting John Marshall. Emmi Jones was on the mound for the Huskies, and her work gave the Monarchs a little taste of Montel Jordan’s, “is is how we do it!”

Although the two teams would scatter a few hits early on, the opening innings remained scoreless. John Marshall would air mail a hit to centerfield in the fourth, indicating that the outcome of the contest was gone to ultimately come down to offense and pitching. e Huskies answered and proved that they had brought plenty of both. ey would go on to win

their opening contest by a score of 4-3.

An example of good defense came early in the second inning when Lexi Ferguson threw down two Monarchs with an unassisted tag at second, and then went on to throw down a Monarch at first. e entire infield for the Huskies was in a winning mood. Good fielding and throwing would give the Huskies another edge throughout.

On the other side of the ball, timely hits came from Maria Roush, Rachel Myers, who was 2 for 2, and Jones. “It was a good close game,” said coach Scott Porter. “Our kids never gave up and played the game one inning at a time. I have to give them credit for how they came on with timely hits, and how they used good plays defensively,” he added.

Lady Huskies softball suffers loss in 2018 debut

By ALEX WILEY Nh Sports Writer

CONNORVILLE: A late hitting rally by the Harrison Central’s Lady Huskies wasn’t enough to give the varsity softball team a season opening victory against the hosting Buckeye Local Panthers.

In a defensive struggle that carried the two clubs to a 3-3 tie going into the last inning, Harrison’s Peshyek hammered a home run that sprung a pair of scores for the Huskies to put them in a winning position.

However, in their share of the inning, the Panthers put on a rally of their own to claim a 6-5 victory. Overall, the Huskies

out-hit the Panthers 12-8.

According to head coach Darrin Young, the hitting was there but the defense suffered a little. “We hit well,” Young said. “However we just didn’t make the routine plays to get the outs when we needed them.” e Huskies gave their best in the seventh, but were not able to pull out the win. Young hit a

double in the second inning to score a run; Boyer led all Husky hitters with four hits and Peshyek added a single to her night’s work. All combined, Harrison Central had 12 hits in the game. From the mound, Cassie Kuhn gave up six runs and a total of eight hits over six innings of work to claim the loss.

Harrison futsal team ends successful season at 11-5 A team of Harrison Central students went 11-5 in the Steubenville YMCA Futsal League.

Futsal is an indoor version of soccer playing six on six. e key to scoring on the much smaller pitch is quick passing and superior footwork. ey played teams from Steubenville, Indian Creek, Central Catholic, Edison Local, Brooke, and Weir. e Team says goodbye to Senior Captains Lucas Puskarich and Corey Dunlap and wish them luck next year in college. e remaining team looks forward to another competitive season next Winter Season.

Team members are: Jesse Giffin, Eric Leech, George Novotny, Ben Puskarich, Jack Novotny, Dylan Holmes, Jacob Arnold, Lucas Puskarich, Bryce Arbaugh. Not shown: Corey Dunlap, Dillan Waggoner, and Coach Matt Puskarich

Basketball Teams, the District V’s Coaches Association honored the pair, along with junior Husky Sydney Starr, with selections to their distinguished clubs. he District V- East/West contest was played on Friday,

March 30, in Ghanadenhutten, with the girls game starting at 6:30 and the boys game followed.

Lyndsey McGowan Hennis “My favorite part of the trip was meeting our representatives. I enjoyed learning their stances on issues like gun violence, global warming, and the opioid epidemic.”

Lucas Puskarich “Close Up gave me an experience that was like no other and pushed me to become more involved in politics through a better understanding of how our government works,” said Bailey Eberhart.

Are your home furnishings good for the planet and your family?

8

(StatePoint) More consumers are interested in selecting products that are good for the planet and their families, than ever before. While many understand what organic food is, confusion still exists when it comes to home furnishings.

Simply put, what you bring into your home directly impacts the health and welfare of your family in terms of exposure to chemicals of concern, indoor air quality and comfort.

With the deluge of products claiming to be environmentally sustainable, it’s important to know what to look for when furnishing your home. Here are some considerations to bear in mind.

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | REAL ESTATE/HOME IMPROVEMENT

- Does it contain harmful chemicals? While the EPA has phased out the use of some of the most potentially harmful chemicals, some chemical variations continue to be used in upholstery and fabrics. To get a sense of what’s good and what may be bad, consult resources like the U.S. EPA’s Chemicals of Concern List and the Living Future Institute’s Red List.

Remember that while some degree of chemical treatment may be needed to make fabrics fire-retardant or stain-repellent, in many instances, green manufacturers employ minimal chemistry or have found natural solutions to achieve these results.

- Am I considering all the options? Fortunately, top fabric and furniture manufacturers have developed more sustainable alternatives. For example, Milliken & Company recently launched Breathe by Milliken, an eco-elegant collection of fluorine-free performance fabrics available in both natural and recycled polyester fibers.

Furniture retailers are offering sustainably-sourced, locallymade, and organic furniture and fabric options, while big box retailers like Target have developed sustainability scoring requirements on products to help educate and empower consumers.

- Where does it come from? A

sofa made from natural materials may not be a truly green choice. Consider the supply chain, too. Are natural raw materials sustainably grown and harvested? Are they made by companies with reputations for environmental stewardship according to green manufacturing principles?

- What’s it made of? Select natural fibers or materials like cotton or wood whenever possible. However, if you prefer man-made fibers, ask about items made from recycled or post-consumer materials. For example, Breathe by Milliken polyester fabrics are made from recycled plastic, and each sofa upholstered in this fabric diverts

90-150 plastic bottles from landfills.

- How long will it last?

Durability is sustainability.

Whether wood, molded plastic or fabric, quality household items will remain in use, rather than in the landfill.

- What happens when I’m done with it? Opt for materials that consist of recycled or reused materials and/or those that biodegrade or can be easily recycled.

- Have green claims been validated? “Greenwashing,” or making untrue or inaccurate sustainability claims, is a pervasive problem across a range of industries.

Opt for brands with thirdparty certifications. For example, products achieving GREENGUARD Gold certification have been screened to ensure they don’t contain any of the more than 10,000 chemicals commonly known to pollute the air we breathe.

Earning this certification means these fabrics meet the world’s most rigorous chemical emission standards, improving indoor air quality and overall health.

The Sustainable Furnishings Council is another excellent consumer resource.

Are common myths holding you back from buying a home?

(StatePoint) Aspirations of home ownership is strong for America’s families, yet findings from the fifth annual America at Home survey from NeighborWorks America

include many misconceptions about what it takes to buy a home: • e average millennial mistakenly thinks the minimum required down payment is 21.6 percent.

• Approximately 73 percent of all consumers and 62 percent of millennials said they were not aware of or are unsure about down payment assistance programs in their communities for middle-income homebuyers.

• Seventy percent of adults feel they don’t have enough money saved for a down payment.

Experts believe that confusion down payment about requirements and lack of awareness about assistance programs are holding back many people from pursuing “Before homeownership. deciding if owning a home is right for you, take time to understand your down payment options, and separate myths from facts,” says Freddie Mac Vice President, Danny Gardner.

For example, the average down payment among first-time homebuyers in 2016 was just 6 percent and, for repeat buyers, just 14 percent. What’s more, mortgage options, such as

Freddie Mac’s Home Possible Mortgages, make it possible for qualified borrowers to put down as little as 3 percent.

If your down payment is less than 20 percent with a conventional loan, you’ll have to pay private mortgage insurance, an added insurance policy that protects the lender if you are unable to pay your mortgage.

However, mortgage rates -despite their rise in recent years - remain at historic lows, providing you with a significant advantage. ere are also millions of dollars available for down payment assistance. A great place to start is right where you live.

Many state, county, and city governments provide financial assistance for people in their communities who are well qualified and ready for homeownership.

Tips on how to protect your house from fire

Saturday, March 31, 2018

(NAPS)—House fires are more common than many people think.

No matter the season, it’s important to ensure homes and families are well protected. erefore, there’s no time like the present to evaluate the different fire-safety measures in place around your house. If you happen to be remodeling, it’s an ideal time to bolster your home’s fire safety.

- Be sure you have working smoke detectors on all floors of your home and outside sleeping areas. Check

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | REAL ESTATE/HOME IMPROVEMENT

them once a month, clean them every six months and change the batteries at least once a year. Better yet, opt for newer units that come with a 10-year, no-maintenance battery.

- Select appliances with an automatic shutoff.

- Never overload electrical outlets or use extension cords to replace additional outlets. When remodeling or undertaking repairs, make sure you engage a licensed electrician for

all electrical work.

- Install ground fault circuit interrupters and arc fault circuit interrupters in kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor areas, unfinished basements and crawl spaces, garages, boathouses, laundry areas, and within 6 feet of sinks, bathtubs and shower stalls. ese devices have helped save thousands of lives from fire or shock since being introduced.

- Check your residential fire extinguisher and ensure it is stored

in an easy-to-access location in case of emergency.

- Create a fire escape plan for your home and practice it twice a year with all family members.

- Opt for noncombustible building materials, whenever possible.

Insulation is especially important. A stone wool insulation, such as Rockwool Safe ’n’ Sound, is the preferred choice of many professional builders. Because of its ability to resist fire up to 1,177˚F—

higher than the temperature of a typical house fire—it stays in place to protect escape routes and buys occupants precious extra time to escape. Made from stone, its inorganic composition means it will not produce toxic smoke or harmful gases when exposed to fire. at’s a key feature, because smoke, not flames, is the leading cause of firerelated fatalities.

Homes today burn faster than in years past because they’re loaded

with more synthetic materials. In the event of a fire, occupants typically have just a few minutes to get themselves to safety. Careful selection of building materials and implementing both fire prevention devices and measures can make all the difference when every second counts.

What to know about your drinking water (StatePoint) Having clean, uncontaminated water to drink at home and on-the-go is one of the most essential components to keeping your family safe and healthy.

Unfortunately, safe water is not necessarily a given. A recent study, published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that in 2015, nearly 21 million people relied on community water systems that violated health-based quality standards.

What’s more, the risks to your tap water are heightened during special circumstances like natural disasters and other emergencies.

To help ensure you are hydrating healthfully all the time -- at home, in your community, on trips or in emergencies – consider investing in an easy-to-maintain water filtration device that can be used anywhere in order to improve water quality.

One example is LifeStraw, first introduced for people in developing countries without access to safe water and for victims following natural disasters. e company now makes a range of water filters and purifiers designed for uses like emergency preparedness, outdoor recreation, travel and everyday hydration. e refillable LifeStraw Go 2-Stage water bottle features a built-in filter, and removes 99.9999 percent of waterborne bacteria (including E. coli and salmonella), 99.999 percent of protozoa while also reducing chlorine organic chemical matter and bad taste. Suitable for kids, the LifeStraw Play model, a 10-oz water bottle designed for everyday use, incorporates the same technology with a sturdy kidfriendly leak-proof design.

LifeStraw is available online and at your local Walmart, Target and Sam’s Club.

What’s great is this is also a company that gives back -- for every LifeStraw product purchased, a school child in a community in need receives safe water for an entire school year.

So far, the program has supported more than one million school children.

Keep in mind that access to clean water is a persistent and global issue. By 2050, at least one in four people is likely to

live in a country affected by chronic or recurring shortages of fresh water, according to the United Nations. This highlights the growing need to take precautions both at home and when you travel, and to invest in products that give back.

To do everything you can to keep your family healthy and safe, start by taking steps to improve the water you drink.

3 major home renovations that are worth the effort

(StatePoint) Building a new home? Overhauling an existing one? Here are three renovation ideas that will add beauty and value.

Expand Your Living Space Don’t let that basement sit unfinished and unused.

Substantially expand your home’s livable areas by turning your attention to the bottom floor.

Finishing a basement is an involved project, potentially

requiring electrical and plumbing work, insulation, drywall and more -- but the end result is worth the effort and expense. What’s more, some of the less technical aspects of this renovation could even be DIY-ed.

Before getting started, consider what type of space would most benefit your household long-term.

You may even be able to recoup some cost of the investment. For example, turning your basement

into an at-home fitness center means ditching the costly gym membership. Want to reduce time and money on your commute?

Your basement may just make an ideal home office.

Add a Focal Point Is your interior design in need of a little something? e right eyecatching elements can make a room pop while adding vitality to your living spaces. A fireplace, for example, adds ambiance and comfort while also creating a natural gathering space.

What’s more, new models pair the charm of a traditional openfront fireplace with the design flexibility of gas models. e Phoenix TrueView from Heat & Glo offers the convenience of gas without the glass, giving homeowners an unobscured view of the flames against the traditional brick or fade-resistant reflective black glass liner. An optional Bluetooth speaker system allows one to hear the fire as well as see it -- making it a focal point for the

ears as well as the eyes.

Boost the Backyard If you find that your household spends very little time in the backyard, figure out why. Is there a lack of shade? Are there not enough places to sit? Take a poll so you can diagnose the problem and take steps to correct it. Consider also how to make this space usable for a larger portion of the year, such as adding a fire pit or an enclosed, heated patio. Lastly, consider aesthetics. A bit of landscaping can make your backyard as visually appealing as your home’s interiors. is season, consider the renovations that will go furthest to boost your home’s livability, beauty and value.

How to care for your ducts (NAPS)—If your home is like most, it’s got a dirty little secret: your air ducts. rough normal occupation, houses pick up an awful lot of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust and chemicals. ese get pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated five to seven times a day, on average. Over time, this causes a buildup of contaminants in the ductwork.

While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air, they can contribute to health issues, especially for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or allergies.

e National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) has a rule of thumb: “If your air ducts look dirty, they probably are,” and that dirty HVAC systems should be inspected by a reputable, certified HVAC professional. at can not only help you breathe easier, it could save you money. When an HVAC system is clean, it doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the temperature you desire. As a result, less energy is used, leading to improved cost effectiveness.

You can get further information from NADCA’s free “Homeowner’s Guide to Air Duct Cleaning” at www.BreathingClean.com.

Scio homeowner claims theft by deception in bench trial

By JD LONG

CADIZ – In a rare occurrence for Harrison County a bench trial was heard Tuesday morning in the People vs. Ryan Hickey, the 26 year-old North Huntingdon, Pa. resident who defrauded Jackie Polito of money for work she contracted him to do, according to the indictment.

Polito, also a Pennsylvania resident, but who owns a second home in Scio, contracted Hickey for some patio work but three weeks after agreeing to the contract, Hickey had filed for bankruptcy. e charge was theft and is a felony of the fourth degree. e indictment, which was read by Judge T. Shawn Hervey included theft by deception and alleges that Hickey intentionally misled Polito and once he received a deposit of

$18,000, which eventually led to a total sum of $27,000 Hickey’s website and Facebook page were taken down and he no longer answered Polito’s phone calls.

Polito, in taking the witness stand testified that all Hickey’s crew did was dig a hole, which attorney, Travis Collins, who represented Hickey, argued that footers and other prep work had been done as well. e official name of Hickey’s former business was called RJ Hardscaping and Landscaping, which has five complaints listed against them on the Better Business Bureau’s website, all claiming deposits were paid but work either was not completed or not to customer’s satisfaction. All complaints were registered in 2016, the same year the Polito’s allege their problems with Hickey began. e total amount agreed upon for

the project was to be $36,000 where Polito eventually paid $27,000 in two installments.

Hervey stated that the possible penalties if convicted were 18 months in jail and a possible $5,000 fine. He added, though, that there was no presumption for jail in this case citing the F-4 level charge.

Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese described the case as “robbing Peter to pay Paul” in his opening statement. He continued stating that by the time Polito and Hickey met at a home show his business was “so underwater that there was no way that he could have reasonably thought that he could complete this project and yet he took $9,000 from his victims at that point.”

Bruzzese explained that in June of that year he took another $18,000 from the Politos and a short time later is when his business shut

down along with his websites.

“He had maintained communication just long enough to allow that $18,000 check to clear in his bank account, at which point in time once that happened, all communication with these victims had ceased,” Bruzzese stated.

Collins, in his opening statements said he didn’t think the state “would be able to prove that Mr. Hickey had intent to steal this money.” He called it “unfortunate” that the work was not completed calling it a civil matter.

Polito testified that she had a family event planned for the 4th of July, which the work including the patio, retaining wall, fireplace and a waterfall area were never completed after many delays and promises of supplies that were never delivered.

Near the completion of the trial, Collins motioned to dismiss the

case stating that the “evidence wasn’t sufficient to sustain a conviction in this matter for multiple reasons.” Among those reasons Collins cited some evidence was in the form of Hickey’s office manager, only identified as Scott and who was not present for the trial. Collins noted that Scott had access to the business’s bank account and was the person who received the $18,000 check.

Collins continued by stating there was no evidence that Hickey handled the money and that a “substantial” amount of work had been done before bankruptcy had been filed. He later stated that there also was no evidence of personal gain by Hickey.

Bruzzese argued that there was plenty of evidence noting Hickey’s involvement regarding work schedule, supplies and phone conversations he had with Polito.

“ere’s been testimony that the value of the work that was done was zero, or less than zero…”

Bruzzese told the court adding that Hickey’s business wasn’t failing but that it had already failed yet he was still accepting money from his client.

Bruzzese later read numerous names from a list of clients that paid Hickey for work that was never completed, which he said amounted to over $94,000 in bankruptcy claims. “e proximity of this bankruptcy and the lies told are the issue before this court,” Bruzzese said.

Judge Hervey agreed with the prosecution and dismissed Collins’ motion. Collins told the court that his client would not be testifying in his own behalf and offered no witness testimony.

Hervey stated that he would return a verdict “as soon as possible.”

Group works toward Forest Buchanan memorial

Saturday, March 31, 2018

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | REGION

12

By ESTHER MCCOY Nh Contributor

AMSTERDAM - A long overdue tribute to a gentleman who has been known by many throughout the state and possibly through the United States is planned for April 7 at the Amsterdam VFW building from 4 to 7 p.m. A pasta dinner fund raiser for Forest W. Buchanan will be staged by a committee of those who knew and admired the Amsterdam native and it was said "It has been long enough. We need to do something." e plans of Michael "Mike" Stone, chairman of the benefit; Virginia Glenn, secretary; Pat Wilken, treasure; and Tom Stone, Paul Bright and Autumn Day, committee assistants, are in high gear: with a checking account in place for donations, meetings with Amsterdam Village Council and Mayor Gary Pepperling for permission to place the marker and a visit to Commander John Gallagher of the Amsterdam VFW to hold a kick-off dinner.

All donated checks and money orders are to be made out to the Forest Buchanan Memorial Fund and a tax E.I.N. number

was established. Four hundred dollars has been collected to date, it was noted. e bronze marker will be purchased by the Forest Buchanan Memorial Committee, with needed donated funds of approximately $3,500, e committee plans to send all necessary information to the Ohio Historical Connection in Columbus before July 1 to be on the 2018 marker allotment." With approval from Columbus, the memorial will be issued, designed with our input and be received by our committee by the end of the year. Its meaning will be of great honor and pride to all who knew Mr. Buchanan and in the many reaches of our country," Glenn said. ere are many words and titles to cover the life of Buchanan who was born on June 2, 1905, and left behind many distinguished works on April 15, 2002, upon his death.

He was 96 years old at the time.

Preceding him in death by 35 years was the love of his life, Clarice M. McKibben Buchanan, know as Skeet. Mary Blanche Buchanan Bright and Clovis "Barry" Buchanan were their two children. Autumn Day and Paul Bright , who are

on the committee, are his granddaughter and son-in-law.

He might be described as an adventurer, big game hunter, biologist, botanist, explorer, founder, lecturer, naturalist, ornithologist, principal, photographer, researcher, sportsman, taxidermist, teacher, world traveler, writer and violinist. To name some of his life accomplishments and adventures, there is a list that is hoped to be printed on the marker. It starts with him being graduated from high school in 1924; graduated from Mount Union College, with a bachelor of arts in 1928; serving as Amsterdam/Springfield High School teacher from 1928-54 and Springfield High School principal from 1954 through 1971.

But during time from 1930 to 1976, he was a world traveler, hunting in Brazil, the Amazon and Rio/Negro rivers, the first white man in certain areas. In 1941, he founded a nature study in Jefferson County State Park; in 1943, he founded the Audubon Club, Chapter of National Audubon Society; and received an outstanding service award from Oglebay Institute in 1945.

From 1962 to 1976, he went

on big game hunts in Tanganyika, Africa; Rhodesia and Northern Kenya and organized the Pittsburgh Safari Club International in 1976. In 1980, he changed to a smaller species with the Ohio State University published "e Breeding of Birds of Carroll and Northern Jefferson Counties."

He was a guest speaker many times, received an Ohio Conservation Achievement Award from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and received the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History award in Jamestown. Michael Morgan, Amsterdam mayor, proclaimed June 2, 1995, as Forest Buchanan Day in honor of his 90h birthday. e list goes on and on through 2000 when he received an honorary award from the Ohio Nature conservancy and Kent State University for his discovery and preservation work at the 106-acre Stillfork Swamp Nature preserve in Carroll County.

Buchanan donated his African expedition bird collection to the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh.

Also, to the Museum of Zoology, at Michigan University in Ann

Michael Stone and Virginia Glenn, officers and members of a group to establish a memorial for Forest Buchanan, an Amsterdam native who put his home town on the map, are planning a benefit spaghetti dinner April 7 between 4 and 7 p.m., at the Amsterdam VFW. Along with the pasta will be a salad, bread and butter, dessert and a beverage for a donation to the cause. Chelsie Householder will be the DJ providing music.

There will be those who have known Buchanan through his many careers who will share memories of him in a "meet and greet."

Posthumously, he received the Forest W. Buchanan Explorers Trail dedication at Mount Union College's nature center. in 2006.

Now an Amsterdam resident who only spoke with Buchanan four times in his young life, is undergoing

his memorial, Mike Stone. His dad, Tom Stone is assisting with the project, as well as other interested citizens of the area. e younger Stone mows the gazebo area and keeps it looking nice all year round in respect for the man who made Amsterdam famous.

Area youth enjoy egg hunts and other activities at Sally Buffalo

By ESTHER MCCOY Nh Contributor

CADIZ - e gathering of youth ages 2 through 12-yearsold, were excited to see the lawn near Wallace Lodge at Sally Buffalo Park decorated with colorful plastic eggs that contained candy for their annual Easter event. is is a collaboration of the Cadiz Lions Club, the Sally Buffalo Park Board, and the Harrison County Association of Churches as well as many other groups providing the prizes, candy and such.

Dale Davis, wore two hats for the event; one for the Lions Club who was conducting a breakfast and later a lunch, and then one refilling plastic eggs for another crowd of youth going out to pick up the colorful filled eggs. Each

child was allowed 12 eggs and the contents were placed in the child's container and the eggs refilled for another age group. e three groups ranged from youngsters up to 4-years; 5-8 years; and 9-12 years.

Davis said there were 213 youth present in 2017 and he was sure there were more this year. ere were 18 bicycles awarded by a drawing, three for boys and three for girls in the three categories. Orme Hardware provided one of the bikes. Sandra Jones and Melissa Crawshaw were seated at the table where the tickets were given to the youth for prizes by drawing from three large jars. Kay Sedgmer was in charge of the event. ere was a bunny corner for pictures that was hosted by a Harrison County 4-H Club. Area churches had games, egg coloring,

decorating wreaths and coloring events to entertain the children.

Ava Huffman of New Athens loaned her 1-year-old Flemish giant rabbit for children to see and pet. Daphne Goffoli, 3, was petting the large furry animal while the Huffman Burmese Mountain dog hovered by to see that the bunny was not hurt or decided to make a run for the outdoors. ere were large white bunnies mingling with the children, some who were friendly to the bunnies, and some who hid their faces in mom or dad. such as Kolt Anderson, 2, did for the first encounter His friend, Reagan, 1 1/2, was a bit more brave. Lily Blanchard, nearly 2, was showing off her container of candy but didn't want anyone to sample any.

She was one of the youngest in the contest. Peyton Cunningham,

5; and her sisters, Ariona, 13; and Taylor, 3, of Adena, were busy coloring at the Association of Churches corner. ere were other activities as well. Lyndin Myers, 6 gave the 4-H Easter Bunny such a big hug that his ears flopped down in a picture that was taken. ere were Easter candies sold to the enjoyment of the kiddies as well.

Lyndin Myers, 6, of Cadiz, hugged the Easter Bunny so hard that his ears flopped over backwards. He was seated in the corner of the Wallace Lodge having pictures taken and sponsored by a 4-H Club in the county. This was a big hit at the children's event.
