Puskarich Library shows off renovations at grand opening

CADIZ – It’s been a long wait with COVID interruptions forcing the Cadiz Puskarich Library to close, which led to the eventual closing for major renovations beginning last June. But Wednesday, it all came together with county commissioners, Cadiz Mayor John Migliori, Dr. Scott Pendleton and representatives for Grae-Con Construction and the architecture firm of HBM out of Cleveland.

Ohio District 95 Representative Don Jones-

R was also present and spoke briefly of how fortunate to live “where we live.”

“Living in a small community is more advantageous than living in a larger one,” he told the crowd that gathered near the new front desk. He mentioned the shortfalls like a lack of adequate broadband Internet but raved over the fact that with a population of just 15,000 in the county, it still held three libraries.

“Our young people have a lot to be thankful for,” he said. Opening the ceremony was Director of the Puskarich Libraries Sandi Thompson, who spoke of the excitement of exposing the new look, the accessibility of the

restrooms and main entrance. And a lot was said by several of the brand new recording studio, which is situated in the back beyond the children’s section, which Mark Puskarich had a big hand in pushing it forward.

“It has served us well,” she said speaking in glowing terms of the group of trustees they have. She said it was a fine testament to them for not having to do any renovations to the library in the past 35 years.

Thompson introduced Stephanie Shook of HBM who she called the “guiding force”

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The somewhat rocky but short history of the Silver Spade Ambulance District (SSAD) finally saw the public’s approval in last November’s election by just 256 votes but not everyone thinks it has been running as it should.

Hopedale Fire Chief Mark Marchetta spoke before Cadiz council at last Thursday’s meeting to answer a letter written anonymously to him and “various other officials” as the letter stated, and signed: “A Harrison County Taxpayer.” The main complaint states that the SSAD is serving Jewett, Germano, New Athens and Harrisville “and various townships who were not included in this levy, and therefore not paying any taxes for this service.”

Another criticism from the letter stated that the

SSAD was equipped with three ambulances and possibly getting a fourth.

“Evidently, we the taxpayers, are providing you with an overabundance of funds, since you are able to afford all of these vehicles and employees,” the letter stated. “I am very disgruntled to be one of the few citizens funding this levy while half the county is getting your same service free of charge.”

Marchetta answered to this with a prepared ninepage presentation covering the district’s entire role in the community.

Marchetta also brought along some statistics and addressed what he said they campaigned on: An ambulance in Cadiz and Hopedale from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. with one ambulance from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. also in Hopedale. He said the total payroll was listed as $684,277 versus the 2.25 mill levy that was estimated to generate $624,575. He said that wasn’t enough to cover payroll and taxes but

New response to uptick in Jewett crime

the levy money eventually has produced even less than that.

“We come to find out after the tax revaluation that that number is actually gone down…”

Marchetta said citing the true figure of $598,394 after he conferred with Auditor Allison Anderson.

The difference comes to $26,181 and could shrink as Anderson said this week that the SSAD had been paid just over $309,000 with another half still to be paid.

Marchetta then addressed the letter itself criticizing its anonymity but repeated the fact that the levy funds do not cover the entire payroll in addressing the criticism of being overfunded. He went further by stating that the shortfall between payroll and levy funds was around $86,000 with fuel, maintenance, insurance and supplies the

JEWETT - The month of March has been alarmingly busy for police officers in Jewett. In addition to everpresent junk property issues and traffic offenses, crime seems to be on the rise. Council also motioned for a new ordinance to be put in place for small vehicle use in town and has decided to take unwavering legal action against the repeating offenders of debris-littered properties.

In March alone, Jewett police received 56 calls and reports completed, 95 traffic stops, 51 traffic tickets issued, four summons, one traffic crash, one domestic violence case, two incidents of driving under suspension, one incident of driving under the influence, one person driving with fictitious plates, one incident of vandalism, a 911 hang up emergency call, more issuances of trash/grass/junk/debris warnings, two disorderly conduct cases, two animal complaints, one threat of harassment, one child dispute with parents fighting over their children, one person fled and eluded and was caught, one verbal altercation, and a “pretty bad incident of child abuse,” Noted Carter.

“Everything has been completed on that child abuse case.

We went to arrest the subject, but he’s either not answering the door or has left town. An arrest warrant is coming and I’ll get a search warrant if we still feel he is in his house. We will be charging him with child

CADIZ – The COVID effects have not been a total loss in economic terms but it has been bad enough, especially on small businesses within the village of Cadiz. But the Economic Recovery Plan (ERP) is playing the white knight and riding in town with $619,795, which is designed to offset some of the loss in tax and “other revenues.”

Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski repeated at last Thursday’s council meeting what he said late last year that revenues from tax collections were down approximately $350,000 with another estimated loss of $150,000 this year.

“But, what we are being given is compensation for the loss of revenue and income tax in the past year and a half, so that is very good,” Andrzejewski explained. Meetings with the finance committee will be held in the near future to discuss how those ERP funds will be spent. He stated that the village has until 2024 to spend those funds, unlike the COVID money, which had a stricter deadline.

Regarding the soon-to-be vacant village clerk position Andrzejewski said only one application had been received with another late one coming in. He suggested council look at the possibility of making it a full time position instead of the original idea of it being just part time.

“Full time should attract more candidates and more

A lesser issue in Jewett is that of illegal small vehicle/ATV use.

Council members ruled that four wheelers, ATVs, and golf carts will now be allowed to be driven inside the village limits of Jewett under a new ordinance.

responsibility of the Hopedale Fire Department.

“So if somebody says to you that, ‘hey, they’re overfunded,’ you can factually state that that’s not true,” Marchetta told council. He stated that ambulance billing was “performing good right now” when Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros asked if the shortfall was being made up in that department.

For the year ambulance billing was expected to be approximately $300,000, according to Marchetta but much of that is eaten away by all the costs the HFD must cover.

“We have costs just like any other business,” Marchetta said adding that workers comp alone,

aside for asphalt paving. He commended the job the village street department did last year but didn’t have enough funds to do more.

Another suggestion was for village employees to receive a 2 percent raise. He said they’ve gone nearly two years without one and repeated the need to get back to the way things were before the pandemic.

“Since we’re getting the money to compensate us for the loss of revenue we could consider rewarding our employees for their patience and doing a two percent raise, or whatever council would consider appropriate,” he stated.

He also recommended hiring a person, possibly three days a week for handling residents with unkempt property who need encouragement to clean up on their end. This person would handle sending letters and other ways of communication with said residents.

As for the gas line replacement project that is ongoing, Public Affairs Specialist for Columbia Gas Raquel Colon via email last week, explained that there is still much work to be done.

“Service line installations are expected to begin by mid-week next week and will continue over the next few months,” she

stated. “Our construction and engineering teams have been working with officials to stay ahead of their planned paving project and we expect to have our work on St. Clair Ave, S. Main St and W Market St completed by July 1 in an effort to clear the way for their paving project. The project in its entirety however, will likely run through the end of August.”

Andrzejewski wanted to remind the public that the asphalt fill is not permanent but will be replaced with a more stable road service in the near future. Concrete can already be seen as fill for two areas along S. Main Street.

vehicles in the past caused them to be banned, but Jewett council agreed to a sticker ordinance that will provide responsible owners a legal way to operate such vehicles.

For $20, license holders (must be 16) will be able to purchase a sticker pending proof of insurance and the necessary requisites including legal plates, turn signals and a windshield and horn (excluding four wheelers on the latter two). The registration and sticker will be renewable at a discount of $15 each year following.

However, there is a caveat.

Ohio Revised Code states that any person driving a four wheeler or other small vehicle without the necessary requisites on a state road serve three days in jail and surrender the small vehicle, a stipulation that cannot be waived or lessened by a judge.

Main Street in Jewett is considered a state route.

Therefore, state police and local law enforcement could enforce this punishment on four wheeler operators driving on Main Street. The new ordinance can only cover roads within village limits, excluding Main Street, to align with state law.

Both council and the police agree that the state of some properties in Jewett are deplorable and have continued to devolve over time. Per an ordinance passed a few years ago, Jewett has the ability to fine a property owner every 10 days if a 10-day notice is provided before each citation. Village council concluded that, due to the lack of response from unkempt property owners, the maximum fine of $150 every ten days could be the only effective motivation capable of garnering a positive result.

comes to $26,000 and supplies another $25,000 then there is maintenance and fuel costs on top of that. He said ambulance billing has over performed and there was no guarantee that would continue, that, and rising fuel costs that are being seen at the pumps.

This is all in addition to numerous insurance policies such as vehicle and workers.

Regarding the number of ambulances he said beginning Jan. 31 of this year, two ambulances would be running 24/7.

“So, what we campaigned on and the service that we’re providing now is actually exceeded what we campaigned on. So we’ve exceeded the expectations already…” Marchetta said citing the success of ambulance billing and the fact that they’re “putting all the money back into the system.”

Marchetta said from January of 2018 to the end of 2020, 49.6 percent of calls were in Cadiz village and township (2,057) with 42.6 percent in Hopedale and Green Township (1,764). Just under 8 percent went to other areas during that time period and 11 percent for the first three months of 2011. Marchetta said that was at zero cost to county taxpayers because they haven’t received any tax monies as of yet.

“When the federal money goes away, which is going to be in August, then the levy money will become more prevalent that we’re going to use,” He explained adding that beginning Aug. 1, the SSAD would not be responding “automatically” to calls outside of their district. He stated that they would respond on a priority basis, for example if the call is a life or death situation.

Marchetta also explained the difference between soft billing (inside district) and hard billing (outside of district) where people inside the district are held to their co-pay only but if outside the district and the service is used, money beyond their co-pay would be sought “aggressively.”

The last item addressed was to clarify how many ambulances they are to have and it’s not four. A new ambulance to replace their “510” will be coming in the fall keeping the number at three. Marchetta said a third ambulance is staffed only when the other two are out at the same time. He said it was falsely reported that a fourth ambulance would be staffed. “…We’re certainly not going to staff a fourth ambulance,” Marchetta said. “If the people in the district are paying for a service, it’s my responsibility to make sure that service is available.”

Commissioners approve three proclamations

By JD LONG CADIZ – The Harrison County Commissioners were busy Wednesday hearing from several groups seeking approval for their proclamations. The first was Tri County Help Center represented by Chelsea Scott, administrative compliance coordinator announcing sexual assault awareness month for April.

Scott provided a history into the organization’s responsibilities such as being a mental health agency and serving victims as another arm of its services. Trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault victims fit under that umbrella of treatment represented by the color teal. They also serve Belmont and Monroe Counties as well as Harrison.

The proclamation states that men, women and children of all ages, race or religion are affected by sexual assault. And more than 70 percent of sexual assault victims are known by their attackers.

“Whereas, along with immediate physical and emotional costs of sexual assault, the victims can have such adverse consequences as posttraumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, major

depression, homelessness, eating disorders, and suicide, providing that sexual assault survivors suffer from emotional scars long after the physical scars have healed…” per the proclamation.

Next up was Deb Knight of the Department of Job & Family Services announcing April as Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month.

Pinwheels commemorating the month have been placed on the courthouse steps facing W. Market Street. Knight said 522 reports were recorded for 2018 but dropped to 380 in 2019.

She said 314 pinwheels have been placed on those steps representing cases, which she said meant that reports coming in are down.

“That was actually a nationwide phenomenon because of the pandemic and kids not being seen,” Knight explained but added that reports have begun to pick up again.

“We are seeing more serious reports, probably also because of the pandemic.”

She said 5 percent of 2020 cases were from emotional maltreatment; 6 percent for medical neglect; 42 percent from general neglect; 32 percent from abuse and 16 percent from sexual abuse.

Knight said seven reports each involved drug and alcohol

problems with 12 involving amphetamines and another 10 reported for THC (marijuana).

Also, four drug cases involved heroin, three cocaine and another 10 of various types including meth.

She also talked about an intensive case management program that deals with the drug problem that is “evidence based.” She said the program is currently in 52 Ohio counties called Ohio Start. It is a voluntary program with a peer mentor involvement who has been in recovery for at least three years and has experience with children’s services.

Emily Dodds of Family Recovery, who appeared before the commissioners several weeks ago announcing her organizations movement into Harrison County, also announced National Alcohol Awareness Month. Though, this was not a proclamation she noted the inclusion of alcohol in family issues, as well as child abuse and sexual assaults for example.

She also presented the commissioners with campaign buttons promoting healthy drinking and the prevention of alcohol abuse. She said Narcan kits are going to be distributed

in Harrison County off the efforts of the Recovery center, which already has them.

Dodds also reminded the

public of April being TakeBack-Drug Month and is looking to work with the Harrison County Sheriff’s

Office. The commissioners approved of all proclamations and recognized Dodds’ appearance.

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE JEWETT - Jewett’s new water system has come with its fair share of obstacles. For the third time since the new water system was installed, the Village of Jewett has been forced to estimate water bills based on prior bills rather than monthly readings as a result of broken meter reading equipment.

Village employees seem less than satisfied with the technical support offered from their equipment providers and are tiring of temporary fixes.

“All of the main equipment is running great,” noted Charlie Harris, “but the hand-held readers have broken multiple times...We have the data, we just aren’t able to read it right now.”

Council member Rick Meneely warned fellow council members that more estimation on future water bills could hurt residents. “Warmer weather can increase the need for water usage...and residents will get hit with the difference [in price] if we underestimate one month.”

Estimating has not stopped at water bills, either; Jewett is in the process of receiving estimates for repairs to essential water service equipment too. Not every component of the complex water system has been replaced, and the older parts are showing wear and tear. Both

behind the renovations. Mayor Migliore then spoke of how blessed the community was to have such quality and forward thinking people. He then provided a little history on how the library came about at its current location.

The area had become rundown with dilapidated houses and with the help of the Puskarich family bought and cleared the block. Migliore made a point that the property sale was sold for the same as it was bought and no profits were claimed.

“I thank the Puskarich family for all they’ve done for the community,” Migliore told the audience.

Jim Dodds of Grae-Con thanked Thompson for the work she’d put in and explained how construction lasted for seven months plus delays caused by aged windows and COVID complications.

“It’s not all boards and nails to this thing,” he said. Ed Bezak, who was the superintendent for the old library did the bidding for the new construction. When he came back for a visit and

aerators in the wastewater lagoons are rusted almost beyond repair. Council has agreed to have one rebuilt while it is still to be determined whether the other one will be repaired or scrapped. Both of these aerators are thought to be the original ones installed decades ago.

Council members expect to receive more stimulus money related to COVID as it is rumored that Harrison County will be awarded another round of funding, and though stipulations for how the money is spent are rumored to be lower, Jewett does not expect to be able to use the funds for these types of repair projects. Relief funding allocation will be decided once the exact amount available is known.

Jewett saw another long-term project through this month as the veteran banners were hung around the village. Mayor Dwight Busby would like to thank Barb Horn for starting the project. Clay and Jennifer Smith, Steve Stewart, Damien Kovarik, Ron Raber, Charlie Harris and Mike McBee volunteered their time to help hang the banners. “I would very much like to thank these volunteers for their work in putting these banners up,” said the Mayor. “I and the council are grateful to all of them.”

looked around, said he couldn’t understand why they would renovate but after seeing the results on Wednesday, he now understood.

Dr. Pendleton made an appearance and revealed a new memorial plaque commemorating the 31 who died at the Ohio and Pennsylvania Coal Company Nelms Mine, back on Nov. 29, 1940. All 31 names are listed and will be displayed downstairs in the Coal Room.

Thompson noted the Puskarich Endowment fund, the CARES Act and some capital funds that were stowed away that made the renovations possible. She spoke excitedly of coming to the library and being able to “travel” through research and make anything happen.

Thompson explained that the children’s section has now been switched to the side where the magazines and adult section was with the adult section now flanking each side of the new entrance.

“This library now is where anything can happen,” she told the crowd.

The library’s hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Butcher Michael Zordich says they hang the meat for two to 3 weeks, which makes it more tender and gives it a more dense flavor.

Good News

By Pastor Ken Staley:

Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches

Creed, Creedence and Creed-lessness What’s the first thing most people would think of when seeing those names above?

Probably two rock bands and a character in the Rocky movies. But the lack of a solid belief system (creedlessness) is the biggest crises facing churches, politicians and, yes, even average folks today.

There is nothing worse than moving the goalposts in mid-game to make things easier and that is something at which our society has become quite good. So, why do many churches recite the Apostle’s Creed in their worship service? Because a creed is a starting and ending point, it is an anchor. It doesn’t let you drift to the left or the right.

And, if one is bent on drifting left or right, you either have to ignore the creed, rewrite the creed or admit you are in apostasy.

Most people prefer not to do the latter, so they attack or denounce the creed as outdated, sexist, unscientific or a host of other accusations. It is short and sweet but very powerful…

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and everlasting life.

Amen.

Right out of the chute, we’re told that God is Father, not Mother and that He is the Creator not the evolutor. That the savior was His son and was born of a virgin. Scripture explains that this is so that the sin line would be cut, and that his blood would be pure when it came time to die on the cross.

Pontius Pilate wasn’t mentioned so we could pin the blame on someone, it was to prove the undeniable fact of what historical regime the crucifixion took place under. He was crucified, died and was buried, historical fact. Our faith hinges on the belief that He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father and will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Paul the apostle told the Corinthians that if Christ was not raised from the dead that we, of all people, are to be pitied because we would still be in our sins. It is utterly foundational to believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As believers, we then take comfort that the Holy Spirit resides inside us and that our local church is part of the bigger picture; the global, communing body of believers and that, through Christ, we have forgiveness of sins, can look forward to a resurrected body and to everlasting life.

In a world that moves the goalposts on a whim, it is spiritually essential to have an anchor, a lifeline, a creed to hold on to. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness. pastorkenstaley@gmail.com

Al long- ago friend of mine was Albert Brandon, "Big Al," as he was called. He died of Jan 8 a day after his 86th birthday. His parents Eva Edmiston and Floyd Brando were people I knew as well. His sister, Winnie Brandon Daniels and I were unseparable during our pre-teen and teen years. Al was named Man of the year at the Kolmont Church, where he was a member of the Men's Fellowship and Sunday School Class. It was nice to see that Evangelist Jack Ernest officiated.

I am up and walking much better after a visit to Dr. Scarpone. It seems I had fluid on the knee and the doctor brought in a big tube with a little smaller needle attached that he kept teasing me about because I was really tense.

Surprisingly, it wasn't bad. The sedative he put in last hurt more than removing 8 liters of stuff that looked like vegetable oil. I am happy to say that it is much easier climbing steps now.

Huskies Baseball off to 4-2 start By: D.J. Watson NH Sports Writer TORONTO- With the canceled 2020 season, Toronto’s 2019 Division IV State Championship still leaves them with the title of “defending State Champs”. In that same season, the St. Clairsville Red Devils finished their tournament run in the Final Four of the Division II bracket. Last weekend, the Harrison Central Huskies laced them up with both squads in back to back affairs. On Friday night in Toronto, the Huskies jumped out to a strong start.

After their half of the fourth, the Huskies led the Red Knights 83, and things were looking promising for a big early season victory for Head Coach Michael Valesko’s club.

However, programs that win state titles don’t lay their bats down at the midway point, and the Huskies found that out in a hurry.

The Red Knights quickly cut into the 8-3 advantage in the bottom box of the fourth, posting two runs to answer the Huskies four run top half. The visiting Huskies went scoreless in the fifth, and the Red Knights crossed the dish three more times to tie the game at eight with five full innings complete.

It is not very often that a game enters the sixth inning gridlocked at 8-8, and then ends in an 18-8 final. Unfortunately for Harrison Central, that is exactly what happened. As the Huskies ran out of defensive composure, the Red Knights piled on 10 runs in the sixth to end the game an inning early.

The final score truly isn’t indicative of the back and forth action that fans witnessed most of the afternoon.

Newcomer Treston Nemeth (’23) had a productive day at the plate against the Red Knights.

He was 2-2 in the batter’s box, with a double and a single. The Knights intentionally put him

on the basepaths twice, but he still managed to drive in a run and score another. With only one single, senior Sam Santille was still a big part of the offense.

Santille ran up three RBIs on a mix of fielder’s choice plays and fielding errors. Fellow classmate Kobe Mitchell was in a similar boat, getting credit for two RBI’s on choice plays from the Red Knights defense. As a team, the Huskies turned in eight hits, with Cabot Arbaugh, Caleb Blawut, Trevor Carman, Skylar Mazeroski, and Caden Jurosko all registering singles. The Red Knights ran up 16 RBI’s on 13 hits.

There was no time for the Huskies to dwell on the deflating loss. Just 17 hours after

biggest rivals. If there was ever a rebound victory, last Saturday’s 6-5 seventh inning comeback victory over the Red Devils was very much the definition of a “gut-check”.

The Huskies posted two runs in the first inning to take control of the ballgame early.

Four singles out of Mazeroski, Nemeth, Blawut and Santille had the scorekeepers busy from the go. The second frame came and went with no fireworks, but the third and fourth produced plenty of action at the plate for the Red Devils. With two runs in the third, and another three in the fourth, the Red Devils had put themselves in front 5-2.

It would be the seventh inning CONTiNUED NEXT PG.

Lady Huskies now 5 and 1; post fifth shutout

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - Before the 2021 softball season got underway, someone was known to have said that “the Harrison Central softball team would be the team to beat in 2021”. That quote was a tribute to the expected and known abilities of the team.

Playing to four consecutive shutouts and a recent loss in Martins Ferry, the Huskies remain in a very good position and are still the team that you should never take lightly.

On Monday night against visiting East Liverpool, the team racked up its fifth consecutive shutout. While still swinging the bats like ‘Ole Babe’, the Huskies racked up a 12 - 0 win over the visitors. The Husky defense has complemented the offense during each game and would allow but one hit on Monday.

Tristen Kovarick booked her fifth consecutive nod in the circle. After two successful innings, she would get a break when coach Darrin Young gave two relievers the opportunity to show their arms.

In her short night’s work, Kovarick sat four would be hitters via the ‘K’ route. On came Alaina Runevich to the circle where she would book three strikeouts in two innings.

Next, Sarah Touville took over the duties and ousted three would be hitters.

At the plate and during the second inning, the Huskies

would open the offense and blow up an already three-run advantage. Some of the five additional runs during the frame came from a one-run double by Lizzy Clelland and a two-run single by Jeanna Young.

By game’s end Young would be credited with five RBIs. Danyel Beadling would get credit for three RBIs, and Cami Basich would have two successful at bats.

Tuesday evening the Huskies were in Martins Ferry to take on the Lady Purple Riders. It was there that the Huskies registered their first loss of the season.

Beadling had the squad on the board in the first inning when she knocked in a waiting Maddy Butler who scored. A second run

would come in the third via errors by the hosts. Kovarick would take the loss behind four Ks and a pair of free passes.

Touville would come on in the sixth, and would not strike anyone out, nor walk anyone.

The game carried a lopsided score (8 - 2) into the last frame where the Huskies tried to mount a comeback but fell short by one run for a tie and extra innings. Butler had two singles, Beadling a single with a run attached, Young was credited with a single with a pair of RBIs, and Ferguson homered and was credited with three RBIs. The Riders would claim the win by a score of 8 - 7.

Mitchell named State Div. III Player of the Year

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - On Monday, Harrison Central’s Kobe Mitchell was named the Division III - Ohio Player of the Year. The recognition for his efforts came from the Ohio Prep School Sports Writer’s Association.

Before breaking into his high school basketball career, Mitchell cut his teeth, so to speak, in the Jewett Community Center’s Biddy Basketball League. It was there that his abilities in the sport were first exhibited and recognized by the public.

Through junior high school career, Mitchell grew into a team leader, while pacing the Huskies during both seasons.

Once in high school, the game

for Mitchell took wings. His abilities were displayed throughout the valley and his reputation in the sport continued to grow. As a junior, all bets were off. It is safe to say that every school the Huskies played had a game plan for Mitchell. Whether a double or triple team was applied, he was still able to score. Not much has been said about his ability to rebound, but those who coached him and those who played against him, can tell you stories about his all-around abilities.

His senior year is one for the record books and his personal journals. He would complete the 2020-21 season with 2421 points in his career; that alone is a major accomplishment. As far as the scoring records in the state, Mitchell would sprinkle

his resumé by earning a 15th place overall on the list. In addition, his scoring mark now places him as fourth all-time in the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC).

With all of that said, Mitchell’s basketball career paid him the dividends he deserved. He will further his basketball career at Division I Akron University as a Zip. Kobe is the son of DeWayne and Tonya Mitchell of Cadiz.

Like the responsible person he is, Mitchell credited his abilities and drive to succeed to the support of his parents.

Mitchell said that he would not have been where he is now if not for his mother who was not only his biggest supporter, but his transportation to all the AAU practices and tournaments.

FROM PREVIOUS

before either team crossed the plate again, and it was all Huskies when the runs started going up on the board.

Similar to the season opening victory over Buckeye Local, a wild sequence of events capped off what was a wild four run last inning comeback.

Some pitching struggles put Jurosko and Mazeroski on the bags, Mitchell then brought them home with a double to centerfield that made it 5-4.

Blawut went to center with a single in the very next at bat that scored Mitchell and with the score now reading 5-5, it was nearly time for the unpredictable. A free pass on balls put Santille on first, and with Arbaugh at the dish, a wild pitch strike three made its way past the catcher. As Arbaugh legged his way down the line, Blawut was on a horse from second base. The throw went to

first, but Blawut was simultaneously closing in on home plate and the return throw wouldn’t be in time as the Huskies pulled off the thriller.

Blawut not only provided the run needed to clinch the comeback, he also hurled a complete game one-hitter from the mound. In 11.2 innings pitched so far this season, Blawut (2-0) has a 0.00 ERA, and has only surrendered two hits.

“We have been really fortunate with the weather to get outside and get some games played. The depth of our pitching has been tested and we’ve again been fortunate to get great starts from our starters to keep our arms fresh. Our at bats have been very productive and we’re starting to hit the ball like we’re capable of.

We need to keep improving on our base-running and fielding or it’s going to catch up to us quickly,” stated Head Coach Mike Valesko.

Valekso hasn’t shied away from the fact that his guys need to sharpen up on the base paths and on the defensive side of the ball. In many instances against Toronto, the mental aspect of the game really haunted the Huskies.

A two game split with Buckeye Eight South Division contender East Liverpool followed the two games with Toronto and St. Clairsville. On Monday night at Mazeroski Field the Huskies ended things early in a 12-2 five inning triumph. Trace Rutter went the distance for the victory on the mound, striking out nine Potters, while giving up five hits.

Wednesday night, the Potters came out on top 6-3 to cap off the home and home series.

The Huskies will see Steubenville, Beaver Local, and heavyweight Oregon Clay (at Toronto) to close out this week’s action.

County holds steady against COVID

By JD LONG CADIZ – Once again, Harrison County saw COVID19 cases held to single digits for the fifth consecutive week and for the third straight week, the county reported just six cases in a single week, according to Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome.

Rhome spoke before the commissioners Wednesday and stated the cases they’re seeing are less severe and no hospitalizations “anytime recently.”

“Even the cases that we see are not nearly as bad,” Rhome said.

Concerning the state of Ohio

cases have seen an uptick since flattening out in mid-March.

He said it wasn’t necessarily alarming but it was something they were keeping their eye on in regards to the county situation.

Rhome noted that neighboring counties of Monroe and Noble have had upwards of 400 more cases than Harrison County. He cited the efforts he felt people were practicing near the end of last year in keeping the surge fairly low, except for a three or four week period where cases soared into the triple digits per week.

“I think generally, Harrison County compared to other counties our size did a great job

and still doing a great job at the mitigation efforts and you know, trying to slow the spread,” Rhome explained. He said there has been no upward trends in virus cases and encouraged people to continue social distancing and wearing masks in public.

On the vaccination front more than 300 second doses were given out this past week where he called it a big week. But that only deals with Rhome’s office and not what other entities such as, Rite-Aid or the hospital are administering themselves.

When asked about the uptick in certain communities around Ohio, as well as the rest of the world and if it had anything to

do with the segment of people not wanting the vaccination or was it a question about the efficacy of the vaccinations themselves. Rhome said he couldn’t answer for other parts of the world, but said he hasn’t seen anything significant regarding vaccine concerns.

“I’ve not seen any real concerns about the vaccine if anything, I see reports about the vaccine going the other way…” he said, referring to reports that it is reducing transmission of the virus “better than they necessarily had seen before or anticipated.”

“I don’t think there’s any question about the vaccine,” he continued, “again, any variance

out there they are generally finding that the vaccine is effective against them.”

Regarding some communities in Ohio seeing a slight surge, he said after talking with other health administrators, they didn’t know what was causing it but he’s not seeing word that people are ignoring the COVID protocols in great numbers for example.

Rhome acknowledged that there was a significant amount of people that are not and do not plan to receive the vaccination but encourages people to take the shot. He said it is a safe and effective shot.

“There’s not a lot of reasons other than your personal

concerns to not take the vaccine so, we want to continue to encourage everybody to get vaccinated certainly,” Rhome explained.

Total cases now sit at 1,056 with presumed recovered now at 1,025, which is up nine from last week. Active cases are down to seven, which is down from 10 last week. Regarding the tristate area, the United States and world figures, the fatality ratio has once again remained the same except for Pennsylvania, which improved by one-tenth of a percent to 2.3. Ohio remained at 1.8 percent and has not budged for weeks (New York Times).

Freeport holds first CDBG meeting on sewer system

By JD LONG FREEPORT – The major sewer project for Freeport is moving forward and the first of two required meetings for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) was held Wednesday night at the St. Mathias Mission Church.

Pam Ewing of RCAP moderated the meeting with commissioners Paul Coffland and Don Bethel in attendance, along with several residents.

Ewing covered the qualifications the village falls under for obtaining the CDBG grant with one of them being septic tanks, which is considered a health hazard. Another qualifying item is the Low-to-Moderate-Income (LMI) study where communities must be at least 51

percent of low to moderate income or higher, according to Ewing. Freeport currently sits at 60.1 percent.

She said once the order to install has been issued (after review by Hull & Associates) then the CDBG application can be submitted, which she said is several months away. Ewing touched on the numerous programs that fall under the CDBG umbrella but that grant is only one of several Freeport has either been approved of or is seeking. The CDBG grant is called the Residential Public Infrastructure grant worth “up to” $750,000. And as much as $250,000 of that sum can also be used to aid individuals in connecting to the new sewer system, if they qualify under the LMI guidelines.

And those guidelines she provided include a household of

one making $36,500 or less; a family of two ($41,700); a family of three ($46,900) and a family of four ($52,100). The range ends in covering a family of eight making $68,800. Ewing later explained that “typically” residents that do qualify will have all homeowner costs covered. The exception is when they have an overabundance of people applying and qualifying then the money would be distributed equally but may not cover all costs.

Commissioner Paul Coffland was asked to relay some of the experiences the county has had with CDBG money, which he noted Harrisville receiving around $400,000 and Scio for $500,000 involving various projects.

Ewing also touched on some other grants Freeport is approved for, which include the

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for $1 million. She said Hull has already submitted their plans to them for review along with the environmental assessment. But the EPA is the granddaddy, which she said could provide “up to” a maximum of $4 million of grant money towards the project. Freeport would be up for that in August of this year.

“By November we should know whether that’s been offered to the village,” Ewing explained. She felt confident that they would and added that the whole process, at least concerning engineering, was coming along at a good process.

There are other opportunities for funds that involve various qualifications and rules, as well.

Ewing told the audience that early 2022 was when they hoped to see construction begin, which

Cadiz dealing with projects, vacancies

By JD LONG CADIZ – Several projects were discussed at last Thursday’s Cadiz council meeting with Council Member John Vermillion discussing the Old Steubenville Pike project where a recent street committee meeting produced some ideas with one being doing the project in house.

“We’re going to try to focus a lot of our attention out there this year in spots,” Vermillion explained, “not a complete rebuild but in spots. The street committee felt they could do it in house.

Obviously, it would take a little bit of time…” He said other area companies might be able to help with some equipment and do some patch work to see how it turns out.

Vermillion also addressed the situation with two storm drains near the Rite-Aid and Starfire. He reminded council that the job had been bid out two years ago but it could not be completed because of a “financial issue.”

“Now this job needs to get done because they’re going to be paving out there very soon…” he said. He was then reminded that the job, because of the time lapse, would need to be re-bid. When asked what it would take to get the job done, Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski said they are still

looking to find the original bid specifications. Treasurer Amy Ossman felt that it should be in the possession of Mannik Smith and Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros agreed adding that they have already been paid for and it belongs to the village. Mastros explained that that bid is time sensitive because of the price of materials, for example.

“So, if we can find the bid specs…then we can just quickly rebid and get it done with,” Andrzejewski said. Vermillion said he was told by a state official that on May 1, curbing and other preparations for the ODOT paving project along Lincoln Ave would begin.

Also covered was the vacancy coming up in the treasurer’s office when Debbie Meadows retires at the end of April. Mayor John Migliore explained the dilemma they’re facing with one individual interested but not properly trained and another one who is but wants the position as full time, which the village had not approved. When Migliore asked if council wished to make it a full time position, no one responded in the form of a motion and the subject was dropped.

Vermillion told council what the Harrison Hills Board of Education had previously reported in that they would be leasing the Mazeroski Field from the boosters.

Vermillion informed council of the results of their meeting with the school board and their decision to sub-lease the field.

He said the school would be doing “band-aid” work on the field for the upcoming season.

“The school district is very interested in purchasing Mazeroski Field [and] they have some great plans, great ideas,” He explained.

“Basically, they want to turn it into a very small minor league field, basically a replica of the softball field they’re building up there now.” He said the hold up in the purchase is that the school is not sure how much land they want at this time. Vermillion said once that is decided they would again meet with the school and “go from there.”

“It’s great for the community and it’s going to be a beautiful facility out at our Sally Buffalo Park,” he continued with the added caveat with the school that if they were to ever give up the ball park that it would “revert back to the village.”

Finally, Migliore saw a motion approved for the purpose of advertising to hire a replacement for the retiring Andrzejewski. He said he would like to see Vermillion and Council Members Terry Capers and Chace Smith, as well as himself to be on that committee.

would last approximately a year and-a-half.

Other details provided included taxes collected up till now, are being held in escrow but the exact amount was not available. Coffland stated they could be provided at next week’s meeting. Ewing reminded everyone that the raising of the rates ($40) was to cover the cost of the design for the system.

Once the project is fully developed and they know exactly what the costs are plus, how much grant money was the village able to receive and “what the difference is that they have to borrow for that,” will provide more monetary answers to its residents.

“So that’s going to be the deciding factor in what your inuser rates” would be, She explained. She said the rates would be raised “at the time that

the project becomes activated.”

She repeated that that again will depend on how much the village would have to borrow.

Discussion continued over which residents on the perimeter of the project would be included and who would not.

Hull’s Cheryl Green noted the expense and talked of gravity versus a pumped part of the system, type of bedrock and location, which all factor in how far the new system would extend. She said the decisions made where some were left out was not to exclude certain people but only to keep the costs down, especially when there are only one or two homes in question, for example.

The second meeting will be held next Wednesday at St. Mathias Mission Church at 6 p.m.
