Harrison County due $1.5 million in gas, oil revenue Individual townships expected to receive $56,700 each

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Harrison County Engineer Doug Bachman revealed the latest gas and oil tax news, a result of House Bill 62, which raised the revenue and now the county is looking at an additional $1.5 million. Bachman added that each township is also looking at some of that money, which is separate from the $1.5 million. He said their amount should be an additional $56,700 each when all is said and done (confirmed by Commissioner Paul Coffland).

“So, 1.5 will certainly benefit the county [in] much needed road repairs and improvements,” Commissioner

Don Bethel said.

The County Home will also see some long overdue improvements to their elevator, as one of two issues that needed addressed and introduced by Director Ed Banks. He said, to his knowledge, the elevator hadn’t seen improvements since its installment back in 1974.

“The elevator was installed in 1974 and hasn’t had any major repairs since them,” Banks told the board. He said other than a few minor things done “it’s past due for some kind of upgrade.” He said modernizing the elevator allows them to not have to submit a new set of plans, which is only for installing a new elevator. But he said this modernizing of it would include

everything they want to do.

The other item on the list to the commissioners was to notify them of an IFSA (International Fire Suppression Alliance) Grant that was submitted for installing 212 sprinkler heads. Banks said it was a new requirement by the state and was submitted last Friday. He said all sprinkler heads are now required to be changed every 50 years and several, after inspection, were found to have corrosion on them. “…And now we’ll go section by section and try to do the balance and we’ll have to do it regardless if we’re awarded the grant or not,” Banks explained. He said the grant was worth more than $10,000.

Bethel also explained a questionnaire

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com ELLIOT COUNTY, KY – Ronald and Ty Stinespring were hit with a new charges as the result of 50 grand jury indictments handed out to the couple on Monday in Elliot County Circuit Court of Kentucky. Only two of the indictments were for Ty, the Cadiz schoolteacher currently on “approved leave.” Both of her charges are for “complicity to criminal abuse” but the caveat here is that it was ramped up to a first degree felony, as opposed to a second degree charge it had been.

The charges also refer to two separate victims in the case with the second victim described as less than 12 years of age. And both provide the description of: “…

By intentionally abusing (victim), a child of whom she had custody to be abused, causing them to suffer torture, cruel confinement, and cruel punishment in complicity with another.”

Ronald, on the other hand, was hit with a massive and shocking list of indictments totaling 48 (45 are felonies) that describe 10 involving “Rape, first degree by having sexual intercourse with (victim), a child less than 16 years of age by forcible compulsion.” The next 10 indictments involve “Sodomy, first degree by having deviant sexual intercourse with (victim), a child less than 16 years of age by forcible compulsion.”

Another 10 counts involve the offense of “Incest by having sexual intercourse and deviant sexual

controversial but wanted to let the public know that if anyone receives the survey that it is coming from the county commissioners.

“Commissioner Coffland and I trust that every government funded entity should be evaluated every so often by the people they serve,” Bethel said in a later statement via text. “Our goal is to not only evaluate past performance but to also get comments on how to improve our services moving forward.

So basically we’re asking our bosses how their CIC is doing and to help us better serve you in the future.”

Another item addressed were two bids received for the Foxes Bottom project were tabled at the request of Water & Sewer Clerk Brandi Simmons. Boarder Patrol came in highest at $574,650 whereas Stull Excavating’s bid was considerably lower at $234,800.

Shocking indictments handed down in Stinespring case

to all entities and “anyone who has dealt with the CIC (Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation)” asking of their experience with the HCCIC where participants grade them on a scale of 110.

“I have a little better understanding of how we can improve services to people,” Bethel said, “and how they have performed over the last two years.”

He described it as an evaluation with questions regarding professionalism, communication and responsiveness for example. “[It’s] something we felt appropriate since they are a government funded agency and rely on tax-payer funds…”

Bethel said and felt they hadn’t been evaluated with this kind of a survey up till now. He said it wasn’t anything

intercourse with (victim), a child less than 16 years of age.” Still, another 10 indictments involve “Criminal Abuse in the First Degree by intentionally abusing (victim), a child who was mentally helpless, of whom he had custody to be abused, causing her to suffer torture, cruel confinement, and cruel punishment.”

Rounding out the remaining eight indictments on Ronald Stinespring are one count each of “Sexual Abuse” and “Criminal Abuse” in the first degree with a “female less than 12 years of age.” Also, two counts of “Wanton Endangerment” where it states “circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engaged in conduct which created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to (victim).”

Another two counts involve “Endangering the welfare of a minor” and are listed as Class A misdemeanors. The other misdemeanor is for “Resisting Arrest.” One other felony is for “Fleeing and Evading” the police at the time of his arrest.

It was also revealed that Ty Stinespring was rearrested Wednesday night in Kentucky and is being held at the same Rowan Detention Center as Ronald where his bail has been raised once again, this time to $500,000 and $250,000 for separate charges. Ty’s bail was set at $15,000.

As previously reported, Ronald and Ty both list their Cadiz address as 621 McCready Ave. but Ronald also lists 100 Lytten Fork, in Sandy Hook, Ky., when first arrested on initial charges for an additional Kentucky Fish & Wildlife citation.

McPeak pleads guilty in Cadiz robbery

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – One holdout in the Cadiz robbery that occurred back in November, Jacob McPeak, at first declined the state’s plea offer of three years in prison. After all charges were tabulated Judge T. Shawn Hervey informed McPeak that if he chose to continue heading towards a trial and were convicted, he could be facing a possible 17 years in prison, which Hervey made it clear weighed against the offer of three years that he should think about it before leaving court.

Hervey also alluded to the fact that if McPeak were to decline the state’s offer that Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese would more than likely pull that offer and make it irrevocable. But after Hervey offered for him to take some time to think about it, McPeak and his attorney Travis Collins huddled together with some family members in a small side room and later re-emerged with his acceptance of guilt.

McPeak was originally charged with aggravated robbery, a felony in the first degree, weapons under disability and tampering with evidence,

Lincoln Day Dinner held to near full house

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Republican Party is still riding the wave that came crashing in from President Donald Trump’s surprising victory and the Harrison County chapter delivered another successful outing with last Thursday’s Lincoln Day Dinner held at the county fairgrounds.

Newly elected State Auditor Keith Faber was the keynote speaker for the evening’s well attended affair (Congressman Bill Johnson was unable to attend). Faber found the time to speak before dinner and addressed several issues with one being efficiency and how to get his office on that mark.

“Well, the first thing we’re going to do is we’ve asked for a

performance audit of the state auditor’s office. But we’re trying to figure out a couple of things, we have 800 employees, all of which do a really good job,” Faber explained. He touted his office as rated “one of the best state auditor’s offices in the country.”

“And so what we want to do is make sure we can use our tools to help other customers, our local government customers that some 6,000 that we audit around the state are efficient, more effective, more transparent,” Faber explained.

He felt his office could be successful in keeping local audit costs down. He said they were also working with local officials collaboratively on how things could be done in a quicker fashion.

Harrison County Auditor Allison Anderson, herself newly elected, said she and Faber met for about an hour earlier in the day. Faber reached out to her for any help he could provide in support of the local government here.

“We didn’t really discuss anything specifically,” Anderson said of her meeting but added that he offered tips regarding local government services and how to proceed in certain situations.

Faber said he’s had a decent

amount of interaction with Governor Mike DeWine’s office as well.

“Where we can work together we do,” he said of the governor.

Faber also said they agreed to have breakfast on a regular basis with other office holders. He said he wants to work with national state auditors to do a compliance audit of Medicaid as part of their single audit of the Medicaid system.

“Other states that we’re identifying have identified problems, that Medicaid eligibility, where state Medicaid offices that have people ineligible on the rolls. So, we’re going to try and get a snapshot of where that is in Ohio,” Faber said. “We want to expand our performance audit operations to do more performance audits in state agencies…”

Faber said higher education is also a target for those performance audits in hopes of making higher education more efficient.

“Right now they’re seeing 201 or 28-1 ($20 or $28 for every dollar spent on audits),” he said and wants to make that more efficient, effective and accessible.

He is asking the legislature to have the state pick up some of the costs for local governments.

“So we can offer those services without having local governments worry about the costs as much,” he explained.

Faber said they’ve also gone out and met with local elected officials, such as Anderson, on

how to do things better on what he called a “statewide listening tour,” telling them if they’re doing a good job and offering ways to do things better, as well as listening to their ideas.

“Some areas I’m hearing different concerns so I want to make sure we address those regionally as necessary but at the same time…the biggest thing we do is work with our local constituents.”

He explained some of the

actual duties of his and other offices around the state doing the fiscal compliance audits for over 6,000 local governments.

He said they also provide support services and training and support for local governments in their audits, as well as the criminal side when necessary.

“We catch the people lying, stealing and cheating and so I’ve got a great special investigations unit, and while it’s unfortunate, it does happen

when you catch people involved with government money and they’re lying, stealing and cheating and we’ve got a very efficient group that does that and when necessary prosecute them,” Faber said.

He said he wants to make sure Anderson has the full support of his office and their IT needs.

“All things considered, we have a great staff, a great office but we’re going to find ways to do things even better,” Faber stated.

Cadiz receives funding, addresses chlorine leak

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last Thursday, Village Administrator Ted Andrzedrewski announced the inclusion of “various funding” that the village of Cadiz is receiving for its wastewater system project, which he noted was mandated by the EPA. The funding is a combination of loan interest loans and grants, also outlined in the Mayor’s Corner of the New-Herald’s April 6 edition, totaling over $8.7 million covering April through July and August.

Also, Andrzedrewski addressed

the chlorine leak at the wastewater treatment plant suffered two Sundays ago. He explained that a chlorine gas cylinder had leaked into the entire building causing “major” damage to “all of the equipment in the building.” He said most and possibly all, of that equipment may need replacing.

Andrzedrewski said they are now working with the village’s insurance company, which will assess the damage through an engineer they are sending to inspect the building. He said they’re also working on quotes for the cleanup and have spoken to Westfall and SunPro about the cleanup.

“We are doing everything we can to get that plant back into operation,” Andrzedrewski told council but was then was reminded that the plant had never really shut down and is

still processing waste, which he said had been confirmed by the mayor.

“We’re working on getting things in order there as best as we can,” he said.

Another item addressed in his report was a meeting with representatives of Frontier Communications “to get an understanding of what the Village is paying for as far as telephone and [I]nternet service.”

He said there had been a large DSL line placed at the street department and the water plant.

He said they are costing the village $500 per month “for one computer in each building.” He told council they are looking at that situation as well.

Council member Terry Capers reported that two bids have been received for the removal of logs stored at Sally Buffalo Park.

His motion to accept a $4,500 bid from Millwood Lumber was approved.

Treasurer Amy Ossman also announced a donation of $20,000 from the visitor’s center (tourism council) to go towards playground/park board purposes. Council member Mike McPeak asked how close they are, which Andrzedrewski said things were moving along and they were “fine” regarding their standing for funding.

“The schedule shows it being purchased, put in and operational by…end of August, beginning of September,” Andrzedrewski said referring to a timetable that was submitted for the playground. He said there could be more donations coming in. He said the grant would be worth $100,000 “if they approve it” with the total project cost at $220,000.

New Athens approves renewal levies

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com NEW ATHENS – Without much discussion, two renewal levies were approved at Monday’s New Athens’ council meeting. One was for the police and the other for general expenses. Fiscal Officer Denise Geanangel told council that would still need to come back to execute a “motion to proceed” after the auditor’s office performs an evaluation on the levies.

“We’re way ahead of the ballgame, it has to be done by August but I’d rather start now…” Geanangel stated.

Geanangel also informed council of her results inquiring about setting up a direct deposit account for the village. She said there would be a $25 per month fee plus 20 cents on each transaction. She said she knows of other banks that do not have these charges but they do with WesBanco.

“I have no problems with you guys

The

saying no,” she told them, “I just wanted to put it out there that we checked into it and it shouldn’t cost like that truthfully.” Council member Nancy Martin asked what would be involved if they changed banks and was told it would not be much trouble.

They talked of possibly changing to PNC or Huntington Bank also because of past problems like WesBanco refusing to issue a card for the village, though, council member Mark Arnold said they had had one in the past. Giesey said they would like to eliminate reimbursement practices for things such as ink cartridges when someone from the village makes a purchase.

“That’s where a card would come in handy,” she told council.

Also, the second reading by Village Solicitor Travis Collins for an ordinance he prepared for the village’s new tap-in fees that were discussed in recent meetings took place. Again, for a ¾ inch line the new tap in few stands to be $1,500 (inside

corporation limits) and any line larger than a ¾ inch line would also be $1,500 but the customer would also pay any additional costs. Fees for customers outside the corporation limit is $2,000 with the same parameter fees for ¾ inch line or larger.

Village Administrator Tosha Giesey then explained that a “set up” (deposit) fee for new customers will be $40 plus a turn on fee an additional $40, for a total of $80.

Council Member, Martin asked about the village inquiring about grants and the need to make a move in that area. Mayor Joe Petro said he would make some inquiries.

Giesey closed the meeting by reading various council member’s terms, as well as Petro’s, which expires at the end of this year. Martin’s term also expires at the end of 2019 with two vacancies on set for Dec. 31, of 2021, though they had some doubt that was correct and were looking into it.

Farm Bureau celebrating 100th anniversary

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

The Ohio Farm Bureau, with membership included in Harrison, Jefferson, Carroll and Tuscarawas, counties, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It kicked off the milestone with its 100th annual meeting in Columbus to tell the story of its heritage and contributions over the last 10 decades.

Earlier in 2018, Ohio Farm Bureau hosted AG groups to discuss development of a soil testing education curriculum for farmers in understanding soil testing and determining a checklist of materials needed for the plan. And with other farming organizations in the

state, it was announced that an initiative be established to help farmers reach their nutrient management goals. This is just one of the formats of the 100year-old organization.

A commemorative oil painting was commissioned for the 100th anniversary. The original painting was the work of Dave Barnhouse of Richmond, former steel worker who is a self-taught artist, with many of his works about rural and farming scenes. The large, framed picture was auctioned at the Columbus annual meeting and was purchased by the Emerson A. Mizer family of Cadiz. Smaller prints are available, unframed for $125 and can be purchased at the Jefferson and Harrison County Farm Bureau offices.

Statistics show that the millennial generation, 34 and under, includes 257,454 farmers, with more than 20 percent of all farmers beginning keepers of the land and in business less than 10 years. And did you know that one U.S. farm feeds 165 people annually in the U.S. and abroad? Women make up 30 percent, (969,672) of the total number of farm operators. Farm programs typically cost each American pennies per meal and account for less than one-half of 1 percent of the total budget.

These are statistics from the "Our Ohio" magazine, sent to all who are or become Farm Bureau members.

The Ohio Farm Bureau has a local graduate, Leah Finney Curtis, in the Ohio Farm

Bureau's general counsel. She is the daughter of Tim and Sherry Finney of Mount Pleasant and a graduate of Buckeye Local High School. She attended the highest court's deliberations concerning the government being allowed to take land but refusing to acknowledge it.

When land is taken, it often goes unaddressed and is too expensive to pursue the case, it was noted. Leah was honored with an Ohio State Alumni Award as one who has made a significant contribution to her chosen field in agricultural communications and law by the OSU College of Food, Agricultural and Environment Sciences.

The Jefferson County Farm Bureau received a New Horizons Award for the Chick

Quest program held in many schools and at the Jefferson County Fair. in 2018. Jennifer Barnett, executive secretary for Jefferson and Harrison counties, attended the American Farm Bureau event to accept the award.

OFBF has worked on water quality, nutrient management, farm bill, dairy insurance protection, tax reform, opioid crisis, landowner rights, rural broadband, livestock care, energy development, electronic logging devices and orphan wells for years.

John Seleski, Harrison County Farm Bureau president, and Beverly Riddle, Jefferson County president, attended the President's trip to Washington, D.C. Beverly told about

meetings with Sen. Rob Portman, Rep. Bob Gibbs, Sen. Sherrod Brown, Rep. Anthony Gonzalez and freshmen Congressman Troy Baderson on the trip.

The Washington weather was bad from the start, it was noted, but all Ohio delegates made it through. These were Paul Dorrance, Ryan Conklin, Joe Steiner, Jerry Lahmers and Jack Irvin,who is OFBF's senior director of state and national policy.

As Farm Bureau enters into its 100th year it will continue the mission of working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities it was noted in the "Our Ohio" magazine.

Scio Historical Museum shows Easter hats

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

SCIO - They aren’t a "must have" accessory to an Easter outfit anymore but hats were once the most important part of an outfit.

A part that either showed off the facial features delicately or kept them more hidden on those days when the cares of the world showed on the facial countenance.

The Scio Historical Museum has an open closet that is filled with chapeaus from yesteryear or up to the late 1950s when hats were no longer considered to be an important accessory. There are wide brimmed hats, cloche, boater, pork pie, shell, bonnets, any kind of style that would suit a ladies fancy in the days of head decoration.

Mrs. Horstman told of her mother, Pearl Menkel, and grandmother going off to Pittsburgh by train each spring for some finery for the spring season.

Most likely there was a hat box included on their trip back to Scio.

The museum has an important rule for those coming into the museum to admire the hats that have been arranged so artistically, with just the right lighting on them; they need to be tried on.

"Many young girls will come in a try them on and turn around at all angles to see how they look. It is felt that a hat can make or break a costume and of course everyone is looking for a grand look," Dee said.

In visiting the museum, I could not just look at the lovely hats, some dating back to the early 1900s. I had to see the pottery additions, and many relics of long ago. I was given a gift of a St. Denis cup (and it was spelled with only the one n.) This was designed at the Scio Pottery, a prototype for America's first coffee mug. Dee told the story that Scio Pottery

workers would go to the shelves where these cups were stored, pour a big cup of coffee and when done throw the cups out in a bin or a big pile. There was no washing and reusing them as they were made by the thousands and cost only 2 cents each to make. In 1937, the world's largest cup was made at Scio Pottery and displayed at the Street Fair there. It weighed 250 pounds and would hold 50 gallons of coffee, enough for 1,350 cups.

It was the largest cup ever made in the USA and designed by Pearl Getter and Hap Miller I did not realize that for one of the Scio Pottery Employment Festivals that Pat Boone visited the village. He was just starting out and wasn't the sensation that he later became.

Lew Reese sure started a sensation when he began the pottery and held fabulous employee parties each year. It was a day long celebration held at the Scio School football stadium. There was music, food, prizes and entertainment for all employees and the public. And Stan Scott was master of ceremonies as well.

Lew died in 1952 and his brother, Scott, took over the presidency until his death in 1966.

His son, Richard Reese, assumed the leadership until his death. The pottery closed in 1985 because of foreign competition and high gas costs.

All this could not have happened after 1947 when the pottery caught fire and the town's people came together, with help from Weirton Steel and many other industries, to rebuild and reopen it in 62 days. The film on this happening was shown during the pottery's 37th anniversary. It showed how much the town and surrounding areas loved the Reese brothers and their work.

Harrison County ranked fastest growing Ohio economy Harrison County has been identified as the fastest-growing local economy in Ohio, according to a recent analysis by financial news source Wall St. 24/7. The county recorded a 129.5 percent gross domestic product growth rate from 2012 to 2015, and a GDP amount of $732.2 million. Manufacturing was found to be the fastest-growing industry.

Wall St. 24/7 used Bureau of Labor Statistics employment data to analyze and identify the fastestgrowing industry in each state, and information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis to calculate the change in real GDP during that time period.

Harrison County sits at the northeast hub of the U.S. petrochemical industry, and has seen tremendous economic growth in the

past several years. The industry has provided new jobs, an improved infrastructure and an increase in tax revenues to the county.

Between 2010 and 2015, $11 million in taxes were generated in Harrison County, and $31.4 million was spent to build or improve 54.75 miles of road. In late summer of 2018, EmberClear Corp. of Houston TX, developer of the $1 billion Harrison Power LLC power plant that is set to break ground in 2019, agreed to donate $31 million over the next 15 years to schools and government entities in the county.

The news came as no surprise to Nicholas A. Homrighausen, executive director of Community and Economic Development in Harrison County.

"This is further evidence that businesses should be investing to

take full advantage of the new global economy in Harrison County and the eastern Ohio region. I've said it before — the growth in our area is laying the groundwork for an economic powerhouse of the future.

Right here in eastern Ohio, we find ourselves at the forefront of the new age economy. It is up to us to take full advantage of it, and this study from Wall St. 24/7 shows we are on the right track."

Commissioner Paul Coffland felt Harrison County was finally receiving some recognition that it deserved.

“Going back to the start of the shale play in 2012, companies like UEO and MarkWest made the initial investment in Harrison County. The county is working diligently to further growth with investments in infrastructure, active

participation in regional organizations, and careful planning,” Coffland stated. “We will continue to work for new opportunities for all of our villages and townships as we prepare for what we see is a very bright future.”

Harrison County was in the top four in growth percentage in the United States, trailing only Roberts County, Texas; Laurens County, South Carolina; and Doddridge County, West Virginia. Of the fifty counties identified in the report, Harrison was one of only two regions to list manufacturing as the fastest-growing industry.

Scio stresses importance of income tax filing

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com SCIO – The village of Scio wants to stress the utmost importance for citizens to file their taxes whether they owe anything or not. Income Tax Administrator Janeen Scott told Scio council at their Wednesday meeting that she is having “a lot of issues” with people not filing their taxes.

“Scio does have a 1 percent income tax,” she said. “All residents must file income tax [and] all nonresidents who work in Scio must file…and so, to taxpayers don’t tell your clients that you don’t have to file. I have a lot of issues.”

She and Village Solicitor Jack Felgenhauer agreed that an

individual wouldn’t have to file taxes with Scio if they lived outside of Scio where health and the 1 percent is taken out.

Scott added that even if you do not owe anything on your taxes you will still be penalized, she emphasized for the others.

“It gets very frustrating because you know, they’re supposed to file, they’re supposed to owe money… ” she said and those people will have to go back and re-do their taxes. She said that places like H&R Block, when hiring new people sometimes do not know certain regulations and exactly what is required in a village like Scio.

Regarding Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh’s report he said that the meter and the remote for the

Hilltop Apartments has arrived and will install it sometime in late spring or early summer. He commended the water department in doing a “great job” installing the 110 meters that Scott said are now in and being installed.

“The village has made great progress thus far,” Tubaugh said.

He also said that copper and iron testing is scheduled to be conducted this month for 20 homes.

Under Capital Improvement projects, he said an ARC grant was pending as well as funding from OPWC for their Phase II project on Second Street. Those funds, if awarded, would be received in 2020.

Tubaugh also informed council that the sooner they begin a new LMI (Low to Moderate Income)

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy

Smithfield is fortunate to have a group dedicated to sprucing up the village, the Friends of Smithfield. As told by Mayor Dianna Holcomb, audits through 2017 have been completed and budgets been adhered to, except negative balances in three operating accounts due to former village officials. The village is negotiating with the state to remove these balances and this will pave the way to remove its fiscal emergency designation, it was noted.

Due to the limbo financial condition in 2018, no progress was made in remediating the retaining wall on Route 152 that is crumbling away.

The FOS obtained a grant to rehabilitate the Emergency Squad Building, providing the staff with living quarters and a place for vehicles. A 4 mill levy was passed to replace the local levy for Short Creek Joint Fire District operations; that of Adena, Smithfield and Smithfield Township. This provides 24/7service with certified responders and the group replaces vehicles and equipment when needed. FOS was fortunate to receive a donation earmarked for mowing only in Northern Cemetery. Council had funded a small part of the mowing by village levy and was able to replace and upgrade some equipment and lift some headstones.

It is determined more projects need to be done. Membership fees and donations ensure these projects being undertaken.

In 2018, a $500 scholarship went to Brianna Pasco, Buckeye Local graduate who exhibited academic achievement and served in the community. Proceeds from the annual pasta dinner and Chinese auction are earmarked for this scholarship. Two teachers, Heather Long and Jennifer Aubrey were awarded Octa W. Foster Classroom Teacher's grants of $500 as well.

These types of scholarships will be awarded again at the alumni dinner in July. A speaker's series was established to highlight local history and John Vargo spoke on early settlers; Jim Dunlap, financier of the Mister Rogers movie spoke on his experiences there. More speakers are planned for 2019. The vacant lot adjacent to the Historical Association was purchased, along with one of three parcels, which comprised the old hardware. They were graded and debris removed.

Membership dues and donations assist the FOS to help the community and are needed. Dues are $25 for a year; $100 for five years and a membership of $1,000 is for a lifetime membership. Donations in any amount are welcomed and checks can be payable to Friends of Smithfield and sent to P.O. Box 73, Smithfield, Ohio 43948. There was a pasta dinner and Chinese auction held to earn money on April 6. John Borkowski, director and vice president; and Cindy Straus Grace, director and secretary signed the letter.

Did you know there are seasonal blue moons and that the third of four full moons is to appear in a season that happens about every 2 1/2 years? One will be on April 19; one on May 18, for the seasonal blue moon; and another on June 17.

There already was one on March 20 if you should have happened to see it. On May 7 a thin crescent moon will hang delicately in the evening sky. After dinner, look westnorthwest to see the moon and just off to the right, its friend, Mars. The planet will be a bright object with a slightly reddish tinge. That information is from the Farmers Almanac.

The Brilliant Lions Club is holding a pulled pork dinner on April 28 at the Brilliant Fire House from noon to 2 p.m. Curt Creamer takes care of the smoker to prepare the meat and ladies of members made cakes for dessert. If you can't buy a ticket in advance, come anyhow. There is always enough.

Boy Scout Troop 20, sponsored by the Richmond United Methodist Church, is hosting a fundraiser pancake breakfast from 8 to 10:30 a.m. on April 13, with the Easter Bunny and a photographer tor take photos. An Easter egg hunt will be held, rain or shine at the village gazebo and park area along Main Street and will start shortly after 10:30 a.m. It is for children through fourth grade. Prizes will be awarded in each age group.

Deersville Community Theatre will hold a Spring Paint and Sip Fundraiser April 13th. Tickets are $30 that includes supplies and light lunch.

Dinnerware was the theme of Four Seasons Garden Club's open meeting on March 27 at the Puskarich Library in Cadiz. The conference room was decorated with lace tablecloths with dinner plates from Scio Pottery and Steubenville Pottery displayed as centerpieces.

Since various table settings can be a class in garden club flower shows, the purpose of this theme became clear to the visitors.

A short history of Scio Pottery and its founder, Lew Reese, was presented by Bernadine Sliva and Sharon Gump.

Following the Pottery history Bernadine and Sharon demonstrated the formal table setting using Scio dinnerware.

Judy Workley explained her display of another type of dinnerware class that may be in a flower show, an exhibitional setting featuring a red and black theme. Concluding the program was information about dishes used as grocery store premiums given a generation or two ago.

Look at the Past A look back at the Harrison County Children’s Home

In 1884 the Ohio State General Assembly passed a bill which prohibited homeless children from staying at the county infirmary. Homeless children were thus placed in separate quarters at the Infirmary until their transfer to the new Harrison County Children's Home in the fall of 1891. The home was located on what is now E. Market St., the site of the Harrison Community Hospital. The farm consisted of 25 acres, with two springs of water on it. The buildings, except the barn, were made of brick that were hand-pressed on the grounds. The buildings were constructed by EM Long. One of the buildings is shown here.

“Mr. McPeak is I believe, 21

years-old, he is facing almost that much time in prison. We are taking in consideration too that he is a young man but that also cuts both ways,” Bruzzese explained, “because he’s here I believe, on his third felony in three years of adulthood…he’s been committing felonies at an

alarming rate and I think that cuts against minimum sentences if convicted at trial.”

After the relatively short recess McPeak changed his plea to guilty and was told sentencing would commence after the results of his Ohio Risk Assessment (ORAS).

Huskies Baseball reaching midway point BY: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – In the ever-so-short High School Baseball season, a bad stretch of games and breaks can seem like an eternity for programs who get caught on the wrong side of those unwelcomed events. For Head Coach Mike Valesko and the Harrison Central Huskies, it is unfortunately one of those stretches.

The Huskies (4-6) have dropped three of their last four, and the road isn’t getting any easier. Valesko’s teams always play a tough schedule, and this year’s squad isn’t any different.

The schedule still has boxes with Maysville, John Glenn, Steubenville, Toronto, and Edison to name a few. In short, the Huskies will need some guys to emerge as playmakers in the

coming weeks to finish with an above par season.

Strapped with a season-ending injury to their number one hitter in Logan Tonkovich, the Huskies have been looking everywhere for production at the plate. That production has been hard to come by, as other team leaders continue to battle the nagging injury bug as well.

Toss in the youth factor (the Huskies have dressed 17 different varsity players to date), and the challenges are mounting come the season’s midway point.

Of the six players who have suited up in all ten games, junior Andrew Clelland leads the club with a .438 average at the dish, four homeruns, and 15 RBIs. Sophomore Skylar Mazeroski is Clelland’s leading wingman as far as averages go, with the utility infielder posting a .292 coming into the

weekend. To summarize the Huskies troubles in the batter’s box right now, would be to point to the team total average of .218. Any coach is quick to acknowledge it is hard to pump out victories without bodies on the bags, and Valesko isn’t any different.

St. Clairsville finished off the season sweep of the Huskies in Cadiz last Friday at Mazeroski Field. The 8-5 setback to the Red Devils was followed by a 64 victory over Union Local at home this past Monday. The Jets posted a four run third inning to take a 4-3 lead, but the Huskies would respond with three runs in the fourth to take the lead back for good. Sam Santille led the charge at the plate with two hits and an RBI. Mazeroski earned the “W” from the hill.

Tuesday was a promising night for the Huskies, as they led one of the East District’s most

storied programs in Steubenville Big Red 2-0 through two innings. Cruz Capers knocked in Trevor Carman and Cameron McIntosh with a single to centerfield in the second inning, but Big Red would respond with a homerun-powered three run third, and the Huskies never recovered in the 6-2 defeat.

The very next evening in Morristown was one to forget for Harrison. The Jets evened the series bill in impressive fashion, flying past the Huskies in five innings with an 11-1 triumph.

Looking ahead, back to back games with Martins Ferry will open up this weekend. The second half of that series will be played at Mazeroski Field on Monday, and then Tuscarawas Catholic Central will visit on Tuesday. Both of those games have a 5 p.m. start time.

Thirteen Bronco/ Major Division scrimmages were played at the Hopedale School field, with teams from Indian Creek, two teams from New Philadelphia, Adena, East Springfield, Scio, Weirton, Wheeling, Mt.

JEWETT - The Jewett Wildcat Community Center recently crowned their 2019 champions.

Entering center stage for the championship game were team Bandits and team Lakers. Both teams plowed a victorious road to the championship round behind outstanding performances.

With the opening 6 minutes leaving no room for speculation on the outcome, a 5 - 6 score

only set the pattern of things to come.

Hustling while on defense and sharp shooting on offense gave way to a ‘no-contest-like’ call at the halfway mark. Even at 12 points each, the teams went to conference and advice from their coaches. Returning for the third, it was another evenlyplayed quarter ending with a score of 18 - 18. All that remained ahead in the contest for the young athletes was 6 minutes of fortitude.

Still playing even in the opening minutes of the fourth

period, the only breaks in the contest would come in the final 3 minutes. Those breaks would come in the form of fouls. The Lakers committed two personal fouls that earned the Bandits 3 points, and another point came on the tail of a pair of field goals.

For the Bandits the hardfought contest earned them a 26 - 18 victory and the League’s 2019 Championship. For the Lakers there was nothing to be ashamed of. They played a tough season and championship game, where unfortunately there can only be one winner.

Lady Husky softball now at 9 - 2

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - Following last week’s 8 - 7 victory over Buckeye Local on Wednesday, a Thursday night 10-run shut out of Bellaire, and a Friday night 7-run shut out of St. Clairsville, the Lady Huskies were back in the office on Monday night to take on Union Local.

As of late, the Huskies have built a 9 - 2 record behind good pitching, a stout defense and a performance at the plate that has the competition scrambling to find answers.

Opening the contest on Monday, the Lady Jets failed to get on the board in their share of the first, but the Huskies couldn’t wait to show them how it is done.

Britton Positano got things

started for Harrison with a lead off single. Positano was followed

by Maddy Young who also registered a single. Sarah Touville stepped to the plate and singled in Positano for the Huskies first score. Up next, Kobey Johnson would get plunked and Kaylee Elliott would single in the second Harrison score. They would close the opening frame with a third run courtesy of Danyel Beadling, who drove in the score.

In the second, both teams went away quiet. However, in the third, two more scores would come from a single by Jocyln Pechek, Johnson scooting down first to outrun a fielder’s choice, Elliott also reached on an error and drove in a run in the process, Beadling drew a free pass, and Jenna Young singled in

the second run of the inning.

In the fourth inning, Union Local got the bags full, drove one one run, and a hit over leftcenter field credited the hitter with a gran slam. The hit left the score at 5 - 7, that is until the Huskies got their turn at bat.

Starting their share of the fourth, the Huskies got the initial lift from a M. Young single. Pechek drew a walk, and Johnson hit a 3-run homer. Not quite finished, Elliott drew a walk, Beadling drew a walk, J. Young singled, Lexi Ferguson single in a run, Positano drove in a run with a single, M. Young reached on an error but drove in a run and Touville closed the door on the fourth with an RBI single.

The fifth inning would end the contest, as the Huskies only needed one run for the 10-run mercy. Getting there Johnson singled, Beadling singled, and J. Young singled to drive in the final run. All total the Huskies score the 15 runs off 15 hits.

In the circle Elliott who has been a warrior for Harrison, got the nod. She would dish one strikeout, four walks and gave up two hits. She would be lifted in the fourth, with Touville coming on to finish. Touville would have three strikeouts, one walk and gave up two hits.

Huntington Bank teams up with Harrison Career Center

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Wednesday morning the Harrison Career Center (HCC) was full of action with the entire concourse filled with students lining up for some financial lessons given by the team from Huntington Bank.

The students were given a paper with a random financial situation and the students had to make decisions based on the numbers they were given, such as income, credit score, family situation and anything that would represent a real life situation.

The exercise was called “Reality Day” and explained by Director of Communication Outreach Carrie Rosenfelt where everything was to simulate the “game of life,” as she put it.

Huntington Bank had a different table set up listing a different

situation where two representatives at each table would then confer with the student.

“All things in real life have to budget within their own financial numbers,” Rosenfelt explained.

She said the exercise was born out of several different programs they were running.

“We believe our Reality Days Program is an ideal fit for Harrison Career Center students as it offers a glimpse into the real workforce, budgeting and smart financial decision making,” Regional President of Huntington Bank’s Canton and Mahoning Valley Regions William C. Shivers said.

“We’re happy to establish this partnership with Huntington National Bank and Harrison Career Center,” Superintendent of Belmont-Harrison Joint Vocational School District Richard Schoenes said. “These are skills that will benefit our young people throughout their lives.”

HCC’s Rich Beatty said they had been in contact with Huntington Bank for about a year and said they “stepped up to the plate.” Principal Larry Bossell said they ran the program through their stakeholders and recommended the training for this. He said he would like this to be an annual practice but that hasn’t been decided as of yet.

Beatty also said through a press release that Huntington Bank wanted to provide something other than a textbook driven lesson but to “deliver a financial literacy program” involving a “sustainable, real-world impact for the participating students.”

Bossell said through the same press release that they were excited to find a community partner that goes “above and beyond” to exposing the students to as many, “positive educational programs as possible.”

Two charged with theft in office plead out

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Two Harrison County residents who were originally charged with theft in office, felonies of the fifth degree, pleaded guilty Tuesday in the court of common pleas. One was the curious case of Thomas McAfee accused of stealing from the Jewett-Scio Baseball Association.

Treasurer Dee Heavilin came to last month’s Scio council meeting asking for assistance and the use of the ball field behind the Dollar General store.

Council’s addressing of the issue carried over to the following meeting with comments referring to the theft but few details, as well as other issues the Association was in need of. Tuesday, it was revealed why the Association was hurting and by how much with a stunning $3,882.72 restitution amount agreed upon between McAfee and Heavilin, who was present in the courtroom representing the Association. The two were seen outside the courtroom sitting and conversing with each other apparently working out an agreement for the restitution, which was confirmed by his attorney Travis Collins.

McAfee, 30, of 90750 Jewett Germano Road, Jewett, with Collins present, was sentenced to his choice of 60 days of local jail or 120 days of home electronic monitoring. He was also sentenced to two years of Community Based

Control (CBC) sanctions.

Judge, T. Shawn Hervey noted that the baseball association recommended that McAfee not spend time in jail, which Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese confirmed. He said the restitution and conviction were “very serious sanctions for his conduct” and that the state was satisfied with the agreement. He also acknowledged Heavilin present in the courtroom but said there would be no comment from the Baseball Association. Hervey informed the court that he had received a Victim’s Impact Statement.

McAfee also chose not to speak when offered the chance.

Before speaking to McAfee directly, Hervey served up one last item to his sentence, which was six-months in prison if he violates his CBC sanctions.

Hervey acknowledged that McAfee had worked well with the kids as a coach and told him, “I was shocked and surprised when this happened,” and also acknowledged he’s known McAfee for years because of their baseball involvement.

“And I’m sure this is not something that you’ll ever repeat or ever intended to happen,” he told McAfee. “When you take from the kids it’s serious with severe consequences and that’s why we’re where we’re at today.”

McAfee was arraigned back in December of 2018.

The other case saw James A. Young reaching a plea agreement with the state where he accepted

guilt to a lesser charge of unauthorized use of property by pleading “no contest.”

Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese explained afterwards that Young, employed by Monroe Township at the time, had stolen metal stored by Monroe Township Trustees to sell at a later date.

Bruzzese said Young claimed it was a misunderstanding. The amended indictment was knocked down to a misdemeanor of the fourth degree but Young’s sentence was delayed in order to work out restitution.

Bruzzese said the trustees were satisfied with the agreement for resolving restitution and Young’s attorney, Paul Hervey (no relation to Judge, T. Shawn Hervey) said they were appreciative in reaching this agreement. The initial purpose of the hearing was to hear a motion to dismiss by attorney Hervey but upon the agreement withdrew that motion.

Judge Hervey explained that Young’s “no contest” plea was such that Young does not have to agree with the facts but that he is also not contesting them. The possible penalties are 30 days in jail and up to a $250 fine. Probation up to five years is also a possibility, Judge Hervey told him.

Young had been free on his own recognizance and attorney Hervey requested a modification to that so his client could leave the state for personal affairs and business, which Judge Hervey granted.
