County CIC hires law firm in response to commissioners

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation (HCCIC) not only held their first meeting since March of 2020, but they have finally responded to the commissioner’s own hiring of a law firm for the possibility of separating themselves from the HCCIC and Economic Development Director Nick

Homrighausen.

After the usual business was conducted on Tuesday, which was held at the Armory on U.S. 250, the HCCIC board moved to an approximate 40 minute executive session. When they re-emerged a vote was taken to hire Charles Ticknor III from the law firm of Dinsmore and Shohl out of Columbus in answer to the commissioner’s inquiries.

That was the second vote approved for an attorney with the first being to

approve the hiring of Erick Bauer to replace John Tabacchi who retired last October from the HCCIC responsibilities. This was related to one of the commissioner’s complaints stating they were never told that Tabacchi had actually retired from that job, though, they did know he retired from private practice. This, along with a lack of communication between the two entities is commissioners Paul Coffland and Don Bethel’s largest complaints, which they have said dates

back several years worth of frustration on their part.

No discussion followed on the matter but Coffland did comment following the commissioner’s meeting on Wednesday.

“I want to see Harrison County move forward,” he began by emphasizing he was only speaking on behalf of himself.

He explained his position on the whole matter that it’s about economic development for Harrison County. He said their goal was to improve on the

county’s situation as well as with the HCCIC. “As long as we can come to an agreement and terms can be right that will benefit the taxpayers of Harrison County, then we can move forward. I’m glad to see that there’s finally been some movement as far as the (HC) CIC and retaining some counsel and responding to our attorney’s request.”

CADIZ – After a call to the police department regarding suspicious activity at the BellStore gas station on Lincoln Ave. early this morning, officer Jason Simmerman responded where he confronted Stephen Tyler Casper of Martins Ferry.

According to Lt. Det. Ron Carter, Casper appeared under the influence of something and volunteered some statements, which led to his surrendering of some pills he had in his possession, and for which he had no prescription to match.

This led to further search of his vehicle where two bags of methamphetamines were discovered totaling 211.7 grams.

Carter said it was three times larger than what’s ever been confiscated in the county.

The investigation also led to the arrest of Abigail Motz of Carrollton, where the Cadiz police asked and received assistance from the Carroll County Sheriff’s office. Carter called the two “very big” in the drug trade.

Casper went on to confess to selling “numerous ounces (of meth) per week.” He said they discovered the two to be big suppliers of drugs to the area describing them as “major

Adena approves sewer rate hike

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

ADENA – They didn’t want to do it, and all council members repeatedly expressed their reluctance, but Adena on Tuesday voted to raise the sewer rates an additional $14.25 per month. But the vote was not unanimous as Council President Mark Anderson voted against the raise as it passed 4-1 (Council Member Roger Wallace was not present).

Anderson stated his wish for council was to wait one year then administer the raise citing the fact that the water rate had recently been raised and felt it was too much on its residents at this time.

WVU Medicine-HCH make it official

By JD LONG

jim@harrsisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last Friday, the Harrison Community Hospital (HCH), which was swarmed by WVU and local officials, was no more as it officially became WVU Medicine.

The blue and gold sign was already in place and the finishing touch was when the WVU Medicine flag was hoisted in the front of the building.

The mood was light and representatives from the various hospitals within the WVU system spoke, including West Virginia University President Dr. E. Gordon Gee. The former president of Ohio State University reminded everyone he’d been president twice of that school, as well as now being twice president of WVU. “You know, I had to come back both times to correct all the damn mistakes I made the first time around,” Gee joked. Then told the crowd how delighted he was to be a part of the Harrison County community. He stated that, even though, there were vast differences in Ohio and West Virginia’s populations and

number of counties, “but we really are one.”

“It’s a distinctive, wonderful family centered culture, storytelling, taking care of each other and that is exactly what our healthcare effort is about,” Gee said of the Appalachian culture, which he said the Cadiz area is very much a part of. He said the intent was for rural America to have access to as good a healthcare treatment as the bigger cities have.

“And in fact we believe that we provide better healthcare because of the fact that we are very community centered,” Gee said. “We really need to think about ourselves as a powerful region of good people doing good things and it starts with great healthcare.”

Gee was later asked why the union with WVU and not Ohio State for example, considering this is Ohio and Harrison County sits in the shadow of The Buckeye university. He explained that WVU Medicine is based on rural hospital care and “it’s a unique opportunity to take care of rural people.”

Tony Martinelli, the former assistant HCH assistant vice president began the proceedings wishing another successful 50 years serving the community as the past 50. CEO of WVU

Medicine for Wheeling Hospital after serving HCH, Doug Harrison then stepped up to the plate and provided a little humor by thanking the community for naming HCH after him.

“That really means a lot to me and I appreciate that and I’ll never forget it,” Harrison said drawing a big laugh from the crowd. Then he got serious with some reviews on local healthcare being offered.

“Harrison Community Hospital…is a shining example of what healthcare delivery model in this country should be,” Harrison said and added that the local care HCH is providing and caring about its people represents the spirit of the local hospital. He went on to explain that small hospitals such as HCH find it more important in today’s world to join forces with larger healthcare systems to give patients the right care.

“This is what we’re doing here today is transitioning and integrating Harrison Community Hospital into a broader, more confidence of healthcare system that insures the long term viability and access to quality

ambition? To be a top 25 academic health system. Wright said that no matter where you are treated within the WVU Medicine system, all your records will be available at any of those locations that are tied in, such as Wheeling, Barnesville or Cadiz for example.

He said this will trigger lower costs and cut down on mistakes because there will be no need to duplicate records.

“It creates a coordinated pattern of care where we have better outcomes,” Wright explained. He continued by stating that they were not growing just for the sake of it but to “improve the health trajectory” in all areas WVU Medicine serves.

“And our goal is to become a role model healthcare system,” Wright said in referring to their purpose of expanding for healthcare improvements.

Arbaugh stated they had “basically maintained operation’s status, we have not maintained expense-wise” except for what had already been in the works. Arbaugh did say they have maintained regular payments from the power plant, which is still paying monthly to retain the property on Industrial Park Road. That exact figure is now $6,500 per month, which was raised sometime last year when it was just over $3,000 per month.

Arbaugh noted the 2019 and

2020 ongoing audits but have not been completed as of yet. In other matters the board covered some topics such as, the revolving loan fund but Homrighausen said they’d heard nothing back due to the COVID situation.

Also, two new board members were approved with one being Andy Filippi and the other Sam Schupbach.

Homrighausen reported numerous meetings he has attended virtually but with not much movement regarding progress that would benefit the county.

Carter thanked Simmerman and officer CJ Byers, who helped in making the connection to Motz and her arrest. Carter repeated what he’s been saying for years that he hopes this sends a message to the public that they will continue to pursue these types of people to keep those harmful

drugs off the streets.

“We have numerous officers working on narcotics issues and we’re not going away,” Carter explained. He said he hopes this puts a dent on the war on drugs in the area.

“This is not going to be tolerated.” The two suspects await arraignment.

ADENA From PG. 1

All council members felt it was a lot to put on its residents but they also felt they had no choice.

Mayor Brenda Roski repeated the fact that the problems in the sewer department and their OWDA loan payments were not caused by them but were laid in their laps and expressed the notion that they just had no choice.

Roski also repeated the OWDA loan the village was stuck with came to over $800,000 and wasn’t scheduled to be paid back until 2045.

When the sewer system was built there were problems and the administration, at that time, did not raise rates to pay for the loan, as it was explained previously by Roski.

“I don’t want to do it either but I want to tell you something else, council has to be the one to set this rate not the water board,” Roski explained. “You set the water rate and you set the sewer rate, then they have to run the daily operations. And they have cuts, we’re no longer going to have quality environmental here.”

Roski continued citing more cuts by the water board with “lower cost people coming in but are even very much willing to help us get back on our feet.”

SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 2021 She then opened the floor for discussion and ideas counter to raising the rates prior to the vote.

“I’ve lost enough sleep over this [and] it makes me sick at my stomach,” she continued. “Hey, I’m retired too, you think I want to pay that? I don’t.”

Roski again relayed the choice of either tabling the issue or asking for a motion to vote.

That’s when the topic of the water rate recently being raised was discussed.

“We inherited this,” Roski repeated as others such as Treasurer Denise Geanangel asked how anyone would take on a loan of that size without planning on how to pay it back.

Roski moved on to smoke testing already completed and told council there were 83 lines that people need secured around the village.

“We have infiltration issues down at that plant,” she stated referring to those residents who have downspouts either connected to the sewer lines or water is being leaked into those lines. She warned council that the plant can only take on and process so much water and if not fixed they could have more problems, apparently alluding to the EPA. “I need a motion to either table this, which means we’re going down the tubes or, we’re going to have to raise it. And it should

have been raised all along,” Roski explained. “And if you can think of another way to do it I’m open for suggestions.” But the only idea offered to replace raising the rate was by Council Member RJ Konkoleski asking if a $10 raise till December then raise it to $14 in 2022 would be more helpful.

“But the more I think about it people are going to be as mad about ten dollars as they are over fourteen dollars so, the thing to do is to fix it the way it ought to be fixed and get it done,” Konkoleski explained. No one really took to the idea and all agreed it wasn’t a good situation.

“It’s not that this was handled lightly, not at all,” Roski told council. “And we’re not going to make it this year even with that raise but we’ll make it next year.”

Roski was referring to the two yearly payments, which for July comes to $23,920.75 An information chart shows that for 280 sewer customers paying $14.25 would generate $3,990 per month, which after one year comes to $47,880 and the needed sum to make the loan payments.

Council Member Marla Brokaw made the motion stating they were “up against the wall” and after a second, the vote was taken and it passed.

The new rate will take effect beginning May 1 of this year.

Gazebo on hold, fundraising continues

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The gazebo that’s been planned for the square in Cadiz was said to be on hold, per Police Chief and President of the Cadiz Business Association (CBA) Ryan McCann. This was said in the time since the last meeting was held in March. On Wednesday, McCann explained it a little further as that delay could last up to a year or sometime this summer.

McCann said this was a decision on the Cadiz Community Improvement Corporation’s (CIC) part but not because of location, but when the gazebo could be built.

With the bank building’s tenuous condition the wall needs stabilized and other work needs done to renovate the building. CIC members said recently, that more than likely something would be known regarding the building this summer. And until then the gazebo cannot be built there.

The CBA did release more information on fundraising for the gazebo, which continues with the gun raffle and other events. One of them is the Food Truck Friday, which will be held at the square from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on at least five different Fridays.

For April 30, a Wood Fired Pizza will be there; on May 7, Gary’s Hot Rod BBQ; May 14,

Ideal Provisions; May 21, Gary’s Hot Rod BBQ will again appear and may 28 is another repeat by Wood Fired Pizza. A May 1 date scheduled for Chick-fil-A was canceled but McCann said they are looking for another vendor to take its place.

McCann said an alcohol permit has been granted for the June 19 Cruz-in Concert also held at the square for the benefit of the gazebo. Wristbands will be handed out to anyone wanting beer where a small area will be roped off to isolate alcohol consumption. The Harrison Central Girls Basketball Association will be handling the beverages and will split the proceeds with the CBA.

Adena to host Heritage Days after a year layoff Defendant in alleged

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com ADENA – After a full year layoff from their beloved Heritage Days, Adena’s council, on Tuesday, talked of the logistics of bringing it back, which they said would be held Aug. 13 and 14. The discussion started when Lynn McConnell asked about equipment that was Heritagerelated being stored inside their community center and could she remove it.

Mayor Brenda Roski asked whether it was legal to take anything out of there if it were village owned. She said once something has been donated to the village it must remain with the village but Heritage Days’ equipment might be another issue.

“It’s about a lot of stuff, there’s a lot of things if that building comes down that needs to come out of there,” Roski explained. “But when it’s donated to that building to be given and used for the village residents, it’s there to stay.”

Roski felt McConnell could use the equipment for Heritage Days if it were moved to another

building, as suggested by Council Member Marla Brokaw. But Roski said it should be put into a motion for a vote.

Council Member RJ Konkoleski suggested the appropriate motion would be for “community groups” that have equipment inside the building should be given permission to remove their own property. That motion passed unanimously. McConnell asked about having Heritage Days on the village green where it’s been held for years. She said she was asking because of the COVID situation but she may have been alluding to other reasons and Roski said it needed to be discussed. McConnell raised the issue of power going to the poles along the green and if the outlets in the ground actually worked.

Roski said it is being looked at along with Brokaw working on a grant to help fix things, including problems at the park.

After more discussion a motion for having Heritage Days to be held on the village green was also passed.

Other matters covered included Roski talking about grass being swept or blown into the streets of

Adena, which she said is a “big no, no” and called it ridiculous. “No throwing grass to the street.” She became angry when talking about people taking the time to clean up then having people just throw the grass back into the street and wants it stopped.

Another topic was the possible transition for the village to join the Smithfield Township Police force, which is still yet to be decided.

Roski stated that she wished to keep Chief Paul Carpenter for at least 15 hours per week. She raised the topic again after last month’s lengthy discussion because the sign on Carpenter’s door that said “The Adena Police Department was started in 1801,” which she said would be no more if they eventually vote in favor of the township idea.

She said she wasn’t taking sides on the matter, though, earlier she said she was in favor of the move, but only brought it up because she questioned herself and whether she wants her name on the document that ends their police department.

“Until this thing gets completely solvent, which I think that’s what we’re working at, I would not give

every dime of our money away. I want to keep Paul at fifteen hours,” she explained adding that she wants him around to help with enforcing ordinances and other things.

“But if we give them all our money we’re closing that door,” she said while not asking for a vote but only for council to think about the future of the police department.

Also, Village Solicitor Adam Martello informed council of their oil and gas lease with Ascent Resources. He said the new lease includes more acreage involving two leases. He said it is a “true gross lease, which means that there’s no deductions” for costs.

He told council the royalty comes to 18 percent where the village would receive approximately $7,500 “in bonus payments” that covers mostly streets and alleyways.

Martello asked council not to sign the lease just yet as there were a few changes he needed to request. He also said that the village gained some conditions they had asked for that were not in the previous lease agreement.

Scio to bring back long-standing tradition

BY BONNIE RUTLEDGE SCIO - Years ago, Scio hosted an annual Fourth of July celebration complete with vendors of all sorts, food, and entertainment. Village council members reminisced their childhood experiences as they considered what would be required to pull it off. Since other festivities are rumored to be taking place on Saturday, July 3, the Village Council is hoping to encourage this

resurrection of a wellremembered community event one day early. Such an event, however, would take the help of all the area clubs in order to make a go of it as the council cannot be monetarily involved, but individual council members pledged their support.

The participation of area clubs and organizations along with hearty participation from vendors would be the backbone of the festivities. Council needs another entity to spearhead the

event, but is willing to help with the planning. Members also discussed the opportunity for small local businesses to participate, advertise, sponsor, and the like. Council extended the invitation to any and all who would like to participate and plan.

The Council mentioned that the Independence Day festivities would be held at the park. Park bathrooms will be open and available through the summer, which makes the park a more

viable option.

Council recognized that it may take a few years to build the event up to what it was before, but that starting the planning process is the first step to a more involved community.

“The more organizations we have and the more people we can get involved in the planning, the better the turnout we will have because they will invite other people...it starts with spreading the word about it,” said Council Member Andrew Turner.

CCH Environmental halts county-wide pickups

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HOPEDALE – It was revealed at the Hopedale council meeting on Wednesday evening that CCH Environmental would not be conducting their annual spring pickup because grants they had been depending on were stopped due to the pandemic, a CCH representative said on Thursday.

She said they still hope to snare a tire grant but would not know until July, which would go into action at the various fairgrounds for September if they receive that grant. She also said the usual grant that was halted only

affected this year.

Council Member Don Jochims told council the news after he’d been in touch with CCH personnel. “…They did not get any grants for this year so there will be no dumpsters available from them,” Jochims explained. He noted that Jefferson County would be conducting its annual pickup because of the grant that was not used last year would be used in 2021.

Jochims said after being told CCH might obtain the tire grant, that it wouldn’t be “feasible” for Hopedale but that it would be easier for people to just take their tires and dump them off at the county building

in Cadiz.

Also, Mayor Mike Pelegreen wanted to emphasize to the public to not blow their grass clippings onto the streets. The problem apparently is becoming widespread as several communities have also reported this to be an ongoing problem.

“Do not blow the grass to the street,” Pelegreen said. He stated that one council member had caught a resident doing it and the response from the property owner was that they had no idea the village even had an ordinance that forbids the practice.

Pelegreen said the property committee would be organizing an effort to photograph the

areas that are violating the ordinance. It was also noted that this ordinance is printed on the water bills, which Pelegreen stated was correct.

Pelegreen also wanted the public to begin adhering to property cleanup and to manicure their properties responsibly this spring. He said the property committee would be coming around and noting which properties needed cleaned up.

“We appreciate them cleaning up and making things nice,” Council Member Ron Hawkins added on top of Pelegreen’s wishes to keep the town looking nice.

abduction awaits feedback

By JD LONG

jim@harrissonnewsherald.co m CADIZ – A defendant in an alleged abduction, Andrew Paul Hill, 32, of Uhrichsville, appeared via video conference Tuesday in the Harrison County Common Pleas Courtroom. Hill, who was represented by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola, is facing a slew of charges along with an abduction charge, which carries a felony of the second degree. He also faces two aggravated burglary charges, both of which carry a felony one.

Other charges include a violation of a protection order and two domestic violence charges, with all three being misdemeanors of the first degree. A final charge of resisting arrest carries a misdemeanor of the second degree.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey stated that negotiations have been ongoing including a possible offer but much work still needed to be done. Prosecutor Lauren Knight acknowledged receiving the material and told the court she needed to look over the information before making any decisions.

It was made known that Hill had requested to be transferred from his Jefferson County cell to another jail because of an issue

with a fellow inmate. But Hervey told Hill all he could do was alert the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office of his request but he held no authority over such decisions.

Hill also raised an issue he felt was a conflict of interest on the part of Prosecutor Knight and the alleged victim and their possible acquaintance. Knight told the court she did not know the individual personally that Hill was referring to and Hervey agreed that there was no conflict.

“I’m satisfied she doesn’t have a conflict,” Hervey stated and the matter was dropped with no further comment from Hill. He is being held on $150,000 bail.

Also, something the county hasn’t seen a while is a trial but one might be on the horizon later in the summer. Jagger Miller, 28, of Dennison, is facing a charge of improper discharge of a firearm, a second degree felony along with an assault charge (M1), saw no movement in his case Tuesday.

The victim was shot while standing at his kitchen window at a Freeport residence from an apparent stray bullet allegedly discharged by Miller. He is being represented by Jeffrey Jakimides and he has an August trial scheduled. He is free on a personal recognizance bond.

Harrison County drops to yellow alert status

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – While the rest of Ohio seems to be surging a bit in new COVID cases Harrison County continues to drop by being consistent in its numbers. Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome said this week that the county has now dropped again in status to yellow, the level-1, or lowest category.

Rhome said from last Tuesday to this Tuesday seven cases were reported, which is consistent with

the past three weeks when six cases were reported for each of those weeks. Rhome said where the county has tripped just two of the seven indicators in the past several weeks they are now tripping just one of the seven.

Rhome did warn that they are teetering on that orange-yellow line but for now, the county is at level one.

“It took two to three weeks of consistency,” he said Thursday. He stated that to stay in the orange alert status the county would have had to record 50 cases for a two-week

period (March 31 to April 13). But they managed to report 46.5 cases in that 14-day period. Rhome did state that four new cases were reported just on Thursday alone so depending on how the week goes into next Wednesday, those numbers could lift the county back into orange if there is a sudden surge beyond what the county has seen the past month.

Rhome attributes the improvement in the public’s efforts to curtail the spread with “good work by everyone.” But that’s not the case for the rest of Ohio where

Fox-8 in Cleveland reported, as of Wednesday, that there has been 200 cases per 100,000, which is not nearly close to the 50 cases needed for lifting restrictions.

In the tri-state area watch regarding death ratios, Pennsylvania jumped two tenths of a percent from last week and now sits at 2.5 percent. Ohio and West Virginia again saw no movement where each sit at 1.8 percent. In the United States, though, the ratio dropped one-tenth to 1.7 percent and the world figure also dropped by a tenth to 2.1 percent (New York Times).

With you all the way It’s important to maintain a relationship with a primary care doctor by getting annual checkups. With convenient locations throughout the Tri-State area, your doctor is right here with you and your family.

In Memory

In loving memory of our dear loved one Velma Sproull.

May 14, 1921 – April 20, 1974 You would have been 100 next month! WOW! It’s spring again. We had a lot of cold weather and more snow than last year. Some of the spring flowers are confused. They came up when we had warmer weather.

We just love all those beautiful flowers you planted. Some are still

coming up.

We miss your smiling face.

Always wanting people to come and visit us.

At Christmas the house was always decorated so pretty. It smelled like fresh pine from our tree in the yard. All the yummy fudge and goodies we had too.

We couldn’t wait to eat them.

We miss and love you everyday, Your loving family.

By Ina Marks It’s great to see the county is holding steady against Covid. I’m improving more each day. My balance is doing better, its been a long four months, but I’m so blessed, I’ve never wanted food or help from family and friends. I’ve never been used to being helped.

But I’m very appreciative for everyone. They are so kind.

Congratulations on the opening of Fancy Meats store in Cadiz. It is located at 139 E. Warren St.,

Good News Seeing the Big Picture “It’s not about you.” Those are the first words in Pastor Rick Warren’s best-selling book “The Purpose Driven Life”. I was reminded of that opening line this week as I was reading the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Paul said he was thankful for the Philippians’ partnership in the gospel.

Not only that, but he told them that they were partners in grace, in his imprisonment and in defending the gospel.

That’s a high calling for all believers. The Greek word for partnership that Paul used was a commercial term of that day for “joint business venture” If you are a follower of Jesus, have you ever thought of your life as a partnership with other believers? I don’t just mean

the people you go to church with but believers in other countries. Paul was writing from prison in Rome and was thanking the Philippians for their gifts of finances and other necessities. He prayed that they would “carry the mission on to completion”.

There is a real temptation for believers living comfortably in one country to forget that there are believers in other countries who are suffering persecution at the hands of unbelievers.

We can fail to see the big picture, that it’s not all about us.

In the Apostle’s Creed, that we talked about last week, one of the affirmations is “I believe in the holy catholic (universal, global) church”.

For centuries people have

By Pastor Ken Staley:

Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches looked up at the stars at night and wondered, “Is there is anyone else out there?”, yet there is an entire planet of people all around us in desperate straits waiting for help. This is why Paul prayed that our love for others would continually grow and that we would concentrate on what really matters. And it is also why he said to do everything without grumbling or complaining.

A good partnership that wants to see the big picture will never last with brother and sister grumpy pants in their midst. Because of the Philippians faithfulness to support the spread of the gospel outside of their own country, Paul called them shining stars that gave direction to the directionless.

Can you think of a better pursuit with our time and money than that? There is a

wonderful organization called “Open Doors USA.org”. They are a watchdog for the persecuted church around the world.

I read a story from them this week about Christians in Venezuela that were beaten, forced to eat the pages from their bible and had a giant “X” carved in their backs.

Their crime was turning to Jesus.

This kind of persecution is happening in our own hemisphere now, not just in North Korea or Islamic countries.

It’s time to be like those Philippians who entered into partnership with an apostle in prison who needed their prayers and material help.

It’s not all about us. Let’s remember to pray for the persecuted church around the world. Let’s see the big picture.

Lady Husky softball now 9 & 2

By ED BANKS

News-Herald Sports Writer CADIZ - On Wednesday at East Liverpool, the Harrison Central varsity softball team had a field day at the plate. Contributing to the Huskies offense, were nine errors by the Potters, that allowed the Huskies to score 31 runs, to a single run by the hosts. Britton Positano paced the Huskies with five singles and a double that created seven runs for the Huskies.

Maddy Butler would contribute three singles and a double that gave the Huskies just as many runs.

Sarah Touville had two singles and two doubles to create four RBIs. Lexi Ferguson unloaded on the Potters with two singles, a triple and three RBIs. Jenna Young a single with two runs attached, Danyel Beadling had a single with two runs attached, Lizzy Clelland had four singles and two RBIs. Abbi Jozwiak contributed a single and a double with an RBI, and Kristen Kovarick had three singles with four RBIs. Eight of Harrison’s 31 runs came in the first inning, six in the second, eight in the third, one in the fourth and eight more in the fifth and final inning.

Liverpool would get their single run during the third. From the circle Alaina Runevich picked up the win for Harrison. She would strikeouts 10 and would issue no free passes.

Last Friday, the Huskies were at Beaver Local. They would create another lopsided victory by beating the Lady Beavers by a score of 14 t- 4. Kovarik got the win while delivering three strikeouts, walking one and allowing four hits. Ferguson was hot again at the plate with a single, a triple and a home run with a pair of RBIs. Positano had a single and a double with three runs attached, Beadling had a single and a triple while adding a run, Butler had two singles with an RBI, Touville doubled a run home and Kovarick also had a double with an RBI. On Saturday, the Huskies were back at home to entertain visiting the Lady Big Reds of Bellaire. The outing was scheduled as a double billing, with the Big Reds claiming the first half (8 - 6) and the Huskies winning the second (13 - 0).

In the opener Jozwiak homered in the second to plate a pair of runs and scored another off a double.

Touville singled with an RBI, Ferguson singled with an RBI, and

Huskies drop three of last four By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

NH PHOTO | ED BANKS

The Harrison Central Lady Huskies are now 9 and 2 with wins over East Liverpool, Beaver Local, a split with Bellaire and a win over St. Clairsville. All of the wins can be credited to hard hitting and pitching that is backed up with good gloves. Pictured during the game with Bellaire, Harrison’s Abbi Jozwiak makes contact that generates a home run and plates two Husky runs.

Kovarick doubled. During the second half Positano paced all Husky hitters with a grand slam flavored home run and two singles for a total of five RBIs. Beadling would catch the hard-hitting fever and homer, hit a single and plate a pair of runs, Young would single with a run attached, Ferguson and Clelland would plate a runoff a single, and Jozwiak would plate a pair off a single. Kovarick would claim the loss in the first game with five K’s and a walk one in the opener. Runevich would get the win in the night cap by sitting two and deliver no free passes for the win in part two.

The following Monday St. Clairsville traveled to Cadiz. In many circles the expectations of the outcome favored the Red Devils, but you cannot tell the Huskies that. The attitude of the Huskies has always been, ‘when the soup’s in the pot, get it while its hot.’ And they are all eating like champions.

In the past there were sluggers like Pelegreen, Ellzy and Johnson.

Today every Husky is knocking the snot out of the ball and clearing the fence from every conceivable angle.

In Monday evening’s game, the visitors had no answer for the onslaught of hits that the Huskies offered and were mesmerized by the aggressive base running. The Red Devils opened the contest by scoring the game’s first run.

However, little did they know that would be their last.

Harrison wasted little time in showing the Devils just how shutouts and lopsided wins are made. They would leave their share of the first inning with four runs on the board. All of those runs game via a grand slam effort of Beadling. In the second inning St. Clairsville went silently, while the Huskies chalked up three more big runs.

Part of the action in that inning came off Butler beating out a throw to first off an error, Touville lacing a one-run single and Ferguson hammering home a single. In the third inning two more runs were manufactured, and for the Devils, the hand had already written on the wall. Just as in the second through the fifth innings, St. Clairsville went silently.

In the fifth, two runs by the Huskies closed the door and Harrison collected the 11 - 1 victory. Kovarik collected herself another win via three Ks and only one walk. Butler would end the day with three singles and an RBI, Positano had a single and an RBI, Touville two singles and a double, and an RBI, Ferguson had a single, a double and an RBI, and Beadling the grand slam with the four runs attached

CADIZ- It may have taken four starts, but somebody has finally cracked the spell that Caleb Blawut had going from the pitcher’s mound. The junior had entered the night with a 30 record and an impressive ERA line, but this past Wednesday the Indian Creek Redskins (8-3) stole a late inning victory from Blawut and the Harrison Central Huskies. Entering the sixth inning, the Huskies were sitting semi-comfortable with a 2-0 lead. That would change by inning’s end, as the Redskins managed to post a four spot in the top half, seizing Blawut’s perfect record and adding to the skid the Huskies have been on over the past week. Two more Creek runs followed in the seventh, leading to a 6-2 final score. The loss dropped the NH PHOTOS | DJ WATSON Huskies to 5-5 on the season.

Trevor Carman deals to the plate for the Huskies in the first inning The Redskins outhit the of last weekend’s matchup against Clay.

DROP

From PG. 6 back half of the Huskies pitching arsenal, and slowly but surely tallied up the runs. To cap off Clay’s three and half hour trip to the Valley, they methodically discarded the Toronto Red Knights 10-0 in the three team doubleheader.

Nemeth, Mazeroski, and Trevor

Carman were responsible for the Huskies three hits against the Eagles, as all three found gaps with a single each.

Harrison’s lone victory over the past week came against Beaver Local on the road. The Huskies cruised to a 13-2 five inning blowout over the Beavers, large in part due to Nemeth’s huge day at the dish. The sophomore star in the making belted a total of five RBI’s, four of those coming off a monster grand

slam in the third inning that put his squad in front 11-0. Blawut earned the victory on the hill.

Heading into this weekend, the Huskies will see the Beavers and Redskins to close out the season series with both teams.

Both matchups are big for Harrison if they wish to stay in the race for the Buckeye Eight Championship game. A look ahead to next week, two games with Edison and one with Shenandoah await the Huskies.

Bowerston Community Women’s Club discusses sign project BOWERSTON – The Bowerston Community Women’s Club gathered at the First United Methodist Church in April, after several months off due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The main topic of discussion was the ongoing digital sign project.

Treasurer Kim Willoughby reported that, so far, $750 had been received in donations towards the project, with another commitment of $1,000, when the project is ready for completion.

The group reviewed quotes for LED lit signs, in the amount of $1,600 (refurbished) and $3,200 (new) as a less expensive alternate to the more costly digital sign.

After much consideration the Club decided to stay the course with a digital sign as the goal for this project. Additional fund raisers will be organized in the

near future.

In other discussion, the group noted that they would like to have the flower boxes on Main Street planted prior to Memorial Day and approved an expenditure of up to $50 at Sherrod Greens for the purchase of flowers.

Christmas Dinner, which was postponed in December because of Covid-10 concerns, was rescheduled for Sunday, May 16, at First Church. The white elephant gift exchange will also take place that evening.

Members noted that it has been 18 months since a fundraiser has been held and agreed to set a date at the September meeting to hold a soup and sandwich luncheon in the fall.

Refreshments were served by Mrs. Nancy Berg and Mrs. Debbie Carrothers.
