Dennison Yard tabbed as next Tappan vendor JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – The announcement of the new Tappan vendor was supposed to come last month but after a delay the word came out last Friday, as the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) finally announced the Dennison Yard restaurant as the new kid on the block.

Executive Director for MWCD Craig Butler stated that after some contractual details were worked out

these past few months they could now come forward with the introduction.

The Tappan Marina restaurant is on schedule for its mid-June opening where there were once two separate structures, has now come together and is taking on the shape of its design.

“It’s basically under roof and work is ongoing inside…” Butler stated. He pointed out the owners are locals to the area including Tappan Lake calling it a “great partnership to start with them.”

Chief of Recreation Ryan McCleaster followed up by reminding the board of the recent history of the process involving the Murray’s sudden

resignation and finding Dennison Yard in the “eleventh hour.”

He continued to describe the process of searching for a new vendor since January and after some “back and forth” they are confident with the new vendor and are happy to have them.

McCleaster said the owners have experience with the McDonald’s corporation in past ownership of several franchises.

“Pretty much the standard concession agreement that we’ve used with other vendors that we have within the district,” McCleaster explained. “The significant terms of this agreement is a

Black Belts Achieved

three-year agreement,” and will run through 2023.

McCleaster said the MWCD would receive 7 percent of all revenue with the exception for the months of June through August of 5 percent “to get them going.”

“You know, try to get them to generate the revenue they need in order to be successful because at the end of the day, their success is going to be our success as well too, so we want them to be successful in that capacity.”

He said both sides were happy with that exception considering the new vendor would be losing approximately

a month of revenue since the opening would not be until mid-June, as McCleaster pointed out. He said the name of the Tappan restaurant is still being worked on.

He added that the vendor is working with the MWCD about the Memorial Weekend activities for a “soft opening” with some kind of set up in the parking lot once everything is cleared out but that is not a definite as logistics still need to be worked out, according to Shari Lewis, co-owner (with Matt

Milleson opens Milestone Company Insurance in Cadiz

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – For 74 years the Millesons owned and operated the Milleson Insurance Agency in Freeport through Nationwide only.

And for the past seven years, it has been run by Dan Milleson after it was turned over to him by his father.

Now, Dan has renamed and rebranded his agency into the Milestone Company and is completely independent.

“Now we can sell to ten to 15 companies,” Dan said on the newly planted lawn Thursday afternoon.

And that includes Nationwide as well, just not exclusively with them anymore but through a multitude of carriers.

Thursday, the grand opening occurred off S. Main Street next to Sander’s Market with Gary’s Hot Rod BBQ providing lunch, refreshments and ice cream, compliments of the Deersville General Store — and it was all on the house.

Dan thanked his parents and especially his father Rich for placing the faith in him to take over, which he said he “probably didn’t deserve.”

“Without his trust none of this would be possible,” Dan told the

crowd. He then ran down a list of thanks beginning with Jim Bardall as the reason the building got completed. He gave thanks to former prosecutor Owen Beetham for opening the possibility of buying the building at 232 S. Main Street, in the first place.

“Great community servant,” he described Owen. Seth Morrison of Port Washington did the brick work and Bill Marks, who he called a “great guy” did work on the building as well. The grass work, which grew in nicely, was done by Chris Vich of Wilgus and Company and Terry Wassum did the indoor painting.

Business partner Adam Perzanowski took the time to thank his partner Dan calling him “selfless and dedicated to the community and Cadiz.” He said it was a great move for occupying the Cadiz office.

“It was a great move for us and set us up for the future,” Perzanowski said. Both said they were excited about the move where Dan now takes up residence in the upper floor of the building. Dan said Adam also helps with their Steubenville office as well.

The Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce was present to do the honors and cut the ribbon on the front steps surrounded by Milleson’s entire staff.

Miller’s Martial Arts students earn distinguished degree CADIZ - Brady Positano and Ben Puskarich recently earned a distinction that few achieve. They were promoted to Black Belt at Miller’s Marital Arts by Grand Master Dennie Miller. Both Positano and Puskarich have been long time students of Miller’s starting their journey to blackbelt at the age of five years old. Positano is a senior at Harrison Central and Puskarich is a junior, where they co-captain the Huskies soccer team.

To be promoted to the rank of Black Belt, a student must show proficiency in forms, fighting, weapons and breaking.

NEWS-HERALD

Forms show that the student has mastered the correct techniques of kicks and blocks to be able to fight and break effectively.

Both boys successfully broke one-inch boards with several different types of kicks and blocks. They were also required to break a one-inch slab of concrete. Students are expected to master weapons, which in the Miller system is the nun-chukka.

For the fighting phase of the test, they must show that they can effectively protect themselves against multiple attackers. The blackbelt test is a compilation of all aspects of martial arts that student works for years

to master.

Miller has watched these boys grow up as they would come to classes with their older brothers before they were old enough to join the classes. It was special for Brady and Ben to earn their black belts at the same time, as their brothers did the same thing in 2015.

Miller teaches the Tainui system where he recognizes a seventh degree of black belt as a grand master. This system is a combination of Karate, Kung Fu and Tae Kwon Do.

The Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce cut the ribbon at the Milestone Company at 232 S. Main Street in Cadiz on Thursday. The company was the former Milleson Insurance Company of Freeport when it was with Nationwide but Dan Milleson said they are an independent company now. Mayor John Migliore was on hand accompanied by plenty of public officials to celebrate the move as well.

Faber says county in black, promotes Trump politics

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ –The annual Lincoln Day Dinner was held a few months later than usual this year and last Thursday the Republican Party hosted several of its local representatives like Senator Frank Hoagland-R (District 30) and Representative Don Jones-R (District 95).

Ohio State Auditor Keith Faber was the keynote speaker and covered the local influence, national politics — Trump included, and of course his office and noted some misconceptions the public has regarding his responsibilities.

“The reality is as state auditor, I am your watchdog,” Faber explained. “It is my job to watch people who spend money for you and we do a very good job of it.”

He talked about some of his office’s track record where they have found over 50 public servants breaking the law, which were followed by prosecutions.

Faber stated that his office has saved more than $120 million in taxpayer savings and saved $45 for every dollar they are spending. His ambition is to grow their performance audit division where his office has saved more than $500 million in Medicaid overpayments, according to Faber.

He also mentioned his 18 years as a state legislator but noted how much he loves his current position and how he gets to “wear the white hat.”

“I’m state auditor because of votes from counties like yours,” Faber told the crowd. He went on to tout the “Trump-Ohio” votes and the margins of victory supporting a conservative fiscal spending mentality. Faber said Ohio Republicans stand for something different than what they’re hearing back in Washington D.C. He wants government to treat its citizens like customers, alluding to examples of how a business is run.

Then Faber went into the past and the Trump era and how the former president understood holding foreign competitors feet to the fire and fiscal responsibility.

And how foreign entities understood Trump’s America First rallying cry.

“Unfortunately, that’s not what we have today,” Faber said in an

Ohio State Auditor Keith Faber spoke at last Thursday’s Lincoln Day Dinner. Faber touted the quality representation from the local area, the financial stability in Harrison County, especially the positive effects of not raising taxes. And, as many Republicans have done since the election, promoted Donald Trump’s initiatives.

obvious shot at the Biden administration. It was yet another Republican voicing their support for Trump in the face of much controversy, with election fraud accusations being the driving force among the party, and for which there still has been no evidence of it.

He also cited the unemployment situation and the extra $300 per month those recipients are receiving and blaming that on the difficulty in getting jobs filled, which others have also cited as a reason.

He also cited Trump’s border policy where talking tough didn’t mean turning their backs on immigrants but to support legal immigration, not illegal. He accused Biden of avoiding using the word crises and promoting illegal immigration.

Locally, Faber said Harrison County is fiscally doing “okay” in the face of what he said many local governments in many states, hurt for money. But Harrison County isn’t alone as 85 percent of Ohio’s “counties and cities” had more money at the end of Dec. 2020 than they did at the beginning of January of the same year, according to Faber.

He then talked of the tax issue and how when taxes are cut states, at least for Ohio, actually generate

more surplus in the long run, which he said the state had. But he warned of inflation coming under Biden, or as the result of his policies.

“But our real problems are when our kids and grandkids try to figure how to pay off this,” he said.

Faber opened with the importance of the Republican Party to come together and share values. He recognized what he called the local heroes in Representative Jones calling him a leader in Ohio legislation in just his second term. Next was Senator Hoagland telling the crowd how he’d recruited him to run for the senate calling him hard working and smart.

“Just like his service to the country he believes in what he’s doing, he’s fighting for the things he believes in and make no mistake, nobody, nobody pushes Frank Hoagland around in Columbus,” Faber said to strong applause. He then noted the coming open senate seat vacated

by Rob Portman who announced last year he would not run for reelection and stressed how important it was for Republicans to hold onto that seat.

Fifty-fifty is not a good number for us,” Faber said referring to the Democrat-Republican ratio in the senate.

“We’re excited to take on that restaurant,” she said this week.

Other options are a long-term goal of a full 12-month service but that will probably come next year. She said they would also be offering take out service for boaters, as an example. For now though, the menu will be limited in the beginning then expand to a full offering.

The total cost of the Tappan Marina building renovation project is $4.4 million, which will include a 250-seat restaurant on the main floor of the marina, including seating for over 100 guests on a covered deck overlooking the lake, according to a recent MWCD

SATURDAY, MAY 8, 2021 press release.

“We are also planning to offer carry-out menu items that boaters can order and enjoy while relaxing on the water,” Lewis said.

The lower level of the marina will be home to MWCD’s Tappan Marina operations. It will also feature pontoon and fishing boat rentals, boating supplies, gifts, bait and tackle, fuel sales, snacks, and docking rentals. Despite construction, marina operations are currently open. Pontoon rentals, gas, and seasonal docking is available for the 2021 season. Boat rental reservations are encouraged and can be made online at www.MWCD.org, according to the press release.

“The renovations to Tappan Marina have not only beautified the facility, but more importantly, allow us to better serve our guests,” said Ryan

McCleaster, MWCD Chief of Recreation. “Tappan Lake is very popular for boating and fishing and draws guests from Ohio and surrounding states.

The new design will provide a premier destination that will offer an inviting gateway to the Tappan Lake region.”

The adjacent waterfront areas have also been redeveloped to make it easier and more accessible for the public to get to the fuel docks. Parking, signage, and lighting improvements were constructed adjacent to the building, and construction on the remainder of parking lot improvements will continue into the fall of 2021. The site also features elements of green infrastructure, including storm water management and vegetative filter strips to protect the water quality of Tappan Lake, and the use of geothermal energy to reduce utility costs.

Harrison County remains in Orange alert status

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – For one brief week Harrison County’s COVID-19 alert status fell to yellow but that was two weeks ago. Last week it rose back into the orange alert status and this week Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome said it had remained orange.

Rhome spoke to the commissioners at Wednesday’s weekly meeting reporting that there were nine new COVID cases in the past week. The total for the county now stands at 1,089 with presumed recovered at 1,056, up seven from last week. Active cases have jumped only two to nine since last week as well.

Rhome called the nine “a lot for recent times,” when comparing it to mostly three to six for basically the past month.

This time a few of the recent cases involved minors but didn’t call it any kind of an outbreak because there was no link between the minors and the others.

Rhome said a little more than 30 percent of Harrison County’s population has been vaccinated with a first dose and around 27 percent with a second dose. He told the board that the county ranks “in the fifties” out of 88 counties of citizens being vaccinated versus population.

He said the surrounding

counties rank in the 30s for a vaccinated percentage of its population.

Rhome said he is seeing progress in walk-ins from this area as well as from other counties around the state but said we have reached the point where supply is now exceeding demand.

“We are at the point where supply meets or exceeds demand so, those types of barriers are gone,” Rhome explained. He said they will be inviting more walk-in opportunities for people and seek out the people who may be willing to take the vaccine but are just not coming forward for various reasons.

He talked about the segment of that population that refuses to take the vaccine, either out of inconvenience on their part or just plain conspiracy backed, which he acknowledged does exist.

“I certainly don’t have numbers…and I think that there are people that they have legitimate concerns about the efficacy…” of the vaccine or have concerns over the effects of a second shot. He called these “unfortunate but legitimate reasons to not get vaccinated.”

Rhome said he doesn’t know the amount of people who believe in conspiracy theories concerning a vaccine but he does know that it exists. Some of the far out theories involve Bill Gates for example, and/or the

government using a vaccine to track people’s lives and movements but none of these have any merit to them at all. “…Having conversations about their parents (people who’ve been vaccinated), their grandparents, when they come to get vaccinated they’ll tell us stories about people so I know that it’s out there but I have no idea how to say that’s the major contributor…” Rhome stated.

He said he wasn’t sure how they could combat that kind of trepidation against the vaccine but said the proof, at least locally, is that 9,000 people have received the vaccine and aside from some side affects, “that negative is outweighed by the positives.”

He did say that it was unlikely that vaccinating people where it would lead to herd immunity probably is not going to happen.

He said the hesitancy of many people would make it likely that they would vaccinate the 75 to 80 percent of the population needed for the immunity.

Concerning the shelf life of a vaccine, he said generally six months is what they are given to administer the shots. But he said they were not in any danger of not using any vaccines because of an expiration date. Rhome said another 250 doses are ready to be administered for the following week, as well.

Jewett asserts spring cleaning, sees some improvements

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE JEWETT — Jewett council looks to make good on their promises of improving the town’s aesthetic and enforcing village resolutions and limitations in regard to residents of unkempt properties. Some residents have taken necessary steps to comply already and Jewett hopes others will follow suit. Five summer help persons have been lined up to start aiding the village in clean up and maintenance starting in early June.

In attempt to ride the wave of spring cleaning and ring in the new season, Jewett will have a dumpster at the park May 1017 available to residents. Items

such as tires, wet paint in cans, etc. will not be accepted. For a full list of prohibited items, contact the village office. “We hope this dumpster will be put to good use,” remarked one of the council members.

While improvements have been made and more are anticipated, setbacks linger yet.

Council members noted the unusual amount of chickens inside village limits. Flocks have been purportedly cropping up throughout the village to the point that council feels action should be taken. No further decisions were made as to what action that should be.

The village also resolved their water meter reading technical issues weeks prior, but high water bills carried over into

We Cover All of Your Banking Needs • Checking • Savings • Credit Card • Online Banking

• Mobile App • Personal Loans • Installment Loans • Mortgages

April’s billing cycle due to underestimation from the hiccup. Council members hope that no further problems will arise with the new technology and repairs.

Four water shut-offs occurred in the last billing cycle, but all four instances were paid in full and have been restored to full service. Seven letters were sent to long-term, non-paying water customers informing them that their sewage line will be capped unless their due is paid in full.

Two responses were received to this point.

Charlie Harris briefed the council on the updates at the water treatment plant. Out of four aerators in the lagoons, all of them have been showing wear and tear and their need for repair. One of them was discarded and a fifth new spare aerator was installed in place of the unrepairable one. Council made a motion to purchase a new spare aerator in anticipation of future breakdowns.

Jewett also looks to finish repairs from the upset of the new water project; however, most of the problems are not clear as to who is responsible to pay for the repair. Curbs and streets throughout Jewett were brought up at the meeting, but the council feels it is not their responsibility to fix the shortcomings of a contracted company.

This meeting occurred when Jewett Council met at 6 p.m. last Wednesday in the absence of Mayor Dwight Busby.

Scio hopes to see more COVID relief funds

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

Scio – On Wednesday, Village Solicitor Jack Felgenhauer raised the possibility of the village receiving more COVID relief funding. He said they were still waiting “to determine what we need to do to get the COVID money.” He heard possibly June when they would receive it but Village Treasurer Heidi Trice said after recent contact with an official, they could see the first check by the end of May. Trice said no resolution was necessary to pass this time around as was the case last year.

“My understanding of what they were saying yesterday is that we’ll receive half of it at the end of May, the other half we won’t receive until a year later,” Trice said referring to a webinar she attended. “It will be a

complete whole year before we get the other half of the check.”

Trice said an additional webinar was being scheduled and things could change with critical infrastructure being discussed as well. Another issue discussed was brought up by Mayor Michelle Carpenter regarding three properties and cleanup letters that were sent out but not answered by those residents.

“And so we need to do the next step by disconnecting their service,” she told council while reminding them they just needed to find the right way to take that next step. She said the issue needed to be resolved and for the village to move fast because it needs to get done.

Council’s motion for Felgenhauer to drafting those letters involving a 30-day notice was approved.

Another issue was complaints and where residents should be addressing those so the village can see and address them properly. Carpenter said that posting complaints on social media is not the proper way because there is no guarantee anyone from the village is going to see it for one thing. Council Member Carol Davy talked about a few unkempt properties that people had been complaining about but did not contact the village, instead posted their frustrations on social media.

“It’s frowned upon and it’s not the professional way to go about doing something,” Carpenter said. “Everything needs to come here whether it’s physically or by email. It needs to come here,” she said referring to resident’s complaints and voicing them at the municipal building or email.

“So that we can address things properly and get things taken care of I mean, otherwise it’s hearsay and gossip,” she continued referring to the social media posts.

Also, a resident came forward and requested that a no littering sign be placed at Allensworth Drive. And he asked for the highest fine to be listed that could be offered. He said people are throwing their trash out the window of their vehicles as they drive by. He was told the highest fine for littering is $500 .

The resident called it “disgusting” where he thinks people feel that that road is a place to dump their trash. But it wasn’t established for certain if the people dumping the trash were residents or visitors to the area. No action was taken at that time.

MWCD campground rates released for 2022

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – It may have seemed a little early to be looking at daily rates for 2022 but the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) looked at their strategy of increasing rates later in the year and felt they were “missing out on some revenue opportunities,” according to MWCD Chief of Recreation Ryan McCleaster.

He talked of the District’s regular campers re-booking as soon as their time is up.

“When they come they enjoy it so much they’re ready to book with us ASAP,” McCleaster explained.

The software allows an adjustment in their strategy for their end of year sales and booking rates for the following year. He said they had been limited in the past but updated software now allows for multiple rates when customers want to book for the following year. Basically, people can book now for next year, which put them in line with next year’s rates as opposed to those rates not being adjusted for the following year the old way.

“This is a great opportunity for us to capture some extra revenue,” McCleaster explained.

“We’re proposing a five percent increase on these rates for (2022)…” which he said would

generate nearly $185,000 additional revenue.

McCleaster said comparisons in the various types of cabins with other entities and what they have to offer, is being competitive regarding prices.

He told the board they feel confident in recommending this 5 percent increase because of those comparisons. When asked he also said he didn’t see multiple years of advance bookings.

Recreation Manager Scott Heller stated that people can currently book 340 days in advance, which has been the norm for years but he added that he would be hesitant to allow people to book beyond that.

“There’s a number of factors that we’d have to consider…” he stated with one being the evolution in rate increases.

Heller felt they were generous in comparison to “most” campgrounds who do not allow 340 days in advance bookings.

“I don’t know if I’d want to go beyond that though,” Heller said. In answer to more questions Heller stated that he saw no consistency among campground pricing, “regardless of geographic location.”

“There’s quite a variety of methods for charging and I don’t really see a trend whether you’re located to a metropolitan area, it’s more about the quality of the campsite and the

amenities they offer…” he explained. He added that in order to match their demand last year they added a surcharge calling it a “matching demand with our rates” onto their per night charge for weekends and holidays. He said this would be continued into the next year.

The 2022 Tappan rates were released for daily and 30-day rates, which are as follows (premium hookups are described as renovated sites with 50 am electric, full hookup concrete pads): Daily rates are $56 for premium full hookup, $46 for non-premium full hookup; $40 for electric and $37 for primitive. For Tappan’s 30 day rates: A premium full hookup is $1,380; full hookup is $1,080 and electric is $900.

For Clendening Lake: Daily rates are $46 for full hookup; $40 for electric and $37 for primitive. For their 30-day rates, it’s $1,140 for a waterfront/waterview electric hookup and $900 for electric.

As for Piedmont, the daily

premium waterfront/waterview full hookup is $71 and $56 for a premium full hookup. For 30day rates, the premium waterfront/waterview full hookup is $1,830 and $1,380 for a premium full hookup.

Mildred “Ann” Moore Mrs. Mildred Ann Moore , 87 Mildred “Ann” Moore died in Gainesville, Georgia, on April 23 after a long illness, surrounded by those who cared for her. She was 87 years old.

Ann was born on her family’s farm in Freeport, Ohio, where she grew up with a favorite horse named Barney and later fell for a local boy named Charles who worked on her father’s farm.

They married in 1953 after he returned from a tour of duty in Korea.

Ann completed her education in 1959 with a degree from Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. Later she and Charles moved to North Olmsted, Ohio where she taught history and geography at Westlake Junior High School, until her son John was born in 1964. He was her beloved only child from the moment of his birth until the moment of her death. Later he too would have an only child named Patrick with his wife Jennifer, giving Ann a grandson to love as well.

Both son and grandson caught Ann’s passion for history and travel. Under her influence, John became an history buff and Patrick became a history major at Wake Forest University. Ann insisted that both of them know everything there was to know about their Scottish heritage, dating back to the Cummins clan (Clan Comyn) that played a major role in the 13th-14th century Wars of Scottish Independence.

Meanwhile Ann and Charles logged thousands of miles in their Airstream, visiting virtually all of the National Parks and many state parks as well.

Superior National Forest in Minnesota, which contains the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, was one of Ann’s favorites. When at home, she doted on her Golden Retrievers (there were two named Rusty) and cats (Toby was the best).

She collected books and stamps from all over the world. She baked.

She worked as a volunteer storekeeper for the One World Shop, a nonprofit fair-trade co-op in Rocky River, Ohio, which helps artisans from Appalachia to Africa sell their goods.

Not coincidentally, the One World Shop was started in 1979 by a group of Presbyterian women. While Ann was not among them, she was a lifelong Presbyterian who did all the things good Scottish

Presbyterians do: she sang in the choir, she made Christmas fudge, she supported charities and non-profits with shared values of generosity and compassion. She and Charles also traveled extensively with various church groups, leaving the Airstream behind to visit Australia, China, and much of Europe.

When Ann learned that Jennifer and John were expecting a child in 1996, she and Charles moved to Gainesville, Georgia, to be near the new family. They built their dream home on Lake Lanier and—after Patrick was born— turned their place into the magnetic site of family cookouts, sunset cruises, inner tube floats, and gifts of toys and books, along with all other means of spoiling the only grandson.

Ann underwent surgery for a cerebral aneurysm in 2002 and life became more challenging after that, though she had laid down such a solid foundation of love with her family and friends that there was no challenge in loving her back. She received guests graciously. She was easily the best dressed octogenarian at Manor Lake Assisted Living in Gainesville, where she moved in January 2020. Charles was at her side every day until the COVID-19 pandemic prevented him. When he and the rest of the family could only visit through a telephone or a window, Ann received topnotch care from the staff of the Manor Lake Memory Unit and Homestead Hospice, to whom her family is very grateful.

When she died on April 23, she left the tattoo of her life on the hearts of her family and friends, who guard her memory and give everlasting thanks for her loving example.

Ann is preceded in death by Pearl Leota Cummins, her mother and Dean Edward Cummins, her father. She is survived by Charles Nelson Moore, her husband of 67 years; John Cummins Moore and Jennifer Brown Moore, her son and daughter-in-law; and Patrick Conor Moore, her grandson. At a date yet to be determined, Ann’s ashes will be interred at First Presbyterian Church in Gainesville and the Cummins family farm in Ohio.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America at https://alzfdn.org/supportus/donate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Regarding Cain To the Editor, This sad, sad story shows that evil people can do to animals whatever they want as there will be no penalty. It is hard to imagine a sick mind that could do this. To me, it's a form of mental illness, for no one in his or her right mind would do something so horrific. Evil has existed since the beginning of time and with no laws to stop it, one can be sure it will continue.

I would ask anyone who reads this letter to join me in helping to change the laws. If I were in charge, this criminal couple would be fined a huge amount of money, have to pay all the dog's medical bills and any other care that is deemed necessary. It would

On the flip side of this evil, are loving and sensitive folks.

The Harrison County Dog Pound who contributed to Cain's medical bills and the family that adopted him. I applaud Cindi Yanez and the other dog wardens along with all the volunteers who worked diligently to give this wonderful dog another chance at life in a loving and responsible home.

Thanks is insufficient to all the people nationwide who helped financially.

I will be contacting our state representative to see what can be done to begin to remedy this situation. In order for it to work, the state must adopt laws protecting animals like Cain. It is time!

SMITHFIELD

BY ESTHER MCCOY The first of our five grandchildren got married in an outdoor wedding on a cold Friday, April 23. It was beautiful sunny day, but the temperature was a bit low. Jay had provided blankets for me and Beverly who is Margaret’s mom. It wasn’t fashionable but it felt nice and warm.

Weddings always make me cry but this one had even greater crying power. I remember when Amber was born, I remember when they come to visit and I would have games planned for us to do. I remember her climbing the apple tree by our house. She always made it back down, something some of the others to come along couldn’t do. But then, the tree had grown taller by then.

We would go for walks along the maze of sidewalks and she would try to get me lost in the maze and many houses that looked alike. She came to a few Jefferson County Fairs and took some of my pictures on my work camera. She received a scholarship from the Smithfield high school alumni. Then we celebrated by going to the drive in and seeing some awful movies that we sat and complained about.

Good luck to you and your ‘forever friend’, Phil. May you be able to handle all that time hands out — the good and the bad.

Lamont and I were the last couple standing on the dance floor. We suddenly realized that with 60 years, we were the last ones on the floor. It was nice to get congratulations.

The next day, after being gussied up with a stylish up-do, colorful makeup and a long gown, teenager Maggie who was a bridesmaid, was on the softball field in a game that her team won. She had just come down from an all-time high by hitting a home run, her first the week before.

Little Paxton Trushell looked so cute in his bib overalls at the Harrison County promotion and education luncheon and giving us a chance to meet with Trevor Kirkpatrick, the new organization director for Harrison, Carroll, Jefferson, and Tuscarawas Counties.

The program topic was on pigs.

He told through a video that piglets are from two to three pounds when born and grow to over 200 pounds within six months. They don’t sweat; they rely on laying in mud and cool surfaces to prevent overheating. It is the second most eaten meat in the world and they have a distinct form of communication and social cues.

I was pleased to be seated with Marilyn Swelbar and Margaret Best, two nice ladies that I made acquaintances with many years ago in my new job as the Harrison County reporter. Jayne Wallace makes a good leader. She can make work on a project fun and is always

Look at the Past Looking back at the Hanna Coal Company

Look at the Past: Hanna Coal Company was a major player in the Eastern and Southeastern Ohio coal fields.

Hanna’s Prayer

Talk about pivotal! That’s what the prophet Samuel was in the history and affairs of ancient Israel. But this key figure in the life of so many, not the least of which was the choosing of King David, would not have been possible if it weren’t for the prayers of a desperate, barren woman named Hanna.

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and it’s extraordinary women like Hanna that make it so special. I used to read this bible story to my daughter when she was little.

It was one of those little ten-page, hardcover children’s books with

telling funny tidbits. The Harrison County Farm Bureau spring luncheon was fun and Jayne Wallace, Chairman, keeps it that way.

I was saddened to hear that one of the churches in Bloomingdale had closed its doors because of only four parishioners being left to attend. I can remember when all churches everywhere were filled to capacity for Sunday worship.

I wasn’t able to absorb many stories this week but I did go to Claren Blackburn’s home and speak with Don Richardson, Carl Streley and Claren about the upcoming banquet to be held at the Hopedale Social Hall.

lots of illustrations and just the right amount of words. The storyline is heartbreaking yet faith-building.

Hanna is barren, ridiculed and even accused of drunkenness when she prays. In her anguish she makes the Lord a staggering promise, if she conceives a son, she will give the weened boy back to the Lord and to the ministry of Eli the priest.

Can you imagine? After waiting all those years to have a child she gives him up before the age of 5 and prays a prayer that shames those of us who have trouble

By Pastor Ken Staley:

Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches giving up a meal let alone a child.

Hanna, champion mother, was rewarded for her tenacious faith by having the Lord bless her with five more children. None of this would have come about without bold prayers and shameless asking.

Jesus said in Matthew chapter 7, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your

children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”

How many believers forego great blessings because they don’t press in and approach the throne of God boldly?

There is no better faith teacher than a barren woman desperate for a child.

Momma Hanna can teach us all a thing or two about perseverance and dedicating the fruit of our answered prayers back to the Lord.

Lady Huskies shut out Toronto Ohio hunters harvest more than 8,200

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - Tristen Kovarick delivered her season masterpiece during a 10 - 0 win over visiting Toronto. She would hurl seven Ks and two walks and allow only

a pair of singles on the way to the victory. Lizzy Clelland would also see action from the circle for the Huskies.

The Huskies would score three runs in the first inning, one run in the second and six in the fifth and final inning.

At the plate for the Huskies, Maddy Butler had two singles, a double and an RBI; Danyel Beadling had a single with an RBI; Jenna Young tossed in a pair of RBIs, and Kovarick helped her own cause with a double and two runs brought in.

Harrison Central’s Audrey Corder recognized by the Ohio Basketball Coaches Association

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - Harrison Central’s Audrey Corder was recently named Division III Academic All-Ohio by the Ohio Basketball Coaches Association. Corder was one of 10 girls from within the state to receive the honorable award. She will also become only the second girl in Harrison Central history to be recognized and selected as such.

Corder, a senior, will wind down her career in several activities at Harrison. She will graduate as a four-year participant, starter and standout in both basketball and volleyball. Her presence on the court will certainly be missed. Her plans for the future include future academic studies at the Ohio State University. Her courses of studies will be the prerequisite to a field in speech and hearing science.

Harrison Central track shines at OVAC prelims

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - To get to the big dance you first gotta pay your dues. That is just what was expected of the track and field athletes on Tuesday in St. Clairsville.

Amongst the qualifiers, the Harrison Central girls field and distance team

shined in the preliminary events leading to the 2021 OVAC Cal Giffin Track and Field Championship Meet.

It would be no surprise to anyone that Harrison’s senior distant runner Jasmine Arnold was top in both the 1600 and 3200-meter runs. Jasmine has etched her name and presence in the minds of many in the track

and field games for over four years.

Along with Arnold, her classmate Thea Haney ended the competition with a 102.10 toss in the discus throw. Her throw was eight feet better than any other participant in the prelims. Haney also will be remembered for her achievements in both the discus and shot put over the years.

Save time and money on spring home and personal essentials (StatePoint) Keeping your household well-stocked of items you need to run things smoothly is essential, particularly during the spring cleaning season. But whether it’s home improvement supplies or laundry necessities, selecting the best products may be a bit more challenging these days. Not only are new products introduced to store shelves all the time, if you’re like many consumers, you’re staying home more with fewer opportunities to compare products in-person.

While researching product reviews can help you discover what other consumers have already tried and loved, it can be a fairly time-consuming process. For quicker insights, consult crowd-sourcing resources like Product of the Year USA, the largest consumer-voted award for

product innovation. With product winners determined by a national study conducted

by Kantar, a global leader in consumer research, 40,000 consumers have voted on the best products for 2021.

“When shopping online or in-store, look for the Product of the Year red seal of approval to quickly spot the best new products,” says Mike Nolan, Global CEO, Product of the Year. “Our process of polling 40,000 independent voters means you can genuinely trust the seal, saving you time and money while you shop.”

As you stock up on spring household essentials and and personal items, consider trying these 20 Product of the Year winners, which stood out in their respective categories: - Car Care: Rain-X Glass Water-Repellent - Cat Care: Pro Plan LiveClear
