Harrison County up to eight COVID-19 cases

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ –Harrison County now has eight confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome who completed his weekly report to the county commissioners on Wednesday.

The eighth case came confirmed late Wednesday evening. And as usual the numbers he provided at 10 a.m. did not stand up to the updates that came through later in the day.

As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, confirmed cases (CDC) in the United States stood

at over 1.3 million with 82,246 deaths.

In Ohio, 25,721 confirmed cases were reported as of 2 p.m. with 1,483 deaths. The median age is 50 years with 54 percent of cases being male and 46 percent female. Rhome said there were on average about 18,000 new cases reported each day in the U.S. “And new cases aren’t necessarily trending downward,” Rhome told the board, “at least not on a twenty-one day time frame.” But he acknowledged the amount of testing in Ohio has increased.

“If we’re making testing more available to those who might not have

been in a high-tiered priority for testing earlier, we’ll continue to see more positives,” Rhome explained. He also noted the average reported per day has risen from over 300 to more than 500 with more testing available.

For Harrison County Rhome said one that was hospitalized remains so but reports four recovered and expects to see more by the end of the week. He also said volunteers have responded and provided cloth masks for the health department.

“And for just people from the community, people who currently live here and people who follow the news

from back home wherever they live nowadays, we got a good response from people sending us cloth masks from all around and we’ve been able to get those in the hands of residents,” Rhome stated.

Later, when asked if the county COVID-19 cases had any connection to each other such as a common denominator, Rhome said there was not.

“There's really no trend in age, location, situation, etc.,” he said via email later in the day. “Two of the cases were close contacts of each other (one got sick, then their close contact got

Courthouse Gets The Blues For Good Cause

sick soon after). Other than that, there is no epidemiological link between the cases.”

Rhome also touched on the commotion over the announced staggered re-opening of business around the state with remarks towards community living such as, senior citizen centers where he’s been in constant contact with the County Home’s director Ed Banks.

In other items, Commissioner Paul Coffland read the creation of a new fund dealing with public transit. The purpose is to “better track revenue that

Company chosen for Cadiz Water plant project

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last Thursday Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski announced at the village’s regular council meeting the choosing of Kurtz Brothers as the company to do the water plant upgrades for Cadiz. The recommendation came from CT Consultants where Kurtz was actually the second lowest bid but CT was reluctant to recommend the low bidder, Border Patrol, for lack of experience in this type of work.

Andrzejewski said the village still has until June 1 to review and inform Ohio EPA of their decision. Dan Barr

NEWS-HERALD

of CT spoke via teleconference stating that out of the three bidders two were very close. He said Border Patrol was around $10,000 less that Kurtz but it was past experience that made CT lean towards Kurtz.

“But Border Patrol (BP) has much more limited experience,” Barr began.

“They have no water plant experience at all, though they do have some wastewater experience.” He said BP has no filter experience and said that was crucial considering Cadiz receives their water from Tappan Lake, which he said would be looked at much more closely as opposed to a well water source when it came to filters.

Barr added that when it came to BP

references they were spoken of highly but it just came down to no experience with filters and water plants. “…Very little experience at all with water plants and no experience with filters and that is the heart of this project,” Barr explained. Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros informed council that a motion was needed for preparing an ordinance to award the bid. He said it would have to be done as an emergency and voted on at the May 21 meeting.

Before the motion had passed Council Member Barr fielded questions regarding BP and stated there were no complaints on “mechanical” or “plant work” they’ve

done in the past. He added that their work on wastewater plants was “solid” but that it was a significant difference when doing a water plant.

“I understand it’s ten thousand dollars and to some people ten thousand dollars isn’t a lot but I mean, ten thousand dollars ain’t nickels and dimes either,” Vermillion told Barr when he referenced the difference in the bids.

When it came to financing for the water plant upgrades and “Hab improvements” Andrzejewski said the loan application had been completed.

He reminded council the loan amount

ADENA – After a meeting with Smithfield Township, Adena Police Chief Paul Carpenter asked council at Tuesday’s meeting whether they wish to keep the police as an Adena force or consolidate into the township.

“So, what we need to do is figure out what we want to do, do we want to stay with Adena, do we want Adena [to] go to the township so we can get more grants, so we can get more officers or, what do we do because we’re just killing ourselves both places, that’s all we’re doing,” Carpenter explained.

He said domestic cases have kept him busy and it’s getting “crazier” up in Smithfield. Carpenter said he’s gotten to know Smithfield now that he’s been working for them as well but wants more police officers to help with the Adena area.

Seasonal camping returns to Sally Buffalo

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – One of the victims of the COVID-19 crisis was seasonal camping at Sally Buffalo Park. All campers except for people who lived year-round, had been told to vacate the premises. But at last Thursday’s Cadiz village council meeting, Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski informed council of a change to the rules.

After a review by Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros, “it was determined that the new State order does permit seasonal camping.” And campers have now been advised that they can return to their homes at Sally Buffalo Park. Andrzejewski explained that reading further into the governor’s directive that if a camper had been parked at the

ADENA

From PG | 1 “I’m getting swamped,” he told council stating that he had three calls waiting for him the day of the meeting before he even began his shift. “All I’m doing is paperwork. People say they don’t see me, well, I can’t help that.”

Carpenter said he’s also fielding calls concerning drugs, which he is also trying to stop in the area.

He said with a better chance at grants that means more things to purchase and he wants that for the people.

“I should be patrolling and assisting my officers,” Carpenter said. Mayor Brenda Roski said they needed to act on this while noting that Smithfield village is dissolving per the election results from last November.

“That’s what the goal is with this police department,” she said referring to what the Short Creek Joint Fire District provided for Adena, which is equipment and 24-hour service. As a motion was

grounds as a permanent home then campers would be able to live there.

“Now the only caveat to this is it still does not allow campers to come there on the weekend if it’s just like for one or two days,” Andrzejewski he told council. He said the majority of their revenue comes from the campers that are there year-round.

Andrzejewski also touched on the proposed parking lot at the former site of the high school. He said both Bob Allen of E.L. Robinson and Wastewater Superintendent Tom Carter joined him on a Zoom call the previous week. Discussed were the storm water drainage plans and he said both Allen and Carter approved of the plans.

Also revealed was that the village is down $239,000 in income tax revenue when comparing January to April, 2020 with the same timeframe

as last year, according to Andrzejewski. He said there was the possibility of catching up “a little bit” considering the filing deadline has been extended.

“And that is just for a couple of months of this virus,” he said referring to possibly only making up half that amount. “I’m just concerned, I’m not panicking. I don’t want anyone to panic but we’re going to watch this thing and I just wanted to make council aware that we know about it, that we’re on top of it and we’re not going to let it get out of control.”

Also, Council Member John Vermillion suggested not renewing their Notify Now contract with TRZ Business Services, which is up in July.

The contract he said, was brought in by former village administrator Charley Bowman and has not been

being made Village Solicitor Adam Martello interjected to explain what was involved and what the village was about to vote on.

“It wouldn’t just be Adena Police Department anymore, Adena would be covered by the police district (Smithfield)…” he told council with the goal for more than just two entities (Adena and Smithfield) to eventually join the police district.

But Carpenter noted earlier that two other villages including Dillonvale were not interested in joining. When asked about Mt. Pleasant Carpenter said they would not be joining “right now.” He said they were thinking it over but were “trying to do something else.”

“Generally it’s a good thing for smaller municipalities, especially one with only one officer that’s not on full time,” Martello stated. “It’s a little more to it than just joining a police district right? so, you kind of have to decide the balance how you want

to go there.” He said a representative for the district board would be from Adena’s council and Carpenter would then answer to that district board, which would be made up of all the municipalities involved.

“Like I said generally, it’s a good thing because you could kind of pull resources,” Martello told council. Carpenter continued by expressing his fears that what happened in Smithfield could possibly take place in Adena and wanted to prevent what he’d gone through in Smithfield as a police officer. He told council he wants better equipment and cruisers, more police officers and repeated the claim of more grants.

“My goal eventually is run two cruisers, that’s what I want,” he said adding that he is looking at Wells Township to see how they’re doing it. “Now when we do get a police district they want twenty-four seven, and that’s their goal and they been pushing it. They’re just waiting for Smithfield to dissolve.”

Council voted to consolidate with one opposition, which came from President Mark Anderson. Asked later he said the feedback he’d been receiving on the issue was that consolidation was not what people had voted for.

Also announced was clean up day, which is scheduled for June 6.

used much.

“We’ve only used [it] twice,” he told council adding that the amount on the contract was for $1,273.50. “I don’t feel like that we use it enough to be having this.” He explained that with the various avenues for social media that it was not worth paying the money. He asked for a motion to pay the 2019 bill and to not renew the contract any further.

Mastros explained that the motion to discontinue service with TRZ was good but that he would prepare an ordinance for the next meeting.

Treasurer Amy Ossman informed council they would also need to notify TRZ via letter and with 90 days in advance.

Mayor John Migliore raised the issue of a leased police cruiser and the company holding that lease sold out to another company. He said the new

company does not wish to hold the lease. Migliore said that instead of paying the leasing company the village would pay Huntington Bank the $583.83 per month for 36 months. He reminded council that the money has already been appropriated and stressed that if council did not act on this they could lose the cruiser.

Mastros, though, stated that as long as the village was making payments that the leasing company could not come and take the cruiser away. He said it would take an ordinance for the village to take out a loan with Huntington Bank to pay off the vehicle. Mastros also said he would like to first speak with the appropriate people including Chief Ryan McCann to straighten everything out before acting on this ordinance.

Vermillion also brought up the fireworks issue and a contract for it to be enacted on June 27. There is also a stipulation to cancel 45 days in advance giving the village only one more week to decide. Andrzejewski said Thursday that the issue was still under review.

The meeting began with a tribute to Mary Banks, longtime water and sewer clerk for the village of Cadiz who recently passed away. Mayor John Migliore spoke glowingly of her service of 39 years. Banks was also a valedictorian of the Hopedale class of 1964, as well as a former teacher.

Migliore said Mary was also a member of the First Church of Christ in Cadiz along with being an officer of the Christian Women’s Fellowship. Leading into the meeting everyone took a moment of silence for Mary.

AWARDED

Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds made available under this phase of the program.

Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary non-profit or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive Federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs and 6) if they are a private voluntary organization, have a voluntary board, qualifying agencies are urged to apply.

Harrison County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds previously with Harcatus Tri County C.A.C. Inc participating, this agency provided 13,977 meals with the federal funds with the last phase.

Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Becky Brandon or Melissa Perry, 122 S. Main St. Cadiz, Ohio 43907 or 740-942-8886 for an application. The deadline for applications to be received is May 26, 2020.

the contract bid in case the village would need any extra funds in case of a change order for any “unforeseen” issues that might arise. He said if the $255,000-plus is not used then the loan would be reduced by that amount.

Andrzejewski said that when factoring in the power plant’s $1.1 million commitment and the $1.3 million part of the loan forgiven, this could leave the village with a loan of only $800,000 to $900,000 to take out.

Regarding the latest word on power plant progress, there is not much. When contacted last month Harrison County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen stated via email, “…for any business right now throughout the entire world the COVID-19 virus adds complications. That being

said HPL does not believe it will add significantly to their current structure of the project as a whole.” When asked for further clarification Homrighausen said that plans for the power plant are still moving forward.

“We continue to stay engaged with them on a regular basis as we have throughout the entire project,” He said. Back in January EmberClear announced the awarding of a contractor Gemma Power Systems for the project.

Andrzejewski also said Cadiz was due a rebate from the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation for $18,120.

“This money is to help the Village with anticipated lower tax revenues due to the coronavirus pandemic,” Andrzejewski explained in his report.

“I wanted to make sure that we had financing in place in the event that the power plant does not go through or that they’re behind and we don’t get the money in time,” he stated. He said what was written and presented to council was that the money would be enough to complete the project just in case the power plant does not come through on their end.

He continued by stating that $1.3 million of the total loan would be forgiven “provided we get the extra councilmen on board certified.” Andrzejewski also explained that there is a $255,382 contingency, which he said amounts to 5 percent of

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy Did you know the Latin root of the word “quarantine” is 40?

This is according to Pastor Wilford Simeral and his wife, Anna, in their weekly Smithfield Christian Church newsletter sent to parishioners during this time of confinement in their homes. They give meanings of the number 40 from the Bible, which are thus: The flood lasted 40 days. For 40 years Moses fled Egypt. For 40 days Moses stayed on Mount Sinai to receive the Commandments. Exodus lasted 40 years. Jesus fasted for 40 days. It was supposed to be 40 days for a woman to rest after giving birth.

A group of theologians thinks the number 40 represents change. It is a time of preparing people to make a fundamental change. Remember, whenever the number 40 appears in the Bible, there is a change. Pastor Simeral tells that this is the year 2020 and 20 plus 20 equals 40.

Twenty/twenty vision is perfect.

As well. May our sight focus on living according to His perfect vision. Due to the quarantine, rivers are cleaning up, vegetation is growing, the air is becoming clearer because of less pollution, there is less theft and murder, healing is happening.

On May 15th, family and friends wished Jim and his twin, Dave, a very Happy 98th Birthday!!!

Thank you for all the birthday expressions of love and friendship.

You made their day a memorable one.

In our area of County Road 20, we have pastures, orchards, empty lots and areas that are planted with crops that are needed for winter use on farms and for gardening. Therefore, we are known to hear coyotes putting up their chilly howling in the night. It is frightening to hear but in reading the latest issue of the Farm Bureau magazine “Our Ohio,” I learned some mannerisms of the animal.

Coyotes spend much time watching us. They are learning from us and are always in close proximity to people even though people might not be aware of them, according to Stan Gehrt, who researched them in the Chicago area for the past two decades. “The vast majority of coyotes in cities have a healthy fear of people, as they should,” he said. “But when they lose their fear, that is when you might find someone being bit. In the past two decades, they’re not just drifting through cities, they are moving in, having babies and setting up territories.”

Even with more coyotes living in cities and suburbs, they rarely injure people because for the most part coyotes prefer to avoid people, even if they are located nearby. But on occasion, they will step out to an area with people just to see if they can.

How people respond can determine whether coyotes feel they can claim the area. When people run back into their houses, they learn it is okay to be in the same area. They need to be scared away. Teach them where they can and cannot be.

To a large extent, they are not dangerous but you do need to be vigilant,” the author concluded.

National Poppy Day is May 22. The purchase of one of these poppies, handmade by hospitalized soldiers, is to remember a fallen one. This is to symbolize a way to honor the memory of those who gave their lives in the service of their country and most are sold by the auxiliary or in schools. They have a membership exceeding 121,000 ladies in military uniform. The red poppy was adopted as the American Legion’s official flower, a symbol that would help the public remember the fallen for centuries to come. If you get a chance, buy a poppy.

By Ina Marks I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day with family and friends.

I want to thank my families and friends for all the flowers, phone calls and visits for Mother’s Day. Everything was very much appreciated.

I know folks are using common sense with this virus and word is that some things are opening. Sounds great, but I hope it is not too soon. Just have to hope for the best.

It was an uplift to see the employees of Gables taking to the streets of Hopedale. Then

ended up back at Gables for the residents hoping to add some cheer to their daily life that has been upended by the virus crisis.

I am sure they enjoyed the effort that the employees showed.

Bless you for making their day.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to all celebrating, also anniversaries.

Prayers and best wishes go out to all that are ill, shut-in, having test. Bless you all and always remember their caregivers. They are so important.

Sympathy and prayers go out to the family and friends of Jane Arnold, Donald Alkins, Mary Banks, Deborah Ferguson, Jacob “Jake” Hill and all the others that have lost loved ones, you will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace. Bless all of you.

Looking back at the Georgetown Preparation Plant

Georgetown Preparation Plant - Hanna Coal Company. The Georgetown Plant was the world's largest commercial coal preparation plant, having a capacity of 1,500 tons per hour of raw coal, or 1,275 tons per hour of clean coal. Two railroads, the Nickel Plate and the Pennsylvania served the plant. Some 21 miles of single track were laid to service the plant. Some 840 railroad cars could be accommodated in the empty and loaded car yards. With the aid of an electric switching system, a man at a control panel inside the scale house could assemble the cars to make up the trains for shipment. When the plant was operating at capacity, it could load one railroad car every 2 1/2 minutes. The railroad cars of coal were weighed almost immediately after loading. This insured that the customer did not pay freight on any moisture accumulated by rainfall while the coal was in transit. The gases from the dryer furnaces passed through a cylindrical "scrubber", where sprays of water removed the dust before the gases were released into the atmosphere.

From PG | 1 is to be reported to the state and to see what all has been collected over the year.” The CARES ACT required that all “contract revenue” be deposited into this new line item.

The commissioners then approved of $15,000 for transfer into this account for Harrison County Public Transit. The revenue is to be reported to ODOT “in order to be reimbursed for all expenses at

Also, an emergency medical contract (2-20) was renewed with the Harrison County Community Volunteer Fireman’s Association (HCVFA).

“This is the same contract we’ve been operating under for a number of years,” Coffland stated with no changes. The contract is for one year to provide medical services for the county. Coffland said each squad receives 60 percent collected from a run with the HCVFA receiving $1 out of the

Also, every department is to be paid $100 for every Medic Assist and $75 for each Advance Assist. Each county squad is responsible for paying expenses for the vehicles such as tires, oil, gas and wipers for example.

Also, the commissioners approved to advertise for bids regarding the County Home’s wastewater treatment plant work for Phase One. Coffland stated bids are to be received until 10 a.m. on June 2. The estimate, according to Coffland is $239,000 by the engineering firm, Hull & Associates.

By Pastor Ken Staley: Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churhes

Living on Purpose with Purpose Everyone talks about it, young and old alike. You’ll hear people say, “Where did this month go?” or “She’s graduating from high school? Wasn’t she just born 8 or 9 years ago? That just can’t be!”

There’s no doubt about it, time flies. This is why it is so important for us to live on purpose with purpose. Without purpose we merely exist. How many of us have gotten up from the sofa to get something in another room of the house and when we get to the other room, we have no idea what we were going after? Imagine living your whole life like that.

Moses addressed living with no purpose when he said, “Lord, teach us to number our days so that we can present to you a heart of wisdom and establish the work of our hands”. Many people, Christians and unbelievers, live out their days just waiting for life to come at them. Doris Day had a hit song that came out of that

60 percent to be held in a training fund. “[The] county will receive forty-percent of the funds to be used for maintenance, insurance, billing supplies, collections and other expenses deemed to be the counties responsibilities,” as read by Coffland. The training fund is to be maintained at a $1,000 minimum and disbursed by the Fireman’s Association.

Other expenses include $55 paid to each department for every transport, $35 for a “refusal, assist or disregard.”

philosophy, “Que Sera, Sera.

Whatever will be, will be.” King David echoed Moses when he prayed; “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth is.

Remind me that my days are numbered…to you Lord each of us is but a breath.”

This theme continues in the New Testament when the apostle Paul tells the Ephesians to, “be careful how you live; not foolishly but like those who are wise. Make the most of all your opportunities because these are evil days. Don’t float through life with spiritual amnesia but understand what the Lord wants you to do.” We’ve all seen movies like “The Bourne Identity” and others where the lead character is suffering from amnesia and doesn’t know who he or she is. It makes for a great movie but not a great way to live our life.

In a boxing match when a fighter is exhausted and has no strength left in his punches he

will go into “bob and weave” mode, ducking punches and just trying to make it to the final bell with no hope of winning. That’s not the way God has called us to live.

We have a twofold purpose while on earth, pursue God and love people. Scripture says we have all been given a purposeful gift, a talent with which we can help others, not just a gift to make a living but to serve others. Jesus said that he did not come to earth to be served but to serve. He is our example.

Your gift…your talent…your “wiring” is your purpose.

God has no spare parts , no one has been left out. If you’re not sure what that gift is or how to proceed, do what James says in his epistle, “ask God for wisdom, He gives it liberally to all who ask.” Everyone of us must ask, “Lord, what have you put me on earth to do?” Age doesn’t matter, it’s never too late to get in the game.

The apostle Paul told the Thessalonians that he was

praying for them to live a life worthy of God’s calling and that God would give them the power to accomplish all the good things their faith was prompting them to do. Isn’t that interesting? Our faith…our talent…our gifts should be prompting us to do something for other people and, ultimately, God’s glory.

I heard a Christian author tell the story of her mother-in-law who, sadly, had to be placed in a home for Alzheimer patients.

The author’s mother-in-law had given up her dream to be an opera singer when she was young so she could settle down and raise a family. And all those years later, confined to an Alzheimer’s home, she would walk the halls at 3 a.m. singing opera music at the top of her lungs.

We have a choice: spend a lifetime suppressing the gift that God has put in us, or surrender to His will and purpose now and say, “here am I Lord, send me.”

John Henry Gray John Henry Gray of Scio, Ohio, died Monday, May 11, 2020, at Union Hospital in Dover, Ohio, from cardiac arrest after suffering a fall on Sunday. He was 89.

Mr. Gray was born July 3, 1930, in Auburn Township in Tuscarawas County, the oldest of seven children born to Henry John and Ida (Stress) Gray. At 17, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving three years before returning home to Harrison County to work in the steel mills.

When he found himself laid off, he once again chose to serve his country, this time enlisting in the U.S. Air Force. He served 17 years, with assignments that included a tour of duty in wartime Vietnam as well as postings in Germany, England, South Dakota and Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma. He retired in 1968 as a technical sergeant.

While stationed in England, he met an Italian girl, Michelina Basile. She would joke that she liked him for his car, a 1956 Chevy, but their love had staying power; they dated, married and had three children, Anthony, Elizabeth and Joseph, before the family moved to the States, when John was reassigned to South Dakota. Their fourth child, Paul, was born there.

After retiring from the service in Oklahoma, Mr. Gray moved the family to Jewett, Ohio, near where he grew up and near where his parents and four of his siblings lived. He went to work as a mechanic at the Scio Pottery Company, then later as a welder at Nolan Company in Bowerston.

He retired in the 1990s.

In his retirement years, Mr. Gray spent time working on cars and other automotive machinery, often

helping friends and neighbors with vehicles in need of repair. He also liked making the rounds of estate auctions to hunt for vintage or antique cast iron pans — often giving them to his children, all of whom now own a Griswold or two — and tending his backyard garden. He enjoyed working on his computer, morel mushroom hunting, and arts and crafts — he made wood canes and steel yard decorations — and liked helping others. Most of all, he loved sitting around with family telling stories.

He was a former member of the Scio American Legion and of the Jewett Sportsman Club, where his kids loved to swim.

Michelina Gray died of end stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 2009 after a brief illness.

A few years later, Mr. Gray sold the family home in Jewett where he had lived for more than 40 years.

After stints living with his daughter in Florida, and then with his sister, Shirley Snyder, on her farm outside Jewett, he settled in Scio, where he had been living for the past few years.In addition to his parents and his wife, he was preceded in death by a grandson, Tyler; and a sister, Nancy Jean Gray.Surviving are his dear friend and companion Beverly Custer of Dennison; six children: Anthony Gray (Jolene) of Euclid, Ohio; Joseph Gray (Chris Layton) of Chicago; Elizabeth Greer (Dale Covington) of Cape Canaveral, Florida; Paul Gray (Cody Wilson) of Zionsville, Indiana; Robert Ziegler (Marga) of Germany and Henry Ziegler (Gerlinde) of Germany; three brothers: Billy Gray of Phoenix; Rodney Gray (Donna) of Twinsburg, Ohio and Robert Gray (Frances) of Germano; two sisters, Shirley Snyder of Jewett and Betty Blood (Dale) of Prescott Valley, Arizona; dozens of nieces and nephews; and nine grandchildren.

Memorial contributions may be made to support the Conotton Creek Trail, part of the Rails-toTrails Conservancy, 90151 Kilgore Road, Scio, OH 43988.

A private service will be held at a future date, assisted by ClarkKirkland Funeral Home, Cadiz, Ohio. Online condolences may be made at www.clark-kirkland.com.

Custer events canceled County Home parade offers due to virus concerns visitation for residents

By ED BANKS

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

NEW RUMLEY – Snow, ice, and conflicts with December activities didn’t stop birthday celebrations for the General George Custer committee. Nor did rain, thunder storms or exceedingly cold weather in June for the New Rumley events. A small but dedicated committee started celebrating the general’s 1839 birth the first week in December and first week in June some time back.

This year a virus so deadly it covered many parts of the earth with death, loss of jobs, home confinement and other restrictions brought many nations to their knees. Churches, schools, sports events, meetings, graduations and other events that have been taken as normal have been canceled to keep people from infecting each other. One of the popular events of late spring was the Custer Observance, with Harrison County American Legion posts taking part and David Rose starting the program with

introductions of officers and dignitaries having a huge interest in the general who was born in Harrison County.

“This year, after much consideration and coordinating with the Ohio History Connection, the New Rumley United Methodist Church and guidance from the Ohio Governor DeWine and local officers, it is being canceled from its June 6 date,” said David Rose, president.

“We held off as long as possible, hoping the coronavirus would be contained in a few months, but even with the recent guidance relaxing some of the safety and health procedures, it was felt it would not be conducive to hold the event. Welfare of our members, guests and participants were of primary concern. While the June observance is cancelled, we are hopeful to be able to have our December birthday event,” Rose explained.

Also cancelled is the Custer Battlefield Historical and Museum Association weekend activities scheduled for June 25-28 at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National

Monument. The “Battlefield Dispatch” stated, “The welfare of members is our primary concern.

If even on person were to contact the virus, that would be unacceptable.”

Custer observances held each June from 2009 to 2019 had the following impersonators: Pete Raymond as Lincoln, 2009; Harold George, 2010 and 16; 6th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, 2011; Steve and Lisa Ball, 2011 -2019; Gerald Payn, as Lincoln, 2012; Ron Kimble, 2013; James Crabtree, 2014; Steve Young, 2015; Moore and Stewart, a singing duo, 2017; Nicola Sgro, 2018-19; Main Street Brass quintet, 2019; Leroy and VanHorne, a collector of Custer memorabilia and secretary for the group for many years, 2009 and 2019; Rose and Rick Williams, 2019.

There has been a Custer impersonator, Rick Williams, coming from Delaware, Ohio since 2009 for both yearly events.

He and his finance were married during his New Rumley Custer years and Williams has been an amiable person to fill the role after the departure of Steve Alexander of Monroe, Michigan, who was before him. Williams was generous in letting this writer hold a heavy saber over a decorated cake for birthday parties as my birthday was December 3, close to the December 5 birthday of the general.

Of note is the death of Nancy Purviance, 1920-2020, formerly of Scio who died Feb. 17. She was born in Mount Pleasant and preceded her husband, Wiliam “Bill” Purviance, in death. They operated the Purviance Funeral Home and Purviance Furniture Store. She was a charter member of the CMA and of brigadier general rank in the Custer Calvary.

Rose reminds members of the 2020 membership renewal that is due now. Members can consider making an additional donation for rank in Custer’s Cavalry. CMA members get a 10 percent discount on items available from the CMA Gift Shop.

CADIZ - Social distancing and lockdown practices remain a problem for individuals living and working in the health care industry. As the weeks go by the yearning to see relatives and friends weighs heavy on both those living in the facilities and their relatives and friends.

Though visitations on the telephone or other devices bring some satisfaction, seeing someone in person is the only way we can really be completely gratified.

This past Friday the staff at the Harrison County Home put together a unique way of providing a face-to-face visit with residents, family and friends.

With the help of the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office and the Harrison County Emergency Management Agency, a parade from Cadiz to the County Home was formed and the group made their way to the Home in holiday fashion. The cars and trucks that made up the parade were driven by family members, other relatives and friends.

Waiting on the three large porches to receive their guests were the residents and staff were in review. The parade was designed to make its way around the building and the three porches. Short stops to recognize the individual residents produced joyful

Residents of the Harrison County Home got a treat last Friday in which a parade of visitors traveled to the home to brighten their spirits during this time of crisis.

emotions from everyone involved.

The event was planned by the Harrison County management staff and the activity and social supervisor. The County Home wants to thank the Sheriff’s office and the County EMA for their time and efforts to make

the parade a very successful event.

In addition, thanks went out to the participants in the parade and the staff at the County Home for making the drive-by visitation rewarding for our residents and their families and friends.

Clerk of Courts announces re-opening plans The Harrison County Clerk of Courts’ Title Department will begin its re-opening process on Monday, May 18. Hours of operation will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.

They have installed an intercom system to communicate with

customers to limit face-to-face interactions. Customers will be asked to complete a short questionnaire to accompany their paperwork and provide a phone number where they can be reached while they complete the transaction. No debit or

credit cards, cash or check only.

You will not be able to obtain any BMV related services such as temp tags, license plates, renewals, driver’s license or State I.D.’s. They do not know when we will be able to provide those services to you.

Friends’ first Little Free Abbreviated Junior Fair to be held Library launched

By ESTHER MCCOY

The Friends of the Puskarich Public Library have launched their first “Little Free Library” in Harrison County. They have been working on this project for over a year.

The “Camp Pennington” Fundraiser organized by Brooke Bardall at Pennington’s really got the project rolling with funds raised specifically used to construct and provide books for the Little

Free Libraries. This one preserves a piece of history as it was designed as a replica of a car built by the Jewett Car Company. The doors open and highlight both adult and children’s materials.

Standing with the first Little Free Library in Jewett located at the Veteran’s Park is left to right: Sandi Thompson, Library Director, Pete Koch, Manager at Pennington’s, Dwight Busby, Mayor of Jewett,

Sam Bates and Carole Bates, Friends of the Puskarich Public Library. Little Free Libraries are the “take a book, leave a book” gathering places where people share their favorite reads.

Other Little Free Libraries will be established throughout the county with the Clark Branch Friends of the Library getting ready to start their installations as well.

CADIZ – Although the 2020 Harrison County Junior Fair will be abbreviated this year, there will be a time for 4-H and FFA members who worked throughout the spring and summer raising livestock to go to the auction ring for a sale.

Many times money from these sales was put aside for college or perhaps for a car to travel to work. So that part of the fair was something members always looked forward to and will be held. This will be limited to buyers and family members, according to Caity Romshak, 4H educator. But many aspects of the event that started in 1853, as one premium book designated, will have to be eliminated. The coronation of a Junior Fair queen, king, princess and prince; fun contests; a square dance; and just the joy of being together for many days at the fairgrounds won’t be there. And don’t forget all the great food. The 2019 court was Joyce Barr, queen; Zeb Fisher, king; Mallorie Dean, princess; and Ellis Jackson, prince.

“The auction barn will follow safety rules of the sale as much as possible. Social distancing for the sale can be hard to do with

animals but must tried to be observed as well as those who are seated in the stands. They must practice social distancing while attending the show and presenting the animals. There will be red tape marks where to stand as we want to keep the buyers, families and 4-H and FFA members safe,” Romshak said.

The fair is not the only event taking a hit this year, COVID19 wiped out all school sessions, sports events, traditional graduation ceremonies, trips for delegates who were named to travel from home and attend sessions and now a regular fair as they had come to accept it over the years. It just didn’t happen to them though, it happened everywhere and for many nations. It will be something teens and youngsters can tell their grandchildren about in years to come. “Our members will have an opportunity to learn lessons from this: taking the results and making it a learning opportunity.” the 4-H educator said.

Adena Alumni Association offers aid to closed facility

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com ADENA – The Adena village council held their first full meeting in two months where they met at the Short Creek Joint Fire District firehouse Tuesday evening and stepping up to the plate was Mitch Toto of the Adena Alumni Association (AAA). In response to the closing of Adena’s Community Center, which was made earlier in the year.

The building also houses the museum and Toto, on behalf of the AAA was offering free labor in hopes of kick starting the re-opening of the facilities. As Mayor Brenda Roski previously noted though, much work is needed along with the fact that some elements are unsafe, as Village Solicitor Adam Martello noted.

Toto acknowledged some of the costs and addressed three main concerns where he said he could purchase fire doors for $1,500 and free shipping, restroom fixes from

$800 to $1,000 and a gym floor for around $500 after doing some research.

“Our alumni association members will volunteer to do these renovations,” he told council. He also said he is in the midst of accumulating donations “to cover the cost of the materials.” He also said other improvements could come depending on how much money is raised.

“We have about five hundred Adena alumni to contact,” he said adding that work could be done in time for the start of the 2021 year after donations are collected. He said moving the museum wasn’t realistic and that much work and money had previously been put into it.

“Also, without the development of the Heritage Day Museum our present alumni museum will cease to exist after the generation of Adena High School alumni passed on,” Toto explained. He said the Lions Club and Heritage Day committee “should also contribute some

N A T I O N A L

additional funds to help the development and preserve Adena’s history.”

Toto finished by asking the mayor and council to accept his proposal and specifically to allow the alumni members to raise the funds and do the repairs. When asked if a motion was needed for them to proceed Martello told Roski that more than one estimate would likely be needed.

He also stated that it was important to know that whatever work the alumni association would do would not void any insurance policy currently in place.

“So I don’t think it’s as simple as voting on it tonight, I think we need to look into it a little bit more as far as the cost, who is going to do it…,” he told council. Martello said it was okay if council allows the alumni to do the work but stressed that a contract backed by an insurance policy will cover any mishaps.

Martello also expressed concern over having casualty insurance in case anything goes wrong. He wished

to make sure that any coverage was backed by the work that is proposed to be done.

Roski asked council if they wished Toto to do the work while reminding them that a vote had already been taken months prior to officially close the building. She also emphasized for council to let Toto know their intentions and to not leave the alumni waiting for a decision.

“If you want that building to be open we do not have the funding to pay any more than the electric bill with nothing in there and the insurance,” Roski stated. “We don’t have the money, if we have the money we would try to help. That money that goes in that community center runs that park…if we put all the money in that building we have nothing to run this park with.”

Toto said he would agree to work with Martello to come up with some kind of proposal, along with Council Member Marla Brokaw, who works on the parks committee to work with Toto as well.

Freeport approves wastewater ordinances

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

FREEPORT – Two motions were approved at Wednesday’s Freeport village council meeting dealing with the county-aided wastewater treatment plant project. All three Harrison County Commissioners were on the teleconference, which led to a lengthy discussion and rates residents will incur for all future customers.

Commissioner Paul Coffland stated survey work was still ongoing and said that could be completed in a “few weeks.”

Also being worked on was the Low-to-Moderate-Income (LMI) study, which will factor in regarding possible grants.

Treasurer Mary McBride read the resolution, which would authorize the village for entering into an agreement with the Harrison County Sewer District (HCSD) “to provide for the termination of water

service by the village to customers of the sewer district who our delinquent in the payment of sewer charges and providing for terms, condition and notice requirements for the termination.”

When Mayor Terry Stine asked if this meant the village had the option to turn customer’s water off for delinquent sewer payments, Hillyer said it would not be an option but an agreement with the county to turn the water off under said circumstances.

Another item addressed was the issue of all new customers to be charged a $40 monthly fee, which is not a choice by the village but a requirement if they are to receive government loans.

Commissioner Don Bethel explained this week that if the village did not agree to the rate then “the loans would be denied and the project stops.”

“It’s been recommended to the county commissioners that we bill monthly,” Coffland stated.

Stine said it would be more agreeable to seek a $40 payment per month than to let it ride for three months seeking a $120 fee.

When asked if the water and sewage bill would be put together Stine said it would not because the county is not taking over the water system in Freeport. He explained that if the sewer bill is not paid and to prevent the county from being stuck with unpaid bills, Freeport will shut the water off because of delinquent sewer bills.

Stine said it was legal to do so and used Cadiz and other municipalities as an example, where they bill the water and sewage together so collectively, customers are cut off if the bill isn’t paid.

“That’s the only way that the county is going to get their refunding money back on the sewage system,” Stine explained.

“It’s no different than one altogether, it’s no different,” he

said referring to Cadiz’s practice of billing both together. Stine said the alternative is for the county to take over Freeport’s water system, which is what council does not want because of the revenue they make off it.

“Well, it’s pretty fair across the board,” Stine said, which Hillyer agreed and began to explain that the village is basically entering into a “promise” stating that if the county informs the village of delinquent sewage bills, the village will shut the water off after the appropriate notifications have been sent.

“Because we’re entering into a partnership,” Hillyer said. Stine stated that it wasn’t any different than a utility bill for example. He said for the village to bill each month would be more reading of the meters and more work for the village clerk.

Stine explained that this project was something the village couldn’t afford without the help of the county

commissioners and applauded them several times throughout the meeting.

“And there’s no other options and it’s probably the best option,” he told council. When asked if there was a way for the village to help with people obtaining septic tanks as opposed to the sewage system, Hillyer said no.

“The state of Ohio would not allow that,” Hillyer said. Stine explained that that issue was “in the past” where people were refused septic tanks because of the type of soil.

“It’s the EPA, it’s the rules now and I guess we’ve got to follow by them…and thank God for the county commissioners… there’s no way this village of Freeport could ever afford what’s going on,” Stine said.

Commissioner Dale Norris said the $40 fee was for the loan that is needed for the design of the project plus an income study, which he said would decide on some of the sewage

connections.

Stine pointed out that what is possible with this project is for a car wash, a Laundromat or build a new house, it can be done.

“Now they can’t do it,” he said of the current situation, which he called key to the project.

Coffland clarified the situation and what is required by the county for this project.

“We have to set a rate just to be able to apply for any grant funding. These are all enterprise funds and you cannot use general fund money to pay for this. You have to make it self sufficient,” Coffland stated. He added that the commissioners originally wanted a $35 fee or lower but were told no.

Council finally passed the two ordinances, one for the possible termination of water bills, as an agreement with the HCSD. The second ordinance was to work with the county.

Freeport tables communication tower issue

FREEPORT – The communication tower that was discussed at last month’s Freeport council meeting was up to bat again Wednesday and Village Solicitor Brett Hillyer told council it wasn’t a bad deal and ran through the village’s options to consider.

“I mean look, it’s not a bad deal,” he began. “You guys are getting close to a hundred thousand dollars on the spot rather than waiting a period of years for six hundred bucks a month and the possibility that the operator doesn’t continue their lease.”

The downside, he said was that the company (InSite Wireless Group) would add an additional tenant to the lease where the village would not receive benefits

from that. Hillyer noted a “renewal provision” where the agreement was initially a “ten-year term” begun in 2015. The agreement was good for “four renewals of five years or a total of thirty years.” He said the village was in year five with 25 years left on the renewals totaling around $180,000 or, $600 per month in revenue.

“They are offering more or less, a hundred thousand dollars to waive future payments in exchange for a lump sum payment,” Hillyer told council. When Mayor Terry Stine asked his opinion, Hillyer called it “interesting.”

“Do you take all the money now or do you wait it out for the next twenty-five years and hope that potentially the tenant of that tower doesn’t decide that there are greener pastures or…” Hillyer finished with the analogy using himself as “politician Brett” to get the best deal of the taxpayer.

“Private Brett” would say that technology changes in the following 10 years but left the decision up to council.

When pushed Hillyer would not tell council what to do but again left it for a council decision, which is to gamble on the future or take the money now.

“My opinion is I think they’re trying to get over on us,” Stine said. “My opinion is leave it the same as it is right now but that’s just me, that’s up to the council.”

He emphasized the losing of $80,000, which Hillyer didn’t disagree but again left the decision up to council with the village’s finances in mind. “…In the next ten years technology could change and they won’t need that anymore so then we’re going to lose more,” Treasurer Mary McBride stated. “I don’t know, it’s like a Catch Twenty-Two.” Stine repeated that selling now means they’re losing $80,000 regardless of future technology.

“You’re still losing eightythousand dollars. If you want to give us a hundred and eightythousand for that agreement that’s fine, that way we’re not losing,” Stine explained. Hillyer offered the idea that it wouldn’t hurt to seek other contracts that other communities have dealt with.

Hillyer felt the deal would still be there for them to decide if they could not make a decision on this night. He said specific questions could be relayed to them through him and they would either come back with a higher offer or they

won’t.

“Since I’m not a resident of Freeport I don’t want to be making financial decisions on behalf of you folks,” Hillyer said, which Stine agreed stating council hadn’t come to an agreement over that amount. McBride also agreed they shouldn’t lose out on the $80,000.

She explained the $600 per month they regularly receive into the general fund now but if the village takes the lump sum of $100,000, what would they do with the money? “…The point of it is right now we’re in a financial difficulty with the sewer, so we take another hundred thousand dollars…in our books, that don’t look good,” Stine said. “My thing is a hundred thousand dollars is nothing to run a village or town, I understand that but it’s still a hundred thousand dollars.” He continued on the possible loss of $80,000 coupled with the village “barely making it now.” He repeated his disagreement with the deal.

Council Member John Koch suggested taking a vote on whether to table the decision, which Stine agreed. All voted to table the decision.

Wintersville man charged with two counts against minors

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Richard S. Burns, 18, of 601 Two Ridge Road, Apt. 7 in Wintersville was arraigned in the Harrison County Common Pleas courtroom Tuesday morning on two counts of gross sexual imposition on two minors. Judge T. Shawn Hervey read the citations indicating there were two minors under the age of 13 years old.

The charges allege that the crime took place back on March 23 and that both are felonies in the third degree, which carries a Tier 3 sex offender status. This means if convicted Burns would have to register with the sheriff’s office of the community he works in every six months, and would also be forbidden to live near a school or daycare facility.

Both charges carry the same sentence of up to five years imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000. What was astonishing was when Hervey read the charge on the second offense revealing the alleged victim to be just four years of age.

Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola originally sat in as a courtesy to the court but Hervey later appointed him to defend Burns. Hervey entered a not guilty plea on Burns’ behalf and also ordered a competency evaluation at the request of Pincola.

Pincola said Burns has not been

living at his home since the case broke and since there were no allegations against him concerning his five year-old sister, that he be permitted to return home. He also noted that there was always a concern regarding these type of allegations but followed through with his request.

Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese took his turn and flatly stated that this was a “terrible idea.” His request was to place restrictions on Burns against any contact with minor children. He also requested that Burns follow any recommendations that

children’s services would have for him.

“As it relates to contact with minors the court happens to agree, will agree and will continue to impose that restriction that was from county court,” Hervey stated. Burns had posted bail after appearing in county court and was granted a release on his own recognizance.

Hervey ordered Burns to not leave the state of Ohio, report in once per week and to not have contact with any juvenile without adult supervision.
