Cadiz awarded major funding for water plant

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Positive results are beginning to be seen as the result of Cadiz village efforts in their water and wastewater replacement projects, that’s the word from E.L. Robinson’s Bob Allen who updated council last Thursday on where they stand on the few remaining projects.

The big news was that Cadiz has been awarded $2,634,000, which 50 percent of that is at 0 percent interest and the remaining 50 percent is principal forgiveness.

“This is great news for the village and will finance the needed repairs and equipment replacements,” Village Administrator, Ted Andrzedrewski wrote in his bi-monthly report.

Allen called last month’s meeting with the Small Community Environmental Infrastructure Group (SCIEG) held at the Mine Safety Training Center in Cadiz, a really good meeting. He said this group is “all the funding agencies in the state for water and sewer projects.”

“And they had very positive comments to say regarding Cadiz and all the efforts you’re undertaking,” Allen told council. “I think we’re starting to see some positive results from that group.”

Allen also spoke in positive terms regarding the feedback he was getting from the EPA as well. He told council that in the beginning of Cadiz’s problems the EPA was basically playing hardball with the village in its rhetoric and demands but now, he said they see not only what Cadiz has been going

through but the effort they are making to fix their sewer and water line problems.

He said the initial Findings and Orders issued to the village came down in 2012 and was revised in 2017.

Allen reminded council that there was certain funding that they would not qualify for such as, the unemployment rate had to be 8.4 percent, which Cadiz doesn’t meet. Allen said there was no way around that one. Median household income was another factor against them as it was higher than it needed to be.

“They want a hard schedule and the difficulty in that is that funding does not have hard deadlines for when money will be available,” Allen explained where he suggested the village meet EPA representatives in the near future for review of the projects.

Allen then moved on to the south and center trunk line project worth nearly $8.75 million where he listed the various grants the village is to receive, which include: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ($950,000), USDA Rural Development ($1.8 million) with a USDA loan of $4.55 million (lower of two rates to be determined), EPA (nearly $1.4 million with a possible 0 percent interest for 30 years).

Regarding CDBG funding (Community Development Block Grant), he said the village does not qualify as they sit currently at 41 percent LMI (Low to Moderate Income) and the line to surpass that is 51 percent. He said if they would do an income survey and happen to qualify then they would be eligible for a grant worth $750,000.

Harrison North honors veterans with ‘Poppy Project’

O

nce again the youth of our communities have poured their hearts and souls into a collaborative project similar to the Autism Awareness turtle. This year their mission was to create a field of poppies to show their gratitude to our wonderful veterans.

Students from Kindergarten through sixth grade at Harrison North Elementary participated in this art project by bringing in plastic bottle caps since the beginning of the school year. When students finished their classroom artwork they sorted the caps by color into separate containers to help with the organization.

Harrison North PTO purchased paint, plywood, and wood screws so Ms. Van Camp’s art students could get started on their sign. Once the plywood had been primed, two fifth grade students (Destiny Bethel and Emma Patterson) drew a large poppy design. The next step was to paint the poppies and add green to the background before any other construction could begin.

Students were first taught about the safety of handling power tools and the importance of wearing eye protection. Each student was offered to use the impact drivers, but not everyone was comfortable with it so others had more time to perfect their technique.

All in all, the Poppy Project took about six weeks and roughly used 1,400 bottle caps and screws.

The students really enjoyed using the power tools in their dedication to our veterans.

Thanks goes out to the county commissioners for giving the art students the privilege to display their hard work on the courthouse lawn for the community to enjoy and to let our Veterans know we appreciate everything they have done and sacrificed for our country. From the elementary art teacher, Ms. Van Camp.

A Kindergarten student works the power drill to secure bottle caps making up the poppy display to honor our veterans. The completed display can be seen at the Harrison County Courthouse.

2011-2015 LMI summary, Cadiz sits at 41.64 percent but, Allen stated that there is a plus-minus margin of error for the village of 8.40.

“So you may be very close or you may be farther, depending on how that margin of error works,” Allen said. “But that’s something to consider. $750,000 is a lot of money and that might be worth the effort.” He said Cadiz does meet three other requirements for CDBG leaving only the 51 percent LMI threshold to meet.

Allen also addressed the Phase 2 water project where he said the village scored second in the entire state qualifying them for 50 percent principal forgiveness. But when it came to Water Distribution and Storage System Improvements, the village was first out

Harrison Hills School District withdraws Barr offer to Scio I mean really, that’s it.

We rejected their offer and we weren’t going to negotiate about it.

HHCSD Superintendent Dana Snider

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

SCIO – A memo sent from the attorney for Harrison Hills City School District (HHCSD) Dan Spahn to Scio’s Village Solicitor Jack Felgenhauer, revealed HHCSD was “rejecting” their offer of the Barr Memorial Gymnasium that Scio was interested in.

“They have rejected the counter proposals and asked me to notify the Village that the offer of the HHCSD to sell any of their property to the Village of Scio is being withdrawn…effective as of today, May 17, 2019,” stated Spahn in a memo to Felgenhauer.

The words reject and withdrawn may seem confusing but Scio council took it as a complete withdrawal. Superintendent Dana Snider stressed the word “rejected” then dropped a little surprise Thursday morning when reached by phone.

“Well, the rationale with that is we’re working with another public entity who possibly would like the building, and it would be a benefit to Scio for sure,” Snider said and alluded to the fact that Scio’s offer would add too much cost to the HHCSD. “We’re not going back and forth with them, they had like 10 demands, they wanted the gas and oil rights, they wanted money, they wanted everything that was in the building, the equipment, they wanted us to guarantee that it was in working condition…” Snider explained. “We were selling it as is.”

Snider said the fire suppression system would be a “$10,000 hit” to the school if the gym would have to be set up for that. She also stated they wanted Scio to hold onto the building for at least three years before possibly selling it and that HHCSD would have first right to it.

“The District wasn’t going to put money into something to give it away,” she said. Snider also said the repairs and all that was involved would basically cost the HHCSD too much money and stated, “we’re working with someone else.”

Mayor Michelle Carpenter announced the email sent from Spahn revealing the contents at the meeting stating, “everything’s off the

Commissioners approve agreements, resolutions

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison County Commissioners, during their Wednesday meeting, sorted through a plethora of resolutions, agreements, transfers and corrections without any one item standing out.

Linda Porter of Harrison County Jobs & Family Services (HCJFS) came forward with their biennial agreement with the Harrison County Commissioners. The sub-grant agreement (26-19) as it’s called, “is to establish between ODJFS and the Board of relationship of two ‘pass-through entities’ and a ‘sub-recipient’ as those terms are used in 2 CFR 200 (category for this federal grant), promulgated by the United States Office of

Management and Budget (OMB).”

Porter said the contract was the same as in the past except for a couple of articles with one being a “conflict of interest” as in being forbidden to award a subgrant to a relative for example.

“That pretty much sums it up, it’s just our normal sub-grant to get our money brought down from the state and the federal government,” Porter explained.

She said it is a biennial agreement to run from July 1st of 2019 through June 30th of 2021.

“This sub-grant agreement is applicable to all sub-awards by ODJFS to Harrison County for the operation of the Harrison Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) that is a standalone agency and performs all duties assigned to a child support enforcement agency,”

according to the recital within the sub-grant agreement.

Commissioner Paul Coffland read the agreement and the board approved.

The commissioners also approved of Resolution (22-19), also read by Coffland, stating the authorization of the Harrison County Commissioners for directing the chairman “to file an application to the state of Ohio, to participate in the Small Cities Community Development Biennial Allocation Grant Program.

Coffland gave a brief summary on the Harrison Regional Planning Commission’s meeting last week where they awarded four communities, Harrisville, Washington Township, German Township and Deersville various sums of money adding up to $120,000.

“That’s now a biennial program versus every year and that’s where we are,” Coffland explained. Commissioner, Don Bethel stated it was changed two years ago to a biennial program with Harrison County being awarded a grant for the first, two-year cycle.

Coffland also announced that an advance made to the dog and kennel fund back in 2006 “still has an outstanding balance of $40,000.”

“The Board of Commissioners is now hereby making this a permanent transfer,” Coffland stated and went on to explain that this was part of what the state auditor’s office asked the commissioner’s office to “clean up” regarding advances and transfers.

“Again, this goes back to 2006 so we are working through the process to do that and several

different offices are involved… again, in preparation for the audit,” Coffland said. Bethel provided some reasons why some of these advances were set up since 2006, was so that the county could have an “understanding, a grasp of how much we’re putting into these agencies that are short of funds.”

He used the dog pound as an example as one being where it was meant to be “gifts” as operational funds but the only way to know how much was being placed in these different areas was to list them as “loans” or “advances” but the state auditor said to finally clean up these allocations.

He said they were “money to help sustain the operations of that department, in this case the dog pound,” Bethel explained.

He added that since 2006 the dog pound has received of the

county’s general fund, $40,000 and he wanted to note that for the record.

“A necessary expense, no doubt,” Bethel said. “A lot of areas are in a lot worse shape than that over the course since 2006.”

Also, Sheriff Joe Myers thanked the community for supporting law enforcement that past week for being involved in the LightOhioBlue campaign as the courthouse itself was lit up in blue for a week. He said while driving around the county they saw a lot of blue light bulbs and “it made us all feel good.”

Also, the commissioners announced a memo received regarding census takers that are needed and stated the pay could be upwards of $17 per hour. The job would be for the 2020 census that is just around the corner. Jobs can be applied for online at: 2020census.gov/jobs or call: 855-job-2020.

Muskingum Watershed addresses Atwood Fall Festival business

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Leading off with Atwood Lake Park news Chief of Recreation for the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) Scott Barnhart told the board last Friday that normally, the MWCD engages

in three-year contracts with the Atwood Area Fall Festival but last year agreed to a oneyear deal.

He stated that due to the festival moving to a new location they requested a change in percentages, as well as how money would be sent back to the foundation.

“Now they’re moved we’re going back to a…normal

Corrections & Clarifications In last week’s story, “Adena faces high power bills, water issues,” a resident who told council about long-standing water issues affecting her yard was mis-identified as Carol Bednar.

The correct identification is Helyn

Hopkins. We apologize for the error.

agreement that we’ve had with them for a number of years,” Barnhart explained. He then proposed the normal agreement of three years, “which is based on gate admission fees which goes to the Muskingum Watershed Foundation.”

He said the recommendation was 5 percent for 2019 if admission fees are greater than 40, then 7 percent in 2020 and 10 percent in 2021. Barnhart said the sliding percentage scale was to give the festival some “wiggle” room due to the fact that the festival is encountering “additional expenses and they’re still unsure about how things are going to move since we’ve moved the whole festival.”

When asked if he was comfortable with their accounting, Barnhart answered that they are sent a spreadsheet on an “annual basis” as well as

having a representative from the Atwood Park Committee member who sits on the festival’s committee.

“So he has access to all that data on a monthly basis,” Barnhart explained. He stated that the Atwood festival was originally started to generate off-season camping with all expenses assumed by the park.

Once it established itself they began handing off the expenses and all involved onto the festival itself.

“Our big goal was really to try to bring the communities together, give them a big fundraising opportunity, which has been very successful with…a lot of fire departments, a lot of community service organizations,” Barnhart explained. “This is their biggest fundraiser of the year plus we get a huge influx of camping at a time of the year

we normally don’t.”

Regarding land acquisition a property, Chief Financial Officer James Cugliari said went up for auction last Saturday, included a 150 acre parcel and another 16 acre parcel, which also included buildings on the land. Cugliari said they were more interested in the larger parcel “with some oil and gas well access throughout it,” and received an appraisal to help guide them in preparation for the auction.

“I want to report to the board that we were the successful bidder on parcel two,” Cugliari told them, which he added came in lower than the appraised value for $544,500.

Incidentally, Cugliari stated that they did not partake in the auction for the 16 acre parcel, which came in higher than the appraised value.

His request for approval of a

budget revision in the amount of $575,000, which covers the bid and closing cost was approved. The board also approved of Barnhart’s threeyear contract request on the Atwood Festival.

“And these funds would be coming out of the improvement fund,” Cugliari said adding that once this acquisition is paid for the Improvement fund would still contain “just under $2 million.”

Conservation Administrator Mark Swiger stated that they planned to file an exemption for the real estate taxes but would be paying an assessment fee.

“And that’s a normal process for us,” Cugliari explained. “A lot of times there will be taxes on it and we’ll have to pay probably that first year and we’ll apply for an exemption…”

MarkWest remembers fallen veterans in early Memorial Day ceremony

By BONNIE HIGGINS NH Contributor

CADIZ — Passersby may have noticed a crowd in front of the MarkWest Cadiz Administration building on Thursday. The company threw an early Memorial Day celebration to commemorate those lost and their current employees who served our country. Harrison Elementary’s sixth grade attended the event along with representatives from the police department and the area’s first responders. The American Legion played an active role in the festivities with Commander Steve Keesey as master of ceremonies. High

From PG | 1 of the line for money, behind nine other communities. But he added another angle to that stating that if any of the projects in front of them fail to go forward with theirs then Cadiz would step in line as one of the qualifiers. The estimated loan amount for this project is $1.737,000.

“I think we can say we’ve made a lot of progress but you still have to get the money in

table.”

“Everything.

No Barr (Memorial Gymnasium), no property by the Dairy Bar. All off the table as of May 17th,” Carpenter stated to the astonishment of council members. Council member Andrew Turner, after being handed a copy of the memo seemed particularly miffed when hearing the news.

“With no explanations?” he asked. “Nope, you’re reading it,” Carpenter told him after he was handed the paper.

“This is our only communication?” he asked again.

“Mind boggling,” Carpenter told him.

“Who knows. I assume they’re still going to do something with the school and take it down but that’s, I mean we have nothing in it. We have no say…we’re not the bad guy…” Carpenter said.

“I mean really, that’s it,” Snider said. “We rejected their offer and we weren’t going to negotiate about it.” She continued stating Scio hadn’t answered the rejection but

school student Carly Rogers sang the national anthem as the flag was lowered to half-mast, where it will remain until Memorial Day. Honored vets stood at attention front and center in the audience. A 21gun salute followed as Lane Harding and Todd Stringer, also Harrison Central students, performed taps. Harrison high school’s Adam Ripley reminded the audience of the great sacrifice of our soldiers and the importance of the Legion’s role in helping fellow vets and families. “Nobody can replace these fallen heroes…” said Ripley, “When we consider these sacrifices, [our support] is the least we can provide.”

After Rogers sang “God Bless America”, Keynote speaker Dan Depenhart, facilities manager of MarkWest in Houston awarded local veterans employed at MarkWest with certificates. As a former military police during the cold war, Depenhart spoke about the unexplainable bond between soldiers who come from all walks the life. He encouraged the students to remember the high price many pay for the meaning of the words in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Eric Miller closed in prayer and a luncheon followed. Students, vets, and employees alike laughed and chatted over their meals.

place, I don’t think you can move forward on that north trunk collection without significant grant funding,” Allen explained and suggested they meet with EPA representatives in hopes they agree to a schedule “the village is comfortable with.”

He said the mayor, (Ken Zitko) had some good conversations with the southeast district office chief (of EPA) and felt they understand how hard the village is working to fix the problems. “…Just keep moving forward

and working with EPA cause they’re working with you now not against you and for a while, I felt like it was more against,” Allen told council.

Andrzedrewski threw big compliments to Allen stating he’s never seen an engineering firm make the efforts E.L. Robinson has in trying to get the village their funding.

“I don’t get normally impressed but I’ll tell you what, I’m impressed with their group,” Andrzedrewski told council.

Spahn’s email is dated May 17th and Scio’s council didn’t have another meeting until Wednesday the 22nd.

“Somebody very good for the town is looking at it,” Snider repeated her claim of a second interested party. “I’m not even going to tell you for sure they’ll take it. It’s a public entity also,” but she stopped short of naming them. When asked what the HHCSD would do if Scio made another offer, Snider answered in a way that made the word “withdrawn” seem not completely final.

“I would never say never, no if they came back,” she said but felt that not everyone in Scio actually wants that gym anyway.

“What I feel happened was it was brought to their attention that they never really offered it in the proper manner…”

Felgenhauer said referring to a written offer that did not come from the School District in the beginning, though he said he was only speculating on that aspect of the matter. He said an offer to Hopedale was done in the same manner where they are interested in a separate building from the school.

“You just can’t deal with real estate by word of mouth…”

Felgenhauer stated. When Carpenter asked about Hopedale’s interest in their own school buildings Felgenhauer confirmed the village of Hopedale as well as Green Township Trustees also want a building.

“So yeah, they had their own way about how they did things and this is the end result so,” Carpenter said but Turner disagreed and said he did not think it would be.

“I don’t think this is the end result, I think there is more to come…” Turner stated. After Carpenter stated again it was out of council’s hands the conversation was dropped.

Hopedale Mayor Mike Pelegreen stated recently they hadn’t heard anything and as far as he knew the village of Hopedale was still in the running for the “white building” at their school’s location.

Snider stated “Hopedale is done” and only paperwork was left in the works. She reaffirmed that Hopedale is taking the “white” building and the township is taking the “far right” building.

CADIZ – During the Village Administrator’s bi-monthly report, Ted Andrzedrewski told council at last Thursday’s meeting there was a recent meeting with their engineers from E.L. Robinson regarding the village’s sewer and trunk line projects.

“This type of meeting will take place every month or two so that the Village can keep up with progress on all of the projects as well as financing for the projects,” he wrote in his report.

Andrzedrewski said he was going to interview three to four engineering companies and “select the one that’s going to lead us through the water projects.” He said he would make it a priority to inform the engineering company chosen that they must submit their plans by Oct. 31, which is the deadline for the village to secure funding in the amount of $1.3 million.

Andrzedrewski also said it didn’t make sense to take care of the EPA requirements

concerning their water plant project, separate from money they planned to use out of the $1 million from the Harrison Power (HP) plant. He said he has cleared it with HP representatives to use part of the $1 million to not only upgrade the water plant, but also to take care of EPA requirements.

“Hopefully they’re going to comingle somehow and we’ll be able to use the full $1 million and do both projects together,” Andrzedrewski explained. He said they would be close to having what they need if they could use most of the HP’s $1 million combined with acquiring $1.3 million of funding they are after.

Also, May 13 was the deadline for applicants in replacing the retiring Water Clerk, May Banks. Andrzedrewski said three to four applicants will be interviewed this coming week.

He said they’ve already interviewed two candidates for part time cleaning positions at Sally Buffalo Park and one day being for City Hall.

Andrzedrewski also said that he and Cadiz Police Chief Ryan McCann was looking into purchasing a police cruiser at no

cost to the village. He said Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros is reviewing the paperwork.

“We’ve asked Costa to review the documentation and contracts. I don’t want to say what it is here but will inform council what the program consists of at another time,” Andrzedrewski said adding that McCann is the one who found the program.

Regarding high grass and weeds, Andrzedrewski said residents will be notified of any violations and be given 14 days to clean up the property. He said if the clean up doesn’t get done the village will do the work then bill the resident for labor and material, plus a $200 fine.

“That’s the stick you need to get somebody to do something,” he told council. Also, the East Market Street parking lot was addressed near the end of the meeting just to answer some questions and reaffirm the village’s intentions. A $20 per month parking permit is required to park from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. with several other slots reserved for 10-minute parking.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy It is hard to believe that May is hurrying by quickly. In seven days it will be June, which promises to be an action packed month as well. June 1 has the General George A. Custer Observance.

A well known Custer historian will talk about the golden hair young general from New Rumley because he heard it all from neighbors and friends through the years. This is Leroy Van Horne, who grew up in the general's hometown.

New Rumley was once considered the county seat of Harrison County and there were many businesses in existence while the Custer family lived there, he noted. And the village exposed him to many things he could not have experienced otherwise. He has many photographs from his personal

collection to show and will make remarks on the art.

The Main Street Brass, a classical brass quintet from Coshocton will perform. They have been performing for churches, weddings and other special events and will play the National Anthem and Custer's song, "Garry Owen" at the monument at 11 a.m. Steve and Lisa Ball will perform in the Methodist Church. Lunch will be served by the ladies group of the church after the outdoor program.

We are so proud of Buckeye North Elementary School principal, Susan Nolan, for the work she did in obtaining a new seating upgrade from the Follansbee Elementary School for the auditorium. She obtained nearly $54,000 from the Charles M. and Thelma M. Pugliese Charitable Foundation to help update the decades old auditorium with newer seating and paint.

A tiny little lady with a big heart passed away on May 9. This would be Morgan Stock, daughter of Mike and Michele Freeland Stock of Amherst and her grand parents Dick and Patricia Freeland and uncle and aunt, Chris and Christina Deters, both of Smithfield. Less than 3feet tall, she loomed huge in the charitable work she did since her youth by collecting thousands of pop tabs each year, wanting to help sick children and help raise money for a cancer cure. She was popular in her high school as well, being voted Amherst homecoming queen by a 90 percent vote.

The AAA Foundation tells that Memorial Day starts the summer season and is a time teens take to the road to explore newfound freedoms. But it should never be a vacation from driving safety as it is the deadliest season for teen drivers. Some things parents should discuss with the young drivers is to always buckle up, as young people buckle up less than adults. Limiting distractions is necessary so no texting while driving. Speeding is to be avoided, something young drivers like to do to show off and absolutely no drinking and driving. We have a grandson, Jackson, who lives in Plain City, and he turns 16 in October. And all these rules will apply to him as well. The other three, Amber, Jessie and Matthew, who live in Lewis Center, have been careful, except when a deer dashed out in front of Matthew deep in the heart of Columbus and they met in the middle of the street.

Remember Memorial Day and try to attend a service in your community or elsewhere. With Lamont a member of the Piney Fork American Legion, we receive the American Legion magazine. It had a page on the flag and President Warren G. Harding was to have said in an address to the Legion's Americanism Division "Due to the great sacrifice of those in World War I we think of them as presenting the flag at its best. And we introduce it to the world as the emblem of representative democracy and justice for which this republic stands."

I was pleased to see a page dedicated to Holly Lewis of the Stevens-Christian Memorial Post 557 in Wintersville. She was in the U.S. Navy from 1985 to 1992 as an ocean systems technician, and said "When I see or salute the flag, I remember the men and women who sacrificed so we could be free." She is post commander and the post has a flag retirement, where nearly 500 flags are retired properly. It was great to see someone locally honored in the magazine.

Again remember all who gave their lives s we could have the country we have today. Attend a service and thank veterans for their service.

Get well thoughts and prayers to: Jerry Zende, Sharon Atkins, Dolly Tipton, Paula Kimble, Sonny Capers, Tony Capers, Joe Case and Dolly Snyder.

Before I go: 1) Sometimes it’s better to just remain silent and smile. 2) As we go through life, we start to understand that it’s not important to have a lot of friends.

What truly matters is that we have real friends. 3) Lucky are those who find a true loyal friend in this fake world. 4) Hope is being able to see that there light despite all of the darkness. 5) Live life for every season – spring, winter, summer and fall. Live each day like it’s your last. Not one but live them all.

What is Memorial Day you ask?

A day on which those who died in active military service are remembered.

Traditionally, observed on May 30, but now officially observed on the last Monday in May. Have a good week, God bless and be safe on Memorial Day. SCIO

By Ruby Foutz Congratulations to Sunkissed Hair and Day Spa to their new location at 339 Grant Street, Cadiz. That place is really a neat place. Stop by and just say hello or get some beauty treatment.

They would love to see you.

If you're going down Rt. 250 across from formerly Coultrap's Restaurant, you will notice something missing- the old gas station. It looked so clean that I didn't really miss it.

The Harrison Coal and

Reclamation would like to thank everyone that helped, participated and donated in any way to make their Annual Dinner a great success.

Congratulations for a job well done.

Enjoyed the picture very much of the young boys basketball team from Georgetown - Shortcreek (1931) in Look at the Past section. I'm sure many remember these guys.

Last week, this lady had her done at my shop, ABC's of Beauty and went to go home and her car wouldn't start. Several people were flagged down but no one had jumper cables. After the lady waited for about a half hour, my dear friend Mike Hauber and son Steve came by and was willing to charge the battery and get the car started so she could go home before it was too dark. We have some pretty nice people in Jewett.

Thank you Mike and Steve.

“There must have been between a thousand and fifteen hundred people on the ground. The train arrived from the west, about one o'clock; and it had hardly stopped until Mr. Lincoln made his appearance. The President elect, with his family and suite, then partook, as Mr. Lincoln said after it was over, an excellent dinner." Mr. Lincoln again appeared on the platform of the car, and told the people he could not make a speech, "as he was too full for utterance.” Mr. Lincoln was on his way to Washington DC for his inauguration.

Veterans News Submitted by the Harrison County Veterans Service Office | 740-942-8441

Richard “Dick” Harris recognized by Veterans Administration For 18 years Dick Harris has been making his way to Pittsburgh and back, transporting Harrison County Veterans to the V.A. hospital and other medical offices in the area. The Pittsburgh V.A. Healthcare System Volunteer Services recently awarded Dick with a 200,000-mile certificate.

“Dick is more or less an institution in this office, he’s been here longer than any of us”

said Service Officer Jim Thompson. “He doesn’t just transport our Veterans; he also assists them when they arrive.

He’s been known to grab a wheelchair and take them right to their appointment and be there waiting for them when they come out”.

“I would like to thank all the Veterans that I was able to meet and the office staff, the way we work together, it’s like family”

said Harris. Dick also went on to say “I came to know many Veterans over the years that I might never had met, and the hard thing is that many of them have since passed away. The memories of their company are something that I won’t forget”.

Dick continues driving the D.A.V. van for the Veterans Service office three days a week and working his way towards his 300,000 mile certificate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Veteran thanks the commissioners The Cadiz American Legion Post #34 would like to thank the Harrison County

Commissioners for their paying for the flags and markers that go on all Veterans graves.

Flag placement of new flags is done every year and new markers as needed throughout the county.

The Veteran Service Office

takes orders from the Legion and UFW Posts and turns the order to the commissioners and when they receive the flags and markers, they distribute them to the Posts for their Flag Placement day and time.

A lot of other County’s

Veteran Service Office’s have to pick up the bill. Not a cheap order.

Harrison County Commissioners take care of their Veterans.

Thank you again, Steve Keesey, Veteran

Congratulations Graduates!

HOPEDALE - A run in the fourth and two runs in the fifth pushed the Jewett Red Sox past the Hopedale Yankees in coach pitched baseball play on Sunday in Hopedale.

The first inning had the two teams tied at three at expiration.

Jewett would score three runs in their share of the first, and Hopedale mirored the scoring in the bottom half to tie things up.

and then returned to put up a pair of empty innings, just prior to Jewett taking the lead in the fourth with the single run.

Hopedale had runners on the pads, but failed to capitalize.

Jewett would get their last and two runs before the rain ending, and win by a score of 6 - 3.

ADENA – Sunday, the Sons of the American Legion (SAL), Adena Post 525, celebrated six area students from Harrison Hills and Buckeye Local, as they have each of the past 13 years.

As usual, three seniors from each school were awarded a $500 scholarship donation from the SAL, which were: Katelin Rogers of Dillonvale, Morgan Donley of Cadiz and Camryn Case of Adena. All three are graduating students from Buckeye Local.

From Harrison Hills, Sydney Starr of Hopedale, Madison Young of Cadiz and Payton Taylor of Hopedale were the three recipients and the last of the current school before Harrison Hills relocates to the new site this August and the 2019-20 school year.

Frank Nemeth was master of ceremonies and poured gratitude onto the six and what they were able to do for them and he couldn’t have been happier in his outpouring of love and hopefulness for their futures.

“All of you are very special and we’re very honored to have you here today,” Nemeth told the guests and family members. “We wish you the best of luck and we know that you will be successful because you already are.”

Among the Buckeye Local students, Rogers is a member of the National Honor Society, vice president of her class and participated in bowling and also worked 100 hours of volunteer work at the hospital. Her plan is to attend the University of Akron and she listed her military influences as George Harrah Jr. and James Rogers, both

grandfathers who served in the U.S. Army. Rogers is also the recipient of several scholarship awards including Alpha Delta Kappa ($500), Buckeye Local Board of Education ($500) and Buckeye Local Classroom Teachers Association ($500).

Donley is also a member of the National Honor Society and participated in the science club, foreign language club and was a class officer and secretary. She plans to attend Kent State University. She listed her influences as George Donley (grandfather-Army), Bruce Kasper (uncle-Air Force) and Nathan Kowalski (brother-Army National Guard). Donley is the recipient of the Edward Stanko award ($250), Jessica Mayle memorial ($750) and the Buckeye Local Junior Panthers (amount to be determined).

Case plans to study sports management at Youngstown State University. She listed her grandfather, Frank Sawko, great grandfather Frank Dosen and John Boich, a great great uncle.

All three served in the Army. She participated in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, National Honor Society and volleyball and softball teams. Case is the recipient of several scholarship awards in the name of, Jessica Mayle Memorial ($750), Adena Lions Club ($500), Bill Mazeroski Memorial ($3,000) and the Youngstown State University First Opportunity ($1,000).

Among Harrison Hills’ three recipients, Hopedale resident, Starr plans on majoring in nursing at the University of Mount Union. She listed Mike Larkins (grandfather-Marines) and Odell Arnester (great

grandfather-Army) as her military influences. She is also receiving a $15,000 per year scholarship from the UMU Deans.

Young plans on attending West Liberty State University and is the recipient of a WLU Presidential scholarship of $7,500 per year as well as a softball scholarship to be determined. She listed George Czibor (grandfather-Army) and the late George Young (great grandfather-Navy).

Taylor plans to attend the University of Akron and is the recipient of the Carroll Electric $1,000 scholarship, National Wild Turkey Federation worth $250 and $500 from the District 5 Coaches Association. Taylor listed George McAfee (grandfather-Marines) as his influence.

Each recipient stood at the front and gave a little speech of thanks and Nemeth thanked the many who helped, including his wife Debbie who worked on the food end of things. Others he mentioned were his brother Jake, Paul Romanyak, Bob Poppe and George Bomboris for the work he did on the golf scramble, which Nemeth said is a big fundraiser each year, in order to produce the scholarship money.

Nemeth talked of how they have the drive to go work for what they want because no one was going to “knock on your door and give you a job or give you a paycheck.”

“So, just follow your dreams and make your dreams come true, only you can do that,” Nemeth told the students.

Student enrollment, finances looking good for Lakeland

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com FREEPORT – Superintendent Scott Bardall stated at Tuesday’s Lakeland Academy school board meeting that attendance in March was down but April was projected to look better after they’ve already added students.

Bardall later said they are losing three seniors this year but are adding an additional 12 students, which he said would allow them to begin the year with 70 students for the first time. Bardall also reported spending was “under budget.”

Bardall moved on to academic and diagnostic testing and said he was excited at the results showing around 77 percent of students “made their annual growth or above [and] some of them significantly above.”

“The thing I guess that concerns me is we still aren’t where we need to be in terms of having at grade or above and maybe we never will but that’s my biggest goal is to get those kids caught up, and the fact that a number of kids grew by well more than a year…we’re tickled with that,” Bardall explained.

He went on to say that around 40

percent are below grade level and called that “concerning” adding that many were small kids but added that 37 percent are above grade level, as well. Bardall was also excited over several students who are above grade level in math with five out of 10 being above grade in one class with all of them in that class improving over a year’s time.

“So, that was not the case a couple of years ago,” he stated. He also said that they were making strides with their K-1 through K-3 children.

Bardall also spoke of a recent field trip and how some students were excited to ride a bus for the first

time. He also mentioned how well behaved the students were when visiting Tuscarawas Park.

Bardall changed gears and noted an audit management letter received by the Academy and an audit that is ongoing. He explained a long, complicated-sounding verbiage in a section called Noncompliance findings that basically stated their language was not clear in their handbook regarding how “we dispose of ” records and that it “complies with the law.”

“It means nothing as far as our day-to-day operation at all,” he told the board. “So it’s not like we’re in

any kind of trouble it just the document doesn’t say what it needs to so we’ll fix that.”

Preceding Treasurer Todd Johnson’s report, Bardall said they were looking at around $11,700 in curriculum purchases. Johnson stated April expenditures had come under projection by about $11,000, calling it good news and attributing some of it to “timing.”

He added their funding had increased by just short of $9,000 when student enrollment increased by one.

Overall, he said expenditures were down and revenue was up

and that their projected ending cash balance shot up from $179,000 to $203,000. Johnson informed the board about a new state program called, “Student Wellness and Success Funds,” which he said could possibly increase $25,000 to $30,000 for next year’s school year “and up to about $40,000 the year after.”

“Those are just simulation numbers right now, that could change and we won’t really know for sure until, probably close to June 30 is when the budget is required to be approved…”

Johnson explained.

Buckeye Career Center students tour Encino Energy well pad NEW PHILADELPHIA (May 21, 2019) –Buckeye Career Center students will be able to reflect on a recent oil and gas production well pad tour as they continue their education in the field.

Over 20 BCC Energy Operations, Natural Resources, and Ag & Diesel students toured the Encino Energy well pad in Harrison County on May 20, 2019. The day started with informative videos on the oil and gas industry and careers and concluded with safety procedures. Encino also provided fire retardant suits and hard hats for each student to wear to the well-pad.

The students were transported by bus to the well-site and toured the facility for almost two-hours before heading back to BCC for a question and answer session with Encino engineers. During the tour, students learned about the

process of how natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude oil are extracted and delivered from the wells to market. BCC Energy Operations instructor Brandon Irwin believes the tour will help his junior students better understand well pads as they learn more about oil and gas next school year. “It was great to see the entire process from drilling to actually separating the gas, water, and oil. It’s nice to actually see what we talk about in class. I think it makes a lot more sense to the kids now,” said Irwin.

Tuscarawas County Commissioner and former 98th district State Representative Al Landis requested the tour and attended with the students.

Landis said he thinks the informative trip will help students better understand the impact oil and gas has on Tuscarawas and surrounding counties. “Encino is a major

player and a major employer in the field. They certainly make Ohio a major player in the energy field and these students are going to be part of it,” said Landis.

Encino Director of External Affairs Jackie Stewart explained that Encino Energy recently acquired over 900,000 Ohio acres and over 900 wells from Chesapeake Energy in a historic $2 billion acquisition. With more expected growth, Stewart says the company’s long-term approach includes career development for future employees. “We believe there is way to create jobs and improve our economy while also improving our environment.

Hopefully the students saw that,” said Stewart.

This tour was the first of its kind for Encino Energy. Plans are already in the works for BCC students to tour a production rig next school year.

Hopedale UMC celebrates 150 year anniversary

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

HOPEDALE - On Sunday, June 2, the present congregation of the Hopedale United Methodist Church will observe the 150th anniversary of the church with worship at 11 a.m.

Special music will be provided

by Jeff and Cindy Burns and the service will be followed by a covered dish dinner. The community is invited to join in the worship, celebrating in song and fellowship for the many years of service.

The church has an interesting history. The home of Dr. A.W. Ramsey was the first meeting place twice each week for the Methodist Prayer Band, a congregation that was the beginning of the Methodist Church of Hopedale.

The Methodist Conference sent the Rev. Stevenson to administer to them in 1870, with services still at the Ramsey home.

Charter members were: Dr. and Mrs. A.W. Ramsey, Mrs. Elizabeth Frazier, Mrs. Sarah Burk, Mrs. Mary Ann Mansfield, Miss Lizzie Mansfield, Mrs. Lidia Couch,

Mrs. S. A. Hanley, Miss Anna Polland, Thomas Wright and, Phillip, Jolley and George Dinger.

With the Rev. Stevenson at the pulpit starting in 1870, the church was in the process of being built starting in 1873 and continuing until 1875. Until the completion of the church, services were held in the Disciples Church, as it was the only church building in the village at that time. During the pastorate of the Rev. O.S. Bachtel, 1873-1875, the new building was erected and is the same one that is still in use today. It has been repaired many times and additions have been made over the years. In August 1874, the building was dedicated free of debt. The church has been remodeled in recent years, with spacious social and church school rooms.

The following church groups were soon organized: Sunday School in 1875, Women's Foreign Missionary Society in 1878 and the Epworth League in 1891-1892. Two missionaries were sent to the foreign field for the church, Edward Busby in 1882, and Etta Green in 1884.

Olive Givin, an active member of the church for many years, is

now a missionary in Argentina, South America.

Since the beginning of the church there have been five young men called to enter the ministry: the Rev. Isaac Eugene Miller, now retired due to health problems and is residing in Cincinnati; Rev. Summer Leroy Martin, both having served as district superintendents with Martin still in active service in Indiana; the Rev. Kenneth Birney, pastor of the Leetonia Methodist church; Loren Kuhn and Lewis (Jack) Theodore, both still in school.

The current minister is Pastor Dave Quillen and over the past 30 years, the following pastors have served the church: the Rev. Ben Black, the Rev. Eric Martin, the Rev. Joe Wright, the Rev. Dave Hostetler, the Rev. Bill Westling and the Rev. Ruby Foutz. Other ministers have been the Rev. Dave Rose, the Rev. Loman Fish, the Rev. Pat Price, the Rev. Bob Hooker and the Rev. Jim McClaren In 1920, the 50th anniversary was celebrated. At that time, a Sunday School room was built and new church furniture added. In 1939, a basement was made under the entire building and used for classes and socials

A church founded in 1869, the Hopedale United Methodist Church, is celebrating its 150th anniversary Sunday, June 2, at 11 a.m. It was founded by interested Christians who wanted to have a place of their own in which to worship. The church congregation will be joined by their sister church, the Bloomingdale United Methodist Church for the celebration. The church is located at 237 Church Street in Hopedale.

when needed. New stained windows replaced the plain glass a few years ago and were given by various organizations of the church and

individuals, some as memorials.

In 2019, the Woman's Society of the Christian Service purchased new carpet. The group is very active in helping

all church departments in spiritual and social activities.

The Youth Fellowship meets each Sunday evening and a recent revival was held by them.

Tappan Marina improvements discussed at length

By JD LONG

Jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Tappan Marina’s major renovations that have been discussed in the past month passed through more scrutiny at last Friday’s Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) meeting. Chief Engineer Boris Slogar announced the work as a $6.1 million project.

“The building itself is $3.2 million of that 6.1,” Slogar stated. This was the second time this year he has gone over the plans describing the roof and basic structure as significant.

But this time they delved more into the costs in a detailed fashion “Again, making it far more inviting and bringing it into line for example with Atwood Welcome Center and our other projects that have been constructed,” Slogar explained.

He said, along with work on the interior walls an outside facelift consisting of work he just described takes $1.3 million out

of the $3.2 million in building costs.

“The bones of the building and the structure are as is,” he told the board referring to renovation versus building from scratch. Chief of Recreation Scott Barnhart said they had inquired about replacing the building and he said the answer was a flat out “no.” He said the reason was because of the square footage they would have to deal with.

Barnhart said what they would like to do is build a maintenance building across U.S. 250 and eventually store what they have now in the lower level, across the highway and into that new facility. He said more costs would consist of flood prevention along with shower and restrooms moving to the first level.

Slogar also added utility infrastructure including water and wastewater costs that add up to over $800,000. On top of that was a $373,000 Geothermal heating and cooling system, as well. He said the elevator would cost $75,000 and is an interior one.

Rekstis said a modernized kitchen would cost $355,000 with covered outdoor seating in the new deck area. Rekstis explained the wastewater treatment plant, sea wall and utilities as another $2.6 million on top of the building’s $3.2 million. Then he added on the geothermal and green infrastructure projects as an additional $600,000 bringing the project over its announced $6 million-plus.

Slogar acknowledged the amount of money going into the outside of the building and could have met a lower cost threshold by leaving the building as is, “however, I’m not sure…that would be very well received given the other dollars we’re putting into the site and the infrastructure there.”

“We just don’t see much in the way of potential savings short of really modifying the projects significantly and changing its characteristics,” Slogar explained.

In other Tappan news, Slogar called the Tappan Park at Deersville RV road and boat storage lot, “large scale earth

Bowerston Council approves part-time hire, looks at new FD parking rules

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY NH Correspondent

BOWERSTON - At the May meeting of the Bowerston Village Council, Mayor Milo Baker reported to Council the members of the Personnel Committee had met prior to the meeting and interviewed part time job candidate Josh DeVore.

Baker told Council DeVore’s application was the only one received since the April meeting of Council. Baker reported the Committee had met after the interview with DeVore and were in agreement with recommending hiring DeVore for the part time position.

This position begins at $10 per hour and allows up to 25 hours of work per week. DeVore is to begin next week, after a mandatory physical and drug screen.

In other discussion, councilman Derek Warner reported he has researched the Ohio Revised Code regarding rules governing parking near and around Fire Department buildings. The Village’s Volunteer Fire Department has had some issues with backing the new, larger fire truck into the fire station.

Warner explained the rules governing parking near fire departments, allowing the establishment of no parking within 75 feet on either side of the street of an entrance. Warner advised the

fire department will purchase the needed signage and requested that Council approve for it to be erected to block parking 25 feet from the entrance of the fire department on the same side of Main Street.

Warner further explained the same restrictions will not be necessary on the opposite side of Main, but requested approval to block parking from the alley directly across the fire hall, to approximately 4 feet from the 221 Main Street address.

Council voted unanimously to approve this request, with Warner abstaining from the vote.

Other action: - Learned from Fiscal Officer Mary Ellen Gooding that the recent audit was complete with no major issues being found and the post audit conference waived.

- Approved the addition of Council President Dan Trushell to the Village’s signature of record at Unified Bank.

- Was advised by Gooding that she is working on the Village’s 2020 Revenue budget for approval at the June meeting of Council.

- Learned from Gooding that the proposed 1.5 mil tax levy has been estimated by the Harrison County Auditor would generate approximately $6,179,56 annually.

- Discussed the Village’s current Ordinance governing the placement of manufactured homes

in the Village and agreed to review and update this document.

- Approved withdrawal from current CDBG grant funding process after determining the Village does not have matching funds to commit.

- Was advised that council members Paula Beamer and Megan John had recently performed an audit of Village streets and alleys and had established a grading system to assist with prioritizing repair work.

- Discussed recent controversy on Social Media regarding a Village property, and was advised by Solicitor Jenna Hokes that there is a procedure in place under the Ohio Revised Code to deal with inappropriate conduct regarding Social Media usage.

- Appointed Trushell to the Personnel Committee and Beamer to the Street Committee.

- Was reminded the Village of Bowerston is seeking to fill the position of Village Administrator.

The salary for this position is $250 per month and candidates must live inside the Village limit or move within 6 months of accepting the job. Anyone who is interested should send a resume to PO Box 262, Bowerston, OH 44695.

The next regular meeting of the Bowerston Village Council will be held on Tuesday June 18 at 7 p.m. in the Village Hall.

moving” work that will commence soon.

He explained the “grading improvements” to support facilities and the renovation and site improvements to the marina, which was talked about at last month’s meeting.

Slogar announced the estimated cost for the road and storage lot work to be $578,295 and said these costs were in the neighborhood of the Charles Mill work they did. Assistant Chief Engineer, Mike Rekstis explained storm water management including a culvert was part of some additional cost.

“Payback is a little over 32 years (based on 72 RV’s),” it was said related to construction cost.

Barnhart said explained the parking area development was

to “clean up the entrance to Tappan Park.” He said when driving in certain areas the way it is now, make it look like you’re driving into a storage area instead of a park and “we’re just out of room within the park to be able to house storage and get it out of site, out of mind.”

In discussing Tappan’s campground renovation for Phase 2, Slogar said it was necessary to add onto the existing contract in order to “fill our needs.” He said his office attempted to complete things in house with GPD Group, who are doing the work at the site but were not able to do that. The board approved ratification of the contract for those architectural services.

When it came to grading improvements for support facilities at Tappan Marina, Rekstis explained this work was to precede the actual Tappan Marina renovation.

This work will take place across U.S. 250 to provide better parking for boats and trailers, which sits next to the Tappan Volunteer Fire Department.

“So this area needs to be regraded so we can put more boats in there,” he stated. He added that it will also be graded out to put in place a new boat service building “at a future date…we’re going to do the dirt work to get that pad established.” Rekstis said the TVFD would not be affected and will remain on site.

ODOT announces summer road work in Harrison County HARRISON COUNTY – Earlier this month JD Marlatt, District 11 Transportation Administrator for ODOT provided a thorough update during the county and township official’s banquet meeting hosted by the Harrison County Engineer’s office.

Deputy Director for District 11 spoke first and talked about how fortunate they were to have the gas tax, which he said made for a challenge to save around $100 million in the next four years. He talked about District 11 becoming partners with many entities in Harrison County but need help in doing so.

“We need help and we want to help,” he told the audience. He talked of there possibly being district road projects of $75 million per year as well.

Marlatt then gave a lengthy rundown of what is expected around the county for this summer season beginning with a bridge replacement on U.S. 22.

- Bridge replacement on US 22 at the 2.64 Mile Marker near the village of Piedmont. “This project will require a 120 day closure which will begin June 19th and the estimated completion is Oct. 17th. The Ruhlin Company from Sharon Center, Ohio is the prime contractor with an investment of over 4.6 million dollars.”

- Box Culvert Replacement on Rt. 9 at the 21.27 mile marker just South of German Twp. Rd. 147 Mill Road. “The closure begins June 3rd and the road is

expected to reopen on June 24th. BUDS Inc. from Nashport, Ohio is the prime contractor.

- ODOT is completing an in house project on SR 646 at the 9.25 mile marker. “The closure date is scheduled for Monday, June 24th and expected to take until Friday June 28th. The closure is to repair a hillside slip by drilling shifts and driving piling.”

- A project has been scheduled to correct a slip by placing dump rock on the north shoulder of US 22 at the 14.68 MM. “NLS from St. Clairsville is the prime contractor and it has an expected completion date of July 31st.”

- A signage upgrade project for US 22 from Industrial Park Road and continuing into Jefferson County is also scheduled and is expected to be completed by Oct. 31st. “US 22 will received all new signs and supports and the work is being completed by M P Dory Company from Columbus.”

- Portions of 6 HAS CO routes will see resurfacing project this summer including: US 250 starting at the 22.03 MM at the East Cadiz Corp Limit and continuing to the 30.22 MM the West Harrisville Corp. Limit. “NLS from St. Clairsville is the Prime Contractor.”

Local businessman sets sights on paddlefish opportunity

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HARRISON COUNTY – Of all the investment possibilities out there who would think of investing in paddlefish? Local rancher and businessman, James Coffelt is one who is bringing this investment to the area.

Why paddlefish? The caviar of course, which he said, after corralling four year-olds, it takes six years for its roe to be cultivated and after a $50,000 investment, figures to garner a $2 million payoff from the value of meat and caviar.

“It’s a good way to make money on land you can’t use,” Coffelt explained. He said he bought 3,000 that arrived last Friday and will be harvested in several different ponds. Caviar only comes from the female and the paddlefish can live up to 55 years and they never stop swimming, which is another interesting tidbit to ponder.

Coffelt said the fish are caught

by net not a pole and said what is really beneficial is that, all you do is harvest what you need and let the others just swim around.

Coffelt said that after 10 years old (waiting six after the initial investment) the fish can weigh from 80 to 100 pounds and produce 2,000 pounds of caviar combined. He said the meat inside tastes somewhat like “mild catfish.”

Steve Mims, who has a BS in Fisheries Management from Eastern Kentucky, and a masters and PhD in Aquaculture from Auburn before putting in 30 years as a professor at Kentucky State University, calls the business the “black gold” of investments. He met Coffelt through a separate business contact and Coffelt is one of his customers.

“My expertise and my research has been on paddlefish and paddlefish aquaculture to develop it as a food fish,” Mims explained. He said after retiring in 2014 is when the private

business of raising paddlefish began.

Mims, who also wrote a book with William Shelton on the subject (paddlefish aquaculture), took over a repurposed wastewater treatment plant facility cleaning it up after 15 years of sitting idle where he raised various kinds of fish.

“The meat is boneless, mostly cartilaginous…” he said of paddlefish and according to information Mims provided the female roe produces caviar at wholesale prices at $100 per pound and retail at around $300 a pound.

“Paddlefish caviar is very similar in appearance and taste to sturgeon caviar,” he wrote.

According to the website (clovegarden.com) American paddlefish is rated at “vulnerable” but still allowed as a “sports fish in many locations.”

Paddlefish (from the family Polyodontidae) are sometimes referred to as “primitive fish” because there are few changes between the modern fish and those found in the fossil record found in the Late Cretaceous period. Although the paddlefish populations have declined, it’s hoped that trend will reverse as more people look to raise this fish as a food source.

for a whole year back in 2013 (eater.com).

Coffelt said that after being tipped about the business and meeting Mims he decided look into the business.

Coffelt said plans for opening a meat shop on E. Market Street in Cadiz are still ongoing and hopes to have that up and running in about six weeks. One of the people he’s working with is none other than former Penn State and NFL football player, Michael Zordich, whose dad is now a coach at Michigan.

Mims calls paddlefish an “oldnew fish” for reasons we don’t see it on restaurant menus. He said he’s tried getting people to raise it for years, people who

were already raising catfish and other species. He said paddlefish actually improve the quality of the water they’re in because they consume zooplankton and “colonial algae that are present in ponds and lakes.

Mims said they have sold the meat but to more “high-end” restaurants in order to get the most for his money and said it was well received.

“So, that’s why you wouldn’t probably see it but there just aren’t a lot of people raising it right now,” Mims said. “The people that are raising it are raising it to mature the fish and get the eggs from the female and produce caviar…”

He said the fish producing

after the first year of maturing will produce around three to four pounds of eggs, which he said would garner anywhere from $100 to $300 per pound.

Mims said the longer one waits the more they can get out of the fish but he added that most want to begin harvesting after 10 years. And the numbers are impressive as 200 fish (20 per acre), after a $3,000 investment, can produce anywhere from $2,500 up to $35,000 of gross revenue.

“So, you’re looking at 300 to up to over $1,000 for one female fish,” Mims said with the higher prices in retail. “I call it black gold myself.”
