Tappan Marina restaurant not opening this year

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – A press release received Wednesday from Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) stated that, “Because of a very shortened season due to COVID – 19, and the possibility of construction beginning in early August, Kent and Cindy Murray, operators of the Latitude 40 Restaurant at Tappan Marina, decided not to reopen for such a short period this year. They remain excited about coming back to a renovated building in 2021,” the statement read, according to Marketing/Public Affairs Administrator Adria Bergeron.

An MWCD meeting held last Friday also revealed a third bidding process was to go out on Wednesday for the

Tappan Marina renovations. The Murrays posted their notice of not opening this summer on their Facebook page on April 30 and when contacted this week said it would be difficult to open even if the bid failed again.

Back in May of 2019 an estimate for the Tappan Marina renovations came to $6.1 million but no awardable bids were received. Craig Butler, MWCD’s new executive director, headed his first meeting last Friday and provided an overview of the Tappan project before giving way to Chief Engineer Boris Slogar.

Butler said the project was re-bid this past January for a little over $4.6 million but both bids were “over the ten percent engineer estimate” and not awardable with one being $5.9 million.

The latest revised design from the MWCD where they will put the contract out for bid a third time. Bids are to be open on June 24. The restaurant, Latitude 40 announced they would not open this year due to COVID-19 complications and the hopeful construction that could begin in August.

SCIO – The village of Scio felt it was time to open their office and June 1 is the date, which was decided at their Wednesday meeting. Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh informed council that gate barriers would be used to maintain some safe distance from the counter.

“We don’t have a lot of foot traffic and I assume people will still use the drop box,” Tubaugh explained. “I don’t see it being a big issue,” to which Mayor Michelle Carpenter agreed. Council later returned to the subject with Village Solicitor Jack Felgenhauer noting the issue with the COVID-19 “restrictions pretty much lifted.”

Felgenhauer said it was basically a judgment call on resuming the meetings in-person again. It was noted that due to the 10-person limit in gatherings that that could be a problem as it was pointed out that 11 council members plus others were attending the current video conference.

Council Member Andrew Turner raised the possibility of conducting meetings at the fire hall and noted that businesses were allowed more than 10 people at a time. After a pause in gauging responses council decided to seek out the fire hall and secure a date and time.

Opening the meeting was Carpenter’s announcement that Council Member Gordon Kress had resigned his position. Kress was one of two officials elected last November where he even snared more votes (by five) than current Council Member Carol Davy.

Carpenter said there was no reason

Events

given for his resignation and council voted to accept it.

The only discussion to follow was when to advertise for a replacement.

Carpenter stated that she did not want just anyone but someone that would be a good fit for council.

“If anyone’s interested in the seat they can submit a letter of interest…” Carpenter said adding that after reviewing submissions, she wished to set up an interview process and “get a better feel for some of them.” Council decided to place an ad via newspapers by late June in time to discuss the matter before the second meeting in June.

“I’m not in a rush, I don’t want to just pick somebody to pick somebody. I would like to fill it with somebody who is going to be a good fit,” Carpenter explained.

Also discussed was village cleanup day where Carpenter said they were looking at a $598 price tag for a 40yard dumpster from Kimball. She said it would again be placed inside the gate at the wastewater treatment plant.

Carpenter said June 20 is the target date and asked for council’s opinion. One member said it was a “great idea” and Carpenter said a discount was offered if they ordered two dumpsters. Council, though, voted to order one dumpster for cleanup day on June 20. Exact hours for the cleanup were not set as of yet.

“We will get the word out there for that as well and we will be checking ID’s, that there only going to be for village residents,” Carpenter stated adding that the same rules would apply as in years past (no tires or appliances).

Accusations fly at Cadiz council meeting over water plant project

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – A lengthy Cadiz council meeting last Thursday turned explosive when blatant accusations flew from the attorney for Border Patrol (BP) Richard Saxe (of Burns White) over BP being passed over for the Cadiz water plant project. BP of Hopedale was the low bidder for the project involving upgrades in preparation of the Harrison Power Plant.

A lengthy discussion took place at the May 7 meeting where it was determined to go with the second lowest bidder, Kirk Brothers (KB) of Findlay instead of BP the local contractor. The engineering firm hired to review the bidding and present a recommendation did so at that May 7 meeting and CT’s Dan Barr, though, noting solid references of past BP work, cited BP’s “much more limited experience” in water plant projects.

Saxe seemed to place Village

Administrator Ted Andrzejewski in his crosshairs and accused him of being “in somebody’s pocket.”

Then he accused Jim Palumbo of EmberClear of writing “slanderous letters.”

Andrzejewski cut Saxe off and vehemently objected to Saxe’s words pleading with him to stop, repeating himself to which Saxe said he would not stop.

“Costa (Village Solicitor Mastros) will you stop this individual? That’s a bad accusation,” Andrzejewski said. “That is horrible to say I’m on the take. Stop, I will not take this.”

Saxe accused Palumbo of not having any knowledge of BP and called it slander where Palumbo (via the letter) stated BP was not qualified for the project. He went further and stated it was “Tortious interference (interference by a third party) of contractual relations.” Saxe said this week that to a contractor, the difference between water and wastewater projects is “meaningless” and comes down to equipment being installed. But this is contrary to

CT’s review from the May 7 meeting where the operation of a water plant and who is operating it is crucial.

“We want some answers,” Saxe demanded where Mastros finally jumped in and informed his clients, village of Cadiz, to withhold all comments based on Saxe’s mention of a lawsuit. Saxe accused council of being “policed

by Ted (Andrzejewski)” and would not let it go cutting loose with more accusations.

“Never had any issues with any project,” Saxe said of BP’s work in Cadiz. He also felt CT and Kirk Brothers had “some kind of relationship,” though he called it speculation on his part. Saxe said council had been threatened that there wouldn’t be funding from the EPA unless they voted tonight.

Cadiz has a June 1 deadline for reviewing and informing the EPA of their decision and the next meeting isn’t until June 4.

Andrzejewski called Saxe’s accusations, “derogatory, it’s inflammatory, it’s totally untrue and it is very, very damaging to me.”

“He should not have said those things in a public meeting without basis for them.” Andrzejewski said BP’s sole argument is that they’re

From PG | 1

Slogar noted their review of the January bids where they looked at more changes they could possibly make to the design phase. Changes had already been made last year, which knocked the estimate down by around $5 million.

“There are a few changes and tweaks that can be made to the plan but most of the savings that we could potentially employ at this point, come from changes relating to the site development,” Slogar explained meaning the parking lot, storm water retention and shoreline improvements.

“The building itself essentially has been value engineered as far as we can go in working with

local and they should get the contract.

“Never did they say, ‘we can do the job, we have the expertise to do it, you don’t have to worry about us…’, their whole argument was, ‘give it to us because we’re local.’”

He also explained that HP is involved because they are contributing around one-third of the cost and have some voice and oversight on the project.

“As part of this agreement, we will review this work and construction and approve the project as a condition of our releasing the funds,” the letter reads in reference to the $1 million they agreed to pay towards the project.

The letter, to which Saxe referred was addressed to Andrzejewski and dated May 19 and signed by Palumbo and Stephen Goff, vice president of Harrison Power LLC. And it echoed what CT Consultants had said two weeks prior regarding BP and their lack of experience in water treatment plants. HP, in the letter, recommended KB based on CT’s recommendations, as the top two bids were approximately only $10,000 apart.

Saxe asked council what had changed in the past “twenty-four

hours.” He acknowledged the May 16 article and CT’s explanation from the May 7 meeting but offered no comment instead, stating that “council members were five to one,” in favor of BP. But the only vote at the May 7 meeting was for council giving Mastros approval to draw up an emergency resolution (due to deadline) for awarding KB the job. And in that resolution read last Thursday the name “Kirk Brothers” is listed as the contractor of choice, which had to be approved prior to the meeting, though council could have voted for BP. Andrzejewski said the bid went to the most qualified contractor and has extensive experience in water plant projects. He added that he only made his recommendation of KB based on CT’s recommendation, a job in which they were hired to do. He said the village then made their decision based on CT. “When we do this we need to make sure above all, that the contractor takes care of supplying water to the village residents, period. That’s it,” Andrzejewski explained. “This process was very thorough.” The upgrades for the plant is needed to produce one million gallons of water per day

and also take care of harmful algae bloom EPA violations.

“It was not Ted’s recommendation, it was not the village’s recommendation although we agreed with it, it came from the people we hired to choose us the best contractor to do the job. It had nothing to do with what this guy (Saxe) said.” “…They had by far, not even close, the most experience in working in upgrading, and redesigning and taking care of a water plant,” Andrzejewski said of KB. The letter also alluded to HP paying for the difference in the bids.

“Additionally, Harrison Power would strongly consider covering the insignificant difference, at the time of funding, in the two bids to ensure that the Village of Cadiz is able to make the best decision for its constituents.” Saxe said they didn’t know what their next move would be from here.

“We don’t know, we’re just exploring our options at this point,” Saxe said about continuing the fight. Messages left for Mastros and CT were not returned and several council members did not respond or would not go on record.

our architect on this and our internal team,” Slogar told the board. “We believe that we have cut this as far as we can while still maintaining the overall spirit and intent of the project.”

Some of the changes they made prior to the last bidding were to the A-frame and some minor changes to the inside design.

But the biggest change was to divide the project into three phases as Slogar noted at the time, all of it being under one phase was a major factor in it being over bid.

And apparently this still wasn’t enough. Slogar said the project is going out to bid for a third time (May 27) with a bid opening on June 24. He said if this bidding was not successful then the project would have to be shelved “for the time being.”

“Currently given the situation

with the shutdown and the restaurant at the marina, we have a window of opportunity to try to get this project done,” Slogar stated. He said the team was putting together some “slight” modifications to the plan but will now have to wait till the end of June for the bid outcome.

Board Member Joanne Limbach raised the possibility of a special board meeting to award the Tappan bid as the Board does not traditionally meet in June. But Slogar said, through previous authorization from the Board an awarding of the bid without holding a special meeting is possible. When asked about more cutbacks to the project he noted kitchen equipment for $300,000 and removed that from the bid.

“We’re looking at some

alternatives from a site development side in order again, basically make it as practical as possible understanding that the building is very important to the project and we can make do with a little bit less on the site,” Slogar explained.

In an email response this week, Slogar said they could not accept a bid even if it were 10 percent beyond the estimate again and regarding time limit, if the bid fails a third time “the soonest we could consider the project would be one year from now.”

In the press release it was noted work has been ongoing to the boat storage area and the seawall project “was finished this past winter,” along with a new and expanded fuel dock. Work has also begun on a new wastewater treatment system.

Zoning issue for restaurateur resurfaces at Cadiz meeting

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Harrison County Prosecutor and attorney for Tim and Gena Hill spoke at last Thursday’s council meeting to readdress the zoning issue where the Hills are seeking permanent permission to operate a take-out food business from their home that sits across from the Clark Gable Museum.

Beetham opened with a reminder to council four suggestions he sent in since the last meeting where the issue was addressed more than a month ago. Those four include: Conditional use permit, amend the R-1 conditional use, amend the supplementary regulation to include an additional home occupation, or re-zone the property to a C-1 zone, “consistent with surrounding parcels and provide narrowly tailored

limitations.”

Beetham stated that Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros reviewed those items and was told that a conditional use permit was not possible but didn’t agree.

“I wasn’t sure about that, I know that previously the Lincoln Inn Bed & Breakfast had been granted a variance in that nature so I thought perhaps we could continue in the same fashion of past precedent,” Beetham stated.

He added that he was renewing his client’s request and asked council which direction they would like to take this in a gesture to work things out. Beetham noted that the Hill’s neighbors are in favor of their business including the Clark Gable Foundation.

Beetham also touched on some issues he said the Department of Commerce (DOC) may have but after some correspondence, was told the matter is closed and there

is no issue.

Mastros answered by presenting options for council if they chose to work with the Hills. He said two legislative ways were in play with one being to amend the R-1 conditional use, which would include take-out service. The second avenue would also be to amend the “supplementary regulation to include an additional home occupation.”

Mastros said the third way would be to actually re-zone the property (to C-1) “and provide a narrowly tailored limitation.” He said this would work in steps by first recommending it to the planning commission, which would then make their recommendation to village council.

“Council then would have the ultimate decision as to whether or not to re-zone that particular parcel as C-1,” Mastros explained.

He also acknowledged the DOC’s

Hospital workers receive free lunch from Congressman Johnson

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The medical staff at the Harrison Community Hospital felt a little love last week as they received a free lunch from Congressman Bill Johnson-R (6th District) for their efforts. Around noon last Friday workers began trickling in and picking up a box lunch that was prepared by the Farm Restaurant and Pub out of Mt. Pleasant.

Administrative Secretary Beverly Lengyel and Social Worker for HCH, Pam Parrish were very appreciative for the congressman thinking of them.

“We thank him for thinking about us,” Lengyel said.

In a prepared statement Johnson gushed over medical staffs confronting the virus and expressed his gratitude from them being there.

“Words cannot express the gratitude and admiration I feel for each and every one of you.

The work you are doing on the front lines of this fight against the deadly COVID-19 virus is nothing less than heroic. People all over our communities are frightened, they are concerned that they or their family members are going to contract the virus,” Johnson said.

He goes on to say that one of

things that come out of the staff being there is the comfort in knowing they are on the job while putting their own health at risk.

“There are no words or deeds that can thank you enough, but just know that we all see what you are doing, what you are sacrificing to help your fellow citizens.

So, I hope this small token of a meal will, in some part, demonstrate our appreciation of

all you are doing.

“And, my prayer is that God will honor your sacrifices and hard work by giving you the strength to face the difficult days ahead, and that he will keep you and your families safe and healthy. On behalf of all the people of Ohio’s Sixth Congressional District…I hope you enjoy this meal. It comes from our hearts directly to yours.”

Harrison County sees no new COVID-19 cases reported

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – For the first time in over a month no new coronavirus cases have been reported in Harrison County, where Health Administrator Garen Rhome announced at Wednesday’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting. “…In Harrison County in the first time in a while I can say no new cases in a week,” Rhome told the board. In one week the COVID-19 report went from the extreme (last week), three cases in one week to none reported. Rhome said seven patients have recovered with only one being hospitalized. He said by the end of the week he expected more reported being recovered.

He said many things are getting back to normal when starting to talk about R-naught (or R0) numbers with the usual social distancing rules remaining in place. The R-naught numbers are the “transmitability from one person to the next.” He reminded the board that in prior meetings he talked of one person infecting around 2.5 people but the number in Ohio is holding at just one.

“So one person infects one

person,” he explained. “And if that continues around one we’ll never come down, we’ll never go back up either.” Rhome provided a further explanation via email later in the week that if “R-naught is greater than 1, each sick person is infecting more than one person, on average, so the outbreak will grow.” But if the R0 number is below 1 then the outbreak will diminish.

“To get it down to zero we need to see that R-naught number below one and that’s I think, really what you’ll see people across the country and the state of Ohio leaning on as to the opening back up and opening these different sectors,” Rhome explained.

He said many factors go into the R-naught number, which one is how the disease spreads noting the respiratory angle.

Another way he mentioned was in how quickly the disease will spread, which he said was around every four days. The other way he called was the nonscientific factor and that is

human behavior.

“And that just goes back to social distancing, being smart, being safe and really protecting the most vulnerable populations…” Rhome said noting less visits with the older population in the family for example will help.

Rhome’s report was also shorter than has been the past four weeks, though he wasn’t implying the crisis is over. He did note that the state of Ohio is holding steady barely over 33,000 cases reported and just over 2,000 deaths, which amounts to a gaudy 6 percent death ratio.

“Over the twenty-one days [it] looks like we could possibly be trending in the right direction with new cases or new hospitalizations every day,” Rhome stated. “The Ohio Department of Health is still calling it, we’re on that plateau of days where we’re not going up but we’re not quite really going down. That’s the long term trend you can look at.”

remarks of no issues “due to the fact that the use of the building no longer includes employees or customers as entering the residence.”

Mastros said in all three instances he could draw up a draft of an ordinance for council to discuss before deciding the issue.

Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski said the issue was initially brought to him as in, “why was a take-out business operating in a residential area?” He said referring to the current R-1 zone the Hill’s home sits in.

“I think you’re getting into an area here where you’re going to be setting a very dangerous precedent for the future,” Andrzejewski said.

“And this is normally referred to as spot zoning.” He called the situation “not good” and R-1 zones are for protecting residential neighborhoods. He said he was concerned that some future

business would want to open up something in the same neighborhood.

“I’m also very concerned about the owners of that business,” Andrzejewski said of the Hills. He accused them of disregarding the DOC’s rule of only permitting a catering business, by changing to take-out. He also raised concerns over a hypothetical situation where the Hills might want to change their business from take-out to a “full fledged restaurant.”

“And how you going to stop them?” Andrzejewski asked council to consider what the impact would be for the future if they granted the Hill’s request. Beetham responded by appreciating his concerns but stressed that the ordinance could be written where a take-out service could be described as “only” that at the same time “protecting the integrity of the neighborhood.”

But Andrzejewski came back with

the DOC’s statement regarding catering and that the Hills ignored that.

“Nowhere in the wording from the state did it say you could have a take-out restaurant,” he told Beetham. Andrzejewski again stressed his concern of the Hills changing their restaurant to possibly sit-down if the take-out business doesn’t work.

Mastros said it is possible to change the Hill’s neighborhood to spot zoning because it has been done before and gave Mattern Tire the example as it was done for them. He said they could put in the language that a sit-down restaurant would be forbidden and make it carry-out only.

Council voted unanimously to give Mastros permission to form a draft for them to review.

Sudden heat causes section of Ohio 151 to buckle

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – Even though the heat in the area hasn’t been around for long it’s the sudden string of hot days after so much cooler temperatures that has caused the buckling of a section of Ohio 151 just outside of the village of Jewett.

District 11 Transportation Administrator for ODOT JD Marlatt after explaining the situation said the problem began Tuesday and the heat did not dissipate overnight causing the expansion of the concrete vertically. He called it the excessiveness of the temperature range in such a fairly quick fashion that caused the problem.

“Concrete reacts differently to different elements,” Marlatt explained stating that it just happened to weaken at that

joint, which occurred approximately one-half mile west of the Ohio 9 and 151 intersection.

ODOT released a statement on their Facebook page informing residents that traffic lights have been

installed on each side of the damage to allow traffic to flow through one lane temporarily.

Marlatt said the plan is to lay a new 12x14 section of road at 11 a.m. on Friday weather permitting.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy I think most people in our area celebrated Memorial Day according to the pandemic guidelines. I had to drive to Steubenville for needed medication and noticed some family picnics but not large crowds and State Highway 7 was fairly empty of traffic. I feel bad about graduates who are not having the fun and hoopla that go with a party. They are feted with a car and vehicle drive-by in some areas and have televised senior pictures on some television stations.

Ashlee Malechowski and Sam Sabo are two graduates I am familiar with. Both have done really well in studies at Buckeye Local High School and I wish them success in their chosen occupations.

I congratulate the Cadiz Boy Scout Troop 269 for raising and lowering the American flag to fly half-mast on Memorial Day. They

are very observant of the military holidays. The Cadiz American Legion Post 34 stayed with the COVID-19 rules and performed the in the new modified services.

The 21-gun salute is really touching. I miss Wally Jancura Jr. playing Taps for our services but Rick Pastre and a few friends went to the Friendship Park Military Museum and played TAPS in memory of his father, Emelio Pastre, who died in early February.

Flags were put on over 100 military graves at Northern Cemetery in Smithfield. They have veterans from the Civil War and through Vietnam buried there.

The Jefferson County Veterans Association and Piney Fork Post 735 members put flags in the bronze memorial markers on the graves. They were helped with youth volunteers and Carolyn Piergallini, Jodi Miller, Jackie Lude, Mia Nolan and George Paidousis, who overlooked the operation. It was reassuring to see Jackie Lude with a cloth wiping the grass collection off all graves.

The dried matter looks so bad on the cemetery stones.

Smithfield Township is really working hard to make what was once just Smithfield a better place.

And thanks to Ron Saxon, Paul Greene and John Sadar for doing the grass cutting sothe cemetery looked good for Memorial Day. The township made an arrangement with a construction company to remove the Main Street asphalt and bricks that was once the pavement of Main Street.

From as far back as my youth remembers, I recall a brick-lined Main Street. If we were coming home late from a late shopping spree or visiting relatives and were lying down on the back seat, the McHugh kids knew that we were nearly home when the car hit that road. It had a certain ringing sound when driving upon it. Last week, in driving through a oneway stop at the construction area, I wound down my car window and asked a very nice construction worker if I could have a brick for remembrance. He said “Sure” and handed it to me just as if this was a normal everyday request. The township has put up nice signs on the former village building and streets too. Thank you.

Well now that the holiday is over and some of the restrictions have been lifted maybe we can put away all the books and magazines that have been reading and get started on a new way of life. I still have a problem with my glasses steaming up if I go into an air-conditioned store with my mask on and have trouble with talking through the mask. Maybe I can learn to understand muttering soon.

By Ina Marks Word was received that Algis, “CC”, Fedor, Scio High School Alumnus from the class of 1957, passed away May 24, 2020, at his Albuquerque New Mexico home.

He was a Psychology Professor at the University of New Mexico, and also had a private practice for several years. He came to Scio with his mother and sister who were caught up in displacement during the Second World War in Europe.

After Al’s father was killed, and during their displacement, his mother had received a donation coat from the Salvation Army, and in the pocket was the name of Loretta Duswalt, a Scio resident, who had donated it. Through the Red Cross Al’s mother contacted Mrs. Duswalt in hopes that she would sponsor her family to come to America. She did! They settled in Scio, and Al enrolled in the fourth grade in Scio Elementary, and his sister enrolled in the sixth grade where they learned to speak English and become involved with school activities. Their mother became a Scio Pottery worker, where Lew Reese offered her a job, knowing of her circumstance.

After graduating from Scio High School, Al attended the Ohio State University and obtained a Ph. D. degree in psychology. After his sister and brother-in-law perished in an auto accident, their son became part of Al’s family. When securing the professorship at the University of New Mexico, Al, much to his surprise and delight, met a former Scio resident, Barbara Spiker Winslow, whose husband was also a fellow psychologist. The Scio community, his schoolmates, and teachers became Al’s family, and whenever he returned to Scio for summer vacations and for the Scio High School reunions, he made the

rounds to visit his friends and his adopted hometown of Scio.

I hope everyone had a great and safe Memorial Day with family and friends.

Special thanks to the helpers who placed the crosses in the Veterans Park as you go down the hill into Jewett, it warms folks hearts to see such a beautiful sight.

Congratulations go out to all the 2020 graduates. I wish them a great life in whatever they do. Bless you.

I enjoyed the picture of the college on College Street in Scio, as my home is on College Street.

Congratulations go out to Larry Green of Rayland for his 80th Birthday, Bless you, and thanks to all of the folks that surprised you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrating, also Anniversary’s.

Prayers and best wishes to all ill, shut-in, also remember their caregivers.

Sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Carol Benyi, Alice Morgan and all others that have lost loved ones. Bless you.

Did you know? New York was the first state to require license plates.

Have a Blessed Week.

Courthouse looks to reopen June 1, public encouraged to contact offices for in-person protocols

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The Harrison County Commissioners did not have the item on their agenda but the reopening of the county courthouse seems closer to happening. June 1 seems to be the day many agencies are aiming for and if all goes well residents will be allowed to enter the courthouse to pay bills if they choose.

But the reopening comes with a caveat in that each agency within the courthouse is separate from each other and the commissioner’s office encourages the public to please call

first and see what the protocol for that individual agency is.

“Effective June 1, 2020 the courthouse will be reopening to the public. We are asking that everyone entering the building to wear a mask.

It will be up to your office whether or not you will be allowing the public to have direct access to your office or if you want them to continue to make an appointment.

Please inform the Deputies on what your procedures will be,” per a memo from the commissioner’s office.

If you have any questions, please contact the respective office: Auditor (740-942-8860); Clerk of Courts

(740-942-8863); Commissioners(740- 942-4623; Common Pleas Court (740-9428500); Adult Probation (740-942-8510); County Court (740-942-8865); Engineer (740942-8867); Juvenile/Probate (740-942-2088); Juvenile/Magistrate (740-9421336); Probate Court (740-942-8868); Recorder(740942-8869); Treasurer (740-942-8864); Veterans (740942-8441); Prosecutor’s office (740-942-2621); Sheriff’s office (740-942-2197); License Bureau (740-942-8200).

Also, the commissioners approved

a deed of permanent easement in Cadiz as well as a resolution (11-20) for awarding a pavement marking contract. Commissioner Paul Coffland read the document stating that the county engineer’s office has received funding from ODOT. The project consists of 148.94 miles of “centerline striping on various County Roads throughout Harrison County.” Two bids were received on May 20 from Aero-Mark and Oglesby Construction with Aero-Mark being the low bidder at $195,233. The bids were close with the winning bid being only $917 less than Oglesby.

The deed of easement addressed

prior read in part that the grantor, the village of Cadiz, gives the grantee “a perpetual easement…to erect, construct, install and lay and thereafter use, operate, inspect, repair, maintain, replace and remove, a sewer collection line and any necessary appurtenances…as part of its sewer collection system, including rights ingress and egress to and from said sewer line…”

Another resolution (17-20) was read described as a “commercial card resolution” dealing with Harrison County Jobs & Family Services (HCJFS). Coffland stated the commissioners were “co-appointing authority” for the HCJFS and to

govern usage and oversight control.

The commissioners approved the card use for purchases of goods and general services where the funds have been appropriated into their annual budget, as read by Coffland.

“Usage and oversight controls, Harrison County Department of Jobs and Family Services has adopted formal policies and procedures regarding card usage and oversight including but not limited to the following considerations: A list of authorized employees, custody and storage of cards, pre-approval of card usage and reconciliation of usage against purchase orders,” the resolution reads.

Good News

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

You Are Clean As the summer heat rolls in, I remember back to the summers when I was a little guy and my parents had only one goal in life, for me to go clean up. If you’ve ever wondered how we can stand clean before God, I have some good news for you. As hard as it might be to believe, Jesus calls his followers clean. I know what you’re thinking, “Who me?” Well, in John 15:3 Jesus says of his disciples “You are clean through the word I have spoken to you”. Clean… whether you feel like it or not.

If you are a disciple of Jesus, repented and accepted Him as

Lord then you are clean but not by any good works you have done. Jesus’ exact language was “clean THROUGH the word I have spoken”. We can’t make ourselves clean. It’s God’s Word; the Bible, the scriptures that make us clean. Now, I liked the Doobie Brothers hit song from the 70’s “Jesus is Just Alright” as much as the next guy, but Jesus is more than just alright, He is the Word of God and He, The Word, is who makes His followers clean. This is why it is so problematic when those in and out of the church say, “I guess Jesus is ok, but I don’t

believe the Bible is divinely inspired.” Jesus and the Bible are inseparable! That’s why the first chapter of John’s gospel declares that “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God…and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory.” We live in a day and age where the Bible is disparaged as out of date, inaccurate, out of touch and can’t be trusted. The sad irony is that it is that very Word that makes us clean. And here’s a fun fact; the original Greek word that Jesus uses for clean is “katharos”. It’s where we get our word “catheterization”. It’s also

the same word He used in the Sermon on the Mount when He said “Blessed are the pure (clean) in heart”. As believers, we need to let the authority of God’s Word perform a “Holy RotoRooter” (catheterization) on our hearts and minds and honor the scriptures as the only remedy for standing clean before Him. So, how do we get clean? By showering with The Word, reading The Word, believing The Word, and obeying The Word.

Let’s remember what Jesus’ said, “You are clean through the word I have spoken to you”. pastorkenstaley@gmail.com

“It is sponsored by the Harrison County Commissioners and when you guys see Mr. (Paul) Coffland please thank him,” Tubaugh said calling him a “true force” in seeing this pushed through.

He also thanked Treasurer Heidi Trice and Income Tax Administrator Janeen Scott for their work on the LOI. Tubaugh did remind council of two required public meetings still needed, which were listed as June 8 and 15 at 4 p.m. at the Spiker Firehouse.

Carol Ann Benyi Carol Ann Benyi entered into rest on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, at the home of her “sister” in Lisbon Ohio, after an arduous battle with brain cancer. Carol was born on Dec. 4, 1945 in Lima Ohio, the eldest child of Robert Allen and Margaret Ann (Dean) Meffley, both deceased.

Carol married Roger Palmer in 1965; together they have one daughter Wendy. Carol married Andy Benyi in Athens Ohio in 1979 and was widowed in 2000.

Carol became one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and was baptized in 1974 in Tecumseh Michigan.

She became fluent in Mandarin Chinese during her 5 years of teaching English in China. She later remained active as a Bible teacher in Akron, Youngstown and Athens Ohio Chinese communities.

Carol leaves behind her daughter, Wendy (Palme)Majewski and Wendy’s

husband Brian; grandsons, Ryan (Katina) Rager of Palm Bay Florida; Dillon (Brandi) Rager of Scio Ohio; and Dakota Rager of Cary North Carolina; three great-granddaughters, Lexus, Padem and Kynsleigh. She is also survived by her sister and husband, Jill and Ward Johnson of Simpsonville South Carolina and their four children, Tobin, Lukas, Robyn and Heather; by her brother Mike Meffley of Columbus Ohio, his 3 children, Amanda, Kyle and Michelle and his granddaughter, Sadie.

Carol has been a special friend, like a sister, to Elaine Rankin Nemenz Harris since the 1970’s.

Elaine’s mother, Phyllis Rankin Donoghue became a spiritual mother to Carol in Cadiz Ohio, so that Elaine, Carol, and Elaine’s sister, Mary Louise Rankin Foster, all jokingly spoke of each other as “step-sisters.”

Carol lived with Elaine and her husband, Dave Harris in recent years and spent her final weeks at the home of Mary Louise and Allan Foster, all in Lisbon Ohio.

In 2019 Carol had been able to spend the year near dear friends in Athens Ohio.

A memorial of her life will be held as an international videoconference on Saturday, June 6 at 6 p.m., hosted by the Athens Ohio South Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses with Rick Castrop presiding. Please contact Elaine Harris at 585-755-4173 if you wish to link into the memorial.

Conotton Valley BoE talks financial forecast

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY NH Contributor

LEESVILLE - At the May meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, Treasurer Denise Ketchum reviewed the five-year forecast with the Board.

Ketchem explained that the general property tax decrease is due to the two levies ending and that she had prepared for “worst case scenarios” regarding projected funding decreases due to the current Covid-19 situation and Rover Pipeline tax appeal. The district is overall financially sound.

Ketchum reported that she had built into the budget a 2 percent increases in operating expenses and provided for operation expenses for the Rocket Center. She said that she is currently researching alternatives for a health care provider for the district as Aultcare is projected an 8 percent increase in premiums.

Superintendent Todd Herman reported that online instruction for students wraps up on Friday, May 22, and that arrangements will be made for students to drop off school property and pick up their personal items in the near

future.

Herman said that because plans for the 2020-21 school year are currently unclear, Conotton plans to focus on improving online instruction to be prepared for any circumstances.

Edison Local talks forecast, contracts Scio High School Alumni awards scholarships RICHMOND-Like other districts, Edison Local Schools is feeling the pinch due to state cuts in educational funding.

Leaders are now taking steps to make sure operations proceed as they submit their five-year forecast.

School board members approved the forecast during the May 21 regular session at Edison High School and District Treasurer Lisa Bruzzese will submit it to the state.

Numbers will be adjusted to suit state models when those figures become available, but for now officials said they are wading into the unknown. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recently announced a $775 million reduction in K-12 education funds in light of the coronavirus pandemic and related shutdown, but Edison is among local school districts also being impacted by Rover Pipeline’s appeal to the Ohio Department of Taxation reduce property taxes overall by 50 percent.

“Our five-year forecast is kind of tricky,” said Superintendent Bill Beattie. “There are a lot of unknowns. Rover Pipeline is seeking a reduction and we could lose $384,000 in unpaid taxes, which we won’t see until the outcome of the decision.”

Until then, officials will monitor expenditures and adjust numbers accordingly.

“As of now, we’re still okay but we have to be very cautious with what we’re doing,” he added. “Lisa has adjusted the forecast and it has allowed for changes. Our hope is when the decision comes out it is in favor of the districts, which means we can add that additional $384,000 back in.”

The board also approved contract renewals for administrators including District Technology Coordinator Rachael Granatir, District Assistant District Tech Coordinator Tyler Roush, District Administrative Assistant Fatima Smuck and EHS Principal Matt Morrison for five years and Stanton Elementary Principal Shannah Scotch for two years.

Beattie said no raises were given and salaries are based on a salary schedule in line with the teacher’s union. Faculty contracts were also extended for Kelly Dopp, continuing; Carla Filbert, Summer Householder, Kerianne Habbit and Jessica McCallister, five years; Stephanie Thornley, Jordan Tice, Sarah Mullings, Mycaela Ensell, Jeremy Matics, Caitlin Schultz and David Schultz, three years; Amy Bordash, Megan Evans, Derek Gulling and Natasha McConnell, two years; and Nolan Marcus, Taylor Wickham, Tiffany Moses and Sara McGee, one year.

Meanwhile, the board discussed ongoing updates at local school buildings. Beattie said work on the EHS turf project would begin on May 26 and officials were awaiting bids for bulk excavation on the master facilities project. The new turf will be placed on the multipurpose athletic field to host football, soccer and track activities and is one part of a multi-faceted plan to add baseball and softball fields, a new 1,500-seat gymnasium, press box and more grandstand seating to unify sports at the high school campus. He noted that a pre-bid meeting was held that Thursday for improvements at John Gregg and Stanton and work will hopefully

begin on June 8. That project entails adding new windows plus heating and cooling systems.

Among other action, officials: --Approved the resignation of EHS computer teacher Sherry Dugan and teacher Morgan Starr, both effective at the end of the 2019-20 school year; --Approved supplemental extended hours for guidance counselors Samanda Pepperling and Sara McGee at 80 hours each; --Agreed to employ Jeremy Matics to the summer paint crew and Marissa Matics as a summer technology assistant on an asneeded basis; --Approved 79 graduation candidates from EHS. Exercises were recorded on Monday and will be shown on WTOVTV next Thursday; --Approved a $3,000 donation from the Charles M. and Thelma M. Pugliese Charitable Foundation for scholarships to three graduating seniors and a $450 anonymous donation to defray senior fees; --Returned an $11,000 advance from the athletics fund to the general fund which was given to pay game officials through the Arbiter system; --Learned about distance learning and end-of-year items from Assistant Superintendent Julie Kireta while Administrative Assistant Fatima Smuck said 2,000 breakfast and lunch meals have been provided each week to district students; --Set the next meeting for June 25 at 6 p.m. at EHS.

Indian Creek forecasts funding scenarios MINGO JUNCTION-Indian Creek is eyeing three potential funding scenarios in the wake of deep cuts in state funding as the school board approves its fiveyear forecast.

Officials approved the forecast during the regular meeting May 21 at Indian Creek Middle School after District Treasurer Denise Todoroff presented possible options on the horizon.

The scenarios come as Gov. Mike DeWine announced a $775 million reduction in K-12 education funding, which Todoroff said comprised at least 4.8 percent of the district’s state funding.

“We have to submit an updated forecast,” Todoroff said.

“It’s currently unknown what the funding is going to be next year and beyond.

[Superintendent Dr. T.C. Chappelear] and I have talked about different plans and scenarios and we will update them.”

She said treasurers across Ohio have been meeting to discuss numbers and many are providing a three-model scenario to the state because they are unsure of what the figures will be. Todoroff said the state’s rainy day fund equates to $2.7 billion but Ohio’s deficit could possibly double that amount.”

“K-12 funding is 42 percent of the budget and that is why schools took a huge hit,” she added. Indian Creek had a reduction of 4.8 percent of the foundation funding, which is a $446,000 loss. We won’t be receiving a check from the state; we’ll be paying the state some money.”

The district’s three scenarios depict losses of 4.8 percent, about 9 percent and 15 percent and incorporates resuming normal operations at current staff levels. However, they do not include about $470,000 in federal CARES Act funding or the potential expansion of

EdChoice vouchers to parochial and private schools that public school districts are fighting.

“If [EdChoice vouchers] are approved, that will drastically affect funding and it is unknown what will happen to the Student Success and Wellness funds. As of now, they will be gone in 2022. We also have to consider reduced tax collections and expect a decrease in oil and gas funds,” she said. “[Oil and gas funds] increased now and will help carry us through this year and next year.”

She said officials will have some choices to make in the foreseeable future.

“If it’s cut by 4.8 percent we should be okay, but we need to make decisions starting for Fiscal Year 2022. There is so much unknown at this time and I’m concerned about the cash flow in January and February [with low property tax collections].”

She added that the second scenario would double the reduction amount to more than $900,000 while the third option—which is the worst-case scenario—would put the total at over $1.3 million. To that end, she and Dr. Chappelear would have to look at other reductions to lessen the blow.

“Everyday information is changing and we simply have to adapt to it,” she said.

Dr. Chappelear said close attention will be paid to expenditures in the meantime to ease the strain on the district’s coffers.

“We’re going back to the old Indian Creek way of really only purchasing necessities and keeping travel costs down. We’re not expanding or doing any hiring but we don’t have any Reduction in Force plans at this time that we need to enact.”

He added that Ohio Equity and Equality is taking steps to challenge the constitutionality of the EdChoice system and the district is interested in

participating.

“Ohio Equity and Adequacy got law firms involved and we put our name in the hat as interested in being involved with that. It is still in the exploratory stage, but there is a lot going on to fight the EdChoice vouchers.”

Meanwhile, leaders praised faculty, staff, administrators, students and their families for capping off an arduous year in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Following a successful senior procession to highlight the Class of 2020 on May 9, plans are in the works to film the Indian High School’s virtual graduation. Officials said it has been a moving experience for school and community members alike and it also reinforces the strength of the people as they work together to get through this unprecedented time.

Karen Lloyd, president of the Indian Creek Education Association, said the procession sparked a lot of joy amid the bleakness.

“The parade was better than I imagined and we and the high school got to say goodbye to the seniors,” she said. “It took me back to high school and when a community comes together. This is Indian Creek and people are seeing it.”

Board member Kim Mark said the procession was needed so the kids could have closure, while Dr. Chappelear said the past few months have been a testament to working together.

“I think it is definitely true that you learn a lot about people and adversity. Our people really stepped up on a lot of fronts with online learning and supporting students at the procession.”

He noted that a learning cadre will be held to prepare for next year while a summer academy is eyed for all grades from July to the start of the new school term to help students prepare for more studies.

CADIZ – More video conferences took place in the Harrison County Common Pleas courtroom Tuesday with one standing out as one of the more serious cases. Charles Moreland, facing three charges with two of them being aggravated trafficking in drugs, a felony of the fourth degree and aggravated possession of drugs, a felony of the third degree, requested he be assigned new counsel.

Moreland is currently being held in the Jefferson County Justice Center. Judge T. Shawn Hervey informed the court that an offer by the state had been turned down by Moreland then noted his request for new counsel, which Moreland confirmed.

Moreland, who is currently being represented by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola had asked for discovery items and

later, Moreland said he had not received everything requested.

When asked if the relationship between he and his client had gone beyond repair, Pincola said it had not.

“No your honor, we have no reason to believe it has not…” he told Hervey. When Moreland asked for his reasons to change counsel he told the court he hadn’t been able to speak to Pincola on how to approach his case and other strategy issues.

He said he’s only seen him one time in Cadiz through a glass window.

“I need counsel that I can talk to and get my strategy ready… for my case. I have a right to a fair trial, I’m not going to get a fair trial with Mr. Pincola,” Moreland explained. Hervey returned the explanation by stating that no one is getting a trial prior to July 30 “Because right now the state of Ohio has given us guidelines where we can’t bring jurors into a courtroom, pick a jury and have a trial,” he told Moreland.

He added that the jail, here in Cadiz, wouldn’t take him back even if Hervey wanted to bring him here.

“So it’s pretty hard to think about a trial right now,” he continued. “There’s plenty of time to have those conversations…” He said he hasn’t made up his mind regarding Moreland’s request but would take his reasons under advisement.

Hervey then explained the possible penalties, which include six to 18 months in jail for the first offense and up to eight years for the second charge.

Another charge is having weapons under disability, which is a third degree felony and a possible 36-month sentence.

Hervey reminded him he was looking at a possible total of more than 12 years if convicted.

Hervey also noted that the state’s offer was good for only this day (Tuesday) and would be withdrawn if not accepted.

Moreland told the court he wished to have two trials, and

included that he hadn’t received all his discovery items. When asked he said test results and “audio and video” as items he hadn’t received.

Hervey told him it wasn’t possible to bring him out of Jefferson County jail in order to look at any tapes for the moment.

Pincola did acknowledge that tests results did show methamphetamines of around 13 grams in Moreland’s possession. When Moreland said it was “fake,” Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese was seen laughing at Moreland’s answer.

“Okay Listen, when you go to someone to get your chemistry degree you can tell me what it is or what it isn’t,” Hervey told Moreland adding that if he wished he could contest that in a trial.

“But you can’t say that you didn’t get the information because I just put it on the record, okay?”

Hervey explained to which Moreland said “no problem”

Charles Moreland, facing three charges involving drugs and a possible 12-plus years in prison turned down the state’s offer of resolution Tuesday. The proceeding was held via video conference as has been done for the past two weeks. Moreland requested new counsel in the face of test results coming back positive for methamphetamines.

then repeated his request for new counsel. Hervey said again he would take it under

advisement but wasn’t sure Moreland had just cause for appointing a new attorney.

Contingent upon good weather, the distribution of rabies vaccine-laden baits by aircraft and helicopter should be completed by June 9, 2020.

The vaccine does not contain live rabies virus, and the baits come in a blister pack, covered in a waxy green coating containing vegetable fats and wax and a sugar vanilla attractant. This vaccine has been successfully used in Canada since 2006 and experimentally in the U.S. since 2011 with no reports of adverse incidents in humans.

“We want the community to be aware that they or their pets may find some of these oral rabies vaccine baits on the ground,” explained Caroline Terakedis, Director of the Bureau of Environmental Health & Preparedness for the Tuscarawas County Health Department. “Although the chances for adverse reactions to the bait are remote, we want the community to be familiar with

what the baits look like in the event of accidental vaccine exposure.”

“There is no risk of exposure when handling intact bait, but, in rare cases, residents might come into contact with the liquid inside the bait,” noted Terakedis. “If you do come into contact with the bait, thoroughly wash your hands or other exposed skin with soap and water.”

Exposure may result in fever, sore throat, headache, or conjunctivitis. Pets consuming numerous baits may experience vomiting or diarrhea that is selflimiting. Signs and symptoms may appear up to 21 days following contact with a rabies vaccine bait. All adverse reactions should be reported to the Ohio Department of Health at 1-888-574-6656 or 614-7521387.

Below are some additional recommendations regarding the ORV baits: - Do not attempt to remove an

ORV bait from an animal’s mouth, as you could be bitten.

Ingesting vaccine will not harm your pet. Vomiting and diarrhea have occurred in dogs that have ingested multiple baits.

- Confine your pet and look for other baits in the area. Baits can be removed (wear gloves or use a paper towel when you pick up bait to protect your hands if you have any small cuts) from the area where your pet could find them and eat them.

- Those who have skin, mucous membrane or eye contact with the vaccine, as well as those who have exposed breaks in skin, are pregnant, or are immunocompromised should seek medical attention if they experience rash, fever, sore throat, headache, conjunctivitis, vomiting, or diarrhea within 21 days of bait exposure.

For more information, contact the Tuscarawas County Health Department at 330-343-5555, ext. 118.
