Honoring those who gave all

ODNR announces project leading to new campsites at Sally Buffalo Park

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – ursday morning saw the rare event of two celebrated projects back to back. First, a group of state, county and local officials gathered just beyond Mazeroski Field for the introduction of development of an area that will lead to an additional 46 new campsites at Sally Buffalo Park.

Chief of Division of Mineral Resources Management Lanny Erdos began the introductions of Director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Jim Zehringer, Mayor of Cadi, Ken Zitko, Harrison County commissioners and other officials, numerous ODNR officials and State Representative for District 96 Jack Cera (D) were all on hand to give their comments and thanks. e project involves a high wall remediation to stabilize a section of the park that slopes down into a lower area.

Erdos said it is part of a pilot program that deals with abandoned mine lands, which he said is part of a federally funded $10 million program.

Erdos stated that Ohio had received the

money through the Office of Surface Mining and Marietta Coal Company, which earned the successful bid to do the project. After a brief history of Sally Buffalo Park he stated that nearly $1 million will go into reclaiming the highwall.

Zehringer then spoke of how these types of projects are really “economic development drivers.” He noted not only the 40-plus campsites that will be added in the future but construction jobs that will also benefit.

“So, these are great economic drivers for the area and [I] can’t wait to see this, and what a nice park,” Zehringer described while noting the tour he was taken on prior to speaking.

Mineral Resources Management, Jim Bishop then spoke briefly describing the exact parameters of the project stating “2,200 feet of high wall to be backfilled and to drain five million gallons of water out of the high wall pit. An additional 260,000 cubic feet of dirt will also be placed back against the pit “and it will be reclaimed back to the three to one slope and be a viable camping area and recreational area.”

Jobs & Family Services receive $10,000

By JD LONG

CADIZ – Director of the Harrison County Department of Jobs & Family Services (HCDJFS), Scott Blackburn announced at the Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting Wednesday that they had received an additional $10,000 in regards to a contract revision from back in May of last year. e agreement has been with the HCDJFS and the Jefferson County Community Action Council, Inc. “is contract is a result of the PY 15 request for proposal issued by Workforce Investment Area 16,” as stated in the letter of revision. Blackburn called it a complicated process but said they are on the “receiving end” from the state after a check down from the state, which

revealed the HCDJFS qualification after Carroll County had extra money in their program and agreed to donate the $10,000 to Harrison County.

He said the money is from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and the Comprehensive Case Management and Employment Program (CCMEP), which is a “Title IV-A and workforce development activity that provides employment, training services and, other supportive services to mandatory and voluntary participants…” e letter of revision goes on to explain that the participants are based on their employment and training needs after a comprehensive assessment. CCMEP targets youths between the ages of 16 and 24 while integrating the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

and the WIOA youth programs.

“So they have been so successful that they have projected to spend all of the allocation that we got so Carroll County said they had extra money and they agreed to give Harrison County $10,000,” Assistant Administrator Deb Knight explained. e commissioners approved of agreement 22-18, which included the letter of revision.

Also, the commissioners approved of Agreement 23-18, which dealt with “continuing software support and related services” for the county auditor’s office.

County Auditor Patrick Moore explained that it was for keeping track of real estate settlements on their computer system.

He told the commissioners that the contract runs from year to year with a total cost of $2,400 per month.

MWCD reports healthy revenues at May meeting

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Earlier this month the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) held its May meeting at their annex building in New Philadelphia to hear some healthy revenue reporting from their Chief Financial Officer Jim Cugliari. He announced that total operating revenues are around $10.7 million with operating expenses taking approximately $4.5 million for a total of a little more than $6 million in excess revenue.

When it came to the Conservation fund he said through April they are 94 percent of budget and through most of May are operating at 100 percent of budget. He cited additional wells coming on line and the rising price of oil as reasons for the high percentages. He added that

hopefully in July or August at the latest, he would return for a revision on the revenue projections.

For recreation parks fund they were at 54 percent of budget and for park camping, calling it a “major revenue source at this juncture,” they are at 64 percent of budget, “or about 2 percent over last year.”

“So again, a very constant, consistent revenue producer and nothing out of the ordinary that I can see at this point. [It] doesn’t seem to be a real effect of the Master Plan projects that are going on at this point in the budget.” He added that they could see more of an impact the deeper into the camping season.

Board member Clark Sprang asked if the results reflected more in pricing or camping volume, to which Cugliari answered that “would be a combination of the two.”

Cadiz Council hears ideas for Sally Buffalo Days improvements HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | AREA

2

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Dale Davis, president of the Cadiz Lions Club thanked council at last ursday’s Cadiz council meeting for support over the years and allowing the use of Wallace Lodge at Sally Buffalo Park for the annual Sally Buffalo Days, which is on Sept. 15 and 16.

Davis laid out plans for this year’s event, which he said has been growing and is evident by the crowds and vendors that have been showing each year. He said he hopes to continue the Easter Egg hunt, which leads to donations to the Cadiz Food Pantry as well as an ability to donate bikes to kids. Davis said 18 bikes were donated to them for giving away and thanked Orme Hardware for their contributions.

With the event now in its fourth year Davis noted some improvements he wished to see and

Saturday, June 2, 2018

expressed concern for the aging stage and would like to see something newer in its place.

“It’s getting kind of old and it’s not big enough to hold some of the groups that we have in,” Davis explained. He asked if the park board and village council would take a second look at obtaining a grant for the purpose of building an amphitheater. He said one was thought to be coming in the recent past but those plans fell through.

“You know, if we had a couple stages and had continuous entertainment, two days maybe three, we can build something a little better out at the park, like I said, it’s baby steps,” Davis told council.

Davis talked of more events and free games for the kids and was excited about the entertainment coming in as well. He also talked of the car show, which he said around 50 entries showed up last year. He said two large tents will also be

constructed outside for crafters as well as the breakfast being offered both days.

Davis said they have spent around $16,000 upgrading some of the electrical work and thanked council member John Vermillion for his contribution in improving things.

He also stated they needed more improvements for electrical hookups.

Davis also announced the presenting of an old fashioned baseball game, 1800s-style where players wear no gloves, with the same opponent, the Muffins, that showed up for New Athens’ old timer game last year in celebration of their 200th birthday. He said he hoped they could play the game at Mazeroski Field in Cadiz.

Davis also asked if the village could contribute $500 to the event as they had in the past. Council member omas Crawshaw’s motion to donate the money was approved.

In other proceedings, John

Hojonski and Austin Goodlan, were both approved as part-time summer workers in the water department. is led to council member Dan Ossman asking why the need for so much extra help.

Treasurer Amy Ossman said that they’ve never hired two before, though they had one the previous year and beyond that. “e only concern I got is we created four jobs down there last year, why do we need extra?” Dan Ossman asked. Crawshaw and Mayor Ken Zitko said the village needs flaggers and mowers as an example.

“You work on the main drag you need flaggers and I think they even mow grass,” Zitko said.

Near the end of the meeting, resident Leanna Mikesell was given the chance to speak calling herself a concerned citizen and stating it was her first council meeting. After thanking council for the opportunity

to speak she promptly continued asking why council needed to go into executive session noting it was 10 minutes into the regular meeting.

“I’m appalled, I’m appalled,” she began. “What happened to transparency…shame on you, shame on you. You’re cowards,” she told council. She chastised council members for not wanting to talk in front of members of the public but was informed that they are permitted to enter into an executive session “every meeting” if they choose.

Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros explained that the village is permitted under certain items of interest such as, confidentiality issues, negotiation of contracts, or litigation concerns for example.

“Now you don’t discuss those things outside until you’re ready while it’s pending,” Mastros said. “It’s a proper form of government to go into executive session and discuss things collectively, so we can talk

freely…” Crawshaw added that, “anything that’s done in those meetings (executive) comes out in the public eventually.”

Some questions, though, led to informative answers with one being Village Administrator Charley Bowman and the amount of work he’s involved with, as well as the amount of money he makes ($63,000). But she continued criticizing asking why council was needed if he does so much of the work. en she interrupted by insinuating that they needed an administrator because “you can’t do the job,” referring to council.

“We’re a governing body, not an administrative one,” council member Crawshaw told her. He added that for years the idea of an administrator was voted down but with the rising problems within their water system, village council chose to eliminate the board of public affairs and go with an administrator.

Administrator Charley Bowman’s report and noted one of the topics with the good news of the Connection Ban Variance Procedure.

Council member Thomas Crawshaw noted the village

being under Findings and Orders and stated the variance was a long time in coming.

“We’ve proven to the EPA that we’ve been working and wanting to improve our

system and this goes to show it because we’ve been under Findings and Orders for years and ever since then we’ve had to ask to tap in new houses and everything… ” Crawshaw stated. He added that with Bowman and our water and sewer superintendents, the village has been able to build up clean water credits.

“Actually, it’s very significant,” Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros remarked.

“When we were negotiating Findings and Orders that was a very difficult point of contention that we had to deal with and this is a significant improvement on that.” He continued saying that the village is not off any ban yet but again repeated the word significant regarding the ban variance.

“I received notice on Monday (previous week) that we may now use a newly added procedure in the Findings and Orders,” Bowman wrote.

He continued by stating that the new process only requires

notifying the Southeastern Ohio office of the EPA including the documentation that the village is “within the parameters of our sanitary sewer credit system.”

“The credit system is the documentation of clean water that has been removed from our sanitary sewer system through the trunk system improvements, collection system improvements, removal of storm water via downspouts, footer drains and cross connections,” according to Bowman’s report. “This is a very significant change in procedure and a time saver.”

Bowman listed the water capacity of their three trunk lines as: 28,000 gallons (North System); 10,300 gallons (Center System) and 59,000 gallons for their South System.

Other items in Bowman’s report: - The HAB readings at Tappan remained stable with both March and April’s readings coming in at 3.00.

- New base material will be

needed for Maplewood Drive as numerous “soft spots” were discovered during the milling of the road.

“As such, these areas needed to be excavated and new base material placed in its place,” Bowman said in his report adding that the additional work comes at a cost of approximately $18,000.

- Bowman announced “at least” six leaks on Kerr Ave., in the past few weeks but stated a new water line is being installed.

“Due to the problems we have had we have extended the water line to North Main Street,” Bowman said with approval from OWDA requiring additional paperwork.

Regarding property maintenance, 28 letters have been sent for various property maintenance code violations, including high grass. Court dates have been set for four property owners with 14 days required to give notice on high grass being mowed.

Hopedale fire chief receives Distinguished Educator recognition HOPEDALE - Hopedale Fire Chief Mark Marchetta was recognized by the State of Ohio and the American College of Emergency Physicians as a Distinguished Educator of Emergency Medical Service on Tuesday May 22, at the 18th Annual Star of Life Awards held in Columbus, Ohio. Marchetta has been in the Fire/EMS service for 31 years and his accomplishments were highlighted at the ceremony.

Marchetta is the bestselling author of two EMS text books: “How to prepare for the EMT Paramedic Exam” published in 2003 and “Paramedic Exam” published in 2008. He is also a contributing author and expert manuscript reviewer for several EMS text books including “12lead ECG e Art of Interpretation and Emergency

Care in the Streets”. He has author or co-authored 17 prehospital research studies that were published in International journals earning him five international Research awards.

His research on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) transformed how patients with shortness of breath are treated in the ambulance. His CPAP research was presented world wide from 2008 to 2010 and lead to CPAP becoming the standard of care in EMS. He was on the Prehospital Research Board of Advisors of UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, Calif., from 1999 to 2013. He is also the past Chairman of the National Association of EMS Educators Research committee 2000 – 2003. Marchetta has presented nationally at the National Association of EMT’s

conference, the National Association of EMS Educators, and the National Association of EMS Physicians conference over a dozen times.

Marchetta’s distinguished career has earned him recognition as an expert in EMS. EMS providers from all over the State of Ohio seek his advice on a regular basis. He served on the State of Ohio EMS Board for 14 years and is still an active member on many committees. Locally, he is active in training the EMS providers in Harrison County. He is currently updating EMS protocols, the Mass Casualty Incident response plan, providing education on the LUCAS CPR device, electronic patient care reports, and CPAP to the local departments. He serves as the Vice President of

the Harrison County EMS Association, and Chairman of the Mass Casualty Incident Committee for Harrison County.

Marchetta is also a registered nurse and certified emergency nurse for the past 27 years. He has extensive experience in emergency, trauma, and critical care nursing. He not only has made an impact on the local, state, and national EMS community, he has also impacted his family. Both of his children, Mark Jr. (age 22) and Austin (age 20) are both firefighter / EMT’s and run calls with their dad. Marchetta said that the award and recognition is humbling and greatly appreciated but running calls with his children is the highlight of his career.

MWCD

“So, we’ll continue to monitor that but that’s the only item at this point that is kind of running behind where we thought it might be,” Cugliari explained. Chief of Recreation, Scott Barnhart stated that they did budget for the loss due to construction work but did not budget for people who did not show up “because we just didn’t know if they would…”

Cugliari agreed with board member Joanne Limbach when she surmised that their estimates were conservative based on what they projected as possible losses.

“Yes, that’s a very fair statement,” Cugliari said.

Also, Doug McLarnan, former member of MWCD’s volunteer Development Advisory Committee opened the meeting asking the board to consider passing a resolution for commemorating the 50th anniversary of the National Trails System Act, which was preceded shortly by the National Scenic River Act. “So it’s also a national celebration this year but Ohio proceded the national act by several months,” he explained.

McLarnan talked of the Ohio Trail Coalition to make sure trails are part of essential planning for the state of Ohio.

He said the coalition is made up of the Buckeye Trail, Ohio Horseman’s Council and a few others while stating that he represents the American Canoe Association, as well.

He informed the board that the Tuscarawas Water Trail is close to being done with mapping coming to a close.

“I know that this board has had work on the trail plan and the District is working on a trail plan…” McLaran said. “I also encourage the board to look at visioning in the future, what you’re looking at at trails, it’s a way to get yourself out into the communities farther…

“is is economic development at its best,” Zehringer began, “because what we’re going to do here is bring in over this 6,000 miners that we have here in Ohio and the tri-state area [is] help them train, mandatory training that they have to do and the competitions and that’s going to bring a lot of economic development to the community.”

Zehringer made special mention of when he first drove to the area several years ago and noted the difference from then and now. He commended Mayor Zitko and local officials for what they’ve done to build the Industrial Park area up.

“Mike (Sliva, president of Cadiz CIC) what your team has done and mayor, what you guys have done to this area in the last seven years is unbelievable and this building is going to be part of the community,” Zehringer continued.

He also offered up the building’s use to local officials, specifically Sheriff Joe Myers or the fire chief (Leonard Merryman) for conferences or training. “is is yours,” he told them.

“We appreciate all the help and support that you guys have shown us.”

Others took turns to briefly speak on the occasion including Representative Cera, who thanked former Senator Lou Gentile who he said “spearheaded” the efforts.

Cera noted the tough times of late in the coal industry but said, “it’s still a vital industry for Ohio.”

Senator Frank Hoagland (District 95-R), when speaking of the miners who were standing mere feet from him said, “guys, my hats off to you,” referring to the training they have to endure.

“Keep up the good work, stay focused on the fundamentals and never give up.”

Mayor Zitko spoke giving thanks Zehringer and both the county and village CIC members for their hard work.

Commissioner Dale Norris also spoke of the contributions of both the area CIC’s and member Jon Norris mentioned Jones. numerous officials for their work, including his fellow commissioners, including former Commissioner Bill Host, County Engineer Rob Sterling and County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen.

From PG | 1 In non-park areas’ main revenue source (marinas), particularly the cottage sites, said all four of the sites they’re operating, Piedmont, Tappan, Clendening and Seneca were all coming in basically in line with their budget expectations. He added that the only one running just a touch behind was Piedmont compared to last year, which he credited with the Master Plan work being conducted there.

ODNR

From PG | 1 “is is a very big deal for the state of Ohio,” Erdos said to the crowd, “this is new monies that we have in addition to our normal grants that we have in our abandoned mine projects.

“So, not only [can] we do the projects that we had planned to do for the next coming year and year after that, we now have additional monies to do additional projects with an economic benefit to local communities like here in Cadiz so, this is a very big deal for us,” Erdos explained.

Harrison County Commissioner Paul Coffland thanked ODNR officials and said the project has been a long time coming and noting initial help from Rich Milleson. “is is certainly something that will be a great addition to the park and we’re looking forward to it,” Coffland said. e group then gathered shortly after to the new Mine Safety Training Center just across from the former Bayform building on Industrial Park Road. Erdos again led off with the introductions in front of a strong turnout. Miners were well represented from Rosebud Mining of Freeport who put on a demonstration next door at the completed training center. is grand opening was for the office space next to the training center where miners can come and review their training using the latest technology. Erdos then introduced Director Zehringer as he did earlier, commending him for his support on completion of the training center.

Mayor’s Corner Hello!

It seems as though we just finished winter and jumped right over spring and into summer. It got hot and humid real quick, and with all the rain we’ve been having, the grass grows overnight. But that’s better than shoveling snow, so I’ll take it. is summer we will see a lot of construction activity. e Ohio Department of Transportation will be repaving East Market Street from the square to the Village limits. e largest impact we will have will be for on-street parking and traffic on East Market Street. is project involves removing the brick from beneath East Market Street from the square to the high school and is scheduled to be starting on Monday June 4, through Oct. 31. Crews from Lash Paving will be working 12 to 16 hour days from approximately 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Traffic will be reduced to two lanes through the uptown area and on-street parking in this area will be prohibited during construction. ere may also be limits to on-street parking on West Market Street adjacent to the Court House. Beginning on

Monday June 4, Lash Paving will be saw-cutting pavement on the west side of East Market Street eliminating parking in front of Timi’s Restaurant and DiAngelo’s Pizza. During this week, excavation of the pavement will begin. e contractor estimates that the work in the uptown area may last up to four 4 weeks.

From this point, similar work will be done from the uptown area to Martin Avenue. Between Martin Avenue and Van Fossen Road, the pavement will be milled and replaced.

East Market Street from Van Fossen Road to the Village limits will receive a new layer of asphalt. I will continue to update you in my column as we learn new information from ODOT. ere will also be new waterlines constructed on Martin Avenue, a portion of Cherrywood Drive, St. Clair Avenue, Oakwood Drive , East South Street, Allen Drive, Copes Lane, North Main Street (from the square to East North Street, North Buffalo Street, Grant Street, Park Avenue, Peppard Avenue, Maplewood Drive and a portion of Charleston Street. Some of these streets will also receive a new coat of pavement. We ask

for your patience, courtesy and understanding while these projects are taking place.

Chief McCann would like to remind residents having unlicensed or junk motor vehicles on their property that this is a violation of Village ordinance. Property owners having these offenses will receive a letter directing them that they have 10 days to be in compliance or be cited into court for these violations. Trailer and campers are also required to be current on license if being stored on the property. e Police department would also ask motorists to use extra caution in the uptown area due to the construction And repair on East Market Street, State Route 250. Please watch for lane closures, flaggers, equipment and men working along these roads.

Street Superintendent Tim Hennis informs me that the street crew has been very busy out and around the Village. ey are picking up yard debris daily, and I have been asked to reiterate once again for residents to please not overfill the bags. Patching nuisance potholes has also been a priority, along with cleaning catch basins and trimming trees

on East Market before all the construction begins. e Street sweeper is also being utilized as time permits.

Sally Buffalo Park is in full swing for summer. Camping and fishing are highlighted, and please try to get out to attend the eighth annual Sean Carney’s Blues for a Cure concert. Many local businesses are sponsoring this event, and it will be held on June 23, beginning at 4 p.m. is is a free concert, benefiting the Harrison Community Hospital Foundation Cancer Awareness and Education Fund, and the Harrison County Cancer Crusaders. is is always a great evening and held for a good cause. Food, water and soda will be available for purchase; please bring your own lawn chairs and blankets.

One last note, the fireworks display at Sally Buffalo Park will be a little early this year.

Saturday, June 30 is the scheduled date, starting at 10 p.m.

As before, I can be reached at (740) 942-8844 ext. 224. Have a good month!

FIRE & ICE R E P O R T A weekly wrap-up of what’s going on in High School, Collegiate and Professional sports

Who’s hot?

By DJ WATSON

1. St. Clairsville Track should we call them the runnin’ Red Devils? Five girls will compete in the 44th Annual Girls State Track and Field Tournament in Columbus this weekend, and four boys will make the journey as well to represent the Belmont County seat in the 111th Annual Boys State Track and Field Tournament. Nine in total= applause.

2. Buckeye Trail Softball - the Lady Warriors are back for the second week in a row. Next stop for the Guernsey County tribe?

Akron Firestone Stadium, for a date with the #4 state ranked Cardington Lincoln Pirates and a chance to advance into the Division III State Championship game.

Just a few weeks ago, Trail was clinching a District title over the Edison Wildcats at Sally Buffalo Park in Cadiz.

Time flies when you’re winning right?

3. Lebron James Cleveland Cavaliers – well, a sports fan would have to live under a rock to not know about “The King’s” latest accomplishment. He packed all of Ohio on his back once again, headed to Boston and knocked off the Celtics in yet another career defining game seven.

It’ll be Warriors/Cavs part IV, and LBJ is showing up to the party with the underdogs.

Considerable underdogs as a matter of fact. In the series that is already underway this weekend, the odds are more than stacked against the Cavs.

Lebron will enter his eighth straight NBA Championship series as the biggest “by-the-odds” underdog in title history.

Can he do it?

4. Strasburg Softball the Lady Tigers are ranked 5th in Division IV for a reason. They knocked off Danville to punch their ticket to Firestone Stadium.

Interstate 77 will be busy, as Trail and Tiger supporters should be flooding the northbound lanes. Strasburg isn’t a stranger to this stage, finishing as Division IV runner-ups in 2016 and 2010, while finishing on top in 2009, 2011, and 2013.

The Burg’ will meet Tinora in the Final Four, and with a victory will see either Bradford or Hillsdale for a shot at the ‘ship!

5. Michael Brantley Cleveland Indians- long a mainstay in the Tribe

dugout, Brantley is staring down the weekend with a 19-game hitting streak intact.

Manager Tito Francona recently moved Brantley to the two hole in the lineup. Nothing short of genius ya’ see, as ever since the move Dr. Smooth is batting .368 with six homers and 18-RBI’s. May has been Michael’s month.

Who’s not?

1. Houston Rockets - ok let’s give some credit when credit is due. The Rockets took the mighty Dub City Warriors to seven games.

However, let’s also address the collapse here. Not only did Houston own a 3-2 series lead over the Warriors in the NBA Western Conference Final, they blew a 15-point game seven lead on their own court. Got to finish in those spots if you want to beat a team who is chasing down a fourth consecutive NBA Finals appearance.

So maybe if Chris Paul is in the lineup, the Cavies may very well be opening up the Finals in Texas instead of California. One more thing, 7 of 44 from three point land (15.9 percent) isn’t going to get any job done.

Against anyone. Period.

One last thing. At one point the fuel-less Rockets missed a playoff record 27 straight triple attempts. We are almost a week removed from that mess and somewhere, someone on that team is likely still tossing treys at the rim.

Houston, we have a problem!

2. Miami Marlins – 187 runs scored in 2018 to date. Good enough for dead last in team scoring. A solid 15 runs behind the 29th ranked team in the Minnesota Twins. Oh by the way, the flopping fish are 12 games out of first in the NL East….you guessed it, in last place.

3. Reed Sorenson NASCAR- our man is out a full-time ride at the moment, and probably for good cause. He has started just seven races this year on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup circuit, and he has only finished three of those. Those numbers will cost just about anyone their wheels. We get it, he’s a listed “part-time” driver, but we’re thinking to be a full time driver he’s going to have to start finishing some outings. *report reflects time of publication

CADIZ - Justin Kropka arrived at Harrison Central over 13 years ago as head football coach. During his tenure here at Harrison, the smiling leader put up a record of 73-57.

Last week Kropka met with Harrison Central Athletic Director Ray Hibbs, High School Principal Ken Parker, and the Huskies football team to announce his decision to pursue a career in coaching at the college level. “Its definitely a sad day for me,” Kropka stated. “I knew this day would eventually come and I knew it was going

to hurt bad. At the time I didn't know just how bad, but on Friday the hurt really kicked in.

Harrison Central football is like my third child, and I've watched it grow while the kids grew and became men. Saying that I love Harrison Central is a massive understatement, to put it correctly, I am heartbroken to be leaving the program,” he added.

In talking with coaches, teachers, fans and board members at Harrison Central, the feeling is mutual. Kropka was much more than a coach to his athletes. He took a personal interest in what was going on in their lives, and there are many players who have benefited from

his wisdom and understanding.

Before coach Kropka’s arrival, the Huskies had a few less than desirable seasons. “People doubted and told me I was crazy for even applying for the job,” Krop went on. “I genuinely believed in the kids and they believed in some guy no one ever heard of when they didn't have to. It's been special to be part of all that. Being there when we qualified for the playoffs was really something I’ll never forget. It was a special moment you can recapture. I'm just elated for how far we, had come.”

Leaving Martins Ferry as an assistant and taking on the job

at Harrison was good for both Krop and the school. ere were both high and low points during his tenure, but that's football anywhere. e wins and losses do not govern the man, only the season. Huskies fans had the privilege of experiencing some playoff action when in 2009 Harrison was in a Division III playoff berth. at run would end in a loss at Dover. In 2012 the Huskies fell to St. Clairsville in first round action, and the same in 2015 at Ridgewwod.

Kropka was named Division III Coach of the Year in 2009 and was the head coach for the North versus South All-Star Game in 2013.

Hopedale Nationals remain undefeated at 10-0

By ED BANKS

Nh Sports Writer

HOPEDALE - With the 2018 season just a little over the halfway mark, the Hopedale Nationals are sporting a 10-0

record, and looking to match their 2017 performance.

With those ten wins the Hopedale based club is hanging on to a two-game lead that has them enjoying a first place standing.

“We've had a few tough

match-ups, but have managed to hang tough with our defense and some key pitching performances when we needed it,” said coach Jeff Snyder. “Because of all the rain-outs we were in Bridgeport to take on the Ohio Valley River Gators

12U team. The game provided a good opportunity for the team to tune-up and stay fresh. We are all proud of the way the kids are playing, and we are hoping to stay in the win column for the remainder of the year,” Snyder added.

Leading the team on Sunday were Turner Snyder, Evan Kurpinski, Mikayla Pelegreen and Hunter Snyder. Power hitters against the Sluggers were Hunter Snyder with a home run and Turner Snyder with a triple. “It was good to see the kids perform so well,” Pelegreen went on.

Nh Sports Writer CADIZ - On Friday evening May, 25, a well-over capacity crowd was on hand inside the John W. Stephenson Center, as the students of the Class of 2018 said their farewell to the Halls of Harrison Central High School, and moved into their future. As the Harrison Central Symphonic Band played the customary “Pomp and Circumstance” 134 seniors settled-in for what would be their last act as students of Harrison Central before passing into the alumni ranks.

Harrison Central Principal Ken Parker welcomed the students and the audience to the event, and District Superintendent Dana Snider shared a very understanding presentation on 'Choice'.

Memorial Day program held at Buckeye West

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | MEMORIAL DAY

Saturday, June 2, 2018

By ESTHER MCCOY Nh contributor

ADENA - For 25 years the Adena American Legion Post 525 has been presenting programs about the meaning of Memorial Day, how it came about, how it should be honored and how to have respect for the flag at Buckeye West Elementary School. Each year, students from kindergarten through sixth grade perform and in between their acts they listen with rapt attention to the speakers talking about the war experiences of long-past veterans and remembering more present veterans who served.

Roger Sliva, past commander and coordinator of many adult programs on the Battle of Normandy, World War II in general and more up-to-date battles, had done this for 19 years, each time going into all the classrooms to present flags on engraved wooden discs made

by himself for each student. He conducted the programs where parents, grandparents and parents attended to see their children sing, or if they were lucky enough, to read essays that were judged in three places.

"What Memorial Day Means to Me" is the subject and has been all these 25 years. e winners this year were Keirah Coe, first; Shane Griffith, second; and Jacob Rinkes, third. Sliva; and Gary DeNoble, vice commander made the essay award presentations. Frank Hoagland, state senator, 30th district; and Jerry Krupinski and Eileen Krupinski, both former state representatives, 98th district, made the certificate presentations.

Fred Abdalla, Jefferson County sheriff and a Vietnam veteran, was the guest speaker. Roger Sliva received a commendation from state representative Jack Cera, 96th district, D-Bellaire.

Ed Long, past district

commander of district 10, made presentations to Jason Dean, band director; JoAnna Call, fifth grade teacher; and Bonnie Neeley, former fifth grade teacher. He made a special presentation, the Red, White and Blue Award from the American Legion of Ohio, to Donna Sliva, who does much of the behind the scenes work of typing and making arrangements with the auxiliary and legion.

Joanne Black, auxiliary member, gave the roll call for those killed in action in World Wars I and II, Korrean and Vietnam, with one killed in action that year. e fifth and sixth grade chorus sang "God Bless the USA" and the fifth and sixth grade band played "America the Beautiful." is was followed bin y the playing of TAPS by Jason Dean, band director leader; and the rifle squad salute and benediction by Lexie Leach.

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy With the Memorial Day holiday gone by, more fans will be settling in to watch America's favorite past time, baseball. I received an email about another type of baseball that was played on the west lawn of the Ohio Statehouse, with the 132nd Ohio General Assembly taking

on the Ohio Vintage Muffins team on May 22. And I am told that the Muffins were the winners with a score of 11-2.

Now you will see base ball spelled as two words in this column because that it how it was spelled in the late 1800's. e two teams were fighting for the bragging rights for the Richard Schuricht Memorial Cup and it looks like the Muffins ran away with it. Prior to the game, the statehouse's 1st Ohio Light Artillery Battery A performed a cannon firing demonstration and held a discussion of leisure activities that the Civil War soldiers would have entered into to pass the time in camp. Using vintage baseball equipment, games are scheduled for seven innings and governed under rules and regulations of the "Game of Base Ball," adopted by the National Association of Base Ball players on March 14, 1860. e rules are that the ball is pitched underhand from anywhere behind the pitcher's line. An out is declared if a hit ball is caught on. ey represented a changing America. e Ohio Vintage Muffins team was formed in 1981 and they were the first vintage base ball team in America to play in a summer schedule. ey play in uniforms in a period of the 1860's, with plain, long pants; a white shirt with a bright shield containing the team emblem; a pill box hat; leather belt; and bow tie, very classy these guys! ey represent a changing America and base ball went on to become America's national pastime. e Cleveland Indians hosted Operation Homefront with a Bob Hope legacy on Memorial Day. ere were 100 families of military members invited to the game against the White Sox and an active duty service member threw out the first ball and a military child yelled out "play ball" like any umpire. For six decades Bob Hope traveled into harms way to bring laughter to deployed military men and women around the globe. He brought movie starlets, big name movie actors, comedians, dancers, musicians and big name sports stars to the war front to entertain for Christmas.

Miranda Hope, granddaughter of Hope, is vice president of the Bob and Dolores Hope Foundation. Her grandfather went traveling each holiday season from World War II to the Desert Storm era. He was the favorite of the military and likewise, they were his favorite as well.

Memorial Day brings to mind a time when our three sons, Larry, Jay and Darin played Little League and a big rivalry between our Spartan team and the Jets was played on the holiday of the upcoming summer season. Bob Rish, president of the Tri-County Little League would set up an announcing system and each player was introduced as they came up to bat. at was special for them. ose games are not played anymore. Actually there is only one Smithfield Little League team now but the team members get up early on Memorial Day to help raise the flag and lead in the Pledge of Allegiance. ey then walk with the police department leading the way and members of the legions from Smithfield Post 396, Piney Fork Post 735 and the Jefferson County Veterans Association marching in step from the Quaker Cemetery to Northern Cemetery for another service.

We missed all the Memorial Day celebrations this year as our grandson, Matthew graduated from high school and his party was on May 28. It was a different party than I have ever seen. First, he and three of his school mates went together for the party at a very nice banquet hall. e food was outside in food trucks. ere was a Mexican stand with any kind of food of that nationality you desired, including churros; another with cotton candy, lemon shakes, frozen fruit bars and vintage soda pop; and the third had funnel cakes. Galen Cox is a good friend of Matthew and he works with the concessions at the Ohio State Fair and other big events. I told Mr. Cox that I had enjoyed his food at the Ohio Convention Center in January when I was honored by the Jefferson County Fair for a director's award for innovation and excellence in covering the Jefferson County Fair for over 37 years.

Margaret Gregory spent a few days in N.C. with her daughter Marianne Michelli and her family.

Some people say Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. As I sign off, common sense is a flower that doesn’t grow in everyone’s garden. Weak people revenge, strong people forgive and intelligent people ignore. Kindness….a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in this world. Stress, anxiety and depression are caused when we are living to please others. Have an awesome week, take care and God bless.

Highway section dedicated to memory of local firefighter HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | AREA

Saturday, June 2, 2018

By ESTHER MCCOY Nh Contributor

BRILLIANT - AT age 29, Yvonne Marie Fair was taken from her life here on earth too soon but she will be remembered by motorists traveling on Ohio State Highway 7 near Brilliant when they see the gigantic sign dedicated to her life and all the work she did during her life time.

An unveiling of the sign at the Brilliant Fire Department, where she spend many years as a fire fighter, was held with a nice turnout of family, friends and firemen from other departments on May 26.

It started with the Brilliant American Legion 573 color guard presenting honors.

Bill Smythe, past Brilliant Legion commander, gave the prayer and told a story about Yvonne visiting him at the Legion home and gave him a heroes pin. "You have always been my hero," she told him.

With tears in his eyes, he said, "I told her that she had always been my hero. She was taken away too soon."

Yvonne was a member of the

Brilliant American Legion Post 573 after spending three years with the U.S. Air Force until she was retired due to her health. She was serving at the North Dakota Air Force base with work involving chemicals when she became too ill to continue.

She received honorary state Med-Vac flight crew membership and received the 2015 OVAC annual ONVCC excellence award.

Upon returning home to Mingo Junction, at a home next door to her parents, Donna and Harry Fair, she continued working with fire departments in Brilliant, Neffs, New Alexandria and TEMS in Toronto. She taught CPR, helped others in need, was the Farm Bureau SYC youth adviser and was a friend to all.

Regarding the story of how the highway dedication sign came about, State Senator Frank Hoagland told how he was asked by Harry Fair if a dedication highway sign could be possible. He told how it made through the Senate and then got passed in the House, with his dedication in seeing it through. "She was a bright

light who touched everybody and the Ohio Department of Transportation was instrumental in getting the signs to put up on a portion of State Route 7, where many who knew her can remember her. "Who knows, maybe some young girl will see the sign and want to pattern their life along her lines. A little section of Route 7 will be a reminder of her life,” he said.

Her brother, Tony, was there and remembered that the two of them shared a love of cooking and were always in the kitchen preparing something.

They both entered a newspaper cookbook contest together, with Tony taking first place in the appetizer category.

Yvonne prepared a delicious caramel corn and was not a winner but she was happy that her brother attained an award.

Back in school at Buckeye Local, a teacher upon reading about her caramel corn asked why he did not get any of the snack. She made a batch for him and her mother, Donna, has been making it for him each year since her daughters death.

Utica Shale Academy graduates 22

SALINEVILLE-e Utica Shale Academy graduated 22 of its newest alumni during it commencement ceremony on ursday.

Seniors from the main site at Southern Local High School and the satellite location at Columbiana High School joined family, friends and school leaders for the event at Salineville. USA Director Eric Sampson welcomed the crowd to the fourth annual exercise and thanked officials at both schools for partnering with academy and benefitting the students.

“I would like to thank each and every one of you for being here this evening as we celebrate this one brief moment in time that, for these graduates, has been many years in the making,” Sampson said. “Tonight is a celebration of accomplishments of the individuals that sit here before us. Graduates, each of you have traveled a path that has brought you to this destination.

Some of those paths may have been very similar, and some probably couldn’t be more different. But each of those paths brought you to this point in time to celebrate the accomplishments of the last 13 years of your journey in education. We are proud of you and we wish you nothing but great things going into the future.”

Seniors Nick Scott and Dylan Mercer led the Pledge of Allegiance and invocation, respectively, and keynote speaker for the evening was Amanda Greathouse, operator of Safety Pro Training and Consulting of Lisbon. Sampson introduced Greathouse and said she has worked for the past few years to provide training for safety certification to 40 students so far in SafeLand, OSHA 10, First Aid and CPR, confined space and Hydrogen Sulfide Safety.

Greathouse encouraged the graduates to leave their comfort zones and take advantage of opportunities before them. She noted her own initial anxieties about taking her knowledge into schools and working with students but said it has been a rewarding experience.

“It was very exciting and I was so glad that I did that,” she said.

“I’m very proud of all of you.

Over the past couple of years we’ve gotten to know each other and I’m grateful for you attentiveness, patience and eagerness to learn.”

Yvonne Fair, a dedicated firefighter in Brilliant, Neffs, New Alexandria and TEMS in Toronto, who was taken away too soon in life, had a portion of Ohio State Highway 7 dedicated to her in an unveiling of a highway sign at the Brilliant Firehouse on May 26.

“They say it’s a land of opportunity, and it’s true. For each and every one of you here, there is something there for you,” she continued, saying they should take advantage of internships and other resources to guarantee successful careers, plus they could always reach out to her and other USA officials with questions. “I wish you the best in the future.”

Sampson and Utica Shale Academy Board President Dr. Charles Joyce then presented diplomas to graduates Hailey Brock, Alexis Campbell, Chase Cook, Zackery Cox, James Downie, Joshua Hanshaw, Alante Jones, Kaitlyn Jones, Joseph Matheson, Dylan Mercer, Hanna Oates, Kevin Reaves, Zachary RobinsonHunley, Nicholas Scott, Logan Snay and Kristy Soos.

CADIZ – Wednesday’s Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) meeting held in the cafeteria at Harrison Community Hospital, brought some welcome news to the division of Harrison County’s EMA staff.

The EMA, directed by Eric Wilson had been pushing for a new home and specifically had their eyes on the abandoned doublewide trailer near the County Home, which was once used by caretakers of the grounds.

Now they will get to move into it after County Engineer Rob Sterling announced that just that morning, the plans were approved for them to move into their new office.

Wilson said the move would provide some much needed additional space for he and his staff. He added

that the move does not include the expense of a new building but only a little fixing up.

“We were working on making that a reality [and] it will give us a little bit more room and it will give us emergency operations center you know, give us more room to operate hopefully we’ll have some room to grow there,” Wilson explained. He added that there just wasn’t enough room at the government center.

Wilson said they had been working with the commissioners for quite some time on the possible move. He said clearance had to come from the American Disabilities Act, fire code regulations and also wind speed calculations to make sure the structure would hold up in a severe windstorm.

Wilson opened the meeting with information on completed exercises and their

next one coming up. He detailed the next one as a multiple-part exercise involving Shortcreek’s Fire District, which he said has a decontamination trailer.

Wilson talked of triage work being difficult when the number of possible victims can grow from five or 10 and up to 20, which is what they plan on working with as the focus would be on chemical exposure.

He said he was working on the graphics involving their mass casualty trailer. He said the contents are there and it’s only the graphics that remain. He said once it is marked then it would be ready for service.

Wilson said they have secured the Harrison County Fairgrounds for its next exercise, which is set for Sept. 15..

The next scheduled LEPC meeting is set for Sept. 26.

Saturday, June 2, 2018

Organization seeks to support, protect public employee retirement system Jack W. Kibble was appointed in July of 2017 to be the District #9 Representative of the Public Employee Retirees, Incorporated aka PERI (pronounced perry). e District covers Belmont, Carroll, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Holmes, Jefferson and Tuscarawas counties. e purpose of this non-profit, non-partisan corporation is to support and protect our retirement system and its benefits; to promote educational resources and programs for public employee retirees; to study and compare Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) with other retirement systems; to acquaint the members with legislation pertaining to the general welfare of Ohio’s public employment retirees; and to provide a means of fellowship of its members. e Board of Trustees are composed of five officers and 11 District Representatives. As one can see, the 11 Districts compose eight counties which shows that all eighty-eight (88) counties in Ohio are represented.

As it stands now, each county has a chapter, which must meet at a minimum of six times per year. Any chapter has the option to meet more than this but this is the minimum. e officers of each chapter comprise the following, President, VicePresident, Secretary, Treasurer, Legislative Officer.

Membership in each Chapter requires annual payment of dues. In District #9 the average Chapter dues are $3 annually and for membership with the main organization $20 annually. e Executive Committee and Board of Trustees monitor every piece of legislation that is introduced that might adversely affect its members. Once PERI has established a position on an important issue, they lobby the appropriate agency or board and if necessary the Ohio General Assembly. PERI also shares this information with the Board of Trustees and staff of OPERS. PERI makes proposals to OPERS, e Ohio Retirement Study Council, and the Ohio General Assembly for improvements to pension calculations, and healthcare

benefits.

At the end of 2015 OPERS saw the necessity for withdrawing the benefit of providing healthcare for retirees. ough at times the project saw retirees frustrated, the end product has been beneficial to all concerned.

A study was conducted to see that the five retirement systems for public employees could meet certain minimum requirements to see that each system would be solvent for next thirty (30) years.

OPERS met that amortization requirement. However, as an example, the State Teachers’ Retirement System of Ohio did not meet this requirement and their Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) has been suspended for 5 years.

During the last quarter of 2017, OPERS proposed legislation (H.B. 413) that would reduce the Ohio public employees instead of 3 percent to a 2.25 percent. After initial hearings the 2.25 percent was moved to 2.5 percent. Hearings by the Ohio Retirement Study Council and the House Aging & Long-Term Care Committee

have been held at the end of 2017 and one hearing thus far in 2018.

Opposition has been testified to those portions of House Bill 413 which would change the present three per cent (3 percent) COLA for retirees as contained in Ohio Revised Code Section 145.323. e COLA is not a “true” COLA, for it is a three per cent increase of what was paid monthly in the first year after retirement. us, for someone who has been retired for 16 years, the increase is merely two per cent (2 percent). e increase in health costs, including the reductions of the health savings accounts for retirees and the elimination of those accounts for the surviving spouses has increased their cost of living far beyond the consumer price index (CPI). e committee has been informed that the legislature has no legal right to change the benefits of those who have already retired. Section (A) of ORC 145.561 states that the granting of “a retirement allowance, annuity, pension, or other benefit to any person

pursuant to action of the public employees retirement board vests a right in such person.” In addition, Section (B) specifically states that “the section does not apply to an increase made under section 145.323 of the Revised Code for a recipient whose benefit effective date is on or after the effective date of this amendment.” ORC 145.323 is the COLA statute for OPERS retirees. e effective date of the statute was Jan. 7, 2013. erefore, the right to receive the COLA for anyone who retired before January 7, 2013, is vested. It is a matter of contract that cannot be altered after the commencement of the contract (i.e., retirement).

Article 2 Section 28 of the Ohio Constitution prohibits the General Assembly from passing “retroactive laws, or laws impairing the obligation of contracts.” is proposed legislation could do both.

Finally, earlier this year the Committee on Aging saw that there were not enough votes to pass this legislation back to the House and Senate for their approval decided to drop the bill.

As a result, the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) remains at 3 percent.

Each District is required to have an Annual Meeting so that all Chapters within a particular District can have the opportunity to fellowship and obtain ideas to help each of them in the workings of the organization. is year, the District #9 meeting will be held at Sally Buffalo Park Wallace Lodge, at 10 a.m. Mr. Geoff Hetrick, President and CEO of PERI will be the featured speaker. Comments will be made by Ms. Marlene Bond, first Vice-Chair of PERI and Mr. Steve Toth, Retiree Representative, Board of Trustees, Ohio Public Employee Retirees (OPERS).

All Chapters throughout the State are striving to increase membership and get the support that’s needed to represent them as public employees of Ohio. If a person is unsure of who to contact for your local PERI Chapter, here is a toll-free number to call (1-800-2477374) and the staff at the State office will guide you to the correct chapter.
