Cadiz Village Council repeals bed tax

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The bed tax that became a magnet for local controversy is finally over. Owner Ben St. John of the Microtel Inn & Suites and the Days Inn had questioned the tax ever since its implementation back in 2015. He eventually filed a lawsuit last December and the case took just six months to be resolved.

Last Thursday Cadiz council voted to repeal Chapter 185 “of the codified ordinances,” which was read as an emergency thereby ending Cadiz’s portion of the village bed tax.

The Cadiz bed tax was enacted after the county had already placed a 3 percent bed tax, which should have not been allowed. Now the county is left with the only bed tax, which stands at 3 percent as well.

St. John’s attorney Logan Trombley of

Akron’s Warner Mendenhall stated this week that the lawsuit against the village would be dropped after the tax was officially repealed.

“We got everything we wanted,” he stated this week. St. John commented after last week’s meeting that he wasn’t necessarily looking for a money settlement as much as he wanted to see the village’s bed tax portion go away.

“Yeah, we didn’t want to open up that can of worms just because it’s unclear

The Show Must Go On

who would have that right to that money, whether it be him or the people who paid it,” Trombley explained.

When asked how this could have happened in the first place, he made it sound that the answer wasn’t exactly a clear one.

“I don’t know, I think sometimes when people make decisions they think things and they don’t go and check it and look at the law. I don’t think there was anything bad about it, I just think

things might have just been overlooked.”

Trombley did give Cadiz’s council credit for seeing the error and correcting the mistake instead of fighting tooth and nail, which he said sometimes happens in these situations.

“In typical cases even when cities are wrong they fight to the death on them but they did the right thing,” Trombley

Harrison County suffers first COVID-19 death

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Last week Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome confirmed that a man over 65 had died from coronavirus complications. It was the first death in Harrison County attributed to the virus but he could not provide any further details. Repeating his comments at the Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting Wednesday from last week, “it’s a friend, it’s a neighbor, it’s a loved one and they’re no longer with us.”

With the bad news, though, came some good news as the number infected by the virus for the county remains at 11 with 10 now recovered, he also announced Wednesday.

Rhome stated that for Ohio, after a downward trend in virus cases there is now a slight upward trend with over 46,000 cases. He said the state is averaging around 466 cases per day and just over 2,700 deaths.

Rhome said some of the infected are still being quarantined and being monitored with the number at four to

six “on average at any given time due to known exposures to positive cases.”

This meeting witnessed a little more interaction between the commissioners and Rhome as Commissioner Don Bethel asked for his best guest on how the numbers could possibly look after the crisis is all over. Bethel compared 2009’s H1N1 pandemic where the United States saw over 60 million cases but only 12,400 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Could this coronavirus look anything like that in the end, he asked.

“That’s a very reasonable possibility,” Rhome answered then added that as antibody testing increases they will be able to identify more people who had the virus without their knowledge.

“And that’s going to be sorted out like you said, in the years to come,” Rhome explained while throwing in the hope that there will be a workable vaccine. He said H1N1 was also a big deal but now it’s just a part of the seasonal flu vaccine.

He called the H1N1 comparison a “reasonable thought” but that there was no way to know what the numbers will

CADIZ – The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security or, CARES Act that’s been talked about for weeks has finally arrived in the coffers of Harrison County, Auditor Allison Anderson announced Wednesday at the commissioner’s meeting.

The exact total given was $351,354 but Anderson also stated that only one community within the county has filed a request for a share of those funds. Each municipality must pass a resolution before requesting funds from the county, with Hopedale being the only one so far.

Anderson said the county will hold onto the money until October but then it’s up in the air on whether they can keep the money to be placed into the general fund or return it back to the state. She also said there is no

deadline for municipalities to approve a resolution on their end.

“And that’s mostly because that other areas just don’t have anything that qualifies you know, the way that money has to be spent,” Anderson said referring to the lack of municipalities passing resolutions for the funds. “So, if they don’t have it then they just won’t be submitting a resolution.”

Commissioner Paul Coffland said it would be interesting to see what future guidelines come down from the state where he said it’s been changing “weekly.” Anderson said a lengthy conference call was scheduled for later in the day but stated on Thursday that nothing of significance came out of that meeting.

“The county had a deadline, we had to submit…our information by deadline. Townships and villages don’t

REPEALS

From PG | 1 explained. In exchange for the village repealing the bed tax, Harrison Development LLC (St. John’s interest) will forego any attempts to collect previous bed taxes, according to the settlement obtained by the News-Herald.

“The Village of Cadiz shall be permitted to all payments made to the Village as a result of the ‘Bed Tax’ from Harrison Development and Cadiz Hotel, including but not limited [to] the last quarterly ‘Bed Tax’ payment made under protest by Harrison Development, LLC and Cadiz Hotel Management…”

St. John was pleased the case was finally over but still has concerns over the money and how it is spent.

“I’m just very, very grateful this was resolved,” he told the NewsHerald. But he stated his issue with the Visitor’s Center isn’t

From PG | 1 look like in the end.

He also touched on Deputy Director for Belmont County’s Health Department Rob Sproul’s recent report of 100 area high school students returning from a June 13 trip to Myrtle Beach and 17 tested positive for the virus. The story made national news and the warning was of people traveling to “hotspots” and returning to the Ohio Valley, causing a spike in infections, which was Sproul’s concern.

“I want people to be very cautious and tell your family, tell your friends, tell the people you know that are traveling somewhere, please be smart, please be safe,” Rhome explained, “particularly when you return.” He reminded the board that there is no longer a mandate to selfquarantine or isolate.

Rhome stated that someone may be infected who may not become

necessarily over. He tried unsuccessfully last year to be on their board but in the end, the board decided it was a conflict of interest. St. John disagrees with that and feels he should have a say in where the money is spent and continued his wish to be on that board.

Manager of the Visitor’s Center, Janet Fenstamaker, said it will again be up to the board.

She said they have over $120,000 in the coffers with $75,000 earmarked for a stage at Sally Buffalo Park but that will have to wait till next year. She said the money could only be spent on tourist-related causes including any grants they give out.

Regarding Visitor’s Center revenue, and based on the average take of the last four years, the village is looking at a loss of approximately $14,423 per year. Cadiz Treasurer Amy Ossman explained that the village’s 3 percent was divided evenly between the village and the Visitor’s Center.

sick but if not careful, could infect someone who is an elder and who may not be able to handle the virus as a younger person more than likely will.

Commissioner Paul Coffland asked about the time between contacting the virus and showing symptoms. Rhome stated that would likely occur anywhere from two to 14 days, which has been the numbers since the beginning.

“Generally, we’ve squashed this thing here in Harrison County,” Rhome said, “and we want to keep it that way. So it’s not time to let up on doing the smart thing.”

Rhome called the county Myrtle Beach is located in a major hotspot and reminded everyone to be careful when returning from places like that.

"The health department remains focused on education, case identification, monitoring and contact tracing, as we continue to protect the health and safety of Harrison County residents," Rhome stated on the department’s Facebook page last week.

From PG | 1 actually have a deadline that they have to submit by,” Anderson explained but repeated an expected deadline of October where the state may come in and make a decision on the funds not spent.

“Originally it was explained to us that October would be kind of the reconciliation of, ‘okay, you can reallocate to people who can use the money or we don’t know what we’re going to do with it,’” Coffland said referring to the state’s word. He also asked how the county, though tracking all of their COVID-19 expenses, were they

going to account for all other offices expenses due to the virus, with examples such as the sheriff’s office.

“Every dime that we can recoup, I guess, is going to be important especially since you know, we’re losing sales tax money on a monthly basis right now,” Coffland explained. He added that the townships won’t be helped that are receiving less gas tax but are not really spending any money as a result of the COVID-19 situation.

Anderson said it’s an issue they would all have to sit down and examine regarding those expenses.

Coffland suggested after receiving more guidelines in the next few weeks that they could sit down with the budget

Saturday, June 27, 2020

commission in July, to take a look at the revenues and projections to see what they could do with the funds before making a recommendation to the board.

General eligibility information listed from the state of Ohio (Office of Budget and Management) for money is only to be used as “necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease…”

Also for expenses that “were not accounted for in the budget and “were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020 and ends on December 30, 2020.” The document also states that the funds cannot be used for future emergencies or

“multiple programs or be reimbursed by other funds.”

Some of the expenses that are eligible for using the funds are establishing temporary public medical facilities, costs for COVID-19 testing, emergency medical responses and protective equipment, which could include sanitizers and masks for example. Also, expenses for communications, to facilitate distance learning, providing paid sick leave and expenses “for care for homeless populations provided to mitigate COVID-19 effects…”

Scio passes resolutions, notes income tax deadline

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

SCIO – Two resolutions, one for the proposed 2021 budget (2020-006) and the second one (2020-007) was a levy renewal for current expenses set at 1.760 mils were approved at Wednesday evening’s Scio council meeting, which was held at the Scio Fire Hall.

Income Tax Administrator Janeen Scott informed council that 27 residents are “seriously delinquent” in their water bill payments.

She also noted the deadline for filing income taxes, which is July 15. When asked if any delinquent customers contacted her office to set up a payment plan, Scott didn’t say but stated that it was the same people who have been late in the past.

“It’s the same old, same old,” she told council and added that it wasn’t connected to the virus situation either. She also noted July 10 as the date when customers can have their water shut off, as well.

“That’s going to be something to definitely be addressed once July Ten rolls around,” Mayor Michelle Carpenter said.

Also, of the one open seat on council after the spring resignation of Gordon Kress, Mayor Carpenter stated she has received three letters of interest for filling that seat.

She suggested council sift through the letters and discuss who they want to fill that open seat.

During Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh’s report, he noted new water meters due in July would now be delayed until August. He attributed this to the COVID-19 delay in deliveries.

“They might be August now instead of July, end of July [or] August thanks to the resurgence of this COVID. Shipping is slowed [and] issues in the factory in Atlanta,” Tubaugh explained.

Also, the big clarifier project for the wastewater treatment plant initial planning is complete. The June 1 deadline for submitting a pre-application was met with

both public meetings (July 8 and 15) having already been held. On June 17 the full application was mailed in, according to Tubaugh.

“There was no public participation, which is kind of sad,” Tubaugh said of the public meetings. He said the village would know by September of this year whether they are to receive the grant “in excess” of $500,000.

“If awarded the environmental flood plan review and publication will follow,” he wrote in his report. “Basically, it’s all but ten percent of the total project, which is amazing.

So, that LMI (Low to Moderate Income study) actually helped tremendously in a project such as this.”

Tubaugh said the village was still required to do lead and copper samplings for 10 residents on Walnut, Maple, Brown and Grandview Streets and “anywhere with known lead service lines.”

“So, there is no bypass on that it is a requirement,” he told council, which is due by

the end of August but he expects to have it done by mid-July. Tubaugh added one more bit of information due to delivery delays and that is their Chevy service truck to be delivered in September.

Tubaugh also addressed two signs they were waiting on to inform residents to not block alleyway. They were given the wrong signs but the correct ones have arrived and would be in place the following day (Thursday).

This was on the heels of a couple who spoke to council earlier in the meeting that an alleyway is being blocked by people renting a house next to theirs, which is across the street from the firehouse.

Tubaugh said the alleyway is still official and had never been decommissioned, but that it just hasn’t been maintained.

Also, council decided to conduct their regular meetings back at the municipal building (former PNC Bank) after conducting the last two at the Scio Fire Hall.

Man drowns at Tappan Lake

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com TAPPAN – Tragedy struck last Friday when a man in his 70s went into the water off his boat near the Tappan Lake rest area along U.S. 250 to retrieve a set of keys, which reportedly had a float attached to them. But as he retrieved his keys and began swimming back to the boat is when trouble began.

According to Deputy Chief John Maxey of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, he indicated to his wife who was on the boat that he couldn’t make it back. There were also reports of two men in a bass fishing boat who saw the man go in the water but it wasn’t clear how close they were to be able to help.

The body was in the water for more than 90 minutes and was recovered from Tappan Lake just after 3 p.m. Friday.

Numerous rescue units were on the scene, including divers from Dover, New Philadelphia and Bowerston. Harrison County Sheriff’s deputies and volunteers from Tappan, Scio, Deersville and Bowerston were included in the rescue and recovery efforts.

Bowerston Volunteer Fire Department Chief Adam Reardon said the body was in approximately 15 feet of water where there is a sharp drop not far from the shore. He said visibility for divers under water was good and the temperature was also good.

Rescue teams from numerous area volunteer fire departments were on scene last Friday at Tappan Lake where a man retrieved a set of keys from the water but could not make it back to the boat. The body of a man in his 70s was recovered sometime after 3 p.m.

New trial date needed for murder suspect

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – It’s been a while since murder suspect Larry Smith saw the inside of a courtroom but Tuesday he appeared in Harrison County’s Common Pleas court via video conference where he was actually being held in Jefferson County.

Smith, who is being represented by Benjamin Whitacre, is being held on $2 million bond. He was charged with the murder of Lori Storie back in late March and didn’t have much to say except that Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese informed his attorney that discovery will be mailed to him this week.

Bruzzese stated he wasn’t sure

if it was all that the Bureau of Criminal Investigations had to give but he would send all he had at this point. Bruzzese said these items include photographs and documents to be sent in a flash drive “today or tomorrow.”

“It’s hard for me to believe that we have everything back from BCI that we’re going to get but, everything that is being sent is everything that we have at this point but I don’t want to represent to Mr. Whitacre or to the court, that there won’t be additional forensics…” Bruzzese explained.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey told the court he hoped he would soon be receiving more information from the Ohio Supreme Court with instruction on how to proceed with courtroom trials, which have

been placed on hold since the COVID-19 lockdown.

In another case defendant Charles Moreland, facing three charges in two different cases pleaded guilty and was handed a negotiated sentence of three years with credit for time served.

Moreland was originally facing more than seven years in prison if convicted on all charges, which included aggravated possession of drugs and aggravated trafficking in drugs, as well as having weapons under disability.

The possession charge originally carried a second degree felony but was amended to an F3 with the weapons charge remaining an F3. Hervey sentenced Moreland to 18 months for each offense to run consecutively.

Moreland’s other charge, an F4 being aggravated trafficking in drugs where he was sentenced to 12 months, is to run concurrent with the 36 months from the other two charges meaning he will serve a total of 36 months.

Bruzzese explained that when the police weighed the methamphetamine Moreland was caught with, it was determined to be a second degree felony. But after being weighed by the crime lab he stated that it was “clear” the alleged crime was a third degree felony.

Also, Richard Burns, 18, of Wintersville, facing two counts of gross sexual imposition, felonies of the third degree, was ordered to undergo a second evaluation.

CADIZ - This past weekend families and friends across the nation enjoyed some good weather to celebrate their fathers and the male figures in their lives.

The COVID-19 experience knocked the bottom out of the resident’s visits for a couple of months and most of the outside social edification was at a standstill. Since they restarted the visiting program at the County Home, they are still working through the first wave of visits. It will probably take at least two more weeks to work through all of the residents. Right now, the process for visiting may be a little taxing but well worth the effort.

The residents have been waiting and wanting to experience holidays. Through

the holidays seasons the County home has taken extra efforts to assure that the residents experience what most enjoy.

Father’s Day at the County Home would be no exception.

Over the weekend managers and the men working at the County Home had the opportunity to sit down and socialize, as all enjoyed a Father’s Day meal with the male residents.The meal included steak, baked potatoes and asparagus, with a peach cobbler for dessert.

On behalf of all the people involved in the celebration, the County home wants to thank Kim Burgins, Activity and Social Supervisor for all her hard work in putting the celebration together. They would also want to thank the Donna Fulton, the cooks and all who had a part in preparing the meal.

Engineering firm chosen for Sally Buffalo Park dams

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Last Thursday, Cadiz Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski announced the choosing of Hull & Associates as the engineering firm “to assist in the planning and necessary repairs at the Sally Buffalo Dams.” Of the three bids received Hull was actually the second lowest bid at $38,000 but was chosen because of their more experience in smaller dams and were also a local company (St. Clairsville), according to Andrzejewski.

The low bid was CT Consultants ($33,000) and the high bid was Gannet Fleming, which came in at $55,000. Andrzejewski said there was no feedback from CT Consultants considering they were bypassed. Andrzejewski added that Hull also included in their bid more items within their services bid.

“The initial engineering costs will be $38,000 but the total cost of the project will be much higher depending on what is needed,” Andrzejewski stated in his report.

Also, he told council the drainage problem on Cunningham Ave. has been completed. He said top soil and the planting of grass seed was followed through with the next projects to be conducted on Spring and Muskingum Streets.

Andrzejewski said they were waiting on the state of Ohio’s review on the contractor’s bid for the water plant upgrade and HAB repairs, which was awarded to Kirk Brothers of Findlay. He said the next step would be to meet with Kirk Brothers to formalize a schedule for them to begin and to decide how long it would take.

Andrzejewski said renting Sally Buffalo Lodge is still not permitted “as groups are still limited to 10 or less.” He said after he and Village

Solicitor Costa D. Mastros did more checking on the subject that they were told the criteria has not changed.

“We cannot have more than ten in that lodge at any one time,” Andrzejewski explained.

Also, Andrzejewski said the village is reviewing “the rates that we are charging the Harrison Water and Sewer district” for the water they are purchasing from the village. He said in his report that rate increases are due every five years “and we have not had any adjustments since 2012.”

Andrzejewski said Bob Allen of E.L. Robinson would be present for the next council meeting in order to discuss those rates.

“So, what we will do is advise council of the recommendation and the analysis and then also… schedule after that a meeting with Harrison County and let them know what’s going on,”

Andrzejewski explained.

Mayor John Migliore addressed the issue of dust control at Sally Buffalo Park. He told council he expected no action at this time but only intended to look at options for now. He said dust control would cost $6,126 now and looked at doing chip and seal work in sections over several years and “eventually would have it done and it will last us for maybe five or six years instead of just doing it every year, over and over and over again.”

Council Member John Vermillion suggested the section that covers from the shower house to the park office where he called it “horrible,” should be done.

“That’s the most traveled road in the park,” he told the mayor and gave a price of $2,700 for that work. No action was taken on the matter with plans to discuss it at the next meeting, which is scheduled for July 9.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy The first fair of the Ohio season, the Harrison County Fair, come off well despite all the restrictions and changes through the past two months. Lynette Dauch and Richard Eberhart, president and vice president of the 173rd event worked with all officials who needed to make up the rules for the COVID-19 situation. Great work all of you.

There were no rides but those on the 4-H board worked extra hard to make the grounds look attractive by planting flowers and adding brick or stone borders. The 4-H food stand was open as well as some great food on the tiny midway. And Caity Romshak, the new 4-H Extension agent, starting in early 2020, had to experience something that had never happened before on her first goaround with the county. She did a great job though.

It is a shame that the fair book the fair board designed and laid out with committees and stories was not what was really happening. But they had enough up-to date brochures to know when the judging of the animals took place and the time.

I was watching the judging of the pigs and that sure is hectic situation when between seven and 11 hogs are turned into the ring at one time for the judge to study the animal. The owner tries to keep the hog that he raised from a baby- to- judgingweight in check but it has other ideas. Cole Ferguson had his

animals under control and it was nice to young Ellis Jackson doing a good job for his small size. He was the 2019 prince and was so mannerly. Emily Holmes showed an extra hog for a friend and her own high intermediate range project hog with an injured arm. She was working with one hand as best as possible. I don’t know how the animal owners can keep an eye on the direction taken of their pig and watch the judge at the same time.

Great coordination, I think.

Gratitude could be expressed to Zack Jones, department chairman; Ryan Marker, junior fair manager; and Dauch, senior fair board prez for the leadership they showed for the market class hog show.

Fair sponsors for the event were the Harrison County Farm Bureau, Milleson Insurance Agency, First Federal Community Bank and South Central Power.

This column was hurried through. I rushed home from part of the hog show to get this column done. I will continue on all the good people and great donations they made to make it come about next week. I am running out of time to get this column in. And a big thank you to Gov. Mike DeWine for wanting the youth fair to go on.

As he said on television, “I know all about 4-H” I would say that he has or had children of his own who were members of the same great youth event. I met him at the Ohio Fairs Convention last January and he is really a nice person.

SCIO

By Ina Marks I hope all fathers had a great day with their families. It slipped up on me. Time goes so fast. My grandmother told me as a child that the older you get, the faster time goes; now I know what she meant. Now we are looking at the month of July.

Folks will be celebrating the 4th, so enjoy but be safe.

I enjoy reading the articles that Pastor Ken Staley writes. This week was Our Heavenly Father is Good.

I enjoy reading the “Look at the Past”. This week was looking back at the Carson Oil Company in Cadiz. So much history. Articles that we would never know about.

Happy Birthday to all celebrating, to my friend Ada Troyer up north. Also anniversaries.

Prayers and best wishes to all ill, shut-ins, and remember their caregivers, Bless you.

Sympathy and prayers go out to the family and friends of Charles Ash, Mary Ann (Mooreland) Kakner, L. Kelley Michelli, Jeffrey Rothel, Sharon Alkins, Kevin Baker, Thomas Gustina “Tomcat” and all others that have lost loved ones. You will be missed very much, Bless all of you.

Did you know? Mosquitos are attracted to people who have recently eaten bananas.

Have a Blessed week.

JEWETT/CADIZ

By Ruby Foutz Not too much to say this week.

The COVID-19 has left us with fear, lack of trust and loneliness.

Fear of getting the virus, lack of trust from the media, and loneliness for not being able to mingle or go out. We must continue to protect ourselves and others from this so called "killer virus." Continue to pray for all those that have families that have been touched with this COVID-19.

Enjoyed the picture of the old Carson Oil Company in Look at the Past. Thank you.

I enjoy reading the Harrison News Herald because it covers a

variety of topics all over Harrison County.

The Good News by Pastor Ken Staley is good to see along with the pictures in the Look at the Past. The old Carson Oil Company's picture was wonderful. I actually recognized the location. Thank you for sharing this.

If you are out mowing, trimming or walking in the grass or woods be on the look out for ticks. They are abundant this year. The health department and veterinarians office has helpful information on how to handle them before they bury themselves in you. Don't wait, be ready.

Prayers and get well wishes to Lenny Stewart, Doris Birney, Evelyn Statler, Zygfred Dulkoski, Merle Foutz, and anyone that may need a prayer.

Happy Birthday wishes and many more to "Palmer" Horace Love, Harry Huff, Jim Fourtney, and Marjorie Bardall.

Happy Anniversary and many more to Esther & Lamont McCoy. Love you.

Deepest sympathy and prayers to the following families: Sharon Rose Atkins 72 Hopedale (Sharon was the sweetest person and always said nice things about everyone. She will be missed.); Jeffrey J. Rothel 60 Cadiz; Kevin D. Baker 65 Hopedale; Carolyn "Carol" Henderson 78 formerly from Cadiz; Sherry Diane Beatty Monahan 70 Scio; Jay E.

Look at the Past

Obituaries

Looking back at the Globe Hotel Fire

The Globe Hotel Fire. Tuesday, 22 July 1890 shortly after 3 a.m. the shrill cry of "Fire!" rang out upon the still night air, startling from peaceful slumbers the masses. The stable of the Globe Hotel was on fire and the flames spread with great rapidity along sheds and outbuildings between the stable and the hotel. There were in the hotel seven regular boarders and five transient guest, besides the family of the proprietor, Mr. McFadden, and the guests and boarders got out most of their baggage. The furniture of the hotel was nearly all destroyed. The building next to the hotel, across a narrow alley was the furniture establishment owned by J.W. Gillespie. All of the furniture in the third floor was burned. Most of that on the second and first stories was removed. Several buildings were destroyed by the fire. "$500 Reward" "The Town Council of Cadiz, offered a reward of $500, for the arrest and conviction of the person, or persons, who set fire to the Globe Hotel on the morning of July 22, 1890.

James Moore, Mayor. W.H. Lucas, Town Clerk." One can see the smoke coming from the third floor. Today the Gillespie building is the My Local PC Pro location. A parking lot currently is where the Globe Hotel was located. Info from "The Cadiz Sentinel" Thur. July 24, 1890.

Good News

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

Staying Hopeful in a Hopeless World No matter where you turn, there is unrest and confusion. Whether it’s our country, our politics, our relatives or our co-workers there is always something broken or going south in a hurry. Jesus said of the last days, “Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold.”

Well, I think we’re there. And these are just the things going on around us and not necessarily in us. If we take our eyes off Jesus and focus on the evil of the world around us and on our own circumstances, then, little by little, the layers of hopelessness harden around our hearts, and love for

God and others grows cold.

God told Joshua to meditate on His Word day and night, to be strong and courageous, and not to turn to the left or the right. But there are many who meditate on their favorite news channel more than the promises of God. The old timers used to call that “borrowing trouble.” Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, “Don’t worry about your life or about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Please don’t mis-understand me, I’m not saying we should run from reality and stick our head in the

sand but it is very difficult to stay hopeful and courageous if you’re consuming a steady diet of fear and anger through TV or the family and community grapevine. The apostle Paul told the Ephesians, “Now to him who is able to do way more than we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”

So, for the Christian, the question is this, Which power is more dominant in you, the power of God or the power of fear and anger? If we are top heavy on bad news, we lose hope but if we stock up on good news, God’s Word, we can be at peace. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah said, “You will keep him in perfect

peace, whose mind is focused on you because he trusts in you.” Our hope is linked directly to where our mind is focused.

Everyone who wants to stay hopeful in a hopeless world should heed the apostle Paul’s advice to the Roman believers, “Whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”

Where does encouragement come from? The scriptures! God wrote a book for you and me so let’s grab a hold of hope by reading what God has to say to us. It’s the medicine the doctor ordered.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Tribute to Charlie Last week in our local Harrison News-Herald, there appeared the obituary of

Charles Russell Ash of Palm Desert, Calif.

“Charlie” was a graduate of Cadiz High School, “Class of 1952.”

He sincerely loved Cadiz and gave a lifetime effort keeping in touch with those he had known

in school years, as well as the many changes in the community.

Our class (every member he could locate) was notified of special reunions planned every 5-10 years. Where did those years go?

Hopefully the class of 2020 has a “Charlie” or “Joan” who will have the desire to keep in touch.

Those few of us remaining will truly miss “Charlie”.

Class of 1951.

Fair animals judged and sold; sisters win for market steers

By ESTHER MCCOY NH correspondent

CADIZ – By Thursday all animals raised with care by 4-H and FFA members will have been judged and getting spruced up to walk into the auction ring at the Birney Memorial Building at 1 p.m. This will be a different sale than any in the past. There will be no animals coming along with their caretaker. Buyers had a chance to look over the animals during the past three days and make up their mind on purchases.

There are two sisters, Madison and Jenna Young who have attained the honors of grand and reserve champion market steers. Both attend Harrison Central High School and belong to the FFA. The judge, who was accompanied by his young son in looking over the steers in some situations, told the audience that it was a very good show and there was real quality in the ring with each class. These are trying times right now and with this being the first fair of its kind in Ohio, there will be others looking in on how you people managed yours. Four-H and FFA members should thank the people who put on the show and your parents who went through the situation with you.

Madison Young, 18, a graduate of Harrison Central High School calms her crossbred steer who is getting a final touch-up before entering the judging ring for the Harrison County Junior Fair. The steer came in first in the low heavy-weight class and was named the grand champion. Her sister, Jenna Young, came in first in the extra-weight class and received the reserve champion honors. Both sisters were top winners. There were 30 steers in the judging.

An award sponsored by Max Hall and the Valdinger Farms and Fence was earned by Bristol Tipton for raising the steer with the best rate of gain. The steer started at 547 pounds and ended up at 1,300, a 753 rate of gain.

There were seven dairy feed feeder calves, steer, and Ryan Arbaugh was the grand champion with calf steer weighing 730 pounds. Gracie

Rogers was the reserve winner with a 660 pound animal. There were seven in the category. The dairy beef sponsors were ArbaVue Farms Inc. The market beef sponsors were D&E Electric and Don’s Custom Meats. Fair sponsors were the Harrison County Farm Bureau, Milleson Insurance Agency, First Federal Community Bank and South Central Power.

Jefferson Co. Farm Bureau plans for upcoming events

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

NEW ALEXANDRIA - The Jefferson County Farm Bureau board is now making plans following the coronavirus that shut everything down in March. One of the projects is the Promotion and Education committee book deliveries to Jefferson County schools.

The books are in regard to agriculture and written for the American Farm Bureau Federation education division that were to be delivered and read to children in the second grades in all Jefferson County school this past March.

Placemats for Agriculture Week are still on hand also, as the celebration fell shortly before the closing of restaurants where they were to be delivered. There are

baby items for the postponed Agriculture Baby Week in storage until it is decided when it will be held now as well.

The “Straight From the Heart” woman’s seminar to be held in Tuscarawas County in September, as well with involvement with the Jefferson County Fair have been cancelled but the annual meeting dinner for the county will be held Sept. 3, with more information to

come. at a later announced date.

Jeanne Roberts, P&E and education committee chairman, asks that members make a list of ideas that can be addressed when meetings begin. She can be reached at 740-598-4832. “Hopefully, one day we will be able to successfully resume our P&E meetings,” she said. “Also, if any member needs a card to lift their spirits, call Esther McCoy, to have a card sent.”

Bristol Warner and her sister, Hattie Warner of the Silver Spurs 4-H Club make friends with the turkey raised for market. There were three turkeys to start with but as turkeys can be hard to raise, two did not survive.

Harrison County Fair royalty crowned

An outdoor crowning by the flag pole where opening ceremonies were held for the Harrison County Junior Fair revealed the junior king and queen for the 173rd event. Katherine Eberhart, daughter of Rebecca and Paul Eberhart, was crowned queen with Joyce Barr, the 2019 queen present. Bryan Blazeski was named the fair king. he is the son of Barb and Bob Blazeski. Both are members of the Shamrock 4-H Club, with Dolores Spragg the adviser and working with 4-H for 59 years. The court includes, from left, Emi Jones, daughter of Amy and Don Jones and Green Valley 4-H member; Riley Eberhart, daughter of Pennie and Rich Eberhart, receiving the Outstanding 4-H Award for her 15 years in the organization and court member and Royal Riders 4-HClub member; the queen and king; and Bryce Arbaugh, son of Shawnee and Kevin Arbaugh, and a member of the New Rumley 4-HClub.

Bristol Tipton, a small but mighty steer owner, had to pull and tug to get 1,300 pound market steer to saunter around the ring for the judge to inspect. It was hard to do the required looking at the judge while struggling with the steer.

Emily Holmes, second place winner in the extra heavy weight range for the market steers doesn't seem to have trouble handling her animal in the judging ring at the Harrison County Junior Fair market beef show. She works with ease despite the fact that she has a cast on her arm.

Taylor Bardall placed first in the light weight category with her steer weighing 1,088 pounds. She placed third with a lowintermediate category animal weighing 1,117 pounds.

Bryden Doane, Tri-County Showstoppers 4-H Club, awaits going into the judging ring with his 549 pound dairy beef feeder calf steer at the judging on Wednesday. Dairy cows were not part of the 173rd annual fair but the committee will look into an opportunity to hold an event for them in the fall. The dairy 4H'ers have made up baskets of milk products, chocolate candy, Hershey's chocolate syrup, butter, sour cream, kitchen ware and Dave Barnhouse prints to be auctioned in the past.

OHHS provides assistance Scio native dies at Stanford University to those who recently lost health insurance The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in some area residents recently losing their employment and subsequently their insurance.

Ohio Hills Health Services (OHHS) can provide assistance to these individuals and assist them to obtain insurance.

Area residents can enroll in the Marketplace if they have life changes like losing health coverage or having a baby, or if they qualify for Medicaid or CHIP. OHHS has a certified application counselor available to review options and assist individuals to enroll in the Marketplace. You do not need to be a patient at OHHS to take advantage of this service.

“OHHS is a federally qualified health center and part of our mission is to provide quality health care regardless of an individual’s ability to pay,” said Jeff Britton, CEO, OHHS. “Deanna Moore is our Certified Application Counselor and she is available to assist area residents to obtain insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace.

OHHS also offers a sliding fee discount program for those who qualify.”

Health care costs have risen faster than the median annual income.

High insurance premiums, high deductibles, copays, and other out-of-pocket expenses are just some of the costs that make healthcare prohibitive for some individuals.

Deanna Moore, Certified Application Counselor, receives annual certification training via the Marketplace Learning Management System so she can provide Marketplace application and

Deanna Moore, Certified Application Counselor, OHHS

enrollment assistance to consumers. All consumer information is protected and kept confidential.

“Navigating the insurance world can be over whelming,” said Deanna Moore, CAC. “I will not choose an insurance for an individual, but I can help them to become knowledgeable about the Health Insurance Marketplace and what options are available. Many individuals do not realize that financial assistance is available for those who qualify.”

Studies confirm that health insurance coverage improves access to care; supports positive health outcomes, encourages appropriate use of health care resources; and reduces financial strain on individuals, families and communities. Meaningful health care coverage is critical to living a productive, secure and healthy life.

For additional information or to schedule an appointment with Deanna Moore, Certified Application Counselor please call 740-239-6447 ext. 1035.

Gordon H. Bower—who won the National Medal of Science for experimental psychology research at Stanford University—died peacefully with his family in his campus home on June 17. Gordon served as chief scientific advisor to the National Institutes of Mental Health and enjoyed 48 years of continuous NIMH funding. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Society of Experimental Psychologists and the American Philosophical Society. He was a president of the American Psychological Society, the Cognitive Science Society, and the Psychonomic Society, receiving honorary degrees from Indiana State University, the University of Basel and the University of Chicago. In a mark of unusual distinction, the National Mnemonics Association invited Gordon to address a gathering of magicians convened at Hollywood’s Magic Castle.

During a 46-year career, Gordon contributed to our understanding of associative and narrative memory, mental and mathematical models, and emotion-influenced cognition, while editing leading journals in these diverse fields. In an autobiographical piece, Gordon wrote that his research mimicked learning theory itself, constantly expanding “to encompass and explain more complex phenomena.” Gordon said his biggest contribution—with colleague John Anderson— demonstrated how people recall information by organizing it into narratives about who did what to whom, where and when.

He credited his varied interests to his 52 Ph.D. students who infiltrated psychology departments far and wide (winning him the Association for Psychological Science’s 2018 Mentor Award).

His daily greeting to students was: “What have you got for me today?” He encouraged them to pursue their own interests and provided lifelong support.

Discovering that student Arnold Glass (now at Rutgers) was getting married far from home, Gordon and his wife, Sharon, threw a wedding party. Backing student Elizabeth Loftus (U.C. Irvine) when she was hounded for questioning collaborators with the repressed-memory witch hunts, he wrote her in 1996, you’re being persecuted for “sticking your head up above the crowd of cowering cowards.” Owning up when his own research overstated how mood influences memory, he published a 1985 retraction that characterized his original finding as an “evanescent will-o’-the wisp, and not the robust phenomenon suggested by earlier reports.”

Colleague Jamie Pennebaker (University of Texas at Austin) remembers him as “a gentle lion.”

Gordon was born in the Depression, the last of Clyde and Mabelle Bosart Bower’s three children. The Bowers owned the general store in the Appalachian town of Scio, Ohio. Mabelle was a versatile substitute teacher, who could teach civics, math, English or Latin to students in any grade.

Clyde was just starting a business career at the original spam producer, Hormel & Co., when his father’s heart attack forced him to take over the family store.

Gordon’s most-detested childhood chore involved filling the store’s retail potato sacks from a tuber bin in the root cellar. Decades later, he recounted the psychological horror of plunging his hands into that dark, dank bin and fingering cold seams of rotten potato goo. As the son of an international business major who never left these United States, Gordon lived his father’s dreams, leveraging athleticism and education as his golden tickets into the wider world.

Gordon was an all-state basketball and baseball player at Scio High, while playing trumpet in a Dixieland jazz band, an interest he attributed to his pianist sister, Shirley. Gordon’s golden pitching arm paid for his higher

education after Scio High teacher Virginia Wiggins turned him on to Freudian and Jungian psychology.

Gordon said he trained himself to hit homers to avoid the exertion of running bases. The Cleveland Indians subsidized Gordon’s studies at Western Reserve University (now Case-Western) in exchange for first dibs on any future baseball contract. By enlisting in Yale graduate school Gordon closed the door to two drafts—for the Korean War and for professional baseball. In another curve ball, Gordon witnessed hot-bath and electroshock therapies while working at a mental hospital in college—jolts that prompted him to switch from clinical to experimental psychology.

At age 19 in 1952, Gordon met Sharon Anthony of St. Peter, Minnesota at an American Ethical Union summer democracy workshop in New York City.

Sharon asked a speaker there how she endured withering criticism.

Eleanor Roosevelt replied, “No one can make you inferior without your consent.” Sharon matched Gordon’s pace in many fruitful collaborations during a 68-year love affair. Daughter Lori was born in St. Peter in 1959 en route to Stanford. Two more “bunkies,” in Scio parlance, followed: Anthony and Julia. With master’s degrees in theater (Northwestern University) and counseling psychology (Stanford), Sharon wrote three books on assertiveness and public speaking and ran a national consulting business.

As a Yale grad student, Gordon had attended a 1957 Stanford summer seminar on using mathematical learning theory to more precisely parse and predict behavioral data. Gordon so impressed that group that Stanford agreed to hire him upon completion of his doctorate— retaining him until his 2005 retirement.

Studying rats in his first lab in a Stanford Quonset hut, Gordon

recalled cannibalizing discarded pinball machines for parts for his “Skinner boxes.” Evolving from rodent to human subjects, Gordon privately conducted a notorious experiment that might not be tolerated today. He built a Skinner contraption that allowed him to roll M&M candies down a chute to his own rug-rat daughter whenever she nailed a math flash card. That guinea-pig subject claims that daddy’s device helped her ace grade-school arithmetic.

A tightwad detester of pretenses, Gordon hated to spend money on anything other than travel or educating his descendants. When doing something stupid or klutzy he memorably could be heard chiding himself, “Way to go, Gordo!” At Stanford cocktail parties he gladly eschewed fellow academics to swap sophomoric jokes with a teenager in the corner.

Some of his students said they worked harder on presentations knowing that Gordon would call out any demonstrable “horseshit.”

He had a knack for summarizing research in plain language rather than mind-numbing academese.

His aww-shucks, country-boy talk ensured that his jokes and his scientific research will long be remembered.

Gordon is survived by Sharon, their three children and five grandchildren. Weakened by pulmonary fibrosis, he held out for final visits from family members to the campus home the couple built in 1964. He then died peacefully in his favorite reading chair. When 87 productive and satisfying years carried the brain of a leading memory expert into the bottom of the ninth, it quietly stopped firing.

“I see my life as an unbroken string of happy memories stretching back to that kid from eastern Ohio dreaming of pitching in a crowded Yankee stadium … and striking out the fearsome Joe DiMaggio,” Gordon wrote at the end of a memoir. “I remember. Oh yes, I remember.”

HEAP Summer Crisis Program starts July 1 Beginning July 1, the Ohio Development Services Agency and Jefferson County CAC will help income-eligible Ohioans maintain their utility service through the Home Energy Assistance Summer Crisis Program. The program helps eligible Ohioans pay an electric bill, purchase air conditioning unit or fan, or pay for central air conditioning repairs. This year, the program will run from July 1 until September 30, 2020.

“This year, we’ve extended the length of the program and expanded eligibility requirements so we can help more Ohioans during this health crisis,” Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Development Service Agency said.

“We’re working with the Jefferson

County CAC every day to help Ohioans in need”.

The Summer Crisis Program assists low-income households with an older household member (60 years or older), or households that can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member’s health. Examples of conditions can include lung disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, asthma, etc. This year, households that were diagnosed with COVID-19 in 2020, have disconnect notice, have been shut off, or are trying to establish new service on their electric bill are also eligible for assistance.

Ohioans can visit energyhelp.ohio.gov to start their

applications prior to their required appointment.

This year appointments can be held over the phone or in person at the Jefferson County CAC. To schedule an appointment call, 1-740-9969061.

Eligible households can receive up to $500 if they are a customer of regulated utility, or $800 if they are a customer of unregulated utilities such as electric cooperatives and municipal utilities. The assistance is applied to their utility bill, or to purchase an air conditioning unit or fan, or pay for central air conditioning repairs. Ohioans must have a gross income at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines to qualify for assistance.

For a family of four the annual

income must be at or below $45,850.00.

Also new this year, Ohioans enrolled in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus Program (PIPP) who meet the above criteria may be eligible for assistance towards their default PIPP payment, first PIPP payment, central air conditioning repairs, or may receive an air conditioning unit and/or fan.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Parks and Watercraft is reminding Ohioans to stay alert and always practice safety first when swimming at public beaches this summer.

“It’s important that all visitors understand the dangers of swimming in dark waters, especially for young children and inexperienced swimmers,” said ODNR Division of Parks and Watercraft Chief Glen Cobb. “Paying attention and watching out for each other is one of the best ways to make sure everyone has a safe and fun time at the beach.”

Most park swimming areas are designated “swim at your own risk” and do not have lifeguards on duty. The ODNR Division of Parks and Watercraft recommends that all visitors: Keep a close eye on young children and inexperienced swimmers while they are in the water.

Swim only in designated areas at the beach and lake. Buoys mark safer swim areas and swimming past these markers increases the risk for tragedy.

Water conditions in lakes are often murky, and swimmers may not be able to determine how deep the water may be. Young and inexperienced swimmers should stay in shallower water.

Use the buddy system—designate one member of your group to stay on the beach to keep watch on the others while they swim.

Only use approved life jackets and vests for young children and inexperienced swimmers; all other floatation devices, including inflatables, are strictly prohibited.

Check water quality advisories at the Ohio Department of Health’s BeachGuard website (www.odh.ohio.gov/healthybeaches) before leaving for the beach.

Pack all the necessities like cell phones, snacks and sunscreen but leave the alcohol at home. Drinking alcoholic
