Harrison County to see drop in Severance Tax

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HARRISON COUNTY – The steady severance tax income that Ohio counties have seen for the past several years is dropping, at least for now as it shows for Harrison County. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources recent release of oil and gas production for the first quarter showed a dramatic drop in monthly oil price per barrel.

Crunching the numbers based on the average price of oil and gas, in January the price of oil was $61.63 (Y-Charts)

then saw a significant drop to $53.35 in February before seeing a colossal drop in March all the way down to $32.20. That’s an average first quarter price of just $49.06 but will probably be nothing compared to what the second quarter numbers are expected to bring.

For April, the price of oil dropped to an astounding $21.04 and rose slightly in May to $30.08 for an average of $36.08, so far with June still to be calculated. That will probably rise a bit as June pricing is expected to be even higher but for the county’s take, that

remains to be seen.

Total oil and gas revenue for Harrison County is also down by roughly $80 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Last year’s fourth quarter brought about $283.8 million in approximate revenue compared to the 2020 first quarter of $203.6 million.

That’s a drop of just over $80 million.

First quarter gas prices (Henry Hub) have mostly been under $2 (per million btu) except for January when it came in at $2.02. But the following two months it fell to $1.91 for February and saw another drop to $1.79 in March. This

is an average of $1.91 for the entire first quarter, which is down from the average of last year’s fourth quarter of $2.40. April and May’s numbers were consistent at $1.74 and $1.75 respectively.

These last four months of natural gas prices being below $2 hasn’t been there since May of 2016 when gas hit a low of $1.92. That time period suffered four out of five months seeing gas prices hit below $2 stemming from December of 2015 through the following May of 2016.

So what does this mean in severance

tax for Harrison County? The severance tax for the 2019 fourth quarter was approximately $2.4 million but with the reduced first quarter numbers, that has dropped to just over $2 million, or roughly a $307,000 loss in tax revenue.

Harrison County Auditor Allison Anderson, when questioned what the actual numbers are for the county’s first quarter take, said it was difficult to answer but did confirm it would be down. She said Rover Pipeline is contesting the value the state has placed

Death ratio in question as county reaches 12th COVID-19 case

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome, during Wednesday’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting, continued to preach caution as the county hit number 12 in confirmed COVID-19 cases not long after last week’s meeting.

The U.S. totals are now at 2.6 million confirmed cases and 127,000 deaths, Rhome stated and later added that Ohio was going in the wrong direction.

“The trend continues into this week where the daily new cases reporting in an upward trajectory,” Rhome said of Ohio’s predicament. For Ohio he said that figure is nearly at 52,000 cases but as of Thursday, the number is now at 52,865 with 2,876 deaths, which brings the Ohio death ratio to 5.4 percent. This is now higher than the national death ratio of 4.8 percent.

MWCD receives six Tappan Marina bids

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Third time must really be the charm because this time the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) hit the jackpot with six acceptable bids for the troubled Tappan Marina renovation project. according to Chief Engineer Boris Slogar those bids were received on June 24 and all were awardable, as he described it.

Slogar said it wasn’t the low bid they are going to go with but the second lowest bid, which is the Knock Corporation. This is the third attempt at awarding a bid after the previous two attempts all produced bids beyond the 10 percent estimate. This was also in addition to adjustments to the design, though not major were critical to shaving off cost in order to get the bid within that 10 percent range.

“The apparent low bidder’s submittal was not accepted because the bid was incomplete. MWCD does not allow bidders to revise their bids once submitted,” Slogar explained via email this week. “Overall, we are very pleased with the response to our call for bids and are currently working with Knoch Corporation to enter into

FOE Eagles donate check to Cadiz Police

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Wednesday morning saw another donation given to the Cadiz Police Department from the FOE Eagles 2162, located on E. Market Street in Cadiz. The check was handed over in the amount of $10,000, which Police Chief Ryan McCann said all donations by the organization now totals an astounding $100,000.

“The Cadiz Police Department and I would like to personally thank Ron Stine, the Fraternal Order of Eagles 2162 Aerie and auxiliary members, and the Ohio State Aerie Fraternal Order of Eagles enough for making this grant possible,” McCann said.

“The Eagles have been generous over the years and many thanks to all of them and for what they do to help our department, which in turn helps the community.

“I myself am a member and what a great organization to be a part of

for all the good they do for the community and all over the United States.”

McCann said the grant has dated back to 2009 when former Police Chief Bryan Dowdle began applying for the FOE grants for much needed equipment.

McCann then picked up that baton when he took over in 2013, which has led to the six figure total given by the Ohio State Charity Board.

Some of the items purchased over the years with the previous grant money were car cameras, office computers and even the late K9, Endy, was purchased with their grant money. Other equipment included speed radar units for police cruisers, tasers, laptops, projectors “and a screen to be used for training.” McCann said this money will be used for brand new laptops and body cameras.

“We’re just very grateful for their generosity,” McCann said.

Rhome repeated what he’s been saying for weeks to continue social distancing and for people not to get careless in their habits. He stressed the hand sanitizing, cleaning work surfaces before and after, as well as what he called the “hot topic” of mask wearing.

“But those four things combined are what will get us through this if we can all act accordingly,” Rhome explained.

When Commissioner Paul Coffland asked if social distancing included staying within one’s familiar group, Rhome agreed and said that that is still the recommendation from health officials.

Rhome was also asked about the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) study of six sites they

Following that was Cadiz Township with 211,000 barrels of oil produced and Nottingham next with just over 192,000 barrels.

Moorefield, Shortcreek and Athens Townships were all

over 160,000 barrels produced.

Total barrels of oil mined for the county’s first quarter take was just under two million with natural gas listed at a little over 57 million per btu.

Athens Township was the largest producer of natural gas at 20 million per btu with Archer next at 10.8 million per btu and Cadiz Township third at 7.7 million per btu.

According to ODNR, the state of Ohio “produced 5,887,032 barrels of oil and 581,634,083 Mcf (582 billion cubic feet) of natural gas.” Also, when comparing the first quarter of 2020 with 2019 16.03 percent more barrels of oil was produced for this first quarter but gas production was down by 4.5 percent compared to last year’s first quarter.

released last week stating that cases may actually be “10 times higher” than are being reported.

CDC Director Robert Redfield made the announcement during last week’s conference call with reporters.

“Our best estimate right now is for every case reported there were actually 10 other infections,” Redfield said referring to a serology test on six sites to examine for antibodies in people with little or no symptoms.

“I can’t speak to that estimate, I don’t know what they were looking at,” Rhome said “[but] if they got the data they’re the experts on that, I’d say that’s pretty reliable. I don’t know about ten times, is it fifteen times or five times but it’s definitely higher than what we’ve determined…”

The other question remains is if the cases are 10 times higher than one would assume the death ratio would drop, and dramatically. According to those Wednesday figures, instead of dividing 127,000 deaths by 2.6 million cases, the equation would be to now divide those deaths by 26 million cases, which brings the death ratio down from 4.8 percent to 0.4 percent. This number is only three-tenths higher than the

seasonal flu (0.1) that Dr. Anthony Fauci had stated and only two-tenths higher than 2009’s H1N1 pandemic of 0.2 percent (CDC) death ratio.

The News-Herald reached out to the CDC and received a response from Jason McDonald of the media team for CDC's COVID-19 response.

“The serology results from the six sites indicated the presence of antibodies and suggested previous infection; however, those people were never confirmed cases,” McDonald wrote via email. He also pointed out that the “estimation of underreporting” doesn’t impact the fatality ratio. He said the death ratio “is solely calculated using confirmed cases and confirmed deaths.” But if the serology tests done on those six sites were accurate, then how can one not factor in an update death ratio, at least for those six sites?

“The objectives of the agency's national serology strategy are to provide a more complete estimate of how common COVID-19 is (or the incidence of infection) and guide control measures like social distancing.

The studies are not meant to modify official case or death counts,” McDonald explained.

The discussion continued

regarding older people and vulnerability, which Rhome said the cases of seasonal flu has been “weaponized” on both sides regarding what is killing vulnerable people more.

“It’s hard to get back to a normal way and still maintain those close contacts but we just have to keep trying,” Rhome explained earlier regarding public habits. “And let’s not forget and I frame this for everybody…the whole idea is we go back a couple months, reduce hospital surge. We successfully did that but we don’t want to lose that hold that we got on reducing hospital surge.”

Rhome said people should keep in mind to be cautious for the other person who maybe more vulnerable than yourself such as, the diabetic, an older person, someone who has a heart condition or has lung disease.

“Who do you know, yourself or your loved one, who you should be taking care of? And that’s sort of the message to try to get across to people.”

McDonald stated that the CDC “continues to do serology studies to get a better sense of how much underreporting has occurred because of mild or no illness.”

Motocross school up and running in Cadiz Jewett Council forced to

By JD LONG threaten Encino water shutoff; drafts new water policies jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE NH Contributor

Water bill delinquency is a hard reality for small towns including Jewett, but large-scale late paying customers like Encino Energy put particularly heavy pressure on the village.

With three outstanding water bills from February, March, and May, Encino is purported to be upwards of $15,000 behind on their payments to the Village of Jewett. Council members decided if money is not received

by Monday, July 6, by 5 p.m., Encino’s water supply will be cut off until payment is made.

Members of the council confirmed that they have made many attempts to remind Encino of the outstanding charges. During the meeting, council informed the energy provider of the looming deadline, but were assured the bill would be paid in full by Encino personnel.

“I’ve been told repeatedly that ‘the check is in the mail,’” said Linda Ager, Jewett treasurer.

Council began the process of drafting a new ordinance pertaining to the new water system. The council plans to include in the ordinance that all names of property owners must appear on monthly water bills,

which affects rental property owners.

According to this plan, Jewett renters will receive water bills to their residence with the property owner’s name on it, a standard practice in neighboring counties meant to protect the village from outstanding unpaid bills.

Because this puts rental property owners at higher risk with their name attached to somebody else’s bill, the village will also draft a waiver for rental agreements. The waiver will legally bind the renter to pay the bill regardless of eviction, as it is their responsibility and their water usage.

The village would also like to update their monthly bills by including the water shutoff date in addition to the bill’s due date and delinquency date, which would do away with the need for notices and door knocking.

If residents are informed of the timeline on each bill, the village can automatically shut off water supply without taking other action. September is the earliest this ordinance could go into effect, pending that council approves it, the new water system is in place, and Jewett is no longer be restricted by COVID-19 relief efforts disallowing residential water shutoffs.

Water continued to be the topic of lengthy discussion. The water project is reported to be ⅓ of the way done as the main line through Jewett is complete.

Council approved a budget increase of nearly two million dollars to move forward with the new water treatment plant.

They also approved a $10,200 bid for a new metal roof matching the public garage to be put over top of the existing, leaky shingled roof on the current water plant. Also, county commissioners agreed to pay for Jewett spillway repair and Village Solicitor Jenna Hokes resolved a potential legal issue with a local attorney representing a claim that water was “actively spewing from the toilet and sink” in a Jewett residence. This claim was determined to be false and no litigation is expected.

In other Jewett news, both the veterans flag park and the main park playground have seen much needed improvements, like a fresh coat of paint and landscaping. The craft show has been canceled for 2020. Jewett is, however, calling for volunteers and community support by means of a clean-up day scheduled for July 18 from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.

All Puskarich Library locations to reopen The Puskarich Public Library is reopening starting July 6.

During this limited services phase, patrons still have full, open access to our collection and our staff is ready to help you with all your information needs.

To meet your needs during the COVID-19 crisis, they launched a new service— curbside pickup.

Many individuals loved this service so it will be continuing during this phase of the reopening and they look forward to serving you inside and outside of the library!

The main library will be open 11-6 Monday through Friday and the Clark & Scio branch libraries will be open 11-6 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. The Puskarich Public Library System's team is deeply committed to serving you safely.

At the recommendation of Harrison County Health

Department, they are taking several health precautions to protect the patrons. This includes limiting the amount of individuals in the building at one time so that social distancing can be observed.

The facility will be cleaned throughout the day including high use surfaces. Protective barriers have been installed and all items that are returned will be quarantined for 72 hours before being checked in.

In realizing the hardships that many families have felt, there will be no overdue fines on books and other items during this time. Sandi Thompson, Library Director, notes “that library services and the spaces will look much different from before COVID-19. Changes include limiting capacity and computer use, changing open hours, putting one-way walking

markers on floors, requiring staff to wear masks, having sanitizer available, and installing Plexiglas protection guards—all intended to protect staff and patron health.”

The Puskarich Public Library System’s Cadiz location is currently undergoing a large renovation to meet the changing needs of the patrons and improve the handicapped accessibility of the building.

During this time, the library has moved a reduced collection to the meeting room area to continue to serve the patrons.

All services remain in place, but the collection is smaller due to placing much of it in storage while the library is renovated.

The library looks forward to serving patrons and once again being able to serve the needs of our communities.

CADIZ – Gary Vorhees, the man behind the organizational workings during the Harrison County Fair’s exciting motocross events, has got his long awaited motocross school up and running. The dirt track, which he’s named Fuel Motor Sports, is located at the corner of Ohio 9 and Industrial Park Road where he is concentrating mostly on schooling, practices and track rental.

“I’ve been wanting to do this for years,” Vorhees said. The motocross school is for kids and adults and he also rents the space by the hour. For the training Vorhees has three pro riders lined up in Mike McDade from Pennsylvania while Clay Elliot and Jason McConnel are both from the Akron area.

McDade, who Vorhees sponsors, is the most decorated rider of the three and a big name among the motocross group.

About the business Vorhees stated he’d rented equipment for eight days for an overall working time of 10 days to get the track built. He said it’s strictly outdoors for now but he has eyes on the tan building that sits

on the property at the knob of the hill. Hopefully he would like this to be an outdoor-indoor operation with the occasional race being held. Those races would consist of pit bikes and the mini three-wheelers, but he said there are no races being held on site at this time.

The property sits on 21 acres and as of now, consists of a half a mile of track but Vorhees is looking at three-quarters of a mile of track in the future. He said that’s going to take about seven to eight thousand yards of dirt but when completed will offer tremendous flexibility with weather being out of the

equation.

“It’s in a perfect area being it’s right off route nine,” Vorhees said of the track. He said he had people stopping by as the track was being built so interest had already been building. Now, he’s got young kids from Akron, Massillon, beyond Pittsburgh and Moundsville, West Virginia coming for training. He said the youngest he’s got training is just five years old.

Anyone interested in the school or renting space is encouraged to call Gary at: 740491-0065. The track is located at 43087 Industrial Park Road, Cadiz, OH.

They made out with what they had knowing that family was the most precious thing. Making out with what was allowed was the theme of your Ag Society as well.

Go into the barns and look over the amazing job the youth has done not even knowing if there would be a sale. These young people will grow up to work at local businesses and beyond. Thank the group who worked so hard to put it on.”

I was so proud of Alexia Dennis who promised to turn over the money obtained from selling her pen of three market chickens to the American Cancer Society. This was in thanks for their help in bringing her grandmother back to good health. Dr. Dundr got the bid at $650 and an anonymous buyer added another $100. She cared for those chickens every day for several months to have the money donated to a wonderful group who helped heal a loved one. I am not sure of the spelling of the name but I heard the buyer’s name as Dr. Dundr. If I am wrong, tell me.

South Central Power donated $250 to each grand champion winner in the 10 categories.

There were participation ribbons for the members but no grade.

I was talking to James Cunningham of Unionvale as he helped his two daughters do the tricky job of getting two hogs to march up the aisle and enter their own stalls.

I didn’t see any porker who did it on the first try. They run like racehorses at the Belmont and when they come to an obstacle such as a wooden blockade, they turn on a dime and head the other way one heaven help anyone who stands in their way. Because his daughters are in 4-H, he is reliving those days of his youth when he did the same thing, being acquainted with 4-H for 38 years.

Another long-time 4-H personality is Dolores Spragg. who will be celebrating 60 years in 4-H in 2021. First, she was in her youth 4-H club and then she and her husband, Earl, had a club together, the Shamrock 4-H Club. I met him while going to Mount Pleasant to do a story on its Historical Society long ago. “ I know who you are, you are Esther McHugh, and I knew your dad and you look just like him.” I explained that it was McCoy now and I had heard my dad speak of him.

Upon his death, Dolores had a 4-H scholarship for both a Harrison and Jefferson county outstanding member. She has to be so proud of two members of her club, Katherine Eberhart and Bryan Blazeski, for being Junior Fair royalty together. The queen will be visiting other fairs over the summer and fall, appearing in parades through the county and participating in the Ohio Fair’s queen contest in 2021.

The Motor Cross held on Friday was at no charge to the fair board. There were sponsors who made it possible.

I noticed Angie Allison, Jefferson County 4-H education agent, in the crowd at one of the judging’s. Her fair will be coming up in August and I know they have lots of planning to do to bring it up to Gov. Mike DeWine’s guidelines. Ray “Rainbow” Hilderbrand, fair board president, will see to that.

There is much more I could talk about on the 173rd fair that is now history and will live in the minds of the 4H’ers for years to come. If you

went to support the youth organizations, if you were a livestock buyer or if you stopped at one of the food trucks, I know the fair boards thank you. We will see what next year brings.

Carlie Rogers, a 4-H member, sang the National anthem for great morning weather at opening ceremonies. She has a wonderful voice.

Everyone be careful as they travel about to celebrate this holiday with family and friends.

Kota Devore had another trip to the boxes June 28th at the John Penton (Dirt Bike) Nationals. Another podium finish, 3rd and 33rd overall.

Congratulations. Keep up the good work. Kota is the son of Travis and Nicki Devore, grandson to Shelley McMillen Devore and the late Chuck Devore, great-grandson to Harold McMillen and the late Joanne Coultrap McMillen all of rural Deersville.

Noah Strickler, son of Tom and Amy Vansickle Stricker of rural Deersville participated in a weeklong online cyber summer camp for Boy Scouts.

He learned about NASA and space. He had to build a catapult to launch marshmallows and he earned his Nova award. He even got to try an astronaut ice cream bar. He was skeptical but it actually wasn't bad at all. He would definitely eat one again.

A career that interested him is an Astrophotography. Job well done Noah!

Honoring our hometown heroes

Good News

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

Independence: It’s Worth Fighting For Happy Independence Day! So, on July 4th, 1776, the colonies declared their independence from England. The King wished us well and peace reigned throughout the land with everyone living happily ever after.

Well, not exactly. Most of the time, declaring independence from someone who wants you to be very dependent on them, can actually ramp up trouble like you’ve never seen. It doesn’t matter if it’s a government, community, family, or Satan himself. There are just some folks out there who don’t like to let go.

“You have a lot of nerve thinking you can get along without my input” so the theory goes. For King George, it was our taxes and, maybe, an arrogance of

entitlement that said, “You belong to me.”

But you don’t need to be a king to suffer from that malady. There are battered women hiding in homeless shelters all across our land whose ex-whatever believed everything I just described. From a spiritual standpoint, the Bible declares that Christians have an enemy whose three-fold aim is to kill, steal and destroy…and he’s very good at what he does.

As followers of Jesus, we declare our independence from the world’s system by living according to the standard of righteousness as laid out by Jesus himself. That’s when the fireworks begin.

Jesus told his followers, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would

love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.”(ESV) Some Christians try to play both sides against the middle. You know, go along to get along. But if you’ve kept up with current events, it’s become quite evident that we live in an era where we are being forced to choose sides. It reminds me of Christian song lyrics I heard that said “Dark is darker, light is lighter, wrong is wronger and right is righter”. I know, it’s not good English but it gets the point across.

As our founding fathers experienced, there comes a point where you just have to say “Enough!” As followers of Jesus we must confront the compromise of sound doctrine and the temptation to be chummy with worldly

Around the County Happy 4th of July! July 4th celebrations have been canceled around the county as many have in the past enjoyed seeing fireworks at Sally Buffalo and Tappan Lake Park, we will have to wait until next year to see them again.

It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through 2020.

What a year it has been, let’s

hope that the second half isn’t as hard as the first has been for many.

Last week was the Harrison County Fair not the fair we are all use to, but a big THANK YOU goes to our fair board for making the best of a difficult situation for the 4H youth. To all the buyers who came and showed their true support to the

philosophies that water down the truth of God’s Word.

The apostle James wrote, “Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? (NLT) He certainly did not mean for us to not love, care, and pray for a lost and dying world, but rather that we should not adopt the social mores of the current age to make ourselves more acceptable to pop culture. The world doesn’t need Jesus “Lite”, only Truth will do.

The old hymn still rings true today, “Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross”. As we celebrate our country’s independence today, let every follower of Jesus celebrate spiritual independence from a broken worldly system and anything that compromises our walk with Jesus. pastorkenstaley@gmail.com.

This July 4th as we celebrate our country’s independence, we pay honor and tribute to the brave men and women who have served to protect our freedom. The veterans and residents of Harrison County, along with the people of “Our USA” what to specifically say thank you to Karl Bigler and Roy Hildreth for their outstanding sacrifice and service in World War II. We salute you!

Karl Bigler, of Jewett, served with the Army Air Corps. Most significant was his participation in the Berlin Airlift, delivering food, fuel and lifesaving airdrops to the sieged people in Berlin. He was also part of the European Air Transport Service (EATS). Karl will celebrate his

93rd birthday on July 30.

Roy Hildreth Jr., of Cadiz, was drafted into World War II. He still remembers the locomotive that took him from the Dennison Depot. Roy’s service was particularly painful and personal as his mother passed away while he was serving overseas. Roy will celebrate his 93rd birthday on Nov. 15.

Both men are proud of their country and shining examples of servicemen to those who come after them. They are revered for their brave service to step up to the call, just as many other servicemen did in WWII. When asked, both will say to us all: “Please honor and respect our flag and nation always.”

From the Harrison County Visitor's Center

4H members at the sale THANK YOU for believing in the future of our county.

Although many events have been canceled there is still plenty to enjoy here in Harrison County. The lakes are a great place to spend the day or weekend enjoying camping, fishing, boating or swimming.

The Conotton Trail is a great

place for the family to enjoy a bike ride or a walk. Take a drive out to see the buffalo at the Boss Bison Ranch. Did you know that Harrison county is home to a 16sided barn? Only one of three in the United States. So, if your vacation plans were canceled why not just look at the beauty, we have surrounding us and stay close to home and stay safe.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To The Editor While driving on an errand with my brother and three other family members, his car over heated as we headed east on U.S. 22 just outside of Cadiz. My brother immediately turned the vehicle around and we began to limp back home.

When we reached North Main Street Extension, we had to pull over to the side of the road to allow the vehicle to cool down.

Never dreaming that we would be blessed this day, all of us were pleasantly surprised that several folks, many that we did not know, pulled over to ask

if we needed assistance or offered the use of their phone.

During the current times the actions of these people give me hope. There are many good people who still care…even though what we currently see in the news and on social media is just the opposite of kindness, caring and love.

We thank all of those who cared enough to stop and ask if we needed help. You made our day!

Late surge pulls Mudcats by Huskies 10 - 8

Slinging mud at the HC fair A surprisingly nice crowd turned out with the grandstand nearly half full in spite of the rain on top of the coronavirus cloud. 128 riders turned out for last Friday’s muddy motocross event.

CADIZ - Though the first four innings were run-profitable for the Huskies, the Ohio Valley Mudcats would use the second, third, fourth, and the fifth innings to mount a comeback over the home-standers.

Harrison looked to have things in control while leading 6 - 3 at the end of five before the homebased Mudcats began the hitting spree that placed them on top at the game’s conclusion.

Harrison did the early damage by closing inning number one with three scores, and then went on to put up single digits in the next three frames. The visitors struggled early with two runs in the third, one in the fourth and two in the fifth that led to the game winning surge.

Skylar Mazeroski started on the hill for the Huskies. Kobe Mitchell hit a two-run double in the first, a balk, and a pair of plunks by the Mudcats led to the third score of the inning.

During the third, Cabot Arbaugh unloaded with a onerun triple and Mazeroski had a double.

The following Wednesday the Huskies lost to visiting Brooke by a score of 9 - 2. Brooke would

score in the third inning to register the game’s first score.

“This was a good outing for experience purposes,” said Head Coach Mike Valesko. “We had a lot of young kids out there today, while a major part of the squad was away. This gave us the

opportunity to get some older age exposure and competition for the young kids. We had some errors, and the guys asked a lot of questions on how that can be corrected. That was a plus for the evening. Before leaving, I told the kids that after the Holiday lets

come back and get some wins,” he added.

The Huskies will be back in action next week at home on the 13th (Creek) and the 15th (Wheeling Park). They will be on the road on Friday the 17th at Weirton.

CADIZ – Last Thursday during Athletic Director Ray Hibbs’ report for the Harrison Hills Board of Education, he announced that the school’s athletic membership in the Buckeye 8 Athletic Conference was to be adjusted. The Huskies would be moving into the north division as a result of Buckeye Local no longer being a member beginning with this school year.

Hibbs said the change will begin with the 2021-22 school year, which brings the conference down to nine schools. He said other schools were approached with no takers, which included a few West Virginia schools in Weir and Brooke.

“We approached Brooke, Oak Glen and Weir, although they’re not from Ohio, none of them particularly showed any interest,” Hibbs told the board.

He further explained that those school’s rejection had much to do with the way West Virginia high school football operates with an 11-week season and who they play factors into qualifying for the playoffs.

“So it wasn’t a real fit for them,” he said. “Cambridge was actually the only school that formally applied to be a part of the league. Geographically it did not make sense for them to join the north.” He said Harrison Hills was a better fit to join the northern division all along and will now be competing against “Indian Creek, Edison, East Liverpool and Beaver.”

Hibbs said they would definitely be keeping St. Clairsville on the schedule as they play for the Coal Bucket, after conferring with Head Football Coach Anthony Hayes.

He also said Buckeye Local would remain on the schedule as the two schools play for the Vales Trophy. Hibbs said that so

far East Liverpool is the only school not scheduled for this year.

“Right now the only school in the south that will be coming off is probably going to be Martins Ferry and that’s just because there aren’t enough weeks in the season to keep all of this kind of on the same page,” Hibbs explained. He told the board that athletic schedules are set for this coming year other than a few exceptions such as, bowling and wrestling for now.

Board Member DJ Watson commented on the matter noting that with just nine teams the conference is not as stable and the existence of it could have come into question. Hibbs agreed on the importance of bringing in a tenth school as nine wasn’t going to work.

“Nine definitely didn’t work,” Hibbs began. “Of the nine that were in the league were presently looking to leave so it just didn’t really make any sense to stay at

nine because of the crossover situations that we have with volleyball, boy and girls basketball, baseball and softball.” He stressed again for stability purposes, it was that important to bring in a tenth school and noted that Cambridge was similar to Harrison Hills in student enrollment.

Watson added that Edison and Indian Creek are scheduled for updated facilities with new turf and a renovated stadium, as Hibbs added as well. He said the only school from the northern division that won’t have turf is East Liverpool but added that they are in the midst of discussing that.

“The good thing about where we sit in the league, it makes scheduling pretty easy,” Hibbs said while adding that the schools in the southern division won’t disappear from the schedule either.

Help track Ohio’s wild turkey and ruffed grouse populations COLUMBUS, Ohio – Citizen scientists can participate in surveying Ohio’s wild turkey and ruffed grouse populations by reporting sightings in July and August, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.

Every summer, the Division of Wildlife conducts a turkey and grouse brood survey to estimate population growth. The brood survey relies on the public to report observations of all wild turkeys and ruffed grouse seen

during July and August.

Observations can be reported at the wildlife species sighting webpage at wildohio.gov.

Information collected for wild turkeys includes the number of gobblers, hens and young turkeys (poults) observed.

Information collected for ruffed grouse include the number of adults and young observed. The date and the county where the observation occurred are recorded for both species.

This survey is conducted by state wildlife agencies across the

wild turkey’s range, which includes Ohio. Information submitted to Ohio’s brood survey helps to predict future population changes and guide wild turkey management in the state and across the nation. In 2019, the public submitted 436 valid reports with a statewide average of 2.3 poults per hen.

The 10-year average is 2.6 poults per hen. Biologists began tracking summer observations of wild turkeys in 1962. Ruffed grouse were added to the survey in 1999.

Farnsworth awaits more documents

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Murder suspect Samuel Farnsworth appeared via videoconference Tuesday before Harrison County Common Pleas Judge T. Shawn Hervey.

Farnsworth is charged with the murder of Sherry Lynn Shrieve after her body was found alongside Harrison 36 at the beginning of March.

Arrested back in March after a police chase ended in Jackson Township that began in Bellaire, Farnsworth was wanted on an outstanding warrant in Harrison County. On March 13 he pleaded guilty to a probation violation due to a domestic violence charge and is currently serving the remainder of his 185 days he was initially sentenced to.

Tuesday, Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola argued that all items of discovery petitioned last April have been received. But what he wanted to know if there would be any additional discovery items and Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese could not answer. He told the court that they have nearly 500 sets of files and will go back through things but couldn’t say

definitively if there would be additional files for the defense.

“Yes, I believe we’ve given Mr. Pincola everything…” he said but added there is always the possibility of more evidence being handed down from BCI. Pincola also noted that a bill of particulars filed on that same April 15 has yet to be delivered by the state. When Hervey asked if he wanted to compel the state for that information he simply asked the court to set a date in “reasonable time” for both parties.

“We’re going to need some time on it,” Bruzzese said. “First I want to check on the discovery and make sure we have all of that back…” he said regarding submissions to BCI stating it would be difficult to provide an exact timeframe on supplying the bill of particulars.

When Pincola asked if 30 days would be enough Hervey said that does sound reasonable and if the bill of particulars is not provided by then, “I’ll go ahead and make an order with the date served.”

Hervey reset the proceedings for 30 days then they will come back to see if there would be any additional discovery items to supply the defense. He said if

they wait till beginning of August that should be beyond the Supreme Court’s stay order on trial proceedings and he hoped they would then be able to set a trial date.

Also appearing via teleconference was Zachary Scott, charged with unlawful sexual contact with a minor (F4) and disseminating harmful material, a felony of the fifth degree. When the proceedings began Pincola, who was representing him, asked if he had any questions about what was previously talked about, Scott said he did and asked if he could make a counter offer.

Pincola said he would talk to him later about that but reminded him that the offer the state had made was basically it.

He turned to Bruzzese who confirmed that the offer was not going to be changed, though it wasn’t said what exactly was contained in the offer.

Hervey stated that the parties will return to court the following week and if there is no resolution in the case, a trial date will be set if the state’s stay due to COVID19 is lifted. He did tell Scott that he would be acceptable to EOCC for treatment.

In addition to his practice at the Martins Ferry Health Center, Dr. Nepomuceno Dario is seeing patients at HCH. Dr. Dario, an internal medicine specialist, is former Chief of Medicine at East Ohio Regional Hospital. He is a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine.

He’ll take good care of you.
