Cadiz water treatment plant project to begin this fall

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last week it was announced that the Cadiz water treatment plant upgrades would begin this fall and delivery equipment is next up for the water plant project.

Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski held a recent Zoom meeting with Kirk Brothers (KB) and CT Consultants on the upcoming project and stated that October looks to be the time when the project actually begins.

Andrzejewski said KB is now in the process of purchasing the equipment necessary for the job.

“Should be done by next fall, latest end of the year but hopefully by fall,” Andrzejewski told council. After some interaction with the company he told council that they picked the right company for the job.

“Very professional. We asked a lot of questions…they knew exactly what was going on and they told us how many water plants they’ve worked on…

Andrzejewski explained. “So I think the mayor and I felt very, very comfortable after talking to the project manager and everybody else that we did the right thing.”

Another meeting Andrzejewski touched on was with the Ohio Small Communities Environmental

Infrastructure Group (SCEIG). The purpose was for discussing “financing and grants” for the village’s sewer and water line replacement projects.

Andrzejewski told council a good presentation was made for obtaining more grant money, which included Bob Allen of E.L. Robinson and Mayor John Migliore.

“And we of course, let them know that the village of Cadiz is under this tremendous strain with their water and sewer rates and the people can’t take it anymore,” Andrzejewski said to council. He spoke of how Migliore and Allen addressed the people of SCEIG and how the village’s citizens are being pushed with these rates with Allen

providing some numbers.

“We don’t need loans we need grants.

We need free money so we’ll see what happens from all of this,” Andrzejewski continued.

Andrzejewski also touched on the cleaning and sanitizing of Sally Buffalo Park’s showers and bathrooms. He mentioned the $5,000 the village is receiving in COVID-19 funds for that purpose and provided specific amounts for the cleaning services. For city hall he quoted $500 and an additional $125 for the park itself, emphasizing that those amounts are for each time they are cleaned.

Andrzejewski suggested cleaning the government building and the park once

after hiring a cleaning lady is hired. He said they could employ that individual until the $5,000 had been spent.

It was stated that public places had to be cleaned “every two hours.” After stating that the figures given did not include the police department, Migliore asked Andrzejewski if he could find out that cost as well.

Discussion continued on whether the village employees had the time to be cleaning public facilities every two hours on top of their regular duties.

Andrzejewski said after talking with Park Manager Scott Porter, that

Commissioners hear census, election talk and security

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Census talk came around again with Travis Ressler of the Census Bureau informing the Harrison County Commissioners at Wednesday’s meeting that remuneration would begin the following day. He said those Census Bureau employees would be knocking on doors to encourage people to fill out the 2020 census.

Ressler said that in Harrison County, the percentage was a bit behind at 53.7 percent of people self responding. Commissioner Paul Coffland noted that at this time in 2010, the figure was around 60 percent. “…We watch those emails and we’ve got some areas of the county particularly the western side of the county is a low response, so we’ve reached out to who we can, which is tough when you’ve got township trustees aren’t going out and meeting people,” Coffland explaind. “So, hopefully we can get that number up close to seventy percent would be a goal.”

Ressler said that remuneration efforts would continue till the end of October, when asked if those efforts would be extended.

“Continue to remind people that this is the year of the census,” Commissioner Don Bethel emphasized. Coffland and Ressler both stressed how important it is to the villages and townships because the census numbers directly affect the amount of funding a community will receive in the future.

Also, the Eastern Ohio Regional Liaison for the Ohio Secretary of State, Alex Pavlov, who covers 16 counties for Frank LaRose’s office, came to inform the commissioners Wednesday of what his office is doing and wants to do to aid Harrison County. He gave a little background on the responsibilities of the office with one being the state’s chief election’s office and the other is to aid businesses.

“We are a front door for businesses in Ohio,” he told the board. Some examples are starting an LLC or a

Harrison County sees biggest COVID case jump

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last week the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases reached 14 but this week, Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome announced that number had hit 17. Later that afternoon via email Rhome announced another confirmed case-number 18. That makes four new cases in one week, the biggest jump the county has seen since the outbreak.

Rhome said this latest one announced late Wednesday involved a minor who is recovering from home. He also noted an additional case, which was identical to one several weeks ago where the individual lists Harrison County as home but actually lives outside the county and was not counted or

else that would have made it number 19.

It was also noted that Harrison County still remains low compared to the other 87 counties in the state, including its neighbors. As of late Wednesday the United States is showing 4.2 million cases with 147,449 deaths for a fatality rate of 3.4 percent, which continues to drop. And with the CDC’s announcement last month showing a six-site study that undetected cases could actually be at least “10 times higher” that could possibly reverse the fatality ratio to around 0.35 percent, which is only twotenths higher than the seasonal flu.

In a July 21 article from the Health section of Statnews.com, the study was published in JAMA Internal Medicine stating that actual COVID-19 cases could be “six to 24 times higher.” Rhome stated that in Ohio there were around 86,500 reported cases and nearly 3,400 deaths as of Tuesday.

“No real significant change in a downward trend,” he told the board, which appears to be on the same path as two weeks prior when he said Ohio was going in the wrong direction.

He also said the number of patients being admitted to

hospitals with COVID-19 versus patients leaving is also trending upward.

“So there is an upward trend in the number of people currently hospitalized,” Rhome told the board. For the county the number of people being treated is currently at three with just the one death and 13 now recovered. Rhome did say that nationwide there is a slight downward trend, which matches the current numbers provided for the U.S. Rhome did say that traveling to states with high positivity rates (percentage of positive tests versus tests processed) and returning to Ohio, that people self-quarantine for 14 days, but it is not mandated.

“It’s not under public health protocol, we wouldn’t be calling you and help you walk through those symptoms but it’s just a request, it’s an advisory to take care of yourself,” Rhome explained. Board Member Paul Coffland asked about a 10-day quarantine that’s been out there, which Rhome acknowledged.

“There are different provisions for different types of work, different sectors of work,” Rhome said. One example given for a recommended 10-day selfmonitoring is if one is exposed to the virus but is asymptomatic. As far as being positive after a 14-day

Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome explains the COVID-19 movement in a display chart. He told the commissioners at Wednesday’s meeting that Ohio has not improved on its upward trend from two weeks ago. But Harrison County does remain at Level-1, even though the county saw its biggest jump with four new cases reported in one week.

quarantine, Rhome said that person would have to be exposed to an additional person who has the virus.

One example he gave was from the latest Harrison County case calling it “community spread.”

He said that person does not

know anyone who was sick or where they might have caught the disease.

“They encountered somebody in their daily life that accidentally passed it on to them through close contact or, not wearing a mask, shared surfaces,

things like that,” Rhome explained.

Rhome told the board that Harrison County remains at Level-1 or, yellow but said it would not take much to move up if a couple more indicators were exceeded.

CADIZ – Charles Williams, facing three felony charges with one being firing a weapon in the alley just off East Market Street in Cadiz, changed his plea to guilty on Tuesday.

Williams, if convicted in court was facing a possible six years in prison, but after thinking about it in court with Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola at his side, decided to take the state’s offer of 18 months for the one offense with the other two being dropped.

Count one of the indictment stated as having weapons under disability, Tampering with evidence and discharging a weapon following as counts two and three. Judge T. Shawn Hervey told Williams the alleged crimes do not carry a presumption for or against jail time but when noting his criminal history, Hervey stated that Williams would not receive minimum punishment and would also not be eligible for

Community Base Control as well.

Hervey also noted Williams was a high risk for recidivism based on his Ohio Risk Assessment. The total time Williams is looking at if convicted at trial would be six years in prison. After all possibilities Williams was facing he was asked for his decision where he accepted the plea deal. Sentencing is to be scheduled for a later date.

Also, Nicholas McKenzie, 37, of 302 East Street, Bowerston is facing two felony charges of rape in the first degree and third degree gross sexual imposition. The case was filed on July 10 with McKenzie being served the warrant three days later.

McKenzie was appearing via video conference for his arraignment and was not accompanied by an attorney.

When the topic of bond was discussed Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese noted McKenzie was being held on a $100,000 cash bond from lower court. He told the court that not only was a prison term likely but

a conviction as well if the case went to trial. “…Addition to the victim’s testimony and some other corroborating evidence, Mr. McKenzie himself made incriminating statements to the Harrison County Sheriff ’s (Office) department and corroborates much of the allegations…”

Bruzzese explained. He also felt keeping the $100,000 “cash-only” bond is basically in line with a $500,000 bond with 10 percent down.

In his own defense regarding bond and his possible release, he told the court he has not been in trouble before and would show up on time for court.

Hervey acknowledged his lack of criminal history but in light of the severity of the charge, the $100,000 bond was appropriate.

The rape charge carries a possible life sentence with the second count carrying a possible five years.

Joshua Tharp also appeared via video conference and faced a burglary charge with a felony in the second degree attached. Tharp, who is no

stranger to a courtroom is also facing the odd charge of voyeurism, a misdemeanor of the third degree, which carries a possible 45 day sentence. Tharp is facing a possible eight years on the burglary charge if convicted.

Tharp, who stated his address was 125 E. College Street, Scio also appeared without an attorney and if qualified, will be appointed a public defender. When it came to bond Bruzzese told the court, noting the victims were present, that Tharp had been given a $150,000 bond in county court and stated that that was appropriate.

Bruzzese said Tharp was also currently on post release control and Hervey noted earlier if convicted of these charges, he could be sentenced to additional time.

“The facts of this case are alarming, it’s frightening, it’s very creepy and we think that bond and those conditions are certainly appropriate,” Bruzzese explained. Judge Hervey agreed to keep the bond amount in place.

people. He said providing that everything is sanitized to prepare for large groups such as, weddings for example. He said spacing people out will have to be done but preparations for accommodating groups are in the works.

“I’m getting a consensus that lets not open the bathroom and showers,” Andrzejewski said returning to that issue. Migliore suggested some of the council members and employees do some cleaning themselves just to save money but Council

Member Terry Capers said he could see doing it once but then what.

Andrzejewski said they should first go with hired cleaning personnel. Council took no official action and discussion ended for now.

non-profit business with their help.

“I have some good news on that front,” he told the board regarding businesses in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. “…We have not seen a slowdown on business filings.

People are still going out there taking a little risk, starting businesses and this is exciting.”

He added that it wasn’t a perfect measuring stick as an economic indicator but that state business filings are on a pace “similar to last year.”

“It was a record year for business filings in the state of Ohio,” he said referring to the 2019 year. He said they are also encouraging farmers and specifically family farmers to file for LLCs. Commissioner Paul Coffland encouraged Pavlov to get in contact with the county

farm bureau, which he said he was interested in doing.

Regarding elections and what they can do, he noted that any federal funding the state receives is to get it out to the counties as quickly as possible. He said the Help America Vote Act was one project they’ve done over the past two years. His office has also bolstered its cyber security structure, as well as the physical security structure.

Pavlov told the commissioners that his office has appropriated $90,000 to Harrison County dating back to last year, which came to $50,000 in 2019 and the additional $40,000 for election purposes this year.

Pavlov also said his office was encouraging election boards around the state to subscribe to a “service that we’re paying for,” which deals with “malicious domain blocking.”

“There are bad websites out there,” he told the board. “Our foreign adversaries will set up to try and trick us into letting

them infiltrate our system,” Pavlov explained. He said the $15,000 value blocks those domains.

“We’re asking the boards of elections to sign up for that but, depending on how your network is structured this is something you can deploy across the entire county,” Pavlov stated. “So I would strongly encourage you guys to look into that.”

He said $25,000 has been appropriated for the spring election and there would be an additional $25,000 for the November election in the face of this pandemic.

“This is where the rubber meets the road,” he told the commissioners, “the county boards of elections are the building blocks of elections in Ohio and with the eyes of the world on Ohio in November… we want to make sure we can do everything we can to empower you guys to get the job done.”

Job & Family Services wins approval for contract purchase

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Deb Knight of Job & Family Services (J&FS) won approval for the purchase of the Performance of Services Contract between J&FS and Belmont County Board of Developmental Disabilities at Wednesday’s commissioner’s meeting.

The description states, “is for the purchase of the service coordination for children and their families of Harrison County.” Knight explained that the Harrison County Family and Children First Council is a group that was created via the Ohio Revised Code, which she said each county in Ohio has. And within that council here in Harrison County is a Creative Options Committee (with a past name of Cluster) that is composed of J&FS, juvenile

court, Harrison Hills City School District, Harrison County Board of Developmental Disabilities along with a few other local entities.

“The point of that committee is to create a service plan and provide service coordination for multi-need children in the county,” Knight explained adding that these are children “whose needs are beyond the scope of any one agency.”

She said “technically,” many of the county’s children are.

Knight said the Committee is currently involved in coordinating services for 13 children. She said highly qualified service coordinators are provided.

“This contract with Belmont County DD will provide a highly qualified service coordinator who will be shared between the Harrison County Creative Options Committee and the Belmont County Creative

Options Committee,” Knight stated. She said this service coordinator had been a Belmont County case manager for more than 19 years.

The cost is to be divided “bases on the percentage of work that is done in each county.” Knight said as of now Harrison County’s share of the cost amounts to 34 percent of the total cost.

The contract is not to exceed $50,000, which she said “should be more than enough money.” Knight further explained that funding will come from TANF and multi-system youth allocation.

“The goal of this committee is always to keep kids at home, provide services in the home to prevent out of home placement, and to prevent the problems from becoming more severe,” Knight said.

The contract runs from July 29, 2020 through July 30, 2021.

Cadiz discusses water shutoffs

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – As each village takes its turn on what to do and when regarding shutting delinquent water customers off, Cadiz stepped up to the plate and began discussing that issue at last Thursday’s council meeting.

Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski informed council that “a lot of people” have been placed on the payment plan and they are now down to “thirty or forty.” He explained that the plan works where those customers will pay one-third now, one-third on the next bill and repeat that for the next bill after that.

“I think what happened, I think a lot of people thought when they read that we were not going to do shutoffs (due to COVID-19 restrictions) that their bill would be forgiven, and then they got the shock…” Andrzejewksi explained.

“We’re working through it.” He said they would probably end up shutting off upwards of 20 customers where they normally would have 12 to 15 customers in that predicament per month.

Council also returned to the possibility of raising its income tax from 1 percent to 2 percent.

Council Member John Vermillion said the latest they could turn in their resolution in order for it to be placed on the Nov. 3 ballot was Aug. 5. He stated that since their next meeting wasn’t until Aug. 6, council would need to have a special meeting the following week and scheduled it for Thursday July 30 at 5:30 p.m.

Vermillion made the motion for a resolution and ordinance, as an emergency, to be drawn up by Solicitor Costa D. Mastros.

Also, Council Member Dan Ossman stated that the Community Pride award would be handed out again this year. The goal is to encourage residents and businesses to keep up on their properties tidiness.

Vermillion said Hill Street and the end of the alley on Spring Street were being paved and was to be completed the following day.

When it came to the beach not being open Council Member Billy Hyde stated that there were “very minimal calls complaining” regarding it still being closed.

“It’s not ready to be open…and for five weeks I don’t think there’s no use of opening the beach,” he told council. He and Council

Member Terry Capers agreed that groups of people gathering would not be in their best interest.

“Safety all the way around I think,” Hyde said.

And finally, a resolution authorizing Andrzejewski and Mayor Migliore to “apply for, accept, and enter into a water pollution control loan funds (WPCLF) agreement.” This is for

the construction of the village’s wastewater facilities and “designating a dedicated repayment source for the loan.”

When Vermillion asked why this was a resolution instead of an ordinance, Mastros explained that WPCLF doesn’t require an ordinance for this.

“We just follow what they say,” he told council.

Tunnel close to State Route 8 (from which photo was taken) will be about seven feet in diameter of poured concrete. Water will run over steps, shown in excavation. Two water mains through tunnel, for use in case of future industrial development, shown in photo. Cadiz Republican 8-23-1934: The dam proposed on Brushy Fork will be a monument to the Clendening family name, erected at a cost of three-quarters of a million dollars. It is the only dam in the Muskingum District so named. The old Clendening post office was located in the home of Ebenezer Clendening, near the house of his two brothers Israel and John, uncles of County Treasurer James Clendening. The dam was completed 11-11-1937 at a cost of $1,413,179.

Good News

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

Believing God’s Promises Believing God’s Promises There are hundreds of promises in the Bible, promises for the benefit of believer and nonbeliever alike. These promises are not just an information dump, they are sacred words straight from the mouth of God. They literally give us life and spirit if we “abide” in them. When we feel drained or depressed there is a very good chance we’re not focusing on God’s promises. In order to navigate through this life, we must “eat, drink and sleep” His promises.

That means we make them a part of our 24/7 life, not just Sunday morning.

Here are just a few of the promises from Jesus that we hold on to throughout our life: 1) “Whoever obeys my Word will never see death”. That’s a bold promise that every believer can count on. Yes, our physical body will die, but we have a promise that our spirit has an eternal home with him in heaven.

If God never answered a single prayer in our entire lifetime, that promise alone would be enough to get us through the struggles of our time on earth.

2) “You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free”. The first chapter of John’s gospel says that Jesus is Truth with a capital T, that is, Truth personified, and that Truth will set you free. Free from what? Free from spending a lifetime of searching for every false way of finding God, free from fear that you can never please God and free from the fear of death. Just to name a few.

3) God will make his home in us.

Jesus said in that rich chapter of John 14, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” Think about that, the creator of the universe personally invests a down payment of his Holy Spirit in everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah.

Mind boggling. Now get a load of this one…

4) “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.” Dwell on that and you’ll never be depressed again. At Jesus’ baptism and at the Mount of Transfiguration God said, “This is beloved son”. The feelings the Father has for the Son, the Son has the same for us. Wow! 5) “All these things will be given to you” We have a promise that we don’t need to stress and be anxious because all of our needs are met.

“Your heavenly Father knows what you need, but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

There are many more of these great promises from God’s Word.

We should all make a daily habit of getting into His Word and making personal discoveries of everything the Lord has for us. The old hymn writer said it well, “When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, by the living Word of God I shall prevail, standing on the promises of God! PastorKenStaley@gmail.com

Around the County

From the Harrison County Visitor's Center

Welcome to August! We were hoping when this COVID- 19 started that by June our lives would be returning to somewhat normal; well that was short lived as the uptick in the state and the county has us once again concerned what may take place. Many have had a less hectic schedule this summer with vacations, activities and events being cancelled, and have enjoyed time spent at home with family. The one question on people's mind is “Will the kids be back in school this year?”

and “if so, what will that be like?” So, the best thing we can do is just try to keep ourselves safe and healthy and get through this together.

While many of the summer events in the county have been canceled so far, the Cancer Crusaders are holding their annual event at Sally Buffalo Park August 1st. They have a day of activities planned starting with a carry-out breakfast, kids dash and 5k, craft and vendor show, blood drive, motorcycle benefit ride, car cruise in, music

by DJ Ronnie B and food by the HC Band Boosters, 2 Guys & a Grill and Cadiz American Legion Post 34 Auxiliary. The funds raised from the event helps those in the county with expenses due to cancer treatment.

There are annual events that take place each fall here in the county; some are still planned, and some have decided to not go forward so it is best to check on those before attending.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and let’s keep washing our hands and social distancing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Harrison County Military Support Group met on July 21st. We had a very good turnout and mailed to 6 members of our military. It amazes me the amount of items we get and the monetary donations as well.

I will try to list as many as I can. I am sure I have forgotten someone and I do not mean to.

Sometimes these old minds don't work like they used to!

Monetary, snacks and cookies donated by: Wayne & Jayne McCaslin,

Ada Clark, Carla Thompson, Betty & Myron Fledderus, Edie & Charles Strean, Robin Miles, Sarah Snyder, Robin Yoka, Mark & Brenda Wallace, Nancy & Larry Pulka, Tami Carter,"The Meadows" residents, Jim & Lona Chaney.

Without our community we would not be able to do what we are doing. We all have a connection and love for our military and if we can make them feel a little bit of "home" in our packages then we have accomplished our mission.

We say a sincere "Thank You" to anyone whom has helped in any way with our mission. As I said, without the support of our communities, this would not be possible. Thank you so very much. Don't forget us, we will be asking for your support once again in October for our Halloween/Thanksgiving boxes.

Sincerely, Nancy Pulka Harrison County Support Group

SMITHFIELD

BY ESTHER MCCOY Have you heard the words about a child putting a different light on a bad situation? Well not those exact words but you know what I mean. I was telling my grandniece, Lucy who is 3-years old, that I was sad because a tiny bird who came hopping down to your patio each day and checked the dog dish to see if anything was left there that she could enjoy, besides her diet of worms and bugs. Lamont and I named her ”Tweety” because she would take a little hop and let out a cute little tweet. We came to look for her each day but haven’t seen her for more than three days.

I am afraid that something happened to her and mentioned it to Lucy. She looked at me quite seriously and said, “Aunt Esther, you could name another bird Tweety”. Such consoling words from a little one.

Regarding that bird consoling incident, it took place at a small birthday tea we planned for Dorothy Toth, my sister and Lucy and Nola’s grandmother. Just the four of us but we dressed up, Lamont and I decorated the kitchen somewhat and I prepared things I knew that my Sis would like, not the girls though. Nola ate cheese and Chex mix and Lucy ate a kids meal that her grandpa Andy brought back from Steubenville.

We bowed our heads and I said a prayer thanking God for giving me such a wonderful sister and good person. After the tiny sandwiches, vegetable bars and broccoli salad was removed the Toth girls tucked into a strawberry truffle for special occasions. They gave Grandma birthday cards made at our house and little presents. Then came the most exciting part for them. Since

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | CORRESPONDENCE some games are difficult for children I would deal out a deck of cards and they turned them face up. Then I held in my hand, anther deck of cards and as I turned one up the recipient of that card turned it down. The one first turning down all cards would get a prize. I couldn’t believe that Lucy was starting to recognize a 2 of spades from a 2 of clubs and so on.

They also liked picking a little prize from a basked when they lost all their cards first. Lucy got a drooping lip when her sister won twice before she did but it worked out well and there were no fights.

She went home and told her grandfather that she was playing cards. I hope if she tells the neighbors that they understand that it was just a fun game.

Not much is happening in our township or with groups I usually cover. I am just fighting the heat.

We have a thermostat problem in our house. Since Lamont had air conditioning until we got married and I insisted on it, he is well acquainted with extreme heat.

Therefore, the thermostat gets a regal work out. I turn it on, he turns it way down. I go back and turn it up and so forth. The numbers are getting worn out on the dial from all the twisting and turning to adjust the weather inside our home.

As I said, not much is going on now. Hope you are battling the heat better than at our house. And just think, August will be here on Aug. 1.

SCIO

By Ina Marks The Dining Fork Ruritans held their BBQ chicken dinner at the firehall, carry out only. They had a very good turnout and they thank everyone for their support. We’re lucky to still have the Ruritans as so many clubs have folded. So sad everything is changing.

Look at the past interesting for me because looking back at the Tappan Lake my father Alva Johnson and uncle Fred Johnson helped to build it.

There was a Memorial Service celebrating Freda (Byers) Pack and her husband James Pack’s life at the Scio Presbyterian Church. Freda passed July 28, 2019 and James passed Sept. 18, 2019. It was well attended with family and friends and the Legion honored them for their time in the services. May both of you RIP. The Perrysville and Pleasant Hill UMC held their great meal, always on last Wednesday of the month.

Carry out only. Thanks for the support.

JEWETT/CADIZ

By Ruby Foutz We have been receiving some rain but even with the rain it can still be muggy and temperatures stays in the 90s. The weather makes it difficult to get anything done outside. Speaking of the weather and working outside, we (Merle & I) really appreciate Mr. Gutter, Bill Marks for putting a roof on our house and barn. This was done in the 90-degree heat each day they were working. So thank you Bill and Ronnie. Great job.

Wednesday, July 29, was the deadline to pay your property taxes. I hope you didn't forget.

How wonderful to see the Harrison County Home receive donated ham from the Harrison County Democratic Central Committee. The hog was sold to the top bidder at the Harrison County Fair. Thank you to all that made this possible and I am sure it's appreciated.

The deadline to register to vote for the Presidential Election is October 5. For more information you can log in to the Board of Elections website: www.boe.ohio.gov/harrison, call the board at 740-942-8866 or stop by the office at the government building 538 N. Main St. Suite B, Cadiz (same building as the BMV). The BOE has not been at the courthouse for over 8 years.

It's time to have an easy, tasty salad that will not heat up the kitchen. Try my Black Bean Salsa - all you need is one can (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed; 1one can (15.25 oz.) whole corn, drained and rinsed; two medium tomatoes, diced; one red & one green bell pepper, diced; 1/2 c. diced red onion; one can (4 oz.) chopped green chiles, drained; 1/4 c. lime juice; 1/2 teasp. salt; 1/2 teasp. ground cumin; 1/2 teasp.

cayenne pepper; 1/3 c. olive oil; 1/3 c. red-wine vinegar; dash of hot sauce. In a bowl, combine beans, corn, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and chiles. In another bowl or jar with a lid, mix lime juice, salt, cumin, cayenne, olive oil, vinegar, and hot sauce. Add to bean mixture. Stir, cover, and let sit in refrigerator overnight before serving. I also add chopped cilantro or green onions to mine, whatever your taste desires. Serve with tortilla chips. Makes 8 to 10 servings. Can be eaten as an appetizer, too. This is one of my favorites to take to a picnic or any type of gathering. If you like beans, you will love it. Stay cool and healthy.

Congratulations to Pastor Dave Koch of Freeport upon his retirement after 21 years as pastor.

God bless you.

Happy Birthday and many more to Sandy McCracken, Carol Morrison, Debbie Deloach, Fran Minnick Drake, Rev. Ashley Steele, Ann Williams Keesey, Meris Adams, and our dear friend Butch Patterson.

Happy August Anniversary and best wishes to Ray & Patty Gross, Dan & Susan Walton, and Terry & Carol Thompson.

Prayers and deepest sympathy to the following families: Helen Straight 88 Harrisville; Bernard M. Rapavi 77 Adena; Janet T. Lachendro McConigal 85, formerly of Cadiz; our dear friend, John Paul Sticht 78 Cadiz (we referred to him as the Bison Man because he had the Bison Ranch).

He was a great person and will be missed by many. We will miss his smile and friendship; our dear friend, Ethel "Bernadine" (Cross) Satterfield 86 Bowerston. She was known to most as Bernadine. She was the sweetest person, always had a smile and would help everyone she could. She was super and will be missed by many. RIP Bernadine.

Just a short prayer to console the heart at this time (COVID-19): Dear Lord, Help me to live this day quietly, easily: To Lean upon Thy great strength trustfully, restfully: To wait for the unfolding of Thy Will patiently, serenely: To meet others peacefully, joyously: To face tomorrow confidently, courageously. Amen.

God bless you all, Pastor Ruby Foutz, 740-946-2925. Leave a message if no answer.

Deersville Community Theater receives grant Tappan renovations moving forward, DEERSVILLE — According to Marsha Dodds, president of the Deersville Community Theatre (DCT), the theater group has been awarded a fiscal year 2021 grant through the Ohio Arts Council. The matching fund award, in the amount of $2500, will be used to offset expenses for a 2021 musical production. “This award is much needed and will help us pay for copyright fees, costume expenses and other

programming expenses,” Marsha Dodds, president of DCT noted. “We would like to thank Governor Mike Dewine and Ohio’s General Assembly for acknowledging the importance of public funding to the arts through the state budget, even during these trying fiscal times”. ArtStart Grants are available to non-profit art organizations within each of Ohio’s 88 counties and are selective based on application

score, number of approved applicants and the budget granted to the OAC. A similar amount was awarded to the DCT in 2020 and unfortunately, went unused after activities at the theater were cancelled because of health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The OAC, recognizing that many organizations like the DCT would incur financial hardships, worked diligently to

ensure the best way groups served by them could utilize the financial awards and ultimately allowed the funds to be used for expenses such as rent, insurance and utilities.

“We are grateful to the state of Ohio and for the OAC’s leadership and funding. We sincerely appreciate the support given to our small community theater and look forward to performing again in 2021”, concluded Dodds.

loses a year of beach concessions

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Last week the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) held their July meeting via videoconference once again.

Chief Engineer Boris Slogar provided some long awaited good news concerning the Tappan Marina renovations.

Bid attempts had failed twice when they came in greater than the 10 percent needed to award. But last month it was announced that all six bids on the third try were awardable.

“I think long fought battle is a very nice way of addressing this one,” Slogar said in reference to Executive Director Craig Butler’s words leading into the announcement. “This has been an interesting run for us trying to get this project set and indeed, this time around we did make some minor adjustments,” Slogar explained thanking his engineering team for all the hard work put in.

He said the last bid was for a little more than $4.6 million and noted the amount of awardable bids they received. And last week Slogar announced after reminding the board that the low bid from Robertson’s Construction was not awardable because of several errors in that bid.

Even though it was reported last month that the Knock Corporation was the winner with the second lowest bid at $4.3 million-plus, last week was the first meeting where it was formally announced in public.

“So we’re ready to move,” Slogar told the board. He added that this was also the

day Knock was having their pre-construction meeting on top of authorizing them to proceed with the project.

Butler noted that the “change” in the 4.3 million was important because the top two bids were “very close.”

Board Member Gordon Maupin also congratulated the engineering department and the board followed with its approval.

“I know the people in Harrison County are going to be glad to get it out there too and our CDC people from Tappan Lake look forward to,” Board Member Robert Morehead stated.

Also, the MWCD announced that the agreement for Tappan beach concessions would need an addendum approved.

Back in 2019 the board asked and received approval from the Tappan Activity Center for an agreement (through 2021) for beach concessions but the operator decided to back out because of the COVID-19 situation.

“The operator decided not to because of COVID [to] operate this year so that the lease attachment reflects the concessionaire is not operating for the twentytwenty season but will continue into twenty-twentyone,” Executive Director Craig Butler explained. The board approved the addendum without any further discussion.

Another addendum involved the Seneca Marina lease. Butler explained that Ohio Valley Boats, which have been providing trailer service, motor sales and storage was only asking for an alternate location due to ongoing construction. The board approved the addendum.

Edison Local crafts plan to reopen schools HAMMONDSVILLE Edison Local Schools crafted a plan for reopening schools in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and hopes are to have kids back in class in August.

The school board met July 23 to approve the plan, which follows guidelines based upon coronavirus risk levels.

Superintendent Bill Beattie said officials are eyeing an Aug. 31 start date for upperclassmen with preschool and kindergarten students to begin Sept. 2.

School districts currently follow their county health departments’ color levels of yellow, orange, red and purple to signify risks with yellow being lowest and purple the highest.

School officials said all plans are subject to change based on evolving conditions, data about the status of the pandemic and recommendations and guidance from public health authorities.

“It’s based on the four-color system,” said Beattie. “It is reviewed weekly and released every Thursday afternoon. If

there is a change in risk levels we will adjust accordingly.”

The reopening plan involves face-to-face instruction in the buildings all week at the yellow and orange levels with students and staff to follow safety protocols. At the third (red) level, the district will implement hybrid learning, where two groups of students will alternate two days a week. One group attends Monday and Thursday and another on Tuesday and Friday with Wednesday as an independent learning day for all pupils. Should the area reach the purple stage, students will complete online learning at home.

In-school protocols include health assessments with temperature and symptom checks; social distancing of three to six feet depending on risk level; and face coverings over the nose, mouth and chin. Students from grades K-12 must wear masks on buses, in the hallways and in classrooms with mask breaks by teacher direction and

any health appeals for face coverings must be made in writing by a student’s primary care physician to district nurses starting Aug. 24. The district nurses will work with the local health department and face shields and other measures may be approved through the process. Parents are to take temperatures at home and students and staff will not be permitted to attend if they above 100.4 degrees, plus they cannot return for 24 hours until they are fever free.

A school nurse will be housed at Stanton and John Gregg Elementary and Edison High School with transportation protocols also put in place on buses. Some options may include temperature scans as students board the bus or enter school buildings; placing two students per seat, and in some instances, three students if the children are younger and siblings attending the same building seated together, if possible; and the use of face

masks for drivers and students if social distancing is difficult. If a student refuses to wear a mask, the district may refuse to transport them. Buses will be sanitized and cleaned between runs and buildings will also be cleaned regularly in highly trafficked areas and classrooms with deep cleaning performed each evening. Other plans include one-way hallway traffic when possible; grab-and-go breakfast meals with lunch being expanded to other areas of the buildings; and promoting good hygiene practices with hand sanitizer machines available for frequent use.

Teachers will also travel between classrooms instead of students and there will be no lockers, shared supplies or permitted visitors or volunteers, plus field trips are canceled and student attendance will be taken daily.

In the event of hybrid learning, many of the protocols mirror the face-to-face plan with the addition of adjusting special education services and

attendance being taken in class and by log-in or check-ins when home learning. Should schools move to the remote learning phase, teachers will have additional time for small group work, intervention and student and parent communication; grades will count and school counselors will work with students in College Credit Plus classes. Individual family issues will be handled at the building with school counselors and special education services will be adjusted.

Breakfast and lunch will be delivered to designated sites five days a week and student log-ins and/or check-ins and check-outs will be used to take attendance.

Leaders want to ensure that students are equipped to learn both at school and at home by providing 1-to-1 devices for grades PreK-12 and a district curriculum, while Google Classroom and Google Meet programs will be enacted for all educational options. Teachers will be available for parent meetings and office hours and

the grading system will return to the traditional policy followed prior to the school closure in March. ECAT, Edison’s virtual online school, is also offered weekdays and applications are available at edisonwildcats.org.

It is a self-placed, independent learning platform and is supported and monitored by Edison Local teachers.

Officials said the district or an individual building may be directed to close down by the Jefferson County Health Department or school may shift to a remote learning option if teacher and staff COVID-19 absenteeism outpaces available substitutes. Risk levels are released every Thursday at 2 p.m., and if the risk level changes from orange to red or red to purple or also deescalates, the district will be expected to change educational options the following Monday.

“We have plans in place and it is our goal to implement them using the health guidelines to ensure the safety of every staff member and student,” Beattie concluded.

Minimal damage reported in Jewett fire A fire inside a Jewett home Wednesday could have been worse, according to fire officials on site in the 200-block area.

Neighbors said the home, which was only purchased around a month ago, belonged to a young couple. Fire was seen spurting out of a bedroom window in the back of the

house and according to one official; if it wasn’t for the bedroom door being closed the fire could have been much worse.

Response was massive, which included units from Hopedale, Scio, Jewett and Cadiz.

Hopedale Fire Chief Mark Marchetta credited Jewett’s

quick response in extinguishing the fire and keeping it to a minimum. There were no reported injuries.

A neighbor went to the back door to help and after it was opened a family pet came running out. The cause of the fire is undetermined and is still under investigation.

Our compassionate and dedicated staff ensures that our residents receive the highest quality of care in a warm, friendly environment designed not only to preserve quality of life, but to enhance it.
