County to share $31 million windfall from power plant SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 2018

CADIZ – A press conference was held on the grounds of the Harrison Hills Board of Education’s (HHBOE) Westgate facility Tuesday evening to announce the coming of the Harrison Power plant, making it as official as it could be, for now. e occasion wasn’t so much to make the Harrison Power (HP) plant’s move to Harrison County completely official yet, as it was to reveal the long-awaited financial numbers each entity within Harrison County would be receiving from the

gas-fired plant.

Chris Schmenk, attorney for Bricker & Eckler, representing HP, said there was still a few loose ends to tie up before the move was 100 percent official but it’s closer than it’s ever been.

Cadiz Mayor Ken Zitko and council member omas Crawshaw, Harrison County CIC President Dale Arbaugh, Harrison County Commissioners Dale Norris, Paul Coffland and Don Bethel, as well as HHBOE President Deb Kenny and Superintendent, Dana Snider and other board members were among the officials present, though it didn’t appear that anyone from the public chose to attend.

According to the numbers provided, the village, the school district and the county will share $31 million for the next 15 years. After that the normal tax rate kicks in that HP will be paying.

For the first two years, though, “payments are to be $2.5 million in each of the first two years, and then $2 million each in the third through 15th years.”

“Construction of the plant is to begin this fall, and become operational in 2021. Under that schedule, payments would also begin in 2021,” according to information provided by Schmenk.

Out of that $31 million, 45 percent, or nearly $14 million, will be received

Gone Fishin’

by Harrison Hills City School District, “which by law, agreed to the tax abatement.” e remainder of the money, 44 percent (over $13 million) “will be divided among all of the villages and townships in Harrison County.”

Local officials expressed excitement over the hundreds of employees, though temporary it may be during construction, the business to flood the hotels and motels, eateries and so forth. “e remaining 11 percent of the payment will go to the county, in part to help support further economic and community development activities,” the prepared statement read. Schmenk

noted the cooperation that took place between the various county entities and the efforts to make this happen.

Coffland thanked several individuals some he said would “prefer to remain anonymous and we’ll leave it at that.”

But he also commended several individuals among the county CIC level that put in “tremendous amount of time on this project.” “ere’s just a number of things that had to be done in order to meet the requirements for this plant and tonight we’re thrilled to announce we’re there,” Coffland said while handing out a large

Scio Legion holds annual kids fishing contest

e Scio American Legion Post 482 held their 37th annual kids fishing contest on July 27 at the Scio Legion pond. e legion said they had a record 120 entries and fed everyone with hamburgers, hot dogs, pop and popsicles. is contest is sponsored at no cost to the local children, and the legion provides each child with a new pole, special tee shirt, bait, and 14 new bicycles, which are given out via drawings to boys and girls in seven different age groups from 4 and under to 15 years old.

Six years ago the legion joined forces with the Scio Sportsman's Club to provide a much better organization and share the expense incurred with this event.

Parents are allowed to cast the lines but the kids have to catch them and reel them in, then take to one of many check-in stations around the pond.

Trophies are given for each age group with the most "inches" of fish caught in a 2-hour period and one for 1st fish caught and the largest one caught.

Many thanks to the numerous people who made donations to this great event.

CADIZ – Last ursday with approximately two dozen residents, representatives from the Ohio EPA and Rosebud Mining Company, a public hearing was held at the ODNR Mine Safety Training Center on Industrial Park Road in Cadiz. e subject dealt with a permit request by Rosebud for a wastewater treatment plant near the U.S. 250 Speedway. From the mine that will be created there, treated water would eventually make its way into Tappan Lake, which is where the village of Cadiz gets its water source from. "e wastewater treatment plant would discharge to Standingstone Fork, which feeds into Tappan Lake," according to an EPA prepared statement. It was noted that no one from the village of Cadiz was present nor any media as only one outlet was notified, though Cadiz did have a regular council meeting scheduled for that evening as well. According to

information provided at the meeting the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD), Cadiz and Rosebud Mining “are going to partner together to reduce nutrients and pollutants being discharged into the lake.”

When asked, officials from MWCD replied via email, “Currently MWCD is continuing to gather information and available details for this permit application.

We also plan to continue to monitor the progress of the permit(s) as the application works its way through the proper regulatory authorities, which I believe the article references could take a considerable amount of time.”

When contacted later, Cadiz Village Administrator Charley Bowman stated that the permit is through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), as is stated in a pamphlet handed out at the meeting. Bowman stated on a scale of 10 his level of

Sheriff’s deputies, dispatcher, recognized for life-saving action

HARRISON COUNTY – On the night of June 12, around 1 a.m., Rachel Sower’s 1-year old daughter Kennedy began having a seizure due to an extremely high fever, as she was on route to the hospital after conferring with medical personnel. Once she saw her daughter’s condition she pulled over and called 911 while stopped at Ohio 9 and Upper Clearfork Road.

After the call went through dispatch, Jen Bethel stayed with Rachel the entire time until help could arrive but backup EMS service, the Harrison Community Hospital (HCH) was already on another call and could not respond and no one

else did either. e ones who did were Sgt. omas Smith and Deputy Jason Saylor of the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, who found Rachel standing next to her vehicle holding her daughter.

Once the deputies saw the condition Kennedy was in Smith told her they had to get her into his car and get out of there. Without waiting any longer, Smith and Saylor sped off to HCH where Kennedy received the much-needed treatment. Smith stated that while on scene he observed Kennedy’s lips turning blue and she was also unresponsive with a temperature of 104 as the result of a bacterial infection.

Smith said he was informed by medical personnel that if

another 10 minutes had passed the consequences would have been “irreversible” for little Kennedy.

“I’m just thankful they showed up,” Rachel said of the deputies adding that standing along a roadway at night in that situation is not something you want to do. She said she was only waiting approximately five minutes though, as Smith and Saylor reached her rather quickly.

Kennedy later received further treatment at Akron Children’s Hospital and she is now healthy and back to normal.

For their efforts, Sgt. Smith and Deputy Saylor received a life-saving ribbon and a certificate while Bethel was awarded a certificate of merit as well as a ribbon of merit.

Sgt. Thomas Smith (left), Jen Bethel (dispatch) and Deputy Jason Saylor, all of the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office were honored with ribbons and certificates Wednesday for their quick work and decision making back in June. Rachel Sowers’ daughter, Kennedy was experiencing a seizure in the car along Ohio 9 at 1 a.m., and with no ambulance arriving Smith and Saylor rushed her to Harrison Community Hospital in the nick of time. Kennedy has since fully recovered.

CADIZ – e Harrison Power (HP) plant, which the county has been anticipating for several years now is just about wrapped up. Wednesday, on the heels of a press conference held Tuesday evening involving officials from the village, county, school and attorneys for HP releasing numbers and officially announcing the coming of the plant, the Harrison County Commissioners finalized details on their end with two approvals: e Enterprise Zone agreement (32-18) and the PILOT program (33-18) with Commissioner Dale Norris’s motions approved for both. e Enterprise Zone was a lengthy 20-plus page document with Norris summarizing the details. Commissioner Don Bethel then explained what was involved and touted the deal the county was getting in light of some negativity that’s been voiced over the past several months. at negative tone was because of HP’s receiving a 15year tax abatement from the county but that doesn’t mean they are coming in for free. Far from it. e first two years will bring in $2.5 million then $2 million for the next 13 years, which are just some of the numbers released at Tuesday’s press conference at the Harrison Hills Board of Education offices. “is was so easy for the county to do…” Bethel began explaining stating that since the

¢

property involved was under a TIF (Tax Increment Financing) rule, the village of Cadiz and the Harrison Hills school board (HHBOE) would have to agree to a certain percentage less than they’d normally receive, which they did.

“So, it’s basically a 100 percent division of increase in taxes between the village and the school,” Bethel said. “e county wouldn’t have received any of that tax money. It was easy for us [but] it was difficult for the school and the village to give this up because they’re the ones that agreed to this enterprise zone…”

Bethel said they eventually agreed to 45 percent for the school and 15 percent for the village “and the rest of that money is what we are dividing among the townships and the villages of the rest of the county,” which comes to 40 percent, or $1 million out of 2.5 percent. According to those numbers that figure drops to $800,000 after the first two years.

He said the land value today of the area HP is to build on is much more valuable than five years ago and would only increase greatly in the future.

“Today, that land is more valuable and tomorrow when they start building, it’s just going to explode in value and the village and the school are the ones that would have benefitted from that for the next 15 years,” Bethel said. After 15 years the normal rate of taxes kick in.

“I would like to commend both those two entities (Cadiz and HHBOE) again for seeing their way…” he said adding that Cadiz, though agreeing to 15 percent is receiving “some other advantages in terms of improvements to the water plant up to seven figures, they’re getting the wage taxes, they’re getting other benefits…” One of those benefits include new water pumps to the plant that will aid in servicing the HP for the extra water being pumped, which is being paid for by Harrison Power. e PILOT program, which is an acronym for Payment In Lieu Of Taxes, was explained by Commissioner Paul Coffland as a $31 million payment plan in exchange for the plant paying the normal tax rate.

He said the county would be developing “some community development programs and possible ways to help every… village and township in the county with various projects.”

“Every village and township will also receive a portion of those funds,” Coffland said.

“We believe this is the first time it’s ever been done in the state through this kind of a program and we also believe that this is the best PILOT that is ever been negotiated.” He thanked the county CIC for bringing the agreement to the commissioners, as well as Chris Schmenk at Bricker and Eckler law firm who represented HP.

Commissioners finalize their end of power plant deal

Saturday, August 4, 2018

CADIZ – Wednesday, Executive Director of the Mental Health Recovery Board of Belmont, Harrison and Monroe Counties, Jane Devney appeared at the Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting and opened by announcing a three-pronged coalition with mental health services, the Department of Jobs & Family Services (DJFS) and the court system coming together to fight the effects of opioid addiction. e aim is to “reduce the amount of trauma and emotional impact on children and families from their mom’s and dad’s opiate use…[and] reduce the cost of the county for out of home placement for children,” Devney explained. e name for this new formation is called Dependency Court evolving from Crossroads, the court system, Mental Health and Recovery and DJFS. Harrison County Juvenile Court Judge Matthew Puskarich thanked Devney and her board for obtaining the grant to make this move possible. He also said there was no cost to Harrison County and would be a “long term program” and not some one-year program only to disappear.

“So, my excitement on this is getting kids home quicker and working with DJFS and mental health and the counseling so kids are not in foster placement as long as they currently are,”

Puskarich said. He added they are looking to be statewide certified by a year’s time and have supreme court certification in 2019.

He said this would give them more options than what the current laws provide for getting children home quicker.

Hopefully he said that drug and other substance abuse’s impact on children and families not to mention the toll on the financial side of things could be alleviated.

Puskarich said they were working on the title for the person in charge, which could include court navigator or parent navigator as some names he offered for now.

“We’ll be working with the families day in and day out doing supervised parenting…” he said, which is aimed at relieving the load on DJFS leading to less cost and again stressed the importance of getting these kids home to their parents or grandparents sooner than what is happening now.

He also thanked Belmont County as they currently have the program in place and saw the benefits close up. He also thanked DJFS and Crossroads, as Executive Director Shannon Watson was at his side as well.

“We’re really excited to partner with the county and the different agencies,” Watson told the board. “We[‘ve] already seen a lot of the clients for treatment here in Harrison County. What we’re really excited about is now we’re going to have a more formal system to help people and to help our clients kind of

Get The News Herald A Day Early for your tablet, PC or phone

navigate that whole court process that can be overwhelming and complex… so we’re really excited that we kind of can formalize a system to kind of wrap our services around these not only the clients that are in our program but the children as well.” Deb Knight of DJFS was also on hand and shared Watson’s sentiments and was excited to see this come to fruition.

Puskarich told the board that this type of program has been around “for a number of years” but the concern was could it be done with a county of Harrison’s size. He said after conferring with other judges on top of the funding that came through he was convinced to give this a go and fight the epidemic of opioid addiction, as well as other substance abuse and alcohol addiction.

He said this new “parent coordinator” was going to help rebuild lives by removing certain roadblocks and all the mundane logistics involved and to help with the bounty of questions after having a child removed from the home when someone comes in for help.

“So this is a truly wrap around system, I’m very excited to partner with these other three groups and just wanted to share that with this board,” Puskarich explained.

Commissioner Paul Coffland said it was “refreshing to see government working together.

Isn’t this what we’re supposed to do serving the public and working together? So, I applaud you for that.”

CONCERNED From PG | 1

concern was around four to five but acknowledged it was still early and more information was needed.

“At this point I don’t have enough information to say I’m alarmed but at the same time I don’t have enough information to say I’m not alarmed,” Bowman explained.

Several residents had questions with a few more expressing their concerns via email regarding Tappan Lake as the recipient for Rosebud’s water discharge.

One resident, Tenley Telfer, describing herself as a lifelong resident, and also one who lives near the proposed treatment plant, was at the meeting and said many of the people present were the result of her phone calls. Otherwise, she said many would not have known about the meeting. “e most disturbing part of this is that Tappan Lake is the water source for Cadiz residents, businesses, and potentially our new school. e mine is asking for permits to construct ponds onsite and a wastewater plant along Standingstone Fork stream which runs parallel to Route 250. As you may be aware, this stream floods very often and now the proposal is to raise the topography at the mine site in essence blocking the waters behind it,” she said via

WINDFALL

email. “I am extremely concerned for the water situation and feel the residents of Cadiz need to be informed of the potential contamination of the source of their drinking waters.”

Another resident, John Welsh, voiced similar concerns regarding mine waste and how Tappan Lake would be protected against acidic runoff. “e presentation addressed only treatment and monitoring, but did NOT [sic] address how Tappan Lake will be protected from accidental uncontrolled waste discharges,” Welsh stated while adding that flooding was a concern of his as was Telfer’s.

According to an EPA “citizen advisory” the statement includes a warning that “current water quality” could result in change “but only to the extent that would protect the existing biology and not violate Ohio’s water quality standards that protect human health and the environment.”

Executive Vice President for Rosebud Mining Jim Barker, who was not present at the meeting, later stated that at first he didn’t have a comment on the subject. He called it “standard” in filing for the permit. Regarding a timeline for the 250 project he said it was more of a market thing than just receiving a permit and begin operations.

“You know the markets are still not very good,” Barker said

regarding steam coal, “you gotta plan for the future hopefully things turn around and so forth but there’s no definitive plans in the future because the steam coal market is still pretty tough out there.” Barker also added that this doesn’t mean something could not change in the near future but for all intents and purposes this wasn’t going to be a quick procedure once requirements are met.

“I mean it takes us multiple years to get a permit, usually about three to four years…and sometimes when you start that process and eventually get one the markets are good, and sometimes they aren’t. And right now they aren’t,” Barker explained.

Anthony Chenault, media relations coordinator for Ohio EPA said it might not necessarily take several years for the permit but it was possible depending on certain criteria.

“Once the applications are complete, Ohio EPA has up to 180 days to consider the wastewater discharge permit and Permit to Install. e applications and all public comments are considered before a determination is finalized on the applications. A 401 permit is not required because this project does not include plans to place fill material, so wetland and stream areas will not be disturbed to the point of requiring 401 permit coverage,” Chenault stated by email.

thanks to the school district and Cadiz council and their efforts to agree to the deal.

“Again, with it being in the village limits it’s something that they’ll (Cadiz) see some additional benefits with that,” Coffland explained.

Arbaugh spoke briefly on behalf of the HCCIC and thanked the commissioners for allowing them to act as the county’s agent on the project.

“So it’s been a complete team effort across the board with everybody,” he said also thanking the village and school district. “Our whole process was to benefit the county and have a project come in here and benefit the county and I think we’ve

been able to accomplish that.”

Commissioners Bethel and Norris both thanked all involved with Bethel thanking Schmenk for being “instrumental in closing this deal.” Commissioner Norris said how pleased he was that the plant was coming to his county while noting there was a “few more steps to go but we’re another step closer.”

Kenny stressed the ability for kids to have the opportunity to stay in the area and not leave home, which she said was one of her main goals when she first arrived on the job. Snider spoke earlier on behalf of her entire board and noted how grateful everyone was for this deal to come about.

“We feel truly blessed to have this opportunity that was given to the school district,” Snider to the

audience. Mayor Zitko also spoke and was grateful for the deal as Cadiz will benefit with some extra perks including their water plant, which will be paid for by HP as well.

“This will benefit us in many ways,” he began. “The plant will be buying their water from the village and they’ve stepped up and are buying pumps that will be needed for the plant so, it’s going to help Cadiz and also the whole county...”

Zitko also thanked the commissioners, the HCCIC as well as his own council and Village Administrator Charley Bowman then alluded to his coal mining days with a little hint at what the future is bringing.

“I’m still an old coal miner at heart but I know that it’s gas that’s here for right now,” he said.

Twenty-five years ago, a small dedicated group started e Scio Garden Club. In August, they will be honored at the Scio Fall Festival parade. e club has been busy in the ensuing years beautifying the town in the

following ways: yearly planting of the Main Street barrels; Poinsettia sale; Chrysanthemum Sale; Posey’s at the Library; and providing welcome signs at the corporation limits. e club says they especially enjoy hosting the

Scio Garden Club to be honored

By JD LONG

CADIZ – Village Administrator Charley Bowman addressed the uptown “streetscape” proposals after being asked to prepare a “bid/proposal document” for the improvement of the village’s uptown planting areas. He told council at last ursday’s meeting any feedback would be helpful to go along with his draft proposal.

“If we can agree to these items, I can have the proposal advertised next weekend (Aug.4),” Bowman said in his report. After other items were addressed council returned to the issue of streetscape where council member John Vermillion asked if all the bricks in the planters would be replaced with the concern that names were on some of those bricks that were donated years ago. Bowman confirmed that all bricks in all the planters would be taken out.

“Did not some of them bricks

be donated years ago have names engraved in them?”

Vermillion asked. Council member omas Crawshaw suggested saving the ones they could and placing them somewhere else but council could not agree on exactly where all those engraved bricks are.

Bowman said he would include language stating engraved bricks would be saved with other suggestions for them to be incorporated into another project or a new planter.

Also, Crawshaw stated dog stations are being ordered and will be placed uptown. e dog park was also mentioned with the note that location was the big hangup regarding that going forward. Bowman said he wished to meet with Capers and discuss the property issue.

Concerning water main projects their paving schedule was listed as: Tuesday and Wednesday for milling Cherrywood, North Buffalo, Allen, Kerr, Dewey, Stanton and Copes Lane. On ursday — weather permitting — all the

streets above will be paved.

Bowman also reminded council of their $1.025 million grant the village received from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is for the benefit of the south and center sanitary sewer collection system project.

“Being that this is a large project and there will be sanitary sewer rate increases involved, I would like for Council to approve having two public meetings in August,” Bowman stated. He said the meetings would more than likely be held at Sally Buffalo Park on Tuesday, Aug. 28 and Monday, Sept. 10.

He said the time of the meeting is estimated to be at 7 p.m. and it could also be held at the library if the Lodge at Sally Buffalo is not available.

Regarding the regular Microcystins (HAB) water readings, they have all been very good with a steady 0.30 reading for all of June and July. e next scheduled meetings for August are the 9th and the 23rd.

New police SUV discussed at Cadiz meeting

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Towards the latter part of the meeting last ursday, Cadiz Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros raised the issue of a police vehicle scheduled to be purchased next year. He stated that the price would go up next year, as well as “limited availability.” Mastros said spoke with Village he Administrator Charley Bowman and agreed to purchase the vehicle ahead of the planned 2019 purchase because of the stated reasons. e vehicle is an SUV and Police Chief Ryan McCann was present to take on questions. e first came from council member Mike McPeak who asked why the purchase was to be in emergency form instead of the usual three meetings. Bowman said there were availability issues with some being “snapped up” at the dealership and that he was reluctant to wait another six weeks with a little more than a dozen vehicles remaining.

McCann told council that if they are not put on a list by Aug. 25 the village could be “dropped at any time” from that waiting list. He added that the 2018 models are $1,600 cheaper than the 2019 models but it was first come first serve. He said the price rise by $3,000 for the 2020 models.

McCann told council this new vehicle would not replace any of their existing vehicles and would include the ability to tow.

It was established that the money allocated for their next purchase in 2021 would be moved up to now.

“We’ll just keep the rotation going, we’ll just accelerate it to the 19th…” Mastros explained.

Council member John Vermillion expressed his displeasure of purchasing a vehicle just for the

sole purpose of towing, such as the police speed trailer. He was told the ability for towing was only one aspect of the SUV but acknowledged McCann’s claim of nothing being available until 2020, if they don’t purchase ahead of schedule to take advantage of the pricing and availability issues.

“I understand that…I just want to see if we’re going to spend the money to buy an SUV, I want to see it used more than for just pulling a trailer,” Vermillion said.

Council member Terry Capers compared the last vehicle they bought, which was $35,000 to the SUV they’re looking at now for

$38,000 as not much of a difference.

Council member omas Crawshaw remarked that the SUV would not just be sitting in the lot only pulling a trailer around once in a while.

“It’s going to be out on patrol… plus we also got winter and we get three inches of snow we want our cops out there, this thing is going to be out on the road, so you have to think about that as well,” Crawshaw said. He then made the motion to waive the 24-hour notice to “have an ordinance (2018-47) on the agenda,” which was passed.

Princess Pageant added to Sally Buffalo Days festivities Sally Buffalo Park is pleased to announce the addition of a Princess Pageant to be held during Sally Buffalo Days on Sept. 15 and 16. e pageant is geared toward girls aged 6-12 who reside in Harrison County.

It will be held on the stage behind Wallace Lodge on Sept.

15 beginning at 10 a.m. e winner will be crowned as the Festival’s first “Little Miss Sally” and she will reign over the weekend’s festivities. e winning contestant will be treated to a prize package that includes: A salon gift card from Sunkissed Hair and Day Spa, a Custom Sparkle Tumbler from

Jessica Kay Designs, and the Grand Prize of an Apple iPad 32GB. e winner will have the opportunity to represent Sally Buffalo Park by appearing in local parades and other community events throughout the year. All participants will receive Little Miss Sally Pageant t-shirts provided by Kenwood Vinyl.

Girls will be scored on Poise, Confidence and Talent and will be asked to introduce themselves to a panel of judges and speak on a topic they draw in advance. Each girl will be asked to present a talent for review which can be dancing,

singing, playing an instrument, magic, acrobats etc. Organizers for Sally Buffalo Days feel the addition of the Princess Pageant is an excellent opportunity for young girls to showcase their special talents and abilities while representing the community as positive role models.

All girls interested and a parent representative must attend an informational meeting on Aug.15 at 6 p.m. in the Puskarich Public Library meeting room to sign up. If you are interested but not able to attend please contact pageant coordinator, Marsha Dodds at (740) 491-0051. Dale Davis,

CADIZ – Harrison County Sheriff Joe Myers during his monthly safety meeting held at the Puskarich Library in Cadiz on Monday stated that complaints regarding truck traffic, no doubt primarily oil and gas traffic, was down.

“We haven’t had as many complaints,” he told the sparse crowd. Myers did, however, advise motorists to be aware once school begins, which is set for Aug. 23. He went on to advise motorists to be on the lookout for county mowers working along may of the

county's roads.

Also, Ohio 151 in Scio is going to be closed for the upcoming Scio Fall Festival this coming week. A crew will also be working on the portion of the road that was cut into near the municipal building to repair a water line break. Fresh pavement will be laid down to fill in the dirt and gravel that has played a temporary role up till now.

ODOT’s JD Marlatt announced the bridge on 799 is open, and culverts under U.S. 22 have been corrected, which

Harrison County Genealogical Society accepts donations

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | AREA

4

We hear the phrase "genealogy act of kindness" all the time.

Usually it is when one genealogist sees a post on Facebook or on a bulletin board on a genealogy site and they take the time to do the research to answer the post and help the other person find a piece of their family puzzle.

Our local genealogical society has been the beneficiary of several donations of local items that may just lead to the discovery of someone's missing information on their Harrison County connections. All of the donations are important, however, it would not be possible to list them all here. ey’re listed in their newsletter "Our Harrison Heritage" to keep their members and exchange societies informed of new acquisitions.

Recently they received donations of materials from

Helen Bass Smith, Darlene Heavelyn Slodewski, John Keesey, Melody Hause and Jim ompson. ere are two large donations that the society wants to recognize.

In October 2017 Corley Anne Morton Byras traveled from Bowdoin, Maine to deliver 18 bankers boxes of genealogical books and research material that had belonged to her parents Paul and Alice Morton of Freeport, Ohio. Paul and Alice Morton were charter members of the HCGS and instrumental in the reprinting of the 1875Caldwell Atlas, which was a major fund raiser for the society. Corley included with the donation an index of the materials plus a letter giving the society sole ownership of the material and complete freedom on the usage.

In July 2018 Bonnie Mills Warren made two trips to the

society to bring books, pictures, (most labeled), dress, mink collar, mirrors, Franklin College cookbook and a real treasure a cobblers table made by E. M. Long of Cadiz. E. M. Long was the builder of the Harrison County Courthouse and many other historic buildings in Harrison County. Aiding her were her daughter-in-law Janeen Tanner Mills and granddaughter Sarah Mills of Texas and formerly of Cadiz. e HCGS is a non-profit organization. eir income comes from dues, sales of publications and donations. ese donations will help them meet the challenges to gather, maintain and preserve family information and records. ey work with the Harrison County Historical Society to preserve local history.

Library Friends discuss Blessings in a Backpack during meeting

By ESTHER MCCOY Nh Contributor

CADIZ - Jenny Gibson was the guest speaker at the July 18 Friends of the Puskarich Public Library meeting, speaking on "Blessings in a Backpack," concerning providing food to area students in the Harrison Hills City School District.

She said there are 557 students or 58.56 percent on free or reduced lunches at Harrison East and 306 students or 64.06 percent at Harrison North. All students can receive a free breakfast but Blessings in a Backpack is a nationwide program, providing a backpack with food for students on the weekend and holiday breaks, in order to have food for each weekend in the school years.

Gibson said that the average cost to supply food to a student for a school year is $100 and the program started locally during the 2015-2016 year, with 200 students receiving bags. During 2016-2017, there were 225 students receiving bags and in 2017-2018 there were 268 receiving bags. e program covers preschool through sixth grade, she noted. ere is privacy for the needy students. Backpacks are kept in the school office and distributed

by the school nurse, placing backpack in the student's lockers or book bags while they are in class to ensure discreetness. Funding comes from grants, local gas plants and the Backpack National Program.

Sysco Systems provides food, and fresh fruit and other items are purchased from Sam’s Club without the use of tax dollars. e rewards of the program are: 59 percent find it easier to learn at school; 60 percent do not get into trouble as much; 78 percent feel cared for by their community; 71 percent feel they are helping their family; and 60 percent report that their school attendance is better.

Hunger among children is a serious problem, Gibson noted.

Blessings in a Backpack provides a child with something to eat on weekends.

Suitable books will be placed in the backpacks and Joyce Brown will investigate the kind of books to be used. ose wishing to help the county program with a donation can do so by sending a check to Blessings in a Backpack, Harrison Hills City Schools, 630 Peppard Avenue Cadiz, OH, 43907. e group purchased yard signs concerning the children's

summer reading program and those who read the most books got a sign to put in their yards to support the library. erion Stokes performed his guitar at a summer program.

Sharon Dula reported that the reading program at nursing homes is well received. ose wishing to participate in the program and their choice of location can contact Dula at (740) 942-3711. Library Day at the Harrison County Fair was a great success with 87 participants taking part in the programs.

Trang Moreland, a local author from Uhrichsville, has a book about her time growing up in Vietnam and will speak at the open meeting to be held Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the library.

Some new databases can be accessed at the library now including: Ancestry, available for library use only; Fold 3, a military database; African American heritage, family history; and the Chiltons, an automobile manual.

Sam Bates presided over the meeting. ose attending were Sandi ompson, Joyce Brown, Carole Bates, Kelley Michelli, Sharon Dula, Judy Kuryn and Susan Adams. e next regular meeting will be Sept. 11 at the library at 10 a.m.

the school district, Cadiz and the county.

Busby stated they didn’t know how much that would be for Jewett with Meneely joking that Jewett might be at the end of the alphabet.

But the commissioners stated at that press conference, as well as at their regular meeting earlier in the day, that the money would be distributed throughout the county to help all villages and townships.

Council member, Bo Bailie informed council he met with water and wastewater committee and Charley Harris to voice concerns over their water meters. He wanted to let council know that’s why he met because he feared “it could possibly affect us getting grants.”

He noted Harris and the good job he was doing in getting those meters shut off that in lieu of payments not made.

Council member Dennis Hirschbach raised the issue of possibly obtaining some new playground equipment for the park. ey talked of grants received in the past for various things but Hirschbach inquired about something coming in of late.

“We don’t want to, you know, take a chance [and] go spend fifteen or twenty grand on something they aren’t going to use,” Meneely said. “We need to somehow find out what the

interest is.”

It was suggested maybe some companies could donate to the park but nothing was resolved as talks continued for a short while.

Clerk of Water and Public Affairs Rhonda Harris stated water rates were going up 25 cents as of Aug. 1.

“But the ordinance that we have says through August 21st, 2018,” she told council as Village Solicitor Jenna Hokes stated, “I think we have to rewrite it for the next five years of increases.” She added that the ordinance should have read “through August 1st of 2018… whatever you increased it to, is going to continue, it’d just stay at that minimum charge until we make a new ordinance.”

“Because we’re…fixing waterlines we’re going to have to amend this anyway,” Hokes explained.

Regarding information reported from the last meeting, lines published as “water” lines was incorrect and should have read “sewer” lines, which are being constructed from Faith Ranch to Jewett but not in Germano, as we reported.

It was announced as of now, that the next meeting in two weeks was to be canceled due to a lack of quorum, though Busby stated it would be held on Aug. 22 if needed.

involved in [the ceremony] as we can get,” said Tullis. “is isn’t about the Masons; it’s about Harrison County and the kids.”

Brent Ripley, Director of Operations for Harrison Hills Schools, presented a picture slideshow detailing the progress of the new high school’s construction. According to Snider, they are finishing the administration wing; there has been significant progress on the cafeteria, gymnasium, auditorium, and both floors of the school. Also, both the interior and the exterior of the building show progress. An interactive kiosk is planned for the new school, which will show off a history of education in Harrison County from oneroom schoolhouses to the state of the art facility.

Snider said improvements have also been made to the current high school including landscaping at Wagner Field to

deal with water issues as well as additional bleachers installed for the band to sit during games, freeing up seating for spectators.

Loudspeakers were spread out at the field to provide better sound quality. Lastly, the school parking lot was re-sealed. e board also heard from Duran Morgan, who presented an idea for including archery in the physical education courses.

Morgan said one of the teachers is in training and the school could test this new program soon.

Lastly, the board received a letter from the Cadiz Business Association thanking them for sending the football team to help with the concession stand during the fair. e letter also stated the team was a joy to watch, that they were efficient, and it’s hoped their hard work would continue on the football field. “It’s good to see that the community has good students,” said Kenny.

JEWETT – Mayor Dwight Busby announced at Wednesday’s regular council meeting that the EPA 50 percent grant they were counting on for their waterline project may not be on the way after all.

“EPA funding for our water project in case you don’t know, wasn’t fully funded after all,” Busby told council. “We were at the end of the line; the EPA doesn’t have it…although Bob (Allen, of E.L. Robinson Engineering) will still push and try to get that.” ey will get something but at this time they just don’t know how much. Council also noted that it was not definite that the village will not get the full 50 percent allocation of funds.

“So without that, it’s going to be a larger increase than we thought?” Council member Rick Meneely asked. Busby said there were still a few other sources to possibly draw from with one being the county commissioners.

Meneely brought up the press conference from the day before where Harrison Power released financial numbers of what the county would receive over 15 years, which was announced as $31 million broken up between

Look at the Past

A look back at the Dickerson Church In 1974 The Wally Byam Airstream Club, who were staying at Sally Buffalo campgrounds, used Dickerson Church for an old fashioned church service. The speaker, Ralph Hatch, President of Hanna Coal Company, rode in on horseback. He was followed by a choir dressed in old fashioned clothes and riding in a horse pulled wagon. It was such a popular event that it was repeated for several years.

The 69th Annual Dickerson Church Summer Meeting will be held Aug. 12 at 2 p.m.

Following a business meeting there will be music, a church service, old hymns and refreshments. This year will be the 130th year of worshipping in the 1888 Dickerson Church.

All are welcome.

Mayor’s Corner Hello, It seems like just a few weeks ago we were waiting on spring, and now it will be fall in a couple months. I’ve said it before, time goes by too fast.

CHS Alumni weekend is coming up. We would like to welcome back all Cadiz Cardinals and their guests, and also congratulations to the 25 and 50 year classes, which are 1993 and 1968 respectively. I hope that as many of you as possible can attend the activities being planned. It’s always good to catch up with our old friends and classmates that come back home to attend these fun events.

Mark your calendars for Aug. 11.

Police Chief McCann and the Cadiz Police department would like to remind motorists that with the 2018-2019 school year soon approaching, the 20 MPH speed limit will be in effect when lights are flashing through the marked school zones. e new paving on East Market Street makes that easy to forget.

We have two active school zones in town, one being the high

school on East Market Street, and the other is the Harrison Vocational School on State Route 9 (Cadiz Jewett Road). e Chief would also like to ask all parents, students and all motorists to use caution while buses are loading and unloading, especially throughout town as there are many buses picking up children at bus stops. Please remember that it is against the law to pass or go around a school bus when their lights are on and the stop sign is out. Violators will be cited.

Sally Buffalo Park will be hosting the Harrison County Cancer Crusaders 5K Color Run & Rally at Wallace Lodge on Saturday Aug. 4 from 7:30 a.m. - 11 p.m. Activities include a pancake breakfast by the Cadiz Lion’s Club, Blood Drive in memory of Jerry Graham, Kid’s Carnival, New Athens Fire Department Chicken Dinners, Motorcycle Benefit ride, Classic Car Cruise-In , Live music, just to name a few. Also at 10 p.m. there will be a Lantern Release, which should be a beautiful and

touching sight. It all sounds like a fun day for a good cause; here’s hoping for a great crowd.

Street Superintendent Hennis has reported that the street crew has been out working on storm drains, boom mowing, brushhogging, weeding and spraying around guard rails. ey are also working on the ever present nuisance pot holes, have striped uptown parking spaces, and are getting ready to do some spot paving as well. ese guys are always busy, and ready to help out whenever possible.

I want to thank the Ohio Department of Transportation and NSL paving for the terrific job they did in paving Route 250. e paving looks great and really takes care of pothole problems we have on this stretch of road.

We will have the uptown parking lot paved by the end of August. RK Landscaping did a beautiful job on rebuilding the planters at the parking lot. e Sidewalk replacement program is moving along.

Residents and businesses can still apply for the program at the

Municipal Building.

We were informed last week that the Village has received a $1.025 million grant from the US Army Corp of Engineers to go towards the South Center Sanitary Sewer Collection project which will be taking place starting in the spring of 2019. e OEPA mandated project is slated to cost approximately $7.5 million. We will be announcing public meetings to be held in August to inform you all about the project. e Village is presently pursuing other grant and loan programs to pay for this major undertaking.

My best wishes to all the students heading back to classes this month. Good luck to all our young people in all their scholastic and extra-curricular activities.

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

William "Bill" Simpson Jr. William "Bill" Simpson Jr., 76, of Cadiz, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on July 27.

Born March 20, 1942 to the late William Ernest and Helen (Primmer) Simpson.

Bill was a retired Army MSG, and Vietnam vet with 20 years service. He was a Noble Shriner of the El Jebel order of Denver, Colo. He was also a former volunteer firefighter/EMT with Harrisville Volunteer Fire Dept.

Christian.

Betty was a homemaker living in Cadiz. She loved caring for her family and often traveled to Maryland to spend time with her granddaughter and great grandson.

Bill helped many people in his time and made friends everywhere he went.

He enjoyed bull riding and bronco riding in his younger years, and later loved fishing, and sitting on the porch enjoying the fresh air.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Tara Lynn Simpson.

Surviving are his wife Elizabeth "Betsy" (Friend) Simpson; five children, Jim Simpson of Cadiz, Matt (Brandi) Simpson of Jewett, Sabrina LeFever of Cadiz, Danette Simpson, and Denise Simpson, and son in law Mike LeFever of Cadiz; three grandchildren, Luke and Colt Simpson, and Sarah LeFever; and a brother Michael (Kelly) Simpson of Montana.

Bill will be cremated, with a private memorial service to be held by his family.

Letters to the Editor Reader expresses concern over water treatment facility To Residents of Cadiz Village and Customers of the Cadiz Water System On ursday evening, July 26, I attended an information session and public hearing presented by the Ohio EPA regarding an application by Rosebud Mining for a wastewater treatment facility for the proposed Stautner Mine to be located at the intersection of US Rt. 250 and Church Hill Rd. about one mile above the east end headwater of Tappan Lake.

If the wastewater discharge permit is approved, the Stautner Mine would be able to construct ponds to collect and treat storm water and process water from the coal mining operation, as well as build a wastewater treatment plant. e treated discharge from these facilities would flow directly into Standingstone Creek and subsequently into Tappan Lake. Again, note these facilities would be only about one mile from Tappan.

Since Tappan Lake is the primary water source for the Village of Cadiz, the residents should be fully informed of any mining activities that could impact the safety of the village’s

Compassion Shown at Camp Pennington I would like thank all those involved in making the 2nd Annual Camp Pennington such an overwhelming success. e proceeds that were raised are being used to help fund the children's programs at the Puskarich Public Library System with libraries in Scio, Cadiz and Freeport. With over 8,500 children that attended library programs last year, the donations will truly make a difference. ere were raffles, donated items and a corn hole competition with a grand feast of covered dishes from everyone who participated. e generosity and outpouring of support from the

drinking water. Very little notice seemed to be given to the public prior to this meeting; and probably as a result, there were no representatives present from the Village, the Cadiz Water Dept., from Stock or Cadiz townships, or the local press.

Only a handful of local residents were present at the meeting to hear the EPA presentation or express our concerns regarding potential lake water pollution (such as bacteria, algae, acidity, suspended solids, common metals) or toxic heavy metal water contamination. All of which could impact the safety of Cadiz drinking water.

Rosebud’s siting of a mine at the head of Tappan Lake seems a grossly irresponsible location for such a significant potential source of water pollution. e Ohio EPA has set a very close deadline of ursday, Aug. 2, 2018, for the submittal of public comments.

Any concerned residents should address their comments to: Ohio EPA, Division of Surface Water; Attn. Permits Processing; PO Box 1049; Columbus, Ohio, 43216-1049.

Letter winners headline Huskies 2018 golf season

By ED BANKS

Nh Sports Writer

CADIZ - e beautiful Cadiz Country Club will once again be the home of the Harrison Central golf team.

A big plus for the Huskies is the stability in coaching that head coach Todd Dunlap and assistant coach Brian Gossett brings to the challenges they face.

Dunlap has just turned the corner on his 13th year at the helm, and his guidance has provided numerous awards for his teams. ough there will be some talent returning this season for the Huskies, graduation has claimed Clint Heavilin who was a 4-year letter winner, a Buckeye

8 first team member, an OVAC first team member and an Eastern District first team member. e roster for 2018 will be led by letter winners (*For each year letters were awarded): Cameron McIntosh** (grade 12), Hunter Vancuren (grade 12), Cruz Capers** (grade 11), Nick Coffland** (grade 11), Jacob Hudson* (grade 11), Jory Marvin* (grade 11), Arik Carman (grade 11), Hayden Wallace (grade 11), Samuel Santille* (grade 10), Trevor ompson (grade 10), Carley Rogers (grade 10), Clayton Everhart (grade 9), Jacob Mattern (grade 9), Aiden Sliva (grade 9) and Avery Wallace (grade 9). e Huskies return six letter winners.

Last season the team finished

24-3 in duals and 54-28 in tournaments. ey qualified as a team to the district tournament, won the Buckeye 8, and finished second in the OVAC. Despite returning all but one starter, the team has only one senior starter returning. at senior is Cameron McIntosh who has lettered two seasons, was honorable mention Buckeye 8 in 2017, and has played in every varsity match for last two years.

“Cameron has put a lot of time into improving his game and playing competitive golf and is looking to take the next step this season,” said Head Coach Dunlap. “ree other golfers return from last year's tournament team. Juniors, 2year letter winners Cruz Capers (Honorable mention Buckeye 8

in 2017) and Nick Coffland, and sophomore letter winner Samuel Santille all look to make strides this season. We are looking for this group to make improvements this season. ey have been playing competitive golf all summer and should be ready to make the next step.

Other returning letter winners are juniors Jory Marvin (2017) and Jacob Hudson (2016). Although McIntosh, Capers, Coffland, and Santille are solidly in the varsity line-up, the final varsity spots appear to be up for grabs between Marvin, Hudson, and Junior Arik Carman at the present moment, but with 15 members on the team, and some good young talent, it should be competitive for the final spots,” Dunlap added.

Huskies football opens against Garaway; Hayes remains optimistic

By ED BANKS

Nh Sports Writer CADIZ - Harrison Central’s first year head coach Anthony Hayes is full of optimism over his challenges and expectations for the upcoming 2018 season.

Hayes is not a stranger to the systems used by departing head coach Justin Kropka, and certainly no stranger to the other assistant coaches, as well as the players. He has spent 16 years working alongside Kropka who used him in both offense and defense planning and scheming in game assignments.

As for the assistants who will be working with Hayes, the names are all familiar household names that the Huskies fans have grown to know and see in a variety of coaching roles. ose assistants are: Bryan Mays, Bill Bryant, Ty Kenny, A J Barsch, Willie Walker, Cain Noble and Mark Smith.

Looking ahead to what we can expect as far as an approach or strategies, Hayes was quick to announce some of the essentials the Huskies would need to become competitive, not only this season, but in the years to come. “One of the first things we have been focusing on is numbers,” Hayes said. “We finished last season with 27

players and no explanation is needed to describe the affect that low numbers mean in a game. We are right now working with 40 players and that is just pretty close to where we want to be. We are also getting the kids to buy into the process of building a program that will produce success for Harrison Central. Right now, we are built for speed, small but more athletic. We have a tough opener scheduled at Garaway on Aug. 24. Garaway was a play-off contender last year and they have most of their squad returning. To add to that, they have just installed new turf and are looking to celebrate with a season opening win. In week 2 we entertain Bell Multicultural.

Belle is a school in Washington D. C., who we will face us via a one-time deal. Also, on Oct. 27, we will be facing Lucas, a school near Mansfield. ey are smaller but they were 4 for 5 in play-off berths the last 5 years. Lutheran East, a team near Cleveland will be the final of the new schools on our schedule in 2018. at game will be on the 19th. All in all, we will be similar in some of the things we have done in the past, but there will defiantly be a lot of different approaches in the way we are going to do things, he added.

Buckeyes out-maneuver Mountaineers 21-14; Huskies wellrepresented during festivities

By ED BANKS

Nh Sports Writer WHEELING, W.Va. - Last Sunday night, in Wheeling, in one of the closest and wellplayed football games of the OVAC’s recent history, the Buckeyes of Ohio used both and defensive offensive maneuvering to hold onto a 21victory over the 14 Mountaineers of West Virginia. e two teams exchanged scores before the Bucks closed the door late in the fourth quarter. e 73rd edition of the Rudy Mumley Classic saw West Virginia clawing their way to the 3-yard line in an attempt to tie the score in the fourth period, but a mishandle gave the ball back to Ohio. e gift would give the ball over to the Buckeyes with just a little over 8 minutes in the contest.

In closing the door on West

Virginia, the final drive for Ohio would see the clock at 5 minutes and some change, and the ball resting on their 39-yard line. ree consecutive first downs helped Ohio drain the West Virginia hope chest.

Harrison Central had a large representation during the AllStar program, but in the spotlight for most of the night were Caden Arbaugh and DeJuan Caldwell. Arbaugh’s interception in the frist half was a game changer, and he was interviewed at the half for the take-away.

On the field with the All-Star Band were Olivia Craig, Brianna Dickey, Jennifer Forrester, Paul Forrester, Michael Hart, Abigail Marker, Adam Ripley, Nicholas Wallace and Alexis Wiggins.

Representing the Husky Nation as a cheerleader was Reanne Brooks, and on the Queen of Queen Court was Joyce Barr.

Huskies volleyball players prepare for season during clinic

By ED BANKS

Nh Sports Writer

CADIZ - e 2018 Harrison Central reserve and varsity volleyball teams were for the second time, in as many years, receiving some first-hand volleyball instructions from the players from Mount Union University. As presented similar to

the routines of 2017, the instructors put the girls through the rigorous exercises that help form the game of volleyball.

Along with the game’s normal serving and volleying, getting the ball over the net, and placing it in different spots on the court, is one of the talents only a few volleyballers can achieve. e clinicians of Mount Union

interjected several techniques that will not only help the Huskies in that aspect of the game but will help identify the opportunities to do so. e clinic was attended by most of the kids you will see in the upcoming season, while other players were still on vacations with their families or working. e two-day affair should produce

improvement for a lot of those in attendance, and the Huskies are continuing to improve in both skills and knowledge.

Mr. Ray Hibbs will lead the Huskies this season. Hibbs stepped in when coach Sarah Hawthorne announced that she would step aside in 2018 due to personal reasons. Kasey Bethel will coach the reserves and assist Hibbs.

IT’S NO BULL ADVERTISING IN THE NEWS HERALD GETS RESULTS

An entire display of artifacts was set up in the back room of the legion honoring eight men who are no longer living with five of them having lost their lives in combat. ose were: Richard Morgan, Robert Edwards, James Harlan, Allan Nolan, and Donald Davis.

It was noted that Mr. Nolan was posthumously awarded among others, the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Army Commendation Medal, Good Conduct Medal and Combat Action Badge.

Jay Beadling, a proud member of the Hopedale Legion began the ceremony outside under a bright sun and in front of an attentive crowd. He noted the reunion has been held every fifth year since Vietnam and said he was honored to have the 660th present “and make sure you have more reunions.”

Others stepped up such as Terry Hosa as she thanked the group that made her feel welcome while she served.

“It was this family of unknowns that took me in [and] made me feel welcome…” Hosa told the crowd stating how honored she was to be a part of this unit and no other she’d rather be a part of. She said it didn’t matter what war or if it was during peacetime but the

660th had a “long and beautiful history of making amazing soldiers.”

Hosa quoted veteran and author Charles M. Province and his memorable poem, which included in part: “It is the Soldier, not the minister, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.”

After a moment of silence for the fallen Tricia Largent of the Harrison County Veteran’s Service Office, with daughter Kayla, spoke next and presented a coin to Veteran’s Service Officer Jim ompson in honor of being one of the “Sons of the American Legion.”

Tricia, who is a veteran of the Iraqi war serving 14 months while throwing in the experience of some combat as well, was more than happy to be a part of this reunion where many turned out and looked very happy to be there. Her daughter Kayla rounded up the donations after her mother typed the letter Kayla could take to businesses who generously donated.

“A big shout out to Harrison County for all the love they showed to us,” Tricia said. “I’m just blown away. I felt the love.”

Tricia dealt out many thanks stating that “With the support from all of you, this reunion was a huge success,” which included: Borden Office Supplies, John Tetley, Jim ompson, Jeff and Sara ompson, Lisa Tuchek, Tara Largent, Bob Kist, Alex Largent, Sabrina Cunningham, Tina Hill, Lisa Shultz, Nancy Van Curren, Cadiz Country Club, Caitlyn Rocchi, Blackburn Funeral Home, Novella

“A special ank you to Kayla Largent, Hopedale American Legion, Sons of the American Legion and Ladies Auxiliary, without you, this reunion wouldn't have happened. ank you to all that I may have forgotten. ank you Harrison County for supporting your veterans,” Largent said.

teachers will also be on site and bags to distribute school supplies to help prepare students for class.

“Bags of school supplies will be given out and we handed out almost 400 bags last year,” she continued, adding that the event would not be possible without the public’s support.

HOPEDALE

By Keele Ross Hello August!

August is national immunization and breast feeding month. World breast feeding week is August 2-8.

Babies need to see the doctor six times during their first year.

Children 1 to 4 years old should visit seven times. Ask if baby’s shots are up to date to prevent illness. Birthstones for August is sardonyx and peridot. Flowers are larkspur and water lily. e flowers in season for August are tulips, iris, daffodils and jonquils.

Today is all about “you” to those celebrating birthdays for the week of Aug. 1-7: Wanda ompson (Cadiz), Marlene Worklan, Heather Wurschum, Destiny Ash, Melvy Byers, Rick Atkins, Shirley Dennis and Mary Ann Zende. Hope you all enjoy your day!

Get well to Glenn Christy, Verna Rensi, Jack Atkins, Jim Ward, Joe Case and any others who are on the sick list in anyway. Prayers are being said. e Gregory Reunion was held this year at Sally Buffalo Park. ere was a great turn out with relatives coming from Michigan, Arizona, Illinois, Louisiana, Columbus. e food was great and fellowship was good too. e Ross family was held on July 29 at the Firestone Park in Columbiana. It hadn’t been held there since 1990. Chickie, Keele and Crow Ross attended the reunion.

Before I go let me say that: 1) Don’t tell people your plans.

Show them your results. 2) Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side because it’s fake. 3) It may hurt to let go, but sometimes it hurts more to hang on. 4) Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder.

I thought these were funny – If we’re not meant to have midnight snacks, why is there a light in the fridge? A man asked a fairy to make him desirable to all women, so she turned him

Go Railroaders! ank you Anthony for saving some Holloway history.

A "Fusee" is a railroad flare.

One definition is "a largeheaded match capable of staying lit in strong wind". Another: "a wooden friction match having a large head formerly used when a larger than normal flame was needed". "Fusee" was the brand name of a type of flare that was heavily used by most railroads. ere is no real difference between a fusee and a road flare. ank you to all who supported the Holloway Old Timers. ank you to all the people who worked on all of the events and in preparing all the wonderful food. By the time most people read this, the 70th Annual Old Timers Festival will be history.

Dickerson Church readies for 130th anniversary HARRISON NEWS-HERALD

NH Photos | ESTHER McCOY

The Dickerson Methodist Church stands in a serene setting on ground that was left untouched when Hanna Coal mining surrounded the church area and left it unattainable. This took place in 1944. Two Tamarack trees shade the area and it is noted that they have been there since there were campground meetings. There are also white oak and hard maple trees nearby. Two benches are arranged to look out on the lush, rolling ground and there is a monument located as well. The door was changed to the back of the church after reopening and the door to the narthex, where the church bell is located, was closed off.

CADIZ - An important part of Harrison County History is the Dickerson Church that stands on a small hill overlooking lush rolling fields and on clear days, it is said

by William "Bill" Spiker, that one can see the Cardinal Plant’s tall smoke tower, which sits in Jefferson County. is is the third church building on the site. It started with prayer meetings in the homes of early

settlers who were initiated by omas Dickerson who lived nearby. en in 1817, he donated the land on which the present building stands for a house of worship.

A log church was built on the present site in 1817. A second building was built in 1854 and in 1888, the present church was built and later covered with vinyl siding.

Carole and Bill Spiker, church trustees and officers, tell that original items in the present building are the very ornate pews that are without a scratch or

blemish, the altar rail, oil lamp chandelier, the bell that tolls a rich, nostalgic tone, windows etched in a lacy print and coat hooks on a walnut base that were part of the bell tower, where members would hang their wraps. Allan Carter, a member of the board of trustees, painted the walnut wood where the very antique hooks are situated. ey can still be used now but with the only meeting being in the summer, there is likely no need for heavy coats. e church is used once a year for the annual meeting of the

Dickerson Church Society and it will be held on Aug. 12, the second Sunday in August each year. e time is 2 p.m and families affiliated with the church over the past will be in attendance.

It is interesting to note that the meetings are held with auxiliary electricity since there is neither electricity or running water in the church. Electricity for cleaning prior to the event is provided by a generator, and water is brought in. e bell that peals a melodious tone will be rung to start the service as a reminder of all services held in the past and prayers answered for faithful members who worshipped over the past years.

As happens over the years, the church, as well as the adjoining cemetery, fell on hard times. It was in need of repairs and the cemetery was overgrown with weeds and high grass in the 1880's. A visit to the church in 1887 by Col. J.T. Holmes of Columbus left him saddened; he wrote to the church and offered to pledge $1,000 if the congregation would pledge to raise $1,000 to $1,300 more for the remaining cost of building a new church on the site. Trustees accepted the offer and agreed to raise the funds, promising to have the church built within one year. e old building came down and the new church was completed and dedicated on Oct. 7, 1888, without one cent of outstanding debt. is August, the church will celebrate the 130th Dickerson Church anniversary. e Dickerson trustees will be busy cleaning the church for the event because a year can leave much dust and dead insects. e business meeting starts at 2 p.m., followed by any young people in attendance interested in ringing the old bell calling the group to worship. Angela Ripley will open

The front of the Dickerson Methodist Church has the same pulpit that was there since the beginning of the church, with well aged maroon-upholstered chairs. Standing before the pulpit is William Spiker, chairman of the Dickerson Society. To the left, seated, is Allan Carter, a member of the board of trustees, and Carole Spiker, secretary to the group. Judy McCann is treasurer.

the worship by playing her flute. e Rev. Tim Monteith of Scott United Methodist Church will bring the meditation and Peggy Poole and Terry Galey will lead the congregation in the singing of old hymns. Cake and punch will complete the day, served under the shade of the Tamarack tree as fellowship is regained and a calming stroll can be taken around the church grounds. ree families in attendance last year traced their roots back to omas Dickerson, according to Carole Spiker. "Many in attendance come as they have relatives who worshiped at the church over the years or know the history of the little country church and appreciate worshiping there once a year." e first summer reunion was held on the grounds in August 1949 and have been held each year

since. e dedication of the omas Dickerson Revolutionary War Marker by the Daughters of the American Revolution was held in 1989 and in 1990, the Dickerson Society undertook a fund raising campaign to restore the old building.

Funds were solicited to put vinyl siding on the outside of the building. A slate roof is part of the back in time church building. In 1991, the society voted to cover the old plaster with a special water resistant drywall, paint it and put down new carpeting. e former entrance at the bell tower still bears a linoleum flooring with a calming pattern. It has stood up to the time well.

Donations keeps the church going, according to the Spikers.

Other members of the Dickerson Church trustees are Josh Wilis, Roy McCann, Brian McHugh, Ed Sobolewski and Dean Bower.

A look back at the Dickerson Church cemetery

By ESTHER MCCOY Nh Contributor

CADIZ - All is quiet and serene at the cemetery that accompanies the Dickerson Methodist Church, with one grave dating back to the Indian War in the Dakotas during the 1800's.

Allan Carter, a member of the church board, tells that there are maps to show the name of every stone but due to the ground shifting over the years, the stones are not all in a straight line now. e area that gathers much attention is the memorial stone of omas Dickerson, founder of the church in his name in 1804. He was a private in the Pennsylvania militia during the Revolutionary War and this is noted on his tall stone with a bronze star that designates his military service. ere are many other Dickerson family member's stones gathered around the memorial stone belonging to omas. It is wellkept as there are members of the Dickerson family who come to the cemetery during the year.

Carter said that the latest burial was in 2004, a World War II veteran who served in the U.S. Air Force. "We have

veterans for each war except Vietnam," he said.

He and Ray McCann put out 33 flags for the veterans buried on the grounds for Memorial Day and throughout the summer. e Cadiz Township workers mow the grass once a month and for each holiday and all the military bronze holders are kept looking good by the application of six coats of lacquer, it was explained.

"We need headstones replaced and others that have fallen replaced on their foundations. is is done through the Veterans Administration," Carter noted. ose driving past the lone church on Dickerson Church Road will be impressed with the statue of the white bronze monument that stands as a tribute to those who served in the Civil War as members of the Union Army. ere were bronze panels on each of the four sides with the names of the Dickerson family but vandals made their way into the gated area and made off with a piece of history.

It is still impressive though. is will be of interest at the celebration to be held Aug. 12 at 2 p.m.

The stone of Thomas Dickerson is in the church cemetery that was named after him as its founder. He was born on May 19, 1764 and died on Dec. 24, 1852. During his lifetime, he founded the Dickerson Methodist Church in 1804. He was a private with the Pennsylvania Militia in the Revolutionary War. There is family who keep up the graves of the many Dickersons buried on the grounds, located south of Cadiz on Dickerson Church Road.

The Dickerson statue stands proudly at the Dickerson Church Cemetery, where the church will celebrating its many years of serving the parishioners since it was built in 1888. The cemetery boasts of having its oldest veteran from the Indian War in the Dakotas during the 1800's.

Bethel United Methodist Church celebrates 200 years

BY ESTHER MCCOY Nh Contributor

HOPEDALE - ree days of memories, seeing former members, enjoying old hymns, listening to gospel music, a "Back in Time" style show and fabulous homemade food at old time prices were on the agenda when members of the Bethel Methodist Church came together to celebrate the 200th anniversary of religion that started with services under the leadership of the Rev. James B. Finley, a pioneer of early Ohio Methodism. e group would meet at the home of Joseph L. ompson near Cadiz. e church was first called the Bethel Society, with Finley the early Methodist circuit rider. e second church was built in 1825. Later, improved roads made it convenient to arrive right up to the door of the church.

A piano replaced the organ for the great old hymns and church literature was made possible to help learn and follow in the paths of righteousness through the years. e 200-year celebration had pictures going back many years and a magnificent quilt display was in the church sanctuary, spread over the pews that held many generations of worshiping members and guests. ere was an animal baby quilt belonging to Brenda Wallace and made by her mother, Peggy Maffitt; a quilt made in 1947 belonging to Donna Swanson, quilted by her aunt in 1947; a quilted double wedding ring and made for Patti Sabo by her mother, Aevella Delloma; a quilt belonging to Brenda Wallace that was
