Householder, House Bill 6 fallout continues

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HARRISON COUNTY – The fallout from the Householder investigation continues as the former Ohio House Speaker was indicted last week on what authorities described as a $60 million bribery scheme. He was also officially voted out of his leadership rule soon after.

Householder and four others were indicted on federal racketeering charges involving FirstEnergy Corp., and its two nuclear power plants near Port Clinton and Ashtabula. FirstEnergy has not been charged with anything as of now.

I WAS AS SHOCKED AS EVERYBODY ELSE BECAUSE I’LL BE HONEST WiTH YOU, ALL THESE ALLEGATiONS AND ALL THiS STUFF THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAPPENED DiD NOT HAPPEN iN THE STATE HOUSE OR iN OUR OFFiCE COMPLEX. DON JONES (DiSTRiCT 95) House Bill 6, which passed last November, subsidizes those two nuclear plants but left natural gas plants, which became a point of contention leading up to the election out of it. “…U.S. District Court alleges that Householder’s comeback road was paved by $60 million in dark money from an Akron-based utility desperate for a financial bailout ($1.3 billion),” the Dayton Daily News wrote.

“Householder used the cash to elect allies to legislative seats in 2018, win the speaker post, pass House Bill 6 and kill an effort to put the new law up for a referendum, an 82-page criminal complaint alleges.”

Now, according to Cleveland.com (Aug. 4), Householder allies sent cash to finance son Derek’s campaign for Perry County Commissioner. The article stated that most of the $42,100

came from “Householder’s political team.”

Two local Ohio representatives and co-signers of House Bill 6, Don JonesR (District 95) and Brett Hillyer-R (District 98) have been somewhat caught up in the fiasco (Hillyer had not returned messages left with his office).

Reached this past week Jones stated regarding hindsight that there were no indications of what was going on. He

also stated he had no knowledge of Householder’s practices nor did anyone else he worked with.

“I don’t like what’s going on, I don’t like everybody saying well your tied, I’m not tied to that. I had nothing to do with that.” Jones acknowledged receiving money from Householder like many others “but I don’t ask people where their money comes from” regarding donations.

Jones said he’d gotten to know Householder very well and first met him back in 2018 but added that he was as shocked as anyone when the

Harrison Hills receives national award

By JD LONG

CADIZ – The Harrison Hills High School design, one of just five recognized in the United States for the 2020 American School & University Educational Interiors Showcase, was awarded a Silver Citation recently.

The category came under the “Common Areas” and the citation was accompanied by a glowing report on its design, which was conducted by SHP of Cincinnati.

“Colors, materials, furniture, and spaces are indicative of a clear vision and response to the needs of a 21st century school,” according to the 2020 jury.

“Strong visual connections between classrooms and collaboration areas, activated corridors, connected classrooms.”

“We’re told last week that…the school is one of ten to receive a silver or bronze award on the design of the building and this is one of ten in the whole United States,” Superintendent Dana Snider said during their regular Harrison Hills Board of Education meeting held last Thursday inside the school’s auditorium.

“So many of us that are here know how wonderful the building is but they received accolades nationally for the design of the building,” Snider explained. Other silver citations were awarded in Celena, Ohio; Kissimmee, Florida; Oxford, Georgia and Sunnyvale, Texas.

The commendation described the elementary wing with “vibrant colors” with each grade enhancing the navigation for the students. It describes the middle and high school wings as having natural wood, “bright daylighted spaces,” and flexible classrooms that are designed around the common spaces and learning areas.

“Unifying 1,500 students from three schools in a 400-square mile district into one building is no small task,” per the commendation.

“Successful navigation was achieved through careful planning and an approach to interior design that created smaller “pod” schools within the facility-each with its own unique identity and aesthetic.”

Harrison Hills was also recognized

by AEP Ohio with a Certificate of Recognition “for their commitment

CADIZ – One may be hard pressed to find any silver linings in this COVID-19 disaster but a small group in Cadiz namely, the Auxiliary and the Sons of the Cadiz American Legion found just that.

When the COVID shutdown was in motion the American Legion shut its doors and went to work. The floor was re-done, ceiling tiles found a new look and the kitchen and bathrooms were also re-done. And the two groups gave all the credit to Ed “Blue” Long and Theresa “T” Price.

“This is for all their hard work,” Paula

Greer stated then they all gathered around as Barb Eckley handed each a plaque in appreciation for their hard efforts Monday in recognition for all that they did.

“This is for the healing and welfare for this community,” Long said. “We’re doing everything we can for this community.”

Jewett residents complain of negative impacts from water project

With layers of mud left behind after each time the water subsides, furniture damage and mold growth on their bed, the couple implored council to find a solution quickly. They can’t replace the floor until the water stops coming into their home. “I have yet to call the insurance company about the damages,” said Foster, “but I have a feeling that without flood insurance we won’t be covered, and who would have thought we would need flood insurance on High Street?”

Tom Birney also presented his concerns to the council. While no water was in his home, his property and view have been affected for quite some time.

Birney was looking for an action plan from council.

“We’ve tried to be pretty congenial the last three years,” said Birney, “but the drainage

news broke.

“I was as shocked as everybody else because I’ll be honest with you, all these allegations and all this stuff that supposedly happened did not happen in the state house or in our office complex,” Jones explained. “It was outside of the state government.”

Jones also stated that Householder is innocent until proven guilty and added that it might be a struggle to indict him, according to what he’s been told by acquaintances in legal circles. But as of July 30, that is exactly what happened along with four others (Jeff Longstreth, Matt Borges, Neil Clark, Juan Cespedes) joining Householder in the grand jury charges.

Speaking more candidly Jones said many legislatures have a

stating that the Harrison Hills City School District is saving 579,574 kwh or, 407.58 tons of Co2 annually “by having an energy efficient building.”

Snider also addressed the beginning of school and said that after a parent survey, 60 percent were in favor of coming back for the traditional five days

per week.

“And almost fifty-fifty wanting to come back with masks,” she stated adding that 1,086 people responded to the survey.

Also, the softball field project will begin with “dynamic compaction” on Aug. 12, which Snider said would take around two weeks to complete.

issue and hill slips need to be taken care of before the project is done...and I’m concerned this won’t be resolved and the equipment will be moved out and we will be left with a mess.”

The area in question is along Route 151 and 9 and down onto Lake street in Jewett.

Birney reported hill slippage and drainage issues have wreaked havoc on his property.

While the issues began years before the water project, Birney wants the village to take action now while the equipment and crews are still working. “It’s not about the new water line,” summarized Birney, “it’s about what we do now that we have a new water line.”

Harris confirmed that there is at least one drain near Birney’s property being temporarily bypassed as installation continues, which could be contributing to the problem.

Silt and mud now clog where water used to run and excess water is now pooling in new spots around his yard. He also voiced his concern for the erosion of his bank. While once

under control with land vines and other anti slippage techniques, water line installation upset foliage on the slope and yet again has caused slides. Birney suggested that Jewett consider installing catch basins as a permanent fix, and he suggested they do it before the project is done. “It’s a never ending battle, and I don’t think it’s my responsibility to clear the drains under the main road” noted Birney.

Birney’s second complaint dealt with a dilapidated home owned by the village. Birney can see it from his property and asked the council what their plans are for it. “I’m sure the village talks to property owners about eyesores, but you as a village have your own eyesore,” told Birney. He claimed that nothing has been done about the home for two years, and over the course of that time all the windows have been broken and the weeds have overtaken it.

“I’m asking these issues be addressed and you provide us with something in writing as to what you plan to do about it.”

501c4 but later added, while stating he does not condone “what he (Householder) did,” that in today’s society “everyone wants to be the judge, the jury and they want to convict him before they’ve even had their day in court.”

“He hasn’t really done anything different than a lot of other people in Columbus,” he stated. “A lot of these other politicians have these (501c4).

But I don’t know a lot about it like I said, I’m knew to this game and I’ve been focused on doing what I was supposed to do and that was try to improve education and try to make changes for the betterment of Ohio.”

Jones, who was a staunch supporter of House Bill 6 explained that all he did was vote on it, but that he was never in on any of the hearings, which he said was all run by the Energy and Natural Resource Committee. He said being a cosigner to a bill only means that

after voting a legislator can add his/her name as a co-sponsor “to say that we supported that bill.”

Jones went on to describe some of the benefits of House Bill 6 and used the Harrison County Fairgrounds as an example where he stated their electric bill went from $900 per month “with nothing going on,” to $350. He said this was due to an amendment attached to the bill.

He also stated that Jefferson County’s Fairground bill also dropped from $3,000 a month to $1,400. He said the reason, though complicated, was of the way the “county’s agricultural society was being charged” adding that a tariff or rate was added through the PUCO (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio). He said that was “nixed” and now the fairgrounds only pay for what they use.

“House Bill Six had a lot of good pieces to it,” he stated adding that bailing out FirstEnergy was only one component of the bill.

“That was a big component of it…but at the same time you know, it wasn’t the only component of House Bill Six,” Jones explained. The saving of some coal-fired power plants was the big reason he did support the bill.

Jones did place a lengthy statement on his Facebook page acknowledging Householder’s support and the support of JPL & Associates, “which is owned

by Jeffrey Longstreth,” one of the five indicted. He said everything is public knowledge and can be found on the Ohio Secretary of State’s website. He also added that he is “disappointed, disgusted and frustrated with the events and people over the last 10 days.”

Jones said he has no idea about what will become of House Bill 6 but legislators are working towards repealing it. But no session is scheduled till September.

COVID-19 cases jump five more in county

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The COVID-19 situation in Harrison County seems to be ramping up to match reports of the same happening around other parts of the country. Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome said there were seven active cases but the five new ones this past week brings the total of confirmed cases for Harrison County to 22, that’s up from 17 last week, which saw four new cases making it the record until this week.

“It’s concerning,” he said when reached later in the week. He attributed the recent spike in Harrison County cases to community spread and not any one common denominator. But at this point he noted there were no hospitalizations.

“Certainly seven active cases is the most that we’ve had in any point here in Harrison County with this pandemic,” Rhome explained. He also noted the school’s plan for reopening that is filled with options for the students, which does include mask wearing, per the governor’s recent orders.

He said that because the Harrison Hill’s plan includes the state’s advisories sent out the past few weeks, it has “piqued the public interest in the advisory level system that we’ve talked about.”

brought them to the top of the list. He said other than congregate living most of the cases were from people not wearing masks or practicing social distancing, which the efforts there seem to be breaking down all over.

“If you’re relying on the last two weeks to decide it’s time to wear a mask, that’s a bad decision,” Rhome told the board, “it’s too late. Now is the time.”

With over 18 million confirmed cases nationally and just over 700,000 deaths due to COVID, the fatality ratio remains below 4.0 at 3.7 percent. But once again, factoring in unofficially of course, the CDC’s “ten times higher” six-site study, that figure from last month, it becomes 0.37 percent or, just over twotenths of a percent higher than the seasonal flue.

Rhome again stressed the importance of mask wearing and asked people to ask themselves, “how can I help this situation?” And to ask yourselves, if you are helping or hindering the situation.

“I just want people to make good choices,” he stated, “to keep yourself and your loved ones healthy,” and to use an extra level of thought when going out regarding decisions one would make.

SCIO – Two arrests were made Monday in Scio with one involving a murder suspect Charles Deel II, 24. Deel was taken into custody after a short standoff at 302 W. Main Street, according to Harrison County Detective Robert Toker.

Deel, who was armed with a gun threatened to harm himself but authorities were able to talk him into surrendering. Toker said the standoff was not very long.

Woody Cisterna, 29, of Akron was shot multiple times where he was found on Kenmore Boulevard in Akron last Thursday evening. Cisterna died at Cleveland Clinic Akron General later that evening, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

The U.S. Marshal Service (USMS), Ohio BCI and the Harrison County Sheriff ’s Office were on the scene, which began around 9:30 a.m. Monday morning and the area was cleared out at around noon.

According to Harrison County Sheriff Joe Myers, USMS contacted his office

Rhome also touched on the Ohio Department of Health’s advisory system and what it has to offer for each county. He noted that Harrison County remains at Level 1 (yellow), which contrasts with other parts of the state where 13 other counties are in the red or, Level 3. This means “severe exposure and spread. Only leave home for supplies and services,” per the website. Orange (Level 2) means “increased” exposure and risk, which promotes caution but does not restrict the public’s movement. Purple or, Level 4 is the highest but just repeats the same instructions as Level 3.

“It’s not going to take much to trip that first indicator (yellow),” Rhome said and noted Harrison County’s eight cases over the past two weeks could easily trigger an upgrade for the county but hasn’t as of yet.

Twenty-three Ohio counties are in yellow but most are covered in Level 2.

Rhome said in terms of cases per 100,000 people Harrison County adds up to 26 cases out of 100,000 for just the past two weeks, which ranks them eighth in the state. For the state of Ohio, Rhome said the average of new cases per day is around 1,300.

Rhome also explained using Wyandot County as an example that has a population of just 22,000, where they had 34 new cases in two weeks, which

Harrison Hills gears up for school reopening

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Harrison Hills High School is set to open Aug. 24 with several options for students and plenty of precautions to combat the ongoing COVID19 dilemma. The logistical adjustments the school is making are plentiful while they attempt to make as normal an education process as possible.

For the high school students, Superintendent Dana Snider said there are two main options for the students: Attend school for a normal five-day week or partake in the online program.

“We’re trying to accommodate students to bounce back from the classroom to online…” she said and that can go both ways from online to the classroom if a student feels uncomfortable with what they chose in the beginning.

Grade school children will

follow same rules as high school students with social distancing (six feet apart) and dividers have been installed on student’s desks where needed to meet the social distancing guidelines. All students, per the governor’s orders, are to wear masks but students who request a face shield will be provided that as well. Also, each student will receive a water bottle as the school water fountains will be shutdown.

For preschoolers, school will begin on Aug. 31 and Harrison Hills will be breaking into two groups with MondayWednesday-Friday classes and the other will attend Tuesday’s and Thursdays.

Snider also touched on some sports issues with football and soccer restricted to scrimmaging only against themselves, but golf and volleyball have been given the green light to kickoff their fall seasons.

Snider said the extras being provided to the students have been funded by the federal government’s ESSER program, which is part of the Education Stabilization program.

For the Harrison Hills Board of Education meeting last Thursday The board heard plans from the Food Service Director Kelly Howes on what to expect when the school opens for the 202021 year on Aug. 24. “…I have every single kind of plan that we could possibly have for the COVID feeding,” Howes told the board. She also provided varying scenarios such as a modified school schedule, which would consist of providing breakfast and lunch at the end of the school day so students can take them home for the next day.

Other scenarios include attending school on a bi-weekly basis, or AM/PM where half the

We Cover All of Your Banking Needs

students would attend school in the morning with the other half in the afternoon.

For “distance learning” if the school would remain closed, she had a plan for that as well and provided a few choices if the school would be serving meals to students. The three different models listed were pick-up, bus route delivery and home delivery. She said this was similar to what they did during this summer.

For feeding in the classrooms students would follow the graband-go situation by taking their breakfast then head to the classroom. She said meals for lunchtime would be delivered to the classroom.

Howes said mostly the meals are the same as usual “but we will have more normal [meals] in the high school side. I plan on having salad, though we won’t have the salad bar…” She explained.

Commissioner’s rule against Nottingham road closing

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – A lengthy public hearing that opened Wednesday’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting did not end well for property owner Brian Lewis. After hearing comments from several members of the public and Lewis’s lawyer Benjamin Fraifogl, who opened the meeting, the commissioners, upon the recommendations of Prosecutor Owen Beetham and County Engineer Doug Bachman voted unanimously to reject Lewis’s petition to close a portion of Rowland Road in Nottingham Township.

Lewis owns the property on both sides of the road.

The meeting, which was moved to the large courtroom on the top floor of the courthouse because of the size of the crowd, saw the pleas of Fraifogl’s argument and others, last for one hour. The Resolution (29-30) was for the possible approving of Elk Run

Reserve LLC’s request to close that road, which the commissioners said had been altered years ago due to mining work but was never “put back” to its original direction.

Commissioner Paul Coffland later gave a synopsis of the argument, which is asking to close a portion of the road between Kennedy Ridge and Rowland Road.

“The issue is that two hundred fifty-feet off Elk Run and (approximately 2,000-plus feet) off of Kennedy Ridge…has not been passable in over twenty-one years.” He explained that where a portion of land was used as a means to lay pipeline at one time is not where the road should be, according to county GIS. Coffland stated that Lewis wished to have 250 of “Elk Run Road and 2,088 feet from Kennedy Ridge” with the distance in the middle being 4,285 feet being vacated.

“Because it’s not a road and he owns the property and he doesn’t

want anybody there,” Coffland said as the reason for Lewis’s request.

“Trustees don’t want it, the engineer says it’s not a benefit… ” Coffland began to explain as the reason for rejecting the petition when Commissioner Don Bethel joined in the aftermeeting discussion stating they were told it wasn’t good for Harrison County to close the road.

“We were advised by legal counsel if we vote for it and we’ll probably lose,” Coffland said, “at which time the township trustees can answer to the people of Harrison County.”

Both Coffland and Bethel said, “let the courts decide this,” which they surmised as where the issue was likely to end up.

“They voted on this back in two thousand ten…the other county commissioners and they voted to keep it open too,” Commissioner Dale Norris explained.

Fraifogl argued one of the main concerns is that a large portion of

the road is “highly impassable” and “can’t be used.”

“And we believe constitutes a… nuisance meaning that there’s no way for us really to legally…put a gate or fencing up to prevent people from getting onto the road…” Fraifogl explained.

Bethel at one time stated that there was no way he could go against past and present trustees, as well as the county engineer in approving this petition.

“It is our opinion that this vacation is not to the advantage of Nottingham Township and Harrison County,” Doug Bachman wrote in his response to the commissioners in regards to the petition.

Jewett council discusses digging accident, retirement, paving

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE JEWETT - Dirt work at the Jewett bank took a surprising turn last week. In attempt to not upset the surface, water crews “moled” or tunneled underneath.

The operation came to a surprising halt as they punctured an old fuel tank underground.

The equipment punctured the tank and had to be retrieved from inside the tank. Documentation was sent to the EPA, and since there was no spill, the accident was given to the state fire Marshall for review. Once the tank is tested, further action can be taken.

The mayor and council also

spoke of the retirement of Harold Niggonmyer. He served the community for upwards of fifteen years and will be missed. Council noted their appreciation for his hard work. As council spoke, they described Harold as dedicated and told stories of how he was known to have answered their calls and fixed urgent problems like water leaks in the middle of the night. His investment in the community has also included the fire department and Cadiz emergency squad. In light of this retirement, the village will be hiring to fill the water and street labor position.

In regards to the status of the water project, 67 houses still need to be tied into the new system.

The state lifted the shutoff mandate on August 1, and Jewett reported 14 shut-offs. Paving is to begin in Jewett next week starting on High Street, with a layer of cement underneath the blacktop.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Elected officials across the country are debating solutions to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

Community Health Centers (CHCs) are key to ensuring everyone can access affordable, quality healthcare, during and beyond the pandemic. They are locally run yet part of a national network serving almost 30 million people nation-wide.

They save American taxpayers $24 billion a year in health care costs by preventing and managing chronic diseases.

CHCs are not ordinary medical clinics; they are also problem-solvers who reach beyond the exam room to care for the whole person.

Community Health Centers care for everyone, regardless of insurance status.

As unemployment rises and more Americans lose their employee-sponsored health care, Community Health Centers will be the key to keeping America healthy.

I understand firsthand the

importance of Community Health Centers. Ohio Hills Health Services (OHHS) provides primary and preventative health and dental care and behavioral health counseling services at five locationsBarnesville, Caldwell, Freeport, Quaker City and Woodsfield. OHHS ensures that quality health care is available, accessible and affordable for everyone in the rural communities we serve.

Community Health Centers are a vital part of our communities. In order to survive and thrive well beyond the pandemic, Congress must pass emergency and long-term funding for Community Health Centers. As part of National Health Center Week 2020 (August 9 – 15), I support our Community Health Centers and celebrate their mission and many accomplishments.

CADIZ – Samuel Farnsworth, charged with murder in the death of Sherry Lynn Shrieve after her body was found along Harrison 36 back in March, appeared again via videoconference on Tuesday from Jefferson County’s Justice Center.

The Bellaire resident, represented by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola, heard from Judge T. Shawn Hervey that a “great deal” of evidence remains to be exchanged between parties at this point. Still to be completed is a Bill of Particulars (explanation of charges) that Pincola has requested from the prosecution.

Pincola confirmed that he had not filed a motion to compel the state to produce the Bill of Particulars, but only asked for a firm date on when his client would receive it.

“I think that the only alternative we have at this point is to request a date…” Pincola explained. Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese stated that he had reached out to the Belmont Prosecuting attorney for additional evidence he felt was crucial to his case.

“They have some information as far as their investigation that I think is relevant for our Bill of Particulars,” Bruzzese told the court. He further explained that charges Farnsworth also faces in Belmont County were beneficial for his case as the “underlying facts of that case would be admissible in a murder trial as consciousness of guilt.” Bruzzese said that in the next week or two he should be able to provide what the defense is asking. After Hervey suggested 45 days, Bruzzese said that that would be

After explaining the process to Farnsworth Hervey set a date of Sept. 18 when the Bill of Particulars would be due.

“I understand there is a lot of evidence in this case and there may be things that have not come in possession of the state of Ohio, or have not come into the possession of the defendant yet,” Hervey explained and set the date as a standing order by law.

Hervey added that once the date of Sept. 18 is met then Farnworth’s clock for a speedy trial would activate, where Hervey would then set a trial date.

Also appearing via videoconference was Cadiz resident Cruise Bishop who is facing two charges of pandering obscenity involving a minor with one being a felony of the second degree and the second charge, a fourth degree felony.

Tuesday was Bishop’s first pretrial hearing where he was also represented by Pincola. Hervey told Bishop that Pincola would be seeing him shortly and that he would also be placing Bishop on the schedule “sooner than later” noting that his trial date is set for Sept. 15.

Pincola informed his client that discovery items have been received from the state and acknowledged that there was an offer on the table. He stated that once he relays what that offer is then Bishop would have to make a decision to either accept or take his chances at trial.

The 24 year-old defendant is being held on a $50,000 bond.

pleasure rather than lovers of God, inventing their own form of godliness.” Have you seen anybody like that in person or on the news lately? As bad as all that sounds, we are not without hope and courage.

Actually, these are really exciting times for followers of Jesus.

We are given six important actions to take in Paul’s letter to Jude to keep us moving forward.

First, remember the apostles teaching. In short, that’s the doctrine of salvation through Christ alone and assurance that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Secondly, we are to build ourselves up on our holy faith.

Every believer has a

responsibility to build themselves up much like King David did when his men were about to stone him and the scripture says, “David encouraged himself in the Lord”.

Thirdly, Paul says to “keep yourself in the love of God.” It doesn’t take much to get us out of sorts and to start wallowing in the hateful muck and mire with the rest of the world.

Fourthly, we are told to wait expectantly for the Lord’s return, and believers have been doing that for close to two thousand years.

So, what is taking so doggone long? Peter says in his epistle that God is waiting for as many to be saved and come to a knowledge of the Lord as possible.

Fifthly, we are told to be

merciful and snatch people from destruction. It’s all too easy to put on a Pharisee hat and look down on those who aren’t like us, but every believer is called to be mercy motivated and tell of God’s goodness.

Paul warned all of us that in the last days “evil men will proceed from bad to worse”. So, individual believers and church congregations have a decision to make; we can be contenders or pretenders. We can hunker down and fade into the background or obey the apostles doctrine and go forward in a spirit of love and gentleness, contend with the spirit of the age and make a concerted effort to take as many people to heaven with us as we possibly can. pastorkenstaley@gmail.com

Village workers installed a new fire hydrant at the corner of Phila St. and Muskingum St. after an 18-wheeler ripped the old one out of the ground. The truck was turning west onto Muskingum St. when it struck the hydrant.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy Soon, or maybe even now, there will be no past 4-H members who will remember the old Smithfield Fairgrounds, located at the intersection of State Routes 150 and 151. The 12acres of land for the venue were purchased from Joseph and Rebecca Cope and expanded as much was possible before encroaching on other property throughout the years. It got its start on Sept. 17, 1871, and was held for a three-day span. It came to be known for outstanding horse races over the years, drawing a huge crowd to the sheltered grandstand area that protected visitors from sun and rain. Actually, many who were not even interested in horse races came just to “sit for a spell.” The track was widened for a more extensive racing program in 1914 to continue with bringing in horses and interested racing fans.

There was much in the way of garden produce, flowers and floral arrangements, bales of hay and other grains for judging.

And farmers and gardeners were serious about getting their prized blue ribbons and the premiums that came with it for first place.

History does not tell if there were best of show ribbons that were the ultimate high of a contest though. At first, there were only first and second place awards but later a third place was added in the 7th and 8th departments and a fourth was added in the livestock department.

The grounds expanded in 1884, a year after a name change to the Jefferson County Agricultural Society in 1883. Walter Rose, a still familiar name in the village and beyond was named fair board secretary in 1941 and held the office for 36 years, inclusive to 1976. Gerald Hasley was another secretary who was in office for a long duration.

In 1919, tracts of land were purchased to add two additional acres to the grounds and 1920 found the grandstand enlarged and on that Thursday afternoon of the fair, about 3,000 persons were on hand to witness the races. It is noted that participants in the horse races were pleased in regard to the manner in which the awards were made. The purse in each case was $300 for the winner.

With the existing facility becoming unable to hold the increased 4-H, FFA and open class livestock and little existing property available for expansion, another option became available through the former Hanna Coal Co, changed to Consolidation Coal Co. This was at a time when a decision had to be made about the future direction of the fair was inevitable. Through the work of the Jefferson County commissioners, Russell Hesske, retired county commissioner and Smithfield resident Joe Hickle, a total of 1,100 acres was deeded to Jefferson County, with additional acres over the succeeding years.

Excitement was held that the fair might make its move in 1967 and giant earth moving equipment was moved in to prepare the way. But that goal and several others were set and missed. It continued with development and the addition of a lake, an airstrip and hangar.

Then came a time when the grace periods came to a halt. Obstacles were miracously resolved but it was recalled as the summer of monumental hard work to get ready for the August 17 to 22, 1982 date. And that is the rest of the story. It has grown, used for picnic purposes, a walking trail, many barns added and will continue this year as a Junior Fair. It will need to observe all the restrictions of the Corona Virus and will be limited in its past endeavors but the fair will go on.

We enjoyed a family jaunt to Delaware, Ohio, over the Friday weekend. I tell everyone we are going to Columbus because if I say Delaware, they assume it is the state to which we are visiting.

For such a nice subdivision, I was surprised to see the street sign where they built their house had the name Crick in it. I thought those were only small streams in western movies.

There were lawn dart competitions, which I played a better spectator; a splinter removal by our granddaughter Jessie, who is at OSU in the medical field, after I skimmed my hand along a rough bannister to go down steps; sitting around a fire ring toasting marshmallows for the neighborhood children; and a muskrat that kept wanting to come ashore at the lake behind the houses. I am told that the furry creatures dig deep holes along the shore and with the

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | CORRESPONDENCE hollow land, rider mowers could break down the existing land along the water and the mower and rider fall in the water.

When we came home I noticed a furry creature standing beside our utility shed. He was standing up making an awful racket.

Lamont was upstairs and I wanted to tell him to come down in a hurry to see what it was. My explanation was “ There is a big fuzzy thing standing by the shed making noises and he might get into the garden and do damage.”

On my explanation, he came at a slow trot. It was now lying down but could still be seen.

“That is a ground hog. He is not going to get into the garden.”

Now you realize if it does decide to invade the garden and go vegan that I am holding my husband responsible.

We walked the Innis Gardens and while I thoroughly enjoyed the flower gardens, maze, statues, pond, bridge, trellis cave, turtle mound and wildlife that we could behold as we wandered about, it was a hot and long walk for someone who did not have the right shoes for a hike.

For lack of anything that I thought might be enjoyable on television, I started watching the ESPN Classic World Series games. Having watched some of them twice, I can predict the score and winner really well. I do remember Reggie Jackson who tied Babe Ruth’s World Series home run record, Thurmon Munson who died in an airpane crash, Darryl Strawberry, Bucky Dent and a few others from my days of watching a few actual baseball games. I am a little dismayed at the Pirates now but they are young. Hope they improve.

RAYLAND – Raising livestock as projects for the Four-H organization has been part of what the organization is about since its 1900’s beginnings.

Members in Jefferson County have been deep into getting up early to feed and train their fur or feathered animals in anticipation of the Junior Fair livestock auction. This is held after the judging of their hard work in August.

There are 4-H families going back to their present greatgrandfathers and there are new families. Stopping at the Best and Saiter family farms, one can see the results of the feeding and training that has gone on there and in many 4-H project areas.

There are the Best trio, Cameron, Lindsey and Connor, children of Erin and Brian Best who live on adjoining land to Erin’s parents, Corky and Judy Saiter. Corky’s father was a farmer and likewise his grandfather. Then they are the Saiter brothers, Drew and Cole who live on a farm in Bloomingdale and little Luka, son of Emilee Petric, a Clover Bud but up and coming 4-H farmer.

Cameron, 16, a Cloverbud at 7, raised layer chickens in his first 4-H years, along with pigs. He won many prizes in this area and won awards for his work. He also raises pigs. In 2015, he had a cow and a calf operation. In 2017-18, he started his own breeding stock and won grand champion in breeding and reserve heifer calf over time. He holds many jobs during the summer, working at Rayland Dairy Queen, farming for neighbors and a cattlebreeding operation. He still has poultry too. During school at Buckeye Local, where he is a junior and plays basketball, he is up quite early during school days to get his cattle fed.

Lindsey, 13, was a Cloverbud at age 4, and started with chickens when she went into 4-H. This is her second year for pigs and raising them when she saw the fun her older brother was having in training the animals. Lindsey attends the eighth grade at Martins Ferry Junior High School and plays basketball.

Lindsey told of a fox coming into the pen and eating all the show birds. It was devastating to see them gone. Her poultry is now the layer and fancy categories and she wins awards with them.

Horse back riding is another of her hobbies and she competed in many shows, including the Steubenville Saddle Club and Belmont County.

Connor, 9, was in Cloverbuds at age 4 and this is his first year for taking a pig project. He is a fourth grade student at Martins Ferry Elementary School. It looks as if he will follow in the paths of his brother and sister.

Drew, 16, is a cousin to the Best children and raises Hampshire pigs, a dairy beef feeder calf and two Crossbred steers. He has been a 4-H member for eight years and is the son of Heather and Andrew Saiter of Bloomindgale.

Drew was pleased to have his hard work bring him a grand and reserve beef breeder award in 2018. He has won a dog championship in the past years as well. His school days are spent at Harrison Central High School where he is a sophomore. His hobbies are hunting and fishing.

Cole, 13, raises and shows lambs in his 4-H livestock projects. He told that his sheep is shorn and trimmed up one week before the Jefferson County Fair. He received a grand prize for lamb breeding, most outstanding beef exhibitor and grand alpaca in his work. He has four dogs: a Golden retriever, a bloodhound, a German shepherd and a border collie.

Luca Petrick, is the son of Emilee Petrick, and is in the Cloverbuds with Town and Country 4-H. He is not afraid of the animals and will be in the mix with the other cousins in several years.

Mary Jane Engler and I ate at the Deersville General Store on Sunday. Ribs was on the menu and they get a five star review. It was busy and it was fun talking to folks. And of course, we had ice cream.

That is a lot of ice cream and a lot of scoops. But then, they are the best ice cream for 2019 in Ohio based on the Ohio Farm Bureau.

Best, Saiter kids get involved in 4H activities

BY ESTHER MCCOY RAYLAND – Raising livestock as projects for 4-H has been part of what the organization is about since its 1900’s beginnings.

Members in Jefferson County have been deep into getting up early to feed and train their furry or feathered animals in anticipation of the Junior Fair livestock auction. This is held after the judging of their hard work in August.

There are 4-H families going back to their present greatgrandfathers and there are new families. Stopping at the Best and Saiter family farms, one can see the results of the feeding and training that has gone on there and in many 4-H project areas.

There are the Best trio, Cameron, Lindsey and Connor, children of Erin and Brian Best who live on adjoining land to Erin’s parents, Corky and Judy Saiter. Corky’s father was a farmer and likewise his grandfather. Then they are the Saiter brothers, Drew and Cole who live on a farm in Bloomingdale and little Luka, son of Emilee Petric, a Clover Bud but up and coming 4-H farmer.

Cameron, 16, a Cloverbud at 7, raised layer chickens in his first 4-H years, along with pigs.

He won many prizes in this area and won awards for his work.

He also raises pigs. In 2015, he had a cow and a calf operation.

In 2017-18, he started his own breeding stock and won grand champion in breeding and reserve heifer calf over time. He holds many jobs during the summer, working at Rayland Dairy Queen, farming for neighbors and a cattle breeding operation. He still has poultry too. During school at Buckeye Local, where he is a junior and plays basketball, he is up quite early during school days to get his cattle fed.

Lindsey, 13, was a Cloverbud at age 4, and started with chickens when she went into 4H. This is her second year for pigs and raising them when she saw the fun her older brother was having in training the animals. Lindsey attends the eighth grade at Martins Ferry Junior High School and plays basketball. Lindsey told of a fox coming into the pen and eating all the show birds. It was devastating to see them gone.

Her poultry is now the layer and fancy categories and she

wins awards with them. Horse back riding is another of her hobbies and she competed in many shows, including the Steubenville Saddle Club and Belmont County.

Connor, 9, was in Cloverbuds at age 4 and this is his first year for taking a pig project. He is a fourth grade student at Martins Ferry Elementary School. It looks as if he will follow in the paths of his brother and sister.

Drew, 16, is a cousin to the Best children and raises Hampshire pigs, a dairy beef feeder calf and two Crossbred steers. He has been a 4-H member for eight years and is the son of Heather and Andrew Saiter of Bloomindgale. Drew was pleased to have his hard work bring him a grand and reserve beef breeder award in 2018. He has won a dog championship in the past years as well. His school days are spend at Harrison Central High School where he is a sophomore. His hobbies are hunting and fishing.

Cole, 13, raises and shows lambs in his 4-H livestock projects.

He told that his sheep is shorn and trimmed up one week before the Jefferson

Cameron's Crossbred market steer stands at attention for the Best and Saiter children. Standing from left, Drew and Cole Saiter, Lindsey Best and Cameron Best, holding the steer. Connor Best is kneeling.

County Fair. He received a grand prize for lamb breeding, most outstanding beef exhibitor and grand alpaca in his work. He has four dogs: a

Golden retriever, a blood hound, a German shepherd and a border collie.

Luca Petrick, is the son of Emilee Petrick, and is in the

Cloverbuds with Town and Country 4-H. He is not afraid of the animals and will be in the mix with the other cousins in several years.
