CADIZ – For Harrison County the census response is one of the worst in the state, according to Harrison County Commissioner Paul Coffland as he stated at Wednesday’s meeting.

It was an issue not listed on the agenda but after receiving information sent from the census bureau Coffland

sent the message out again as others have been doing since back in the spring. What is particularly puzzling is the lack of response rate in the area

Fire destroys home in Scio

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

SCIO – A fire that occurred last Friday to a Scio home at 318 E. Main Street (the corner of Ohio 151 and Main Street), not only gutted the structure from bottom to top but resulted in a massive response from all over the county.

No less than 12 departments responded, which included: Bowerston, Piedmont, Hopedale, Cadiz, Scio, Washington Township, Harrisville, Kilgore, Tappan, Moorefield, Jewett and Perrysville Township.

The fire took the roof off the building and burnt part of a large tree that overshadowed the house. Firefighters worked to keep the fire from spreading to a small house sitting next door,

considering the census takes less than five minutes to fill out. Responding to a census used to take much longer but not anymore.

Coffland stated once again, the importance of the census determines future funding into the state, as well as congressional seats, which Ohio is competing with others such as Michigan for example.

“Unfortunately, we have one of the lowest response rates in the state,” Coffland said. “Ottawa, Morgan, Vinton, Meigs and Harrison County.”

He said the state of Ohio is averaging a

68.2 percent response, which he said was above the national average but below other states they are competing with for congressional seats.

The neighboring state of West Virginia ranks second in the nation in responses with an average of 94.8 percent and Pennsylvania at 67.9. The two states Ohio is competing with,

which they were able to do.

Scio Fire Chief Roger Bethel speculated that the fire might have begun on the ground floor, but noted it was too early at the time, to tell what caused it. He did commend rescue units who protected the house next door.

At one point most of Main Street had been blocked off from the stop light down to that corner of Main Street.

ODOT participated in directing traffic, as well. No one was home at the time and there were no injuries reported.

A spokesperson for the Ohio State Fire Marshal stated this week that they suspect the fire began in the kitchen area but since the house was totally destroyed, there was no way they could “get in there” to determine exactly what caused the fire.

Firefighters from 12 districts responded to 318 E. Main Street in Scio last Friday for a structure fire that completely gutted the house. They were able to prevent the fire from spreading to the next door house as the fire burnt through the roof and singed the large tree behind it. No one was injured.

Two large fields of sunflowers a half a mile west of Scio have provided photo opportunities for many families besides presenting a delightful view for traffic on state route 151. Bob Hendricks owns the land, and has planted two fields of sunflowers and two of corn for wildlife feeding areas beside his pond which is in the area.

Harrison County hit with three more COVID-19 cases

Rhome, as he spoke at Wednesday’s commissioner’s meeting.

The total the county has been affected with now stands at 31 with just two active cases ongoing. Rhome said there was no one link, or event such as a large gathering, family event for example that led to the infections of any of the three.

“There’s no known link between them, it’s not an event, it’s not a family, it’s not a school, it’s not a building,” Rhome explained, “no known link…at any one particular place.”

When asked if it was more concerning that the infections did not derive from any large event, he

stated that either way, a large event or being infected at random was just as dangerous as the other. He called it “more alarming” if those three cases were the result from an event instead of all three not being connected to each other.

“And we continue to have generally pretty good cooperation from

residents when we call them and give them the bad news about either, isolating or quarantine,” Rhome told the board. “So, generally pretty good response from residents cooperating and trying to stamp this thing down

Ascent Resources to provide local schools with COVID-19 supplies CAMBRIDGE – Back to school is looking a little different this year with a global pandemic (“COVID-19”) on our hands. Schools have been faced with increased health protocols, financial challenges as well as the overall concern for the wellbeing of the children and faculty.

With the amplified financial strain put on districts, the team at Ascent Resources, LLC (“Ascent”) saw a need to assist with those supplemental costs in a variety of ways. Ascent is the largest producer of natural gas and oil in the state of Ohio by volume and while headquartered in Oklahoma City, its Ohio home base is Cambridge, Ohio with another field office in Belmont County.

The first stop was Cambridge Primary in Cambridge, Ohio.

Cambridge Primary serves about 450 students grades K2nd and was facing reduced contact concerns for their students. At the request of the principal and others, Ascent contributed 450 water bottles for students to use as a substitute for drinking fountains and 450 tubs to replace cubbies for this school year.

“Cambridge Primary is very appreciative of Ascent's generous donation of tubs and water bottles for our students,” said Cambridge Primary principal April Massey. “The tubs will allow students to have a place to keep personal belongings and the water bottles will be used at the water fill stations that have taken the place of drinking fountains.

The safety of our students is our top priority and this donation will help support that task."

Looking at the current guidance by the Governor’s office, hand sanitizer was a popular back to school item districts are expected to have an abundance of.

Ascent selected a school building and/or district in each of their operating counties to supply gallons of foaming hand sanitizer along with smaller

self-pump containers for each classroom in those areas. In total over 200 gallons of sanitizer was dispersed throughout the following schools/districts: Caldwell Elementary- Noble County, Rolling Hills- Guernsey County, Harrison Hills District- Harrison County, Bellaire Elementary- Belmont County and Indian Creek Elementary Schools- Jefferson County. Ascent also partnered with one of its vendors, Universal Pressure Pumping to assist with this donation in Jefferson County.

“Being able to assist students and staff during this pandemic has become a top priority for Ascent Resources in Ohio,” said Amanda Finn, Director of Government Relations for Ascent Resources. “We value not only the safety of our employees and vendors, but of the communities in which we operate.

Being able to contribute over $10K in COVID-19 related donations for back to school initiatives was a great cause for us to support.”

Finally, Ascent worked with Buckeye Local Schools in Jefferson County, which serves Pre-Kindergarten - 12th grade.

In order to reduce common area school supplies the district reached out regarding its 20202021 back to school year project. The project consisted of buying school supplies for students that would normally be classroom shared items like crayons, glue sticks, pencils, scissors, folders, notebooks, etc.

“This pandemic has made us look at how we are doing things in education. We are implementing this policy of limiting what the students can bring from home to help curb the spread of COVID-19,” said Scott Celestin, Assistant Superintendent Buckeye Local School District. “It’s on each of us to find new ways to limit the sharing of items and still make this a great learning environment for the children.”

Coffland said the local library has also offered assistance in filling out the census.

“Again, we’ve talked about this continually but you’re talking about billions of dollars over the next decade in funding,” Coffland explained. He referred to Freeport’s major sewer line project and “a lot of those

funding sources count on census data.” The project is estimated to cost around $8 million and the county is aiding Freeport to obtain those funds.

“So, we need people to complete that,” he stated, “you’re going to have people knocking on your door. I guess we’ve already had some going through the county door to door from the census.”

“I think the schools, the districts, everybody’s doing a pretty good job we’re all working closely together… ,” Rhome said. He felt

Harrison Hills transitions from school opening to sports

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Last week it was preparation for the opening of

school amidst the ongoing COVID-19 situation. This week, sports edged its way into the limelight as football, volleyball and preparations for the new softball field and parking lot at the old school location were discussed at last Thursday’s Harrison Hills Board of Education meeting.

Under Staff Reports, Duran Morgan laid out the small differences between normal classes and current conditions on the elementary side, with students staying “stationary” as opposed to changing actual classrooms. For high school grades 7-12 Morgan said it has been changed quite a bit with a “block style schedule.”

He explained it as a “double period” with students completing a full course within one semester.

“So what we did our students are now in four classes instead of seven for the first semester,” Morgan explained adding that this will cut down on transition time while keeping them in one place without constantly mixing with other students. He also said this method allows the students to advance quicker than they normally would.

“And I’ll give our staff credit too, they’ve done a good job,”

The team at Ascent Resources have been donating ammunition to battle COVID-19 and Harrison Hills was a recipient last week when they handed over 80 bottles of hand sanitizer, which was distributed around the school where needed.

Morgan told the board. “They’re distancing our kids in the classroom, separating desks, setting up their classrooms so they can have an effective instruction and really make it as normal as possible…”

Director of Operations Mike Saffell told the board that state inspectors made them place thermometers, or temperature sensors, on all the busses. He said along with hand sanitizers on

busses as well, they are sanitizing the busses twice daily.

Saffell said everything has gone relatively well considering all the changes in logistics.

“If you would have told me it went this smooth I would have told you, you were crazy, Saffell said. “But everything has went really, really well for as many different changes out of left field that we had to make, it’s been really good, it really has,” Saffell said.

Superintendent Dana Snider agreed and described the new school year as “almost uneventful.” She, as well as others have commended the staff and students for the adjustments made adding that it seemed to be running even smoother than last year. She also noted that they’re operating with 350 students less who have chosen to work via online courses but with each day they are getting some of them back.

“People know that staff care and work hard [and] administrators here have done a phenomenal job above and beyond to make these four days way easier than last month was,” she said in referring to 11 more enrollments with seven of them being from other districts.

Snider also thanked the community for supporting the school highlighting Ascent Resources pitching in dropping off 80 bottles of hand sanitizer,

with Capital Health pitching in with 300 boxes of tissues.

“The community wants to support us and we certainly welcome that and very grateful for the way that they feel about our school,” she told the board.

In other items covered, Snider said some in the area may hear that familiar pounding as the softball field is prepped by leveling it out, as was done for the new school.

Also, where the old school once sat a parking lot is being prepared as earth is being moved around and leveled out. DJ Watson commented on the football situation stating that prior to the COVID-19 situation the school was not scheduled to open up with a home game. They thought they would have more time to prepare for the extra parking but “unforeseen circumstances” changed that. “…Administrators have the ability to shut down a game if people are not following the rules,” he explained referring to social distancing at sporting events, which he said people did abide by at the few events already held.

“We need people to do what they’re asked to do and cooperate or we’re taking away from the event for the kids.”

MWCD sees no change in oil & gas revenues

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com NEW PHILADELPHIA – The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) opened their August videoconference meeting last Friday with the same financial status as the previous month, which was no surprise considering the drop in oil and natural gas production.

Jim Crandall, who was filling in for Chief Financial Officer Jim Cugliari, announced that the MWCD’s base operating income was approximately $5.5 million, which he said was down over $8 million from 2019 ($13.7 million).

Highlighted was oil and gas revenue with just over $248,800 for the month to date

and $5 million so far for the year.

“So, we are trending down compared to last year obviously and also to budget,” Crandall explained. “So we’re trending towards the six million dollar revised figure that we’ve discussed in previous meetings [and] not a whole lot has changed there.”

Crandall told the board that the budget would not be met but that also the revised number will remain the same.

He said a large jump was seen in parks and marinas for both July and August but especially the parks area. That number was doubled from last July of 2019 when they saw $591,000 taken in versus the nearly $1.3 million this year for July. He said part of that jump was due to “moving seasonal camping

payments back a month.” But he added that even with that he called July of 2020 a phenomenal month. Crandall said the Parks area is helping to close the slight gap in budget being met.

For non-park revenue he felt they could exceed budget in the area of Marinas. Revenue there was also up with $795,000 for this July compared to 2019’s $622,000. He said for Docks the budget has already been exceeded by another $6,000.

“So people are definitely out and about using our parks, marinas and the lakes in general,” Crandall told the board, “So that’s really good news.”

For operating expenses MWCD saw a slight rise with just over $9.4 million for 2020 versus $9.3 million in 2019. For

payroll the figure given was $6.5 million through July of this year versus $6.1 million in 2019. He said the August figures would tell them more “because the number of pays will be the same” due to some adjustments already made that will even things out.

“We’ve done a good job controlling expenses in relation to some of the things we put into place when all this began in March,” Crandall explained referring to the COVID-19 situation.

For the Maintenance Assessment Funds, the secondhalf settlements coming in from the counties in their district show a rise of 24 percent in expenses over 2019. He said water quality monitoring, sediment removal and shoreline protection were some of the

reasons given.

“So, once we get through August numbers we feel like we’ll have a really good feel for how we’re going to project out and we’re going to come back to you in September with one whole package of budget adjustments, as opposed to piecemealing some of the ones we knew and we’re comfortable with in August,” Crandall explained referring to adjustments made and cancelations of events.

Crandall said work on the 2021 budget is well underway and everything is normal so far regarding trends.

Questions followed the report and regarding the budget for 2021, Board Member Joanne Limbach suggested investing more money into their Partners in Watershed Management

(PWM) program where the MWCD gives grants to area needs within their district.

“I think now to put more money into PWM, which is local, that that would be a… pertinent investment for twenty twenty-one,” she stated adding another suggestion of structuring things a certain way to help with the overall grant.

Limbach asked if this could be considered in their upcoming budget meetings for next year.

Executive Director Craig Butler said they were going to include “additional capacity for PWM.“ He added that there was no match-provision required regarding PWM grants and Board Member Gordon Maupin felt there was some “inkind” services to act as a match to aid in the PWM program.

Columbus to Pittsburgh Corridor featured in report

The Columbus Pittsburgh Corridor Association (CPCA) is pleased to announce the federal acknowledgement and support of the Columbus to Pittsburgh Corridor Project; as it was featured in the U.S. Department of Energy's June 2020 edition of The Appalachian Energy and Petrochemical Renaissance.

The Columbus to Pittsburgh Corridor is listed as a project that would "support economic growth and diversification" within the Appalachian Region, when completed.

"We certainly are encouraged

by this acknowledgement and the potential for support from the federal government," said Ed Looman, CPCA President.

"The association continues to push for action on this much needed transportation alternative. Going forward, our hope is we can have another feasibility study on the proposed corridor."

The project can further assist in providing an economic boom to the Eastern region of the state; as shale oil/gas, steel, petrochemical, manufacturing, logistics, food processing, and tourism are all industries on the

rise along the corridor. With only 30 percent of the 160-mile corridor to be completed, the endorsement of the project from the U.S. Department of Energy will prove to be an invaluable asset in the finalization process.

The completion of the Columbus to Pittsburgh Corridor will not only have a positive impact on Eastern Ohio; but will also bolster economic growth in neighboring West Virginia and Pennsylvania counties.

"To be in an Executive Order Report signed off by the White House is a very encouraging

step. While how the project will get funding is still a primary effort and will take time. We remain focused on continuing to push for completion of this viable roadway artery for the future of our region and the new global diversified business economy we are building and trying to attract," Nick Homrighausen, Executive Director of Harrison County Community and Economic Development and CPCA Vice Chair stated, "The efforts of our trip to Washington D.C. last year and our meetings with DOE, Congress & Senate can

only of certainly helped in this reports inclusion. With less than 30 percent of the roadway to be completed to four-lanes we continue to remain positive and will push our efforts to the next level as the time is now to complete what was started well over 40 years ago."

"Completion of this four-lane corridor is vital to the economic growth and resiliency of the OMEGA region and will promote growth in the wood products, food processing, logistics, and other diverse manufacturing sectors," Ohio Mid-Eastern Governments Association

(OMEGA) Executive Director Jeannette Wierzbicki said, "As referenced in DOE's report, investment in this project is also a crucial component of the Appalachian energy and petrochemical renaissance. The Columbus to Pittsburgh corridor will also alleviate congestion on I70 and lead to more efficient movement of freight between the two growing metropolitan areas".

The Columbus Pittsburgh Corridor Association is excited for the future of this project and looks forward to partnering with local, state, and federal entities to ensure success for the region.

Jewett discusses paving as line project winds down

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT - The village of Jewett, now in the thick of their major waterline project, which includes paving the roads that have been torn up, realize they have more roads that need repaired than once thought.

Water-Sewer Superintendent Charlie Harris said nine more new meters are left to install.

After informing council where Border Patrol was headed for meters and black topping roads and alleys, Council Member Rick Meneely asked if that was all they were going to do.

Harris said there was ditch repair they would do but Meneely was concerned that some paving that was promised residents due to this project, might not get done.

“Now I’m hearing some even aren’t going to get done,” he told Harris. “If that money was there, that money should be there.” Harris stated that the company looked at blacktopping and the “quantity in the project is the same.” He gave an estimate of around 22,000 square feet that was to be done.

“So if the engineer said that at the beginning of the project that if it’s not going down the middle of the street (new lines) there was no money put into that street to do blacktop,” Council Member Paul Prevot said. It was also said that new lines not placed under the middle of a street was because of old lines interfering so the new lines were placed to one side.

The issue of how much paving will be done in Jewett was discussed at Wednesday’s meeting with Border Patrol nearing the end of the village’s major waterline project.

“I just know we got to figure out something we’ve got to do because we committed to taking care of these…streets and alleys and now we’re not going to do it,” Meneely explained. Harris said when first discussing the project the engineers were told most of the roads were to be paved “then when we got the contract and everything, some of them was changed.”

There seemed to be no clear reason as to why some things in the contract were changed but Meneely, when contacted the following day, said he was

determined to find out.

Prevot said some streets aren’t even being ground but just overlaid with new blacktop. And apparently the word is that Border Patrol was not going to pave roads where they did not work, which includes half a road being paved with the other half left untouched.

Some good news was revealed when Harris announced that an astounding number of gallons of water have been cut down since those new lines have been put

in. He said water usage at the start of the project was 80,000 gallons to 90,000 gallon being produced. Now he’s noticed, in the past month, it’s down to 40,000 gallons.

Council was shocked at the number but pleased at how much they were now saving with money not lost.

“That’s very impressive Charlie,” Treasurer Linda Ager said. She added that the project was still not completed with the implication that even more could be saved.

Nichols retires from post office Randy Nichols from the Freeport post office retired on Aug. Randy has worked for the post office for 39 years and six months. Randy started out as a rural carrier sub and worked his way up to a regular rural carrier. His Postmaster Lou Romestan says "Randy in an excellent carrier. He is reliable and dedicated. Randy goes above and beyond". He will be missed by his co-workers and by his customers.

Looking back at the cannon dedication in Cadiz

The J.S. McCready Post, G.A.R. of Cadiz made a request for the donation by Congress of two cannon for ornamental purposes for the town of Cadiz. From The Cadiz Republican Thurs. Sept. 25, 1913 pg 3: The Grand Army people had a beautiful day for the ceremonies of the cannon dedication on Tuesday (Sept. 23, 1913) this week. At one o'clock the parade was organized on east Market Street, consisting of 75 soldiers of the G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) 35 of the Sons of Veterans, and between 400 and 500 scholars of our public schools, including both the Central and the Dunbar School, all led with music by our City Band. When the parade halted the dedication exercises were held from the platform at the Bingham monument, a large crowd of men and women being massed in front of the court house lawn.

Good News

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

God is at Work

How many of us are waiting on an answer to prayer? Just about every one I think.

Does it feel like the answer will never come? Faith and patience are the key but that’s easier said than done. Jesus said that “my Father is working, and I am working”. He knows what is going on behind the scenes. There is no panic with Jesus. The challenge that we face is that most of us are “Microwave” believers serving a “Crock Pot” God. No one puts a rump roast in the microwave for five minutes and expects it to turn out like one that was in a crock pot for five hours.

Quality takes time. And many times, we are dealing with a situation that involves the changing of another person’s will or their lifelong habits and attitudes, and that kind of change doesn’t happen overnight.

God is a gentleman and people are not puppets, we must allow

Him the time to move in the way He sees fit. Ironically, we could be the slacker that someone else is praying will change and they’re wondering what is taking God so long to act on their behalf.

Jesus experienced this when His good friend Lazarus died. Lazarus had two sisters, Mary and Martha.

After Lazarus had died, Martha (remember her? “Tell my sister to help me!) went to confront Jesus and said, “Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died.” When Martha’s prayer was not answered in the time she allotted, she gave up expecting a good result. We have an expression we use when a woman becomes pregnant, she is “expecting”.

When we pray, we are expecting.

We can wait passively or expectantly. When a woman becomes pregnant, she doesn’t sit around and do nothing for nine months. She gets the baby’s room ready and all the things that go

with it.

If you have prayed for a situation to change in your life, what have you done to prepare for when the answer comes since you are “expecting”? Jesus said in Mark’s gospel “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

That is a vital principal of prayer, believe you have it before you see it. Believe He heard you and believe that God is working even when you don’t see anything.

The writer of the epistle to the Hebrews wrote, “Be followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Oh no, not that “patience” thing again.

For those of us from a microwave generation it can be a hard pill to swallow but it’s a key element of a life guided by faith.

A wise wordsmith once said, “Faith isn’t knowing what the future holds but it’s knowing who holds the future.” That’s good news for everyone who is praying and waiting while God is at work.

Kate’s Take:

PAST & CURRENT ISSUES iN LAW AFFECTiNG OUR HOME iN HARRiSON COUNTY

What’s in a Deed?

By Attorney Kate Knight Kimble Did you know there are different types of deeds? And the type of deed you grant to someone affects your obligations to him in the future? And the type of deed you receive as a grantee dictates what you actually receive in the deed?

Depending on the type of deed you hold for your property, the prior owner may or may not have made you promises regarding the title to your property – including whether he actually even owned it when he deeded it to you. If you have an issue with your property’s title in the future, the promises made in your deed may help you or hurt you down the road.

So, what types of deeds are there and why does it matter what type of deed you receive as a new owner?

The most desirable type of deed for a new owner to receive is a General Warranty Deed. In a General Warranty Deed, the prior owner makes six covenants – or promises – with the new

owner. The owner, or grantor, promises that: • she has lawful ownership of the property; • she has the right to convey the property; • the property is free from former mortgages, judgments, executions, and other encumbrances; • the new owner will have peaceful ownership of the property; • the new owner will have quiet possession of the property and will not be disturbed by anyone who has claims against the property; and • she will reasonably correct any defect in the title.

A second type of deed is a Limited Warranty Deed or a Special Warranty Deed. In a Limited Warranty Deed, the owner only makes two promises to the new owner: • the property is free from encumbrances made by him; and • that he will defend the new owner against anyone tries to claim for the property through him.

A third type of deed is a Quit

Around the County From the Harrison County Visitor's Center

September has arrived! Schools are open, kids are back in the classrooms, fall sports are being played just not with the audience they are accustomed to. Families are settling into routines and a somewhat more normal lifestyle.

But let us not keep taking our precautions; please wear your mask and social distance.

There are events taking place in the county in September starting with the 17th annual Old Construction and Mining Equipment Show. It will be held September 12 & 13 on St. Rt. 519 Stumptown Rd. near New Athens, Ohio. They will have a variety of

old operating equipment digging and moving dirt along with antique trucks, crawlers and displays. Hours are Saturday 10 -6 and Sunday 9-4. Admission is just $3, and food provided by Two Guys and a Grill.

The Fall Smokeout Pulling for a Cure truck and tractor pull will take place Sept. 26 at the Harrison County Fairgrounds, beginning at approximately 3 p.m. Cost of admission is $5 per person.

If anyone is interested in purchasing a snowman for the square applications are available at the visitor’s center or by calling 942-1102. Cost for a new one is

Claim Deed. In a Quit Claim Deed, the owner is simply granting to the new owner whatever interest he or she holds in the property. This literally means that the new owner gets whatever the prior owner owns – if he owns no interest in the property and signs a Quit Claim Deed to you, you now own no interest in the property. In a Quit Claim Deed, the prior owner makes not promises, including whether she even owns the property at all.

There are appropriate circumstances for each type of deed. The next time you buy or sell property, you will probably pay closer attention to the type of deed you are signing or receiving if you are transferring property.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy I have some more fair stuff to talk about this week and then it is over and probably not to be forgotten because of all the differences in the event. The most wonderful thing of all is that the weather was wonderful.

Perhaps a bit too hot at times but there was no rain or wind whistling around the open barns. I think the horse barns are the best for staying out of the rain if it should come down. It is quite long in length and the horse stalls block rain coming in.

Samantha Glenn won some nice awards with horses in her final year as an independent.

She was a member of her dad’s cub, Country Rangers, for many years. Her brother, Gabriel, won a second place with a horse and cart. Leve McCourt, 14, Country Classics 4-H, had his horse inside a stall, out of the heat with electric fans all about on one hot day. The Georgian Grande comes from the Double B’s Training Center in Annapolis.

Leila Sudvary, Broken Fences 4-H, who was about to celebrate her 11th birthday just after the fair, took first in junior goat showmanship at the show for pygmy, companion, miniature and silky fainting animals. I wanted to see the fainting demonstrated but don’t know if it really happened during a show or not. Her pygmy had the name of Smokey as it is variegated shades of gray. Her dad, Coy, tells that Leila is very attached to the goat. They took second in pygmy doe in class 29 competition too.

Autumn Grafton 4-H Varieties, made a nice haul with her bunnies in market class and show. She received reserve

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | CORRESPONDENCE

champion market rabbit, fourth market, fourth junior showmanship, reserve doe and litter and reserve senior buck.

She was loaded down carrying the prized imprinted lawn chair and many ribbons and signs back to their trailer.

There were five outstanding ribbons awarded to decorated booths in the 4-H building.

Happy Hooves and Fancy Feathers 4-H received a big purple ribbon, likewise, Country Rangers; 4-H Varieties; Windy Ridge and Wildwood Critters. Congratulations to all who put up a booth. That is plenty of work, especially coming up with a theme. There was a gigantic booth featuring the 14 graduating 4-H members who will be sadly missed in the next coming year. They had fivegallon glass jars loaded with pull tops from soda cans that have been collected through the summer even if people were stationed in their own homes.

Shelby Robinson, Wildwood Critters 4-H, believes in keeping the winning in the family as she attained the status of grand champion market steer this year, following her brother, Gage, who had the honor in 2019. She is 14 years old and has been in the club for six years and is an Edison High School student.

She just raised her work up a higher notch by having a reserve market steer in 2019 and a grand in 2018. Her proud, grandmother, Carol Mercer, tells that during the summer, Shelby would give the steer baths twice a day. It came to the Mercer farm when it was 6-monthsold. Thankfully, her grandfather, Larry Mercer, a past fair board member who died at the end of last year, got to see it.

Shane Griffith, 14, Windy Ridge 4-H, had the reserve champion dairy heifer, reserve champ overall and intermediate showmanship. His sister, Corissa, 16, had the grand overall dairy, dairy feeder and supreme dairy showman.

Owen Long, independent, had the grand champion beef heifer.

He had been in 4-H for 13 years before going to independent in his 19th year.

A great deal of thanks should be offered to Angie Allison, 4-H Extension agent, for her help with all the members in attaining the great work they have done this year. Just think how much easier when they go back to the “almost old ways” of taking part in a fair in 2021.

By Ruby Foutz Congratulations and God bless you, Lemmie Causby for

serving in the 75th Army Infantry in WWII. This was a wonderful article done by JD Long, thank you.

If you have to go to the Harrison County Courthouse you will have to enter the building using the new entryway. The three-year project was worth it - it's new, clean, better security, more efficient and more professional. A job well done.

Some of you have seen the signs that construction began on Aug. 31 on County Rd. 22 and County Rd. 17 will be closed for a bridge replacement.

Closure may last six weeks.

With September up on us, it was good to see the Look at the Past picture of the Harrison County Fair Board (stamped September 3, 1954. Loved the picture and had met some of the board members when I moved hear years ago. Thank you for sharing the picture.

Happy Birthday and many more to Ivan Dowdle, John L. Tabacchi, Anna Belle Watson (and a hi from Merle), Nancy Positano, Joann Lowmiller Samples, and Lenny Fish.

Happy Anniversary and best wishes to Jim & Paula Couch Lowmiller and Lynn & Rev. Stephen Modranski.

Thank you to the family for sharing in memory of Norma Bateman. She was a beautiful person, always kind and loving even during her illnesses. She is missed by many and I didn't realize it has been a year since her passing. My prayers are with you and I miss seeing you all.

Prayers and get-well wishes to Dorothy Glover, Linda Laughlin, Rosalee Horn and Shirley Rogers.

Deepest sympathy and prayers to the following families: Merle Mader 80, Hopedale; Jeffrey Helmbright 48, Harrisville; and our dear friend Joe Howard Satterfield 90, Bowerston. My heart was saddened two weeks ago when Bernadine, Joe's wife went home to be with the Lord and now Joe. They were together 75 years and they were two special people that showered others with good Christian love. We were privileged to have known them and they will be missed by many. RIP We wanted to share with you that our heart is heavy. We had to have our dog Rosie put down. She was a pure bred German Shepherd, runt of the litter of twelve. She was going on 9 years old. She was always loving, loved visitors and loved to play ball, walk and of course eat. She had dinner with us every night, went out every time we went outside and laid on the floor and watched TV with us every evening. We both talked to her a lot and at times she would make noises as if to talk to us. We are still shedding tears over her because we loved her as much or more than she loved us. In every thing we do at home, we think of her. She was the sparkle that kept us going and we miss her so much.

I'm sure you animal lovers know how we feel. She was our baby and we miss her.

All 'bout Christ would like to leave you with this scripture: Psalm 119:50 - Your promise revives me; it comforts me in all my troubles. Amen. God bless you all, Rev. Dr. Ruby Foutz, 740-942-8866.

Husky football, cheerleading and marching band seniors recognized

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - Prior to last Friday night’s Cadiz versus Steubenville Catholic Central football game, Harrison Central took time out to recognize the involved seniors.

The group of seniors that took part in the evening festivities included the football players, the cheerleaders and members of the marching band. All of the seniors are to be congratulated for their involvement and

contributions to the Harrison Central athletic programs over the past four years.

During the football season, each of the three programs complemented each other and provided excellent support to each other during the football games.

Though the season has been shortened and modified in an unprecedented manner, the school board, and the teachers the administration, the fans, but especially the parents are overly appreciative of the student’s

desire to contribute to the school.

The seniors involved include: players Brian Hendershot, Ron Pauley, Kanyon Coleman and Kobe Mitchell; cheerleaders Kelsi Johnson, Abbi Jozwiak, Alexandra Barcroft, Secret Rosenberger and Malaina Sedgmer; and the marching band members Jenna Easlick, Abigail Marker, Ava Armstrong and Brianna Dickey, Rachael Laney, Lane Harding, Jessie Modon, Tad Reyes Guzman and Nick Wallace.

On Thursday, Aug. 27, the Union Local Jets visited the Harrison Central Huskies for a game of varsity boys soccer at Wagner Field in Cadiz. Before the game Harrison Central’s five senior soccer players were honored. Playing in their final high school soccer season were Luke Forrester, Jack Novotny, Brady Positano, Hunter Fisher and Dillon Waggoner.

The Huskies were on the attack from the first touch and dominated possession of the ball during most of the game with the Jets. Junior Jacob Mattern racked up the first goal off a pass from senior Jack Novotny just two minutes and 30 seconds into the game. Twenty-three seconds later, Novotny blasted one from the top of the penalty box for a 2-0 lead. A few minutes later it was senior Dillon Waggoner with the score to make it 3-0. With 29:40 left on the clock in the first half, it was a Novotny pass and a Positano header into the goal.

Then after another four minutes it was Positano connecting for another goal to make the score 5-0. Seconds later, Sophomore Jace Madzia scored for a 6-0 tally. Freshman Jaydis Yoho booted one in to boost the score

to 7-0. Then, senior Ben Forrester took an opportunity to tuck one in the goal to make it 8-0.

With about 11 minutes left, the Huskies ninth goal was scored by Hunter Fisher off a Positano pass. During the second half Jaydis Yoho logged some time as goalkeeper while Waggoner had one more goal to round out the score at 10-0.

“What more could you want for Senior Night,” said Head Coach Derek Gramling. “Our seniors got a lot of playing time tonight and all five of them got to score.”

The Huskies next game against Maysville High School of Zanesville proved to be more challenging for the Huskies. On Saturday, Aug. 29, Harrison Central traveled to Zanesville for a match with the Panthers. It was a mostly defensive first half for the Huskies and junior Mack Marshall saved six shots on goal.

One shot did make it through with just six minutes remaining in the first half for a score of 10. Twenty-three minutes into the second half Maysville scored again to make the score 2-0.

The Huskies worked together defending the goal while trying to force an opportunity to get back in the game. Their chance came with just 3:43 left to play when Novotny’s pass headed

into the goal by Mattern for a score of 2-1. Goalkeeper Mack Marshall had five saves during the second half for a total of eleven for the game. According to Coach Gramling, “It was a sloppy first half with too many mistakes for which we were punished with two goals. The second half was better played, and the team fought hard.”

Maysville came out on top 2-1.

Harrison Central trekked over to Beaver Valley High School on Tuesday, Sept. 1 for a game on the Beaver’s new turf field. The game was a battle from the starting whistle to the very end and although the Huskies lost, Coach Gramling was, “pleased with their hustle tonight. The boys put in everything they had and hustled until they could barely walk.” The Huskies only score of the game came from a penalty kick inside the box by Ben Puskarich with 17 minutes left to play in the first half. The final score was 7-1 with the Beavers coming out on top.

The Huskies are scheduled to play at Cambridge High School on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 11 a.m., at East Liverpool High School on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 6 p.m., and at Oak Glen High School on Thursday, Sept.10 at 7:30 p.m.

HC volleyball defeats Ferry, sweeps Bellaire

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - Last Saturday morning the Harrison Central varsity volleyball team traveled to Martins Ferry to take on the Purple Riders. The Huskies got off the bus ready for the match and went to work making it a short day. They would sweep their varsity hosts in three consecutive sets and by scores of 25-14, 25-19 and 25-6.

night for the reserves as they picked up their initial win of the season.

The junior varsity posted scores of 26 - 24 and 25 - 21 on their way to the win. The varsity Huskies went through the visitors posting scores of: 25-11, 25-8 and 25-20.

Huskies control Crusaders start to finish By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – For the Harrison Central football program, there’s plenty to dive into when looking back at last Friday’s season opener with Steubenville Catholic Central.

Let’s for one minute set aside the grueling journey of ‘whatifs’ that it took to get there. The masks, the social distancing, the constant changing of guidelines, and how about a Hurricane induced night full of wild weather to top it all off.

We all know it’s 2020, and well, the list goes on and on.

Let’s instead skip to the opening kickoff, where it was James Brooks slicing through the Crusaders coverage team for an 81-yard kick return to the house to open the season.

From that moment on, the long awaited party had started for the Huskies.

On their first offensive possession that required a huddle, one of the valley’s most explosive players in senior quarterback Kobe Mitchell connected with Jonathan Vermillion for a 40-yard scoring strike. Jace Madzia was solid on both early scores with the PAT, and the Huskies held a 14-0 lead with 5:33 remaining in the opening quarter.

After the Huskies defense chased the Crusaders off the field for the second straight time, Mitchell was poised to attack once more. This time from 28-yards out, the AllOhio product found last season’s top receiver Trevor Carman inside the ten yard line; Carman went on to find the pylon on his own and the Huskies were rolling up 21-0 after the successful Madzia boot. Fast forward another two minutes and the Huskies offense dialed it up yet again.

With 1:32 on the first quarter clock, Brooks busted loose for a 78-yard touchdown run, using up all the real estate Wagner Field had to offer, altering his path sideline to sideline on his way to the

endzone.

After another successful point after, the Huskies were in complete control at 28-0.

In the second, Mitchell was ready to showcase his ground game. The versatile QB worked his way out of trouble in the backfield, finding some open turf on the edge that led to a 25-yard scoring sprint. An errant snap, led to a blocked PAT, but it really wouldn’t matter. Up 34-0, The Huskies had put the game on auto-pilot with 8:24 to go in the half. For good measure, Brooks tacked on another touchdown with 1:21 to go before the break, outdoing himself with an 80yard run to paydirt. The junior running back finished with an eye-catching stat line of 201yards rushing on just four carries. Yes four carries.

The Huskies led 41-0 at the break, and only surrendered a second half touchdown when the underclassmen were carrying the flag in blowout mode.

This year’s matchup was a far cry from 2019’s outing at Harding Stadium, where the Crusaders kept the action within one possession until the closing moments. Harrison now holds a 2-1 advantage in the series. We’d have to go back to 1999, Harrison’s first season of football under the consolidation, to find SCC’s lone win (27-24) in the all-time matchup.

Mitchell finished five of eight passing, with 136-yards and two touchdowns. His favorite target was Carman, who hauled in two catches for 60-yards receiving and a score. Brooks, Vermillion, and Parker Hutton all hauled in a catch each.

Harrison’s defense was hitting on all cylinders as well. As a unit, the home squad gave up just 123-total yards to the Crusaders. Nathan Bertolino led that charge, with three solo tackles and 10 assists. Hutton made his presence known as a two way factor, with four solos, and one assist. Mitchell, Brooks, Vermillion, and Carman also flashed their

Harrison’s defense turned in a stellar effort last weekend against Steubenville Catholic Central. Giving up just 123-total yards, it was a solid opening night for Hayes’s Huskies. Caleb Cowans (40) and Nathan Bertolino (50) track down Central quarterback Ryan Gorman (10) in the backfield.

ironman skills from the defensive side of the ball.

Matthew Smith, Cabot Arbaugh and Caleb Cowans combined for 15 takedowns as a trio.

“We were solid in in all three phases of play (offense, defense, special teams). We have much to clean up on for week two and we are committed to doing that. We understand that we must be better today than we were yesterday,” Head Coach Anthony Hayes stated after the victory.

Back to that long story of how we got here. Hayes and his staff deserve a lot of credit. Keeping a group of young people motivated and working for something that they weren’t sure was going to produce a

reward was no short task.

“It’s been a long time in the waiting. Our kids and coaches have been working extremely hard without any type of guarantee in sight in regards to COVID. That shows their level of commitment to the program, one another, and their school. I am happy for everyone involved in our program and especially our young men. They were prepared, they were focused, and they had fun,” Hayes remarked.

In another move from the ordinary, the Athletic Department staged its senior night on opening night, with all football players, cheerleaders and band members being honored before kickoff. With

that said, the pandemic has forced attendance protocols into place, leading to limited seating capacity for this year’s slate. But as with all problems, a solution is always somewhere around the corner. Harrison’s answer was a livestream of the contest with the Crusaders, a stream that topped out at 198 viewers on the school’s Youtube channel.

The Huskies were victorious in week one for the first time since 2016, a 52-41 victory over Claymont at home.

Looking ahead, we’ll see a revenge game with Toronto this week, followed by trips to Bellaire (9-12) and Union Local (9-18).

“We know how formidable our opponent is in week two.

After all, they beat us last year.

We need to be crisp, fundamentally sound and aggressive. They have a very good running game and a capable passer who has playoff experience. We like our guys and we trust that they will work hard to be prepared for what should be an exciting week two,” Hayes concluded.

Arnold to lead Harrison Central cross-country

By ED BANKS

News-Herald Sportswriter

CADIZ – Having senior Jasmine Arnold and her sister Destiny on the same cross country team is like having a double indemnity insurance policy, but in a positive light. The Arnold girls finished the 2018 season with a State CC Meet appearance, and finished their 2019 season competing in regional competition. They look to help the Harrison Central teams to yet another successful season and hopefully appearances in post season play.

Other Harrison Central girls running alongside the Arnolds, and also those hoping to make the squad are Grace Dulkoski, Maddy Edwards, Gretchen Dulkowski, and Sierra stull, Danielle Drapp, McKenzie Howell, Katie Byers and Rachel White.

In boys competition the Huskies

will have returning regional qualifier Logan Laney, who will be expected to be a leader for the team.

Running with Laney and those hopeful of making the squad are Charles Garbrandt, Luke Forrester, Avery Wallace, Aiden Hayes, Brent Malcomb, Thomas Sassek, Colton Howell, Bryace Wallace, Gavin Ray and Sean Drapp. Coaching the Husky Cross-Country Teams will be Doug Drapp and Christine Fireman. In other cross-country news, during this past weekend’s Claymont’s Early Bird CrossCountry Meet, Harrison’s Jasmine Arnold became the events girl’s top runner with a time of 20:45. Sister Destiny was seventh at a time of 22:53.

In the boys competition Harrison’s Logan Laney finished the event in ninth place. Martins Ferry was the boys winner as a team, and Buckeye Trail claimed the girls side of the meet.

WWII vet to celebrate 100 years

BY ESTHER MCCOY AMSTERDAM – As the American Legion salutes the 75th anniversary of World War II’s end, Robert Otto, more informally known as Rab by friends, the congenial gentleman who signed up for the U.S. Navy, is celebrating a 100-year birthday on Sept. 5. And his memory for all that happened during his service is still clear.

Otto tells that he dropped out of his senior year at Amsterdam High School to work in the coal mine, explaining that he thought he knew enough about schooling. But when he got to hearing about the signs of war, he signed up for the U.S. Navy, along with several of his pals from Amsterdam. They knew sooner or later that draft notices would be coming and they wanted to go to the Navy rather than the Army.

On Dec. 16, 1941, they were shipped to Newport, R.I. training base where it was freezing cold, he noted. Then it was off to Boston Naval base, with some of his friends

continuing to be with him.

They ended up on the USS Momsen Naval Destroyer and then to the Destroyer Grayson, an aircraft carrier.

The Enterprise was where he took part in the Doolittle Raiders, while crossing the Guadalcanal. As a gunner of a 20 mm machine gun, the young Otto was responsible for helping to shoot down a Japanese plane.

“You know, I was wondering what the airman’s mother would be feeling when she learned about his death and I was responsible.” he said with meaning. After that, they were ordered to sleep by their guns.

When the sister Meredith ship went down, the crew on his ship pulled 75 men out of oily water that was infested with sharks.

“They had shark bites and were covered with oil but they were saved. Some died at sea though,” he mentioned thoughtfully.

While he never traveled with the carrier the USS Hornet, when the men saw the insignia on the ship they all teared up, he noted, easily recalling incidents in the order of their happening.

Christmas was spent in New Zealand and not a bit like the holidays at home. Some of the crew brought a kangaroo aboard the ship and locked it in a room.

They were warned if another incident like that happened, they would be locked up on the ship. The long life sailor and all his ship mates were so happy when they reached Australia and the residents opened their home to them. “There was fresh milk to drink and homemade bread and butter to eat,” he said with a remembrance grin.

Regretfully, he was then transferred to the Azores Islands and had duty there, learning how to run a BM2 landing craft that no one knew how to operate.

While on the island, he encountered a friend from Amsterdam, Frank Samay. He also encountered Jack Anderson, a hometown neighbor. Two sailors were assigned to help operate the boat, with one believing from there he would be going on leave. “One sailor was upset when he found that this was not going to happen,

saying he had been there for quite a long time. I then told him I had not had a leave for two years.” And as luck would happen, a higher up heard the remark and Otto was sent home on leave, nothing was mentioned about the one who was complaining.

When arriving back to duty, the Amsterdam resident was sent to Oceanside, Calif. It was here that he met Ernest DuPont, one of the rich DuPonts and found that he was a really nice man.

In 1944, the Amsterdam resident found himself on the USS Napa, 4th Marine Division combat boat. From the Napa, they would invade Iwo Jima with LST landing ships. “There were already 60,000 from the Navy and 30,000 from the Marines. We had to get off the beach in a hurry and had to jump in any shell hole available.

My place of trying to hide must have had a shell landing nearby as there was all kinds of ash in it, along with a wounded member of the group. I got him to a ship and they got him medical help.

One of the helpers was Jim

Robert ‘Rab’ Otto

Stone from Bergholz or Amsterdam,” he said, trying to remember which village but at 100 years, it was great that he remembered so many incidents.

As what could eventually happen, Rab was wounded and after all the encounters with the enemy, in February or March, 1945, he traveled from Iwo Jima to a medical crew. After recovery, Commander DuPont wanted him to go back to sea being as he could pass a medical exam but he chose to be discharged on Aug. 10, 1945.

This is not the end of the story though. He came home and married Marian Miller, a farm girl from the area, in 1955. It had taken him a long time to adjust. “I was able to take part in the Doolittle raid and be at Guadalcanal on D-Day. Three years later, Iwo Jima ended my service,” he said.

He served as the Springfield constable, was post commander of the Amsterdam VFW, bailiff for the Jefferson County court in Richmond and a guard at Timet, where they called him Rab, rather than Bob. He likes books on railroads and has several bookcases filled with history and non-fiction works.

His daughter, Carol Sabatino, planned a small family birthday event. With the COVID-19 virus it would not be good to expose him to the disease, although he faced many more serious situations during his service to our nation.

He still has a happy disposition and a jolly laugh. In answer to the question. “Were you happy with all the places they sent you, he replied, “You go where they send you.”
