HOPEDALE – The Hopedale Mine that has produced coal as far back possibly to the 1950s, has finally come to a close and permanently. General Manager of the plant Randy Riddle spoke this week about the disappointing news but it wasn’t a

Har. Co. sees COVID explode to 15 new cases in past week

surprise.

The company had filed for bankruptcy earlier in the summer but no one really knew what would come out of that, but now they do.

“Long story short, they’re done working,” Riddle said bluntly. The crew was notified according to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) rules in regards to employees who are to be laid off. Riddle said they were finished working last Friday but it won’t be official until later in the month.

“Our technical last day is September eighteenth…that’s the last day that we’re paid,” Riddle stated. He explained the bankruptcy filing (Chapter 11) by Rhino Energy “and they sold all their assets.”

“There was no bidders in Hopedale so they sold each one of their operations,” Riddle said adding that Rhino owned plants all over the country, “so they sold them all and nobody was interested in

Hopedale.” He also felt COVID-19 had a little to do with it along with the entire coal industry being “depressed” as he called it.

Republican Chairman for Harrison County John Jones spoke this week about the closing and said that people can’t blame it all on the advent of natural gas. He stated that no one is producing coal-fired power plants anymore, or powering the steel industry for that matter, which basically points the spotlight back onto the natural gas industry as many power plants are now being powered with.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) the United States exports more coal than they import and roughly 15 percent of U.S. coal production is being exported.

The EIA states that the U.S. “produces most of the coal that it consumes,” it

The Hopedale Mine has closed leaving upwards of 110 employees without work, where work officially ended last Friday but technically, the date of Sept.

18 will be their last payday. The company that owns the mine, Rhino Resource Partners put it up for sale but no bidders came forth.

CADIZ – News of a COVID-19 outbreak was announced Sunday on the Harrison County Health Department’s Facebook page, which occurred at a local nursing home with a number reported to be nine.

Wednesday, at the Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting Health Administrator Garen Rhome announced that there was an outbreak of 10 new cases at The Meadows in Cadiz. But on Thursday, via email, Rhome announced an 11th case, which was an employee of the facility but who also does not reside in Harrison County. On top of that he also announced another new case, bringing Harrison County’s total for the week to 12 with the 11th not being the county resident but is connected with The Meadows outbreak. The 12th case, not associated with The Meadows is a 70 year-old male who has also been hospitalized.

Yet, later on Thursday Rhome texted that three more individuals have been tested positive at The Meadows with them all being employees for a whopping total of 15 cases just in the past week, with 14 of them being residents-10 residents and four staff.

This by far surpasses any case-count the county as seen in a week’s time. He said The Meadows has been cooperating fully and continues precautionary measures.

Rhome went on to say that Harrison

CADIZ – The village of Cadiz will be getting new software to handle their billing, it’s just a matter of time after Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski secures a more firm estimate, as was discussed at last Thursday’s meeting. At the previous meeting held in August Andrzejewski stated that the billing software for water and sewer was so outdated that it was costing the village huge sums of money, which he described well into six figures.

Council again discussed the issue where Andrzejewski said contact had been made with Muni Software as a possible supplier of the new software.

Andrzejewski said he suspects the problem lies in the debt service area but won’t know for sure until new software has been installed to compare the difference. Council took no action as they are waiting for a final dollar amount.

At the August meeting Andrzejewski said new software could cost anywhere from $30,000 to $35,000. But, he added that it could make that up possibly within six months with updated software and correct amounts being charged.

Also, Andrzejewski told council that water rates would not have to be raised beyond what is already planned.

“The analysis of the Water and Sewer rates is complete and was

Neal Cleaver of the Lions Club presents John Tabacchi Sr. with a plaque commemorating him as the Zone Lion of the Year. John was honored Monday on his 103rd birthday with a procession of police, sheriff and many friends who drove past his home honking and waving to the World War II veteran.

Cadiz’s John Tabacchi Sr. celebrates 103rd birthday

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – This past week Cadiz resident John Tabacchi Sr. celebrated his 103rd birthday and he did it in grand style, or rather it was done for him as a line of cars that seemed to string along a mile out, rode past his home as he sat in the front yard to witness the procession.

Monday’s parade began at the Scott Methodist Church winding around several streets till they reached Broadview Drive where John Sr. sat underneath a red umbrella waving as they all saluted him and honked their horns.

AREA

The procession was led by Sheriff Joe Myers and a slew of Cadiz police cruisers and a bunch of giddy people having a ball as they drove past the house on a breezy but pleasant day.

Tabacchi Sr., the World War II veteran had been honored by the Cadiz American Legion Post 34 earlier in the summer, when he was presented with a plaque and the American Legion’s Legionnaire of the year.

“I think that’s the longest lineup I’ve seen in a long while,” he told the gathering of family and friends huddling around him. Also present were District Governor of the Lions Club, Terry Snyder, Neal Cleaver and President of the

Cadiz Lions Club, Sam Bates where they presented him with another plaque commemorating his service.

Tabacchi Sr. served in Africa, Sicily and other parts of Italy and he did see action, as well.

Others present were Commander Steve Keesey of the Cadiz Lions Club, Ron Romshak and Don Richards who presented John with a birthday card and a little gift.

Next April Snyder said they would like to get John up to Akron for a surprise for their official flag folding ceremony and present him with the flag itself. But that’s a secret for now.

still imports coal to meet some of the domestic demands, which is still surprising. And one interesting tidbit from the EIA site was that some power plants fueled by coal see it cheaper to use imported coal than America’s own. “…Coal-burning power plants along the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Ocean sometimes find it cheaper to import coal from other countries than to obtain coal from U.S. coal-producing regions.

COVID From PG. 1

County has moved to Level 2 Orange on the Public Health Advisory System. “We trigger two out of the seven key indicators. Level 2 means that there is increased exposure and spread of COVID-19 in our community,” he said.

“Our department has contacted all known close contacts of the ten (before the additional four cases) positive cases,” Rhome said in a prepared statement later released. “Those close contacts are in quarantine protocols in accordance with the CDC and ODH

From PG. 1 presented to the Finance committee earlier,” he wrote in his report. He said the “small increases” scheduled for Jan.1, 2021 will remain as they are.

“We will monitor the rates on a quarterly basis to make sure that we have adequate funds to pay the loans and operations in both the water and sewer accounts,” Andrzejewski said in his report. He added that a full report of all the data would be released at the first meeting in October.

spoke highly of the employees at Hopedale Mine who supported the local communities.

“It is a loss of about 100 good paying jobs with good benefits,” he stated this week. “We are hopeful another company can see the benefits of a well trained and safety minded workforce wanting to go back to work.”

Riddle backed up those figures stating the company had anywhere from 110 to 112 employees. He felt the mine was doing well until COVID-19 hit, which caused them to “idle back” with power plants not taking coal.

“So, it’s somewhat related to the COVID,” he stated but added that it wasn’t all attributed to the virus while

noting the rise in natural gas usage and its competition.

“Yeah, it’s bad,” he said referring to the number of people losing their jobs. “There’s a lot of young guys and older guys, I mean it’s just a combination but it’s all local people for sure.”

Riddle said it was too soon to talk about the employees getting retrained and what their plans would be. at the Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting, Deb Knight of the department of Job & Family Services said some benefits available to anyone out of work are food stamps and Medicaid.

She said people could apply online by searching for “Ohio benefits” as well as OWF,

“which is our cash assistance program for families.” The shared services line she provided is: 844-640-6446. She also said their PRC program can help with gas money until a new employee “gets their first paycheck,” as well as providing other help.

“We’re proud of all the employees and the mine’s been a great performer for several years and a lot of dedicated employees that we’re going to miss,” Riddle said. “It was like a family out here, it really was.”

Riddle said there are still plenty of coal reserves in the ground but the future wasn’t looking too good for returning to that anytime soon.

guidelines. The staff and administration from The Meadows has been very cooperative in our combined efforts to slow and stop the spread.”

He said the range in ages was from 66 to 89 years with two individuals currently hospitalized. Rhome said this outbreak was no indictment on any individual or any particular habits, or capabilities but more of a “pervasiveness of the disease.” He also said this wasn’t anything new with what he’s seen throughout the state of Ohio, in other long-term care facilities.

Rhome also said the positivity rate rose above 4 percent with

the average stated as 4.3 percent.

He said last week it was around 3.8 percent but he attributed the rise to colleges and universities starting back up. He said the number would more than likely continue climbing as people congregate in large gatherings and college parties as an example.

“That number is going to continue to climb and here locally, we’re dealing with this now, which is unfortunate but again, I think, it took this long it’s a pretty good indication of a good job that folks have done so far,” Rhome explained.

When asked about isolation practices at the facility Rhome said all of those infected that are

not hospitalized, have been placed in their own wing and separated from the others.

“All cases are in one section of the facility and the contact tracing and close contacts are still associated with that section of the facility…” Rhome answered. He stated that facility personnel are doing everything they can do and were doing it before the outbreak.

“Can’t ever point a finger and lay blame on anybody,” Rhome stated, “the facility, the administration, the nurses there, the director of nursing, they’re doing a great job…that’s all we can ask them to do. We hope these folks get through it and have some more time with their loved ones.”

A rate increase may be coming to what the village charges Harrison County for purchasing water. He said a meeting had already been conducted with the county water board to discuss the matter.

“The water board asked for the opportunity to discuss our proposal and will get back to us next week,” Andrzejewski wrote.

The last rate increase was back in 2013.

Another issue discussed was the police department and how to keep officers from leaving. It was announced that another officer would be leaving, which was expected according to Chief Ryan McCann’s previous

statements.

McCann said he was willing to hold at seven officers, down from the usual nine he’s had if he can get higher pay for his officers.

“We can run it just the way we do it now,” he said with seven officers on the job. He also expects to lose one more officer in the near future with the one having finished up on Sunday.

Andrzejewski said ideas are being looked at as discussion has been well underway. McCann said a police committee meeting is scheduled for Sept. 15, which is open to the public where the issue will continue.

Some of the ideas openly

discussed were to give a new officer a week’s vacation in their first year instead of waiting a whole year for that benefit.

Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros said the idea of having a new officer pay back what is spent on training if they don’t stay for three years could be explored, as well.

In other items, an emergency ordinance was approved for the hiring of a cleaning person “with federal coronavirus aide funds.”

The cost comes to $8,432.52.

Andrzejewski also thanked the Cadiz Visitor’s Center for paying half the new banners in town.

The Cadiz Business Association paid for the other half.

Scio asks businesses, individuals to step forward for COVID relief

BY BONNIE RUTLEDGE SCIO - Scio is one of the many towns to receive COVID-19 compensation due to the declared state of emergency that so negatively affected the economy. The Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) is a local government assistance program from the State of Ohio that awards money to cities and villages based on their needs. To date, Scio has received over $26,000 and may be expecting another $14,000 by the years’ end.

The CRF money is in the hands of the village to dispense.

Village council must compile and submit a list of businesses, families and individuals directly impacted by the pandemic. The

State will then approve or deny each recipient on the list.

Businesses, families or individuals must provide some form of proof that losses occurred in a reasonable timeframe correlated to COVID-19 in order to qualify for funding approval.

Scio council is asking the public to step forward to be included on their list. The money will automatically be refunded to the state if it is not secured soon. Contact Heidi Trice, Village Clerk-Treasurer, at 740-945-5571, ext. 1 to be added to the list and to learn more about providing proof of losses. A public meeting with the coronavirus relief fund committee will be held in the coming weeks.

Adena ponders oil & gas street lease

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com ADENA – Mayor Brenda Roski opened their Tuesday council meeting with an offer from Ascent Resources for $2,500 to lease out two Adena streets. Roski said she was told by people handling the legal side it was a good deal “because they are not buying or, giving big money away anymore right now.”

“If you want to hold on to it, hold on to it, we’re talking two streets that’s it, two streets. For twenty-five hundred bucks for two little streets [but] that’s up to you,” Roski stated.

Roski gave council the option to hold on and wait for further discussion or they could approve the deal now. Treasurer Cindy Hunter read the official wording and laid it out for council to deal with.

“They have applied to the Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) for an application for unitization (a property they want to do work on)” Hunter read. The area in question was announced as Horseshoe Alley on Blairmont Road and described as a “gross lease (flat rent fee and all costs).”

Roski also stated she wished to have a Road Use Maintenance Agreement (RUMA) included but explained that it wasn’t possible as the village does not contain a well within its limits.

After discussing what further work Village Solicitor Adam Martello had to do it was suggested they call him on speakerphone where he was attending another meeting he had to be. Martello stated much of the elements within were “ticky-tack stuff that clarifies issues down the road for us…” Martello did tell council he felt the village was okay with the lease but added

some elements he wished to change.

“What they sent us appears to be a gross lease but there’s some things that are missing that they would typically take deductions for,” Martello said then explained some of those issues. He said those deductions were not omitted from the lease presented to the village.

“So the big thing there is transportation, that’s a huge cost for them that would typically be deducted in a gross lease,” Martello explained. “And what they sent us does not exclude transportation costs.” He added that what would have to change is either “blanket language” stating that there would be no deductions costs “of the amount made off the oil and gas” or, at least wording that states transportation exclusion.

Roski stated she wanted nothing taken out of the village’s end when Martello was winding down his talk of Ascent’s counter to possible deductions being taken out, and the wording to that.

Martello stated it would be okay for council to vote on executing the lease upon his working out the details of the transportation issue, after Council Member RJ Konkoleski suggested as such.

Martello also told council to make sure they were satisfied with the level of compensation or whether they want him to ask for more.

“At the end of the day, it’s like two streets and alleys and it’s not a whole lot of land so you can’t expect a hundred thousand dollars in compensation for it,” he told them. Council took no further action until Martello is satisfied with the final details, which include zero deductions regarding transportation.

Commissioners resume Jewett discusses deposit talks about new county jail issues, new accounts

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Just several weeks removed from the Harrison County Commissioners approving an agreement with the law firm of Bricker & Eckler for completing calculations and estimates on the possibility of a new jail, a local businessman appeared before board members on Wednesday with questions.

Jim Milleson asked the commissioners if there was an active purchase agreement to buy the property and/or building that the U.S. Armory sits.

Commissioner Paul Coffland told him that the county is not buying it but that the agreement, as of now, is through a federal program.

“We, I believe how it’s worded is we have an option at this point but we do have possession,” he explained. He added that within the agreement for the county takeover is for “certain use restrictions when you apply for surplus property.” He stated that the sheriff’s office, in particular Sheriff Joe Myers, applied for the property under the purposes of law enforcement.

“There are other options available,” Coffland continued, “so, what we did was move forward with that...” He said the commissioners are now exploring ways to build a jail, and at what size. Funding for the project could come via USDA grants but he speculated that the option was for around three years. Myers said, when contacted on Thursday, was that the jail was to begin in “two years.”

“We could go back and either re-apply under a different use, or we could say, ‘look, we can’t use this property for this intended use,’” Coffland explained.

Commissioner Don Bethel said they are at the stage of figuring out what the sheriff’s office budget is now and what would it be with a new jail. This would include how many new employees would the sheriff need and would a kitchen be needed or would meals be brought in?

“A lot of things are still unknown…” Bethel said with Coffland explaining that Bricker & Eckler are to work the construction and funding side of things. He said after conferring with USDA and Bricker & Eckler looking at the financials of the county, they would qualify for USDA funding. He added that USDA still has some questions that needed answering and the county is in the process of providing those answers.

“The sheriff’s levy’s, what are they worth? How often do they have to be renewed?” Coffland answered as some of those questions needing answered. He said another issue was not just meeting the service debt but could the county actually maintain the new facility.

“So that’s where we are,” Coffland said. “We are looking at budget numbers [and] the sheriff is looking at budget numbers…” The number of employees needed was another angle to be looked at and once all questions were answered there would be a request for proposals and qualifications involving architects and engineers, followed by the design phase.

When asked about other funding sources such as using the ad valorem tax, Coffland stated that by the time the state is finished filtering out all the dollars, there isn’t much left where he quoted the figure of around 5-7 percent, “depending on what levies are where and where the activity is.” Plus, he noted that ad valorem is paid more than a year later and if the oil and gas industry continues to sputter, there would be even less money to use from that. He did say a study for a two-year projection on ad valorem revenue is being discussed.

Bethel continued the discussion where the dilemma still exists on the amount of office space versus actual jail space. Myers has been public with his interest in an 80bed facility but Bethel has been opposed to that number stating that the most the county has ever housed at one time was 39.

“I’m always under the impression that jails were meant to punish people, not to use it for business to make money,” Bethel explained referring to the possibility of housing other neighboring county’s prisoners, as they are now doing for Harrison County. Bethel has been adamant that they do not want to go to the public for another levy but be cautious on what they do with their oil and gas revenue.

“We’ve been without a new jail for a hundred years, I’m not going to rush into this,” he said.

“It’s not something that needs done tomorrow.”

JEWETT – Last Wednesday’s council meeting in Jewett led to a lengthy discussion regarding landowners and tenants and their deposits. A transition period also complicates things with the new waterlines being put in and new accounts sprouting from the old.

Clerk of Water & Public Affairs Rhonda Harris said the new 25-cent raise per 1,000 gallons would be added to the next bill as well. But the discussion was then taken over concerning who should be receiving the bill with deposits in mind and covering overdue bills.

Harris asked if she needed to let customers know she would be taking the amount the customer’s owe, out of their deposit and returning the remainder. Village Solicitor Jenna Hokes said a 30-day notice would need to be sent to the customer stating that the “new system is active and you must turn it over into the name of the property owner.”

She continued by stating that the customer has 30 days to pay any balance and if not paid, then it would be collected from the deposit.

“If there is any money left you will receive that back,” Hokes explained adding that the account is basically being shut down and a new one starting over. She said if there is no deposit down that would have

to be paid as well.

“No one is grandfathered now,” Hokes said of the old accounts transitioning. Harris said there was more than 65 rental properties in Jewett as of now. When Council Member Rick Meneely asked why the deposit couldn’t be transferred to the landowner, he was told it could be done “if the renter agrees to turn it over.” Meneely feared that some renters will have their remaining water bills taken out of the deposit and pocket the rest without putting up the $200 deposit now required for the new account.

Hokes said that is between the renter and landowner.

“As a business what we are saying is you have thirty days to figure this out if you haven’t paid your bill in that thirty days, we’re going to close the account, take the money we have in escrow apply it to the balance, if there’s money left over…you cannot turn that over to the landowner,” Hokes explained.

She said the tenant must put it in writing that the money would go back to the landowner.

Hokes also said the EPA’s ban on turning customer’s water off for unpaid bills was over in July and she is proceeding with evictions “in county court as though we are normal, there is nothing stopping any of my work right now.”

“I’m not going to police what people do with their properties,” Hokes told council and repeated the comment that an agreement is between the landowner and tenant over the remaining water

deposit money.

Hokes clarified the point that ultimately, the landowner is responsible for unpaid bills when all is said and done. When Council Member Dennis Hirschbach said the homeowner should “collect from his renters,” Meneely shot back stating that the village is the one selling the water and it should be their responsibility to collect that money.

“Not the landowner, I’m not selling water to them the village is,” he told council. Hirschbach stressed that the ordinance must be uniformed, “you can’t pick and choose who you can enforce the law or set the law to.”

Hokes said they were arguing over semantics and told Meneely, “it’s all going to be the same at the end of the day.”

Meneely repeated that he, as a landlord, should not have to go chasing renters to pay their bills but Hokes said the bill would still be in the landowners name.

Harris then stated that in their letter to the homeowner they should have the option of having the bill mailed to them or to the renter.

“That takes care of the whole thing,” Meneely said. But he added that the village should be able to shut a customer off once the deposit amount has been reached. He didn’t have a problem with the bill being less than $100 over the deposit amount of $200, it’s the excessive amounts he was concerned with as he’s stated in past meetings.

Robert W. Bond Robert W. Bond, 84, a lifelong resident of Londonderry Township, passed away on Sept. 6, 2020 at Altercare with his family by his side. He was born on May 15, 1936 to the late Verland Major Bond and Mary Shipley Bond Carter. He graduated from Madison High School in 1954 and married his high school sweetheart Donna Evelyn Chase Bond on March 24, 1956. They started the family farm which grew to around 600 acres with beef cattle, sheep, and horses with an occasional milk cow and pigs.

In high school Robert “Bob” received the State Farmer Degree and was elected State Treasurer of the FFA. In 1970, he was named Outstanding Young Farmer by the Cambridge Jaycees.

Good News

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

The God who pursues you In my high school days, there was nothing worse for guy to hear than “Big Frankie is looking for you.”

This was not good news. But, the best news any sinner can hear is, “God is looking for you.”

His pursuit of you began before you were born and that’s a good thing. In Psalm 139 David wrote, “You go before me and follow me.

I’m never out of your sight. You place your hand of blessing on my head; I can never escape from your Spirit.” You can never run from God. And even when you distance yourself from God, He still pursues you. He pursued Adam in The Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:9 “Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” Did God have a lapse in

omnipotence? No, He knew exactly where Adam was, and He knows where you are.

Adam hid from God because of his sin. Millions of people are doing the same thing today, but God is graciously still asking His creation “Where are you?” He is pursuing because it His desire that everyone be saved. Jesus said in Luke’s gospel “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are pursuing you. John Wesley called it “prevenient grace”, the act of God putting things in motion for every individual’s salvation.

How does He do that?

Many times, the Holy Spirit crafts life events and uses people, known and unknown to you, in

his pursuit of you. It could be an evangelist, a co-worker, or a relative. But He uses whatever it takes in His pursuit of the lost. In chapter 15 of Luke’s gospel Jesus is surrounded, as usual, by Scribes and Pharisees complaining that Jesus spent too much time with sinners and tax collectors. That’s when Jesus revealed His heart and that of the Father by preaching three of His most memorable parables; the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Lost (Prodigal) son.

“If a man has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? When he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, calls his friends and says, ‘Rejoice with me, I found my sheep which was lost!’

There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than

over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” What a great picture of the mercy of God, we wander off and He, in His great mercy, comes looking for us. He is the God who pursues us. And he rejoices when He finds us. When we become a covenant child of God, we can lay claim to Zephaniah 3:17 “For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior.

He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will quiet all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

It’s a tall order for some people to believe that the God of the universe is rejoicing over them with singing, but scripture declares it so. Isn’t it great to be pursued?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR VETERAN QUESTIONS TRUMP As a U.S. Army Nurse Corp veteran who cared for many seriously wounded Vietnam soldiers and as the daughter of a World War II POW, I strongly object to President Trump’s disgraceful, dishonorable, and incorrect characterization of wounded or captured

ENDORSEMENT FOR JOSH WILLIS Dear Editor, The Kidder Law Firm, Nomad Title and I endorse Joshua Willis for re-election as Harrison County Recorder. As a law firm and title agency regularly engaged in real estate matters, we have daily interactions with the County Recorder’s office and first-hand experience with the many changes made by Mr. Willis to streamline all aspects of real estate transactions that involve the County Recorder.

During his tenure as Harrison County

VOTING BY MAIL Voting by mail should replace voting at the polls in its entirety. The two institutions that can definitely be trusted is the County Board of Elections and the United States Postal Service. The money saved by eliminating the need for poll workers could be used to offer free postage on the envelopes used to vote by

military service members as “losers and suckers.”

My father was a U.S Navy sailor in the Pacific when Pearl Harbor was bombed.

Later he was among thousands captured by the Japanese on Corregidor who fought until their ammunitions ran out.

He was sent to a horrific POW camp for three and one-half years. Thus, I have firsthand knowledge of the sacrifices faced by service members in our nation’s wars.

My father was neither a “loser” or a

“sucker.” Mr. Trump has dishonored all our heroes. He has irrevocably demonstrated his inability to understand what military service stands for and therefore, should not be commander-inchief. I am proud to be a Veteran and will vote for Joe Biden who has shown unqualified respect for all service members.

Recorder, Mr. Willis has implemented the transfer of the vast majority of records to an online format, thereby making searches quick, easy, and seamless. In addition to providing the online format, Mr. Willis also provided a feature to permit persons using the system to download documents direclty without the need for printing.

This saves the users of the system both time and money. This is a significant achievement and one which directly benefits our clients and the citizens of Harrison County.

Mr. Willis and all the staff at the Harrison County Recorder’s office have proven to be both caring and helpful when requests for further information

have to be made, either in person or remotely from our offices outside of the County. Mr. Willis has also worked closely with other departments in Harrison County, notably the Harrison County Auditor’s office to ensure transparency and cooperation between departments for the benefit of all real estate owners in Harrison County.

I am confident that Mr. Willis has the experience and proven track record to lead the Harrison County Recorder’s office into the next decade.

mail.

The person voting would also have more time to consider what they are voting for and would not be confined to the hours of the polling place. It would also prevent unwanted entry to schools and churches from anyone trying to harm someone.

In addition, the voter would not be harassed by someone trying to place unsolicited campaign literature into their hand. The additional revenue would

boost the Postal Service and perhaps keep it afloat until we as a country are able to vote online.

Voting by mail would solve the registered voter problem and guarantee safe passage of the ballots to the County Board of Elections. It might even prevent further spread of the Covid-19 Virus.

BY ESTHER MCCOY The McHigh gang celebrated a pre-Labor Day indoor picnicdinner at our house on Sunday.

It has been years since we all got together for loads of great food, some games and lots of talk. Ages ranged from 83 ½ to a recently turned 4-year-old.

If you can imagine chicken fingers, spare ribs, hot dogs, cheesy potatoes, homemade mac and cheese, stuffed pepper soup, potato salad, baked beans, deviled eggs, pickled beets, veggie bar appetizers, pineapple/cheese casserole, great Federico’s bread, cole slaw, a jello dessert, strawberry triffle and cookies so you will know the dining room table nearly groaned. We had to stretch it over lunch and dinner, as there was so much food that it wasn’t

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | CORRESPONDENCE possible to eat all those great foods at one setting.

Lamont and I put out our collection of small American flags along County Road 20 in our vicinity, just like we have done for Memorial Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July and now Labor Day. We have had some nice comments on the flags and feel good about doing it. Some of the days the ground was very hard from the lack of rain and it was hard to shove the stakes in the ground.

We were so saddened to hear of Frank Cybuski ‘s death. He is the father to Tim Cybulski, a wonderful friend of our now deceased son, Larry. The two got to know each other in working in the same White Room department at Timet.

They spent many hours on the lakes. Dropping a line hoping a hungry fish would grab the lure. We grieve with you Tim and Thelma.

Lloyd Boyd a resident of Smithfield all his life and a real joy to be around because he could always make you laugh, died the first of September. He had been struggling with his health for some time but before that he loved to go to a hunting cabin and just hang out with nature. His wife, Mary Ann, stayed by his as side as much as possible in dialysis and his children, Debbie, David, Darla and Doug are all-grieving.

Big fourth quarter powers Huskies to second win

NH Photos | DJ WATSON

Harrison tailback James Brooks looks for room in the first half of last Friday’s game against Toronto. Brooks finished with 96-yards rushing on eight carries, adding three touchdowns in the 55-23 win.

By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – It was another somewhat strange night at Wagner Field last Friday in Harrison County. For starters, the Huskies didn’t touch the ball on offense until nearly midway through the second quarter. The Toronto Red Knights executed the game of “keep away” to near perfection in the early going, as special teams play pushed the game into a non-traditional start. For closers, headed into the fourth quarter, Harrison held just a slim a 28-23 lead. A lead that before the final horn sounded, had blown up to 55-

23 as the Huskies moved their 2020 campaign off to a 2-0 start.

As the clock ticked under nine minutes in the opening quarter, Harrison’s two-way star Kobe Mitchell was more than ready to break into the scoring column.

However, it was uncharacteristically from the defensive side of the ball, as the athletic senior stepped in front of a Caleb Leasure pass and returned it 55-yards for the game’s opening touchdown.

After a blocked PAT, the Huskies held a 6-0 lead with 8:46 to go in the first.

Toronto’s Garrett Dozier was the center-piece of the Red Knights offensive attack much

of the night, and he got his team on the board on the ensuing offensive possession. Dozier capped off a drive that chewed up five minutes and 39 seconds of game clock with an iso play up the middle from six yards out. The Red Knights PAT sailed wide left, and the 6-6 score would hold through the end of the opening frame.

“We knew that this game was going to be a slugfest. Toronto needed to make it an old fashioned boxing match and we needed to play fast and make it a track meet,” remarked Harrison Central Head Coach Anthony Hayes. “Toronto has a really good running game and they are very big up front. For a

Harrison’s Kobe Mitchell breaks through the Toronto Red Knight defense. Mitchell finished with a total of four touchdowns last weekend. Two passing, one rushing, and one on defense in the Huskies (2-0) 55-23 victory.

quarter and a half, Toronto capitalized on that. It’s hard to get into a rhythm on offense when you don’t touch the ball until 7- minutes are left on the second quarter clock. That was on me. I didn’t do a good enough job of getting our kids ready to play from the start. We had a big pick-six early by Kobe (Mitchell) but then they went on to execute their game-plan and we simply didn’t for a period of time,” he continued.

Special teams would enter the storyline once again when after the Red Knights opening score, they pulled off a surprise onside kick to once regain set up camp on offense. Keeping the ball out of Mitchell’s hands was working,

as the visitors used up eight minutes of clock spanning the end of the first and five minutes of the second quarter on their second scoring drive. It was 13 straight running plays that landed the Red Knights in the end-zone. The 50-yard scoring drive was topped off by Dozier again, the second time around it was from one yard out. A successful two point conversion made it 14-6 Red Knights with 7:11 remaining in the first half.

After the Red Knights scored to take the lead, it was finally time to put the explosive offensive unit on the field for Hayes and the Huskies. A methodical drive followed, as Mitchell went four of five

passing, with James Brooks filling a complimentary role in the ground game. It was Brooks who finished it off, crossing the goal-line from two yards out.

Mitchell let loose a laser on the two point conversion pass, connecting with none other than Brooks to tie the game up at 14-14.

After Toronto abandoned the run game, Harrison’s defense found their footing, forcing a turnover on downs with under a minute to go before the break.

Even with time not in their favor, the Huskies quickly found a way to take back the lead. One

Bobcats defeat Huskies boys soccer 7-2

By JULIE MARSHALL CAMBRIDGE — On Saturday, Sept. 5, the battle under a breezy blue sky in Cambridge was, according to head coach Derek Gramling, “hard for the Huskies who were missing key players in the middle” due to injuries during previous games. The Bobcats pounced from the center spot and gave the Huskies goalkeeper “more practice than we wanted,” said Gramling.

Junior goalie Mack Marshall logged a whopping 22 saves during the match. As well,

sophomore Kaden Jurosko and senior Luke Forrester anchored the back four clearing many of the Bobcat’s advances.

The first half ended with the Bobcats on top 6-0 and although the Huskies were dominated during the first half, they did outscore the Bobcats in the second. With 17:16 left on the clock senior Jack Novotny’s dink into the air provided the perfect opportunity for a header by junior Jacob Mattern to put the Huskies on the board 6-1.

Four minutes later Cambridge scored their only goal in the second half to make it 7-1.

Then with 5:47 left to play, Marshall’s punt set up a Novotny pass to senior Brady Positano who promptly deposited the ball in the net.

The final score was 7-2.

“Although we didn’t win, they should be proud of the way they played the second half,” commented Gramling. The Huskies were back in action on Thursday, Sept. 10 at Oak Glen, and then are scheduled for a home game Tuesday, Sept. 15 against Indian Creek at 7 p.m., and again on Thursday, Sept. 17 against St. Clairsville at 6 p.m.

CADIZ – Harrison Central’s varsity volleyball would be at home last Monday, then on the road the following Monday to face Indian Creek and Barnesville, respectively. The two outings turned out favoring the opponents.

Zone 7 Lions Club meets in Mingo

By ESTHER McCOY MINGO – A social distancing cookout was observed when the Zone 7 Lions Club meeting was held at the Aracoma Park picnic shelter on Sept. 1. Jeff Schultz, Mingo Lions president, provided and prepared the food for the event. John Stine, Zone 7 chairman, brought the meeting to order and led the pledge to the flag. The invocation was given by William John.

After the meal, attended by presidents and some of their members from Mingo Junction, Brilliant, Steubenville, Toronto and Richmond, Sam Bates, Cadiz Lions Club president and chairman for Toys for Tots, displayed some older toys kept from his son’s youth. This included a toy dump truck, too old to even be a Buddy L version; a jointed teddy bear from early years; and the tracks from an electric train.

His son had confiscated the train years earlier. New toys are being collected and need to be brought to the next district meeting or delivered to Bates. The toys need to be new age appropriate and will be distributed to youth who would not get a gift from Santa otherwise.

Terry Snyder, Lions district governor, reported on Lions Club Service Week to be observed Oct. 4 to 10 and reminded district chairmen that their commitment forms needed to be turned in. Bill

Bill Snyder (left), past president of the Mingo Lions Club, presented Sam Bates, Cadiz Lions Club president, with a perfect attendance medallion at the Zone 7 meeting held at the Aracoma Prk and was hosted by the Mingo Lions Club.

Snyder, Mingo Lions Club past president, reminded members again about the collection of plastic bottle caps and pop tabs and Stine had a gathering of both that had been turned over to him.

The Brilliant Lions had a sizable collection at a spring

meeting and turned them over to Snyder at that time.

The district governor reported on the Happy Paws first half year zone project under way and reported that a second half zone project would be discussed at a later meeting. Pediatric Cancer is

another project to be undertaken by the district, it was reported.

An open round table was held with zone chairmen reporting on their projects and plans. Despite the COVID19 restrictions, there are projects being accomplished.

HUSKIES From PG. 6

play and 71-yards later, the home squad was back in front for good following a perfectly executed pass from Mitchell into the hands of Trevor Carman. Carman out-sprinted two Toronto defenders on his way to the promised land, and with just 18 seconds to go in the half the Huskies had taken a 2014 advantage.

It was a game of momentum swings, and the third quarter was nothing but a roller coaster on the pendulum. First came a Harrison interception, setting the Red Knights up just short of midfield. Then came a three and out from the Toronto offense, and a botched snap out of the punt formation. The Huskies took over on downs at the Red Knights three yard-line, setting up a one play scoring drive for James Brooks.

Mitchell scrambled in for the two point conversion to make it 28-14 with 8:39 to go in the quarter.

However, Toronto wasn’t done just quite yet.

The Red Knights scored nine straight points to close out the third, cutting the Huskies lead down to five. The sequence included Harrison returning the favor of an errant punt snap, leading to a safety that followed Toronto’s prior touchdown.

Even with a close game headed into the fourth, Hayes was very impressed with his team’s ability to push past some adversity.

“Our kids showed great resilience and battled through it all. When things were tight, they showed some maturity in handling the situation under pressure. I am proud of them and my staff for making the adjustments and pushing forward. We play a lot of young kids (two freshmen) in the starting lineup. We got strong leadership from our experienced players that really helped to get

us back on track. The second half came around and we turned it on, specifically in the fourth quarter. Momentum is a dangerous thing. It can break you or it can break your opponent. We were fortunately able to break them. We talk to our young men all of the time about keeping our foot on the gas. Push the opposition and don’t let up,” Hayes stated with some conviction.

A scoring frenzy unfolded for the Huskies in the fourth.

Brooks would add a 32-yard touchdown run, then Mitchell jumped in with a 63-yard touchdown sprint. Mitchell found Carman on a 13-yard connection for six, and freshman Hayden Cassidy capped off all scoring when he tossed Gabe Marbais a pitchcatch-and run score from 15-yards out. Placekicker Jace Madzia was good on three of those four PAT attempts.

The trio of Mitchell, Carman, and Brooks led the charge offensively for the Huskies.

Mitchell finished seven for ten passing, with 128-yards and two touchdowns. He also added 57yards on the ground on six carries with a score. Carman hauled in four catches for 105yards and two touchdowns through the air. While Brooks capped it off with 96-yards on eight carries and three touchdowns.

Nathan Bertolino was once again a force on defense, racking up a combined 14 tackles (solo and assist). Caleb Cowans was big on the curtain side of the ball as well, combining for ten tackles, one of those for a loss, while also recovering a fumble.

Mitchell finished with a combo of 12 tackles, one interception and a defensive touchdown; and in addition Carman added six tackles with an interception.

Senior Ron Pauley proved a solid anchor also, finishing with a shared 10 tackles.

Huskies wideout Trevor Carman (5) busts off a tackle near the home sideline. Carman had four catches, for 105-yards and two touchdowns.

Warrant issued for one, evaluation for others

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – For Errol Swaby, the Scio resident will have to wait for his case to move forward as he’s been ordered to have a competency evaluation. Swaby is facing a count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor (fourth degree felony), which carries a possible 18-month penalty with a Tier 2 description where he would have to register for 25 years as a sex offender.

Another charge of sexual imposition, a misdemeanor of the third degree carries a possible 60-day sentence and a Tier 1 offense.

Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese told the court that some statements made by Swaby

along with “odd behavior at arraignments” led him to believe he would need the evaluation.

Swaby also appeared via videoconference without an attorney and stated at his last appearance that he wished to not have one, which Bruzzese said made it more difficult for him to interact with the defendant when no one was counseling him.

Vincent Kramer of Cadiz who is facing aggravated possession of drugs, a felony of the fifth degree, was issued a warrant for his arrest as he failed to appear in court.

Kain Grim, also of Cadiz, is scheduled to take an Ohio Risk Assessment (ORAS) as he is facing a charge of corrupting another with drugs, a felony of

the fourth degree.

Kevin Scott was sentenced to two years of Community Based Control after pleading guilty to grand theft of a motor vehicle, a felony of the third degree.

Also, Georgine Elmore, represented by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola, is facing three charges: aggravated possession of drugs, obstructing official business (misdemeanor) and criminal trespass (F4).

Elmore is considering pleading out in exchange for Intervention In Lieu of Conviction (IILC) but will have to wait one week before evaluations come through, which are necessary for this arrangement.

Bruzzese said he would consider the IILC but wants to wait on some results.

Bad news for Scio’s East College Street flooding

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE SCIO - The infamous East College Street intersection that so often floods and inhibits traffic flow has been a perpetual struggle for the village of Scio.

The storm drain that was connected to the sewer line before the EPA existed has been out of code since and is pending to cost the village a hefty sum to fix it.

The flooding on the road is a constant reminder of how the oil and gas semi trucks crushed the underground structures years ago. Scio has captured funding to the tune of $500K in oil and shale grant money to fix the intersection, but they are still short $250K. The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grant the village was banking on fell through this week, leaving Scio scrambling to find the rest of the

funding. The oil and shale grant is only available through December, so if Scio fails to meet the difference, they may have to close a lane and make that section of 646 a one-way street.

The Thrasher Group, who is the civil engineering/grant writing firm hired to make this project a reality, broke the news to the council this week and left quickly on a solemn note.

There are still grants available

to apply for and the group has high hopes that the project will not fail, though they “cannot guarantee the desired outcome.”

Gables shows appreciation to Har. Co. Hospital Gables Care Center showed their appreciation to the frontline heroes of Harrison Community Hospital by purchasing breakfast for the staff on Wednesday. Thanks went out to Kathy and the dietary staff at the hospital for preparing an amazing array of food. Left to right are: Kevin Case, Pam Parrish, SW and Bev Lengyel, Executive Assistant.

JVS Starts New Year with Altered Instruction BLOOMINGDALE- The new school year officially kicked off at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School but COVID-19 has impacted how it operates its programs.

School began under a new hybrid model with only juniors attending classes on Thursday while seniors followed suit on Friday. Students spent their first days becoming acclimated with teachers, classrooms and labs but will face a schedule of all-day labs at school and online academic courses at home. The plan is to have one class appear Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the other on Tuesday and Thursday, then their schedules will alternate the next week. Dr. Phillipson said this would reduce the number of students in the school and improve the ability to socially distance.

Students arrived wearing face masks and were greeted by new school nurse Connie Shea, who directed them to a thermal scanner before permitting entry. She said typical protocol dictates that any student with a temperature above 100.4 degrees would be placed separately and have their temperature read again, and should they remain high the parents would be contacted to retrieve them. Floors throughout the building are lined with arrows directing foot traffic and signs enforcing the six-foot social distance standard, plus restroom occupancy has been limited to three people at a time and hand sanitizers are readily available for use.

Principal Dan Hartman said the opening went well and everyone was simply trying to adjust to their altered instruction.

"Everything we're putting into place has been effective," said Hartman. "The kids understand what we're doing is for their benefit and are trying their best to adapt just as the adults have. With this being a new situation, I've found that we've done the best we could in the shortest amount of time and I think they are going to be okay."

"It's gone well," added Assistant Principal Andrew Long. "I think the kids quickly adjusted and the next week should be awesome when they get into the all-day labs."

Meanwhile, classrooms and labs were outfitted with Plexiglas dividers while more were added to tables in the cafeteria. Students were called out to dine according to program in order to reduce the amount of people in the room.

Jefferson County Joint Vocational School Assistant Principal Andrew Long, at left, reviews changes made in the cafeteria with culinary arts instructor Glen Zalenski, at center, and Principal Dan Hartman to enact social distancing between students as a result of the COVID-19 virus. The school formally reopened on Aug. 27 with juniors attending that Thursday and seniors on Friday and pupils will run on an alternating schedule with all-day labs at school and academic classes online. Among other safety measures are Plexiglas dividers, face masks, thermal scanners and hand sanitizing stations while officials said public services such as salon treatments in the cosmetology lab will cease for the time being.)

School officials and maintenance personnel collected trash and cleaned the tables with electrostatic sprayers between lunch periods in order to keep the area safe.

Changes have also occurred with programs, which can no longer provide public service. Gone for now are salon treatment in the cosmetology lab, dog grooming in the small animal science program, dining in the Crestview Inn Restaurant by culinary arts students and even the biannual American Red Cross blood drives conducted by health technology program.

"We want to minimize the number of people, so we will not be having customers," said Small Animal Science instructor Emily Moore. "We will only work with staff's animals for now."

Early Childhood Education instructor Becky Kelley is taking fewer kids in the preschool program, with the number of participants halved to only 12 tykes. The preschoolers will start Sept. 21 and she will accommodate the change by providing more individual activities for the little ones. Her students' classroom has also been moved into the main ECE area and a large Plexiglas divider will split the room for instruction and activities while students' tables are socially distanced. Still, she

remains positive after being parted from her pupils since spring.

"I'm happy to have [the students] back," Kelley said. "I'm looking forward to a great year even though it's different."

Transition To Work Instructor Christina Henderson said her 11 students will no longer offer their school store or work off-site as they have done in the past, so she has gotten creative to build their skills.

"We are digging deep and getting creative. I've ordered three vocational kits to train students in sorting, piecework and filing, so we're bringing the job skills we can to them," she said. "We're still doing laundry with labs and daily living skills working in the kitchen, and we're working with students shadowing in the other labs to learn more job skills. We will accommodate and overcome.

We are going to make the most of it just like everybody else."

Superintendent Dr. Todd Phillipson said the changes were unfortunate but the purpose was important.

"We're disappointed in the limited amount of customer service the students can do and we'll try to do what we can within state and local guidelines, but our best interests are in the safety of students and staff."
