Final Harrison County Trail Plan revealed

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – On Wednesday the Harrison County Commissioners approved of a “Technical Assistance Agreement” with the Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition (OECC). The term of the agreement is for three years running through 2021, which came after two years in the works, according to Dan Rice, president of the OECC. The scope of the OECC services listed are as follows, which include: Assisting the county’s trail advisory committee to help with development of the trail’s master plan; work with various county entities in implementing a strategy for the trail plan; assist with fundraising; coordinate public engagement with various local interests and organizations; develop public and private partnerships for leveraging various resources for implementing the

trail plan and assist with identifying potential trail opportunities throughout the county among many other responsibilities.

Also included in the agreement is the payment by the county of $15,000 “per year” to OECC for the services they’ll receive.

“We’re extremely excited,” Rice told the board as he began his presentation accompanied with several maps.

“Because this marks a significant moment in the development of the trail plan.” He talked of meeting various entities such as, the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) and Buckeye Trail and Conotton Creek Trail associations for the opportunity of being thorough in their planning.

He said he was pleased at the feedback received from the type of people who enjoy the outdoors such as, cyclists, horseback riders and walkers. He called

Harrison County “neatly situated” as it’s positioned between the Ohio-Erie Towpath Trail and Great Allegheny Passage Trail.

“So, the opportunity that we have here is connecting between those two regional trail systems and literally bringing in millions of hikers, bicyclists and horseback riders here right through Harrison County,” Rice explained.

“Because that’s what folks are looking for, they’re looking for those unique experiences where they can go into the small towns, maybe stay at a local bed & breakfast, eat at local restaurants and experience the unique natural recreational and historical resources.”

Rice also talked of building a network of people and the several trail systems and people operating the trails, and called the Conotton Creek Trail the backbone of the entire system with its

President of the Ohio-Erie Canalway Coalition Dan Rice presented the final Harrison County Trail Plan to the commissioners at Wednesday’s meeting.

The ambition is to eventually branch out connecting Tappan, Conotton Creek Trail and other larger ones in the future.

Cadiz moves forward on ODNR requests

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – A representative from Mannik Smith, Greg Schunk appeared before village council last Thursday and gave a little background on what the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has required the village to do. He stated the village received a letter in 2017 from ODNR informing the village they would be in town to inspect the Sally Buffalo Dam and Sparrow Dam spillway.

They said emergency action plan, maintenance plan and flood studies had not been submitted to ODNR. They are to get inspected every four or five years.

“There’s some deficiencies based upon ODNR code [and] we have been engaged with ODNR to try to bring Sparrow…into compliance.”

He was told that the height of the earthen dam was not aligned with the spillway. Schunk in turn provided a flood study to ODNR, which he said was approved and the response by ODNR stated that there was no need for any additional action on the part of the village, according to Schunk.

He told council a “geo-tech investigation” was conducted based on ODNR’s interests of concrete analysis for example. Ground penetrating radar was done where “some erosion” had been found under the spillway at Sparrow. They later sent in a recommendation to ODNR where it is now under review, according to Schunk.

He went on to explain that there is some erosion in the form of “pockets” under the spillway where it was suggested an injection of a

The mighty shovel to the Silver Spade, a large coal shovel owned by Consol Coal Co., was on display at the 16th annual Old Construction and Mining Equipment Show in Stumptown. John Schumacher and Joe Curra who worked the mines in Pennsylvania and West Virginia stand in the shovel to show its size. The shovel originally had seven teeth to dig into the earth or coal fields but was starting to be cut up for scrap. It was turned over to the historical park committee before the shovel was demolished by dynamite. Roger Sliva filmed the entire procedure and has the actural demolishing.

Coal & Reclamation holds event in Stumptown

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

CADIZ – Time goes by and people with it. Eventually memories of a type of employment that encompassed many areas of Ohio and West Virginia fade with the younger generation. The Harrison Coal and Reclamation group, made up of many connected with mining, did not want this to happen.

They started collecting mining and manufacturing equipment around the late 1990’s and were granted an area to situate the donated pieces of machinery and

some could even be put into working order to see how it operates. Another move had to be made and they settled down between New Athens and U.S. Route 22, just a mile west of New Athens, with the address of 43672 Stumptown Road, Cadiz.

The show opened on Sept. 7 to cool temperatures but there was dry weather and past owners and workers with knowledge of the equipment were on hand to explain the working order of the large machinery.

Bryan Coulson, acquainted with the group for more than the 16 years the

group has been gathering items for the park, was taking the admission of $3 per person, directing parking and handing out brochure for the 2020 event. This is more a reminder for those who have brought machinery for the event to be aware of the date next year. A number to call for any information is (740) 3125385.

A gigantic cup-shaped shovel catches the eye and two miners from the Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal fields were on hand to answer questions.

The concrete spillway that sits to the side of the Sparrow Dam is due for some repairs where it was suggested injecting a filler material to plug some leaks discovered underneath the concrete.

Mannik Smith made the announcement at last Thursday’s Cadiz village council meeting.

Rice displayed one of his maps calling a series of work “early action projects” as low-hanging fruit. He described it as such because of the momentum behind the work and reverted back to the Conotton Creek Trail as an example of how to improve it in both directions.

Rice also touched on connecting trails to link up with the new school, the fairgrounds and wished to pursue that aspect as well. He also would like to work more in the Tappan area and the MWCD for its trail network plans.

He called the final trail plan not only that but a “marketing plan” as it’s being displayed in businesses and offices around

Schunk said there were other things they could do, even more expensive, but for now the report is being reviewed by ODNR. Regarding the Sally Buffalo Dam, no action was being taken but he did suggest some plan of action in case of an emergency.

“I strongly recommend that at a minimum, some type of notification plan, or emergency action plan, whatever you want to refer to it as, is implemented,” he explained. “God forbid, 2 a.m. you have some freak rain event and that dam decides to let go, you’re going to be running around trying to figure out who to notify and you want to be able to pull that off the shelf…” He added that it would not be much cost to implement such a plan for the village.

Schunk said former Village Administrator Charley Bowman did submit an emergency action plan for the Sparrow Dam and spillway, which was approved by ODNR. Schunk said two metal pipes are to be replaced at Sally Buffalo Dam, per ODNR. He

the county. Rice finished up with talk of the Industrial Heartland Trail that consists of 1,500 miles of trails connecting five states with three counties in eastern Ohio tapping into those trails via the smaller ones with hopeful connections to Harrison County.

An economic impact study conducted recently produced a whopping figure of $408 million in “community and economic impact.” Rice said it also supports 3,200 jobs along with $34 million in tax revenues.

Harrison County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen thanked the commissioners, as well as the residents of the county for their vision.

“It was their plan, we had multiple public meetings over the last few years…” he explained referring to interest

that built up over the Conotton Creek Trail development.

Commissioner Don Bethel thanked Rice for spearheading the project and said the board appreciated what everyone has done to get to this point.

“It’s nice to see the vision on paper,” he stated, “it’s exciting.”

Homrighausen said this shows Harrison County being a leader when compared to surrounding counties that may yet to concoct plans for trails like this.

Rice called that statement a key point because when OECC applies for grants “you go to the head of the line.” He spoke of another trail grant they just received for Tuscarawas County in the amount of $500,000.

“But because it was a part of their trail plan it was a 95 percent ODOT funded and 5 percent local funding,” Rice explained.

“And that’s technically free money.”

said the state organization wants them replaced with plastic pipe.

“Hey guys, I recognize these dams are 70 years old now [and] they’ve been living a very comfortable, happy life and as far as I know there’s no problems, there’s no boils, there’s no leaks, I get all that, unfortunately there’s these (1501-Ohio Administration Code)…that their leaning on and that’s why you’re hearing about it…,” Schunk explained.

Also, during Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski’s report, he stated the entrance to Sally Buffalo Park via Ohio 9, was to be paved, which has now already taken place and completed.

“That’s a mainstay of this community, we have Sally Buffalo Days coming up in a couple weeks and we want to make that entrance nice and smooth so people are impressed,” Andrzejewski explained.

Highland Ave. along with the adjoining alleys were also being paved. Paving was continued on Lyming Road. Steps to the back entrance of the municipal building were repaired from top to bottom step as well.

“The village saved $1,200 by having the street department do the work,” he wrote in his

report. Andrzejewski also told council that grindings from the Muskingum road project would be placed alongside the road to Belmont College for later placement on that road, helping to better smooth it out as well.

In other business, a meeting with village employees within the water and sewer department met with council member Chace Smith for discussion on bringing back wage steps. And paving was to continue from the end of last week ending into this week for paving on Muskingum, Spring and Maplewood streets. Completion for most of that work is set for Sept. 20.

Council member Thomas Crawshaw announced the findings of the speed radar that’s been placed along Lincoln Ave. and some astounding numbers came through. In just 30 days, 124,630 vehicles were counted passing through one way. He also said many speeders were counted with a maximum speed at 86 mph.

“That just shows you how much traffic is running through Cadiz out through there in 30 days, I mean that’s a lot of cars out there,” he told council.

Council also announced Trick or Treat for Saturday, Oct. 26 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

New Athens next to deal with shutoff policy

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW ATHENS – In the shell game of water shutoffs and what to do about delinquent customers, the village of New Athens looks to be next in dealing with the problem.

Village Administrator Tosha Giesey in looking at how other villages handle the situation, noted Cadiz as an example.

Giesey, in using other villages as a gauge, was not certain about Cadiz’s policy for late water bill payments but in actuality, it is two months, according to Cadiz Water Clerk Alysia Capers. She stated that customers are given five business days before they are considered delinquent on the sixth day. But, she added that customers are also given many chances to pay before they are on the actual shutoff list after two months of delinquency.

“My thing is, is I feel like we’re sitting on a lot of money for a long time,” Giesey told council.

“I mean by the time some of these people get shut off, their water bills are over five hundred and some dollars and we’re sitting on that money.” Giesey said she was going to research other villages to see what their protocol is for water shutoff policy.

As of now, New Athens has a 90-day policy before shutting their customers off and Giesey said she doesn’t want to see that stretched into two months because “it doesn’t take long for that to add up” with late fees compounded on top of more

late fees.

When they were reminded of Jewett’s recent talks of going to a 30-day shutoff policy, it sounded good to council member Mark Arnold. After some small discussion amongst themselves Giesey asked council if it was something they would like to look into, Mayor Joe Petro suggested to look into the matter and re-address it at next month’s meeting. Arnold relayed the frustration in even corresponding with some customers after Giesey called the usual late customers, “frequent flyers.”

“Yea, they don’t even call and say, ‘can you please work with me I’ve hit hard times,’ or something you know, they don’t even give you a heads up…”

Arnold said.

Another subject up for discussion was how to best purchase a new police cruiser.

Police Chief Charley Harris raised the issue and noted Cadiz’s new deal where they are in the midst of a lease agreement with a South Carolina company.

Cadiz Sgt. Det. Ron Carter stated they have not yet received their cruiser but confirmed the details where the company would receive $25 per ticket written.

“It’s based off of ticket revenue,” Harris said adding that no money up front is required with a 90-day trial period. “So basically, they take half your ticket money that goes towards the car.” Harris said that after two years the village could then buy the cruiser for $1.

“We can get a new one or a used one with like 25,000 miles on it,” Harris told council. He said there is now 55,000 miles on the current cruiser and is now showing “pinhole rust spots.”

“It’s been serviced more times than it should be,” he explained.

Petro asked what the parameters were for the company to collect if there are not many tickets written. Harris repeated that payments are done off of tickets written but he would have to show them the amount of tickets written and the amount of hours used for traffic.

“I’m sure you have to meet some type of criteria…” before the cruiser is handed over Petro said, with Harris acknowledging that fact.

“I mean that’s going to have to be looked over and points picked out that they want…”

Petro continued referring to the company looking at more than just actual revenue.

Arnold noted the good deal the village received when they purchased their current cruiser brand new for roughly $24,000.

“That’s cheap,” he said where Petro agreed but said, though it was a good deal at the time, it wasn’t the right type of vehicle for them.

“We don’t need no hot rod,” he stated. “All I’m getting at is we don’t need no race car here…”

Arnold answered by stating that the village has had standard sedans in the past but they did not last either.

Power plant business moving forward

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last Thursday, Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski informed Cadiz village council at their bi-weekly meeting that he had met with Emberclear Vice President (according to his 2019 Linkedin page), Stephen Goff regarding preparations for upgrades to the Cadiz water plant.

Emberclear is to pay Cadiz $1 million to upgrade the plant in order to handle the extra load because of the proposed power plant. Andrzejewski stated that talks went well but it had nothing to do with movement in the progression of the plant’s coming. He did clear up a misconception in that CT Consultants (CTC) is only the engineer contracted for the village and not doubling as the contractor on the project.

CTC will figure the design equipment needed and design the bid specs then evaluate the bidders. After that they will then recommend the contractor the village is to go with.

Andrzejewski said the village has until Oct. 31 to submit these plans for the EPA’s viewing, which they have until the end of the year to do so.

After that, Andrzejewski said January would be the month to put the project out to bid with actual work taking place in the “spring or summer.”

“We went over all the work CT has done so far on the water plant as far as upgrades…”

Andrzejewski told council. “So once they found out that CT is going to recommend the equipment, design the equipment [and] new bid specs for the work that has to be done then we put it out to bid…and then CT along with HP (Harrison Power) all will review the bids, we’ll select the contractors and do the work.

They were happy. That’s what they wanted to hear.”

Andrzejewski called the meeting and result “significant because there was a tiny bit of a hurdle there that we had to overcome because of the misconceptions.”

Those misconceptions had to do with Emberclear’s thought that CT

would be the engineer and the contractor on the project, which is not the case.

“They did not give me a date of when they would do groundbreaking, I know they’re still working on a few things but they did not give us a date yet.

But they also said it’s still moving forward,” Andrzejewski explained.

Reached this week Andrzejewski said Emberclear’s involvement in the decision making for water plant upgrades is part of their contract with the village. He said as of now, Cadiz is only allowed to produce 700,000 gallons per day and needs to upgrade to 1 million gallons to handle power plant operations.

A message left on Goff’s answering service this week was answered through Harrison County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen who relayed a message from Goff. He stated on Tuesday that there just wasn’t anything new to report, which has been the status quo for some time now. No further details were given.

HC CIC agrees to support MAGNAM Park

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation (HCCIC) has agreed to support MAGNAM Innovation Park, with the approval of a Memorandum of Support, which is described as an “ideal location for polymer manufacturers and support industries,” according to their website (www.magnampark.com).

President of the HCCIC Dale Arbaugh read the MOS where it states the agreement is between numerous area government entities: Guernsey County, Guernsey County Port Authority, CambridgeGuernsey County Community Improvement Corporation, Muskingum County, ZanesvilleMuskingum County Port Authority, Noble County and Noble County CIC, Morgan County and the Morgan County CIC and now Harrison County and Harrison County CIC. “Whereas, an opportunity has arisen to develop certain parcels of land within the jurisdiction of MAGNAM for an Education, Research and Business Park (the project)…” the MOS states as read

by Arbaugh. It continues by stating that each government entity has their own unique value of resources,

which is to be used jointly and designed to maximize opportunities for economic development.

Board member Bob Hendricks explained it as being a “collaboration that will make the opportunity for everybody to advance.”

MAGNAM’s website describes the proposed park as a “State-of-the-art Business Park for Southeastern Ohio situated on 2,500 acres…

MAGNAM Innovation Park provides a location for conducting business that is closely aligned to the opportunities being created by the abundance of natural gas associated with the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations.”

The MOS also refers to the ability to apply for grants “and other thirdparty sources” as one value of regional cooperation, as stated by Arbaugh’s reading.

Hendricks continued by stating that the benefits of the oil and gas industry, especially in the southeastern Ohio region, “is much better than having it in Houston, Texas or New Orleans, Louisiana or some place else. So basically, what we’re trying to do is bring the whole area up, working in collaboration with them to make sure we all have a piece of the pie…” He said this isn’t about one county or one area but a multi-area force where the local southeastern region would have an

input into the process instead of the decisions made for the Ohio Valley’s Ohio region by outside forces, apparently referring to Texas or the Gulf Coast’s production in energy.

Executive Director for MAGNAM Pamela Jira explained that they are looking at a piece of land in Noble County, and would be situated close to I-77. She specifically noted a large amount of land owned by American Electric Power (AEP) that they’ve had their eye on.

Another item covered was the revolving loan that has sat dormant for the past five years. Dennis Hirschbach asked if there had been any movement on the issue of the Revolving Loan Fund, where he said it had been previously discussed of possibly investing it in STAR (State Treasury Asset Reserve).

Arbaugh said that the money was in the county’s coffers where they would have to work with the county to make it possible to invest. When Hirschbach said it hadn’t been used in five years Arbaugh stated that they “let OMEGA handle it but we’ve not had any requests.” The fund was set up to help businesses get off the ground and Hendricks further explained that it was basically for businesses who already have capital and have started their own process.

He called the fund just “another tool in the box.”

“It’s a county managed fund…”

Arbaugh said and surmised that they would have to go through either the auditor or treasurer’s office to see if anything could be done regarding investment purposes. But it was later stated that the commissioners ultimately have control over the money.

“Applications can come in to us, we will forward them on to OMEGA [and] we’re involved in that process,” Arbaugh explained when referring to candidates. He also acknowledged that the cap on the fund was set at $25,000. Arbaugh said that the county CIC set the cap approximately three years ago with the fund being an alternative to a traditional bank loan.

“Again, we just haven’t had requests since that point,” he stated.

Hirschbach suggested looking into increasing the cap on the $25,000 with Hendricks explained that the fund was for someone who had already started a business and not for someone to just come in and borrow all of it. When Hirschbach said he understood that but that they weren’t receiving any applicants, Hendricks said, “We didn’t have before.” There was no further discussion on the matter.

Scio looks towards funding of crucial intersection

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com SCIO – The intersection at Ohio 646 and 151 in Scio that was discussed at length in last month’s council meeting, was raised again.

This time Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh introduced a letter from an ODOT Executive Robert W. Taylor stating that ODOT “is willing to partner with the village by having Harrison County forces install and relocate the catch basin on SR 646..”

The letter also states that ODOT will provide “labor and equipment” for installing the catch basin. But what the letter also states, and to the surprise of Tubaugh, was what else ODOT was willing to contribute.

“This would essentially make your project eligible for 100 percent funding up to $500,000,” per a separate letter, which was signed by Anna M. Kuzmich, P.E., ODOT Statewide Shale Coordinator of New Philadelphia.

During his regular report, Tubaugh informed council that additional guidelines for the oil and shale program were presented

by ODOT’s District 11, alluding to the fact that they had changed.

“We potentially are eligible to be 100 percent funded for 646, at the intersection,” he stated. He explained that when applying for a grant there is a cost-share associated with the grant award.

But Tubaugh argued that they did not contribute to the torn up part of the intersection, so why should the village have to pay for any of the repairs?

“We don’t have anybody driving around in eight-thousand pound trucks,” he said referring to oil and gas industry trucks he alluded to at the last meeting. “I’m very hopeful that it did obviously not fall on deaf ears at the state level because now they revised the programming where if it is caused by direct impact of gas and oil in our area, it can be 100 percent funded.”

He added that if it would be 100 percent funded, then the entire

intersection would be done over but attempted to be optimistic even though he’s never seen 100 percent funding.

“We’ve never been 100 percent funded, ever so, it’s actually a blessing for the village to actually proceed forward with a project that is critical in my opinion, for not only business but residents to keep going,” Tubaugh explained.

Council member Andrew Turner later in the meeting raised the issue of the financials where Tubaugh said that discussion would be between he, ODOT’s grant writing and their supervisor. “…What I’m looking at from ODOT it’s 100 percent funded,” he told Turner. “So, if they’re not willing to do that up front and gamble with us then maybe we can look at another engineering group anyway.”

Turner then made the motion to pursue the grant writing from ODOT for the repairing of the 646 intersection, which was approved.

Turner felt that the new estimate may be lower than the initial engineering figure because property

THE

MINE

acquisition had been in included in that, but that has now changed. He noted that the property in question was sold utilizing a right-of-way that could be put into action.

Earlier, Treasurer Trish Copeland asked council to give Tubaugh a round of applause for the “hard work and diligence” in the 646 project. She also noted the conference he attended several weeks ago in front of three legislatures (Harrison Community Hospital), where he raised the problem, which District 6 Congressman, Bill Johnson-R attempted to answer but had no real solution to Scio’s dilemma at the time.

“And had he not been able to attend the Chamber of Commerce (Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce) meeting he would never have had three legislatures in the room at the same time to hear what he had to say, and he said it very eloquently,” Copeland explained for which the applause followed.

Adena settles chooses “Veterans Memorial Bridge”

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

ADENA – The decision on what to name Adena’s bridge on Harrison 10, which was reopened last year, was finally decided upon and announced at Tuesday’s council meeting. Over the past year the two main names were for honoring Adena’s Dale Stock, who was killed in Vietnam in 1969. The other name was the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge, which won out as the name finally chosen.

Council Member, Mark Anderson stated that the American Legion decided that it would be best to not single out one person but to honor all who gave their lives.

“They asked it be named the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge,” Anderson told council.

Treasurer, Bobbi Gaffney told council she felt the village should help pay for the sign but left it up to the rest of council.

Anderson felt there was a possibility of help coming from various veteran organizations as

well.

Police Chief, Paul Carpenter told council that their regular cruiser was in the garage. He said the vehicle needed new tires and hopefully they could be donated. He said a recent meeting at Salt Fork, which was for the Ohio Small Police Department Association (OSPDA), where he said he is on the presidential committee, would help them with training.

He said the training, which covers various areas of need, is expensive but that involvement with OSPDA would save them a lot of money.

Also, Carpenter announced that the Blairmont Road project would be “done by the state.”

He said the project should already have been completed and should have been opened by now. One resident stated he’d seen a street sign thrown into a ditch, which Carpenter acknowledged knowing about it.

He also said the road is not a one-lane road right now.

BY Esther McCoy Here it is two weeks into September. Each time Lamont thinks the humming birds have departed for a trip south, he leaves the feeder empty. Then several of the late travelers will come to the patio making loud chirs at the screen door. Then it is back to making up another batch of the sweet nectar.

We had another interesting bird incident during the summer. For Mother’s Day, Lamont bought me a beautiful hanging basket of red geraniums that we were cared for with precision. About two months ago, Lamont took down the basket to do some repairs to the patio. Having the storm door open, I could hear a bird who sounded to be in deep distress.

A little taupe and black striped bird, one that would easily fit into the palm of my hand, was perched on the arm of a patio chair closest to the screen door and chirping her heart out.

When Lamont went to return the basket to its hanging site, he noticed the makings of a nest deep within the flowers. We understood then what she was scolding us about. From then on, there was no more watering of the plant. Soon there were two birds carrying in tiny grubs.

I think the parents were too small to carry an earthworm.

Then could be heard little chirping sounds. One day when both parents were out, Lamont stood on the patio bench and peeked into the basket. Looking back at him was a tiny ball of fluff that got terribly vocal and brought back Momma bird, who started her squawking as when the basket was moved earlier in the summer. Lamont said it had to be a female; no male would make all that noise.

I thought we would get to see Baby Bird trying its wings several times before they left but it must have been accomplished in the early morning hours. We never knew when they left, they didn’t even chirp goodbye. But

EVENT

From PG | 1 The Silver Spade, that was destroyed by explosives by Consolidation Coal Company, was to be scrapped but was provided to the group. Instead.

Joe Curran and John Schumacher of East Brady, Pa., who worked in the coal fields for 40 years, told that the shovel once had seven teeth to scrape up the earth or coal. Consol started to scrap it and cut off two teeth before the park group took over. Hence there are five teeth on the display now. The retired miners showed a 200foot high boom for the shovel and the heavy cable used to lift

it was interesting making a home for a feathered family.

It is early to be mentioning this but I sometimes forget and then it is the week of the event and it is almost too late. The Piney Fork American Legion Post 735 is holding its annual spaghetti dinner and let me tell you, those Legion Auxiliary ladies can sure cook. Besides the sauce being awesome, there is enough of the pasta heaped on the plate to take home some in a container. There are desserts covering two long tables. These range from pies, cakes, frothy desserts, cookies and anything imaginable. It will be held Sunday, Oct. 6, at the legion home from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The cost for adults is $7 and children under 10 years are charged $3. Carryout’s are welcome. Tom McCain is commander and Pat Logsdon is the auxiliary president.

The Edison Athletic Boosters purchased a hog at the Jefferson County Junior Fair livestock auction and are selling tickets for a whole butchered hog at $5 each. This will be for a Mackenzie Smith, Buckeye Variety 4-H member, who passed away suddenly the day before the fair began. She was a cheerleader at Edison and a scholarship will be held with the money from the Nov. 1 drawing at the Indian Creek football game. This is sponsored as a project for an Edison athlete and is under the guidance of the Athletic Boosters.

The Jefferson County Farm Bureau held a homemade dessert silent auction that brought in about $500 for a Mackenzie Smith scholarship as well. There was a lemon meringue pie, cherry pie, pecan pie, apple dumplings, cakes, cookies and a plate of Buckeyes candy and chocolate covered cashews that sold for $100 to Matt Somerville, a member of the bureau board.

Celebrating a 72nd birthday on Sept. 18 is the United States Air Force. And who can forget the anniversary of Sept. 11? So many lost their lives in the collapsed buildings or those who tried to bring out those who were inside the buildings. I can still see in my mind those airplanes flying into those buildings and later collapsing.

Red Knights outlast Huskies 19-12 BY: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

TORONTO – Before last Friday night, it had been 18 years since the Toronto Red Knights and Harrison Central Huskies linked up on the gridiron. With both teams coming off of week one setbacks, the stage was set for someone to pick up their first victory of the season, and

reclaim bragging rights in a once heated community rivalry.

Unfortunately for Harrison Central fans, the ride back to Harrison County was a quiet one. Late in the second half, the Red Knights connected on a fourth down tight-end screen that all but sealed the deal at Clarke Hinkle Stadium.

"We did some things better in week two, and we found some things we can build on, but we still had way too many self-

inflicted wounds,” remarked Head Coach Anthony Hayes.

“We struggled to shift and get in the right alignment when they went unbalanced and that left us outnumbered at the point of attack in the first half,” he continued.

When the game got underway, it looked much like a track meet out of the gate. The Red Knights made their presence known on the ground, and the Huskies found their stride through the

air.

Roughly midway through the first quarter, Toronto got on the board first to take a 6-0 lead, but the Huskies wouldn’t trail for long. Clayton Nunez tied things up for the Huskies just over a minute later, hauling in a Kobe Mitchell touchdown pass that spanned 28-yards. The first quarter would come to an end knotted at six, but not before both teams exchanged turnovers first.

The Red Knights went up 136 with 9:36 to go in the first half, a score that would hold through the halftime intermission.

"Offensively, we came out of the gate quick and answered the bell. We had the match-ups that we liked both throwing and running the ball, and we executed the game-plan fairly well in the first half,” stated Hayes.

“Our trouble areas in the first

half were turnovers, as we had a fumble on what would have been a first down and a forced errant throw that was tipped and picked off. Our starting QB suffered an injury in the first half and was not available to go for the rest of the night, so that changed things for us,” the coach explained.

HC varsity boys soccer team shuts out Cambridge, falls to Indian Creek

BY JULIE MARSHALL NH Contributor

The Harrison Central Varsity Boys Soccer Team defeated the Cambridge Bobcats on Saturday, Sept. 7 at Wagner Field. Head Coach Derek Gramling was all smiles and said, “We kept a clean sheet and it was a good all-around performance. When the keeper can make saves and the offense takes their chances and scores, we win games.”

The Bobcats were hunting a goal all night long but were denied by the Huskies “D” and keeper Mack Marshall’s 12 saves. Central’s first goal about 4-1/2 minutes into play was scored by senior Guilherme Bernardes with an assist by junior Brady Positano.

Cambridge was hungry for the score and the brawl was on until the half ended 1-0. With less than 15 minutes to play in the game, Positano’s corner kick was chest-tapped into the net by junior Luke Forrester and the score was 2-0. Both teams hustled for possession until the run that sealed the game for the Huskies. With three minutes left, Alexis Flor’s bicycle kick to Jack Novotny was sent to Positano who passed it to junior Jo Jo Downs. Downs took a shot that was blocked and popped back out into play. Refusing to retreat, Downs took another shot and scored. The game ended 3-0.

On a sweltering Tuesday afternoon on Sept. 10, Harrison Central traveled to Indian Creek where the Redskins were on the warpath from the whistle scoring three goals during the first half. The Huskies were unwilling to accept a shutout and with a man on, Jack Novotny received a pass from Positano and blasted it in with 13 minutes left to play in the half.

During the intense second half the Redskins kept the pressure on and scored two more goals. With only a few minutes left in the game, junior foreign exchange student Carlos Thompson-Ramirez passed the ball to Novotny who promptly parked the ball in the net.

The final score had the Huskies on the losing end by a score of 5-2. Goalkeeper Mack Marshall saved 13 shots on goal and center mid-fielder Dylan Waggoner deserves a mention as he was stopping, stealing and redirecting the ball all night long for the Huskies.

Gramling commented, “defensive mistakes let us down tonight, but it was good for Jack’s confidence to score two goals and for Carlos to get an assist.”

The Huskies play at Steubenville Catholic Central on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 5 p.m. Their next home game is Thursday, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. against Beaver Local.

Husky youth football falls to Junior Knights Flag football program debuts in Cadiz

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - On Sunday the fifth and sixth grade youth football teams lost to the visiting the Wheeling Junior Knights.

There would be only one contest on Sunday as the

Knights did not have a third and fourth grade team.

Once the action got underway, the giant who towered over the Huskies, would use just 22 seconds and their first play from scrimmage to score their first touchdown.

Once Harrison took their initial

possession, they would fumble away the opportunity and the Knights turned it into a quick score.

An interception on their second possession would turn into a pick 6. By halftime the Knights held a 28 - 0 lead. They would go on to win by a score of 34 - 0.

CADIZ - Sunday, Sept. 8, Harrison Central’s head football coach Anthony Hayes introduced the new flag football program to fans at the stadium in Cadiz prior to the start of the scheduled youth football league games.

Twenty-two kids strong, the new flag football program consists of both boys and girls in grades kindergarten through the second grade. “What better way is there to recruit future football players,” said Hayes. “This program offers the participants an opportunity to work side by side with the varsity football coaches as well as the players.

We have a no turn-away policy for our participants, and any kid from Harrison Hills is welcome to join. The teams will be here the next two Sundays at 1 p.m.

Tackling the Housing Affordability Crisis (StatePoint) As housing prices soar nationwide, a growing number of Americans are unable to find affordable housing.

Experts say that the problem has reached a crisis point, and is harming the welfare not only of individuals and families, but of communities and the economy at-large.

Since 2012, housing prices have increased by 53 percent, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Unfortunately, salaries have not kept pace. The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University reports that 18 million Americans commit more than 50 percent of their income toward a safe place to live.

America needs 7 million units of affordable housing, according to a March 2019 National Low

Income Housing Coalition report, which also found that no state has enough affordable rental inventory.

“America’s housing affordability crisis isn’t restricted to cities on the East and West coasts. Families in rural, suburban and urban areas in all 50 states are sacrificing necessities like food, healthcare and education in order to make rent or mortgage payments,” says Brandee McHale, president of the Wells Fargo Foundation.

“Only when people can afford to live in their neighborhoods can communities thrive.”

Recognizing the extent of the problem, non-profits, think tanks and corporations are stepping in to find solutions that will unlock housing options for more Americans and reduce the cost burden of housing. One

large-scale effort underway is being spearheaded by Wells Fargo and the Wells Fargo Foundation. Drawing on its resources and expertise, the company is working in collaboration with public- and private-sector organizations to develop and implement new solutions in communities of need, and is committing a $1 billion philanthropic investment through 2025.

The $1 billion will be used to address multiple facets of the U.S. housing affordability crisis, including homelessness, available and affordable rentals, transitional housing and homeownership. Beyond this commitment, programs that increase financial literacy among individuals and create small business growth for local entrepreneurs round out an

overall strategy to help people and communities find more financial stability.

This new philanthropic strategy comes on the heels of previous efforts designed to secure affordable housing for more Americans. Since 2012, Wells Fargo has provided charitable grants for homebuyers and homebuyer education through its philanthropic NeighborhoodLIFT, and other LIFT programs in collaboration with NeighborWorks America, creating more than 22,000 homeowners -- the majority from low- and moderateincome households -- through over $475 million in downpayment assistance grants. In addition, 10-year lending commitments are in place to help more than 170,000 African

American and Hispanic individuals purchase homes.

“Financial stability starts with a place you can afford to call home, but to help more people find that, it’s going take all of us looking more holistically at the spectrum of housing needs,” says McHale.

As markets all over the country struggle with high housing prices, policymakers, advocates, philanthropists and non-profits will need to work together to find long-term solutions that will help millions of Americans meet their most basic needs.

Moving Tips to Make Unpacking Easy (StatePoint) When it comes to moving, we usually focus on the process of getting organized and boxing up valuables. But we often forget about the debatably more stressful part of moving: unpacking.

In fact, Americans take an average of 182 days -- more than six months! -- to finally unpack the last box after moving into a new home, according to Duck Brand research.

To make settling into your new abode much easier, start by thinking about the process backwards and consider these tips: 1. Measure everything during the home inspection. Use your time on inspection day to collect all room and cabinet dimensions.

This will help determine if furniture will fit, where items will go and how much storage is available. Pro tip: Precut shelf liner to instantly line drawers and cupboards on move-in day.

2. Pack based on where it will go, not where it was. Envisioning where items will go in your new space is key. Then, label each box with its contents, as well as the room where it should be unpacked. Not sure what moving supplies you’ll need? The free online moving calculator at

DuckBrand.com is a great resource. Simply input your number of bedrooms and baths, and you’ll receive a printable/sharable shopping list based on your specific needs.

3. Use plastic bags and tape to keep pieces together. For smooth assembly, use packaging tape and small plastic bags to attach screws, nuts and bolts to the bottom of dismantled furniture. This can prevent losing those small, essential pieces and perhaps even reduce the number of hardware store trips on move-in day.

4. Utilize tools that make opening boxes easy. Choosing a heavy-duty packing tape is critical to ensure boxes stay secure, but searching for a blade to open boxes while unpacking can be frustrating. Instead, try Duck brand Mover’s Edge, a unique heavy-duty packaging tape and refillable dispenser system that makes it easy to seal and unseal boxes -- no blade or boxcutter needed. As tape flows through the dispenser, the edges on each side of the tape are slightly folded. This allows for easy removal when you’re ready to unpack; just lift up the folded edge by hand and pull off the tape.

5. Avoid breaks and spills. Fifty-

five percent of Americans have experienced an important item being damaged during a move, according to Duck Brand research.

To make sure your valuables arrive intact, use products that offer increased protection like Bubble Wrap cushioning and Foam Pouches. Pro tip: For additional safeguarding, use plastic grocery or storage bags to contain any items that could potentially spill.

6. Pack storage items in plastic bins rather than boxes. While cardboard boxes are an easy and cost-effective way to transport the majority of your belongings, plastic storage containers are more

ideal for seasonal items that may not be unpacked, but instead stay in storage. Not only will the bins shield contents from the environment, like a damp basement or dusty attic, but their uniform size also will make it easy to create an organized and efficient storage space.

For additional moving tips and how to choose the best supplies for your relocation, go to DuckBrand.com.

Regardless of whether you’re moving across the country or down the street, the best way to guarantee a smooth transition is to plan ahead.

Sheriff Abdalla honored by area groups at dinner

BY ESTHER MCCOY NH CONTRIBUTOR

Many people wear numerous hats of study and career during their lifetime and Fred Abdalla likely holds one of the longest records for having a closet of busy hats. This was highlighted at a dinner and roast honoring his lifetime by the Mingo Junction Business Association, Knights of Columbus, Mingo Lions, Mingo Woman’s Club and other groups who showed admiration for his busy years.

A graduate of Catholic Central High School, Abdalla attended the Ohio State University and Ohio State Highway Patrol Academy. He was a coroner’s investigator for three years, Stratton Mayor for 13 years.

Judge in mayor’s court for 13 years and re-elected Jefferson County sheriff for 34 years.

Where some children are afraid of a uniform, young people are drawn to the sheriff.

He could be seen at the Jefferson County Fair transporting five boys in the sheriff’s golf cart to another portion of the big grounds. He bends down to shake hands with young people and wears a big smile in doing so. Four-H is one of his favored organizations and he buys livestock at the junior fair sale. There is a Sheriff’s Department building at Friendship Park and hot and tired fair attendees can stop and have a seat in the cool atmosphere and will be offered a frosty drink or even something to eat.

The sheriff served two years in Vietnam with the U.S. Army and earned the following medals: Good Conduct medal, National Defense medal,

Vietnam Service medal, Bronze Star medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Ribbon with Device and the Republic of Vietnam Cross with Palm Unit Citation.

Jim Freiling, who took on the planning of the event, with the help of many organizations, was standing outside the K of C Hall as people poured in. He shook his head as over 400 came to honor Abdalla and acknowledge the sheriff as a real person of interest in the count y and beyond.

Bob Pizzoferrato sang the National Anthem and other patriotic songs to the waving of flags that were on each table. A guest speaker was his daughter, Jenifer Abdalla Ford. She told how troubled people would come knocking at their door at night and her father would be out for much of the night helping with a wreck or something worse.

“We would be riding in a car with him when he would notice a motorist with a flat tire and pull over to help repair it. Even on days when he had seen great suffering in his occupation, he would come home and kiss us and we would never know there was anything wrong. He devoted his life to this county,

to was the all-around standout Kobe Mitchell. When the Huskies returned to the field for the second half, the All-Ohio product was without his helmet, and that certainly changed the outlook for Hayes and his Huskies.

“Clayton Nunez came in and

my brothers, myself and Mom,” she said.

Carroll County Judge Carol Ann Robb said, “Abdalla’s reputation goes far beyond this county. I came to know him in peace, security and troubles.”

He took some good natured

ribbing from guest roasters and at the close, there was a toast to Sheriff Abdalla by his fellow officers, first responders, armed forces, veterans, Salvation Army and their spouses.

ran the offense the entire second half. I think he did a very nice job of handling the situation. To be honest, it was much like being thrown into the fire,” Hayes declared of his first-year transfer from Oklahoma. “What we learned about Clayton is that he doesn't blink. He did not let the moment consume him,” the head man continued.

The third quarter largely mirrored the second, as both

teams locked into a battle of field position and ball control.

The scoreboard stayed silent until the 1:32 mark, when the Red Knights found the endzone to go up 19-6. However, that didn’t mean the Huskies were looking to toss in the towel. Tucker Coultrap had an answer for the Red Knights in the fourth.

After a drive that contained a heavy dose of the senior running-back was capped off with a three yard finisher on the ground, the Huskies found themselves trailing by one possession again at 19-12 with 7:12 remaining in the contest.

The Huskies would get the ball one more time before the final buzzer, but remained largely unable to penetrate the Red Knights defense.

“There were occasions in which we were in good position to make plays defensively, but we failed to do so. We had two defenders in position on a pass

over the middle that went in for a score and they just lost their footing. That was just a freak thing that happened. Other than that, I feel as though we buckled down defensively and did a much better job of tackling,” Hayes commented.

Still in search of their first win of the 2019 campaign, the Huskies are back in action this weekend at home against Bellaire.

“All of our kids played hard.

They played from the first whistle to the last. We just need to clean some things up heading into Bellaire. Bellaire is absolutely loaded this year. They return everybody from last year's playoff team and they’re expecting big things again this year. We are going to have to be mentally focused all week at practice in our preparation for them,” Hayes stated.

Bellaire is coming off a 14-13 loss to Harrison’s week-one opponent in Garaway.

100 years of Farm Bureau celebrated

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

RAYLAND – A 100 year celebration of an organization beneficial to the vocation of farming, the Jefferson County Farm Bureau, was observed at a dinner meeting in the Meadowbrook Church Sept. 5.

On each table at the dining hall was the new Farm Bureau logo, telling of being established in 1919, with printing on a red, white and blue rosette. This is the centennial logo paying tribute to a version of the logo from the 1940’s, it was noted.

Adam Sharp, OFBF executive vice president, mentioned in “Our Ohio” magazine that the new logo is a great symbolism of the Farm Bureau brand. “We are proud of our history but we are always looking forward to the future.”

Also changed is the location of the combined offices of Jefferson and Harrison county bureaus.The address is 43029 Industrial Park Road, Cadiz, Ohio 43907. The telephone number is 740-942-4022. A

new office administrator comes with the change of office address, Beverly Terry, is now on the job that was once successfully handled by Jennifer Barnett.

Beverly Riddle, 2018 president, installed Elwin “Corky” Saiter as the incoming president and the gavel was passed. He has been very successful in obtaining memberships for many years and served on various committees.

Ty Higgins, OFBF director of media relations, was the guest speaker.

Cadiz escapee receives two-years, Stinespring trial set for one

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Thirty-two year old Jason Groff reached a plea agreement with the Harrison County Prosecutor’s Office Tuesday and upon the state’s recommendation, was handed a two-year prison sentence for his escape back in June of this year.

Groff escaped from the Harrison County jail and apparently, though it was never officially confirmed, stole a Cadiz Water Department truck where it was eventually recovered from a

deep ravine in Port Washington.

Groff was captured in Belmont County and reportedly led authorities to the truck.

Another charge of violating his Community Based Control sanctions when he escaped was credited with time served by Judge T. Shawn Hervey.

When it was Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese’s turn to speak regarding sentencing, he reminded the court that at the time of his escape, Groff was in jail on “minor violations.” He stated that two years in prison was appropriate, which Judge

Hervey later agreed to that sentence recommendation.

“I just wanted to apologize to the county, to the courts, to the sheriff’s department and everybody,” Groff said in a rare statement that defendants usually don’t give when given a chance to speak. “I understand I made everybody look bad…I’m not saying that anything is acceptable [and] I’m willing to take the punishment, I just ask for everybody’s forgiveness…”

In the cases of Ronald and Ty Stinespring, Elliot County Court Judge Rebecca Phillips has set

Ron Stinepring’s trial for Feb. 11, 2020, at 9 a.m. He does have a pre-trial conference, which is scheduled for Nov. 12, 2019, at 11 a.m. His attorney is Ray Campbell of Rowan County.

Regarding Ty Stinespring, the former Harrison Hills schoolteacher, she has a pre-trial conference also scheduled for Nov. 12 at 11 a.m. Her attorney is Jason Hart of Apollo Law located in Frankfort, Ky. Ty Stinespring is facing two felonyone counts of criminal abuse (12 and under).

The Elliot County Court Clerk

also provided an additional bit of information in that there is expected to be a motion filed by the prosecution to join both cases.

A “motion to consolidate may be forthcoming,” the clerk said per Judge Phillips.

The information was confirmed

by Hart who spoke by phone Thursday, which Hart said they will object to, referring to both Ron and Ty’s individual cases.

“Yep, it’s my understanding there’s supposed to be a motion to consolidate the trials,” he said.

“We anticipate objecting to that,

I haven’t seen it yet but that’s our plan.” He said a motion like this “depends on the facts and circumstances” but added that it isn’t normally done but sometimes it is done to save time and money.

“We would object because the two cases are you know, very dissimilar. I mean, he’s got numerous charges and she has the two so,” Hart explained. He said he could not speculate on what the chances of that motion holding up would be but repeated that they would object to the motion.
