Commissioners approve agreement with Jeff. Co. CAC

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison County Commissioner’s approved agreement (48-20) on Wednesday, which dealt with the Jefferson County Community Action Council (JCCAC). The employment program, that also involves Harrison County, deals with youths 14 to 24 years of age teaching them occupational skills and providing valuable work experience in summer

youth programs.

CAC’s Mike McGlumphy described it as the Comprehensive Case Management Employee Program (CCMEP) and told the board that the state of Ohio is the only one that has this particular program.

“It is a mixture of WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) funds, which you guys already approved of in July and TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) funds,” McGlumphy

explained.

He stated that this contract is for TANF explaining that they cannot be run together (with WIOA) “because the funding period for these two grants are different.” The official agreement is with the Harrison County Jobs & Family Services and the JCCAC, per the document agreement.

“This contract is a result of the 2018 request for proposal issued by Workforce Investment Area 16,” according to the agreement. The

program “provides employment, training services and, other supportive services to mandatory and voluntary participants based upon a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s employment and training needs.”

McGlumphy told the board that along with occupational skills and college training, the biggest part of the grant “goes to our summer youth program.”

The commissioners also followed

through with three more agreements (45-20, 46-20, 47-20) dealing with an oil and gas lease in Shortcreek and Green Townships, involving land parcels the county owns. The name as the land professional is Ed Leistman of Canton. Commissioner Paul Coffland read the agreements and described (4620) as the “order of payment.” The figure given was $31,028.98 for 5.6

Driver airlifted to hospital after one-vehicle crash HARRISON COUNTY – A one-vehicle accident just before noon on Monday resulted in a female driver being air lifted by MedEvac to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh.

The accident occurred on U.S. 22 near Ohio 519 and shut down traffic both ways for more than 30 minutes with the blue SUV coming to rest on its wheels in the east lane. A male witness trailing behind the vehicle said there were no problems for several miles then all of a sudden she began to fishtail, tumbling to its side before striking the embankment.

The vehicle then tumbled but it wasn’t clear how many times. He said the trouble began a good ways out and lasted for around 150 yards.

Officials on the scene said they found no cell

Ribbon cut on Johnny D’s pizza in Cadiz

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – When Johnny DiCarlantonio talked about coming to Cadiz with his DiCarlo’s-style pizza a few years ago, hopes were up but there were a few snags in the road. But not anymore because, as they say in communications classes, word of mouth is the best advertisement there is.

The community has flocked to Johnny D’s where it forced them to not only roll in plenty of dough last week, but they also ran out of it. For the first four days straight last week they sold anywhere from 100 to 125 trays of pizza each day.

“Our team is honored to be in Cadiz and Harrison County. We can’t thank the community enough for supporting us as we get started,” Johnny said in a statement this week. “Valley-style pizza is something very special in our area, and we’re really looking forward to continuing this great tradition in the Cadiz area.”

In that first week the crew was so busy they couldn’t even find the time to leave the kitchen for a photograph and a few words, they were that swamped. Johnny D’s is located on the Derek Ferguson property, where they occupy the opposite end of the Trinity Express Care facility.

“We’d like to congratulate all local leaders for the

recent growth and job creation in Harrison County; there are now many great opportunities for companies like mine to thrive here.”

Johnny D’s offers pizza by the tray but also by the slice. But he also offers desserts to go along with the rest of the menu, which includes salads, four kinds of hoagies, and also various types of pizza, including white pizza.

Members of the Harrison County Regional Chamber of Commerce and Harrison County Auditor Allison Anderson were all there to cut the ribbon last Friday along with plenty of friends and family.

Scio council tackles multiple issues at meeting

NOTICES Fall Smoke Out Truck, Tractor pull originally set for Sept.

26 has been canceled.

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE SCIO - The many decisions that must be made by the village have only increased in light of the coronavirus and economic impacts it has caused. On top of that, the new water system, general maintenance and calls from residents seem to keep Mayor Michelle Carpenter and her council busy. The following is a smattering of yes-or-no decisions the council had to make behalf of the village last week.

Yes: Scio will hold a COVID19 Relief Fund Meeting.

Businesses, families and individuals who can prove that they were directly financially impacted by the virus are encouraged to attend the meeting to bet on the list for relief funding from the Village.

The state has already credited their account and the money must be returned if it is not allocated to relief efforts by October 15. The meeting will

be held in the old bank building (now the council building) on Main Street at 4:15 on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

No: Village Administrator Jason Tabaugh would like to “squash any rumors” about fines given to the Scio Restaurant.

Owner Julie Heidi acquired a building permit from council to erect the outdoor seating area on the Main Street sidewalk.

The council unanimously decided “no” to any claims stating otherwise.

Yes: Council decided to take up an offer from Demetrius Carrothers, the county juvenile probation officer, to supervise a community service work day with youths who need to fulfill community service requirements. The plan is for them to clean up trash between dollar general and the water plant as well as the park. This was much appreciated by the council.

No: The “unmaintained alleyways” spoken of at the last

meeting will not be closed. By recommendation of Solicitor Jack Felgenhauer, council decided against their prior leanings to barricade one of these alleyways in question.

While vehicular traffic could be a concern for proximity to a building and the infrastructure of an underlying manhole and water pipes, abandoning the alleyway could lead to future access limitations and would require the village to give up their ownership. The council may go about the situation in a different way, such as posting no parking signage.

Yes: Attempts to improve water billing are going into effect this month. With double the number of typical notices this month, the village will be sending some 40 shut off notices earlier than usual to give residents a longer period of time to get their bill paid. The village will update their billing procedure if this proves to be effective.

No: With the park bathrooms being closed due to statewide COVID cleaning regulations, events will not be held in the park until next year. However, Brown street, the road leading to the park with the concession stand beside it, could be an option for those who would like to hold an outdoor event pending their agreement to clean up after the event.

Council does not want to inhibit community engagement but also must stay within their limits on community property due to extenuating circumstances.

Yes: A petition has been submitted by a family along 646 to annex into the village to receive village water and sewer.

Council saw no problem with this request once they considered their proximity to town and the relatively little effort it would take to include such a property. While this is not yet finalized, the council gave their blessing.

MWCD releases lake drawdown schedule

NEW PHILADELPHIA – It may be too early to think about, but winter plans are in the works and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) addressed some of those plans at last week’s board meeting.

The winter drawdown schedule has been released with Executive Director Craig Butler explaining the particulars of each lake.

“As part of the flood risk management operation of the reservoirs and dams in the Muskingum River Watershed, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducts annual temporary drawdown of the normal pool elevation of the lake levels. The drawdown allows for additional flood storage capacity needed during the winter thaw and spring rains,” per a prepared statement by the MWCD. Normal flood

levels will return beginning in February and will be “obtained in time for the summer recreation season.”

Beginning with Atwood Lake, the normal level is 928 feet but will be drawn down to 920, or a difference of eight feet, which begins on Nov. 15. Charles Mill will also begin on Nov. 15 where three feet will be taken from its normal 997 feet.

Clendening Lake will go from 898 feet down to 893. Tappan Lake, which is scheduled for drawdown on Nov. 15 will also be taken down by five feet from its normal 899-plus feet.

Piedmont Lake will also begin on Nov. 15 and will be taken down by five feet as well from its normal 913 feet. The rest are Seneca Lake (five feet-Nov. 15), Pleasant Hill (eight feet-normal is 1,020 feet-Nov. 1) and Leesville (five feet-Nov. 1).

Asked about the effects of a deeper drawdown to some of the people who live within those areas, Butler said there were some “system aesthetics there”

regarding if the lakes don’t freeze. Board Member Gordon Maupin was concerned about getting boats in the water and mentioned fishermen. But Board Member Robert Morehead said the boat ramp at Seneca said it has been working “no matter how deep down it gets.”

It was noted that fishermen and ramps getting their boats onto the water would vary as far as different locations are concerned. Fish-kill was also a complaint from fishermen during drawdown time, it was said. Morehead asked if the new ramp expected this year would be in place on the south campgrounds at Seneca.

“The ramp is scheduled to go in this drawdown,” Deputy Chief of Facilities Jeff Yohe said adding that, “five feet should be enough.”

Also addressed was shoreline stabilization for Pleasant Hill and Seneca Lakes with a price of $340,000. He said these would be under separate

contracts with another project at Atwood Lake but done “inhouse.”

Maupin asked how much siltation problems may be caused by shoreline erosion and/or “input from the Watershed” and what that balance might be. Chief Engineer Boris Slogar noted the work at Atwood Lake and asked rhetorically if the difference was in the soil type but noted a “marked difference” there.

“I don’t know the answer to that, I haven’t speculated is somewhat tied to soil type as well as the higher level of use at Atwood,” Butler explained, “one, just in terms of erosion but it’s also just making sure that the shorelines in front of cottage beach sites that we have are stable, as well as some of the licensed facilities that we have around the lake. So some of it is aesthetic and a lot of it is erosional in bank stabilization.”

Wheeling Hospital planning drivethrough pediatric flu shot clinics WHEELING – Wheeling Hospital is offering Saturday drivethrough flu shot clinics for pediatric patients in October.

Pediatrician Dr. Matthew Morris said, “The pediatricians here at Wheeling Hospital are pleased to be able to offer this convenient and important service to our families. Children play a pivotal role in the transmission of influenza to others in their household. They can also get seriously ill from influenza without a vaccination. We strongly encourage everyone 6 months and older to get their flu vaccine this fall.”

Also participating in the clinics are Dr. David Mosman, Dr. Claire Paxton, Dr. Laura Blosser, Dr. Loren Kaiser, Dr. Mary Hammond and Dr. Brian Vaske.

The clinics are for patients who already are up to date on their well visits and shots and do not need to come to their pediatrician’s office for the flu shots. It will allow for social distancing and offer convenience for parents and caregivers.

Hours for the clinics, to be held under the portico behind the hospital, will be 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday in October. If needed, November dates will be added.

It is recommended that patients be pre-registered for the shots with their doctor’s office, but “walk-ups” will be accommodated as long as they are patients of Wheeling Hospital pediatricians. At the clinics, the patients will be signed in, and parents/caregivers will sign consent forms.

exhaustion followed by long lasting fatigue. The CDC recommends everyone six months and older get a seasonal flu vaccine, preferably by the end of October.

“This will be our fourth year in a row offering a drive-thru flu shot clinic and I think residents of the county appreciate the convenience of being able to stay in their vehicles.” said Garen Rhome, Health Department Administrator.

“Each year we see a greater response from our community as more and more people take advantage of the drive-thru opportunity. We hope to grow that number again in year four.

It doesn’t get any easier or more convenient to get your flu vaccine than this drive thru clinic.”

Dealing with the flu can be very unpleasant – and sometimes quite costly if you have to miss work or school while sick or caring for others who are sick. Getting vaccinated for the flu each year is the best way to prevent getting the flu. Getting vaccinated against the flu is particularly important this flu season. “The community and our healthcare workers in

Harrison County have done a great job at minimizing the burden on local and regional healthcare systems during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year’s flu vaccination will be very important because it can continue to help reduce the overall impact of respiratory illnesses in our community and thus lessen the resulting burden on the healthcare system during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Rhome said. Every year, thousands of Americans die from the flu or complications from flu and millions more are impacted. Taking measures to prevent the spread of the flu helps protect residents in the community. “In light of COVID-19 and in keeping with safe practices, our nurses and staff will be prepared to make this drive-thru flu clinic a safe event. We will have on proper PPE for everyone’s protection and folks never even have to exit their own vehicle.

No standing in line or worrying about social distancing while waiting for your shot.” More information about the flu virus is available online at www.flu.gov.

“People want to talk about age and comorbidities, I don’t think that matters,” Rhome said, “if somebody who is no longer with

us who probably would still have been, right? To that, it’s a very important circumstance.”

Rhome said that around the state a record number of people are now being tested with the positivity percentage also “continuing to trend downward.” He said that number is now down to around 3 percent and might even be at 2.9 percent now.

“So, what we’re finding again is

3 that no matter how many people we test…fewer and fewer people are coming back positive,” Rhome explained.

And as of Wednesday Ohio’s case count reached 4,635 deaths out of 146,000 cases for a fatality ratio of 3.1 percent. That number is still larger than the United States, as has been the case since the outbreak but both totals have been steadily dropping. The U.S. now shows

6.93 million COVID cases and 201,000 deaths for a fatality ratio that has now dropped below 3 percent to 2.9.

In comparison to Ohio’s neighbors, Kentucky leads with the lowest count at just 1.7 percent with West Virginia a close second with a 2.1 percent fatality rate. Indiana is next at 3 percent but Michigan (5.3) and Pennsylvania (5.1) continue to have a large fatality ratios.

CADIZ – Work by the village of Cadiz described as a culvert on or near, private property last year has turned into another issue. Linda Dunlap of Charleston Street in Cadiz appeared before council at last Thursday’s meeting stating the reason the work was done was because water from her property after it rained, was running into the neighbor’s property.

Dunlap said the work was touched up to smooth it over but now more work has been done because the true source of the water runoff had been found, which she said was from another property above her house. Dunlap said that culverts placed in her yard “took over four inches from a tree that the roots are showing” and debris is

now running down her driveway.

Dunlap said now gravel is washing into her yard as one of those issues and when asked how the issue could be resolved, she told council she has been in contact with contractors about paving her driveway and replacing grass that was removed.

Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski said he had called Tim Hennis of the Cadiz street department to discuss the problem.

“It all started when we got calls from neighbors not right across the street, but down the hill that when it rained, and it rained a lot, the water would fall into their driveways and into their garages, and into their houses,” Andrzejewski explained. After investigating the problem where they witnessed during a rain the

water coming from Dunlap’s driveway as well as the neighbor’s. He said a permit had not been given to the neighbor for putting in that driveway, which he said the reason for a permit is to “take care of the drainage.”

After further inspection it was discovered that the culverts running past those properties had filled with leaves and debris.

Andrzejewski told Dunlap that village employees did her a favor by cleaning out those pipes when it is the homeowner’s responsibility to do so.

“So they cleaned that out for you, that helped the drainage… ” Andrzejewski continued. He said there was other work done on a slope of grass to correct a problem, according to Dunlap.

He also said the street department corrected a “diversion” mound on her stone

driveway because of its height, which she also wanted done and that was the part that was smoothed over and fixed.

The disagreement between the two began when Andrzejewski was told Dunlap had been there when much of the corrected work had been done and had no complaints. He said she only complained afterwards but Dunlap stated she was not out there during that work. Mayor John Migliore said in order to get the problem resolved, is to have all interested parties meet at her property and they agreed to meet next week to discuss the matter on site.

Dunlap also had a few remarks in regard to how her interaction with the street department and Andrzejewski developed. A call to the street department for comment was not returned.

Nine Out of Ten Isn’t Bad…It’s Terrible!

As we mask and fist bump our way out of Covid-19 it’s interesting to remember that there have been many plagues and pandemics down through history. Leprosy was a plague that racked civilizations in times past including the days of the Old Testament and Jesus’ earthly ministry.

The book of Leviticus has two full chapters on the rules & regs of leprosy. The bottom line was, if you have it, stay away from everyone. No mask or 6-foot distancing would matter, just stay away.

Jesus encountered ten lepers in the 17th chapter of Luke’s

gospel. These ten lepers stood far away, as they were required to do by law, and yelled for Jesus to have mercy on them. Jesus told them to go to the priest and offer the sacrifice that Moses commanded. Now comes the really interesting part.

The scripture says, “As they went, they were cleansed”. It was not an immediate healing, which was unusual for Jesus’ ministry. This was a faith walk but it was their gratitude that would be on trial.

One of the lepers, just one, when he saw that he was cleansed, went back to Jesus and with a loud voice glorified God.

He fell at Jesus feet and worshipped him. Jesus then asks the obvious question, “Weren’t there ten that were healed? Why did only one return to give thanks?”

Jesus is still asking that question today. The nine lepers who kept on going after they saw they were healed had an entitlement mentality. The thinking goes something like this; “I’m an Israelite, a child of Abraham, I’m in covenant with Jehovah. This is a benefit that God owes me this. I’ll do what ‘The Law’ requires” They didn’t go back to worship Jesus, there was no gratitude, just an

adherence to religion without any relationship.

We are all spiritual lepers that Jesus has cleaned up through his sacrifice on the cross but how many of us just keep on going, following all of what we perceive the rules to be but neglect to return to the feet of Jesus and worship him for the cleansing we have received?

We’re all good at asking intensely, but after the prayer is answered, do we return to Jesus to give praise that is as intense as the asking was? In most circumstances of life, nine out of ten isn’t bad. In this case, it’s terrible. Let’s be the lone leper. pastorkenstaley@gmail.com

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy The Smithfield Fire Department has completed a project on the fire department building and it looks fresh and clean. They did roof repair and other needed maintenance projects too and I am proud of the building and their work.

They have a firetruck ride over many miles in Smithfield, Piney Fork, Dry Fork and Bradley for Christmas. Our boys always looked forward to Santa Claus tossing popcorn balls out to awaiting hands. Thanks firemen, you do a great job.

The department had a pancake event on Sunday and for $6 you got three huge and delicious pancakes, three sausage sticks and tons of butter and syrup, along with a drink for $6. They had a drawing for a large Ohio State porch sign that I desired to win to give to Jay, a die-hard OSU fan. And why not? Part of his life savings has gone for one child to complete college and two more still going through their studies.

The change in temperature this past weekend made me realize that fall is around the corner. I love the look of fall with the gold and orange leaves on the trees and the crunch of walking through them and kicking them around.

What will the virus bring us for the next months? In looking back on the past six months, it wasn’t so bad being closeted down. I got much done in the house and other put-off duties, read a massive amount s of books and wrote letters to people I had not heard from for months. Let us just pray that a vaccine will be found soon and the world can go back to a new way of living.

I am just heart sick when a young person dies. Todd Greene, who fought cancer for what seems to me like many years, died last week. The Greenes once lived on our County Road 20 and the boys

HARRISON NEWS-HERALD | CORRESPONDENCE would hold baseball games with great competition in who won.

That was a nice time when the young people did recreational things together. You don’t see many out having fresh air fun anymore Big news in our house. We purchased one of the enclosed bathtubs that does everything in the way of water massages, with colored lights switching to different colors and a large shower head that gives a nice message if turned up high enough. I’m still afraid to let the water get up the top set of massage jets though. Several people have expressed a desire to put it to use. Maybe we can call it The McCoy Bathhouse.

Frank Hoagland, R-Mingo Junction, state representative, had a time of it with the Corona Virus in August. Frank told in a story that he caught it first and it went through his wife, Darla; his mother-in-law, Mary Ann Boyd; and other family members. The two ladies had it the worst and had to go to the hospital for treatment. Frank admitted that it got him down a bit for three days. We haven’t had any known cases in our area but we still have to be so careful, with distancing and wearing masks.

As was mentioned in the Methodist Tri-County newsletter, “With the six months of the COVAD-19 virus, it helped us to reflect on where we have been, where we are now and where we are going.

And just maybe, we found ourselves in a different light.

Maybe it is not what we went through but how we came through. Maybe we gained more than we lost and realized who matters more than what matters.

No-fly Zone! Huskies ground Jets 40-20 By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – Four weeks into the season and the Harrison Central Huskies find themselves sitting with a sturdy 3-1 record. Last week in Morristown, the Harrison County unit got back in the win column, handling the Union Local Jets (1-3) for the third straight season. Looking inside the series, the two schools have now met in 22 consecutive seasons, and with last Friday’s victory, the Huskies evened the all-time series at 11 wins each.

“It was good to get back on track after a difficult week at Bellaire. It was important for our young men to show that they are capable of handling adversity and turning the page. Not only did we not execute at Bellaire, but we also had a couple of key injuries that forced us to rally around each other and find a way to focus and succeed,” Head Coach Anthony Hayes remarked following the game.

Much like the previous three weeks, Kobe Mitchell reminded everyone why he is a several time All-Ohio selection. The senior produced five touchdowns in total against the Jets. Two on the ground, two in the air, and in one of the more un-conventional touchdowns of his career, he returned a kick over 80-yards for a score in the fourth quarter. It was quite the buffet of offense for the multiple sport D-1 prospect to say the least.

However, Mitchell wasn’t the only Harrison player to shine.

Junior Nathan Bertolino, who was ruled out in the second half of the Bellaire game, returned in week four to a new position. But it was new position-no problem for the former guard turned running back in Hayes’s offense. Bertolino toted the rock eight times for 74-yards on the night, highlighted by a 44yard run up the middle near the end of the third quarter to put the Huskies up 27-7. Bertolino’s switch to the skill position was something Hayes and his staff were keying in on for last week’s tilt in Belmont County.

“We had quite a few guys playing

different or new positions. Our message to the team since day one as a staff has been “Do your job.”

Whatever that job is, whether it is a glamorous job or a gritty job, do it as well as you possibly can. I thought that our young men did their job at Union Local. Nathan Bertolino moved from his guard position to fill the role of running back and did a fine job. Our line did a good job of protecting the quarterback and giving us running lanes,” Hayes stated.

In full, the Head Coach got a balanced team effort from his squad. Star receiver Trevor Carman had seven catches for 83yards while being on the end of one of Mitchell’s touchdown tosses. Jonathan Vermillion, Mitchell’s other favorite target, hauled in the other. Vermillion scored on a 76-yarder through the air late in the first quarter to open up all scoring. Jace Madzia added the PAT, and the Huskies led 7-0 with 39 seconds remaining in the opening frame.

Mitchell followed up Vermillion’s scoring sprint with back-to-back rushing touchdowns in the second. Madzia was successful on both with the PAT, and the Huskies were in complete control at 21-0 with 3:36 remaining in the half.

Union Local did find some life right before the break. With just under a minute remaining in the first half, Sophomore quarterback Carter Blake found Tre Rex in the back of the end zone for a 13-yard scoring toss. Parker Skedel drilled the point after to break up the scoreless half for the Jets.

Bertolino’s big run opened up the third, bringing the tally to 277, a score that would hold throughout the entirety of the quarter. Union Local brought it back to a two possession game on the first play of the fourth, but it simply wouldn’t be enough to overcome two fourth quarter Harrison scores and the already in place deficit.

Mitchell’s first ever kick return TD, which came on the heels of the Jets quarter opening score, and Carman’s 13-yard touchdown grab coupled with a Madzia PAT put the icing on the cake for the

Huskies in the fourth quarter.

“Our QB and receivers made it very difficult on Union Local to take anything away. Defensively, we had a couple of coverage mistakes that resulted in two touchdowns, and we had some missed opportunities on defense regarding third down plays that extended some of their drives. We bent and bent but we didn’t break.

I’m proud of how our defense made the necessary adjustments in the second half. We just have to keep working to improve each day. Each and every guy. Improve on the little things,” Hayes stated in summary of the outing.

Defensively, Carman and upand-coming freshman Parker Hutton both picked off errant Union Local passes. The Jets turned the ball over a total of four times, with Carman and senior Ron Pauley both recovering fumbles. Bertolino and Pauley each finished with 14 tackles. Four turnovers aside, the Huskies defense biggest possession of the game may very well have been a first and goal sequence in the early moments of the first quarter. The Jets had four chances at taking the game’s first lead and establishing some momentum, but the Huskies defense turned them away.

Mitchell finished 14 of 23 for 221-yards passing, adding another 49-yards on nine carries on the ground. The senior had a night to remember, as he clocked in at 352 all-purpose yards on the evening.

Hayes was back at the site of his first career victory for the first time, and it appears he has the Jets number. A Hayes coached team hasn’t lost in the series yet, running up an average margin of victory of 25 points in those three victories.

That being said, the competition will be considerably better in the next two weeks, starting this weekend back at Wagner Field in Cadiz. A rivalry matchup with St. Clairsville follows come Oct. 2nd.

“We have another tough one coming up this week against Martins Ferry. It goes without saying, but we will need to be better this upcoming week than we were this past week.”

By JULIE MARSHALL CADIZ - Thursday, Sept. 17, the Harrison Central boys soccer team hosted the St. Clairsville Red Devils on their home turf. From the whistle, St. C. was on the attack. With their precise passing and persistent shots on goal, they were able to net three goals in the first half and three goals in the second half to defeat the Huskies 6-0.

Junior goalkeeper Mack Marshall saved 18 shots on goal during the game. As well, everyone on the team gave it everything they had to steal the ball, to deter goals by the Red Devils and to create opportunities to score.

The Huskies Head Coach Derek Gramling encouraged his team after the game, “we have six games left; six winnable games.” When asked to reflect on the improvements his team has made over the season Gramling said of their growth, “knowing where to be and how to cut off the next pass, following their runners, and learning how each player passes and likes to receive a pass,” are skills they are developing and refining.

Gramling also commented, “This is a rebuilding year for us. St. C. is a great team and we have a small team with many young players.” The Huskies are scheduled to host the Carrollton Warriors on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 6 p.m.

18:44 left in the first half.

The second half opened up with the lead still favoring the Huskies 1-0 until freshman Angi Ferri #16 netted the Huskies’ second goal of the match. Ferri was assisted on a give-and-go by #4 Rebecca Downs and #11 Collette Downs.

Goalkeeper Britton Positano #21 held firm along with the Huskies’ defense to complete the shutout recording seven saves on the day.

Coach Mindy Madzia said, “In years past many of the bigger

schools have put up a lot of goals on us and they have held them to only five goals against us this year. I am proud of their efforts at practice and during the games.”

The stats as of now are as follows: Freshman #16 Angi Ferri four goals, Sophomore #8 Lexi Smith one goal, Senior #6 Jenna Easlick two goals and one assist by each of these girls, Senior #0 Lisa Gross, Senior #6 Jenna Easlick, Senior #17 Abbi Kelley, Senior #23 Kerstin Jeffries, Freshman #11 Collette Downs.

CADIZ – Drive-in movies were popular in the 1950s and became useful again this year when the COVID-19 virus caused worries about enclosed areas. Therefore, the Harrison County Farm Bureau annual meeting committee came up with the same idea for their annual meeting. This was necessary to commend those excelling in their membership campaign, introducing state trustees and public officials, elect a board of trustees and annual meeting delegates and to reward members and their guest with door prizes. Dairy groups and those making homemade ice cream donated pints of chocolate or white milk to go with the cookies offered and utensils to enjoy eating a special flavor of frozen product.

John Seleski, president for many years, welcomed folks in 20 cars who had turned their radios to 92.7. He said, “Despite the fact that the pandemic was causing a problem this year, the Farm Bureau continued to work on behalf of agriculture in the county, state and nation,” Seleski said. He urged members to go to https://www.fb.org/programs/fa rm-state-of-mind/ to learn more about what can be done to help

Water plant repairs put off until January

By JD LONG

CADIZ – Last Thursday Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski told council that the contractor was not able to get the necessary equipment on time and won’t begin water plant improvements until January. Andrzejewski called the delays in the company obtaining the equipment “unanticipated” and the initial construction date of October has now been put off until the first month of the new year.

“That’s okay because this project is delayed a little bit,

protect the health of yourself and those around you. He said scholarship awards were presented to McKenna Mizer and Shaelyn Anderson to pursue higher educations, three $250 donations were made to food banks and $500 to the county fair.

The fair board was thanked for the use of the grounds to hold the meeting, which was ideal for the occasion. He explained questions would be answered by blowing the car horn to be acknowledged. Voting for issues was done the same way. Keith Eddy and Damian Chrisman worked on membership, where active gain plus 6 percent was gained in the membership campaign. Eddy will be assuming the office of president this year as well. He was installed by Seleski.

Seleski introduced present officers who would be holding the same office through the next year as well. George Mizer is vice president; Samantha Trushell, secretary; Greg Knoop, organization action team leader, with Damian Chrisman, Benny Dauch, Benny Dauch, Austin Fogle, Tony Knight and Dave Mizer; and action leader, Jayne Wallace. Also introduced were Jerry Lahmers, Ohio State trustee of Ohio Farm Bureau;

that means that we will not have to start paying the payments on the loan until (2021),” Andrzejewski explained. He said they anticipate the project taking “all year” to complete and called this delay a good delay.

Also addressed, as was covered at the last meeting, was the village raising the water rate on the county. Andrzejewski said a signed letter by Mayor John Migliore, with the Village Solicitor’s approval, was sent to the Harrison County Water Board. The rate increase is in line with the contract between the two entities, which states “every five years we can raise the rate if we show that the cost in producing our water to them has gone up. Andrzejewski said that has been shown to the county board.

Andrzejewski then provided some bad news for council concerning the budget and income tax collections for 2020.

He said the income tax, projected to be $1 million, contrasts with their budget, which is listed as $1.5 million.

“It doesn’t mean we’re overspending, it doesn’t mean we did wrong projections

because the one-point five million is what we took in the previous years,” he stated to council. “We didn’t increase it we just carried it over.”

“It all has to do unfortunately with people being out of work, not paying local taxes and businesses not paying local income tax.” He said there is a chance it could reach beyond $1 million for village income but at this point they can only hope that tax collections would increase for the final three months of the year.

He said he didn’t know where in the village they could cut expenses stating they were down to minimum staffing and are only buying equipment for sustaining the day-to-day operations.

“I wanted to give you this news so council is aware of it.

I’m not crying wolf, I’m not panicking, I just need to let you guys know where we stand,” Andrzejewski said.

Also, the village will need to replace their two hand-held meter readers he said, because they are not able to hold a charge.

“The new devices we buy will be compatible with the new

software billing program,” Andrzejewski said at a cost of $4,965.50 for the two devices.

He told council the devices are too old to find replacement parts.

Andrzejewski once again covered the brand new software program for their water and sewer billing and raved about it after viewing a video demonstration. He repeated his comments from last meeting stating the new software will solve the problem and make up for the cost of buying it. He told council he’s waiting on a firm quote from the company before citing anything to council on cost.

“I will stand on this,” he began, “I will tell you within, I would say less than six months I’ll go three months, we’re going to make that thirty-thousand dollars up and more.” He is confident that the new software will root out the errors that have cost the village money.

Also, the village paving program is well underway with two alleys and “several small streets.” Andrzejewski said adding that the program will go as long as the $34,000 holds out.

Area veteran to celebrate 100

By ESTHER MCCOY Arthur A. Panepucci, known to most as Art, will be celebrating his 100th year birthday on Oct. 6. But he still has a clear and vivid memory of the day he rode the train to Columbus, on his first step of being drafted into military service with the U.S. Army. He was so excited about getting the preliminaries over and done that he jumped the line of other young draftees.

That little matter of haste didn’t work. He tells that he was sent back home for 30 days to learn to follow orders.

Panepucci thought since he was home, he might as well look for work and went to the Piney Fork mines. He didn’t want shift work so he left there for a job on the railroad. That didn’t last long either, as he was called up again to join Uncle Sam and received basic training at Fort Knox, Ky. Panepucci was sent overseas on Nov. 23, 1943, to prepare for the invasion of Europe. While in Europe, Art had the honor of being chosen as one of 10 men to be honor guard to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, president of the United States. Also in attendance was England’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill; General Dwight Eisenhower, commander of the European Theatre of Operation; and Field Marshal Montgomery.

“Being in a war will get you in the best of shape and you really need that,” he explained, as he was assigned to the 82nd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, Company B, as a gunner. Their unit entered the European Theater landing on Omaha Beach in 1944. This was two days after the initial invasion and began their job of seeking out enemy strongholds.

During this stage of fighting, the young man from Dillonvale was responsible for saving 31 men in

Arthur "Art" Panepucci has many stories to tell about his time serving Uncle Sam during World War II. He will be celebrating his 100th birthday on Oct. 6

his unit by clearing a hill for his fellow servicemen minutes before it was wiped out by German bombs.

His job was to spy on the enemy and check bridges. Once out on such an assignment, he had a shot go whizzing past his ear. In reminiscing about those years, Art said they were once situated on a hill and were to be there until a replacement came.

“A voice told me to look to the left and there was a German Reconnaissance. I told the officer in charge to get in touch with those in charge and tell them we needed to get off the hill. He came back and said to

stay. I told the officer that we really needed to get off the hill and this time they changed their minds and we moved out.

Within a short time the hill was blown up.

During the fighting in Chartes, France, Panepucci was wounded with a shot to the stomach and liver that was bleeding badly.

He spent the next 294 days in different hospitals recovering from abdominal wounds. In flying to the first hospital to care for his wounds, the airplane would hit air pockets that would cause more pain. “I had great care in the hospitals but a priest gave me the last rites on one

occasion,” he remembered. He spent four months of recovery in England; then New York, Battle Creek, MI; and the Percy Jones Hospital in St. Louis.

Panepucci would not talk of his time overseas when asked to do a story or to talk to a group for a long time. It was his own experiences and he wanted to keep them buried. He is talking more about it now and his memory is serving well.

He joined the Dillonvale American Legion Post soon after arriving back home from the service. He served there for 75 years, sometimes as commander and was honored for 60 years service back in the 1990’s. He was an overseer for the Yorkville VFW for a time and is a member of the Jefferson County Veterans Association. He has been honored many times for serving his country too.

Art received the World War II Victory Medal; the European, African, Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon, with two bronze service stars, one for the Normandy, campaign and the other for the Northern France campaign; a Good Conduct medal; the Purple Heart; and the French Freedom Medal. He received an Honorable Discharge from the Army of the United States on June 9, 1945.

Art was owner of Panepucci Service Station, that he started from his dad’s confectionary store, with the theme, “Service is our business.” He worked 16 hours a day at times at the start and held the business for 39 years. He resides in Steubenville now, with his wife, Louise. They can take it easy on a shaded patio where they can enjoy the still warm weather.

He will be wished a happy 100th birthday by his friends and have memories of the years that have gone by.

Farnsworth awaits discovery, heads towards trial

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Murder suspect Samuel Farnsworth, represented by Harrison County Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola, saw his videoconference appearance last a brief five-plus minutes. In his early August appearance a bill of particulars (BOP) and discovery issues were discussed. And according to Pincola that issue still needs addressing, which Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese did just that in Tuesday’s court proceedings.

Bruzzese asked for additional time for preparing the BOP, as well as discovery items. He told the court that recent drug cases, along with the other ongoing murder case involving Larry Smith, has bogged things down.

“Both of these impending murder cases involve evidence from lots of different agencies, jurisdictions, state agencies, local agencies [and] there’s a lot to sort through in order to make sure we have a thorough and complete bill of particulars,” Bruzzese explained.

Farnsworth, seen on screen complained several times of not being able to hear so Judge T. Shawn Hervey repeated what Bruzzese had told the court. When finished Farnsworth said he understood, telling the court it made sense when asked. His next appearance is set for Oct. 13. Bruzzese said that would be enough time to present everything needed by the defense. No trial date had been set as of Thursday afternoon.

Farnsworth is facing two charges, one for abuse of a corpse, a misdemeanor in the second degree and the murder charge, which is listed as an unclassified felony with specifications meaning: a life sentence without parole.

Larry Smith also faces the same two charges plus a third involving tampering with evidence, a felony of the third degree. He is also expected in court Oct. 13. Both are held on a bond of $2 million.

Also appearing via videoconference

was Isaiah Hackworth of New Philadelphia. He is facing charges of receiving stolen property (F4) and obstruction of justice (M2). He was represented by Travis Collins who filed for discovery, which was met by the state but is still waiting on the bill of particulars.

Bruzzese told the court four weeks would be enough to deliver a BOP when Judge Hervey offered, as that date would go past what is needed in the two murder cases. He also told the court that would be enough time to put together an offer from the state to Collins’s client.

Collins told the court his client “basically admitted he ran” calling that obstruction and that his client understood that end of it. He also said there would probably be an acceptance to an offer there. But as far as the stolen property charge, his client was the passenger and there was no evidence he knew the vehicle was stolen, according to Collins.

When Collins addressed bond where it was set at $50,000 and requested it be lowered to either a recognizance bond or $10,000, Bruzzese would not agree. He told the court “we had lots of trouble getting the defendant to court” for his initial appearance and saw no reason to have his bond lowered, which Hervey agreed.

Also, among last week’s court appearances Douglas Grim was listed incorrectly as it should have read Douglas Grim Jr. In his case he apparently was all set to plead guilty to the charge of aggravated possession of drugs but changed his mind at the last moment when he heard the deal came with a mandatory six-month license suspension. The case is now continued with Pincola representing.

Having a primary care physician (PCP) enables the doctor to monitor your health over time, gathering valuable information to make better decisions about your care. The PCP learns your health history, personality and habits. So when health issues arise, your PCP already knows a lot about you and can make comparisons, order tests, treatments and more.

Conotton Valley BoE discusses broadband

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY SHERRODSVILLE - At the September meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, Superintendent Todd Herman discussed with the Board research he has been doing to bring broadband coverage to all of Conotton’s students.

Herman told the Board that he has been in discussions with Smart Way Communications, LLC, a local, Tuscarawas County company, to look into having broadband towers erected to cover the areas between Sherrodsville and Bowerston, providing greater coverage for the rural school district.

Herman reported that he estimates this expense at approximately $100K, but that there is currently State funding in the amount of $45K. Board member Kevin Willoughby said that rural students have always lacked technological access and that the Covid-19 pandemic, and forced online learning, exposed this fact.

Board President Chris Bower inquired as to how the arrangement would work, saying that he believes that Conotton would have to commit to purchasing a set amount of services. Herman said that he believes that the $55K commitment would easily be reached by paying for service for students who do not currently have internet access.

Board member Debbie Carrothers asked how long the school would pay for this service, Herman reported that the discussions are preliminary but as of now he’s looking at the length of the school year.

Herman said that the district’s attorneys are involved and are very knowledgeable about contracts of this type. No action was taken at this time.

In other discussion, the Board approved the resignation of Travis Siegenthaler, the Varsity Wrestling Coach. Siegenthalar cited work obligations as the reason for resigning.

Board member Logan Putnam inquired as to what Herman’s plans

are for the wrestling program, in light of Siegenthalar’s departure.

Herman reported that he intended to begin advertising for a new wrestling coach.

Herman said that he believes getting a wrestling coach in place is important for the future of Conotton’s wrestling program as there are 20-25 students at the elementary level who are signed up for wrestling.

Other action: - Approved expenditures totaling $946,915.51.

- Heard mutual fund balances reported as follows: $2,879,124.96 in Unified Bank and $4,556,824.29 in Star Ohio. The balance of the Star Construction fund was reported at $5,088,201.09 with $17,327,708.65 in the US Bank Account.

Parks & recreation remain strong for Muskingum

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Last week’s meeting of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District revealed continuing positive recovery from COVID-19 in their recreational areas, with what they’re basically calling astounding numbers.

Chief Financial Officer Jim Cugliari opened the financial report with their projections for

the remainder of the 2020 year.

For General administrative revenue, it is operating at 64 percent of budget or, “fifteen percent behind nineteen (2019).” But for the main areas of interest income some bad news needed to be addressed.

“We thought we were going to be able to weather the storm somewhat but what has happened is some of our investments have gotten called, so where we thought we would have interest coming in like

every three months…they actually got called [and] we received the interest there then we had to reinvest parts,” Cugliari said.

He said they were trying to minimize the loss but added that there might be two more investments that could be called “because we invested at a higher interest rate...than what those rates are now.”

For conservation revenue, Cugliari said they are in “pretty decent shape” aside from oil and

gas and are on target to meet budget. He said for share crops it was a wait and see proposition barring flooding and weather for example.

In the area of revenue for their parks Cugliari called it “mind boggling” regarding the recovery in that area, considering the COVID situation on top of all the renovations that have taken place in the past year. He said they are up 11 percent from 2019 and currently at 85 percent of budget.

“I always got to remind myself that we have budgeted aggressively in two thousand and twenty but when we look at where we were in May (and April)…and where we are today to me the numbers are startling,” Cugliari explained.

He told the board that when counting the $500,000 where they’re in the black when it comes to park camping, that still includes the $600,000 they doled out in refunds.

Cugliari covered some of the shortfalls in vacation cabins due to COVID interference, as an example. He also said the marinas have done “extremely well” compared to earlier in the year. He said they exceeded budget in their dock areas and said the operating revenues have recovered well since the beginning of the pandemic outbreak.

Cugliari said their operating expenses were approximately $11.1 million, which was 62 percent of budget. He said that the actions taken back in April regarding expenses in vehicle usage and capital spending, along with a close monitor of all situations had paid off.

“The main thing that I said there (employee meeting)…and I want to say here is we can’t let our guard down,” Cugliari told the board.

“We need to stay very cautious… because we all know we’re not through the pandemic yet.”

Cugliari also said capital

expenditures were on pace with their budget aided by a good construction season, as he described it. In the maintenance assessment fund, they are operating at 74 percent of their budget concerning the six counties covered. At the time though, Belmont, Harrison and Stark Counties were left to report to the District. He said that in overall terms, the recovery at least concerning the recreational areas, have been good but reminded them that “the largest impact” was from their Utica Shale category.

“We’re not going to be able to make up that shortfall of about three million dollars,” Cugliari told the board, but it came as no surprise as it’s been said over the past few months.

“That does have an effect on the budget for twenty-twenty as we look at the allocation of those funds,” Cugliari said where he added a positive outlook to the end of summer and expected it to carry over into the fall months.
