County returns to Yellow status, sees four more COVID cases

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The count of COVID-19 cases continues to climb in Harrison County but there is good news on the other side of that coin with no new cases coming from The Meadows, as that group has apparently recovered fairly well from the outbreak of two weeks ago. Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome did say two individuals are still hospitalized

and both are on ventilators. Rhome said there are six active cases in the county but none from the health care facility.

Also, what was expected to happen last week was delayed by an extra week and that is the fact that Harrison County has gone from Orange status back to Yellow this week, which is more good news. He said there were no indicators flagged in this week’s data, which covers the past two to three weeks.

“We continue to advise Harrison County residents to wear face coverings in public indoor spaces. And anytime in public when social distancing cannot be accomplished,” Rhome said this week.

Rhome, in updating his statistics concerning The Meadows totals 19 confirmed cases with 15 staff members for a total of 34 confirmed cases associated with the health care facility.

Nine staff members are residents of Harrison County but six of them are

not and do not count in the county’s total COVID numbers.

“There have been two confirmed positive residents who passed away, due, at least in part to health complications associated with their COVID-19 infection,” Rhome explained in an email following Wednesday’s meeting. The number of deceased is actually three as one death was recorded some time ago and two more recently.

Wednesday, Rhome reported 67 (now

68) cases with six active and again, none connected with The Meadows. As far as age is concerned in cases reported Rhome said they are 23 to 78 years of age.

Commissioner Don Bethel told Rhome he was “fearing some shocking numbers” after the outbreak at The Meadows was revealed but stated that it now looks like a “success story instead

CADIZ - Ohio Supreme Court Justice Sharon L. Kennedy paid a special visit to the Harrison NewsHerald on Monday prior to a fundraiser being held for her at Jane’s Uptown Café, by Representative Don Jones-R (95th District).

Justice Kennedy covered an array of topics and one was the public’s right to know, as was the issue in four cases in late 2017. In all of those cases Justice Kennedy wrote the majority opinion where she appears to be taking a lead role on the issue of transparency. She also dealt what was called a “passionate dissent” in the Supreme Court’s decision where it denied the public access to autopsy reports involving the Pike County murders, which saw eight members of the same family (Rhoden) murdered.

In December of 2017 the Ohio Supreme Court handed down a 4-3 decision stating the Pike County Coroner’s Office “properly denied the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Columbus Dispatch un-redacted versions of the autopsy reports.”

Justice Kennedy, the former Butler County Court of Common Pleas attorney who served in the Domestic Relations Division, in her dissenting opinion, felt that lawmakers made autopsy reports public records and any exceptions to disclosure “for confidential law enforcement investigative records does not apply to the materials the coroner refused to reveal.”

Kennedy feels that the Public Record Act “creates a scheme that the General Assembly recognizes, these are our records not the person who holds them.”

“And what they basically tell the office record holder is, you hold these records but when the public comes in and makes the request you are to promptly provide them and if you are not going to provide them you give a statement as to why,” Kennedy explained. She added that when making a redaction in a document then notice must be given “and make it prominent.”

Justice Sharon L. Kennedy

The topic of the recent nomination of Amy Coney Barrett for United States Supreme Court by President Donald Trump was raised, she admitted she doesn’t know a whole lot about her and has read only a minimal amount of her history.

“I think she was on his first list so, when he ran the first time in twentysixteen and put forth his twenty names, I did look at those names at the time and actually did a little research on them,” Kennedy explained but hasn’t done any research this time around.

The recent death of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg being in the news and now that she’s the first justice to lie in state, Kennedy was asked if Supreme Court justices should be held on such a pedestal.

Kennedy said Supreme Court justices are appointed for life and a part of the third branch of government (judicial) “co-equal, and if presidents and senators and representatives lay in state then I’m not really sure why you would not do it for a co-equal but separate branch of government.”

Another hot topic discussed was the police situation and being a former Hamilton Police Officer herself, gave her opinion the public unrest that’s taken place around the country this past summer. She was asked what she thought could be done better and said she’s already had this discussion with

JEWETT – There is plenty to see this Halloween month as the Jewett Wildcat Center Community Center is hosting a haunted house with the majority of the large building being used. Many people came together to make it happen with all the proceeds going to benefit the Wildcat Center. And that includes the Corn Maze, which is located at 89170 Hauber Road, Jewett.

The first night to open is Friday, Oct. 2 as the haunted house will be every Friday and Saturday until the end of October, which coincides with the end of Halloween. The Corn Maze will be available each Friday through Sunday and will also run through the end of October.

Some of the people involved forming the non-profit organization to benefit the Wildcat Center are Tammy and Danny Dray, Trisha and Eric May as well as Cris and Kaci Edwards.

There is plenty to see and be scared about as Trisha May said the whole building has been put to use with things jumping out at anyone who dares to enter. Trisha said 40 actors are involved in the different stages of the haunted house and added that the building really is haunted, which has been the rumor for years now. She said two paranormal teams have already conducted investigations with one coming in just last week.

The haunted house tour at the Jewett Wildcat Community Center will begin this Friday, Oct. 2 and continue for the rest of the month each Friday and Saturday. The Corn Maze on Hauber Road in Jewett, will be every Friday through Sunday. All proceeds to benefit the Wildcat Center and all COVID precautions, which include masks are required.

All COVID safety precautions are being used and masks are required.

The cost for the haunted house tour is

$10 per person and the Corn Maze will cost $8 for adults and $5 for anyone 12 and under.

MWCD discusses water data, possible grant program

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW PHILADELPHIA – Last month the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District continued on with their videoconference meetings discussing water gauges and approving two contract renewals with the USGS. Chief of Conservation Brad Janssen covered their annual operation maintenance contract renewal for joint funding agreements with the United States Geological Survey. The work is to “install [and] operate and maintain the gauging networks within the Watershed.”

Janssen explained that the gauges in and around the MWCD lakes are a part of a broader network “across the United States for that matter, not only the state of Ohio but across the whole United States. He said these gauges provide data for climate, precipitation, temperature and water quality parameters.

He said two agreements covered “the weather station and string gauge networks” for $355,000 and the other agreement was for flood warnings in

the amount of $60,305. Janssen told the board those funds would be included in the maintenance assessment budget for 2021. The board approved the agreements.

Board Member Robert Morehead asked if those sums was all Muskingum pays for weather stations but Janssen said it was only a portion. Board Member Joanne Limbach agreed adding that it was “much bigger.”

When Board Member Clark Sprang asked if there was sufficient coverage around their lakes Janssen said he felt they did.

“But we do touch base with (US)GS and with our water quality coordinator [and] we’re constantly trying to determine if there are better locations or if we need to add or take out,” Janssen explained. “Right now we feel comfortable with where things are depending on continued monitoring analysis and trends and things like that, there could be a change at some point but we feel comfortable right now.”

Executive Director Craig Butler said there was continuing discussions with the Water Development Authority (WDA) and the Foundation for

Appalachian Ohio (FAO) to possibly investing some of their reserve funds for “both organizations to then set up some grant and/or loan programs in both accounts.”

“We have taken one step backwards and have consulted with our outside legal counsel this past week on a conference call,” Butler explained with discussions continuing. He said they wanted to be as efficient as possible if they decide to do this, before bringing a full proposal to the MWCD Board.

Butler said they’ve been told there are ways to do the investing “that would allow us to invest back into the communities.” He said disadvantaged communities would be one element for investing covering wastewater, drinking water and infrastructure improvements. He said he hoped to potentially buy up the interest to the loans, to allow for qualifying, thereby lowering the cost to the customer.

“So that’s a really innovative program,” Butler said. He added that the FAO functions under 10 categories with one being environment and

“It would be a really good coordinated activity for us to potentially invest some dollars

“What if an officer doesn’t have the tools they need to fulfill their role? Think of it like this: If your job is to respond to crises call after crisis call…you’re twentyone years of age, you have your certification from the basic academy but you’ve never had crisis intervention training, you’ve never had critical incident training…”

Kennedy asks if our police officers are being given the tools needed to effectively complete the job or, as she put it, “fulfill that mission?” She described dealing with intoxicated suspects, mentally ill or people

just generally in an agitated state, “are we giving them the de-escalation tools necessary to make informed decisions…?”

She said crisis intervention training is being taught in Ohio via former Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton’s movement and are a leader.

“But not every law enforcement officer has been trained,” Kennedy said adding that the training must be ongoing and law enforcement personnel refreshed in that training each year. She emphasized the need for crisis intervention, cultural

consciousness, as well as longterm training are needed.

“It’s all about understanding different people…” she said and within that thinking mental health treatment for officers is needed because, as with the military, they’re afraid to ask for that help. She said running between each crisis takes its toll on the officer and that can be combated with counseling each year. Kennedy said going to counseling and just venting should not be a career-ender for these officers.

symptoms do vary. He added that one of the two individuals on a ventilator is in his 60s, so not all are old people.

“The severity of how we see it hit some people is really you know, indicative and really should push us to continually be absolutely careful, because

the way it affects me is going to be different than the way it affects you and all the way on down the line,” Rhome explained adding that for some, there could not be any symptoms where someone else could end up in the hospital.

Rhome said the county has dropped way back down the list regarding cases where they were actually in the top 10 during that outbreak. But he emphasized as he has each week to continue being careful, wear masks and wash and sanitize hands.

with them and coordinate our monies with other like minded organizations in southeast Ohio, in Appalachia within our counties,” Butler explained and added that future board meetings should look forward to a full presentation once a package is organized in the areas of environmental conservation

“in the first part of next year.”

In answer to Board Member Gordon Maupin’s question of the District’s level of involvement Butler said it was “completely scalable.” For the WDA he said they would follow their program called the Fresh Water Fund where communities come to the WDA and EPA for

funding and the District could be a part of that process.

Regarding the FAO Butler called that process “extremely scalable” where the District could be their own “investment advisors” or allow the FAO to do it, “as well the projects and how the grant program is run and how the money is awarded.”

Outpatient program opening in Cadiz

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ –Businesses come in all shapes and sizes and with illegal drugs being the big business that they are, new businesses can also sprout from that tree as well, albeit somewhat limited in employee numbers. But it’s the recovery aid that is key here and one more choice for people and addiction.

Mark Welty Ph. D. and director of the Wellmore Centre in New Philadelphia brought along Clinical Case Manager Faye Olson BSN, RN to sit in on some cases heard Tuesday in Harrison County Common Pleas Court. Welty is bringing to Cadiz what he calls an intensive and all-inclusive outpatient program that will serve Cadiz and the entire county.

The plan is to move in and use the First Church of Christ at 147 N. Main Street in Cadiz and Welty said they also have connections with people who have inpatient facilities if

needed. The drug problem is huge in Tuscarawas County where Welty now has a home but he knows it’s covering the entire Ohio Valley like a blanket. But he is well aware and familiar with Cadiz and knows this community is not immune to the same problems he sees elsewhere.

Welty used to live in Cadiz and his wife is from Harrison County and feels there are not enough providers in the area.

He’s been affiliated with programs in Pittsburgh and Columbus and has seen success with positive recovery services.

They also have a contract with a psychiatric nurse practitioner for prescribing medications if necessary.

Welty said they will be as close to a full service mental health and addiction clinic as possible, within reason of course, and are certified through the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. He said they’ve been open since June of 2018 in New Philadelphia with good success. Welty said he prefers the drug Vivitrol over the

more well known Suboxone as it is a narcotic and must be taken every day. Vivitrol on the other hand, is “formulated as an extended-release once-a-month injection,” according to the Recovery Research Institute and Welty feels that better serves the addicted individual.

Welty said what they offer is a blend of services with sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays with morning and evening group therapy that will include psychiatric assessment, drug screening, medical evaluations and individual or group counseling. He said they have the capability to be sitting with one individual but watching and listening in on a group session that may be held somewhere else via teleconference.

Family history will be collected and using some genetic lineage will aid in piecing together a background to best help someone with an addiction.

Welty said, just as the courts have warned defendants in many drug cases, that relationships and who one surrounds themselves with is

paramount in steering clear of the bad road. He said occupying time for an addicted person is also a problem because without goals and too much time on their hands, it can lead them back in the wrong direction.

“One person’s recovery, that’s a tax-paying individual,” Welty said where a recovering individual will hold down a job and contribute to society. He feels the common denominator that may exist with addiction is trauma and genetics.

“Not all trauma leads to addiction and not all addictions have experienced trauma,” he acknowledged, though. Olson will come in handy to ask certain questions that Welty might not think to ask and evaluate an individual. She’ll make the follow up calls to the individual and help steer them in the right direction and hopefully, keep them there.

“We have enough links to provide services,” Olson said.

Welty plans to have his first session on Friday, Oct. 9.

October declared Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Power was knocked out in Cadiz on Wednesday but it could have been much worse as AEP Ohio was on the scene and reconnected power to more than 90 percent of the 700 customers by 3 p.m. An oil solution leaked out of the transformers when they crashed to the ground but EMA was there to limit the flow on the ground.

Heavy winds cause power outage in Cadiz

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The strong gusts of wind that hit Cadiz on Wednesday found a weak tree in the alley that runs behind the Puskarich Library knocking it into some power lines, which in turn caused a line tensioner to break snapping a telephone pole in half.

The pole held a transformer, which collapsed to the ground and causing oil from two gray drums to leak into the alley.

Power was out sometime after noon but restored in some areas rather quickly on the east side of E. Market Street.

Power to other parts of South Main Street had to wait until well into the evening before power was fully restored.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Pittsburgh could not nail down a wind velocity for Cadiz but said wind registered up to 26 mph in New Philadelphia. The NWS said a statement is normally released if wind reaches 45 mph but no statement was put out for the last day in September.

Eric Wilson of the Harrison County Emergency Management Agency was on hand to stop the spread of the oil solution running down the alley when two large gray canisters, or transformers, hit the ground and ruptured. That oil solution is used as a “cooling element” for power running through the system.

Wilson said an absorbent was laid down to prevent the solution from entering the sewer system. Power was mostly held to the main part of Cadiz but did knock out power to Harrison Hills High School. The western part of town on Lincoln Ave. was not affected.

AEP Ohio was on hand soon after and managed to connect power to parts of the village rather quickly. A spokesperson said power to approximately 700 customers went out at 12:40 p.m. and for most of them, saw their power return around 3 p.m. while a small percentage had to wait longer into the day to see their power return.

The spokesperson did say their work was completed in that alley.

CADIZ – The Harrison County Commissioners, as tradition, have once again approved of a proclamation declaring the month of October Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This year’s theme is “Awareness plus Action Equals Social Change.”

Wednesday, Chelsea Scott and Danessa Stoltey of the Tri-County Help Center appeared before the board and read the proclamation and as usual, provided the dreaded statistics of abuse at the hands of domestic violent abusers.

The proclamation included the notion that each person does have the right to live in a non-violent home and “it is the goal of this administration for our communities to be safe.” Domestic violence does affect all citizens and isn’t confined to any one race, gender, age, religion, geographic or economic group.

One in three teenagers, one in four women, as well as one in 10 men “will experience domestic violence during their lifetime with 1 in 15 children exposed to domestic violence each year.” Another fact that jumps out is when it is most dangerous for a victim and that is when they attempt to leave their abuser. A victim is “70 times more likely to be murdered after leaving an abusive partner, an 72 percent of murder-suicides involve intimate partners.” Domestic violence is also the third leading cause of homelessness, according to the National Coalition to End Domestic Violence, as stated by Scott.

“The economic impact of domestic violence includes a total loss of 8 million days of paid work each year, the equivalent to 32,000 full-time jobs with 21-60 percent of victims losing their job each year due to reasons stemming from domestic violence,” Scott stated.

The proclamation continues by informing the public that a “coordinated community effort” will stop domestic violence, as it violates a person’s privacy, dignity and security.

aided in securing emergency shelter to 25 survivors and children for a total of 1,052 nights and legal advocacy for 111 victims. Also, 642 survivors received counseling and 344 got through to crisis hotline calls.

“Domestic violence is here, it’s in our communities [and] too often we look at domestic violence and want to look for a broken nose or a black eye on a woman,” Scott explained, “and instead we need to be educated about domestic violence to know that it’s much more than that.” She emphasized the fact that domestic violence is not just experienced by women but by men also. And according to statistics, she said that not only 1,880 women in Harrison County are likely to experience domestic violence but also 752 men in the county as well.

She said domestic violence is not just physical but emotional too that reaches into financial and economical situations through intimidation factors, where children can be used in a game of control, as well.

Scott informed the board that their mission is to incorporate the change of getting the message out and taking action, which is in line with their theme. She said they not only give counseling to domestic violence

victims but to others as well. This, along with a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter and legal advice.

Scott also said all of their in-person activities have been canceled due to COVID but are conducting

activities virtually. She also encourages the public to check in on their Facebook page for announcements and helpful information.

The Commissioners thanked Scott and Stoltey for their work and Commissioner Don Bethel noted the emotional side of domestic violence because a person can’t see that as clearly as the physical abuse.

He said that type of abuse is longer lasting and wondered how many people who are experiencing domestic violence but don’t report it.

“The Harrison County Board of Commissioners reaffirms the commitment of the County of Harrison, State of Ohio, to reducing violence in our homes, as well as on our streets. We urge all citizens to participate in the activities planned

by Tri-County Help Center, Inc. during this month. Citizens should take this opportunity [to] educate themselves about the impact of domestic violence and to become familiar with resources and programs available,” the proclamation reads.

Holloway Ohio, Belmont County (right on the Harrison County line) was first known as Dunvale, named after Monroe Dunn who owned acres of ground in the center of the village. The town now bears the name of Holloway named after Isaac Holloway, an outstanding figure of the community in recognition of his energy and assistance in the building of the new railroad through these parts. Information from "Holloway Old Timers Reminisce" by Glenn Helter. Picture copied from "Growing Up in Holloway" - Facebook posted by Bob Crawford. The Holloway Fire Department is holding a fund drive to purchase personal protective equipment for some new volunteers. Donations may be sent to Holloway VFD, Fundraising Committee, PO Box 176 Holloway OH 43985-0176.

Good News

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

How to Glorify God; It’s Not as Hard as You Think!

You don’t have to board a slow boat to Borneo and make a 10year commitment to minister to natives who have leprosy, malaria and worship Satan in order to glorify God. We can do it right where we live.

David said in Psalm 86, “I will give thanks to you Lord with all my heart and glorify Your name forever.” That’s a realistic goal for all of us. There are basically two ways we give God glory, upward and outward.

Upward by how we conduct our one on one life with him, our thankfulness, our alone time with him and our worship. It’s not just for the angels to say “Holy, Holy, Holy” it’s our job too. The awesome thing is that God longs for us to be close to him. James 4:5 says, “Do you suppose it’s for no reason that the Scripture says, ‘He (God)

yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us’?

Of course, God’s jealously isn’t like ours.

His jealousy is holy, ours…not so much. If you’ve ever been the parent of a small child, it would not sit too well with you if your little one wanted to be with everyone else and not you.

We can also give God glory by our thankfulness to him.

Thanksgiving is not just a once a year event, it’s a way of life.

Years ago, my wife and I used to do a church service at a nursing home. Every time we went, we were greeted by one of the residents named Irene. When you asked Irene how she was doing she would always say, “Oh I’m blessed, the Lord has been so good to me.” Irene was a double amputee, her husband left her when she was young, she

had one son incarcerated for life and a daughter who rarely came to see her; but Irene’s thankfulness always outweighed her circumstances. She gave God glory. I’ll never forget her.

Another way we get to give God glory is by our obedience to his Word. Jesus said, “If you love me you will obey my commands.”

We’re not supposed to let his Word go in one ear and out the other. We are to obey and act on what we hear. It gives Him glory.

We also glorify God by our outward life with people, the life that everyone else gets to see.

Jesus said, “By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and prove that you are my disciples.” We give him glory by our kindness to people, from family to church members to strangers and how we value

them.

The apostle Paul told the Thessalonians to “live a life worthy of his call…then the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him.”

Still another way to glorify God is by giving our testimony.

Jesus met the woman at the well whose life and reputation was less than stellar. She gave him glory by going back to her village and telling anyone who would listen, “Come meet a man who told me everything I ever did.” She didn’t quote chapter and verse, she didn’t go to seminary, she simply proclaimed his goodness, she gave him glory.

Our unity with other believers, our tongue, our serving and our willingness to take up our cross and follow him all give God glory. We are in the glory business, not ours…His! pastorkenstaley@gmail.com

KATE’S TAKE: PAST & CURRENT ISSUES iN LAW AFFECTiNG OUR HOME iN HARRiSON COUNTY

Property Law: A Layered Cake or a Bundle of Sticks?

By Attorney Kate Knight Kimble What would you rather have – a layered cake or a bundle of sticks? Let’s be honest – that is an odd question, and one that probably has an obvious choice for most people. I would hazard to wager that most people would take a beautifully layered cake over a bundle of twigs (unless maybe you are needing to start a fire). You might be surprised, then, to learn that a layered cake and a bundle of sticks are two common ways to discuss and think about real property rights.

I am not sure who came up with the ideas of real property as a layered cake or bundle or sticks, so I cannot give credit to that innovator. Real property in its purest form of ownership is called a fee simple absolute. If you own real property in fee

simple absolute, you own that real property in its greatest form of ownership possible. Now, as many people are aware from personal experience, whether it is as a renter, lessor, or grantor of an easement, for example, an owner of real property can sell, give, lease, or otherwise devise a specific interest in their real property to another person.

This is how we get to the idea of the layered cake or the bundle of sticks.

The Layered Cake Imagine this: a beautifully layered cake with fruit filled layers, gorgeous icing, and maybe even a molten center.

Now think about those layers being made of coal, stone, oil, gas, subsoil, and even the core of the earth. Think of the pretty icing being your front yard.

That’s how we think of real property rights as a layered cake.

Around Harrison County for

Around the County Welcome to fall! The temperatures are changing as well as the leaves, they are beginning to turn to their red, orange, and yellow colors. We live in wonderful area with the rolling hills and trees in their full fall beauty. This time of year is a nice time to take a drive around the lakes and county to see just how lucky we are to live in such a splendid area.

The Jewett Wildcat center will once again be having the Harco House of Horrors beginning Oct. 2. Doors open at 6:30 with

tours beginning at 7:15; cost is $10 per person and it will be held every Friday and Saturday in October. They are also hosting the Wildcat Corn Maze located at 89170 Hauber Rd. Jewett. It opens at 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays through the month of October. Cost is $8 for adults, $5 for kids 12 and under.

The Harrison County Visitors Center held a Junk in the Trunk Sale on Sept. 26 with 35 vendors selling their goods and many shoppers picking up deals. They

sure, we are familiar with coal – if you have even bought or sold coal rights, or even own land that has already been mined or stripped, you probably know that coal is bought and sold by the seam. That is to say that the landowner sold a specific seam of coal, but did not sell other property rights tied to the land.

In the same vein, many landowners have leased only certain depths below the surface of their property to oil and gas companies. We are essentially only selling, buying, or leasing certain layers of the cake.

A Bundle of Sticks We can also imagine a landowner with his arms full of a bundle of sticks – each stick representing an interest or a right to the real property. That landowner (or a prior owner of their property) has probably granted an easement to a power company, or maybe rents out

the house on the property to a renter. As the landowner grants or sells varying interests in the property to others, he is handing over one stick in his bundle.

Each stick is an interest in the property and can be divided and separated as the owner wishes.

So, if you own, rent, or lease any interest in real property, you have an interest in a stick or a layer of cake.

to have one in memory of a loved one. Cost is $50 and that covers the cost to have it made, put up and stored until the next year. To renew your snowman from last year the cost is $20, you need to contact the Visitors Center.

face.. And maybe put a few pumpkins and corn stalks out in the yard.

Not much happening here. My nephew, Kerry Toth, celebrated a birthday on Sept. 30. They have a real scene in the front yard, with gigantic blow-ups of a black cat, a terrifying life-mummy that moves with the wind and some other ugly creatures. There is a cute unicorn that 4-year-Lucy insisted had to be out there too.

There was great improvement on the corner of Main and High Street in Smithfield when the home that was falling to ruin was torn down and the land was leveled and seeded with grass. At one time a family lived there and even raised children. The children grew up and left and the owners became older and had to leave the big house in time. I see that happen in so many places. It is so sad to see something that held so many memories just fall apart.

The Smithfield American Legion Post 396 will be holding a dance on Halloween. I don’t know if costumes will be worn or not. For three years, at a former employment, some of us crazies dressed for the season. One year, I was a big chicken with those floppy, orange feet that poultry seem to navigate on so smoothly.

But not me. And going up and down steps was a real danger. I even carried around several decorative eggs. Another time I was a hippy with a long, blonde wig with a do-rag wrapped around it to keep on my head, a tie-dye cotton shirt, jeans, boots and I even traced a few pseudo tattoos on my arms. The last one was a big white bunny rabbit. I had a newspaper carrier bag over my shoulder with a sign that said, “Your news delivered quick as a bunny.” I won a gift certificate each year, even if a I made a real sight of myself.

I want wish Virginia Glenn a belated birthday that was on Sept.

29. She; Curt, her husband; and Lamont; and I sat around their big dining room table and had birthday cake and coffee. All the problems of the world were almost solved in that time.

Don’t have much of anything else to say this week.

Purple Riders run through Huskies By: D.J. Watson NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – If Wagner Field were a racetrack last Friday night, then Harrison Central’s Kobe Mitchell and Martins Ferry’s Evan Carpenter put on their best Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin impersonations. The affair was an all-out sprint to the finish, and Carpenter’s ride had just a little more in the tank to take the checkered flag. The bruising 215-pound senior led the Purple Riders (3-2) to a 3634 victory over the home standing Huskies (3-2) in what was nothing short of a great high school football game. It was two conflicting styles, two divisional rivals, and two gridiron stars that produced what can already be considered a classic in the all-time series.

Those conflicting styles combined to move the sticks 48 times, score 70 points, and tally up 848 total yards of offense.

The Purple Riders rushed their way to victory, with 413-yards on the ground, versus 83-marks through the air on just six completed passes. The Huskies on the other hand found more balance, but it was the passing game that kept them in the ballgame till the very end. Kobe Mitchell tossed for 230-yards on a 17 for 29 QB line. As has been the case the past three weeks, his legs were just as important.

Mitchell added another 77yards on the ground against the

Riders. In fact, last weekend marked the third straight outing that the signal caller accounted for over 300 all-purpose yards.

Harrison’s offense looked much like it has all year, with a gifted set of skill players pushing the envelope in high-flying fashion. It was the defense however that didn’t quite make the grade. Even forcing two turnovers wasn’t enough to overcome a long night of missed tackles.

Head Coach Anthony Hayes summed up the night in a few short thoughts following the

deflating result. “No matter what offense or defense you scheme up, the game of football comes down to blocking, tackling and turnovers. Always has and always will. We blocked fairly well. We took care of the ball. We did not tackle. You can’t expect to win if you don’t tackle.

All said and done, we had well over 20 missed tackles. Pretty tough to win or expect to win when that happens,” Hayes stated.

Hayes wasn’t wrong. On at least three of Martins Ferry’s touchdowns, the Harrison

Jr. High Huskies take on Martins Ferry MARTINS FERRY - The Harrison Central Jr. High Huskies traveled to Martins Ferry’s Purple Rider field last Thursday.

Coach Orion Benger had high hopes for his 3-0 team. The Huskies got off to a slow start with the first quarter ending in a 0-0 score.

The purple riders scored in the second; however, the Huskies would not stay down for long. Mykel “Q” Quito got loose scoring the next three touchdowns on runs of 16, 2 and 38 yards. He also scored all three extra point conversions, at times with a gaggle of riders trying unsuccessfully to stop him.

Landon Thomas also scored, after recovering a teammate’s fumble and running into the end zone. The extra point conversion was successfully completed by Niko Wurschum.

Mykel Quito would go on to score another touchdown on a 43 yard scamper with extra point conversion as well. After two Rider touchdowns, Niko Wurschum completed the Huskies scoring with a 65yard touchdown as well as the extra points.

Martins Ferry then scored a final touchdown late in the game, ending the scoring at 48-28 in favor of the Huskies.

defense had multiple chances at bringing the Purple Riders down before the pylons, and it wasn’t just Carpenter who stung the Huskies. Junior Chase Goff ran for 130-yards as well, adding a score to Carpenter’s three touchdowns. The Purple Riders converted on three two-point conversions, the last of which broke the tie and proved to be the game-winning snap in the fourth quarter.

Harrison held a 34-28 lead well into the final frame. What is likely most frustrating for Hayes and his staff is that with

that one possession lead, the Huskies were driving in the fourth to go up two scores, but the drive ultimately stalled out on penalties and missed opportunities.

Ferry forced Harrison into a punt with 7:10 remaining. The Purple Riders then proceeded to go on an 86-yard scoring drive that capped all scoring and put them in front for good.

However, in a race that seemed it wouldn’t end, the Huskies were coming out of turn four with the ball in hand, and clean air out in front of an offense that

hadn’t been slowed down much of the night. After the Purple Riders took the 36-34 lead, the Huskies got the ball with just over five minutes to play.

A drive that started at their own 44 landed the Huskies as deep as the Purple Riders 33yard line, but an untimely penalty followed by a Purple Riders sack in the backfield shut the door on any late game heroics. Before the mental breakdowns, it was not out of

Harrison Central and Edison tie 1-1

BY JULIE MARSHALL On Thursday, Sept. 24, the Harrison Central boys’ soccer team traveled to Edison High School to compete on their brand-new turf field.

It was a very evenly matched contest and possession of the ball changed constantly. The Huskies only goal was off a penalty kick by junior cocaptain Ben Puskarich with about 10 minutes left in the first half. Edison’s only score came during the second half also due to a penalty kick with about 22 minutes left to play in the game.

The game ended in a 1-1 tie.

The Huskies goalkeeper Mack Marshall nabbed 11 saves during the game. Head Coach Derek Gramling was “disappointed with the outcome of the game.” He continued, “We are a much better team than we showed tonight. We defended well but we had way too much

The Huskies are scheduled to play at home against

Caldwell High School on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. and at Magnolia High School on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 5:30 p.m.

Harrison Central volleyball defeats Bellaire, loses to St. Clairsville

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - The Betty Crocker Company could not have written a better recipe for something good and complete as what was mixed by the Harrison Central varsity volleyball team on Thursday in Cadiz. Each of the Husky team members brought a little something special to the table, mixed it all together and came up with a perfect win dosage.

It would be a hard day of work for the visiting Lady Purple Riders of Martins Ferry, as the Huskies turned them back in three straight sets. The Thursday evening sweep by the varsity provided some hard hitting defense that would end with Harrison registering scores of 25-13, 25-11 and 25-20.

Adding to the success recipe of the game were Lexi Ferguson who put up 30 assists and eight aces; McKayla Dunkle had 22 monstrous kills, Maddy Butler

tossed in 11 digs and Becca Banks sprinkled in five kills of her own. The reserve squad lost in two straight sets.

On Monday the Huskies were in St. Clairsville to take on the Lady Red Devils. They would lose that contest in four sets and by scores of 25-14 (HC), 22-25, 25-17, 25-16 (all St. C.).

Individual stats from the contest saw Butler with 11 digs, Ferguson with 11 assists and nine digs and Dunkle with 11 blocks and nine kills.

HC golfers place fourth in Division II play

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - The 2020 Sectional for Division II - Boys Golf Tournament was held at the Cadiz Country Club this past Monday.

While qualifying, the Huskies ended the competition in fourth place (343) behind first place

Beaver Local (327), second place Barnesville (340) and third place Cambridge (342).

In looking at the scoring, it is obvious that the competition was very close. The top four teams and top four individuals not on qualifying teams make the district tournament at Eaglesticks.

For Harrison Central, Todd Dunlap’s Huskies individually

scored as follows: Sam Santille 40, 39, 79, Aiden Sliva 45, 39 84, Trever Thompson 44, 42 86, Heath Clay 48, 46 - 94 and Wyatt Foreman 50, 58 - 108.

Also, of the four qualifying teams, Beaver Local’s Eyster finished at 39, 39 - 78, Barnesville’s Carter Wells 38, 41- 79 and Cambridge’s A J Wilkens scored a 38, 41 - 79.

Junior high volleyball loses to Conotton Valley

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - Saturday in Cadiz, the Harrison Central’s eighth grade volleyball team (3 and 12) lost to visiting Conotton Valley (11 and 2) by two straight sets and scores of 25 - 14 and 25 19. Though the Huskies lost to

the visitors, the outcome was deceiving in the way of performance. The two squads put on a show with several back and forth volleys, with each collecting a portion of the outcomes.

Against the Lady Rockets Harrison did mostly everything right, but missed a little in digs and net play. However, all of

that will change with more time on the court. But be not dismayed, the Huskies will be bringing some talent to the reserve volleyball team next season. The composition of the current eighth grade team will offer height, agility and experience to coaches Sarah Hawthorne and Lyndsay Hennis’ squads.

HUSKIES

From PREVIOUS the question to consider the Huskies could have won the game on a field from the redzone, as the Harrison staff had a capable placekicker in sophomore Jace Madzia warming up on the sideline.

The Huskies led 13-8 after the first, thanks to a pair of 1-yard dives from James Brooks and Caleb Cowans. It was an opportunistic defensive effort that led to both scores, as Mitchell and Brooks both picked off passes to set up the scoring drives that produced the early lead.

The Purple Riders responded in the second with a pair of touchdowns of their own from Goff and Carpenter to take a 20-13 lead into the lockerrooms at the intermission.

Harrison tied things up on a Mitchell to Trevor Carman connection to open up the second half. Madzia nailed the PAT and the game was knotted at 20. The third quarter was an entertaining 12 minutes, as Ferry would go back in front 28-20, but the Huskies were quick to answer. Mitchell scampered in from six yards out, but the two point conversion failed. Score now posted at 2826 in favor of the Purple Riders.

There were four lead changes in total on the night, but it was the Huskies third quarter takeover that rings in as the most impressive. On a fourth and goal from the Riders 21-yard line, Mitchell placed a perfect

7 ball in the corner of the endzone to Jonathan Vermillion. The QB then added the two pointer and the Huskies were in front 3428, their first lead since the early moments of the second quarter.

The third ended with the Huskies leading, but the Riders running game then completely took the script and ran to the busses with it.

While a great game to watch, it wasn’t an easy game to swallow for Hayes and his staff.

“Martins Ferry tried to throw it and we picked it off. We made them one dimensional, just as you hope to do in a game, but tonight it didn’t matter. They ran it to victory. They did what they needed to do and we came up short. Tackling has been a problem all year for us. We’ve been able to make up for it in previous games but it caught up to us tonight just like it did at Bellaire. We need to fix that and do so in a hurry,” Hayes added.

Carman finished with 89yards on seven catches. Brooks caught five passes out of the backfield for 73-yards, and Vermillion hauled in four tosses

for 64-yards. Brooks added 36yards on the ground to compliment Mitchell’s ground game.

With COVID-19 impacting all of our lives, the pandemic has creeped into the format of the OHSAA playoffs this year as well. All schools are eligible in 2020, and that isn’t the only change. The coaches voted on seeding this year, much like they do in nearly every other sport.

The good news for Harrison is, for the first time in school history, a playoff game will be played at Wagner Field. In Division V Region 17, the 15th seeded Huskies are set to meet the 18th seeded Rootstown Rovers on Oct. 10 with a start time of 7 p.m.

This is not to say this weekend’s game has no importance. It’s St. Clairsville coming to town.

It’s Homecoming. It’s the coal bucket after all, and for the first time since the 2010 matchup; the coveted lumps of coal (thanks to last season’s upset victory) will start the night on the sideline of the Huskies.

Harrison Hills teacher wins teacher of month

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Harrison Hills teacher Rick Hlivko, after being nominated by the Ohio Lottery Teacher of the Month with two others, won the award from this area.

Principal Ken Parker nominated three teachers for Ohio Lottery Teacher of the Month, Snider announced and Hlivko won. Hlivko, who is an upper level math teacher, will receive a gift card and some other gifts as well.

“Our teachers are as good as Cleveland’s and Canton and anywhere else,” Parker said when he noticed many of the winners have been from the bigger cities.

Also, Board President DJ Watson addressed issues regarding some school projects hampered by the COVID epidemic with one being the softball field. Watson stated that a recent meeting with Hammond Construction that they may be “close to getting the bids out.”

“All in all, I mean I know we were struggling a little with the timeline there so, it seems that they feel as though they’re getting that back on track,” Watson explained. Snider agreed

and said the compaction of the physical site was completed and finalizing the area in preparation for moving forward.

Watson commented on how activities take priority before beginning construction with weather being a factor in the winter. Snider said they hoped for a mild winter but said she believed work would continue into the winter months.

Director of Operations Mike Saffell reported that things are going well with bus pickups and drop-offs. He told the board that routes were beginning to increase and turn towards normal.

“I just got a message that another student wants transportation so it’s slowly starting to work its way back,” Saffell explained. “Bus problems honestly, our ridership is down so our bus problems are down.”

Concerning safety issues and cleaning their busses, Saffell said they disinfect around three to four times per day, which is in contrast to what other schools are doing at a lower rate, according to Saffell. He added that trying to stay ahead of the COVID situation in keeping everything disinfected is the hardest job.

Saffell said some adjustments were necessary for temperature

taking but things are still going well. And according to the Ohio State Department of Health guidelines a temperature of 100.4 is the mark where people should stay home for at least 10 days of quarantining.

The board announced that Homecoming will be Oct. 2 but they noted, as precaution, there is no homecoming dance this year.

“To ensure the safety of not only the students but the staff that would have to organize it… so, not this year,” Superintendent Dana Snider explained.

Puskarich Public Library System to receive hotspots through Foundation for Appalachian Ohio Partnership Foundation for Appalachian Ohio Partners with Facebook and T-Mobile to Help Address Region's Digital Divide CADIZ – Appalachian Ohio's communities have long faced a digital divide. Compared to the state's non-Appalachian region, Appalachian Ohio experiences slower internet connections, and fewer households are connected to the internet. That's why the I'm a Child of Appalachia® Fund at the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) is working with Facebook and T-Mobile to improve internet access for students and families.

"The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is helping to fill a critical need for people in Southeast Ohio who have been left behind when it comes to connecting to reliable, high-speed internet," said Lt. Governor Jon Husted. "The Governor and I are grateful to Facebook and T-Mobile for helping to make these efforts possible and for being a part of the solution we all continue to work toward of ensuring every Ohioan can access the modern education system, modern economy, and modern healthcare system through

broadband internet."

FAO, Facebook, and T-Mobile will each contribute to libraries and schools in the region to help support their work to address gaps in connectivity throughout Appalachian Ohio's communities.

"The children and families of Appalachian Ohio face a true barrier to education, accessing telehealth options, and connecting digitally to the opportunities that will help them thrive," said the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio's President & CEO, Cara Dingus Brook. "We are grateful to work with Facebook and T-Mobile to help Appalachian Ohio bridge this digital divide as internet access continues to be especially critical."

FAO's I'm a Child of Appalachia Fund will provide libraries with hotspots, which library patrons may check out just like books through hotspot lending programs.

These programs help individuals access remote learning, telehealth, remote work, and other vital services. Targeting communities

identified as having the greatest need for new or expanded hotspot lending programs, the initiative will support library systems in Athens, Harrison, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Vinton, and other Appalachian Ohio counties with a total of 240 hotspots. Among these library systems is the Puskarich Public Library System, which will receive 15 hotspots through the partnership.

"We know that lack of access to the internet is a barrier for so many people who call Harrison County home, and we are thrilled by the opportunity to expand our hotspot lending program," said the Puskarich Public Library System Director, Sandi Thompson.

FAO will also deploy Wi-Fi access points to school districts across the region based on the need for devices. As districts offer remote or hybrid learning, or prepare for the possibility of a return to remote learning, these access points will provide more options for students

without reliable internet connections while also enhancing connectivity within school buildings.

"Back-to-school looks different this year – parents, teachers, and students are facing a myriad of challenges, including many students needing access to reliable internet for distance learning," said Dr. Adam Seldow, director, education partnerships at Facebook. "Facebook is committed to helping bridge the digital divide, and by collaborating with FAO to address some of the more immediate connectivity needs faced by the Appalachian community, we aim to create a positive impact for children and their families."

As part of this program, Facebook is donating access point technology and hotspots for schools and libraries across Appalachian Ohio and six months of unlimited data service on T-Mobile's network for that technology. Through its EmpowerED program, T-Mobile

will supply another six months of unlimited data service on their wireless network and customer support for the hotspots and access points.

"Families in Appalachian Ohio face tremendous barriers due to lack of broadband access and infrastructure – preventing them from accessing equitable education and opportunities," said Dr. Kiesha Taylor, national education administrator at T-Mobile. "TMobile believes in the power of connectivity and the potential it offers for all Americans – in communities big and small, urban and rural. We are proud to play a part in making an impact for communities throughout this region."

This I'm a Child of Appalachia Fund initiative builds upon recent I'm a Child of Appalachia Fund grants to fund community WIFI access points at schools and in communities throughout Appalachian Ohio and to develop a report to track the region's

progress in overcoming the digital divide. FAO's emergency response to COVID-19 also included funding to increase digital connectivity. The I'm a Child of Appalachia Fund is dedicated to meeting the most pressing needs and pursuing the most promising opportunities for people and communities throughout the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio. The Fund works across FAO's five Pillars of Prosperity: Arts & Culture, Community & Economic Development, Education, Environmental Stewardship, and Health & Human Services.

To learn more about this initiative or to support the I'm a Child of Appalachia Fund with a gift today, contact FAO at 740-753-1111 or visit www.AppalachianOhio.org.

It is important to note, however, that although we will be following national best practices, we cannot guarantee a COVID-19 free environment.

A summary of the main safety procedures are listed below. A complete Polar Express Safety Plan is available upon request.

Guests can call 740-922-6776, visit dennisondepot.org or email

polarexpress@dennsondept.org for questions and additional details on the safety protocols A quick summary includes: - All guests will be required to wear a mask on the property and during the train ride in alignment with Governor Dewine’s Mandate. (Ohio’s exceptions allowed, including children ten and under do not need to wear masks.)

- Social distancing will always be in place from line-up, boarding, seating during trip, deboarding and picking up any pre-ordered items.

- Groups will be seated together in their own “family bubble” with a barrier row between them and the next group to increase the amount of room for social distancing.

- Cleaning procedures will be greatly increased for the safety of everyone.

- The train rides are being sold at 50 percent capacity to ensure plenty of room to social distance.

Have you ever encountered a wild animal that you thought was in distress, but you didn’t know where to turn? Keep in mind that human intervention is always a wild animal’s LAST resort for survival and NEVER its best hope. Sometimes, however, humans do have to intervene when an animal is tangled in fishing line, stuck inside a dumpster, or seemingly disoriented in a busy neighborhood.

It can be difficult to know what to do when you come

across a wild animal that might need help. The very first step should always be to get informed by a professional.

Visit wildohio.gov or call 1800-WILDLIFE to be connected to your nearest Wildlife District Office. By reaching out, you can locate licensed, trained, and properly certified wildlife rehabilitation specialists who can help guide you in the right direction. Help wildlife stay wild by getting them care they need and when they need it.

Deer hunters head to the woods for start of archery season COLUMBUS – Hunters had their first opportunity to pursue white-tailed deer during the 2020-2021 archery season when it opened on Saturday, Sept. 26, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.

Approximately 375,000 people hunt deer in Ohio, making it the most sought-after animal in the state.

"Ohio hunters can expect another fantastic year of deer hunting," said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker.

"We have some additional public land hunting opportunities and welcome all hunters. In addition,

the new HuntFish OH mobile app provides hunters more flexibility to report their harvest, and offers additional resources while people are in the field. We are looking forward to another safe and successful season."

Ohio's 2020-2021 deer seasons include: - Archery: Sept. 26, 2020 - Feb. 7, 2021 - Youth gun: Nov. 21-22, 2020 - Gun: Nov. 30 - Dec. 6, 2020, and Dec. 19-20, 2020 - Muzzleloader: Jan. 2-5, 2021 Archery hunting continues to be a popular activity for Ohio's hunters. Last season, 48% of the total deer harvest (88,106)

resulted from archery hunts. For the seventh year in a row, more deer were harvested during the archery season than the weeklong gun season. By comparison, just 15 years ago the archery season accounted for less than 30% of the annual harvest.

During the 2019-2020 deer season, 184,468 deer were reported harvested by hunters, including 80,138 bucks. The 10 counties in Ohio with the highest deer harvest last season were: Coshocton (6,715), Tuscarawas (5,781), Ashtabula (4,949), Muskingum (4,929), Licking (4,878), Knox (4,746), Guernsey (4,524), Holmes (4,507), Carroll

(3,843), and Trumbull (3,668).

During the 2019-2020 season, landowners reported harvesting 51,924 deer, about 28% of the total harvest. The proportion of the landowner harvest has increased substantially from 1995, when it was 19%, and has remained between 26-28% of the total harvest since 2005.

In Ohio, hunters may take only one antlered deer regardless of location or method of take.

Deer limits are determined by county, and hunters cannot exceed a county limit. Deer hunting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes past sunset for all deer seasons.

Additional details and requirements for deer hunting are contained in the 2020-2021 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations booklet, available where licenses are sold or at wildohio.gov.

Hunters are reminded that only one antlerless deer may be taken from Ohio's public hunting areas per license year. In addition, from Dec. 7, 2020, through Feb. 7, 2021, no antlerless deer may be taken from public hunting areas in Ohio, excluding controlled hunts. A list of public hunting areas can be found at wildohio.gov.

The Division of Wildlife

remains committed to carefully managing Ohio's deer population through a combination of regulatory and programmatic changes. The goal of Ohio's Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists.

For more information about hunting in Ohio download the HuntFish OH mobile app or visit wildohio.gov. Follow the Your Wild Ohio Hunter Facebook page for hunting tips and useful information as you get outside this season.
