ADENA – It was revealed at Tuesday’s council meeting that a developer has expressed interest in possibly developing the old school property. Council Member RJ Konkoleski carefully explained that the situation is only a possibility and isn’t exactly sure how serious the person is.

“We have been approached, we have not made any kind of commitments, I’m not even sure how real this person is necessarily but, we’re investigating it,” Konkoleski stated. He stressed that this

RJ KONKOLESKI developer is concerned over confidentiality issues but after conferring with their Solicitor Adam Martello, felt the issue should be discussed in an open meeting.

“But essentially what we have is, a commercial real estate developer from Columbus, Ohio who puts together land deals for retail establishments,” Konkoleski explained adding that after the developer prepares the site, he will then shop it for the best possible situation. Konkoleski said he has verified that this developer has worked on the Loews in Wheeling, W.Va., “and the WalMart in Moundsville.”

New Athens’ council angry over water line setup

By JD LONG

NEW ATHENS – A waterline project along Ohio 9 that New Athens’ council was reluctant to approve has come back to bite them somewhat. A customer, who requested a waterline to his property that would eventually branch out to other customers that he is supposed to be responsible for, is not being paid for, according to Village Administrator Tosha Giesey.

Monday evening, Council Member Mark Arnold let off some steam after Giesey, during her report, cited several unpaid water bills, one of which turned out to be customers off that line but not the main customer. Discussion led to whether individuals could be shut off and also whether the pit that holds the shut off could be secured. Arnold said if they can’t be locked then they need replaced.

“This is an ongoing issue with these people,” Arnold said. “They’re constantly writing bad checks, shut off notices, they’re out of town to start

with. We owe them nothing.” He continued stating that the customers need a way to secure their own shut off valve.

Giesey interjected and said that WesBanco returned a check for $226 from the “property up on the hill.”

“We don’t have any way to shut them off without shutting off the guy before them,” she told council. She said when shutting the valve off at the bottom of the hill it shuts all the customers off at the top, which Arnold said is the problem. Discussion continued with Arnold becoming more agitated after questions concerning why is there no way to shut individual lines off without shutting everyone off.

“You guys are killing me man, I’m getting, like pissed,” Arnold said. “I don’t understand what the problem is here. We’ve got a meter here that’s got a shut off and a lockout, okay? It goes up here to this cabin. He pays his water bill now it goes over to this place. They don’t pay their water bill. Now how we

Cadiz Business Association discusses Christmas parade

CADIZ – The Cadiz Business Association met Wednesday and covered an array of events and projects coming up. The veteran’s banners, all 40, have been sold out and are going up soon. One little twist to it though, is the township trustees must sign off on the idea of having any banner

“So, he is what he says he is,” Konkoleski told council adding that this developer feels all the big deals were gone, concerning WalMarts and Targettype stores having already been built. So what Adena is facing are “small deals,” which are dollar stores and convenience stores.

“He has identified our community and one other community nearby as having a population center that he feels he could market to some of these stores,” he said. Also, the criteria to be met, such as site size and not in a flood plain, doesn’t leave Adena with many choices, which leaves the one property that fits the mold and that is the old school building, which Konkoleski referred to and for which the village conveniently owns.

This led to a lengthy conversation where Konkoleski said there really was no plan for the building nor is it open to the public. Martello explained that the village would first negotiate a price

The old Adena school sits vacant and in need of major repair but a lifeline could be coming if a Columbus developer, who reached out to the village, follows through with his interest in the property for retail development, it was announced at Tuesday’s council meeting.

COVID spiking in state but steady in Harr. Co.

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The COVID-19 epidemic is unfortunately beginning to trend upwards not only in the state of Ohio, but other parts of the country. In Harrison County though, that trend seems to be holding steady now that the outbreak at the healthcare facility has subsided.

Harrison County saw only one new case since last week, bringing its total to 72. And other good news stated at the commissioner’s meeting Wednesday, was that two of the four current cases have fully recovered, according to Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome.

Unfortunately, two are still hospitalized and on respirators.

Rhome, in regards to the upward trend in Ohio, said 51 of Ohio’s 88 counties are currently sitting at red or high incidents of COVID cases.

“So, Harrison County is still doing pretty good, relatively speaking,” Rhome told the board. “And I say that relatively speaking, because unfortunately, the rest of Ohio is starting to trend in the wrong direction again.”

And except for that outbreak at The Meadows, Rhome said the county has basically been doing a good job of making smart decisions being careful but the public needs to continue that behavior, he said.

Rhome said high incidence ratings are calculated with a “100 per 100,000” in current cases, not accumulatively.

And the percent-positive rate for testing jumped from 2.7 to over 4.0 from just two weeks ago.

“That’s less than a two percent move but that’s about eight hundred cases a day, depending on how many tests are run that day,” Rhome explained. “Throughout the state of Ohio I think it is definitely concerning that we’re going in the wrong direction on many of these indicators.”

When asked if there was a way to know how many people in Harrison County have actually been tested, Rhome said he did not have a method of knowing that.

He said his office does not receive reports on how many negative tests have been conducted.

Rhome touched on the flu-shot clinic held last Friday where 104 people drove through to be tested, which he said was much more than they’d ever seen.

“That’s more than double what we’ve done in the past,” he said. Rhome attributed the high numbers to heightened public awareness and the importance of getting a flu shot, which he felt influenced more people into coming out this particular year. He also said it was possible to get the flu and COVID at the same time, which he said made it more important to get a flu shot this year more than others.

“Maybe a little more important this year,” he told the board. When Commissioner Don Bethel asked if there were still restrictions left to adhere to, Rhome said mass gatherings are still limited to ten or less people. He said there are still exceptions to the rule such as, wedding receptions on private property (300 limit), and a banquet hall can operate as a restaurant if they have a food service permit, as long as there is social distancing, he said.

“The current order also notes that updates to this order will be posted on the coronavirus.ohio.gov website and those updates should be considered part of the order,” Rhome said Thursday in an email.

Rhome also covered an area he has in the past in that the virus will hit people in different ways and not everyone will handle it the same. He stated one still hospitalized with COVID is “only in their sixties.”

Rhome said because of the great response to their driveby flu shot event last week, they are limited in flu shots at this time. But said they do have a “specific amount held back for that type of situation,” he said referring to people with no insurance and can’t afford to pay for a flu shot.

The United States’ fatality ratio remains below three, at 2.82 while Ohio has now fallen below three and nearly even with the country at 2.89 (New York Times).

Scio continues to capitalize on the CARES Act

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE The Village of Scio received another $28,500 from the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act) last week. The next public meeting to decide on encumbering

with the Port Authority (PA) for it to be sold to the developer. The PA would then negotiate that sell-price with the developer but Martello said they could also sell the property to a “private individual,” where they would have to take bids. But since the deal can go through the PA they won’t have to take bids on the property, he stated.

“To be clear he has not made an offer, nothing along those lines but there’s no sense in anyone putting in a lot of time and effort into this…if we have other plans for that property and we don’t want to explore this,” Konkoleski told council.

Public Utilities Supervisor Matt Litman Jr. said there is a shut off but it’s not secured, which further irritated Arnold as Mayor Joe Petro agreed that there is a shut off.

“This is what happens when you don’t follow the damn guidelines. This is exactly what happens,” Arnold shouted.

“This is creating this gray area that I say we cannot do. You know what, I can’t keep being a part of this guys…we’re going to run this town the right way, or I’m getting out of here, I don’t care what you all think. This is not the way you run a business.”

Brenda Roski reminded council that the village is still paying around $130 per month just for utilities. Also, Council Member Mark Anderson said he would like the village to have some control over what would be built there. But Martello said there’s always some control you would lose in deals like this. To prevent the property from just sitting there if the developer can’t re-sell the property, Martello said that setting a time frame within the deal would have to go through the PA. The old school needs major work, which was acknowledged

by Council Member Marla Brokaw who said she would like to explore another avenues before giving in to an outside developer. She said there was $13,000 to be used for contributing to the building, even though that would not be

enough, she stated she is against selling to a developer until other avenues are exhausted.

“Guess what, I ain’t a quitter and I will try everything I can before I say I,” she said before hesitating slightly then said, “it’s a no…” she told council and explained her reasoning with one way being grants, using the USDA as an example. She cited various organizations that use that building and basically have nowhere else to go and wished to keep that option open.

“I think it’s worth a shot…” she said again acknowledging that the building is expensive to take care of.

“But I will not feel good about myself if I didn’t say that I tried,” she told Anderson.

“And I have been working on it and a lot of people have been

working on it, and we’re talking about GoFundMes and stuff like that at least, to say that, that is ours, we did this, we made this better and you can have a return on an investment if you can make it to where people will go there.”

As Brokaw was explaining matching funds with the $13,000 and grants stating that Adena fits the criteria for an underprivileged community, Roski surprised her with the fact that Adena actually has a median income much higher than anyone thought.

“USDA just told me that our per capita home income in Adena, ready for this? Sixtyfive thousand dollars a year,” which surprised a few around the table.

A motion to table the subject till the next meeting was approved.

agreed with Council Member Matt Litman Sr. that it’s the main customer’s responsibility for getting the others to pay their bills, as it is written in the contract, according to Collins.

“These people don’t even pay effin taxes here and we’re catering to them,” Arnold said angrily. “They don’t even pay taxes in this village. They don’t mean sh_t to us.” When it was noted that everyone had originally approved the agreement Arnold said he was against the idea from the beginning.

“I did not approve it; I said I am against it,” Arnold said, and a June article in the NewsHerald proves him correct when he stated he was against the idea of others tapping off that one line.

Collins then argued that everyone approved it but did

not have problems with it until after it was signed, to which Arnold disagreed. Collins explained that the water line is and must be owned by the village because it’s the “only way it could run through the state’s easement.” He also said that the main customer, according to the contract, is responsible for the others using that line.

“So, if something’s not getting paid you can turn the water off right there,” he said referring to the main connection. Those customers must come in to the village office and request a tapin, and there should be “a meter pit at each individual tap.”

When he noted that the extra tap-ins must be approved, he and Giesey agreed that someone must have approved of those other tap-ins.

Collins said the remedy was to have those customers put in

shut-offs with a proper lock and until they do, the water should be shut off, which he said was in the contract.

“If he lets someone tap on that line and they don’t do it properly, he is in violation of that agreement,” Collins explained referring to the original customer. He said the water being shut off to all is between the main customer and the others tapping onto his line.

“Because he is the one who is obligated to service that line,” Collins told council. Litman Jr. said new meters would need to be installed, in order to be secured properly where Collins explained that’s what was in the contract “but they didn’t do it properly.” Mayor Joe Petro said he would speak with the original customer and work to resolve the problem.

members will remain in their vehicles as they drive by for viewing them.

Also, the snowmen that have been set up around the square will be changed this year. All the snowmen will be placed near a tree along the main streets of uptown. Fenstamaker said many times the snowmen are blown

over and falling into each other so they thought they would make a little change this year.

CARES Act is limited to relief efforts. Of their own accord, the council plans to purchase new street flags for Veterans Day that don the American flag and each branch of the military.

In the coming months, Scio may also gather a list of people who would like to honor their living or deceased military personnel with a picture on

similar street flags to the Veterans Day flags they will be purchasing.

The council has had issues with resident communication in the past weeks. Social media sites like Facebook have proven an unreliable medium for individual council members to answer questions from village residents. They ask that all

Dynamite proves to be a dud

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com HOPEDALE – The dynamite scare that occurred in Hopedale last Thursday night wasn’t exactly a dud but rather a prop used for training purposes. Hopedale Fire Chief Mark Marchetta said the props are used for things like filling a hole to make sure the real dynamite is a correct fit.

“It took two hours before it was discovered to be fake,” he said this week. But for a while there was high tension after pictures were sent to the Columbus Bomb Squad and they in turn ordered an evacuation of everyone within 1,000 feet of the home.

Marchetta said the drama played out on Fifth Street at the home of a recently deceased individual. He said diesel fuel will incapacitate the

explosive and after seeing the prop sticks crumble, eventually the squad called off the alarm. He said Austin Powder Company used to be in Hopedale, which is now located in St. Clairsville, which helped add to the authenticity of what they first believed to be dynamite.

What added to that was that the son of the former homeowner worked in that business and he said it made sense that dynamite would be in the home, making the situation more believable. The prop sticks were also wrapped in authentic dynamite material, wires and all.

Marchetta said from time to time there are incidents where people will find something like this and he encourages the public to please call the authorities when in doubt.

Fake dynamite, which was discovered to be props for training purposes was found in a Hopedale home last Thursday evening.

But for a few hours the bomb squad from Columbus had local authorities evacuated for 1,000 feet.

Warrants, meth and murder cover court proceedings

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Among the full court schedule Tuesday, ten defendants failed to make their court appearances; approximately 12 methamphetamine cases were heard and two murder defendants with one actually appearing before a judge.

In the case of Samuel Farnsworth of Cadiz, accused of murder in the death of Sherry Shrieve back in early March, Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese stated that his bill of particulars (BOP) was also due to be turned over on Tuesday where his attorney, Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola could now review that evidence, and no public hearing took place.

But for Larry Smith of Hopewell, accused of murdering Lori Storie, also back in March, he did appear via teleconference with his attorney Benjamin Whitacre where things got a bit contentious. Bruzzese, explaining back in September at Farnsworth’s last hearing regarding a BOP that his office was dealing with multiple murder cases with varying jurisdictions and agencies, as well as numerous drug cases, that it would take time but they are working on getting the defense its information.

Tuesday, Bruzzese told the court during Smith’s hearing that they have complied with everything “almost,” but provided everything that was on a “very exhaustive list” requested by Smith’s attorney. He said there was additional information just received that day and would turn that over to the

defense as well. But Whitacre told the court he had not received any of the additional 39 items that he apparently asked for, and nothing since Smith’s last court appearance back in August.

“I know that even though it is not our job to investigate a case for the defendant and at the defendant’s request, that’s not what we do.

They’re welcome to hire a private investigator…” Bruzzese told the court adding that they have done their best in getting information to Whitacre and his client. When Judge T. Shawn Hervey asked him if he was turning over evidence as he receives it, Bruzzese stated that he has but repeated that they are dealing with multiple agencies and counties, as well as the COVID epidemic where not everyone has been working regular office hours, which has made it a little more difficult in obtaining information.

When Hervey asked Whitacre about setting a deadline for discovery evidence, he appeared frustrated as he recited the case from its inception to now where he is still waiting on 39 items of discovery stretching to the month of October.

“So, it’s very frustrating for me representing the defendant, it’s very frustrating for my client… ”Whitacre explained and as he continued talking another call was coming through the LifeSize communication system, which interrupted the flow. Hervey then repeated what he felt Whitacre was asking for, which was a request to the court for an order to comply the state to respond with the remainder of evidence in 30 days, which Whitacre acknowledged was

AME Church members provide cheer to the sick and shut in CADIZ – With the COVID19 epidemic prying on nerves think how bad it is for someone actually afflicted with the virus, not knowing if or when it will clear up and release them to the public. That’s bad enough for the people afflicted with the virus but others have been down with other sicknesses as well.

Members of the St. James AME Church in Cadiz got together Saturday and responded by riding their vehicles past many of the individuals who have been shut inside for other reasons, just to give them a boost in morale.

Norma Cook, the daughter of a AME member, Johan Holmes, approached Viva Jackson and Gwen Hardwick about the idea.

She needed her spirits lifted from the COVID blanket that’s been smothering the world for many months now and thought an old fashioned drive-by would do the trick.

“It was decided that the members of St. James A.M.E. Church and their Pastor Craig Smith would try to lift the spirits of their sick and shut-ins by doing a drive by to let them know that they were loved and missed,” Jackson said.

AME Church members showed their love to: Charlotte Jones, Ruth Dept, Frd Cowans Sr., Marjorie Johnson, Donna Brooks, Mike Banks, Sharee Capers and Johan Holmes were all involved.

A big thanks went out to Cadiz police officer Jason Simmerman for providing the escort at last Saturday’s drive-by.

Accused of murder, Larry Smith, appeared Tuesday via videoconference at the Harrison County Court of Common Pleas. A discrepancy over discovery items arose between Smith’s attorney, Benjamin Whitacre and Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese. Judge T. Shawn Hervey granted the state an additional 30 days to meet the request.

true.

Bruzzese then unloaded some frustration of his own by telling the court that it’s “pretty disingenuous for the defense to assert somehow we’re prejudice in their case by not doing an investigation for them.” He continued by explaining that some of the evidence being requested, such as a 911 call is public information and could easily have been obtained by the defense on their own.

“Now I, in this case as I do in every case, I’m trying my best to cooperate,” Bruzzese said. “We’re trying to give him the information that he has requested in this list, but police reports are public record, he can get those.”

“I’m doing his work for him and that’s fine,” Bruzzese continued as he became more agitated, “cause my goal is to move the case along and let’s either get it resolved or let’s try it. But to say things like, you know, we’re delaying or we’re prejudice in them and things that are lost, is just not accurate.”

Bruzzese added that much on Whitacre’s list is not the prosecution’s duty but he is still attempting to do that for him and “move the case along.” He also stated for the record that he is not withholding any evidence or refusing to disclose anything.

Hervey felt that 30 days was a reasonable time limit for the state to comply. Both Farnsworth and Smith are being held on a bond of $2 million.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Thomas Helter and Diane Arnold.

Jim was a lifelong area resident and a 1964 graduate of Lakeland High School. A heavy equipment operator for Gundy Construction for 27 years, then for Stanley Miller for 15 years until his retirement in 2008, he was a 50 year member of Ohio Operating Engineers Local #18, District #6.

Phyllis Irene (Thompson) Wiley Phyllis Irene (Thompson) Wiley was received into Heaven by her loving Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, Oct. 9. She was born in Jewett, Ohio, on June 27, 1934, to her parents James and Twyla (McAfee) Thompson, who preceded her in death.

She married William D. Wiley on Aug. 25, 1956, after she graduated from The Ohio State University with a Home Economics degree. Phyllis made her decision to follow Jesus at a revival when she was in high school, and in 1964, "Aunt Phyllis" and "Uncle Bill" (affectionately called by camp friends) started a small Christian farm camp called Marmon Valley Farm in Zanesfield, and in 1972 began Faith Ranch Camp near Jewett. They both enjoyed teaching young people new things, and many young people learned how to cook and bake with Phyllis. In fact, she was still sharing her cooking skills (pie crust and homemade soups) with her caregivers this past year.

Phyllis enjoyed traveling to camp conferences with the American Camping Association and Christian Camping & Conference Association. Her son Winston would drive her to many festivals

where she enjoyed making rag rugs to sell and in recent years still enjoyed a favorite pastime of cutting jeans for rag rugs. Even though she owned over 300 cookbooks, she always was anxious to try new recipes and exchange them with family and friends.

If you saw Phyllis in public, she was probably wearing a HAT! Phyllis was well known for her large collection of beautiful hats, and she enjoyed sharing them for ladies' retreats and special events.

Phyllis' husband Bill preceded her in death in 2015. She is survived by three children: Winston Wiley of Jewett, Jane (Steve) Olsen and Matthew (Kathy) Wiley, both of Zanesfield; seven grandchildren (six married) and six great-grandchildren; two brothers, McKinney (Barbara) Thompson, and Terry (Carol) Thompson; and many family members residing in Jewett.

The family wishes to thank the many caregivers who loved Phyllis and cared for her these past several years. And on Friday when Phyllis transitioned into Heaven, there were several wonderful friends and caregivers by her side. The legacy of people coming to know and experience Jesus through farm life, horseback riding, and enjoying flipping flapjacks in Aunt Phyllis' dining hall will continue.

Memorial services will be held at the family's convenience and announced when the schedule is determined.

The family is asking that any memorial gifts be made to the Marmon Valley Ministries camper scholarship fund, to help young people attend the camp Phyllis loved and worked so hard to develop. Memorial contributions can be mailed to Marmon Valley Ministries, 7754 State Route 292 South, Zanesfield, OH 43360.

A look back at the Nelms Mine disaster Pt. 2

From Harrison News Herald 12-01-1977: Never before or since has Harrison County faced a tragedy more grim that the Nelms Mine disaster on Friday, Nov. 29, 1940. On that date, 460 feet below the Green Township surface, 31 men lost their lives in a horrible mine explosion. In this photo, the first recovered body, Pete Speicher, is brought to the surface. The two men in the foreground carrying the stretcher are John Beckley on the left and L.L. Pool. The Harrison County Historical Society in cooperation with the Puskarich Public Library will be holding a program Friday, Nov. 6, 2020 at 7 p.m. at the Barr Gymnasium in Scio to commemorate this event.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR RESiDENT QUESTiONS NEED FOR SiLVER SPADE AMBULANCE Letter to the Editor: I am writing this letter to the editor in the hopes that the residents of Harrison County can become aware of the wonderful service the Harrison Community Hospital offers regarding ambulance service.

If you need an ambulance, the hospital offers 24/7, 911 response and 24 Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance emergency response in Harrison County.

Paramedics back-up to volunteer ambulance services.

Advanced and basic life support for emergent and nonemergent transports. They also offer sporting and special event ambulance coverage. Call: 740-942-6333.

Prior to my dear husband's death, we availed ourselves of this wonderful service three times.The paramedics and EMTs were wonderful. They arrived promptly and knew exactly what to do and were able to literally save his life at these times.

The excellent part about this service is they did not request a new property tax for the residents of Harrison County in order to have this service.

The number to call for this service is 740-942-6333. It is my belief that they always have a paramedic and EMT to respond to your call.

I know there is a levy on the ballot for Cadiz, Hopedale, Cadiz Township and Green Township for the Silver Spade Ambulance Service. This organization has stated that since the school has removed their levy from your property taxes you will not really notice your property taxes going

up. That is true. However, if you, as I, was counting on having that entire extra amount removed from my property tax. Why vote to have anything taken out if you don't have to in order to get ambulance service?

As I understand this new tax will generate approximately $850,000 per year for five years. I certainly am all for giving individuals jobs and more training. I certainly would hope that if you, in these townships and villages, decide to pass this levy, that a paramedic will always be on these calls to be sure lives are saved. But again why pay for this with an increase in your property taxes when you do not have to when the local hospital offers all of the services as stated above.

I would encourage all property owners to ask the Silver Spade Joint Ambulance District for a copy of their Joint

Resolution for the Creation and Operation of the Silver Spade Joint Ambulance District before you vote for an additional property tax.

As President of the Chamber of Commerce for Harrison County, I was very pleased when the school removed the levy on property taxes for the whole county. I see one of our jobs in the Chamber as working with others in the County to get new businesses and property owners to come to Harrison County. In my opinion, if property taxes go down the area becomes more attractive.

I guess basically what I am saying is, in my opinion, we should encourage the commissioners to work with the hospital to move them to a more prominent place in responding to calls in the area.

Sincerely yours, Karen Sticht Property owner in Green Township

Good News

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

Joy Through the Little Things Calamity and heartbreak are something we pray never comes into our life. Thankfully, for most of us, it never or rarely comes. But a more common visitor for every one of us are those little things that daily press our buttons, that get under our skin, or as the old TV commercial said, really chaps our hide. James the apostle told us to consider it all joy when various trials come into our life.

Why? Because the testing of our faith produces endurance, and when our endurance grows up, we grow up. For most of us, what usually happens more often; our car explodes in Hollywood movie style or the battery dies and leaves us inconvenienced for a couple of hours?

Solomon in Song of Songs put

it this way, “It’s the little foxes that spoil the vine.” If you want a good crop of grapes you need healthy vines. It wasn’t drought or flooding that was usually the cause for a bad crop it was little foxes who would sneak in overnight and nibble away at the low hanging vines and take away vitality to what was growing up top. Isn’t that a picture of most of our lives?

It’s not tsunamis, earthquakes or being robbed at gunpoint, it’s just the annoying daily occurrences that rob our joy.

This is why the apostle Paul instructed us in his letter to the Galatians to have the fruit of the Spirit at work in our life.

Jesus said in the parable of the sower, “There is one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth

choke the word, and it yields nothing.” Little things have been known to break up marriages, friendships, and split churches in two.

The Lord warned us about this in Acts chapter 6, “As the disciples were increasing in number, there arose a complaint by the Hellenistic Jews against the Hebraic Jews that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.” All you need to do is read the first part of the sentence and you get the picture “as the church was growing, there arose a complaint”. He warns us again in Philippians chapter 4 where Paul said, “I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord…help these women, for they have struggled beside me in the work of the gospel.”

Whenever the work of the

gospel is in play you can just bank on it that “little things” will be at work trying to destroy trust and unity.

In that rich 15th chapter of John’s gospel Jesus tells us that He is the vine and we are the branches and that He told us this so that our joy would be full. This chapter specifically tells us that God’s will is that we not be miserable, but have joy.

So, it’s our job to be the guardians of our own joy. No one else can do it for us. When King David’s men were ready to stone him, scripture says, “He encouraged himself in the Lord his God”.

If David, Paul and other Bible heroes can keep their joy in the midst of their life and death situations, certainly we can keep ours through all the little things. pastorkenstaley@gmail.com

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy There are new parties coming up each year for the path to matrimony and we were invited to Delaware, Ohio, for the secret proposal of our granddaughter, Amber,

by Phil Ferguson. As Amber doesn't work far from her apartment, they decided, she could save money by riding to work in the still golden weather on a bike. Phil bought her one and they rode to a state park at Delaware and he suggested they stop at a nice little waterfall. He propped up his bike and got down on one knee in front of her. She gave a nervous laugh and said, “What is this, a joke?" When she saw that it wasn't, she said yes immediately. The family could not see if there were tears in her eyes or not because they were hidden far back. And seeing the serious look on Phil's faced suggested it was for real. Little did Amber know that there were hers and Phil's relatives hidden in the background.

Everyone came back to Amber's folks home for a big relative party. Again, she came in the door looking like she was floating on air. Phil had given her a rose-gold solitaire and she was so proud to show it. After a beautiful luncheon, I started to watch the Steelers play and was starting to get very cold and shaky. After the Chief ’s loss I was feeling even worse but was told it was because they lost. At half time of the Browns game, I knew I had to find some place to lay down.

Homes in that town are built straight up not rambling like many in our area. I was put in Jay’s office on the fifth floor and every hour or so my nastiness worsened. The party was on the second floor so I wasn't ruining anything for them.

We stayed overnight and I crawled out of a the lower part of a trundle bed to hit the bathroom and awaken everyone with my upchucking many times. This is Thursday and I feel weak as a newborn baby. But no more sickness. I don't have Coronavirus and I am so happy for Amber and Phil.

Have a nice week everybody and wear you masks.

The Deersville General Store has teamed up with Bosler's honey and made a new ice cream flavor, Honey Nut. I'm hearing good reviews. While out and about looking at the fall colors, stop and try it and all the other flavors! I was at the store on Sunday afternoon and had the "limited time" pumpkin cheesecake ice cream. All I can say is I am sorry it is for a limited time. It was so good.

My niece and nephew came Sunday and we took a ride to Freeport and then over to Deersville. Their little four year old son Carper Vanryswyk was so excited about seeing all the cows, sheep, donkeys, deer and the lakes with the fishermen (he wanted to fish).

But something he kept saying over and over again about the changing leaves was "it's beautiful". Through the eyes of babes. Please, if you get a chance, take some little trips throughout Harrison County and enjoy the fall foliage and all the beauty that our county holds. Stop along the way and support some of the local businesses.

Please check out the "Star Spotlight" on the Deersville Community Theatre Facebook page. They have been spotlighting some of the performers who have graced the stage to make the productions such a success. It is fun the read "the rest of the story" about these talented folks.

Deersville UM Church is holding regular services on Sunday at 11AM. Social distancing is being recognized and masks and hand sanitizer are available.

One can also watch the service on Facebook.

Please support all the local businesses. They are the people who support our children and civic groups.

Now is a good time to take rides out the Deersville Ridge to see the fall foliage. Stop at the Deersville General Store and get something to eat and some ice cream, stop at Bosler's and take a jar of honey home for later and stop to pick out some treasurers at the Hayseeds Homesteader Trading Post.

Please remember those on the sick and recovery list.

Remember the caregivers too.

Do some phone calls or drop a short note.

Your

thoughtfulness will be greatly appreciated. It will be a blessing to them and also to you.

Harrison Central boys soccer HC Jr. High Huskies score back-to-back victories take down Jets

By JULIE MARSHALL The Harrison Central boys’ soccer team traveled to New Martinsville, W.Va., on Thursday, Oct. 8 to play the Blue Eagles of Magnolia High School.

Playing on a short, grassy field was challenging for the Huskies who are used to playing on turf, but they soon adjusted and got to work.

The Huskies’ first goal was a header by junior co-captain Ben Puskarich off a corner kick by senior co-captain Jack Novotny to put the Huskies on the scoreboard 1-0. With 14 minutes left to play in the game, Novotny lined up another corner kick that junior Jacob Mattern headed into the goal to raise the score 2-0. Then about 5 minutes later with an assist by sophomore Jace Madzai, Puskarich kicked in the Huskies’ third goal to seal the game with a win 3-0.

Goalkeeper Mack Marshall had two saves during the game.

Head Coach Derek Gramling commented, “We got a shut-out, had a good defensive performance and kept Magnolia from scoring.”

He continued, “Three goals, a clean sheet, and no injuries: it was a good night.”

On Tuesday, Oct. 13, Harrison Central hosted the Sandy Valley Cardinals for the Huskies last home game of the season.

It was the Cardinals that scored first with 22 minutes

left in the first half. The Huskies answered back 5 minutes later when a tripping penalty inside the box resulted in a goal by Puskarich to tie the score 1-1.

Then with 12:55 on the clock, senior co-captain Brady Positano passed the ball to Novotny who kicked it in to take the lead 2-1. Just 4 minutes later another Cardinal tripping penalty inside the box led to an additional goal by Puskarich to make the score 3-1.

Three minutes into the second half Sandy Valley took a shot that put them back in the game with a score of 3-2.

With about thirty minutes left to play Novotny’s cross was trapped and kicked into the goal by senior Dylan Waggoner to make it 4-2.

With just under 16 minutes left, Novotny’s cross was received by Positano for a Huskies goal and a 5-2 tally.

Positano’s second goal with 12:54 left to play made the score 6-2. With only 52 seconds on the clock, desperate to get back in the game, the Cardinals knocked in a goal to make the score 63. However, the Huskies put an end to any hopes of a comeback when Mattern scored with 17 seconds left to

seal the deal at 7-3.

Goalkeeper Mack Marshall saved seven shots on goal during the game. It was a rough game riddled with penalties and yellow cards throughout.

“We played a good passing game like I knew we could,” commented Derek Gramling, Huskies Head Coach.

Additionally, Gramling said, “We got a win for the seniors’ last home game.” Harrison Central will play at Indian Creek for their sectional playoff game on Thursday, Oct. 22 at 6:30 p.m.

CADIZ - The Harrison Central Jr. High Huskies played at Wagner Field last Wednesday against the Union Local Jets.

The Huskies drew first blood with an 18-yard touchdown by Mykel Quito. Quito tacked on an extra two-point conversion to take the lead at 8-0.

Not to be outdone, Union Local came back and scored a touchdown and passed for two to tie the score 8-8.

The Huskies regained the lead on a 13-yard Quito run; however, they failed at making the extra point, and left the score 14-8 at the half in favor of the Huskies.

After the break, the Huskies came out and put on a scoring clinic with a 20-yard run from Cameron McAfee for a touchdown, and a 60-yard interception returned for a touchdown by Mykel Quito.

McAfee added the two extra on a pass from Brady Hyre.

McAfee finished the third quarter scoring with a 30yard reception from Hyre.

two-point conversion, giving the Huskies a 36-8 lead. Niko Wurschum scored the final Harrison Central touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 28yard gallop.

Elliott is a True All-Star

STEUBENVILLE- When it comes to being a breast cancer survivor, Charlotte Elliott is a true all-star.

Elliott, a Steubenville resident and employee at the Jefferson County Board of Developmental Disabilities, recalled that moment in 2016 which changed her life.

"I had a lump under my arm," she said. "I found it when I was taking a shower one night."

She hesitated to visit her doctor but followed through a week later, and it proved to be a life-saving decision when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

"They caught it in time," Elliott recalled. "They said if I let it go too long, they probably couldn't do anything about it."

She underwent surgery to remove the tumor and lymph nodes followed by a course of chemotherapy and radiation treatments over a 16-week period at the Tony Teramana Cancer Center. During that time, she also lost her hair and watched her weight drop to 90 pounds. Elliott said the love and support of family, which includes her two children, and

friends helped her through the tough times and she also credited her then-Support Service Administrator Michael Gromczewski for transporting her for treatment. She noted that others at JCBDD even took time to call and check on her.

Elliott was given a 50-percent chance of survival, but nearly five years later she is in remission and is grateful to her doctor and the Teramana Cancer Center for giving her a new lease on life.

She still visits her doctor every six months and works at the School of Bright Promise, where she has served as a cook and currently performs custodial duties throughout the week.

"I like working here. The people are so nice," she added, saying in her spare time she enjoys being home with her dog and two cats.

She dons a pink jacket and matching face mask emblazoned with small pink ribbons and such words as support, fight, believe and hope in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Elliott does speak to others about health and stresses the importance of a mammogram and self-

Charlotte Elliott is a real allstar after surviving breast cancer. She was diagnosed in 2016 and underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment, and now she is enjoying life and sharing a message of strength and hope with others during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Elliott presently works through the Jefferson County Board of Developmental Disabilities as a custodian at the School of Bright Promise.

Students in Electrical Trades ALLIANCE Program BLOOMINGDALE-Students at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School have another way to gain experience for the workforce by taking part in the Electrical Trades ALLIANCE through the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

JVS electrical trades instructor Buddy Davis said it was the first year both juniors and seniors have participated in the ALLIANCE program, which gives his electrical trades students a real advantage to get ahead in the field. About 16 seniors and 14 juniors are currently taking part and complete online work to build their skillset. According to the IBEW website, the Electrical

Training ALLIANCE was formed with National Electrical Contractors Association and the goal is to provide the electrical construction industry with the most highly training and skilled workforce possible.

“This gives students the ability by taking the course that if they do apply to a union and get accepted, they can actually test out of the first year of apprenticeship while still in high school and start their second year in schooling as an apprentice,” Davis said.

He was inspired to collaborate

by IBEW representatives and local contractors who serve on his advisory board.

“It gives kids an online availability and opportunity to

work at their own pace,” he added. “After graduation, they can apply to take a test for the IBEW and do an interview to be accepted. They can go to any IBEW, not just locally. It’s a fast track to the electrical trades.”

A few of his seniors plan to be future tradesman and said they like the program.

“I really like it. It’s easy to get into and is more direct and forward [with assignments],” said Dylan Waggoner, a senior from Scio who is based at Harrison Central High School.

“I like it,” added Tyler Baker, a senior from Wintersville and student at Indian Creek High School. “I can do it at my own pace.”

examination.

"I want to tell people to try not to worry," she concluded. "If you see a lump, go to the doctor."

Electrical trades students Dylan Waggoner, pictured at left, and Trevor Thompson learn about wiring a transformer from instructor Buddy Davis at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School.

The students are currently working with the Electrical Training ALLIANCE through the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) to prepare for the workforce.

Wintersville students learn about safety

Students at Wintersville Elementary had a chance to learn about safety from the Wintersville Fire Department as part of Fire Prevention Week on Wednesday. They heard a presentation from firefighter Kurt Bolock and viewed a fire truck and ambulance as well as safety equipment.

Pictured are preschoolers with Bolock, at left, and firefighter Jeff Matthew, who is outfitted in turnout gear.

Lakeland Academy tops highest attendance, receives donations

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

FREEPORT – The Lakeland Academy School released some numbers at Wednesday evening’s regular board meeting and it was announced that they have reached the highest enrollment they’ve ever had with 77 (76.1 plus one additional student) now in school.

“I don’t think we’ve ever been close to that in the past,” Superintendent Scott Bardall said. Assistant Treasurer Ethan Tice who was filling in, and will be taking over for the outgoing Treasurer Don Donahue stated that this means extra funding for the school with those numbers. He also stated that the Academy is 105 days out, which means they could operate for that amount of days without any cash flow coming in.

He said the September receipts total $40,505.14 with expenditures topping just over $58,700. Their current fund end balance for the month of

September came to $160,955.61.

Lakeland PTO (ParentTeacher Organization) also received a generous donation of $2,500 from a donor they requested to remain anonymous. He said two of their students are a part of the family that donated and two more that are coming.

“But they love our school and love being part of the program in the family…” Bardall told the board.

Bardall said they also received a donation of $500 from the Helen Brownlee Trust as well.

He gave a little background on the Trust stating a Helen Morris, who was a graduate of Freeport High School back in the 1930s, received a scholarship to Ohio University where she met her husband. They raised a family and eventually moved to Florida where they have five children “scattered from Florida to Texas.”

“So, for some reason somehow, she still felt somewhat of a

connection toward back home,” Bardall said.

Also, their Lake Erie West representative sponsor Kristi Hayward (filling in for Dr. Diane Longstreth) spoke briefly via teleconference about an upcoming in-person meeting with Bardall who said it was the first meeting with their new sponsor. She said they will be traveling down to the school to see how everything is going.

“So, once we get the green light in between everybody and everyone is comfortable she (Longstreth) will start visiting the school on a monthly basis, but so far it has been virtual…”

Hayward explained.

Bardall went over recommendations, which included accepting the resignation of Shelly Patterson, the hiring of Christiana DiLoreto as custodian; the hiring of Morgan Garrett as a paraprofessional on an “as needed basis” and also, the hiring of substitute teacher, Teri Alexander.

Also, a review of the Special Education Model Policies and Procedures, which include how they handle discipline regarding students with special needs and delivery of services as some of the items covered. The board approved the recommendations.

Bardall said their average attendance for their after school program was about 15 with a high of 17 at one time. He also said they were in the beginning stages of being involved in the Handle With Care Program after being approached weeks ago. The program comes out of Belmont County but also includes Monroe and Harrison Counties.

“But the idea is that if anything involving the social services comes to the attention of either law enforcement or again social services, they’re going to try and have direct connections to the school,” Bardall explained.

The next scheduled meeting is set for Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 6:30 p.m.

Nolan named Principal of the Year BRILLIANT-Buckeye North Elementary Principal Susan Nolan has been recognized for her endless contributions to her school and community after being named the Jefferson County Educational Service Center’s 2020 Principal of the Year.

Nolan was surprised during a special assembly of staff, teachers and Buckeye Local School District officials in the auditorium of the school on Wednesday, which was decorated with signs from staff and students, and received the honor from JCESC Director of Curriculum and Professional Development Ron Sismondo.

Buckeye Local Superintendent Kim Leonard welcomed Nolan to the stage and said Nolan was greatly admired for her many contributions.

“This is a very special day here at North Elementary for a very special lady. You get the opportunity to work with her every single day and she gives it her all. She gives 150 percent seven days a week,” Leonard said. “We all truly appreciate her.”

Sismondo listed the criteria for the honor and said Nolan, who has been an educator for 42 years and spent the past 13 as principal, has been actively involved in professional organizations, personally involved in the community and ensures a positive school climate. In addition, she has shown leadership in her building, district, community and state.

Her many achievements include implementing the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program to give fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles and brothers a chance to volunteer and be positive role models in the building; obtaining a $54,000 grant from the Charles M. and Thelma M. Charitable Foundation to acquire nearly 300 seats from the former Follansbee Middle School and update the school auditorium; purchasing chromebooks and new playground equipment with proceeds from grants and fundraising efforts; conducting myriad fundraisers for community causes such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Hounds’ Haven; ensuring students and families in need receive Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets and

Find a new way to experience fall in Ohio during wild turkey hunting season

Buckeye North Elementary Principal Susan Nolan was recognized as the 2020 Principal of the Year by the Jefferson County Educational Service Center on Wednesday. She was surprised during an assembly of teachers and staff and received an award and $700 to benefit her school from JCESC, as well as flowers and balloons from Buckeye Local School District officials.

toys; chairing the district’s annual spelling bee; organizing the Back to School Bash; and taking a lead role in Team B.L.U.E. (Buckeye Local Unites Everyone) to enhance Panther Pride across the district. She also takes active roles in building and district leadership teams, provides scholarships for two Buckeye Local High School graduates and has supported the school and community through her involvement in the Brilliant Lions Club and Alpha Delta Kappa Sorority International, holding offices at the chapter and state levels for the latter and currently serving as ADK President for the State of Ohio.

Her accolades continue with recognition from the Mingo Knights of Columbus to the Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators.

In her nomination letter from school secretary Jelene Creamer and North staff, Nolan was revered for inspiring and providing students and staff with many opportunities to be creative and successful.

“She goes above and beyond for her North Family,” it states, in part. “On a daily basis, she

sees, hears, listens and helps the students through school, personal and private issues. She is truly available to them and her staff too.”

Nolan received an award and a $700 check from the JCESC to benefit the school plus flowers and balloons from district officials, and she tearfully thanked everyone for their support.

“It’s overwhelming,” she later said. “I just feel like I wouldn’t be where I am without the staff and students. They make my life so tremendous and I love what I do.”

Buckeye Local Board of Education Board President Clint Powell was also on hand and praised Nolan for her achievement.

“She’s well-deserving of the award,” he said. “This is one of the things that’s a reflection of her leadership. She has community support and the staff and students love her. She has done tremendous things for the district and we’re lucky to have her.”

JCESC Superintendent Dr. Chuck Kokiko said the award is a way to distinguish those who

give so much to the school system.

“Building administrators are often lost in the day-to-day operations of a school. In reality, they are the key to successful implementation of district programs,” he said. “For many years, the JCESC staff has been recognizing innovative teachers through the awarding of Best Practices Grants. The Principal of the Year award allows for the hard work and dedication of building principals to be noted as well. I would like to commend all of our principals for the work they do each and every day as well as extend a special congratulations to Mrs. Nolan on this accomplishment.”

This is the third year for the Principal of the Year Award and the second such honor for Buckeye Local Schools. The award is generally given during JCESC’s annual Administrator’s Breakfast meeting prior to the start of school for districts within its consortium, but the COVID-19 outbreak led this year’s event to be canceled.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The arrival of cooler weather and changing tree leaves means Ohio’s fall wild turkey hunting season is underway, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The fall wild turkey hunting season is open until Sunday, Nov. 29.

Both gobblers and hens are legal game during the fall hunting season.

“Wild turkey hunting is a favorite pursuit for many Ohioans, and the fall season provides new and exciting challenges,” said Division of Wildlife game bird biologist Mark Wiley. “Remember that hunting wild turkeys requires patience and practice. We hope you enjoy your hunting season this fall.”

Fall wild turkey hunting is open in 70 Ohio counties. A full list of open counties and details regarding fall turkey hunting can be found in the 2020-2021 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulation guidebook.

One turkey of either sex may be harvested during the fall season, and a valid hunting license and fall turkey permit are required. Hunting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset.

Shotguns using shot, as well as crossbows and longbows, and permitted. Hunting turkeys over bait is prohibited, and turkeys are required to be checked by 11:30 p.m. on the day the bird is harvested. Hunters are advised to wear hunter orange clothing when entering, leaving, or moving through hunting areas to remain visible to others.

Hunters are required to fill in their wild turkey permit upon harvest with the date, time, and county of kill. Submitting the harvest information through the Division of Wildlife’s mobile

app fulfills this requirement. Go to the Hunting Resources by Species page at wildohio.gov for more information.

All hunters are required to report their turkey harvest using the automated game-check system. Hunters with a turkey permit have four options to complete their game check: Online at ohiogamecheck.com; - Through the HuntFish OH mobile app; - Call 877-TAG-ITOH (877824-4864); or - Visit a license agent. A list of agents can be found at wildohio.gov or by calling 800WILDLIFE (945-3543).

Landowners and others exempt from purchasing a turkey permit cannot use the 877-TAG-ITOH option.

Instead, those hunters can call 866-703-1928 for operatorassisted landowner game check (a convenience fee applies), use the HuntFish OH mobile app, or visit a license agent.
