Harrison County voting breaks records

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HARRISON COUNTY – The Harrison County Board of Elections (BOE) Director Ruby Foutz said they’ve never seen the amount of early voting like this. As of Wednesday afternoon, 610 cast their votes at the government site and a little more than 1,950 have voted when throwing in absentee ballots.

The BOE said they are up to 30 percent of eligible voters responding with still two weeks left before Election Day, which they said is far more than they’ve seen in the past.

And the boost is not only coming from the county but the state of Ohio as well. A statement on the website of

“

NEARLY TRiPLE THE NUMBER OF OHiOANS ARE VOTiNG EARLY iN-PERSON COMPARED TO THE SAME TiME iN 2016.

SECRETARY OF STATE, FRANK ROSE

Secretary of State Frank LaRose (www.ohiosos.gov) said that 1.1 million have now cast votes in Ohio as of Tuesday, Oct. 20. This is a 119 percent jump from the election year of 2016, “Nearly triple the number of Ohioans are voting early in-person compared to the same time in 2016,” the statement reads.

Foutz said they didn’t know if the high turnouts are because of COVID-19 but

it is in fact happening.

Now for the races: there are some good ones that many have been looking forward to beginning with the prosecutor’s office. Lauren Knight-R is up against Steven Stickles-I where he is touting his vast experience versus Knight’s claims of seeing what could be done better after serving under the outgoing prosecutor Owen Beethem.

Another race is for county recorder as

Sheena L. Lewton-I is attempting to unseat the incumbent Joshua M. Willis-R. Other races with interests to the area are the State Senate, District 30 position where the incumbent, Frank Hoagland-R is attempting to hold off his challenger Michael Fletcher-D. Also on the ballot are a few hot issues including a Cadiz income tax (Issue 16) increase of 1 percent where if passed, Cadiz village residents would be paying 2 percent total. Steubenville, Toronto and Newcomerstown are three local towns that currently have a 2 percent income tax.

Toronto and Newcomerstown are comparable in population to Cadiz. Many of the other surrounding communities, though, have a 1.5 percent tax down to 0.75 percent, though, many are at 1 percent

as of now.

Another hotly contested issue but has seen the ballot box in the past, is the Silver Spade Ambulance District (SSAD) proposal (Issue 13). A property tax of an additional 2.25 mills is being asked for but failed to pass last March by 140 votes (649-509) Hopedale Fire Chief Mark Marchetta has been campaigning tirelessly for two years to see this through and current funding runs out next July. He stated he and his people have been knocking on doors and claimed that the feedback has been 95 percent positive.

“I think people are realizing how important this is,” he said. And even though the SSAD would be on the

HARRISON COUNTY – The body of a white female who was spotted just after 7:30 a.m.

Wednesday has now been identified as 32 year-old Erica L. McClain. She was found lying face down against the guardrail between that and the road, along U.S. 250 just across from Lower Clear Fork Road.

At first authorities found no identification on her person but sometime before noon a purse was found some distance from the body, which led to her identification.

According to a spokesperson for the Ohio Highway State Patrol (OHSP) no location has been connected to her as they are not

CADIZ – Seven new COVID cases have been confirmed since last week’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting. But sadly, a fourth death has been recorded as well. Health Administrator Garen Rhome said that a 65 year-old male who had been one of two hospitalized for quite some time succumbed to the virus.

“We send our deepest condolences to the friends and family of this individual.

To respect privacy, no other identifiable information will be released. Be kind to one another during this time,” Rhome said in a statement this week.

The figures for Harrison County now stand at 79 total cases where 68 individuals have recovered leaving seven active cases. Statistics concerning the state of Ohio as of Tuesday stand at, 2,015 new positive cases of COVID-19.

“Five of the past seven days have seen new cases above 2,000,” Rhome said.

Until last Wednesday there had “never been more than 2,000 cases in a single day in Ohio.” He also said the state has seen 216 new hospitalizations in the past 24 hours. “This is the most ever recorded in Ohio in a 24-hour period and 50 more hospitalizations than the previous record.”

Rhome said that Ohio’s current COVID hospitalizations have beyond doubled in the last month to today's record of 1,221

patients. He said the amount of patients stood at 586 on Sept. 19. He continued to encourage people to buckle down and be protective of themselves as well as others. Rhome said the public needs to either continue following the guidelines for slowing the COVID spread, resume doing so or start now if you haven’t yet.

“Wear a mask or facial covering over your nose, mouth and chin when in indoor, public spaces and anytime in outdoor, public spaces when a distance of 6 feet or more cannot be maintained from people outside of your family/home unit,” Rhome explained. He added that social distancing of six feet or more is still the

OHSP Sgt. Robert Bodo stated Wednesday just after the crime unit had completed their work that the call from a passing motorist came in at 7:30 a.m., which made for a tight window.

Bodo said troopers had just been by that part of the road at 7:15 a.m., which left only 24 minutes to place her body there, if that is what happened.

Authorities have not released a cause of death and Bodo would not say whether there were any stab or gunshot wounds, or even if it were a hit and run.

Bodo did rule out suicide but nothing else could be ruled out at this time, including hit and run,

Cadiz authorities urge voters for tax increase CADIZ - A 1 percent income tax increase is coming for Cadiz voters on the November ballot.

This increase, if accepted, would boost the income tax for anyone working in Cadiz to 2 percent.

This affects wages earned in Cadiz and is not a tax on social security.

“Seniors don't need to worry,” noted Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski, “this is only for earned wages in the village.”

Andrezjewski went on to explain, “We [the Village of Cadiz] need this money for operation. Many are paying significantly less income tax because of the pandemic and downturn in the economy. Our city relies on wage tax to pay staff, pave roads and keep things running. The village relies on income tax for revenue and now people aren't working.”

When asked how the money

would be allocated, Anderejweski noted it would go into the Village’s general fund. Costs like paying village employees, paving roads next year, replacing mileage-ridden police cars and updating 15 year old service trucks are among the ticket items that are pressing. “We haven't had an increase like this for well over 30 years,” noted Anderzjewski.

While Cadiz is receiving other types of tax dollars, that money is stringently allocated to other funds. Real estate taxes are put towards schools and paid mainly to the county, meaning the village only sees around 10 percent of that tax. Cadiz gets zero dollars from sales tax as those funds go to the State of Ohio and to Harrison

Sheriff Myers warns residents of holiday scams With the holiday season just around the corner, it is the time of year when scammers start receiving out to steal from unsuspecting folks.

Harrison County Sheriff Joe Myers is warning residents throughout the area to be aware that such activity is beginning.

“Criminals will try anything,” Myers said early this week.

“Thieves will make unsolicited phone calls to the intended victims making fraudulent claims saying they are a relative who needs money because they are in some type of situation.”

According to Sheriff Myers the calls take the recipient by surprise and the caller uses information that is pertinent to the relative they claim to be.

“The caller may say they are a grandson or such and need money because they were in an accident,” he noted. “The caller will also tell you not to tell anyone or they could get in more trouble.”

The callers need the money immediately and ask that it be by a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. Sheriff Myers said they

usually do not answer any personal questions.

“I cannot warn our citizens enough about these scammers,” Myers said. “They constantly devise new ways to steal from people. I strongly urge folks to never give out any information over the phone that can be used by scammers.”

Myers went on to add that the holiday season seems to be a prime time for scammers.

“They want your money so they can make it their money,” he said. “They will try anything to get it. You cannot be careful enough. I urge folks, especially the elderly, to be very cautious.

Do not send money to those asking for it over the phone through a call that you did not initiate. If you have concerns, talk to over with your family and friends. Just be safe.”

Sheriff Myers recommends those who receive calls that are believed to be fraudulent to report such matters to his office 740-942-2197 or the Ohio Attorney General’s Office 614466-4986.

Committee announces small business relief program HARRISON COUNTY - The Harrison County CARES Committee announced on Oct. 14 the opening of their Small Business Relief Program. The Small business Relief Program will provide Harrison County small businesses (30 or less employees are considered Small Businesses) with relief due to

expenses from business interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eligible small businesses may apply for up to $5,000 in grant funds to be used for the reimbursement of eligible expenses. The application form, eligibility requirements, and process information can be found on the Harrison County Website, or in the Commissioner’s Office, and any questions regarding the program can be emailed to aanderson@harrisoncountyohio .org.

Also, Marchetta said there is some disinformation going around over how much the SSAD levy would generate, which he said someone had put on social media as more than $900,000 but Marchetta said that is not true. County Auditor Allison Anderson confirmed that the funds generated would come to $624,575.

Commissioner Paul Coffland stated this week that the need for Harrison Community Hospital to be the backup would still be needed, as they are now.

“We would still have volunteers as the first call, not

HCH as some have stated,” Coffland explained. “The residents in those villages and townships voting on the Silver Spade are voting for a guaranteed ambulance service.”

Another issue to decide is Sunday sale of wine and mixed beverages between the hours of 10 a.m. and midnight. Bell Stores Inc of 339 Lincoln Ave. in Cadiz is listed as the beneficiary.

Running unopposed this November are: Paul Coffland-D (county commissioner); Dale Norris-D (county commissioner); Porsche Beetham-R (coroner); Doug Bachman (county engineer), Joe Myers-D (sheriff); Vicki Sefsick-

D (treasurer); Leslie Milliken-D (clerk of courts); Shawn Hervey (common pleas judge); Matthew Puskarich (probate division judge) and Don JonesR (state house of representatives).

The Board of Elections office hours are: Saturday (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.); Sunday (1 p.m. to 5 p.m.) but next week will be 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the week. On Nov. 2 the hours are from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. with no office voting on Election Day Nov. 3.

do not live in Cadiz but work in Cadiz would pay the excess of whatever their place of residence does not require up to 2 percent. For instance, if another village requires 1 percent, then that individual’s income tax would be split between their village and the village where they work.

Typically Cadiz employs six people to maintain grounds, plow snow and carry out any necessary repairs around town.

However, two have retired and Cadiz does not currently have

the ability to replace those positions.

“We must balance the budget, and our major expense is employees. We have not replaced two employees who retired and the police department is down two officers,” Anderzjewski said.

“How much more can we lose?

We have four employees to take care of an entire city, and that cannot change until our budget increases.”

doing some research about the advantages of having a website for the Village.

Council discussed this matter and formed a new Webpage Committee, consisting of Council President Paula Beamer and Council members Bob John and Hope Hurley. Beamer advised that she believes that the monthly maintenance cost of a website, approximated at $46, could be absorbed by the savings that the Village will realize by eliminating an existing phone line and combing with another.

Council unanimously approved a start-up funding of $2,000 for the webpage, to include obtaining a domain address.

In other discussion, Beamer reported that smoke testing was complete and that she plans to begin working with the engineers later in the week to evaluate the Village’s utility rates, to be brought in line for grant eligibility requirements.

Beamer said that it is her goal to have the new rates available for Council approval in either

November or December, so that they may go into effect on January 1, 2021.

In regards to the smoke testing, Mayor Jacquie Humphrey said that she would like to clear up some nonsense and chatter on social media by confirming that the results from the smoke testing that had been done several years ago absolutely were submitted for the current project, but were inadequate at this time.

Humphrey further said that anyone who is concerned about Council’s actions should attend a meeting or contact a Council member prior to “pushing misinformation” out to the public.

Former McDonald’s CEO lays the hammer at Ox Roast dinner

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com HOPEDALE – The Harrison County Republican Party held their annual Ox Roast dinner last Thursday evening and the proverbial punches were not held back. Party members came out swinging with desert served mostly with colorful wording and lightly sautéed in anger.

Hopedale native Ed Rensi, the former CEO of McDonald’s was the keynote speaker who led the pack in pummeling the democrats but in fairness, also laid some criticism on the public itself, including a well-attended crowd who were sitting in front of him.

Rensi named three enemies of this country and of course, one of them was the media, “big media” to be exact, which is hardly new where everyone in the profession is being used as a piñata.

“These are very, very important times in our country,” he began then provided a little background on his Hopedale upbringing before talking of his education at Ohio State University.

“And I’ve had the good fortune of having very strong roots in Harrison County,” he said proudly. “Relatives, friends, family and it is truly an example of the adage from Africa that it does take a village to raise a child.”

He called the new high school “magnificent” and thanked fracking but wasn’t specific on that end.

Rensi informed the crowd just how active China is around the world and that’s when he opined on his rhetoric of three-enemies giving China the number one spot. He noted their aggressive moves in the Pacific, as well as their growing influence in the Panama Canal region.

“They’re an economic enemy, they’re a military enemy and they are a psychological enemy,” Rensi told the crowd. He continued with China’s interest in the North Carolina Research Triangle as he noticed many more Chinese were involved there than Americans, as well as their influx of campuses across the United States. Rensi

said they can be managed and Trump’s “slapping them around with those tariffs was good.”

Rensi attributed the COVID outbreak that occurred in Italy earlier in the year, on the Chinese flying their technicians into Milan for railroad work (according to Forbes it is part of the ancient Silk Road) that is to connect London and Beijing.

“That one Belt One road is about world domination of economics, they’re doing the same thing in Africa…” Rensi told the crowd.

He returned to the media, even accusing the Fox Network, which has been a bastion of republican support, especially since Trump took office, for “creeping in” as an enemy with special attention to social media as the biggest of all.

He described that entity as full of “snot nosed geeks that think they’ve really done something special and they got their heads so far up their petudy, they haven’t had fresh air in years.” He also showed his irritation at being blocked and criticized some of the censorship by these outlets that have been in the news lately.

He talked of the principals handed down to him by his parents then spoke of how privileged he was to grow up in Harrison County.

“Because I learned some very important values: trust in friends, faith in God, charity when needed and charity when not needed,” he explained. He said it was important to be friends with everybody and called growing up here as having wonderful roots.

Then the fun started when he returned to the media and accused them of lying while standing underneath a Trump banner that read, “No more bullsh_t.”

“They lie. I don’t know what the motive is,” he said but guessed one reason might be economics.

He then covered college-aged individuals, not too kindly, and emphasized we should pay attention to the education system.

Rensi said the most important person in this election was, “your vote.” This led to his third enemy and bluntly said, “us, the people in this room.”

“You only get what you vote for,” Rensi shouted. “We did it to ourselves,” though he did not say who or what the “it” was exactly.

He continued by telling the crowd how important it was to get young people “intelligently engaged.” He continued that rhetoric in the importance of young people to be involved then abruptly turned on Bernie Sanders and said he would be the chairman of the budget committee if Joe Biden wins the election. He threw sarcasm on Sanders not having any money then spoke of Sander’s wealth that was really in his wife’s name and not his, while calling him a socialist.

“What a bunch of hypocrites and whores,” he said, which drew a roomful of laughs and eventually a standing ovation when he finally finished.

Also, of the large crowd that nearly filled the Hopedale Fire Hall, very few were wearing masks on the heels of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christies’ revelation that he’d just spent seven days in an ICU unit after checking himself into a hospital for precautionary measures, after testing positive for COVID. Others at the head table were Ohio Supreme Court Justices Sharon L. Kennedy and Judith L. French, Sen. Frank Hoagland-R (District 30) and Rep. Bill Johnson-R (District

6). Johnson also had a few colorful words to share with the audience when talking of democrats and poured it on while picking up Rensi’s bootstraps.

Johnson shared a Civil War analogy and spoke of how

important Ohio was to this election. Dressed casually and sporting a black cowboy hat Johnson said he wore his fighten’ clothes and they were fighting for the heart and soul of this nation.

“They are liars, they are

deceptive, they are going to take us over the left side of the cliff,” he explained without naming anyone in particular.

He said, “they are going to take our guns” because that’s what he said the democrats promised about coal “and they did it.”

Look at the Past A look back at the Nelms Mine disaster Pt. 3

Nelms Mine Disaster - A look inside the former Cadiz Republican office (where the Harrison County Historical Society is today) that shows the command center for Hearst, International News and AP wire services covering the news of the Nelms Mine Disaster, Nov. 29, 1940. The Harrison County Historical Society in cooperation with the Puskarich Public Library will be presenting a program to commemorate this event on Friday, Nove. 6 at 7 p.m. The event that was planned for the Barr Gymnasium, Scio will be replaced with a "Zoom" presentation on the Harrison County Historical Society and Puskarich Public Library Facebook pages and on the library’s webpage. Because of the uptick in Covid cases in the county, for protection to the public, the virtual viewing will be used instead.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THANKS FOR DEER BLIND An awesome deer blind was built for me by an even more awesome group of people on Saturday, the 10th of October.

Curtis Baumann is the founder of Veterans Outdoor Adventures. These are veterans and first responders working together to give back to us disabled veterans by building and providing opportunities for us to continue to enjoy the Ohio wilderness.

Thirteen men were here building this blind. I will not even attempt to name you all because at my age, I’ll invariably forget someone.

But, Curtis knows who you are, you know who you are, but most importantly, God knows who you are.

I have already thanked God for what you have done for me. I have asked him to give each and every one of you a

SUPPORT FOR WILLIS Years ago, the recorder's office had long lines out the door. They were not online, as other surrounding counties.

Because they were not online, copies had to be made at a cost in time and money. There were rules which prevented immediate help, as it was

special blessing.

A big thank you goes to Lowe’s. They had a truck and four men here all day. I understand Lowe’s supplied all the lumber. At the price of lumber today, that is a big deal.

Thank you, Lowe’s.

I forget here last name, but Tracy and her husband are members of the New Philadelphia Elks.

I understand Tracy was instrumental in getting the Elks to donate a large sum of money to put toward this project. Thank you Tracy and thank you Elks. May God bless you all.

Fred - enough cannot be said about Fred. He is the manager of the North Canton Longhorn Steakhouse. He came with his grill and a bunch of steaks, plus there was potato salad and beans. I don’t know if Tracy supplied those or if Fred did that also. I know Tracy had the brownies. Fred, the steaks were out of this world. I say it was the best strictly first come first serve, notwithstanding emergencies regarding millions of dollars.

Harrison County was the worst place to do business if the recorder's office was needed.

Josh Willis turned that office around, quickly, and professionally, with a sharp staff who gets much, good work done, efficiently.

Willis's work is an example of how fast things can be

steak I ever ate. Thank you ever so much, Fred.

Last, but not least, our neighbors Darryl and Diane Holmes; they allowed everyone to traverse their pasture to get to the building site. Darryl even took time to open up a nice road.

My son, Tim, is the one that got this ball rolling, and he didn’t stop until they left Saturday evening. As a matter of fact, he was the last to leave, making sure all gates were closed. He’d been talking with Curtis most of the summer. So a huge thank you goes out to Tim. You can see pictures of all this on Facebook at Veterans Outdoor Adventures. I would love to see someone do a feature story on these veterans and first responders.

Once again, I say God bless everyone involved in giving me this beautiful deer blind.

Bob Fulton Cadiz, Ohio made better, if not the best.

Please be sure to vote for Josh Willis, recorder. Harrison County needs him in that spot.

With the right people, with the right attitudes, in the right positions, Harrison County can excel in every arena.

James Coffelt Cadiz, Ohio

Good News

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

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life My wife and I were in traffic one day and stopped at a red light. I must have been too quiet because she asked me what I was thinking about.

This intersection had two traffic signals hanging there and I said, “I was wondering why the two red lights are different shades of red. I wonder which one is older.” And she says, “That’s it?

That’s what you were thinking about!” As you already know, ladies, there’s not always a whole lot going on in the hallowed halls of the male cerebral chamber. But much of the time thoughts can lead us in directions that are good or bad.

One thing is certain, your body never goes where your mind didn’t go first. That’s why it is so important to heed the apostle Paul’s advice in his letter to the Philippians where he counsels us to, “think about whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and whatever is of good repute. If there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.”

It’s hard to think hateful, revengeful thoughts about someone if you’re dwelling on things that are right, pure, and honorable.

So, in order for you and I to change our life, we have to change what goes into our mind. That’s a tall order for some folks considering what a media saturated world we live in. There’s always a message coming at you wanting to influence your belief system. We are all the gatekeepers of our mind, so it is our individual responsibility to determine what gets in, what gets rejected and what we dwell on which brings me to the displacement theory.

In some areas of the country there is a tree known as the Gambel Scrub Oak. It’s a short, not very handsome tree whose leaves turn brown in autumn but never fall off. These ugly brown leaves hang there all winter until they are pushed off by new green leaves in the spring. This is how our thought life should work, push out the old ugly stuff and replace it with new growth. That’s why Paul

told us in Romans to renew our mind in God’s Word and not be squeezed into the mold of pop culture, or if we are willing to learn from the Scrub Oak tree, quit hanging on to the ugly stuff and replace it with the good things from God. Elijah asked the Israelites, “How long shall you be paralyzed between two opinions, if God is God worship Him, if Baal is god then worship him.” It’s very common for people who have a salvation experience to have a mind going in another direction. The New Testament teaches that in a spiritual warfare sense, we are called to “pull down strongholds and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

So, unless you are contemplating the age of the traffic signal you’re sitting at, it’s time for believers to be good gatekeepers of what gets in our mind and what gets booted.

Let’s think about what we are thinking about.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy I am so overjoyed with Susan Nolan being named Jefferson County Educational Service Center's 2020 Principal of the Year. She has been principal of Buckeye North Elementary School for 13 years and spent 43 years in the field of education. I feel like I have a special handle on knowing Susie because either Lamont or I are seated by her at the Brilliant Lions Club meetings. She is like a ray of sunshine although she has two hard private years. . Susie received recognition from the Mingo Knights of Columbus to the Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators and started a program with the male Buckeye parents called Team BLUE, (Buckeye Local Unites Everyone) to enhance Panther Pride across the district On April 7, 1961, I met a lady for the first time, through the birth of our first son and her fourth child at Trinity,Hospital, although it had a different name then. We lost track over the years but today I saw in the "Today’s Birthday" column that June Bodo was celebrating a birthday. How fast memories can come back over some things in life. I will send this column to her with a birthday card.

I want to provide get-well wishes to my sister-in-law, Norma McHugh who had a slight heart attack this week. She is slowly improving. My brother, Dale, is taking good care of her.

My sister, Dorothy Toth, had surgery for breast cancer and has to go on with further events. I was to be the baby sister for Nola and Lucy, her beautiful granddaughters. Hopefully my illness will be over shortly. The world is still beautiful place

SCIO

By Ina Marks The picture of the Nelms Mine disaster brought back a poignant memory for my friend, Elizabeth(Mihalco) Dunlap. Liz’s father, Michael Mihalco, was an electrician at the mine, who worked the day shift.

The day before the disaster, Pete Speicher (also an electrician) asked Liz’s father to switch shifts with him. Mr. Speicher wanted to work the day shift, so he could wire a house that evening. He was going to use the extra money to buy a violin for his daughter’s birthday gift. Mike and Pete switched shifts and Pete was the first body removed from the mine.

Liz’s father and many others worked until the next day searching for survivors and removing the bodies of their coworkers. Liz was able to enjoy her father for many years after, but the fateful switch stayed with their family forever.

I’m sure the picture touched many hearts. We pray for them, and hope they R.I.P. Bless everyone.

Ohio heads into peak time for deer-related crashes COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Department of Insurance, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Ohio Department of Natural Resources and AAA want to remind motorists of the increase in deer-related traffic crashes this time of year.

In 2019, statistics from the Ohio State Highway Patrol show there were 19,375 deerrelated crashes on Ohio’s roadways. Of those crashes, four resulted in fatal injuries to motorists and 966 people were injured. Additionally, 46 percent of these crashes occurred in October, November, and December.

“I encourage everyone to always be attentive while driving on Ohio’s roadways, especially during this peak time of year for deer-related crashes,” said Governor Mike DeWine.

“Always use your safety belt and never drive distracted.”

Some of the top counties for deer-related crashes include Stark, Richland, Lorain, Trumbull, and Hancock with US-30, I-71 and I-80 being the leading roadways in the state.

“Always avoid distractions and keep your full focus on the roadway,” said Colonel Richard

Fambro of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. “If you see a deer slow down, but do not swerve. If you strike a deer, move to a safe place if you are able, turn on your hazard lights, and report the crash.”

According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), deer become much more active during the fall breeding season which occurs from late October through November. Males pursue prospective mates throughout the season.

However, they often encounter females that are not yet willing to breed, which can result in pursuits where deer will dart into roadways with little caution. This action leads to an increase in deer-related vehicle accidents this time of year.

Drivers are encouraged to be extra cautious in areas where habitat features (fencerows, riparian corridors, or other blocks of forested habitat) intersect a roadway. Deer and other wildlife use these corridors and patches to traverse the landscape.

“Deer increase their daily movements in the fall months, but they are incredibly

unpredictable,” ODNR wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker said. “The best advice to keep everyone safe is to stay alert and remember deer rarely run alone.”

Colliding with a deer is not only dangerous, it’s also very costly. Recent data estimates the average insurance claim for a deer-vehicle collision in Ohio is nearly $4,000. Vehicle sensors found on newer vehicles continue to increase repair costs.

In fact, AAA found these new safety systems can double repair bills for minor collisions (more at Newsroom.AAA.com).

Without adequate insurance, drivers are left footing this bill.

That’s why it’s important to make sure you’re covered before a crash occurs.

“Ohio drivers should stay focused and avoid distractions at all times, especially this time of year when the deer are extremely active,” said Tynesia Dorsey, interim director of the Ohio Department of Insurance.

“I also urge Ohioans to contact their insurance agent to ensure they have appropriate financial protection if an accident occurs.”

AAA and the Ohio

Department of Insurance remind drivers that the optional comprehensive coverage (also known as “other than collision” coverage) portion of an auto insurance policy often is used to pay for deer-vehicle damage repair. Collision or liability-only policies do not cover the damage. With the vast number of costly deer-collisions on Ohio’s roads, it is often a good idea to maintain comprehensive coverage, even with older vehicles.

How to avoid animal collisions: Scan the road ahead: Looking ahead helps provide enough reaction time if an animal is spotted. Also, remember some animals, like deer, move in groups, so when there is one, there are usually more in the area.

Use high beam headlights if there is no oncoming traffic: This can help you spot deer or other wildlife more quickly and give you time to slow down, move over or honk the horn to scare the animal away. High beams also help in spotting animals’ reflective eyes.

Be extra cautious at dawn and dusk: Deer tend to be more

active in the early morning and at dusk. That’s why these are peak times for deer-vehicle collisions.

If a collision is unavoidable, apply the brakes firmly and remain in your lane: Swerving to avoid an animal can often cause a more serious crash or cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Drivers who swerve to miss a deer and hit something else may be charged for an atfault crash.

Always wear a seatbelt and remain awake, alert, and sober: The chances of getting injured when hitting an animal are much higher if you don’t have your seatbelt on. If you’re distracted or drowsy, you’re not properly scanning the road for deer and could end up spotting them too late.

What to do if you hit a deer: Following the collision, call the police.

Avoid making contact with the deer/animal. A frightened and wounded animal can be dangerous and pose a threat when approached or might further injure itself.

Activate the vehicle’s hazard lights whether it’s light or dark outside.

If possible, move the vehicle to a safe location out of the roadway, and wait for help to arrive.

Drivers should contact their insurance agent or company representative as quickly as possible to report any vehicle damage.

Ohioans with insurance questions can reach out to the Ohio Department of Insurance at 1-800-686-1526 or via www.insurance.ohio.gov. The website also contains wideranging educational insurance information.

AAA provides more than 61 million members with travel, insurance, financial, and automotive related services.

Since its founding in 1902, the not-for-profit, fully tax-paying AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. AAA clubs can be visited online at AAA.com.

As always, motorists are also reminded they can dial #677 from their mobile device to be connected to the nearest Ohio State Highway Patrol Post.

Raiders run Huskies from postseason play By: DJ WATSON NH Sports Writer

CANFIELD – For nearly two quarters, the Harrison Central Huskies went on the road last Saturday night and danced toeto-toe with one of the state’s premier Division V programs.

South Range is a mainstay in the postseason, making their 17th all-time appearance this year. Of those 17, the Raiders have qualified on 13 different occasions since the year 2000.

With top-notch facilities to go along with their on-field reputation, the Raiders are primed for a return to the state semis, which they visited not long ago in 2017. However, with all that said, at the 4:33 mark of the first half, the number one seeded Raiders found themselves in an unexpected position. Kobe Mitchell connected with Trevor Carman on a three yard touchdown toss, and the underdog Huskies took a 14-13 lead on the heavily favored Raiders.

As the tight tally started to catch attention of scoreboard watchers near and far, it was as if South Range flipped an internal switch. The Raiders reeled off the game’s final 42 points, recovering from the Huskies stiff early test to advance into the next round with a 55-14 victory.

“We are obviously disappointed in the outcome of our playoff game. We knew going in that we had to have near perfect execution if we were going to be successful. We added a few wrinkles that we thought would cause them problems on both sides of the ball. We got a big stop which enabled us to grab the lead after a very good drive.

Unfortunately, they responded back really quick with a touchdown on the ensuing drive,” Head Coach Anthony Hayes stated.

The head ball coach wasn’t exaggerating when he said “really quick” either. The Raiders scored to take back the lead just 17 seconds later. With the score now sitting at 20-14 in

favor of South Range, the Huskies got a shot before half to keep that hypothetical switch turned off, and keep the pressure on Goliath.

Harrison mounted a drive that stalled out in the red zone with roughly a minute remaining before the break. Unfortunately, the Raiders made full use of the limited game clock, scoring again to take a 27-14 lead while leaving just 10 seconds on the second quarter clock. The powerhouse train that is South Range football was now rolling, and it wouldn’t be stopped for the remainder of the evening.

“We were inside their 20-yard line four times in the first half and came away with just 14 points. If we want to beat a team like South Range, we have to be a perfect four-for-four on those trips. If we execute in the second quarter, we probably are either up seven at the half or at least working a tie ball game. Now, does that mean we win? No. However, that greatly impacts

Husky volleyball dispatches West Red Devils blank junior high Huskies Muskingum in sectional action

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - Following a loss at Shenandoah last Thursday in a close five-set match, the Lady Huskies varsity volleyball team went back to work on Saturday in a sectional quarter final contest against visiting Lady Tornados of West Muskingum.

Though hungry for a win, the Huskies gave away the first set of the match by a score of 25 - 18.

From there, along with a little chewing from coach Sarah Hawthorne, the Huskies renewed their hunger and went back out on the court and

showed the Tornadoes how the game is played. Hustle and teamwork led the Huskies to a second set win and a monstrous gap win by a score of 25 - 12.

During the third set, the Huskies dug out more would-be points, chased down more ricochets and offered more assists than they had all season.

The performance left the visitors in surprise of the Huskies and the game outcome was reflected in their unsuccessful attempts to recover.

The third set would go on to produce a greater margin of disproportion, while giving the Huskies a winning score of 25 -

9. The final set was just as dominating, and the Huskies took the set and the match by a count of 25 - 16.

Each player to a man contributed to the win.

Individually, Lexi Ferguson had 27 assists, McKayla Dunkle had 22 kills and Maddy Butler had 10 digs.

On Monday night the Huskies ended their 2020 season with a loss to visiting Union Local. The scores from the match were 2514, 25-19, 26-24 (UL). In that match Ferguson had 17 assists, Butler - 13 digs, Dunkle - 11 kills, five blocks, Audrey Corder six kills and Danica Rensi five digs.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - The junior high Huskies traveled to St. Clairsville’s Red Devil Stadium last Wednesday for a contest with the Red Devils.

St. Clairsville scored only 8 seconds into the game to set the tone for the rest of the game as the Devils ended up on top with a 54 -0 score.

The bright spot for the Huskies was a forced fumble by Cameron McAfee and the recovery by Brady McPeak.

Gamble to reenter the ring for MMA fight

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - On Nov. 28, Harrison Central’s former standout athlete Cody Gamble will be reentering the ring to put his fighting skills to a test.

He will be in fighting in Monroeville, Pa., at the Convention Center in an MMA bout.

If you are interested in attending the bout tickets can be reached through 247fighting.com.

The promotion that Gamble will be

fighting for is 247 Fighting Championships.

Gamble’s current fighting record is 1- 0 - 0 in mixed martial arts (MMA) and 1- 0 0 in boxing. Gamble always says that he is fighting for his home town and hometown friends.

cross-country runners,” said head cross-country coach Doug Drapp.

“We have run this season with a few minor injuries, and now with our new ‘normal’ to deal with, we have survived. This past weekend we ran at the OVCCL Meet at Buckeye Local. All of the runners showed up to the meet ready to go.

Our seasoned runners ran well and our younger runners also ran extremely well.”

“We are looking forward to District Meet coming up this coming weekend, and I personally expect to see some good results with times. We are also excited to see the junior high results as they are competing at the State level this weekend as well. There are only six runners at that level,” the coach added.

The Harrison Central Huskies traveled to Tusky Valley on Thursday, Oct. 15, to play the Trojans on their grass field. The Huskies scored first 12 minutes into the first half off a penalty kick by senior co-captain Jack Novotny.

Then with 12 minutes left to play in the half, Novotny’s corner kick was booted into the goal by sophomore Kadon Jurosko to put the Huskies ahead 2-0. Just two

minutes later, the Trojans scored off a penalty kick to cut the Huskies’ lead at 2-1 to end the half.

At 1 minute and 21 seconds into the second half the Trojans’s corner kick found the back of the net to tie the score 2-2. Although both teams fought to score again, the game ended in a tie.

Huskies goalkeeper Mack Marshall saved six shots on goal during the matchup. Head coach Derek Gramling said, “it was a cold, wet, dreary day and game.

It is always tough to play Tusky Valley away.” He continued, “defense had their hands full all night dealing with long throw after long throw, but they did well under the circumstances.

Offense struggled all night to keep the ball and make penetrating runs. Overall a 2-2 tie was a fair result.”

This game wrapped up the 2020 season for the Huskies who are looking forward to a strong showing during sectional tournament play.

the way the game was played in the second half. It certainly influences your mindset at the break if we are in either of those positions as opposed to being down 13,” Hayes explained.

The Huskies made the first half a game, answering the Raiders opening score with a Mitchell four yard touchdown run to tie things up at 7-7 with 6:41 to go in the first quarter. Kicker Jace Madzia converted the PAT on both Harrison scores. The opening quarter ended knotted at seven.

The largest difference in the first half was that the Raiders were mowing down yards in big swaths, while the Huskies were playing a game of chess with the play clock. Harrison more than doubled the Raiders possession time in the first half, allowing them to keep the big play offense of South Range off the

field as much as possible. Drive sustainability was huge for the Huskies the first 24 minutes, but it was the last 24 minutes that haunted the visitors in that department.

“Offensively, we most definitely got the looks that we wanted but we struggled to capitalize. Defensively, we tackled really well at moments in the box but we did not tackle a soul on the perimeter. Tackling has been an issue all year for us.

That is probably due in large part to limited contact in practice for various reasons. We had them in third and long a few times and either had costly penalties or gave up a long conversion,” Hayes commented.

While it is tough to take one on the chin, it is certainly a measuring stick of sorts to assess where a team is and where they are striving to be in the future.

And it appears that is the approach that Hayes and his staff are taking.

“If we ever want to take the

next step as a program, meaning competing for championships and not just a win, we must change our mindset. South Range didn't wake up one day and become a state power. They woke up every day and decided they were willing to do whatever it took to be special. That is the difference between them and us.

It is not a matter of personnel or talent. We have those things too.

It is a matter of doing what it takes. Be willing to make ourselves uncomfortable. When we are willing to be uncomfortable, we will grow,” Hayes concluded.

The Raiders will advance to meet the #7 seed Beechwood Bison, and the Huskies will return to regular season play at home against Southern Local this weekend. The annual V.A.L.E.S game will follow this weekend’s game to close out the 2020 campaign for Harrison Central. The trophy matchup will return to Wagner Field this year.

Conotton Valley Board of Education recognizes teachers By: JACQUIE HUMPHREY NH Correspondent

Wright had chosen Mrs. Lindsay McGarry, third grade teacher who is in her fourth year at Conotton, for one of his examples of elearning. Wright cited McGarry’s energy, enthusiasm, interaction with students and use of visuals as noteworthy.

Wright said that King “wants the kids to love it (music)” as much as she does. He praised King for her personality, creativity and flexibility. King is also co-teaching second grade.

Caldwell advised that “all (grades) but first grade are using Google Classroom”.

Caldwell chose Ms. Jen Hiles, high school English teacher, as one of her two examples of online instruction. Caldwell cited Hiles for her interactive process in video instruction that added to her “ability to bring a feeling of naturalness to the (online) classroom”.

Caldwell also singled out Senora Pilar Gonzalez, commending her use of agenda, ability to differentiate, as well as her emphasis on practice and pacing on the videos.

Superintendent Todd Herman said that he “thanked the Board for our resources” that helped greatly in getting the e-learning up and running. Herman said that he has tasked all of Conotton’s teachers with preparing 180 days of video

instruction and that “nobody else is doing this”.

Two more graduate from Dependency Court

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HARRISON COUNTY – Chris and Melissa are not their real names but their story is very real and one that many others can unfortunately identify with — the addictive ways opiates act as a superhighway for the real demon, heroin. It acts like Santa’s bad helper in that it leads to the destructive nature of the self where a person will do just about anything to keep, or achieve that next high.

They are husband and wife and both had surroundings in their childhood that might explain some of their behavior, Melissa more so than Chris. But Chris talked of how after 36 years of what he felt at the time was “I drank a little bit growing up” that turned into the last five years of living hell. He said it wasn’t anything he couldn’t quit with drinking and other stuff on the weekends, that is until he found opiates.

“And then something happened when I turned, I don’t know, was around the wrong people and it grabbed me,” he explained. What he and Melissa described has become the crux of this phenomenal crisis that has hit the United States, and especially the Ohio Valley very hard, which is an addiction to opiates from pain medication.

And it has become a catalyst for far too many.

Chris said he knew he was in trouble when he realized he needed the drug to function for the day.

“I mean that happens pretty quick,” he said when he went from pills to heroin. “The most addictive thing I’ve ever touched. I’ll never go back I know that, it was hell.” They tried managing a daughter and that didn’t work then Melissa became pregnant again with her second child, a son. Melissa said it was oxycodone and tramadol were two that ultimately led to her destruction.

The couple was forced to sign

over their daughter in December of 2018 after suffering bouts of depression and more addictions that led to a 13-day jail stint in September of 2017. Melissa said her experiences with illegal substances were much less than his where she said he described her previous life as “hiding under a rock,” with occasional marijuana use and hardly anything else.

“I’m actually a good girl, I really was…” Melissa said as she began meeting new and different people after being with Chris. This led to living life a little more than she was used to, which led to more drinking and different drugs.

“Like I said, as the years progressed then I got on the doctor’s prescribing me pain pills, that’s when I really liked the feel for opiates,” she explained. She said after becoming pregnant with her first child she quit everything including cigarettes.

But problems in the marriage and

accusations flew, one resulting from a neighbor’s complaint she said was a “false accusation,” which led to Child Protective Services taking her daughter away. This led to a deep depression where she wasn’t permitted around her husband or her sister because of her taking care of the child. This left her alone where she eventually found herself back with her husband and a 2016 birthday present of heroin.

“That’s all she wrote,” Melissa said of the day everything drastically changed. Chris described it as a psychological and physical hold on a person.

He expressed some guilt for that but Melissa admits it was her decision.

“It brainwashed me,” he said.

“After I was in jail for thirty days and started to sober up I was like, what the hell was I doing for two years?” But the drug has a mind of its own and Chris said it comes to the point where all he could think of was where the next fix would come from and if

Jewett post office close to opening

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – Mayor Dwight Busby told council at Wednesday evening’s council meeting that the word was that the long-awaited opening of their post office would be Nov. 2. The building has been closed for repairs since around June and many are frustrated it has taken this long.

Council Member Rick Meneely said he was told that a recent hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico pulled workers away contributing to the delay in the work.

“There’s no reason they had to wait on that crew to come back from Louisiana,” Meneely said.

“There’s other people that could have put that damn floor in.”

He wasn’t pleased with the owner of the building and Busby added that the village had

no control over the situation and it was also out of the U.S. Postal Service’s hands, as they do not own the building as they did in Cadiz.

“And it’s not the post office’s fault,” Meneely said, “I think they should have been looking for another facility…”

Also talked about at great length was the COVID situation and general safety of its village employees. Council Member Bo Bailey informed council on the safety committee’s recent discussion over establishing a safety program. He was now bringing those findings to council, which included Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) with employees wearing protective clothing. Baily noted vests that could be worn over the clothing as well.

Another PPE issue was safety boots at six inches or above.

Safety glasses, hard hats and

gloves. Baily said long pants should be a must as well with the weed eating they must do, but said it should be worn “at all times.”

He also covered training and what council expects of their employees concerning the PPE issue, which led to them wearing masks as well.

“And anytime they’re in close quarters inside the water plant they should be wearing their masks,” Bailey explained. Riding around in vehicles together should not be permitted and to stay away from “close quarters.”

Opening the meeting was Clerk of Water & Public Affairs Rhonda Harris stating that the village collected around $39,800, according to her RITA report (Regional Income Tax Agency). She said that came to around $6,000 less compared to last year at this point. Harris said 68 customers were late in paying their water bills but only

seven are on the shutoff list.

Harris also announced a check received from the auditor’s office in the amount of $4,637.04 for “the tax liens that we put on for unpaid water bills.” But with that she added some bad news as she informed council that her computer is not reading the new billing software. She said she would either need a new disc drive or an update on the new software. Council approved of her request.

Meneely also said he received a text message from Commissioner Dale Norris informing him that the spillway between Jewett and Scio would be worked on for two dates: Oct. 26 and Nov. 9. He said that would open it back up but left the dredging problem still left to do.

“That’s not doing us any good with the dredging but that’s a start,” he told council.

Moravian Trail DAR chapter holds meeting The Moravian Trail Chapter of the DAR met Saturday, Oct. 17 at the Ranch to Table Restaurant in Cadiz with six members and one prospective member present. Dessert and a social time were enjoyed. Janice Yager and Susan Adams were hostesses. Chaplain, Peggy Milliken gave an invocation.

Regent, Jackie Gephart called the business meeting to order by welcoming everyone, especially prospective member, Jade Pacholczuk.

The first order of business was to install the chapter treasurer who was unable to be at the last meeting. Regent, Jackie Gephart and Chaplain Peggy Milliken installed Sheila Perkins as the

new treasurer.

Regent Gephart and Chaplain Milliken led the DAR Ritual. Chaplain Milliken gave a devotion about Charlotte Elliot who had felt ill equipped and helpless to help others until God led her to write the hymn "Just As I Am". That Hymn was instrumental in the conversion of C.S.Lewis and Billy Graham and continued to be a part of the Graham crusades.

Charlotte Thomas read the President General's message where she called for recognizing the Day of Prayer and Day of Service.

She asked members to keep track and log in their hours of service and to accept the "We

Can Do It" membership challenge.

Jackie Gebhart gave the National Defense message by sharing parts of a message from National Defense secretary Dr. Mark Esper discussing new technology designed to give warfighters the advantage as our rivals China and Russia are seeking to erode America's long standing advantage.

Our adversaries have available capabilities such as long range rifles, killer satellites and cyberspace. Esper outlined ways the U.S. is countering these initiatives, including efforts to work with allies.

The secretary and treasurer's reports were read by Janice Yager

and Sheila Perkins.

The group had a tutorial about making greeting cards from Jackie Gebhart and enjoyed making a Thanksgiving and Christmas card The meeting concluded with members putting together gift "Hug Mugs.” They were filled with small gift items to give to our local veterans on Veteran's Day as a thank you for their service. They will be distributed from the Veteran's Service office.

The next meeting will be November 21 at 1:30 in the Genealogy Office in Cadiz. The program will be by Peggy Milliken on Women's Sufferage.

The hostesses will be Peggy Milliken and Pam Harding.

Videoconferences see parade of defendants

By JD LONG

CADIZ – The videoconference style hearings continued in Harrison County Common Pleas Court Wednesday, and so did most of the usual crimes, such as methamphetamine possession for example. Only a few defendants appeared in person beginning with Brianna Charlton who received two years of Community Based Control sanctions (CBC) for aggravated possession of drugs.

More serious cases came from Joshua Tharp, 23 with a Scio address, appearing from Mahoning County jail where he faces one count of voyeurism, a misdemeanor of the second degree but also a burglary

charge, a felony of the second degree. Judge T. Shawn Hervey stated that an evaluation had been completed deeming Tharp competent to stand trial. His case has now been re-set.

Cruise Bishop, 24, of Cadiz, held on a $50,000 bond is facing two counts of pandering obscenities involving a minor, second and fourth degree felonies, will take an Ohio Risk Assessment (ORAS), which was all he needed for in his hearing on Wednesday.

Other cases involving aggravated possession of drugs were Teala Swanson who was approved for placement in the Easter Ohio Correction Center. She also pleaded guilty to trespassing (F4).

Michael Beach, also facing aggravated possession of drugs (F4) has two cases, where Judge

Hervey said he wasn’t sure if they were actually the same case or separate ones. He said once his arraignment was complete and he’s appointed an attorney, and the state has a chance to review everything then they will know if he has two charges against him or just one. Beach is scheduled to appear next week.

Isaiah Hackworth, 20, of New Philadelphia is being held on two charges, one is a misdemeanor for obstructing official business and the other a felony four for receiving stolen property. Judge Hervey said a bill of particulars would be reviewed by the end of the day and also ordered Hackworth to take an ORAS exam.

Another drug case involved Megan Morse, 39, of Harrisville,

was released after serving some time for suffering two infractions while incarcerated. She faced two burglaries and a theft charge stemming from her 2015 case.

Hervey told her she would serve only four months of probation and if she couldn’t stay clean there would be no other avenue but jail after this.

Two victims, a couple, were present in the courtroom and had no objections to her release.

Hervey said she would serve out the remainder of her five-month sentence in local jail if she violates her CBC sanctions, as her infractions were not serious enough to send her to prison.

Morse was emotional and during her segment to speak and thanked the judge.

he didn’t hookup, he knew he would become sick.

Melissa said at first, it’s a “calming effect” but after constant use an intense need kicks in. She said she eventually developed a physical tolerance for the drug but if the habit went unmet, that horrible sickness would take over.

“Sick is not even the word,” she said where they both agreed the feeling was ten times worse than the flu. “I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.” Chris added that it was extremely costly and he wasn’t talking just finances. Melissa even carried a college degree in criminal justice into her nightmare but it was the hard and long road that made her see.

“I have a background in studying substances and I aced all those in college but I never understood until I actually went through it,” she said with emphasis in her tone.

Probate Judge Matthew Puskarich said he is very proud of the two for what they have

endured and the way they’ve come out of it. Chris and Melissa are the second couple to graduate from the Court after the first two earlier this year.

Puskarich said they are certified by the Ohio Supreme Court and funded by a grant from the Belmont, Harrison and Monroe Mental Health Recovery Board.

The program is designed to get parents reunited with their children as quickly as possible where barriers to rehabilitation are removed, and where trust is designed to build between the parents and the court. Puskarich said the couple took to the program immediately where he was impressed with their efforts in reaching out to others in the program, all on their own. He said participants can go anywhere for treatment but the Village Network are the ones who advise the Court as the treatment team.

“I’m very proud of these two, they did amazing work to get to where they are now,” Puskarich said.
