CADIZ – The anticipated work on the village’s water plant is to begin in January, according to Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski. His report was heard at last Thursday’s council meeting where the consulting firm CT Consultants has given approval to contractor Kirk Brothers, to begin ordering the equipment needed.

Andrzejewski said later this week that the project is to solve two objectives: One is for satisfying the water demand in case the power plant ever makes it to Cadiz. The second reason is to satisfy EPA violations that were handed down over the past several years.

Andrzejewski said the plant was proceeding as the engineering firm, CT Consultants had formally given approval to contractor Kirk Bros. to order necessary equipment.

“We’re on track to start in January,” Andrzejewski said. He added that is also good concerning finances because the village would not owe any loan payments until 2021. Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros said a “small strip of property” near the inactive water tower on Industrial Park Road the village was after, had finally been secured. Mayor John Migliore called it great news as Mastros, in connecting with easement talk, told

much compared to the rest of the state but for a small county, it is a lot and it continues to grow. In all of Ohio the fatality ratio has grown farther away from the national ratio as it’s climbed back to 4.7 after it had dropped below 3.0. What is shocking is that the fatality ratio in Ohio was just 2.5 percent only two weeks ago. For the United States, the number remains fairly low at 2.4 percent.

At Thursday’s commissioner’s meeting Rhome stated that there are now a total of 129 cases with 40 being active, the most since they began collecting the numbers. Cases recovered he said were now 85, which is a gain of nine since last week.

Rhome stated that in Region 5, a

Water plant to begin in January, village approved for grant

By JD LONG

Six years ago, former NFL fullback Michael Zordich found himself on a ranch somewhere in Harrison County determined to reinvent himself.

During his first play in the NFL, a torn ACL turned into a career-ending injury that left him reeling. As a Youngstown native and Penn State graduate, Zordich teased through the years that he would become a ranch hand during the off-season; however, a late-night google search post injury led him to Ohio Land and Cattle.

After a brief phone call with owner James Coffelt, Zordich packed a bag and met Coffelt on the ranch the next day at sunrise.

“It was something I always joked about with my friends, you know — I thought it would be a cool thing to do. But once I got done playing and started interviewing for other jobs, I realized an office setting wouldn’t be a good fit. I asked myself, ‘Why not just go for it?’ said Zordich, “I called James, he told me to show up at daylight and that was history.”

Zordich worked for Ohio Land and Cattle while periodically transferring to other ranches to diversify his understanding of the trade. He spent a summer on Darol Dickerson’s longhorn ranch in Barnesville, too, and over the course of these experiences, he began to see a common gap in the process: the availability of butchers.

CADIZ – Rumors of the Coronavirus dissipating or just magically disappearing now that the election is over, is not happening.

Hospitals in some areas of the country are being over run as cases spike upward as they have in Harrison County.

Health experts along with Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome’s weekly advice is apparently going unheeded as he revealed that 24 new COVID cases (105 to 129) since last week’s county commissioner’s meeting have surfaced. That makes 40 in two weeks and nearly 50 in the past three.

Those numbers may not seem like

council they were down to just a “handful” of easements to secure.

Regarding the power plant, there is no word on any movement but two sources said to possibly expect something in 2021. They also said it in a manner that shouldn’t be taken with any more significance than past information that’s been handed down.

A message sent to the Harrison County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen went unanswered.

Regarding work on the south and center collection lines, Andrzejewski said good news came from the state recently informing the village they would receive a $3.2 million grant.

“So that combined with a couple of grants we’ve already been given will put the cost of that project to fortyseven percent grants, fifty-three percent loans,” Andrzejewski explained. But he stressed to council the need to get permission from all the easements needed to be signed by residents in question. He voiced concern over state officials coming back with technicalities further delaying the process or, even pulling the plug on the grant.

Andrzejewski said that meetings have continued with the software company installing their new billcollection system. He said he anticipated having that new software

neighboring region to Harrison County’s Region 8, hospitalizations have gone from 273 to 491 in just two weeks.

ICU patients have jumped from 78 to 107. For Harrison County’s region hospitalizations went from 55 on Oct. 29 to 74 through Nov. 11 and ICU patients jumped from three to a whopping 26 in that same time period.

Rhome also talked of the positivity rate, which the daily number has skyrocketed to 12 percent (on Nov. 9) and the seven-day average is up to 10 percent. He said he hasn’t seen those numbers since late April.

Rhome also commented on Governor Mike DeWine’s recent press conference stating there would be a new mask order but said nothing is official as of yet.

“There’s going to be a revised mask order, there’s going to be more pressure on businesses to enforce that mask order,” Rhome explained. “And there

will be a new what they’re calling, a new retail compliance unit made up of investigators from the bureau of worker’s compensation to respond to complaints…”

Rhome said he’s not sure what exactly is in that order but when Commissioner Paul Coffland said that to him, it sounded like the governor was going to “have people out looking,” Rhome agreed. He also said weddings and funerals and other large gatherings were more than likely going to be affected. He called the percent-positivity rate that’s risen in the state as “disturbing.”

“The amount of cases that we’ve taken on here in the last week or two has just really been dramatically more,” Rhome told the board. He again stressed these gatherings must stop when asked about common denominators contributing to the rise in cases. He said the big problem is just plain gatherings of large groups who are apparently not taking the COVID virus seriously. He wants people to just say no when invited to something that are going to attract large numbers.

“And again, have the capacity to say no when it comes to getting together…and have the courtesy to not put your friend or family in that position to have to say no,” Rhome explained. “Keep those circles smaller, smaller, smaller again because that’s where it’s coming from.”

Rhome also pleaded with people to pay attention to the symptoms, which include fever or chills, coughing, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, congestion, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea.

Talk also veered towards businesses and whether employees are wearing masks, which some are not. He said they do receive complaints and practice enforcement as much as possible but in the end it’s up to the public to comply.

Commissioner Don Bethel stated it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility that the county is on their way to a Red level rating and asked what would happen then. Rhome said as of now there are “no additional

order or requirements” for businesses or residents, or any agencies when it’s a level Red. He said it was only an indication, an alert for people to buckle down extra hard and abide by the health expert’s recommendations. “…You need to do something different or something better to slow the spread in your community, either for yourself or for your loved ones,” Rhome said of the higher level.

Rhome said later via email that the county will remain at the Orange level where he feared it might rise to Red but wouldn’t know until later in the day.

Rhome said a level of Red would affect the schools first because it would probably set a chain reaction of changes throughout the community.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey, in his Tuesday court session this week said if the county went to Red and the school shut down, he would follow suit.

“And I think that’s an appropriate choice,” he said of the school’s possible reaction because “they’ve tied their plans to those levels.”

McCann was requesting the 2-way stop at the intersection of S. Ohio and South Street be changed into a 4-way stop. Council Member Eric Miller’s motion to approve Costa for drawing up an ordinance was

approved.

Council Member John Vermillion sent out thanks to the voters who supported the Silver Spade Ambulance District (SSAD), which passed by 256 votes.

“It’s going to be a huge

thing for the village,” he stated, which the SSAD will cover Cadiz Township as part of their coverage. The Harrison Community Hospital will remain as a backup service per their contract with the county.

Freeport Council to purchase township garage FREEPORT - Freeport Council met Nov. 11 at town hall when town Solicitor Brett Hillyer brought the resolution to authorize the village to accept and sign to purchase the former township garage building for $10,000.

Several residents attended complaining of parked cars on Main Street, that you can not see coming out the alleys. Solicitor Brett Hillyer told the council that those cars are to be moved within 72 hours.

Clerk-Treasurer Mary Lynn McBride got permission to reappropriate a resolution to move money from general fund to the water fund to pay bills for the rest of the year. McBride also reminds residents that when they get their January water bill it cannot be

OPENS From PG. 1

“Being at the ranch was cool because it was all a new learning experience for me,” noted Zordich. “I noticed it was a struggle for people to get their livestock slaughtered and processed. It always seemed like such a hassle...so I approached James and made a plan to learn how to cut so we could open our own shop — and James was all about it.”

For about two years following his ranching pursuits, Zordich split time between a custom slaughterhouse in Pennsylvania and a butcher shop in Youngstown.

“At the slaughterhouse we slaughtered, harvested, and broke down the entire animal into big pieces called primals. Then at the butcher shop we would get a shipment of primals and clean them up into nice cuts for people to buy. It was important to see both sides of butchering from the start of the process all the way to the chaos of the retail counter. It was a crash course for sure.”

In the process of beginning his own venture, Zordich discovered his grandpa was also a butcher by trade. For the sake of nostalgia (and a light jab at the high-end meat industry) he decided to base

the business name off of his grandpa’s shop.

Back in September, Zordich opened “Fancy Meats” exclusively to local farmers for custom meat orders.

The Cadiz butcher shop is fully equipped with a freezer for hanging carcasses, meat packaging machines and cutting tables.

Fancy Meats does not slaughter but focuses on preparing and packaging custom cuts. Currently, Zordich services only farmers but looks to expand quickly into retail by the first of the year. A childhood friend of Zordich, Greg DeNiro, will be partnering with Fancy Meats to sell specialty Italian food at that time. The family-owned quality foods company will supply Italian spices, cheeses and produce in the storefront as well.

“Right now the storefront isn't open to the public, as we only accept custom requests for cow or pig processing, but retail is a big focus of mine. Customers can expect fresh cuts out of the storefront and frozen meats like sausages, burgers and steaks, along with good Italian food pairings.”

Thanks to daily visits from a state health inspector and rigorous sanitation protocols, Zordich has landed a license allowing supply to grocery stores and restaurants.

Ranch to Table is one of the first to be stocked by Fancy Meats. In addition to the retail storefront, Zordich has big plans for the

future. Once the store is up and running, a slaughterhouse may be a coming addition along with subscription butcher boxes and a monthly farmer’s market held out front of the building during warmer months.

“Each morning we clean all surfaces, inspect the surfaces again, check the temperatures of the freezers, coolers and meat and track it all in a sanitation log. We keep thorough paperwork on where the meat is from, our processing and where it's going.

I’m excited to get the specifics rolling smoothly like this so we have fuel for the things we want to do in the future.”

Zordich attributes the success of his new venture to the simplicity of hard work he learned during his journey to the NFL. ‘I’d never done any of this before and I’m still learning--I’ll always be learning.

But motivation continues on and the ability to take criticism and adapt on the fly has been an important part of the process.”

Fancy Meats is located at 139 East Warren Street in Cadiz directly behind the Harrison News-Herald. Applications for meat cutters and counter workers able to identify cuts are welcomed.

COVID uptick affecting courts, Farnsworth trial date set

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Samuel Farnsworth, charged with murder (unclassified felony) and abuse of a corpse (F2) appearing via videoconference from Jefferson County on Tuesday, was told a bill of particulars had been turned in by the state but that they were still working on a police report from Belmont County. Common Pleas Judge T. Shawn Hervey announced the jury trial had been set for Jan. 25 at 9 a.m.

Hervey also cited what turned out to be a recurring theme in that several cases had to be floated out there with no real decisions being made. The rise in COVID cases hitting Ohio may affect how the courts do things but as of now, Hervey said no mandate had been sent down from the governor’s office but did leave it up to individual judges based on their COVID situations.

“The court has received correspondence from the state of Ohio concerning the recent COVID outbreak that…the legislature has not suspended speedy trial but individual judges based upon a status of COVID-Nineteen in their counties can make a decision to suspend speedy trials while this is going on,” Hervey explained.

Farnsworth said he had not received any charges from Belmont County as of yet (possible fleeing and alluding).

Hervey said that if the county went “Red” then he would probably suspend in-person hearings. Hervey set a pre-trial hearing for the first week of December.

It was a day of heavy hitters with Farnworth’s murder case followed by Nicholas McKenzie, 37 of Bowerston, facing a rape charge (F1) and a charge of gross sexual imposition (F3).

Hervey reminded him of the COVID problem and possible

hindrance of cases.

Another hindrance he noted was the changing of the guard between current Prosecutor Owen Beetham and Prosecutorelect, Lauren Knight. Hervey told several defendants he didn’t want to agree on certain things then have the new prosecutor come in and possibly change it.

Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese told the court he has reached out to Knight to aid her in the transition.

Knight later confirmed what was said in court that Beetham offered to resign early to allow Knight to take over but she asked for two weeks where she will be sworn in on Friday, Nov. 20 and takeover Monday, Nov. 23.

Hervey reminded McKenzie that his clock for speedy trial had stopped while he was being evaluated for competency to stand trial. He was told that is over now and the clock on his case began running again.

Hervey didn’t know whether his trial would proceed on Dec. 8 or that the state would make an offer by then. But the main holdup was the changing of prosecutors “and it doesn’t make sense to resolve your case short of having a new prosecutor tell us what she thinks.”

When McKenzie said he wouldn’t mind waiving his right to a speedy trial now his attorney, Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola said he couldn’t advise his client to do that right now, which stopped the proceedings. Pincola said he wants a hearing before jury notices are sent out.

McKenzie is being held on a $100,000 bond.

Cruise Bishop, 24, of Cadiz is charged with two counts of pandering obscenities involving a minor (F2 and F4). Judge Hervey revealed an Ohio Risk Assessment (ORAS) taken by Bishop resulted in him being a moderate risk. It was later revealed that the state had made

two offers for Bishop to consider: One was for three years in prison with an opportunity for judicial release after serving 18 months, plus Community Based Control (CBC) sanctions and also to finish the program at Easter Ohio Correction Center (EOCC). The second offer was to serve three years but judicial release after two years and no CBC or EOCC. Hervey reminded Bishop that he could get eights years in prison if convicted at trial. After the hearing broke so Pincola could speak with his client they returned rather hastily with Pincola stating that he could no longer work with Bishop, as he would not accept the state’s offer to resolve the case.

Pincola argued that it appeared “confusing” in the two charges and in interpreting the first count.

“I’m not saying I agree with what Count A is, I’m not saying what the law should be, I’m not saying there’s not some interpretation or it doesn’t seem to make sense, but the law is what it is and there’s nothing I can do about it,” Pincola told the court. He proceeded to tell the court that Bishop wasn’t accepting advice from him and that he requested to be removed from the case, which Hervey eventually granted.

“I don’t see a resolution at this time,” Pincola stated before Hervey turned to Bishop and allowed him to speak. Bishop’s mother, who was sitting in the back of the court had to be admonished by Hervey when she tried speaking on behalf of her son. After Bishop said he could work with Pincola nothing had changed and Hervey granted the request based on “sufficient evidence.”

Commissioners sign two agreements

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison County Commissioners held their weekly meeting on Thursday because of Veteran’s Day and signed two agreements.

The first involves ODOT and the agreement (57-20) is part of the LPA Federal Local-Let Project Agreement concerning ODOT being designated as “the agency in Ohio to administer FHWA’s Federal funding programs.”

This agreement allows ODOT to enter into agreements with “other public appropriate

authorities to administer the design, qualification of bidders, competitive bid letting, construction, inspection and acceptance of any project administered by ODOT.” Harrison County Engineer Doug Bachman said it allowed his office to access a $300,000 grant “to install guardrail on various roads in the county.”

The second agreement (5820) is for submitting a proposal by the engineer’s office concerning the proposed Harrison County office expansion at the County Garage.

Look at the Past A look back at the Sam Hedges house

The Sam Hedges house at the corner of "the brick road" (E Market St) and "Wellsburg Rd" (Charleston St.) that was demolished this past week. Sam Hedges is in his sleigh. In the 1921 Directory of Cadiz, Ohio S.B. Hedges's occupation was "farming interest". The ground is now part of the Clark Gable Museum property. Soon folks will forget that it as ever there. Picture from the Harrison County Historical Society.

American Legion Post 396 offered a soup and sandwich luncheon for all veterans and it was nice that they were active in this most notable holiday.

I think that music is as big a part of military history and public programs as anything. I always liked "You're a Grand Old Flag" when we sang it at school. Students would stand up and march in place and wave our right arm as if waving a flag.

Okay, I can hear some snickers right now but it was fun and provided a little of exercise on days when we couldn't go outside and run off energy. The American Legion magazine, one I grab before Lamont gets it, okay, it's a COVID stay-athome thing and I love reading anything in sight, had a story on military music. It seems that the "Marines Hymn" is the oldest and perhaps. Best-known U.S. service anthem. During WWI Marines sang their hymn as they charged into battle. In 1929, Marine Corps commandant Wendell C. Neville required that all Marines not in formation or part of a ceremony stand at attention face the music and sing the words of the "The Marines Hymn." It was then made the branch’s official musical emblem. After WWII, Marines developed the tradition of standing at attention when the song aired.

This is late but I enjoyed the fact that Cadiz Legion Post 34 paid tribute to Bill Mazeroski on his winning home, run in Game 7 of the World Series to win the game. This was Oct. 13, 1960, and I was at work, listening intently on the radio, and when the ball went out of sight I let out a scream that scared everybody in the office.

He was a Warren Consolidated High School athlete and Lamont played basketball against the team and "Maz" during that time. How time does fly.

Rev. Ruby welcomed Don and Mary Whipkey home from vacation. Mary is a former Smithfield resident. She lived across the street from my inlaws, along with her sister, Dorothy; and brother, Tom..

Hope your vacation was a good one Whipkey people.

The Jefferson County Vocational School culinary arts department is making pumpkin rolls as part of their cooking and baking labs. I can't think of anything more interesting, and yummy. They cook to provide lunch for the staff with the restaurant open from 10:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a hot meal on

They are: Olivia Prolago, swine; Allison Bell, horse; Kaydence Kinyo, dog and goat; Conner Best, poultry; Cole Saiter, sheep; and Cameron Best, beef. Hayden Johnson was the recipient of a college scholarship for his work in 4-H..It takes much work to get this type of award.

By Ina Marks I received this letter from David and Kathy Norris. It says.

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ! We hope this letter finds you all safe. We are surely in different and difficult times. We miss seeing you all at our dinners and can’t wait till we feel we can resume them safely.

Some of you have asked about the Christmas for the kids. We originally felt that there was no way we could do it this year.

However, after many conservations with a lot of different folks, the consensus seems to be that with the tomes we are in, the children could probably use our gifts more than ever. So, with God’s help, we are going to attempt it. We may not be able to do as many children as before, or perhaps not give each child as much as we did before due to shopping circumstances changing, or monetary circumstances changing, but we are going to do as much as we can for as many as we can. This letter is however, just like the free will offering we have at our October dinners. If you can help monetarily, Great! If you can’t, this letter is to ask You to pray for all of us and our endeavor to help these children! Even Greater. Thank You for your time, your efforts and your prayers. Always your friends, Dave and Kathy Norris. Jesus said, In the world, there will be great tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world. Your faith is far greater than any of your fears. Be Safe and God Bless all of you.

JEWETT/CADIZ

By Ruby Foutz Congratulations to all winners in the General Election. Please remove all posted election signs along the road. Do we have a new President or not? That is an important question. The Board of Elections would like to thank all the voters that sent thank you cards or called and thanked everyone for their hard work at making the election successful. Thank you to the poll workers at each of the 16 precincts for their help.

Tappan Marina is ready for construction.

The whole

Tappan Lake area is just beautiful driving by or packing a picnic lunch in the summer or maybe ice fishing. Harrison is loaded with places for viewing or tourism.

I was surprised to hear that Christopher Springs had run dry. Me and others, I am sure did not think that could ever happen. So many people stop and use that spring. Thank you to Emily Wagner the owner for allowing that to be used for so many years. We sure miss the late Tony Petrangelo who used to love doing landscaping of flowers there and at the courthouse.

The Division of Wildlife is asking your cooperation as hunters to help in monitoring the deer herd. For more information visit wildohio.gov or you can call 1-800-9453543.

Prayers and get well wishes to Penny White, Louise Frontz, Shirley Rogers, Merle Foutz, and all others that are embarrassed or afraid to ask for prayers but could use them.

God bless you all.

Happy Birthday and many more to Raymond Everhart, Janis Moore BainbridgeMickey, Dawn Dutton Goolsby, our Christian friend Bob Hilbert, Jeff Bardall, Jerry Little, Tim Dunfee, Gertrude Patton and Merle Foutz.

Board of Education cites healthy financial report

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The Harrison Hills City School District is sitting in good financial condition per the financial report through the month of September. Their initial cash sits at $33.1 million through September, it was revealed at last month’s board meeting.

The month-to-date (MTD) balance shows $6,761,000-plus with a fiscal year-to-date (FYTD) sum of more than $8.6 million.

For MTD expenses more than $1.7 million is shown with just over $4.9 million for FYTD expended. A fund balance of $36.9 million with an encumbrance of $1,018-plus is shown and an unencumbered figure of $35.9 million.

Other figures show the general fund budget reserve of $151,803 and funds set aside for capital improvements is, $701,471 and the Harrison Central Elementary principal’s fund is at $29,685. In some of the other items in the report initial cash for their food program was, $8,793 with FYTD PHOTO BY | ED BANKS

received at $6,680 and a fund balance of $15,473. The unencumbered balance is slightly less.

For the multi system youth FCSS mini-grant, it shows $11,088 with FYTD expenditures of $26,033.

Also, initial cash rounded off for medical self-insurance ($1.5 million); classroom facilities ($1.2 million); capital projects ($1.7 million); capital improvement athletic facilities ($7.5 million).

Others are the Student Wellness Foundation ($440,405); Help Me Grow ($35,363) and the Harrison Central Band ($8,835) are just some of the numerous figures in the report. The grand total for the initial cash balance was $57,986,274 with $7.9 million MTD received and $10.9 million in FYTD received.

For expenditures, the report shows more than $2.4 million for MTD and $6.8 million for FTYD received for a fund balance total of $62,074,700 and an unencumbered balance of $55,611,934.

In a bar graph comparison, the 2019 third quarter general fund cash balance (GFCB) grew from

over $20 million in July, holding steady through August then jumped in September to over $25 million. For the 2020 third quarter the GFCB saw little movement where it began just over $30 million and reached just short of $35 million in September. For this third quarter the GFCB saw that hold over $30 million and spike to well over $35 million in September.

When it comes to general fund revenue both July and August for all three years saw it remain well under $2 million but spiked heavily for September at $6 million or more. As far as expenditures for those years, July saw it around $1.5 million or slightly less. August was the same except for 2021 when spending hit well above $1.5 million. But for September in all three years saw that figure remain above $1.5 million to nearly $2 million in 2020.

This is just to give some kind of idea of what the Harrison Hills City School District deals with covering just a relatively few items as the report is 20 pages long covering various angles.

Mitchell signs with Akron University HC Principal’s List & Honor Roll, 1st 9 weeks

On Wednesday, Harrison Central’s talented three-sport athlete Kobe Mitchell signed his letter of commitment to attend Akron University and play basketball. Although Mitchell is also a four-year letterman in both football and baseball, his committment to Akron was made because of his desire to play the sport that he loved best. Another perk from the Akron offer, is that it represents a Division-I NCAA opportunity for Mitchell, thus making it his crowning achievement. Signing with Akron also means that he has turned down other Division-II offers in the sport. Mitchell was applauded by his family and family, his coaches and fans for making the choice to become a “Zip”.

Above, Mitchell is flanked by his parents Tonya and Dewayne Mitchell, as he signs his commitment to attend Akron University and enter the basketball program.

FREEPORT – The Lakeland Academy held their October meeting Wednesday evening and as usual, Assistant Treasurer Ethan Tice provided a financial report for the month of October. The month-to-date (MTD) receipts were slightly higher due to Fulltime Equivalent (FTE) based on last year’s enrollment and since they have 10 more students “we’re finally seeing the benefits of that on the financial side of things.”

Some of the MTD expenditures included such items as their water bill, which came to $76; a financial audit of $1,800; sponsor fees of $1,464.65; monthly rent of $3,417; reimbursement of real estate, $8,933.12; PK-3 teacher salary, $5,284.50; 6-8 teacher salary, $4,076.66; administrative assistant salary, $5,131.24 and superintendent salary, $7,366.24.

This brought the total expenditures for the month to $56,491.31.

Receipts for the month included property tax exemption, $8,933.12 and various foundation monies, $61,685.32 leaving a current fund balance of $176,137.12. Tice told the board their days, cash-on-hand jumped from 105.2 in September to 117.05 for October.

Tice provided some comments

on the audit, which he said was coming to an end. He said the results should be coming “soon.”

Also, Lake Erie West sponsor representative, Dr. Diane Longstreth informed the board that their planned monthly site visits would remain remote, as they are now for the “foreseeable future.” She said it was a decision based on the uptick in COVID cases around Ohio. She added that for their monthly financial spotchecks, they have seen no red flags.

Superintendent Scott Bardall announced the hiring of Brenda Brock as custodian. Bardall also sought approval for a Memorandum of Understanding between the Academy and The Village Network, a mental health organization.

“The Village Network is an agency that covers throughout the state but in our area they primarily cover Harrison, Belmont and Monroe County,” Bardall explained. He said if a student is identified as needing counseling where the agency deals with “Medicaid situations,” but they can also come to the school and meet with the student, per parental permission. He said there was no cost to the school for the service and Bardall’s recommendations were approved.

Also, Bardall said their second round of STAR diagnostic testing

has begun and would last a few days. The first round was completed in September. He also gave a COVID update on what-ifs stating that if one student becomes positive the school would go remote within 24 hours of that information.

“Anyone K-through-eight, we would probably go fully remote at that time because those kids again, because of close proximity…we’re not really in an ideal situation to go hybrid…” Bardall told the board. He added that after communicating with the health department, they are also prepared to go remote at Thanksgiving until Jan. 4. He said they were taking every precaution recommended by the local health department, as well as from the state level.

“Families are going to travel over Thanksgiving. We have fourteen school days between Thanksgiving and Christmas break,” he said based on information from the state that if one leaves Ohio and returns, they must self-quarantine for 14 days.

“That would essentially nullify the time that they would be in school between Thanksgiving and Christmas break,” Bardall said.

Community spread is a major concern right now but noted they have been fortunate so far, in no one being diagnosed with COVID.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - In an effort to meet the area's need for skilled, licensed commercial drivers, Belmont College is now offering its Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program at their Main Campus location in St. Clairsville, Ohio The College is pleased to announce that they have formed a partnership with OV Truck Driving School.

Good News

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

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Ok, let’s be honest. We’ve all done it. Whether it was in high school or even as adults, we see a dating or married couple and we say, “How did he get her?” or vice/versa “How did she get him?” “I don’t get it, I’m just not seein’ it.” Our befuddlement is usually based on the attractiveness, personality, education etc. of one person not matching the other.

As teenagers, my pals and I would always questioned the eyesight of the girl or wondered if she took in stray puppies as a child.

Have you ever wondered if the angels in heaven look at God in all His splendor seated on the throne with His only son Jesus next to Him and then they look at humans and say, “I don’t get it, what does He see in them?”

King David wondered that aloud in Psalm 8, “What is man that you are mindful of him?”

Let’s face it, sometimes the pairings don’t match up the way we think they should, and for the sake of our salvation aren’t

you glad they don’t?

So how did we get from Genesis 6 where God says He regrets making man to John 15 where Jesus says, “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business.

Instead, I now call you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” We went from personas non grata to being trusted with the Master’s business and every bit of it was accomplished through what Jesus did on our behalf.

We didn’t have a thing to do with it. In 1 Corinthians 1:3031 Paul declares “But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written: “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

The scholarly type like to say that Jesus’ righteousness was “imputed” to us. That’s a heady word not many of us use

anymore but, as one fellow put it, “We were imputed by the one who got substituted and was willing to be executed.”

However you look at it, the human race is the recipient of the greatest gift ever given and the subject of the most lopsided trade in history; we got His righteousness and He got our sin.

But we only get that righteousness when we receive it as the gift that it is. It’s there waiting for every person on the planet to reach out and take it, God doesn’t force it on us.

Just like a wrapped gift that must be opened by the recipient, every person is responsible for accepting Jesus as Lord and gratefully wearing that robe of right standing given by the Heavenly Father through Jesus.

So, what does God see in us?

Plenty, when he sees one of His creation choosing to be made clean by the blood of His son.

Have you taken advantage of the gift that’s waiting for you?

Cadiz Lion’s Club participates in Toys for Tots

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

CADIZ - December will bring with it a completed Toys for Tots campaign by the Cadiz Lions Club and delivery to the Marines Corps from the Canton/Akron District on Dec. 1. Sam Bates, Cadiz Lions Club president and Toys for Tots chairman for the club and associated Lion districts, is relentless in getting Santa's bag full of toys for those who might not receive one and has been urging all Lions organizations in his territory and beyond to help make dreams come true.

Bates tells that Tommy Thompson of California knew the originator of the T4T campaign and was involved in the original toy collection plan.

Thompson was a Lions district governor and put the Cadiz members on to the wonderful "Dreams Come True" project for those who could do nothing but dream about Santa coming down their chimney.

"We were to collect new toys, stress that new ones, and Jim Thompson, a Marine, helped with the job of promoting the campaign far and near" he said.

Clubs from eight zones contributed so hopefully children would walk into the living room and see a present just for them under their tree, if a tree could be afforded."

The Marines Corps wraps the toys so there is excitement in unfurling the colorful paper to see what is inside.

Bates has been going out to clubs to stress the need for a merry Christmas for children who still believe that Santa is real. He attended the Zone 7 District meeting in late summer, showing off some old toys of his own. There was one of the older teddy bears with movable body parts; a truck, made of metal, that came along before the

Buddy L versions and some tracks from a railroad set given to a son one Christmas years ago.

Sam was left with the tracks but the engine and cars went with his son when he took up his own residence.

The toy collection is a continuous project with Bates as Cadiz president but that office will be up for election the next year on June 30. He has been a Lions member since 1965, when his dad a charter member since 1940, urged him to attend a meeting. Lo and behold, Sam found that his dad had paid his dues and he was a certified member. "It was a tricky way to get me to be a member. He knew I wouldn't refuse in front of all his friends but I enjoy it thoroughly". He has now been a Cadiz Lion since 2015 and his wife, Carole, joins him in the organization. They had been having pancake breakfasts at the Wallace Lodge, with John Tabacchi manning the sausage griddle for the event. It cannot be held now due to the pandemic but members are

itching to be back flipping pancakes, frying sausage patties, making huge amounts of coffee and serving orange juice to the youngsters.

The club had been involved in the job of doing sight checks on school children, owning a piece of equipment that other clubs in the area used as well. This year they turned the equipment over to the Harrison Hills School District to conduct the eye tests.

But sight is one of their most important projects. They buy eye glasses for those who cannot afford them and work for healthy eyes.

Bates has been going out to clubs to ask, maybe plead, for donations to the Toys for Tots. It can be monetary or actual toys and they will make their way to the Canton-Akron Marine Corps to eventually make their way to Santa to deliver on Dec. 24. It could be said that he is a dedicated "Santa Helper" towards a happy Christmas for youngsters.

November meeting, the group unanimously agreed to cancel the event altogether this year.

In other business, Treasurer Kim Willoughby reported that $1,250 had been received in pledges and donations for the digital sign project. A lengthy discussion took place regarding this project, and the group agreed to proceed with more research and fund raising efforts.

In other discussion, Willoughby reported the

expenditure of $178.55 for new bulbs for Christmas decorations.

The group approved and agreed they would like to see the lights up and ready to be lit just after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Lastly, the possibility of meeting remotely via messenger was discussed as an option for conducting business, should it become necessary in the near future. This avenue will be explored further and tested prior to the December meeting.

Scio complaints and improvements continue

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE

SCIO - Complaints of close calls on College Street continue to arise before the village council. Multiple instances of reckless drivers and blind spots from parked vehicles are reported from concerned citizens and package delivery drivers. Scio council has taken the first step to install extra signage and a fisheye mirror for improved visibility but residents who

Farm Bureau introduces new members

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

CADIZ - The Harrison County Farm Bureau group met for their annual meeting at the county fairgrounds with members remaining in their car for the program broadcast over the radio in early autumn.

Outgoing president John Seleski served as MC. Two important members of the combined four-county

group were introduced. Jennifer Grisby, a new addition to the organization office, who handles the works of the Harrison and Jefferson counties; and Carol Huffman who handles Tuscarawas and Carroll counties. Huffman has been a part of the President's Trip to Washington DC for many years and is the go-to person when there are unanswered questions that need answered.

Either employee can be

reached at the Tuscarawas office phone number of 330-3397211. The e-mail for the Jefferson County business is jefferson@ofbf.org.

Seleski, outgoing president, at the drive-in meeting, where there were almost 20 cars with members inside listening, said that Huffman was someone to go to when they needed big answers. An address for the office is 2146 E. High Street, New Philadelphia.

Sam Bates, Cadiz Lions president and Toys 4 Toys chairman for the District and beyond, is surrounded by Toys for Tots to be delivered to children who might be disappointed on Christmas day otherwise. He mas making an all-out drive to have new toys delivered to the Cadiz Lions before Dec. 1. Monetary donations can be made and the Canton-Akron Marine Corps twill wrap them and distributed to many areas. Pictured is Sam's teddy bear that is quite old but still huggable.

Bowerston Community Women’s Club cancel’s Christmas event

BOWERSTON – At the November meeting of the Bowerston Community Women’s Club the group decided to cancel the annual Christmas in the Park event.

The Village’s Christmas in the Park is normally held at the community park building but at the October meeting the Club had discussed the possibility of hosting a “drive thru” alternative, due to Covid-19.

After a discussion at the

frequent College Street are yet to be appeased.

Two houses on West College Street are posing issues for the water project.

One home, which has never had a water meter, has not yet allowed village employees to install a new meter to bring the property up to code. And, a house in close proximity to the unmetered property has reportedly been stealing water without consequence from the unmetered property as the village has no way of tracking usage.

The Village Administrator Jake Tubaugh has been encouraging council to consider the losses in revenue from unmetered houses and leakage. With the issues mentioned above, new billing systems and leak detection equipment “are paramount to ensure the village is aware of water production versus water sales...[New billing and leak detection] will allow the village to capture loss at either juncture and potentially increase

village revenue and decrease expenses while not increasing rates.”

In terms of improvement, the OPWC grant was submitted on Oct. 29, and pending approval, will cover the project that includes Brown, Walnut, Maple and Grandview Streets. Grant resubmission for the updating of the clarifier at the water treatment plant will not be done until February 2021 with notification of funding expected in April of that year. The inner paddle wheel of the clarifier needs immediate work done to remain in service. The October EColi water sample was failed to be collected and Scio anticipates a letter of violation from the OEPA. The new village truck was picked up on Oct. 30 and the new decontamination system was to be installed last week, both thanks to CARES Act funding. The village received 44.5 tons of salt to add to their winter stockpile, now up to 115 tons on hand for the season.

From left, Jennifer Grisby is the secretary and lady with the answers for both the Harrison and Jefferson County Farm Bureau members and officers. She has been located at the office in Tuscarawas County since late summer. Carol Huffman has been the secretary and lady in charge of the bigger problems for well over 20 years. She attended the President's Washington trips for the Carroll and Tuscarawas counties many times. The telephone number for calling any of the counties is 330-339-7211.

USA sees influx in female students SALINEVILLE-The number of students has grown in the Utica Shale Academy, which is also seeing an influx among female participants.

Superintendent Bill Watson said the community school, which is housed at Southern Local High School in Salineville, presently has 80 students in grades 9-12. Of them, more than a half-dozen are females who take part in blended learning and are involved in welding and industrial maintenance classes in partnership with the New Castle School of Trades in East Liverpool.

“We’re getting more questions [from females],” he said. “As technology comes into industry, the industry is changing and maybe at one time there were certain biases where male jobs were for males and female jobs were for females. Now we’re finding all gender biases really don’t have a place there who can do the jobs. We have eight females this year but only one last year.”

Several of the pupils said they enjoy learning the trades and hope to join the workforce.

Junior Emily Crawford was inspired to join by her friends and said she has liked the experience.

“I’ve seen all my friends go into welding,” she said. “Now that I’m able to do it, I think I’m going to stick to it and see where it will go.”

Crawford added that she may go into the welding field and make a great living for herself.

“It makes a lot of money and is something I can easily do.

There are other females in there with me and it feels good.”

Classmate Macenzie Boyd, who is also a junior, is enrolled in the industrial maintenance program at NCST and said it comes easily to her since she enjoys fixing things.

Emily Crawford, a junior in the Utica Shale Academy at Southern Local High School, takes part in the welding program at New Castle School of Trades and is among a growing number of females in the community school. Officials said more than a half-dozen participants are girls who want to seek careers in the trades.

“I like to be able to do more than just one thing at a time and I like having different things to do,” she quipped. “Mr. Watson explained that industrial maintenance was better because you always do something different. You work with electrical, pumps and plumbing and I’m interested in electrical and lights.”

Boyd said she stands out and hopes to obtain an associate degree and work in that field.

“Being a girl, I’d like to prove I can do anything a guy can do and I think more girls can do this.”

Additionally, USA and SLHS teamed up for a $200,000 Equity and Education grant through the Ohio Department of Education and received funding this summer to train pupils on six Industry 4.0 building blocks including industrial success skills, industrial equipment and technology, smart sensors and devices, control systems, internet protocol and informactionable data.

Southern Local will administer the funding and Watson said it is considered a foreign language class because it primarily uses computer programming, while Southern students may take the class as an elective. Some of the funding was used to hire instructor Matt Gates to lead the program. USA students take the class during the first half of

the day with Southern students participating during the second half. The entire curriculum is online plus there is a hands-on component, but the Watson said the latter would be dealt with accordingly should schools close again due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Through their participation in USA and NCST, students may obtain industry credentials and certification as well as a possible associate’s degree by the time they graduate high school so they may move on to trade schools or even the workforce with an even greater advantage.

As the use of technology increases in the workforce, having such knowledge is a major plus for incoming workers.

The Utica Shale Academy, which is now in its seventh year, provides curricula for grades 912 that are required by the Ohio Department of Education, including a customizable digital curriculum allowing for acceleration or remediation along with flexible scheduling and safety certification courses.

Graduates receive a high school diploma, certificates and college credit options offered through Eastern Gateway Community College. For more information about USA’s programs, contact Watson at 330-383-6575 or through the website at uticashaleschool.com.

Deadline for Submissions is Noon on Wednesdays Call 740.942.2118
