COVID cases jump to 42 more since last week, Governor orders curfew

By JD LONG

CADIZ – The spike in COVID-19 cases has certainly found Harrison County where cases have risen for the fourth consecutive week and by fairly large numbers when considering the size of the county. During the commissioner’s meeting Wednesday morning, Health Administrator Garen

Rhome announced 35 new cases since last week but on Thursday afternoon, nine more cases were reported by the end of Wednesday for an astounding total of 42 cases in one week.

Last week confirmed cases had jumped from 105 to 129 and now, Harrison County announced the count has risen from 129 to 164 (now 173).

Rhome also talked of Governor Mike DeWine’s recent orders with one being

a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. to last 21 days. He also noted the other two orders, the Enforcement Compliance of wearing masks in “retail locations” and the repeat order of prohibiting mass gatherings. He said nothing is in there that violates free speech or religious practices.

Rhome, reached Thursday said that Franklin County had just turned to level purple and is the first time a

county in Ohio has reached that level.

Harrison County remains at Level 2 (orange) as they tripped two of the seven indicators but they are not far off from Level 3 (red), which means tripping at least four (4 to 5) indicators.

One piece of good news is that out of the 35 cases only two are hospitalized as of now. Presumed recovered is at 108 and active cases now stand at 59, which is up from 40 last week. And the

recovered cases have improved by 23 from last week as well.

“We’re well over six hundred close contacts throughout, accumulative, throughout the pandemic,” Rome stated. “So well over six hundred folks in the county that have been either isolated or quarantined due to a positive or close contact throughout the

Preparing for the many enthusiastic youngsters receiving treats from the stations in the village of Adena are, left, Laura Konkoleski and Bev Lengyl, officers, in the Adena Lions Club. There were over 130 children who participated in the Halloween event.

Adena Lions Club holds Halloween candy walk

By ESTHER MCCOY ADENA - Halloween had a new meaning for the 130 or more children in their candy gathering celebration to circumvent the COVID 19 virus problem this year. The Adena Lions Club came up a Candy Walk that took the ghosts, dinosaurs, ballerinas and all types of Disney characters along safely numbered stations that were spaced on a one-way mapped route. This was in compliance with social distancing and to receive a treat at each spot. Families walked with their younger children and older ones wanted to hang out with their friends but they had to stay in the order of the tickets they had in hand. The

walk started at the St. Casimir Church on Hanna Avenue and turned onto Main Street.

The first treat station was sponsored by the Lions Club and participants received a treat bag and a map with with the names of all the station sponsors. Each child was given tickets that could be redeemed for tasty goodies at each stop. There was no cost to participate.

There were many sponsors from the area who helped with the cost of the happy event. Some Lion members were dressed for the night. Laura Konkoleski was in the lion costume she wears so realistically for parades and such and Rob Whinnery was a giant blue bunny.

The Adena Lions wants to thank the many

sponsors for the treat stations: Consumer's Bank, D&E Electric, Figgy's Fuel Mart, Hair Headquarters, Heritage Days group, James C. Dawes Co., Smithfield Township trustee John Sebring, L.A. Pizza, Adena Branch Library, Adena Police Department, American Legion, Post 525, American Legion Auxiliary Post 625, Sons of the American Legion, Woman's Club of Adena and the Village of Adena.

The Lion's group plans on holding the event again next year as it went so smoothly and was to the enjoyment of the children during the unsettling pandemic time. They seemed to enjoy staying in order to stop in and receive their treats from all of the stations. Whinnery is acting president at this time.

CADIZ – The Bar and Restaurant Assistance Fund (BRAF), as previously reported, has $37.5 million to “help those licensees significantly impacted by COVID-19 and limited in the full use of their liquor permit.” The program is run by the Ohio Development Services Agency and anyone can apply by going to: BusinessHelp.Ohio.Gov. Commissioner Paul Coffland on Wednesday noted that Gov. Mike DeWine, in his Nov. 12 press conference, mentioned Harrison County specifically as one that has been impacted by the pandemic. Bars and restaurants who are eligible can receive $2,500 from the assistance fund if qualified.

But it’s not just for bars and restaurants as Coffland noted.

“Up to fifty businesses in Harrison County are eligible,” Coffland said adding that $10,000 each is also available if qualified through the small business fund.

“It’s worth it, please…he said. He clarified that the funds are available to other businesses besides bars and restaurants, but any business that has 25 employees or less.

“We would certainly want to keep every dollar that we can in Harrison County for those businesses,” Coffland stated. “So we urge you to take the time [and] fill that out. It’s not a loan, it’s a grant and they’re going to give you ten thousand dollars.

You’re not going to have to pay it back.”

The Small Business Relief Grant is worth a total of $125 million and eligible businesses must be a forprofit entity and “earn at least 90% of annual revenue based on activities performed in and taxable to Ohio.” Some of the businesses not eligible are publicly traded, lobbying firms or adult entertainment establishments.

Also addressed under Purchase Orders and Vouchers, the County Home had one item tabled until the commissioners get an explanation on specific terms. The item dealt with plumbing work that had been completed but Commissioner Don Bethel said they were not questioning the amount, which came to $38,333. Coffland’s motion to approve all on the list except that item until they get “additional receipts,” was approved.

Rhome said hospitalizations throughout Ohio is up 900 and intensive care patients are up 248 with ventilator patients up 110. And Region 8 (11 counties), which Harrison County belongs to, those hospitalizations are up 33 with six ICU patients and two additional on ventilators in the

past week. He said hospitals are now reaching the point of being inundated with COVID patients.

Once again, Rhome stressed the public to stay away from large gatherings, which he mentioned birthday parties and weddings as an example. When asked he stated these are the reasons for the spike in COVID cases, as they discover information through contact tracing and they’re finding that people are just not adhering to these warnings.

“It’s going to take some personal impact into some people’s lives before they get it, or before they’re on board or, before they need to understand what they need to do,” Rhome explained. He emphasized the point for people to not wait till the virus becomes personal before practicing caution but to do it now.

“You’re not going to regret wearing a mask, you’re going to regret making your family sick…” Rhome said in relaying a quote. Rhome also talked of Gov. Mike DeWine’s recent

orders with the curfew being one. He said the order is not meant to prevent people from obtaining their basic needs such as, groceries, medical care, job responsibilities or even walking your dog.

“They’re really a different kind of appeal,” Rhome said of the governor’s orders. “That’s how I see them to another way to get that light bulb to come on over in somebody else’s mind.” He said it’s not difficult wearing a mask and to tell another person you won’t accept that invitation to come over, or better yet, just

don’t invite people to any large gathering.

Rhome said his staff is “very, very stressed” and have expanded their contact tracing capabilities and have hired several more staff members.

In the United States, as of Wednesday afternoon, the irony is that the death fatality ratio continues to drop and is now at 2.1 percent (New York Times), which is below the world level of 2.4 percent. The same can be seen in Ohio where the death ratio has dropped to 1.8 percent compared to Pennsylvania’s 3.3

percent and West Virginia’s 1.6 percent. Harrison County actually has a slightly higher ratio than the state of Ohio where it’s been thankfully stuck on four deaths out of 164 cases.

Other numbers provided by Rhome were hospitalizations at 22,846 and presumed recovered are 208,945. In cases relative to population, a rough estimate shows Harrison County sits at just under 1.1 percent when rounded out compared to Ohio, which sits at roughly 2.6 percent.

Clendening Lake drowning victims identified HARRISON COUNTy — Two hunters were last seen around 1 p.m. on security footage at Clendening Lake Marina on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020. They were

reported missing late Sunday night.

Search efforts began at approximately 3:30 a.m. for two men, both from Michigan, who

were in the area hunting. MWCD Rangers launched a boat and began the search by water, while Ohio State Highway Patrol assisted with the search by air. By daylight, search crews arrived on scene to assist with the search on land, on water, and by air.

Friends of the missing hunters arrived later in the day on Sunday and when they did not return to the cabin where they were staying, they called to report the hunters missing.

Agencies from around the region arrived on scene to assist with the search including: MWCD Rangers, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Harrison County Sheriff’s Department, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Bowerston, Freeport, Rush Township, Scio, and Washington Township Fire Departments. Perry Township Search and rescue arrived on scene with search dogs, and Dan Yoder and Family lead a search on horseback.

Initially, it was uncertain if the

men were missing on land, or if they had launched a boat to access an area across the lake. By 2 p.m., the bodies of both men were found near the shoreline. James “Bud” Miller, Jr. age 63 from Rives Junction, MI, and James McKibbin, age 43 from Parma, Mich., were recovered from Clendening Lake.

“Our sincere condolences go out to the families who lost their loved ones today,” said Craig Butler, Executive Director from MWCD. “Especially as we head into hunting season, we cannot stress enough that everyone exercise caution whether on land, or on the water. Let someone know where you are, whether your hiking or hunting, and always wear a life jacket when on the water.”

The investigation is ongoing and search crews will resume recovery efforts for the boat on Tuesday, November 17. According to Director of Marketing and Communications Adria Bergeron, the boat had still not been found.

Jones elected as Ohio Prosecutor Beetham pens resignation letter to commissioners House Majority Whip HARRISON COUNTY During last week’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting, Prosecuting Attorney, Owen Beetham announced that he’s stepping down from his role as prosecutor to better give incoming prosecutor Lauren Knight ample time to get a handle on the many pending cases. The letter as follows was read during the meeting.

Commissioners: As you know, there are many serious matters and criminal trials that will be upcoming immediately upon the beginning of the new prosecutors’s term that statutorily begins the first Monday in January. The newly elected prosecutor, Ms. Lauren Knight will need time to prepare for and attend to those and other important issues. To that end, I spoke with Ms. Knight and indicated that I am willing to work with her to move up that transition in order to give her time to prepare for those cases--and hit the ground running so to speak. She indicated that she would like to transition on November 23,2020. And therefore I am announcing my resignation effective November 23, 2020.

I feel strongly that this is necessary to ensure the smooth transition of the office. In the past few months,

we have faced unprecedented challenges--and in that short time adjusted to change not only the very nature of the way that we live but also the way that our public offices and the justice system itself works.

And I don’t want to stand in the way of my successor continuing the great legacy of success that we have created. I understand the difficulties of taking office--perhaps more so than others. Prior to my election, I had handled thousands of criminal cases and hundreds of civil matters; Ms. Knight doesn’t have the same background--and that’s okay. Like everyone, I too want her to build upon and continue our great success.

When I took office, my predecessor was bitter and tried to stay in office longer than he was statutorily permitted, shredded files, and left the office in shambles with an upcoming murder trial scheduled on what he thought was the eve of the commencement of my term.

He was wrong; and we persevered. And we have had many great successes over the past six years. During my time in office, I assembled the most experienced prosecutor’s office in the history of Harrison County. We doubled the percentage of felony cases that resulted in prison or EOCC sentences, tripled the daily jail

population, utilized new and unique drug treatment programs, modernized and computerized the office, authored countless legal opinions, and handled some of the biggest civil matters and public projects since the founding of our county. And I couldn’t have done it without my great staff--Bernie Battistel, Jeff Bruzzese, Jack Felgenhauer, Jessica Norris, and Katie Skinner.

So I have begun the orderly transition for my successor in order to facilitate that continued success. Over the next few days, we will finalize the organization of the transition.

And one component that will make the transition even more seamless (and that I am particularly proud of ) is the adoption of a computerized case management software that links the Sheriff 's Office and the Cadiz Police Department and the Prosecutor’s Office and saves and organizes all of our cases electronically. We have compiled a list of the pending criminal and civil cases and matters, a list upcoming pretrial and trial dates, and prepared a 50 page operational manual. Ms. Knight knows where to find me, should she have any questions.

Lastly, I want to thank you for your support. It has been a privilege and honor serving

you and working with each of you. It was your support that made it possible for me to move from my very successful private law practice to serve Harrison County. I took a cut in pay and time away from my family to do something I believe in--that we should all believe in--serving the people of Harrison County. And I would do it again; there’s no doubt about that.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t express how blessed I have been--as only a few people have--to help shape the criminal justice system and Harrison County Government for the better. I remain convinced that public service is our highest calling. And I urge every citizen of Harrison County to participate in the political process of selecting our elected public servants.

We need your conviction and idealism in our community. I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future in other capacities as we continue to work to make Harrison County a great place to call home. God bless you, and God bless Harrison County.

Sincerely, T. Owen Beetham

JEWETT – All area towns are or will be feeling the COVID effects at tax collection time as jobs fall by the wayside, or businesses shutdown or close early. Jewett revealed through their Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) report Wednesday evening, that there was a 9 percent decrease in October compared to last year.

Clerk of Water and Public Affairs Rhonda Harris said that amounted to around $4,200.

And she said that so far for the month of November, the decrease compared to last year was about $5,600.

For the year to date, she said the village had collected a little over $43,300. Also, regarding the shut-off list there were 14 names listed but they still had untill that Friday to come in and pay.

Also, Mayor Dwight Busby said he’d like approval to order more signs in a part of town truck drivers have torn up. He didn’t sound pleased when speaking of some of the driver’s habits.

Council also gave some thanks for a few well done jobs as Council Member Rick Meneely

thanked the county for “taking care of that guardrail” at the end of town. He also appreciated the spillway being cleaned out at the west end of the town, a project he’d been pushing for over a year.

“Appreciate their help,” he told council. He pointed out Kristy Dickey, Harrison County Soil & Water Specialist as helping with the spillway.

Council Member Paul Prevot, unable to attend the meeting, was heard via teleconference regarding their citizen of the year award. The discussion became lengthy and Prevot tossed around various reasons for nominating certain people compared to what they’ve done in the past.

He said one he had nominated at last month’s meeting he wasn’t comfortable with because it encompassed more of the county instead of Jewett, which is what it was intended to do.

“I’m trying to determine what the citizen of the year really is,” he told council. He described examples of people he admires who have done things for Jewett but do not live inside the village but didn’t want to exclude them either. Other examples were of another person who also did work for the village but was paid

to do so.

“So I didn’t feel great about those two nominees,” he said when the rest of council voted.

He nominated another candidate that did not get nominated by council, which led to a discussion on changing the nominees.

“But, I think the citizen of the year should be someone that does things for the village, or has tried to make the village better,” Prevot explained, which led him to seek the nomination for Council Member Ruth Blackburn. They all agreed that she had been doing things for the village before becoming a council member.

“And I don’t know if you guys know this but she spent weeks landscaping in front of the school,” he said. “She went around mowing yards for people and cleaning up…” He also spoke of her work at the park in landscaping and painting, as well.

“I mean she spent her whole summer trying to make Jewett look better,” he said adding that she also tried getting other people involved. Mayor Dwight Busby said he agreed with everything except for a few details when talking of another person who had been discussed.

Council Member Bo Bailey said he agreed the award should be for the village of Jewett but also for people who have done work for the village, but not necessarily live there. Prevot said he couldn’t say anything about Blackburn at the last meeting because she was sitting next to him but Wednesday, she was not present and he finally got to tell council how he felt.

Council decided, considering that no one had been notified of anything, with Meneely’s motion, to re-nominate and revote for Blackburn for citizen of the year.

Chairman of the committee since the beginning of the 133rd General Assembly.

Before being elected to office in 2018, Jones was an agricultural sciences teacher at Harrison Hills City Schools for 23 years.

Additionally, other members of the House Leadership were elected: - Speaker: Bob Cupp (RLima) - Speaker Pro Tempore: Tim Ginter (R-Salem) - Majority Floor Leader: Bill Seitz (R-Green Township) - Assistant Majority Floor Leader: Rick Carfagna (RGenoa Township) - Assistant Majority Whip: Cindy Abrams (R-Harrison) Terms for the 134th General Assembly begin Jan. 1. Opening Day for the new General Assembly will be Monday, Jan. 4, 2021.

Thank You voters of Short Creek Township for passing 2 renewal levies this past election. We appreciate your support.

Good News

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

A Dozen Desires of Our Heavenly Father From the time we were born we have all had desires.

Followers of Jesus are told in scripture to let their requests be made known to God. But have you ever thought about God having desires? He does, and they are all for our benefit. So, here are a dozen desires of our Heavenly Father, it’s not all of them but a dozen is a good start. #1 He desires for us to have eternal life. Jesus said in John 6:40 “My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life.” Everyone means everyone. God is good. #2 God desires worshipers in Spirit & in Truth. Jesus said in John 4:23 “A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.”

Imagine, the God of heaven is seeking you and me. #3 God desires that we would follow Him. When the rich, young ruler asked Jesus what he had to do to have eternal life the key part of the Lord’s answer was to “Come and follow me”.

Jesus wasn’t asking for a halfbaked, lukewarm following but one that was every bit worthy of who He is. #4 God desires that we honor Jesus. Our Heavenly Father desires that we give the same honor to Jesus that He has given Him. Jesus said in John 5:23 that all judgement has been entrusted to the Son so that we will honor the Son like we honor the Father. #5 God desires that we would know that He is good. In case there was any doubt, Jesus gave us Matt.7:9-11 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” It’s in His DNA, God is good.

#6 God desires that we would ask. Don’t be bashful, go ahead and ask. Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” #7 God desires that we would not worry. Sermon on the Mount 101, “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat, drink or wear?’ Pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” #8 He desires that we would be pure (holy). Here’s what Paul told the Thessalonians “this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality.”

‘Nuff said? #9 God desires to look for us when we wander. He looked for Adam & Eve in the garden and Jesus said he leaves 99 to go look for one that wanders and rejoices when he finds that wanderer. If you have wandered off…the Father is looking for you. #10 He desires that we would represent Him well. Peter told us “It is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.”

Christians have a vital role to play in God’s “Public Image.” #11 He desires we be compassionate. Paul told the Ephesians, “Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” #12 God desires that we would be humble. Here’s a classic, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God? These are God’s desires. It should always be our desire to please Him.

SMITHFIELD

BY ESTHER MCCOY We were having lunch at a popular Steubenville restaurant on Veterans Day and a gentleman and lady were seated at the required respectable distance from us across the aisle.

They were leaving first and as they passed by, the man stopped and handed Lamont a receipt for our meal that read, "Thank you for your service. Paid in full."

We both were in tears, it was such a wonderful thing to do They knew he was a veteran by the U.S. Air Force cap I purchased for his birthday three years ago. It is getting tattered but covers his head each time we go out, except for Sunday dinner. We didn't know the couple but they will be remembered in our prayers for the very nice tribute they paid to Lamont.

The two of us put out 24 flags, one in the ground at each house along our small portion of County Road 20 again for Veterans Day. It is nice to hear some of the neighbors who get their yard "flagged" say they appreciate it. A card I have pasted on the side of my letter holder has official flag flying days and tells that Thanksgiving will be another flag observance, then Pearl Harbor Day on Dec. 7 and Christmas. Then we start all over again.

The Smithfield Christian Church service was canceled last Sunday due to the rising numbers of COVID virus. Even though there is distance between all except couples, they might be more likely to pick up the virus . We will try with all wearing masks next week.

Jim Everson read from an older story about a variety show, held by the Brilliant Lions Club years back, at the regular meeting.. It looked as if everyone in town took part in it somehow. There were many talented residents of the village and surrounding areas included in the show.. He likened it to the annual shows of the Adena Lions Club. They always have a theme and play out the music and skits with it.

Dennis Kinsey always has a funny segment. The one with Rob Whinnery as a dentist who jabs himself in the leg with a pain killing shot and drags the immovable leg around like a log is funny. Dennis Kinsey is usually the butt of all jokes and does some tricks that have to hurt. The best thing that could happen is for the virus to be contained by April, for the show and the country. And I need to mention that last year was the first time without John Parkinson as the announcer. He had done it for over 40 years.

April is a month our oldest granddaughter, Amber, is thinking about wearing a long, white gown and walking down a church aisle. It isn't definite yet.

The health situation will have to be much better first.

Thanksgiving will be here before the next News-Herald will be in the mail so I want to wish all of you heartfelt happiness just to be alive and healthy, if that is the circumstance.

And if sickness has happened or is still going on, may you heal soon. We all have something to be thankful for, maybe it is just that someone smiled at you that day or held the door for you to walk through. Love life and love the ones around you.

DEERSVILLE

By Susan Adams November 8, Sunday, the Deersville Community Players held their year-end meeting.

They are always looking for new members. It is a perfect opportunity to be involved with a group that does good for the community and has fun doing it.

Look at the Past A look back at South Main St. in Cadiz

A portion of an aerial view of S. Main St circa 1950. One can see the Clark-Kirkland-Barr Funeral Home that was just purchased by Clint Barr, the Drummond House across the street that is undergoing renovation, the three houses that are no longer there, the house we know as the Moser building that is undergoing major renovations and the homes that were torn down to build the Sander's Grocery Store. St. Teresa's church is not showing. The large white building may be the colored school across from the cemetery that was torn down to build the Gammeter house.

It is the only little theater group in Harrison County.

Donations are always welcome too and DCT is a 501C3 tax exempt organization.

Donations can be sent to: Deersville Community Theatre, Christy Holmes, Treasurer, 39 300 Brushy Fork Rd, Cadiz OH 43907 We need to keep this historic theater active.

Thank you to all who came to the Craft Show at the Deersville Fire Department on on Saturday, Nov. 7 to make it a success.

Congratulations to #526 Koda Devore for the podium third place finish at the 2020 AMSOIL Buckwheat 100 Grand National Cross County Series race that was held in W.Va., on Sunday, Nov. 8. This was his GNCC Racing season 2020 final. He is awaiting to see where this places him in the point standing on the national stage. GNCC is the premier offroad racing series. Cross-county racing is one to the most physically demanding sports in the world. Koda is the son of Travis and Nicki Devore of Uhrichsville, Grandson to Shelley Devore and the late Chuck Devore and greatgrandson to Harold McMillen and the late Joanne Coultrap McMillen of rural Deersville. Plans are already being made for the 2021 season.

The new winter hours for the Deersville General Store starting Nov. 1 are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. We are so glad they are open year round. Also, somehow I missed it but on Oct.12 when they broke their record for the number of gallons of ice cream sold.

In 2019 at the end of the year they had sold 6006 gallons.

October 12, 2020 they reached 6018 gallons. That is a lot of happy people! Also, look for the new Harrison County Com munity Guide that is out. The Deersville General Store is featured.

The Woody-Paul Blanket Mission met on Monday, Nov. 9 at 10 a.m. with eight ladies making 15 blankets for those in need of comfort. A sack lunch was enjoyed. Andrea Crook and Valorie Peterson came from Windsor, W.Va., and had Valorie's new baby girl with them. Her first blanket mission but I'm sure not her last.

Thank you to all who came to the monthly trustee and board meeting at the church. We so metimes forget that the church

has business to attend to also.

The Deersville Community Garden Club held their regular meeting on Thursday, Nov.12 at the home of Carol Henry with Hostesses Marilyn McMillen and Nancy Keplin ger. Eight members were present.

They approved Christmas gifts for honorary members. In new business, the group discussed donating money to OUR - Operation Underground Railroad that works with law enforcement to rescue children from human traffickers.

Rebekah Henry will do more research and report back to the group. The meeting closed with the group reciting the "Gardner's Prayer".

The program was presented by Susan Adams on "How to prepare and cook two different kinds of wild game". She gave a quiz andprizes were given out. Rebekah Henry extended grace and the group enjoyed delicious refreshments prepared by the hostesses.

He went into business with Ed Wheeler who was blind in both eyes. They bought a team and a wagon and went on the road with their product, which of course, was not extraordinary, only for the fact that both of their horses were blind in both eyes. Travelers when coming into town would relate to folks how the came up on "Two men and two horses, and there was only one good eye in the outfit."

In the boys portion of the competition, the top bowlers included Zach Keyser at 420 and Lane Harding at 329.

Arnold to co-captain All-TL cross country

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter CADIZ - Eighteen area athletes now represent the All-Times Leader’s Cross-Country 2020 Team. One male athlete and one female athlete were honored by being name the squad’s cocaptains.

For the boys, Bellaire’s Jacob Defibaugh was named as the cocaptain, while Harrison Central’s Jasmine Arnold was named the girl’s team co-captain.

Arnold, now a senior at Harrison,

received lots of media attention during her career as a Husky crosscountry runner.

Among those accolades she was heralded as the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference’s (OVAC) IVA Champion and at the same time earned an All-OVAC honor. In addition to the OVAC recognitions, Arnold also earned a Buckeye 8 Championship, was Ohio Valley Cross-Country League (OVCCL) Class III-A Champion, and finished second in the Division-II Districts to earn another trip to Regional competition.

Because of the covid pandemic, Operation Christmas Child drop-off locations are having to make some changes this year. Drop offs will be done curb-side and those dropping off boxes will not have to leave their cars. Operation Christmas Child is part of Samaritan's Purse, a Christian relief organization.

Shoeboxes are packed with school supplies, small toys,

personal care items, clothing and accessories and then shipped to ministries in over 100 countries and given to children who have never received Christmas presents. They also learn about God's love for them through a program called "The Greatest Journey".

Shoeboxes are packed by individuals, families, churches, and organizations and then dropped off at designated sites

along with $9 per box for shipping. Harrison County has two sites for collecting packed shoeboxes: His Word Ministries at 34915 Moore Road in Moorefield and Scott Memorial United Methodist Church at 817 East Market Street in Cadiz. Each site will be collecting boxes through Nov. 23. Their schedules are: His Word Ministries: Saturday, Nov. 21, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Sunday, Nov. 22, 12:30 - 2:30 p.m.

Monday, Nov. 23, 9 - 11 a.m.

Scott Memorial: Saturday, Nov. 21, 4-6 p.m.

Sunday, Nov. 22, 12:30-3 p.m.

Monday, Nov. 23, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

If you would like to learn more about Operation Christmas Child, what to pack in a shoebox, how to pack a shoeboxes online, or how to follow where your shoebox goes, visit samaritanspurse.org/occ.

Jeff. Co. JVS sees positive financial forecast BLOOMINGDALE-The Jefferson County Joint Vocational School District is seeing a clear financial picture as leaders laid out the five-year forecast on Tuesday.

District Treasurer Karen Spoonemore informed school board members that with normal expenses and current financing conditions the school was projected to remain in the black through Fiscal Year 2025.

"It was probably one of the best forecasts I've had," she said.

"I don't foresee anything happening that will hurt the forecast as along as we stay within budget. I think it's pretty smooth sailing for the next five years."

She noted that companies such as Rover Pipeline have been paying property taxes and ironically the coronavirus pandemic has helped the school save money.

"We invest a lot into professional development and competitions, and since we closed in March there were none," she later said. "We didn't spend much because there were virtual events."

Spoonemore estimated that $100,000 was expended to send students to contests in their various programs, from Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) to

Business Professionals of America (BPA), among others.

Spoonemore noted that grant funds have also defrayed costs for safety supplies to reduce the spread of COVID in the school, which also helped with operations.

"We spent money for cleaning and preparing but received relief money for that, so we didn't lose money."

The board later adopted the five-year forecast to submit to the state.

Meanwhile, Superintendent Dr. Todd Phillipson reported that this year's Sophomore Visit event has been significantly altered and virtual and scheduled tours will be offered Nov. 23 to limit the number of people in the school.

"This time of year, we normally have our sophomore visits but we were unable to do that," he said. "We have our parent-teacher conferences next Monday and normally we do it with visits, but it's all going to be scheduled. There will be no tour of the building and they have to schedule time to see the program."

He added that some instructors are only providing virtual tours of their labs while others may offer scheduled and virtual options. The multimedia and design program, under the

guidance of instructor Cody LaRue, also created a video outlining the JVS's 16 programs from auto collision to welding which will be shown in local school districts, plus they have joined forces with EM-Media of Steubenville to promote the school on the air and through social media. Dr. Phillipson said the recruitment video will be available on YouTube and features 30 seconds on each program.

He continued that applications are also being accepted online and the school has received more than a halfdozen submissions so far.

"We're always looking for ways, especially with social media, to access the facilities while following safety precautions. I think we're doing everything we can to make sure the sophomores know what's here and see all of the programs," he commented. "In the long term, we hope to have the sophomores out in the spring."

In other matters, the board: --Heard from board President Larry George and member Barry Gullen about the virtual Ohio School Boards Association's annual Capital Conference; --Learned from Supervisor/Principal Dan

Hartman that teacher evaluations were going very well and were nearly complete, while Supervisor/Assistant Principal Andy Long said attendance has been improving with a 57percent decrease in absences and a 79-percent drop in unexcused absences; --Named Andrew Connor as volunteer head teacher; --Hired Aubri Waggoner as part-time office clerk/adult education receptionist under a one-year contract, effective Dec. 1; --Accepted a $1,800 Ohio K12 Connectivity Grant for the 2020-21 school year; --Approved the purchase of four GoPro cameras and equipment for $2,273.79 to make the school's recruitment video; --Approved the purchase of indoor and outdoor security cameras from i2c Technologies for $4,820; --Approved replacing a sink in the auto body shop area; --Renewed the American Welding Society (AWS) educational membership in the SENSE program; --Submitted information to renew the school's cosmetology license; --Approved payment of SkillsUSA and FCCLA state and national dues plus FFA memberships for 32 students.

Buckeye South teacher earns grant for Sensory Solutions

DILLONVALE-The Jefferson County Educational Service Center has awarded $600 to one Buckeye Local School District teacher to help provide sensory solutions for students.

Buckeye South Elementary teacher Alyssa Lollini is a 202021 Best Practice Grant recipient and her windfall will benefit 10 special education students through her project, “Sensory Solutions for Sensational Students.” Lollini, who instructs students in grades K-4, will purchase materials to promote in-seat positive behavior, attention to task and body awareness. She said sensory interventions using sensory

strategies are a part of evidencebased practices to include exercise, reinforcement and selfmanagement techniques, The items will help students decompress and can be used prior to reaching a point of escalation.

This is the first time she received the mini-grant and Lollini said it would definitely help her students.

“I am beyond excited to be one of the recipients of this grant. I can’t wait to order everything and have my students use the different sensory items throughout the day,” she said. “This is such an amazing opportunity to provide

them with the tools necessary to help them best succeed! I am incredibly thankful to the ESC for awarding me this grant and I know my students are very excited as well.”

JCESC Superintendent Dr. Chuck Kokiko touted Lollini and all of this year’s recipients for their insightful and innovative ideas.

“The 2020-21 school year has brought new challenges for classroom teachers given the current pandemic. JCESC is pleased to have the funding for continued support of the Best Practice Grants,” said Dr. Kokiko. “Many teachers are looking for new resources to

meet the unique needs of this school year while others are simply searching for funds to support innovative instructional practices. In either case, JCESC congratulates all of our winners and wish them continued success as they work to provide the finest education to their students.”

JCESC has awarded Best Practice Grants to benefit education at Buckeye Local, Edison Local, Harrison Hills City, Indian Creek Local, Southern Local, Steubenville City and Toronto City Schools as well as the Utica Shale Academy.

CADIZ – A case that’s dated back to April of 2019 has finally been settled. Roderick Cowens, 44, of Cadiz had originally been charged with assault, a felony of the fourth degree and two misdemeanors: resisting arrest and domestic violence.

On Tuesday, Cowens pleaded guilty to assault and resisting arrest, which were amended to misdemeanors. The domestic violence charge was dropped.

Cowens, represented by Steven Stickles, was sentenced to one year of probation with 180 days of jail time suspended, which includes four days of credit for time served. Judge T. Shawn Hervey informed Cowens that he would also need to complete any program recommended by the correction’s department.

It was an uneventful day in court as 14 scheduled cases were delayed until after the newly elected prosecutor, Lauren Knight takes over, which will be on Monday, Nov. 23. Knight’s final team hasn’t been made

clear as of yet or, how long Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese, who handled the bulk of the weekly cases, would serve Harrison County.

Cases for Tuesday, Nov. 24 expect to be a loaded calendar as Cruise Bishop, Lacee Smith, Joshua Tharp, Larry Smith, Kayla Taylor, Michael Beach, Nicholas Molinaro, Heather Sutton, Douglas Grim, Richard Jones, Laura Carpenter, Michael Green and Isaiah Hackworth are all expected to appear and predominantly via videoconference.

Ohio's deer-gun hunting seasons begin in November COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio's hunters are eagerly anticipating the chance to take to the woods and fields in November when gun seasons begin for whitetailed deer.

Youth hunters younger than 18 years old have their own weekend to hunt Ohio's favorite big-game animal on Nov. 2122, 2020. All hunters have the chance to hunt the traditional gun season from Monday, Nov. 30 to Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020, and again during the bonus weekend on Dec. 19-20.

"Ohio's gun seasons add another level of excitement for our deer hunters," said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker. "This is a time to celebrate the tradition that has provided so much enjoyment for so many throughout the years. Good luck in the field, wear hunter orange, and have a safe and enjoyable deer season!"

The Buckeye State's deer-gun hunting seasons have spanned generations of Ohioans and are a time many friends and families gather to celebrate the moment.

In 2019, Ohio hunters harvested 63,567 deer during the weeklong deer-gun season, as well as an additional 13,703 deer during the two-day bonus weekend.

Young hunters harvested 6,249 deer during the two-day youth weekend.

Check the 2020-2021 Ohio Hunting Regulations handbook for county-specific bag limits, updates on permits, hunting on public lands, and precautions to take if you hunt out of state.

Youth hunters are required to be accompanied by a nonhunting adult. Legal hunting equipment for all deer-gun seasons includes specific shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns, straight-walled cartridge rifles, and archery equipment. More information is available at wildohio.gov.

2020 Deer-Gun Season Dates Youth weekend: Saturday, Nov. 21 and Sunday, Nov. 22. This weekend is open to hunters with a youth hunting license and deer permit.

Deer-gun week: Monday, Nov. 30 to Sunday, Dec. 6.

Bonus weekend: Saturday, Dec. 19 and Sunday, Dec. 20.

Users can also purchase licenses and permits and view wildlife area maps through the app. Tech-savvy hunters are encouraged to help others use the app to check game and access other areas of content.

Wildlife Hotline Hunters have the option of contacting the Division of Wildlife's toll-free hotline at 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543) with questions about hunting.

Post election chaos, lawsuits dismissed

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

The remarkable connection and support President Donald Trump has had from his supporters is nothing short of astounding, including from women considering the sexual complaints against him that number in the 40s. The questions asked and addressed here have nothing to do with party affiliation but the odd behavior of a man who happens to be president of the United States and has refused to accept the election results that clearly shows him defeated in numerous key states by tens of thousands of votes.

And this denial is not without consequences as it continues to polarize politics, familiar faces and almost everyday life. Family members have fought (including this reporter’s) but not only in taking sides concerning party affiliation but what two sides see as fact. The problem is that one side isn’t providing any answers and all journalists are asking is, where’s the proof of election fraud?

The complaints of election fraud are also heard along E. Market Street and beyond. And thoughts towards that kind of corruption seem to be accomplished as easily as walking across the street to buy a loaf of bread. Trump continues to tweet many falsehoods and, according to a Washington Post story (Oct. 22), 22,247 described as, “errant claims” is averaging 50 per day as of Aug. 27.

Trump and Republican lawyers have pilfered the courts across key states that Trump lost, which includes 10 and mostly in Pennsylvania with three in Michigan with only one decision in his favor and one that had been pending.

That one (Pennsylvania), according to the Wall Street Journal (Nov. 13), involves 10,000 ballots versus a Biden lead of now more than 82,000.

Stories in various media outlets will tell you how many Republicans are afraid of Trump. He has such great power and leverage within the

party but the question is why, considering the man doesn’t have the best reputation for telling the truth. A story on CNN’s website dated, Nov. 16 noted that every Republican senator was invited to appear on Meet The Press and not one showed up.

Even the Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has gotten in on the act by filing an amicus brief (brief of Amicus Curiae) on behalf of the state of Pennsylvania. The following statement concerns the brief in the case Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar (secretary of state): "This constitutional question will come up again in future elections. It is in the best interest of all Ohioans - all of America - to gain a definitive answer, regardless of politics," Yost wrote in a news release. Yost filed the brief, which challenges the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision to extend an 8 p.m. deadline ballots were allowed to be received and counted, “within three days after election day.” But that’s just one of the lawsuits involving the Quaker State.

Cadiz Attorney John Tabacchi said the brief is just to show support for Pennsylvania’s Republican Party.

The argument is that the election board and not the Supreme Court should only have been allowed to do that. And there are some in the legal community who agree with the challenge.

The question is, if Trump hadn’t mentioned the word “fraud” who would have? Now we have people turning against each other as if there has to be a winner and a loser. When asking his followers for details on how a national election could have been rigged, no answers-no details, not even a guess.

Whatever happens, it appears to be a zero sum game in this country that’s jumped the fence, the shark or any other phrase where winning has now reached far beyond the boundaries of sport. What is more perplexing is the amount of Republican public officials who refuse to

call Joe Biden president-elect, which is done in every election year before those votes are certified.

Ben Hovland, Chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission and a Trump appointee, said this was the most secure election in American history.

That statement matches up with Republican Secretary of State for Georgia, Brad Raffensperger who has been put in the position of fighting off the hungry wolves-fellow Republicans who called for his resignation with no facts to back up their accusations of “lack of transparency” as one of the criticisms he’s taken on the chin. And he’s not the only one as all three Philadelphia City Commissioners, including Republican Al Schmidt, received death threats-and that was before the election.

Trump apparently has gotten carried away with his, “I can shoot someone on Fifth Ave. and not lose votes,” joke and feels like he can say and do whatever he wants and never suffer the consequences. But he is now.

The people that put Trump in office aren’t the ones who voted for him in 2016, it was the ones who didn’t vote at all but they did in 2020. It appears that all those people who marched in the streets chanting “he’s not my president” four years agolike many others who probably didn’t vote, voted this time and in droves.

Some pundits have talked of how our standards have been lowered and where everything seems to turn into a conspiracy.

People increasingly are seeing and hearing what they want to believe and more dangerously, are only listening to people who agree with them!

The public criticizes the media for rushing to get a story out before their competitor but they’re practicing the same bad habits in public rumormongering, especially through social media where they can’t wait to get that rumor established as fact when it’s nothing more than an opinion.

Hopedale gets power to old school buildings

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Wednesday, Council Member Ron Hawkins informed council all that was being done to get power to the few buildings the village of Hopedale took over from the old school. Hawkins said AEP hooked up power earlier that day. He said trenches had been dug “instead of trying to run conduit on the side of the building and wires through the roof.”

He said it would all be done outside those buildings and no conduit in or on the buildings.

He said that would be done later in the week. Discussion followed more on other logistics of the project and what details needed taken care of.

Talk moved to videoconferences and the type of unit that was introduced to them. Council Member Willie Luther explained the device that is mounted on the television and it “shoots the room.”

“It will allow us you know,

opportunities if this (COVID) keeps going and we need to meet with people, we could put our people in a room and connect with them and we’d be good to go,” Luther told council. No action was taken on the matter but it was well received by council.

Mayor Mike Pelegreen told council the estimate for the sewer line to the township building was $7,620. Pelegreen read the particulars of the layout and measurements and council approved.

Discussion led to Luther, on behalf of council, to remind residents of their passing of a surcharge for the “Rabbit Road Project.” He said that would begin in January. The surcharge is for $5 and pays for products involved in the project. He also wanted to remind villagers that an approval for a water rate increase back in June occurred as well.

“It’s slight increases from twenty twenty-one all the way through twenty twenty-five,” he said adding that the EPA recommends a 2.5 to 3 percent

annual raise but said they tried staying “underneath that.”

“This is something that’s going to go on all customers over the five years,” he explained. He said it will help the village in “all things water,” which include repairs, paying salaries and insurance costs, for example.

For 2021 beginning January 1, the base rate for village residential customers is $30.50; for 2022: $31; 2023: $31.75; 2024: $32.50; 2025: $33.50.

For business customers the rates for 2021 are: $35; 2022: $36; 2023: $37; 2024: $38.50; 2025: $40.

For customers outside the village limits the base rate for 2021 is: $37.50; 2022: $39; 2023: $40; 2024: $41; 2025: $42. For businesses outside the village limits, the 2021 base rate will be: $37.25; 2022: $38.25; 2023: $39.25; 2024: $40.75; 2025: $42.25.

Fire Chief Mark Marchetta also appeared and brought some of the new items purchased with COVID relief grant money.
