SCIO – A small void has been filled in Scio at the corner of 204 E. Main Street where Zatta’s Pizza once occupied. They’ve been out of business for the past few years but Pauly’s Pizza has moved in and they have a little kick behind them as it is being run by the same family who as the B&F Dairy Bar. Chris Tronsgard added a special touch when she named the place after her late son, Andrew Paul.

There are no flashy signs up yet but the food is hot and there is much to offer.

“If you support the community they’ll support you,” Tronsgard said. She noticed a lack of business in the immediate area and that inspired her to start her pizza shop. Last Thursday was the soft opening and they were very busy. Pauly’s is family owned and operated and offers a 20 percent discount to military, law enforcement personnel, firefighters, corrections officers, dispatch and EMS and rescue as well.

“We offer good pizza, good food,” Tronsgard said and handed over a menu listing calzones, Stromboli, pepperoni rolls, breadsticks, cheese sticks, wings, oven-baked hoagies and plenty of pizza. Also, under specialty pizzas Pauly’s offers various pizzas like the Hawaiian Delight with ham, pineapple, bacon, cheese and BBQ sauce. There is also a meat lovers pizza, cheese burger, four cheese pizza, veggie, chicken bacon ranch, Carolina BBQ, spinach Alfredo and a buffalo ranch chicken.

Pauly’s is also offering deserts such as, funnel styx topped with powder sugar; smore’s pizza with a sugar cookie crust, brownie bites, chocolate chips, marshmallows and “drizzled with chocolate syrup.”

And if that is not enough there is also a caramel apple delight, which is filled with spiced apples and “topped with a homemade crumble” and “drizzled with caramel.” There are also cinnamon rolls as well.

Hours are Wednesday through Monday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. and closed on Tuesday’s. The official grand opening is scheduled for Dec. 14.

County auction nets over $30K

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – An auction was held Monday on properties that had been foreclosed on in order to collect back taxes. Harrison County Prosecuting Attorney Owen Beetham stated on Wednesday, near the end of the commissioner’s meeting that their “delinquent tax foreclosure sale” netted over $30,000.

Beetham thanked Treasurer Vickie Sefsick and Harrison County Sheriff Joe Myers, as well as Capt. Mark Touville who acted as auctioneer for the event.

“That was a smaller sale with targeted properties that individuals had shown interest in by contacting the treasurer’s office,” Beetham explained to the board. He also stated this helps with back taxes not collected but also places these properties back on the tax list for collecting in the future.

“And also gives those individuals an opportunity to clean up some long-neglected properties,” Beetham stated. He then added that they anticipate another larger scale auction to be held sometime next spring.

Sefsick thanked Beetham and all involved for the work they put in. She also said that this was the first auction in a long time. She said later there had been an auction held back in 2015 but couldn’t remember one before that because it had been so long.

Commissioner Don Bethel agreed that it had been a long time since the last auction.

“They’re coming back,” she said. Based on information the treasurer’s office provided was that 17 parcels were presented with a total of six being sold. An additional 11 parcels adding to over $41,000, which received no bids from the Nov. 18 auction, will be re-bid on Dec. 9 at 9 a.m. Those amounts range from as little as $878 then jumps to over $2,000 and continues up to over $9,200.

NH Correspondent

BOWERSTON - At the November meeting of the Bowerston Village Council, council member Paula Beamer inquired as to where Council stood on selling the two properties that Council had discussed earlier in the year.

Solicitor Jenna Hokes advised that all paperwork is now in order for the Village to proceed; a unanimous vote by Council would be necessary.

A motion was successfully passed to sell, by sealed bid and a $1,000 reserve, the property at

School

103 Main Street. Hokes is to provide property description for review by Council prior to advertisement in a local newspaper.

A motion was unsuccessfully voted upon to sell the 210 Main Street property with Council President Dan Trushell voting against. The matter was tabled until the January meeting.

In other discussion, Village Administrator Megan John advised that she and Beamer had done a review of the Village’s utility rates and had determined that the Village is still below average rates as presented on the EPA website. Research

HARRISON COUNTY – Pat Wood, a 1968 graduate of Cadiz High School and longtime football coach at Wayne High School near Dayton, was inducted into the Wayne Hall of Fame on Oct. 26.

Wood coached football for 42 years with 38 spent on the Wayne High School sidelines. His 38 years at Wayne High School helped transform the Warriors into perennial powerhouses. During his tenure, the Warriors have 16 playoff appearances, 12 conference titles, eight district titles, four regional titles and four runner-up state trophies.

“Woody,” as he was affectionately known, was an old school, hardnosed, in-your-face, no-nonsense coach that demanded

accountability and hard work from his players, which gravitated to all players on the team. His attention to detail made him the best at his craft and athletes would run through a wall for him.

Coach Wood also coached six years at Alter as a defensive coach and one year at Bellaire St. John as a head coach. In 2009, he was inducted into the Miami Valley assistant coaches hall of fame. His coaching record during his tenure at Wayne was 285-90-3.

Guest speaker for the hall of fame evening was Will Allen, who was inducted into the Wayne Hall of Fame in 2015. Allen played football at The Ohio State University before a 12-year career in the NFL. He graduated from

Wayne in 2000.

Presenting Pat Wood was a former player of his, Marcus Freeman, who is also a current hall of famer.

The very first Wayne Hall of Fame induction was in 2002, where the inaugural class saw 22 people enshrined. Four ceremonies later, a total of 69 athletes/community members/coaches/athletic directors have been inducted into this elite class.

Pat is married to wife Susie for 23 years and was also an educator at Wayne from 1979 to 2009. He is also a graduate of Miami of Ohio with a B.S. and University of Dayton with an M.A. Pat is the son of the late Darby and Catherine Wood of Cadiz.

Jewett waterline project to begin after Thanksgiving

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – Water Superintendent Charley Harris told Jewett’s council at Wednesday night’s meeting that their major waterline project would more than likely begin after the Thanksgiving holiday.

There was no long discussion on the matter as Harris informed council the preparations he’s been going through.

Council member Bo Bailey said they needed to update the public on when Border Patrol, who was awarded the bid for the project, would be starting the work. Clerk Treasurer Linda Ager said she would post the exact date at the Jewett Post Office as well as at the bank.

Also, Ager said her “proposed” 2020 budget came to $1,465,100 and emphasized that it was not a final figure. She said one fund was increased by $750,000 as it was needed for their waterline project.

“That will not be the final…” she repeated.

Police Chief Ron Carter told council he needs signs posted at the park stating, “I can’t enforce anything if it’s not posted.” He said there was none at the front or on the Jefferson Street entrance. “…There’s only one sign going into the park once you’re already in the park on the right hand side going in,” Carter explained. “There’s no sign on the front where the basketball courts are and there’s no sign on Jefferson Street.” No action was taken as Carter said he just wanted council to know what he was dealing with at the park.

Council member Rick Meneely again brought up the Conotton Creek issue stating he had met with Harrison County Commissioner Don Bethel about getting the creek cleaned up. He said he hoped there was a possibility of lowering the spillway a bit more after some dredging. He said he was told that it was not the engineer’s responsibility, which Harrison County Engineer Doug Bachman

confirmed on Thursday.

“I thought that the waterways was the county’s responsibility,” Meneely said but Bachman cleared that up the following day.

“Unless someone comes up with some money the engineer’s office is only responsible for county roads and bridges,” Bachman explained by phone. He said “by law” that the gas tax they receive could only be spent on the “maintenance and construction of county roads and bridges.”

Meneely said that he was beginning to see problems of water backing up as in the past “so we need to get that done one way or another.”

The issue of dilapidated houses being torn down was raised and the figure of $15,000 was mentioned for demolition per house, which Mayor Dwight Busby said he knew someone that would do it “cheaper than that.” Village Solicitor Jenna Hokes said she would look into the matter. She

explained that there would need to be proper notice given but under a “properly written nuisance order” with valid notice given she said it could be done.

“I will be happy to look into that,” Hokes told council.

Busby said in frustration that while the village is citing residents for trash and property maintenance they’re still dealing with numerous houses left standing that have been vacant for years.

“I’d like to find out what we need to do, what we can do if anything, to get rid of some of these houses,” Busby told her.

Hokes said she could have the necessary information in time for the next meeting.

Meneely asked if there was a way to gain possession of some of these houses and possibly remodel them by way of funding “to put them back in service.”

“A way being possession? Yes,” Hokes answered, “because… most of the banks aren’t paying taxes on them so we can take

them through tax foreclosure.

It’s my understanding that our new auditor is looking heavily into seizing a lot of the properties that have a bunch of taxes.”

Busby stated that there could

be a few properties that could benefit the village but did not say specifically which ones.

Harrison County Auditor Allison Anderson could not be reached in time for this publication.

Susan Adams, President, and Kelley Michelli, Vice President of the Harrison County Genealogical Society shared with the patrons some interesting history about towns that once existed and thrived in Harrison County. Places like Tappan (Franklin) and Laceyville that are now covered

by Tappan Lake. Little Zion Colony that was created as a home for freed slaves in the early 1820's. Towns on the historic Moravian Trail: Feed Springs, Brownsville, Moraville, Old Town (Indian settlement-burial ground), and Hatonia (Loafers Hollow). The hamlet of Cassville where a mysterious hanging occurred in 1926 and the unidentified man being buried in an unmarked grave at the cemetery there. And how the town was lost to strip mining in 1965.

Warfel that once had two thriving mills, a general store, blacksmith shop and post office.

Home to Major Charles Warfel who commanded the militia when John Hunt Morgan made

his march through Harrison County and Warfel's daughter Malinda Warfel Slaughter, author, educator, and First Lady of the Dakota Territory. Warfel was also the site of the (CCC) Civilian Conservation Corp, Camp General Custer 1570 in the 1940's. Duncanwood (Somers Camp), once the second largest town in Harrison County with 235 homes and 1300 people that lasted about 30 years.

The Deersville Players served

food before the presentation in the lower level of the theatre.

They would like to thank all the folks who supported the event by purchasing food, putting money in the donation jar in the back of the theatre or buying chances on the fall decorations.

The Deersville Theatre and Hall was built in 1913 spearheaded by a group of women who "saw a need of increased public spirit and village improvement". People in the community and the Deersville Dramatic Club

worked hard to raise the funds to build this "community hall" for the town.

Moravian Trail DAR salutes veterans CADIZ — Nine members were present when The Moravian Trail Chapter of D.A.R. met Nov. 16 at the Harrison Community Hospital. Dessert was served and a social time was enjoyed. Hostess was Patty Vaughan.

The DAR ritual was led by Regent Patty Vaughan and Chaplain Kay Singer. Chaplain Singer asked all to recall that Nov. 11 was Veteran's Day and prayed for veterans and their families. She read an article about how people have always remembered Sgt. York and paid tribute to him, but she then read a letter from a young boy who had wonderful memories of his soldier father and reminded us that all servicemen deserved to be remembered as much as Sgt. York. The chapter

had made gift mugs that were given to many of the veterans who stopped in at the Veteran's Service office near Veteran's Day. Sheila Perkins read the President General's message and said we must take pride in the founding of America and grow in areas of mission. She announced an ambitious goal of a membership increase of 20 percent this next year.

Janice Yager gave the National Defense message. She took it from a 30 year old DAR magazine she had been looking through. It was during the Cold War and it shared a part of a speech to high school students.

It described a simple test to point out the value of democracy. The test was called the Gates Test. It was like this: If all countries had gates, and

America raised its gates, all people would run in. If the Soviet Union raised its gates people would run out. In fact people would risk life and limb to get out.

Regent Vaughan shared some Thanksgiving trivia and details of the Christmas dinner next month. The minutes and treasurer's reports were given by Janice Yager and Peggy Milliken.

The Chapter had raised $1,344 for the Semper Canine Project of training dogs for handicapped veterans.

Historian Kelley Miichelli continued the tribute to veterans with the suggestion that we be aware of the American Legion Auxiliary and she shared an insert from a newspaper with pictures of Ohio veterans.

Registrar Jackie Gephart reported on a registrar's meeting

she had attended in Lancaster. She also passed out new program booklets.

The next meeting will be the Christmas luncheon on Dec. 14 at 12:30 at Theo's Restaurant in Cambridge. Hostesses will be Patty Vaughan and Jackie Gebhart.

Lakeland Academy remains stable, receive positive rating

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

FREEPORT – A fairly short meeting with not much on the agenda occurred Monday as Lakeland Academy opened their November meeting with Treasurer Don Donahue stating that October’s ending general revenue amounted to $278,833.

“And our total fund balance was ($268,407) and the reason it’s less is because we spent some grant monies that we haven’t submitted for reimbursement yet, so some of those run into the red,” Donahue explained.

He added that a few items from the general fund would reduce it some, one being the “fiscal agent fees” from July through September but gave no figure.

Donahue said that E-Rate money received in October would have initially increased revenue by $8,092.

“That’s going to be used to defray the Internet connection cost that we have,” he told the board. He stated that originally, this money had been placed into the general fund before knowing exactly where it would go. Now, it would be taken back out of the general fund and placed into

a “special fund” then take it from there.

“The total cash is still there it just gets dispersed up into different funds,” Donahue said.

Vice President of the Board Joyce Klingler asked about a legal fee charged in the amount of $1,075 because she was under the impression they had contracted an attorney to do work at a set price that was already paid. Administrative Assistant, Jenn Bardall stated that the previous fee she’d been asking about was a one-time fee for services rendered and this current one of, $1,075 was

separate from that.

Expenditures for the month of October under “garbage removal & cleaning ($1,785); rentals ($3,417); telephone service ($253.21); Internet access service ($843); electricity ($1,353.64.); water and sewage ($89) and other utility services ($114.93). Classroom supplies came to $1,963.88.

Also, Mike Cool of North Central Ohio Educational Service Center (NCOESC) and the school’s sponsor told the board they had received an effective rating, “as your sponsor” as he’d predicted from the previous

meeting. He noted that the time for school-sponsorship is now upon them.

Superintendent, Scott Bardall stated during his report that applications for three sponsors were received. He said one out of Pickerington (Charter Schools Specialists) was lengthy and “very detailed.” Another one was Lake Erie West where he said they would be back in contact by midDecember. He said he’d just completed a third application adding that they had to “keep as many doors open as we can.”

“Most of these sponsors are just going through the process of

finalizing whether they’re keeping someone that they currently have under contract or letting them go…” Bardall explained. He added that they have been very happy and have a good relationship with NCOESC. During Superintendent Bardall’s report, he touched on weather policies, Project Kind, which was done through the Harrison County Health Department (K-3) on how to treat others, as well as lessons in manners, self awareness and self control were some of the items taught.

HC Job & Family Services enters into agreement for document scanning

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Wednesday, Assistant Director of Harrison County Jobs & Family Services (HCJFS) Deb Knight received an approval to enter into an agreement with Northwoods Consulting Partners Inc. for the scanning of their public documents. Knight stated that previously they’d contracted with Butler and JFS Imaging but changed to Northwoods

when the state began providing their services.

“We currently have a scanning system that’s provided through ODJFS (Ohio Department of Jobs & Family Services) for our public assistance documents,” Knight explained. She added that they have been pulling older documents out of the old system and into the current one.

“It became apparent to us in the last month or so that that old system, JFS Imaging, is no longer being supported by its

creator and we ran the risk of losing the documents in that system,” she said. Knight also said those documents add up to approximately 70,000 in number.

Knight further explained that the creator of the old system failed in his attempt to have his system installed in all counties throughout Ohio after the state chose to work with Northwoods, thereby weakening their old system, as it would no longer be serviced

because of that development.

Knight said in order to transfer all documents over to the new system this new agreement would be necessary and added that this predicament is occurring across Ohio.

“It is happening to everybody,” she told the board. “We just realized in the past month or so that, the system is no longer supported.” She said that after contacting Northwoods they looked at the HCJFS system and gave a price of $10,000 to

move their 70,000 documents.

Knight explained that the documents that “don’t fit” the new scanning system will be placed into “another depository” that they have access to. Knight said they expected to have all those documents moved before Thanksgiving.

“So, we will hopefully have averted a disaster,” she told the board. She also added that they could have been charged up to $27,000, which is what some counties are being

charged but after counting the HCJFS documents, came up with the lessor amount. She said the 10,000 documents is actually a small amount compared to many counties across the state.

“We really have no option, we have to have those documents,” Knight said.

Later she stated that Northwoods has been “excellent to work with.” The money will come from the HCJFS funds.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy Just think, only five more days until the aroma of roasting turkey will be drifting through many homes in celebration of Thanksgiving.

It is later this year but it still seems early to me. Maybe it’s because I lost about three weeks being down with pneumonia. And I had just received my pneumonia shot 3 1/2weeks earlier. I can be thankful for being over a terrible cough and the aching muscles and headaches from coughing so hard brought on.

I am thankful for my sister, Dorothy Toth, who brought over complete dinners on three different evenings when I didn’t lift my head from the pillow too often let alone cook.

I’m thankful for two grandnieces, Nola and Lucy Toth, who walk across the lawn to see me. And we always have to play games. Shaylor McHugh comes up to visit with her grandmother, Norma Jean too.

It is always nice to have a child in the house. They make the best interior decoration of all.

I’m grateful for the five grandchildren who have grown up much too fast. Amber is teaching in a school for students who have trouble learning. Jessie is working towards becoming an occupational therapist and Matthew is a sophomore at Capital. These are Jay and Margaret’s children.

Then there are Darin and Missy’s children. Jackson does wonders in karate, throws discus in Olympics, learned to play the French horn and do

the dancing for the Johnathan Alder band in three weeks time and is now on the school bowling team. This plus moving ahead to the sophomore class for some of his subjects. Maggie is the constant athlete in the family.

She plays softball on a traveling team in the summer, softball in the spring and fall and if there is time, plays basketball. And gets good grades as well.

The last Smithfield Senior Citizen meeting of the year was a luncheon at Frank’s in Bloomingdale. There were 14 present as we have some who are out sick or in the hospital.

My sister, Dorothy Toth, was a guest.

Bernice Francis, president, gave the welcome and presented each member with a gift. A present for special service to the club was given to Carol Kourim for serving as secretary-treasurer for many years. Betty Ruttencutter made snowmen, elves and Santa ornaments for favors and led the group in singing “Jingle Bells.” The next meeting will not be until Jan. 15 with Esther McCoy as hostess.

Our Smithfield Christian Church had a buffet brunch at the Le Chateau Pier last Sunday. Judie Phillippi was in charge of arrangements and there were 24 present. Yours truly had games for all to play and some found the “Well known horses” game hard.

Did you know that Hopalong Cassidy’s horse was named Topper? How about Little Joe’s horse on Bonanza?

It was Cochise. Mr. Ed, the talking horse was really named Bamboo Harvester. Tom Mix had a horse known as Tony and Gene Autry had a horse known as the Worlds Wonder Horse. And its name was Champion. Mary Jane, who was one of our tour directors on Clark Gable bus trips, had this game and many others that baffled us no end.

Have a beautiful time with folks you have not been seen for many months and feel lucky that everyone can come together for a wonderful dinner.

Sex offender applies for judicial release

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Ronald Maxwell, the former Cadiz resident who has spent two and a half years in prison for a 2017 conviction of gross sexual imposition, a felony of the third-degree, appeared in Harrison County’s Court of Common pleas Tuesday.

Maxwell was told that if he did what he was supposed to do while incarcerated, the state would not oppose his application for judicial, or early release, which was confirmed by Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese at Tuesday’s hearing.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey also noted that the stipulation would be that Maxwell be placed on Community Based Control (CBC) sanctions as well as placing him on a program within Eastern Ohio Correction Center (EOCC).

Bruzzese told the court he had made it aware to the victim and family of the hearing and he said they chose not to attend Tuesday’s proceeding.

“The court has also received a report from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction…it appears that Mr. Maxwell has done what he’s

supposed to do while he’s incarcerated,” Hervey explained.

When given the chance Maxwell chose not to give a statement but asked how long the EOCC program would last, to which Hervey told him a “maximum of six months” but that he could possibly complete the program in as little as three to four months.

Hervey also stated that Maxwell’s “significant” alcohol problem more than likely contributed to his crime and a program would also be set up to deal with that after his EOCC program. The remainder of his prison term-one and a half years-would be held in reserve with credit for time served in prison, as well as his for time spent at EOCC. Maxwell will now spend the rest of his incarceration in the local jail until a bed opens up at EOCC. Hervey also reminded all parties that Maxwell has been deemed a Tier 2 sex offender where he is required to register as such for 25 years.

In another case involving rape, Logan Murral, 29, of Dellory, appears to be headed for trial.

Judge Hervey stated that after a pre-trial conference was heard in chambers, no resolution could be found. His attorney Kevin

Harrison Central seniors donate to Cancer Crusaders

By ED BANKS NH Staff Writer

CADIZ - While Zumba music filled the gymnasium at the John W. Stephenson Center this past Saturday, five girls held a bake sale in the lobby.

The girls, all seniors from

Harrison Central, decided to hold the bake sale as their senior project.

Besides holding the bake sale, the girls decided that any monies earned from the project would be donated to the Harrison County Cancer Crusaders. The earnings from

the bake sale would be used to assist any Harrison County resident battling cancer. All of the baked goods sold in the sale came from donations by people from throughout the community.

Making the day and the activities all possible were

seniors Destiny Ash, Marley Basich, Madison Keller, McKenna Mizer and Kaylee Elliott. The girls took their project seriously, and they determined on making the sale and the day a very successful venture.

There were six tables full of

goodies on display and the treats went by purchase or by bid. By the time the sale was over the group had earned $685 dollars for the Cancer Crusaders.

Besides the bake sale, monies were earned from the Zumba class as the participants paid to

take the class. There were fifteen participants in the exercises, and three instructors leading the group. Leading the Body by Bev Studio dancers and instructors was Amber Basich. Basich was assisted by instructors Cindy Francis and Hannahjo Calhoun.

Time capsule discovered during New Rumley UMC renovation

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

NEW RUMLEY – For ages, artifacts have been placed in what was hoped would be a safe storage for future generations to view and learn about the happenings of that century. It happened with the ancient Egyptians, Indians and even Americans.

Two weeks ago, this happened with the New Rumley United Methodist Church when they were upgrading their sanctuary and started dismantling the altar floor that had held clergy proclaiming their message since 1931.

At that 1930’s time, James Thomson, a builder in the area, had done the carpentry work on the church that was founded in 1878. Before renovation in 1931, there was a small stage on each side of the altar. On the left was the piano and to the right was the organ. With the work being done, the workers, most likely with some help from church members, constructed an entire stage that was built higher to be seen by the

parishioners.

Enter Steve Brock, owner of Build-All Co. in New Rumley, and a very active member of the church trustees board. When the decision was done to give the church a new look, they decided to remove the carpeting and the small board enclosures for the stage.

Brock was the one to discover a narrow passageway through the back of the altar and proceeded to reach inside. What came out first were numerous scraps of shredded paper; credit church mice for this dirty work.

Velma Gross and others from the church were called about the hiding place and they came to see the discovery. With a flashlight, Steve could see there were more items in the narrow part of the sanctuary. Out came wooden blocks cut from a board that was too long to fit somewhere and a small tablet-size was cut away.

These scraps were used to the write the name of the church member present and address.

Some were from New Rumley and others were signed simply Rumley.

One block had the name of

Pauline McAfee, mother of Velma Gross. Another had James Thompson, dad of Terry Thompson.

But even more interesting was a large item that was farther back in the altar tunnel. It took a long, thin item to keep moving the curious bundle forward. At last!

The item was revealed and it was a very thick family Bible. And as Steve pointed out, most of the hymnals, personal papers and a newspaper from Cincinnati called “The Classmate” likely from a young person attending school at the Cincinnati College, were shredded by the furry fiends, and that is not a mistake in spelling.

But the Bible was quite intact, although some of the binding was loose. But that was from the 88 years in storage.

Steve’s idea about the Bible was that the church purchased a new Bible for the pulpit and decided to put the older one in the tunnel for safe keeping until the altar was remodeled again in years to come.

“All the other paper was shredded or badly torn in the tunnel but the Bible was

4-H Volunteer Banquet held at HC Fairgrounds

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

CADIZ – Mallorie Dean, Harrison County Junior Fair princess, and Ellis Jackson, junior fair prince, started off the 2019 4-H Volunteer Banquet by standing before the American flag leading in the pledge and the 4-H pledge at the event held at the Harrison County Fairgrounds social building on Nov. 19.

Callie Eberhart, Extension engagement and program assistant, gave the annual 4-H address to the over 50 organization leaders, club advisers and Cloverbud advisors.

She gave recognition gifts or awards to Tillie Heavilin, Green Valley 4-H Club adviser, 4-H committee member and key leader plus making 4-H a part of her youth and teens in the West District for 66 years.

Loretta Pickens, Stitch and Hitch 4-H adviser and 4-H committee member in the North District has been working with the youth and all

of her own children and grandchildren for 46 years.

Both received meaningful gifts presented by Eberhart.

Lois Wright, Country Cousins 4-H adviser in the North District has 40 years, working with family and on her own for 40 years. Doug Caldwell, Germano Community 4-H worked with his parents’ club and on his own in the North District for 25 years. He and other advisers started the Dairy Basket Auction for members who have dairy cows that are not sold on the auction block. Barbara and David Cunningham are a team of advisers with the Green Valley 4-H Club for 25 years.

They are members of the 4-H committee and were on the fair board. Tammy Mizer, Royal Riders 4-H adviser with a club that specializes in horses has been leading youth for 25 years.

Wendy Chrisman, New Rumley Club, worked as an adviser when her children were members and continues to do so. She is a 15-year adviser.

Rebecca Eberhart has been with

the Shamrock 4-H Club, working with Dolores Spragg, a 58-year adviser, for 10 years in the East District.

Carly Carter, Hopedale Town and Country, Aimee Clay, and Abigail Jackson, both Royal Riders; Rebecca Kelley, Cadiz Rangers Club; Emily Shuss, Silver Spurs; and Ashley Stine, Freeport Friends have five years experience each as advisers.

One year advisers are Melanie Cunningham, Country Friends; Kerri Johnson, Cadiz Ranchers; Jordan Shrontz, Freeport Friends; Brandi Stearns, Crafty Country Kids; and Toni Twaddle.

A magnificent 4-H quilt was displayed with the name and emblem of each of the 18 4-H Clubs. Loretta Pickens, who as an adviser of the Stitch and Hitch 4-H Club, was the leader in quilt making for a club quilt to raffle off several years back.

Dolores Spragg, another avid sewer and instructor for 4-H sewing projects was another member of the quilting bee.

Others were sewing on the quilt as well.

untouched. That says something for the Bible,” he said.

The Bible will go into the tunnel again but in a more secure casing and the congregation plans to fill another time capsule with Christian news from the 2019 era, thoroughly secured from mice and dampness as well. This one will have the signatures of the 80 or more members of the church that has been around since 1878.

The new look of the church will be in evidence when the members come back into the sanctuary.

Right now they are meeting in the community room that was built much later than 1913. It hosts the Custer Birthday dinner and the June Custer event luncheon each year and the ladies of the church provide wonderful food that would be befit a group of church ladies.

Going back to the sanctuary again, the stained windows are alive with color when the sun shines upon the glass. The rooms have been painted and other work accomplished that gives the church a new look.

Steve tells that he has the work of the church on Facebook and it is under New Rumley United

Methodist Church. “Now that I am an ad man, I will put my spin on it,” he said.

Steve Brock, Build-All Co-owner in New Rumley, shows the space under the New Rumley United Methodist Church altar and pulpit platform where church members from 1913 placed items of memorabilia for future members to find. He was removing carpeting from the floor of the sanctuary that is being remodeled and found the tunnel that was filled with items from the past. Much was destroyed by mice and time but the Bible placed there was as good as it could be from aging.

New Rumley to celebrate Custer birthday

By ESTHER McCOY NH Contributor

NEW RUMLEY – A 180th birthday celebration will be held Dec. 14 for one of Harrison County’s most notable residents, George Armstrong Custer. An observance dinner is scheduled for Dec 14 at 5:30 p.m. at the New Rumley United Methodist Church.

George Armstrong Custer is the general who was born in a small log home that first served as a hub of travel in New Rumley and was torn down in the 1890s. Another was built on the site and then moved in 1931. Now a Custer statue and Memorial Park with a picture pavilion, created by the Ohio Historical Society, is on the site.

There is a program of the Custer-era held each year and this year the Morgan’s Raid of 1863 will be presented by Lyle Zerla, a resident of Dillonvale.

He is a local expert on the history of the raid that crossed several counties and has been

researching the raid ever since he could read. Zerla has given many talks and tours along Morgan’s Trail through Jefferson and Columbiana counties.

According to Zerla, Confederate Brigadier Gen. John Hunt Morgan brought the Civil War to the North as he raced across Ohio with over 2,000 veteran soldiers at his command. His mission was to occupy and divert the Union soldiers to him, so there would be less opposition in the South and theConfederates could more easily win the war.

The troops entered Ohio near Cincinnati and continued across in a southeasterly manner until reaching the Ohio River. There, under the pressure of Ohio militia, they tried to cross into Kentucky but were stopped and many captured or killed. The remainder, including Morgan, continued north into Ohio.

Their trail went through Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson and Morgan counties until they were captured in Columbiana

County at a small town called West Point. He was confined to the Ohio Penitentiary, where he escaped to the south but was killed in battle there in less than a year.

Rick Williams, the Custer reenactor will host the event, and dinner music will be performed

by Herman Neimayer. There will be the cutting of the birthday cake by Custer and Dave Rose, Custer president; certificates awarded to Golden Sponsors; and prizes drawn for gifts from local merchants.

There will also be a 50-50 drawing.

An auction of donated items from CMA members and local merchants will be held and the cost of the dinner is $15.

Reservations can be made by calling Dave Rose at 740-9453744 or sending a response to the Custer Memorial Association, P.O. Box 111, Jewett, Ohio 43986.

Reservations close on Dec. 8.
