Cadiz looking at large budget deficit

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The 2021 budget that Village Administrator Ted Andrzejewski and Clerk Treasurer Amy Ossman have been working on is not looking good for the village of Cadiz.

At last Thursday’s council meeting, Andrzejewski said they were looking at an “anticipated” deficit of $314,000.

“We will need to make up this deficit as well as decreasing the 2021 budget by this amount or more,” he wrote in his report.

Andrzejewski stated that this deficit was not the result of overspending or a

lack of budget control but rather a result in the decrease in income tax collection due to the COVID epidemic, which resulted in loss of jobs and the closure of businesses earlier in the year. Andrzejewski said he hopes to see an uptick in the economy when things get back to normal but some of those effects are still ongoing.

“The Village also had no reserve money to fall back on,” Andrzejewski wrote adding that some cost-saving measures were presented to the finance committee last Tuesday.

The issue of the police officers being able to take their vehicles home was also addressed again but briefly.

Andrzejewski found that the village

would be covered through their insurance if an accident occurred to and from work. Nothing was decided on the matter, though.

Rent increases at Sally Buffalo Park were also discussed, which Andrzejewski called modest. He said the village hasn’t had a rate increase in this area since 2017, which he said what they’ve decided to increase now would come to 2.5 to 3 percent per year since 2017. Those rate increases include: Weekly seven day camping from $160-$185; monthly campingseasonal from $500-$550; monthly camping (winter rates), from $600$650; seasonal camping (non-lake), $1,260-$1,410; seasonal camping

(lake), $1,380-$1,530; big barn rentalno change.

For “paid in full rates”: Seasonal camping (non-lake), $1,025-$1,175; seasonal camping (lake lot), $1,150$1,300. Rental rates for Wallace Lodge are: Weddings, $500-$650; family reunions, $200-$300; birthdays, $250$300.

For “Day Meetings,”: November 1 to March 31, $200-$225; April 1 to Oct. 31, $150-$175 and “not for profit,” $250-$275.

Council Member Terry Capers acknowledged the “modest” increases and told council the village should not make money off the park and that it should be self- sustaining. Council

Jewett Police haul in possible Fentanyl during bust

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison County Commissioners on Wednesday entered into an agreement with Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP), of Freemont, to conduct data collection and mapping coordination “with state and federal agencies.”

The contract is to last one year (Dec. 9, 2020 to Dec. 9, 2021), and the amount is not to exceed $8,500.

The responsibilities are broken down into two parts with the first one being the data and mapping and the second stage, a final environmental report.

“The contractor cannot begin work on the environmental report until the following information has been provided by the client,” states the agreement, which includes a preliminary engineering report for water or sewer infrastructure or, “preliminary architectural report for a community facility project.”

Commissioner Dale Norris, present via teleconference, asked Commissioner Paul Coffland where they stood with the application process. Coffland said there were a few things to take care of before sending the document to the firm handling this project, Bricker & Eckler “and we’ll go from there.” The board then voted to approve.

The agreement also states that GLCAP will not be responsible for any other study such as, wetland or archeological, if required. Data collection and mapping was designated at $5,500 and the remaining $3,000 of the agreement covers the “Final Environmental Report.”

Rural Development is expected to complete a review of the draft “within 60 days.” The agreement also states that the county (client) is responsible for full payment regardless if the grant is awarded to the county.

Member John Vermillion suggested that the $150 raise for the monthly seasonal camping (lake and non-lake) should be broken up over a two-year period. After his motion council agreed to break up the monthly seasonal increase by $75 for 2021 and another $75 for 2022 to make up the $150 raise. “…I don’t want to hit them all at one time so, we’re still going to get to the hundred and fifty dollars the park board approved, it’s just going to take a year to get there,” Vermillion explained.

Rescue workers work tirelessly to rescue survivors and those who succumbed to the tragic Nelms Mine explosion.

Remembering the Nelms Mine tragedy

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

CADIZ (UNIONVALE) - Just like the attack on Pearl Harbor, in 1941, there are young people who still might remember the Ohio and Pennsylvania Coal Company Nelms Mine explosion. It was their dad, uncle, brother or cousin who was underground at work when it happened.

This is its 80th year commemoration for the biggest historymaking disaster to hit the mining industry during that time.

It happened on a cold Friday on Nov. 29, 1940, at 1:20 p.m. This was after miners had opened their lunch pails to have a bite to eat and go back to work.

Young children of the workers did not realize the ramifications of this tragedy, only that their parent was not coming home. Ones in their teens knew because some were also working in the mine but not that day. There would be

the loss of a bread winner.

Gas is believed to have caused the explosion when it tore through the underground area and seemed to reach a high point near the main entry where it took the lives of 31 workers. There were more than 100 workers elsewhere in the mine but no dust explosion followed into their area and spared their lives.

Rescue squads came from many areas, and adverse conditions were encountered at first, as all available air was forced into the wrecked section and heavy falls slowed the work. The first body found was Pete Speicher of Cadiz, near the telephone shack talking to those on the surface. It was evident the explosion had been terrific at that point. Debris kept falling even though a power loader was put to work.

The air pressure was falling quickly and gas came about

JEWETT – Police Chief Ron Carter announced at Wednesday evening’s council meeting that a drug arrest had been made inside the village park.

Carter said the arrest of Craig William Grimes, 30, of 41655 Rumley Road East, Jewett took place on Dec. 3.

The actual arrest was made by patrolman McMahon during a routine traffic stop just off of East High Street. According to Carter, McMahon noticed “suspicious behaviors” and after a request, was given consent to search the vehicle prior to the arrival of a K-9 unit.

Upon searching the vehicle a digital scale used for drug weighing was found along with a bent spoon that included burn marks, numerous used syringes and one “loaded” syringe.

Carter said the loaded syringe would be sent to BCI for further analysis.

Carter said that Grimes, who has two outstanding warrants for him in Franklin County for narcotics use, admitted to previous Fentanyl use.

Grimes was to be transferred to authorities in Franklin County where they will have first crack at the defendant. Carter stated this was an isolated incident and credited a heavy police presence in keeping drugs, especially Fentanyl down in the village of Jewett.

“We’re doing a great job in keeping narcotics out of town, as far as we can see,” Carter stated.

Carter commended McMahon “for doing an excellent job in helping to combat the rise in drug activity that’s plaguing our society.”

Carter also said they are stepping up their presence due to the recent activity at this time but repeated that he still felt this to be an isolated incident with the possible Fentanyl as it “won’t be tolerated here.”

fast. Workers were cleared out for four hours, then a rock fall covered the loader. Rescue crews went to work with their bare hands where the explosion took place trying to reach Number 2 location that ran parallel, making for more rapid progress.

Eleven were located together after about 1,300 feet of digging. By all accounts, they were killed by the concussion and the intense heat that seared their skin and hair.

The crew of deceased went to the surface in pairs in coal cars at 4 p.m. A temporary morgue was in the blacksmith shop nearby where friends and relatives made identifications.

Mining identification tags seemed, the easiest way in some cases. The metal tags are put in the coal car they fill to show the amount mined. Once identified, they were taken to prepare for burial.

Number 4 crew members were found in separate places at different times, most on Sunday or Monday Some were dead at their work places where the gas was extremely bad and the task of removing them was delayed.

Six were found on Sunday and the others couldn't be reached until the next day because of the gas. The waiting of the families

had to be terrific, wanting to get word and getting nothing.

Crews had to travel 2,000 feet to reach the Number 4 crew in a roundabout way. Footing was treacherous in the 100 foot area and the ceiling was so bad it could have fallen any minute.

All but two bodies had been removed but it was almost another day before they could go on the quest for the bodies of Byron Griffith and Robert Dinger. Griffith was found late Tuesday and the search went on for Dinger, believed to have been covered by a heavy fall of rock for days.

An O&P Coal Co. plaque bears the picture of one of the miners and it reads "On Nov. 29, 1940, 1:20 p.m., an explosion went through the Nelms Mine,, claiming the lives of 31 miners". It ends with "Come Unto me all who labor and I will give you rest,” from Matthew 11:28. It was donated by the Harrison County Historical Society.

Speicher was 16 when he became a miner. Sedgmer was in World War II at age 17 and military honors were given at the Cadiz Christian Church.The last of his children was only 2-weeks-old. Prather had taught school and Bernard came from Darby, Scotland.

Jarboe was with the Nelms Mine since it had opened. Frank Mazeroski and Bernie

Mazeroski were brothers and a double funeral was held. Edgar Marchbank was 20 when he died and had just been married.

Courtville was from Belgium and lived in PIney Fork, Dinger, the last of the 31 found had not been recovered yet on the Wednesday after the catastrophe. Many funerals were held in the homes.

Some workers missed the explosion. Wesley Campbell, boss pumper, left the mine shortly before noon for a 40th anniversary dinner. Less than 2 hours later he returned to the accident. If he had not left for the dinner, he would have been one of the deceased. Meryle Hagen surveyor, and his helper, Curly Kirkland, had just left the doomed section before the explosion.

The Harrison County Chapter and American Red Cross were on hand and prepared 180 gallons of coffee, 1,776 sandwiches from 875 pounds of meat and 148 loaves of bread, and 56 gallons of vegetable soup.

Financial aid due to the dependents was speedy in getting its start. A crew from the Industrial Compensation Commission arrived at the American Legion rooms and began at once clearing claims on Monday and compensation was allowed to the Spiecher family on Tuesday.

Flags were at half mast through the week at the Harrison County courthouse and the school.

Those who perished were: Pete Specher, Lewis Sedgmer, Dan Smith, Ed Prather, Ora Farms, John Bernard, Francis Wood, Harold Jarboe, Clifford Rayl, Emerson Howes John Mattern, John L. Smith, Robert Browning, George Dowdell, Frank Mazeroski, Bennie Mazeroski, Homer Knox, Edgar Marchbank, Jesse Rayl, James Hauber, Leonard Fannin, Steven Nameth, Jr., Joe Hornyak, Byron Griffith, David McIntyre, Andy Marcus, Julius Courtville, Robert Dinger, Alfred James, Michael Finn and William Carr.

There were 135 workers in the mine at the time of the explosion; 104 escaped uninjured but this was a fateful year in the mining industry as on March 17, 1940, 72 workers perished at the Hanna Coal Co., Willow Grove 10 mine.

Harrison Hills holding steady through COVID crisis

The News-Herald is publishing Letters to Santa in our Dec. 19 edition.

The deadline to submit your letters is Tuesday, Dec. 15.

CADIZ – With hospitals being pushed to the brink with COVID patients and the country facing another squeeze in our way of life, Harrison Hills High School has been running fairly smoothly, said Superintendent Dana Snider.

She said she’s not surprised about the low infection rate at the school, considering experts have been saying that students have not been the main target of the coronavirus.

“We’re doing okay, I’m not going to complain. We’ve been able to keep going,” Snider said this week. She said this includes around 75 percent of her students that attend in-person classes, which leaves the remaining quarter percentage with online classes. She said dividers are now in most classrooms and desks have been spaced six feet apart to help further separate students, as well as not allowing visitors into the school, as was the practice back in the spring.

Snider said for students up through the sixth grade the teacher changes classrooms but the students remain in the same room. Elementary students also eat their lunch in the

classrooms, further separating them from the rest of the school preventing the students from bunching up inside the cafeteria. She said grades seven through twelve are split between the high school and elementary to help in safe distancing.

“We’re hoping this clears up in the spring to everyone comes back to school,” Snider said.

Regarding bussing, temperatures are taken from the students before boarding. Seats are also assigned and students are split up there as well with only family members being allowed to sit together.

“A lot of people are bringing their children to school,” she said as one alternative in keeping up with safety measures. Snider said she doesn’t think COVID has caused that much of a change, at least at Harrison Hills with a “few cases here and there,” and quarantining when necessary.

Regarding the Harrison Community Hospital, what happens there in conjunction with Wheeling Hospital could affect Harrison County’s region (Region 8) and COVID patients concerning the alert level, which Harrison remains at Orange. Harrison County Health Administrator Garen

Rhome spoke briefly regarding Harrison Community Hospital (HCH) at Wednesday’s commissioner’s meeting. In order to free up space at Wheeling Hospital, some nonCOVID patients from there are being sent to HCH. “I can’t speak to their capacity…but that’s what’s happening locally, regionally here…” Rhome explained stating that when COVID patients remain at Wheeling Hospital and don’t need to be moved elsewhere, they will then need more space, as the reason for moving those non-COVID patients to HCH. Rhome said he would look into further details on the death ratio, averages and comparing local numbers to the rest of the country and hope to have something for next week’s meeting.

The Harrison News-Herald reached out to the Harrison Community Hospital concerning the COVID effects on their operations and HCH Administrator Tony Martinelli responded via email.

“The staff at HCH is doing a tremendous job handling this pandemic and I could not be more proud. As a community hospital our mission is to be a resource to the community. We

have completed over 3,000 COVID tests for community members and continue to be ready to serve.” Martinelli did confirm that HCH has begun taking some non-COVID patients from Wheeling Hospital when necessary.

“We have begun taking a limited number of nonCOVID transfers from WH and we have staffed up to ensure that we are able to take more should the need arise,” Martinelli explained.

HCH personnel also addressed the effects the COVID epidemic has taken on the hospital’s day-to-day operations.

“COVID has certainly affected our day to day operations. With the increase of numbers means an increase of phone calls, ER visits, telehealth visits and more,” Randi Peck, Director of Infection Control explained. “All of our employees are working diligently to not only keep each other safe, but to provide safest and best care possible to everyone that walks into our facility. We have been and will continue to take every precaution that we can to ensure that this continues to happen.”

No movement in Farnsworth case

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Samuel Farnsworth, accused in the murder of Sherry Lynn Shrieve back in the spring did not appear via videoconference on the record.

His attorney Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola spoke to him

briefly and said his case was being worked on and hoped to have him back next week. At this time, it’s not clear what would be the bigger surprise, Farnsworth pleading to a deal or charging forward with a trial.

He is being held on $2 million bail and a charge of murder one.

As of now, though, Judge T.

Shawn Hervey has vacated all near-future trial dates because of Governor Mike DeWine’s health order on mass gatherings, as it limits that to 10 people or less.

John Burgess, facing two charges of gross sexual imposition, both felonies of the fourth degree, did not appear due to medical reasons and was rescheduled for Jan. 12.

There was also no movement in the case of Richard Jones, facing a felonious assault charge, a felony of the second degree.

Also, Jason Appleby, represented

by Pincola told the court that his client wants a trial in no uncertain terms. Appleby is facing a failure to comply charge, which in his

case is a felony in the third degree.

Prosecutor Lauren Knight told the court that their offer was for 18 months of prison time and added that, Appleby was not “inclined to accept any prison time, at least at this point.”

Judge Hervey repeated the COVID restrictions and stated, as he had last week, that he did not anticipate any jury trials until February.

Three drug cases are still ongoing with Rachel Price of Jewett, Jennifer McKeown of Akron having their cases heard.

Knight did not object to a recognizance bond for McKeown but it was revealed that Price had tested positive for methamphetamines and Knight asked for a $20,000 bond and she was taken into custody. Terry Frye of Flushing, is facing aggravated possession of drugs, a felony of the third degree and possession of cocaine, a fifth degree felony, will be taking an Ohio Risk Assessment (ORAS).

Also, Jeraud Rupp of Tippecanoe, facing aggravated possession of drugs, failed to appear.

Jewett discusses old road agreement

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – The village of Jewett, which has an agreement with the state of Ohio in which they receive a certain amount to take care of Ohio 151, was discussed. Mayor Dwight Busby noted a 1992 ordinance stating the agreement where the village receives $3,000 from the state but any amount beyond that the village is responsible for.

Council Member Rick Meneely suggested they void the agreement because he felt it is costing the village money as the amount paid is not nearly enough to take care of that portion of the road that runs through the village.

Busby said the state was looking to update the agreement or, basically renew it. That’s when Meneely offered to make a motion to void the agreement.

“It costs us money,” he told

Busby. Other members thought the amount was $4,000 but Clerk Treasurer Linda Ager said it was much less than that.

“Right now, if somebody comes through here and tears up the road we’ve got to fix it because it’s in the corporation,” Meneely explained. “The storm drains, everything else…that’s all on us for a lousy three grand a year? All they do is plow and salt.” It was also noted that the state still has to pave the road when necessary as well.

“I’d say it’s a benefit unless I’m missing something…” Meneely said when Ager asked about the effects of voiding the agreement.

Council Member Bo Bailey read from the agreement stating that the state would “continue to perform markings and signing (signs) work” for “allowing the possibility of entering into agreements for items such as snow and ice control.” Bailey then noted that the state emphasized the village

was responsible for maintaining issues outside those said items.

“But they made it abundantly clear that outside these items the village of Jewett is…responsible for the maintenance of the roadway…such as drainage, structures, conduits, ditches, pavements including patching maintenance and repair,” per Bailey’s reading of the agreement. He also included guardrails, vegetation and sidewalks as well, which the village is responsible for.

Busby reminded council that the state does take care of the signs but others agreed that since it’s a state route, they should have to.

“Personally, I think we ought to void it if possible,” Meneely repeated. “That’s just me.” He said he didn’t have a problem with going into an agreement “for” (with emphasis) ice and snow control but mentioned the “three-way stop to the top of the hill” as a problem.

“It’s still a state route they can’t not take care of it,” Meneely continued. “This here was a bad deal,” again referring to the old agreement. “I mean at any time it could cost us five or ten thousand dollars for repair on this road.”

Council decided to wait until they confer with Village Solicitor Jenna Hokes before making a decision on the matter.

Also, Clerk of Water and Public Affairs Rhonda Harris, for her regular RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency) report, stated that the month of November’s village income tax take was minus 9.5 percent, “which is about forty-six hundred dollars below last year.”

She said around $44,364 had been collected.

She said for once there were no water customers shut off but had 62 late charges adding up to $535. Also for November, the water take was $11,717,19 and

wastewater came to $11,256.40 for a total of $23,773.59.

Clerk Treasurer Linda Ager informed council a revised budget for 2020 was necessary stating “there’s a big decrease in revenue that’s coming in...” She attributed that to the village’s loans. After revising the end-ofthe-year budget, she announced it at $4,373,100. Ager then announced the 2021 budget as, $2,272,100 and emphasized this

Adena facing water-sewer financial crisis

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

ADENA – Mayor Brenda Roski read to council at Tuesday’s meeting past raises for their water and sewer department after new Clerk Treasurer Denise Geanangel told council she was concerned over OWDA (Ohio Water Development Authority) funds.

Then she added that raising the water and sewer rates might be inevitable. She later explained that the village has two OWDA debt repayment funds and both are operating in the red.

When asked Geanangel said a $10 per month raise would take three years to get out of the negative “in this sewer loan repayment fund.” Council Member RJ Konkeleski called it a double-edged sword where people who can’t pay their bill now will be joined by more people who might not be able to pay after raising the rates.

“But I understand it’s got to go,” He said then asked if TriCounty Water Authority raises the rates, “what are we supposed to do, we’ve got to raise it.”

Roski said part of the problem is the village is not raising rates and each month is taking a toll,

on top of the fact they’re not shutting water off to delinquent customers.

Geanangel said after reviewing loans not paid on past work, one was for $93,000 in the red just for sewer.

“And that doesn’t fly, it’s got to come back,” she told council.

“And I can’t even make the upcoming January loan payments to OWDA out of these funds, I have to get special permission to pay them out of the…water and sewer funds.”

She said the UAN (Uniform Accounting Network) system will not let her work with “negative numbers.”

When Roski asked her if she was going to run the general street and sewer funds in the red so the village could not spend money, Geanangel said she would not “transfer unless it’s absolutely necessary.” She said an advance into the water fund was supposed to be paid by the end of this year “but the money is not there.” Roski said former Clerk Treasurer Cynthia Hunter attempted to have that taken care of when she went to the water board “but it didn’t work.”

Geanangel later explained that “bad fiscal management from years ago was the culprit and Hunter was in the process of

cleaning that up since the beginning of the year before having to retire.

Geanangel said that January payments for each of the funds is approximately $3,000 and felt the village would be able to manage that.

“So if everybody tightens up we can make this work,” Geangel said then brought up the issue of raising rates and confirmed that she was suggesting raising them for water and sewer. Council then briefly discussed how to lessen the shock and possibly not raise them both at the same time.

Roski then gave a brief recent history of raised water rates in the village where she saw a $23.25 raise since 2016.

“But we only raised sewage by the same time nine dollars,” Roski told council. “So no wonder there’s a problem.”

Geanangel said sewer was in worse financial shape than the water. It was understood by council that raising the rates for water and sewer was inevitable and only by how much was left to answer.

When Roski asked what the minimum could be for raising rates and what she would prefer, Geanangel said $20 but acknowledged that wasn’t

“feasible.” She repeated that a $10 raise would take the village three years to get out of the red.

Roski said no one wants to do this but also understood that the alternative would be for the state to come in and take over the village if they didn’t get their finances under control.

“It’s going to happen if we don’t take care of this,” Roski said. Geanangel said some people think the state taking over during a fiscal emergency is a way out but she said it is not.

She said settling for a $10 raise would address the two OWDA loan funds but “I’m not talking about general operating.”

Roski said she wanted the finance committee to meet and come up with a plan in time for the next meeting. She also went as far as forcing a motion saying council was committed to doing so in order for the record to show that the mayor and council, was taking action.

as a temporary budget and not the actual.

Also, Bailey sent thanks out to Border Patrol for putting up playground equipment at the village park. He said it was all volunteer work and looked “really great.” Bailey said he and the village appreciates what they’ve done and mentioned Jeremy Yeager of Border Patrol in thanking him as well.

COVID funding abundant, grant money tight in Scio

By BONNIE RUTLEDGE The balancing act of budgeting in Scio continues to be a spectacle. Still with $24,000 of CARES Act money unspoken for, Scio looks to purchase a police cruiser within legal restrictions of the COVID-19 relief fund. This purchase item must be accounted for in December before the next meeting. Since that money can only go toward COVID-19 related issues, the storm sewer separation project at the 646 intersection does not qualify as an approved item for CARES Act money. Scio anticipates a decision on December 16 from other grantors to learn whether they can move forward with the

project or not. With the majority of the project funded but a looming deficit of $250,000, Scio may explore loans should the grant not come to fruition.

New COVID-19 procedures have been instituted in Villageowned operations as the water treatment plant and wastewater treatment plant are both sanitized daily and employees enter the facilities at different times to limit contamination.

The municipal building was professionally cleaned on December 4th and 9th, including the duct work.

Sanitation equipment was received and distributed to the water treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant,

Village office and garage. Leak detection equipment was approved and purchased with CARES Act funds.

As for upkeep, The reported holes in the roadways will be patched with bagged hot mix until spring. New water meter installation has been reported to proceed well and meters remaining for residents outside the Village limits will now happen on an appointment basis. The Village of Scio is looking to fill an operations and maintenance employee position.

The office is open to the public by appointment only until further notice due to the pandemic and will be closed Dec. 24 and 25 for the Christmas holiday.

SMITHFIELD

BY Esther McCoy When our children were born, I gazed at them and wondered where life will take them, how well would they treat others and many other thoughts. Now that mine are grown up, I learned how our second son, Jay, would take over his deceased brother’s deep caring and kindnesses that a young husband, father and bread winner sometimes didn't find time for. He has surprised me many times by coming to the Harrison and Jefferson county fairs and even seemed to enjoy it. He has been known to shake his head when he sees that we are going over our planned budget in buying livestock from 4-H members. Jay does little surprise things that Larry would do, such as give a present for no reason, call and laugh with me over things that happened through the week and most of all coming in from Delaware, Ohio, I add the Ohio because some of my friends assume he moved to the state of Delaware. I told him it was confusing and he just said, "You are going to have to learn to deal with," with a laugh. My birthday was last week and he asked what I wanted and I said $25 of postage stamps. I heard the phone get very quiet but then he asked, "Why would you want that?" I explained that I was the card-sending queen of all my friends. I send for all occasions and no occasions. There arrived in the mail, a nice card.

The stamps and a phone call on my day. I thought that would be it but the next day, he pull into the driveway just past noon, bearing a huge red, poinsettia and said, "We are going out for a birthday dinner." As usual, we indulge in funny antics that have happened during the week and he doesn't even insult me with Steeler comments. He and his dad have plenty to talk about with the Browns and their hopes for them to go far. And I leave them alone in their hopes and dream I know I don't have to wonder anymore how one will turn out. God planned that out well.

How many people get excited over chestnuts roasting over an open fire? The one time we were given a small bag of chestnuts, I encountered a squirming worm in each one. Not too much to get excited about over that. Maybe it was just a bad batch. What is your favorite food that you don't find in the grocery store any other time of the year? I'm going to hear a big UGH over this one but mine is plum pudding. My dad was part English and he wanted a homemade one with hard sauce that wasn't really hard and I often wondered why it was called plum pudding when there was not a plum in sight.

We have not been having services at the Smithfield Christian Church this December but our pastor, Wilford Simeral, has been calling us and checking in each week. We have members over 60years-old and don't want to bring on a health problem. As Presidentelect Joe Biden stresses, it is best to stay out of public places at this time.

Myself and many other Lion Club members were overwhelmed when Lion member Ben Battenburg won and without a

second thought, turned the 50-50 money winnings, amounting to $760, over to Susan Nolan, Buckeye North Elementary principal, a Lions Club member as well. He stressed that it is to be used for students in need in the school. That is a lot of money to pass over to someone but I am sure there will be those who receive his kindness will be thankful.

Noah gave up two Saturdays (one in deer season) to come in and volunteer to help with the work that was needed at the society.

A look back at the Duncanwood miners

Duncanwood Miners. Picture from Karen Gammeter. Duncanwood was a group of houses built for the workers at the mine. There was a post office, a school, and a company store. It was the second town in size in Harrison County, with 235 houses, including the houses of the miners who were employed by the Short Creek Coal Company, the Somers Mine and the Goodyear Mine. It contained the largest supply store, the Shortcreek Supply Co. Store in Harrison County. The population was estimated to be 1300. The town is on the 1920-19301940 census but was gone by 1950. Everything disappeared when the last mine, the Goodyear Mine was closed in 1949. The Goodyear mine supplied coal for the Goodyear Tire Co. in Akron Ohio. Information from a donation "The Goodyear Mine and the Families that Lived at Duncanwood, Short Creek Twp., Harrison Co. OH" to the HCGS from Lori and Glen Baker.

businesses are: The Stand on US 250 by Coultrap's 330-204-9407; Deersville General Store 740-8274203; Bosler's Honey Bees and Accessories 330-401-5889 and the Hayseeds Homesteader Trading Post 740-491-2835. Stop at the Deersville General Store and get something to eat and some ice cream, stop at Bosler's and take a jar of honey home, stop to pick out some treasurers at the Hayseeds Homesteader Trading Post. Don't forget to stop at "The Stand" and try some of their delicious food.

Always check out Facebook for "happenings at the hall", Deersville General Store, Community Fire Department, Community Theater, Hayseeds, Deersville UM Church and Bosler's Honey Bees and Accessories.

The Deersville Community Garden Club cancelled their Christmas covered dish. It was best to not take a chance with this uptick in Covid 19. The group will not meet now until April 2021.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the garden club members.

And the garden club says Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the village of Deersville and the surrounding area.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Harrison Central bowlers sweep Red Riders and Jets

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - The Harrison Central varsity bowling teams completed a match with Martins Ferry last Saturday with both the boys and the girls teams emerging victorious. The match, which was a partially rescheduled event, was played on Wednesday in St. Clair Lanes, and concluded at JD Lanes in Cadiz on Saturday.

The girls defeated the Lady Riders by a score of 1815 to 647. During the match Ferry would field only three girls, while Harrison rolled with five.

High individual scores for Harrison were Cami Basich 202, Tory Thompson 192 & 162, Aleyna Runevitch 168, Karlea Thompson 159, Lauren Best 136, and Alexis Lishick

118.

In the boys competition, the Huskies laid down 2049 pins to Ferry’s 1540. The high individual scorers in that portion of the match were: Zachary Keyser 252, Trevor Thompson 204 and, Nathan Willis 192.

“The J.V. bowled and got some match action to see what it all consists of,” said coach Bobbi Parkinson. “Some nice scores that finished above their average were rolled by Garet Cain 139, Peyton Roski 123, Grace Cain 99 and Caden Anthony 96. We are beyond proud of our Harrison Central Husky bowling team!”

On Wednesday, the Huskies were in St. Clairsville to take on the Jets of Union Local. The outcome of the match again favored the Huskies, with both

the varsity girls and boys collecting wins. The score from the girls match was Harrison 1866 and Union Local 1775.

High individual scores included: Cami Basich 200, Aleyna Runevitch 166, Tory Thompson 159 and Lauren Best 136. For the boys, the final pin count was 2276 to the Jet’s 2128. High individual scores included: Trevor Thompson 209 and 227, Zachary Keyser 198 and 192, Nathan Willis 196 and Corey Hayes 148.

In the junior varsity match the score was Jets 1693 and the Huskies 1074. High individual scores above average included: Garet Cain 144, Caden Anthony 110, Peyton Roski 106 and Grace Cain 92. “It takes the entire team to pull together for the win, and show true sportsmanship,” Parkinson said.

Pictured: 92lbs, Austin Fulton, 1st Place; 104lbs, Kenny Keffer, 3rd Place; 110lbs, Beau Rinkes, 3rd Place; 122lbs, Andrew Cox, 3rd Place; 128lbs, Leland Lopez, 1st Place; 160lbs, RJ Hendershot, 4th Place; 160lbs, Marcus Hilbert, 3rd Place; 205lbs, Landen Thomas 1st Place.

Mitchell, Carman seals All-Ohio Football bids; Arbaugh, Pauley, Bertolino, Hutton earn Honorable Mentions

By ED BANKS

NH Sportswriter

CADIZ - The annual Ohio prep school sportswriters have announced the results of the polling in naming the 2020 AllOhio 2020 Football Players.

Locally and area wide in Divisions IV and V, a total of eight players were named to the distinction. Among the eight, two Harrison Central players were honored. Kobe Mitchell and Trevor continue to garner attention for their performance this season, while Cabot

Arbaugh, Ron Pauley, Nathan Bertolino, and Parker Hutton drew Honorable Mentions.

Mitchell had another good season for the Huskies. He would earn First Team All-Ohio honors behind a passing record of 132 completions of 213 attempts. The receptions racked up 2, 058 yards and netted 21 touchdowns. In addition, with his legs he posted 659 yards and 11 touchdowns. With 213 attempts through the air, he remarkably had only five picks.

Carman earned a Second Team All-Ohio honor while pulling in

55 of Mitchell’s passes. The swift receiver would total 939 yards through the air and post 11 touchdowns.

Honorable Mention Honors went to Cabot Arbaugh for his work on the Oline; Ron Pauley would draw attention for his work on the Dline and pocket an Honorable Mention. Nathan Bertolino earned an Honorable Mention for his hard work as a linebacker; and Parker Hutton joined the All-Ohio Harrison Central players with an Honorable Mention as a DBack.

Two taken to hospital after accident on 519 HARRISON COUNTY – A two-vehicle accident on Ohio 519, just several miles off the main intersection in New Athens, resulted in two adults being transported to the hospital. The accident occurred around 3 p.m. when a dark colored Chevy Malibu was traveling east and collided nearly head-on with a white Lincoln SUV. Both vehicles were totaled with severe damage to the front part but the Malibu had more damage to its front grill. The male driver of the Malibu said he was only riding at about 25 miles per hour and did not see the Lincoln at all. He appeared shaken up but okay. He

suspects the driver of the Lincoln, heading west, was traveling much faster, suggesting a speed of possibly 55 to 65 mph.

“I don’t know where they came from,” he stated after providing a report to an Ohio Highway Patrol trooper. Hopedale and Harrison Community Hospital were on scene with each service taking an injured Lincoln passenger and driver. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office also had a deputy on scene.

Traffic was blocked both ways for at least an hour. No report as to how severe the injuries are at this time.

Good News

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

Fully God, Fully Man

Residents recognized for property cleanup Council Member Dan Ossman recognized local residents who have done the job in cleaning up their property over the past year.

Last Thursday, he recognized Mike and Rene Banks for the nice work they’ve done on their property. He thanked everyone in Cadiz for their efforts and called the Banks’ work outstanding.

Ohio's Successful Deer-Gun Hunting Season Results COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio's hunters harvested 71,650 whitetailed deer during the annual gun hunting week that concluded on Sunday, Dec. 6, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Over the last three years, hunters checked an average of 65,566 deer during the same weeklong period.

Deer hunting in Ohio has come a long way since the first gun season in 1943, when only three counties were open for hunting and 158 deer were taken. Today, deer hunting occurs in all 88 counties and an estimated 310,000 hunters participated during Ohio's weeklong deer-gun season.

"Ohio's storied deer-gun hunting week continues to be popular with many hunters," said

Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker. "The Ohio hunting season has changed over time.

Fewer people take a deer with a gun today when compared to the hunting seasons from the 1970s and 1980s. Regardless of harvest rates, surveys show Ohio's deer hunters still participate during this week, whether they serve as mentors or accompany friends."

The top 10 counties for deer taken during the gun week include: Coshocton (2,281), Tuscarawas (2,198), Ashtabula (2,167), Muskingum (2,085), Knox (2,006), Guernsey (1,890), Licking (1,875), Carroll (1,664), Holmes (1,648), and Ashland (1,536). Coshocton County also led the state in 2019 with 2,325 deer checked, while hunters took 63,567 deer statewide.

In 1969 when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon there were some that said that “the planting of human feet on the moon was the greatest event in human history.”

No, the greatest event in human history is when God came to earth and planted his feet here. It’s known as the incarnation, the birth of Jesus the Messiah, God becoming human.

Philippians 2:6–8 says, “Even though Jesus already existed in the form of God, He did not consider equality with God something to be grasped but emptied Himself of all God privileges by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born as a man and humbling Himself by becoming obedient to the

point of death on a cross.”

Just a quick note on the term “bond-servant”, that’s when, in those days, you offered yourself as a servant for life because the master treated you so well that you didn’t want to serve anywhere else. Jesus offered himself to his Heavenly Father and now we offer ourselves to Jesus for life because he treats us so well. Psalm 103 says, “He does not treat us as we deserve.”

His mercy is new every morning.

So, here we are in the Advent season leading up to Christmas day and again find ourselves discussing one of the great mysteries of faith, the incarnation, Jesus being fully God and fully man. Just a tad

hard for some of us to wrap our head around. Jesus is one person who has two natures: a human nature and a divine nature.

Remember Jesus sleeping in the back of the boat? That’s human. Remember him getting up and rebuking the storm and the storm was no more? That’s divine. Jesus hungered after 40 days in the desert. That’s human.

He raised Lazarus from the dead after four days in the tomb.

That’s divine. But, and this is so important, Jesus does not have a sinful nature, and he never committed sin even though he was tempted in all the same ways we are. That is the life changing truth that sets Christianity apart from all other religions.

Jesus isn’t just pretty close to being a lot like God or someone

who was very spiritual, He is God. Jesus told Phillip, “When you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father.” Hebrews 1 says, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of his nature”, this is why it is so appalling when cults and new age thinkers in main line denominations demote Jesus to some sort of groovy prophet who had some really cool ideas.

Jesus was fully God, fully man and the only Messiah. Scripture declares it.

As we continue to celebrate Advent’s theme of waiting on the birth of the Messiah, let’s lift Jesus high. He was born to save us and was born of a virgin.

Why is that so important?

More on that next week…
