Scio’s new water plant now in operation

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com SCIO – Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh announced that the water treatment plant (WTP) that was completed ahead of schedule in November is, “operating completely on the new system, which is working out quite well.”

Tubaugh is also requesting that all findings and orders “be rescinded as of December 31, 2018,” as the village has done all that was required, according to Tubaugh. He said he expects an answer within one to two months.

“They’re not fast with anything so, if we get anything in 30 or 60 days I’ll be severely impressed with them,” Tubaugh said. “I don’t foresee it but I hope so.”

The EPA also conducted a surprise visit accompanied by Tubaugh, which lasted 40 minutes. He said he explained all the new equipment and how the plant operates. No feedback was provided other than the visit itself.

Tubaugh also strongly suggested that some of the village officials learn asset management under RCAP called, contingency plan training. He also suggested for the January meetings that the old village building be discussed and form a plan on what to do with it.

Also, grant results were expected next week after Tubaugh spoke with officials at Quicksall and Associates regarding the pending Phase II of the Capital Improvement Plan. Another call with them is scheduled for Monday to discuss results and options.

Shell Pipeline handed over $25,000 to the treasurer’s office against any “possible damage to Village utilities for a period of 36 months.”

“I recommend in the future don’t even give a company a chance to say, ‘let me give you a check,’” Clerk Treasurer Trish Copeland told council. “You want to see an insurance policy because that’s going to sit there and it can’t be spent.” When

council member Andrew Turner asked if the money could be placed in a bond, Copeland told him she hadn’t gotten that far yet. She said it has to be put in the village’s fund balance but not in appropriations.

Also, Tubaugh stated that the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit would be submitted sometime in February, or possibly January, at a cost of $200. He also said the clarifier at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) requires maintenance next year.

“The flights, sprocket, chain and scraper will need replaced on the sludge collection system,” Tubaugh wrote in his

report. He added that the village was required to have “portable generator power for lift stations by 2021, as this information resulted from an EPA 2018 report on the WWTP. The subject of cell phones, which as been discussed in recent meetings, was raised again by Turner when he told council that Straight Talk, a brand they had sought, does not allow hot spots.

“So that’s off the table,” he said. He then moved on to T-Mobile carrier and said they would “go under contract.” Mayor Michelle Carpenter suggested beginning with two lines and council member Heidi Trice’s motion was passed.

Vandalism, parking issues head Jewett discussion

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

JEWETT – At last week’s Jewett village council meeting vandalism at the water treatment plant was discussed, which led to the village seeking surveillance cameras to be put in place. Village employee Charlie Harris complained of recurring broken windows at the plant and said something needs to be done.

“We need to look at cameras or something out there,” he told council adding that, “it’s just going to keep happening.”

Council member Paul Prevot estimated that six cameras would cover the needed areas at under $600 to $700, which Harris agreed to the amount of cameras.

Mayor Dwight Busby brought up the issue of needing a monitor for the cameras, which upped the estimate to $800 “for everything.” Treasurer Linda Ager suggested $1,000.

Several council members questioned whether it was worth

Oil & Gas industry comes together for Toys for Tots campaign CADIZ — On Monday, representatives from MarkWest, the Ohio Oil & Gas Association, and Toys for Tots were on hand at the Olive Branch Church in Cadiz to give out toys to needy families.

Mike Chadsey, Ohio Oil & Gas Association Director of Public Relations said “The Ohio Oil & Gas Association and Toys for Tots have been in partnership for the last five years, and what started off with one county (Carroll) and one operator, Chesapeake, has grown to six operators in six counties.” He added that

in Harrison County, MarkWest either contributed money or went out and purchased toys themselves.

Chadsey went on to say that families could register through various organizations, such as Jobs and Family Services, and express a need for toys, and then come to these events where they can pick out what they want for their children. Chadsey said that by getting an idea of how many kids have a need, they can estimate how many toys they need to buy and how best to distribute them. “They say, ‘here’s

how many kids we expect’ and we do some simple math and say, okay, every child is allowed two toys and some stocking stuffers.”

He said that for this event, they expected approximately 357 kids who were going to get toys thanks to the program.

Companies that contributed to this event are: MarkWest, Alex Paris Contracting, ERB Electric, Border Patrol, Easter Construction, Harcatus PAC, Hartman & Hartman, McCarl’s, Sun Pro, and MarkWest employees and contractors.

Adena police working with small departments

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

ADENA – Police Chief Paul Carpenter informed council at Tuesday’s meeting that he’d been to Columbus for a meeting to “bring small towns together.” The gathering was in the name of the Ohio Small Police Department Association (OSPDA) and said it was a new organization. The purpose was for these small departments to share in equipment and trading back and forth.

“Different things we’re going to switch off so we can all work together…,” Carpenter explained adding that grants for new cars would be included.

“So that’s what we’re trying to do,” he said. “It’s working pretty well.” He continued by stating that new and old equipment can be leased for one year, as an example.

“After that year then you get this equipment.”

Carpenter also told council that they need to get their signs in place.

“I can’t enforce the law when people park in places in town where they’re not supposed to if I have no sign saying anything,” Carpenter said referring to no parking or speeding signs.

Carpenter asked about the ton limit in town and if council had made a decision yet.

Discussion continued involving old signs, some knocked down and others that have nothing to do with tonnage. Then Carpenter raised the issue of a RUMA (Road Use Maintenance Agreement). Village Solicitor Adam Martello told Carpenter to let him know who the village needs a RUMA with and Carpenter said he would get back to him, while mentioning two companies and those possibilities.

Carpenter also addressed a problem with juveniles “sneaking into the bars.” He said he’s

trying to protect the local businesses as well as keeping them off the streets late at night. He said he’s received some complaints over juveniles running around in the streets but remarked that the parents of the juveniles don’t seem to care.

Also, Treasurer Bobbie Gaffney told council during her financial report that they did receive an oil and gas royalty check.

“But, it’s already earmarked by the auditors so don’t get excited people,” she told council adding that that money was to go towards the sewer loan.

Another discussion turned towards unkempt property and farm animals running loose.

Council talked about what properties were grandfathered in, which totaled three and that the property owner could be cited for the condition of their property. Carpenter said he could cite the individual for the animals running loose.

Cadiz Business Association picks new leadership

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Wednesday, the Cadiz Business Association met at the Cadiz Country Club for their monthly meeting. The main topic was new leaders and some lengthy discussion ensued over that issue. President Howard Landkrohn was stepping down and in his place, Susan DeMalio was nominated to take his place.

Other positions filled were Joelle Bensie (Visitor’s Bureau) for secretary, Nancy Davis is to remain as treasurer as well as Jackie Hutyera as vice President.

Hutyera added that she would be willing to stay on for a little while longer but plans on retiring shortly.

Three new faces filled the board member roles as Judy Rhome, Kay Moore and Melissa Evick (Jarvis Law) filled those positions. Discussion about who would want to step up and fill the many vacancies stalled a bit when Hutyera stood up and spoke to the audience and laid it out for everyone and what it would mean if there were no CBA to assist the village in community events.

“Is there a will to continue?” she asked naming certain events that would no longer be held, or at least suffer such as, the Recognition Banquet, Christmas Parade, Community Yard Sale and no CBA concessions at the fair, which they rely on for their funds.

Earlier, DeMalio pushed the discussion stating more

Commissioners approve pipeline agreements

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Several pipeline agreements were on the agenda for approval at Wednesday’s Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting.

Commissioner Dale Norris read one for three pipeline right-ofways and the other a roadway easement. The other is between the county and Cardinal Gas Services for the easement dealing with a “well being drilled near the County Home.�

Commissioner Paul Coffland remarked that these agreements have been in the works for about a year and after meeting them on site, some routing was then changed. “They’ve agreed to our price,�

Coffland said followed by the approval of all four agreements.

Doug Crabtree of the county engineer’s office reported that the bid openings from last week regarding the Harrison 17 slip repair have been reviewed. He recommended the low bid of $96,000.10 from Allen Stone be accepted, which the commissioners approved.

Crabtree also presented two Road Use Maintenance Agreements (RUMA) for the

board to approve. Both were requested from Ascent Resources. The first one was for use of 0.23 miles of Harrison 28 in Athens Township. The other RUMA was for 0.25 miles of Harrison 11. Both RUMAs were taking over Hess RUMAs, according to Crabtree. Both RUMAs were approved.

A modification on the WIOA funds was also heard with the Director of the Department of Jobs & Family Services, Scott Blackburn, explaining the details. He said the carry over funds from last year are being added to this year, he explained for the contract revision. “To increase the contract by $50,045, adult funding would be $11,657 and dislocated worker funding would be $38,388,� he told the board. “The increase due to the adjustment in the program year (20)18 estimates and adding in program year (20)17 carry over,�

Blackburn explained repeating the grand total of just over $50,000.

Also, Commissioner Don Bethel said the armory was “still on the burner� for the sheriff’s office to obtain that building on E. Market Street.

Buffalo Bill honors Custer at annual birthday celebration

By ESTHER MCCOY NH Contributor

NEW RUMLEY — William Frederick Cody, known to history as Buffalo Bill Cody, American soldier, showman and bison hunter, was portrayed by Patrick Pinkerton at the Custer Birthday event for its 179 birthday celebration. The boy general from New Rumley was George Armstrong Custer, who was born in the small community on Dec. 5, 1839. The Custer Memorial Association has been observing these birthdays since the 1980s and they continue to meet with great success. Joining Buffalo Bill on the agenda was the long-time General Custer portrayer, Rick Williams of Middleton, who even married his sweetheart, Marlene, in a Civil War military wedding in May 2017. Frank Hilliard, camp commander of McClellan Camp, Alliance, was in military uniform as a commander of the camp also. It was noted that Pinkerton (Cody’s) first portrayal was at the Malboro Volunteers in their ride through history and his career after serving in the 1st Infantry Division in Vietnam was employment as a mail carrier in Medina for 32 years.

He, Hilliard and Williams are members of the Custer Memorial Association. Williams began as a Civil War re-enactor in 1999 when he joined a cavalry unit near his

Hopedale looking into raising tap-in fees

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com HOPEDALE – The subject of water tap-in fees was discussed at some length Wednesday evening in Hopedale. Mayor Mike Pelegreen asked if the village needed an ordinance passed in order to raise the fees, which were recommended by the village board of public affairs (BOPA).

The suggested rates listed by BOPA are as follows: - ž inch tap-inside meter installation: from $1,000 to $1,500.

- ž inch tap-meter pit: $1,200 to $1,500.

- 1 inch tap-inside meter installation: $1,200 to $1,700.

- 1 inch tap-meter pit: $1,400 to

$1,700.

- 2 inch water line & cost of 2 inch material: $1,200 plus costs. Also, sewer taps would cost $2,000 per tap.

Council member Willie Luther questioned the rationale for raising these fees. He told council he wished to see a “price breakdown of what it’s costing us to put in these taps.� “Because we are already significantly higher than anybody else around us,� Luther stated.

Pelegreen answered that through a study it was showing that what the village was currently charging was putting them in a hole. Luther said if he could be convinced that is what it costs he would be “all for it.� “But we’re supposed to make our money off once we hook these

people up, not make a killing on these taps,� Luther explained.

Pelegreen said a study had already been completed and told the village that there was “no way that you’re making any money on what these prices are right here.� He added that the last tap-fee raise was back in 2008.

Pelegreen stated he would give the document to Village Solicitor Jack Felgenhauer for drawing up an ordinance. Luther repeated the fact that he would be behind the rate hike if the costs for implementing the system justified the rise in fees, but not if there was a wide margin in the two.

Pelegreen said they would get together with BOPA and necessary people to confirm the figures that were listed.

Also, council member Ron Hawkins confirmed that the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) would be sending equipment and manpower for the 151 project, which includes cross cutting, new sewer lines, new catch basins and a 24-inch culvert. He said the village would only be responsible for traffic control.

Hawkins also thanked all village employees for the good job they’ve done the past year.

Council also discussed buying a new laptop for the office. Treasurer Denise Geanangel quoted a price of $380 plus the cost of a driver, which could boost the cost to around $600. Council approved the purchase of the laptop.

“She loved this community, and it makes sense that she would find a way to leave the kind of legacy that would help nurture and sustain it well beyond her lifetime. Her generosity was always inspiring."

Marcia’s gift benefits Harrison County through the Harrison County Community Foundation (HCCF) at the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO). Founded in 2012 to create opportunities throughout Harrison County by investing in the county’s nonprofits, schools, and communities, the HCCF was an excellent fit for Marcia, whose love for and roots in Harrison County ran deep.

With a gift in her will Marcia ensured that the good work she did throughout Harrison County would stretch far beyond her lifetime, allowing the HCCF to continue that work on her behalf. And that’s part of why the HCCF was created: to give more people who love Harrison County the ability to give back. The option to leave a bequest through one’s will is often an easy way to do just that.

Before the establishment of the Harrison County Community Foundation, many charitable gifts were leaving the

community. Residents who wanted to give back to the community had to identify outside partners for help.

Today, HCCF offers community members like Marcia the ability to give locally.

Through her will, Marcia will make a difference in Harrison County with each grant the HCCF makes moving forward.

Because her gift was committed through HCCF’s Puzzle for Prosperity campaign, it will be endowed to make grants forever.

Today, the HCCF is able to make about $1,000 in grants annually and they ensure these small dollars make a powerful impact. Grants have helped send every child in grades K-3 home with books for the summer so they could keep learning all year long, provide eyeglasses to students with families facing financial hardship, and support the delivery of care packages for troops overseas. So, imagine what $40,000 in grants per year could make possible.

That’s the goal of the Puzzle for Prosperity campaign –to raise $1 million in endowment funds by 2022 so that more than $40,000 per year can be invested in Harrison County.

This amount will only increase

as the endowment grows through investment and additional gifts. These dollars, Marcia’s gift included, will directly support a variety of projects advancing arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environmental stewardship, and health and human services in Harrison County.

"Marcia was a champion for her community, who understood that if this region is going to advance, it’s going to require the generosity and commitment of its residents,� said John Tabacchi, a Cadizbased lawyer who knew Marcia all her life and worked with her to draft her will. “Marcia wanted to leave a gift that was flexible, broad in scope, and able to benefit her community directly.

As a fund representative for the Harrison County Community Foundation, I suggested the HCCF, and it turned out to be a great match. By leaving a planned gift with the HCCF, Marcia was able to build upon her commitment to her community by helping to ensure that Harrison County has the resources necessary for success.�

In this way, Marcia’s legacy of generosity will continue to provide a “breath of fresh air,� inspiring growth and positive change at the local level.

Although Marcia Bedway originally intended to return only temporarily to her hometown of Cadiz, Ohio, she soon discovered a powerful sense of community and belonging in the Appalachian town. Marcia, a renowned businesswoman, came to dedicate herself to her community in Harrison County through regular volunteer service. This included giving her time to the annual Christmas parade, the garden club, and the Cadiz Business Association. Her dedication, combined with her warmth and gentle spirit, led one of her fellow community members to describe Marcia’s return as a “breath of fresh air.�

Marcia loved participating in something larger than herself by supporting her community.

That’s why, as it came time for her to consider estate planning, she wanted to find a way to serve her community beyond her lifetime, in perpetuity.

When Marcia passed away in 2017, she left a generous gift to continue her work of making a difference in Harrison County. “Our family didn’t know that Marcia had left a gift to the Harrison County Community Foundation, but none of us were surprised,� said Barbara Bedway, Marcia’s younger sister.

County CIC provides end of year updates

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The abandoned gas station on U.S. 250 that has taken much of the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation’s (HCCIC) attention over the past several months is still moving forward in a positive way. Attorney John Tabacchi provided yet another update at their Tuesday meeting held at the Puskarich Library in Cadiz.

Tabacchi stated that an engineering firm has begun work on testing the site and would know if they were to receive a grant in “three or four months.” He said once that is done then look for another “three or four weeks to get the whole project completed.”

“Once it’s completed it will be transferred back to the CIC, the CIC will transfer it to the county…” he said then the decision of what to do with the property will be made. They all agreed that the hard part was behind them.

Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen reminded the board of an article in Under Construction covering Harrison County titled: “Eastern Ohio the new petrochemical hub.” He said this is helping to put Harrison County “on the map” beyond the local coverage.

“We got some good feedback from that as well,” he told the board. He added that the piece

unexpectedly turned out to be the main article and was a pleasant surprise.

Under New Business, an issue was raised regarding a water leak in Piedmont.

County Engineer Rob Sterling stated that, “when a leak doesn’t surface it’s real tough to pin it down.” He said that workers have been out there every day and are working on the problem.

Homrighausen reported on the Buxton report, the company they have contracted with in identifying areas within the county that may be ripe for development. He said out of 20 locations, three were followed up with calls and “potential site discussions.”

“Obviously, looking forward to the other 17 that have been identified to get back to us with some dates and times that work for them…”

Homrighausen explained. He added that through much research and data collected since last summer this has helped move things more quickly than they had anticipated. He said he hoped there would be more to report for the meeting in January.

Homrighausen stated they also hoped to re-establish the Rural Industrial Park Loan Fund (RIPLF) that had been discontinued. He said it ended around the “mid-2000s” to aid rural areas for purchasing and development.

“And eastern Ohio is still lacking in available sites that are conducive for larger

projects, or even smaller commercial projects that are shovel-ready or have water and sewer to them,” he explained.

“We’ll probably be making some trips in the first part of next year with APEG (Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth)…” he said referring to Columbus to meet with legislatures in getting that fund back off the ground.

He said that the RIPLF could greatly reduce cost for eastern Ohio development.

Doug Crabtree updated the board on Next Generation 911, which he said was moving forward. He said Harrison and Carroll Counties “finally got through working with Frontier (Communications).”

“We had to work with the state department administrative services and the attorney general’s office and get them engaged…” he said regarding Frontier and AT&T and getting them “in gear.”

Crabtree added that Next Gen 911 is scheduled to be online by “mid-February.”

He said this PILOT program would help with a number of enhancements for both Harrison and Carroll Counties.

Also, Sterling announced that the plans for Foxes Bottom had been approved by the EPA and could possibly be advertising for bids by next week, if the commissioners approve. Sterling said that the project was funded by OMEGA.

The Meadows of Cadiz holds open house CADIZ - The Capital Health Meadows of Cadiz Winter Wonderland event had a steady stream of visitors throughout the evening of Dec. 12. Meadows administration officials were introduced by Nancy Felton, community marketer. They were Jamie Herald, administrator in

training; Nicole M. Loar, firstyear director of nursing; Susan Ziler, hospital liaison; Rachel Cronin, activities director; and Lita Moore, admissions.

Felton thanked all who came out and said there had been a name change to the facility, change in staff and changes in

the building.

"We are redecorating the memory care unit, the only locked unit in Harrison County. There are things on the walls that can be touched as the patients pass by and will be gardening, just as some might have done in their earlier years."

RUMAs and roadwork head Commissioner’s meeting questioning whether Hess’s original RUMAs had been released. Crabtree said Hess’s RUMAs were released in 2017 and met all their “obligations there.”

Crabtree said Ascent was requesting a RUMA of 0.28 miles of Harrison 38 for access into three wells. The second request from Ascent was for 0.3 miles of Harrison 3 and another 1.53 miles of Harrison 2 for access into their Ace well site.

One other RUMA request was from Chesapeake Exploration requesting a temporary agreement to use roads in Franklin and Washington Townships to repair a slip on Norris Road.

Crabtree said Chesapeake’s wish is to build a well pad that is beyond the slip and when that is repaired, they will revert back to their original agreement.

“The good news I have is County Road 24 out of Tippecanoe is open,” Crabtree told the board.

Also, Commissioner Dale Norris read a request from Harrison County Public Transit (HCPT) for an advance in the amount of $150,000.

“I will second that,” Commissioner Paul Coffland said, “but I will make comment.

We’ve looked at this and kind of gone round and round and it’s not something I personally like to do, or want to continue to do and expect that the public transit board, their director can provide us with some explanation going forward.”

Coffland said the transit board meets later this month and expects some feedback then.

Norris stated the reason for the request was in order for HCPT to pay bills.

to do during church functions, which it was suggested adding stipulations to the sign itself.

Another concern was with cars parked there during snow plowing season, as Harris noted.

Busby said that until they place another sign in that spot then the village would not be able to take any action.

“It would take one sign to solve that problem,” Busby stated with Harris adding that the village has some extra signs in storage. After discussing the various stipulations Meneely suggested a no parking sign “except for church activities,” with others agreeing to the idea.

“Parking for church activity only,” Meneely said. Village Solicitor Jenna Host said it could be done that way but that would make her job difficult trying to verify if the person parking there is actually involved in church activities.

After further discussion, no motion was made on the matter.

Also, Clerk Treasurer Linda Ager set the temporary 2019 budget at $951,800 with potential revenue at $1,240,919. She emphasized that this was the temporary figures with a permanent budget to be passed in January. Ager closed out with a few more items where she informed council they owed the engineering firm they’ve been working with, E.L. Robinson, one more check in the amount of $3,000, which she said would close them out for the year.

Another item she addressed was that their State Asset Reserve (STAR), investments were doing “really good.”

“I do want to take another $200,000 and put it in STAR,” she told council, followed by a motion, which passed.

Busby also announced an OMEGA meeting to be held at the Jewett Wildcat Center, on Dec. 19, at 6 p.m.

just the same people, though Landkrohn stated that their numbers have grown in the recent past.

DeMalio also suggested adding area bands for Sally Buffalo Days, which Harrison Hills Board of Education Superintendent Dan Snider

felt was a good idea. Though, she added that that would be strictly up to the band director and not her.

Another idea she had would be to make announcements at the high school football games in advance of area events.

The entire lanes erupted in applause as Hudson scored the last strike to ensure the 300point game for the Huskies.

“That’s the way bowling is,” Parkinson noted. “You cheer on every single bowler, opponent or team mate!”

Other scoring on the day was as follows: Boys varsity H.C. 2739 - Garaway 2102. High individual scores - Trevor Thompson 234 & 244, Jacob Hudson 203, Hunter Stark 188, Logan Cologie 183, Nathan Willis 182.

Huskies hardwood season tips off

By D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – Through the first two games of Harrison Central’s 2018-19 season, fans could be thinking they watched two different teams, and no we aren’t just talking about the home and away uniforms. Last Friday night, the Huskies blew the doors off the Bellaire Big Reds, wrapping up their home-opener before the first quarter had even ended. Four days later in their first road trip of the year, those same Huskies who dropped 97 marks on the Big Reds in a 64point blowout, shot an icy 30 percent from the floor and fell to the Martins Ferry Purple Riders 63-55.

While the competition was certainly at different levels, (Purple Riders 2-0, Big Reds 03) it was evident the formidable Huskies didn’t take their Agame with them to the Purple City. Popular picks in many circles to contend for the Buckeye Eight and the OVAC crowns, the Riders and Huskies will link up again in January to round out the second half of the season series.

In the tip inside Tolbert Gymnasium this past Tuesday, the Huskies took advantage of the Purple Riders sluggish first quarter start, as the early moments saw the Huskies run off to a lead that grew as high as seven. However, the middle frames were not friendly to the visitors. After closing out the

Lady Huskies defeat Jets in Morristown, improve to 2-2

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

MORRISTOWN - On Thursday night the Lady Huskies defeated the hosting Lady Jets by a score of 4437. In getting to that final the Huskies would end the opening frame ahead by a score of 17 -11.

Though trailing the Huskies, the Lady Jets never gave up all evening. They would be persistent on both sides of the ball, but at the half the Huskies would enjoy a 24-16 lead.

Returning for page 3, the Jet’s persistence payed off, as they climbed back into the game and managed a 1-point lead at 28-27. The lead would be short lived as Harrison regained the lead at 31-28 just before the horn blew.

The Huskies lead would now be permanent as time became a growing worry for the Jets. With a 3-point advantage (40 to 37) with just under a minute to go, Union Local was forced into foul mode.

Harrison’s Sydney Starr added 4 charity

points during the lapsing time to keep the Huskies out in front. She would finish with 14 points, which was a game high scoring total.

Close behind Starr was rising star McKayla Dunkle.

Dunkle booked a doubledouble with 11 points and 15 boards. Britton Positano who also has a lot to offer in the future had 6 points, and finished ‘even-steven’ on the night with teammate Lexi McAfee. While the Jets dropped to 1-2, the Huskies are now 2-2 on the young season with the win.

Harrison East opens 2018 -19 spelling bee

By ED BANKS NH Staff Writer

HOPEDALE - On the morning of Dec. 7, Harrison East Elementary held the 201819 Harrison Hills School District’s Annual Spelling Bee. The contest featured 22 of the school’s students and was held inside the school's gymnasium.

As the contest opened, it became evident that the participants did an amazing job

of studying and preparing themselves for the event.

Following 26 intense and competitive rounds of spelling, the champion was announced.

Receiving the top honor was fifth grade student, Ember Davenport. In addition to the champion, the top eight finishers and two alternates will continue to compete at the next level. That next level will be the Harrison Hills District Spelling Bee. The District Spelling Bee will be held

on Jan. 9 at 6 p.m. The students who will be moving on include: Kaila Walker, Roni Banks, Brady Moss, Keterah Ghezzi, Nicolette Peeler, Logan Milliken, Jacob Quito, Rylie Burdge, Avri Puskarich and Ember Davenport.

Harrison East voiced their pride for all 22 students who put forth the time and effort needed to prepare for the bee, and wished luck to those competing at the next level.

HUSKIES

From PREVIOUS first eight minutes with a 16-10 lead, Head Coach Justin Clifford’s unit was outscored 2410 in the second, and things wouldn’t get any brighter after the halftime intermission. The Huskies’ late first half struggles followed them into the locker room and onto the court after the break, as the Purple Riders again bested the Huskies in the third, outpacing the visiting bench 13-10.

Ferry’s lead was pushed to as many as 17 in the quiet minutes of the fourth quarter before the Huskies locked back in very late in the contest. Senior Payton Taylor and sophomore Gavin Muckle would both bury triples in the closing moments, but the Huskies would creep no closer than six down the stretch.

Muckle finished with 15strikes, as seniors Evan Stine and Caden Dalton finished with seven and six respectively. Taylor and Cruz Capers added a treyball each. Leading all the Harrison scorers against Martins Ferry was sophomore standout Kobe Mitchell. Mitchell paced the Huskies on the road with 19-points, but it is what he did at home against Bellaire that should have Harrison fans looking forward to this season’s

7 potential.

The Big Reds walked into a buzz-saw last Friday night, and Mitchell was at the controls. If it seemed like it was 12-0 before second year Bellaire Head Coach Ben Doyles’ squad broke a sweat, that’s actually because it was. The Huskies raced out to the commanding double digit lead to open the action, and it just so happened that Mitchell had done all the damage, scoring the first 12 points of the ballgame. The sophomore ran up 17-tallies in the first eight minutes, and the Big Reds couldn’t do much but watch as he landed the Huskies on a 264 lead at the end of the frame.

The second quarter played out much like the first, with more Huskies joining in on the scoring frenzy. Muckle and Stine dropped six each in the quarter, and Cale McAfee added a long ball to compliment another seven points from Mitchell. All told, the Huskies were running the fresh wax off the floor by halftime, leading the visiting Big Reds 52-15 at the break.

With a score like that coming into the third, the Harrison faithful got an extended peek at the very promising future of the program, with a whole host of Huskies shining in the second half. Clifford saw seven of his guys’ find the bottom of the net in the third, highlighted by two

triples from Stine and one each from McAfee, Taylor and Muckle.

Cruz Capers showcased his ability to be a strong two-way player, forcing a slew of turnovers while registering 12points on the offensive end.

Young post players John Vermillion and Sam Santille also got into the mix, pairing up for a combined six points in the fourth quarter.

With nine players in total cracking the scoring column on the night, Clifford got scoring production from nearly every player dressed on the bench.

Mitchell finished with a gamehigh 28-points. Stine turned in 17, and fellow senior Caden Dalton tossed in ten to join the quadrant of double-digit scorers including Capers. McAfee and Muckle fed the rim for nine points each as well, and Payton Taylor’s six marks rounded out the score sheet.

The Huskies will have their work cut out for them this weekend, as the neighboring rivals in St. Clairsville (2-0) will make the trip up Route 9 to the John W. Stephenson Center.

The upcoming pre-holiday and holiday break stretch includes a trip to Union Local on the 18th , a tip with Linsly at the Buckeye Eight Challenge (at OUE) on the 22nd, and a date with Indian Creek at home on the 28th.

IN MEMORY

In Memory of Gordon E. Liggett Born January 23, 1941 – Died January 1, 2017

So he put His arms around him, And whispered, “Come with me.”

With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away; Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest; God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the Best!

Sadly missed by: Wife Loraine, Mike, Dave & Lori, Sarah, Ellyn & Collin, Audra, and all family & friends.

Area musician honored at Nutcracker Village

DILLONVALE - Music has been a big part of the life of Walter Jancura Sr. since his youth and his family felt he should be awarded for keeping polka and waltz music going in the Dillonvale and Smithfield areas through his teen age music with Norman Sempierek. They played at school dances and other locations.

Then when his children, Frank, Suzanne Smarrella and Wally Jr. were old enough, the youth, along with their mother, Georgianna started playing as the “Polka Jacks” and could be

found at Dunkles Restaurant, at the International Mining and Manufacturing Festival, Smithfield Apple Festival and other occasions around the area.

Wally Sr. was famous for his great accordion music, while his children played other instruments.

They wore authentic looking Polish outfits that Georgiana made for appearing at the IMMF Festival, as she was a great seamstress.

Since the Nutcracker Village came to pass at the Fort Steuben Park and Historic Center, the children discussed the desire to commemorate their dad with a

Nutcracker. Wally Jr. was the originator of the idea but all heartily agreed. It isn’t as easy as just telling the committee you want a resemblance of a person made into wood. It has to go through a Nutcracker check.

When the children learned that dad had been approved, they had to show a picture of the accordionist. This was done and the Nutcracker came to life.

Now to introduce Wally Sr. to his look-alike and how to do it?

They had to get Frank to come in from Mount Vernon and grandchildren home form college and other locations. This was a surprise to the elder Jancura when relatives started

showing up at the assigned restaurant. Then a suggestion was made to stop down and see the nutcrackers, with Jessica Smarrella, granddaughter, giving a plea to grandpa.

Inside the Nutcracker Park, they had to look cool as they strolled around and then came face to face with someone who could be recognized with an accordion in hands. Wally Sr. was taken by surprise but was even more surprised when a relative pulled up a chair and an accordion and started to play. It was a son who had never touched those accordion keys before Sept. 2018 and wanted to surprise his dad.

Santa visits School of Bright Promise Santa Claus and a few of his elves gathered a little early at the School of Bright Promise during the annual Christmas lunch provided by the Steubenville Lions Club on Dec. 5. Students and staff enjoyed a roast beef meal and received gifts from Old Saint Nick, who had some assistance from the Harding Middle School Leo Club. Pictured with Santa are, from left, Leo Club members Antonio Lulla, Sophia Riley and Cooper Blackburn and Bright Promise preschooler Sophia Jobes.
