COVID cases continue to spike, county remains Red By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Last Wednesday the county recorded 71 new cases of COVID-19, which was down from the weekly record of 91 just the previous week. Those numbers also catapulted Harrison County into the alert status of Red for the first time. For this week another 71 cases were reported including four new ones by end of Wednesday. Harrison County Health Administrator Garen Rhome said at

Wednesday’s commissioner’s meeting that a key fourth indicator had been tripped last week, which was the seventh: “Flagged if percentage of the occupied adult ICU beds in each region goes above 80% for at least three days in the last week, AND more than 20% of adult ICU beds are being used for COVID-19 positive patients for at least three days in the last week.” Rhome stressed the need to continue avoiding person-to-person interaction, as well as any gathering that doesn’t necessarily have to be very large, as he explained in last week’s meeting. “For residents, for county, for the

community it means we want to take our mitigation efforts and our awareness and our vigilance up yet another notch,” he stated. The good news is that 62 more individuals recovered for a new total of 327. But with that comes some bad as Rhome announced four additional deaths as the result of “complications related to” COVID-19. This brings the total to 10 deaths in the county now that have been connected to the COVID virus. Rhome said these latest deaths were related to a long-term health care facility for two of them (two additional deaths were recorded later

on Wednesday). In cases per 100,000 population Harrison County actually moved up from a ranking of 30 in the state to 21 with 1,050.5 cases per, which was 817.8 just last week. In comparison Rhome said that Harrison County’s ratio is worse than Cuyahoga County, which is 1,024.8. The ranking of 21, though, was through Nov. 12 and Rhome later stated that a new set of numbers were released on Dec. 15 showing that a new two-week period dropped the county down to 35 with an occurrence rate of 984 cases per 100,000.

“I’m trying to scare you a little bit,” Rhome told Commissioner Don Bethel after the commissioner asked the question half-jokingly. “It can’t be understated,” he told the board. “The increase in spread and the amount of spread in our community.” He said Harrison County moved out of the top twenty-five percent but it was only because the spread of the virus was worse in those other top counties and not because Harrison was improving. For some perspective of how bad it

Commissioners approve another step in new jail project, say it will be built to facilitate any emergencies, anything that comes into the sheriff’s office and nine oneone center.” Carter told the board more equipment would be coming along later to what’s being agreed upon now but he called this agreement the “key piece” with getting the actual radios in place. He said a recording system also comes with this allowing the recording of all radio channels where an emergency could be reviewed “instantly.” Carter said if the agreement is signed by Jan. 1, 2021 it would save the county $62,927. Maintenance from years two through five comes to $186,095 bringing the total cost of the project to $589,999 for the next five years. The commissioners wanted clarified that having three stations doesn’t mean three are needed. They wanted to know if a third person would be hired “just in case” they’re needed or hired regardless. “We’re not hiring anybody, we’re not

CADIZ – Wednesday, the Harrison County Commissioners approved $403,904 worth of new MARCS (MultiAgency Radio Communication System) equipment to service the new jail at the armory on E. Market Street in Cadiz. Kyle Carter of Motorola, appeared before the commissioners to secure the agreement. He explained that the 911 system would be moving out there as well and with that comes a new radio system, which the commissioners later approved. “It’s going to expand the current nine oneone answering positions and radio answering position to be able to run three dispatchers at a time,” Carter explained. “Currently we staff two dispatchers twentyfour seven…” and stated that if there is something additional going on such as a storm, a third dispatcher has to work around the other two. But with this agreement Carter stated that they would now have “three fully operational positions

Oil & gas prices up in 3rd quarter, revenue rises By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com HARRISON COUNTY – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), upon the release of the third quarter oil and gas production (horizontal), revealed that oil rose by an average of nearly twelve dollars compared to the second quarter (Q2) and gas by almost thirty cents. The July through September numbers are based on the average of oil and gas and only as a rough estimate. Every month of the third quarter (Q3) saw oil prices over forty dollars beginning with July at $42.07 and ending at $40.6 for September. August saw the highest price since the first quarter at $43.44. Second quarter prices never rose above $39.46 for June reporting. Gas prices also rose in every month of the third quarter compared to the second. September saw the highest price ($1.92) since the first quarter and the average price of $2 also topped the first quarter’s best average of $1.91. The second quarter’s average came in at $1.71 and never climbed higher than May’s $1.75. The third quarter rebound showed itself in Harrison County’s oil production where it topped the second quarter by 157,000 barrels and gas by more than 60.5 million mcf (one thousand cubic feet)(oil based on YCharts and

natural gas based on Henry Hub). Looking at estimated revenue Harrison County pulled in $84.5 million compared to $56.1 million from the second quarter. Natural gas was also up but by a much larger figure: $211.9 million in Q3 versus $77.7 million in Q2. In breaking it down by township Notthingham drew the most barrels with over 430,300 followed by North (379,800) and Monroe (322,200) and Franklin (320,200). In natural gas production Green Township produced the most with 23.4 million mcf followed by Washington at 16.6 mcf. The remainder of the townships all produced nine million mcf (Athens, Cadiz, German) or below. Total barrels of oil from the county for Q3 were just over 2,010,000 and 105.9 million mcf for natural gas Total oil and gas revenue came in at $296.4 million in Q3 compared to $133.8 million in Q2. As far as Severance Tax is concerned the estimated return for oil was $201,000 in Q3 versus $185.3 in Q2. For natural gas the difference was more significant with Q3 coming in with $2.6 million versus $1.1 million in Q2. Indications are that these figures will only

Kids send Christmas joy to military By ESTHER McCOY CADIZ - The Harrison County military and some from nearby counties will receive boxes of various goodies, games, hats, socks, books, sports equipment and even letters from pupils in the first, third and fifth grades from the Harrison Elementary School. These were gathered together by the Snyder children, Hunter, 11; Brinn, 8; and Max, 6. They are the children of Tom and Stephanie Snyder and grandchildren of Vicki Snyder and Ellis and Donna Fulton.

This is not all the children have done to bring joy to the military recipients. They worked through the spring and summer, taking care of small plants they put into the soil and cared for during the growth period. When the veggies reached the ripened stage, they picked them and prepared them for selling to regular seasonal customers and at their home. This money was put aside until the holiday season was near. Then it was off to the shopping malls to buy sports

has gotten in the county Rhome said that near the beginning of November the county was “sixth from the bottom” in those same rankings. He said at that time Harrison’s occurrence rate was just 319 per 100,000. Rhome also covered a question from Bethel that was asked at last week’s meeting and that being excessive deaths beyond what was expected. From January through October the United States experienced an extra 299,0000 deaths where they take the average of the previous five years. “So, the information and the data is out there to take a pretty good look at these un-COVID related excessive deaths, many of them are probably also COVID related,” Rhome explained. Rhome also addressed the vaccinations, which are intended for mostly staff, residents and patients in the beginning and tabbed as Tier-1. He said that should be expected in the next two weeks. “The finish line here is about ten miles down the road but we can actually see…the beginning of an end,” Rhome said after describing the early vaccination protocol.

climb as the first two months of Q4 are looking the same with oil and much better for natural gas. Oil’s price for October was $39.90 and $42.30 for November but gas was up to $2.39 for October and $2.61 for November as both months were higher than any month in Q3. Comparing Harrison County’s

He said they have been working closely with the health department in regards to storage concerns. He said they’ve been receiving a lot of Personal Protective Equipment lately but he also said planning was in for vaccination storage as well. “I think the frustrating thing for all of us at the state’s, the local and the federal level is this is what they call fluid situation,” Wilson said. “And that’s a nice term for it can look one way in the morning and a different way in the afternoon and it’s very frustrating for all of us…” In looking at the death ratios, Ohio is still at 1.3 percent as was the case last week but that is down from 1.8 percent from two weeks ago. Pennsylvania is at 2.5 and West Virginia is at 1.5 percent. The United States is at 1.8 percent for the second week in a row and on the world level, that number is also the same as last week, 2.2 percent (all figures attributed to the New York Times). Also, the commissioners will be meeting on Monday, Dec. 21 instead of their usual slot on Wednesday.

The Snyders, along with grandmother Vicki Snyder, came into the Cadiz Firehouse social room toting a bag filled with all their purchases. They have learned what a great feeling it is to be thoughtful of others. There were many lady volunteers and a few men who were packing all the goodies to go for a merrier Christmas for their boys. There were many tables laden with the donated goodies to be put into boxes and shipped off to those who cannot be home for Christmas. Some of the ladies included Edie Stream, Carla Thompson, Sarah Snyder, Nancy Pulka and Betty Fledderus.

rough estimate in revenue to the neighboring counties (Belmont, Carroll, Guernsey, Monroe, Noble) Harrison was second only to Belmont ($410.9 million). Noble County was the least at $38.7 million. Belmont County also took the top spot in Severance Taxes ($5.1 million) with most coming from natural gas. Only Monroe County was above one million ($3 million) as they also produced more natural gas than oil revenue.

Encino Energy partners with Jewett Food Pantry and Harrison Hills Schools LOUSIVILLE, OHIO – Encino Energy, its employees, and Universal Pressure Pumping, Inc. made donations supporting several organizations in Harrison County this holiday season. For the second consecutive year, Encino partnered with the Jewett Food Pantry, supporting their holiday food drive with turkeys and nonperishables, as well as vouchers for those in need to purchase local milk and meat. “Our food pantry program is a ministry to the citizens of the community, and we just appreciate everybody that shares that mission with us, and we thank Encino Energy’s willingness to support us again,”

said Janet Arbaugh, Treasurer, Jewett Food Pantry. “We are overwhelmed with the generosity of the people willing to help us.” Encino’s Director of External Affairs, Jackie Stewart, advised that Encino increased its annual holiday giving throughout eastern and southeastern Ohio to support communities in Carroll, Harrison, Stark, and Jefferson counties in lieu of its annual employee Christmas dinner. These efforts are providing hundreds of warm coats for kids, significant food pantry donations, and hundreds of bottles of hand sanitizer to local school districts. This year Encino partnered with one of

the Company’s vendors, Universal Pressure Pumping, Inc.to provide bottles of hand sanitizer to Harrison Hills City School District. Universal provides pressure pumping and reservoir enhancement services to Encino Energy’s drilling operations. “Universal Pressure Pumping, Inc. is proud to partner with Encino Energy and Harrison Hills City School District to provide hand sanitizers,” said Jamie Gordan, Sr. Business Development Representative, Universal Pressure Pumping, Inc . “We value our relationships with our customers and our communities and treat them as partners.”

This is the second annual donation to the Jewett Food Pantry and first partnership that the Company has made directly to the Harrison Hills City School District. “We appreciate the ongoing relationship we have with the community in Harrison County and communityminded vendors, such as Universal Pressure Pumping, Inc.,” said Jackie Stewart. “We continue to see the value in working together toward a common goal to lift up the communities in which we live and operate—this is really what the Encino Community Partnership Program is all about.”

Common pleas court carries on amidst COVID spike By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison County Common Pleas courtroom was not as busy as has been the case in the past few weeks. And even though the county has ramped up its alert status to Red, a little more than a handful of cases were heard, though mostly via video conference, which has been the norm though this pandemic. There was also another nonappearance by murder suspect Samuel Farnsworth. There’s been no movement in the case and what was thought to be headed to trial, seems irrelevant now since there will be no trials any earlier than February. Judge T. Shawn Hervey had to remind another defendant that there would be no trials even scheduled earlier than February, especially with the county now

in the Red status. The most serious case that was heard came from Michael Graham, the Wintersville man who had served time for a burglary, felony third degree charge. Hervey announced that the state had also filed a motion to revoke his Community Based Control (CBC) sanctions. The reasons cited were that he failed to report to the probation department, nor did he let authorities know where he was from March to November of 2020. Graham stated that he wished to proceed in his case without an attorney. The possible penalty for Graham, who appeared via videoconference, was 12 months, which was the remainder on his original sentence. When Graham told the court he thought he only had seven months left on his original 24-month sentence,

Hervey corrected him and said he’d already received one year’s worth of credit. Hervey entered a plea of denial on Graham’s behalf and would set a date for an evidentiary hearing. Prosecutor Lauren Knight asked the state for a $100,000 bond citing Graham’s past probation violations, plus the fact that after the warrant was issued back in June, he was not apprehended until just last month. Graham spoke on his own behalf regarding bond and told the court that he’s been clean since January and offered to be tested after court to prove it. He said he was in the process of moving to Harrison County back in March but Hervey basically told him that didn’t answer for the reason it took till November to find him. Hervey sided with the state’s request for the large bond.

Christopher Daniska, 35 of Jewett, reached a plea deal with the state where he will serve the remainder of a thirty-day sentence, which would end on Dec. 24. Daniska, who appeared via videoconference from the Jefferson Justice Center, pleaded guilty to theft, a felony of the fifth degree. He still has an eleven-month suspended sentence in case he does not stay out of trouble. Daniska, who was represented by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola, said that Tuscarawas County has a holder on him and may pick him up as he’s being released from Harrison County. Daniska was also hit with two years of CBC sanctions and to complete any program that is recommended to him.

Bowerston Council discusses cash payments BOWERSTON - At the December meeting of the Bowerston Village Council, the acceptance of cash payment for utility bills and park building rental was discussed. With the implementation of a check scanning/deposit machine it was agreed that cash payments were currently the only reason for employees to travel to and from the bank. Mileage reimbursement was discontinued, after Jan. 1, 2021, at the November meeting. Council discussed the cash

payments and agreed that because of both the discontinuation of mileage reimbursement and difficulty of handling cash, cash payments would be discontinued after Feb. 1, 2021.

Sec. of State LaRose warns of email scams COLUMBUS – Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is alerting Ohio businesses about a phishing email that started today and warning recipients not to click a link in the e-mail alleging to be from the Ohio Secretary of State’s office. The e-mail is not from the Ohio Secretary of State. The e-mail appears to tell

recipients that they must click a link to “validate” their profile so they don’t experience any delays in service. The clicked link then asks detailed information to be submitted, including the individual’s social security number. Secretary LaRose became aware of the e-mails on Monday afternoon. A screenshot of the e-mail can be seen below. “It’s so important for Ohioans to be good caretakers of their personal information,” said LaRose. “Scammers are always working to find new ways to make a buck. Don’t give them the upper hand -- verify the source of e-mails before sharing

your personal data.” Anyone who has received this e-mail should immediately delete it. If you clicked on the link, it’s recommended that you swiftly inform your company’s Information Technology office. The Secretary of State’s business services division can be reached at Business@OhioSoS.gov or 877767-3453 (877-SOS-FILE). While the Secretary of State’s office does occasionally communicate with registered businesses in Ohio, they will never send an email with a link requesting personal information such as social security numbers.

From PG. 1 doing anything else,” Carter told the board adding that with eight 911 and eight administration lines, two people are operating those 16 lines and with a third, if needed, can just log on and lessen the load on the other two. Emergency Management Agency Director Eric Wilson was present to address the expense side of what his office must handle. He said the total side of expenses comes to $873,056.11 and added that the project could extend beyond 2021 due to the COVID circumstances. Wilson also addressed the

revenue side with $90,000 coming from the state of Ohio (surcharge) and another $513,352.18 (approximate) from the 911 levy for a total of $603,352.18. And funds through two sources called U91 at $794,533.59 and U92 at $248,255.22 add up for a total of $1,042,788.81. Wilson stated that with their projections, they would “not need any assistance from the general fund from the county or anything.” “We can take care of this on our own,” he told the board. “So, what the new proposal is, is that we will build the new one at the armory and then when it’s up and running…we’ll tear down the equipment from Court Street (sheriff’s office) and

we’ll bring out to my office as a backup.” Wilson said with the project moving at a more rapid pace and being able to use the current system at the sheriff’s office as a backup at the EMA office, they were looking at a possible $170,000 in savings for not having to buy new backup equipment. “I think it’s a win-win, I really do,” Wilson said. Sheriff Joe Myers explained the following day via phone, confirming what Wilson said. “It made more sense to take the new stuff and put it where we’re going to use it everyday (armory) and take the old stuff, which isn’t that old…down there (EMA office),” Myers explained. He also said he

anticipates moving to the armory by the middle of 2021 as they will have to be in there even before the jail is built. Myers also said that after three jail studies, they call for an 80bed facility and didn’t understand what the holdup was. Commissioner’s Dale Norris and Paul Coffland confirmed that at least one study did call for 80 beds. Myers feels that if it is built they can put people in it and doesn’t understand who would not want to make money off of their jail. Harrison County has for years been paying to house their defendants in other counties with zero female space. Myers wants that reversed. Coffland is not against the jail making money but questions

3 the need for 80 beds. “I do not think we can afford to run an 80 bed jail,” he said the next day and compared that to Carroll County, which he said has 30 beds but twice the size of Harrison County. He said Jefferson County has 120 beds and a population of 65,000. “They have 120, we have 15k population and we need 80? Does that make sense?” Coffland asked. He said from what he’s told it would take 16 new staff members for 80 beds. He said that’s over $1 million in payroll and healthcare “fringe benefits just there.” Commissioner Don Bethel disagrees with Myers on the amount of beds needed stating it costs $100,000 per cell.

Bethel feels a 60-bed facility is enough. “I’m not in favor of taxpayers paying for a big jail in hopes of renting beds out to other Counties,” Bethel stated on Thursday. In the end the commissioners said the jail is going to be built, it’s just a matter of how large they will go. The Capitol Bill funding, which is designed to aid regional jail facilities, is in the process and the county could garner hundreds to millions but the amount is unknown at this time. Also, the commissioners will be meeting on Monday, Dec. 21 instead of their usual slot on Wednesday.

Hopedale passes slew of COVID ordinances By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

HOPEDALE – The village of Hopedale’s council Wednesday evening, passed a handful of ordinances and motions approving various needs connected to the COVID funds the village was approved for. Mayor Mike Pelegreen reminded council that through the CARES Act Fund, the village has received just over $62,500. The first approval was for a

new truck, which Pelegreen described as a basic pickup (F350), which will help spread employees out and away from each other. The cost of the truck was announced at $37,737. “It’s all vinyl,” Pelegreen said. “It’s just a regular standard, it’s a heavy duty standard F-three fifty.” He described it as just basic with no extras. The next purchase was for 40 water meters at a cost of $6,491.60. This also allows employees to avoid going into homes and instead reading the meter from

the outside. The next motion passed was for the purchase of furniture for the city building. Pelegreen said there were cloth chairs needing replaced with four glass-top desks and a conference table that breaks up into four pieces, which allows for social distancing. The total for the furniture is $12, 852.75. A fourth COVID purchase is a UV light for the purpose of destroying the COVID virus on surfaces. This would save

time and possibly money for supplies on wiping down surfaces as the UV light destroys. Medical people are known to use this method as the ultra violet light breaks down the cell of the virus and destroys it. Council Member Jonathan Cortez explained the process and it is used at the hospital. The cost for this is $6,075 and Pelegreen said that leaves a COVID balance of $5,459.13. Other ordinances passed were for continuing the services of

Solicitor Jack Felgenhauer and for ODOT to do striping on village streets, as well as for signs and snow and ice removal (Ohio 151). Felgenhauer said the ODOT ordinance was basically a continuation of an early 1990s agreement. Also addressed was for the village to pay back funds that were mistakenly put into the

village’s coffers via RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency). Council Member Willie Luther said it could be paid in installments (six payments) and not all at once. Felgenhauer reminded council that this same mistake had taken place in Jewett several years ago as well where he had been solicitor.

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

Sacred: The Virgin Birth Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and the Virgin Birth. Sadly, to some folks and some religious “scholars”, these are all on the same scale of believability. But scripture declares that the Virgin Birth is absolutely essential to the salvation of sinners. The Bible teaches that Adam and Eve sinned by rejecting God’s command. At that point they handed over their God-given authority to Satan, the Father of Lies as Jesus would later call him. Sin entered the world. The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.” Jesus came to be the second Adam, the sinless Adam. In order for Jesus to be sinless, the sinful bloodline from Adam’s lineage had to be broken and that’s why there had to be a virgin birth. If Jesus had been born of two human parents, he would have been just as much a sinner on the cross as the two thieves on either side of him. Paul wrote to the Romans, “We have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, are under the power of sin. As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. That means me, you, Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, Mr. Rogers, Nobel Peace Prize winners, everyone. All people are under the power of sin, we need a sinless sacrifice and that would be the virgin born Messiah Jesus

Christ. Paul goes on to explain in Romans 3 that “we are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. It’s true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are because everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s standard.” When we question the reality of the Virgin Birth, we make some pretty harsh accusations. We question the moral character of Mary, is she the blessed virgin or just “one of those girls”? Secondly, we bring strong accusation against all Old Testament prophecy as being untrue. We might as well just take the book of Isaiah out of the Bible if we dismiss the Virgin Birth. And last but certainly not least, we bring accusation against the Lord Jesus himself and his truthfulness as to his claim of being sent from heaven and being the Son of God. The Virgin Birth is not to be trifled with, it is sacred and is fundamental to our salvation just as the resurrection is. As we celebrate Christmas this coming week with family and friends, let’s remember why this is such a sacred time of year. It’s not the gifts, the tree or the nut rolls (and I like all of those!) but it’s the Truth that God came to earth in a sinless body so every person could make the choice to be free from sin and serve the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas! PastorKenStaley@gmail.com

Great grandchildren (2) Ethan and Aubree Wiley. SMITHFIELD BY ESTHER MCCOY I can't believe it! Christmas is almost here. I have the spare bedroom filled with gifts in the bags of many stores and wrapping paper and gift bags on the floor beside them. But have not started the art of covering them as well as you see on television. Sometimes I think about looking for a wrapper to do all the covering of gifts. But what would be the fun of that?. I truly hope that you have your Christmas necessities all in a row. The next edition of The NewsHerald will be after the great religious holiday, so I will wish everyone reading this column a very healthy Christmas. The arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine will be the best gift of all this season. And to know that so many are still well with this pandemic hovering over our heads and many recoveries is another gift we can be thankful for. Prayers are needed for those who have lost loved ones at this time. A Reverse Christmas Parade was held on the streets of Cadiz on Dec. 5. It was a splendid idea of having the floats parked along the street and cars driving by to see the delight of Christmas. We did not stay for the 6 p.m. event as we had somewhere else to go for photos. But the first float we saw was that of S&W Hair Studio at 339 Grant Street. They had a beauty studio set up with three styling chairs and had the "Who" people from Whoville represented, with of course that green and grouchy Grinch, played by Derrick, Kelley. He even had the little tummy like the real one. Azaeh Lenevich was one of the cute Whoville children. The Harrison County Visitors Center had a float also sponsored by by the Harrison Senior Center, Dr. Gary Barker, Huntington Bank, Gary's Body Shop, and Walrath Insurance. Barb Elliott was lighting up the Carriage Inn van with colorful lights and the Cadiz Lions had Sam Bates' red truck decorated nicely. George Bedway was there spreading his own Christmas joy. He can make you happy just by being around him. I just learned on Monday that a schoolmate of mine, Janet Emfield Branscom, died on Dec. 12. She was a professor at the former Jefferson Community College and Eastern Gateway Community College. It is great to see that someone from our class has done so well. The family wanted donations to be made to the Dillonvale Food Pantry or a local Salvation Army. Joelle Bensie, leader of the 4-H Varieties Club and her members raised $585 for the sponsorship of Cedric, an 11-year-old Beagle/Lab mix; Jeffery, 5-year-old German shepherd; and Danny and Kelsey, two cats. Another cat, Montex, had a partial fee paid. "Our goal was to get as many animals as possible a warm home for the holidays," Bensie said. The experience was very rewarding to the members and is their favorite community service project. Buckeye North Elementary School received $760 from a somewhat new member of the Brilliant Lions Club, Ben Battenburg.. Each year the club holds a 50-50-money drawing and it was won by Battenburg, He in turn gave it to Susan Nolan, the school principal, to be used when there is a need for students in the school. "That was such a touching thing to do. You are making a difference for some students in the school, Ben.": The Lions held a blood drive, helped erect flags for the American Legion on the decided days, turned in 324 pairs of eye glasses and 44 cases for the glasses at the Zone 7 meeting, provided to Toys for Tots, donated to pediatric cancer. Helped in many ways in the village, and bought a pair of eye glasses for someone in need of them, along with other helpful things in Brilliant. The McCook Post 529 American Legion canceled its annual Christmas dinner, being concerned with the health of those attending. Instead, They sent two $5 lottery tickets to all who had attended in the past. "We, know it is not as exciting as the grab bags they

provided at the annual dinners but felt it would put a smile on the face of those who might have scratched off winning numbers,” was written in the letter. We did not win but it was fun scratching off numbers in the hopes of seeing something matching. Ed Ulczynsk." is the commander, and Larry Yanda is first vice commander. "To Post 529. May you all stay well. Thanks for your holiday thoughts I read in brochure that came from The VFW that Christmas is a day that the United States flag should be displayed. New Year's Day is another flag day. Then Jan.20, Presidential Inauguration Day, needs to have a flag flying. Something I am thankful for this Christmas are friends. They are the ones who called to see how my health was coming during my sickness; always asking about my sister, Dorothy; making me laugh on bad days and making me see that nothing wrapped with colorful paper and bows is as precious as something that can be felt in your heart, having friends and family.

Cadiz Republican Feb.29,1872. The new building is of good, substantial brick, 23 by 48 feet, 2 1/2 stories high, a basement with extension for engine and boiler, furnished and setup by the mill works of John Cooper of Mt. Vernon.

Sympathy and prayers go out to all family and friends that have lost loved ones. Bless all of you. Have a Blessed week. Enjoy the Holidays. JEWETT/CADIZ By Ruby Foutz It's difficult with the Covid-19 around us, but I hope you still have the Christmas spirit. It's rough to find even some of the groceries (that you would normally need) in the stores right now. Some places say they aren't being delivered and other say they can only order small amounts. I don't even like to shop now. However, there are signs everywhere to wear a mask and most places have disinfectant wipes, etc. just as you walk in. So please try to protect yourself and others. The Christmas decorations on the Cadiz Square looks pretty. Thanks to everyone that help put the decorations together. As it gets closer to Christmas, get in your vehicle and drive around and look at all the beautiful decorations. Some are pretty spectacular. We enjoyed the picture in the Look at the Past of the Duncanwood Miners. I had never heard of them before but am sure it brought back memories to many miners. I know everyone likes hot soups and everything hot in the winter months but sometimes you just need something refreshing. Many times for a refreshing snack, I cut up a Gala Apple and eat it with salt or melt some caramels (you can get at the dollar store or almost anywhere) and pour the melt over them or dunk the apples in the caramel. It is delicious. Congratulations to Eugene E. Randolph and Susanna N. Arlott on their marriage application. Best wishes to you. Prayers and get well wishes to Karen & David Kenney, Joanne & Mike White, Shirley Rogers, and all others that is on the sick list or just would like prayers. Get well soon.

Holloway UM Church is still holding services on Sundays at 9:30AM. Masks and social distancing will be recognized. Everyone needs to have a safe place to worship. There is no time like now where we need God in our lives. The "Village of Holloway" has a Facebook page.

Huskies open season with divisional split By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – They may have had to wait an extra week, but the Harrison Central Huskies are finally back on the hardwood. In what fans can expect to see much of the year due to the times we are all living in, the season opener with John Glenn was postposed to a later date, leading to the 2020-21 tip-off coming against the Bellaire Big Reds last Thursday night in Cadiz. There may have been a little rust in the first quarter, but the Huskies sanded it off and cruised to a double digit 74-60 victory to open the year. The Big Reds ran with the Huskies through the first eight minutes, closing out the first frame trailing by just a pair at 16-14. Akron commit Kobe Mitchell was relatively quiet for his standards in the early going, turning in just three marks in the first. However, that doesn’t mean there weren’t others ready to step up and match the pace of the visiting Big Reds. Junior Jonathan Vermillion was a force to be reckoned with under the hoop, racking up nine points to keep the Huskies in front. It turned out that Vermillion’s first quarter was just a preview for a much bigger night, as the lengthy big man would go on to drop 26points before things were said and done. The Huskies outscored the Big Reds 22-10 in the second, taking a

comfortable 38-24 into the break. Justin Clifford’s Huskies wouldn’t look back from there, keeping the contest at a four-to-five possession cushion for much of the second half. The lead would swell to twenty at times in the fourth, as the Big Reds found themselves in a hole much too deep to climb out of. David Zwack poured in five triples, finishing with 25 for J.R. Battista’s Bellaire squad, but it still wasn’t enough to overcome Vermillion and Mitchell’s tag team effort. Even at 26 points, Vermillion didn’t take the gamehigh title. Those honors went to none other than Kobe Mitchell, as he shook off the slow start to drain 29 points, 18 of which came in the second half. To complete the trio of double digit finishes for Clifford, underclassmen Cabot Arbaugh put the topper on the tree with 10 of his own. Dating back to the 2018 season, the Huskies have certainly had the Big Reds number, and that isn’t at all an exaggeration. In the last five meetings, the Huskies have won with an average margin of victory of an eye-popping 35 points. Come next season, nobody will likely be happier than the Big Reds to the see the Huskies move to the Buckeye Eight North division. The two teams will meet one more time as South Division foes, in a rematch scheduled for later this season. Fast forward to this past Tuesday, and things looked a lot different

for Clifford and the Huskies. For starters, Harrison took the floor inside The Hangar in Morristown with just six players dressed to take on the Union Local Jets. Without any JV players to fill out the bench due to COVID-19 quarantine protocols (stemming from the JV matchup against Bellaire), the Huskies were forced to run the floor with a very limited cupboard of reinforcements. And it would catch up to them in the closing moments of the 68-65 setback on the road. With Vermillion strapped to the bench after picking up his fifth whistle, Clifford was forced to run out the final four minutes of the matchup with only five guys. The Huskies led the Jets by two after the first quarter, and had pushed that lead to seven (34-27) at halftime. The lead would reach double digits in the midway through the third, as things looked to be solid for a 2-0 start early season start. However, Zach Delman’s Jets had other plans. With 3:40 left in the third, the Jets ripped off a quick 6-0 run. Shifting momentum and cutting the lead down to a manageable two possessions. Huskies senior Sam Santille broke up the run with a put-back, followed up by two free throws. However, the last minute of the third was not kind to the visiting Huskies. Andrew Martin would go on to tie things up for the Jets, and Luke Merritt would then put the Jets in front 47-46

BELLAIRE - Following a 56 53 Bellaire lead in the closing minutes of regulation play, a charity point by Maddy Butler and a bucket by Audrey Corder, sent Harrison Central and Bellaire into overtime on Monday night in Bellaire. Throughout the contest the Huskies had no problem finding the bottom of the net, and 46 team points between McKayla Dunkle and Britton Positano weighed heavily, when moving into the final quarter. Dunkle

would own 26 of the total, but both worked hard for the Dawgs throughout the contest. Threeballs also played a part in the offense for the Huskies, and 12 points were added to the score via the down-town avenue. McKenzie Harbold netted a pair of treys and Positano evenly matched that mark. Not seeing action during a recent COVID layoff did not seem to affect the Husky offense, and Dunkle’s rebounding aided credence to the defense. Positano was the more accurate in the opening eight minutes with 12 points to

keep the Huskies alive, but Bellaire would win the first half by a score of 32 - 39. After their halftime lead and fronting their late fourth period surge to create overtime, Bellaire took some confidence with them going into the overtime period. However, confidence needs production to become complete, and the play during the overtime went the way of Harrison. Of the 13 points scored in the overtime, the Huskies owned 11 for a final score of 67 - 58. “With the foul trouble we were in when the game went into

overtime, I was a little nervous,” said Husky head coach Nick Yourkovich. “I’m still not sure how we manipulated the whole second half. Brit (Positano) really carried us till everyone else caught up to the speed of their press,” he added. Dunkle led all scorers with her game high 26 points; Positano remained close behind with her had 20 points; Butler ended with 7 points; Corder and Harblod split a dozen points evenly and Danyel Beadling had two. The Huskies are now 2 and 1, while Bellaire fell to 2 and 5.

a majority of the fourth, in the final minute the Huskies would cut the lead down to a bucket at 64-62 following two Mitchell free throws. But even with the Jets struggling to keep offensive possession under pressure, the Huskies couldn’t find the points to overcome the deficit. Mitchell led all scorers with 40 points, but the Huskies didn’t get another player into double digits. Santille finished with eight,

freshman Hayden Cassidy added six, Arbaugh and Vermillion dropped four each, with Skylar Mazeroski rounding out the scoring with a single long ball. The Huskies will be back in action this week against St. Clairsville and Philo. The Philo matchup will be a part of the 7th Annual Buckeye Eight Challenge, of which has been relocated to the campus of Harrison Central in Cadiz.

STAY SAFE OHIO

PROTOCOL 1. STAY AT HOME. Home is the safest place. Only leave home for household essentials, medical care, work, and school. If possible, use drive-thru, curbside pick-up, or delivery services to limit face-to-face contact with others or shop online. 2. Wear your mask. Wear a mask whenever you are around anyone you don’t live with. 3. Keep interactions short and stay apart. The more people you interact with and the longer amount of time you spend together, the higher your risk of becoming infected or spreading the virus to others. 4. Wash your hands. Clean hands are a key to preventing the spread of COVID-19. 5. Work from home. Everyone who can work from home should work from home. All meetings should be virtual.

7. Don’t eat or drink with anyone outside of your household. Eating and drinking with others is risky because you can’t wear a mask while eating and drinking. Limiting meals to those within your own household is safest. Home delivery, curbside pick-up, drive-thru windows, and take-out services are the best options when getting meals out. 8. Limit travel. This is a holiday to stay close to home. Remember that spread happens only when you are in contact with others. 9. Keep weddings and funerals safe. Conduct weddings and funerals in a COVID-safe way. 10. Enjoy safe holiday activities! Stay connected with friends and family who don’t live in your home by calling, using video chat, or through social media. Choose drive-thru holiday light shows and virtual celebrations over in-person holiday activities.

6. Celebrate safe. Celebrate small. As people gather for the holidays, remember that older family members and those with medical conditions are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, so take extra measures to protect them.
