Village administrator nominee fails first vote

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Two weeks ago at the last Cadiz council meeting Mayor Ken Zitko nominated Kevin Brooks of Akron as his appointment to be the next village administrator, replacing Charley Bowman who quit earlier than expected back in November.

Mayor Zitko told council that if they had any questions that Brooks would be available to come in and answer any concerns they had. A vote was taken Thursday evening in a brief special council meeting where Brooks received only two positive votes, which came from Terry Capers and Thomas Crawshaw. Council Members Chace Smith, Dan Ossman, John Vermillion and Mike McPeak all voted no.

Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros said it’s only a first vote where two

more readings will follow in subsequent meetings but for now, Brooks has not been approved.

Near the end of the last meeting, council stated that the village administrator’s salary would not be as high as Bowmans and would include a six-month probation period, according to Solicitor Mastros.

“The proposal is he starts out lower,” Mastros said. “Not considerably but it will be lower.”

When asked if the new administrator would be a resident of the village that was answered in the affirmative.

Council also stated that according to the Ohio Revised Code, the administrator must be a resident within six months of employment “unless waived by council,” which they said was done for Bowman who lived outside the village of Cadiz.

“The mayor’s recommendation expressed a keen interest in living here, being a part of the community, dealing with the problems of the village, of the residents of the village as a resident himself,” Crawshaw explained.

Regarding the Army Reserve Center, council took an immediate executive session at the start of the meeting but returned with “no action taken.” Mayor Zitko stated that they have not decided as of yet if the village is going to continue to pursue the building for its police and administrative offices. At the commissioner’s meeting Wednesday, Sheriff Joe Myers hinted that he felt confident it may end up in the county’s hands for the sheriff’s headquarter, and it still may. Zitko stated he would be happy with whatever decision is made and it is not an adversarial decision versus the county.

Celebrating Jesus’ Birthday

“The deadline is January 19th,” Zitko said. The original deadline, which was set by the Army Reserve for Dec. 14, allowed the village and county an extension until next month.

Council Member Crawshaw reported that a water and sewer meeting was held earlier in the day with Council Member Vermillion and he in attendance. He said they met with some of the employees and discussed employee relations, among many other topics.

“And a lot that’s going to need to be done is going to be a little bit the long road and not an easy one,” he told council, “some growing pains I think.”

He said there will be some work cut out for the new village administrator once he gets on the job. He said he’d like another meeting in January after the new administrator is on the job.

Regarding ordinances, #2018-66 was tabled until further notice on the request of Mastros. The ordinance is for “authorizing and directing the village administrator to enter into a water purchase agreement with Harrison County.”

“I’m sorry, too much confusion,” Mastros told council. “Could we table it until further notice please?” The third reading is expected to resume once the new administrator gets settled.

Also, officials were happy the Christmas parade finally got off without a hitch, though, Police Chief Ryan McCann stated there was probably more people participating in the parade than watching because of another day of rain. Council Member Vermillion was happy and said 28 units

Accident claims two lives

Jace King, 5, of Cadiz gets ready to dig into the cake and ice cream served by the Rush Run Community Chapel on Christmas Eve to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. Pastor Dave Greene told the children the story of the birth of Jesus and that is how Christmas came about and his birth should be observed more than the desiring of gifts. Santa Claus paid a visit following the service and presented candy treats to the children. The passing of the flame as candles were lit around the room took place and “Silent Night” was sung to close.

HARRISON COUNTY – A onevehicle accident on Christmas night claimed two lives in Harrison County.

The accident happened at approximately 11:27 p.m. Tuesday as a BMW 328-I driven by Dale Resor, 34, of Freeport with passenger, Meghan Higgenbotham, 33 of Sherrodsville were killed while traveling westbound on U.S. 22.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) the vehicle veered right and first struck a traffic sign. The BMW then traveled down an embankment then shot up the other side of that embankment and struck a guardrail and a bridge pillar before coming to rest upright underneath the Ohio 151 overpass.

Resor,was not only a part-time Harrison County Sheriff’s Deputy but also worked as a firefighter for Hopedale since October, as well as being a volunteer for Piedmont, according to Hopedale Fire Chief Mark Marchetta. He said Resor liked that kind of work that much to be able to put in the time he did.

Marchetta said he actually taught Resor when he took his advanced EMT class some 15 years ago.

“He was a great guy,” Marchetta said adding that he knew Resor longer than just the time he put in at Hopedale.

Harrison County Sheriff, Joe Myers described Resor the same as Marchetta in that Resor always had a smile on his face and did what he was supposed to do because he knew his job.

Dale Resor

“Dale was always kind and good natured,” Myers stated. “The guys always liked him,” he said of the other deputies who worked with him. Myers added that he felt eventually Resor would probably have found a home with Harrison County Sheriff’s Office as a full time officer.

“He always treated me good,” Myers continued adding that it’s hard to replace someone like that who knows their job with a law enforcement background. Resor worked primarily in Scio and Hopedale with other deputies filling in those areas when Resor was not patrolling.

“He was part of the family here,” Myers said. Both Resor and his passenger, Meghan Higgenbotham were pronounced dead on arrival, according to the OSHP. Also on scene were Scio, Hopedale, Cadiz and the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

MWCD approves new concessionaire for Tappan Marina “Due to some reporting issues we’re recommending termination of that lease agreement…” Chief of Recreation Scott Barnhart said as he wished to proceed with an RFP (request for proposal), which the board eventually granted.

What followed was the approval of a new concession agreement after issuing new RFP’s, according to Barnhart. He stated that out of four applicants they were recommending Kent and Cindy

Murray of Murray’s Restaurant in Wintersville. The Murray’s had operated in Cadiz for approximately a year before leaving.

Barnhart told the board a three-year lease was recommended at 7 percent gross.

“And they are very excited to come on board and I think the good part is, is that they are willing to put the time and the managing of the facility and I think it will be a lot better situation

John Olivier, deputy chief of marina operations agreed with Barnhart and added that after seeing a few “red flags” in the past year “so far there have been nothing but green flags.” He said the Murrays are excited to be involved and have already met with the architects for the new design that will be taking place next fall of 2019, which will change the look of the building at Tappan.

Olivier stated that they took an unannounced visit to Murray’s Restaurant in Wintersville and were impressed with the fact that the restaurant was “packed” on a Wednesday morning. Olivier said it was a difficult choice when asked, stating that the second choice was “very close.” Barnhart said they were a bit surprised with the amount of

Scio is now free of EPA Findings and Orders

SCIO – after several years of complaints about the water and the crisis two summers ago, the village of Scio is finally out from under the EPA’s Findings and Orders.

“Basically, that means we’re no longer under the EPA’s thumb,” Jason Tubaugh said bluntly.

Tubaugh said the project is completed as reported from the last meeting and it’s been checked twice, “just like Santa.”

He said one time the EPA showed up “out of the blue,” which he said was fine with him.

“We have nothing to hide,” he told council. “If they want to come down tonight I’ll let them in, that’s fine. It’s about establishing a good working rapport and a level of trust with them when we say we’re going to do something we will do it. We will comply,” Tubaugh explained. He said there are times when there will be disagreements and discussion is needed.

Tubaugh later explained that some people may still experience unpleasantness, like Grandview Street for example, as a few residents have complained with one being on Grandview. He said that street is part of their capital

improvement plan, which is to replace all their old lines and they are still in that process.

“We’re getting there,” he said in a later interview.

Also, Tubaugh said regarding the ordo-phosphate injection feed at the water treatment plant, their lead and copper testing will go from “10 annually to 20 semiannually” if the injection feed is mandated by the EPA. “That means next year your costs of sampling for the water treatment plant goes up by $4,800. I say that because before January your ordinance is already built in with a 2.5 percent increase to your water and sewer rates,” Tubaugh stated. He told council the water-sewer committee should sit down early next year and go over all costs, such as labor, material, chemicals, as well as electric so the 2.5 percent doesn’t balloon.

“And nobody wants a $5 increase off the bat like Cadiz…I don’t know how many rate increases their…” he didn’t finish but called that village’s rates “ridiculous.”

“Nobody here wants that,” he continued. “Everybody can swallow a dime a month but when you start putting dollar amounts on their, it’s an impact for our residents [and] I think it’s our due diligence to look at it beforehand

and increase it gradually instead of one fell swoop. That doesn’t help anybody.”

Tubaugh also informed council that employees of the Tuscarawas plant were led on a tour of Scio’s plant as Tuscarawas was also in the process of upgrading their plant.

“It’s nice to know people in different various locations [because] if we ever needed anything then they’re more than willing to help us out too…”

Tubaugh explained calling theirs like a sister-system to Scio’s.

“So, it’s always nice to have other communities that aren’t that far away if you ever needed help,” Tubaugh said. He then focused on some numbers informing council that tests on the plant for the year came to $2,415. He said that was for only 10 copper samples.

“Plus the regular monthly required testing through the EPA,” he said adding that he’ll go more in-depth once he receives more information. He said annual costs for the waste water system came to $11,508 for the year.

Mayor Michelle Carpenter said regarding the cell phone business they’ve addressed the last few meetings, she would like to get something signed before any price adjustments, which she said she was told would take place at some point in the future.

Carpenter said she was still waiting to hear back from the company but added that the rates were “really not that bad.”

“So I thought that was pretty darn good,” she said of the $30plus amount per line. She said it wasn’t an iPhone but called it “useable.”

“I thought that was pretty good because we are a village,” Carpenter said regarding the rates for employees to be able to communicate with each other.

Other items Tubaugh shared from his report: The village canceled a clothing contract, which came to $2,100 per year.

Instead, upon his recommendation the village approved of a $400 annual clothing and footwear allowance as a “cost savings measure.”

Also, James Thompson, known as JT to everyone, opened the meeting with a few tidbits for next year’s Fall Festival. He told council they planned on having more inflatables to replace most of the rides, though there will be a few of those still.

Thompson said there will be a rock climbing wall, bull riding and entertainment already lined up.

The date for the 2019 festival is Aug. 7 through the 10th.

MWCD presents proposed 2019 budget

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com NEW PHILADELPHIA – It was the usual end-of-the-year business for the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) and included in that was the normal yearly figures and the future budget. Chief Financial Officer Jim Cugliari gave a rundown at last Friday’s monthly meeting, of the proposed budget for the upcoming 2019 year.

“The general budget guidelines that we went through process were looking at expenses, keeping our operational expenses at around a 1.5 to 2 percent number,” Cugliari explained. “Obviously from a revenue standpoint there is more specific from a pricing standpoint and pricing strategies…” he said, which include recreational funds.

Cugliari said one goal was to obviously keep expenses to a minimum when it came to their parks and marinas operationally speaking. At the same time he said their ambition was to keep the profit margins at least, “at or better than what we’ve had in the past.”

Cugliari covered wages calling for a 3 percent increase for fulltime staff (non-bargaining unit) with the minimum wage factor in mind, as well as having an impact on other hourly wage rates.

Cugliari said from an “operational” point of view, the budget was approximately 50 percent wages.

“When we look at it overall, in looking at the entire budget of sixty-some million dollars, we’re about a 17 percent number,” Cugliari explained.

Board Member, Joanne Limbaugh noted that in comparison to other boards she’s familiar with, the 50 percent Cugliari mentioned acceptable.

“So it’s not unusual to have 80

percent of the budget go for wages and benefits,” Limbaugh explained. “This is kind of a unique situation for public boards because we do provide services but we also have some tangible assets that we spend money on so, 50 percent is a very respectable number.”

Cugliari stated that prior to the Master Plan numbers figured in their percentage was around 30 percent.

“Our percentages were probably in that 30 percent range,” Cugliari continued, “which again, 30 to 40 percent…in government and in public sector is a very acceptable number.”

Cugliari then touched on contracts, which cover $45 million of their $67 million budget. This led to talk of a growth period they are experiencing the “last few years.”

He said the areas of growth involved maintenance assessment, contracts and personnel as well.

“Our park master plan, we’re looking at an almost $36 million spend projected in 2019. That does not include some of the capital dollars we’re putting in for marinas,” Cugliari stated. He added that over the past several years dredging, cover crop program, water quality and Army Corps of Engineer’s cost share as an example of costs.

“From an operational standpoint, and this is more so from the parks and marinas, we continue to experience gradual growth in the park areas and the marinas because of our master plan,” Cugliari continued explaining. “But with that and I think we recognize that it does bring on some additional strains, some additional expenses.”

Cugliari told the board they hoped to have the Phase I money spent in 2019 “for the most part.”

He told them to expect some things “spilling over” into the year

2020. He said one new item was called the Marina Master Plan they’ve been working on that he said would be “kicking off at Tappan.”

“We are proposing to set aside $10 million for that,” Cugliari told the board. “Again, that was discussed at our oversight meeting.” He said $14.4 million was predicted for 2019 operational revenue, which is a 4 percent increase “over the forecasted amount.”

Regarding expenses, Cugliari said they are projecting an 8 percent increase to $16.6 million over the forecasted amount of 2018. For budget expenditures when comparing 2018 to 2019 in four areas (general maintenance, conservation, parks and nonparks), they are showing a loss in the general maintenance area. He said conservation would be breaking even with a $183,000 loss in the parks area. For nonparks, Cugliari said would be in the black, which includes marinas, cottage sites and docks for example.

“Overall, we’re looking at a base operating loss of $2.2 million,” he said. Income from oil and gas royalties, etc., would be $14.2 million as a “base operating income.” He said in the capital items involving non-master plan capital items and park master plan coming to a little under $41 million combined. He said the debt would be around $95,000 for the year.

“Just again, as a refresher on the debt these are obligations we have with the Ohio Water Development Authority that we do not have the ability to pay off early,” Cugliari explained. “So, those will have to go through the entire duration,” which he surmised to be around 15 to 20 years left.

Miller’s Martial Arts opens new studio

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Dennie Miller’s Martial Arts Studio held a grand opening Thursday at his new studio on Industrial Park Road.

The studio occupies two nice sized rooms inside the Bayform Building and Miller couldn’t be happier with the new location.

Miller opened with a few words to the large crowd and talked of what a pleasure it was to be at the new location. He described his program as a mix of teaching range of motion, fitness and weight loss, though he emphasized he’s not a nutritionist and does not supply a diet for his students, nevertheless, it’s a workout, he said.

Dennie reminded the audience of the January schedule, which

includes self-defense beginning on Jan. 5 and continuing for four consecutive weeks. Each class is two hours and Denny said he will start with a class of 10 and may increase it later.

Also, new classes begin Jan. 7 and are held on Mondays and Wednesdays for one hour each.

Those are his regular classes and he welcomes young and old alike.

Miller introduced his brother Eric, who is moving to the Master class. Others moving up are: Pete Novotny to second degree black belt, Lucas Puskarich to first degree black belt and Duncan Sticht also to first degree black belt.

Dennie also introduced his close friend in Ron and Joni Baumgarner. Ron is a 12th degree black belt and Joni holds a class of Master herself.

Dennie described his classes as

character builders and talked briefly of wanting his young students to walk with confidence. He also spoke briefly of bullying that goes on in schools and wants to teach the young ones to first, how to get away and/or cry for help. He said it’s about standing up for oneself, which Ron Baumgarner echoed with some brief words that included honor and respect.

Joni said the training not only gives one the confidence to handle oneself but also the confidence and the selfassuredness to also back away and avoid a fight.

Dennie invited anyone who wants to join to do so as he stressed the building of confidence, not arrogance and how people can be taught to handle themselves in different situations.

Two Harrison Hills schools receive Schools of Honor Award

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Improvement seems to be on the horizon for several schools within the Harrison Hills School District as both Harrison East and Harrison North were recognized in the areas of achievement and improvement.

For Harrison East, this was the second consecutive year they

have received the Schools of honor Award and the first year for Harrison North. This award was chosen from 1,329 Title One Schools in Ohio, so if you win you are in elite company.

The awards were announced at last Thursday’s Harrison Hills Board of Education (HHBOE) meeting. Superintendent, Dana Snider was impressed and emphasized that, though, 66 schools were awarded but noted the more than 1,300 schools

eligible.

“The Schools of Honor program recognizes schools that have sustained high achievement and substantial progress while serving a significant number of economically disadvantaged students,” the description reads.

“I’m very proud of them, it is showing the hard work that they have put in [and] we’re seeing results,” Snider told the board.

She went on to explain that an

additional award was given to Harrison East called the “Momentum Award.” This one is awarded by the state board of education for “exceeding expectations in student growth for the year.”

“So, wonderful job being done with these schools,” Snider said, “Very proud of the staff…” The criteria for the Momentum Award is that the schools must earn straight A’s “on all “ValueAdded measures on the report

card.” Further explanation states that: The school or district must have at least two Value-Added subgroups of students, which includes gifted, lowest 20 percent in achievement, and students with disabilities.

On the approval front under Personnel: Byron Wilson for bus driver, Edward DeCesare as softball freshman for 2018-19 school year (pending BFBI), Sherry Birney (pending BFBI) and Kristina Friend for Help Me

Grow employees beginning Jan. 2.

Under Business and Operation approvals: Membership to OSBA Legal Assistance Fund Consultant Service for CY19; the 2019 annual membership to Ohio School Boards Association and a College Credit Plus Memorandum of Understanding agreement with Kent State University for 201920 school year.

My brother, Dale McHugh and wife, Norma, celebrated a wedding anniversary on Dec. 18 and we celebrated with a little party at our house. As usual, the guys won at playing 500 bid and they don't brag too much!!

Instead of having an anniversary cake, I made Norma's favorite pie, peach, to celebrate. We were in their wedding but I do not remember how many years ago it has been. The entire McCoy clan will be at our house for a holiday meal and the opening of small and sometimes funny gifts, as they all received money ahead of time to buy whatever they wanted. Some of them protest about the games I make up to play."Oh grandma, not more games." But they get into the contests because there is money to be won.

Granddaughter Jessie will be celebrating especially hearty as she graduated from Ohio State University with a 4.0 average on Dec. 16. She is going on to get a doctorate in occupational therapy.

Betty Morris remembered through offering

By ED BANKS NH Staff Writer

Cadiz - Betty Morris was a part of the Cadiz and Harrison County Community that will not be forgotten.

As directors of the Cadiz Food Pantry for decades, Betty and her sister Edna Morris worked

tirelessly to make it possible for the love, grace, strength, and passion of God to flow to the lives of countless individuals and families who needed to experience God’s love in times of need.

Affectionately known to so many as, the ‘Sisters’, Betty and Edna Morris served as the hands, feet, voice, and heartbeat

of Jesus in the community to all that they met, encouraged, prayed with, organized, and yes, served with contagious and tireless passion in Jesus’ name.

Their impact on all our lives and community simply will be unforgettable. Betty went home to be with Jesus, on Nov. 17, 2018.

In memory and celebration of Betty’s life, it was with the deepest love and affection, that the Harrison County Association of Churches, on behalf of the whole community really, voted unanimously to give the offering collected at this year’s Christmas Choir Festival, to the Cadiz Food Pantry.

JVS Student Finding Success in Different Arena BLOOMINGDALE — When it comes to working with a top dog, Sarah Fox has got it handled.

Fox, the daughter of Jim and Neva Fox of Rayland and a junior in the culinary arts program at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School, took her four-year-old Smooth Collie to the American Kennel Club National Championship Dog Show in Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 16 where he placed first for his breed out of 21 contenders and is in the running to become first in the country in his class. Now, they will be featured when the dog show is set to air on the Animal Planet this New Year’s Day at 6 p.m.

The Buckeye Local High School student began her journey at age 8 by showing a dog at the Jefferson County 4H, but Bandit, who is co-owned by Robin Reed, Virginia Reed Mehr and Joann Thomas, showed potential for something more. Fox has taken him to shows each weekend for the past two years, traveling to Michigan, New York, Maryland and Virginia.

During that time, they have attended the prestigious Westminster Dog Show and

the Purina Nationals and earned such honors as No. 1 Junior Collie Handler, No. 1 All Breed Smooth Collie, No. 4 Breed Smooth Collie and No. 1. Owner Handler Breed in the country.

“You work every day with them while they are puppies,” she explained of the training, saying Bandit’s wins could put him in line for a very distinctive spot. “He gets points towards being in the Top 10 in the country and may be No. 1 in the country. His stats come in February but he’s in the Top 10 for his breed.”

Fox said both she and her parents were delighted by their success.

“They think it’s pretty amazing,” she commented.

“We never would have imagined how far we have gone in such a short period of time.”

She will continue showing him and her two Rough Collies, Dixie and Song, and is scheduled to go to Tallmadge, Ohio, in January as well as other competitions.

“We’ve got a couple of class females who will be coming out this year to be specials,” she said. “I plan on taking them to the nationals.”

Jefferson County Joint Vocational School student Sarah Fox and her four-year-old Smooth Collie, Bandit, gained honors at the AKC National Championship in Florida this month and the show is set to air on Animal Planet this New Year’s Day at 6 p.m.

Bandit, who is also owned by Robin Reed, Virginia Reed Mehr and Joann Thomas, has earned a bevy of national titles while Fox has become a top junior handler in the country.

“I think we’re going to be in good shape this time,” Olivier said of the Murrays.

“It’s going to be state of the art,” Cindy Murray said when contacted this week. “I believe it’s really going to be great.” She said there are plans for a deck and the outside plus parking will look different. Murray said it is going to be something to benefit the local community.

The Murray’s live only about a mile from Tappan Marina and had known the marina would be changing hands and thought they’d give it a shot. And after a long process including some paperwork, they won out. She said they plan to open in May of 2019 but are not sure about an exact date. The following September is when the MWCD plan to move in and begin renovating, which will coincide with the marina closing for the season.

“It’s going to be massive, beautiful,” Murray said and

earlier in the week that for next year they plan on publishing a rain date along with the regular date of the parade so everyone knows in advance.

Council Member Smith handed out applause to all village officials for the way the area looks with its Christmas lights and general aesthetics and the efforts they have put in.

added that the plans will also be on display inside the restaurant for the public to see. “I’m thankful that the Watershed gave us an opportunity,” she said. “It’s going to be great for the people.”

Later in the meeting Chief Engineer Boris Slogar received approval for of a contract for design regarding Tappan Marina calling it, “an exciting new adventure.” The estimate is for $358,026, which Slogar said was being led by Domokur Architects for inside and outside design with other contractors working under them as a “multi-disciplined team.”

Slogar described other work as waterfront development and storm water and wastewater, electrical, mechanical and plumbing, “as well as solar for “heating of water in building and shower facilities.”

Olivier said that the Murrays recently met with the architects and at least some of the design work is for what the Murrays have in mind. Cindy Murray said they will be looking for people to hire in the coming months.

Buckeye Eight challenge a success for Huskies By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

ST. CLAIRSVILLE – It may have taken overtime, but the Harrison Central Huskies moved to 4-1 with their 70-69 victory over the Linsly Cadets on the campus of Ohio University Eastern last Saturday. With under a minute remaining in the overtime period, sophomore Kobe Mitchell converted on back to back trips up the floor, the second of which sealed the Huskies thrilling victory as Linsly couldn’t cash in on the game’s final possession. Mitchell is starting to become a household name at the annual showcase event. Building off last year’s MVP performance against Barnesville, Mitchell once again locked up MVP honors with his 28-point showing against the Cadets.

The Huskies have appeared in all five Buckeye Eight Challenge events, largely due to Head Coach Justin Clifford assuming the role of the event organizer. This year marks the second straight win in the showcase for the Huskies, beating Barnesville last year in impressive fashion.

Caden Dalton nailed a triple with 1:45 to go in the third quarter to tie the game at 45, but the upset-minded Cadets (2-5) quickly recovered. So much so that the Wheeling outfit had taken a six point lead just a minute in to the fourth frame, pushing it to seven come the 4:25 mark. Dalton had a big afternoon, and it was much needed for the Huskies who have now reeled off three consecutive victories since losing to Martins Ferry a few short weeks ago. Dalton finished with 25, an effort that would have been good enough for game-high honors had Mitchell not dropped 28.

While Dalton and Mitchell led the charge in the scorebook, it was Payton Taylor that knocked down a big three with 2:45 remaining in regulation, a shot that knotted the score at 56. All told the Cadets and Huskies handed off the lead back and forth a total of four times in the final eight minutes.

With the clock turning towards zero, the Huskies got a clean look out of a timeout, but Dalton’s jumper from the free-throw line rimmed out forcing overtime.

Taylor’s long range jumper was called for again in overtime, and

he didn’t disappoint. Leading after Taylor’s three pointer 66-63, the Huskies would still see the lead switch into the hands of the Cadets two more times before the final buzzer sounded. It wasn’t necessarily the cleanest of action in the closing minute, leading to a score of 70-69 holding for nearly the entire last minute of the contest.

Marshall Taylor led the Cadets in the upset-bid with 19-marks.

Trevin Tush played the co-pilot with 15.

In other matchups at the event, Union Local fell to Steubenville in the opener, but St. Clairsville picked up another win for the Buckeye Eight with a 68-54 win over Philo. In the nightcap, Meadowbrook topped Wheeling Central 57-52. The Huskies are back in action this weekend in a cross-divisional Buckeye Eight matchup with Indian Creek.

Caden Dalton lines up a jump-shot against Linsly last weekend. Dalton finished with 25-points in the Huskies overtime victory.

Mitchell, West, Coultrap named All-Times Leader Football

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - In his first season at the helm of Harrison Central varsity football, Coach Anthony Hayes provided the Huskies fans with a lot to remember. Most of those memories were wrapped around some outstanding plays from a trio of never-say-never, and hard fighting football players. This past Sunday saw the names of the members of the All-Times Leader 2019 Football Squad, and those same young men were represented in the honor roll roster.

At no surprise to anyone those players were Kobe Mitchell, Tyler West and Tucker Coultrap. Mitchell was recently heralded for his work as the team’s quarterback. As a quarterback since his freshman

season, Mitchell was a double threat through his running and passing abilities. In this, his most recent campaign, Mitchell threw for 1682 yards and 17 touchdowns. A performance that even the Cowboy’s “Dak” Prescott would have appreciated.

While on the defensive end of his game, he stole three passes and had 22 tackles. Mitchell is still receiving outside accolades for his performance, with the latest being named prep football’s Sophomore Player of the Year.

West, while receiving many outside honors himself, would have been better remembered as an outstanding scat back. The title would fit him more appropriately because throughout his career, that’s what he did when he got the

ball...scat! West would be handed 99 reps from Mitchell during the season, and then he would turn them into 842 yards of pay dirt. He racked up nine touchdowns and caught 633 yards of real estate off 32 passes.

Coultrap, would best be know as the smiling sorcerer. He would smile at you and then like magic, poof, he would be gone with all your valuables. On defense, the stealthy linebacker led his team with 73 wrestinglike takedowns. He would also add to his resumé a fumble recovery and an interception.

As a running back, Coultrap galloped for 533 stripes and scored a touchdown. He also received high honors inside the Husky organization, and from the outside state and local football reviewers.

Lady Husky bowlers defeat Bellaire

Lady Huskies fall to Indian Creek 56-50 Harrison Central expanded its scare factor on Wednesday night as they gave chase and paralleled their performance in a game against the Indian Creek squad. Creek would try to make it an easy night of the contest with a 19-9 first quarter performance, but Harrison had other plans. A 10-point difference would settle the third frame and a very tough showing by both teams revealed a 56-50 final that was credited to Creek. Pictured is Harrison’s point guard Britton Positano (3) as she will bring Harrison closer to the visitors with a two-point performance at the charity stripe.

CADIZ - On Dec. 18 at a ladies only bowling match at J R Lanes, the Harrison Central girls bowling team defeated Bellaire St. John by a score of 1674 - 1153.

High individual scorers for Harrison Central were Riley Eberhart 201 and 154, Marley Basich 179, Raychel Myers 144, Aleyna Runevitch 144 and Kamree Best 137.

“I would like to thank Emily Schmidli for being willing to come up to varsity and throw in the last Baker Game,” said coach Bobbi Parkinson.

Colt Gamble named two-time Wrestling All American

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer CADIZ - If lightning can strike twice, then why not Husky wresting’s third grader Colt Gamble? Recently, Gamble did strike twice in an event that only a few kids at that age will ever do.

The young wrestler took his talents on the road with team Compound Detroit on Dec. 15 and 16 during Lansing Michigan’s Christmas Sporty.

Team Compound Detroit was comprised of 12 talented wrestlers, including two wrestlers from Detroit.

Of the 12 kids on the team that wrestled in the event, 11 became AllAmerican; Gamble was one of the eleven. The All-American title would be the young grappler’s second title, and to get there he would be involved in four matches. All coaches in the event were from Michigan. Colt and his parents are from Cadiz.

Boy shares love of owls for Christmas

Coleman Granatir, 11, shared his love of owls by decorating a nature Christmas tree at the home of his grandparents, Curt and Virginia Glenn of County Road 54, Irondale. He has a snowy white owl at the top of the tree. Nestled in the branches are hoot owls, large pine cones, holly, mistletoe, bittersweet and switchback. Under the tree is a little fawn and more nature products. He decorated the tree in remembrance of the area where his grandparents live that was once called Owltown. And their farm is now called the Owltown Farm in remembrance. Coleman is the son of John and Rachael Granatir and attends Gregg Elementary School.

SVRTA Aids Creek Program WINTERSVILLE- The Steel Valley Regional Transit Authority is assisting students in one Indian Creek High School program by giving them a lift to work.

SVRTA officials have agreed to offset the $90 total cost of passes for three students participating in the Career-Based Intervention program at ICHS. Students attend classes in the morning and head to their job in the afternoon, but for some pupils their plans hit a snag.

Jennifer Belt, program coordinator, said three of the estimated 20 students had no means to get to work. Plans were to purchase bus passes but the transit authority waived the cost.

“I thought it was really nice,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting it.”

Belt explained that CBI helps at-risk students, primarily juniors and seniors, by preparing them academically and also giving them workbased skills. Local participating businesses include Taco Bell, J.C. Penney, Pilot, McDonald’s and S&M Cleaning Services.

“I go to the job sites and see how they are doing and some do stay in the jobs after graduation,” she added, saying other students may go on to college or a trade school.

School Superintendent Dr. T.C. Chappelear appreciated SVRTA’s generosity and said it helps the students overcome a hurdle on their path to success.

“One of the challenges is transportation to the work site.

That’s where SVRTA comes in by providing bus passes for kids

to get there,” he said. “The idea [of the program] is to prepare students for careers while making sure they are completing their requirements for a high school diploma.”

He thanked SVRTA Executive Director Frank Bovina and said it makes a difference to the students.

“Frank is one of our honorary diploma holders, his son attended school here and his wife Diane taught here, so they have been big Indian Creek supporters,” Dr. Chappelear added. “This is exciting. It is a great program for students who are preparing to go into the workforce and this removes the obstacle from building a work history they have past high school.”
