HC CIC talks revitalization loan, jail, power plant updates

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – Harrison County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen provided an update on the Rural Industrial Park Loan at the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation meeting held Tuesday, at the Puskarich Library.

Attempts to revive the program, which

was stated at last month’s meeting is to be worth anywhere from $500,000 up to $2 million. He said there is a follow up meeting coming Dec. 20 regarding the requirements for obtaining some of that money.

“There is a quick turnaround time, open for discussion from the board from the floor of any ideas of how to use the fund,” Homerighausen explained. He said it would be for

“land and/or building purchase, machinery and equipment purchase, building construction and/or renovation costs, long term lease… improvements and site preparation,” as some of the requirements for example.

Homrighausen continued with more examples such as bridge, road and street construction, other infrastructure needs, water and sewer line and wastewater treatment plant installation

dealing with excess capacity and numerous other needs that are eligible for the county.

“But it does require a minimum of a ten percent equity contribution from the borrower,” Homrighausen explained adding that they would have to take that into consideration. Loans for real estate are for 20 years and 10 years if acquiring machinery or equipment. He continued by

explaining that in some cases the loan could be forgivable “up to 100 percent…based on Ohio Development Services Agencies and view of the project.”

Homrighausen told members he is open for any suggestions in how to use the money if they do vote in favor of using the program and obtaining the money.

New Athens hears pitch from cable TV company for Internet

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

NEW ATHENS – With spots around the county vulnerable to weak Internet signals, among other things, New Athens council heard a pitch Tuesday evening from Massillon Cable TV representative Jeremy Lehman.

The ambition of the company was to occupy the village’s old cable building near the water tower as traffic enters from the north. The work to place only Internet service for the time being and would only be fiber optics, he told council. He said MCTV would put a new roof on the New Athens building and whatever else needs done.

Lehman said they have moved into the Freeport area and are almost finished there.

“We’re spreading all over southeastern Ohio,” Lehman said. And though they are based in Massillon they have offices in Wooster and Wayne County and recently have branched out in half dozen other communities in the surrounding counties. When asked about Cadiz he said it’s a possibility but they only use Verizon as a “backup” considering they’re already operating in Cadiz.

“If Verizon is there then we have the ability to go there,” he explained. “So, if there’s other communities around that don’t have decent Internet we’d love to know about it.” Lehman said they are looking to grow their company and “go into places that no one else will go.”

Lehman also told them that with the fiber optic lines they’ll be putting in the village would be going from the “Flintstones to the Jetsons,” but

Active shooter drill held at Harrison Career Center

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ – The Harrison Career Center (HCC) held an active shooter drill Tuesday at noon and except for real bullets, it was the real deal. Without warning, though the drill was activated at the scheduled time, Chief Deputy James Zusack, of the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office played the role of active shooter and began walking the halls blasting away.

The bullets used were blanks but the noise created was authentic and loud as he roamed the halls looking for victims.

Zusack said this was his 15th active shooter drill he’s participated in and described the different levels in how he can go about creating havoc.

From the time the announcement and call came through that there was an “active shooter” at the Career Center until the shooter was brought down was 12 minutes. Cadiz Police Chief Ryan McCann said it was a good time in response and finality of the event but felt there was much to learn with time that could possibly be shaved off of

those 12 minutes in a real situation.

“I feel confidant that’s a good time and we can do better,” he said of the exercise. No less than nine units, or organizations took part, which included the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP), Cadiz Police Department, Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management Agency, Hopedale and Harrison Community Hospital EMS services and the Scio Volunteer Fire Department with observations conducted by Wintersville Police Department and Harrison Hills City School District representatives.

Superintendent of HCC Rich Schoene explained that they are now required by state law to hold three training exercises with one being a full-scale drill like the one they just held. The other two are of a tabletop nature and the other an evaluation for a lockdown type of drill.

“Anytime you can bring first responders together it’s good training,” Schoene said. And all seemed to be pleased with how things went considering this was the first active shooter drill held in the county, Police and EMS swarm the Harrison Career Center for an active shooter drill that took place Tuesday afternoon.

drill was played out from beginning to end with student volunteers as victims and a make believe shooter that had to be found by police. “Victims” were actually taken to Harrison Community Hospital as if it were the real thing.

“This was a very unique situation,” Wilson stated. “I think that when we debrief there will have been lessons learned.”

He was especially impressed in how everything went well and that everyone knew what to do.

Zusack estimated, using a laser sight on his 9mm handgun that there were fourteen “victims” during the drill. The volunteer victims, played by students, were actually taken to Harrison Community Hospital for

He also said concerning interest, that it could be up to zero “for the first five years.”

President of the HCCIC Dale Arbaugh reminded members of a previous study done on potential development sites around the county, though, it hasn’t been completed as of yet.

“There are some sites highlighted, we’re just not at the point yet of talking to land owners, making commitments and so forth on that,” Arbaugh said. “So, purchasing additional land is really not on our agenda in the time frame for this, is what I’m getting at.” He told the members that they are

treatment they would have received if this were an actual occurrence.

Two troopers from the OSHP backed up a group of Cadiz officers led by Lt. Ron Carter who walked in a group searching corner by corner and room by room after entering the building.

Zusack, who was hidden in the back of the building inside the science classroom but was unknown to the Cadiz officers who had to find him. Carter located and “shot” Zusack as he was hiding underneath a table before popping up and “hitting” one of the officers, as the situation had to be played out to the fullest in order to learn from the situation.

active shooter and those principles in ALICE were applied and tested, according to Wilson and Zusack.

basically looking at improving the Industrial Park and its growth, which Homrighausen agreed noting site preparations in that area to make it more presentable to potential business looking for a place to move into.

When asked if there was any movement on the Emberclear’s Harrison Power Plant situation, Homrighausen could only say that they were planning on providing an update “in the near future.”

“Everything continues to move forward,” he stated. And a plant representative has met with Cadiz officials concerning the water treatment plant at least twice in the past several months. The Cadiz water plant needed an upgraded for the power plant and Emberclear did pledge $1 million to pay for those upgrades.

Emberclear has told local officials to expect something by the end of October or even

November, when Homrighausen was reminded of that he said Emberclear is aware and that they have recently spoken to each other.

“We were just in contact with them and they are very aware of that deadline,” Homrighausen explained.

Commissioner Don Bethel told the board and its members that an ongoing study is being conducted on the U.S. Armory building that the county had recently taken over for the purposes of a new jail, among other things. He said the study would include how many cells were needed but added some new information.

“We’re kind of maybe slowwalking this a tad simply because the state is thinking about putting funding for a new jail and additional new jails for upgrading or expanding new jails into the budget,” Bethel explained. He told members he’d asked state officials what if

the county had already moved forward on the project and received loan funding for example and the state then approves free funding, he was told “tough luck.”

He said the county would then not qualify for the state’s new funding if they would accept loan funding for their jail project. He said why should the county spend money if the state could possibly provide free money up to the full cost of the project, which he repeated as approximately $10 million.

Commissioner Dale Norris added that with help from the County Commissioners Association of Ohio, the county submitted a letter of intent “at ten point one million dollars to have this done as of this morning,” he told them Tuesday. Commissioner Paul Coffland said that they also plan to apply for Capital Bill funding, as well.

900 customers out of the 2,800.

When council member Nancy Martin asked about the price for potential customers in the village Lehman said it depended on the speed of the service the customer wanted.

Mayor Joe Petro suggested lending the old building out in exchange for free village business service, which Lehman was open to stating it was a “possibility.” He asked for an agreement to be written by the village before taking it to his CEO for consideration.

Lehman told council a bigger concern was getting the Internet supplied from Freeport into New Athens. He said there were 150 poles along the route

linking Ohio 519 with U.S. 22.

“That’s going to cost me a chunk of money,” he said, which he confirmed was approximately five miles in length. He also said some poles needed replaced and going underground would be even more expensive. Lehman noted the new 5G service being talked about was also a possibility with wireless by placing service on a pole along U.S. 22 or a tower.

Also council held a third reading for Ordinance (201903), which addresses water shutoffs after 30 days for delinquent customers nonpayments, “rescinding the prior 90-day shutoff period,” per Council Member Mark Arnold.

A third reading for Ordinance (2019-04) was also read addressing water and sewage rates for “non-profit organizations.” This ordinance reduces those rates to $100 each for the entire year. This takes effect in January.

“That’s going to help these people I know that,” Arnold said.

Another topic covered was Village Administrator Tosha Giesey and shutting customer’s water shutoff upon request when they leave town for the winter season. Giesey said she’s already had that kind of request and accommodated the customer.

Ambulance district still a hot topic

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – With details still to be worked out the Silver Spade Ambulance District (SSAD) continues to attract discussion like a magnet and the subject was again up for dissection at last Thursday’s Cadiz council meeting.

At the prior meeting it was first thought the SSAD had been rejected when the vote was three in favor, one against and one abstaining with another council member absent. But Village Solicitor Costa D. Mastros explained at this last meeting that on his way home after the prior meeting, his initial ruling that the ambulance district did not pass, “wasn’t sitting right with me.” He explained he began remembering a similar vote in the past, which paved the way for the reversal.

At the latest meeting under Old Business, Mastros raised the issue by reminding council of the memo he sent out several days before the meeting stating his reasons for the reversal including the citing of case law.

“So, the conclusion I came to was Ordinance, two thousand nineteen dash thirty-three actually passed that night,” he told council regarding the vote two weeks prior. He said the next move was for the mayor to execute the resolution followed by picking a Cadiz representative on the ambulance committee.

Mayor elect John Migliore asked if the vote had not passed what would the village do for ambulance service.

He was told the hospital would still provide service but as of now, they act only as backup service. Costa then reminded everyone that the voters, who will have their chance to decide on a levy to support the SSAD, still might turn the idea down.

The passing of the ambulance district now must wait 30 days before notifying the election board and Marchetta explained the ambulance district trustees must get together now and decide what the next step is.

Marchetta told council that one of those steps is an attempt to get a levy passed “You’ve passed an ordinance to form the Silver Spade Joint

Ambulance District,” Marchetta said.

“And the next step is for the trustees to meet…and to decide the levy amount to go to the voters.” Council also voted that the office of the mayor would represent Cadiz, which for now is Ken Zitko but soon to be Migliore as mayor-elect. The other three are Jim Ward (Green Township), Clint Barr (Cadiz Township) and Jonathan Cortez (Hopedale). And according to Marchetta Shaun Yoho will be his recommendation to be the fifth trustee on the board, which should be decided at their next meeting to be held this week.

Cadiz Community Improvement Corporation member Ken Mason was present and stated that after speaking with Harrison Community Hospital (HCH) Director Tony Martinelli at the hospital’s board meeting that same day, was told that the HCH was willing to increase their service if the District had not passed.

“They are willing to increase the number of ambulances that are required to support the county,” Mason said relaying what he was told, which was followed by Marchetta’s comments stating he was told the “exact opposite” of the information Mason had just provided.

He said this week that after attending an Oct 25 meeting involving hospital administration, he was told that HCH was “not interested in being in the 911 business,” other than only as a backup service.

When reached this week Martinelli would only say that, “we remain committed to high quality health care” in the community but would not comment on additional ambulances in the future, or clarify what was said to whom.

Council member John Vermillion stated bluntly after acknowledging that HCH provides backup service, it wasn’t good enough for the village of Cadiz just to have that based on his experience as a first responder.

Mason responded by stressing that even if an ambulance levy does not pass next March there would still be ambulance service in the village, as HCH is under contract to provide backup service in the county.

Ohio Oil & Gas partners with Toys for Tots to distribute in Cadiz CADIZ — The Ohio Oil and Gas Association (OOGA) partnered again with Toys for Tots to distribute toys to needy families in Cadiz on Tuesday.

Mike Chadsey of OOGA said the Ohio Oil and Gas Association has partnered with Toys for Tots for the last six years and they way it works is

that they have an operator or producer adopt each county.

“Many people give checks and cash and donations of toys, and our role as an organization is to distribute them,” he said.

Chadsey went on to say that they raised about $25,000 in total for the week. He noted they started out six years ago

with one operator in one county and have grown to six operators in six counties, and in that first year they raised between $3,000 and $5,000 and are now up to $25,000. “We’ve gotten more efficient and better about publicizing, ‘hey, we’re here to help,’ so we’re casting a wider net,” he said.

The group had toys available for all age groups on hand from babies to teens. It was noted that while the economy in eastern Ohio is improving, there is still a need, especially around Christmas. The program ran through Harrison, Belmont, Jefferson, Carroll, Monroe, and Columbiana counties

Bowerston Village Council discusses water rates By: JACQUIE HUMPHREY NH Correspondent

BOWERSTON - At the December meeting of the Bowerston Village Council, the proposed utility rate increase that was discussed at the November meeting was tabled for the time being. Village Administrator Megan John advised that when the rate increase was being considered at the November meeting, the rates for customers consuming in excess 12,001 gallons was not adjusted.

Income Tax Administrator Janeen Scott was present at the meeting and explained to Council that both the old and new rate schedules for the Village are not taking into consideration the usage between 3,000 and 12,000 gallons. A lengthy discussion took place with Council deciding to table the matter until the January meeting. New rates are expected to be in place by March, 2020.

In other discussion, John reported that the Village currently has 14 utility accounts that are two months delinquent and

scheduled for disconnection on Dec. 18. Utility Billing Clerk Karen Kinney was present at the meeting and advised that she normally has shut off issues settled prior to the actual date. Council discussed the fact that a policy needs to be established to bring delinquent accounts into compliance, as the new Ordinance governing utility deposits will require customers whose service is suspended to pay a $125 dollar deposit for each of the water and sewer utilities.

Other Action:

- Heard third reading of, and passed unanimously, Ordinance 2019-3, updated utility deposits.

- Approved full time employee to training in Dover in January.

- Mandated monthly training status reports from full time employee.

Approved temporary appropriations for 2020.

- Accepted donation of Dell B2360 printer.

The next regular meeting of the Bowerston Village Council will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 21, at 7 p.m. in the Village hall.

In the Northern hemisphere the winter solstice takes on quite a meaning, cold, dark and snow.

Funding for Scio’s 646 intersection being pursued

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

SCIO – Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh again addressed the issue of the Ohio 646 intersection Wednesday that sits just around the corner from the municipal building.

The ongoing issue of wear and tear by oil and gas vehicles continues with Tubaugh explaining all four catch basins in that intersection where it meets E. College Street, are tied together, which complicates things.

Council member Andrew Turner kicked off the discussion when he first asked about a water line that may be running underneath the intersection that has not been replaced. Tubaugh confirmed that but Treasurer Trish Copeland interjected and suggested they should fix that, meaning the state. Tubaugh explained that the waterlines have nothing to do with drainage there and it would be difficult to get the state to pay for that repair as well.

“It would be on us to fix it,” he told her adding that the issue was separate from the catch basins being run over by trucks.

“Trish, I can only squeeze a

turnip so much,” Tubaugh said.

“That five hundred thousand I can see them crying from over here. It’s hard enough getting that much out of them…”

Council member Gordon Kress said it would also be difficult to prove that it’s the state’s responsibility, which Tubaugh agreed.

He said of the catch basins that several of them are crushed and are constantly being exposed to the big trucks running over them.

“They weren’t designed for that,” he told council, “I don’t care what ODOT says or what their spec sheet says. I agree now they are…” He said but when built in the 50s they were not.

He said if they can get the $500,000 worth of funding from ODOT then they would “make it right.”

Other issues addressed were a possible loan forgiveness opportunity Tubaugh talked about during his regular report.

“We can have any lead line in the village on that project replaced at no cost to the homeowner, it will be paid for by loan forgiveness by the EPA,” Tubaugh explained regarding a waterline project that could be “coupled” with a lead line

replacement.

Tubaugh said he wasn’t sure who may or may not have lead lines but curb-stop to the house, is the homeowner’s responsibility and that is where the mystery lies. Tubaugh said he would be submitting a letter of intent to Ohio EPA in order to obtain additional funding, “in case we do get the lead service line (project),” while reminding council that it would be free for the residents. He called it a win-win for both village and residents, as it is no cost.

“I think it’s a great thing,” he stated. “I wished they would have done it from the curb-stop to the house, not just the corpstop (corporation where it runs from the main to the curb-stop) but, I’ll take it…” Tubaugh called it a “great program.”

Tubaugh said there has been feedback from numerous communities, which may provoke changes in the future where he stated that if a lead line isn’t changed out from the main to the curb-stop then the whole purpose is defeated.

“It’s not my opinion, it’s a fact because you still have a lead service line from the corp-stop to your curb-stop…you’re still

drinking water from a lead line,” Tubaugh said in reference to changing the line leading into a home but not changing it from the main to the curb-stop.

Also, Tubaugh stated that the village website has been updated with the holiday schedule posted. Also, Income Tax Administrator Janeen Scott still has seven LMI studies left to fill out before meeting the quota and encourages residents who have not done so, to please come forward or at least answer that phone call or door knock.

Tubaugh also announced that it is illegal to have a well in a public water system jurisdiction.

He said the concern was crosscontamination and recommended to council the termination of services for anyone who does have a well in the village’s jurisdiction.

“That will keep us in good graces with the Ohio EPA, southeast district office,” he recommended for their solicitor to draw up a legal document to “terminate all their services or that, or offer them the option to pay the tap-in fee and get on all public services. There will be no wells in 2020 in the village of Scio.”

Stinespring trial rescheduled for May

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewherald.com CADIZ – This week Ron and Ty Stinespring appeared in Elliot County, Kentucky court for a pretrial hearing Monday where both defendants and attorneys were asked if they would be ready for their scheduled Feb. 11 trial date.

The answer was an emphatic “no” and the trial was then put off until May of 2020 by Judge Rebecca Phillips.

The defendants asked for photographs of the scene where evidence was secured, photographed and taken. The prosecution however, stated that

they did not have those photographs as of now but told the court they do want them analyzed.

The Stinesprings are expected back in court for another January 2020, pre-trial hearing.

Ron Stinespring is being represented by Michael Hart and Ty is bring represented by Jason Hart of Apollo Law out of Frankfurt, Ky. In local court news, Michael Fletcher appeared briefly before Judge T. Shawn Hervey in the court of common pleas where he is facing a theft charge, a felony of the fourth degree. Fletcher’s appearance, who was represented

by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola, was brief but a bit testy as

he told Hervey that he was lied to.

Fletcher was assessed back in November for potentially entering an in-patient treatment center with the results in favor of Fletcher entering one in Bellaire “on furlough.” Hervey said the assessment would be accepted where it would “put a hold” on Fletcher’s case. Hervey did add that if Fletcher did not complete the program it would be a violation against him and new charges could be brought down on him.

When Hervey asked Pincola if that is what his client would like to do he answered in the negative.

Then he turned to Fletcher to make sure but that is when Fletcher said he’d been lied to,

which appeared to irk Judge Hervey somewhat.

“Who lied to you Mr. Fletcher?” he asked raising his voice. He was told by Fletcher that he was to be assessed by Crossroads, which is a local counseling center. Hervey disagreed and told him he did not get to decide the terms in his courtroom and would also not get out of jail when he decided.

Fletcher told Hervey he understood and that was the end of it.

Hervey recessed after stating for the record that Fletcher did not wish to subject himself to the treatment that was offered and the matter would be set for trial.

Adena to seek grant for safety equipment

By JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com ADENA – Mayor-elect Brenda Roski was given permission Tuesday to seek several grants for which the village is eligible. She said she attended the Smithfield Township meeting recently and told council they are eligible for a $500 Moore grant. Roski said it was for safety equipment. She asked and received the go ahead from council to pursue that grant.

“You follow through with it Brenda, it will get done,” Gaffney told her after Roski acknowledged she was not yet in her term-limit rights. Roski also noted that for the Jefferson County Planning Commission, they did not make their 10 meetings required for this year. She also asked for permission to attend “I want you to tell me that you want me to go, I’m not stepping on

anybody’s toes,” she said. A motion to Roski to attend and represent the village was approved for the December meeting.

Also, Treasurer Bobbie Gaffney talked about renewing the village’s contract with Kimble Waste Management. She said the village has received a new contract but Gaffney stated she informed Kimble that they would not sign the contract unless certain provisions have been met.

One sticking point is large Kimble trucks traveling through the village’s narrow alleys and tearing up the surface over time.

“I told them we will not sign this contract or vote on it, until I have it written into the contract that these alleys…” she began to explain that they did not want the rates raised any more than necessary. She was also told that Kimble has room for 130 pickups within the village.

Gaffney said she would like the list kept under the figure of 130.

Gaffney said she wants written in the contract that Kimble would be responsible for the damage to their roads, as she stated some people are now arranging their garbage pickup in the back where the alleys are located instead of the front of the house or business. She said the Kimble representative agreed with her on that matter.

“So that’s where we are with Kimble’s,” Gaffney told council and Roski. Another issue raised was when Roski noted that the garbage bin at the football field is filled “every week” and asked who was doing that. Gaffney said it was the patrons in the village.

“Your wonderful cheap a_ses,” she said sarcastically, “pardon my French but that’s what they are.” Roski said she felt it was time that they kept tabs on who in the village was dumping and where they were doing it, calling it “ridiculous.”

“If you don’t mind I’d like to have

that in the contract, that we still have those,” Roski said referring to the 130 pickups, which Gaffney said is already in the contract. Gaffney said the contract, which was $12.39 a month would now be $13.95 but paid every three months.

“To me they’re very reasonable,” she told council adding that the contract is a one year extension and that it is exclusive between the village and Kimble’s.

In one other issue Village Solicitor Adam Martello noted the basic code book for the village would need published. He said it would need posted “just like any other ordinance.” Gaffney said, with Police Chief Paul Carpenter’s help, would have it posted in various businesses around the town.

Roski also stated that an official swearing in of all newly elected officials would take place at the American Legion on Dec. 29, at 5 p.m.

Kobe Mitchell drives up court against Bellaire’s A.J. McCarthy during last Friday’s Buckeye Eight South Division matchup. Mitchell is averaging an impressive 32-points a game through the first three victories of the season for the Huskies.

Mitchell races Huskies out to 3-0 season start By: D.J. WATSON NH Sports Writer

CADIZ – Harrison Central’s AllOhio point-guard Kobe Mitchell already appears to be in midseason form. The Huskies have opened up their 2019-20 hardwood campaign with three consecutive victories, and Mitchell has led the charge in all three outings.

For the first time in school history, the Huskies opened a season as the home team on a floor other than that of the John W. Stephenson Center.

The gymnasium on the grounds of the new Harrison Central campus

played host to a sizable crowd on the evening before the Thanksgiving holiday, as the Huskies ran away from the Indian Creek Redskins.

The Redskins had largely kept pace with the Huskies through the first half, trailing the favored home squad 35-29 at the break. It was the third quarter that pushed the Huskies into a comfortable state for the final frame. Mitchell teamed up with Cruz Capers and Sam Santille to outscore the Redskins 16-5 out of the locker rooms. Mitchell, who led all scorers with 26, dropped six of Harrison’s eight points in the fourth to ice the game away.

Capers, who appears primed to

step into a new role as a scoring threat for the Huskies, dropped 17-points. He found the bottom of the net four times from beyond the arc. Transfer student Alexis Flor marked the sheet for six, and big men Jonathan Vermillion and Santille netted five each. The Redskins were paced by Mike Kuczykowski and Isiah Vandine, both finishing with ten points.

A long layoff followed the Indian Creek victory, as nine days separated the Huskies from their second win of the young season.

The Huskies topped the Bellaire Big Reds 73-52 last Friday evening in the All-American City. While the final score spells blowout, Bellaire had actually cut the

Huskies lead to eight at one point in the fourth. Mitchell, who had two defenders on him most of the night whether he had the ball or not, still managed to lead all scorers with 30-points. Ten of those 30 came in the final eight minutes, as the Big Reds appeared to be looking for a late game upset bid. Santille poured in 17 in the effort on the river, with Flor marking the third Harrison player in double digits with ten points.

Capers finished with eight, and gridiron standout Cale McAfee added six.

This past Tuesday, Harrison returned to their new home to take on the Martins Ferry Purple Riders. Coming off a 17-7 season,

two of Harrison’s seven losses last year came at the hands of the Purple Riders. Losses that played a large part in the Huskies missing out on a shot at both the Buckeye Eight and OVAC titles a year ago.

With revenge on the mind, the Huskies dropped a solid effort on the Purple Riders. Harrison was firmly in control of the contest that ended 67-48, and once again Mitchell was ready for the challenge. The guard lit the lamps with consistency all night, ending the scoring blitz with 40-tallies and yet another game-high honor.

In a bout that never remained close, the Huskies led by double digits at the end of every quarter.

Vermillion and Flor supplemented

Mitchell’s effort at six points each; while Capers, McAfee, and Santille all pocketed five on the night.

The Huskies have a big early season matchup with rival St. Clairsville on the road this weekend, before returning home next Tuesday to take on Union Local. Next weekend likely holds the Huskies stiffest test of the season, as they’ll square off with Dublin Scioto in the Buckeye Eight Challenge on the campus of Ohio University Eastern. The sixth edition of the showcase event has six games on tap, with the Huskies and the Irish (based out of Columbus) scheduled for the nightcap at 7:45.

Lady Huskies basketball collects first win; moves to 1-2

By ED BANKS

NH Sports Writer

CADIZ - Following a 54 - 31 loss in St. Clairsville, the Lady Huskies (now 1 and 2) moved into the win column with a 55 46 victory over the Lady Wildcats at Edison High School on Monday night. The game ended even after 8 minutes (9 9), but a lot was yet to happen,

as the Huskies took the fourth period and turned it in to a game changer.

McKayla Dunkle was a beast underneath all contest long, while adding 28 points to the Huskies’ effort. She owned the inside game on both offense and defense, claiming most of the game’s rebounds. On the other side of the ball supporting Dunkle’s 28 points were Lexi

Carter warming up to her downtown shooting exhibitions with three long range goals, and Britton Positano throwing-in 8 points off scattered deuces.

Dunkle ended the first 16 minutes with 15 points.

“It was a breakout game for McKayla,” said head coach Nick Yourkovich. “We expect that from her as well as need that from here. She got a lot of

experience last year as a freshman. This is something she can build of going forward. It should give her confidence going into the rest of the season.

Hopefully this continues throughout the season,” Yourkovich added.

The Huskies would own a slim 2-point lead going into the break, before putting on an 8point run for a 34-24 lead. They

would lead 37 - 24 going into final frame, before another run of 7-point run put them on easy street. Maddy Butler had 4 points, Mackenzie Harbold 6, and Kayln Ledger 1.

On the following Monday night, the Huskies entertained the visiting Lady Jets of Union Local. The reserves opened the evening with a two-quarter show that saw the first quarter

Cadiz Women’s Civic Club hold December dinner and meeting CADIZ — The Cadiz Women’s Civic Club held their annual Christmas dinner and meeting, Dec. 5, at Harrison Community Hospital with 17 members present.

Jackie Dunlap provided inspiration to the club by reading a passage about the four stages of life and a story about her own grandchildren and the meaning of Christmas.

After a delicious meal from the hospital, Tony Martinelli, Senior Administrator at Harrison Community Hospital, spoke about new providers, updates that are occurring at the

hospital, and how the 24 hours services offered at the hospital helps the community.

During the business meeting, the November minutes and the treasurer’s report were accepted as presented. In old business, the club discussed a donation of a basket to the Harrison County Cancer Crusaders (HCCC) Quarter Action that took place Dec. 2. The Civic Club members who attended the event said it was a success and the basket the club donated helped the HCCC to raise money for their cause. In new business, Kathy Depew

informed the club of a schedule change for the April meeting. In lieu of a program/speaker, the club will be brainstorming new ways to help the community in addition to the monetary donations already provide to the community and other organizations.

The next meeting will be March 5, 2020 at 7 p.m. at Harrison Community Hospital when Allison Anderson, Harrison County Auditor, will be speaking. You can find them on Facebook at fb.me/cadizwomenscivicclub

Harrison Coal & Reclamation Park issues year-end update

By ESTHER MCCOY The Harrison Coal and Reclamation Historical Park Inc. has issued a year-end update of its happenings that started 25 years ago. And now the annual dinner and auction held on May 11, 2019 last year is celebrating a silver anniversary. It was held at Wallace Lodge in Sally Buffalo Park this past year and it was mentioned that it is appropriate to hold the dinner in this setting since Consolidation Coal has given to and helped develop the park for the village and Harrison County.

The appearance of Steve Hook, retired Central Ohio Coal Company engineer and current Morgan County engineer, at the dinner was appropriate as he spoke on the life and times of the world’s largest walking dragline, “The Big Muskie.” It was dedicated May 22, 1969, and would be observing its 50th anniversary that May. As with all giant

machines of the past 50 years, the Big Muskie stopped working in 1991 and was scrapped in 1999. The only reminder of its past life is the 220 cubic yard bucket that was saved and is now on display at the Miners Memorial Park, McConnelsville, Ohio.

The Muskie weighed 13,500 tons and was 22 stories tall, with a boom that was 310 feet long.

The interest of HCRHP comes from the fact that the group was given three links from the drag chain from the bucket, each weighing 17,000 pounds. And this is on display at the Coal and Reclamation Park. Going to the computer, pull up Miners Memorial Park and the park can be viewed, with pictures of the Muskie and the bucket. The 16th annual Construction and Mining Equipment Show was held Sept. 7 and 8 in 2019 and was one of the best attended shows to date. The 17th annual show will be held Sept. 12-13, 2020.

Because of scheduling

problems, 2020’s Dinner and Auction will be held at the Hopedale Fire Hall in its social room. This will be May 9, 2020 with doors opening at 4:30 p.m. and dinner at 5:30 p.m. The speaker will be Chris Runyan, president of the Ohio Contractors Association.

Something new at the event will be a Chinese auction, never held before. Tickets will be $20 each. More details will be available in a later newsletter.

A 2020 annual meeting will be held March 7, 2020, at the Harrison County History of Coal Museum, 200 East Market Street, Cadiz, Ohio 43907. There will be an election of officers and directors, membership, review and furthering officer plans, discussing fund raising and more. Anyone interested n becoming an officer or director on a committee is urged to attend. Meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at the Visitors Center.

The winners are as follows listed first place and on from left to right.

Friends of the Library holds Christmas at the Lodge

By ESTHER MCCOY CADIZ – The Friends of the Library held a “gently used” book sale of children’s books, cookbooks and all types of authors for adult reading at the “Christmas at the Lodge” event held Nov. 7. There were also three holiday baskets; two adult and one for children, to stow numbers and a ticket was drawn from each jar to determine

winners. Joyce Brown, Sue Adams and others provided the baskets that brought in $217.

Carole Bates, FOL secretary, had pillows in all types of fabrics, including Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Steelers, cartoons, 4-H designs, flowers and other designs; along with holiday table and dresser scarves and pillow cases for sale as well.

There was a poster showing the many types of “Little

Libraries” that are planned for areas where there is no official library building.

Dennis Hirschbach will be making the small libraries in various designs. They will contain adult and children’s books that can be borrowed and brought back to the same facility. This has been a plan of the FOL since last summer.

One of the small libraries will be revealed in the near future.

Sam Bates is president.

Cadiz Lions club serves up pancakes & sausage Janet Carr, left, and Marla Mullenax show off the Christmas items that were part of the Christmas Cabin at many of the past Unionport Apple Stirrin’ events. There were lantern lights, appetizer trays, candles, twinkle lights and many other items for sale at half the price that was marked. Since the Apple Stirrin’ events were called to a halt due to the lack of workers after 2018, they had a supply of Christmas items from the Christmas Cabin and these were on sale as well as their fresh baked gingerbread boy cookies and other varieties.

Capital Health holds Christmas Bazaar in Hopedale

By ESTHER MCCOY HOPEDALE – Capital Health, Gables Care Center Inc.,held a Christmas Bazaar with vendors showcasing all types of holiday decorations, wreaths, dinnerware, grave blankets, holiday cookies and knitted toboggans and scarves with a nice crowd in attendance.

One of the vendors was the former Unionport Apple Stirrin’ group. Their last event was in 2018, with 30 years of hard work and with fewer helpers and some unable to

work anymore, they decided to bring their holiday wares to the Christmas Bazaar. In days past there was a Christmas Cabin with all types of holiday decorations, dishes, wreaths and candles.

With these unsold items carefully stored away, they brought them to Hopedale to be sold. Janet Carr, who was on the festival committee for many years, and Marla Mullenax, worked the table but there were many other committee members working the tables.

And the price of everything was cut in half.

Another big item of the past Apple Stirrin’ was the Gingerbread Boy House and those cookies along with many other varieties were sold at the bazaar. Bonnie Ault was always in charge of the baking, along with Mullenax, and they mixed up some of their famous cookies that were on sale as well. Their gingerbread boy cookies have always been a favorite of the children. They looked just like the cookies of years past but with a fresh taste.

There was a Chinese auction and full house of vendors participating in the event.

Ed Moore was the second in command at another grill.

Leonard Ferrari was flipping pancakes. Many others were offering the breakfast items, asking, “One, two or three pancakes ?,” and the same with sausage patties. There were table cleaners, beverage attendants, those who cleared the tables, another on the lookout of a shortage of syrup, butter, sugar or the sweet, powdered stuff, and cream. George Bedway was seated at the collection table.

All that is required is a small or large donation to help the club with various projects and needs.

Commissioners approve Harrisville aid

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – Harrisville’s wastewater system problems, which were on display at the Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting two weeks ago, received some backing by the commissioners for possible aid. At the Harrison County Commissioner’s meeting Wednesday morning Resolution (42-19), which deals with the Harrisville wastewater system issues they’ve been having, received the commissioners support to pursue Community Development Block Grant funding.

Reported in the Nov. 30 News-

Herald edition was the fact that Harrisville has been having problems since their new plant had been installed a mere five years ago.

In that meeting two weeks ago, Mayor Sheri Friend and E.L. Robinson Engineer Bob Allen appeared before the commissioners asking for help, as well as to inform them of the extent of that village’s problems.

“In section two, Harrison County Commissioners agreed to obligate up to two hundred thousand dollars to satisfactorily complete the project,” per Coffland’s reading of the ordinance. He reminded everyone that there still was not a guarantee that Harrisville would receive the funding. He then

motioned for the approval of the ordinance, which passed.

Also, Auditor Allison Anderson announced dogs tags were being sold since Dec. 1. But a bigger announcement was that there were two websites within the state of Ohio that are attempting to “fraudulently sell dog licenses.”

Anderson later provided information and a warning of those sites, which follows: “The sites ohdog-license.com and ohiodoglicense.com are fraudulently selling fake dog licenses to unsuspecting dog owners. The fake sites, which attempt to mimic an official website, claims to provide illegal discounts to senior citizens.

Consumers are advised that all dog licenses sold by the Harrison County Auditor’s office arrive in physical form, and can only be purchased online at https://www.doglicenses.us/OH/ Harrison/.

Anyone with questions can call the Harrison County Auditor’s Office at (740) 942-8861.

Another announcement Anderson provided was that her office is now providing a Harrison County real estate search on the county’s website.

“So, anyone can go to the Harrison County website (https://www.harrisoncountyohio. org/auditors-office) and you can search all of your tax, real estate

information,” she told the board.

“The Public will now be able to access their personal parcel information at any time and businesses will be able to complete their Real Estate work in a much more time-efficient and convenient manner. This is a much-needed technological update, as Harrison County was one of few counties left in the State of Ohio that were not available online.”

In other items addressed, three Road Use Maintenance Agreements (RUMA) were also approved. Commissioner Paul Coffland provided the reading of the agreements with the first one (74-19) being with EAP Ohio

LLC, of Houston, Texas.

Coffland said the request was for use of Harrison 44 in Monroe and North Townships, for 6.15 miles.

He said the purpose was for “drilling activity.”

The second RUMA (75-19) was with Denoon Lumber for use of Harrison 47 in Rumley Township.

The purpose is for “timber harvesting” and would be for .14 miles.

The third RUMA (76-19) was for water transporting by Gulfport Appalachia LLC, out of Oklahoma City, Ok. The mileage on this agreement is for .45 miles of Harrison 10. All three RUMAs were approved.

Harrison County Genealogy Society elects new officers CADIZ — The Harrison County Genealogy Society (HCGS) held their last meeting for 2019 on Monday, Nov. 25 at 1 p.m. at the Puskarich Public Library.

The program was "Sharing Old Letters and Diary Entries". Pam Ronsheim Gibson shared with the group "Memories of the Cadiz Republican" by her grandmother Isabelle McConnell Ronsheim. She read from Isabelle's memoir, telling of the sights, sounds, and smells she remembered from the offices. There were stories about the people who worked there and about their dedication.

Names like Harry B. McConnell, Milton Ronsheim (who started as a printers devil) and the Chaney sisters. Rena Glover Goss spoke of her ancestors William Glover, Jefferson Custer Glover and George Glover. She read a letter that George sent to his sister Susan, May 26, 1864 while serving with the 157th OVI at Fort Delaware working as a guard watching over Confederate soldiers. Kelley Snodgrass Michelli spoke about her Aunt Sissy and how she had saved family post cards and shared some from 1929, 1934, and 1940. Sue Adams brought a box of diaries that had been donated to the society that had belonged to Jacob Condo of

Germano, Ohio. She told the story of how readings in them was used to help a patron find information on her ancestor who was a minister at the German Reformed Church in Germano in the 1800s.

During the business meeting the Treasurer's report and the minutes were approved.

Donations were acknowledge: Stanley Toole, a clothes hanger from the J.V. Conner store in Cadiz; a hand drawn map of Cassville from Keith McKibben; pictures of miners at Duncanwood from Karen Beck Gammeter; a copy of a news clip of the Cassville hanging from Anne Dunlap and a bookmark from Sherry Porter Ossman from the Harrison County Recorders Office, telling of the Recorder's duties compliments of Laban C. Blackburn.

The “open” installation was held on December 7, 2019 at 3:00 PM. In his position as Master, Dyer is the presiding officer and head of the Lodge. The title of “Master,” instead of “President” reflects the Masonic tradition of using ceremonies and titles from the

Other officers installed during the ceremony were: Jason Tubaugh-Senior Warden; John Lovejoy-Junior Warden; William McGowan-Treasurer; Charles Bizzari-Secretary; John T. Morgan-Senior Deacon; Gary Edwards-Junior Deacon; Andrew

Godman-Senior Steward; Cody Sciarra-Junior Steward; Greg Starcher-Tyler and Rodney Kovacs-Chaplain.

Freemasonry is the oldest, largest and most widely recognized fraternal organization in the world. Today there are more than 2 million Freemasons in North America alone.

Charity is an important tenet of the Masonic fraternity. The 85,000 Freemasons in Ohio provided approximately 15

million dollars in charitable giving annually. This year they gave $50,000 in college scholarships, contributed over $200,000 to the Special Olympics Summer Games, and funded $70,000 in free training for hundred of Ohio school teachers to recognize students at non-academic risk through a seminar called MMSAP (Masonic Model Student Assistance Program).

They also provided $12 million in elderly care, and helped many

needy Ohio families and individuals through their Charitable Foundation. For more information about MMSAP please contact William McGowan 740-491-0349. Leave a message or text your interest in this valuable program to out Ohio schools.

Cadiz Business Associaiton announces Christmas decoration winners

By JD LONG

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – The Dec. 7 Cadiz Christmas parade was a rousing success noted by several officials in the community. On Wednesday the Cadiz Business Association (CBA) announced the winners in the window decorations for uptown and the outlying district.

For the outlying business district, Nancy’s Florist came in first with

H&R Block taking second place.

The Harrison County Home was awarded third place.

In the Flat window display, Harvey Goodman was first with Harrison County Visitor’s Center second and the Custer Pharmacy awarded third place.

For Holiday display, Utica was first, Madzia Barbershop second and the Rupert Beetham building was awarded third place. For the Judges Choice in best overall, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office was the

winner.

Also, Ben St. John, owner of the two Cadiz hotels, Microtel Inn & Suites and the Days Inn nominated Raye Ann Campbell as an at-large member of the CBA, which was approved. She joins President Teresa Posada, Vice President Trisha Mamula, Secretary Phyllis Snyder and Treasurer Nancy Davis. Other atlarge members are Shelley Coffelt, Jackie Hutyera and Judith Rhome.

Other issues discussed were the possibility of expanding the

Recognition Banquet and join up with the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce. The sticking point seemed to be that the CBA recognizes people in Cadiz while the chamber of commerce is countywide. Also discussed was where to have next year’s affair.

Vineyard 22 was one possibility but Commissioner Don Bethel, who was present, raised the issue that some might take issue with the fact that it is a Cadiz recognition banquet but if at Vineyard 22, would be outside the

village limits.

The group eventually decided on forming a committee to decide where the best place would be for the banquet. Food, pricing and location were thrown around as topics for debate. When the Sally Buffalo Lodge was brought up Jackie Hutyera stated that some just wanted to move the affair elsewhere plus, she said the Lodge is booked two years in advance for that time of the year.

Also, several had some ideas to think about with one being a gazebo

at the green space in uptown Cadiz, which sits next to the old bank building. St. John also offered the idea of a real estate owners group.

Posada also suggested the parade planning begin earlier with orange cones with placement numbers on them, in order to prevent vehicles from parking where the lineup forms.

That idea appeared to be well received with more discussion deemed better for a future committee meeting.

Annual Deer-Gun Week concludes for Ohio Hunters; over 63K deer harvested COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio’s white-tailed deer hunters finished the weeklong gun season with 63,493 deer taken, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. During the 2018 season, 60,752 deer were harvested during the same period.

“Ohio hunters took full advantage of a great week of deer hunting,” said Mike Tonkovich, Ohio Division of Wildlife deer program administrator. “The fall weather has been the most hunterfriendly we’ve seen in a long time, and this year’s harvest is certainly proof of that. The deer harvest is a direct result of our ongoing efforts to align Ohio’s wild deer herd with the interests of the majority of Ohio’s farmers and hunters. This has been and will continue to be the backbone of Ohio’s deer program.”

Top 10 counties for deer harvest during the weeklong deer-gun season include: Coshocton (2,322),

Tuscarawas (2,127), Muskingum (1,972), Ashtabula (1,901), Knox (1,771), Guernsey (1,734), Licking (1,514), Carroll (1,473), Holmes (1,465), and Washington (1,464).

Through Dec. 1, 2019, 76,822 deer were taken by Ohio archery hunters. Plus, Ohio’s youth hunters checked 6,234 white-tailed deer during the 2019 two-day youth gun season, Nov. 23-24.

Ohio offers many more opportunities for hunters to pursue deer. Deer-gun season resumes for two days, Dec. 21-22. Deermuzzleloader season is Saturday, Jan. 4, through Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2020. Deer-archery season is open now through Sunday, Feb. 2, 2020.

Find complete details in the 20192020 Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.gov. For summaries of past deer seasons, visit wildohio.gov/deerharvest.

Ohio is a popular hunting destination for many out-of-state hunters. To date in 2019, more than 34,000 nonresident Ohio

hunting licenses have been sold.

The top five states for purchasing a nonresident hunting license in Ohio include: Pennsylvania (6,490), Michigan (4,294), West Virginia (3,717), North Carolina (2,816) and New York (2,365).

The Ohio Division of Wildlife wants to provide you the tools to get started on a new hunting adventure. Anyone interested in learning to hunt or becoming a mentor to a new hunter can visit the Wild Ohio Harvest Community Page for information on how to get started, huntingrelated workshops as well as special hunting opportunities for mentors and new hunters.
