NEW PHILADELPHIA — The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) held its first in-person meeting since February 2020 with much on its plates. One issue in particular that received a lot of attention was the deadline missed for the Tappan Marina opening, which has now been over a month ago. June 18 was the original date, but some board members doubted it could meet that goal earlier this year.

Chief Engineer Boris Slogar said the project was “rounding third and heading for home” but spoke of the frustration while attempting to answer questions by board member Joanne Limbach.

He did supply a new completion date; the contractor told him it was Aug. 25. Slogar said the kitchen is nearly completed, and the building has air conditioning; drywall and flooring are being worked on now. Limbach asked Slogar if he was surprised at the project’s current status and if it could influence the current contract with Dennison Yard, the vendor who will operate the marina, while also recalling his confidence for the June opening.

“I really can’t give you a good answer on schedules,” Slogar explained. Slogar added that the contractor told him they were still on schedule as they entered June. “I don’t have any insight into the contractor’s proposed schedule, manpower [or] what they’re planning to pour into the project.” Slogar stated the scheduling

question is asked at every progress meeting but added he has no choice other than to agree with the contractor’s word.

“Listen, I completely understand; it’s been frustrating for us as well in trying to manage the project,” Slogar said. “How the contractor decides to handle the project is entirely up to them.

We have no leverage. The only leverage we have once a contract is underway is the application of liquidated damages should they pass the scheduled dates that have been agreed upon by the contractors.”

Limbach suggested it would be cheaper for the contractor to pay those liquidated damages ($900 per day does not apply to Dennison Yard) than to finish the job on time. Limbach then followed up with what the district could do to combat that kind of option. Slogar countered with the scenario that if they upped the liquidated damages amount, the contractor would view it as a risk then “front-load” their estimate.

“There is no magic bullet,” Slogar told the board, adding that his department is frustrated as well.

“We’re frustrated the project is running behind, absolutely... we’re doing all we can, but there are limits to how far we can go with the contractor.

They truly are at the controls of what they want to do.”

Limbach also stressed the financial consequences over a possible “snowball effect” if the delay continues further because of the contract with Dennison Yard and whether it might be

The issue was discussed at MWCD’s July meeting, where a new opening date of Aug. 25 was announced. Frustration was expressed, and questions were asked about what could be done regarding the contractor and an expedited schedule.

The new site is a work in progress, though. Formerly an old post office, the Cumberworths bought the building — one that’s historical and well-traveled — after seeing the potential it held. And keep that concept in the back of your mind; the two business owners have made a living on actualizing the potential in furniture, old tools and equipment, utensils and appliances, wainscoting and tin roofing, and even a coin collection tray from an old soap dispenser. And the new Farmhouse Remnants building, however, is a story all its own. As mentioned, it used to be a post office, and the recently revealed ornate coffered ceiling is apropos of the building’s former life. But that same space in another era was also a laundry mat.

Both of the building’s prior incarnations have given the Cumberworths unique challenges, and the deconstruction and reconstruction is

The laundry mat left its mark, too. Walls had previously been lined with commercial washers and dryers, all of which had all been coin-operated. So Brian and Holly, during the laundry machine removal, were left with handfuls of quarters. “Quarters everywhere!” Holly exclaimed when detailing the process. And Brian added that they found “around $50 to $60 worth.” More so, the Cumberworths — with the help of their son, Nate — were able to add to that coin collection afterSee dismantling a left-beCOVID - Pg. 2 hind soap dispenser.

The massive piece of machinery has been idle since October 2019, and its time is over. Part of that has been driven by a coal industry decline after a late-2000s peak. Some of it’s been more recent COVID ripples, but increased efforts for environment conservation have been a significant driving force. While the shovel is signing off in 2021, it wasn’t that long ago that the coal industry was peaking; those glory days aren’t in the so distant past.

Teresa’s Tales

Kakra Yankah: a Ghanian’s stay in Cadiz

BY TERESA DULAC

Kakra Yankah, 51, is originally from Ghana, located in Africa’s western, sub-Saharan region. Yankah was called to Cadiz, Ohio, to work on a company project just two months ago, and he’s enjoyed it every day.

Harrison County has been one of Yankah’s favorite places he’s been sent to work. “I would say my favorite part is the calmness,” answered Yankah. “It’s a place where if you have an aim, you can concentrate. There are not many distractions here to draw you away from your purpose of coming here, which is very good...New York, California, places like that, there’s distractions all over the place.”

Yankah has a wife and three children back in Ghana and is currently in the United States to support them. He plans on going back at the end of the year to spend Christmas with his family. He notes that it is difficult to be away from them, but that he’s become accustomed to a life of international travel.

Growing up, Yankah and his siblings attended school first in Ghana and then in Cuba. His parents did all they could to ensure the success of their children—and that they did. His twin brother went on to become a chemical engineer and his sister, a pediatrician here in the states. “I went up to junior high in Ghana,” shared Yankah, “then I continued in Cuba: junior and senior years of high school and then university in Cuba. I got [a college degree in] electrical engineering in Cuba, a Bachelor of Science.”

Yankah has previously been working in the United States for some time now, and has been sent to places like North Dakota and Kentucky for his job. But he says he is happy to now be located in Ohio. His international travel has brought him many diverse experiences, but he draws similarities between Harrison County and his home country. Yankah comes from one of nine major tribes in Ghana, the Fante tribe, who place a lot of importance on their freedom and their families, much like midwest Ohioans. “Ghana was the first Saharan country to have their independence,” said Yankah.

“It’s pretty much something that we brag about and talk about, that we’re known for being one of the first African countries to have their independence.”

Yankah also noted the complications of language and cultural barriers, and that his faith in God is how he overcomes those difficulties. “There are people sometimes who say, ‘Oh, I have never heard of Ghana before,’ then other places where they know what it is. People have different mentalities,

Photo provided by Teresa Dulac Kakra Yankah, hailing from Ghana, Africa, has recently been assigned to work in Cadiz, OH. He brags that Harrison County is one of the “kindest places in the United States” in his experience.

different perceptions. I have been to places where people have asked me when I talked about Ghana, ‘Do they have electricity?’.

I never take offense because I understand that we are not the same. We were not grown, raised in the same place,” He explained that Ghana has many tribal symbols that conceptualize mannerisms, phrases, or ideas. For example, there are symbols for words such as “justice,” “freedom,” and “knowledge” in Ghana.

Yankah’s favorite symbol is “Gye Nyame,” which represents the supremacy of God over all — even his struggles. “Out of all the tribes, nations, there’s only one person,” explained Yankah. “That symbol represents God, the all-omnipotent God, the creator of the universe.”

Yankah mentioned that those misunderstood interactions have been happening less and less in Cadiz. He said he is appreciative of the friendly atmosphere of the locals and is grateful for the town’s peaceful nature.

“You know, America is a diverse cultural country, people from different countries, people from different backgrounds, plus, it’s a dream country,” Yankah added. “I’ve been around the country quite a bit, and when I do the comparison, I can see how people around here are very friendly...I’ve been to so many other states, but the people here are very sociable!”

Harrison County and the surrounding area is quickly becoming a home away from home for Yankah. “I don’t know if I’ve been able to go everywhere around here, but so far, I’ve been to restaurants.

There’s one called Ranch to Table,” recalled Yankah. “Looking around, that was the first place I was thinking, ‘That was good food.

Harrison County may be quaint, but that doesn’t affect the ambience of the small town of Cadiz, Ohio — nor does it affect Kakra Yankah’s enjoyment of it. “I was told it [Cadiz] used to be livelier back in the day,” concluded Yankah, “But you know, despite this place being small, there’s a lot going on.”

USDA announces pandemic assistance for timber harvesters and haulers

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is providing up to $200 million to provide relief to timber harvesting and hauling businesses that have experienced losses due to COVID-19, part of USDA’s Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative. Loggers and truckers can apply for assistance through USDA’s Farm Service Agency through Oct. 15, 2021. The Agency administers the Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers program (PATHH) in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 authorized the assistance for the timber industry. Timber harvesting and hauling businesses that have experienced a gross revenue loss of at least 10% from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1, 2020, compared to Jan. 1 through Dec. 1, 2019, are encouraged to apply.

“USDA’s Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative promised to get financial assistance to a broader set of producers, and today’s announcement delivers on that promise,” said Secretary Vilsack. “On top of the existing challenges associated with natural disasters and trade, the pandemic caused a major disruption for loggers and timber haulers, including lack of access to wood processing mills. This industry plays a critical role in our nation’s economy, and we are proud to support these hard-working loggers and truckers as they get back on track.”

“Like many facets of the agriculture industry, the logging industry has experienced its share of financial hardships throughout the pandemic,” said FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux. “We’re happy to work with the U.S. Forest Service to develop this new program to provide critically needed support.”

“We’ve heard from loggers and truckers whose livelihoods were significantly impact-

ed this past year by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are pleased that USDA can help alleviate some of the financial burden,” said Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen.

“I encourage those logging and log-hauling businesses hardest hit by the pandemic to learn more about the assistance offered through this new program.”

To be eligible for payments, individuals or legal entities must be a timber harvesting or timber hauling business where 50% or more of its gross revenue is derived from one or more of the following: cutting timber, transporting timber, processing of wood onsite on the forest land (chipping, grinding, converting to biochar, cutting to smaller lengths). Payments will be based on an applicant’s gross revenue received from Jan. 1 through Dec. 1, 2019, minus gross revenue received from Jan. 1 through Dec. 1, 2020, then multiplied by 80%. The Agency will issue an initial payment equal to the lesser of the calculated payment amount or $2,000 as applications are approved. Then, a second payment will be made after the sign-up period has ended based upon remaining PATHH funds. But the maximum amount that a person or legal entity may receive directly is $125,000.

Loggers and truckers can apply for the Harvesters and Haulers program by completing form FSA-1118, the Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers Program application, and certifying their gross revenue for 2019 and 2020. Additional documentation may be required. Visit farmers.gov/ pathh for more information on how to apply.

Applications can be submitted to the Agency office at any USDA Service Center nationwide by mail, fax, hand delivery, or electronic means.

Harrison Central hosts football scrimmage

Harrison News-Herald Photo/ED BANKS On Monday, four football squads were in Cadiz to take part in a seven-man offensive scrimmage. The teams represented during the scrimmage included Barnesville, Beallsville, Brooke, and host Harrison Central. The offensive scrimmage is designed in a way to allow the team’s offensive units and pass defenders to exercise their game while featuring quarterbacks, receivers, defensive backs, and linebackers. Pictured are Harrison Central’s defensive backs and linebackers as they defend against Barnesville.

In the background are Brooke and Beallsville in the same mode, with Brooke on offense.

FARMHOUSE REMNANTS FROM PG.-1

That’s the MO for Farmhouse Remnants: seeing the potential in the old and giving it new life.

“Some pieces we’re not going to repurpose, we’ll bring it back to life. But we might not repurpose it totally, just clean them up because they’re beautiful pieces,” Holly emphasized. Holly and Brian both talked about the history of their passion project-turned-livelihood, and it’s been not only a labor of love but also one that paid the bills. “It was a way of life for us,” explained Holly.

The Cumberworths frequented various flea markets, shows, and exhibits, picking up new items with a bit of flair or selling the latest projects that had been finished. And they gained a lot of momentum in their days with their repurposed and upcycled pieces. Notably, they were stocked in department stores, like Macy’s and Harry & David, showcased on the Los Angeles Times’ front page, and became a favorite in Myrtle Beach. “We lived comfortably, [but] there were times when we left home with a few bucks with the promise of making a lot of bucks,” Brian stated. There were some gambles along the way, and both Brian and Holly agreed. “Hey, this [building] is a gamble,” Brian added. While both recognized they were rolling the dice on their newest venture, they were assured.

The setting is different, but the mission is the same for Brian and Holly Cumberworth. They’ll fix up the old post office and laundry mat into Farmhouse Remnants, taking the old and making it new. Then they’ll take the remnants from the farmhouse, spruce them up, and give them new life, too.

Harrison News-Herald Photo/JD LONG The storefront of Farmhouse Remnants is ready. It’s a perfect showcase of what the Cumberworths can create. While the inside is still in progress, the display is a microcosm of what the store will eventually become.

ELECTRIC SHOVEL FROM PG.-1

Greg Honish of CCU Coal & Construction spelled out a bit of the shovel’s history and the company’s future, and it could be difficult to imagine that just 10 years ago, coal was in somewhat of a renaissance. It wasn’t until about 2013 that environmental red tape started affecting the operations. The coal company is shifting gears, but the mission is remaining relatively the same. “We’re essentially a dirt-moving company,” Honish admitted. And the coal industry isn’t the only realm where dirt needs moved. Honish added that there have already been measures to start doing work in construction, reclamation, and aggregate mining. Honish mentioned that road-building, too, could become a topic of discussion later on down the road (ha), but it wasn’t a serious or feasible option for the company currently.

The transition from coal isn’t cut-and-run, though, so there will still be some being done, but the flexibility is almost necessary since coal’s decline. Honish also added that one of the company’s upcoming projects was kind of ironic. The company landed the decommissioning of the AEP plant. AEP used to be CCU’s primary client; now they’re tearing it down.

As it stands, the company is changing its operations based on the world around it. But the electric shovel will be dismantled bit by bit by an outsourced company so that its steel can be appropriated for other projects.

While its destruction might be somewhat bittersweet, the electric shovel contributed to part of the coal industry’s finer moments.

Joint Vocational School Board approves new deal with teachers BLOOMINGDALE — A deal has been reached between the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School Board and the JVS Teachers’ Association, which will carry them through another three years. During Tuesday’s regular session, the board approved entering into a master agreement with the Teachers’ Association, effective Aug. 1 and running through July 31, 2024. It reflects a 2% increase each year for the duration of the pact, and officials further stipulated that the tentative agreement will be incorporated into the master plan between the two parties. Superintendent Dr. Todd Phillipson said negotiations went well, and he was pleased to see both sides come to an accord. “It was a productive agreement that should serve the school well for the next three years,” he added. “It was great to come to an agreement that benefits both parties and the students.” JVS-

TA President Tammy Sismondo, who also serves as a health technologies instructor, was pleased to see an amenable conclusion. “I think it was a fair agreement, and both parties are happy,” she said. “I think everything went well.” On a related note, officials approved salary increases starting Aug. 1, 2021, and lasting through July 31, 2024, for noncertified and administrative staff consistent with the teachers’ salary agreement changes. The board also bid goodbye to member Randy Henry, who resigned after nearly four years of service and represented Toronto City Schools. Henry’s resignation was effective July 8, and Dr. Phillipson said he was an asset to the JVS and board of education.

“He has been a great board member and was always thorough in his approach, plus he came with a wealth of knowledge for the safety of the school.”

The shovel has a 34-yard bucket. To put that in perspective, one bucketful could remove 57 tons of overburden.

Newcomerstown church packs over 1000 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child NEWCOMERSTOWN — The Samaritan’s Purse project Operation Christmas Child collects shoeboxes — filled with fun toys, school supplies, and hygiene items — and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.

Since 2013, Coshocton, Carroll, Harrison, Holmes, and Tuscarawas Counties have collected over a quarter of a million shoeboxes.

Even with the challenges of COVID in 2020, First Baptist Church of Newcomerstown packed over 1,000 shoeboxes. And 2021 is their sixth year packing the boxes. They understand the eternal impact these gifts provide in communities, schools, and churches around the world. This small congregation of less than 100 is made up of approximately

95% retired senior citizens, and they are on a mission. Lead by project leader Nancy Huffman, this group meets once a month to pack shoeboxes. Many members make quality craft items for the boxes, like backpacks, hacky sacks, crocheted handbags, necklaces, dresses, stuffed dolls, and fabric race tracks, even including the cars and trucks.

Several shoppers in the group are always looking for bargains.

Huffman says that some of the best bargains come from Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Coshocton Walmart. Each week, one shoebox item is printed and placed in the church bulletin as a reminder of what is currently needed, and a donation box in the church provides a place for members to drop off their items. In addition, three times a year, an envelope is placed in the bulletin for members to contribute toward shoebox shipping.

Apex site under new ownership

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ — The safety supervisor for the former Apex waste site, Craig Petrella, paid a visit to the Harrison County Commissioners Wednesday to formally address a change: new ownership took over in March 2020. Petrella said the new company, Interstate Waste Services, is now running a completely different operation, but he also requested a little help. “[They] have put in a significant investment in property,” Petrella said. He added that after fielding “significant” complaints from customers and vendors regarding vehicle problems on Harrison 51 and the stretch between Ohio 646 and Jefferson County 78, they all were looking for some recourse. Petrella even mentioned the company’s own trailers suffered some suspension problems.

Photo provided by Christy Bloom Members of the First Baptist Church of Newcomerstown gather to pack shoeboxes on a regular basis throughout the year.

“We are looking for either the county to maintain it or have them give us permission to maintain it,” he explained. Commissioner Dale Norris said the first task would be for Petrella to speak with the county engineer (Doug Bachman) to see if the problem could be resolved.

“Because the relationship between the county and your company wasn’t very good,” Norris said. Petrella corrected him with “former company.” Norris repeated Petrella’s “former company,” then continued with two other companies before Apex since it has been an ongoing and long-term problem. He added that once Petrella spoke with Bachman and understood what would be required of Interstate Waste Services, the issue could be brought back for commissioners’ approval.

“It’s significantly different. I’ll leave it at that,” Petrella said of the new owners compared to when Apex owned the business and understood Norris’s remarks on past problems.

“This company...has put significant investment in there, significant improvements into the facilities, and it’s a completely different management,” Petrella explained. He called

the new company a “whole new way of doing business.”

Sheriff Joe Myers asked if there was access to the site through Jefferson County and was told no. When Myers asked why not (considering it was located in that county), Petrella said it was a “road restriction,” including a load limit on their roads. He also agreed when Norris said the Waste Services trucks using Harrison County roads should be using state roads.

“So, the county has had to deal with those issues numerous times and numerous years, so I don’t know how you try to correct that with your drivers or whatever,” Norris said. Petrella said Waste Services has sent memos to all its customers regarding approved state routes but not all adhere to the message. “And we still get some trucking outfits that do whatever they want to do,” Petrella told the board. He said there was no township road to use since it’s been abandoned for approximately three years. And he again reminded the board that Waste Services was a “completely different operation” and have invested “millions of dollars.”

Commissioners move forward on Harrisville project

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

Harrison News-Herald Photo/JD LONG A fire broke out late Tuesday afternoon at 327 Lincoln Avenue, but to what extent was the question. Smoke poured out of a side dormer and the backside of the house, but no flames were seen. Speculation was that an electrical problem might have been the cause, but it’s too early to tell. A new metal roof had been put on the house just one week ago, but no outside damage was visible. Hopedale and Cadiz rescue units responded.

CADIZ — The Harrison County Commissioners approved a resolution (36-21) Wednesday for a letter of recommendation presented by Bob Allen of E.L. Robinson Engineering in dealing with Harrisville’s wastewater treatment plant improvements.

“We have certified the bids, checked references, and recommend that the Board of Commissioners of Harrison County, Ohio (Commissioners) accept the bids as follows regarding the above-referenced project,” which was signed by E.L. Robinson’s Brandon Conley and read by Commissioner Dale Norris.

Border Patrol LLC was formally awarded the bid for $320,000, which Allen said came in under the engineer’s estimate. “We have worked with this company before and find them to be a good contractor. In addition, we called several references supplied by them, and all the responses were positive. Additionally, Ohio Mid-Eastern Governments Association (OMEGA) researched the contractor to determine that they are not listed as an Excluded Party or listed for Findings for Recovery per the

Ohio State Auditor,” per the resolution.

Also provided were the tabulations for the next highest bid, which came from Stanley Miller Construction Company at $402,682. S.E.T. Inc was the third bidder, but Allen said it was a nonresponsive bid.

Allen explained nonresponsive as “either they turned one (bid) in or there was an issue with the contract document.” He also raised the issue of where progress meetings could be held; whether they’ll be at the commissioner’s office or in Harrisville will be determined later. He said they would be conducted once per month, and a kickoff meeting would be held Aug. 25 at 1 p.m.

The project includes installing one bar screen, one ultraviolet disinfection system, and “all other necessary appurtenances.”

The board also approved three contracts, beginning with the paving projects for Harrison 17 and 43 (contract 12-21).

Contract 13-21 dealt with the approval of a bridge replacement on Harrison 13 by the U.S. Bridge of Cambridge. Harrison County engineer Doug Bachman said it was the bridge headed to Adena. A third contract (14-21) also dealt with a bridge replacement

by U.S. Bridge for Township Road 265.

Job and Family Services updating Prevention, Retention, and Contingency plans HARRISON COUNTY — Every two years, the county departments of Job and Family Services update their Prevention, Retention, and Contingency (PRC) plans. The plan is intended to meet the local needs of families to overcome immediate barriers and help them become and stay self-supporting. Prevention services are designed to divert families from ongoing cash assistance by providing shortterm nonassistance.

Current preventive services in the Harrison County plan include the back-to-school clothing program, employment retention services, and vehicle expenses. For the back-to-school clothing program, eligible families can receive clothing vouchers to purchase new school clothes for their children each year.

Retention services are provided to assist an employed member of the family in maintaining that employment.

Those services include employment retention and vehicle expenses. For the employment retention services, individuals must be employed to receive them. The benefits also include help with obtaining a driver’s license and employment-related fees such as uniforms, tools, safety equip-

ment, and fingerprinting costs. As for the vehicle expense services, they are only available for employed individuals and include tire replacement and vehicle repairs.

Contingency services are provided to meet an emergent need that, if not met, threatens the safety, health, or well-being of one or more family members. Services include rent or deposit for forestalling court-ordered evictions in rentals, bills to forestall utility shutoffs (gas, electric, and water), fuel oil and propane purchases, and emergency shelter (due to a fire, natural disaster, states of emergency, or domestic violence situations).

Transportation services include gas vouchers for new employment (until receipt of the first paycheck). Kinship services include stabilization that can be provided to a new kinship caregiver within six months of a child moving into their home (grandparents, for example). This service would include items such as furniture and other items needed to care for the children. Once a child (or children) has been with a kinship provider for more than six months, there is an available reimbursement of child care costs up to four months a year.

Dept. of Development makes grant application easier for small businesses

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ — The Ohio Department of Development is once again providing an opportunity for the state’s small businesses, helping them apply for a $10,000 grant, but only for ones established between Jan. 1, 2020 and Dec. 31, 2020. These grants, though, are only earmarked for “for-profit” businesses.

Harrison County auditor Allison Anderson appeared before the commissioners at Wednesday morning’s meeting to announce this year’s program. She said $150,000 had been allocated for Harrison County, with grants divided into four sectors (entertainment, lodging, food and beverage, and new small businesses). “So, there’s four different grants available. They just started in July [and it’s] first come, first serve, but there’s money right now allocated strictly for Harrison County,” Anderson explained. “If it’s not used soon, then they will start to distribute that amongst the rest of the state.”

One important item she included was that a problem in the past for some small businesses was having a federal tax identification number, but that has changed for this year.

Now, they will allow for small businesses to also use their social security number as an

alternative. Anderson also said there is no expiration date listed on the applications except for the note stating it is first come, first serve.

So when the money has been used, then the program for this year is finished. Ineligible businesses include ones who have previously received a small business relief grant or are a nonprofit entity, publicly traded company, or operated by a government agency. Also, businesses operating as a club (those engaged in “political or lobbying activities”), political issue advocacy, or sexually oriented businesses are some other ineligible listings. For more information and to apply, go to BusinessHelp.Ohio.Gov. Some eligible uses of these funds could be for COVID-19 protection, mortgage, rent payments (as long as they are not personal residences), utility payments, salaries and compensation, or supplies and equipment.

Three of the four grants will pay amounts of $10,000, $20,000, and $30,000, and as stated in the information packet handed out

by Anderson, “The amount of individual grants to eligible businesses will be determined by the business’ decline in occupancy rate in 2020.” The verbiage this pertains to is similar in the food and beverage and entertainment grants, as well. The new small business grant pays only the $10,000 amount.

Cancer Crusaders hosting blood drive during annual 5K Calling all blood donors! The American Red Cross is experiencing a severe blood shortage. So, the Red Cross and Harrison County Cancer Crusaders will be sponsoring the Jerry Graham Memorial Blood Drive during the 5th Annual 5K Race/ Rally on Saturday, Aug. 7. This event will be held in Wallace Lodge at Sally Buffalo Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Red Cross is following FDA blood donation eligibility guidance for those who have received a COVID-19 vaccination. If you have received your vaccine, knowing the manufacturer’s name (Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson and Johnson) is important in determining your eligibility. To learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine and blood donation, refer to the Red Cross website.

When you donate, you help provide lifesaving care to patients in need. You also receive the added benefit of a free mini-health assessment provided by a trained Red Cross staff member. Blood pressure, hemoglobin,

and pulses will be checked before the donations. The Red Cross records these vitals in your online donor profile, where you can track and check your results. Your online profile is a great resource for tracking your health goals and sharing them with your care providers. After each blood donation, your unit will be sent to a Red Cross lab to undergo various testing, including sickle cell trait testing, blood type/Rh testing, and infectious disease testing.

To schedule your appointment for the Blood Drive on Aug. 7 and more information on blood donations, go to the Red Cross website or call 1-800-733-2767; appointments are preferred.

“It’s not the same with the others gone,” Dave said. It’s something all families go through, but in families like the Fitzgeralds, new ones are born and keep the flame alive.

For years, though, it wasn’t a camping thing, then one year, they sat around a fire while on one of those camping reunions and thought: Why not this every year? And they come from all over: Alabama, Minnesota, Delaware, Iowa, and the many from in and around Ohio. Another neat thing is Dana’s yearly newsletter she produces with information on the reunions just completed, pictures of babies, family groups, and other tidbits on the upcoming event.

So, if you happen to be traveling through the Tappan campgrounds on the fourth Sunday in July and see the famous sign that was made by Dave’s brother some 35 years ago, maybe stop by and say hello to a friendly bunch with no plans of stopping.

Ohio defeated 6-17 following 75th OVAC All-Star Football Game

Two rape cases arraigned

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

TAPPAN LAKE — Some families have it, and some don’t, but the Fitzgeralds definitely have it. And it’s the cohesion we’re talking about. This past week the Irish family celebrated their 90th family reunion. Upward of 100 members commonly showed up, scattered throughout the campground at Tappan Lake Park, or just took off for the beach.

The family regularly rents out 15 lots plus five cabins where they enjoy a week of cards, games, orneriness, plenty of good food, and sometimes just lying about enjoying the sun and the time off — but definitely each other’s company.

Aaron Buckles, the family historian, said the long string of reunions might have begun even sooner, but 90 is what they know for sure.

It began with the Stephen family name, but it became a Fitzgerald affair when the last of the Stephens’ names passed on. And as the story goes, it all began with a gathering to celebrate

BY ED BANKS News-Herald Sportswriter WHEELING — To the dismay of Ohio fans, a two-game football winning streak ended on Saturday night inside the Wheeling Island Stadium. The event was the 75th Edition of the Rudy Mumley Ohio Valley Athletic Conference’s (OVAC) 2021 All-Star Game. The Mountaineers scored the game’s first touchdown when the defense rolled into pay dirt with an airmail takeaway. Add the touchdown to a 40-yard field goal in the first quarter, the Buckeyes found themselves on the wrong side of a 6-10 score.

The Buckeyes would soon cut into that lead off a West Virginia miscue that had them sitting at the 40-yard line via an intercep-

tion. Grinding their way to the 4, Ohio was soon in the endzone with just over eight minutes left in the first half. With both defenses remaining stochastic, the contest would end at the half with a score of 10 to 6.

Returning from the break, the Mountaineers would immediately gather in their second interception of the game and turn it into a pick-six from 20 yards out. The pick-six was big in helping to offset the team’s three-yard ground game of the second half.

Ohio was scoreless in the second half, and the game ended 17 to 6. The Buckeyes’ game could be summed up mostly behind a Mountaineer-defensive showing and offense that passed and grounded out domination. As a game side note, it was good to see New Philadelphia represented in the contest. Their appearance on Saturday would be their inaugural as part of the OVAC.

ODOT prepping for major I-70 renovation

ZANESVILLE — Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director Jack Marchbanks officially kicked off an $88-million project this morning to reconstruct Interstate 70 through the city of Zanesville. In addition, the project will resurface I-70 from U.S. Route 40 to State Route 93 and impact 16 bridges, including the bridges over the Licking and Muskingum Rivers. “This work will not only benefit local residents and drivers, but also the high volume of trucks and commerce that use this key corridor,” said Marchbanks.

“The impact of this investment in central Ohio will be felt across the state in terms of the safe and easy movement for commuters and freight-haulers alike.”

Last reconstructed in the mid-1990s, the replacement of the 25-year-old pavement will be a welcome upgrade. Approximately

40,000 to 50,000 vehicles use this stretch of interstate each day, including more than 10,000 trucks or about a quarter of the average daily traffic, emphasizing the route’s regional and statewide importance. “We welcome the investment by the state of Ohio into our city, and we ask the public to be cautious and patient as Shelly & Sands rebuilds this aging infrastructure,” said Zanesville Mayor Donald Mason. “The city will work with our private and public sector partners as we endeavor to protect the motorists and workers from the beginning until the end of this epic project.”

Traffic will be maintained throughout construction, but these improvements won’t come without inconvenience. Narrower lanes, temporary traffic patterns, and a reduced speed limit when workers are present will require extra attention behind

the wheel. “When this project is completed, it will be a wonderful asset to the city, county, and the state of Ohio. However, there will be traffic disruptions during the construction process,” said Cole Graham, President of Shelly & Sands, Inc. “We ask that the traveling public remain alert and use caution in and around our work zone so that at the end of the day, everyone can get home safely.”

“It’s going to be a great project to watch come to fruition, and I look forward to the ribbon-cutting,” said Senator Tim Schaffer.

To minimize impacts to traffic and maintain access to and from downtown Zanesville by staggering bridge and ramp closures, the project is expected to be complete in Fall 2027.

Conotton Creek Trail surfaced with new pavement

BY DEE ANN HORSTMAN

Conotton Creek Trail committee members and others gathered around the Scio staging area to watch the monster paver surface the 10-feet-by-two-inch layer of asphalt on the trail, paved initially 20 years ago. The width is being enlarged from eight to 10 feet and lies between the two Scio railroad crossings. The area between the two crossings was the first and only paved area of the trail and was funded by donations from townspeople and organizations. Grants from the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources funded the complete initial paving. The current grant that funds the 12-mile trail is federal, which is being supervised and handled by ODOT.

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ — Several cases involving first-degree felonies were heard in the Harrison County Common Pleas courtroom Tuesday as a handful of arraignments led off the morning’s proceedings. 56-year-old Michael Carothers of Scio was charged with one count of rape, a first-degree felony. The crimes allegedly occurred over five years from “on or about” April 25, 2015 through April 2020. If convicted, Carothers is facing 11 years of prison time, along with a possible $25,000 fine and Tier 3 sex offender handle for life. Two other charges involved sexual battery and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, both third-degree felonies. The charge involved a minor at least 13 years of age but less than 16, and those charges carry a maximum of three years each in prison upon conviction.

Public defender C. Adrian Pincola sat in as a courtesy to the court as Carothers hadn’t been officially assigned an attorney at the time. Carothers interrupted Judge T. Shawn Hervey stating he disagreed with the charge; then several times later, he insisted that he’d never been in trouble before the charges. Hervey noted Carothers’ bond to be $75,000 from the county court, and prosecutor Lauren Knight suggested it remain as such, to which Hervey agreed.

Carothers will also be subjected to a 10 p.m. through 6 a.m. curfew if he makes bail. Pincola reminded the court that he could take no action on behalf of Carothers until he formally requests an attorney.

Carothers had been incarcerated “for some time,” so there would be some time issues involved with the case, Pincola noted.

Also, a more frightening case followed later with Donald J. Rollic of Freeport facing not only a felony-one rape charge but kidnapping, which carries a first-degree felony. A third charge involved abduction (F3) plus grand theft (F4) and domestic violence, a misdemeanor of the first degree for a total of five charges. Rollic is also facing a Tier 3 classification where he would have to register as a sex offender for life if convicted. Judge Hervey informed the defendant he was facing a total of 26.5 years in prison if all five charges found a conviction and were to run consecutively.

Prosecutor Knight asked for a $100,000 bond with the 10% cash option, to which Hervey eventually granted. She called the charges “severe and substantial in nature” and noted Rollic had also shown two previous warrants for failure to appear in two different counties. She also called his criminal history substantial, which included felonies and “numerous misdemeanor charges.”

A third case involved Pete Beamer of Cadiz, also represented by Pincola. He was charged with intimidation of a public servant and domestic violence, according to Judge Hervey. The intimidation charge is a felony of the third degree and carries a possible three-year prison term upon conviction. Prosecutor Knight stated there had been no offer yet but that her office did comply with a discovery request. Judge Hervey told the defendant that the intimidation charge was separate from the domestic charge he was facing and stood alone. “I think that’s important for you to understand,” he told Beamer.

OBITUARIES Family meant everything to Dwight, and he will be sadly missed by his wife Christina “Bean” Busby; daughters Tammy (Danny) Dray of Jewett and Lori (Russ) Kuntz of Toronto; grandchildren Bill (Jessica) Dray of Wintersville, Courtney Dray of Jewett, and Allyson Kuntz of Toronto; a great-granddaughter Lily Dray; brothers Richard (Nancy) Busby and Ron (Marianne) Busby and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by a brother and sister-in-law, Gary and Doris Busby.

Services will be held Tuesday, July 27, 2021, at 11 a.m. in Koch Funeral Home, Scio, with Pastor Mark Statler officiating. Private burial will follow in Holly Memorial Gardens, Colerain. Friends may call Monday, July 26, from 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 p.m. at the funeral home. Memorial contributions may be made to Valley Hospice, 10686 ST RT 150, Rayland, Ohio 43943.

Dwight Busby Dwight Busby, age 77, of Jewett, died Thursday, July 22, 2021, in Trinity Medical Center West in Steubenville after a brief illness surrounded by his loving family. Born Jan. 7, 1944, in Cadiz Junction, Ohio, he was a son of the late Nellie Joy Kuhn Busby. He graduated from Jewett High School in 1962 and met the former Christina L. Boyd, whom he married in 1965. They both loved to dance, their favorite being the “Jitterbug” and would spend most weekends dancing.

A hard worker all of his life, Dwight started working with his mom at the former H&M Market in Scio until he was hired at Y&O Coal.

During this time, he also worked part time as the Chief of Police in the Village of Jewett. After working for Y&O Coal for 25 years, they closed, and then he worked for Red Oaks Country Club.

He tried to retire, but it never suited him, so he went to work at Lowe’s until 2009 when he became the Mayor of Jewett, a post he was elected to after serving three years on Jewett Village Council. Dwight enjoyed serving the community of Jewett. He spent over 40 years coaching Little League Baseball, Hot Stove League, or Girls Softball, some years spent coaching his daughters, and then grandchildren, in the dugout or from behind the fence. He was also a member of the former Jewett Jaycee’s. But what he and his family have put their heart and soul into since 2011 is the Jewett Wildcat Community Center, where he was currently serving as President.

John O’Neil John Lee O’Neil, 79 years old and formerly of Cadiz, passed away June 4, 2021, in Burbank, California, where he resided. John was preceded in death by his parents, John and Pauline O’Neil, and brothers Jerry and James O’Neil. John is survived by his wife Jolene, sister Susan Greene, special aunt Janice Walker, sister-in-law Anna O’Neil, niece Stacy O’Neil Shiplett, nephews John W. O’Neil, Travis Lawrence, and Billy Greene, and many family and friends. Graveside services will be held at the Cadiz Union Cemetery on Saturday, Aug. 7 at 2 p.m. Pastor Craig Haney will be officiating.

affected for 2022. But Slogar again emphasized that they could not make the contractor throw any more resources at the job than they’re doing now and could only encourage them to push forward.

“Generally speaking, I do believe the contractor has been receptive and has worked with us in that regard,” Slogar said. Still, he acknowledged that the contractor could have put forth more resources a few months ago to accelerate the job and chose not to do that.

Jim Crandall, the new chief financial officer following Jim Cugliari’s retirement, provided an estimate on the possible financial losses. He said the restaurant and retail sales are both being affected, with the full restaurant budget being $30,000 for the year. As a worst-case scenario, even if they open, the loss would be at a 75% clip. On the retail side, their budget was $43,900 and would also absorb a loss of 75%.

Crandall said the overall loss would amount to $73,900 if the new marina building does not open this year. However, he added that those numbers are just estimates thrown together for the board to understand what they might be looking at.”It may not be catastrophic, but it’s still substantial,” Limbach explained. Chief of Recreation Ryan McCleaster said the Dennison Yard owners (Matt Donohoe and Shari Lewis) “have been fantastic to work with.”

“They’re still optimistic and very upbeat,” he told the board. “But we’re doing what we can to get it done. I feel like the opportunity to have at least some options, like take-out, is very viable for us.” McCleaster said he hoped the new vendors could use the last few months of the season as a test run to break in the equipment for a grand opening next spring.

Marjorie “Louise” Mills Harkins passed away peacefully on July 27 at Heartland Nursing Home in Twinsburg, Ohio, surrounded by her loving children and family. She was the daughter of Walter and Mae Mills. Louise was preceded in death by the love of her life, Howard, daughter Dorinda Moore, grandson Shane Harkins, sister Luella Howell, and brothers Richard and Edgar Mills.

Louise enjoyed gardening, both vegetables and flowers. Of course, with the wonderful vegetable gardens came beautiful canning. Her canning shelves were as colorful as any rainbow, and the house was always fragrant with the scents of roses, tulips, hydrangeas, or whatever flowers or wildflowers may be blooming. Louise also loved making quilts which she started making at a very young age and continued until her vision became an issue. Her quilts easily number in the hundreds, all sewn by hand and enjoyed by her family and friends. She was a member of Bethel United Methodist Church as a child, where she attended and taught Sunday School for kids and adults, Vacation Bible School, sang in the choir, helped with custodial needs, and operated a food pantry with her dear friend Cheryl Staltzer for many years.

Louise had such a love of family and friends, and one could not help to feel that love the moment you walked through their doors. Mom could put a meal on the table faster than anyone, and for sure, you would not go away hungry. She was quite the baker, and it was fun to guess what she was cooking the moment you walked into the door. There were so many favorites, and it was pure joy for her to make us smile, knowing she was thinking of us while she was baking. Holidays and birthdays meant at least two huge tables were going to be full of family and food and last all day long. All of these memories will look different from this point on, but we are ever so grateful that we have had them for all these years.

Louise leaves behind two sons, Nolan (Amy) Harkins of Canal Fulton, Ohio and Nathan (Barb) of Tucson, Arizona, and three daughters, Helen (Ron) Bollo of Columbus, Kathleen (Danny) Schuman of Stow, Ohio, and Millie (Leonard) Cox of Hopedale. She also leaves behind 18 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren.

Clark-Kirkland in Cadiz will be handling Louise’s arrangements. Calling hours are on Friday, July 30, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the funeral home.

Funeral services will be held at Bethel United Methodist Church at 11 a.m., with Lay Minister Dorman Mader officiating.

Louise surely heard, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Belmont College unveiling HVAC-R program warranty with open house SAINT CLAIRSVILLE — Belmont College will be holding a Heating Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC-R) Program open house on Tuesday, Aug. 3 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Mechanical Technical Center (MTC) located at 68633 Bannock Road, Saint Clairsville, Ohio, near the College’s Main Campus. The MTC is the new home to Belmont’s HVAC-R program.

And the center has specialized classroom spaces for instruction in geothermal, smart technologies, and traditional HVAC technologies; a two-year associate degree or a one-year certification option is available in the program.

In addition, students can choose specific tracks such

as residential, commercial, refrigeration, or building automation. Furthermore, Belmont’s HVAC-R program has 100% job placement to date, and internship opportunities are available. HVAC-R graduates, who begin enrolling in Fall 2021, will have the option to receive a “warranty” with their degree, which means their education has prepared them with the knowledge base, competencies, and skills necessary for employment in the HVAC-R field.

For example, suppose within 12 months of graduating from the program, a student has a deficiency in one area, they can be further instructed in that specific competency at no cost.

Look at the Past — 1903 Cadiz Circus

“The circus came every spring, but I remember only two carnivals. Streets were roped off, tents set up in the middle of the streets, and for a week, carnival reigned. Lunette, The Flying Lady, was in a tent on the square. She was a beautiful creature enveloped in white gauze with two big wings suspended from her shoulders. Back and forth she flew over the heads of us all, gracefully suspended, an angelic vision.” From Isabel Ronsheim’s (1893-1983) memories of growing up in Cadiz, written in her 80s and shared by her granddaughter Pam Ronsheim Gibson.

Harrison County ranks 4th in property tax value

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

COLUMBUS — If you like numbers and random studies, then you might like this one as Harrison County now ranks fourth in overall property tax value, at least according to smartasset.com. The study also says that homeowners in Ohio are paying higher tax rates than the national average or 13th-highest in the United States.

“However, tax rates vary significantly between Ohio counties and cities. The highest rates are in Cuyahoga County, where the average effective rate is 2.44%. The county with the lowest rate is Lawrence County, which has an average effective rate of 0.87%,” according to the article.

For Harrison County, the property tax rate

is listed as 0.97% with a school rating of 3.00, tied for the lowest among the top 10 counties listed. In comparison, Putnam has a school rating of 10.00 and Hancock at 9.00. For home value growth, Harrison County shows a 39.12% rating, third among the top ten, according to SmartAsset.

“We’ve definitely seen a jump in home value,” Harrison County auditor Allison Anderson said, but she declined to comment further on the other facets of the study. She did say there had been “large growth” in transfers of deeds, though.

“First, the study measures the effective property tax paid in each county to determine the relative property tax burden,” according to SmartAsset. “From there, the study analyzes the quality of public schools within each county. Finally, it measures how much value properties in the county have gained

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy I was surprised to learn that back in the spring that the Crossroads Farm youth religious organization had a “Helping Hand” learning-stay in Harrison County. I know of Luke Marshall’s pastor/dad who played a big part in getting a telephone directory together in Jefferson County and have Luke Marshall and his wife, Raegan’s photo in a magnet on our refrigerator. Crossroads Farm is praying for a ministry director, as the one discovered to start a group back in May felt prayer had led him in another direction than in Harrison County.

I love reading the “Good News” column

by Pastor Ken Staley of the Pleasant Grove and Harrisville United Methodist Church in the News Herald. He mentioned that we at times feel “unworthy” and at this time should consider the people Jesus chose to be his disciples. There was a tax collector and traitor, a blue-collar fisherman who denied Jesus, a teenager and Judas, the thief who betrayed Him. God looked at their hearts when He chose them.

I have a dear friend whom I met over 15 years ago through a newspaper story that I did about having polio. Ileen is having a birthday this month and I want to send her the best of all birthday wishes. She is one courageous lady Ileen has a relative/friend (sometimes you can have one without the other), Gloria Mercer, who visits her often. Gloria has a granddaughter who graduated from Harrison Central High School this year and will be attending Kent State. The son, T.J., attends Ohio University. It is hard having two in college at the same time.

Our son, Jay, had two in college at once and we tried to help with expenses,

CORRESPONDENCE

Ileen shared with me that she is hoping for an outstanding team this year for Ohio State.

She is going to be cheering heartily for their success. I hope they know of this. A winning year would be a Christmas and 2022 birthday gift all in one for her. Go Brutus Buckeye.

While I am at it, I might as well say a belated birthday to my sister, Dorothy Toth, who had a bad year with cancer this year. She is said to be cancer free now so that is a birthday present in itself. Their granddaughter, Lucy, is having an Aug. 2 birthday to be 5 years old. The cutoff date is Aug. 1 to start first grade and rules cannot be broken.

Message boards on Route 646 will be in place by August 16 indicating the route for the Scio Fall Festival. Please use caution.
