Cadiz granted $3M for water upgrades

SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 2022

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter Last Thursday, Harrison County community leaders got together for the Utility Projects Funding Appreciation Ceremony.

The village of Cadiz has, for years, been consistently working on updating the water and sewer systems. And now, the village is receiving funds to continue the projects. Two million dollars worth of federal appropriations has been granted through Congressman Bill Johnson's office. In addition, the village will also receive $1 million from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and $250,000 in Appalachian Regional Commission grant money, by way of the Governor's Office Appalachia. The project will cost $5.03 million, and the village is working with USDA-RD officials to cover the remainder.

Village administrator Brandon Ludwig opened the ceremony by introducing everyone.

First to speak was Mayor John Migliore. He thanked "all the partners in making this improvement possible" and provided some background on the project: "Back in April the 9th of 2021, the head of OMEGA, Jeannette Wierzbicki, contacted Bob Allen [of E.L. Robinson Engineering] and was able to let Bob be aware of a grant that had to be in by 5 p.m. that day. Now, I got a call at 2 p.m. that day. Bob asked me for permission to send it in, and I said, 'Absolutely!' So, it was through the community project funding program. I checked in throughout the year, and the bill would go up and down, up and down. Finally, I got a call in April of this year, and it had passed the House and [was] going to the Senate. One of the congressman's staff members called me and notified me of that. I said, 'Will you give me a call and let me know if it passes?' She said, 'No, I won't, but the congressman will!'"

Migliore admitted that the village has had to increase water and sewer rates and explained that there had been drawbacks: "It started to put pressure on our community. This is really a costly thing."

The mayor also thanked the numerous attending parties for their role in the grant procurements: Congressman Johnson, John Carey for the Governor's Office of Appalachia, Lieutenant Colonel Albert Butler from the Pittsburgh Office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kari Decker from the USDA-RD Marietta office, and Wierzbicki. "Without the support, we would not be able to make the utility improvements."

Carey, too, thanked Johnson — if not for the congressman, much of the funding wouldn't have become a reality. "We wouldn't have funds if you didn't appropriate them in Washington," directed toward the congressman. Butler also took the floor for a moment: "It takes a true team and group effort of individuals and leaders to come together, to meet the needs of our communities." He acknowledged the hard work of all involved and said he looks WATER See Pg.- 9

CADIZ — Harrison County Commissioners convened for their weekly meeting on Wednesday and heard from the Department of Job and Family Services regarding Contract 5-22. The contract between JFS and Harrison County Public Transit begins on May 1 and would set new driver payment rates. The contract primarily pertains to non-emergency drivers transporting people to doctor appointments.

The $290,000 contract's biggest change is the mileage rate dropping from $3.10 to $1.48 per mile. Deb Knight, the assistant director of JFS, told the commissioners that the change comes from fiscal monitors telling the agency they are not allowed to make a profit on Medicaid programs.

Commissioner Don Bethel asked Knight, "Do you see them being able to survive on $1.48?" Knight replied, "It's going to be tough with the gas prices going up, but that's why we put the clause in about reviewing every quarter." The contract stipulates a quarterly review, so the mileage rate could be increased later if needed.

Knight also provided commissioners with an annual report for children's services. Since April is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, Knight wanted to share some statistics.

She said that in 2021, there were 351 reports of child abuse and neglect. In addition, she noted children born with drugs in their system are counted as physical abuse. "Substance use continues to be a problem for us," Knight POWER See Pg.- 9

Huskies make playoffs

BY D.J. WATSON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer RICHMOND — A season series sweep of the Edison Wildcats this past week provided the Harrison Central baseball program with one of those "first-ever" moments. For the first time since the inception of the two-division format in the Buckeye 8 Athletic League (2013), the Huskies baseball program will be playing in the championship game. That game is a few weeks out, but the excitement that head coach Mike Valesko has for his players has already settled in.

"I'm really happy for our kids to get through the first part of the season against our divisional opponents, having done what we needed to do to put ourselves in a position to play for a league championship," Valesko commented following a 13-6 victory over the Wildcats this past Wednesday night in Jefferson County.

The Huskies (9-3) will likely see the projected South Division champs in the Cambridge Bobcats come May 6. As far as how they got there, Harrison and Edison played through brutal winter-like conditions Monday night at Mazeroski Field. The Huskies rode a last-inning, three-run double off the bat of none other than junior Treston Nemeth to rally past the Wildcats and walk off with an 8-7 triumph. The two victories over Edison clinched the division — and so much more.

The OVAC 4A Championship cutoff was this past Wednesday night, meaning that all games played through the 20th would count toward the regular-season standings. When the points system was finalized late Wednesday night, the Huskies found themselves as the two-seed going into the four-team bracket.

The semifinals will get underway this morning

WWII MINERS

(4/23), and their opponent for the 11 a.m.

4A semifinal is certainly a familiar foe. The Huskies will meet one of the school's main rivals, as the St. Clairsville Red Devils will visit Mazeroski Field. The Cambridge Bobcats and Indian Creek Redskins round out the other half of the bracket.

"This week was big; it also put us in position to play in the OVAC tournament. We have a lot of respect for our conference opponents in both the OVAC and the Buckeye 8. We are excited for the opportunity to play for a pair of championships," stated Valesko.

Saturday's OVAC semifinal appearance will mark the first showing for the Huskies in the event since 2017. The Red Devils and Huskies last met in the OVAC tournament in the 2015 title game, with St. Clairsville taking the crown. Harrison made the bracket in both 2016 and 2017 but lost to Edison and Steubenville, respectively. The 2013 season was the last time the Huskies captured the top spot in the championship event (over Steubenville), having qualified again in 2014 but falling short to a familiar name: Steubenville. All-time, Harrison has won four OVAC Championships ('00, '05, '06, and '13) and appeared in the bracket format (began in 2009) six times, including this season.

It shouldn't go without mentioning that the Huskies competing in 12 games this season is nothing short of a miracle — even if 90% of those games have been played in subpar weather conditions. The head coach credits a great deal of his team's early success to the notion of consistent time on the diamond.

"Our kids have done a great job of coming out of the gate strong this season. I believe the reliable facilities have played a major role in that," Valesko concluded.

Two hit in Cadiz square accident

BY SHAWN DIGITY twitter.com/DIGITYnodoubt CADIZ — On Wednesday afternoon, a traffic accident resulted in a woman and her juvenile daughter being hit by a pickup truck in Cadiz's town square. According to Lieutenant Ron Carter and the official police report, mother and Cadiz resident Phrachansiri Guillermina and her 11-old-daughter began traversing the intersection in the crosswalk spanning West Market Street and going toward North Main Street (away from the courthouse).

According to the report, 50-year-old Bridgeport resident David Beazel II had come to the threshold of the intersection and was looking to turn right on red (onto South Main Street). But despite being at low speeds and using a turn signal, Beazel looked left to check for oncoming traffic just as the mother and daughter entered the crosswalk. As a result, the driver didn't see, hear or realize the pedestrians had been hit until there was audible screaming.

After being pinned, Guillermina and her daughter were both transported by Hopedale Squads 105 and 115 to Trinity West Hospital in stable condition. The 11-year-old girl sustained most of the physical injuries, her left leg being the most injured with some others to the upper extremities. There was nothing lifethreatening to either individual, though.

Carter explained that West Market Street was shut down for about half an hour as he conducted the investigation, gathered measurements, and took photographs of the scene. Patrolman Smuck and Patrolman Groves handled the crash. Cadiz Police, the Hopedale squads, Cadiz Fire, and the Sheriff's Office all reported to the accident. Beazel was cited for failure to yield to pedestrians.

COVID subvariant less threatening

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

While the COVID rates in Harrison County remain low, the state of Ohio saw a 55% increase in new cases during the twoweek period between March 31 and April 14: The numbers rose from 3,100 for the week ending on March 31 to 4,800 for the week ending on April 14, according to county health administrator Garen Rhome. Hospitalizations remain around 300 per week statewide with ICU admissions between 20–30 per week.

During the two-week time frame, deaths decreased from 250 per week to 100 per week for the state.

Even as the new BA.2 omicron subvariant takes over as the primary COVID variant, so far, Rhome said, there are no indications that it is any more severe than the original omicron VARIANT See Pg.- 7

Chamber brings heavy-hitters to forum

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

On April 14, the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce hosted its first-ever Legislative Forum Luncheon. The forum included a dinner, a raffle to raise funds, and some high-profile guest speakers.

After the meal, Milo Baker (executive director of the Chamber of Commerce) introduced the speakers: Congressman Bill Johnson, Senator Frank Hoagland, County Commissioner Paul Coffland, and State Representative Don Jones' legislative aide AJ Thomas.

Johnson took the floor first and did so by showing support for State Rep. Jones. "You got a winner in Don Jones." He then commented on the district lines calling them "a mess;" the Supreme Court rejected the state legislative lines, and Johnson didn't know what it would mean for the primaries. It's "out of control," he added. There is a lot of confusion around the new redistricting maps, and litigation is ongoing. "Irresponsible judicial wrangling," as Johnson called it, is less than ideal and admitted that "the people — you — deserve better..."

Johnson will still represent Harrison County but explained he would also be representing

new constituents. He will lose eight of his 18 current counties, but the remapping will move more north and west, gaining about 375,000 people.

But Johnson clarified that the new maps don't matter to him. "I'm never going to compromise my principles. I'm still going to function the same way I do today. It doesn't matter what your party affiliation is or where you're from. If you're in my district, if you got an issue that I can be helpful with, you can come to my office, and we will do everything we can to help you."

The congressman continued his presentation by bringing attention to crises the nation is confronting. "There is a crisis around every corner:" Crime, inflation, energy, border, and security.

Johnson closed his speech with comments on Washington. The government is "of, for, and by the people."

"Don't be afraid to throw your name in the hat to run for elected office someday," he concluded.

Then, Senator Hoagland followed, covering many of the same topics: maps and energy issues. But he also talked about education. "I don't have a college education; I just have life experiences. I truly believe no matter where you come from, we've got to teach these kids

Jewett Police updates council on Castro case

BY KRISTI TULLIS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer The village of Jewett convened for a council meeting on Wednesday, April 20, and first up for discussion was an update by Lieutenant Ron Carter of the Jewett Police Department regarding the Benjamin Castro case. Carter stated that Facebook, Twitter, and a few dating applications want warrants for information that will be provided. In addition, the owner of the car used during the incident involving Castro on March 30 had given consent for a search. During the investigation, a cell phone was retrieved by authorities. Everything will be handed over to the FBI, however, and with that, Carter was expecting more victims. Carter also updated the council with one burglary and one theft that have been solved; there now remains just one theft incident with known suspects.

Additionally, spray paint damage was done to the old school building, and a domestic dispute on High Street led to one female being transported by ambulance.

Moving on, the council wants to remind residents that in celebration of Earth Day, a community cleanup day will be held on Saturday, April 23. Local Cub Scouts will be volunteering at the community park, and

dumpsters will be available as early as Friday afternoon for residents needing to dispose of things. From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., council members and the mayor will host a hot dog cookout for all who would like to participate.

Trash bags will also be available if anyone is in need. BrightSide Junction has donated all food items for the event.

The council then discussed the cost of cyber-insurance coverage for the village.

Councilman Paul Prevot explained that it would protect losses incurred if unforeseen damages occur. Council approved coverage for $1,021, understanding that the village is only financially responsible for half of the cost. In other matters, the park's fuel tank has been painted and is ready for use. There were discussions about reserving up to 600 gallons of fuel in the event of a leak, but the issue will be an ongoing topic for resolution. In addition, the park building has been cleaned and will soon be available for rent, weed eating has been completed, and mulch has been ordered for the playground. And the stoplight at the three-way intersection will be up again soon.

To finish the meeting, there were no updates concerning FEMA, and the demolition program is still moving forward. Discussed for new business was the plan to update all long outdated village ordinances.

how to show up for work on time, in the right uniform with the right attitude."

The senator shared Senate Bill 291, a bill that he said the Department of Development called unconstitutional. He referred to it as a "disadvantaged business program." He explained it as allowing women and veteranowned businesses to access contracts previously only available to minority-owned businesses.

He concluded by asking the audience "to pray for our men and women sitting overseas, many of them who are just miles away from the border of Ukraine."

Thomas (Don Jones' aide) delivered a brief, succinct speech. Again, the redistricting maps were discussed as Thomas testified about the frustrations of the process. He touched on House Bill 583, which addresses a teacher shortage that he says will "make sure students are in school and in the classroom setting." He expanded, "Online learning — while it's good for some students — is not for everybody."

Thomas also gave insight into some of Jones' other concerns. These included bail reform, critical race theory, and ensuring that kids are not taught false history. "We're trying to make sure our kids aren't being indoctrinated."

Rounding out the speakers was Commissioner Coffland; he shared news on funding that will benefit the county. For starters, the Freeport sewer project, estimated at $9 million, has been almost fully funded through grants. Additionally, the commissioners are also looking at other projects: a new jail, courthouse security, additions to the engineer's office and County Home, 911 service upgrades, and demolition of cleanup properties.

As the forum came to its conclusion, Baker thanked those who attended and the keynote speakers. In talks with Baker after the event, he believed that the legislative forum went over very well; he and the Chamber of Commerce are looking forward to holding more events in the future.

Vandal ordered to pay nearly $50K in restitution

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter Already serving time, Bryon Street appeared in court on Tuesday via video conference in front of Judge T. Shawn Hervey. For charges in Belmont County, Street was given five years for aggravated trespassing and receiving stolen property.

In Harrison County, he was indicted on aggravated trespassing and vandalism charges.

Charges from both Belmont and Harrison counties stem from multiple incidents of break-ins and thefts at AEP sites, including a garage and substations. Street stole tools, equipment, and copper wire. The copper wire was reportedly marked with AEP and is what led to Street's arrest.

The state made an offer, and the defendant accepted: Street pleaded guilty and was given prison sentences for both charges. He received 24 months for aggravated trespassing and 12 months for vandalism. The sentences will be served concurrently — with one another and the 60 months already being served.

After his release, Street will be responsible

for paying restitution. The court has ordered a $47,487 payment to American Electric Power.

Hervey also heard an evidentiary trial to revoke community-based controls; Heather Sutton accepted to admit to the violations.

The state recommended — and Sutton received — 90 days of local incarceration and termination of probation.

Benjamin Castro, a convicted sex offender, appeared again but has yet to be served his indictment. As a result, he will have to wait another week before his trial can move forward.

Castro is facing charges of pandering obscenities to a minor, disseminating matter harmful to a minor, contributing to unruliness, and illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.

Jeraud Rupp was offered a resolution in his case. The state offered (in exchange for a guilty plea) 24 months at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections. Rupp refused the offer and is preparing to take the case to trial. He has been indicted on possession of a weapon under disability, a third-degree felony, which carries a 9– to 36–month prison sentence.

Bowerston gets $1M award

BY JACQUIE HUMPHREY Harrison News-Herald Correspondent

BOWERSTON — At Bowerston village council's April meeting, President Paula Beamer advised that the village will be receiving a $1 million reimbursable fund award from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Also, the council unanimously approved Resolutions 2022-03, 04, 05, and 06 as necessary for the village to move forward with additional funding opportunities.

Beamer further advised that the village is in the process of submitting an Appalachian Regional Commission preapplication for water distribution system improvements.

Village administrator Bart Busby explained that the total funds needed for the utility projects have increased from $9 million to $13 million, with the EPA's recommendation that the water plant be relocated — especially after the recent flooding.

Busby also added that he attended the Conotton Valley Board of Education's March meeting to inquire about buying a portion of the property where the former elementary school stood. He was advised that the Board will consider leasing a portion of the property to the village but is not interested in selling.

Bowerston council's next meeting will be

on Tuesday, May 17 at 6 p.m. (village council building).

Bowerston council odds and ends:

-Heard a report on the maintenance department from Busby.

-Heard a utility billing status report from Janeen Scott and learned that $914 in late fees had been collected after the March billing cycle.

-Learned from Scott that she is actively working on non-filed and delinquent income tax reports and is going back five years with penalties.

-Heard from Scott that multiple customers are not paying the $25 monthly sewer maintenance fee and that these expenses are being assessed to the property owner's taxes.

-Approved expenditure of $70 for the village to join the Harrison County Chamber of Commerce.

-Learned from fiscal officer Heidi Trice that lost revenues must be submitted for the ARPA funding by April 30 and that she is actively working on this project.

-Discussed building permit ordinance presented by solicitor Jenna Hokes and heard the first reading.

-Heard a status update from Hokes on her portion of the work for the utility upgrade

funding.

Officials for the village of Bowerston recently met with representatives from the Ohio Department of Development, OMEGA, and USDA, Rural Development to advance their ongoing efforts to secure funding for the village’s much-needed utility maintenance and upgrades.

The village began working with the engineering firm E.L. Robinson Engineering in fall 2020 and aggressively pursued the estimated $13 million needed for all upgrades.

Working closely with Bob Allen and Jack Ramsey of E.L. Robinson, the village has prioritized projects in different phases to be completed as funding is secured. “We’re doing everything that we can to secure funding for our projects to better serve the residents of Bowerston,” village administrator Bart Busby stated.

During the recent meeting, the group had the opportunity to see exactly what the village was dealing with. Recent flooding also brought the need to move one of the water facilities out of the flood plain at the community park.

Council president Paula Beamer, who has been the village’s lead for the project since its inception, said that she thought all of the participants “were very helpful and gave a lot of advice to assist the village in moving forward on these projects that are desperately needed.”

Second primary election likely

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

Disputes over the Ohio congressional district maps are ongoing; yet another proposed version of the map was thrown out, marking the fourth time since Ohio began redoing its congressional maps last year that a proposal has been rejected. The third proposed map was ruled unconstitutional on March 16 of this year.

The Boards of Election across the state have had their hands tied without an approved map to work with. So on April 20, a panel of three federal judges issued a memorandum regarding the primary, stating, "In the event that Ohio does not reach a resolution before May 28, we will order that the state-legislative primary races be held on the special-election date of August 2, 2022. The evidence before the court makes overwhelmingly clear that this is the least disruptive, costly, and confusing way for a federal court to preserve Ohioans' right to vote

in primary races required by state law."

According to the memorandum, May 28 is as late as they can wait without disrupting the Nov. 8 general election.

Additionally, the panel of judges decided that if the state fails to approve a lawful map

by May 28, the panel would order them to implement Map 3 — the same map that the Ohio Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional.

Harrison County Board of Elections president Dion Troiano spoke with the News-Herald about what the indecision over the congressional map might mean for the upcoming primary. "As soon as we hear something, we'll put info up on — where and when — on our website," Troiano said.

Some races and levies will not be on the upcoming May 3 primary, Troiano said, if they don't have an approved map to work with.

These would be pushed back to the proposed second primary. State Representative Don Jones would be on the ballot for the second primary — so would many individuals running for

both the Republican and Democratic Central Committees seats.

As far as races that will be decided in the upcoming primary, Troiano said, voters can view sample ballots on their website. The ballots include candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, United States Senate, United States representatives, state attorney general, state auditor, secretary of state, treasurer of state, chief justice of supreme court, and two regular justices, seventh district court of appeals judge, county commissioner, county auditor, and Republican Central Committee. There are also three county-wide tax levies: Council on Aging, County Home, and the Sheriff's Office.

Residents can also make sure they are registered to vote by looking themselves up on the website.

Troiano also explained that 17-year-olds who will be 18 by November can vote on candidates on the general ballot but not on tax issues. However, the deadline to register for 17-year-olds closed on April 4.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I write to call into question comments made

by Mr. Dustin Corder in the April 2 edition of the Harrison News-Herald. Mr. Corder stated in his Q&A from the paper, “I am shocked when elected officials tell me they can’t get a return phone call from the commissioners.”

I asked Mr. Corder about this statement at the commissioner’s meeting on April 13. He at first said that is not what the article said or that it wasn’t what was meant. I read the quote to him, and he then acknowledged that, yes, someone had said that to him. I asked Commissioner Norris if he had ever had a call that he did not return. He confirmed he did not remember ever not returning a call. I later asked Commissioner Bethel the same, as he was not at the meeting due to a recent medical procedure, and he confirmed the same.

I am entering my sixth year as a commissioner, and I have never not returned a call. When I asked Mr. Corder to provide the name so I could apologize for not getting back to the person because we didn’t get their message and asking why they didn’t call back or call the office, he said he would have to get back to me. I have not heard anything to date. Now I see his ad in the paper saying that the commissioners do not support, communicate, or cooperate with residents, businesses, or other elected officials. While the commissioners cannot please everyone all the time, we certainly do all that we can to listen, help, support, and communicate with the public. I would tell you to ask your village officials how much the county commissioners have contributed to projects across the county. I personally take pride in serving the county and take offense to these unsubstantiated comments.

— Paul Coffland, County Commissioner and resident of Cadiz

MWCD celebrates Earth Day NEW PHILADELPHIA — Earth Day is April 22, 2022, and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) is celebrating with its Earth Day "Cleanup Challenge."

"Earth Day serves as a reminder of our responsibility to care for nature and our environment," says Adria Bergeron, Director of Marketing and Communications. "The MWCD rangers and staff work hard to ensure the health and beauty of our lakes by conducting cleanups year-round, not just on Earth Day. We are inviting the public to get involved by attending an organized

cleanup to earn a free night of camping, or clean up on their own and enter to win a cooler full of goodies as our way of saying thank you."

Winning World War II was a tough job, and it took the Army, Navy, and Marines to do it, according to Hanna Coal's monthly newsletter back in 1946. The J-2 crew at Piney Fork was an excellent example of reconverted GIs, gobs, and leathernecks, all doing their bit in the struggle for peacetime prosperity through the production of coal.

Of the 13-man crew, nine were discharged servicemen, ranging in civilian status from two to four months and doing a commendable job filling out coal quotas for the world.Pictured is Walter J. Ludwig (left to right), Maynard, infantry; James J. Long, Piney Fork, Navy; John Crosley, Piney Fork, Navy; Henry Deneski, Adena, Army; Walter Carczyk, St. Clairsville, Army; Stanley Kornetti, Piney Fork, Signal Corps; Richard Dunbury, Piney Fork, Marines. Absent was James Delohe, G.I. There are two names missing from the picture; maybe someone can call and tell me (740-733-7614). Harrison News-Herald Photo/Esther McCoy

Ohio endangered species COLUMBUS — Every five years, the Division of Wildlife reviews and updates the species listed as endangered, threatened, extirpated, species of concern, and special interest. This year, 58 different species listings were changed, added, or removed from the endangered and threatened species list. A complete list of species is available at wildohio. gov.

Three fish species, the alligator gar, blacknose shiner, and longhead darter, were downgraded to endangered from extirpated.

Many species of dragonflies, damselflies, and butterflies were updated following years of thorough citizen science reporting. Two crayfish species, the blue crayfish and the crawzilla crawdad, were added to the list after previously unknown in Ohio.

We want to be able to fly as many banners as possible, so we’re offering to share the cost by purchasing the hanging brackets ($60), and you will pay only for the banner ($60). What a beautiful and patriotic way to honor and show our support for our hometown heroes.

Thank you, Cheryl Madonna, for sharing your Easter dinner at your home in Dennison. It was a very

enjoyable afternoon.

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy The thrill of Easter is over, but now we can look forward to the world of baseball and softball by the younger athletes of the area. It is so assuring to see youngsters in their baseball uniforms walking down Main Street heading for the baseball and softball fields. I can remember when there were two Spartans and Jets teams. There was always a big attendance when they played each other. There would be a large crowd of parents and youth to take in the excitement. And the concession stand did good business. Bob Rish was the president of the baseball teams.

There was some exciting baseball over the school holidays. It’s exciting seeing the Buckeye Local Panthers having such a great season.

They have won many more games than they dropped. Congratulations to Ethan McHugh for all the playing he is doing for the team — and all the others as well.

Harrison Central held on with Indian Creek to hand them the first loss of their season at 3-1. Tristen Kovarik had the win for the Huskies, striking out six and going the distance. The Edison baseball team beat Bellaire 5-3 on Easter break. Brayden Moses drove in three runs for the Wildcats, while Isaac Zastudil and Jayden Clancey had a pair of hits, with Clancey also having an RBI. Cam Cooley went six innings for the win.

Some other fun is the opening of Kennywood. This will be the 125th anniversary of the park — it’s always had a sweet spot in my heart. One time I was very nervous when our son, Larry, wanted to go on the scary airborne seats that practically swung a person upside down. The children with him did not want to go on it — and neither did the adults, if you want to know the truth. Larry got upset and said there would be no more rides. I didn’t want that to happen for them, so I said I would go. Going up to the ticket booth Larry learned that they were not selling tickets because a bad storm was coming up. I was so happy but tried to look disappointed for Larry’s sake.

Ladies of Harrison County and any Farm Bureau women from other counties can have an exciting adventure on April 25 with the Farm City Luncheon at the Harrison County Fairgrounds (10 a.m.) The cost is free, and there will be a chance to win door prizes.

Fresh-made omelets and fruit will be served.

Kevin Hopkins will be speaking on “What comes first, the chicken or the egg?” He is the poultry live production manager of Balmbach Feed. Ladies have until April 18 to register.

A really great singer that I knew from when he and Lamont worked at Timet together, Fred Van Dyke has died. He was called Fritz more often than not and lived nearly all his life in Toronto. I liked that his wife was named Esther, as I seldom hear anybody else with that name. He died 16 days shy of the one-year anniversary of her departure. Fritz sang in two quartets, the Harvesters and the Faith Trio.

His daughter, Darlene, had a music ministry as well. We have a 78-rpm vinyl of Darlene’s.

It is raining and cold today, but I know that spring is just waiting for the right time to put flowers in bloom, now that the daffodils are starting to fade and trees are in leaf. We even have a few squirrels back in our trees out back.

I wonder where they go in the winter?

UNIONPORT

By Mary-Catherine Mull Appreciation and a big thank you go to each and every one from the Wayne Township Community group for attending and helping with the indoor yard sale and breakfast event.

Mary Anna Cotter of Bowerston and Paige Moss of Dover attended the memorial funeral service for Pat Smith of the Unionport Eastern Star Chapter.

Arbor Day is Friday, April 29; that would be a nice time to plant a tree in memory of someone.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul Burchfield of Mesa, Arizona are visiting Richard and Melda Burchfield, Scott and Tammy Burchfield, and Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie Burchfield.

Prayer time will be 9:30 a.m. for the RussianUkraine conflict, flooding, tornados, and the sick and shut-ins. Also, a Bible study will be held in the Unionport United Methodist Church on Wednesday at 10 a.m. It’s open to the public; everyone is welcome.

Read 2 Chronicles 7:14.

From the Sheriff’s office: Drug Take-Back Day As springtime arrives, Harrison County Sheriff Joe Myers is announcing the 18th National Prescription Drug Take-Back spring event in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Locally, the event will be held on April 30, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Cadiz’s Rite Aid Pharmacy. Each location will accept any unwanted, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs for safe disposal (no liquids).

“Safe disposal of the drugs is important for

numerous reasons,” Myers stated.

According to the sheriff, the National Prescription Drug Take-Back event addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.

Many residents are not aware when medicines languish in home cabinets, they are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in this country are alarming, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses. Studies show that many abused prescription drugs are obtained

from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, many Americans do not know how to dispose of their unused medicine properly, often flushing them down the toilet or tossing them in the trash can — both potential safety and health hazards.

“Prescription drug abuse is a problem everywhere. It is huge, and this provides a great opportunity for folks around the county to help reduce the threat,” Myers said. “I

encourage everyone to clean out their medicine cabinets and make your home safe from drug theft and abuse.”

Myers also reminded everyone that there is also a dropbox at the Rite Aid in Cadiz and one in his lobby, which is open 24 hours a day for anyone needing to drop off. For additional information, you may visit DEA.gov or contact the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office at 740942-2197.

Good NEWS

By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches PastorKenStaley@gmail.com Community: It seems to be in short supply around much of the country. It’s sure not as prevalent as it was 30–40 years ago. As the old sitcom put it, “Sometimes you just want to go where everybody knows your name.” Well, we have that right here in our own backyard.

The Adena Lions Club, champions of community and who know almost everybody’s name, will be hosting their 70th annual music and comedy show next weekend, April 29– 30h at 7:30 p.m. That’s right, their 70th show; that makes “Gunsmoke” and “Law & Order” look like amateurs. The show will be held at West Elementary in Adena. Every year the show focuses on a different theme. This year’s show was supposed to be performed in 2020, but then the pandemic rolled in (the only time the show has ever been canceled).

With a number like 2020, what else could the theme be but vision? The show is called “Lion Eyes,” and all the songs performed will have the theme of vision, one of the main focuses of Lions Clubs International. Some of the songs performed will be “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blues,” “I Only Have Eyes For You,” and so many more. The comedy skits between songs are legendary because they are done by grown men who are not afraid to hurt themselves to make you laugh.

What makes the show so appealing is that it is performed by your friends and neighbors from around our area like Karl Bowers, Dennis and Pam Kinsey, R.J. Konkoleski, Bill Ralston, Dean Rutan, Rob Whinnery, JoAnn Connor, Lauren Florence, Wally Jancura, Julie Packer, Marty Packer and Dan and Nikki Smallwood. John Parkinson, who has been in almost all of the prior 69 shows dating back to 1951, returns as interlocutor. Tickling the ivories again this year will be keyboardist extraordinaire and the show’s music director Dustin Kinsey.

This annual show is the Adena Lion Club’s biggest fundraiser every year. Through the generosity of the show’s program book sponsors and your $10 ticket purchase, the Lions Club has netted over $100,000 combined from the last 12 shows ($100,000!!). And most of the money stays in the local community and is used to purchase eyeglasses, support local schools and ball teams, provide scholarships, assist food pantries, help sponsor an annual summer reading program, and more. You can’t get more community-oriented than that!

So make sure to set aside Friday or Saturday night next weekend to support your community by attending the Adena Lions Club Show at 7:30 p.m. at West Elementary in Adena. Come out and hear those Lions roar!

variant; it does not appear to be causing a greater number of hospitalizations and deaths.

Present official numbers account only for reported cases, and there could be many more asymptomatic carriers who go unreported.

Rhome stressed that due to a higher overall immunity in the population — thanks to either natural or vaccinated immunity — more people are experiencing milder cases. "If you can recover at home and not seek medical attention, that is a good thing," he said, meaning that the area's health care systems are not being overloaded.

Locally, counting from the week that ended on April 15, there have been only five new cases, bringing the county up to 3,232 cumulative cases. This means that nearly onefourth of the population has had a reported positive test for COVID-19. About 42% of the eligible population has received the vaccine by now (over 6,000 residents).

There have been no COVID-19 deaths reported in Harrison County since midMarch.

Rhome said that about 50 second boosters have been given at the office and that eligible individuals seeking the second booster dose should contact area pharmacies to see where it is available.

As for other public health measures (on a national level), debates and disputes are ongoing, with a federal judge recently making a ruling overturning the FAA's requirements for masks during air travel. There may be challenges to the ruling, however.

"If you are traveling on an airplane in a small, confined space without access to fresh air, I would recommend making the decision to wear a mask," Rhome said. He stressed that during the past two years, health experts have come to understand much more clearly the importance of airflow and fresh-air turnover when it comes to reducing the spread.

Various studies have shown the benefit of having a window open or upgrading your air conditioning or furnace system.

Strong start continues for Huskies

BY D.J. WATSON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer CADIZ — While Mother Nature has done her best to spoil the first half of the high school baseball season, the Huskies and their new turf facility simply aren't tolerating any of that effort. Harrison has won seven of their first nine contests, and most nights, they have battled not only their on-field opponent but the weather as well. Even though temperatures have hovered in the 30s and 40s, with most evenings producing an uncomfortable level of precipitation, fortunately, the games have gone on. However, that isn't to say there hasn't been some schedule shuffling, as eight of those first nine games have been played in Cadiz.

After rolling off to a 5–0 start, the Huskies have split a pair of games with Indian Creek, showed out in dominate 10–1 fashion against Claymont, and dropped an 8–2 decision to Steubenville.

In the most recent action, the Indian Creek Redskins outlasted the Huskies' productive offense. The Redskins rallied on two different occasions this past Tuesday night. With Indian Creek's field unplayable because of weather, the second leg of the season series took place with Harrison playing as the away team on their own field. The Huskies jumped out to a 2–0 lead in the top half of the first, only to have the Redskins match their number in the bottom half. The bats rolled again in the second for the Huskies, as they put up four runs to go back in front 6–2. The top of third was also kind to head coach Mike Valesko's club, as they added

another run to make it 7–2. However, Indian Creek had a huge third inning at the plate.

When the scoreboard moved to the fourth, the Redskins were in front 8–7. Creek added an insurance run in the fourth frame and eventually went on to win 9–7.

The night before was much more exciting for the Huskies and their brave band of supporters.

The opening night of the back-to-back with the Redskins ended in dramatic fashion, as Jace Madzia belted one off the left-field wall in the ninth inning to walk the Huskies off with a 6–5 come-from-behind win. Indian Creek led the entirety of the evening, scoring four runs in the first inning and one in the third. It wasn't until the home half of the third that the Huskies broke into the scoring column. It was 5–3 after the third, then 5–4 after the fifth.

Harrison finally tied the game at 5-5 in the bottom of the seventh, forcing extra innings on a soggy night at Mazeroski Field.

Senior Trace Rutter (3-0), who entered the game in the first inning to relieve Tre Rex, labored through the rest of the game, willing the Huskies to victory from the mound. Madzia's late-game magic scored junior Treston Nemeth for the game-winning run.

Nemeth continues his video game-like start to 2022. The future Dayton Flyer is batting .815 at the dish, with four home runs and 10 RBIs at the time of press.

The Huskies will see rival St. Clairsville before a home-and-home series with Edison this coming week. The much anticipated OVAC 4A semifinal is slated for April 23

Harrison’s Madzia tabbed as All-TL

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer CADIZ — With 2021-22 basketball accolades winding down, last week, Harrison Central's Jace Madzia was named to the AllTimes Leader's boys' basketball team. Madzia earned his way into the lineup by averaging 14.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per outing. He also showed his selflessness by averaging 3.4 assists.

Only a junior, Madzia also made his way to the All-Eastern District team, the District V's team, and was named All-Buckeye 8.

"Jace had a great year for us," said Harrison's head boys varsity coach Justin Clifford. "He did it all: He handled the ball, rebounded, scored, and distributed it. He really grew as the season went on and became one of the allaround better players around," Clifford added.

Additionally, there were 10 other local players named to the squad: River's Brody Lathin, Buckeye Local's Cameron Best,

Shadyside's Korey Beckett, St. Clairsville's Ryan McCort and Avery Henry, Martin Ferry's Jaizen Miles, Union Local's Beezer Porter, Barnesville's Kason Powell, Bellaire's Owen Ward, and Monroe Central's Malachi Rose-Burton.

BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer After losing to Bellaire earlier in the season, the Harrison Central Lady Huskies turned the tables on the Big Reds on April 12 at home.

Sarah Touville stayed red hot offensively, swatting a triple and a single and tallying four RBIs. Maddy Butler belted a home run and a triple, driving in two runs. Kaylee Banal added two RBIs, and Jenna Young and Olivia Tonkovich each had one. Winning pitcher Tristen Kovarik struck out three and walked one while giving up only four hits. Final score: Harrison Central 12, Bellaire 2.

On Wednesday, April 13, the Huskies entertained the Redskins of Indian Creek.

The Huskies jumped out to a 3-0 lead after four innings then held on to win 3-1. Olivia Tonkovich and Lizzy Clelland led the batting with a double each. Alina Williams, Jenna Young, and Tonkovich all had RBIs. And Butler added two stolen bases to her stats.

Kovarik surrendered one earned run while giving up eight hits. She collected six strikeouts while issuing three walks. Final score: Harrison Central 3, Indian Creek 1

Thursday, April 14 pit the Lady Huskies against the Martins Ferry Purple Riders. With the score tied at two at the end of regulation, the Huskies took the lead at the top of the eighth.

However, victory was not to be; Martins Ferry roared back to secure the win, courtesy of a three-run homer by Hunter Pollock.

The Huskies outhit the Riders by an 11-4 margin, with Cleland leading the way with a home run and two singles. Touville contributed three singles, while Kovarik and Tonkovich had two singles each. The Huskies also stole four bases. Final score: Martins Ferry 5, Harrison Central 4 Last Friday night (April 15), the Buckeye Local Panthers came to Harrison Central.

Kovarik kept the Panthers off the scoreboard for six innings while the Huskies built up a 4-0 lead. Clelland drove in one run with a double, while Kovarik collected an RBI with a single.

Touville chipped in a double; Rylee Smith added an RBI. Buckeye Local rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh before Kovarik closed the door. Kovarik recorded six Ks while surrendering just one walk and allowing seven hits. Final score: Harrison Central 4, Buckeye Local 3

LOOK AT THE PAST One-Room Schoolhouse

By Susan Adams

A one-room school somewhere in Harrison County but the location and name are unknown. As the land was settled, schools, churches, and towns were built. At first, people met in their homes for church, school, and community meetings. A few families joined together and hired a teacher for a summer or a winter term. These “subscription schools” were used until about 1850. After that, the government provided schools, erected school buildings, and hired teachers.

As the Northwest Territory (of which Ohio was a part) was surveyed, the 16th section was set aside for education. The money from the sale of that land was kept to build schools and universities. The one-room school flourished in the 20th century; then, consolidation came with modern roads and transportation. Schools became larger and the controls more distant. Those who attended one-room schools praised those days when pupils and teachers lived as a family and learned together. Small groups have a place and sometimes serve the world in a big way.

Info from the book “Lest We Forget - Harrison County Early Schools,” published by Harrison County Retired Teachers in 1985. Picture from the Harrison County Historical Society. The double doors in front: If it was a Quaker building, men could go in on one side and women on the other. These were also known as “funeral doors” (also found on houses with two front doors) because during this period, funerals were held in the people’s homes. Folks would go in one door for the viewing and leave using the other door.

The commissioners continued with the meeting by approving various regular purchase orders, including funds for JFS and the Board of Developmental Disabilities.

Then an agreement amendment was recited and approved: Agreement 3218 was amended to provide another six months on the contract with Harrison Power LLC — the company providing engineering and construction services to Gemma Power Systems and the muchtalked-about Harrison Energy Center.

CRIMINAL DISPOSITION REPORT April 18 Romuald J Muszynski, Cruelty to animals Susan Muszynski, Cruelty to animals Christopher C Newell, Possession of drug paraphernalia Dennis W Knight, Aggravated menacing Nakeshia L Woodfork, Possession of marijuana SHERIFF REPORTS 4/21 DOMESTIC: A Tippecanoe man got in an altercation with his wife. The woman arrived home after work and walked over to her son’s house (next door).

While talking to the husband about car repairs and needing a ride to pick it up, she followed him up the stairs. As the husband went to slam shut a door, the woman got caught between the door and jamb, which sent her backward into a wall. The woman sustained minor injuries to her left shoulder and bumped her head in the process.

COMPLAINT IN FREEPORT: A man was lying in bed and heard a loud banging sound outside his home. Upon leaving the house, the man noticed his home, car, and another building around back had been egged.

4/14 Deputies responded to three different residences in Scio regarding their cars being broken into. Resident 1 reported that their glove department had been tampered with and left open with numerous piece of paperwork left scatted on the passenger seat. Resident 2 had reported a similar scene: Their car door had been left open with scattered paperwork.

However, Resident 2 also stated that their registration, insurance card, and a tire gauge were missing from their vehicle. Resident 3 also had their car broken into but had security camera footage of the thief. Occurring at around 3 a.m. the camera corroborated her reports of a missing Olive Garden gift card, pocket knife, and pepper gun.

A stolen vehicle was recently reported from the Moorefield Township Building on Moorefield Hill Road. Investigating deputies discovered a bent screwdriver in the grass at the scene, along with an entryway on the right side of the building that normally had a padlock on it. Inside the garage, a pair of bolt cutters was found. Reporting officers believed that the thief used those to break and enter and then forgot them as they stole the Township’s Ford F-250. The truck was also reported to have a Springfield 0.22-caliber rifle, Stihl chainsaw, and miscellaneous tools within it.

the citizens, and that is amazing."

Before wrapping up last Thursday's press conference, Migliore gave the lectern to Congressman Johnson. He first spoke on inflation and its effects on Harrison County and Ohio, but he showed some pride as he explained how the process played out in Cadiz's favor this time: "But sometimes Washington gets it right. And these congressionally directed community

investment projects, this is one that worked.

Last year, each member of the House was allowed to submit ten applications. We submitted our quota. We had five that were funded, and this was one of them. The case was very well made. The city did a great job; those that came together to provide the data as to why this was so vitally important.

I'm very proud to have played a small part in this."

July and be completed by September 2025.

During the commissioners' session, a local union laborer asked, "So, the plant is definitely coming to the area?" Coffland commented on the plans being adjusted over the years and the extension they just requested. He stated, "According to that document, they're starting in July 2022."

To end the meeting, the commissioners were given some questions by Dirk Harkins, who was there representing himself as a veteran. He had questions in hopes of finding a way to "better help veterans in our community."

Harkins first asked about funds given to the Veterans Service Office being returned at the end of the year. Coffland explained how the office receives money from the general fund and whatever they don't spend needs to be returned, a standard procedure for many departments.

However, Coffland shared that the commissioners let the Veterans Service

Office know that some of the money had been returned; the county will hold on to it if projects like renovations come up.

Harkins also asked about money for emergencies, the caps placed on items like holiday gift certificates given to veterans, and how the returned money could be put toward veteran programs. The commissioners clarified that they oversee the budget, but there's not much involvement after that. Instead, they pointed Harkins toward either the Veterans Services board or the county and state auditors, noting that Veterans Services has various rules and regulations separate from anything the commissioners regulate.

Harkins is active in the veteran community; when speaking of other former service members, he said, "We've gotta get out there and be proactive." The commissioners thanked him for his efforts.
