Harrison leads OH in Lyme cases, residents should take precautions

BY REBECCA BRATTEN WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

Harrison County residents need to be especially aware of Lyme disease during the months ahead, and a crucial part of prevention

is understanding the tiny tick that carries the disease. County health administrator Garen Rhome recently talked to the News-Herald about local Lyme numbers, the life cycle and habits of the tick, and how area residents can protect themselves.

For the past decade (back to 2012), Harrison County has led the state in cases of Lyme disease per capita. And especially in the past five or six years, the region has seen a significant increase in Lyme numbers. In 2017 the county saw a tremendous surge in cases: 51.

Then the county reported 65 cases in 2020 and 110 in 2021. July 2020 and July 2021 were the highest months ever.

What has changed in those past 10 years is that the blacklegged deer tick that carries the Lyme-causing bacteria is moving west across the United States. "Where we are now is sort of the new frontier for this species as it moves across the country," Rhome said. "We are now part of where they live, whereas we weren't 10 years ago. This isn't the tick we grew up with."

Lyme, Rhome explained, is caused almost exclusively by this species of tick, which is different from the American dog tick or wood tick most people are used to.

"With the dog tick, we had 'tick season,' but with the blacklegged deer tick, there is no tick season," Rhome said. "It is a year-round tick.

It has a two-year life cycle, so there is always some form of this tick species that is active and searching for a blood meal. Any time that the temperature is above freezing, you could encounter these ticks." Last year, he noted, even though the numbers peaked between June and August, there was no time without Lyme: It has become a year-round phenomenon.

Commissioners: Light Ohio Blue, Apex landfill, SR 250 detours, and more

BY SHAWN DIGITY twitter.com/DIGITYnodoubt

The Harrison County Commissioners met for their usual Wednesday morning meeting and quickly jumped into a busy session as they passed a seven-motion combination of resolutions and agreements. The day's first visitor was Lisa Ward of the Mental Health & Recovery Board, and she took the floor to segue into the first resolution. Ward led the way for Resolution 22-22 as she expounded on the mental health aspects of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and May as Mental Health Awareness Month.

"Mental health is essential to everyone's overall health and well-being, and all Harrison County residents face challenges in life that can impact their mental health, especially during a pandemic. Prevention is an effective way to reduce the burden of mental conditions, and there are practical tools that all people can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency. Mental health conditions are real and prevalent in our nation, and each business, school, government agency, healthcare provider, organization, and citizen shares the burden of mental problems and has a responsibility to promote mental wellness and support prevention and treatment efforts," as recited from the resolution.

Resolution 22-22 implored the commissioners to adopt May as Mental Health Awareness Month — and they did. The first resolution was motioned, seconded, and passed

by Commissioners Dale Norris, Paul Coffland, and Don Bethel. "We…proclaim May 2022 as Mental Health Month in Harrison County, and we call upon our citizens to increase their awareness and understanding of mental health and take steps to protect their own

mental health and well-being," the resolution concluded.

The commissioners then quickly approved two purchase orders for the County Home and Department of Jobs and Family Services before shifting into the second resolution of the day. Resolution 23-22 had been submitted by the Sheriff's Office and explained that they'd joined a Light Ohio Blue campaign. According to the resolution, the Light Central Ohio Blue initiative was started in 2016 to "honor and pay respects to law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, as well as honor those that are currently serving as sworn and civilian staff."

Those who wish to honor those currently serving as police officers or who died while committed to protecting the community are asked to illuminate a blue light outside their homes to symbolize their support. Picking up after National Peace Officers Week on May 6, the resolution in earnest asked for the following week (May 15–21) to be the county's Light Ohio Blue designation.

And in addition to the blue lights, the resolution and campaign are also encouraging friends, families, and community members to flock to social media to showcase their support: "Most importantly, tell your friends, family, and neighbors what you are doing, and post a picture to social media using #LightOhioBlue2022."

So as the commissioners passed the resolution, it "hereby declares May 15–21, 2022 as 'Light Ohio Blue' week and expresses its gratitude to the women and men of Harrison County who wear the uniform and support law enforcement." In Ohio, this will be the seventh year of Light Ohio Blue, and it's the fourth year for Harrison County.

The third and final resolution of the day,

PROM

Resolution 24-22, addressed the ODOT-led reconstruction on U.S. 250. The resolution requested that ODOT "designate an additional local detour route" for traffic to circumvent the expected months-long 250 construction work in Tuscarawas and Harrison Counties.

To clarify the project more, the Ohio Department of Transportation is planning to "reconstruct a portion of U.S. Route 250 from State Route 800 at Dennison in Tuscarawas County to State Route 151 in Harrison County, which will involve a planned closure of U.S. Route 250 for an estimated 100 days."

As it stands, the current and official ODOT detour would traverse State Route 800 to U.S. Route 22 and then U.S. 250 eastward and the reverse for westward traffic.

However, ODOT has also created secondary — and more localized — detours, dubbed "designated local detours."

The first local route would include Pleasant Valley Road (Tuscarawas County Road 37) and Mount Bethel Road (Union and Mill Township Road 295) in Tuscarawas County and Bethel Road (Monroe Township Road 278) and Edie Road (Monroe Township Road 277) in Harrison County. ODOT also has a second local detour involving Pleasant Valley Road (Tuscarawas County Road 37) in Tuscarawas County, Beitler Road (Monroe Township Road 194) in Harrison County, and Azalea Road (Carroll County Road 22) in Carroll County. The Department's tertiary local route encompasses Feed Spring Hill Road (Tuscarawas County Road 36) in Tuscarawas County and Moravian Trail Road (Harrison County Road 2) and Plum Run Road (Harrison County Road 8) in Harrison County.

OVAC FINALS

HCCIC intends to keep working for the county

in spite of severed ties with commissioners

BY REBECCA BRATTEN WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer The cooperative agreement between the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation and the County Commissioners has been terminated, ending a working relationship that has existed since the HCCIC was first incorporated in 1969. The termination follows a period of ongoing disputes, culminating with the commissioners' ultimatum demanding that the HCCIC dismiss Executive Director Nick Homrighausen. The deadline to meet the ultimatum was April 21. And the board of the HCCIC voted 9–3 to keep Homrighausen, even though it meant terminating their agreement with the commissioners.

HCCIC president Dale Arbaugh explained that they tried for a year and a half to come to a solution to work through their problems and, during that time, tried to avoid airing their disagreements publicly, but they ultimately had to weigh the consequences of severing ties with the commissioners versus dismissing Homrighausen. However, he said, "this is not the outcome any of us wanted."

Arbaugh explained that one issue they had been working through was trying to come up with a better communication system since some of the problems that had arisen were the result of inadequate communication and faulty perceptions. Another, he said, had to do with land ownership. One property, in particular, he said, got transferred to the HCCIC by accident.

"There was no malice; it just somehow got transferred, and it is going to be corrected."

There were also questions about how payments from land sales would take place.

"We came to resolutions on several of the matters," Arbaugh said. But ultimately, it came down to whether or not they would agree to terminate Homrighausen's employment.

As for the allegations against Homrighausen — and the reasons the commissioners wanted him out of the picture — Arbaugh stated that the commissioners' dissatisfaction goes back to the way communications and interactions took place with the Harrison Power project.

"Accusations were made by the commissioners that Nick was acting on his own," Arbaugh said. "This wasn't the case. We had two legal councils involved, board members other than ourselves. Nick was never on his own. But he was our agent and representative."

When it came time to vote on whether to dismiss Homrighausen, Arbaugh said they tried to keep it fair and equal for everybody.

The vote was a secret ballot, so no one needed to worry about feeling political pressure.

"I have no knowledge of who voted which way — other than the one commissioner."

Also, to keep things fair, they had one of the commissioners help tally the ballots.

As for how this could affect future projects in the county, Arbaugh said he is still unsure but hopes they can keep moving forward with the deals coming through, including the two major projects under discussion, Harrison Energy and Western Magnesium. "Though we are severing ties, we are not going to relinquish those if we don't have to. We are not a dead organization. We are going to keep working for the county as best we can." Nevertheless, if the commissioners don't want to work with HCCIC See Pg.- 2

LETTER TO THE EDITOR The Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation (HCCIC) is disappointed but not surprised by the actions that have been taken by Harrison County Commissioners Bethel and Coffland. As we are all aware, they set an ultimatum that Nick Homrighausen must be dismissed as our executive director by April 21, 2022. If the HCCIC did not submit to these demands, they were going to terminate our cooperative agreement. In that cooperative agreement, the HCCIC acted as an agent for the county commissioners in order to sell land and bring businesses to Harrison County.

On two separate occasions, Commissioners Coffland and Bethel were asked to present evidence as to the allegations and concerns they had against Mr. Homrighausen. The first presentation was presented by Commissioner Coffland in [an] executive session. The second presentation was public at a meeting whereby Commissioner Bethel discussed his issues regarding Mr. Homrighausen.

The HCCIC reviewed that information and found it not to be reasons for [the] termination of Mr. Homrighausen. In fact, there was a vote of the Board to keep Mr. Homrighausen by a 9–3 count. Commissioner Bethel is a voting board member. The HCCIC has asked for specific written documentation regarding Mr. Homrighausen and was provided one exhibit by Commissioner Bethel.

Commissioners Coffland and Bethel have made public allegations at least two times in the paper against Mr. Homrighausen, as well as the presentations to the HCCIC Board.

Commissioners Coffland and Bethel went so far as to issue a press release calling Mr. Homrighausen unethical, dishonest, and unforthright [not forthright] and indicated

there were cases of blatant and premeditated breaches of trust. To date, they have presented no compelling evidence to substantiate those allegations to our Board.

The HCCIC has an experienced Board.

Our Board is full of businessmen and businesswomen in the community, elected officials, and nonelected officials. All of these Board Members are respected and trustworthy people in the community. They have donated their time to the HCCIC, some for many years now. At no time would any of these individuals allow someone who has been untrustworthy or directly lied to the county commissioners to stay in our employment. Once again, no compelling evidence was submitted by Commissioners Coffland or Bethel.

The HCCIC is hopeful that the press will demand specific documentation as to our executive director's alleged insufficiencies and untruthfulness from the commissioners. As a result of us not firing our executive director, Nicholas Homrighausen, our cooperative agreement with the county commissioners has been unilaterally terminated.

At present, Mr. Homrighausen is championing two projects to include a power plant located in our county. The power plant intends to spend up to $1 billion in our community. In addition, he is working on the Western Magnesium plant, which proposes to build a $1.5-billion plant with the potential of over 700 workers to be located within Harrison County. He is also continuing to develop multiple state leads and develop our county further.

The HCCIC also has concerns that the county commissioners' actions may potentially

Notice of Proposed Major Utility Facility FACILITY DESCRIPTION Nottingham Solar LLC (Nottingham) a wholly owned subsidiary of BQ Energy Development LLC (BQ Energy), proposes to construct and operate a solar-powered electric generation facility ( the “Project”) in Harrison County, Ohio, with a nameplate capacity of 100-megawatts (MW) alternating current (AC), (hereinafter referred to as MW). The Project will connect to the regional transmission grid via an interonnection with Nottingham 138 kV Substation owned by American Electric Power (AEP). Construction of the project is anticipated to begin no sooner than forth quarter of 2022.

LOCATION AND GENERAL LAYOUT The general location and planned project layout of Nottingham Solar is shown on the map below:

affect the aforementioned projects and any potential future projects. At present, there are deals that are still being finalized that are being championed by our executive director.

If these businesses can no longer work with the HCCIC, the economic circumstances could be catastrophic. Harrison County could lose jobs, taxes on goods and services, and taxes on employees — not to mention a loss of money for the sale of the property.

Our executive director has the knowledge and the contacts to see these projects to completion. The process of entering into a new agreement with the county commissioners has been ongoing for some time. The HCCIC president has participated in one-on-one meetings with Commissioner Coffland and the respective attorneys. In addition, there have been meetings with our vice president, Bob Hendricks, Commissioner Coffland, and State Representative Don Jones. An agreement has not been reached by the deadline date, and an agreement will not be reached because we are simply not in a position to fire our executive director as demanded by County Commissioners Coffland and Bethel.

As of April 21, 2022, the HCCIC shall receive no more funding from the commissioners. It is our Board's position that we will continue as long as we have the funds to do so and will strive to execute our purpose despite the efforts of Commissioners Coffland and Bethel. It is our mission to continue to promise economic development in Harrison County by attracting new businesses to our county, which provide jobs and economic growth.

—Dale Arbaugh, President of the HCCIC

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I write to encourage the residents of Harrison County to do exactly what Commissioner Coffland suggested in his letter to the editor on 4/23. Go speak to your village council members, or your township trustees, and ask them how they feel about the communication, cooperation, and support coming from the Commissioners office. I believe you’ll get the same responses I did.

— Dustin Corder, Candidate for Harrison County Commissioner and resident of Harrison County

HCCIC From Pg.- 1

HCCIC directly, this could "have an impact on how things get handled."

Arbaugh also noted that the recent report from the commissioners that Harrison Energy would be breaking ground in July is inaccurate. "We have no knowledge of a time frame. To make a statement that there is a July groundbreaking date is totally unknown at this point. Nick is in communication with them almost weekly, but we don't have that knowledge." There is no new information on Western Magnesium, either.

Arbaugh concluded that their ultimate goal is to restore a working relationship with commissioners, but he's not sure whether they will want to do that or what the circumstances might be. "I hope both sides manage to make things work."

CV BoE-Bowerston talk water plant relocation

BY JACQUIE HUMPHREY Harrison News-Herald Correspondent LEESVILLE — At the Conotton Valley Board of Education's April meeting, Bowerston's council president, Paula Beamer, and village administrator, Bart Busby, were present to follow up on conversations about moving the water plant.

Busby reported to the board that he had spoken to the village's engineers and that Beamer had toured the property discussed during last month's meeting; Bowerston is interested in relocating a water plant onto the grounds of the former elementary school.

Busby advised that the engineers felt that the location was advantageous for the village's needs and asked if the board was prepared to move forward.

Superintendent Todd Herman said that school representatives had done some further research since March and believed that the board would be able to sell a piece of land to the village instead of leasing as previously discussed.

Board member Kevin Willoughby asked when construction would begin, and Busby anticipated that it would be in 2024; the

relocation of the water plant is the second step in a three-phase project that the village is undergoing.

Willoughby said he felt comfortable making the commitment and will have a resolution prepared for May's board meeting if all other members agreed.

In other discussions, Keith Imes and Jonathon Stuck addressed the board regarding technological requirements for the existing school facility and the Rocket Center.

Stuck explained that the Wi-Fi project, which will cost an estimated $31,000, will unify both the old and new portions of the school. Elementary principal John Zucal stated that it's very important to have reliable Wi-Fi now that all state testing is completed online.

Stuck also discussed a proposed project of upgrading cameras throughout the building and said that he and Imes would like to do it sooner rather than later. The project would cost approximately $77,000 and include coverage of parking lots. Willoughby inquired how many IT personnel will be needed once the Rocket Center is complete; Imes responded that two or two and a half full-time employees would be required.

The next regular meeting for the Board of Education will be held on Thursday, May 19 at

After a brief welcome and prod to the 11 attendees to check out the new Chamber website and social media pages, Executive Director Milo Baker introduced the speaker, Christy Penland-McMillan, Marketing Director and Sales at Southeast Publications. PenlandMcMillan discussed how marketing drives revenue and that every business needs to find ways to track its marketing success. She advised

that all avenues (radio, print, web, and direct mail) should be explored because customers emerge from all forms of marketing. The key is to know your customer base; experiment with advertising, and track the results. PenlandMcMillan's talk highlighted reasons why, in this digital age, print is still a viable advertising option. She said, "Print advertising is cheap, memorable, and drives potential customers to a website." She continued, "Marketing needs to be a consistent line item in your budget, and business owners need to think of it as an investment, not an expense." The next Coffee & Connections will be on Thursday, May 19, at 8:30 a.m.

Cadiz administrator’s report

BY SHAWN DIGITY twitter.com/DIGITYnodoubt At Cadiz's second April meeting, village administrator Brandon Ludwig presented his most up-to-date administrator's report. The first item on the agenda focused on the Sally Buffalo campground and the community park: Ludwig was elated that Harrison Central decided to use the Wallace Lodge to host their prom this year.

The second item on Ludwig's report focused on demolition projects ongoing in the village.

The old post office on South Main and the bank building at the Cadiz town square have both been hot-topic sites in recent years.

However, the village administrator expounded that the village was exploring options to have them demolished through Ohio's brownfield sites program. As a reminder, grant money has come in for the destruction and cleanup of brownfield sites and nuisance properties; receiving a portion of the dedicated grant money would allow villages within Harrison County to eliminate some of the rundown and shoddy buildings that plague their limits.

Item No. 3 on the administrator's report rehashed the funding recently received for the

north trunkline, part of the updated sewer project's second phase. In conjunction with the trunkline bullet point, Ludwig also announced that he had worked to become a notary, giving him authority to notarize easements on behalf of the village.

As for the fourth item on the report, Ludwig explained that the wastewater treatment plant project was about 90% completed, but some parts were on backorder, slowing down the remainder of the work. Kirk Brothers and CT Consultants are the organizations performing the work for the plant.

The fifth item on the list focused on the new stage coming to Sally Buffalo Park. Mark Puskarich, the mastermind behind the new stage, has been working with Border Patrol "to set the pins for the exact location." A groundbreaking ceremony is expected at the end of April or in the early parts of May. The sixth and final part of Ludwig's report was the employee spotlight. This time it was for Shawn Greer, a 15-year village worker and life-long Cadiz resident; Greer also recently received his Class 2 water certification. As Ludwig recognized Greer for his body of work, it concluded the April 21 administrator's report as well.

The Ohio Department of Education announced that Harrison Central (among 262 others) is in the Purple Star Class of 2022.

Ohio now has 431 active Purple Star schools.

The award recognizes a school's commitment to serving and supporting students and families connected to the United States armed forces and Ohio National Guard. The announcement was part of Ohio's participation in the celebration

of the Month of the Military Child.

In 1986, the Department of Defense designated April as the Month of the Military Child, and a complete list of honorees can be found on the Ohio Department of Education's Purple Star page. One way in which the district

supported the military is through a project led by seniors in the service learning class.

LOOK AT THE PAST The Silver Spade

By Susan Adams

The Silver Spade was a giant power shovel used for strip mining in southeastern Ohio.

Manufactured by Bucyrus-Erie in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the model 1950-B was one of two models built, the other being the Gem of Egypt (Giant Earth Mover). Its sole function was to remove the earth and rock overburden from the coal seam. Attempts to purchase and preserve the shovel from Consol to make it the centerpiece of a mining museum exhibit for $2.6 million fell short, and the shovel was dismantled in February 2007. The cab and bucket are located at the Harrison Coal and Reclamation Historical Park outside New Athens on State Route 519. The Silver Spade began operation in Harrison County, Ohio in November 1965 and shut down in April 2006. The bucket capacity was 105 cubic yards.

The operation weight was 14,000,000 pounds, and the height was 220 feet to the top of the boom. Furthermore, the crawlers were eight feet high and 34 feet long (this thing could walk). It could dig 315,000 pounds of earth in a single bite. The information comes from Wikipedia, and the picture is from the Harrison County Historical Society.

Pictures of the Spade and other shovels (and more) will be available at the 28th Harrison Coal and Reclamation Historical Park Dinner Auction on Saturday, May 7 in the Hopedale VFD’s social hall. And the HCRHP is celebrating 30 years (1992-2022). The doors open at 4 p.m., dinner is at 5, and the auction is around 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and include dinner, drinks and more. For reservations, information, or to donate items for the auction, contact 740-391-4134, 740-942-3895, or email info@HCRHP.org. Tickets are in the Harrison County Visitors Center (143 S. Main St. in Cadiz) Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–3 p.m.

Make check payable to HCRHP.

Castro arraigned

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ — After several weeks of waiting, Benjamin Castro was served his indictment.

The 33-year-old Steubenville resident met Judge T. Shawn Hervey via video conference for his arraignment on Tuesday.

Castro has been charged with pandering obscenity involving a minor, a second-degree felony, which is punishable with up to eight years at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections, a fine of up to $15,000, and a lifetime registration as a sex offender.

His second charge is the illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance — another second-degree felony. The third charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles is a fifth-degree felony and an offense that requires registration as a sex offender and is punishable by up to 12 months at ODRC. The fourth and final charge of contributing to the unruliness and delinquency of a child is a first-degree misdemeanor that could add six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Public defender C. Adrian Pincola has been appointed to represent Castro. "As the court knows, it has taken some time to actually arraign. We have an obligation to request a review of the bond," Pincola stated.

Hervey asked Prosecutor Lauren Knight about her position on the bond. Knight told the court, "Given the nature of the alleged offenses, as well as the defendant's prior criminal history including 2008 — convicted in the general court, sentenced to 72 months confinement for anal sodomy and child pornography — the state would request the bond remain at $75,000."

Pincola asked Castro if he could make bond; he replied, "No, sir."

Hervey told Pincola, "The defendant can address bond at any time during these court proceedings and the court will consider it, but at this point, the court is going to keep the bond as previously recorded."

Hervey then spoke of the next steps: "Mr.

Castro, Mr. Pincola will be given discovery from the State of Ohio. Once he gets the chance to look over the discovery and have a conversation with you, hopefully by the next time you come to court, the prosecutor and your attorney will talk about what possible resolutions there are." From there, Castro will decide whether to submit a plea or move on to trial.

Christina Miller was also on Tuesday's docket and appeared via video from the Stark County Jail. The state previously offered Miller 60 days of local incarceration to address her charges of aggravated possession of drugs.

Miller is currently serving five years probation for other charges and has already spent roughly 37 days in jail since her arrest for the drug charges. Miler was told that if she took the state's offer, she would not have any more probation time added and would receive credit for time served. When asked whether or not she wanted to take the plea bargain, Miller told the court, "I don't want to go to trial."

Miller will finish the remaining sentence, have her license suspended for one year, and pay court fees.

In Ohio v. Allen West, there was an evidentiary hearing to revoke communitybased controls. West was given two options: admit to violating those community-based controls or go forward with a hearing.

The state offered 60 days of local incarceration for admission.

Hanging over West's head was eight months.

If he went to trial to argue the violation and was found guilty, he would likely be sentenced to incarceration for those eight months.

West admitted to violating the court-ordered sanctions.

After Hervey concluded the hearing, sentencing the defendant to 60 days in jail, West asked the court to have some time to get his affairs in order. The community corrections officer told the judge that West — except for his one violation — had been trustworthy and dependable throughout his probation. Hervey decided to give him until the afternoon.

Bowerston to celebrate Memorial Day

Chief probation officer Andrew Foreman (Harrison County Common Pleas Court) will be the keynote speaker at Bowerston's Memorial Day Event on Monday, May 30 (noon).

Bowerston Women's Club — in conjunction with the village of Bowerston — will hold the Memorial Day event at Gateway Memorial Park, at the entrance of Bowerston. Event coordinator Milo Baker is heading up the plans for the day's event.

Troy Akins, DJ from Music du Jour, will kick off the ceremony at 11:45 a.m., playing patriotic tunes, with the service beginning at noon. The Conotton Valley High School Band will be there as a special guest too. Scio American Legion Post 482 will be honoring fallen servicemen and women and Palmer Love from Bowerston.

After graduating from the University of Akron and attending officer's candidate school, Major Andrew Foreman (USMC ret.) was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. Assigned to an assault amphibian vehicle battalion, Foreman saw duty in Okinawa, Japan; Camp Pendleton, California; and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He had multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan before finishing his Marine Corps career as an acquisition and program officer at the assault amphibian vehicle systems branch in Quantico, Virginia. Foreman is the proud father of two Harrison County Huskies: Wyatt (17) and Jillian (15). He currently holds the position of chief probation officer with the Harrison County Common Pleas Court.

All veterans will be honored at the Memorial Day event, and everyone is invited to attend.

Ann’s Advice Dear Ann, I keep getting speeding tickets. I know you’re going to tell me to slow down, but I live in a speed trap and often am on auto-pilot as I drive home from work. I’ve driven the same route for 20 years and have never been in an accident. However, recently my area has become patrolled. I suppose it’s not the cop’s fault, but I am frustrated!

Love, Lead Foot

Prepare for power outages today

Dear Lead Foot!

Yes, it is frustrating when you’ve driven the same path for so many years without incident, and suddenly, you get nailed for speeding. However, regardless of your record, you still have an obligation to obey the law. It may not always be convenient, but the speed limits are there for our protection and the protection of others. We need to be thankful that the officers are watching out for us. It’s just like when you have children. When they disobey, and you have to keep correcting them, most people say, “You knew it was wrong, and you shouldn’t have done it, so here are the consequences.” We, unfortunately, forget all too often that we have consequences too. We don’t always like them, but we have to learn to correct what’s wrong or end up paying lots of money. So I’d probably set an alarm to go off when I hit the spot where the speed goes down to remind me to pay attention.

Sometimes, we just need a reminder to stay focused.

Love, Ann

Adena natives spearhead Helping Heroes move

WHEELING — Moundsville-based Helping Heroes is excited to announce a new project that will expand services to local veterans and restore a vacant, historic property in downtown Wheeling (44 16th Street).

Recently purchased by Helping Heroes, the 80feet, six-story building was built in 1961 at an $800,000 cost. It was designed by Steubenville architect John J. Reitz.

Founded in 2010 by Jeremy Harrison and his wife, Susan, Helping Heroes programs include Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) and Service Intensive Transitional Housing — both funded through the VA, the Emergency Shelter for Veterans, and a veterans food pantry. Information and referral services are also available to help all veteran families connect to the services and benefits they have

earned through their service to our country.

Helping Heroes serves approximately 300 local veterans and family members annually.

The proposed layout for the building includes non-congregate, emergency shelter rooms, transitional housing apartments, education and training facilities, and administrative and program office space.

SSVF assists families in the community as they progress from homelessness to permanent housing and prevents at-risk families from becoming homeless. Transitional Housing provides a safe, free place to live for veterans not yet ready for permanent housing because of complex barriers such as criminal history, chronic unemployment, substance use, and mental health issues. The Emergency Shelter for Veterans is the first and only local shelter

LYME DISEASE From Pg.- 1

Rhome explained that while deer ticks will usually find the host they are looking for in deer or other small animals, they are now — more frequently than ever before — finding human hosts. The tick climbs atop a plant, a leaf, or a blade of grass and starts a process known as "questing," clutching its perch with its lower legs and upper legs outstretched — waiting for an unsuspecting animal or human to pass by.

But if there is no single tick season for deer ticks, why should people be especially cautious now?

Right now, Rhome said, is when the blacklegged deer tick is out and about in its nymph form: the stage after being newly hatched. And these nymphs are so tiny, they are often almost imperceivable to the naked eye. "This is why we talk about this now. The nymphs, just like their adult counterparts, can transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.

These tiny little specks of dust can give you the bacteria in a bite."

The role of public health organizations when it comes to Lyme and other diseases is not so much treatment as it is prevention.

"One thing we've done in the past few years is educate the public," said Rhome. "And we interact with health care providers. We're also helping increase that awareness among doctors and health care providers." Fifteen years ago, if you came in with flu-like symptoms and aching joints, it might have been a while before a provider considered the possibility of Lyme.

Now, providers are more aware and can get out in front of the disease, treating the initial symptoms before it becomes too severe.

While most people think of the famous bullseye rash as the No. 1 symptom of Lyme, Rhome said that not every case of Lyme shows up with the bullseye. "It is a unique symptom, but it does not always occur." Individuals should talk to their provider if they experience

flu-like symptoms, numbness, tingling, or short-term memory loss. "Untreated Lyme can get very serious," said Rhome. "And sometimes it goes undetected or misdiagnosed."

So what if you find a tick on you and remove it? First of all, Rhome said, keep in mind that usually, the tick has to be attached to you for about 24 hours to transmit the bacteria. And if you find a tick, you don't have to burn it off. Use tweezers and gently pull straight up to release the tick. There are even special tickremoval tools out there. Then you need to be watchful for those symptoms for the next month or more.

Another fact Rhome noted is that it is likely that only about 10% of Lyme disease cases are even reported or counted, according to the CDC. Currently, the nation sees about 30,000 cases reported to the CDC each year, but the real number is probably closer to 300,000 because not everyone is treating it or reporting it. "A provider might give you an antibiotic, you feel better, [and] nothing gets tallied." But it's important to report when possible because it helps local health departments monitor trends, educate the community, and access funding.

Rhome also said people need to remember to check their pets for ticks as well.

For more information, graphs, and images of the blacklegged deer tick, those interested in learning more should go to the Health Department's Facebook page, Rhome said.

As for the future of Lyme in Harrison County and elsewhere, Rhome said there was a vaccine in the past, though it was not very effective. But maybe there could be a vaccine again — a better one.

But in the meantime, Harrison County is in the new frontier for the deer tick, and the population needs to know how to protect itself.

dedicated to serving “literally unsheltered” veterans living on the streets, in camps, and under bridges.

“This is a really architecturally unique building in the downtown area, and we are glad that saving it can also provide a longterm home for our organization,” said R.J. Konkoleski, chief executive officer. “The exterior of the building will be restored, and the overall mid-century modern aesthetic will be unchanged. The art tile mosaic will be preserved as well.”

In addition to current programs, the new location will allow for two new initiatives to increase the agency’s connection in the community. Those programs include a new

resale shop and a coffee shop. “Our resale shop will provide employment skills and income for the veterans we serve, as well as an avenue for the community to support our mission through their donations,” Konkoleski said.

“The resale shop will also create a constant inventory of items that we can give to our clients as they move from homelessness to their own permanent housing.” The coffee shop has been a part of the organization’s plan since the beginning. “It’s always been a dream to have a space where veterans can come and get a warm cup of coffee, share some friendly conversation, and to simply enjoy company,” said co-founder Jeremy Harrison. “This building will give us the perfect place to make it a reality.”

COMMISSIONERS From Pg.- 1

Basally, the primary detour and the three localized reroutes were set by ODOT for that 100-day estimated span of the work, however, Resolution 24-22 enacted the Ohio Revised Code to create a petition for an additional, fourth local detour for the project. This option is permissible through the Revised Code by legislative authority. Therefore, the resolution was a commissioners' request to feature "approximately 6.0 miles of Moravian Trail Road (Harrison County Road 2), 0.7 miles of Main Street in Deersville, and 0.1 miles of Deersville Ridge Road (Harrison County Road 2) from the intersection of Plum Run Road (Harrison County Road 8) and Moravian Trail Road (Harrison County Road 2) to the entrance to Tappan Lake Park" as the fourth local option for detouring drivers. In addition to the Harrison County commissioners, the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, too, has played its own role in spearheading the addition of the fourth auxiliary detour route as an alternative to getting into Tappan Lake Park.

In suit with the detour request, the session's final resolution also insisted that ODOT "be responsible for additional maintenance and repair on these roads due to increased traffic during the closure of U.S. Route 250."

After the due diligence of the three new resolutions, the commissioners approved a couple of fund appropriations for the Sheriff's Office and the County Court before moving into the agreements; the first of Wednesday's quartet focused on roadway usage and maintenance. Agreement 18-22 was entered into by the county commissioners and Apex Envrionmental LLC for its landfill facility. As the operator of the landfill, Apex requested an intended continuation of road usage in German Township. Via the resolution, Apex "intends to use 1.14 miles of County Road 51 (Amsterdam Road) for the purpose of ingress to and egress from the Apex Facility, for traffic necessary for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and customer access to the Apex Facility [landfill]."

As is custom with many roadway agreements, the operators are on the hook for providing for any road or bridge repair and maintenance.

Agreement 19-22 was the second of the four agreements for the day and also revolved around roadway usage. However, the road permissions ORK VALLEY MET NGF ALS I N DI Metal Roofing & Siding COMMERCIAL - RESIDENTIAL - AGRICULTURAL

were granted to EAP Ohio LLC for horizontal drilling. EAP requested the use of "several county roads within Nottingham Township, Harrison County," and, much like the first agreement, requires that the oil and gas group keeps the infrastructure in good shape. As the operator of a leasehold, EAP intends to use the roads to transport their equipment, facilities, impoundments, and pipelines necessary for operations, aka normal activities for an "oil and gas development site." Specifically, EAP asked for permissions on 2.5 miles of County Road 60 (Redeye Road), 1.9 miles of County Road 54 (Minksville Road), and 0.6 miles of County Road 1 (Brushy Fork Road).

Agreement 20-22, in short, was a "standard form of agreement" between the owner and architect stakeholders of the county's new jailhouse. In this instance, Harrison County is the owner (with the commissioners acting as that authority), and Wachtel & McAnally Architects/Planners Inc. out of Newark, Ohio is the architect. Wachtel & McAnally is the body contracted to "provide the architectural [and] engineering services for the proposed full-service jail addition to the existing Sheriff's Office [armory building]." While not a complete comprehensive analysis, Wachtel & McAnally intend to do the following services for the jail addition project: schematic design and design development, selection of construction manager, preparation of construction documents, handling of construction bids, construction administration, shop drawing review, management of change orders and pay requests, and field observation (among others unlisted).

The fourth and final agreement on the day was Agreement 21-22. After months of preparation by many Harrison County villages, the commissioners have applied for funding for five highlighted areas within the county: Jewett Elementary School (117 W. Main St. in Jewett, Ohio), R&R Gas (318 Center Unity Rd. in Jewett, Ohio), the old Cadiz post office (100 E. South St. in Cadiz, Ohio), the old Cadiz bank building (West Market Street in Cadiz, Ohio), and the old Hidy's Service Station (State Route 151 in Scio, Ohio).

The five areas were submitted for the Brownfield Assessment and Remediation program. As part of the state's brownfield campaign, Harrison County has been allotted $1 million to address dilapidated properties.

The similar Demolition and Site Revitalization Program brought in $500,000 to destroy nuisance properties throughout the county.

"The Board of Commissioners are always supportive of projects that promote health, wellness, economic development," the resolution read. As with the resolutions and the first three agreements, 21-22 was passed by the three commissioners, which concluded the heavy lifting of Wednesday's meeting.

Local Lions visit Wooster

BY ESTHER MCCOY Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer WOOSTER — District Governor Deb Mosier gave the call to order, and the District 13 OH3 Convention session began with about 100 Lions from around the district, with a roll call by past district governor Rob Murray (formerly of Cadiz). As the Lions Club's Greystone Event Center event got underway, a parade of checks was accepted by the chairmen: Lions Foundation, Eye Research Foundation, Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Sight and Hearing, Akron Children's Hospital, and many other groups that aid in healing, hearing, and health causes.

A get-acquainted dinner was held with JC Anderson, a Norwegian-American music artist who moved from Stavanger, Norway, to central Florida and then Nashville. He has been on the road touring with bandmates and opened for artists such as Keith Urban, LeAnn Rimes, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, and Trace Adkins.

Saturday morning began with a business meeting, election of officers, and the grand parade of checks. James M. Ross of Quitaque, Texas, past international president, made the acquaintance of those in attendance and helped with the presentation of awards. He served as the 2006–07 president of the International Association of Lions Clubs and has been a Lions member since 1969, holding many offices and participating in eyeglass recycling missions to South America.

Deb Mosier relinquished her role as district governor for Ohio 3. In the past, she has held several offices, including president, membership

chair, newsletter editor, zone chairperson, and region chairperson.

Earl Kerr, first vice district governor, was the first president of the Doylestown LEO Club in 1969; he became Lions International president and was a distinguished graduate of the Air Force ROTC. He has been active in Lions for 28 years and has held many offices. He was elected as the new district governor.

Becky Thornton was serving as second vice director governor and was elected into the first vice district governor position. She has been awarded the Dick Bryan Fellow and Betty Coffey Fellow and was the Zone Lion of the Year in 2020.

The awards and years in service for the Lions Clubs were presented, and John Parkinson of the Adena Lions Club will be given an 80-year club member award at a future meeting. He has been the announcer for the Adena Musical presentation held for the past 69 years — with this year being the 70th.

A necrological memorial service was held to conclude the three-day event. Mosier gave the welcome, stating that the program was for remembering members who had passed on. As pictures and names were presented on the screen, Kerr lit luminary candles on the plaques. District chaplain Rich Cole gave opening and closing prayers, read Psalms 23, and led the group singing in "Amazing Grace." One former member is Charles Bain of the Brilliant Lions Club. He served as Santa Claus for the club, village, schools, and other community events for many years. His wife joined him on the visits.

CV Garden Club cleans up bike trail

Seventeen members from the Conotton Valley Garden Club recently spent a day working on the Conotton Creek Bike Trail.

Weeding, pruning, and mulching were done in several areas in anticipation of a beautiful new year blooming plants and shrubs. In particular, a monarch butterfly station was created by the club. Specific plantings attract and provide for the needs of monarchs throughout their life cycle, whether it's laying eggs, hosting larvae, or feeding the adults before migrating south in the fall. The Garden Club has 27 members, and they annually provide an educational program to Conotton Valley fourth-graders on how to make terrariums. The club also annually makes flower arrangements for local nursing home residents. Meetings are held

monthly between March and October at noon at the Bowerston United Methodist Church.

They enjoy special speakers and tours of area gardens. Anyone is welcome to join. For more information, please feel free to contact Jennifer Love, club president, at 740-269-9231.

Hello, Greetings sent to all who read. Did everyone enjoy this warm weather as much as we did? The children sure had fun.

Everything is getting green again. Some flowers and fruit trees are blooming.

We’ve mowed the yard a couple of times now, and I’m about ready to plant in the garden. Last week we planted around 25 raspberry plants.

We were at Andrew’s mom’s for the evening; she had some other visitors too. We all miss our dear dad and grandfather.

On Thursday, mom and some of us sisters have plans to go to my sister’s house to help her with some cleaning.

I’m also working on trying to start with my spring cleaning. I was cleaning out drawers today and have some painting to do this spring yet.

The news around here is that sister Clara and Robert and family were blessed with a baby boy named Nathan on April 25. So we have plans to go see him tomorrow — some excited children!

You all have a good week!

Good NEWS

What’s in a Word?

By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches PastorKenStaley@gmail.com OK, class, today our vocabulary word is “progressive.” Who can tell me the root word of progressive? That’s right; it’s “progress.” So then, we can assume that anything called progressive is making progress — or positive changes. If only that were true.

Last week I read an interview with a progressive theologian who is the president of a so-called Christian theological seminary in New York state. Among her beliefs — and what she is teaching to the young souls enrolled — there are problems with a God who crucifies his own kid (in her words), the virgin birth, the physical resurrection of Jesus, and more. She believes the crucifixion was not orchestrated from above, and if it was, it amounts to nothing more than divine child abuse. “The idea of an abusive father in heaven who sends his own kid to the cross so he could forgive people is nuts.” She said that anyone who claims to know what happened after the crucifixion is “just kidding themselves.”

The empty tomb,” she says, “symbolizes the ultimate love in our lives that cannot be crucified and killed.” That’s all — just love, no physical resurrection. Yet Jesus told the disciples after he was raised, “Touch my hands and my feet, thrust your hand into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

This is the same Bible and the same Jesus that progressives love to quote when the scripture says, “Judge not lest you be judged.” But the Bible isn’t like going to Melhman’s Cafeteria. You don’t get to pick only the pie and the cornbread; you have to take the broiled fish and broccoli too. The Bible is a no-substitute menu. “For me,” says the seminary president, “the cross is an enactment of our human hatred.” Did you catch that? “For me.” So we all just get to invent our own belief system? If only this were an isolated case of one president of one seminary, but it’s not. It is pervasive in many — dare I say — the majority of seminaries across America. The Bible says if you don’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus, you are not justified or saved. It is a foundational truth. Is it any mystery why denominational churches are shrinking in membership and independent start-up churches are thriving? People whose lives are upside down and are searching for absolute truth don’t want a faith like the professors that says, “God is beyond our knowing. I don’t worship an all-powerful, all-controlling being.” Jesus said, “When you have seen me, you have seen the Father.”

God is not beyond knowing. He is holy, forgiving to the repentant, and overflowing with grace. When we know Jesus, we know God. Now that’s progressive!

Adena Lions Club eyeing 70th annual show

ADENA — The Adena Lions Club Show, "Lion Eyes," will be held on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. in Adena's Buckeye West Elementary; the show is returning after being postponed since 2020.

The Adena Lions Show is their biggest fundraiser. Through the generosity of program book sponsors and show raffle ticket sales, the club has netted over $100,000 from the last 12 Adena Lions Shows. With these donations, the Adena Lions can provide service to our local community through various service projects like purchasing eyeglasses, assisting local food pantries, and sponsoring an annual summer reading program (to name a few).

Through their membership with Lions Club International, the club extends its service globally to help provide natural disaster relief, fund measles shots, support eye research, and more.

Show producers and club members Laura Konkoleski and Marty Packer say the show's theme is vision, one of the many causes for which Lions Clubs International is known.

The show's featured performers include JoAnn Connor, Lauren Florence, Wally Jancura, Pam Kinsey, Julie Packer, Marty Packer, Dan Smallwood, Ken Staley, Karl Bowers, Dennis Kinsey, R.J. Konkoleski, Bill Ralston, Dean Rutan, and Rob Whinnery.

John Parkinson, who has been in almost all the shows, is returning to his role as interlocutor and guide for the evening.

Dustin Kinsey, the director, leads the house

band along with Kipp Bowers, Bob Campbell, and Ken Staley. Kinsey said, "This year's show has literally been three years in the making since we were not able to have a show the last two years. I can't wait to strike that first chord on the keyboard to kick off show number 70!

I hope everyone reading this will make plans to be in our audience. It is going to be a great show!"

Tickets for the April 29–30 show can be purchased at the door: $10 for adults, $5.00 for students, and free for children under five.

The club is also selling chances on two instant lottery ticket boards. Each board has $200 worth of tickets, and a winner will be drawn each night of the show.

"In addition to some great music, we have some outstanding comedy," stated Kinsey. "My dad, Dennis, has performed comedy in every Adena Lions Show since the late 1970s and will no doubt have another crazy skit again this year. Rob Whinnery and Wally Jancura are planning an eye-doctor sketch that is sure to please the audience. And wait until you see the 'Cotton-Eyed Joe' number!"

The Adena Lions Club is a group of men and women who identify needs within the community and work together to fulfill those needs.

Adena baker making ‘killer’ cakes

BY JULIE MARSHALL Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

Melissa Simeral, the self-taught cake artist and owner of 3-D Cakery, designs custom cakes and sweets at her bakery in the Adena– Harrisville area. She started 12 years ago decorating goodies for her friends, family, and coworkers as a fun hobby in her spare time, but her passion for baking and decorating soon led her to quit her day job and work full-time out of her home. Because her business continued to grow, she moved her bakery out of her house and into a little shop in Harrisville, where she worked for 10 years.

But just a year ago, Simeral built her own dream bakery shop, which she affectionately calls "her happy place" and spends up to 60 hours per week designing cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and pies of all shapes and sizes.

Simeral loves a challenge and has created wedding, birthday, and specialty cakes like Army tanks, boats, tractors, and Disney characters — and that's just a

The garden club also ordered a plaque in memory of Herman Neimayer for his

The next meeting will be on May 25 at the Scio community park to discuss the upcoming flower exhibit at the Scio Street Fair. The public is always invited to attend.

PUBLIC RECORD CADIZ POLICE DEPARTMENT Accidents A vehicle parked in the Harrison County Jail parking lot was struck by an unknown person.

A witness told police he saw a silver SUV back into the victim’s vehicle several times before fleeing.

A caller reported to police that he believed a truck driving down the road tore down a telephone line, ripping out the box mounted to his home.

Incident Reports A man driving a blue Oldsmobile was pulled over for not having a license plate displayed.

It was then discovered that the driver had a suspended license. Investigating officers also found a small bag of what they thought was marijuana. At that point, the driver became upset, yelling and asking the officers, “Are you going to shoot me? Just [expletive] shoot me.”

Harrison County Jail had no room for him, so officers took the man home and impounded his vehicle.

On the corner of East Market Street and South Main Street, officers found trash cans flipped over and litter strewn all over the place. Some trash cans seemed to be from other streets.

They found the man responsible and charged him with criminal mischief and littering.

Harrison advances to OVAC finals

BY D.J. WATSON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

CADIZ — For what felt like the first time this season, the Harrison Central baseball team took the field in warm weather conditions last Saturday at Sally Buffalo Park. As the sun splashed down on the turf at Mazeroski Field, a ticket to the OVAC 4A Championship served as the reward to the victors.

What transpired was a 12-strikeout, complete-game shutout off the arm of Harrison Central junior Tre Rex, as he powered his team to a 1-0 victory over the school's top rival in the St. Clairsville Red Devils. A solid and well-balanced defensive effort helped stymie the Red Devils' bats for a majority of the day. The visiting Belmont County unit was opportunistic at the dish, stranding multiple baserunners in four different innings, but the "bend don't break" mentality eventually prevailed in the low-scoring affair for the Huskies (11-5).

The semifinal matchup boiled down to a true pitcher's duel, with St. Clairsville getting a valiant effort from the bump as well. Red Devil pitcher Hunter Hoffman fanned five, walked only one, and surrendered just three hits. Nevertheless, three hits are all head coach Mike Valesko needed to guide his squad into the crowning round.

In the bottom of the second inning, Valesko dialed up the small ball, taking advantage of

a lead-off free pass that put Kaden Jurosko on the bags. Helping his own cause, Rex then came to the plate and laid down a calculated bunt to the left side of the infield. With Jurosko advancing to second on the sacrifice, it was up to Huskies first baseman Cabot Arbaugh to butter the bread. Arbaugh didn't disappoint, lining a single into left field that scored Jurosko from second base. In those early stages of the game, it would've been hard to predict that Arbaugh's RBI-single would provide the game's only run, but sometimes one is all you need. A prediction of a one-run game seemed hard to imagine for much of the afternoon, as the Red Devils left 11 runners hanging in total on the day. In comparison, the Huskies missed pay dirt on four different occasions.

Rex's performance was nothing short of pressure-packed. Even though he delivered a shutout, he found himself in a host of highimpact situations. In the opening frame, he worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam by nailing down two strikeouts to get out of the inning unscathed. Again in the third, fifth, and sixth — with multiple runners on the paths — Rex forced the Red Devil bats into manageable plays for his defense. Jonathan Vermillion and Treston Nemeth accounted for Harrison's other two hits, with a pair of singles.

Harrison's last appearance in the OVAC title game came back in 2015, with St. Clairsville claiming the banner. In this year's edition, the Huskies will see the top-seeded Cambridge

Bobcats on Friday, April 29. While the Bobcats (defeated Indian Creek in the other semifinal) were not on the regular-season schedule, the Huskies will still get a two-game series with the Guernsey County outfit. The Huskies and Bobcats will meet in both the OVAC and Buckeye 8 Championship games. The Buckeye 8 Championship will be played in Cadiz this coming Friday, May 6.

Mizer becomes OSU cheering president

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer COLUMBUS — Harrison Central has had many success stories over the years; while some are more broadly achieved than others, the level of success lies at the feet of the seeker.

One of the most recognized success stories coming out of Harrison Central is the story of Kenna Mizer. Mizer had a complete (biddy through high school) cheering history with the Huskies. In fact, she began her desire to become a cheerleader at the age of three. It was then that she expressed the desire when she received her first set of pompoms from her mother.

CV names new girls’ basketball coach

BY JACQUIE HUMPHREY Harrison News-Herald Correspondent BOWERSTON — Joe Stephens was recently approved as the next Conotton Valley head girls basketball coach.

Stephens graduated from Malvern High School and has a bachelor's degree from Malone University. He has been married to his lovely wife, Michelle, for over 30 years, and they reside in Perry Township. They have three adult children: Ryan, Jenae, and Tiffany.

From CHEER Pg.- 8

Her first opportunity to realize her dream came when she was in the third grade when she finally got a chance to cheer. She became a cheerleader for the third- through sixthgrade biddy football Cardinals. Back then, if anyone had asked her what her favorite part of cheering was, she would have said it was the halftime show. It was then that she and her fellow cheerleaders got to put on a show for the crowds. Also, for Mizer, while she was cheering, she was participating in tumbling and dance lessons. The dream to become better in both cheering and dance was born with all the activities.

Then, she went on to try out for the junior high cheerleading squads. She cheered for football, basketball, and the competition squad (her personal favorite). With the junior high competition squads, she was fortunate enough to become a part of the "Fab Five" of Harrison Central. The team won several trophies and banners and ended their season with a trip to Virginia Beach; they returned as division grand champions of the U.S. Finals. With that, they received the famous white jackets and rings, along with their huge trophy and banner.

Next, Mizer tried out for the varsity cheering teams during her freshman year — from there, she never looked back. She worked to earn a spot on the varsity competition team and continued learning new tumbling skills; she made the varsity squad all four years of high school. She was part of the team that earned second place at the OVAC cheer competition back-to-back years, the best finish to date for Harrison Central.

Another success story for Mizer came when she was named the co-captain of the team that received second place at the state's cheer competition in Columbus; it was the best finish in Harrison Central history.

t mp Pro ice! v Ser

Stephens has over 30 years of basketball coaching experience and has assisted in coaching girls basketball at the varsity level at Canton McKinley and Glen Oak. He also coached at Perry at the junior high and freshmen levels and was youth basketball director at Glen Oak and Perry. For 15 years, he has been the director of Trinity Dream Center, implementing programs for adults and youth. In addition, he has coached AAU basketball for over 30 years and has developed

boys and girls in his own AAU program with multiple teams.

Interim athletic director Jonathon Stuck stated, "I am excited to have Joe Stephens as part of the Rocket family. Joe has a passion for education-based athletics. His educational and coaching philosophies will guide him to make a positive impact on our student-athletes.

Our program is in great hands, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for the CV girls' basketball program."

Mizer graduated from Harrison Central in 2020, however, her cheer career didn't end there — and it still hasn't. She chose The Ohio State University to further her education, and there she tried out for and was successful in becoming part of the all-girl competition team.

Due to COVID-19, the competition team couldn't compete in 2021, but that didn't deter Mizer. She continued to work out and finetune her tumbling. But last fall, she was elected as vice president of the team, and they finally got their chance to start practicing. COVID continued to be an issue, but the team still found a way to make it work.

Unfortunately, an ankle injury in September 2021 sidelined Mizer for a couple of months, and she feared she might not be able to compete with the team at nationals.

But instead, she worked hard to overcome her injury and was able to make the mat. There were many long and hard practices during January, February, and March 2022. It meant changing the routine, only to change it again the next practice. It brought lots of tears, but it also brought the team closer together.

And at the end of March, Mizer and The Ohio State cheerleaders took the floor at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania — the team walked away as grand champions. It also set the stage for the team to travel to the NCAA college nationals in Daytona Beach, Florida.

That competition is a twoday competition where teams have performances for each day. Both of those

performances get computed when tallying each team's final score. Kenna and The Ohio State girls finished in fifth place out of the 20 teams in their division. Next year, though, Kizer will be president of the team, and she and her team are already preparing.

"This has been a great opportunity to represent the Buckeyes," Mizer said. "It is an amazing feeling being part of The Ohio State all-girl cheer team. I feel so honored to be able to represent Husky Nation at the college level.

I am so incredibly proud of this group of girls and all we have overcome.

"I am looking forward to next year and seeing what my team can accomplish. I would like to thank Sunnie Ruble, Karli Ray, Bailie Ray, Tammy Gross, and my former teammates for my time at Harrison Central for always pushing me to be my best," Mizer concluded.

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. So, if you would like to show how proud you are of your hometown hero (or yourself), start looking for a service photo (preferred), branch of service, and the years served. We plan to have the banners hung by Memorial Day! We will be able to put up to three veterans per banner. Forms are NOW available on the Holloway Volunteer FD Activities Committee Facebook page or at the fish fry on May 6. There are forms in the library box at the Holloway VFD activity building as well. They want to get these up by Memorial Day weekend.

Attention 2022 graduates: Per Mayor Sheperd, see Heidi at the village office with information and a picture of the graduate for banners to be made and displayed in the Old Timers area. It’s a great way to recognize our graduates. They were really nice last year.

Keeping the grass cut and doing upkeep on the buildings is something they need help with year-round, so they need residents that can help. Please contact them via message on the Holloway Old Timers Facebook page, and someone will get back to you asap.

On April 26, I had an opportunity to get together will ladies from the Bellaire area who I had the pleasure of working with at Ohio Power. We were at Applebee’s in St. Clairsville.

This wonderful lady stopped at our table to tell us how infectious our laughter was. She told us she would be 90 in June and was a retired beautician. We asked her where she was from, and she said this little town that you probably never heard of. When she said Holloway, all of the ladies pointed at me and said, “That is where she is from!” She had been married to Stanley Cropp (her name is Jackie), and they lived on Reddington Hill (she now lives in St. C) and bought their house from Olive Cast.

Talking with her and her friend Bill Rupp was so enjoyable. I hope you have a great birthday, Jackie.

In case you were like me and wondering what Cinco de Mayo is all about, I headed over to the History Channel to find out.

Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day, a popular misconception. Instead, it commemorates a single battle. Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. The day, which falls on Thursday, May 5 in 2022, is also known as Battle of Puebla Day. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Check out history.com to read more. Hope you all have a great week. Don’t forget to send me news to share at hopedalenews@yahoo.com.
