Scio warns ‘frequent fliers’on new late-payment policy

US

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

Jay Kolenc of the Jefferson County Veterans Association gets ready to advise on the raising of the gigantic American flag over Friendship Park during the 152nd Jefferson County Fair. Flags of all branches of service are raised by the veterans. The Veterans Wall is visited by many who have enscribed the names of their relatives on the bricks that constitute over 600 memorial markers, bringing the memory of them into the present. The memorial park has a tank from World War II, two airplanes, one with two new propellors due to vandalism that occurred in the spring. Many members of the JCVA attend to help raise the gigantic flag that flies over the fairgrounds for the fair and any programs going on there.

The responsibility of the water bill technically falls to the landlord, and it is their job to pass on that information to tenants or to pay it themselves, depending on the lease agreement. Up to this point, the village has allowed many courtesies to area landlords, including sending out bills to all tenants and the landlord themselves, which takes time and money from the village. Mayor Michelle Carpenter voiced her frustration, “The landlord stuff is all written in [the ordinances]. It’s one of those things that we’ve always done it, and it’s just a Thecourtesy.”councildiscussed when it’s appropriate to shut off water on unpaid accounts. Right now, residents are given nearly a month after being served notice to pay their past due bills. Unfortunately, this often causes the bill to increase significantly because it ends up adding in the next month’s bill into past due as well, which can result in bills above $300. “It compounds,” Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh said. “Giving them that extra month just seems redundant.” While the council did not decide immediately on changing water billing ordinances, they are preparing to shorten notice times and enforce shut-offs for non-payment. The frustration among members was palpable as they talked about how much time and money it costs to send notices to 40-50 residents every month.

SCIO—The Scio Village Council met on Wednesday, August 24. The meeting started with Clerk-Treasurer Heide Trice going over a short list of smaller items. She had discussed insurance options for volunteers and discovered that all volunteers should be covered under their existing insurance as long as it is known that the person is volunteering. Since they recently hired a new employee, the council voted to add a new phone line so he can have a cell phone, and they voted to allow him to spend the employee clothing allowance earlier than precedent due to changing seasons. Greg Burgess visited the meeting on behalf of the Harrison County Youth Soccer League. Burgess is the coach for the Junior High League and wanted to ask the council for permission to use the football field for practice. The council debated paperwork but eventually voted to allow the usage of the field. Burgess thanked the council and left. Income Tax Administrator Janeen Scott made sure to share that the village is offering a new way to pay water bills: online through PayStar. Residents only need to visit the village website villageofscio.com, click the “Residents” tab, and select “Payment Options” to make paymentsNon-paymentonline. of water bills has been an ongoing issue for the village. Council member Carol Davy briefly talked about a recent discussion the water committee had about ways to encourage residents to pay their bills. The committee didn’t make any concrete decisions as they wanted input from the whole council, “We’re looking at seeing what the discussion is and what we can do,” Davy said. She explained that putting up late notices and sending out multiple bills to residents and landlords has become a burden. There are many people with past due bills who are considered “frequent fliers” by members of the council. “It’s the same customers over and over again,” Davy said. “It’s not somebody that has a tragedy in the family or had something unexpected happen.”

CADIZ—After Dana Snider’s recent retirement, Duran Morgan stepped up to fill the Superintendent role at Harrison Hills Central Jr./Sr. High School. Morgan began his career as a teacher, working his way up to Dean of Students and then to a High School Principal position before settling into Assistant Superintendent for the last nine years. Morgan grew up in Cadiz and graduated from Cadiz High School. “I’m from the community, and to be able to go through that and then experience it from the other side as the superintendent and leader of the school system is very humbling,” Morgan said. He attended Kent State University before getting a Master’s degree in School Administration from Salem University. He’s now working his way through additional coursework. The education may result in more advanced degrees, but for Morgan, it’s about staying “on top of what is cutting edge in education and research-based practice.”TheSuperintendent is responsible for working with administrators and support staff to create an environment for students to learn. The Superintendent is “The chief officer,” Morgan said. “On the academic end, some visionary planning… designing the academic program for our students from top to bottom.” This year, exciting changes are coming to the school. “We’re serving our special education population a little differently this year,” Morgan said. The school is adding a dedicated administrator to oversee special education, focusing on helping their students on the autism spectrum. The intervention specialist is also heading an autism team. Looking at student data and success will be an integral part of everything the school does this year. Morgan wants to keep the support of the community forefront of everyone’s minds. “Trying to find ways to support specifically our kids, our families… make sure everybody in [those] groups feels supported.” He wants to ensure that “our message is communicated well to the parents and community. And then specifically that we’re good listeners also, in trying to make sure we have good two-way communication so that we have authentic feedback from our community and from our parents. All that is taken into consideration as we design our programs.” Morgan is dedicated to the community of Cadiz, and the school is at the heart of that community. “I have a family of about 1600 kids,” Morgan laughed. He clearly admires and appreciates the proactive nature of so many of the students and youth in the area. He worked closely with Youth Education Success (YES!) on the bond issue for the new school building a few years ago and saw firsthand how the students cared for not just each other but future students as well. “I am super thankful for every opportunity that they’ve given our kids and then, in turn, me,” Morgan said. He also wanted to thank the board of education for selecting him for the role of Superintendent. The experience as Assistant Superintendent gave him the experience he needed, but it was still the board’s decision to put their trust in Morgan as he moved into the role. With school just begun, Morgan said, “We’re excited for the start of the school year. We look forward to reaching out to our school community, our students, and our parents and enhancing the way that we can support them. Making sure their children can have a wellrounded experience and education.” phase of 250 project begins

CADIZ—There have been rumors circulating about the status of the County CIC and the potential power plant. Dale Arbaugh, CIC president, helped dispel these rumors. “We’re still functioning and working. Nick [Homrighausen] is working on quite a few projects at this time,” he said. “I’ve heard the rumors from others, and I’m not sure where it originated, but it’s incorrect. We are still receiving regular email communication and our monthly deposits from them. They are holding up their end of the bargain as far as we know, and I’ll stand by the fact that the project is ongoing.”

Serving notice earlier would alleviate the cost on the village and keep residents from racking up an excessively high bill. “Anybody can miss a bill,” Council Member Trish Copeland said. “Anybody can hit “Thensituations.”call!” Trubaugh said. If you regularly pay your water bill and miss a month due to extenuating circumstances, please call the village to discuss options. With online bill pay available now, residents have no excuses to pay their bill on time.

CADIZ—The Harrison County Humane Society (HCHS) has existed for many years but caught a second wind in 2017 and has been working hard to gather more support since then. A common misconception among the public is that the HCHS is the same entity as the County Dog Pound. HCHS Recording Secretary and TNR Chairperson Lori Mayher explained, “We are a separate organization that employs a humane agent who goes on calls where animals are not in humane situations, are neglected or abused. The humane agent goes out on calls when reported and evaluates the conditions of the animal according to the Ohio Revised Code. If an animal is in dire need and risks serious health issues or death, the agent will get the necessary documents from the courthouse to seize the animal(s).”

Harrison County, but for now, they rely on the generosity of their fosters and volunteers to get animals off the streets. Despite the struggles they face, members of the HCHS have been able to do several events this year. They held a car show at Tractor Supply, hosted a yard sale in Hopedale, made a display for the Harrison County Fair, and participated in the Scio parade. Now they are planning an event for this fall to take pictures of community pets that they will use to make a calendar for next year.

He had a whole filing cabinet downstairs full of pictures.” That photographer was Charles Shumard. “Most of them are from the photographer that Shumard bought out,” Hobbs said. That photographer was named Voshall; he had a studio in Cadiz on South Main St. When Shumard bought out Voshall, many of Voshall’s printed photos ended up in the filing cabinet in the basement of what would eventually become Hobbs’ home. “He still had pictures that had never been picked up,” Hobbs said. These pictures sat collecting dust until Hobbs pulled them out to look at them. She reached out to the library and several area businesses in an effort to find the owners or their descendants. Shumard took many pictures for school yearbooks and events. These pictures were taken to the Puskarich Public Library and scanned into The Digital Shoebox Project, which is free to access online at www.digitalshoebox.org for anyone wanting to see a bit of history. But many photos were personal prints. “There’s a lot of baby pictures,” Hobbs said. There are also pictures of couples, portraits, photo proofs, and young children. They all sit in paper folders, waiting to be picked up by their families who never came decades ago. Some of the folders have names on them. “I have a list of the names,” Hobbs said. “For the most part. Some of the spellings are kind of iffy” since most were written in sloping cursive in pencil that has been worn down over the years. The photos date from 1960 to the early 1970s, but few are outside that range. When Hobbs’ youngest daughter graduated from Harrison Central, she suggested doing her senior project on the old photos. They laid out thousands of photographs in the old school building and invited the community to browse and pick them up if they knew who was in them. This helped hundreds of pictures find homes, but Hobbs still has 30-40 unclaimed folders and several boxes of photo proofs. She also has many of the original school pictures that were scanned into the Shoebox Project. After the senior project, Hobbs continued opening her home to those wanting to look through the pictures. “I’ve had people do it before, and we’ve had funny stories. Like the lady who found out a relative of hers, who she knew never got married, had wedding pictures,” Hobbs said. But there are also heartwarming stories like a woman who found pictures of her daughter who had passed away or a man finding the only existing pictures of hisIfgrandparents.youwantto look through the photos, please email dnrhobbs@gmail.com to set up a date/time. If you send in family names, Hobbs can look through her list to see if she has anything before you stop by.

“Right now, our focus is going on calls, and getting animals spayed and neutered, mostly cats,” Mayher said. She also mentioned helping the community understand that they currently don’t have a building to house animals. They are actively looking for a location to renovate into a shelter, but it’s a slow process, and one member has been working hard on securing grants to cover costs. Once there is a building, it will be necessary to have more volunteers to staff it. If you would like more information on the Harrison County Humane Society, you can find them online at www.facebook.com/ HarCoHumane or fill out applications for fostering or becoming a member. The public meetings are held every 4th Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. in the Cadiz EMS building.

There is one agent for all of Harrison County, and last year they fielded around 102 calls, which are just the initial calls. After the first evaluation, the agent needs to follow up on the situation, contact other authorities if necessary, and then continue an investigation if it’s needed. For this role of serving the community, the agent earns $200 a month. Beyond calls, the HCHS is also active in helping with other animal issues. Stray/ feral cats are an obvious problem in Harrison County. While adorable, cats can cause problems if left unchecked, just like any other animal. The HCHS is working to maintain a Trap Neuter Return program. This kind of program humanely traps stray/feral animals, brings them to a licensed veterinarian to be spayed/neutered and given vaccinations, then releases them back where they were originally picked up. This method can greatly reduce the number of feral animals by stopping them from reproducing. Last year, the HCHS spayed/ neutered over 300 animals. They will also help cover costs for anyone getting a pet/stray/ feral animal spayed/neutered. “We pay $30 per animal if a Harrison resident uses a local vet,” Mayher said. They will also pay a onetime amount of $50 for qualifying residents for spaying/neutering with Alterclinic, a clinic that comes from Canton monthly. The HCHS wants to do what’s best not only for the county's animals but also what will be best for the community. But they can’t do that without help. Free ways to help include volunteering, attending HCHS public meetings once a month, and using AmazonSmile while shopping to donate without spending a dime! Other ways include becoming a member, which costs just $10 a year for a single person or $15 for your whole family. To become a member, fill out a membership form

ADENA—Adena Mayor Brenda Roski has rescheduled the Village Council meeting three times this month due to members having various emergencies and illnesses, making them unable to attend. To hold a council meeting, a minimum number of members must be in attendance to make decisions. This is known as a quorum and prevents power overreach by ensuring a representative number of members make decisions for the community. Because there was no quorum for this meeting, the council members that did attend were unable to take official action but did stay and conduct discussions on different topics. Roski announced that there was a bid to demolish the old schoolhouse and that anyone with property stored in the old building needed to move it soon. Various organizations in the area have used the building for storage. She also mentioned that lighting and wiring at Bedway Park has been completed. She has applied for $15,000 from the county commissioners to make the Adena village mayor’s office handicap accessible. A brief discussion of two roads in desperate need of repair began with Roski explaining the problem, explaining that erosion has been a big problem on one of the roads. “[It’s] eaten away at the property, and the road’s leaning the wrong way,” Roski said. “That hill going into Galagher, we’re losing it. We don’t have the equipment, nor do we have the manpower to fix it.” She said she’d gotten a bid on the project, which was for over $200,000. “We have time to apply to OPWC,” Fiscal Officer Denise Genangel pointed out, referring to grant money sometimes made available to counties by the Ohio Public Works Commission. Roski said that would be a good avenue to pursue. The council discussed when to hold Adena’s trick or treating. The decision does not need a formal vote, as it’s the mayor’s job to decide when to have the event. With input from the attending council members, Roski decided Trick-or-Treat will be held on Halloween, which falls on a Monday this year, from 6 pm to 8 pm.

Adena Depot circa early 1900’s. By Susan Adams In 1901, the Adena Railroad bought the Bellaire and Valley Junction Railway, a proposed twenty-mile line extending from Adena south to Neffs, OH. The Wheeling & Lake Erie, through Adena, completed this line and placed it in operation on February 1, 1903. The Adena, Cadiz & New Athens Railway was formed in 1914 to connect Adena to Duncanwood to serve the Short Creek Coal Company. The six-mile line was opened in November 1917. Shortly after, the railroad was acquired by the W&LE. On July 1, 1999, the W&LE filed a notice to abandon 18 miles of its Valley Line, from Milepost 188 1/2 near Unionvale to milepost 205 1/2 near Warrenton. The proposal included the stations of East Cadiz (milepost 185), Kenwood (milepost 189), Adena (milepost 192), Dillonvale (milepost 199.9), and Warrenton (milepost 204), along with the tunnel. The request was subsequently approved, and the line was placed out of service. Picture and info from files at HCHS.

LOOK AT THE PAST

The Harrison County Health Department is celebrating one year of their successful and exciting SilverSneakers exercise program this summer. According to Garen Rhome, Health District Administrator, the health department started the Harrison County program last summer as a direct response to a need observed in the “Wecommunity.conducta large community study at least every three years. This is our Community Health Assessment (CHA). Our 2019 CHA identified obesity as one of the top three health concerns among Harrison County residents,” Rhome explained. The program was slated to begin in March of 2020 but was put on hold due to COVID-19 and the Health Department’s response to the community’s shifting needs during COVID. “We were excited to start this program and address this need we saw in the community for access to a physical fitness program. Harrison County residents told us this was important. We couldn’t wait to get started!” added Teresa Koniski, Health Dept Nursing Director and SilverSneakers instructor. The program officially began in June of 2021. The health department reports an extremely positive response from the community and participants, particularly after they come and try out the program. Cathy Rose, a regular participant: “SilverSneakers is one of the best things around! I feel so much better physically and emotionally after joining this group. The instructors are awesome, and the members are all so friendly and fun to be around! I highly recommend it.” The health department partners with Harrison Hills City School District (allowing the use of the Stephenson Center Gym), Scott United Methodist Church, and the OSU Extension, providing health and nutrition education. SilverSneakers typically meets four mornings each week. Two mornings of SilverSneakers“Classic”for low-impact cardio, weights, and resistance bands. One morning of “Walk Fit” for walking exercise, strength, and flexibility. And one morning of Tai Chi, focusing on strength and balance. All equipment is supplied. The free classes are designed for persons over 60, but anyone of any age and fitness level is highly encouraged to attend. Classes are low-pressure, fun, and participants can go at their own pace. Brandi Rapp,RN, one of the SilverSneakers instructors, added, “I am really grateful that we have been able to bring a SilverSneakers program to Harrison County. It is exciting to see how much the participants enjoy the classes and keep coming back. It is a great thing for our community, and we plan to keep it going for years to come.” For more information or a schedule, call 740-942-2616.

From Katherine’s Kitchen...

CADIZ—The Sheriff's Office is seeking to hire both corrections officers and dispatchers and will soon prepare to hire more deputies. "Once the jail is built, we're gonna need about twenty people on staff," Sheriff Joe Myers said. The office recently hired one corrections officer but is looking to add another soon, and then they will be searching for those needed to run the future Correctionjail. officers are responsible for facility security and inmate accountability to ensure a safe environment for inmates and officers. The Harrison County Sheriff's Office operates a full-service jail, a critical operation to maintain an effective criminal justice system.

Hopedale resident Ronald Grim appeared via video call from Harrison County Sheriff's Office for two cases: one for a felony in the second-degree trafficking in drugs and drug abuse, and the other for a felony in the fifthdegree aggravated possession of drugs. Judge T. Shawn Hervey explained the possible sentences that these charges carried, which could add up to 17 years of incarceration. The State, represented by prosecuting attorney Lauren Knight, offered Grim a plea deal that would include 36 months of imprisonment, a dismissal of the lower felony case, and payment of a $1,700 fine. Hervey reminded Grim that the State is under no obligation to keep the offer on the table if he chooses to reject it at this time. With full knowledge that he could face over a decade in prison, Grim stated he wanted to proceed to trial. The State immediately removed its offer, and the trial date was set for NovemberEighteen-year-old1st.

A qualified professional performs the assessment, which results in a numerical score that is then translated into a level of risk: low, moderate, high, or very high. But the assessment isn’t just a checklist; it involves interviewing and discussion with the individual. A primary focus is for the professional to get an idea of where the person is in their journey through drug use, mental health issues, and finding support systems outside the judicial system. While the person will not be diagnosed with mental illnesses during the assessment, the interviewer can encourage the person to discuss their feelings with a doctor and offer resources that could help them accomplish that. The assessment will usually not be used against the individual in any prosecution. The risk level is provided to the attorneys, but a 4-5 page report written by the interviewer is only available to the judge. The prosecution can see it upon request but is only allowed to review it in the judge’s chambers and cannot have a copy. This ensures the assessment is not used to the detriment of the individual and instead is an aid during the rehabilitation process. The ORAS is used throughout the entire criminal justice process for the individual. It helps a judge decide what would be appropriate for bond and can influence sentencing since a moderate-risk person will need more supervision than a low-risk person. It can also help determine where in a correctional facility they should be placed. This task would utilize the Prison Intake Tool, which was developed along with the ORAS. The goal is not to be a ‘gotcha’ moment for the individual but to understand the person as a whole and whether they’re the kind of person who will continue with criminal behavior. It is designed to investigate where the individual can use the most help. If drug abuse is less of an issue, but their family life is falling apart, then it’s clear that there is less need for drug testing and more need for counseling and community connection.

COUNTY COURT 28 speeding violations, 1 assured clear distance ahead, 1 possession of drugs, 1 failure to control vehicle, 1 dogs at large with related 1 count no dog license, 1 open container, 2 failure to yield to emergency vehicle, 1 disorderly conduct, 3 driving under suspicion or operating vehicle impaired, 2 seatbelt violations, 1 stop sign violation, 1 left of center violation, 1 registration violation.

A deputy on patrol stopped a man riding a four-wheeler through Hopedale. When approached, the deputy noted glassy eyes and the smell of alcohol. The driver was identified as Charles Bake and had no active warrants. Bake consented to sobriety tests and ultimately failed each of them. He was read his Miranda rights and placed under arrest for operating a vehicle impaired. He was brought into the office and issued citations, then was able to contact a ride and be 8/23released.–A

ORAS vital to trial process, but what is it?

CADIZ—Christopher Daniska appeared before the court via video call from Jefferson County Justice Center (JCJC). Daniska is on trial for three counts of having a weapon under disability, each a felony in the third degree, two felonies in the fourth degree aggravated trafficking in drugs, and a felony in the third degree aggravated trafficking in drugs. Daniska could face up to 11 years in jail. Given all details of the case, the State offered a sentence of 48 months. This offer will be available until Daniska's next hearing. Daniska requested his lawyer, public defender C. Adrian Pincola, meet him at the jail to discuss his options.

Anthony Mendoza was sentenced in a case of trespassing. Mendoza had shown up at his ex-girlfriend's home after being told multiple times that he was not welcome and needed to stay away from his ex. Before sentencing, the victims made statements to the court. Mendoza's exgirlfriend's statement included sympathy for how Mendoza has been treated at their high school due to the no-contact order. She expressed concern for Mendoza, hoping he would get counseling. Her mother also made a statement in which she explained that during the relationship, her daughter had experienced many health problems that doctors attributed to stress. Since Mendoza has been nocontact, her daughter's health has improved significantly. While she also sympathized with Mendoza's treatment at school, she reiterated her daughter's feelings that the no-contact order remains in place but would appreciate relaxing it at school so that Mendoza can "enjoy his senior year." The court sentenced Mendoza to Community Based Controls for one year and 80 hours of community service. He was also told to undergo counseling and stated he is currently enrolled in a program. Judge Hervey noted that he specifically wanted counseling services to include anger management and domestic"Showingviolence.up at an ex-girlfriend's house raises a lot of red flags," Hervey said. He also pointed out that Mendoza was lucky that night hadn't gone differently. "This situation could have been a lot more serious," He said. "You're lucky no one in that house had a weapon… then we wouldn't be here. We'd be talking about what a shame it was what happened to you." Despite this, Hervey encouraged Mendoza to do better with his life going forward. "Everything is in front of you," He said. With a felony record as a young person, Mendoza has a lot of work ahead, and this will be a turning point in his life. Two cases on Tuesday were stalled due to questioning the competence of the alleged perpetrator. Lloyd McManus in a case of assault as a misdemeanor one, and felonious assault as a felony in the second degree. Richard Hathaway of Scio is on trial for two felonies in the firstdegree rape charges, three sexual battery felonies in the third degree, three unlawful sexual conduct with a minor felonies in the third degree, and one count of obstruction of official business, which is a misdemeanor in the second degree. Competency to stand trial means that the defendant understands that they are in court, the general nature of the charges against them, and the parties involved in the criminal proceedings. Competency is legally unrelated to the defendant's mental state during the alleged crime. In both cases, the determination of competency will be left up to the judge. The court will reach out to the defendants to schedule psychological evaluations. To be shown competent, the defendant must be able to adequately communicate with counsel, understand and process information, and make decisions regarding the case with an understanding of the charges and possible penalties. Competency is a low-threshold requirement. A defendant does not need a sophisticated understanding of the case to be considered fit for trial. cases

SHERIFF’S OFFICE 8/17 – The deputy assigned to the routine courthouse security operations caught several concealed weapons in a woman’s purse. While removing a knife, the deputy located a clear ziplock baggie containing a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana. When asked, the woman admitted that it was marijuana and that she had a medical card which she showed to the deputy. After removing all prohibited items from the purse, the deputy allowed the woman to go ahead and conduct her business in the building. When she returned, she was given a summons for possession of marijuana and informed of court proceedings. While she had a medical card, there are still many laws in place regarding how to carry and transport medical marijuana, which the woman did not follow.

If you have been in the court system or read up on how the judicial system operates, you’ve likely seen the acronym ORAS many times. It stands for Ohio Risk Assessment System and is used by several states and counties across the country to determine an individual’s risk of reoffending.Thereare seven domains on the ORAS ranging from family and employment to peers/ associations and drug use. These factors create an accurate picture of who the person is, so the correct resources are used in their case. The ORAS was developed over a fouryear period with the help of the University of Cinncinati and many other institutions, including the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction and the Office of Criminal Justice Research. The major goals of creating this assessment tool were to separate offenders into accurate risk groups, identify the likelihood of recidivism, identify risk factors to prioritize program needs, and figure out what potential barriers the individual may have in treatment options.

The most important aspect is that his deputies, corrections officers, and dispatchers serve the community. "You get to know a lot of the community people," Myers said. "If you can give them some satisfaction that you've helped them one way or another, that's a satisfaction that you can keep with you forever."

The Sheriff's Office is ready whether that help is on the road with emergency services, getting through various programs in corrections, or offering information in a crisis. Employment by the Sheriff's Office has competitive pay for the area and comes with a health care plan, 13 paid holidays, life insurance, and paid sick leave, among other benefits. If you, or someone you know, is interested in applying for any open positions, stop by the office at 978 E Market Street.

Working in law enforcement is highly rewarding, "The biggest thing is if you want a rewarding profession to be in whether it's a telecommunicator or corrections officer or a deputy, all of that… they're here to help somebody, and they want to help somebody." Myers said. Becoming a part of the Sheriff's Office is more than just a job; it's a career you can work in for years and continue advancing as you gain Dispatchers,experience.known officially as Communications Technicians, are not required to go through the police academy. They attend an online Emergency Management Dispatch class before training with a senior operator. Between emergency and non-emergency calls, the hub at the Sheriff's Office fields around 40,000 calls a year.

Hopedale man contacted the Sheriff’s Office regarding receiving what he believed was a fraudulent check. The caller got the $9,367.23 check in the mail from a company that he had never heard of before called Get Liquid Funding. The caller had not contacted the issuer nor given out any personal information. He wanted to ensure the office had a report on file in case anyone else was scammed.

To protect and serve, more than just a job

A deputy was called to Hopedale for a status check on children. When he arrived, the children were in a neighbor’s yard. The youngest reported that his mother had assaulted him and scratched his neck. Both children said their mother was on drugs of some kind and had violently forced their uncle out of the house. The children’s grandparents arrived while the deputy was still on the scene and were allowed to take the children with them. The mother was informed that a report would be made, and the deputy took pictures of the scratches on the youngest child’s neck. 8/20 – A deputy was dispatched to Freeport on a report of vandalism. When he made contact with the complainant, she explained that the previous night her neighbor had thrown a party. When a side-by-side left the neighbor’s property, the driver could not maintain control and drove into the ditch on the complainant’s property. While getting out of the ditch, the vehicle left tire marks on the lawn. She also stated there had been trash left on her property, but she had already cleaned it up. The deputy spoke with the neighbor, who was informed that the complainant didn’t want to press charges, but if this continued to happen, deputies would be in the area to prevent further damage. The neighbor was understanding and said he would speak with the operator of the side-by-side.

CADIZ—As students return to school, families should be aware that the CDC has updated its guidelines on isolation and quarantine.County Health Administrator Garen Rhome stated that the CDC now recommends that those who test positive for COVID-19 should isolate for five days or until fever free for 24 hours. Isolation, Rhome explained, is different from quarantine. Isolation means limiting all contact with others, including members of one’s own household. After leaving isolation, it is recommended that the individual wear a mask when in contact with others for another five days. The biggest change in the updated guidelines is that quarantine is no longer recommended for the general public. Quarantine is not the same as isolation. Isolation is for covid-positive cases, while quarantine was for those who had come in contact with an infected person. It meant staying home, away from non-infected individuals, while monitoring yourself for symptoms.Thisisno longer the official recommendation for the general public. Now, Rhome said, the CDC advises that if you come into contact with a covid-positive individual, you should self-monitor for ten days. During this time, be cautious about visiting older or high-risk individuals. Also, Rhome added, wear a mask in indoor public spaces during that ten-day phase. It is recommended that you test on day 6 and day 8 after contact to be sure you have not contracted covid asymptomatically. “You want to know so you can isolate and protect those who are close to you, especially vulnerable people,” said Rhome. Of course, guidelines for facilities such as hospitals or nursing homes may be different, Rhome added. People visiting such facilities should be aware of their regulations and safety protocols.Sowhat does this mean for school-age young people and their parents? The advice for them is the same as for the whole community. “Watch your community covid level, and follow health and safety practices for that level, which means if you live in a community with a high level, we recommend that students wear a mask indoors. And students or teachers who may have been exposed should follow those new guidelines for self-monitoring: wear a mask, be mindful of symptoms, test on days 6 and 8.”

Rhome stressed that though we are not seeing as many severe cases that merit hospitalization, the long-term effects of the virus, sometimes termed “long covid” or “post covid,” are still a concern, not just for older adults but for anyone, including younger children.

CADIZ—Last week, Commissioners Paul Coffland and Don Bethel held their regular public meeting on Wednesday, August 17, at 10 am in the courthouse. The commissioners approved purchase orders and vouchers for the Harrison County Department of Job and Family Services (HCDJFS) for a total of $45,000. Of that amount, roughly $32,000 went directly to new school supplies for area children. Purchase orders were also approved for the Harrison County Board of Developmental Disabilities for Appropriations$72,000.for HCDJFS for $115,000, for the Common Please Court General Division for $2,000, and for the Harrison County Senior Center for $100,000 were all approved. Transfers totaling $3,900 for the Board of Elections were approved. The commissioners approved the claims docket batch #4788 for $210,595.73. Finally, the commissioners approved a fund name change and the creation of a new fund for their own office. The fund was empty and was last active in 2012. It will now become the Demo Grant Fund. This week, Commissioners Don Bethel and Paul Coffland met in the commissioner’s office in the courthouse at 10 am on Wednesday, August 24. The meeting began with the passage of three agreements. Agreement 41-22 between Harrison County, including the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, was an application for a federal assistance loan of 6 million dollars to be repaid over a fortyyear period for use in the building of the new adult detention facility. Agreement 42-22 between the Harrison County Board of Commissioners and Encino Acquisition Partners Ohio, LLC was a paid-up oil and gas lease. “This is for property in Stock Township,” Coffland said. “This lease would include a bonus at $3,000 per acre and 16% on the royalties side.” The lease is for .8 acres and has been reviewed and approved by the prosecutor’s office.Agreement 40-22 was made by and between the State of Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Harrison County Board of Commissioners. The National Transportation Act has made available certain Federal funding for us by local public agencies, and this agreement allows ODOT and the commissioners to enter into contracts together for a bridge replacement project on county road five. Construction is currently scheduled for 2025, with an estimated cost of $3,721,000. A grant will fund 80% of the project, leaving the county responsible for 20% of costs.Purchase orders and vouchers were approved for the Harrison County Board of Developmental Disabilities for $8,000 and the County Home for $8,000. Commissioners approved purchase orders/ vouchers for the HCDJFS for about $17,000. Bethel pointed out that, once again, most of those funds went toward back-to-school supplies.There were two appropriations for the commissioner’s office for an increase of $200,000 and an increase of $31,000. An appropriation for the Harrison Soil and Water Conservation District was approved forOne$31,000.transfer was on the agenda for the Common Please-General Division for $550. The commissioners passed claims docket batch #4791 for $151,469.94. A claims docket batch is a collection of checks requested by county offices throughout Harrison. The commissioner’s office is responsible for doling out money to these entities, so a new batch is created each week. The docket is itemized for the commissioner’s benefit but is passed as a whole. This streamlines the process, so the office doesn’t have to approve each claim.

“Long covid usually affects those with severe infections but not always,” said Rhome. “Those who are unvaccinated have a higher risk than those who had breakthrough infections, but vaccinated people can get it too.” Long covid can come with a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, fever, respiratory issues, chest pain, heart palpitations, brain fog, headache, sleeping problems, dizziness, lightheadedness, loss or change of taste or smell, digestive symptoms, joint and muscle pain, and changes to menstrual cycles. These symptoms can bring about depression and anxiety. Sometimes, long covid can lead to disability.“Weare learning to live with and manage covid, the restrictions are essentially nothing, the requests for isolation are dwindling,” said Rhome. “But there are still risk factors.”

Health Dept. urges families to be aware of updated COVID-19 guidelines

For those who are monitoring community levels, Harrison County remains in the yellow (medium). The county was at a high level back in July but dropped back to medium three or four weeks ago. We are seeing a similar downward trend across the state and the nation, at least for now.

Aaron earned the nickname “Ticky” for his love of watches and other trinkets that he could tear apart, put back together and most times add his own touch that would always stand out, drawing questions. As his wife April describes, “he was a great man with a kind heart. He’d do anything for anyone and expect nothing in return, and even though we went through many trials to find one another, Aaron was my soulmate. We called each other ‘my person’ and started every day and every night with I love you; you are my world.”

CADIZ—Village Mayor John Migliore called the bimonthly Cadiz Village Council meeting to order for August 18 at approximately 7 pm. Immediately following this, Migliore brought requests to council from two organizations. The Harrison County Cancer Crusaders wanted permission to hang a banner in the square for an upcoming event they are hosting on October 1. Additionally, the Harrison Central Volleyball Parents Club requested permission to hold a “Tag Day” on September 3 from 11:30 am-2:30 pm. Council unanimously voted to approve both requests. During his Administrator’s Report, Village Administrator Brandon Ludwig gave a quick update on a couple of the projects in progress around town. The village demolition project was reported to still be underway and moving along steadily, though there was mention of a request from the state for up-to-date pictures of a couple of the selected properties before they could continue much further. Ludwig also reported that the sewage project was moving smoothly with no significant new updates. Next, during the Police Committee report, Chief of Police Ryan McCann asked the council to donate $50 to the Eagles Golf Scramble that took place last Saturday, August 20. The village voted unanimously to approve the donation. McCann also mentioned that the Cadiz Police Department was donating $50 as Later,well.Council Member John Vermillion brought up an issue involving unpermitted cars that had been parking in the village’s “permit parking only” lot across from DiAngelo’s. Vermillion expressed his concern with the lack of enforcement of the permit requirement in said lot and urged council to make some sort of change to get the situation under control. Council agreed and decided to tackle the issue by putting up better signage at the lot detailing the permit requirement and directing drivers to where they can go to obtain said permit, as well as working with law enforcement to make sure that the “permit parking only” rule was being more strictly enforced in the future. To conclude the meeting, during the report of ordinances, council voted unanimously to hire both Rachel Morrison as the Assistant to the Clerk/Administrator and Patrick J. Moore as an independent contractor temporarily filling the position of Income Tax Administrator. The next Cadiz Village Council meeting is scheduled for September 1 at 7 pm. This will follow a Cadiz Community Improvement Corporation meeting at 6 pm, which was rescheduled for September 1 after the August 18 CIC meeting was canceled.

STEUBENVILLE—On Saturday, the Lady Husky Soccer team headed to Steubenville Catholic Central. Coach Mindy Madzia states that a grass field is now a challenge after the girls are used to the turf field at home. The Huskies were down 2-0 at the half. After hearing encouraging words from the leadership and making adjustments, they quickly got back in the game. Junior Angi Ferri scored a hat trick. The match assists came from Senior Maddy Bender, Senior Alina Williams, and Senior Lexi Smith. However, Harrison Central came up short with the final score of 4-3.This loss brings the team record to 0-2; however, they lost both games by only 1 point.

CADIZ—On Monday evening, the Toronto Lady Red Knight volleyball teams trekked to Cadiz to take on the Harrison Central Lady Huskies. Following the evening’s festivities, the Lady Red Knights would leave Cadiz with a pair of wins in tow. On Tuesday night, Harrison was in Connorville to take on the Lady Panthers of Buckeye Local. That evening, Harrison would leave Connorville towing their 1st win of the season. In Monday’s opening match, the junior varsity would fall behind and ultimately lose by scores of 17 to 25 and 18 to 25. That contest would see lead changes occur throughout the match. Though the Huskies played well, they would lose momentum during the waning moments of both sets. In the varsity match, the Huskies would fall behind and succumb to the match by scores of 20 to 25, 17 to 25, and 15 to 25. As in the junior varsity match, the varsity Huskies did not play badly, but the Red Knights took advantage of play at the net to secure the win. Statistically, for the Huskies, Danica Rensi would register 9 kills for the Huskies, while Maddy Butler would lead all Harrison scorers with 16 points. The Huskies would also get team support from Olivia Tonkovich, who booked 15 digs. Taylor Nemeth was good at the net with 4 blocks, while Trista Thompson chipped in 3 blocks of her own. On Tuesday in Connorville, the Huskies sought redemption and played an extra set to emerge victorious. The match would end with four sets by scores of 25 to 22(H), 20 to 25(B), 26 to 24 (H), and 25 to 23(H). Ann Marie Corder and Thompson had 9 kills each, and Julia Doty had 13 points to pace the Huskies. Butler played hard and tossed in 39 kills, while Tonkovich played just as hard to toss in 25 big assists, and Nadia Tweedy roamed the net to produce 4 blocked volleys.

BY D.J. WATSON Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer UHRICHSVILLE—It was nothing but a coming-out party for sophomore Mykel Quito and the Harrison Central Huskies last Friday night in Tuscarawas County. Quito posted four touchdowns to lead his team to a 36-18 seasonopening victory over the Claymont Mustangs in the newly renovated Claymont Stadium. Harrison continued their stranglehold on the all-time series that has been popularly dubbed the “Battle of Tappan Lake.” The triumph will go down as the 100th program win in school history (11th over Claymont) for the Huskies, as they controlled much of the game past the late moments of the second quarter. “I thought our players and coaches prepared well for week one. So many things go into the opener, and a lot has to go the right way to be successful. You put in all the hours in the summer, so to come out with a win kind of validates your commitment and effort,” stated fifth-year Head Coach Anthony Hayes. The Huskies and Mustangs seemed evenly matched throughout the opening 12 minutes of action, so much so that the score was deadlocked at 6-6 to end the opening frame. Quito opened all scoring with a one-yard dive to put the Huskies in front 6-0 with 2:14 remaining in the first. The Mustangs, however, did find some big play magic and tied things up with just seven seconds remaining before theThebreak.Huskies started to move the needle in the second quarter, but not before another exchange of pylon trips. Quito put Harrison in front with another one-yard burst; Madzia’s PAT made it 13-6 with 8:20 on the first-half clock. The Mustangs once again answered the call just under two minutes later, but failed on the two-point conversion. A two-yard dive from fullback Caleb Cowans (4:28 2Q) and a field goal from Jace Madzia as time expired before intermission left the halftime tally at 2312 in favor of the Huskies. “I thought we did some things really well overall. Offensively, we ran the ball tough. We threw it when we wanted to. We had some big plays, and we also had some long, grinding drives. Defensively, we knew how many homerun threats they had. That is the fastest and most skilled Claymont team that we have seen in a long time. We went in with the mindset of stopping their passing game and not letting that beat us. They had a couple of big plays, but a lot of that was our poor technique, and the rest was just their athletes making plays.,” stated Hayes. The Harrison special teams units were also firing on all cylinders, and the coach took notice. “Special teams did an outstanding job. Our kicking game and our coverage were on point. Jace stepped right in and drilled a big field goal at the half, making it a two-score game with us getting the ball out of the break. That was huge. He also kicked a couple of touchbacks, making life a little easier for us. If he can deliver each week as he did against Claymont, that makes him a weapon,” Hayes explained.TheHuskies owned the second half, pitching a shutout until the final seconds when the Mustangs snuck in a late score. “That part I didn’t like. We need to learn to finish games. That is a pride thing. Plain and simple. We will work hard to correct that,” the Head Coach continued.Juniorquarterback Hayden Cassidy tossed for 220-yards on just six completions. Tre Rex (54-yards), Clayton Vermillion (47-yards), and Parker Hutton (20-yards) were the big play contributors through the air. 36-18 victory running-back

The year-end dinner meeting of the Conotton Creek Trail Committee will be Monday, September 12, at 6:00 PM at BrightSide Tavern in Jewett. Please note: the place and time have been changed for this meeting.Over 100 new daylilies have been planted along the Conotton Creek Trail, some in the existing flowers gardens and others near benches or shelters. Harry Wilson, a former English teacher at Harrison County schools, has donated lilies to the trail from his flower gardens for the last two years. This year those flowers have produced beautiful blooms, with some pink ones complimenting the Conotton Valley Garden Club’s Hydrangea plot at the Conotton Staging area. Carla Hanzlik of Seal Beach, CA, has donated love letters she collected over the years to the Scio Historical Museum. The letters were between Wesley Knox of Bridgeport and Orilla Cole of Belmont County, written by both parties, and sent to the New Market College, Scio, in Harrison County, Ohio. Orilla’s letters to Wesley are included in the collections. Letters were dated 1874, with some postmarked Barnesville and others Topeka, Kansas. The letters will be displayed at the Scio Historical Museum in the Scio College display case.T.J Miser of Cadiz and former Scio Elementary and Jewett-Scio student, printed a large, colored information poster displaying the history of the Scio School Bell. It is housed at the Scio Museum. The bell had been on three different Scio Schools and was removed from the schoolformerandplaced in the atrium between the 1937 and 1960 additions. When the school was dismantled, the bell was donated to the ScioKatieMuseum.English and her daughter attended the wedding of Katie’s grandson Greg English and Kaia Speicher this past Saturday in Massillon. Greg is the son of Scott and Abbie English. The ceremony was officiated by Scott, the father of theMarthagroom. Kovacik and her friend have returned from a three-day trip to Put-InBay, where they enjoyed a stay on the island. Martha has also welcomed her third greatgranddaughter, born on August 20.

DID YOU KNOW?… In 1840 there once stood a schoolhouse of octagonal shape with a belfry, and it was located“Schoolhouseon Street.” SMITHFIELD By Esther McCoy I didn't hear any complaining about getting up just past 6 PM during the last ten days from the house next door. This is where my two nieces, Nola, 7th grade, and Lucy Toth, 1st grade, live. All was calm on the western front. They both go to new schools as Lucy starts at Buckeye Local Elementary and Nola goes to Buckeye Local 7th grade. The Jefferson County Farm Bureau will hold its annual meeting at the Farm Restaurant, just outside of Mount Pleasant, on Sept. 8. I don't see the time on the annual meeting letter, though. Jeanne Roberts is a lady who is busy from morning to night with the Promotion and Education committee, served on a committee for the local Farm Bureau, and plays piano for churches all over the area. She was the top solicitor for membership. Jefferson County ended the campaign with 824 active members and achieved membership gain plus 1 percent. There are groups in Harrison, Carroll, and Tuscarawas County too. In July, the local county hosted a Young Ag Professionals Square Dance at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. About 80 people attended. A grilling (barbecue) demonstration was held as well on July 16. A partnership with organizations from the Carroll, Harrison, Jefferson, and Tuscarawas counties will be held to focus on everybody's health in the agricultural community. There is still a tear in the eyes of youth when thinking of the young life that was taken three years ago. Mackenzie Rae Smith, who had just started as a cheerleader for Edison High School that year, was applying for the Junior Fair princess in her effort to be busy throughout Jefferson County. Her mother pointed out this was the year that she would be graduating. MacKenzie raised milk cows and calves for 4-H. Many fundraisers were held in schools all over the county and beyond for the enthusiastic cheerleader and 4-H member who passed away unexpectedly. Our son, Jay, who enjoys coming to the junior fair auction each year, brought along his daughter, Amber, and son-in-law Phil from the Columbus area. They wandered around a bit while we sat and tried to plot how we could get the most money for the 4-H animal we bought. You can always count on animal caregivers Saiter, Best, or Morrison. And I can name about 20 others that we know. We highly respect all the products coming from the fair. Much work has been put into raising anything from a chicken to a steer. Tears are shed from many members who are taking their animals for auction, no matter the size, small to huge. And all the youth are so courteous. About three months ago, the News Herald published a picture I had sent in on miners from a Piney Fork mine, and a young man called and asked if I had the picture, as his uncle had been in it. I had done a thorough cleaning just before that and didn't think it was still in my possession. I have found the picture. If he sees this blurb and calls me, I could send it to him (740 733-7614). I am honored that people are happy to see past workers at the Hanna Coal Co. They worked hard for their money. It was a tedious job, and you can see by the coal dust all over their clothing and faces that they worked hard. A third-generation business of Thompon & Sons Inc. has been recognized for its existence in Dillonvale. Don Thompson, the present owner, was recognized for his 20 years of membership to operate the National Federation of Independent Business at a meeting. U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, was present. It began in 1929. We have great weather right now. Get out and enjoy it.

BY JACQUIE HUMPHREY Harrison News-Herald Correspondent LEESVILLE - At the August meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, Athletic Director Jonathon Stuck introduced Marie Dowling, of Behnke Architecture, to the Board. Stuck advised that he had asked Dowling to attend the meeting to address any concerns that they may have regarding the artificial turf that is to be installed on the district’s baseball and softball fields. Dowling explained that Conotton’s fields have been designed with optimal drainage, understanding from the beginning that they are in a flood zone. Dowling advised that the plans can be adjusted to include a cryogenic rubber that does not float if the Board feels it is necessary. Board member Rob Higgenbotham inquired as to what the cost difference would be and Dowling reported that the cryogenic rubber would be more expensive, but the cost could be offset with the turf. A discussion took place regarding the construction, drainage, and cleaning of the turf. Construction, Stuck said, is planned to begin later this month. In other discussions, Superintendent John Zucal advised that the nine new hires had been present for the past two days, and he feels that they are all “outstanding.” Zucal said that all staff will be reporting for duty on Monday and that he had asked Board President Chris Bower to address the group as the new school year opens. Zucal further thanked the board for hiring the experienced teachers that they have, saying that “your investment in people is greatly appreciated.”OtherAction:Approvedexpenditures totaling $781,496.51 is requested.Heardthe General Fund balance in Unified Bank reported at $350,000.00, with Mutual fund balances of $5,235,731.39 in Unified Bank and $3,575,872.77 in Star Ohio.
