East Sparta Homecoming: Person of the Year 2021

Gary Piatt is a familiar face in the East Sparta-Sandy Valley area. He was born in Piedmont, Ohio, but he moved to Canton to get a job in 1959 (right after graduating from high school). Gary was successful at job hunting and was hired at Sugardale as a crew leader for 30 years.

But Gary had too much energy for just one job; he was a realtor for 36 years, an auctioneer for 28 years, and was a close friend to Santa. In fact, Gary and Santa were almost like twins. Santa called on Gary to help him — for 47 years. Even today, Gary makes a person do a double-take as he still looks like Santa.

Gary is still getting together with his high school alumni and has been his school’s alumni leader since 2001. East Sparta has benefited from Gary being an active Homecoming volunteer for the

past 30 years. He has served as the annual parade announcer and will also take your money at the Eat Stand, serving as a cashier. He is chairman of the board for the East Sparta Methodist Church.

And Gary is a 32nd-degree Scottish Rite Freemason and Chaplin for two of their temples.

Gary’s home helper is his wife, Phyliss. Phyliss met Gary on a blind date, which resulted in 32 years of marriage and still going strong. They have two daughters, Cheryl and Chelly. And a big smile comes on Gary’s face when he talks about his four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Thanks, Gary — for always being there for our village.

Gary Piatt is the 83rd East Sparta Homecoming’s Person of the Year.

Jewett council to contribute funds to museum

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com JEWETT—On Wednesday, Jewett’s council discussed the needs of the Jewett Museum with acting Mayor Bo Bailey, who was sitting in for the recently deceased Mayor Dwight Busby. Bailey raised the issue of a contract between the village and the museum allowing the village to pay $1,500 per year if needed.

“They’ve been taking care of everything up there,” Bailey told council. “They never had asked us for nothing.”

Treasurer Linda Ager noted that the village owns the building and reiterated giving the museum $1,500 per year “if they needed it.” Ager said the museum had been paying all the utilities, but Bailey added they were attempting a fundraiser, which they speculated COVID might have contributed to a lack of business.

“Yeah, they probably do need money,” Ager told the council. Bailey said this was the first time the museum had asked for funding. All agreed to issue the funds.

A walk through time: Henry Law Farm completes catalog of 10,000 antiques

BY SHAWN DIGITY twitter@DIGITYnodoubt The Law Reed Huss Farm is located beyond the western ends of Tappan Lake and Willis Run Bay, just past the reservoir. And it’s planted perfectly at the intersection of Plum Run and Reed Roads, as pretty as a picture. Bill Huss, the farm proprietor, and other members of the Huss and Reed families hosted an open house in late July to celebrate the completion of a massive, 10,000-item cataloging venture. The farmhouse has already been distinguished as a historic site.

It’s had that designation for quite some time, but the cataloging process was a large-scale and time-consuming undertaking. However, upon arrival, the plaque honoring the farmhouse was one of the first features that drew the eye. Qualifying as a historic site, at least as a historical homestead, requires that the same family hold the property for at least a century.

Indeed, the idyllic farmhouse was beautiful, but the cataloging endeavor had turned it into something more — more than both a farm and a historic site. It had become a giant time capsule. The Henry Law Farm (another name for the homestead) left the viridescence of the Plum Run holler behind and opened a portal to a time 150 years ago. As it opened up, it exuded the spirit of the late 1800s and early 1900s, which set the stage for the rest of the house. The atmosphere exuded more than just history, though, because it took nearly a year’s worth of time and effort to set up and catalog the thousands of items. More so, the man behind the process, art historian and cataloger of the Law Reed Huss Farm collection David Kencik, was present for the event. Bill Huss was first to express his gratitude for Kencik’s knowledge and work for the cataloging: “David ended up being a perfect fit.” Kencik, who studied at Ohio University, sparked Huss’s interest after seeing that the university had a Museum Studies program. And one member of the Law family, Loretta Law Duswald, was also an alumna. Kencik ultimately ended up leading an impromptu tour as guests began migrating into the house. Much of the Law-Reed-Huss family was there, as well, but they went their own route for family photos and fellowship, so the tour shrunk to two people. As Kencik guided the way, he broke down the interior of the living room.

In one corner sat a bookshelf, chock full of various subjects. The bookshelves were seemingly fixtures in nearly every room, however. It shouldn’t be seen as a surprise. Kencik said that

the family was well-read, and reading, in general, was very prevalent in the 1800s and 1900s, before radios and TVs entered the scene. Hanging in another corner was also a certificate. While the plaque outside was bestowed nationally, the certificate in the living room was recognized

by Ohio. The certificate confirmed in more words what the front porch plaque symbolized.

It honored the Henry Law Farm “for a century or more of continuous family ownership of an Ohio homestead or tract of land. To the dedication and perseverance of the founders and heirs of these lands, we owe the wealth of the Great State of Ohio.” It had been approved and signed by the presidents of The Ohio Historical Society and Board of Trustees to officialize the honor. As the living room tour continued, Kencik made mention of some of the furniture. A royal purple coach, in particular, was especially noteworthy since it was Victorian-era inspired and in near-mint condition. The couch was made with woven and dyed horsehair, Kencik informed, and it was still capable of holding people. No one tested the couch’s integrity on that matter, though.

Next, the tour shifted toward the parlor, off to the side of the living room. And it held many stories. There was a piano with some sheet music, a giant crock with an undisclosed purpose, a desk with its pens and an ink jug, a hope chest, a bed on a brass frame, and another bookshelf.

But Kencik noted one particular piece of furniture at the foot of the bed: the game table. The table part was obvious; it looked like a run-ofthe-mill hardwood table at first glance, but it held a secret that made it convenient for parties and get-togethers. The top of the table could swivel to reveal a compartment where the host could store game pieces, dice, or playing cards.

And keep the hidden compartment motif in the back of your mind; the game table foreshadowed another piece of furniture later in the tour.

The parlor would be the first of many, but most rooms boasted ornate and flamboyant Victorian-style wallpaper reproductions. Some featured jewel-toned Victorian-era designs and some had symbolic wreaths with red ribbons and moths. Kencik explained that wallpaper was more in vogue during the early 1900s because of a dearth of paint selections. However, advancement in paint technology eventually allowed for new palettes of colors, and consequently, it led to a new wave of interior design. Kencik mentioned that the color options became so variegated in the 1940s, homeowners would straight-up paint over hardwood furniture to keep up with homemaking trends.

Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District sees jump in camping, park revenue

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com NEW PHILADELPHIA—Newly appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District James Crandall provided a relatively positive outlook at last month’s meeting held at the Kent State Tuscarawas campus. It was the first in-person meeting for the District since February 2020.

Crandall told the board their total operating income so far had nearly doubled from this time last year, $9 million today versus the reported $4.8 million in 2020. When it came to operational revenue, he reported just over $16.9 million and 72% capacity of 2019’s budget. He said for the first half of 2020, though, they were only operating at 52% of the budget.

“However, the difference between ‘21 and ‘19 as we were significantly carried by oil and gas that year,” Crandall explained. For June, those oil and gas royalties amounted to $913,000 or close to $5.3 million year-todate, which is a 24% increase compared to this time last year, according to Crandall.

“And the basic driver of that right now is commodity prices,” he stated. Other department’s financial situations included park revenue at $7.2 million for June 2021 versus $4.3 million in June 2020, a 60% increase. He said park camping was one of the numbers that

impressed him, with an operating budget of 98%.

“To be at 98% of budget in June is unbelievable,” Crandall said. “And nearly every category is up significantly over the prior year.” He countered with negative news for gate revenue, though, which he said was down some. But Crandall stated that in 2020 many amenities were closed, and the District had little choice. But after comparing to 2019, the District felt they were “on par” there.

Crandall moved to marina revenue, calling it a great year and up 26% (or nearly $2 million) compared to last year. Operational expenses are coming in at 43% of the budget, up 3% from 2020. He said after cost-control measures were implemented in 2020, the expense numbers were still on target. For the park master plan, expenditures were down 63% of the budget, with capital expenditures down 53%. Crandall said the maintenance assessment fund was also in line with last year’s budget, with expenses down 38%.

Turning to park net income, Crandall said all parks are over 100%: Charles Mill at 222%, Pleasant Hill at 142%, and Atwood Park approaching $2 million in revenue. He said Atwood finished around $2.4 million for all of 2020, which he called a record year for them.

Crandall said they are up 45% in net income for marinas but then added the Tappan Marina project delay as a potential aspect for “budget impacts.”

Husky Football prepares for upcoming scrimmages

BY ED BANKS News-Herald Sportswriter CADIZ—On Tuesday morning, the Harrison Central High School football team was out doing what they do best at this time of the year, and that’s game preparation! With the team broken down into their specialty units, the Dawgs of Huskies Way were busy proving to their coaches just how hard they could run and block and how deep their bite might be.

The day’s session received a little cooperation from the weather, as an overcast sky helped a mild and easterly breeze sweep through the hollow that is now named Wagner Field. Though the morning bore some resemblance of pleasantry, the X’s and O’s being barked out by the coaches took precedence over what might have been an enjoyable day of practice.

The 2020 football team will be represented

by a good and promising number of players this season. In the recent past, the squad had numbers somewhere in the high 30 range. As of Wednesday, the team’s numbers had them ostentatiously at 45. That 45 number includes nine seniors, eight juniors, 15 sophomores, 13 freshmen. Those squad numbers will be fused by an arsenal of experience provided by the return of fourteen 2020 lettermen.

As for the leaders, Head Coach Anthony Hayes is fortunate to be surrounded by a returning cadre of coaches who helped make a season surrounded by the sanctions of the COVID-19 pandemic successful. That returning coaching experience in of itself, gives Harrison Central a heads-up on what is needed to be successful in 2021.

This Saturday, the Huskies will be traveling to Strasburg, where they will be involved in a preseason dress rehearsal against the Tigers.

Gamble slated on upcoming MMA Fight Card

BY ED BANKS News-Herald Sportswriter

The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District held its first in-person meeting since February 2020, and the reports on parks and recreation were booming with good news.

Many parks reported nearly 90% or beyond in net revenue.

CADIZ —Former Harrison Central football and wrestler standout Cody Gamble is scheduled to re-enter the Mixed Martial Arts ring on Saturday, Aug. 21st, 2021, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. At the time of the fight notification, an opponent had not yet been identified or signed. Gamble has also recently acquired a cage blanket traditionally displayed by his corner while the fight introductions are made. The blanket contains a likeness of Gamble and holds the names and insignias of all his current sponsors.

To date, Gamble’s fight experience in the MMA has taken him through professional grappling, boxing, and all-out ‘mano a mano’ brawling. With six professional events under his belt, Gamble has not been defeated following any of his outings, and he maintains a personal-professional record of 5-0-1. If you know Cody, as I do, you can bet he has no intentions of losing any future bouts.

If anyone is interested in attending the fight and needs tickets, you can contact Cody on Facebook or Facebook Messenger. Also, if anyone or any business is interested in sponsoring Cody, please contact him accordingly.

Mount Pleasant’s Historical Society bringing new energy into 2021 tour

Put Your Trust In Our Memory Care

There may come a time when your loved one needs more attention and supervision than you can offer.

MOUNT PLEASANT—As the world opens back up from the lockdown of the COVID pandemic, Americans are beginning to travel again to exotic locations. Only the idea of “exotic” has changed a little. People are finding it much closer to home, within driving distance, and even in their own backyard.

And that’s the case with the historic village of Mount Pleasant, Ohio. According to Historical Society president Angela Feenerty, “People are coming to tour our village from all over.”

The Historical Society of Mount Pleasant will be hosting its annual Historic Home Tour Saturday and Sunday, August 7-8. “If you’ve never been on the tour before, you will be amazed at what all is here, and if you’ve been here before, you won’t believe all that has happened in the past year,” said Feenerty. “Five of our six historic buildings have undergone extensive restoration and updates made recently, and all of our museum spaces have been redesigned to show off previously hidden parts of our collection,” Feenerty added. The Society has historic craftspeople and speakers planned for the event. Abe Lincoln will be on hand (in the form of a first-person impersonator) to speak to the guests and lecture from the steps of the Elizabeth House. Additionally, there will be a hat maker, chair caner, and basket weaver present, all located in a recently restored 1806 two-story log house. The log house is a project of Feenerty and her husband, Don, who began the restoration five years ago. This year, it’ll be part of the tour.

Near the log house, there will be a two-per-

son saw demonstration — and lessons, too.

Also, Unified Bank and Theaker Excavating are co-sponsoring an archeology and fiscal literacy awareness program for children under a period-correct canvas tent. Children whose parents are on the tour will be able to dig for buried treasure while supplies last.

A highlight of the 2021 tour will be working demonstrations in the Historical Society’s 19th-century tin shop conducted by master tinsmiths Carl and Marcia Giordano. The Giordanos’ work has been used in historical displays and even sold in Colonial Williamsburg and Monticello. And most recently, they’ve been featured in the hit TV series “Underground Railroad.” Tin items will also be available for sale or order at the tin shop during the tour.

The event will also include the Kenn Sickle Memorial Classic Car Cruise, Saturday from 12-4 p.m.; car cruise etiquette will apply. The Village of Mount Pleasant will provide a free concert at the gazebo in the village park Saturday evening, beginning at 6 p.m. and featuring Josh Sokoloski.

The historic Lundy House will not be on the tour this year because of renovations being conducted by the Ohio History Connection. But the 1814 Quaker Annual Meeting House will be open and available as part of the tour. The tour hours are set for Saturday, Aug. 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 8, 1-5 p.m.

Tickets will be available at the Elizabeth House for $15 per adult, and children under 15 will be admitted at no charge with a paying adult.

Photos provided by Don and Angela Feenerty The Quaker Annual Meeting House, dated back to around 1814, will be open for the Mount Pleasant Historical Society’s 2021 tour.

Historical Society president Angela Feenerty and her husband, Don, rejuvenated a log cabin from around 1806 in preparation for tours. The log cabin will be a part of the 2021 circuit.

We cater to those who need 24-hour supervised care in a safe, secured space designed to minimize wandering.

Adena Heritage Days returns with new queen and grand marshal

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com ADENA—After a year off and COVID-19 interfering with many functions, Adena’s Heritage Days is back, and it kicks off Friday, Aug. 13; the traditional Saturday parade and some pomp and circumstance are on the agenda. The 92-year-old Jeanne Donley of Adena has been crowned queen this year, with Dirk Harkins as the grand marshal. But Harkins will be conducting his master of ceremony responsibilities a little different than years past.

He looks at it as an honor to be tabbed the grand marshal of Heritage Days and represent all first responders.

“I’m just fortunate to be the one to represent all the first responders,” he said. Harkins doesn’t want to sit and ride and wave to the crowd; he wants to be among the crowd, with all the veterans and first responders who will be in attendance. “There’s not going to be just one grandmaster of ceremonies,” Harkins said, wanting to make it for all the ones who put themselves on the line. “It’s their day,” he added.

Jeanne Donley also sees her appointment as an honor but, in a way, might be called the reluctant queen. President of the Heritage Days committee Lynn McConnell said she had to do a little persuading to get Donley to fall in line. “First thing I asked: ‘Do I have to make a speech?’” Jeanne said, then laughed. Donley was born in 1929 to Beatrice and Morris Walker and attended Adena High

School in 1947. “She helped take care of her mother until she could start work at the age of 21,” said Karen DaVia, one of Jeanne’s daughters. Donley worked at Scio Pottery from 1950 to 1955, and after spending two summers in California, she met her husband Jerry on a blind date. They married after he was discharged from the Navy while serving in Korea. Jeanne has lived most of her life in Adena; she figures she’s spent about 85 years in her hometown. She moved in with Karen after Jerry died in 2009, but the house was built on the same land where Donley was born. Jeanne has three daughters, one grandson, three granddaughters, three great-grandsons, and two great-granddaughters.

As for grand marshal Dirk Harkins, he’s a veteran and a member of Adena American Legion Post 525; he’s been closely involved with the needs of military veterans, especially combat veterans (he himself is one). Harkins signed up as the result of 9/11. After ending a day at work and seeing what had happened on September 11, he went home and told his wife at the time: “We’re going into the military.”

Friday’s Heritage Days festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. and stretch until 11 p.m. On Saturday, the parade will start at noon, followed by the presentation of flags and the national anthem. Events will last throughout the day ending with the 10 p.m. fireworks. Among the entertainment is a cornhole tournament on Saturday at 6 p.m. and a car show preceding.

Harrison County receives deed to US 250 property

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ—The old gas station on U.S. 250 that is no more has finally seen the last step in its transformation from an eyesore to an empty lot ready for future use.

President of the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation, Dale Arbaugh, Harrison County Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen, Stock Township trustee Jeff Crall, and BJAAM Environmental vice president Jason Grecco appeared before the Harrison County Commissioners to officially present the deed of the U.S. 250 property.

The station and the surface have been raised and leveled, and the gas tanks were all removed well before COVID took control, but the missing deed became the final piece to the puzzle.

“Four years ago, we took on the project... to clean up abandoned petrol gas stations and so forth,” Arbaugh explained. “And one of the sites we addressed was the Tappan Coultraps site down [U.S.] 250” Arbaugh then gave a little summary of the process that began back in 2017 trying to find the owners who he called “nonexistent.” And with no success, it led to a long court process to take over the property. When that was accomplished, BJAAM Environmental was able to move in for the eventual cleanup.

“The state provided all the funds for all the environmental cleanup on the property,” Arbaugh said. An initial grant came in for $249,000, with a second grant adding just over $211,000, which he said covered more surface cleanup, such as tires that had covered parts of the property.

“So, it was not just petroleum, but it was also tires and things like that that took place there,” Arbaugh reminded the board. He said it took three years from the time the physical process began to finally complete all the paperwork.

Economic Development Director Homrighausen said tax issues were one of the problems that

needed to be straightened out, as well.

He told the board the state program that the Community Improvement Corporation took advantage of doesn’t normally take this long, but it was unavoidable with all the hurdles mentioned. “You know, it’s been a problem in various years, I would say, from the seventies on [with] various ownerships and issues with the taxes, so we were able to clean that up,” Homrighausen explained. “Now we have a clean property, you know that doesn’t have any back taxes on it, and the ownership will be with the county commissioners, which was what it was always intended to be.”

He noted that the abandoned station was not only along a main thoroughfare for residents and visitors passing by but was also within the “flood over-spillway” of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, which added more complications and inspections.

“It was a great project; it took longer than what they typically do,” Homrighausen stated.

“But the abandoned gas station program from the state is a good program, and there’s other properties and-or gas stations that are looked at in the county.” He called it a “real group effort” to complete the project, including their former attorney John Tabacchi and the commissioners.

“This project is a big win, no question when it comes to that particular area; it was a mess. It was just abandoned,” Commissioner Don Bethel added. He then congratulated the Community Improvement Corporation and Homrighausen for their efforts. They both noted the cost of cleaning up a small property “less than a tenth of an acre” with well over $400,000 spent. However, they hoped it could eventually be put to good use.

And BJAAM Environmental vice president Jason Grecco reminded the board and public that the grant required no matching funds from the county. He added that there was more funding for additional projects, which would include the environmental aspect. “And we’re excited to see this property redeveloped,” Grecco told the board.

Harrison Hills Board of Education declares COVID masks optional

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ—The upcoming school year won’t enforce mandatory masks, but they will remain optional for anyone to wear. The Harrison Hills Board of Education voted last Thursday to make mask-wearing optional, a decision carried over from early summer, according to superintendent Dana Snider.

Scio residents not responding to income tax letters

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com SCIO—Not much time was spent on the subject, but the message was short and to the point: Residents aren’t responding to income letters.

Last Wednesday, Scio’s income tax administrator Janeen Scott once again stressed the importance of the public responding to courtesy letters

regarding income tax inquiries.

It’s been a problem in the past and a recurring one. While not all residents were unresponsive, Scott made the point that there were enough to make it a problem for the village.

“There’s a number of people that are not responding to courtesy letters of delinquent taxes,” Scott explained. “Taxes must be filed and paid; this will not go away.”

School busses are a different story, though, as she added that federal guidelines still require mandatory mask-wearing during bus transportation, so Harrison Hills will have to adhere. But in connection with the school, bus rides are the only area where mask-wearing is mandatory. The vote also goes for faculty and staff; it’ll be optional for them, too.

“For now,” Snider added. “We will monitor it closely with what is going on in the county.”

Sheriff Myers reminding Harrison County of student safety with school year in sight Sheriff Joe Myers of the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind everyone that as the summer days grow shorter, communities across America will soon be observing that timeless annual ritual: the first day of school, Aug. 23, 2021. It’s a time when parents breathe a sigh of relief, and students and teachers anticipate new beginnings and new challenges. For the over 23 million students nationwide, the school day begins and ends with a trip on the school bus. However, the greatest risk is not riding the bus; it’s approaching or leaving the bus. Before children go back to school or start school for the first time, it is essential that adults and children know traffic safety rules.

Unfortunately, the beginning of the school year will also be a time when children are at an increased risk of transportation-related injuries (pedestrian, bicycle, school bus, and motor vehicle crashes); there will be many more children on the road each morning and afternoon, and many drivers’ patterns change. Students returning to in-person learning

Tips for motorists: • Slow down and obey all traffic laws and speed limits.

• Always stop for a school bus that has stopped to load or unloadpassengers. Red flashing lights and an extended stop arm tell you the school bus is loading or unloading children; state law requires you to stop.

Passing a stopped school bus is a $190 fine; appearance is also required, and two points are added to your license. Be alert and ready to stop. Watch for children walking in the street, especially where there are no sidewalks. Watch for children playing and gathering near bus stops. Watch for children arriving late for the bus, who may dart into the street without looking for traffic. When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch for children walking or biking

might rely on school buses to get them to and from school safely. Shorter daylight hours make it especially difficult to see young pedestrians and bicyclists. So as the schools open their doors, it’s time for everyone — motorists, parents, educators, and students — to improve their traffic safety practices. The following tips can help make this a safe and happy school year for the whole community.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has developed a variety of kid-friendly materials and teaching tools. They can be downloaded from the Safety Administration’s website at www.nhtsa.dot.gov, or you can fax your order to 202-493-2062. The website also provides links to many other organizations and materials related to safe school travel. Support any “Getting to School Safely” activities sponsored by your school, the PTA/PTO, or other community organizations.

Sheriff Myers says, “Please be safe and watch for our most valuable resource: “our kids.”

to school. When driving in neighborhoods or school zones, watch for young people who may be in a hurry to get to school and might not be thinking about getting there safely.

Tips for Parents: • Teach your children to learn and practice the safety rules for walking, bicycling, or riding in a passenger car, school bus, or transit bus. Supervise young children as they walk or bike to school or as they wait at the bus stop. Be a good role model, especially when you are with your kids. Always buckle up in the car, always wear a helmet when biking, and always follow pedestrian safety rules.

Tips for Educators: • Teach young children the safety rules for traveling to school, whether it’s walking,

bicycling, or riding in a motor vehicle or on a school bus.

Tips for Students: • Always buckle up when you’re riding in a car.

• Always ride in the back seat; it’s the safest place for young people.

• Always wear a helmet and follow traffic safety rules when riding your bike. If you ride a school bus, learn and practice the safety rules for waiting at the bus stop, getting on and off the bus, and riding the bus.

• If you walk to school, learn and practice the safety rules for pedestrians.

• Always cross at crosswalks and obey all traffic signs, traffic lights, and safety patrol instructions. Be a good role model for your younger brothers and sisters and friends, and help them learn and practice the safety rules.

Malvern’s Great Trail Festival bringing back the 18th century

BY ESTHER MCCOY Correspondent For the past 39 years, the Great Trail Festival has been building an authentic village among the trees near the actual Great Indian Trail. The event offers two weekends of old-time entertainment and activities. The 18th-century marketplace will be packed with crafts by selected artisans and craftspersons, starting on the weekend of Aug. 28-29 and also for the following weekend, Sept. 4-6. It’s an opportunity to acquire fine leatherwork, handwrought pottery, fragrant herbals, and primitive folk art. One will be able to watch fancy spinning, weaving, quilting, and basketry, too. In addition, there will be old-fashioned soap making, candle making, woodworking, carvers, flint knappers, silversmiths, and blacksmiths doing what had to be accomplished by hand years ago.

There will be two villages of traders and trappers cooking over open campfires. There were no microwaves to scrounge together quick meals back then, and the food

Crash in Harrison County results in fatality

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com HARRISON COUNTY—According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a crash that occurred early Wednesday morning on Miller Station Road resulted in one fatality. Harrison County Emergency Management Agency director Eric Wilson stated he received the call at 8:18 a.m. because of a fire that broke out.

The fire, he said, caused material inside the truck to be destroyed, leaving authorities in the dark about the truck’s possible contents and what might leak into the ground. Wilson was called as a security precaution.

Wilson contacted the Ohio EPA, and after conferring with them and others, determined that the contents were safe.

State Patrol released a statement Wednesday afternoon: “[The Ohio State Highway Patrol] is currently investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash that occurred at 8:20 a.m. on CR4/ Miller Station Road in German Township, in Harrison County. The crash involved a purple 1997 Ford L9500 semi dump truck driven by Joe Robinson, age 49, of Lowell, Ohio. Initial investigation revealed the semi was northbound on CR4 and traveled off the right edge of the roadway and overcorrected to the left. The semi overturned onto its right side and slid off the left side of the roadway. The semi struck two trees, and Mr. Robinson was pronounced deceased at the scene.

“Hopedale Fire Department, Jewett Fire Department, and Harrison County Sheriff’s Office were on scene to assist. Mr. Robinson was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash. The crash remains under investigation.”

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy

The last month of summer, as we know it, is here and school is about to begin. I like to watch the children getting on the bus in the morning. The ones in the back seat look back and make all kinds of signs to me or make faces if I have the misfortune of being behind the bus. It gives them something to do to pass the time way until they reach their destination, and I have my laugh for the day.

But first, we have the Jefferson County Fair that will keep 4-Hers and those in FFA and scouting busy. What comes to my mind is the Saiter, Petric, and Bodo children who have been raising livestock, rabbits, and chickens through the years. Also, the Sudvary girls who raise goats and have horses.

The Jefferson County Farm Bureau is preparing for the fair with two different areas on dairying. One will be in the display building and the other down at the dairy area. They will be selling ice-cold chocolate, white milk, and strawberry flavor if possible. There will be information on dairy care as well. Adults can sign up each day for a chance at door prizes, and there will be games for children, along with a Cow Tale caramel stick. Jeanne Robinson is the leader of this project. She has lots of ideas as she worked with children in her many years of elementary teaching Our son, Jay, had a birthday on Aug. 3.

Others with recent birthdays were Carolyn Piergallini and Judy Saiter, two great 4-H people.

We have great horticulturalists in Smithfield. Right now, they are Charles and Marcia Fluharty with a vast number of tomatoes for canning and just to enjoy right now. There is a large number of tomatoes and we have sampled them abundantly for canning, salads, and just eating like an apple. This always brings me back to our childhood when we would get into my grandfather Kollar’s garden with a salt shaker and feast. Of course, they were not clean but rubbing them on a trouser leg for a few seconds made them good as gold.

Linda Helt is another great designer at her business The Stitching Post in our town. She has wreaths of the appropriate seasons, purses, tea towels to hang on the oven door, and many other items. It is nice seeing some folks bringing back business into the village.

It takes much work to bring about the sev-

en-day Jefferson County Fair and all the events that go with it. It starts on Aug. 16 and continues until Aug. 22. Stop and see the youth hard at work with their livestock projects, cleaning up barns, and watering and feeding their babies they have come to love over their time of caring for them.

Scio awarded an Appalachian Regional Commission grant

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com Next, administrator Jason Tubaugh emphasized the village’s infrastructure updates.

He opened with the good news of the village being awarded an Appalachian Regional Commission grant, which will partially cover Scio’s waterline project — encompassing mostly Brown, Maple, Walnut, and Grandview Streets. The ARC grant will be combined with a community development block grant from earlier this year, and Tubaugh stated the engineering part is 99% complete.

The planned advertising for bids will go in either December 2021 or January 2022.

“I’m not sure exactly what the award will be, but once we know that, we’ll know the

total grant amount” on the village’s part.

Tubaugh said construction was to begin in the spring of 2022 but added that it’s “all contingent on the award of the CDBG amount.”

Additionally, the Ohio Public Works Commission granted another award for $165,058 with a 0% interest loan of $41,26, resulting in a total project cost of $206,322.

The funds are for collection system work on Fowler Avenue. Tubaugh spoke favorably about the total, considering the first estimate was over $900,000, followed by a second one of around $600,000.

“I think a little homework on our part paid off great dividends to us,” Tubaugh told council. “They had to readjust the contract,” he said, referring to the $206,000 fig-

ure when a 10% overage was omitted. It will be re-reviewed by the council.

Tubaugh said the water clarifier was coming along, with bids intended for late August or early September and a potential bid awarding in later September. They also hope to begin the project this year, but it may continue into 2022, depending on materials. Tubaugh, though, told council if they were really lucky, December of 2021 would be the start date. “I don’t see it, but it’s possible.” As the meeting wrapped up, Tubaugh ended with a reminder for the annexation public hearing scheduled for Aug. 20, at 10 a.m. in Harrison County Courthouse’s common pleas courtroom. “I would highly recommend everyone attend; you are elected officials,” Tubaugh said.

Gillespie Funeral Home

​​Harrison County Genealogical Society Pictured is showing the corner of East Market and Ohio Streets in Cadiz with the Gillespie Funeral Home and Furniture Store. Next door is the Gillespie home built on the lot where a fire destroyed the Globe Hotel on July 22, 1890. The house was converted into the Living Water Assembly of God Church in the 1980s and ‘90s. Today there is a parking lot where the house stood. The same angle today would come looking up East Market Street from the Puskarich Public Library.

Good NEWS

By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harriville United Methodist Churches

God’s Word: The Best Vaccine

No matter where you turn, there is unrest and confusion. Whether it’s our country, our politics, our relatives, or our co-workers, there is always something broken or going south in a hurry. Jesus said of the last days, “Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold.” And these are just the things going on around us. If we take our eyes off Jesus and focus on the evil of the world around us and on our own circumstances, then, little by little, the layers of hopelessness harden around our hearts, and love for God and others grows cold. God told Joshua to meditate on his Word day and night, be strong and courageous, and not turn to the left or right. But there are many who meditate on social media and the news networks more than the promises of God. In some circles, that’s called “borrowing trouble.” Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, “Don’t worry about your life or about tomorrow because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Please don’t misunderstand me, I’m not saying we should run from reality and stick our heads in the sand, but it is very difficult to stay hopeful and courageous if you’re consuming a steady diet of fear and anger through the media, through your family, or through the community grapevine.

The apostle Paul told the Ephesians, “Now to him who is able to do far more than we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” So for the Christian, the question is this: Which power is more dominant in you, the power of God or the power of fear and anger? If we are top-heavy on gossip and bad news, we lose hope, but if we stock up on good news, which is God’s Word, we can be at peace. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah said, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is focused on you because he trusts in you.” Our hope is linked directly to where our mind is focused.

Everyone who wants to stay hopeful in a hope-robbing world should heed the apostle Paul’s advice to the Roman believers, “Whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” Where does encouragement come from? The scriptures! God wrote a book for you and me, so let’s grab hold of hope by reading what God has to say to us. It’s the vaccine for the ages.

Donald Emerson Walker, Sr., 83, of Hopedale, passed away Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2021, at his home surrounded by his family. He was born Nov. 3, 1938, in Belmont County, Ohio — a son of the late Melvin Emerson and Evelyn Walker. He was a member of Bethel United Methodist Church and the Hopedale American Legion Post #682.

He served in the Army Reserve during peacetime. He was a retired welder at the Consolidation Coal Company and a former member of the Jewett Sportsmen’s Club.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings Beverly Oberg, Melvin Walker, Jr., and Edith Wenner. Surviving is his wife of 62 years, Nancy Ann Tullis Walker; a son, Donald (Terrilynne) Walker II of Hopedale; a daughter, Debbie Walker of Cadiz; three grandchildren: Donald Walker III, Tammy (Michael Weaver and his daughter Brianna Weaver) Verhovec, and Thomas Verhovec, Jr.; three great-grandchildren: Kerstin and Carter Jeffries and Laken Stillwagon Walker; and his faithful dog Boomer.

Visitation will be on Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021, from 5-8 p.m. at the Clark-Kirkland-Barr Funeral Home in Cadiz, where the funeral service will be held on Friday at 11 a.m. with Lay Minister Dorman Mader officiating.

The memorial guestbook may be signed at www.clark-kirkland-barr.com.

Robert Lewis Hauber

Robert Lewis Hauber passed into eternal rest on July 29, 2021, at the age of 80, in his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born Dec. 31, 1940, to the late Clarence and Elsie (Snyder) Hauber of Jewett and graduated from Jewett High School in 1958. After graduation, Lew joined the Air Force, where he served his country honorably in North Africa.

Upon his return, he attended the College of Steubenville, where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Education. He then went on to pursue a Master’s Degree from Dayton University. Lew started his teaching career at Scio High School in 1966, where he taught History and Driver’s Education for 15 years. In 1981, through hard work and foresight, he and his teaching friend Roger Perkins started Belmont Development Company. Some of their early accomplishments included building Hilltop Apartments in Scio, the Condominiums above Union Country Club in New Philadelphia, and multiple housing and shopping developments in Minerva. In 1987, he founded Belmont Properties Inc., a successful property management company in Cadiz. His vision and dedication built Belmont Properties portfolio to 52 apartment complexes, and the pride he took in his company was immense.

Lew enjoyed being outdoors and working on his farm, Highland Acres, where he raised many different types of livestock over the years.

This was a hobby for him that he continued throughout his life. Although he was an avid farmer, his true passion was with his horses.

Starting at a young age, Lew owned many horses and raced them at

various tracks across the country. He owned part of the Meadowlands farm in Pennsylvania, where he kept horses and prepped them for races.

Lew was extremely generous with his time, guidance, and helpfulness. His countless charitable acts, almost all anonymous, were important to him. He wanted to give back to the local community and never sought recognition. He was a true philanthropist.

He is predeceased by his brother, Larry; sister Kay “Toots” Jones; and grandson Jared Wade. He is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Sue, daughters Kim (Mike) Wade, Jayme (Dave) Wheeler, and son Ryan; grandchildren: Grant (Megan), Erik (Karen), Brent (Kristi); great-grandchildren: Brandon, Olin, Garrett, Erika, Grayson, Sawyer, Aubrie; sisters: Gay Bossetti, Connie Hauber, Jim (Becky) Hauber; godson Dave Jones; and dear friend of the family, Bill Marks. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.

Visiting hours are Tuesday, August 3 from 5 to 8 p.m. at St. James Lutheran Church in Jewett. A celebration of Lew’s life will be held at St. James on Wednesday, August 4 at 11 a.m., with Pastor Bill Surber officiating. Following the service, interment will be held at Fairview cemetery. Koch Funeral Home, Scio has been entrusted with his arrangements. Contributions in memory of Lew can be made to the St. James Lutheran Church PO BOX 145 Jewett, OH 43986 or the Wounded Warrior Project at www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

BY DEB MILLIGAN The fair was on July 30 and 31, with great weather and a good turnout. Friday night was the parade with 50 units led by Harrison County Sheriff Joe Myers and flag crew Mason Miles-Heath, Lauren Doane, Tyson Anderson, Landon Koch, and John Yoder.

And the royalty crowning named Ensley Stine as Princess; Caroyln Carpenter came in second place and Savannah Brown in third. Jamison Kuhn was named Prince, with Sutton Rogoli in second and Todd Glazer third. The Fireman’s Fair held a eat stand and had a raffle along with several games. Freeport United Methodist Church had face painting, a dunking machine, and Big Party Rents Inflatables enjoyed by everyone. The evening ended with classic rock music by Placebo Jones.

Saturday activities featured a craft show with several tables, including Buckeye Trail face painting, Ohio Wildlife Officer Game Warden Nick Turner, Harrison Soil & Water Conservation, Harrison County D.A.R.E. officer Cody Smith, Tippecanoe firemen, the

Family Recovery Center, a STAT MedEvac, K-9 unit Greg Corder, Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater, and a kid’s pedal tractor pull with 27 children. Pedal pull trophies were won by Broxton Bissett, Malson Kimble, Wyatt Ferrell, and Colt Bissett. The life flight landed behind Presbyterian Church with pilot Dan McFall, nurse Danny Vallera, and medic Tammy Littell. The firemen held an NEWS-HERALD auction when they auctioned off 218 items donated to the department. The fire department wishes to thank everyone who donated and purchased items to make the action a success, with special thanks to Glady Dunlap and Mickey Gross, who got the eat stand together. Bluegrass Band Gypsy Cowboys played the music.

To end the evening, Kinsley Carter was named Queen, runner-ups Taylor Stine and Kenzleigh Brown. King Elizan Lawver, along with the prince and princess, made a total of $3026.06. Prize winners were $25 for Ginger Anderson and Mark Eliott, $50 for Lisa Marshall and Tacy Erb, and $100 for Sandy Shepperd and Michelle Gardner.

SPELLING BEE FROM PG.-1

time to be successful and not procrastinate,” Fletcher said, also adding that those who participated but didn’t win were still successful. “All your hard work wasn’t for nothing. OK, so maybe you didn’t move on, and nobody recognized those gruesome hours you spent studying, but the important thing is you built character. Dedication, passion, life skills, and a deeper level of intellect are all things you’ve gained. If that isn’t winning, I don’t know what is.”

Jefferson County Educational Service Center Gifted coordinator Linda Lenzi proctored Fletcher, believed to have gone the farthest among local contenders in the national competition and had nothing but praise for the bright, young student.

“She was a wonderful, dedicated girl. Her enthusiasm for the bee was one I haven’t seen in a while,” Lenzi said, adding that Fletcher participated at the JCESC location in Steubenville.

“This was her first bee, and she was a great person to represent the Ohio Valley. It took her a lot of time to get this far with a lot of studying, and she made my job easy.” It was also Lenzi’s first time to proctor the bee, adding that the pressure was on for the virtual competition. Proctors were required to email event judges within 15 minutes after her round or students faced elimination. It also added pressure on students who worked via computer, but she said Fletcher handled it all with aplomb.
