conditions were undesirable, and the Buckeye Trail Warriors delivered every blow from the top rope last Friday night in Guernsey County. However, the Huskies escaped with a 21-14 hard-fought victory to remain unbeaten on the 2021 campaign. “Tonight was a total team victory. For the first time in this young year, we had to deal with some adversity. The field was a mess. It was hot.

Our starting running back/linebacker left the game with an injury. We were certainly faced with some questions,” remarked head coach Anthony Hayes following his squad’s second victory of the season. The Warriors and Huskies hadn’t laced them up since 2014, a game that the Huskies squeaked past 20-19 on the road. Much like the season opener against Claymont, the Buckeye Trail matchup was a new but familiar face added to the schedule this season. In the early years of Harrison’s consolidation, the Huskies and Warriors linked up in four consecutive seasons,
SCIO—On Monday, Congressman Bill Johnson (R, District 6) stopped to answer questions on his time at the Scio Williams plant after attending a roundtable discussion on energy. Policy updates and regulatory concerns were exchanged, and Johnson was informed of current events in the industry and federal issues the energy industry is facing. The 45-minute conference was not open to the public but was represented by six companies, according to Mike Chadsey, director of public relations for the Ohio Oil and Gas Association. “We’re sitting on top of some of the richest reserves of oil and gas in the world,” Johnson explained, “and America is leading the way in the production of natural gas and gas-fired electric power [and] some of the cleanest forms of electric power generated on the planet.” Johnson talked of meeting those companies and touring the plant because of the resources they have. When asked about the two new companies

On the opening drive, Huskies wide receiver Tre Rex hauled in a 26-yard toss from Hayden Cassidy. Nathan Bertolino followed that up with a 20yard run that pushed the Huskies deep inside Trail territory. From there, freshman Cameron Mcafee pulled down a Cassidy pass in the flats “Today, the Ohio Department of Health amended and maneuvered his way into the end its zone for remaining health order to conform to the new

It’s all in the name: EZ Does It. It’s a local veteran-owned business that was founded in 2020. Yes, COVID was a factor in its foundWriter’s Titleit’s been something that owner and ing, but founder Eric Zeigler has “wanted to do for the Crossword Text better part of a decade.” According to Zeigler, EZ Does It is best described as a “maintenance solution business Crossword Text that specializes in handyperson projects.” And while his handyman operation typically deals on a smaller scale, he does both commercial and residential work. He doesn’t hire crews of construction workers or subcontractors — it’s mostly a one-man band. And that matHARRISON

ters because Zeigler is experienced enough to complete any number of different projects on his own. “I’m well-versed in a lot of different things that are construction-related and repair-related.” COVID was the stepping stone for EZ Does It; it left Zeigler unemployed and looking for work, so EZ Does It came out of necessity. The know-how was already there, though. He couldn’t reach through to Ohio in 2020 after getting laid off and couldn’t receive unemployment. So he felt like it was the best time to kickstart the business despite the challenge of turning a pandemic profit. But he found a flexible system that allowed him to get the work done quickly and stay vigilant to COVID: “A come-to-you business seems to really resonate with people that’s trying to social distance, as well. It’s worked out fairly well. It’s filled the void. Things are picking back up, and [I’ve] done a lot of projects and been able to keep the lights on and food on the table.” “EZ” comes from Eric Zeigler’s initials, but the play on words also encapsulates what he wants the business to be: convenient — for everyone. And while the convenience is a huge advantage, keep this in mind: The handyman venture is more than just doing odd jobs; it’s a reflection of Zeigler’s life and a culmination of the knowledge he’s gathered. For starters, he mentioned that his upbringing — what he calls a “blessed upbringing” — has helped contribute tremendously to the knowledge that he can and does showcase through EZ Does It. Growing up, Zeigler gained valuable hands-on experience with commercial and residential construction by helping his father, a master carpenter. And he continued that if he wasn’t working construcSee EZ DOES IT Pg.- 10

The new stage facility at Sally Buffalo Park is a step closer to reality with the recent announcement by Cadiz Village Council and Mayor John Migliore. They have passed and signed an ordinance to proceed with building plans for a new outdoor stage at Sally Buffalo Park. A fundraising drive has been initiated that will continue through the remainder of the year. Seed monies have been established by a grant through the State Legislature’s Capital Bill to help get the project started. Envisioned for the stage are summer concert series and special events like Blues for a Cure, Harrison Central band and choral concerts, local artists, and theatrical performances. There are also plans to host at least one or two national touring artists per season with adequate funding. Having a performing arts venue like this and hosting this type of entertainment helps make Harrison County a vibrant, exciting place to live. The long-term value of the facility has been seen by others who are also stepping up to show support. Funding commitments have been made by the Harrison County Visitors Center, Cadiz Community Improvement Corporation, Ohio Facilities Construction Commission, South Central Power, and other businesses and individuals in the community. However, additional funding is still needed. It is often said: “It takes a community.” The
