Carothers pleads guilty in rape, sexual battery case

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ—The 56-year-old Michael Carothers of Scio pleaded guilty Tuesday to two felony counts involving a minor. It took over 30 minutes for Judge T. Shawn Hervey to read all the parameters in Michael Carothers’ case; he repeatedly explained the defendant’s options, but Carothers dragged the process out. Carothers eventually pleaded guilty to one count of rape, a first-degree felony, and a second count of sexual battery, a third-degree felony. A third-degree charge of unlawful sexual conduct involving a minor was dropped. Carothers requested a furlough to visit his “dying” mother, who lives in a neighboring state, but Judge Hervey made it clear that under no circumstances would he be permitted to leave the state of Ohio, which Carothers acknowledged. “The court will be willing to give you a limited furlough for a limited amount of time to see your mother,” Hervey explained. “But you cannot leave the state of Ohio. There is no way, no how that would ever happen.” But arrangements were made by a family member to bring Carothers’ mother to Ohio to make a visitation happen. Carothers waffled between accepting the state’s offer of eight years in prison and trying

4 bids announced for Scio’s wastewater-clarifier project BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ—Scio’s multi-million dollar wastewater project is being addressed piece by piece. On Wednesday, four bids were announced at the Harrison County Commissioners meeting for the village’s wastewater-clarifier project. The low bid came from Border Patrol for $556,291, with Workman Industrial of Canton coming in second with an offer of $573,492. The other two bids came from OhioWest Virginia Excavating Co. ($696,345) and S.E.T. of Youngstown ($673,000). Ryan Schuster of the engineering firm The Thrasher Group, who is working with the village of Scio, announced the bids, and the commissioners tabled them for further review. The village has been awarded a grant for $489,100 by OMEGA, which the commissioners will oversee.

to create his own conditions, coming up with different negotiations each time Judge Hervey explained his options. He also stated that he would only accept the deal if he could see his mother. Carothers later asked if there was a way to pay for his crime (possibly financially) without serving time; the state disregarded the request. Carothers’ attorney, public defender C. Adrian Pincola, explained that Carothers needed to comply with the terms of the furlough before being sentenced, which was left to a later date. After Carothers remarked that he had told the truth about what he did and accused others of lying, Pincola explained that his client had not viewed the “videotaped confession” where he willingly took part. Judge Hervey informed Carothers that the state could reindict him and add additional charges if he refused to take the plea offer. After further explanation, Carothers told Hervey he did not want to “die in here [prison] and get stabbed.” Carothers ultimately acquiesced and accepted the state’s offer of eight years in prison and lifetime sex offender status (Tier 3). Carothers was facing a total of 11 years for the rape charge and another five for sexual battery if convicted at trial. Judge Hervey also ordered an Ohio Risk Assessment for Carothers. He is being held on a $75,000 bond.

Commissioners approve aid to Harrisville BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ—Bob Allen of E.L. Robinson Engineering returned to the Harrison County Commissioners last Wednesday to share additional information on the Harrisville storm sewer issue. Allen felt two areas of concern might become a problem, with water potentially blowing out onto private property. Allen asked if there was any leftover money that could be used to take care of the issue. “It is an issue, and eventually, it’s going to be an erosion issue in the private property, so we would like to, if you’re agreeable, to use remaining funds for replacing that line,” Allen told the board. The commissioners gave their approval.

Scio discusses military banners, park bathrooms, Fowler Ave. closure BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer The Scio village council met on Wednesday, Oct. 13 to discuss several topics. One of the first topics they addressed was the military flags being hung in the village. There will be information provided to the citizens in the future to proceed with this project. Also discussed were several pending projects, including the annexation of the areas receiving municipal water and sewer utility services. An annexation appeal was filed on Sept. 29. A court date has not yet been set. The water line project involving Brown, Maple, Walnut, and Grandview Streets has

been partially funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission grant, while a CDBG grant is in the process. The council also briefly talked about the collection system on Fowler Avenue. A two-day street closure will be required, and a one-lane restriction will be implemented until the project is finished. Restrooms at the park have been experiencing problems, and the council decided that the bathrooms will remain closed unless the park is rented. Wrapping up the meeting, the council concluded with water line repairs, the bids received for the clarifier for the WWTP, purchasing salt for the upcoming winter, patching roads, and the auction of the old ODOT building, which sold for $19,000.

Harrison County engineer Doug Bachman told the commissioners at Wednesday’s meeting that since Industrial Park Road is in the corporation limit, the speed is 35 miles per hour. He said as the result of accidents at the intersection of Route 9, discussions have taken place on how to make it safer. He said the limit changed because of the Ohio Revised Code.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I would like to take this time to recognize and honor Dwight Busby and his family for their commitment to the youth of Jewett and the surrounding area. Dwight had a vision that he and his family turned into the Jewett Wildcat Community Center. With family and friends, Dwight came up with the haunted house that runs every weekend in October to help pay expenses for the building, give scholarships, and help others in the community in 2012. And it has continued to get better and better every year. There are still several people volunteering to work that have been there since day one: Tammy and Danny Dray, Lori and Ally Kuntz, Chris Busby, Courtney and Bill Dray, Chris and Kasey Edwards, Denise Whiteman, Twig Kaufman, Colleen Francis, Bobby and Cindy Francis, and Chuck Woods. Over the years, over 300 people from Jewett and the surrounding communities, from five to 70+ years old, have volunteered to work and decorate their own areas —at mostly their own expense — to make it the success it is today. For many years, entire families worked the haunted house every weekend together. What a great way for a family to be together. Dwight passed away this year, and daughter Tammy and Danny Dray picked up the reins to run the haunted house to keep Dwight’s

dream alive. In 2014 the Russ Arbaugh family started a corn maze to coincide with the haunted house and has donated all the money to the Jewett Wildcat Community Center — heartfelt thanks for their commitment to our community. The Community Center also hosts Biddy Basketball every year for grades four through six. This has also been done by Tammy and Danny Dray since the center opened. They actually ran the Biddy Basketball league while the building was a school. Other things that have been hosted at the Wildcat Center include movie nights, laser guns, and dances. Along with being rented out for parties and used for town meetings. It was also opened up during the winter months for people who wanted to walk for exercise. Regardless of what was being hosted, costs have always been kept down so families could afford to do things together. Thank you so much, Dwight “Buzz” Busby and family, for the dedication to the village and people of Jewett and surrounding areas. Thank you, Tammy and Danny Dray, for keeping the vision alive by taking charge and running all the activities at the Jewett Wildcat Community Center. Sincerely, RUTH BLACKBURN, JEWETT CITIZEN

New Athens looking to answer pump plant’s water flow questions BY SHAWN DIGITY twitter@DIGITYnodoubt The New Athens council met Monday for their October meeting. While other topics were discussed in old business, the water flow issues worked back into the limelight. Water flow in the sewers that travel down to the wastewater plant near the Route 9 branch-off has been a recurring theme over the past several months. But the problem gets exacerbated every time there’s heavy rain. Council member Mark Arnold had reached out to the plant’s project engineer Jeff Carr (ADR and Associates), who facilitated the Earthtek plant’s installation, to get more information. Arnold corresponded with Carr about the sewage plant. “You’re getting surface water from something,” Arnold relayed from Carr. He suggested to Arnold that the next time New Athens receives a big rain, have someone go out and “start popping manholes.” According to Carr, that’ll help isolate the problem area. Theoretically, following actual water flow could expound the location of flow interruptions. But it’s a game of chance. If the manhole idea produces the answer, it could take any number of attempts to reveal the correct cover. However, in this context (and what Carr suggested), the heavy rain that slogs down the plant could be advantageous since the inundation in the sewers could make any hindrances observable. The pump station is put to the test every time there’s heavier precipitation. “It overpollutes the tank in the plant. That tank’s clear full, and then no more can come in there. It comes up out of the ground,” Arnold revealed. But it’s more than just rainfall deluges that are overworking the plant, according to mayor Joe Petro. The biggest underlying issue is the debris that plugs up the filters in the plant’s tanks. Tiny, natural holes in the filters can easily be blocked by the insoluble debris that is getting flushed: cardboard, cigarette butts,

and tampons. It was the same issue earlier in the summer when discussing the plant, and according to Arnold, the trash is still finding its way into the tanks. When the debris backs up the filter — and consequently the tanks — it stresses the entire system’s limits, which could’ve been the cause for leaks somewhere else along the line. When the tank is full, the water must go somewhere, so it reroutes through any breaches and propagates through the manholes or the ground outside the plant’s fence. Arnold also speculated the water flow has been diverted at some point doing groundwork, and it has been accidentally redirected toward the plant, straining the pumps further and keeping public utilities supervisor Matt Litman, Jr. frequently checking in on the EarthTek sewage plant. So not only is the plant taking up manpower, but it’s nickeling and diming the village: “It’s slowly eating into us,” Arnold admitted. But Petro expressed earlier in the meeting that finding any leaks or stoppages in the sewage system will ultimately cost the village anyway if they have to do smoke tests or get a camera in the pipes. And that’s not even considering actual labor to remedy a leak. But the labor being dedicated to the pump now is tapping into time and effort that could be going toward other village projects. “We can’t keep having a guy work 30 hours a week in the plant,” Arnold expressed. But for now — and with Carr’s advice — Arnold and Petro agreed that weekly readings of the pump station could be beneficial; they ought to be watched regardless, Arnold added. “Obviously, we can’t fix this,” Arnold said. He suggested beginning to get estimates for engineering processes behind the locating and rectifying of water stoppages. But as of October’s meetings, New Athens will tabulate pump station numbers to get better data on the plant’s performance, and Arnold and Petro concluded that’s all they could do for now: monitor the pumps and its readings. “That’s all we can do,” Petro concluded.

Commissioners declare October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month BY JD LONG jiim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ—Representatives from the Tri-County Help Center appeared before the Harrison County Commissioners on Wednesday to seek approval for a resolution to recognize October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Legal advocate for the Help Center, Shaylynn Rush, received unanimous support from the board in approving the proclamation. “The problem of domestic violence affects all citizens of Harrison County and is not confined to any particular race, gender, age, social, religious, ethnic, geographic or

economic group,” per Rush’s reading of the resolution. She stated one in three teens, one in four women, and one in seven men “will experience domestic violence during their lifetime,” and one out of every 15 children will be exposed to it. The financial impact was covered as well, with $3.6 trillion in “lifetime economic costs” involving medical, lost work, and the criminal justice system. The Help Center’s efforts in 2020 involved giving shelter to 30 people (and children) for a combined 859 nights of safety, providing another 142 with legal advocacy, counseling 547 individuals, and taking 190 crisis hotline calls. Rush said a march is scheduled for Oct. 20, starting at the St. Clairsville office.

Cadiz approves buyback for police car; East Market’s abandoned gas station discussed BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ—A police vehicle that the Cadiz Police is currently leasing will be purchased after the Cadiz council approved a buyback at last Thursday’s meeting for up to $14,000. Treasurer Amy Ossman said tickets given out by police would help make the monthly payments.

In addition to the police vehicle, council member Eric Miller addressed certain properties that are not being kept up, like the abandoned gas station along East Market Street. In unrelated news, the council also agreed to remain with their insurance company, Aultra, but it comes with a 4% increase. An ordinance will be presented at the next meeting for that purpose.

Mental Health and Recovery Board meeting coming next week The regular meeting of the Mental Health and Recovery Board will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 19 at 6 p.m. at the MHR Board Office. Guests may attend at the Board Office (99 N. Sugar Street, St. Clairsville, Ohio).

New report shows life-saving benefits of COVID-19 vaccines COLUMBUS—The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a report showing that COVID-19 vaccinations in Ohio may have helped prevent roughly 13,000 new COVID-19 infections, 5,300 hospitalizations, and 1,800 deaths among seniors in Ohio during the first five months of 2021. The study, conducted by researchers with HHS’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, reviewed associations between Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries and the proportion of the fully vaccinated population at the county level between January and May 2021. The study also found that nationally, vaccinations were linked to a reduction of approximately 265,000 COVID-19 infections, 107,000 hospitalizations, and 39,000 deaths among Medicare beneficiaries between January and May 2021. “This report further puts numbers to something I have long said: ‘Vaccines save lives,’” explained Ohio Department of Health Director Bruce Vanderhoff, MD, MBA. “COVID-19 has taken the lives of more than 22,000 Ohioans, has hospitalized more than 74,000, and has caused more than 1.4 million infections. The remarkable COVID-19 vaccines can help prevent severe illness and death from COVID-19 and will prevent dangerous

variants from taking hold.” Ohio data shows that of those hospitalized with COVID-19 since January 2021, more than 96% were not reported to be fully vaccinated. “Our vaccination goals have remained consistent: save lives and slow the spread by protecting Ohio’s most vulnerable individuals,” said Ursel J. McElroy, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. “Understanding there would be potential barriers to getting vaccinated, we worked with partners to remove those barriers, inform people about the vaccine, and make the vaccine accessible.” Governor DeWine prioritized vaccination of vulnerable Ohioans: those in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, state psychiatric hospitals, veterans homes, and congregate care settings for people with developmental disabilities. Ohio also moved quickly and was one of the first states in the country to put in place a vaccine maintenance program for long-term care settings to ensure every staff member and resident has a continuous opportunity to get vaccinated. While today’s report shows the clear benefit of COVID-19 vaccines for older Ohioans, it remains critically important for

Board of Elections passes emergency resolutions after ballot documentation snafu BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com

CADIZ—The Harrison County Board of Elections passed two emergency resolutions Wednesday to place Hopedale’s tax levy renewal and Green Township’s cemetery levy on the November ballot. Making the process more complicated, the two issues missed their deadline; when their corresponding resolutions were delivered — supposedly to the building housing the Board of Elections — the individual who signed for the document containing the official resolutions did not submit them to the Board, according to director Dion Troiano. The individual who received the documents did not sign legibly and did not print their signed name. Troiano said they have no idea what happened to the signed and delivered document because they never received it. According to Troiano, the issue was discovered when Hopedale treasurer Denise Geanangel and Green Township trustee James Ward inquired about the ballot issue. “Somebody signed for it March 23,” Troiano said of the documents from Hopedale and Green Township. However, he stated that neither he nor anyone in the office of the BOE

signed that tracking receipt. “We do not know who signed for it. We do not recognize the signature,” Troiano explained. “And we were open by appointment only, so yeah, we don’t know who signed for it, but whoever signed for it did not give it to us,” he said on the document’s March delivery. “I don’t remember ever seeing an envelope with any kind of green tracking stamp, barcode, number, anything like that, that the U.S. Post Office would have put on it,” Troiano continued. No one else in the Board of Elections office recalled seeing the package, either. “We cannot find it in this office or any of the filing cabinets we have that are ours,” he said, stating it could have been someone in other parts of the building or even next door. But of the people they have asked, no one has been able to identify the signature. Troiano said that when the Board contacted the Ohio Secretary of State’s legal team, they decided it should not be on the ballot because of the missed deadline. But Troiano said Director of Elections Amanda Grandjean placed the decision back onto the Harrison County Board of Elections. Now both issues will be on the November ballot.

MWCD releases Suspect arrested drawdown schedule after 110-mph chase NEW PHILADELPHIA—As part of the flood risk management operation of the reservoirs and dams in the Muskingum River Watershed, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducts annual temporary drawdown of the normal pool elevation of the lake levels. The drawdown allows for additional flood storage capacity need during the winter thaw and spring rains. Drawdown will begin in early November, and the return to normal pool elevation will initiate in February; normal pool elevations will be obtained in time for the summer recreation season. The temporary 2021–2022 drawdown lake levels include Atwood to be drawn down 8 feet; Charles Mill, 5 feet; Clendening, 5 feet; Leesville, 8.75 feet; Piedmont, 5 feet; Pleasant Hill, 6 feet; and Seneca and Tappan 8 feet each.

BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ—Early Monday morning, Cadiz Police received a report of a drunk driver on Route 9 near Industrial Park Road. When police caught up to the motorist, he sped up and was clocked at 110 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone. Lt. Ron Carter and officer Tim Skinner were on the chase, witnessing the 26-year-old Anthony Stephen of West Virginia repeatedly swerving across the road. Stephen’s vehicle was cut off and finally stopped, but he refused to exit the vehicle, forcing the officers to draw their weapons. As a result, the road was shut down, but Stephen relented and surrendered minutes later. Carter said Stephen tested at .168, well over the legal limit.

At Wednesday’s meeting, mayor Mike Pelegreen told the council that a metal roof would need to be installed, only the color was yet to be decided. Pelegreen said the chimney would also need to be removed, with repairs coming to $20,900. A shingled roof would eliminate $2,000 from the cost, though. He added that the repairs could be done quickly and that the tornado damage has mostly been cleaned up. The council agreed to go with a metal roof, and the motion was approved. Pelegreen talked about a tour he took of Hopedale and other villages and their water systems in preparation for their own project. He also spoke about finances and stated that the over $4 million was not affordable for the village’s water tanks. He said the range they were looking at now covered $2.7 to $3.1 million. Council also talked about repairs needed to patch some holes, like Bakers Addition and a few others. Council member Ron Hawkins said some cold patching would fix it but agreed it would be done next week. Also new basketball hoops were in place at the park, according to council member Don Jochims.

Lakeland improvements setting school up for 2022 growth BY JD LONG jim@harrisonnewsherald.com FREEPORT—The Lakeland Academy has experienced vast improvements over the past year: new flooring, a complete paint job, and a more professional look. President James Fleming stated that some of their COVID funds were used to pull up the old carpet and install a new vinyl floor. And the Academy has purchased the lot between the school and the old insurance building on Main Street. Fleming said they hope to extend the playground with more fencing in the future. Tuesday, Lakeland gathered for their October meeting and heard glowing reports from Joyce Lewis of Lake Erie West’s (the school’s sponsor) Educational Service Center. The financial statements recorded over $51,000 for their month-to-date receipt

and expenditures at $89,000. Treasurer Ethan Tice stated that it left them with a fund balance of $133,596.89. Their cash on hand showed 85 days, meaning that’s how many days the Academy could operate with no income. Tice said it was lower than previously reported but also up from several years ago. Tice stated that government funds spent totaled just over $46,400, which went toward supplies and tables for their new preschool. Tice reported 81 current students, also up from the past few years. For the five-year forecast, Tice predicted 10% growth for fiscal 2022, with a “big part” of it coming from preschool. For 2023 through 2026, Tice predicted a 3% growth rate, stating it was a “reasonable” estimate that could be met. The next scheduled meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 9.

Huskies snap skid with Homecoming victory

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

CADIZ—Last week was a big week for the Harrison Central Huskies. Homecoming Week has always brought with it all the extra activities, celebrations, parades, and so on. But there was simply more to it this year. The Huskies came into kickoff having dropped five in a row, desperately needing a victory to lift up a locker room that has been dealt multiple blows of adversity through the first seven weeks of the season. No Trevor Carman, no Cabot Arbaugh, now no Jonathan Vermillion — no problem! The three two-way standouts roamed the sidelines cheering and coaching up their teammates, as the Huskies (3-5) turned the visiting Edison Wildcats into a one-dimensional team en route to a 27-17 streak-snapping triumph. “This was a big win for our players and coaches. It has been a year full of unfortunate injuries, COVID concerns, etc. We lost another guy tonight. We have lost at least one starter every week for six straight weeks. So for our young guys and our remaining older guys to come out and battle every week no matter the outcome, that speaks volumes to their commitment to the program and to one another,” a relieved head coach Anthony Hayes stated following the game. Hayes and his Huskies have been through the grinder. After starting the season 2-0, a series of setbacks have undoubtedly worked against

his squad the past number of weeks. Last Friday night, however, all the remaining cylinders seemed to fire in unison. The Wildcats took the initial lead on a 32-yard Mason Montgomery field goal with 4:22 remaining on the first-quarter clock. The Huskies’ defense had been tested early, and a field goal stand was a positive building block in the right direction. Harrison would answer with just 45 seconds remaining in the opening frame. Nathan Bertolino, who has been playing dinged up for most of the year himself, busted through the Wildcat defense for a 28-yard touchdown run to put the Huskies in front. In a rare occurrence, the HC extra point attempt sailed wide, so the quarter would end with a 6-3 Harrison advantage. The first half would see four lead changes, with an exchange of two second-quarter scores. Edison’s Gage Cline put the Wildcats back in front with a 19-yard touchdown toss with 7:54 to go in the second. Montgomery added the PAT to give the visitors a 10-6 short-lived lead. Less than three minutes later, Harrison’s sophomore quarterback Hayden Cassidy and freshman wideout Cameron Mcafee connected a 27-yard pitch and catch. This time around, Jace Madzia’s extra point was on par, and the Huskies would ride out the 13-10 edge into the halftime intermission. For the first time since Week 1, the Huskies would enjoy the luxury of playing with a twopossession lead, even if it didn’t last very long. Nearly midway through the third quarter, emerging playmaker Tre Rex hauled in a 35yard scoring strike from Cassidy to put the Huskies up 20-10. The Wildcats responded two and a half minutes later, punching one in on the ground from 10 yards out to cut the advantage to 20-17. That Wildcat touchdown came with 5:02 on the third-quarter clock, and the visitors would have offensive possession back by quarter’s end, threatening to retake the lead. “We know that each week we will have a dogfight. Edison is a good football team who came in at 5-2. They were big up front. They have a QB who is 6’6; he can run, and he has a See HUSKIES Pg.- 8

Lady Huskies soccer holds on for win over Coshocton BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer The Lady Huskies soccer team headed to Coshocton determined to finish the regular season with a victory. The Husky offense came out making great passes, and freshman Lily Gibbons scored the contest’s first goal ten minutes in. The first half was a hard-fought battle for both teams. Coshocton would advance downfield, but the Husky defenders, Rebecca Downs, Isabel Yeager, and Maggie Goudy, would hold back the charge. However, with seven minutes left in the first half, the Redskins scored off a corner kick and made the

halftime score 1-1. The Harrison Central offense continued showing excellent ball movement during the second half and controlled possession of the ball for most of the half. After being fouled six minutes into the half, Angie Ferri scored on a penalty kick to give the Huskies a 2-1 lead. Katherine Shearer recorded fifteen saves on the night, helping the Huskies to hold on for a 2-1 victory. The Coshocton game concludes the Harrison season, and the Huskies finished the regular season 7-8-1. The next contest for the Huskies will be a sectional tournament game at West Holmes on Oct. 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Huskies varsity boys soccer gets 2nd clean sheet

BY JULIE MARSHALL Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer It was a chilly, rainy evening when the Harrison Central varsity boys soccer team trekked to Magnolia for a match with the Sandy Valley Cardinals on Thursday, Oct. 7. The game was scoreless until 19 minutes left in the second half when junior Jace Madzia’s corner kick went soaring towards the bunchedup players in front of the Cardinal’s goal. Junior Kayden Jurosko trapped and passed the ball to sophomore Dean Forrester who planted it in the net for a Husky goal. Although this contest was chock full of Husky shots on goal, the only one to score gave the Huskies the victory 1-0. Sophomore goalkeeper Jaydis Yoho contributed by nabbing two saves for the Huskies. Head Coach Derek Gramling shook his head while commenting: “We had so many shots that didn’t go in! We kept shooting and shooting and shooting. It gave us another win on the road and our second clean sheet of the season.” Then on Tuesday, Oct. 12, the Huskies traveled to Beaver Valley Local to rival the Beavers. The Huskies’ huddle cry was not their typical “1, 2, 3 Huskies” Tuesday night but instead “1, 2, 3 Tyler” for one of their teammates that had been injured in a car accident and was still at the hospital. From the whistle, the Beavers were hungry to score and score, and they did just that 1 minute and 13 seconds into the game. Although Gramling questioned the goal due to

the Beavers’ being offsides at the time of the pass, it counted, and the Huskies had to shake it off and get their game face on; the battle would prove to be intense. Beaver Local scored again with 24 minutes remaining in the first half to raise the score 2-0. Eighteen minutes into the second half, the Huskies senior captain Ben Puskarich stole the ball and broke away from the Beavers for the goal that put the Huskies on the board 2-1. Moments later, the Beavers answered back with a shot that hit the left post and popped into the goal to make the score 3-1. With 19 minutes left, the Beavers’ corner kick and header netted them another goal, and it was 4-1. The Huskies fought back with two Madzia shots that were thwarted by the Beavers. The Beavers scored their final goal with 6 minutes left for a 5-1 tally. The game was riddled with penalties by the Beavers — 14 to be exact, and only one by the Huskies. Yoho had a good night in goal with 9 saves. Gramling stated, “We played well holding them to only 2 goals until midway into the second half. Our big Achilles heel tonight was that we got tired.” He continued, “Kaden Jurosko had the game of his life tonight and played like 3 guys. Our defense held the line really well to keep their players offsides. We played hard and got out with no injuries.” The Huskies will go into the playoffs next week healthy and eager for a win. They will play TriValley at home on Monday, Oct. 18 at 6:30 p.m.

HC Volleyball catches fire, defeats Martins Ferry BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer The Lady Huskies were on fire as they took on the Purple Riders of Martins Ferry on Thursday, Oct. 7 at Harrison Central. After a difficult 26-24 first-set victory, they would continue on claiming the final two sets with scores of 2517 and 25-10.

Acorns bring big benefits to Ohio’s wildlife

COLUMBUS—The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife annually surveys oak trees for acorn abundance at 38 wildlife areas. This year’s survey results showed an average of 40% of white oaks and 49% of red oaks bore fruit, meaning white oak production is slightly above average, and red oak production is slightly below average. “Many of Ohio’s native wildlife species depend on oak trees and the acorns they can produce by the thousands,” said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker. “More than 90 forest wildlife species depend on acorns for survival. A small sample of these species includes deer, squirrels, wild turkeys, woodpeckers, blue jays, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, mice, ruffed grouse, and wood ducks.” Division of Wildlife employees scan the canopies of selected oak tree wildlife areas to determine the percentage that produced acorns and the relative size of the acorn crop. This is the 17th year the Division of Wildlife has completed the acorn production survey. The proportion of white oaks bearing acorns increased 13% from 2020, while the red oak proportion decreased 20%. The long-term average for white oak acorn production is 37% and 55% for red oak acorn production. All results, including tables and historical numbers, can be found at wildohio.gov. In addition to determining the presence or absence of acorns, observers estimate the

percentage of each tree’s crown covered with acorns. The average crown coverage of acorns for white oaks was 10%, up significantly from last year’s 6% coverage and near the long-term average of 9.5%. The average crown cover for acorns for red oaks was 18%, a decrease from last year but near the long-term average of 20%. Acorns come in two basic types: red and white. They are divided into these groups based on the type of oak tree. Red oak acorns take two years to develop, and the acorns are bitter, containing a large amount of the chemical tannin. White oak acorns take only one year to develop and have a sweeter taste. As a critical food source for many forest wildlife species, acorn abundance has been linked to body condition, winter survival, and reproductive success. A year with low acorn abundance causes deer and other wildlife to move around more and search for food. Wild animals are more likely to feed near agricultural areas and forest edges in areas with poor acorn production. Oak trees have value beyond food and shelter for wildlife. Collect mature acorns in the fall and place them in a bucket of water. Keep the ones that sink and discard any that float, as those won’t germinate. Store the remaining acorns in the refrigerator or outside for at least eight weeks in the winter months. Plant the acorns under a shallow covering of soil in the early spring, water regularly, and enjoy seeing your new oak trees start to grow.

Ohio heads into peak time for deer-related crashes COLUMBUS—AAA, the Ohio Department of Insurance, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and Ohio Department of Natural Resources want to remind motorists of the increase in deer-related traffic crashes this time of year. Since 2016, Ohio State Highway Patrol statistics show 100,672 deer-related crashes on Ohio’s roadways. While 95% of deer-related crashes only resulted in property damage, 27 crashes resulted in fatal injuries to motorists, with 28 killed. Additionally, nearly half (47%) of these crashes occurred in October, November, and December. “As we enter the peak season for car-deer collisions in Ohio, I encourage drivers to use extra caution and slow down, especially at dawn or dusk when deer are more active,” said Governor DeWine. “A crash with a deer can be just as destructive as a crash with another vehicle, so it’s important that drivers remember to stay alert and watch out for animals crossing the road.” Some of the top counties for deer-related crashes include Stark, Richland, Lorain, Trumbull, and Hancock, with I-71, I-80, and U.S. 30 being the leading roadways in the state.

“Always avoid distractions and keep your full focus on the roadway,” said Colonel Richard Fambro of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. “If you see a deer, slow down, but do not swerve. If you strike a deer, move to a safe place if you are able, turn on your hazard lights, and report the crash.” According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), deer become visibly active from late October through November. This is due in large part to the fall breeding season. While males pursue prospective mates throughout the season, they often encounter females that are not yet willing to breed, resulting in pursuits where deer will dart into roadways with little caution. This unpredictable movement leads to an increase in deer-related vehicle crashes. Drivers are encouraged to be extra cautious in areas where fencerows, riparian corridors, or other blocks of forested habitat intersect a roadway. “As motorists have likely noticed, deer are very visible and active in the fall,” ODNR wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker said. “If you see one deer, be on the lookout for others nearby. Deer rarely run alone.”

The top figure represents the acorn percentages on a tree-by-tree basis; trees were tallied on whether they housed acorns or not. The second figure measured only trees that produced acorns and represent the estimated acorn coverage in a tree’s crown. Simply put, the tree’s crown is just the upper section of the tree that produces the branches and foliage. Measurements and statistics were done by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.

FROM THE SHERIFF’S DESK

October bringing sheriff’s Drug Take-Back Initiative

On Oct. 16 and 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting the Drug Take-Back Initiative. The Sheriff’s Office collected 56.03 pounds of unused and expired prescription medications in April 2021. The collected items were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Agency and properly disposed of. The sheriff’s office will have deputies at Cadiz’s Rite Aid and Custer Pharmacy stores on Oct. 16 and 23. The deputies will also be at Neimayer’s Pharmacy in Scio on Oct. 15 and 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose, and abuse. Pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs taken without a prescription

or a doctor’s supervision. The majority of teenagers abusing prescription drugs get them from friends or family members, usually from a home medicine cabinet. Unused prescription drugs thrown into the trash can may be retrieved and abused or illegally sold. Unused drugs flushed down the sewer system contaminate the water supply. The total amount of prescription drugs collected by DEA since 2010 is up to nearly 14,524,391 pounds. Sheriff Myers would like to thank all those individuals who participated in this initiative at the three pharmacy locations in the county where deputies were station, and remember the drop box in the Sheriff’s Office is always available in the lobby, 24 hours a day.

Sheriff Joe Myers is letting everyone know that anyone that comes into contact with him or a deputy will see they are sporting pink badges. The pink badges are worn in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which takes place every October. The badges will be worn every day during the month.

UPCOMINGEVENTS

New pastor taking the pulpit at Smithfield Christian Church BY ESTHER MCCOY Correspondent The Reverend Craig A. Smith of Mingo Junction is serving as pastor of the Smithfield Christian Church, starting on Oct. 3. He entered the ministry in 1998 at St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church in Smithfield. Smith received his training per the Doctrine and Discipline of African Methodist Episcopal Church Studies for Ministerial License and Theology Courses at West Liberty State College, was ordained in 2002, and has pastored to St. Clairsville, Steubenville, Mingo Junction, and Cadiz congregations. Rev. Smith also served as chaplain at the Eastern Ohio Correction Center for minimum offenders. Smith graduated from Smithfield High School in 1972, the last year of the Spartans. He and his wife, Debbie, live in Mingo Junction, where they raised their children. Pastor Wilford Simeral retired from the church at the end of September after 28 years in the pulpit. He was the community Bible school chairman for over 10 years and planned the Smithfield Christmas services held by each individual church in the area. A dinner was held to say goodbye to Simeral, who was presented a gold pocket watch by the congregation at the Farm Inn in Emerson.

Good NEWS Childlikness By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harriville United Methodist Churches PastorKenStaley@gmail.com

Have you come to that point in life yet where you realize you don’t have it all together? King David did. He wrote Psalm 131, one of the shortest Psalms to read and one of the hardest to accomplish. The Passion translation of the Bible words its three simple verses this way: “Lord, my heart is meek before you. I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head — such as your complex mysteries and wonders — that I’m not yet ready to understand. I am

humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child, and my soul is content in you. O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting upon the Lord now and forever.” Amazing words from a worldlywise king and military tough guy. But, as David laments, most of this stuff was over his head, and he was tired of trying to figure it all out.” Are you there yet? There comes a point where we must become childlike in our trust of God and the quietness and simplicity of our lifestyle. Why do people wear themselves out? For what? The apostle Paul told his apprentice Timothy, “We brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out. If we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.” As the old saying goes, “You’ll never see a U-Haul following a hearse to the cemetery.” King David said he was like a contented or weaned child resting on its mother’s lap. That’s where all of us must get to if we are going to

make it through this life in one piece. It could be tough for the more macho among us to assume that attitude, but that’s exactly where Jesus said we should be in Matthew 18 when the disciples asked him who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus called a small child and had him stand among them: “Truly I tell you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child — this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” It makes no sense to the adult mind, but we need to go backward in time to regain the trust, contentment, and simple faith that we had as children. That’s how our heavenly father wants us to be. The most difficult part for some folks will be taking the initiative to actually quiet their own soul and invest the time in themselves to rest in the Lord. David did it, and he even ran a country. If he did it, so can we. “O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting upon the Lord now and forever.

OBITUARIES Andrew B. Toth Andrew B. Toth, Jr., 73, of Dillonvale, Ohio passed away Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021 in the Weirton Medical Center in Weirton, West Virginia. Andy was born Feb. 22, 1948 in Palendorf, Austria, son of the late Andreas and Elvira (Meyers) Toth. He was a retired superintendent and master carpet, with the Carpenter’s Local 186 in Steubenville, Ohio. Andy was an avid Ohio State Buckeyes and Miami Dolphins fan. Andy is survived by his wife, Dorothy J. (McHugh) Toth, whom he married Feb. 3, 1968; four sons, Andrew Toth of Cadiz, Ohio, Brian (Michelle) Toth of Ashtabula, Ohio, and Thomas and Kerry (Elizabeth) Toth, both of Smithfield, Ohio; six grandchildren, Kaitlin, Zachary, Aryanna, Andrew Dean, Nola, and Lucidity; two sisters, Lorrie (Charles) Greene of Dillonvale, and Tina (William) Corder of Carrollton, Ohio; six brothers, Wilfred (Cindy) Toth of New Jersey, Frank (Raylene) Toth of Toronto, Ohio, Ernie Toth of Rayland, Ohio, Robert Toth of Iowa, Richard Toth of Oklahoma, and Michael (Sally) Toth of Reynoldsburg, Ohio. There will be no visitation, and a service for Andy will be held at the convenience of his family. Carol Hill Carol Sue (Thompson) Hill, 77, Adena, Ohio, traded her earthly body on October 7, 2021, and went to walk among the angels after a heroic 8-year battle with cancer. Born October 6, 1944, in Adena, Ohio, she was predeceased by her parents, Walter and Lila Thompson, brothers William (Doris) Durbin and Robert Thompson, and sister, Luella (Raymond) Bailey, and most recently by her husband, Terry Hill. Left behind to cherish her memory are her sister, Mary Lou (Larry) Bartrug; daughters Tammy Theriot (Scott Nifong) and Diana Hill (Tee) Thompson; sons Dwain (Krysta) Hill and Randy (Iris) Cologie, and Mark (Misty) Touville; sister-in-law Betty Thompson; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews; and many friends. She was a 1962 graduate of Adena High School and a member of Post 525 American Legion Auxiliary, where she had been past president, treasurer, and Poppy Day chair. She was a member of the Adena United Methodist Church, but more importantly, a woman of faith. Carol Sue was a daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to all she met, but more importantly, she was a mother, stepmother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, team mother, band mother, class mother, and “like a mother” to others’ kids — and all these kids were proud to call her mom. In her career with the Jefferson County Library System, her work with the summer reading program at Adena Library touched the lives of many local children. She was small but mighty, battling Lymphoma like a heavyweight. She would tell you: “If you get the choice to sit it out or dance, just dance.” The family would like to thank Dr. Porsche Beetham and Dr. Mohammad Rahman and their staffs, the Teramana Cancer Center, Valley Hospice, as well as friends and family members who have been by our side or kept us close in prayer. Friends will be received on Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021, 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at Borkoski Funeral Home (60 South Bridge Street) in Adena, Ohio. Services will be held Friday at 11:00 a.m. with Reverend Barry Hall officiating. Interment will follow at Holly Memorial Gardens in Pleasant Grove. Donations can be made to the Teramana Cancer Center, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, or a charity of your choice. Offer online condolences to the family at www.borkoskifuneral.com.

Mark Beetham passed away at Trinity Hospital West in Steubenville, Ohio, with his beloved wife, Vickie, at his side. The cause of death was a breakthrough case of COVID-19. Mark was born on May 19, 1951 in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from Cadiz High School in 1969 and The Ohio State University with a B.S., cum laude in 1972. He then received his Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School in 1975. After law school, he returned to Cadiz, Ohio to practice law with his father, Thomas D. Beetham. Mark began his law career with his father until his passing in 1998. During his law career, Mark served as assistant prosecuting attorney for Harrison County from 1975-1981; solicitor of the village of Jewett, Ohio from 1985-1987; solicitor of the village of New Athens, Ohio from 1985-1988; solicitor of the village of Freeport 1985-1992; solicitor of the Village of Cadiz from 1985-1992; County Court Judge of Harrison County, Ohio appointed by Governor George Voinovich in 1992 and by Governor Robert Taft in 2003. He was elected in 2004 and reelected in 2006, 2012, and 2018. Mark was the longestserving County Court Judge in the history of Harrison County. Being a lawyer and a judge was his highest calling. One of his greatest joys and delight was interacting with his staff and the countless attorneys appearing before him or across the aisle in private practice. He remembered all of them and had so many stories. Mark was most proud of his wife, Vickie Kay (Michelli) Beetham; his children Gwendolyn Anne Beetham, Thomas Owen Beetham, and Morgan de Beetham; and his grandchildren, Phoebe Olivia Beetham, Adeline Depew Beetham, and Carter Anna Beetham. Mark is survived by the love of his life and wife, Vickie.

big-time arm. They presented a lot of potential problems for us, but our kids rose up to the challenge,” Hayes remarked. Rose up indeed. To open up the fourth, the Huskies would have to keep Edison from the pylons, and that wouldn’t be an easy task as the Wildcats were deep in the red zone at the Harrison 10-yard line. What ensued was a defensive stand that forced another Wildcat field goal attempt. Edison’s Montgomery had already proven earlier in the contest he could boot it, so as the snap-and-hold exchange went off without issue, the packed stadium looked on with anticipation of a tied-up ballgame. While the snap and hold were true to form, the kick hit the left upright and fell to the turf. The Harrison defense stood strong; now, the offense had to finish the fight. With the Wildcats on the ropes, the series of final blows came with under four minutes remaining, as Cassidy scrambled for an 18-yard touchdown run and Mcafee picked off Cline on the possession that followed that. Hidden in all of the scoring was a valiant effort out of Harrison punter-kicker Jace Madzia. He routinely managed favorable field position for his team, including a big call in the second half when he drew a roughing the kicker penalty. Hayes didn’t fail to realize it. “Another key for us tonight was more strong kicking from Jace [Madzia]. He got us out of some bad positions with his leg. He stayed in there tough tonight with pressure in his face,” Hayes said of Madzia. “I’m just proud of our kids. I know that sounds like a pretty general and simple statement, but the depth of it is greater than most could realize. This is a close group of kids playing their guts out for one another. They know how special it is to wear that HC on their helmet, and they respect that. We have another big one coming next week,” the coach continued. Harrison now holds a commanding 12-1 lead in the all-time series with Edison, winning the last eight games against the Wildcats. Indian Creek and Buckeye Local close out the 2021 schedule. The Huskies currently sit in 16th of the Ohio Division V Region 17 playoff rankings. For the first year ever, the OHSAA will advance the top 16 teams in each region to the playoffs.

Dear Ann, I’ve tried every diet there is to try. I’ve been keto, I’ve been on the Atkins diet, I’ve done weight watchers...I can’t seem to make healthy habits. What is your advice on approaching food without having to buy into a mainstream dieting program? Sincerely, Indulgent

Dear Indulgent, I am not a medical professional, but I can sympathize with your struggle. Instead of committing to an entire plan, make one healthy habit and stick with it until it becomes a mindset. Often, small goals are better. Eliminate one problem food at a time to give yourself room to succeed. Eventually, you will feel you

Sugar is something most of us can agree is addicting, and most Americans consume way too much. It will take time for your body to get used to less sugar, but you will begin to crave it less if you are patient. Keep some healthy sweets on hand so that a once-broken habit doesn’t leave you spiraling. Drink as much water as you can—it is one of the best things you can we do air conditioning do for yourself! Most of all, stay positive; your health is a worthy pursuit. repair & replacement Sincerely, Ann

Bald eagle sets up camp on Conotton Creek trail; covered bridge gets makeover

Photos provided by Dee Horstman

A special attraction was recently photographed near the 9th-mile marker on the Conotton Creek Bike Trail that garnered the interest of bikers and walkers. A biker spied and got a photo of a perching bald eagle on the trail. It’s believed that it has a nest near the mile marker. Additionally, the trail was paved earlier this year, and one of its five covered bridges has been upgraded. Robert “Duck” Zantene originally built the newly repaired covered bridge. It is the third covered bridge, with the Veteran’s Bridge in Scio being the first one and Pete Slates’ Jewett Volunteer bridge the second. Duck’s bridge’s roof was recently removed, raised, and reconstructed to accommodate the big asphalt trucks for this year’s paving.

SMITHFIELD By Esther McCoy I needed the assistance of someone from the Jewett area this week and was amazed how fast it came to my rescue. If any of you know how fast unwanted items can pile up, you will know that I was amazed when I called late Monday evening for the rental of a dumpster from Dave’s Refuse and Roll Off Service, needing the biggest possible, and guessed it would take several days to arrive. Lo and behold, a call came the next morning that it would arrive by midafternoon. And it was. Thank you, Austin. I am happy to hear that the Crestview Inn Restaurant is now in business for those who want a hot lunch and want to help the culinary students learn their skills. Glen Zalenski, the instructor at the Crestview Inn, said it will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to experience waiting on the public from Tuesday through Thursday. There are dine-in and takeout options. “This is going to be the first time in two years that we’re going to be open for the public. They will all be first-year students because there was no class for the 2020 juniors.” I see where a friend from long ago, Marlene Worklan of Hopedale, had a brother who died. She and I were good friends when she lived in Smithfield with her sister, Rose Klan. We rode to work in Steubenville on occasion too. Sorry for your loss, Marlene. Speaking of losses, my brother-in-law, Andrew (“Andy” to me), died very unexpectedly on Oct. 6 in the Weirton Medical Center. He was my go-to when my computer threw unknown problems at me, or I couldn’t get into my computer for unknown reasons. Each time I walked across the field to their house, he would offer me a cup of coffee within minutes of being there (And he made great coffee.). Our families

Saturday, October 16, 2021 of the Toths and McHughes, are devastated, needless to say. We ask for your prayers. I saw a short story on the many uses of rabbits, beside dressing in a tuxedo jacket and carrying a basket full of candies for the good little boys and girls on Easter. Did you know that a rabbit can be litter trained? Ancient Romans loved to eat rabbit and believed it made the women beautiful when they ate them. The largest rabbit ever weighed 49 pounds and was 4 foot 3 inches long. And wild and domestic rabbits cannot mate as they are from different species. As Bugs Bunny would say, “TTTTHHHHAAAATTTTSSSS all, folks.” Ttthhhaaatttss all, folks. DEERSVILLE By Susan Adams Operation Christmas Child, Samaritan’s Purse Christmas boxes are available at the back of the Deersville UM Church with a list of items one can put in the box. The deadline is Nov. 14 to have them back at the church to be delivered to children around the world for this Christmas season. On Saturday, Oct. 23, the Deersville Community Volunteer Fire Department will be holding a bean soup and cornbread dinner from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. It will be dine-in or carryout. The cost is by donation. Besides the soup beans and cornbread, one will receive a cup of cider and a cookie. It sounds like a great time to follow the Moravian Trail to see the fall foliage and get a meal that supports the fire department. The Woody Paul Blanket Mission was held at the Deersville United Methodist Church in the Fellowship Hall, with 11 women and one man making 19 blankets. Kathy Mallarnee and her son Robin made it in from the Columbus area. A delicious covered dish lunch was enjoyed. The Deersville Community Garden Club October was canceled. The next meeting will be Nov. 11 at the home of Marilyn McMillen with Lorraine Gladman as co-hostess. There will be a pie auction to support the scholarship fund. The Women of Mission of the Deersville UM Church held their monthly meeting in the church’s fellowship hall on Thursday, Oct. 7, with eight members present. After grace, the group enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by the Deersville General Store. Past minutes and the treasurers’ report were approved, and a collection was taken. The group will postpone its vintage-style show until Mother’s Day 2022. The group discussed doing a Women of Mission Sunday. They voted to give $200 to Blessings in a Backpack to give money to a member who is ill and have a household shower for the daughter of a member. The next meeting will be on Nov. 4 at 11 a.m. in the fellowship hall, and members are asked to bring a covered dish. Bosler’s Honey Bees And Accessories had their last “Share, Learn and Grow” Saturday until April 2022. Their honey is now on sale at the Deersville General Store. They will be closing at the end of October but will open by appointment by calling 330-401-5889. Welcome to Deersville, Krista Cochran. Krista bought the seasonal Victorian home next door to the old Presbyterian Church. Please support all the local businesses. They are the people who support our children and civic groups. Some Deersville businesses are the Deersville General Store (740-827-4203); Bosler’s Honey Bees and Accessories (330-4015889); The Stand on U.S. 250 by Coultrap’s (330-204-9407, closed Saturday and Sunday) and the Hayseeds Homesteader Trading Post (740-491-2835). It is a good idea to call ahead and make sure they are open or make an appointment. SCIO By Ina Marks Last week was a very busy time, with churches having their last outings for the season. There were revivals and a picnic wiener roast. During Algonquin weekend and the open house at Tappan Marina, there was great weather and very good attendance with great foods. Thanks to all that made it a success. There was an open house at the gas station in Jewett. It was very well-attended. Good luck. That was very much needed. It will be a great help for the community. Wendy’s Cancer Walk went well. It was very well-attended. Support came out of the woodworks. Thanks to all that supported her. Happy birthday to all celebrating, also anniversaries. Prayers and best wishes go out to all ill and needing tests, and always remember their caregivers. Bless all of you. Sympathy and prayers go out to all families and friends that have lost loved ones. R.I.P. Bless all of you. Have a blessed week. Enjoy the beautiful weather. NEW RUMLEY By Donna Jean Haney The Jewett Restaurant has reopened since the COVID shutdown.
