Old school riddled with asbestos

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

JEWETT—The Jewett Village Council met on Monday, January 16. Fiscal Officer Linda Ager gave a brief report, and the council accepted the finalized budget for 2023.

Village Administrator Mike McBee shared that the sidewalk project has begun and that a retaining wall needs to be replaced soon. He was most concerned about water damage at a 3-way stop on Jefferson and said that would be the next major project.

Scio optimistic about new mayor

With no committee reports, Mayor George Ballie said that the demolition of the school and gym would soon go out for bid. He anticipates that the project will be picked up quickly.

“I got the results back from this testing,” Ballie said, referring to necessary testing conducted for the demolition of the building.

“They did find asbestos,” he said. It was found in multiple areas of the school, including in floor tiles, around electrical lines, and under a sink.

He acknowledged that after it was made public that the school was being torn down, multiple community members approached

councilmen upset over the decision.

“I don’t think there’s anyone here who wouldn’t want to save it,” council member Paul Prevot said. “I’ve had a lot of people approach me.”

Prevot explained that it is not a matter of “just wanting to tear it down” but that saving it is an excessive expense for the village. The school building and gym are connected, and it’s not clear whether it would be possible to keep one without the other from a structural perspective. The asbestos removal would be a major cost, there are problems with the roof,

and the furnace has been patched many times over the years. There are also ongoing expenses for upkeep, like water, gas, and electricity, which the village cannot afford.

“There are a lot of costs involved, no matter how much we want to save it,” Tammy Verhovec said. “I don’t think this is something that is feasible in the future.”

Several council members expressed disappointment that despite being approached ASBESTOS See Pg.- 8

Humane Society horse glories in her new home

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer SCIO—Michelle Carpenter, who was mayor of the village of Scio for over ten years, resigned from her position effective December 31, 2022. According to Scio Village Clerk Heidi Trice, Carpenter resigned due to reasons pertaining to family health issues.

“Her focus needs to be on that,” said Trice.

“She did not need to have the additional stress.”

Trice said that the council accepted Carpenter’s resignation “with regret.”

On December 31, the Scio council also voted in Jim Clark, former council president, to take the place of Carpenter as the village’s mayor. Clark had served on the council for two years and, Trice said, is “pretty up to date on the issues. Everything has been a smooth transition.”

While Coffelt spoke to another deputy, a second deputy observed that he was swaying back and forth and slurring his speech. He was giving the deputy trouble about showing up to court and expressed he did not want to sign the ticket. The second deputy chimed in with his opinion about what Coffelt needed to do and asked if he had been drinking, to which Coffelt said no, he had drank the previous night. The deputy told him he “smelled like a brewery” and believed he was under the influence. Coffelt agreed to perform sobriety tests. He was unable to track movement with his eyes and “failed tremendously” when performing the one-leg stand test. He was arrested for OVI and blew a breathalyzer test of .305. He was issued a ticket and citation before being released to his daughter to return home.

1/14 – Deputies were called to a Freeport residence about shots fired and an argument between neighbors. The caller said their neighbors had been outside his house yelling and had fired several shots into the ground from a handgun. Deputies approached the neighbor’s home and heard him in his garage, screaming and making threats about another neighbor that was not involved in the situation. Deputies called the man out of the garage, identifying him as David Beckett. He was obviously intoxicated.

Eventually, Beckett shared what had happened.

Allegedly, someone had yelled at his wife, so after consuming roughly eight beers that night, he went outside yelling and fired several rounds into the ground. Once deputies secured the firearm, Beckett was arrested and taken to be medically cleared and then processed at the jail.

A Cadiz resident wanted a report made about damage to his yard from a neighbor’s cattle. He stated that this had been an ongoing issue with the cattle getting out and running around his property. He said the neighbor typically makes things right with him, but he wanted the damage documented.

A welfare check on a minor was conducted at a Scio residence. The deputy was met outside by the minor’s parents and aunt. The parents gave permission for the deputy to speak with their child. The minor said that there had been an argument about her biological brother but that nothing turned physical. She said that she did feel safe staying at the house but would rather go with her aunt. Her parents would not agree to this, and she stayed at the house. There were no signs of a physical altercation.

Victim says defendant’s behavior ‘will repeat itself’

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ—The Court of Common Pleas began Tuesday’s schedule with several arraignments. Andrew Henton was arraigned on charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle, a felony in the fourth degree, and breaking and entering, a felony in the fifth degree. Henton is currently in Tuscarawas County Jail. His previous bond of $50,000 was continued, although if he was able to make bond, his pending charges in Tuscarawas County would likely prevent his release.

20-year-old Casey Lanham was present via video call from the Jefferson County Justice Center. Lanham had been served his indictment but said that he didn’t understand why he was told his charge was a felony in the fourth degree, and his indictment showed a felony in the third degree. Judge T. Shawn Hervey read through the indictment for Lanham and explained that the change is because he has a prior felony conviction.

Lanham requested an OR bond which would mean being released on his own promise to return, despite his residence being out of state, not having a personal phone number, and his prior conviction. His bond was set at $25,000.

Jacob Tipton was arraigned on two cases, both involving two charges: one for aggravated possession of drugs, a felony in the fifth degree, and the other for possession of drug abuse instrument, a misdemeanor in the first degree. The state, represented by Prosecuting Attorney Lauren Knight, said it would be satisfied with an OR bond as long as Tipton is put on the pretrial release program and has

no contact with Destini Woods. Tipton was released on his own recognizance, and Woods’ arraignment immediately followed.

Because Woods had not been previously served with her indictment, she waived her right to 24-hour notice, saying she had read it online anyway. She is charged with aggravated possession of drugs, a felony in the fifth degree, and possession of drug abuse instrument, a misdemeanor in the first degree. The state made no objection to an OR bond as long as Woods was placed on the pretrial release program. She is not allowed contact with Tipton.

58-year-old Joseph Fluharty was sentenced in a nearly year-long case for trespassing. He was previously deemed incompetent to stand trial and spent time in the hospital undergoing treatment. Now that his competency has been restored, he pled guilty to a lesser charge, making his third-degree felony trespass in habitation a misdemeanor.

The victim’s daughter gave an impact statement to the court before sentencing. She said that Fluharty “should not be allowed in society” or anywhere near her mother. She said that he has repeatedly harassed her mother through phone calls, speaking about the situation to uninvolved parties and showing up to her home unannounced despite a no-contact order from the court. Her mother is over 70 years old and is in poor health. This case has caused her much emotional trauma and stress.

The daughter said that Fluharty’s actions are “ongoing. This pattern will repeat itself.”

Fluharty was sentenced to 180 days of local incarceration, which was suspended. He will be on community-based controls for two years and is to have no contact with the victim.

Gary Shipley waived his right to 24-hour notice for his indictment on a charge of possession of hashish. Shipley already had made bond in a separate case, and the state was satisfied to have that bond continued for this one. Shipley had no objections to that and will be put on the pretrial release program as his case moves forward.

Dawnielle Menefee appeared via video call from Monroe County Jail on a motion to revoke her bond. At the time the motion was filed by the state, Menefee's whereabouts were unknown. Menefee said she was willing to pay for GPS monitoring so she could get out of jail as soon as possible, explaining she was anxious to be with her teen daughter. The state was not opposed to an ankle monitor. The court took the suggestion under advisement as it would need to discuss monitoring with probation.

Menefee also must complete an Ohio Risk Assessment before her case can move forward. NH PHOTO/CORNELIA GRACE

Adena citizen makes a difference in her community

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

ADENA—“I don’t know why you’d write an article about me,” Christine Brokaw said, clearing a space at the kitchen table. She moves a stack of art projects, setting them carefully upon a pile of similar pieces, all from her grandchildren. There are family pictures and coloring pages on nearly every surface.

Some are from family, while others are from neighborhood children. Brokaw points out a paper chain hanging by the back door, commenting that her great-grandson made it for her, and she wonders how it remains hanging so precariously.

The smell of baking cookies wafts through the kitchen into the rest of the house, and Brokaw quickly pulls out a freshly baked pan, sliding in the next one with balls of wet dough already melting in the heat of the room. The recipe box on her counter overflows with slips from magazines, pages from cookbooks, and handwritten recipe cards passed down through the years.

While Brokaw may be unsure why her story should be written down and shared, her love of family and community is obvious after even a single conversation. She has been an active member of Harrison County for decades, participating in the annual Adena Heritage Days parade, providing local kids with artistic outlets, and raising her children to be conscientious, productive citizens.

Brokaw was raised in Piedmont, spending time with her grandparents and running around town with friends.

“I was always [at my grandpa’s farm]. I was always there chasing cows and dogs, tearing up the place,” Brokaw said. “I loved it [in Piedmont]. Always sneaking out to the lake and jumping in. I always loved flying down the hills on roller skates or a bicycle. So I grew up with both knees scabbed, always. I was always

on wheels falling down.”

The farm is where she started playing the piano. Every day she would dutifully spend time hitting all the keys until someone told her parents they couldn’t stand the noise anymore and to get her lessons.

“I think they did it to get me focused,” Brokaw said.

She has now played the piano at her church for over 30 years.

Brokaw lived in Akron for a few years but decided to move back to the area to raise her son in a more stable environment. She was working at a lumber wholesale store in Cadiz,

Christine and Bill met through chance, seeing each other around town. “I always made small talk with him,” Christine said. “He was shy. He didn’t want anything to do with letting anyone know he was serious about someone. So we eloped.” They’ve been married for over 40 years now, raising their family in the community of Adena. PHOTO PROVIDED

and one of her friends was always looking for a particular young man. That’s how she met her husband, Bill. They eloped and settled in Adena, where Bill worked as a coal miner, and they raised five more children together.

“We got involved in all kinds of school projects as the kids grew up,” Brokaw said. “I was a stay-at-home mom the whole time until

Oil & Gas speaks to HB 507 COLUMBUS—House Bill 507, sponsored by State Representative J. Kyle Koehler, revises specified provisions of agriculture law, defines green energy, excludes natural gas from receiving renewable energy credits, revises the law governing environmental health specialists and environmental health specialists in training, allows conservancy district police departments to take specified actions regarding the towing and storage of motor vehicles.

Governor DeWine issued the following statement on HB 507: "The initial and primary purpose of House Bill 507 is important and worthy of passage. While the bill initially involved agricultural issues, amendments were added regarding drilling and natural gas issues. As my administration has analyzed this bill, I believe the amendments in House Bill 507 do not fundamentally change the criteria and processes established by the Ohio General Assembly in 2011 that first established

my last child turned nine, and I felt like I could go out and find a part-time job.”

She worked at a workshop for the disabled, driving clients around and working jobs with clients for almost a decade. She worked at Belmont College and in a head start program for several years.

She was involved in the Adena Lions club for years, directing shows and singing when she could.

“That was such a blessing. I loved it,” she said. “I was always in plays and stuff in school … It was great; they always do great things for people. There are a lot of good people in it.”

the policy of leasing mineral rights under state parks and lands. In addition, I am instructing the Director of the Department of Natural Resources to continue to follow the processes first established by the General Assembly in 2011 in this area. This includes continuing my administration's policy of prohibiting any new surface use access in our state parks."

Following Governor Mike DeWine's signing of House Bill 507 into law, Ohio Oil & Gas Association President Rob Brundrett released the following statement: "We applaud Governor DeWine's decision to sign House Bill 507 into law. This legislation will help Ohio maintain and expand its position as a national leader in safely and efficiently developing natural gas and oil resources. In turn, the legislature's passage and governor's signing of this bill will make a positive difference in providing safe, clean, and affordable energy for Ohio families and businesses."

ODOT IS HIRING...AND OFFERING RETENTION INCENTIVES ODOT is giving retention incentives to employees who are a part of winter operations. Full-time eligible employees who hold valid Class A or Class B CDL licenses, will receive $2,500 in retention funds. Eligible employees must serve the State of Ohio during ODOT’s critical snow and ice season and be employed by the agency from December 1, 2022, and remain with no break in service through May 1, 2023.

Her love for her community extends especially to the youngest members. She collects coloring pages from local kids to be hung in the post office window. Recently, the order came down that the windows couldn’t be decorated anymore, so Brokaw has reached out to local businesses to see if others will allow the papers to be displayed. She started the tradition

over ten years ago and couldn’t pinpoint why she felt so strongly about it, but her thoughts were of the kids.

“I don’t know how to say it,” she said. “Kids that maybe needed direction or something to do. I think it started out with that … It was just a fact that it just seemed like, and I have kids, so I know, when kids are bored and stuff, they get in trouble. They’re always looking for something. So I always told them to come around if they needed anything.”

She makes it a habit to go caroling every year with the neighborhood kids. She said many people don’t bother opening their doors, but the ones that do make it worth it. Afterward, all the kids get hot chocolate and cookies.

When asked why she loves Adena so much, Brokaw had a simple answer, “It’s quiet,” she said. “It seems like everybody knows each other, and we’re all helping each other. It’s not like a rough and tough area.”

Adena was not necessarily quiet during Brokaw’s entire residency. Today’s Adena is different, but not in a bad way. She implied the sense of community has grown stronger over time.

“At that time, everyone was busier …

They had more buildings in town, and it was busier. There were bars, restaurants, stores, and grocery stores, and it seemed like it was buzzing more. But now it seems like people are paying attention to each other more.”

Though she is humble, Brokaw has clearly made a name for herself in the small but tightknit community of Adena. She has always participated in events and was asked to be the queen of Adena Heritage Days last year.

Her love for the village is evident in how she speaks about her experiences and how highly she esteems each person around her. She truly embodies and values community, respect, and loyalty. Adena is lucky to have her as one of its many upstanding citizens.

Bob Stratton, the local Toys for Tots Coordinator for the Marine Reserves, wishes to thank all of the volunteers, contributors, and those who assisted in any manner to help make the toy drive and distribution process a success. There were over 7,000 children who benefitted from this year's effort. The toys were distributed based on the child's age and gender. The volunteers worked over three months in the daily process of loading, unloading, sorting, setting up, and distributing the various toys. All the toys that were distributed were either donated or paid for by donations made to Toys for Tots, including all the donations from the fire last year.

Four different locations were utilized for distribution events, which included Hog Heaven restaurant in New Philadelphia, the Warren Township Community Center in New Cumberland, Crossroads Restaurant in Magnolia, and St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Dover.

Families were also able to pick up toys daily at the Dana Road, Sherrodsville location. Again, Thank you for the successful campaign of 2022.

In Memory In Loving Memory of

Steve Miles

who passed away January 18, 2014 “The Broken Chain” We little knew the day, God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, in death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.

You did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide.

And although we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Sadly missed by Joy, Marcas, Nate, Jake, Rita and James, Mason, Bryce and Abbie, the counter crew staff, family and friends.

by Katherine Miller Hello Everyone, Hope you all had a good week! This leaves me on a Tuesday evening. The children are all in bed except the youngest. He usually doesn’t go until we go.

Today, sister Clara, the children, and I (and the two youngest) went to sister Martha’s house for the day. Then Andrew, the children, Robert, and daughter Ruthie came down at Melvin and Martha’s for supper and evening. We cut some fabric, and Martha sewed some.

On Thursday, I went grocery shopping.

I’m enjoying this month as it seems I can get more sewing done. And would like to do a puzzle as we haven’t done one this winter yet.

A lot of problems in the world would disappear if we talked to each other instead of about each other…

Good NEWS

By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches PastorKenStaley@gmail.com

“Pray for me that I may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked people because this I know; not everyone has faith!” – The apostle Paul.

Well, ain’t that the truth? If you have been a believer in the Lordship of Jesus Christ for very long, you have discovered that you are living in an opposite world. I don’t know many who enjoy being opposed, especially when the soul of the one who is opposing is in the balance.

Jesus said in John’s Gospel that He did not come to condemn the world but that the world, through Him only, might be saved. The sobering

Saturday, January 21, 2022

Living with Opposition part is that Jesus said those who don’t believe are condemned already, not in the future after they die, but right now. It takes an act of belief in Jesus’ Deity and resurrection in this life to get “un-condemned.” This is what the unbelieving world opposes, that we can only get right with God through believing in Jesus. And repent? Not necessarily, they say, “I’m as good as the next guy,” but God doesn’t grade on the curve. In Luke’s Gospel, the Scripture tells about those who would lie in wait trying to trap Jesus in something He said. Think the woke crowd and the word police are something new? They’ve been around a while. Scripture is replete with example after example of traveling dissenters following the apostle Paul all over the known world, causing doubt and “poisoning the minds of those who would believe,” according

to Acts 14. Other Scriptures say there were those who would agitate and hinder the preaching of the Gospel.

One thing is certain; Satan is never far from where people are hearing the Gospel. This is why Paul was never bashful about asking for prayer. Even this giant man of faith who had been to heaven and back knew it was the prayers of everyday believers that were going to get him through all the opposition. Note his request to the Ephesian believers, “Pray for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to boldly make known the mystery of the Gospel… pray that I will be bold enough to speak about it as I should.”

With these requests from Paul in mind, let’s all pray for powerful words to be given to all those on today’s front lines facing opposition as they deliver the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.

A Key Buried Beneath the Snow The cardinal was the first to wake to quickly see that something was not right, For the world as they knew it had seemed to somehow change overnight.

The branch that had always held her cozy nest high and ever true, Now bore a weight of something much heavier than anything it ever knew.

It bent the humble branch, and the cardinal feared that it might give way, For it almost touched the ground in which a thick and pure white blanket lay.

She chirped the song she always sang when the sun first touched the ground, And hoped that someone else would also wake to see the world she’d found.

The doe awoke at the familiar sound of Miss Cardinal’s sweet song of morn, But she noticed that today, the song was sung not to wake but to warn.

Something was wrong; something was different, not the way that it should be, And then the doe saw something she had never expected to see.

The grass had vanished, and the lake had disappeared, taken from their home, And because they had left, the doe could not recognize her own.

The doe, not knowing what else to do, quickly woke her sleeping fawn, And hurried her across the cold and white, unrecognizable lawn.

The rabbit saw from his little hole the deer running fast and far away, It was a silent sign that he had come to learn meant to remain hidden that day.

But what had inspired the deer to run, Mr. Rabbit longed to know, And so he allowed his curiosity to compel him to jump out of his burrow.

So this had been what had alarmed Miss Cardinal and frightened the deer, They did not know that this fluffy white powder arrived sometime every year.

So the rabbit called out to the doe and her fawn to put their escape on delay, And likewise with Miss Cardinal, so that they could hear what he had to say.

He told them that this blanket of endless white was not something to be feared, For it is the same sort of thing as when flowers and changing leaves appeared.

It is a time when the world changes itself without anyone ever noticing when, But to not be so afraid, because, with time, it will all soon change back again.

To see it as a key to the doors that the world flings so open wide, But only the few who want to step into something new dare to go inside.

If an open door is opportunity, and an opportunity a mirror, and a mirror a key, We should walk through it, look at it, and take it to see what the world and we ourselves could be.

—Poem written & submitted by Katelyn Haas, 8th Grader at the Carroll County Christian Academy

Water bills will be late in Freeport

BY DEB MILLIGAN Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer FREEPORT—Mayor Larry Wells opened the first meeting of the year with a full council present. Council members drove around town in December to judge the Christmas decorations, and the winners were announced: first place of $100 went to Josh Ketchum family, second place of $50 went to Kyle Bardall, and third place of $25 went to Travis Butler. Congratulations to the winners and everyone else that decorated for Christmas.

Account Executive Joel K. Bender of Whitaker Myers was present to tell the council that the 2023 renewal cost would be $5,114.

Council then discussed the village truck that was wrecked recently. After the discussion council voted to get a different truck as it would cost less to tow and fix the old one.

Several residents were present with a complaint about a house on Philadelphia

Street that the sheriff responded to, but no one answered the door.

Clerk-Treasurer Mary McBride told council that water bills would be mailed out late this month. She will have help making them out, and there will be no $15 late fee this time.

After several complaints of vehicles parking in the alley, Solicitor Brett Hillyer told McBride to find the ordinance and bring it to the next meeting.

Council named Dan Snyder as a helper to Bill Morrison, the water superintendent, to work together on many projects. They are to check complaints about mailboxes on Piedmont Road.

Morrison will go to school to get his operation contract. They told the council that they had taken all Christmas decorations down.

Council voted to keep Solicitor Brett Hillyer for 2023, and asked Morrison to change the answering machine at the waterworks.

TAPPAN—The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) is adding 13 solar energy projects in 2023. The solar power generated from these projects will save MWCD money on electricity bills and help offset approximately 73% of the energy on locations with solar, and lower our carbon footprint by an estimated 656 tons of CO2 emissions. This is a win-win for MWCD and the environment.

The MWCD Board of Directors recently approved an agreement with IMC Solar at their December board meeting to provide solar energy at Atwood, Clendening, Piedmont, Seneca, and Tappan Lakes, in addition to the office located in New Philadelphia.

“MWCD’s mission is to be a good steward of our natural resources,” said Craig Butler, MWCD Executive Director. “By harnessing solar energy to help power our facilities, we can reduce our carbon footprint and lessen our environmental impact. Ohio has excellent opportunities for solar power, and we expect

to grow this program to expand in the future.

We are fortunate to partner with IMC Solar and welcome them as part of our team to help us manage our long-term energy management needs.”

“The IMC Solar team is thrilled to partner with MWCD to develop renewable energy to help the district achieve its sustainability goal. The solar program will also provide better economics for the district’s energy expenditures,” said Rick Frio, managing partner of IMC Solar.

The analysis began in 2022 with IMC Solar assessing the solar potential for MWCD. This included evaluating electricity usage, determining potential solar locations, and potential cost savings. IMC Solar will assist during the construction phase as well as the negotiations of a Purchase Power Agreement, including providing financial modeling of the potential projects.

Solar power comes to Tappan

A shout out to Marsha Coventry and Lola McMillen for a great afternoon Tuesday. They took me out to lunch and a short trip to the mall (Bath and Body) to help celebrate my birthday. We had a great time getting a chance to catch up, have a great meal and enjoy some downtime.

One can find 16 flavors of ice cream in the dipping cabinet at the Deersville General Store (740-827-4203). They make nearly 50 different flavors, including all-time favorites, seasonal, and non-dairy varieties. They also try to have no sugar added available as well (the only kind not made at the store). Available for a limited time is the new Nutella ice cream.

One can get ice cream daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (winter hours) in a place where it has been made for over 60 years. It is fun to eat there and visit with folks, or it is great to take some home. Also, check out the deli and hot food items. Call ahead for the Sunday special.

Thank you to the choir at the Deersville UM Church for the special music Sunday when they sang “Joyful, Joyful We Adore You.” Also, thank you to Tim McMillen for the beautiful rendition of “Mary Did You Know” on Sunday, January 8.

by residents over the last couple of weeks, no one came to voice their concerns at the council meeting. The meetings are for village business, but residents are always invited to speak their minds and make suggestions during the public comment section of each meeting.

Council once again discussed the possibility of saving the new gym floor, whether for village use later or to sell and recoup some funds. They are in the process of figuring out how to best save the memorial trees, the flag pole, and a few benches that currently sit in front of the school building. These things will be moved to a safe place, either temporarily or permanently, depending on the best option.

As always, the long-term health and safety of residents is a top priority for the Jewett council.

Harrison boys pick up two in a row

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

CADIZ—The postseason before the postseason, or the league and conference championship pictures, to say it another way, are starting to take shape.

Last Friday, the Harrison Central boys held their position among the top teams of the Buckeye Eight North Division with their 4432 victory over the Beaver Local Beavers. The Huskies (7-6) have run a perfect 4-0 record against Beaver (6-7) and Edison (4-10) this season and own the tiebreaker over Indian Creek (9-5). Though there has been no official release from the league, reports are that East Liverpool will not be participating in the boys' championship event to be held on January 28 at Bellaire. Should that turn out to be the case, Harrison fans can expect to see the Huskies (as North Division champs) against the undefeated Martins Ferry Purple Riders (South Division champs) for a chance to capture the school's first league championship in boys basketball.

The trip to Columbiana County last weekend wasn't only important for the Buckeye Eight pecking order, but it also impacted the OVAC 4A regular season standings as well.

With the series-sweeping victory, the Huskies inched back on top of the Beavers in the 4A standings released on January 15. Currently, the Huskies land in the fourth and final

qualifying spot for the OVAC Championship bracket. East Liverpool, Indian Creek, and Weir own the top three lines.

HC knockin’ down pins!

CADIZ—Harrison Central bowlers have been busy the last few weeks posting the following results: January 12 at JD Lanes -vs- Wellsville. Boys varsity team score - H.C. 1986 - Wellsville 1745. High individual scores - Kobie Hennis 211 & 247, Chad Viers 208, John Gray 172, Drew Culbertson 161 & 157. This was the only match, and Wellsville had eight kids total. The boys were having fun and throwing strikes!

January 13 at St. Clair Lanes -vs- St. Johns.

Boys varsity team score - H.C. 1816 - St. Johns 925 (bowling with four boys). High individual scores John Gray 201, Chad Viers 195, Kyle Bake 160 & 177, Kobie Hennis 173. The boys did a fine job on the lanes today. Girls varsity team score - H.C, 1719 - St Johns 872. (bowling with three girls.) High individual scores - Cami Basich 192, Lauren Best 182 & 169, TyLynn Smith 146, Angel Utter 146. The

Hayden Cassidy's long-range shooting and Cabot Arbaugh's post-play led the charge against the Beavers. Cassidy finished with 15 points (nine of those from beyond the arc), and

girls also did a fine job on the lanes, with both teams preparing for the upcoming Buckey 8.

Keep knocking those pins down.

What a great job on January 17 by our Huskies bowling teams at the Buckeye 8 tournament. Both teams finished in second place. These kids worked their tails off on the lanes, and Coach Jim and Coach Bobbie are so proud of each and every one of them. Congratulations to the bowlers!

The top six finishers make the All-Buckeye 8. Congratulations to Nate Kelley (East Liverpool) 630, Logan Wolfe (Beaver Local) 625, Chad Viers (H.C.) 585, Kobie Hennis (H.C.) 565, and Sebastian Lewis (St. C.) series.

Congratulations to Addison Rudibaush (East Liverpool) 654, Paige Grimes (East Liverpool) 487, Erica Emhoff (H.C.) 482, Mollie Pettrie (East Liverpool) 454, Lauren Best (H.C.) 445, and Cami Basich (H.C.) 441 series.

Arbaugh capped the night off with 10.

This past Tuesday, the Huskies returned to action on the friendly confines of their home

floor against the Cameron (WV) Dragons.

The Dragons (6-5) currently lead the standings race in OVAC 1A and are highly expected to make a return trip to Cadiz for the conference championship event in February. However, their initial trek3200 didn't go as planned. The Huskies raced out to a double-digit lead in the early moments of the second quarter and never looked back. The comfortable lead ballooned into a second-half blowout, as the Huskies finished the night with a 68-34 triumph.

Cassidy turned in a game-high effort with 19 marks. Mykel Quito followed that up with 14 points. The Dragons had the length and height, but Quito's physicality was a mainstay in the paint. Four other players paired up for contributing combinations. Jace Madzia and Clayton Vermillion combined for 14 points with seven each. Right on their heels were Nic Fluharty and Cabot Arbaugh, a duo that produced 12 tallies with six each.

As far as the OVAC 4A race is concerned for the Huskies, there may not be a bigger matchup than this weekend's home date with the Weir High Red Riders. The cutoff for the championship bracket is just two weeks away, and a chance to pick up a victory over the team directly ahead in the standings is quite the opportunity to firm up a spot in the bracket.

Jewett’s youth Jr. high highlights basketball

BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer JEWETT—On Saturday, January 14, the Busby Wildcat Center (BWC) opened its doors to the 2023 Youth Basketball League.

The BWC has provided the home for youth basketball for over two decades. The basketball program there has provided a starting point for many basketball players from around the surrounding counties. Most of the players became varsity Cardinal or Husky starters, and some moved on to play at the college level.

“This year will once again be a great year of basketball for the kids,” said Tammy Dray, league vice president. “We have over 80 kids who have signed up to play this year. This season will be the 20th year running for the youth league. We are proud to say that three of our coaches played in the center’s basketball league, and two of those coaches will be coaching this coming Saturday.”

The basketball games will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. Players are asked to be at the center early of their start times, as the games will proceed as scheduled. The BWC also provides a great concession area for those who may miss breakfast or lunch.

CAMBRIDGE—Saturday, January 7, was a very good day for the Harrison Junior High Lady Husky basketball teams as they traveled to Cambridge to take on the Bobcats.

After the seventh-grade girls gave up the first two points to the young Bobcats, it was all Huskies for the rest of the game. The Huskies scored the next 15 points to take a commanding 15-2 lead into the locker room at the half.

The second half proved to be nearly identical, with first-half scoring equaling the same 15–2 differential for a 30–4 victory. Kelsey Powers led the way with 19 points, with many of her points coming as a result of her numerous steals.

The eighth-grade girls used a very balanced offensive attack to subdue the Bobcats by a 39– 23 score. Mikayla Pelegreen led the Huskies with nine points. Bailey Smith and Lilli Smith each added eight points, while Kiara Biddle and Meghan Keffer chipped in six points each.

The Husky jr. high boys were on the home court on Monday to host the Purple Riders of Martins Ferry. In the seventh-grade game, the Huskies jumped out for an 8-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Huskies caught fire during the fourth quarter by opening the final stanza with three bonus field goals and a twopoint goal en route to a 25-16 victory.

Cameo Belles - Cadiz, Ohio

By Susan Adams

This picture was a December 2008 Look at the Past and was submitted by Maureen Leeser Huntsman (her mom was in the picture). Thank you to Doris Fisher Crawford (who is in the picture) for suggesting that it be shared again.

From the book “Harrison County, Ohio Celebrates its 150th Year 18131963,” “Governor James A Rhodes issued a ‘Proclamation’ proclaiming 1963 as Harrison County Sesquicentennial Year and that the year will be commemorated by all residents of the county and neighboring communities.” It took a lot of people to pull off the week-long celebration. Sunday, June 23, 1963, “Religious Heritage Day;” Monday, June 24, 1963, “Governor and Pioneer Day;” Tuesday, June 25, 1963, “Commerce and Industrial Day;” Wednesday, June 26, 1963, “Salute to Youth Day;” Thursday, June 27, 1963, “Harrison County Day” (colorful fireworks display, featuring simulated atomic explosion); Friday, June 28, 1963, “Ladies Day;” and Saturday, June 29, 1963, “Veterans and Armed

Forces Day.” Each day was full of activities.

To help celebrate this occasion, there were groups of ladies who participated (dressed in old-style clothing and hats), and they were collectively known as the “Harrison Belles.” Likewise, there were groups of men dressed in their black slacks and white shirts with bow ties and hats, who were collectively known as “Brothers of the Brush.” All of the individual groups from all over the county had a name. This group was the “Cameo Belles - Cadiz, Ohio.” L to R first row: Millie Zitko (King), Elda Nelson, county chairman; Martha Green, Mary Black, chairman; Evelyn Horton, Alice Cope. Second row: Wilma Keyser, Jean Stevens. Third row: Marlene Harmon, Myrna Cramblett, Vesta Myers, Elizabeth Mallernee, Bernice Sedgmer, Elsie Leeser, Connie Hamilton, Emma Belle Gillaspie, Evelyn Dowdle, Alta Barrett, Doris Fisher (Crawford), Shirley Cramblett, Mary Sturm.
