Bird Nerds’ macaw steals Scio Street Fair

Pictured is the resplendent George the blue and gold macaw, the Bird Nerds’ main educational bird. Legend has it that every president from Washington to Reagan had some type of parrot as a pet in the White House, except Lincoln, who instead had a rooster. No wonder these beautiful birds would be invited over and over again by presidential request!

BY BONNIE RUTLEDGE Harrison News-Herald Publisher An all-new attraction at the Scio Street Fair has the curb appeal to intrigue passersby and a valuable cause behind it. Making their appearance each night at the street fair by showcasing George, the blue and gold macaw, the Bird Nerds are a pet rescue sanctuary out of East Canton looking to educate the public on proper animal care.

Connie Phillips has been sheltering pets for years. The concept of taking care of birds that were no longer wanted by their owners started 16 years ago when Connie’s friend adopted an abandoned exotic bird into her home. Now, the Bird Nerds have their own building and shelter, over 100 birds, and other new home-seeking pets. With over 500,000 pet birds in shelters nationwide, the Bird Nerds do everything they can to find good homes for their animals and educate the public on this widespread issue.

Any adopter first goes through training courses,

completes a home check to ensure the pet’s safe environment, and signs a contract agreeing not to sell the bird soon after the adoption.

The Bird Nerds also accept ferrets, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, rabbits, and even some dogs and cats — you name it, they’ve cared for it. Eighty-five exotic birds have been surrendered to them just this year. Phillips charges no surrender fee but instead supports the cost of their shelter with modest adoption fees and proceeds from the merchandise they sell.

The Bird Nerds go to fairs, nursing homes, preschools, vacation Bible schools, and many more community events and facilities.

“To see the sweet older folks in the nursing homes sit with and pet the birds and rabbits — it’s about the amazing interaction that people get to have. We can’t explain it! We aren’t special, but the animals are. We do this because of the overwhelming need for humane animal care, the public education that comes, and the amazing experiences that happen.”

Their main education bird, George, is a kind soul. Phillips explained that he gravitates toward people with disabilities and pregnant women. George is 23 years old and expected to live 80–100 years. George was given to the Bird Nerds 10 years ago after his previous owner passed away. Phillips noted that the prior owner had done extensive training with George to encourage his docile and tame nature, something that the Bird Nerds have continued to foster in him. George knows what a camera is and typically poses for the photo op, is spritzed often with cool water through the hot evenings at the fair, and snacks on cantaloupe in between his photo shoots with fairgoers. He is affectionate and most content perched on his owner’s arms.

If you would like to learn more about the rehabilitation and adoption sanctuary or schedule George to come visit your office or event, call 330-617-3557 or email thebirdnredsrescue2@gmail.com. Don’t forget to stop by and see them at the Scio Street Fair!

Sean Carney’s Blues For A Cure 2022

MPLX Gathering and Processing presents the 11th annual Sean Carney's Blues For A Cure 2022 in Harrison County. A free public concert is to be held on Friday, June 24 (6 p.m. start) and Saturday, June 24 (4 p.m. start) at Sally Buffalo Park (43000 Industrial Park Road in Cadiz, Ohio). The proceeds benefit the WVU Harrison Community Hospital Foundation and the Harrison County Cancer Crusaders. Since its inception, this annual charity concert event has raised nearly $250,000 for the local area. Blues For A Cure has raised over $400,000 since Sean Carney

started the fund in 2007. This is the second year the event is a two-night concert.

Three International Blues Challenge (IBC) Guitar champions will be featured at this year's concert. Headlining the event, hailing from Nashville, is 2003 International Blues Challenge Guitar champion Stacy Mitchhart and his namesake band. Rounding out the list of guitar champions is 2015's IBC "Best Guitarist," Noah Wotherspoon; and event namesake 2007 IBC Guitar Champion Sean Carney. And to pay tribute to our local talent, the best guitarist in the Ohio Valley, Roger

Hoard, and his Hoard and Jones band will be featured.

This Blues For A Cure concert will serve as the CD release of Blues Cures 13, the 13th CD in the series of live studio jams with the artists who've played a part in the concerts in the past decade. Among the artists featured on this release are the Nick Schnebelen Band; Matt O'Ree Band, featuring Eryn O'Ree and Bart Walker; Scotty Bratcher, Noah Wotherspoon; Sean Carney, Jamie Peck, Lenny Fatigati, BLUES See Pg.- 5

The Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation is continuing to move forward with the projects it has underway, the most significant of which are the Harrison Power Plant and Western Magnesium.

HCIC president Dale Arbaugh shared with the News-Herald that he has been in regular communication with Western Magnesium and the power plant people. The HCIC’s executive director Nick Homrighausen has several other projects in the pipeline, too, and is continuing to take calls from new contacts.

“We’re continuing to do whatever needs to be done,” Arbaugh said. “The only thing that has changed is that we’re no longer working with commissioners, which means we don’t have their blessing or funding at this point.”

The issue with funding predates the rift between the two groups. “This did not just happen overnight,” Arbaugh said. He stated that the commissioners stopped funding the HCIC in 2018, except for what they paid for Homrighausen’s benefits package. Thanks to their sale of land at Industrial Park, they still had a sizable account but had to use it for operations instead of capital improvements.

“If Industrial Park gets sold, we don’t want to take out funds for operations. We want to use it for new infrastructure and the benefit of Harrison County.”

As for what happened to the money the commissioners have not been giving to the HCIC, Arbaugh said, “The commissioners are sitting on a pretty hefty bank statement at this point.” Before 2018, the commissioners had given the HCIC approximately $90,000 per year.

And the loss of this funding could pose a problem for the HCIC. “Ultimately, this will give us an issue because we will deplete the resources we have,” Arbaugh said. “We are sound until next year, but ultimately we will have to come up with a funding mechanism, or by default, we will be done because I can’t pay someone if I don’t have the funds for it.”

The commissioners delivered an ultimatum to the HCIC back in February, accusing Homrighausen of breaching their trust following a dispute over how tax revenues would be divided and demanding that the HCIC fire their executive director. While the HCIC was willing to comply with some of the other requests made by the commissioners and admitted that there were areas where communication and organization could be improved, they refused to fire Homrighausen, even though this meant severing their ties with the commissioners.

But commissioner Don Bethel, along with Paul Coffland, was especially adamant in opposition to Homrighausen on his way out.

In the race for the Republican nomination to the Harrison County Commission, Bethel lost to newcomer Dustin Corder, who earned 1,147 votes to Bethel’s 513. Bethel had served on the county commission for 12 years.

When asked about whether this might lead to any new outcomes in their relationship with the commissioners, Arbaugh said he thought it might be possible. “I hope that will take place,” he said. “Dustin’s campaign talked about working with us and wanting to move forward.” However, Arbaugh also emphasized that it is too soon after the election to tell.

Jewett seriously cracking down on ATVs

BY KRISTI TULLIS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

As the park committee reported to Jewett council members at Wednesday's meeting, it was stated that residents have recently questioned the name of the baseball field at the Jewett community park. Mayor Bo Bailie recalled that it was named after the late Henry Mooney and has remained unchanged through the years. Council agreed this name would not change, and the signage that once existed to label it will be relocated. The committee also included in its report that marked trees have been cut, and stump grinding has been completed. Along with this, the flower beds have all been completed for the summer.

The administration report included that the mirror requested by the Jewett Police Chief has been ordered. This will assist the department at the three-way stop to deter traffic violations

that have been a recent issue for the village. In addition, residents will be happy to know that the streets will be cleaned (beginning at the east end of town) so curb painting can begin next week.

Along with street cleaning, patchwork on Main Street will be completed where needed.

Weedeating is well underway to help clear banks and to remove obstructions from view in town. Council would also like to remind residents that if streetlights are not working to report the associated pole number to the town office, and they will be repaired as early as the next day.

Council also stressed the importance of properties being kept up to code, and discussed possible means of enforcement. As dilapidated structures are already planned for demolition in the future, the council felt that yard maintenance now will help reach the end goal of ridding the village of its unsightly properties

that are failing to meet the standards upheld by the village ordinances. The council is deciding the best way to approach this change and will move forward with enforcement. To avoid future fines, residents are again asked to clean up their properties.

In other news, Alice Hirschbach was welcomed to her first meeting as the water department clerk. She thanked the council for their assistance since she started and stated she hoped to stay. Hirschbach reported that billing would be completed for disconnects by the end of the month. She said that past dues and partial payments are adding up, and collection will be made.

Jewett Police Chief Ron Carter would like to remind residents that operation stickers for driving UTVs and ATVs inside of Jewett's jurisdiction can be purchased or renewed at his office. New vehicles will need to undergo a full inspection with proof of current insurance

provided and kept with each application; there is a $25 fee for all new vehicles at the time of this article. Any vehicles that need to be renewed must provide proof of insurance and a $10 renewal fee. All applications for the year are valid until Dec. 31, 2022. Council also discussed the probability of raising prices in the future.

Moving on, Carter would like residents to know that the courtesy for these vehicles driving through town is ending. He stated that if anyone is caught operating a UTV or ATV without this sticker, they will face penalties according to state law: a three-day mandatory jail sentence and possible forfeiture of their vehicle. "The village cannot override state laws, and everyone needs to be aware of this," Carter said. "Also, this only applies to drivers over the age of 16 with a valid driver's license. What the states deems acceptable for responsible driving, so does the village."

New Athens addressing Rt. 9 Judge Hervey explains benefits of attorneys to defendants traffic concerns

BY KRISTI TULLIS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

A concerned resident approached the New Athens council at Monday's monthly meeting.

The issue regarded traffic as it travels through town on Route 9, where children play and local golf carts are driven. After the council discussed the issue and agreed to the concern, a motion was passed to purchase two mirrors to provide better viewing for residents and traffic.

Council also discussed the September deadline for the Ohio EPA regulations to be met. This includes the town's contingency plan. Copies of appropriate paperwork will be located at all mandatory locations and will include contact information and emergency numbers for offices such as the EMA and the county health department regarding national disasters and loss of water supply. The EPA is enforcing EMA to conduct community exercises with maps included too. This deadline also includes the village's asset management plan regarding inventory.

During the meeting, the council was informed that storm drains had been cleared, and a water break on Culbertson Drive had been repaired. There is an issue with the possibility of a leaking water line at a local residence, but due to its location, it will need to be slowly checked for repairs as it continues uphill. It was also

noted that this piping is entirely made of clay tiles. Included, the council has taken notice of malodorous water running onto the main road near another residential property; it's currently being investigated. Additionally, there were no water shut-offs to report at this time. It was also mentioned that the alarm at the pump station seems to sound off periodically, and internet services were recently lost. Both issues are being dealt with.

In both old and new business, the council discussed applying for grant monies that could be used for revitalizing the town. The process includes a partnership with another locality (a requirement). Both would need to submit a list of needs and repairs. The goal is to combine costs so the money can be divided as necessary.

This process will be explored for the next meeting. The New Athens council also stated that a small lot on Main Street had been deeded to the town, and talks of adding a gazebo are being entertained. All agreed giving back to the residents is essential, and this would be a nice location to do so.

To close, members praised the inclusion of the memorial banners hanging through the town. There are also four historical flags that will be placed at the four-way for viewing. The council is proud to honor the villages' veterans and history.

The theme in Harrison's Common Pleas Courtroom this week was not necessarily a particular crime but a refusal of many of the defendants to be represented by an attorney.

Eyebrows raised in the courtroom as Judge T. Shawn Hervey explained to those on trial that they have the right to do so but will be held to the same standard as attorneys —expected to follow the proper order and protocol of the courtroom (including bargaining for a plea), cross-examine any witnesses against them, and subpoena witnesses to testify for them. A few then decided in favor of attorney representation, but others did not.

Two out of the more than 15 cases on Tuesday opted for attorney representation and counseling — those being Santana Murral and Michael Hawthorne. Both defendants are in the pretrial stages, meaning the judge first ensures proper evidence exists to incriminate the defendants and analyzes their behavior to consider their ability to come to court when called and stay out of trouble. Hervey praised Murral for her actions and encouraged her, saying to "keep doing what you are doing" until her next court appearance. Prosecutor Lauren Knight noted that she would be an excellent candidate for the treatment in lieu of conviction program because of her lack of criminal history.

Meanwhile, Hawthorne requested in-patient treatment before last week's court appearance

but explained that availability is weeks out.

Community corrections officer Dan Rapovi made sure to inform the judge of Hawthorne's request, and while the court has no authority over the availability of the third-party treatment facility, he noted that they would reach out to the facility on his behalf. Hervey exhorted Hawthorne to be careful, saying, "What you do between today and the time you come back will probably be determinate on what happens to you. If you test positive or commit another crime, things will probably go poorly for you.

If you go to rehab and you're doing better, and you show up when you are supposed to, things will probably go better."

Bonds were placed over two other cases this week via video conference to the Eastern Ohio Corrections Center (EOCC) in Jefferson County; $30,000 was placed on Mr. Hanshaw to encourage him to appear in court, which has been an issue in the past, and $50,000 on George Rollic for not returning to EOCC after his set furlough time to attend the funeral of a family member — and additionally, testing positive for marijuana, methamphetamine, amphetamine, and tramadol.

James MacElwin, Ricky Tanner, and Thomas Wilkinson were among the defendants who failed to attend their courtroom session; pending they did not appear before 2 p.m., warrants were set for their arrest.

Striving for superlative The Amish health at St.alternative Michael’s services like tissue-mineral

BY JULIE MARSHALL Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

Helping patients to achieve a healthy mind, body, and spirit are of utmost importance at the St. Michael’s Holistic Natural Health Center in Weirton, West Virginia. Founder Donald D’Anniballe (M.S., Ph.D. Holistic Health, HygioPhysician, C.H.P.) holds an American Association of Drugless Practioner board certification as a holistic practitioner and has been serving in this capacity since 2002. D’Anniballe offers education in Eastern and Western herbal traditions and the proper use of dietary supplements to balance a person’s mind, body, and spirit to achieve optimal health. His methods do not interfere with modernday medical treatments but rather enhance the patient’s overall wellbeing and work alongside present-day medicine. At St. Michael’s, clients will learn how diet, vitamins, and herbs — or the lack thereof — affect their well-being. The Center offers many

analysis, iridology, and reflexology — to name a few. Consult their website at www.smhnhc.com for a full list of all of their services.

Additionally, they offer educational classes like acid-alkaline diet, for example. This class will aid participants in discovering how different foods are acid- or alkaline-forming and will also teach them how to neutralize pH to remove stress in the body. D’Anniballe stays up to date with herbology and vitamin supplementation; thus, St. Michael’s provides its own professional line for sale to its clientele. To keep man’s best friend in A-1 shape, St. Michael’s offers a pet program as well.

The services and products at St. Michael’s are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure, or prevent diseases but to guide individuals to find their balance. St. Michael’s is located at 243 Three Springs Drive in Weirton, West Virginia, and is open Monday through Friday from 10–5 (closed for lunch from noon to 1). To schedule an appointment, call 304-723-3997.

Good NEWS

Behind the Scenes

By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches PastorKenStaley@gmail.com We pray, nothing happens. We pray some more, still no change — or so we think. The God we serve is always listening and moving behind the scenes. Isaiah 45:15 in the Message Bible says, “Clearly, you are a God who works behind the scenes.” God heard the ancient Israelites when they cried out to him for deliverance in Exodus 3:7–9: “I have surely seen the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their cruel slave masters. I am acutely aware of their sufferings. So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them into a good and spacious land” That’s good news. He is aware of our sufferings and will deliver us. When Peter was imprisoned for preaching the gospel, scripture says the church was constantly praying for him. The Lord heard their prayers and moved behind the scenes to supernaturally free Peter. When Paul and Silas were in prison for delivering a fortune teller from the unclean spirit in her, they sang praises at midnight, and God delivered them by raising the roof, so to speak. One of the foundational keys to waiting for answered prayer is what Jesus preached in Mark 11:24 “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them (NKJV).” When a child asks mom and dad for a new bike, and they say yes, they place the order online and are emailed that their payment is accepted and the bike is on its way. They have received even though the child is not yet riding the bike. Prayer is like that: We must believe even though we don’t see the answer. So, what should we do while we are waiting and sometimes struggling through difficult times? Here are seven things that scripture encourages us to do while God is moving behind the scenes: Be Still: Psalm 46:10 NIV Be still and know that I am God Be Quiet: Psalm 62:5 NLT “Let all that I am wait quietly before God because my hope is in him.”

Stay in the Word: Psalm 119:114b MSG I wait for your Word to renew me.

Stay Faithful: Hebrews 10:36 ESV For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

Stay Prayerful: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 NIV Pray without ceasing.

Stay Thankful: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Stay Expectant: Psalm 42:11 TLB O my soul, don’t be discouraged. Expect God to act! Psalm 130:5 “I wait expectantly, trusting God to help, for he has promised” Take heart; we serve a delivering God who is clearly working behind the scenes.

Health depts. gearing up for Storm slams Brushy Fork Covid vaccine authorization for younger children

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer Following a gradual creep upward in Harrison County's Covid numbers, with an average of 18 cases per week over a two-week period, the numbers dropped again to only 10 cases for the week between June 3 and June 9.

The county's current cumulative total is 3,320 cases for the entire pandemic. And there are only 14 active cases at present.

However, county health administrator Garen Rhome explained that none of these numbers account for cases that have been asymptomatic, untested, or unreported.

Rhome said that the recent dip in Covid cases correlates with statewide numbers. Ohio saw a recent rise and peak between May 13 and May 26, which saw approximately 19,500 cases per week.

"Harrison is usually a week or so behind statewide trends," Rhome explained. "A trend that starts in Ohio usually takes at least an extra week to be observed locally."

Even with higher numbers recently, Harrison County remains green on the Covid map, indicating a low level of community health burden. The same goes for neighboring counties Jefferson, Belmont, Carroll, and Tuscarawas. The only neighboring county to have a medium level of community health burden is Guernsey. Several other counties in the state's southeast region are also in the orange at present. There are also several southern Ohio counties that are in the red, indicating a high community level.

Harrison County's most recent Covid hospitalization was over two weeks ago, on May 29, Rhome said. And the county hasn't had a Covid death reported since Feb. 20.

Across the state, health officials have seen a very slow 60-day trend of increased hospitalizations across the state, but Rhome emphasized that this curve was quite low and not exponential.

For perspective: As of yesterday, there were 117 ICU covid cases across Ohio. And the statewide high was 1,300 ICU cases in January of this year. In the southeast hospital region, of which Harrison County is a part, only three individuals are hospitalized in the ICU with Covid.

About 3,300 county residents have received one booster, and 437 have received a second booster, out of the 6,425 residents who have completed the initial two-dose series. A booster was approved for 5–11-year-olds in May, and the nation is waiting to find out whether a vaccine will soon be approved for younger children. When this happens, Rhome said, parents should consult their pediatricians. "It's going to be recommended and generally safe, but your doctor will know your medical and family history best."

In the meantime, the Ohio Department of Health is "taking all the steps they can to make sure the vaccine will be available for younger individuals."

range of shade and wind protection. During rainstorms, they will go under the vehicles or in the buildings, but some just stay out in the rain.

Jack separates his flocks by age so that the groups that start together stay together throughout their lifespan. Their peak is at about eight months of age, and after they are 12–13 months old, they gradually begin to diminish production. The Jacks sold off about 85 chickens this past spring from the first year's flock, but with the economy going the way it is, they will probably start canning them in the future. Meat from the old laying hens is very good for processing and canning. But they aren't big and meaty, so it takes quite a few to make it worthwhile. Jack chuckled and said, "The old-timers would have eaten them for Sunday dinner!"

The Jacks also have to deal with raccoons, weasels, foxes, and coyotes getting after their birds, but their livestock guardian dogs are Anatolian Shepherds and are strong, athletic, and do a good job of frightening off the predators. They have younger dogs, too, that are in training to watch over the chickens, but they can't free-roam with them until they are older and trained well.

While the Jacks are mindful of their blessings and donate a portion of their eggs to food pantries, they also sell eggs from their homestead in Cadiz and deliver them to local customers. Contact Jack Chik-in Shack at 304215-5397 or 740-632-5635 to arrange a pickup time.

Local free-range chicken farm produces colorful variety

Eric Jack, the owner of Jack Chik-in Shack, has been down on the farm raising chickens off and on for over 40 years. He started out in Ohio County, West Virginia, where his flock grew to about 300 laying hens. The Shack had repeat customers at farmer's markets and was able to sell to local grocery stores as well. However, in 2010, when feed prices skyrocketed, Jack quit his operation because it just got to be too expensive. Then in 2016, he and his wife Lisa moved to Harrison County. This time the Jacks started out with the intention of raising chickens for personal consumption — but one thing led to another, and Jack Chikin Shack was reborn. During the pandemic, their business grew because people were eating at home more, and it pushed the Jacks into ramping up their production.

Currently, they have 200 laying hens at a time ranging in age from six months to three years old. It is a mixed flock of standard heritage breed chickens, and they are a completely freerange operation. The chickens are on the loose to wander the farm's wooded areas and grassy fields during the day, getting a wide variety of good nutrients, vitamins, and protein in their diet. Because of the broad spectrum of feed and insects, the eggs are a myriad of colors and have a much richer yolk than store-bought. The freerange chickens usually stay within 1,000 feet of their assigned dwellings, and they have a wide

LOOK AT THE PAST Moorefield Township Schools

By Susan Adams

1. Pictured right is the Piedmont School. It had two rooms, but later they used only one.

It closed due to consolidation. The last teacher was Shirley Westhall. The Washington Township Fire Department now uses it as part of the firehall.

2. Pictured below is the Moorefield School.

There were four rooms, and then another was added for the high school. The high school closed in 1931. Consolidation closed the school in 1954. The last teachers were Lela Moore, grades three and four; Mrs. Sarah Conrad, four and five; and Mary Rogers, seven and eight. Moorefield School is a community center. The railroad later transported boys and girls from Moorefield and Piedmont to Freeport High School.

3. Oak Valley or Possum Hollow Township Road 253 Range 6 Sec. 36 was torn down.

The last teacher was John Brokaw in 1934.

4. Poplar Ridge Sec. 16 was torn down. The last teacher was Corella Moore in 1934.

5. Science Hill SW point of Sec. 7 County Road 16 (there was a Science Hill in Cadiz Township also). This was the site marked for altitude by the surveyors on a stone with a lead plate. The second building was on John A.B. Moore’s place and was built in 1914. Moore bought it and made it into a dwelling; the land is stripped now. The last teacher was Ruth Young in 1934.

6. Unity Ridge was in the center of the north edge of Sec. 25 on the township line or near County Road 20. The family names here were Pugh, Hamilton, Tarbert, Simpson, Scott, Dunlap, and Moore. John Clemens carried water for the school, and Vince Lumley played the harmonica for the cakewalks. The building was torn down in the 1930s.

7. Nottingham was south of State Route 22 in Sec. 6. It has been torn down. The last teacher was Leslie L. Street in 1935. There was an early school south of State Route 22 and east of the Nottingham Church. This may have been the first Nottingham School.

2022’s football report date set

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

CADIZ – Though school was just recently dismissed, the days are short for when the football players will have to report. All of the usual preparations for preseason conditioning, practice schedules, and other training accommodations for 2022's season are in the works. Head Harrison Central football coach Anthony Hays has indicated that the date of the mandatory player reporting will be on Aug. 1 (just 43 days from the publication date) "I'm looking forward to this upcoming season," said Hayes. "With all of the injuries and setbacks that we had last season, it has left a bad taste for me and the coaching staff. I'm sure that all of us will be happy to experience the fresh start that this season will bring. On the positive side, we have taken the stand that with the new year, a lot has changed. With that in mind, we intend on using our official season opening date of Aug. 1 to set the stage for what will be our best effort in providing a good football season. We hope that all of our fans intend on showing up and supporting us, just as they have done in the past," he added.

Husky fans can be proud of the setting where the young athletes can play football.

Just as in baseball, softball, basketball, track, wrestling, and soccer, the school board has had the foresight to realize that much of Ohio is looking at Harrison County. The school and its facilities are seemingly talked about everywhere, and the use of the complexes by outside groups is sought regularly. On top of that, the model used to construct the school is now used as a stepping stone for the other new facilities. From the first day since the new school's approval, all of the necessities to provide beautiful sports complexes were considered. Now, the need for a new press box, concessions area, and restrooms at the stadium are being satisfied too.

Division changes

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer CADIZ — Harrison Central will now become part of and compete in Division II sports. The news came out of Columbus this week that some area schools will be changing their division tournament status during the fall and winter sports. The bulk of the division shifts occurred in five schools, where football will be affected immediately: Harrison Central: will move up a division as soon as football season starts and will now be part of Division II tournament pairing.

Martins Ferry: with the number of female athletes increasing in the high school, the Purple Riders will now compete in Division II volleyball and cross-country this season.

In boys' sports, the Riders will move down a division to compete in Division VI. Bridgeport: will move back to Division IV from Division III. Barnesville: the Shamrocks will move up to Division V. Buckeye Local: Buckeye Local will revert from Division V to IV. Bellaire: will be moving down to Division VI. St. Clairsville: the girls' basketball team will play in Division III. Union Local: the Jets are dropping back a notch from Division IV to V. Finalization of the spring sports changes will be made during the OHSAA Board of Directors Meeting in August.

Three softball players named All-TL

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

CADIZ — Harrison Central has consistently produced outstanding athletes in several sports throughout the school's history.

During the times when wins were lean and at the times when banners were raised, similar results were produced. During those times, many athletes have moved on to the next level, and many others have gone on to coach.

Softball at the varsity level is an excellent example of Harrison Central has produced outstanding talent and college athletes. The pitching has single-handedly sent athletes to college on scholarships, but the Huskies softball program has created at least one nextlevel coach too. However, a good softball team requires nine players, and from those nine players, a certain skill level is required to catapult those pitchers onward to the collegiate level.

In 2022, four of Harrison Central's standout players have received accolades, including local honors such as the Buckeye 8 and OVAC and from the state levels that include regional, district, and state recognition. No one would

be too surprised to hear that Sarah Touville, Jenna Young, Tristen Kovarick, and Maddy Butler received such prestige. And on Saturday, three of them were chosen to represent the AllTimes Leader's 2022 Softball Team: shortstop Sarah Touville, first baseman Jenna Young, and third baseman Maddy Butler (junior season).

In addition, one member was also selected as one of the team's co-captain: Touville.

Sarah Touville: Touville is a player who shows you what she can do every time she takes the field. Besides All-TL honors, she earned Division III All-State Second-Team recognition and played in both the 2022 EastWest Senior All-Star Game and the OhioWest Virginia All-Star Game. As a shortstop, the senior continuously used her glove and arm to prove her worth as a Husky softball starter and provided the accuracy needed to produce outstanding defensive numbers. At the plate, she earned her all-state status with an average of .440 and an on-base average of .478. Throughout the season, she registered 48 RBIs off 37 hits. "Sarah was a four-year regular at shortstop that just made plays," said head softball coach Darrin Young. "She also had a great season at the plate."

Cadiz Women’s Golf League “Play of the Day” On Wednesday, June 8, the Cadiz Women's Golf League was hosted by Laura Daily and Donna Griffin. The Play of the Day was "N>O>S>E." The winners were Roberta Cireddu in first place, Kathy Newburn in second, and Donna Griffin in third. The putt winners were Kathy Newburn (28), Janis Cook (30), and Joanne Hardman and Tracy Amos (tied with 31). Janis Cook, Billie Stanwick, Joanne Hardman and Jan Shultz each had birdies. Chip-ins were had by Donna Griffin, Kathy Smith, Kathy Newburn, Linda Tyson, Carole Patton, Marilyn Kenny, Tracy Amos, and Jan Shultz. Next week's hostesses will be Denise Augustine and Bonnie Beetham, and the Play of the Day will be "alternate the pink ball."

Flockings are back!

The Harrison Central Music Boosters are at it again, and the Harrison News-Herald was the first stop for the plastic lawn flamingos as they migrate throughout Cadiz. For those who might not know the rules, the Boosters and their flamboyant flamingos appear seemingly out of the blue at a local home or business. However, in a fundraising effort, the flamingos only ever think about moving after a generous $25 donation to the boosters club. At the time of publication, the flock has since moved on and taken over the courthouse's lawn, which can be seen with the dozens of birds and equally gaudy sign. Stay tuned for the next stop on the flamingos' travels.

As to whether the split between the commissioners and the HCIC might have influenced the race between Bethel and Corder, Arbaugh said he believed it had an impact “I don’t believe it was the whole impact, but if I had been Don Bethel, I would not have let that happen right before an election. I would have worried about the election first.”

Arbaugh believes that as long as Coffland and Bethel are both there, nothing will change in the relationship between the two groups.

In the meantime, the projects involving the Harrison Power Plant and Western Magnesium, both of which will be located at Industrial Park, remain promising. The power plant is estimated to bring in approximately $1.1 billion and open up 20–25 jobs postconstruction. Western Magnesium should bring in between $1.3 and $1.5 billion and open up 250 to 500 jobs.

The HCIC had no meetings in June due to scheduling issues, but Arbaugh stated that right now, the HCIC is 100% united, and everyone was present at their most recent meeting.

Ann’s Advice

Dear Ann, My husband has just had a recent surgery, and he is home now recovering. He is not a very good patient! He wants to get up and do things that he’s not allowed to do, take different amounts of his medications, etc. How do I care for a difficult patient?

Sincerely, Untrained Nurse Dear Untrained Nurse, When the patient is your husband, it can make things a bit more interesting. Sometimes husbands think they can do anything — whether or not it is a good idea. Respect their sense of individualism, but do your best to make it fun that they get to be taken care of and served. They might just lay there a little bit longer if it is not torture. Hopefully, he heals quickly, and your further service will not be needed! Remind him graciously that if he pushes himself before the healing has begun, it will only prolong the recovery. If he ends up hurting himself because he was stubborn, you have to be mature and not say, “I told you so.” I know from experience how difficult it can be to hold your tongue in that situation!

Whatever the case, love him the best you can while you still have the chance. Remember that the hard times are the most important times in your relationship. Deep down: Most everyone likes a little extra attention, even if they don’t show appreciation!

Love, Ann

Jenna Young: The senior spent her prep career as the first baseman for the Huskies.

Young also exhibited her offensive abilities with a .387 batting average and a .545 on-base percentage. She also had 27 hits that drove home 21 RBIs. Young, too, was featured in both the East-West Senior All-Star and OhioWest Virginia All-Star Games. "Jenna was a four-year starter at first base for us," Young said. "Jenna turned into a really good defensive first baseman, one of the [sic] at first I've had the privilege of coaching," he added.

Maddy Butler: The rising senior has handled third base for Harrison Central for the last years. Butler is an ace at the position. When she is involved in the assist, the runner had better have speed because her timing, speed, and trajectory are to be respected. On offense, Butler was the right choice for lead-off. Her speed allowed her to basically "steal at will." She had a batting average of .400 and an on-base average of .541 for the season. She hit 30 times over the season and drove in 15 runs. "Maddy was a speedy lead-off hitter," said Young. "If Maddy got on base, she scored. That's the bottom line. She made things happen on the basepaths. I'm looking forward to her senior season," Young concluded.

The Harrison County Military Support Group met on June 7 for the 4th of July packing. We packed for eight soldiers and mailed two boxes each — and also extra boxes with cookies to be shared. Donations and volunteers are what make this activity possible. We would like to thank the following people and groups for their assistance with this packing: Jim and Lois Chaney, Robin Miles, Ada Clark, Barbie Elliot of Capital Health, Stacey Greer, Sarah Snyder, Abbie and Scott English, Nancy Pulka, Robin Romshak, Lois Puskarich, Doris Crawford, Karen York, Lynden Gladd, and the Harrison News-Herald.

If we missed anyone, please excuse us. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of lists and people.

Enjoy a healthy and safe summer, and remember that each of you is very important.

Cadiz Woman’s Civic Club dissolves

The Cadiz Woman's Civic Club held its June 2 at the Vineyard 22 Winery with eight members present.

The ladies had a social period with conversation and wine and then enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by the winery.

The business meeting was by president Kathy Depew with the reading of the Club Collect.

Susan Adams was acting Recording Secretary in the absence of Recording Secretary Jennifer Dunlap. There were no previous minutes or correspondence to share. The treasurer's report was given by treasurer Porsche Beetham and approved as read.

The group's biggest talking point evolved around the club's dissolution; the nominating committee could not fill officer positions for the 2022–2023 calendar year. Membership is down, and the club lacks the human resources to effectively carry out its work. The Covid pandemic made it difficult for the club to meet and carry out its purpose "of our fellowship shall be to promote the enhancement of charitable and civic activities of Harrison County, by fundraising, public awareness, and education."

From 2020 to the present, it has not been possible to hold meetings, raise funds, or have speakers share with the group what is going on in the community. Without the prospect of gaining new members and not having current

members hold key positions, the group voted by majority to dissolve the club.

Steps have been planned to carry out the club's dissolution to ensure that all financial obligations and accounts closures will be met.

The current executive board, which consists of the officers and trustees, shall continue to take care of the club's business up to and including the filing of taxes in 2023.

The Cadiz Woman's Civic Club was organized on Nov. 7, 1935. Throughout its 87 years of existence, women from Cadiz have joined forces to make the community a better place to live. Through various community projects such as the playground at the old Harrison County Fairgrounds, donations to the current playground at Sally Buffalo Park, bricking the Harrison County Visitors Center, and participating in the Cadiz Business Association's Community Recognition Banquet. The group sent money several times to Uplift International to help volunteer medical teams with expenses to go to the Philippines for cleft palate surgeries. The club also supported "Close Up" at Harrison Central High School to send students to Washington D.C. The group would host speakers from authors, community leaders, business leaders, and elected officials to keep the members educated on what was happening around the

community and give them insight on what they could do to help. All the women who have been part of the organization over the years have gone beyond everyday duty to help each other and the people of Cadiz, the county, and internationally. They should all be proud of the work that they accomplished.

To everything, there is a season. The one that began on Nov. 7, 1935, ended on June 2, 2022. The decision was not an easy one and was given great consideration. The club would like to thank all the folks who have supported us through the years. We appreciate all who came to our fundraisers, those who bought pecans, the speakers that turned down their gratuity, and all who donated to the cause. You are all appreciated and are part of the history of the club.

The members of the Cadiz Woman's Civic Club are involved in other organizations in Cadiz and the county. They will still be out there working to make this part of the world a better place to work, live, and raise a family.

You will see them still going beyond that everyday duty. The current officers and trustees would like to thank all the women, past and present, for all they did to make the Cadiz Woman's Civic Club such a successful club over the decades.

MWCD Conservancy Court appoints new member to Board of Directors

NEW PHILADELPHIA — Fourteen judges attending a conservancy court session of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) have appointed retired Major General Ronald (Ron) E. Dziedzicki to fill a vacancy on the five-member MWCD Board of Directors. Dziedzicki, of Medina County, was appointed to a three-year term on the Board of Directors during the court's session held Friday, June 3, in the Tuscarawas County Courthouse (New Philadelphia). Dziedzicki fills the unexpired term of Clark E. Sprang of Holmes County, who is relocating out of the area. Sprang has served on the MWCD Board since June 2015.

Dziedzicki, a cottage site lessee at Atwood Lake, graduated from Ursuline College in Pepper Pike with a bachelor's in nursing in 1981. He received his MBA from John Carroll University in 1992, the U.S. Air Force War College in 2003, and his master's in strategic studies from the U.S. Army War College in 2010.

Dziedzicki came to University Hospitals of Cleveland (now University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center) as the vice president of medical surgical nursing in 2001. After numerous promotions, he became the Chief Operating Officer at UHCMC in January 2013. In

November 2014, he also assumed the position of Chief Operating Officer of University Hospitals Physician Services. He retired from his position at the end of 2019. Prior to coming to UH, he was the Regional Vice President of Operations for CIGNA Health Care, Midwest Region.

Dziedzicki served in the United States Army Reserve for 32 years, attaining the rank of major general and retired in 2016. His last duty position was as the commanding general for the 3rd Medical Command (Deployment Support). His military awards include the U.S. Army Distinguished Service Medal, U.S. Army Legion of Merit (LOM), Meritorious Service Medal (4 OLC), and Army Commendation Medals (4 OLC). In addition, he is a member of the Order of Military Medical Merit.

Since retiring from the U.S. Army and University Hospitals, he has performed independent work for various consulting firms — both in the U.S. and international — in the areas of healthcare operations, physician practice management, leader development, and strategic planning.

Ron is married to Mary Ann Dziedzicki.

They have three sons, Matthew (Jessica), Christopher, and David (Sarah), and four wonderful grandchildren: Brendan, Abby, Eli,

and Anna.

The court also reappointed James A. Gresh of Stark County for a second term on the board.

"I congratulate both Jim and Ron on their appointment to the Board of Directors," said Craig Butler, MWCD Executive Director.

"Jim has provided strong leadership in his first term on the board, and I am excited for his return. I also welcome Ron to the Board. Ron has been an active member of our Development Advisory Committee and is committed to assisting MWCD grow and make positive impacts to residents and the area as a member of the board."

Other members of the MWCD Board of Directors include president Gordon T. Maupin of Wayne County, who is the retired executive director of the Wilderness Center; Joanne Limbach of Tuscarawas County, who is the former Ohio Tax Commissioner and Tuscarawas County Commissioner; and Robert S. Moorehead of Guernsey County, who is a retired Guernsey County Judge.

Members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Conservancy Court to oversee the affairs of the MWCD, which manages more than 57,000 acres of land and water dedicated to public use.

Moorefield Twp. VFD holds 75th Fireman’s Fair

BY DEB MILLIGAN Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer The firemen had a beautiful day to hold the one-day fair on June 11 in Piedmont.

They began with old-fashioned games for all ages. The winners included Clara Biddlestone and Caleb Clouston in the frog race; Thomas Clouston in bubble blowing; Jody Hyde in the seed-spitting contest; Thomas and Caleb Clouston in the sack and running races; Jody Hyde and Bobby Biddlestone in the egg toss;

Thomas Clouston, Freddie Hyde, and Clara Biddlestone in the frisbee toss, and Freddie Hyde and Hydee Cloustonin in horseshoe pitching.

The eat stand opened with a chicken BBQ and a fish fry. Piedmont's Auctioneer Aaron Pushkarich and helper Jim Bear did a fine job auctioneering off items donated by businesses; they had a table set up with items from Crossroads Counseling Services. Then the parade was led by Harrison County Sheriff Joe Myers, with DJ Jeremy Thompson playing

music. The day ended with prizes: Courtney Blake won a large cooler, Tucker Fenstamaker won a smaller cooler, Tina Morrison won a fire pit, Heather Rogers won a cooler with wine, Zoe Arnold won an American Bear decor flag, and 50-50 winner-Tina Morrison won the 5050.

Fire department members wish to thank everyone who made the fair a success. Without your continued support, the Fireman's Fair would not be possible. A big thank you also goes out to those on call 24 hours a day.

It sounds like lots of fun.

FLUSHING

By Judy Ballog Holmes The Flushing High School alumni banquet was held on Saturday, June 11, in the fire hall’s dining room; there were about 75 in attendance.

Jane Ballog Barker celebrated her 75th-alumna anniversary. She graduated in 1947. Jane and her daughter, Lois, traveled the farthest, coming from Billings, Montana. There were seven from the Class of 1967 celebrating their 55th anniversary: Linda Albright Alexander, Judy Ballog Holmes, Linda Gregg Vincenzo, Butch Vcelka, Carl Dale, Al Turley, and Patti Harris Spengler. The officers reelected for next year included Bill Ralston as president, John Cieslka as vice president, and Jackie Holloway Lyle as secretary-treasurer.

Two $500 Flushing Alumni Dale Holmes Memorial Scholarships were given to two Union Local Students with a direct descendent who graduated from Flushing High School.

They were Brenna Perkins, granddaughter of Al and Marilyn Murphy Turley, and Gwen Kovacs, great-granddaughter of Doris Fuller Kovacs. The Alumni Association has given over $30,000 in scholarship money since its inception several years ago.

The drive-thru produce market sponsored by the Ministerial Association will be held

A reminder businesses will be closed on June 20 due to Juneteenth.

Congratulations to Randy Cunningham and Erika Ikey, who were united in marriage over the weekend.

Congratulations to Ann Milleson, who was on the first-place team at Cadiz Women’s Golf League.

Sunday at the Freeport United Methodist Church was the 90th-birthday celebration for Martha McElhaney. Her daughter Linnah Hodkinson introduced the family, and Martha’s grandkids sang “Happy Birthday” to her. Lay leader Nick Puskarich read about what happened back in 1932, thanked her for all we learned from her, and gave the children’s sermon “Temptation” God will help us. Pastor Sandra Cappel, who had attended Charge Conference, talked about “Serving the Same God” — that everyone is welcome to our church. Rick Moore had the prayer.

Everyone enjoyed the food at the birthday party, along with fellowship.

Prayer request: Charlie Bardall, Jim “Tank” Clark, Ollie Workley, Ron Roseberry, Bob and Nancy Clendening, Freeport postmaster Lou Romanstein, Ann Miller, Wayne and Mary Jane Adams, Donnie Pettay, Elizabeth Henry, the families of Buster Smith and Gregg Prunty, and all of those in the hospital and in nursing homes.

After a noisy night of wind, storm, and heavy rain on Tuesday, the state, county, township, and town employees were kept busy with trees and branches down everywhere.

Some people did not have power, electricity, or telephones. The people want to give a big thank you to all the people that worked many hours to get service back.

Freeport Volunteer Fire Department members are working on getting ready for the 2022 annual fair. Anyone wishing to run for king, queen, or baby contest can call Linda Fritter at 740-213-9197 Area vacation bible school will be at the Freeport United Methodist Church on July 11–14, from 9 a.m. until noon, then on July 20–22 at Deersville United Methodist Church from 5–7 p.m.

HOLLOWAY

By Susan Adams Thank you to all who supported the fish fry at the Holloway VFD fireman’s hall on Friday, June 10. The next fish fry will be Friday, July 8, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Volunteers are needed.

Driving through Holloway on the 10th, it was moving to see all the banners and

American flags. I was glad there wasn’t a lot of traffic, and I could go slow to read all the names. One cannot help but feel the pride and the appreciation for all those who served, some giving the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you to the families that have honored their loved ones with a banner and to the Holloway VFD for taking on this project and buying the brackets.

If you need to speak with someone at the city building (mayor’s office or water department), please call 740-968-4024 for an appointment.

If it’s an emergency, please call 740-510-5521.

There is a dropbox in the city building door for water bill payments. Please no cash payment, just check or money order.

The Holloway United Methodist Church is still holding services on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Donations are always welcomed. (Send to Holloway UM Church, P.O. Box 173, Holloway, Ohio 43985). The church also has two rooms available to rent for wedding showers, baby showers, or meetings. Call Ruth Robertson for more information at 740-9684264.

The Old Timers’ facilities are available for birthday parties, weddings, receptions, or family reunions. To inquire or book an event, contact Anita Schaeffer at 740-433-5074 or Lori Sharp at 740-510-0847.

Saturday, June 25 (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) will be a tire-recycling collection sponsored by JB Green with the Belmont County Township Trustees at the Belmont County Fairgrounds. Standard car and light truck tires are accepted; no business, semi-trailer, agricultural machinery, or other large tires. There is a 10-tire limit per vehicle (EPA transport regulations). A good time to get rid of old tires.

On Saturday, June 25 (1:30 p.m.), Bob Tomer’s church in Moorefield is having “A Gospel Sing” at the Glen Helter Pavilion at the Old Timers building in Holloway. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Come out and hear some wonderful music.

Bring a lawn chair and get comfortable, and visit with old friends and make some new ones.

Attention Holloway alumni: Saturday, July 23, will be the Holloway alumni banquet.

Because of Covid, there has not been an alumni banquet for two years. A social hour begins at 4 p.m. (come and get together with old friends), and the banquet starts at 6 in the Old Timers banquet hall (old school grounds.)

The cost of dinner is $20. Raffle tickets will be sold at the door: $1 each for winning $100. The alumni dues are $5. Make reservations by July 15, 2022. Make checks payable to Holloway Alumni Association (W. Leroy Beil, 1664 Gypsum Circle, Mesquite NV 89027-1314, mail before July 15).

The 74th Holloway Old Timers Festival will be Sept. 2–4 this year. Save the dates.

The Holloway Volunteer Fire Department and Activities Committee have been working on a project to have banners celebrating the men and women who have served or currently serving in the U.S. military placed on the power poles throughout the town. There is still time to participate. The banner costs have gone up to $75. The fire department is purchasing the brackets, which now cost $75. New forms (with details) are available on the Holloway Volunteer FD Activities Committee Facebook page. In addition, there are forms in the little library box at the Holloway VFD activity building.

They are also trying to find photos of the Holloway men who are honored on the plaque in front of the Holloway United Methodist Church. These three men gave their all in WWII. They have found the family of Hewitt F. Pierce but are still looking for the family of Harry O. Guthrie and David A. Jackson. If you can help, please contact any VFD or Activities Committee member or Ruth Robertson at the church. Thank you.

Anyone wishing to donate to this worthy cause may mail a check to the Holloway VFD (P.O. Box 176, Holloway, OH 439850176) and mark the memo line with “Banner Project.”

HOPEDALE

By J.P. Wilson Hi, everybody; hope you had a good week.

As I write this, we are just getting over that bad storm that hit. We are lucky; nothing bad happened to us. I hope everybody else out there is OK. Looking for something fun this weekend?

Check out the eighth annual Baby Bison Days Charity Pow Wow at the Boss Bison Ranch. It will be held from 10–6 on Saturday and 10–5 on Sunday (at the ranch at 45701 Unionvale Road). Admission is just $5 and includes a nonperishable food item. This intertribal pow wow is dedicated to honoring all veterans and first responders. We encourage the public to come and enjoy Native culture in the form of music, dance, art, and craft. This event supports the HARCATUS Community Action Agency and Food Pantry. Sounds like fun and helps out a good cause!

Also, this weekend, you do not need a fishing license in Ohio, so go enjoy the outdoors.

Hope you had a good time at the Scio Street Fair; now it’s time to get ready for the Harrison County Fair. There is going to be a ton of fun stuff to do and see, and most importantly, come out to support those in 4-H and all their animal and book projects. They worked hard!

Don’t forget Sunday is Father’s Day. I want to wish my dad Eric a Happy Father’s Day! You are the best; I love you, dad. Hope everybody has a great week, and don’t forget to send me local news you would like to see in the paper at hopedalenews@yahoo.com.

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy CADIZ — With the Harrison County Fair arriving next week, can summer be almost half over? Committees have been working hard on the fairgrounds that are now leveled for the rides, farm equipment for display, food wagons, and game stands.

And what great sweets there are in the home-baked department contest! Along with the canned goods made fresh by the cooks, I bought a half-pint of hot peppers last year, and they could almost melt the bottom of a skillet when added to any meat dish I was cooking. Farther down in the 4-H building is where auctioneer Steve Birney judges the baked goods. His dad is busy doing work for the animals being weighed in. All of the Gary Cain Auction group is nice to me as well.

It is a long, hot day, but everyone comes away with a wonderful feeling. To mention them all would take loads of time, but you can be sure that the board members, 4-H leaders, and others go all out to make the fair a success.

4-H members work for over 10 hours to get the slips signed by bidders. They come to love their animals, and for some, it is a very sad time if they are taken to sale.

And the Harrison County Agricultural Society decided last year that it was time for a new barn as the current one is nearly 100 years old. “We have maximized our use of the structure and need the help of those who are interested in utilizing a sturdy barn to house the animals due to the unsafe conditions presently.”

The main barn will be 40 feet by 12 feet by 180 feet with 30 stalls. There will be a tack room, a dressing room, and two wash stalls.

Those knowing who will have horses there for events will be well-pleased.

There are six levels of donations for the new barn: Friends of the Ag Society (up to $499), Bronze ($500 to $5,000), Silver ($5,001 to $10,0000), Gold ($10,001 to 20,000), Platinum ($20,001 to $50,000), and Presidential ($50,001 and up).

The silver level offers the opportunity to purchase naming rights for a stall, but it’s only available for the first 30 $5,000 donations.

The gold level offers naming options for the tack room, dressing room, and wash stalls and is available for the first four $20,000 donations. Platinum level offers naming rights of the announcer booth for the first donation of $50,000 plus two tickets per donor for a year. The presidential level offers two naming opportunities: one for the barn and one for the arena. Naming rights are available for the first two $100,000 donations, it was noted. Any and all naming rights will remain in place for 15 years.

One hundred percent of the funds raised go directly to the new barn, which is a 501(c) nonprofit. Our goal is to provide a safe environment to continue our community’s equine-related events.

Checks can be made payable to the Harrison County Agricultural Society (P.O. Box 274. Cadiz, Ohio 43907). You can also visit www.givebutter.com/horsebarn. Please feel free to contact Rich Eberhart at 740-5175199 or Vickie Coffland at 740-491-491-0378.

See you at the fair.

DeWine on latest statewide school safety efforts COLUMBUS — On Monday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 99 and provided an update on Ohio's new and ongoing school safety initiatives.

"Our goal is to continue to help our public and private schools get the tools they need to protect our children," said Governor DeWine. "Working together, we have come a long way to improve school safety in Ohio over the last decade, and we must continue this progress. We have an obligation to do everything we can every single day to try and protect our kids."

House Bill 99, sponsored by Thomas Hall (R-Madison Township), does the following: Allows the previous practice of permitting school boards to choose to arm specific staff members and mandates reasonable training requirements for those individuals. For decades, state law was generally understood to permit law enforcement officers, security officers employed by the local school board, and "any other person who has written authorization from the board of education or governing body of a school" to be armed on school grounds. Ohio law did not previously address training for this third category of individuals; however, a split-decision ruling by the Ohio Supreme Court last year interpreted statutes related to this category of individuals as requiring more than 700 hours of basic peace officer training (most of which is unrelated to school safety) or 20 years of law enforcement experience, making the third option impractical for most schools. The Ohio Supreme Court's majority opinion acknowledged that the legislature could change and clarify the law. House Bill 99 once again allows the previous practice of permitting local school boards to make a local decision on whether or not they will allow specific individuals to be armed on school grounds.

House Bill 99 also codifies a reasonable training requirement of up to 24 hours of initial school-specific training and up to eight hours of yearly school-specific requalification training to be developed by the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC).

Governor DeWine has directed the OSSC, which he created in 2019 to focus exclusively on the safety of Ohio schools, to require the maximum amount of training allowable in the law (24 initial hours and eight annual requalification hours). He has also asked OSSC to create an additional training curriculum for districts that choose to require training above what is required by the state. The bill also mandates yearly criminal background checks for those permitted by their school boards to carry a firearm on school grounds. It is important to emphasize that the bill does not mandate the arming of school staff members but leaves the decision entirely to local school boards, which have the best understanding of the needs of their individual districts.

Appropriates $6 million over the remainder of the current budget cycle to expand the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) and create a new OSSC Safety & Crisis Division. The new OSSC Safety & Crisis Division will be led by a chief mobile training officer who will oversee 16 new regional training officers working within the 16 established Ohio Department of Education school safety support team regions. This new team of 17 OSSC staff members will develop the required initial training curriculum, yearly requalifying curriculum, and optional additional training curriculum for those authorized by their school districts to carry a firearm on school grounds. As opposed to 700 hours of training primarily unrelated to school safety, House Bill 99 requires relevant, school-specific training (as outlined in the previous bullet). Training modules will include scenario-based training, mitigation and de-escalation techniques, communications, neutralization of potential threats and active shooters, accountability, reunification, psychology of critical incidents, crisis intervention, trauma and first aid care, history and pattern of school shootings, tactics of responding to critical incidents, tactical live firearm training, and realistic urban training.
