CADIZ—Harrison Central High School’s auditorium was full for the opening night of Grease. Saturday’s performances were very similar. The play, choreographed by Bailie Ray and directed by Ashley Doren, Bailie Ray with assistant director Taya Rocchi and technical director Karli Ray was quite the hit!

The love story of Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski and the ups and downs of Rydell High was superbly performed. A very talented cast led by Taylor Cope (Danny) and Alex Dray (Sandy) captivated the audience.

The students who made up the PINK LADIES, the BURGER PLACE BOYS, and other supporting staff were outstanding in their roles as well. The backstage crew was comprised of students and staff from HC and were also top of the line with the numerous set changes, all done flawlessly. Clearly, if you missed this production, you missed great entertainment!

Council addresses unruly Sherrodsville Lion’s Club juvenile shenanigans donates memorial buddy bench

BY JACQUIE HUMPHREY Correspondent

LEESVILLE—At the March meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, three members of the Sherrodsville Lion’s Club attended to present a gift to the school.

Milo Baker, Valerie Gardner, and Gabriella Stanek presented the “Rocket Buddy Bench” in memory of Braylen Novak, a member of Conotton’s Class of 2022, who was killed in a tragic car accident just months before his graduation. Novak’s parents, Stan and Tanya, were also at the meeting to attend the presentation and honor their son.

Baker, who has been active at Conotton for many years, shared a story of Braylen as a small child and said that “he exemplified the meaning of friendship.” Baker listed several of the many endearing qualities of Novak, including his gravitational personality and engaging smile. Baker told those present that the bench was a gift from the Lion’s Club and its members, with the hope that Braylen will always be remembered. Baker said that “his (Braylen’s) spirit of friendship will remain.”

Board President Chris Bower thanked Baker and the club members for the gift Stan and Tanya Novak sit on the new bench dedicated to their late as the board unanimously accepted the son, Braylen, in Connotton Valley’s Rocket Center. Behind them, from left to right, stands Valerie Gardner, Milo Baker, and Gabriella generous donation. Bower further thanked Stanek of the Lion’s Club.

ADENA—Adena Village Council held their monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 14, with a full house. The meeting started with the approval of the minutes and the finance report. A village resident came in to discuss the possibility of vacating an alley that hadn’t been used in many years. She personally maintains this alley and takes care of any maintenance it needs. Council and the Solicitor Adam Martello are looking into the road maps and the laws and figuring out a resolution for the resident’s request.

Police Chief David Wojtas gave his report. There was a recent incident of three female juveniles jumping from the roof of the Methodist church into the bushes and damaging the property. They have photos of said act in progress and believe they can identify the juveniles.

Nicholas Wallace and R.J. Konkoleski spoke to Wojtas and the rest of the council about cars that are broken down or have expired tags parked on the roads. Wojtas commented that the state patrol was brought in at one point to help handle the situation and that it is a continuous problem. He’s working hard to clean up the village; unfortunately, he’s not entirely familiar with the side of the law that handles dilapidated structures and abandoned cars. Thankfully, after discussing their options, they came to a mutual resolution. A warning will be issued to the owners that they have so much time to clean up or remove the property in violation of village ordinances and health department laws. If they do not comply, a citation will be given, the vehicle will be

towed, and the resident will be required to attend court and pay the fee to get their property back.

Street Supervisor Mike Reynolds began the street report with good news. The equipment for the skid steer and truck had finally arrived.

At the last meeting, council moved to purchase small equipment needed to maintain roadways and help with the water drainage problem. They purchased a ditching bucket to rebuild hillsides and make drainage ditches to help with the coming rains, an 18-inch bucket to help with water meter installations, and a street brush to assist in keeping the roads clear of debris. All equipment is being prepared for when warmer weather finally comes. Unfortunately, the village truck has been having issues, so now they are looking for a new truck. They will also be in discussion with the street committee to officially make this decision.

Mayor Brenda Roski commended Sebring Excavating for the great work they did on Elm Street. A long-time water break is fixed, and they hope to have taken care of most of the water runoff issues.

In July, construction will start on S. Bridge Street (Church Hill). It’s a $1 million complete resurfacing and curbing project. Detours will be posted when the project starts. The project is expected to last three weeks.

Kimble is hosting a spring cleanup day for their customers on Thursday, April 13. R.J. Konkoleski spoke to Kimble Recycling and Waste Disposal about potentially getting a large rollaway to have a tire removal day for village residents.

Council will let the residents know the details when they are able to have discussions with Kimble. The next council meeting is April 11.

Water Department braces for inevitable hiring demand

BY KRISTI TULLIS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer CADIZ—After a roll call on March 16, the Cadiz Village Council meeting began with two goals established for the water department.

There are 12 hydrants slated to be fixed, and these are on a list for 2023-2024, running at a minimum of one per month. It was also announced that statewide, 50 percent of fulltime employees would be retiring, so Village Administrator Brandon Ludwig asks that residents remember employees to be trained are from younger generations within the community. Patience will be a must throughout

this process over the next few years.

The Sally Buffalo Park lottery bids were completed on March 5. While members are expected to have payment by the first day of camping on April 1, there is a future plan to move this date up to February or March next year. There will be seven new sites when work is completed, including electricity, and as of now, it is about four days ahead of schedule.

The south and center project is about 60-70 percent completed. The lining is done about six weeks ahead of schedule. Council Member Billy Hyde also mentioned the need for a sidewalk on St. Clair Avenue and Route 9. He witnessed children walking on the road after school, and this has raised a serious concern.

Whether this is the responsibility of the school or not, he recommended that this needs to be discussed in future meetings.

In other news, a total of ten street lights have been repaired.

The previous court date was moving into April regarding seven appropriation cases for Northline, Phase II. A total of 90 easements were needed, and the village has recovered all but seven. Also discussed at the last appropriations meeting was to ask the council to give the village administrator the ability to spend up to $10,000 without the consent of the council on an as-needed basis. A motion was made and passed.

The council also agreed for the park

board at Sally Buffalo Park to provide a list of recommended vendors with the rental of Wallace Lodge. While no specific vendor comes attached to this rental, a list of preferred vendors can be provided if needed.

Before the close of the meeting, Mayor John Magliore read through ordinances for the village that passed by vote. Also, Mayor Magliore announced the Veteran’s Memorial, which will be held on May 29 at 11 a.m., has been moved from the square at the courthouse to the Stevenson Memorial Center. He asks that residents take note of this change.

The next council meeting for the Village of Cadiz will be on April 6 at 7 p.m.

Court intervention program sees success

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ—Despite a recent slip-up, Eric Novak seems to be doing well in the Intervention in Lieu of Conviction program.

He has been participating in the program since December, and probation officer Sarah Costine said, “He’s doing well; he’s attending treatment.“ The program allows defendants considered drug dependent to undergo counseling and treatment instead of being sent to jail. If Novak completes the year-long program successfully, his felony in the fifth-degree aggravated possession of drugs charge will be dismissed.

Prosecuting Attorney Lauren Knight pointed out that Novak has not made any payments yet on his fines and court costs.

Novak has been faithfully attending counseling meetings. His only slip-up was a few weeks ago when he tested positive for alcohol. His most recent tests have all been clean, and Judge Hervey encouraged him to remain so.

“It sounds like you’re doing okay, no drugs, that’s good. But you gotta watch the alcohol, too, because they usually go hand in hand. Keep doing the program, keep going to counseling, stay out of trouble, and then start paying off your fines and costs.“

Eric Novak was last seen by the court in December 2022. Novak was placed in the treatment in lieu of conviction program and he is doing well so far.

Scio resident Mark Taylor pleaded guilty to aggravated possession of drugs, a felony in the second degree. Second-degree felonies hold presumed prison sentences of at least two years.

Taylor was sentenced to two years at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

This sentence could be increased by another year due to the Reagan Tokes law, which reintroduced indefinite sentencing for some felonies. Taylor will also pay the mandatory minimum fine and have his license suspended for at least one year.

James Hiles pleaded guilty to aggravated possession of drugs. The state’s plea agreement was for two years of community-based controls with a reserved sentence due to Hiles scoring as a high risk on the Ohio Risk Assessment System.

Once he is released from EOCC, he will be under supervision with Carroll and Harrison Counties. Generally, a person can have all their supervision done by one probation office to mitigate the burden of reporting to multiple offices, sometimes more than once a week.

Hiles will have to initially check in with both offices and then put in a request to transfer his Harrison County case to Carroll County’s probation office.

Hiles was sentenced to two years of community-based controls and 80 hours of community service with a reserved sentence of 10 months.

James Hiles was sentenced to communitybased controls for two years, which he will likely try to transfer over to Carroll County, where he will also be under supervision.

CADIZ POLICE DEPARTMENT 2/10 – Officers on routine patrol were called to a residence about three juveniles breaking windows at an abandoned property. The caller identified one of the youths, and an officer went to the youth’s home. He was able to speak with the youth’s mother, who said she didn’t know where he was, but he had been with two friends. She called him, and while on speakerphone, he asked if the police were looking for him. His mother told him that they were and asked where he was. The youth said he was not coming home and threatened selfharm. The officer went to speak with the two other juveniles, but the mother of one of them became verbally belligerent and said she wouldn’t allow him to speak with them. He left another officer with her and continued looking for the first youth.

The youth was located and observed to be intoxicated. He had a cut on one of his wrists. At the station, he was checked by a squad and given a breathalyzer, which came back at .168. It was decided he would be transported to the hospital, and charges would be pressed at a later date.

An officer on patrol noticed a vehicle sitting by the playground at Sally Buffalo Park with its running lights on. As dispatch ran the plates, a male exited the vehicle. The officer immediately smelled burnt marijuana and asked if there was anything illegal in the car. The male stated he wasn’t aware of anything but the marijuana; however, he said he didn’t know if his passenger had anything. The passenger, identified as Irene Ritchie, said she didn’t have anything illegal except a fake urine sample for a drug test at work later. The officer got consent to search the vehicle.

He immediately discovered marijuana and several drug abuse instruments. As Ritchie was being placed in the back of a cruiser, she threw a small bag under the seat. The bag appeared to hold methamphetamine. More suspected meth and a couple of meth pipes were found in the vehicle where Ritchie was sitting. The driver was issued a citation for marijuana, and Ritchie was arrested.

A woman came to the station to report that her soon-to-be ex-husband had stolen her security camera the previous night. She had video evidence that he had done it. She also reported that two of her tires had been flattened, and one had a visible puncture mark. She had text messages as well that showed her husband admitting to taking the camera and promising to buy her a new one.

2/12 – 911 alerted the Cadiz Police to a domestic dispute in progress. On scene, the woman was covered in blood and told officers that her children’s father, Travis Stenson, had come to the house and started screaming at her about her cheating on him. When she ignored him, he left the residence. She said he came back a short time later and aggressively pounded on both the front and back doors. He broke a back window, but when he couldn’t get in through it, he went around the front of the house and shattered another window. He then entered the home, where he began breaking things and attacked the woman. He then went into the kitchen and loaded his firearm, threatening her with it. At this point, her sister showed up at the house, and Stenson left the residence. Another officer picked up Stenson away from the residence. The woman was treated for her injuries and said she would be leaving the house for the night. Stenson got five stitches in his hand at the hospital and was then booked into jail.

2/14 – A woman came to the station to report that her child’s father had been harassing her. She said she had made several previous reports about his behavior. She completed a written statement about the multiple incidences and said she just wished to file a report for documentation purposes.

An officer performing routine patrol observed a vehicle cross the double yellow line multiple times. He initiated a traffic stop. The driver said he didn’t have a license but had a Texas identification card. He gave the officer a name and date of birth that matched the card. He did not have a registration for the vehicle. When dispatch ran the information on the ID card, it came back to a different individual. The vehicle was then towed, with a hold placed on it until police could contact the owner. Both individuals in the vehicle were photographed, and they were able to contact someone to pick them up.

An officer was requested to accompany a probation officer in searching a juvenile’s room.

During the search, the officer located a box with a green leafy substance that had a faint smell of marijuana. There was also a vape pen with no cartridge in it. The evidence was taken back to the station, photographed, and destroyed while recorded on a body cam.

2/19 – An officer was called to speak with a woman who said a male had repeatedly been violating the protection order she had against him.

The male was still listed on her lease, and she’d been unable to remove him. He had come over multiple times, and she feared for her safety due to his history of domestic violence against her.

She gave the officer a Hopedale address the male should be at, and the officer had dispatch relay the information to county deputies. The officer was able to make contact with the male’s mother over the phone and told her to let her son know the police needed to speak with him about the situation.

2/20 – A couple came to the police station to report that a stolen phone’s location had pinged in Cadiz. The couple said that a man had taken the phone, and they had not initially reported it.

An officer went to the phone’s location but didn’t make contact with the suspect.

County Horse Director Shrontz excited for new role

CADIZ—The Harrison County Fair rolls around once a year, and those who get the opportunity to take their families and friends hardly notice what goes on in the very center.

The county fair is for everyone, and choosing your area of entertainment is 100% expected and 100% encouraged. The fair board is happy to see the grounds full of event participants, general admittance, and spectators. The overall desire is to see the crowds double and even triple each day of the event.

But what about the off-season? That “center of the fair” holds more than just a seasonal commitment; it is an annual responsibility.

While we go about our business and wait for another fair season to come around, many people are on the grounds. Sometimes they are there on a daily basis. These individuals' responsibilities are taking care of the farm animals housed and featured at the fair. These animals housed at the fairgrounds are in need of constant care and preparation for showing.

The equestrians must teach and practice for the horse shows. There are devoted individuals who must not only perform daily care and grooming but, just as importantly, provide training that requires maneuvering around and over obstacles.

The Harrison News-Herald spoke with Harrison County Fair Horse Director, Jourdan Shrontz. Shrontz graciously lent some insight into what the dedicated equestrian faces and what the horse committee must achieve.

"First of all, I am a Harrison County 4-H alumni," Shrontz said. "This is my first year in the position of horse director and my second year serving on the senior fair board. My other duties for the board include being the

sponsorship coordinator and the spring dinner committee. I also serve as a secretary for the 4-H committee (three years) and a Freeport Friends Club Advisor (three years), along with the horse committee itself. I am so excited about being the horse director this year. This has been a position I have looked forward to for quite some time now.

"My hope, along with the 4-H Horse Committee, is to grow the horse program here in Harrison County. This will be the third

year hosting a clinic just for our kids who are horse enthusiasts. We have a focus on the fundamentals of horsemanship, grooming, and animal husbandry. We had a veterinarian, Dr. Friend, out for informational talks. We also have had other professionals in the horse world come and provide insight into our goals.”

The members of our 4-H Horse Committee include Tiffany Sedgmer, Jessie Birney, Abby Jackson, and Shrontz. They are also Harrison County 4-H alumni.

Know the facts about young wildlife as spring starts COLUMBUS—Spring has started, and young wildlife will make appearances in backyards, local parks, and unexpected areas.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) ­ Division of Wildlife encourages Ohioans to keep wildlife wild by observing them from a distance and reducing interactions with young animals.

Wildlife parents rarely abandon their young.

A young animal’s best chance of survival is with its mother. Usually, young wildlife alone are not orphaned or abandoned but are waiting for a parent to return. Most wildlife taken in by people other than trained and licensed wildlife rehabilitators does not survive despite the good intentions of their rescuers.

Many species are raised by one parent and are often left alone during the day while the parent finds food. In the case of deer, a doe hides her young from predators by leaving them in a secluded spot such as a grassy meadow or a flower bed. A fawn has virtually no scent, and when left alone, it is difficult for predators to find. The doe is usually nearby and will tend to the fawn during the night. If

you find a fawn in your yard, keep pets away, minimize disturbances to the area, and wait for the mother to return.

Baby birds that have fallen from their nests are one of the creatures most likely to be encountered. Many times, these young birds do not need to be removed from the wild to survive. Contrary to popular belief, human scent will not prevent parents from returning to care for their young. Return a baby bird to its nest and walk away so the parents can feed it without fear of humans. If a natural nest can’t be located, parents will often care for baby birds placed nearby in a makeshift nest. Young birds with feathers that are flapping on the ground have likely left the nest on their own and are learning to fly. Keep pets away and give these fledglings the space to learn on their own.

It is usually a treat to observe a young animal, but that privilege becomes a responsibility if the animal has been orphaned, abandoned, or injured. If you see open wounds or other injuries, or you know for a fact that a young wild animal has lost its parent, research solutions before taking action. Specific guidance on how

to best help commonly encountered wildlife species is available on the Orphaned and Injured Wildlife page at wildohio.gov.

To help protect young and vulnerable wild animals, keep pets under control, so they do not raid nests or cause injuries. Remember to keep pets inoculated against parasites and diseases. Always check for nests before cutting down trees or clearing brush. It is best to cut trees and clear brush in the autumn after the nesting season is finished. Teach children to respect wildlife and their habitat by observing from a distance.

State and federal laws protect and regulate wildlife in Ohio, and only trained and licensed wildlife rehabilitators may possess and care for native wildlife.

Call 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543) or visit wildohio.gov to find a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area and to learn more about species-specific guidance. Human intervention is always a wild animal’s last hope for survival, never its best hope.

Good intentions can hurt. Keep wildlife in the wild.

The horse committee is responsible for hosting the "Night at the Races" fundraiser.

The committee is hoping to make this fundraiser an annual event to help raise money for the upkeep of the arena, as well as the soonto-be new barn. Shrontz added that there are a few small projects that need to be completed before the new barn. The committee is always looking for donations; these can be made out to the Harrison County Ag Society Horse Barn Project.

From a personal standpoint, Shrontz started riding when she was 12 years old. She competed in 4-H, state fairs, and open shows.

She has spent a brief period of time studying at The University of Findlay. Now, she focuses on her daughter, Lexi Stine, and her efforts in horse care and shows.

"Lexi competes on the Champion Hill Equestrian Team with the YEDA Association, as well as 4-H, open shows, the All American Youth Horse Show, YEDA Nationals, and American Quarter Horse Shows," Shrontz added.

"I currently work as an orthodontist assistant. I recently started The RhineStone Cowgirl LLC, which is my small independent salon.”

"The horse committee is proud of and uses a quote from Helen Keller as inspiration in their work. That quote is, ‘Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.’"

EMS backup service still uncertain

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ—As of the March 15 meeting, the Harrison County Commissioners have received no bids for the county’s backup EMS service.

“We need to go to plan B,” Commissioner Paul Coffland said. “I don’t know if we have a plan B.” Harrison Community Hospital currently serves the community by providing a backup ambulance service to residents. Their contract is up at the end of April, and the commissioners have been looking at alternative providers. If a suitable alternative cannot be found, many county residents may not be able to rely on an ambulance to reach them in an emergency.

Coffland said the office would be reaching out to HCH for an interim plan. He stressed that this is a county-wide issue and needs to be addressed with everyone involved.

Trading Anxiety for Peace

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

would we truly be able to say that our mind is fixed on the Lord? That time is the key to maintaining peace in our lives. When Jesus gave His landmark Sermon on the Mount, He talked a lot about worry. When He said, “I tell you, do not worry about your life,” the original word He used for worry means “To be torn apart by circumstances.”

Isn’t that exactly what anxiety, worry, and stress do to us? In an event most of us have heard about, the dinner at Mary and Martha’s house, anxiety and peace live in the same house, and the contrast couldn’t be clearer. Martha was frantically preparing dinner and resented that her sister Mary was sitting at Jesus’ feet listening to His words.

When Martha “the doer” starts barking out orders to the King of Kings to tell her sister to help, Jesus gives her the key to trading anxiety for peace, “Martha, dear Martha, you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it—it’s the main course and won’t be taken from her.” (Msg) The promises of God are the main course, whether it’s for freedom from anxiety or anything else in life. We make a choice to hang on to our anxiety, worries, and fear or to make the trade for His peace by sitting at His feet and listening to His Word.

We are an anxious society, and there is no denying it. The latest statistics from various psychological studies bear that out. Only 8% of the things we worry about are based on reality; the rest are just “maybe’s.” That means 92% of the things that cause anxiety and rob us of peace never happen. A full third of the things we are anxious about occurred in the past, and most are beyond fixing.

Twelve percent of us worry about our health even when we feel fine and aren’t even sick. Now, how many of the people in those statistics just mentioned are Bible-believing Christians? We can’t be sure. But Christians are tempted by the tempter to worry, and some of us are very good at it. But we have promises from God’s Word that are meant to carry us through. Promises like Psalm 55:22 “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” (NIV) And Isaiah 26:3-4 “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! (NLT) If each of us was to take a personal survey of our daily thought life, what percentage of our day

trustees are going to have to get together with us, and we have to figure out what we can do.”

He pointed out that fire and EMS services do not fall under the county, “I think you’ve heard it before, the county has no obligation to fund these services. Fortunately, we’re in a position where we can afford to do it, and we’ve been doing it for a number of years, but fire and EMS fall under the townships and the villages. If we don’t get some townships and villages to work together, we’re gonna have people that aren’t going to be served when they pick up the phone and call 911. That’s the scary part. No one wants to see that happen.”

The commissioners are always open to suggestions for county issues. Meetings are held every Wednesday at 10 a. m. in the courthouse. Please call in advance to be put on the agenda.

The Harrison County Home requested an additional $500,000 be appropriated for the new addition to the home.

“The money is there,” Coffland said. “It simply has not been appropriated. So this is not

a loan, and we’ve said this before, the county home has been pinching pennies for years to make this project a reality.”

There will be a second public hearing on March 29, 2023, at 10 a.m. in the commissioner’s office for the commissioners to apply for the Community Development Block Grant program. According to the HUD exchange website, this program “supports community development activities to build stronger and more resilient communities.”

“Citizens are encouraged to attend the support meeting… to express their views and comments on a proposed improvement project on behalf of the Harrison County Home,” Coffland read.

The commissioners will send a letter to Congressman Bill Johnson in which they share support for the building of a new water treatment plant out of the flood plain in Bowerston. The current plant was flooded in February of last year, and the new plant will make improvements to the well, which will be a much-needed upgrade for the village.

LOOK AT THE PAST

Harrisville High School

By Susan Adams

From a postcard provided

by Virgina McFarlan.

Recorded in the Times Leader Monday, July 25, 2005, “The Village of Harrisville is bidding farewell to a piece of history after the partial collapse of the Harrisville School in March. The school was constructed in 1886 and housed students from first through eighth grades. It closed in the mid-1960s.”

In an old Look At The Past (no date), it states that the high school closed in 1924, and the students went to Adena. I love the way the brickwork over the front door has interlocking H’s for Harrisville High. Or maybe I am looking at it wrong?

Scio gears up for Rt. 646 repair & oral arguments in annex lawsuit

BY KRISTI TULLIS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

SCIO—The contract from the Scio Volunteer Fire Department needs to be completed and returned to the council to be kept on file for the year. The auditor’s office has proposed that this be filed every five years to allocate water usage so that it remains unbilled water loss. If this contract fails to be returned, the metered water will need to be charged, and the village hopes to avoid this. Also, the water department will change the current starting wage from $12/hour to $14/hour.

It was mentioned that a resident on Water Street reports having a crushed sewer line near where the line was replaced recently. Village Administrator Jake Tubaugh stated that, unfortunately, the burden of proof must be placed on the resident. The resident will need to dig up the line to show if it is damaged. The village will repair what is necessary.

The UV system at the wastewater plant is awaiting parts for repairs. What was ordered came wrong, so this repair has been delayed.

There is a required completion date of May 1.

A few reminders: The application for the OHIO EPA Grant submission was accepted on January 24. Notification of selection is still pending.

TUSCON Inc. was awarded the bid for the construction of State Route 646. This will begin on April 1.

Also, the court date is set for May 3, 2023, to hear oral arguments for the annexation petition. This was filed with the Seventh District Court of Appeals.

A motion was passed on hiring Sierra Stull as a full-time employee beginning on March 25. Another motion was passed to update verbiage in the employee handbook.

This is now digital, and copies will be given to employees. These changes will be effective after April 10. Changes are kept on hand.

Four Huskies’ bowlers named All-Times Leader

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

CADIZ—On Sunday, the names of the individuals who earned All-Times Leader bowling honors were released. For Harrison Central, that meant that four bowlers would take their place on the 2023 All Times Leader’s Bowling Team. Kobe Hennis, Chad Viers, Tylynn Smith, and Lauren Best all earned the right to be members of this year’s Times Leader bowling squad.

Kobe Hennis, a sophomore, continues to perform well for the Huskies’ team. He was a strong performer and came in second at the Buckeye 8 and finished overall in fourth place

with a 565 score. In OVAC competition, he tied for seventh with a 602 series. In sectional action, he was sixth with a 623 series, and in game three, he put it all together with a 246 game. Hennis’ bowling helped lead Harrison Central to the district games. There, Hennis finished with a 520 series and was thirteenth, just 74 pins off the second and final individual qualifying position.

“Kobe is one of the strongest bowlers and is usually in the front position,” said Harrison Central Bowling Head Coach Bobbi Parkinson. “He put up some really nice scores this season.”

Chad Viers, a junior, helped the Huskies to a sectional championship with a 523 series at the postseason opener. Early on, and at the

Buckeye 8 competition, he was third with a 585 series. That score earned him an AllConference status.

“Chad has also had some really nice scores,” Parkinson heralded. “He got himself a new ball and bowled well and consistently.”

Tylynn Smith, a sophomore, also played basketball for the Huskies. This gave her a gradual start, but she was able to finish strong.

She pushed herself and ultimately passed not only some of her teammates but others in the field of competition. This earned her a qualifying position. She rolled a 472 series at sectionals that propelled her.

“I am both satisfied and happy that Smith came out for the team,” said Parkinson. “Her first couple of scores weren’t really high, but she

became a consistent bowler once she learned what she was doing. She excelled and had a wonderful sectional tournament.”

Lauren Best, a senior, holds the team’s best average at 148. The average was 20 pins higher than her junior campaign. She finished fifth at the Buckeye 8 while holding a 445 series.

For that effort, she earned an All-Conference status. At East Liverpool, her game helped the Huskies to become overall runners-up.

“Lauren bowled very well late into the season. She was converting her spares and worked very hard, seeing how it was her last year as a high school bowler, Lauren improved nicely.”

BL granted more security funds

Sudvary returning to BL as superintendent RAYLAND—Former Buckeye Local High School Principal Coy Sudvary is returning to his educational roots as the new superintendent of Buckeye Local Schools.

“I’m very excited, and it’s a great opportunity,” he said. “I appreciate the support from the board. It’s great that I have knowledge of the community, of students, and the staff. I’ve been a principal for 15 years

DILLONVALE— Julie Packer, district director of special education, preschool, and student services, said another $300,000 in security funding was approved in Ohio K-12 School Safety Grants through the Ohio Facilities Construction, bringing the district’s overall allocation to a half-million dollars. The grants are part of a $100 million competitive program and will be expended in 57 counties for security cameras, public address systems, visitor badging systems, automatic door locks, and exterior lighting.

Buckeye North Elementary in Brilliant, Buckeye West Elementary in Adena, Buckeye South Elementary in Tiltonsville, and Buckeye Local Jr./Sr. High School in Connorville have all received allocations.

The district initially sought $500,000 but received $200,000 late last year to update North and West Elementary with cameras, communication equipment, and window coverings. Notably, some work had previously taken place, and the grants are retroactive to January 1, 2022.

High Tech Security of Colerain was contracted to install the cameras on the interior and exterior of the North and West buildings. Exterior doors have been rekeyed, and leaders are looking at replacing doors and adding to-go buckets for emergencies as well as continued training and possible vape sensors at the junior high.

Superintendent Scott Celestin was grateful for the allocation and said it would bring another layer of safety to the buildings.

and was ready to do something different. I was ready to come back, and the board was receptive and supportive. The ESC has also been very supportive, and I hope to continue working with Dr. Kokiko. I’m looking forward to the challenge, and I want to build and create a place people can be proud of.

What better place than where I grew up?”

Sudvary begins his duties on August 1.

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy There is not much of the month of March left, and I can't remember if it came in as a lion or lamb, but I will sure be glad to see the much warmer days of April. How about you?

Now for some news from our area. The past month there was a celebration of Jefferson County 4-H Clubs in an area that is home to about 20 businesses. They permitted clubs to decorate their store windows, inside or outside, and the theme was "Health Rocks! 4-H Inspires Healthy Living." In February, an overnighter took place at the Millsop Center in Weirton. The Cloverbuds, ages 5-8, participated in a camp where they learned about honeybees, problem-solving decisions, and selfesteem. Mike and Leslie Aftanas are two of the advisers participating in the shooting sports training.

Extreme Camp Counselor training was held in Columbus recently, with 10 youths from Jefferson County attending.

Look out! The Iron Chef competition is scheduled for March 25 at the Joint Vocational School, and the main ingredient is honey. There should be some sweet items to be tasted.

Lions Clubs International put out an information card on diabetes and its warning signs. I really didn't know there were so many. Here are a few: excessive thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, weight loss, tiredness, blurred vision, slow healing wounds, vomiting, stomach pain that is often mistaken for the flu, and tingling sensations or numbness in the hands or feet. Wow! That takes in a bunch. But it does pay to check these signs.

Buckeye Local had its annual spelling bee with 10 spellers who advanced to the giant bee held at the Buckeye Local auditorium. Representing Buckeye West Elementary were Cameron Knight, Daizy Thompson, and Jocelynn Matthews from West Elementary. (And I like the spelling of your first name, Daizy.) Chyanne Crothers and Emma Vitek were the Buckeye North Elementary representatives.

I want to thank the News-Herald again for the snappy, long-sleeved t-shirts that were given to us. Now you will know who we are when we go roaming about our appointed part of Harrison and Jefferson counties.

It's been a long time away, but I am back and enjoying it so much.

It is so great to see young people trying to follow in the path of their parents and sometimes falling asleep in their dad's arms on the tractor seat, coming home in the evening from a hard day of farm work.

It was pleasing to see that Steve Griffith is interested in raising the best farm animals, and some of those get sold at the Harrison County Fair auction (with his sister and brother.) Delaney and Hayden Johson have a new litter of piglets to go to the Jefferson County and other fairs this year.

John Birney started chatting up a member of the Ohio Beef Council concerning the Ohio Beef group, and the information was used to improve farming experiences. The program uses information about Ohio's beef and is a non-profit organization.

March is Women's History Month, and we will discuss it on March 25 at 1 p.m. at the DillonvaleMount Pleasant Library. Call 740 769-2090.

I enjoyed the column by the Terra Bella Farm owner in Jewett last week. She was talking about wanting to plant right before the rain but doesn't plant if there is going to be a downpour. She might try calling my husband about the weather. He can usually diagnose the weather a day ahead with no trouble.

I like seeing the daffodils with their bright color in the flower beds.

Bye for now, and remember to give smiles where you see frowns.

HC Cancer Crusaders serve local patients

BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer CADIZ—The Harrison County Cancer Crusaders is a nonprofit organization serving the cancer patients of Harrison County. Each year the HCCC has a summer fundraising event. This year’s event will be on August 5, 2023, at Wallace Lodge. The agenda includes a dinner for survivors (with caregivers), a car show, and a race. Other entertainment includes a DJ and a silent auction. A blood drive is also a big part of this event, held in memory of Jerry Graham.

The group is led by an executive committee but HCCC extends far beyond that. The volunteers and supporters of this event and group are too numerous to name. Businesses, individuals, HC students, and even recipients come together to benefit others who have a cancer diagnosis.

The crusaders have an educational component as well, making others aware of

cancer awareness months and providing them with educational material. March is Colon/ Anal, Kidney, and Myeloma cancer awareness month. By promoting screenings and making educational material available, the hope is to prevent cancer or even to receive cancer treatment earlier.

Trying to meet the needs of the patient, the Cancer Dietary Initiative is also affiliated with this group. This group helps to supply the nutritional needs of patients, therefore, helping to alleviate the growing cost of foods needed for a recovering patient.

For anyone interested in joining the group to help others in our community, the HCCC will meet at the 22 Winery on March 30 to answer any questions. If you know any person in Harrison County with a cancer diagnosis that could benefit from assistance, please contact a member of the HCCC. HCCC officers include Executive Director Julie McPeak, VP Joy Barcroft, Treasurer Carrie Shaver, and Secretary Bev Beatty.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, My name is Harold Keith Eddy.

I live in Rumley Township. This is on the subject of the new gym at Jewett school. I graduated in 1964 from there. In the wintertime, we, the children of Jewett and around the area, would play in the gym until 4 p.m. and Luke, the janitor, would come and tell us it was time to go home. The children would be better off exercising than sitting in front of a TV or playing on a computer.

If they think it is too expensive, they could pass a levy in Rumley Township to offset the cost.

I think our children are surely worth more than that.

—Harold Keith Eddy of Jewett

Virginia Patton turned 100 years young on March 24, 2023. It would be wonderful to have a card shower for her. Please send cards to 41500 Cadiz-Dennison Rd. Cadiz, OH 43907. Thanks in advance!
