Court utilizes Ohio programs for offenders

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

Judge T. Shawn Hervey heard several cases Tuesday afternoon. And some of the cases heard revolved around a risk assessment program. There were also reviews for defendants on treatment programs.

When an individual finds themself in the justice system, whether in jail or looking at possible jail time, they might volunteer or be ordered to submit to a risk assessment. The Ohio Risk Assessment System, or ORAS, determines a person’s likelihood of committing another crime, identifies risk factors to ascertain the best treatment plan, and predicts any problems hindering a treatment program.

They are classified as low to high risk based on the score received. With this assessment in mind, the prosecution, defense, and judge can better understand the situation to find an appropriate sentence.

In the pretrial of Ohio vs. Furmanski,

Hervey ordered an ORAS to be completed; the prosecution did not feel an offer could be made at the time. The assessment will aid the state and defense in finding a resolution.

In Ohio vs. Pesta, the defendant agreed to submit to an ORAS in hopes of resolving his case in the least painful way possible. Hervey clarified the assessment will be used for informational purposes only and will not be used against him if he goes to trial later.

For G. Gardner, a defendant hoping to enter the “Intervention in Lieu of Conviction” program, submitting to ORAS is necessary for the court to move forward with the case and determine his eligibility. Gardner had past troubles with drug testing but said, “I will do anything I have to do.” Hervey made it clear he will not tolerate drug abuse from anyone participating in the ILC program. The program is for low-risk, nonviolent offenders to have charges dismissed after completing treatment. Gardner will complete the ORAS and will be scheduled to appear again later.

There were also two reviews for offenders who had already participated in the ILC program. The first was Rachel Price, who began the program on a rocky start. However, ILC Coordinator Andrew Foreman attested to Price having turned it around and is now doing quite well. Hervey asked her what had changed and how things were going. She said she now “takes care of things she should’ve been taking care of.” Priced added, “Everything is starting to fall into place.” The court praised Price for her efforts, and the room applauded her successful completion of the program.

In the second ILC review, Michael Beach is also on his way to finishing the program himself. Foreman again testified to progress, saying, “Mr. Beach has done extremely well.” Not yet finished, Beach was offered help finding more community service opportunities. Hervey told him he was proud: “You changed your life.”

Johnny D’s take on valley-style pizza

COVID-19: relaxation “appropriate,” but vigilance still necessary

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer In the two-week period between March 9 and March 23, Harrison County had fewer than 10 new COVID-19 cases, and only one hospitalization. The county remains at the lowest level of community burden, as per the CDC’s recently-updated framework for assessing COVID’s impact on communities.

This trend is not exclusive to Harrison County; across the state, all but eight counties are presently designated “low level.” Those eight counties, clustered in the state’s southern portion, are evaluated as “medium.” And no Ohio counties are currently counted as “high.”

County health administrator Garen Rhome reminded the News-Herald that these community levels are updated weekly. If trends begin to change, especially if burdens on health care systems increase again, the levels could alter.

However, Rhome said, “the community is certainly at the point where, overall, there’s a sense of relaxation with the mitigation efforts, and that’s appropriate.” However, he added that this does not mean residents should cease to be “cautious and vigilant” — especially those likely to have contact with anyone with preexisting conditions. Individuals who are experiencing symptoms, especially, should proceed cautiously. “Just because our local health department says there’s no new cases today doesn’t mean what you’re experiencing today isn’t Covid,” Rhome stated.

The county health department continues to recommend that people due for a booster seek one out. Also, Rhome said, “If boosters

are recommended for other age groups or if a second booster is recommended for adolescents and adults, the health department stands ready.”

Rhome also took a little time to explain the county health department’s role in the pandemic and protecting the community.

“Regarding public health and health care systems, we at public health are about prevention and promotion. These are the two pillars we stand on,” he said. Early in the pandemic, Rhome said, the department convened a sort of “Covid summit” with local officials, law enforcement officers, care administrators, and other community leaders to discuss what might happen and to create response plans. And their primary focus from the start was on hospitalizations and preventative measures to keep health care systems from being overwhelmed.

As Rhome explained, it’s one thing if you have a lot of moderately sick people recovering in their homes. But when the disease gets severe enough for people to seek hospitalization, “then we’re talking about a hospital shortage, equipment shortage, manpower shortage.”

And the burden of COVID on a community becomes a real emergency, especially when health care workers begin to get sick themselves.

Rhome acknowledged that people may not always be aware of the effect their actions could have on public health, especially given rates of asymptomatic spread. “It’s always a hard picture to paint for people, to help them see the consequences.”

BY BONNIE RUTLEDGE Publisher “Floppy, melted-cheese pizza is what everyone thinks of when they hear the word ‘pizza’” — but Johnny D is changing that.

Johnny DiCarlantonio, the young owner of Johnny D’s pizza in Cadiz, has put hours of research and development into the tried-andtrue valley-style slice of pizza. Hailing from the Steubenville area, Johnny D specifically chose Cadiz as his new frontier to introduce the pizza that’s crazed the tri-state area since the ‘40s.

Johnny D first bakes the crust to softon-top-crunchy-on-the-bottom perfection and slathers it in red sauce. Then, he adds a generous portion of shredded white cheese and cold pepperoni — completely unmelted. That leaves the customer with the raw, true taste of the cheese and the bold flavor of pepperoni (without fat dripping from it). The pizza is, in fact, cooked all the way through, even though the unmelted cheese makes it appear otherwise.

It is rumored that valley-style pizza was first brought to the area in the 1940s with the newly immigrated Italian influence of Johnny’s descendants and others. The pizza was in high demand, and the old ovens ran too hot to put the cheese on beforehand. Out of necessity, the “cold cheese and pep” tradition began, and out of demand, the tradition continues today.

“This is from the past, and there’s a reason it’s been carried on. People are still asking for those same iconic square slices they’ve been eating for close to a century,” quipped Johnny D. If it sounds like DiCarlo’s pizza in Steubenville, that’s because it’s the same valleystyle square pie, though Johnny D uses his own unique recipe. DiCarlantonio is a different last name from DiCarlo, but Johnny D noted they are distant cousins. He explained that just as there are multiple pizza shops in any area, all with unique recipes and styles, so his pizza is a

variation of valley-style pizza.

In fact, Johnny D learned from the best, working in multiple pizza shops owned by friends and family members in the Steubenville area. His apprenticing under such pizza veterans helped him grasp the many aspects of the business, from food prep to personnel management. He credits his father as being a significant driving force behind his success, too, because of his father’s entrepreneurial spirit and success as a grocery store owner.

Johnny D noted how important it was, “as a kid, following the old man around, pushing a mop myself before opening, and seeing the effort it took to make the business happen.

That’s where it started for me… A lot of times, I didn’t know how he did it, but he always did.”

Johnny D’s Pizza opened during the pandemic in September 2020. For the first two weeks, the shop was sold out. 2020 proved to be a hard time for society but a profitable time for take-out eateries. The newly constructed plaza that houses Trinity’s Express Care and the new post office was also built to suit Johnny D’s Pizza. Customers can find a sit-down area of tables to eat their pizza as soon as it is ready or enjoy a salad or sandwich for lunch. Dessert — big, fudgy brownies or various cheesecakes — is always optional and highly recommended.

Johnny D chose the Cadiz area because valley-style pizza would be a new addition in town and because there would be no fear of competing with the former pizza shops at which he trained. He made sure to express his gratitude for the support his customers and the community have shown over the past two years and to credit his staff and family for being a reliable, cohesive team he can count on.

“I was never worried about failing. I knew that if I made a good product, managed payroll and sales closely, etc., it would all be good. That’s why I get up every day and do the same thing — so we can be consistent, and customers can depend on us.”

Scio water line project now fully funded

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

The village of Scio’s project to replace the lines in their water distribution system has been fully funded, village administrator Jason Tubaugh shared with the council on Wednesday, March 23. The funding comes from the office of Senator Sherrod Brown and several agencies and programs. This means the village can move forward with its plan once the funds are released. Tubaugh is hopeful that they will be able to begin soliciting bids in April and award a contract in May. Tubagugh also told the council that he had contacted the county EMA and talked with director Eric Wilson about potentially securing

funds from the Army Corps of Engineers to work on cleaning up Conotton Creek.

However, this project could end up being extensive if it is to be comprehensive enough to make a difference. Likely they would need to follow the creek from Jewett through Scio and Bowerston, all the way to Tappan Lake.

Another project the village had hoped to tackle was demolishing nuisance properties and dealing with brownfield cleanups.

Council members had attempted to secure the signatures of problem-property owners to move forward before the deadline to get funding for the demolition and cleanup. Unfortunately for the village, the property owners who had initially agreed to the project failed to provide their signatures.

“There’s all this money sitting there for the state,” Tubaugh said. “And as long as the owner gives permission and signs, they get the dilapidated structures torn down and still keep the property.”

Given the property owners’ failure to communicate or cooperate — one even denied that they owned their property — council members discussed how to proceed with the issue of nuisance properties and brownfields.

Options included the village itself purchasing the properties, fining the owners of nuisance properties, or even suing them. Village solicitor Jack Felgenhauer noted that the latter option would be pricey.

The council also took some time to discuss their insurance plan. Andy Leitch, a

representative from PEP insurance, was present for the first part of the meeting to talk about his plan, comparing it with the one the village has now. After Leitch left, the council talked about the respective merits of his plan versus their current one. Since the PEP plan has a higher premium, and the village has had no problems with their existing plan, they passed a motion to stay with the insurance plan they’ve been using.

A significant amount of time was dedicated to how to deal with ongoing vandalism in the bathrooms at the park. At present, the bathrooms are locked, but this means the council needs to come up with a solution for how to make the facilities available when they rent the park for events and how to make sure things get cleaned up afterward. The council concluded that they would look for bids from contractors who could take care of cleaning and other park maintenance.

Finally, on the matter of the ongoing annexation project, Tubaugh reported that there was “no change” to the project following the hearing on Tuesday. But he did ask the council to go into an executive session to discuss the situation.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR With so much political division in Washington, it’s important to spotlight the moments of bipartisanship that we see break through. That’s why it’s relieving to see Senator Rob Portman involved in work with other senators from both sides of the aisle to reform the Electoral Count Act (ECA).

The confusion and chaos that followed the 2020 election is largely due to the ECA is not being completely clear on the role of Congress in presidential elections. The law needs to be clarified to prevent anything from occurring in 2024 like what happened in 2020 and ensure the security and integrity of future elections. Thankfully, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle recognize this, and the reforms they’re working on would accomplish just that.

Lawmakers should also take other steps to protect the integrity of elections in the future beyond reforming the ECA. By putting measures in place to protect election workers and providing the Election Assistance Commission with the funding it needs, we can avoid the problems we saw after the 2020 election.

I am thankful for Senator Portman’s leadership in these bipartisan talks and hope that other members of Congress will join him to pass these important reforms. Protecting the integrity of our elections is absolutely critical and should be a point where lawmakers from both parties can come together to do what is right for the sake of our nation.

—John Morrow of Wellsville, Ohio

Hello, everyone I sure like these beautiful spring days. The grass is getting green again.

I did laundry this morning. And I’ll probably do some painting today.

I think they had a good turnout for the hospital fund auction. We were there for a couple of hours, then Andrew and I went over to his parents’ for the night to take care of his dad. We came home then Saturday evening. We went over there again Sunday afternoon. Most of the other brothers and sisters were there, except a few. For dinner, we had grilled hamburgers and Italian sausages and some desserts.

On Saturday, my sister and family moved into their new home. So I hope they like living in this neighborhood.

Harrison Central holds business social

On full display at last week’s social, Superintendent DANA SNIDER is proud of the Harrison Central staff, students, and community. Harrison News-Herald Photo/ROBERT AMABILE

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ — Harrison Central’s business advisory council meets three to four times a year. And on March 17, they held its most recent event: a community social to show off the Harrison Central school facility and amenities. The council brought in business owners, politicians, parents, and other community members curious to see what the school is up to. This year’s social was dedicated to presenting all the facts.

Event visitors had the opportunity to see demonstrations on some of the interesting, ongoing projects that students and staff participate in. The projects presented just a fraction of the school’s offerings but encapsulated its philosophy: allowing every student to practice a subject that truly interests them.

There were four main presentations showcasing different subjects. The first demonstrated the school’s new Anatomage table, a technologically advanced piece of equipment usually only found in universities.

The table’s software contains digital cadavers.

As a result, students can practice dissecting living things virtually to learn anatomy and physiology.

The second presentation took visitors to see the tech room and the school’s video editing software and graphics capabilities. Harrison Central broadcasts every day — and does all the football games too. The students are behind all the regular editing and broadcasting.

The industrial lab was also on display, presenting computerized woodworking and students’ show projects. For visual arts, both teachers and students explained art pieces and the processes behind them. Four times last week, art students presented Harrison Central’s most recent play, “Beauty and the Beast.” Superintendent Dana Snider said, “There’s a lot of people here interested in the music and the arts, and you’re trying to reach that kid, so they have a productive life too.”

And Snider’s remark accurately reflects all the district’s unique opportunities for students.

But more so, the opportunities wouldn’t be available without a dedicated and motivated staff. In fact, Harrison Central is the largest employer in the county: 197 employees and five contractors. There is a 103-teacher body that educates 1,308 students. With a lower student-to-teacher ratio, the staff can provide better education to students.

The curriculum offers different learning pathways. Students and staff work together to form a four-year plan, selecting an area of focus to best choose core courses and electives.

The paths are broken down into four working categories: ideas, data, things, and people. The selection erases the one-size-fits-all approach and better prepares individual students for their desired careers. The college credit plus program, completely paid for by the district, allows eighth-graders and up to attend college courses with zero cost. As a result, some students graduate with an almost-completed bachelor’s degree.

Unlike many school districts, Harrison Hills provides all education in-house. Using only one facility, the staff stays connected when serving special needs students. Harrison Central employs two speech-language pathologists, 20 intervention specialists, and two nurses.

Students also receive other benefits for attending. An extended school day, available Monday through Friday, 3:45 to 5 p.m., offers help for students struggling with reading or math. Between 50-60 students are broken up into groups and work together to catch up and get ahead in their coursework.

Students receive free breakfast and lunch, fees are waived, and students get into sporting events for free. As a bonus for 65-and-older residents, they also get into events free.

Funding for all the programs flows steadily.

Almost $11 million comes from the state, $20 million local, and $679,000 from other sources. The gas and oil industry coming in has given the district a big boost, and much of that money is going toward giving students a

better education. That isn’t with overspending either. “We pride ourselves on being fiscally responsible,” Snider commented. Overall, the community is saving money. Since 2015, yearly taxes have dropped 70 cents.

Additionally, a portion of cash goes to something all parents, teachers, and staff find incredibly important: security. The school has two resource officers and some advanced security measures. Raptor ID check provides safety when visitors come. RFID ensures that only authorized persons can scan into the building. There are also 200 security cameras, a fire suppression system, and a high-tech lockdown system. One newer measure, too, is the vape and noise detectors. The staff gets alerts sent right to their phones when there is any safety issue. These systems have already been tested, and with no major problems to announce, they seem to be working great.

Harrison Central is known around the state for its facilities. A new softball field and press box are currently being built; the press box will be available to rent for events too.

But the beautiful gyms and fields won’t be used exclusively for Harrison Central games; they attract other schools who want to use the facilities. Ninety-one games and events that the school would not have hosted otherwise have brought thousands of people into Cadiz. “I am proud of our students and our staff. And I’m very thankful for the community that has supported the school,” Snider concluded.

Harrison Hills BoE recognized at OSBA conference

ST. CLAIRSVILLE — More than 100 school board members, administrators, staff, students, and guests from southeast Ohio recently gathered at the Belmont Career Center for the Ohio School Boards Association Southeast Region Spring Conference. The conference featured updates from OSBA officers and staff and several awards and recognitions. The region recognized exemplary student programs, outstanding school board members, and veteran school board members.

Mike Fador, left, of St. Clairsville Richland City Schools board member and Deborah Kenny, a Harrison Hills City Schools board member, both received the OSBA STAR Award. They were honored for their years of service, training, aptitude, and recognition (STAR). Fador and Kenny also serve on the board of education for the Belmont-Harrison Vocational School District.

Cadiz council meeting gets animated

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ — The Cadiz village council meeting on March 17 became a bit more fiery than normal: A couple of dozen citizens showed up to voice their opposition to the newly proposed Meagan’s Point housing project.

Community members questioned the project because recent rumors circulated of it being a drug rehab facility. Some Cadiz residents received certified letters about zoning changes while others did not, part of the rationale for the group’s attendance.

Mayor John Migliore made it clear the council’s responsibility for that particular meeting was to merely change the zoning from single-family to multi-family.

The council didn’t want to leave the people without answers, however, so Debra Yeater, Executive Director of the Harrison Metropolitan Housing Authority, provided a brief overview of the project and handed out some information. The packet provided some basic information on the proposed development, and Yeater took questions and illuminated the purpose of the housing project.

The proposal is for a 38-unit housing

development at the estimated cost of $9,352,241. That includes four three-bedroom units, 18 two-bedroom units, and 16 onebedroom units. The project, named “Meagan’s Point,” is still in the earliest part of the process.

The development will primarily house lowincome adults and families. The information provided states, “Twenty-five percent (10) units will be dedicated to the target population of transitional age youth 18-24 years of age, and adults and families facing separation and homelessness due to behavioral health challenges and lack of stable housing.”

Since Cadiz already has several low-income properties, the crowd questioned why the town needed another? The answer was that the area is not a high-income zone. The plan is to help the residents, through supportive services, find better jobs and get them on their feet. The question then arose as to how those residents would get around. There were no clear answers as they were said to be within walking distance, but it was later implied there would be transportation services.

Many questions were left unanswered, so the council arranged a meeting and time for everyone concerned to come to speak. As a result, there will be a public hearing on April 7 at 6 p.m. in the Cadiz EMS building.

Mayor JOHN MIGLIORE calms the crowd by scheduling a new meeting where everyone will have the opportunity to speak. Harrison News-Herald Photo/ROBERT AMABILE

Cadiz Village Council Administrator’s Report

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ — During Cadiz’s second March meeting, Mayor Migliore gave the administrator’s report for March 17. The mayor will attend the Ohio City Managers Association in Columbus and present details at the next council meeting.

The ODNR has approved the update schedule request to complete the Sally Buffalo Dam project.

Additionally, there was a preconstruction

meeting, and the mayor will be working with the sewer and street departments to oversee the south and center trunkline projects.

A meeting with Scott Musgrave was held at the water treatment plant to discuss project completion and a potential completion date.

There was a camper meeting held at Sally Buffalo lodge on March 14. Campers paid upfront for the year, and their concerns and ideas were discussed.

Finally, construction on the Sally Buffalo Stage is expected toward mid-April. More updates will come once the project has begun.

Some good news coming out of the police department is a celebration of Police Chief Ryan McCann’s 44th birthday. Serving as chief since 2013, Chief McCann is a dedicated member of the law enforcement community. He wasn’t up for a party but enjoyed a day working with his supportive colleagues. “I couldn’t ask for a better group of officers. I’m lucky, and the village is lucky to have them,” he said. Pictured is McCann celebrating his 44 birthday at the Cadiz Police Department. Harrison News-Herald Photo/ROBERT AMABILE

From all of us at the Harrison County Military Support Group, we say a heartfelt thank you.

We ended up packing for nine soldiers along with extra boxes of cookies for sharing. If I have overlooked someone, please bear with me. Sometimes it’s a rushed scene, and names are not always signed in: Pat and Leonard Landis, Robin Miles, Sarah Snyder, Kathy Kinble, Cadiz Food Pantry, Linda Blake, Ada Clark, Mother Cabrini Church, Rebecca Durbin, Dolly Sabo, Nancy Pulka, Stacey Greer, Barbie Elliott, Capital Health, Robin Romshak, Jim and Leona Chaney, Roy Hildredth, Karen York, Doris Crawford, Tuesday German, Ms. Anna Tipton’s kindergarten class at Harrison Central, Harrison News-Herald, and Cadiz Volunteer Fire Department. Our Facebook page was hacked, so there is no update going on there. We hope to have it taken care of soon. Thank you ALL! Your support, caring, and generosity are what get us through these projects. Without our community support, we would not be able to support our military members.

Thank you again, and happy Easter to all of you. Stay safe and healthy, always smile, and remember everyone can use a kind word.Hope to see you all in June for our next packing.

CORRESPONDENCE DEERSVILLE

By Susan Adams Saturday, March 19, from 4–6 p.m., will be the Deersville Fire Department’s first annual chili cook-off. Come and vote for your favorite chili. You can get two votes for a dollar; purchase all the tickets you want. There’s a $5 entry fee per participant. Hot dogs, cream chicken sandwiches, and drinks will also be available for purchase. Prizes will be awarded!

Call 330-260-3272 with any questions. Come out and cheer on and vote for your favorite chili. You can even vote for your own entry!

The Deersville General Store started its new spring hours on March 13. They are currently open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. My friend Mary Ann Manbeck and I ate lunch there after church on the 13th. It was very good. We couldn’t leave without getting ice cream.

Thank you, Mary Ann, for the treat! The coffee toffee was outstanding.

Congratulations to Tyler and Marisa Coventry on the birth of daughter Vivian Rose Coventry, born Monday, March 14.

She was welcomed home by big sister Isabel Sue. Grandfather is Craig Coventry. Great grandmother is Marsha Morrow Coventry.

Koda Devore #526 went to George and entered his first pro national cross-country race, hit autopilot during the halftime show, and landed safely on the big stage with a thirdplace win — baby steps to the top with only two more to make. Congratulations, Koda — and to everyone who made this possible. Koda is the son of Travis and Nicki Devore of rural Uhrichsville and the grandson of Shelley (late Chuck) McMillen Devore of rural Deersville.

Congratulations to Noah Stricker for being selected as a “Related Arts Rock Star.” Also, he did an outstanding job on March 15 as a peasant in the play “Aladdin” for the Indian Valley eighth-grade performance. He also was outstanding in Aladdin at the Indian Valley Middle School for the seventh grade as the character Jafar on the March 16 performance.

Noah is the son of Tom and Amy Strickler of rural Deersville.

On Monday, March 14, the Woody Paul Blanket Mission met at the Deersville United Methodist Church, and 11 ladies made 25 blankets for those in need of comfort. These were prayed over and added to the ones in the sanctuary. The ladies enjoyed a covered dish lunch. The next mission will be on April 11.

This is a bit late, but decorations needed to be removed from the graves at the Patterson Cemetery by March 15. This probably applies to most cemeteries. Check with the cemetery sexton to see what can be put on the graves. It won’t be long until mowing starts again. Did you know that “cemetery” refers to large burial grounds that are not affiliated with a church? A graveyard, on the other hand, refers to a burial ground that is located on a church’s property.

Thank you to all who participated and supported the open mic night at the Deersville Community Theatre on March 17.

The Deersville Community Players are holding open auditions at the theater (weather permitting) for Roger & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” on March 22 and 24 from 6:30 to 7:30. All are welcome! Those auditioning for a principal role should be prepared to sing a song of their choice. If you’re interested in an ensemble or chorus role, just come in and sign up. The show dates are June 16-19. Practices are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday evenings.

The Deersville Community Theatre is excited to be featured on the Cause Connector platform through Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. We can help to achieve their goal with a monetary donation or even by sharing the post on their Facebook page. Help support the “New Stage Curtain” project with the Cause Connector from the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. This Cause Connector project would support the addition of a muchneeded “traveler” style stage curtain. A curtain of this type would provide the ability to change scenes easily by simply pulling a curtain to hide what is onstage. It would make set changes between scenes happen smoothly and with a minimal number of stagehands. These curtains are basic requirements that most theaters use during every production. Unfortunately, the Theatre has never had one, making this a longstanding dream.

Bosler’s Honey, Bees, and Accessories will begin regular hours on March 31, 2022. The first “Share, Learn, and Grow” is scheduled for the second Saturday of April (April 9). Any questions? Call 330-401-5889.

The Brownsville Christian Church services start at 10:30 a.m. with Pastor Tim Thomas.

For the Deersville United Methodist Church, Sunday school begins at 9:45 a.m., and church services start at 11 with Pastor Mike Cunningham Jr. Feed Spring Church Sunday school is at 9:30 a.m., worship at 10:30 a.m., and the Wednesday prayer meeting is at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to these three churches that grace the Moravian Trail.

April 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be the 14th annual women’s retreat at the Deersville United Methodist Church. “Jesus Name Above Every Name” is the theme. There will be special music, fellowship, lunch, door prizes.

On April 29, 30, and May 1, the Muskingum Chapter of the Buckeye Trail Association will be hosting its fifth Morelfest at the BTA Beall Farmstead on Beall Road just outside Deersville. Mark your calendar! There will be hiking, camping, music, guided morel hunts, fun, fellowship, and more.

Local quilter, Deanna Bond, is a semifinalist in the 2022 American Quilter’s Society Quilt Week, where she will be exhibiting her quilt “The Birds, Bees, and The Trains.”

President Lori Milleson had the grace, and members ate with hostesses Ann Milleson, Kyra Milligan, and Deb Milligan when the Lakeland Democrat Woman’s Club met on March 14 in the Steele Crest Community Room. The members repeated the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Eleven members answered roll call with what they liked about spring, and reports were given. The club voted to donate $100 in memory of Ruby Gilliam, a dedicated woman of the Ohio Democrat Women of Minerva, Ohio, and a $50 donation to the Freeport United Methodist Church for using the building for a Christmas dinner.

Cards were signed for charter member Martha Parker, who underwent surgery, and member Chris Gilpin who fell. The door prize was donated by Marge Monroe and won by Kelly Martin.

HOLLOWAY

By Susan Adams Holloway is in need of a street superintendent with the following qualifications: must have a valid driver’s license; must be dependable; mechanical, operate a backhoe, snowplow at any hour day or night, mow and weedeat, clean ditches, and patch streets; able to work with little supervision and follow orders; have the ability to see what needs to be done and get it done; and attend all council meetings to give a monthly report. It’s a part-time position with approximately 30 hours a week (also paid for attending council meetings.) Wages will be determined by experience. Please drop off or send resume to village of Holloway, Street Superintendent (P.O. Box 152 Holloway OH 43985-0152).

The Holloway VFD Activities Committee needs volunteers. Either for all day or a couple of hours for fundraising events. They also need baked goods when they have their events.

Contact Linda Nester, Judy Nester, or Anita Holloway Schaeffer to let them know if you can help.

Notice from the Holloway Volunteer Fire Department: The main firetruck 26-3 is out of service for four to six weeks. Remember to always call 911 for all emergencies. The 911 center is aware of the situation, and fire calls will be directed to neighboring departments.

Why? The water tank has been leaking for a while, and the department is now able to have the tank replaced with a new poly tank. This repair is costly, and half of the money is coming from you, the taxpayer, through the fire levy.

THANK YOU! The VFD will pay the other half through monies they have and monies raised through past and future fundraising activities. They thank you for your support.

On Friday, April 1 (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.), the Holloway VFD Activities Committee will be hosting a fish fry. They have lots of other food available. One can eat in or take out. They will have baked goods available too. There will also be a pick-up window. Call ahead at 740-9680504 for quick service. These folks really work hard. Please come out and support them.

The 74th annual Holloway Old Timers Festival will be Sept. 2–4, 2022. Save the dates.

Due to COVID-19, if you need to speak with someone at the city building (mayor’s office or water department), please call 740968-4024 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. Masks and social distancing will be recognized. Donations are always welcomed (P.O. Box 173, Holloway, Ohio 43985). The church also has two rooms available to rent for wedding showers, baby showers, or meetings.

The Holloway United Methodist Church is having a fundraiser by raffling a spring basket.

The basket includes a gas card, calendar, candy, and other items. Tickets are one for $1 or six for $5. Make your check out to Holloway UM Church and mail it to P.O. Box 173, Holloway OH 43985, and put raffle in the memo. Be sure to list your phone number. Better yet, go to church on Sunday and buy some in person.

If you have any questions, contact Ruth Robertson at 740-968-4264.

The Holloway Old Timers is looking for people to join their organization. If YOU are interested and are willing to put in some time in various ways, from helping plan and volunteering at the annual Old Timers Festival to just being a volunteer to help on a weekly or monthly basis, they need YOU. Keeping the grass cut and upkeep on the buildings is something they need help with year-round, so they need local residents that can help. Please contact them via message on their Holloway Old Timers Facebook page, and someone will get back to you asap.

HOPEDALE

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

If you are looking for some good food, start right here in Hopedale. The Hopedale Legion has Burger Night every Monday and Wing Wednesday; both start at 5 (dine-in or carry out). The Hopedale Legion Riders have a steak fry from 5 to 8 on the second Saturday of each month. Dinner includes steak, potato, salad, and bread (dine-in or carry out). Questions about any of those Legion events can be directed to 740-937-9995. Don’t forget the fish fry every Friday through Lent. They have fish dinners, sandwiches, chunks only, and shrimp.

They are serving between 11 and 7 — or until all gone. Speaking of fish, don’t forget that now through April 8, between 3 and 7:30, you can stop by the lower parking lot of the Harrison Central football field. The Harrison Central Music Boosters are offering Coleman’s fish,

shrimp, sides, desserts, and drinks. Check out their Facebook page for more details. You can order on-site with carhop service available or call or text ahead at 740-491-6241. Please note, cash only.

Do you know of any good fish fries? Please email me at hopedalenews@yahoo.com, so I can share them with everybody else. I know I should not write on an empty stomach, but I have one more “tasty” item to share. Stop out at Ice Cream Island and order a “Barnyard Blast” shake. The Harrison County Humane Society will receive $2 from each shake sold!

One more fun thing to put on your calendar, the Harrison Central Music Boosters will be hosting an Easter egg hunt on April 9 from 9–11 a.m. The Cadiz Lions Club will be holding a breakfast from 8–10 a.m., and a craft fair will also be held from 8 to 2. This is all happening at the Harrison Central campus on Huskies Way. Whew! That is an awful lot of fun in one place! If anybody has anniversaries, birthdays, or other family news they would like to share, please email me at hopedalenews@ yahoo.com. Have a great week, everybody!

Happy anniversary to Gary and Shirley Fisher — 60 Years on March 24.

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy It is a little more than a month away, but time flies by so fast that Earth Day will be here on April 22 faster than we realize. According to the 2017 Census of Agriculture, the United States has more than 900 million acres of land in farms, 40% of all U.S. land. And we rely on the 3.4 million producers, around 1% of the population, to manage that land and provide food, feed, fiber, and fuel for our nation and the world.

Data from the Food and Farm Facts shows an increase in the use of renewable energy systems. Solar panels are the most used renewable energy system to date, with 90,142 in place to harness the power of the sun.

Wind turbines, small hydro systems, methane digesters, biodiesels, and ethanol production systems are also used to help maintain land for future generations.

It is only three months until the Harrison County Junior Fair will haul in the livestock and poultry they have raised throughout the winter and early spring days. They are searching for sponsorship trophies for livestock and poultry. The species are rabbits, poultry, goats, sheep, swine, dairy, horse, beef, steer, and royalty. April 23 is lamb, goat, and hog tag day for 4-H projects.

The Chuck Fluharty family put some interesting photos of their vacation on the computer. He told how the water level is quite low at Lake Mead, not good at all. The Fluharty family will be putting seeds and plants in the ground to raise vegetables for sale this summer.

From what I gather from TV, the baseball season will begin soon. I ran into a list of black athletes who did much to further baseball.

Jackie Robinson was number 42, and all players from his team wore this number to reacquaint baseball fans with how he came up through the ranks and the problems he encountered.

Hopefully, the snow is over for this year. The crocuses and daffodils that raised their colorful blossoms during warmer days weathered the snow. They looked so strong peeking through the snow last week. Stay strong like those earlyblooming bulbs. Better weather is coming.

LEGALS

Ann’s Advice Dear Ann, I have a child who is on the cusp of getting their license. They are already asking about what they can and cannot do — and to be honest, I don’t know what to say. How far should they be allowed to travel? How many should be allowed in the car? I don’t know!

Sincerely, Backseat Driver Dear Backseat Driver, I understand the stress of teen drivers — I’ve had my share! If they start at 16, some are more responsible than others. But almost all of them usually think they know more or can handle more than they really can. I firmly believe parents have every right to know where their child is and where they are at all times. They are still your responsibility and should be accountable for their actions. That helps them grow up. As far as passengers go, I think they need a lot of experience until they take others with them. If you feel comfortable with their driving after you have ridden with them for a few weeks, then they have earned the ability to take a passenger or two. I always felt a full car of loud teenagers was too distracting for my children at first, but you know your child best and what they can handle.

Just take it slow and let them know that they will have more freedom if they rise to the occasion and do a good job. Take one day at a time, and you’ll both gain confidence; it just takes a while for some of us!

Love, Ann

Chamber of Commerce introduces ‘Champions’ ambassador project

BY JULIE MARSHALL Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer CADIZ — On Thursday, March 17, the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce hosted its “Coffee & Connections” at Ranch To Table in Cadiz. There were 12 local businesses represented.

Janet Fenstamaker from the Harrison County Visitor Center provided a list of local springtime events to start things off. The calendar can also be found on the Visitor Center’s Facebook page or website (www. visitharrisoncounty.com).

Carol and Sam Blakes also talked about their organization, Friends of the Puskarich Public Library. The group raises funds to do projects like providing free libraries to small communities (there’s one in Jewett). To house the neighborhood library, a replica of a cable car was built by volunteer Dennis Hirschback.

Other communities are in the plans as well. If you would like to volunteer with the Friends of the Puskarich Public Library, please contact

740-942-2623.

Finally, Shari Jo Watkins, owner of Elite Pro Coaching and specializing in educating businesses for growth, has partnered with the Chamber of Commerce to build a new website and social media presence. With Watkins’ guidance, the Chamber will be ramping up its offerings to members with a newsletter, sponsored events, a merchandise store, the “Chamber Champions” ambassador project, and many other programs to boost business growth in Harrison County. Chamber members will be offered discounted rates to work with Watkins personally to advance their own businesses. In addition, the Chamber is accepting new businesses into their organization. More information is available on their new website (www.harcocommerce.com).

Coffee & Connections is an opportunity for each attendee to share a snippet about their business or upcoming events, network with others, and enjoy a delicious breakfast.

The Chamber of Commerce will host their next connection on April 21 at 8:30 (Ranch to Table).

Harrison County & MWCD recalls Marina lessons for Tappan ‘little libraries’

BY ESTHER MCCOY Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer CADIZ — In order to make books more accessible to those who can’t make it to one of Harrison County’s three public libraries, planning is underway to have “little libraries” placed in other communities rather than just in the Jewett area. Sam Bates conducted the meeting, and a discussion was held on the best possible locations to place little libraries.

Deersville was mentioned; campers might be interested in reading in addition to enjoying the boating. New Athens, Sally Buffalo Park, and Hopedale were pitched as well.

“We have had great projects and good groups in the past. We want to get as many children interested in reading as possible by

putting up the little libraries where they will be utilized,” Sandy Thompson said.

Plans are in place for a six-week summer reading plan. According to Thompson, the Friends of the Library group is working on the project and wants it to be a fun time for reading. She will be joined by Carol Bates, secretary of the Friends of the Library group.

Thompson said there is a “Dolly Parton Challenge” to see if each county in Ohio could get 50% funding for the program. There were 470 children for Parton’s “Imagination Library.” This is an effort in all Ohio’s counties and is $25 per child. Fundraisers will have to be held to help with the books, and matching funds are available right now, per Thompson.

It is online for those who want to make donations. The idea is to get children interested in the written word.

LOOK AT THE PAST Catherine (Irene) Johnson Robbins

By Susan Adams Catherine (Irene) Johnson Robbins: Born on May 17, 1889, she was the daughter of W. L. Johnson and Ellen Miller of Cadiz.

She was a graduate of Cadiz High School in 1910. After graduation, she prepared to take up the work of a missionary, and in February 1913, she departed for Monrovia, Liberia.

There she was engaged in educational work for the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Monrovia, Republic of Liberia.

She was principal at the A.M.E. Institute in Monrovia. There she devoted her energies to the betterment of the condition of her race.

While in Monrovia, she met and married Mr. Guy Robbins, secretary of the United States legation (diplomatic minister). She contracted African fever, which developed into tuberculosis. They returned to Cadiz in 1915 because of her poor health. She passed away on Saturday, January 13, 1917 at her father’s home at 27. She was a bright woman and was much loved by her family and friends. The funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Professor W.H. Lucas and assisted by the Reverend Childers and Bishop Charles Bondy. She was survived by her father, four brothers, and three sisters. She is buried in the Cadiz Union Cemetery.

Welcome Center

BY SHAWN DIGITY twitter.com/DIGITYnodoubt MWCD met for its monthly Board of Directors meeting Friday, March 18, and Chief Engineer Boris Slogar took the floor during the contracts and purchases segment to talk about the newest Tappan project: Tappan Lake Park Welcome Center.

And while preliminary preparations had already been made to start taking offers to get the project underway, the recent memories of the Marina project worked into the session.

However, Slogar first introduced the project to the Board with parallels to another MWCD site.

“This is a project very similar to the Atwood Welcome Center,” Slogar explained. However, he added that there was about a $1 million difference between Atwood’s center versus the upcoming Tappan location. Tappan’s Welcome Center has been estimated to take about $2.6 million (Atwood was around $1.6 million).

But despite the similarities between the Atwood and Tappan projects, Director Joanne Limbach was curious about the hefty price differential between the two.

“What’s the difference between this and Atwood other than a million dollars?”

Limbach asked. But Slogar confirmed that there is more work to be done at the Tappan location, first and foremost.

Slogar had also factored in market volatility and the current over-the-top material prices.

“As we head into this, we’re interested to see what the market comes back to us with,” Slogar explained. “Trying to understand as much what the impacts are that we’re seeing currently today, whether it’s materials, labor, and general costing as we see. Our estimate right now is truly our best guess with what we think is a sellable project,” he added. And he also mentioned that they’d know if that’s the case in 30 days (from last Friday).

But as the board quipped about the Tappan “black

cloud,” they verbalized the need for better communication with contracted workers and operations when moving forward with the Tappan Welcome Center. The much-maligned and oft-delayed Tappan Marina is now a recent calling card for the Conservancy District’s learned lessons. Last summer, there were communication failures and project delays between the MWCD and the contractors working on the marina’s construction. What was once scheduled to open during the dog days of July was pushed back multiple times until a bulk of the peak season had been lost — a doubly costly endeavor considering the Tappan Marina Waters Edge restaurant had to postpone its opening to 2022.

But the point of Slogar’s short presentation was to recommend a motion to open the bidding process for the Welcome Center.

And the Board did just that; the motion was approved and allowed the project to open up to proposals.

OBITUARIES Joanne Graham Sarah Joanne Ha rri ma n Sedgmer Graham, 86, of Cadiz, passed away on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at the Meadows of Cadiz with her family by her side.

She was born on March 21, 1935 in Jewett, Ohio, a daughter of the late David and Pauline Walters Harriman.

She was affiliated with the Cadiz Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She worked at Ohio Cat, Cadiz High School, and in human resources.

She was preceded in death, in addition to her parents, by her first husband, William L. Sedgmer, Sr.; two grandsons, Jesse James White and Lucas D. Sedgmer; and her brother, J.D. Harriman.

Surviving is her husband, Gary Gene Graham; a son, William L. (Carolyn Calovini) Sedgmer, Jr. of New Athens; two daughters, Leslie (Dick) Lewis of Coshocton and Bettie (Benny) Ferraro of Cadiz; eight grandchildren: Willam Sedgmer III, Jacob Sedgmer, Elisabeth Bittinger, Colt Lewis, Ruger Lewis, Hawken Lewis, Cantessa Maria Ferraro, and Michael Ferraro; and 15 great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 22, 2022 from 11 a.m. until the service at 1 p.m. (Clark-Kirkland-Barr Funeral Home in Cadiz, Ohio). Private interment will be at the Fairview Gardens Cemetery in Jewett, Ohio.

K arolynn Wright Karolynn Jean Wright, 65, of Jewett, passed away with family by her side into the arms of her Savior on March 17, 2022, at the Allegheny General Hospital after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

She was born on Dec. 31, 1956 in LaGrange, Indiana and was married to Jesse Jay Wright on April 9, 1989. Her death breaks a marital union of nearly 33 years.

Karolynn graduated from Prairie Heights High School in 1975 and Goshen College in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in art.

She was a homemaker, dedicating her life first and foremost to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, then her family and her community.

She was a faithful and active member of Scio United Methodist Church, where she used her creative abilities to lead Vacation Bible School, Easter cantatas, and perhaps her proudest accomplishment, the “Bethlehem Walk.” A demonstration of her servanthood, Karolynn directed this “outdoor re-creation of the evening of Christ’s birth” for her community for over 20 years, sharing the gospel to thousands through drama and music. Karolynn was also the 4-H adviser of the Country Cousins Club for 29 years. She had an active role in raising rabbits and teaching and conducting clinics for fellow 4-H members. She had a special interest in history, particularly identifying her family’s genealogy. Karolynn loved art and could always

be found working on a drawing in her spare time. Above all, Karolynn will be remembered for her creativity, her ornery sense of humor, her love for the Lord, and her love for her family.

In addition to her husband, Karolynn is survived by her father, Karl Prough of Wolcottville, Indiana; one son, Michael Wright, and his wife Kendra of Milton, Pennsylvania; two daughters, Kristen Joseph and her husband Josh of Richland Center, Wisconsin and Kaylee Wright, who resides at home; four grandsons, Lane Joseph and Jordan, Jace, and James Wright; and one sister, Mary Herr, and her husband David of LaGrange, Indiana.

Karolynn was also a cherished sister-in-law and proud aunt to several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Mildred Schloltterback Prough of Wolcottville, Indiana.

Friends will be received from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 25 at the Koch Funeral Home (101 W. Main Street, Scio, Ohio). A celebration of Karolynn’s life will be held at the Scio United Methodist Church on Saturday, March 26 at 1 p.m., with services by the Reverend Jonathan Butera. Friends can also be received at noon prior to the service. Interment will be at Hanover Cemetery.

Due to the unexpected death of Karolynn, the family is requesting financial assistance with the funeral instead of flowers. All contributions can be made via https://gofund.me/28cd8b4b.

Fred and Louise Battles A joint memorial service celebrating the lives of the Reverend Frederick J. Battles and Sara Louise Battles will be held on Saturday, March 26, 2022 at 11 a.m. at the Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church (4195 Pleasant Valley Rd. SE, Dennison) with Pastor Jeri Myers officiating.

Sara Louise Mercer Battles, age 74, went home to her Lord and Savior on Thursday, January 6, 2022 in Union Hospital, Dover.

Born April 12, 1947 in Dennison, she was a daughter of the late Harry L. Mercer and Margaret E. Hennen Mercer. A 1965 graduate from Scio High School, Louise had worked as a secretary when she lived in Cleveland, then after moving back to the area, she was a special education aide at the Conotton Valley High School. She was a devoted member of the New Life Center in Barnhill, where her husband served.

The Reverend Frederick James “Fred” Battles, age 76, of Conotton, was called home to his Lord and Savior Friday on Feb. 4, 2022 in the Union Hospital in Dover.

Born May 29, 1945 in Martins Ferry, he was a son of the late Roy Battles and Margaret Beck Battles. Fred graduated from Conotton Valley High School in 1964 and proudly served his country in the Air Force from 1965–1970. In 1986 he became an ordained minister from the Gospel Crusade Institute of Ministry. He worked at Gradall in New Philadelphia and was the pastor of the New Life Center Ministries in Barnhill. He was also a member and former director of the Stumptown Steam Threshers.

On Nov. 14, 1970, he married Sara Louise Mercer Battles, who preceded him in death in January. Also preceding him in death is a brother, Paul Battles.

Fred and Louise are survived by their children, Timothy (Carita) Battles and Rhonda (Robert) Mann; grandchildren Dalton (Kelsey) and Lindsay Mann and Caeden, Emmett, Braleigh, and MaKenzie Battles; Louise’s

siblings Leroy (JoAnn) Mercer, Ronald (Twil) Mercer and Ruth Ann Miley; and friends that are like family, Paul and Martha Trushell.

Good NEWS

The Big Invitation

By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches PastorKenStaley@gmail.com Have you ever been invited to an event that you would have never guessed you would be asked to in a million years? Those kinds of surprises are nice, but what’s even nicer and completely unmerited is to be invited to a banquet hosted by God. There is no charge for it because nobody can afford it anyway. God has picked up the tab; the banquet is absolutely free. In this season of Lent, we approach Holy Week and read God’s banquet invitation in Isaiah 55: “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.”

This was written to God’s chosen people who spent years in captivity due to their rebellion, and now the gracious God of heaven and Earth is inviting them back to the covenant they willingly ignored.

As is the case with all humanity, God made the first move. The Israelites weren’t exactly beating down heaven’s door begging for forgiveness, and neither are most people today, but the invitation still stands. More often than not, the term “banquet” in the Bible is usually a symbol of salvation. If you are distant from God, you have an open invitation to come and draw near. That invitation is good for the entire time you spend on Earth; after that is the judgment.

One life to live, that’s all we get. It’s not just a good name for a soap opera; it’s Biblical truth. In Verse 2 of Isaiah 55, God asks, “Why labor for what is not bread?”.

Many today are still doing that, spending time going after everything except what matters most, a relationship with Jesus. It is possible to live a life of continual spending without ever finding satisfaction, but it is also possible to live a life of spending on the eternal and constantly receiving good things from the Lord. It’s the fleshly life of living for the moment versus the godly life of faith and living for the eternal. The choice is ours.

We may not think we deserve the blessings of God, and we would be right — we don’t. But we don’t get what we deserve from God; we get mercy and grace. Psalm 103 declares, “He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our iniquities.” Aren’t you glad for that?

This is why God says in Isaiah 55:8-11, “’My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways,’” declares the Lord. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’” And just what are his thoughts toward us? He tells us in Jerimiah 29:11: “I know the plans I have for you, plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” And again in Psalm 139:17: “God, how precious your thoughts are to me; how vast their sum is! If I counted them, they would outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore.” That’s a lot of good thoughts! The banquet is on, the table is set, and every person is invited to come and eat at no cost because Jesus paid the price — and that is good news!

Division of Wildlife estimates 806 bald eagle nests in Ohio COLUMBUS — The most recent bald eagle census from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife estimates 806 nests in the Buckeye State. This is an estimated increase of 14% from the 707 bald eagle nests documented in Ohio from the 2020 citizen science survey coordinated by the Division of Wildlife.

Bald eagle nesting success was at an estimated rate of 82% in the spring of 2021, and the number of young per nest was 1.6, well above the number of 1 per nest needed to sustain the population. These productivity rates are similar to previous years. The 2022 estimate will be released following the nesting season.

The Division of Wildlife’s bald eagle nesting survey consisted of flying five blocks, each roughly 10 square miles, to search for eagle nests in woodlots and along rivers. Two blocks, one near Sandusky on Lake Erie and the other over Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area in northeast Ohio, are flown every year. The other three blocks rotate every year. The 2021 blocks were located around Killbuck Wildlife Area, Grand Lake St. Marys, and the Maumee River in Defiance and Henry counties.

“Bald eagle management by the Division of Wildlife includes habitat conservation with an emphasis on wetlands and wooded river corridors, working with rehabilitators who help injured birds recover, and helping to enforce protective state and federal laws,” said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker.

“We are incredibly proud that Ohio’s bald eagle population continues to improve and grow.”

Bald eagles thrive in spaces with clean water and fish, their preferred food. Lake Erie and other large water bodies host the highest number of eagles because of easy access to food resources. All Ohioans can report a bald eagle nest at wildohio.gov or through the HuntFish OH mobile app.

In 2020, a nest census was completed to locate every active bald eagle nest in Ohio.

The results indicated Ohio had 707 active eagle nests in 85 counties. Most nests were confirmed on private property, with about 150

on public lands. Of those, 43 nests were located on Division of Wildlife properties.

The bald eagle was once an endangered species, with only four nesting pairs in Ohio in 1979. However, thanks to partnerships between the Division of Wildlife, Ohio zoos, wildlife rehabilitation facilities, concerned landowners, and conservationists, its population increased. After much hard work and continued conservation, the bald eagle was removed from the federal list of threatened and endangered species in 2007 and Ohio’s list in 2012.

Bald eagles are protected under both state law and the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, making it illegal to disturb bald eagles. When viewing these majestic birds, remember to respect the bird’s space and stay at least 100 yards away. Disturbing bald eagles at the nest site could lead the pair to abandon the eggs.

As with many of Ohio’s native wildlife species, bald eagles require specific habitat conditions to thrive. Bald eagle habitat protection and research are funded by the sale of bald eagle conservation license plates, income tax check-off donations to the Endangered Species and Wildlife Diversity Fund, and sales of the Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp.

First baby born during Ag Week

BY ESTHER MCCOY Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer STEUBENVILLE — The week of March 20 is signified as Ohio Farm Bureau Baby Week and has been for many years (except for 2021, COVID). This year, it was all systems go. The Jefferson County Farm Bureau ladies were excited about buying baby clothes, sippy cups (needed in later months), blankets, toys to grow into, and books to let sis Aiyanna Nikkole Hicks read to him in a few years.

There was a jar of home-gathered syrup, and Jeanne Roberts made a wide assortment of baby accessories. There was a diaper pad, diaper carry-all, diaper holder, bib, and other needed things. She has done this for new Farm Bureau babies since taking over as president of the ladies group.

Avery Jay (A.J.) Hicks was born on March 21 at 9:36 p.m. at the Ohio Valley Hospital to mom, Leanna Lessard, and his big sister was anxiously waiting to welcome him home. He is a tiny bundle, weighing 6 pounds 13 ounces and 18 inches long. He did not wake up once at the jousting around to get a good picture of him and mom.

The Ohio Art Education Association joined with Ohio Alliance for Arts Education, Ohio Citizens for the Arts Foundation, and Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board to mount an exhibition that recognizes talent, creativity, and innovation of students who receive highquality arts education instruction as part of their academic experience.

Olivia Dulkoski is a sixth-grade student at Harrison Central Elementary. She is the daughter of Michael and Angela Dulkoski of Cadiz. Olivia displayed her talent by drawing a partial portrait of the celebrity of her choice: Michael Jackson (pictured).

Harrison Central Elementary art teacher LeAnn Van Camp (aka Ms. V) presented a lesson on drawing human faces. Students learned about proportion and placement of each facial feature. In order to add character and depth to a portrait, students needed to know what a light source was and how it affected each facial feature to allow for highlighted and shaded areas. Olivia’s results were simply amazing!

Gracie Smith is a sophomore at Harrison

Central High School. She is the daughter of Lucas and Jessica Smith of Cadiz.

Gracie’s assignment was to create an original drawing using pen and ink, with a subject matter of her choice. She used a photographic reference of three burning candles as inspiration and used shading in the background to imply the light source given off by the candles. And a final hint of watercolor was used to add detail and contrast to the finished work.

Harrison Central junior and senior art teacher David Lackner teaches courses with increasing independence regarding subject matter and methods. Currently, Gracie is in Advanced Art, where project media (such as ink or acrylic paint) is the only aspect of a project determined by the teacher. With this freedom, Gracie has created numerous excellent works of art.

The exhibition hosts 40 works of art from Ohio’s students, kindergarten through twelfth grade. Please visit the exhibit, which will be open to the public at the Ohio statehouse during regular business hours April 4-27.

For more information about the 2022 Statehouse Student Exhibition, contact Jarrod Hartzler (jarrodhartzler@gmail.com). And for more details about the Ohio Art Education Association, please visit the website at www. oaea.org.

HARRISON CENTRAL — The Harrison Central Theatre presented "Beauty and the Beast" on March 18–20. The cast and crew consisted of talented students from grades 7–12.

The story unfolds with a spell being cast over the prince and his castle and Gaston (Taylor Cope) courting Belle (Abigail Creamer) and her refusing his advances.

Beast (Devan Woods) and enchanted objects Cogsworth (Peyton Roski), Lumiere (Mac Marshall), Mrs. Potts (Michaela Palmer), and Chip (Kira Birney) were hoping to be set free of the spell. Belle and the power of true love break the spell, and the Beast is tamed in the end by the love of his life.

Seniors Abigail Creamer, Devan Woods, Mac Marshall, Michaela Palmer, Kasey Novak, Austin Marker, Katie Scott, Matthew Smith, and Emberlynn Snyder were honored at the Saturday night production. The musical was directed by Ashley Doren, Bailie Ray, Mark Smith, Karli Ray, Madison Keller, and Taya Rocchi.

Play and learn the alphabet on April 7 at 11:30 a.m. The program is a play session where all toys, games, and art activities promote letter knowledge. It’s for children ages two to six and a parent or caregiver.

Conotton Valley Board of Education

BY JACQUIE HUMPHREY Correspondent LEESVILLE — At Conotton Valley Board of Education’s March meeting, Bart Busby, Bowerston’s village administrator, was present to speak to the Board about purchasing (or leasing) a portion of the property where the Bowerston Elementary building once stood.

Busby explained that the village is working on utility upgrade funding, and one suggestion from the EPA was relocating the water plant out of a flood plain. A brief discussion took place regarding this possibility, and board president Chris Bower said he felt that the relocation made sense. Board member Logan Putnam inquired on a potential time frame on when an answer was needed from the Board; Busby said within the next few months.

In other business, Darran Warner was hired as the district’s varsity wrestling coach.

Regarding the hire, interim athletic director Jonathon Stuck said that he is “excited to have Darran Warner joining us here at CV. His [Warner’s] resume speaks for itself. Not only is he a quality coach, but he is a quality person”.

Stuck continued, “Having just started the wrestling program here at Conotton, we feel that coach Warner is the person to help lead this program into the future and develop a program here at Conotton Valley.” Warner will

COUNTY COURT TRAFFIC DISPOSITION REPORT MARCH 21 There were 51 speeding violations, 5 seat belt violations, 3 failures to control, 2 tags, 1 overload, 3 registration violations, 2 no operator license, 6 no dog license, 3 driving under suspension.

COUNTY COURT CRIMINAL DISPOSITION REPORT Bush, Robert W. Disorderly conduct Leeper, Ryan M. Possession of drug abuse instruments Byler, Melvin J. Physical control Police Reports On March 13, Cadiz police officers ran across Ronald Grim Jr. Grim had a warrant out for his arrest along with stolen goods. Grim had stolen M&M’s from Dollar General and a beard trimmer from Rite Aid. Grim has also been charged with possession of methamphetamine.

On March 20, near West Market Street, two offenders were caught. Charges were sent to the prosecutor’s office for Thomas Garrison and Julie Milligan. They were arrested on charges of simple assault.

that the community has been anticipating. Some of the laborers are of the understanding that the company is almost ready to break ground — possibly only rumors — but have yet to contact any local unions to create contracts. The workers have attempted to reach out to the company, but they “have completely shut out communications,” according to Clint Powell, a member of Laborers’ Local 809.

Union members are concerned about future projects using out-of-state labor for several reasons.

Powell said, “This is our area, our community.” One would be hard-pressed to find a local person who prefers out-ofstate workers. Local labor can keep local money within the community.

Another major concern is safety. The area’s local workers are well-trained, licensed, and certified through local means,

including apprenticeships that the community trusts.

That’s not to say all workers from elsewhere won’t be well-trained, but the worried laborers that came to the Harrison County commissioners shared stories that have reportedly occurred at past projects that used outside help. The accounts of the attending laborers described undisciplined and reckless behavior coming from the outside workers.

The commissioners could not give the labor reps any absolutes but spoke to their understanding of the situation.

They will be handling the situation one step at a time.

The Harrison NewsHerald attempted to reach out to Gemma Power Systems for comment but has not yet heard back.

Scio Garden Club announces 2022 officers The Scio Garden Club held its first 2022 meeting on Tuesday in the Brach Room at the Scio Library.
