Smith sentenced in murder case

BY SHAWN DIGITY twitter.com/DIGITYnodoubt

Larry J. Smith received his sentencing after months of delays.

Charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of Lorie Storie, Smith was handed down the maximum sentence from Judge T. Shawn Hervey during Monday morning's session.

Prosecutor Lauren Knight quickly recapped the case and gave a rundown of Smith's actions that led to his sentencing. Storie's body had been discovered in a Tappan Lake spillway in February 2020 with forensic indications of blunt force trauma — speculated to have come from some sort of tool. Through later discovery and search warrants, a description matching Smith's truck led investigators to the 65-yearold Hopewell man. Upon further analysis, Storie's blood was found in Smith's truck and home.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey handed down the maximum sentence to Smith as it was discerned that the first-degree felony voluntary manslaughter was committed to the worst possible offense. Hervey listed off many factors that came into the ruling, physical harm and death being two of the elements of Smith's

Both LARRY SMITH and his attorney Benjamin W. Whitacre took the floor at points to apologize to the family of Lorie Storie.

Many of Storie’s friends and family members were present to give victims’ statements at the stand.

sentence.

Moreso, Smith was also facing a first-degree misdemeanor of abuse of court, which Hervey explained would merge with his manslaughter See MURDER Pg.- 6

Commissioners: ‘Economic development not coming to the end in the county’

BY REBECCA BRATTEN WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer Although the working relationship between the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation and the county commissioners has been terminated for now, "economic development is not coming to an end in the county," Commissioner Paul Coffland told the Harrison News-Herald.

The long-standing agreement between the two groups ended last month after over a year of contention. According to Dale Arbaugh, HCCIC President, the organizations had managed to iron out most of their differences, leaving only one sticking point: the HCCIC's refusal to acquiesce to the commissioners' request to dismiss executive director Nick Homrighausen.

However, Coffland said, the disagreement over Homrighausen — whom the commissioners have accused in the past of unethical behavior — was only one of a cluster of issues. "Their executive director was one of those issues but not the sole or main issue," he stated. And he and Arbaugh had been trying to resolve these differences for a while, Coffland added. "At one point, I thought Dale and I had come to an agreement. But as those issues weren't resolved at a certain point, we opted to part ways."

As for what the disagreements were — other than the commissioners' objections to Homrighausen — Coffland said he didn't think he was at liberty to fully discuss the issues but stated that they had been spelled out during executive sessions (such meetings are not open to the press or the public).

But what the dissolution of the CICcommissioner working relationship means for future economic development in Harrison County remains to be seen.

"It's a little bit of a unique situation," said Coffland. He explained that CICs are generally created to be an extension of local government, facilitate property transfers and sales, and act as an agent for economic development. At present, the Harrison County CIC still holds property that the county had transferred to

them. And they can still market and sell that property. However, it is not completely clear what would happen to the proceeds of that sale or how that income would be divided.

However, the scenario is not entirely without precedent. Other counties in the region that formerly had CICs have severed ties and worked out other arrangements, such as having a port authority as their main agent.

Coffland was adamant that whatever happens, both the commissioners and the HCIC would continue to work on economic development and continue to listen to and work for the people of Harrison County.

"We are wanting simply to do what's best for Harrison County. I believe that on both ends."

Currently, several projects are still underway that both the commissioners and the HCCIC have been involved with — including Western Magnesium and the proposed power plant.

On the subject of Harrison Energy, Coffland also cleared up some possible confusion about whether or not they would be breaking ground in July 2022: several addenda have been made to the original agreement with the plant, which was written several years ago. Most recently, the agreement was updated to allow for a start date in July 2022 and finish date of three years later, but, Coffland explained, this amended agreement specified that the project could start in July — not that it would.

"We're hopeful; we'd love to see it start in July. We have the building trades coming to our meetings weekly; we're reaching out, trying to make sure local labor and supplies are used as much as possible," Coffland said.

But as far as an actual start date, this remains undetermined.

As to whether county residents can expect an uptick in the oil and gas play locally, Coffland said it was hard to be certain.

"The industry as a whole is up in the air right now. So many world events are happening, we have administration changes, there's going to have another election in November that could change things again."

However, he noted that industry remains an essential part of our local economy, the United States, and the world.

LOOK AT THE PAST Beech Point School

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

By Susan Adams

Beech Point School in Athens Township was located at the top of a hill on State Route 9, two miles east of New Athens. General George Custer taught here before going to West Point (Custer graduated from Hopedale College).

Other teachers included Emmet Webb, the Reverend John Fulton, Ellsworth Dunlap, Sara Hughes, Ruben Mills, Frank Groon, and Mary McConnell Harris. The last teacher taught here in 1938. There were six other schools in Athens Township: Hopwood, Oakdale, Oak Hill, Sixteen, Jockey Hollow, and New Athens.

The defendant began rambling incoherently, apparently not directly speaking to anybody in particular. When Judge T. Shawn Hervey announced the court was on record, Fluharty went quiet. Hervey announced that the man had submitted to an evaluation for competency. Both prosecutor Lauren Knight and public defender C. Adrian Pincola reviewed the report and were comfortable accepting its findings.

Hervey read the court's statement, "Mr. Fluharty is capable of factually but not rationally understanding legal proceedings and is not currently capable of assisting in his defense. The court is going to find him incompetent of standing trial."

Belmont-Harrison VSD earns Fair board Auditor’s Award talks avian ST. CLAIRSVILLE — A recent financial audit of the Belmont-Harrison Vocational School District by the Auditor of State Keith Faber's office earned an Auditor's Award for good record keeping.

"This award honors the hard work school district officials put in daily to keep clean, accurate financial records," Faber said. "Their efforts go a long way toward making Ohio more efficient, effective, and transparent."

The Auditor of State Award is presented

to local governments and school districts upon completing a financial audit.

Entities that receive the award meet the following criteria of a "clean" audit report: The entity must file timely financial reports with the Auditor of State's Office; the audit report does not contain any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, single-audit findings, or questioned costs; the entity's management letter has no comments related to ethics referrals,

questioned costs less than $10,000, lack of timely report submission, reconciliation, failure to obtain a timely single audit, findings for recovery less than $100, and public meetings, or public records.

"It's an honor to receive this award on behalf of the school district," stated treasurer Mark Lucas. "I would like to thank our Board of Education, superintendent, and staff for their hard work, which helped in making this possible."

flu

BY ROBERT AMABILE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

The Harrison County Fair will be held June 20–25, and the fair board met on Monday evening to get more of the details sorted out.

The meeting began with the board discussing finances; expenses were all in order. The board was also pleased to count up the sponsors. So far, they have raised almost $7,000.

The board discussed other details, including finding people to work the gates and parking; there seems to be a shortage of volunteers to handle those posts. Although the attendants get paid, nobody is interested — especially when it comes to parkers. For now, the board has decided they will focus on getting the gates covered and possibly just using signs for fairgoers to handle their own parking.

Next, the fair board went over concessions, activities, and events. Everything on that end appeared to be going smoothly. They expect several activities to be set up by Movin and Groovin Productions. The business is expected to bring a rock wall, bull riding, a train, and nacho concessions.

However, the biggest thing on the board's mind was concern over avian flu. Veterinarian Dr. Matt Friend was at the meeting to discuss those concerns.

Friend said that the risks of spreading avian flu are nothing to panic over but should be taken into consideration. He is expecting a decrease in cases by the time the fair rolls around. Friend called the situation a "biosecurity teaching lesson" that could be good for the kids in 4-H. He expects that these kids, for their future careers, Fiscal assistants LEIGH BRATTON (left to right) and Jordan Woodruff, treasurer Mark Lucas, and Southeast Region Liaison for the will need to learn all about what goes into commercial Auditor of State’s Office Grant Davis. production, and the avian flu presents an opportunity to learn about the measures taken to prevent the spread of diseases.

At the moment, bird exhibitions are still planned for the 2022 fair. And until the state says otherwise, the fair issues, a collaboration among Ohio Farm decisions, explained Sally McClaskey, board is preparing as if the show will go on.

Well, through the talks that we had, I had to inform him that we were closed on Tuesdays because the date they chose fell on a Tuesday. So they were just going to order cold subs and salads and send someone ahead to pick them up.

But Chef Jeff and I were talking about it, and since he and Viola Best were already going to be there putting food away, we decided that we would open on Tuesday, May 3, for those officers — so that they could enjoy Village Pizza like everyone else who has tried it. Plus, it was for a good cause!

Bobcats down Huskies for 4A title

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

RICHMOND — The Cambridge Bobcats and Harrison Central Huskies took the field at Edison High School's new athletic complex last Friday night in Jefferson County, with the OVAC 4A Championship trophy up for grabs.

The Bobcats got a stellar performance out of pitcher Jake Valentine. The junior fanned 11 Harrison batters en route to a complete-game 5-0 victory, an effort that captured the game's MVP honors at night's end.

The Huskies loaded the bases in the top of the first inning, only to have Valentine work his way out of the jam with a one-out infield pop-fly and a two-out grounder to second.

Unfortunately for Huskies head coach Mike Valesko, it was the only major threat his squad would deliver on the evening.

"Obviously disappointed in the outcome of the OVAC game. However, I loved the passion and energy we brought to the field. I'm happy for the kids to get the opportunity to play in that environment, and I believe it will help us come postseason time," Valesko stated.

Huskies starting pitcher Tre Rex worked some first-inning magic as the Bobcats, too, loaded the bases in their half, only to have Rex match Valentine's effort and shut the door on any scoring.

It was the second inning, however, that started the shift in momentum. Cambridge capitalized on a string of mistakes to go in front 2-0, and with Valentine finding a groove on the hill, even a two-run deficit seemed unlikely to overcome. The Bobcats added two more runs in the third to stack the odds further and then another in the fifth. After getting three on the bags in the first, the Huskies only put four other baserunners in play the rest of the game.

Rex struck out seven Bobcats, surrendering six hits and three free passes. In the sixth, senior Trace Rutter was called on for relief, pitching one full inning with a strikeout to his line. Freshman Tucker Snyder, Jonathan Vermillion, and Cabot Arbaugh all finished with a single each to account for the entirety of Harrison's offense.

It was a "third time is the charm" type of night for the Bobcats. Cambridge had played in the last two OVAC championship games

leading into last week's affair, coming up short in their most recent two attempts. With a record of 11-4 and an OVAC title in hand, the Bobcats will be looking for a high seed in the East District Division II tournament.

All is not lost on the regular-season effort for the Huskies (11-7), as they will get their shot at redemption just a week later; the two teams will meet once again Friday, May 6, this time for the Buckeye 8 Athletic League Championship.

It will be Harrison's first-ever appearance in the league's baseball championship event.

This past Monday, the Huskies led one of West Virginia's premier programs in the Wheeling Park Patriots through five innings.

Leading 2-1 in the sixth, the Huskies couldn't shake mistakes in the field, and the Patriots took the lead with a four-run inning. Adding a run in the seventh, the Patriots went on to win 6-2.

"Both the Cambridge and Park games, we felt like one or two hits would have opened up the game for us and produced a different result. Playing these teams down the stretch will pay off in a few weeks, and we have to stay on course," Valekso concluded.

"Two Harrison Central boys throwing records were broken in the past week. Hunter Boals broke the shot put record set by Andrew Corder in 2004, and Taylor Cope broke the discus record set

by Josh Yeske in 2007. Boals is a sophomore, and Taylor Cope is a junior. Their hard work is definitely showing! Throwing coach Brandon Haney has not only done an excellent job in coaching Boals and Cope but coaching the entire throwing events squad," Turner concluded.

Back on the road on Thursday, April 28, the Lady Huskies were in St. Clairsville to engage the Red Devils. There, the Huskies outhit the Red Devils 8-7 and took advantage of 14 walks and eight St. Clairsville errors to come away with an 18-5 decision. Touville was credited with a double and a home run as she drove in six runs. Butler had two RBIs and two singles; Rylie Smith also drove in two with a single.

Tristen Kovarik, the winning pitcher, struck out five and doubled in a run. Also notching RBIs were Lizzy Clelland, Kaylee Banal, Tonkovich, and Williams. Final score: Harrison Central 18, St. Clairsville 5.

Back in Harrison County on April 30, the Huskies took on the Edison Wildcats.

Harrison Central took advantage of five Wildcat errors while adding five hits to produce a 7-2 victory.

OBITUARIES George Blake Henderson George B. Henderson, age 82, of Wildwood, Missouri passed away on Saturday, April 9, 2022, peacefully at home surrounded by his family.

Formerly of New Athens, Ohio, George was born on Dec. 29, 1939 to Thomas Blake and Mary Alice Henderson. Beloved by many, George was unfailingly kind and was a gentle presence to all who knew him. He always led with love and respect, qualities that can be undoubtedly attributed to his loving and kindhearted parents.

George and his soulmate Lois married on Aug. 20, 1960 in Cadiz, Ohio. Lois is the daughter of the late Emerson and Sylvia Giffin Mizer, owners of the former Hillcrest Dairy in Cadiz. Now 61 years later, their unwavering commitment to each other was something many only dream about. We hope for love in everyone’s life as true, deep, and inspiring as theirs.

George attended Ohio University and graduated from Cincinnati College of Embalming in 1961. In his early years in the funeral business, he was a part-owner of a funeral home in St. Clairsville, where George and Lois welcomed George Bradley in October 1961 and Sarah Lynn in June 1964. George Henderson operated with a wholesome heart and thoughtfully cared for loved ones, both deceased and bereaved.

In 1977, he was offered an opportunity in St. Louis, Missouri and felt called to move his family from Columbus, Ohio. Ultimately, the Hendersons thrived in St. Louis and became part of the incredible local community, including with those at Bonhomme Presbyterian Church. This experience led to George being a persistent advocate for seizing opportunities that might come your way.

George worked as the general manager for Adam Wholesalers, distributing Andersen and Masonite products for many years out of St. Louis. He carried his teams with respect and endless quality. Another change came about in 1998 when he was offered an opportunity in Vandalia, Ohio, where George and Lois lived until 2008.

In addition to his work, George served six years in the United States Army Reserves; he was also a 50+ year member of the National Funeral Directors Association; a 50+ year member of Belmont Lodge; and a member of First Presbyterian Church in St. Clairsville, Ohio, St. Andrew in Columbus, Bonhomme Presbyterian Church in St. Louis, and Westminster Presbyterian Church in Dayton, Ohio.

After retiring in 2005, George and Lois moved back to the St. Louis area to be near their family but frequented their hometowns in Ohio. In 2012, they purchased a lake house in Cuba, Missouri, a lifelong dream realized.

Being near the water can be a source of peace and joy for many; the water seemed to empower George. Ocean and lake viewing alike were sources of great happiness. Lake life for George and Lois could not be topped. Their family, almost all residing in the St. Louis area, would join them on summer weekends at the

lake for boat rides/Bailey’s Cruise, waterskiing, dock talks, and delightful togetherness.

George had a unique ability to exercise patience in trying circumstances. One instance in particular, while at the helm of his boat, he would encourage people to waterski and persevere no matter how many times they’d fall. At 82, George captained his Bayliner as his (also 82-year-old) wife Lois and her tandem partner, children Brad or Sarah, waterskied in the summer of 2021. It was always said George and Lois were an incomparable couple; speedboats and waterskiing at 82 were no exception.

You might say a diamond was George’s best friend — a baseball diamond, that is. The Hendersons had many unique opportunities with the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates as their son, Brad, was a part of both organizations. George and Lois spent a lot of time in the stands, cheering on their favorite teams. Be it professional athletes or his grandchildren, George loved to take in a game.

One could often find George and Lois chatting around their kitchen table. They would spend hours in their sacred space drinking coffee and sharing with each other.

An invitation to their table was always open, and we are now left longing to have one more chat with our favorite beacon of wisdom.

Countless times George found himself in the middle of a joke and laughing too hard to finish it. His eyes would squint, his smile would beam, and he would laugh uncontrollably.

It was absolute, pure elation. Don’t worry; we’d eventually hear the end of the joke, but our delight came from George’s exceptional delivery.

Always “the true gentleman,” George was always coiffed, shaved (and thank goodness, a mustache trial in 2014 was hilariously, yet also poorly, received by the grandchildren), and looking sharp. Often alternating between pastels and plaid, he always presented himself with a true air of distinction and esteem.

George was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas Blake and Mary Alice Henderson.

George is survived by his wife of 61 years, Lois Henderson; sister Sally Johnson; children, Brad (Julie) Henderson and Sarah Lynn Mandziara; grandchildren: Blake (Megan), Andrew (Megan), Brooke, David, and Scott (Taylor); and great-grandchildren, Brooks and Lindsay. In the wake of our grief, we can take comfort knowing George, our beloved brother, husband, father, pops, and papa is at home with our Lord and Savior.

Celebration of life services will be held on May 14, 2022 at the Presbyterian Church of Cadiz. Visitation is at 10 a.m., with the service following at 11, before burial in New Athens, Ohio. Local arrangements are being made by Clark-Kirkland-Barr Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to the Indian Hills Lake Restoration Committee (PO Box 800 Cuba, MO 65453) or the music program at Sound Investment Fund/Bonhomme Presbyterian Church (14820 Conway Road, Chesterfield, MO 63017).

School in 1965. Grace was a proud member of the Cadiz marching band. She still loved to tell stories about band camp, state fair, and D.G, their beloved band director. Some of the best stories always included her three best friends of over 65 years, Chris Tomer, Barb Conter, and Carol Fogle.

Grace spent her life being a homemaker, a doctor, a wife, a mom, a best friend, and to those who knew her best, she was “MeMe.” Her love for her family and friends was greater than anything in her life. She loved to travel when the kids or grandkids didn’t need her, but she could never wait to get home.

Grace is survived by her children, Spencer (Lisa) Greer and Shaye Greer, of Madison, Ohio; two grandchildren, Jordan Greer of Alexandria, Virginia and Cheyenne Greer (Scott) of Madison; and the newest member and only great-grandchild, McKenzie Nycoal of Madison.

Grace was preceded in death by her husband Robert “Buddy” Erwin in 2020, her previous husband John W. “Bill” Greer of Scio in 1989, her parents, and her brothers, Harley Wayne Harris (Eufaula, Oklahoma) in 2018 and Leroy Harris (Hopedale, Ohio) in 2020.

Joey Ledger Joseph E. “Joey” Ledger, 58, of Cadiz, passed away unexpectedly while at work on Monday, May 2, 2022. Joey was born on Feb. 23, 1964 in Dennison, Ohio, a son of Wanda Turner Ledger of Cadiz and the late Charles

“Bud” Ledger.

Joey was a graduate of Cadiz High School and Akron University, worked for the Harrison County Engineers office as a bridge inspector, and was a Methodist by faith.

Surviving, in addition to his mother, is his wife, whom he married on April 8, 1995, Jacqueline “Jackie” Vich Ledger, along with her boys Jacob and Jack Graham; their daughter, Jesse (fiance’ Kyle Sant) Ledger of Cadiz; granddaughter, Lorelei Graham; sister, Lorrie (Charles) Kidder of Dublin; sister-in-law, Pam (Tom) Sprowls; brother-in-law, Chris (Kim) Vich; and a number of nieces, nephews, and great-nephews.

Joey’s favorite time of his life, he often spoke of with a smile and tears, were the many years, countless hours, and miles spent following his children in their many sports and 4-H activities. Those were the best times, he always said.

He was a proud Huskie supporter, Legion baseball fan, little league baseball and softball coach, and he loved his Cadiz Cardinal classmates of 1982. Alumni golf week was a favorite time of the year for him.

He was a lover of animals, having many dogs and cats, and he loved feeding the birds.

Harrison County, especially sitting on his back porch, was his favorite place to be. He always said, “I like my view.”

Calling hours will be held on Friday, May 6, from 5–8 at the Clark-Kirkland-Barr Funeral Home in Cadiz, where the funeral service will be held on Saturday at 11 a.m. with the Reverend David Lee officiating. Burial will be

at the convenience of the family.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for memorial contributions to the Cadiz High School Alumni Association (c/o Jon Kirkland, 413 Oakwood Drive, Cadiz, Ohio 43907) or the Harrison County Dog Pound Volunteers (82900 Toot Road, Cadiz, Ohio 43907).

"Every life has meaning and value. Lorie Storie's life had meaning and value. Taking a life, no matter what the circumstances are, is not tolerated, and will not be tolerated, and will not be tolerated in Harrison County," Hervey stated.

"No one's quite certain where you killed Miss Storie. You are — but no one else is. But we know where you left her. You left her in a ditch half-buried in water, in the elements for animals and decay to take her. No one should be left in that condition.

That is why you're receiving the maximum penalty…We can never bring her back," Hervey continued.

SHERIFF’S REPORTS Around 4 a.m. in Bowerston, a man awoke to a loud bang outside his home. He went out in the dark to find someone had hit his parked car. It is unknown who hit it or what they were driving.

In Freeport, deputies were dispatched to a complaint of eggs being thrown at a man’s van. The man had heard loud sounds coming from outside. Upon inspecting, he found his van had eggs splattered all over the windshield of his vehicle. He also found eggs had been thrown at the buildings on his property.

A couple had lent their friend a car to use. After two weeks, the friend has still not returned the vehicle. They warned the friend that if he didn’t return it by the end of the day, they would bring it to the attention of authorities. He didn’t return it. Deputies went to the man’s home to find him and the van.

He told the sheriff’s office he didn’t have the chance to return the vehicle. He was then cited for unauthorized use of a vehicle.

Deputies were called to do a welfare check by a woman claiming to be worried about her daughter. When deputies arrived at the address, they found the woman to be fine. She told them she was avoiding speaking with her mother. Her ex-boyfriend was living at her mother’s house, and she told deputies she had a no-contact order filed against him. She took the opportunity to also file a complaint against the ex-boyfriend for attempting to contact her multiple times.

A farmer reported six stolen round hay bails. He also complained of a neighbor’s cows running free on his property. He told deputies the cows had grazed on alfalfa, orchard grass, and clover he had just planted. Deputies saw a text message from the neighbor agreeing to take care of the damages, but the farmer had yet to receive anything. He claims the damages are in the range of $15,000.

The Amish Corner

by Katherine Miller

Hello, This leaves me on a Tuesday evening.

We had some rain today; it rained pretty hard tonight, so everything is soaked up again. We were working on weedeating and extras today — something good for the boys to do. They had their last day of school [last] Friday, so it’s nice to have a break in packing lunchboxes. But the summer usually goes by too fast.

Yesterday, Andrew’s mom went to the hospital in the ambulance, as she was having seizures. They are giving her medicine through IVs. So we are hoping she can come home tomorrow.

You all have a good week.

From Katherine’s Kitchen...

Potato Haystack Casserole 3 pounds hash browns 2 packages ranch dressing mix 2 cups sour cream 2 cups milk 4 pounds hamburger 2 packages taco seasoning Brown hamburger.

Add salt, pepper, and taco seasoning Put potato mixture in big roaster, then put hamburger on top Cheese Sauce 3/4 cups flour 4 cups milk 8 tablespoons butter 1 pound Velveeta cheese Melt butter, and stir in flour. Add milk, stirring until boil. Add cheese, let set until melted. Pour on top of casserole; bake for one hour. Last, add Doritos.

16,000 steps a day.

Humankindness in every one of them.

In a single shift, our nurses take an average of 16,000 steps — twice as many as what a regular person walks per day. And in each and every one of these steps, care expertise and healing guidance, to holding their hands and cheering them up, our nurses embody humankindness in everything they do. This Nurses Week, we want to thank our nurses for their dedication, optimism, strength, and for

Happy Nurses Week!

Students tour Encino Energy drilling pad

Nearly 30 Buckeye Career Center Energy Operations students, staff members, and area dignitaries recently experienced a drilling well pad in operation. The April 28, 2022 trip was coordinated by Encino Energy and featured a visit to Encino’s Leeper well pad, located on the Carroll-Tuscarawas County line near Sherrodsville.

Encino provided flame-resistant clothing for each attendee, along with hard hats and safety glasses. The Ohio Oil & Gas Energy Education Program or OOGEEP provided headsets for each person to wear and interact with tour guides during the trip. BCC students attended a similar trip in 2019 to an Encino well pad in Harrison County. Trip coordinator and Encino Energy’s Director of External Affairs Jackie Stewart believes the trip is essential for students to learn about career opportunities that are close to home.

“The natural gas and oil industry is hiring.

Encino is hiring and with the prolific Utica Shale right under our feet, we plan to invest in Ohio for a very long time,” said Stewart. “As the day went on it was clear that the kids started to see this reality firsthand and the students were getting more excited about opportunities in this career,” she said.

The trip also included speaking with a drill operator who works inside the “doghouse”

or rig site command center. BCC Energy Operations program instructor Brandon Irwin was happy the students witnessed that part of the operation. “We watch a lot of videos and animations of it but it’s not the same as being there and seeing all of the minor details that go into it, in person. The employees were great to the kids and were very thorough and professional,” he said.

Ohio Senator Jay Hottinger and Tuscarawas County Commissioner Al Landis were instrumental in making the trip possible, as was Landis for the 2019 trip. Both Hottinger and Landis toured the facility with the students and expressed their gratitude to Encino and to the students for being open and accepting of learning more about oil and gas careers.

“The opportunities are absolutely in your hands and what you do with it from this point on is up to you,” said Landis. Hottinger recounted hearing from an employee that moved to Ohio from Seattle for a job in the industry. “He came here specifically for these opportunities. I just don’t want young people here not to be aware of the great opportunities that are in their back yard,” Hottinger said.

Following the tour, attendees were treated to a lunch-and-learn presentation with Encino officials and OOGEEP’s Shawn Toy. Each student also received a swag bag of goodies.

CV BoE holds special meeting

BY JACQUIE HUMPHREY Staff Correspondent

LEESVILLE — The Conotton Valley Board of Education held a special meeting on Monday, May 2, to fill the superintendent role vacated by Todd Herman's resignation at the regular April meeting.

Zucal, hired as elementary principal at the beginning of the current school year, was appointed interim superintendent from April 27 through July 31 at a $200-per-day rate.

The board further approved hiring Zucal as superintendent for a five-year term, beginning on Aug. 1, 2022, at $130,000 per year.

Of the new position, Zucal said, "I am extremely humbled and honored to be named the next superintendent of the Conotton Valley Union Local School District. My gratitude is extended to the Board of Education members for placing their faith and trust in me."

Of his time so far at Conotton, Zucal said, "This community and its commitment and dedication to one another is so inspiring and motivates me each and every day. I look

forward to working even more closely with our great leadership team to build even stronger relationships with our students and their families while ensuring each of our young people is able to realize the fullness of his or her human potential".

Departing superintendent Todd Herman will complete his duties as of May 9. Herman served as Conotton's high school principal for three years before taking the role of superintendent in 2015. Zucal said he feels that "Herman has laid a solid foundation for success. With that being said, I am confident our Rockets will soar to even new heights."

The next regular meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education will be held on Thursday, May 19, at 7 p.m. in the Rocket Center library.

The board also approved a quote for $74,397 from Staley Technologies to upgrade the camera system at the school. The quote includes material and labor. Tabled until May 19's meeting were quotes from Vasco for artificial turf on the baseball field ($953,530) and the softball field ($505,475.00).

HOLLOWAY

By Susan Adams The Holloway VFD Activities group would like to thank everyone who made the Friday, May 6 fish fry a success.

Have you noticed the beautiful veterans banners proudly hanging in Cadiz and Piedmont? The Holloway Volunteer Fire Department & Activities Committee has been working on a plan to show gratitude to our Holloway veterans. We want to be able to fly as many banners as possible, so we’re offering to share the cost by purchasing the hanging brackets ($60), and you will pay only for the banner ($60). What a beautiful and patriotic way to honor and show our support for our hometown heroes. So, if you would like to show how proud you are of your hometown hero (or yourself), start looking for a service photo (preferred), branch of service, and the years served. We plan to have the banners hung by Memorial Day! We will be able to put up to three veterans per banner. Forms are available on the Holloway Volunteer FD Activities Committee Facebook page and in the little library box at the Holloway VFD activity building. They want to get these up by Memorial Day weekend.

The Holloway community extends sympathy to the family of Ronald Eugene Hickenbottom, 75, of Holloway, who passed away on April 27. Ron worked as a deputy sheriff for Belmont and Guernsey counties.

He served in the U.S. Marine Corps and received the Silver Star medal for his service in the Vietnam War. Burial was at Rock Hill Cemetery in Flushing.

Attention 2022 graduates: Per Mayor Sheperd, see Heidi at the village office with information and a picture of the graduate for banners to be made and displayed in the Old Timers area. It’s a great way to recognize our graduates. They were really nice last year.

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

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

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

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

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

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

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy It is May already, and with that comes the time-honored day, Mother’s Day. I loved the day for what I could do to make my mother happy. And it didn’t take much at all to do it.

I baked her an angel food cake when I was 11 years old because I knew that she loved them.

It didn’t rise very high and was a bit gummy when sliced, but she praised that cake for days. If your mother is still with you, please treasure her. Mine isn’t, and I miss her in many situations. Along with the May 8 Mother’s Day, there comes the declared V-E Day that occurred in 1943 — so many years ago that many of this generation don’t remember it.

I am sorry that we had to miss the Harrison Coal and Reclamation dinner-auction. It is the first one that was missed in over 15 years, but another important occasion occurred that day. It was graduation time at Ohio State University, and my sweet granddaughter of 27 years received the diploma she had studied to earn after almost nine years to be in the medical field. And I feel bad to tell you that I cannot remember her specialty. I will tell you next week. Grandma’s mind slips a bit now and then.

A Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit will be stopping in Steubenville, one of 13 stops in Ohio communities in May, to honor veterans and their supporters. It will be at the Fort Steuben Mall on May 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and a ceremony honoring veterans, especially Vietnam veterans, will be held at 4 p.m. The Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit will bring the community together to learn about the patriotism, service, and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes.

Lamont and I attended the District 13 OH3 Convention in Wooster on April 22–24. From our local area, we had Neal and Nina Cleaver of Mount Pleasant and Dillonvale Lions; R.J. and Laura Konkoleski and Karl and Shirley Bowers of Adena Lions, David and Tim Miser of Cadiz Lions, and Lamont and myself of the Brilliant Lions Club. Rob Murray, past district governor and a former resident of Cadiz in his younger years, gave roll call, read the secretary’s report, and was the parliamentarian in the business session of the meeting. Leroy and Clara Sue Myslinski of the Mingo Junction Lions Club asked to deposit their parade of check, which we did along with that from our Brilliant Club.

UNIONPORT

Julie Carman of Hopedale visited with Mary Lou Yaich recently. They enjoyed talking about family get-togethers and memories. The spring art show is now being held at Eastern Gateway Community College. For additional info, you may call 740-283-1787 for this nearby event.

Pastor Chuck and Carolyn Mehl of the Unionport Methodist Church will be leading a Bible study Wednesday at 10 a.m. in the church in Unionport. Prayer time will be at 9:30 a.m. on the same day. Everyone is welcome; it’s open to the public.

Read 2 Chronicles 7:14 Mother’s Day is Sunday, May the 8. Happy Mother’s Day to all.
