Cadiz

OKs new police dog

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ—After approving the minutes of the last meeting, the Cadiz Council heard from Jewett Police Chief Ron Carter about a police canine. A canine officer is important for any police department as a dog can sniff out drugs coming into the community and lower officer risks by stopping foot pursuits and apprehending dangerous criminals with their teeth.

He shared about an interaction with someone he knew was bringing narcotics into the village, but he couldn’t do much without a canine to alert the vehicle. “He informed me that we didn’t have a canine, and I wasn’t searching his car,” Carter said. “He had a few choice words… and I was a little irritated by that.” In his frustration, he asked Cadiz Police Chief Ryan McCann if he found a way to get a dog without costing the village anything, would he have his blessing to do it? “He said he would,” Carter said. “MarkWest–MPLX generously agrees there is a need for a canine, and they’ve donated $10,000 to the village of Cadiz for a canine program. Encino Energy was also adamant and supportive of a canine and will donate $12,500 for the program.” He explained there are also grants available through Tri-State Canine that can be applied for to help cover more costs.

Carter has participated in police canine programs before with canine Indy. “Canine Indy was vital to our police department. We had over 300 drug arrests, multiple criminal apprehensions, found a missing person, found a male in the woods on a domestic with a weapon, and most importantly, saved my life. On a traffic stop, I had a guy I didn’t see coming up behind me with a knife, and Indy engaged.”

A canine is the best way to combat drugs being moved into our villages. “It’s no secret,” Carter said. “If somebody has drugs in their car, they’re not giving police consent to search their car.”

With the monetary donations and food donations from We Lov Pets, which donates food to police canines, the cost that would fall to the village would be a mere $250 a year for vet fees until the possible grants come through to cover.

Carter concluded by asking if the council would accept the donations and allow him to move forward by beginning classes in November.

A discussion ensued about creating an ordinance for a fee for villages outside of Cadiz to use the dog as well. It was agreed that an ordinance and more discussion were needed to determine how the council wanted to proceed. Since the classes are starting next month, the council went ahead and voted to allow Carter to begin the process of acquiring a police canine.

The council approved advertising for a new police officer for the Cadiz Police Department and discussed raising the wages of current and incoming officers. Wage increases will take place on the first of January, 2023. “We need to encourage people to vote for our levy,” Police and Finance Committee Chair Eric Miller said. “We need to explain to people that our crime rate will go up if we do not have a police department. If we vote for that levy, it will support our police department in many ways.” The council also discussed changing the incoming contract for an officer to serve a minimum of two years with the department, or the officer has to repay the village for training costs. The current contract stipulates an officer must serve for just one year to avoid those fees.

Kidd masters the delicate art of chainsaw carving

Gamble disposes of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu opponent in 2 minutes

BY BONNIE RUTLEDGE Publisher

SCIO—Many a wood carving displayed on porches and in yards around the area began in Dan Kidd’s imagination. He often works along Route 39 across from Dave’s Diner in Sherrodsville and can easily be heard carving at local festivals. Hailing from Scio, the founder of Conotton Creek Carvings provides a look behind the scenes of his unique craft. Kidd, thirty years a cabinet maker, was inspired by a single project to start making and selling art.

“I made a live edge table for a man who wanted a real rustic-looking base, so I used a chainsaw for that base—and that sparked an idea. I asked my wife to pick up some books at the library on chainsaw carving, and after six months of practice, I decided to make a go of it. The books just got me started. It was just a matter of getting the saw out and carving and not really worrying about how the early ones turned out. I would just pick up another log and do another one. I started selling them in Amish country. One year later, it became my full-time job.”

While Kidd worked tirelessly to hone his craft, he also relied on his innate artistic ability to carry him through the initial learning process. Being an art major in college, his original plan was to become a high school art teacher. His career path took some twists and turns but eventually led him to the most creative outlet in a career he could imagine.

“I’ve painted and drawn ever since junior high school. The cabinet making, well, there was creativity in that, but not the kind of freedom where things really come out of your own imagination instead of a set of plans.”

The scope of Kidd’s work is an unlimited variation of logs and tree stumps that can inform his design, giving him natural templates and characteristics to build from or a blank slate from which he can create virtually any custom request.

“There are two different approaches. If I have a really uniquely shaped log with branches or knots or twists, I may get an idea from the shapes provided. If the log is a typical straight column, then it’s a matter of visualizing the image and removing what is not part of the carving. A lot of people ask me if I have ever done any ice carving—no. Pretty much everything is logs or tree stumps.”

The first cuts are called step cuts, the large cuts that form rudimentary angles and determine the basic size of main features of any sculpture. From there, Kidd explains, “It’s kind of like working on a painting… It’s about making sure everything is proportioned out

first before moving on to the details because you don’t want to get well into the carving and realize something is too small. That can be a real problem. Only once the proportions are right can the work on the finer details bring out fur or facial features or whatever makes the carving come alive.”

Kidd certainly has a diverse portfolio of carvings after 9 years. He receives frequent requests for family pets, especially memorial carvings for those who have recently lost a dog or cat. But he doesn’t stop there—from bears and Indians to helicopters and tattoo guns, Kidd quips he still enjoys receiving unique requests. His largest carving, recently cut from a sevenfoot-wide tree, depicts a dove lightly landing near a hand. For reference, the thumbnail was larger than Kidd’s head. Passers-by can appreciate a larger-than-life Jesus standing at the door in the yard of Hanover church. One of Kidd’s tallest carvings, over 20 feet tall, stands at the Ourant schoolhouse and exhibits a giant schoolboy playing hide and seek with his head against the tree like he is counting. A ruler, apple, and pencil surround him in a classic grade school motif. Largest, however, isn’t always hardest, explains Kidd.

“Carving with a chainsaw starts getting hard as carvings become small. It takes much of my care to be very delicate with something tiny. I recently did some nativity sets where the figures were only five inches tall. The whole carving together was only ten inches tall and one foot across. My only tool is a chainsaw… but I do use a grinder to smooth certain surfaces. Everything is carved with the saw, but of course, the saw leaves a rough surface. Some things, like fur, I leave rough. Skin and eyeballs and lips call for the grinder, but ninety-five percent of the carvings I do with the chainsaw.”

As far as price goes, smaller carvings between two to four feet tall are in the $150 to $350 range. Stump carvings are usually $200 per foot. Of course, Kidd takes the variables into consideration. Carvings of equal size vary in price. Bears are common and only take a couple of hours to complete, while more complicated designs like human faces require more hours. The carvings can last a few decades if properly maintained, which means sealing them yearly. Kidd recommends using log home sealant; his favorite brand is Cabot Australian Timber Oil.

Kidd produces about 250 carvings per year, most of them custom pieces. His backlog of work in the fall is about six weeks out from the time an order is placed in preparation for Christmas, but Kidd completes orders in as little as three or four weeks through the rest of the year.

PITTSBURGH—Cody Gamble has now notched his mixed martial arts record with a first-round, two-minute submission against a highly regarded Brazilian Jujitsu fighter. To date, Gamble has fought in assorted MMA fighting styles, including boxing, all-out MMA, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Over his young career, he not only learned from the bouts but disposed of all but two of his opponents in a serious fashion. With Saturday’s “Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Super Bout” under his belt, Gamble will now holds his consolidated professional record of seven wins and two defeats.

Saturday’s fights were billed as “Fight to Win” and viewed on pay-per-view on Flo Grappling, one of the biggest stages in the World of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

No matter the style of his opponents, Gamble has managed to earn respect in every division of the MMA world. He particularly gains respect as he has ended the majority of his bouts in a brief time. In this five-minute per rounds bout, he burned only two of the expected 25 minutes and dispatched his opponent by applying an “Americana” submission. Gamble’s opponent for Saturday’s match was a highly regarded game fighter named Garrett Lyle. Lyle did his Brazilian training at Gracie Barra Gym. The name Gracie alone is enough to understand the caliber of Lyle’s preparation. Royce Gracie was a legend in the MMA world of fighting. Gracie built his reputation by disposing of opponents that were twice his size.

Saturday’s Jiu Jitsu bouts were held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at Station Square. Gamble is now two and zero in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style of MMA.

Board of Elections revises statewide ballot

BY BONNIE RUTLEDGE Publisher

CADIZ—Like every other county, the Harrison County Board of Elections revised its statewide ballot to reflect an additional candidate. November 8 is fast approaching, and the Ohio Supreme Court ruled in favor of Terpeshore “Tore” Maras, an outspoken podcaster, to be included in the running for secretary of state. Maras originally intended to run in the May primary as a Republican but did not include enough signatures in her petition to qualify. Despite a challenge from the GOP questioning the number of valid signatures required to run this November and the resulting counter lawsuits, Maras is listed on the ballot as an Independent along with incumbent Republican Frank LaRose and Democratic candidate Chelsea Clark. Dion Troiano, the county’s Director of Elections, explained to the board that the statewide ballot has officially been reprogrammed to include Maras, outlined in directive 2022-44 given to the board from the secretary of state.

The second directive reiterated the same

secure protocols made in response to the 2020 nationwide election snafu. The board discussed proper absentee ballot receptacles, a bipartisan collection of absentee ballots, and observers. Nobody in Harrison County has signed up to be an “observer,” a position that allows public observation and input into the election process. The Board of Elections feels this public participation helps ensure integrity and voter confidence in the electoral process but shelved the matter until someone showed interest in participating.

The last directive, 2022-46, dealt with inactive voter cancellation notices. These cancellation notices will be sent to any inactive four-year voters after November’s election.

If a voter has not participated in any election since 2019, the board will send a notice to the individual. If the voter should respond to the notice by updating their records, voting, or registering to vote in another county, the board will take no further action. However, pending no response from the voter, the board will remove them from the roll after two years (a total of six years of inactivity).

The board also stressed their need for poll

workers and toyed with the idea of increasing training payment as an incentive. Due to population rubrics mandated by the state, rural poll workers are paid slightly less than urban poll workers on election day. Training for workers is mandatory and compensated in addition to election day. Still, the board expressed concern over some individuals signing up for training, getting paid, and deciding not to follow through with their election-day duties. But the board heard no motion to increase training payment at the last meeting, and the discussion is ongoing.

“We get our funding based on how many people vote in our county and how many businesses pay taxes. A common comparison is Belmont County. So many ask why we don’t pay our poll workers as much as Belmont County. Cadiz is nowhere near St.Clairsville in terms of population or business ventures,” stressed Troiano. “Based on our [Harrison County’s] numbers, we are allowed to pay $133 max to our workers on election day, but we could increase our training amount if necessary.”

Lower bond rejected for West’s felony 2

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ—Gerald West appeared in court via video call from Jefferson County for a pretrial conference. West is charged with aggravated possession of drugs, a felony in the second degree, tampering with evidence, a felony in the third degree, and has been incarcerated for over a month already. He currently does not have legal representation but stated he had filled out the necessary paperwork to get a public defender. The court hasn’t received that paperwork and acknowledged that it is not West’s fault. West asked about reducing

his bond, but the court chose not to grant that request due to the nature of the charges against West. A felony in the second degree carries a prison sentence of 2-8 years. The time West has served so far will likely count toward his eventual sentence; however, this did not keep West from becoming agitated about how long he’s been in jail. Despite his attitude, Judge T. Shawn Hervey swore West in and asked the relevant questions for him to be appointed an attorney. West will still need to submit the form, but the court can now move forward to appoint an attorney. His bond remains set at $25,000. West swore multiple times and was almost removed from the room so other defendants could better carry on with their cases.

Teala Swanson also appeared via video call from Jefferson in two cases from Harrison County. In the first case, CRI 2020-0037, Swanson was charged with aggravated possession of drugs, a felony in the fifth degree. In the second case, CRI 2020-0057, she was accused of trespassing in a habitation, a felony in the fourth degree. Both cases needed bond addressed as the court hadn’t seen Swanson since December 2021. The state, represented by prosecuting attorney Lauren Knight, expressed concern that Swanson would disappear for another extended time and asked for a monetary bond for both cases. Swanson

claimed she’d been in the hospital and jail for the last two years, which was why she had failed to appear. When asked why she was in jail for so long, she stated she was unaware of charges from any other county and that the cases from Harrison County were why she was there. This didn’t make sense to the court since the warrant for her arrest was only served in September of this year. The court will look into the reasons for her incarceration. The bond for each case was set at $10,000 with a ten percent option.

Jewett resident Christopher Daniska appeared for a final pretrial and motion hearing, represented by Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola. Daniska is currently incarcerated at the Jefferson County Justice Center for three counts of having a weapon under disability, all felonies in the third degree, three counts of aggravated trafficking in drugs, felonies in the third and fourth degrees, and two counts of nonsupport of dependents, felonies in the fifth degree. Daniska’s mother wrote a letter to the court asking for a new attorney. Pincola said he wasn’t aware of any reason to step aside but would, if needed. Daniska insisted he could not communicate with Pincola well enough for them to continue the case together. The court is allowing the change of attorney and will appoint a new defender for Daniska as soon as someone is available.

The kids seem to be having fun.” She said she had a lot of help to put on the day of fun, especially from her sister-in-law Crystal Carpenter and the heritage days committee, “It’s a joint effort,” Brokaw said. The winner of the cookoff was announced in the afternoon.

Joe Manbeck, the local fire chief, and

Paige Everly, an EMT, had entered together and won $150 cash.

Church celebrates 200 years

BY DEB MILLIGAN Correspondent

FREEPORT—The Freeport Presbyterian Church celebrated its 200th birthday on Sunday, September 25. Several members of the congregation participated in the program. Jeff & Lori Miller portrayed the early Quaker founders of Freeport, and Roger and Gladys Dunlap represented people of the early 1800s, with Sharon

Gump conducting interviews. Kathy Gindlesperger and Patsy Anderson talked about the history of the church.

Shirley Wells portrayed Mrs. Conrad, the wife of the church's longest-serving pastor, Rev. Russ Conrad. Jennifer Romanski conducted the interview.

Several members of the congregation shared fond memories of Rev. & Mrs. Conrad. Thanks to Jane Hughes for her help in preparing the program.

Previous pastors present were David

Bartley and Jim McConnell, who reflected on their call to the church.

A letter was read from Karen (Jones) Kelly, who wrote about her service to the church.

All pastors, leaders, and others were asked to stand while Jim McConnell sang the especially meaningful song "We Are Standing on Holy Ground." Current Pastor David Bryan shared his calling and concluded the service with worship based on "Hold Ground."

Tri-County Help Center combats domestic violence

ST. CLAIRSVILLE—Each year, in October, advocates, survivors, and supporters recognize October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM).

This October, Tri-County Help Center, Inc. (TCHC) is partnering with the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) and other state and territorial coalitions across the nation to start a coordinated national conversation about domestic violence and how we can all contribute to changing the narrative on this overshadowed, but fundamental topic.

More prevalent than most realize, one in four women and one in seven men will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. Too often, we look for a black eye or a broken nose on a woman to identify domestic violence. Anyone, regardless of gender, race, sexual identity, orientation, or socio-economic status, can be a victim

of domestic violence. Domestic violence is more than physical abuse; it is the sexual, verbal, psychological, emotional, social, and financial abuse perpetrators use through power and control tactics over their victims. This year’s campaign theme, #Every1KnowsSome1, strives to highlight how common domestic violence is and that it is more than physical violence.

TCHC has been a leader in education, advocacy, and support services in Belmont, Harrison, and Monroe counties for domestic violence victims and their families for over four decades.

TCHC provides counseling for any individual with a mental health need and offers counseling free to victims unable to pay. Legal advocates are available to help victims navigate the complex court system, help file protection orders or police reports, and refer victims to other helping programs.

Also available is 24-hour hospital accompaniment provided by advocates, a 24-hour crisis hotline, and TCHC’s emergency, safe shelter for victims and their families.

Throughout October, Tri-County Help Center, Inc. will be sharing content on its social media channels to help raise awareness and educate the public on the complex dynamics of domestic violence. A week of action is planned for October 17 – 22, 2022, designed to engage advocates, partners, and the public in starting a national conversation. More information can be found at www.TriCountyHelp.org and on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/ tricountyhelpcenter.

Free and confidential help is available 24/7 for individuals experiencing domestic violence. Those seeking help may contact the Tri-County Help Center at (740) 695-5441.

Fairboard hears from new Demo Derby company

BY ALEXIS CORDER Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

CADIZ—Harrison County Fairboard members met on Monday, October 3rd, for their monthly meeting. New officers for the 2022-2023 year assumed their positions at the meeting, with Richard Eberhart taking over the role of president. Eberhart started the meeting by introducing guests from the Full Send Demolition Derby company.

The gentlemen from Full Send handed out promotional pamphlets and talked to the board about a potential contract to let them put on the demolition derby at the 2023 county fair. Though they are a relatively new company–with this past year being their first year in operation producing demolition derbies–they made it clear that they have already gained a loyal and large following. The company offers all the standard derby classes you see at most demo derby events. In addition

to youth compact classes, they are also considering adding a powder puff division for next year’s shows if they get enough interest. Furthermore, what makes them unique is that they focus heavily on crowd involvement and entertainment throughout the show. They produce their shows with no downtime between derby classes. They pass out t-shirts, play games with the crowd, and ensure everyone in attendance is entertained from the very beginning of the show until the very end.

The fairboard was not ready to decide whether or not they would enter into a contract with the company. Still, they told the company that they would consider them seriously when making their decisions for next year’s fair.

In other news, the OSU Extension Office and Sale Committee both discussed their interest in potentially selling still projects at the fair in the future, starting as soon as 2024. In the past, only livestock projects have had the

opportunity to be sold at the Harrison County Fair; selling still projects would create an excellent opportunity for the youth in 4-H and FFA, especially those that only participate in still projects. No final decisions were made, as it was decided that the idea needed further discussion.

Additionally, the board has devised an idea to try to fix the electric overload problem at the fair. The fairboard has noticed a steady increase in electric usage for the past couple of years from the campers and RVs hooked up during fair week, and this past year, the electric load was too much for the fairground’s amps to handle. To solve this issue, the board decided to add another 200 amp service for the bottom half of the camping area, hopefully eliminating–or at least helping to alleviate–the overload issue.

The fairboard’s next meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 7.

COVID levels drop once again

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

CADIZ—Harrison County COVID community levels are low again, following the late-summer spike in positive cases that had the county in the red zone on the CDC’s community-level map. The numbers spiked the highest in late August, with 17 positive cases reported on August 30 and 17 more on August 31. Then in the first week of September, the county reported five residents hospitalized with COVID, with the hospitalizations following the spike in positive cases. The county had three reported COVID-related deaths in August and one in September.

“We are through that now,” said Health Administrator Garen Rhome. “Two weeks ago, we were in the yellow, but last week we went back to green–a lower level of spread.”

These lower numbers are in keeping with the present state-wide trend of lower numbers. There are presently no high-level counties in Ohio. And with the exception of Guernsey County, which is still yellow, the counties surrounding Harrison are all green.

“The whole area went through a September spike,” said Rhome. He also noted that the health department has, several times, seen the increase in numbers move from east to west. “You can see it roll from New York to Ohio.”

Though reduced community burden is good news, especially for those who are older or immunocompromised, it’s still recommended

that people take such precautions as staying up to date on vaccines. Those who have symptoms should seek a test and wear a mask. “Anyone can choose to wear a mask any time,” Rhome added.

As well as protecting themselves against COVID-19, residents should also take precautions going into flu season by seeking flu shots. October, Rhome said, is the best time to do this. “You can call the health department or talk to your doctor or pharmacist, and they’ll get you set with a flu shot.”

Lyme disease also remains a risk, especially for those with a more outdoor lifestyle. While Harrison County did not see the kind of significant July spike the county had experienced the previous five years, what happened instead was a kind of plateau: record numbers were reported in May and June, but the numbers went neither up nor down in the months following.

“It will be interesting to see if it continues,” said Rhome. “Remember, the black-legged deer tick that causes and carries Lyme is not seasonal; the adults and the nymphs can be active any time of year when temperatures are above freezing.”

Hunters or others spending a lot of time outdoors should remember to check for ticks. If you have found a tick, look for such Lyme symptoms as joint ache, fever, or chills. “If you have these symptoms, don’t just chalk it up to nothing and try to move on. If you are an outdoor person or have outdoor pets, consider that the symptoms may be Lyme even if you did not see the tick.”

You can also protect yourself from Lyme by using an insect repellant marketed for ticks. One of the most effective tick repellents is permethrin, a synthetic version of a plantbased pesticide derived from chrysanthemums. Permethrin-based sprays can be applied to your clothing, shoes, and outdoor gear. It will usually last through washings. Be sure to use the spray as directed.

LOOK AT THE PAST

N.W. corner of Cadiz’s town square circa the late 1880s

By Susan Adams

The same drawing is in the 1875 Caldwell Atlas but has different storefronts. The Harrison National Bank (they built the new building on the opposite corner in the late 1990s) is where the F & M Bank is on the

corner. The Farmers & Mechanics Bank is where C.E. Brown is listed. To the far left, where there was an arch in 1875, was the M. Brilles Grocery. Next to that arch headed toward Main Street was the B.H. Linton Dry Goods Store. The second floor in 1875 is listed as M.J. Brown’s Block. There would have been various offices on the second floor. (When the General Custer Hotel was built, the Cadiz Republican was on the second floor.) The third floor was added in about 1873 solely for the Masonic order. In this picture, the building to the right is the “New Arcade House.” In the 1875 atlas, it was the Central Hotel. The Arcade House was torn down about 1920, and the new General Custer Hotel and Long Theater were built. Today this is an empty lot. These buildings had to have been an impressive sight to folks traveling through Cadiz on U.S. Route 250, U.S. Route 22, S.R. 36, and S.R. 9. Cadiz was a busy place during this time period.

The passenger, George Matheson, age 40, of 302 3RD Street, Amsterdam, Ohio, was pronounced dead at the scene. Neither occupant was wearing a safety belt at the time of the crash. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash. The crash remains under investigation at this time.

New Athens passes billing ordinance

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

NEW ATHENS—The New Athens

Council quickly approved minutes for last month’s meeting and made sure to pay the bills before moving on to the village administrator report from Tosha Giesey. She said she didn’t “have a whole lot” to say, but “I sent out some shut-off notices; obviously, our top three are frequent flyers.” There were a couple of higher bills on the list, but one was a final bill that had come back once already due to a problem with the address.

The road work near the village administration building on route 519 is going well. “You can see what’s going on; they’re making progress,” said Mayor Joe Petro. A short discussion ensued over whether or not

the sidewalks would be replaced or added to. The project was to widen the intersection so that the large trucks commonly using the route wouldn’t constantly damage the corner. “These guys are doing pretty good work,” Council President Mark Arnold said.

The council held the third reading for an ordinance amendment. Village Solicitor Travis Collins read, “Ordinance amending 5-6-14, section 2E2 under billing procedures, to permit water and sewer bills to be sent to lessees and to make the owner of the leased premises responsible for all water and sewer service charges and late fees.”

Giesey asked if she needed to send a copy of the ordinance to all owners and renters in the village. Petro suggested that would be a good idea, “I think it would be wise to send it out so that we have made them aware.”

Good

That

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

Every October, it rolls around. It gets celebrated in some places more than others. It’s offensive to some but not to others. It’s that particular month and day that some look forward to and some dread. Of course, I’m speaking of pastor appreciation month/day. What, you were thinking of something else? Somehow or other, someone or some organization designated October as the month to recognize pastors. It is a nice gesture and very appreciated, but one thing is certain; there isn’t any meaningful thing that a pastor can do if he doesn’t have a quality team of coworkers alongside. The apostle Paul was quite passionate about naming all of those who labored with him to spread the gospel.

Romans 16 is one of Paul’s namedropping sessions and a section of Scripture that most people skip over. The whole chapter is dedicated to thanking and encouraging his and the Lord’s co-laborers. Paul was well-connected. He thanked the city treasurer, Zenas, his lawyer friend, and in Philippians, thanked those in Caesar’s household, among many others from all walks of life. That’s how churches today can reach their communities for Jesus,

having believing members from every corner of life working alongside their pastor and leadership team. One minister working alone cannot get the job done. It takes a team of co-laborers to take the gospel to the community. One of the things that has always impressed me about Paul was that he never referred to those he was thanking as his interns, underlings, or trainees. He always elevated their status to co-laborers. Even though Paul had received the revelation of the mystery of the gospel, wrote almost half of the New Testament, and had been taken up to the third heaven, he treated all who worked with him equally. Even Timothy, who was much younger than Paul and new to the ministry, was called a co-laborer. Paul wrote to the Ephesians that a minister’s responsibility was to spiritually equip God’s people so that the people themselves could do the work of the ministry and grow the church, the body of Christ. Paul later wrote to Titus, “Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.” That missional statement would make a great plaque to be displayed at every church’s entrance. So, as you appreciate your pastor this month, take a look around and equally appreciate your fellow co-laborers who make the growth of Christ’s church possible.

CLERGY APPRECIATION NOTE: The New Rumley Global Methodist Church is blessed to have Rev. Mick Foster as our pastor. He is knowledgeable about the Scriptures and motivates us to study them more. Pastor Mick was raised in the Scio area and, with his wife, Becky, has been in full-time ministry for the past 30+ years. We are thankful he has returned home to minister to us since his retirement. Come and visit; you will be blessed!

SHERIFF REPORTS

10/5 – A semi-truck and trailer went off Jockey Hollow Rd. The truck was leaving a well pad when his air brakes failed. It went down the hill, crossing the road, before striking a hill on the other side and ending up in a field.

10/8 – A deputy spoke with a woman reporting a domestic incident at the hospital. The woman claimed her mother had hit her in the head with a trash can lid three nights ago. She had made a report at the time but said she didn’t tell the deputy everything because she couldn’t remember all the details at the time. She said she was knocked unconscious and when she came to, her mother was pulling her hair and digging her nails into her face. She got away from her mother and spent the rest of the night in her room. When asked how she had suddenly remembered all these details she said she woke up the next day and “noticed sore spots on [her] head and had neck pain.” There were no observable injuries on the woman but the deputy took pictures for documentation.

10/11 – A woman came to the office to report that her mother had been stealing royalty checks for over a year. The woman left before a deputy arrived back to speak with her so contact was made over the phone. The deputy asked why it had taken so long for her to make the report and the woman responded, “well her and I are fighting over property now so.” She claimed that her mother had also stolen her bank account information and had been paying bills from her account. The woman did not know how much money she had lost and the deputy could not reach the mother.

CADIZ POLICE REPORTS

10/7 – A single-car accident happened on E Market st. The driver was traveling south when they veered off the right side of the road, striking a telephone pole. The car went over an embankment, landing on all four tires.

10/9 – Police responded to a call about an assault involving a knife at a gas station. The alleged victim said that a brief stand-off between vehicles coming into and leaving the lot turned into an argument where he was almost stabbed. He had been trying to let another vehicle in but when the other vehicle didn’t move. When he chose to move, the other driver rolled down their window and started yelling obscenities. The victim drove around and got out of his vehicle to confront the other driver. He said he went up to the driver and the driver’s wife, asking why the driver was so angry. The driver became agitated and came toward him with a knife, which he deflected. The driver and wife left but returned a little later to see if the police had been called. The officer reviewed security footage at the scene. The footage showed the stand-off and the alleged victim aggressively approaching the other driver before a brief pushing match between them. It appeared that the victim spit on the driver, then turned to approach the wife who then spat on him. There never seemed to be a knife during the altercation. The prosecutor’s office will also review.

HC soccer fights for their win

BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

CADIZ—The Harrison Central boys’ soccer team played at home on Thursday, taking on the Sandy Valley Cardinals. Seniors were honored and joined by their families for the walk across the field.

“It was a hard-fought win. Everyone that was here got to play. It was a great senior night. The boys had fun. We were a little disappointed that they (the Cardinals} scored a goal, but they have four more opportunities to get that last clean sheet they need to be record holders. We set a few records tonight. Most goals for a sophomore is a tied record for Kaden Dunkle.

Jace is an outright assist leader. Lorenzo is up there for the most goals in a season. It was a good night for the Huskies,” stated Coach Derek Gramling. Final score: HC 5 Sandy Valley 1.

At Wagner field on Tuesday against the Beaver Local Beavers, Harrison Central boys gave up a goal early but fought back, with Jace Madzia hitting the net to tie the game. The Beavers scored once more in the second half with a penalty kick. Jadis Yoho had an outstanding game with 30 saves.

“It was a heck of a game. Jadis played wonderfully at goal. Everyone played so well. Even when we had kids come off injured, kids with not as many minutes went in and played well. People thought Beaver would come in here and put us to the sword. So we did ourselves credit tonight.

The Husky boys traveled to Tusky Valley on Thursday and will play at Jackson Milton High School on Monday. “If we play like we played tonight, I’m confident we can go up there and get a good result,” Gramling said.

Edison tops Harrison to remain undefeated

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

RICHMOND – It’s been a long time coming for the Edison Wildcats. The Huskies have owned the overall matchup, entering last Friday’s contest with a 12-1 all-time series lead against the Cats. But, it’s time to make that number 12-2. After eight consecutive Harrison victories, the pendulum finally swung the other direction. The Wildcats (8-0) continued their quest for an undefeated season with a 4914 “thriller-turned-snoozer” over the visiting Huskies (4-4).

With a final score like that, it may be hard to believe that the Huskies held a 14-12 advantage after the first quarter. However, the Wildcats scored quickly in the second quarter and never looked back.

“We had some breaks go our way early in the game and got out ahead of them which we knew was important. We wanted to put them a couple scores behind us if we could because we knew how fast that they could score. They have been notorious for starting slow this year, and then ramping it up in the second half,

ultimately pulling away from opponents,” stated Head Coach Anthony Hayes.

Harrison took the lead when Hayden Cassidy connected with Parker Hutton on a seven yard strike that Hutton finished with a dive past the pylon. Senior placekicker Jace Madzia added the PAT to give the Huskies a 7-6 lead. To set the table for Harrison’s opening score, freshman Nico Wurschum returned a kickoff 73-yards to the give the Huskies offense an extremely short field. With a big return, and a quick score to take the lead it had appeared that the Huskies were springing free of their two week slump. The early mistakes continued for the Wildcats, and the Huskies were primed to take advantage. After Harrison took the 7-6 lead, the ensuing Wildcat drive ended with an errant snap that the Huskies recovered inside the five yard line. A one-play scoring drive consisted of a two-yard Mykel Quito touchdown dive. Madzia was true through the uprights, and with 5:43 remaining in the opening quarter, the Huskies led 14-6.

“We weren’t able to maintain the lead we built in the early going. They played as well as I have seen them play. Credit to them,” Hayes declared.

The Wildcats scored 16 unanswered second quarter points to take a 28-14 lead into the break. That lead would compound in the third, as the Wildcats posted another 14 unanswered. The rest was history. The Wildcats were physical in the trenches, on the perimeter and everywhere in between, outgaining the Huskies in offensive yardage 540-79. In the process, the Wildcats offense ran twice as many plays (64 snaps versus 33 snaps) , as the Huskies offense couldn’t sustain drives to stay on the field.

“Two things. First, we need to get healthy. Second, we need to be better. We knew that this would be a tough three game stretch for us. St Clairsville, who is sitting at #2 in their region behind Steubenville. Beaver Local who is at 5th, and Edison who is at 5th. That’s a tough stretch,” Hayes reflected while considering the brutal past three weeks.

The Huskies are still clinging to life in Region 17, while those three schools are firmly in the top five of their respective regions (Edison also in 17), the Huskies are now 13th.

“Nevertheless, we play ten games for a reason. So far as I can tell, we have only played eight. That means we have days to get better and games yet to play,” Hayes concluded.

Three sets down to Ferry, Toronto

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

MARTINS FERRY—After gaining ground with a couple of wins, the Harrison Central varsity volleyball team fell in the 3-consecutive sets at Martins Ferry during OVAC Semi Final action. The Huskies lost to their host by scores of 23(HC)-25(MF), 18(HC)-25(MF), and 18(HC)-25(MF).

Tuesday evening, the Huskies were in

Dover for OVAC semi-final action. It only took the Lady Quakers three sets to dismiss the Huskies. The scores from that match were 5-25, 16-25, and 12-25. The statistical leaders for Harrison Central were Nadia Tweedy with three kills, Olivia Tonkovich with nine assists, Maddy Butler with 12 digs, Olivia Tonkovich with four points, and Nadia Tweedy with one block.

SMITHFIELD

By Esther McCoy

A final goodbye dinner was held at Scaffidi’s Restaurant & Tavern for the untimely death of my sister, Dorothy McHugh Toth, on October 9. There was a nice turnout of relatives and friends present to show their respect for someone who did not make it through heart surgery. She will be missed by her granddaughters, Nola and Lucy, who lived with their grandmother in the McHugh home. I want to thank Susan Adams and Mary Catherine Mull for mentioning my sister’s untimely death in their columns. It is nice to know that people care.

Dorothy’s sons: Andy Jr., Brian, Tom, and Kerry, were present with their wives and children, and many of her working friends from Carriage Inn were present. They filled a complete table. So goodbye to a great sister. May she rest in peace and feel no more pain

Please say a prayer for Lamont’s twin brother, Larry, who has suffered from health problems for over a year. He is at the Carriage Inn in Hopedale. I am so proud of his sons, Greig and Mark; brother, Buddy; and my husband, Lamont, for their visits to see their brother many days of the week. Please say a prayer for Larry. He has gone through so much pain and problems.

I want to thank the Smithfield High School graduating class, where my sister graduated as a salutatorian, for sending a beautiful vase of flowers in the school colors of gold and black to the dinner. They even had her graduation picture incorporated into the arrangement.

Lamont and I went to Plain City to see our youngest grandchild, Maggie Elizabeth, play in a soccer game they won. That game sure involves lots of running and kicking. Maggie, the youngest of our grandchildren, is quite a sportsperson. And then we have her brother, Jackson, who is more into history and geography, where he has won several geography bees over the years. He graduates this year, and it is hard to believe that time has gone by so fast. He taught himself how to play the tuba so he could go with the band; he was that determined.

I want to mention a planned tribute to the deceased Sheriff Fred Abdalla. Barry Bardone has gone to great lengths to make this a wonderful program. There will be 14 from the Fort Friendship attending.

Can I ask that you say a prayer for John Oliver, who was pastor of the Mount Moriah Church until last year? He has been staged with non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. The family trusts in God to watch over him. “Our time is in His hands,” was noted by the family. He was such a great pastor of the church and filled in for other churches after his retirement from the church near Friendship Park.

Until next week, I am closing off and know that the week will be in God’s hands.

Trick or treat for the Village of Hopedale will be held on Monday, October 31, from 4-6 p.m. Make sure that costumes are not too long or tight and masks do not make it hard to see out of when walking. Younger kids should be with a responsible adult, wear something reflective or have a flashlight if they are out after dark, and watch traffic. I know it’s tempting to sneak some candy right away, but please remember to have an adult check all your candy before eating. And count how many pieces you have, so you know if your parents sneak any!
