Airport Harrison Co. Hospital receives needs more EMS federal foster homes stopping funding back-up service

BY REBECCA BRATTEN-WEISS Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer CADIZ—A repair and renovation project at the Harrison County Airport that has been in the works for about three years is now underway and, according to airport manager Darin Leas, is “going pretty good for a change.”

The project has several phases. The first phase entailed installing a new fuel system, moving the water line, and putting in a new sewer. This phase was completed last year, so the airport is presently in the second phase of the project, which involves upgrading the road going into the airport. Next year they expect to complete the final phase, moving the taxiway and extending it to the full length of the runway, which will improve both the safety and the practicality of the airport.

These repairs and upgrades are mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration. They are funded federally by both the FAA and the Department of Transportation and have a price tag of nearly 2 million. “According to the FAA, it needed to be done,” said Leas. “They always decide what needs to be done to keep us in compliance.”

The county airport, which is owned by the Harrison County Airport Authority, is small, covering about 8 acres, and with only one runway. It serves mostly privately-owned recreational aircraft and functions as a base for powerline and pipeline operations, flight training, and drug enforcement flights. The Hopedale Mining Company also relies on the airport for some of its procedures. Occasionally, the military makes use of the airport as well.

Leas said that approximately 30 planes are stored at the airport regularly. How often the facility is used, however, depends largely on the weather. “If the weather is good, someone is flying every day, but it will slow down now for the winter.”

Originally, the airport was built for the use of the Hanna Coal Company in the 1960s and then sold to the county for a dollar. Leas explained that the governor at the time, Jim Rhodes, wanted to have an airport put in every county in Ohio.

Right now, the repair project is not anticipated to have much effect on the comings and goings of Harrison County residents. Located as it is adjacent to Industrial Park, the facility is out of the way enough so that construction should not interfere with ordinary driving or other operations. However, those who use the airport should be aware that it will likely be shut down for about a month in spring 2023, though Leas was not yet sure about exact dates. “They’re trying to keep it to a minimum,” he said.

The last time the airport had repairs done was about six years ago when they put in the new runway. And Leas hopes that once these upgrades are complete, the airport won’t need any more repairs or renovations for a few years.

CADIZ—The Harrison County Department of Job and Family Services (HCDJFS) has only two licensed foster homes in Harrison County. Despite the office being fully staffed, there is always a need for foster homes. The process of becoming a foster home seems intimidating when first seeing the list of paperwork, inspections, and classes. Still, Social Services Supervisor Kathryn Caldwell says it’s not overwhelming once you get started.

“It’s a long list of stuff,” she said. “I break it into three phases. Phase one is going to be the application and packet [of paperwork].

Phase two, I’ll give them a little bit more and go see the house. Phase three is a little more paperwork and probably go see the house again.”

There are currently three homes working through the process of becoming licensed foster homes, and there are four who recently received the first packets.

Additionally, several homes are going through the process of kinship care, which is when a relative is seeking to adopt a child within their own family.

When asked how many foster homes would be needed in Harrison County, Caldwell said, “As many as we can get!”

HCDJFS has over 30 children in their care right now, and most have to be sent out of the county for placement. The difficulties of being out of the county can be numerous for a child. “When you leave the county, you’re enrolled in the new county’s school, new medical providers, new counselors if they’re in counseling. It’s a lot.”

HCDJFS Director Deb Knight said they’ve had children placed as far north as Cleveland and as far west as Columbus. The huge geographical range makes it difficult not only for the child to enter a completely new environment, but the HCDJFS is not

relieved of the responsibility to visit the child and give them the necessary attention and care. This can take a great deal of time, a full day or more, to contact one person.

With a great need for foster homes in the county, Caldwell shared why she thinks more residents are not open to it, “I think there’s a stigma of being a foster parent, and the fact that we do live in such a small county, everyone knows everybody’s business,” she said.

Director Deb Knight also shared her thoughts on why people may not be open to fostering, “One thing I think is probably an issue with foster parents is that a lot of our kids come from difficult circumstances, and they might not be the easiest to foster.

I think that may turn off some of the people who want to foster.” She added that fostering is a very rewarding endeavor for many families. “We do the best we can to support the foster parents; we get the kids in counseling, and there’s a possibility of in-home behavior therapy for the kids. It is very rewarding, but it’s not an easy job. If it were any easy job, then everybody would do it.”

The role of fostering is important to the community. Providing a safe place for children going through difficult times is necessary and will impact them for the rest of their lives. Even teachers and coaches could provide licensed foster homes.

Caldwell said her dream goal is to have six licensed foster homes in the county by 2023. While it doesn’t sound like a lofty goal considering how many kids are currently in care, this would triple the number of homes available, allowing more kids to stay in the county, in their own schools, and with their healthcare providers. Also, it would give them a familiar environment while dealing with difficult circumstances.

If you’re interested in becoming a licensed foster home and helping children in need, please call Kathryn Caldwell at 740-942-6030 for more information.

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ—State Representative Don Jones came to Harrison Community Hospital (HCH) on October 20 to talk about EMS and fire service. The meeting opened with introductions by representatives from across the county as well as county commissioners. Hospital CEO Dave Philips began by sharing why the meeting was happening, “Representative Jones and I had a recent conversation about what’s going on in healthcare. We got into the topic of EMS and what the future holds. That led to a lot of questions we couldn’t answer.”

Several issues are boiling to the surface in Harrison County. One is that HCH has expressed they may not be renewing their EMS contract in 2023. Currently, HCH provides a backup ambulance service to the entirety of the county. When EMS ambulances are not available to respond to emergency calls or when they need additional help, the ambulance from HCH is called. This service is separate from the Silver Spade Joint Ambulance District (SSJA).

The SSJA provides additional coverage to the most populated areas of Harrison County, while the HCH is for backup service only. The contract between HCH and the county expires in April of next year.

Philips talked about the contract from the perspective of HCH, “When we first formed the unit here, there was an obvious need. Over time that need has changed. As there has been a decline in volunteers and an increase in paid squads, the number of calls we cover has gone down fairly substantially in the last few years. Part of that is [due to] changes in the environment, and part of that is because of staffing; we’re dealing with staffing issues just like everyone else.” He went on to explain the situation from a financial perspective, “Even with county subsidy, we’re to the point at the hospital that we lose six figures on providing the service. So from our standpoint, we do not want to leave the county without service, but under the current structure and the current way we’re running, it doesn’t make business sense for us to continue to do 911 service.” He said that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t consider renewing the contract, but as of now, it doesn’t make financial sense to maintain the contract.

The second problem is low volunteer rates among EMS and fire service. “This is not a problem that’s isolated to Harrison County,” Jones said. “This is a problem that spans the state of EMS See Pg.- 2

New cabins open at Tappan Lake

Saturday, October 29, 2022

Fortuitous veterinarian continues to grow practice in Harrison County

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

Tappan Lake has new cabins! The ribbon cutting and open house took place on October 22, with many visitors, some even from out of state, showing up for the occasion. Co-owner of Tappan Lakeside Resort Lawton Brock said there has already been a great response from the public. “To be able to complete something at this scale in about a year, I’m just proud of everyone involved. We made a dream come true,” said Brock. There are now 16 cabins along the lake, giving guests plenty of options for year-round trips. Reservations for the cabins will be available soon!

Ohio. This is probably going to be the first of several meetings as we move forward.”

He continued, “So I’ve come up with some questions to start the conversation. We’re not here to nitpick; we’re here to find a solution.” He mentioned he’s heard from several 911 operators that they will send out a call over and over, and no volunteers will respond. He asked if there was a plan for EMS in 2023, and the response was silence. “With where we are, this meeting needs to happen now so we figure out where we need to go.” Jones continued. “I think we’ve got to get the cards laid out on the table for the residents of Harrison County to know that whenever they dial 911, somebody is going to respond.”

While no major decisions were made at the meeting, Jones stressed that the idea was to get a conversation started. Several attendees said they would be speaking with their township trustees about options moving forward.

Harrison Central Elementary fourth-grade students created projects featuring Native American tribes. Their teacher, Mr. Bengier, does this project every year and says students really enjoy it. Requirements for the displays include a home, a fire source, a garden or crop, a tool, and a natural water source. Projects are completed at home over a few weeks while students learn about Native Americans in class time.Photographed is Kamree Kelley. She said, her favorite part of the project was “Spending time with my family making it.”

BY ESTHER MCCOY Harrison News-Herald Correspondent SMITHFIELD—Two wooden doors showing wear on the Smithfield Christian Church at 145 Main Street have now been exchanged for lustrous, heavy wood. Judie Phillippi, Lamont McCoy, and Manuel "Butch" Garcia were overseers of the work.

A history of the older Christian churches in the Jefferson County area shows that Thomas Campbell started the Smithfield Christian Church in 1831. He gathered the first congregation in a log barn on the Daugherty Farm on Salt Run, and parishioners met there for about five years.

The congregation moved in 1836 to a Smithfield school building until 1838.

They moved to a brick building on the present location at the cost of $1,000, with construction oversight by John C. Phipps, with John Gill doing a considerable amount of the work. Contributions of $100 each for the construction of the church were made by John Phipps, David Carson, William Scott, and

Pendleton is incredible. “Everyone here is so professional, and they care for our animal as if it’s their own. They’re so caring. They knew how upset I was about bringing my older dog in, and they were so kind.”

With a love for animals and his community, Pendleton said the best part of veterinary medicine is that “you can learn something new every day.” He worked on large animals for 27 of his 30 years and said that Harrison County has been good to him and his family. “I just know everybody. They say I talk too much when I go into office hours, but I like to ask, ‘how are your kids doing? How’s your mom doing?’ you know. These kids who were five years old are now bringing in their kids who are 15 years old.”

He wanted to be clear that he has no intention of retiring anytime soon and is currently looking for another veterinarian to add to his practice. He expects to continue serving Harrison County for many years to come.

HOPEDALE—Dr. Scott Pendleton has been practicing veterinary medicine for over 30 years. He’s had his new building in Hopedale for three years. At his old building in Cadiz, he had six employees but currently employs over 20, with two other veterinarians on site: Dr. Samantha Borsos and Dr. Aimee Clay.

Pendleton grew up on a farm near Bloomingdale, which his brother now owns.

He got his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Ohio State University. “I’m an accidental veterinarian,” he laughed. “I had work study in undergrad and got a job at the veterinary school. I worked out there, and they said, ‘you really should apply to vet school.’ At the time, I had planned on getting a degree in entomology.

So I got into grad and vet school the same day.”

When he went to college, he did a research project in the Dominican Republic on ticks and had always planned to go to grad school after graduation. He applied for the Peace Corps, but when the Gulf War broke out, it upset his plans, and he became a “regular old veterinarian.”

Despite the accidental nature of his career path, Pendleton loves his work and community.

“I’m old enough that I could think about retiring, but I’m one of the few guys who gets to do a job he absolutely loves.” He said he likes being a business owner. Heritage Veterinary was started in 1905, and Pendleton is the fourth veterinarian to own it. “It’s one of the older clinics in the state,” he said.

Pendleton wishes the community understood how expensive the veterinary medicine business is. Many medical supplies cost well into the thousands, and His X-Ray machine was $60,000. “It is expensive to do what we do,” he said. “Even the thing we use to look in [your pet’s] eye in the office is $2,000.

I would like everyone to know it’s expensive to do good quality medicine.”

“We’re not out to rob anyone,” Borsos added. “We’re trying to do what’s best for the animal.”

“We offer a spectrum of care,” Pendleton continued. “That just realizes that some people cannot afford the gold standard; that’s all there is to it… offering people what they can afford.”

But he added that his primary responsibility is to the patient.

A long-time client, Jennifer Romanski, said of Pendleton, “He treats our dog as though it was his own dog… His compassion, because for us, he knows our name. I think he’s a wonderful person. We’ll follow him wherever he goes.” She said every employee under

Joshua Carle. Membership was recorded at 19 men and 36 women, with a monthly meeting.

With no baptistry in the church, the ordinance of baptism was generally held in McIntrye's Creek, about 2 miles from the church. Sunday school started in 1867 with James P. Hopkins as superintendent.

The present building was erected in 1893 as the congregation outgrew the brick building.

The building, still standing to this day, remains much the same in appearance as when it was built by E.B. Johnson, a contractor and church member, with dedication on March 14, 1954. Co-chairmen were James Nightingale and William Core, with work being completed by members and friends of the church. Other changes included a 1959 Hammond Organ, played by Carol Ann Garcia, along with the aisles and front of the church being carpeted the same year.

In 1974, a speaker system was added, and in 1977, the addition of paintings completed by a renowned member, Lois Burkett Greenwallt, were hung on the church walls. The paintings are no longer there. In 1980 new sidewalks

were installed. Another Burkett tribute was that of Frieda Burkett, who was a Sunday school teacher, pianist, and choir member.

The first deacons were William M. White, H.M. Sanborn, John T. Daugherty, G.W. Purviance, and Alvin Walker. First elders were Joshua Carle, David Carson, William Scott, Thomas Carr, Francis Bell, and James F. Hopkins.

Student ministers at Bethany College served the church for several years, contributing to its growth. Serving and contributing to spiritual growth were Dale Fires, who first preached at the church; Virgin Elliott, former president of Milligan College; and Robert Sandercox, vice president and provost for college advancement at Bethany College.

There is a kitchen, restroom, social room, and classrooms now. But with the scarcity of children, there is no Sunday school. A lunch was recently held there on October 16, with ladies of the church setting up the tables and decorations, along with the covered dishes. The new doors now welcome parishioners to come inside.

Defendant missing for year and a half insists he has ‘no problem’ getting to court

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ—Jefferey Hunter appeared in court Tuesday via video call from Mahoning County Jail. Hunter allegedly violated his community-based controls, which he was on for a 2018 case involving burglary and grand theft. He was picked up on a warrant in late September. The adult probation office has no record of Hunter checking in with them since April 2021. The state, represented by prosecuting attorney Lauren Knight, requested a monetary bond due to concern that Hunter might disappear

again. Hunter claimed that the last time he made bond, he had appeared in court as necessary, “I have no problem appearing this time,” he insisted.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey set Hunter’s bond at $40,000. “Bond’s primary purpose is that you come when told,” Hervey said. He then reminded Hunter that if he did make bond, he would still be subject to all the rules and requirements of his communitybased controls. The matter was set for an evidentiary hearing in a few weeks.

Leonard Wirth was previously seen by the court on September 27, 2022. At that time, he was arraigned on charges of aggravated possession of drugs, a felony in

the fifth degree, littering, a misdemeanor in the third degree, and illegal possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor in the fourth degree. He agreed to submit to an Ohio Risk Assessment (ORAS) and was told he needed to provide more information to the court. Wirth had no address, phone number, or reliable transportation to show the court he was able to make necessary appearances.

This week, Wirth appeared via video call from the Harrison County Jail. He scored at moderate risk of recidivism on the ORAS and had sent in a letter to the court, providing an address to a homeless shelter where he would be residing if released from jail. The

state expressed they would be satisfied with a recognizance bond for Wirth if he could provide adequate contact information. A recognizance bond, or released on your own recognizance, is a form of bail that releases the defendant, without the requirement of posting bail, based on a written promise by the defendant to appear in court when required to do so.

Hervey left bond under advisement and told Wirth if he could get the court a good phone number and prove he had reliable transportation, he would grant a recognizance bond.

JEWETT—The second October Jewett Village Council meeting began with a report from Village Administrator Mike Mcbee.

Mcbee detailed a clean-up effort due to sinkholes. The yard in question is now clean, and a buried catch basin was discovered on the premises.

There was a brief discussion about recent changes to the road salt contract for this year.

The new contract would require the village to purchase at least 40% of the total salt tonnage by the end of the year. “I don’t believe that with the total tonnage we’re requesting, we’ll get to that point by the end of the year,” Mcbee said.

He commented that this contract would not be ideal for the village. “I can go back to 2018 and find these contracts that don’t have that specific [clause].” Mcbee also said he would call the company to get more information and investigate other contract options.

Mayor George Bailie announced there would be asbestos inspections on several abandoned properties. There are four properties set for demolition through the Ohio Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program.

The buildings will be demolished, but the

property owners will maintain their rights.

The program was announced in December, and several Ohio counties have already been able to take advantage of it, tearing down old, dangerous buildings for the betterment of the community.

In the same vein, the mayor talked about another demolition project, “As far as the Brown Field, I talked to [Commissioner] Paul Coffland, and still no updates on that; it’s still in the process,” Bailie said. “They’re still looking for money. Hopefully, we can get that funded.” The goal is to demolish the old school while keeping the gym. Upkeep for the entire building is too much to justify.

There was a discussion about parcels of land behind the Wildcat Center. Currently, a resident uses part of the land for storing gravel and the village, along with Rumley Township, uses the lot for storage as well. The resident works for the village, often discounting the cost or working for free, so the previous council did not see a problem with allowing him to use the land. However, it is technically illegal for him to use village property this way, as government property is for official business only. The council was previously unaware of this legal issue, but since it was brought to their attention, it will be addressed by leasing parts of the property to the resident.

LEESVILLE—At the October meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, Superintendent John Zucal reported to the board that he is currently researching options to provide reading resources to the district's students. Zucal said that he feels adequate reading materials are essential and that he is looking at several options, including Series Wonder 2023. Zucal said that he would have more details to report at a later date. Board President Chris Bower said that he agrees and that he "wants to see our kids prepared for college" when they leave Conotton Valley.

During the administrative reports, Board Member Rob Higgenbotham reported that Conotton's Danika Rudder was selected as "student of the month" at Buckeye Career Center. Higgenbotham said that out of 960 students, he feels that is a notable achievement.

Danika Rudder is a Law Enforcement senior. She was nominated by her lab instructor, Mr. Bucky Myers. Rudder attends BCC from

Conotton Valley, where she is a five-year band member. At BCC, she is a two-year Drug-Free Clubs of America member. Outside of school, Rudder attends Carrollton Believers Fellowship Church and First Christian Church. “Danika models to the new students what I expect of them. She maintains a proper uniform and follows lab rules. Students look up to her for advice almost daily,” commented Myers. She remains undecided about her plans following graduation. Rudder is the daughter of Jim and Joey Rudder. Photo provided by Buckeye Career Center

Local organizations create “Cleaning Closet” for Seniors

CADIZ—Members of the Harrison County Adult Services Coalition are partnering with the Cadiz Senior Center to create a “Cleaning Closet” stocked with cleaning supplies that will be available to Harrison County senior citizens at no cost.

Members of the coalition group represent organizations that help the older adult community and understand that far too often, senior citizens may be faced with choosing between buying groceries or their needed prescription drugs, and finding the money in their budgets to afford anything else may be difficult. “We want Harrison County senior citizens to know they don’t have to choose when it comes to having a safe and clean home environment,” said Tate Blanchard, facilitator of the Harrison County Adult Services Coalition. He continued, “Harrison County seniors will be able to visit the Cadiz Senior Center and get items such as buckets, mops, brooms, multi-purpose cleaner, bleach, paper towels, sponges, and gloves at no cost. Helping them to reduce the risk of disease spread in their homes and helping them to maintain their home environments without any added financial burdens,” Blanchard added.

The group is made up of representatives from Amedisys Hospice, Cadiz Senior Center, Capital Health Care Network (Meadows of Cadiz, Gables Care Center of Hopedale, and Sunny Slope Care Center of Bowerston), Diamond Pharmacy, Dixon Health Care Center of Wintersville, IC Care - In-Home

Companion Care, and Valley Hospice. On Wednesday, they gathered at the Cadiz Senior Center to stock the “Cleaning Closet” with the first twenty of each item. The group will keep the closet stocked on an as-needed basis to ensure the supplies are always readily accessible to those who need them.

There are no financial restrictions for anyone to come to the “Cleaning Closet” and get the supplies they need. The Harrison County Adult Services Coalition requests that recipients only take what they need and nothing more, ensuring the products are available to as many people as possible.

Senior Center Director Anjanetta Myers said she’s expecting a few more donations and hopes that the organizations involved will continue with their generosity in the future.

‘Being a county deputy is the best choice I’ve made’

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ—Shianne Nameth originally wanted to be a wildlife officer but found herself working for the Harrison County Sheriff's Office instead. Nameth loves hiking and being outdoors. "I love going to all the different parks," she said. "I like seeing different things." She played basketball and softball in high school in addition to running cross country. Nameth grew up in Cadiz and graduated from Harrison Central in 2016. Her whole family is involved in the community.

Her mother and sister run a barber shop across from the courthouse, and her father coaches football and teaches at the career center.

Nameth attended Ohio University for a year before transferring to Hocking College. She has an associate degree in Natural Resources Law Enforcement.

"People started telling me I should work for the Sheriff's Office because they were hiring.

I thought, 'maybe,'" she laughed. "I ended up talking to Captain Touville and Sheriff Myers and ended up taking a position part-time. So I started out covering for when others called out."

She worked part-time for several months before recently moving up to full-time.

"Being a cop isn't what I expected it to be," Nameth said. She went through the police academy in the midst of great civil unrest, when respect for law enforcement was low.

Despite this, Nameth noted, "Being a county deputy is the best choice I made."

Law enforcement is a male-dominated field, "When you think of a cop, you think of a guy," Nameth said. "There were only about three females in my classes… and at the end of the academy, I was the only girl." She's currently the only female deputy employed at the sheriff's office, but she gets along well with her coworkers, saying she's become "one of the guys." She said she doesn't know how to explain it since she didn't grow up with many siblings, but "those guys have become my brothers. They really took me under their wing."

She encourages everyone to consider a job in law enforcement. From corrections officers to dispatchers, all are necessary, no matter

gender, for the county.

Nameth enjoys the unexpectedness of the day-to-day work with the sheriff. "I never saw myself sitting at a desk job," she said. "What keeps me around is the never knowing, expecting the unexpected…I go out every day and do my job the best I can."

Being a good role model is important to Nameth. "I feel like I'm someone that girls can look up to. When people look at the police academy, they think they can't do it," she said.

"I went to speak at a camp, and when all the little girls found out I was a deputy, they were like, 'what?' and I said, 'Whatever you want to do, you can do it.'"

She said she wants to be a wildlife officer eventually, but she's not in a hurry. She expects to be at the sheriff's office for quite a few years.

She clearly has a heart for her community and sees the good in those around her, despite the nature of the job at times. "There's a lot of good people in the county that make it worth it," Nameth concluded.

LOOK AT THE PAST Old Nottingham School

By Susan Adams

The estimated date of the photograph is 1889-1890. There are some pupils of the Old Nottingham School of Moorefield Township. Two of the students have been identified. They are Walter Angus Holliday (1879-1956), the tall boy, third from the left, front row; and his sister Chloe Holliday Scott (wife of Rev. Dewitt Talmadge Scott) (1876-1959), the tall girl, third row, extreme right. The Old Nottingham School stood on the south

side of Route 22, about one-third of a mile east of Nottingham Church. When plans were made for a new schoolhouse, the old building (pictured) was purchased by the Moore family, moved into an adjacent field, and used as a granary. The New Nottingham School’s last teacher was Leslie L. Street in 1935. Many, if not all of these children would have attended the Nottingham Presbyterian Church, which will be celebrating its 200th Anniversary on Sunday, November 13, from 10 a.m.noon. The picture and information were given to the Harrison County Historical Society by Dr. John C. Holliday.

Ann’s Advice

Dear Ann, I recently moved into an apartment building and have started to get whiffs of stale cigarette smoke in my apartment. I spotted the renter below me standing in their doorway and smoking, so I’m now fairly sure that the smell is coming up to my apartment from them. Our leases don’t say anything about smoking, but I don’t smoke and don’t want my apartment to smell like secondhand smoke. Should I confront them? Talk to my landlord?

Or just invest in air fresheners?

Sincerely, Smoke Signals.

Dear Smoke Signals, This is a rough one! I certainly understand not wanting your apartment to smell like smoke.

Since the leases allow smoking, your neighbor is not wronging the property or landlord in any way, so you’re probably stuck putting up with it. Approaching your neighbor will, most likely, only cause a problem you can’t solve. If you feel you could have a pleasant conversation with your neighbor to identify a certain spot the smoke was getting in, they may respect your request and stand elsewhere. Still, secondhand smoke can seep through vents and any cracks or openings in multilevel dwellings. Their smoking anywhere in their apartment could affect your apartment, depending on the building. Your landlord is your point person; go to him with any problem before it gets out of control. He may have dealt with this before and come up with a solution or be open to other options we have not thought of. I have never invested in an air purifier myself, but it could be an option to try.

Vinegar mixed with lemon juice is a good, cheap room spray to neutralize odors. Baking soda in open containers is known to absorb smells in the air, too, but I would stock up on candles and essential oils for a diffuser until you work out a solution with your landlord. I am hoping for the best for you!

Much love, Ann

Good NEWS: The Mirror

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

Some of us like what we see when we look into a mirror, and some of us don’t, but one thing is for sure, none of us forgets what we look like when we walk away from that mirror. For better or for worse, every one of us can conjure up a picture in our mind of what we look like. The mirror is the example the Bible uses in the New Testament book of James to remind us that when we look into the Scriptures, we discover what we should look like. We are not supposed to read the Bible and be content that we have done our religious duty by only reading what it says, but we are to be doers of what it says. Unless we act right away after looking into the mirror of Scripture, we will forget what our new Christian identity looks like and the changes we need to make as we strive to grow up in our salvation. The things we will see after looking into the mirror of God’s Word will surprise many who have never read it. Every believer is now a living stone in the temple of God and a member of the priesthood. That’s what Peter tells us in 1 Peter 2:5 “You are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests.

Through Jesus Christ being our mediator, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.” So how do you like being a priest? That’s what the mirror of God’s Word says about you as a believer in Jesus the Messiah. Peter goes on to warn us of another thing we should see in the mirror of God’s Word, “As temporary residents and foreigners, keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors.” Do you see yourself as just a temporary resident here with a calling to leave a good taste in the mouth of unbelievers? This is why the apostle Paul says we are ambassadors for Jesus. An ambassador goes to a foreign country and represents his homeland. That’s us, temporary residents here representing the kingdom of God to people living, according to Jesus’ words, in the kingdom of darkness. Speaking of darkness, we should see a lover of the light and truth when we look into that mirror.

What separates believers from unbelievers is that we believe that the Bible is absolute truth.

Paul counseled the Colossians, “Beware of those who try to bedazzle you with big words and academic double-talk. Their ideas are empty human traditions. But that’s not the way of Christ.” We should see the truth in the mirror of God’s Word and not subjective philosophies.So how’s your mirror? Let’s all take a good, long look this week.

A history in honor of Nottingham Presbyterian Church’s 200th Anniversary

BY SUE ADAMS Harrison County Historian CADIZ—The Nottingham Presbyterian Church will be celebrating its 200th Anniversary on Sunday, November 13, 2022, from 10 a.m.noon. Lunch and fellowship will follow the service. You are cordially invited to attend.

Please RSVP to Patty at 740-312-2405.

In “looking back,” the founders of Nottingham Presbyterian Church were dedicated to God and their families. They faced a life of hard work, few comforts, and considerable danger. Immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, England, or France would have no opportunity to see the families they left in Europe again. They came to eastern Ohio usually after spending some time in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Western Pennsylvania. When these families first came into this region, it was a wilderness composed of Indians and wild animals. Near Nottingham passed an Indian trail to their hunting grounds in the Muskingum and Scioto Counties, about ¾ mile from the front of the present church. Before the national road, this trail, known as State Route 22, was traveled more than any other route west of the Ohio River. After arriving, these families soon sought a place where they might worship God according to the dictates of conscience and after the order of their Puritan fathers.

The Revolutionary War had ended on September 3, 1783. George Washington started his first term as president on April 30, 1789.

Ohio became a state in 1803. Harrison County was formed from part of Jefferson County and part of Tuscarawas County on February 1, 1813. Nottingham Church was named after Nottingham Township in Tuscarawas County.

It is not known why they chose the current location for the church, but it is believed it was because the largest cluster of settlers was along the current Nottingham Church - Holloway Road. The history of what will become the church starts before 1822. On the second Sabbath of June 1806, the Rev. John Rea preached the first sermon in this region in the forest at the base of a large chestnut tree not far from where the present-day church stands. This was an outpost for his missionary work. Dr. Rea would continue to preach occasionally at this point for five years.

In bad weather, they would meet in a private house. In 1808 a tent was erected on the south side of the graveyard. This tent was used in the summer for eight or ten years. In winter or stormy days, they used the house of Robert Baxter. In 1821, Rev. William Wallace, an evangelist preaching here and elsewhere, applied to the Presbytery to form an organization of a church at the tent. The request was granted, and the church of Nottingham was formed on November 17, 1822, with 22 names on the roll.

In 1821 the first house of worship was a log cabin a short distance above the “old tent.” The ladies, by personal efforts, procured the nails and glass. It was a crude structure but answered the purpose for the time being. In 1828 the second

house of worship was a brick building 50 x 40 feet and began to be constructed in 1828 but was not completed until 1833. The congregation worshiped in this edifice for 29 years until it became rather small for the people that desired to attend church and be comfortably seated.

In August 1859, people met about building a third house of worship. Within 30 minutes, one-half of the whole amount was subscribed on sight. Papers were prepared and sent around to the absentees and, in due time, returned with the required sum of money pledged. A building committee was appointed at a meeting held February 3, 1860, and directed to erect a house 73 by 50 feet with a gallery in front, a 20-foot ceiling in the sanctuary, and a tower 100 feet high. This house was dedicated, free from debt, on April 18, 1861, six days after the attack on Fort Sumner at the start of the Civil War. The total cost was $4,310. The church was heated until about 1940 with two pot bellied stoves, one on each side of the church. Then a coal furnace was installed. It was necessary to dig out part of the basement. In 1972 it was replaced with an oil furnace. The first organ was installed on July 31, 1871, at the cost of $374. Music was a very important part of Nottingham Church. There was a new organ purchased in 1955. The bell was hung on November 10, 1879. It weighed 504 pounds, and the yoke and mounting weighed 300 pounds. Horses were the most valuable animal on the farm at this time; therefore, stables were built near the church to protect the horses in bad weather. The parsonage was built for $1,685, and the outbuildings for $200.

In 1969 the basement was dug out, and the large room that resulted can be used for many purposes, including Sunday school, meetings, and dinners. Floor tiles were added in 1991.

From the beginning of the church until about the end of World War I, the church was not only the center of the community’s religious life but also the social center. Ice cream festivals, box lunches, speakers, and always singing led it to be the center of community life. It was often the place where you met your future husband or wife.

Over the 200 years, the Nottingham Presbyterian Church has had many ministers (and circuit riders) who have dedicated their time and energy to the church and its members.

In their own manner, they did much to advance and preserve the church, for which the congregation will forever be grateful. One minister, Dr. T. R. Crawford, served the church for 40 years. Under his leadership, the church grew and prospered.

Rev. John Rea is probably the most famous Eastern Ohio Presbyterian evangelist. He is associated with the growth of several Presbyterian churches: Beech Spring, Ridge, Cadiz, Deersville, Morristown, Crabapple, and Nottingham. It was Dr. Rea that encouraged a young man by the name of Thomas Crawford to become a Presbyterian minister. Thomas Crawford would be a pivotal figure at the Nottingham Church, serving from October 19, 1846, through November 1, 1886.

Thomas Crawford was born near New

Athens, Ohio, on March 8, 1821. In his 18th year, he united with the Presbyterian Church under the ministry of Rev. Jacob Coon of New Athens during a revival in 1840. Thomas graduated from Franklin College in New Athens, Ohio, in 1844 and, on the same day, was chosen as Professor of Mathematics in that college. During his time teaching there, he studied Theology under Dr. Rea. It was Dr. Rea that insisted on Crawford filling the appointment at the Church of Nottingham.

Rev. Crawford began his ministerial work at Nottingham on October 19, 1846, and in due time was ordained and installed as pastor. Rev. Crawford enjoyed a long and fruitful pastorate.

On June 12, 1886, he gave a letter to the session asking the Nottingham congregation to dissolve his relations with the church. His reason was failing health and inability to perform the duties required. Dr. Crawford was 65 years old at the time. He had devoted his whole pastoral life to Nottingham Church and its members.

When Rev. Crawford was installed as pastor, the membership roll was 62 members. At his retirement in October 1886, the membership was 376. In his 40 years, Rev. Crawford had taken in 1,210 members, 978 by profession of faith and 232 by letter. This amounted to 30-1/3 additions annually for 40 years.

Dr. Crawford kept meticulous records. In his 40 years, 5,100 sermons were preached; 350 popular lectures were given; 14,437 pastoral visits were made; 960 infants or children were baptized, and 480 adults were baptized. His wife, Isabel Parks Crawford, was active in founding the Missionary Society. Dr. Thomas R. Crawford’s years were the golden years. During this time, Harrison County residents enjoyed widespread prosperity. Nottingham reached its highest membership, just under 500 members, in the 1870s. People came to Nottingham from almost ten miles in any direction. On his retirement day, Nottingham had the largest gathering in its history. By approximate count, there were from 2,000 to 2,500 people who convened at the church to participate in the celebration. During Rev. Crawford’s tenure, there were many fine extensive revivals enjoyed in which large numbers were added to the church. Nottingham grew to be one of the largest rural churches in Eastern Ohio. From this pastorate, nine young men had gone out of their membership into the work of the Gospel ministry.

Much has happened in these 200-plus years. This beautiful church is still serving the community today and continues making history. Many of the founding members have ancestors connected to the church today.

The perseverance and tenacity of those early immigrants and their predecessors have kept the church going.

In “moving forward,” the church is very involved in mission work. Even though they are a small church today, they support missions locally, like the local food banks, Lakeland Group Ministries, Blessings in a Backpack, and Camp Presmont. They contribute during national disasters and support missions around

the world. Every Easter, they have a combined sunrise service and breakfast at the church with the Rankin UM Church, and the Sunday evening before Thanksgiving, they have a combined service at Rankin with the collection going to the mission “Crop.”

Nottingham and Freeport have the same pastor, David Bryan, and they support each other for different services. Everyone is invited to attend the Nottingham Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m. on Sundays.

The church will be holding a service to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its existence on Sunday, November 13, 2022, starting at 10 a.m. with Pastor Dave Bryan. There will be the “Ringing of the Bell,” lighting of the candle, music by Chris Brokaw and Jane Hughes, bagpipes by Morgan Knight, welcome and call to worship by Pastor Bryan, invocation, hymn, several speakers will present a “memory lane” special music by Bob Tomer and Cody Romshak, vocal music by Jim McConnell, Rev. Mark Unrue: Muskingum Valley Moderator for the Church, Rev. Matt Skolonik: Muskingum Valley General Presbyter, Former pastors: Rev. Karen Jones, Rev. Bryan Powell, and Pastor Jim McConnell. They will recognize area lay pastors who filled the pulpit in the winter of 2022. There will be a re-dedication of the church building and all the improvements that have been added over the last 200 years.

State Representative Don Jones, from the 95th District, will present a Commendation Plaque from the State of Ohio. Don is the son-in-law of church members Bruce and Patty Anderson Clay. The morning offering will be given to Donald and Norma Toland, former missionaries in Papua, New Guinea, for 30 years. The church supported them over the years in doing God’s work. There will be an offertory song, doxology, and prayer of dedication by Pastor Dave Bryan.

Former Nottingham and Rankin youth group members will be recognized. Closing remarks by Pastor Dave Bryan “Looking Back and Moving Forward.” Lunch and fellowship will follow the service. There will be a display of pictures and memorabilia to help folks reminisce.

Most of the information used to write this article is from the Nottingham 150th Anniversary book by Wm. Thomas Holliday and the Nottingham Presbyterian Church 175th Anniversary History 1822-1997 by Richard V. Moore. Thank you to both of these fine men for their dedication.

From the Nottingham 150th Anniversary 1822-1972 book written by Wm. Thomas Holliday, Historian – Elder and Clerk of Nottingham, “A Closing Thought” – “It has been a privilege and challenge to be the writer of the story of Nottingham Church, of its founding, its trials, its growth, its tenacity to endure and its human interest in all the families of the church, and those who were not of the church. Our church has always been a beacon for those who seek God. My only hope is that those who read this story will derive as much pleasure from it as I have in writing the story.

May Nottingham long continue.”

Huskies bring V.A.L.E.S. back home Clinch playoff berth in Division V

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

CADIZ—All is right in Husky Nation!

The Huskies dispatched their V.A.L.E.S. rival last Friday night at Wagner Field and brought the coveted trophy back to stay in Harrison County for the entirety of the next calendar year. After conceding the hardware last season for the first time in nine years, the Huskies topped the Buckeye Local Panthers 45-34, clinching the 12-seed in the Region 17 playoffs in the process.

“Not much is better than beating your rival!

The fact that we were able to send our seniors out with a victory on their senior night is something special. The fact that it was at home was even sweeter. Our seniors have been the glue for our team. They are small in numbers, but they are large in heart and commitment.

I couldn’t be more proud of them and happy for them. They really are fantastic young men,” stated Head Coach Anthony Hayes.

The glue that Hayes speaks of may have saved the season. The Huskies (6-4) had dropped three straight midway through the season, but with steady leadership and focus instilled by the senior class, finished the year strong with back-to-back victories.

The Panthers (2-8) didn’t necessarily give the rivalry piece back without a fight. The visitors led 14-7 after the first, but the Huskies rebounded to hold a slim 21-20 advantage at the intermission. Midway through the third, the game was knotted at 28. The game truly

operated like a see-saw up until the 3:20 mark of the fourth and final frame, when senior kicker Jace Madzia booted a 36-yard gamesealing field goal to put the Huskies in front by two possessions.

“We knew going in this was going to be a backyard brawl. Anytime that we play Buckeye Local, it is an intense physical battle. Throw the records out the window. Records are irrelevant when we play. They are going to get our best,

and we are going to get their best. This year it was no different,” an elated Hayes explained.

Hayden Cassidy tossed for 233-yards on an 18 for 30 throwing line, with three touchdowns. Parker Hutton, Tre Rex, and the emerging playmaker in Alex Fluharty were on the receiving end of the three money balls. Hutton led the receiving corps with eight catches for 95-yards. He also added an interception on the defensive side of the ball.

On the ground, Mykel Quito chewed up the marks from his running back position.

The sophomore was called on early and often, closing out the night with three touchdowns and 126 rushing yards on 31 carries.

“Our offensive line stepped up big. They put it on their shoulders. We knew going in the line would need to step up, and they did. Coach Smith, Coach Case, and Coach Nameth did an outstanding job of getting them ready. Our backs ran harder than they have ever run. We felt that we could throw the ball and have

some success, but if we were able to run it well, they would have trouble stopping us,” Hayes summarized.

The defensive effort forced four Panther turnovers, and while Buckeye Local’s Trey Hoover ran up 301 rushing yards and three touchdowns, ultimately, it wasn’t enough.

“The defense stepped up when we needed them. We were close all night to making big plays on defense and just missed on several occasions. It was only fitting that our defense sealed the deal when Lucas Thomas had the big sack. It’s really easy to take plays off when your opponent gouges you for big plays, and the game is back and forth. But to our guys’ credit, we never quit pushing, and in the end, our relentless effort paid off,” said Hayes.

The Huskies will meet Norwayne High School this weekend in the Div. V Region 17 playoffs. It will be the third consecutive year the Huskies have participated in the postseason and the sixth all-time appearance.

Boys’ Hopedale Baseball soccer concludes rec ends in season with win playoffs with close call

Banal earns All-T L honors

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer CADIZ—Harrison Central’s Kaily Banal has earned the distinction of being named to the 2022 All-Times Leader Golf Team.

Banal, a sophomore at Harrison Central, has consistently shown improvement in her game since this past season. She has successfully dropped five shots from her average since the 2021 season. She golfed on the boy’s team until the post-season play, where she sported a 47.9 average. In Buckeye 8 play, Banal finished in the top 15, and for the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC), she managed 17th place in the 4-A class.

The post-season play saw the gifted player garner an amazing 13th place from a field of 98 golfers during sectional action and lifted her to the district tournament. She walked away from that tournament competition field as the 14th finisher.

“Kaily is the epitome of a student-athlete,” said Harrison Central Head Golf Coach Todd Dunlap. “She’s great in the classroom, a competitive three-sport athlete, and is becoming a leader at our school. She continues to improve every day, and her future potential keeps rising,” Dunlap added.”

CORTLAND—On Thursday, the Harrison Central boys varsity soccer team headed north to Cortland, Ohio, to take on the Rockets at Maplewood High School in sectional finals action. The Huskies persistently held the opponent in check throughout the first half, with the halftime score 0-0. However, in the second half, the Maplewood team found the net for the only score of the game.

“The ball just didn’t want to go in. We hit the post again; it would not go in. They got one shot that went in. Credit to them; they have a good team. We knew it was going to be a close game,” said Coach Derek Gramling. “They had nine seniors. They had that athleticism of those older boys. When you have nine players that are seniors, you have a very athletic team.

It was a great game. It hurts that we lost, and the season is over. This is the best team I have had in years. It has been a pleasure coaching all these boys. It was great having Lizzy Clelland as a statistician.” He added, “It was a really fun season. I think this is the season I’ve enjoyed the most of my seven years. I’m proud of all the boys.” Final score: HC 0 Maplewood 1

HOPEDALE—The Hopedale Recreation Baseball Team concluded its 2022 spring season this past weekend. They played their final game at the "Wild Things" stadium, which was a wonderful experience for the team.

"We had nine teams this spring," said coach Ryan Wood. "We put together a successful community travel team that worked extremely hard to play tournaments on the weekends through the spring. We were again able to offer tournament experiences to multiple divisions over the spring and summer sessions. We played Colt Division games for the first time this summer and were able to participate in a showcase-style tournament," he added.

Hopedale fielded teams in all divisions this fall and had another great season of inhouse tee ball. Batting cages were added, and upgrades were made at the pony field, enabling 60/90 to be played moving forward.

"We are very excited about 2023 and are continuing to focus on giving the kids more opportunities to play competitive baseball," Wood went on. "Moving forward, that will include traditional recreation ball in the spring.

"We want to thank all the fall ball families from other communities that join us every year. Also, we want to thank all the coaches and parents that keep the kids on baseball fields all year. We are heading into a short break, sign-ups, and then back at it for 2023," he concluded.

Individuals interested in following the Hopedale Baseball Association's activities or have a child (both boys and girls) interested in joining the organization should go to their Facebook page or contact Ryan Wood, any of the coaches, or a player's parent for information about joining.

The Association will host spring 2023 signups in January.

SHERIFF’S OFFICE 10/11 – A Bowerston woman called to report damage to her Dish satellite. The woman believed her upstairs neighbor had caused the damage and had also been the one to damage their neighbor’s Halloween decorations and porch light. The woman said her upstairs neighbor had recently been “acting psychotic and hostile.” The responding deputy contacted the upstairs neighbor, who denied damaging the porch light and decorations but admitted she damaged the satellite dish when taking her AC unit to her car. She said when she came downstairs, she was “getting swarmed with bees” and dropped the unit. The deputy asked why she hadn’t reported the damage to the neighbor, and she said it wasn’t “her fault her landlord won’t do anything about her bee problem.” She told the deputy she felt someone was coming into her house and taking miscellaneous items. She accused her downstairs neighbor but had no proof of her responsibility.

The deputy later had contact with the neighbor whose porch light had been damaged and told her that if she felt threatened by the upstairs neighbor, she could file a protection order at the courthouse.

10/12 – There was a minor fender bender in the Tappan Lake Store parking lot when one vehicle was backing out of a spot and was hit by another car trying to exit the lot. No injuries were reported.

10/15 – Deputies were called to a Freeport residence by an anonymous caller who stated their friend was in an altercation with her spouse. The woman at the residence said that a verbal argument with her husband had turned physical when he flicked a lit cigarette butt at her, burning her wrist. She also said he had thrown a water bottle at her. The husband was not at the residence, having left on foot before deputies arrived. The woman said she didn’t want to press charges or get a protection order against her husband. She did, however, decide

to leave the residence to go to her parent’s house for the weekend. It was discovered that the husband had taken the keys to her vehicle, so she and her children were given a ride so they could meet up with the woman’s father. The following day, deputies spoke to the husband, who was informed he had an active warrant out for his arrest. He claimed that nothing had happened the previous night and stated he would not be turning himself in.

10/17 – Last week, a woman came to the office to report that her mother had been stealing royalty checks for over a year. The deputy she spoke to could not reach the mother. This week, contact was made with the mother, who claimed she had a verbal agreement with her daughter about the oil and gas checks. The mother and daughter were both listed on the oil and gas royalties. When the mother moved out of state, an agreement was made that the mother could pay bills from those checks. Due to this being a civil issue, the sheriff’s office will no longer be involved with the case.

10/18 – A deputy responded to a crash on US RT 250 near the Olive Branch Cemetary. The deputy was advised the driver possibly had a head injury. Upon arrival, the driver said he’d come around the turn and lost control of his vehicle. He’d spun, causing him to go off the road, where he hit a cattle fence and a wooden horse fence. The driver stated he’d hit his head on the windshield. Short Creek EMS evaluated the driver, who refused further treatment. No signs of impairment were observed. The driver and property owner exchanged information with the driver agreeing to fix the damage.

CADIZ POLICE 10/18 – Police were called to investigate a vandalism complaint at the democratic party headquarters.

The front window of the building was damaged. Pictures were taken of the damage.

Local youth ministry launches in corn field with murder mystery

BY CARRIE OLSON Crossroads Farm Co-Director

CADIZ—"I'm lost and being chased by a clown and a werewolf!" screamed a group of students as they ran through a corn maze on Route 250 last Saturday night. Crossroads Farm - The Mine, a new youth ministry located in Cadiz, hosted its launch event last Saturday, October 22. Fifty-nine students (grades 6-12) attended the “Murder Mystery” event for a fun night featuring a concert, a spiritual message, and solving a murder in a corn maze.

The Mine is the third branch of Crossroads Farm, an outsourced cooperative rural youth ministry that partners with churches to reach students in small towns. "Murder Mystery" is their largest annual outreach event. This year the three branches of Crossroads Farm saw over 500 students at their "Murder Mystery" nights.

The band, Attaboy, kicked off the night with a one-hour concert in an old barn decorated with corn stalks and cobwebs. The band's flashing light show and booming sound had the students on their feet, jumping, dancing, and singing along. One senior exclaimed, "Oh, this is a legit band!" A highlight of the night was the band inviting students on stage

to practice being the lead singer. The students loved it!

Student Holly McMahon of Cadiz shared her moving testimony of how God has changed her life. Luke Marshall, ministry director of Crossroads Farm - The Mine, delivered a powerful spiritual challenge to students. Over ten students made the decision to follow Jesus Christ!

Then the night shifted dramatically as Luke told the students there had been a "Murder Under the Big Top." A video skit set the scene, showing the suspects and victim. Then they were off! Students in groups of five to ten ran to the three-mile-long circus-themed corn maze, where they found eight clue sites complete with challenges and costumed scarers. The team with the right answer and the fastest time won "Murder Under the Big Top" t-shirts. Shrieks and laughter could be heard floating over the cornfield as students encountered mirrors, clowns, lights, creepy food, and more inside the corn maze. A bonfire, hot chocolate, apple cider, and donuts were the perfect end to the event held on the star-studded, crispy fall night.

Over 50 volunteers made this student outreach night possible. Crossroads Farm - The Mine is grateful to be in a community that cares about its kids.

Crossroads Farm is all about loving rural

Trunk or treat in Smithfield

BY ESTHER MCCOY Harrison News-Herald Correspondent SMITHFIELD—A family group from Cadiz traveled to Friendship Park in Smithfield for the "Trunk or Treat" event held by the 4-H Foundation. The attendees ranged from a toddler to parents. Those in the group who were expertly made up for the occasion were Dakota Hupp, Victoria Pointer, Gracie Hupp, Matthew Pointer, Theodora Pointer, and Alivia

Hupp. There were over 20 groups offering treats and a scary moment as all were made up with spooky faces. The 4-H Restaurant offered a rigatoni dinner during the event.

Carl Glen was the cook for the dinner, and 4-H members waited on customers. There was an array of nice gifts to bid on, including a Dave Barnhouse print. Another group was a Ninja, Billy Ault, and Unicorn providing transportation for Leila Sudrvary, were making friends with two young colts.

Haunted reviews

To follow up on our Haunted Happenings feature this year, some of our News-Herald staff attended several haunts in the area. The experiences ranged from spooky to downright scary!

It’s not too late to attend one of these haunted attractions this year… if you dare.

ST.CLAIRSVILLE—Fear Field Atmosphere 4/5 Family Friendliness 5/5 Scares 4 /5 Fear Field is a great haunt for the whole family! Make sure you buy tickets in advance to skip the line at the ticket booth and be ready for a leisurely stroll through the dark forest full of creatures thirsting for blood. Before stepping foot into the trees, you must get through Berserker, who lets you know exactly what you're in for. "My children are hungry, and I need FRESH MEAT!" The walk really takes advantage of dim lighting to set the mood, with actors ready to jump out from any direction.

8-year-old Aubrey Kyer said her favorite part was "Not getting murdered." Iconic.

WHEELING—Infernum in Terra Atmosphere 5/5 Family Friendliness 3/5 Scares 4/5 The first moments of your experience at Infernum in Terra are dictated by an actress demon who sets up the story of the haunt. She is ready to send you into eternal torment but

offers a memento to help you escape if you manage to find the demon with the password.

This haunt is definitely geared toward an adult audience, though a tough ten-year-old would probably be okay. The tight spaces inside make it ideal for small groups and couples. Detailed props and creative lighting add to the creepy atmosphere. There are original characters around every corner, ready with attitude and high-volume scares.

JEWETT—HARCO House of Horrors Atmosphere 5 /5 Family Friendliness 4/5 Scares 4 /5 Walking into the HARCO House of Horrors is walking into a pitch-black maze.

The majority of the tour is spent in near-total darkness with haunt actors quite literally breathing down your neck. It's never clear how long an actor may follow close behind you, creating paranoia whether in a tight space with just a couple of actors or in a wider hallway listening to many footsteps in the dark. The uncertainty of your surroundings adds to an overall uneasy feeling that permeates the haunt. The blackness means props are sparse in some areas of the maze, but several rooms are filled with dimly lit horrors. While the actors do not touch you in this haunt, they may interact in unexpected ways, directing you down a path to escape, or maybe it's just another dead end. You'll have to decide whether to trust them or not.

teens, and they are thrilled to be in Harrison County. They officially begin to serve students in Harrison County and the surrounding area this Sunday, October 30, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at their current location in the lower level of the Harrison News-Herald building on Main Street in Cadiz. Their weekly youth program will run through the remainder of the school year. They invite all 6th-12th grade students

to join them for games, popcorn, music, and "The Red Letters." Only adults who are official Crossroads Farm - The Mine volunteers will be permitted to be present during the program each Sunday night. For more information on Crossroads Farm - The Mine, please visit www.crossroadsfarm.org, call 517-283-3982, or find them on Facebook and Instagram @ crossroadsfarmthemine.

A group of students looks over their clue sheets to solve the murder.

Several students perform a lip sync on stage with Attaboy, the featured band.

Horseman council holds second memorial ride for Dorothy Glover

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ—The second annual memorial ride in honor of community icon Dorothy Glover took place on October 22. The weather was perfect for the 18 horses and three mules. About 25 people came to show support for Dorothy’s life and work. Dorothy passed away in August 2021, but many hold her in memory as a strong, passionate woman.

Dorothy was a pillar in the community of Harrison County. She bought her own excavation company, DFG Excavating, Inc., at 45 years old, a little later in life than some expect to begin a business. Her husband, Bob, said, “The first year she was doing excavating, the people felt like it wouldn’t last because she’s a woman. That type of work wasn’t done by women.” However, this didn’t stop her, and “within six to eight months, there wasn’t any job or anything that could pull the wool over her eyes because she knew how to do it and do it herself.”

She loved her work and built a reputation of integrity and trust with her customers.

“If she told you it was gonna cost a certain amount, and she got to the end, and it cost less, she would refund the extra,” Bob explained.

At one point, she had almost 30 employees working for her. She never asked any of them to do something she wouldn’t do herself.

“There wasn’t anything that one of the men could do that she couldn’t,” Bob said. “She was the type that when she went out on a job, she knew what it would take. It wasn’t like she was second-guessing.” Even on the mechanical side of things, Dorothy was always prepared. She took the time to learn how to replace parts and keep her machines running without spending a mint on outside mechanics. She ran the company for 25 years and won several awards during that time, including one for 15 years of continued growth and customer satisfaction from 1990-

2005. Dorothy’s work was in high demand until her retirement around 2015.

Beyond her company, Dorothy was active in her community and was president of the Harrison County Horseman’s Council. “She organized rides and worked with people and other clubs,” Bob said. She organized an annual ride and, one year, had 87 horses for the ride.

“She was very strong. She wasn’t afraid to stand up to anybody and take charge,” Bob said. “She would do anything for anybody. She enjoyed her friends on the horse committee. She really loved them, and she loved her horses.” She spent five years working on getting a pavilion built for the council and public to use at the Harrison State Forest Horseman’s Camp.

“One of her biggest joys was the horses. I came in second, I guess,” Bob laughed. Dorothy worked hard on making trails and being there for her friends, family, and coworkers. “When they worked on the trails, she was probably the oldest in that crew. A couple of the younger ones said they worried she wouldn’t keep up, but she did.”

The word Bob used over and over to describe his wife was dedicated. Bob shared a story about how Dorothy went out of her way to help an elderly resident with his septic tank.

She went out on Christmas morning to fix the issue so the tank was ready for when the man’s family arrived later. The only charge was for the cost of running the machine, nothing for her time. Bob said, “She was dedicated to our marriage, to raising our daughter, to her work, and she always put everybody ahead of her in doing things.”

Dorothy’s family remains dedicated to her legacy. Her daughter, Kimberly Smith, and her husband, Ed, visited for the memorial ride.

Dorothy and Bob have three grandchildren: Cory Williamson, Emily-Kate Williamson, and Eddy Smith. They have one greatgrandson, Kenny Smith.

Dorothy may be described at times with only the word dedication, but it is clear that she was passionate, hard-working, loving, and deeply empathetic. Her work and legacy will be remembered in Harrison County for years.

Daughter Kimberly Smith stands with her father, Bob Glover in front of the pavilion Dorothy helped build. Dorothy spent five years working on the pavilion. She teamed up with State Representative Don Jones and Senator Frank Hoagland to get approval for the build. Even the county engineer was involved with the plans.

Bowerston among the Ohio communities to receive $8.7 million BOWERSTON—Authority for Wastewater and Drinking Water Improvements.

The Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA) awarded $8.7 million through lowinterest loans to Ohio communities to improve wastewater and drinking water infrastructure and make water quality improvements for Ohioans. For the month of September, the Authority funded three projects that will provide improvements and replace aging infrastructure. The three awarded projects received an interest rate ranging from 3.07% to 3.51%.

For September 2022, the following Ohio communities are receiving funding from OWDA’s Fresh Water Loan Program: The Village of Bowerston in Harrison County is receiving $328,925.14 at 3.51% for five years for the design of 11,600 feet of waterlines and a water storage tank to replace aging infrastructure.

Greene County is receiving $6,125,726.00 at 3.07% for 20 years for the construction of

upgrades to the Vayview, and Page Manor lift stations to replace aging infrastructure and allow for elimination of the Planeview and Murwood lift stations, which have exceeded their useful life.

The City of Lorain in Lorain County is receiving $2,314,267.15 at 3.07% for 20 years for the construction of 6,700 feet of waterline along Woodward Avenue, W. 40th Street, E. 37th Street, and Vine Avenue to replace aging waterlines.

The State of Ohio created the OWDA to provide funding for construction of public water and wastewater infrastructure in Ohio.

Since its creation in 1968, OWDA has pursued borrowing that assures the OWDA the lowest cost of funds in order to maintain low borrowing rates for the local governments of Ohio. These low borrowing rates allow local governments to construct necessary water and sewer improvements while minimizing the impact on user charges.

More information about OWDA’s financing programs is available at www.owda.org.
