New public Adena Second annual health council Veterans/First resources celebrates for county Responders Jamboree return of residents doubles in participation member

CADIZ—September is Suicide Prevention Month, and individuals at risk have a new resource available in the form of the nationwide Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This national, 24hour network will immediately put those experiencing a mental health crisis, or their loved ones, in touch with qualified counselors.

All it takes is calling or texting 988.

“If you or a loved one are indicating any kind of self-harm or suicidal thoughts, call the 988 number,” county health administrator Garen Rhome said. Calling 988 will put you in touch with mental health professionals who can offer advice and connect at-risk persons with local resources.

Those who are hurt or injured should still call 911, Rhome clarified.

The 988 number will not put persons in contact with law enforcement or lead to anyone being sent to your home. “These calls are anonymous as long as you want them to be. It is not a law enforcement number, as 911 is,” he said.

Rhome said he hopes the use of the new 988 number will become more prevalent, especially as it is easy to remember.

Another new public health resource is the new omicron-specific COVID-19 booster available from both Pfizer and Moderna. This updated “bivalent booster” is designed to target the original strain of the virus and the new omicron variants. It is available for everyone 12 and up who has completed the initial series.

This means that if you are 12 or over and have had either the one-shot dose of Johnson and Johnson or the two-shot of Moderna or Pfizer, you are eligible for this booster - whether you have received other available boosters or not. Only the Pfizer version of this booster is available for those in the 12-17 age range, however.

Rhome said that this booster is highly recommended for everyone, “especially older folks, 55 and up. Those are the ones who get hit hardest.”

Call a pharmacy if you are seeking a booster, or contact the health department.

The prospect of a booster may look all the more welcome, given that Harrison County is experiencing an increase in COVID cases. Rhome stated that this recent spike, which began in mid-August, is something of an anomaly since the rest of the state, and neighboring counties, are not seeing the same increase.

“On both August 30 and 31, we had 17 cases per day. We hadn’t seen that many cases on a single day since January,” said Rhome.

Harrison County is now at 3,798 total recorded cases since the start of the pandemic.

And for the first time in February, the county has had two new covid-related deaths reported, one from July, the other from August.

Rhome noted that area residents should also start getting their flu shots. The health department will be holding a drive-through flu shot clinic in early October. People with insurance can get flu shots for free at pharmacies. The health department makes shots available for the uninsured at no charge.

ADENA—The Adena village council began their meeting this week with a moment of silence and a welcome back to the head of the street committee, Roger Wallace. Wallace had a stroke in April and has been unable to attend council meetings since then. Mayor Brenda Roski said, “It’s been rough for him, but I’m really glad to see him back. When I started as mayor, I knew nothing about what to do with equipment or what had to be done with snow removal. Roger was my main go-to man to figure out what to do.” He was always helping others and doing his best in the community.

“He’s got a good mind about mechanics and knows what equipment you need to get a job done.”

The meeting got underway with brief police and finance reports. The council voted to remove old accounts from water/sewer billing. The village found nearly $25,000 worth of unpaid accounts, with about half of those being no longer serviced accounts. This happens when someone leaves a residence without properly settling accounts or when someone passes away, and the bill is not dealt with. Those accounts will be removed, while the rest will need to be collected.

Roski provided updates on several smaller projects, including repairing Christmas wreaths, turning off power in the old school building, replacing a garage door at the park, and preparing to buy new park signs and paint the pavilion.

Discussion over accessibility into the village building was brought up again. New asphalt was poured around the building, but there are many smaller projects inside. A temporary wooden ramp was added to a side door so Wallace, who is in a wheelchair, could make it to the meeting. But doorways will need to be widened, and the bathroom will need work as well. “I have a special place in my heart because we do have Roger on our council, but besides that, this building should have always been handicap accessible,” Roski said.

Council member R. J. Konkoleski has been pushing to buy a scissor lift for the village and has finally gotten his wish. Konkoleski did all the legwork, finding several lift options within a reasonable budget. The council voted to purchase a 2013 Genie rough terrain compact scissor lift for an expected $33,000. Konkoleski is hopeful that he can negotiate a slightly lower price because the village can pay cash. A scissor lift will be a great asset to the village as they will no longer need to constantly rely on borrowing lifts and ladders from others.

Road maintenance was a hot topic as a discussion broke out over whether the village was responsible for certain backroads or if those were considered private. It was decided to call the county engineer to determine who owns the roads.

There will be a strategic planning session to prioritize projects in the village. The idea is to dream big, to decide on things that could not be accomplished with the general budget. “Dream big, and we’ll whittle it down,” Konkoleski said. The public meeting is October 4, at 6:30 p.m., in the village building.

Event coordinator Dirk Harkins leads the parade with Captain Mark Touville at the wheel.

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ—The second annual Veterans and First Responders Jamboree began with a free breakfast for veterans/first responders and ended with live music on stage at Sally Buffalo Park. Representatives from the Cadiz Police Department, Cadiz Fire Rescue, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, and many others came out to show their support for each other and the event.

After a prayer by event coordinator Dirk Harkins, Gary Harris sang a rendition of “Proud to be an American” before Olivia Takach sang the National Anthem. Bagpipe player Morgan Knight performed the traditional piping for fallen heroes. Bagpipes have become traditionally played at the end of military funerals by a single piper who may walk slowly away as he plays. WWII veteran Palmer Love raised the flag during the threevolley salute by members of the volunteer honor guard.

The 5k run/walk began with many carrying flags, including Jimmy Morelli and David Watt hoisting the largest flags of the race.

Along with the 5k, there was a One-Mile Swole Sprint where participants could take up to five minutes off their mile time by bench pressing weights before running. Male participants pressed their body weight and took ten seconds off for every rep. Female participants benched half their body weight for the same time reduction per rep.

There were a total of 92 participants this year: 27 finished the swole sprint, 38 finished

the 5k run, and 16 completed the 5k walk.

After announcing awards and winners, several speakers were announced. Senator Frank Hoagland and State Representative Don Jones both gave speeches on the importance of patriotism and education. Speakers John Sebring, Richard Blair, Alex Rogers, and Roger Silva all gave moving speeches remembering veterans and first responders who have given everything for the safety and protection of the community and country.

There was a car show, a cornhole tournament, and several booths with food and crafts throughout the day. Event volunteers sold commemorative t-shirts, and over 400 chicken dinners were cooked for attendees.

Harkins became emotional many times throughout the day, announcing speakers and saying thanks to attendees and participants. He shared from his heart, saying, “It’s been amazing and overwhelming to see people come out and support us. The 5K and Swole Sprint races have almost doubled in participants. As the day goes on, we’ll pack this event more as people come out for bands. It just really blows my mind. I’m grateful to live in this community; everybody here is willing to take the shirt off their back for a veteran or for anyone in need. That’s why we do this each year, and we continue to do it. It’s gonna get bigger and bigger every year. We’re excited about the future.”

An estimated 2,000 people showed up throughout the day, and the event raised about $19,000, with several more expected donations to roll in soon. Overall, another successful event on the books to benefit those who have served our community!

The annual 5k run/walk doubled from last year with over 90 participants. Photo credit TIFFANY BUMGARDNER/EXPOSURE ONE STUDIOS

Board of Elections preparing for November

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter CADIZ—The Board of Elections met for their regular public meeting on September 12. A few minor corrections were made to the minutes from the previous session before being accepted.

The board has been receiving many complaints via template emails. A template email is one a person or organization creates for people to send en masse to a specific place. The template is pre-written, so the sender doesn’t need to add anything themselves, or they need only fill in their name or a few minor details.

The board has gotten many records requests along with complaints. The requests are “Not

as extensive as requests from a couple months ago,” Director Dion Troiano said. They all start the same and mention not destroying any records of the 2020 election. The complaints demand the use of paper ballots and hand counting for the upcoming November election.

Some of them demand that the election results are released the same day. “They’re just, ‘as a citizen, I do not consent to electronic voting machines’ emails,” Troiano said. “The one from last Friday was sent to every county, so it wasn’t sent to just us.” While these emails are a legitimate way for citizens to share grievances with the board, they can also cause delays in the office due to the sheer number of them.

The board moved on to new business, discussing donating or selling old iPad cases to the health department. The vote was

unanimous that the cases be donated.

The board needs poll workers for the November election. If interested, please contact the board of elections for more information.

A representative from Dominion Voting Systems will be visiting for preventative maintenance, checking compliance with security measures, and setting up proper wire/ cable management. These checks are necessary to ensure the integrity of the election process.

The elections office has received proofs of the ballot for November and is currently reviewing and making corrections. They are already gearing up for the November election, preparing both in-person and absentee ballots so that all citizens will have their voices heard this year.

for $1010, and the children’s fund for $11,000.

There was also a purchase order from the Harrison County Engineer for $28,000.

Appropriations were made for the Clerk of Courts for $5,000 and the Harrison County commissioners for $52,000.

Transfers were made for County Water/ Sewer for $8,000 and for the Harrison County Commissioners for $3,000.

Claims docket batch #4802 was passed for $415,139.59.

This week, the commissioners heard from Trina Woodland of OMEGA regarding applying for grant funding for a project being undertaken for the Harrison County Home.

This was the first public hearing for the project; two are required for the application. After the extensive reading, Coffland read resolution 38-22, which was permission from the county commissioners to continue with the application process. The goal of the project is to purchase and install three split-level air conditioning units at the County Home.

Representatives from the Harrison County Health Department spoke to the commissioners about suicide prevention awareness month, which falls in September every year. Health District Administrator Garen Rhome wanted to call attention to the new national mental

health crisis hotline: 988. This change from a full-length telephone number to a three-digit number happened in July.

Purchase orders and vouchers were approved for the County Home for $20,000 and the HCDJFS for a total of $55,000.

The commissioners passed agreement 4522, which was a maximum price amendment for an addition being built onto the County Home. The addition will be 5,300 square feet and should be completed in July of 2023.

This project will be using levy funds. Coffland mentioned that this project was thought of years ago, and the money has been saved due to the proactive work of commissioner Bethel and late commissioner Dale Norris.

A transfer was made between accounts for the commissioner’s office for $30,000.

Appropriations were made for the Sheriff’s Office for $325,000, DJFS for $100,000, the common pleas-juvenile/probate division for $500, and county water for $3,000.

The county engineer received an appropriation of $200,000, and two roadway use and maintenance agreements were passed.

Finally, the commissioners passed claims docket batch #4807 for $227,630.22 before the meeting was adjourned.

The Amish Corner

Harrison Central welcomes foreign exchange students

by Katherine Miller Hello Everyone, This leaves me on a Tuesday evening. We were all enjoying popcorn for a snack.

It’s about the children’s bedtime. The children like going to school.

Today I was cleaning a room in the basement where I keep my canned goods, empty jars, and extra stuff. This evening I went to sister Clara’s to help her a little bit. The boys finished mowing the yard tonight. Then they helped Andrew haul some wood. Andrew also pulled some weeds in the garden. We are trying to get what’s done producing cleaned out of the garden. We are still getting lots of green peppers.

Last week I canned some ketchup and BBQ sauce. So I’m done canning tomatoes for this year. I want to start fall cleaning the upstairs next week.

On Sunday we were at mom and dads for supper and the evening. Some of the other sisters and family were there too.

Hope you all have a good week!

MWCD Plans for Adventure Running Races

BY ALEXIS CORDER Harrison News-Herald Staff Writer

NEW PHILADELPHIA—For many runners around the world, some of the most exciting days of the year are race days. Many suit up in their running gear bright and early, after training for months–and sometimes years–to prepare for what’s ahead.

Running races come in all shapes and sizes, from a 5K which is just over 3 miles, to Ultra Marathon Races that can be over 200 miles in total length and take place over multiple days.

As popular as these races are, the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District agreed that there would be much to benefit from from hosting such events. In partnership with Race Brimstone, an adventure race company out of Canal Fulton, Ohio, the MWCD has decided to put on 4 races at various locations across the park district.

The first race, scheduled to start Saturday, November 5 of this year, is an Ultra Marathon titled the “5 Lake Ultra Race.” This race will take place over multiple days, and will not be for the light-hearted. Runners can choose from 4 different lengths to participate

in for this race; a 50K (about 31 miles), 100K (62 miles), 100 miles, or 200 miles. The race track itself is only 100 miles, but to complete the entire race contestants must run the track from start to finish, then turn around and run the 100 miles back to the start– completing 200 miles of travel in total. Presumably, more information regarding the exact track layout, how contestants can enter, etc., will be released as the race nears.

The second race the MWCD and Race Brimstone are hosting is set for Saturday, June 17, 2023 at Atwood Park. Unlike the 5 Lake Ultra Race, this race will only have two options, a 5K trail race or 10 mile race.

Additionally, there will be a half marathon hosted at Clendenning park (about 13 miles) on Saturday, April 22, 2023, as well as a 5K and a marathon (about 26 miles) held at Tappan Park on Saturday, July 28, 2023.

The MWCD is hoping these races will draw visitors from all over the state and even the country, as well as local runners. One thing is for sure, anyone seeking a thrilling, difficult challenge will definitely have a place to find one thanks to the MWCD and Race Brimstone.

Two charged for cocaine use

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter The Court of Common Pleas began Tuesday with several arraignments.

An arraignment is the formal reading of criminal charges against a defendant. It is a pre-trial hearing in front of a judge, sometimes called an initial appearance. The purpose of the arraignment is to make the defendant aware of all charges against them and to explain their constitutional rights.

Once these things are understood, the judge is then able to set bail or bond.

The judge will receive input from both the prosecutor and the defendant before setting the bond. Then the defendant will enter a plea of either guilty or not guilty. It's common to not yet have a lawyer at this stage of proceedings, so the judge will often enter a plea of "not guilty" on the defendant's behalf.

Patrick Keels was present in court for his arraignment on charges of possession of cocaine, a felony in the second degree, and three counts of trafficking in cocaine, one felony in the third degree, the other two felonies in the fourth degree. When Judge T. Shawn Hervey asked if he had been served his indictment papers, Keels responded that he had not.

A defendant has the right to be served with indictment papers at least 24 hours before arraignment. The defendant can choose to waive this right. They may do this to speed up the trial process, but it is entirely their decision. Keels chose to waive his right to 24-hour notice to keep the trial

moving forward. The state, represented

by Prosecutor Lauren Knight, asked the judge to grant a monetary bond of $20,000. Several factors went into the state's offer: Keels' charges involve a schedule 2 narcotic, he has a long criminal history, the charges carry a mandatory prison sentence, and he was already on probation at the time of his arrest. He also has a pending revocation in another county.

The judge set the bond at $20,000 with the option to pay ten percent to be released. A ten percent option means that Keels could pay $2,000 cash instead of the full $20,000.

However, this option means he would forfeit part of that money. Once his case was over, he would receive back $1,800, whereas if he paid the $20,000, he would receive back the full amount. Keels was remanded into the custody of the Harrison County Sheriff's Office until such time as he can make bond.

Nikita Bowen, a co-defendant in Keels' case, was next for arraignment on a felony in the second-degree charge of possession of cocaine. Bowen also had not received her indictment at least 24 hours before but waived her right to it. Bowen was released on her own recognizance and will submit to a pre-trial release program.

Other arraignments included Joshua Lucas for a felony in the fifthdegree aggravated possession of drugs; and Victor Clifford for a felony in the third-degree failure to comply charge.

Both were released on their own recognizance and will be part of a pretrial release program.

Jets hand Huskies first loss

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

MORRISTOWN—The Union Local Jets were on a red-eye mission last Friday night when the Harrison Central Huskies came to town. It was a battle of two unbeaten teams and a matchup that will have lasting playoff implications as we hit the midway point of the season. Ultimately, the Jets' (4-0) powerful offense was simply too much for the Huskies to overcome. Add to that an uncharacteristic night of turnovers for Head Coach Anthony Hayes' squad, and the result is a 45-14 setback that marked the first loss of the season for the Huskies (3-1).

"It was a tough night; credit to Union Local.

They are a good football team, and they took it to us. They dominated the line of scrimmage, and that is where games are won," Hayes stated in a review of the contest.

A good football team indeed. The Jets, who are just two years removed from a 2-8 season in 2020, followed that up with a 5-5 mark that led to a playoff appearance last season. With the victory over Harrison, they have now started the past two seasons 4-0 and are doing so this year in style. To date, the Jets have outscored their opponents 188-44 and appear primed to settle in nicely to the Region 19 playoff picture.

(Currently 3rd) Union Local scored on their first play from scrimmage, as Jaksan Price hit the runway for a 73-yard scoring flight. The Huskies answered midway through the first quarter by way of the Hayden Cassidy-Tre Rex connection. Rex hauled in a 43-yard toss from Cassidy that knotted the game at 7-7. The Jets led just 13-7 after the first 12 minutes, but it was midway through the second quarter that really tilted the field in favor of the home team. After another

Cassidy to Rex touchdown (33-yards) cut the Jets lead to 21-14 with 9:46 remaining in the half, the Jets posted three unanswered scores to take a 39-14 lead into the locker rooms.

"Offensively, we couldn't move them. We knew they were pretty darn good up front, so we had to match that, and in the end, we were just not very good in that aspect of the game.

We thought that we had good matchups in the passing game, and we did hit a few big plays," Hayes stated.

The Huskies' only points did come via the passing game, but much of the night, the offense was bogged down by the turnover bug.

"We had some good opportunities, but we had six fumbles. It is hard to get in a rhythm when you do that," the head coach explained.

Through the first three weeks, the Huskies had shown no major issues with turning the ball over, and it is certainly something the coaching staff will be turning their attention to going into week five.

"Defensively, we were not gap-sound, and that created a lot of big plays for them. We didn't execute the idea of everyone doing their individual job. We were slow off the ball and not very physical. Some of that had to do with Union Local, and some of it had to do with our lack of execution. The bottom line is we did not give ourselves a chance, and we were not a sound football team. We need to get better, and that's on me to make that happen.

We have some things to fix before the East Liverpool game. We will see how we respond," Hayes stated.

Even with the disappointing loss, the Huskies are still firmly planted in the Region 17 playoff picture. With a 16-team postseason format now in effect across all of Ohio H.S. Football, Harrison has no reason to panic. The Huskies are currently projected as the 11-seed in Region 17.

HC varsity volleyball highs and lows

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer CADIZ—Last Saturday, Harrison Central’s varsity volleyball teams took on the Lady Red Devils of St. Clairsville. A five-set battle that produced a nine-point difference through the first four sets followed. A six-point difference would decide the winner in the fifth and final set and tiebreaker for the win.

Individual set scores in the first four sets ended at scores of: 23 to 25(St. C), 27 to 25(HC), 25 to 23(HC), and 23 to 25(St.C). The tiebreaker ended at 9 to 15(St.C).

On Wednesday, the Huskies were back home to face visiting Steubenville. The match lasted three sets, as the Lady Big Reds swept the junior and varsity squads. The varsity match concluded with scores of 18-25, 10-25, and 13-25. The team leaders for Harrison were AnnMarie Corder with seven Kills, Olivia Tonkovich with 17 assists, Nessa Culver with eight digs, and Doty with six points.

HC Jr. volleyball splits with Martins Ferry, Sweeps Bellaire

BY ED BANKS Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer CADIZ - The undefeated Martins Ferry junior high volleyball teams arrived in Cadiz on Monday to face Harrison Central. With both of the visitor’s teams being undefeated to date, the evening matches drew some high spectator participation from both sides. In opening the evening’s card, the seventh-grade Huskies held a little Husky pride surprise for the visiting Purple Riders.

The seventh-grade Huskies (8 and 2) opened the match by scoring 8 points before the Riders got on the scoreboard. They did not look back throughout the set and cruised to an opening score of 16 to 25. In the 2nd and final set, the Huskies were just as effective. Though Martins Ferry (7 and 1) created a 4-point lead

before the Huskies scored, it was immaterial to the outcome. The Huskies developed a good scoring rhythm and caught up to the Riders.

They put them away in the 2nd set with a final score of 17 to 25.

The Purple Riders demonstrated why they were undefeated during the eighth-grade game. Though the Huskies (now 5 and 6) did not play badly, the Riders (now 8 and 0) were more consistent in teamwork and scoring.

Martins Ferry claimed the initial set and the closing 2nd set. The match ended with scores of 25 to 12 and 25 to 15.

Tuesday became an exceptionally good day for the Harrison junior high volleyball teams.

In a pair of matches with visiting Bellaire (now 1 and 6), the Huskies showed what they could do with teamwork. The exhibit came with the seventh-grade squad as they disposed of the

Lady Big Reds in 2 sets. Though the match momentum swung back and forth, Harrison maintained a comfortable lead throughout and closed the set by scores of 22 to 25 and 21 to 25. In the 2nd set, Harrison had to overcome a small lead by the visitors to make the set even.

They went on to survive and collect the match with a 2nd set score of 21 to 25.

In the eighth-grade contest, a lot of action resembled the seventh-grade match, but while fighting minor leads in the 1st set, the Huskies (now 6 and 6) closed as winners by a score of 20 to 25. In the 2nd set Bellaire pulled out in front at times with leads of 10 points, but the Huskies never gave up. Skillful maneuvering

by Coach Tonya Mitchell methodically wore down Bellaire, and the Huskies were able to fight and pull away from the Big Reds with a 14-point advantage, a final score of 11 to 25.

Huskies lose tough one at home

Brice Tanner clearing the ball for the Huskies against Indian Creek.

BY SHARON DALTON Harrison News-Herald Sports Writer CADIZ—On Thursday, September 8, the Harrison Central boys varsity soccer team hosted Indian Creek. The Huskies held off Creek the entire first half; however, Creek found the net in the second half.

Coach Derek Gramling stated, “We played a great first half of the game and had chances.

We defended really well. We dominated the first half of the game; we just didn’t get our goal. We didn’t make our pressure pay. In the second half, we had an unfortunate injury to a captain. From that point on, they started to dominate the game. They got more chances, and eventually, they got their goals. We were so good in the first half. It was wonderful to watch. I’m proud of my boys, especially for their first-half performance. It was some of the best soccer we have played in years.” Final score IC 3 - HC 0.

Miss You Dad… It’s been 10 years since you passed away.

You are so dearly missed and loved!

You will forever be in our hearts.

Dear Ann, I’ve had the same cleaning lady for years. I just love her. She has been excellent all throughout her time in my home. I trust her and I appreciate her work. However, she’s getting older and has started accidentally breaking things and forgetting to clean typical areas. I feel terrible for thinking this, but maybe it’s time for her to retire? How could I ask her to leave after all these years?

Sincerely, Tidy Dear Tidy, That is wonderful to have had someone all these years who is trustworthy and does a good job. Since you have a good relationship with her, maybe you could casually talk and see if maybe she could fit into another area of cleaning that doesn’t require the same details, or if you could hire someone else to help her do the job if you’d still like to have her come. But as with any job, there comes a time when we must leave or change positions. If it is not practical to have multiple cleaning personnel, let her know that you really appreciate her and are so thankful for her time and effort over the years, but you are noticing the job is becoming a lot for one person to handle and you don’t expect her to continue to power through it. You never know—she may be waiting for an opportunity to quit and doesn’t want to let you down. It’s hard for people to accept that they are failing in some areas, so be gracious and loving. Give her a call or send her a card once in a while to let her know she’s still important to you after all those years.

Love, Ann

Ann is a local lady taking questions! Email her at newsroom@harrisonnewsherald.com

Good NEWS

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches PastorKenStaley@gmail.com Ok, let’s be honest. We’ve all done it. Whether it was in high school or even as adults, we see a dating or married couple, and we say, “How did he get her?” or vice/versa, “How did she get him?” “I don’t get it; I’m just not seein’ it.” Our befuddlement is usually based on the attractiveness, personality, education, etc., of one person not matching the other. As teenagers, my pals and I would always question the girl’s eyesight or wonder if she took in stray puppies as a child. Have you ever wondered if the angels in heaven look at God in all His splendor seated on the throne with His only son Jesus next to Him, and then they look at humans and say, “I don’t get it; what does He see in them?” King David wondered aloud in Psalm 8, “What is man that you are mindful of him?” Let’s face it, sometimes the pairings don’t match up the way we think they should, and for the sake of our salvation, aren’t you glad they don’t?

So how did we get from Genesis 6, where God says He regrets making man, to John 15, where Jesus says, “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I now call you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have

Love you always, Jerry & Vickie Sefsick, Kim, Steve Nameth and Families.

made known to you.” We went from persona non grata to being trusted with the Master’s business, and every bit of it was accomplished through what Jesus did on our behalf. We didn’t have a thing to do with it. In 1 Corinthians 1:30-31, Paul declares, “But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written: “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” The scholarly type like to say that Jesus’ righteousness was “imputed” to us. That’s a heady word not many of us use anymore, but as one fellow put it, “We were imputed by the One who got substituted and was willing to be executed.” However you look at it, the human race is the recipient of the greatest gift ever given and the subject of the most lopsided trade in history; we got His righteousness, and He got our sin. But we only get that righteousness when we receive it as the gift that it is.

It’s there waiting for every person on the planet to reach out and take; God doesn’t force it on us. Just like a wrapped gift that the recipient must open, every person is responsible for accepting Jesus as Lord and gratefully wearing that robe of right standing given by the Heavenly Father through Jesus. So, what does God see in us? Plenty, when He sees one of His creations choosing to be made clean by the blood of His Son. Have you taken advantage of the gift that’s waiting for you?

BY DON BETHEL Harrison County Hall of Fame Coordinator The 1997 Cadiz High School football team remains the only Harrison County football team to advance to the State Final Four Playoffs.

After qualifying for the Ohio Football Playoffs the prior season, Cadiz had a strong contingent of lettermen returning and was expecting a strong season.

The Cardinals started the season strong offensively and defensively when they whipped Sandy Valley 60-0. Cadiz outgained SV 630 yards to 77 yards, with Tailback JR Miller rushing for 156 yards and three TDs, which included a 63-yard rushing score. Colin Hardwick hauled in six passes for 147 yards and two TDs, including an 80-yarder for a score, and added an 80-yard punt return for a TD. First-year quarterback Demar Jackson threw for 274 yards with three TDs and ran for 46 more yards. Kelly Rap, Dustin Corder, and Ryan Coffman also scored touchdowns for Cadiz.

The next week Cadiz was again dominant on both sides of the ball against Steubenville Catholic Central. After a scoreless first quarter, the Cardinals rolled to a 35-0 lead midway in the third, while the Crusaders could only manage two first downs to that point. Cadiz and Steubenville CC traded two scores each for a final score of 48-14. JR Miller led the way again with 139 yards and three TDs, with Demar Jackson scoring twice and throwing a 34-yard touchdown pass to Derek Madzia.

In game three, the Cardinals welcomed the always tough Wheeling Central. The first half remained scoreless as both teams had turnovers but stood tall on defense. Cadiz broke the scoreless tie when Jackson connected on a quick pass to fullback Ryan Coffman who rumbled 58yds and carried two defenders into the endzone for a 6-0 lead. On Wheeling Central’s next possession, the Maroon Knights connected on two consecutive passes, the second being a 40-yard strike that put Central up 7-6. Late in the 3rd quarter, the Maroon Knights’ Roger Snyder broke loose for 58 yards, but Jackson ran him down at the Cardinal 8-yard line for a touchdown-saving tackle. The tough Cardinal D held on downs at the two, and the offense took the ball 98 yards in seven plays, highlighted by a 61-yard jaunt by Dustin Corder for a score. Cadiz sealed the win when Jackson ended a 12-play, 83-yard drive with an eight-yard touchdown run with 2:09 left for an 18-7 final. Jackson also threw for 145 yards to lead the Cards. Cadiz’s defense was led by Jackson, Ryan Coffman, Corder, Hardwick, defensive end Josh Willis and linebacker Joe Yarish.

In game four, Cadiz hosted a talented Wellsville team who had bested the Cardinals three years straight. The Cardinal defense bent but never broke and recorded five takeaways, including four interceptions, to put up their second shutout of the season for a 14-0 victory.

On offense, with help again from the talented receiver/returner Colin Hardwick, Cadiz scored when Jackson ran in from the five, and Miller scored from the three. Jackson had 101 yards passing and ran for another 68 yards, while Miller ran for a game high 137 yards.

Top defenders for the Cards were Jackson, who intercepted two passes, Joe Wurschum intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble, and Ryan Coffman and Joe Yarish, continued their solid play.

In game five, the Cardinals would again play at home and play another tough team in Toronto who came in at 4-0 themselves. Both teams were state-ranked, with Toronto sitting in the eighth spot and Cadiz sitting fourth.

More importantly, Toronto and Cadiz were 1&2 respectively in the computer ratings. After a scoreless first quarter, Cadiz’s potent offense had a four-play 88-yard drive that ended with a perfect Jackson to Hardwick 63-yard bomb for a score midway through the second quarter. Jackson ran in the conversion for an

8-0 lead. Once again, the defense showed up strong and held Toronto scoreless in the first half. Toronto evened the score on their first possession of the second half with a nine-play, 56-yard drive, with QB Bobby Petras going in from the one. A Petras to Mike Swearingen pass tied the game at eight. The Cadiz offense immediately responded, and after a nice return

by Hardwick, Miller took a pitch on a 3rd and one and broke loose for a 55-yard touchdown scamper. Hardwick added the conversion kick for a 15-8 Cardinal advantage. Toronto drove to the Cadiz three on their next possession, but a crushing hit jarred the ball loose, and Anthony Banks recovered for the Cardinals at the 10, ending the drive. Toronto’s final two drives were stopped by Joe Wurschum, who intercepted two Red Knight passes to secure the hard-earned 15-8 win. Along with his 55-yard, game-winning run, Miller led the offense with an impressive game-high of 201 yards rushing.

Traveling for the first time in four weeks after three tough games, Cadiz invaded a deceivingly tough 1-4 Buckeye Trail, who had been leading at the half in each game they’d played. On the opening kickoff, Trail used an onside kick to surprise the Cardinals and drove it in for a score and a 7-0 lead. Cadiz took over, and after two Miller carries netted 34 yards, Jackson and Hardwick connected on a 46yard TD pass to close the deficit to 7-6. After a defensive stop and then a Cadiz turnover, the Warriors used a four-play, 27-yard drive to extend their lead to 15-6. Cadiz drove the field and scored when Miller broke tackles from 13 yards out to make the score 15-12, but Trail drove 63 yards before the half to make it 22-12.

At the end of the 3rd quarter, Cadiz capitalized on a Trail turnover, and Miller rambled in from 27 yards out to make the score 22-18. However, following a Warrior punt, Cadiz fumbled, and Trail took over at the Cadiz 24, taking it in for a score and owning a 29–18 lead with 11:29 to go. The Cardinals stayed determined, and after another nice return by Hardwick, Cadiz scored when Jackson scampered in from 25 yards out to make the score 29-24 Warriors with 8:27 to go. The defense stiffened, and Cadiz drove into Warrior territory, but the offense couldn’t capitalize and gave the ball up on downs at the Warrior 33. Cadiz’s defense once again shut down the Trail offense, but the Warrior punt touched a Cardinal, and Trail recovered. Cadiz wouldn’t get the ball back until 29 seconds left in the game and at their own seven. After completing a pass to the 23, a Cardinal fumble was returned for a score to end the Cardinals’ 36-24 nightmare, which included a successful Trail onside kick, a successful Trail 4th down run inside their own territory, a successful Trail fake punt, four failed Cadiz extra point conversions, and four Cardinal turnovers.

Cadiz out-gained Buckeye Trail 447 yards to 272 yards, with Miller leading all rushers with 124 yards and Jackson being top passer with 218 stripes.

Next up for the Cardinals was heading to Barnesville, always a difficult place to play.

Along with that, Barnesville was a team that was on a five-game winning streak. A standing-room-only crowd witnessed a great three-quarters of football. Barnesville fans were excited when they saw a 14-0 lead in the 1st quarter, then Cadiz fans were pumped in the 2nd quarter when Hardwick returned a punt 46 yards and Miller scored from the two. And then again, when Jackson got outside to outrun everyone for a 76-yard TD run and gave Cadiz a 16-14 lead. But right before the half, Barnesville erupted when a pass was tipped around in the endzone with two ticks left before halftime that ended up in the hands of Barnesville for a 20-16 lead halfway through the game. A 3rd quarter turnover led to another Barnesville score to make it 26-16, only to see Cadiz respond when Jackson scored from the one, ending the 3rd quarter with a score of 26-24 Barnesville. In the 4th quarter, Cadiz couldn’t get out of their own way, committing three turnovers, one leading to another Barnesville touchdown for a final score of 33-22. Miller had 112 yards on the

ground with a TD and two conversions, and Jackson had 112 rushing yards with two TDs and a conversion, and passed for 118 yards.

In their third straight away game, Cadiz traveled over three hours to play a very good Waverly team. Cadiz was reeling after two consecutive losses and needed a win badly.

Unfortunately for the Cardinals, it didn’t happen on this night. Waverly played like the better team and not only grounded out 310 yards but held the Cards vaunted rushing attack to 76 yards. Waverly built a 19-0 lead until Hardwick hauled in a TD pass from Derek Madzia to make it 19-6 in the 3rd. After Waverly made it 25-6 in the 4th, Miller went in from 2yds and added the conversion for a 25-14 final score. The bright spots for the Cardinals were Jackson and Madzia combining for 210 yards passing and Joe Wurschum with another interception.

In week nine, Cadiz’s playoff hopes were in jeopardy. Every game was now a must-win.

The Cardinals were back home where they hadn’t lost while facing a formidable 5-3 Union Local team. Cadiz wasted no time jumping on the Jets as Jackson found Hardwick down the sideline, who cut inside and coasted into the endzone for a 6-0 Cardinal lead. Cadiz’s defense held, and the offense scored again, with Jackson executing a perfectly timed QB draw and outran the Union Local defense for a 57yard TD. The defense remained solid, and after a Hardwick punt that pushed the Jets back to their own 7, Union Local QB was hit while attempting to pass, and Corder picked it off and ran it in for an 18-0 lead. After Union Local was stopped on downs at the Cardinal 8-yard line, Cadiz went on a 12-play, 92-yard drive that saw Miller picking up the final 41 yards on three carries to put Cadiz up 24-0 and give Miller 129 yards in the half. The two teams traded punches in the second half until the Jets finally found paydirt in the 4th quarter, but Cadiz coasted for a much-needed 24-6 victory.

Miller rushed for 178 yards, and the starting defensive unit shined.

In game 10, Cadiz traveled to Danville for a playoff berth on the line. The Cardinals struck first when Jackson found an opening and outran the secondary for a 69-yard TD and a 6-0 Cadiz lead. Danville responded with a drive that ended with a 10-yard TD run by Charlie Marmet. The conversion was good for a 7-6 Danville advantage. Danville added another score on the last play of the first quarter on a Lynn Lyons five-yard dash to lead 14-6. Cadiz got another big play by Jackson when he found a crease and again outran the defense for a 38yard touchdown that closed the gap to 14-12 at the half. After a scoreless third quarter, Miller, who finished the game with 168 rushing yards, took matters into his own hands and busted loose for 49 yards to reach paydirt. Miller added the conversion, and Cadiz led 20-14.

After QB sacks by Jeff Fowler and Josh Willis, the Cardinals closed out the game and earned a trip to the state playoffs. The defense was led by Willis and Fowler, who also intercepted a pass.

Madzia and Corder also picked off passes for the Cards.

Reaching the playoffs for the second year in a row, the Cardinals faced a familiar foe in a quality Toronto club. In week five, Cadiz played good enough in a tough battle for a 15-8 win. In this game, however, Cadiz flexed their muscles and showed their explosiveness. In the first half, the Cardinals would jump out to a 28-6 lead and roll up over 200 yards on the ground. The damage started after Hardwick recovered a Toronto fumble at the Cadiz 42.

Six plays later, Miller would break loose for a 34-yard TD run. Jackson added the conversion for an 8-0 lead. Toronto then recovered two consecutive Cadiz fumbles that led to a Toronto score to make it 8-6 at the of the first quarter.

The second quarter was all Cadiz. A 4-yard Jackson to Hardwick TD pass cumulated a 14-play, 68-yard drive for a 14-6 advantage.

After a defensive stop, a Toronto punt started Cadiz at their own 28. The Cardinals needed only four plays to reach paydirt when fullback

Kelly Rapp busted up the middle and outran the secondary for a 47-yard TD run. A Jackson to Josh Willis conversion pass put Cadiz up 22-6 with 4:10 before half. After both defenses held, the Red Knights fumbled the Cadiz punt, and the Cardinals recovered at the Toronto 14. Three plays later, Miller scored from the one, taking the Cardinals into halftime with a commanding 28-6 lead. After halftime, Toronto had ideas of a comeback when a drive for a score and a defensive stand gave them the ball back, but linebacker Ryan Coffman ended that thought when he stepped in front of a pass and returned it 18 yards for a huge score. With Miller’s conversion run, the Cardinals were again in command at 36-14 with 10:14 to go.

Both teams would score again before the game ended, with a Jackson to Hardwick 11-yard TD pass capping the Cardinal scoring for a 42-20 final. The offensive line dominated as Cadiz would rush for over 300 yards. Miller led the Cardinal production with 191 yards rushing and two scores, along with two Jackson to Hardwick scoring passes. The defense was again strong, permitting just two scoring drives.

Madzia was the thief of the game, intercepting two Toronto passes and a conversion try.

Next up for the Cardinals was 7-time State Champion Newark Catholic. The defense shined again for Cadiz during a frigid evening where footing was at times treacherous. In the first half, the Cardinal defense would bend but never break. While the Green Wave outgained Cadiz 184 yards to 54 yards in the first half, the Cardinal defense stiffened when it mattered. The Green Wave advanced inside the Cardinal 5-yard line twice during the half, but on their first drive, the Cardinal defense jarred the ball loose, and Hardwick recovered. Cadiz then held Newark Catholic at the two as time expired in the half, keeping the Green Wave off the scoreboard for a 0-0 tie going into the locker room. In the second half, the Cards’ defense was dominant, holding Newark Catholic to 43 total yards. The offense put together a 17-play drive, taking more than eight minutes off the clock.

Cadiz hit paydirt when Miller scored from the one on his 11th carry of the drive. Jackson had a spectacular 43-yard run during the drive and had a key 4th down completion to Hardwick for a first down. Miller finished with a gamehigh 101 yards rushing, and the second-half defense was led by Joe Yarish and Corder. The 6-0 hard-earned final earned Cadiz their first and only trip to the State Final Four.

While entering new territory, standing in the Cardinals’ way to a state championship game was a dominant 12-0 Norwalk St. Paul.

Norwalk was in familiar territory; they had lost in the State Semifinal the previous season. The game remained scoreless until late in the first quarter when Norwalk used a pass theft at the Cadiz 36 and four running plays to dent the scoreboard, taking a 7-0 lead. The Cardinals hit right back at St. Paul after the ensuing kickoff, with Hardwick stepping up. After a return to their own 32, Cadiz ran two plays for minus one yard. Then Hardwick found open territory on a reverse for 25 yards, and a play later, Jackson found Hardwick for a 44-yard catch and run touchdown that brought the fans to their feet.

Jackson ran in the conversion, and Cadiz led 8-7 with 10 minutes to go in the half. The defense remained tough against the talented St. Paul squad, who only managed to try a field goal that failed in the waning moments of the half. The Cardinals, who lost star running back JR Miller to injury early in the first quarter on a questionable hit, still managed to gain 281 on the ground but couldn’t reach the endzone again. Norwalk used an 18-play, 94yd drive to take the lead in the third quarter and sealed the win with a 4th quarter 25-yard field goal.

The Cardinals would reach the Norwalk 10 after a 42-yard Jackson to Wurschum pass, but the drive stalled on downs, resulting in a hard-fought final loss 17-8, ending the Cadiz Cardinal dream season. The Cardinals played excellent, leading Norwalk in first downs 1514, and Cadiz out-gained St. Paul in total yards 366-298.

HALL OF FAME

Lakeland High Cadiz High

George Bomboris

Gene Banks

Bill Wood

George Bomboris, a 1971 Franklin High School graduate, lettered ten times throughout his sports career. George was quarterback/linebacker for the New Athens football team of only 13 players. In basketball, Bomboris started every game but one, not making the tip-off because of a personal emergency and returning to enter in the first quarter. Bomboris averaged 13 points a game, had high games of 28 points multiple times, and joined with teammate and County HOFer Rick Ferri to help lead his 1970-71 Bobcat basketball team to a #2 State Ranking.

While George was a great all-around athlete, his dominant sport was baseball. While hitting a blistering .440 for his career, Bomboris excelled at pitching and catching, throwing three no-hitters his senior season. Against Smithfield, George threw a no-hitter and hit three home runs. George would also play for Bob Mazeroski and Maynard Legion for four years, hitting over .300 for his Legion career. Bomboris starred in the Ohio Valley Baseball League for 27 years and helped lead Lafferty to multiple championships as a staple All-Star Team catcher.

George’s toughness is legendary. After fracturing his finger from a foul tip in high school and finding the cast cumbersome, he ripped off his cast, tied his fingers together, and hit a double.

At age 38, George had his appendix removed and was back on the field in just over a week. Bomboris had his stitches rip when he dove into second base after hitting a gap shot, and later in the same game, pitched relief during the 7th inning, shutting down Elm Grove for the win with blood showing through his uniform. George stated, “I was all that was left to throw, and I wanted to win, and then I visited the hospital to get stitched back up.” No big deal for Bomboris, one of the fiercest competitors ever to grace Harrison County.

George is currently retired and helps around Belmont Hills Country Club to keep busy. Bomboris has two daughters, Laura and Stephanie, and two sons, Ben and Sam.

Gene Banks, a 1969 Hopedale High School graduate, is the first to join the Hall of Fame as an athlete/volunteer. Gene played running back for the Comets and once scored 44 points in a single game. During the Spring, Gene led an 880 relay team that went unbeaten and won the Shadyside Relays. Banks was also a dedicated 30-year volunteer for Iddy Biddy Football.

Gene took advantage of being one of the first in the family permitted to play high school sports. He had a great sophomore and junior season. His senior athletic season was cut short after football when Gene turned 19 and was not permitted to play.

But when Banks did play, he ran fast and with abandon. With multiple long runs for scores during the season, Gene became known as “crazy legs” Banks. Against Jewett, Gene ran in four touchdowns, caught two touchdown passes, had a 90-yard kickoff return for a score, and added a 2-point conversion. Banks’ stat line for the game remains as one of, if not “the” greatest offensive performance in Harrison County history. Banks had 18 carries for 262 yards, five receptions for 94 yards, a 90-yard KO return, seven TDs, and a 2-point conversion for 44 points and 446 total yards.

In the spring, Gene’s talents went to track and field. Banks was the anchor of a season-long unbeaten streak by their 880 relay team. Banks teamed with Paul Culver, Jim Gregory, and Gene’s younger brother Connie Banks to run the table and put up some of the best times in the valley. Hopedale track team was invited to join the relays at Shadyside, and not only did Hopedale win the 880 relay in convincing fashion, Hopedale won the entire event.

After high school, Gene was asked to play college football, but he felt obligated to defend his country. He was stationed in Fort Polk, Louisiana, and spent over six years in the Army and Army Reserves. Gene, also a long-time respected basketball official, has been married to Penny Barret for 42 years with sons Anthony, Jason, and Aric, and daughters Tiffany, Julie, and Patricia.

Bill Wood is a 1961 Cadiz High School graduate. Bill was a rugged fullback and defensive back with speed who started at both positions three years for the Cardinals. Bill was selected to the Eastern Ohio Athletic League All-Star Team and WWVA All-Star fullback.

Bill also set a school record in the spring during track in the 180-yard low hurdles, and he qualified for State in the 880-yard relay.

While he loved running the ball, Bill went on to play football for Staunton Military Academy under Dick Steinberg as a starting defensive back, and Wood helped the team to a Military League Title. Wood led a defense that went unscored upon in league play. After the season, Coach Steinberg, who went on to be an executive in the NFL, recommended Wood to Miami University, and Bill accepted a scholarship to play football. A year later, Wood would spend the rest of his football career under Bo Schembechler, who took over as coach. Proud to graduate from the “Cradle of Coaches” University, Wood got into coaching after college. After seven years of teaching and coaching, Bill went back to school and landed in school administration, serving as principal and then assistant superintendent for twelve years before retiring in 2005. After years of coaching, teaching, and administration service, Wood was inducted into the Warren County Educational Service Center Hall of Fame.

Bill Married Karen Kaemming. They have a son, Brian, and a daughter, Tracy.

K im Luyster

Jerry Luyster

R andy Luyster

Kim Luyster is a 1974 Lakeland High School graduate and will remain as the Raiders’ sixth highest scorer in history. Kim averaged just under a double-double in points and rebounds for his 4-year career and teamed with his brother Randy for two years that produced 34 wins. In the ‘71-’72 season, the two brothers led Lakeland to an 18-2 regular season record and capped off the season when they reached the district finals before a tough 53-51 loss to Zanesville Roscrans, ending their great run. As a junior, Luyster averaged 14.9ppg and scored a season high of 25 points against Springfield, scored 20 points with 15 rebounds against a talented Conotton Valley team, and scored 21pts in a victory over County rival Cadiz. Luyster would find ways to score when and how he could. In a twist against Cadiz and their 6’8” talented center Howie Wheeler, Luyster got creative and tossed in two hook shots, the first hook shots he’d ever attempted. As a senior, Kim took over the team leadership role and averaged 19.1ppg and over 11 rebounds a game. Luyster went on a run when he scored 20 points in five straight games and had a career-high against Jewett-Scio when he scorched the nets for 35 points. Kim would top 20 points that season 12 times and had a great day when he scored his 1000th point on his birthday during a 75-61 Raider victory over Springfield. Kim was also a relentless defender and known for his uncanny shot-blocking ability. His defense and 21 points in the state tournament game just fell short of defeating highly touted Zanesville when Lakeland fell 45-44 to end his high school basketball career. Luster was named All-Ohio after the season for his efforts.

After high school, Luyster worked for Cravat Coal, drove truck, and worked for Barbour Books, a religious book company. Kim married his high school sweetheart Marilyn Dunlap, who sadly passed away from cancer. Kim and Marilyn had three sons, Jason, Travis, and Kyle.

Jerry Luyster is a 1970 Lakeland High School graduate.

Luyster would score all but 40 of his points in two years, and his all-around play made him the perfect player. As the second of four great Luyster brothers to grace the Freeport gym for nine consecutive years, Jerry teamed with his current HOFer brother Denny to bring Freeport one of their best defensive seasons in the long history of Raider’s roundball. It was vintage Raider basketball, as Jerry led a relentless defense that surrendered only 48 points per game, which led the Eastern District.

Jerry could also be devastating on offense, especially against Harrison County League teams. As a senior, Jerry averaged just under 23 points per game against HC League opponents, which remains the fourth-best Lakeland average all-time, and led to a 9-1 Lakeland League record. Jerry would pop the nets for 31 points in a win against Scio that season. In an important overtime win against Franklin, Luyster would have one of the top performances in Lakeland history when he pumped in 36 points and pulled down 14 rebounds in a pivotal 89-83 win.

Only six Lakeland players have had better scoring than in those two games. Jerry became one of only 13 Freeport and Lakeland players to have multiple 30-point games in a single season. Jerry would score over 20 points 10 times during his senior campaign, which carried him to over 400 season points, one of the highest single-season point totals in Lakeland history. In his last three years, Jerry’s teams won an impressive 48 games. Jerry will also remain as the 10th best free throw shooter in Lakeland history, with a .724 career average, including a junior season when he hit at a .773 pace. Luyster would end his career with one of Lakeland’s top tournament games in history when he poured in 24 points against West Muskingum. Jerry ran track in the spring, excelling for four years.

After high school, Luyster worked for Cravat Coal, Anco Mining, and retired from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Jerry has two daughters, Niki and Jeri.

Randy Luyster is a 1973 graduate of Lakeland High School.

Randy was the point guard of the family and redefined the point guard position for Raider basketball. Luyster set school records for free throws made and attempted, and helped lead the Raiders to 50 wins in his three seasons. Randy could drain from the outside or drive past defenders for a layup and/or foul.

Randy earned his way into the lineup his freshman season and helped lead Lakeland to their last County League title.

Luyster led the team in assists and showed he could also score when he put up 18 points in a 56-48 win over Union Local.

Randy pinched a nerve in his back and missed his entire sophomore season but came back strong as a junior, teaming with younger brother Kim and current HOFer Nick Puskarich to help lead Lakeland to an outstanding 21-3 ledger to break the Raider record for wins in a season. The Raiders could be dominant, defeating their opponents by 10 points or more an amazing 17 times that year, including sweeping the three-game sectional tournament by an average of 20 points per game.

Randy would score over 20 points six times that season. It took Randy only 2-1/2 quarters to score a season-high of 28 in the 73-41 sectional final win against Brilliant. Luyster scored in double figures an impressive 21 times that season, scoring 380 points, which was good enough for the fifth-best season scoring output for a junior. He also would attempt an incredible 200 free throws and make 142 of them; both remain Lakeland records for a season. Senior year, he led the way to 16 wins and shot .744 from the line. Luyster would score his career high of 29 points against Jewett-Scio, even though his time on the floor was limited in the 82-66 whipping. Randy became only the second player ever to be named “Mr. Raider” for multiple years.

After high school, Randy worked for Cravat Coal for 16 years, drove a mail contractor truck for 9 years, and retired from Belmont Corrections after 18 years of service. Luyster married his high school sweetheart Debbie Simpson. They will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary next year and have three daughters, Amy, Amanda, and Beth.

Defining homesteading isn’t always straightforward. For me, it’s simplicity.

It’s about being one with God. All I do is put that seed in the ground or a pot. I water and feed it, but God provides everything. Without me, seeds still sprout. God provides the rain and the sunshine, the warm nights and days. I’ve been doing this for forty years and am always in awe of seeing that seed come to life. I love to take the time to stop and just enjoy the beauty of what God has done.

You’ve planted a seed, and that’s all you’ve done; He does the rest.

Homesteading is an individual thing. If you don’t like being outside, you won’t like homesteading. You’ve got to enjoy being outdoors and love nature. I love being outside and making a garden. I have sunflowers, zinnias, and a whole, well, I call it my whimsical garden. I can walk through it and enjoy the birdsong, buzzing bees, all the butterflies that visit, and the hummingbirds. It’s a beautiful place to spend time. That’s a very important part of homesteading for me.

Some may want to focus on raising animals, while others may want to start a big garden or might look into raising just a few vegetables. It all depends on what the individual wants to do. Some homesteaders want to live off-grid and provide extra food for their families. Homesteading is about all of those things and more.

SHERIFF’S OFFICE 9/7 – Dispatch received a frantic 911 call from a child saying her babysitters were unconscious and not breathing. The call dropped due to poor service, but the child was able to call back and give an address. A Tuscawaras squad made it to the scene before deputies and reported a male lying in the driveway, unconscious and clutching a loaded rifle. At this point, the child was removed from the scene to a safe location. When deputies arrived, they searched a second male who was barely responsive. A plastic baggie containing a crystal rock-like substance was found on this male. The child was placed with their grandmother. Contact has been made for a court order to remove the child due to this and past incidences at the location.

9/8 – A deputy observed a car going above the posted speed limit during regular patrolling. During the traffic stop, the driver and all passengers were cooperative but seemed nervous, making the deputy “believe more criminal activity may be afoot.” He was given consent to search the vehicle, and as the passengers got out, one woman had a large purse and seemed nervous. She permitted a search, and the deputy immediately found raw and burnt marijuana, a glass smoking device commonly used with meth, small rocks of a crystal-like substance, and a plastic baggie with suspected meth. This was seized as evidence, and the woman was not arrested due to lack of jail space. The driver was given a verbal warning for her speed.

9/9 – Deputies were dispatched to a call for juveniles claiming to have a gun in a park in Jewett. When deputies arrived, the only person in the park, an adult male, said he had not seen any juveniles around. Deputies identified the male as Greg Virtue, and he left the park without incident. However, deputies then learned Virtue had a warrant out for his arrest. They made contact with him again and took him into custody.

9/10 – While attending an event at Sally Buffalo Park, deputies were approached by a felony probation officer foreman who inquired about Rodrick Cowans having a warrant.

Deputies verified he had a warrant and the officer pointed out Cowans, who was leaving

Dennison the park at the time. Deputies followed him, conducted a traffic stop, and arrested him.

A deputy working traffic enforcement observed a vehicle with a broken headlight driving over the posted speed limit. He initiated a traffic stop, and the driver, Joshua Siegenthaler, agreed to perform sobriety tests, all of which he failed. He was arrested and taken to jail, where he “respectfully declined” to take a BAC test. His passenger was able to take control of the vehicle. Siegenthaler was given a list of his charges, and a court date, then released to his passenger.

9/12 – A juvenile reported to DJFS that his foster mom had threatened to harm him. The child claimed his foster mom had attacked him unprovoked, hitting his arm and threatening to stab him with a butter knife. The deputy confirmed there were no marks where he claimed to have been hit and made contact with the foster mom. She said that she’d been asking the juvenile to clean his room for several weeks and had grabbed his arm when she’d discovered he still hadn’t cleaned, to pull him into his room, telling him to clean it now. The juvenile threatened to call the police on her and the two separated for the night. She denied ever hitting the youth.

Deputies attempted to contact the child’s father, but he was unavailable.

9/13 – A deputy returned to the office when dispatch advised there was a man in the lobby refusing to leave, claiming he had an arrest warrant. When the deputy arrived, a truck was in the parking lot with a woman sitting in the passenger seat. The deputy made contact with the woman, who had clearly been drinking, and she said she had no idea why she and the male were there. The deputy went inside and made contact with the male, Kevin Srock. Srock said he’d been looking at court paperwork and saw he had a warrant out of Medina county. He also stated he was violating a protection order because he was with the woman in the truck, who he said was his wife. Srock said if he had a warrant, he wanted to deal with it. Dispatch found no warrants, but he was arrested for violating the protection order. He said this was the fifth time he’d violated a protection order.

Deputies were called to a Scio residence for a male making suicidal comments. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with both the male and his girlfriend. Both parties said they had a minor verbal argument, and the male made the comment “for attention in the heat of the argument.” The girlfriend said he had made no other comments and had not attempted to harm himself. She believed he only commented out of anger. The scene was cleared without incident.

By Esther McCoy I want to say thanks to all who sent condolences for the very unexpected death of my younger sister, Dorothy Toth, on September 3. There will be a memorial service on October 9, with more information to come. Something like this sweeps you off your feet, and thoughts of her coming to our home when Darin was born and helping me so much comes to mind.

She was a baker to compete with bakeries and always made goodies for birthdays, showers, and other events. I hope there is a need for desserts in heaven as I am sure she will want to stir up a cake batter or cookie dough. We loved you, Dot, as she was mostly known. Say "I love you" every day as you don't want to have them leave without hearing those words.

A one-year commemoration and appreciation dinner was held in the new addition at the Farm Inn, outside of Emerson.

The Farm was utilized for years but considered too small for all who wanted to enjoy the homestyle food and great desserts. The bread pudding is exceptional. The dinner was for the 1-year anniversary of the Rev. Craig Smith, who attended and graduated from Smithfield High School in 1972, the last year the school existed. We appreciate his interest in our church and all who attend. Last Sunday, we had 17 seated in the pews, an increase of about five members. We just need to get some young people in our downstairs area where there was once ten or more youth.

The trip to the Algonquin Festival outside of Carrollton was very nice as always, but we went on Sunday; it was raining, and the ground was a little soggy. We wandered through the frontier village but didn't see anything of Carl Glenn, as he and Aimee camp there when time is available. They both have buckskin clothing and look very authentic.

I was surprised to see my picture with Cameron Best at the Jefferson County Fair. We purchased one of his hogs, and he came out into the audience, Cameron, not the hog, to thank me. Lamont was also supposed to be in the photo but was leaning off to the side. We saw some of the best hogs being fed marshmallows on a wire holder used at barbecues. They enjoy these treats. I don't know how the Best family learned about their taste for sweets.

I missed putting out flags at homes along our County Road 20 for Patriot Day. It was also Grandparents Day, and I didn't get any cards either. I will have to remember September 16 as POW/MIA recognition day. Also, September 18 is the U.S. Air Force's birthday, starting in

The brothers played for Lakeland from 1965 thru 1974 with an overall mark of 114 wins and 68 losses with combined scoring of just shy of 4000 points collectively.

They are sons of the late Dean & Beverly Luyster of Moorefield. The induction will take place on September 23 at 6:00 p.m. at the John Stephenson Center next to the Wagner football field in Cadiz. Former Lakeland basketball coach Gary Caviness will speak about his career while attending Lakeland High School.

Congratulations to them and their families.

Brightside wakes up Jewett

‘I wanted to make a difference’

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

Brightside has been drawing quite the crowd in Jewett each Wednesday night as the Queen of Hearts jackpot continues to rise. Jewett officers blocked off roads for overflow parking and traffic staff guided newcomers through the maze of parked vehicles scattered through town. Icecream Isalnd made an appearance with their icecream truck and event attendees bumped shoulders as they sought a place to stand and wait for the drawing.

The Queen of Hearts jackpot soared over $169,000 and will continue to grow becuase the winning card has not yet been chosen. For those willing to brave the crowd, Brightside Tavern will be selling tickets until 7:15 next Wednesday. Only seven cards are left unturned.

LOOK AT THE PAST South Main Street, Cadiz, OH

By Susan Adams

One can see the Harrison National Bank at the square. When built, it was of modern architecture and beauty and was to be an ornament to this section of the city. Behind it is the Drummond UM Church built about 1871 at the cost of $25,000. (It and the First Presbyterian Church at the corner of S. Main and W. Warren (built 1869 for $20,000) were made from bricks from the Greer Brick Works that was located where Wendy’s is today.) The building on the right with the awning was the Woods-Wright Store. E.M. Long (who built the current courthouse) built this building in 1899.

Biggs & Beatty laid out the town of Cadiz in 1804.

The town of Cadiz was first incorporated

on May 29, 1818. On October 5, 1874, businesses and dwelling houses in Cadiz were lit with gas for the first time. In September 1890, telephones were installed in Cadiz. By April 1900, 110 telephones were in Cadiz businesses and houses. In June 1892, The Cadiz Electric Light & Power Company, with capital stock of $15,000, was incorporated. The electric lights were turned on at Cadiz for the first time on December 26, 1892. The plant caught fire on February 18, 1915, and the town was without power for several days. On April 6, 1893, they voted to construct a water works at Cadiz.

On November 12, 1908, Cadiz got free mail delivery, and numbers had to be placed on houses and names on streets at all street intersections. Some of this information came from the book “Cadiz Year by Year 18681940” by Harry B McConnell. Other info and picture from the collection at HCHS. No date on the picture.

CADIZ—Lauren Knight has been prosecuting attorney for Harrison County since 2021 and continues to make a difference in the lives of many county residents. In the courtroom, she’s calm, collected, and always professional. She is the youngest elected female attorney in Ohio and takes her job seriously.

Knight grew up in the area, graduated high school in 2009, and went to college in Marietta. After earning her bachelor’s degree in political science, she furthered her studies at law school in Akron. Knight secured a job with the previous prosecutor, Owen Beetham, and worked for him until the end of 2019. At that time, she decided to run for county prosecutor.

Despite dealing with COVID shutdowns in early 2020, the voter turnout was good partly due to Knight’s initiative to send out absentee voting instructions to many in the county.

The prosecutor’s office handles the legal counsel for government officials countywide.

While each village has its own solicitor, Knight is the go-to person for trustees, the county commissioners, and almost everyone else. She doesn’t run everything alone; she has Assistant Prosecutor Jack Felgenhauer in her office. He handles abuse, neglect, and dependency cases.

He also handles all the misdemeanors and child support cases. This has allowed Knight to transition into handling all felony cases in addition to her regular civic duties.

Knight said she ran for prosecutor for a few reasons. “I wanted to make a difference,” she said. “I’m invested in the outcomes [of local cases] because I live here, I’m part of the community. I want it to be a safe place to live.”

Knight was on the road to becoming an attorney before college and said it was partially a love of public speaking that made her look into the profession. “I don’t know why, but I wanted to go into a field where that was an option. As far as becoming an attorney, it’s not that glamorous; it’s a lot of paperwork,” Knight laughed. “I went to an educational event with my mom about estates and estate law. Then I kind of morphed into criminal law.”

The transition was a no-brainer for Knight as she continued her education. She stated, “I think there are a lot more lives you can touch and people you can help in criminal law.”

Knight has a love for the community and a passion for justice. She regularly sees the dark side of humanity but doesn’t let that discourage her efforts.

Knight said, “I want to be able to be the person to say ‘no, that’s not okay. I understand this happened to you, and we don’t want it to happen to anyone else. How can we make that happen?’ That’s important to me.”

Prosecuting Attorney Lauren Knight continues to be an invaluable asset to the county as she works through many criminal cases. She maintains efforts to keep the community safe.
