1 $1.00 Cadiz, OhiO SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2017 Local officials scramble to deal with post office closure CADIZ News of the United States Post Office in Cadiz closing hit fast taking everyone by surprise last ursday and Friday.... either way you re looking at a considerable amount of time, in my opinion, before this issue is completely resolved. Cadiz Village Administrator Charley Bowman Now, local officials have circled the wagons meeting with each other in various impromptu settings in efforts to organize a plan to let government officials know they are not letting their local post office fade away. Letters sent by the U.S. Postal Service late last ursday afternoon were received sometime after 4 p.m. and addressed to: "Dear Cadiz Postal Customer" informing them that the Cadiz Post Office was closing business at the East South Street location. Customers had begun doing business from the side door since late winter and early spring of this year because of structural damage discovered during roof replacement. What workers discovered early on was that the front wall had begun separating from the main building, but after a longer assessment of the building, much more damage to the structure was discovered. What was found, according to USPS spokesperson Dave Van Allen was that cracks were spotted on all four walls and empty spaces were discovered under the flooring, as well as cracking in the flooring itself. e letter delivered to customers last week read in part: "An in-depth USPS (United States Postal Service) safety and health investigation of the Cadiz Post Office building has identified substantial deterioration in its structural integrity." Van Allen stated that the additional deterioration is what took so long for the investigation. Cadiz Village Administrator Charley Bowman stated that action is being planned and the village s preference for exactly what they want is moving forward. At this point it s more of a matter of the council and the mayor passing a resolution intending it to the appropriate federal authorities that we want to maintain a post office in Cadiz, preferably at the same location, See SCRAMBLE PG. 3 Former probation officer pleads to two felony counts Two arrested in Cadiz drug bust CADIZ Tuesday, Janel McGowan-Banks, 39, finally made another appearance in Harrison County's Common Pleas Court before Judge Linton Lewis. is time, though, McGowan-Banks pleaded guilty to two third degree felony counts: eft in office and tampering with records. McGowan-Banks, who worked as a probation officer on the main floor in county court last appeared in court at the beginning of summer but will now see finality to her fate before the year is over. McGowan-Banks, who was represented by Steven A. Stickles appeared much more emotional than previous appearances as Lewis read the terms before signing the waiver of a jury trial. She wiped away tears as Stickles stated his request of an Ohio Risk Assessment (ORAS) and that she would plead to the two counts on the original indictment. Special Prosecutor Stephanie Anderson stated in court that restitution would be paid in the amount of $24,019.50, which was $4,000 more than she had roughly estimated after her last appearance months ago. Anderson said McGowan-Banks had also agreed to pay the cost of the audit, which Stickles said was $3,629. Stickles also confirmed that the more than $24,000 figure was the full amount of restitution, as well. ere is no joint recommended sentence by the parties Stickles explained adding that the state was free to ask any sentence they pleased, but that the sentence handed down be appropriate in this matter. McGowan-Banks, per Lewis, is facing maximum penalties of three years in prison on each count; a $10,000 fine for each count and sentences to run consecutively, as well. Anderson stood to clarify one issue and that was the $10,000 maximum fine, which she said McGowan-Banks had previously thought it was $5,000. Anderson also made special note that McGowan-Banks would be forever barred from serving in public NH Photo JD LONG Janel McGowan-Banks pleaded guilty Tuesday to two felony counts after an investigation led to missing money in Harrison County Court where she worked as a probation officer. Many of her colleagues were present as she became emotional at times. She faces possibly two three-year sentences to run consecutively plus stiff fines. Sentencing was held off until she completes an ORAS. office. She is forever barred from holding a position of public office or public trust and I just wanted to make sure that was placed on the record, Anderson stated to Judge Lewis. She also had no objection to continuing previous bond, which McGowan- Banks had been on her own recognizance since the charges were filed. Anderson said sentencing could take place in a month or two from now once an ORAS is completed, which is used as an aid in sentencing. Also, Timothy Jones who led authorities on a high-speed chase back in June, which ended when he crashed his vehicle into a New Athens police cruiser sat before Judge T. Shawn Hervey for a pre-trial conference. Jones again appeared without counsel, which has been his wish as stated in the past. Public Defender C. Adrian Pincola has been appointed as a standby to offer assistance if needed. Hervey noted two motions Jones had filed but informed him that they were not passed onto the prosecution, as Hervey reminded him he had to do. He also revealed that Jones was a moderate risk for recidivism as the result of his ORAS he was ordered to take. Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Bruzzese then requested Jones be administered a mental evaluation based on past courtroom statements Bruzzese said he had made. He noted that one had already been done but inferred that that was not enough. Based upon some of the representations and statements made last time in court I do have concerns over Mr. Jones mental capacity and his ability to represent himself Bruzzese stated after Hervey asked him if he was seeking a competency evaluation. Bruzzese continued by stating he wanted to make sure that Jones s rights were protected. He s certainly entitled to represent himself but he has made again some statements through court he said that he had been moving state to state to avoid people that are after him, Bruzzese explained. He added that Jones was not cross examined for See PLEADS PG. 3 CADIZ Tuesday evening, the Cadiz Police conducted a drug bust after a surprisingly brief investigation, according to Sgt. Ron Carter and Cadiz Police Chief Ryan McCann. Chief Ryan McCann would like to report that after about a 30 minute investigation, the Cadiz Police Department conducted a controlled buytraffic stop where officers seized 1.1 grams of brown powder (believed to be heroin) and.4 grams of white rock substance (crack), according to the press release. e traffic stop led officers to consent to search an East Market Street residence where officers seized 3.2 grams of brown powder (heroin), 1.1 grams white rock substance (crack), three marijuana plants that were growing in pots, and several items of paraphernalia. Carter stated that he worked undercover as the contact for the two suspects by texting via a cell phone he used. e two female suspects, both from California, had just moved to Cadiz and were selling the drugs to pay bills, according to Carter. He also added that the suspects were very cooperative, and gave no resistance. Totals from the bust came to 4.3 grams of brown powder that are suspected to be heroin and 1.5 grams of white rock suspected to be crack. McCann stated they won t know officially until results come back from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). Both suspects were taken into custody but according to Carter, only one was held and could appear in County Court ursday. Jameika Edwandya was taken into custody and held as she claimed the drugs were all hers, according to Carter. e other suspect, Sabrina Ann Miller, was also taken into custody but was not held. Carter stated she could see charges at a later date. She also had a second driver s license on her possession with the last name of Staton. Carter said Edwandya has a history of prior drug charges. Along with the two female suspects, the press release also stated that child services were contacted for a nine year-old child. Edwandya faces trafficking charges as well as endangering children and several more charges pending. e second female was released pending charges. e child remains in care of the department of child services. is investigation from my officers was conducted quick and with everyone working together allowed us to get more drugs off the streets, [I] couldn t be more pleased with my officers, McCann stated in his press release.

2 2 HARRISON NEWS-HERALD AREA Saturday, September 9, 2017 Salt bids main topic at commissioners meeting CADIZ Wednesday, it was announced that purchases for salt had to be re-bid because of a missed deadline back in May, according to Doug Crabtree of the Harrison County Engineer s Office. e county had been a part of the state purchasing program last year but Crabtree stated that he had missed that deadline. After being contacted by Cargill -- who has the state bid -- inquiring about the county bidding for salt, it was determined that they were not on the state s list any longer. After contacting the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) he said they were still willing to put us on the state bid purchase price, which he quoted as $ Crabtree said they would be guaranteed Cargill would deliver the salt at that price. With that being said salt bids are due today, he informed the commissioners asking if they should be opened after receiving the positive feedback from ODOT. He also passed on County Engineer Rob Sterling s wish to get back on the state purchasing price but it was acknowledged that the same process and resolution would need passing. So we re recommending that we take that state purchase price Crabtree said. e bids Crabtree received were opened anyway after conferring with Harrison County Prosecutor Owen Beetham after he was told there was no contract. Crabtree then opened the three bids with the highest coming in at $76.25 from Morton Salt of Chicago. Compass Minerals (Kansas) was the lowest with a bid of $61.15 delivering to Cadiz and $59 if delivered to the Freeport location. American Rock Salt of New York came in at nearly the same price as Compass, which was $61.27 to deliver at both locations. e commissioners eventually decided to table those bids and withhold a decision on the ODOT resolution but Crabtree stated later that it was more than likely based on common sense that the county would return to the state purchasing price considering the state s price was $15 to $30 per ton lower than the three bids received. Crabtree also requested and received a notice for approval of a following fund transfers which amounted to $42,000. He said this is a transfer that has already been appropriated and be used to purchase utility pickup trucks for use at the service garage. e commissioners also touched on the situation with the post office that has now been abandoned for the time being. After some discussion Commissioner Paul Coffland stated he had filled out some paperwork for the United States Postal Service (USPS) could deal with the county. But again, our relationship was, we re secondary to the village and anything we can do to aid them we re willing to do, Coffland explained. But at this point they didn t think the senators had a whole lot of to do with that. Joyce Klinger, a member of the Harrison County Concerned Citizens Group, stated that her responses from some elected officials was hot and cold but said Senator Sherrod Brown (D) to be very helpful and so I think it s just another step that maybe the village can use She also acknowledged that the commissioners could only do so much considering they serve the county and not just one village. Commissioner Don Bethel stated that they could make calls on behalf of Cadiz and do whatever they could upon request. It affects us at the county level, Coffland explained. I mean we have post office boxes that our agencies need to do business with and obviously we re going to have to change the way we do day to day operations. New Athens council saddened by employee resignation, harassment claims NEW ATHENS e village of New Athens has found themselves in the middle of a few controversies the past few months with one of them being the firing of police officer Natasha Dowdle, which was denied by Mayor Joe Petro and now the recent resignation of a village employee. e employee discussed at Wednesday s New Athens meeting, which was moved due to the Labor Day holiday, was Chris Giesey who is also the husband of Village Administrator Tosha Giesey, as well as her being the daughter of council member Mark Arnold. e issue brought out was not only of him resigning last month, just three weeks after being hired, but also the alleged harassment towards him. Petro opened the discussion by announcing Chris resignation for the record since he resigned after council s last meeting. Council member Nancy Martin described from notes what Chris claimed he had been enduring leading up to his resignation. What Martin described in the meeting were nails being placed in front of the village garage and placed in front of his wife s (Tosha) vehicle that carried his children plus his nephew and nieces. None of that ever got said; none of that ever got put in our minutes and I feel that is wrong, Martin continued, which Arnold agreed. Tosha stated that her water faucet had been turned on when no one was home leaving it running. She also confirmed that nails were left underneath their automobile. Later by phone she stated that Chris had basically been stalked with a vehicle being parked in front of their home on many occasions and Chris being followed. e complaints stemmed from the accusation of nepotism but what is perplexing about the situation is that Tosha is related to both candidates, the other candidate that was not hired being a cousin. Tosha stated that she completely removed herself from the hiring process and refused to take her husband s application and resumé to the office. She did add that the other candidate s application was dropped off at her home where she did take that one to the office as a courtesy. I completely stepped aside and did not get involved, Tosha stated regarding Chris s hiring. I excused myself from everything. She noted that Arnold did sit in on the hiring process but also excused himself from voting. Village Administrator Travis Collins confirmed that the Ohio Ethics Committee cleared the hiring stating it was permitted and that no wrongdoing had occurred. Tosha said that she requested Collins make the submission, which came about last spring. Collins described the process as screening the applicants by removing Tosha from decision making regarding Chris and handing it to the mayor. He said they had to follow proper procedures, which he said they did and were cleared. Martin continued by stating that it has been the same two individuals that have continually come to the municipal building asking for minutes of meetings, the hiring process and even when Tosha was hired and other information, which Collins said was public information, including her job description. Discussion regarding what the village must release as public record also surrounded the main topic. Arnold felt that minutes to meetings should not be released until they have been approved. Council mostly agreed citing a hypothetical situation where they might need to guard against someone intentionally placing something erroneously in the minutes without council s approval of the actual minutes. Fiscal Officer Kelley Fulton stated that minutes from meetings should be typed up anywhere from 24 to 48 hours after a meeting. Leading off the meeting was Arnold announcing that two applications had been submitted for the open position where they planned to set up another interview process before making a recommendation. e sooner the better, Martin said, like yesterday.

3 Saturday, September 9, 2017 HARRISON NEWS-HERALD AREA 3 Jewett addresses water complaints JEWETT On the heels of several water line breaks the Village of Jewett has experienced over the summer, council members acknowledged complaints concerning their water from some residents. I ve had an awful lot of complaints and phone calls of the water, Clerk of Water and Public Affairs Rhonda Mihalco informed council. Council member Rick Meneely immediately agreed, which led to a lengthy discussion over what to do about the problem. I know we don t have the money but what can we do? Mihalco asked. When she asked if council thought the water would clear up in time, Meneely stated that it had already been discussed and he said they just didn t know. He asked if flushing the hydrants as they ve been doing might be the cause. He also commented that after their new reservoir was installed the water flow was reversed and wondered if that might have something to do with the coloration of the water. My understanding is when they stopped doing it is because they were having a bunch of water line breaks, Council member Bo Bailie said regarding the ceasing of hydrant flushing. Village employee Charley Harris confirmed they were continuing to add phosphates to the water when asked. When asked if the pump was working in order to administer the proper amount of phosphates, Harris replied that he followed a list citing approximately three pounds per gallon, without having the list with him. Bailie asked if the levels were checked every day and Harris stated that it was. Meneely again asked if the brownish color could be the result of the water being reversed and Bailie stated it could be. It was smooth and now it s coming back the other way, Meneely said. at s why I was thinking [of] flushing the hydrants once a week and flushing them heavy When Meneely asked where they could begin that process, the discussion continued on where the water was coming from compared to its previous flow and if that might be the cause. When you make improvements like this you got to expect something like this, Bailie explained. It s just something we need to work through. Council member Dennis Hirschbach explained that when reversing the flow of the water the inside lining of the pipes could be breaking off, initially making the water worse by flushing but probably would help. He agreed with Bailie that flushing from the east end to the west was a good idea. We re working on it, Mayor Dwight Busby said when Mihalco asked what to tell residents. e issue of delinquent water bills also surfaced again when Meneely asked about the village giving out warnings, which he thought they had already passed that procedure. Village Solicitor Jenna Hokes informed council that those warnings have to be in long form. Mihalco told Hokes that water bills were sent last week with the appropriate warnings included. e deadline was noted as the 20th of this month and Police Chief Ron Carter stated the number of delinquent bills was at 84, which stunned some council members. Meneely asked why the village can t just send the bill forcing residents to pay, which Hokes replied that it was not an ordinance connected to an ORC (Ohio Revised Code) code. Meneely persisted over the process but it was understood that Carter couldn t just cite the residents, as the notice must be issued in long form. It s just that particular complaint has to be done in long form, it s not something that we can just put on a ticket, Hokes explained. Under police reports Carter reminded council that they have been issuing almost as many warnings as tickets, after noting council receiving some complaints on the matter. You may notice that some people giving a lot of complaints about how many citations were being wrote, Carter said, Anybody see we had 45 stops and only 27 cited.

Fore more information visit PLEADS From PG 1 clarification on exactly what Jones meant but it s a concern I have. SCRAMBLE From PG 1 Bowman explained. He added that it was just a matter of keeping in touch with the appropriate authorities thereafter. Bowman repeated what was in the USPS letter stating that community meetings would be held to inform the public of their plans, and for local feedback if the current building could not be renovated. At this point I think we re really at the mercy of the U.S. Postal service as to their timelines for whatever studies they re going to do to determine feasibility to re-use the building or, whether they need to do some other feasibility study to determine a different location, Bowman said. So, either way you re looking at a considerable amount of time in my opinion before this issue is completely resolved. When speaking with Mayor Ken Zitko last Friday they stated that they would be making phone calls and suggested residents contact their congressman as well as state senators. Mr. Bowman and I will be doing the same, Zitko said adding that they have spoken with the local postmaster but that his hands are tied. He doesn t make any of these decisions. One of those officials already contacted is Congressman Bill After a brief recess requested by Hervey he returned to cite the Ohio Revised Code of B stating that either side could raise the issue of competency and granted Bruzzese s request. Jones s evaluation is to be conducted Johnson (R-District 6) but it s clear that other officials to be contacted are in the works in a plea for assistance. I've heard from a number of elected officials and Cadiz residents about the post office closing. We are working with the Postal Service to see if there are alternative options to temporarily house the post office somewhere in Cadiz until in the situation with the building is resolved, Johnson stated via as well as Facebook. A group of local officials, including the county commissioners, met Wednesday morning to share information and set a plan in place. What came out of that meeting was Chairman of the Cadiz Community Improvement Corporation s (CCIC) Mike Sliva being appointed as the man of contact for the village and outside officials, including the USPS. We re just trying to coordinate it so all of the individuals that have made contact with the congressmen and also the postal service that we have one point of contact in the village, CCIC Member Ken Mason said at the end of Wednesday s commissioner s meeting. Commissioner Don Bethel commended the village for reaching out to the commissioners but it was made clear that they were in the capacity to only assist in the village s matters as they would for any other village within the at the Forensic and Diagnostic Center in Athens, according to Hervey. Jones has been charged with failure to comply, a felony of the third degree where bond was previously set at $100,000. county, as noted by Commissioner Dale Norris. Commissioner Paul Coffland also noted when contacting Johnson s office that he was told they were going to pass on the information to Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman in this matter. One issue that seems to be bubbling to the service was some discontent by some residents wanting the village to take matters into their own hands with the postal building but the fact is the Cadiz postal building as well as the property is owned by the federal government, as Mason later stated. He added that no one in the village knew of the closing before the local postal employees, which basically came at the 11th hour before closing on ursday. ey were just as blindsided as we were, Coffland said of some of the public officials that have already been contacted. Mason emphasized that area officials have done everything we can in getting postal service back in Cadiz as quickly as possible. e USPS letter emphasized that no final decision had been made "to permanently discontinue or close the Cadiz Post Office." It added that a public meeting would be held if the current location could not be continued as a post office. Van Allen also stated that the collection box at the Cadiz location would stay in place.

4 4 HARRISON NEWS-HERALD AREA Saturday, September 9, 2017 e Jewett Wildcat Community Center asks community for help JEWETT - e Jewett Wildcat Community Center had a terrible incident occur a week and a half ago. Over the weekend of Aug , there was a major water leak in the hallway above the gymnasium, which resulted in water flowing down the steps and onto the gym floor. is resulted in the floor buckling. Unfortunately, the center only carries liability insurance so the damage is not covered. e Wildcat center was originally the Jewett Union Local High School, teaching grades 1-12 and was home to the Jewett Wildcats, in 1972 it became the Jewett-Scio Elementary School and was the home of the Jewett-Scio Vikings. en in 1999 Harrison Hills City School District was formed consolidating all the county schools into one and the Harrison Central Huskies were born. e Jewett school was closed in 2010 and in early 2011 it became the property of the Village of Jewett when it became the Jewett Wildcat Community Center. e center has provided many events geared towards the local communities and surrounding counties needs at the lowest possible costs so that friends and families can afford to spend enjoyable times out together. One of the biggest yearly events benefit children from Harrison, Carroll and Jefferson counties with their Biddy Basketball program. ere usually is an average of plus fourth, fifth and sixth grade players each season who learn the basics of basketball and get prepared for junior high and high school basketball. Probably 90 percent of these beginners end up on their high school teams in later years.

Harrison County continues to send hurricane relief CADIZ Last week the United States Police Canine Association teamed up with the Cadiz Police and Fuse Tech to donate badly needed items for the horrendous flooding seen in Texas as a result of Hurricane Harvey. Cadiz Police Officer CJ Byers, who handles the K-9 unit locally, traveled to Texas with Bill Nedrow of the Dover Police Department. Nedrow drove the 18-wheeler, which was donated by Fuse Tech (546 North Main Street, Cadiz). Byers said that over three dozen drop-off locations around the area had to be met before finally heading south, which they did early Wednesday morning. ose locations included the Microtel Inn & Suites, which donated a $500 check from owner Ben St. John and presented to Byers Friday morning by Microtel s General Manager Rachel Baker. Other local drop-off sites along with Microtel were the Cadiz Police Department and the Uhrichsville Police Department. We re just glad to be a part of it, Baker said, it s nice to be able to help. Cadiz Police Chief Ryan McCann echoed Baker s sentiments and stated there was no hesitation in allowing Byers to go. e crew began unloading upon arrival after the long drive. Byers stated he wouldn t know what was going to happen once they arrived in Texas or how long they would be staying. Not only did we meet our goal of filling one trailer. We filled 3[sic] for sure and possibly a 4th, Byers said via while in Texas. Another trailer was loaded yesterday and is already on its way down here. We're going to hang on to the other and see what happens in Florida. We may divert it there if they need it. If not, it will continue to Houston as originally planned. Byers being Cadiz s K-9 officer was the connection with the Canine Association and his father, Carl, a vice president of operations with Fuse Tech was his connection there and where it all came together.

Representatives from the center are reaching out to the community for donations to repair the floor so they can continue to serve the community. A semi trailer is loaded with supplies headed for Texas to help with those devastated by Hurricane Harvey.

6 6 HARRISON NEWS-HERALD SPORTS Saturday, September 9, 2017 Huskies open up turf-era in thrilling fashion By D.J. WATSON Nh Sports Writer CADIZ- For the second straight season, the Cleveland Rhodes Rams have made the trip down Interstate 77 to Harrison County, and just like last year, the Division I program was sent home with a defeat in tow. One big difference in this year s edition? Last year the two teams matched up on natural grass, this year the Rams served as the Huskies inaugural opponent on the new artificial turf surface at Wagner Field, and the Huskies didn t disappoint in the much anticipated debut. In what proved to be a late game nail-biter, the Harrison Central Huskies (1-1) outlasted the Rams (1-1) to the tune of a home-opening victory. While capitalizing on the big night of their offensive standout Tyler West, the Huskies also used some lockdown defense in the final moments of the fourth to seal the deal. e visiting Rhodes squad struggled mightily to slow down the Huskies junior star running-back. West finished the evening with 216 yards and three touchdowns, besting his effort from 2016 against the Rams when he turned in a 145- yard performance and a score. In the final two minutes of the ball game however, it was the Huskies defense that saved the day. e two late stops of the Rams shifty offense were the defensive unit s most notable highlights on the evening. One ended in a Dejuan Caldwell interception and the other in a race against the clock as the Rams couldn t muster any yardage against the Huskies before time expired. Wyatt Elias got things started for the Huskies on the scoreboard when he plunged in from one yard out to make the score 6-0. He then followed that up with a near identical push into the end-zone for the successful two point conversion to make it 8-0 with 7:05 to go in the first quarter. Rhodes would quickly respond, one minute and thirty four seconds later to be exact. On a third and long, Rhodes quarterback Paul Farmer rolled to the near sideline and threw back across the field to a streaking Richard Monday, who had snuck behind the Huskies secondary into the wide open. e 65- yard pitch and catch made it 8-6 after the two point conversion failed. Rhodes would take their only lead of the ball game just 36 seconds later, capitalizing on a Huskies interception inside of the their own 30-yard line. A jet option shovel pass from 18- yards out put the Rams up 12-8, as the visitors were once again unsuccessful on their point after attempt. e next Harrison drive saw a heavy dosage of the offense s main attraction. After Elias found the speedy back streaking down the middle for a 42-yard connection through the air, West finished the job a play later from 10-yards out. e successful two point conversion made it with 2:54 to go in the first quarter, and the Huskies would carry the momentum for the rest of the first half, tacking on two more touchdowns before the break. e first of those scores came after West picked off a Farmer pass inside the five yard line with the Rams threatening to score. e return on the interception landed the Huskies on the other side of the fifty when a late hit flag added fifteen yards to West s return. at s when Head Coach Justin Kropka reached into his bag of tricks and dialed up a gem. A double pass that started with Elias to Caldwell, ended with Caldwell to a wide open Damon Carpenter who sprinted in for the score, making it in favor of the Huskies with 10:13 to go in the second quarter. e final score of the half came at the end of a 68-yard four play drive that was capped off with a West four yard touchdown run. West was no stranger to the rock on this short drive, as he carried it all four plays, including the successful two point conversion making the tally in favor of the Huskies. Rhodes added a touchdown in the third, and another in the fourth before the Huskies would find the end-zone once more. Up only six now at a score of 30-24, Tyler West would again find the pylons, this time from four yards out with 5:56 remaining in the ball game. e two point conversion failed, and the Huskies would find themselves clinging to their lead for the remainder of the contest. Elias complimented the rushing attack well through the air, finishing 7 of 10 for 122 passing yards; he also added a NH Photo SANDI THOMPSON Harrison s Tyler West (22) is wrapped up by a Rhodes defender.

MISSY CULVER THOMPSON Cadiz High School 1996 Missy Culver ompson, a 1996 graduate of Cadiz High School, is considered the best female point guard in Cadiz basketball history, and is easily one of the finest all-around athletes ever to play in Harrison County. Missy lettered eleven times in her Cardinal sports career, starting four years in volleyball, winning seven OVAC Titles and a District Championship in three seasons of Track and Field, and scored in double figures an amazing 54 times in basketball, including having 16 games over 20pts. Culver will remain as the second leading female scorer in Cadiz history with 1185 career points. Missy s freshman basketball season began as an opportunity to contribute, and ended with her being one of the key players on the team. At the end of the season, Culver was listed on the Times Leader Honor Roll for Athlete of the Week when she knocked down 39 points in games against Steubenville C.C. (22pts) and she scored 17 against 18-1 Wellsville. She also had games of 18 points against Conotton Valley and 16 against Bellaire St Johns.

During the Spring, Missy was dominant in the 400meter and 800 meter, while also anchoring a special 1600meter relay team. She was undefeated in the 800meter during Indian League competition, and won OVAC Titles in the 400meter, 800meter, and teamed with Jennifer Banks, Brandy Wilson, and Devon Williams to win the 1600meter relay. e relay team went on to win the District and would place 5th in the Regional. Missy s sophomore basketball season saw her reach double figures 12 times while turning around a program. e Cardinals reeled off wins in their first eight games of the year, including a overtime win against undefeated and State Ranked Wellsville when Culver contributed 16 points. Cadiz would win 14 games and Missy once again averaged double figures and led the team in assists. She would garner Special Mention All-District honors for her efforts. Culver s Spring season would be hampered when she contracted chicken pox, but she still managed to team up with Jennifer Banks, Jennifer Fullerton, and Devon Williams to repeat their OVAC Title in 4x400meter relay. Culver s junior season in sports was exceptional. During basketball, she led the area in scoring with a 17.6 ppg average, and scored in double figures 16 games including seven games of 20pts or more. During a win over River, Missy scored a career high 29 points while also pulling down 7 rebounds and having four steals. She led the Cardinals to a 15-5 regular season record and a third place OVAC finish. Culver would be named 1st Team News Herald, 1st Team All-District, and earned All-Ohio honors. In Track and Field, Missy would once again dominate the OVAC AA field to take home Titles in the 400 meter, 800 meter, and teamed with Jennifer Banks and Devon Williams for the third time, and Shawna Perkins to win the 4x400 meter relay. After losing three straight tournament games in three years, two of them with her as Captain, Culver was determined to win in her senior post-season. When the dust settled, not only would Cadiz win in the postseason, Culver would lead the Lady Cardinals to their best tournament run in school history. She would score in double figures 17 times and reached the 20 point mark on seven occasions, including a 25 point 9 rebound effort in a win against 12-4 Conotton Valley. After another 15-5 regular season record against a difficult schedule, the Cards faced a formidable Sandy Valley team. Culver refused to lose and blitzed the nets for 25pts and led Cadiz to a hard-earned victory. With the monkey off their backs, the Culver led Cardinals had revenge in mind against Tusky Valley, the team that trounced Cadiz by 30 points in tournament play the previous season. In a closely played contest, Culver made two free throws with seconds to play that were the game winner in a win that earned the Lady Cardinals the Sectional Championship. Against high scoring Barnesville, Culver scored 21 points and helped hold the Shamrocks to under 50 in a win that set the school win record and took the Lady Cardinals to their first ever District Final. Missy would score 17 points and pull down 9 rebounds, but it wouldn t be enough against 22-1 and State Ranked Garaway in a very respectable season ending loss. Culver would once again be showered with post season honors. She made 1st Team News Herald, 1st Team OVAC, 1st Team All-Valley, 1st Team All-District, and played in both the OVAC and District All-Star games. Culver joined a special group of Harrison County athletes when she was again named All-Ohio. Missy married John ompson in 2002 and has been working at PNC Bank for 18 years.

Chris played golf all day, every week, all summer. Chris recalls being under the lights on the putting green practicing his game while waiting to go home. He was his own coach, and his self-taught style won him the Junior Club Championship at age thirteen. Chris eventually broke the Cadiz Course record with a round of 64 which stood for over three decades. His best score was at the Wheeling Park course when he shot a blistering round of 59 to go with his 60 and 68 to win the three round Tournament. During his high school days, Chris joined a Cadiz golf team that had years of team success. McKnight would help continue that tradition as a freshman when he helped Cadiz win their sixth consecutive Sectional Title and he qualified for the District Tournament. As a sophomore, his talented crew of Rusty Deaton, John Francis, Janis Worklan and Bruce Walrath would win 17 regular season matches and the Sectional for the seventh straight year, dominating the field with a 329, 17 strokes better than their closest competitor. During the OVAC Tournament, not only did Cadiz win the OVAC Class AA Title, their score of 335 earned the Cardinals the school s first ever overall OVAC Team Golf Title. Chris would take home Class AA Medalist Honors with a 78. His junior and senior seasons included another Sectional Championship, two individual District appearances, an OVAC Runner-Up, and an OVAC Championship Title. Chris would finish District Runner-Up as a senior, but at that time only the District winner advanced. After high school, McKnight walked on at Division I Kent State and made the golf team, but he wasn t ready for college life yet and took some time off and practiced his golf game. In 1983, friend Eric Adams invited Chris to Fairmont State and Chris earned a golf scholarship. He was named All Conference three seasons and had six individual Titles. After graduating with a degree in Business Administration, Chris turned pro and worked during the summer then headed to Florida to play professionally in the winter, cashing in his first three events.

In 1987 he took the Assistant Club Pro at Laurel Valley Golf Club and was named Head Golf Professional in 1993 and has never left. Chris still competes in tournaments across the Country and has two individual victories with numerous top five finishes.

8 8 HARRISON NEWS-HERALD HALL OF FAME Saturday, September 9, 2017 RABER S RAIDERS LAKELAND HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL Head Coach Bob Raber took over a successful Lakeland program and had a simple but demanding philosophy, work hard and be willing to sacrifice, which is the key to winning. ese three Lakeland teams must have taken Coach Raber s words to heart, as they would win over 75 percent of their regular season games, including dominating their Harrison County opponents by going 20-4 over the three year stretch. e Raiders would pile up an impressive 50 wins under Raber s direction, and the team would set the win standard at Lakeland that wouldn t be broken for over two decades. e Raider team was hit with injuries but still managed to finish 7-3 in the Harrison County League and had plenty of highlights while winning a number of big games during the year. County HOFer Nick Puskarich had 11 games over 20 points and scored a career high 31 against Union Local. Sophomore Dave Crosier set the school record when he handed out 16 assists during a win against Scio. Keith Ferguson blistered the nets for a career high 31 points in a thrashing of Cadiz, and the Raiders made it a clean sweep of their cross county rivals when Puskarich went for 28 points in a barnburner. e Raiders pulled off a huge upset when Puskarich and Ferguson hit for 16 points each and Kim Luyster added 12 to knock off 3rd ranked Ohio powerhouse New Athens Lakeland also beat Guernsey Catholic Central to win a sectional game. e Raiders were primed for a special season when they returned four starters from the previous campaign. Fans had reason to get excited when the Raiders opened the year by easily disposing of perennially strong Zanesville Rosecrans and had four players in double figures. A now healthy Randy Luyster had 17, Nick Puskarich 13, Kim Luyster 12 and Terry Ikey had 11. e talented Raber s Raiders reeled off nine victories in a row to start the season and earned them a Top 10 State ranking in both the UPI and AP Polls. Lakeland manhandled their opponents by an average win margin of over 19 points per game. e Raiders showed their strength and depth in a win over a usually strong Hiland team and a trouncing of Union Local Lakeland never trailed against Hiland and placed four scorers in double figures with Puskarich netting 21, Randy Luyster 20, inside strongman Ed Singhaus had 13 and playmaker Ikey added 12. Against Union Local, an impressive six Raiders hit for double figures. Puskarich again led the way with 18 markers, K. Luyster 13, Singhaus 12, top reserve Keith Dickey 11, R. Luyster 10 and Dave Crosier 10 giving great support. eir first loss came against undefeated #3 State ranked and eventual State Champion Indian Valley South. A competitive game got out of hand after early foul problems continued and resulted in five Raider players fouling out. Lakeland rebounded and ran off another five victories in a row, including a win over rival Cadiz and four games with at least four players in double figures. Against Carrollton St Edwards, an amazing 11 Raiders scored while also having five players once again in double figures. Dave Crosier led the way with 16, Jeff Ferrell provided great support with 14, and Puskarich, Ikey and R. Luyster added 10 each. After playing sluggish and going ice cold (5-17) from the free throw line, they dropped a tough verdict to the redhot Rockets of Conotton Valley for their second loss of the campaign. Lakeland was spared a two-game slide when Ikey sank two free throws with six seconds remaining to give their great defense and sputtering offense the help they needed in a win. e Raiders offense would get their groove back in the next two games, averaging 77 points, and a regular season finale win against Cadiz had the Raiders primed for post season play. Raber s Raiders disposed of Springfield Local, a former Raber coached team, with K. Luyster (15 pts), Puskarich (13 pts & 14 rbs) and R. Luyster (11 pts) leading the charge. In game two against Zane Trace, who eliminated the Raiders the previous season, Lakeland got their revenge and 20th win of the season led by Puskarich (24 pts 15 rbs), K. Luyster (14) and Singhaus (12) in the victory that sent them to the Sectional Final. Led by Randy Luyster s 28 points, Lakeland completely dominated Brilliant to bring home Lakeland s first Sectional Championship and the first Sectional Title to a Freeport based team since A tipsy turvy one game District Final against Zanesville Rosecrans saw the Raiders up by as much as nine and down by as much as 10 until a loose ball was grabbed by Rosecran s Ken Herman and laid in with seconds to go to hand Lakeland a crusing loss. e 21 wins and District Final appearance set the standards for Lakeland basketball. e Raber s Raiders returned six lettermen and continued the dominant play of the previous season. Lakeland did face height challenges that were taken advantage of in the first game of the season against a much bigger school in Columbus St Charles. e Raiders were out-rebounded and they went cold from the field, sinking only 19 of 63 shots. eir defense was still sharp and almost pulled it out, but Lakeland fell in a tough loss. e Raiders regrouped and went on a six game win streak that began when Dave Crosier pumped in a career high 30 points and K. Luyster added 14 in a beat down of Conotton Valley. A hard-earned win against Cadiz followed with Crosier 21, R. Luyster 13, Singhaus 11 and K. Luyster 10 leading the way. After convincing wins against Hiland (52-39), Union Local (67-53) and Malvern (72-48), Lakeland found itself on the losing end late in the game to Madison until Ed Singhaus tipped in a last second shot to send the game into OT. Singhaus would continue his clutch play in overtime where he scored eight of his fourteen game points to give them a win. R. Luyster (21) and K. Luyster (20) combined for 41 points and Crosier added 14 to assist Singhaus heroics. After sandwiching a win between two tough opponents in a much taller Rosecrans and an IVS team that came in riding a 32 game win streak, the Raiders got tough and went on an imposing nine game win streak of their own. Displaying their ball handling skills prior to games to the tune of Sweet Georgia Brown, Raber s Raiders passed, dribbled and drove around defenses that were powerless to stop them. Only three of those games were decided by less than ten points, but one game was as close as one could get. Union Local played their best game of the season but Randy Luyster had the answer each time the Jets had a late lead. Luyster made baskets at the end of regulation, at the end of the first overtime, and then sank two free throws with 15 secs left in double OT to thwart the Jets upset bid In an impressive win against Newcomerstown, six Lakeland players scored in double figures, Singhaus 19, R. Luyster 17, K. Luyster 16, Jeff Ferrell 13, Crosier 10, and John Patterson had 10. A win against J-S had Randy Luyster just missing the 30 pt plateau with 29, and he had help from Crosier 19, Singhaus 15 and K. Luyster 12. e Raiders went cold from the free throw line (6-15) in the regular season finale to drop a tough defensive game to perennial power Garaway. e Raber s Raiders season came to a shocking end when Springfield Local, a team Lakeland had just beaten three games prior on the Tiger s floor, upset the Raiders for a heartbreaking loss. e 50 wins in three seasons is one of the best runs of any Freeport group and will remain as one of the finest eras in Harrison County basketball history. Members of those special Raber s Raiders teams were: Head Coach Robert Raber, Asst Coach Robert Erwin, Wayne Anderson, John Booth, Jim Burton, Keith Cope, Dave Crosier, Bruce Dean, Lenny Dean, Keith Dickey, Roger Dunlap, Keith Ferguson, Lawrence Ferguson, Jeff Ferrell, Charlie Hall, Gary Hart, Steve Heade, Randy Heath, Richard Heath, Frank Hodkinson, Tom Hodkinson, Terry Ikey, Wayne Karl, Kim Luyster, Randy Luyster, Raymond Lynn, Milton Mallernee, Jim McCartney, Jerry McMillen, Roger McMillen, Rich Milleson, John Patterson, Larry Phillips, Nick Puskarich, Eugene Septer, Don Singhaus, Ed Singhaus, Eddie Sproull, Glen White, Mike Williams and Erwin Wright.

9 Saturday, September 9, 2017 HARRISON NEWS-HERALD HALL OF FAME 9 NICK PUSKARICH Lakeland High School 1972 Nick Puskarich, a 1972 Lakeland High School graduate, is easily one of the finest allaround basketball players in Harrison County history. Nick scored in double figures an incredible 31 consecutive games, had 17 games over 20 points, averaged a double/double in points and rebounds in every game he played, and he will remain as the fifth highest scorer in Lakeland history. Puskarich s name is listed at least once in 25 different school record categories at Lakeland, and he s one of a few Harrison County athletes to be named All-Ohio twice during their high school career. His 66 career wins as a Raider is one of the highest win totals of any basketball player in Harrison County history. Nick always loved basketball, and he became an impact player during his junior high years when he had excellent competition from his teammates, much appreciated instruction from teacher Bill McCormick, and guidance and inspiration from current HOFer John McElhaney. Puskarich made an immediate impact his freshman season, even though the Raiders were loaded with a talented senior class. Coach Caveness stressed defense and toughness which only added to Puskarich s arsenal. Nick was a gentleman off the court, but when the whistle blew he became a rugged defender and rebounder who could also shoot. Bruises and nosebleeds at practice became familiar to him and his teammates, and that physical and mental toughness helped hold their opponents to 48 points per game. Nick started two games for the senior laden Raiders, and being led by current HOFer Denny Luyster they went on to win 19 ball games before bowing out against Zanesville Rosecrans During a supposed rebuilding year, Puskarich entered the starting lineup and helped lead the Raiders to a 9-1 League record. He scored a high of 20 points against Hopedale while also yanking down 12 rebounds. Nick ended up having the second best offensive season for a Lakeland sophomore by averaging 12.5ppg, a total that remains seventh in school history. e season came to an end when a red-hot West Muskingum team shot from the field in the first half and cruised to a win. Puskarich s junior season was one of the finest all-around individual performances in Harrison County history. T he Raiders were primed to do great things under new head coach Bob Raber, but injuries put most of the burden on Puskarich. Nick responded by leading his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocked shots and free throw percentage. He had eleven games over 20pts, including a career best 31pt performance against Union Local, a team he punished earlier in the season with a career best 22 rebounds. He also scored 16 points in a stunning victory against New Athens who were Ranked 3rd in Ohio. After beating GCC in the Sectional, Nick s 18 points couldn t overcome 17-1 and State Ranked Zane Trace, losing His 19.2ppg average will remain the second best junior season ever at Lakeland, and third best for any Freeport based school. Nick was named All- Ohio for his spectacular year. Nick s senior season set win records for the school and gave Lakeland their first Sectional Title. His scoring wasn t needed as much so he focused on defense and rebounding. While Puskarich still averaged around 15ppg, the 6 1 senior pulled down the third highest number of rebounds in school history. A balanced attack led the Raiders to a perfect 9-0 start that had Lakeland Ranked in the Top 10 in both Ohio Polls. A loss to eventual State Champion Indian Valley South was helped when Puskarich was whistled for three first quarter fouls and he eventually fouled out along with four other teammates. e Puskarich led Raiders would finish the regular season 18-2 and they were selected #1 Seed in their Sectional. After whipping Springfield 53-40, Puskarich led the Raiders a revenge win against Zane Trace when he poured in 24 points and dominated the boards with 18 rebounds in a final and their 20th win of the season. Lakeland thrashed Brilliant for the school s first Sectional Title and the first Title for a Freeport based team since e one game District Final against Zanesville ended in heartbreaking fashion for Puskarich and the Raiders when a loose ball was picked up and laid in with seconds to go, giving the Rosecrans a win and a crushing Raider defeat. e 21 wins for Lakeland set the school standard and ended Nick s win total at an amazing 66 career wins. His 1072 points put Puskarich at third place in career points at the time and he is still fifth in school history. Nick ended his exceptional career by once again being named All-Ohio. Nick is retired from CRAVAT Coal Company and currently continues his love of farming. He and his wife Carolyn live in Harrison County and celebrated their 43rd anniversary in May of this year. ey have two sons, Clint and Aaron.

12 12 HARRISON NEWS-HERALD REGION Saturday, September 9, 2017 Jeffco Training Center donates to hurricane victims Consumers with Jeffco Training Center gathered items to donate to victims of Hurricane Harvey. Manager Connie Giamos said the center s staff, special needs adults and the consumers family members contributed bottled water, cleaning supplies and personal care items, which were then taken to the Old Aquinas Elementary School in Steubenville as part of a community effort to aid residents impacted by Harvey in Texas. Pictured are, from left, Alexis Satiropoulis, Scott Shean, Jackie Baksa, John Montgomery and Paula Morris. Hills Elementary collecting for pediatric cancer research MINGO JUNCTION- Students at Hills Elementary School are once again banding together to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. In observance of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month for September, the school will conduct a weeklong "Caps for Kids with Cancer" campaign on Sept to benefit the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Cancer Research facility. Students may donate $1 or more to wear a hat each day and the schedule includes crazy hats on Monday, toboggans on Tuesday, bandannas on Wednesday, favorite hats on ursday and sports teams' hats on Friday. To put some extra "fun" into fundraising, a Pittsburgh Pirates basket has been added with two tickets to attend a game during the 2018 season plus team shirts in adult and child sizes. e raffle tickets will be sold each day for $1 with the drawing to be held on Sept. 22. Meanwhile, popsicles will be sold for 50 cents during recess that Tuesday and ursday to further benefit the cause. e subject touches very close to home since three students at the school have battled the disease. Organizer Ginny Pawelczyk, a third-grade teacher at Hills, faced a crisis after her son David was diagnosed as a baby. His condition was discovered at age seven months and he underwent three rounds of chemotherapy and 31 radiation treatments before his first birthday. e radiation caused secondary illness and issues, some of which David continues to battle today. e upcoming event is especially meaningful since David will turn eight on Sept. 19, while it will also be eight years that he's been cancer free. Pawelczyk has led the campaign for the past four years and even earned honors as a Gold Ribbon Hero from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for her moneymaking efforts, but she noted that more needs to be done. She said pediatric cancer research is grossly underfunded with only 4 percent given by the government towards finding cures. However, there are more than 200 different types of brain cancer alone. "My goal is to help find a cure for all pediatric cancers and to fund research for treatments that do not cause secondary illness. is is our fourth year Caps for Kids with Cancer campaign. Last year, Hills was one of the top sponsors," she said. She hopes to raise as much money as she can and has set a goal of at least $1,000. Reservations are needed by Sept. 1. Please call Donna Long Pancher (740) or Betty McGill Gladman (740) to make reservations. Anyone who attended a one room school is invited.
