TUCSON INC.

Construction company stays busy By Joe Wright Times-Reporter staff writer

t’s an interesting answer that Tucson Inc., president Jim Demuth provided when asked what people might not know about the New Philadelphia construction company. “I think that it’s probably ... I don’t think too many people know we exist,” he said. “We don’t do retail or residential work … I don’t advertise much.” Yet the company’s work is all over. On a November afternoon, Demuth pointed out that work was being done on multiple projects in Cambridge, Canton, Cleveland, Newcomerstown, New Philadelphia and Zanesville. “We usually have eight to 10 projects going at a time,” Demuth said. It’s a busy time for the company, which employs about 50 people. Demuth said Tucson has been blessed with a pretty good economy. “With a construction company, you have to go where the work is,” he explained. “We’ve had more local work in the past two or three years than we’ve had in the past 15 before.” Demuth describes Tucson as broad-based general contractors. Whatever is out there, the company can handle — highways for ODOT, shoreline restoration projects for Muskingum Watershed, campgrounds and stream relocation to name a few. The new entrance to Kent State University at Tuscarawas also was handled by Tucson. It’s just one of many multi-million dollar projects. A few of those projects have been in Cleveland, where Demuth said his company is busiest outside the local area. Some of those projects are in the University Circle area, Seneca Golf Course at Cleveland Metroparks and another one through the Northeast Ohio Sewer District called the Dome Creek realignment, right beside

Cuyahoga River. He said they had to move it over about 30 feet and restore the trail. “That was quite a project. People don’t realize just to do that it’s a multi-million dollar undertaking when you start shifting things, major rivers,” he said. An older favorite was building the pond and trails at Dover City Park. He said Tucson went in and relined the pond with rocks last year. Another plus of being in business for a number of years is that he has a staff in place with experience. It’s a family atmosphere. “I’ve been to weddings, I’ve been to funerals, I’ve been to kids’ weddings. I guess you get a lot of satisfaction,” he said.

Still cruising at 90 years Lahm Motor Company continues to grow By Barb Limbacher Times-Reporter correspondent

SUGARCREEK or 90 years, the Lahm Motor Company at 119 North Broadway has been operating and serving customers in the Tuscarawas Valley and beyond. During 2019, the Lahm family will be celebrating the anniversary with several special events. The business is operated by the third generation and, at some point, a fourth generation might be serving customers. Dick Lahm, 83, is a second-generation owner along with his children Kyle Lahm and Michele Engstrom, third generation owners. Dick’s wife, Dawn, was a familiar face in the office for many years. Michele has served as office manager for about 15 years. They still sell used vehicles however they offer so much more. The business offers full repair of vehicles and is a complete service facility. Three mechanics are on duty. Winston Lahm, Kyle’s son, joined the team this summer as a mechanic apprentice and does other jobs around the business. Michele enjoys the customers and helping solve their problems with vehicles. “I ate, slept and breathed cars all my life,” Kyle said. “I started in elementary school doing odd jobs around the garage.” “The reason the business has been so successful, we have adapted to change in cars and trucks. To be able to service vehicles, we had to make an investment in tools and diagnostics,” he said. He said in the future the business also will focus on imports, SUVs and trucks. Recently, a $5,000 diagnostic scan tool was purchased specifically for imported cars. “You can’t be in business for 90 years unless you have quality service” Kyle said. “Multi-generations of customers return to have work done on their vehicles.” As a “car family” they knew the

family story was not going to end in 2009 when the Lahm’s separated from the Chrysler Corp. The family quickly made a plan to continue the vehicle service business and focus on the sale of preowned vehicles. An advantage to being a small business is that the Lahms can easily adapt to changes in the industry. “We utilize the internet to reach customers in our area, as well as those who may live outside the market area. We have sold vehicles to customers in neighboring states because they were searching for a very specific vehicle and our inventory can be found online (on the website, Facebook, autoblog, cargurus),” Michele said. “In 2018, we sold an SUV to a man in California. This month, a customer from Chicago purchased an SUV.” This year, Lahm’s is making plans

to offer financing for vehicle purchases. In the repair facility, they offer six-month financing for large repairs or tires purchased at the business. Earl V. Lahm, Dick Lahm’s father, started the business in 1929. E.V. Lahm had left a mechanic’s position in Canton, a job he took after returning from World War I. Lahm’s was franchised by the Chrysler Corp. in 1930 and moved from Factory Street to its current location in 1931. Dick Lahm often describes the business as humble, especially during the time in American history when the business began. To start the dealership, E.V. Lahm borrowed $690 from his siblings. The business survived the Great Depression. Dick Lahm joined his father’s dealership in 1953 and took over ownership when his father passed away in 1969.

MCMILLEN From Page 6

Sons Tom and Wes helped with the family business part-time throughout high school, joining full-time upon graduation. The business then became McMillen & Sons Heating & Cooling. In 1987, a new building was constructed to house the business at the current location, 100 S. Tuscarawas Ave. Employee Kevin Carter joined McMillen & Sons in 1989 and has been with the company since. Customers treated Carter like family because they thought he was a McMillen. “They’ve always asked me how my dad was,” Carter said. Bob continued to help his sons long into his “retirement,” said Brenda. Bob passed away in October 2018, and Miriam, in 2016. “They were wonderful people and a staple of our community. Everyone knew and loved them,” said Cathy Smith, whose husband, Mike, bought the business with Gary Carter effective Nov. 1. The two men had worked together for 21 years at another firm. Gary Carter is not related to Kevin Carter. Cathy is the office manager. The company became available because brothers Tom and Wes wanted to retire. “We were getting up in age and heard through someone that these guys were interested in buying a business,” Wes McMillen said. “After you devote your entire life to it, and it was my parents’ as well, the hope would have been that there was somebody decent that would want to continue it.” Wes said Smith and Gary Carter were a good match for the company because they are good, honest people. “We hope to exceed their expectations,” Mike Smith said. “We want to keep them proud that they sold it to us.” “We wish new owners Mike Smith and Gary Carter the very best,” said Brenda McMillen, Wes’ wife and the former office manager. “We will continue to support them along their new journey as owners of McMillen Heating & Cooling LLC.” “I personally would like to thank all the past customers for their loyalty,” Wes said. Except for the minor name change, Smith said he does not want to make many changes in the business. He would like to add more staff to serve customers, whom his wife — the new office manager — described as “the best,” because they understand when a maintenance appointment needs to be rescheduled so one of the technicians can serve another customer who has an emergency, such as loss of heat.

Former Lauren Manufacturing integrates into Cooper Standard

Outlook 2019

Smooth transition

By Jon Baker Times-Reporter staff writer

NEW PHILADELPHIA auren Manufacturing and Lauren Plastics have made a smooth transition from being components of Lauren International to part of the Industrial and Specialty Group of Cooper Standard. Cooper Standard, of Novi, Mich., purchased the two divisions Aug. 1, 2018. “With six months post acquisition, one of the greatest strengths we would say about Cooper Standard is hands down the people we’ve become associated with from every area of the business,” said Lisa Huntsman, formerly president of Lauren Manufacturing and now vice president of the Industrial and Specialty Group for Cooper Standard. “Our Cooper Standard colleagues have been thoughtful in nature and considerate regarding the scope of work that’s required for an integration to be successful. Equally, our previous Lauren team has done an amazing job in managing and handling the changes necessary as well. I’m incredibly proud of what the entire organization has done in this short period of time.” The integration process took months, but so far, she and employees of Lauren Manufacturing have been pleased with the process. Cooper Standard is a leading global supplier of systems and components for the automotive industry. Products include rubber and plastic sealing, fuel and brake lines, fluid transfer hoses and anti-vibration systems. Cooper Standard employs more than 32,000 people globally and operates in 20 countries around the world. Huntsman said Cooper Standard wants 30 percent of its revenue to come from outside the automotive industry, which was behind the purchase of Lauren Manufacturing and its two plants in New Philadelphia, one in Kent and one in Spring Lake, Mich. Lauren served 20 different market sectors from windows and doors to

the automotive industry, building construction and appliances. “We’re a sophisticated job shop,” she said. “That’s who Lauren has always been and now Cooper Standard. That’s what this division will be about.” The division has about 500 employees. There has been no change in employment since the purchase. While the division is part of a multi-national corporation, Huntsman said it still feels small.

Many of Cooper Standard’s plants are in small communities like New Philadelphia. “They value what the Lauren company has brought and how we have grown,” she said. “I think we can complement each other and we have in terms of taking our knowledge and what we know and then also being able to leverage their scale on a lot of things, whether it’s from materials or just buying power and some of their infrastructure that has helped us in some key areas as well.” Huntsman said Cooper Standard is committed to the community. “They have what’s called the Cooper Standard Foundation,” she said. “They do some great work, and it’s really driven by the employees.” If there are four or more employees who raise money for charity, the Cooper Standard Foundation will match it, she said.

In addition, after the 25-year plan, Newcomerstown will save even more because the system becomes its own and there will be little electrical costs whatsoever and the $2 million saved can be used to replace or maintain the system. Another plus is that if anything goes wrong with the panels during the plan, Valta takes care of the cost. Cadle calls it a win-win situation for the village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the secondary insurers, they are still the primary insurer,â&#x20AC;? said Cadle. The solar panels are able to generate power to run both plants 24 hours a day, despite the fact they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t store energy. Although many Ohio days can be cloudy, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thwart the panels. As long as there is enough light to see, the panels perform. The type of solar panels installed are called rockers. They are capable of following the sun to generate more energy (think of a mechanical sunflower). The two plants account for about 80 percent of the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electric bill and the solar panels will help save about $185,000 a year. And what is happening is being noticed by other communities. During

the reception Oct. 26, representatives from Cambridge, Sugarcreek, West Lafayette and Millersburg were on hand to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in Newcomerstown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It only makes sense that if you have some kind of piece of land beside you, beside those treatment plants, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to save you money,â&#x20AC;? said Cadle. Cadle said the project has been gratifying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things you get excited when you have those big moments â&#x20AC;Ś like when we had that ceremony for cutting the ribbon, flipping the switch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was exciting because you had county, state and federal officials here to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and the hope that they will pass it on to other constituents.â&#x20AC;? The solar project is just one of many things Newcomerstown worked on in 2018. Cadle has a dry-erase board in his office with about 80 projects and goals, almost all of which were completed last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to market Newcomerstown better and I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do that, and a lot of good things are happening right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. The future certainly looks bright for the village.

Warther Cutlery moves into new facility in Dover

By Jon Baker Times-Reporter staff writer

DOVER arther Cutlery is open for business in its new 15,000-square-foot, twoand-a-half story facility on N. Tuscarawas Avenue. Company employees moved into the building between Christmas and New Year’s. The building houses the company’s manufacturing areas and a greatly expanded gift shop. Warther Cutlery is available for purchase. Offices and a conference room also are part of the facility. The move from the old space in Warther’s Museum took about a week and a half, with everyone helping out, including family members who don’t work there, according to Katie Cunningham, the company’s marketing director. “It was a full effort.” “We were fighting with the holidays a bit, too. Some people were here Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, but everybody got to their holidays. It was a success.”

It helped that the new building has a garage door on the second floor, which made it convenient to move things in. Cunningham said the door is designed to make it easier to move equipment out of the building when repairs are needed. Warther’s Cutlery is planning a grand opening in the spring after the building and the exterior area are completed. The move was necessary because the company had outgrown its old space because of an increase in business. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for us to expand, add more employees, add more product and be a little more efficient on the manufacturing side, but also give us more opportunities with our administrative side and also with sales with the new conference room,” said Steve Cunningham, Warther Cutlery’s president. “It’s been a long time coming,” he said. Warther Cutlery manufactures about 30,000 of its well-known knives each year. But its wood products line is continually expanding, with more than 50 new items introduced in 2018. The company

manufactures wood spoons, cutting boards, butcher blocks, wooden plates and pepper grinders, among other things. And just before Christmas, Whoopi Goldberg announced on “The View” that Warther’s cutting board was one of her favorite things, which gave the company national exposure. The main floor of the new building will house the gift shop. Eighty percent of the products featured in the store will be Warther products, with a big focus on the kitchen, home and cooking. “It’s kind of an industrial look,” Katie Cunningham said of the store. “When you walk in, there’s exposed ceiling, wood beams and a

couple of walls are going to be done in wood. It’s homey, but it’s kind of industrial at the same time because we make everything there. It’s going to have a completely different feel to what we had.” At the back of the main floor will be the knife shop, where customers can watch cutlery being made by Warther employees or have their knives sharpened. “We wanted to keep that because you can do that now and it’s something people really enjoy to do,” she said. The company has hired a consultant, Nathan Paternoster, who will work with the store to keep things fresh and moving, Steve Cunningham said. “So the store is going

to continually change and be exciting for the community to come in.” The woodshop will be in the basement. A partial third floor will house the offices and conference room. The new building was designed by architect Bruce Widder and built by Benchmark Construction. Warther Cutlery has 17 employees, including nine who work in the shop. The company has a strong customer base in the Tuscarawas Valley, but it sells its products all over the United States. It has many customers in Florida, as well as internationally.

The menu is a work in progress, but you can expect to see items such as meat and cheese boards, salads, street tacos and a burger. The existing taproom will be turned into a private event space for birthdays, rehearsal dinners and more. Lockport also will use the space to barrel-age beers, something they haven’t been able to do much of yet because of space limitations. “The new brewery will allow us to expand into making some new beers that we haven’t had the time or space to make before,” Andrew said. Lockport’s most popular beer, Gateway American-Style Cream Ale, won a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver last fall. “Being able to make 30 kegs of Gateway at a time will really open up our production schedule for some more experimental

Union Hospital transition continues

ith the announcement in April 2018 that it had become a part of the Cleveland Clinic healthcare system now several months behind it, Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital has been completing tasks to fully transition into its new healthcare system and positioning itself for further growth to benefit the residents of the Tuscarawas Valley. “When we entered into this partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, we always had our eye on growing services within the Clinic system in order to provide as many services as possible so that people don’t have to leave Tuscarawas County for their healthcare,” said Bruce James, President and CEO of Union Hospital. “While it takes time to identify, properly plan and then complete expansion, the work already has begun with the guidance of the Clinic’s professionals and experts. The transition itself overall has been very positive since both of our organizations are focused on one overall mission, and that is serving the patient first and foremost.” SEE UNION, PAGE 21

Bloom’s Printing keeps up with technology as industry changes By Jon Baker Times-Reporter staff writer

DENNISON loom’s Printing continues to thrive as the printing industry constantly changes. Just about gone are the days of the old printing presses. About 80 percent of what the company produces is done on digital presses. The turnaround time for printing jobs also has greatly decreased. “We’re still close to what we used to do 10 or 15 years ago,” said owner Rick Bloom Jr. “It’s just that we’re doing it faster.” For instance, a football program might have taken Bloom’s Printing two to three days to print. Now it can be done in three hours. Bloom said it isn’t unusual for a salesman from an area industry who is planning to leave on a plane on Saturday morning to send Bloom’s a file on Friday at 4 p.m. and need 1,000 color brochures before he leaves. “We can do that now, but we charge a premium for that,” Bloom said. “We make the majority of our money on fast turnaround.” Bloom’s Printing, located at 4792 N. Fourth St. Extension SE, Dennison, has been in business for three decades. At one time, it employed 13 people. Now it has seven. “We could definitely take more volume on, but it’s hard to get,” he said. “There’s been a lot of printing companies close, but there’s still a few of us around.” The majority of the company’s business is in Tuscarawas County, but it also has customers in Wooster, Canton and even as far away as Florida.

Bloom’s does printing for many area organizations and businesses including Trinity Hospital Twin City in Dennison and Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital in Dover. “We still have a lot of dedicated customers,” said the company’s founder, Rick Bloom Sr. Technology in the printing industry changes constantly.

Page 23

“With digital presses, we can print on plastic now,” said Rick Bloom Jr. “It’s expensive, but we can do it.” He noted that today’s flat-bed printers can print on anything, including wood and glass. Plans for the future include purchasing one of those printers once Bloom’s has paid off some of its equipment purchases.

SSB Community Bank up and running in Strasburg By Barb Limbacher Times-Reporter correspondent

STRASBURG he new SSB Community Bank, located at 152 North Wooster Ave., opened in August, 2018. The 8,000 square-foot single story brick structure cost about $2.5 million. Doug Hensel, president of SSB Community Bank, said in 2012 the bank, which was formerly located at 224 N. Bodmer Ave., began to offer additional products to customers, from fixed rates, checking accounts, products enhancement and addition of commercial lending and the hiring of additional staff. Hensel said the new building has more space and is the headquarters of the bank and its other branch, which is located in Berlin (2015) and possible other branches to be opened in the future. The entrance of the bank faces Second Street NW and the drive

through/ATM and night drop off lanes are located on the west side of the building. There is a large parking lot. Inside, each teller has an individual station and the drive-through is located in a separate area. There is a lobby and many individual rooms and offices in which to discuss private matters. “Before we decided to construct a new bank, I approached the six board members and asked if it was their intention to keep the bank an independent community bank for the next 50 years,” Hensel said. “Their

answer was ‘yes.’ “I also asked regardless of how many branches we would commit to, the main office will stay in Strasburg. The board answered ‘yes.’ ” The board has made a major commitment to Strasburg. Hensel said the building was designed for growth and more staff was hired to accommodate the customers. He said the customer traffic has increased, the reception from the public has been good and new accounts are being opened. “We are looking forward to

the future of serving the community and continued growth,” Hensel said. “The bank has grown from $40 in assets to $90 million in 2017. The historic site of the new bank structure once housed The Garver Brother’s Store, a shopping mall before it time. After Garver’s closed its doors in 1970, the building was used for businesses. Winnie and the late Vic Gessner purchased the building and it became The Garver’s Flea Market until it burned to the ground in October 2010. The land was vacant until the bank officials purchased it in 2012. Work began on the new bank in 2017. In 1924, the original Savings and Loan came into being — at least on paper — at 126 North Wooster Ave., where the Number I Chinese Restaurant is located. The Savings and Loan officially opened for business Dec. 12, 1925, with one employee, the late Jacob Miller. Robert J. Miller made the

first deposit and Ervin Troyer received the first loan on opening day. The cost of the bank was $7,750 with the fixtures costing an additional $500. Customers also could pay their electric, water and gas bills at the site. Today, customers can pay their water and sewer bills for Strasburg, and Tuscarawas County property taxes. In 1943 Gertrude Cobes became the first office clerk and the second full-time employee. After 35 years, bank officials purchased 1.44 acres of land on Bodmer Avenue at a cost of $8,664. In 1963, Dreher and Dreher Construction Company began building the new bank and it was completed and occupied in October 1963. In 1964, Gene Hensel was hired at the bank and in 1966 was named as only the second managing officer of the company. Gene Hensel later was named president and recently retired. There are 23 employees.

Buckeye Landscaping Name of Business: Buckeye Landscapes & Design LLC Address: 2247 Brightwood Road SE, New Philadelphia Phone: 330-339-1101 Office Hours: 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. In business since: 2015 Owners: Michael & Krista Manfull Services: Landscape/Hardscape design & installation; landscape lighting; irrigation systems; french drains; lawn installation; ponds & waterfalls; snow & ice removal. What’s is store for 2019: We hope to continue growing our business’s reputation within our community as a knowledgeable, high quality, creative landscape company. Things for people to know: Buckeye Landscapes & Design LLC, was founded in 2015 by Michael and Krista Manfull. They started out with nothing but a pick up truck, trailer and a dream of creating a successful landscape business for their growing family. At the time, they had a 1-year-old boy and a baby girl on the way. “We knew we had knowledge of the

industry & determination on our side. We both became involved in the horticulture industry at a young age and continued down the horticultural path into adulthood. Michael has been working in the landscape industry for the past 20 years,” Krista said. “I grew up spending a lot of time at my grandfather’s garden center creating a passion for horticulture, which lead me to continue my education in the field. I graduated from The Ohio State University-ATI (Agricultural Technical Institute) in 2004 with an Associates degree in Landscape Horticulture and continued on to The Ohio State University where I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Horticultural Science (concentrating in design) with a minor in Natural Resources.” One thing most people don’t know about our business: We feel it is important to

consider our local environment when creating designs or devising solutions to landscape issues for out clients, generating spaces that will last. A few examples of environmental factors we

consider are; climate (USDA hardiness zone), directional exposure to light and wind, plant species deemed invasive by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, and access to water or possible drainage issues. Focusing on the unique elements of each space and considering various environmental stresses allows us to bring natural character to our designs and support native wildlife. Favorite part of our community: There are

too many wonderful aspects of our community to really narrow it down to just one part as our favorite. We love the rich history & strong sense of community within Tuscarawas County, as well as the abundance of natural resources and opportunities for outdoor activities & learning.
