DOWNTOWN FACILITY EXPECTED TO OPEN LATE-2016/EARLY-2017
By JO ANN BOBBY-GILBERT jgilbert@reviewonline.com
EAST LIVERPOOL — A major renovation of two downtown buildings is well under way, preparing them for the New Castle School of Trades’ vocational school. The $7.2 million project was initiated four years ago under the administration of former Mayor Jim Swoger when city officials approached the school about locating here, according to Jim Buttermore, NCST director. He said the cooperation and excitement of everyone — from

the Better City group, Swoger and planning Director Bill Cowan to the East Liverpool Community Partnership for Revitalization, Rosemary Mackall of the Lou Holtz Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame and new Mayor Ryan Stovall — “made this an easy decision for us.” The ground-breaking was held this past October, during which Buttermore and other NCST officials spoke of their commitment to the city and plans to operate within the school’s five core val-
ues: character, connection, communication, consistency and competence. Despite the extensive remodeling needed on both the former Ogilvie’s Department Store and Woolworth’s buildings, the project is currently on track, according to Buttermore, who said the intent is for construction to be complete by September. The Ogilvie’s building had the least damage of the two, but still needed considerable improvements to be adapted for the school’s needs, Buttermore said. See TRADES, Page 19A

OHIO BIBLE COLLEGE
51049 CalcuttaSmith Ferry Road Calcutta, Ohio 330-382-1151 By STEPHEN HUBA shuba@reviewonline.com CALCUTTA — Like the Christian movement with which it identifies, Northeast Ohio Bible College is unapologetically independent. The private, four-year Bible school, located on a 14-acre campus at 51049 Calcutta-Smith Ferry Road, chooses not to seek accreditation or accept government-backed financial aid in order to maintain that independence. “The government and the accrediting associations just destroy your Bible program,” said President Don Cooper. “You have to have so many of what I call underwater basketweaving classes.”
Don Cooper, president of Northeast Ohio Bible College, teaches a psychology class at the Calcutta campus. (Submitted photo) Cooper said colleges and universities that are accredited and accept federal funds eventually become beholden to those entities. For a Christian school, he said, that could lead to unacceptable compromises. “We do feel comfortable with our school even though we’re not accredited. ... The government is just sticking their nose in more and
more,” Cooper said. Founded in Akron in 1995, NEOBC moved to Calcutta in 2003 and currently offers two diploma programs for people seeking pulpit and youth ministry opportunities in the independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. The bachelor’s diploma in Christian ministry is not necessary for ordination, however,
A trusted haven for area seniors and their families
CALCUTTA — CrossRoads Assisted Living was built in 2007, by the Holden family with the intention of becoming a leader in the senior care industry. By providing stellar care and employing our areas’ best, CrossRoads, which is privately-owned and family-run, has become a trusted haven for area seniors and their families, currently caring for 64 seniors and employing 50 people. In February 2015, CrossRoads introduced a new addition to its community, a secure memory care unit named: True North. Each of us has a “True North” – our internal compass, our guiding force along life’s journey. Our True North wing is designed to help families find direction for their loved ones living with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. True North was designed to provide residents and their families with a sense of

Although NEOBC is exploring having its own master’s program, its graduates have gone on to graduate-level theology and Bible programs at Cincinnati Christian
University (formerly Cincinnati Bible College & Seminary), Emmanuel Christian Seminary (formerly Emmanuel School of Religion), of Johnson City, Tenn., and Lincoln Christian University (formerly Lincoln Christian College & Seminary), of Lincoln, Ill., Cooper said.

Progress abounds at WMC
■ HANCOCK COUNTY
Special to The Review
WEIRTON — “We are proud to announce another baby has just entered the world here at Weirton Medical Center.” Those are the words being heard now more than ever throughout the halls of Weirton Medical Center. “We began making that announcement over our in-house announcement system after each baby delivery as a way to inform our patients, staff and guests of the significance of that very moment. Another human being just took his or her first breaths here at our hospital,” says Kelli McCoy, director of communications. “It really sends a certain peace over the entire facility when you hear those words.” Staff, patients and visitors have heard those words hundreds and hundreds of times in the past 12 months. The number of births at WMC has doubled in recent years to the highest rate since 1972. The providers at All About Women, together with Madhu Aggarwal, are delivering babies from three states. The first baby born in the Ohio Valley in 2016 was born at WMC. Little Ambrosia Cooper was born early on Jan. 1 to much jubilation and fanfare in WMC’s Obstetrics Unit. WMC was already the largest women’s health provider in the Route 22/30 Corridor, and with the addition of new obstetrics and gynecology physician Joann Dudley, MD, WMC continues to grow. Also on the WMC team is experienced and respected Certified Nurse Midwife,
Future WMC plans include the addition of a new, state-ofthe art BreastCare Center led by Carol Slomski, MD, breast surgery. Plans are under way to construct the multi-million dollar facility adjacent to All About Women on the lobby level of the WMC Medical Office Building.
Kathy McKain. These providers join Tina Cutone, MD; Rachel Gilman, MD; Kelly DeVoogd, DO; Daniel Moore, MD; Erin Wallace, MPA, PA-C; and Kristin Novic, MPA, PA-C to make up the growing All About Women team. While WMC continues to celebrate the baby boom, there’s much more happening worth attention. WMC boasts a 39 percent increase in employment (350 new jobs) since 2012. In what is often described as a tough medical climate across the country, WMC has bucked the trend of struggling health care organizations by not only drastically increasing employment, but also by growing its revenue by 64 percent. WMC’s annual payroll
Dr. Carol Slomski is photographed in the WMC Courtyard with the 2016 Slomski Survivors. These breast cancer survivors prove they are surviving and thriving. (Submitted photos) has grown to $60 million, while the organization has invested more than $26.5 million into the facility and services. Technology is at the top of the list of those many investments. From robotic surgery/robotic heart surgery technology to 3D breast tomosynthesis, the hospital is investing in the latest equipment to best serve the community. It doesn’t stop there, though. In addition to building a new WMC Sleep Center in the new WMC Plaza, WMC has opened the WeirtonSteubenville Route 22/30 Corridor’s only Pediatric Rehabilitation Center. It too is located at the new WMC Plaza. WMC has even expended its footprint by opening more offices in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In fact, just this week, WMC announced the opening of new offices in New Cumberland. Now Dr. John Capito, internal medicine, and Dr. Daniel Moore, OB/GYN, will be accepting new patients at the location in the Davis Pharmacy building on Route 2. WMC also opened new offices in McDonald, Pa. Internal medicine physician Hemant Patani, MD, is

Rheumatologist Ghassan Alayli, MD, is now also seeing patients in both Robinson Township, Pa., offices in addition to his Weirton offices. WMC also is pleased to welcome Neurologist Vijaya Ragoor, MD. She is seeing patients in her Paris, Pa., office with fellow Neurologists David Lobas, MD, and Joseph Wapenski, MD.
We are pleased to continue to bring leading physicians to WMC. For it is without them and WMC’s valued staff, none of these significant developments could be possible. While recently marking one year of service, the WMC Cancer Center affiliated with Allegheny Health Network continues to grow and serve those who need cancer care in our area. While we know it’s never easy to hear the word “cancer,” we want our
patients to know we are here. We are here for them every step of the way on their journey. In the near future, look for the addition of a new, state-of-the art BreastCare Center led by Carol Slomski, MD, breast surgery. Plans are under way to construct the multi-million dollar facility adjacent to All About Women on the lobby level of the WMC Medical Office Building. With the addition of the BreastCare Center, WMC would have a complete women’s health wing, with each service just steps away from the next. So when it comes to progress, WMC exemplifies what community investment and true progress is all about: Contributing to a healthier community, helping to grow the local economy and giving back, every day.

‘When Seconds Count ... You Can Count On LifeTeam!’
The fleet of LifeTeam EMS. (Submitted photo) The following information appears on Lifeteam’s website (www.lifeteamems.com) and was authored by Frank “Digger” Dawson. According to Lifeteam, “The following text was clipped from the internet a few years ago from the site of Dawson Funeral Home. Its accuracy is not being doubted, but is unable to be verified by Lifeteam EMS thus is not to be relied upon to base any decision.” EAST LIVERPOOL — For more than half a century, the funeral homes in East Liverpool, Ohio, provided ambulance service for the community. Like most small towns, the local mortician owned carriages and horses capable of transporting the dead, so why not the living? Never fully-trained or equipped, these “hometown heroes” became “knights of the road” with not much more at their disposal in their converted hearses than a cot, a half-full oxygen bottle, under-sized sputum pan and enough red lights to illuminate a half dozen Christmas trees. It was 1967, when the local funeral homes employed a public relations guru from Canton, Bob Fehlman, to assist us with an exit strategy from the ambulance business. His name came to us by way of a National Selected Morticians group meeting where he was credited with assisting other small town firms wanting to abandon the business. (Some business –
LIFETEAM EMS

Liverpool, Ohio 330-386-5505 St. Clair Avenue Calcutta, Ohio 330-385-0000 the highest price charged at that time was $15 per call, even if it meant waiting an hour for x-rays to dry before the patient was taken to their room) Fehlman, who was a one-time employee of WHBC Radio, put together a plan which called for us to drop the service on a given day and let the chips fall where they may. The date was set and each of us was assigned the task of informing city officials, the schools, ministers and media of our decision on a fateful Monday morning. There were six of us involved: Alvin and Pete Arner, Harry and Dick Martin, along with my father, Frank A. Dawson, and myself. Things went well, and within three weeks a smooth departure was accomplished. So who came to the rescue and what happened to our vehicles? At Fehlman’s suggestion, we were not to give them to the city (too generous), not to help someone get into the business (too stupid), and, by all means, never to make another ambulance call or even give a referral for one.
Each of us had top-ofthe-line cars, not vans; ours was a brand-new baby blue Cadillac and Martins had a green Packard (although Carman Perorazio of Milligan Hardware fame, who then worked for Martin’s, says they had switched to Cadillacs). The Dawson vehicle was sold to the Sommerset, Pa., Volunteer Fire Department. Who knows where the others went? Within days of our announcement, potential operators came out of the woodwork. One of these was Bob D’Anniballe from Steubenville. Another was the late Jim Walker who, through a franchise agreement with the city, was currently operating the local taxi company under the name of Safeway Cab. The city sought and enacted similar licensing control over the ambulance business, and still does charge a modest fee to the taxi and ambulance companies. Needless to say, Walker got the contract and began operating as Lynn Ambulance out of the former fire station on Lisbon Street hill. It was erroneously rumored that Lynn McFadden of Toronto backed Walker, thus the name; but according to his widow, Pat, this was untrue. While McFadden was a taxi and ambulance driver for Walker, he had no financial interest, and the name was actually derived from a funeral home in Youngstown, which
Walker liked. Another early player was Youngstown’s Dan Becker who eventually came to town in 1971 with his Gold Cross Co. He lasted only long enough to sell to a group headed by Dave Pugh, Norm Elteringham, Jerry Esken and John Williams. Dr. David Pugh was a financial backer and a young John Diddle
became an employee, working out of the old railroad station on Second Street. The name was changed to Tri-County Ambulance and moved to the Litten Motor Building at the corner of East Fifth and Walnut as Diddle began a quest to buy out the Pugh contingent. He also hired Lynn McFadden. By 1972, we had two ambulance companies,
locally-owned and dueling for the business. John Diddle was working hard to build up his newly-acquired TriCounty Ambulance Co., while Jim Walker was also trying to make a go of it with Lynn Ambulance. Both companies moved from place to place for one reason or another. According to Diddle, he was twice displaced by See LIFETEAM, Page 13A

709 Armstrong Lane East Liverpool, Ohio 330-382-0101 By STEPHEN HUBA shuba@reviewonline.com EAST LIVERPOOL — Recovering from hip surgery or a heart attack is never easy, but a new facility under construction in East Liverpool hopes to make the rehabilitation process easier. The Fox family, owners of The Orchards at Foxcrest in Chester, plans to open the Orchards Rehab Suites on Armstrong Lane by midsummer. The rehab unit will offer services such as orthopedic surgery recovery, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, wound care, stroke rehabilitation, 24-hour nursing care and outpatient therapy services. “The goal is to get people back home more quickly,” said Scott Fox, owner of The Orchards with his brother, Jim Fox. The Orchards broke ground on the facility last year after purchasing the old Adkins Care Center in late 2014, investing $1.5 million into improvements so far. “Right now, we are on-time and onbudget,” Fox said, attributing the progress to general contractor Mike DiLoreto Construction. “They have been progressing cleanly to this

When the building is done, it will have 12 private, boutique-style suites designed for a younger clientele, or, as Fox describes them, “folks who intend to go home” after a surgery or a stroke or a cardiac event. “It’s not going to look like a typical nursing facility,” he said, noting that rooms that used to hold two or three people will now house one. Each room will have a kitchenette,
a bathroom and step-in shower, a bedroom, a TV and Wi-Fi service, he said. The 8,000-square-foot facility will have an expanded rehab area, complete with state-of-the-art therapy equipment, a common area and a dining room. “The common area will be smaller and will have a much warmer feeling,” he said. An average stay at the Orchards Rehab Suites will be anywhere from seven to 20 days, with the first three to five days after surgery being the most critical, said Matt Murray, administrator of The Orchards of East Liverpool. Staff at the facility will include RNs, LPNs, and culinary, housekeep-

Restoration Movement churches eschew creeds and denominational labels and seek to follow the New Testament model of church polity. They stress the importance of baptism and the regular reception of communion. However, Cooper said the school’s 60 students also come from other Christian traditions, including Presbyterian, Baptist and Congregationalist. They take classes at three campuses: Calcutta, Steubenville and Danville, Ohio. “We cater primarily to students who are older and know they want to go into ministry and cannot afford an accredited college,” he said. Both diplomas require 120 credit hours, at a cost of $30 per credit hour. Students who wish to audit a class may do so for $10 per credit hour. Online courses are $50 per credit hour.

Some sections of the nursing facility will have to be closed during construction. “It’s hard to renovate an occupied building,” he said.

EAST LIVERPOOL — On Dec. 7, 2015, Dr. Robert Walker began seeing his patients at his new location within East Liverpool City Hospital. Dr. Walker, a longtime area psychologist, moved his practice to the 6th floor of the hospital next to River Valley Orthopedic Services. He will continue with his medical staff privileges at East Liverpool City Hospital where he is a member of the Bioethics Committee and Medical Executive Committee as well as the Chair of the Institutional Review Board. The hospital is located at 425 W. 5th Street, East Liverpool. This new arrangement is quite convenient for his patients; there is adequate parking available, including handicapped parking. In addition, East Liverpool City Hospital offers free valet parking. The newly-renovated office is spacious and inviting. Dr. Walker will also continue to be an active faculty member at Kent State-East Liverpool, where he has taught in the Department of Psychology for the past 27 years. Appointments can be scheduled by calling Dr. Walker’s office at 330-386-2047.
Capital FROM PAGE 6A what home health is.” Our primary goal in providing care at home is to help you or your loved ones recover from a surgery or illness as quickly as possible and keep you safe at home. One of the ways that this is through a readmission reduction program. With each admission, a hospitalization risk assessment is completed. Depending on the outcome, Capital Health Home Care may provide, at no cost to the patient, a variety of tools to help make that possible. These tools can include Telehealth monitoring, personal emergency response systems, fall pendants, medication monitoring and alerts, frequent phone and inperson contact and our “Call the Nurse First” program. We are available 24/7 to answer questions and help with any concerns. Often, a visit to the ER can be avoided with one simple call. “There is so much focus being put upon reducing rehospitalizations across the nation and right here in the Ohio Valley that we feel it is very important to have added measures to help keep people safe at home. So much can happen in such a short period of time and without the right monitoring systems in place, it’s
easy for anyone to end up back in the hospital,” Watkins said. Any Medicare recipient that qualifies for home health and has a diagnosis of Chronic Heart Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, diabetes, hypertension and multiple medications would qualify for some or all of the Telehealth and Home Safety tools that Carriage Inn Home Care can provide. These tools include Vitals Monitoring and Telehealth, Medication Monitoring, Fall Detection Pendant and Personal Emergency Response Systems. When you choose Capital Health Home Care (Carriage Inn Home Care) as your home care provider, they will automatically determine if you would qualify to have the added peace of mind and safety of any or all of the tools. “There is no added cost to any Medicare recipient,” said Watkins, “It’s just that important to help you stay out of the hospital, that the agency picks up that cost.” Not only can you have the equipment to help keep you safe while you are receiving care, but you can even keep some or all of them and pay out of pocket if you choose to keep that added peace of mind. The rule of
thumb in home care is that the worst situations only occur nights, weekends or on holidays. Home care is a 24-7-365 business. The staff members at Carriage Inn want you to know that they have a very clear process for managing problems outside of regular business hours. No matter what the need or when the need arises, you will always reach a live person. We also specialize in providing physical, occupational and speech therapy at home as well as private duty aide services, such as personal care, errand services, meal preparation, laundry and homemaking. We have an incredible in-home orthopedic rehab program for our seniors. Most of the time, seniors expect to have to be away from their homes for an extended time to receive therapy. Our program allows people to return home to their loved ones and pets. When you choose Carriage Inn Home Care (Capital Health Home Care), your therapy can actually begin before you have surgery. Our therapist will visit you at home a week or so in advance and complete a home safety assessment. We will help you determine what adaptive tools you
may need to best help you, like grab bars in the bathroom or a temporary raised toilet set. You’ll get a presurgery assessment and be given some exercises to do at home in preparation for your procedure. With this program, you’ll know exactly what to expect when you get home and the transition will be much easier. We then provide more intensive therapy the first week and plan following weeks according to your progress. We’ll even keep your physician informed on your behalf along the way. All you have to do is ask for us. We’ll take it from there. Every home care company has good quality people and you should expect great care no matter who you choose to have provide it. Inviting people into your home to provide care can be a great experience for you, your family and the caregiver. You will become an inter-dependent group of people who each have a role. Carriage Inn Home Care Administrator Shari Jo Watkins invites anyone to give her a call at 704-2648815 or toll-free at 800-676-2106, sharing, “I want to be your personal champion. I hope you’ll ask for us.”

LifeTeam FROM PAGE 5A the freeway construction, the first being from a building on Union Street, owned by John McCaughtry, and next from the old Rail Road Station on Second Street. By the mid-1980s, Tri-County was on West Fifth Street, next to the Fricano Building. Then, when the Odd Fellows apartment was built in 1999, Diddle moved to the former Golden Star Dairy Building on Webber Way, the present location. In the meantime, Lynn Ambulance was also on the move. From the ancient Lisbon Street Fire Station, the company was relocated to the one-time Paramount Gas Station on Dresden (presently Gilkinson’s DriveThru) then Jim Walker’s home off West Ninth Street, where he also operated Safeway Cab and, for awhile, a shuttle service for railroad employees. Allen McGaffic served as general manager of the company during those fledging years. With so many balls in the air, along with the challenge of his political interests and major diabetes problems, it became clear to Walker that he needed to seek relief. Enter Dr. Gene Samuelson owner of the Potters Medical Center on West Sixth Street, most recently the site of the VA Clinic. Samuelson was an opportunist, if there ever was one, but even he could not make a go of the ambulance service in East Liverpool and sought help from a Lorain, Ohio, businessman named Ray Strohacker, who was then working as a consultant to Potters Medical and made a financial commitment to keep the company afloat. By 1987, Strohacker had acquired the company stock in exchange for money owed him by Samuelson. He quickly changed the name to LIFETEAM and hired a young Kelly Betteridge as director of operations. According to Kelly, everything was changed, as Strohacker wanted to give the company a revamped look. New uniforms, updated vehicles and even a new Medicare number were
www.lifeteamems.com part of the plan. The only things that stayed the same as the original were the phone number (386-5505) and dispatcher Lois Buckel, who was with Walker from the start in 1967. Two other long-time employees, Mary Lou King, who started in 1975, and Bill Jones, remain. Currently assistant chief of the EL Fire Department, Jones began with the company prior to his graduation from ELHS in 1979. Bob Swickard, who serves as, among other things, a suture tech in the ER at ELCH, an employee of Commercial Decal, a St. Clair Township trustee and a Beaver Local School booster has also been with LIFETEAM from the earliest times. Under Ray Strohacker, new headquarters were established for LIFETEAM at 142 West 7th St., now the site of Kenny Olmstead’s laundromat/video store, and eventually, to the present location in the former Carroll Motor Building at 740 Dresden. The office is located next to Italo’s Pizza on the first floor where the first person to greet you is Lois Buckel. Kelly Betteridge and Mary Lou King work in a rear office where all calls are recorded on a computer, unlike the old reel-to-reel tape devices. Four advance life support (ALS) vehicles and one ambulette are housed in a roof top garage next to Jack Vodrey’s tennis club. The fees at LIFETEAM run from $365 basic up through $665 for ALS. Tri-County appears to be less ($250 to $500) although each company accepts what Medicare pays, which is in the range of $145 for a basic call. The two competing ambulance companies’ headquarters are now located within 100 yards of each other. At some point, David Poole was the general manager of LIFETEAM and Candy Solterbeck did the billing. Kelly Betteridge returned to East Liverpool from Mesa, Ariz.,

where she had moved following graduation from Beaver Local High School in 1981. Rick Steffen, brother of Huck, was an early employee of Lynn Ambulance along with all of Jim and Patty Walker’s kids and others, including Randy Taylor, East Liverpool High School teacher. Walker’s shuttle service for the railroad was used to return engineers and conductors home from distant locations. Union rules limited the amount of time they could spend riding the rails. A large garage was built at the Walker home to house all the vehicles. Patty Walker still lives at the May Street address where a sign proudly bears the name: “Jim Walker Way”. Ray Strohacker now resides in Amherst, Ohio and seldom comes to East Liverpool. Finally, a lot of water has gone over the dam since the funeral homes started transporting patients and the city was served by just three ambulances staffed by mostly untrained attendants. Since the end of Digger’s story… Our staffing is now NEVER staffed with anyone without EMT certification. Units have been purchased every few years, and our late model fleet can be seen daily on the roads
in the Valley. In 2012, Ray Strohacker made the decision to retire from the life of operating a business with 24-hour responsibility, and Lifeteam was purchased by Ken and Colleen Joseph, (both paramedics) of Carrollton and joined forces with EMT Ambulance which was started by Ken in 1996 and Tri State Ambulance. Since this time, Lifeteam has purchased a brand new station on St. Clair Avenue, and updated our equipment to include 750-pound capacity Stryker power cots, Stryker Evacuation Chairs, pulse oximetry, capnography, on board ventilators, 12 lead transmitting heart monitors and various other treatment and diagnostic equipment. As we understand, (disclaimer in case misunderstood by us) in 2016, John Diddle made the decision to sell Tri-County Ambulance to Ambulance Service Inc. of Steubenville. We don’t know much of the details of this, but want to say, John Diddle was a proper, honorable and classy competitor. During the many years of competition, the patients always were placed first by both services, regardless of the situation. John Diddle through his long career has made a solid and very positive difference in the lives of MANY residents of our area.

Caldwell FROM PAGE 9A works hard as a team to provide the best dental care possible and to keep our patients smiling. We offer numerous dental services for the whole family that will help you maintain good oral health and keep you smiling: Digital radiography is used in our office, which gives us the ability to take x-rays with less radiation exposure time and better diagnostic quality than the conventional x-rays. Hygiene is the key to good oral health. This includes having a professional cleaning and exam every six months and receiving fluoride treatments. Fluoride treatments are not just for children, as fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay and also helps with teeth that are sensitive. In continuing our efforts to provide the most advanced technology and highest standard of care to our patients, this practice is proud to announce the inclusion of IDENTAFI, the latest technology in finding oral cancer as a option for our patients annually. IDENTAFI uses various wavelengths of light as a multi-spectral fluorescence and reflectance technology to aid in the dental professional in seeing oral abnormalities that are, or could be, cancer. Dental restoration or dental filling is a dental restorative material used to restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure. The structural loss typically results from cavities or external trauma. Dental crown: a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth—to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength and improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Dental implants from “Start to Finish”: A dental implant is a safe and effective way to replace a single tooth or several teeth. Dental implants are becoming the treatment of choice when replacing missing teeth. We will schedule a consultation to determined how we can best replace missing teeth for a patient. Orthodontics (braces): our office is equipped to do complete orthodontic cases. We are also able to offer our adult patients, who want straighter teeth, six-month braces. Dr. Caldwell will determine which type of treatment is best for the patient after doing a complete orthodontic workup. In addition to preventive and restorative procedures, we offer professional tooth whitening. Our tooth whitening is safe and effective and can give you a brighter smile in as little as two weeks. Our office is LATEX FREE for those with latex allergies. Dr. Caldwell is very active in his community. Every year he hosts “Give Kids a Smile Day” in his office. It is a day for dentists and dental professionals to volunteer to serve the area school children with free dentistry, dental education and fun. This year we saw students from area schools. We perform routine dental exams, cleanings, sealants and fluoride treatments. Each student receives a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss as well as education about keeping their teeth healthy. All of this is provided to the children free of charge. Our office runs a food drive and collects donations for the local food pantry during December. Dr. Caldwell and his staff attend numerous continuing education classes to stay up on all of the latest advances in dentistry. This year Dr. Caldwell and staff are learning about taking care of patients with sleep apnea or snoring problems. We bill most insurance companies and payment options are available. Our office manager, Denise, would be happy to discuss these options and assist with any questions regarding dental insurance or budgeting needs. Call 330-385-9496 for an appointment today.

US hiring reaches 9-year high; job openings slip
■ NATION
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. hiring jumped to a nine-year high in February, a sign of robust business demand for new workers, while the number of open positions slipped. The Labor Department reported April 5 that 5.4 million people found jobs, a 5.8 percent jump from January and the most since November 2006. More Americans also quit their jobs. Both figures point to a healthier, more dynamic labor market. Businesses have been reluctant to accelerate hiring for much of the nearly seven year old recovery. But the raw hiring numbers have now returned to pre-recession levels. That suggests businesses are more confident about the economy’s future. Tuesday’s figures track total hiring. The monthly jobs report released last week calculates a net total of job gains after subtracting those who quit, retired or were laid off. The latest jobs report showed that employers added a solid 215,000 positions in March, while the unemployment rate rose to 5 percent from 4.9 percent. Yet the increase in the rate occurred mostly for positive reasons: More Americans began hunting for jobs, though not all were immediately hired. That pushed up the number of unemployed, despite the job gain. Employers are adding jobs at a steady clip, even as the economy has shown some signs of slowing. Americans barely increased their spending in February for the third month in a row, holding back growth and pointing to ongoing caution despite the job gains. Many analysts now expect the economy will expand at just a 1 percent annual rate or less in the first three months of this year, after a tepid 1.4 percent increase in last year’s fourth quarter. But employers’ willingness to fill jobs suggests they see the slowdown as mostly temporary. Cheaper gas and modest wage gains are putting more money in Americans’ pockets, which could boost spending and growth in the coming months. The number of people quitting their jobs rose to a healthy 2.95 million in February, though that remained just below December’s recent peak. Workers typically quit when they have another job lined up, usually for higher pay. So more quitting is generally a good sign for the economy. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen monitors the hiring and quits figures closely to gauge the job market’s health. Some recent data suggests the economy is stabilizing, after slower growth overseas and sluggish spending dragged down growth in the first quarter. Manufacturing expanded in March for the first time in six months, according to a survey of purchasing managers by the Institute for Supply Management. New orders and output grew. And services companies, such as banks, retailers and hotels, grew more quickly in March than the previous month, according to a separate ISM survey.

Trades FROM PAGE 1A First up was a new roof and repair of water damage, followed by new joists and supports and replacing all windows that had to comply with the city’s historic district designation. “It is supposed to look like it did in the day. The windows are supposed to match the appearance of the old ones. We had to have them custom-made,” Buttermore said. The original tin ceilings were re-done where possible, although not all could be replaced due to the extraordinary cost of reproducing them. New walls were framed in and covered with drywall to divide the building into eight classrooms for electrical/industrial maintenance and commercial truck driving courses, with plans to add a course in heating and air conditioning within the first year. A reception area and administrative offices round out the bottom floor of the Ogilvie’s building, which also has a large upstairs space which has not yet been earmarked for any use. The Woolworth’s building had extensive damage and was filled with debris that had to first be removed, Buttermore said. “It was really bad. The roof had basically fallen in,” he said. “There is quite a bit of work to be done there, but it’s going good.” The first floor of the Woolworth’s building will be designed for the welding program, with the second floor designed as a community room for meetings, both for school and public use. The brick facade will be maintained, with Buttermore pointing out, “The front architecture is beautiful, but the building will get a whole new roof and floor.” In addition to the classroom space in the two buildings, the NCST project includes a truck driving range on about two acres behind

A total transformation is under way at the former Ogilvie Department Store in downtown East Liverpool, which will become a New Castle School of Trades vocational school. Westgate School where students in the commercial driving program will be able to practice parking and maneuvering tractor-trailers. The driving course will be constructed on the site of an existing basketball court which is to be relocated to another spot in the city. Buttermore emphasized the course will be used during the daytime, meaning the area will be freed up for parking when needed for events at Patterson Field. General contractor for the project is Stitle Construction of Salem, with Sayre Electric of East Liverpool, Tolson Heating of Salem, Ellyson Plumbing of Salem and Extreme Demo of East Liverpool also contracted for the project. “It was the intent to keep the work in Columbiana County as
much as we can. I knew Stitle is good, and they have proven it so far. He has done a tremendous job,” Buttermore said, also crediting Sayre Electric for “getting a lot done” on the electrical work. He credited Stitle for the project being on track as it is. Plans call for up to 250 students, both recent graduates and non-traditional, to enroll within two years of the school’s opening late this year or early in 2017. “We could do more, but we think that’s a realistic number,” Buttermore said. Classes will be offered during the day and evening. “We’re looking forward to finishing it and being there. “It’s going to be a really neat project. We’re excited,” Buttermore said.

EAST LIVERPOOL—From the time classes began in the International Brotherhood of Operative Potters building in 1965 until the present day, Kent State University has increasingly become a part of life in East Liverpool. Today, it is an anchor for the city—the only “downtown” campus among the eight campuses in the Kent State regional system. “We feel that we are vital to the success of the community. We’re very tied to the community,” said Dr. Susan Rossi, assistant dean. The Kent State East Liverpool campus comprises Purinton Hall, the Mary Patterson Building and, most recently, the James and Margaret Locke Occupational Therapy Facility. Located at 134 W.

46088 Bell School Road Calcutta, Ohio 330-385-6831
By STEVE RAPPACH srappach@reviewonline.com CALCUTTA — With a new location and a new design and way of handling classes, Beaver Local Schools is looking toward the future. For more than 56 years, Beaver Local Schools has provided quality public education for students throughout East Liverpool, Calcutta, West Point, Rogers, Negley, Elkton, Lisbon and other areas. Today, all of the students are joined together in one new state-of-the-art facility on Bell School Road as they experience everyday learning in a 21st century environment. From the first graduating class of 1959 until last May, the Beaver Local School District previously consisted of five schools: Beaver Local High School on state Route 7, Beaver Local Middle School on Bell School Road, Calcutta Elementary on state Route 170, Rogers Elementary on Sprucevale Road, and West Point Elementary on West Point Road. The ages and conditions of these five facilities, however, provided a cause for concern throughout the years, and the district sought passage of a 5.223 mill bond issue used toward construction of a new K12 building. In March 2012, voters approved the proposed levy and construction got underway later that year. The facility was completed in August 2015, just in time for the current school year. The new facility provides the same services but now offers more under one roof, and as Superintendent Lou Ramunno pointed out, the experience is a change from the past “It’s been very different,” Ramunno said. “It’s like moving into a

You try to understand the spaces that you have. You try to understand how you get around the building the best, how to utilize the spaces where you store stuff, how there is studying. Those are all new things. They’re getting comfortable in their spaces.”
Each of the schools are now positioned in pods, rather than halls, to provide for better interaction among students. The pods include classrooms that can be either confined to a single standard classroom or opened to include other classrooms and classes for joint-demon-
strations. With the new building also came new technology, including Wi-Fi access, smartboards and iPads for the students and teachers to be able to access for homework and various projects. “We have a Superintendent’s
Advisory committee, and I’ve asked the kids, what are the strengths of the Beaver Local building and what do they like, and they talked about the technology and they talked about the language spaces they have,” Ramunno said. Along with the stu-
dents benefiting from the new experience, the superintendent mentioned the teachers and parents also are able to benefit from the new services. He mentioned the interactivity with other teachers, noting the entire staff is now under one roof as opposed to five different sites. “We’re only six months old, so we’re still trying to understand how we can deliver education better and differently because we’re all under one site,” Ramunno said. “How we can use our resources and our people resources: kids helping other kids. The creativity that our fine arts program has to really express our creativity through plays and productions and projects now in beautiful spaces with ease in support of the technology. “The utilization of the staff as far as efficiency of scheduling, and also the proximity of the building, with everybody under one roof here, we’re able to provide more staff development opportunities, and to meet with parents with issues at one site, and to have a team of teachers to wait on kids. That’s a better situation for that.” The facility also offers various amenities not only to its students, teachers and staff but also to the community. Along with a large cafeteria, the facility also includes a large-sized auditorium that can be used for various events. See STUDENTS, Page 14B

Government: You won’t be cuffed for student loan defaults By JENNIFER C. KERR The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — It won’t help your credit history, but defaulting on student loans will not earn you a oneway ticket to jail. That word comes from the Education Department in a blog post that advises students past and present that they won’t be put behind bars for missing payments. “America hasn’t had debtors’ prisons for nearly two centuries, and you cannot be arrested simply for not paying your student loans,” Matt Lehrich, communications director at the department, wrote on a blog this week. When people do start missing payments, Lehrich said, the agency’s loan servicers work for almost a year to contact borrowers. They’ll be informed of their options to get their payments back on track and the consequences of defaulting, such as taking a hit to one’s credit rating. The department said Thursday that other attempts to collect are made, through the use of private collection agencies, garnishing wages and other actions. As a last resort, the loans are referred to the Justice
Department for collection via the courts — something required by law. Lehrich’s blog about student loans followed the arrest in February of a Houston man who had defaulted years ago on a $1,500 student loan dating back to 1987. Reports initially said Paul Aker was arrested for not paying what he owed on the federal loan, but it was later learned that marshals had arrested him for failing to appear in court, and after many attempts to contact him, not because he hadn’t paid back the loan. The Education Department said it refers a small percentage, about 0.25 percent, of federal student loans to the Justice Department — 1,300 in the 2015 fiscal year, down from almost 2,600 in 2009. Those numbers don’t necessarily represent the number of borrowers, though, since many borrowers often have two or more loans. There are options for many people struggling to pay back student loans, such as the Pay As Your Earn repayment plans that allow borrowers to cap student loan payments at 10 percent of income. A loan is usually considered in default if a payment has not been made in more than 9 months.

EAST LIVERPOOL— Barely four months into 2016, River Valley Physicians has already seen its share of changes in the new year. In January, internal medicine physician Dr. Clement “Craig” Cahall joined the group, making his office on Sixth Street the ninth site for River Valley Physicians in the East LiverpoolCalcutta area. The Cahall office building now has three River Valley service lines, and his office is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Then, in February, Prime Healthcare Foundation completed its acquisition of River Valley Health Partners, former owner of East Liverpool City Hospital, and River Valley Physicians, a network of doctors associated with the hospital. Those developments came in the wake of the September 2015 move of the RVP Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Service from the City Hospital Emergency Department to the sixth floor, former home of the pediatric unit. River Valley’s orthopedic surgeon, formerly an independent contractor, is Dr. Marcy Dickey. “We continue to look for growth opportunities and expansions,” said

prospects under the new ownership. “They are similar in outlook in that what we want to do is provide the best possible core care for our patients— primary care, orthopedic services, things they want close to home,” she said. Prime Healthcare also is looking at areas that are in need of expansion and improvement,
she said. “One thing they’re doing is focusing a lot on our infrastructure, making sure we have the best possible equipment, doing a lot of upgrades to our big equipment. Those things are going to be very noticeable to our physicians and our staff,” Weir said. “The public will definitely benefit.”

EAST LIVERPOOL — There are several reasons families decide to homeschool, from unhappy with your child’s current educational system to they have a learning disability that is not being properly addressed in a traditional setting. Maybe it is more serious like you are concerned about your child’s safety and welfare or your child has been a victim of bullying. Most of the time it is motivated by what works best for your family, your child is selfmotivated and wants to be homeschooled to further their potential and more importantly you want to strengthen your family bond and
increase time spent together. For the team at QDA, growth in education isn’t just part of the mission statement, it’s a physical reality. Founded in 2003, the increasing interest in the world of cyber education has motivated QDA to continually adapt to meet the tide of students and families who are turning to the digital realm as an alternative to brick and mortar institutions. What began as a small, single office operation in New Philadelphia, Ohio, has expanded to multiple locations across the state. With offices in Berlin, East Liverpool, Steubenville, and a team constantly hosting enrollment seminars across the state, QDA has increased their presence to make sure
potential students know that they have options in choosing their education. The principles of the school, as instituted by its CEO, Dr. Richard Varrati, suggest that a student’s school should be “made of choices, not bricks.” To this end, QDA constantly seeks to provide new opportunities to those enrolled, providing individual attention that may not

always be available in the shuffle of a classroom. Whereas a student at a brick and mortar school has a group of classmates with which to vie for attention, each individual enrolled in QDA is assigned an Instructional Supervisor (otherwise referred to as an “IS”) that serves as a main point of contact for the student and their family. The IS han-
dles all school related issues for the students, and keeps in regular contact to ensure success in their studies. Furthermore, each student’s education is tailor-made for the individual. QDA is fully aware that what helps one person learn may not work for the next, and so forth, so rather than have one strict set of curriculum; the company has invested in providing options. Offering a selection of cutting edge, state-approved curriculum, QDA is able to create a personalized learning path that fits the needs of the individual. With the ever-rising number of students turning to cyber education, QDA has more than proven it is ready

SALEM — Jennifer Burton is the administrator at Care4Me, a home health care provider located at 1285 E. Pidgeon Road that opened in Salem 18 months ago. Employing 45 full- and part-time employees total, Burton said Care4Me serves patients in a 60-mile area from Steubenville to southern Cleveland where they provide skilled and un-skilled nursing care. Burton noted there are a couple of big things about Care4Me that are important. First, the mission of Care4Me is valuing the home as a therapeutic environment for care. Also, the company holds a four-star rating under governmentapproved medical standards. She said that is out of a five-star rating system where “even getting a three-and-ahalf star rating is difficult.” She added that Care4Me is also nationally ranked in an elite top 500 for 2015 by the OCHCH Homecare. Care4Me is also approved by the

The team (from left) at Care4Me includes Jennifer Burton (administrator), Shawn Freeman (scheduling coordinator), Debbie Leggett (clinical liaison), Debbie Putnam (billing manager), Crystal McDonald (Medical Records coordinator), and Michelle Hall (director of Nursing). Veterans Administration, Burton said, adding that is a big deal as not many homecare agencies have a contract to accept the Veterans Administration Insurance. Care4Me is also approved to accept any My Care Ohio United Health Care and My Care Ohio Caresource Insurances which are a newer insurances in the Valley. Other accepted insurances include Medicare, Medicaid, United Healthcare, Caresource and most other major insurances. Burton explained Care4Me receives referrals from doctors, hospital discharge plan-
ners, family friends and skilled nursing facilities and even “off the street” contacts for people who may otherwise not be able to contact us themselves. Burton said once the company receives a referral they respond within 48 hours where as some health care providers may take a week or longer. She said “Our goal is 100 percent to keep patients in their home.” It is the agencies policy to hire State Tested Nurse’s Aide (STNAs) or Certified Nurse’s Aides (CNAs) to provide any personal care needs. After the personal care needs are met, they can provide light house-
work. “We also provide Physical, Occupational, Speech Therapy and Wound Care by Registered Nurses and therapists in the home as well. We are always looking to hire enthusiastic, energetic and qualified professionals!” During initiation of home healthcare services, typically either the insurance company, case manager or physician provide what services are needed and how often the services should be provided. Hours of service range anywhere from 1 hour, 1 day a week in the home to 4 hours, 7 days a week in the
home of care. However, Burton said, if the evaluations from the nursing staff show the patient needs more care then what was initially authorized, Care4Me will advocate for the patient to provide the appropriate time they feel the patient needs. Burton said the phone is answered 24-7 by a live person to direct your calls appropriately, and the office is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

EAST LIVERPOOL— While East Liverpool City Hospital has been no stranger to change, one thing that has remained constant is the steady presence of nurses throughout the hospital’s six floors and various departments. Whether inpatient or outpatient care, nurses are critical to the hospital’s overall provision of services, said Chief Nursing Officer Jayne Rose. “The staff of ELCH provides top quality care, and I am very proud to be leading them into the future,” said Rose, who was named CNO in October after 34 years with the hospital. An estimated 156 nurses work at the hospital, most of them fulltime nurses who work three 12-hour shifts a week. Those in the inpatient units, including the Intensive Care Unit, are trained in basic life support and advanced cardiac life support, Rose said. In the surgery department, nurses are there for both pre- and postoperative care. In the outpatient clinic, they assist with treatments such as injections, chemotherapy and IV

City Hospital also contracts with New Vision for the provision of addiction services related to the management of withdrawal symptoms. An average of 55 patients a month spend three to five days in an inpatient setting
under the care of doctors and nurses, while their drug or alcohol addiction-related symptoms are stabilized. In the cardiac rehabilitation unit, nurses assist with stress tests, EKGs, exercise regimens and other
Career opportunities in health, wellness Health educators perform a host of tasks, including teaching and promoting various wellness practices. Health educators may also develop strategies and campaigns to promote wellness. ■ Massage therapist: Massage therapists help people recover from injury and relieve stress, but they also might be used to improve circulation and increase relaxation, both of which can contribute to their patients’ long-term health. The BLS projects the job outlook for massage therapists between 2012 and 2022 to be 23 percent, indicating that
there figures to be an array of opportunities available to men and women interested in pursuing massage therapy.

The hospital’s wound care center has a nurse as a director and other nurses who assist doctors with care for patients with chronic wounds. The center’s hyperbaric oxygen chamber does an average of 33 procedures a month, she said.

Kent FROM PAGE 1B other two being nursing and physical therapy assistant, Rossi said. Only East Liverpool and Ashtabula offer the physical and occupational therapy degrees. In total, East Liverpool offers 10 associate degree programs and five bachelor degree programs. More than 900 students attend the East Liverpool campus exclusively, while another 1,300 take some of their classes here. Rossi said enrollment for this year’s spring semester is up from last year. East Liverpool is unique among the Kent State campuses in its proximity to three states. “It’s not unusual for us that we have students, staff and faculty from Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania,” Rossi said. “That’s just how we’ve always been.” Kent State’s outreach to West Virginia includes Hancock, Brooke and Ohio counties. In Pennsylvania, it includes Beaver, Washington and Greene counties. Because of a reciprocity agreement, students from

Rossi said. Many of those students are nontraditional students. While there is no typical student, the average age is 26. There are more women than men who attend the East
Liverpool campus, and 80 percent get some form of financial aid. More than half are parents and have day jobs. In 2015, Kent State-East Liverpool provided 75 schol-
arships to students, totalling nearly $100,000. That same year, Kent State kicked off a campaign to create 50 new scholarships to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the East Liverpool campus. This year, Kent State is contributing to a city “streetscape” project that will improve the intersection of Broadway and East Fourth Street. The project will include a realigned intersection, safer pedestrian crosswalks, landscaping and renovated sidewalks. Construction is set to begin after the 2016 ELHSAA All-Class Reunion in July.

The new larger stage, equipped with a new sound system and an overhead projection camera to provide instant playback, provides a new enhanced experience for high school musical productions and other community-related events to a capacity of more than 740. Beaver Local also provides another stage with its outdoor amphitheatre. Located on the west end of the facility and seating for roughly 100, the amphitheatre serves the students for various classes and programs, including Destination Imagination, but also can cater to the community for businesses and non-profit organizations who wish to hold meetings, seminars and conferences in a outdoor setting. There are three gymnasiums (one for elementary, one for the middle school and one for the high school) for various sporting events including volleyball, basketball and wrestling, with its high school gym equipped with a new scoreboard that can play several videos or show live video along with state-of-the-art locker rooms. The elementary gym also includes batting cages and nets to allow for baseball and softball players to take in muchneeded gym time. Outside the facility, students can be able to enjoy the latest equipment on two playgrounds which include a more-cushioned ground for safety. The grounds also feature the soccer, baseball and softball fields. The Beavers’ home venue for football, Beaver Local Stadium, completed a major bleacher project last fall and remains on the site of the former high school.
