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 center’s hyperbaric oxygen chamber does an average of 33 procedures a month, she said. Nurses also are an integral part of the emergency department, which has 22 rooms and sees an average of 110 patients a day. Five RNs are on duty at the busiest time of the day.

Occupational therapists may help their patients relearn how to feed and dress themselves, while some might work exclusively with stroke patients who have lost their ability to perform certain tasks as a result of their strokes. The BLS reports the job outlook for occupational therapists, who earned a median annual wage of roughly $75,000, between 2012-22 is 29 percent.

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.

CHESTER— t’s been almost four years since the old Taylor, Smith & Taylor buildings were razed. Now economic development officials want to raise up something new in the pottery’s place. They say they’re on track for a groundbreaking later this month, now that all environmental requirements have been fulfilled. Although the TS&T buildings, along with the asbestos, were removed in 2012, it has taken close to four years for the property owner to receive a certificate of completion from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. With that certificate in sight, the Business Development Corporation (BDC) of the Northern Panhandle can move forward with its plans for developing the 8.54-acre site. “This is the challenge of repurposing and building on a brownfield. There’s really nothing you can do to expedite the process,” said BDC Executive Director Patrick Ford. The BDC retained Civil & Environmental Consultants Inc., of Pittsburgh, to prepare a plan for remediating any remaining contaminants in the soil of the upper pad,

where TS&T made pottery for the nation from 1900 to 1981. That plan now has the approval of the DEP’s Office of Environmental Remediation, Ford said. “The approval of the plan puts us a few weeks away from obtaining our certification of completion. That is the last step to obtaining construction financing to break ground for phase one of the TS&T Business Park,” he said. In November 2015, the BDC received a $2 million loan from the West Virginia Economic Development Authority to finance the construction of a 30,800square-foot building on the property. Now the BDC needs a bank loan to provide the short-term construction financing. United Bank, of Weirton, has been identified as the bank that the BDC is working with. The state loan will be used to pay back the bank loan, and the state loan will be paid off over the course of 20 years or sooner, depending on whether the BDC sells the property or leases it.

By STEPHEN HUBA shuba@reviewonline.com GEORGETOWN, Pa.— It’s been a good year for Southside Garage, so much so that the family business is looking seriously at vehicle upgrades for the coming year. “We’re always looking at ways to expand our tow truck fleet,” said Biv Moore, who owns the business with her husband, Jack Moore. “There’s new technology out there, so you’ve got to ride with the times. All it requires is patience, time and money.” Moore said Southside is still researching its options and hasn’t made any decisions about new acquisitions. “With the tow trucks, they’re coming out with newer technology and operational features,” she said. The garage and towing business at 2825 U.S. Route 30 has added two trucks in recent years, bringing its fleet to nine—two heavy-duty tow trucks, two medium-duty trucks, two flatbed trucks and three lightduty trucks.

CALCUTTA — The Fields of Fisher Farm is southern Columbiana County’s premier residential subdivision. The community was developed several years ago by Calcutta Development and is located off of Calcutta Smith Ferry Road just past Randy’s Raisings which is approximately two miles east of Bruster’s Ice Cream. With its convenient location, home owners can be to Calcutta or East Liverpool in mere minutes while enjoying the relaxed charm of country estate living. Located in Beaver Local School District, children will have the opportunity to attend the District’s new state of the art K-12 facility. The secluded neighborhood is nestled into a serene setting buffered by natural tree growths and consists of two streets, Field Stone Drive and Olde Mill Lane. The home sites are accessed via a curbed boulevard entrance with landscaping and community street lights. Road maintenance and police protection are provided by St. Clair Township. The development also benefits from all available utilities being buried underground. This includes a reliable public water supply from the Buckeye Water District. Water services for each lot are pre-installed to the right of way line and all associated costs are already included in the lot prices. There is no need for homeowners to

NEWELL — Northern Hancock Bank & Trust is the sole remaining locally owned commercial bank in the tristate area. Because Northern Hancock is a local bank, it approaches banking services differently.

CLEARLY THE BEST
1120 Pennsylvania Ave. East Liverpool, Ohio 330-386-7772 888-386-7772 EAST LIVERPOOL — Clearly The Best (CTB) water provides premium bottled water service to approximately 500 customers and counting to businesses and homes throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. We have been in business since 1989, branching out from our vending business that was established in 1976, and that we still maintain, providing digital jukeboxes and ATMs to bars, restaurants and stores in the tri-state area. Our water source is an artesian spring located in rural Portage County. The water is naturally-filtered as it flows through the spring’s underground rock formations, and then undergoes a rigorous multistage purification process. It’s filtered to 0.02 micron, leaving behind enough minerals to enhance its taste and provide other purported hydration and health benefits. The water is further purified through the use of ozone and ultraviolet treatment before it is bottled, it is free of all chemicals including lead, copper, and chlorine.
It is tested and analyzed using third party labs in accordance with the department of agriculture standards. I anticipate a growing demand from customers who prefer natural spring water to other sources, since the public seems to be highly attuned to the contents and origin of everything they consume. Especially now with the concerns of lead, chlorine, fluoride and other chemicals in our drinking water from municipal water sources, it’s just not economically possible for cities to purify water the same way that bottled water is purified. Clearly The Best Premium bottled Water is available in 5-gallon and 3gallon bottles, along with 20-ounce single serve bottles and 1-gallon by the case. Water can be conveniently delivered to your home or business, or you may pick it up at our business at 1120 Pennsylvania Ave., in the East End of East Liverpool. We also carry a full line of water coolers, ranging from Room Temperature, Cold, or Hot and Cold units, also available are coolers that don’t require lifting of the bottle, it connects using tubing and the bottle stores inside the cooler. Or if you already own your cooler you can have us just supply your water needs, just call our office at 330-386-7772 or 888-386-7772, and our friendly staff will be sure to find a service that fits your needs.

Farmers’ Chief Banking Officer Mark Witmer says the current up-trend in loans is an excellent sign of future economic health locally.

For Helmick, growth gives his bank additional capacity to fulfill its traditional community banking mission. “More than half of all current private workforce jobs and up to 80 percent of all new jobs come from small businesses,” says Helmick. “And 46 percent of those companies rely on community banks, like Farmers, for the myriad financial services they need. “Our bank is dedicated to helping these small businesses, and the families that rely on them, achieve every possible success.”

But as Megan Beagle mentioned, it’s not just about those schools to which the business caters. “I do local teams, but I also do organizations,” she said. “I

Casino Player magazine recognizes Mountaineer with awards
MOUNTAINEER CASINO, RACETRACK AND RESORT Route 2 Chester, W.Va. 304-387-8000
For The Review CHESTER — Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort rose to meet each challenge of 2015 with innovation and creative changes to enhance every guest’s experience. The biggest of these challenges was Hancock Counties Clean Air Act that went into effect in July 2015. To offer guests the best possible experience Mountaineer quickly began construction on what became the largest smoking pavilion in the country. When it opened there were just over 200 slot machines and six blackjack tables. Continuing their focus on the best customer service in the business, they’ve added 100 more slot games to the pavilion since July. “We strive to provide the best customer experience at all times,” General Manager Chris Kern said. “By listening to our guests and their suggestions, and making changes based on their input, we will continue to provide a wonderful experience that you can only get here.” Not only does Mountaineer have the largest smoking pavilion in the country, its pet friendly Grande Hotel is the second largest hotel in the state of West Virginia. The Casino, Racetrack and Resort also houses the third largest convention space in the state which can accommodate events of all types and sizes, such as weddings, bachelor and

“In speaking with our guests, we learned that many people thought you needed to dress up to eat at the LBV, which isn’t true. Come in however you like, whether it be in jeans or a dress, just come hungry.” • Chris Kern, general manager bachelorette parties, meetings, conferences and other events. As a part of the Eldorado Resorts Inc. family, which is now seven-properties strong, spanning five statesWest Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Nevada - a major focus continues to be on food. Over the last year they have launched six new menus for their outlets to make sure that the offerings remained top of the line. Starting with the LBV Steakhouse, Mountaineer’s premier steakhouse offers the best steaks, seafood and pasta in the area. The goal in changing this menu was to make the LBV more affordable, without compromising on taste. The LBV offers casual, affordable, excellence to everyone. “In speaking with our guests, we learned that
many people thought you needed to dress up to eat at the LBV, which isn’t true. Come in however you like, whether it be in jeans or a dress, just come hungry,” Kern said. Another new addition to Mountaineer in 2015 is the LBV Cafe, a sidewalk style bistro located just outside of the steakhouse in the hotel lobby. The Cafe features its own appetizer menu, happy hour specials, along with live entertainment Thursday through Saturday each week. The casino invites you to come have a glass of wine, great food, relax and enjoy the entertainment. Woodview Golf Course had an update of its own in 2015, including clubhouse renovations, new flags, painting and even new clubhouse food offerings became available.
With a 60-year history in the community, Mountaineer has continued many efforts to be a good partner in the community. For example, since 1998, Mountaineer has been donating turkeys to local charities. This year that tradition continued as they donated almost 700 turkeys at Thanksgiving and also ran a canned goods drive for the local Salvation Army. Team members participated in the local Fourth of July and Christmas parades, and a major Mountaineer highlight was the 46th running of the West Virginia Derby that took place last August. The 47th West Virginia Derby will be held Aug. 6. In June 2015, Mountaineer celebrated 25 years of gaming. Mountaineer was chosen in 1990 as the test site for VLT’s (Video
Lottery Terminals) in West Virginia. As a result of this testing, VLT’s were legalized in the state five years later. As part as the celebration 23 team members with over 25 years of service were recognized with a gift. Multiple promotions to celebrate the anniversary took place over a three-day period with prizes including a oneof-a-kind commemorative Fiesta mug “Be on the lookout for more exciting changes to come in 2016.” Kern said. An example of these changes includes completion of the hotel lodge room remodel, the Gatsby Restaurant combining with the Riverfront Buffet. which will be open to guest’s everyday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., as well as the reopening of a new, entertainment packed, Lucky’s bar.
CHESTER — Casino Player magazine has awarded Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort five “Best of Dining and Nightlife Awards,” including best overall dining experience. “What sets us apart from other resorts is our exciting atmosphere, luxurious yet affordable amenities and most importantly: our delicious food. Our chefs are constantly working behind the scenes to ensure that our guests enjoy the best in dining. We are honored that Casino Player magazine readers recognized our efforts and consider Mountaineer a premiere dining and entertainment destination,” said Michael Bodjiak, Director of Food and Beverage at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort. Mountaineer won the following 2016 awards: Best Overall Dining Experience; Best Burger Joint, Mahogany Sports Bar; Best Sports Bar, Mahogany Sports Bar; Best Place to Celebrate, LBV Steakhouse; Best Place to People Watch, Mahogany Sports Bar Winners are determined by a vote of Casino Player magazine readers through its “Best of Dining and Nightlife” annual poll.

CALCUTTA — When it comes to recovering from illness or injury, one facility can help people get back on their feet and handle several treatments all under one roof. The Therapy Center of East Liverpool City Hospital provides therapy through a variety of programs and services that best benefit the patient. Located within the Calcutta YMCA on state Roue 170, since Jan. 2, 2003, the center serves as the rehabilitation department of the hospital for outpatients, but also caters to inpatients from the hospital for physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT) and speech therapy. Physical therapy involves the treatment of injuries and disorders using physical methods. This includes therapy designed to improve mobility, recover from weakness or limited endurance, help treat diseases or disabilities, restore function and prevent disability from disease, and treat pain. The center can help patients with a plan to include strength training stretching for flexibility, balance/coordination aquatics, massages, and developmental milestones. Some of the workouts include positioning, mobility, gross motor development, teaching transfers and exercises for the legs, arms, back and neck. Occupational therapy involves skilled treatment to help patients gain independence, and assists patients to develop skills for living (like dressing and grooming), strengthen fine motor development, work with sensory disorders, handle learning behavior disabilities, and perform exercises with fingers, hands and shoulders. OT can serve as a benefit for those with workrelated injuries, stroke, chronic conditions like

arthritis or multiple sclerosis (MS), birth injuries or learning problems, mental health or behavioral problems, spinal cord injuries and amputations, and those with broken bones or hand injuries. Speech therapists at the center work with patients of all age groups who may have cognitive deficits, fluency disorders, swallowing disorders, expressive language deficits, voice disorders, receptive language deficits, speech
disorders and Autism spectrum disorders. The center also handles vestibular rehabilitation, treatment with patients with Parkinson’s disease with the Big Movements and the Loud program for the voice, and lymphadema treatments for those with fluid buildup. Maria Boyd, director of the center, said the facility at the YMCA provides a fit for the services needed as opposed to originally at
the hospital itself. “This was actually a better fit for growing our outpatient, moving out the actual shell,” Boyd said. Boyd noted with its location, it can utilize some of the benefits the YMCA also provides, including its track, gym equipment and swimming pool. “The aquatic therapy is good for joint protection, one of the reasons we use it for some of the diagnoses, but otherwise you can get a
great cardiac workout,” Boyd said. “We have a lot of people who have, over time, we have bad knees, hips, ankles, you can do what’s called aqua jogging in the deep end of the pool, so if you still really want to work your cardiac system, but you can’t go fast enough on land, it’s a good way to keep your system healthy while you still heal.” According to Boyd, the center is also able to treat pediatrics, not-
ing its high pediatric population, and also can work with workers’ compensation. “The nice thing is the facility that we have shared with the YMCA does help us with being able to offer those workers’ comp patients a way to get back to work that offers more activity,” Boyd said. “We have the space to mimic what their job is here, which helps.” Another key aspect to its location is the ability for therapists from PT, OT and speech therapy to be able to interact with each other and the patient at the same. Karen Tice, the center’s rehabilitation coordinator, mentioned the better convenience. “Some people work out here but they also may do home health so they’re seeing each other at different levels,” Tice said. “But being in one building, if a patient sees all three disciplines, then they can communicate with that and see each other. Sometimes they may even be together doing different things.” The in-house staff of 25 helps out in several ways to make the patients feel comfortable, but as Boyd mentioned, they also go above and beyond to make the patient happy as well. “We had a birthday party for this little girl whose basically whole family died in a car wreck. Here she is a paraplegic now,” Boyd See THERAPY, Page 22A

Grand Ford making digital footprints
■ EAST LIVERPOOL
By STEPHEN HUBA shuba@reviewonline.com
EAST LIVERPOOL—In the competitive world of car sales, being on the Internet is no longer the luxury it used to be. Grand Ford, located in the East End since 1974, continues to boost its online presence through its own website (GrandFord.net), its Facebook page and through popular third-party sites such as Cars.com, CarGurus.com and Carfax.com. “I’ve noticed that most of the business we do comes from online (shopping),” said General Sales Manager Don Maltarich. “Digital presence for a dealership is very important, so we’re constantly working on our digital footprint.” Online shopping leads to more informed customers, which helps facilitate better customers relations, he said. Grand Ford has all of its new and used inventory on its website, while also relying on traffic generated by third-party sites with whom it has contracts. “Whenever they’re searching, they’ve got to be able to see you online. It’s the biggest part of advertising,” Maltarich said. “When you’re online, you can track that. You know people are looking at your website, which makes it easier for you to know what people want and what they’re looking for.” Online shopping also expands the reach of Grand Ford beyond the tri-state area. Customers from as far away as California have inquired about its inventory as a result of the Internet presence, he said. What’s more, the digital dealership has pricing and appraisal software that is tied in with the Kelley Blue Book, NADA and auction services, he said. “We’re able to take a look and see exactly what those vehicles are bringing within a 500-mile radius,” he said, noting that helps with trade-ins and used car sales. “We can give them the best possible trade-in

When it comes time to sell that car, we can match the lowest possible price because I know what everybody else’s price is.” Maltarich said Grand Ford, in addition to focusing on its digital footprint, is proud of its physical presence in the East End. When given the opportunity to move to Calcutta 12 years ago, the dealership stayed put. “We’ve had a good strong customer base. They know where we are. We want to be a part of East Liverpool,” he said.

How the building develops in terms of offices, utilities, floor plan and other details depends on the tenant. The West Virginia Development Office has been marketing the property and has several prospects that are interested. Ford said the certificate of completion will smooth the way for the rest of the project. “We want to make sure we make it clear (to prospects) that the environmental liability has been remediated and managed,” he said.

The concrete is the floor of the old TS&T factory. In the event that the cap is disturbed during construction, the BDC has a plan for disposing of the soil. A licensed remediation specialist will have to handle any contaminated material, either moving it to another part of the site or having it hauled away to an approved landfill, Ford said. “Now that you have a building whose foundation will go deeper than the cap, you have to have a soil management plan to say what you will do with the soil that’s below the cap,” he said. As for the riverbank’s lead contamination, the BDC has a $200,000 cleanup grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that must be used within three years. The BDC expects to advertise for contractor bids in the late summer or early fall.

Spirit Exhaust: Part of the community since 1985
Pictured is the team at Spirit Exhaust, including owner Brad Buchheit (left), who has provided quality vehicle service for 30 years.
MILESTONES IN BUSINESS By STEVE RAPPACH srappach@reviewonline.com EAST LIVERPOOL — When it comes to service for under your vehicle, one shop has provided quality service for three decades and continues to do so today. Spirit Exhaust, located on St. Clair Avenue, specializes in exhaust and undercar repairs for just about every vehicle imaginable whether its domestic, foreign vehicles or trucks. Owner/operator Brad Buchheit said the garage handles a wide range of work for competitive prices. “We mainly do undercar work,” Buchheit said. “Exhaust, brakes, struts and shocks, CV axles, just about everything you can think of.” The staff consists of three employees, Buchheit included, all constantly working. “In here, as far as working the office or working in the bay, there’s always someone who will be waiting on people, but you still have a couple people doing things, so it’s just been constant,” Buchheit said. Spirit Exhaust has been a part of the community since opening in February 1985. Buchheit mentioned that throughout that time, he has many of the same customers who experienced positive results and returned when other vehicle needs arise. “I’ve tried to establish a good reputation to keep people coming back,” Buchheit said. Along with the clientele that have remained loyal throughout the past 30 years, Buchheit also mentioned that the store receives several customers outof-state, including Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
SPIRIT EXHAUST 2808 St. Clair Ave. East Liverpool, Ohio 330-385-4194
Buchheit added that many have come not only for the quality work but also for the company’s competitive pricing as compared to other area garages. “It’s a combination, especially people from the Pennsylvania direction, a lot of it is price,” Buchheit said. “People like the quality, I’d say.” Another incentive with the staff of Spirit Exhaust is its knowledge. Buchheit said while some places will provide extra work for more money, Spirit attempts to remain as costeffective as possible for the customer. “There’s a lot of times where a lot of places will change the whole exhaust system, but a lot of times we can do repair work,” Buchheit said. “We don’t have to change the whole thing and we can save the people a lot of money without having to change the whole thing.” With the longevity of the business and the success and clientele it has received, Buchheit and the staff looks to continue the business going for quite some time. “Just hope we can manage to be here another 30 years,” Buchheit said. Spirit Exhaust is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call 330-385-4914.
Parts FROM PAGE 15A The store carries a wide variety of namebrand and private-brand parts and accessories, and also has a machine shop where they can perform light press work, including turning drums, rotors and fly wheels. One strong point is that it maintains their products competitively priced against the likes of larger auto parts businesses. “The big stores price match,” Gresch said. “We’re the ones who they usually price match because we’re usually some of the better priced.” Convenience of the customers as well as their time is also important to the business.
Since its opening 38 years ago, the store has been open seven days a week to tailor to the needs of the community and was also among the first with evening and weekend hours. “We’re open seven days a week, have been since day one,” Gresch said. “It’s not new to us. A lot of places have only started staying open on the weekend and evenings. When we first opened, that was our goal. People get done working at 5 o’clock, they need to go fix their car. Everybody was closed back when we first opened. “I said we’re going to stay open evenings for the guy who has to
work and to fix his car when goes home, and same with weekends. Most places closed at noon Saturdays and didn’t even think about Sundays. We’ve been opened Saturdays and Sundays since day one. Maybe we saw the future.” When the store first did business, it was located across the street from Tractor Supply on state Route 170. Since that time, Gresch noted how the town of Calcutta has changed from just a few business to how it looks today. “I’ve seen Calcutta grow,” Gresch said. “It was basically a two-lane chip-and-seal road, and then they paved it and
went to three lanes, and then the mega five lanes. Then when they did that, they took our building and so we
moved.” Today, the store is under a new affiliation with Auto Parts Inc. Even with the new affili-
ation, it continues to provide the same service and parts for customers as it has done throughout the years.

How to find investors for your business
22A • THE REVIEW • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2016
MILESTONES IN BUSINESS
Starting a business and being your own boss is a dream for many working men and women. Whether you have a great idea for a startup business or want to branch out on your own in your current line of work, starting a business from scratch can be a risky, yet rewarding, undertaking. One of the biggest concerns for many startup businesses is finding the money to get the business off the ground. Finding investors for a business idea often involves patience, resolve and a strong belief in your idea. Few startups can survive without some investment capital from outside sources, and the following are a few tips to help today’s entrepreneurs find financial backing for their ideas.
you have no experience in developing a business plan, then you might want to consult a business advisor. This will cost you money, but it might make the difference between finding solid investors or sitting on your idea.
Be enthusiastic about the future
Know what you need Once you’ve explained your idea, a potential investor, whether it’s a venture capitalist, a trusted friend or even a family member, will want to know exactly how much money you need. The more money you need, the more people you’re likely to have to approach. If the amount of capital you need is relatively small, then you can seek the help of friends and family members. This might prove especially rewarding should your business eventually succeed, as you will have raised investment capital from the people you trust and rewarded that trust with a healthy return on their investments. Keeping things in the family definitely has its benefits, but it can also cause problems, especially if the amount of capital you need to raise is substantial. In such instances, seeking the help of a venture capitalist might be your best bet. Venture capitalists not only invest in ideas for a living, but also if you work with a venture capitalist, your relationships with family and friends won’t grow strained if your idea or plan falters and the returns on investment are less than expected.
Invest in self; don’t overdo it Letting potential investors know you’ve invested your own money in
the project can help, but you don’t want to overdo it. Potential investors might hesitate to invest with someone who sank their entire savings into an idea. Such hesitation occurs because investors don’t want decisions affecting the company to be made by someone who is concerned about losing their entire nest egg. Such decisions are not always rational, and they can affect how you approach the business. So while it’s good to invest in yourself and your idea, don’t overdo it to the point where potential investors might see your business as a red flag instead of a worthwhile investment.
Develop a detailed plan Potential investors will want to see a detailed business plan that includes how the business will be run and how their money, should they ultimately choose to invest, will be used. Include a forecast of expenses, which includes materials needed as well as what you expect to pay in rent for office and manufacturing space. This plan should also include

Enthusiasm is important when seeking investors. Potential investors already have money, and they won’t want to invest in an idea with a goal of breaking even. Explain to potential investors that you have a long-term vision for your business, one that isn’t just for survival but, ideally, expansion. You don’t want to go overboard here, as you don’t want to make it appear as though you’re putting the cart before the horse. But you don’t want to project a lack of confidence in your ideas or a lack of vision for how you want your business to grow, either. Enthusiasm about the future can pique a potential investor’s interest, whereas an investment opportunity that doesn’t figure to yield much of a return will turn investors off. Building a business is no small feat, and entrepreneurs should work as hard at convincing potential investors to invest as they did at developing their initial ideas.

Emphasis on customer service is evident By STEPHEN HUBA shuba@reviewonline.com
NEWELL—Three months into its move to a new building, Hancock County Auto has experienced increased sales and the optimism that comes with it. “We’re really happy with the way things have gone so far,” said General Manager Rob Cellini. While he would not discuss specific sales figures, Cellini said the Chrysler dealership has seen its sales increase since the January move to the old Newell Memorial Field site. “It’s much easier for people to come into our showroom, travel through the lot, see the large selection of cars we have,” he said. “The service department has

Hancock County Auto, 845 Washington St., Newell, has an inventory of 200-300 new and used cars and a workforce of 29 people, which it hopes to eventually increase to 40 See AUTO, Page 15B

HOT DOG SHOPPE 318 Market St. East Liverpool, Ohio 330-386-6688 By STEVE RAPPACH srappach@reviewonline.com
EAST LIVERPOOL – Many businesses and restaurants have come and gone throughout the years, but one has remained in town through both good and bad times. Serving several generations of local residents, the Hot Dog Shoppe has been a fixture of downtown East Liverpool for more than 50 years with its signature hot dogs and fries. On the corner of Market and East Fourth streets, the restaurant is located near several businesses throughout downtown, and has served for many as a meeting point or, as owner Ray Trevelline called it, “a stepping stone.” “We’re just a stepping stone in every way,” Trevelline said. “We’re a stepping stone for customers just to tide them over until they get home or get to the next spot, we have a restroom, a table to sit on, two sandwiches.” As one can tell, the restaurant’s specialty is its hot dogs. Customers who dine-in can select amongst the several condiments available at the bar. Along with regular hot dogs with the standard ketchup or mustard, customers also can get the chili dog, cheese dog and chilicheese dog as well. If one if perhaps not into hot dogs, customers can also enjoy hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries — plain, with chili,

They also provide a breakfast selection starting at 7 a.m. for those who are off to work and look to pick up a bite to eat. Customers who happen to dine in can enjoy the comfort from its several booths and tables when they can sit and enjoy their meal. Trevelline mentioned when it opened, it would be the main key of the store as they would eat or even check to see where they need to go next. “We’d have maps of the roads, we have restrooms, and we had pay phones, we had three of them, and they would call in and see where they’d go next,” Trevelline recalled. For those who are in a little bit of a hurry, HDS features
two drive-thru lanes. Another important aspect of the business is its rich history. Throughout the years, the Hot Dog Shoppe has experienced its share of hustle and bustle throughout downtown East Liverpool. Trevelline mentioned the clientele varied from businessmen to school students who met to have a quick lunch before going back to their duties, many of whom walked. “The way I would picture, I don’t know, London or cities where they live in flats, they have a lot of character,” Trevelline said. “That was the same way here. A lot of people were pedestrians. Now everybody has to drive. Times have changed.” Along with its signature hot dogs and its spacious atmosphere, Trevelline also brought
up another key aspect of the restaurant: the employees. Trevelline has taken pride in the service the employees put out, and also added this place as a “stepping stone” for those entering the workforce. “We have had marvelous high school students,” Trevelline said. “Over the years we’ve just had some marvelous high school kids. I think a part-time job is important for a high school kid. It’s important because it starts teaching them principles of work.” The Hot Dog Shoppe is open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. MondayThursday, 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, and 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

Youthful aspiration realized for owner of local car washes By STEPHEN HUBA shuba@reviewonline.com
WATER WORLD CAR WASH
CHESTER—Most people know Jeff Davis as a Hancock County commissioner, but that’s not the kind of job that pays the bills. Davis also is the owner of Water World Car Wash and Blue Suds Car Wash, both in Chester. He said owning his own car wash, one of several entrepreneurial ventures over the years, is an aspiration he has had since he was a teenager. “When I was 16, I worked at a car wash in Weirton. I began to enjoy the car wash business, even as a laborer,” he said. “I thought, ‘This is really neat. Some day I’m going to own my own car wash.’ ” Time passed, and Davis got married in 1986. While on a honeymoon cruise, he met a man who was in the car wash business — and that renewed his interest. He started looking for property in 1995 and opened Water World, at the corner of Carolina Avenue and First Street, in 1997. The original wash was equipped with one automatic roller machine and three self-serve bays. He has since turned one of the self-serve bays into a brushless car wash. See CAR, Page 16B

HTS: Safety continues to be the focus ■ EAST LIVERPOOL
By STEPHEN HUBA shuba@reviewonline.com
EAST LIVERPOOL— Ongoing safety training and compliance measures have improved the overall safety record of Heritage Thermal Services in the past year, company officials said. The waste incinerator, now in its 24th year in the East End, continues to fine-tune and expand its safety and compliance procedures, said President John Avdellas. “Our goal is to make sure that each and every employee returns home to their family after each and every shift,” Avdellas said. “It’s not production— we can always catch up on production. They need to be safe for themselves, their families and for their fellow employees.” With 176 employees, Heritage, 1250 St. George St., processes about 60,000 tons of hazardous and nonhazardous waste a year. Most of the waste comes from chemical manufacturers, refineries, the health care industry, colleges and universities, and the pharmaceutical industry, arriving by tanker, roll-off or container truck. Operating in the East End since 1992, Heritage disposes of the organic waste through a rotary kiln incineration process where temperatures reach up to 1,950 degrees. What leaves the smokestack is water vapor and gas emissions that the company says are far below federal clean air standards. The company, owned by Heritage Environmental Services,
HERITAGE THERMAL SERVICES
1250 St. George E. Liverpool, Ohio 800-545-7655
of Indianapolis, recently completed its annual compliance training for all employees. This year’s theme was “Stopping Points.” “If you think something is unsafe or if it doesn’t make sense, stop and ask questions,” said Carrie Beringer, environmental, health and safety manager. “We’d rather answer the questions than have to worry about somebody who has been injured.” Beringer said employees must take a test on each segment and score at least 70 percent. Such training and testing is a condition of employment. New employees also undergo rigorous training that can take anywhere from two weeks to a month. Afterward, they are paired with a mentor for a period of time. “We want to make sure that you clearly understand the risks associated with this facility. We’re willing to invest as much time as we see fit,” Avdellas said. The company’s frontline supervisors, about 20 people, recently took behavior-based training that stresses the importance of getting out of the office, walking the facility and checking for compli-

Other employees, depending on their specialty, receive training in first aid and CPR, hazardous materials and emergency response. One thing that will help with employee safety is the installation of three high-viscosity pumps, which mechanically handle material that used to be handled manually, Avdellas said. “We’ve had a significant drop in the number
of malfunctions and operator error-based issues,” said Vice President Stewart Fletcher. “That’s good for us, the community and the environment in general.” In December 2015, Heritage opened a 30,000-square-foot bulk solid storage pad that will enhance the company’s capacity to store roll-off containers onsite. Being able to store up to 60 containers at
a time will allow the company to have more control over its incineration schedule, Avdellas said. “It helps with the mixing process, the ratio of contaminated debris and soil. It’s good for the system to have a proper mix,” he said. Avdellas said Heritage also has stepped up its outreach to East Liverpool residents and community leaders. In August 2015, Heritage
retained Ann Green Communications, of South Charleston, W.Va., to conduct interviews and build a Community Advisory Panel.

HOLIDAY PATTERNS AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER By STEPHEN HUBA shuba@reviewonline.com NEWELL—For the 80th anniversary of Fiesta dinnerware, the Homer Laughlin China Co. is making a big splash with another muted color. On the heels of 2015’s Slate and Sage, the company introduced Claret at the annual International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago in March. The color, described as a deep red with slightly purplish undertones, is consistent with color trends Homer Laughlin has been tracking in the home and housewares realm for some time, said Katie McIlvain, foodservice and general marketing manager. “The more natural earthtones are in vogue right now,” she said. “Claret has been a great tiein and a good accent (for Slate and Sage).” Standard Fiesta dinnerware pieces will be available in Claret starting in mid-June. “Claret fulfills a void in our vast Fiesta color spectrum,” said Rich Brinkman, vice president of sales and marketing. “Last year we introduced Sage and Slate. Claret is a beautiful progression into this sophisticated color palette, but it also mixes well with the more vibrant hues.” With the introduction of Claret, Homer Laughlin is retiring Plum from the Fiesta palette. That will keep the Fiesta color spectrum at the standard

15, McIlvain said. Homer Laughlin is celebrating the 80th anniversary of Fiesta with an anniversary platter available only in Claret. Fiesta was introduced in 1936 with five initial colors — Red, Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Green and Ivory. Although retired in 1973, Fiesta was reintroduced in 1986 and has become the most recognizable American-made dinnerware line in the country. Also at the March show, Homer Laughlin introduced the Foundry Collection — a line of bakeware in the Fiesta style but with the look of cast iron — and several new Fiesta dinnerware items, including a skillet baker, a tortilla warmer and a salsa bowl, McIlvain said. “This (Foundry) collection is rustic and durable, but at the same time it has a
uniquely versatile modern look to it,” Brinkman said. “Many people like the aesthetics of serving their meals on cast iron, but caring for cast iron can be high maintenance. The Foundry Collection offers the best of both worlds.” Later this year, Homer Laughlin also will introduce additions to its popular Christmas and Halloween patterns, McIlvain said. Fiesta will add a mug, an ornament, a plate and a salad plate to the Christmas Tree Collection. The second installment in the Twelve Days of Christmas collection will have mugs and salad/dessert plates illustrating the “five golden rings, six geese a-laying, seven swans aswimming and eight maids a-milking” of the popular Christmas song, McIlvain said. The Fiesta Halloween designs introduced in 2015 — Witch, Owl, Spooky Pumpkin and Boo Cat — will be joined this year by Ghosts and Trio of Skeletons, she said.

New collection promises look of cast iron, ease of ceramics THE FIESTA DINNERWARE FOUNDRY COLLECTION
NEWELL — While Homer Laughlin’s Fiesta Dinnerware may be celebrating its 80th anniversary this year; it continues to be an innovator in the industry. The brand is introducing an entirely new collection — The Foundry Collection — at the International Home + Housewares Show, held March 5-8 in Chicago. The Fiesta Dinnerware Foundry Collection has the characteristic feel of seasoned cast iron, yet the ease of use of rust-free ceramic dinnerware. Foundry’s matte textured charcoal glaze has the distinct look of a cast iron piece that has seen many meals and many memories over time.
“This collection is rustic and durable, but at the same time it has a uniquely versatile modern look to it,” says Rich Brinkman, VP of Sales & Marketing at Homer Laughlin. “Many people like the aesthetics of serving their meals on cast iron, but caring for cast iron can be high maintenance. The Foundry Collection offers the best of both worlds.” The Fiesta Dinnerware Foundry Collection will be available in the following
pieces: New Skillet/Baker; 12-ounce Pizza/Baking Tray; 9x13 Rectangular Baker; 9x9 Square Baker; Individual
Oval Baker; Loaf Pan; Bread Tray; 8-ounce Ramekin; and 18-ounce Jumbo Bowl. “A new Skillet/Baker shape has been added to this collection as we continue to follow the rising interest in ethnic food trends from around the world,” Brinkman says. Because all Fiesta Dinnerware is fired at a very high temperature, it’s extremely durable. The dinnerware pieces are safe up to 350 degrees and bakeware can reach up to 500 degrees. Plus, Fiesta is oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe. The Fiesta Foundry Collection is available this month at department stores and websites.

It was along the notorious “strip” and specifically in the old “Sunset Inn.” A few doors to be sold and Builders Wholesale was born. What began as survival ended as a wonderful way of life. As we began to grow, gradually new products were added. As years passed, we became one of the largest home center/lumber yards in the tri-state area.

bridge community relations and give them a better understanding of what we process here. Typically, what they see is trucks rolling in and out of our facility, and a stack that’s generating steam. They really don’t understand what happens from the time the truck arrives to get to that steam release.” Avdellas said one of the best outcomes of the Community Advisory Panel so far is the decision by Heritage to change its tipping fee to the city to a fixed monthly rate of $15,000. Previously, the fee was based on a percentage of profitability. Also, a certain percent of the tipping fee is being allocated to the East Liverpool Police and Fire departments, the East Liverpool Health Department and economic development projects, he said. Heritage traces its origins to the environmental regulations of the 1970s. Congress passed the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the federal law governing the disposal of solid and hazardous waste, in 1976, and rules for implementing the law were in place by 1980. Heritage Thermal Services began operations in East Liverpool in November 1992 under the name Waste Technologies Industries Inc. Currently, the company’s two permits—Title V for air pollutants and RCRA for hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal—are awaiting renewal by the Ohio EPA, Beringer said.

BRITTAIN MOTORS
57 E. Martin St. East Palestine, Ohio 330-426-9449
By STEVE RAPPACH srappach@reviewonline.com
EAST PALESTINE – Four generations of northeast Ohio residents have turned to an East Palestine dealership for tried and true service, and that service continues to this day. With nine decades under its belt, Brittain Motors on East Martin Street brings to the community top-notch service and guaranteed satisfaction with award-winning results. Customer service has always been an important value for the dealership as well as a point of pride for Tom Brittain, a third-generation owner who has operated the dealership for 30 of the past 40 years he has been in the business. “We try to take care of people as fast as possible and do the job right the first time,” Brittain said. That same service has earned the dealership high honors. Brittain Motors is among the top-five ranked dealerships in northeast Ohio and offers a wide variety of Chevrolet vehicles, honored by J.D. Power and Associates throughout the years. Perhaps just as important as the top-notch service and high honors is the business’ history. Brittain Motors began its service in 1925, in a building attached to the family home

on East Clark Street. Founder Clyde Brittain sold Chevrolets from that small building and started the tradition of success, which was carried on by Clyde’s son Paul in 1962, and then in 1985 by Paul’s son, Tom. Today, Tom’s son Cory keeps the family tradition going as he works in sales. Tom said this makes Brittain Motors the oldest family-owned and -operated dealership in the area, and among the oldest continuously family-owned and-operated
dealerships in the country. “We have had four generations working here, and a fifth generation was just born,” Tom said. As times change, Chevrolet continues to evolve and provide new and updated features to new vehicles, and Brittain has been presenting that change. One of the newest features included in some vehicles is OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi internet service. The built-in Wi-Fi service — a first for the automotive
Make the Home You Have The Home of Your Dreams
industry — provides reliable access on-the-go with great signal quality and bandwidth, and as Tom explained, it’s ideal for the new generation and businesses. “The younger age bracket is very excited because they use it,” Tom said. “Businesses are very excited about it because they have access wherever they are.” Newer updates on several models, like the Colorado, Trax, Malibu and Camaro, also rolled out last year. Another big product is the
Diesel Cruze. With a five-star safety rating, the Diesel Cruze provides great gas mileage at an estimated 46 miles per gallon, and looks to provide more power than the regular Cruze. Whereas a regular Cruze has 138 horsepower, the Diesel Cruze offers roughly 225 horsepower to provide a powerful yet safe experience. “They are great with gas mileage,” Tom said. “A lot of people thought that with diesel you’d get sludge. Not at all.” While the looks of the vehicle may have changed through the years, what hasn’t change is its top-notch warranty plan as well as its service staff. The service department also offers repairs from GM- and ASEcertified technicians. “We still have the best warranty in America,” Tom said. “We have 100,000 drive train warranty of manufacturers.” With new and GM-certified pre-owned vehicles along with its rich tradition of service, Brittain Motors looks to continue its quality service and serve East Palestine as it has served for more than 90 years.

Tom Brittain
Cory Brittain
When Mr. Clyde Brittain went into business in 1925, he knew that customer service and satisfaction was his top priority. Keeping the customer happy meant they would keep coming back. In 1962, his son, Paul Brittain, took over and continued on with his father’s ideas. Having grown up at Brittain Motors and working there from a young age, Tom Brittain (3rd Generation and Paul’s son) took over running the dealership in 1985. Although times have changed, Tom still believes what his grandfather started...the car buying experience should be pleasant - no high pressure, with good service after the sale. Tom has two sons, Tom and Cory, who will be the fourth generation of Brittains. By choosing Brittain Motors, your vehicle gets the treatment it needs from the people who know it best! Our technicians all have GM CERTIFICATION, many years experience, and the equipment and parts to keep your car or truck in running condition.

EAST LIVERPOOL — With several home improvement stores offering a quantity of supplies, one hometown store aims for quality and convenience for its customers. Since 2011, East End Lumber and Supply, located on Harvey Avenue, has aimed to help the customer’s home improvement needs. The locallyowned and -operated store provides a wide selection of materials and equipment for the customers who look to add on to their home or fix up their current home. The store’s staff of five, including owner Ernie Johnson, looks to work with the customer as it provides full-service lumber, all building materials and equipment. The store also provides free delivery on the merchandise for the convenience of the homeowner or contractor. “Pretty much, if you can buy it at Home Depot, you can buy it here,” Johnson said. “What we do not have on the shelf we get normally the next day.” Along with providing the materials, East End Lumber can also provide the design best suited for the home as well with their service. Representatives provide designs and in-house engineering at the store, and can also construct building components, including roof trusses and prefabricated walls to name a few, at the store. “We can design and build right on site,” Johnson said. “Many times people come in, they’re putting in an

addition on their house or a garage up or something like that. We’ll sit at the computer and design the truss and design the roof. They can look at it in 3-D and say ‘Yeah I like that,’ ‘No change this, raise the pitch, lower the pitch.’ Get them set on what they’re doing, we can price it. Price the lumber so they know what they’re getting.” Going into a store like East End, one will notice the wide selection of items from lumber to kitchen cabinets to materials and equipment in a relatively close proximity to each other. Johnson noted the products provided at the store, which he noted is scaled down, are aimed to provide the best value for the customer. “You’re going to find kitchen cabinets, but you’re going to find what we feel is the best cabinet for the best value,” Johnson said. “We’re not going to have as huge a selection on things. We’re not going to have 35 different joint compounds to choose from. Basically we eliminate a lot of the redundancy, and we’ve really brought in all the valuelined products, the stuff that’s getting you the best bang for your buck.
“That being said, the other brands we have access to, all the other brands. So we do have people that come in for kitchens or roofing and they want a specific brand. We can supply it. We just don’t have 80,000 square foot of displays for it.” Also important to the store is serving as a hometown hometeam for all items. Johnson noted the importance of building relationships with the customer that will be able to bring them back for more, while also providing what he calls “intelligent answers.” “We are small enough that, we build relationships with the homeowners and contractors,” Johnson said. “We get to know people. My people at the counter are trained to work with everybody on getting them the right product for the right price. We don’t look at the product that’s giving us the biggest margin. We would try to spend the customer’s money as if we would spend our own. So that being said, our salespeople are non-commissioned for that reason. I want them to feel comfortable taking time getting someone a 25 cent bolt as much as a $2,500 countertop.” In addition, the store also holds seminars throughout the year, which allowed the store to showcase products for customers and the benefits they provide as well. East End Lumber and Supply is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MondayThursday and Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m Friday. For more information, call 330-3867773 or check out the store’s Facebook page.

Auto FROM PAGE 1B full-time and part-time staffers. The dealership moved to its new location from 400 Washington St., former site of C. Hackett Chrysler, in January. An emphasis on customer service is evident throughout the state-of-the-art, 23,000-square-foot building. There’s the service drive-through that customers pull into when they arrive to have their car serviced, and there’s a brushless car wash that puts the finishing touches on their car when it’s done. Everything is designed to flow in one direction. “You can tell a lot of thought and heart went into this,” Cellini said. The new building has tinted storefront windows and an LED lighting system, as well as the latest Chrysler branding and design characteristics. Hancock County Auto sits on a football field that first got Chrysler executives’ attention two years ago, when Beaver County Auto Owner P.J.
Latsko gave them a tour of Newell Memorial Field. The property owner, the Business Development Corporation (BDC) of the Northern Panhandle, had been deeded the site by the Hancock County commissioners, who bought it in December 2012, and was looking for a buyer. Officials announced the sale in April 2014 but did not identify Latsko as the buyer until he had been awarded the franchise by Chrysler in July of that year. Latsko opened in the former Hackett building and started making plans for the construction of a new dealership. Ground was broken in June 2015. The project, under the direction of general contractor JD&E, of Wheeling, represents a $5.25 million investment in Hancock County—$250,000 for the purchase, $5 million for construction and $20,000 for “soft costs” such as legal fees, appraisals and environmental assessments.
Glass FROM PAGE 1A Dresden Ave., Tri-State Glass does commercial, residential and automotive work, with the help of twins James Wolfe and Richard Wolfe, brother Travis Vollberg, sister Jodi Shaw, longtime technician Ron Pillar and new hire Marlon Blaza. “About the only thing we don’t do are sun roofs, glass blocks and sky lights,” James Wolfe said. Vollberg describes her business as “old school,” with much of the work still being done by hand in the back shop. “It’s an art,” James Wolfe said. Technicians at Tri-State Glass can do custom orders, motorcycle windshields, home replacement windows, shower stalls and auto glass repairs. A broken car window can be done within a day’s time as long as the part is available. The Wolfe brothers also bid on larger commercial projects. Their handiwork can be seen on the AES building in Beaver Falls, Pa., the Feaster Center at Fairmont State University in Fairmont, W.Va., and Saybrook Landing Memory Care in Ashtabula, Ohio. Tri-State Glass is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Roe FROM PAGE 13B notice a wall-to-wall selection of these carpets placed throughout the showroom. Among the name brands available at the store include Mohawk, Beaulieu, Mannington, American Olean, and Mulican Hardwood along with several others. As Roe pointed out, however, carpet and tiles aren’t the only items the store has to offer. “A lot of people don’t realize that we sell a lot of shredding tile and would do a lot of bathroom and kitchen remodels,” Roe said. “We sell scrubbing tile, hardwood, laminate.” In addition to the large selection of flooring, Roe Carpet also provides installation services, handled by a team of four professional installers looking to provide quality service and experience, which includes her husband with 47 years of installation experience. Roe Carpet and Vinyl has been located at the same Dresden Avenue location since its opening in 1987, shortly after both Roe and her husband switched jobs. At that time, it shared the facility with a sporting goods store. After that store went out of business, Roe Carpet expanded to the other side of the suite and expanded its showroom and selection. “We opened up because Phillips closed. My husband worked for them and I had worked at Ogilvie’s Department Store. It was very little in hopes we could make a go for it, and here we are almost 30 years later in the same location,” Roe said. The store will also honor warranties for merchandise purchased at the store if defected. The store is open f10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays.

Shopping locally can help you and your community
Today’s consumers have more shopping options at their disposal than they did in years past. Though the Internet may put the world at one’s fingertips, more and more shoppers are discovering that buying locally makes for a superior shopping experience. The benefits associated with shopping locally are many, and the following are just a few reasons why shoppers may want to look no further than their own communities when planning their next shopping excursions.
Keeps money in the local economy Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.
Save money When factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense than driving to a faraway mall. In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers.
Diversify your home and lifestyle Shoppers who prefer more unique styles may find local businesses cater to their needs better than large chain stores. Larger retailers offer the same products to customers regardless of where those customers live, so a person in California may be decorating his or her home with the same furnishings as a person in North Carolina. But local shops tend to produce more unique items that are not available nationwide.
Promote entrepreneurship Small businesses are an essential element to the country’s economic growth. By shopping locally, consumers are showing their support for this important segment of the national economy.

Car FROM PAGE 5B In 2012, Davis bought another car wash in the 500 block of Carolina Avenue, renovated it and reopened it as Blue Suds. Davis said there’s more to being a car wash owner than meets the eye. He attributes his mechanical acumen to the influence of his father, Frank Davis. A millwright at Crucible Steel, the elder Davis tried to pass on his knowledge to his son. “I learned a lot about mechanical things from my dad,” he said. There are plenty of mechanical things to maintain at the car washes — everything from valves and tiny plastic nozzles to large air compressors and even larger salt tanks for the water softener system. Davis said the water at the washes is as soft as any bottled water, while reverse-osmosis technology adds a
second level of treatment for the spot-free rinse. Davis keeps tabs on both locations via an elaborate system of security cameras, which he can monitor live through his smartphone or personal computer. He’ll get an email if either of the automatic car washes has mechanical problems. Preventive maintenance on the machines is a monthly duty, while cleaning of the bays is a daily task. “For the most part, the general public takes good care of the facilities,” he said. Davis also gets help from his sons, Jeffrey and Joey, and from his wife, Cindy, who handles all of the administrative duties. This year, Davis plans to install new vacuums at both locations and credit/debit card readers in the selfserve bays.
Help establish local pride Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood. When travelers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods.
Attract other businesses Private and public sector businesses tend to gravitate around anchor stores. Should a local store be successful, banks, restaurants, salons, and other businesses may move in as well. Shopping locally benefits consumers in various ways, many of which contribute to a healthy local economy.
