Improvements continue at East Liverpool City Hospital EAST LIVERPOOL — A multitude of changes have taken place at East Liverpool City Hospital in the past couple of years, all of them aimed at improving patient experience. In a recent hospital publication, hospital CEO Ken Cochran said, “The changes we have recently implemented [at the hospital] offer our patients the best quality care and optimal medical outcomes.” Among the changes implemented since he took the helm in 2010 was actively pursuing partnerships with a variety of health providers, creating River Valley Health Partners, a collaborative effort to better serve patients. Partnerships with UPMC of Pittsburgh’s cardiologists, an emergency care provider, surgeons, and most recently, with Akron Children’s Hospital (ACH) have brought in services and personnel some
people had thought were lacking in the past. The 15-bed ACH unit was revamped with new floors, wall paint, privacy curtains, window blinds and decor, including bright but soothing colors and wall art by local children. More importantly, the unit also boasts upgraded equipment, including some geared specifically for children. New IV pumps, hemodynamic monitoring devices in each room and an EPIC computer system that allows physicians to enter their own orders improve patient safety and save time. The hospital has also instituted a breast health center offering women state-of-theart care, as well as a wound care center. Cochran has said previously that, while many smaller community hospitals are being bought out of large metropolitan health systems, he does not intend for that to happen to East Liverpool City Hospital, insisting that community hospitals are “com-
mitted to the health of their neighbors.” Upon joining the hospital staff, Cochran researched how the hospital was per-
ceived by the community, including residents and physicians, and said he found a perception that it was “old and

River Valley Health Partners
EAST LIVERPOOL — River Valley Health Partners East Liverpool City Hospital has implemented changes to improve responsiveness and transitions of care for orthopedic patients by implementing a new process that includes the addition of a patient navigator and orthopedic specialists within the hospital. Injuries resulting in broken bones or severely injured joints require a visit to the emergency room. A typical patient experience involves radiology tests and splinting the injured limb. Patients need to follow-up their hospital visit by obtaining images of the injury and scheduling an appointment with an orthopedic physician. In addition to these appointments, they may need to schedule surgery and physical therapy. The patient may need to perform all of these tasks on their own while they are not thinking clearly because of their injury and the effects of pain
medication. ELCH began addressing the complications associated with orthopedic injuries by employing a patient navigator that can be accessed anytime. Christie Mellinger, ELCH Patient Navigator stated, “We now manage the care of our patients from injury to recovery. By working with me, patients are assisted throughout their experience. I can help to alleviate the complexity of the process and coordinate the continuity of care with greater efficiency resulting in faster access to treatment.” The navigator meets with patients in the emergency room and coordinates the steps required for the patient. Besides providing the patient with information about area orthopedic physician, she can help schedule follow-up appointments, necessary surgeries, therapy and other tests that are required during the patient’s recovery.

Kent State University campuses look to meet needs of growing industries “We are not a community college or a technical school so our mission is a little different than some other places.” DR. STEPHEN NAMETH, DEAN
BY CHRIS RAMBO Staff Writer
EAST LIVERPOOL—Shale drilling has been a dominant topic in the county in recent years, and the East Liverpool branch of Kent State University is looking to make changes that reflect the industry’s growing presence. After more than a year of discussion, the campus has made a priority of hiring faculty that specialize in environmental science and water quality said Dr. Stephen Nameth, dean of both the East Liverpool and Salem campuses.
“We are not a community college or a technical school so our mission is a little different than some other places,” Nameth said. “The Kent State regional campuses will probably not be teaching welding or any of the technical jobs that are now at the forefront of the industry. We are looking to be more involved in the environmental and social-economic effects that could come up down the road once everything settles in.” Nameth hopes a hire will be made by the spring of 2014. He said that the types of classes offered would be science-based with an emphasis on water treatment and
water quality, while also stressing that the campus would take a balanced look at fracking. “People might assume that because we will be focusing on the environmental side of the issue that we are anti-fracking, but I don’t think that’s the right approach to take,” Nameth said. “We want to take the scientific approach. We want to look at the environmental issues both positive and negative. Also on the horizon, Nameth said that the East Liverpool Campus would be offering a bachelor’s degree in nursing starting in the fall after previously awarding associate
nursing degrees. “There is a need for more indepth education at the nursing level,” Nameth said. “There has been some discussion about hospitals requiring nurses to have a bachelor’s degree in nursing by the next decade. With that in mind, we wanted to move in the direction of more education at the nursing level.” The campus has also increased its number of distance-learning courses. According to Nameth, enrollment for East Liverpool is up by 175 students from a year ago, a jump he

These high quality full-spectrum mental health and substance abuse services are offered by the center’s caring professionals to community members of all ages-children, youth, adults, and seniors. The Counseling Center offers a subsidized fee that is based on a client’s ability to pay, and gladly accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most other insurances. “We are proud members of this community,” explained Roger Sikorszky, executive director of the Counseling Center, “But this

The concept of “Resiliency” is invoked by psychologists to explain these differing abilities, strengths, and coping skills; mental health professionals have developed methods for nurturing, facilitating and supporting these strengths. “We all face adversity,” and according to Sikorszky, “the question is how can we best marshal our inner resources to meet the chalSee CENTER, Page 10A

Growth An increasing demand for HMHP’s high quality care prompted the announcement of a $203 million investment in new construction and equipment improvements at all three hospitals over the next five years. Construction of the new $100 million patient tower at St. Elizabeth Boardman Health Center began in September. HMHP Physician Associates added 21 physicians to its ranks and opened Columbiana Cardiology in late 2012. The growing number of employed physicians enhances the ability of HMHP to deliver comprehensive care to a given population. New clinical services were added as well. Robotic surgery was introduced at St. Joseph Health Center, making it the first and only hospital in Trumbull County to have this technology. St. Elizabeth’s Heart and Vascular Center introduced atrial fibrillation ablation services; residents of the region previously had to go to
Excellence The passion and the hard work of its physicians and employees earned HMHP numerous national awards, including: St. Elizabeth, St. Joseph and St. Elizabeth Boardman health centers were ranked first, second and third, respectively, for the Youngstown/Warren metropolitan area in US News Media & World Reports’ 2012 – 2013 Best Hospitals rankings. St. Elizabeth Health Center was identified by US News and World Report as the seventh top performing hospital for quality and outcomes in Ohio for overall care and 48th in the nation for gynecology care. St. Joseph and St. Elizabeth Boardman health centers were named the 27th and 29th top performing hospitals in Ohio, respectively. St. Elizabeth Health Center was named by National Research Corporation as the best hospital in the Mahoning Valley for the eighth year in a row.
Technology In keeping with HMHP’s tradition of bringing innovative technology to the valley, the following were installed in 2012: 128-slice CT scanner at St. Elizabeth Boardman Health Center; Biplane imaging equipment in St. Elizabeth’s angiography suite; and Linear accelerator in St. Joseph’s cancer center.

A class at Eastern Gateway Community College attends safety training.
Eastern Gateway offers gas industry training By KATIE SCHWENDEMAN Staff Writer
With the geographical landscape changing from oil and gas efforts in Columbiana County, another landscape is adjusting to that change, and that is the education sector. Local colleges, eager to train a local workforce, have started offering specialized classes geared toward taking advantage of the “shale boom.” Eastern Gateway Community College headquartered in Steubenville began offering its non-credited gas industry training two years ago, Public Relations Director Ann Koon said. She said about 200 students have completed the short-term workforce training sessions geared toward entry level-roustabouts. Workforce safety training is also included in those sessions. Of those who completed the training, some are already employed and several dozen
are employed for entry-level positions, she added. Noticing the upward trend in the gas industry the college developed and only recently introduced a new college-level program for the fall semester. A press release explaining The Natural Gas Technology program said it is aimed toward preparing the “workforce of the future.” The program is designed to offer students a comprehensive understanding of the oil and gas industry, with a curriculum that includes fundamental science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Jerry Klinesmith, dean of business, engineering and information technologies, humanities and social sciences, said in the release the program has been presented to the Ohio Board of Regents Submitted photo for review and approval.

Akron Children’s opening of the Mahoning Valley’s only pediatric hospital at the Beeghly campus in Boardman in 2008 marked a major milestone for the entire community. The hospital’s investment of more than $56 million has resulted in a wide array of pediatric healthcare services provided close to home. In 2012, Akron Children’s Hospital Pediatrics (ACHP) Warren expanded and moved to a larger, newly constructed office, representing a $500,000 commitment to the community. To help the growing team more efficiently care for patients, the new building includes 20 exam rooms organized in pods to improve staff communication, dedicated rooms for audio/visual testing and immunizations, and a larger, more comfortable waiting area with dedicated areas for well and sick visits. Last fall, Pediatrician Justin Kahn, MD, and Nurse Practitioner Candace Horvath joined doctors Gary Backner, K. Gurumurthy, Amy Rice Young and Angela Pettenati at ACHP Warren. With six providers and extended office hours, ACHP Warren can continue its dedication to seeing sick patients the day mom or dad calls. The practice provides a full range of care for infants, children and teens, including well child visits and routine check-ups, immunizations, sports, school and camp physicals, treatment for illness and injury, and chronic
disease management. On its Beeghly campus, Akron Children’s Hospital Mahoning Valley made several upgrades and improvements in radiology, which decreased the need for many patients to travel outside of the region for specialized care. Upgrades were primarily funded by a donation from the Kikel Charitable Trust and included new imaging equipment, an MRI-compatible general anesthesia machine, a digital radiographic procedure room, 16-slice CT scanning equipment, and a new digital Xray system. The Kikel Center for Pediatric Surgery – the Valley’s only dedicated pediatric surgery center – added general pediatric surgery for non-urgent surgical procedures. Additionally, two new pediatric ophthalmologists, Nancy Hanna, MD and William Lawhon, MD, who specialize in diagnosing and treating eye diseases and visual system disorders in infants, children and teens, joined Dr. Richard Hertle, MD at Akron Children’s Vision Center in Boardman and will perform surgery at the Kikel Center for Pediatric Surgery.

Hearing Aids and Devices Inc. July 7, 2013
Evelyn Jones, president of Hearing Aids and Devices Inc., started in the hearing industry 25 years ago. She started out working for a very large franchise in Youngstown and later was promoted to manager of all of Columbiana County. After eight years, she decided to open her own business and now has offices in Columbiana and Salem. Jones enjoys very much working with the hearing impaired. “I care very much about my patients, they have become my friends, and I want to make sure they get the very best care.” She offers free hearing tests, office visits and cleaning on hearing aids every four months. After being in the industry 25 years, she notes that so much has changed in the hearing industry, going from analog technology to digital, and now digital and programmable aids are very much in demand. “I work on a referral basis from my patients and also refer patients to ear, nose throat specialists when needed,” she said. Sensorial neural hearing loss happens very gradually over a period of years, and the person with the hearing loss is usually the last one to think they have a problem,
because it happens so gradually, you learn to live with it. The symptoms are that you will feel people mumble, you will want to face people as they speak, talking on the phone becomes more difficult, (depending on the pitch of the voice) riding in the car talking becomes more difficult and background noise will bother you. If a conductive loss is found, that would be a medical problem and Jones will refer you to an ENT. Hearing Aids and Devices Inc. carries a full line of assistive listening devices and all the supplies needed for hearing aids such as batteries and testers. “My advice to anyone who works around noise or has noisy hobbies such as saws or guns, is to wear hearing protection. What happens over a period of time is that the silica hair nerves on the cochlea start bending and breaking and it will result in not being able to understand the correct words. This problem happens from noise, heredity, a bump on the head and some medications,” she said. Despite the long hours it took and the determination to start her own business, Jones said it has been worth it, and she wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Windsor House Wee the People July 7, 2013
Windsor House Inc., owner and operator of 11 nursing homes and four assisted living communities in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania expanded its services in 2012 to meet demand. For Windsor House, the demands have increased for those who need short term rehabilitation and assisted living care. To meet this demand, Windsor House opened two new assisted living communities in 2012, Windsor Estates Assisted Living in Mahoning County and Champion Estates in Trumbull County. Both Windsor Estates and Champion Estates consist of 56 apartments including some first-floor apartments, state-of-the-art common areas including a private dining room, club room, activity room and beauty and barber salon. The assisted living communities provide around-the-clock personal care services while promoting independent living. The spacious apartments feature a kitchenette equipped with a
microwave and refrigerator, wall-to-wall carpeting and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. Limited apartment styles remain at Windsor Estates, and Champion Estates is filling up faster than any other community Windsor House has owned and operated. With the opening of Windsor Estates and Champion Estates Assisted Living, nearly 60 jobs have been created. With the increase in short-term rehabilitation and those needing additional care after leaving the hospital or nursing home, Windsor House’s home health division, Home Health by Windsor, has expanded and is now servicing the tri-county area. Additional information can be found by visiting www.HomeHealthByWindsor.com. For additional information on Windsor House Inc. please contact 330-5451550 or visit www.WindsorHouseInc.com.
Wee the People has quickly become one of the most popular choices for quality child care in the area. Since the first location opened its doors in downtown East Liverpool in 2008, the response from parents has been so overwhelming that owner Amber Spiroff-Ramsey had to expand to a second location in 2011, Wee the People II, in Calcutta. The more people try Wee the People for their own children, the more the business grows. Last year saw the addition of Wee the People III in the former YMCA Child Care Center on Maplewood Avenue, just off St. Clair Avenue, in East Liverpool. Spiroff-Ramsey has a simple explanation for the explosive growth of Wee the People over the last four years. “We give peace of mind to parents of all ages to have a reliable, trustworthy place to bring their children while they are working or going to school themselves,” she said. Wee the People III has undergone a full renovation
CCCTC Adult Training The Columbiana County Career & Technical Center Adult Education Department offers a variety of programs designed to assist people changing careers, learning new skills or to retrain people who are dislocated from their current vocation. As a result of the current job market and to accommodate new employers moving into the area we have added additional sections of most of our programs. We offer nine full time programs that can be completed in under one year. The welding and machine trades occupations have been consistently growing in our area. Learning a new skill or having a vocation is essential in today’s workplace environment. Besides the great skill training at CCCTC, the other great asset to students is that at CCCTC we are the “debt free alternative”. Tuition is kept low so students can afford to go to school without incurring huge loans. When their program is completed they can graduate “debt free.” Besides industrial programs, CCCTC has been offering healthcare courses and programs for over 20 years. We have been offering LPN Nursing for eight years. We are very proud of our programs and the impact they make on our area. Many local employers come to us when they are seeking qualified employees. Salem Community Hospital has identified CCCTC as a potential source for applicants, has hired many of our graduates and is one of our clinical partners. According to Jackie Boyle, human resource director at Salem Community Hospital, she can count on CCCTC for quality applicants in many areas of the hospital from phlebotomist, unit secretaries, patient care technicians to nursing. We have had a positive relationship with Salem Community Hospital and many other healthcare providers in our community for many years. We would like to thank all of our clinical partners for supporting our students in their educational quests. Everyday we hear success stories from our Graduates and we would like to share them with you, our future students.

The course was difficult at first but my instructors made it easy to understand. CCCTC also offers continuing education hours which is very helpful because I know once again I can come back to my school for the CEU’s. CCCTC has opened up many doors of opportunity. I would recommend CCCTC to anyone who wants a brighter future. Becoming Nationally Certified sets me apart. I could not be happier with the education and training I received. Thank you CCCTC.

Ohio Valley College of Technology
EAST LIVERPOOL — Ohio Valley College of Technology is housed in a new facility on state Route 170 in Calcutta encompassing 20,000 square feet of space including a library/media center, student lounge area, multiple computer lecture classrooms, laboratory facilities for medical assisting, dental assisting, and nursing, technologicallyequipped general classrooms, faculty workspace, and administrative offices. Parking for over 200 vehicles is available on the 10acre campus. OVCT maintains a large social media network, with a presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Links to these social media sites are located on the college’s website. Originally founded in 1886, OVCT is one of the oldest career colleges in the state of Ohio. The mission of the college is to provide quality, technically-skilled graduates to the regional workforce. A comprehensive retention and placement support system is managed by the college, so that all students have a reasonable opportunity to complete their program of study and find employment in their career field. For those who wish to continue their education and pursue a bachelor’s degree, formal articulation agreements are in place with DeVry University and the University of

Phoenix. The institution also maintains agreements with East Liverpool High School’s Diversified Health Occupations and Administrative and Professional Support Staff Program, the Columbiana County Career and Technical Center’s Health Tech Prep Academy, and Jefferson County Joint Vocational School’s Health Technology Program. These agreements provide high school students with college credit for skills learned in these programs. Demand remains high for the college’s allied health training programs. The college’s teaching philosophy emphasizes that the small classroom environment is most conducive to learning and that hands-on activities enhance this process. Class sizes are kept small to allow for maximum student-instructor interaction, and the administration’s open-door policy provides students easy access to the information and support they need to be successful. Structured scheduling makes it possible to earn an associate degree in less than two years, and individual schedules are prepared by the college staff, which saves students considerable time in planning their education. Financial aid officers are available to assist students with funding their education and financial aid is available to those who qualiSee OVCT, Page 12A

There is an available preschool curriculum at each location for children beginning at age 3 that instills kindergarten readiness. “It’s all fundamental learning to get them ready for the beginning of their school years,” Spiroff-Ramsey said.

According to Nameth, the program saw over 20 students enroll in the first year. Going forward, he hopes to expand the curriculum and eventually make it a completely online program. According to the university website, the Ohio insurance industry workforce is project-
ed to grow by 7.1 percent by 2016, something that Nameth believes will make the program attractive. “The insurance agency is one that is continuing to grow,” Nameth said. “With corporate offices in Columbus as well as Westfield, Ohio there are tremendous employment opportunities for local students. We think it’s going to be a really popular program.”
the preschool level. In addition, all Wee the People employees are certified in child CPR and first aid with training in communicable diseases. Wee the People has a slate of warm-weather outdoor activities, including field trips and educational development along with fun for school-aged children. Spiroff-Ramsey believes that even though summer means time off from classes, that doesn’t mean kids can’t continue learning while they play. Wee the People accepts children in subsidized state programs through Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Affordability doesn’t mean low quality, however. In fact, Wee the People I just received its first star from the “Step Up to Quality” rating
program sponsored by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services. The rating acknowledges continued improvement in meeting guidelines for quality child care. Wee the People is also part of the Educational Subsidized Program through the East Liverpool YMCA. Families enrolled at any one of their locations at least parttime in a weekly program are eligible for a discount on a family membership to the YMCA of up to 45 percent. All this is available at Wee the People I from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; at Wee the People II from 5 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Saturday; and at Wee the People III from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. — Richard Sberna

Lookw hatyourneighborsaresaying abouttheirexperiencesw ith Hearing AidsAnd Devices. Huh? What did you say? Come again... These were all things that came out of my mouth several times a day until recently. As a recently turned 30 year old man, I was very reluctant to get my ears checked, there was no issue with my hearing, the problem was with everyone else around me. This is what I thought until my children started getting frustrated when talking to me. That’s when I said time to get checked out. What do you know, I was wrong. It wasn’t everyone elses fault, I really did have hearing issues. Well not anymore, thanks to Hearing Aids & Devices. I am now wearing the wrap behind the ear hearing aids and can not believe what I was missing all this time. The crispness of people’s voices is something I have not heard in a very long time. There was no hassle to buy, the staff was very friendly and Evelyn sat down with me and explained every inch of the hearing aid. Thank you all so very much, Hearing Aids & Devices, you not only helped me, but you helped my whole family and all those around me. Thanks Again Hearing Aids & Devices.
Salem, Ohio
Dear Evelyn, I was a hard sell for my hearing aids. You called me for 10 years. Inviting me in for hearing tests & I went because they were free. I was keeping track of my loss, in denial, but keeping track, Nov. 2012 came and I finally was ready to buy. I could kick myself for not buying 10 years ago, when I was working. I could have had them paid for. Now I am retired and struggling to get by; but I can hear again my wife, birds, grandchildren and its truly wonderful. If I can give any advice - don’t be stubborn. If you need hearing aids get them before more damage is done. After all they are your ears.

lenges we face?” He went on to say, “This question is equally relevant for the Counseling Center and the clients we serve... the fact that, as clients and as a healthcare agency, we are constantly ‘overcoming adversity’ of all kinds, including the stigma of mental illness. And we are celebrating 50 years of doing so.” During the first commemorative event, the Counseling Center celebrated the accomplishments of adults with severe mental illness. The second event in May honored the youth and families of the center. Those who participated in this free, well-attended workshop learned how to apply Resiliency principles in their work with children from Dr. Rick Shepler, an expert in the area. “As in past years,” Sikorszky reported, “We are celebrating a number of agency accomplishments.” The list follows: We assisted 215 adults with serious mental illnesses or addictions to obtain and maintain competitive employment, 68 of one year or longer. A total of 71 of 81 (88 percent) of homeless adults with serious mental illnesses were placed in safe, decent, permanent housing following a stay at one of the center’s homeless shelters. The Positive Beginnings Program served 800 Head Start students and families. This program contributed to a 10 percent reduction of children identified with social/emotional concerns during the course of the school year. There were 20 families that completed multisystemic therapy (MST), an intensive program for children at imminent risk of out-of-home placement. In 19 of 20 families, the children remained in the home, and, in all families, parents reported improved parenting skills. We were able to provide 57 indigent families – 139 children– with a Christmas by giving $25 vouchers per child with severe emotional problem who is receiving services at our agency.” Moreover, in a 2012 survey of local community professionals and organizations who often refer clients to the Counseling Center, 94 percent felt “satisfied or very sat-

isfied” with the center’s “ease of referral” and 96 percent endorsed the same regarding their “overall satisfaction” with our services. The center received particularly positive comments about its screening, community support, and youth programs, including this comment: “The folks working with our program have been absolutely wonderful. They are definitely in it for the children and families. Exactly what we need.” In a separate survey of 113 of the center’s clients’ feelings about the adult community support program, 9499 percent responded positively to feeling “understood,” “involved in deciding treatment plan goals,” feeling their “privacy is respected,” and feeling “comfortable talking about problems and services” with their clinical worker. In addition, the following testimonials were written in the surveys: “I have been treated with the utmost respect. Everyone that helped with my treatment I feel was the best.” “I would refer anyone to the Counseling Center.” “Without their services, I wouldn’t be alive today. Thank you so much for your support.” “It saved ‘me’.” “We continue to grow our services,” Sikorszky said. For instance, this year, the Counseling Center expanded its onsite, school-based counseling services to many school districts throughout the county. A new program, employing evidence-based tools, also initiated this past school year provides school-based mental health education and screening in a number of middle and high schools in a variety of
school districts. In addition, this spring Dr. Christopher Seman began offering expanded psychiatric services to children and adolescents at both the center’s Lisbon and East Liverpool locations. Finally, experienced counselors, Marie Harrigan, PCC, LSW and Christina Berry, PCC, are now offering services at the Salem office and Kathy Enterline, PCC/S, LSW and Erica Underwood, LSW, are now offering counseling services at the East Liverpool offices. Looking toward the future, the Counseling Center is preparing to offer a new program that will better integrate the physical, mental, and emotional healthcare of a number of its clients with a serious and persistent mental illness and a chronic physical condition. “The idea,” Sikorszky explains, “is for a team of professionals to work with these clients and help them better manage their mental and medical problems in a more planned and monitored way.” The hope is that this will result in better outcomes for these clients in both areas of concern. By way of summing up, Sikorszky states, “We are grateful to have been an active member of this community for nearly 50 years, offering a wide variety of services that include supporting parents, strengthening families, and caring for those who are depressed, feeling lonely and abandoned. “With the help of our many community partners and collaborators, we hope to be around for another 50.”
enhance educational opportunities?” The district has already begun professional development for the teaching staff this summer to prepare for the 21st century education curriculum that will be implemented in the new complex. “If we don’t do it before we move in, we know this won’t be successful,” Polen admitted. In addition to the middle school being razed to make way for ball fields, the high school and elementaries in Calcutta, Rogers and West Point will also be demolished. In the case of the elementary buildings, once the buildings are razed, the property will be sold. Modular buildings currently in place at the schools will be sold back to the company that makes them. The decision to raze existing buildings and sell the property was made due to laws that mandate a public school district must first offer to sell any closed building to community schools before they can be sold to anyone else. “We don’t want them in our backyard,” Polen said bluntly about such community schools, which pose competition to public schools by absorbing their student popu-
lation and financing. Construction of the school complex will also result in some changes to the traffic pattern of state Route 7 and Bell School Road, on which the building will be located. Polen explained that the state route will be widened, with a left-turn lane added as well as a traffic light, paid for by the Ohio Department of Transportation. Bell School will also be widened, with turning lanes added. It is anticipated groundbreaking will take place in mid-August of this year, with an “early site package” expected to be completed, which includes rough-grade blacktop initially so construction traffic won’t be traveling through mud. Sewer lines, electrical lines, water lines and the foundation pad for the complex should be completed by November, Polen said, adding he expects contractors will be laying block by early 2014. “The public will see the layout of the building and parking lot in November,” he said. The project should be completed by August 2015, with the class of 2016 the first to graduate from the new complex.

classroom space, among the amenities that will be included in the school building will be three gymnasiums, one for each grade level. The high school gym will seat 1,050; the middle school, 350; and the elementary, 150. While the OSFC does not fund auditoriums, the district has opted to add a new 750seat auditorium to the complex. Polen said the district already has local funding built into the budget for the auditorium, which will be complimented by a scene shop and dressing rooms and state-ofthe-art lighting. Students will be served by one large kitchen but two dining areas. The middle and high schools will each have 1,183square-foot art rooms, and the high school band room will be 1,800 square feet, with a choir room, practice rooms and storage also included in the plan. The multiple handicapped units will exit onto courtyards where there will be areas for gardening. “When they plan these buildings, they tell you how much space you need for what,” Polen said, saying the master plan was developed with the idea “what features can we add to benefit kids and

Medical Office Billing/Coding I put off going back to school for several years. Each year thinking, “Well, now it’s definitely too late.” I am one with a tendency to not follow through with something I start. I did not think I could do it. I was a single mother of a 2 year old and decided that it was more or less now or never. I needed a career and a dependable income to provide for my little family. So, I called CCCTC and got signed up for the medical billing and coding course. I was so scared and did not know what I got myself into. I continued working at my full time job all the while going to school four times a week and spending hours on homework. Yes, I may have lost a small amount of time with my daughter but, I have gained a lifetime with her because of CCCTC. I graduated with a 4.0 and passed my National Coding Test with a 96 percent. I am the first to tell you the course is hard, but the instructors are all there to give you one on one assistance and only a phone call or text away. I would not have been able to do it without the guidance and knowledge of the wonderful instructors at CCCTC. I now have a new career working for Salem Community Hospital. I will be the first to say, “If I can do it, you can too.” Make that phone call today. It is never to late.

Ohio Oil & Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) study in which they projected oil and gas producers will spend more than $34 billion on exploration and development, midstream, royalties and leasing through 2015. The study also concluded the industry will create nearly 205,000 jobs in Ohio during that time, and that industry wages in the state will exceed $12 billion in annual salaries and personal income by 2015. “Such projections are significant for Ohio’s high school and college graduates, displaced workers and career changers who wish to find a good-paying job in the oil and gas industry and stay in the region,” he said. According to Klinesmith, the recent exploration and development of the Utica Shale has paved the way for these opportunities that were often “unimaginable.” As a result, the college is “very busy developing oil and gas curriculum” for its students, he said. The college is also working on developing courses such as an introduction to the petroleum and natural gas industry, petroleum geology, drilling methods and operations, drilling fluids, formation evaluation, casing and cementing, horizontal directional drilling, hydraulic fracturing, the proliferation of natural gas, and the optimization of natural gas production, according to the release. The college has recently developed a new associate degree called Natural Gas Operations, which will be offered in the fall semester. It is also developing short term certificates, which will focus on providing foundational skills for jobs in the industry. Courses will include Intro to Natural Gas, Natural Gas Geology, The Anatomy of a Well Site, and Natural Gas Accounting, Koon said. kschwendeman@mojonews.com

In 2012, Akron Children’s doubled the number of specialties on the U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals ranking to eight. Akron Children’s also was redesignated as a Magnet hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and is one of only 34 Magnet pediatric hospitals nationwide.

Grad rates — To date 112 people have completed the non-credited training program ShaleNET. The full-time program runs 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for three weeks. — As of last quarter 60 to 65 percent of EGCC students had employment in the Oil and Gas Industry from the earliest classes that were held. — Pay for industry jobs range from $13 to more than $25 per hour. According to Ann Koon, one student started at $18.50 and was hired by another company after four months. The new job’s hourly rate was $28.50. “Average wage at the last survey was nearly $17 per hour. These folks work long hours. Many of them work 12 hour shifts, two weeks on, two weeks off. The overtime for this kind of work is what increases the pay that these folks can receive. They work hard, but they have the opportunity to make good money and if they’re dependable, many will have opportunities to move up into even better positions in this field,” Koon said. She added there is a “huge need” for welders, truck drivers, and heavy equipment operators and that graduates have gotten jobs as heavy equipment operators, truck drivers, roustabouts, well tenders, lease operators, environmental technicians, floor hands, and traffic control operators, to name a few. Eastern Gateway’s ShaleNET Floor Hand Training program prepares successful graduates for entry-level training for floor hand and field technician jobs in the natural gas drilling and production industry, Koon said.

HM Home Health Services received national honors when it was named as part of HomeCare Elite 2012 for the seventh year in a row, putting them in the top five percent of home care agencies in the nation for quality and outcomes The future The fast pace of change will continue at HMHP in 2013 with the construction of the St. Elizabeth Boardman patient tower. “The end result of this growth initiative will be the relocation of some hospital services from Youngstown to Boardman and remodeling at St. Elizabeth and St. Joseph health centers to provide all private patient rooms,” said Robert Shroder, HMHP’s president and CEO. Capital investments in technology will be made and MHHP will continue to recruit new physicians to the area to support and complement its medical staff members and ensure there are enough physicians to meet the health care needs of the future. As it looks beyond 2013, HMHP will focus on delivering state-of-theart health care and building the future of health care for the Mahoning Valley. HMHP success will remain grounded in its passion for excellence and ability to navigate the challenges unique to the health care industry. With the guidance of the local board of directors, it will continue to make the best decisions for HMHP and for the nine county market it serves.
racetrack design with patient rooms on the outside and a nurse’s station in the center, the tower will allow the patient rooms in the current facility to also become private, with the hospital maintaining around the same number of beds at 117. The patient tower is the product of a lengthy mission of improving inpatient care at SCH that began four years ago under former president/CEO Howard Rohleder. Plans for the new facility were unveiled in June 2012, with groundbreaking taking place on July 10, 2012. With new president/CEO Steve Ruwoldt at the helm, SCH hopes to become one of Columbiana County’s leading health care providers. “The new patient tower is a $42.5 million investment in Salem and the surrounding communities.” Hoffmeister said. “When it is completed, Columbiana County will have a brand new facility where inpatients can benefit from the advanced technology already in place at SCH.” Noting that both the groundbreaking and beam signing ceremonies had capacity crowds, Hoffmeister notes that support for the new patient tower from the Salem community has been high and that “people are excited about the change and supportive of the Hospital’s efforts to provide state-of-the-art care and facilities.” Privacy will not be the only thing updated with the new patient tower. Visitors will enjoy the new public amenities that include a coffee kiosk, gift shop, classroom space and an enclosed two-story parking deck. With construction expecting to be completed in January 2014, patients are expected to begin receiving services at the new tower several weeks afterward. Hoffmeister said staff will use that time to grow familiar with new equipment as well as be trained on the location of supplies within the new facility. When the tower is in operation, Hoffmeister believes that SCH will take one step further toward providing patients with the best possible care. “The goal of the new patient tower was to provide a healing environment that meets the clinical, privacy and social needs of our patients and their loved ones.” Hoffmeister said. “This project, combined with the skills of our medical, nursing and ancillary staffs will meet these goals.”
es the chances that the cancer can be treated successfully. According to a recent study comparing traditional chest xrays to CT lung cancer screenings, high risk individuals have a 20 percent reduction in lung cancer death when screened annually using CT lung cancer screening. The screening produces high resolution 3-D images in just three seconds and does not require any special diet or preparation. Electronic medical record (EMR) In February 2013, SCH physicians and staff completed a significant step toward a fully electronic medical record with the introduction of CPOE or Computerized Patient Order Entry. The primary purpose of the EMR is to improve quality, safety, efficiency and coordination of care. Patient Secure In June 2013, SCH became the first hospital in Ohio to introduce Patient Secure, a new, secure and easy way to register for hospital services. Considered 100 times more accurate than fingerprinting, the computerized system uses harmless nearinfrared light to scan the veins in an individual’s palm for identification and registration purposes. Once an initial scan is completed and linked to the patient’s electronic medical record, checking in for Hospital services is as easy as providing a birth date and completing a quick palm scan. Patient Secure provides a number of benefits including assurance that the right care is provided to the right patient, protection against medical identity theft, faster patient

The best may be yet to come Brittain Motors for those with oil and gas leases

July 14, 2013
Morning Journal
By KATIE SCHWENDEMAN Staff Writer
Getting out of debt is the trend when it comes to money received from the oil and gas industry in Columbiana County and surrounding counties. Investment and financial companies with clients here and the neighboring counties said most people are using their money from land, pipeline and water leasing contracts to pay off debt. Certified Financial Planner Bob McCulloch of Hunter and Associates in Salem said the company has seen a slight upswing in financial planning and investing from his clients. “We have seen a modest influx of folks with proceeds from their wells, but my perception is the first thing people seem to do is pay off debt, buy equipment and buy vehicles,” he said. He and his associate John Scarpitti have a combined 60 years’ experience with the company, and McCulloch believes the upward trend will continue as the industry develops. The influx is mostly from landowners who have wells on their property. While a majority are paying off debt, everyone’s investments are different, he added. “It’s like most investing, it depends on the person and their personality,” he said. Steve Bailey, CPA With Bailey Financial in Salem said his clients who are farmers are saving their signing bonuses to buy more land. “The ones I talk to want to buy more land but land is so expensive, and there is not a
lot for sale ... They put money into savings accounts hoping to buy more land in the future, and it’s not available or it’s going for ridiculous prices,” he said. He explained land was easier to buy when people were receiving $5,000 per acre on signing bonuses from oil and gas leases. “I don’t know of anybody getting bonus checks around here anymore,” he said. He and Certified Public Accountant Roger Hack, of Hack Steer and Co. LLC in Salem and Steve Sant, president and CEO of 11st Community Investment Services in Calcutta believe the real game-changer will be the royalty checks that come in once oil and gas is recovered from the shale play. “I think it will definitely increase” Sant said of local investing. “Most people have gotten the bonus money but haven’t really started receiving that royalty check yet. I think once the royalty checks start coming they will understand this is really a life changing event for them if they are fortunate enough to have land where there is a well. I think that is really going to be the trigger.” Hack said their clients are paying down debt with their bonus money and waiting until royalties come in. Royalties are not guaranteed, however, since they are only paid if oil and gas are recovered. He added those earning money through the industry are putting it toward purchasing more land or equipment to for their farms. He said that unfortunately, what is left over is often-times being put into savings

accounts that aren’t paying high interest. The CPA firm advises the clients to keep what they have on hand as cash. “You can only buy so many new pickups trucks and fencing. If anything is close to what they are projecting I think there is a lot of opportunity out there for those who have substantial leases. When the royalty checks start coming it’s going to be a whole new ball game,” he said. Sant agreed. “Everyone is waiting for royalty money. I think the key is when the royalty income starts coming, then I think we’ll see some changes in the habits of people,” he said. Landowners are asking how the money will affect them from a tax standpoint, he added. “We’ve seen what I would call a slight increase in inquiries about tax implications, estate planning implications and so forth,” he said. Some of them are taking advantage of the companies’ trust and retail investment
programs, he added. Hack said the “hot issue” right now is tax planning for people who have leased their property to companies bringing pipeline through to the Kensington East Ohio Utica Plant. The firms’ clients reside in Columbiana, Carroll and Jefferson County. Springfield Township north of East Palestine and Hanoverton, not far from the Kensington plant, are areas where many pipelines are being laid, he added. Todd Hogan, Financial Advisor at Edward Jones Investments in Columbiana, said their clients are focusing on long-term goals, such as retirement or education for their children or grandchildren. “Specifically what I’ve seen lately is people talking about leaving a legacy. They want to know how they can efficiently pass these on taxfree to generations, and that’s something we can definitely See LEASES, Page 15B
EAST PALESTINE — Family owned and operated since 1925, Brittain Chevrolet has persevered through thick and thin, enjoying the ease of prosperity and the harshness of depression. Four generations of the Brittain family have been able to succeed because of their dedication to making the best possible deals for customers through consistency in sales attitude, honesty and fairness. During the Great Depression, Tom Brittain’s family drove school buses and operated the only wrecker service between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. They also managed a car dealership at the corner of Market and Martin streets—a business that still stands today as Brittain Chevrolet. “We made things happen. We just survived,” he said of his business, handed down to him through his grandfather, Clyde; father, Paul; and uncle, Harold; and to his son, Cory. “You just gotta keep on going forward. People who give up never have a chance.” Now, 88 years after the dealership’s opening in 1925, and with the economy now turning around, Brittain said there’s not much he has to do differently than in prosperous times. Brittain’s has been rated higher than any other dealer in the Valley and in the Top 10 by their customers for customer service-sales and satisfaction. “Right now, we’re trying to match our inventory with what is popular and in line with the best rebates,” he said.
That includes price advantages that General Motors puts on some overstocked models to keep the factories running. “We sell a ton of trucks. We sell more trucks than a lot of the dealerships in the area because we know trucks,” he added. Brittain said he and his staff normally have no problem selling used cars because the used cars they have were traded in by customers, who also have their cars serviced at the dealership. “It’s easy to sell something you know the service history of... It’s also to the advantage of the customer,” he noted. While he acknowledges many people have recently fallen on tough times, he noted the nation survived the Great Depression, which was much worse. “I shouldn’t be worried about what’s going on right now,” he said. “My grandfather took (the dealership) through the Depression, and I have made it through the last few years. “That was a real depression. That was a real scare...We survived the big one, and that went on for years.” Brittain Chevrolet has been through a lot in 88 years, and Brittain is sure his dealership will see even more in the next 88 years and keep going strong. And the number one reason his family’s business has weathered the storm for years? “It’s all customer service,” he explained. “Make people happy and they’ll come back.”

Huntington Bank Six Recycling July 14, 2013
Huntington Bank of the Mahoning Valley Region, 23 Federal Plaza, Youngstown, has been in business for over 147 years. It currently employees around 600 people in the Mahoning Valley Region and 12,000 bank wide. Over these years, Huntington has continued to adapt to the times, most recently finding ways to assist residents during the shale drilling boom. With their sudden wealth, Marcellus/Utica Shale land owners are looking for financial guidance and Huntington’s experienced wealth advisors have been able to provide the support and financial service our customers and prospective customers need and deserve. Huntington provides these services through a unified sales team, which consists of private bankers, trust officers, and investment advisors. Aligned with the 11 regional commercial banking markets, this coordinated service model delivers products and services directly and through the other segment product partners. A fundamental point of differentiation is our commitment to be in the market, working closely with clients and their other advisors to identify needs, offer solutions and provide ongoing advice in an optimal client experience. As Huntington has done since early 2010, we will continue executing our core strategy, growing market share and increasing the number of products cross sold through selective investments in initiatives to grow long-term profitability. We will stay focused on increasing customer cross-sell ratios and delivering positive operating leverage. Locally, Huntington’s Mahoning Valley Region serves its customers through a network of 48 full-service branches in six counties, including: Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties in Ohio and Erie, Mercer and Lawrence counties in Pennsylvania.

see positive trends within our Midwest markets relative to the broader United States. Nevertheless, broad based customer sentiment began to change in late 2012, due to increased concerns regarding the U.S. economy. While some businesses are hesitant to invest given the current uncertainty in the economy, we believe our differentiated approach to banking, combined with investing in our franchise through enhanced convenience, products and services, will drive growth and improvement of our long-term profitability. We were once again the number one Small Business Administration lender across our six-state footprint and ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Small Business Banking” according to J.D. Power and Associates. Our “Fair Play” banking philosophy implemented in 2010 aligns with the spirit of many of the new consumer banking regulations. Other banks continue to add fees and reduce convenience, while we believe the path to long-term relationships with our customers is through a superior level of service built around simple products that are easy to understand. Huntington has been named one of the Best Banks in America 2012 by Money Magazine. Looking forward, we believe these deep relationships will assist us over the next several years. “We continue to deliver premium customer service through our colleagues, products and services like Huntington’s new Commercial and Consumer Cards,” said See BANK, Page 15B
EAST LIVERPOOL— If, by some miracle, Six Recycling was scaled down to miniature size, it would be a little boy’s dream. There’s a massive, bright green material handler that has a claw at the end of its heavy-duty boom. It can lift up to 25,000 pounds. There are machines that can crush, chop and cut metal. Bright red trucks with a load capacity of 45,000 pounds roll in and out all day long. But Six Recycling, squeezed onto 3.5 acres at 505 Maple St., is no playground. The business has become an East End institution since the Six family bought it in 1990. Last year, it did about $5 million in sales to steel mills, said Ray Six, treasurer. “We like to stress that we’re a family-run business that’s not just a business,” Frank Six said. “We like to support the community.” Ray Six, 35, runs the business with his twin brother, Frank, and his older brother, Greg, 54. Greg Six’s children, Greg Six II and Carlie Six Reynolds also are involved with the company. Ray Six joined the family business in 2003 after earning a dual bachelor’s degree in computer information systems and business administration at West Liberty (W.Va.) University. “To me, it was a no-brainer, and it’s worked out well,” said Ray Six, who formerly worked as a computer engineer at Weirton Steel. Company officials said 2012 was a good year for Six Recycling, largely because it won the contract for the demolition of the old Taylor, Smith & Taylor pottery site in Chester. With high visibility from U.S. Route 30, the job was like a seven-month advertisement for Six Recycling. The project ended as the year drew to a close, and Six earned kudos from state and local officials, who are marketing the clean, eight-and-ahalf-acre site for economic development purposes. Historic TS&T pottery items recovered by Six workers were donated to the city of Chester and the Hancock

County Museum. “We found hundreds of pieces,” Greg Six said. Also in 2012, Six Recycling purchased a new material handler—a large machine used to lift, sort and separate the scrap metal that arrives every day. The Sennebogen 825, manufactured in Germany, can be driven or operated in a stationary position. “It does all kinds of work,” Ray Six said, noting that it turns 360 degrees and has several attachments, including a large magnet. Six Recycling buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals from industries and the general public—everything from pop cans to large steel beams. Non-ferrous metals include copper, aluminum, brass and stainless steel. About 50 percent of its business is steel that gets sold to steel mills,
Ray Six said. The amount Six pays to customers is based on weight and the type of metal. Six also buys junk automobiles (with a title) and sells them to auto shredders. The cars are crushed into bales the size of a refrigerator and are then shredded, sorted by metal, and then recycled, Ray Six said. “The biggest pieces are the size of your fist,” he said. Many of the metals that come to Six Recycling are sold to foundries, which melt them down and reuse them. “Of what we ship out of here, 99 percent gets recycled and reused for some new purpose,” Ray Six said. With the increase in gas drilling in the Marcellus and Utica shales, Six also has noticed an increase in the amount of steel pipe and other metals being recycled.
Six makes its roll-off containers available for use at gas drilling sites and a host of other locations where scrap metal is being disposed of. Six Recycling is still adjusting to a new Ohio law that requires recyclers to register their businesses with an online database and to keep a record of every customer they deal with. The Ohio legislature passed Senate Bill 193 unanimously last June as a way to curtail the trafficking of stolen scrap metal such as copper. Businesses such as Six must scan each customer’s driver’s license and obtain a document of the license plate. A live picture must also be taken while customers are being paid. “It takes longer to process everyone,” Ray Six said. —Stephen Huba

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.

As an employer, are you faced with the challenge of finding workers who are free of drugs and alcohol? Due to the regional Shale boom, substance use problems have surfaced as employers report an increase in the number of job applicants who have failed pre-employment drug tests. Even pre-employment testing isn’t enough. Job seekers often “clean up” long enough to pass these tests but continue to use substances after they are hired. The Drug Free Workplace Solutions Program (DFWSP) offered by Family Recovery Center in Lisbon is a regional solution for businesses. Solutions include: employee and supervisor training, pre-employment and random drug screens, counseling services for employees in recovery, and employee assistance programs. Drug and alcohol screens can be provided at Family Recovery Center’s Lisbon office or at your business site. Family Recovery Center has 40 years of professional substance abuse assessment and treatment experience, and services are approved by the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation. Participating in a Drug Free Safety Program can lead to a discount in your workers’ compensation premiums.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimates that nearly 75 percent of all illicit drug users and most heavy alcohol users are employed full or part time. This situation results in major costs to businesses as they try to recruit and keep competent employees. Absenteeism, lower productivity, higher workers’ compensation costs, more accidents, and employee theft all cause significant costs to a business. American business loses up to $100 billion a year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Chris McGarry, director of safety at Ohio Pet Foods, Lisbon, reports, “Family Recovery Services did a great job training our supervisors and associates on the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse as it relates to their lives both in and out of the workplace. Their flexible scheduling allowed us to easily meet the annual training requirements needed to comply with BWC’s Drug Free Safety Program.” The most effective drug free safety programs are comprehensive approaches. Call 330-424-1468 to find out how Drug Free Workplace Solutions can be a part of your business solution.
SALEM — Simmers Crane Design and Services was established in 1958 in Canfield, Ohio, by Charles Simmers and was purchased by Pollock Research and Design in 1964, which retains ownership to this day. Strong growth brought the company to the Salem Industrial Park in 1996 and continued long term success required further expansion. In March of 2010 Simmers moved into the much larger facility next door at 1134 Salem Parkway, doubling the available square footage. “This is our 55th year,” said Randy L. Stull, president. “Our year over year employment numbers are slightly lower, but comparable to where we were at this time last year. Our current employment level is approximately 140.” “In regard to new products/services, our satellite operations continue to do very well. We currently have operations located in Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo, Milwaukee and Rock Island, Ill. We may consider a new satellite operation late 2013, early 2014, provided we are successful in establishing ourselves with a diverse set of customers in the targeted region(s) and are successful in recruiting the necessary leadership and technical talent,” said Stull. Simmers is now offering a comprehensive scope of fall protection equipment, including design and installation services to a variety of customers. “We backed into this segment out of the necessity to protect our own people while working in customer facilities. Many customers were impressed by the initiatives taken by Simmers and have requested our assistance to help them make their facilities safer, where work must be done high above floor level. “We are pleased with our
business levels in 2012, although they were relatively flat compared to our record setting year of 2011. Our business continues to focus on the primary metals (steel, aluminum and specialty alloys), power generation and heavy manufacturing. As many of our customers expanded operations, we were successful in capturing our share of their material handling investments. Shipments of new crane and hoist systems have grown approximately two fold over the past year and our repair/replacement parts business continues to improve annually, as customers appreciate both our responsiveness and attractive pricing levels.” “Looking back, we did experience a softening in activity during Q4-2012, which we attributed to shortterm political and economic uncertainties. However, our first quarter 2013 business has rebounded nicely, and we expect 2013 to be another solid year at Simmers.” “Our Buffalo and Erie operations had record setting years, serving the markets in which they operate. Milwaukee, Rock Island and Cleveland are progressing nicely. Salem’s operation expanded into a couple of new markets while supporting our many satellites. We recognize that our success is entirely attributable to the exceptional people in which we surround ourselves. We have been blessed in recruiting and retaining the right mix of talent at all levels of our organization.” “As I’ve stated in the past, our most significant challenges continue to be controlling our operation’s operating costs and finding additional talent. Navigating through the impact of health care reform will be quite interesting,” said Stull.

Gause Equipment GUILFORD LAKE — Gause Equipment Inc., state Route 172, is celebrating 57 years in business this year. It was in September 1956 that Charles “Chuck” Gause and Francis Richey founded the company, first known as Gause and Richey. Gause had been a salesman for O.S. Hill Co., of Lisbon, now of Calcutta, an International Harvester dealer, and when the company decided to give up the IH franchise, Gause secured it for his company, and the business was started. When Gause and Richey opened its door near Guilford Lake, the building was surrounded by corn fields. But just as the business grew out of the small original building, so did the lake’s population, turning corn fields into summer and or year-round homes. Pat Zehentbauer, daughter of Gause, remembers a grand opening that was held the next January, where the mud was so deep, tractors and wagons were used to haul people in and out of the driveway for the open house event. Zehentbauer still has pictures showing the muddy mess the weather caused. “We served pancakes and sausage to more than 450 people,” Zehentbauer recalls. Back then her grandfather, Harry Gause, slaughtered the hog and made fresh sausage. Most of the cooking and serving was handled by International Harvester Company representatives. According to Zehentbauer the 450 customers danced to the new Farmall tune at Gause and Richey the night of the open house. Two new International 350s were used to pull the chair-equipped wagons. Some of the tractors new that year were the Farmall 130 which sold for $1,719 and the Farmall 450 which was priced at $3,142. A comparable tractor to the Farmall 450 sells for some $22,000 today. In 1957, Gause, always busy with community service, started a country-wide 4-H Tractor Club. It turned out to be the largest such club in the state of Ohio. The program was dedicated to young boys and girls on Ohio farms. Club members were taught by Gause proper safety and maintenance, how to maneuver tractors and larger farm equipment. That year, the local club had 72 members, and Gause represented Ohio at the National 4-H Tractor Club Convention in Cadillac, Mich. Each year, members of the club competed in a tractor rodeo at the Columbiana County Fair. Young men showed off the driving and machine-operating skills Gause and their fathers taught them. The rodeo also consisted of a test to see what knowledge about tractor maintenance the young people had learned. Each had a project book relating to the
subject he or she had to complete. The name of the equipment company was changed to Gause Equipment Inc., when Richey passed away and his partnership in the business was purchased by Frank and Pat Zehentbauer. Gause, while still associated with the company, served as a Hanover Township trustee. When he became a Columbiana County commissioner, he sold his partnership in the business to the Zehentbauers. As a commissioner, Gause was instrumental in working with former Ohio Gov. James Rhodes to construct a bridge across the Ohio River in East Liverpool. Zehentbauer says she has pictures of her dad and Gov. Rhodes shaking hands over the completion of that bridge project. In 2010, Gause was inducted into the Columbiana County Agriculture Hall of Fame. According to Zehentbauer the company remains a family-owned business, with her son, Michael, becoming vicepresident in 2002. He and his wife, Rachel, have daughters Abby, Kelly and Mary; and a grandson, Henry Michael. Other children include Bob, Columbiana County Health Department’s director of public health emergency preparedness and owner of Eagle Pass Golf Course. His wife Marcy and children Lexi and Riley are also involved. Son John, who also was with United and living in San Francisco at the time of an earthquake, decided California was not for him, and he came back to Ohio. He was hired as avionics instructor at the Mahoning County Career Center, and has since become the school’s administrator. He and wife Mary Beth having three children, Brian, Ashley and Emily. Son Jim and his wife, Tamara, reside in Coronado, Calif., where he is a financial analyst. Their children are Kendra, Kelsey and Joe. Zehentbauer’s daughter Patti, is a teacher with the United Local School District. She and her husband, Kevin, have two children, Cassie and Dustin. Michael, who has been working at Gause Equipment since age 12, serves as parts and service manager. The only time period he was not employed at the firm was during his college years. Others who make up the 11 full-time employee staff are Mike Voytek, with the firm 24 years; Dave Strabala; Joe McKarns, 17 years; Marlan Mohler, sales, 20 years; Bill Cusick, service; and service technician Dillon Rhoades. With a degree in power equipment from OSU ATI, Rhoades is well qualified in the computer systems on all the new equipment. Amy Lutz is in the office. See GAUSE, Page 9B

Shale money boosts home and farm improvements, auto sales By CHRIS RAMBO Staff Writer
Over the last two years, the presence of shale drilling in Columbiana County has put some extra money into people’s pockets and local businesses have felt the effects. Nelson Witmer, President of Witmer’s Inc., which specializes in farm equipment and farm building construction, said he has seen business pick up noticeably over the past year and a half. “We have seen a nice increase in sales, and I can definitely attribute some of that to lease money that people have gotten as a result of shale drilling,” Witmer said. “Many of our customers are landowners who are looking to make upgrades that they haven’t been able to make in a while. It’s something that’s definitely come up in conversations that I’ve had with customers. In addition to farm equipment sales going up, Witmer said that his company has also seen an increase in construction jobs. “We’ve built a lot of farm

in Goshen Township has also seen his workload increase. “Business has been good for the last couple of years,” Price said. “I would say that last year it was without a doubt tied to shale money,” Price said. “This year, I think it’s more due to consumer confidence in the improved economy.” Price said that he has seen a steady increase in interior remodeling projects, while metal roofing and siding sales
have seen an even sharper increase. “Metal roofing and siding has gone crazy in the rural areas,” Price said. “Many people who had been holding back on making improvements now have some extra money to put into their homes.” Amy Brown of Crews Home Improvements in Wellsville said that overall sales have remained steady,

Data: Ohio may be stemming ‘brain drain’ By The Associated Press
DAYTON — A better economy and job prospects appear to be helping stem Ohio’s “brain drain” of young adults, according to a newspaper analysis of census data. Census numbers indicate that the state may finally have reversed the decades-long trend of losing young adults ages 20 to 34 to other states, The Dayton Daily News reported. The analysis found that the state lost more than 420,000 young adults between 1990 and 2010 — a drop of more than 16 percent. But from July 1, 2010, to July 2012, the state gained 42,562 people in that age range, a 2 percent increase. “There were often a lot of people who believed there weren’t good jobs available here,” Brett Visger, deputy chancellor of institutional collaboration for the Ohio Board of Regents, told the newspaper. “What is becoming clear is we really are moving to a place that has a lot of great opportunities, especially in the manufacturing sector and especially in jobs that aren’t going to go away and that need a great level of education,” he said. “People are understanding that you don’t need to look elsewhere.” Census numbers show that

Ariel Walker, assistant to the city manager for intergovernmental affairs for the City of Dayton, works in her office in Dayton. Originally from Pittsburgh, she studied at the University of Dayton and stayed in Dayton after she graduated. A better economy and job prospects appear to be helping stem Ohio’s “brain drain” of young adults, a newspaper analysis of census data showed.
just in the decade from 2000 to 2010, Ohio lost more than 65,000 young adults, a 2.9 percent drop. That decrease was second-worst in the nation, behind only Michigan. But in the following two years, Ohio regained almost two-thirds of that loss of young adults. Experts say Ohio needs more graduates with the skills employers say they require to fill jobs. While 35.5 percent of Ohioans have a college degree, 57 percent of jobs in the state will require that edu-
cation by 2018, according to the Lumina Foundation and the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce. “Probably the most important thing is that we get more of our students to get a degree in the first place,” Ohio Chancellor John Carey said. “When we build a strong economy and create more opportunities, then I think we’ll increase the number of graduates who are wanting to stay in Ohio.” Gov. John Kasich said getting people to stay in Ohio or

EAST PALESTINE — For two decades Elder Ag & Turf Equipment Co. has been selling tractors, other agricultural equipment and parts from its state Route 14 location. The company also operates out of Stoneboro, Pa. in Mercer County where it has been a staple for 60 years. Owners C.H. McCutcheon, Harry M. Elder Sr. and Harry M. Elder Jr. have seen an increase in the sale of tractors and utility vehicles since the Marcellus and Utica Shale drilling boom has taken effect. To address this increase in sales, Elder’s has added additional inventory for immediate delivery. They are also predicting a possible increase in the demand for new equipment as land owners began to
receive royalties. The possible demand increase may also be spurred by the continued construction of the processing plant in Kensington or from the ongoing pipeline work. Elder Ag & Turf is constantly monitoring both equipment activity, gas drilling and production in order to better predict future demands. Employees, which total 20 at the East Palestine location, also stay in contact in customers to help determine what is needed. Growth is also in the forecast with Elder Ag & Turf with additional lines being considered. To see what Elder’s offer visit either the East Palestine or Stoneboro, Pa. location. Interested buyers can also call 330-426-2166 or visit www.elderequipment.com.

1st National Community Bank 8B
EAST LIVERPOOL— 2012 was a year of significant achievement for 1st National Community Bank headquartered in East Liverpool. 1st Bank provides financial services to the tristate area with branches in East Liverpool, Calcutta and Lisbon as well as Midland, Pa. and New Cumberland, W.Va. 1st Bank’s success was aided by the local economy which continued the improvement started in 2011. Unemployment in Columbiana County showed marked improvement dropping from 8.8 percent at the beginning of the year to 7.3 percent when last reported in November. Housing sales in the county also increased during the year. These improvements were sparked by the initial impact of the Utica shale gas play. Taking advantage of the improved economic environment and focused execution of its strategic initiatives, earnings for 2012 were $987,357. “2012 earnings represent a 14.4 percent improvement over 2012 and are an all-time high. They are a result of the efforts of all our employees working to help our customers meet their financial needs,” said Stephen R. Sant, president/CEO. A major component of the improved earnings was the continuing improvement in the bank’s asset quality as evidenced by significantly lower net charge offs and non-performing assets which led to a reduction in the Allowance for Loan Loss expense. This reduction helped offset lower service fees on deposit accounts which continue to be negatively impacted by increased government regulation and

expense increases associated with complying with new consumer regulations due to Dodd Frank. Net interest income was relatively the same year over year. “We are pleased with asset growth during the year of 4.5 percent. An important part of this growth was our very respectable 2.0 percent increase in loans,” Sant added. A major highlight of 2012 was the celebration of the bank’s 25-year anniversary. The activities started at the company’s annual meeting in May with special recognition of the founding directors and employees, followed by an overview of the bank’s accomplishments over the 25 years. The celebration continued for most of the year with a month of Friday customer appreciation open houses at all the branches, loan specials
and other activities. 1st Bank’s record earnings, along with excellent earnings by their affiliates, MDH Investment Management Inc., Gateminder Corporation and Cooper Insurance Agency Inc., allowed their holding company, Tri-State 1st Bank to give it’s common stock shareholders a special $.05 a share dividend at year end on top of the regular dividend for the year of $.20 a share. This was the second consecutive year a special $.05 dividend was paid. Charles B. Lang, president/CEO of Tri-State retired in 2012 and was replaced by Stephen R. Sant who also serves as president/CEO of 1st National Community Bank. Mr. Lang was a founding director of the bank and served as its first President/CEO. “We are excited about our
prospects in 2013. The local economy should continue to improve thanks to the positive impact of the shale activities. This activity will provide additional opportunities for us to provide for the financial needs of our communities,” President Sant reports. 1st Bank is in the process of revamping 1st Community Investment Services which provides the sale of investment products through the bank’s branches. The improved structure will allow investment representatives significantly more time to be in the branches to meet with customers. It is also anticipated that the continuing improvement in the economy will provide additional lending opportunities helping sustain the loan growth experienced in 2012.

Weirton Medical Center

Morning Journal
In a short period of time, Weirton Medical Center has emerged as the local leader in healthcare. Financially-speaking, the hospital is making a remarkable comeback, but that is just the beginning of the new story of Weirton Medical Center. There’s a new commitment to excellence at WMC. The hospital is pushing harder than ever to acquire the best physicians while offering new services and procedures, all while taking an aggressive approach to acquiring the highest technology available to help patients live a longer, better life. WMC’s mission, coupled with highly qualified and compassionate nurses and hospital staff dedicated to the patient’s health, is what WMC is all about. Since this time last year, the hospital has welcomed well over 30 new physicians to the WMC team and dozens of new services and new procedures to serve the healthcare needs of our community. WMC has dedicated millions of dollars over a matter of months to the health of women and children in the Weirton-Steubenville-Route 22 Corridor area. Including the major investment of the daVinci Surgical Robot which aids in rapid recovery after gynecologic, general and urological surgeries. With the addition of Jefferson County native, Carol Slomski, MD, WMC is providing women with the only local surgeon dedicated exclusively to breast surgery. Dr. Slomski brings years of experience with her in the field of breast surgery and procedures not performed locally by any other surgeon. With the new WMC Breastcare Team, WMC has assembled the a world class team of physicians, including Slomski, radiologist Dr. Eric Balzano, surgeons, Dr. John Mitchell and Dr. Venkata Kella; pathologist Dr. Lisa Brancazio, mammography technologists and radiology nurses to provide a comprehensive, stream-lined approach to
timely diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. That team is now armed with the latest in 3D mammography technology in the fight against breast cancer with the addition of Breast Tomosynthesis, which is key in finding smaller cancer cells sooner and giving more accurate description of mammography reports, resulting in fewer needless call-backs for additional testing. This state-of-the-art technology is what you would find in major cities in the United States. WMC is very excited about the addition of Weirton native, Tina Cutone, MD and Rachel Gilman, MD to the hospital’s growing roster of the finest physicians, along with Kelly Devoogd, DO OB/GYN. These leading OB/GYN physicians will soon be opening a new All About Women Suite in the WMC Medical Office Building. The doctors, along with their physician assistant, Erin Wallace, will be welcoming additional OB/GYN physicians on board to complement their services. They, along with WMC leadership, have worked feverishly to bring a first to this market with the addition of services for highrisk pregnancies. The highrisk services will combine new technology and specialized medical staff to help expectant mothers who were sent to larger cities like Pittsburgh for consultations before now. The WMC services will change that, as consultations with experienced perinatologists (high-risk OB physicians) will now be available on-site. In addition to offering premiere OB services to expectant mothers, WMC OB/GYNs are leading the way in gynecological procedures. Specifically, Dr. Tina Cutone is currently the only Weirton OB/GYN offering the InterStim therapy for female incontinence. Her patients have experienced overwhelming success with the therapy and Dr. Cutone is very excited with the results to date.
It’s a new day at Weirton Medical Center.
Seeing a void in the area of gastroenterology services in the market, WMC has taken an aggressive approach to add experienced GI physicians Dr. Nitesh Ratnakar, Dr. Daniel Shats and Dr. George Goetz to the medical staff to complement the services of long-serving gastroenterologist Dr. Amandeep Purewal. Now colonoscopy and endoscopy procedures are scheduled quicker so patients have less wait. Also in recent weeks, neurosurgeon, Dr. Patrick Flannagan began seeing patients at WMC, providing greater convenience to those who once had to travel to neurosurgery specialists. WMC’s Joint Care Team is touting major growth too. The program, lead by orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Gurdev Purewal, Dr. Steven Alatis, and Dr. Charles Capito is now implementing a home assessment before a patient’s joint replacement. Weirton Medical Center’s home health physical therapists now make pre-surgical visits to assess a patient’s home to determine temporary changes needed within their environment. This is done so physical therapy can occur in the comfort of the home a few days after sur-
gery instead of several days or even weeks later. During these initial meetings, hospital physical therapists also discuss WMC’s Acute Pain Management Program with the patient. The program has proven to decrease a patient’s post-operative pain, on average, by 80-90 percent. This allows the patient to participate in a more aggressive post-operative PT regimen, which will facilitate a quicker discharge to home. The physical therapists that make those initial home visits are then assigned to the patient in order to develop a good report which can result in greater recovery. When it comes to life’s big and little emergencies, WMC Emergency Department is leading the way with a faster, all-around better, ER experience for the patient. In recent weeks, WMC has implemented triage units within the ER so a patient’s wait is a mere matter of minutes before they see a physician. In fact, WMC’s average wait time, since the implementation of the triage unit, is only 12 minutes. So not only is the WMC ER fast, but more importantly, it’s backed by an entire staff of physicians,
nurses and support professionals and high technology equipment you won’t find in local quick-stop medical shops. In recent weeks, WMC opened its brand new Chest Pain Center which has quickly become the gold standard in chest pain evaluation in the area. The Chest Pain Center quickly determines the plan of action for the patient, making it easier on all involved. The Chest Pain Center isn’t the only new addition to the hospital. On July 1, 2013, the WMC Inpatient Rehab Center opened for those requiring intensive rehabilitation. The brand new section provides a specialized staff and exquisite accommodations for the patient needing a minimum of three hours of rehabilitation, five days a week. Physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists are on staff to make the process back on the road to recovery a successful one. To learn more about these programs or any of the services offered by Weirton Medical Center, please call the WMC Office of Communications at 304797-6325.

History 1968 - Company founded by Don and Dolly Campbell in the basement of their West Point home. At the time Don was the only installer and salesperson, so Dolly and their kids ran the store from the family home. 1971 - Relocated the company to a warehouse in Lisbon. Soon thereafter they built a health club in Lisbon, with, of course, an indoor pool. (The building is currently occupied by Columbiana County Health Department.) 1972 - Relocated the business to its current location on
state Route 45, just 4 miles South of Carter Lumber. 1973 - Don began work on the pool park. The first year there were only two fully functional inground swimming pools on display. 1974 - A new additional showroom was added to the pool business. 1980 - The grocery store was established in another addition. 1981 - Summer Fun began displaying and selling spas and hot tubs. 1985 - The Campbell family began an additional business which was a national video company within the same building. The second story was added for the video business. Throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s and even to present, the pool park has been an ever changing and expanding asset. 2006 - Summer Fun began selling infrared heaters for people’s homes during the winter months. 2009 - We lost our beloved father and founder of Summer Fun Pools, Campbell’s Grocery and Fun Video Systems to cancer on April 22. 2009 - Dolly decided to

Kitchen Solution Co. July 14, 2013
COLUMBIANA — Opening in 1996, The Kitchen Solution Co., 8 S. Main St., provides area residents with all their kitchen design and installation needs. Like most area businesses, the Marcellus and Utica Shale drilling boom has been beneficial. “We have been blessed to have been involved in quite a few projects in the last year or so, that were spurred by the initial funds freed up by the gas/oil contracts. It has been a real treat to see these real ‘Salt of the Earth’ families be able to invest back into their homes. Growing up in a bit of a farm community, I’ve personally seen the sacrifices these families have made over the years to keep the family farm and to now see this same land give back to improves these families homes and lives is rewarding,” said owner Dan Slagle. Slagle has also attempted to become a more visible business and keep up with the trends. “We’ve always had a great growth from client referrals and will always feel that is the best way to do business. But we’ve also increased our marketing budget to bring in clients that may have never remodeled and just want to do business with a company that has a proven track record. So, our internet presence has been increased in 2013 to make us easier to find.” “With the advent of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets, the con-
sumer has information at their fingertips. This results in the most informed consumer the market has ever seen. So as a business owner you have to keep up with the trends and desires of an ever changing and progressive client that know what they are looking for, and want to do business with like minded people.” By becoming more visible and staying current, Slagle has continued to improve the business he started at age 21. “I dedicated myself to not resting or calling anything ‘good enough.’ We strive to have the best. The best materials, the best design, the best craftsmanship. Small things like using the best tile underlayment in the industry wouldn’t matter to some, but it matters to us, it’s part of the fiber of what we do. As a business owner, I want to have our clients become part of our family and be proud to have their project done by us.” As 2013 continues on, Slagle is planning to showcase the company’s design work more nationally. “In 2013 we were chosen in the top three percent of the country for our design work and customer service by Houzz.com, a national home design website. We’ve always been grateful for our clients but to have been ranked as elite has been a big thrill for us. So, this year we are focused on putting the finishing touches on the design studio in downtown Columbiana and taking care of our clients.

Witmer’s Inc., which specializes in farm equipment and farm building construction, has seen business pick up noticeably over the past year and a half.

but several of her family’s customers have cited shale money as the reason they are making upgrades. “We’re a small business that has a lot of repeat customers,” Brown said. “I know a lot of the people that have used us say they got their money from gas drilling. It seems like home improvements are a priority for a lot of people who receive this money.” As for local auto sales, Tom Brittain of Brittain Motors in East Palestine said that his dealership was not as affected as those in the construction and home improvement industry, but he nonetheless noticed a modest bump in sales. “It seems that many peo-
ple have used their money for house and farm upgrades,” Brittain said. “I would say we fall in line somewhere behind that, but we’ve still seen an increase.” Brittain estimated that 70 percent of the sales increase has involved people buying trucks. “We’ve seen a lot of people buy new trucks for their farms, and also some people trading older vehicles in,” Brittain said. “It’s brought a lot of people to our store who are feeling a little more comfortable financially. Not only has the shale drilling given people some extra money, but it’s also provided jobs. I think it’s been the shot in the arm that this county has needed.”
LEASES Continued from Page 2B
help them with,” he said. Only last year the company made space in the building on South Main Street for a conference room to accommodate families coming in specifically to discuss what to do with their shale money. The families usually bring their certified public attorneys and go over the options to determine the best place for their assets, he said. “I think it’s a pretty unique dynamic. You see all walks of life receiving shale money,” he said. “This area really seems to be benefiting from it, that’s for sure.” Hack worries some landowners may not be aware of the pitfalls of leasing rev-
enue, however. “The thing that frightens me is the potential a lot of people are having in terms of fraud ... people trying to take advantage of them,” he said. One of his clients told him she received a call from someone claiming to be her relative in Kentucky who needed money because their house had just been foreclosed on. Luckily, the woman recognized the scam. Hack said people who sign oil and gas contracts should have a personal attorney available. “Some of these contracts are the biggest contracts they will ever be engaged in their entire lives,” he said. kschwendeman@mojonews.com

Frank Hierro, Mahoning Valley Regional president. “In May 2013, Huntington introduced its new Commercial Card featuring payables automation and monthly rebates.” Huntington is making it easier for businesses to save money each month by streamlining invoice and expense payment workflow processes using the new Huntington commercial credit card. The card combines online card and data management tools and differs significantly from other commercial
cards by providing a unique monthly rebate payment. Huntington’s new commercial card will help enable businesses to improve working capital, streamline corporate invoicing and mitigate financial risk. Our business customers will also find that the commercial card makes it easier for them to manage their finances since they will be able to do their banking with one, local financial institution, where they know their bankers. www.huntington.com

County port authority plans continue to take shape By TOM GIAMBRONI Staff Writer
LISBON — The Columbiana County Port Authority’s riverfront industrial park in Wellsville continued to take off during the past year, thanks in large part to the oil and natural gas boom underway in the region. In July 2012, the port authority entered into a memorandum of understanding to sell 3.6 acres at the industrial park to Marathon Petroleum as part of the company’s proposed expansion. Marathon operates a storage tank/transfer facility next to the 3.6 acres and wants to expand to take advantage of the increased oil and gas activity. The land sale was approved in
January, with Marathon agreeing to pay the port authority $2.4 million. In October, Marathon announced the project was being undertaken as a joint venture with the Harvest Pipeline Co., an affiliate of Hilcorp Energy, a leading oil and gas producer that is active in Ohio’s Utica shale play. When completed by the end of this year, the Marathon/Harvest facility will be capable of unloading 24,000 barrels per day from trucks, with the terminal able to load up to 50,000 barrels per day onto barges bound for refineries. In November, another tenant at the industrial park — Anchor Drilling Fluids USA Inc. announced its operation was officially up and running. The nation’s largest drilling
fluids company, Anchor joined with tenant Cimbar Performance Minerals on a $10.3 million project to produce drilling fluids for the gas industry. The project calls for construction of 12,000-square-foot plant on five acres that is expected to eventually employ 10 to 15 workers, as well as 20 to 30 field engineers. Cimbar already employs about 30 workers. There was also some positive activity at the port authority’s other industrial park in Leetonia, where tenant Consol Energy announced in November it was expanding operations by leasing an additional 2,610 square feet. This brings to 12,610 square feet under lease to CNX Gas, which is Consol’s gas division. The same month, the port author-

ity agreed to seek state funding to determine the extent of contamination at a former riverfront terminal in East Liverpool. The property is the former North Star Coal, and Jim and Gary McClurg, who own Seaforth Minerals next door, are leasing the North Star property and
plan to eventually purchase it once any potential contamination is determined and cleaned up. The port authority will seek money available through Ohio’s Clean Assistance Program to determine if See PORT, Page 5C

Since the subprime mortgage crisis began in September 2008, offering a foundation for the late-2000s recession, many have looked for a means to rebuild the local housing market. For Columbiana County, a large part of that process has depended on the growing natural gas and oil industries. According to data released by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the county has received more than 70 permits for well sites since mid-2010, with the most recent permit being given to a well in Franklin Township on June 28. Five of those wells came on-line in 2012, where they produced more than 130,000 MCFs of natural gas and 24,000 barrels of oil. With large companies such as Chesapeake Energy expanding into the Utica shale of eastern Ohio, bringing long-term workers and potential leases for existing homeowners, some have wondered if the groundwork for lasting growth within the housing market has been established. “What I have noticed in Columbiana County,” said Betty Belding, a real estate agent for Gallagher Realty in Columbiana, “is the uncertainty of how it is going to affect us. Sellers are keeping their mineral rights, while the buyers of these properties are concerned with the lease agreement and how it affects them.” Belding, who has worked in local real estate for 25 years, notes that farmers who have received leases on their land have often used those signing bonuses to buy more ground at high prices so that they have more room to farm. Shale companies have also bought lower priced homes, fixed them up and rented them to their workers. “Most of the workers seem to be temporary workers and have not bought homes here,” Belding said. Others have noted that while shale workers may not become permanent residents of Columbiana County, the shale industry still provides substantial growth by increasing local business traffic and supplying high-paying jobs. “The influx of new jobs, related businesses and cash payments to landowners for oil and gas leasing will continue to improve our local economy for years to come,” said Charley Althof, president-elect of the Columbiana County Association of Realtors. According to Althof, sales of homes in Ohio has increased for 25 consecutive months. Recently, historically low mortgage rates have
optimistic that the shale industry will have a positive impact on the real estate industry in our area.” CHARLEY ALTHOF
appeared, dropping to a fixed 3.5 percent over 30 years. While the rate has now increased to slightly over 4 percent, Althof declares that today is a buying market. “There is a growing consumer confidence that the housing market is back on track,” Althof said. Issues such as environmental concerns have been cited as potential barriers for interested buyers. While noting the difficulties of providing a safe environment for permanent residents, both during drilling and after it is completed, Althof believes that companies do proper exploration to avoid mistakes. “Of course, concerns about the environment impact will have to be addressed appropriately,” Althof said. “Title companies have a substantial challenge in researching up to 150 years for the existence of previous oil and gas leases on the property.” However, questions remain about how significant of an impact the oil and gas industries will have on the local housing market. “I feel the changes affecting the housing market is down the road, that we have not seen much of it yet,” Belding said. “We see a lot of landowners building new barns, adding onto their homes and buying new equipment. Companies who supply the shale folks with products, restaurants and other merchants have seen businesses prospering. All that has helped Columbiana County, but we have been told the future will be so much better.” While the future may not be entirely clear, the present day housing market appears to be going strong. Real estate sales from January to May 2013 increased 15.8 percent compared to a year ago. In addition, the average sale price of a home in Ohio has increased to $133,747. “Overall, I’m optimistic that the shale industry will have a positive impact on the real estate industry in our area,” Althof said.

Salem Computer Center owner Frank Zamarelli waits on one of his many loyal customers, Carol Rueth of North Benton. The business, located in the historic Salem Drug Building on Second Street in Salem, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
Salem Computer Center SALEM — When Frank Zamarelli was young, his father taught him “do good at your vocation and give back to your community.” Zamarelli has managed to do both as the owner and operator of the Salem Computer Center the past 25 years and he’s thankful for the continued support of his customers. “The Salem community has been outstanding,” he said. “We’ve been very fortunate.” He framed the first dollar he ever made from his first customer, Mark Sabatino, when the store first opened in the Broadway Plaza on June 6, 1988. When the store relocated to the historic Salem Drug building at 409 E. Second St. in Sept. 2009, Sabatino was the first customer again—Zamarelli has that dollar, too. “It’s been a roller coaster ride, but the coolest thing about it is being able to prosper and have a business in the community where I live,” he said. His interest in computers began in high school and was encouraged by his math teacher, Carl Bevington, who told him about a personal computer being sold that his dad surprised him with at Christmas. He went on to Youngstown State University where he majored in business and minored in computer technology. His first job was working for a computer company in Youngstown, but he quit there in December 1987, borrowed money from an aunt, took a gamble and opened the

He recalled selling the Commodore 64 back then and joked that some of the people who work for him now are younger than the equipment he sold in the beginning. “In this business, your technology windows are about six months. You can either jump on the train and ride it or watch it go by. Customers expect the newest and the best,” he said. Salem Computer Center deals in Windows-based personal computers, both notebooks and desktops, besides selling peripherals and accessories. Some of the brand names include Hewlett Packard, Cisco, Acer, Lenovo, Samsung, ASUS and
Gateway. Trade-ins are welcome if in good condition and can be refurbished and resold. Zamarelli said he won’t sell anything he wouldn’t use himself. SCC has a full-service department with a full-time service manager and service technicians who do nothing but work on computers.

Adamson Veterinary Services SALEM— The doctors and staff at Adamson Veterinary Services continue to move forward in their service to the Salem community, embracing ever-evolving medical practices and technology. The change embraced by the facility should not generate a fear of uncertainty for community members, though, according to Ryan Boyce, practice manager.” Change must not be avoided, rather methodically planned so that the consequences are predictable, productive and positively effective,” he said. “We feel that is what we achieve here at Adamson Veterinary Services.”

Adamson Veterinary Services is located at 375 W. State St. in Salem. Hours are 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday; and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Doctors are on call 24 hours a day for established clients.
Over the past year, the facility has invested in new technology to better serve the community as well as local veterinarians. The addition of new equipment includes an intensive care unit (ICU), digital radiography (including dental x-rays) and an IV fluid and blanket warmer. “There is a direct correlation between changes within technology and that of changes within the practice of medicine,” he explained. “It’s a correlation that we feel must be kept at par or better to be of service for the community. All of these advanced pieces of equipment enable our doctors and staff to better practice medicine.” In addition to the new technology at the facility, the staff continues to keep pace with medical advances that
help the facility maintain its commitment to the best possible medical treatment, Boyce said. “Our doctors not only stay current in their licensure, but they do their own research here to keep up with medical advances,” he said. “We believe that the best care for the patient is having it there for them. We don’t want to have to send them 45 minutes away as long as we have the feasible means of providing the best medicine and service for them. Sometimes 45 minutes is just too late.” Boyce said staff members at Adamson Veterinary Services are dedicated to their patients because they know what it is like with their own pets.

J. Sabatini Shoes employees include, from left, Taylor Burbick, Mike Sabatini, Jim Sabatini II and Chelsey Kampfer.
History... James Sabatini Sr. was born in Ambridge, Pa. and began his shoe selling career in the late 1950s working for a shoe chain named S&S Shoes, a chain of about 50 stores. Managing for eight years and promoted to supervisor, Mr. Sabatini was in charge of all operations in the tri-state area, including the East Liverpool location. Driven by the entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. Sabatini left S&S Shoes after 16 years and opened his very own store in 1972 called the Shoe Place in Zelienople, Pa.. Due to his efforts and the success of his business, Mr. Sabatini bought out his competition and opened a second store called the Town Bootery in 1980. Growing his business even further, Mr. Sabatini began looking for a third location. His searching led him back to Ohio, and in 1988 he opened his third location call

Happily married to his wife, Judy, and the father of two boys and one girl, five grandchildren, and a lifetime of experience, Mr. Sabatini enjoys the same drive and spirit that inspired him to open his own business 40 years ago. James Sabatini II, also born in Ambridge, Pa. is the oldest of the three children. Always fascinated by the art of selling, the rewards it can bring, and the opportunity to meeting new people, Sabatini II began his selling career at the tender age of 11. He began by selling greeting cards door to door, then delivering newspapers for the largest local route of the Beaver County Times six days a week. See SABATINI, Page 6C

In March, a port authority success story took flight when the board transferred ownership of the former Eljer’s Plumbingware plant in Salem to Salem Logistics LLC, nearly six years after taking possession of the closed factory to keep it from laying dormant until any possible industrial contamination issues were addressed. Salem Logistics put up the $250,000 to purchase the facility but leased it from the port authority until learning there were no significant environmental issues that needed remediated. The port authority in May brokered a deal that will result in the Buckeye Water District supplying water for oil and gas drilling operations in eastern Carroll County. A company on retainer to the port authority learned a subsidiary of Rex Energy was looking for a water supply for its drilling operation in Carroll County. The port authority was alerted and put together the deal for BWD to be the supplier. After yet another deal to sell its railroad fell through, the port authority quickly found another potential buyer in Aqua Instructure, which in February entered into a nonbinding letter of intent to acquire the railway for $3 million. The deal was supposed to be consummated by June 30 but is taking a little longer to complete. Aqua wants to use the railroad right-of-way to run water lines to oil and gas drilling sites along the 36mile railway, which runs from Darlington, Pa., to Boardman.

EAST LIVERPOOL— Heritage Thermal Services is celebrating 20 years of operations in East Liverpool’s East End. The company, incinerator for the Indianapolis-based Heritage Environmental Services, transports and disposes of hazardous and nonhazardous materials from a variety of industries. Disposal is done through a rotary kiln incineration process where temperatures reach anywhere from 1,800 to 1,950 degrees. “We rely on the heat value of the waste to maintain the temperature in the kiln,” said John Avdellas, vice president of sales and marketing. With 185 full-time employees, the company, 1250 St. George St., processes about 60,000 tons of hazardous and non-hazardous waste a year. Most of the waste comes from chemical manufacturers, refineries, the health care industry, colleges and universities, and the pharmaceutical industry. The latter is a more recent development, involving the disposal of Schedule I-V controlled substances regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Avdellas said. As a result, Heritage employees now must receive DEA clearance. “We have to diversify to maintain our level of business,” Avdellas said. Itself heavily regulated by state and federal environmental authorities, Heritage is the result of environmental regu-

dous, faithful customers. They’ve supported us. Sometimes they just stop by to chat,” he said. “A lot of people go into just consulting in this business, but to me, I can’t do that. I love the customers.” SCC has four full-time employees and three parttime employees. Zamarelli said he believes in having a good support system after the sale, with four phone lines coming into the business at 330-332-2201. When a customer calls, they’re talking to someone at SCC, not some call center in another country. “We try to give people a good value for their money and the best support we can offer,” he said. Besides computers and repairs, SCC offers data backup and recovery, computer forms and lots of accessories, including 40 to 50 different types of ink cartridges. Equipment can be special-ordered and over 150,000 items can be in the store for pickup within a twoday span. For the past nine years, SCC has offered a full eBay

lations dating back to the 1970s. Congress passed the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 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. Later name changes—to Heritage-WTI and Heritage Thermal Services—reflect the changing nature of the industry, Avdellas said. “It captures the core of our business, which is treating materials through high temperature incineration,” he said.

are transported by tanker, roll-off and container trucks and are brought from as far away as Puerto Rico. “We take it off the trucks and process it within 24 hours,” Avdellas said. Heritage also has the capacity to store materials on-site. The company’s permit allows it to store up to 510,000 gallons in its drumprocessing building, 284,000 gallons of liquid waste on its enclosed tank farm, and 1,500 cubic yards of solid waste in two enclosed hoppers. Through strict emissions controls, Heritage manages the emissions that result from incinerating the waste at high temperatures. Heritage keeps rigorous records on the materials that it accepts—and even materials it cannot
accept. “There are materials we bring in that we know we cannot process here, and we ship them out to more appropriate third-party facilities,” Avdellas said. The last year has seen the company put an extra emphasis on worker safety and “green” initiatives such as inhouse recycling. Heritage also sponsors the annual CitySweep event, which encourages East Liverpool residents to collect and dispose of household hazardous waste. Since 1997, 100 tons of household waste—everything from old electronics to household chemicals—have been collected. This year’s CitySweep was held on April 20.
SABATINI Continued from Page 5C
Living in Hopewell, Pa., Sabatini II began working in the summer of 1974 in his dad’s new shoe store. Traveling back and forth from Hopewell to Zelienople, Sabatini II began learning the business from his dad and the skill and effort it takes to learn the trade. Their long talks and travels were a great experience for this young man. In 1980, Sabatini II began managing his dad’s second store and fine tuned his skills even further, learning about buying, advertising and budgeting. When his dad opened their third store at Ogilvie Square, Sabatini II devoted all his attention to their new venture and surroundings. Also happily married, Sabatini II and his wife, Joyce, are the proud parents of three children. Now, 35 years after their first rides to the family business together, father and son are still working as a team at J. Sabatini Shoes. Sabatini II still enjoys working with his father who inspired him as a
young boy to follow in his footsteps. Today... J. Sabatini Shoes is still growing and successful, servicing their customers in their newest location, located in the Dunham’s Plaza (old Hills Plaza) off of state Route 172, Calcutta. “We will always offer sizes and widths in our store measuring and fitting each customer,” says Jim Sabatini II. “We carry famous brands like Red Wing, SAS, New Balance, Nike, Timberland, Clarks, Mercell, Flurshiem and more. We are always adding and expanding.” “Dad and I would like to thank all of our customers for their loyalty and support for all of these years. I look forward to the next generation coming into the business as my children are beginning to learn the trade,” said Sabatini II. “With the promising outlook of the gas and oil industry in our area we are thankful and optimistic for the future. We look forward to the next chapter of our business.”

Work on Midstream plant continues on schedule By KATIE SCHWENDEMAN Staff Writer
KENSINGTON — Work on the natural gas collection and processing facility under construction in the southwest corner of the county continues on schedule, company officials say. Construction of the Kensington plant located on 170-acres between state Route 644 and Tunnel Hill Road began Nov. 5 of last year, and once completed, the plant will handle 600 million cubic feet of natural gas a day. It has been hailed as the key element in the $900 million Utica East Ohio project. The plant itself accounts for roughly $400 million of the entire project, with the remainder being the fractionation plant in Harrison County. The Kensington Plant is an M3 Midstream project, in a joint venture with Access Midstream Partners and EV Energy Partners. The company is solely focused on liquids extraction, and the local operation includes a cryogenic processing facility that will extract natural gas liquids, which can include propane, butane and ethane, from the shale gas. A 160-foot-tall cryogenic tower will be tied into gathering systems to collect gas from wells in Carroll County and also to collect gas from connector lines that will be installed for shale gas coming from Columbiana County wells.
Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer
The first of three demethanizer towers at the cryogenic gas processing plant near Kensington is lifted into place.
Once collected, the tower will cut the natural gas liquids out by dropping temperatures to minus 150 degrees, causing the pure gas to rise to the top of the tower. The natural gas liquids will then be transported across Carroll County to the fractionation plant near Scio in Harrison County. There, the propane, butane, ethane and natural gasoline are separated from one another to be sold to end users. The hundreds of miles of pipelines to collect the shale gas have been cropping up in areas around the county, and Midstream said this week the project is continuing on schedule, with the initial phase now in the final stages of construction. The project has three phases, which John has described as “trains” of gathering pipelines into larger lines that feed the plant.
Each phase will be able to process 200 million cubic feet of natural gas. A statement released by the company said it is expecting to commission the two facilities and pipelines systems in the near future, including the initial phase of 200 million cubic feet of cryogenic processing and associated fractionation. The Kensington Plant is powered by a substation constructed there by Ohio Edison and it feeds the plant’s 5,000-horsepower electrical-driven compressors. The plant is the first of its kind in Columbiana County, but certainly not the first for Ohio. The Utica East Ohio has a plant planned for Leesville in Carroll County, and Pennant Midstream has a second $300 million cryogenic gas-processing plant taking shape in the Mahoning Valley.
Ex-Baard project unchanged authority for the money it spent in helping acquiring three of the 17 properties. In exchange for agreeing in 2011 to switch from coal to natural gas, two environmental activist groups agreed to drop their appeals challenging permits issued for the original Baard project by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Mike Settles of the OEPA told the Morning Journal the permits were transferred to Pallas but the company let the air permit expire in March. The project’s state wastewater discharge permit expires Aug. 31, and the company has yet to apply for its renewal. The Corps of Engineer and OEPA issued wetlands/stream impact permits for the project, and those expire Dec. 31. As part of the settlement agreement with the environmental groups, Pallas must file annual status reports with the Environmental Review Appeals Commission, an independent state agency that reviews appeals of OEPA decisions. The most recent status report was filed May 6, and the attorneys for Pallas indicated the company “continues to work on remaining preconditions to being able to finalize all issues for a permit modification, including working diligently to select the exact natural gas conversion technology for the facility and working to finalize whether to self produce or purchase oxygen feedstock and to establish the logistics of supply of natural gas for the facility ...,” they wrote.

LISBON — In the fall of 2011, Planck Investments acquired controlling interest in the former Baard Energy project, with the stated intention of moving forward with development of a multi-billion dollar synthetic fuel plant. More than 18 months later, not much has been heard from the company on the status of those efforts, which means not much has changed since Baard first announced in 2006 it intended to build a $6 billion plant outside Wellsville that would convert coal into synthetic diesel and jet fuel. The project ran into a number of obstacles, the most significant being the lack of investors. Planck entered the picture in 2010, pledging money to help complete the property acquisition. By the following October, after acquiring controlling interest in the project, Planck announced natural gas would replace coal as the feedstock used to produce synthetic fuels and formed a new company for the project, Pallas Formed Fuels. And that was the last anyone heard it. “There’s nothing going on,” said Columbiana County Port Authority Chief Executive Office Tracy Drake, who was instrumental in securing the options to purchase the property for the project. Stephan Dopuch, vice president of development for Baard who now serves in the same capacity for Pallas, could not be reached for comment. Planck/Pallas has acquired about 400 acres in Yellow Creek Township, although Drake said the company has yet to fully reimburse the port

Jobs and Family Services has a new place to call home By DEANNE JOHNSON Staff Writer
LISBON — Long overdue, the county opened a new building last year where Jobs and Family Services, the Board of Elections and the Veterans Administration, along with other partnering organizations are finding the space they have needed. Eileen Dray-Bardon, director of Jobs and Family Services, said the new building gives the department’s 120 employees not only the space they need, but also the confidentiality demanded by their department. The department offers three services — public assistance, child support and children services — departments which are interrelated, yet require the employees to keep infor-
mation confidential. In the past, there were always concerns about people coming into the building, a lack of security and chances of people overhearing something because employees desks were crammed into small spaces. “We were like sardines,” DrayBardon said. Now with the new building, not only are the three departments able to function better, employees take pride in their workspaces. The old desks had little storage with things piled on them. It made it difficult for employees to find what they needed in short order. A conference room allows 120 employees to be brought in for a staff meeting to learn information at
the same time. Others in the building and the community also have been able to use the space. The Ohio State University Extension, which operates the 4-H program, has utilized it for meetings and conferences, she said. So has the Education Service Center and the Western Reserve Land Foundation. Dray-Bardon said the new facility has visitation rooms for parents visiting their children through Children Services. This has allowed the department to part from outlying buildings like the Kyes Home in East Palestine. Employees do not always need to drive for the visits, making it more productive. The other organizations in the building have one person to contact

to handle all the maintenance issues in the building, which Dray-Bardon said makes things run smoother. “The flow is just very good here,” she said of the overall new building. “It’s a nice facility, and we’re proud of it.” Jobs and Family Services had been asked to make the old building, which was once a grocery store, a temporary home in 1976 following

Columbiana County Fair
LISBON — Whether it’s late July or early August, the Columbiana County Fair seems to draw county and non-county residents alike out of the air-conditioning and into the summer heat. While walking through the heat, fairgoers are treated to the smell of freshly deep fried french fries and corndogs, the sweet aroma of freshly spun cotton candy and just dipped caramel apples. All of these smells mingle with the daily sights of animal shows, musical performances, derbies, tractor pulls and the delighted screams of Ferris wheel riders. The history of the Columbiana County Fair begins in 1845 when county residents joined together to promote interest in scientific farming practices, thus creating the Columbiana County Agricultural Society. With the society in place, the first county fair was held in a vacant lot adjacent to Lisbon’s planing mill, across from Thomas & Sons Pottery on East Washington Street. After six years of operation the society was reorganized, and two years later in 1853 the current grounds, on the north end of town, were purchased from John McClymonds. Since that time, the grounds have expanded from the small parcel on Lee Avenue, stretching to and across Saltwell Road. When first opened in September of 1853, the fair featured a half-mile racetrack, some buildings and fences. As the grounds grew so did the number of building, with the grounds currently featuring over 20, including a restaurant, a permanent FFA concession stand and cafeteria style eatery. Other buildings include a dairy milking parlor, a speed barn, Items of Yesteryear, three show stages, the historic coliseum, multi-use beef complex, and newly-erected Rabbit-Poultry-Turkey Barn. Just as the number of buildings has expanded, so has the amount of land, with fair-owned property reaching almost 90 acres. The most recent property acquired by the Fair Board came in 2003, when several acres fronting on Vista Drive became part of a major midway expansion. The expansion greatly increased not only the midway but space for rides. The coliseum, fair office and grandstand help maintain the fair’s history. Once a central point for 4-H members and their families, the coliseum must now share duties with the beef complex.
See BUILDING, Page 13A
The coliseum once hosted the annual 4-H dance, beef and dairy auction, among other events. Some of which have been transferred to the nearby complex. The fair office, which is situated at Gate A, is housed in a historic train station, which was moved from downtown Lisbon to the grounds. Looking over the track is the grandstand, which is believed to be one of the oldest remaining fairground structures of its type in Ohio. While these buildings spotlight the rural lifestyle of Columbiana County, they are not the only thing drawing people through the gates, as the nightly main events manage to pull their weight. Every year fans crowd into the grandstand and outside bleachers for the ever-popular demolition and combine derbies and tractor pulls. Over the years events such as tuff truck competitions, auto thrill shows, circuses, the John Oliver hot air balloon exhibition, and even ostrich races have taken to the track, drawing a crowd. Live music also proves to be a large draw every year, with artist such as Dolly Parton, Porter Waggoner, Tanya Tucker, Tex Ritter, Lorrie Morgan, Jake Owen, Chuck Wicks and most recently Confederate Railroad taking to the stage. And 2013 will be no exception, with a week’s worth of entertainment planned. Running July 29Aug. 4, the 2013 fair will feature free concerts by Zach Paxson and Jeremy Miller on July 31 and Arrival-The Journey Tribute on July 30. There will also be a high school strongman competition, demolition derby and three different truck and tractor pulls. The fair will open officially at 5 p.m. July 29 during opening ceremonies, followed by a free truck and tractor pull extravaganza. During the Arrival concert, the annual bike night will also take place. The Smoker Series presented by Full Pull Productions will again return on Aug. 2. The popular demolition derby will only run for one night, Aug. 4, and will still be preceded by the combine demolition derby. So as the saying goes, “Wheel On Down to the Columbiana County Fair,” every summer for the best of Columbiana County agricultural and yearly fair entertainment.

Martin MacLean Altmeyer Funeral Homes CCCTC July 28, 2013
CALCUTTA — What makes a funeral service meaningful? Personalization. At the beginning of 2013, the Martin MacLean Altmeyer Funeral Homes introduced the new “Life Journey” program. Considering your loved ones likes, hobbies, passions and pastimes, the new “Life Journey” candle, video and stationary will reflect your loved ones journey through life. “This new “Life Journey” program provides us with the opportunity to capture the unique life of each loved one we are entrusted with,” says Mike Sigler, general manager. The “Life Journey” Celebration candle has four sides that can be personalized with pictures, scriptures, poems or quotes. The stationary, memorial folders, thank you cards, bookmarks, prayer cards and service programs are as distinctive as each family. The guestbook is also personalized with pictures, quotes, scriptures and/or poems. If your loved one’s passion is in service organizations or a specific hobby or occupation, these can be a part of the “Life Journey” plan. Each life lived is distinctive and exclusive to one person, as can be the “Life Journey” experience. The Martin MacLean Altmeyer Funeral Homes have the experience and knowledge to make each service, whether it is a traditional funeral service, memorial service or graveside committal service, an exceptional and memorable service. In 2012, the Calcutta Chapel of the Martin MacLean Altmeyer Funeral Homes was the recipient of the Excellence in Service Award from the Johnson Consulting Group.

At the Columbiana County Career and Technical Center, Adult Education begins to prepare for the fall 2013 semester, meeting with students and helping them prepare for a successful school year. On the table this year, the CCCTC has a few unique funding opportunities for students that traditionally would not be found in higher education. CCCTC seeks out funding opportunities to help students graduate debt free. Experimental Pell and Project Hope are two of those options. Experimental Pell is designed to assist students taking short-term programs usually under the full-time requirement traditionally required to qualify for a Pell Grant. In addition, under traditional Pell those with a bachelor’s degree usually disallowed, may qualify under Experimental Pell for the grant. What is so wonderful about a Pell Grant? Grants are financial aid that does not have to be repaid. Therefore students may be able to graduate debt free. In addition to Experimental Pell, CCCTC is a partner with Project Hope, which supports students with financial assistance including gas cards, car repairs, utility

bills, and school supplies that have enabled them to focus on their schooling. Project Hope has aided students with a number of choices on how to handle obstacles that they may encounter. An additional benefit that Project Hope has brought to CCCTC is the reinforcing of professionalism expected from students and the assistance offered in getting the student job ready. The communication lines between Diane Stahl, student coach; and Kevin Clark, student services coordinator; has enabled the system to work smoothly. The students at CCCTC receive what school officials like to call “Wrap Around Service”, which means staff assist students in all aspects of life while they are in school. Project Hope is a key part of this wrap around service. The ability to offer emotional support/counseling as well as some financial assistance has helped a large number of students through their schooling. Stahl and Project Hope have demonstrated a strong dedication to the school’s mission, which is to offer high quality educational opportunities to See CCCTC, Page 16A

Looking for good used furniture? Starting a remodeling project? Shop first at the new Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 1965 N. Ellsworth in Salem. The store is open to the public for sales on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Shoppers can also get a preview of new ReStore donations on Facebook. A ReStore is a retail store run by a local Habitat for Humanity affiliate that sells new and used construction materials, furniture and other items for the home to the public. Donated goods are sold at a fraction of the retail price to help Habitat’s housing ministry in northern Columbiana County. Habitat for Humanity, a United Way agency, is a Christian ministry that builds simple, decent houses in partnership with families in need. The local affiliate is building a house in collaboration with the Kent State School of Architecture and the Construction Management Program in Leetonia this year. “Houses are not free to partner families,” stated Executive Director Barbara Loudon. “Each Habitat family must provide a significant
number of sweat equity hours to first build another family’s house, and then their own. Families then pay for their homes with a zero percentage mortgage from Habitat.” Each week a dedicated team of ReStore volunteers helps pick up donated items, makes minor repairs, cleans, prices and inventories items. This provides an always changing variety of items for sale. Volunteers also serve as cashiers and sales personnel under the guidance of store manager Chaney Nezbeth. “We are so thankful for the amazing things donated to us” said Nezbeth. “People have been so generous with the donations to our housing ministry in the county.” The new ReStore offers twice the floor space as the former store and carries more construction materials, furniture and appliances. Furniture and household goods sold by the Habitat ReStore are often donated by individuals who have remodeled, downsized, settled an estate or moved, and have gently used items that another family may need or want. Building materials may come from do-it-yourselfers, contractors, remodeling projects or stores. Habitat volunteers

have also salvaged many items from homes and businesses that otherwise may have been thrown away. ReStores provide an environmentally and socially responsible way to keep good, reusable materials out of the waste stream while providing funding for Habitat’s housing efforts. The ReStore offers pickup services for all donations under the guidance of Lee Kornick and Lisa Jones. Items may be dropped off at the
store Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9 until 3. Calling the store first assures that there will be help unloading. All donations to the store are tax deductible and donors are given a receipt for their contributions for tax purposes. To arrange a pick up or drop off of donated items, or if you have questions or want to volunteer, call ReStore directly at 330-337- 4808.

LISBON — Susan Shank, owner of Fashion Forward Consignment and Boutique, Park Avenue, Lisbon, is less than two months away from celebrating her third anniversary. Fashion Forward opened in September 2010, starting out as a consignment shop with 26 registered consignors and about 1,000 pieces of inventory. Within the first nine months of business, Shank made her first expansion. In June 2011, Shank expanded into the building located next door to the original location, opening the Bridal Boutique, offering new and consigned wedding gowns priced as low as $25. The Boutique also offers mother of the wedding, flower girl, prom gowns, homecoming, beauty pageants, royal court, military balls and more. Brand names include Mori Lee, Christina Wu, Alfred Angelo, Tiffany, Private Collections and many, many more. Shank never dreamed that this one idea of a consignment shop would grow so quickly. As of today, Fashion Forward Consignment and Boutique is just short of 600 registered consignors and over 35,000 pieces of inventory have passed through her doors. The response has been completely overwhelming. With economic conditions as they are, she is so happy that she can offer clothing and other items at an affordable price. Shank also believes in giving back to the community. On behalf of Fashion For-
ward, she has donated to numerous organizations and charities. Most of the donated clothing goes to the Christina House, but she has also supported other causes as well. Recently, Fashion Forward donated 80 containers of clothing to the Oklahoma Tornado Victims. Another organization that Fashion Forward strongly supports is called Diva Donations. Diva Donations is an organization that is dedicated to helping everyone afford to have their dream Cinderella experience. Girls in need can rent a gown for their prom or wedding for a very small fee. On behalf of Fashion Forward, Shank has donated over 600 formal gowns to this organization. Fashion Forward also supports numerous local artists and vendors by featuring their handcrafted items including. Items include children’s tutu’s, bridal hairpieces, handpainted gowns, duct tape dresses, bling items, brooch bouquets, and handmade jewelry.

Roberts Funeral Home July 28, 2013
WELLSVILLE — Roberts Funeral Home is Wellsville’s only hometownowned funeral establishment, and our family takes great pride in working hard for the betterment of the community. We consider it an honor to serve Wellsville and the surrounding communities, and we believe that hometown ownership truly does make a difference. Support of the community is one of our priorities. Thousands of dollars have been awarded to graduating seniors from Wellsville High School through Roberts Funeral Home Memorial Scholarships. These scholarships were established to honor the members of the families we have served over the years. We take pride in the donations we are able to make to various organizations and service clubs in the surrounding area. Because of the families that support our business, we are able to give back to the community. Many employees of our firm are actively involved in numerous charitable organizations, fundraising endeavors, and church activi-
ties. They graciously and unselfishly give freely of their time for the improvement of our hometown. The funeral service industry is constantly changing, and we realize that the needs and wants of the families we serve are also changing. We are able to accommodate those needs and create a distinctive funeral for each individual. We welcome personalization of every funeral service. We are constantly searching for new ways to serve an ever changing society. All types of services are available at our funeral home including the traditional funeral, direct burial, and cremation. In every situation, help is afforded with social security, veteran affairs, and insurance matters. Our firm also offers several options to pre-plan funeral services. In most cases, it can be arranged for pre-funded funeral plans to be transferred to our funeral home from another establishment. Roberts Funeral Home offers a full line of remembrance items such as keep-
sake urns and jewelry for those who choose cremation as a final disposition. Pendants and several jewelry items are available which can be engraved with a loved one’s fingerprint to be cherished long after the funeral service. We also offer a vast selection of cemetery monuments which can be custom designed as a lasting memorial for a loved one with the choice of many graphics, colors, and stone types. Another service provided by Roberts Funeral Home is the care of a pet upon death. Having pets ourselves, we understand that they play an important role in the dynamics of a family. We handle the final arrangements of a beloved pet with as much sincerity and respect as we do all other aspects of our business. We also offer pet keepsake jewelry to create a lasting memorial.

Lookw hatyourneighborsaresaying abouttheirexperiencesw ith Hearing AidsAnd Devices. Huh? What did you say? Come again... These were all things that came out of my mouth several times a day until recently. As a recently turned 30 year old man, I was very reluctant to get my ears checked, there was no issue with my hearing, the problem was with everyone else around me. This is what I thought until my children started getting frustrated when talking to me. That’s when I said time to get checked out. What do you know, I was wrong. It wasn’t everyone elses fault, I really did have hearing issues. Well not anymore, thanks to Hearing Aids & Devices. I am now wearing the wrap behind the ear hearing aids and can not believe what I was missing all this time. The crispness of people’s voices is something I have not heard in a very long time. There was no hassle to buy, the staff was very friendly and Evelyn sat down with me and explained every inch of the hearing aid. Thank you all so very much, Hearing Aids & Devices, you not only helped me, but you helped my whole family and all those around me. Thanks Again Hearing Aids & Devices.
Salem, Ohio
Dear Evelyn, I was a hard sell for my hearing aids. You called me for 10 years. Inviting me in for hearing tests & I went because they were free. I was keeping track of my loss, in denial, but keeping track, Nov. 2012 came and I finally was ready to buy. I could kick myself for not buying 10 years ago, when I was working. I could have had them paid for. Now I am retired and struggling to get by; but I can hear again my wife, birds, grandchildren and its truly wonderful. If I can give any advice - don’t be stubborn. If you need hearing aids get them before more damage is done. After all they are your ears.

local ownership gives us the necessary background, history, and knowledge to understand the true meaning of what the loss of a loved one means to the people of our valley. Aug. 1, 2013, will mark 41 years that the funeral home has been owned by the Roberts family. William “Red” Roberts started working at the funeral home as a young man in 1936 and later became a licensed embalmer and funeral director after serving our country in the U. S. Navy during World War II. He and his wife June purchased the funeral home in 1972. In 1990, their son Bill, and his wife Vicki, assumed the operation of the funeral home.

With the nickname like “Food,” is it any wonder Glenn Huston grew up to become a chef? He is a graduate of Lisbon’s David Anderson High School and the Pittsburgh Culinary Institute. While attending college, Glenn did his internship in a five star restaurant in Maui, Hawaii and for over 20 years he worked as a chef at a number of restaurants. In mid January of 2011, Glenn and his sister, Kristen Huston, decided to open their own restaurant, Chef’s Table, at 130 S. Market St, Lisbon. Chef’s Table offers a variety of lunch and dinner options and daily specials, the vast majority priced at under $10. Chef Glenn serves a variety of fresh foods. The menu consists of appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, pasta meals, steaks, and a wide variety of entrees. They also have an ever changing homemade dessert menu. In January 2012, Chef’s Table needed to enlarge.
Their original seating was for 44, but with their business growing, more room was a must. Then the building next door became available, and it was a “no brainer” on what they needed to do. With the building project complete, the restaurant now has doubled its seating. The new room is available for private parties. Catering menus are available. Whether you want a party room for an event or prefer to order in advance for pickup, the experienced staff is ready to make your day special.

Two grants from the Department of Labor’s Workforce Innovation Fund (WIF), administered through the One-Stop Workforce System of Columbiana and Mahoning Counties, continue to impact the area and will continue to do so for several years. One of the two grants addresses the area’s skills gap and talent pipeline in manufacturing. The $6 million, three-year grant for the OhPenn Interstate Region (Mahoning, Columbiana and Trumbull counties in Ohio and Lawrence and Mercer counties in Pennsylvania) will map career pathways in manufacturing, promote manufacturing credentials and attract future skilled workers for the sector. Just completing its first year, the grant funds local career coaches that reach out to schools to inform students of the opportunities offered by today’s manufacturers. This summer an innovative program was launched that gives teachers an opportunity to spend several weeks at a manufacturing facility and learn about today’s manufacturing technology and environment. Also the career coaches work with job seek-
ers and encourage them to consider manufacturing for their next career or help them identify skills needed to return to a job in manufacturing. Those interested in learning more about manufacturing as a career can attend the free Pathways to Manufacturing workshop that is offered monthly at the local OneStops. Contact the One-Stop to reserve a seat as prior registration is required. The second $6 million, three-year DOL grant will expand the acclaimed Business Resource Network (BRN) from its current Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana county area to 16 counties across the state of Ohio. Launched in 2008, the BRN provides companies with a single point of contact to access a wide variety of business services available in the area. The local BRN has about 40 partners that include chambers of commerce, workforce and economic development organizations, universities, career and technical centers, and state and local government agencies.

Although it has been held in different locations throughout the village, it seems that the Village Square locations is the favorite among festival goers. Johnny Appleseed events kick off with a parade with honors Chapman and his labor of love in teaching religion and planting apple trees throughout 10,000 square miles of frontier land. Lisbon was part of that 10,000 square mile area. The Concerts on the Square is one of the chamSee CHAMBER, Page 15A

CEO sees ‘teaching hospital’ in East Liverpool By KATIE SCHWENDEMAN Staff Writer
“We have more residents, more medical students, and EAST LIVERPOOL — Over they are treating patients throughout the community.” — Kenneth Cochran the last few years some major changes have taken place at East Liverpool City Hospital, and the evolution of services isn’t stopping anytime soon. CEO Kenneth Cochran said plans are in the works to move the River Valley Physicians Family Medicine office from the Delta Professional Complex on St. Clair Avenue to a new building in Calcutta Square in September. The family medicine group only recently launched a new residency clinic, and the hospital’s internal residency program has expanded, he added. “We have more residents, more medical students, and they are treating patients throughout the community,” he said. The medical education program is affiliated with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, Pa., and the number of resi-

Working on the basis that a successful business makes a strong employer, the BRN seeks to help businesses take advantage of opportunities and surmount challenges. A BRN account representative conducts an in-depth interview with the company executives. Then a package of proposals compiled from the 40 partners is presented to the company. Red tape is significantly reduced. The company can chose which, if any, of the programs and services it wants to pursue. From July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, more than
dents has nearly doubled this month. The internal residency center is located on the first floor of the hospital on West Fifth Street. Cochran has said that training physicians locally keeps them local, and his goal is for the facility to be a “teaching hospital” while expanding patient care. The 165-bed hospital’s partnerships with other medical facilities has opened the door for a larger staff and specialized care that allows patients to stay local for certain treatments. Cochran said that, as planned, the Association of Specialty Physicians out of Beaver, Pa. provided six orthopedic surgeons to the hospital in June who joined the one orthopedic surgeon already on staff for the operation of an orthopedic clinic.
70 companies in Mahoning and Columbiana counties were interviewed and received proposals from the BRN. For the remainder of 2013, the One-Stops will continue to provide job search services to job seekers and recruitment services to employers at the new Lisbon location in the Government Services Building, 7989 Dickey Drive, and in Boardman at 141 Boardman-Canfield Road as well as the Oakhill Satellite, 345 Oakhill Ave., entrance D, in Youngstown. Many services are available 24/7 on the One-Stop website www.onestopohio.org.
As a result, “They have seen an increase of patients seen and treated at their office and treated at our hospital. That partnership is progressing well, which means that more people in our community are receiving care locally,” he said. Cochran has been at the helm of the hospital since 2010 and has sought out partnerships with other facilities to extend local offerings, including with Akron Children’s Hospital for the operation of a 15bed pediatric unit. The unit officially opened in April and prior to that was revamped with new floors, wall paint, privacy curtains, window blinds and decor. It features upgraded equipment such as an EPIC computer system that allows physicians to enter their own orders to improve
patient safety and save time. The hospital has also partnered with the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute for a satellite location, and is getting ready to implement a new sports Cochran medicine program that is a result of partnerships with five of the area’s major school systems. The new sports program was requested by the community, and Cochran said the “ultimate goal” is for student athletes and their parents to have access to better physical health by having access to advice from athletic trainers and athletic care providers. Those trainers and providers will also work closely with coaches and athletic directors. Participating school districts are East Liverpool, Beaver Local, Lisbon, Wellsville and Southern. Other changes include new auto-

matic electronic patient medical records that Cochran said allow the hospital to carry over information as needed so physicians can work collaboratively to provide more holistic care for patients. The electronic records are necessary as a result of the 2009 Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act. Over the last five years the hospital has made $9 million in IT improvements, according to Cochran. In March the hospital launched an online patient portal for River Valley Physician patients, he said. Patients can access their account and review medical and discharge information and physician notes. Cochran also said the hospital is currently in the construction phase of opening a geriatric behavioral health unit. The unit is slated to open Jan. 2 on the third floor of the hospital and will provide mental health care for adults 55 years of age and older. kschwendeman@mojonews.com

The lobby of the new Government Services building is shown.
BUILDING Continued from Page 2A
An old bowling alley was converted into a storage facility. Halleck said he remembers Commissioner Jim Hoppel telling him at one point that he received a phone call about a snake in the old Jobs and Family Services building — a snake they were chasing but was never located to his knowledge. The condition of the old building necessitated a new home, according to Halleck. The Board of Elections building was also causing great concern as the roof began to deteriorate causing leaks. “The amount of money we were spending on maintaining the old buildings was unacceptable,” Halleck said. Although Halleck said the need for a solution was recognized when he was a commissioner in the 1990s, it was Hoppel and former commissioner Penny Traina who he credits for beginning the process. However, it was always a money issue. The county was paying rent for the other buildings anyway. While additional revenues from state casino taxes and the shale industry are helping, Halleck said most of the money for recent renovations has come through attri-
tion and through technology helping to alleviate the need for as many employees. Additionally, Halleck said money is being saved by office holders and employees working within their budgets. He also appreciates the generosity of the taxpayers renewing the sales tax. In addition to the new building, Halleck said the county has been able to do some additional renovation projects recently, such as expansion of the dog pound and spending $500,000 to put a new roof on the jail. A new waterline, which will eliminate about $10,000 to $12,000 in water filtration expenses, is being run to the county jail. Remodeling has continued at the courthouse. Bathrooms, which have not been fixed since 1934, are being renovated. The commissioners’ offices were renovated. The front steps are currently being repaired. The parking lot behind the county courthouse has been paved and just recently, the lot at the Emergency Management Agency was paved also. “Every 100 years you ought to fix your parking lot,” Halleck quipped. djohnson@mojonews.com

The Beaver Creek Candle Company is a unique organization because all candles are handcrafted by people with developmental disabilities. Every candle is carefully prepared, packaged and shipped by people in the candle workshop under the watchful eye of the Columbiana County Board of Developmental Disabilities. The Beaver Creek Candle Company opened its doors in August 2011 at 8330 County Home Road in Lisbon. The Candle Company was first started in a small area at Employment Development Inc., a workshop for adults with developmental
disabilities, which is located next door to the candle building. Due to overwhelming growth, there was a need to have its own facility. The Beaver Creek Candle Company focuses on the desire of the developmentally disabled to shine as hard workers who are proud of the products they make and the independence they earn from a paycheck. It brings to life that everyone can do something to help make their dreams come true. Energetic and enthusiastic, the developmentally disabled have a gift See CANDLE, Page 15A

CAA — Head Start 14A
The Community Action Agency of Columbiana County Inc. Head Start Program focuses on school readiness and family engagement. The program is free to families and provides meals, transportation, and family support. It prepares 3-, 4- and 5-yearold children and their families for the kindergarten experience as children transition from Head Start to their local school district. Head Start educators know this is a big step for many families. Head Start students will gain the skills, knowledge and attitudes to succeed in school and later on in life. Head Start values parent and community input and has developed
new school readiness goals based on suggestions from parents, Head Start teachers and school district personnel to ensure children are ready for school when they leave Head Start. Children’s lessons are based on various forms of data collected over the course of the program year. This includes data collected through assessments, observations, work samples, portfolios, and parent and staff reports. The data are analyzed throughout the year to ensure children are making progress toward identified school readiness goals. Head Start’s staff works hard to build relationships with and improve the well-
being of the entire family. The staff helps families become lifelong learners and advocates for their children. Head Start helps build positive parent-child relationships and teach parents how to support their children throughout the entire education process. To enroll a 3-, 4- or 5-year-old child for the upcoming program year, call at 330-424-7221, as staff members would love to explain more about the program and what it offers. Interested parents can also contact Head Start on Twitter, Facebook, or at https://sites.google.com/site/cocntyheadstart.

The drilling boom is reported to be improving employment prospects, but to date, Columbiana County Jobs and Family Services (JFS) has seen little impact on the low-income, often lower-skilled population it serves. Eventually, JFS officials anticipate that a trickle-down effect will begin to open entry-level positions which will provide additional employment opportunities. The JFS encourage applicants for assistance — as well as recipients of assistance — to explore training opportunities which will prepare them for employment in the drilling boom. JFS employees make every effort to stay informed regarding
the opportunities available by attending economic summits, chamber meetings and other informational gatherings. They are optimistic that the improving economy in Columbiana County and surrounding areas will improve employment opportunities and increase incomes for those who work at low-wage jobs so that fewer citizens will be financially deprived. As the economy improves, the JFS hopes to be able to focus more of its efforts on training and job exploration, as well as support services which enable people to obtain and retain employment and rely less on subsistence services. Officials are optimistic that the community will experience

He graduated from the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science in 1992. Ken is a member of Holy Trinity Parish, Ohio Funeral Directors Association, National Funeral Directors Association, the East Liverpool Elks Lodge 258, and is past vice president, secretary, and treasurer of the Columbiana County Funeral Directors Association. Ken has been a valued member of the funeral home staff as a funeral director and embalmer since 1996. His compassion and his attentiveness to the needs of others make him a friend to all who know him. Ken is married to the former Candy Hayden Moore, and they are the parents of five children and have 12 grandchildren. Erin Roberts-Orr graduated as valedictorian from Wellsville High School in 2005. She continued her education at the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science and graduated in January of 2007 with a mortuary science degree and an Associate Degree in business. Erin obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in funeral service with a major in environmental health and a minor in psychology from Point Park University, graduating magna cum laude in May of 2008. She became a licensed funeral director and embalmer in December of 2009. Erin is a third generation funeral director and embalmer, following in the footsteps of her grandparents, Bill and June Roberts, and her father, Bill. She is a member of the Ohio Funeral Directors Association and the National Funeral Directors Association. Erin was also the first recipient of
the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce Rising Star Award in 2010 which was established to recognize a young member of the Chamber of Commerce who gives back to the community. She is presently serving her community as a member of the Wellsville Lions Club and as a member of the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce. Erin is the sole community member to sit on the board for the Ohio Improvement Process for the Wellsville School District. She is a member of the Wellsville S.O.I. and a board member of the Potter Players Community Theatre where she is chairman of the renovation project of the Liberty Theater. She serves on the board of directors for the Kiducation Learning Center as well. She is also a member and elder at Covenant Presbyterian Church. Erin finds great satisfaction in volunteering her time to her community. She has been married to her husband, Jason, for five years, and they have a daughter, Irelyn. There is no comparison to the compassion of the entire staff at Roberts Funeral Home. Everyone is an area resident and is committed to the wellbeing of the communities we serve. Along with three full time licensed funeral directors, our staff includes Ron Ross, Jack Call, Pastor Dirk Hall, Rosie Wells, Tom McCullough, Bill Wells, and Ethel Bock. This year we are very pleased to announce the addition of three new employees: Michael Call, Fred Wells, and Brandon Russell, who is the youth minister at the Wellsville First Christian Church. At the end of 2012, long time employee and friend, Bill Boyce, retired after 20 years of service. Being Wellsville’s only hometown-owned funeral home affords families the presence and availability of the Roberts family as well as the familiar faces of friends and neighbors at a most difficult time. We at Roberts Funeral Home feel there is a genuine commitment to service when a business is independently owned and operated by a family who resides in and takes pride in giving back to the community.
