“Thank you Governor for finding this site in
Ohio,” said Mark Garner, president and
CEO of Voith Hydro, Inc. at an open house held Nov. 2.
On hand for the occasion were Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, U.S.
Congressman Charlie Wilson, State Representative Jennifer
Garrison, public officials and community leaders from
Ohio and West Virginia.
Voith Hydro and American Municipal Power hosted the open house
at the site of Voith’s planned manufacturing facility in
Hannibal. The facility, located at the
former Ormet Rolling Mill between the Ohio River and SR7 just
north of Hannibal,
is projected to employ 40 workers.
“What is needed to get our economy going again is jobs, jobs,
jobs,” said Congressman Wilson, who also thanked the governor
for the leadership in saving Ormet last spring.
“The state of Ohio
is giving Voith Hydro five-and-a-half million dollars in
incentives to try to make this venture possible,” said Governor
Strickland. “We’re living in historic times. I feel that greed
and profiteering on the part of Wall Street caused this economic
collapse. We are down, but we are not staying down,” continued
the governor.
“I want Ohio to become a
supplier of the world’s essential needs and in doing that, we
will create jobs ... Ohio is ranked in the top five with clean
energy job creation. Ohio is
number one in the
Midwest in clean jobs and clean business.
“Recovery will come faster because business, labor and
government at every level are pulling our country out of this
recession,” said Governor Strickland.
Voith Hydro will manufacture stators for the generators to be
used at the run-of-the-river hydroelectric facilities currently
under development by American Electric Power Inc. Gov.. Ted
Strickland and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown have been working closely
with the Ohio Department of Development and Voith Hydro to find
a suitable site for the new manufacturing facility.
With the recent award by AMP of contracts to build 11 large
horizontal bulb units for hydroelectric projects at the
Smithland, Cannelton, Willow Island and Meldahl dams on the Ohio
River, Voith Hydro determined that it was necessary to develop a
manufacturing facility, with river access, to assemble, test and
ship the large generator stators. The stator, as explained by
Norbert Riedel, chief engineer at Voith Hydro, is a key
component of Read more in the Nov. 5 Monroe County Beacon.
Team
Monroe
Education P-16 Council Helps Secure Grants
Members of the Team Monroe Education committee with leadership
support from the Monroe County
commissioners and
Belmont
Technical
College
have been working to establish a Monroe County P-16 Council.
Communty members and leaders from across the county have held
meetings since July. To date, the group has secured $15,000 in
grants.
The P-16 Council received a $5,000 grant from the Ohio
Appalachian Center for Higher Education (OACHE) to assist with
its work. The P-16 will work to identify and remedy gaps in the
eduational “pipeline” and to integrate the separate systems of
education across all learning levels ensuring students can
advance smoothly from pre-kindergarten through post secondary
education.
In addition, the P-16 Council supported the Switzerland of Ohio
Local School District in grant writing for a Seeds4Success
College Access grant. The system was awarded $10,000 for college
access activities and support for a part-time (20-hours per
week) OACHE College Access Coordinator.
“This grant will support our schools and our parents with
information at critical points related to college access,” said
George Richardson, administrative assistant for the school
district. “We will provide expanded services for college and
career exploration to our students and parents with the
coordinator and grant funds.”
The council is working to convene local leaders fom every level
of education, fom business, communities and civic interests, as
well as parents, to provide vision and leadership. In the P-16
process all members are equal partners and education
stakeholders in the effort. The group is helping to identify
transition points in students’ education where they may
experience difficulty or need additional support. One goal of
the P-16 Council is to significantly increase the advancement of
education or training rates beyond high school whether that is
college enrollment or vocational/skills and military training
opportunities.
The next P-16 meeting is scheduled for Nov. 12 beginning at 6:30
p.m. at the Monroe County Senior Citizens Center.
For more information or to join the P-16 efforts, call

Dear Editor,
I see that the school facilities are making progress. Sure glad
that we are going to use local labor.
The one thing I ask is why when it comes to our hiring people to
run our schools, we go outside of the county? They pay no taxes
and pay nothing to support our community.
Beallsville football - it’s like walking through a wet pig pen
to get to a very dirty seat.
Richard A. Heller
Beallsville
Around
the Burnside
A person who always says what he or she thinks is courageous and
friendless.
There is no limit to the amount of good you can do, if you don’t
care who gets the credit.
Isn’t it really enjoyable to have a couple or three really nice
days after several not too nice days? Had to scrape frost off
the windshield Sunday morning. Thirty-two degrees is too cold
this time of year. One thing about Ohio weather, if you are
not satisfied just wait around; it will change. Most of the time
on Friday when there’s a high school football game.
Talking about weather, why is there a need for three weather
reports on each news broadcast? Once is enough for me; plus the
fact they are wrong a good part of the time. I just watched what
I consider a Saturday night sports report on Monday at 6:30 p.m.
While I’m at it, why do some TV stations think we suddenly
develop a hearing problem when some commercials are shown? I do
have a little hearing problem but my aids allow me to overcome
this problem. I don’t need a boost in volume to hear the
commercials. Car dealers and the new gambling hall in Pittsburgh are the worst. I just hope my mute
button on my remote does not fail to work.
You probably aren’t interested but I’m going to tell you anyway.
This is a report of 2008-09 Agriculture Education in
Ohio. There were nearly 25,000 students
taking Agri-culture Education class, 316 FFA Chapters (every
county except Monroe), 618 instructors (most career centers have
junior and senior classes), more than 593 students applied for
state recognition in 49 proficiency award areas, over 6,500
students competed in Career Development Events at the state
level (Swiss Hills FFA filled the walls of their class room with
banners won at this type of events) and over 15,000 campers or
others enjoyed the facilities at FFA Camp Muskingum. End of
report.
I know winter is on the way. Is it just me? As I get older I
seem to dislike wintertime more and more; I don’t know why. In
the service I missed a couple of winters and even then I kind of
missed the snow.
I don’t know why I dislike it. We have a nice warm house, plenty
of food, good neighbors to help if needed, we clear a little
snow off the front walk and most of the time we can stay at home
with our 42 inch flat screen. The worst thing we have to do is
walk to the post office for our mail. We even have a neighbor
who will do that for us, if needed. Why complain?
I don’t remember disliking winter so much growing up. Nothing
like today. I slept in a bedroom with no heat, just piled on the
covers. Never had a problem sleeping.
We wore our longjohns, jumped out of bed, kneeling to use the “peggy”
if needed, ran down stairs, dressed behind the Warm Morning
heater, ate a good breakfast and headed for the barn.
When at the barn there was hay to put down, cows to feed, cows
to milk, cats to feed, chickens to feed, hogs to slop if we
hadn’t butchered yet, coal buckets to fill, ashes to carry out,
chop some corn to feed the steer being fattened for beef, then
change and get ready to catch the bus to school. As the winter
wore on some of these things dropped off.
One thing that didn’t change was the little building out back.
You recall the very descriptive name for it, which was very true
during the winter time. I was not very skilled at using what mom
called “the peggy” doing number two so I had to stop by you know
where until I started high school. Our grade school had a couple
of buildings out back. This was where sex education classes were
held.
I knew there were houses that had a bathroom but I never had
much of a chance to use one except when visiting one of my
sisters who lived in the big city. Wasn’t much of a deal during
the summer. When I started high school I managed to do my
business while at school. This worked well except on weekends.
Have you ever wondered why the room is called a restroom? I
don’t know about you but this would be the last place I would go
to rest even if I were tired. There is, however, a restaurant in
Hartville that does have a nice restroom before entering the
important room. I doubt if it gets much use.
One last question. Do they still make and sell longjohns we used
to wear? The ones with the trap door in the back. I don’t look
around where they might keep them at Walmart.
Some of the students made fun of those of us who wore longjohns
when we were dressing for Phys. Ed. This plus the trouble
getting in and out of them, I changed to shorts while getting
ready for school and changed back to do the chores at night. I
also wonder if red longjohns were any warmer than the white
ones. Isn’t that what Santa wears?
You know one of the things I like writing Around the Burnside is
having someone say to me, “I enjoy reading your articles.” My
usual reply is “I’m glad somebody reads it.” Since my picture
does not go along with what I write there are those who do not
know me from Adam’s off ox. When I meet someone who discovers
who I am and says they read it in the Beacon I sometimes wonder
why they read or take the Beacon. Then I find out we have
common interests and sometimes know some of the same people.
This happened last Sunday. Had a nice conversation. Makes it all
worthwhile to go along with my large salary.
You didn’t happen to go to church an hour early Sunday?
People who live beyond their means must be given a lot of
credit.
