Shawnee Hills in Delaware County, Ohio, faces a $54,000 recovery order after a paving project payment was diverted in a scam.

Shawnee Hills Loses $54K in Paving Payment Scam, Ohio Auditor Issues Recovery Order

Shawnee Hills, a small village in Delaware County, Ohio, with fewer than 1,000 residents, became the victim of a payment scam involving a local road project. The village was supposed to pay more than $54,000 to Strawser Paving Company in Columbus for a 2024 asphalt repair project.

Instead, the funds were mistakenly wired to a woman in California after the village’s fiscal officer, Shirley Roskoski, received fraudulent banking details via email. The Ohio Auditor of State’s office investigated the matter and released an audit report on September 25, 2024, identifying a finding for recovery of $54,388.20. According to the report, Roskoski, the California recipient, and Roskoski’s bonding company are “jointly and severally liable” for the misdirected funds.

The audit noted that Shawnee Hills officials did not respond before the report’s release. Roskoski declined to comment when approached by media on September 26.

Clay Strawser, vice president of Strawser Paving Company, confirmed that the village eventually paid the company for its work, which included minor asphalt road repairs. He also mentioned that fraud attempts like this happen several times a year, with scammers posing as legitimate contractors to divert payments.

The Shawnee Hills Village Council had approved the paving project contract with Strawser Paving Company on September 9, 2024. The following day, Roskoski received an email request for electronic payment information, which she believed to be legitimate. On October 16, she authorized the transfer to the fraudulent California account.

The state auditor’s report advised stricter safeguards, urging fiscal officers to confirm vendor bank account details directly with verified employees before making any electronic payments.

Centrus Energy Expansion to Create 300 Jobs in Pike County, Ohio

Pike County, Ohio – Centrus Energy has announced a $1.58 billion expansion project at the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, marking one of the largest clean energy investments in the region’s history. The development is expected to create 300 permanent jobs and employ nearly 1,000 construction workers at its peak.

The expansion will boost Centrus Energy’s uranium enrichment capacity to support the growing demand for nuclear fuel in the U.S., reducing dependence on imports from Russia and China. With America’s energy needs driven by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and data centers, the project positions Ohio as a national leader in nuclear energy production.

A Historic Investment in Ohio’s Energy Future

Governor Mike DeWine praised the project, emphasizing its role in strengthening Ohio’s economy and workforce:

“This is great news for Ohio. Centrus is expanding right here in Piketon. At least 299 new jobs will be created, alongside retaining 127 existing ones.”

The Piketon site once powered U.S. nuclear weapons and later commercial reactors until its closure in the early 2000s. Cleanup and redevelopment have been ongoing, with new plans including hydrogen power plants and nuclear reactors.

High-Wage Jobs and Economic Growth

Centrus Energy will partner with JobsOhio to hire for a range of roles, including engineers, operators, electricians, and accountants. These positions will offer an average wage of $50 per hour, generating more than $31 million in payroll for the state annually.

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted highlighted the project’s significance for both energy independence and national security:

“Our adversaries on the battlefield are our uranium suppliers today. This project changes that. If America wants zero-carbon energy to power AI and beyond, nuclear is the way forward.”

Boosting U.S. Nuclear Leadership

Using advanced centrifuge technology manufactured in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Centrus will produce high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU), essential for the next generation of nuclear reactors. The company also plans to supply low-enriched uranium for nearly all of the 94 nuclear reactors currently operating in the United States.

With a nationwide supply chain spanning 13 states, the expansion will not only impact Pike County but also bring growth opportunities to surrounding areas like Chillicothe, Portsmouth, and Waverly.

Gary Arnett, Pike County’s economic development director, noted:

“This expansion will be a shot in the arm for Pike County and every county touching it.”

Teamsters and Firefighters Unions Urge Columbus and Other Cities to Boycott Sutphen Corp.

Two powerful labor unions are calling on North American cities, including Columbus, to boycott Dublin-based fire truck manufacturer Sutphen Corp. as a worker strike extends beyond four months.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 284, representing 85 Sutphen workers on strike, and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) are urging city governments to cancel fire truck and fire safety equipment orders until the company reaches a fair labor agreement.

In July, the Columbus City Council voted to cancel a $2.5 million Sutphen ladder truck contract, citing the ongoing labor dispute. The council then approved a replacement contract with Pierce Manufacturing.

According to Teamsters Local 284 President Mark Vandak, Sutphen has violated federal labor laws and used “union busters” to resist fair bargaining. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has already found merit in several bad-faith bargaining charges against the company.

While Sutphen maintains it is negotiating in good faith and continues to produce “the safest fire apparatus in the world,” union leaders argue the company’s tactics have harmed its reputation.

Columbus firefighters say the strike is worsening an already critical issue: the city’s aging fleet of fire trucks. Local 67 IAFF President Steven Stein stressed the urgency of securing new trucks, whether from Sutphen or another reliable manufacturer, to ensure public safety.

Both Teamsters President Sean O’Brien and IAFF President Ed Kelly have pledged their support for the boycott until Sutphen reaches a fair labor agreement with its workers.

Former Ranco Site in Plain City Transforms into 66-Acre Community Park

A former industrial site in Plain City is set to be transformed into a sprawling 66-acre recreational park after decades of environmental cleanup. The site, previously home to Ranco, a manufacturer of thermostat, vehicle, and HVAC components for over 50 years, closed in 2004.

Village officials confirmed that the redevelopment is a result of collaboration between Ranco, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Ohio EPA, which worked together to decontaminate the property and ensure it is safe for public use.

The upcoming park will feature athletic fields, walking trails, and dedicated spaces for festivals, outdoor events, and community gatherings. Local leaders emphasized that the master plan for the park will be shaped by thorough research and input from residents to best meet community needs.

This initiative marks a significant step in revitalizing Plain City, turning a former industrial landmark into a vibrant space for recreation and community engagement.

Black Owned Businesses Drive Ohio’s Economic Growth, New Report Reveals

Nearly 130,000 workers in Ohio are employed by Black-owned businesses, creating a substantial economic impact across the state, according to a recent report. The findings were highlighted during the ‘State of Ohio Black Business’ event held on Wednesday.

The report emphasized two major points: Black-owned businesses are playing a significant role in Ohio’s economic growth, and there is untapped potential for expansion beyond the state’s major cities.

Eric Kearney of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce noted, “Many people assume that Black-owned businesses are concentrated only in metropolitan areas like Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati. However, the study demonstrates growth opportunities across Ohio, with thriving pockets of Black-owned enterprises statewide.”

Ohio is home to three of the nation’s top 10 largest Black-owned businesses. Collectively, these companies, along with hundreds more in the state, generate nearly $12 billion annually, as reported by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

Stephen L. Hightower, President and CEO of Hightower’s Petroleum Co., shared his perspective on business growth: “Success is possible when you start from zero and learn to scale, partner, and network effectively. Scalability is crucial to remain competitive.”

The report also revealed that Black-owned businesses contribute over $500 million in state taxes each year. This impact is inspiring for young entrepreneurs seeking guidance and mentorship in Ohio’s business community.

The event fostered collaboration among business owners to address challenges and explore opportunities. Organizers expressed their commitment to making the ‘State of Ohio Black Business’ an annual event to continue promoting growth and networking.

Columbus Community Mourns Death of 3-Year-Old Boy in Accidental Shooting on Southeast Side

Columbus , Ohio – Heartbreak continues to ripple through the community after the tragic death of a 3-year-old boy who police say accidentally shot himself on the city’s southeast side.

The incident occurred in the 6600 block of Kodiak Drive, where the child, identified as Cartier Smith, was rushed to the hospital but later pronounced dead.

Community leaders expressed grief and disbelief. “They were devastated and questioning why this happened to such a young child,” said Arnetta Davis, who works with families in Canal Winchester coping with tragedy.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther also shared his sorrow, saying, “I am not just the mayor, I am a dad. Anytime we lose a child in this community, it really hits home. It reminds us we must double down on efforts to improve safety.”

Police have charged Sean Perrin, 31, with having a weapon under disability, accusing him of bringing the firearm into the apartment. The boy’s mother, Carley Dials, faces an involuntary manslaughter charge. Prosecutors say she placed the gun between her mattress and the wall after finding it on the floor, before falling back asleep. The child later found the firearm.

The neighborhood has faced tragedy before. In 2021, three people — Londynn Wall-Neal, 6; her brother Demetrius, 9; and Charles Wade, 22 — were fatally shot on the same block. No arrests have been made in that case.

“This community is heartbroken. People were still trying to heal from the last tragedy, and now we are facing another loss of a child,” Davis said.

The Columbus Division of Police continues to investigate the incident.

French Mayors Raise Palestinian Flags Despite Government Warnings Ahead of UN Recognition

As France prepares to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly, some French mayors have chosen to fly Palestinian flags on town halls, despite warnings from the Interior Ministry. The move has been gaining momentum amid the nearly two-year war in Gaza, which has heightened public attention on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In Malakoff, a Paris suburb, Mayor Jacqueline Belhomme refused to remove the Palestinian flag despite orders to do so, stating it is a symbolic gesture of solidarity similar to the Ukrainian flag previously displayed. In southwestern France, the communist mayor of Mauléon-Licharre, Louis Labadot, briefly raised the flag before removing it after the case was referred to an administrative court, emphasizing the flag represents freedom of thought.

Other mayors across the country, including Mathieu Hanotin of Saint-Denis and Johanna Rolland of Nantes, have announced plans to display the Palestinian flag in solidarity. Meanwhile, Paris illuminated the Eiffel Tower with both Palestinian and Israeli flags separated by a dove symbolizing peace.

The Interior Ministry has instructed local authorities to oppose such displays, citing the principle of neutrality in public service and the risk of importing international conflicts onto French soil. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau stated that town halls should only display the French national flag.

Political debates continue as some officials, like Ian Brossat of the French Communist Party, criticize the minister for contradicting France’s diplomatic position. Others, like Saint-Ouen’s mayor Karim Bouamrane, advocate displaying both Israeli and Palestinian flags as a gesture of peace and unity.

This growing movement illustrates the tension between local government autonomy, public diplomacy, and the symbolic gestures surrounding the Palestinian issue in France.
