Through the work of many, I am pleased to have shared this document with you since 2012, and could not be prouder of the improvements and accomplishments of the historic Wheeling Police Department. It is my sincere honor to represent the membership of the Wheeling Police Department in this report and it remains my distinct pleasure to serve as the City of Wheeling’s Police Chief. During 2017, we truly started to see the positive impacts of Geographic Policing and Intelligence Led Policing. Our focused efforts on high crime areas paid dividends and made impacts in those areas while adhering to our core values. Also in 2017, we continued to work below our allocated staffing levels, however we did make some progress throughout the year and hope to continue that trend in 2018. Nine new officers joined the ranks of the WPD this year. With staffing levels improving, we should be able to continue the positive impacts on crime in Wheeling as well as further Chief of Police specializing our department. Again, this year, we continued to observe Shawn Schwertfeger the horrible effects of the opioid and drug problem plaguing our area.

  • History of Hancock Ciounty; Virginia and West Virginia
    HISTORY of HANCOCK COUNTY • Virginia and West Virginia o Sacramento Branch Genealogical Library BY JACK WELCH FIRST PRINTING © Copyright, 1963, by Jack Welch All rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions. Published in Wheeling, West Virginia, by The Wheeling News Printing & Litho Co. orewor* The physical features of Hancock County can be described quickly and easily. It is the northernmost county in West Virginia, bounded on the north and west by the Ohio River, on the east by Pennsylvania, and on the south by Brooke County. It is the smallest county in West Virginia with 88.55 square miles. It has three muni­ cipalities (Chester, New Cumberland, Weirton), three magisterial districts (Butler, Clay, Grant), and 37 voting precincts. Its agri­ cultural and industrial products include iron, steel, chinaware, pottery, bricks, fire clay, sheet metal, tin products, apples, dairy foods, and livestock. Hancock County, like any other inhabited area of the world, is more than a tiny block of land furnishing a livelihood for several thousands of people. It is a land that is built upon the labor, the ideals, the lives, and the deaths of those who have gone before. It is a forest turned into a farm, a farm turned into a town, and a town turned into an industrial site employing thousands of people. It is a man chopping a tree in a virgin forest, it is a woman taking up a "fie to protect her family from Indians, it is a man building a school, it is a man building a factory. All these things are Hancock County, as much of a reality as the topographical and statistical elements.

  • Fiscal Years 2016 – 2019 Transportation Improvement Program
    FISCAL YEARS 2016 – 2019 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ADOPTED APRIL 9, 2015 The preparation of this document was financed cooperatively by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration of the United States Department of Transportation, the State of Ohio Department of Transportation, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the State of Indiana Department of Transportation and local units of government within the OKI region. The opinions, findings and conclusions expressed in this document are those of the author and not necessarily those of the United States Department of Transportation. This report does not constitute a standard, specification or regulation. ABSTRACT TITLE: OKI Fiscal Years 2016–2019 Transportation Improvement Program DATE: April 9, 2015 AUTHOR: Mark R. Paine STAFF: Alexandria Barnes Regina Brock Summer Jones Timothy M. Maltry Andrew J. Reser, AICP David T. Shuey, GISP Karen Whitaker AGENCY: The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments is the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Greater Cincinnati area. OKI works on an array of regional issues related to transportation planning, commuter services, and air and water quality. Mark R. Policinski, Executive Director Robert Koehler, Deputy Executive Director REPORT ABSTRACT: The preparation of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a requirement in order to qualify the region for continuing eligibility for federal highway and transit funding assistance. The TIP is a program of publicly funded transportation improvements for the OKI region. Although OKI produces the TIP on a biennial basis, each edition covers a period of four years. Along with an overview of the transportation planning process through which projects are generated, the TIP provides a list, by county, of all federally assisted highway and transit improvements that are contemplated by municipal, county or state governments or transit authorities.

  • Allegheny's Riverfronts
    ALLEGHENY’S RIVERFRONTS A Progress Report on Municipal Riverfront Development in Allegheny County DECEMBER 2010 Allegheny County Allegheny’s Riverfronts Dear Friends: In Allegheny County, we are known for our rivers. In fact, our rivers have repeatedly been in the national spotlight – during the Forrest L. Wood Cup and Pittsburgh G-20 Summit in 2009, and during World Environment Day in 2010. We are fortunate to have more than 185 miles of riverfront property along the Allegheny, Monongahela, Ohio and Youghiogheny Rivers. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for recreation, conservation and economic development. Providing access to our waterways has always been a key priority and we have been very successful in connecting communities through our trail and greenway system. Through partnerships with businesses, foundations and trail groups, we are on target to complete the Great Allegheny Passage along the Monongahela River before the end of 2011. This trail has been improving the economy and quality of life in towns throughout the Laurel Highlands and Southwestern Pennsylvania, and now its benefits will spread north through the Mon Valley and into the City of Pittsburgh. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for greening our region through the use of new trees, rain gardens and riverside vegetation that aid in flood control, improved water quality and a more natural experience. Allegheny County riverfronts have also always been great places to live. More people will be able to experience riverfront living with the development of communities such as Edgewater at Oakmont, which promises to be one of the best new neighborhoods in the region. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished along our riverfronts and excited about all that is yet to come.

  • Obituaries & Death Notices
    Obituaries & Death Notices Steubenville Jefferson County, Ohio 1880-1884 By Leila Francy INTRODUCTION This book holds records from 1880-1884, a period of five years. Originally these notes were copied directly from the newspapers quoted onto 3 x 5 file cards. This process took place over a period of several years. Eventually these cards took up so large amount of storage space that I determined to concentrate the information into book form. Unfortunately I began this consolidation when my sight was beginning to fade, so that proof reading was poorly done, and consequently the chance of copying errors were thus multiplied. My intent in preparing these cards was not to include all information contained in the papers, but to provide enough information so that the reader could determine which references were worth looking up in the original papers or in the concentrated books and boxes of clippings I had prepared. In these collections, it is often possible to find 2 or 3 mentions of the person on the same page, so care should be taken to find them all. Information given sometimes varies, so it will be necessary to give extra consideration to some of these. Leila S. Francy At the end of each entry are notations such as "Bk. pp, 12, 16." These notations refer to books and files which are in the author's personal collection. Complete information from these citations are available on various Steubenville newspapers. These are available on microfilm at the Schiappa Branch Library, Steubenville, oH. -1- ABERCROMBIE, mrs. Elizabeth, ae 76 yrs., a former resident of Steubenville, died at the Infirmary.
