The PHNX Materials demonstration scale facility in Eastlake was impressive, not in its size, but in its vision to completely convert a historical waste byproduct into useful products.
The ribbon cutting ceremony marked the beginning of turning more than 100 million tons of fly ash (from the combustion of coal) into fertilizer and concrete additive, all while extracting strategic critical minerals from the fly ash.
The fourth annual Suicide Awareness Ruck March in Morgan County was coordinated by VFW Post 4713. The event continues to double in participation each year with strong community support as well as that of the 2-174th Air Defense Artillery National Guard unit in Morgan County.
The 3-mile march may be completed with or without a weighted pack, but it is always done in awareness of and support for our veterans.
Bitdeer is a cryptocurrency mining facility that is also expanding into data services. A tour of the operations in the Canton area was helpful in understanding how these facilities operate.
I was surprised that the facility was running at full capacity, as we were walking past some of the support buildings and I didn’t hear a thing. It was only within about 100 feet that I could hear the buzzing of the cooling fans.
Attending the Council of State Governments Midwestern Legislative Conference was a good opportunity to connect with fellow legislators from the region, as well as learn about legislation and issues in other states.
In the energy committee I was pleased to be asked to provide an update, which led to a lengthy discussion of the energy policies and results in Ohio. Additionally, I was asked to provide insights on a workforce development panel hosted by Arnold Ventures.
Honored to join the powerful Welcome Home opening ceremony for The Wall That Heals at the Belmont County Fairgrounds.
The wall carries the names of more than 58,000 Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this country. The wall also serves as a long over due official Welcome Home for Vietnam veterans.
The Meigs County Fair was the place to be, despite the recent wet weather and muddy parking lots. It was a privilege to meet the smart and talented fair queen as she helped oversee everything from the full midway to the livestock judging.
At the Beverly Sweet Corn Festival, I was happy to put in some work as a corn roaster while still finding time to talk with some great folks from the area. I was also able to watch the two neighboring school districts compete in eating contests of watermelon and sweet corn.
