   Wintersville Village Council
 met in regular session Tuesday,
 January 16, 1968, at the City
 Building on Leonard Avenue. The
 meeting was called to order by
 Mayor Anthony J. Petrozzi.
   The Mayor commended the
 employees of the Wintersville
 Street Department and Board of
 Public Affairs for the excellent
 job they did in clearing the sncw
 from the streets and assisting
 the citizens when needed, during
 the recent heavy snow fall.
   Mayor Petrozzi read a letter
 received from the Savage Con-
 struction Company, stating that
 the Company would re-check the
 grading and seeding of the ground
 around the sewage plants. A letter
 was also read from the Regional
 Planning Commission, stating
 there would be a meeting January
 22, 1968, at 8:00 PM, City Bldg.,
 to discuss the need on Regional
 Planning in our Inter-State Area.
 The Jefferson   County Action

 that the Village Council give them
 assistance in finding a suitable
 site for an office in the Winters-
 ville Area. Special effort will be
 made to do so.
 SCouncil approved payment of
 membership in the National Fire

   Mr. J. J. Mascio, Solicitor,


3d To Continue Work On Wintersville Plaza


presented Ordinance #726 for
Council consideration and on
unanimous vote of Council, Ordi-
nance #726 was tabled. Solicitor
M ascio then presented Ordinance
#727, repealing Ordinances 10
and 16, which were ordinances
prohibiting the mining of coal by
stripping in the Village of Win-
tersville and now establishing an
Ordinance prohibiting the mining
of coal by the stripping method,
within the limits of the Village
of Wintersville and providing
for the removal of residual coal
for the site preparation and con-
struction and providing time for
the reclamation of the land and
providing penalties for violations
of this Ordinance. This is in
reference to the site for the pro-
posed Wintersville Plaza Shop-
ping Center, located off Main
Street, just west of the East
Village  limits. Following the
reading of the Ordinance, Mayor
Petrozzi opened the meeting to
the Public for discussion of the
proposed Ordinance.
   Mr. Kenneth Seiter, Moon Val-
ley   Subdivision, presented a
statement, representing several
residents of Moon Valley, voicing
objection to the possibility of
any type of blasting that mightbe
done in connection with the pro-
ject. The statement further ob-
jected to the possibility that the
firm doing the preparation of the


"Punque" Cartledge First


Ohio Valley Hall Of Famer


  One of the surprise awards at the Dapper Dan Banquet last
Sunday was a certificate, presented to Mr. Charles Q. (Punque)
Cartledge (left), former Steubenville High School Football Coach, as
the first member of a newly instituted Ohio Valley Sports Hall of
Fame. The presentation was made by Oral Pflugh, who was a student
of the nationally known Coach.
  Dr. John Y. Bevan (right), Medical Director of the Ohio Valley
Hospital and Honorary Chairman of the Banquet, accompanied Mr.
Cartledge to the banquet.
  Mr. Cartledge, who had won 77 percent of his games, coached
seven unbeaten teams and had 12 seasons of 1 or 2 game losses, is
recognized as one of the pioneers of night football, and was also on
the staff to design Harding Stadium.


land for construction of the Shop-
ping  Plaza might engage     in
round - the - clock operations.
Mayor Petrozzi commented on
the fact that while council has
jurisdiction over the territory
within the Corporate Limits of
the Village of Wintersville, Coun-
cil does not have jurisdiction over
that land which is outside the
Village. However, concerning the
use of detonating devices or the
possibility of round- the -clock
operation, it is felt the proper
safeguard concerning these ob-
jections had been included in
the Ordinance.
   Attorney William Wehr pre-
sented a scale model of the pro-
posed Wintersville Plaza to those
present and gave a history of the
deep mine whose depleted work-
ings underlay the surface of the
ground on which the Center is
to be built. He explained the
damage to the ground as a result
of the subsidence of the earth
into the worked out rooms, point-
ing out the need for the removal
of both the supporting walls con-
taining some coal and also re-
moval of the shafts in order to
provide a solid foundation on
which the building is to be built.
   Mr. Seiter assured Council
that the people he represented
were in support of the Shopping
Center and were only concerned
that the proper protection from
nuisance and damage to adjacent
properties be included in the
Ordinance. Additional comments
were made by Mrs. William Fitz-
gerald of Deborah Manor and Mr.
Geno Morelli, representing the
Chamber of Commerce, favoring
the construction of the Winters-
ville Plaza on the proposed site.
   Mayor   Petrozzi then gave
 council an opportunity to express
 an opinion of the proposed ordi-
 nance and each member in turn
 spoke of his concern to the type
 of legislation that would continue
 to provide the citizens of Win-
 tersville with the necessary pro-
 tection of homes and property
 value. The mayor then called for
 a vote to be taken and ordinance
 #727 was passed by the unanimous
 vote of Council. Mr. Petrozzi
 then congratulated council on its
 serious  consideration  of the
 issues involved and hailed pass-
 age of the ordinance as a great
 stride forward   towards   the
 economic growth of Wintersville.
   At the request of Police Chief
 Victor  Calabrese   and Street
 Committee   Chairman    Robert
 Snyder, a study is to be made
 of parking problems on through
 streets in the Village, because
 of difficulties incurred during
 the recent snow operation. The
 Ordinance    Committee    was


directed by Mayor Petrozzi, to
make a study of said situation
and report same at the next
meeting of Council. The Mayor
also commented on the necessity
of each property owner to keep
his sidewalk free of snow and
other  debris and urged the
Citizens to refrain from over-
night parking   on the Village
streets, especially during the
snow emergency.
  Council approved the install-
ation of an Inter-Office communi-
cation system to be completed by
the Ohio Bell Telephone Com-
pany, for the City Building.
  The next regular meeting of
Council will be held on Tues-
day, February 6, 1968, 7:30 P.M.
at the Wintersville City Building
on Leonard Avenue.


   Saxbe Outlines New

   Drunk Driving Law

   Ohio's new drunk driving law
provides that a physician or a
registered nurse withdraw blood
for the test but there are no
restrictions pertaining to the
testing of the urine or breath,
Attorney   General William  B.
Saxbe said.
  Saxbe, in a special bulletin to
Ohio police and prosecutors, em-
phasized that all substances must
be withdrawn from the subject
within two hours of the alleged
violation.

   Saxbe urged law enforcement
 officials to thoroughly acquaint
 themselves with Department of
 Health requirements for the test-
 ing.
   Small departments not having
facilities for the testing must
either acquire them or make
arrangements with other juris-
dictions, hospitals or private as-
sociations to provide them, Saxbe
said.
   The new law became effective
 January 1. It provides that per-
 sons failing to submit to the tests
 automatically have their driver's
 license revoked for six-months.

"Man Of The Year"


  William Stanley (Bill) Mazeroski, captain and second baseman for
the Pittsburgh Pirates, accepted the Upper Ohio Valley Dapper Dan
Club's, "Man of the Year" Award at the elaborate Club Banquet
held in the Community Arena Sunday evening. Danny Murtaugh,
former Pirate manager, presented the award to Mazeroski and
delighted the 765 guests with his Irish wit. Mazeroski, who gained
fame when he sealed the World Championship for the Pirates with
his game-winning homerun in the 1960 series, said in appreciation,
that he was being honored and paid for playing a game "which Pd
probably even play for nothing." His remarks to the audience in-
cluded a prediction, "It will be the Bucs all the way in 1968". The
banquet, acclaimed as one of the largest sports events in the area,
was highlighted with awards being presented to the biggest sports
names in the Ohio Valley.
