Resident Fred Bender appeared in Union Army uniform to recruit new members for the Sons of
Union Veterans of the Civil War, Camp 120. Mr. Bender pleaded with residents to check their genealogy to see
if they have any relatives who served in the Union Army. Those interested can contact Mr. Bender directly or
Commissioner Maggi,who spoke up, saying he too is a member.
Fern Siebert,Director of Clean and Tidy our County Inc.,pleaded with residents to volunteer saying
her organization has been overwhelmed with the collection of bottle caps and needs help cleaning and sorting.
Additionally,Ms. Siebert asked residents to be good stewards of the land and have more pride in our county.
Current donations made possible through cap collections include:
60 park benches
5 picnic tables
Several landscape tinders
And a bird bath
Clean&Tidy's Summer Sit& Sort is held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Monday,Tuesday and Thursday
at Shelter #1,Washington Park. Register by calling or texting 724-456-1780.
Resident Teddi Lombardi,Jefferson Township, addressed the board and community on behalf of the
area's family farmers regarding their concerns with increasing solar development and lithium-ion battery
storage sites in Washington County. She claimed solar energy companies are not really clean and green,but
rather taking advantage of tax incentives,which causes them to flip projects very quickly and not respect local
ordinances. Continuing, she said it is difficult to monitor these projects and there's no money to fight legally
resulting with the solar companies being willing to pay fines and leave behind the mess for local municipalities
to deal with. Ms. Lombardi said she was trying to be preventative rather than reactive and has contacted several
other municipalities,who are willing to help our county so we can be prepared.
COMMISSIONERS'RESPONSE
Mr. Sherman and Mr. Maggi both commended Ms. Siebert on her work and dedication to keeping the
county clean.
Mr. Sherman asked Ms. Lombardi to leave her contact information with his Administrative Assistant
so he could follow up with her.
