Financial health indicators released
Staff Report

COLUMBUS — Gallia and
Meigs counties have shown
increases in a number of cautionary indicators according to
Ohio State Auditor Dave Yost’s
ofﬁce.
These indicators function as
a way to monitor the ﬁnancial
well being of local governments and provide feedback to
better manage budgets.
In 2015 Gallia County had
a cautionary indication for
condition of capital assets; a
marker that indicates the state
of material assets owned by

the county. According to ohioauditor.gov, an increased percentage in this marker shows
an imminent need to replace
assets, causing an impending expense that the budget
will have to account for. This
marker was also present in the
2016 report as cautionary.
In 2016, Gallia also received
a cautionary warning for a
decline in General Fund Property Tax Revenue. This indicates less income from property taxes, which as a result is
less money the local government has to use. A decrease
in this area is marked as cau-

tionary when the decrease is
greater than one percent and
less than 20 percent.
Meigs County only had one
cautionary indicator in 2015;
indicator 13 which functions
along with 14 and 15 to mark
the number of days a local government can be sustained on
unrestricted net assets. This
indicator was changed to positive for the 2016 report.
For 2016, Meigs also had
two cautionary indicators.
A cautionary indicator in
decrease in property tax
revenue: Gallia county also
had this marker. Meigs also

showed a cautionary indicator
for Unassigned Fund Balance
of the General Fund. This
indicator shows when a budget has declining or negative
unassigned fund balance. This
is used as a ﬁnancial health
indicator because those unassigned funds can be used to
manage unexpected expenses.
Nine cities and one county
are showing signs of ﬁnancial
stress for ﬁscal year 2016, with
nearly two-thirds of Ohio’s
county governments showing
an increase in the number of
“critical” or “cautionary” warnings, according to the second

annual “Financial Health Indicators” report.
Auditor of State Dave Yost
in January unveiled the ﬁrst
Financial Health Indicators
(FHI) to gauge the ﬁscal
health of Ohio’s 88 counties
and 247 cities and help them
avoid a ﬁscal crisis. The 17
indicators are based on ﬁnancial data provided by cities
and counties in their annual
ﬁnancial statements, providing
a snapshot of their ﬁscal health
based on a historical analysis
of other local governments

In 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen
(ROH’-ahl AH’-mun-suhn) and his team became
the ﬁrst men to reach the South Pole, beating out
a British expedition led by Robert F. Scott.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson vetoed an
immigration measure aimed at preventing “undesirables” and anyone born in the “Asiatic Barred
Zone” from entering the U.S. (Congress overrode
Wilson’s veto in Feb. 1917.)
In 1918, “Il Trittico,” a trio of one-act operas by
Giacomo Puccini, premiered at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House. (The third opera, “Gianni
Schicchi (SKEE’-kee),” featured the aria “O Mio
Babbino Caro,” which was an instant hit.)
In 1936, the comedy “You Can’t Take It With
You” by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart
opened on Broadway.
In 1946, the United Nations General Assembly
voted to establish the U.N.’s headquarters in New
York.
In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Heart of
Atlanta Motel v. United States, ruled that Congress was within its authority to enforce the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 against racial discrimination
by private businesses (in this case, a motel that
refused to cater to blacks).
In 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Harrison Schmitt
and Eugene Cernan concluded their third and ﬁnal
moonwalk and blasted off for their rendezvous
with the command module.
In 1981, Israel annexed the Golan Heights,

In 1986, the experimental aircraft Voyager,
piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, took off
from Edwards Air Force Base in California on
the ﬁrst non-stop, non-refueled ﬂight around the
world.
In 1996, a freighter lost power on the Mississippi River and barreled into the Riverwalk complex
in New Orleans; miraculously, no one was killed.
Ten years ago:
A man accused of being the Phoenix Baseline
Killer was sentenced to 438 years in prison for the
sexual assaults of two sisters. (Mark Goudeau was
tried in 2011 for the slayings of eight women and
a man in 2005-2006; he was convicted and sentenced to death.)
Five years ago:
A triumphant North Korea staged a mass rally
of soldiers and civilians to glorify the country’s
young ruler, Kim Jong Un, two days after the successful launch of a satellite into orbit.
One year ago:
President-elect Donald Trump convened a summit at Trump Tower for nearly a dozen tech leaders whose industry largely supported Democratic
nominee Hillary Clinton; the CEOs included
Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Eric Schmidt, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Tesla’s Elon Musk. Donald
Trump announced his selection of former campaign rival Rick Perry to be secretary of energy.

that have been declared
in ﬁscal distress.
“The aim is to provide
communities and counties with advance warning of looming ﬁnancial
difﬁculties so that they
can take steps to halt and
reverse these trends,”
Auditor Yost said.
For 2015, no counties
triggered enough cautionary or critical indicators to suggest ﬁscal
stress is occurring. For
2016, Morgan County
met the threshold for
ﬁscal stress based on historic trends. Three counties (Hocking, Jackson
and Vinton) are showing
early signs of ﬁscal stress
and may be two to three
years away from experiencing ﬁscal stress based
on current conditions.
One county (Lawrence)
is a single indicator away
from facing an elevated
state of ﬁscal stress.
As was the case last
year, nine cities have
ﬁnancial indicators
showing ﬁscal stress in
2016: Akron, Canton,
East Cleveland, Girard,
Lorain, Maple Heights
and Norwood, which
showed ﬁscal stress in
2015, and Fostoria and
Parma Heights. Six cities
(Alliance, Martins Ferry,
North College Hill,
Upper Sandusky, Warren and Zanesville) are
showing early signs of
ﬁscal stress and may be
two to three years away
from experiencing ﬁscal
stress, based on their
current ﬁnancial data
and trends. Thirteen
cities — Belpre, Cincinnati, Elyria, Galion, Garﬁeld Heights, Kenton,
Lebanon, Lima, New
Philadelphia, Riverside,
Springdale, Springﬁeld
and Youngstown — are
a single indicator away
from facing an elevated
state of ﬁscal stress.
“Our cities and counties are generally wellmanaged,” Auditor Yost
said. “Unfortunately,
those leaders sometimes are challenged by
ﬁnancial factors beyond
their control: A major
employer downsizing
or relocating, or reductions in federal or state
funding. They’re working
hard to be good ﬁnancial
stewards, but it’s clear
there is elevated ﬁnancial
stress in many of our
local governments.”
According to county
data, 55 of the 88 counties (62.5 percent)
had more critical and
cautionary indicators in
2016 than in the prior
year, while 23 percent
(20 of 88) showed
improvement. Fiscal
stress for 10 counties,
or 11 percent, was
unchanged, and data
for three counties were
incomplete because of
inconsistent accounting
bases in ﬁnancial statement presentation.
Data show 111 of the
247 cities (45 percent)
had more critical and
cautionary indicators
in 2016 than in the
prior year, while 44
percent (108 of 247)
showed improvement.
Totals for 21 cities were
unchanged, and data for
seven were incomplete.
There was a change
regarding how pension
liabilities are reported by
the entities in 2016 that
could have generated a
false “negative” for some
cities and counties in
Indicator 1and possibly
Indicators 3 and 13.
The conditions include
“critical outlook,” “cautionary outlook” and
“positive outlook.” They
are color-coded like a
stop light, as red, yellow
and green.

Holidays a time to connect
OHIO VALLEY — There’s
no place like home for the
holidays. And since families
gather this time of year, it’s a
good time for a reality check on
how aging parents and loved
ones are really doing. Are folks
struggling with the day-to-day
tasks of cooking, forgetting to
take medications or perhaps
suffering from mild depression
or other conditions? The role
of family members in watching
out for their elderly relatives is
highlighted during the holidays.
“We always see an increase

in community needs during the
holidays,” said Jennifer Westfall, Buckeye Hills Aging &amp; Disability Director. “When family
members reconnect, especially
those from out-of-town, they
often notice changes in aging
loved ones.”
Today, more than one in four
adults in America is caring for a
loved one who needs help - usually a parent. The situation is so
common that AARP released a
checklist of tips and questions
to simplify observing how Mom
and Dad are doing. Get the

checklist at www.buckeyehills.
org/aging. Once a family has
taken stock of what might be
needed to support a loved one
in the home, the Buckeye Hills
Aging &amp; Disability Division
can help connect the aging and
their caregivers to home and
community-based resources.
“To help families with their
challenges and to provide essential resources, we are available
to help,” said Westfall. “We
have certiﬁed staff specialists
in aging information and assistance ready to help caregivers

Belles and Beaus club celebrate Christmas

and families connect to services. An assessor will come to the
home for a free, no obligation
visit. They will do an assessment of what kinds of help the
person might need or what they
can use.”

Model UN team excels at state
REEDSVILLE — Eastern’s
Senior Model United Nations
team participated in the statewide Ohio Model UN in Columbus this week. The Eastern team,
representing Cape Verde, brought
home a leadership award for
Hannah Damewood and the Outstanding Service Award for the
team’s generosity to the International Outreach Program, which
supports a school in Nigeria.
The Model UN program provides for each team to act as
delegates for their chosen nation.
The students research a problem and write a resolution to be
presented at the year-end conference. Throughout the year the
students prepare to debate with
other schools “countries” on the
merits of the resolutions while
speaking in defense of their own.
Over 200 teams from across the
state participated in this year’s
event.
Model UN conferences are run
by students and follow the actual
United Nation’s General Assembly procedures. Teams earn
points according to the quality of
their resolution, their debate performance, a cultural project, and
for individual leadership.
Senior team members are Andy
Brooks, Garrett Rees, Hannah
Damewood, Katie Ridenour,
Emmalea Durst, Morgain Little
and Heather Ridenour.

Southern, 65-61
By Alex Hawley

GLOUSTER, Ohio — Sometimes even the best
of offensive performances aren’t enough.
The Southern boys basketball team hit 10 threepointers and shot over 45 percent from the ﬁeld on
Tuesday evening in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division showdown at White Gymnasium, but
that couldn’t stop host Trimble from handing the
Tornadoes their ﬁrst setback of the season, by a
69-64 ﬁnal margin.
Southern (3-1, 1-1 TVC Hocking) led the hosts
by a 19-14 count eight minutes into play, but the
Tomcats (2-0, 2-0) outscored the Purple and Gold
by an 18-12 clip in the second, giving the hosts a
32-31 halftime edge.
Trimble extended its lead by one point in the
third canto, outscoring SHS 12-to-11 in the period
to make the score 44-42. The Tornado offense

The fact the Pittsburgh Steelers coach can

a bonus.
Haden will attempt to practice for the AFC

removed from a fractured left leg that appeared to
put his season in jeopardy.
While Tomlin will wait to make a decision on
whether Haden will be available on Sunday when

Brady dominated Pittsburgh’s secondary in the
AFC championship game 11 months ago, picking
apart the Steelers’ zone defense while throwing for
384 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-17 romp
that wasn’t even that close.
