12th Annual <strong>NLMK</strong><br />

Pennsylvania Golf Outing<br />

The 12th annual <strong>NLMK</strong> Pennsylvania<br />

and Sharon Coating golf outing was<br />

held in Hubbard Ohio. 180 golfers<br />

were in attendance and ready to<br />

compete on the 30, 6 man teams.<br />

Scoring was pretty tight, with<br />

all the teams finishing with scores<br />

between 60 and 70. The winner<br />

was determined by a score-card<br />

playoff. The winning team was “Team<br />

Schmidt”, comprised of Fred Schmidt,<br />

Amanda Schmidt, Bill Schuller, Bill<br />

Jewel, Tom Wright and John Dowell.<br />

All and all you could not ask for a<br />

much better day, the weather was<br />

perfect, the food was great and the<br />

golf was competitive.<br />

<strong>NLMK</strong> Indiana Donates<br />

Funds for Cot<br />

Some Portage firefighters are<br />

going to have an easier time<br />

doing their jobs thanks to a<br />

recent donation. The department<br />

received a Stryker Power Pro Cot<br />

funded by a donation from <strong>NLMK</strong><br />

Indiana.<br />

The cot cost about $12,300, but<br />

fire officials said it will reduce<br />

firefighter injuries and increase<br />

patient comfort and security.<br />

PFD Assistant Chief Dan Kodicek<br />

said the cot “saves a man's back”<br />

by automatically lifting a patient.<br />

It is designed to hold 700 pounds<br />

instead of the 500 pound limit<br />

with present cots and has more<br />

maneuverability.<br />

“This is so important to me<br />

because back injuries are one of<br />

the leading causes of disabilities to<br />

firefighters. It will save the backs<br />

and knees of firefighters,” Lt. Chad<br />

Bogue said.<br />

Joe Gazarkiewicz, Director of<br />

Human Resources and Labor Relations<br />

at <strong>NLMK</strong> Indiana, said his company<br />

made the donation as a thank you for<br />

all the support the fire department has<br />

provided to his company.<br />

Portage, Indiana, is an<br />

industrial city with a<br />

population of around<br />

35,000 people, located on<br />

the shores of Lake Michigan.<br />

Portage is home to <strong>NLMK</strong><br />

Indiana.<br />

Chief Tom Fieffer said the cot will<br />

be stationed at Station 1.
