South Zanesville business heavily damaged by electrical fire
ZANESVILLE – A South Zanesville business wasn't a total loss after a June 6 fire, but it did receive an estimated hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of damage. The front portion of the Kelly Architectural Services building, located at 2960 Pinkerton Road, caught fire early in the morning, as the first responding fire departments, South Zanesville and Newton Township arrived at around 2:42 a.m. The fire had started working toward the building's back portion and spread into the main part of the business, and up into the second story, according to Russell Taylor, the South Zanesville Fire Department chief. One firefighter started closing doors to contain the fire better and first attacked it from the front. As more arrived, responders pincered the fire from the back, basement, and upper level. It was extinguished after about 40 minutes, Taylor noted. The building's front part will likely have to be torn down now, Russell added. He estimated at least $200,000 worth of damage and future repairs. No one was injured. The South Zanesville Fire Department ruled the cause as electrical, Taylor said. The fire was believed to have been generated from a piece of IT equipment, similar to a power strip. The fire is still under investigation by Kelly's insurance company. Washinton Township and Zanesville city Engines 1 and 2 and Ladder 1 also responded, along with Genesis Community Ambulance. Roseville's fire department was also dispatched. In total, around 24 firefighters worked on the scene. Responders cleared the scene around 5:02 a.m. More: William Thomas pleads guilty to assault and theft charges following fender-bender Shawn Digity is a reporter for the Zanesville Times Recorder.

Farewell, Alex: conceited, boomer (cartoon) banker
London | In October 1986, then-UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher launched her 'Big Bang' deregulation of the British economy. This propelled London, and the world, into a new era of financial sophistication – one in which traders, bankers and brokers were the new masters of the universe. As money began to slosh through the City of London, a new social category emerged from the wash: the yuppie. Conceited, materialistic and hedonistic, this breed was ripe for satire. Sure enough, it wasn't long before the City's denizens had their own caricaturists and chroniclers: Russell Taylor and Charles Peattie, the writer and illustrator of the Alex cartoon.
