Fairmont City Approves New Zoning Change

The Fairmont City village board meeting started promptly at 7:00 p.m. with an opening prayer and the pledge of allegiance. Roll was taken, and Mayor Michael Suarez noted that old business wouldn’t be addressed as the owner was still needed for information. Village Clerk Killian Weir then handled new business. First up was a zoning ordinance for 4426 Cookson Road, to change the zoning to commercial from residential, which was unanimously passed by the council. The next item up for consideration was a business license application for Jose Ramirez for a dual business at the Cookson Road address being rezoned. Together with his wife, they will run a tax service and a photography studio in the back. Ramirez talked about how his wife’s studio had been open before COVID. The Fire Chief Robert Allen asked Ramirez to get in contact with him to schedule their inspection. The council voted unanimously to approve the application. The final item was a building permit application for an LED sign from the owner of Holy Rosary Church, which was also approved unanimously. The board then approved the minutes of the previous meetings. James Sehr, Village Inspector, didn’t have a report this meeting. Police Chief

‘Uncle Joe' comes home: Belleville soldier missing since Korean War identified

Joseph Alfred Platzkoester was 28 when he was reported missing in action during the Korean War on May 30, 1951. Seventy-five years later, “Uncle Joe” has been accounted for and is being honored. The U.S. Army sergeant from Belleville was serving in Company H, 2nd Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, when his unit encountered a severe enemy roadblock and came under heavy attack from Chinese communist forces near Inje, South Korea. According to military reports, the battalion pushed through, but Platzkoester was reported missing after the action. Subsequent searches of the area failed to locate him or his remains. During searches for missing U.S. service members in 1951, the 148th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company recovered a set of remains. The Central Identification Unit in Kokura, Japan, was unable to identify them. In 1956, they were transported to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu for interment as an “unknown.” In November 2023, as part of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency’s project to disinter all Korean War unknowns from the Hawaiian cemetery for possible identification, the remains were disinterred and sent to a DPAA laboratory for further study. DNA testing, laboratory analysis and the totality of circumstantial
