Local Shrine gives $4,000 to hospital Hal Harkness is looking forward to seeing his pride-and-joy, this 1934 Porter steam locomotive, roll down the tracks of the Buckeye Central i-Scenic Railroad. (Jeff Bell, The Advocate) engine revives history Locomotive debuts on Buckeye Central Scenic Railroad NEWARK Richard G. Ober-holtzer, president of the Licking County Shrine Club representing The Illustrious Potentate Harold Cochrun of the Aladdin Shrine Temple, recently presented a check for $4,000 to William Andrews, president of Licking Memorial Hospital. This contribution came from the Aladdin Crippled Children's Hospital Association, Inc. Every year the Aladdin Crippled Children's Hospital Association, through Aladdin Shrine Temple, contributes thousands of dollars to many local hospitals and organizations to help children in the local communities.

This check brings the amount to $25,785 that has been contributed to Licking County during the last 10 years. The largest contribution from can smell the smoke and hear the bell, the whistle and the chug-a-chug sound. Something is always in motion "The old engineers would call them 'iron stead' or 'iron They said they were temperamental. Somedays the engine would go over the hill better than others." Harkness doubts if he ever will tackle another steam locomotive project because of the time and money involved. But he is happy to see the old Porter purring down the Buckeye Central tracks.

"The purpose was to see it restored and see it operated again," he says. "Musuems are fine but there's nothing better than actually seeing it work," 1950s. Harkness' scrapbook shows he acquired a squat-looking, rusted locomotive. It was a far cry from the sleek, freshly painted engine that will roll down the Buckeye Central tracks. "A lot of it is was my vision of what I thought one should look like," says Harkness, who based some of his redesign work on pictures of old locomotives.

"We put it back together in the style of the late 1800s and early 1900s with the decorative paint and brass." Steam locomotives dominated American transportation for over a century, ruling the rails from around 1825 to the mid-20th Century. They were replaced by more efficient diesel engines. But Harkness says those diesels never will match the steam locomotive for romance. "They're alive," he says. "You make its debut this weekend, according to Rob Miller, Buckeye Central president.

The railroad will lease the locomotive from the Appalachia Rail Equipment Co. of which Harkness is president. We didn't have that kind of engine and they didn't have a railroad," Miller says of the lease agreement. Not too many places have the type of steam-powered locomotive that Harkness has restored. He and a partner found it rusting away in Gas City, about five years ago.

They bought it and started restoring it shortly af-tei ward in an old garage near Parkersburg. The Porter was built in Pittsburgh. It was used for industrial chores in plants in Pennsylvania until being retired in the late pave 8 highways THE'S to Ohio 16; Hickman Road from County Road 668 to Ohio 79; Loches Road from St. Louisville to County Road 209; and Flint Ridge Road from County Roads 311 to 668.

"In terms of mileage, this is the largest paving program we have had in quite a while," Lollo said. 00- the Aladdin Shrine Temple goes to the Shrine's National Program, which is Shriners' hospitals for crippled and burned children. The first Shriners' Hospital was opened in Shreveport, in 1922. Since then they have grown to 19 orthopaedic hosptials for crippled children and three burn institutes. The budget for the operation of these 22 hospitals for 1992 is $306 million.

The money comes from several sources including gifts, bequests, income from the endowment fund, hospital fund-raising events and the annual hospital assessment paid by every Shriner.
