Loader contest winner
LISBON -- Brent Rose of Hammondsville, a worker at the Ohio Department of Transportation's garage near Lisbon, won this year's district loader competition earlier this week.
Workers compete by moving back and forth, picking up and carrying objects, and maneuvering through tight places and putting objects in specific places.
Rose had a perfect score and the fastest time. He competed against 27 other workers from seven counties. Last year, he won the truck competition. Rose will go on to compete in the state competition at the state fairgrounds.
