On The Calendar

Wow! Normally the fourth full week of the month is a kind of quiet time for meetings and such. Didn't happen this month with all the "special" meetings that were called. The Ohio Sunshine laws calls any meeting that is not regularly scheduled a "special" meeting. This past week Wellville Village Council, the Board of Education and Buckeye Water all got into the act. Top that with the winter cold weather and the daily fresh coating of snow...

The Wellsville Village Special Council Meeting on Monday is for Council to consider placing the proposed new WPD levy on the May Primary ballot. They're up against a filing deadline to get the paper work to Lisbon by Wednesday afternoon. Also there may be a discussion on the STAG funds included on the agenda.

Wednesday is also the filing deadline for all partisan candidates that wish to run for office and be on the May 3 Primary Election ballot. Anyone wishing to declare themself as a write-in candidate has to file by February 22. If you're not registered you have until April 4 to be eligible to vote in the Primary. In addition to the possible police levy Wellsville voters will be selecting candidates for a Mayor and four Council members.

It's McDonald week for the WHS basketball teams, weather permitting. They're coming to play in the Tiger's Den. It's time to support our Tigers big time for these games. On another note, dates have been set for the weather postponed Jackson Milton games. The Lady Tigers host Jackson Milton on February 17 and the Men do the same on February 25. Both games kick off with the Reserves at 6 PM.

Saturday the folks at the Library are having another popular card making program. Preregistration is required. The $10 cost is due at the time of registration and covers all supplies and a lunch. Call 330-532-1526 for all the details.

While you're worshipping at a church of your choice on Sunday morning slip a little prayer in for our Pittsburgh Steelers appearance in the Super Bowl later in the day. They're playing for the "stairway to seven". May the cheese in those cheese hats turn rancid!

Have a good week...
