Training is underway in some cities in northeast Ohio as
officials and firefighters prepare for the changes related to the state’s new
law banning the use of plywood to board up some vacant and abandoned residential
properties in foreclosure.

The Idora Neighborhood Farmers Market
opens at 4:30 p.m. today for the season.

Over the past couple of years, the Valley has lost a lot of its
grocery stores, leaving many people without a place to get food. But, farmers markets are a great way to increase food access to those here in the Valley and to fuel the local economy.

Thanks to the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation's grass-cutting crew, the city has increased the annual number of lawns cut across the city to more than 10,000, and also cutting the cost to Youngstown.

Like animals stirring
from hibernation, the annual emergence of lawn mowers from their dingy winter
shelters is a reliable indicator that winter is finally gone.
