Downed tree closes alley near school During a recent storm, a large tree was uprooted in an alley behind the Fine Arts room at Carrollton High School. The tree also brought down several cable lines across the school parking lot. Yellow caution tape was hanging on the downed
wires until the company was able to make the repairs. The alley behind the school was closed for about two weeks. As of Monday, June 17, the village has trimmed the tree off the alley and the wires have been repaired. The alley is open once again.
Malvern council to review proposed 2020 budget Commissioners discuss By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
Malvern Council was presented a proposed budget showing revenue expected to be $258,450. The expenses are estimated to be $238,350 for the coming year. Fiscal Officer Ashley Neading presented the proposed budget and told council they must adopt the budget by July 15. Council members were asked to review the proposed budget. Following more reports of feral cats in the village, council member Barb Burgess says she
has called the health department seeking assistance or a referral to help capture some of these feral cats. “The village has tried. The health department said they couldn’t do anything,” said Burgess. Following up on the Citrus Road trailer park that still owes the village more than $22,000 in past due water, it was reported that there is a buyer interested in the property but the liens on the property exceed the purchase price. Village solicitor Chad Murdock stated he had discussed a settlement on the water bill with the current owner. Mur-
dock recommended they ask the owner to make an offer to settle the long overdue water bill. In other matters council: - LEARNED that several water line breaks have occurred and been repaired on East Main Street. - HEARD that the village garage is ready for movie night in the park this summer. - RECEIVED a quote to replace the roof on Village Hall at a cost of $5,516. Discussion continued regarding the removal of the old chimney at the same time. Miller Construction was approved to replace the roof with a steel roof.
MARKINS from PG. 1 roll County Courthouse notified Cooke that Markins had received an early release from jail where he was serving a 180day sentence. Markins was to report immediately to the Adult & Teen Challenge of Ohio Valley program in Youngstown. Markins did show up. But according to Cooke, while they were in the middle of the paperwork with Markins for his admission to the facility, he got up and left. A worker at the help center said Markins said “this isn’t for
me” and left. On May 31, the court was notified that Markins had walked away. A bench warrant was issued by Carroll County Common Pleas Court on May 31 for the immediate arrest of Markins. A long list of community sanctions had been placed on Markins if he was released from jail early. Repella, during the sentencing hearing, told Markins very clearly that if he violated any of the terms of his probation, Markins would serve the
full term of his jail sentence. Markins was to be admitted to the drug and alcohol treatment center for one year after his release from jail. He was also ordered to get a job and to earn his GED. When Markins is apprehended he will not be returned to the county jail but will serve the rest of his jail term in an Ohio prison. “This isn’t right. He pleaded guilty. He admitted he needed help and now he just walks away,” said Cooke.
