TSWCD to meet  on personnel

CORTLAND — The Trumbull Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors will hold a special meeting 4 p.m. today at the Trumbull County Agriculture and Family Education Center, 520 W. Main St. on personnel matters and other district business.

Event canceled due to weather

HOWLAND — The trail open house at the North Road Nature Preserve at Candlelight and Harvard drives originally scheduled for today has been canceled because of the weather.

Zachary Svette, operations director of the Trumbull MetroParks, said the area has gotten almost 4 inches of rain in the last two days and the trails are saturated.

He said foot or bike traffic would damage the trails at this point.

Svette said plans are to hold the open house the weekend after Halloween, weather permitting.

Death row moves for 3rd time

TOLEDO — Ohio is moving its death row for the third time in a little over a decade.

The state prison department told The Associated Press on Friday the change is being made to better deal with aging inmates on death row and reduce crowding at prisons around Ohio.

Prison officials say most of the 124 death row inmates will be transferred to a Toledo prison shortly.
