Home Savings will pay for the meter parking on the streets surrounding the Youngstown State University campus through Friday. Classes resume Wednesday.
This is the fourth year Home Savings has paid for the parking to welcome students back to school and to save them time the first week. “As a local bank, it is important to us that we give back to the communities that we serve,” said Colleen Scott, vice president of marketing. “We want the faculty and students at YSU to know how important they are to us.”
Pretrial continued
STRUTHERS
A judge had granted the continuance of the pretrial of Gust Mamounis, 38, of Struthers. The pretrial, originally scheduled for Monday, is now set for 1:15 p.m. Sept. 10 in municipal court here.
Mamounis pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated menacing at an arraignment June 19. A police report says Mamounis followed a group of children along Elm Street while brandishing a loaded gun. Police said he threatened to kill the children and used racial slurs.
