Regulators to update residents on odors

LORDSTOWN

State and local regulators will meet at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the administration center, 1455 Salt Springs Road, to update residents on efforts to eliminate nuisance odors originating from the Lordstown Construction Recovery (LCR) Landfill.

Over the past year, the Ohio EPA, the Trumbull County Health Department and the Mahoning-Trumbull Air Pollution Control Agency have received numerous odor complaints from residents living in the vicinity of LCR’s construction and demolition debris landfill at 6205 Palmyra Road in Warren.

Along with frequent monitoring and inspections, the agencies have been working with the facility to correct the problem.

Decorations damaged

BOARDMAN

Over the weekend, township police handled several calls from residents who reported theft and damage to their holiday decorations.

Three reports came from Doncaster Drive residents. One reported that someone knocked over and destroyed decorations in his yard, such as a lighted “Noel” sign, Christmas tree and light-up penguins.

A neighbor reported that Christmas lights had been torn from her bushes, and another resident of the street told police someone had unplugged and pulled strands of lights off an outdoor Christmas tree.

A West Boulevard resident also reported to police that a snowman decoration – donned in a black hat and red scarf – was stolen from her front yard.
