LISBON Changes to the way Ohio workshops operate for those with developmental disabilities have led to greater variety for the clients.
Superintendent Bill Devon of the Board of Development Disabilities said when the state changed from the BDD operating the workshops to more of an oversight role for the clients, he was uncertain about the change which was mandated by the state. In the past the BDD operated three workshops. Now there are 14 workshops in Columbiana County giving people more choices for the types of work they want to learn and the facility that best fits their needs throughout the county.

LISBON While the courthouse elevator is down, county commissioners said Wednesday they will continue to make every effort to give those with disabilities access to the courthouse.
Chairman Tim Weigle said the commissioners understand the courthouse needs to be ADA compliant and are working on the problem. However, the parts needed to fix the elevator cannot be made quickly enough to accomplish that immediately.
The parts to repair the elevator include replacement of a cylinder and possibly the piston inside it, which sit below the elevator and push it up. The parts are about 45-feet long and may need to be custom made and then assembled below the elevator shaft.
