The Dickinson Rural Fire Department and the Stark County Sheriff's Office have responded to over a dozen grass/brush fires located along Highway 22 north and south of the airport area since the beginning of April. The drought conditions along with the high fire index creates optimal opportunity for a fire should there be an ignition source. The question remains clear: what’s going on the south side of Dickinson?

Juanita Collins still reaches to brace her daughter when an oncoming car doesn’t fully stop at an intersection.
The Alliance resident also slows way down when she drives through the intersection of state Route 619 and McCallum Avenue NE in Lexington Township. That’s where Collins was driving with her then 13-year-old daughter, Alyssa Barron, on Feb. 9 when another car failed to stop at a flashing red light and struck their vehicle.
The impact of the crash deployed the airbags and sent Collins’ car into a utility pole, which broke in half due to the impact.
Collins said she is thankful that she, Barron and the 19-year-old driver in the other car all had been wearing their seat belts. They each walked away from the crash with only cuts and bruises.
CANTON – The attorney for a Canton woman accused of making up her daughter s terminal illness is defending her actions and says she is being wrongly portrayed.
In an email to The Repository Friday afternoon, local attorney Paul Kelley stated his client, Lindsey Abbuhl, is a loving mother who cares deeply for this child and whom has gone to incredible lengths to protect her health and well-being.
Rylee Abbuhl, 11, was removed from her mom s custody in an emergency action on May 13 by the Stark County Sheriff s Office and social workers with the Stark County Division of Children Services. The latter stepped aside the next day because the child s father Lindsey s ex-husband Jamie Abbuhl had requested, and was granted, temporary custody by Family Court Judge Rosemarie Hall.
