LISBON Mixed reactions from fire and police chiefs have yet again halted a decision on a consolidated 911 dispatching center for the county.
County commissioner Tim Weigle brought the issue before the 911 emergency services committee during its Thursday meeting, although the idea of consolidating the five 911 dispatch centers has been in discussion since 2013. Weigle brought the issue back up after Sheriff Brian McLaughlin organized a meeting for public-safety answering point chiefs to discuss their thoughts about the potential consolidation. Despite the meeting, Weigle, who serves as committee chairman, said the issue is still being discussed outside of the committee and he wants everyone involved to weigh in on the decision.

A carryout pasta dinner will be served from 3-7 p.m. Friday at the Wellsville Sons of Italy, 327 Main St. The dinner is part of a benefit for Jeremiah Cole and his family. There also will be a Chinese auction, 50/50, a raffle for Alcatraz body modifications, gun raffle and other raffles as well. All proceeds will go to the Cole family. Jeremiah has been off work since Dec. 28 when he was diagnosed with Covid, and then was unable to return to work due to breathing issues from the virus. Then in early February his back went, necessitating emergency surgery at UPMC on his L3, L4 and L5 vertebrae. Organizers of the benefit say he come a long way but still has a long road to recovery ahead.
