EAST PALESTINE People lined up at the new satellite location for The Way Station Thursday. The blue bins placed outside earlier in the week were already filled with retail goods donated by the community.
“I think it’s a great source for the donors to be able to recycle items verses putting them in our landfills, but I also think it’s a great source for thrift shoppers and those on our discount clothing program,” stated Chaney Nezbeth, executive director of The Way Station.

LISBON Improvements to two early county cemeteries, a pollinator garden and a lighted fountain were approved projects receiving grant funding through the county’s land bank.
The Columbiana County Land Reutilization Corp. board this week chose three of the seven projects throughout the county that applied to receive the first round of beautification grants.
Although the land bank had planned to approve a grant up to $5,000, in the end the board determined all three of the final projects were worthy investments in the community. The three projects total $11,450.
The first project, presented to the board by Center Township Trustee Rex Underwood, was improvements to two historic cemeteries Gaskill Cemetery on Mattix Road and Lee Cemetery on Lisbon-Millport Road just outside of Scenic Vista Park.
