 Stark County’s boys basketball season didn’t start like everyone else’s. “We felt like we had some disadvantages before the holidays with shortened practices because of football and then the accident situation,” said head coach Jade Noard. “We kept preaching to our kids we want to get through this until Christmas when we would have a full week to practice.”
The Rebels have started their conference season off the right way with five straight victories to remain a perfect 5-0.
“They’ve taken a lot of pride in defending their conference title,” said Noard. “I thought our kids did a good job believing, which is tough when you start 2-7, you can go down in the dumps. But we kept telling them there are better times to come.”

 The car wash and coin laundry facility located at 120 S Galena Ave in Wyoming has been renamed Clean Getaway by new owners Sheila and Mike Rumbold. The Rumbold’s have already been hard at work making some major improvements to the facility and have a number of ideas that they plan on implementing in the future. One of the biggest changes is in the automatic bay at the car wash, which now has some of the newest technology available. An entirely new system utilizing tri-foam, all laser technology with two wand delivery was installed. The system will allow for the best possible high pressure cleaning and is better at making sure that the soap is all rinsed off during the rinse cycle. The technology is so modern, in fact, that Wyoming is one of the first five car washes to have the system installed.

“Cloudy Sunday Brings New Hope”

 There are two things I am sure of, and that’s how much I love technology and how great small towns are, especially in the face of danger and tragedy. I live in Florida, and hours after a fire broke out in my home town of Bradford, I knew about it. This event happened to be very near and dear to me, as my friend was directly involved. I also believe in hope and looking at the bright side of things. And I see a lot of that here... Green Gables, Inc. caught fire early Sunday morning and by the time the flames were extinguished, it was nearly a loss. Green Gables is a furniture factory at the south edge of Bradford. The physical part of the business is gone, but the name and the spirit of the owners and employees flourishes. They employ 35 and in a community of under 800- that’s quite a few!
