COLUMBIANA–The Columbiana Area Chamber of Commerce announced that the St. Patrick’s Day Celebration planned for March 14 has been canceled. The plan for social distancing previously accepted by the Columbiana County Health Department was sent to the state but was rejected due to concerns that an influx of spectators would violate “mass gathering” orders issued by Governer Mike DeWine. All designated viewing area and float payments will be refunded. The Columbiana Area Chamber of Commerce looks forward to being permitted to have fun events again in the future.

LISBON When those getting their COVID-19 vaccine doses at the Columbiana County Fairgrounds Vaccination Complex first enter the property, they are greeted by a group from the county Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
With 26 active members trained in various emergency and disaster preparedness, this group of volunteers is partnering with the Columbiana County Health Department for each of the clinics at the fairgrounds.
CERT Program Manager Debra Moore said providing traffic control for community events, food distribution programs and the COVID vaccination clinics is just a small portion of what the Columbiana County CERT group is trained to do.
Amato
LISBON After more than 40 years on the Columbiana County General Health District board, Dr. Jack Amato was not reappointed during the annual meeting of the advisory council on Monday night.
Fairfield Township Trustee Bob Hum and East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway made the motion and second to return Amato for another five-year term, but the motion failed by a vote of 13-8. Madison Township Trustee Wayne Chamberlain was among those who offered it may be time for someone new to fill that seat.
Health Commissioner Wes Vins pointed out the seat that Amato fills on the board is unique because he is the physician representative. Any replacement would need to be a physician. Vins was also concerned about leaving the health department without a physician on the board for any length of time.
