The Four County Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services has approved a resolution that will lead to placement of a seven-tenths mill renewal levy on the ballot in November of this year. The action took place at their meeting on Thursday. The funding from this levy represents about 65% of the budget for Adams board services throughout the year, including mental health, addiction, family violence treatment, and prevention services.
This levy would be on the ballot in Defiance, Henry, Fulton and Williams Counties, where residents have approved the issue each five years, for a period of almost 40 years.

YOUNGSTOWN Miss Ohio 2019, Caroline Grace Williams, visited the Early Learning Center at the Jewish Community Center of Youngstown on Friday, joining the children for the Shabbat (Sabbath) service and reading books to them.
The ELC at the JCC of Youngstown seeks to nourish every child’s natural curiosity and excitement for learning through unique experiences, while allowing each child to develop at their own pace.
“The ELC values literacy as an incredibly important part of a child’s development,” said Hunter Thomas, early childhood and youth co-director. “Regularly reading aloud to children is one of the best ways for children to develop language and literacy, and we are so glad that Caroline was able to take time out of her busy schedule to visit us and experience the joys of Shabbat with us.”
