CANTON A restaurant owner who wouldn t visit the Stark County Courthouse for a hearing because he would be required to wear a facial cover will have another week to comply with orders that his employees wear masks.
The Stark County Health Department has been trying to get the Lake Varsity Diner, at 13367 Cleveland Ave. NW in Lake Township, and owners Joe and Colleen Beasley to comply with state health department orders requiring restaurant employees to wear facial coverings.
Not wearing a facial covering or mask is considered a health nuisance.
In December, Stark County Common Pleas Court Judge Natalie Haupt issued a temporary injunction requiring the restaurant to comply. The order requires employees greeting and serving guests to wear masks.

As Stark County school districts prepare to get the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, many districts have announced plans to cancel classes or temporarily move to online learning.
Officials fear staff members could experience side effects, prompting them to call off and leave schools without the necessary staff to conduct a school day.
Massillon City Schools released its plan last week. Staff at Washington High School, the administrative office including preschool staff and transportation employees, are set to get their second dose on March 1 from the Massillon City Health Department.
Massillon students will have classes March 1 but all students will move to remote learning the rest of the week. Throughout the month, individual school buildings will move to remote learning after building staff gets their second dose.
Currently, Ohioans 65 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as high-risk health care workers, K-12 school staff and those with severe congenital, developmental, or early-onset medical disorders and disabilities.
The Stark County Health Department which serves county residents who don t reside in Canton, Alliance or Massillon is continuing to vaccinate those in the current 1B eligibility group, communication specialist Chris Cugini said in an email. Due to limited quantity and a large volume of folks still in the queue, we ask for patience as we call to schedule your appointment, he said.
The majority of clinics this week are devoted to those receiving the second dose of the two-shot vaccine, he said.
