County roundup: Paris tornado siren back in operation, plus news from Rootstown

Paris

The Paris Township Trustees voted to purchase a monitor pager for the township’s tornado warning siren at a cost of $600. The siren does not work without it.

“The siren hasn’t been operable for a while,” township Trustee Dave Kemble said.


The annual Paris Township Spring Cleanup Day will be from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 11 at the Shearer Community Center at 9355 Newton Falls Rd. For more information and a list of items that will not be accepted, go to paris-township.com.


The annual township Memorial Day service will be at 1 p.m. Sunday, May 26 at Hawley Cemetery at 5881 McClintocksburg Rd. There will be a ceremony, a local minister, the township trustees, the Paris Township Fire Department and the Newton Falls American Legion.

Rootstown

Rootstown’s annual Memorial Day Parade will be Monday, May 27. Anyone interested in having a float in the parade should email the Rootstown Township Lions Club at [email protected].
