Students from �������� East Liverpool’s occupational therapy assistant program gathered at the downtown entrance ramp to the city to help spruce up the “serpentine” landscape of that area by pulling weeds, trimming shrubs, raking mulch and picking up litter.

Once finished, the students walked to The Locke House and cleaned up the landscaping and lawn at that location.  # # # Inside Photo: East Liverpool Mayor Ryan Stovall caught up with OTA students who were w...

In 2014, less than four years after Continental and United announced that the airlines were merging operations, the newly expanded United shut down its hub at Cleveland Hopkins Airport.

In the past decade, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati also lost their hub status. Beginning May 3 and airing on four consecutive Tuesdays, WK...

Following the flag-raising, drill team members performed a 21-gun salute. Over recent months, the front entrance was completely redesigned and renovated, which eliminated the previous flag pole. ...
