Proponents of the proposed retail development see it as a boon to the city's economy. The projected residential development will attract new families to a city where single- family building lots are almost nonexistent. The plan would preserve the best of the old - Hoover Park Wastewater renovations fall behind schedule By GINNY ADAMS Sun Journal Community Editor HARTVILLE-The $1.1 million waste water treatment plant improvements may not make the Feb 1 completion date, according to a report submitted to Hartville Village Council. Council was informed Jan. 2 that the scheduled completion date of may have to be amended because of adverse weather conditions during lecent weeks. The .improvements, specified ■ New Hartville mayor to / carry oh tradition ... See page 3 under Environmental Protection Agency guidelines, include installation of a new tank at the facility. The general construction project was awarded Dec. 20, .1994. to Stanley Miller Construction for, $886,913 and a $115,785 electrical contract to Thompson Electric, A temporary budget appropriation of $1,119,363 was approved for 1996 until a final budget can be established. Council has three months to accept a final budget. Council also approved a four percent increase for engineering consulting services from C.T. Consultants, The previous contract had been for $340 a month but council approved a new monthly fee of $355. Under the contract, the consultants are available during council meetings, and for village projects. Hartville will contribute $17,500 towards the hiring of a Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) police officer for the Lake Local School District. The schools will contribute $2,500 and Lake Township Trustees have approved contributing $17,500 towards hiring the DARE officer. The W&R Railroad has informed council that the railroad crossing at East Maple and North Prospect has been completed. The blacktop will be included with future village paving projects. Council approved splitting a lot at 600 Woodland. The new lot will be rezoned as Rl - Single Family. During departmental reports, council was informed that six. trees have been planted on East Maple and seven additional will be added inthefuture. and the Hoover Historical Center - while adding a city park and land for Walsh University, they say. But others look at the same plan and see the dark side of growth. While these people applaud the new park and preservation efforts, they question the need and the size of the area set aside for retail. Commercialism, they say, will irreversibly damage the traditional quality of life in North Canton. They predict lines of traffic as long as eternity. They are con cerned about crime and diminished property values. They predict a domino-effect that will lead to satellite commercial area - a mini- Belden Village in the midst of a residential community. It is now the responsibility of pity council to determine with which vision it will guide North ponton's future. { Council set 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 12, at the North Canton Civic JCenter, West Maple Street, for a bublic hearing on the rezoning package submitted by The Hoover Company. The rezoning plan was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission on Jan. 3. The Planning Commission vote came after a lengthy public hearing that drew a crowd estimated at 150 to the North Canton Civic Center. Members of Residents Against the Maytag Mall (RAMM), a citizens group opposed to the size of the commercial development, are skeptical about the outcome of council's deliberations.

(Sun Journal photo by Ken Miller) men have gone on record in favor Of the proposed rezoning plan. '-''' Second Ward Councilman Greg Sarbach said he favors the plan but '•' wants it "to go through the process to see if any new light will be shed" by citizens other than those who have already expressed their opin-" ions." '.' RAMM spokesperson Kathy' Magel said in a phone interview that there is "room to negotiate dif-' ferences." - «.

See ANNEX on page 2 LakeTwp. § zoning issue placed on March ballot By BETTY O'NEILL-RODERICK Sun Journal Correspondent LAKE TWP. - The rezoning of ; approximately 8.5 acres on tha ; west side of Pleasantwood Avenue,. > north of Mt. Pleasant Street in the ' southwest section of Lake Town- ; ship, will be on the March 19 ballot. ; At a special meeting Wednesday < evening, Lake Township trustees ., passed a resolution to place Zoning ,': Amendment 95-147-ZA on the bal- ; lot. The amendment authorizes the ;; rezoning Residential Low Density >• Two Family District to an Adminis-v 'tfativeBuilerDistrict'.' V"" The Lake Township Zoning Commission and Stark County Regional Planning Commission have recommended approval of the zone change. However, residents of Pleasant- wood Avenue voiced opposition to the rezoning, and subsequently circulated petitions asking that the issue be decided by voters. Although the tract is zoned for multi- family dwellings, there are a number of single-family dwellings already present, and owners feel the rezoning could hurt the resale value of their homes. Trustee Sue Ruley reiterated the board's position that an Administrative Buffer is the best zonijjg. for the district, which is located adjacent to the township's Industrial Park. The buffer zone would allow for office buildings, research facilities and other office-type structures, with landscaping required,: and parking in the rear of the: building. . t "There is no single family zoning in the immediate area," Ruley said, See TRUSTEES on page 2 Snow days no holiday for school schedule By JOANNE MALENE Sun Journal Correspondent Stark County school children woke up Monday morning to hear local radio stations pronouncing a familiar litany of school closings. North Canton, Lake, Plain, Jackson ... the list went oh and on. Many students were delighted, looking on the Monday snow day as a special bonus since exams for most schools start next week. School administrators, though/iexpressed concern, since state law allows each; school district, including individual schools, only five calamity days per school year. North Canton, Plain, Lake, Jackson, Central Cathblic and St. Thomas Aquinas High Schools have already used four days and it is still early in the winter. If a school district closes for more than the alloted five days for reasons such as the weather, lack of heat, burst water pipes or vandalism, the students are required to make up the missed days. According to Thomas Shoup, superintendent of North Canton City Schools, it is up to the individual district to decide the dates of the extra contingency days. North Canton's dates are already scheduled on the school calendar. Peggy McClain, director of curriculum for North Canton Schools, said "If the district uses just five days we are OK It is after we use the fifth day, that the contingency days come in. If we have a sixth snow day, then March 15 would be the first contingency day. Instead of having the day off, students would go to school. June .7 is the contingency day for the seventh snow day,, followed by April 12, April 11 and April 10." „ Shoup noted that closing schools is not an; easy decision. '-.— ' "It has gotten more complicated. We hiive; vocational kids traveling from other districts and our kids going somewhere else. It's a djjci-. sion that if you have until 10 a.m. to make it, you make it right. But obviously our time period for decisions is well before 10 a.m." One of the things North Canton Schools want to examine is the notification policy. Just about' See CLOSINGS on pag? 2 Family is vital key in locking out drug abuse' Battle against drugs begins with parenta!teaching children to resist temptation By GINNY ADAMS Sun Journal Community Editor The family is the vital key to locking out drug 'abuse, according to a former drug dealer and abuser. "It starts at home," said the former dealer, whose identity cannot be revealed because'of fear of retaliation from those1 inside the drug business. -V'' "Before the children go to school, parents must be1 ttbhest what's going on in the'streets," the dealer said. "And if the parents are not j streetwise, they had better get j wise." The former dealer told how stu- -,• dents in need of money become o easy targets of drug "businessmen" "'• wanting to recruit dealers among j; the young. 'They (the dealers) become a i friend. They "want to help' the stu- - dent by offering cash to the stu- -i dent, They'll, give them maybe $20 0 and tell them there's no strings._.,-. But there really are no free rides. "They pull out a knot of money, a thick roll of bills. It enticed me," said the former-crack user who accepts the fact that the lure of a Second in a series crack-high will be a daily struggle. The current drugs of preference of many North Canton, Jackson, Lake, Peny, Plain and other nearby area youth is marijuana and LSD, according to undercover officers of the Stark County Metro Narcotics Unit. "The kids buy "blunts,' which are those big cigars which have the tobacco taken out of them and are filled with,marijuana. They are enough for fiye or six joints," The large.cigars, or blunts, are re-rolled in the.outer wrappers and look like a normal cigar. Because of scientific cultivation, the potency of each joint equates to about 15 times that,9f|aJoint rolled in the 60s, according to narcotics officers. .,.
