The program pays 80 percent of a vehicle's cost with local agencies paying the remainder from nonfederal sources. Social agencies and state-approved public bodies in Portage and Summit counties and Chippewa Township in Wayne County may seek this aid if they are registered with the Ohio secretary of state's office and provide transportation services to the elderly or people with disabilities. Financial aid also is available for special equipment purchases such as vehicle, wheelchair lifts or ramps. Program funds cannot be used for operating costs such as fuel, maintenance or driver salaries. The Maplewood Career Center Evening High School program will start early next month.
Courses are available to all high school students in Ohio.
The catered dinner will include music performed by the choir and by the Stow Choir, too. Also, a presentation of love songs will be performed by professional singers Todd and Catherine Robison-Ranney. Money raised from the event will help pay for the students' upcoming trip to Boston. Taylor Memorial Public Library will host a forum tomorrow to help residents sort out the various offers for natural gas service. The library also will have tax counselors on hand from 1 to 4 p.m. every Thursday and Friday from Feb. 1 to April 13 to help residents with their tax forms.
