Two men implicated in the March 15 quadruple fatality near St. Sebastian are still involved in court proceedings. They are:
• Staush M. Homan, 22, 582 N. Eastern Ave., St. Henry. He remains incarcerated at the Mercer County Jail on a $1 million bond pending a May 28 pretrial hearing.
ST. MARYS - The local district is in line to be the first in Ohio where handheld computers will be provided for each student. Next school year a pilot program for third-, fourth- and fifth-graders will begin for a hands-on assessment of the local initiative.
The St. Henry branch of the Mercer County Emergency Medical Service will receive a new ambulance, as Mercer County commissioners recently approved the $133,645 purchase.
