Coming off a tough week two match up against Western Reserve, Coach Tony Foster and the Bulldogs look to get things going in week three against Campbell Memorial.
YSN’s own D.J. Yokley sat down with Coach Foster this week to discuss what the Bulldogs can expect from Campbell but also what we can expect to see from the Bulldogs in this episode of East Palestine football Coach’s Corner with Coach Tony Foster.
Presented by:
EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- Did you know that currently, the state covers 12.5 percent of the taxes associated with the Beaver Local Renewal Levy?
This is true and if the levy does not pass before it expires this will not be the case taxpayers would have to pick up the other 12.5 percent based on legislation passed in 2013 for a levy that would replace the funding for this one.
https://www.toledoblade.com/…/Ohio-cancels-property-tax-rol…
The best explanation is if $100 dollars is the cost per mill to the taxpayer, currently, that taxpayer is paying 87.50 and the state is paying 12.50.
For example: in a new levy, the state would no longer pay the 12.50 and the residents would be on the hook to pay the full 100.
This is called the “Homestead Rollback” which was deemed to not be permitted for levies established after 2013.
Beaver Local will also be holding informational sessions called “Coffee and Conversation on May 1st and 2nd at Tim Horton’s in Calcutta.
YSN caught up with Beaver Local Superintendent of Schools, Eric Lowe, for a 1-on-1 sit down to discuss the importance and details of the upcoming vote.

They boys basketball team moved to 4-0 with a 66-56 win over undefeated Tallmadge.
The way the Raiders started the game set a tone that would last the whole night. Opening the first quarter on a 14-2 run the Raiders let everyone know they came to play. The Blue Devils wanted to play fast, and the only bad thing about the Raiders fast start was that it played into the Blue Devil’s hands. They began to speed up the Raiders offense and forced 5 consecutive turnovers to actually take a 16-14 lead at a point. From this point on the Raiders regrouped and regained control of the game. Tying the game at 16 before the end of the first frame was only the beginning.
The Raiders outscored the Blue Devils 17-10 in the second quarter lead by Jaxon Anderson who came into the game averaging 14.7 points a game. The Raiders gained a 7 point halftime lead at 33-26.
A fantastic effort from the Blue Devils Matt Francesconi kept them within striking distance for the entire second half. He scored a game high 27 points and hit three big second half shots to keep his team in it. Unfortunately his fortunes weren’t as good at the free throw line, getting there 12 times but only connecting on 6 shots. This helped the Raiders maintain a lead throughout the second half and go on to win 66-56.
The Raiders had 3 players in double figures with 2 others with 9 in their balanced offensive attack. Jaxon Anderson lead the way with 20, while Mike Cunningham added 12. For the second game in a row Chris Brooks was also in double figures with 11. The Raiders return to action Friday as they travel to Ursuline in their first true road game of the season. JV tips at 5:30.
