Canal Fulton Chief Keeps Peace Amid First Bombing

Canal Fulton police chief Robert Zickefoose, 48, notes the town’s quiet life and low crime. He recalls the Sept. 20 pipe bomb attack on a Stark County Historical Society canal boat, calling it senseless and stressing the need for readiness despite the town’s usual calm. He works nights after 29 years at PPG Industries and raised five children with his wife since moving in 1955.
