The Lawrence County Humane Society handles hundreds of cats and dogs yearly in a county with the region’s lowest adoption rate and highest euthanasia. Officials defend the numbers as not fully comparable to other areas, noting open access and dedicated volunteers.
The Lawrence County Humane Society can house about 50 animals at a time. In a regional audit of 10 western Pennsylvania counties, it had the lowest adoption rate and highest euthanasia rate. It has a yearly budget around $90,000 with $4,000 to $5,000 from county funds and the rest from contributions. The organization operates with a 10 member board and is located on Pearson Mill Road. Phone: 654-8520.
New Castle City Councilman Mark Elisco urged Councilwoman Patricia May to resign, saying her immediate removal would help the body work better and govern more effectively. He warned he would walk out during her public comments if she did not quit, and he asked others to join him.

eCity councilman Rick De Blasio last night urged President Robert Bullano to stop the contract awarded for the Cascade Park walking trail. Page references noted as pages 3 and 12.
Architect David A. Esposito supports the board’s plan to replace the aging high school with a new building at the existing site, a move opposed by a local group called People for Community Integrity who argue for renovating the old structure due to its historical value and the demolition of 15 nearby houses.
Lawrence County Treasurer Gary F. Felasco has assumed control of the tax claim bureau. The salary board abolished the position of assistant tax claim director held by Dorothy Regan who retired. Regan was demoted in January when Felasco sought to become bureau director. The board also created a second deputy treasurer at 23500 and established an executive clerk position at the union base rate of 15250. Marguerite Mooney will move to the treasurer’s office with the same pay.
Felasco plans internal promotion to fill a vacant county position after posting other roles per the union contract. He says the move would save the county 11,500, the difference between Regan’s 35,000 wages this year and a 23,500 salary for the new post, plus an additional 14,500.
The Lawrence County Salary Board tentatively approved a three year pact with Laborers District Council of Western Pennsylvania Local 964 for 49 jail employees.
