You people who own houses in Poland and don't vote for school levies may be the stupidest people residing in Mahoning County.
The only thing that keeps property values in Poland from depreciating are its schools. It's really the only real asset that community has, and moreover, it's the only reason why new families move into Poland from other communities.
So quit cutting off your nose to spite your face. You'll make back the extra $90/yr. -- plus some -- on the sale of your home.
Best of luck to young Colin, though I hope he took more into consideration than just playing time. A degree from Miami opens more doors than a starting sophomore year.
Nothing against Brian Banfield, who is a fine educator and will make a top-notch athletic administrator, but this job should have been Rohan's.
As usual, most bad decisions in the school system fall heavily on the incompetence its languid superintendent, Dr. Robert Zorn, who should have retired -- or been forced out -- a long time ago.
Had Zorn spent more time at the high school (a common complaint of most teachers at PSHS) and less time doing, well...very little, he would have known that Steve Rohan's commitment to attaining this position was second-to-none.
During his time as baseball coach, Rohan scheduled the teams' games himself due to outgoing AD Myron Stallsmith's incompetence. He routinely got the field ready for gameday when the weather was inclimate due to the laziness of Poland's infamous maintenance crew, not to mention myriad other small acts, which made him the overwhelming deserved candidate for this position.
Shame on you, Dr. Zorn, for not listening. But then again, no one in Poland is really surprised.
Hagan wants Rush off air
Two questions:
1. Why is this a news story?
2. Who does Bob Hagan think he is? Vladimir Putin?
One reminder directed at the not-so-savvy editor(s) of The Vindicator who thought this story was fit to print:
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
Finally, Vladimir Hagan came for The Vindicator..."

Poland’s Reardon happy with switch to Kent St.
Best of luck to young Colin, though I hope he took more into consideration than just playing time. A degree from Miami opens more doors than a starting sophomore year.
