CANFIELD — Two young people were honored at Wednesday’s city council meeting for what they did last year and what they are planning to do again.

Nicolas Folsom, son of Eric and Angelica Folsom, and Hadley Moser, daughter of Rob and Heather Moser, were honored for raising $10,000 for Salem Regional Medical Center’s breast cancer patients. They also had the two center pickleball courts at Greasel Park painted pink for the tournament.

Last year, Folsom was a senior at Canfield High School and Moser was a junior. Folsom started the Teen Health and Medical Society Club at the high school. The club was one of more than 40 chapters across the United States that promotes good health for teens and women in need. Folsom found out about the organization when he took summer classes at Johns Hopkins University three years ago.

With the success of 2024, the two decided to make it an annual event and now with Folsom graduated and Moser s a senior, plans have begun for this year’s tournament.

With that in mind, Canfield Mayor Don Dragish declared June 15, 2025, as Nicolas Folsom and Hadley Moser Day. Both were congratulated and presented with copies of the proclamation.

“These are two incredible young pe

ople,” said Council President Christine Oliver.

In other business, a recent incident with the zoning inspector removing advertising signs from a residential property was discussed. The property in question was supposed to have a new roof installed, but a sign was posted on the property with no work going on. The sign was removed and the owner claimed an unmarked vehicle showed up and a person grabbed the sign and left.

“Our city car has a (city seal) on the driver’s door, but not on the passenger side,” said City Manager David D’Apolito. “We are going to have an emblem placed on that side and are looking into door hangers for when a sign is removed to explain what ordinance is being violated.”

Also Wednesday, council agreed to accept the Mahoning County Hazards Mitigation Plan to fulfill the mandates of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and satisfy requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Ohio EMA.

Council also approved the appointment of Oliver to the Millennial Moments joint economic development district board for an unexpired term ending Dec. 31, 2027.
