Memorial Day flag
The Flag Manual requires the American Flag be flown at half staff from sunrise to noon Memorial Day. At noon, the flag can be raised to full staff.
Holiday police patrols
State police will be conducting checkpoints and patrols aimed at curbing drunken driving, aggressive driving, speeding and motorists who are not wearing seat belts during the Memorial Day weekend. Police hope to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities suffered in traffic crashes.
ID cards for veterans
Any veteran who has a Veterans Affairs ID card without a photo or an ID card with a Social Security number listed on it must obtain a new, secure ID card, which protects vital information with a bar code.
New ID cards will be processed at the Hermitage VA Clinic, Kerrwood Drive, Hermitage, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.
Cleanup day
Shenango Township semi-annual cleanup is Saturday. House-to-house pickup is for residents who regularly use Tri-County garbage bags or totes.
