Celina must raise pay rates at the Bryson Pool to attract more qualified managers and teenage lifeguards, council members and Safety Service Director Jeff Hazel said during a meeting Tuesday.

Hundreds of traveling gypsies have overrun the Mercer County Fairgrounds.
No, they're not real gypsies, but rather RV enthusiasts who arrived Monday for the fifth Eastern Gypsy Gathering.
MINSTER - The road could be less bumpy for motorists and bicyclists crossing railroad tracks on Seventh Street as a result of action taken by Minster village councilors Tuesday night.
A Celina man, who allegedly tampered with evidence and threatened a witness in a criminal case, remains incarcerated at the Mercer County Jail on a $500,000 bond after pleading not guilty in a pair of Mercer County Common Pleas Court cases.
Because of the lack of licensed speech language pathologists in the area, Celina City Schools' board of education approved contracts with two outside agencies on Monday night.
Family Care Options, a Celina facility providing respite services for caregivers, has moved from its former location at 217 S. Cherry St. to the 401 Building on Myers Road.
Picturesque, a photography business in Celina owned by sisters Abby Lange and Becca Sudhoff, has moved from West Anthony Street to a new location on Main Street.
MARIA STEIN - It wasn't a perfect night for the Marion Local Flyers, but despite some struggles, their record remained spotless when all was said and done.
