Teacher Receives Accolades at TCTC Placing a phone call to the Pate household is a 50/50 proposition. If you ask for Corey, you never know for sure which one you will get. Perhaps, it will be Mr. Corey Pate, but it could be Mrs. Corey Pate. Husband and wife have the same first name. Students in Mr. Corey Pate’s science classes at the TCTC are unanimous in reporting however that their learning is not subject to chance. He is held in the highest regard by his students. Pate is a 1998 graduate of Champion High School and received a degree in Comprehensive Science from Kent State. Before joining the faculty of the TCTC in 2007, he taught at Tallmadge and Southington High Schools. Aubrey Jones, a junior from Niles enrolled in CPTP, is a student in Pate’s chemistry class. She stated, “Mr. Pate has so many good qualities. The one I appreciate the most is that he can explain the subject in a way that kids can understand. He is also patient and does not make you feel dumb if you are initially confused.” Jeremy Clutter, a senior from Bristol enrolled in Web Design, concurred with Jones assessment. He stated, "Mr. Pate understands that students learn in different ways. He has slides for visual learners, tapes for auditory learners and hands on activities for kinesthetic learners. He is also laid back and does not sweat the small stuff, but make no mistake about it; he is purposeful in his teaching.” Recently, Clutter nominated Pate for a $500 Donors Choice award. This will allow Pate to select teaching materials and supplies to supplement his classroom instruction. Pate received word in late March that he was selected for the award. Larry Crawford, Academic Supervisor, said the key to Pate’s success is the partnerships that he forms with students. “Just as you can’t govern without the consent of the governed, neither can you teach effectively unless the students’ take ownership of their education. With Corey there is significant student buy in.”

Good teachers embrace accountability because they are confident in their ability to impact student learning. Pate believes it is imperative for a teacher to self-evaluate. “Every year, I ask myself, Are my students better thinkers and problem solvers than when they entered my classroom in September? If not, I make curriculum adjustments in the summer.” Crawford pointed to an adjustment that Pate made in his chemistry class. Students in Cosmetology are required to take a chemistry class to obtain their certification, but some of them do not have the math and science backgrounds to be successful. Corey breaks down the subject matter into teachable component parts. He is flexible, patient and finds a way to make it all work. He is a wonderful asset to our science department.” Pate was asked what he will be doing in the year 2025. He said that he really enjoys the classroom, but might want to explore teaching science in college. The TCTC borrows an expression made famous by sports announcer, Lee Corso. “Not so fast my friend.” We like you right where you presently are. So do his students.”

World War II Memorabilia on Display at Bristol Public Library

Now on display at the Bristol Public Library is a remarkable collection of World War II memorabilia. The collection owned by Mr. Gabriel Illes of Bristolville is located in the display case on the second floor of the library. Mr. Illes grew up listening to stories of the war from his father and uncles and developed an interest in history at a very young age. This interest led him to become involved with the reenactment in Conneaut and with the Able Company 116th Infantry Regiment of Bedford, Virginia. Gabe has only been collecting the items for the last three years. Some of the items on display, including dog tags and a comb, belonged to his father. Other pieces are exact replicas of official items he has purchased from flea markets, reenactments and on e-bay. Gabe’s passion of history is the center of the display with information on the war and all the items. The collection will be on display until the end of May. For more information or directions to the library contact the circulation desk at 330-889-3651.

The Carbonated Church: How Can We Maximize Our Fizz?

We Must Minster With The Power of the Holy Spirit Acts 1:4, “Don’t leave Jerusalem but wait for the gift My Father promised which you’ve heard Me speak about. John baptized with water but in a few days you’ll be baptized with the Holy Spirit…” Acts 1:8, “…You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be My witnesses, telling people about me everywhere -- in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria and the to ends of the earth.” We Must Maintain A Warm Fellowship Acts 2:42-44, “They devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching and to the fellowship and the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe and many wondrous and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All believers were together and had everything in common.” We Must Multiply Our Small Groups Acts 2:46-47, “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple court and they broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.” -The Advantages of Small Groups: 1. They are infinitely expandable. 2. They are unlimited geographically. 3. They are practical stewardship. 4. They are relationship builders. We Must Maximize The Power of Prayer, Acts 4:31, “After they prayed the place they were meeting was shaken.” We Must Preserve Christ-like Generosity Acts 4:32-37, “ All the believers were one in heart and one in mind. No one claimed any of that which was his possessions as his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and grace was with them all. There were no needy persons among them.” We Must Move Out With God’s Mission Acts 8:4, “Those that had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.” The Corner House Christian Church has responded to the challenge outlined in the Scriptures with small groups meeting in homes and at the church house for Bible study and prayer. Two Alcoholics Anonymous and two Zumba classes meet weekly at the church. Many members are active in community projects: Little Dresses for Haiti, Soul Sisters, Men’s Breakfast, Traveling Sisters, youth groups, Sunday morning and Wednesday evening worship services and many more programs. We have an extensive outreach to support local, national, and worldwide missions. Contact us because there is a place for you to use your talents to serve the Lord and keep your Fizz active!

More than $7,500 was raised at the second annual West Branch Middle School St Baldrick's "Dance for a Cure" fundraiser on March 2nd. St Baldrick's Foundation is an organization dedicated to finding a cure for pediatric cancer. As part of the event, teachers and staff members volunteer to have their heads shaved to raise money for the foundation. This year the volunteers included, Principal Roger Kitzmiller and teachers Amy Criss, Mike Falasca and Dan Hall. At the first event, held last year, more than $5,000 dollars was raised as a result of the dance fundraiser. The amount this year is still growing, thanks to the students and teachers of WBMS as well as some local businesses and families with the community. This successful event was organized and spearheaded by 8th grader Kennedy Close. She came up with the event idea last school year because she wanted to give back within her community. Now it is an event that students and staff look forward to each year.

Make Earth D How does solar electricity work? Solar panels are seen more and more on roofs of residential homes and even some businesses. Due in part to more aggressive marketing by solar energy companies, as well as greater awareness by customers, solar energy has become increasingly popular in recent years. The Solar Energy Industries Association® reports that solar energy in the United States is booming. The association offers that, since the passage of The Solar Investment Tax Credit in 2006, solar has experienced a compound annual growth rate of more than 60 percent. While many might assume that environmental preservation is the driving force behind the growing popularity of solar energy, it's actually the financial benefits of solar energy that are leading the way. One Block Off the Grid polled nearly 200 solar homeowners to learn more about their motivations for going solar. Roughly 75 percent would not have gone solar if there was no economic benefit to doing so. A number of people who have switched to solar say they are getting a high rate of return on the investment. The average electricity bill a person saw prior to solar energy hovered around $177 a month. After the conversion, bills were now as low as $55. Those who are still pondering the decision to go solar may want to know more about how it works. Although the guidelines vary depending on location and the energy company issuing the bill, here are some of the basics. Generating solar electricity Solar electricity is generated through a process known as the photovoltaic affect. Sunlight shines on solar panels, which are mounted on the roof of the home or in another prominent location. Each panel typically has between 60 to 72 solar cells strung together. These photovoltaic cells use the irradiation in sunlight to stimulate the flow of electrons in the semiconductor material, which creates direct current, or DC, electricity. Systems that directly convert the DC to alternating current, or

AC, the type of power voltage used in a house, do so by way of an inverter. The inverter feeds power to the circuit board. Demand and excess When the demand from a home or business is equal to the amount of solar power being generated, the system is working optimally. When solar power falls a bit short, grid power will make up the deficit. There's also the possibility that excess electricity will be produced. In a grid connect system, certain areas may operate with a 1:1 net metering policy, states Solar Reviews, which offers consumer reviews of solar products. This means that the utili-

RECREATIONAL BOWLING • COSMIC BOWLING (FRI & SAT) BUMPER BOWLING • BIRTHDAY PARTIES • CORPORATE PARTIES COMPLETE PRO SHOP • ACCESSORIES • LESSONS AVAILABLE OPEN LANES DAY & NIGHT • GIFT CERTIFICATES

ty company will credit a homeowner 1 to 1 for every kilowatt hour produced in excess because the excess energy goes back into the grid system. This is called "back-feeding" the grid. It's handy for powering homes at night with standard electricity at no additional cost. If the production of kwhs exceeds what is purchased from the utility each year, some utility companies will continue to credit for the excess. Solar electricity systems are changing the way people think about energy. With the financial motivation to do so, consumers who embrace solar energy are helping the environment while also saving money.

ay Ever y Day Make Spring Projects More Eco-Friendly The arrival of warmer weather means different things to different people. Some anticipate opportunities for outdoor fun, while others may be considering redecorating or remodeling their homes. For the latter group, home improvement season provides a great opportunity to make homes more eco-friendly. When planning home improvement projects, it's best to first choose a project and then look for ways to make the project more environmentally friendly. Such an approach may not only benefit the environment, but it also may benefit homeowners' bottom lines. Interior decorating Longer days and warmer temperatures often translate into wanting to freshen up the interior of a home. Heavy draperies and comforters are put away, and lighter fabrics are taken out of storage. Whenever possible, reuse or repurpose items you already have rather than purchasing new items. Longer drapes can be cut and hemmed to be used as window treatments in other rooms. Making a patchwork blanket out of old T-shirts is a crafty project that makes use of items that would otherwise be destined for landfills. When laundering linens, skip the energy-using dryer and let items line dry in the sun and fresh air. If you decide to purchase some new items, look for products made from sus-

tainable or organic fabrics. Hemp and bamboo textiles have grown in popularity. Hemp and bamboo plants grow quickly, and their durability makes these materials smart choices. When replacing items around the house, donate older items to a charitable organization. Flowers and plants Spring and summer call to mind beautiful blooming plants. Relying on native, sustainable plants is practical, environmentally friendly and cost-effective. According to the National Wildlife Federation, sustainable plants are native plants. Native plants sustain local wildlife more effectively than non-native alterna-

tives, so include native plants in your sustainable garden. Native plants also are less reliant on pesticides and herbicides to keep them healthy and viable. Don't forget to bring plants indoors as well. Even though you may be opening the windows more, indoor plants can filter and purify indoor air. The NASA Clean Air Study, led in association with the Associated Landscape Contractors of America, found that certain common indoor plants naturally remove toxic agents such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from the air. Efficient air cleaning is accomplished with at least one plant per 100 square feet of home or office space.

Proper disposal Spring cleaning is another tradition for many families come the end of winter and dawn of spring. Many people use spring as a time to go through closets and garages to remove items they no longer use or need. In an effort to clean up fast, some people may dispose of chemical products, paints, treated lumber, and many other items in ways that can be damaging to the environment. Always learn local municipal guidelines for proper disposal of potentially harmful products. Area recycling centers may have drop-off areas for stains and paints, used motor oil and other potentially harmful products.

Before discarding something, see if it can be donated or sold. This will result in fewer items ending up in landfills. Exercise caution outdoors as well. Runoff from cleaning products used on

home siding or driveways can leach into the surrounding soil or find its way into sewage drains that ultimately direct fluids to public waterways. Choose environmentally responsible products whenever possible.

Do you own a washing machine? How much do you spend on detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, and hot water each month? Do you have any problems with odors? Does anyone in your home have allergies due to detergent residue? Are you concerned about the chemicals and carcinogens used to make the products we use to clean our clothes? Laundry detergents leave residue on clothing which is absorbed by our skin and inhaled. These chemicals cause anything from skin or eye irritation to maybe even more serious issues as some of the ingredients are considered potential carcinogens. Conventional laundry detergents generally contain synthetic detergents, which are often made of petrochemicals, phenols, whose vapors can be toxic to the nervous system and irritate the eyes, lungs and the throat. Fragrance is added which usually contains chemicals that have been linked to early puberty, autism, obesity, and birth defects. Also contained are brighteners, which are often made from benzene, a definite carcinogen, bleach, which contains chlorine (an environmental toxin–and possibly a carcinogen) They also contain phosphates, which break down minerals and render detergent more effective, but with harmful environmental ramifications A 2008 study found that of all the top selling laundry detergent brands tested, each contained at least one ingredient considered hazardous under federal law. But, none of these ingredients was listed on the label and the study didn’t disclose which brands were tested. Most detergents depend on phosphates and other ingredients now considered as carcinogens or in other words that can cause cancer. Bleaches have toxic byproducts. The itching or rash signals the beginning of another allergic reaction. These detergents are also known to be asthmaproducing. Conventional detergents are made from synthetic petrochemicals that are very hard on sensitive skin and the environment. They leave a residue behind on our clothing and on our skin, which is why skin allergies are so common. Fabric softeners, dryer sheets, fabric sprays...and now even laundry crystals are actually harmful to our bodies. According to the EPA and industry-generated Market Safety

Data Sheets, fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain a list of dangerous petrochemicals that are often used in untested combinations. In fabric softeners, Chloroform is a solvent and aromatic agent. You now have a choice and a decision to make. There are other products on the market that claim to help eliminate these problems. However, we believe we have the Best Solution. It’s called Laundry Pure. And it combines all the things we talked about into one great product. It helps you live healthier keeping your family safe from all those cancer causing chemicals. Your clothes will last longer. You will save by not paying for hot water, detergents, fabric softeners, dryer sheets and bleach. You will help the environment because you won’t be discharging those chemicals down the drain contaminating our water ways and you will not have to discard all the empty containers in the land fill. And the greatest news of all is this Laundry Pure is not only doesn’t cost $12,000. It will save the average family $600 a year. But That’s Not ALL Did I tell you this is risk free because it comes with a money back guarantee? That it has a three year warranty? That it never needs maintenance? Or That it installs in under 15 minutes? Did I mention if you have a front loader washing machine and have problems with odors, that you won’t anymore? Earlier I asked If I could show you a way to save on your Laundry Bill starting right now and start saving or earning approximately $600 a year, would you do it? Laundry Pure is the way. For more information on how to keep your family safe or better yet to order yours contact me today! You can call 330-559-3175, email me at [email protected] or just stop in at The Review Newspapers at 1123 West Park Ave. in Niles from 10 am to 6pm Monday thru Friday.

Congressman Tim Ryan made a return visit to Hubbard Middle School on Monday, April 9, to speak with students about organic farming and how healthy lifestyles can positively impact medical and insurance rates. Congressman Ryan spoke with students in Mr. Frank O’Brien’s 8th grade health class and viewed their hydroponic growing system, which was implemented into the health curriculum last school year. Congressman Ryan is a proponent of Americans having access to fresh, whole foods and authored a book on the topic entitled “The Real Food Revolution”. Through the generosity of community members and district funds, Hubbard Middle School was able to secure the hydroponic system, which grows plants indoors without the use of soil. The school was one of the first in the area to use the system. Students learn about the science behind hydroponic growing, gardening, healthy eating and lifestyles as part of their health instruction at Hubbard Middle School. The Hubbard Exempted Village School District would like to thank Tom and Katie Phibbs, both Hubbard graduates and owners of Lettuce Do Good, who continue to donate time, as guest speakers, and resources to the hydroponic growing program at Hubbard Middle School.

World Of Wildlife 2018 Bicycle Tour

WOW 2018– World Of Wildlife Bicycle Tour – will take place on Saturday, June 9, 2018. The 14th year for this event includes 20-, 40- and 69-mile routes. Except for the first and last miles on public roads, WOW 2018 uses the Western Reserve Greenway, an asphalt-paved, dedicated bike trail. The out-and-back ride is a "rain or shine" ride. Event registration will occur at Kent State University at Trumbull in Champion, 7:30-10:00 a.m. The deadline for advanced registration is May 22, 2018, including T-shirt orders. Day-of registrations are welcome. The Greenway passes through large sections of premier wetlands, home to much wildlife and many species of rare and endangered plant life. Riders might see a groundhog, deer, river otter, beaver or, for those especially observant, a great blue heron, a bald eagle or a trumpeter swan, this year’s mascot. Participants will also pass through the Mosquito Lake Wildlife Area. Food and beverages will be provided at rest stops along the route and at the conclusion of the ride. Western Reserve Greenway Bike Patrol volunteers will assist riders along the route.

Historical Village and the Local History Showcase Meeting

The first meeting for the Historical Village and the Local History Showcase at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds is scheduled for Thursday, April 26 at 5:00PM at the fairgrounds administrative offices at 899 Cortland-Everett Hull Road, Cortland, Ohio. You enter gate C. This is the same site as last year. Last year was a great success. Let's make this year even better! RSVP is requested but not required, just so we know how many chairs to put up. We had 12 organizations represented during the fair last summer. Response was really positive from all the people that came thru the church. A big plus was the post office and the pen pal program, which we hope will be available again. This is a free format for historical organizations to exhibit their information. There are 35 historical organizations in Trumbull County and this is a great way to showcase them, and get to know each other. Some of the items to discuss is: 1. How many people in the church at all times; 2. Set up and tear down times; 3. Hours to be open-same as last year or later on the weekend?; 4. Arrange for speaker-President Abe Lincoln, others?; 5. Possibility of clean-up day; 6. Candy sales; 7. Other ideas/ suggestions/changes. Hope to see you on the 24th. You do not have to belong to a historical organization to participate. If you did not attend last year and have any questions, do not hesitate to call Cindee Mines-Local History Gathering facilitator-330-2076442 or 330-847-0897; Michelle Smith-fair board-330-7709336; or Toni Dunbar-fair board-330-240-3812.

JCRC announces winners of Annual Holocaust Writing and Art Contest As part of its 25th Annual Community Holocaust Commemoration for Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance), the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation announced the winners of its Student Holocaust Writing and Art Contest. Students in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana Counties and Western Pennsylvania from grades 7-12 were invited to submit an original piece of poetry, narrative composition, art or media. The theme was “Anti-Semitism In All Its Forms.” Though the general definition of anti-Semitism is hostility or prejudice against Jews, it has become an umbrella term for negative stereotypes about Jews. While there is no universally accepted definition, there is a generally clear understanding of what the term encompasses. The term has come to mean hatred toward Jews - individually and as a group - that can be attributed to the Jewish religion and/or ethnicity. Holocaust denial and Jewish conspiracy theories are also considered forms of anti-Semitism. Although the term did not come into common usage until the 19th century, it is now also applied to historic anti-Jewish incidents. Winners are: Poetry, grades 7 – 8: Winner - Hannah Planey, Austintown Middle School; Honorable Mention - Moira George, Austintown Middle School. Poetry, grades 9 – 10: Winner - Sehar Khan, Boardman High School; Honorable Mention - Morgan Banicki, Beaver Local High School; Honorable Mention - Brook Schwerha, Beaver Local High School; Honorable Mention - Karlee Furman, Beaver Local High School. Poetry grades, 11 – 12: Winner - Cole Christman, Boardman High School. Essays, grades 7 – 8: Winner - Sophia DiRenzo, Austintown Middle School. Essays, grades 9 – 10: Winner - Caitlin McTrustry, East Palestine High School; Honorable Mention - Eloy Kim, Hubbard High School; Honorable Mention - Michael DeBord, Beaver Local High School. Essays, grades 11 – 12: Winner - Siena Larrick, Boardman High School. Art, grades 7 – 8: Winner - Kamryn Zeock, Austintown

Audobon Society presents documentary

Audubon Society/Mahoning Valley invites the public to "America’s Other Audubon" at 7 p.m. Monday, April 23 at the Canfield Library. Inspired by seeing some of John James Audubon’s engravings for Birds of America at the 1876 World’s Fair in Philadelphia, 29-year-old amateur naturalist Genevieve Estelle Jones embarked on her own project, Illustrations of the Nests and Eggs of Birds of Ohio. When she died suddenly of typhoid fever, her family decided to finish her work; a labor of love that took seven years. Joy M. Kiser, an Ohioan and former librarian for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, D.C., will present a mini-documentary on Jones which will include details about the family, archival photographs, and other information not included in her book, America’s Other Audubon.

Local Slovak Historian and Author Shares Memories of a Lifetime

Local Slovak historian and author, Loretta Ekoniak, will share Memories of a Lifetime Saturday, April 21, 10:00 A.M., at Kravitz’s Deli Meeting Room, 3135 Belmont Avenue, Liberty Township, for the William Holmes McGuffey Historical Society, when presenting a program on her book titled Slovaks of the Greater Mahoning Valley, co-authored with Susan Summers. The program is open to the public. Admission is $5.00 for members and $6.00 for nonmembers. Refreshments will be served and a 50/50 raffle will be held, to benefit the society’s education mission. Music is by Dolores DePietro. Reservations are suggested. Walk-ins admitted, based upon seat availability. The WHMHS conducts high interest programs, open to the public, in an effort to keep the McGuffey legacy alive. Mr. McGuffey published the nationally known McGuffey Eclectic Readers in 1836 and is known as “America’s Schoolmaster” and “America’s Storyteller.” Still in print today, the readers stress the importance of citizenship, conservation, character, values, and literacy. They are considered America’s first textbook series. The McGuffey homestead, located on McGuffey Road, Coitsville Township, includes seventy-eight acres and is a National Historic Landmark. Donated by the society to Mill Creek Metroparks in 1998, it is now known as the McGuffey Wildlife Preserve. To make reservations or for more information, contact Richard S. Scarsella, WHMHS chairman, at 330-726-8277.

ASK THE LIBRARIAN “I was setting up a newsletter on the computer, and all the examples were in a foreign language! Why?” After asking for more details, we found that the language in question was lorem ipsum, not a language at all. Typically beginning “lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetueur,” it’s a pseudo-Latin nonsense phrase mostly lifted from a treatise on ethics written by Cicero in 45 B.C. According to the Microsoft support website, the original phrase by Cicero is “Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit,” which translates as "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain." Lorem ipsum, however, has had letters added and removed to the point where it’s no longer proper, meaningful Latin. For example, according to http://generator.loremipsum.info/, a webpage for generating lorem ipsum and other text, sometimes the letters K, W, and Z are added randomly, just to give an idea of what they would look like. Because it’s meaningless, lorem ipsum is often used as filler text in design, such as in our patron’s newsletter example. It’s supposed to give an idea of what the finished product will look like without distracting the eye. For answers to your questions, visit the Newton Falls Public Library, 204 S. Canal Street, Newton Falls or phone 330-8721282.

Dana Guitar Ensemble at the Butler Institute of American Art By Victoria Remley

The Dana Guitar Ensemble at Youngstown State University performed a mix of classical and jazz music at Wednesday’s Music at Noon. Francois Fowler, associate professor of guitar, said the ensemble consists of classical guitar soloists, a classical guitar quartet, jazz guitar soloists and jazz guitar duos. “The students present several concerts, clinics, and masterclasses every season by students, faculty, and internationally acclaimed guest artists at the Dana School of Music,” Fowler said. The community can experience a diversity of music and instrumentation during the ensemble’s performances. “In terms of the instruments used, these include but are not limited to steel string acoustic guitars, hollow body electric guitars, Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters and classical guitars. Many times they feature special guest collaborators on piano, bass, drums, harp, and voice,” Fowler said. The Association started 11 years ago as a nonprofit student organization. It promotes the awareness of the classical and jazz guitar in Youngstown, Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. “Some of the students have graduated and gone on to teach in many high schools throughout the United States or have been awarded full scholarships to pursue graduate studies at some of the leading universi-

ties in the United States,” Fowler said. The Guitar Ensemble and other guitar students at Dana spend a lot of time practicing and rehearsing for events at the university and in the community. “They were honored to be invited to perform at the inauguration of Youngstown Mayor Jamael Tito Brown a few months ago. They also performed at the Canfield Fair last summer. They have also been invited to perform at events in Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and Pittsburgh,” Fowler said. Guitarist Shaun McCune from Vienna, Ohio participates in Guitar Ensemble to fill a course requirement for his guitar major at YSU and to be with friends. “It would be a disservice to not mention the joy it has been to work with my fellow quartet members -

Gina Love, Angela Buzzacco, and Issac Hraga. We have been together for five semesters and have performed many times both inside and outside the school. I can honestly say that we have a very enjoyable and supportive group,” McCune said. The community should see the Dana Guitar Ensemble to learn about the different styles of guitar music. “In regard to the Guitar Ensemble in particular, I think that our group has a very nice mixture of jazz and classical styles. Guitar is one of the most popular instruments in the world, but the pieces the Guitar Ensemble performs shows a side to the instrument not often heard,” McCune said. Judy Nelson from Columbiana, Ohio said the performance was delightful. “The students are very talented. I was impressed

that they had it all memorized. It was awesome,” Nelson said. Katie Sorensen from Liberty, Ohio said the performance was very relaxing. “It’s something to do in Youngstown and I have a newborn, so there’s not a lot of events that we can go to,” Sorensen said. Abby Webb from Boardman, Ohio said she enjoyed the jazz tunes. “I like the art institute and checking out different events that are going on in the community,” Webb said. The performance took place at the Butler Institute of American Art. The Dana Guitar Association’s next performance can be found on the calendar page of their website. The calendar will be updated in August. The website can be found at www.danaguitarassociation.o rg.

President Receives Letter From United States President

Students in the HOPE club say “Thanks” in courtyard where they will soon plant with biodegradable waste. L to R/ Alyssa Alberti, Mia Gagliano, Max Welton, Devon Alm. Contributed Photo.

Glenwood Students and Staff want to send a big Thank You to Diamond Steel Construction Company of North Lima, for donating the use of a massive crane to hoist an 8-foot in diameter Earth Tub Composter over the building, and into the Glenwood Courtyard. Now students will be able to finish the job that started with an EPA Grant award of $16,000 to compost the waste from the school cafeteria. “On March 14, Diamond Steel workers helped us hook up the Composter, lift it at least 30 feet in the air, and glide it into place,” said science teacher Laura Frost. “It was a blustery day, so students were inside watching in amazement through the window.” Last year, Glenwood received a highly competitive $16,000 Ohio Environmental Education Fund Grant to purchase the Earth Tub. Students at the school will now be able to reduce their waste by up to 35% by composting in an Earth Tub system. Dozens of students who are HOPE club members (Helping Our Planet Earth) will also maintain the courtyard gardens.

Colonial crafts, archery, hatchet throwing and rock climbing are just some of the activities JacksonMilton students did during their visit to Camp Fitch this month. This year, 55 students went to Camp Fitch. It’s an avenue for students to bond, strengthen relationships and make new relationships, build community spirit with each other and learn new life skills. Time spent outdoors doing activities, is also a valuable educational experience for students.

Trumbull County Republican Women's Club presented a White House letter to their President, Jean Cramer.

Pella Penguins Recital Gives Audience Goosebumps By Victoria Remley

The Pella Penguins recital on April 13 featured songs such as Shape of You by Ed Sheeran, Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley and Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovato. Kortney Squibbs, the president of the group, said Pella Penguins is a co-ed acapella group at Youngstown State University. “We sing music without any instruments or background music. We’re the music,” Squibbs said. People should see Pella Penguins recitals because they are fun and exciting. “A lot of people come to support their friends, but just in general people come because it’s a lot of fun and we really enjoy what we do,” Squibbs said. The group prepared for the recital with many rehearsals. “We have two rehearsals a week. At the beginning of the semester we started out with one hour and we extended it to an hour and a half to two hours. We had a lot of performances during the semester. We performed at Guinathon, Relay For Life and things like that,” Squibbs said. Taylor Phillips, a group member from Austintown, Ohio said people would get an idea of all the work that goes into the performances by coming to the group’s

shows. “We’re a student run organization. We’ve put a lot of time and effort into this. It’s a lot harder than you would think it is because we don’t have instruments and we don’t have a degreed instructor. Talented students do it together,” Phillips said. The group prepared for the recital by practicing Mondays and Tuesdays from 8-9 p.m. “The last month before the concert we practice from 8-9:30. Sometimes the officers will stay until 10 or 10:30. The officers planned the choreography. We learned intense choreography for a couple songs. A lot of us had to take the music home and put it together for when we came in. There’s a lot that goes into it. There’s a lot of practice outside and inside. We do a lot of group bonding activities too,” Phillips said. Chloe Goehring, a performer from Industry, Pennsylvania, said the community should see the group’s awesome performances. “A lot of people don’t realize how much work goes into acapella groups” Goehring said. Goehring learned her part by practicing the music with a piano. “When we get into group you sing with your perspective section and

work on it from there,” Goehring said. Jeff Dedominicis from Beaver County, Pennsylvania thought the group put on a great recital. He went to support his daughter, a performer. “I liked it a lot. The Hallelujah song was definitely my favorite part,” Dedominicis said. Jade Clark from Newcastle, Pennsylvania thought the performers’ voices sounded nice. “It takes a lot of guts to get up there and sing,” Clark said. Clark went to the recital because her friend participates in the group. “My friend Dylan Douglass is the best singer in the world. He’s got great dance moves,” Clark said. Tyler Lee from Newcastle, Pennsylvania thought the vocalists sang wonderfully. “I got goosebumps. Everyone’s singing was beautiful. I love stuff like this,” Lee said. Lee went because she enjoys the music. “I’ve always been into music. I didn’t really know about it until Dylan told me about it, but I was going to come anyway because it’s really cool,” Lee said. Pella Penguins’ next recital will be spring 2019 at Youngstown State University.

John Mashiska, local resident and head of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Knights of Columbus, explained the history and activities of the group to members of the Rotary Club of Austintown at their April 2 meeting. Founded in Connecticut in 1882, it is the largest Catholic fraternal organization in the world, now numbering 1.9 million members. Originally founded to help immigrants find jobs and provide insurance for working men, it continues to now provide help to families in need of their social services and also honor guards for funerals and activities involving the church officials. Brookfield Middle School was the first of several local schools to hear from Magistrate Horton about school safety. He reminded students about the seriousness and consequences of making any type of threat against a school. Contributed Photo.

At a recent Rotary luncheon, Canfield Rotary was pleased to welcome Jim Tressel, President of Youngstown State University, to be the luncheon speaker. Mr. Tressel spoke to the club about this generation of young people and how interested they are in helping others and serving their community. He stressed that Rotary, along with Interact at the high school level and Rotaract at the college level, gives young people the opportunity to learn about serving people and gets teens and young adults into the habit of getting involved. Mr. Tressel believes the key to success is to recognize opportunities, and stressed that there are extraordinary opportunities right here in our valley. He shared with the club his "check list" for success, which he suggests might help one determine the right direction in pursuit of health and happiness, both in a career and lifestyle: first, you must feel a "connectedness" to the people with whom you work; you must also have a “sense of value and autonomy” and encourage the same in others. You must "feel good about how you feel," and intentionally work on a healthy lifestyle. Finally, you must try to “keep things in perspective”, as it can be very easy to lose sight of what's really important. Mr. Tressel's inspirational (and very entertaining!) message can certainly be applied to opportunities at all stages of lives and careers.

On Saturday March 25, the Canfield Lions held their 40th year Charter Night at A La Cart Catering in Canfield. Over 75 Lions across District OH4 came to join in their celebration of 40 years of service to the Canfield Community. It was quite an evening. Following dinner, Past District Governor and Charter Member Ted Filmer gave an interesting history of their 40 years. They received their Charter in March of 1978 and held their Charter night on June 10, 1978 at the Leffingwell Hills Country Club with 44 members becoming Canfield Lions. The Youngstown Lions Club was their sponsoring Club. Over 40 years the Canfield Lions have held many service projects and fund raisers. For various reasons they had to try some other projects to make their money, which was used to help those in need. Today they are known for their year

round Fish Fries at A La Cart Catering, annual Spring Craft Show, eye screenings at the C.H. Campbell and Hilltop Elementary, Candy Day sales the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, conducting adult eye screenings in the Health Building at the Canfield Fair Highway Cleanup on 224, provide eye exams and glasses for those in need, providing food baskets to those in need at Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as other projects. Canfield Lions have truly lived up to International Lions motto, “We serve,” as well as being Knights of the Blind. Four Charter Members remain, Past District Governor Ted Filmer, Lions David Dates, Harry Pancher, and David Longacre, who was unable to make it from his Arizona residence. Past Council Chair David Gauch was our guest speaker. His journey

through 1978 with highlights of music, costs of gas and current events brought back many memories. He compared the Canfield Lions to the Lions logo, one Lion looking back to the past, and one looking to the future, and Gauch stated we just looked at their history, now what will the next 40 years look like for the Club? Canfield Lions meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month at A La Cart Catering for a 6:30 dinner and 7:00 meeting.

First Energy awarded a $1,000 STEM Grant to Marsha Coffee, a teacher at West Branch High School, for her Family & Consumer Science classes. The grant was used to purchase a Bernina Sewing Machine. “I am so grateful to First Energy for choosing my class to receive this grant. My students have been working hard on a sewing project and this new sewing machine was the missing link,” said Coffee. The students in her Parenting class will be using the new sewing machine to create infant-sized quilts. Students are applying their mathematical knowledge and skills in the planning process of their quilt. In the spring, the class will donate the quilts to the pediatric unit of Mercy Medical Hospital in Canton, Ohio. This project is being done as part of the class’s service learning curriculum standard. "My appreciation of the First Energy STEM Grant has spearheaded West Branch High School to add an Interior Design & Clothing course for students in the 2018-19 school year," said Coffee.

The last of the leprechaun’s luck was in the air at O’Donold’s Irish Pub's yesterday when the finalists for its Lucky 15 St. Patrick’s Cruze GiveAway were drawing their chances. On Sunday night, contestant Andy Gray pulled the winning envelope out of the 100 numbered options presented. There were no guaranteed winners in the drawing. Gray was one of 15 finalists from hundreds who bought $3 chances during the March runup to St Patrick’s Day. The Niles resident said he selected #37 because the number was the first one that came to him when he thought about the impending drawing on earlier that morning. With two children at home of driving age Gray said the family was already volleying for driving privileges when he texted the good news. The raffle was sponsored by Spitzer Lordstown who provided the car and Chase Insurance who is gifting the winner with a complimentary year of insurance coverage. Proceeds of the raffle that was sold throughout all of March will benefit the programs of the Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley.

The Berlin-Ellsworth Ruritan donated dictionaries to the third grade class students of Western Reserve Local School. Presenting the dictionaries to Brittany Whitmer and Gina Alexander, both third grade teachers, was Berlin Township Trustee and Ruritan Treasurer, Denny Furman. The Ruritan understand that these students need a strong command of the English language to tackle today's assessments, such as the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. This exam, along with many others, will allow students to demonstrate their strong vocabulary. The dictionaries can be used across the curriculum to strengthen their vocabulary, as well as reinforcing their language skills. In today's world of technology, students still need to know how to use basic research tools such as the dictionary and thesaurus.

Stadium Drive Elementary School is a nominee for the National Blue Ribbon School Award. The Ohio Department of Education chose Stadium Drive as one of only 14 public schools in Ohio to nominate to the US Department of Education for the prestigious award. The ODE nomination is based on student achievement, as rated by the 2016-17 Ohio School Report Card accountability measures. Stadium Drive staff compiled and submitted all required application materials to the US Department of Education last month. The National Award winners will be notified in Septem-

ber.

No one has a bigger smile, than Stadium Drive Principal Michael Zoccali. He is very proud of his students and staff, as well as all the parents who are so supportive. “This is a rare and distinct honor we have earned together through hard work, teamwork, talent and dedication. Stadium Drive Elementary has been recognized consistently as a high performing school in Ohio for years.” The Blue Ribbon School program recognizes US elementary and secondary schools that make significant progress in closing achievement gaps, or whose stu-

dents achieve at superior levels based on federally defined achievement criteria. “While we hope to be a National Blue Ribbon School

in the Fall, we are really honored and excited to stand out in the state of Ohio, as one of only 14 nominations,” said Zoccali.

Students in Maria Lowery’s Anatomy classes focused their most recent class presentations on nervous system disorders. Students had to research their chosen disorder and create a poster for their presentation. Lowery asked her students to become an “expert” on their chosen nervous system disorder. Their research and poster had to include a description of the disorder, causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, as well as relevant images. Lowery said. “They were encouraged to

focus on how the brain/ nervous system of a person with this disorder was different from a person without it.” Staff and administrators walked through their gallery of posters as students presented their information and answered questions from anyone who stopped at their “booth.” Some students also

Sp ri ng fie ld Loc al Schools are showing support for Autism Awareness Month by wearing special shirts, designed and made by students at Columbiana High School. Thursday, April 5th, was the first time Springfield students and staff wore the shirts. Clipper Graphics at Columbiana High School designed the shirts, which have the Dr. Seuss quote: “Why fit in when you were born to stand out.” Olivia Morgan, a junior at Columbiana High School, was the

main design artist. Designing the shirt was personal for Olivia, she has a family member living with autism. “I want everyone to feel included, and realize that differences can also be similarities,” said Olivia Morgan. The shirt comes in different colors, an orange and black t-shirt and a grey, blue and red baseball tee. Blue and red represent some of the colors in the autism ribbon. This is the first time Springfield sold shirts for Autism Awareness. One staff member thought the

school would only sell around 50 shirts. “We sold a bit over 200 shirts, which is very exciting! Our students will be wearing them every Thursday throughout April to support Autism Awareness in our community,” said Amanda Horne, Intervention Special-

ist at Springfield Elementary. Springfield Local School District has activities and lessons planned throughout April for Autism Awareness. Every morning students at the Intermediate and High School read facts about Autism during announcements.

Struthers Rotary discusses history of Easter Seals

The March 20th meeting of the Struthers Rotary Club featured a presentation by Cheryl Lloyd of Easter Seals of Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana Counties. Approaching its 100th anniversary, the organization was founded in Elyria, OH in 1919 as the National Society for Crippled Children. Founder Edgar Allen had lost his son, who was crippled in a streetcar accident, due to the inadequate medical services available. The local businessman and Rotary member raised funds sufficient to establish a hospital in his hometown and later founded the society to address the problems faced by crippled children. In 1950 the Easter Lily logo was adopted and the local Easter Seals group was established in 1951 under the auspices of the Youngstown Rotary. Cheryl discussed the expansion in services in the organization through the years, which includes the addition of adult services such as transportation, day care and meal services. Easter Seals currently focuses on three areas of service: pediatric, adult, and Deaf & Hearing of Hearing. With a 5star rating from the Department of Family Services, the Easter Seals programs provide a wide array of assistance for Child Development, rehabilitation by physical and occupational therapies, speech & language therapy and medically fragile children and children with autism spectrum disorder. Adult services include day care, homebound meal delivery and congregate meal sites. Services are available locally through Struthers Manor and include door-to-door transportation services for activities. The range of rehabilitation services offered in the children’s programs are also available for those utilizing the Easter Seals adult services. Cheryl provided information about Easter Seals from their ‘Stories of Hope’ literature and offered a video presentation of one example of a successful intervention by Easter Seals to improve the quality of life of a disabled child. To reflect the new vision of Easter Seals they have retired their Easter Lily logo and adopted a new ‘ray of hope’ logo with a brighter and airier appearance. It is hoped that the new visual appearance will engender interest and discussion by those who view it. More information is available by calling 330-743-1168 or on the web at http://mtc.easterseals.com.

Kounty Kritters 4H Club, of Hubbard, has been bursting with community service projects these past few weeks! Club members have delivered cookies to police officers, showed off their bunnies at a local Easter Egg hunt, and took some chicks to the public library.

West Branch Middle School recognizes one boy and girl student each month as their “Students of the Month” for excelling in the classroom and for having good character. Students at WBMS that define good character are trustworthy, caring, responsible, respectful, fair and have good citizenship. March’s winners are 8th graders Samantha Tubbs and Caleb Adams; 7th graders Claire Brunner and Kyle Graham; 6th graders Oneal Everett and Logan Citino; and 5th graders Cadence McCartney and Zakory Karlen.

The Reserve Officers Association League (ROAL) and the Mahoning Chapter OH- 42 of the Reserve Officers Association (ROA) donated $1,000 to the Youngstown VA Clinic to help purchase a new “Veterans Helping Veterans” van for the Youngstown VA Clinic and received a framed Certificate of Appreciation. The new van is used to transport veterans to the Cleveland VA Hospital from Mahoning County. The funds were raised at a Christmas Charity Auction Banquet held at the Manor Restaurant in Austintown. The ROAL has raised over $5,000 to aid various veteran organizations such as the USO Lounge at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna, Fisher House, Wounded Warrior Project, the YARS Base Community Council, and the Youngstown VA Clinic. The Mahoning Valley Chapter OH-42 of the Reserve Officers Association meet jointly with the Ladies Auxiliary (ROAL) on the 3rd Thursday of the month for a dinner meeting at the Manor Restaurant, corner of Route 46 and Kirk Road in Austintown at 5:00 p.m. For more information, please contact COL Walter Duzzny at 330-744-4490.

At a recent Canfield Rotary luncheon meeting, four members of Canfield High School's award winning Speech and Debate team, accompanied by Canfield High School speech coach, Jeremy Hamilton, competed in Rotary’s annual 4 Way Speech Competition. In preparing their presentation for the 4-Way Test Speech Competition, students are to use the framework of Rotary’s Four Way Test. The speakers chose very diverse aspects of life as their topics and thoroughly entertained and impressed the Rotarians with their poise, intellect, and delivery. Topics ranged from Disney movies to sidewalks to philosophy, with each speaker considering (1) Is it the truth? (2) Is it fair to all concerned? (3) Will it build good will and better friendships? (4) Is it beneficial to all concerned? Rotary’s Four -Way Test is one of Rotary’s hallmarks and has prospered in the years since it was developed to rescue a failing business during the Great Depression. In a very close contest, Eva Lamberson and Smaranda Solomon tied for third place and were presented $50 each. Senior Jared Cross placed second and was presented $100. Sophomore Kaleigh Ceci placed first and was presented $200. On April 7, 2018, Kaleigh will participate in the Rotary District 6650 4 Way Speech competition in Canton competing with more than 20 students.

A presentation on the continued efforts toward addressing the needs of Williams Syndrome (WS) children was made to the Struthers Rotary Club at their April 3rd meeting. The presenter, Karen Guerriero, has a young daughter, Emily, who faces the ongoing challenges resulting from Williams Syndrome. Karen was hosted by Rotarian Pastor James Berkebile and she described the wide range of concerns generated by her daughter’s affliction. Developmental delays, heart problems, anesthetic reactions and hearing sensitivity plague those with WS. However, those who suffer from the malady also tend to be blessed with caring, happiness and friendliness during their youth. Diagnosis of the problem is very difficult due to a lack of general awareness of the syndrome. In addition, treatment requires that children with WS attend regular classes to avoid regression caused by association with those with other disabilities, whom they tend to emulate. Last year Karen’s first event to raise money for WS support was a great success and another is planned this year. All are invited to attend the Williams Syndrome Awareness event on Saturday, May 5th at Struthers Parkside Church from noon to 4pm. The event features dancing, face painting, crafts, a 50/50 raffle, Chinese auction and much more. Karen offered her thanks to the many local groups that have lent their support of WS and her gratitude for the Struthers School system for their tremendous efforts to foster emotional and educational growth for her daughter and others like her. Karen’s goal is to ensure that communities are aware of this relatively unknown disability so that others like her daughter can receive the support and encouragement they need. More information about Williams Syndrome can be found at https://williams-syndrome.org or by e-mail by contacting Karen at [email protected].

A unique project at Joshua Dixon Elementary combined art, writing and research. Third grade students presented their biography bottles to the entire school before spring break. Students had to research an individual who has made a contribution to the world, and complete a writing assignment about the person. Student research and writing was done at school. The other part of the assignment was an art project, depicting the person a student studied. Students used two-liter bottles as a 3D character representation to create their biography bottles. Steve Jobs, Roberto Clemente, Harry Houdini and Anne Frank were some of the influential people students studied and created biography bottles of. The assignment vertically aligns the study of biographies between the third and fourth grade curriculum. In fourth grade, students also research famous people who have contributed to society, and dress as the person they studied for a “living museum."

Shoe Restoration Is New Business

Maeson Green, a junior at Fitch (pictured right, with Rotary President Bruce Laraway), is among the youngest entrepreneurs in Austintown, restoring leather and canvas shoes to their original looks and quality. Green explained to members of the Rotary Club of Austintown how he developed a special cleaner and processes to restore the shoes, and is now accepting local and nationwide orders while still participating in the Fitch band, Future Business Leaders, and the Community Connections program, a joint effort of the Rotary Club and Austintown Schools that provides mentors to encourage motivated students on their career path. Using the name MBG Restoring, Green has also repaired the Fitch Color Guard and Flag Line boots, and also takes custom orders by mail and connections he has established through his hard work. Some of his clients are attorneys, financial specialists, cowboys, sports celebrities, and others are just "average folks". Green can be reached at www.mbgrestoring.com. He thanked both Rotary and the school system for helping with his efforts. Contributed Photo.

West Boulevard Elementary Students love a good ice cream sundae, especially when they’ve earned it! For the last 15 years, every month is another opportunity to “do something good” to enjoy “Sundaes with Mr. Cervello.” One student from every home room, Kindergarten through 4th grade, is chosen each month. They might get noticed for being kind to a classmate, working extra hard on a project, or just plain showing good character. At the end of every month this group of students is treated to a sundae with all the fixin's. Principal Al Cervello makes it for them, at each student's direction: “chocolate sauce, sprinkles--no whip cream, etc.” Mr. Cervello jokes, “I’ve made hundreds of sundaes over the years...and I’ve never had one myself.” But in all seriousness, he says, students now in the High School come back and talk about enjoying their Sundae and the certificate they got that hung on their refrigerator at home for months. Mr. Cervello knows a secret about what a little ice cream can accomplish!

Art Show Highlights Student Creativity

Exposing her students to different cultures is one thing 3rd grade teacher Stacy McInturff looks forward to each school year. As part of this effort, her classroom at Knox Elementary School celebrates the Chinese New Year with a day full of cultural activities. McInturff said, “I tie in English/Language Arts and Social Studies standards as we learn about the Chinese culture in a fun, new way.” Students participate in a variety of “activity centers” around her classroom, including Chinese lantern making, decorating a Chinese fan, writing their name using Chinese characters and learning to use chopsticks while enjoying homemade stir fry. McInturff reads her students books on different traditions and holidays. Students also created a Venn diagram outlining the differences between the American and Chinese flags. “This is a tradition I’ve

been doing with my students since I first started teaching third grade nine years ago,” said McInturff. “Bringing the culture alive for my students allows them to learn and experience something by being a part of it, not just by simply reading

about it.” Her students are encouraged to wear red, as it is a sign of good luck in Chinese culture. Also, her class would like to thank Mr. Basalla, Intervention Specialist, for teaching them how to use their chopsticks!

Poland Local School District hosted its first Exceptional Art Show on April 10th. The event highlighted artwork of 84 students with developmental disabilities in Mahoning and Columbiana Counties.

"This event shines a light on the abilities that are typically overlooked by disabilities. As a team, we wanted to create a night that showcases the creative imagination that each individual holds,” said Lindsay Ignazio,

First they collected cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, paper plates and other recyclables. Then they designed and created a track that would carry a marble from start to finish. The Marble Track is a science project that second graders in Mrs. Krestel and Mrs. Koehler’s classes at Stadium Elementary really look forward to completing. The project addresses the Physical Science Standard: namely, that forces change the motion of an object. The students use trial and error to create tracks that will start, stop, speed up, and slow down a marble.

League of Women Voters of Trumbull County Educate a Student The League of Women Voters of Trumbull County recently held a nonpartisan Candidate's Forum at Harding High School. Samantha Pavlick, a junior at Howland High School assisted in the forum doing research for a paper due in her political science class. Her focus was on women in the work force plus how they were hired for their present position and their mentors that helped them stay on path to arrive in this day and age of equality. Feminism was a question all LWV members were asked about and their ideas of what it meant to them. Samantha assisted in the forum by aiding the LWV members at the question proofing table and being the runner between the table and the mediators on stage. Samantha was also able to hear the 3 candidates vying for the seat in Trumbull County's Family Court and the 3 candidates running for the position of Trumbull County Commissioner. LWV member Gwen Logan, the Trumbull County Dog Warden, sat with Samantha for 15 minutes, answered questions for her research assignment and showed her how the timing table at the forum operated. LWV President, Peggy Boyd walked her through her life by answering the question; "Who was your mentor?" Education was the basis of this answer. The League of Women Voters of Trumbull County is a nonpartisan political organization which encourages, informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public poli-

free books, thanks to a donation from NEOEA, the Campbell Education Association (CEA) and the Mayor. Mayor Phillips read his favorite excerpt from The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein after talking to students about his “top 10 best reasons to love reading.” He also provided each student with a copy of the book The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch. Each classroom was also visited by a mystery reader who read their favorite books to students. Mystery Readers included

Principal Jim Goske, School Resource Officer James Conroy, Lori Pezzano and Campbell Police Officer Melissa Williams.

The event was such a success thanks to generous grant money from the school CEA and the local Giant Eagle donating breakfast.

Students Earn More Than a Grade for Class Project Taking on a brand new program, and project with just weeks left in the school year, that’s exactly what a group of students and staff at Columbiana High School (CHS) did. El Vallarta, a Mexican restaurant partnered with Columbiana High School for the project. General Manager, Juan Vazquez, wants to improve the customer satisfaction experience at his Poland restaurant, get new customers in the door, and also increase the number of returnin g customers. Vazquez invited students to his restaurant, and presented the areas he wants to improve on. Students had four weeks to come up with evidence based proposals for Vazquez. The project is part of a new program at Columbiana High School called Wildfire Education. Doris Korda is the founder of Wildfire Education. Her method, the Korda Method, teaches students in a different way. “Where students gain depth of knowledge, so deep learning and develop skills while solving a real problem that involves someone in the community on teams,” said Doris Korda, Founder of the Korda Method. Students in the Broadcast English Class at CHS worked in teams, each team had to come up with a specific idea to address the issues Vazquez presented. One group looked at the restaurant’s target audience, and how far people are willing to drive to go to a restaurant. “We showed him the area within 10 miles with the least competition of other Mexican restaurants in the area, and we thought he should focus on advertising and marketing to those people,” said Paige Herbert, Senior at Columbiana High School. Another team focused on a loyalty and rewards program, while another

team looked at environment and the psychology behind environment, how factors like lighting and color play a big part in customer experience. “It was challenging because you don’t just have to look up the topic you’re doing, you have to look up another topic that leads to another topic to help your main topic,” said Zach Philips, Senior at Columbiana High School. Patricia Missos teaches the Creative Entrepreneurship Class and Tech and Business classes at CHS. In the past, she’s had students work with businesses, some even as interns. This often required a lot of from a business, including a time commitment. Using this Korda Method, students only took three hours of Vazquez’s time, 90 minutes the day he presented his business issues, the other 90 minutes was for student presentations. As soon as the initial meeting was done, students got to work. “Kids had to do research on their own, we didn’t say what direction to go into, they had to figure

Leigh Yallech Memorial Reverse Raffle Declared Another Success

The Campbell City Schools Faculty and Staff come together each year to remember Leigh Yallech, and to raise money in her name to help Campbell students. The third annual Leigh Yallech Memorial Reverse Raffle was held on April 13th. The annual event is hosted by Rob and Justine Truslow in honor of former Campbell teacher, Leigh Yallech. Yallech was a teacher with Campbell City Schools for 17 years, before passing away suddenly from a stroke in October 2015. The event helps raise money for two CMHS scholarships in Yallech’s honor; one for a student pursuing education and one for a student pursuing cosmetology. “I just wanted to thank everyone involved in putting on the Leigh Yallech Reverse Raffle,” said Justine. “Thanks to generous donations and ticket sales, we were able to raise $720 toward the Leigh Yallech Scholarship Fund.” Campbell would like to extend special thanks to the Truslows for hosting the event, the Campbell K-7 PTO for their donations, and Steve and Shirley Willich for providing the entertainment. “The support of the faculty and staff in purchasing tickets and gift donations is what makes this event a growing success every year,” said teacher Lisa Jackson.

everything out on their own,” said Missos. Students followed the principles of the Korda Method, and even presented their projects mid-way through to Korda, when she made a special stop at CHS. During this visit, she gave them tips and suggestions about their presentations, and encouraged more evidence based solutions in the presentations. On April 5, 2018, students presented their final projects to Vazquez, who said he thought the presentations were good, and pointed out some changes he can easily make in his restaurant, based on student presentations. Korda also came for the presentations, and said she was impressed with the growth students made in a matter of a few weeks. “What they’re developing and using are the same skills in order to solve problems that don’t have answers in the back of the book, and are real for someone out there,” said Korda. The four week project also taught students valuable lessons about working in

teams, the importance of research and for many students, the project forced them to face their fear of public speaking. Columbiana High School learned about Wildfire Education in the fall of 2017, and attended a session at Youngstown State University. CHS said YSU sponsored and paid for CHS staff to go through Wildfire Education training in Columbus in January of 2018. The three day session prepared teachers for implementing the program in the high school’s Broadcast English class. Wildfire Education is going to be incorporated into the Creative Entrepreneurship Class next school year. Students will work on a project for a business each nine weeks in the semester. CHS teachers Patricia Missos and Alana Rivello are working on finding businesses in the community to partner with for next school year.

Several new 4-H members were welcomed at the April meeting of Western Reserve Rangers. Those included were: Ivan Huber, Avery Mountain, Mikayla Salovich, Abby Susak, Emily Williams and Kahlan Wolf. Recreation Leaders Camille Kirk and Abby Susak led a fun get acquainted game where all members and advisors participated. President Natalia Kresic preseted Appreciation Certificates from the Veterans of Foreign Wars to Dailen Brown, Isabel Schors and herself for their participation in the Wreaths for Veterans Program in December. Not present to receive her certificate was Paige Christoff. Members, parents and advisors signed a birthday card for Bill Phillips, a retired County 4-H Agent, who celebrated his 94th birthday in April. Ten members and advisors shared interesting activities they participated in at the 2018 Volunteer and Teen Conference held at the Columbus Convention Center in March. Reporting were: Isabel Schors, Emma Reph, Olivia Reph, Robin Reph, Will Reph, Natalia Kresic, Bob Day, Karen Day, Jan Moser and Kathleen Moser. The most interesting comments were from Natalia Kresic who shared her experience about riding a stationary bicycle that powered a blender mixing a smoothie during a Health Heroes Session. Many of the youth who assisted with the 4-H Sponsored Easter Egg Hunt report on how they helped the activity run smoothly. Egg Hunt Committee members Abby Schors and Isabel Schors shared that a record breaking ten thousand eggs were put out in the fields for the youth to collect. Ivan Huber and Cayden Jones said they had the most fun picking up many eggs as they participated in the hunt. Both boys related that they won at least several prizes. Special guest speaker at the May 18th meeting will be Officer Joel Gensler, resource officer for Western Reserve Schools. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Ellsworth Fire Hall.

Makayla Ginnis knows how important literacy is. The YSU Early Childhood Education major is in her final semester, and is completing her student teaching at Poland’s Dobbins Elementary School. In March, she decided to start a community project with the third grade class she’s student teaching in. She wanted to collect books to give to families and children who might not have access to books. The book drive was for two weeks, but the bulk of the donations came in after spring break. Ginnis estimates around 400 books were donated after spring break, bringing the total number of donations to 640! Donations came from the Dobbins Family and the community. “I just simply left a box, and the community did the rest,” said Ginnis. Some of Ginnis’ students also added a personal touch for the book drive, by drawing the covers of their favorite books. “Just to give to the kids and their families who will be receiving the books, so they’ll get a nice picture of their favorite stories or books.” said Ginnis. Ginnis said books will be donated to the Little Free Library in Poland and Youngstown, the Sojourner House and the Beatitude House. Ginnis said she was able to add the Beatitude House as a donation because of receiving so many books through the book drive.

Second grade is not too young to teach business principles to children. That was the main goal of the Carnival Project at Stadium Drive Elementary. But the big payoff was giving back to the community: a total of 1,764 pounds of food was donated to Second Harvest Food Bank to be distributed to area food pantries, includ-

ing the Pantry at Boardman Center Intermediate School. The Carnival ran at the end of March, and second graders organized all the activities including refreshments, an arcade, game station, face painting, and pin the tail. Students who attended got extra tickets if they brought in nonperishable food items.

Austintown Rotary welcomes community speakers

“This is part of our economics unit,” said second grade teacher Brittany Krestel. “The booths are all student run and planned with little help from their teachers. We were so excited to bring in 1900 food items this year, all while our students had a good time and learned some basic business principles.”

Shannon Lehn, representing Austintown Farmers Market, visited the Rotary Club of Austintown to explain her vision to expand and create a more family friendly envionment for the Monday evening events. Growing past baked goods, fruits and vegetables, handicrafts and other local vendors, she will add educational programs, music, demonstrations, and ways to showcase local organizations and nonprofits. The Austintown Trustees and Park staff are very supportive and offer both outdoor space for favorable weather and indoor space if needed. Lenh will be reaching out to groups and organizations to choose one of 14 Mondays this summer for this showcase activity. Also present was Debbie Liptak of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, who received a check for $500 from the Rotary for the Summer Reading Program. Liptak thanked Rotary for their many years of contributions to this vital program.

West Branch Middle School students are teaming up with NASA and INVENTORcloud as part of their Let It Glide Initiative. The students in Denise Ginocchi’s STEM class have been challenged to design a balsa wood glider and make improvements to it so that it will fly successfully. As part of the project, Ginocchi’s class, along with a classes from South Range, Windham, Western Reserve and Girard, participated in a video conference with Dave Friedlander and Dr. Eric Hendricks, Aerospace Engineers from NASA Glenn and Fran Rifici, Senior Project Coordinator. During the conference, Hendricks spoke about the science of flight, the makeup of the glider design and the space shuttle program. Students were also able to ask them questions in regards to the physics of flight, rockets, gliders and careers in NASA.

In recognition of April being National Child Abuse Prevention month, members of the GFWC Ohio Austintown Jr. Women’s League assembled pinwheels that were placed at the Austintown Twp. Park. General Federation of Women’s Clubs across the nation will be creating pinwheel gardens to show support for this campaign. Also during the April meeting, members collected non perishable goods to donate to the 2nd. Harvest Food Bank. A presentation by YSU Honors students Ryanne Lambert, Hannah Crites, & Jillian Penman informed the club on the Pen Pal Program students from YSU participate in with elementary students in Mahoning and Trumbull counties. This unique program help the young students improve their writing skills, spelling, and vocabulary. Much more information and photos from this recent meeting can be found on Facebook at AJWL2014.

The Green Team brought their underwater puppet show, with a very important message, to the kindergarten classrooms at Campbell Elementary/Middle School. Peg Flynn and Kim Lewis brought the underwater puppets to life in a puppet show with a very important message; the importance of recycling. A small turtle got a 6-pack ring stuck around its flippers and various animals, including a fish, a duck, a beaver and a crab, tried to offer him help to free his flippers from the plastic. Finally the crab was able to free the struggling turtle from the 6-pack ring. Lewis and Flynn taught students about how recycling materials properly can help save animals, like the turtle, from harm. Each student was also given a recycling coloring book as a prize.

Third grade students at Hilltop Elementary School in Canfield are learning about Economics and Philanthropy. Mrs. Beil's class raised $185 for the Walnut Grove Special Needs playground through their business “Flip Grip Clipboards.” During the unit, students studied producers, consumers & supply and demand. Beil says, “They participated all areas of the business, including assembling of the boards, taking orders, packaging and the importance of final inspection.” The students designed their logo, voted on the slogan and chose where the funds would be donated. The students selected Walnut Grove, a special needs playground, to donate the funds to because they are looking forward to seeing kids from all over Ohio using the playground in Canfield.
