Aviary Adventure Underway at African Safari Wildlife Park

African Safari Wildlife Park Staff broke ground last week on a new animal exhibit in celebration of their 50th Season this year. Aviary Adventure will be a walk-through exhibit where Guests can have an engaging encounter with hundreds of colorful budgies. Budgies, commonly known as parakeets, are small birds that come in a variety of color patterns native to Australia. Guests will be able to interact directly with the birds by purchasing feed sticks, which will allow the birds to perch and eat seed while the Guest holds the stick. The Aviary will house approximately 300 budgies. "This new and interactive experience will be an exciting addition to our Park," said Acting General Manager, Kelsey Keller. "For our 50th Season this year, we wanted to develop something new and WILD to celebrate, and we believe Aviary Adventure is the perfect fit. It is our first ever interactive bird experience for the Park." Located in the Walk-Thru Safari between the Educational Animal Programs' pavilion and the Camel Ride Station, the new bird encounter attraction is 96 feet long, giving Guests a large area to walk through and experience these birds from down-under. The addition of Aviary Adventure continues the Park's lifelong Mission of providing Guests with an interactive animal experience while promoting the appreciation of wildlife. The Aviary Adventure is scheduled to open Mother's Day weekend, 2018. The Park's first Extended Weekend is the same weekend, with Camel Rides and Educational Animal Programs being available on both May 12 and 13. The first Summer Season day for the Park is May 25. The Midwest's only Drive-Thru Safari, African Safari Wildlife Park, is located at 267 S. Lightner Rd. in Port Clinton, Ohio. It is open daily through December 2nd, 2018.

This year’s Summerfest will empower the

works of Dr. Seuss to lead the way into a fabulous artistic adventure. The various workshops offered are for children ages 4 and up, and will be held Monday, June 25 through Thursday, June 28, 2018. Registration is required for workshops and can be done through the Trumbull Art Gallery.

James D. Buss, 61 LAW CAPSULES HOW LONG CAN CLAIMS BE FILED AFTER A DEATH? Ohio recognizes that families should not have to wait forever to know that all bills and claims have been submitted after a death. Revised Code 2117.06 requires all creditors claims to be filed with the executor or administrator or the court within six months after the date of death whether or not the creditor is aware of the death. Sometimes an estate may not be filed immediately if there are substantial debts that cannot be paid. A creditor can file an estate if the family does not file one to preserve its rights. But until there is a fiduciary appointed, a formal claim cannot be filed and the claim may not be enforceable. Of course, if there another person directly liable on the debt, that person cannot avoid the claim. The family should not pay the bills of a decedent without first checking with an attorney as they may have no personal liability. For your full service legal needs, call Hoffman and Walker Co., LPA

The Carbonated Church: Shaken, Not Stirred

TEXT: ACTS God’s Methods of Shaking Us: 1-Conviction John 16:8, “And when He [The Holy Spirit] has come, He will convict the world of sin…” 2-Circumstances Acts 9:8-9, “As Saul picked himself up off the ground, he found that he was blind. So his companions led him by the hand to Damascus. He remained there blind for three days. And all that time he went without food and water.” 3-Casualty, the loss of health, wealth, a valued item, or freedom. -Examples: Acts 5 & 1 Corinthians 11 4 – Comfort zone-move out of it and let the Holy Spirit guide you to be a fruitful disciple. (Acts 8:1-4) On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison. Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went... PERSECUTION SUMMARY What good can come out of persecution? Blessings! A. A Sign (Luke 21:12; Mark 10:29-30; John 15:20; 1 Thess. 2:15; 2 Tim. 3:12) Discipleship B. Scattering (Matt. 10:23) The Word is taken to others. C. Salvation (Matt. 5:44; Rom. 12:14) Evangelism brings converts. D. Strength (2 Cor. 12:10; Heb. 13:3) Faith grows. E. Sanctification (James 1: 1-18) Transformed to be like Jesus. F. Spiritual Riches (Mark 10: 29-30; Matt. 5:10-12: 2 Thess. 1:312; 1 Pet. 4: 12-19) Testimony living faithfully is rewarded here on earth and in eternity. Count it all joy when we face various trials (James 1:2) Stand for Christ! Be shaken so your fizz is recognized. Every Christian teaches and preaches every day, not just the paid staff of the church. You and Me!

Good Natured Garden Partners to Kick off Summer Programs

Gardening weather is quickly approaching, and so is summer vacation. It may seem like these two things have nothing in common with each other, but with the Good Natured Garden Partners (GNGP) program, they work hand in hand. With the GNGP program, OSU Extension aims to teach children all about gardening and how their food is produced. Participation in the program is based off of a team structure. A “Growing Team” may be formed by any group of children, and must be led by an adult volunteer(s). The adult volunteer will fill out a volunteer form in order to receive free seeds and plants for their group, which will then plant a garden and compete for prizes and recognition at the end of summer. Teams are responsible for finding their own garden plot or container garden. Throughout the summer, teams will attend the gardening kick-off event May 28 and are required to attend at least two other gardening events.

Celebrate the Holida Sending greeting cards—an ongoing tradition Greeting cards are a popular method of correspondence throughout the year. Cards are purchased for birthdays, graduations and milestone events. One of the more popular times of the year to find cards purchased and sent in bulk is during the holiday season. The Greeting Card Association claims 1.6 billion Christmas card units (including boxed cards) are purchased for Christmas. Many people consider sending cards essential to their holiday traditions. Here are some statistics on greeting cards and ways to improve upon your Christmas card sending process. · Women purchase an estimated 80 percent of all greeting cards and will spend more time choosing a card than men. · The vast majority of individually purchased cards are between $2 and $4 in price. Christmas card economy is found by purchasing boxed cards in bulk. · The visual design of a greeting card is the first to capture a person's attention, but the saying within will have a greater impact. Consider purchasing cards that are blank inside so you can add your own personalized sentiments. · For the perfect balance of imagery and verse, try a photo greeting card. This way you can customize both the image and the wording. They're even effective for business correspondence. Simply use a picture of your office team or other workers in place of a family photo. · Personalized cards need to be purchased early to allow for production. Try to get your orders in by early November to leave you time to address and mail them. · Buy extra cards than you think you need. This way you can send reciprocal greetings to a person who has mailed you a card this year. · If you want your card to stand out from the masses, consider sending it separately from the big holidays. Thanksgiving or New Year's cards can be unique. · Try your hand at creating your own greeting cards from papercrafting materials. You also can embellish readymade greeting cards with stamps, glitter, stickers, and other customized effects. · Keep a database of addresses saved on your computer. Then you can print address labels and save much time handaddressing Christmas cards. Your address list can later be customized for other friend or family events. · Check the postage of your card. Oddly shaped envelopes or even square cards may require extra postage because

they could be processed by hand at postal facilities. · The Greeting Card Association says that even though many people use digital means of communication, greeting card traditions are still popular and even are being adopted by today's youth.

ay Spirit Year-Round! Shop locally during the holiday season - and year-round Shopping is a big part of the holiday season, when families and friends gather to reconnect and exchange gifts. While the popularity of shopping online has grown, such practices are not always eco-friendly or timely, as gifts bought online must be packaged and shipped, wasting valuable resources and time that last-minute

shoppers may not have. The benefits of shopping locally go beyond convenience and the chance to reduce your carbon footprint. The following are a few ways that shopping locally this holiday season can directly benefit your community and the people who call it home. Local economy When men and wom-

en shop locally, they are putting money back into their local communities. Local small businesses may be owned by your neighbors, and it can be comforting to know that your holiday shopping dollars are going to support a neighbor instead of a large corporation. Local businesses also employ your neighbors, so shopping local can strengthen

the local economy by creating jobs that may not exist if you and members of your community fail to support local small businesses. Community identity Local small businesses go a long way toward creating a neighborhood identity, and that identity can create a stronger sense of community among you and your neighbors. In

addition, a unique community identity can make your town more attractive to outsiders, and that appeal can improve the value of local real estate while also attracting more people to local businesses in your neighborhood. Uniqueness of gifts The gifts you buy when shopping locally also can benefit your community. Gifts purchased from small local businesses tend to be more unique than items bought from national chains, as smaller retailers tend to sell more homemade items than their national competitors. Recipients of such items may find such gifts more thoughtful than mass produced items bought from national chains, and the uniqueness of homemade gifts may encourage the gifts' recipients to visit your community and do some shopping, further benefitting your local economy. Customer service The accessibility of customer service is another oft-overlooked benefit of shopping locally. When

buying from national chains, especially during the holiday season when such businesses may be overwhelmed with orders, making contact with customer service departments can be a trying exercise in patience. Long wait times on the phone or online can make the process of contacting customer service extremely frustrating. But such frustration is rare when buying from local businesses, as consumers can simply take their products into the store, where employees can immediately address their concerns. In addition, buying locally makes it more convenient for friends and family members who also live in your community to return their gifts.

Mahoning County Agencies taking back unused medication Prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications play an important role in treating certain conditions and diseases. However, many are highly susceptible to misuse and abuse. Many abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends from the home medicine cabinet. Flushing medications down the toilet or throwing them away in the trash is not recommended because of potential safety and health hazards. ALL medications need to be disposed of properly. On Saturday, April 28th, 2018 from 10 AM to 2 PM, unused, unwanted, and ex-

pired pills/patches (no sharps/needles, liquids, inhalers, or medical waste) can be brought to the Mahoning County sites listed below for proper disposal. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Boardman School Board Approves Johnston Fireman’s Association New Policy: Phys Ed Waivers holds Spring Craft / Vendor Show The Boardman School Board Monday, April 23, approved a policy change that will enable school athletes, cheerleaders, and marching band members to be excused from the physical education graduation requirement. The PE Waiver is in accordance with Senate Bill 311, and will allow students in grades 9-10 to be excused, as long as they participate in two full seasons of athletics, cheerleading, and/or marching band. They would also be required to complete one half credit in another course of study. High School Principal Cindy Fernback says the change will make it easier for many students trying to fit more classes into their schedules, who are often compelled to take PE over the summer at a charge of $150. “Many Ohio schools take advantage of the waiver opportunity so that students already involved in physically challenging programs and practices can use their class time to explore other options that may interest them,” According to Fernback. “It’s also a recognition by the Board, of the rigor and high quality athletic coaching that our kids are receiving in Boardman.” Marching Band also meets the State’s-- and now Boardman’s-- Waiver standard. Band Camp in August is 8 hours a day, and they march and perform for months on end. “We believe both parents and students will be happy about the flexibility the waiver will provide,” said Fernback. The guidance office will begin accepting waivers now for next school year. All forms must be verified by a coach, director or advisor.

The money collected by our Council goes to help the children at The Rich Center for Autism located on the Y.S.U. Campus. So please be generous and come to one or both of these locations on the dates mentioned and help the Knights help our less fortunate sisters and brothers.

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 If Cremation is your choice

Complete Direct Cremation

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 330-5593175, 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.

A ‘Rabbinic’ Reading of The Sermon on The Mount

Zev Rosenberg will make use of his background in Hebrew, Aramaic and Rabbinic literature to indicate how a first century Jewish teacher in the Rabbinic movement might have read The Sermon on Mount as Jesus would have delivered it in Aramaic. A fuller understanding of this crucial text requires some understanding of how it would have been heard in its original cultural, religious and linguistic context. The presentation will take place in Westminster Hall at Christ Presbyterian Church, 530 Tuscarawas St W, Canton, OH 44702, phone (330) 456-8113 on Sunday, April 29, at 9:1510:15 a.m. As usual the class is free and open to the public. All are welcome. Please join us.

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.

Women’s Leadership Luncheon Empowers Women By Victoria Remley

The first Women’s Leadership Luncheon at the Kent State Trumbull Campus helped motivate women to power through the rest of the semester. Alicia Robinson, the assistant director of the Women’s Center at Kent State University, said the luncheon focused on helping Kent State Women achieve success. “The Women’s Leadership Luncheon was a way for us to reach out to our women leaders on regional campuses, to bring us all together, provide a sense of community and support, empower them to continue to be women leaders and to see what they need to continue on their path to success,” Robinson said. Anyone passionate about leadership at Kent State University can attend leadership events. “If they’re feeling kind of burnt out or tired and they need to be empowered and also if they want to see change on their campus they should come. We’re very passionate about expanding our regional campuses and supporting our women leaders across the board. We just really wanted to hear from their voices today,” Robinson said. Robinson and her team decided to hold the event because they knew something needed to happen on Kent State Campuses. “March was Women’s History Month and we did a lot of things to celebrate female success on the campus. We thought April was a good time, because we’re not super busy at Kent, to bring people together. We want to roll out our Women’s Leader Ambassador Program,” Robinson said. Robinson started planning the event around February. “Me and Dr. Rashid met together and talked about what a good format would be. We didn’t want anything to be too long. We didn’t want it to be too short. We wanted people to leave feeling empowered and we wanted them to leave feeling like their voice was heard. We set those goals and kind of worked backward from there,” Robinson said. Robinson wants to do a women’s leadership initiative at least once every semester. “We will definitely have something in the Fall. It will probably be a luncheon, but we will do different things than what we did today. We’ll have a different aim, a different goal. It might be us coming in to do a leadership training or something,” Robinson said. Nicolette Fenlock from Ashtabula County said she hopes the luncheon will continue every year. “This is the first time we’ve done something like this at Trumbull. So often there’s really exciting meaningful events happening at the main campus. That we can offer this hear at Trumbull I think the whole campus is excited about it,” Fenlock said. Fenlock wanted to find out what opportunities would be presented at the luncheon. “I was looking forward to see people from Trumbull and all over the entire University, to meet some new people and to really get involved,” Fenlock said. Chelsie Brush from East Liverpool appreciated the information boards about women award winners. “I’m familiar with a few of these people and they’re excellent speakers that have innovative ideas that they give out. I really like that,” Brush said. Brush received the Sage Award Project and was invited to the luncheon. “I thought it would be good to partake in and if they’re going to recognize me as being a woman leader I might as well attend something where I can be around other likeminded people,” Brush said. The next Women’s Leadership Luncheon will be Fall 2018.

YSU’s Cinderella for Music and Play Lovers By Victoria Remley

Youngstown State University’s production of Cinderella allowed people in the area to view an operatic production. Misook Yun, a professor at the Dana School of Music, said this version of Cinderella has a twist to it. “In the Disney version of it, Cinderella got help from the mice and birds to get ready for the ball. In this version, Maven’s version, there’s no mice or birds, but a fairy godmother is helping Cinderella along with the sprites,” Yun said. Yun chose the opera by speaking to other faculty members. “Many years ago, we did Cosi Fan Tutte in Italian with an English recitative and we did the Medium last year by Mozart with Singspiel, which has spoken dialogue in it. So, I thought that pedagogically it makes sense for us to do something French and something a little more romantic,” Yun said. The students prepared for the production with weeks of rehearsal time. “We had to divide it into different sections. Sometimes we would take certain singers out and coach them separately and then put smaller ensembles together. In the meantime, the chorus was rehearsing separately so they would know their parts really well. Once lead singers knew their parts really well we combined the two parts,” Yun said. The community can see all the hard work the students and faculty put into the opera by going to a production. “If you like the play, if you like music, if you like dance, if you like orchestra music it’s a combination of all of those in one. The quality is good, it’s all the things you like and we have beautiful costumes to look at,” Yun said. Katy Howells from Beaver County, Pennsylvania said the opera is not something the community hears all the time. “It’s not a type of music that is often played. It’s a collegiate performance, so it’s not professional. It’s not something that you have to get super dressed up for and spend a hundred dollars to go get a good seat at a show. It’s just a nice performance,” Howells said. Amanda Bertilacci from Niles, Ohio said the opera includes fairies. “Usually you don’t see fairies and sprites every day. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from everyday life and just imagine something different,” Bertilacci said. Clara Kent from Youngstown, Ohio thought the opera was great. “It kept my attention and the music was fantastic. The set was beautiful. It was really good,” Kent said. Kent heard about the event through a friend. “I homeschool, and we want to get as much diversity in as possible, so we thought we would check it out,” Kent said. Bill Ramsey from East Liverpool, Ohio said the production was fantastic. “It’s a school field trip so we came up here and it was excellent. Cinderella’s father was a student of ours, so that’s why we’re up here. They did fantastic. I loved how the gentlemen came out and helped the little kids understand what was going on,” Ramsey said. Ramsey came to the opera for a choir field trip. Cinderella took place at YSU’s Ford Theater April 20 through the 22.

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.

Canfield High School congratulates junior Aidyn Jones! She has earned national recognition in the 2018 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Kevin Hoops, teacher says, "by receiving this prestigious award she has demonstrated that she is among the most talented young artists and writers in the nation." Her charcoal drawing, Yellow-Eyed Monster, has earned a National Gold Medal in the category of Drawing and Illustration. Only the top 1% received a National Medal. Students in grades 9-12 submitted nearly 350,000 entries. Since 1923, the Awards have recognized creative teenagers from across the nation. By receiving a Scholastic Art & Writing Awards National Medal, Ms. Jones joins a legacy of celebrated authors and artists including: Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Robert Redford, Joyce Carol Oates, and the renowned author and illustrator, who will receive an Alumni Achievement Award this year, Marc Brown. Ms. Jones and Mr. Hoops are invited to New York City for the National Ceremony at Carnegie Hall on June 7, 2018.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

chose to create a handout/ pamphlet to pass out. “The presentation objective behind this type of project is to help better prepare our students for college,” said Lowery. “Most colleges require students to complete and present their findings to an audience using this type of poster presentation for graduation.”

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!

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!

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.

Struthers Rotary discusses history of Easter Seals

Kounty Kritters 4H Club Keeping Busy

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. Watch for them this month handing out 'random acts of kindness.' Contributed Photos.

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.

Biography Bottles Presentation at Joshua Dixon Elementary

Cora McAndrews studied Anne Frank for her biography bottle assignment. Easton Shuto studied Harry Houdini. Avery Young studied Roberto Clemente.

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."

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

Struthers Rotary Learns About Williams Syndrome

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].

Two student teachers at Campbell Elementary/ Middle School, with the help of several local groups’ donations, organized an event to provide free books to students. Krista Spencer and Francesca Pezzano, third grade student teachers from YSU, organized a successful Breakfast with a Book event for the third grade students in Campbell. Each student invited a special guest to join them for breakfast on April 12 and hear a story, read by Mayor Nick Phillips. Each student was also given two

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.

AJWL assemble pinwheels, Salem Historical Society Museum Encourages Visitors learn about Pen Pal Program

Shoe Restoration Is New Business Recent visitors to the Salem Historical Society Museum were Isabella Vingle (center) and her mother, Tegan (left).

Boy Scouts Hike Mill Creek Park

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.

Members of Troop 8 in Leavittsburg, Ohio hiked 11 miles of Mill Creek Park recently. The boys learned how to prepare and pack for a hike, how to be safe on the trail, and how to leave no trace on the environment. They had the opportunity to plan their own meals and cook them during the hike. They were able to use the teamwork and leadership skills they have learned through scouting and made memories that will last a lifetime. Contributed Photo.

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

MCCTC Culinary Program receives scholarship from Boardman Rotary

The Culinary program at the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center received a $1,000 scholarship from the Boardman Rotary to give to a graduating Culinary student.

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.

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.

Hundreds of Books Donated for Community Project

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.

Knowledge is power, and students at Dobbins Elementary in Poland gained lots of knowledge through reading: 151,840 minutes of reading to be exact. It was all part of this year’s Read-a-Thon at Dobbins. Third and fourth grade students surpassed the school’s reading goal of 110,00 minutes, by reading 41,840 additional minutes. From February 5th-25th students logged reading hours. Students could read before and after school, and also during approved reading time at a school. Some students even spent recess logging reading minutes. Around 120 students reached the individual reading goal of 400 minutes, 39 students read more than 1,200 minutes individually during the 20-day reading window. Some students got to “Slime the Teacher” because of their reading minutes and pledges. The Read-a-Thon is a PTO fundraiser, 100% of money raised goes to Dobbins, and supports enrichment and field trips. Students were able to ask for sponsorship for reading hours. This year’s Read-a-Thon raised $8,812.76. A number of businesses stepped up as sponsors for the Read-a-Thon: Youngstown Skate, Warrior Warehouse, Kennywood Amusement Park, One Hot Cookie, and Extreme Air. “I would really like to thank the generosity of our sponsors. Our PTO did a fantastic job in reaching out to local businesses that would motivate our students, and these businesses responded,’” said Mike Daley, Principal, Dobbins Elementary. “We wouldn’t have the success without them.”

It’s a tradition for third grade students at JacksonMilton Elementary: the annual cabbage plant growing contest! Cabbage plants went home with third grade students on April 13th. Along with the plant, students also get a growing guide. It’s all part of the Bonnie Plant Cabbage Program. According to the company’s website, the cabbage program is a way to get students interested in gardening, and also lets students see first-hand a growing system. The program also awards a $1,000 scholarship to a student in each state participating in the program. Cabbages take up to 12 weeks to mature once they are planted, so students will email their pictures this summer to their third grade science and social studies teacher, Tammy Snyder, who will then select a winner from each class to submit to the Bonnie Company at the end of the summer. The project teaches students about growing, and how plants need air, water and sunlight to survive, but Snyder said it also teaches students another valuable lesson. “The program helps teach responsibility, and gives the successful gardener a sense of pride when they see what they have grown,” said Snyder.

Longtime Boardman School Board member Kim Poma was honored by the Boardman Civic Association with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 28th Annual Academic Achievement Banquet on April 16. Poma served the Boardman Schools for 32 years, the first 16 as a PTA member and president, and then as a Board of Education member for the following 16 years, also serving time as President. She retired from the Board in January. Civic Association member and emcee Mark Luke described Kim as extremely dedicated to the schools and the Boardman community, calling it a “labor of love”. She’s resided in Boardman since 1985, and she and her late husband, Jim, raised their two children here. “During her tenure of work with the Boardman Schools, the District maintained academic excellence and fiscal responsibility,” said Luke. “Of course, Kim would be the first to credit the Boardman taxpayers, families, students and school staff for the continued, excellent performance.” Poma graciously accepted the award, and it was evident her support of the schools and the community is far from over. She was very encouraging to the room full of graduating seniors, who were there to be honored for their academic achievements.

Special guests are making appearances at JacksonMilton Elementary School this month. It’s all part of Career Month for second grade students. A police officer, firefighter, semi-truck owner, salon owner, dental hygienist, farmer and a logistical retailer are just some of the careers students have learned about. On Wednesday, students heard from Kevin Felger with Life Care Medical Services, and got to check out the inside of medical transport. JMES teacher, Tricia Bettura, said career exploration is part of the social studies economics lesson. Second grade students are learning about different jobs and how to earn an income. “So we discuss careers, and what the students want to be when they grow up. I like to show them that college is an option, but there are other career options as well,” said Bettura.
