For the past 10 years, the 5th grade students at Brookfield Middle School work hard to raise money for Hoops for Heart as part of their Physical Education class. This year, students who raised money for the cause spent an hour in the gym, with PE teacher Keith Joseph, shooting hoops for the cause. The 5th grade students raised a total of $500 to donate to Hoops for Heart.

Village of McDonald prepares suitcase full of history

Do you remember that anxious feeling you got when you were called to the principal's office? For three students at Union Elementary, reporting to the principal's office was their assignment for the day. A student from kindergarten, first grade and second grade filled in as Principal for A Day April 25-27th. It was all part of the Union's effort to raise money for Poland's Relay for Life, which is June 23rd at Dave Pavlansky Field. The Relay Committee sold raffle tickets, and a winning ticket was picked for each grade level. The raffle raised around $1,500.00 for the American Cancer Society. Each day as principal started off with a call home, letting mom and dad know

what was scheduled for the day, and it was a busy day! The "principals" walked around the school, and checked on every classroom to make sure everyone was safe, and doing what they're supposed to be doing. Then it was off to a meeting with the head custodian and a Poland Police Officer. Officer Steve Kent took the "principals" for a ride in his cruiser, which included a stop at the Board Office for a meeting with Superinten-

dent, Dave Janofa. There were other stops throughout the day, one of the student principals delivered potted flowers from Union's Greenhouse to staff at the middle school. Some of the “principals” have older siblings in the district, and called them into the principal’s office, gave their sibling detention and even a no homework pass! This is the first time Union has had “Principal for a Day.”

The Village of McDonald will have something to celebrate its 100th birthday with a traveling history suitcase. (L. to r.) David Martin, Kyle Joynes and Chris Rupe are preparing to load a suitcase full of artifacts to help teach the history of McDonald to grade school students in the future. Rupe is trying to renew a similar program used by Jim Copham in the 1960's for third graders at Roosevelt School. Anyone who has small artifacts that would be of interest to school children can contact Mr. Rupe or post items and photos on the Facebook page The Historical Society of McDonald.

The Jewish Community Center of Youngstown was honored by the Liberty Local School district for its Swim Safe 500 program.

Second and fourth grade students in Liberty schools visit the JCC Natatorium for swim lessons during their school day as part of this program. The JCC is planning to expand the program to other interested school districts. This program is supported by The United Way of the Mahoning Valley, The Thomases Family Endowment of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation, and The Redwoods Group. For more information about Swim Safe 500, contact Sarah Wilschek at 330.746.3250, ext. 123 or [email protected].

GALLAVANTIN’ In memory of Jane A. Harris By SueEllen Harris-Davis Spring and all its beauty, Comes too slow for me, I long to see a flower bloom, And foliage clothe each tree. Well it’s finally here! Spring seems to have officially arrived with the pink and purple hyacinths in full bloom in my garden. Flowering trees are bursting forth with the magnolia tree my mom planted years ago adorning the yard with beauty even though the wind did take many blossoms to the ground this past weekend. Spring doesn’t seem to last very long so enjoy the beauty of it and the rebirth of all its colorful splendor! Girard High School Juniors and Seniors will enjoy Prom this week on Friday, May 4th. The event will be held at Squaw Creek Country Club with the Junior Class as hosts planning a wonderful event to honor Seniors of the Class of 2018. The theme this year is “Diamonds Are Forever.” Prom Court Candidates are Seniors Gina Pizzulo, Gabby Yanniello, Lorren Alejars, Francesca Byrne, and Abbey Porter as Candidates for Prom Queen and Dustin Allen, Michael Belcik, Aaron Blews, Nick Cordova, and Nick Racketa as Candidates for Prom King. Juniors as Candidates for Prom Princess include Gianna Battaglia, JoJo Parillo, Lauren Rich, Grace Swertfager, and Courtnee Molek and Candidates for Prom Prince include Aiden Warga, Josh Shepley, Brady Hunkus, Austin O’Hara, and Vincent Diernbach. Good Luck to all who have been selected by their classmates to represent their respective classes. The Junior Class Advisor is Angie Cochran and the Senior Class Advisor is Renny Paolone. The Prom Promenade will be held at the Girard High School Gymnasium on Friday, May 4th, at 6 p.m. with doors opening for spectator seating at 5 p.m. The Promenade is Open to the Public with admission free. Please take a seat on the bleachers so that the event can start on time. Students attending Prom should arrive early for the lineup as directed by class advisors. Students have been given necessary times of arrival at the Prom and directions for attending the event. Only those previously registered to attend Prom will be admitted at the designated time given by school officials who will be checking in each Prom guest at the door. Only approved students and their guests will be admitted. No parents or family members will be permitted at the Girard High School Prom. This is always an exciting evening for all in the Girard Community. My grandmother Grace graduated in about 1914 from the old Wilson Avenue Girard High School building where the parking lot is located on the corner of State Street and Wilson Avenue. She said that at that time the tradition was to have a seamstress who would create all the dresses for that week of events which included Prom and Graduation. I still have her original long dress which was used for the special events of the week. It is very delicate material and one of a kind that was specially made for her. The “Prom Tradition” connects many years of Girard families enjoying these special events together as memories are recalled by many households. Help these young people stay safe by being alert on the roads as many young drivers enjoy this once in a lifetime Tradition. Prospect Elementary School will hold its “Annual Invention Convention” presented by the third grade class at Prospect in the Cafeteria there from 5 to 6 p.m. on May 2nd.

This will be held in the Prospect School Cafeteria located near the entrance and school office. Dr. Debra Gratz is the Principal and can be contacted for addition information at 330-545-3854, Prospect School Office.

St. James’ To Hold Annual Animal Blessing

On Sunday, May 6 at 2 p.m., St. James’ Episcopal Church in Boardman will hold its annual Blessing of Animals. Rogation Sunday—the sixth Sunday after Easter each year—is a traditional time to give thanks for God’s creation. In a time more focused on rural life, Rogation Sunday was a day to bless the fields as the year’s crops were being planted and to bless the farm animals on whom the community’s life depended. St. James’ Church retains aspects of this old custom by blessing the companion animals whose presence enriches our lives. All animals are welcome. For the safety of all, dogs must be on leashes, cats in carriers, etc. Owners of animals who do not travel well are welcome to bring photos of their pets to be blessed. Each animal will receive an individual blessing. Treats for people and animals will be served after the blessing. If you don’t have an animal companion but love these special creatures, please come and join the fun. St. James’ Church is located at 7640 Glenwood Avenue in Boardman. For more information, contact the church office at 330/758-2727 or e-mail [email protected].

LAW CAPSULES PARTITION ACTIONS Joint ownership of property sometimes creates problems. Sometimes two or more children inherit their parent’s real estate or they are the recipients of a Transfer on Death Deed, and there is no agreement by the siblings to sell the property. Sometimes one of the beneficiaries decides to unilaterally move into the house without buying it or paying rent. Sometimes there is no agreement on how to divide a large tract of real estate in joint names. Ohio has a partition statute that allows one or more of the co-owners to file a complaint in the Common Pleas Court to require the property to be divided or sold or force one of the coowners to buy out the others by court order. The property will be appraised and sold by sheriff sale or auction. For your full service legal needs, call Hoffman and Walker Co., LPA

serve others." 1 Peter 2:9 10, “…for you have been chosen by God himself you are priests of the King, you are holy and pure, you are God's very own all this so that you may show to others how God called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were less than nothing; now you are God's own. Once you knew very little of God's kindness; now your very lives have been changed.” 2. I Must Be Willing. 1 Chron 28:9, “Worship and serve Him with your whole heart and with a willing mind.” Gal 5:13-14, “For you have been called to live in freedom — not freedom to satisfy your sinful nature, but freedom to serve one another in love.” 1 Peter 5:2, “Care for the flock of God entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly — not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.” 3. I Must Be Able. 1 Peter 4:11, “If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides…” Phil 4:13, “I can do everything through him who gives me strength. 1 Tim 1:12, “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.” 1 Cor 12:6-7, “There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church. Every Christian is given the gift of God’s unlimited love, and they are also given service gifts. Service gifts are given so that the believer can do their part in taking care of God’s people, the Church. Read the Scriptures, pray for insight, and the Holy Spirit will reveal to you what your gift or gifts are! This discovery will provide the fizz you need to do the ministry God needs you to do for His total program. God knows the big picture; we are a part of the puzzle. When we all work together peace, harmony, and love abound. The Real Ministry Problem: I am Ready and Able, but am I Willing?

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."

Song Composed for Columbiana High School

The inaugural performance of a song written specifically for Columbiana High School hit all the right notes. The Columbiana High School Band performed Agent 54: From the Case Files of Freddie Dixon at the spring concert on Sunday, April 22nd. The song was composed by Randall Standridge, and combines a jazz sound along with suspense. “The style should be very heroic and dramatic, with dynamic movement being somewhat exaggerated,” said Standridge. The Columbiana Band Program, along with its Director, Mr. Charles Miller, commissioned the song, which was made possible through the local community and family music department sponsorship. Mr. Miller started to pursue the idea after reading an article about another school with an original composition. Mr. Miller also went to the Ohio Music Education Association Professional Development conference in Cleveland, Ohio, and learned more about the process. “I contacted several prolific composers and was thrilled that Mr. Standridge was willing to take on the first commission for Columbiana High School,” said Miller. The contracting of the commission started in late May of 2017, and was finalized by early July. Along with composing the song, Standridge also provided the CHS Band with performance notes, emphasizing musical interpretation specific to style and performance. “Careful attention to tempo is essential to a successful performance. The indicated tempo is vital to making sure the piece has the correct character,” said Standridge. “I believe that the creation of this music marks a transition of music in Columbiana Schools. Through the commissioning project, our students were inspired to create original stories reflecting the spy theme, utilizing the music as the backing to their silent movie project, while others have begun composing their own original music,” said Miller. The selection premiered at the April 2018 Spring Concert, and will be performed again at the Class of 2018 Commencement Ceremony on May 20, 2018.

Hubbard Resident achieves Eagle Scout Isaac N. Coxson capped off an eleven-year involvement in Boy Scouts of America by completing all requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout. His achievement was officially recognized and celebrated with his family, scout leaders, fellow scouts, and friends during a ceremony and reception at the Corner House Christian Church on Sunday, April 22nd. During the ceremony scout leaders and fellow scouts commemorated Isaac's scouting accomplishments with a ceremony including challenges, an oath, and pledge. During the ceremony which was officiated by Committee Chairman Don Geras of Youngstown Troop 9055, Scoutmaster Rich Cook, Jr. officially bestowed the Eagle Scout rank to Isaac with a certificate, patch and pin. Festivities also involved Isaac's fellow scouts who read letters of commendation from several government officials as well as from the Boy Scouts of America. Among those who were in attendance to honor Isaac were Hubbard Mayor John Darko and Hubbard Township Chief of Police Todd Coonce. In sentimental mo-

ments during the ceremony Isaac presented "Eagle parent pins" to his proud parents, Dave and Kim Coxson of Hubbard, and a special mentor pin to Ed Burns, Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 9055. Fellow Eagle Scouts concluded the ceremony with an official welcome to Isaac to the brotherhood of Eagle Scouts. Isaac began his scouting venture as a Tiger in Troop 100 of Tidewater Council District located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Shortly after crossing over to Boys Scouts, his family moved to Ohio where he continued in as a scout in

Troop 9055 of the Whispering Pines District. He completed all requirements for Eagle last December including his project, which involved planning and organizing a Band Instrument Drive for Hubbard High School where Isaac has been a member of the Wind Ensemble, Marching Band, Jazz band, and Pep Band. The instrument drive resulted in the collection of twenty -one musical instruments to be used by students who are in Hubbard band. According to www.eaglescout.org barely more than 2 percent of the boys who enter Scouting achieve the rank of Eagle; however, Isaac is the second member of his family to earn this prestigious rank of Eagle Scout. His brother Hayden also accomplished this feat in 2015.

It would be great to see her and Amethyst get adopted together again! Her adoption fee is $20.18 and includes her spay, vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing, a microchip with registration and more.

Amethyst is a 1 ½ -year-old domestic medium hair, with tiger striped markings. Her coloring is unique, so call it what you like! She has beautiful green eyes and is a mostly white underneath with black down the back of her legs. There is a mixture of black and beige on top. She was born with a shortened tail. She was just adopted with Thumbelina, but they were returned at no fault of their own. She loves to be pet, but only when she wants to be and feels comfortable with you. If you’re looking for a lap cat, this is your girl! She loves her bed and to be combed. Her adoption fee is $20.18 and includes her spay, vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing, a microchip with registration and more.

Today’s job market is much more competitive. 63% of all U.S. jobs will require education beyond high school. 11% of Trumbull County residents have less than a high school equivalency. The Aspire Program in Trumbull County is excited to share all the services it offers adults of Trumbull County to help close this gap and provide workers with the skills needed for the in-demand jobs of today. Aspire is a frontline workforce readiness education program providing the fundamental skills adults need to be successful in the workforce. Aspire combines academic classes with career focused lessons that can lead to rewarding careers as well as high school equivalency (GED, and the new HiSET). Aspire offers a Getting Academically Prepared (GAP) class for those who already have a high school diploma or high school equivalency to remediate skills in reading, writing, or math in order to be successful in post-secondary education. This class provides individualized, self-paced, contextualized instruction at no cost to the student. As-

pire builds Adult Career Pathways in many fields. Because today’s job market is much more competitive, a Career Navigator is available to help students formulate a successful 3-part Education, Career and Life Plan. This is a guided plan that helps students explore a range of career options based on what they are passionate about, the education and training needed for these career choices, and the resources needed to select a program of study. If you left high school before graduation, there is another way to demonstrate you have the same skills and knowledge as a high school graduate – through testing and earning your high school equivalency (HSE) credential. When you receive your state-issued HSE credential, you’ll have the opportunity to advance your career, begin a training program, or continue your education on the college level. Until recently GED was the only high school equivalency test available. Today, Trumbull County is offering another option, the HiSET exam. The HiSET is available both in a paper/pencil version

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, including 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 non-perishable food items. “This is part of our economics unit,” said second grade

Mahoning Valley Lifelong Learning Institute will host STEAMfest in May The Mahoning Valley Lifelong Learning Institute (MVLLI) will host STEAMfest on Tuesday, May 15 from 4-6 p.m. in the Gathering Room at Ohio Living Park Vista. STEAM encompasses science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. This intergenerational event is free to the public. STEAMfest will feature local organizations including OH Wow! Children’s Center, Youngstown State University, The Butler Institute of American Art, The Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, the Mahoning Valley Historical Society, and more. Each organization will promote their STEAM programs and offer a STEAM-related activity. There will also be art displays by a few Ohio Living Park Vista residents. “At MVLLI, we always strive to keep our learners engaged with the latest information,” said Marise Sahyoun, MVLLI Director. She continued, “At STEAMfest, you’ll learn how all things science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics can be found right here in the Mahoning Valley. It’s an opportunity for people of all ages to spend time actively learning together. We’re encouraging our lifelong learners to invite their families to share in this unique experience.” MVLLI is a not-for-profit institution presented by Ohio Living Park Vista and based on the principal that keeping your mind active as you age is as important as keeping your body active. Each of the Institute’s five series of academic exploration (Arts and Culture, History and Political Science, Religion and Spirituality, Well-

ness and Rehabilitation, and STEM) has been thoughtfully selected to provide authentic experiences that unite to enrich mind, body and spirit. These lectures, offered in two semesters per year, aim to keep residents and the surrounding community active, social and engaged. Programs are available to residents of Ohio Living Park Vista at no charge and to the community at a minimal cost of $5-$15 which varies depending on the lecture. For more information or a complete list of classes, please visit MVLLI.org.

League of Women Voters of Trumbull County Updates

L to R: Kirsten Burkey, membership chairman, Iris Meltzer and Peggy Boyd, president LWVTC. Contributed Photo.

League of Women Voters of Trumbull County held their April meeting at the Howland Library featuring the informational topic “What is Issue 1?” Guest speaker was Iris Meltzer, past President of League of Women-Kent and now serving as secretary for the board of the League of Women Voters of Ohio. Her power point presentation gave reasons to vote yes on the proposed Constitutional Amendment. In doing so, she stated, a yes vote will create a fair, bipartisan, and transparent process when drawing congressional districts that will make politicians more accountable to the voters. A no vote, she stated would allow for one-party control, the voters could still hold their representatives responsible and thus vote against them if they believe those legislators are too partisan A fundraiser for the LWV was discussed during the business session. This fundraiser will be a Trumbull New Theater (TNT) comedy on May 10, 2018. Funds raised from ticket sales will be used in the educational fund to help print over 10,000 copies of the "Voter Information Guide" to be distributed in October. Tickets are $15 and can be had by calling 330-856-5398.

Music from the American Civil War: The Venango Brigade

On Tuesday, May 8, 2018, the Mercer County Historical Society (119 South Pitt Street, Mercer, PA) will present a program of Music from the Civil War. This program will be presented by the Venango Brigade—featuring Steve Johnston on the tin whistle and John Tenney on the minstrel bones. These two gentlemen have provided many “concerts.” The doors open at 6:30 PM; the program starts at 7:00, and should end around 9:00. Please join us. The Venango Brigade is a unique combination of instruments performing music from the American Civil War era. Using a straight forward performance approach with the music, the Venango Brigade gives the audience a highly entertaining and enjoyable experience while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. Great for smaller settings, the combination of the whistle (penny whistle) and minstrel bones provide the perfect touch. This should be another unique experience for the Civil War Roundtable. The Civil War Discussion Group is part of the Mercer County Historical Society’s ongoing efforts to provide programming related to local history. The roundtable meets on the second Tuesday of each month from September through May. Participation in the discussion group is open to the public and is free. The Historical Society’s headquarters is at 119 South Pitt Street, Mercer, PA. For further information, please call the Historical Society at 724-6623490, email [email protected], or look to o u r w e b p a g e www.mchspa.org.

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.

Boardman Glenwood Western Reserve Rangers 4-H Club April 2018 News 7th Grade Chess Champs

From left: 3rd place: Vince Iandimarino, School Champ: Caleb French, Runner-Up Spencer Ferholz. Contributed Photo.

Boardman Glenwood Junior High School recently completed its annual 7th grade chess tournament. Approximately 250 7th graders took part in the single elimination competition that took “gaming” back to the Medieval World. The tournament is run by 7th grade teachers Mr. Head, Mr. Basista and Mr. Cordon. “When we begin our unit on the Middle Ages, we take time and show all of our students the basic skills of chess. Many students have never played chess before and are intimidated by the complexity of it. However, as they continue to play, they really start to enjoy the game,” stated Mr. Cordon. “Vince Iandimarino was

a very well rounded player. He used his pieces very well. Spencer Ferholz’s strategy was to lure other players into making mistakes. Caleb French was very aggressive right off the start and that helped him win,” stated Mr. Head. The interest in the tournament has blossomed into a new Chess Club at Glenwood Jr. High that meets twice a month, year round, and involves dozens of students.

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

Boy Scouts Hike Mill Creek Park Little Free Library Installed on

JCC of Youngstown Campus

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.

A Little Free Library has been installed on the campus of the Jewish Community Center of Youngstown. The Little Free Library at the JCC will have a youth and family focus. It was donated by the Rotary Club of Youngstown, and will be maintained by Akiva Academy’s Honor Society and the JCC. The Library is part of the revitalization of the campus, which includes a new infant and toddler playground and a pickleball court. The Library is part of the class project of the 2018 Leadership Mahoning Valley class through the Youngstown/ Warren Regional Chamber. It is one of four they will install in the Mahoning Valley. This library installation includes representatives from Berk Enterprises, Inc.; Harrington, Hoppe & Mitchell, Ltd.; the Jewish Community Center of Youngstown; Mahoning County Career and Technical Center; Mercy Health; Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center; Youngstown Air Reserve Station and Youngstown State University. Little Free Libraries are intended to inspire a love of reading, build community, and spark creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world. The JCC offers social, cultural, educational, and recreational programs in a Jewish environment. Everyone is welcome.

Home Savings recently donated a check for $5,000 to Lakeview Local Schools. The Lakeview Local School District is partnering with the City of Cortland to refurbish/replace the tennis courts at Willow Park as the school district utilizes the courts for their tennis teams. "We use the tennis courts at Willow Park for our high school matches in the fall and spring. In addition, the courts are used for summer camps for our students," explained Sean Miller, Treasurer, Lakeview Local Schools. "We are looking forward to partnering with the City of Cortland on this project and we are hopeful that this project will be completed before the fall season." “The overall project cost will be approximately $65,000 and this donation will be a great start to our community fundraising. We are very thankful to Home Savings for their generous support. We are hoping to raise at least half the money through donations with the city providing the balance of the funds needed to complete the project,“ said City of Mayor Jim Woofter, City of Cortland. “We are so proud to support Lakeview Local Schools in their efforts to partner with the City to make improvements to Willow Park, which is located in the heart of Cortland, where so many students and families come together to have a good time,” said Trish Gelsomino, Home Savings. “Working together we can truly make a difference!” For more information regarding Lakeview Local Schools please call 330-637-4921 or visit LakeviewLocal.org.

Thanks to help from one organization, Brookfield High School teacher Jessica Gardner was one of many teachers to have their DonorsChoose project fully funded. “A company called Ripple recently donated $29 million dollars to DonorsChoose.org,” said Gardner. “Because of their generosity, every project on the DonorsChoose website was fully funded. My project was also helped by four private donations as well.” Gardner’s project was asking for money to purchase new books for her classroom library. Now she will be able to purchase 50 brand new novels, many of which her students have been hoping for. Gardner plans to donate the books being replaced to other classrooms, the school library and students in need. Gardner was diagnosed

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.

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.

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.

Struthers Rotary Learns About Williams Syndrome

Jennifer holds the book that will be donated to the Struthers Elementary School library in Karen’s name in appreciation for her presentation. Contributed Photo.

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].

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.

Liberty Schools make food pantry donation

Members of the W. S. Guy Student Council of Liberty Schools donated $350 to the Liberty Food Pantry at Churchill United Methodist Church. This donation covered the cost of food for the month of March. The student council, under the direction of Marla Dull, has a long tradition of planning events throughout the year as a way to raise funds for local charities. This year, student council selected the Liberty Food Pantry due to its service in providing over 70+ families food each month. The students will also volunteer their time in April and May working at the food pantry. Contributed Photo.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

Lorraine Findlay of Every Dog Matters Rescue Group was the featured speaker at the April 10th meeting of the Struthers Rotary Club. Hosted by Rotarian Darla Donahue, Lorraine was accompanied by her dog Neco, who was rescued and fostered several times before finding a permanent home with her, her husband and their several cocker spaniels. As dog lovers, she and her husband elected to foster rescue dogs to prepare them for permanent placement with caring families. She makes a point to stay in touch with families who have received their foster pets and currently owns or fosters seven dogs. Through her association with Every Dog Matters, Lorraine has assisted in placing dozens of rescue dogs with permanent families. Every Dog Matters Rescue Group is a 501(c)3 organization formed exclusively to help rescue dogs that have been abandoned or injured, ensure their training and placing them in homes where they are welcomed and cherished. The group is continuously seeking caring families who will volunteer to foster their rescued dogs to increase the number of pets they can care for, train and place. One of their fundraising efforts is the collection of slightly used shoes that are provided to those in need.
