D ORAN D ORAN In the 1980’s the rock band, Duran Duran erupted like fireworks on the Fourth of July across the landscape of the music industry. With a long series of hit songs, they were on the A list in the field of musical entertainment. And then like so many of their predecessors, they faded from the public eye. Like the band with the same sounding, but differently spelled last name, Kris Doran also burst onto the scene as the Instructor for Interactive Multimedia at the TCTC in 2013. He has created wave after wave of student success stories in Career Technical Education. Fortunately for the TCTC, he won’t be fading from the stage any time soon. Over the past six years, Interactive Multimedia students have won a plethora of local, state and national awards. A brief synopsis includes Tom Holden Memorial PSA Contest, Ohio Scholastic Media Association Broadcast Feature, Pittsburgh Technical Institute’s High School Design Show, Business Professionals of America State Championship, Chagrin Film Festival and the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. In 2017, TCTC’s Multimedia students captured first, second and third place at the nationals in the categories of Virtual Multimedia and Promotion. Two other students finished in the top 10 and one student was awarded the Best of Show for the presentation of his product. In 2018, students captured first place in the individual and team categories of Virtual Multimedia and Promotion and one student was first in Best of Show. Doran is a 1999 graduate of Girard High School where he met his future wife, Samantha. The couple has four children and still resides in the Girard community. After graduation from YSU with a degree in Telecommunications, Doran was employed as a promotions producer and Assistant Creative Service Director for TV stations in the metropolitan area. He was also the Sports Time Ohio Feed Producer for the Cleveland Indians for two years. Doran did not envision himself as an educator until he visited schools to assist teachers with the production aspect of their classes. He

stated, “This was very fulfilling and I found that I liked working with teenagers.” As a result, he obtained a Master’s Degree in Instructional Technology from Kent State in 2009. Before arriving at the TCTC, he taught at the Ashtabula Career & Technical Center. Motivated by a much shorter commute, he applied for a similar position at the TCTC in 2013. In retrospect, he calls it the best possible career decision, He stated, “I was impressed day one by how well everyone at the school worked together. Staff and administration are partners to create the best possible learning environment for the students. Kids are given the equipment, tools and software necessary for employment in jobs in the industry. The curriculum of Interactive Multimedia is derived from a variety of disciplines that include Video and Audio Production, Graphic Design, Photography, Web Design, Live Broadcasting and Animation. Students visit academic classrooms and program labs to film activities and interview students and staff. Although Doran has been lauded for the stellar performance of his students

in CTSO competitions, Paula Baco, Supervisor of the program, is most impressed with Doran’s interpersonal skills. “She stated, “Kris respects his students and listens carefully to their concerns. He treats each one as an individual. He is the type of adult that a teenager feels he/she can talk with.” Britany Hickey is a 2017 completer of the program. When asked what stands out the most about Kris Doran, she responded, “He goes beyond the textbook and the standards. He used his experiences in the industry and his connections to make sure that students never do an assignment that doesn’t have a purpose. I admire his teaching style because, as a handson learner, I found it much easier to learn and master the skills required in our lab by completing projects and working with industry professionals.” The stereotypical seven hour school day does not apply to Doran. He stated, “My colleagues and I are constantly working with our students outside the normal school day. With the advantages of technology, I never stop being a teacher. I am always sending emails,

Poland Historical Society hosts fundraiser bus trip

Doran Continued from pg. 1 digital messages or helping students prepare for presentations with things like Skype or Google Hangout. My students have grown accustomed to having one of my daughters sit in on their practice presentations.” A day consists of 24 hours, but Doran pushes the boundaries of time. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he is also a part time instructor at Kent State and YSU, and is a replay operator for ESPN 3 broadcasts of football and basketball games. And somehow, someway, he finds the time to coach his daughters basketball and softball teams. In spite of a hectic schedule, Doran is upbeat and positive in his interactions with everyone. Jason Gray, Superintendent, considers him to be the consummate professional. He stated, “In a lot of ways Kris’ program is the face of the TCTC to the outside world. He and his students perform many services that promote the utility of Career Technical Education. With Kris it is never about him, he keeps the focus on the achievements of his students.” In several weeks’ time, Americans will gather to celebrate the National Holiday. Many will gaze skyward to see the rockets’ red glare light up the nightscape. At some point, the grand finale will signal the conclusion of the celebration. In the Interactive Multimedia program at the TCTC, however, the end of the evening is not in sight. Day after day, week after week, year after year, the students continue to dazzle with their achievements. And in the background is Kris Doran; not seeking the limelight, but rest assured he is restocking the arsenal. As a result, the beat goes on.

OBITUARY POLICY The Review Newspapers offers Death Notices free of charge and paid obituaries. Death Notices include the name and age of individual, date of passing and funeral home providing services. Obituaries are a personal tribute. For more information on writing the obituaries and pricing, please speak with your funeral home director. All death notices/obituaries must be verified by a funeral home or a death certificate. For more information, call our Editorial department at 330-544-5500. LAW CAPSULES CAN I DO PROBATE AN ESTATE WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY? The answer is yes...but. The Court can provide the standard forms to probate an estate, large or small, or you may be able to print out the basic forms online, but the clerks are not allowed to give you any legal advice. If there is a full estate without a will requiring an administrator, a bonding company will not issue a fiduciary bond without an attorney. I have come across many people who have tried to probate an estate by themselves and found out it is not as simple as it appears, or the court keeps refusing papers because they are not properly completed or documented or they do not complete the estate or do the accounting required and are receiving court notices to comply or be forced to appear before the court. Attorney fees to probate are often much less than people fear they would be. For your full service legal needs, call Hoffman and Walker Co., LPA

REVERENT FEAR

TEXT: 1 Peter 1:17-21 When you're not from a country, you can be one of several things: - Immigrant: you're not from here, but you've made this place your present home. - Tourist: Just traveling through - Exile: Attitude "I'm stuck here so I've got to suffer it out" - Ambassador: Someone who is sent into one country with a mission from another country. Ambassador: Be alert, be sober, be hopeful, be obedient, be holy. (V.17) A BAND OF TRAVELERS ON A JOURNEY (4 MODELS OF FEAR) - Living Without Fear (The Immigrant model) - Living In Fear (The Tourist model) - Living In Fear of Punishment. (The Exile model) - Living In Fear of God (The Ambassador model) From I Peter 1:17-21 THREE BIBLICAL REASONS TO FEAR GOD 1) Because He is our judge (who judges impartially) 2) Because he saved us from a life of sin. 3) Because you were washed with blood CONCLUSION Peter reveals here that our lives have enormous value to our Redeemer and that they are entrusted to us to handle with care. Treat your relationship to Him like He's your heart surgeon. What is the level of your measuring cup? For the unredeemed sinner their cup is half empty with a sense of despair and a true fear of a future judgment leading to a final separation from God. For the Christian who has been washed by the blood of Jesus Christ the cup is half full with the presence of the Holy Spirit and the promise of a future with God in Heaven. One’s relation with Jesus Christ as Savior makes the difference in the content of the cup and in the destination at the end of life’s journey.

30+ Years Experience

With the Fourth of July rapidly approaching, Phantom Fireworks would like to remind our friends and customers that some pets adversely react to the lights and noise of fireworks. With a little extra effort, our pets can be spared the trauma they sometimes experience from fireworks. Phantom Fireworks asks that you please be mindful of the following: Keep your pets indoors during fireworks displays. Turn on the TV or radio and air conditioning to help mask the noise of the fireworks. Keep pets in a soothing, dark room with light jazz or classical music playing. The idea is to muffle the fireworks noise with something soothing. Close draperies to help soundproof the residence. Many suggest walking or exercising the pet prior to the fireworks in an effort to tire out the pet in the hopes the pet will sleep through the fireworks. Be home or have someone at home indoors with the pet to offer encouragement and support for the pet. Close all windows and doors and block pet doors to prevent escape. You could try distracting the pet as soon as the fireworks begin by involving the pet in something enjoyable like “fetch.” Prepare a safe area where the pet can “burrow in” to feel safe. Maybe some blankets under a bed or a blanket draped over a small table. Play a radio near that area. Feeding the pet in the area will help the pet associate the area with other good things. Do not take your animal to a fireworks show or let the pet outdoors while fireworks are being used. You might consider consulting with your veterinarian several weeks before fireworks season. Some pets may require sedation. The veterinarian could suggest some behavior modification techniques. Many of these suggestions have come from PressEnterprise, Riverside, CA; Blue Cross for Pets (UK); Pet MD; Humane Society of U.S.; and The Telegraph (UK). Phantom Fireworks hopes you enjoy the Independence Day holiday safely and show courtesy and compassion to your pets and animals.

GALLAVANTIN’ In memory of Jane A. Harris By SueEllen Harris-Davis Memories of our childhood, Come back on a summer’s eve, And our home town is still the best, If we but will perceive. Many travel the country, and some the world, but most return very thankful to have grown up in a small town with the opportunity to connect with family and friends in the neighborhood surrounding them. There is something very special about returning to a small town and revisiting the places where dear friends, lifelong friends, have maintained their connections with those who have moved away. This past weekend Sue Powers and her husband returned from the Charlotte, North Carolina, area for a visit with such friends and family. The early service at the Girard First United Methodist Church had several friends that greeted the pair and old family connections were revisited during their brief stay here. Sue and her family grew up on Kline Street between Highland Avenue and Elruth. Her father Jack and mother Norma along with Sue’s siblings sere always in attendance at the church and her father had a record of attendance each Sunday for Sunday School equal to none. Her grandparents and parents owned a Greenhouse located on the street behind what is now The Daily Grind. They supplied the church with fresh flowers to decorate the front each spring and also fresh flowers for the altar on Sundays. When Easter Sunday came around the Powers family made sure each child in Sunday School, which was a well-attended one, took home a flowering plant to nurture and transfer to their own gardens to grow and take care of remembering their Easter Sunday School lessons at the church. Sue was a member of the Class of 1970 and keeps in contact with some of her longtime friends from that class and the church family. It was great to talk with her and see her again after many years. On Saturday, June 30th, there will be a “John Mathews BBQ Benefit” from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at the Open Door Community Church, 525 East Marshall Road, McDonald, Ohio 44437. The Presale of tickets is $10 for Adults and $5 for Kids. Tickets at the Door are $12 for Adults and $7 for Kids. John Mathews is a resident of Girard, Ohio, and attends Old North Church in Canfield, Ohio. John is the father of Sarah and Rachel Mathews, and husband of Christine Mathews. John is a proud member of the community who likes to travel, hike, do bike marathons and spend time with his family. John was recently diagnosed with cancer and the medical bills are not covered by insurance. 100% of the proceeds will go to John and his family to help cover medical and travel costs for the procedures he must undergo. The Meal will include BBQ Pulled Pork or BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich, Cheesy potatoes, Green Beans, Coleslaw, Dessert, and beverage including tea, water, or lemonade. Dine-In or Carry-Out is available. Some of John’s extended family includes his brother Don, owner of Mathews Photography, and niece Mary from the Girard Free Library. For Tickets, Donation for the Basket Raffle, Donations, or for more information contact Kaitlyn Bouch at 330-246-0756 or [email protected] . John is also a great photographer and an Alumni of Girard High School, band, choir, and theater having sung, acted, and played a brass instrument in the band. Help support his efforts to regain his good health and attend the BBQ. The Girard Community Churches Vacation Bible School 2018 is taking place this week from Monday through Friday, June 25th thru the 29th, at the Trinity Lutheran Church and St. Rose Catholic Church Education building located on the corner block of East Liberty Street, Stewart Avenue, and Main Street in Girard. The theme this year is “Shipwrecked: Rescued by Jesus.” This week has been an amazing adventure for youth ages 4 through the 6th grade. The theme is to help children and adults begin or deepen their faith by discovering that Jesus cares about them and rescues them in life’s toughest circumstances. Monetary donations and new school supplies for The Emmanuel Community Care Center are being collected at the sessions from 9 a.m. to 12 noon each day. These items will be distributed when school begins again by the Emmanuel Community Care Center Staff for those children in the community in need of help. There will be a program presented of music and motion by the children who have attended the Vacation Bible School on Friday at St. Rose Gymnasium. Call for the exact program time at St. Rose School Office or St. Rose Rectory, 330-545-1163 or 330-5454351 (Rectory). Thanks to the many Volunteers, ages 7th grade through adult, who have helped all week with Vacation Bible School. Your dedication is appreciated. MAD CAMP: “Compose Yourself” will be held at the Girard First United Methodist Church for two weeks starting July 9th through July 13th and July 16th through July 20th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for those youngsters finishing Kindergarten through the 8th grade. MAD CAMP is currently filled; however, check to see if there may be some “drop-out” openings as beginning time approaches. Payment of a $75 fee

Independence Day is one of the busiest days of the year for firefighters. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Americans report more fires on the Fourth of July than on any other day of the year, and two out of five are fireworks-related incidents. Celebrating the Fourth of July with fireworks, cookouts and community events can quickly turn to disaster if you do not take proper precautions. Local 1220 recommends that the best way to enjoy fireworks and prevent injury is to watch a professional show. Consumer fireworks are dangerous, and the risks to personal safety and the safety of the community are significant. According to a 2017 report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, U.S. hospital emergency departments treat an average of 7,600 injuries annually. Children are especially at risk; 31 percent of victims with fireworks injuries were under 15. While it is legal for adults to purchase consumer fireworks from a licensed dealer in Ohio, use of non-novelty consumer fireworks is illegal. Even novelty fireworks, which include sparklers, snaps, and smoke bombs, can become dangerous. Sparklers can reach a temperature of 2000º Fahrenheit, and collectively, novelty fireworks cause more than a third of fireworks injuries. If you choose to ignore the law, please remember to read and follow the directions on the fireworks before lighting them. Only use fireworks in an open outdoor area and on hard surfaces and be cautious of any wind. Also, remember to have water handy in case of an emergency. Aim fireworks away from houses, dry leaves, flammable materials and people and never extend a body part over the device. Remember, the best way to enjoy fireworks and prevent injury is to watch a professional show. With that, Girard Firefighters wish you a Happy Independence Day!

It’s that time of year again - soon jars of jams, jellies and canned vegetables will be lining pantry shelves and pressure canners will find their way out of the cupboards. For many, canning is a source of enjoyment and provides an economical way to store food, but a faulty pressure gauge or incorrect procedure can cause problems. To learn about canning basics and safe canning procedures, join us at one or all of our Canning and Food Safety classes. Classes will be held June 28, July 26 and August 9 from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. at the Mahoning County Extension office, 490 South Broad Street, Canfield, OH. Topics such as jams and jellies, canning tomatoes and drying apples will be covered by the Mahoning County Master Gardeners. Participants can also bring in their pressure canners to be tested for safety and accuracy. Registration for one class is $15 per person, and registration for all three classes is $40 per person. To register or learn more, contact Mahoning County Extension at 330-533-5538 or visit go.osu.edu/canning2018.

Newton Falls VFW Auxiliary host veterans dinner; seek assistance from community Three years ago, the VFW Auxiliary of Newton Falls Post 3332 decided to host the extended care veterans from Wade Park VA in Cleveland and honor them with a dinner and evening of fun. Many veterans in extended care are away from family or have limited contact with them. Many cannot leave the campus. A County Deputy, Dallas Young, offered right off the bat to give them a lights & siren escort into town and arranged for a few of his buddies to help. Last year he enlisted the local fire department and arranged for a large flag to be draped above the bus route. This year he came through again in a much bigger way. At our monthly meeting Monday night the Trumbull County FOP Lodge 137 presented NF VFW Auxiliary Post 3332 with a check for $1,000. Our Auxiliary works hard to provide our Veterans, especially those in long term treatment with comforts of home, clothing, visits and this dinner holds a special place in our hearts. We could not possibly carry out our mission without the support of people like Dallas and organizations like the FOP and are forever grateful

The Austintown Growth Foundation recently presented two students from Fitch High School with Scholarships. Jack Chepke and Casey Henderson were present at the meeting and gave us insight into their future plans. Both Casey and Jack will be attending YSU in the Fall. Casey will be majoring in Education. Jack’s plans are in the medical field. Ken Carano, Vice President stood in for Jack Sovik, President of the Growth Foundation, to present the awarded scholarships.

The Kiwanis Club of Newton Falls would like to announce the recipients of the 2018 scholarships. Kayse Speicher (1st place) and Alexandria Orr and Noah Marsh (2nd place tie) were presented with their awards and checks by Mrs. Kathy Wujcik, Kiwanis treasurer, at the May 15 senior awards assembly at the high school. Kiwanis members on the scholarship committee unanimously voted for these three deserving students after comparing their grades, essay, amount of volunteerism, and attendance. The scholarships were judged anonymously in order to be as fair as possible. Students were also given information on the Kiwanis service group at universities, called Circle K International (CKI). Kiwanis, a local and international service organization, would like to remind students how important it is to be active in helping others.

The potentially harmful effects of mold in your home Teacher and students stand with the thousands of items donated by Fitch students. (L to R) Maribeth McGlynn, Kasey Solic, Keith Smith, Cam Burton, Tommy Drabison, Lauren Akuszewski, Kaitlyn Sciortino. Contributed Photo.

Over the past few weeks, students at Austintown Fitch have been collecting personal items for mothers and children who may be displaced due to tragedy or domestic violence. It’s all for the charity Movers for Moms, sponsored by Two Men and a Truck, which recognizes moms in crisis on Mother’s Day. “This is the fourth year we have collected for the cause. The great thing is, all of the items stay local. We could be collecting for our next door neighbor that we may not know is in trouble,” said Fitch Counselor MariBeth McGlynn who organizes the collection. In 2017, every Two Men and a Truck location participated and collectively gathered more than 295,000 donations for women living in shelters on Mother’s Day. Locally, the company has chosen the YWCA of Youngstown as the recipient of all of the items collected for Movers for Moms.

Poorly ventilated bathrooms are susceptible to mold growth. The presence of mold in a home is a sight few homeowners want to see. In addition to being unsightly, mold found in a home can be unhealthy. What is mold? Mold is a blanket term used to describe fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. Many species of mold exist, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that some estimates suggest there may be more than three hundred thousand different species of mold. Common indoor molds include cladosporium, penicillium, alternaria, and aspergillus. Which conditions promote mold growth? Homeowners may notice that mold tends to grow in specific areas of their homes but not in others, and that's because molds grow

best in certain conditions. Warm, damp and humid conditions, such as those found in poorly ventilated bathrooms and basements, make ideal breeding grounds for mold. What are the effects of mold exposure? Molds are a natural and resilient part of the environment, but mold growth indoors should be addressed and avoided. Mold spores are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, and when these spores attach to wet surfaces, they begin to grow. Once these spores begin to grow, they can then affect people in various ways. Roughly a decade ago, the Institute of Medicine found sufficient evidence to support a link between exposure to indoor mold and respiratory tract issues, such as coughing and wheezing in people who were otherwise healthy. The same report found that mold may trigger asthma symp-

toms among people with asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a disease in which the lungs are inflamed when a person breathes in certain dusts he or she is allergic to, in people susceptible to that condition. Some people who do not have a preexisting condition can still be sensitive to molds. When exposed to mold, such people may experience symptoms like nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation. How can exposure to mold be decreased at home? An Aor Purifier that filters the air and helps kill mold and bacteria can be a great help. Also the use of ventilation to control humidity levels in areas of the home that tend to be warm and humid, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Install an exhaust fan in the kitchen and bathroom and a window in the bathroom if yours does not al-

ready have one. The CDC recommends that humidity levels be no higher than 50 percent throughout the day, and an air conditioner and dehumidifier can help you keep indoor humidity levels in check, especially during the summer when humidity levels tend to be their highest of any time during the year. When renovating your home, remove any existing carpeting from bathrooms and basements and toss out soaked carpets or upholstery as well. If painting will be part of your home renovation projects, add mold inhibitors to paints prior to application. Mold that grows inside a home is unsightly and potentially unhealthy. But concerned homeowners can take several reactive and proactive steps to reduce existing mold growths and prevent them from returning in the future.

Warren Township Closes Recycling Site

The Warren Township Trustees have decided to close their recycling drop off site located at the Warren Township Athletic Complex, 4651 West Market Street due to misuse. The recycling program provided by the Geauga- Trumbull Solid Waste Management District was established to collect everyday recyclables such as cans, glass bottles and jars, paper, cardboard and plastic containers. “It is unfortunate that the recycling site was not used properly,” said Holly Carine, district representative. “One of our goals is to provide convenient and easily accessible recycling to residents.” Warren Township residents should use the Warren City Summit Academy School site located at 1461 Moncrest Drive, N.W., Southington Township Hall, 3419 State Route 534, Braceville Township Storage Yard, 584 Braceville Robinson Road. This is the second site to close recently in Trumbull County as Bazetta Township had similar contamination problems. The District is encouraging residents to only place recyclables at the sites so they can continue to provide recycling opportunities to Trumbull County communities. For more information on recycling drop off sites, household hazardous waste, electronic recycling, appliance recycling and composting visit gottagogreen.org or call the District office at 1-800-707-2673.

The Community Connectors program won the Rotary Club of Austintown a high honor at the District 6650 Rotary Convention held at the Avalon Inn in April. The Robert Manchester Vocational Award recognizes one of the 47 clubs in the district for their efforts in promoting vocational education in their community and the state. Community Connectors is a partnership between the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber and the Austintown Local School District, aimed at making students workforce ready. The goal of the program is to create a well-rounded student so they have the soft skills necessary for employment. Students are paired

with a mentor for additional support and relationship building. A grant of $100,000 was awarded to Austintown by the State of Ohio to institute the program, administered by Amy Trafficante and Lynn Mickey within the school, and 110 volunteers were gathered, with which 48 students were placed and mentored for the 2017-18 school year. The program involved collaboration of Nick Santucci of the Chamber, Vince Colaluca and Jeremy Batchelor of Austintown Schools, Rick Stauffer from Austintown Township, and Bruce Laraway and Christine Vlosich from Austintown Rotary, as well as others from industry and the community.

Eagle Scout Project creates new play area for Stadium Drive students 99th Reunion of Newton Falls Stadium Drive Elementary Principal Michael Zoccali says a new Gaga Ball Pit at the school’s playground is sure to ignite smiles and get a lot of use when school begins in August. 15-year-old Kaleb Sepe of Boardman chose to plan and build the Gaga pit as his community project to earn his Eagle Scout rank. It was completed on June 17, after months of planning. A member of Troop 80 in North Lima, Kaleb raised more than $4,800 dollars in donations and worked with project mentors Rick Eberth and Erik Hammer. With guidance from Scout Master Kurt Hilderbrand, and a large group of volunteers including Principal Zoccali, they spent two weekends clearing and leveling the ground to build the state of the art pit. “More than 360 Stadium Drive students, K-4, will be able to enjoy gaga ball during recess and on field days,” said Principal Zoccali. “The kids have used an indoor pit that we have and they love the game. Now we can thank Kaleb and his team of scouts for adding another great element to our Stadium Drive playground!” Some call gaga ball a gentler form of dodgeball. It consists of a lightweight bouncy or foam ball and an octagon enclosure known as the "Gaga Ball Pit." The object of the game is to hit the ball at or below opponents' knees to eliminate them from the pit. The last one left in the pit is the winner

Schoolmates & Friends Held

The Newton Falls Schoolmates and Friends 99th reunion was celebrated June 16th at DiVieste’s Banquet Room in Warren with 337 persons in attendance. Welcoming the schoolmates in the foyer were members of the Class of 1969, Ken Layshock, Dennis Kirkland, Rosie Domyanich, Howie Wolf, Linda Bennight, Delbert Wolaski. The celebration began with the members of the honored class of 1968 filing in from the foyer introduced by Don Young. Richard Monteville welcomed the Newton Falls alumni and Guests. Russell Zampino gave the invocation and the luncheon was served. Don Young then “roasted” the Class of 1968. Following the luncheon, the business meeting was held. The board awarded two $1000 college scholarships announced by Judi Giovanne Gensburg to Noah Marsh, who attended and gave a very nice speech of appreciation, and Paige Swingle, who sent a very lovely thank you note. We then took a free will offering so that we may continue awarding deserving students scholarships. Mary Margaret Gams Hildack read the annual Necrology report containing 77 names associated with the schoolmates or staff. A moment of silence followed. Richard then asked all military veterans to stand and be honored for their service, followed by all first responders, firemen and policemen. A round of applause for each and all. The oldest attendee this year was again Al Sipka, class of 1937 and our youngest was Katrina Weekley who will be a freshman this fall. The attendee who travelled the farthest was Art Monteville from Hawaii. The family with the most attendees was again the Whaley family. The roll of decades showed that the 60’s had the most attendees. Kathy Rapczak gave the treasurer’s report: $1841 was collected from the offering. Rich then told of the dilemma we face for next year, being that DiVieste’s is not available on the 3rd Saturday of June, 2019. So according to our By-Laws, that is the annual meeting date, we will have to move to another venue or change the By-Laws and the date. A standing vote was taken with 97 in favor of keeping the same date and changing the venue, 76 were in favor of changing the date. Rich then introduced the current Board of Trustees and the new volunteers, Rodney Zeck, Nancy Serotko Thomas, and Vickie Eichelberry Young. The vote was taken and approved for all board members to serve for 2018-2109 year. With the business meeting concluded, Judi Gensburg led us in singing the Alma Mater and Mr. Earnie Shaver gave the Benediction. We then continued to have a social time until 5:00 pm.

AmVets Post 44 to host flag retirement ceremony

On Monday, July 2nd, AmVets Post 44, 305 Elm St., Struthers will host an inaugural flag retirement ceremony at its newly constructed ceremony grounds. The ceremony begins at 5:30 p.m. and will last approximately one hour. The Flag Retirement Ceremony Grounds was constructed as an Eagle Scout Project by Colin Russell of Troop 60 in Boardman, Ohio. The project was inspired to honor the veterans from our community. The ceremony grounds include a stone landscape, reflection garden with picket fence, park benches and a large steel fire pit embellished with the AmVets and Boy Scouts logos. The purpose of a flag retirement is to properly dispose of American flags that are no longer serviceable for daily use. Throughout history, the burning of flags has been considered as a respectful and dignified way to dispose of flags. The public is invited to attend the AmVets Post 44 inaugural flag retirement ceremony.

Local veteran Ronnie Felts was interviewed by Guardian Angels volunteer, Shirley Barbe DiVencenzo. Court reporter Debbie Sabat, also a Guardian Angel volunteer, transcribed Mr. Felts’ interview. On June 19, 2018, Probate Judge James A. Fredericka presented Mr. Felts with a copy of the transcript that was submitted to and retained by the Library of Congress.

ASK THE LIBRARIAN “In old documents, why is there an f sometimes when there should be an s?” One of our patrons was looking at old deeds and wasn’t sure what to do with words like “aſsigns.” (“Congreſs,” at the very beginning of the Bill of Rights, is another example.) It was clear what the words should be, but what was that strange letter? According to Michael Rosen in his book Alphabetical: How Every Letter Tells a Story, it’s the long s, and it fell out of English use in the mid-nineteenth century. The 1817 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica uses it, but the next edition, published in 1823, does not. Marko Ticak, in the article “A Short History of the Long S” on Grammarly.com, tells us more about the letter’s past. The long s began in old Roman cursive as a letter resembling a check mark. By the fifteenth century, it looked somewhat like an f and was used at the beginning or in the middle of words, while the s that we recognize (known as the short or round s) was used at the end of a word. The short s could also make an appearance in the middle of a word if the long s had already been used, like in “aſsigns.” While printers stopped using the long s in the early 1800s, it took longer for people to stop using it in their handwriting. For answers to your questions, visit the Newton Falls Public Library, 204 S. Canal Street, Newton Falls or phone 330-8721282.

Library Director visits Rotary

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

Rotarian Pete Pirone introduced Aimee Fifarek, Executive Director for The Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, at the June 5th meeting of the Struthers Rotary Club. Originally from Wisconsin, Aimee took charge of the 15 libraries in the Mahoning Valley in December of 2017. She reported that three libraries have been renovated since her tenure began and related the many new changes that are planned to invigorate the library system. In addition to informational products such as books and the internet the library system has installed scanners, printers, button-makers and “makerspace” 3-D printers to foster STEM education and learning. The summer program theme this year is “Libraries Rock” and Aimee pointed out that libraries are not ‘just books’ any longer. The summer programs are aimed primarily toward kids but adults are welcome at all activities. The “animals” program this year features a baby kangaroo among the many creatures about which our youngsters may learn. There are plans in place to rearrange the library system but the prior intention to close and consolidate branches has been abandoned. Methods are being applied to foster increased usage of the existing branches and many changes have already been implemented. The local libraries are working more closely with their nearby schools and have upgraded their facilities to be more attractive venues for the schools and local business and community groups to use. Much more information on using the library system for learning, educational projects, business activities and entertainment is available on the web at http:// www.LibraryVisit.org or on Facebook at https:// www.facebook.com/librarymahoningcounty.

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.

Matt Kluchar, Struthers Parkside Church Youth Pastor, enlightened the Struthers Rotary Club about the youth activities of the Church during their May 8th meeting. Hosted by Rotarian Pastor James Berkebile, the 47 year old youth pastor described a bit of his background and teaching methods and went on to recount the new things he is learning through his interactions with today’s young people. Pastor Matt illustrated that the youth programs are being employed to serve both the well behaved of the parish and those children who are troubled. The goal is to foster learning and growth among the young and to facilitate their participation in Church activities. The children are treated with excursions to movies and amusement parks in addition to their music and volunteer activities. This year a mission trip to impoverished neighborhoods in the Pittsburgh area is planned. The mission trip will include assisting refugees with housing projects, neighborhood improvements, sports activities for the children and devotional services to help with the neighborhood peace of mind. It is hoped that the outreach this year will lead to continued interest in future programs. The Struthers Parkside Church Youth Group meets weekly on Monday and welcomes participation by all children in the Struthers community. More information is available by calling Pastor Matt at 330-755-8233, on the web at http://www.struthersparksidechurch.com or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/StruthersParksideChurch.

GFWC Ohio Warren Junior Women’s League recognized 10 Trumbull Country teens for their time, service and dedication to volunteer work in the community during the league’s 48th Annual WJWL Teen Volunteer Awards Banquet.

Senior students in Michael Grope’s Information Technology (IT) class at Choffin Career and Technical Center will be ending the year with more than their diplomas; students will be taking home laptops they built in class. For the project, students were given non-working laptops that had been donated with very few parts inside. Students then had to learn which parts were missing, how to put new parts in, and rebuild the laptops until they were fully functioning. The laptops were donated as part of the “Let’s Get in Sync” program; a program that was created by Grope after thinking about how he could merge his IT business experience with education being that in the IT world, people go through laptops relatively quickly due to the speed of how they need to work. “I started thinking that I could ask around to see if businesses would be willing to donate equipment to my program and explained that I could use the equipment for teaching, and then at the end of the year, let the kids take the laptops home and hopefully on to college to further their education,” said Grope. The idea of the “Let’s Get in Sync” program meets three major demands: Going green by reusing electronic equipment; Teaching information technology to students; Provide learning tools to those who have never had access to a laptop or PC. Grope stated, “The support from the community has been great so far and my students were really excited about building their own computers.”

Boardman Glenwood Junior High Students were making last minute adjustments to their race cars to compete in the Junior Solar Sprint Car Challenge at the University of Akron May 17. About 2 dozen students from Glenwood, many from Boardman’s Makers Club, competed against students from 7 other school districts. Boardman was the only Mahoning Valley group among Cleveland Area teams. This middle school activity challenges students to design, test and improve solar cars using strict parameters. Student teams are given 3V rated solar panels, 3V rated dc motors, and they have access to maker tools from their school’s lab. The other materials used are up to them. Vehicles are guided on a 20 meter wire and try to obtain the fastest speed with the available sun. A group of Glenwood students will also compete in a KidWind Challenge event at Akron. It is a national middle school STEM program where students design a model wind turbine to generate the most amount of energy. All Glenwood students participated in this program this school year, and a select group will now compete in Akron.

Story time, snacks, and a field trip. These are three things first grade students at Jackson-Milton Elementary School like. On Tuesday, May 15th, first graders experienced all three when they visited Jackson-Milton High School for a special collaboration project. Students in the Healthy Living class at the high school wrote and illustrated short stories, and read their stories to first graders. Then, they prepared a snack that

was related to the story. One story was called Jethro and the Fruit Kabobs. For the snack, students made fruit kabobs with strawberries, grapes and blueberries. For the short story, The Car, students made cars out of fruit and pretzels. The tasty assignment is part of a collaboration with Sarah Barnes’ Healthy Living Class at the high school, and Corinne Tomaino’s first grade class. In March, high school students visited the

elementary school for Dr. Seuss Day, and read The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss. They also made butter with the first grade class.

The Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley today announced a new grant from the Morgan Stanley Foundation to support the food bank’s fresh produce program. The funds will be used to increase the food bank’s ability to access, transport and store fresh produce and provide fruits and vegetables for local residents. “We are proud to continue our commitment of providing fresh produce to children and their families. This grant will make healthy foods available to those who might otherwise not have access to them,” said Joan Steinberg, Global Head of Philanthropy at Morgan Stanley and President of the Morgan Stanley Foundation. “By providing the people we serve with increased access to fresh fruits and vegetables, we give them the building blocks for a healthy life,” said Michael Iberis, executive director of Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley. “We are excited to work with Morgan Stanley to help improve the health of the people we serve.” Food insecurity continues to be an issue facing millions of Americans. According to data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released in September 2017, 41 million people in the United States are living in foodinsecure households, 13 million of whom are children. Feeding America’s Hunger in America 2014 study found that 89 percent of Feeding America’s client households with at least one child lacked reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.

Howland Springs Primary has dedicated a bench in memory of a long time Howland Springs Primary teacher. Elizabeth “Bette” Champ taught at Howland Springs for 41 years and was admired and loved by her students and colleagues. Her classroom, which she often referred to as her home, overlooked the playground at Howland Springs Primary. To honor her dedication to the school and her students, Champ’s friend and former colleague, Michelle Schrock, took up a donation to purchase a bench that would sit outside of Champ’s former classroom. “It was an honor to work with Mrs. Champ and to be able to honor her legacy,” said Michelle Schrock. The Buddy Bench, as it has been named, was handcrafted by Kaila Mohney, who is a Howland Springs Primary PTO member. Mahoney graciously donated her time and talents to make the seat. Last month, Howland Springs Primary unveiled the Buddy Bench to Champ’s daughter Rachel Morataya and several other family members. The school then formally dedicated it to Champ. “It was so thoughtful and kind. My mother would have loved it,” said Rachel Morataya.

Members of Campbell City Schools Inter-Rater Reliability (IRR) Team were recently nominated for the Franklin B. Walter Award. This award is given to an educator or team of educators who have made extraordinary contributions to the education of students with disabilities. While Campbell's IRR Team did not receive the regional award, their nomination was accepted for the region and they were recognized at the May Campbell Board of Education meeting. The district team was nominated due to their team functionality and their willingness to go above and beyond in implementing the processes of an IEP Inter-Rater District Team, since beginning during the 2016-17 school year. Using state approved resources the team created a series of PowerPoint presentations to present to colleagues at monthly Special Education Meetings, as well as a Google classroom repository for all of the staff resources. Their first year was focused on training fellow staff to build their capacity and confidence. This school year focused on informal review of IEP for strengths and opportunities to improve their trainings and the way the team could best meet the needs of their colleagues. “The team is proactive offering their assistance to colleagues and always seeking support to continue to build their own capacity as a team,” said Special Education Director, Jane Buckingham. Members of the team include teachers: Darlene Basista, Melissa Chetsko, Megan Maine, Maggie McMurray and Carrie Stanyard.

The 38th annual Civic Day, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Canfield, was held in May at St. Michael’s Church in Canfield. The goal of Civic Day is to provide the Canfield High School government students with the opportunity to learn about the responsibilities of public officials in the Canfield community. Office holders in City and Township government, as well as school officials, participated in the Civic Day. Students in the government classes were matched up with a member of the City and Township governments and the Canfield Schools. Students toured Village Elementary and Middle Schools and the Police and Fire Departments. At the noon luncheon, the students had the opportunity to learn a bit more about Rotary by participating in a modified Rotary meeting. Judge Anthony D’Apolito was the speaker and stressed to the students, Rotarians and guests the idea that leadership is about service. He urged all visiting students to be aware of their civic duties and responsibilities, and reminded all that everyone can make a difference by sharing their talents with the community particularly when working together toward a common goal.

On May 14, senior students in Carrie Sinkele’s Engineering class at Choffin Career and Technical Center visited the NASA Glenn Research Center for the conclusion of the Gaining Traction on Mars Competition sponsored by AMI/ InventorCLOUD. Choffin’s four-person team, Rhea Dowell-Betts, Lorenzo Flowers, Silas Elder and Samuel Nazario Rivera, were challenged to design 3D printed wheels and gears for their rover to explore the terrain of Mars using design software and a chassis kit that was provided to them for the competition. Sinkele’s seniors were invited to present their prototype to NASA engineers after being chosen as one of six finalists from 11 area school districts who participated in the previous round of competition. “Regardless of the outcome, I’m extremely proud that my seniors were able to work together to solve this openended problem applying the engineering design process steps,” said Sinkele. “It was fantastic to be able to talk one-onone with NASA’s engineers to hear their feedback and suggestions.” Two top teams from the final competition, middle school and high school, will each win a 3D printer.

Students in Dominique Galletta’s and Lori Ladigo’s third grade classes at Campbell Elementary School presented their second annual “Living Wax Museum” for families. In late March, the students begin researching famous people in history they would like to do a biography presentation on. As part of the project, the students had to write a 2 page paper on their person, as well as write and give a speech dressed as their new persona. To conclude their project, each student assumed the role of their famous historical figure and presented a brief biography in their living wax museum. Families were invited to attend, along with teachers and fellow students. “The students have put a lot of hard work and time into this project and they have enjoyed it every step of the way. They were most excited to get to dress up and present their final speeches for their families and other staff members,” said Galletta. Some of the chosen famous people included: Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Abraham Lincoln, Muhammad Ali, Harry Houdini, Amelia Earhart, Walt Disney, Neil Armstrong, Babe Ruth, Jane Goodall, Milton Hershey, Steve Jobs and more.

A new tradition was started at Campbell Memorial High School this year as the senior class took part in “Chalk the Walk” during Senior Week. Students were given the opportunity to express themselves and share their favorite memories and future plans on the front sidewalk outside the high school. Student designs included symbols related to their future career and school plans, images representing their family and cultural history, and motivational quotes. Class of 2018 President Caylee Michaels said, “Chalk

the Walk was such a fun event that allowed the senior class to come together as a whole to make a mark at Campbell Memorial High School. As they designed their block, everyone loved the Kona Ice treat.” Some students chose to work collaboratively on their messages and artwork. The entire senior class was excited to share their work with

each other, teachers and staff. Senior George Koulianos explains, “Chalk the Walk allowed me to express myself in a creative way by designing a block that represents my history at Campbell Memorial and my plans for the future. It was a nice addition to spirit week and we enjoyed hanging out together as a senior class.”

Jury deliberations and verdicts were given in the yearly Mock Trial held by Campbell Memorial High School’s Government students. In the student court, the roles of judge, attorney and jury were filled by Brett Abeid’s Government students who were given two weeks to prepare before going through a trial simulation. “Each student was given a courtroom position, from judge to attorney, to bailiff, clerk or jury member. These simulations are designed to enhance my student’s understanding of Ohio’s learning standards, as well as the United States judicial system,” said Abeid. Junior Dean Austolosh said playing the role of District Attorney was nerve wracking, but he learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. Junior Sydney Hurd said, “I found our class mock trial very interesting. In the simulation, I was on trial for the murder of Kandy Kane and found not guilty. If I had to do it again, I would like to experience being the judge or the defense attorney. This activity was definitely one I enjoyed and will never forget.”

Youngstown Mayor Jamael Tito Brown has been recognized and honored with a 2018 CommunityWINS® Grant on behalf of the nonprofit Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC). Presented at the Conference's 86th Annual Meeting in Boston, the CommunityWINS Grant Program is funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation and recognizes non-profits and cities for leadership in driving neighborhood stabilization, economic development and job creation efforts. An independent panel of judges selected recipients of the Wells Fargo-funded grants from 188 applicants representing small, medium and large cities. Launched in 2015 with a three-year, $3 million commitment, the CommunityWINS grants program will extend into 2020 with an additional $3 million investment by the Wells Fargo Foundation bringing the total to $6 million over six years. "The Conference and Wells Fargo share similar values focused on helping communities across the country succeed and the 2018 CommunityWINS Grant Program is an opportunity to honor productive neighborhood revitalization efforts that are making a difference," said Tom Cochran, CEO and executive director of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. "We appreciate Wells Fargo and the Wells Fargo Foundation for their support of the CommunityWINS Program, which also highlights the leadership of mayors and city governments." "As Mayor, we will focus one street, one block, and one neighborhood at a time. We will continue to fight to improve the quality of life for all residents in the City of Youngstown," said Mayor Jamael Tito Brown. A sum of $150,000 was awarded to the nonprofit Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) for the REVITALIZE Youngstown Program. The REVITALIZE Youngstown Initiative is a multi-stakeholder public and private partnership led by the YNDC to stabilize Youngstown's distressed and transitional neighborhoods by making strategic investments to eradicate blight, improve housing and property conditions. Grant funds will be used to complete the renovation of 2246 Glenwood Avenue, a vacant and underutilized commercial property along a major city corridor. The renovations will modernize the 18,000 square feet structure into several "turn-key" spaces for multiple neighborhood-serving small businesses in a flexible facility in the City of Youngstown.

Jobs With A Future Showcased

Jackson Milton Students Hooked on Fishing Trip

A successful fishing trip for 57 seventh grade students at Jackson-Milton Middle School. Students spent June 5th at the Lake Milton Fish and Game Club for the annual Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs Trip. The goal of the day was for students to realize there are things they can do for fun that don’t involve drugs or alcohol. Before students started fishing, there was a discussion about peer pressure and the effects it can have on students. “I want them to understand why we are ac-

tually here, and also remind them that the staff is here for them, and they can ask for help any time,” said Anne Downs, Drug Free Coordinator for JMMS.

Carrie Sturgeon, admissions coordinator for the New Castle School of Trades, explained the advantages and challenges of a technical education for graduates and post graduates to the Rotary Club of Austintown. The school has a strong background and reputation, and has recently expanded into East Liverpool. Most classes are complete in a 15 month period, and employment is rapid for most students. Welding is still in strong demand in this area, but nationwide, heating and air conditioning reigns as most demandable. Soft skills are also part of the curriculum so that graduates are ready to work with minimal additional training by the employer.

The Lake Milton Fish and Game Club in Lake Milton not only hosted students, but members also joined in on the day, helping students with tangled lines and any

fishing pole issues. Anonymous donors also donated supplies, and funding from the Students Taking A New Direction account (STAND), covered other expenses.

A sweet smell inside the Healthy Living Class at Jackson-Milton High School, as students put their baking skills to the test for “Cake Wars.” “Cake Wars at JM” is the final project for the class. Before baking, students spent a week researching recipes for a cake and frosting for the cake. Students also had to provide a grocery list of all the items needed for the cake and frosting, along with decorations. The three day lab put student skills to the test, by applying mathematics in Rotary President Bruce Laraway (left) with Carrie Sturgeon, guest speaker, receiving a book in her honor to be given to the AES library.

measuring ingredients, and literacy by reading and following a recipe properly. Students also applied what they learned about preventing crosscontamination with the eggs and handwashing, and properly sanitizing and cleaning their station every day. “We have food allergies such as lactose intolerance, Celiac disease and nut allergies, so we avoid them, and if used, we prevent cross-contact with the allergy associated food,” said Sarah Barnes, Healthy Living Teacher at JM.

For the project, students also looked at healthy alternative ingredients, such as applesauce and bananas, and healthier oils, such as coconut, canola and avocado oil. Along with research ahead of time, the class also prepares for the project by watching the T.V. show “Cake Wars,” and brainstormed ideas in labs. “I usually wait to make this the final because I have majority of seniors,” said Barnes. “It's their last time to shine, and win an award for the battle.”

Boardman Optimist Club Awards New Bikes to Safety Poster Contest Winners

At the end of each school year, students at West Branch Middle School are honored at an end of the year awards ceremony for their accomplishments throughout the school year. Each year, the 8th grade algebra student with the highest grade point average is awarded the Hahlen Award for their outstanding achievements in math. This year’s recipient was Addyson Jones. She excelled in the classroom, exceeding expectations by missing fewer than 5 points total for the entire school year. This award is named after former math teacher, Tom Hahlen who had a unique style of teaching and was loved by not only his students but staff members as well as the community. He would demand nothing but the best from his students. The West Branch community lost Hahlen after a long battle with cancer several years ago, but his legacy and spirit live on through this prestigious award.

Dr. Abdu is a volunteer at the inner-city school and the driving force behind the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center at Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. He told the children about his own childhood. Born in a tiny agrarian community in Yemen, Dr. Abdu said people in his village did not have running water, cars or electricity and that he didn’t get his first pair of shoes until he was 9 years old. The children, most of whom come from impoverished families, gasped. “I care about you more than I can tell you,” Dr. Abdu told the children. “I guarantee that with hard work and perseverance things will get better [for you].” Referring to the donation the children raised, Dr. Abdu said, “This is beautiful. It is very thoughtful and loving and what I call ‘community service at its finest.’”


Boardman Principal Accepts Statewide Award For Supporting School Safety

The Ohio School Resource Officer Association will honor Glenwood Junior High Principal Bart Smith on Wednesday, June 27, at its Annual Banquet at the Crowne Plaza in Dublin, near Columbus. Principal Smith is this year’s winner of OSROA’S Distinguished School Service Award. The award is given to an administrator, teacher or staff member who supports a safe and positive learning environment and has made efforts to improve school safety. Smith was chosen from a field of nominations as the statewide winner. Glenwood School Resource Officer Phil Merlo nominated Principal Smith for the award. Officer Merlo calls Smith a “proactive administrator” who looks beyond the obvious warning signs and signals students may display to find ways to help. The following is an excerpt from Officer Merlo’s nomination letter: “Bart makes it a point to initiate and conduct home visits with me to check on students who are truant or experiencing different types of trauma and/or family issues outside of school which may be affecting their ability to function in the school setting. As a result of these visits, we have assisted numerous students and their families in acquiring beneficial services through our ‘Early Warning System’ in conjunction with the juvenile court to include counseling, drug/alcohol rehabilitation programs, financial assistance and mentoring groups.” Officer Merlo also credits Principal Smith for increased building safety, calling him “instrumental in obtaining our new security camera system and ‘man trap’ at the main entrance.”

The Mahoning Valley Disc Golf Association (MVDGA) was represented at the June 12th meeting of the Struthers Rotary Club by Justin Edwards. Justin is Coordinator of Career Services at YSU and son of host Rotarian Karen Edwards. The goal of disc golf is to transfer a disc, commonly referred to as a Frisbee® as licensed by the Wham-O Corporation. Interest in the sport has been increasing in recent years with the disc replacing the clubs and balls of traditional golf. The ‘hole’ is a structure similar in appearance to a basketball chain net and the disc must cross the outer perimeter of the ‘hole’ and be supported in the structure. The MVDGA has expanded to the point that a recent tournament in Boardman drew fifty participants and there are currently 20 venues where the sport can be played. Play is free at most parks that host disc golf fairways and anyone can participate. There are actually two common disc styles that are used. One that is the golf analogue of a driver has a sharp outer ridge to assist in achieving distance. The other has a rounded blunt edge that provides more accurate placement control and is the equivalent of a golf putter. The ‘hole’ distance involved on the disc golf fairway is typically on the order of 500 feet with a maximum of about 1200 feet. Like traditional golf, the disc sport is an excellent means to gain outdoor exercise and interact with other players.

At a recent Rotary luncheon, Canfield Rotary was pleased to welcome outbound exchange student Sydni Francis and her mother, Vicki Vickers. Sydni was a student at Western Reserve High School and will be spending the next school year in Brazil where she will be part of a family and immerse herself into the language and culture of the country. Exchange students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students 15 to 19 years old are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries. The Rotary Club of Canfield is supporting five Rotary youth exchange students for the 2018-2019 school year. Anyone interested in becoming a youth exchange student for the 2019-2020 school year, please contact any Canfield Rotarian or Sieglinde Warren at [email protected].

Nature Playce encourages children to reconnect with nature while having fun. Contributed Photo.

Nature Playce is a 2-acre nature playground that includes treehouses with a swinging bridge, a miniature zip line, giant birds nest, mud kitchen, stage and amphitheater with music area, wading pond, living willow huts, giant Lincoln Logs, and a rock mountain with a slide, among other play areas. Nature Playce also includes a sensory path and some components of the nature playground are specifically designed for ADA accessibility. A nature playground is different than a traditional playground because it is a natural play environment where children can explore and play with natural elements such as sand, water, wood and living plants. According to a 2017 report by nonprofit organization Common Sense Media, children ages 0 to 8 spend an average of 2 hours and 19 minutes daily using screen media. As children age, the amount of screen time increases, with children ages 8 to 12 spending an average of 4.5 hours using screen media, and teenagers spending up to 7.5 hours per day in front of screens. On the contrary, children spend an average of only 4 to 7 minutes in unstructured outdoor play per day, according to the National Recreation and Park Association. “Children need to reconnect to nature,” explained Melinda Carmichael, associate director of Beech Creek Gardens. “Because if they’re not connected to nature as they grow and become adults, they don’t have the subconscious reactions of how to protect the environment and why they need to protect the environment; they just want to do more technology.” For more information about Nature Playce, admission costs, and operating hours visit www.beechcreekgardens.org. Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve is located at 11929 Beech St NE in Alliance, Ohio, one mile east of State Route 62.
