Kindergartners at Brookfield Elementary School celebrated their 100th day of learning with a variety of activities, all centered around the number 100. In class, students played board games that counted to 100, created 100 Fruit Loop strand necklaces, had a scavenger hunt for 100 Hershey kisses, read 100th Day Worries by Margery Cuyler, did 100 exercises, and had to write about 100 things they wish they had or didn’t have. Students were also asked to create at home and bring in something containing 100 things. Some of the projects included t-shirts covered in 100 bug stickers, posters decorated with 100 balloons or dinosaur stickers and a dalmation with 100 spots to name a few.

Congratulations to the entire fifth grade class at Columbiana Middle School, for successfully completing 11 weeks of D.A.R.E. education. D.A.R.E has been a part of Columbiana Exempted Village Schools for more than 30 years. This school year, the district welcomed Patrolman Brandon Ericsson as its new D.A.R.E Officer. The middle school held its D.A.R.E graduation this week, and parents were invited to the special ceremony. Five D.A.R.E graduates read essays they wrote about going through the program, and the lessons they’ve learned. The middle school would like to thank the Family Recovery Center, the Columbiana Police Department and Crystal Dragon Family Martial Arts Center, LLC for supporting D.A.R.E at the middle school.

SURVIVING SPOUSE RIGHTS IN AN ESTATE When a person dies and there is a probate estate, there are rights provided by law to protect the surviving spouse, whether male or female and whether it is a first marriage or not, unless there is a prenuptial agreement entered into before the marriage. When there is no will, a spouse is entitled to receive a certain amount, depending whether it is a first marriage or not and whether there are minor children. Even when there is a will that does not bequeath the spouse all of the decedent’s assets, a spouse is entitled to take against the will and to receive a certain portion of the estate assets, receive the residence property, place a charge on the real estate, receive up to a $40,000 spousal allowance, to remain in the residence house for a period of time, receive up to two automobiles not otherwise bequested to someone else, receive reimbursement for the funeral bill, and receive a watercraft and outboard motor. The spouse may waive the right to these entitlements with the approval of the probate court. Preplanning may also avoid theses issues For your full service legal needs, call Hoffman and Walker Co., LPA WE ALSO DO INCOME TAXES!!

LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP

Text: LUKE 5:3-9 1. LET JESUS LAUNCH YOUR VESSEL. Let Him take possession. What will you give Jesus to spread the Gospel? 2. LET JESUS CAPTAIN YOUR VESSEL. When Christ takes possession, He also gives commission. We must trust and obey. - When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "launch (put) out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch." (Luke 5:4) Note: The Christian faith is not established in the banks of the sea of Galilee – but the Christian faith is formed in the depths. - "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. (Luke 5:5) Note: Sometimes hard work in the church brings little immediate result. We have the tendency to want to give up. Don’t give up, Give in. “...but because you say so, I will let down the nets." Note: a wonderful picture of trust and obedience. 3. AN AMAZING SATISFACTION. When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. (Luke 5:6-7) The miracle is out on the deep waters with Jesus. Satisfaction is standing on the shores in the crowd. Jesus was saying through ownership - "I'm preparing you for something greater, better.” How is He preparing you? Us? Tired and discouraged Peter and his friends were preparing their fishing nets and boats for another day of work on the morrow, but Jesus came and took command. Upon rowing to the deep water a catch of fish big enough to break nets and fill two boats to the full and overflowing happened. So even today you and I need to leave the comfort of the crowd on the shore and go to the deep and hard places to bring the message of love, salvation, and grace to all. Be fishers of men, women, and children!

Beech Creek Gardens invites local artists to celebrate spring’s arrival and support education and preservation of the environment by exhibiting and selling their works during the Art in Bloom exhibit April 16 through May 27. This annual outdoor art exhibit features various movements of the arts nestled in with thousands of gorgeous flowers and plants, resulting in a beautiful “horticultural art gallery” of color and fragrance. Artists of all ages and experience levels are encouraged to participate in the exhibit by displaying their works for the 6-week exhibition period. There is no limit to the number of pieces an artist can submit and there is no requirement for specific mediums or subject matters. The main criteria for the artwork is that most of the pieces submitted must be able to withstand the weather since it is an ongoing outdoor exhibit. Otherwise, there is limited space inside the plant conservatory for indoor artwork. Melinda Carmichael, associate

director of Beech Creek Gardens, explained why local artists should participate in Art in Bloom. “It’s a really unique venue for the artists to display their work in and to an audience type that maybe they’ve never presented their work to before, and hopefully they will sell some of their art,” said Carmichael. “Also, it’s a really great way for the artists to support our mission and what we’re doing here and that collaboration I think is so important for both of us. We really do appreciate the artists that step up and help us with this exhibit.” Besides having their work on display to a unique audience of more than 1,000 visitors throughout the course of the exhibition, another benefit to the artists who participate in Art in Bloom is selling their pieces that are on display without any commission fee. “We just really want to put on a great exhibit and inspire people not only with the beautiful gardens, but also inspire them with beautiful art, and we don’t want to limit that by

taking commissions,” said Carmichael. In addition, all participating artists will be featured on the Beech Creek Gardens website and Facebook page, and the Gardens will also distribute the artists’ business cards to visitors and interested buyers. Potential buyers will contact the artists directly. If an artist is interested in displaying and selling their works during Art in Bloom, they should visit www.beechcreekgardens.org where they can download, complete and submit the Artist Agreement form by March 31, 2018. A committee then reviews the applications and selects which artists and artwork will be accepted into the exhibition. For more information about participating in Art in Bloom as an artist, visit www.beechcreekgardens.org, or contact Beech Creek Gardens at 330-8297050 or [email protected]. Beech Creek Gardens is located at 11929 Beech St NE in Alliance, Ohio, one mile east of State Route 62.

GALLAVANTIN’ In memory of Jane A. Harris By SueEllen Harris-Davis My spirit soars as I behold, The flowers bursting forth, And I am glad we all survived, A winter in the North. Spring, the calendar says, has arrived. I don’t think I feel the warmth of the sunshine quite yet but it is a promise the weatherman makes. Purple crocus occasionally try to emerge but, alas, are still not ready to adorn the garden, being cautious of winter chill still often with us at evening time. Most of us are patiently waiting for Spring to return to us and stay. It won’t be long now. The calendar is filled with Easter Celebrations now that St. Patrick’s Day is gone. Kravitz Delicatessen on Belmont Avenue was one of the many spots both Friday and Saturday for Irish music, good food, and plenty of fun. Even some step dancers provided entertainment on Friday night along with “County Mayo” creating the lively Irish music for the evening. Bill Lewis of Girard added his two sons for the night with their guitars on some of the pieces along with a flute player, singer, and keyboard player to put everyone in the right spirit of a St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. Three hours of Irish tunes with never a repeated one was quite a treat to hear. The group’s website is: CountyMayoIrishMusic.com. The Girard First United Methodist Church will present the Easter Cantata “Victory!” It is a Proclamation of Easter arranged and orchestrated by Mary Parks. The 4-Song Musical Presentation will be presented on Palm Sunday, March 25th, at the 9:30 a.m. Traditional Service. The 24 member Adult Choir is directed by Joe Yaksich. The Narrator for the presentation is Janice Stevens. Bonnie Hood is the church organist. Soloists are Kim Fisher and Beverly Young. Songs include “Hosanna! Emmanuel!” “In Remembrance of Me,” “My Victory,” and “Up From the Grave He Arose.” This upbeat musical will only be sung at the Traditional Service. The accompaniment will be presented with CD orchestral background. The Public is encouraged to attend. The Pastor is Vicky Kelly. Girard Knights of Columbus Fish Dinner will be held for the last time during Lent on Friday, March 23rd, from 4 to 7 p.m. The Knights of Columbus Hall is located at 122 S. State St. (Route 422) in Girard near the freeway, across from the Girard Dairy Queen. The Public is Encouraged to Attend. The cost is $9.00 for Adults, children 4 years old to 12 years old for $4.50, and children under 4 years for free. The menu consists of Baked or Fried Fish, a choice of French Fries, Macaroni and Cheese, or Haluski, Cole Slaw, Bread, Coffee, and Cake for Dessert. Pop and Bottled Water are $1.00. Carry Out or Eat In. Call for Carry Out and they will have it ready at 330-545-3432 or just stop in. The food is great and the fellowship is enjoyable. There are also Raffle Tickets available for a 55 inch TV. This is the final Friday Night and you won’t want to miss this great Friday Night Fish Dinner. The St. Rose Mt. Carmel Society will have a Bake Sale on Palm Sunday, March 25th, from 7:30 to 11 a.m. in Rosetta Hall of St. Rose Church. There will be favorite Easter Goodies for sale including Kolache (Nut and Apricot), Easter Bread, Pizzelles, Pies, Cakes, Cookies, and more. Stop in and take home some delicious baked items. Maundy Thursday services will be held throughout the Girard Community. The service will be held at the Girard First United Methodist Church on Thursday, March 29th, beginning at 7 p.m. The Girard First Baptist Church on the corner of Kline Street and State Street will have a very unique service in their Fellowship Hall with candle light, music, and special foods for the Lenten Celebration. Several other churches in the community will also hold special services for the day. Girard’s Good Friday Ecumenical Service will take place at the Girard First Baptist Church beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 30th. There will be a Community Ecumenical Choir directed by Sally Williams. Those wanting to sing as part of the choir should meet at 6:15 p.m. at the church for a brief rehearsal. Ursuline High School will host an “All That Glitters is Green and Gold Fashion Show” on Sunday, April 15th, at The Lake Club in Poland. The cost is $55 and includes a sit-down luncheon. The fashion show will feature styles from Ivory and Birch and Dillards. Hair and make-up will be provided by Magnolia’s On the Green Salon. Sponsorship opportunities are available.

Staying organized at tax time By Bill Welsh

Organizing your tax records not only makes filing your tax return easier, it also helps you find the financial documents you need throughout the year. Whether you’ve already filed your tax return or are about to, here are some tips to get organized. Go with the flow (of your tax return) Try organizing your records in the same order as they are required to fill out your 1040 individual tax return, using these categories: 1. Income. Copies of W-2s, 1099s, Social Security statements, interest income and investment income. 2. Charitable donations. Charitable donation receipts, separated by cash and noncash contributions. Include a copy of your charitable activity mileage log, if you have one. 3. Medical and dental. All documents related to medical expenses. You may also include a note calculating your medical deduction threshold (which is 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income during 2017 and 2018). 4. Other itemized deductions. Proof of all other itemized deductions, including state and local tax statements, mortgage interest, casualty and theft losses, unreimbursed business expenses and other miscellaneous itemized deductions. Note that miscellaneous itemized deductions are eliminated after the 2017 tax year, but keep any records for this tax season on file. 5. Business and hobby activity. Keep separate records for each hobby and business activity. Include records of related investments, expenses and mileage logs. 6. Education. Records of all education expenses, including invoices, tuition, materials (including for things such as books or musical instruments) and fees. 7. Investments. Records of investments in tax-advantaged retirement accounts, as well as contributions to investable accounts such as health savings accounts (HSAs) and 529 education savings plans. Also include records of capital gains and losses, particularly for tax-loss harvesting purposes. 8. Odds and ends. Put all the miscellaneous receipts that don’t fit anywhere else into this file. Depending on your situation, you may be able to get tax breaks for a variety of expenses. Bonus tips:  How long should you keep your records? For tax filings, the IRS requires you to keep your records on hand for at least three years after you file. Some states require you to keep records longer than that, and the federal government can ask you to keep records for six years if you understate your income.  Keep track by going digital. If keeping track of your tax records year after year sounds like a chore, at least things are easier in the digital age. You can scan your paper records and keep them digitally, but remember to keep your records backed up and secure from identity theft.  Make a checklist. If you’re still waiting for some tax forms to arrive, go back to last year’s return and make a checklist of all the forms you received. Add items for any new accounts or vendors you added since then, and check off the forms as they arrive.

Yalonda Stewart addressed members of the Rotary Club of Austintown regarding the special services of Care Club in helping those with special needs find appropriate services for their needs. Stewart became aware of the gaps in current treatments and accommodations as the parent of a preschool daughter who is currently having much more success with some alterations and special methods. She spoke of an Easter Egg Hunt on March 24 at the Austintown Senior Center at 1 p.m. as a current project. Stewart can be reached at [email protected] or by calling 330-967-0495.

Damascus Elementary School Principal, Caitlin Reash, and school secretary Corie Sands, spent a Friday afternoon duct taped to the gymnasium wall as part of a PIE scholarship fundraiser. From February 19-22, students purchased strips of duct they would use to duct tape their principal to the gym wall. A total of $1,952.71 was raised from this year’s fundraiser, which was more than double the money they raised last school year. As a bonus for the students, since they raised more than their $1,350 goal, the school secretary was also duct taped. The top two students who donated the most money also got to pie Mrs. Reash and Mrs. Sands in the face. This event is done each year and all money raised funds the Damascus PIE Scholarship, which is given to one graduating senior who attended Damascus Elementary School for at least 4 years. “It was a messy and fun fundraiser, but the entire school really looks forward to it each school year,” said Reash. “I am especially proud of my students for doubling the total dollars we raised last year and help aid this great scholarship.”

Jensen is a 6-year-old, DSH male. He is brown/black and white. He was found as a stray and cared for by someone until they brought him here in December. He was microchipped, but his owners could not be located. He is neutered and extremely friendly! Jensen is loving but does have that mischievous streak! His adoption fee is $20.18 and includes his neuter, vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing, a microchip with registration and more.

T-Rex is a 3-year-old blue/white Pit mix. He was surrendered by his owners in December when they could no longer care for him. He is quite an active dog and very vocal. He has an independent personality and does not care to be the center of attention. He does have some dominant tendencies, so a meet and greet is recommended. He loves to run around at play time and chase tennis balls. His adoption fee is $150 and includes his neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing, microchip with registration and more. Shelter hours are Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 6p.m. Adoptions close at 5:30 p.m. The shelter is closed on Sundays and Mondays. AWL shelter is located at 812 Youngstown Kingsville Road SE in Vienna, across the street from Avalon at Squaw Creek. For more information call, 330-539-5300 or visit www.awlrescueme.com.

4 Way Speech Contest Winner Chosen

What you might not know about 4-H

Brookfield 4H Friends (not all members present): Back row left to right: Luke Wagner, Sam Wagner, Josie Wagner, Jorja Bonar; Front row: Brigid Wagner-Donlin, Emma Wiley, Jocelyn Burmingham, Ainsley Wagner. Contributed Photo. Three Fitch Speech Team members presented their 4 Way Test entries at the March 12 meeting of the Rotary Club of Austintown. With the aid of their coach Andrea Reed, each were given the Rotary 4 Way Test as a theme, and explored how the four questions would enable the public to determine what course of action to take in daily decisions. The questions are: Is it the TRUTH, Is it FAIR to all concerned, Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS, and finally Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned. With this guideline, and a limit of four to seven minutes, each chose topics like school shootings, opioids, and hurtful words as application areas. Winner was Haley Farrow, Fitch junior, and she will compete on a district level in Akron on April 7 at the Fairways Golf Club. Pictured (left to right) are Haley Farrow, John Zimmerman, and Jordan Evans. Contributed Photo.

The month of March is 4-H month. What do you think of when you hear 4-H? Fair, ribbons, animals? Of course, all of these are true, but 4-H is so much more! 4-H was founded in Clark County, Ohio in 1902 and is still providing the structure for kids to join together to make a difference in their communities, their country, and themselves. 4-H offers leadership opportunities and training, community service projects, and learning responsibility while having fun. There are many projects available through 4-H. Yes, there are many animal projects, but did you know that 4-H projects include crafting, photography, rockets, sewing, shooting sports, decorating cakes, and even the Horseless Horse project! And that is just the tip of the iceberg of what 4H offers. Joining a local 4-H group is easy. Information can be found online at the Ohio State University Extension website for your local county.

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

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

In celebration of national Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, Choffin Career and Technical Center invited Youngstown City School District tenth graders to visit the career center. While at Choffin, teens connected with three careerrelated programs that matched their college and/or career interests. Students got a first-hand look at the career and technical education options offered by touring the center, meeting with instructors, and taking part in hands-on demonstrations with current students. Prospective students also had the opportunity to meet with career representatives from six new programs Choffin will be offering next year: Barbering, Dental Technology, Healthcare Management, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Teaching Professions and a Veterinary Technician program. The application deadline for incoming juniors to apply is April 1, 2018. To learn more about the programs offered and to enroll at Choffin, visit choffinctc.com.

Harbor Woods Living at Niles: All the luxuries of independent living with the benefits of renting Baby Boomers have become the fastest-growing group of renters across the nation. More than 5 million baby boomers across the nation are expected to rent their next home by 2020, according to a 2016 analysis from Freddie Mac. Some boomers want to stay close to the neighborhoods they have lived in for decades, others are following their children. “As you get older, there are only so many things you want to concentrate on. Apartment life lets you focus on things that matter and get rid of stuff that takes up a lot of time,” says Diane Allison, Vice President of Operations for Harbor Woods Living at Niles. When it comes to purchasing a residence to call their own, homeowners have long justified the costs based on one simple premise: why rent when you can own? With the promise of fixed incomes and slowerpaced lifestyles looming, a

growing number of seniors are beginning to ask themselves why they continue to own when they have the option of renting. “As many people have discovered, renting has many overlooked advantages,” said Jennifer Wickham, property manager for Harbor Woods Living in Niles. “From saving you money to offering maintenance-free living, it has become the preferred choice for many individuals, especially seniors.” At Harbor Woods Living, Wickham said, residents are afforded the luxury of downsizing without having to trade in their active lifestyles or the many amenities to which they’ve grown accustomed. In fact, there’s a fairly good chance the fourstory, 127-unit complex open to residents 55 and older, affords them even more luxuries than they would have if they decided to remain in their homes. To start, Wickham said, Harbor Woods Living

Aut Mori Grotto Pancake Breakfast

offers one- and twobedroom floorplans that offer in-unit washers and dryers, walk-in showers, monitored entryways, balconies and patios and fullsize kitchens. There is even an in-house beauty parlor and barber shop, a fully outfitted poker / blackjack game room, private dining room for more intimate settings, as well as a wellappointed fitness center. For residents who like to host parties during the holidays or for special occasions, there is a large Community Room with a full kitchen and access to a community patio that can be reserved for their use. “Our residents have access to all of this plus the comfort in knowing there’s no longer a need to find the time to cut the grass or shovel the driveway,” Wickham said, noting that water, sewer and trash fees, along with

all maintenance fees, are included in the monthly rent. “So that means if the water tank breaks, or if the air conditioning stops working, there’s no need to worry. It’s all taken care of.” The fully ADAcompliant complex, which is conveniently located adjacent to the Eastwood Mall complex at the corner of Route 422 and Route 46, is close to all the shopping, dining needs and daily errand necessities one could need. Harbor Woods Living is also located within the parameters of the Trumbull County Transit System, which provides low cost rides to physician’s offices and other locations to area seniors. Harbor Woods Living at Niles offers a range of social activity options available to its residents. Social Hours, crafts, a variety of educational speaker

series and lunch and learns, as well as monthly birthday celebrations and resident pot lucks. “Harbor Woods Living is about ‘aging in the right place,’” says Allison. “There are definitely plenty of opportunities to make friends with common interests and to get to know your neighbors, that’s for sure.” Harbor Woods Living, located 1801 Phoenix Place, behind the new Toyota of Warren, is open for tours Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.

to 5 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays and by appointment only on Sundays. New Move in Specials are currently being offered and the savings have never been better. They will be holding their much anticipated “Spring Savings Spectacular” event Friday April 5th and Saturday April 6th from 10 am – 3 pm. There will be many additional incentives offered during the event. For more information, call 330505-6081 or visit harborwoodsliving.com.

Easter Traditions Bring Families Together By Victoria Remley

Easter celebrates family and religion. People celebrate Easter through family traditions or traditions they created. Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday begins with Lent, a 40 day fasting period, and ends with the “Passion of Christ,” a commemoration of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Theresa Daoust from Sharon, Pennsylvania celebrates Lent during Easter every year. “Being strict Italian Catholics, we celebrated Lent through going to church. We would get up and my dad would say you can find your Easter baskets. It was hidden. We found our big baskets, got ready for church and then we would go to 8 a.m. mass. We would go to the donut store and get all these donuts because he [her dad] gave up donuts. We would have donuts and candy for breakfast. For Easter dinner we would have a big ham and my grandparents, my uncles and my cousins all came over,” Daoust said. Daoust celebrated Easter at her dad’s house. “When my grandmother was alive she would come to my dad’s house, so it was mainly always at my dad’s house. With Catholics it’s always at the matriarch’s house, which was my grandmother and then when she downsized it became the patriarch, which was my father. Now that they’re gone, this year it’s at my house because I’m the matriarch now,” Daoust said. Kim Lechner from Ellwood City, Pennsylvania celebrates Easter Day at her home. “My brothers and sisters are a lot younger than me, so she [her mother] still hides stuff around the house for me and for them. It’s not necessarily an egg hunt anymore. I haven’t been home in the past two years, so she does it for them [her brothers and sisters] mainly,” Lechner said. Kenny Reyes from Youngstown, Ohio celebrates Easter on Easter Day. “We spend time with family. Lately, our traditions have changed because my father passed away and my mom is now paralyzed, so what we used to do is no longer a tradition,” Reyes said. Reyes practices Puerto Rican traditions on Easter. “On good Friday we would go to church and spend the weekend cleaning because it’s spring. If you live in a Puerto Rican household your house has to be spotless. There was no T.V. We had to make sure the house was clean and everything was done. The traditions that were taught to us was that you had to be bathed at a certain time because the water will turn into blood,” Reyes said. Reyes said his family went to church and ate Easter dinner at his parent’s house. Kim Chandler from Hubbard, Ohio celebrates Easter on Easter Sunday at her aunt’s house. “We do Easter baskets for the kids, Sunday church and Sunday dinner over at my aunt’s house. It used to be at my grandmother’s house, but my grandparents passed away so now it’s at my aunt’s house. We have a ham dinner,” Chandler said. Easter can be celebrated in many different ways. Take some time to celebrate the holiday with the people you love the most.

ASK THE LIBRARIAN “Sometimes when I’m online, a website will ask me to type in a bunch of weird letters and numbers, or pick out all the pictures that have a car or a street sign, or just click box that says ‘I’m not a robot’ before it lets me go any further. Why does this happen?” These are a few different examples of a CAPTCHA, an acronym that stands for “completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart.” According to Architects of the Information Age, edited by Robert Curley, the CAPTCHA was developed in 2000 by computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University. Yahoo requested their help keeping bots (which are automated computer programs) out of their chat rooms. The bots were collecting personal information and filling the rooms with spam. However, the programs couldn’t recognize distorted text. By asking users to identify twisted or crossed-out letters before they could enter the chat, Yahoo ensured that only people, not bots, could enter their chat rooms. The official CAPTCHA website gives us a few more examples of what it does. It can prevent bots from sending spam comments, stuffing the ballot boxes of online polls, and slowing down email services by signing up for thousands of accounts at a time. If you forget your email password and have to make a few guesses, the site may ask you to solve a CAPTCHA. This protects your account by keeping bots from running through every possible password until they get in. There are ways to circumvent CAPTCHA. Artificial intelligence has gotten good at solving the ones that are only text, which explains why newer CAPTCHAs can involve images. For answers to your questions, visit the Newton Falls Public Library, 204 S. Canal Street, Newton Falls or phone 330-8721282. For information about all the free library programs or hours, visit our website at www.newtonfalls.org or our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/NewtonFallsLibrary.

Seeing: A Look Into Light and the Human Eye By Victoria Remley

Seeing, a show at the Ward Beecher Planetarium, teaches people how light works with their eyes allowing them to see. Tiffany Wolbrecht, the Planetarium Lecturer, said Seeing is a fulldome show produced by Mirage 3D and narrated by the famous American Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. “It combines Astronomy and Ophthalmology by following a photon through our galaxy, Earth's atmosphere, a telescope, and finally a young viewer's eye. From there we learn how humans perceive light,” Wolbrecht said. The program shows that planetariums are not limited to stars. “In Seeing, we actually travel through and study the eye. While astronomy is at the core of what we do, Ward Beecher Planetarium can immerse you in other fun and exciting science topics as well,” Wolbrecht said. Wolbrecht added Seeing to the Planetarium’s schedule because of its unique content. “When I first saw this show, I immediately wanted it on our public schedule. The graphics are stunning, and the production quality is high. It also provides our audience with something different and with the signature soothing voice of Dr. Tyson, you can't go wrong,” Wolbrecht said. Chris and Janet Shoemaker from Poland, Ohio thought the show was fantastic. “It’s always pleasurable. We come not as often as we like, but this is one [show] we thought would be of interest,” Chris Shoemaker said. Shoemaker came to the show because he was interested in the material being covered. “I read about it and I heard people have been to see it. Being an eye doctor, I thought I should go see it to see what it’s all about,” Shoemaker said. Shoemaker’s enjoyed the star show. “The star show was nice. It was more of a general interest. I was more interested in the neurology thing, and that was interesting. I think the average person might get lost in that [neurology],” Shoemaker said. Shoemaker thought the neurology section of the show was something people should learn about. “The neurology was good. The average consumer can see what we as eye doctors learn and know and how there’s more to it than just getting some glasses and contact lenses,” Shoemaker said. Elena Powell from Coitsville, Ohio said she and her husband enjoyed the show. “We try to see every show. We enjoy them,” Powell said. Powell said the star show brought back memories of her camping trip. “I like looking at the stars when they get rid of the light pollution. One time we were out West camping and we saw it [the sky] and it looked like that. Every time they do the air and light pollution I feel like I’m back there where we went camping,” Powell said. Michael Soles and his family from Austintown, Ohio thought the show was excellent. “I wish they would have had a few more questions, but I think everyone wants to go out because it’s Saint Patrick’s Day,” Soles said. Soles came to the event for the star show. “It was something to do after dinner as a family,” Soles said. Sole’s favorite part of the show was the planet presentation. “Pointing the planets out because our back-porch points West and I wondered what those two [stars] were while watching the sun goes down,” Soles said. The last showing of Seeing is March 24 at 8 p.m.

Hubbard High School students marked National Walkout Day by gathering in the auditorium to honor the 17 victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Hubbard High School’s student council organized the assembly, which featured 17 speakers who shared information about each person killed in last month’s attack. The featured speakers also lit candles in honor the 14 students and three adults who lost their lives. Hubbard’s Mayor John Darko, Safety Director Lou Carsone and Police Chief Jim Taafe, who were invited by student council to speak at the assembly, offered their continued support of the district. Police Chief Taafe also reminded students if they see something, say something. Superintendent Raymond Solomon commended the student body for their thoughtful presentation. At the end of the ceremony, Principal Brandie Yobe encouraged students to fill out a safety survey. Administrators hope to learn more about students’ perceptions on school safety and learn what changes students feel would benefit the school. Hubbard Middle School students were encouraged to remember the 17 people who were killed by completing 17 acts of kindness. "Honor 17" Day was organized by the middle school student council.

On March 14, 2018 in observance of the National School Walkout CMHS students held a memorial for the victims of Parkland High School. An impassioned speech about creating an inclusive, anti-bullying environment was delivered by Junior Katie Violi (left) who organized the event. Seventeen students and faculty members (top right) represented and read the names of those lost at Parkland while Junior Kyle Jornigan (right) rang the Victory Bell 17 times in their honor. The memorial concluded with a prayer for nonviolence and a reading by CMHS student Zach Perkins of Parkland student Alex Scachter's last poem "Life is Like a Roller Coaster" which reminds us to live each day to the fullest.

The high school Student Dialogue Committee, along with administrators, teachers, and staff, created what we hope will be a legacy event--much like our YES Fest--an annual event, borne out of tragedy, that will be motivational as well as call students to action. The event included a student produced video, an emergency lockdown drill where 17 chimes were sounded in honor of the 17 killed in Florida, then a Spartan Clap Out for our first responders to thank them.

Sutliff Museum presents Victorian Hygiene Exhibit

police, fire and paramedics were honored in the clap out, and you could hear students say “thank you” as they walked by. Voter Registration tables were also busy during lunch today. Board of Elections Secretary Raymond Butler said he was stunned by the number of kids who approached him with questions. More than 90 registered to vote, today. “This was one of the most meaningful, inspiring events I think we’ve ever had at Boardman High School,”

said Principal Cindy Fernback. “Accolades should be directed to the Student Dialogue Committee, who not only crafted the event, but more importantly showed true leadership in creating student buy-in for a unified effort that respects the school district’s safety policies. Principal Fernback also thanked Boardman’s first

responders. “I think without the responders being so involved, and showing up in the large number that they did, we could not have possibly had such a great impact on the students as I know we had today. The expressions on our students’ faces as the canine unit lead the way through the halls is something I will never forget.”

The Sutliff Museum is pleased to announce its newest exhibit: Being a Victorian: Hygiene History of the 19th Century is now open to the public through August 2018. This temporary exhibit explores the hygiene habits of men and women living in the late 1800s. Part of the exhibit touches on the ways people kept themselves clean including shaving. The remaining showcases the personal accessories that men and women used on a daily basis including gloves and hats. The exhibit features items from the Sutliff Museum and Trumbull County Historical Society collections. The Sutliff Museum, operated by The Warren Library Association, is located on the second floor of the WarrenTrumbull County Public Library at 444 Mahoning Avenue in Warren’s historic residential district. Admission is free and hours of operation are from 3:00-6:00pm Wednesday and Thursday and 1:00-4:00pm Friday and Saturday. Tours may be arranged at other times by calling the museum.

Boardman Second Graders Use Their Marbles Top: Mia Martin, Mitchell Evans, Logan Miller, and Callie Walker showing how their marble run works. Above: Kaylee Bushling, Milo Wright, and Christopher Solvesky testing out their marble track. Contributed Photos.

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.

Austintown Historical Society holds annual President's Day dinner

On Wednesday, Feb. 7, the Austintown Historical Society observed their annual President's Day dinner at Davidson's Restaurant in Cornersburg. Mr. Wade Schisler shared his memories of his childhood growing up with his family while they worked and lived at the old Mahoning County home on Herbert Road, also known as The Infirmary, poor house, old folk's home or "The POGEY". Wade knew the many residents who worked the farm and served themselves. Wade's uncle, Mr. Charles Lee was superintendent for some twenty years and his wife Mayme assisted in the daily workings. During The Depression, the home was a lifesaver for many people.

The students in her Parenting class will be using the new sewing machine to create infant-sized quilts. Students are applying their mathematical knowledge and skills in the planning process of their quilt. In the spring, the class will donate the quilts to the pediatric unit of Mercy Medical Hospital in Canton, Ohio. This project is being done as part of the class’s service learning curriculum standard. "My appreciation of the First Energy STEM Grant has spearheaded West Branch High School to add an Interior Design & Clothing course for students in the 2018-19 school year," said Coffee.

The Veris have donated a total of $270,000 to the Spartan Stadium Project, and to date, they are the largest sole contributor. Karen Veri accepted the award at the civic group’s Annual Community Awards Dinner at the Lariccia Center on February 22. Her husband Bill was out of town, but she was accompanied by several family members, including her son, Anthony, who is currently a sophomore and band member at Boardman High School. “When we consider the Community Service Award, The Boardman Civic Association looks for the humble and generous nature that comes so naturally to the Veris,” said Mark Luke, Civic Association member and emcee for the event. “It is the very nature of service that brings us here tonight, because on TWO occasions the Veris have generously supported the Spartan Stadium Project...they leave a lasting impact and legacy to be used and enjoyed for years to come.” In 2016, the couple donated $150,000 to build the Band Shell, and then in the fall of 2017, they announced an additional donaVeri, Karen Veri, Boardman Schools Superintendent Tim tion of $120,000 to jump start the third and final phase which will Anthony Saxton, Booster President Bruce Flyak.

“Shop until You Drop” has new meaning for Canfield Rotary

At a recent Rotary luncheon, Paula Kalaman, Executive Director of the Hope House Visitation Center in Youngstown was the speaker. Hope House provides a safe, homelike atmosphere where supervised visitations and exchanges can take place when there are issues of divorce, separation, or safety concerns for children. It is a non-profit public charity primarily funded by federal, state and private grants. Ms. Kalaman explained that it is the goal of the Center to help provide safety, stability, and nurturing for children in struggling

families and to assist in maintaining an essential relationship with both parents and extended family members in a safe and cheerful setting. When asked by a club member if Ms. Kalaman had a "wish-list" for the Center, she shared a very modest list of items such as postage stamps, disinfectant wipes, and after school snacks for the children. That’s all the motivation Canfield Rotarians needed. At Canfield’s Valentine Dinner/Dance, a collection for the agency was held and $1200 was collected. “Shop and Drop” plans

Brendan Butler, an 8th grade student at Glenwood Junior High, will compete in the 2018 Ohio State Geography Bee on Friday, April 6 at the Fawcett Center on OSU’s campus. This is his second trip to the State Bee--Brendan finished in the top 10 last year, as a 7th grader. The National Geographic Bee, an academic contest for students in grades 4-8 is the ultimate goal. The range of material includes social studies, earth and space science, the environment, and culture. Of course, geography is at its core. Students must take a qualifying test to compete at the State level. Brendan is one of only two students from the Mahoning Valley to qualify. He'll compete against the top 100 students from across Ohio. “Brendan took the qualifying test, which allows for exactly one hour to complete...and he finished all the questions in less than 20 minutes,” explained Glenwood Social Studies teacher Vince Carnevale. “Brendan has worked hard, studying and learning about other cultures, and countries, and he truly loves it.” The winner of the State Bee will advance to the National Geography Bee, which will be held in Washington, DC May 20-23. These events are sponsored by the National Geographic Society in order to improve geographic literacy and integrate more technology into the classroom.

The GFWC Ohio Austintown Junior Women’s League recently completed a Conservation project that benefited U.S. Veterans. With a generous donation from “Things Remembered” of blankets and robes that had been erroneously embroidered, members were able to make lap blankets, walker bags, and therapy balls. Members trimmed out the fabric, sewed seams into the blankets, fringed them, and added decorative buttons. Each blanket was then rolled and decorated with ribbon. AJWL members made and signed greeting cards to accompany each item, thanking the veterans for their service to our country. Specialist 4th Class Harry Reinhart, who is a bilateral amputee, spoke to the group about the need for these items at our local VAs. Mr. Reinhart was delivering the items donated by the AJWL to the Wade Park Veterans Hospital in Cleveland.

Members of The Ursuline Center’s Prayer Shawl Ministry cleaned out their closets for a great cause. The ladies, who hail from Mahoning and Trumbull counties, meet monthly to create shawls for ill residents in our area. Now they’re sending supplies to Nigeria to help women there become entrepreneurs. Pat Cuttica, a parishioner from St. Christine Parish, Youngstown, is friends with a priest from Nigeria who has visited in this area and the supplies will be sent to him to help women there learn knitting, crocheting and quilting to help their families financially. Eileen W. Novotny, Prayer Shawl Ministry Coordinator at The Ursuline Center, says, “I am thrilled that our extras are finally finding a home and all the possibilities they will bring into the lives of other women a world away. Our prayer shawl ministry has been the ‘mother’ to many other groups that have started up over the years, and here is a chance for our legacy to continue.” The Prayer Shawl Volunteers always appreciate donations of yarn. The shawls and preemie caps they make for area patients are given free of charge. The group also welcomes new members. For more information, contact Novotny at 330-533-3831.

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

The Ruritan understand that these students need a strong command of the English language to tackle today's assessments, such as the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. This exam, along with many others, will allow students to demonstrate their strong vocabulary. The dictionaries can be used across the curriculum to strengthen their vocabulary, as well as reinforcing their language skills. In today's world of technology, students still need to know how to use basic research tools such as the dictionary and thesaurus.

Mill Creek Metroparks brought their interactive map of Ohio to Struthers Elementary School for an engaging history lesson. The fourth grade students at SES spent the day learning about the history of wildlife and settlers in Ohio. Arika Preas and Cody Stoll, from Mill Creek Park, explored Ohio’s history from the time it became a state in 1803 to present day. Each student was given a notecard with an historical fact and took turns reading their card outload for the rest of the group. They also removed something from or added something to the map, based on the fact on their notecard. This showed the students how the state of Ohio changed and evolved over time. “Our fourth grade students really look forward to this visit every year and learn so much from our Mill Creek Park guests about Ohio’s history and wildlife,” said teacher Pam Jones.

36th Annual Mill Creek MetroParks Earth Day Cleanup Seeking Groups to Participate

With over 40 locations in the Mill Creek MetroParks system needing attention, more groups are needed more than ever to lend a hand and participate in this year’s Earth Day Cleanup. Although more than 300 Scouts and volunteers are expected to scour Mill Creek MetroParks in recognition of Earth Day to remove winter buildup of litter and debris, more help is needed. The cleanup is co-sponsored by the Whispering Pines District of the Great Trail Council, B.S.A. and Mill Creek MetroParks. The cleanup takes place on Saturday, April 21, 2018, throughout Mill Creek MetroParks. Coordinators will stop by the Ford Nature Education Center (840 Old Furnace Road, Youngstown, OH 44511) to pick up supplies before 9 a.m. and then meet with their groups at various locations and work until noon. This cleanup takes place rain or shine. In 35 years, more than 11,725 participants have volunteered more than 36,000 hours to clean various areas of the MetroParks. Just in the past 16 years, more than 2,400 bags of trash and 1100 bags of recyclables along with numerous loose items such as tires, toys, furniture, pipes, wood crates, electronic items, and even the proverbial kitchen sink, have been removed. Last year, there were fewer bags of trash but more bags of recyclables. As in years past, sponsorship of this event is in cooperation with the Recycling Division of the Mahoning County Green Team. They will be providing these hardworking volunteers with trash and recycling bags, gloves, and grab-its, as well as pencils, certificates, and car litter bags for each participant. This event is also in conjunction with the Keep America Beautiful Great American Cleanup, the country’s largest community improvement program that kicks off in more than 20,000 communities each spring. This national program engages more than 5 million volunteers and participants who take action in their communities every year to create positive change and lasting impact. Details can be found out at https://www.kab.org/our-partners . The MetroParks hosts the event by facilitating the organization and registration of groups, sites and supplies. Areas within this cleanup include Mill Creek Park and Mill Creek MetroParks Regional Facilities Yellow Creek Park and the MetroParks Farm. For more information about this year’s cleanup or to have your group, organization, church, school, family or individuals come out and lend a hand, call the Ford Nature Education Center at 330.740.7107 or Mike Kupec, Mill Creek MetroParks Earth Day Cleanup Chairman for the Boy Scouts at 330-519-3988.
