Celebrating Teens from afar are busy fixing up area summer in homes, parks and church buildings Newcomb By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

NEWCOMB — The small community of Newcomb is preparing for some of its biggest events of the year in the coming weekends. The town-wide garage sale and fire department's steak roast are rapidly approaching. Next Saturday, July 18 around 20 locations will be set up for the townwide yard sale from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The annual event will take place, rain or shine. Event coordinator Nancy Tracy said both food and maps would be available. Maps of the sales will be available at both ends of town, at St. Barbara's Episcopal Church, and Aunt Polly's Inn. In addition to the private yard sales, people will also set up tables at the fire hall to sell items. The sale should be a fun event, and people may find both bargains and treasures. “You never can tell what you'll find, there could be some great bargains and I hear there's some great antiques involved,” Tracy said. The following Saturday, July 25, will see one of the town's most popular annual traditions — the 44th annual Newcomb Volunteer Fire Department steak roast and parade.

NORTH CREEK — Liz Sebald stepped out of her Main St. home Monday and looked at about 20 teens from across the nation busily painting her house. Her husband Jerry, getting on in years, hadn’t been able to accomplish the task himself, she said. ”This is an answer to our prayers,” she said, watching some of the teens from YouthWorks mission scrape paint, while others applied a thick, fresh coat. Elle Burkert, 16, of Reading Pa. lifted her brush of the house’s siding for a moment. This was her second mission trip with YouthWorks, which is hosting about 420 teens in community service outreach work through next month in Warrensburg, North Creek, Johnsburg, Chester, Bakers Mills, and surrounding communities. “I’m happy to be here, helping people, making a difference — leaving things better than when we came,” she said. “Besides, I enjoy meeting people, making new friends.” Maximilian Kennedy, 18, also

Teen volunteers from YouthWorks based in Minnesota spruce up the Bakers Mills Wesleyan Church this week, with extensive painting, fix-up and cleanup efforts. The mission outreach, sponsored by a national non-profit group, is in the area for several more weeks, fixing up private and public properties. In Johnsburg, the group installed barbecue grills and cleaned up at the North Creek Ski Bowl, fixed up the buildings and premises of Camp Triumph in Bakers Mills, and painted and renovated the dugouts and concession stands off Peaceful Valley Rd. Also, the youth have visited seniors at Tri-County Nursing Home and Whitewater Manor.
