Tressel shares steps to success with students By ALEXIS BARTOLOMUCCI abartolomucci@vindy.com

The junior and senior classes at Austintown Fitch High School got a special lecture from Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel on Dec. 5. Tressel shared stories about his time in school, as head football coach at Ohio State Un iversit y a nd a s cu r rent President of Youngstown State University. As Tressel spoke to the students, he mentioned four steps to success as well as three determinants for future success. His fou r steps i ncluded : dream and make goals, work, handle t he ups and dow ns and believe. The three determinants were hav ing good friends, getting involved in activities outside of class and become financially smart. “I always believed that each and every one of us needs to think about really what success means,” Tressel told the

students. A t t he e nd of Tr e s s e l’s speech, he brought up several students to quiz them about what he ta l ked about. He asked the students about his four tips and three determinants, and whoever got it right got a coupon for a free pretzel. The students who didn’t know the answer had the opportunity to ask another student in the audience. Hannah Clavin, a junior student in the audience, said she enjoyed the presentation from Tressel. She explained that he was a different speaker than some of the ones that usually come to visit the students. “He speaks more in a level that we understand. It was a very good speech, I enjoyed it. He had a lot of very good tips,” said Clavin.

Cardinal Mooney gives back Neighbors | Submitted

Celebrate summer

To celebrate Giving Tuesday, Cardinal Mooney High School, along with an anonymous Alumna donor, contributed $500 to the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley. This donation was made in honor of all Lumen Christi eighth-graders in the Diocese of Youngstown and St. Paul’s School, Salem, and St. Joseph the Provider School, Youngstown. Eighth-graders are unable to volunteer at the Mission due to age constraints, so Mooney wanted to make sure these younger students would be represented in the annual Giving Tuesday event. CMHS Hospitality Team members presented the check to Crystal Eckman, Mission Ambassador, and toured the facility on Nov. 29. Pictured are, from left, (front) Kate Pelini, Nico Marchionda, Crystal Eckman (Mission Ambassador), Mackenzie Hammond; (back) Nick Blasko, Taylor Martin and Pat Pelini.

Rotary makes holiday donations Neighbors | Submitted

The Austintown Rotary has been busy this holiday season. Members visited programs in the Austintown district to donate to their cause. The group’s first stop was to PTA President Lori Schafer to present her with a check for $1,500 for the organization’s Falcon Outreach Program. The program will help approximately 100 families between the four buildings (Austintown Elementary, Intermediate, Middle and High Schools) with gift cards for Christmas. Rotary members also met with Family and Consumer Science teacher Donna Burnell to give a $500 donation to Kritti’s Closet, a room housed at Fitch High School that provides clothing, personal hygiene products and meals to students in need. Burnell said that the money would be used to purchase meals for approximately 50 families. Pictured are, from left, Tracie Kaglic (Rotary), Family Consumer Science Teacher, Donna Burnell, Christina Gaca (Rotary) and Brian Frederick (Rotary).

They are available at austintownflags.com. Pictured is Mark Cole presenting a check to Rick Zimmerman, representing the Robotics team.

Salvation Army receives anonymous gold coin donation Salvation Army kettles in Mahoning County got a much needed boost with three oneounce gold coins discovered in three of its kettles across the area. The coins: a one-ounce fine gold Canadian Maple Leaf was dropped in a kettle at Canfield Giant Eagle Supermarket, one-ounce fine gold South African Krugerrand, and a oneounce Grant Wood American Arts Commemorative Series coin were dropped in kettles at the East and West entrances of Giant Eagle Supermarket in Austintown, respectively. The coins were donated by an anonymous donor(s) who left no note or information. The coins will be appraised at Ace Diamond & Jewelry Brokers, Inc in Board-

man. Each coin may be worth $1,200-$1,300. The Red Kettle Campaign is the biggest fundraising effort undertaken by The Salvation Army Mahoning County each year. “At a time when our Red Kettle Campaign is running behind by over $40,000 as of Dec. 20, 2016 compared to the same time last year, these gold coins will help us make up some of the fundraising gap we have experienced this season,” said Major Elijah O. Kahn, Mahoning County Area Coordinator. “We are amazed by this incredible generosity, and we want to express our thanks and gratitude to the donor(s) for this generous gift. It will make a huge difference in our ongoing ministry

this Christmas and year round.” The Salvation Army has been serving the neediest citizens in Mahoning County since 1884 providing holistic services that meet the spiritual and practical needs of all. The organization serves thousands of individuals, men, women, children and the elderly with food, clothing, Christmas assistance, toys, utility and rental assistance, emergency aid, social services, youth and recreational programs, seniors programs and men’s and women’s programs. The 2016 Red Kettle Campaign has a goal of $350,000. Funds raised at Christmas are used locally. The red kettle campaign runs through Dec. 24. Donations can be sent to 1501 Glenwood Avenue, Youngstown, OH 44511.

Meals on Wheels decorates Christmas tree for good cause By ALEXIS BARTOLOMUCCI abartolomucci@vindy.com

Mill Creek Park’s Winter Celebration - One Man’s Dream: Celebrating 125 Years of Mill Creek Park started Dec. 3 and will run every Tuesday through Sunday until the end of December. More than 45 non-profit organizations decorated trees at Fellows Riverside Gardens for people to look at as they walk through the building. Meals of Wheels decorated a tree for the first time this year to show their mission and partnership with Subaru’s Share the Love event. Meals on Wheels decorated their tree with photos of drivers and board members of the Mahoning County Branch. The tree was decorated with blue and silver to match Subaru’s theme for the Share the Love event. Meals on Wheels started their planning in October. A children’s car was next to the tree with a giant snowman driving and cans of food in the back seat. Subaru will donate $250 to Meals on Wheels for every Subaru purchased starting Nov. 17 through Jan. 3, 2017. “Our drivers are just outstanding. They’re just really, really nice people,” said Meals on Wheels President Kathy Esseniyi. Fellows Riverside Gardens had around 37,000 people show up to

Austintown Middle School welcomes patriotic mural By ALEXIS BARTOLOMUCCI abartolomucci@vindy.com

The “America’s Story” 100-footlong mural was presented at Austintown Middle School on Dec. 7 for students and the public to come look at. More than 1,600 students had the chance to look at the mural and learn about it during their class time. Founders of the “The Spirit of America’s Story - The Wall,” Ron Smith and Patricia Sexton, talked to the students and told them about the mural. “We talk about all the history, we had 15 minutes today to talk to the students. Not a lot of time to try to talk 240 years of history,” said Smith. Later in the evening, the mural was set up in the choir room and was open for the public to look at

and learn about. Smith and Sexton were both there available for any questions as they talked to the guests about the mural. The 92-inch tall and 100-footlong mural commemorates the lives of America’s service men and women. The hope for when people come to look at the wall is to feel an emotional connection to it. “There’s the last three that we are working on and we are hoping to have it done by March,” said Smith. The mural was designed by artist Raymond Simon. Simon was also at the evening showing of the mural to talk to the guests about his work. Smith draws out the design one panel at a time, paints the canvas and then it becomes digitally expanded to fit the size of the wall. The wall was
