Mill Creek clean-up to be April 22 With more than 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 April 22 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 12 p.m. This cleanup takes place rain or shine. In 34 years, more than 11,350 participants have volunteered more than 35,000 hours to clean various areas of the MetroParks. Just in the past 15 years, more than 2,200 bags of trash and 1,000 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 garbage 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. Rural Metro Ambulance will be on-site in case of an emergency. 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 330740-7107 or Mike Kupec, Mill Creek MetroParks Earth Day Cleanup Chairman for the Boy Scouts, at 330-519-3988.

Reading workshop makes learning more exciting By ALEXIS BARTOLOMUCCI abartolomucci@vindy.com

Students in Catherine Curtis’ third-grade class at Robi nwood L a ne E lement a r y worked on their reading skills during their reading workshop on Feb. 22. Curtis does reading workshops three days a week and a writing works shop twice a week. During the reading workshop, the students learn about character traits, precise language, plots and other factors that come in when someone is reading a book. Curtis starts the reading workshop off with a mini lesson by reading part of a book to all of the students at the beginning of the class. After the students discuss different aspects of the book, they break off into their reading groups. Students are broken up into groups based on their reading levels. This gives the students and opportunity to read different books and practice what they learned together, on their own. “It’s a flexible way of teaching reading and the kids are much more excited about it because t hey’re mov ing at their pace,” said Curtis.

comfortable for them. “It’s provides a different way of teaching. It has it’s pros and cons, but I would say as a reading teacher, the pros outweigh the cons,” said Curtis. Students are given the opportunity to work with each other, and with the teacher, to help out one another while learning.

The football team is pictured with their new equipment, which was made possible by a generous grant by the NFL.

Boardman football program receives grant from NFL Prior to last football season, Boardman football was presented with an opportunity from the NFL. In celebration of the 50th Super Bowl, the NFL Foundation sent out gold footballs to commemorate any high school that had an alumni play in a Super Bowl. Boardman was represented by two former alumni, Bernie Kosar and Steve Vallos. Along with receiving the footballs, there was an opportunity to apply for a grant through the NFL Foundation. The grant was called the 2015 Super Bowl High School Honor Roll Grant. Head Football Coach Joe Ignazio was familiar with the NFL Foundation grant process. In 2014, he worked to secure $10,000 for new uniforms. He was able to secure a grant for $5,000 from the NFL Foundation, which matched the donation and generosity of former alumni, current Green Bay Packer Center, Corey Linsley. So, when Cindy Fernback, High School Principal, and Denise Gorski, Athletic Director, shared the information with Ignazio, they got right to work. “By the time we received everything and had time to

look through the information we needed, we had about two weeks to get it completed,” Ignazio said. They decided they would like to replace some of the equipment that had aged in their weight room facility. Most of the equipment had been purchased around 2004. Some had been replaced throughout the years, but there were several items that were in need of replacement. “It was an easy decision for me,” Ignazio added. “Our weight room has been a foundation in which we have built our program dating back to Head Football Coach D.J. Ogilvie. It continued under Mark D’Eramo. Our kids take great pride in the hard work that goes into that room. I wanted to give something nice back to them that they would get use out of everyday.” Once everything was finalized and the application process was completed, the waiting game began. It took a few months, but on June 21, 2016, Ignazio opened a letter from the NFL. It was a congratulatory letter stating that the NFL Foundation had granted Boardman football the amount of $3,000. The grant had to be used in di-

rect correlation with the plan presented to the NFL Foundation for the 2015 Super Bowl High School Honor Roll Grant Program. At the end of August that same year, Boardman football received the check in the mail. Following this football season, Ignazio made the purchase of the new equipment. The equipment included 65 new stretch bands, seven new weight lifting bars, two Hex Bars, 12 medicine balls and two compact dragging sleds. After receiving the equipment, Boardman football was required to fill out a grant report with all of the checks, receipts and evidence of any media coverage they received as a result of this grant. Boardman football is extremely thankful to the NFL Foundation for this opportunity. “I am thankful for the help of Principal Fernback and our Athletic Director Denise Gorski,” Ignazio said. “It has been quite rewarding to have the opportunity to have secured $13,000 for things that our program has needed and that our kids deserve over the past three years.”

There will be umpire training for anyone interested in becoming an umpire for Boardman Community Baseball on March 19 at the Fields of Dreams Meeting Room from 6-7:30 p.m. Tony Tarantino and Dave Matz will be the instructors. Umpires must be ages 14 and up for 10U, 12U, 14U baseball or softball. There will be six training sessions, umpires must attend four sessions to qualify to umpire at BCB. All paperwork and instructions will be given at the first meeting. Contact Tony Tarantino at tsquare333@aol.com for information. There is no charge for these sessions.
