Introduction to Cricut at the Austintown library

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Austintown library hosted an Introduction to Cricut class on March 21.

Librarian Renee Beverly hosted the class for five community members to learn the basics of the Cricut machine and create their own account.

“It’s a lot of fun, there’s a lot to learn,” Beverly said. “If the

desired design is to intricate it’s a great craft tool.”

Community members who attended the class were eligible for the more advanced Cricut class that take place later this year.

Beverly said that the class had a waiting list, but is kept small so everyone can get the chance to see the machine.

“You can do so much with a Cricut and even I am still learn-

ing,” Beverly said.

The Austintown library owns a Cricut Air Two machine that is only for use by librarians. Community members learned on the machine, but would not be able to use it after the event.

At the Michael Kusalaba library however there is a Cricut Maker that is open for public use after community member take the Maker Space class.

“It’s the same concept on

both machines, and the log in information is the same so the class is universal,” Beverly said.

She explained that because there was waiting list for the class she will host another intro to Cricut event before hosting the more advanced course later in the year.

Cub Scout Freeze Out event takes place at On Target Outfitters Austintown Cub Scout Pack 184 had its Freeze Out event on March 9, at On Target Outfitters in Canfield.

Forty-eight scouts and 55 adults participated in this camping event.

During the day program, scouts moved from station to station to practice team-building and learn a variety of out-

door skills including food safety and how to cook over a fire.

During the evening program, scouts were entertained by Outback Ray’s Amazing Animal Show. Scouts learned about several exotic animals and had the opportunity to pet them. The hit of the show was Spongebob, the Albino Burmese Python that is more than 11-feet long. It

took 10 scouts standing in a line to hold the snake. Scouts also watched a movie and camped out in the On Target Outfitters clubhouse.

On Target Outfitters is a youth mentoring ministry that uses outdoor sports like archery, rif lery, fishing, hunting and camping as a way to connect with young people.

Armstrong raises money to match veterans with service dogs

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Armstrong partnered with Guardian Angel Medical Service Dogs to bring service dogs to veterans.

According to Megan Ellashek, the local Community Marketing Manager for Armstrong, the company has been working for two years to raise money to fully fund service dogs for veterans within Armstrong’s coverage area.

Ellashek said that Veterans Cable reached out to Armstrong to join the program, with the goal of financing 22 service dogs.

“It’s 22 because every 22 seconds a veteran commits suicide,” Ellashek said. “So it’s a powerful way to turn that message around.”

To help Veterans Cable reach their goal Armstrong agreed to finance five dogs at $22,000 a dog.

Ellashek said the company committed to paying for half of the dogs, with the other half being raised by employees.

Medina Marketing Manager Sam Pietrsngelo headed up the program, according to Ellashek, working with managers throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Kentucky.

“We reached out to rotaries, we were working with the Boardman Park, we even sold hats and T-shirts to try to raise money for this program,” Ellashek said.

After eight months, the employees raised $55,000, enough to fund their half of the five dogs, but they didn’t stop their.

“We knew we had more time, so we wanted to keep it going, it’s such an important program,” Ellashek said.

After the two year mark, thanks to fundraising and community support, Armstrong employees were able to raise $245,841, doubling their original commitment and funding 11 dogs.

“This is our way of giving back,” Ellashek said. “They served for us and it’s our way of helping them in return.”

Veterans within Armstrong’s coverage area were able to apply for the dogs.

G u a r d i a n A n g e l Me d i cal Service Dogs is based in Florida, a llow ing t he dogs to be t ra i ned yea r rou nd.

Once a veteran is chosen for the program, they travel to Florida, free of charge, to meet with their service dog and see if they bond.

So far six dogs that Armstrong funded have been placed with

veterans, including Harvey, a 48-year-old veteran from Austintown who has PTSD. “We worked really hard to be able to do this, funding as many dogs as we could to help as many people as possible,” Ellashek said.

She explained that the dogs are trained for two years to complete a variety of tasks, including opening doors, turning on lights, alerting their owner to symptoms of their illness and more.

Ellashek said that as a thank Neighbors | Submitted you, Harvey traveled to the Armstrong location in Board- Four veternas traveled to Florida to meet with their trained service dogs.

“They were incredible together,” Ellashek said. “We were so in awe and grateful to see them, it’s such an amazing feeling.”

Donna’s Kitchen Presents: Five dogs are still available through the program, which can be applied for by any local veteran who is interested.

To apply veterans can go at F Fraternal Order of Eagles to www.medicalservicedogs. org/service-dog-application/, 1655 S Raccoon Rd., Austintown, OH which Ellashek said she hopes to see more local veterans do.

“We have received such great support from the local community, and the veterans in this area deserve it, so we want to see them benefit from this as much as possible,” Ellashek said.

A Mill Creek Metro Parks employee pressed a temporary pig tattoo to Magdelena Porter’s hand on March 2 at the park’s Pig Day event.

Mill Creek Park celebrates Pig Day

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Mill Creek MetroParks hosted a Pig Day event March 2 at Metro Park Farm.

Naturalist Brenda Markley organized the event, which was a combination between celebrating pig day and the year of the pig in the Chinese New Year.

“It’s a fun way to let people learn about pigs, as well as have

a good time at the park,” Markley said.

She prepared a number of pig themed games for children to play during the event.

Community members raced to use their “snouts” to push balls into hoops.

The park also offered pig themed bingo and free temporary pig tattoos.

Mill Creek hosts new Crafty Critters winter event

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Mill Creek MetroParks hosted the Crafty Critters event on Feb. 28.

According to naturalist Arika Preas, the program is a new winter event for families to enjoy.

The program has no age range, but Preas said it is geared towards children under 5.

“We don’t have a lot of children’s programs during the colder months, so this is a fun way for people to come out and enjoy the park even when it’s cold,” Preas said.

During the event Preas has a range of

activities for children to try.

Coloring pages depicting orchards were available.

Community members were also able to create a pine cone owl with supplies provided by the park.

“It’s just a fun way to involve younger community members during the slower months at the park,” Preas said.

The event ran from 1-4 p.m. at the library in Fellows Riverside Gardens.

Preas said this will be the last event for this season, but it will likely start again in November.
