Canfield hosts weekly baby brilliant event By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com
Canfield library hosted its weekly Baby Brilliant: Bonding with Babies and Books event for children ages 6-23 months-old. Children’s librarian Amanda Kollar hosted the event for six children and their family members. “We are trying to build early literacy skills through songs and rhymes and stories,” Kollar said. During the event, Kollar gives each parent an outline of the class that includes songs and a literacy tip. “That way they can continue building these skills at home,” Kollar said. Kollar kicked off the event with a couple of songs. Parents sang along with Kollar and helped their children move to the songs. Kollar also read a number of books to children gathered at the event. After 20 minutes of songs and books, Kollar said the group spends 10 minutes playing with toys. “Play helps children learn how to socialize,” Kollar said. Canfield’s Baby Brilliant event is offered every Thursday at 10 a.m. For more information on this or other upcoming library events, go to www.libraryvisit.org.

“We are responsible for the walkways through the gardens and the education center,” Stewart explained. Just last year, Pratt said that the group worked with Fellows Riverside Gardens to erect a second green house on the property.
Stewart said that the need became clear when she found out that the gardeners at the annual plant sale ran out of room to grow. “We went to Andrew and told him about it and we were able to work together to create the extra space that was needed,” she said. The group runs year round and hosts a number of events.
Stewart said that with a group membership community members receive access to members only garden events and a discount at the garden’s gift shop. “It’s a great cause and we really try to make it worth the members money,” Stewart said.

Ursuline Education and Wellness Center announces guided labyrinth walks The Ursuline Education and Wellness Center, located at 4280 Shields Road, recently began its 2019 Guided Labyrinth Walk season. This year’s themes celebrate aspects of compassion, a virtue central to the ministry of St. Angela Merici, who founded the Ursuline order in 1535. All persons of faith are invited to participate in these free, weather-permitting events. Walks generally take 20-30 minutes. The themes by date are Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m. - “Knowledge, recognition and action” and Oct. 13 at 2 p.m. - “Love your enemies.” A presentation on the history of labyrinths precedes this walk. The labyrinth is open year-round from dawn to dusk for all persons of faith. There is no cost to use the labyrinth, which is accessible for different physical abilities and offers ample parking. Printed guides are provided at the labyrinth’s entrance giving suggestions for following the path, but there is no right or wrong way to experience the sacred walk. For more information, call the Ursuline Education and Wellness Center at 330-799-4941 or visit theursulinecenter.org.

Twelve campers attended Mill Creek Park’s Explorers Kitchen Chemist camp, which started on July 15.
CHemIST Continued from Page 10
Children also toured different parts of the park, according to Markley, and learned about the history. “We learned how popcorn popped, we got to see all the animals, they even made homemade cheese,” Markley said. She said that each day the camp kicked off with a craft done by the students. They painted ornaments of farm animals, created pizza themed sand art, and colored pictures. Ma rk le y s a id t h at t he y also read a number of books throughout the week that fit with the theme. Children were also given a notebook to answer questions in and draw in that they got to take home at the end of the week. “We really want to teach them at a young age to appreciate the food they have and to understand where it comes from,” Markley said. The camp concluded on Friday with a pizza party. For more information on park events, go to www.millcreekmetroparks.org.
