Shark piggy bank decorating at the Austintown library By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Austintown library hosted a crafting event for children in honor of Discovery Channel’s annual Shark Week. Librarian Renee Beverly hosted the shark piggy bank decorating event on July 30 for children ages 8-14.

“They can paint them however they want,” Beverly said. “It’s all about being creative.” For the event, the library purchased 22 ceramic shark piggy banks for community members to decorate. Children were able to choose from a variety of paint colors and paint brush types to use.

Beverly also provided sharpies to add details to the sharks after the paint dried. “It’s the second year we have decided to do something to celebrate Shark Week,” Beverly said. Along with this project, the library hosted a number of other shark themed events throughout the week.

The Austintown and Michael Kusalaba libraries also offered a shark scavenger hunt. Any children who could find all 15 of the sharks hidden around either library would be entered to win a prize. For more information on any upcoming library events, go to www.libraryvisit.org.

This program, which will take place on Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. at the Austintown library, is for children who are ages 4 and 5 to help develop pre-literacy and kindergarten readiness skills. They will use books, stories, rhymes, music, movement and crafts to help your child get ready for kindergarten.

Gotta Move story time Children ages 2-5 who are accompanied by a caregiver can join the Austintown library every Thursday in September at 10 a.m. for a variety of musical and movement activities that appeal to the “young and restless,” stimulate brain development and motivate language learning. Adults and children, get ready to act out stories and rhymes, sing and dance, talk and play.

Mark’s Ark live animal show performs at the Michael Kusalaba library By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Mark’s Ark live animal show performed at the Michael Kusalaba library on July 29. Mark Kohlhorst, the owner and operator of Mark’s Ark, brought eight exotic animals to the library for the performance. “I have had animals my whole life,” Kohlhorst said. “I can’t remember a time that I didn’t have exotics.” During the show, Kohlhorst showed community members a range of animals, including snakes, a chinchilla and even an alligator. He had community members volunteer to assist him in bringing the animals around the room for everyone to see and pet. Kohlhorst also shared facts about each animal throughout the show, including where they are from and what they eat. “The education portion of every show is very important to me,” he said. Kohlhorst has 32 years of experience in handling exotic animals, and has been running Mark’s Ark for 12 years. “I have experience with a lot,” Kohlhorst said. “I deal with all

kinds of animals.” He said he started in the field by managing pet stores, but then attended Ohio State University for Biology and began working in zoos. After graduating, Kohlhorst moved back to his home state of Indiana where he worked in the Fort Wayne Zoo. He worked with venomous snakes and spiders, as well as reptiles and small mammals. Kohlhorst was also a professional diver at the zoo, working in the shark tanks. “I only left the zoo because I got really interest in the education aspect,” Kohlhorst said. It was this interest in education that Kohlhorst said motivated him to start his business. Now he spends his time driving across the country to perform shows. He said he has traveled as far east as New York and as far west as Iowa for performances. Kohlhorst said the majority of the work he does is for birthday parties, but that he will perform for any audience of any size or age.

Creating miniature shark tanks at the Michael Kusalaba library By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Michael Kusa laba libra r y hosted a mini sha rk tank making event on July 30. L ibra r ia n A mel ia Da le hosted the event for children grades K through five. “We a re doi ng a specia l shark themed program because it’s Shark Week,” Dale said. She started the program by teaching children about the different types of sharks.

“There are over 400 types of sharks,” Dale said. “They live to about 30-40 years-old.” Da le ta lked about dif ferent types of sharks, including whale sharks, tiger sharks, g reat wh ites a nd saw a nd hammerhead sharks. Each of these types of sharks had cor respond ing plast ic versions available for children to place in their shark tanks. Based on the information provided by Dale, children selected three sharks to place in their tanks.

“It’s a really easy craft that anyone can do,” Da le said. “It’s a kind of sensory bottle.” C h i ld ren st a r ted w it h a plastic jar that Dale filled with water. She added food coloring to turn the water blue, and then children added the sharks, beads and glitter to the jars. A f ter add i ng ever y t h i ng they wanted to children were able to hot glue the lids closed to prevent them from leaking. “I like to have something everyone can take home,” Dale

said. Along with this event, the library is hosting a number of programs throughout the week to celebrate Shark Week. Both the Michael Kusalaba librar y and the Austintown librar y also hosted a shark sticker scavenger hunt.

about $25,000 during the event. Using this money, Stewart said the organization is able to fund a number of projects for the gardens. “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.
