Neighbors team says ‘farewell’ By NATALIE WRIGHT Neighbors Editor

I have put off writing this column for as long as I can. Until the very last second, it appears. This newspaper that you are holding in your hands right now (or perhaps looking at on your phone, tablet or computer screen) is our last edition of Neighbors. The Vindicator, our parent company and publisher, is closing its doors today and we along with it. A myriad of articles have been printed about The Vindicator since the announcement was made at the end of June, and I think we all know how hard Betty H. Brown Jagnow and her son, Mark Brown, tried to save their newspaper and its 150-year history. I thank them so much for that effort, and for all the opportunities they gave me during my six years as your Neighbors editor and the additional year I spent as its reporter when I was just a kid, fresh out of college. I am forever changed for the better by my time spent here. So it is with a grateful heart that I turn my attention to you, dear readers. It has been a privilege to be a part of your lives these past seven years. To share special moments with your families, from engagement and wedding an-

nouncements to proms, athletic events, first days of school and library activities. I have gotten to cheer on your successes and see your communities grow, and that has meant the world to me. Thank you to the countless principals, teachers, parents, grandparents, librarians, caregivers, Scouts, communit y leaders and more for being so welcoming at events and always being willing to take time to give us a quote. We have been lucky enough to forge real connections with many of you. Keep going good work in your communities. Thank you to Jessica Harker, my longest-serving Neighbors reporter, for all her hard work, innumerable laughs and compelling coverage. My thanks also to Abby Slanker, our steadfast Canfield writer, for her years of dedication and diligence. It has been my pleasure to call you both coworkers and friends. And to all the other wonderful people who have been part of my team and helped me bring Neighbors to our readers every week, I will always be grateful for your support. Thank you and farewell, dear readers. We couldn’t have done this without you. I hope we have served you well.

Boys basketball program thanks community with cookout By ABBY SLANKER neighbors@vindy.com

The Canfield Boys Basketball Boosters hosted its third annual Canfield Basketball Community Cookout on Aug. 20. The free event took place at the Canfield High School outdoor basketball courts and featured the CHS boys basketball players. According to Boys Varsity Basketball Head Coach Todd Muckleroy, the event gives the basketball program a chance to thank the community for all their support in an informal setting. “The concept of our community cookout is that it is informal and people can come and eat and talk to each other. We have our basketball schedules available for everyone and registration for our other programs for our younger kids. This event kind of puts an end cap on our summer and our team members can show their faces to the community and talk to them in this informal setting,” Muckleroy said. Along with the boys basketball players in grades 9-12, many younger players were on hand. “This also gives our players a chance to interact with the younger players here tonight. That’s what it’s all about,” Muckleroy said. The Canfield High School boys basketball cheerleaders were also on hand to pump up the crowd. Many athletes from other sports programs turned out to support the basketball team. The evening featured a half court shooting challenge and a few friendly games between the basketball players. Information about the upcoming 201920 basketball season and events that will be occurring during the season was provided for those interested in learning more. Members of the boosters sold the 2019-20 season sweatshirts and T-shirts during the event as well. Attendees could also play corn hole while enjoying a dinner of burgers, chips and cookies, provided by Fusco Grill and Go. Kona Ice was provided, courtesy of the Boys Basketball Boosters.

She brought a ladybug pupa and a jar of aphids, which are smaller bugs that ladybugs eat, to show the children gathered at the event. Families were then able to work through the stations. They were able to match the number of spots on ladybugs, organize photos of the beetles life cycle and work on other ladybug themed activities.

After everyone worked through the stations Williams organized a nature walk to search for ladybugs. “We like to encourage people to come out to the park,” Williams said. “A hike is always included so we get to just enjoy being outside.” Six children attended the event with their parent or guardian.

Metro Park hosts first Nature Live event By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Mill Creek Park hosted their first Nature Live event on Aug. 4 at the MetroParks Farms. Education Manager Mandy Smith organized the event with the rest of the education team. “We as a group decided to kind of combine forces and make it a little bit more nature oriented instead of just one animal or group of animals,” Smith said. She explained that the event was usually a bug or reptile day, but that the parks decided to combine all of the events into one that focused on a wider range of animals. Smith said that at the event a number of organizations were present to showcase their animals. Bee keeper Don Kovach, Birds of Flight, representatives from the South Side Butterfly event, and Keith Gisser with Herpes Alive were all present at the event. “We are just promoting education, conservation of nature, awareness and appreciation,” Smith said. “It’s just a day to come out and enjoy.” The event featured a number of actives for children of all ages. Smith said that there was a room dedicated to Pre-K children being able to play and explore different types of animals. The event also featured a touch table where community members can feel different types of fur and animal skulls. A number of reptiles were available for children to hold, and there was even a honey tasting table. “Anyone can come in,” Smith said. “We just want everyone to come and learn something and enjoy the farm.” As they entered children received an activity card. Smith said that if they completed five of the eight available activities and mark them on the card they receive a naturalist diploma to take home. The barns at the MetroParks Farms were also open for community members to explore on their visit. For more information on upcoming park events, go to www. millcreekmetropark.org.

Mark’s Ark live animal show performs at the 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 educa-

tion 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. For more information on Kohlhorst or his show, go to his website at www.marksanimals. com.

The next meeting will take place on Sept. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Canfield library. Join them for monthly discussions of riveting nonfiction titles. The book selection for September is “The Looming Tower” by Lawrence Wright. This event is for adults.

Mahoning Valley Olde Car Club hosts annual fundraiser By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Olde Car Club of Mahoning County hosted it’s annual 41st Cars in the Park fundraiser on Aug. 4. This year, the show raised money for Harper Foley, a local 5-year-old with Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy. Publicity Director Fred Ross said that the club has raised about $100,000 throughout the last several years for community members in need. “This show has helped a lot of people in the community,” Ross said. Harper’s mom, Jade Foley, said that the club reached out to her about sponsoring the event in Harper’s name.

“They said they wanted to do something to help,” Foley said. “We were very grateful for the support from the community.” Harper was born with Dravet Syndrome, having suffered from her first seizure before she was 4-months-old. “It’s really wonderful and amazing,” Foley said. “The community support is really great.” Ross said that the organization was able to raise at least $35,000 last year when they sponsored Nora Sabella, a child from Poland with Neuroblastoma cancer. “We do a lot through out the year to try to raise money for the community,” Ross said. “But when we host the show we always raise more.”

The show hosted more than 400 cars this year, in a variety of categories including street rods, sports cars, antiques, newer cars, trucks and more. “There is almost no car we wouldn’t be willing to accept,” Ross said. The show also hosts a 50/50 raffle and a baked goods sale. Member Kris Caiazza said that the bake sale is a staple of the car show, with members selling more than 50 types of treats throughout the day. “We have always had the bake sale,” Caiazza said. “Some are homemade and some are store bought but all of them are really good.” She said that this year was special because the aunt and

grandmother of the sponsor, Harper Foley, volunteered to bake and help run the bake sale throughout the day. “It’s really special and so nice to have them here with us,” Caiazza said. New to the show this year the club also sponsored a kids corner, where children can get their face painted as well as receive a free coloring book, crayons and a cook that are all car themed. Ross said about a dozen vendors will also be selling their wares during the show. “It’s a tradition with the group and it really brings everyone together,” Ross said. For more information on the club or donate to any of their causes, call 330-482-4415.

Mah-Jongg Mondays Practice your new skill to rattle the tiles from 1-3 p.m. on Sept. 3, 9, 16, 23 and 30 at the Canfield library and join the fun. Bring your own Mah-Jongg set or share with a friend. (Mah-Jongg sets not provided). This event is for adults.
