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.

Poland Union kicks off first day of school

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Poland Local Schools started a new school year on Aug. 22.

Union Elementar y School Principal Mike Masucci said that he was excited to kick off the school year on a high note.

“Even after all these years I still get excited,” Masucci said.

He said that while you can always expect tears during the first day, the school is very prepared for it.

“We have lots of support in place a counselor will be here,” Masucci said. “We have a lot of nurturers that will be floating around that door way when they come in like a deer in headlights. We will be able to direct them to where they need to be.”

For the 2019-20 school year, Masucci said that the school will be making a number of changes to help increase the quality of students education.

A long with continuation of the Bridge Math program the school started previously, the

school will also implement a new comprehensive literacy framework.

“We look at ourselves as the building block, the foundation for literacy in our schools,” Masucci said.

The program will start in kindergarten and be implemented in all years. The program will include three literacy nights exclusively for parents, to inform that on the changes the school has been making.

Later in the year there will be another three literacy nights for students to showcase what they have learned.

“This is the first in a three year goal to change the way that we teach English language arts,” Masucci said.

The school will also be implementing a character building program called Core Essentials.

Masucci said that the school partnered with Chick-fil-A, with the cow visiting the school on Sept. 3 to kick the program off.

“It’s all about behavior and

p o s it i v e r e e n f or c e m e nt ,” Masucci said.

The Chick-f i l-A cow w i l l bring hundreds of free meal coupons to the school in it’s visit, that Masucci said he, along with the teachers, will be able to pass out to students who demonstrate that months character trait.

Youngstown State University Graduate Assistant Tracy Doughty will be working at Poland Union to implement the program.

Dought y w ill be meeting with each classroom for 40 minutes a week, going over the program.

She said that each month outlines a different trait, with an animal who demonstrates it.

“The motto of the program is ‘to treat others right, make smart decisions and maximize your potential,’” Doughty said.

She said the will spend the month of August getting to know students before the first month of the program begins in September with the theme

of Trust.

Trust is symbolized by the sea lion, because the mother sea lions trust each other with t heir young whi le t hey go hunting.

“It’s about putting your confidence in someone you depend on,” Doughty said.

Each month includes crafts and games that help students learn that months concept.

The program also includes quotes, and video and book recommendations for continued education.

“It involves team work and building self confidence and t r ust i n you r classmates,” Doughty said. “It also helps build social and communication skills.”

Masucci said that he has working with the program before during his time at North, where they received the Nat iona l School of t he Yea r award.

“I love that they tie it in with an animal,” Doughty said. “I am very excited to be part of it this year.”

Poland Union prepares kindergartners for start of school

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Poland Union Elementary School prepared for the start of school with it’s annual Kindergarten Orientation on Aug. 19.

P r i ncipa l M i ke Ma succi said that this event was a way for both parents and children to mentally prepare for the big

change of starting school.

“In my eyes, the goal is to reduce or minimize anxiety for both kids and their parents,” Masucci said.

The event started with a meeting of parents and students in the school’s gymnasium.

Incoming k indergartners separated from their parents, breaking into their five separate

classrooms to meet their teachers.

Masucci then addressed the gymnasium full of parents, discussing bussing and how best to reduce stress on the first day of school.

“I encourage all of you to put your child on the bus for the first day,” Masucci said. “Even if you plan to drive them the rest of

the year, it makes the transition on the first day much easier.”

After Masucci’s presentation to parents they were able to join their students in their parents classrooms.

Parents had the opportunity to meet with their students teachers and discuss the students weekly schedule.

“The nice thing is the teachers were working to inform the parents without the kids in the room,” Masucci said. “That way the teacher is telling the parents about the classroom structure.”

While parents talked to the teacher, students toured the school for the first time.

“We are so excited to start a great new year,” said kindergarten teacher Kirsten Jacobs.

Along with orientation, parents were able to take their students to Poland Seminary High School later that day for bussing practice.

The Poland school district set up busses for students to practice getting on and off, as well as get a practice ride around the community.

“It’s all about taking that reduction of stress one step further,” Masucci said.

Poland schools officially started on Aug. 22, with 115 kindergartners starting the new year at Poland Union.

Mill Creek Park hosts monthly Tales for Tots event

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Mill Creek Park hosted the monthly Tales for Tots event on Aug. 16 at Fellows Riverside Gardens.

Naturalist Marilyn Williams hosted the event for children ages 2 and 3.

“Today we are going to learn about ladybugs,” Williams said.

The event took place outside in the pavilion by the rose gar-

dens, where Williams set up five interactive stations for children and their families to work at.

Williams started the event by reading to children about ladybugs.

“We are going to learn that all insects have six legs, that they are actually lady beetles, and that all ladybugs have two sets of wings,” Williams said.

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.

A f t e r e v e r y on e w or k e d 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 w it h t heir parent or guardian.

Williams said that the park also hosts a monthly event for children ages 3-6 called Little Explorers.

MetroParks Farm 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.

Library celebrates end of summer reading with annual author breakfast

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy,com

The Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County hosted the annual Author Breakfast on Aug. 2 celebrating the end of the summer reading program.

Laura Numeroff, author of “If you Give a Mouse a Cookie,” was the guest speaker at the event this year.

“It’s really exciting to see this amount of people who are waiting in the lines to get in and listen to me speak,” Numeroff said.

She said that she hopes to emphasize the importance of reading to the young people gathered at the event, stating that reading as a child makes for a smarter and more curious adult.

“Reading is so important for a variety of reasons,” Numeroff said. “If you want to be a writer, you have to read.”

Numeroff said that she usually speaks to smaller crowds, but does do a lot of traveling across

the country to speak to people about her work.

“It’s the libraries and the schools where I get to meet the people I am writing for,” Numeroff said, stating that she loves writing for third- and fourthgraders.

She said that she hopes that children listening to her speak walk away with one message, never give up.

“My books have all been rejected, many times,” Numeroff said.

“I got rejected last week, success has nothing to do with that.”

Numeroff said that she hopes to inspire young people to pursue their writing dreams by encouraging them to read, and to always keep working towards their goals.

“I had no idea when I got started that there would be this many people waiting who have read my book,” she said.

Programming and Youth Services Director Erin Phemester said that the library has been

Deborah Carpenter and her daughter, Andrea Moss, and two grandchildren, Josiah and Amaris Moss, enjoyed breakfast at Stambaugh Auditorium.

hosting the summer reading breakfast for eight years.

“We wanted to have something to celebrate the success and the work that they [community members] had put into participating in the summer reading program,” Phemester said.

“And we wanted to make sure that the celebration focused on books and authors.”

She said that the event has grown throughout the years, starting with only 250 people in a church in Poland and growing to 600 people in Stambaugh Au-

ditorium with more on the waiting list.

“It’s a party to celebrate our love of reading,” Phemester said.

“We are excited to celebrate the portion of the readers who were able to RSVP but there were several more who participated in the program and we are so proud of all of the people who participated this year.”

Library Communications Director Janet Loew said that 5,409 community members of all ages participated in the program this year.

New to the event this year was the addition of a photo booth that children could use to take photos with a trophy that says “star reader.” Children who attend the event also received a cookie that says star reader, and stickers and yard signs to celebrate their completion of the summer reading program. All community members received a complementary breakfast at the event.

“From age 0-120, we are grateful to support the reading habits of people in this community,” Phemester said.

Community members gathered at Boardman Park on Aug. 4 to attend the Olde Car Club’s annual Cars in the Park show.

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.
