‘Boom Boom’ Mancini visits the Inn at Poland Way

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, the retired professional boxer and former WBA lightweight title holder, spoke at the Inn at Poland Way Retirement community on Oct. 16.

Mancini was a professional boxer from 1979-1992 and is a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

During the lecture Mancini talked about his career as a box-

er, and how he always knew he wanted to be a champion.

“Growing up I wanted to be a fighter,” he said. “Other kids were like I want to be a fireman or a police officer, not me.”

He talked about what it was like growing up in Youngstown, and the pull in the community to grow up, get a good job and get married.

“I saw my dad get up and go to work every day, you see all the ‘mill rats’, and I knew I didn’t want that,” Mancini said.

He explained that it was through his positive visualization, and his ability to “dream big” that he pursued a career in boxing. During the talk Mancici discussed his decision to retire from boxing at 25, stating that he was able to do what he wanted, to become a champion, and walk away without serious physical harm. He said he still gets an MRI every year, and keeps a close eye on his health because of his boxing injuries.

“It’s all about staying healthy

now, you have to eat right, focus on portion control, and stay fit,” Mancici said.

He said yoga, along with light exercise and shadow boxing are what he uses to stay fit.

During his talk, Mancini also discussed moving back to Youngstown in 2014 from Santa Monica, where he lived for more than 30 years.

Poland Union prepares for annual Holiday Shoppe

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Poland Union Elementary School is preparing to kick off its biggest PTO fundraiser the annual Holiday Shoppe scheduled for Nov. 3.

This is the 15th year that the Holiday Shoppe has been hosted by Union’s PTO and is one of the largest craft shows in the area.

“It has become an enormous undertaking,” said Union Principal Mike Masucci. “Bless the PTO moms, both past and present, who take this on because it is a full time 11-month job.”

During the event, 90 tables are set up in Poland Seminary Hig h School’s g y m nasiu m where vendors pay a flat $50 fee to set up for eight hours and sell their products.

A range of vendors will be available during the event according to Masucci, who said the PTO makes an effort to keep the vendors spread out and diverse.

“Our committee does a nice job of doing the best they can to

be sure we don’t have two tables next to each other selling the same thing,” Masucci said.

Along with vendors, the PTO at Poland Union will also hold a huge bake sale throughout the day.

“It probably rivals the typical Youngstown wedding with the cookie table its that big,” Masucci said.

He said that the PTO has an entire committee dedicated to packaging the donated goods, and that many people attend the event solely for the bake sale.

The event also features basket raffles, many of which are items donated by vendors at the show.

Each homeroom class at Poland Union also puts together a classroom basket with different themes.

Masucci said that each student is encouraged to bring something in for the basket for $5 or less that fits the theme.

PTO volunteers then spend time packaging the baskets to be raffled.

“We do put them on display in

front of the kids the week before and they get the first chance to buy tickets and put them in the basket to win,” Masucci said.

During the event the PTO will also host a 50/50 raffle and have concessions for sale.

“Last years 50/50 winner took home over $1,300,” Masucci said.

The main attraction, according to Masucci, is the Family Fun Pack, which is a large, usually expensive group of items.

This year the basket will feature 10 one-day Disney World park hopper passes as well as a variety of other prizes, which in the past have featured Cleveland Indian’s tickets, vouchers for different classes and even sets of patio furniture.

“We have given away four wheelers and motorized cars,” Masucci said. “We buy something huge and we bundle it with a bunch of other things that are huge in their own way.”

Masucci said that the PTO typically averages a profit of $1,600-$1,700 that is then used to reinvest in the students.

“All the things the PTO puts

love being home.”

He explained that he made the decision to move back because of a business opportunity in the entertainment industry, which Mancini has been working in since the end of his boxing career.

“I lived in Sanata Monica for longer than I ever lived any where else, but it never felt like home,” he said.

He discussed the growth of downtown Youngstown and how the entertainment industry has rapidly increased in the area.

He also talked about Mill Creek Park and the arts department at Youngstown State University, things he said he never appreciated when he was younger.

“These are the things you take for granted,” Mancini said.

At the end of his talk Mancini took questions from the resiNeighbors | Jessica Harker dents.

He said that the event will draw thousands of people locally, and will run from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.

“This event goes on all day long and without volunteers it

There are 43 members of the PTO at Union Elementary who volunteer for the event.

“It’s really a true blessing to have so much help in our school and in our school community,” Masucci said.

Learning to dance at the Metro Parks

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Mill Creek MetroParks recently began offering weekly Swing and Salsa dance classes at Pioneer Pavilion.

The classes, which are $6 to attend each, are run by Lynda McPhail, a DVIDA certified instructor. McPhail owns A Time

To Dance studio in Niles and also teaches classes at Avon Oaks ball room in Girard.

“I have ever y t hing f rom scared-to-death-never-tried-itbefore to some of my intermediate to experienced level dancers,” McPhail said.

The classes run once a week every Tuesday through September and October.

The Swing and Salsa dance classes will run for five weeks, and then the type of dance will change.

McPhail said that new students are welcome each week, and the class always reviews basic steps before learning something new which is good See DANCE, Page 7

“I do what I do with any beginner class,” McPhail said. “If someone misses a week, its fine.

The only thing that’s consistent is that we review every week.”

She said that there is a range of students who attend, including people as young as 13 and as old at 85 and with a variety of physical abilities.

T h i s i s t he fou r t h yea r

McPhail has been teaching dance classes in the park.

“We believe dancing should be affordable to everybody,” McPhail said. “The people who would be most benefit from dancing they are often the ones who can’t afford to go sign a contract and spend thousands.”

McPhail said that historical dance has been a very popular past time in the area.

“Dance in Youngstown has always been a popular social outlet,” McPhail said. “You cant

go to Columbus and find as much dance as we have in this area.”

She said that the social, health and mental benefits of dance are so important they should be available to anyone.

“This class is beneficial to new people who are just getting started and aren’t sure if they are going to like it,” McPhail said.

“A lot of people don’t know that potatoes grow in different sizes and different colors,” Mar-

kley said during the event.

The event was offered, according to Markley, as a way for students who have not started school yet to socialize. It also provides socialization for parents and grandparents of young children to meet other people with children of the same age.
