Mill Creek has Christmas event at Lanterman’s Mill

By ZACK SHIVELY zshively@vindy.com

Mill Creek Metroparks hosted its annual Olde Fashioned Christmas event at Lanterman’s Mill on Nov. 25 and 26.

Carol Vigorito organized the event. She brought entertainers, artisans and catering to Lanterman’s Mill. She placed the entertainers and artisans throughout the top, ground and basement floors of the mill. The public could go to the bottom of the mill to see rocks and the Mill’s wheel as well.

The day allowed families to explore the mill since each area of the mill was open. Each floor and notable area had a placard explaining its significance. The ground floor also had an area detailing the history of the mill as well as the gift shop for the public.

Artisans gave live demonstrations all day inside the mill.

These events included woodcarving, rock painting, weaving, leatherwork, pottery and tinsmithing.

Mill Creek Metroparks gave craft makers their own stations.

Crafters brought soaps, signs, iron designs, birdhouses made of repurposed materials, paper ornaments and gourds.

The event also had two local photographers, Scott Lanz of Lanzscapes and Bob Barko Jr. of Steel Town Studios. Both photographers take pictures throughout Youngstown and the park.

The park hung wreaths on the outside of the mill for the Christmas season. During the event, they set up a place for children to talk to Santa. Outside, they had a “giving tree“ from the Mahoning County Educational Service Center. Families placed gloves and hats on the tree and the MCESC gave the items to children in need. Pioneer Trails Tree Farm donated the tree.

The park invited musicians and musical groups to play throughout the two days, including One String Short, Tytely Wounde String Band, Harper Kirk, Jon Mosey and a low brass

ensemble. They also had family entertainer Joe Sullivan, who does balloon art and sometimes performs as Jocko the Clown, and Howard Mincone, a juggler and comedian.

Vigorito said she was very thankful to have such helpful volunteers and staff members.

She had about 60 people who assisted in making the event, with more than 10 volunteers and staff each day for six days.

The event began as a small craft show in the 80s and became the “Olde Fashioned

Christmas” in the early 90s. The event has become very popular, with vehicles filling both parking lots for the mill and others parked along the street. Their record attendance was between five and six thousand people.

Vigorito said she hopes to meet that benchmark each year.

Lanterman’s Mill closed after the Christmas celebration this year. The mill will be receiving updates to its wheel and surrounding structure throughout the building until reopening in April.

Austintown Rotary welcomed speakers Lynn Mickey and Jennifer Cicarelli, pictured with Christine Vlosich and Rotary President Bruce Laraway.

Rotary teams up with Falcon Outreach to help needy Austintown families Members of the Austintown Rotary welcomed guests Lynn Mickey and Jennifer Cicarelli, representing the PTA organizations of the Austintown school district, to discuss the Falcon Outreach program.

Falcon Outreach focuses on helping needy district families during the holiday season by utilizing creative and traditional fundraising methods to raise monies that are in turn donated to those families via food and gift vouchers.

Last year, the program was able to distribute more than $10,000 worth of Aldi’s gift certificates to more than 100 Austintown families. This year,

they are considering expanding to other vendors, so that families might utilize the funds to also purchase gifts.

The Austintown Rotary presented a check for $1,500 to the cause.

Rotarians also inducted a new member at this meeting.

Deborah Caggiano, owner of The Class Room, is the newest member, noticing the many worthy projects and fellowship that comes from membership in the world wide organization. Caggiano is sponsored by Christine Vlasich, and looks forward to being involved in her home community.

The International Peace Light arrived at JFK International Airport in New York City on Nov. 25. The Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts will soon be distributing the light throughout the community in this area.

Local store and scout camp to host the 2017 International Peace Light With the arrival of the International Peace Light on Nov. 25 at the JFK International Airport in New York City, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts along with hundreds of volunteers will be busy distributing the Peace Light flame to churches and their families and friends all across the United States and Canada.

Once again this year, the JMJ Spiritual Connections store, located at 3408 Canfield Road in Youngstown, will be hosting the International Peace Light for distribution to the public and churches. Distribution will be during their normal business hours Monday through Thursday, from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., beginning on Dec. 1 at 5:30 p.m. with the arrival of the International Peace Light and ceremony by members of Cub Scout Pack 22 and Boy scout Troop 22 from St. Christine Parish. The International Peace Light flame will be available through Christmas Eve. People of all faiths are welcome to receive the light and a wish for peace. Candles or lanterns are good tools to take home the light, but are not provided. It is suggested to have two people in a vehicle when traveling with the Peace Light. Supplies are on hand and can be purchased at the store for the safe transport of the flame.

On Dec. 2, the International

Peace Light will arrive at the Boy Scout Shop at Camp Stambaugh, located at 3712 Leffingwell Road in Canfield. The International Peace Light ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m. by Scouts to transfer the Peace Light flame to the Scout Shop. The International Peace Light will be available to everyone during limited hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. through Dec. 21.

The Peace Light from Bethlehem campaign was originally organized by the Austrian Broadcasting Company - ORF (Linzz), and was part of a large charitable relief mission, “Light into Darkness” for children in need in Austria and abroad. Since 1986, the Peace Light Flame is delivered by a young Austrian child to the Austrian Airlines where it is placed in two blast proof miners lamps and flown from Tel Aviv, Israel to Vienna, Austria.

The Austrian Boy Scouts and Girl Guides have been distributing the Peace Light throughout Austria and with a great deal of cooperation between Scouts and Guides in many countries, the light has traveled from Vienna to more than 20 European Countries.

Austrian Airlines has been flying the Peace Light on to New York City since 2001. It arrived at JFK international airport on Nov. 25 and has traveled from there as far north as Winnipeg, Ontario,

Canada and as far west as Los Angeles, California through the efforts of many Scouters and volunteers.

T h i s y e a r ’s s p on s or i n the United States is the Brooklyn and Queens Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting. They have provided for its distribution throughout North America, including Canada and Mexico. All Peace Lights originated from this American location as couriers deliver the Peace Light to various locations on the continent.

For the sixth consecutive year, the Boy Scouts of America is bringing the Peace Light Flame to Northeast Ohio and Scouts, Scouters and friends have accepted the challenge to become channels of peace by receiving the flame and passing it on to others in their communities and beyond.

In past years many groups and people have taken the Peace Light back to their churches and homes to deliver a message of peace. John Schlobohm, Assistant Scout Executive of the Great Trail Council, commented that “People appreciate the opportunity of spreading the message of Peace in their communities, this is why we are a part of this effort.”

For cur rent infor mat ion about its travel across North America, check out the Facebook page, “Peace Light - North America” or the website www. peacelight.org.

Children made two crafts at the Austintown libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halloween Family Story Time.â&#x20AC;? They made mummies by gluing tissue paper to a cut out. They also received treat bag that they decorated with stickers and drew on with crayons.

Trick-or-treating, stories and more at the Austintown library

By ZACK SHIVELY zshively@vindy.com

The Austintown library hosted a Halloween Family Story Time on Oct. 24, which included stories, costumes, games, crafts and treats.

Nikki Puhalla organized the event. She began by reading the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Batâ&#x20AC;&#x153;

by Lucille Colandro and â&#x20AC;&#x153;What am I? Halloweenâ&#x20AC;&#x153; by Anne Margaret Lewis. She involved the children in the story telling.

After story time, she gave the children the option to go to any of the other stations throughout the room. She had placed a number of Halloween-related books on a table near the front of the room. She had a jar of

candy corn on that same table. The children guessed how many pieces the jar contained and the winner got to keep the jar of candy.

Puhalla set up two games on both sides of the room. One side had â&#x20AC;&#x153;spider cornhole,â&#x20AC;? a game where the children tossed beanbags onto a board and in a hole. The other side had â&#x20AC;&#x153;ghost knockdown,â&#x20AC;? where the children tossed beanbags at ten cups stacked in a pyramid in order to knock them over.

She also had tables for two crafts. The children made a mummy by gluing white tissue paper onto a human figure cut out. They also used stickers and crayons to decorate treat bags provided by the library.

At the end of the event, the children lined up and trick-ortreated through the library. The librarians at the desk in the center of the library and at the front desk had treat bags that they handed to the children.

Austintown Fitch High School had a Senior Dinner on Oct. 23. Pictured is principal Chris Berni handing salads to the seniors.

Austintown schools spend night helping senior citizens

by ZACK SHIVELY zshively@vindy.com

Austintown schools had the annual Senior Dinner at the Austintown Fitch High School cafeteria on Oct. 25.

Approximately 350 senior citizens gathered for a meal offered by the school. The event had 20 student volunteers and another 20 volunteers from the administration and education board.

Principal Chris Berni said the event gave the school a chance to give back to the senior citizens of Austintown and make them feel a part of the community and school.

Those at the dinner received a salad, Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, vegetables and a chocolate dessert. They also received drinks of water, tea, coffee and

lemonade. All drinks and food were passed out by the volunteers. After the senior citizens finished eating, the volunteers came by and threw away their food.

The school hosts a senior dinner twice a year. The event has happened for more than 20 years at the school. A school group performs at every senior dinner. In the past, they have had the drama club do a skit or had a member of the speech team recite speak at the event.

For this event, the band and show choir performed.

All four principals of the high school volunteered, as did the three middle school principals.

Lanterman’s Mill hosts family bash

By ZACK SHIVELY zshively@vindy.com

M i l l C re ek Met ropa rk s threw a Halloween party for families inside Lanterman’s Mill on Oct. 21.

Carol Vigorito, Recreation and Education Director with the Metroparks, organized the “Family Halloween Bash at the Old Mill“ event. She had something to do on all three levels of the mill.

“We wanted to have a safe,

fun family event,“ said Vigorito, who continued to say that the mill gave them a “phenomenal place” to have the party.

In the basement, children played games like ring toss and a ball bounce game. The games had a Halloween theme, so the ring toss was a spider ring toss.

Families could also decorate and take home small pumpkins provided by the park.

The park provided toilet paper for parents to wrap their children in to make them look like mummies on the top floor of Lanterman’s Mill during their Family Halloween Bash at the Old Mill.

OLD MILL Continued from Page 8

The ground floor had snacks and drinks for the families. The park placed out apples, carrots, cookies, chips and punch.

They also had two guessing games where children guessed the weight of a large pumpkin and how many pieces of candy were in a jar.

The top f loor included the main party. They had a DJ, limbo, dance party and competitions. The competitions were a costume contest and mummy wrap up contest where families competed to quickly wrap their children in toilet paper.

They also had a searching competition where the children searched on each f loor to find cut outs of black cats placed throughout the mill by the park staff. The children tallied the number of cut outs and handed their answers to the staff.

The park has thrown the Family Halloween Bash at the Old Mill for four consecutive years. The event brought in 30 people the first year, but it has grown in popularity as it brought in 200 people this year.

They gathered seven staff members and ten volunteers to help run the event.
