Santa supper helps families celebrate holiday

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Boardman Park hosted their 15th annual Supper with Santa event at the Lariccia Family Community Center.

Karen McCallum, the recreation director of the park, organized the event.

“It’s a holiday tradition for many families,” McCallum said.

“It’s just another reason for the season.”

The event was two nights with preregistration required.

Both nights saw a turn-out of around 100 people, which meant about 30 families, with both

nights selling out.

“We had a couple of families here last night that this is what they do every year. It’s just a fun celebration of the season,” McCallum said.

Santa Claus made an appearance at the event, with a professional photographer available to take photos.

Children were also able to do a variety of arts and crafts projects all supplies provided by the park.

McCallum said that volunteers from Boardman Park’s Emerging Leaders group helped during the event. Students such as Emily Maroni and Jessica Winsen were present, helping children and

their families with crafts.

“It’s cute and we have a lot of fun,” Winsen said.

Along with crafts, there was a fake snow area for children to play in, as well as a reading station full of holiday books.

Children were also able to write their letters to Santa while he was present at the event.

“It’s a lot of fun to see their faces and how hard they work on their letters,” McCallum said.

New this year, Armstrong provided free light up antlers for children who attended the event with their families.

Supper was cooked by McCallum, which families could enjoy

while they watched the movie “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” McCallum prepared her famous homemade macaroni and cheese for the event, along with chicken nuggets and a variety of other food and desserts.

“They enjoy the homemade mac and cheese, I get that all of the time,” McCallum said.

“That’s why my mac and cheese is known.”

McCallum said that while coming to and leaving from the event families were able to enjoy the park’s holiday light display.

The lights, which are synced to music, will be on display until Jan. 6.

Blood drive There will be a blood drive by the Mahoning Chapter of the American Red Cross at the Boardman library on Jan. 12 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Kindergarten readiness stations Kindergarten readiness stations are in every Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County library branch and feature fun activities for you and your preschool child to complete together. For the month of January, the stations focus on social and emotional development, which is about learning how to manage feelings, manage friendships and solve problems. Before kindergarten, children should be able to recognize and identify their own emotions and the emotions of others. They should also be able to communicate a range of emotions in socially accepted ways. The kindergarten readiness stations offer fun activities to build these skills. Working on these skills now will help children be successful in their interactions with teachers and classmates when they get to school. Stop by any branch to try out our new kindergarten readiness stations and help your child build these important skills.

The Ford Nature center, which opened to the public in 1972, will recieve a $3 million renovation to its building starting around spring 2019.

Mill Creek Park plans renovations for Ford Nature Center

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Mill Creek Park aimed to collect the money needed to renovate the Ford Nature Center on Giving Tuesday on Nov. 27.

Chris Litton, the director of development, said that the center hasn’t received serious renovations for 25 years.

“The renovations are much needed,” Litton said.

To help them reach this goal, the park received a matching

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

grant from the Sand Hill Foundation in California.

Litton said Sand Hill would match every dollar raised by the park up to $1 million to benefit the center.

“We have never really done this before,” Litton said. “This is a first for us.”

The park was able to raise $7,423 on Tuesday which will be matched by the grant to total $14,846.

Litton said the largest donation of $5,000, came from Thomas and Katherine Shipka.

“We are very grateful to the Shipka’s for their generous and continued support of the Mill Creek MetroParks Foundation,” Litton said.

The Ford Nature Center opened in 1972 and is the epicenter of education programs for the park.

Currently housed in the center are the Habitat Room, the Discovery Room and a Live Animal Room.

Children are able to travel to the center to learn about local animals, their habitats and other aspects of the nature in the park.

The center also houses a teachers’ resource center, which has a range of books, videos and other materials for local teachers to use in their class rooms.

The center offers a variety of programs for school age children throughout the year, marking it as one of the most utilized buildings in the Mill Creek Park.

Litton said construction on the center will likely begin in Spring 2019.

“It’s an important building and it needs the renovations,” Litton said.

Fellows Riverside Garden hosts annual winter celebration

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Mill Creek MetroParks are celebrating Fellow Riverside Garden’s 60th anniversary during their annual Winter Celebration.

This year’s celebration has a “Frozen in Time” theme to celebrate the diamond anniversary of the facility.

Jaime Yohman, the park’s Community Engagement Director, said that annually non-profit organizations purchase 60 trees spread throughout the facility to decorate during the event.

“It’s a community event, and we have a large response from the community throughout the month of December,” Yohman said.

Along with the annual tree

walk to celebrate the anniversary, the committee created a memory wall.

“We reached out to the community and asked for any pictures of the gardens throughout the years,” said Sharmon Lesnak, the head volunteer for the event.

Lesnak, along with Pam Nock and Debbie Walker, organized the event and coordinated the volunteers.

“We really want to thank the volunteers. They’re great and this would not be possible without them,” Lesnak said.

The planning for the event begins in early June when the committee starts organizing work shop days. During the workshops, Lesnak said they hand-make ornaments to use during the month of December

to decorate the gardens. This year, Lesnak and other committee members used plastic bottles and permanent markers to hand make ornaments for the event.

All supplies were donated by community members and created by volunteers.

“It’s a huge undertaking every year,” Yohman said. “But Sharmon is very creative and we always have a beautiful turn out.”

The event will also feature characters from Disney’s “Frozen” to fit the theme.

Sister’s Anna and Elsa will make an appearance on Saturdays during December for children and their families to enjoy.

“It’s really a big community event,” Lesnak said. “We always try to have something for the kids to enjoy.”

Along with the tree walk and the visits from Disney characters, the event will feature a number of musicians to entertain community members. The community is also invited to bring a donation of non perishable food that the park will give to the Second Harvest food bank at the end of the event. Kravitz Deli will also offer food specials throughout December at their Garden Cafe.

“Community members can

come in, see the lights and have a nice meal at the cafe,” Yohman said. “It’s really a great event everyone seems to have fun.”

Frozen in Time w ill run through Dec. 30 at Fellows Riverside Garden, with the garden staying open till 7 p.m. on Saturdays to accommodate guests.

“We really owe so much of this to the lovely volunteers,” Lesnak said. “Without them none of this would be possible.”

Since November 1966, the bell tower at Boardman United Methodist Church has stood tall at the corner of Market Street and Buena Vista Avenue. Recently, Boardman residents and members of BUMC saw the bell tower lit up at night for the first time in more than 25 years. Restoration of the electrical wiring was completed just in time for the holiday season. The bell tower stretches 75 feet tall and weighs more than 7,000 pounds. The 23 bell system was dedicated in 1999 by the families and friends of Alma Deane Crewson and Clarence Roman Smith III. Reverend Jerry Krueger and the members of BUMC invite the community to view the tower during one of their Christmas Eve services, which will take place on Dec. 24 at 4 p.m., 6:30 p.m. or 10:30 p.m.

Ben Furtaw tested the plan he created with Michael Flores for the gingerbread to cross the river without getting wet during a STEM Friday event.

Students explore science

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Boardman Stadium Drive Elementary School explore science concepts STEM Friday’s.

First-grade teacher Missy Struharik brings students to the Chengelis Science Lab at the school every week for the projects.

“STEM Friday’s is an opportunity for time to explore and fail on our own creating an incredible learning process in room 102 at Stadium Drive,” Struharik said.

Struharik said that each week students are given a new activity to design. Often the activities include a mixture of literacy and STEM. On Nov. 30, students worked on an activity where they read “The Gingerbread Man” and had to design a way to get the gingerbread across the river.

Struharik said that students each week break into teams and come up with a unique plan to find a solution to the problem.

“Students are given time to think freely and consider options as designing a solution,” Struharik said. “Students consider how to make adjustments if encountering a problem.”

After the plan is cemented, students work to create their solution.

“Hands-on materials are provided in order for a model to test how the Gingerbread will cross the river without getting wet,” Struharik said.

During this process Sturharik said she will begin to ask students why they believe that is the best design.

“Creating the plan also gives the student a learning opportunity independently or as a team in the design process,” she said.

Struharik said that as the facilitator she will incorporate math concepts with shapes and quantities into her questions.

After students create their design they test their projects.

“Students test the design, asking what’s the goal and does it work,” Struharik said.

She said that student explain their solution, reflect on their choices and make adjustments as needed.

“Students know its okay to fail,” Struharik said. “We celebrate our ‘opps’ it gives us an opportunity to make something beautiful.”

Each week the class adds another STEM kit, but students are able to work independently on previous STEM kits during centers.

“It’s an amazing hands on learning process and an opportunity to work with classmates coming up with solutions,” Struharik said.
