Then Labrae knocked the ball out of bounds and Girard’s Coach Saxon called a time out to set up an inbound play.

READING THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT Suggested study materials: A New Testament, a Bible Dictionary, a map of the Holy Land, and a journal for notes MONDAY read John chapter 21: When some of the disciples went fishing but caught no fish a man on the shore told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat, and they hauled 153 fish to shore. The man was the resurrected Lord Jesus who grilled and served breakfast to them. Three times Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love me," and told him to "Feed my lambs, take care of my sheep, feed my sheep," and prophesied Peter's death. John outlived all of the 12 in the inner circle. Christians are born again as lambs, grow to sheep, and mature on the word of God. We progress to Paul's letter to the church, which he founded on his second missionary journey to Thessalonica. In response to Timothy's accounting of his trip to visit the church plants, Paul penned this personal letter to commend the faithful Christians and to emphasize the future hope of the second coming of Christ. TUESDAY read chapter 1 of 1 Thessalonians, 49-54 AD: The Christians did as they were taught and allowed the Holy Spirit to lead them daily to inspire others in God’s way. Can the same be said of you? Do you have the power and love this early church had? WEDNESDAY read chapter 2: Paul lovingly reviews the trials and challenges of ministering to these believers in establishing this church. He was grateful and thankful for God's provision and protection to this thriving group of workers for the presentation of the gospel. THURSDAY read chapter 3: Paul, Silas, Timothy, and others planted churches and followed up to encourage and fellowship with those Christian converts. To this very day, over 2,000 years later, Christians are still doing the same thing - strengthening the local church, starting new ones over the world, and supporting them with funds, supplies, and devoted people to serve in the mission fields. FRIDAY read chapter 4: The Christians are encouraged to live holy and productive lives and to rejoice because Jesus will return to take those who believe in Him to spend eternity with God almighty. Are you redeemed by Jesus and expecting His second coming?

The Bitterness of Eating from the Sweet Book

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. (Revelation 10:9, 10) This order comes from Christ in heaven as He is directing every operation recorded in the Book of Revelation. He is in full charge. Revelation glorifies our wonderful Savior. He is the Judge of all the earth here, and we see Him as God has highly exalted Him and given Him a name above every name. John becomes a participant in the great drama which is unfolding before us. He is required to eat the little book, and the results are bittersweet. Eating the little book means to receive the Word of God with faith. The part of the Word of God taken by John was judgment. John eagerly received the Word of God, but when he saw that more judgment was to follow, it brought travail of soul and sorrow of heart. It was sweet in his mouth and bitter in his digestive system. It is sweet to know the Book of Revelation and what God intends to do, but when we find out that judgment is coming to the Christ-rejecting world around us, we cannot rejoice in that. The prophecy becomes bitter. There is another very real application of this. Many folk begin the study of prophecy with enthusiasm, but when they find that it is applicable to their life and that it makes demands on them personally, they lose interest, and it becomes a bitter thing. But it should be in your mouth sweet as honey. There is nothing in the Word of God that ministers more to a holy life than the thoughtful study of prophecy. To be a student of prophecy and live a dirty life will only lead to abnormality. The reason we hear so much abnormality in the interpretation of prophecy in our day is that the Word of God is not having its way in the hearts and lives of the folk who study it. It is unfortunate that people will get interested in prophecy but not in Christian living. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. (v. 11) You can be sure of one thing, that John was properly integrated. He believed that all nations, all peoples, all tongues, and all colors ought to hear the Word of God. They need to hear it because they need to be warned that judgment is coming. If they go through the Great Tribulation, they will feel as if they have entered hell itself. This is the part that made John sad. This is the reason this little book became bitter to John: He must prophesy against many before Christ comes to His Kingdom.

Hubbard Elementary School kicks off campaign for cancer

The Hubbard Elementary School has kicked off their campaign to raise over $10,000 to help fund blood cancer research and provide help and hope to thousands of patients and their families, through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Series program. Hubbard has participated since 2002 raising just under $74,000! They have been the #2 school in Northern Ohio the past two years and are hoping to be number one this year! The current #1 school is Woodbury Elementary in Shaker Heights who raised $11,041.48. In addition to learning more about blood cancers, Hubbard students are learning about giving back to the community. “A number of our Honored Heroes (blood cancer survivors) live in this area and LLS funds 4 local researchers in the Cleveland area,” said Kerri Peterson-Davis, Campaign Manager, of LLS’s Northern Ohio Chapter Student Series. “We have made huge strides, but there still is a long way to go. Leukemia affects more children than any other cancer, so LLS’s Student Series provides a meaningful way for kids to help kids. Every penny really does make a difference.” Donations towards Hubbard’s campaign can be made online at http://events.lls.org/pages/noh/ HubbardElementarySchool

HHS Band and Honors World History work together The Hubbard High School Freshman Band classes of Mr. Nestich and the Freshman Honors World History Students of Mr. Stoffer have been working on a cross curriculum assignment Voted “Best of The Best” 8 Years

days researching in the high school library with assistance from Mrs. Phiel. The band students focused on mostly the musical side of the time periods and the history students mostly

focused on the historical aspects of the music. Both groups studied composers and musicians comparing their backgrounds with specific songs and the historical framework they were dealing with at the time. Students had different thoughts on the assignment. Adria Powell said, “At first I thought it was strange that band and history were working together but when I saw the project it was obvious it related to each other. Ben Pasku added, “I thought it was cool because we got to mix the two genres and made it a super project!” The students completed a typed report on their findings and look forward to more exciting assignments in the future.

Marty

Pepsi

Pepsi is a 3 year old Domestic Shorthair mix. Marty is a 3 year old Hound mix. Marty’s previous owner could not provide him with the necessary care and therefore had to surrender her to AWL. Marty is an energetic and playful guy that loves meeting new people and gets along well with other animals. He was chosen for the Caring Companions Training Program and spent 9 weeks learning basic obedience like commands, leash walking and housebreaking. Marty’s adoption fee is $200 and includes his training as well as his neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing and a microchip.

She was found as a stray and brought to AWL. Pepsi can be timid when

Helpful and handy tips for mothers returning from maternity leave Returning from maternity leave can be challenging for any mother, but it can be especially difficult for first-time mothers, many of whom spend the vast majority of their maternity leaves with newborn babies in hand. While the challenge of returning from maternity leave can be considerable, working mothers can take steps to ensure the transition goes as smoothly as possible. · Find trustworthy child care. Mothers' biggest concerns when returning from maternity leave tend to center around child care. It can be quite a nerve-wracking leap to leave a young child in someone else's care for the first time, but working parents must find someone to care for their children while they are at work. Start looking as soon as possible, asking physicians, family members, friends, and neighbors for recommendations. Insist on references from any potential caregivers, and don't hesitate to find a new care provider if your initial choice does not pan out. · Adjust your breastfeeding schedule. As the end of maternity leave nears, mothers can adjust their breastfeed-

ing schedules so babies grow accustomed to nursing during hours when their mothers will be home and not at the office. Some companies have on-site child care, and mothers who can take advantage of such programs should establish an on-site breastfeeding schedule and let their bosses know at which points during the day they will be visiting the onsite child care facility to breastfeed. · Inquire about telecommuting. The idea of telecommuting might have been a topic better broached before you went on maternity leave, but it's never too late to inquire. Some companies embrace telecommuting while others are more hesitant to allow employees to work from home. Find out which category your company falls into, or if bosses are willing to meet you in the middle ground and enable you to work from home one or two days per week. Telecommuting can make the transition back to work a little easier, and it can save you substantial amounts of money on child care as well. · Address any uncomfortable feelings. Returning from

maternity leave often stirs feelings of guilt or sadness. If you develop such feelings, speak openly about them with your significant other and/or speak to fellow working mothers who can often offer support and share their own stories about returning from maternity leave. · Cut back on your commitments. Before you became

a mother, you might have been the type of employee who was never afraid to take on a new project no matter how much was already on your plate. Now you may have to make adjustments. Avoid taking on any additional work as you get used to being a working mother. Once you grow accustomed to your new schedule and being both

a professional and a mother, then you can start taking on additional commitments if you feel you can swing it. Returning from maternity leave is a challenge working mothers must face. But those who start to think about their transitions back to the office sooner rather than later will be better prepared to handle such a unique experience.

WaterFire Sharon announces event dates for 2016

WaterFire Sharon, PA has announced three event dates for 2016: Saturday July 16, August 20, and September 24. This will be the fourth season that “WaterFire Sharon” has been held in Sharon. “WaterFire Sharon” was introduced during the summer of 2013 in downtown Sharon, with more than 50 braziers placed in the Shenango River and fired with cedar and pine. After a full day of an arts and music festival, the evening activities commence with a ceremonial lighting of the braziers which are tended to and remain burning until midnight. The music festival continues throughout the evening by featuring live entertainment on an indoor stage and several outdoor stages. “Last year’s ‘WaterFire Sharon’ events drew approximately 60,000 visitors into downtown Sharon” said WaterFire’s Board Chairman, Karen Winner Sed. “In addition to the exposure to such a world class artistic event, there has been economic impact far beyond Sharon. We’re hearing stories of increased business done in shopping, restaurants and hotels during WaterFire weekends throughout the region for the past three years. We know that there is a positive residual effect as well. Visitors return year round to the area, claiming their return is due to having such a positive experience while here for WaterFire. The board and committees are finalizing the details of the three events for this summer and will announce them once completed.” WaterFire is an artistic endeavor that was created by artist Barnaby Evans in Providence R.I. In the early 1990’s, Evans created an evening event that would bring people into the downtown to see lit braziers in the river. The event continues to be an immersion in the senses as the fires crackle and music plays in the background, the boats carry volunteers and performers along the braziers, and the cedar wood burning fills the air with just the right amount of scent. WaterFire is credited for helping to rebuild Providence into a vibrant downtown today. Their lightings (approx. 24 per year) average 40,000 spectators per event or almost 1 million visitors to WaterFire each season. “Bringing this to Pennsylvania was a major undertaking. It could not happen without the hundreds of volunteers, the financial support of many donors, the Visitors Bureau, the City’s help and cooperation, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, namely the Tourism Office in DCED. ” added Sed. “For decades we’ve asked ourselves what we could do with the river running through downtown Sharon. WaterFire has been one creative and exciting answer. We’re excited to bring it back, knowing how much people are looking forward to it, including the busloads of tourists who already have their plans to attend booked.” As part of the Community Foundation, all financial contributions to “WaterFire Sharon” are tax deductible. For more information on how to financially support “WaterFire Sharon” or to learn more about the many, and varied Volunteer Opportunities, please contact Karen Anderson, Land Operations Manager of WaterFire, at 724-981-5882 x111. More information about “WaterFire Sharon” can be found at www.waterfiresharonpa.org

Trumbull SWCD’s 2016 Rotary/RoboCats clothing drive Enrollment increases at YSU for first time since 2011 Spring Fish Sale

It is that time of year again as the Trumbull SWCD gets ready for their annual spring pond stocking sale. Trumbull SWCD will be selling a variety of fish fingerlings through Fender’s Fish Hatchery for use in local ponds. Why do you want to stock fish? Your answer can help the District staff provide the best advice or prompt us to refer you to the ODNR Division of Wildlife for more specific information. If you are looking to sport fish, bass and channel catfish are often stocked. Those pond owners experiencing problems with snails may want to order redear sunfish (the Shell Cracker) as a control option. Redear sunfish will also provide food for your bass. White amurs are sterile so they will likely need restocked to maintain adequate levels of vegetation control. Fender’s Fish Hatchery will be delivering pre-ordered fish on Tuesday, April 26. These fish are healthy and are ready to be carefully placed in your pond; however, we do not guarantee their survival. To place your order, please fill out the order form and return it along with your check or money order to Trumbull SWCD. Orders will be accepted until Friday, April 22, 2016. Pick-up will be Tuesday, April 26, 2016 beginning at 9:30 am and ending at 11:00 am, at the Mosquito Lake Parking area, which is located opposite the Hillside Cemetery at the end of Main Street in Cortland (just past our office building – the Trumbull County Agriculture and Family Education Center). Notice that pick-up time is set for the morning. Orders must be picked up at the specified time. Please mark your calendars as we do not send out reminders! On the day of pick-up you will need to bring your own containers, lined with a new unscented, heavy-duty plastic bag and partially filled with your own pond water to transport the fish to your pond. Please do not use tap water or well water. Make sure to line the container with the garbage bag prior to adding your pond water. It is also helpful if you ensure the bags do not leak and can be tied shut. A general “rule of thumb” is to bring a 5 gallon bucket for every 50 fingerlings ordered and bring a 5 gallon bucket for every 2 white amur ordered. Please complete the whole order form including a phone number...sometimes people forget to pick up their fish and this makes it easier for District Staff to contact those individuals. Thanks! For more information, please contact Amy Reeher at 330 -637-2056, ext. 111 or [email protected]

J.P. Marsh & Co. Scholarship

Applications are now available for the 2016 annual J.P. Marsh & Co. Memorial Scholarship for all interested Hubbard High School seniors. Due to the rising cost of education in today’s economy. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of the help available to them. The qualifying criteria for the memorial scholarship are that the Hubbard High School student has a GPA of 3.0 or better and plans on attending Youngstown State University’s “School of Business.” Applicants will also be asked to write a short essay explaining why they chose to pursue a career in business. James Marsh established the annual J.P. Marsh & Co. Memorial Scholarship in memory of his parents, the late John & Marie Marsh, both honor graduates of YSU. The scholarship’s goal is to help our youth in obtaining the higher education necessary in today’s competitive workforce. It is hoped that the candidate who secures such a scholarship will help contribute to making the Mahoning Valley a better place in which to live and work. James P. Marsh, the founder of J.P. Marsh & Co. CPAs and Business Consultants, a graduate of the YSU School of Business, supports its program by offering this scholarship. Applications are available on the high school website at http://www.hubbard.k12.oh/us/images/guidance/hs/ National/Scholarship/JPMARSHSCHOLARSHIPAPP.pdf The deadline to submit the applications is February 26. The award will be presented at the Senior Awards Night banquet held in May.

The Girard High School FIRST Robotics team, the RoboCats, and Girard-Liberty Rotary Club partnered to sponsor a Winter Clothing drive. Coats, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters, hoodies, and sweatshirts we received and donated to the Girard Emanuel Center, along with a cash donation from the Girard-Liberty Rotary Club. Members of the Girard-Liberty Rotary and the RoboCats met to load the goods for delivery. The RoboCats are Girard's FIRST Robotics Team 379. The team has often partners with the Girard-Liberty Rotary Club for community service activities.

Spaghetti dinner and church tour

Youngstown St. Patrick Church, 1420 Oak Hill Ave., will sponsor the monthly spaghetti dinner and tour of the church that will celebrate its 90th year anniversary in June. The parish had its centennial event in 2011. The dinner hours are 11:30 a.m. – 4p.m. in the church social hall. The cost of the dinner is $8 for adults and $5 for children age ten and under. The menu includes the main entrée, salad, bread, dessert, and beverage. Carryouts are available, and containers will be provided. Anyone wearing a favorite league shirt will receive a dollar off the cost if they eat in the social hall. Jack Doran, archivist for the church, will conduct a guided tour of the magnificent modified gothic church which features an oak baldachino that is surrounded by eight saints. The church is constructed of stone except for some features that are made of solid oak. The tour will begin at 12:30 p.m., and is open to the public. St. Patrick Church served as the pro-cathedral during the rebuilding of St. Columba Cathedral that was destroyed by a fire in 1954. The Sauce and Song dinners and concerts will resume in March. For more information, contact the church office, 330- 743-1109.

BRIAN'S AUTOMOTIVE, INC.

While there was a significant increase in new students this past Fall semester, total enrollment is now up at Youngstown State University for the first time in five years. The university reported that there are 12,361 students enrolled this Spring semester, up 0.33 percent or 41 students from last Spring semester. It’s YSU’s first semester-to-semester enrollment increase since Spring 2011. Gary Swegan, associate vice president for Enrollment Planning and Management, said the university also expects enrollment to increase this coming Fall semester. Fall semester enrollment has been on the decline since 2010. “Over the course of the past two years, we have worked hard to establish a comprehensive and sustainable enrollment infrastructure that we believe provides a foundation for the continued growth of our student population,” he said. The Spring enrollment increase is due in part to significant jumps in the number of international and graduate students. Overall graduate enrollment is up by 6 percent to 1,295 students, while the number of international students is up 18 percent to 282. While total enrollment was down 0.7 percent this past Fall semester, the university experienced a 13.5 percent increase in the number of freshmen, a 20 percent increase in the number of new students (freshmen, transfer, graduate and dual enrollment students) and a significant increase in freshman-to-sophomore retention. The university also reported a freshman class with more out-of-state students, minority students and honor students. Swegan said he believes the combination of YSU’s wide-range of nationally-accredited programs and relatively low cost – the lowest tuition among Ohio’s largest public comprehensive universities – is increasingly attractive to students. “With our quality academic offerings and extensive scholarship and financial aid opportunities, we believe YSU provides the best higher education value in the region,” he said.

Howland Firefighters Local 2786 to hold fundraiser Some of the members of the Fish Dinner Committee include: Left to right – Dave Hanton, Marilyn Hanton, Jim Davies, Linda Rose, David Graora, and Bob Rose. Contributed photo.

St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 4453 WarrenSharon Rd., Vienna, will sponsor their annual famous Lenten Fish Dinners beginning , Friday, Feb. 12 and every Friday through Lent, except on Good Friday, from 3:30 to 7:00 PM. Take-out service begins at 3:00 PM. It takes a lot of hands to put on 6 dinners each Lent – up to 75 people who are a cross-section of our parish and who are thrilled to volunteer for this great fundraiser. This includes many seniors but also our youth and their parents, people from our Women’s Guild and the Knights of Columbus. The preparation begins on Thursdays with making the coleslaw, homemade dressing, and homemade tartar sauce (no bottled here) and setting up the Take-Out Room and the dessert room. Fridays begin at 6:00 AM prepping the fish and all the other food items on the menu – a day-long task. Coleslaw and applesauce are packaged into approximately 250 – 300 individual servings for Take-Out. The people frying the fish or baking it work through the evening keeping the fish fresh, hot, and delicious. Our parish ladies provide homemade desserts. The record number of dinners served in one evening was 900, but we usually average about 700 dinners each Friday in Lent in the past. Pay only $10.00 for a complete meal consisting of baked or fried white fish, pierogis, parsley potatoes, homemade coleslaw, applesauce, bread and butter, beverage, and a homemade dessert. Children 5 to 12, $5.00 and children under 4 eat free.

A team of students from the Trumbull Career & Technical Center competed in an Academic Challenge Tournament held at Harding High School on Saturday, January 16. Dawn Haught, Advisor complimented the students for their willingness to give up their lunch period to prepare for the competition. She stated, “None of our students had competed for their home schools so this was a new experience for them. Because of transportation issues, it is very difficult for our students to remain after school for practice. Our students would purchase their lunch and report directly to my room. I am very proud of the dedication they displayed. They are high quality young people who represented our building with distinction.” The team from the TCTC will also compete in the Trumbull County Prep Bowl scheduled for later in the month of February.

Raising Awareness for ON /AVN -Avascular Necrosis

Hello, my Name Is Debbie I have AVN in my knee I found out in 12/2014 I am not sure exactly how I got AVN or really how long I had it the Doctors do not either. They feel I may have developed AVN when I was exercising and tore my meniscus and hurt my patellar. I went to my doctor after doing some exercise and experienced a lightning bolt hit my knee, that did not go away, he did some tests , and wanted to send me for MRI to confirm the meniscus tear which it did ,but to my surprise I also that day was diagnosed with Avascular necrosis. I was told my knee looked like butter. The doctor felt TKR (Total knee Replacement ) not an option at this time, as he said TKR may last 10 yrs., so we should wait, the only problem with waiting is it can lead to the bone collapsing, so I was told limit my weight bearing. No one wanted to even repair my torn meniscus as they said it can lead to even more complications. Words cannot really describe the pain I have most days, it can be unbearable, draining, simple things are now so very hard like walking up stairs or down stairs, There are days i force myself to move and cry later in the day from pain and frustration. Most days it feels like there is a tourniquet above and below my knee, the pressure is intense and pain is always there, plus its very cold to the touch while inside it feels like its on fire. I had a few opinions and basically was told the same thing. The feeling of frustration set in, the more help i tried to find the more I found out many don’t know about this rare disease nor the cause, or really how to treat it. Treatments for it are mostly surgically interceptive, with no way to predict or guarantee outcomes or results. ON/AVN does not respect age, gender, or ethnic background; it can strike anyone at any time. Of the 20,000 joint replacements in the USA every year, at least 20 percent of them are due to ON/AVN. ON/AVN is still considered a rare condition with not all orthopedic doctors being equally experienced in diagnosing and/or treating it, so valuable time is lost in trying to treat the patient, sometimes leading to a collapsed or otherwise destroyed joint. Very little research is on-going for ON/AVN, as expected with any ‘orphan disease’, or a disease that has a growing number of patients but has not yet reached the numbers of more widespread conditions, such as heart disease or cancer. There is no known cure for ON/

AVN. We desperately need to turn this around. Since 2014 I have been on my own mission, to raise awareness, I started a support group on FB called Avascular Necrosis Lets spread The word to get more and better research: we have over 250 members worldwide and growing, and I have been doing what I can to help others learn about AVN. In closing Rare Disease Day is Feb 29th, celebrated on the 28 during nonleap year.

Please help me Raise awareness for Avascular Necrosis. Let’s Spread the word to get more and better research. If you have AVN or a family member your welcome to join our group on facebook https:// www.facebook.com/groups/ DeadBoneDiseaseAVN/ or visit the website http://nonf.org/ Thank You for your Time and Help in Raising Awareness For ON / AVN Deborah Andio - Poland ,Ohio

My AVN journey began when I was briefly given steroids for an overactive thyroid gland problem - I was eventually given a radioactive isotope which resulted in my thyroid gland becoming underactive. 10 years later I went to my doctor with an agonizing pain in the groin and hardly able to walk. He sent me for physiotherapy but eventually I was told they couldn't help me. I then went back to my doctor who then said "oh you haven't had an x-ray". I was then sent for the x-ray where it was discovered I would need a hip replacement. However, I was told I was too young at 61 and there was a 2 year waiting list but as I had an elderly mother to look after, I elected to go to see a private Orthopedic Consultant and he sent me for an MRI scan and after that the Consultant told me I had AVN and I went in to a private hospital to have a CD operation. However, this was a total failure and waste of money. So I had to have a THR but shortly afterwards I developed in the lower part of the leg which was treated with aspirin and support stockings. Over a year later, I developed the same agonizing pain in my other hip but this time the surgeon replaced it straightaway. I had my first hip bone replaced in 1997 and my second in 1998. I have had 2 nasty flare-ups in the past 2 years where my first hip bone was replaced but the pain has now settled down although I now walk with a cane and use a disability trolley for shopping. Pamela Sunderland UK ************* I grew up playing sports. I started playing softball at the age of 5 and played through college on a scholarship. I was active, always on the go and ready for anything in regards to athletics. At the age of 27, I began feeling symptoms of Avascular Necrosis. Doctors wrote my condition off as tendinitis from years of playing sports. As years passed, I found that my balance was off and I could barely walk. I felt alone as no one could tell me what was going on, besides of course, tendinitis. I was prescribed multiple medications and my condition worsened. I had to quit my full time job doing what I loved- a Juvenile Probation Officer. At that moment, I realized that I was losing my insurance and my income. I was scared, angry and anxious due to the unknown. I had no idea what was going on with me. After multiple hospitalizations for other issues (I was diagnosed with Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease and nearly died as a result), I was finally diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis in both hips. This is a disease that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Doing normal, daily activities is torture at times. Going to the restroom or taking a shower is so painful that it often makes me stop midway and cry. There are some days that I have to crawl to get to the restroom. I have a handicapped tag on my car, but I still feel ashamed to park in that place because people often see me and stare. I know what they're thinking. "She's young and she looks fine! Why is she wasting the spot?" If they only knew what I was feeling on the inside. Avascular Necrosis has not only effected my ability to be a productive, working citizen, but it has effected me emotionally. I don't go out to see friends because I don't have the energy. I am in too much painI only wish that more people were aware of this disease so we were easily understood. -Nátie (Atlanta, GA)

Fitch students selected for Youth Arts Honors Program at the Butler The Youth Arts Honors Program for high school artists went into session this January and focuses on Sculpture and Installation. The program's goal is to challenge and support high school juniors and seniors from Mahoning and Trumbull Counties who are talented in the area of the visual arts. Interviews for the program took place in November and December. Fitch High school had 4 students selected for the interview

process. Juniors, Morgan Crawford, Wendy Liu, Jasmine Loyen, and Katie O’Brien were recommended for the program by their art teachers, Diane Devine and Adam Leskanic. The recommendations were followed by a portfolio review along with an interview with the Youth Arts Honors instructor and program director, Ed Hallahan. To the excitement of the students and their art teachers, all 4 students were selected for the program.

Art teacher, Adam Leskanic stated, “We are very pleased to have such talent at Fitch and to expose these (and all students) to arts outside of the immediate community and expose them to a larger, regional

circle of art and artists.” The honors program is being held Wednesday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in a studio at the Butler North Education Building and will run through May 2016.

The second grade students of St. Rose School have been learning about the lives of the saints. Each child chose a saint they would like to learn about. They wrote reports on the life of the saint they had chosen. Then they created an artistic replica of their saint for display. They learned so much from each other, and saw their saint as a real person who loved God.

Eric Diefenderfer’s 7th grade science class recently received some help from anonymous donors through the website DonorsChoose.org. Diefenderfer took to the website to ask for help in purchasing computer mice for his classroom. The fundraiser took off and money was generously donated from friends, family, parents, and even Disney! Because of the success of the project, Diefenderfer hopes to submit another project through the website soon.

In the patriotic spirit of movies like American Sniper and Lone Survivor, the newest true story of American heroes in movies is 13 Hours: Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. 13 Hours is the story of the six members of a contract security team that use their tactical skills to defend an American diplomatic compound in Benghazi. The movie is based on the 2014 book, 13 Hours by Mitchell Zackoff. 13 Hours is directed by Michael Bay, one of the premier action directors with movies such as Bad Boys, Pearl Harbor and the Transformers series The movie starts with the arrival in Benghazi of Jack Da Silva played by John Krasinski. There is a montage of the fall of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and how things got out of control in Libya with tensions and weapons Jack is picked up by his friend of Rone played by James Badge Dale. Both are former Navy SEALS, now private security contractors, a part of the CIA's global response staff (GRS) to protect US intelligence operatives and diplomats in the city. Rone explains to Jack what is going on in Benghazi as they drive through the ruins of the city. Then things quickly change as Jack and Rone are blocked in on a side street. People with guns and rocket launchers are all around them. Rone calls for help, but Bob, the top agency officer in Benghazi played by David Costabile delays giving them help. Bob’s action would be a telling factor later. Luckily, Jack and Rone use some might and their wits to force the hostiles to back down and let them pass. The storyline continues as on the evening of the eleventh anniversary of the September 11 attacks, when hostile militants charge an American diplomatic compound in Benghazi with a US ambassador in it. The GRS team is ready to go to save the ambassador and others. But, Bob uses his power and makes the team wait. After waiting a long time, the GRS team decides ignore Bob and go to the diplomatic compound, but arrived too late to save the ambassador and another person. The GRS team realizes that the militants will be coming after the CIA annex and the support staff next. This is when the movie kicks into high gear. As a GRS team start to fight with their tactical skills and expert shooting. They seem to hold off the militants, but things start to get overwhelming. 13 Hours is a in-your-face movie with lots of handheld shots that make you feel that you are with the GRS members out in the field. As all of this is happening, the compound is getting no help from the U.S government or other countries. 13 Hours is an nonstop, exhausting experience as you don't know how things will end and who will survive. When the smoke clears, the GRS stand tall as heroes, tired and heartbroken for their losses during the all-night battle for their lives and the support team in the compound. 13 Hours:The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is an actionpacked movie with heroes taking on situations that others would have crumbled under. This is a must-see movie.

The Big Short mixes a real financial horror with comedy By Art Byrd

The financial world of Wall Street and banks is very confusing for most people. The movie, The Big Short does a great job explaining the financial crisis of 2007–2008 which was triggering by the buildup and meltdown of the U.S housing market. The Big Short is based on the 2010 book by Michael Lewis. There's a lot I enjoyed about the Big Short. But, the realness of the 2008 financial crisis really scared me. The storyline begins in 2005 when seemingly erratic hedge fund manager Michael Burry played by Christian Bale and uncovers that the U.S housing market is very unstable based on subprime loans that are high risk and provide few returns. Burry predicts that the markets will collapse sometimes in 2007. Burry, the hedge fund hunter that he is, realizes that he can profit from the impending financial implosion. So, he creates a credit default swap market which allows him to bet against the housing market. Various major banks takes Burry’s offer believing that the housing market is secure. The Big Short written and directed by Adam McKay who has been known for various comedian Will Farrell comedies like Anchorman. The subject matter is so serious that why would a comedy director do this movie. But in actuality, McKay was the perfect director as he combined tragedy and comedy with some very slick editing techniques. The Big Short has other players other than Burry in the meltdown scenario. Trader Jared Vennett played by Ryan Gosling is in a bar when he hears about Burry’s investment deals and realizes that Burry’s theory of a housing meltdown are true. He decides to put his own money in the credit default swap market. Vennett is the narrator of the story in the movie which shows his actions that are a little weird, but funny. I thought this was great in the movie when a misplaced call alerts hedge fund manager Steve Baum played by Steve Carell about Vernett’s credit default swap credit plan. They decide to join forces. Carell is very funny and crazy which provided some of the most interesting moments in the movie. The other players in-

clude two young investors Charlie Gellar played by John Magaro and Jamie Shipley played by Finn Wittrock who accidentally discover a paper by Vernett and they decide to become involved in the credit default swaps themselves. The only trouble is that they are under the required capital for an ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) which is needed to do the trades necessary to profit from the credit default swap situation. They enlist the help of retired banker Ben Rickerts played Brad Pitt. The banking jargon was very confusing. McKay uses celebrities to explain the jargon. There is very sexy actress Margot Robbie sitting in a bubble bath drinking champagne explaining a banking term which I really liked. More celebrities show up to explain more banking situations are Richard Thaler, chef Anthony Bourdain and actress Selena Gomez. The Big Short is a very intense and scary movie as we in the audience learned about the banking industry and the financial meltdown of 2008. In the closing credits we see that despite a federal bailout by taxpayers that for the banks up to today that it is business as usual and before. The Big Short is nominated for five Academy Awards including best supporting actor for Bale. The film definitely deserves the recognition. The Big Short is great because it is based on a true story and explains the banking jargon, so the audience can enjoy the roller coaster up and down ride of the movie. The Big Short will not default on an interesting cinematic trip.

ASK THE LIBRARIAN

“I found this strange item while cleaning out my mother’s house. Can you give me some information about it?” The item in question was a sort of slanted oblong wooden piece about two and a half inches long and an inch wide. One of the short ends was closed off, and the other had a small hole surrounded by a round metal attachment. Three of the four long sides were closed, but one was open. Some kind of silver plating was visible through the open side. “D.R.P, ang” was carved into another side, and another was affixed with a stamp. The stamp shows an open eye and the words “HYGIENE-AUSSTELUNG DRESDEN MAIOCTOBER 1911.” While we haven’t yet been able to figure out what the object is, it seems to be some sort of souvenir from either the 1911 International Hygiene Exhibition or the German Hygiene Museum. “D.R.P, ang” most likely stands for “Deutsches Reichspatent angemeldet,” which means that a patent has been applied for or “patent pending.” The stamp is the logo for the International Hygiene Exhibition, a healthand-medicine-focused world fair that Karl August Lingner put on in Dresden in 1911. (Lingner made his money manufacturing mouthwash, so he may have had ulterior motives for emphasizing health and hygiene.) The Exhibition was so popular that the exhibits were moved to a permanent home in the German Hygiene Museum, which is open to this day. The most famous exhibit is a transparent human figure, dramatically lit, through which one can see the systems of the body. The museum went through an unsavory period beginning in the 1920’s when it became a supporter of “racial hygiene,” or eugenics. It continued to promote Nazi ideals through the 1940s, and even the transparent man was used in propaganda. In 2006, the German Hygiene Museum collaborated with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to host the Holocaust Museum’s exhibit, “Deadly Medicine.” The exhibit focused on eugenics and particularly how it was furthered by German doctors and scientists of the time. It continues to tour the world, and can even be viewed online [http://bit.ly/1PYWJrt]. Along with its permanent exhibitions on motion, the brain, eating and drinking, and sexuality, the German Hygiene Museum also currently has exhibits on AIDS as well as the dark side of the fashion industry.

Disabilities by Daniel J. Vance Christmas Eve 1995 was a day Dan Adragna of Sacramento, California, would rather forget. He was only 30, but a diabetic. That day he entered a Santa Cruz clinic after developing double pneumonia. During his first three days in the hospital, his heart stopped beating four times. As doctors worked feverishly to save his life, he had blood transfusions, an emergency tracheotomy, a 107-degree body temperature, and kidney failure. He was in a coma seven weeks. Ultimately, gangrene affected his feet and a surgeon had to amputate both his legs mid-calf. Amazingly, he somehow survived his ordeal and learned to walk again using artificial legs. Today, Adragna is the Sacramento area director for Joni and Friends, an international, faith-based nonprofit serving people with disabilities. In an email interview, Adragna said, “Invariably, when people find out I walk using two, belowknee prosthetic legs, they are very surprised and often impressed with how well I do. Typically, I respond by saying (walking with them) has become second nature and rarely do I even think about them anymore. Occasionally, someone expresses sympathy. But I quickly turn that around by saying how fortunate I am to be able to walk after spending eight months in a wheelchair before getting my first set of legs. I explain I used to take walking for granted, but no more.” He said places of worship generally could do much better welcoming people with disabilities and their families. The first step in establishing a disability ministry, he said, was a place of worship making a conscience, corporate decision to actively welcome affected individuals and families. The next step was surveying the condition of the facility grounds and buildings for accessibility issues, including parking, bathrooms, and doorways, and making any changes. Greeter and usher training should be provided to insure all feel welcome. Lastly, he suggested enlisting a disability-related organization, like Joni and Friends, to provide children's ministry staff and volunteer training to better serve visiting families affected by disability. As for other advice concerning starting a disability ministry at a place of worship, Adragna said, “Although (a disability ministry) may seem daunting to begin, a loving heart is all that’s required. Often, one child with special needs and a buddy to accompany that child is all it takes. If one family is able to attend a church service because of that one buddy, you're doing special needs ministry.” Facebook: Disabilities by Daniel J. Vance. [Sponsored by Blue Valley Sod.]

Brookfield Historical Commission By Serafina lees

When you drive past the township Green and it is decorated according to the season, you can bet the farm that the Historical Commission had something to do with it. First order of business for the Brookfield Historical Commission last Tuesday was to elect the new officers for 2016. Patty Baker, who will continue for another year as president, said the Commission had a productive year in 2015, ending with a Christmas Celebration on the Green. Santa was played by Trumbull County Treasurer, Sam Lamancusa. He was greeted by Mrs. Baker dressed as Cindy Lou Who (from the Grinch who Stole Christmas) and Hubbard resident Carol Mikita as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. He then went across the street to the United Methodist Church for more activities and visits with the children. Mrs. Baker said Christmas on the Green, which was jointly sponsored with the Township Trustees, was a success and was well represented by township residents and their families. Also in attendance was former resident, Sheriff Thomas Altiere; and current resident State Representative Sean O’Brien; along with Trumbull County Commissioners Frank Fuda, Mauro Cantalamessa, Dan Polivka and McDonald Mayor Glenn Holmes and their families Mrs. Baker said the Luminary bags (candles) held up well despite the windy weather and lined the sidewalks leading to the Gazebo. She highly credited all those who turned out to decorate the Green in November and help out in December. The Commission donated $50 to the Brookfield Band to thank them for their participation noting that trustees, as well as the Commission, would like to urge all band members to take part in community events on the Green in the future. Mrs. Baker also said the Commission is in need of additional strings of lights, as two of the current strings burned out and could not be repaired. The Commission is seeking donations so that additional decorations can be purchased. It was noted, with thanks, that Joy Lay, a township resident, donated a new star topper for the Christmas tree. Projects for 2016 include ideas for spring flower pots to be placed in front of the gazebo, musical events, and decorating the Green for all seasons starting with Valentine’s Day. The Commission’s task is to work with Township Trustees in all phases of historical preservation of the Green and the homes and properties surrounding the Green. Officers for 2016 include Mrs. Baker as president, Janice Economides Vice -President, and Judy Pushcar as Treasurer. They are a non-profit organization overseen by Township Trustees.
