Quota Club continuing its efforts to focus on hearing problems in students

Fatal crash in Lexington Twp. is being probed By john G. whitacre The Review

The Stark County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal crash that occurred early Sunday in Lexington Township. The crash occurred about 12:20 a.m. Sunday when a semitrailer and car collided head on at Walnut Avenue and state Route 225 (Union Avenue). Walnut Avenue and state Route 225 intersect at a sharp angle just north of the Alliance city limits. Lexington Township Fire

Chief Ed Johnson said that his department provided medical assistance at the scene. Lexington Township personnel extricated a female passenger of the car, who died. Johnson said the truck driver was not injured and he had no information on the status of the driver of the car. The sheriff’s office on Monday said it is still investigating the accident and could not release information.

Pam Pirogowicz, speech pathologist, talks about the hearing tests the Alliance Quota Club provides in area schools to Quota Club members. By shannon harsh The Review

Quota Club members got a first-hand look at how difficult it can be for students with hearing loss when speech pathologist Pam Pirogowicz attended their March 26 meeting. The group gathered at Alliance Community Hospital, where Pirogowicz played a recording on a laptop to give the members a chance to hear what it would be like to take an oral test while having dif-

ferent types of hearing loss. As the recorded voice said different words, members attempted to write down what they heard, but it was so difficult to hear, they got most of the words wrong. Having difficulty hearing greatly affects the education of local children, which is why Quota again focused its fundraising efforts on ways to help with the problem, helping the district purchase new audiometer and tympanometer equipment in December. “What we do in the

schools in Alliance is every preschooler, every kindergartner, every student in first, third and fifth grade and all the special education students get their hearing screened every year,” Pirogowicz told the group. She said they also will be testing the eighthgraders’ hearing in May before they move on to the high school. Pirogowicz reported that they already performed hearing tests on 706 students from Parkway, Rockhill and Northside elemen-

tary schools, which resulted in 35 referrals that went on to get further help from their doctors. She said the ability to help these children was due to the specialized equipment. “I have a really good story this year. There’s a little boy at Northside who because we got this machine, we were able to say look at these results, take these to the doctor,” she shared. “He had tonsils and adenoids taken See Quota Page A3

The Independence Day Fireworks Council has begun it 2012 fund drive. The goal is to raise approximately $17,000 to provide fireworks and related activities for the Fourth of July celebration at Silver Park. Financial support for the fireworks is funded entirely by private donations from over 60 area businesses, organizations and individuals. Minerva, East Canton and Louisville businesses have been contacted as a result of a survey that indicated that about one-third of those at the park on the Fourth of July are from those areas. Various levels of support and recognition are available.

Marlington High School pansy sale under way The Marlington High School Horticulture Department’s first spring plant sale has begun. Cool weather-loving pansies are available in baskets to purchase at $7.50 each. “Pansies provide spring color now and when the wether gets warmer, they can be moved to a shady area,” said Tiffany Woods, horticulture instructor. The pansies can be planted in the ground or be kept in the basket as a porch or patio decoration or to give as a gift.

After months of debate, the city of Alliance now has an ordinance governing sweepstakes and Internet cafes. Council unanimously passed legislation that established a $2,500 annual fee per cafe license plus a $10 monthly fee per device within its walls during Monday’s regular meeting. Councilman Roy Clunk, D-2, was excused. The passage resulted in a sigh of relief for those involved. Mayor Alan Andreani, who began the process more than nine months ago when he was an at large councilman, said his research showed most municipali-

for the establishment fee as well as a $50 monthly fee device. Per a request from council’s Safety-Judiciary and Finance committees, Police Chief Scott Griffith confirmed that the city’s proposed fees would be enough to offset costs of enforcement. The original $1,000 annual fee was amended to $2,500 before approval with emergency language. City officials had gone to great lengths to assure that the amount wasn’t excessive. State Sen. Joe Schiavoni, D-Canfield, proposed Wednesday that Internet cafes be put under the oversight of the Ohio Gaming

Alliance Toastmasters talk about doing things with nothing in return Alliance Toastmasters Club 767 met recently. During the Table Topics portion of the meeting, Dave Starcher asked members if they had done something for someone without expecting to get anything in return. Responses were: It’s important to treat everyone the same. This was taught to her by her parents; When get car washed or go out to eat, always leave a good tip for the good service; Give friends a ride to store and helped older people; When hitchhiking was the norm, always gave someone a ride. Always stopped to help change a tire or help pull a car out of a ditch; The Good Samaritan has gone by the wayside; If help someone he gets more satisfaction from it than the people helped. Like to help in the community and give anonymously; Like to pay it forward. Doing something for people without them knowing she did it; When friends have medical

tests she always called to see how tests went so the person can talk about her good news or fears; Someone bought gas and left gas cap on pump so he took off after the guy and gave it back; Likes doing good deeds for others. Has good health and is thankful for it. Likes to treat people the way he would be treated; Likes to take meals in when someone has come home from the hospital or when there is a funeral; When you do good deed for other people the Lord will do good things for you. Ian Kilpatrick gave a speech on attracting new businesses to Alliance. Scott Kleinhans, in his speech “The Pod People,” described the people and situations he encounters at restaurants and motels while traveling in the wee hours of the morning. Toastmasters will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Abiding Savior Lutheran Church. Visitors are welcome.

It shows you what it can do for you.” Pirogowicz noted that some of the parents can’t afford a lot of trips to the doctor, so the machines also help them provide rechecks to see how they are improving. The new audiometer, which is the district’s second such machine, is a more up-to-date version of the traditional test where the child puts on headphones and raises their hand when they hear the beep. The new machine allows the results to be immediately printed off for the parents to take to show the child’s doctor. Pirogowicz said if the child does not pass the hearing screening, they can now do a second test using the new tympanometer, which tests how the middle ear is functioning. The device is placed in the ear and different air pressures are applied in the ear to measure how well the ear drum moves. “We can find out if there is a pathology — if there is something wrong like wax

They don’t have that pain sensitivity. So this let’s them know that something’s wrong and you need to go to the doctor,” she explained. Pirogowicz brought the equipment to the meet-

ing to demonstrate how it works and offered members the opportunity to have their own hearing screened. She thanked the group for their donation and past assistance, which included the purchase of classroom amplification systems. “Our goal is to aid disad-

vantaged women and children in speech and hearing,” President Karen Locke stated of their efforts to help the students. In order to do so, she said the club held a number of fundraisers, including a style show and selling food at Carnation Days in the Park.

bands of the era. In 1945, the Fourth of July was very quiet with no fireworks listed anywhere in the area. In 1946, the Young Men’s Club of the YMCA sponsored Park Days at Silver Park. Activities were organized by Leland Whitacre, but there were no fireworks mentioned. The current tradition began in 1947. With the promise of good weather and peace, the “largest celebration of the Fourth of July in Alliance history” was planned at Silver Park, according to The Alliance Review. The fireworks and activities were sponsored by the Retail and Merchant Division of the Chamber of Commerce and were under the auspices of the Alliance Jaycees. Two ball games were played and were broadcast live on radio station WFAH. There was a fire truck exhibit and concerts were played by the Fairmount Children’s Home band, Alliance High School band and the Alliance City Band. An estimated 20,000 people viewed the “mammoth $1,000 fireworks display.” In 1960, Carnation Festival Queen Pat Novellino presented awards to game contest

winners. Activities during the 1970s through 1990s included Carnation Festival queen introductions, baseball, the Al Nash Swing Band, teen bands, traditional band concerts, Capt. Penny, magicians, and balloon ascensions. Funding was described as “tenuous” during the early 1980s. In 1995, the fireworks were provided by Henschen, Lavery, Montrose and Wally Armour automobile dealerships. In the late 1990s membership in the Alliance Jaycees decreased and fell below charter strength. Eventually, the Jaycees disbanded. During the early 2000s the fireworks were continued by the efforts of former Jaycee Josh White and some friends who continued to solicit funds and organize activities. In 2003, Andrew Dix of the Alliance Rotary Club approached White with a proposal to maintain the fireworks and activities at Silver Park on Independence Day. The proposal was to contact area service organizations to form a council to continue the tradition. Letters went out in April 2003 and meetings were scheduled. The call was answered by four orga-

nizations: Alliance Rotary Club, Alliance Kiwanis Club, the Lexington Ruritan Club and the Washington Ruritan Club. Legal papers were drawn up by attorney Michael Ogline and the Independence Day Fireworks Council Inc. was incorporated on June 3, 2003. Signers were Steve Young, Richard Duro and Joshua White. The council is listed as an Agency Fund of the Greater Alliance Foundation. In just a few weeks over $13,000 was raised from 40 area businesses, organizations and individuals. This support, along with $2,800 left over from the Jaycees, provided a $10,000 show put on by Pyrotechnics of New Castle, Pa., music, and other activities and expenses. The council, which still includes those organizations and community members, continues the fireworks today. Anyone wishing to help support the fireworks is invited to send a check made out to the Greater Alliance Foundation to Josh White/ White Physical Therapy, 75 W. Glamorgan St., Suite 110, Alliance, OH 44601. The donation is tax deductible.

These games and activities are being organized by University of Mount Union senior Dan Humphrey. The Independence Day Fireworks Council was formed in 2003. Before 1948 there was no particular tradition of fireworks in Alliance on the Fourth of July at any particular place. Fireworks and band concerts could be found at various parks in and around Alliance. These included Rockhill Park, Broadway Park, Sevekeen Lake Park, Lake Park, Congress Lake and Alliance Country Club. In 1930, the Alliance Country Club opened a new golf course with a public fireworks display with an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 in attendance. Ground pieces included a windmill, a peacock and an American flag.

The Portage County Sheriff ’s Office, in collaboration with the Portage County Water Resources Office and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, is hosting a prescription medication collection day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 28. The purpose of the event is to give the public a chance to prevent prescription pill abuse and theft and rid their homes of expired, unused and unwanted prescription medications. Medication may be brought to the Portage County Water Resources Laboratory Facility at 8116 Infirmary Road in Shalersville for disposal. The service is free and anonymous; no questions asked. “Last April, Americans turned in 376,593 pounds — 188 tons — of prescription drugs at nearly 5,400 sites operated by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement partners,” Portage County On the rroxx

Sheriff David Doak said. “This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.” Medicines left in home medicine cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — pose potential safety and health hazards. Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user”

of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the attorney general to accept them. The law also allows the attorney general to authorize long-term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. The DEA has begun drafting regulations to implement the act, a process that can take as long

as 24 months. Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events semiannually. Anyone with questions regarding the program may call the sheriff ’s office at 330-678-7012.

A fracking tower stands at a facility on state Route 619 near Lair Road in this photo taken Feb. 29. Carrollton has a head start in hydraulic fracturing in this part of the state, but activity is spreading quickly throughout the area. They said the initial boom in their area has been from signing bonuses, but they expect to see much larger sums coming in soon. As an example, they used the roughly 1,000 acres the city of Salem is in negotiation to lease. They said Salem could be looking at $200,000 per month per acre in royalties, and computed out for 30 years, which is the estimated life of the shale in Ohio, this equals $5.8 million. This makes the sign-on bonuses look small by comparison, they said, and they are only estimating at $200 per acre for this example, which is on the very low end. Jim Teal, sales manager at Lavery Automotive in Alliance, said one of his customers from Carrollton said there are 36 new millionaires there now because of the drilling.

True or not, Lavery is still having trouble keeping new trucks in stock with sales on an unusual high peak. And since the bulk of the drilling in the Carrollton area has been on private farming property thus far, it is said these farmers are out buying new trucks in a hurry with sign-on bonuses. Days Inn of Carrollton also reports a stronger business as of late, although rumors they have contracted the rooms out to an oil company is untrue. Legart said one concern is how to keep the money being made in the area. “What will the people making all this money be doing with it?” he mused. “The way we want to safeguard our local businesses is by helping them to expand, and we also want to attract some new businesses so people have local places

to spend their money. That’s when you’ll have the most positive effect on the local economy.” Zoning has been in place for years, but there is not a lot of vacant land in town for expansion. Still, there are some places available for growth, and some in close proximity to the town of Carrollton that can also be used for expansion. A July report by economists at Penn State University estimates that shale gas drilling and production were worth $11.2 billion to the state economy there in the past year. The report also said the industry helped support 140,000 jobs, with the biggest effects in construction, mining and retail. State officials there say the drilling boom has been great for the economy.

MMS students learn, write about Hiroshima bombing By laurie huffman The Review

Students from Jogakuin High School in Hiroshima, Japan, enjoyed lunch with Marlington Middle School students and visited a typical American classroom during a visit organized by the University of Mount Union last week. Middle school students are, clockwise from left, Brooke Brodzinski, Paige Gallina, Dakota Warner, Hannah Canale, Maddie Meyers and Carlee Mitchell.

A group of high school students who traveled all the way to Alliance from Japan on a mission of peace visited the seventh- and eighth-grade language arts classrooms at Marlington Middle School last week. The Japanese youth attend Jogakuin High School in Hiroshima, Japan, and they were in Alliance as part of a special spring program between Jogakuin and the University of Mount Union. While at Marlington Middle School, they spoke to students with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation about peace, the bombing of Hiro-

shima and their private allgirl Christian school. According to information provided by the Marlington school district, they presented the language arts class with a book titled “Summer Cloud,” which is about the atomic bomb experience of a girls’ school in Hiroshima. In the coming weeks, the Marlington students will use this experience to write persuasive speeches about the bombing of Hiroshima. After their presentation and a question and answer period, the Japanese visitors were paired with seventh-grade students to attend lunch and one of their classes with them to experience a typical day in American public schools.

Blaze erupts at Russian skyscraper, no injuries MOSCOW (AP) — Huge flames danced for hours on the top floors of an underconstruction Moscow skyscraper that is to be Europe’s tallest, lighting up the night sky Monday. No injuries were reported in the blaze. The fire at the eastern part of the Federation Tower complex was visible from much of the Russian capital’s western half. Two firefighting helicopters noisily circled the blaze, dumping huge buckets of water on the flames before the Emergencies Ministry said the fire had been stopped from spreading by about 11:30 p.m., some three hours after it broke out. The fire, some 880 feet above street level, was believed to have started when plastic sheeting came in contact with a spotlight illuminating a work area, Nikita Zhuravlev, a representative of project developer Potok8, told Associated Press Television News. He said a firefighting helicopter appeared to have spread the flames by flying

too low over the fire. The Federation Tower is part of a massive development on the banks of the Moscow River about 1.5 miles west of the Kremlin. When completed, it is to consist of two glasssheathed office towers flanking a mast reaching 560 meters. The tower that caught on fire is to top out at 1,150 feet tall. That would make it Europe’s tallest building, exceeding the current record-holder, the 990-foot City of Capitals building in the same development as the Federation Tower, and yet another building in the complex, the Mercury City Tower, which is to reach 1,089 feet. Russian news reports said the fire engulfed some 3,200 square feet at its height. It hit multiple floors, reportedly the 65th to 67th. Firefighters were forced to climb stairs to reach the blaze because elevators are not yet in service, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.

The tower, when completed, is to be 1,150 feet tall.

Police say 7 dead and 3 hurt in Christian school shooting OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A gunman opened fire at a Christian university in California Monday, killing at least seven people and wounding three more, before being captured hours later at a shopping center in a nearby city, authorities said. The gunfire erupted around midmorning at Oikos University in Oakland, police said. Television footage showed heavily armed officers swarming the building in a large industrial park near the Oakland airport. The footage also showed bloodied victims on stretchers being loaded into ambulances. Several bodies covered in sheets were laid out on a patch of grass at the school. For at least an hour after the shooting began, police thought the shooter could still be on campus. Myung Soon Ma, the school’s secretary, said she could not provide any details about what happened at the small private school, which serves the Korean community with courses from theology to Asian medicine. “I feel really sad, so I cannot talk right now,” she said, speaking from her home. “No one can go there because the access is restricted right now.” Police believe the shooter acted alone, though they have not discussed a possible motive. Police spokeswoman Cynthia Perkins said the death toll was seven Monday afternoon. She did not release any other details about the victims, but said officials planned a news conference later. Officer Johnna Watson said the suspect is an Asian male in his 40s who

She would not confirm if he was a student. Watson said most of the wounded or dead were shot inside the building. “It’s a very fluid situation and an active investigation,” Watson said, declining to discuss details of the arrest or a possible motive. KTVU-TV reported that the shooter was a student and opened fire in a classroom. Pastor Jong Kim, who founded the school about 10 years ago, told the Oakland Tribune that the shooter was a nursing student who was no longer enrolled. He did not know if the shooter was expelled or dropped out. Kim said he heard about 30 rapid-fire gunshots in the building.

never knew how far he would go.” According to its website, Oikos University also offers studies in music and nursing. A telephone message left on the university’s main voicemail was not immediately returned. Jerry Sung, the university’s accountant, said the school offers courses in both Korean and English to less than 100 students. He said the campus consisted of one building. Sung said many of its students went on to work in nursing and ministry. “The founder felt there was a need for theology and nursing courses for KoreanAmericans who were newer to the community,” Sung said. “He felt they would feed more comfortable if they had Korean-American professors.”

New Jersey wants to collect on unredeemed gift cards TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Remember that gift card you got from Aunt Francine but never spent? New Jersey would be more than happy to take it off your hands. The state will soon begin requiring gift card sellers to obtain ZIP codes from buyers so it can claim the value of cards not redeemed after two years. At least one major seller, American Express, has pulled its cards from shelves rather than attempt to comply. Shoppers would still be able to redeem a card after

two years, if it hasn’t expired. But if the state has already laid claim to the money, businesses might have to jump through administrative hoops to get reimbursement — and therefore stop selling gift cards altogether to avoid the hassle. “No other state in the country requires this of retailers,” said John Holub, president of the New Jersey Retail Merchants Association, which represents 3,500 retailers and is one of three groups to sue over the law. “The loser is going to be the

“I stayed in my office,” he said. Deborah Lee, who was in an English language class, said she heard five to six gunshots at first. “The teacher said, ‘Run,’ and we ran,” she said. “I was OK, because I know God protects me. I’m not afraid of him.” Angie Johnson told the San Francisco Chronicle that she saw a young woman leave the building with blood coming from her arm and crying: “I’ve been shot. I’ve been shot.” The injured woman said the shooter was a man in her nursing class who got up and shot one person at point-blank range in the chest before spraying the room with bullets, Johnson said. “She said he looked crazy all the time,” she said the victim told her, “but they

consumer, because gift cards from some of their favorite retailers may no longer be available.” There is no way American Express Co. can ensure compliance with cards not bought directly from AmEx, company spokeswoman Vanessa McCutchen told The Associated Press. So the company began pulling gift cards in New Jersey last week. By Monday, there were none left at groceries, pharmacies or convenience stores in the state. The only way for New Jersey residents to buy AmEx gift cards, which can be used practically anywhere, is directly from the company. The state saw unused gift cards, travelers’ checks and money orders as potential new revenue sources and projected the state could get $79 million in the 2011 fiscal year. Without information about the consumer, the value of the unused card

would belong to the company. The Legislature passed the law along with the budget two years ago. Lawsuits quickly followed, and the collection of ZIP codes was temporarily suspended. The merits of the cases, since consolidated into one, have yet to be argued. But the injunction has been lifted, paving the way for the state Treasury Department to issue guidance on new ZIP code collection requirements. The Assembly passed a proposal in March to reverse the changes, but the Senate has so far not acted. Retailers may have to decide whether to spend the time and money to upgrade their point-of-purchase sales system so that a ZIP code can be attached to a transaction for later tracking, said Jim Burns, a Newark lawyer whose firm is representing the Retail Merchants Association.

Using enlarged photos, he showed and described scenes of early days in Alliance. The Stark Electric Power House was built in 1893. Located on Lake Park Boulevard, photos of both the outside and inside of the building were studied. The Train Barn was near the Stark Electric Power House. On Main Street, around the turn of the 20th century, many streetcar rails were visible, showing its wide use

at that time. The speaker showed many scenes of Main Street in the early days. Because of his career on and interest in the Alliance Fire Department, Shaffer showed and described many photos of early fire equipment that was used. The earliest “engines” were pulled by horses, which needed much care. Each Saturday the horses would be taken outside and exercised, to the delight of an often youthful audience. In 1909, Alliance received a Robinson motorized fire engine. Shaffer showed a photo of an early collection of the Christmas toy donations. Begun by the firemen in 1924, the annual project continues. The business meeting was called to order by Tiffany McQuilkin, president. Other

Cheating husband will need support to cope with divorce DEAR ABBY: I have been separated from my husband, “Fred,” for several months because of his infidelity. He is pushing to move back in together and has been very insecure and overly clingy. He constantly accuses me of not paying enough attention to him, no matter what I do or how much time I spend with him. Fred and I have two children, so this has been difficult for all of us. But I’m frustrated with

his disrespect for my space and seriously considering divorce. I want to tell him, but I’m worried about his reaction since he cries every time I mention anything that implies that I might “give up on us.” He was married once before, and told me that he had to stay with his brother for a while afterward to make sure he wouldn’t hurt himself. His family lives 400 miles away, and he wants to visit them soon. Would it be wrong of me to call him while he’s there and tell him it’s over? I feel he’ll need support when he gets the

news, and I don’t want him to be alone. He’s a good father and good friend. I do love and care about him, and don’t want him to do anything that will hurt himself or his children, but I can’t stay married to someone who cheats on me. Any suggestions? — TORN IN PIECES DEAR TORN: To stay married to someone because you think he might hurt himself would be giving in to emotional blackmail. Fred is clingy and needy because he now realizes what his cheating may have cost him. Of course it’s a turnoff. However, before ending the marriage, it’s important that you understand your disgust

marriages. Our children are now grown and live their own lives. I have recently learned that I’m terminally ill and, as I come to the end of my journey here on Earth, I need some advice. My son, 26, does not know he’s not my biological child. His mother was pregnant when she met me and we never told him. As I make my final preparations, I am conflicted as to whether I should. How do I address this? Or do I even address it all? If I do it before I pass away, I’m afraid he will be upset and angry and turn away from me. If I do it afterward, via taped video message or handwritten letter, I won’t be there to answer the questions he’s bound to have.

Where do I go from here, Abby? — UNSURE IN MISSOURI DEAR UNSURE: Please accept my sympathy for your poor prognosis. Your situation is regrettable, but please don’t shoulder all the blame. Your first wife shares some of it, too. The young man has the right to know that, while you love him and have raised him as your own, he isn’t your biological child. He should be told before your death, in person, and nothing should be left out. If possible, his mother should participate in the conversation. And if she knows who the father is, your son should have access to an accurate family medical history.

with him is mixed with your anger at his betrayal. That’s why you could both benefit — and communicate more honestly and safely — if you schedule some appointments with a licensed marriage and family counselor. If, during that time, you decide you still want a divorce, the place to tell him would be in the therapist’s office. You won’t be alone. He will have emotional support, and his family can be told immediately afterward. *** DEAR ABBY: I am a 46-yearold married man and have been with my wife for 23 years.

Sebring walks to a blowout of Wellsville By MIKE KEATING The Review

Trojans turn 11 free passes into a short afternoon on diamond

SEBRING — Sebring executed superb patience when hitting against the first two Wellsville pitchers, taking advantage of wildness. The Trojans coaxed 11 walks from those two hurlers, converting eight of them into runs, and they strolled to a 15-0, five-inning win over the Tigers in an Inter-Tri-County League Lower Tier game at the Akenhead Complex Monday evening. “We were focused and very disciplined at the plate,” Sebring head coach Doug Eaton said. Sebring (6-1, 2-1) also collected nine hits, three apiece in the second, third and fourth innings. Dakota Wagner led the offense with two singles and five RBI. Corey Baia added three singles, including a pair of infield hits. Baia also legged out a bunt for a single, as did Jerry Billingsley.

“Bunting is part of our game,” Eaton said. Wellsville (0-6, 0-3) was victimized by the big inning in several previous defeats. That trend continued when Sebring plated seven runs in the second inning, breaking the game open. Five walks came in that second inning. “Walks hurt us,” Wellsville head coach Dave Thompson said. “Eleven walks are the most we gave up to a team all year. When we got some pitches over the plate, there were men on base, because of the walks, A good team like Sebring took advantage and got some big hits.” Junior right-hander Josh Hurford pitched five shutout innings to record the win, his third in three decisions. Using an assortment of pitches, Hurford scattered two hits, walked two and struck out 11, including the side in the fourth and fifth innings.

Despite several long innings while he and his teammates were batting, Hurford showed no signs of rust when he returned to the mound. “I kept focused between innings,” Hurford said. “I stretched a little bit, keeping my legs loose. I also played some catch to stay loose.” Wellsville had trouble catching up to most of Hurford’s pitches. Matt Bowling and Jake Reed did manage one single apiece, getting solid contact on the same pitch. “They were too curve balls,” Hurford smiled. “I wished I had them both back.” Hurford threw 78 pitches, 51 for strikes. His most efficient inning was the second, when he threw nine pitches, eight for strikes. Starter Matt Broughton and Bowling, the See Trojans Page B3

Big Blue back on top NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Kentucky ended its 15-year national championship drought with a 67-59 win against Kansas in Monday night’s NCAA national championship game at the Superdome. Doron Lamb scored 12 points and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 11 to lead Kentucky to a 41-27 lead at halftime, but Kansas chipped away and took the game down to the wire with a crucial 10-point run after falling behind by 15 points at the under four minute media timeout. The Jayhawks cut it to five points on several occasions but could not get any closer. The Wildcats had one of the biggest halftime leads in title game history. North Carolina had a 21-point lead over Michigan State in 2009 en route to winning the national title in convincing fashion. Kentucky is chasing its eighth national championship, second only to UCLA’s 11, and its first since 1998. That year the Wildcats set the record for largest halftime deficit overcome, rallying from a 41-31 deficit to beat Utah 78-69. The Wildcats shot 53.3 percent from the field (16 of 30), while holding the Jayhawks to 33.3 percent shooting (11 of 33). Kentucky led the nation this season in field goal percentage defense (37.4). The matchup of the two winningest programs in NCAA history started close, but Kentucky pulled away in a hurry. The Wildcats took the lead for good at 9-7 on a follow shot by Kidd-Gilchrist. After a basket by Tayshawn Taylor of Kansas, Kentucky went on a 6-0 run that was capped by two free throws by Lamb with 13:39 to play. Kansas couldn’t get a basket inside as the Wildcats blocked five shots, three by 6-foot-10 freshman Anthony Davis, who entered the game leading the nation with 180. The lead reached 18 points twice, the second time at 41-23 with 1:04 left on a drive by KiddGilchrist. Baskets by Thomas Robinson and Taylor in the final minute allowed Kansas to close the deficit to 41-27. Robinson and Taylor both had eight points for the Jayhawks, but Robinson got his on 3-for-11 shooting. The win gave Kentucky its 38th of the season.

Former area baseballers having success at collegiate level By MIKE KEATING The Review

Several former Alliance-area high school baseball standouts have impacted their respective college teams in the early spring. Marietta senior shortstop Tim Saunders, who played at Alliance and helped the Pioneers capture the NCAA Division III national championship last spring, heads the list. “I keep in contact with Saunders and he’s drawn some interest from Major League teams, “said Alliance head coach Jeff Graffice, his high school baseball mentor. “The (Chicago) Cubs are one team looking at him.” Saunders, 6-0, 180, has helped Marietta win 14 of its first 17 games, swinging a solid bat and laying down some leather defensively. In 15 games, the right-handed hitter is batting .333 (20-for60), with five doubles, two triples, two home

runs, 22 runs scored, 15 RBI and 11 stolen bases. Defensively, he has committed just one error in 70 fielding chances. The Pioneers, which are currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, host Mount Union today in a early key Ohio Athletic Conference clash. While Saunders has been a cornerstone at Marietta, West Branch graduate Evan Campbell became an impact player at Division I Kent State University as a freshman and hasn’t slowed down. Campbell, a 6-0, 170-pound junior left-handed batter in his third year as a starter overall and second season starting in centerfield, hit .388 (40-for-103) in his first 24 games, including brutal road contests against Georgia Tech, New Mexico State, Pepperdine and Fresno State. He scored a team-high 23 runs in that time period and also clubbed nine doubles, one triple, two home runs and 16 RBI.

Saunders is frequently joined in the Kent State outfield by red-shirt sophomore Troy Summers, who was a high school rival at Minerva. Summers, a 6-1, 180-pound right-handed batter, is hitting .237 (14-for-59), with three doubles and six RBI. When he gets on base, he’s been a threat, scoring 15 runs and stealing 15 bases. “He came to me after his freshman year and wanted to walk on at Kent, so I took him through a bnuch of fielding drills and had him go through a lot of batting practice,” said Carl Michael, Summers’ high school head coach at Minerva. “He worked his tail off and is their fastest runner. He is working his way through a (batting) slump, but he’s a good line-drive hitter and can contribute in several ways.” Alliance product Ryan Nordquist, who originally began his college career at Ohio DominSee College Page B3

Page B2 • www.the-review.com • Tuesday, April 3, 2012 Pitching on a regular basis last year, Rice worked 54 innings, posted a 4-2 record with a 1.81 ERA and struck out 87 batters. One loss was 1-0 to Louisville, a game where Alliance was limited to one hit. “We lost, but I thought that was my best game,” Rice confided. “I remember hitting the strike zone. I think I threw 80 percent of my pitches for strikes.” Hoping to build on that junior season, he worked diligently on becoming a better pitcher than he was in 2011. “Rice did a good job preparing for his senior season by running, throwing and lifting,” Graffice said. Desiring to become an all-around baseball player, Rice also worked on his hitting during the offseason, hoping to improve at the plate. “I didn’t get to bat much last season, and I wanted to hit this year,” Rice explained. “I spent a lot of time working on my swing, taking as many cuts as I possible could.” That hard work was recognized by the coaching staff. Graffice let Rice bat in the first two games of the season, both wins over Salem, and he responded with one hit in each matchup, including a double in the opener. “We usually give our senior pitchers a chance to bat, so we put him in our scrimmages and he did a good job getting his bat on the ball,” Graffice said. “That continued in our first two games.” Rice was exposed to baseball at an early age. Josh Rice, his older brother, also played at the high school level. “My brother is almost 10 years older than me and I remember going to his games when I was 3, and I loved it,” Rice recounted. “I started playing when I was 4 and I love it.” With Rice and Jeramy Keane as the two ace right-handers last season, Alliance finished 20-6 and 10-4 in the North-

eastern Buckeye Conference. Keane, who lost his life in a one-vehicle accident last season, is physically gone, but he remains a source of inspiration. “I think about him and I have a picture of him hanging in my room,” Rice added. “We were pitching buddies.” Rice, who is one of eight returning lettermen from last year’s team, is also motivated to help Alliance post another good season. “We have good team chemistry and we have a lot of players who got experience last season,” Rice said. “We don’t have to depend on one guy. With eight lettermen back, all of us can step up.” Rice, one of the eight veterans, wants to step up his game, understanding there is no room for complacency. “I need to keep maturing mentally as a player and remain under control (when adversity strikes),” he concluded.

ALLLIANCE

Senior Nate Rice has made gradual strides as a pitcher during his threeyear varsity baseball career with the Alliance Aviators. “He’s done a good job learning how to spot his pitches,” Alliance head coach Jeff Graffice said. “He has also gotten better command of his fastball.” Rice, a 5-10, 170-pound right-hander who was 4-2 with a 1.81 ERA last season, picked up where he left off in the season opener against Salem at Craven Feld last Tuesday. Scattering two hits and no runs in six innings, Rice pitched Alliance to a 3-0 win, earning Male Athlete of the Week. “I threw OK against Salem, but I could have thrown more strikes,” Rice recalled. Sounding like a perfectionist, Rice threw 72 pitches in that win, 52 for strikes. He was overpowering from the start and finished with 12 strikeouts. “My fastball was good,” he said. “I threw it most of the game, but I also threw my other pitches.” Rice’s repertoire consists of a twoseam fastball, a four-seam fastball, a curve, slider and a changeup. He credits his development to Alliance pitching coach Tim Tasker. “He has been a great coach, working with me on my mechanics and my mental approach to the game,” Rice said. Rice, son of Kevin and Shelley Rice, earned a spot in the starting rotation last season but he made an impact as a reliever in a pressure-packed tournament game as a sophomore. Facing Marlington in a Division II postseason contest, Rice threw five shutout innings, giving Alliance a chance to win. “It was nerve-wracking getting called in to pitch in that game, but I learned how to handle difficult situations,” Rice said. While the Aviators lost that game, Rice laid the groundwork for the future.

WESTERN RESERVE

Western Reserve sophomore Gabby Stubbs began the season as an untested softball prospect. It’s only one week into the season, but she has made the transition from role player to starter. Stubbs, who plays both center field and left field, batted over .500 in her first five games for the Lady Devils, all wins. In the Irish Strikeout Cancer Classic at Cortland hosted by Youngstown Ursuline last Friday and Saturday, Stubbs highlighted her week with impact games in lopsided wins over Brookfield and St. Thomas Aquinas. Batting leadoff in each contest, she doubled, tripled, scored three runs and drove in two runs during a 16-5 win over Brookfield, then singled, homered and scored three times in a 15-5 win over St. Thomas. For her impact on a veteran team which has won 54 consecutive Inter-Tri-County League Lower Tier games, Stubbs was selected The Review Female Athlete of the Week. “We thought she would start, but she’s playing better than we thought,” Western Reserve head coach Laura Amero said. “She improved her foot speed, judges the ball much better and has hit the ball better.” It was easy for Stubbs, daughter of Don and Beth Stubbs, of Berlin Center, to gravitate toward softball. Her older sisters, Sissy and Maggie, also participated in the sport, perceding her to Western Reserve. “I’ve grown up around softball,” Gabby Stubbs said. “I started playing it in kindergarten and liked it immediately.” Sissy Stubbs currently is a senior starting pitcher and shortstop. Maggie Stubbs, who currently is attending Walsh University, graduated from Western Reserve last spring. She also played centerfield, creating a void her younger sister hopes to fill. “I have some big shoes to fills,” Gabby Stubbs smiled. “There’s some pressure to do well, because she was a great player. I just want to go out and do the best I can.” Sissy Stubbs is not only her older sister, but a source of encouragement. “She’s a good teammate who makes me strive to get better as a player,” Gabby Stubbs said. Gabby Stubbs believes in keeping busy, both in the athletic arena and in school. Softball is her third varsity sport, following volleyball and basketball. She also supports athletes as a cheerleader. Those athletic-oriented activities don’t interfere with her studies. She’s an A student who also also takes part in Student Council and Drama Club.

“Softball is my favorite activity, followed by cheerleading,” Gabby Stubbs said. “I like cheerleading because I try to always have a smile on my face and I can use my peppiness for encouragement. It’s also an activity none of my other family members have done, so it gives me a sense of individuality.” Gabby Stubbs’ individual line after five games for the Lady Devils are highlighted by a .526 batting average (10-for-19), with 10 runs scored, two doubles, one home run, three RBI and six stolen bases. “She not only is hitting over .500, but she has hit the ball hard consistently the first five games,” Amero said. “She has done a great job making contact, striking out only two times.” Stubbs sounded surprised and equally delighted with her home run against St. Thomas on a windy and chilly afternoon. “It was in the 30s when we were playing, but it felt like 100 degrees after I hit it,” said Stubbs, who added. “It was even greater, because it was the first of two consecutive home runs. Hannah Mowery came up and hit one after I did. That was great.” Amero kept Gabby Stubbs, a right-handed batter, in the leadoff spot in the batting order, but she has used her in both left field and centerfield. “I like playing them both, because the more positions you can play gives you an edge,” Stubbs admits diplomatically. “But I do like center field more. I get more balls hit to me.” Gabby Stubbs credits playing travel ball with the Ohio Magic last summer for her improvement and Amero, her English teacher, for steering the team in the right direction. “I was 15 years old playing on an 18-under team against great competition, and playing against great competition can only make you better,” Stubbs admits. “Coach (Amero) is a good teacher who loves to show us new drills to get better. She also is good at motivating us. She knows the right thing to say.” It’s only five games, but Gabby Stubbs has formed an early opinion on the secret formula to Western Reserve’s early-season success. “We have a special softball bond and very good team chemistry,” Stubbs smiled. “We just want to keep it going.”

Shocker: Drennen offers opinions at HOF Luncheon By MIKE KEATING The Review

CANTON TWP. — Filled with energy and pep, Cleveland bombastic gravel-voiced sports talk show host Bruce Drennen bounced into Tozzi’s Restaurant Monday, regaling the Pro Football Hall of Fame Club membership with memories and opinions. One tale dealt with the 1980 Cleveland Browns, known as the Kardiac Kids for taking part in several close games, including a 14-12 playoff loss to the Oakland Raiders at old Municipal Stadium. “I was assigned to cover the team’s return after they beat Cincinnati (to clinch the divisional title) and the only place I could hook up was at this airport terminal,” Drennen chuckled. “I could hear them (descending) the plane, but I couldn’t see the players or the coaches. I just said, ‘Here comes (kicker) Don Cockroft’ and “Here comes (head coach) Sam Rutigliano.’ I didn’t know who they were.” Drennen also worked with Joe Tait on Cleveland television doing Cleveland Indians baseball games for three seasons in the early 1980s. His recalled one event which transpired before he interviewed Cleveland starting pitcher Lenny Barker after his perfect game in 1981. “I was close to those pitchers and told them I’d get the first interview, if they pitch a no-hitter, or a perfect game,” Drennen recalled. “After Lenny got the final out, he came over to me. Some radio guy with one of those antiquated cassette recorder stepped in and I gave him an elbow to the side of the head an NBA power forward would have been proud of.” Drennen spent several minutes, taking questions, including several on the current Browns, who have posted a 68-141 record since joining the National Football League as an expansion franchise in 1999. He suggested what the Browns should do with the fourth overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. “I’d like to see them draft (Oklahoma State’s) Justin

Blackmon, because they need a talented wideout for (quarterback) Colt McCoy and to help (young wideout) Greg Little,” Drennen said. With that said, the Browns need to find a physicallygifted quarterback with a rifle arm. “I’m not sold on McCoy,” Drennen admitted. “There have been 46 Super Bowls. Of the Super Bowl champions, there have only been three without upper echelon quarterbacks: Jeff Hostetler (New York Giants), Trent Dilfer (Baltimore Ravens) and Brad Johnson (Tampa Bay).” However, he’s not sure Texas A&M signal-caller Ryan Tannehill is the answer with the team’s top draft choice. “If they draft him that high and he doesn’t make it, that choice could set the franchise back another five years,” Drennen said. Drennen insists the Browns need to address the offensive line. “I would like to see (Eric) Steinbach come back and I think they need a right guard,” Drennen said. “I’m not sold on (Shawn) Lauvao.” The Cleveland Indians are expected to improve, but Drennen isn’t predicting a playoff spot. “I feel their bullpen can match up with anybody, I feel they’re going to score more runs, the infield corners are like vacuum cleaners defensively and (four of their five starting pitchers) will be fine,” Drennen observed. “The key will be (Ubaldo) Jimenez. He has to come through.” Ohio State sophomore forward Jared Sullinger’s NBA potential drew a lukewarm response. “I think Sullinger’s stock has fallen,” Drennen said. “As an NBA power forward, he’s going to have to develop a consistent medium-range jumper.” Turning to Ohio State football, Drennen admits the bowl ban is good for first-year head coach Urban Meyer. “He’s going to need some time to get the players used to his system and the type of players he wants in that system, but 2013 could be a Cinderella season for the Buckeyes,” Drennen concluded.

Logan Nordquist, Ryan Nordquist’s younger brother, is a 6-2, 175-pound junior right-handed pitcher at Lake Erie College. Nordquist started three of his team’s first 21 games, losing both decisions, with a 6.75 ERA. West Branch graduate Mickey Manser, another lefthanded hitting catcher, has seen limited action at Ashland University.

Trojans From Page B1 Wellsville reliever, struggled with their command. They combined to throw 83 pitches, 30 for strikes. Thompson inserted freshman Geordon Roe in the third inning after Bowling walked Jake Hubbs with the bases loaded, forcing in a run to make it 9-0. Roe yielded a two-run single to Wagner, a run-scoring single to Baia and a sacrifice fly to Jake Arbitter, but he displayed much better command than his two predecessors. In the two innings he worked, Roe was charged with three runs. He also threw 28 pitches, 20 in the strike zone. “He got the ball over the plate,” Thompson said. “Even though Sebring hit him and they got some hits on fly balls we could have caught, he stayed composed.” Hurford, who walked three times, scored the only run Sebring needed in the first inning on a dropped fly ball by the Wellsville right-fielder. Jackson and Wagner drilled two-run singles to highlight the seven-run second inning. Wagner’s two-run single was the key hit in the five-run third inning. Hubbs added a run-scoring single in the fourth. Wagner, the next batter, knocked in the final run with a towering sacrifice fly to deep left.

Preservationist Steve Coon buys Canton church, eyeing it as art CANTON (AP) — From the outside, Trinity Lutheran Church is distinct and spiritually inspiring. Hand-chiseled sandstone covers the exterior. The rock was quarried from the Massillon area, with no two pieces alike. The words of a hymn by Martin Luther are carved into the stone facade: “A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD.” Inside the church, the character and architecture are even more impressive. A path of Italian marble leads to the altar. Most visually stunning is a massive stained-glass window, comprising 1,500 individual pieces and bejeweled with a rainbow of colors. The window depicts Jesus blessing young children. Steve Coon, a local developer and preservationist, considers the illuminated stained-glass window and the entire church to be works of art. That’s the reason he purchased the building, which closed last year due to declining membership. The chapel will be rented out for wedding services. “When you walk through it ... it has the awe factor,” said Coon, owner of Coon Restoration & Sealants in Nimishillen Township. “I felt if I didn’t (acquire it) there’s nobody else coming forward to say I’d like to buy that,” he said. “It was just too good of a church and had too good of bones to walk away from — I had a responsibility.” Coon also has sentimental ties to the church. As a teenager, he cleaned the sandstone at Trinity Lutheran, working for a restoration business in the summer. Chuck Schuster, managing partner of the Canton Club Event Center, will book the weddings while offering to

The altar and Tiffany window at Trinity Lutheran Church are seen in Canton. Steve Coon, a local developer and preservationist, has purchased the church, which closed last year due to declining membership. Coon considers the building a work of art and plans to rent the chapel out for wedding services. cater receptions at the historic Canton Club in Chase Tower in downtown Canton. “It really made sense,” said Coon, who owns or part-owns some other downtown properties, including Chase Tower and the former Martin Luther Lutheran Church site on Walnut Avenue Northeast. “Now we’re a one-stop church.” Schuster agrees. “We just felt it was a natural tie-in with the historical nature of the Canton Club and the historical nature of the church.” The building will continue to house Urban Ark, a combined ministry of several churches that serves area needy. Trinity Lutheran was designed by the late Guy Tilden, who also was the architect of the Case Mansion and the former Carnegie Library,

which now houses the Schulman Zimmerman & Associates law firm in downtown Canton. Completed in 1886, Trinity Lutheran was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1980s. The sanctuary holds about 350 people. Prior to closing, the church averaged about 40 people at Sunday services, said Bob Shope, a former member and church council president. Shope will be the wedding coordinator. Pointed arched doorways connect the narthex to the chapel. An abundance of stained glass is sprinkled throughout the church, including rose windows. Hand-carved oak pews creak when you sit down. Stations of the Cross grace the walls. Twin pulpits are

agement. “The preliminary production for all the wells on the gas side is very high,” Simmers said. Companies, including Chesapeake, have drilled 38 other wells that have yet to report production. Ohio has issued about 150 permits for Utica Shale wells in Ohio. By contrast, the state has about 49,000 traditional gas wells reporting production of about 73 billion cubic feet in 2011. The figures continue to fuel Chesapeake’s optimism about the formation, spokesman Keith Fuller said in a statement. “The data reported, while promising, is still very limited and only a small part of the information needed to gauge the potential of the entire formation,” he added. The data reported Monday involves wells drilled using a method dubbed “fracking,” in which thousands of gallons of chemically laced water are blasted into shale deposits, freeing natural gas trapped in the layers of shale. The natural gas reported Monday includes both “dry” gas that can be distributed

almost immediately to gas companies for home and business use, and “wet” gas that includes other proponents such as butane and propane that must be stripped out, Simmers said. Eastern Ohio is in the midst of a natural gas boom as developers seek to capture rights to Utica Shale deposits. Last month, BP announced it had leased 84,000 acres of land in the Utica/Point Pleasant shale formation in northeast Ohio for oil and gas production. The Utica Shale lies below the Marcellus Shale, where oil companies in Pennsylvania have drilled thousands of wells in search of natural gas and, more recently, oil. Also last month, Chesapeake announced a $900 million project for gathering, compression and processing of natural gas and natural gas liquids. The project will roll out over five years, with parts of the complex scheduled to begin operations by June 2013. Decisions by Chesapeake and BP to develop in Ohio come despite a proposal by Republican Gov. John Kasich to hike the taxes that

Gothically styled and constructed of Italian marble. A baptismal font is made of stone. Romanesque columns, swirled with greenish-brown hues, guard the altar, fronted by shiny brass railing that opens and closes like a gate. For wedding purposes, the church will be known as Historic Trinity Chapel. The rental fee is $875, which includes use of the sound system (the behemoth pipe organ once housed there was purchased by an Akron church and removed), cleanup services, rehearsal time and a wedding coordinator, Schuster said. The rental fee does not include a minister. Wedding couples can select a pastor or ask Schuster for a referral.

oil and gas drillers pay for extracting the state’s natural resources. Ohio’s oil and gas association has criticized Kasich’s plan as a potential turnoff to drilling activity. The governor wants to use the proceeds to fund a modest statewide income tax reduction beginning in 2016.

MAMA SPIVEY 4-3-14 • 3-10-06

Hi Mom it’s me again, Today is your birthday and you will be celebrating - but not here as we do, you will be spending your birthday home with the Blessed Mother, Jesus, your parents and your soul group from all our previous lifetimes. This will be ninety-eight years, can you imagine the big one they will throw her? My mother transitioned home on March 10, 2006, just days after my last visit with her at my sister’s house. As she transitioned home she left us all with a huge hole in our hearts and lives, one that will never be filled in this lifetime by another like her. Mamie still looks for you Christine still misses you too. Frank & Charles may be far way, But you are in their thoughts everyday. We know you are not alone, because your daughter, and our sister Della May, has already been called home. I remember all the time we spent together. Those are the moments I will treasure forever. We miss you and wish you were still here. Happy birthday, dearest Mom! Love - Betty Happy Birthday Darling FRED R. HUNSICKER 4/3/1930 - 9/14/2008

Gas well snapshot shows high-producing Ohio wells COLUMBUS (AP) — Natural gas wells using the drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing are producing at a much higher rate than traditional wells, according to the first look at production figures from nine active wells in the Utica Shale formation in eastern Ohio. Figures reported Monday by Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp. show five wells in eastern Ohio producing 2.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas in 2011. The other four wells produced hundreds of barrels of oil but are not in natural gas production yet, according to Chesapeake. The report, which Chesapeake provided to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, shows one well in Harrison County producing 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas, or 2 percent of the state’s entire natural gas production. Put another way, that well has 300 times more in daily production than the average well drilled vertically into the ground, said Rick Simmers, chief of ODNR’s Division of Oil and Gas Resources Man-

FORECAST FOR APRIL 3, 2012

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Fame and fortune can be yours this year, especially if you are the kind of Aries who is willing to put yourself in the spotlight. There may be a few boos from your rivals but they will be drowned by all the applause. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You are in the mood to travel, socialize and have a good time. You may benefit professionally too because new contacts will make it easier to break into social circles where

there is money to be made. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): As an Earth sign you enjoy the good things in life, and with your ruling planet Venus moving into the money area of your chart today you’ll be able to afford them too. You can’t have too many shiny, sparkly things! GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): Whatever changes take place over the next 24 hours you can be sure they will work in your favor, at least in the long-term. With Venus now moving into your birth sign your prospects look bright. So

smile. CANCER (June 22 - July 23): You need to sit down quietly, away from other people, and decide what your priorities are going to be. And you need to decide before the moon is full on the 6th. After that date it won’t be so easy. LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23): Make an effort to get out into the world and meet people today. Someone you encounter on your travels will be lucky for you in the not-too-distant future. You can never have too many friends. VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): This is an excellent time to show someone in a position of power that you have what it takes to succeed. But don’t overdo it — you don’t want them thinking you are after their job, especially if you are! LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): You are hugely optimistic about the future, and with good reason. As Venus, your ruler, moves into one of the best areas of your chart you can sense that something remarkable is going to happen — and soon. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): Steer clear of extremes today, especially extremes of emotion. Like most Scorpios you harbor a few secret grudges but this is not the time to make them public. If you’re smart you’ll find ways to get over them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): The people you meet today, both socially and at work, will go out of their way to be nice to you. Respond in kind and show everyone what a bighearted Sag you are. It’s love that makes the world go round. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): You may be tempted to push yourself harder and take on more responsibilities but is that really such a good idea? Venus in the well-being area of your chart urges you to ease up a bit over the next few days. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19): Anything of a creative or artistic nature is under exceedingly good stars at the moment, so believe in yourself and what you are doing and before you know it you may be something of a star yourself. PISCES (Feb. 20 - March 20): Let fate take its course and don’t try to change things that are best left alone. That applies to all areas of your life but particularly to family matters. Be there for loved ones if they need you, but don’t interfere. Discover more about yourself at sallybrompton. com

West Branch students who will perform vocal classical solos at Wednesday’s spring concert, from left, are junior Eric Briggs, junior Valerie Weingart, senior Julia Harris and senior Evan Park.

West Branch to present spring concert Wednesday The West Branch Choral Department singers will perform classical choral works, solo recital arias and small ensemble selections at their annual spring concert at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the West Branch community auditorium. The Choral Department has produced three successful musicals this year and has a good reputation for putting on excellent shows. “We hope to present to the public a concert that shows the students at West Branch are trained musically and perform classic vocal works with as much enthusiasm and talent as they do when they are actors and singers on the stage,” said choral director John Zamarelli. “This concert seems to get lost in the shuffle of the yearly schedule of events but probably shows off the vocal skills of the students in the program the most.” Over the past year the department has offered the students the opportunity to take private voice lessons. Some students are studying at Mount Union or other studios but it is hard for some to get there so the department has secured a voice teacher to come to the school one night a week to work with the students. Private study has really taken off and the students are

Rodman sets April Lapsit schedule

The children’s department at Rodman Public Library will host Lapsit during the month of April. Patrons ages 2 and 3 years old are invited to Lapsit Monday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. Topics will include music, frog friends, turtle tales, drip drop and wonderful worms. Lapsit is held in the children’s program room at the main library. Sessions last 20 to 30 minutes. Children must be accompanied by an adult. No registration is required. Come as often as you can. For more information, call the children’s department at 330-821-2665, ext. 224.

RPL sets April Storytime Rodman Public Library will host Storytime for 4-6 year olds in April. Patrons may attend Storytime on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. or Thursday mornings from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. Topics will include eggs, pigs, socks and shoes and Fish. The goal of Storytime is to encourage life-long readers through stories, music, movement and activities. Preregistration is not required. For more information, call the library at 330-821-2665, ext. 224.

learning vocal technique, which is obvious when they perform art songs and arias. Many students are working on selections for the Solo and Ensemble Contest, which will be held in May. The program will include The Warrior Women’s Chorus, a group of 75 girls that meet daily. “It is really nice to have a class of all women because specific vocal issues shared by all females can be addressed,” said Zamarelli. “Members of the Women’s Chorus span from the ninth to the 12th grade so these girls can actually help each other to reach vocal goals.” This group will perform “Kumbaya” arranged by Paul Sjolund, “He’s Gone Away” arranged by Ruth Elaine Schram, “The Last Blue Rose” arranged by Vicki Tucker Courtney and John Parker, and “Witness”arranged by Kirby Shaw. The second group to perform in the concert will be the Warrior Men’s Chorus. Most high schools have a difficult time recruiting male voices but this is not the case at West Branch. This group has 60 plus male singers. The men’s group is the most amazing group” said Zamarelli. “Many are ath-

letes, members of the vocational agriculture department, the band and those who excel academically.” This group will perform “Bound for Jubilee” by Joyce Eileers, “Loch Lomond” arranged by Greg Gilpin, “If I Have My Ticket“ arranged by Don Moore, and “Man of La Mancha” arranged by Kirby Shaw. The last group to perform will be the West Branch Concert Choir. This group comprises upper classmen and is a traditional SATB ensemble. The Concert Choir comprises men and women and studies all types of choral literature. At this concert most of the pieces are a cappella and difficult to sing. This group is the most experienced group of singers at West Branch and will perform “Sanctus Dominus” by Neukomm, “All At Once Well Met Fair Ladies” arranged by Joseph Graham, “Heleluyan” by Jerry Ulrich, and “Jubilate Alleluia” by Mary Lynn Lightfoot. The program also includes many soloists performing classical art songs and arias. Some are traditional folk songs, and others are spirituals and opera arias in French, Italian and German. The program is free of charge and open to the public.

Salem Aglow to welcome speaker Salem Lighthouse of Aglow International will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course, 374 Homeworth Road, Alliance. Cost is $8 and includes lunch. Speaker will be Polly Givens, a 1979 graduate of Mercy School of Nursing in Canton, who will graduate from The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in nursing in June. She worked at Mercy Medical Center for 20 years and Alliance Community Hospital for seven years. She has been at Alliance Pregnancy Center for five years working as nurse manager, four of those years also as executive director. Givens married her husband, Bob Givens, 28 years ago and has five children and 13 grandchildren. She lives on a farm in Bergholz with two dogs, a flock of neurotic chickens, a couple of goats and some cattle. Their nextdoor neighbors are the beard-cutting Amish. They “homestead,” growing a lot of their own food and living the good country life. She attends Herrington Bethel United Methodist Church in Mechanicstown and has been a Christian for 26 years. In her spare time, she loves to read, knit, spend time with her kids and grandkids and watch her Ohio State team play football. Givens will talk about how real people live in the real world and flesh out the gospel in everyday life. Members are asked to bring items for the Pregnancy Center to the meeting. Donations needed include baby clothing (up to size 2T), diapers, baby wipes, baby care items, baby nail clippers, pacifiers, breast pads, baby bath towels, laundry baskets, baby safe laundry detergents, baby formula and personal care items for mom.

R-Weigh groups meet The R-Weigh weight groups met Monday at Faith Chapel church in Salem and lost 24 pounds for the week. The good losers at the afternoon meeting were Joyce Sanders and Irene Havert. The goalie for the week was Patty Mills. A low-fat, low-calorie luncheon was provided by the January, February and March birthday members. Team one beat team two in the final basketball game 11 to 10 and the scoring members received a monetary award. The evening good losers were Marian Long and Sarah Nelson. Peggy Kurtz was the goalie for the week and Ruth Miller received the birthday award. Roni Fauver, a member of the day group, was the guest speaker at the night meeting, telling of her very successful weight loss of 52 pounds in six months without a gain. She has been five or more pounds below goal for a year. Team one beat team two in the final basketball game 23 to 20 and scoring members received a monetary award. An Easter egg contest began Monday for both groups. Losing members will be given a good egg with a dollar in it, staying the same members will be given a cracked egg with an inspiration quote in it and gaining members will be given a bad egg with a consequence in it that they will do at the meeting. New members are welcome and can call 330-332-1078 for more information.

WB Ladies Ruritan hear about coyotes The West Branch Area Ladies Ruritan met March 20 at the North Georgetown fire hall. Shirley Henschen introduced speaker Matt Brown from the Columbiana Soil and Water Conservation District. He spoke on coyotes in the area. They can be found by finding their scat, howls and tracks. They eat rodents, berries, raccoons, stray cats, eggs, rabbits and 17 percent of the fawns. They breed in February and deliver in April. Sixty percent of the pups don’t survive. A solitary coyote works around a 25-mile area. Managing possibilities include: don’t feed, no loose pets, shouting and throwing things at them. President Patty Marty asked Viola Blanchard to give a summary of the National Convention in Raleigh, N. C. A memorial service was done on the first night, with flags displayed from all over the United States. There were many classes she could attend. A motto for all members is “R: Ruritan — that’s what we are; U: Can’t be done without you; R: Remember what we’re about; I: Is in the middle, you’re surrounded; T: Teamwork; A: Applause by a team please; N: Nonsense — let’s work.” The next National Convention will be in January in Kentucky. The group had a bake sale March 24, while the Damascus Ruritans had Swiss steak dinner at West Branch High School. The 60th Ohio spring banquet will be April 24 at the Amish Door Restaurant. The next meeting will be at 2 p.m. April 17 at the fire hall. Any guests are welcome.

Emergency contraception update

Each year, more than 4 million women give birth in this country. Approximately half of those pregnancies are unplanned. Each year, there are approximately 750,000 teenage pregnancies, some 85 percent of which are unintentional. More than half of those teenage pregnancies could have been prevented by using emergency contraception (EC). Just remember, women and men 17 years of age and older can buy EC over the counter, without a prescription. Those 16 and younger require a prescription. During the heat of passionate sex, a condom may break, he isn’t using a condom at all or he forces himself on her and rapes her. Regardless of how it happens, women and men need to know emergency contraception is available, how to get it and what to expect after taking the little pill. However, the little pill may not always be as readily available as we think. A recent study published in the April issue of Pediatrics examined the availability of emergency contraception in five major cities. Using a standardized script, callers posed as a 17-year-old seeking emergency contraception and as a physician treating a 17-year-old. The authors found that 80 percent of pharmacies stated they had emergency contraception in stock on the day of the call. But 19 percent told adolescent callers they would not sell emergency contraception to them under any circumstances because of their age. On the other hand, only 3 percent of physician callers were told the same thing when calling the same pharmacies and asking the same question. In general, adolescent callers were put on hold more often and spoke less often to a pharmacist. The authors concluded misinformation creates a bar-

rier to timely access to emergency contraception. By law, a 17-year-old female or male can indeed buy emergency contraception over the counter, without a prescription. And you don’t have to sign a log like you do when you purchase a product containing pseudoephedrine. Can pharmacies sell EC to a man? An older sister of a 16-year-old? A woman who is buying it “just in case”? Yes. The FDA does not specify that the product must be sold to the intended user. The only requirements to purchase Plan B One-Step, Next Choice and Levonorgestrel Tablets directly from the pharmacist are that the buyer is 17 or older and can show proof of age. What is emergency contraception? Emergency contraception is birth control that prevents pregnancy after sex, which is why it is sometimes called “the morning after pill,” “the day after pill” or “morning after contraception.” You can use EC right away — or up to five days after sex — if you think your birth control failed, you didn’t use contraception or you were forced to have sex. EC makes it much less likely you will get pregnant. But emergency contraception is not as effective as birth control that’s used before or during sex, like the pill or condoms. So if you are sexually active or planning to be, don’t use emergency contraception as your only protection against pregnancy. Remember too, EC does not protect against sexu-

ally transmitted infections, like HIV. Only condoms do. How does EC work? Emergency contraception pills prevent pregnancy primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation and inhibiting fertilization. They may also inhibit implantation of a fertilized egg in the wall of the uterus. There is no evidence that EC interferes with a pregnancy once it has started. In other words, EC will not cause an abortion. What’s the difference between EC and the abortion pill? The abortion pill, also known as mifepristone or RU-486, works differently than ECs such as ella, Plan B One-Step, Next Choice and Levonorgestrel Tablets, which are approved for sale as emergency contraception in this country. Mifepristone, which is sold under the brand name Mifeprex, is taken after a pregnancy has started, meaning a fertilized egg has implanted in the uterus. It stops pregnancy from continuing, resulting in an early abortion or miscarriage. The drug is approved for this purpose in the United States and many other countries. A further thought: Princeton University has created a terrific website (http:// ec.princeton.edu/emergency-contraception.html) devoted exclusively to emergency contraception. For example, it explains how birth control pills can be used for emergency contraception when all else fails. The site has an answer for almost any question you can think of about EC.

annual “regular” pre- concert lecturer for the Canton Symphony. For the program M.J. went exploring in his vast CD collection to create “A Star Spangled Celebration of American Patriotic Music.” He loves to talk about both music and art and never disappoints his audience. In the early colonies there were only two kinds of music traditions: hymns and folk songs. “Chester” William Billings wrote four or five volumes of hymns. “Hail Columbia” nearly became our national anthem. The “Star-Spangled Banner” was written on the back of an envelope by Francis Scott Key. It was not chosen as our national anthem until 1931. The Civil War was the most musical of the wars in the world. George F. Root wrote “Battle Cry of Freedom” which was very much a crowd pleaser. It includes the words “rally round the flag, boys.” While many songs were morbid and sad, good songs came from the Confederacy. Among them were “The Battle of San Juan Hill” and Stephen Foster’s “Old Folks at Home.” He ended his program with the song Irving Berlin first wrote in 1918 that was promptly rejected. In 1938 the beloved Kate Smith sang “God Bless America” on the radio. She had perfect pitch and the rendition became one of America’s all-time favorites. Still today 100 percent of its royalties are donated to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America. Albacete’s sharing of his vast personal musical collection was well received by his appreciative audience. His program was both interesting and informative. Due to the Easter weekend services there will be no Ladies’ Night Out in April. The next Ladies’ Night Out will be May 3 when Sue Grove, Carnation Festival Board vice president and third-year chairman of the Queen’s Pageant Committee, will present the

program. She will discuss “Behind the Curtain: The Crowning of a Carnation Queen.” The program is open to the public, especially young women desiring to learn more about how it all really happens on that night of nights. For more information, contact Melinda Kinser at the Alliance Woman’s Club at 330-823-5150.

College Club to welcome husband-and-wife team On April 21, the husband-and-wife team of Raeed Tayeh and Ruwaida Salem will offer the College Club of Canton a unique and personal perspective on the Muslim tradition.

He is an established author, has been an independent political and media consultant, and has contributed op-eds on U.S. Middle East policy and MuslimAmerican affairs to major U.S. newspapers. Salem, with a bachelor’s degree in dietetics and a master’s in public health, has dedicated 10 years to improvement of women’s health in the developing world. She works as senior technical writer for Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs. The meeting will be held at Skyland Pines, 3550 Columbus Road, N.E., Canton. Doors open at 9:30 a.m.; the continental breakfast is at 10 a.m. and the program at 10:30 a.m. Nonmembers wishing to attend should call Laura at 330-833-7690 for a reservation.
