STRUTHERS -- Readers across the state will get a look at the city in the July/August issue of Cities & amp; Villages, a magazine published by The Journal of the Ohio Municipal League. The cover photograph of Yellow Creek Park was shot and submitted to the magazine by Mayor Dan Mamula. Inside, a half-page article describes the park, the city, its schools and businesses.

Mamula said he contacted the magazine's editor about featuring Struthers. "This is the only time we've ever been featured in a magazine," he said.

Cities & amp; Villages is a 10,000-circulation publication mailed primarily to city halls, government officials and some private citizens.
