This is a program in Youngstown that well deserves kudos. Even if you don't have someone nominated, it is really an inspiring evening to learn about the young people that are setting the standards for the future of the Mahoning Valley. These are people who don't complain, they DO something to make a change. Bloom where you are planted and be proud of your town and thank you to the Community Foundation for all the good that you do!
@Assis, whoops, Attis...You are aware (nope) there is a difference between abuse and neglect. Having a child in a loving home (lots of children born to a male and a female are living with the mother and don't even know the father - LOTS..check out the welfare stats) is not abuse but rather eliminates the neglect of a child being raised without love. Do you even KNOW any same sex couples with children? Check into it and you'll eat those nasty words...better yet, try an honest religion that promotes love...not your venom. That's all folks!
Oh I don't know...I got a Good Citizenship award in 3rd grade (hangs in my office along with the 4th grade best writing). That was so long ago. I say congrats to the young people. Happy day for them, not at all sad!
@USNBOY413 I must say your comment floored me. Be grateful that your life is going well. Who knows the reasons these people couldn't pay their gas bill. Illness? Lost jobs? Disability? Medical bills? Elderly? Why, why, why are we so quick to make negative judgements without knowing the whole story. 12 days before Christmas and they lost everything. You are right they are losers in that regard. No one ever helped you...good for you, but sometimes helping others or having compassion (regardless of who or why they suffer hard times) is much more rewarding. Try it sometime.
I vote for McNally. He was politically dragged through the mud as so often tends to happen in any political system. He is a good honest man who is here for our area and would be an exceptional mayor...should he decide to run. I would support him totally.
@Stan - Would you PLEASE consider moving or getting a job. Thanks a lot! Crime happens everywhere, btw. You need to look beyond the mask of Hulk Hogan...that alone belies the fact you believe you do not live in a fantasy world but one of reality. He is a character, Stan, albeit one you embrace. Get real...you are NOT making a difference. - From one of the positive people of Y-Town.

McNally’s seat draws lots of attention

Just look at that detail. They don't make houses like that anymore.

What a great idea and grateful for preserving such a work of art. I like it when positive things are being done and not destroyed. Thanks, Tom!
