The Hubbard Vol. Fire Department will be having their 20th annual spaghetti dinner May 8th 4-8 pm. This will take place at :the Globe Restaurant in the Truck World Mall. The dinner includes: soup, salad, Texas toast, ice cream, a beverage and of course that DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI! All for $6.50 each. Takeouts are available. All The money raised during the 4 hours goes towards the Fire Dept.. We will use it for community and school education on fire safety and also continuing education to keep us trained to the highest level. The money we raise does not go to the Eagle Joint Fire District. What is the Eagle Joint Fire District? The district was formed on January 1st 2008 to help with the structure of the fire department. The Fire Department will no longer have to negotiate with the city & Township on issues such as equipment ,budget, contracts, and maintenance. It also helps with Federal and State grants. The District has a resident from the city and from the township that sits on the board, more accountability. The district will operate similar to the Hubbard Union Cemetery and Community Parks. The firefighters would like to thank all of our supporters and we hope to see you at the spaghetti dinner.

As summer approaches learning should continue.  Forum, March/April 2008. Volume XX), Issue 2 offers the following:
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer.  Research spanning 100 years shows that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of the summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer.
Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months.  Low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement, despite the fact that their middle-class peers make slight gains.
Two-thirds of the achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities.  As a result, low-income youth are less likely to graduate from high school or enter college.
As summer approaches, it is not uncommon for parents to wonder what they can do to provide an environment at home that is enriched with learning and discovery activities.  Fortunately, the internet provides parents with unfettered access to many resources.  For parents who do not have internet access at home, public libraries provide free internet access.
Although many of the things you already do are contributing to your child's learning in the home - reading, writing, singing, storytelling, game playing, and in the community, trips to museums and zoos and cultural events.  Wouldn't it be great to combine these two experiences, meaning bringing the museum or the cultural event into your home?
Many museums have online exhibits or programs that students can experience from home.  The Smithsonian, for example, has many different activities on their website for exploring other cultures and their traditions.  You and your child can learn together and from each other during your free time at home.  The Smithsonian website is: http://folklife.si.edu/explore/online_exhibitions.html

Cover the Uninsured Week Draws Attention

HMHP Plans Activities to Help the Uninsured
The problem of the uninsured is continuing to grow. The federal government estimates that 47 million individuals lacked health insurance coverage of any kind during 2006.
Nearly 20 percent of uninsured Americans - 8.7 million individuals - are children. Health insurance is particularly important for children. Uninsured children are more likely than insured children to lack a source of health care, to go without needed care and to experience worse health outcomes.
In an effort to draw attention to this national crisis, April 27 through May 3 has been designated Cover the Uninsured Week, a nonpartisan campaign to focus attention on the need to secure health coverage for all Americans.
Helping Kids Get Covered
Locally, Humility of Mary Health Partners' St. Joe's at the Mall will distribute Cover the Uninsured Week materials, as well as a flier detailing the application process for enrolling children in SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program). A representative from the Mahoning Valley Covering Kids Coalition will be at St. Joe's at the Mall on the following dates to assist parents in enrolling their children in SCHIP:
· May 9 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
· May 15 from 1 to 4 p.m.
· May 24 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
· May 29 from 1 to 4 p.m.
St. Joe's at the Mall is located in the Eastwood Mall, Niles, next to Sears.
Men's Health Tune-up
St. Elizabeth Health Center will sponsor a health screening program for uninsured men ages 40 to 64 from 8 to 11 a.m. June 7 at the St. Elizabeth Family Health Center, 1053 Belmont Ave., Youngstown, across from St. Elizabeth Health Center.
