The new addition to the Women's Park in downtown Warren arrived last Friday. She's a beautiful young woman holding a book behind her to represent all women and their dreams. The park is a perfect setting with benches around the area so one can come sit and think of all the inspiring women that have touched so many lives. There will be an official dedication of the statue on May 18th at 2 p.m. with refreshments following at the Upton House. The park is sponsored and kept up by the Upton House Association members.

Please show your support for the Kaluza family

Joseph Kaluza was the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken, going about his daily routine, when two people deliberately set him up, all for $300 bucks. Now, Kaluza is paralyzed from the neck down.
Life for the Kaluza family has changed. A proud father of two handicapped children, Joseph is now left a paraplegic. Kaluza was shot in the neck for a lousy $306 he was going to deposit from the Kentucky Fried Chicken he managed.
Doctors say Joseph will never walk again. 
With all they're going through right now, the Kaluza family could use your financial help. If you would like to donate money to help with their medical costs, you can do so at any Huntington Bank Branch. Just tell them you'd like to give to the Joseph Kaluza fund.
To date, $18,000 has been donated by the community to help the Kaluza family. Money has been raised through Boy Scout and hair cut fund raisers, as well as having a Kaluza Day at the KFC on South Ave. in Boardman where all proceeds that day were donated to the family.
Both suspects in the robbery/shooting have been arrested.
The Kaluza family is going through a difficult time, any help and support can only brighten the spirits of the family.

There is usually an adjustment period experienced by freshmen as they struggle with the heightened expectations of their professors in college. Students' skill in reading, writing and research are critical to the level of success they will reach. There aren't many fill in the blank tests in college. Students are expected
Stuto translate thoughts into written words on most assessments. This is why it's called Higher Education.
The Honors English program at the TCTC is designed with an eye to this reality. The students engage in critical thinking activities where the emphasis on writing/reading is intensive. Here is what some of our present and former students had to say about the program:
Courtney Barnett, a 2006 graduate who is currently a student enrolled at Kent State University, believes Honors English greatly improved her communication skills. "Before taking the Honors program, I used to dread English class.  I did not feel that my knowledge of the subject was adequate for college. We worked hard in Honors everyday, but it was worth it. We learned how to organize information in a logical and sequential manner. I was very proud of the research paper I produced in class. The skills
