One student's school project turns into a community initiative.
The one thing lacking at the Lake County Fairgrounds is landscaping. That was changed Saturday when 15-year-old Jenelle Brodzik of Wadsworth orchestrated some 50 volunteers to plant hundreds of trees, shrubs and perennials. “The gravel pits and the barns need color and greenery. Much of the area needs growth and life,” Brodzik said. The Warren Township High School Sophomore chose the beautification initiative for her community service project mandatory for her advanced placement government and politics class. “We want our students to become informed and active on an issue with a community service component,” said Michele Bertola, Brodzik’s teacher. “We expect the AP students to become leaders, and Jenelle is definitely doing that.” Brodzik…

Had a great time at the fair as we always have but the demo derbies are probably the worst run I have ever seen. The track crew is the pits and the rent-a-cops are useless!!. People would stand along the fence blocking the view of the people in the stands and th security staff just stood there, if you complained they gave you a hard time and threatened to throw you out. We loved the activities … more ›
