HUBBARD TOWNSHIP — Cathy Jones has no place to stay and is not sure of her plans after her Homewood Avenue home went up in flames late Tuesday evening.
Jones, her children and other kids from the neighborhood were on the front porch or in the front yard as the thick smell of smoke hung in the air. The fire had broken out at her home in the 3000 block of Homewood Avenue just before 11 p.m.
One thing Jones was sure of is she needs clothes and food. But she had no idea where she or her kids will be staying Wednesday evening.

My husband hates broccoli. He hates it to the point that even as I offered him a $20 bill in one hand and a small broccoli sprout in the other, he still wouldn’t take a bite. In fact, there are a lot of things he won’t eat, most of them in the vegetable food group and as he gets older, the list keeps getting longer. When we were first married and I began to really learn his particular food habits, I thought he was spoiled. His parents never told him to clean his plate, nor did he ever sit in his chair for an entire evening, missing his favorite TV shows until he was able to get that last bite of peas down his throat. Unlike my house, where I once gagged down a spoonful of creamed, pearl onions to stay out of trouble, if he didn’t like it, he didn’t have to eat it. End of story. But everyone knows as we get older, our taste buds mellow. Most of us will eat things we didn’t like as a child.

Extra police
Fri, July 23, 2010 @ 4:49PM
Don't look, but this month there have been a lot of extra police on the streets in Warren. Between Weed & Seed patrols and traffic enforcement and DUI checkpoints, the department has been able to beef up its presence somewhat thanks to grant funding and other programs that help pay for overtime. Two other officers are also set to come back shortly, which can also be a help. And there are extra patrols as part of either the VGRIP or the US Marshals that no one ever seems to want to talk about. This is a good month for that trend to take place because of the warm, dry weather that makes it easier for criminals to operate. Of course, it would be better to have the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office help out with some of the Weed & Seed patrols, as their counterparts did in Mahoning County from time to time. Hopefully, that is something that can be worked out in the futur.

Rolling Stone Ron Wood coming to Youngstown
Tue, July 27, 2010 @ 10:15AM
Best known as a guitar player with the Rolling Stones, Ron Wood is coming to Butler Institute of American Art in September to display his talent as an artist. "Ronnie Wood: Paintings, Drawings and Prints’’ will open Sept. 21 with a meet-the-artist reception at the Youngstown museum from 8 to 10 p.m. Invitations will be mailed to Butler members, and others may request an invitation by calling 330-743-1107 ext. 210. Wood is an accomplished painter who frequently draws inspiration from his bandmates, musicial influences and contemporaries as subject matter. I first discovered Wood was an artist when my wife and I were in San Francisco in 1991. We happened to be staying near the gallery that represents him and ended up buying one of his signed prints, a portrait of Chuck Berry that perfectly captured the duality of the true king of rock ‘n’ roll. Wood has been painting and drawing since age 12, even longer than he has been playing guita.

In on time
Mon, July 26, 2010 @ 12:46PM
The Browns officially open training camp Friday when veterans join the rookies, most of whom reported last Friday. With the signing of second-round pick Montario Hardesty Monday, just two draft choices remain unsigned -- first-round pick Joe Haden and T.J. Ward, another second-round choice. It's important for all the draft picks to be in when the veterans arrive. This is a team with plenty of holes to fill, which means potential early contributions from Haden, Ward and Hardesty. Haden has a chance to start at cornerback opposite either Eric Wright or Sheldon Brown. Ward's chances of starting immediately are even better because of the lack of hard-hitting safeties on the roster -- there are none, to be honest. Hardesty, who had a big season as Tennessee's featured running back last season, will compete for time with Jerome Harrison. These rookies are lucky in that they might be members of the last draft class to sign lucrative deals.

Aftermath of The Decision
Fri, July 9, 2010 @ 3:11AM
I hate to admit it, but I watched LeBron James make his decision on ESPN on Thursday night. After news began leaking late Wednesday night and early Thursday that James was leaning toward the Miami Heat, I knew it didn't look good for the Cavaliers' chances of keeping the two-time NBA MVP. Here are a few thoughts now that we've had a few hours to digest James' decision to leave the Cavaliers to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami: 1. James should have spared Cavaliers fans all these weeks of waiting. He should have been up front with owner Dan Gilbert and the fans here, since he clearly had no intention of re-signing. It's one thing to string along the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets. It was another to toy with the emotions of long-suffering fans Cleveland fans. James could have had his ego boost without pretending the Cavaliers had a shot. 2. Gilbert's open letter to Cavaliers fans was must-read material.

Motorcycle safety and training
Fri, July 23, 2010 @ 3:57PM
I'm going back to class. But this time, it's all about motorcycles. It's a training and safety course taught at the Kent State-Trumbull campus. It doesn't cost much, just $25, and will be money well spent. It's about 16 hours long in all. It combines classroom training with hands-on training, and they supply the motorcycle. I've been riding motorcycles since I was a kid, beginning with my little Honda SL70, them to a bigger dirt bike, then a few other street bikes. I gave it up for a few years, but eventually I was lured back. I consider myself an experienced rider, but this course might tell me if I've been doing it correctly all these years. One thing I have noticed over the years is that it seems to get more and more dangerous. The deer at night have always been there, I know. The driver wanting to turn left in front of you? I know that, too. Or the guy backing out of the driveway, ditto.
