Orchids and Onions
l ORCHID: To Matthew Szorady of Braceville, Justin Jenkins of Leavittsburg and Kyle Nolan of Florida, who quickly helped a woman whose curtains had caught fire last week. The trio was playing basketball at the Braceville courts when they heard screaming at a nearby home. The men alerted residents to get out and removed the curtains and extinguished the flames.
l ONION: To Daniel Gwinn, 22, of Mecca, who pleaded guilty last week to stealing over $1,000 from his elderly grandpa. Shameful!
l ORCHID: To Trumbull-Ashtabula Group drug task force members who operated “Operation: Empty Medicine Cabinet” this week, and other sponsors Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention Opiate Task Force, Trumbull County Mental Health and Recovery Board and the Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District.
l ORCHID: To the organizers and participants in local events marking the National Day of Prayer on Thursday. There can never be enough prayer in the world.
