A handful of students at Sam Boardman Elementary School in Boardman recently pedaled away on new bikes.
Five students received the bicycles as part of the Masons Tuscan Lodge #136 AF&AM's Bikes for Books program. Those receiving bikes were Fischer Livingston, kindergarten; Brayan Lemus-Carrillo, first grade; Melanie Calvillo, second grade; Jasmine Navarro Lemus, third grade; and Quinton Grimes, second grade. Grimes read the most books with 138 titles. The second grader is reading at a fourth grade level.
Masons William Hoffnagle, Troy Fischer and Glenn Dohman presented the bikes during a May 28 assembly at the school. In addition, they distributed Wal-Mart cards to each of the classes. The students read more than 14,500 books, Fischer said.
"We thought this was so great," Fischer said. "They really worked hard and we wish we could give everyone a bike."
The lodge has held fundraisers and received grants for the program. For more information, contact Fischer at troyfischer@msn.com.
"Cause for a Party" for SHC
Dancer steps up to help Shriners Hospitals with June 26 party in Rancho Santa Fe
Kirsten Allen's "Cause for a Party" will benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children on June 26.
By Kristina Houck
Through her newly launched company, The Artist Society, dancer Kirsten Allen of Rancho Santa Fe is inviting the community to party for a good cause.
With food, drinks and live entertainment, "A Cause for a Party" will benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children on June 26 at The Crosby Club in Rancho Santa Fe.
"Giving back is the most beautiful feeling," Allen said. "It's why I dance."
The party takes place 7:30-10 p.m. June 26 at The Crosby Club, 17102 Bing Crosby Blvd. Tickets cost $100 and include food, three drinks and the show.
A ballet dancer since she was 5 years old, Allen started dancing professionally at 16. She has danced with the Suzanne Farrell Ballet and the Sacramento Ballet, where she worked from 1995 until 2009, when she became pregnant with her first son.
During her time with the Sacramento Ballet, Allen performed numerous times at the Northern California Shriners Hospital in Sacramento, which is part of a network of 22 medical facilities across North America.
Now a mother of two, Allen has recently started performing again. Wanting to again give back to the community through dance, she and her dance partner, Jared Nelson, co-founded The Artist Society in March.
"The Artist Society is a mix of art and giving back," Allen said. "We strongly believe in the power and beauty of both of these elements and feel they serve a tremendous purpose no matter how fast-paced our world has become."
"A Cause for a Party" is the company's first event, benefiting Shriners Hospitals for Children.
"For each show we do, we want to link to a different organization," Allen explained. "Because Shriners is so near and dear to my heart, I really wanted to have that as the first charity."
The event will feature an open bar, food and a live show, including singer-songwriters Matt and Jasmine Commerce and comedian Lauren O'Brien. Allen and Nelson will also perform three pieces.
"If you are looking to have a fantastic night while supporting a wonderful cause, this is your night," Allen said.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Welcome to the jumbled Big Ten West where four teams are tied in the loss column.
And the Big Ten East, not as crowded but it's still early. Just wait.
The Buckeyes couldn't sink the row-your-boaters until the end when the talent took over. Can Ohio State handle a hostile Ross-Ade Stadium and Jeff Brohm's offense?
Made the Badgers look below average, which is hard to do. The Wolverines rushed for over 300 yards – again, that's hard to do against Wisconsin. Quarterback Shea Patterson is the catalyst.
Big jump for the Spartans, who waltzed into Happy Valley and stunned Penn State on Brian Lewerke's 25-yard touchdown pass to Felton Davis with 19 seconds to play. Poker chips rule in East Lansing.
Chances of winning the Big Ten East are now gone but can still play a spoiler on both sides since the Nittany Lions host Wisconsin and Iowa. Lost two games by a combined five points, both in the final seconds.
The Badgers are no longer the clear favorite to win the Big Ten West. They have challengers – and plenty of them. The Badgers need quarterback Alex Hornibrook to play well.
On a day of solid quarterback play, Nate Stanley could claim the top honors. The reason? By throwing to the tight ends. His two – T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant – combined for eight catches and 208 yards and three touchdowns. Stanley had six overall touchdowns and 320 yards on a near perfect day.
Meet your Big Ten West leader at the midway point after winning its first home game. Granted, it's by the slimmest of margins. Drove 99 yards in the final 2:02 of regulation to force overtime where backup Drew Luckenbaugh kicked the game-winning field goal.
Three straight wins after the 0-3 start. Completely dismantled Illinois, which looked hapless and disinterested. Other weapons not named Rondale Moore starting to emerge. Defense is improving but faces a stiff test.
Played the Big Ten's free square – Rutgers – and didn't experience much resistance. Picked off five passes and quarterback Kasim Hill tossed three touchdowns.
Can't get blown out at home, especially against an Iowa team that hadn't shown its dynamic on offense. The Hoosiers remain in good shape, but the margin for error is shrinking.
At least the Golden Gophers played the Buckeyes tough – generated nearly 400 total yards - and didn't fold like other teams in the lower part of the conference.
Yes, the Huskers are winless. Even though they let a 10-point lead slip away in the final five minutes, they showed more Saturday compared to other teams. A win is coming, and it won't be just against Bethune-Cookman.
Didn't have an answer for Purdue's offense but didn't put up much of a fight after halftime. Became one-dimensional and passing isn't the Illini's strength. Neither was the running game for that matter.
Here's all you need to know – quarterbacks Artur Sitkowski and Giovanni Rescigno had more interceptions (5) than completions (2) and totaled eight yards passing in the loss to Maryland. Yikes.

Spiritual Companioning
"Sacred is not a special place, or a ritual, or a particular group of people. It's more normal than that. There are many places and rituals that do feel sacred, and many of us seek these out...but I think it's important to notice that the ritual isn't sacred, it just opens that door to the experience. It isn't only the place that is sacred, we are." Margaret Wheatley
BONE AND SEED:
Nurturant Truths in Five Voices: a series
Getting "right down to the seed and bones of everything," we will explore the voices of five visionary women whose ways of seeing and being in the world beckon us to inhabit essential mysteries, depth and truths that will expand our ways of knowing in these threshold times. Over the course of the series, we will engage the writings and the power of these wisdom-keepers to shape our conversation, reflection and creative response, which will include writing, ritual, and art-making.
February: the art and philosophy of "joyous revolutionary" Corita Kent, artist and teacher
March: the vision and writings of Margaret Wheatley, organizational psychology
April: the enduring legacy of humanitarian Jane Goodall, scientist/environmentalist
May: the poetry of Mary Oliver (need I say any more?)
June: the timeless resonance of Clarissa Pinkola Estes, ethnographer and storyteller
We will meet for five months. It is our hope that you will participate in the entire series. However, you can participate month by month. $25-45 each class; come for one month or for the whole series, but please pre-register!
