Cherry Monroe to appearat Boardman High Schoolas part of Diversity Day
Rock band Cherry Monroe, the national recording artists whose members are from the Youngstown and Pittsburgh areas, will return home with a special appearance for students at Boardman High School on Nov. 15.
The band will appear, along with a therapist from the Lakewood Hospital Teen Health Center, as part of the school's Diversity Day to talk to all 1,600 students about accepting differences in others, teen relationships, and other topics.
After the discussion, Cherry Monroe will perform in the school gymnasium for the kids. The free event is only for Boardman High students and is not open to the public.
The band was asked to do this event in Boardman after similar, successful appearances at Lincoln High School in Ellwood City, Pa., in September and at Westlake High School near Cleveland in April.
Cherry Monroe sees these school events as a positive way of giving back to their teenage fans, who've been so supportive of the band. Cherry Monroe also continues to be involved with The Jason Foundation, a national non-profit organization based in Nashville, Tenn., that focuses on raising awareness and prevention of teenage suicide. The band tries to discuss this briefly in their high school appearances and donates a portion of the proceeds from their merchandise sales to the foundation.
Cherry Monroe's album on Universal/Rust Records, entitled "The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful," which released on Sept. 13.

'You Got Served' directorworks on horror flick
On the Heels of his $50 Million blockbuster "You Got Served" writer-director Chris Stokes is now filming the teen horror flick "Somebody Help Me," starring multi-platinum selling recording artists Marques Houston and Omarion. Filming began on the outskirts of Los Angeles last week.
The horror film promises to reinvent the genre popularized by modern day classics "Friday The 13th," "Nightmare On Elm Street" and "Scream." It centers on characters Brendan Young (Houston) and Darryl Jennings (Omarion) who take a trip to Lake Arrowhead with a group of college friends to celebrate Young's girlfriend's birthday. One-by-one the coeds begin disappearing until a mysterious young visitor arrives and helps them begin to unravel their tangled web of terror.
Houston stars in the UPN sitcom "Cuts" and was a cast member of the WB sitcom "Sister, Sister." Omarion is the former lead singer of the multi-platinum selling group B2K and starred in "Served" and the "Fat Albert" film in 2004.

New words for new era
Do you Google in the snain? Don't bother to look for these words in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. "Snain," meaning "a mix of snow and rain," never caught on. But "google," meaning "to search the Internet," may be added in 2006.
Some 1,000 new words or usages enter the English language each year. Some go into the dictionary. Others fade from use. & quot;Our language is a living thing, & quot; Jim Lowe, an editor at Merriam-Webster, told Time For Kids. & quot;It keeps growing. & quot;
Merriam-Webster first published the Collegiate Dictionary in 1898. Since then, at least 100,000 words have been added.
The dictionary's editors look in everything from catalogs to comic books for the latest lingo.
Lowe reviews these words for the edition's annual updates. Every 10 years, the dictionary gets a total makeover. Lowe and the other editors review the 1 million or so new terms they have found. About 10,000 make it in.
