Autism Society visits with Santa

NILES

Visiting with Santa Claus each Christmas season is a rite of passage for many children. But for those with autism – and others highly sensitive to noise, light and sound – the process can be overwhelming.

For this reason the Autism Society of the Mahoning Valley and the Eastwood Mall have collaborated to offer the 6th annual Special Santa holiday photo event on Dec. 9, from 9 to 11 a.m. in the mall’s main concourse. The event is free. Professional photo packages will be available for purchase.

Designed for children and young adults with special needs and their families, it is an opportunity to have photos taken with a caring Santa in a calmer, sensory-friendly environment. “For one day, we will open up early, turn off the holiday lights and music and help kids meet Santa on their terms,” said Alyson Moliterno, marketing director for the mall.

Guests are encouraged to sign up in advance to limit the wait time. Go to autismmv.org/newsite/event/special-santa/

Perry cancels tour

LOS ANGELES

Joe Perry has canceled his fall tour to take time off after recently being hospitalized with breathing problems.

The Aerosmith guitarist’s publicist said in a statement Tuesday the 68-year-old will take the rest of the year off. He had expected to return to the road starting Nov. 30 through Dec. 16.

Perry felt short of breath after a guest performance with Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden in New York. Paramedics backstage gave Perry oxygen and used a tracheal tube to clear his airway before taking him to the hospital.
