Lordstown students help hurricane victims

LORDSTOWN

Students in the Lordstown Schools are collecting new clothing and school supplies to send to students in Panama City, Fla., which was hit hard by Hurricane Michael.

A Lordstown third-grader told her teacher about friends affected by the hurricane and asked if her class could write letters to the students at Springfield Elementary School there. The teacher agreed, but officials did more.

They contacted the school district in Florida and learned students needed new clothing in Pre-K through 12th grade, including underwear, socks, shirts, jeans/pants, shoes, boots and belts.

The Lordstown National Honor Society will facilitate a collection. The items will be accepted at the high school, elementary school and superintendent’s office from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Friday.

Lecture planned

NEW WILMINGTON, PA

The Westminster College Department of Chemistry will host Dr. Matthew Clarke for the 11th annual Ken and Nancy Long Chemistry Lecture at 7 p.m. Nov. 5, in the Lakeview Room located in Westminster’s McKelvey Campus Center.

In his lecture, “Museums, Conservation, and Chemistry,” Clarke will focus on the use of physical sciences to aid in the protection of cultural treasures, uncover the methods of their manufacture and discover the causes of changes that may occur in the future.

Clarke is a conservation scientist at the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution with past experience working at the National Gallery of Art.

The lecture series is funded by Dr. Ken Long, Westminster professor of chemistry emeritus, and his wife, Nancy, to invite chemists to speak with students on campus. The event is free and open to the public. For information, contact Doreen Matune at matunedm@westminster.edu or 724-946-7284.
