Cleveland's Salvation in the Form of Drew Carey
Drew Carey has always been known for taking on big projects but with his latest move, he might have out done himself. In an upcoming series of online videos, the Price Is Right host suggests all new ways to solve all of the city of Cleveland's many problems; population loss, failing schools and lack of economic prosperity. Standing strong behind a libertarian approach to save the city, Carey is urging little government and small taxes in his 10 minute segments that will be aired starting next week on reason.tv.
Helping Others Helps Yourself
As high school is slowly winding down and coming to an end for the seniors this year, many sophomores and juniors are starting to look for colleges to enroll in after graduation. To do so, students need to be able to write a strong resume that they can submit into any college and be proud of. Well, it is no secret that colleges love it when they receive resumes from upcoming high school graduates that have community service hours written down. The reason for this is because that it shows that you take an active part in your community and care for others. My older sister, Katie McLean, said, "If I had not done as much community service, I might not have been able to get into as good of a college as I did." It is important to remember that community service is not only helpful to get into colleges, but it is also just kind and helpful thing to do for others.
Breathe!
Several Kenston students volunteer their time with Breathe Respite Care. Breathe is a event on one Friday every month that is all about letting parents of kids with special needs get a little breathing time and relax while their children are left with specialized care.

Working for Breathe is a great way to give back and have fun, registration is easy, the website is BreatheFellowship.com.
