BOARDMAN Robin Suzelis recently was appointed director of the Autism Society of Mahoning Valley, transitioning from a volunteer role to a paid one.
It is a role she welcomes as she continues to dedicate her life to helping all who are touched by autism, including two special family members. The ASMV has been all-volunteer for several decades, but the board decided to create the new paid position. In that position, Robin can continue to support her family as well as many others.

CANFIELD The sewing gene may have skipped a generation in the Manchester family, but it is firmly planted in sisters Clare Neff and Betty Aberson, who own Village Quilts on Main Street in the center of the city’s downtown.
The great philosopher William Morris once advised: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
This is probably why the two most dreaded words in the English language for me are “spring cleaning.” I never know if I’m going to make the cut.
There are other dangers to spring cleaning, such as filling yet another box full of cords and cables that MIGHT go to something you still have; doubling your collection of bits of string and bread twist ties; and wondering what’s about to collapse considering all the random screws you found lying around. It’s nerve-wracking.
