YOUNGSTOWN Operation Steel Penguins is kicking off in the city to add “additional layers” of protection for residents, the mayor and police chief announced Tuesday.
The name is slightly different from the Operation Steel Penguin that took place a few years ago, but its goal is the same: To bring together local, state and federal agencies to target criminal activity, especially gun offenses.
Mayor Jamael Tito Brown started his remarks about the operation by pointing to a video that students and educators at Taft Elementary School on the city’s South Side recently created called “We Are Peace We are Taft.”

Jim Little
James Edward Little was born in Burlington, Vt., on March 11, 1952, to George Edward Little Jr. and Barbara Elaine Burns Little. He died peacefully on February 11, 2021, surrounded by his family, from the cancer that suddenly returned and overwhelmed his body but never dimmed his spirit.
Jim was born with a form of cerebral palsy that affected his legs and balance, but he was not defined by that disability; instead, he defined and conquered

Jim thrived in a loving family and was blessed with fiercely loyal friends. He enjoyed countless idyllic summers at the Little camp at Starr Farm Beach, camping trips around the country, swimming at the YMCA, playing golf, and following with love and joy the lives of his siblings, nieces, nephews
