STEUBENVILLE — The Sycamore Youth Center was alive with color, movement and music on the evening of May 6, as more than 50 young dancers took the stage for the highly-anticipated “Spirit of Poland” folk dance celebration.
Hosted by the Sycamore Folk Dancers and led by directors Zac Gordon and Jariel Henthorn, the event drew a packed house of parents, community members and cultural enthusiasts.
The performance began at 7 p.m. and featured traditional Polish folk dancing and singing, showcasing the beauty and vibrancy of Polish culture.
Dressed in festive costumes and dancing with enthusiasm, students brought to life songs and traditions that spanned generations.
“This was truly one of the most moving and joyful events we’ve ever had at the Sycamore Youth Center,” said Bobbyjon Bauman, executive director of the center and president of the Ohio Valley Youth Network. “To see these young people celebrate faith, culture and community with such heart, was nothing short of inspiring.”
The “Spirit of Poland” event was the culmination of months of dedicated rehearsals under the guidance of Gordon and Henthorn, who have poured their time and passion into mentoring the young performers.
The Sycamore Youth Center continues to be a hub for arts, faith and youth development in the Ohio Valley.
The “Spirit of Poland” was just one example of what can happen when tradition meets passion in the hearts of the next generation.

It’s game time in Green Lake County as a new community initiative is coming to the area that promises a day of sports and community resources.
The Green Lake County Health Department and Terrace Shores Church will host the first-ever Green Lake County Community Day and Sports Camp Thursday, July 17 at Princeton Public School.
The event was planned by the Green Lake County Health Department to address social factors affecting the health of community members. It’s also meant to bring awareness to the services and resources available to residents around Green Lake County.
The Green Lake County Health Department teamed up with Terrace Shores Church because it already was hosting a similar event.
“We wanted to provide a fostering environment for youth to grow in skill development, physical fitness and teamwork,” Green Lake County Deputy Health Officer Lauren Olson said. “We added the services and resources to help meet families where they are at and provide direct services all in one location.”
The event will be split into two parts: the sports camp and the resource fair.
The sports camp will go from noon to 4 p.m. and is open to area youth who will be in grades six through 12 this fall. Kids will have the option to play football, basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball.

The resource fair will go from 2 to 6 p.m. and anyone in Green Lake County can attend. The resource fair will feature free haircuts from Berlin Beauty Salon, a diaper giveaway from Jake’s Network of Hope and free sports physicals for students.
Additionally, employment assistance will be provided from Forward Services Corp. Mental health resources and presentations from Community Clothes Closet, Womens, Infants, and Children, the Boys and Girls Club of the Tri-County Area, Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services and more will be offered.
ThedaCare Rural Health initiative will share information on blood pressure and vision checks, and the Green Lake County Extension FoodWIse will talk about nutrition. The Green Lake County Food Pantry, Advocap Head Start and the Green Lake County Aging and Disability Resource center also will provide information and resources.
The event also will feature a community meal that anyone can attend.
“We hope to see this event continue on an annual basis and help bring together the community and provide valuable resources to those that need it,” Olson said.
