Last year the North Canton Jaycees were scrambling to find a community co-sponsor for the annual Celebration in the Park and July 4 fireworks, and had to tell community members the festivities might not go on. Well, not this year. Suarez Corp. Industries, which manufactures the EdenPURE heaters inside the Hoover District since September 2011, stepped forward to co-sponsor both the fireworks and the celebration, which begins at 6 p.m. that day.

"When initially looking for a…

The Viking Victory Run, Community 5K and Kids Fun Run exceeded organizers' expectations by bringing in about $16,500 — more than twice what they expected to raise
Sunday's Viking Victory Run was such a success, organizers already are thinking ahead to next year's event. This weekend's 5k and kids fun run kicked off at Hoover High School and Memorial Stadium and raised about $16,500 for the elementary schools. Not only that, but organizer Todd Davy said it accomplished another goal: It brought the North Canton community closer together as it works to realign its school buildings for the 2012-2013 school year. "Our original goal was to give something back to the schools," Davy said. "We wanted to encourage our kids to be fit. We wanted to get our families out running. And we wanted to unite the four elementary schools as we transition into next year." Davy said he's pleased with the response from the …

Hoover High students in Kim Nidy's business management class are selling framed photos of Don Hertler Sr. field at Memorial Stadium not just for their profit, but to benefit the Memorial Stadium Improvement Campaign
The students in Kim Nidy’s business management class are at it again. For the next several weeks they’ll have one thing on their minds: selling a product that’s been years in the making. The Hoover High students start off in a general business course that teaches them the basics of business, and they work their way up to the business management where they, now seniors, operate the business Viking Enterprises. And this year, one Viking Enterprises team is determined to sell at least 100 framed photographs of Don Hertler Sr. Field at Memorial Stadium, which was improved in 2011 with new artificial turf. Ten percent of sales go to the Memorial Stadium Improvement Campaign. “There was a need for money, and we were looking at the charitable …

Eastman, a '10 Hoover High grad and Ohio University sophomore, created artwork that takes her back to Memorial Stadium. The drawings now hang inside Hoover High.
How does a runner forget the feeling of laying a foot into the starting block? Or the anticipation before the gun sounds? How about a cheerleader, that feeling in the glow of the Friday night lights? 2010 Hoover High grad Katie Eastman knows she never will. Eastman, 19, now a sophomore at Ohio University, still has those pangs of nostalgia that take her back to Memorial Stadium, where she ran track and cheered on her fellow Vikings. Her love for her alma mater led her to create a couple pieces of stadium-inspired artwork that now hang inside Hoover High near the main entrance. “I love Hoover High, and that track is where I spent a lot of my time,” Eastman told North Canton Patch. “Just being on that track, and the Friday night lights, and …
