“Hello, this is the IRS calling and you are being sued

because you owe money.” Or, “This is the IRS and you’re

going to be arrested if you do not pay what you owe.” How

many people have received calls like these? This is one of

the most popular scams being used today. However, the

IRS does not call.

Here is a how this scams operates: You get a call. The

person tells you that you owe money, you better pay now

or you will be arrested, and pay by using a prepaid debit

card, MoneyPak card or wiring the money. The caller tries

to take control of the situation from the beginning by using

threats, stating that charges are pending against you. If

you question the caller in any way, the caller becomes

more aggressive. The caller keeps on being aggressive by

threatening to freeze bank accounts and threatening

arrest. Remember, the IRS does not call!

If you pay, guess what, you’ve just been scammed, and

you will not get your money back. What to do if you get a

call? Best advice, do not answer if you don’t recognize the

number. If you do talk to the subject, ask for a call back

number and an employee badge number, or confront the

subject with the fact that the IRS does not call.

As IRS commissioner Josh Koskinen commented, “If

you are surprised to be hearing from us, you are not

hearing from us. Our way of contacting you is by letter.”

The IRS will never do the following: Call to demand

immediate payment. Demand that you pay taxes without

giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the

amount they say you owe. Require you to use a specific

payment method. Ask for credit card information over the

phone. Threaten to bring in local police or other law

enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

They will never contact you by email. If you get an email

from the IRS, do not open it — it could be anything from a

virus to a scam.

Be patient, these people are persistent. They will call

you numerous times and leave messages. The majority of

these calls are from overseas, and the majority of the

callers speak broken English or have an Indian accent.

Remember, they are robo calls, and the numbers are

generated by a computer. All they want is your money.

Although anyone can receive these calls, the elderly are

usually targeted. One reason seniors are targeted is that

sometimes they have experienced cognitive declines and

memory loss. Also, seniors are more trusting and are

more apt to be concerned when they are told it is the IRS.

Remember, the IRS does not call!

If you receive a call like this and you feel threaten, call

your local law enforcement agency to report it. Also please

call Donald Hyde at Trumbull County Senior Services at

330-675-7096 to report it. Remember if the IRS wants to

communicate with you, they will send you a nice little letter

explaining why they are contacting you. Scammers

operate year round, so please be careful and never give

out personal information over the phone. Be smart, be

safe, and by working together, we can beat these guys and

hopefully put them out of business, or better yet, in jail!

“Roses are red, violets are blue” — we’ve all heard this

many times over. The beauty and fragrance of violets

have long been the inspiration and subject matter of

many a poem. The dainty flower is also an early

harbinger of spring, and do you know that violets and

pansies belong to the same plant family? Botanically

speaking, violas and pansies along with most violets are

perennials belonging to the genus Viola. �However, violas

and pansies are usually treated as annuals. Though

violets have smaller flowers, they bloom longer on much

neater plants. Their name comes from the Latin Viola.

Dependable and easy to grow, violets will bloom from

early spring to frost if they are not overheated and if their

faded flowers are deadheaded regularly. They like to

grow in shady, cool places and rock gardens and can be

used as edging

plants. But remember,

violets are also

spreading plants, so

give them plenty of

room.

Not all violets are

fragrant. The Queen of

the scented ones

is Viola pedata,�the

birds-foot violet. A plant

native to the Eastern and Midwestern United States, it

has a lovely lilac flower that does well in the sun, except

in hot climates. Not all violets are blue; there are also

white varieties of violets. They are especially known for

creeping over the shade garden like a shimmering

carpet. Some wild violets have a tendency to pop up here

and there by self-seeding or spreading by underground

rhizomes. Give all violets room to spread!

One well known viola, Johnny Jump-Up (Viola Tricolor),

is a delightful little flower. It easily grows from seed, and

once established, even self-sows. A wildflower, Johnny

Jump-Up has been around for centuries and is native to

the mountains in Spain and France. Also known as

Heartsease, violas are excellent bedding and container

plants, especially in the spring. They tend to be more

heat and cold tolerant than pansies. The color options

are not as extensive as pansies, but the number of

blooms are more abundant per plant. That’s a good

thing, since viola flowers are edible and used on salads

and in soups.

Now the big guys. The larger flowered forms are

pansies. Technically though, all pansies are violas, but

not all violas are

pansies. A flower of

many colors, most

pansies have the

markings that create a

fanciful face, though

some only have a

center yellow eye. The

pansy is one of the best

cool season flowers

available. Start the

container season with

an all pansy planting in

an array of colors, or use one color and add a mix of

Johnny Jump-Ups for contrast.

Pansies and violas prefer full sun in the spring, but

tolerate partial shade with moist, well drained potting

soil. Fertilize every two weeks with quarter-strength liquid

fertilizer. Pansies do

best in cool weather

and suffer in hot

summer

weather. Though

they may rejuvenate

in the fall for

someone else, I’ve

long since replaced

them with summer

annuals. Remember,

pansies make

wonderful

companions for

spring flowering bulbs and primroses. A pot of freshly

planted pansies always makes me smile. Like violas and

violets, pansies are edible. I had a friend who used to

make candied pansies for cake decorating. Miss you girl.

Happy gardening, Kathleen

We will continue our discussion by exploring the

incredible energies of the ancient pyramids and temples of

Egypt. You will learn about the use of the sarcophagus

for initiates to experience the resurrection mysteries, how

vibrations were used for healing and ascension, how

power rods were used, what it takes to create temples and

sacred space, among other things.

The Warren Area Miniatures Art Club recently

celebrated 25 years of practicing and teaching their craft.

Members of the club make miniature dollhouses and

related items that are truly works of art. They fashion the

tiny houses from the ground up, cutting wood, painting

roofs, wallpapering interior walls, sewing curtains for

windows and making furnishings by hand or from

purchased kits. They even make or purchase kits of mini

people to be put into their dollhouses.

Up to 25 people at

a time from all over

the region gather at

the Warren SCOPE

Center Pine Room to

enjoy fellowship and

training from

members and guest

instructors. Co-

founders of the club

are Susan Gillispie

and Gail Druscher.

For quite a few years

Gail owned a miniature art shop with locations in both

downtown Warren and Cortland.

The dollhouses are made to one inch, or half inch or

quarter inch scale. President Jean Smith stated, “These

dollhouses are for display, and not to be played with.”

Jean’s Aunt, Elizabeth Flath, and Jean’s mother, Barbara

Ablondi, are not only the oldest club members at 92, but

also twin sisters.

The dollhouses made by the Miniature club have been

displayed at local libraries and at SCOPE. Some of the

dollhouses have been donated to charity with the F&CS

agency ‘Someplace Safe’ being the last non-profit to

receive one.

The Club, which is

registered with the

National Association

of Miniature

Enthusiasts, meets

the last Sunday of

each month from 2

until 5 pm at the

Warren YWCA SCOPE Center.

United Way’s mission is “United in Helping Children

and Families Thrive.” To achieve this, United Way

partners with foundations, donors, businesses and

volunteers in our community. United Way support helps

families with vital mental health services, food on the

table, diapers for infants, life-saving insulin, utilities and

the ability to pay the rent or mortgage.

“Data published in 2020 revealed that even before

the pandemic, 42% of residents had an income below the

necessary threshold to afford the basics,” explained

Ginny Pasha, President and CEO of United Way of

Trumbull County. “Unfortunately, the long-term

consequences of this pandemic, along with the closing of

GM in Lordstown, will not disappear any time soon.”

When Ginny Pasha came to

United Way in 2013, she

developed the Early Literacy

Initiative for children in grades

pre-K through 2nd. Since 2014,

over 6,000 children have

participated in one of more of the

three literacy intervention

programs, and an impressive 79%

of children in those programs

have shown gains in both

comprehension and fluency. In April of 2015 Ginny

introduced the Trumbull County Partnership for Financial

Empowerment program to increase access to free tax

preparation and financial education. SCOPE partners

with this initiative in hosting the yearly AARP free tax

program.

“For senior citizens there are benefits suited for them.

United Way’s partnership with SCOPE Senior Services has

been deep and longstanding,” Pasha stated. “Important

to the needs of seniors is the need to socialize. Seniors

are feeling depressed and lonely because of this

pandemic. They need each other, and SCOPE provides

that opportunity. Other agencies of the United Way have

also assisted with the needs of seniors, and the

partnership between SCOPE, Help Network, and the

Salvation Army makes me proud,” Pasha concluded.

Ginny manages a full-time staff of four, one part-time

employee, and a handful of volunteers. Currently the

Trumbull County United Way allocates funds to 20

programs and 14 agencies. “We have been here since

1923,” Ginny stated, “and we will continue to be here for

you through this pandemic and beyond.” To make a

donation or find out more , email

Marge Haley, 73, a Warren native who has lived in

Howland, Niles and Canfield, said she has spent her life

working with people of all ages -- from children when she

was teacher, adults when she was a trainer for a Fortune

500 company, and now seniors as the Manager for the

Warren SCOPE Center.

“When I graduated from high school women were

limited to being a nurse, a secretary or a teacher. I knew

I didn’t want to be a nurse or a secretary, but I thought of

being a teacher, remembering the wonderful fourth grade

teacher I had in Warren,” Marge stated. She worked for

Howland public schools for several

years, first as a third grade teacher

and later as a junior high English

teacher. She is still recognized by

some of her former students. “I

really enjoy seeing my former

students and catching up on their

lives. It’s amazing to see what

they’ve done with themselves. I

am very proud about how they’ve

turned out,” she said.

Being a teacher didn’t pay very well, so Marge decided

to change careers to better support herself. She found a

job with a Fortune 500 company presenting training

programs to retailers on how to sell the company’s

products, traveling 50 weeks out of the year. “That was

in the days before women really traveled. I traveled so

much I could be on both coasts in one week. It was really

interesting.”

After that career ended, Marge worked various jobs in

steel manufacturing, health care and for the Youngstown-

Warren Regional Chamber. She finally was led to SCOPE,

first working only 10 hours per week. Now she is the full-

time Manager at the Warren Center and handles all the

Medicare and Medicaid paperwork and billing. She’s

been with SCOPE for 10 years.

“I’ve had fun at all my jobs, but this is the one I really

like. There is something to be said for being on the other

side of retirement. I can have fun with what I do, and I

like being with seniors. You can talk about knee

replacements and cataract surgeries. You can talk about

the ‘remember when's,’ and when people actually

remember, it’s a lot of fun. We also laugh when we have

our senior moments and can’t remember.”

Marge said she is planning different programs for the

Warren SCOPE Center, including a chess club and bike

club, once people are allowed to gather again socially.

“I’m very happy being with SCOPE,” she said. “I’ve had a

lot of different jobs, and I have liked them all because I

have been able to take something meaningful away from

all of them.”
