ORCHID: To the volunteers and youth who through the Warren Interfaith Community Action Committee and Southeast Side Community Association are finishing their resurrection of Interfaith Park on Niles Road S.E. ORCHID: To Girard resident and minor league baseball player Stephen Procner who gave a sellout crowd at Eastwood Field a little more than usual to watch at the Mahoning Valley Scrappers baseball game Thursday evening.
