Local library permanently closing this summer
According to the library's website, the Board of Trustees 'regretfully made the decision to close the branch after careful consideration of the library's circulation and usage numbers.'
'The library board regularly reviews library usage to ensure that we are utilizing the funds we are entrusted with in a fiscally responsible way,' said Executive Director Jim Wilkins in a news release. 'This was a difficult decision but one that we believe will allow us to best serve the entire Trumbull County community.'
The release said that two staff members who work at the Lordstown location will be relocated to other libraries. Wilkins also said they may include Bookmobile stops in the village and other programming options.
The library will permanently close at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 27. All library materials must be returned by this date or to another Warren-Trumbull County Public Library location.

Waynesboro, Staunton and Augusta County schools again offering free breakfast, lunch
Waynesboro Public Schools announced that all students in the division are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch at school this academic year. "No further action is required of parents," the announcement said. "Students will be able to participate in this free meal program without having to submit a meal application or pay for meals." Students will be charged for extra items such as drinks, snacks and ice cream, according to Waynesboro Public Schools. Both Staunton City Schools and Augusta County Public Schools will also offer free meals this year. "We will continue to offer free lunch and breakfast under Community Eligibility Provision," said Amanda Warren, director of school nutrition for Staunton City Schools. The Community Eligibility Provision is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas, according to the USDA. The program allows the nation's highest poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. The USDA said that schools that adopt the program are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students categorically eligible for free meals based on their participation in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). "Breakfast and lunch became free for all students in SCS when we qualified for the CEP in 2020, and it's been that way ever since," said Ruth Jones Turner, Staunton City Schools' director of strategic planning and public relations. Augusta County is also under the Community Eligibility Provision and will serve free breakfast and lunch, said John Childs, executive director of communication and ddministrative services for the division.

Largest litter of Sumatran tigers in the UK born at Welsh zoo
Four rare Sumatran tiger cubs have been born at a Welsh Zoo, sparking new hope for the critically endangered species. Mum Terima, who is 11, welcomed the "very noisy, and very cute" cubs around six weeks ago at Manor House Wildlife Park. Park officials have been keeping news of the arrivals under wraps as the cubs were allowed to settle. The four cubs, whose genders are yet unknown, were born on 8 June making Pembrokeshire home to seven tigers. Celebrity owner Anna Ryder Richardson said: "This is the largest litter in the UK, possibly in Europe, and it's very exciting." Kim Wilkins, head keeper at Manor Wildlife Park said having four cubs was "exceptionally rare", adding that a normal litter size for a Sumatran tiger is two or three. "When I saw four I was over the moon, what an achievement," said Ms Wilkins. The tigers at the park belong to a breeding programme, which makes recommendations as to which tigers move where "in order to keep a genetic variability to keep that gene pool healthy", Ms Wilkins added. "When these babies grow up, they will also join the wider breeding programme and will be moved around the world in order to keep that breeding process going." There are estimated to be fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild due to habitat loss and illegal poaching. The Pembrokeshire litter is believed to be the largest born in the UK, with three previously born at London Zoo and two at Chester Zoo last year. Interior designer and TV presenter Ryder Richardson added: "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The tigers have a very important job to do because they have been genetically matched to breed. "The breeding group are really hoping that one of our four is a male." The pairing and breeding of particular animals is managed by a studbook holder, who makes matches according to genetic diversity and other suitability criteria. Endangered tiger cub triplets born at safari park UK's rarest wildlife being 'pushed to extinction' by grass fires Endangered red panda cub twins born at safari park Participating in the European Endangered Species Programme means that if zoos are asked to send an animal to another zoo for breeding, they will co-operate to ensure the population overall is as strong and healthy as possible. Ryder Richardson added: "You wont be able to see Sumatran Tigers in the wild, during ours or our children's lifetimes. It's happening in front of our eyes and it's tragic. "Our zoo will probably not be allowed to breed again, unless we bring in another male, or swap the females which we don't want to do. "For Wales, it's a rare opportunity and it's important for people to come and see, and learn." Manor House Wildlife Park has been attempting to breed from their 10-year-old male Jaya and 11-year-old female Terima for more than eight years. They had been unsuccessful until their first cub Zaza was born in 2024. Manor House Wildlife Park officials said they are open to suggestions on naming the cubs once their genders have been identified. Park owner Ryder-Richardson said she is hoping "for some Welsh names."

'Hoarding situation': 400 guinea pigs saved from California property
A Southern California nonprofit announced it rescued around 400 guinea pigs this week from a Los Angeles property where they slept outside "with improper food, water, and care." The Southern California Guinea Pig Rescue (SCGPR) said in a July 21 Facebook post that it received a request from the Los Angeles Animal Services (LAAS) on July 15 regarding "a hoarding situation" in South Los Angeles involving up to 200 guinea pigs in need of rescue. The LAAS told the nonprofit that the owner of the guinea pigs was facing eviction from her rental property unless all the animals were removed by July 19, according to the social media post. At this point, the SCGPR made contact with the tenant, who allowed them to come by the property on July 17 to begin removing the guinea pigs. USA TODAY contacted the LAAS and SCGPR on Saturday, July 26, but has not received a response. Guinea pig removal process begins While removing the guinea pigs, the SCGPR said in the Facebook post that "it became immediately clear that the situation was critical." Rescuers noticed "pervasive medical conditions" in the animals, including ringworm, pregnancies, open wounds and neurological issues, the post continued, adding that the guinea pigs also "lacked access to adequate space, bedding, water, and food." The number of guinea pigs may have increased without intervention due to the males and females not being separated, or fixed, according to the SCGPR. Guinea pigs can reproduce at 3 weeks of age and can become pregnant within hours of giving birth, the nonprofit added. The SCGPR managed to rescue 33 guinea pigs from the property, while the nonprofit said the LAAS would remove the remaining animals. Remaining guinea pigs removed from LA property In a July 24 Facebook post, the SCGPR wrote that LAAS removed all remaining guinea pigs from the property that afternoon. "We know that females and young babies went to (Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue and Adoption Center), and the remaining boys were booked into LAAS to be split up between the 6 city shelters," the post reads. The post also contains SCGPR Co-founder and CEO Valerie Warren's written reaction to the entire situation, "The last week has been one of the most draining ones of my rescue career. The emotional toll of being on that property a week ago with my 4 rescue colleagues has been a heavy one, but tonight I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and sleep much better than I have in a week." According to Warren, LAAS does not have the exact headcount for the rescued guinea pigs, but she said the SCGPR's early estimate of 300 to 400 animals appears to be correct. "We are SO relieved these pigs are out of that situation," Warren wrote.
