This area includes the new Joyce E. Brooks Conference Center, a new restaurant, multimedia classrooms, culinary arts classrooms, adult education offices and classrooms, board of education offices and the superintendent's office.

In addition to the dedication ceremonies, MCCTC is planning a special luncheon this spring for neighborhoods surrounding the career center in appreciation for their patience during the construction phase.

Tumbling Waters collection on display

YOUNGSTOWN-Tumbling Waters, a collection of 34 black and white photographs by Western Pennsylvania photographer William E. Workman, will be on display at the Weller Gallery at Fellows Riverside Gardens, Mill Creek MetroParks. The exhibit will be open from Jan. 8 through Feb. 14.

Tumbling Waters features stunning photographs of waterfalls, rapids and cascades.

The brute force of water is evident in some of the photographs, while in others the water appears deceptively soft, silky, and even sensuous.

Often, unseen and unexpected complex flow patterns become apparent in these photographs, adding to the beauty and mystery of the images. Most of these magnificent locales are not found on standard maps.

Fellows Riverside Gardens, operated by Mill Creek MetroParks is a botanical display garden open daily free of charge from dawn to dark.

The Davis Education and Visitor Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
