Kaila is a freshman at Eastlake North High School. excitement for YT Medina Server Robin Hodges. Hodges, a Spanish major and International Business minor at Cleveland State University, spent five weeks last summer studying in Costa Rica. While there, she began dating a young man named Oscar Diaz and continued a long distance relationship with him when she returned to the States. In December, she accompanied a group from Heartland Church in Medina on a Medical Missions trip to Nicaragua, where she served as a translator. “One of my guests told me about the trip. She said it changed her life. I had just finished doing a project about Nicaragua,” said Hodges. The 50-year-old Northern Ohio Singing Angels organization engages youth from more than 70 communities in quality music and performing arts education that teaches teamwork, builds confidence, and provides a foundation for life. After the trip to Nicaragua, she returned to Costa Rica to visit Diaz. They visited Montezuma, an endearing little beach town, and Monte Verde, a cloud forest. At the end of the trip, he proposed and Hodges said “yes.” The future looks bright for Hodges too. She’s graduating from Cleveland State in May and looking forward to planning a wedding. Above and below: YT Server Robin Hodges on her mission trip to Nicaragua. Middle image: Hodges and fiancé Oscar Diaz in Costa Rica. Schmid says Kaila attends multiple Singing Angels weekly rehearsals, but that hasn’t stopped her from excelling at school, where she takes honors classes, participates in the school choir and sings in a group called Northern Lights. She is also learning to play guitar and read music. Future Browns recruit? Welcome to Peter Sean Neylon Jr.!

That’s what DeMarco Sanders, a dishwasher and prep cook at YT Chagrin Falls, faced this winter as he made his daily walk to and from work. Sanders, 33, began working at YT nearly 12 years ago. Since then, five days a week, Sanders, who does not drive, walks several miles from his family’s home to work and back again. That’s over 1,000 miles a year! Sanders says spring is his favorite walking season, noting, “It’s not too hot, not too cold.” What gets him Music from the heart through walking in the winter? “A good pair of boots.” General Manager Randy Butwina says other team members often offer Sanders rides and managers try to schedule his shift to end at the same time as other co-workers. Rain or shine, Demarco Sanders walks to work every day. Sanders, a Kenston High School graduate, says he likes working at YT, “because it’s a reliable job” and his favorite YT menu item is a BLT. When he’s not at work, he enjoys playing video games, especially sports games, and browsing the Internet. Most of the conversation in the “heart of the house” at YT Mentor focuses on one thing – music. In fact, Matt Durkee, Chris Lottes, Chris Oriold, Dave Paynter, Joe Sullivan and Richard Flores all play musical instruments. Most play guitar; some play drums, but Oriold plays just about every instrument. He says, “I play trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, flute, French horn, baronet, percussion, bass, and guitar.” Though they haven’t formed a band, they occasionally get together to “jam” just for fun, according to Oriold. 5 Things - Spotlight on Coleen Crowley 1.
