It looked like a scene out of a horror film – a terrified young woman wakes up in a strange hospital room, strapped to a bed, unable to move or speak, and with no memory of why she is there. Strange people were all around her, and she was under guard 24 hours a day. But the most harrowing part of her story was that this was no Hollywood movie. It really happened. Back in 2009, then-24-year-old Susannah Cahalan, who was just embarking on a new life in New York City with a new boyfriend and as a reporter for The New York Post, began, literally, to lose her mind. In addition to suffering vi...
A pond and surrounding greenery lies within the rolling hills of the campus of ѿappUniversity at Stark, but it’s certainly not your average water retention pond.

Thanks to a $25,000 grant from Dominion Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dominion Resources, ѿappStark’s 17-acre Pond & Wetland Habitat/Wildlife Study Area wil...

Unlike many Northeast Ohioans who would rather not deal with the snow and cold of winter, a group of students from China were “pumped” about it. “After seeing snow for the first time, I was pumped!” gushed Lin Baoyi, known as Bowie, her chosen English name, to her American counterparts at a graduation ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 13, at ѿappUniversity at Stark. “It was really beautiful.” In a few days, though, they’ll be leaving Stark County’s bone-chilling winter, most of them for good. Bowie and 17 of her fellow students from Shenzhen Polytechnic University in Shenzhen, Chi...
