Seminar on coping with ADHD
Kids who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can be a handful.

Counselor Rene Reinker and teacher Sherry Pietch will hold another session at the same time, focusing on prescription medication abuse among teens and what parents should know.
The seminars are free, but no child care will be provided. For more information, call Craig Koehler at (440) 934-3800 or Kristina Buller at (440) 934-6171.
Chocolate bunnies multiply at new store
Catherine Pastron is up to her elbows in chocolate bunnies right now.
“We don’t need any more rabbits,” one of her employees yelled jokingly at her Saturday as she opened her new candy store at 36718 Detroit Road.
Pastron also owns Catherine’s Chocolates in Amherst and Westlake. She said she’s outgrown her Amherst store — especially now, at one of the busiest seasons on a chocolatier’s calendar.
Easter has snuck up on a lot of people this year and they’re racing to get chocolate eggs before next Sunday, she said.
“Chocolate is what binds us all together,” she said.
