Fitch senior Amanda Franklin was judged the winner of the Four Way Speech Contest at the Monday meeting of the Rotary Club of Austintown. This contest is held annually, encouraging entrants to use the Rotary's famous 4 Way Test as a way to solve problems and issues in daily life. Amanda's speech was titled 'Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say' and dealt with the issue of political correctness getting in the way of truth and fairness. Runners up in the competition were Jacqueline Cohol and Nicole Cirbus, who also demonstrated impressive talent at application of the principles of Rotary. Amanda will compete in the District Competition at North Canton on April 5.Others involved in the competition were judges consisting of Dr. Mitch Dalvin, Tony Cebriak, Robin Stock, and Deanna Spirko. Special thanks were extended to Mr. John Mazzucco, veteran speech coach at Fitch, who chose and encouraged the contestants.
