Cinder Nixon: a Canton, Ohio Queen of a Cat

Cinder Nixon, Canton, Ohio queen

Cinder liked to nap in an antique cradle with a handmade quilt and dolls

Cinder Nixon – Canton, Ohio

Cinder Nixon was a barn cat, born just outside of Canton, Ohio. She was adopted into the Nixon family as a small, lonely kitten—the last of her litter to find a home. Humble beginnings aside, she quickly became the queen of the Nixon household.

She would have likely been considered a Domestic Longhair, but at home, she was just their beautiful mixed-breed kitten.

Her name, Cinder, came from her light grey coloring and her resemblance to the ashes in the hearth. In the 14+ years that she was part of the family, one extended family member never managed to get her name quite right, and always called her “Cinders.” And though her name was not meant to draw comparisons to the Cinderella story, it was certainly applicable. Like Cinderella, Cinder Nixon went from an unkempt birthplace where she was largely overlooked, to a warm and loving home in Canton where she (liked to think that she) was in charge, and ruled as queen over her humans.

Cartridge World in North Canton’s “Green” Fundraising

Posted on by

Cartridge World is thinking green in North Canton, and wants to help local organizations with some green through fundraising. Cartridge World recycles ink and laser printer cartridges, as well as refilling ink and toner cartridges. What’s even better is that local schools, churches, and other organizations can participate in this environmentally friendly endeavor as a fundraiser.

Why is it important to recycle these particular products? Here are a few facts that may make you think twice before tossing them in the trash.

  • Approximately one gallon of oil goes into making a new laser cartridge.
  • In the U.S., roughly eight cartridges are thrown away every second.
  • In North America, over 350 million cartridges are discarded per year. This number is increasing approximately 12 percent each year.
  • When thrown into a landfill, a laser cartridge can take up to 450 years to decompose. Some parts will taker over 1,000 years to decompose.
  • Every remanufactured laser cartridge saves nearly 2.5 pounds of metal and plastic from being deposited in landfills.
  • Currently, 70 percent of used printer cartridges worldwide are thrown out.

These startling statistics can be combated by thinking green. Through the fundraising program, this green comes back to you not only in protecting our planet, but also as funds for your local school, church, or other non-profit organization. Continue reading →
