Award-Winning Effort

ON THE INSIDE The lastest happenings in our area Page 2

January 30, 2015

by Christopher Cornell ADVANTAGE EDITOR

The Girl Scout Gold Award, the Girl Scouts’ highest honor, challenges scouts in grades nine through 12 to change the world, no matter how big or small their impact might be. One young lady from our area took up the challenge and succeeded. The Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania (GSHPA) recently presented Maura O’Neill, from Troop 50520 in Scott Township, with the award. The Lakeland High School graduate and current Marywood University student’s Gold Award project was titled “Murals at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter.” “I got the idea to paint murals at Griffin Pond when I saw that the walls in two of the rooms there looked a bit bland and shabby,” she recalled. Her hope was that colorful murals could brighten up these rooms and attract more visitors. O’Neill tried a number of designs, but settled on a cartoonish depiction of multiple dog breeds playing outside for the dog room and a collection of cats playing with yarn, birds and mice for the cat room. “The simple, cartoonish designs of the murals made the figures in them both easier to paint and more expressive,” she said. O’Neill had to write a proposal and get it approved by the Gold Award Committee. It was rejected several times, and each time O’Neill added more elements, including an idea to teach youngsters how to make beds and toys for the animals. “The girls in the troops I visited worked hard sewing toy mice for the cats and braiding felt ropes for the dogs,” she said. She also created adoption kits, which would be given out to anyone who adopts an animal at the shelter. These kits were filled with many of the items that a new pet owner might need, including treats, toys, bowls, leashes and collars. All of these items were held in a soft, flannel bag that, when turned inside out, could be used as a bed. O’Neill added that many of the youngsters she worked with had never been to or even heard of the shelter. “Knowing that I was able to educate them about the shelter, as well as how to donate, volun-

O’Neill set up a table during Griffin Pond’s Pet Walk at McDade Park and invited the public to help fill the bags with everything the adoption kits needed.

teer and adopt, was incredibly satisfying.” She remembered placing one of the beds into a cat’s cage, and it immediately jumped onto the soft bed and began purring. “Seeing how much the animals at the shelter needed and enjoyed my donations definitely made my project feel worthwhile.” She said the biggest challenge was finding funds for supplies. After being turned down by several businesses, Sherwin-Williams and Justus Hardware helped out, and many of O’Neill’s family members made both monetary and material donations. “There are so many people who I would like to thank for helping me with this project,” she said. “My mom, Mary, who is also my Girl Scout leader, provided me with so much support and so many great ideas for the beds, toys and adoption kits. My dad, Kevin, helped me with every aspect of the murals; he used his artistic talents to help me measure the rooms, come up with ideas, transfer my sketches from paper onto the walls, and paint the murals. My art teacher, Jennifer Piconi, and art club members Carissa Neary and Jen Nawrocki spent weeks helping me paint. I’d like to thank Beverly Bright, who originally approved

the murals, and Jess Farrell, who helped me to set up a table at the Pet Walk. I’d also like to thank the Jermyn, South Scranton, and Carbondale Girl Scout troops and their leaders, Robyn Smith, Mimi Palmere and Debbie Fay, respectively, for allowing me to come to their meetings. Members of my own Girl Scout troop. Sharon Snyder and Nicole Robinson, also helped make toys and beds, as did my Girl Scout leader Linda Snyder. Without all of these people, as well as so many more friends and family members, I never would have been able to earn my Gold Award, and I cannot thank all of them enough. “It is my hope that this project not only improved the lives of the animals at Griffin Pond, but that it also allowed the community to become educated about the shelter and inspired to volunteer,” said O’Neill. Visit the shelter’s website, griffinpondanimalshelter.com for more information. O’Neill and other Gold Award recipients from across central and northeastern Pennsylvania will be honored at a luncheon this summer.

How Chiropractic Helps Sciatica Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve. The pain usually radiates into one or both buttocks, descends the back of the leg and can sometimes be felt in the foot. Although there are numerous options that may temporarily help combat symptoms of sciatic pain and low back pain, Chiropractic care can provide more effective, long-term relief. Chiropractic care gets to the root of the problem by correcting the cause of pressure on the sciatic nerve. Once the pressure is relieved, the radiating, burning pain and other symptoms are relieved. In a study of 59 patients suffering from low back pain with radiating pain in the leg, 90% were helped with chiropractic care. Give yourself and your family the best gift of all- good health- by having regular spinal checkups.

The perfect wedding has to be perfectly planned

You’ve found your Prince Charming; he gave you a ring, and now you’re getting ready for the fairy tale wedding. It might be hard, but now is the time to stop dreaming and start preparing. On average, about one full year is necessary to look after all the details of your dream ceremony. There is a lot to think about and, more importantly, a lot of reservations to make!

Once the venue and caterer have been reserved, it’s time to find the right DJ to set the dance floor afire. If you opt for a more classical style of music, such as a string quartet, you should start looking even earlier; they are few and far between. You also need to book your professional photographer about six months before the wedding. You’ll be glad you bothered, when you’re leafing through your wedding album a few years down the road. And if you intend to go abroad for your honeymoon, book your tickets and hotel now. You’ll save precious dollars that can be invested instead in the decoration of your reception hall or in buying favours for your guests.

For example, if the wedding venue is booked only a few months before your big day, you may end up having to make compromises on such important details as the date or the services on offer. The same thing applies to the caterer. Supplying your guests with good food is paramount at a wedding. The company you were hoping to hire may no longer Where weddings are concerned, the rule is simple: be available if you only call a few weeks before the make all your reservations well in advance so you event. can get the top-quality professionals you want.

It isn’t just a myth — the church and reception hall might need to be reserved a year in advance.
