Santa’s Ride

ON THE INSIDE The latest happenings in our area Page 2

December 4, 2015

by Christopher Cornell ADVANTAGE EDITOR

On Saturday morning, residents from Dickson City to Carbondale will hear something they don’t hear very often: horn blasts from a train as it makes its way up the seldom-used right-of-way.

In the mid- and up-valley, on the first weekend in December, that sound can mean only one thing.

The Santa Train is coming.

Yes, once again, Santa Claus will leave his sleigh at the North Pole and come to town early on a train, visiting five local communities before returning to Scranton and the Steamtown National Historic Site. “Christmas in a Small Town” is the official name for this event, now in its 18th year and sponsored by the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority (LHVA).

The Santa Train was the brainchild of Dominic Keating and the late Alan Sweeney, both local historians and train buffs. Sweeney was the chairman of the board of the LHVA and Keating has been a longtime member of the board of the County Rail Authority and also serves LHVA board.

In its first year, Santa arrived in Carbondale, Archbald and Jessup. In 1999, the Olyphant stop was added, and in 2000, Dickson City joined in the fun. Scranton became the final stop in 2010.

“The Santa Train not only highlights the spirit of the holidays, but it also demonstrates the pride and sense of community of the people throughout the Lackawanna Heritage Valley,” said Natalie Gelb, executive director of the LHVA. “It truly has become a tradition for families and for many who return ‘home’ every year to be part of this wonderful event that represents the best of our heritage.”

The Doug Smith All-Star Band will perform at every stop and this year’s juggler will be Jamie Orfanella, a teacher at Valley View Middle School.

Every community adds its own special touches.

In Carbondale, (10:30 a.m.) “a horse-drawn carriage escorts guests from the train station to Carbondale’s City Hall for a holiday party,” explained Owen Worozbyt, trail and environmental projects manager and the LHVA. Carbondale’s Memorial Park will be the scene for the “Christmas Shops in the Park,” a group of vendors (inside heated tents) will be offering

Santa Claus makes a grand entrance in 2013.

plenty of holiday gift items. There will also be horse and carriage rides.

At the Archbald stop (11:35 a.m.), “with strains of ‘Here Comes Santa Claus’ being played by the Valley View High School Band, Santa and Mrs. Claus hold court at the station as excited youngsters line up to sit on Santa’s lap,” noted Tom McHugh, LHV educational coordinator. “The celebration also includes food and refreshments, such as hot dogs, hot chocolate and cookies.” At 11 a.m., there will be a dedication ceremony in honor of Kenny Propst, who was instrumental in bringing the Santa Train to the Borough.

When the train arrives in Jessup (12:20 p.m.), the town’s annual “Christmas Happening” celebration is already underway. Among the activities, “children enjoy making arts and crafts with the guidance of students from the Valley View school district,” said Worozbyt.

The Ed Giombetti and Tony Wrightson family, and the Rick and Joanne Pirrami family will be this year’s honorary chair families. A Nativity puppet show will be presented, and the Valley View Middle School choir will sing Christmas carols.

At the Olyphant stop (1 p.m.), “after greeting the crowd at the station, elves whisk Santa away on a

TIMES TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO

sleigh and off to a community party,” Worozbyt said.

In Dickson City (1:45 p.m.) “guests enjoy a holiday environment inside the train station with a warm fire and decorated tree where Santa and Mrs. Claus welcome the children with a special holiday gift, hot chocolate and other refreshments,” said McHugh.

Among the festivities at the last stop at Scranton’s Steamtown National Historic Site (2:45 p.m.) officials will be accepting non-perishable food items to donate to United Neighborhood Center’s food drive.

“The engineers and conductors are volunteers at Steamtown National Historic Site,” said Debbie Conway, superintendent at the site, “and they love being part of this event. We couldn’t host this event or run most of train excursions without them.”

Conway adds this safety reminder: while the conductors and trainmen “walk” the train into each station “it’s always good to remind folks to hold on to their children’s hands and to stay off the tracks at all times. We know everyone likes to see the train up close, but it is best to do that once it is in the station and safely stopped.”

The Purse and the Chiropractor

Many of my female new patients have suffered for years with back pain, muscle spasms and achy joints which eventually result in pinched nerves. I meet with them, review their history, examine them and discuss their common complaint of achy, very achy, shoulders that gradually evolves into pain and numbness in their arms and hands. But that’s not the similarity. What I have noticed with many of them is their purse, which can often be better described as a sack or gym bag.

I sometimes think they are ready to “run away from home” at a moment’s notice.

Ladies! My point is, if your body is aching every day -- check your purse. If it hurts to pick it up or seems to heavy for daily toting, give it a “makeover” and lighten the load.

I welcome the opportunity to treat your aches and pains, but you just may be able to save yourself a few Chiropractic visits.

The Pioneer City Christmas Ball was initiated thirteen years ago with the intention to raise money for the many civic-minded organizations in the Greater Carbondale area. In the past 12 years, it has raised more than $100,000 for local organizations.

Each ticket purchased for the Ball has a chance to win one of many gifts. These gifts include monetary prizes totaling $10,000 (with a top prize of $2,500), holiday wreaths and gift certificates from local businesses. This year proceeds from the Ball will go to The Greater Carbondale YMCA, Forest City Lettermen’s Club, Carbondale Senior Center and Dimes from Heaven Foundation.

West Scranton Commissioner Patrick O’Malley announces the food drive. With him is Lackawanna County Director of Buildings and Maintenance, Kevin Shaughnessy.

The Lackawanna County Commissioners are organizing a systemwide food drive in order to stock local food pantries to help residents enjoy a traditional holiday season dinner with their families.

“This is all about taking care of others in their time of need,” explained Commissioner Patrick M. O’Malley.

“This is a difficult time of year for many as the cold and winter sets in. This is our way of helping people get back on their feet and enjoy a holiday dinner with their families without any additional worries,” noted Commissioner Edward G. Staback.

The drive will run from through Friday, Dec. 18, with containers being placed on the floors or vestibules of all county offices in central Scranton, Mayfield and Jessup along with the Airport, COLTS and the Visitors Bureau.

County employees and residents are asked to bring in non-perishable canned fruits, vegetables and sauces, coffee, tea, rice, pasta, stuffing, potatoes, soup, peanut butter, condiments, cookies, crackers or snacks to drop-off in the containers.

The bins will be checked and emptied by the County’s Buildings & Grounds Department and stored in one central location for distribution before Christmas.

Once the drive is over, the goods will be divided-up according to the food categories that were donated. The food will then be delivered to area organizations, pantries, shelters, disaster relief agencies, emergency and food assistance spots, church groups, schools, voucher programs, soup kitchens, rescue missions and community centers throughout the County for these operations to use or distribute to their clients.

Ken Okrepkie, regional manager of Ben Franklin Technology partners and president of the board of directors of SLIBCO (Scranton-Lackawanna Industrial Building Company) addresses the crowd during the grand opening of the Carbondale Technology Transfer Center’s Electronics Makerspace.

The Carbondale Technology Transfer Center (CTTC), 10 Enterprise Drive in Carbondale, recently hosted a grand opening celebration for its new Electronics Makerspace.

The 500-square-foot CTTC space houses incubator space for technology tenants, featuring a unique “lease-a-facility” model where tenants pay for time on equipment.

Center officials say that their hopes for the facility include fixed tenants that will offer jobs to area workers.

“We believe the Electronics Makerspace meets an industry need by allowing small runs of custom made parts, even a single part at a time. By using our equipment, innovative businesses will be able to protect intellectual property and maintain quality control issues when these needs are met by outsourcing, particularly overseas,” said Paul Browne, CTTC executive

director. “This effort is a step forward for rebuilding the U.S. electronics manufacturing industry.”

The CTTC began in the mid-1990s as a 10,000 square-foot space for technology and small light manufacturing operations.

Now comprising more than 30,000 square feet, the center houses office space, a commercial kitchen and 500 square feet of Electronics Makerspace. The Makerspace hosts workbenches, shelving and three machines that allow for the manufacturing of prototypes or small lots of electronic circuit boards. Tenants of the CTTC Incubator include PROVA Systems, 3 Guys and a Beer’d and JKF Technologies.
