Fire companies throw bashes in two towns

by Christopher Cornell ADVANTAGE EDITOR

Warm summer nights are here and the annual roll call of area festivals is continuing. Coming up next are two festivals brought to you by your local fire company.

Already underway is Queen City Nights, sponsored by Olyphant Hose Co. No. 2 and Olyphant Hose Co. No. 8. It runs Friday and Saturday, July 10-11, at Willow St. and Nestor Chylak St. featuring food, amusement rides and games for kids, clams, bingo (sponsored by SS. Cyril’s and Methodius Ukrainian Catholic Church), basket raffles, vendors and, naturally, a beer tent. A firefighter’s parade will take place Saturday at 7 p.m.

The live music schedule includes The Tommy Guns Band on Friday and The Fallen on Saturday. Call 570-489-3473 or visit engine262.com for more information.

Starting up on Wednesday, July 15 and running for four nights is the annual Corn and Clam Slam, sponsored by the William Walker Hose Co., 803 Penn Ave. in Mayfield. The festivities get under way at 5 p.m. each night and the entertainment starts at 8 p.m. each night. Admission is free.

A new addition this year will be carnival rides and attractions.

The entertainment schedule includes Black Tie Stereo (July 15), Jigsaw Johnny (July 16), Graces Downfall (July 17) and the Jeffrey James Band (July 18). The Corn and Clam Slam Parade steps off Saturday, July 18, at 7 p.m.

Discounted pre-sale ride tickets are now available at both the Mayfield and Jermyn Borough Buildings during regular business hours. Pre-sale pricing is 10 tickets for $6. Tickets at the event will cost $10 for 10 tickets.

By Tim Petersen. A couple of months ago I was involved in a car crash. Not a bad one, just somewhat of a “fender bender”. I felt the only damage, at the time, was a small dent in my bumper. Unfortunately, a few days after I started feeling severe pain in my neck. I also had headaches, neck pain and tingling down my arm. When I called into work, my boss mentioned his Chiropractor. I am so glad he did. I called the office that day and was able to be seen that afternoon. I had a full spinal examination and Doc started treatment right away. And, since the injuries were caused by a car accident, my insurance paid 100%.

After the first week I was already feeling better. After just a few more weeks of care I was back to feeling like my old self again! I tell everyone I know that they can experience all the benefits of Chiropractic, too.

CAHS Auditorium Dedicated

Carbondale Area High School recently dedicated the school’s auditorium to Maureen Kania, a teacher, artist and mentor.

Kania served the Carbondale Area High School community for 30 years as a music teacher and drama director.

Kania died in 2011.

Born in Carbondale, daughter of the late William A. and Ruth A. Walsh Mussari, Kania was a graduate of Ben Franklin High School, and received a bachelor of arts degree in music from Marywood College.

She served as an adviser to the gifted

program and drama club. She was a pianist, a talent she shared with many children as their piano teacher. She was a former organist for the Methodist Church in Carbondale and director of Spark Gospel Singers for many years. She was very involved with local craft fairs to raise funds for many charitable organizations throughout the area.

Aside from her concerts and plays, she also organized talent shows, encouraged even the most reluctant students to overcome their stage fright and get up to sing and perform, collaborated with fellow teachers, and reportedly formed lasting connections with many students and parents.

What does owning a business mean to you?

To Mr. Genetti, owning a business means the opportunity to be an active part of the community. Not only does that mean providing a beautiful facility and quality service for local events, but also having the ability to give back.

What is the best part of owning your own business?

Mr. Genetti enjoys being able to offer the best service to everyone who walks through the doors. Receiving compliments on a job well done for each and every event is definitely the best part!

— Christopher Cornell
