Jessup throws its annual Family Day festival

by Christopher Cornell ADVANTAGE EDITOR

We’re headed into Independence Day weekend, and all over Northeastern Pennsylvania, residents will be celebrating with parties, barbecues and, of course, fireworks.

In our area, the big party will be the Family Day Celebration Sunday, July 5, at Veteran’s Memorial Field in Jessup, sponsored by the Jessup 21st Century Association and Jessup Borough. This will be the 20th year for the event, which features performances, music and food stands. Donations will be accepted at the gates.

The festivities will begin at 7 p.m. with a martial arts demonstration by the students at Tiger Kai Karate of the Spectrum Gym in Blakely.

They’ll be followed at 7:30 p.m. by a hair-raising performance from Rob the Juggler and a demonstration by students from the AMR Gymnastics Center in Archbald.

At 8 p.m., Jus4Fun deejays Samantha and Glenn will be spinning tunes into the night.

If you’re hungry, the St. Ubaldo Society will host the food stand, offering hot dogs, wimpies, popcorn, ice cream, pierogies, pizza, cake, soda and coffee.

For the kids, there’ll be face painting and a bounce house.

Fireworks begin at 9:30 p.m. And don’t forget to bring blankets, lawn chairs and maybe some bug spray.

If one night of fireworks isn’t enough, here are a few other options nearby: July 3 • Philharmonic & fireworks. Music, vendors and fireworks in downtown Scranton. The Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. Courthouse Square, Scranton. 570963-6800 or lackawannacounty.org.

Chiropractic Helps Veterans With Back Pain When people think of injuries from war, they imagine veterans with visible injuries and disabilities.

But there’s a invisible injury of war that is often overlooked: chronic back pain. Chronic back pain can be a debilitating barrier for veterans attempting to reestablish their lives as civilians. Fortunately, new research has confirmed the power of Chiropractic in treating veterans with low-back pain.

A recent study tracked the progress of 171 veterans receiving Chiropractic care in the New York area.

Chiropractors in the study used therapy, adjustments and stretching to treat Veterans. After just two Chiropractic treatments, 60% of veterans improved significantly. The majority of patients experienced reduced pain, better daily functioning, decreased disability, and improvements in both anxiety and depression. With the growing occurrence of back pain among Veterans, Chiropractors have stepped up to successfully treat injured service members.

Chiropractic care can be a crucial component in helping Vets recover from war and restore the healthy life they deserve.

Two senior girls at Carbondale Area initiated a Jared Box Project toy drive at the school. Brooke Juice and Taira Tonkin heard about the Jared Box Project toy drive and decided to petition the student body and school community to donate a large number of toys for kids who are confined to hospitals due to chronic conditions.

The Jared Box project was started in 2001 by the children at Our Lady of Victory School in State College to honor their classmate and friend, Jared, who battled cancer.

A Jared Box is a plastic storage box filled with small gifts, toys, games and fun activities. Each box contains items selected for a specific age and gender. The boxes are delivered to hospitals. More than 200,000 Jared Boxes have been delivered across the United States.

A group of students from Carbondale Area High School recently participated in the Youth Day of Caring.

As part of this program, 10 students helped prepare for PreK graduation at the Greater Carbondale YMCA. They also did community trash pickup and worked in the preschool classrooms making packets.

Five students went to the United Neighborhood Centers’ Carbondale Senior Center to entertain with musical and drama selections as well as general clean-up/spruce-up work, helping with lunch and interacting with the seniors.

Another 10 students provided friendly visitation at the Carbondale Nursing and Rehab Center and participated in activities with residents at the facility.
