Summer’s not over yet. By a quirk of the calendar (which already gave us an extra week after Memorial Day) we still have more than two weeks until Labor Day, and the unofficial end of summer. Let’s make the most of it.

Topping the menu of possibilities is Pioneer Nights, downtown Carbondale’s annual festival, which is already underway and continues through Saturday, Aug. 22. On Friday, the event opens at 5 p.m. and finishes up at 11 p.m. On Saturday the party starts at 11 a.m. and doesn’t end until midnight.

On the main stage on General O’Malley Way, the Friday lineup has Lynnette’s Twirlerettes performing at 6:30 p.m., followed by Ablaze at 7 p.m. On Saturday, Farmer’s Daughter takes the stage at 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday in Memorial Park, the fourth annual Antiques in the Park show will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (See page 2 for more information).

At 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, a train excursion from the Steamtown Historical Site in Scranton will arrive, bringing a load of visitors to the party. You may want to welcome them at the train station.

Also on Saturday, the Carbondale Public Library will be holding a book and bake sale, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Chamber Art Gallery, 27 N. Main St., will feature an art exhibit entitled “A Step into an Alternative Universe,” featuring artists Sonia Munson, Dr. Sam Wallace and Ralph Meakin.

Trolley-bus rides will depart Carbondale City Hall on Saturday, at 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m., offering a guided tour around the entire city.

The Pioneer Nights Parade steps off on Saturday at 6 p.m. and comes up Main Street. The

Horse-and-carriage rides are among the attractions at Carbondale’s Pioneer Nights.

day ends with fireworks at dusk.

Meanwhile, Jessup Hose Co. No. 2, 333 Hill St., will host its fourth annual Summer Wine Festival Saturday, Aug. 22, noon to 6 p.m.

Twelve Pennsylvania wineries will have their products available for tasting and sale. More than 40 other specialty vendors and 10 food vendors, with everything from pasta to seafood, will also be in attendance. There will be live entertainment, games and a basket raffle along with instant bingo available all day.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $25 at the gate the day of the event. Under 21 and designated driver tickets will be available for $5.

Discount tickets are available in advance from hose company members, at the fire station and at selected businesses. Tickets can also be purchased LocalWineEvents.com.

The following day, Sunday, Aug. 23, in Jessup, Citizens for a Healthy Jessup will hold a Concert in the Park 5-9 p.m. at Jessup’s Station Park on Church Road in downtown Jessup.

The event will feature various performers

Degenerative Arthritis Wear and tear of the joints of the body leads to arthritis which strikes many Mid-Valley residents over the age of 45. The flexible joints in the spine are affected most frequently, but arthritis also involves the shoulders, arms, hands, hips and knees. Based upon my years of experience and a number of interesting studies, I believe that Chiropractic may be the most beneficial treatment for the loss of motion and increase in pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis.

The frequent feature of this disorder is lack of mobility. Once a joint becomes immobile or locked, it will begin to degenerate. Chiropractic treatment is a time proven method to loosen the stiff joints thereby increasing mobility and decreasing pain. Too often patients are told “you have arthritis and you will have to learn to live with it.” In our offices on a daily basis we treat people in their 70s and their 80s whose spines are severely degenerated. They often respond very favorably to our treatment. Pass this information on to anyone you know with arthritis.

Flag-Raising Ceremony

Turning 103

Recently, the Greater Carbondale YMCA held a flag-raising ceremony for a flag it received that flew over the Pennsylvania state Capital. Many community members — along with the YMCA’s preschool children, the Y’s day campers and Russell Park’s day campers — had the honor of witnessing the changing of the flags by the American Legion in Jermyn. There were patriotic songs, with music provided by the Grabow Family Singers.

Wilfred Fritz recently marked his 103rd birthday with a family gathering. Lackawanna County Commissioner Patrick M. O’Malley (inside left) participated in the celebration by presenting him with a proclamation marking the milestone. Fritz now lives in a nursing/ personal care home in Carbondale.

Scholarship Recipients

Four-year renewable college scholarship awards for students graduating from high schools in Lackawanna County have been made possible through the James F. Swift Scholarship Fund, administered by the Scranton Area Foundation.

A total of 72 scholarships are currently active, including 54 renewed awards and 18 new awards just approved by the foundation. The total amount of the scholarship grants to date is $1,856,000 and the 146 students who received them have graduated from high schools throughout Lackawanna County.

The James F. Swift Scholarship Fund was created through a gift to the Scranton Area Foundation in 2002 to provide support for higher education of young people in Lackawanna County.

With the addition of this bequest to the scholarship fund, a greater number of Lackawanna County students have been able to pursue their academic and professional goals through higher education, officials say, adding that in future years, the scholarship will provide an ongoing

stream of matriculation at Lackawanna County colleges and universities. The foundation’s goal is to award 75 percent of the scholarships to students who plan to attend institutions of higher learning.

Students from the area include: Breann Boyarsky of Scott Township, Morgan Caselli of Peckville, Emily Kotcho of Jermyn, Moriah Mauro of Carbondale, Morgan Sedorovitz of Mayfield, Maria Berg of Dickson City, Karissa Caffrey of Carbondale, Brian Martines of Carbondale, Gina Morgese of Carbondale, Ashley Opalka of Carbondale, Kelly Reap of Dickson City, Gerald Bannon of Carbondale, Vania Barrenechea of Dickson City, Seth Cardona of Dickson City, Madison Caudullo of Carbondale, Jessica Lochie of Blakely, Alyssa Muchisky of Archbald, Amanda Walter of Archbald, Nathan Morgan of Scott Township, David Shorten Jr. of Jessup and Kylie Verespy of Olyphant.
