Lakeland H.S. presents ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ by Christopher Cornell ADVANTAGE EDITOR

Lakeland High School kicks off the spring musical season this weekend as the Curtain Club presents “Once Upon a Mattress” Friday and Saturday, Feb. 20-21, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 22, at 3 p.m. in the high school auditorium, 1569 Lakeland Drive in Scott Township. Tickets are $10; $5 for students and kids younger than 10 will be admitted free. Tickets are available at the door, and all seats are on a first-come-first-served basis. The family-friendly comedy is based on the beloved story of “The Princess and the Pea,” complete with a wicked queen, funny king, handsome prince, beautiful ladies-in-waiting, knights, a jester and a minstrel. It ran on Broadway for 244 performances. Lakeland’s production is artistically directed by teacher Catherine Carter and musically directed by Bryan Brophy. “Bryan Brophy and I chose ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ this year because we felt it was a good show that would showcase Lakeland talent,” Carter said. “Also, this show was a favorite choice of the students involved. Carter said the main challenge this year has been the weather, specifically in relationship to the performance dates, which are much earlier than other years. “At this point we have lost at least 10 rehearsals because of weather-related closings, early dismissals and cancellation of school activities on the weekend,” she explained. Other major challenges include working around the other activities in which the cast is involved. “We are very proud of Lakeland’s winning Mock Trial team, of which some of our cast is a part,” she noted. “They continue to rehearse

and perform in their mock trial competitions, even as we are coming up on our musical performance dates. “Many ladies in our cast are cheerleaders who choreograph and practice their routines before the season begins, then perform at all of the basketball games during the season, which is going on the entire time we rehearse for the musical.” Behind the scenes, William Mentz of Covington Studios is designing and constructing Lakeland’s set and lighting. The set will be delivered to the school one week before the performance dates. Cast and crew members will have that week to adjust to actual set and prop pieces and learn how/when to move the

set during the show. Carter’s team has also been hard at work finding the myriad of costumes needed. “We thank Taney’s Costumes in Scranton, as well as Lackawanna Trail High School and Dunmore High School for helping us to costume our production.” Carter noted that a large number of seventh graders joined the Curtain Club this year, and help to round out the cast. “Tyler Jones, who plays the mute King Sextimus, is joining the drama club on stage for the first time this year; normally Tyler works backstage on crew. Also, there will be several Lakeland students performing in the pit band for “Once Upon a Mattress.”

Back Pain How To Solve It!

Did you know studies show that 80-90% of all Americans will suffer from back pain at some time in their life? Some will have pain that comes and goes. Others will experience pain that stays and becomes chronic. Many times, back pain that comes and goes gradually becomes chronic if it is not treated properly. Most back pain is mechanical in nature. This means, in most cases, it is caused by your spine not moving and working properly. I have given relief to thousands of Lackawanna County residents since I first opened my office in 1986. I’ve had the pleasure of providing safe, gentle and effective chiropractic treatment for relief of back pain, neck pain, headaches and various joint pains to many of your neighbors in my offices in Dickson and Dunmore. Whether your pain is from disc bulges, disc herniation, an auto accident, carpal tunnel syndrome or just the stresses of daily life and work, give me a call and come in for a consultation this week.

Mal, a local true-crime author, been writing about bizarre murders in this area for some time.

Her second book, “Disposable Income: A True Story of Sex, Greed and Im-PurrFect Murder,” looks at the murder of Anna Homeyer by her playboy husband, Charles, in their Factoryville home in the spring of 1950. In her new book, “Tortured Minds: Pennsylvania’s Most Bizarre — But Forgotten — Murders,” Mal discusses four of the strangest cases in the Commonwealth’s history.

Fire, EMS Companies Get Funds State Rep. Frank Farina has announced that 18 fire companies in his legislative district will receive more than $230,000 in state grants. The funding comes from the Fire Company and Volunteer Ambulance Service Grant Program, funded by gaming revenue. Expanded in 2013, its annual funding increased from $25 million to $30 million, and eligibility was extended to include 35 municipal fire departments, as well as volunteer-based groups across the state. The 2013 changes to the program increased the maximum grant to fire departments to $15,000 and raised the average grant to $12,000, while volunteer ambulance companies now have their maximum grant of $10,000 with the average grant amount raised to $5,600. Grants can be used toward repairing, building or renovating facilities. The money also can be applied toward the purchase of new equipment, staff training and certification or debt repayment related to equipment purchases or facility building and maintenance. “Our first responders put their lives on the line every day,” Farina said. “These grants help ensure that these heroes have the proper training and equipment to pre-

pare them for their hazardous duties.” Grant recipients by community include: Archbald Community Ambulance and Rescue Squad, $7,444.80; Archbald Hose Co. No. 1, $13,730.67; Blakely Borough Community Ambulance Fire, $14,284.70; Blakely Borough Community Ambulance Fire, $7,440.80; Blakely Hose Co. No. 2, $14,284.70; Eynon Sturges Volunteer Hose Co. No. 3, $25,784.70; Jessup Hose Co. No. 1, $12,345.61; Jessup Hose Co. No. 2 Fire Co., $14,284.70; Jessup Hose Co. No. 2 EMS, $7,440.80; Eureka Hose Co. No. 4 (Olyphant), $12,622.62; Excelsior Hose Co. No. 1 (Olyphant), $14,284.70; Liberty Hose Co. No. 6 (Olyphant), $11,514.58; Olyphant Ambulance EMS, $ 7,444.80; Olyphant Hose Co. No. 2, $13,730.67; Peckville Wilson Fire Co. No. 1, $13,453.66; Throop Hose Co. No. 1, $13,453.66; and Throop Volunteer Hose Co. No. 3, $13,176.65. “Thanks to all the first responders who have taken the responsibility to protect us and provide critical health care,” Farina said. “I will continue to work for additional resources so firefighters can have the equipment, training and facilities to do their jobs.”

Scout Sunday is celebrated as an anniversary of the beginning of the Boy Scouts of America. Typically celebrated on the second Sunday of February, the church has a special Mass each year to honor the Boy Scouts.
