“Whether just a page, a chapter or a whole book,” summertime reading is vital. Nicole VanLuvender, principal, Riverside East Elementary. “Of course, one of the best and most important things kids can do is summer reading. This will help them to build vocabulary and keep their minds engaged. Kids can form their own summer reading clubs and use their favorite platform, social media, to discuss the books. Parents can help facilitate the discussions by generating some questions to spark the discussion among the kids. “Another way to engage kids is to have a yard sale. Let the kids select the items they want to let go and have them set a price for their items. Have them do some research as to what reasonable yard sale pricing is and talk with them about donating the items that don’t sell. The bonus with this activity is the kids get to practice basic math skills to add up their earnings while the parent gets a cleaned-out play room. “Gardening or a trip to the farmer’s market is a great way to expose kids to new
foods and try out some different recipes. Have kids create their own recipe, or find one in a cookbook or on the internet they’d like to try. Cooking is a great way to connect with your children and learn about each other as food always brings people together. Any families with students at Riverside East-West or the High School can register for the Free Children’s Produce Market which will be held at Riverside West on Tuesdays, July 23 and Aug. 20, noon to 2 p.m. You can call Riverside West or send an email to Nicole VanLuvender, principal at Riverside West, to register for either summer date. “Have a backyard family camp-out or watch a movie under the stars. If you don’t have a tent or don’t have a backyard, set up blankets and pillows in your living room and have everyone (parents and kids) spend the night in your homemade camp site. You can make popcorn, tell scary stories and play some games all while making memories that will last a lifetime.”

“Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” This portion of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner has long stayed with me. Of course, they describe a situation I have never experienced: The mariner, long stuck in the doldrums, experiences the greatest irony. He is surrounded by water, yet he is dying of thirst, since he cannot rehydrate himself from the salt sea. (By the way, the poem has a 19th century environmental message, but that’s your homework). Having come through one of the wettest springs on record, some of us are experiencing a similar irony. Our plants have had so much to drink that they are thirsty. All right, I realize this is a bit of an over simplification, but the truth is that water can suffocate plants. Plants that can’t breathe also can’t drink. And if you cannot drink, soon you become thirsty. The photo shows ponding on a lawn 24 hours after the sun came out. If there is water above ground, imagine the soil below ground. Healthy soil is composed of macro- and micro-pores. The water in micro-pores is held by molecular attraction, like a magnet. The water in macro-pores is held by capacity and gravity. If there is capacity, the water will move lower in the soil, leaving empty macro-pores above. If the macro-pores are empty, they contain oxygen that the roots use to breathe. However,

A puddle remains on a lawn, even 24 hours after the sun came out. if the capacity fills up below, then the macro-pores fill up above. When soil has exceeded maximum capacity, it is obvious because puddles form and remain at the surface, waiting for evaporation, not drainage to dry them. So the first respiratory problem is that the macro-pores are full of water and not air. And the plants can’t breathe. The second respiratory problem results from cultivation. We Americans have all followed the 20th century Joneses’ suburban mandate: Every open space must have a lawn. And every lawn must be mowed. Mowing the lawn means driving something on it regularly, and this driving or walking smashes the macro-pores, especially when they are wet. So now the roots can’t breathe because their air tanks are gone. What should you do if you have a lawn pond? Think back, before the pond years, this ground was always softer than other places. Perhaps you should consider planting an informal rain garden. (A formal rain garden requires engineering). Choose beautiful plants that have different maintenance and respiratory needs. These plants accept hydrologic variability. In other words, they can survive both a good soak and a periodic dry spell. Plant this kind of garden and not only will you have new varieties of plants and wildlife to watch, you’ll have less to mow, and your mower won’t get stuck anymore.

Nineteen high school students graduated from The University of Scranton’s University of Success, a multi-year, pre-college program. From left: Noah McDonald, Carmen J. Perry and Margaret Loughney, University of Success program director. Old Forge students were among the 19 high school students who completed The University of Scranton’s University of Success program, a multi-year, pre-college program that is designed for high school students to develop the skills needed to successfully gain acceptance to college. All the graduates have been admitted to post-secondary schools or chose to enlist in military service. Students enter the University of Success at the completion of the eighth grade and continue through their high school years. The program offers enrichment courses in study skills, SAT prep, public speaking, math, science, art and cultural activities, as well as financial aid and wellness seminars. The ultimate goal is for University of Success students to be accepted into a four-year college or university.
The University of Success, offered free of charge to participants, is funded almost entirely by corporate and foundation grants. Donors to the program include AT&T, Charles A. Frueauff Foundation, Dime Bank, Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank, Kuehner Family Foundation, MetLife Foundation, Overlook Estate Foundation, Peoples Security Bank and Trust, Prudential Foundation, Scranton Area Foundation, Waste Management, Weis Markets and Wells Fargo. The following is a list of local University of Success graduates, the high school they attended, and their post-high school plans. • Noah McDonald of Old Forge, who attended Old Forge High School, plans to attend Bloomsburg University; • Carmine Perry of Old Forge, who attended Old Forge High School, plans to attend Colgate University.
The Old Forge Historical Society will hold its inaugural car show on Sunday, June 30, at the Eagle McClure Hose Co., 375 Milwaukee Ave. in Old Forge, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. All types of motorized vehicles are welcome. There will be DJ music, ice cream by Piccs, with food and beverages. Awards will be given for best in show, top five and peoples’ choice.

Amy’s sweet, uncomplicated life begins to unravel when the mysterious and alluring Angelica Roux arrives on her doorstep one book club night. Sultry and magnetic, Roux beguiles the group with her feral charm. She keeps the wine flowing and lures them into a game of spilling secrets. Everyone thinks it’s naughty, harmless fun. Only Amy knows better. Something wicked has come her way, a she-devil in a pricey red sports car who seems to know the terrible truth about who she is and what she once did. When they’re alone, Roux tells her that if she doesn’t give her what she asks for, what she deserves, she’s going to make Amy pay for her sins. One way or another. To protect herself and her family and save the life she’s built, Amy must beat the devil at her own clever game, matching wits with Roux in an escalating war of hidden pasts and unearthed secrets. Amy knows the consequences if she can’t beat Roux. What terrifies her is everything she could lose if she wins. “Searching for Sylvie Lee” by Jean Kwok Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older daughter of the Lee family, flies to the “Such a Perfect Wife” by Kate White Netherlands for one final visit with her On a sunny morning in late September, dying grandmother and then vanishes.

England town none of them have ever heard of and discovers a side of her garden club mother that her wildest dreams hadn’t imagined. Zoe has another family. Her first instinct is to run home. Instead she is caught in the middle of her feuding new relatives. With one family fighting among themselves and the other not speaking to her, Zoe must somehow find a way to bridge her new life with her old. For the first time in her life, Zoe must make a stand for her family, both of them. If only she can only figure out how. Her answer lies at Wind Chime Beach where for generations people have come to add their chimes to the ones already left among the trees. When the wind blows and the air fills with music, their secrets, dreams and hopes are sent into the world. There’s a message for Zoe here if only she has the courage to open her heart. “Dark Storm” by Karen Harper Forensic psychologist Claire Markwood has experienced her share of disaster. But nothing could prepare her for her sister, Darcy, going missing. Claire rushes to the butterfly sanctuary where Darcy has been working, prepared to do what she does best—work the clues. But her sister, along with her car and some of the sanctuary’s rarest species of butterflies, has seemingly vanished without a trace. Amid a flurry of mysterious leads and dead ends, Claire and her criminal lawyer husband, Nick, tap every resource at their disposal. But the deeper they dig, the more unsettling the case becomes, dredging up old family secrets that shake the foundation of everything Claire thought to be true. Because some secrets aren’t just threatening, they’re deadly. “The Last Widow” by Karin Slaughter On a hot summer night, a scientist from the Centers for Disease Control is grabbed by unknown assailants in a shopping center parking lot. Vanished into thin air, the authorities are desperate to save the doctor. One month later, the serenity of a Sunday afternoon is shattered by the boom of a ground-shaking blast closely followed by another seconds later. One of Atlanta’s busiest and most important neighborhood’s has been bombed, the location of Emory University, two major hospitals, the FBI headquarters and the CDC. Medical examiner Sara Linton and her partner Will Trent rush to the scene and into a deadly conspiracy that threatens to destroy thousands of innocent lives. When the assailants abduct Sara, Will goes undercover to save her and prevent a massacre, putting his own life on the line for the woman and the country he loves.
“The Golden Hour” by Beatriz Williams In 1941 recently widowed Leonora “Lulu” Randolph arrives in Nassau to interview the governor and his wife for a New York society magazine. American readers have an insatiable appetite for news of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor what can be a more intriguing backdrop for their romance than a wartime Caribbean paradise? Or so Lulu imagines, but as she enters the Duke and Duchess’s social circle, and the powerful cabal that controls the islands’ political and financial affairs, she uncovers evidence that beneath the glister of Wallis and Edward’s marriage lies an ugly and even treasonous reality. In fact, Windsor-era Nassau seethes with spies, financial swindles, and racial tension, and in the middle of it all stands Benedict Thorpe, a scientist of tremendous charm and shady national loyalties. Inevitably, the willful and wounded Lulu falls in love. Then Nassau’s wealthiest man is murdered in one of the most notorious cases of the century, and the resulting cover-up reeks of royal privilege. Benedict Thorpe disappears without a trace, and Lulu embarks on a journey to London and beyond to seek out Thorpe’s complicated family history a fateful love affair, a wartime tragedy and a mother from whom all joy is stolen. Just what will Lulu find and how far will she go to find it? “Bad Axe County” by John Galligan Fifteen years ago, Heidi White’s parents were shot to death on their Bad Axe County farm. The police declared it a murder-suicide and closed the case. That night, Heidi found the one clue she knew could lead to the truth, if only the investigators would listen. Now Heidi White is the wife of local baseball legend Harley Kick and mother of three small children. She’s also the interim sheriff in Bad Axe. Half the county wants Heidi elected but the other half will do anything to keep her out of law enforcement. As a deadly ice storm makes it way to Bad Axe, tensions rise and long-buried secrets climb to the surface. Now Heidi finds herself on the trail of a missing teenaged girl. Clues lead her down twisted paths to backwoods stag parties, derelict dairy farms, and the local salvage yard, where the body of a different teenage girl has been carefully hidden for a decade. Soon Heidi realizes that someone is planting clues for her to find, leading her to some unpleasant truths that point to the local baseball team and a legendary game her husband pitched years ago. With a murder to solve, a missing girl to save, and a monster to bring to justice, Heidi is on the cusp of shaking her community to its core and finding out what really happened the night her parents died
