Back row: Bob Durkin, president of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce; Jerry Musheno, board chair of Skills in Scranton; Lisa Ross, education outreach coordinator for Educator in the Workplace; and Amy Luyster, vice president of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce.
Skills in Scranton, the workforce development affiliate of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, recently hosted its first Educator in the Workplace cohort on logistics and transportation. Among the teachers on hand were Sandra Liparulo of the Mid Valley School District. Offered through a collaboration between the Lackawanna County Workforce Development Board and Skills in Scranton, Educators in the Workplace seeks to align and connect business and industry leaders with local school districts, the career and technical center and the local intermediate unit. The program provides Lackawanna County educators with a week-long industry immersion experience in one of four industry specific cohorts. “We are pleased to be partnering with the Lackawanna County Workforce Development Board to connect our businesses with teachers, students and families, regarding real job opportunities here in our region,” said Bob Durkin, president, The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce. For the logistics and transportation session, participants discovered a wide variety of career paths that they could introduce to their students as potential future opportunities. “We are excited to be working with The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce and the Skills in Scranton Program,” said Joe Stagnaro, division president, McLane Company. “Our goal is to expose educa-
tors to the exciting career opportunities in logistics, while strengthening the workplace bond between the community and local businesses; knowing that our students will ultimately benefit as they prepare to enter the workforce.” Participants in the logistics and transportation cohort spent two days at the chamber learning about the industry, as well as services available, and completing classroom integration planning. They spent three days on-site at either Kane Is Able or McLane Company. Regional partners from Pennsylvania Career Link Lackawanna County, The Scranton Plan, Penn State Scranton, Johnson College, Luzerne County Community College, Express Employment Professionals and OneSource Staffing Solutions spoke with educators about the industry and services available to job seekers locally. “Kane Is Able is honored and excited to participate in this year’s Educators in the Workplace program,” said Alex Stark, senior director of marketing, Kane is Able. “We’re passionate about spreading the news and getting visibility to the logistics and transportation industry. When logistics is working well, and this is mostly an exceptions business, the industry works silently behind the scenes. That’s optimal for business, however, not ideal for getting on young peoples’ radars as a career opportunity. We hope that through successful programs like Educators in the Workshop.

LOW BACK PAIN PATIENT
“I was suffering from LOW BACK PAIN. A friend recommended Physical Therapy Associates of NEPA because she had gone there for a knee injury and had great results. I am so happy she did! I loved the therapists’ willingness to listen to what I was feeling. Not only did they treat the immediate issue, they made sure to address the underlying problem to prevent future problems! I found my experience at PT Associates to be PERFECT. My back pain went away and my therapist gave me stretches and exercises to stay PAIN FREE!! I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone that needs physical therapy. They were kind, dedicated and determined to help!” - Kevin

Welcoming New Patients
Carbondale Area students were among the winners of the Lackawanna/Susquehanna office of Drug and Alcohol holiday poster contest. The purpose of the contest is to provide students with an educational opportunity to artistically demonstrate the consequences of substance abuse. The poster design had to reflect the holiday season with a corresponding message on not drinking or driving and celebrating sober. From left: Cayden Watts, Erin These students, whose artwork McHale and Emily Moser. was chosen from approximately 900 entries, included seventh-grader Jessica Esbensen, who won first place in the billboard contest. Esbensen’s artwork will be displayed on a billboard in Carbondale during the month of April 2019. Carbondale Area High School had three of the five finalists chosen as winners in the high school holiday billboard contest. They are: Emily Moser (honorable mention); Erin McHale (second place) and first-place winner Cayden Watts. Watts’ artwork will be displayed on billboards, posters and buttons distributed throughout Lackawanna County during the holiday season.

Most people realize that Chiropractors are the most common doctors to see after a car accident. In fact, many research studies have proven Chiropractic to be superior to any other form of medical treatment for whiplash injuries. But what many people may not realize is that within the Chiropractic profession there are specialists who deal primarily with Car Accident injuries. I have taken many hours of advanced training in diagnosing and treating car crash injuries as well as automobile crash dynamics, research and even courtroom procedures. Waking up with a stiff neck from a day of gardening is not the same as a stiff neck after a motor vehicle collision. As such the two must be treated entirely differently and the time it takes and the ultimate outcome differ widely as well. A car accident Chiropractor like myself will be able to help you achieve these goals and get you better as quickly as possible.
