Thank you. –Robin Green, Scranton, via email Dear Happenings, Thank you for featuring Hillside Farms in your June publication! We agree with our Executive Director, Chet Mozloom who stated, “let kids get dirt under their nails.” Fantastic edition filled with true wisdom from our colleagues throughout this glorious region! The article is wonderful and tells the perfect story of Hillside's mission. Plus, being featured on the front cover was amazing to see! Thank you so much everything. –Suzanne Kelly, via email Dear Happenings, The article was great (Green Leaders 2015, June 2015) and I hope it brings some attention to our museum and what we do here.

Dear Readers,
I
n Janet and Dean Ross’ lake house (page 82) she has a sign that says, “If you’re lucky enough to live at the lake, you’re lucky enough.” That’s a sign I hope to have in my house one day. As one who has a passion for lakes, I thoroughly enjoy each of our July issues, as we provide creative ways to enjoy the beautiful lakes that surround our region in addition to those that are within a mere two hour drive. Lakes have played an important backdrop in my life. Because my birthday is in July, many of my childhood celebrations were spent at a lake. Years later, family reunions and vacations were enjoyed lakeside and perhaps, because he knew it was my favorite setting… my husband proposed at dinner, on the shores of a lake.
their laughter; I try to imagine the food they might be enjoying, the style of bathing suits they might be wearing and the life and stress that they may have left behind in whatever city they escaped from. The great thing about a lake is that few components need to change year after year. There are no new versions to download. If you run out of energy a quick nap in a hammock is sure to re-charge your battery. And the biggest decision you may have to make is for how long you want to roast your marshmallow. Please enjoy our July 2015 issue, and tell us about the many ways you love spending time at a lake. Fondly,
Sometimes when I am lying on a dock, completely relaxed, I let my mind wander back to generations before who may have enjoyed the same piece of the lake. I hear
Paula

Small Hotel Makes Big Impression Hawley Hotel on the Travel Channel edges Hotel, a sleek, 20-room hotel nestled in the Poconos, recently landed a spot on the Travel Channel’s hit show “Hotel Showdown.”
L
A fire last year left the small hotel located in Hawley, PA closed for 63 days. Imagine owner Justin Genzlinger and the hotel staff’s excitement when they were chosen to appear on TV! Ledges found a big way to show that they were refreshed and ready to accommodate guests. On “Hotel Showdown” owners of four different hotels visit each other’s properties for a night and award each establishment points for their stay. The hotel with the most points walks away with $25,000 to use toward hotel additions and updates. Genzlinger and the staff were excited for the opportunity to possibly install some new hot tub amenities with the prospective winnings and made the decision to appear on the show.
22
Exposure was also a large factor in the hotel’s motivation for participating. “We’re such a small property in a rural area; we don’t have the budget that bigger hotel chains have,” Genzlinger said. “So to get featured nationally was… what we hoped

Genzlinger hoped to showcase the hotel’s scenic location overlooking Paupack Falls and below the Hawley Silk Mill with beautiful running water surrounded by nature. “The setting is really what it’s all about,” Genzlinger said.

ers traveled for 10 days with a crew of 15 from “Hotel Showdown.” Genzlinger noted that the other hotels had many wonderful amenities and comforts. Although they walked away with third place, everyone at the hotel believes being on the show was a positive experience. “I think they showcased us really well,” July 2015
Genzlinger said. “We got everything that we were hoping to out of it. Obviously, it would have been nice to win, but at the same time, the exposure was a win in and of itself.” Genzlinger still plans on adding more attractions to the property within the next year or two even without the prize winings. The hotel is looking to install awnings on the deck and more amenities for people to enjoy. He also still hopes to add the hot tubs on the deck by the gorge soon. “We learned little things along the way at every property,” Genzlinger said.

Kutztown Celebrates
A Red, White & Blue Bicentennial
M
arch 2015 marked 200 years since Kutztown became recognized as a borough of Pennsylvania, and with that comes a celebration. Since 2011, a committee of enthusiastic citizens has been hard at work planning the extravagant Kutztown Bicentennial. The celebration will take place July 25August 2. With a new event each day, the whole community will be able to find something that appeals to them. Chairman of the Bicentennial Committee, Craig Koller, described the celebration, “We tried to have different events to appeal to different people.” The days leading up to the celebration are also very celebratory. A contest is being held through the end of June. The community is invited to decorate their homes and businesses with the most patriotic of decorations. The winner of the contest will be awarded a profes-
sionally framed photograph of their home or business. Although the contest ends in June, everyone is encouraged to keep their deco- Kutztown’s 1 915 Fra Kutztow ternity rations up n Area Day t h is s through the ame be Historical socie Parade.

Since Kutztown is very walkable, events can be held outdoors and allow the community to embrace the true personality of their town. “We wanted to have the celebration at a time where we can have a lot of outside activities,” said Koller. The events include a classic car show, community church service, family movie night, walking history tour of Kutztown, train rides, an ice cream social, dinner for senior community members, dinner on Main
Street, a parade and after parade party. It all culminates with Kutztown Day at Kutztown Park. Koller explained that Kutztown has earned its spot on a list of the top 10 places to live in Pennsylvania. He gives the Kutztown Bicentennial credit for helping the town be such a nice place to live. The bicentennial is expected to be a fun and exciting celebration for the entire community. Koller noted that during the early stages of the bicentennial, the whole community “was very supportive financially and with volunteering.” He hopes for similar results during the weeklong celebration, saying, “I just hope everybody comes out and remembers it for the rest of their lives.” –Casey Tarabek

Marking the Trail of History
T
The Bloody Rock Wyoming, Pennsylvania
his marker, along Susquehanna Avenue in Wyoming, Luzerne County, remembers one of the bloodiest massacres in our nation’s struggle for independence and a turning point in the American Revolution. On this site, dubbed the Bloody Rock, some 15 American patriots bore the wrath of an American Indian chieftain. News of the massacre reignited the spirit of the colonists for freedom from British tyranny.
On July 3, 1778 an army of 300 patriot troops met a force of British soldiers, Tories and Seneca Indians, numbering nearly 1,110 strong. The British force was moving south along the frontier, burning colonial homesteads from New York to Pennsylvania. With most of the men of the Wyoming settlement away serving under General Washington in the Continental Army, defense of the village fell upon those remaining, namely young boys and elderly men. In hopes of saving the settlement, the tiny troop marched under the leadership of Colonel Zebulon Butler, to meet their attackers. The ragtag bunch formed a line of defense along present day 4th Street in Wyoming. Outnumbered and overpow60
around her captives wielding a stone maul and “shrieking a chant so shrill and dreadful, that it echoed across the river like the call of a demon.” Days later 14 to 18 bodies were found near the rock, each scalped and mangled. Some believe the massacre was Queen Esther’s bloody revenge for the murder of her only son days before by a white settler.
ered, the line fell within minutes. Nearly all of the patriot’s 300 forces were killed. Those who escaped were forced to flee by way of the river. The British invaders then marched into the fort, pillaging the settlement. Fearing for their lives, some 200 women and children fled the fort only to become victims of the American wilderness. As night fell a new terror began to unfold. A handful of survivors, all men, were rounded up and led to a rock on the slopes above the river in what is now the 200 block of Susquehanna Avenue in Wyoming. Here the brave patriots were placed in a circle around the rock. Warriors restrained the men while Queen Esther, chieftain of the Seneca nation, danced HappeningsPA.com
Accounts of the massacre spread quickly throughout the colonies and overseas. News of the British sanctioned “tortures” won countless European allies for the American cause. Tales of Queen Esther’s actions in Wyoming became legendary the world over. Although historians have begun to question Queen Esther’s involvement in the Wyoming massacre, legend has forever linked her to the bloody event. History has it that Esther lived well into her 70s passing away in what is now Seneca County, NY. Today a portion of the famous stone around which Queen Esther unleashed her revenge remains along Susquehanna Avenue near Seventh Street. Next to the rock lies a bronze tablet which reads, “Upon this rock the Indian Queen Esther slaughtered the brave patriots taken in the battle of July 3, 1778.” July 2015

A Hometown Tradition Andy’s Pizza Celebrates 70 Years
f the walls of Andy’s Pizza in Peckville could talk, they’d tell a tale 70 years in the making, and how it all started with a pizza. Old photos and vintage sports memorabilia from the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s cover the interior of the restaurant and bar on Main Street. Those were the decades when the original owners, the late Andy and Helen Todaro (below) ran the business. They built a clientele that has withstood the test of time, and brought the pizza place to its 70th anniversary celebration on July 25.
“That’s what it’s all about, nostalgia. [We’re] paying tribute to the loyal customers after all these years,” coowner Joan Mikloiche says. As Joan and her husband Jeff get ready to celebrate 70 years of Andy’s Pizza, they’re keeping it as old school as possible. “We’re going to have everything old fashioned. It’ll be a step back in time,” Joan says. There will be old music and vintage games, including 66
gone a few modern updates in recent years, including nationwide pizza shipping. Joan says it felt like a natural step when they began shipping three years ago. “We have people all over the country who know and love Andy’s Pizza. It’s humbling to have such faithful customers,” They’ve also added to the menu, expanding it to include seasonal pizzas, though customers can’t get enough of their plain, cheese pizza with a light, airy crust. “My father always said, why fix something that isn’t broken?” beanbag toss, tiddlywinks, jacks and pick-up sticks, along with door prizes, gift certificates and raffle chances throughout the day. The anniversary is also special for Andy and Helen’s daughter, Carmella Todaro, who has helped the pizza place stay true to its roots throughout different owners, setbacks and successes, Joan says.
The anniversary celebration begins at noon and goes until 10 p.m. at Andy’s Pizza. A portion of the day’s proceeds will benefit a college scholarship fund for a former employee’s daughter.
Though the vintage photos don’t show it, Andy’s Pizza has under- Owners Joan & Samanth

Not Just Wingin’ It! L
Kelly’s Pub & Eatery Celebrates 25 Years ong before the first meal was served at Kelly’s Pub & Eatery, the delicious food was passed around the family dining room table. The Cosgrove sisters– Tricia Laboranti, Kelly Hamm, Joni Boino and Karen Snyder– took the dishes served by their parents, Bud and the late Joan Cosgrove in their North Scranton home, to an appreciative public 25 years ago this month. Now, many have come to know and love the Scranton restaurant for its quality serv-
days and family nights out. They say they’ve formed wonderful friendships and watched customers they’d met in high chairs eventually raise and bring in their own families. The sisters also acknowledge the contri-

ice, family-oriented atmosphere and famous wings. While Kelly’s is best known for its classic organic chicken wings, many crave other tasty menu options such as delicious wraps, fresh burgers and a wide variety of salads. The Cosgrove sisters credit their success to loyal customers who continue to come in after church, little league baseball games, birth-
butions of their parents Joan and Bud (left). “They have truly been the building blocks and foundation of the restau-

rant,” Karen Snyder says. Through the years, the family owned and operated business has been a blessing for the Cosgrove sisters. They’ve been able to watch their children grow up while spending time together and creating countless memories, from Super Bowl parties to Scranton St. Patrick’s Day Parade fun. Bud served on the parade committee for 50 years, so Kelly’s Pub has been active in Parade Day since its beginning, marking the occasion with bag pipers and Irish traditions each year. Kelly’s Pub & Eatery will celebrate its 25th anniversary the week of July 20 with the goal of giving back to customers. Kelly’s will bring back its original Wednesday wing night special on July 22 with 15 cent wings, and celebrate with cake and fun throughout the week.

Turning Lemons into Lessons Fidelity Helping Local Children
F
idelity Bank hopes to continue the timeless tradition of children running their own lemonade stand during the hot summer months. Lemonade stands can now help children start saving for their future endeavors in life. This program promotes financial responsibility and entrepreneurship at any age. All children ages 3 to 12 are eligible and may apply at any of Fidelity’s 11 branches throughout Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. Every child wishing to apply must fill out an application and bring it to one of the bank’s customer service representatives at their local branch. The children will receive a kit with lemonade mix, a paper
hat, a wooden spoon, lemon cookie mix, a cookie cutter, a price sheet, and a banner. “Fidelity Bank is committed to teaching children the importance of saving money as well as helping them on the road to entrepreneurship,” said Daniel Santaniello, president and CEO of Fidelity Bank. The program helps parents teach their children the importance of financial responsibility. Also, children who open a Green Team Savings Account during the Lemonade Stand Initiative, which runs until mid august, will receive a $10 bonus into their savings account to help start saving. “Lemonade

stands teach children responsibility and that saving takes effort,” said Patty DeScipio, marketing and communication officer. Fidelity Bank hopes that through this Initiative, children will learn valuable life lessons that will get them ready to one day be successful. DeScipio said, “Small business drives our local economy, no matter the size.” Parents can share photos of their children’s lemonade stand on Facebook and tag Fidelity Bank. The photo that receives the most shares will receive a deposit of $250 into the child’s Green Team Savings account.

A Sweet Life for Shore:
LAKE WINOLA LIVIN’
L
ake Winola is a 200-acre lake located in Wyoming County, PA. The lake is outlined by a multitude of charming homes serving as both vacation and permanent residences. On any given sunny day, sailboats, motorboats, canoes, kayaks and fishing vessels pepper the lake. A public boat launch and plenty of parking is available to the southeast. Golfers needn’t look far, as the members-only Scranton Canoe Club offers a nine-hole golf course. The lake can be explored by way of threemile hike or bike ride.
Janet Ross (right), a year round resident, has been vacationing at Lake Winola since the summer of 1959 when her parents purchased a quaint cottage. In 1986, while living in Clarks Summit, Janet and her husband, Dean, decided they wanted their three children to experience the same lake lifestyle they had enjoyed for so many years. They purchased a cottage next door to the original vacation dwelling and so began the family’s love affair with the lake.
Once their children graduated from college, the Ross’ chose to make Lake Winola
their permanent home. In 2006, they made the difficult decision to tear down the cottage and erect a new home. “We believe that the original cottage was built in the 1890s,” noted Janet. “I hated to see that old piece of history destroyed.” The couple, however, made a conscious effort to preserve some of the original components (like the fireplace mantle) and incorporated them into the construction of the new home. They also managed to recreate the spacious and inviting front porch based on the design of the continued on page 82

original home. Today, Janet and Dean are the owners of a stunning grey home with white trim, situated on an extensive, plush lawn. Their home features a large, open kitchen, ideal for family gatherings. An abundance of windows provide picturesque views of the lake. Photos of their children and grandchildren line the walls, and a plaque in their kitchen reads, “If
you’re lucky enough to live at the lake, you’re lucky enough.” Possibly the most impressive element of the home, however, is the front porch. It spans the length of the house, is carpeted– providing comfort to bare and flip-flopped feet, and provides seating for all in the form of rocking chairs, a
hanging swing, lounges and picnic-style tables. Janet’s mother resides next door in the first home where the family initially vacationed and her brother resides next door to their mother, making it easy to play an active role in one another’s lives. “Our very favorite
Ph
otos by K risten Wa room is the llo front porch,” says Janet. “It’s where we live and eat meals all summer long. A close second favorite spot is the dock and waterfront area. There are so many great things to do such as boating, swimming, reading and relaxing. There are nearly 100 yearround residents, and we have made some great friendships here, all of us having the lake in common.”
In early August, the Ross’ children and grandchildren, will visit the lakefront property for the annual Water Carnival, a highly anticipated family event. A total of 40 of the couple’s nearest and dearest will live it up together, all weekend long, enjoying the parade, fireworks and water activities. Janet’s advice for those thinking of purchasing a lake property– “Do it sooner than later!”

What Should You Restore or Refinish? If it is important to you, then have it restored.
The Carriage Barn, a business with over 40 years of restoration experience, repairs and replaces items right in their woodworking shop in Clarks Summit, PA. Eighty percent of what they restore are just items with sentimental value, not necessarily antiques. They have restored all types of items from wooden horses to “Nifty Fifty” handmade children’s cars. The refinishing experts at Carriage Barn also do in-home restorations, such as doors, staircases, trim moldings, kitchen cabinets and complete rooms! If you are thinking about having something restored simply because it is special to you or has history in your family, consider having the experts at Carriage Barn restore it to new for you! Four Simple Steps
1. Send or email a photo of the item to Carriage Barn. You may also
request that an expert from Carriage Barn visits your location and provides you with a cost estimate. 2. Bring in your item or arrange for a convenient pick up.
3. When the finish has been removed and the repairs are complete, you’ll be asked to to pick a custom stain color (or paint.) If desired, Carriage Barn can match a color of an item you already own. The stain or paint is by far one of the most important steps in the restoration process. Improper staining (or paint) can destroy the look of a beautiful piece of wood. Staining should enhance the color of the wood, not mask it. As a rule of thumb, remember that you can go from light to dark but you cannot make dark wood light.Carriage Barn uses state-of the-art equipment and only the best finishing and staining materials available. 4. Following final approval your

beautifully restored item will be delivered to you or available for pickup. It's that simple.

How to Keep Your Pet Safe at Home
I see so many notices about lost dogs on social media. Do you have any tips to keep my dog from becoming lost? What should I do if I come across a lost dog? How should I approach it and help?
If you’ve experienced the kicked-in-the-gut, sick feeling of finding the gate standing open or the door ajar with an ominous absence of a wagging welcome, you know the horror of losing a dog. Flyers on telephone poles, knocking on doors, driving in terror of finding only a body…if only there were a way to ensure such scenarios never occur. Dogs entertain themselves when we’re not supervising, and sometimes that means digging under a fence, finagling a gate or door latch or slipping a collar. One should inspect fences and enclosures from a dog’s perspective- never underestimate the dog’s ability to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles. It’s dangerous to assume your dog “knows better” than to leave your yard. After 90
ensuring that enclosures and the household are as secure as possible, protect your dog by educating her. Disorientation and panic adversely impact dogs who become lost in unfamiliar surroundings, so much so that the vast majority of owners report that their own dog won’t come to them, even assuming they can get close enough to spot them. To combat this, walk and socialize off-property regularly from puppyhood. Walking large loops that return back to your doorstep familiarizes your dog with the sights, scents and sounds of your locale. That helps the dog form reference points in a mental map of home base, enhancing the likelihood that she’ll know how to find her way home should she become lost. The confidence your dog gains thereby may enable her to keep her wits about her if she’s ever alone in potentially dangerous situations. Additional benefits of walking include: decreasing boredom and fulfillment of exercise needs which
HappeningsPA.com
could reduce the impulse to roam, enhanced respect for you as pack leader, prime opportunity for practicing obedience commands in various real-life situations and venues, and socialization with folks you meet along the way. So, if your dog is lost, she’s more likely to be recognized and returned, more likely to respond to familiar commands even if issued by a stranger and more likely to allow herself to be caught if she’s traveling familiar terrain and approached by people she recognizes. Which segues to your second question. Any dog found loose could be assumed to be lost because of leash laws. Catching them may be as simple as calling in a friendly voice. More often they’ve become wary, requiring persistent patience …inviting tone, non-threatening posture (crouching, sitting), calm, deliberate movements and aromatic food treats help. Never chase or corner a stray, that exacerbates the dog’s fears, and never put yourself in danger. With luck the dog is wearing tags or has a microchip, other protections you should give your own dog. –Beth Dorton Dillenbeck, Hollow Hills German Shepherds blogging at www.instinctive impressions.com.blogspot.com July 2015

St. Vladimir’s Ukrainian Catholic Church began in the summer of 1908 when underprivileged Ukrainian immigrants traveled to Scranton, PA. These Ukrainians were under the Catholic rite, and not to be mistaken as Ukrainian or Russian Orthodox. Reverend Andrew Kominsky was appointed the first pastor. Since 1908 the church maintains the same traditions presented five or six generations ago.
Anyone who visits St. Vladimir’s will see its overwhelming beauty. “The inside of this church is beautiful, like Heaven,” describes Reverend Myron Myronyuk, current

with more icons. The church celebrated its centennial anniversary in July 2008. Ann Lazuka, a parishioner of 60 years, appreciates the generations of tradition. “I love how after all these years, the tradition of language, food and sense of family has never changed,” she recounts. One of the most precious traditions that has stayed with the parish is the original language. Many of the parishioners still speak Ukrainian; the old continue to teach the young. Additionally, much of the Divine Liturgy is spoken in Ukrainian, and then translated into English. Of course, the majority of the songs and Christmas carols are sung in their original form. continued on page 96 July 2015

“Sometimes the Ukrainian words cannot be translated, so we keep them as they are. It’s a good way to keep tradition, and everyone learns from them,” says Fr. Myron. Jean Pedley, a member of the choir notes, “Our congregational a Capella singing is different from the Roman Catholic Rite. It's what makes our Divine Liturgy so different, that all the people sing and participate in every part. Although most of our parish is now English, our Ukrainian heritage still dominates a lot of what we do.” Another unique aspect of St. Vladimir’s is the offering of catechism classes. Children in 1st grade through 8th grade are eligible. “It is nice for the kids because many end up going to public high schools where they do not receive any religious education. At least here, they can learn,” Fr. Myron remarks. Unlike most other churches, St. Vladimir hosts a coffee/lunch social before each class. While nearly every parish hosts holiday dinners, St. Vladimir continues to be unique as the church hosts an annual “Malanka” celebration. To ring in each New Year, St. Vladimir’s invites hundreds of friends and family to dance, sing, eat and celebrate the Ukrainian way. Each year there is a fantastic outcome. There is no place quite like St. Vladimir’s Church. It is easy to see how much love, dedication, and fellowship the church is made up of. St. Vladimir’s is sure to flourish for many happy years. -Ann E. Moschorak 96

A COASTAL JOURNEY Kathy Fallon captured some of America’s most beautiful beach destinations and packaged them together in a new book titled,” A Coastal Journey.” The lifelong Scranton resident is a professional musician and retired music educator who decided to pursue her true passion in photography. Kathy took many photos on her travels to the beach and initially arranged them into two coffee table books. She traveled to Cape May, NJ, one of her favorite picture taking destinations, and met with Jack Wright of Exit Zero Publishing. He was taken with her work and advised her to, “let the pictures do the talking.” He also suggested the two books become a compilation of one, and “A Coastal Journey” was born. The pages catalog the geographical wonder of places like the Jersey Shore and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Kathy’s photographs are on display in several professional offices in the greater Scranton area. Her art work is also installed at Mohegan Sun Casino Hotel in Wilkes-Barre. “A Coastal Journey” is available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. It is also available at the Barnes and Noble Store in Wilkes-Barre.

UPLIFT THE ROCKS:
How to Support Our Nation’s Military Families By Tiffany Cloud Olson Even the strongest rock changes shape when up against a mighty current. Our nation has been at war for the last 14 years. Only about 1 percent of the US population has fought in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This 1 percent has parents, spouses and children—military families who stay on the home front, enduring all the stress and worry that goes handin-hand with having a loved one deployed to a war zone. Common questions military families ask themselves: When will the next phone call, SKYPE or email message come? Is he/she safe? Will my loved one return to me and, if so, in what condition? When a deployment ends, the military family’s job isn’t finished. Many times a warrior returns a changed person, carrying physical and/or emotional wounds of war. Once again, the family must remain steadfast and strong, despite adversity and heartache over having the stress they felt during war extend far longer than ever anticipated. Our military families are among the strongest, most resilient families in our nation, but they are not invincible. They too, have moments of weakness; moments their strength 102
gives way. And in these times, it’s up to the 99 percent who have not served, to step up and provide support. How? Financially: the jobless rates among our veterans is far too high, and the same holds true for our nation’s military families. Employers should do all they can to encourage job applicants from the military family candidate pool. Emotionally: military family members deserve a break. They probably endured a six to 12 month deployment full of sleepless nights, and perhaps more sleepless nights if their warrior returns wounded. Babysit the kids for them, so they can enjoy a night out to dinner or to a movie; surprise them with a vacation; take them with you to the gym to decompress through a good workout. Let them talk, cry, vent and listen. Openly listen to their worries, doubts, dreams and hopes. They cannot unburden themselves on their veteran who may be downrange and must stay focused. Nor can they unburden on the warrior returned from war, who has his/her own scars in need of healing. Physically: the strain of worry during a loved one’s deployment can really take a toll on a military family HappeningsPA.com
member. Exhaustion thanks to sleepless nights is common. Offer to cut the grass or shovel the snow. Take a physical activity off the military family members plate. Gratefully: say “thank you.” Many people thank veterans in airports and have parades or welcome home celebrations when they return home from war, and deservedly so. The military family member, however, receives zero accolade or appreciation for his/her sacrifices. The military family member is used to putting his/her needs on the back burner so the veteran’s needs can be the focus, so they seldom ask for help and never expect thanks, but it sure would mean a lot if it were given. Military family members are the unsung heroes of this nation– rocks who provide tremendous foundation and stability to the homes of our warriors, before, during and after combat. These rocks of our nation have earned our respect and appreciation. Tiffany Cloud Olson is the wife of SSG Erik Olson (retired), a three tour combat veteran and wounded warrior (Iraq/Afghanistan). She is the author of “SLEEPING WITH DOG TAGS” which hit the bestsellers list for military bios on Amazon.com in October 2012. She is also the co-executive producer of Warrior Summit Outdoors airing on WYLN35 in northeastern PA, a television show hosted by her husband in which combat veterans are taken on outdoor activities to help heal the wounds of war.

12 Medical Profile
N E PA a t t h e Fo r e f r o n t of Biomedical Research r. Sonia Lobo Planey has been fascinated with the sciences since her enthusiastic and lively tenth grade biology class. Today, she is an assistant professor of biochemistry at The Commonwealth Medical College. Dr. Planey was recruited as a professor at TCMC in 2008 by her longtime mentor from graduate school, Dr. Gerald Litwack, the Founding Chair of Basic Sciences at TCMC. She has since received a $1 million grant from the government to study interstitial cystitis, and was appointed interim associate dean of research. Dr. Planey began her educational career at Cedar Crest College majoring in Genetic Engineering, then conducted research at Harvard Medical School and Rohm and Hass Research Laboratories. She continued on to Thomas Jefferson University as a doctoral student in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Finally, she was a post-doc at University of Florida.

Discuss your career path. Upon graduation, I secured a Research Associate position at a small biotechnology company in New Jersey called Medarex, Inc. There, I had an amazing mentor who taught me the business side of science and encouraged me to pursue a doctoral degree. I completed my doctoral thesis research where I investigated mechanisms of steroid resistance in leukemia and lymphoma. After five years of graduate training, I was eager to get back into the job market with my newly minted PhD degree; however, my path would by no means be traditional. While most of my friends were securing postdoctoral positions in laboratories at other institutions or at companies, I was torn. Having given birth to my first son just months before graduating, I was not ready to commit to the grueling long days, hard deadlines, and uncertain future of a post-doc and wanted to look for more flexible opportunities. I found that opportunity working for a medical communications company, BioCentric Inc., as a Scientific Editor/Writer. I was able to apply many of the skills from graduate
school and in my prior industry experience by understanding complex scientific information and distilling it down in a clear, concise and accurate language for various audiences. I worked closely with the pharmaceutical industry, with scientists, doctors, and academics to develop comprehensive strategies, tools, and medical content for medical education at national and international academic meetings, advisory boards, and symposia. In the several years that followed, I moved to Florida, started a Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water Ice franchise and gave birth to my second son, while continuing my medical writing as a freelancer. It was there that my passion for biomedical research was reignited and where the idea that I might one day run my own research lab first surfaced (even though 90 percent of the labs around me were being run by men). That idea became a reality several years later when Dr. Litwack recruited me as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry. How can advances in biomedical research affect a community economically? Biomedical research can

have profound effects on a community in terms of improving quality of medical care by attracting physicians and scientists to the region. It may also lead to the development of novel, cutting-edge treatment strategies for patients, including access to clinical trials that improve quality of care here in NEPA. Biomedical research can also lead to positive economic growth through creation of jobs in the development of small biotech companies, commercialization of research discoveries and working on federal research grants. For example, my research grant directly supports me as the Principal Investigator, a post-doctoral fellow, a laboratory technician, and two other members of my research team. This public investment in university research lays the foundation for economically significant future innovations.
and to lead the strategic planning efforts for research. What are the hardest and most rewarding parts of your job? The university setting has a lot of uncertainty and many ups and downs. Some days you make a great discovery and other days, nothing seems to work. Add to that the highly competitive nature of research and constant pressure of securing federal funding to do what you love, and many would argue that it is a dying profession. Even so, I enjoy the thrill of discovery, innovation and the challenge of stretching my mind to develop new research ideas that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been done and that have merit. I also love teaching students about science and how to think critically about experiments through hands-on training. Knowing that I played a small part in their future success brings me great satisfaction. But what I love most about being a biomedical research scientist is the ability to understand human biology in its finest detail. Explain interstitial cystitis. Is it more stressful or exciting to be the only university granted to study this disease? The day that I received the letter that I was selected to receive a $1 million grant
award was probably one the happiest and most personally rewarding of my life. I was so ecstatic, yet scared at the same time because the government was making a public investment in my ideas to help solve a very complex health problem. IC is a chronic, debilitating pelvic pain disorder associated with urinary frequency and urgency that affects over 12 million people in the U.S. Currently, the cause of this disease is unknown and tests to diagnose the disorder, invasive and unreliable. My current research focuses on finding the cause and developing a non-invasive test to diagnose the disorder so that patients can have an improved quality of life and earlier intervention in the course of their disease.
prevention and early detection. Also, through education, we can all learn how to reduce our cancer risk. Outside of work, what do you like to do? I love and appreciate the outdoors now more than ever. I especially enjoy hiking, kayaking, cycling, traveling and camping. I also am a certified yoga instructor and teach and/or practice whenever I can.

ThE SkiNNY ON hEALThY SkiN 1. What are the keys to healthy skin? Keep skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and applying a daily moisturizer. A diet containing foods rich in anti-oxidants such as fruits and vegetables can slow the aging process and protect against skin cancer. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and using sunscreen regularly can help prevent skin cancers. Quitting smoking can also improve your skin health.
2. Discuss the need for Vitamin D. How much do we get from the sun? Vitamin D is important for proper development and growth of bones, teeth and may even prevent certain cancers and diseases. Two common ways to get Vitamin D are either by exposing the skin to the UV rays of the sun or through the diet via foods or supplements. Although our bodies can make Vitamin D if exposed to the sun, the American Academy of Dermatology does not recommend getting Vitamin D from sun exposure or indoor tanning because ultraviolet radiation from the sun and tanning beds can lead to the development of skin cancer.
3. When people have a tan they are said to “look healthy.” Is that true? Studies have shown that people with tanned skin are perceived as being more attractive and healthier. Unfortunately, this false perception is primarily driven by 112
the media. If someone wants a tanned look to their skin, a spray tan is a much safer and healthier alternative!
4. Please discuss sun protection products. Can the same product be used on face as well as bodies? The term sun protection is a broad category and includes taking precautions to help prevent excessive sun exposure. These include using sunscreen regularly and reapplying every two hours, wearing brimmed hats, sunglasses, avoiding the most intense sunlight of the day (between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.), seeking shade and avoiding indoor tanning. The best sunscreens have broad-spectrum protection, which protects against UVA and UVB rays, contain a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or greater, and are water resistant. Most sunscreens can be used on the face and the body.
5. Which products are best for children? Sunscreen can be applied to toddlers and infants 6 months or older and should only be applied to exposed skin. Sensitive areas (ears, neck, cheeks) or areas that are not covered should have a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Sunscreens that use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide or special sunscreens made for infants or toddlers may cause less irritation.

6. Discuss the use of tanning beds and self-tanner products. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization's International Agency of Research on Cancer has declared UV radiation from the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds and sun lamps, as a known carcinogen (cancer-causing substance). Indoor tanning before age 24 increases one’s risk of developing skin cancer by age 50. There are many self-tanning products on the market, which are a much safer and healthier alternative. 7. Please discuss the types of skin cancer. How do they differ? The three main types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. BCCs and SCCs typically present as a pink or red non-healing or scabbed spot commonly on the face or neck. Sometimes they can be July 2015

painful or bleed. Melanomas typically present as an irregularly shaped, asymmetrical, dark brown or black spot commonly found on the back or legs. Melanomas are far more aggressive than BCCs and SCCs and can spread to the lymph nodes and internal organs, which can result in death. On average, one American dies from melanoma every hour.
8. Apart from the sun, what else causes skin cancer to develop? Being fair-skinned, having a family history of skin cancer, many moles, a history of blistering sunburns, red or blonde hair, blue or green eyes and a history of a prior skin cancer. In rare instances, certain medications and genetic syndromes can cause cancer to develop.
9. What are the survival rates for skin cancer? Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, the two most common, are highly curable if detected early and treated properly. The five-year survival rate for people whose melanoma is detected and treated before it spreads to the lymph nodes is 98 percent. The five-year survival rate for melanomas that spread locally is 63 percent and for melanomas that have spread throughout the body – 16 percent. Early detection of melanomas offers the best chance of survival. 10. Please discuss skin cancer treatments. Most of the treatment options include MOHS Surgery, surgical excision, scraping and burning 114
the skin cancer away (electrodessication and curettage), and freezing the skin cancer with liquid nitrogen (cryosurgery). Some forms of skin cancer can even be treated with creams or radiation. MOHS Surgery is a highly specialized and precise treatment in which the cancer is removed, one tissue layer at a time. It is an outpatient procedure and performed under local anesthesia. Once a tissue layer is removed, its edges are marked with colored dyes, and a map of the specimen is created. The tissue is then processed onto microscope slides by a MOHS histotechnician. These slides are carefully examined under the microscope so that any microscopic roots of the cancer can be precisely identified and mapped. If cancer cells are seen, an additional tissue layer is removed only in areas where the cancer is still present, leaving normal skin intact. This saves as much normal, healthy skin as possible. Once the cancer has been removed, the MOHS surgeon will repair the wound.
11. Discuss the benefits of MOHS. The biggest benefit is to ensure complete removal while minimizing the amount of healthy tissue lost, virtually eliminating the chance of the cancer growing back. It also maximizes the functional and cosmetic outcome after surgery. Mohs has a 99 percent cure rate, the highest of any skin cancer treatment available.

Check For Ticks and Avoid Lyme Disease! yme disease is the most commonly reported tick-borne disease in the United States. In 2010, more than 22,500 confirmed and 7,500 probable cases of Lyme disease were reported to the CDC.
L
Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and a characteristic bulls-eye skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart and the nervous system. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the deer tick is found in the eastern U.S. Because they are associated with the white-tailed deer, the more deer that are present in an area, the more likely there are to be deer ticks. The deer tick, also called the black-legged tick is a bloodfeeder; it bites humans and animals, fastens itself to the 116
skin and feeds on blood. Louis M. Kareha, D.O., a family practice physician at Geisinger-Community Medical Center (GCMC), Scranton has seen a rise in cases of Lyme Disease in the community that GCMC serves, over the past few years. He attributes this to "a number of reasons, including a concerted effort by physicians to identify and treat cases of Lyme Disease before further complications arise." Dr. Kareha explains that only a small percentage of ticks carry Lyme Disease, but that is the biggest risk of being bitten by a deer tick. Ticks do not fly, he explains, they crawl and burrow their heads into the skin of the ankles and legs and areas such as the back of the knee, where skin is thinner. The body of the tick will remain exposed and as they feed, their bodies become engorged. Ticks can be the size of small moles, but distinguishing between the two HappeningsPA.com
is fairly easy, Dr. Kareha explains, “Moles will be relatively flat, while the tick body will create a noticeable lump. As a tick grows larger, a mole will remain relatively unchanged during the same time period.” A deer tick transmits Lyme Disease near the end of its feeding. After arrival on the skin, the tick usually takes 24 hours to begin feeding, and an additional 36 to 48 hours from that point to transmit the bacterium that causes Lyme Disease. Tick bites can be prevented, Dr. Kareha says. "We strongly advise wearing insect repellent, covering as much exposed skin as possible and checking fully after being outside, especially in wooded environments. Northeast Pennsylvania has one of the highest tick populations in the country, so July 2015
residents need to be especially diligent about preventing bites. Also, be sure to check your pets for ticks on a regular basis.”
pain or swelling in the joints and facial or Bell’s Palsy. Lyme disease can also significantly impair cognitive function.
A diagnosis of Lyme Disease typically involves a 10 day to four-week course of oral antibiotics. Patients who receive this treatment soon after being bitten by a tick usually recover rapidly and completely, Dr. Kareha notes. But, if left untreated, Lyme Disease can remain present in a number of ways, including severe headaches and neck stiffness due to meningitis, shooting pains that may interfere with sleep, heart palpitations or dizziness,
So again, says Dr. Kareha, "Check yourself carefully and often for ticks. If you do find a tick, remove it carefully with tweezers and keep it in a plastic bag for possible testing. Then, call your doctor, who may recommend an antibiotic or further treatment. –Christine Fanning
The typical Lyme disease season in Pennsylvania runs from May until November, with the peak months being June through September. More than 10,000 cases have been recorded since Lyme disease first was made a reportable illness in Pennsylvania in 1987. – PA Department of Health Over the past five years, Pennsylvania has reported the most cases of Lyme Disease in the nation. The Department of Environmental Protection reports deer ticks may now be found in all 67 Pennsylvania Counties.

An avid reader, she can’t get enough of the books that line the library shelves. Her favorites are historical books about “real people,” some fiction, too. But these days when she goes to the library, the pages she’s turning aren’t just in books, they’re on the Web.

A Clarks Summit resident, Barbara loves to go online at the Abington Community Library, where she is considered one of the regulars, visiting five or six times a week. At age 61, she is glad the library computers are user-friendly and finds it easy to check her e-mail or update herself with the latest news from MSN, look up recipes or health information.

“I use the computers a great deal,” she said. “There are a lot of students here using them for school papers, but I’m beyond that!” A native of Landisville, N.J., Barbara graduated from Glassboro State College, now Rowan University, with a degree in teaching. After teaching elementary school for a while she decided to switch to business and went to Brick Computer Science Institute in Brick, N.J. While working for the Carpenters Union of Philadelphia and Vicinity she met her sweetheart, Adrian, who was from HappeningsPA.com
Barbara and Adrian have a son, Anthony, at home. Although Adrian is now semi-retired Barbara still works at Met Life in Clarks Summit as an analyst, so she has a little edge when it comes to computers. But she readily admits that she is still learning. “Sometimes I need to ask for help, and I always get it,” she said. “The people here all know you. I love the library.” Even though Barbara enjoys spending time on the library computers, she draws the line when it comes to social media. “I’m on Facebook but I don’t post a lot of pictures,” she said. She explained that Facebook helps her stay connected with family and friends in Kansas. But she doesn’t do Twitter, or Skype. “One thing at a time,” she said with a smile. -Teri Lyon July 2015

Sally Engfer 100 Years Young A Life of “One Great Experience After Another” “You must make up your mind to be 100, now,” was Sally Engfer’s advice to all who wish to live a full and happy life. Sally lives at Mountain View Senior Center in Moosic where she turned 100 on November 28, 2014. Sally remembers when, at 10 years old, she told her mother she decided to live to be 100. Her plan for her 100th birthday was to slide down the mammoth wooden banister in her childhood home on North Washington Avenue in Scranton. Sally says her life, “has been one great experience after another.” Although just 4 feet, 9 inches, her big, sunny outlook and excitement about life make her seem ten feet tall. At the age of 3, Sally and her family moved from Mount Vernon, New York to Scranton, and she treasures growing up in the city. She has fond memories of skat-

ing and swimming at Nay Aug Park, and going downtown with friends to her father’s theater, The Academy of Music. Sally remembers the first milliondollar roller coaster at Rocky Glen in Moosic. She loved the thrill of rollercoasters and
would sit in the front cab every time. Sally attended St. Paul’s School in Green Ridge for grade school and high school. She trained as a law secretary, and began her career right out of high school at a local law firm. She later moved to Philadelphia, where her secretarial skills grew. From there, Sally moved to New

York City for a position at a prestigious law firm. She lived there for 20 years. Christmas was her favorite time of year in the city, bursting with magnificent window displays and twinkling lights everywhere. Sally always had a love for Scranton, though, and she often returned for visits. For her 100th birthday Sally had three parties. For one, she donned a beautiful corsage and “dressed to the nines,” Sally said, and had a lovely meal with family and friends at the Rustic Kitchen Bistro and Bar at Mohegan Sun Casino. When asked how she maintains her flawless complexion, Sally simply states, “lots and lots of water.” Sally’s sunny personality shines through everywhere she goes, and she declares she’s never has a bad day and always feels good and healthy. Sally even says she’s working on her 200th birthday, now. Certainly for Sally, the years ahead will be full of, “one great experience after another.” –Lauren Fick

Knowing she needed to take active steps to improve her health, she joined the SilverSneakers® Fitness program and began to exercise regularly at her local YMCA.
