JULY 14 PGS 1-24_Layout 1 6/17/14 4:23 PM Page 5

Dear Readers, recently took my 6-year-old daughter to the E.R. for a moderate allergic reaction. While a trip to the E.R. is definitely not high on anyone’s list of enjoyable activities, the wait for her was agonizing. She had nothing to do to pass the time; we had no WIFI, books or games. “Mommy,” she said after waiting for what seemed to her to be a lifetime…you have to tell them to take us off PAUSE!” In her high-tech world, a wait with nothing moving and no activity simply meant we were on “pause.”

Her creative use of the word “pause” made me think of Maria Shriver’s commencement address at the University of Southern California’s Anneberg School. (Available for you to watch on YouTube.) Shriver speaks about the power of the pause. She states that in today’s world of communications, everyone is focused on racing to the next thing…so much so, that we’re not really enjoying what we’re doing because we’re always worried about what we’re going to be doing next. We’re always pressing the fast-forward button, rather than the pause button. But there is power in a pause. Pausing allows you to take a breath in your life. I personally believe that pausing helps us with creativity, found to be one of the most coveted tools in leadership.

July 2014

I also recall Dr. Paulette Merchel, a drama and speech professor at Marywood University, who taught about the power of a well- positioned pause when delivering a speech – one of the most effective tools I try to remember to use. “Pausing” is the foundation of our main theme in this July issue. I am confident that you will find some great ideas that will help you get the most out of your summer, whether you choose to parasail, whitewater raft or simply enjoy a beautiful lakeside dinner at sunset.

Fondly,

Paula

Soaring: Exhilaration Meets Relaxation Parasailing Experience Over Lake Wallenpaupack Photos: R o

b Lettieri

ake Wallenpaupack looks different when you’re soaring 400 feet above it. Just ask Melissa Delfino and Stephanie Hatfield, who eagerly obliged to go parasailing for Happenings Magazine’s cover photo shoot. Hatfield, a certified personal trainer, and Delfino, a health and physical education teacher, are athletes with an affinity for running. This time, the experience took their feet off the ground for a parasailing adventure! “Our smiles weren't fake; we really had a good time,” admits Hatfield. “That initial feeling of being lifted up and your feet leaving the platform is very surreal. You feel the wind pulling you up higher and higher, and the boat below gets smaller and

Photogra p

smaller,” she describes. “It's very serene up there. The views are just fantastic, and it's so quiet. Melissa and I Melissa D elfino & S actually had a tephanie Hatfield really nice chat up there.” “It was everything I expected and more,” agrees Delfino. “As we were getting strapped in on the boat, they were quick to put us at ease and made us feel very safe and secure.” “They” were Erik and Julie Sonsteby, owners of Pocono Action Sports, and Parasail Captain Steve Enoksen. Pocono Action Sports has been the rental and water sports division of Lighthouse Harbor Marina in Greentown since 1995. They introduced the parasailing experience in 2012. “Lake Wallenpaupack is

such a large and beautiful lake, it is ideal for parasailing,” admits Sonsteby. At first glance, soaring above the lake brings to mind adventure and exhilaration. But our cover models and Sonsteby agree, “Parasailing is very easy and relaxing.” “It is a profound experience,” Delfino continues. “Rarely does a human get to see the earth from that perspective. The view was so beautiful; it took my breath away. I felt weightless and free, like I was flying! It was so

JULY 14 PGS 1-24_Layout 1 6/17/14 2:21 PM Page 9

incredibly peaceful. As I looked down at the lake, I thought, what a beautiful world we live in!” Although Hatfield and Delfino are athletes, parasailing requires virtually no physical skills. After being placed into a harness, the rider sits toward the back of the boat. As the boat speed increases, the rider is gently lifted into the air. When all of the line is deployed, approximately 600 feet, the rider is about 300 to 400 feet in the air. Children as young as 5-years-old can fly with parents. “We’ve even had a couple celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary in the air,” admits Sonsteby. Pocono Action Sports’ captains are all industry-trained and follow stringent standards. Weather and water conditions are constantly being monitored. Hatfield’s children came to the photo shoot. “They thought it was great! At first, they watched from shore; then they were permitted to be on the other boat that was out on the water with us. It was a lot of fun for them to see! I think I earned some ‘cool points’ that

day,” Hatfield admits. Delfino lives with her husband Joseph and their three daughters, Gianna, Elisa Mia and Sienna, in Dunmore. Hatfield, her husband Andrew and their children Gabe and Evie reside in North Abington Township. Parasailing is available Monday through Friday until mid-September; advance reservations are recommended. Pocono Action Sports offers a wide variety of boat rentals, from fishing boats and pontoons to ski boats and jet skis. Both Hatfield and Delfino say they would, “Definitely parasail again.” “I would love to share the experience with my husband and children someday,” continues Delfino. “And I think it would be a great gift

of y, owners e Sonsteb Erik & Juli Action Sports Pocono

for my mom and dad. What a great memory that would be!” Sonsteby says the reaction is typical. “All of our flying customers have been so excited about the experience. We’ve had many people come back again and again.” Visit www. PoconoActionSports.com or call 570-857-0779. –Erika A. Bruckner

Relaxation

JULY 14 PGS 1-24_Layout 1 6/17/14 2:21 PM Page 10

How Do You Take the Lake?

Ehrhardt’s Waterfront Resort, Hawley

Water Yoga The Boat Shop in Tafton offers a unique rejuvenation method – yoga on the lake. The shop rents Connelly stand-up paddleboards, which Vice President Roy Finney, Jr. says can be used for yoga. “This is catching on as a great way to relax and truly enjoy being surrounded by nature,” he says. A massive float with seating for six or more people is also available to rent. “It’s like having your own small island,” he describes. Smaller rafts can transport people from boat or dock to the float or can be used to float a cooler nearby. The Boat Shop is the only dealer in PA recognized by Boating Industry Magazine as one of the Top 100 dealers in North America. www.PABoatShop.com

Peaceful Escape “Relaxation at its best,” is how Innkeeper Mary Hoehing describes a visit to Fern Hall Inn in Clifford. “All worries and hurries are left behind when you walk through our doors,” she admits. Stay overnight and enjoy a late morning breakfast, stroll around the golf course or lake and lounge on the Adirondack chairs.

After dinner on the patio, bring a drink to the deck of the boathouse to enjoy the sunset over Crystal Lake. To add a bit of adventure, try kayaking on the lake or a round of golf on the property’s award-winning Scottish Glen Golf Course. All summer, treat yourself to the Outback Backyard BBQ or Brunch Buffet on Sundays. The Arts @ Fern Hall will be July 19, and an Intimate Bridal Showcase will be July 27. www.FernHallInn.com

Calming Waterfront “There is nothing more relaxing than a quiet morning at the lake, watching the ducks paddy by or the blue heron wait patiently for its next catch,” says Sarah O’Fee, director of marketing at Ehrhardt’s Waterfront Resort in Hawley. Guests relax in Adirondack chairs by Lake Wallenpaupack and love evening campfires. “Couples love to stroll along the water while families enjoy floating in our lake-view outdoor pool,”she says. “The most popular thing to do is enjoy a sunset. The waterfront resort is also a home base for adventurous things to do in the region, from bike riding to water activities. Ehrhardt’s offers guests complimentary use of rowboats, paddleboats and canoes. Resort guests enjoy a cookout every Wednesday in July. Fridays bring live music in the pub. www.Ehrhardts.com

Adventure! Make Waves Malibu and Axis towboats are designed to make waves. Available for rent at the Boat Shop in Tafton, these boats create the perfect wake for wakeboarding, wakesurfing and waterskiing. The shop offers lessons behind their fully loaded Malibu. “Wakeboarding on one of our CWB or Ronix boards would be the ticket for most people, as the feeling of your first jump is a memorable one,” says Vice President Roy Finney, Jr. “Once someone advances to doing flips and spins, it can be addicting!” Wakesurfing, while not as fast-paced, is a unique adventure. “To be actually surfing without a rope on an endless wave is an amazing feeling,” continues Finney. “As you advance, you can use one of Phase 5’s amazing surfers and begin to do spins and aerials.” The shop will host Wakesurf Weekend in July to introduce the sport with demos and clinics with a seven-time World Wakesurf Champion! www.PABoatShop.com

Train and Tone Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean your health and fitness has to suffer. Lake Region Fitness in Hawley offers day and seasonal passes as well as discounted day passes by the booklet. These seasonal and day passes carry all the same privileges as a full member; this includes the use of all the gym’s facilities and all classes, including yoga, Zumba, cross training and spin. Lake Region Fitness is only minutes from Lake Wallenpaupack and most summer activities. “We have a clean, bright and airy facility with all the equipment to get a proper workout regardless of your style,” says Manager Gina Lecce. Male and female personal trainers are on call to help with any workout needs. www.LakeRegionFitness.net

of the Finger Lakes in New York also offers plenty of adventure! “The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail a fantastic region for wine tours because of its diversity,” according to Executive Director Cathy Millspaugh. The trail boasts 17 wineries producing award-winning wines. Distilleries within four of the wineries produce liqueurs, port, limoncello, vodka, gin and rye whiskey. “You can leisurely travel from winery to winery and enjoy a glass of wine while relishing in delicious cuisine offered at our restaurants,” admits Millspaugh. “For adventure, you can find great things to do along the trail, like hiking along Taughnnnock Falls or at any of the gorges in the Ithaca area.” She says boating is one of the best ways to get to some wineries. Five wineries on the trail have boat access, offering a unique experience in wine tasting. July events include “Celebrate Our Colors” at Knapp Winery, Americana Vineyards “Birthday Bash” and Thirsty Owl Wine Co’s “Reds, Whites and Blues Celebration” on Independence Day Weekend. Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery is offering Dinner and a Movie, with a unique wine and food pairing dinner. A Chocoholic’s Celebration at Varick Winery and Goose Watch Winery’s 17th Anniversary Party and continued Classic Car Show are also on page 12 in July. Visitors will want to take advantage of the Vino Visa Coupon Book, a $15 find that has $300 value! www.Cayuga Wine Trail.com

Dinner on the Deck Enjoying steaks, seafood and Italian specialties is easy at Gresham’s Chop House in Hawley. But what makes Gresham’s so relaxing? “Quite simply– phenomenal dinner, with a nice glass of wine on the deck overlooking beautiful Lake Wallenpaupack,” says CoOwner and Manager Thomas Regenski. Come early for dinner, and walk outside to watch the largest Fourth of July Fireworks show in the area. The lakeside restaurant has been family run for 16 years; last year, they earned the SBA Family-Owned Business of the Year Award. “We take great pride in assuring our customers have the best experience possible while dining here on the lake,” says Regenski. www.GreshamsChopHouse.com

Cruise Along “Our guests sit back and relax as the boat captain takes them around the lake, discussing the history and showing various points of interest,” says Bridget Gelderman, owner of Wallenpaupack Scenic Boat Tours. The tour is perfect for those who wish to get out on the lake without owning or operating a boat. All ages can enjoy the one-hour tour, which highlights the Hydroelectric Dam, lake history, Epply Island and an up-close view of the action on the lake. During peak season, midJune through Labor Day, tours depart every

hour from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; some sunset cruises also available. Tours depart in Hawley near the Lake Wallenpaupack Observation Dike on Route 6. A 4th of July Fireworks cruise promises to sell out quickly; get advance tickets online. Boats are also available for rental. www.WallenpaupackScenicBoatTours.com

Old-World Charm Geneva on the Lake has been offering hospitality for 32 years and has received the coveted AAA Four-Diamond Award each year. The Historic Landmark is set on 10 beautiful acres on the shores of Seneca Lake. According to General Manager William Schickel, guests love enjoying the lake and 70-foot pool, lawn games and wonderful dining. Summer getaways to the lakeside, old-world-style resort include luxurious suites furnished with Stickley, full breakfast, access to bikes and fitness facilities. Guests can board a late-afternoon lake cruise aboard “Bella Frascati,” the resort’s 24-foot pontoon boat. Every Friday evening, indulge in a Wine & Cheese Reception featuring local wines. Old-world architecture and charm meet modern luxuries in the romantic villa and elegant suites. Summertime Series dinners feature al fresco dining on the Terrace overlooking Seneca Lake, accompanied by live jazz or blue grass performances. www.GenevaOnTheLake.com continued on page 14

ADVENTURE

Glen Motor Inn, Watkins Glen, NY

Rev up to Relax

Close to the Action

According to Director of Marketing Rory O’Fee, “Woodloch has mastered the art of going full-throttle and hitting the pause button at the same time.” With over 30 daily activities and amenities, Woodloch Resort in Hawley can tailor each stay to match guests’ preference. Mix zip lining (see page 45), rock wall climbing, paint ball and water skiing for those who want to get the adrenaline pumping. “I would encourage guests to partake in Woodloch’s Double Dare event, Woodloch Olympics or Lake Games. These homegrown family bonding activities are highoctane events that get everyone involved and challenge you on every level, physically and mentally. The element of competition is what makes it adventurous for me,” says O’Fee. “Take a leisurely boat ride on Lake Teedyuskung, unwind in our Jacuzzis, take a nature hike or take in a show.” Resort guests have privileged access to The Lodge at Woodloch, a CNT & Travel+Leisure world’s top 10 spa.“If someone is looking to getaway for a summer vacation, Woodloch is right in your backyard, is nationally and internationally renowned for its product and offers unrivaled hospitality.” www.Woodloch.com

Headed to Watkins Glen for the action? Opt for some down time with accommodations at The Glen Motor Inn. Many guests at the Inn are in town to enjoy local events and activities, such as Watkins Glen International Raceway, Watkins Glen State Park and Finger Lakes region winery, brewery and cheese trails. Nancy Franzese, restaurant manager and daughter of the owner, says after a fun day exploring, the most relaxing thing is, “sitting on your balcony, sipping your favorite beverage and watching the lake.” The Inn is a nostalgic motel, family-owned and operated since 1937. “It has been an integral part of the history of racing in Watkins Glen playing host to many of the famous racers and celebrities of the day,” notes Franzese. “The lobby is lined with world famous photographs of the people who have been our guests over the years. We also have the best view in the Finger Lakes; everything has a panoramic view of Seneca Lake and the opposite hills.” Guests can stay for lunch and dinner daily at the onsite Montage Italian Grill, open May through October. www.GlenMotorInn.com continued on page 16

Winery tours open to all ages include the history of Swedish Hill and the region’s wine roots as well as an explanation of the winemaking process and tools. “We'll explain how we create consistent award-winning wines each year. We'll also show our bottling facilities, and perhaps you’ll see our winemaking crew in action. We end the tour at our brandy still and depict how it's used to produce some of our distilled items,” explains Case. The winery offers 30 wines in the tasting room, 22 of which are current gold medalists. Swedish Hill is one of the most award-winning wineries of the Finger Lakes region and the only one to have won three Governor's Cups, the highest honor a New York State winery can achieve. www.SwedishHill.com

Watery Wine Tour “Taking a boat ride and visiting wineries. How much more relaxing can you get?” asks Capt. Rick Eleck, CEO, Finger Lakes Wine Cruises and School's Out Charters. The cruises combine a luxurious boat ride on Cayuga Lake with tastings at Finger Lakes Region wineries. Local micro-beer samplings and wine tastings are available on select summer cruises. Described by Home and Away Magazine as, “a watery version of a pub crawl,” with six passengers per boat, it’s an exclusive and unique way to experience popular Finger Lakes wineries. The number of wineries visited depends on the length of the tour. A four-hour tour allows visits to two or three wineries of guests’ choice; a six-hour tour allows visits to between three and five. “It’s said that wine and water don’t mix. True wine lovers, however, know better,” he adds. Sunset and sightseeing cruises are also available. www.SchoolsOutBoatTours.com

Relaxing Region

Chamber of Commerce. Satisfy an adventurous spirit in Yates County by hiking Outlet Trail, one of the “25 Best Hiking Trails in the Northeast. Jet skiing, water skiing and other lake activities abound. Yates County is also home to the largest farm and craft market in the state, the Windmill Farm and Craft Market.

Retail Therapy “A shopping experience at Van Gorders’ Furniture is different from a trip to typical furniture store,” admits Co-Owner Dylan Van Gorder. “Here at Van Gorders', customers can enjoy a relaxed shopping atmosphere without any pushy salespeople. We offer professional and knowledgeable advice only when you need it.” Customers’ favorite items are unique, rustic pieces that reflect the region’s outdoor, country lifestyle, such as canoe bookshelves, barn-wood bedroom sets and wildlife-themed upholstered sofas. The Hawley and Honesdale stores sell numerous items to make a home more relaxing, from Lay-Z-Boy recliners and Sealy Posturepedic mattresses inside to Adirondack rockers and hammocks outside. Van Gorders' plans to have a mattress blowout sale centered around the summer season. “With the opening of our New Sealy Gallery, we plan to offer the best products in sleep technology at the most competitive prices,” explains Van Gorder.” At each location, customers find fourth-generation family business owners. www.VanGorders.com continued on page 22 Yates County, NY

ADVENTURE

Summer Camping Tradition “Camping or Cottaging at the lake is simply one of those anomalies that can be equally relaxing and adventurous and sometime in the very same moment,” says Jan Keen, vice president of sales and marketing at Keen Lake Camping and Cottage Resort in Waymart. She continues, “Simplicity is the key to relaxing, rejuvenating and renewing at the lake. It is offering the opportunity for quiet so that the treasured moment becomes a precious memory. Muted conversation around a crackling campfire, waking early to watch the mist rise off the water or being present so that once-in-alifetime moment can be observed are the experiences one breathes in as much as they do the country air.” Guests can easily find adventure at Keen Lake through fishing, boating, hiking, bocce ball, horseshoes

and basketball. Activity Director Sarah Wood has planned interactive activities such as an adult neon paint competition, a Cowboy breakfast, making firefly jars and a series of “Messy Art,” the last of which was human cake decorating, where the kids were the cupcakes! Themed weekends, such as the popular “Once Upon a Time Week” keep guests returning annually. Keen Lake will celebrate their 60th anniversary with the Splish, Splash Birthday Bash– a great big beach party with games, music, food and a children’s garden dedication. Keen says, “Our guests are truly our guests. We invite them to our home and we treat them as such. Third- and fourth-generation families are among Keen Lake’s summer guests. Some stay for the entire summer; some pop in for a few weekends a year.” www.KeenLake.com –Erika A. Bruckner

Live. Lake. Love. Home Remodel on Lake Wallenpaupack

Lake Wallenpaupack, nestled in Pike and Wayne Counties, is a valuable draw for full-time and part-time residents. Eric Cassel of Cassel Building Contractors, Inc. knows the value of this place. His office is just minutes away from the water. The family-run business has been in operation since 1979, and the team recently renovated a home on the lake. While the exterior remains the same, Cassel Building Contractors made many changes to the interior. The builders struck a chord between aesthetics and functionality when reconditioning this lake home. The lake can be seen from any room. The color scheme inspires relaxation and life on the lake, with tranquil blues, grays and whites. Scraped hickory wooden floors were installed, adding character and a rustic feel to the home. Homeowner Donna Finney says, “I wanted it light and bright. We wanted the house to looking for.”

Donna and Roy Finney are lifelong lovers of the lake. The two own The Boat Shop, a marina in Tafton that provides quality boats, services and equipment. She says, “We water ski, kayak, any water activities – you name it – we do it here. Even though we own the marina and sell boats full-time, we still spend our days off here, on the water. We live for the lake and live for what we do.” –Monika Loefflad

Exploring the Lehigh Gorge with Jim Thorpe River Adventures he Lehigh River is great for rafting. “It is a legitimate whitewater run, and the Lehigh Gorge State Park is one of the prettiest places in the Unites States,” says Jerry McAward, president of Jim Thorpe River Adventures and Northeast PA Kayak School.

The Lehigh River was McAward’s first rafting experience. “I loved the adventure of captaining my own raft with the help of river guides. I kept coming back two to three times a year; then I started guiding on the river. The river is my office, and I sometimes can’t believe I make my living showing people the beauty, peace and excitement of rafting and kayaking the Lehigh River,” says McAward.

The Easy Water Rafting trip or the Introduction to Whitewater Rafting are recommended for first timers. More experienced rafters enjoy the Big Time Whitewater rafting trip through the class two and three rapids of the Lehigh Gorge. Children can enjoy a river adventure starting at age 4. Ages 8 and older can adventure with the Big Time Whitewater Rafting trip from June to October when water guns are used. A raft, paddle, personal floatation device and a professional river guide are provided. Changing rooms with showers, a picnic area, a waterproof container for lunch and free hot dogs on weekends are provided. A box lunch can be purchased for $8.

HappeningsPA.com

River guides are trained in swiftwater rescue to make sure everyone is safe. All river guides are certified in First Aid and CPR. Several have Wilderness First Aid and EMT certification. “Landmarks are many, though they might be a bit hard to recognize from the raft. There’s the Lehigh Tannery, Buttermilk Falls, 900-foot tall gorge walls, mini waterfalls and thousands of acres of trees of all varieties climbing the walls of the gorge,” says McAward. He often hears, “I can’t believe I can raft with my family through this kind of beauty and excitement.” Visit www.jtratf.com or call 570-325-3570. –Linda Scott

Who’s New at Claws ‘N’ Paws Wild Animal Park?

laws ‘N’ Paws Wild Animal Park in Hamlin has welcomed many new animals this year, including a baby cougar named Apache. A miniature mule, baby wallabies, skunks and a patas monkey were all born on site.

Chris Hall, who is a jack-ofall-trades and vice president at the park, says Claws ‘N’ Paws continues to bring new life and adventure for visitors to enjoy. “We are always adding, improving and rebuilding exhibits every year,” Hall says. Though the young, new animals bring high energy and excitement to the park, Hall says he’s grown attached to many of the life-long park residents. A tight-knit 50

friendship with Lilly and Mama Bear (above), two gibbons, has reaffirmed Hall’s love of caring for animals and his respect for everyone who cares for the animals at Claws ‘N’ Paws. The changing environment in the park’s animal family welcomes new and returning guests to interact with both the popular exhibits and new additions. The lorry parrot-feeding exhibit allows guests to feed the birds as they land on shoulders, arms and heads. In the “Turtle Town” petting zoo and the giraffe feeding area guests get personal by touching, feeding and talking to the friendly animals.

HappeningsPA.com

Guests are surprised and excited when new animals and exhibits are brought in as frequently as they are at Claws ‘N’ Paws. As Hall says, “Where else can you walk through the woods of PA and hear lions roar, monkeys sing and wolves howl?” The park is open daily, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until late October.

Movies Under the Stars

ld-fashioned, family fun. That’s what makes Circle DriveIn Theater Owner Mike Delfino proud. Delfino, who has been with the theater for 61 of the theater’s 65 years, says, “It’s more of a family theater than anything else. It’s entertainment for Mom, Pop and the kids!”

One of the longest-running theaters in the nation, Circle Drive-In in Dickson City plays all firstrun movies. The family appeal includes sitting in or around the car to watch two movies for the price of one ($8 for adults and $5 for kids). Families can bring their own food or stroll to the snack bar for reasonably-priced fare. Pizza, popcorn and drinks are customer favorites. “We’re modern and modest,” describes Delfino. “We take pride in everything from the clean restrooms to the paved parking lot.” In addition to double features every Friday, Saturday 58

and Sunday from spring through September, the theater added a live broadcast of a Jimmy Buffett concert in June, showing the live performance from Texas on the giant screen. Birthday parties can also be celebrated at the theater, complete with food, movies and a birthday photo announcement on the largest screen in PA. In 1945, they broke ground for the theater. “We’re still going, and we expect to be here in perpetuity,” says Delfino. “They better get used to me,” he jokes, “I’m going to be here in perpetuity too.” He didn’t always have such confidence in the business. “When I began, I didn’t think it was going to last a year! I love what I’m doing. When you love what you’re doing, you’ll never work a day in your life. I’ve never worked a day in my life at the theater,” he admits. “I get satisfaction in seeing all these people enjoying themselves and having a night

out for the whole family.” After 65 years, the theater, located just off the Scranton/Carbondale Highway, is a regional icon. Delfino has seen a few changes over the past six decades in the industry. One major improvement was changing to digital projectors and a bigger screen with cinemascope in 2012. “The movies are now clearer; people notice and appreciate the difference in the picture,” he says. Moviegoers listen to audio via radio instead of the original speakers. The grounds also host the Circle Flea Fair every Sunday through November, where Delfino says you can buy, “Something old, something new, something tarnished and something blue.” Circle of Screams has been added in autumn, giving guests a live Halloween presentation on a frightening wagon ride through the woods.

Wayne County Arts Alliance Open Studio Tours xplore the Wayne County Arts Alliance Artists (WCAA) Studio Tour, now in its 12th year. The free event will run July 11 to 13 from

10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with an open reception on Saturday July 5 from 4 to 7 p.m. “For art lovers, this is the place to be in mid-July. Local artists open their studios, giving the public a rare opportunity to meet them and discuss their philosophies, inspirations and working techniques. It is a phenomenal event with high caliber artisans who reside in Wayne County,” says Cynthia Henson, Studio Tour chairperson. There are 24 artists showcasing their work with eight artists new to the tour. Art can be seen at 17 locations

including eight venues with multiple artists. To preview the artists’ work, stop by the WCAA Gallery, where a sample of each artist’s work will be on display during studio tour hours. Painters, potters, photographers, sculptors, jewelers, printmakers, mixed media, batik and folk artists will participate. “The tour was organized by a handful of artists who wanted to foster an appreciation for the arts and share their gifts with the community. This collaboration led to the creation of the Wayne County Arts Alliance which continues to enhance community life with a variety of artfocused, non profit activities,” says Henson.

There are four sites in Honesdale that can be walked to within a half mile. Brochures including a tour map and participating artists are available at libraries, businesses, galleries and tour headquarters at Maude Alley in Honesdale. Call 570-851-2550, or visit www.WayneCountyArtsAllia nce.org –Linda Scott

The tour is scattered throughout Wayne County. Mapping out an itinerary is a good way to enjoy the self guided driving tour.

Naturally Enticing Wildflower Music Festival 2014 all pines and a grassy slope form a natural outdoor amphitheater that is home to the annual Wildflower Music Festival. Situated on the grounds of the Dorflinger-Suydam Wildlife Sanctuary in White Mills, the festival brings live performers to the naturally majestic setting on summer Saturdays.

“There’s no more beautiful venue,” admits Executive Director Joan Gillner. “The location is peaceful and friendly. It is the perfect place for an outdoor concert. By 6 p.m. when the concert begins, the trees shade the sun.” Big band, classical violin, bluegrass, folk and vocals will grace the natural stage each weekend. Performers include Max Zorin, Pre-War Ponies and the Hillbenders. The special concert on August 9 features the two-time Grammy nominated singer and actress Maureen McGovern. A free Steppingstone Concert July 20 at 4 p.m. features multi-award winning student-performers, pianist Kristin Stephenson and Hawley’s own soprano Lisa Rogali. “We present such a variety of great music that there is something for everyone,” explains Gillner. Concert-goers may wish to arrive early enough to hike the trails or stroll by the lake on the scenic grounds. “There is a trail that cir-

Maureen McGovern cles the lake, and from that, you can walk onto ‘Puppy Island,’ where Mrs. Suydam, the woman who gifted the property, buried her dogs,” Gillner recommends. Trails are open until 3 p.m. on concert days. The Dorflinger Glass Museum and gift shop are open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Concert seating opens at 5 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. “There aren’t many music venues where you can bring your own food and beverages,” Gillner admits. Parking is free, and children under age 6 are admitted free. “A family can have an enjoyable evening without spending a fortune. It is more relaxing than most outdoor concerts and less formal than those indoors,” continues Gillner. The combination of beautiful music, breathtaking scenery and friendly pricing attracts many long-term Wildflower Music Festival lovers. “Once people find us, they keep coming back,” says Gillner. “People who have not been here before are in for a pleasant surprise! Many in the audience have been coming for years, and I’ve watched as new friendships develop among the regulars.” Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and, of course, a picnic!

Summer on Sunset Beach he pristine lake and picture-perfect sunsets at Harvey's Lake Beach Association offer beach club members more than meets the eye. The members-only beach also provides an inexpensive place to spend their summer. On Sunday, August 3 the beach will host a free, open swim from noon to 6 p.m. for non-members.

The non-profit beach association, commonly called Sunset Beach, is the most affordable beach club located on PAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest natural lake. A family of six can enjoy a summer at Sunset Beach for $195; each additional family member is $5. When Association President Edward Bilder and his wife, Treasurer Gloria Bilder took over Sunset Beach operations in 1991, they hoped to keep membership costs low

while also adding to the beach's amenities.

The beach's landscape and facilities have changed significantly since opening in 1966. Sunset Beach provides certified and CPRtrained lifeguards, an enclosed swimming area free of fishers and boaters, a pavilion for parties and community events and a grassy beach area for lounging by the water. Summer events on the beach include potluck dinners, movie nights and endof-the-summer fireworks on August 31. Throughout changes to the beach, the Bilders ensure that one thing will always stay the same- the sense of community. "It was important to us to keep maintaining the beach and continue the tradition of a communi-

ty," says Gloria Bilder on her family's decision to join the board. Gloria Bilder grew up spending summers at the beach staying at her grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lake house. Several years, and many memories later, she lives in the home she couldn't wait to visit as a kid. "The beach offers a comfortable, family atmosphere and an area where you can sit, relax and get away," says Bilder. The Bilders encourage Northeast PA residents looking for summer fun to consider becoming members. The club runs an open membership until August 4. Daily hours for Sunset Beach, located at Pole 001 and Lakeside drive, are noon to 6, 7 or 8 p.m., depending on weather and daily beach activity.

Drizzle of Flavor & Health New Shop Specializes in Olive Oils & Vinegars

Litz family subscribes to a very simple philosophy when it comes to running their business. The theory that “an educated consumer is the best consumer” is the heart of what 13 Olives is all about. Customers are invited to ask questions. Shelves are stocked with extra virgin olive oils from places like Spain, Italy, Greece and the U.S. Balsamic vinegars from Italy boast flavors like strawberry, Toronto honey and dark chocolate. Eugene Jr. provides the public with detailed information about each olive oil and vinegar through tastings and demonstrations. Shoppers can also choose from a wide variety of imported pastas, coffees, teas, herbs and mixed seasonings. Biscotti is baked daily by Eugene Jr.

ugene Litz and his son, Eugene Jr., are passionate about oil– specifically olive oil. The father and son recently opened 13 Olives, a shop located in Clarks Summit featuring high-quality extra virgin olive oils and vinegars. Eugene Jr. returned to Northeast PA after opening his own biscotti baking business in North Carolina. During his time in the Tar Heel State, he did business with several proprietors of olive oil stores. Thinking of his home, he saw a market 76

for similar products. Every member of the Litz family has contributed to the set up and operation of the shop. “We each have our own skills, but we do what is necessary when it needs to be done,” said Eugene Sr. The HappeningsPA.com

The family hopes to pass on their knowledge of the health benefits that accompany the consumption of these specialty olive oils, such as lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and the risk of heart disease. “We try to live and breathe the virtues of this oil and these products,” said Eugene Sr. “We really believe in them.” –Monika Loefflad July 2014

Happenings is teaming up with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders to celebrate noteworthy people from Northeast PA. At each Happenings’ Night at the Ballpark, someone we have featured in the magazine gets a VIP experience at the game.

A Winning Team Happenings & Railriders Honor Guests

We were proud to welcome the winner of Happenings Magazine’s Ties that Bind contest to “Bark in the Park Night.” Fans were invited to bring dogs to the game. Bill Sheehan, who represented Blue Chip Animal Farms Refuge in Ties that Bind, was honored. Blue Chip’s Kim Jacobs threw out the first pitch. Sheehan’s dog, Dakota, who was one of the original dogs rescued by Blue Chip, made a celebrity appearance.

(C ontinued from Page 80) On May 24, we honored Christopher Polk and Megan Allman, both of Dickson City. Polkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story was first published in Happenings in August 2013. The 24-year-old Eagle Scout began to suffer from fatigue, loss of appetite and continuous cold-like symptoms. Doctors diagnosed him with end-stage kidney failure. Chris needed a new kidney. 23-yearold Allman agreed to give Chris a second chance at life by donating her kidney. In February, Chris received lifetransforming transplant surgery at Geisinger Wyoming Valley. Both Chris and Megan were well enough to throw the first pitch! They both advocate for organ donation through the Northeast Coalition for the Gift of Life. Follow HappeningsMag on Facebook for updates on the next Happeningsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game date!

Clifford Township Volunteer Fire Co. Picnic

July 24-26

here aren’t many places you can go that are just as you remember them as a kid. For some that’s the appeal of the Clifford Volunteer Fire Company Annual Picnic. Not a lot has changed in the 66 years since the event began. Today third and fourth generations of families are enjoying this beloved summer tradition held each July in Susquehanna County.

Walter Turner, first assistant fire chief and company director, says there’s a conscious effort to retain the old-fashioned family atmosphere of the picnic. “It’s one of the reasons we don’t bring in syndicated rides. We try to keep the price down for families,” explains Turner. “We would never give it up. Too many people look forward to it!” The Picnic boasts its own set of vintage kiddie rides that give the event its flavor and 88

charm. The centerpiece is the original kiddie car ride (above). Wally LaCoe, a charter member and mechanic, built the attraction in the 1950s. Volunteer Fire Company members maintain and operate the ride to this day. The train ride is another landmark attraction. It was originally part of Rocky Glen Amusement Park. Volunteer Fire Company members jumped at the chance to purchase it in the 1950s and set about converting the ride from electric to steam powered. The collection of vintage amusement rides also incudes kiddie boats, a merry-go-round and a second train ride, which takes travelers in a circular route around an on-site pond.

the railroad ties need to be replaced each year. He says though most of the rides are antique, they can still find replacement parts and what they can’t buy they make! All of the organization’s 30 active members pitch-in but Turner says it takes about 200 volunteers to host the actual three-day event. “The community support is fantastic! People just show up and do their job when picnic time comes, then we may not see them again until the following year,” explains Turner. Many families like his have been volunteering with the fire company since its inception. Turner’s father was a charter member, now his son is part of the organization and his

Members of the volunteer fire company maintain all of the rides. According to Turner, the trains require the most upkeep and estimates that 100-150 of HappeningsPA.com

Heroic Feat Inspiration from Veteran Earl Granville arl Granville is spreading his message of hope to fellow veterans in memory of his twin brother, Joe Granville. At speaking engagements throughout the country, Granville reaches out to fellow veterans who are in mental distress with his message, “Do not give up.”

Granville lost his left leg, and his right leg was severely injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) on June 3, 2008 in Zormat, Afghanistan, while he was enlisted in the PA Army National Guard Local 109th Infantry. Friends and fellow servicemen, Major Scott Hagerty of Stillwater, OK and specialist Derek Holland of Wind Gap, PA were killed in the explosion. Following tours of duty in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, the 30-year-old Carbondale native was discharged in January 2010. Later that year, his twin brother, Staff Sgt. Joe Granville took

his own life. Earl Granville says, “I learned how to snow board again and play hockey with one leg. My brother inspired me to better myself and challenge my disability.” Granville completed the Scranton Half Marathon wearing a gas mask, a ruck– a huge backpack soldiers carry on long missions– and an American flag. His girlfriend, Mindy Baldinucci was by his side throughout the race. “The gas mask restricts my breathing a little bit, but to say I did that with a gas mask was pretty incredible,” he says. He participated in the Scranton Half Marathon to challenge himself. “To see if I could do it,” says Granville. His work as Veteran Liaison for Operation Enduring Warrior (OEW) takes him, “where we

can make a difference,” says Granville. “Our job is to honor, empower and motivate veterans into teamwork and perseverance and help them to challenge themselves with their new way of living with their disabilities. If someone is interested in running alongside us in our mission, they talk to me, and I help with the logistics portion. I would also be an athlete and run alongside of them… I’m helping to reach out to other veterans.” He adds, “We in OEW are all veterans. What I personally found in OEW is that camaraderie, and not only would I like to run alongside my fellow wounded comrades but also hopefully help them find that brotherhood they may have lost after hanging up their uniform. “ Earl Granville will graduate in the University of Scranton Class of 2016 with a degree in counseling and human services. He has a daughter, Alexandria Granville, 12, and he resides in Scott Township. –Joan Mead Matsui

Lake Winola House Tour ummers spent on a lake make perfect sense. Lake Winola resident Ellen Wengen and her neighbors took that sentiment one step further when they started the St. Mary of the Lake: Views of Lake Winola fundraiser and house tour benefitting St. Mary of the Lake Parish. The fourth annual event will be on July 27 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Boats will depart from the Lake Winola pavilion, just off of Lake Road, after breakfast is served.

Guests will board a pontoon that will take them across the lake and on a tour of six stunning lakefront homes. Each home on the tour provides a beautiful and different perspective of the water. Along the way, guests will stop for an elegant lunch, silent auction and a grand prize drawing. Wengen recommends reserving

tickets, which are each $40. Proceeds go toward maintenance and upkeep of the church. Auction items include Vera Bradley products and gift cards to area restaurants. The event will take place rain or shine. Call 570378-2014. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Cecelia Dunford

Hitting the Links without the Aches

GOLF CONDITIONING TIPS

ith the summer in full swing, so are golf aficionados. But like all sports, it’s imperative to be in good physical condition to maximize enjoyment and skill. “Many times the inconsistencies in the golf shots can be explained by physical limitations. The longevity of one’s golf season without injury or pain is also very dependent upon the body’s biomechanics,” explains Joy DeSoto of Birchwood Fitness in Clarks Summit. “Since everyone is different in their physical needs, a well-designed training program would have to be tailored to each individual, taking into account his or her mobility, flexibility, stability, strength and power.” Like other sports, golf injuries are common. Many occur spontaneously such as hitting a hard divot and injuring the wrist. But the most common are usually exacerbations of existing conditions or due to overuse. These injuries commonly occur in the back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, hips, ankles and fingers. Chronic injuries, such as a rotator cuff problem, can occur. This may be caused from over rotating if you don’t have good spine rotation. If you aren’t able to use your hips efficiently, often your back or your knees take the stress. A well-designed fitness program can balance out some stability and mobility issues. De Soto notes that having an assessment done is a great way to understand one’s biomechanics, no matter what sport or activity they are involved. “A Movement Screening can help look at movement patterns in someone’s body, not just how strong or flexible a person is.” While exercises do have to be tailored to one’s 96

ability level, selections should be functional movements that enhance a person’s movement versus the visual quality of their muscle. Training in these parameters can correct a variety of aches, pains and golf scores. Call 570585-4030, or visit www.BirchwoodFitness.com

NEPAVoices “

Celebrating the Women of the IHM Pat Brennan & John Lawless

s we sat to write this article, we had many great memories of our days as students at Saint Mary’s School in Dunmore. We had many stories of laughter, learning and faith. We reminisced about all of our teachers there– Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our classes had approximately 55 students in each grade, and our teachers taught with knowledge and discipline. At that time, students were not diagnosed with any special needs; there were no aides in the classroom– just one Sister and some 50 children. Our teachers had to manage all of this ALONE! Let us just say that there were days when we, as students, tested the Sisters to their very last nerve! We learned, and we learned well. John credits one of his 7th grade teachers for teaching him the true and proper use of the English language. His skills of writing and speaking, as a result of this teacher, have served him well in his field of business.

The Sisters of the IHM instilled in us values that we still hold today. We learned to respect authority and each other. We were steeped in the Church traditions that are so important in our lives today. Above all, these great women taught us FAITH. The core experience of FAITH is why we both chose to send our children to Saint Mary’s School in years to come. The community we experienced was to become one our children would learn and grow to cherish. In preparation for this article, we inquired about instances that others had with the IHM Sisters in their lives. One story that stood out was that of a woman who, as a young student, was unruly and irresponsible. One of her teachers, a Sister, saw the good in her and took her under her wing. This woman wrote to us to say that if not for the love and direction of that Sister, she would not have had a chance. On her wedding day, this wonderful Sister took her into the Cathedral convent to HappeningsPA.com

prepare and dress for her wedding ceremony. Her life was profoundly influenced by this Sister. The local work of the IHM Sisters dates back to 1868 when the Diocese of Scranton was established. At that time, the Sisters’ ministry was primarily in teaching and nursing. In 1890 they took on the administration of Saint Joseph’s Center. In the beginning, Saint Joseph’s was an orphanage. Today, the center, which is still run by the IHM Sisters, encompasses so much more. They now minister to young single mothers and to adoptive parents. The primary focus now is caring for those with special needs, both adult and children. This is a very special calling. In 1917, Marywood College had its charter approved. It was the first women’s college in Northeast PA and the first Catholic college for women in the Commonwealth. Marywood University is a renowned institution of higher learning which is administered by so many talented and educated women of the IHM order. In 1925, Saint Joseph’s Hospital in July 2014

JULY 14 PGS 97-120_Layout 1 6/17/14 11:41 AM Page 3

Carbondale opened with the IHM Sisters administrating. These dedicated women have a long history of ministering to the people in our area. With the decline in enrollment of the Catholic Schools, the Sisters have expanded their ministry to parish work and social justice issues as well. They are serving the poor and needy tirelessly. The presence and support of the IHM Sisters impacts the lives of countless students, patients, parishioners and family members. The elderly population of the Sisters is constantly growing. They move to Our Lady of Peace Residence as they reach their elder

years; however, I have heard it said that an IHM Sister never retires. For those of you who believe in the power of prayer, I daresay you will not find a storehouse of power greater than that of the beautiful Sisters at Our Lady of Peace Residence. The challenge now is to ensure that the finances are available to take care of the women who have touched so many of our lives. What they do have is a special place in Heaven. It is up to us, the ones who have benefited by their gracious and loving work, to help out and give back.

Please join us on August 9 at Marywood University as we celebrate the IHM Sisters at a special event hosted by the IHM Foundation to support the IHM Retirement Fund. Master of Ceremonies is Msgr. Joseph G. Quinn. Guest Speaker is P.J. Carlesimo. 570-346-5431.

MYSt ory

Jack Puhl American Artist

“

worked in Washington, D.C. for an aggressive health club system. Daily flights from D.C. to NYC were typical, coupled with 60 to 70-hour work weeks. Until September 11, 2001 this corporate life seemed justified. Because of the events that day, and some serious introspection, I resigned my position and set a course for "me."

I travelled and enjoyed the free time I missed while climbing the corporate ladder. I spent months on a cross-country trip across the United States. The open road not only opens your senses, it opens your heart. After a

of my current work, so I set off to Walgreens and purchased a child's watercolor strip of paints and blank card stock, and I sent a few simple paintings. Within days, I was contracted as a greeting card artist. I was very impressed with myself… until the orders arrived. Each card was hand-painted and packaged, so multiple orders of over 100 were unbelievably overwhelming. Every flat surface in my apartment was occupied with card stock as I stormed through the space in a maniacal, lunatic-assemblyline production. The financial burden of big city living was starting to take its toll. I retreated back to

few visits to Chicago, I set up residence. There, I stumbled upon my art career. After purchasing an "arty" greeting card, the $14 price tag had me perplexed. The simplicity of the artistry stirred my inner artist, as did the price. I researched the company and approached them to join their artistic troupe. I had no samples 102

Pennsylvania where the cost of living wasn't so extreme. This time, I landed in Lancaster. I started painting barns and scenes of farming life, one of my absolute favorite subjects. In this beautiful area I fell back upon my culinary arts experience and worked as a sous chef at an historic country inn. After a year of whoopie pies and apple butter, my Amish experience was fulfilled, and I moved HappeningsPA.com

back to my hometown. I settled into a small, mountain cottage in Scranton's East Mountain section where I grew up, and it is here I have prospered. It seemed that once I put down some roots, my art career took off, especially in the Chicago market. Landing in specialty boutiques, the Drake Hotel and the exclusive Leigh Gallery, it seemed everything I was painting sold. At this time, some of my paintings began being used on the sets of multiple television shows. The cost of living, convenience to major cities and a quick and easy airport has made living here very comfortable. I am able to pursue my artistic projects and be able to “eat" at the same time. My business background played a role in figuring out the best way to have food, water, shelter and an art career, in a realistic way. Here, I can focus, create beautiful art, have my parents' home cooking and ride horses with my sister. Scranton and its surrounding areas have filled my calendar, especially with home portraits, scenes of small town life and, of course, my series of Jack Puhl Collection Christmas Ornaments. All of my ornaments are made to order. I do not mass-produce anything. Once a series of ornaments have sold to 100, they are discontinued. I also create smaller reproduction, limited editions, and it is fun to watch them become highly "collectible." -Jack Puhl

TechnicallyLiving:

WEARABLE Technology ast month’s article featured practical apps (If you missed it, read online at www.HappeningsPA.com ). This article takes it a step further, combining smart gadgets paired with apps that are meant to track aspects of your life through wearable technology.

Wellness Ga dgets Withings creates smart products and apps for various aspects of life. From activity trackers to baby monitoring, Withings may be one of the most diverse players in the industry. Starting with their adult smart scales, they offer two options to help you stay in control of your weight. The base model tracks weight and BMI; the advanced model also tracks fat mass, standing heart rate and air quality. Their activity tracker monitors steps, elevation, distance and calories. The sleep monitor involves a bedside device that monitors noise pollution, room temperature and light level and includes a sleep sensor that is placed underneath

106

the mattress to monitor body movements, breathing cycles and heart rate. The FDA-approved wireless blood pressure monitor captures systolic, diastolic and heart rate readings. Finally, they offer a baby-friendly version of their scale and a baby monitoring device for viewing your infant when sleeping in another room. All products sync with an iOS or Android app for easy tracking.

S lo uc h F i x e r Compared to Withings, the Lumo Bodytech product line is a bit less impressive, though they have a product that has the power to truly improve lives in our slouching computer age. The Lumo Lift is a small object pinned to clothes like a button. The smart gadget that monitors your posture and creates a gentle vibration when you are slouching, so that you correct your posture.

Wireless Earphones The Dash, wireless earphones by Bragi, proposes to provide bluetooth connectivity and smart monitoring capabilities. Claiming the device, “works in sympathy

with the wearer,” it is supposed to be able to track movements (pace, steps, cadence and distance) and vitals (heart rate, oxygen saturation and energy) all while enjoying high-quality music or voice calls.

Scanadu Our last product this month is another one currently in development. Though further along in the pipeline than the Dash, the Scanadu Scout is currently seeking FDA approval. If approved, it will be a small handheld device that does not require the user to be constantly wearing it. By placing its sensor up against the body, it will monitor physiological metrics such as temperature, heart rate, blood oxygenation, respiratory rate, ECG and diastolic/systolic blood pressure. This device, if released in its current form, may be fit for those who are interested in collecting vitals, but who are not yet ready to take part in the wearable trend. -Matt Artz, VP of Strategy & Operations, TR Technology Solutions. Matt enjoys traveling, reading, music, yoga and meditation.

RAISE YOUR GLASS TO A SEASON OF FUN! III Ponds Winery Summer Events

The winery uses juice from California, The Finger Lakes Region of New York and Pennsylvania. “We wanted to purchase juices from different areas in order to achieve a variety of flavors,” explains Susan Murphy, III Ponds winery manager. The myriad of flavors they have achieved span from dry to sweet to suit their patrons’ tastes. They are debuting new wines this summer including Blue Beary, a blueberry wine, Painted Turtle, a concord, and Bridge Across the Ponds Riesling. III Ponds Winery is more than a place to purchase wine, it is a destination to savor wine and the company of friends. Patrons are encouraged to take advantage of the beautiful natural landscape and walk along the beautiful three ponds for which the winery was named. For a more leisurely pursuit, relax in the Adirondack chairs that flank the ponds or in the cozy tasting room.

aking great wine is best paired with those who enjoy drinking great wine. Brothers-in-law Randy Marchuk and Robert Murphy are one such pairing. Marchuk has been making wine for over 20 years, and Murphy has always wanted to own a place where friends and family can connect over a glass of wine. Last year their shared passion became reality with the opening of III Ponds Winery.

116

Their open-air field will host concerts this summer. The Nancy James Duo will take the stage July 19 from 6 to 10 p.m. Murphy encourages wine enthusiasts to pack their lawn chairs and a picnic for the great music and wine. An entertaining opportunity for August is Paint Nite. Patrons buy tickets in advance and create a beautiful painting while enjoying superior wine. Every Sunday is Sangria Sunday, featuring homemade white and red Sangria. Tastings are always free; however, some events will have an entrance cost.

10 Ways to Save Today for Your Tomorrow

RETIREMENT

S AV I N G S

he average American spends 20 years in retirement. With the days of corporate pensions long gone and Social Security not likely to provide enough income, retirement planning is necessary. While the numbers can be alarming for how much one will need to put aside to replace one’s income, (on average 78 percent), a few savvy decisions can make the difference. John Mackarey, agent with New York Life Insurance, shares some tips.

desires for the period after you stop working. Review it annually.

1) Start Early: The earlier you start putting money aside, the better. A good rule of thumb is to put away 10 percent of your income.

4) Diversify Assets: Make sure not to have all of your eggs in one basket. Have a mixed portfolio of safe and risky investments.

2) Consider a Tax-Deferred Vehicle: Traditional and Roth IRAs offer the miracle of compounding interest with generous tax breaks. The choice depends upon your individual financial situation. With traditional IRAs, you avoid taxes when you put the money in. With Roth IRAs, you avoid taxes when you take money out in retirement.

5) Consider Permanent Life Insurance: Permanent or whole-life polices provide death protection benefits, accumulate cash value and offer the potential for the policy to earn dividends.

3) Design a Plan: Everyone’s needs are different. Think about goals and 118

6) Review Your Current Financial State: Organize assets and liabilities on a personal balance sheet to understand where you are and where you need to go.

7) Consider an Income Annuity: Annuities can supplement or replace a HappeningsPA.com

TIPS

pension by providing a guaranteed monthly paycheck throughout retirement.

8) Make Savings a Habit: If you are already saving, keep going. If not, get started with any amount, and watch it grow. 9) Consult a professional: Do not go at it alone. Educate yourself by talking to various professionals. 10) Design a Long-Term Care Plan: Few envision needing full-time care in their old age. Since Medicare does not cover all health care costs, long-term care insurances policies can fill the void. Talk to an eldercare attorney to discuss specifics.

Mercado is running a “Suits for Cancer” drive until August 1 to help the male campers have an authentic prom experience during the over-night camp’s dance night.

This year, Mercado hopes her father will be able to witness the excitement after the male campers are surprised with the suits from her drive. “To see the looks on their faces will be well worth it,” she says. She dedicated the suit drive to her father’s battle with colon cancer. The “Suits for Cancer” drive is collecting new and gently used men’s formal wear pieces including ties, belts, suit coats, dress shirts and pants, vests, shoes and top hats. A wide range of boys and men’s sizes are accepted.

Teach Kids to Save Money Fidelity President/CEO, Dan Santaniello, meets with a new generation of Fidelity customers.

account on their behalf.

n today’s complex and often uncertain financial environment, the old adage “a penny saved, is a penny earned,” is a valuable idiom that can offer children a lifetime of financial security. The key to teaching children about saving is starting early. Noelle Krempasky, assistant vice president and marketing communications officer at Fidelity Bank offers advice on how to encourage children to save and information about the Fidelity Bank Green Team Children’s Savings Program.

1. Why open a savings account for a child? Opening a savings account for a child is a great idea and inspires kids to save. It starts a conversation about money and provides a tool for teaching them math skills, disci122

pline and patience. It sets them on a path to good financial management.

2. How can parents teach children the importance of saving? Talk to your children about money and finance in terms they can understand. Talk to them about the difference between saving money and spending it, and try to incorporate your children into financial tasks. Don’t allow saving to be an option; treat it just like a bill and make transfers into a savings account automatic. Another great way for children to save is to divide any savings into thirds: onethird to save, one-third to spend and one-third to donate.

3. At what age can a child open an account? It can be any age as long as a parent or guardian opens the

HappeningsPA.com

4. What are the benefits to the Fidelity Green Team children’s savings program? Each child who opens a Green Team savings account receives a free piggy bank and is encouraged to bring their saved money back to the bank to use in our free coin machines. The child can then deposit their savings. This makes savings an ongoing, fun process rather than a one-time event. Children can also earn up to $10 each year based on the amount of money they save. Fidelity also invites all Green Team members to four exclusive events each year- from a day at the movies to an afternoon planting flowers at a local park. Each event has some element of financial education to it, but is presented in a way that is fun to children. Visit www.BankFidelity.com or call 800-388-4380. –Julie Korponai

“T

he greatest fear of those who are terminally ill is not death and pain, but the fear of being left alone, of dying without anyone by their side," says a hospice volunteer. Hospice of the Sacred Heart lightens the fear of abandonment through its mission to provide comfort, care, hope and choice to patients and their families while guiding them through their end-of-life journey. This year, Hospice of the Sacred Heart is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. The Luzerne County-based institution was the inspiration of Bucci Laser Vision's Dr. Frank A. Bucci, Jr., influenced by the life of his late wife, Angie. ”Angie, who died in 2002, had a special way of caring for everyone, going beyond her own needs to serve others,” says Diane Baldi, chief

executive officer. Angie also had a special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so Dr. Bucci named Hospice of the Sacred Heart as a tribute to his wife.

administration is most proud of its staff, several of whom have been with the program from its inception. "Our success is based on their outstanding care of our patients, as well as our providers."

There are three offices in Wilkes Barre, Moosic and Montrose. Just in time for its 10-year anniversary, a new, free-standing, 10-bed hospice inpatient unit will open this summer. Patients are generally cared for at home, whether that home is their private residence, nursing facility or personal care home. "Now we will also be caring for our patients in our inpatient facility in the coming weeks." Baldi says the

The staff is comprised of 85 mostly full-time employees, many of whom are RNs and LPNs, with most certified in hospice and palliative care. "We have social workers, counselors, pastoral care staff, a wonderful administrative team and an outstanding corps of volunteers that work very hard every day to fulfill our mission." Most noteworthy is that Hospice of the Sacred Heart was the first to start a pediatric hospice team

within its organization to respond to the need of children and their families. That program is affiliated with Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Philadelphia and its palliative care team. Hospice of the Sacred Heart celebrated its 10-year milestone with a special prayer breakfast and its annual Blessing of the Hands ceremony for all staff and volunteers. "A wonderful interfaith memorial service is being planned for this November as we commemorate all those we have cared for in the past 10 years," Baldi notes.

CELEBRATING

Two Veterans Turn 102 in 2014

irthday milestones are usually marked with decades. Turning 30, 40 and so on punctuates lives for many. For Arthur M. Pesotine and William D. Roberts, birthday milestones now go beyond decades to include the century mark. Pesotine and Roberts currently reside at the Gino Merli Veterans Center. They celebrated their birthdays together on April 16.

134

Over the past 100 years, the world around Pesotine and Roberts has gone through tremendous change. In their early childhood, the Titanic sank. Two World Wars began and ended. Pesotine, who turned 102 on January 20, and Roberts, who will turn 102 on July 22, have fought in a World War and have seen life change from a local experience to a global one.

HappeningsPA.com

Pesotine has lived in Duryea, Scranton and Springbrook. The father, grandfather and greatgrandfather was a Private First Class in the US Army. He was stationed in the Rhineland for one year, six months and 15 days where he served as a radio operator in the infantry. He was awarded the EMEA Theatre Ribbon and the Good Conduct Medal. Proud of

all of his service, he still remembers being frightened of the tank shells shot overhead. A welder by trade, one of the greatest changes he has seen over his lifetime is technology changing from “horse and buggy” to “rocket ships.” Pesotine is grateful

to God for his longevity. He says his greatest accomplishments are his family and serving the Lord. William D. Roberts of Hanover Township served as a gunner in an Army Tank Unit. The Sergeant served in Normandy, Northern France, the Rhineland and Ardennes for four years, eight months and 25 days. For nine months, he served on the front lines. He remembers

German soldiers disguising themselves as Americans soldiers. To easily identify themselves, his unit tied yellow ribbons around their left arms. Roberts is decorated with a Purple Heart, European, African and Middle Eastern Service Medals, five Bronze Stars, the Good Conduct Medal and The American Defense Service Medal. He wants his two sons to remember that he served his country. He credits his longevity to good, clean living and eating fresh vegetables. –Kieran O’Brien Kern
