Dear Happenings,I always enjoy reading your magazine; as a matter offact, I will be using it this July as a guide to planningtrips for my cousin Sanja. This will be her first timein America! She is from my homeland of Croatia. Itold her many wonderful things can be done andseen here in NEPA.

–Suzana Russian, Carbondale Twp.

Dear Happenings,Wonderful job on the article on Tom and BettyWhite (July 2012). Many employers in our area willtell you, the biggest obstacle they have to over-come is a negative attitude communicated by man-agement regarding NEPA. As you can see from Tomand Betty White’s insight, Northeastern PA is a won-derful place to live and work. Thanks for helpingspread the word. –Michele Neary, (via email)

FROM THE ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Dear Readers,

Hometown Proud,

ErikaErika A. Bruckner

Local is in. Supporting local businesses…eating local foods… there’s a growingtrend in showing local love! Fortunately,Northeast PA has plenty of shops and farm-stands to satisfy this local-centric movement!Happenings has been dedicated to showingthe love for local businesses for over 40 years,and the pages of this issue are once againpacked with one-of-a-kind finds that makethis region unique!

Along with the local movement, it seems peo-ple everywhere are going back to the days ofhomemade dinners, homegrown foods andhometown shops. Some are doing it to savemoney, promote jobs or to invest in the localeconomy. Some are doing it to encouragesustainability, maximize freshness and reducetransportation pollution. Whatever the rea-son, I love the simplicity and unity this trendis creating!

It’s interesting to see how old-time practicesare being reborn in this digital age asthe global generation

remembers the importance of small-townneighborhoods. We Google gardening tipsand find solutions for household challengeson Pinterest. We locate farm markets viaiPhones and cook from scratch using recipesfrom our favorite blogs. Craigslist andFreecycle provide online outlets to sell or giveitems to neighbors.“Cash mobs” that spendmoney at a designated local business areorganized via Twitter and texts. Facebookgroups encourage money-saving, waste-reducing and community-unifying practices.NEPA Swappers is one such group that shareshome-grown and homemade foods.

My Five Favorite Ways to Go Local This Month:

Visit a farmers market and try a new food. Ask thefarmer how to prepare it.

Shop for meaningful gifts at a locally owned store.You’ll likely find great service and sometimes specialextras like complimentary gift wrapping!

Read labels. Put down the “made in China” goods andpurposefully buy items made in America (or better yet,made in PA… see pages 90-92)!

Taste the local flavor! Break free from the chain andchoose a home-cooked meal at a local restaurant (getideas on pages 76-77)!

Save on gas, and explore your backyard like a tourist!Visit the Everhart Museum and Electric City TrolleyMuseum; spend a day at Sno Cove; go to a street festivalor fair (find one on page 94)!

Join the local-motion and discover the fantas-tic ways to support the Northeast PA commu-nity with ideas from this issue!

My daughter Gianella gets an early start discovering local foods in the garden.

Kathleen believes she met Bryan atdinner in the fall of 1996; Bryan

believes they met at Princeton graduation.They both agree they “re-met” at a mutualfriend’s wedding, and they were engageda year later. Bryan proposed inPhiladelphia, at the site of their firstdate. An American Girl doll, a favoriteof Katie’s from childhood, held theengagement ring as Brian got on oneknee. They were married July 9, 2011at Holy Trinity Catholic Church,Georgetown, Washington, D.C.

The bride’s love of paper led her toemphasize wedding stationery. Shepainted a map in watercolorsdepicting travel routesto Washington D.C.,using old maps andtravel posters for in-spiration. The paintingappeared on hersave-the-date cards,which she hand-addressedin calligraphy. The classic mono-

grammed invitations were com-pleted with stamps that held

historical and regionalsignificance, such as

Civil War stamps anda portrait of George

Washington.

The bride combined aclassic style with per-sonal favorites. Shewore her mother’s1970s wedding dressduring the ceremony.

How to Prepare for the Big Day!Bridal Beauty Regimen Tips

Kelly McCool, ownerof Kelly McCoolSalon Spa

Electrolysis, knows styletrends change quickly.She rec-ommendsthatbrideswait tochoose ahair andmakeup style until the wed-ding day is just a few weeksaway.“I suggest workingfour weeks ahead of time,”says McCool.“When youcome in for the consulta-tion, we’ll discuss hair andmakeup ideas according toyour dress and headpiece.”She conducts a trial run forbrides, where pictures aretaken to make sure brides

find the exact look theydesire for the wedding day.

Tips from Kelly McCool:

1. The bride and bridalparty should get makeupand hair done professionally.

2. The bridal party shouldget their makeup done inthe same color family, so thelook is uniform.

3. Layer makeup and add alittle shimmer, so it stays onall day and shows well inpictures.

4. The ladies should wearhair up, so it stays styled andprevents humidity frommaking it frizzy.

Don’t wear anything dis-tracting like oversized jew-elry, obnoxious prints orbaseball caps. Exposing alot of skin can also be dis-tracting.

Do bring simple props thathelp describe who you areas a couple. For example, ifyou spend time biking,bring bikes.

Where to ShootDo choose locations thatbest fit your personality, aplace where you can becomfortable and have fun.

Don’t limit yourself.Walburn has a few “hotspots” around historicTunkhannock where shecan always count on captur-ing great pictures. However,she enjoys trying out newand exciting locations. Shealways has her eye out forsomething unique.

Engagement photosessions are a fan-tastic way to get to

know a photographerbefore the wedding. Thesessions are an opportunityto casually capture the cou-ple in everyday life, in con-trast to the milestone eventphotos of the wedding day.

Photographer AllisonWalburn has a decade ofexperience helping cou-ples capture love and

style through engage-ment photos. Her studio,Allison WalburnPhotography (formerlyAllison Bolcavage) is locat-ed in historic Tunkhannock.She says the engagementsession helps couplesbecome comfortable withwhat to expect.“I get thebest results on the weddingday if the people, mostlythe groom, have alreadymet and worked with meprior to the wedding,”admits Walburn. She recom-mends the following dosand don’ts for the engage-ment session.

What to WearDo wear something thatmakes you feel comfort-able- your everyday style. Ifyou’re not relaxed aboutthe clothes you’re wearing,it will affect your self-image.

Do think of locations that are special to you asa couple. Walburn typically recommends alocation based on her subjects’ style and inter-est.

Whom to ChooseDo meet the photographer beforehand. Ifthat’s not possible, have a lengthy phone con-versation.

Don’t choose a photographer if you have apersonality conflict. You won’t be able to relaxduring the shoot. Choose a photographer youcan naturally have a friendship with outside ofa professional relationship.

Do use the same photographer who will cap-ture your wedding. Use the opportunity tohelp them get to know you before the big day,so they can better capture your personality.

Don’t choose a photographer who is not opento unique ideas and creative flexibility.

Kelly and Chris attended Scranton Preparatory Schooland Villanova University. They went through similar graduate

school programs. However, since they were five years apartin age, they never met until friends introduced them years

later! Their first date was at Farley’s in Scranton; theyreturned to the site on their wedding day on October 15,2011 to take pictures. The date was carefully chosen tocoincide with the anniversary of the bride’s grandpar-ents (and to coordinate with an off-day on the NotreDame Football schedule)!

Kelly studied for many years with Ballet Theatre ofScranton and the Civic Ballet Company. In honor of her

love of classical ballet, her father walked her down theaisle of St. Ann’s Basilica in Scranton to Tchaikovsky’s,

“Nutcracker Pas de Deux.” The bride wore a Vera Wangdesign recreated by bridal designer, Carol Fanucci, who has

Suzanne and Christian were engaged on Christmas Eve 2009. They marriedJune 18, 2011 at St. Ann’s Basilica in Scranton.

The non-conventional bridal shower was a 1920s-style murder mystery-themed dinner party with a sweet ending– a candy buffet! The bride walked down the aisle in navy blue heels, adress from the Aire Barcelona Collection and a cathedral length veilstudded with rhinestones. Her bouquet, made of white peonies, her-itage roses and fiddle fern, was completed with an amulet given toher by her late grandmother.

Ready to ROCK?What to Know Before Buying anEngagement Ring

She’s dreamed abouther engagementring for years. To ful-

fill all of her diamond-ringdreams, he should brushup on the subject beforehe gets down on oneknee! Dennis Nye, co-owner of Nye Jewelers inDickson City, says it’s easyfor some to focus on thering’s setting while over-looking the sparking star ofthe piece– the diamond.With 37 years of experiencein the jewelry industry, Nyeshares some tips for choos-ing a diamond. TheInternational DiamondGrading System ratesstones based on the four Csof a stone so customers canunderstand what they’rebuying.

Seeking Sparkle? The first “C” stands for “cut,”which determines thesparkle, or brilliance of astone. Simply put, the morefacets, or number of flat sur-faces on the diamond, themore sparkle! According toNye, ideal cut diamonds arethe best cut. Ideal is a rounddiamond cut to exact pro-portions with mathemati-cally proven symmetry.“With 58 facets, it produces

the ultimate inluster andbeauty,”explains Nye.“All light thatenters into it iscompletelyreflectedthrough the top,which producesa nice displayof color.“

Color byLettersSince colortinting foundin most dia-monds is caused byimpurities, the less color,the higher the value. Eachdiamond is assigned a rat-ing from D to Z, with Dbeing white and Z beingyellow. Nye recommendsstaying near the highwhites by choosing a stonewith a rating between Dand J. These stones are col-orless or near colorless.“Theuntrained eye is incapableof making the color evalua-tions that can affect thevalue of a stone immense-ly,” he explains. At NyeJewelers, the color of eachdiamond is determined bycomparing it to our authen-ticated “master diamonds.”

Ready for a Close-Up!Because diamonds formdeep within the earthunder extreme heat andpressure, they often containunique birthmarks. Theseblemishes, called inclusions,range from those visible tothe eye to those seen underten-time magnification.They’re rated from flawlessto obvious inclusions. Mostdiamonds fall within the VS(very slightly included) or SI(slightly included) range.

equal to 0.2 grams, about the same weightas a paperclip. It takes an average of 250tons of ore to get one raw diamond. Onlyone in one million of those is one carat insize or greater. The value of a two-carat dia-mond is not simply double the value of aone-carat diamond. Because they are sorare, the larger the diamond, the moreexpensive. Also, two stones of equal weightcan vary widely in price because of qualitydifferences of the other “Cs.” Nye explains,“A smaller diamond may actually be morebeautiful than a larger stone with inferiorcut, clarity, color or presence.”

Other Expert TipsCertificate stones are stones graded andcertified by either the GemologicalInstitute of America or the EuropeanGemological Laboratory. Nye says manycustomers choose these diamonds, so theyare sure of what they’re getting. He recom-mends independently owned jewelers thathave a proven, established business. As alocally owned and operated jewelry store,

Fun Fact!The largest diamond ever found was the CullinanDiamond, discovered in South Africa in 1905.Weighing in at 3,106.75 carats, the stone was thencut into 106 diamonds of near flawless color andclarity. Some of those diamonds include The GreatStar of Africa,The Lesser Star of Africa and stonesfeatured in the British Crown Jewels.

Karl Kail describe theirrelationship. They met at acoffee shop in Del Mar, CAwhen they were 15. Whenshe moved across countryand then to Paris, they losttouch. When a high-schoolfriend reconnected the pairyears later,“sparks were fly-ing like they did when wewere 15,” says Angela. Shemoved from Los Angeles tobe with him in Montrose,PA. Theywere mar-ried on June9, 2012. Karlwrites, takesphotographsand sets histelescope onthe sky.Angela, whotraded herPrada for Carhartt, is writingher fifth novel and has achildren’s book hittingshelves this year. For thiscouple, the standard wed-ding rings just wouldn’t do.

They set out to custom-design their wedding jewel-ry to match their creativeflair. They went to WisnoskyJewelers in Tunkhannock, a

family-owned business thatspecializes in designing andcreating custom pieces.Mike and Jason Wisnosky,father andson jewelryexperts,helped theKailsdesign cus-tom ringsusing acomputer-aideddesign sys-tem, which

allowedthem to vir-

tually see thepieces they envisioned.

Angela’s ring holds 22blue, green and white dia-monds that are set in tworows and encircled in plat-inum. They chose thatnumber since Karl was bornon the 22nd. Green,Angela’s favorite color, andblue represent,“love fromthe ground to the sky.”To

honor Karl’sstar expert-ise, theyenvisioned acluster ofstars as thering. Theyasked JasonWisnosky toemulate around feel-ing insteadof using the

The last four years haveproven to be very diffi-cult for our national

and regional economy. Thecollapse of the housing mar-ket, high unemploymentand volatile fuel prices haveplaced tremendous strainon our area’s families, busi-nesses and municipalities.

Massive efforts have beenimplemented to reverse oureconomic slowdown. TheFederal Reserve committedto keep rates low, making itmore affordable for con-sumers and businesses toborrow money. The Federalgovernment implemented amajor stimulus package andextended unemploymentbenefits in an effort to stabi-lize consumer spending. Justas our economy begins toshow signs of improvement,concerns of the Europeanliquidity crisis spreading tothe United States have causedsome companies to pull backon their expansion plans.

Vital to economic develop-ment is a strong bankingnetwork. A bank’s role in stim-ulating economic activity isfelt in three important areas:

Providing Fundingfor Small Businesses“Small businesses are the pri-mary source of employmentin our region, and communitybanks are the primary sourceof funding for small business-es. Small companies are notnormally able to access thecapital markets through

investment banks. Theytypically go to commu-nity banks for commer-cial mortgages or linesof credit to fund busi-ness expansion orworking capital.

Banks are LargeEmployers in NEPAThe government’s FDIC andBureau of Labor Statistics’data indicates there are 17community banks headquar-tered in our region andanother 12 regional bankswith branch networks inNEPA. These banks employover 12,000residents in our region.These employees, as wellas the banks themselves,purchase the majority oftheir goods and servicesfrom our local economy.

There are four possiblesources of payment forcare provided to the resi-dent of a skilled nursingfacility.

1. Medicare will pay forroom and board andservices only if theresident is respond-ing to therapy and ifthe admission fol-lowed a hospitaliza-tion of at least threedays. Medicare paysfor the first 20 daysin full. After that, theresident pays a co-pay of $144.50 perday, which is usuallycovered by privatehealth insurance (Medicaresupplement). The maximumtime period Medicare willpay for is 100 days or oncethe patient’s conditionreaches a plateau. If apatient enters a nursinghome without a hospitaliza-tion within 30 days beforeadmission, Medicare willnot pay any bills.

2. Long-term care insur-ance will cover an extend-ed stay in a nursing home(unlike regular medicalinsurance).3. "Private pay" is paymentfrom the resident’s own

funds. Since the cost oflocal nursing homes is usu-ally between $6,000 and$7,500 per month, thisexpense has great impacton finances.

4. Medicaid pays for about65 percent of nursing homeresidents in PA. There arestrict financial eligibilityrules; only persons with lim-

ited resources qualify.Medicaid law includes alook-back period; transfers ofassets made five yearsbefore applying for Medicaidwill affect eligibility.However, the law also recog-

nizes asset protectionstrategies to help per-sons who are "over-resourced” to qualify,especially if the resi-dent has a spouse liv-ing in the community.Because Medicaid isunderfunded, theamount paid to a nurs-ing home each monthfor a Medicaid recipientis significantly less thanthe private pay rate.

The inadequacy of Medicaidpayments is creating finan-cial pressure on some nurs-ing homes and may affectquality of care.

Please Note: Medicaid eligibility

rules are complicated. Obtaining

advice from a knowledgeable and

qualified professional is recom-

mended.

6 REMODELING


HOME

Dottie Gentile fromthe LackawannaHome Builders

Associationgives adviceon projectsthat will addvalue to ahome.

KitchensRemodeling a kitchen isconsistently on the top ofthe list of home improve-ments that add value to ahome. Adding modernappliances and re-facing orreplacing cabinets will givea kitchen a more modernlook. Installing granite orquartz countertops add sig-nificant value to a remod-eled kitchen.

BathroomsAdding a spa tub, walk-inshower and appropriateflooring goes a long waytoward increasing a home’svalue. When renovating abathroom, look to thefuture and install safety fea-tures like easy-entry show-ers and grab bars.

Natural LightNatural light always makesa home bright and cheery.Consumers should look for

areas to add windowsor install patio doorsto allow natural light toflood a room. Considercombining a kitchen, diningand living area into onelarge living space.

FlooringFlooring, since is occupies agreat deal of squarefootage, adds value andvisual appeal to a home.Hardwood floors are trend-ing today. Ceramic tile is stilla popular choice, and thereare many new laminates onthe market.

Home OfficesWith more people telecom-muting, home offices areadding value to homes.Converting part of a den orkitchen or a spare bedroomis a great way to take careof business from home.

GarageHomes with at least a two-car garage are more appeal-ing to potential buyers.Experts note that having asmall, cluttered garage isalmost as bad as having nogarage at all. Considerinvesting in organizationalshelving and cupboards.

More Tips Take the time to choose theright contractor for theright job. Select a contractoryou are comfortable with–one who understands yourtastes and needs and withwhom you can communi-cate easily. Ask for proof ofinsurance and references.Consumers should also con-tact a local builders associa-tion for referrals. All homeimprovement contractorsmust display their officialregistration number on allcontracts, estimates, pro-posals and advertisementsdistributed within theCommonwealth.

Man’s best friend can find a homeaway from home at Preppy PetSuites, an animal boarding cen-

ter in Wilkes-Barre. Since 2008, ownerRuth Smith has opened the doors of PreppyPet to dogs, cats and other small animals. Inaddition to overnight accommodations,Preppy Pet offers day care services, groom-ing, spa treatments and more!

Out and AboutWith indoor and outdoor play areas, there isnever a dull moment for the furry guests atPreppy Pet.“If using our all-day group playoption, the dog is only in their kennel tosleep and eat,” Smith explains.“The rest ofthe time, they are in a play group withother dogs or outside on one of manywalks during the day.”

Good-natured dogs with all types of per-sonalities are welcome.“Happy, social dogsdo very well at Preppy Pet. They love thegroup play and have a great time. If a shy,timid dog comes in, we do our best tomake them feel comfortable; usually it onlytakes a day or two before they are runningaround, playing with the rest,” Smith says.

PET TALES

Small Dog,Big Attitude!Q: I have 6-year-oldYorkshire Terrier. She's veryaffectionate and cuddlywith me, but she nips atother people when theycome near me.When I'mnot around, she acts finewith others. What can I doto end this behavior?

A: This is a remarkably com-mon scenario. A study in"Applied Animal BehaviorScience Journal" reportssmall dogs aggress morethan large dogs, withDachshunds being the mostaggressive breed in theworld, followed byChihuahuas and Jack RussellTerriers. Small dog attacksare reported less frequentlythan large dog aggression,skewing public perceptions.Small dog aggression mustbe taken seriously andaddressed with timely andappropriate corrections.Forty percent of children bit-ten by dogs lose facial tis-sue– eyes, nose, lips.

Dogs of any size sometimesbite in pro-active defense, i.e.if I can persuade you to keepyour distance, I’ll feel lessanxious. Small dogs moreoften tend to be dispropor-tionately full of chutzpah,especially Terriers, with bat-

tle toughness bred in.That pugilistic attitudeneeds socialization anddirection from puppy-hood, with ample prop-erly managed and con-trolled interactionswith a variety of peo-ple and situations.

Your dog’s correct behaviorwithout your presencespeaks well for her poten-tial for remediation. Thedog is now 6-years-old; ini-tial warning signs may havebeen mistakenly interpret-ed as “protecting” you oreven thought cute.Behavior that has been tol-erated this long won’t beextinguished overnight, butpersistence wins out.

Avoid reinforcing inappro-priate behaviors. If this hap-pens when you’re holdingthe dog or when she’s inyour lap or sitting on thefurniture next to you, stop!Since we can’t know thedog’s emotions, refrain fromany action that could beconstrued as approval orreinforcement. Dogs arepack animals; pack unitybolsters any feelings ofdominance, territoriality,or fear aggression thedog may have. Establish

your role as pack leader. Feedher after the family haseaten. Ban her from the din-ing room. Forgo furnitureprivileges, and do not pickthe dog up, especially in thepresence of other people ordogs. Don’t talk to her exceptto issue commands andpraise obedience, assumingthe dog will reliably respond.Bestow affection or attentiononly when earned. No pet-ting, food, play or verbal affir-mation without obediencefirst. These are not bribes,these are rewards for compli-ance to your commands, forrespect for your authority.

Dogs want a confident, firmleader, and if you comportyourself as such, the dog willtrust you to handle all situa-tions. Use “down/stay” tohelp her control her emo-tions. This is the most sub-missive position and willreinforce her lowly pack sta-tus relative to humans.

FOOD

Locally grown vegetables are somuch better than those thathave been sitting in storage asthey ship across the country.Locally grown vegetables holdmore nutrients. The reason forthis is simple, they aren’t as old.As soon as produce is harvestedit begins the decline of its life

and nutritional value. While each item degrades atdifferent rates (ex. mushrooms 3–5 days, apples 6-9months) it is inevitable that the process will beginafter harvest.

Fresh is best! Buy local, and contribute to your localeconomy.You will probably save money, and you willeat healthier in the process.

GreenBeanSalad

1 lb. green beans; snip the ends; cook in boiling salted water for two minutes; cool.1/4 cup sliced red onion1 oz. Italian dressing1 T. bacon bits (optional)Toss ingredients in a bowl; serve on platter.

Treasure Map to Freshness

It’s easy to spot big box stores, but now there is a way tofind farmers’ markets, farm stands and community gar-dens just as easily! The 2012 Shop Local Save Land Guide

points people towards places that sell locally grown edible treas-ures. Published by the Delaware Highlands Conservancy, theguide was conceived as an economic development programfocused on the intimate connection between sustainableeconomies and healthy land and clean water.

The 22-page guide maps out farms in Wayne, Pike andMonroe Counties in PA and Sullivan County in NY. It features120 vendors that grow or produce products locally.

The homes and estates along theSchuylkill River in MontgomeryCounty bore witness to some of the

most tumultuous times in American histo-ry. They remain today as a link to the nation’searly days and the people who made history.

Historic Homes of Valley Forge, PA

Pottsgrove ManorJohn Potts amassed a fortune forging iron.The ultimate show of his wealth was the pur-chase of 1,000 acres on which he built animpressive Georgian mansion and workingplantation. Tours of the restored 18th centuryestate are given daily offering a glimpse ofthe elegant interior and fine furnishings.100West King St., Pottstown.

Pennypacker MillsThe stately mansion was home to eight gen-erations including Governor Samuel W.Pennypacker. The Colonial Revival home,which was built in 1720, also hosted GeneralGeorge Washington in 1777. Today the homeand 170 acres of surrounding farmland areopen for tours. About 95 percent of the fur-nishings and implements are original to themansion. Included in the former governor’scollection are 50,000 antiques and 30,000manuscripts including letters and orders writ-ten by General Washington. 5 Haldeman Rd.,Schwenksville.

The Highlands Mansion & GardensBetween 1796 and 1970 only three fam-ilies have called this late Georgian stylemansion home. Wealthy politician andmerchant Anthony Morris built thecountry estate to flee the yellow feverepidemic sweeping Philadelphia. Thestately home sits on a hill overlookingthe 44-acre property, which features abeautiful walled garden. Tours areoffered weekdays at 1:30 p.m. andinclude the nine remaining outbuildingssuch as a stone bank barn and GothicRevival gardener’s cottage. 7001 SheaffLane, Fort Washington.

Hope LodgeEdmund Woolley, famed designer ofIndependence Hall, is said to have con-sulted on the 1741 construction of theearly Georgian-style house. It was hometo Samuel Morris, a prosperous Quakerentrepreneur who made his fortune as afarmer, ship owner, miller, iron masterand shop owner. After the Battle ofGermantown, the mansion served as ahospital and headquarters for SurgeonGeneral John Cochran. During the falland winter of 1778 and 1778, Colonialtroops encamped in the field surround-ing the lodge. Tours may be scheduledthrough the Friends of Hope Lodge. 553S. Bethlehem Pike, Fort Washington. 215-646-1595.

John James Audubon Center at Mill GroveHis name is synonymous with birding,and it was at his family’s estate alongthe Schuylkill River that the then 18-

Peter Wentz FarmsteadThe promise of religious free-dom drew the GermanProtestant Wentz family to theoutskirts of Philadelphia in themid-1700s. Construction on theirGeorgian-style stone farmhousewas completed in 1758. Duringthe Battle of Germantown, theproperty served as GeneralWashington’s headquarters.Today the home has beenrestored to its Revolutionary Warera appearance.

Museum Village, Monroe, NY

On a short trip toMonroe, NY youcan travel 150

years back in time. The 28-acre property is a re-creationof a typical 19th centuryAmerican village. Visitorsmay stroll the grounds andtour 18 buildings vital to thelife of an early settler.

Places such as the GeneralStore, Drug Store, WagonShop, Blacksmith Shop andSchoolhouse once teemedwith activity. Today theyhouse a collection of arti-facts from the country’sformative days. As you stepin and out of the bustlingvillage on a self-guided tour,you will encounter docentsin period costume who

interpret the buildings andthe artifacts inside. All butone of the buildings is areplica of an actual site inOrange County, NY. The LogCabin dates to the late1700s and was moved tothe property in the 1940sfrom nearby West PointMilitary Academy. Insidethe Natural History Buildingvisitors may see the Village’soldest exhibit– a 10,000year-old Mastodon skele-ton. The prehistoric skele-ton was uncovered in 1952in nearby Harriman, NY. It isone of only three of themost complete Mastodonskeletons in the world. TheAmerican Museum ofNatural History re-assem-bled the remains and com-

pleted preservation beforeit was moved to its perma-nent home in MuseumVillage in 1955.

Museum Village was a giftto the community fromentrepreneur and philan-thropist Roscoe WilliamSmith. The Orange Co., NYnative earned his wealthwith the founding of theOrange and RocklandElectric Company. His for-tune allowed him toindulge his passion inAmerican history. Smithspent years collecting bitsof Americana. He amassed atreasure trove of textiles,porcelain, horse-drawn car-riages and especially craft





tools and mechanical inven-tions. He opened MuseumVillage in 1950 to share hisartifacts with the public andeducate visitors on a van-ishing way of American life.

Special events throughoutthe year seek to furtherRoscoe Smith’s mission.One of the most popular,the Civil War Re-enact-ment (September 1-2)draws hundreds of livinghistorians to re-createscenes from one of thebloodiest conflicts inAmerican history.“The men,women and children whoparticipate, don authenticdress, adopt a Victorianview of society and War andtake great pride in theirrepresentation and portray-al of historic regiments andnotable and anonymouspersonages,” explainsGeneral Manager MichaelSosler. During the weekend,troops demonstrate Federaland Confederate infantry,artillery and cavalry units.Medical and civilian person-nel will also be represented.Sosler encourages visitorsto,“ask questions about thesoldiers’ uniforms, weapons,accoutrements and historyof the unit.” He also saysSutler’s Row will provide areplica of the civilian mer-chants who were author-ized to follow the Army tosupply foodstuffs, clothing,sundries and small luxuryitems to the soldiers.www.museumvillage.org

Dutchess Co, NY

Poughkeepsie’s story is much like that of thenation. Its earliest days trace back to settlementin 1687. The village along the Hudson grew from an

agricultural center to an industrial hub. Today its historyand development are apparent in the architectural gemsfound on a self-guided driving tour.

FDR Mid-Hudson Bridge (above)When it opened in 1930, the steel suspension bridgemarked the end of the ferry system and the beginning ofthe New York State Bridge Authority.

Poughkeepsie Railroad StationIt was built in 1918 and modeled after New York’s GrandCentral Station. For years the impressive building was dor-mant, but after careful restoration it re-opened as a thriv-ing Amtrak and Metro Station.

Vassar College Affluent Poughkeepsie brewer Matthew Vassar opened theelite school in the 1850s. Many noteworthy buildings dotthe campus including the 1932 Belle Skinner Hall of Music,the chapel featuring Tiffany Stained Glass and the FrancesLehman Loeb Art Center.

Locust GroveThe former home of Samuel Morse, inventor of the tele-graph, has been open to the public for tours since 1975.The 1847 mansion is modeled after a Tuscan Villa and isalso known for its expansive gardens.

Head. Heart. Hands.Health. The four Hsof 4-H are more

than just a catchy allitera-tion. For 100 years, 4-H hasbeen growing families andcommunities through prac-tical and fun hands-onlearning. Now boasting sixmillion participants aroundthe country and more than60 million alumni, “learn bydoing” captures the organi-zation’s national mission.

“4-H provides opportunitiesfor youth to develop careerskills like team work, deci-

sion making, problem solv-ing, critical thinking andgoal setting,” explainsChristy Bartley, 4-H exten-sion program leader.“Learning is fun as mem-bers are challenged to solveproblems and learnthrough hands-on activi-ties.”

In the late 1800s, farmingcommunity members real-ized a serious lack of con-nection between publicschool education and coun-try life. Clark County, Ohio,held the first youth pro-

gram called “The TomatoClub” or the “Corn GrowingClub.” Since its birth in1902, 4-H has expanded itsagriculture focus toinclude technology, film-making, robotics, photog-raphy and communicationarts.

Special celebrations willtake place at 4-H StateAchievement Days and incounties across the state.

100 Years of Golfat the Inn at Pocono Manor

In 1911, plans for anine-hole golf courseat the Inn at Pocono

Manor were put intoplace. From his home inPinehurst, NC, Donald Rossused topographical maps tolay out nine holes with thehelp of local associate, J.B.McGovern. Ross used theexisting landscape to devel-op the course. In 1912, thefirst nine holes opened forplay. William Flynn, designerof 11 courses on Golfweek’slist of the top 100 classic-era courses, completeddrawings for 10 additionalholes in 1920. Flynn placeda strong importance oneach hole having individualcharacter. In 1924, Flynn’sholes were completed, aproject that was overseenby Pocono Manorgreenskeeper EdwinHoopes.

LeadershipIn 1925, Jack Cuttle beganhis 50-year career as headprofessional at PoconoManor. For him, it was alifestyle, residing from May

until November in an apart-ment above a garage nextto the golf shop. He wasresponsible for teachinglessons and overseeingcourse conditioning, as wellas making clubs and sellingequipment. In the early1930s, Pocono Manoropened a caddie camp. Acaddie master oversaw sev-eral men for the season andtrained them in bag-carry-ing etiquette. In 1946, thefirst golf cart was used atPocono Manor.

Growing AgainGeorge Fazio cleared andbuilt a new set of nine holesknown as the West coursein 1959. The cost of clearingthe land was so expensivethat the second nine holeswere not built until 1961,when construction beganon Interstate 380 adjacentto Pocono Manor. In returnfor using a quarry on theproperty, the road buildercleared land for the secondnine holes of the Westcourse. In 1965, the secondnine holes opened.

Making HistoryMany well-known nameshave been on PoconoManor’s course. In 1968,Arnold Palmer played amatch against Art Wall Jr.on the East Course. In1975, Jack Cuttle retired,and Ted Johnson becomethe head professional atPocono Manor. In 1977, thePocono Northeast Classic,an LPGA Tour event, tookplace on the West course.Debbie Austin won theevent by one stroke overSandra Post. In 1984, GregWall become head profes-sional at Pocono Manor. Forthree years, Wall coordinat-ed pro-am events on theEast course. Participantsincluded his father Art WallJr. and several major cham-pions including RobertoDeVicenzo, Orville Moody,Gene Littler, Charles Coody,Jerry Barber and Doug Ford.

O u t l o o kArts & Cultural

oanne Arduino hasbeen the ArtisticDirector of BalletTheatre of Scranton

since 1991 and owner ofThe Dance Studio inScranton since 1978.A producer, director, chore-ographer and formerdancer, she receivedcertificates from theRoyal Academy of Dancingin London, England and hasstudied and choreographednationally and internation-ally. Arduino was mentoredby the late ConstanceReynolds, who foundedBallet Theatre of Scrantonin 1958.

Ballet Theatre of Scranton(BTOS) is a non-profit organi-zation founded to providequality dance education. Itgives dancers the opportuni-ty to work with nationallyand internationally knownchoreographers, artists andtheater experts. Arduinodirects the children, appren-tice and senior companies atBTOS and produces six pro-ductions (12 performances)yearly. Many BTOS studentshave gone on to professionalcareers in dance and musicaltheater.

In its 37th year, BTOS pro-duces the annual holidaygift of The Nutcracker, in

conjunction with MarywoodUniversity, seen by 350,000people to date. The DanceStudio is the official schoolof BTOS. Arduino serves onthe PA Council on the Artsroster, many local boardsand on arts in educationpanels. She has partneredwith a multitude of area artsorganizations and has creat-ed various programs forregional educational institu-tions. She is the performingarts chair of the Arts Aliveinstitute.

Happenings Magazineinterviewed Arduino to gether insight about arts inNortheast PA.

What is Northeast PA’sgreatest asset?The people! The warm hos-pitality is quickly recognizedfrom anyone visiting thisfriendly city. Many visitingartists and theater profes-sionals come back each yearto work with BTOS becauseof the kindnesses extendedto them by the people of theregion.

What is Northeast PA’sgreatest weakness? Those who believe there isnothing to do in the area.Northeast PA has a wealth ofperformances, concerts andfestivals throughout the

year. Sometimes, there are somany opportunities availableat one time, I cannot attendeverything that I would like!Northeast PA also has awealth of talent; many resi-dents have gone on to verysuccessful and notable pro-fessional careers. You neednot travel to larger metropol-itan areas to be treated tohigh caliber performances.

Why do you choose to dobusiness downtown? I strongly feel that the down-town is the hub of the cultur-al, business and social com-munity. BTOS had torelocate in the ‘90s dueto the implosion onLackawanna Avenue. I feltstrongly that BTOS remain inthe heart of the downtown.Our business has been indowntown Scranton for54 years.

Why do you feel it is impor-tant for businesses to workwith the community?Partnerships are extremelyimportant. With arts fundingcut, partnerships are benefi-cial to all organizations forgrant opportunities.BTOS partners with manycommunity organizationsincluding the Scranton AreaJaycees, NEPA Philharmonic,NEIU #19, Broadway Theatreof NEPA, Marywood

Have you observed aresurgence in thearts regionally? Arts expose the generalpublic, especially ouryoung people, to variousforms at a reasonablecost. I am proud to havebeen part of the planningand a participant in theoriginal First Night eventin Scranton, the Arts onFire Festival and Dancingwith the NEPA stars at theScranton Cultural Center.Regional residencies bythe PA Council on theArts and NEIU #19 areimpacting many commu-nity hospitals, childrenand youth services andschool districts.

Why is arts education soimportant? The arts are at the core ofany culture. It is ourresponsibility to educateand expose our youngpeople to all of the arts...poetry, theater, music,dance and visual arts. Ithelps develop an aesthet-ic awareness, criticalthinking skills, problemsolving and an

understanding ofsociety through generations.We are never tooold to learn or experiencethe arts.

Why is participationin the arts so vital?Self-expression is key. Thearts teach life lessonsin so many ways, such asworking together and beingresponsible. Being a memberof an ensemble and grasp-ing the larger picture areimportant aspects of beingpart of a production. The per-former attends months ofrehearsals, thus developingpersonal responsibility anddedication. They knowthat each role, no matterhow large or how small,is important.

Why should people attendlive performances? From my perspective in theperforming arts, there isnothing that compares toattending a live performance.The exhilaration and emo-tions that transcend from thestage may consume you asan audience member. Eachperformance is completelydifferent as a direct result ofthe energy of the audienceand performers.

What do you think wouldhappen to society, if thearts were removed? Picture our world as dull,

Digital-Age EducationMeet Successful Students at Pennsylvania Cyber Charter

On a typical day,Michaela Madeirawakes up and goes

to school like any other14-year-old girl. However,Madeira goes to school bylogging on to the computerin her own home. She fin-ishes her work in time forlunch.

Pace YourselfMadeira is a student of thePennsylvania Cyber CharterSchool, which operatesunder the PennsylvaniaDepartment of Education.She receives a state-approved education fromteachers online.“I think it’sgreat,” she says.“I am a self-paced student. I like to workahead and get things doneas quickly as possible!” FredMiller, communication coor-dinator at PA Cyber, saysstudents either work attheir own pace or attendclass in a virtual classroom.Unlike homeschooling, alllearning is led by state-cer-tified teachers who gothrough an extensive train-ing program. PA Cyber istuition-free and offers stu-dents 250 online courses,including advanced cours-es.

The Cyber Student“Students who are self-

motivated, independentlearners do well,” Miller con-tinues. Students who areshy or bullied often thriveat PA Cyber. The school isalso a good fit for studentswho are pursuing goals insports or the arts and havedemanding training sched-ules. Joel Pompella chose tobecome a PA Cyber studentbecause of the flexiblescheduling. Instead ofcatching the bus for schooleach morning, he heads towork at his family’s busi-ness, Sunny Knoll Stables, inDrums, PA. On a typicalschool day, Pompella helpshis mother, Dawn, everymorning and afternoonwith riding lessons, animalfeedings and other jobs atSunny Knoll. He attendsclass in a virtual classroomaround midday. Pompellaattended a traditional pub-lic elementary schoolbefore enrolling at PA Cyber

in fifth grade. Since makingthe transition to onlinelearning, he has noticed adifference in his education.“I do feel PA Cyber is a hard-er curriculum,” he says.“Itmakes you think more; itgives you a little bit more ofa challenge.”

Staying ConnectedLike all PA Cyber students,Madeira regularly commu-nicates with herInstructional Supervisor, astate-certified teacher whoserves as a student advisor.Madiera’s mother, Melanie,says this good communica-tion and individualizedattention was an importantfactor in choosing PA Cyber,explaining,“They strive tohave each instructionalsupervisor zero in on thekids’ educational needs."

Tips On CuttingCollege CostsTake Advanced Placement exams. Highschool students can often earn collegecredit by taking Advanced Placement tests.The majority of four-year colleges in theU.S. will count them toward your requiredcredits. Taking such tests may enable a stu-dent to save as much as a semester of class-es and save on tuition and room and boardas well.

Select a school close to home. Attendingan in-state public college can be lessexpensive than attending a private or out-of-state public school.

Rent textbooks. Rent books through aservice such as chegg.com orbookrenter.com, which claims to offer stu-dents savings of up to 80 percent. Someservices will ship books anywhere in thecountry with free return shipping.
