Suicide Walk at Wallenpaupack School Sept. 10

Wayne/Pike Counties’ Sui-cide Awareness Committee will partner with the North-east Suicide Prevention Ini-tiative (NSPI) to hold its first suicide prevention, awareness, and remembrance walk, Share the Journey, on Saturday, Sep-tember 10th at Wallenpaupack High School. The program will start at 10:00 am with speak-ers, poems, basket raffle, and a Memory Wall as it brings together families, co-workers, neighbors, and students who have been affected by this ter-rible tragedy of a suicide. An event such as the Walk offers the opportunity for mutual support and recovery from the horrific grief of suicide. It is a pet friendly event and children are also encouraged to attend. The focus of the Walk will be to honor loved ones lost to sui-cide by reflecting on their lives, not on the way they left us.

This is the only Walk that raises funds that stay in Wayne/Pike Counties and will be used only for pro-grams such as training com-munity clinicians and teach-ers on suicide assessment and management skills, as well as providing free education and resources for the community. You can register prior to the Walk at www.northeastsui-cidepreventioninitiative.org or on the day of the Walk. There is no registration cost for this Walk, but donations are great-ly appreciated.

The Northeast Suicide Pre-vention Initiative is a nonprofit organization comprised of all volunteers, no paid staff, whose mission is to prevent suicides in your communities by advocacy, collaboration, and education. As a committed grassroots organization our mandate is to keep current on suicide prevention education and information and train as many community members as possible to identify and re-spond to someone who may be at risk for suicide.

For more information con-tact either Kathy Wallace at 570-575-2343 or at nspiinfor-mation@gmail.com or Michelle Valinski at 570-253-9200 or at mvalinski@wayncountypa.gov

Heat and humidity fueled a scorching hot 4-H Livestock Sale at the Wayne County Fairgrounds on Saturday, August 13. This re-sulted in another record sale that tallied $367,160.88 by the time the sun went down and the sawdust settled. The annual Wayne County 4-H Livestock Sale saw 369 mar-ket steers, hogs, lambs and goats cross the auction block; the resale of 73 “buy-backs” insured schol-arships for the coming year, with $22,986.60 jump starting next year’s fund.

Recently retired Penn State Ex-tension Educator Ed Pruss was honored for his 30+ years of service to youth and agriculture in the county. Referred to by emcee Dr. Henry Nebzydoski as “the ency-clopedia of agriculture for Wayne County,” among numerous ac-complishments, Ed led livestock and dairy judging teams, taught tractor driving safety courses, caponized chickens, conducted numerous 4-H round-ups, and always worked for the good of youth. Also remembered were 4-H leader Barbara Brown and Bob Olver, a familiar face at dairy shows, both who passed since last year’s Fair and Sale. Mrs. Brown’s 4-H Club, Tri-Gal, presented a check in her memory to the Schol-arsh. ip Fund

Fifteen 4-H Livestock Schol-arship recipients who will seek higher education or enter agribusi-ness in the coming year were intro-duced to the crowd. Scholarships in the amount of $2,000 each were awarded to Bethany Bateman, Angelo Carachilo, Garrett Chellis, Seth Curtis, Molly Franc, Justine Henning, Ashley Kneier, Garth LaBar, Brittany Loscig, Carley Rief-ler, Laura Sheard, Eddie Strada, Brooke Vennie, Shelby Weber, and Noah Worobey. The scholarship program became a part of the Ju-nior Livestock Sale in 1998, and, since that time 293 scholarships have been given to qualified ap-plicants. Scholarship funds have grown in past years, mainly as a result of “buy backs,” when ani-mals are purchased at the auction, then donated back for resale to benefit the scholarship fund. Direct donations to memorialize a death or milestone occasion are also a means of adding to the Scholarship Fund. Contributions and memori-als can be directed to the Wayne County Junior 4-H Livestock Sale in care of Rosalind Williams, Sec-retary and Scholarship Fund Man-ager, 409 Stock Farm Road, Lake Ariel, PA, 18436.
