    Old man winter has finallyloosened his grip on northeastPennsylvania and now localfamilies with school-aged chil-dren are starting to plan summervacations.

    One group dedicated to thepromotion and preservation ofthe outdoors is hoping that lo-cal families will suggest their in-augural camp to their teenagers.

    The Keystone College/TroutUnlimited Teens ConservationCamp is a collaborative effortbetween Keystone College inLaPlume and the LackawannaValley Chapter of Trout Un-limited, which comprises all ofLackawanna, Susquehanna andWayne counties, as well as halfof Wyoming County. The campwill be held from Sunday, June14, through Saturday, June 20and is open to teens ages 14-17.

    Weve been trying to put acamp like this together for 11years, said camp founder andco-director Charles Charles-worth. This is the first yearweve finally been able to getit together. While it is open toanyone in the country, our veryfirst registration applicationcame from Roanoke, Virginia,and our second is from someone

    from Williamsport. Were hop-ing that students from northeastPennsylvania apply as well.

    Charlesworth said that un-like run-of-the-mill summercamps, this one will give thestudents the chance to learnhow to fly fish as well as learnabout earth and environmentalsciences and how a love for theoutdoors can lead to a future ca-reer.

    The thing that satisfies usthe most is that every instructorwill discuss with the class howhe or she made his or her careerchoice, he said. The studentswill learn just how many careersare available in the outdoorsand the environment.

    Registration for the camp is$275 and includes meals, ma-terials, study guides and theuse of loaner equipment. Stu-dents are permitted to bringtheir own fishing equipmentbut neither Trout Unlimitednor Keystone College will beresponsible for it. Students canapply for the camp throughtheir local Trout Unlimitedchapter and scholarships areavailable.

    For more information on thecamp, visit tu.org or contactCharlesworth at 570-954-5042or email him at [email protected].

    by Dave LaurihaTRIBORO BANNER WRITER

    With a week-long scholarship to aUnitedStates Tennis Association training camp lastsummer, Riverside junior Andrew Sheridanhoped tomake great strides on the courts thisspring in the Lackawanna League.

    But there is no answer for a tennis playerhaving a broken bone in his hand and while his game has risen a bit resultingimprovement has been much slower thanSheridan wanted.

    Still, he got enough help at the ChiricoCohen Nike Tournament Training TennisCamp at Chestnut Hill College, outside ofPhiladelphia, to see his game get better overthe past year.

    Hes made a huge improvement from lastseason to this season, Vikings tennis coachRobert Thomas said. Thats due to his ownhard work, private lessons, indoor play in thewinter, all the things you need to do to besuccessful in high school tennis.

    Sheridan took the next step on his ownlast summer by submitting an essay thatearned him a scholarship to the ChiricoCohen camp, where he got five-and-a-halfhours of tennis instruction a day, to trainwith and play against a wide variety of stylesunder tournament conditions.

    I got the scholarship when a coach gavea recommendation for me and thats how Igot it. I applied to the USTA, to that camp,Sheridan said.

    He learned one big thing at the camp.There are always people who are better

    than you out there, Sheridan said. Sheri-dan hoped the list of those types of playerswould be shorter after his week at the train-ing camp, but his injury caused him to miss afew matches and left him itching to return.Thomas knows the best of Sheridan is yet tocome this season.

    Hes coming back off an injury. Heplayed a match or two, and then was outthe next four with a broken finger, Thom-as said. Hes made a quick recovery andhes back. Since hes back, he won againstWest Scranton.

    That has shown that Sheridan has somemental toughness and grit, being able to play

    with wrap on his hand.Hes playing through some pain, hes

    playing with a taped-up hand, Thomas said.Hes struggling with it, but hes still doingvery well

    Hes not a complainer. You wouldntknow he has the injury. He goes out thereand gives it his all.

    That turned out to be plenty enough onApril 15 when he rolled to a straight-set vic-tory over West Scrantons Kamani Martinwithout the loss of a game.

    I was more consistent that day, and gotmore of my shots in, Sheridan said. I wasgetting my first serve in more.

    Unfortunately for Sheridan, he was un-able to keep any momentum going as hefell the next two days to Abington HeightsRishi Mulloth and Scranton Preps Peter Ka-zmierczak in straight sets.

    I didnt do that well score-wise, butwhen I was out on the court, I had a lot ofgood games, Sheridan said. A lot of myshots were going in, but I couldnt win manygames.

    He finds himself in chase mode at times,and the top players like Kazmierczak andMulloth can take advantage of their skills tokeep the Vikings junior on the run.

    [Im] getting out of position. Picking offwide and leaving the rest of the court open,Sheridan said. [I have to work on my] Foot-work, try not to give them short balls.

    As he looks ahead, he cant wait for nextmonthsDistrict 2ClassAAChampionships,knowing it can go a ways toward making upfor the disappointment of his injury-marredjunior season.

    I want to finish strong and make a run atdistricts, Sheridan said. The past two yearsIve been able to get into the second round,and then unfortunately thats when I comeup against a seeded player.

    Still, there is something to be said forwinning in the areas biggest individualevent for high school tennis, and for Sheri-dan, if his hands stay healthy, he may havethe chance to shine and show how goodhe really is. Maybe even good enough toknock off a seeded player in his third dis-trict tournament.

    Spring Homeand Garden

    Make an enlightened decisionEvery room in the house has its own lighting requiremeeents. However, there a

    few general rules about home lighting that can help you ggguarantee a warm andwelcoming living space.

    The experts recommend two types of lighting in a room... First, there is generallighting, which comes from a ceiling light or a halogen lammmp. This kind of sourcesends a rather flat and bright light into the entire room.

    Second, there is supplementary lighting. This kind of liggghting provides a moreintimate and cozy atmosphere or highlights specific features in the room. Exampleswould be a table lamp in the hall or a pedestal lamp at the eeend of a sofa. This typeof lighting is also used for kitchen countertops, workstationsss, or as a spotlight on apainting. For the latter purpose, table lamps and wall sconceees can help you achievethe desired result.

    In the kitchen, it is essential to have plenty of light in the sink and cookingareas. Here, recessed halogen lights with wide coverage areee entirely appropriate.A pendant light fitting equipped with a dimmer for over thhhe dining room table isperfect for either a family meal or a romantic supper for twooo. Be sure to install it atthe correct height so that no one is dazzled when they look uuup.

    Ten Ways to

    RejuvenateYour Home

    Does the outside of your home look alittle tired and worn out?Here are some really simple tips thatwill help you give your home a wholenew look.

    1. Paint your front door a bright color.Nothing is more eye-catching and inviting.

    4. Give your street number a more up-to-date look. Goneare the days of those ugly metallic stickers on the mailbox.

    5. If your house has wooden shutters or moldingsaround the windows, theres a good chance thepaint is peeling. Get out the paintbrushes and thinkabout using this opportunity to change the color.

    6. Clean your gutters and replace them if necessary.

    7. Buy a new door mat to add style to your home.

    8. Replace an old doorstep. In addition to being visuallyunattractive, dilapidated doorsteps can causeinsulation problems.

    9. Clean! Use a pressure washer to clean the sidingand then wash your windows.

    10. Be creative with your decorative lighting. Put up somelanterns, strings of mini-lights (clear Christmas lights)or recessed lights under the steps. Youll be the envyof the neighborhood.

    Youll be amazed at how easy it can be to improve the appearance of your home.Who knows, maybe your efforts will inspire your neighbors!

    2011,,, 2012,,, 2013,,, 2014 & 2015! Your patio and yard sparkle in thesummer sun, but what about when itsdark? Well-planned lighting is essentialfor the enjoyment and appreciation of

    any outdoor space.

    FOR SAFETYOutdoor lighting is still important, even aftereveryone has gone to bed. One of the best waysto protect your property against intruders is tohhhave a clear view offf your yard at all times. A motion-detector spotlight is a great optionand only uses electricity when required. That way, youuu can sleep with peace of mmmindwithout wasting energy.

    FFFOOORRR PPPRRRAAACCCTTTIIICCCAAALLLIIITTTYYYWhen it comes time to plan the lighting for outdoor aaareas, think about how you uuusethese places once the sun goes down. This will enableee you to choose the best locccationfor the one or two main lights that will illuminate youuur evening activities. The keyyy is toensure good visibility for your activities without spoiliiing the magic of the eveninggg withtoo much bright light.

    FOR THE LOOKAdding extra lights can bring new life to your outdoorrr decor. Be creative: garlanddds oflanterns add sparkle to deck railings, and a bundle of little Christmas-type lights iiin anempty Mason jar or wine bottle create a striking tableee centerpiece. Its easy to creeeatea magical atmosphere for your evenings under the staaars with a little imagination aaandsome objects you already have on hand.

    TheABCs ofpaving

    From the driveway to the area around the backyardpool, different types of paving abound. For anoverview of the most decorative to the supremelyfunctional, read on to discover what sort of pavingis best for your project.

    Asphalt. Asphalt, the traditional material fordriveways, has proven its worth as far as durabilityis concerned. It continues to be popular because ofits relatively low cost, and if you think it only comesin black, think again.

    Concrete. This material has a modern look and isextremely versatile; you can cut it into slabs andcustomize the surface. Concrete can also bearheavier loads than asphalt, although its porousnessmeans it needs to have a coat of sealer appliedfrom time to time.

    Slate. This ultra-trendy stone is waterproof and frostresistant, in addition to having a highly sought-afterlook. Like concrete, it requires regular maintenancewith a sealer.

    Limestone. Popular for pool surrounds because of itsanti-slip properties, these large-hewn stones are alsoa frequent choice for decorative steps and paths.

    Travertine. Theres no doubt that travertine is durable.After all, Romes ancient coliseum was almost entirelybuilt with this stone. Its an elegant choice that keepsits color well over the years.

    Brick. In addition to being the best environmentalchoice, brick offers a timeless look and requires littlemaintenance.

    Sandstone. Like limestone, sandstone is slip resistant.Its very durable and economical and is available in awide range of styles.

    Dont hesitate to consult a specialist before comingto a decision. After all, your investment could last fordecades if you do it right.

    PC : Choosing the right paving materials can addinstant character to your yard.
