LECREATION & EISURE
For 47 years, Chuck Wallace has studied, practiced and taught IsshinryuKarate here in Western Pennsylvania. He holds the rank of 8th degree black beltwith the designation of “Master Instructor” through the Isshinryu World KarateAssociation, headquartered in Okinawa, Japan. For the past 2 years, Chuckhas taught Isshinryu Karate on Monday evenings at the Bethel Park CommunityCenter.“Classes are consistently well attended and I receive a great deal of positive
feedback from my students and their parents. Although students of all ages arewelcome to enroll including parents and their children, most of the students arein the 6-12 age category,” said Chuck.
“Even though I love teaching Isshinryu Karate to all ages, I especially findteaching the younger students most gratifying. I believe this is because as achild of 10 in 1950, I was stricken with spino-bulbar polio. I was one of a fortunatefew since I ultimately made a full recovery, though it took many years. At age23, I began to study Isshinryu at a karate school in the South Hills underIsshinryu’s founder Tatsuo Shimabuku of Okinawa. For me, Isshinryu was aperfect fit and it soon became my life’s passion. I have trained continuously overthe years and I feel that my skills, my knowledge and my enthusiasm continueto grow.“At an age when many martial artists are content to hang up their black belts
and reflect on past glories, I welcome the journey that I am making into “old age”with Isshinryu as my ever present companion. Furthermore, as I observe myyoung students getting a good foundation in a martial art that I, at their age, couldnot have learned due to my physical limitations, I feel a sense of satisfaction andfulfillment as if I have come ‘full circle‘,” he added.
Beginner and Intermediate Karate classes for ages 6 to adult, are heldMonday evenings at the Bethel Park Community Center. Sessions are 6weeks of 45 minute classes beginning March 7 and April 18. Each class willinclude warm-up exercises, basics of the style, as well as simple and practicalself-defense techniques. Classes will also emphasize self-discipline and respect.Students will learn self-defense skills as well as a sense of accomplishment.More information can be found on pages 19 and 26 in this issue of Chronicles.

PRIDE News:Once again, PRIDE of Bethel Park has had a busy couple of months. The schooldistrict work stoppage presented us with additional time to be available to assistwith community service projects.
Veterans Day Breakfast – PRIDE assisted the Friends of Danang at their 12thannual Veterans Day breakfast held at the Marriott City Center hotel in downtownPittsburgh. Over 500 veterans from the area attended this event. After we weredone with breakfast we walked over to the CONSOLEnergy Center and the teammembers were able to see the interactive exhibits and the Mario Lemieuxfoundation mural. Then we spent the rest of the day at the Carnegie ScienceCenter Sportsworks.
Senior Citizens’ Thanksgiving Lunch – PRIDE assisted Bethel Park Recreationwith their annual Thanksgiving luncheon. The team members assisted withseating the attendees, serving and cleaning up after the luncheon.
South Hills Interfaith Ministries – When PRIDE found out that SHIM had a needfor holiday gifts this year for their Angel Emporium, we did a collection among ourteam members for gifts. When we went to deliver the gifts, we asked SHIM’sprogram director if they needed any additional holiday help. She told us that SHIMneeded help with a delivery being made to their food pantry in Prospect Park bythe Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank. We went there and helped unload over 4000pounds of food from the pallets to stock the food pantry. The food pantry wasvisited by over 160 families to obtain their holiday food.
NAMS Jam and Battle of the Bands – Again, at both of these events, PRIDEheld their concession stands. Also at NAMS Jam, we collected hats and glovesfor Washington City Mission.
Holiday Time – PRIDE had their holiday party with a gift exchange and madegingerbread houses. We also made our annual trek downtown to ice skate at thePPG Rink.
After the holidays, we started to gear up for our annual PRIDE conference that willbe held in Toledo, Ohio from April 14-16, 2011. We also held our annual lock-inwhere the team had a lot of fun watching movies, spending time together and ofcourse eating junk food. We also spent time working on drug education for ourteam and perfecting our skits and dance that we will present at the conference toour friends on other PRIDE teams throughout the United States.

Sir John Falstaff, an errant, portly, disreputable but loveable
knight, is short on money and schemes to court two wealthy
married women.The two wily wives enjoy playing practical
jokes, and conspire to outwit him and preserve their honor at
the same time. In a secondary plot, the daughter of one of the
women devises a scheme to outwit her parents and marry the
suitor of her own choosing.This modern adaptation of
Shakespeare's comedy is written in language that is easily
understood--no accents required--and features the broad
characterizations and slapstick humor that have continued to
delight audiences everywhere.

Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, inNeil Simon's hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of TheOdd Couple. Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms.
Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. The Pidgeonsisters have been replaced by the two Constanzuela brothers. But the hilarity
remains the same.
