History comes alive on the battleeld for teacherElizabeth [email protected]

Attired in a Civil War Union privatesuniform, complete with blue forage cap,sack coat, wool trousers, brogans (leath-er ankle boots) and leather straps to holdammunition and supplies, LackawannaTrail High Schoolhistory teacherTimothy Pierce, ofMill City, will takeup his Enfield rifflemusket June 27 andhead into battle.

Battle reenact-ment, that is.

Although the uni-form and musketare replicas and noone will actually beunder fire, Piercesaid he hopes the150th Gettysburg Reenactment: A BlueGray Alliance Event, to be held June 27to 30 in Gettysburg, will help bring thehistory and reality of the Civil War to lifefor those participating in and witnessingthe event.

He said he has previously participatedin several reenactments with his unit,the 81st Pennsylvania, Company K andhe believes when people see the the bat-tles with their own eyes, it helps makeit real so they can say, Wow, this reallyhappened. Its not just monuments on abattlefield, or my mom and dad dragging

me around the battlefield on a 90 degreesummer day boring me.Sometimes when youre involved

in the battles, he said, if youre in aplace in the battlefield where you cant

see anything modern, you can only see19th century stuff, it kind of puts youback in that time and place. Obviously,you know youre not really going to getshot, butits very emotional when thebattle is over and one of our buglers playstaps and everybody stands up at atten-tion. Sometimes you can see guys withtears running down their face and stuff

like that. You really feel for the soldiers.Thats why we do it, is to to honor andremember the soldiers.

Pierce said he first got into Civil Warreenacting when he lived in Virginia and

the film Gettysburg was released. Healready had an interest in the Civil Warand previously considered reenacting,but wasnt sure how to pursue it.

I was in a parking lot of a mall downin Virginia, he said, and I stopped a guywho had a reenacting bumper sticker onhis car. I joined a unit down there calledthe 79th New York, The Highlanders.

Then when I moved here, I tracked downsome people in the 81st PennsylvaniaCompany K and joined them.

He said his current unit consists ofabout 50 members30 active military

men and 20 women25 of whom plan toparticipate in the upcoming event, alongwith many other groups from around thecountry.

The reenactment will include the vari-ous phases of the Battle of Gettysburg inchronological order over three days. Acomplete schedule can be found onlineat the events website, www.bluegray-

gettysburg.com. Pierce is scheduled toparticipate in McPhersons Ridge, CulpsHill and East Cemetery Ridge on Friday,

Investments in quality earlychildhood education needed now

Editor:This nation faces a frihtenin

prospect. Our lack of inestment

in earl childhood educationadersel impacts this countrsabilit to create hih-alue jobsand compete loball. Whenwe dont alue inestments inchildren earl on in life, it hasaderse implications.

Hih-qualit earl childhoodeducation prepares oun chil-dren for success in school. At atime when their oun brainsare rowin and deelopin rap-idl, it imparts instruction andstimulation that build lifetimecapabilities for learnin. Whenthe enter school read to learn,the are likelier to sta on paceacademicall, raduate fromhih school, pursue collee orcareer trainin, and enter our

communities as productie citi-ens.

Without qualit earl learn-in, the opposite happens.Disadantaed children, espe-ciall, enter school behind theirpeers deelopmentall and stabehind, eentuall droppin outof school, oin on welfare, andettin tanled up with the law.

A lack of inestment in earleducation has such far-reachinneatie connotations that, tome, its almost mind-bolin.Its common sense to sa thatou inest where ou hae tomake the least amount of inest-ment for the reatest paoff.Instead, were pain astllarer amounts in the back end.

U.S. businesses demandemploees who can tackleincreasinl complex tasks,with 60 percent of new jobsrequirin skills in the STEMareas of science, technolo,enineerin, and mathemat-ics. The health care insuranceindustr is just one example ofan industr becomin more andmore analtic. We are moin to

pa-for-alue for health care, asopposed to pa-for- procedure.Determinin alue - the proress

accruin from a course of treat-ment - requireshih-leel ana-ltics, riska s s e s s m e n t ,stroner mathc a p a b i l i t i e s ,stron problemsolin, andood communi-cations.

And et, the U.S. CommerceDepartment sas that were fac-in a shortae of people quali-fied to fill jobs requirin STEMskills - somethin that eeremploer is acutel aware of.Aain, its frihtenin to con-template, especiall when ourcompetitor nations, such as

China and India, are inestin iearl childhood and deelopintheir people to fill those jobs.

Its often said that we are anation lookin for immediatereturns. When the repercussionsof a problem arent imminent,eerone kicks that can dowthe road. Its time we picked upthis particular canand dealt witit. In fact, we are makin someproress. Pennslania has donean outstandin job of brin-in this issue to the forefront. Iapplaud and support go. ToCorbetts proposed inestmenin earl childhood education.Children at risk of failin ischool should hae the opportu-nit to be sered throuh hih-

Itwill be an over-the-topevent, said Giggle Wishesowners, Denise Bennett,Newton Township andTara Sottile, Waverly, refer-ring to An American GirlIce Cream Social theyhave planned for June 30,1 to 4 p.m.

The event is gearedtoward children whowould enjoy an after-noon of pampering thatincludes ice cream conecupcakes, learn in g anew dance to the MileyCyrus song, Ice CreamFreeze (Lets Chill), aNeapolitan Hair Wrapand an ice cream mani-cure at a Sundae Spa.

Children ages 6 andolderare encouraged to attendand for $60, they can par-ticipate in all afternoonactivities and take home acustomized gift bag.

We are having thisevent to meet the kids inthe community and showeverybody what GiggleWishes style isWe dontjust throw a party, we doa custom -themed event,said Sottile, who has

teamed with Bennett.We have both enter-

tained and have been toldwe should do it (this busi-ness) for a living. It has

inspired us to go for itand make it happen.

The American Girl cel-ebration is one they are par-ticularlyexcitedto organize.

Right now you haveto travel into New YorkCity to get anything likethat, so were trying tobring a bit of that backto this area. It wont bejust a party with someAmerican Girl decora-tions; we will create anentire party and shrink itdown to doll size.

A few of the partiesthey have planned is a

Pink Princess Party inTunkhannock, an art-themed party at JustPaint It; they are work-ing on a Mermaid Underthe Sea party and havealready booked commu-nity events.

Bennettsaid, Anythingyour children can dreamup, we can make happenfor them. We want to cre-ate memorable eventsthat none of their friendshas had.

We know what thekids want because wehave kids, added Sottile.

Bennett and Sottile willtravel to clients homes orother locations to preparethe space.

Prices vary dependingon services provided.

However muchthey (our clients) needus, were there, saidBennett.

Bennett has two daugh-

ters, Faith and Grace andSottile, a daughter andson, Hannah and Finn,who the women say haveinspired their businessand ideas.

Bennett said, Theykeep me in touch with my

inner childhood.The women shoutedout thanks to their hus-bands, Mark Bennett andKevin Sottile, respec-tively and their familieswho have helped the duomaintain a balance intheir busy lives.

Its a balancing act,said Bennett, a teameffort.

The self-s erve frozenyogurt shop, where cus-tomers can help them-selves to their choiceo f fro zen yo gurt andtoppings opened June1 0 at 8 60 B NorthernBlvd., South AbingtonTownship. When an indi-vidual frozen yogurt treatis complete, it is placedon a scale and weighed todetermine the price.

Cai and Lin offer frozenyogurt, but also present aselection of teas, both hotand cold, which they pre-pare for customers.

Milk tea is very popu-lar with young people,

Lin said. A feature of thenew shop is bubble tea, aspecialty that originatedin Taiwan and got its namefrom the pearl-like bobasat the bottom of the cup,according to Cai and Lin.

Their shop offers twotypes of bobas in theirtea. The original bubbletea bobas are dark tapiocapearls with a consistencysimilar to soft gummycandy. The other typepopping bobas, or whatCai and Lin call coatingjuice, are smalle r juice -filled pearls that offera burst of liquid flavorwhen they pop open in

the mouth.The busines s partnersmet through previousemployment. When Cai

had the idea to open afrozen yogurt shop, sheshared her idea with Lin.

We work well togeth-er and we communicatewell, Cai said. Theychose the location for theirnew shop, because therewas nothing like it in thisarea, Cai said. The namewas Karens idea.

The Lackawann a Herita ge ValleyAuthority mission statement isto facilitate community action

in the preservation, developmentand promotion of the regions his-tory, cultural heritage and naturalresources, Gelb, a South Abingtonresident, wrote in an email.

The connect ion between the parkand the community is strong andone of the most important parts ofthe concert series.

Harris said Diane Vietz, Abington

Area Joint Recreation Board vicechair and architect of the summerconcert series approached her andasked Harris to become the logisticsand public relations coordinator.

She is excited to be working on anevent that is great for the commu-nity.

I think its going to be a greatevent, Harris said.

Dalton resident reports falling treesBe FredaAbingtonJournal Correspondent

DALTON Mill Streetresid en t Bil l Gerrityinformed Dalton BoroughCouncil members, at theirJune 13 meeting, that arow of trees are fallinginto the creek behind hisproperty, causing prob-lems near his backyard.He said the trees are 80to 90 feet tall and fallingone by one because theirbark is being eroded.

( On ) t hre e of t hetrees, actually, all the barkfell off and they died, hesaid.

Gerrity mentioned thatthe first tree fell into thecreek, causing the waterto rise 15 feet above thecreeks bank.

About four monthsago the next two treesfell across the creek. Andif you walk alongside thekarate center (United

Tang Soo Do All ian ce) ,you can see them , hesaid.

Gerrity said two twotrees remain near MainStreet and he fears theoutcome.

These trees are goingto come down shortly, hesaid. I dont know whosresponsible for trees onthe creek bank.

Gerrity said b oardmembers have an obliga-tion to review the situ-ation before remainingtrees fall and cause dam-age or hurt someone. Hesaid children fish in thecreek all the time andanimals such as turtlesand rabbits live near thecreek.

Board m em ber Bil lMon tg om ery said hewould contact th eDepartment of PublicWorks. We cant go inthe creek.

The board thankedGerrity for his concern.

I n o ther n ews, C ubScout Ryan Dill, of Pack

175 in Factoryville, askedthe boards permissionto stain picnic tables at

Dalton Streamside Parkpavilion for his EagleScout project.

Montgomery asked Dillthe length of the project.Dill said with help fromother scouts it could becompleted in two week-ends.

Montgomery said, Asa matter of fact, we haveenough stain right now todo the job. We just needt o g et a hold o f a fewbrushes.

Montgomery suggestedDill formalize with a let-ter.

In other business, sec-retary Jo Ann Daviesread a letter of correspon-dence, which was signedby Gail Rees, president ofthe Dalton Business andProfessional Association.

Im trying to organizeand look in to provid-ing several forms for ourcommunity to share ideasand promote common

goals, Davies read aloudfrom Rees letter. Theformat might provide an

opportunity for the rep-resentatives to educatethe public as to specificduties and encourage par-ticipation in the munici-pal activities to supportyour efforts. We wouldwelcome the opportunityto work with you on the

specifics, the publicity,time, and so on.

Montgomery said thatthe board will take itunder advisement.

In other business, inhis report, Mayor AaronHolzm an ann ouncedt hat his d rawings o f t he b aseb all field forDalton Streamside Parkhave b een appro vedby Department of Conservation and NaturalResources.

Epic heroes are oftenaided by supernatural help-ers or guides, but Cherylshelp comesin humanform. Alongthe way, shemeets otherhikers, mostof whomoffer hervarious giftsin the formof encour-agementand crashcourses inhow to use an ice ax andhow to lighten the load ofher pack. Perhaps the mostimportant gift comes inthe form of insight from awoman named Pat, whotells her that not having agood father as a child haswounded her and offerssome profound advice:The fathers job is toteach his children how to

be warriors, to give themconfidence.If you dontget that from your father,you have to teach your-self.

Campbell writes thatheroes must, literally orfiguratively, descend intothe belly of the whale, asort of netherworld where

they will learn aboutthemselves. For Cheryl,this place is the PacificCoast Trail itself, and ofcourse, the interior hellshe carries inside.

Wild is a beautifullywritten, though sometimesuncomfortably raw, book.Its author has a wonderfulsense of character andplace and shes unsparinglyhonest. There is nocloyingly sweet moral thereader is forced to chokedown, as is the case ofother similar memoirs.Perhaps because shewaited 16 years to writeit, Cheryl gives us a senseof the perspective shesgained.

In myths, heroesfind and bring backboons to the world: fire;redemption; salvation.Cheryl Strayed bringsback from her journeygifts of insight for herself

and quite possibly for thereader. During her threemonths on the trail, shealso has shed her sense ofbeing cheated by the worldand has come to realizethat it always gives herwhat she needs to survive.These are lessons wed alldo well to learn. Christine Faye (Staff)
