Festivals Rethought

ON THE INSIDE The latest happenings in our area Page 2

by Christopher Cornell ADVANTAGE EDITOR

The festival formerly known as the Throop Cow Flop has undergone a bit of a generational change. Now rebranded as the Booster Club Blowout and 28th annual Cow Flop, the event will be a one-day affair Saturday, June 25, at the Washington Street Park, Washington and Loftus streets. The festivities begin at noon. A parade steps off at 1 p.m. Singer-songwriter Jay Luke will perform at 2 p.m. Nashville recording artist (and Jermyn native) Dani-elle will perform at 6 p.m. followed by the band Fake Uncle Jack. The actual cow flop will begin around 7 p.m. Fireworks will end the festivities at dusk. Booster Club secretary Kelly Lindemuth said the revamp came as the result of “much input from the community. They were looking to attend something that was that was more familyfriendly and certainly more economical. So giving it another title and linking it to the traditional cow flop seemed like it would get our message through.” The changes reflect a change in leadership at the Booster Club, which exists to support youth athletic activities in the borough, including the Throop Little League. “As the children of members grow up, some members choose to step aside from leadership positions in order to allow those directly involved with the children be more active,” she said. One element that will be different year, Lindemuth said, is the food. “Primarily, we will be preparing the food,” she said, noting that in previous years food was brought in by outside vendors. “That left us unable to have a say in the pricing of items. It became cost prohibitive for some families.” Food items that will be offered include potato pancakes, pizza, steak and cheese, burgers, hot dogs, Texas weiners and pizza fritta.

Blakely/Peckville organizers are, from left, seated: Jo Ann Berta, Mayor Mariani, John DeLeo and Donna Lesnefsky. Standing: Blakely Borough Council President Joseph Quinn, Shopa-Davey Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 6082 Commander Peter Puhalla, Jim Randalunas, Rick Evans, Kathy DeLeo and Frank Lesnefsky. Also on the committee are Mathilda Dubiel, Al Gillow and Borough Councilman Jeff Cruciani.

“In addition to the food, we will also be adding wine sales to our beer tent area. Case Quattro Winery from Peckville will be setting up a tent, offering sales of wine by the glass,” Lindemuth said. Lindemuth noted that more residents are becoming wine enthusiasts, and “we thought we’d answer that call as well,” she said. “Not everyone who wants to go out is a beer drinker. We wanted to appeal to those that had different tastes.” Lindemuth said the kids will notice something new as well: several bounce houses. “An all-day pass to the bounce houses will be $10 per child,” she said. But of course, you can’t improve on the perfection that is the cow flop itself. “It’s still all about the cow flop bingo,” she said. “Squares are still $10 to reserve your spot. In addition to the $5,000 winner, 10 ticket holders will have the chance to win $100 by random drawing. Winners need not be present to win, but they should purchase their tickets soon, as we are rapidly running out.” Tickets are available from any Booster Club board member, team coach or through the “2016

Throop Booster Blowout #cowflop” Facebook page. Some tickets will be available the day of the event. Meanwhile, there are also changes at another town festival this weekend. Blakely/Peckville JuneFest will be held Friday and Saturday, June 24-25, at a new location, Ritz Tech, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Peckville. There will be food, beverages and music beginning at 7 p.m. each night. A firefighter’s parade will step off from Cougar Stadium parking lot at 6:30 p.m. Friday (rain date Saturday). The Tommy Guns Band will play Friday night, and Flashdrive will perform on Saturday. Fireworks will end Saturday’s festivities at dusk. According Blakely Borough Mayor Jeanette Acciare-Mariani, the move to Ritz Tech gives the festival, now in its fourth year, room to grow. “It also means easier parking,” she said. Attendees will find “a block party, friendly atmosphere, our local food vendors, a beer tent — run by Blakely Hose Co. No. 2 — and games and wagon rides for the kids.” “As always, please bring your own chairs on Saturday to watch fireworks,” she added.

Never laugh at your wife when she is on the floor. It’s not funny! Back pain can pop up at any time and when it does, it can be very, very severe. Dont be surprised if you come home from work someday and find your wife laying on the floor in tears. Back pain results from many causes. It can be from a disc that is out, a pinched nerve, an arthritis flare-up or even from a simple but severe muscle spasm. When back pain hits hard, the pain is so severe that it can put you right on the floor! I’ve seen that type of back pain so many times in my office. I’ve often seen my patients dragged into the office, on crutches, with every little movement causing the worst pain imaginable. Sometimes, it seems like there is nothing that can be done for relief. But many of these patients leave my office walking and smiling. Chiropractic is the answer!

dean’s list for the spring semester at Susquehanna University included Kristen Bazink of Mayfield, a 2012 graduate of Lakeland High School and the daughter of Joseph Jr. and Lynne Bazink; and Jennifer Nagy of Jessup, a 2012 graduate of Valley View High School and the daughter of Thomas and Victoria Nagy. • Additions/corrections: Because of faulty information from the university, two students were omitted from the list of students who made the dean’s list at Pennsylvania State University. They were Sarah Rainey of Dickson City, who attends the University Park campus, and Nicholas J. Tomaine of Archbald, who attends the Worthington Scranton campus. In addition, again because of faulty information from the university, Emily C. Kempa of Archbald’s name was misspelled.
