Talia Walsh and Amanda Brooke (fourth and third from right) are joined by Jessup Borough officials for the recent ribbon cutting.

Quest offers fitness classes customized meal plans and workout programs, wellness coaching, metabolic testing, health and fitness workshops and seminars and more.

“I don’t want it to be just another fitness studio, but a wellness center where people can come to learn, get motivated, and be inspired along their lifelong journey.

Just down the road in Jessup, construction is underway at the former St. Mary’s Assumption Church, 517 Third St. It will soon become the Runco Elite Sports Academy.

How Ryan Runco, the owner, got started in fitness and sports training is “actually a pretty cool story,” he said. “I always loved sports and wanted to get into coaching but never pulled the trigger. One day out of the blue I received a call from Judge Tom Munley. He asked if I would teach his son Logan how to play the quarterback position. From there I thought, ‘why stop at one, why not train other quarterbacks?’ That’s how the business grew. Without that call from Judge Munley, the Sports Academy might never have gotten started.”

Runco said the facility will offer training in “everything from baseball, softball, basketball, soccer and football training. The Academy will offer individual and small group training as well as team rentals. I have

some very talented coaches in place that can provide small group and individual training.”

“Jessup is where I grew up and have all my sports memories,” Runco said. “When I found the building in Jessup it was like it was meant to be. I couldn’t pass it up.

The seventh annual Holy Name Society communion breakfast was held recently at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Throop. Two longtime altar servers were honored: Richard Chowanec, a Mid Valley junior, and Zach Blau, a sophomore at Mid Valley.

Chowanec is the son of Stephanie and Rich Chowanec. He is involved with the Leo club, student government, science club and is a center on the Spartans football team. His long range plans include going to college for engineering.

Blau is the son of Julie Zabrowski and Randy Blau. Zach has assisted at the altar for eight years, starting in the third grade.

Robert Kausmeyer attended as a member of Throop United Methodist Church. Msgr. Michael J. Delaney is pastor of Blessed Sacrament and Holy Cross parishes in Throop and Olyphant respectively.

There has been some sort of Holy Name communion breakfast in Throop for more than 80 years.

It Keeps Me Working - John from Olyphant

I never believed in Chiropractic until I started going. It started with a work injury years ago when I slipped on the step. Unfortunately, I severely injured my back and ruptured my discs and I’ve had trouble ever since. A few years ago I finally had to have surgery to remove the ruptured disc.

Sometimes my back goes into spasms and then I can’t move. My legs hurt me, especially if I stand too long. When it goes out I get an adjustment and Dr. Glidewell puts it back in. The last time it was so bad that I thought I was going to need surgery again, but the Chiropractic helped. There is no way that I would be able to work without the Chiropractic treatment. I tell people try it, it keeps me working. The MD’s who follow my case can’t believe how Dr. Glidewell is able to help me because my back is so bad, but they say keep going to him, it’s working.

* Two clinical studies have shown that binax provides better than normal hearing in certain demanding environments (University of Northern Colorado, 2014; Oldenburg Hörzentrum, 2013): Speech Reception Thresholds (SRT) in cocktail-party situations improved up to 2.9 dB for wearers with mild to moderate hearing loss using Carat binax or Pure binax hearing aids with narrow directionality, compared to people with normal hearing. ** An independent clinical study in the US has shown that primax provided a significant improvement in ease of listening in demanding listening environments. A newly developed methodology using objective brain behavior measures (Electroencephalographic data), showed a significant reduction in listening effort for mild to moderate hearing impaired subjects using primax hearing aids in speech-in-noise situations applying advanced features such as Narrow Focus and EchoShield.

The holidays are just around the corner, and that means you’ll most likely have some shopping to do in order to cross off the items on your to-do list. Groceries and supplies for Christmas dinner, gifts for family and friends, stylish outfits for the many, many parties on the horizon—getting it all together can be a rather daunting task. Luckily, by shopping close to home, you can save yourself some trouble and a lot of stress. Here are three reasons why shopping local during the holiday season makes sense.

1. No more traffic Staying close to home can help you avoid a lot of frustration during the weeks leading up to the holidays. Nothing is more annoying than the inevitable slow crawl to and from large shopping malls and department stores, or the time spent roaming congested parking lot alleys looking for that elusive free spot. By visiting your local businesses, you’ll skip the aggravating traffic while reducing your gas consumption and carbon footprint in the process. And if you’re lucky enough, you could even run your errands on foot, which provides an added bonus for your health.

2. Premium servi vice Of course, shopping online or at big box stores can save you time and money. However, that pales in comparison to the personalized customer service you’ll receive from your local businesses. A fashion consultant who already knows your tastes and style will help you pick out the perfect dress and matching accessories in a blink of an eye. What’s more, buying local will let you take advantage of exceptional after-sales services. Need to return an item? Not only is the store just around the corner, but the familiar faces behind the counter will also make the process as quick and as hassle-free as possible.

3. Great for the economy Local commerce is at the heart of any region’s economic vitality. When people shop close to home, they keep their community strong and vibrant by creating jobs and enabling services. In other words, by patronizing the businesses in your neighborhood, you’ll be helping to improve the overall quality of your life. So this year, shop smart during the holidays and encourage your locally owned businesses!
