It takes a spark and then it is spread to others.” “This is a great program and it opens you up to new experiences,” said Ben Gibson an incoming 11th grader at Abington Heights. “The staff is well-prepared and make it so much fun. I will have a lot of great memories.” “When they first come to the camp they are shy and keep to themselves,” said Devin Distilli, who attended the program when he was a student at Wallenpaupack Area High School and now attends Lebanon Valley College. He has been involved
with the conference for five years and is the counselor director. “At the end of the camp they’re a different person. They get to be themselves and are so carefree. This program brought me out of my shell. The conference is the best week of my life.” “I got to meet new people,” said Sydney Rothka an incoming 11th grader at Abington Heights. “I have never done some of these activities before and it is a cool experience.” “The conference was a new experience,” said Shannon Baranski an incoming 11th grader at Abington Heights. “You meet a lot of people who may share a common interest.

Presc riPtion D rug A D ve rtising: the B A sic s Everyone knows that media — TV, internet, radio, etc. — is filled with commercials. And television may be the worst. The number of commercials shown during an average hour of television has risen at a phenomenal rate and, according to Nielsen, is now around 14½ minutes per hour. As we all know too well, many of these commercials are for prescription drugs. A little over two decades ago the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) loosened restrictions on advertising prescription drugs on television. Prior to the rule change, brand-name prescription drugs were only marketed directly to healthcare providers. Now we see advertisements for drugs and conditions from the common to the rare and we hear about benefits, complex side effects and risks. It can easily be frightening and overwhelming. A drug is “prescription-only” when a medical professional must supervise its use because patients are not able to use the drug safely on their own. Congress has laid out different requirements for prescription and non-prescription or “over-thecounter” drugs. Congress also gave the FDA authority to oversee prescription drug ads. However, while the FDA oversees ads for prescription drugs, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) oversees ads for overthe-counter (non-prescription) drugs. The FDA has a great section on their web site called “Be Smart About Drug Advertising — A Guide for Consumers,” to help. Some basic information from the FDA about advertising can help you with prescription drug commercials. Prescription drug advertising must: • Be accurate; • Balance the risk and benefit information; • Be consistent with the prescribing information approved by the FDA; and • Only include information that is supported by strong evidence. There are a number of different kinds of ads and they each have different requirements. Product claim ads are the only type of ad that can name a drug and discuss its benefits and minuses. According to the FDA, the ad must use understandable lan-
guage and present the benefits and risks in a balanced way. All the risk information does not have to be included; if not, the ad must tell viewers/listeners where they can find more information. Reminder ads give the name of the drug, but not the drug’s uses. The reminder ad does not list risks therefore reminder ads are not allowed for certain prescription drugs with serious risks. The FDA states that drugs with serious risks have a special warning called a “boxed warning.” Because of their seriousness, the risks must be included in all the ads for these drugs. Help-seeking commercials describe a condition or disease but do not recommend a particular drug. Help-seeking ads may include a drug company’s name along with contact information. Other kinds of marketing materials such as brochures and direct mailing called “promotional labeling” are also used to advertise prescription drugs. If these materials mention the drug’s benefit(s) they must also mention the drug’s prescribing information. Some common violations are: • Omitting or downplaying the risks; • Overstating the effectiveness; and • Misleading drug comparisons. If you think a prescription drug ad violates the law, contact FDA’s Office of Prescription Drug Promotion through the FDA web site. The FDA also has a “BAD AD” outreach program designed to educate healthcare providers about the role they can play in helping the FDA make sure that prescription drug advertising is truthful. As the commercials say, talk to your doctor. Your healthcare provider is the best source of information about what medicines are right for you. The prescription drug commercials can give helpful information that we can then use to work with our healthcare provider in making wise treatment decisions. The Northeast Regional Cancer Institute can provide additional information on the above topic. Feel free to visit the Cancer Institute website at cancernepa.org, or contact the organization by calling 1-800-424-6724.

GR EEN SCENE
Green Scene : AS h ID
Last week I was asked to evaluate the health of an ash tree in decline and an old maple tree. When we had finished looking at these trees, the homeowners pointed me to a “cherry” tree. From a distance, the tree did not look like a cherry tree, and the tree did not look like a cherry tree when I got up close, but one could argue that the “leaf” of the tree had the same general shape of a cherry leaf. And, this homeowner is an avid gardening caretaker of her property, so I was inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. But, once I brought up “MAD Buck,” all doubt was gone: The tree was an ash, but what is MAD Buck? MAD Buck is a list of trees: Maple, Ash, Dogwood and Buckeye. These are the only common Pennsylvania trees with “opposite branching” tendencies. In general, there are only two branching tendencies, opposite and alternate. With alternate branching, the leaves, twigs and branches alternate on which side of the stem they sprout, in a zig-zag fashion. With opposite branching, the sprouting of the leaves, twigs and branches mirrors one another across the stem (see photo). When pruning opposite branching, you are cutting the lead back to two nodes rather than one, and the growth from the nodes can make it difficult to make the pruning cut in the right spot without injuring the nearby shoots.
So by using MAD Buck, you can eliminate trees from your ID possibilities even before looking at leaf shape, bark texture, twig and bud type, etc. For example, suppose you pick up a “maple” leaf off the ground in the fall. But when you look up at the tree from which it fell and see alternate branching, you know that it is not a maple. And, when you look more closely at the “maple” leaf, you see that even its veins are not opposite but alternate. When you get home, you look up a tree with a maple leaf that is not a maple. You find that the scientific name for a London planetree is platanus x acerifolia, a cross between an oriental planetree and an American sycamore. The translation of this scientific name means a planetree with maple leaves. But planetrees have alternate branching and are not maples. So when I looked at my reader’s “cherry” tree, even though I gave her the benefit of the doubt and initially overlooked the furrowed ash bark and did not spot the smooth margins on the leaflets of the compound ash leaves, when I brought up MAD Buck, I knew we were looking at an ash.

SPeCiAL To THe AbinGTon SUbUrbAn Who can resist looking up at the stars on a clear, summer night? Samantha Wilkerson and The Gathering Place can help you understand what you see. Wilkerson, an upcoming senior at Abington Heights High School, will conduct a presentation, “Starry, Starry Night” at The Gathering Place on Wednesday, July 12, at noon. She will share her knowledge of constellations and stellar rotation through the seasons with a PowerPoint presentation that reveals the beauty of the stars. “I’m interested in studying the stars, but it’s more than just that. Space is infinite, and I want to know what’s out there Fourteen students in Wyoming Seminary Lower School’s seventh-grade Latin program re- and why it’s out there, and how it could cently received awards in the National Latin Contest for Northeastern Pennsylvania, held potentially affect us,” Wilkerson said. earlier this year.

Third row: Jacob Ruderman, Akira Kopec exploration. and Niko Katsuyoshi. Fourth row: Jessie Miller, Rhianna Lewis and William Vinsko. “When I was probably 3 or 4, my parents made me a space helmet out of a cardboard box and I would wear it around the house. I used to want to be an astronaut. I no longer want to be an astronaut, but I am still fascinated by the stars and planets,” she said. Noting that she studies stellar evolution — the life cycles of stars — planetary nebulae and other stellar events, Wilkerson said, “I look at their causes and their effects because I want to know why they happen and what they mean for us in the future. For example, our sun, a red giant star, will someday expand and engulf our entire solar system, and then it will explode. That’s fascinating to me.” Wilkerson became seriously interested in astronomy and astrophysics last year. “My dad and I joined the Lackawanna Fourteen members of the 2016 Abington Heights football team were named to the Astronomical Society and we regularly at2016 EasternPAFootball.com All-Academic Team.

“I also feel that it is a very practical science. I can go out any clear night and look at the stars. I’ve begun to memorize certain constellations, and I want to continue doing so. I really just want to learn more about our surroundings, because I believe that as a person on earth, I have the responsibility to know about my origins (the Big Bang Theory) and surroundings (outer space).” A member of The Gathering Place’s Teen Board, Wilkerson started volunteering for the organization as her high school senior project. Under the guidance of Anne Armezzanni, she has documented photographically the building process of The Gathering Place. Her photos eventually will be displayed in a binder at The Gathering Place. “I love being part of the community. Knowing that I am volunteering my time gives me a sense of fulfillment, and I am beyond thrilled to be sharing my knowledge on a subject that I am so passionate about,” she said. “I’m so excited to talk to people, and hopefully get them excited about what I love doing, and about what I want to do for the rest of my life, which is study outer space.” For more information, visit gatheringplacecs.org or the organization’s Facebook page.
