He was in a coma on a tilt-table for more than three months. He was called a “miracle” when doctors realized that not only was he going to survive but he may walk again. Mothersbaugh endured countless hours of therapy to recover. His tragic experience inspired him to share his story with students in the hopes of saving lives. Mothersbaugh founded Road Radio USA and combined his talents, education and personal story to create a unique school assembly program that uses popular music,
videos and lighting to capture the audience’s attention while mixing in important message about the dangers of underage drinking. Pulling from pre- and post-crash life experiences, Mothersbaugh and the Road Radio crew devote their time and talents to getting the message across to teens about the consequences of alcohol and drug use. Using the input and support from many drug and alcohol professionals, educators, students and lawmakers throughout Pennsylvania, the Road Radio presentation uses music and special effects to get its message across.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday gave many people Monday off from work and school — not that most would have needed much incentive to stay home given the conditions outside.
Temperatures in the single digits combined with wind gusts up to 35 mph to produce wind chills of 20 to 30 degrees below zero throughout the day as Northeast Pennsylvania continued to deal with the icy aftermath of last weekend’s sloppy snowstorm.

Peckville park improvements on hold until spring BY FRANK WILKES LESNEFSKY COURTESY OF THE TIMES-TRIBUNE
Cold weather can’t stop residents from enjoying the Blakely Borough Recreational Complex, but it did force the borough to halt a renovation project on the park late last year. Borough officials hoped to complete a $240,000 park renovation project by the end of 2018, but the weather just wouldn’t cooperate, borough Manager Thomas Wascura said. “We were hoping for some warmer weather, but it never got war m enough to get it done,” he said. Crews be gan construction last spring, working to repave and widen the park’s trails, adding rain gardens, and installing new stormwater drains to prevent sediment from getting into the river, among other improvements. The project also included adding new shrubs, trees, mulch, benches and LED lights. Additionally, workers installed security cameras to curb vandalism, along with putting in new underground wiring. However, the wiring was not part of the project itself, Wascura said. When they realized they wouldn’t finish by the end of the year, the borough had to get a grant extension with the state Department of Conversation and Natural Resources, Wascura said. The DCNR gave the borough $120,000 for the project, and Blakely matched the grant. The majority of work did get done before the cold weather hit, Wascura said, but low temperatures prevented the borough from finishing the paving project. They did get to lay the base coat of asphalt in the fall, but now they have to wait until the spring to add a top coat, he said, estimating renovations will be finished by June. As part of the paving project, the borough widened trails in the upper

The new landscaping from the renovation project is “gorgeous,” she said on Friday. section of the park from 9 feet to 12 feet to allow for bicycles. Bikes are prohibited in the park, but as soon as paving is complete and pavement markings are added, cyclists will get the green light, Wascura said. Even without the top coat of pavement, the new asphalt is already an improvement, said Jennifer Mancia of Jessup. Mancia runs at the park every other day, and the asphalt feels much better on her legs and knees, she said. “It’s a lot better,” she said. “A lot more cushioning.” Beyond maintenance, the 25-yearold park hasn’t received any major renovations, so the new work is a welcome upgrade for residents like Dorie Merli of the borough’s Peckville section. Merli walks at the park almost every day, and she was one of a handful of people enjoying the park on Friday afternoon despite cold weather. “It looks awesome, doesn’t it?” she said, adding that residents are lucky to have the park. “It’s a great place to come and walk.”

Could Your Legs Or Hips Be At Fault? There are many reasons why you may be living with chronic lower back pain. One of the culprits is a short leg. Even a difference of a quarter to half an inch can cause the pelvis to tilt to one side and create an uneven support for the base of your spine. It’s a little like walking with one foot in a small ditch. The uneven pelvis then causes a lumbar curvature, which must be further compensated from above.
Skills USA competiton
Skills USA is an integral part of approved technical education occupation programs. In December, students in the Career Technology Program competed at Johnson College and Luzerne County Community College. Several students from Carbondale Area High School won prizes. Eric Cruz earned first place in firefighting. Marino Preschool registration DePalma got first place in first aid/CPR. Registration for the Kinder Kampus Chris Dietrich and Hunter Ragan earned Preparatory Preschool’s academic school third place in quiz bowl.
New Year, New Smile!
In any case, it’s important to consider the foundation of a spinal problem, and it can be as simple a problem as bad foot posture that is affecting how your low back functions. Also, problems in the sacroiliac joint or hips can affect how the lower spine moves. Stop by for an evaluation of your legs, hips and feet in order to become more knowledgeable about how your body and posture could be affecting your lower back.

TERI LYON / FOR TRIBORO BANNER
When shoveling, push the snow straight ahead. Don't try to throw it. BY TERI LYON FOR TRIBORO BANNER
A snow storm like we had last weekend could be almost as dangerous in your driveway as it is out on the highway. While thankfully I never had a serious injury after shoveling snow, I remember several times when my back was on the verge of going out. I didn’t welcome this because, in addition to causing me physical pain, it slowed me down. Any setback, big or small, takes too much time away
from a busy parent. Even if you minimize the work by making snow clearing a family project at your house, there are still risks for injuries. According to Clarks Summit chiropractor Jennifer Finn, back injuries are common during the winter. “Obviously, back injuries increase during certain times of the year that require more physical activity,” she pointed out. Please see Shovel, Page 11

FROM PAGE 10
“Snow shoveling is definitely an activity that, if done incorrectly, can really injure the back. There is also an increase in slips and falls this time of year that can also cause injuries.” Finn has been practicing for 23 years and has owned Finn Chiropractic Center in Clarks Summit for almost 20 years. She received her undergraduate degree from Rutgers University and her doctorate in chiropractic from Life University. Although back injuries can happen to anyone, they are more of a risk for people as they age, she said. “The older we get, the less physical we tend to be and less stretched out. Those two things combined can really be a nightmare for the back,” said Finn. The chiropractor said there is a right way and a wrong way to shovel snow. Unfortunately, people often pick up a shovel without thinking through the process. That could lead to disaster. “The biggest mistakes people make with snow shoveling is not using their legs,” said Finn. “People tend to use the back for all the power and twist when throwing the snow off the shovel.” However, she offered some advice for shoveling snow properly. First, layer your clothing. Finn said this is important to keep your muscles warm and flexible. Next, she suggested doing some warm-up stretching before you grab the snow shovel. “Shoveling can cause strain on ‘deconditioned’ muscles between your shoulders, lower back, buttocks and legs,” she explained. Warming up first helps to prevent this strain. During the actual shoveling process, the chiropractor said there are several key things to remember. “When you do shovel, push the snow

Even if you minimize the work by making snow clearing a family project at your house, there are still risks for injuries. straight ahead. Don’t try to throw it,” she said. “Walk it to the snow bank. Avoid sudden twisting and turning motions.” She added, “Bend your knees to lift when shoveling. Let the muscles of your legs and arms do the work, not your back.” She noted that it is important to take frequent breaks to take the strain off your muscles. “A fatigued body asks for injury,” she said. Last but not least, Finn said, “Chiropractic care is always a great idea to keep your spine healthy and free from injuries.” Teri Lyon is a mom, grandmom and freelance writer who lives in Glenburn Township with her cat.

Farmer’s market flavor Vendor masters a variety of vegan, gluten-free scones
I
BY GIA MAZUR sTAFF wRITER
n the beginning of January, expectations are high, and people feel invigorated to stick to a healthy lifestyle. By this time, though, that energy can dwindle, and Scranton resident Dorothy Vidota Chow knows why. “You give every single thing up. Then, that first piece of bread hits your lips, and you can’t stop yourself,” she said during a recent day in her East Mountain home. “It’s all about balance.” Vidota Chow practices what she preaches. The personal trainer also owns Leave Me a Scone and sells homemade vegan and glutenfree scones at the South Side Farmer’s Market, a project of United Neighborhood Centers of Northeast Pennsylvania. Her creations typically mix together unexpected flavors, such as strawberry and basil or savory and sweet combinations such as a scone made with corn relish with a cheddar vegetable butter. As for sweet cravings, Vidota Chow holds the answer to the mid-January weakness: Gluten-free Dark Chocolate Scones. The scones, which earned UNC a $50 grocery gift card through Local Flavor Gives Back, are easy to make, Vidota Chow said, but its secret is in using quality ingredients. She cited high-quality vanilla such as Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract and chocolate such as Dagoba Organic Chocolate 74 Percent Cacao Premium Baking Dark Chocolate Drops as her favorites. She also added that bakers shouldn’t use anything

and her husband moved to New Jersey, where they raised their four children. During that time, she was a descriptive food panel leader for Sensory Spectrum, a consulting firm that specializes in sensory-consumer experience for many brand-name food companies. “That was really fun for me, because it combined my love of food with science,” she said. When the couple moved back to the Scranton area about two years ago, she still cooked and baked but really pursued her business per her son’s suggestion after she whipped him up a batch of vegan scones. While her son came up with the business’s cheeky name, she also credits friend and fellow vendor Gail Scaramuzzo of Canned Classics with the push to start selling at the farmer’s market. Megan Maslousky, market manager, said Leave Me a Scone joins vendors whose GIA MAzuR / sTAFF PhoTo missions are to provide Scranton resident and owner of Leave Me a Scone Dorothy Vidota Chow, whose access to healthy, fresh and locally sourced food.
