According to Weckel, the camp classroom setting is very leisurely. The goal is to enrich young minds with subjects and concepts that they have not yet had the chance to study. “I believe that by stimulating their natu-
ral curiosities, they will gain an intellectual vitality about them and become lifelong learners,” she said. “Dr. Joseph Marzzacco of the Carbondale City Council is sponsoring the camp financially, but, we are still looking for more sponsors, as well.” Students enrolled in both sessions should bring a lunch. Students will have a 30-minute break Monday through Thursday, but no refreshments or snacks will be provided. For registration and inquiries, call 570561-3736 or email kyla.weckel@gmail.com.

Lackawanna Heritage Valley and the Rail-Trail Council of NEPA organized a ribbon-cutting ceremony and car tour to celebrate a newly restored trail section, now open to residents and visitors of the region. The redeveloped section completes a connection between the 70-mile Lackawanna River Heritage Trail system stretching across northeastern Pennsylvania. Sections of the D&H Rail-Trail and the connecting Lackawanna River Heritage Trail from Carbondale to Union Dale were closed to the public for two years, as a new natural gas pipeline was installed within the corridor. Following the installation of the pipeline, UGI and a team of contractors and consultants restored the trail with extensive drainage improvements, resurfacing and enhancing the aesthetics and amenities available to local trail enthusiasts and visitors using the trail. Following the ceremony, the gates along the trail swung open, allowing guests to embark on a car tour of our region’s newest recreational asset. “After a significant investment of time and resources, our region’s newest recreational hotspot is open,” said Owen Worozbyt, trail and environmental programs manager for Lackawanna Heritage Valley. “The teamwork and dedication from all of those involved with this project will add value to our communities and help reconnect families to our thriving and scenic watershed for years to come.” For more information and to register, visit LHVA.org.

I know. It hurts. You hate typing. You hate writing. You’re not as effective and productive. Your hand is numb, especially at night. You can’t take the pain!! You’re fed up. Your aching wrists just about ruin everything from your productivity at work to a night out with your friends. I know it’s difficult. I see many people such as yourself that ask, “When is it going to stop?” I’m writing to tell you that I’ve helped many people with hand pain and numbness from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome(CTS). The bottom line of CTS is that there is a tightening of the structures of the wrist causing an irritation on the tendons and sheaths, nerves and blood vessels passing through the wrist. Before doing anything, you must have an experienced Chiropractor like myself examine the wrist and hand to determine if yours is the type of condition that could get relief with Chiropractic care.
