. ¥ » BE le The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 13, 1996 7 Kathleen McCarthy named DHS assistant principal By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff ‘ 1 DALLAS - Mrs. Kathleen McCarthy was appointed assis- tant senior high school principal March 4, to succeed David Bieri, who accepted a similar position with the Crestwood school dis- trict in September. McCarthy's basic philosophy is that education's job is “to em- ‘power students and teachers to be the best they can possibly be.” “Education is mainly about people,” she said. “It's a team process, involving students, teachers and parents. With the guidance of adults, the students must learn to take responsibility for their education.” -» Agraduate of Molloy College on Long Island, NY, with a bachelor’s degree in history, McCarthy earned her master's in history from St. John's University in New YorKCity. She also graduated from ‘Marywood College's school lead- ership program. ' Her varied teaching experience includes Harborfields High School in Greenlawn, NY, Our Lady of Mercy in East Greenwich, RI and Gate of Heaven School in Dallas. She also has substitute taught in area high schools. Appointed in September as a long-term substitute while Dallas Elementary principal Ruth KATHLEEN McCARTHY Tetschner was on sabbatical leave, McCarthy has already begun her duties at the high school. “I fell in love with Dallas El- ementary,” she said, her face light - ing up and her hazel eyes spar- kling. “The teachers are very dedi- cated and skilled and the parents are extremely cooperative. And, of course, the children are a joy." Aside from getting up early enough to be at school at 7 a.m., McCarthy believes her greatest challenge at the high school will be to get to know the students and the teachers. “That's what educa- tion is all about,” she said. The mother of three children, McCarthy lives in Kingston. Organizers of The Clothesline Project are, seated from left, student organizers Megan Oberdoester and Michelle Miller.

Clothesline Project returning to Misericordia The Clothesline Project at Col- lege Misericordia will present a special weekend program on March 16 and 17 for survivors of abuse against women and for oth- ers who want to understand what abuse against women is about. The Clothesline Project is a dis- play of tee shirts decorated by survivors of abuse or rape, or by someone close to a victim who was killed. The weekend program includes a keynote speaker and workshops on the topics of rape, physical abuse, incest, and at- tacks because of sexual orienta- tion, in addition to the Clothes- line display. College Misericordia has invited women in northeast Pennsylva- nia to create shirts for the Clothes- line, which will hang in the College's Anderson Sports-Health Center during the program. Par- ticipants and visitors are invited to make shirts to tell their own stories. The tee shirts become a permanent part of the Clothes- line, and will be displayed at other events and places in the future. The program runs from noon until 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 16. The keynote address will take place at 1 p.m. Concurrent work- shops will be presented at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. by the Victims Re- source Center, New Legacies and the Domestic Violence Service Center. A reception and closing ritual will be held at 4:30 p.m. On Sunday, the Clothesline display will be open from 8 a.m. until noon, and supplies will be available for making tee shirts. Because of the intense emo- tional nature of the project, espe- cially for survivors of abuse, “safe space” and counselors will be available throughout the program. The public is invited, and there is no charge for the event. Mailboxes Etc. aids retarded kids' group Mail Boxes Etc. in the Dallas Shopping Center is celebrating March as National Mental Retar- dation Month by donating part of the proceeds from every package shipped at the center to the Asso- ciation for Retarded Citizens (ARC) of Luzerne County. According to Neela Patel, owner, the month long program is a way to recognize the important contri- bution the ARC provides to im- prove the quality of life for those with mental retardation and a way to say thanks to a very worth- while organization. Throughout the month, ARC sponsors a series of events de- signed to educate the community on quality services and best prac- tices for individuals with mental retardation. Among the services the ARC provides are creative arts programs, individual and service system advocacy, public aware- ness and quality enhancement programs, transportation ser- vices, parent to parent support groups, and societal/legislative advocacy, assuring the rights of people with mental retardation are upheld and that needed ser- vices are provided. The Dallas MBE center opened in December, 1994 and serves customers in Luzerne and Wyo- ming counties. ADULT DAY CARE BANKING CHIROPRACTOR TIITLI] | T =F Q: What is Adult Day Care?
