You can drive for miles down the Bethel Hill Road near Shickshinny and see nothing but rolling hills, woods and small farms and suddenly there’s a struc- ture that looks like the beginning of a mini- cathedral. What you’ve come upon is Clear Brook Lodge. Since its beginning in 1972, the story of Clear Brook has been one of size and services. What began as a small treatment center for alcoholics now offers complete rehabilitative services to nearly 400 men and women each year. With the completion of the new facility, the program will be expanded to include a residential family treat- ment component. In commenting on the new addition, Frank Brook, pointed out both the ever increasing need for drug and alcohol services and the present gap in ser- vices to those most closely affected by the disease-the family members, A record 65-cent dividend the November board meeting of First Eastern Bank held at the bank's main offices in Wilkes- Barre. y The announcement wa made by Richard M. Ross, Jr., president and chief executive officer, who said the dividend represents an increase of five ‘cents a share from the 60 cents paid = quarterly since November of 1976 when it was increased from 55 cents. The dividend is payable Jan. 2 to shareholders of record Dec: 13. The bank president pointed out that this in- crease was in addition to the five percent stock dividend that was paid on Nov. 1, 1978. Ross said First Eastern’s directors felt the action was appropriate due to the bank’s continuing growth, which is reflected in three record quarters so far this year. As of Sept. 30, earnings for the first nine months of 1978 were $4.99 per share, an increase of 33 percent over a similar period in 1977 and 47 cents, or.more than 30 percent, over this year’s second quarter. First Eastern Bank, with total assets of over $552 million and 26 offices throughout Columbia, Luzerne and Monroe Counties, is ranked 236th among the nation’s 300 largest banks. He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything. Arabian Proverb CHILD'S ed] “Until now most of the efforts in the field of rehabilitation have been aimed at helping the alcoholic or addict. Their families have been ignored. Clear ‘Brook Lodge is going to do something about that.” For the facility, James C. Kelly, architect with Catania Engineering Associates of Chester, Pa., has designed a central octagon structured with a cathedral ceiling surrounded by sky lights. The split log and stucco facade will continue the rustic appearance of the present Lodge. General building is under the direction of Elwood E. Scheib’ of Stillwater. Under the dome of the octagon, the general assembly room with a seating capacity of 250 will become the hub of program activities: educational lectures, workshops, seminars and socials. Around its perimeter are the executive and business and = counseling rooms. Extending from the central structure are three residential wings each containing twin bed rooms with adjoining baths. Mid-January should see the completion of con- struction and the beginning of the state’s first residential treatment program for families. Under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Stegman, FOCUS-the Family will assist family members in recognizing addiction as the primary cause of family breakdown rather than as a sympton of it. The goal of FOCUS is to promote the health of all family members and to halt the legacy of addiction as it is passed down through the generations. The program is available to anyone who is living in a troubled family due to addiction whether or not the addicted relative has sought treatment.
