rental you'll get free popcorn.

No membership fees to pay, no
clubs to join - just lots and lots and
lots of movies! That’s what-you can
find at “Movie Magic.” Oh, yes, and
don’t forget the popcorn!
That’s right - freshly popped pop-
corn free with all' movie rentals!
When Randy and ' Maryrose
Bishop of Eatonville decided to open
their own videotape films and VCR
shop at 242 Memorial Highway,
Shavertown, they decided to offer
area residents the same type of
service and prices they would want
for-themselves.
Their first decision was not to
have club memberships.
“We decided that was just an
additional cost to customers want-
ing to rent tapes. The money spent
for a membership could be used to
rent more tapes,” explained Randy.
Why name their business ‘Movie
Magic’? The answer is simple.
Everything you want in movies can
be found on the shelves of their
cheerful and light shop. The free
popcorn given with each movie
rental has a magical attraction to
the customer,
Magic Tuesday is another reason.
Two movie rentals for $5.00, the
third movie free. Pickup the tapes
Tuesday, return Wednesday, Then
there is the Magic Weekend Special,
three movie rentals for $7.95. Pick
up tapes Thursday or Friday and
return them on Monday.
If you are among those persons
who do not have a VCR, you can
rent a VCP for $7.50 per night, or
for the weekend. For only $10.00,
you can have one from Friday to
Monday at noon.
Randy and Maryrose are also
running a special promotion. They
register now to win with no pur-
chase necessary. The drawing will
be held in September.
Mew movies, old movies, the hits
The Wind, Elvis Presley, Frank
Sinatra, and many, many more can
be obtained at Movie Magic.
The Bishops did not forget chil-
dren. They have a special children’s
room with tapes of most of the great
children’s films as well as large
stuffed animals, the latter eventu-
ally to be given away.
Not interested in video? We sug-
gest you drop in and talk with
Randy or Maryrose and you'll
change your mind. The magic
number is 675-6555 and the magic
hours are Monday through Satur-
day, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Sunday, noon
to 5 p.m.

hockey teams in the Keystone
Games. Susan Sheetz, assistant field

MEADOWS

Adjacent to the sloping greenery
that embellishes the expanse below
the pine enclaves of College Miseri-
cordia, where east and west Dallas
roads converge upon soothing pas-
turelands and wooded grottos, lies
an equally tranquil geriatric com-
munity, aptly named “The Mead-
ows.”
Within the modern architecture,
one can’ gaze upon one of Dallas
Borough’s most captivating views of
the countryside, from every room.
The buildings and grounds them-
selves rival the natural setting with
a simplistic beauty all their own.
Colorful landscapes and flowers
by Susan Nagle, a resident of the
and Monet
prints adorn the spacious hallways,
depicting themes of activity and
serenity, two integrated concepts
that work harmoniously at the
meadows to provide the cornerstone
of a very unique and successful
program of Intermediate Nursing
Care.
Tom Sweeney, energetic adminis-
trator of the complex says, “We are
primarily concerned with rehabilita-
tion - a lot of our residents do go
home, in fact we’ve discharged over
100 since we opened.”
Marilyn Gregorski, director of
activities adds, “I feel very fortun-
ate to be working with a staff who
truly cares about people...I think
this is one of our strongest points,
we are proponents of teamwork and
communication and each is dedi-
cated to the facility and its resi-
dents.”
Judy Nelson, Director of Nursing,
continues,: “It is a real team effort
here, each of us is open to listening
and to trying to meet our residents’
needs. We combine our efforts -to
meet the goals of our people, of
course it doesn’t hurt to have the
finest group of nurses in the whole
valley,” she laughs.
Judy is quick to mention, “You
don’t have to accept an unpleasant
old age - in many cases we have the
means of overcoming or compensat-
ing for a lot of the problem areas.
We go beyond a purely physical
therapy into psychological and
social areas to promote the well
being of the total person and try to
give them quality living in all areas.
What we as nursing staff try to do is
to work toward the highest function-
NURSING
ing level of a particular resident
we don’t stop there. We make every
effort to insure that each resident
stays at an optimum level.”
Team spirit and activity at The
Meadows is reflected in the whirl-
wind of the things they do, places to
go and. people to meet” atmosphere
of daily Meadows living. There are
hosts of crafts, exercise classes, self
book reviews and studies, all com-
bining to promote the idea that an
active life is a happy and healthy
sional and cover physical, psycho-
logical and social needs of the
residents. All programs are well
care.
Ms. Gregorski mans the schedul-
ing station for calendar events
single handedly.
“One of the plusses of working at
the Meadows is the high staffing
ratio we have,” says Judy. Cer-
tainly staffing is not one of the
Meadows problems. Along with 150
employees, the facility boasts 77
volunteers who even bring their
children along to entertain or be
entertained by the residents, an
auxiliary committee, headed by
Kathryn Maxwell Bolinski plans
various outings and programs for
the center.
Medical personnel is on hand
twice a week in contrast to the once
a month visitations required by the
state. Although admittedly, The
Meadows equals and in most cases
surpasses government regulation
levels, the real medicine of The
Meadows seems to be the motiva-
tion toward activity and independ-
ence through the encouragement
and support of a warm and caring
staff.
“We don’t do things for nursing
convenience,”” says Judy, as a
diminutive lady makes her way to
the dining room with a walker. ‘It
may take her longer but I guarantee
she’ll feel better about herself
having done it,”’ she says. Though
the background of the department
directors is decidedly different, it
appears almost as though each was
destined to travel the road that
would ultimately lead them to 55
West Center Hill Road.
One immediately ascertdins the
origins of the special balance of
serenity and activity found at The
Meadows. hood

how to play and everyone looked
forward to it. In high school, it
got even better, our uniforms
were only. about four years old
and we even traveled to games,
competition got better and so did
our interest and love for the
game. It progressed that way
through college.
"Then it seemed things got a
little turned around or confused.
All that was left was amateur
sports and it was of a different
nature. The leagues and players
seemed more interested in how
they looked instead of how they
played. Teams had to have com-
plete. uniforms, right from the
socks up to their hats. You had to
have new balls and special bats.
Many of the coaches were
coaches just because they pur-
chased the equipment (in many
cases with money raised by the
players). Often there were more
arguments over the style of the
uniform rather than the abilities
of the players wearing them.
This brings me to the scary
part. I witnessed an incident
where a coach of a Little League
team was going to protest a
game because an opposing coach
wore the wrong shirt. Think
about it. Are they there for
sports or fashion design? Agreed,
you have to have rules to follow
and some uniform approach to
the game, but let’s get a little
more down to earth.

While driving along Carverton
Road in Trucksville, you may have
noticed a striking change in the
scenery across from the Trucksville
Pharmacy.
The familiar little white church
has taken on a whole new face, and
the contrast is indeed remarkable.
The attractive exterior and exquis-
ite leaded glass doors are just a hint
of the outstanding decor inside.
The Back Mountain Community
has become the home of a unique
and exclusive new enterprise begun
by internationally recognized
designer Zuska Lavenson, trading
under the name of Susan Geiger.
This very talented and charming
woman will bring to Northeastern
Pennsylvania a real touch of class
with her interiors that are specifi
cally designed for the discriminat-
ing individual.
Coming to our community from
the Philadelphia Main Line, Zuska
said it took her a. full year to find
just the right spot for her business.
“The realtors didn’t think I was a
serious buyer, lnecause nothing that
they showed muz seemed to fit the
bill. The church wasn’t what I had
in mind at all, but every time I
opened a book or talked to a realtor
it kept popping up, so I finally
decided there must be a reason. It
was a terrible mess - no heat, no
electricity, walls falling in, etec..
We've been working on it since
November, thotigh, and it is really
shaping up.”
“Shaping up’’ is indeed an under-
statement. The: only way one can
appreciate the truly luxurious
appointments that are available at
Susan Geiger Luteriors is by visiting
her design studlio. Her grand open-
ing will be Monday, June 17.
If you are in the market for a ‘one
of a kind’ look for your home or
business, or are anxious to see what
the best has to offer, be sure to stop
in.
