9 From RH * IN LAST WEEK'S COLUMN, I reported that Valley Tennis and Swim Club raised sevral thousand dollars at a recent event. What was inadvertently omitted was that these funds would benefit American Cancer Society, Wyoming Valley Unit. Isn’t it great that the club members worked so hard for such an important cause! 2 oo -0- THIS YEAR’S 4 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL has come and gone. For many stu- dents, it’s a little unnerving. Nowhere is it more felt than in Nursery School. You can imagine how difficult it is for a three-year- old to be separated from his or her mother. There are usually lots of tears but shortly after Mom leaves, the little one begins to enjoy the new situation. It’s amazing how fast these toddlers adjust to a new set- Luncheon planned ting and routine. Routine is very important. By the end of the week the new students realized that we have playtime, go outside, do a paper or craft, have snack, rest time, a story and then Mom comes to pick them up! At Trinity Nursery School where I teach, I have a lovely group of boys and girls. I know we are going to have a wonderful year. O- SCHOOL IS IN, soccer, football and field hockey are the seasonal sports and of course the weather has been in the 90’s. Maybe Mother the hottest. -0- PRIOR TO THE START OF SCHOOL we traveled to the Phila- delphia Zoo to see the much publi- cized koala on loan from the San Diego Zoo. My daughter Nancy is a real koala fan as is our good friend Lisa Davenport so the Kingsburys and the Davenports headed for the 675-0835 What we saw. was not what we expected. Koalas sleep 18 to 20 hours a day, waking at dawn and dusk. Since we arrived at 11 a.m. all we saw was K’Bluey sleeping in a eucalyptus tree. The crowds were heavy all day long. It seems a long way to go just to see the grey, furry back of a koala. But it was kind of neat just the same. 0- SINCERE SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY of Tony Bonomo who passed away last week. Tony owned and operated the bowling alley and roller skating rink for a number of years and was well known through- out the community. -0- BEST OF LUCK to Tom Roberts of Kingston who is the new owner of Rebennack Appliance, Shavertown and Kingston.
