to sit in with those in power, under
Kanjorski’s proposed plan, one
member from each of the 13 Luz-
erne County Centers would be
elected on a yearly basis to repre-
sent their specific center and meet
with the Bureau periodically so both
can get a better understanding of
what can and cannot be done in
terms of money and services.
“I welcome that idea,’ said
Charles Adams, Director of the
Luzerne-Wyoming Counties Bureau
for the Aging. ‘‘I have no objections
to some sort of ad-hoc advisory
committee.”
One major area of concern for the
citizens is the request for additional
buses to help get them to and from
the center. They say that with the
current system of one van picking
up people from all over the Back
Mountain, they. are often subjected
to long and uncomfortable rides.
“A few weeks ago when we had
our Christmas party, we asked for
another bus to help bring the people
in and there was no problem,” said
Joseph Masevitz, who was the most
vocal of the local senior group. ‘But
now they say that they can’t give us
another bus. And when I call Char-
lie Adams,
says he isn’t in.”
Adams says it is true that the
center only has one van and
because of the increasing crunch
being felt by the federal cutbacks,
they can’t give them additional
services, and in fact, they may have
to cut back in a few years.
“Our first priority is medical
transportation,”” Adams said.
“That’s the most important service.
But what’s been happening up there
is that most people want to go to the
Center on Tuesday and Thursday.
We are trying to get them to spread
themselves out to Mondays and
Fridays to help alleviate that prob-
lem.
“Another area where we gauge
our centers is by the amount of
activity that goes on,’’ he continued.
“We consider 35 to be a good
number. But there, they are below
25 and if that continues, they may
eventually be closed, not by us, but
by the state.”
Complaints were also voiced
about the conditions regarding bath-
room facilities, leaky ceilings, park-
ing and lack of handrails. As of now
there is only one toilet in each of the
Men’s and Women’s restrooms. In
addition, they also pointed to a
leaky ceiling in the cafeteria that
drips whenever it rains.

Walt Disney Productions is still
“tops” in the field of entertainment.
When the word “Disney” is men-
tioned, one thinks of ‘creative
genius” and an enterprise that is
certainly multifaceted. For years
people have enjoyed Disney theme
parks, TV specials, Disney charac-
ters, productions, Disney paraphen-
alia that have been marketed, car-
toons, Disney movies, and recently
even videos.
Keeping
with current
trends, Walt |
Disney Produc-
tions has pro-
ceeded to estab-
lish a TV
syndication = divi-
sion. Many TV
viewers by now
up
have heard of the WYSOCKI
Disney Channel.
This syndicated channel has
included and will include many
Disney features, such favorites as
“The Wonderful World of Disney”
series, the popular “Zorro” series,
animation classics and cartoons.
Continuing to branch out into new
areas of domain, Disney Produc-
tions is now developing the largest
convention-hotel complex not only in
Florida, but anywhere on the East
new luxury hotels having a com-
bined value of $265 million.
In order to create an additional
attraction at Walt Disney World,
Walt Disney Productions is invest-
ing $300 million to build a full-scale
film and TV studio facility in Flor-
ida. This enormous project, in con-
junction with MGM-UA, will be
called the Disney - MGM Studio
Tour. This latest venture should be
completed by the end of the year in
Orlando on the construction of four
sound stages that will also have the
ability to expand to 12 stages. The
facility is a massive production
complex and will also be available
to outside production interests.
The Disney - MGM Studio Tour
will employ over 1000 people, and
will combine film and TV produc-
tion facilities ‘with rides, and a
variety of live entertainment.
Tourists will be permitted to
observe all phases of film produc-
tion, including action in sound
stages, special effects, backlot film-
ing, and animation studios.
Walt Disney Productions would
like to continue producing theatrical
features, TV movies, and cable
movies, while increasing its ani-
mated feature releases and Satur-
day morning animation program-
ming. Disney Productions has
enjoyed being ‘‘on top,” and has no
intentions of being anywhere else!

A success story does not always
have to be one of the magnitude of
the Disney enterprise. Individual
endeavors can be just as interesting
if not doubly satisfying; such as
“The Christmas Story.”
It is always nice to hear of people,
especially from this area, following
their dreams and ‘reaching for the
stars.” One such person is Guy
Christmas, who has worked very
hard to make a success of himself.
Guy was born in Kingston and
grew up near Harveys Lake. He
received a full college scholarship
to study acting, but did not, at the
time, have the opportunity to pursue
his chosen field. Because of family
obligations, he instead spent 22
years in the construction industry.
As a write-in candidate, he ran for
Congress from the 11th Congres-
sional District of Pennsylvania.
Shortly thereafter, personal tragedy
defeat, Guy became even more
determined to make his life mean-
ingful. This was a tradition in the
Christmas family; his grandfather
(a Welsh coal miner) had accom-
plished the same thing.
Having attended Penn State Uni-
versity and Marjorie Brown
Thomas School of Dramatics, Guy
began his new career as writer-
actor. He produced and staged his
own play called ‘Cloud on a Candi-
date.” He has also completed a
book entitled ‘Let Freedom Sting.”
Guy’s credits include appearances
in such theatrical productions as
Earth Angel, 1776, The Silver Chord,
Best Foot Forward, Nothing But
The Truth, A Christmas Story, and
The Last Supper.
He has appeared on television in
General Hospital, Cagney & Lacey,
and If Tomorrow Comes (CBS
Entertainment). His film appear-
ances have been in Daniel, City
Heat, Execution, Perfect, The Man
with One Red Shoe, Emanon, Sweet
Dreams and Rocky IV.
Guy’s experiences have ranged
from researcher, director, lyricist,
to producer to production manager,
and designer - they can be summed
up in one word ‘‘vast.”
Currently, Mr. Christmas is resid-
ing in Marina del Ray, California,
but as he recently commented,
‘“You’ll probably find my real self
running around in a motorboat at
Harveys Lake.”
