WYOMING VALLEY has really
been in the news this week with the
film “A Winner Never Quits’ about
pro-baseball player Pete Grey from
Nanticoke and also with the Hano-
ver Cheerleaders capturing a world
championship.
You often hear comments like
“Nothing ever happens in Wyoming
Valley.” Not so! Wyoming Valley is
filled with interesting, determined
people who possess much courage
and talent.
Of course, I think that the bright-
est and best live in the Back Moun-
tain, but I guess I’m prejudiced.

RECENTLY
AT TRINITY
NURSERY
SCHOOL we were
privileged to see
two fine pro-
grams. Veronica
Farinola@
presented a pro-
gram with the "&<
Puffless Dragon KINGSBURY
from the American Cancer Society
and our children’s librarian from
the Back Mountain Memorial
Library, Mrs. Marilyn Rudolph,
presented a reading program.
Mrs. Farinola, who was the recip-
ient of this year’s prestigious Benja-
min Rush Award, is a tireless
worker for the American Cancer
Society. She showed the children a
film about a dragon who thought
smoking was cool, but found out
differently as his health faded. Fol-
lowing the film, the children were
treated to a visit from the Puffless
Dragon who had a coloring book for
each child.
Mrs. Rudolph, who has introduced
countless area children to the enjoy-
ment of books and reading, read to
the children and showed two lovely
film strips.
Sometimes, when I am enjoying
all the programs we see at the
school, I wonder who enjoys them
more, the children or me.

THIS RAINY WEATHER we have
been having recently is doing noth-
ing to. improve my personality.
Each day I go to Nursery School to
handle a class of about 12. On sunny
days things always go very well
because the children can spend a
portion of the morning riding bikes,
swinging, running around, getting
rid of their excess energy (and
believe me they have plenty.)
Rainy days are another story.
Children need a place to run and
play. When they are confined to a
classroom for the entire morning,
just imagine how much energy they
bottle up.
I must say that all the children
look very happy throughout the
morning and when it is time to go
home. But I often wonder what I
mornings!
