another to have it explode in one’s
stomach.

He said he believed that the district

not cut programsor teachers, but

Set to perform
By JOHN HOINSKI
Staff Writer
The long-awaited grand opening
of the Paramount Civic Center in
Wilkes-Barre will go on as sched-
uled on September 19 according to
project chairman Al Boscov. But
first there is this matter of raising
another $1.1 million to contend with.
“We have good news and we have
bad news,” Boscov said at a press
conference at the Sheraton Cross-
gates last Friday. ‘“The center will
open on September 19 as sched-
uled,” Boscov announced. ‘‘That’s
the good news. The bad news is that
we have the 1% million we origi-
nally estimated it would cost to
renovate the theatre. But the bids
came in at $2.6 million.”
Boscov said the committee has
considered ways of cutting back on
costs, including making concessions
on the building itself. But, they have
decided the original plans will be
followed through and other means
of financing the project will have to
be made.
‘“‘We have already approached
most of the businesses and we’ll
probably raise another $400,000 or
$500,000 from them. But we are
going to need donations from the
people too. We are asking people to
make $5, $10 and $25 donations to
the Paramount Civic Center.
“But I assure you, the grand
opening will go on as scheduled. We
will be ready by at least the 18th,”
Boscov laughed.
On tap for the gala event will be
Cynthia Gregory, Prima Ballerina,
who has been described as Amer-
ica’s top performer in the art.
Accompanying her will be a group
of 10 dancers she will bring with
her. There will also be a perform-
ance by the Wilkes-Barre Ballet
Theatre for which the Northeast
Philharmonic Orhcestra will play.
