Big (Continued from page 11) boys or girls who need an older brother of sister figure. They need someone to take them for a ride, to their home, to a movie, or to other such events. “There are more than 200 boys and a smaller number of girls in Lackawanna and Luz- erne Counties who need some- one to fill the void in their lives,” Johannes said. “We have a great shortage of male volun- teers.” The television personality asked the students to give seri- ous consideration to taking some time with a little brother or little sister. He explained the officials of the Big Brother Organization match the children with volunteers so the realiza- tionship can be meaningful to both. Ms. Olaviany explained that the role of a Big Brother or Big Sister is not a social activitiy, but rather a friend-to-friend activity. Having a Big Brother could, quite possibly, mean that many of these one-parent chil- dren would need no counseling, no getting into trouble and would get something from life. As Earl Monk, who spends a day each week with his Little Brother and sometimes longer depending on what the two plan to do, the program is very worthwhile. Monk advises those students who are able to do so to get involved as soon as possible. According to Earl, the rewards are indescribable. Drama (Continued from page 11) skits and monologues in various churches in the area. Their first full length play was the ‘‘Birth- day Party,” followed the next year by a two-hour play entitled “Tinker.” Many of the troupe members have been with the group since its beginning while others have joined in the past two or three years and the youngest have become members just this year. The group is able to present its first full-length Christmas pag- eant this year because its mem- bership has escalated. Mrs. Madeira, who studied drama while in collegg in Okla- homa, has been presenting plays for the past 23 years. She enjoys directing because she finds it an effective method of putting out the message of Jesus Christ. She is also the mother of the “Madeira Gospel Singers’’ known throughout the area. The main characters in this year’s presentation of ‘“‘the Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ are the mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, played by Darl Franklin and Timothy Madeira; the daughter, Beth, played by Denise Madeira; and the son, Charlie, played by Todd Treat. The “nasty” kids, the Herdman children, will be portrayed by six younger members of the troupe. Proceeds from the pageant will benefit the Prison Ministry of Luzerne County, WGRN, the Christian Radio Station and cer- tain missionaries of the New Life Community Church. post troupe add one The public is invited to the play and, although no admission will be charged, a donation will be taken at the conclusion of the play. — CHARLOT M.

They also have scheduled performances at the Kingston American Legion on December 20 and at the Hex Lounge on Kidder Street, Wilkes-Barre, on December 27. When the Kowalskis first joined the local music scene, Barb, then Barbara Mislak of Kingston, played the drums and guitar while Rick also played the guitar. The couple made a Nashville recording including “How Come I Have Two Dad- dies” and “Before I Met You.” In 1976, they were awarded with the Country Music Association Award for the Best Duet. The couple now has two sons, Robert, who plays the guitar and plans to join his parents in the business next year, and Joseph, who, surprisingly, is not interested in music. About ending their retirement, Barb says, ‘“We played just about every place in the Valley as ‘The Country Sweethearts.’ And, it’s great to be back and meet some of our old friends who used to come to listen to us play. “We want all our friends and neighbors to come and hear us,” she added, excited about returning to the music scene. “We enjoy playing the kind of music they like and try to play all requests.” Music (Continued from page 11) Kiwanis Club and State Chair- man of the Membership Reten- tion Committee.
