[8 et) The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, August 2, 1989 7 Steve Oliver travels with U.N. group By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Steve Oliver of Midway Manor, Shavertown, returned home last week from a 10-day trip as dele- gate for the Annual United Na- tions Pilgrimage for Youth, spon- sored by the five lodges of District 20 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Steve is the third student sponsored by the lodges. Lori Phillips of Lehman was the delegate in 1987 and Todd Coolbaugh of Pittston Area High School served in 1988. Steve was one of 32 students and adults from Pennsylvaniaand five from Virginia who met in Harrisburg and from there trav- eled bybus to Niagara Falls. There, they stayed overnight on the Canadian side of the Falls, toured the area and went up in the skylift at night. : “I would like to return there sometime and spend more time,"Steve said. “If possible I'd like to go under the Falls if they still have those tours.” The following day, the travelers left Niagara Falls and headed toward Cobourg, Canada, where they met their host families and spent the night. Some of the trav- elers stayed with families in the town and were able to tour histori- cal sites, but Steve and several others stayed with a family who had a cabin on a lake which led to Lake Ontario - a pleasant experi- ence, according to Steve. After leaving Cobourg, the trav- elers headed toward Montreal where they spent the day visiting the science building. “That was very interesting to me,” Steve said, “Since I want to study pharmacy after graduating from Dallas High School.” ~The bus was running ahead of schedule, so the travelers made it to Ottawa, Ontario where they Steve Oliver stayed for one night and took time out to visit the Canadian Parlia- ment, which Steve felt was en- tirely different from the United States Government's sessions. “The buildings were very old,” Steve said, “And everything was much different than in the United States.” “When we finished sightseeing, we boarded the bus and left Can- ada and traveled through the New England states, stopping in Ver- mont for lunch and staying over- night in Nashua, New Hampshire where we went to see the ships passing through the locks.” Saturday, the bus left New Hampshire and traveled to Boston where the ambassadors went sight- seeing Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. They visited Boston Harbor, saw Old Ironsides and other historical sites. Later they left Boston and continued their journey to New York City, checking into the Southgate Tower Hotel, Road work schedule set Matthew R.

While in New York City, the travelers spent Monday and Tues- day at the United Nations where Steve learned that the U.N. does a lot more than work toward peace in the world. “They do a lot to solve hunger and disease problems in the world, especially in the third world na- tions,” Steve explained. The delegates also visited the IBM Art Gallery, the AT&T Science Center and the Empire State Build- ing, and attended the musical “Chorus Line". In the science build- ing, they were able to do various scientific projects. They also toured the Statue of Liberty, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Federal Hall where the old capitol was located, the NBC Studio and Trump Tower, one of the classiest places Steve said he has ever seen. If he could return to any of the places he visited in his travels, Steve said he would like to return to Boston to spend more time and also visit Cape Cod. Among the best experiences on the trip, according to Steve, was making a lot of friends among the group. There were 30 girls, nine boys and two adults. “From time to time we switched roommates and met persons from all over the coun- try. It was a great experience,” Steve said. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Oliver, Steve is an honor student at Dallas Senior High School where his favorite subjects are history and current events. He is also ac- tive in cross-country, basketball and track, and is a member of the Peer Helpers. In his leisure time, Steve enjoys fishing, camping, bike riding and baseball. “The trip was a great learning experience. I saw much of the country I had never seen. In Can- ada, we saw a lot of bikers. They were everywhere and in one of the places we went through one of the roads was closed off so it could be used only by bikers,” Steve said. “It's a wonderful opportunity for any student.” VISA on Ea] force) Youmne FURNITURE GALLERIES 253-257 South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre Open Mon. & Thurs. 9:30 A.M. to 9 P.M.
