DENMON Staff Writer “Elizabeth Dodson Gray, femi- nist theologian and coordinator of the Harvard Divinity School, was the highlight of the Women’s Con- ference, Saturday at Penn State Campus,” said Co-chairperson Susan Davis of the Seventh An- nual Conference of the Luzerne County Women. “As the keynote speaker she held the 550 women and a few men spellbound while she spoke on the responsibility of women to chal- lenge the male dominance in soci- ety and to work together with them to try to preserve life on earth,” Davis continued. ~ Davis also explained that Gray said male dominance has become stronger through the years because of the myths of literature, and re- ligion used to reinforce male domi- nation. She emphasized that women’s role has to be recon- structed and they must work to- gether with the opposite sex. “She enumerated some of women's responsibilities such as the environment, saving the col- lapse of major institutions, engag- ing in civil rights, changing some ofthe Supreme Court rulings which are affecting low income people,” Davis stated. Following the opening speaker, the participants went to their choice of the 72 hour-long workshops, among the most popular being those dealing with sexuality, de- pression, stress, parenting and aging. Among the presenters of the workshops were Back Mountain women including Ellen Quinlan Bush, Margie Esopi, Linda Stal- lone, Shawn Murphy, Carol Hes- sion, Marlene A. Cacozza, Phyllis Belk of Penn State, Elly Miller and also state Representative Phyllis Mundy of the West Side. Carol Lavery of Shickshinny was one of the three women presented with the Pathfinders Award for her achievements in the Victim's Re- source Center on the local, state and national level. The Seventh Annual Women's Conference was dedicated to ‘We, the Women of the World uniting across cultural and socio-economic boundaries to create a drive and * direction that gives witness to the fact that we are intimately involved as nurturers, providers, laborers and much more. The world is neigh- bors, friends, people cooperating and interacting-uniting to create a broader sense of awareness of both global and local issues...together we will make a global impact.” Children of the Shavertown UMC to present musical show June 9 The children of the Shavertown United Methodsit Church, corner of North Pioneer Avenue and West Center Street, Shavertown, will present a musical production, “We Like Sheep”, during the 11 a.m. worship service of the church on Sunday, June 9.

One type tans your skin; the other type, which burns your skin, can also burn the retina and cause cataracts. When we are upright, our eyebrows help protect the eyes from direct exposure to UV, so we need only be concerned about reflected light. Water, sand, and snow can all reflect UV light into our eyes. Since there are no known benefitsto UV exposure, it makes good sense to play it safe and protect your eyes.
