Library news Auction totals are in and glans begin for next year - By NANCY KOZEMCHAK The Back Mountain Memorial Library also has ‘pink ladies’. A ' very coincidental thing, however, I have a lovely large color picture. hanging by my desk in the library, ' thanks to an ‘amateur’ photogra- . pher, Carol King. It's coincidental because, I de- ' cided to wear my pink dress to k one morning because I was i can to a luncheon, and as I drove Huntsville Road on my way to . the library, I noticed the cherry . tree on our lawn was in full bloom. ' I thought to myself, Marilyn, our . children’s librarian, has a similar . pink dress, wouldn't it be funny if - she wore hers today. Well, she did, I called Carol and asked what she - was doing, she said ‘painting my ' bedroom’. I asked if she had color . film in her camera and she said no and asked why. I explained the ~ situation to her and told her I only had 20 minutes before I had to ' leave the library. In 15 minutes she was here, int clothes and all, and took - eral shots of Marilyn and me in . front of the cherry tree. She was so . proud of the finished results, that - she decided to have the best shot . enlarged. She did, to a 20 x 30 . beautiful color picture and had it ' framed at Sue Hand's Imagery. . The picture is gorgeous and adds . so much to the office area and shows the library ‘pink ladies’ in ~ full color. Carol King is no longer for her dedication to our library and especially for this neat pic- ture. The final financial results are in from the 1991 library auction, thanks to our new treasurer, Sam Perry. The total gross was $63,000 with bills paid of $20,500, which gives us a net profit from the auc- tion of $42,500. This amount, however, is down from the pro- posed budget amount of $47,500, which gives us a deficit of $5,000 from the auction income. The book total for '91 was $12,638 compared with $15,969 received in '90; however, the block total for '91 was $37,926 and '90 was $37,864, with accounts re- ceivable in "90 of $26,139 and "91 of $28,382. Many other areas of the auction were down and ex- pense was higher which resulted in the decrease in profit. All in all, it was a successful auction; the first billing for accounts receivable is in the mail and we begin to make plans for 1992 and the 46th an- nual library auction which will be held on July 9-12,Thursday through Sunday, as we go back to a four day auction. | - New books at the library: “Rich As Sin" by Patrick Anderson is a passionate story of money and love, murder and revenge, one that will seize readers on its first page and hold them breathless until its shattering conclusion.

Triathlon (continued from page 1) sponsoring the team. Though Butcofski and Kuschke have gone as far as Virginia to compete in triathlons, they say that this is the big one they train or “In Virginia, you have a flat course and here you have all the hills,” said Butcofski. In Virginia, the swimming leg of the race was also done in a pool. Here, But- cofski figures he'll have the home court advantage, as his family’s boat house overlooks the swim- ming course at Harveys Lake. “The first few years, we did it individually,” said Kuschke. “I was never a good swimmer. The pros would be out in 17 minutes and I'd be in the upper 30's. We've always finished well under three hours. Now, as a team, we're hoping to do two and a half hours.” The event draws some of the best triathletes in the world, par- ticularly women competitors. Karen Smyers, defending world champion, Colleen Cannon, and Joy Hanson, all of the U.S. Na- tional Championship team, are scheduled to compete, as well as Canadian National Champion Carol Montgomery, Ironman Champion Erin Baker, and Paula Newby-Fraser, named the world’s top female athlete in 1990. Professional men scheduled to compete will include Mike Pigg, Wesley Hobson, and Rob Mackle of the US Championship Team. “This has to be in the four star category,” said Keith Martin, 44, of Shavertown. Martin, the news anchor for WBRE TV, channel 28, ought to know. He estimates he’s been in 50 to 60 triathlons in the past 10 years; and founded the YMCA Triathlon in Lancaster nine years ago. “This will be the fourth time I've done this one,” said Martin. “This * - one is very well organized.” “I think people feel comfortable in this one if they are doing it for the first time,” said Anne Holmes, of Shavertown, who teaches phy- scial education and health classes at Penn State Wilkes-Barre. Holmes will be swimming in this triathlon as part of a team - Mobile Holmes - with her brothers, David, of Baltimore, who will do the bicy- cling, and Thomas, of Scranton, who will be running. Previously she’s competed as an individual in the Wilkes-Barre tri- athlon for three years, and also the Lancaster, and Harrisburg triath- lons. And while she says that this the “most fun and well-organized,” it’s also got the toughest running course she’s seen. “The running course for Wilkes- Barre is the run from hell. I've never seen hills like that in se- quence. It's a tough one for me, there's so many hills, but I won't have todoit this year,” said Holmes, sounding somewhat relieved. All of the competitors say that the triathlon provides a focus for ‘For Len Barcik of Dallas, doing a triathlon was like learning three new sports. “I played baseball and jogged,” said Barcik who ran his first tri- athlon three years ago in New Jersey. “I never ran track or biked too much.” Barcik and two co-workers from the Proctor and Gamble plant in Mehoopany having been working out together. He, Cathy Bourque and Stephen Hacker, both of Tunkhannock, will compete as in- dividuals. “To me it's about setting a goal, going out and accomplishing it. and it’s also good for my health,” said Barcik. “Leading up to it is kind of a social thing. It's an ac- complishment when it's done.” The thrill of competing with Olympic-class athletes helps make the triathlon special to Butcofski and Kuschke. “You have a couple of thousand people waiting for you and they're wishing they could do that,said Butcofski. “And when you cross the finish line the announcer says Frank Butcofski, or Bob Kuschke of Harveys Lake.” For Martin and Holmes, the competition is more personal. “I'm not competing with anyone but myself,” said Martin. “There's Triathlon schedule The 10th annual Greater | Wilkes-Barre Triathlon will be Sunday, Sept. 1. The following is a race sched- ule: 8:30 a.m. - The 1,500 meter swim, nine tenths of a mile, will start at the Harveys Lake Beach Club, near the Fish Commis- sion’s boat launch. to be finished at 8:48 a.m. The 40 kilometer, or 25 mile, bicycle leg of the race begins. The bicyclists will race along the long hills of Noxen, Kunkle and Dallas Township to College Misericordia in Dallas, the bi- | cycle finish. The rcutes include the Alderson-Kunkle Road, Ca- talpa, Demunds, Orange, Lake Louise , and Hildebrandt roads. 9:30a.m. - Lake Street access to College Misericordia will be | closed. Access to the school will § be limited to Elmcrest only. 9:50 a.m. - The first bicyclist is expected to finish. The 10 kilometer run course, over 6 miles, will be along Lake Street, Country Club Road, Route 415, 42nd Street, and East Center Hill Road, Lake Street, and the college, the final finish. 10:30 a.m. - The first overall finisher is expected. a big difference between running a | five minute mile and running an eight minute mile, but believe me, I'll be just as happy to cross the finish line as they are.” “I have a laid-back approach. It's just for my well being, not driving myself to injury,” said Holmes. “I think what keeps me going during an actual competi- tion is rooting for the other people, and they return the support.” : Besides getting in great physi- cal shape, training helps in other ways according to Butcofski. “It gives you a great peace of mind,” he said. “You're out on the bike for an hour and a half. You have a lot of time to focus yourself for life in general. If you don’t have your head in the game, you're not going anywhere.” BELL HOME FURNISHINGS 95.97 SOUTH MAIN ST.
