6 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, September 22, 1993 PSU book group begins season Sept. 27 Penn State Wilkes-Barre's in- formal discussion series, of great literature, Great Books at Hay- field, begins its 10th year on Monday, Sept. 27, 7 p.m., in the Hayfield House Community Room on the campus in Lehman. The series is open to all who enjoy reading great literature, and refreshments follow each discus- sion. A play by modern French au- thorand playwright Albert Camus, Caligula, will be the topic of the first meeting, with discussion led by John Jarecki of Glen Lyon. As a writer with an existential- ist philosophy, Camus was con- cerned with the dilemma of the individual who must establish an identity for himself and find meaning for his life in a world in which he is essentially alone. In Caligula, the Roman Emperor used his unlimited powers to explore the outermost limits of freedom, and in so doing, he al- ienates himself from all mankind. Eventually he realizes that by destroying everything about him he has also destroyed himself. On October 25, E.M. Forster's novel, Howards End, will be the topic of discussion, and on No- vember 22, Shakespeare's drama, Othello, will conclude the fall sessions of the series. For more information on Great Books at Hayfield, contact the Campus at 675-2171. NE PA Writers' Club seeks poetry, stories The Northeastern Pennsylvania Writers Club is currently accept- ing submissions from writers throughout northeastern Pennsyl- vania for publication of its upcoming Anthology '93, a 100- page book of short stories and poetry to be published in Decem- ber, 1993. The anthology will be similar in format to the club's first publica- tion, N.P.W.C. - Anthology '90, which featured 15 short stories and 14 poems by regional writers and quickly sold out at local book- stores in early 1991. That book featured works by four writers from the Back Moun- tain area: Deloris Selinsky and Beatrice Romanowski of Shaver- town, and Marie Stolarick and Barbara J. Vivian of Dallas. Selinsky penned a short story entitled The Tree, which the edi- tors called a “deceptively simple tale of an easy-going retired gen- tleman who is tormented by his domineering spouse.” Stolarick authored a poem, Moja Mamusia, which was described as a “moving affirmation of the bonds of maternal love.” Romanowski's contribution was a poem: National Cemetery, Pi- nelawn, Long Island, New York, while Vivian had two poems selected: Embrace and Fiesta. N.P.W.C. - Anthology ‘93 is being published with assistance ofa grant from the city of Wilkes-Barre, in association with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Guidelines for anthology sub- missions are available by calling 823-0786 or 287-3094. The Writers Club meets on the first Monday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Hoyt Library, 284 Wyoming Ave., Kingston. Local writers, published and unpub- lished, are welcome.

'A TASTE OF THE VALLEY' TICKETS AVAILABLE - The planning committee for the 8th annual “A Taste of the Valley” food exposition to benefit local citizens with mental retardation and their families recently designated eight key chairpersons to coordinate the distribution of 5,000 tickets for this year’s event October 3 at the Kingston Armory. The greater Back Mountain area is being coordinated by Gary Rice. Pictured during the ticket distribution meeting, from left are, Hilda Whitby, general ticket chairper- son; Lillian Alinikoff; Back Mountain ticket chairperson Gary Rice, Melissa Saxon, Janet Ou and Robert Shemanski. J Tasty tickets available in Back Mountain A variety of Back Mountain businesses have volunteered to serve as ticket distributors for the 8th annual “A Taste of the Valley” food festival being held October 3 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Kingston Armory to benefit programs for local citizenry with mental retar- dation and their families. Gary Rice, “A Taste of the Val- ley’s” 1993 Back Mountain chair- person, reports the following local businesses are serving as this year’s ticket outlets: e Precision Litho-Graphic Print- ers, Dallas Corners Bldg., Dallas e J & J Deli, 659 Memorial Hwy., Dallas e D.H. Oliver Foods, 550 Me- morial Hwy., Dallas » Grotto Pizza, Rte. 415, Har- veys Lake e Hillside Farms, Hillside Road, Trucksville Rice reports that many com- munities still need ticket distri- bution points, “so we urge local businesses—groceries, hardware stores, hair salons, newspaper stands, taverns, restaurants, pharmacies and other concerns with frequent patrons—to assist in this major fund-raiser that helps finance new and ongoing programs at ARC.” This year's “A Taste of the Val- ley” will feature an array of inter- national cuisines, with tasty samplings being served by chefs and food specialists from North- eastern Pennsylvania's finest restaurants, food and beverage suppliers. The menu includes a variety of soups, salads, pastas; vegetarian dishes, entrees, breads, desserts, beverages and much more. Rice emphasized that purchas- ing tickets in advance represents asubstantial savings over the gate admission prices of $12 for adults and $6 for children 8-12 years old. “With the advanced tickets, adults and children save nearly 20% and senior citizens 33%. And children under 8 years old ac- companied by an adult will be admitted free to the food fest,” he said.

Audubon will take Hawk Mountain field trip Everyone is invited to join the Greater Wyoming Valley Audubon Society's fall field trip to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary on Satur- day, Sept. 25. Many of the Soci- ety’s best birders will be on hand to help novices identify the many kinds of hawks soaring past the Sancturary’s lookouts. Depending on the weather we can expect to see Broad-winged and Sharp-shinned Hawks, Os- preys, American Kestrels and, maybe Bald Eagles. For those - willing to make ashort but strenu- ous hike, the North lookout af- fords unforgettable views of hawks soaring at and below eye level. The South lookout is more easily accessible and still offers a ringside seat to one of this area's most spectacular sights, the fall migration of the hawks. There is a small fee which covers use of both lookouts and all the trails at the Sanctuary. Hawk Mountain Sanctuary also has a visitor's center which fea- tures lectures every half hour on a wide range of topics and a gift shop which boasts an impressive selection of nature books. Those wishing to join the trip should meet at the Blackman St. K-Mart parking lot, near the highway at 8 a.m. on Saturday, September 25. The trip leader, John Jakoby, will be happy to answer ques- tions; he may be reached at 474- 5884. Bring a lunch (there is no food available at the Sanctuary) and your binoculars for a day of birding at its best.
