"2 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, September 27, 1995 B PLL Walktoberfest will circle Harveys Lake By LEN KRYESKI Sports Writer The 8.3 mile trek around Har- . veys Lake is familiar ground for ‘localruns and bicycle races. Fund raisers often target the scenic route as a means bo help raise money. ‘Those stopping by the lake this Sunday to help the local chapter * of the American Diabetes Asso- ciation need not be overly tal- “ented in athletic skills, however. . Walkers of all ages will gather at Harveys Lake for the annual ~ Walktoberfest. It's just one of may sites all over America that ~ will take part in the event. Participating walkers have been hard at work raising pledge money ~ for diabetes research and public ~ education. Over 300 walkers, some from the Bloomsburg area, .are already registered for this ~ Sunday's event. “We're expecting close to 500 “walkers,” said Erin Martin, re- . gional director for the associa- _ tion, “which is up from last year’s ‘350. We've had a lot more corpo- rate teams register this year.” In order to be considered for team status, a group must have a minimum of five walkers. Over 40 local teams are registered includ- ing The Hubs and Rooters, a group from the Back Mountain led by team captain Colleen O'Donnell. The cost of diabetes-related indirect medical expenses and indirect costs associated with the loss of productivity is more than $20 billion per year; about $1 billion in Pennsylvania. With those figures in mind the local chapter is striving to raise $35,000. In addition to people sponsoring walkers, the group receives money from corporate sponsors. The Thrift Drug store chain has do- nated a lump sum which will be divided between the 15 walks taking place in the common- wealth. The local chapter will be aided by close to 30 volunteers this Sunday, most of whom will handle the registration, accounting and information. The group has made strides to improve the check-in line and to keep the registration line moving. “We're also trying to make the walk more secure and ensure that one side of the road will be closed this year,” Martin said. “That was a problem for a lot of people last year, otherwise it's such a nice walk we don't get many com- plaints.” Everywalker whoraises atleast $50 receives an official Walkto- berfest t-shirt. All participants receive a morning breakfast, box lunch and a goodie bag at the conclusion of the walk. Rest stops will include an abundance of water, juices, fruits and light snacks. Prizes to be awarded include the team with the most members, the youngest walker, oldest walker, and first place finisher, awarded to the captain of the team that pledges the most money. Over 19,000 residents of Luzerne County have diabetes and over halfof those are undiagnosed. If you'd like to walk for the Ameri- can Diabetes Association this Sunday phone 823-3355 or 1- 800-254-WALK. You're encour- aged to pre-register by Friday, but you may enter at Harveys Lake this Sunday. Whether it's a lei- surely stroll or at a brisk pace you may walk as far and as long as you like. There is no minimum pledge. Walktoberfest will be held rain or shine. Check-in time is set for 9:00 a.m. with the walk getting underway at 10 a.m. Raffle aids trail project, delights winners -- By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff DALLAS - Buying araffle ticket from the Anthracite Scenic Trails Association (ASTA) turned out to be a wise choice for Dana Koval, who won a framed print of a white tail deer at the drawing, held at the Luzerne County Fair. “I've only ever won one other prize in my life,” said Koval, whose husband, Tom, and father-in-law, Joe Koval, love to hunt and fish. Joe Koval is a member of ASTA. She said she plans to hang the beautiful large print of an enormous buck, the raffle’s sec- ond prize, in her living room. The grand prize of a woman's mountain bike was won by O. Craft of Shavertown, while L. W. Ziolkowski of Dallas won the third prize of a weekend for two at Heritage Guest House in Dushore, the proposed terminus of the trail which follows abandoned railroad ; beds through the area. George Prehatin of Swoyersville won the fourth prize of a pair of Goretex boots, while fifth through eighth prizes of dinners for two at either Taste of Tradition or Hops and Barley were won by Sarah McKee, Rosemary Sigmond, Karen Belles and Will Conyngham. Hugh and Carol King won the ninth prize, a free 1996 ASTA member- ship. POST PHOTO/GRACE R. DOVE Dana Koval and Anthracite Scenic Trails second vice-president Jim Hawk show off the exquisite framed print of a white-tailed deer which Koval won in ASTA'’s prize drawing. The raffle raised more than $1,000, which will help pay for the design of the first leg of the Back Mountain Rail /Trail, which starts in Luzerne and presently ends behind the Kingston Town- ship municipal building in Trucksville. Plans call for it to follow the old railroad beds through the Back Mountain and Harveys Lake, through the former lumbering towns of Noxen, Stull, Ricketts and Mildred, eventually ending in Dushore. ASTA must raise $10,000 to pay for the design of the two-mile leg between Luzerne and Trucksville. For more information about ASTA or to join, call Judy Rimple at 283-9118.
