Youth reading program concludes The Back Mountain Memorial Library’s “Donuts and Discussion” group for youngsters aged 10 to 13 recently concluded its 2003 summer program with the discussion of “A Wrin- kle in Time.” This successful program, conducted for the past four years by Janet Bauman, will be held again next summer. (Note: There has been some deviation from the original “donuts,” and nutritional snacks have been added. The “food for thought” remains con- stant: four outstanding books for young adults, researched by Mrs. Bauman, and selected by the participants.) From left, seated, are: Ashley Zerfoss, Hilary Grube, Katelyn Reinert, and Cara Olson. Standing: Marilyn Rudolph, Children’s Librarian; Tom Herrick, Greg Heindel, Dan Herrick, Kevin Price, Christian Szot, Mark Szot, and Janet Bauman, children’s library assistant. Oth- ers who participated in the program were Erica Johnson, Amy Heindel, Blanca Frederick, Ashlyn Van Deutsch, and Brianna Redding. Business (continued from page 6) quality of life. On the other hand, shopping centers, malls, and larger commercial struc- tures like those defined as “big boxes” have truly changed the dynamics of growth and devel- opment in the nation, including northeastern Pennsylvania. Look around the entire region and see the astonishing growth of these types of commercial structures and examine the means by which these develop- ment features have dominated the entire geography of the Pocono-Northeast. It means that even more attention needs to be placed on the future of small urban business districts. They need to be identified, studied, planned, and actions taken to make them more com- __ petitive. Perhaps, in some cas- es, the business district may never return to what it once was, but must adapt to new re- alities. To a large extent, Luzerne Borough achieved its change using techniques that are often part of a Main Street strategy without actually being a Main Street community. Throughout the Back Moun- tain are strengths that can be maximized for the benefit of the small business districts. Ex- amples include the trails being created in the area, the role of the two higher educational in- stitutions, the recreational base of places such as state parks, the recreational facility that will be developed in the near future and much more. All of these assets are key elements to enhance and encourage the building of a process that can lead to the business districts’ becoming a theme or attraction that will make them more re- ceptive to community develop- ment support. No business dis- trict can survive standing alone; it needs to be related to the surrounding characteristics and components that can help Back Mountain Senior Citizens The Back Mountain Seniors wish to announce change in meet- ing dates. Meetings will now be held once monthly, on the first Thursday of the month. meetings wills start at 1 p.m. and will be held in St. Thereses’ Hall on Pioneer Ave. and Davis Street in Shavertown. We will start to work on sleeping bags for the homeless at 12 p.m. before each meeting. For information call Lil at 696-1828 or Marie at 696-3095.

This is as true in the Back Mountain as it is anywhere else. One element that needs to be viewed carefully is the rela- tionship between so-called strip commercial development along Route 309 and the clus- ters of commerce that exist in the surrounding communities. Tying these various pieces to- gether into a mosaic of com- merce that meets the needs of this and future generations is an acceptable challenge for the current and up-and-coming leadership of the communities of the Back Mountain.
