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

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

improve business conditions.
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.
