PAGE6 THE POST SCHOOL Local residents named AP Scholars Sixteen residents of the Back Mountain are among the 51 cur- rent students and recent gradu- ates of Wyoming Seminary who have been named AP Scholars by the College Board in recogni- tion of their exceptional achievement on the college-lev- el Advanced Placement examin- ations. Approximately 18 per- cent of the more than 1 million students who took the examin-, ations merited such recogni- tion. Five students from the Back Mountain qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. The stu- dents are Andrew O'Hara, Dal- las; Aaron Richterman, Dallas; and Daniel Rittenberg, Shaver- town; Ross Feinstein, Shaver- town; and Andrew Rogers, Trucksville. Six students from the Back Mountain qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of those exams.

Comedy night raising money for Katrina victims College Misericordia’s resi- dence life staff will hold its sec- ond annual Cougalive, a Satur- day Night Live-style perform- ance, at 9 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24 in Walsh Auditorium. Admis- sion is $2 and tickets will be available at the door. All pro- ceeds will benefit the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund. The show will include a num- ber of skits, musical perform- ances, and plenty of laughs all written, performed, and pro- duced by College Misericordia students. The community is en- couraged to attend. Last year, more than 200 peo- ple attended CougaLive, which raised $750 to assist the flood re- lief for the people of Guyana. This year’s goals include raising more than $1,000 and having more people attend the show. Members of the cast include Katie Biesecker, Melissa Clem- entoni, Bobby Decker, Ashlee Doss, Brandy Freeland, Ed Hamm, Erin Kennelly, Renee Lavin, Dillon Lockwood, Justin Lukasewicz, Dana Pienta, Jen- nifer Rafalko, Brian Ulrich and Jason Yoder. Other members of the staff who helped with fund-raising in- clude Paul Fetzer, Laura Kitner, Krista Koch, Joe Pipitone and Liz Yaracz. Kristen Boustead heads the fund-raising effort and serves as the stage manager. Re- nee Lavin is the publicity direc- tor and Dana Pienta is in charge of the props, set, and costume design team. Jeffery Dietz is the media and technology coordina- tor and the skits were written by Justin Lukasewicz, who will al- so serve as producer. SCARECROW Continued from Page 1 “Last year when they went through the maze I was getting so nervous because they we- ren’t coming out,” Lisa said. “Then they finally came out along the edge somewhere.” Field said his family opened its pumpkin patch to the public three years ago. “You get a better return than if you were whole selling,” he said. “It’s a fun type of busi- ness.” The Whistle Pig Pumpkin Patch, located off Route 29, is open to the public every Satur- day and Sunday from noon un- til dusk. Group outings can be scheduled for other times, as well. Hayrides are free, pumpkins cost 30 cents a pound, gourds are three for a $1 and the corn maze is $3 per person. “We charge extra for the bumps,” said Field as the trac- Po itt, LN > $ finsen Mattresses Ractory Direct , rll serge * Comfortable Prices : $159.00 ; p « Queen Sets o 19 West Side Mall ‘ $199.00 ¥'¢ Edwardsville, PA 18704 - 570-288-1898 ¥ > tor pulled the wagon of people through dip and divots. Another young child, 3-year- old Erik Antolik — who was wearing a Thomas the Tank En- gine T-shirt — said he had a good time feeding the goats. Erik and his mother, Lori An- tolik of Nanticoke, went to visit his grandmother, Noxen resi- dent Elaine Dombowski, for the day and decided to head to the pumpkin patch for some fun. “Mom, what’s this,” Eric asked while holding up a gourd. His mother replied that’s a gourd, like Thomas’ friend Gor- don. After a few minutes of ex- ploring through the patch, Erik settled on a green and orange pumpkin he had to carry with both hands. Orange T-shirts bearing the Whistle Pig Pumpkin Patch name were also on the market for $9, as well as some baked goods and apple cider from the Grassy Ridge Orchard. The orchard is owned and op- erated by Mark Field, Joel’s brother. Kyle Lavelle of Wilkes-Barre said he came to the pumpkin patch because his mom made him. He and his brother, Chase Button, 3, each made a scare- crow while at the patch. “Mine is a boy and I named him brother,” Chase said while jumping around in a pile of hay.

And the setback had a huge emotional impact. “It was a devastating to the en- tire family,” said Shirley Craw- ford. “We never thought that it wouldnt be successful and we had no idea the (negative) effect it would have on Chris’ body.” The failed transplant changed Crawford’s antibodies, signifi- cantly decreasing the possibility of finding a suitable donor. “We've been told it might be like finding a needle in a hays- tack,” said his mother Crawford has lived with kidney problems most of his life, having been diagnosed with renal failure — a slow and progressive loss of kidney function — at 8 months old. Although the medical prob- lems kept him away from playing contact sports, Crawford was a Little League all-star baseball performer for the Astros in Back Mountain Baseball, Inc. and a goalkeeper for the Lake-Lehman soccer team. “It never slowed me down,” he said. “I never really thought about it. I would go for a checkup every six months and that was about it.” That began to change earlier this year. “I was a little more fatigued, but I didn’t have really strong symptoms,” said Crawford, who visited his parents last weekend. “But my (creatinine) level in- FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK When he pays a visit to his parents’ Ross Township home, Chris Crawford enjoys helping his father Len work on antique cars. “I've been overwhelmed by the number of people who have stepped up to the plate. It means so much to me. | can't find words to thank them.” = Chris Crawford creased to point where they start- ed working on finding a donor.” A host of family members and friends — from a former room- mate to a female bartender in Hackensack — have stepped for- ward to help. Unfortunately, they've all been ruled out as donors for one rea- son or another. “I've been overwhelmed by the number of people who have stepped up to the plate,” said Crawford. “It means so much to me. I can’t find words to thank them.” : A suitable donor for Cra needs to have type O-positive or O-negative blood. Before the surgery can be per- formed, the prospective donor must undergo blood tests, a CAT scan, and several meetings with doctors. In the meantime, Crawford must endure 3 hours and 15 min- utes of dialysis treatments every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Dialysis treatments artificially re- move waste from the blood, a job normally performed by the kid- neys. And despite the longer odds of finding a matching donor, Craw- ford remains optimistic. “I'm confident someone can help,” he said. “It’s just a matter of time.” CARAWAY Continued from Page 1 most nine months ago. The first Sunday the Red- monds attended the Dallas Bap- tist Church was the first time Ca- raway Street was performed. And they immediately fell in love with it. “It’s so joyful to see the look of sheer happiness on the faces of the kids when they're watching the puppets or singing,” said Red- mond, whose sons Chase, 9, and Bryson, 6, attend the periormari, es. “Being able to teach a child about Jesus is the greatest thing a person can do. It’s a wonderful program.” And Redmond isn’t the only liever in the program. 4 “It’s been so much better than what I expected,” said Branch. “T'll never look at puppets — ac- tually I started calling them little people — the same way again.” "Promotional Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 4.10% applies to the promotional Premium Money Market Account opened with a minimum deposit of $25,000 in “new” funds not currently on deposit with KNBT or its affiliates and must be linked to a new/existing KNBT Relationship Checking Account. 4.10% APY is accurate as of 9/6/05 and is guaranteed through 12/31/05 on new money deposits between $25,000 — $250,000.
