PAGE8 THE POST NEWS Sunday, August 27, 2006 HARVEYS LAKE FESTIVITIES There’s no place like home Harveys Lake resident John Radzwilla rides his wakeboard during a competition. Kianna Price was crowned "Little Miss Harveys Lake’ during a pageant at Sandy Beach. PHOTOS FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Members of the Kunkle Volunteer Fire Co. captured first place in a bucket brigade competition. undreds of people attended the second an- nual Harveys Lake Homecoming Festivities weekend at the lake. The three-day event fea- tured a variety of activities, including a pa- rade, a pig roast, a Little Miss Harveys Lake pageant, a marketplace, a boat regatta, musical entertainment, a fishing tournament and events on the water. A story and several photos appeared in last week’s edition of The Post, but we thought our readers would enjoy a few more photos from the activities. PIG ROAST © Continued from Page 1 for neighbors to get to know neigh- bors. “It’s kind of like a funeral for sum- mer, where the community comes to- gether,” he said. “We know that after the pig roast, school is coming and that means fall is coming, too.” Aside from good food, tons of enter- taining activities for the whole family also took place during the feast. Event goers did everything from ride ponies to get their faces painted to lis- ten to music. The most popular stand at the occa- sion, however, was the massage area. At one point the wait was up to two hours, according to attendants. Saneholtz who was in charge of the food said his involvement in the plan- ning of the event began about two months ago. He said others started even earlier than that. “We had about 100 volunteers frog the church out to help us,” he ) “Everything just went so well this year.” Last year during the event the mer- cury was rising close to 100 degrees, which made things a bit challenging so organizers were happy with the beautiful and tolerable weather dur- ing this year’s event last weekend. “It was just great food and great fel- lowship,” Saneholtz of Forty Fort said. “There were just a lot of neat people there you got to meet and talk to.” Miller said most people that attend still can’t believe it doesn’t cost a dime. “I think people enjoy it even more because it is free,” he said. “I think be- cause people don’t have to worry about paying it puts them in a better mood and in a better frame of mind.” PASSION Continued from Page 1 secondary education from the University of Scranton. “I think going to Ross is going to be a good thing. If I was staying in the States, I would want to continue my (dog) training. You can’t do both. You have to be focused. “I think being an older adult is going to be an advantage. I'm dis- ciplined. 'm not going to be wor- rying about going out at night and partying. I've already been there. I'm going to school for the education.” Banfield was hoping to attend veterinary school in the United States. But with only 28 schools in the country and more than 6,000 people applying each year for approximately 300 openings, the competition can be intense. The closest veterinary school to the Back Mountain is the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. “The criteria’s tough,” she said. “It’s not easy to get into any veterinary school. Ross is an al- ternative and a very good school. You go to school year-round and spend the last year at a stateside veterinary school for clinical work.” For more than three decades, Banfield has been training Ger- man shepherds in the field of Schutzhund. Originated in Ger- many, Schutzhund — protection dog - is a temperament test for German shepherds so only the best dogs can be bred. The dogs must be proficient in three phas- es — tracking, obedience and pro- tection — in order to be certified. It is estimated that only one in every 1,000 dogs qualify. “It’s a triathlon for dogs,” said Banfield, owner of Nikki Ban- field’s School for Canines. “I real- ly take a lot of pride in the train- ing. When I'm done with (veter- inary) school, I'll be back.” A few years ago, Banfield re- ceived an education outside the classroom when she spent five months living with a pack of wolves on the grounds of the Wolf Education and Research Center in Winchester, Idaho. The Sawtooth pack has been the focus of two documentary films on the Discovery Channel. “The old stories of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf can’t be any further from the truth,” said Banfield, who lived in a tent and spent weeks tracking every movement of the wolf pack. “They are the most loy: ing, caring — I know I'm using @ man words to describe them — bu they are the ultimate example of an extended family you can find. They're close-knit and they care for each other. It’s amazing how they care for each other as a pack. “It was a an amazing experi- ence. It was the best summer of my life. I really treasure the me- mories.” 7c TN DGEWAY'S at IREM All You Can Eat Breakfast Buffet Only $7.25 Complete Serving Every Sunday (Except Holidays) 8am until 1pm OPEN TO THE PUBLIC bh N REM GOUNTRY GLUB 397 Country Club Road Dallas, Pa 675-1134 Ext.231 Sicilian Style Pizza, oJTTR" [1 1.13 & Other Menu Items ZILY J EUCY Pizza Perfect 16 CARVERTON RD., TRUCKSVILLE Mon. - Wed. 4-10 PM * Thurs. 4-11 PM « Fri, | IAM-11 PM Sat. 12:30 - 11 PM * Sun.2 - 10 PM ~~ (3 CIVRVLTI TR LYE TY 1T.T TO [Ao 11] Irem's 3 Chefs Brian Kravitz, Laurie Knauer, Michael Wysocke 7 GSRADGEWAY'S at IREM Irem's 3 chefs bring a variety of experience, backgrounds and taste to the menu of Ridgeway's at Irem.
