Shavertown resident Jonathan Fendler, a junior at Wyoming Seminary Preparatory School, recently took first place in the school’s annual Oratorical Contest. His speech, which was pre- sented to the student body, traced some of the recent history of substance abuse in profession- al and amateur sports while recognizing the tension between athletic success and the lure of cheating by athletes to gain unfair advantage over their opponents. Fendler also questioned whether steroid use should be tolerated in American athletic culture. Juniors Sarah Vencloski of Shickshinny and Maxwell Anthony of Kingston were runners-up in the competition. A team of three faculty judges scored the students on their delivery, stage presence, logic in argumenta- tion and strength of supportive evidence.

The observ- atory is open to the public start- ing one hour after sunset on clear Mondays. If Monday is not clear, the observatory will be open Tuesday at the same time.
