He plans to become a surgical tech. “I'm an outdoorsman,” he said. “This stuff interests me.” At an all-girl table, Christy Conway, 17, of Shavertown, had no problem doing the dissecting. “I like taking things apart. It was the same in biology class.” The group dissecting eyeballs was also able to look at a set of healthy lungs and compare it to a set of diseased smoker lungs. In a classroom next door, Max Needle, who joined the Da Vinci Center in Febru- ary, demonstrated brain sensory activities. Needle’s humorous approach helped him establish a rapport with the students as he conducted activities focused on vision and reflexes. He used several students to dem- onstrate a few experiments before letting them loose to explore the room’s activities. _.. Students wore special glasses which mimicked eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. They also test- ed their reflexes in a variety of ways. Nell Adams, 17, of Dallas, liked an activ- ity in which she had to negotiate a maze with her eyes closed. She said, “It was hard Classmate Liz Dillon, 17, of Dallas, was surprised by a reflex activity that involved catching a tennis ball. “It was harder than it looked.” DaVinci Science Center. models with removable anatomical parts with grant money and more activities are planned.

The story is different for Greg Williams, owner of Studio 309 Music Antiques and Col- lectibles, who said his business suffered tremendously during the bridge reconstruction. Williams rented a building on the corner of Main and Cen- ter Streets that he lived in as an 18-year-old just two weeks before the bridge closed, not knowing about the construc- tion project. “We suffered dearly and pa- tiently,” he said. “We depend entirely on retail traffic and the only accessibility to our build- ing was through the back door.” Williams added that he was forced to sell a lot of his mer- chandise at area flea markets and on Ebay during the bridge project. Of the bridge itself, however, he said, “The bridge is gor- geous. It looks fantastic and has done a lot to improve the infrastructure of Shavertown.” Susan Collini, of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Ltd. at the intersection of Center Street and Route 309, mirrors Nause’s comments. “Although it was difficult for people to get into the center, they did figure out a way to get here,” she said. “We didn’t face the same challenges the retail folks did.” Collini does, however, feel the Main Street/Center Street intersection was safer than ever during the bridge reconstruc- tion. A 3-way stop sign had been installed at the intersec- tion during the project, slow- ing traffic in all directions. Now that the bridge has re-opened, the third stop sign has been re- moved. “I've seen so many near ac- cidents at that intersection before the 3-way stop sign was installed,” Collini said. “It’s a dangerous intersection. We have actually petitioned the township to put in a 4-way stop sign.” As for the completed bridge project, Collini said, “It’s won- derful. It’s been a long time coming.” She commended the workers and their attention to detail. “I know it was a lot of money for the township but it was well worth it.” Skammer has already purchased human BEAUMONT Continued from Page 1 way. A 3,000 square foot patio will overlook Leonard's Creek which runs behind the inn and will feature outdoor dining, light entertainment and a venue for parties. New patio furniture has been ordered and a space near the patio has been cleared for games like croquet and bad- minton. Crediting the Harkins family for the reputation enjoyed by the Beaumont Inn, Friedman said, “Beth ran it and it had an excel- lent reputation. I hope to con- tinue the tradition they started but take it a notch farther.” He added that Sunday Ten bedrooms on the second floor have all been remodeled, each one featuring a different theme but all with the tradi- tional country look. brunch, which was a tradition at the Beaumont Inn for years, will continue. Friedman’s incentive to re-open the Beaumont Inn came from guests attending weddings at Friedman Farms which, he said, is nine minutes from the inn. “Wedding guests are always asking me where they can stay in the Back Mountain when they attend a wedding at the farm,” he said. “As you know, there are no hotels in the Back Mountain. Now, they will have somewhere to stay.” 4G
