Each cabin will house eight campers plus two staff members. A campfire pit near the cabins and the hockey rink offers campers a real camp- ing experience. The camp is open for family events and a Sweet 16 party is being planned by an area family. For that, tents will be erected behind the Long house, just above an area used for sleigh riding in the winter months. A dining hall that seats 225 on premises is now operated by the Nutrition Group of Scranton. Campers use the dining hall on a daily basis and it can also be included in rental packages of camp facilities. A weather warning sys- tem was installed on top of the Long house last year and gives an 8-10 minute warning when severe weather approach- es. “That thing is really loud,” Evans said. “Last year we had a tornado warning and had to put all the kids in the basement. It has been a real bless- ing. Even the neighbors are grateful for it because they can hear it, too.” Evans wants the public to know that camp offi- cials are willing to work with any community group to meet its needs. “All they need to do is call me,” he'll said. “We'll work with anyone.” ocals named to dean's list at Wilkes University Gregory Heindel Trucksville Sarah Jones, Joshua Shaver, Thomas Weeks Tunkhannock Andrew Razawich, Tiffany Rule Wyoming Heather Abrams, George Behlke, Sara Bellanco, Zachary Jones, Amanda Kowalek, Sarah Maheady, Macson McGuirk, Rachel Miller SCHOOL BRIEFS LLHS CLASS OF 1998 REUNION Lake-Lehman High School Class of 1998 will have a 15-year anniversary reunion on Saturday, July 20.

Chef From page 1A Rodriguez, 28, of Covington, La., said the new opportunity present- ed itself quickly. “Honestly, it started off between Michael and myself as a joke,” the for- “mer Dakota Restaurant line chef said. “He said he was losing his sous chef and they were getting into their busy season. Jokingly, I said, ‘If you ever need a pair of hands, just let me know and I'll come out and help you out.” Langdon’s next mes- sage got the ball roll- ing and resulted in what Rodriguez calls “a really great opportunity.” “It’s a big step up in my career field,” he said. “It’s going from behind the line to essentially running the kitchen with him. It’s what I've been wanting to do. Since ‘Hell’s Kitchen,’ I feel I can really step up in my field.” The sous chef is the executive chef’s right- hand man who helps oversee staff and set standards for quality and administrative duties. “At the end of the day, hopefully, he’s going to leave here and become an executive chef. It’s my job to train him and be that,” Langdon said. Rodriguez said he con- nected very well with Langdon during the show, and the experience breaks down a typical bar- rier between chefs work- ing together for the first time. “You could tell that he really cared not just about what was going on in ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ but about the food. We were both like-minded there, and that’s why we really connected. We both knew that this wasn’t just about winning a competition. It Huntsville Executive Chef Michael Langdon, right, hired fellow ‘Hell's Kitchen’ Season 11 contestant Anthony Rodriguez as his sous chef at the private Dallas club. was about showing that we're legitimately talent- ed chefs,” Rodriguez said. He hopes to bring a fresh pair of eyes and “a little bit of southern fla- voring” to Huntsville. The Dakota is known for its fine dining and seafood fare with creole influences. “I have so many ideas on food, on dishes, on things I'd like to see. I think me and Michael working on a menu in the same kitchen is going to really change things out there. I know he’s got a great start on it, and I'm going there to make sure we put it over the top,” Rodriguez said.

The menu change was the third since his return from “Hell’s Kitchen.” “We kind of stick with the seasons and reap the bounties of the harvest,” Langdon noted. ‘Brotherhood of Chefs’ Rodriguez’s move to Northeastern Pennsylvania strengthens a connection between “Hell's Kitchen” Season 11 contestants.

The events offer a chance for resi- dents who aren't mem- bers of the private golf club to appreciate the tal- ents of the reality-show stars. I “It’s like the Brotherhood of Chefs. A lot of other chefs wouldnt want other people to come into their kitchen and have people come for their food. Our main goal is to help each other become successful and see each other have fun,” he said. “This thing at 279 is bringing people in; they get to see the area, and they get to do a fun tasting menu. A lot of them have said that they get treated so well when they come here.” The notoriety of hav- ing talented chefs visit NEPA also helps remove the stigma that the area’s culinary tastes are years behind the times. “There’s a lot of young- er great chefs in the area,” Langdon said. “I've seen the area shave years off the perceptions of food and take leaps into the current things that we're trying to do.” The experience also lifted both chefs’ confi- dence in their own abili- ties. “It really changed our outlook on the kitchen. It showed that we all love what we do, but this just showed there’s a lot that we can do,” Rodriguez said. Given everything the pair has been through, rest assured you won't find the Huntsville Golf Club on Ramsay’s other reality show, “Kitchen Nightmares.” “I think we’ll be good,” Langdon said with a laugh. * Eye Infections + Vomiting or Diarrhea » Torn toe nails or minor lacerations 80005734
