OnWednesday, May 20, from 6-8 p.m., don’tbe surprised if you see smoke coming from River-side High School in Taylor — it’s all part of theshow.Students and educators at the high school will
host the 10th annual “Riverside Alive!” festivalthat evening, giving community members thechance to seewhat happens in the classroom. Partof the eventwill featureRaku firing in the school’soutdoor courtyard by art teacher and event chairDenis Yanashot.“This is an exciting technique because the kiln
is fired to almost 2,000 degrees in the courtyardof our school and the ceramic ware is taken outwhen it’s red-hot and cooled in sawdust contain-ers,” he said. “It is certainly a crowd pleaser.”Riverside Alive! includes other activities
featuring other disciplines and, as Yanashot ex-plained, it evolved from focusing on the artisticdisciplines to a school-wide event.“I found if you give these students a chance to
take some responsibility in ahands-on experience,they will rise to the challenge,” he said. “RiversideAlive! turned out to be awhole-school eventwithmost, if not all, disciplines represented annuallyover the last decade. It is intended to reveal to thecommunity the techniques and sometimes uniqueways the teachers of Riverside teach the studentsin their charge.”The event has also become a labor of love for
Riverside High School teachers.“The teachers are not afraid to reveal to
the public the specialized techniques we usein the classroom,” Yanashot said. “The River-side Alive! mission is to educate parents andthe public as to what we do in class. This isan event of the heart and the teachers are notcompensated for it; they do it for the students,their parents and the public.”Besides Raku firing, this year’s RiversideAlive!
will also feature student demonstrations on howcomputer technology enhances both studies ofhistory and mathematics, as well as a computerfair, art exhibits, choral, musical and drama im-prov performances, a chili cook off and an “IronChef” competition. Science exhibits, foreign lan-guagewriting projects, poetry and reading projectswill be displayed and sports will be held in the
gym. Visitors can also try “Drunk Goggles” withthe Riverside drivers’ education program to seehow alcohol affects a person’s vision. Craftsman-ship, including furniture, clocks and other itemsfrom wood shop students, will also be exhibited.“Everything during Riverside Alive is interest-
ing — it’s hard to say what is more interesting,”Yanashot said. “I enjoy seeing the creativity ofour students demonstrated in every discipline,especially my own, which is art. Without creativ-ity, students will get nowhere in the 21st century.Developing process and problem-solving skills,imagination and creativity will secure a good jobfor students in the future and, consequently, afull and happy life. We, as teachers, are trying tohelp them accomplish these goals and RiversideAlive! is our way of showing the communityhow we do this.”

Editor’s note: The following candidatestatements did not appear in last week’s Vot-ers’ Guide because they were submitted afterlast week’s edition was published.
Clerk of Judicial RecordsDEMOCRATIC/REPUBLICANKevin HaggertyThere is no greater professional honor
than public service. How we arrive, how-ever, is more important than winningitself. I grew up in Dunmore and, today,looking back, I understandthe amazing blessing borninto my life. My mother andfather did not have every-thing, but my three siblingsand I never knew any differ-ent. Life was much differentback then. A family couldsurvive on one salary andthe family unit was stronger because of it.I want to change the shape and cul-
ture of not only this county but, one day,the culture of this country. I am a gradu-ate of Villanova University and I am aformer United States Marine. I servedas an inner-city teacher and youthful of-fender coach/teacher. My days growing upin Dunmore were far different than theseboys who were born into strife and, if thereis one reason I want to serve the public,it is to make sure that young people havesomewhere or someone to turn to.As a former state representative who
had his district gerrymandered away, I hadthe option to just throw in the towel. Butthat’s not who I am, and today I owe allthe credit to my wife, Jennifer, for stand-ing next to me during those difficult days.Not only is my wife strong for me, she is
also strong in her own professional worldand, most of all, in how she raises our
young children. I would not be affordedthe opportunity to run for office withoutan even stronger person behind me. I oweso much to my wife, Jennifer.I believe our communities should be
like family. In office, like at home, I wantserve everyone, and never just that smalllittle niche of special interest.I believe in the words “for the people.”
They aren’t just words to me. I also wishgood luck to everyone participating in theupcoming election on May 19.
Kim YenchoI am Kim Yencho and am a candi-
date for Lackawanna County Clerk ofJudicial Records. I am a graduate of Val-ley View High School,1997, attended Lackawa-nna College 1997-1999,and majored in elementaryeducation and am currentlyfinishing a bachelor’s de-gree in law and societyfrom Penn State Univer-sity. My hometown is Jes-sup. I’ve lived in Jefferson Townshipfor the past two years. My husband isMichael Potter and our son is Caden.My most recent organizations and expe-rience are as follows: Pennsylvania StateDemocratic Committee; LackawannaCounty Executive Committee; Coachesvs. Cancer NEPA Committee; Commu-nity Association Institute; CommunityAssociation Membership Committee; lob-byist for Community Association Institutein Harrisburg; Big Bass Lake CommunityAssociation committees: Fiscal Com-mittee, Adult Social Activities Commit-tee, Recreation Committee and StrategicPlanning Committee; AAU (AmateurAthletic Union) boys’ and girls’ basketball
Voters’ Guide 2015 — Addendumcoach; National Leadership Award; honor-ary co-chairman of the Business AdvisoryCouncil; Who’s Who Among AmericanCollege Students; NEPA Top 25 Womenin Business; and NCJAA District OWom-en’s College Basketball “coach of the year.”I hope my background and experience canshow the voters that I’m the most quali-fied candidate for this position. I want to
honorably serve the people of this county;therefore, my involvement with variouslegal documents, administrative experi-ence and a proven track record of being acommunity leader has prepared me for thisduty. If elected, I will insure all documentsare being processed in the most accurate,cost-effective way for the tax payers ofLackawanna County.

Vote for the team that:✔HAS A PLAN to Diversify the courses offered at Old Forge to include expanded Math, Physics and Art
Departments -- Courses based on student interest, state graduation requirements and college prep
✔HAS A PLAN to Provide an excellent benefit package to our employees that includes an employeecontribution. Free healthcare is unheard of in 2015. Especially when paid for by taxpayers and seniorcitizens who ALL pay for a portion of their own healthcare
FACT: Currently the district spends $1.4 million on healthcare for 115 employees
✔HAS A PLAN to Reduce the amount of money the district pays employees that choose to decline districtinsurance coverage
FACT: Currently the district pays a total of $232,000 among 25 employees for cost containment. Twoemployees are still covered by district insurance because a spouse works in the district. Those twoemployees alone receive a payout totaling $26,000
✔HAS A PLAN to Develop a cost saving alternate learning environment which will encourage studentsattending cyber schools and charter schools to return to the district
FACT: Old Forge School District cyber school cost for 2014-2015 is projected to exceed $250,000
✔HAS A PLAN to Examine special needs requirements and when possible offer necessary services on ourcampus rather than send students outside the district
FACT: Old Forge School District Special Education cost for 2014-2015 is projected to exceed $2.1 million

It’s a way to packa visual punch andit has now become away for local business-es to advertise withnewspapers ownedby Times-ShamrockC omm u n i c a t i o n s ’Community Newspa-per Group (CNG).Readers of the
Abington Suburban,Triboro Banner andValley Advantage willnotice the pristine,full-color, glossy, sin-gle-sheet inserts in thecoming weeks. Whilearea advertisers havebeen able to count onnewspapers for all oftheir needs, this newventure, which beganon Thursday, May 7,will give them thechance to put theirbusiness front-and-center.“It’s a low-cost, ef-
fective way to reachpotential customers,”said CNG advertising manager AliceManley. “Our community newspapersare inserted into the Scranton Times-Tribune every week, ensuring home de-livery. As an added bonus, the insertswill give advertisers the chance to zoneto a small area.”According to a study by Frank N.
Magid Associates for the NewspaperAssociation of America (NAA), 39percent on American adult internetusers favored print newspapers for re-ceiving ad inserts and fliers, a more-than-10-percent difference from thosewho preferred internet-based or mail-based advertising. Seventy percentof respondents said that they checknewspaper inserts to see what’s on saleor what other savings are out there,
and half of the overall respondentssaid that it is easier to peruse a print-based insert than to have to go onlineto discover sales, promotions or newproducts.While having the inserts makes
product- and service-hunting mucheasier for the consumer, Manley saidthat CNG aims to make the insert cre-ation process easier for the advertiserso it is a win-win for all.“We do all the work,” she said. “We
design, print and insert the ads, makingit a huge discount off the cost to directmail. If your insert is already complete,it is no problem. We will provide youwith a cost to insert only. We aim tomake this a great experience.”For more information or to schedule
an insert, call 570-348-9185.
