Will Ted Jackson be back?

Dallas School Board votes, 8-1, to open head football coaching position.
HELLO, SANTA
Ted Jackson Sr. said his emotions are being pushed around after the Dallas School Board decidedMondaynighttoopenthelongtime high school football coachs position. Im upset, Im angry, but Im not going to make any hasty decisions, he said Wednesday of his future plans as a coach. He did not say whether he will reapply for the Dallas position or coach else- Jackson where. The boards decision came as a shock to many, but some board members said the choice was in the best interest of students and the community. The board spent a lot of time looking into the situation, said board president Catherine Wega. It was not something done on the spur of the moment, and I think we all voted our conscience and did what we thought was best for the kids. The board decided to open the position in an 8-1vote, with board member Bruce Goeringer the lone opponent of the measure. Jackson has held the position of head football coach at Dallas for 27 years with just one losing season, but those years were not free of scandal. The football program has been on probation for the past four years by the District 2 Athletic Committee, a local branch of the PIAA. The first two years were for a fight during a game in 2008, and the last two were tacked on after an incident in which Dallas players urinated on the tennis courts at halftime during a game against Tunkhannock in 2009. Wega said the issue at hand did not concern any one specific incident but rather several occurrences over the course of the last few years. It in no way is an easy decision, said board member Karen Kyle. Im very much aware of the impact Ted Jackson has had on the lives of his players after 27

Businesses think outside box to survive in stale economy

Some local merchants are re-tooling their businesses to attract customers.
You need to have a product to distinguish yourself, she said. With a little creativity and some risk-taking, several businesses in the Back Mountain are doing just that. Taking on a declining market Cooks Pharmacy in Shavertown hopes to compete in a market that has declined in the past few years video rentals. The pharmacy held a grand opening on Dec. 2 of its new video rental section that features about 300 movies for customers looking to see a friendly face while browsing the latest titles. Meagan Simkulak, public relations coordinator for Cooks, was having trouble finding a popular movie one day, and she and Frank Lombardo, owner and pharmacist at Cooks, got to talking about the lack of rental services in the region. The idea is that you cant find a place to rent videos anymore, said Lombardo. Theres something neat about going to rent movies from a store. My family and I used to love to go. Cooks Pharmacy is already
In tough economic times, small businesses are busting beyond boundaries in order to compete with big chain stores by expanding their original business plan with a little creativity. Lynn Banta, chairwoman of the Back Mountain Economic Development Council, said expanding upon initial business plans is necessary in todays economy. I think its vital. This is a tough economy, she said. Ive started many businesses over the years, and this is the toughest Ive ever seen it. You have to be willing to think outside the box, and take it when it doesnt work and figure another way to do it. She said small businesses often cant survive on just a local market, and they need to expand their businesses to stand out among the competition.
more than just a neighborhood drug store the business sells trinkets, gift wrap, books and other retail products. Lombardo, who learned about running the retail business from his father, said its important to focus on the customers experiences, not just sales. I enjoy the creative side of business, he said. We strive to create an experience for our customers. Selling more than products Just a few miles away along Memorial Highway, Wild Birds Unlimited in Dallas touts education as one of its businessdefining characteristics. The nature store is a national franchise that sells birdseed, birdhouses and other goods for backyard bird and wildlife watchers. When owners Craig and Karen Yarrish opened the store eight years ago, they sought to not only make those interested in nature well-equipped, but well-educated, too. The franchise does say to be involved in the community, but we went a little bit farther, said Craig Yarrish.

Meagan Simkulak, marketing director at Cooks Pharmacy, sets up the new movie rental addition at the store in Shavertown.
The local store offers between 50 and 75 free or lowcost informational programs a year, ranging from an in-house presentation on gardening to live animal demonstrations by local environmentalists to bird watching excursions at Frances Slocum State Park. Most programs are free and if there is a cost involved, it usually just covers supplies. For example, the store hosts many activities for children throughout
the year, including making pine cone feeders. We really strive to have all programs held for free, said Yarrish. We may get charged for it, but we want (people) to feel free to come and not be stopped by a fee. Yarrish said spreading the word and finding a solid customer base is difficult for small businesses, but it can be done

Waste takeover means savings

Customers will pay less with DAMAs new solid waste collection program.
The Dallas Area Municipal Authority approved its budgets for 2012 on Dec. 8, resulting in a net savings for customers due to its takeover of solid waste collection. Solid waste and recycling customers will see a $30 decrease per household per year because the authority is preparing to switch from utilizing contracted services to maintaining its own system. Sewer customers will see a $20 increase per household per year in services. Larry Spaciano, executive director of DAMA, said this is attributed to costs incurred during tropical storms Irene and Lee as well as other upcoming projects. DAMA serves Dallas Borough and Dallas, Jackson, Kingston and Lehman townships. The average household currently pays $260 a year for solid waste collection and $330 for sewer fees. Spaciano said the authority had been mulling the idea of self-collection about six months prior to making a final decision on the matter. The board approved the measure in July. Nine full-time employees have already been hired for the new program and the
authority is currently waiting on the delivery of four 30-yard garbage trucks and one 10-yard truck via the states purchasing program. Spaciano said the board also plans to hire three or four more part-time employees, as well. DAMA most recently contracted J.P. Mascaro & Sons, based in Audubon, for solid waste collection. Spaciano said in the past there have been service issues with various contracted collectors. Our primary focus is providing the best possible service to our customers, said Spaciano. The program is set to begin on Jan. 2. Spaciano said there are a few changes for customers, including a switch in the recycling pickup schedule. He said the program will include single stream recycling, which means any type of recyclable material such as glass, paper, aluminum and plastic, can be mixed in bins. Recyclables will be collected every other week. Spaciano also said special arrangements, such as collection services for customers with long driveways, will no longer be available for insurance purposes. Its going to be a little bumpy in the beginning, but were going to advertise these changes to ensure theres a minimal impact, he said. In other news, the board also changed its meeting schedule for 2012 to 7 p.m. every second Tuesday of the month.

Marilyn Glogowski, Lake-Noxen Elementary School Principal Nancy Edkins and Ross Elementary School Principal Donald James, were recognized because their schools met state requirements for adequate yearly progress. Individual schools are awarded AYP only if requirements for attendance, academic performance and test participation are met for two consecutive years. McGovern said Lake-Lehman is one of only three districts in the area to have all its schools meet the requirements. The other school districts who received AYP locally are Crestwood and Dallas.

MU students offer food aid to Noxen residents

Fueled by a desire to make a difference in the region, the Misericordia Campus Ministry has organized a year-long community outreach program to assist those in need in the nearby community of Noxen. The community, approximately 11 miles from the MU campus, has a significantly lower income level compared to the national average and a higher percentage of residents and families living near or below the poverty level, according to data provided by the 2000 U.S. Census. Community services in the small rural community of approximately1,630 have been stretched by governmental budget cuts and recent flooding caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee that did severe damage to the local roads and infrastructure. Student volunteers are providing much-needed assistance to a variety of organizations and populations in their neighboring community. Spearheading and coordinating the effort is Misericordia student Chelsea Mixon, a social work major from Bethlehem, who has undertaken the Noxen project as part of an internship with the Social Work Department. Just a few weeks into the academic semester, Mixon immediately stepped in and helped coordinate student volunteers who assisted with flood clean-up efforts at dozens of homes in the community following Tropical Storm Lee. Chelsea was a God-send during the flooding, says Rev. Linda Bryan, pastor of the Noxen United Methodist Church. If it wasnt for her helping bring student volunteers to our area, people would still be trying to clean out their houses. Mixon is also working with Pastor Bryan, coordinating student volunteers each week at the Pastors Food Pantry where an average of 60 to 80 families in the region are served each month. She also assists Pastor Bryan on visits to elderly homebound residents of the region and is coordinating assistance from students in the health science majors, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing and speech-language pathology, as needed. Under Mixons direction, Misericordia volunteers also helping organize and sort clothing at the communitys Clothes Closet, a clothing bank set up by the Community Development Corporation of Noxen, Kunkle and Ruggles, located in the Old Schoolhouse Building. Mixon and a group of students recently filled a van with clothing from the Bloomsburg area and delivered it to the Clothes Closet as a part of their volunteer efforts. Misericordia students Sarah Munley 13, an early childhood and special education major from Vernon, N.J., and Alina Busch, a social work major from Waldorf, Md., have also established an after-school tutoring program in grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 at the LakeNoxen Elementary School. The tutoring takes place on Mondays and Tuesdays throughout the semester. The Misericordia University

chapter of Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society recently held a book drive on campus and plans to donate a portion of the books to the flooddamaged Noxen library along with two others in the region that were affected by the recent flooding. More than 1,000 books were collected during the one-month effort and will be distributed to the Noxen and West Pittston libraries and the library of the
flooded Holy Rosary School in Duryea. Mixon says the student outreach in the Noxen community will continue throughout the spring semester. One of her goals is to increase the level of help to the library and clothing bank, services desperately needed in the small, rural community. According to 2000 U.S. census data, the median income for a family in Noxen Township was
$35,833, compared to $50,046 in the U.S. The per capital income for the township was $14,488, compared to $21,587 across the country. In the community, 13.8 percent live below the poverty line, compared to 9.20 percent nationally. The rate of individuals in the community who live below the poverty line is 17.1 percent, compared to the U.S. rate of 12.4 percent.

Residents and the surrounding community enjoyed a bit of holiday cheer at the annual Irem Country Club and Masonic Village Open House on Wednesday, Dec. 7. Local musicians and artists displayed their talents, including the Lake-Lehman Junior/ Senior High School chorus, student artists from an honors art class from Lake-Lehman and former local Meghan Davis, a harpist and singer. The open house was a little different than previous years because, according to Joy Hubshman, marketing manager for Irem, it was the first time artists and musicians were asked to participate. This is the first time, but judging by the reaction, we might make this an annual event, she said. Next years will be bigger and better. Lake-Lehman chorus director Greg Riley, of Wyoming, brought about 20 out of more than 100 student singers to the event so they could gain performance experience.

It gives them a performance opportunity, and the experience is invaluable, he said. This is also great community outreach for the chorus and the school. The students sang some old holiday favorites like Baby Its Cold Outside as well as recent Christmas songs like All I Want for Christmas is You made popular by Mariah Carey. Mikayla Orrson, of Lehman Township, loves to sing because its an outlet for self-expression. Getting out into the community means a lot more than just doing it in class, she said. Brian Orbin, 13, of Dallas, has only been singing for about three years but its quickly become one of his favorite hob-
bies. His favorite song to sing is Careys poppy holiday song, which first hit the charts in 1994. In addition to the chorus, six Lake-Lehman honors art students displayed their work during the event. Seventeen-year-old Raine Scott, of Sweet Valley, brought a few of her best pieces for the art show, including silhouettes of her favorite characters. This is Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, she said of the cutouts. I really love the books and movies, and Im very interested in mysteries.

As the chorale students began to sing, Mary and Mark Walters, residents of the Masonic Village, finished their lunches. Mark Walters said its not the first time Irem has held events like this for residents, and he couldnt be happier to participate. They hold lots of get-togethers throughout the year, he said. In the summer, there was a picnic with fireworks. The couple has only lived in the retirement community for about a year after moving from the Lehigh Valley, but Mark Walters said the friendly and respectful community reminds him of days gone by. (Moving here was) the best thing weve ever done, he said. Their friend Peggy Exter said there are activities for residents within the village at least once a week. There are a lot of opportunities for kids to get together with older people, she said. The event also featured tours for potential residents. Those interested can inquire about tours and rates by visiting www.masonicvillagespa.org/ dallas.

MOMENTS IN TIME
By Samantha Weaver It was American inventor and businessman Thomas Alva Edison who made the following sage observation: "Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work." If youre planning a trip to Peru to ring in the new year, you might want to bring along some yellow underwear. In that country its considered lucky to wear it on the first day of the new year. Another story to add to the file on clueless criminals: In 2010, two men in Portland, Ore., went to a supermarket and started removing price tags from items and filling their backpacks with the loot. However, they didnt even make it out of the store with their ill-gotten gains. It seems that the would-be crooks decided to do their shoplifting during a "Shop With a Cop" promotion, and there were 60 police officers already in the store -- in uniform. You may be surprised to learn that the Statue of Liberty is not located in New York. While it is on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, its technically within the territorial waters of Jersey City, N.J.

NBLT cites volunteers Bucks, Kaufer

North Branch Land Trust recently held its 15th annual holiday gathering at the Appletree Terrace in Dallas. Executive Director Paul Lumia gave an overview of the Land Trusts conservation work over the past year, along with an update on projects in process. The highlight of the evening was the awarding of NBLTs Volunteer of the Year awards. This years recipients were Zack Kaufer and Melody and David Buck. Kaufer holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Studies from Kings College and is pursuing his Masters Degree in Water Resource Management from Deakin University, Geelong, Australia. He is currently employed by GAI Consultants as an environmental specialist and is an avid scuba diver. He received The Land Conservation Volunteer of the Year Award for his volunteer assistance in monitoring many properties conserved by North Branch Land Trust. Melody and David Buck started their environmental volunteerism in the 1970s and 80s in the Stroudsburg area, helping to establish the Tannersville Cranberry Bog Preserve and volunteering with the Nature Conservancy. David Buck worked on the Monroe County Open Space Planning Commission and presided over the Pocono Audubon Chapter and Pocono Citizens for Conservation. After relocating to Sugar Run along the Susquehanna River in Bradford County in 1998, the Bucks started Endless Mountain Outfitters, a canoe and kayak sales and guiding business. They are actively involved with the Endless Mountains Heritage Region and have helped organize countless river festivals, trips and sojourns. David is the Susquehanna North Branch Water Trail manager, Susquehanna Greenway Coordinator and was awarded the Pennsylvania Trail Advocate of the Year in 2010 from the American Trails Association. The Bucks received the Volunteer of the Year Award for their continued support of the Land Trusts mission and commitment of volunteering time to many events, committees and activities. As is becoming a tradition at NBLT, the organization no longer bestows physical awards such as plaques upon its Volunteer of the Year award recipients but, instead, makes a donation to a deserving non-profit in the names of the honorees. This year monetary gifts will be made by NBLT to EarthWatch on behalf of Zack Kaufer and to the Oldest House in Laceyville on behalf of Melody and David Buck.

Dallas swimmers split meet with Abington Heights

Abington Heights came to Dallas on Tuesday with many more swimmers than the Mountaineers had but the local boys team garnered a 105-81 victory. Dallas won 11 of 12 events, including each individual race, to cruise to victory. Marcus Wagner (200 free, 500), Jake Chielli (50 free, 100 fly) and Brian Stepniak (100 free,100 back) were each victorious in two individual and two relay races. The Mountaineer girls put up a good fight but wound up on the losing end of a 100-84 score. Kaylin Augustine paced a first-place finish in the 100 fly and the 500 free, leading Dallas to a win. Mountaineer Sarah Zerfoss posted a 228.05 on the diving board. Caitlyn Barry had the fastest finish in the 200 free and the 100 free.

ment, effects on nearby wetlands, site management, site safety and mud and debris on roads. An existing issue related to mud and debris on roads during the construction of the pipeline concerned resident Mary Rodriguez. She offered several photos to the board, some of which engineering consultant Mick Goodwin recognized. Goodwin said it is ultimately Williams responsibility to solve runoff issues, but storm water facilities have not yet been constructed. He added there have also been complaints from the state Department of Environmental Protection about this issue. Other concerns for residents included the age and condition of the Transco interstate pipeline, the companys safety practices, whether the metering station is in compliance with the zoning ordinance and its proximity to nearby houses, schools and other buildings. Mike Dickinson, manager of technical operations in the Appalachian basin for Williams, said there will be automatic shutoff valves at the tap site between the Dallas and Northmoreland townships metering facilities and elsewhere along the pipeline. He said pipeline activity is remotely monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by Williams employees in Tulsa, Okla. Resident Norm Tomchak said officials from the Transco line, which is owned by the same company as Williams, should offer testimony because they will be designing, operating and maintaining the site. He had numerous questions about the Transco pipelines condition and oper Authorized the advertisement of the following bids for the 2012-13 school year: art supplies, athletic medical supplies, boiler maintenance, caps and gowns, computer supplies, custodial supplies, diplomas and covers, fall sports supplies, fuel, general art supplies, general office supplies, health room supplies, home economics supplies, industrial arts supplies, band supplies, music curriculum supplies, physical education supplies, rubbish (trash removal), science supknew what we would become.

sate tanks will instead be located at a site about eight miles away in Northmoreland Township, Wyoming County. Gallagher said the company is requesting the board review the site as a public utilities services, as it will be constructed, operated and maintained by the Transco interstate pipeline. The Springville Gathering Line, set to be completed this month, taps into the Transco line in order to send gas flowing from wells in Susquehanna County to market. Gallagher said Transco, which is owned by two parent companies that also own Williams, is labeled as a public utility. Gallagher said the facility would also be an accessory to the current pipeline. Bradford said about $135 million has already been spent on the project, and $10 million was spent on the existing Northmoreland Township site. The company must also follow stipulations negotiated with the township. Earlier this year the company signed an agreement with township officials stating the metering station, if approved by the zoning hearing board, would need to have only the equipment necessary to measure the gas. In addition, the company could not build any other natural gas facilities within a 1.75mile radius of the school district campus. Gallagher said if the metering station is denied, that radius goes away. Residents had questions about storm water manage-
You have stated in your case to the zoning hearing board that, should your application be denied, the agreement you made with Dallas Township would be null and void. I call that intimidation. The way you present yourself troubles me and the way you strong arm our local government, leaving their hands all but just about tied.

ations, which he said have resulted in a lot of I dont knows. Their knowledge would be invaluable, he said. The Transco line was built in the township in 1958, but Williams officials have said some areas have since been replaced. Williams representatives were also grilled on the companys system integrity plan, which sets a standard for safety in all Williams midstream operations. Williams senior counsel Raj Basi said most of the practices and inspections are federal and state regulations, but some reflect the companys best management practices. Inspections included smart pig inline inspections every seven years, pipeline inspections performed on foot twice a year, inspections on valves at least once a year, weekly air patrol inspections and cathodic protection interval surveys about once a year. Resident Wayne Dottor said the fact that there will be two pipelines tapping into a third pipeline, the risk of explosion should be greater and farther reaching. He estimates his home to be between 1,000 and 1,100 feet from the site, and plies, sports equipment reconditioning, spring sports supplies, student accident insurance, temperature control and winter sports supplies. Exonerated the following individuals from payment of their 2011 per capita tax: Emmett Roy and Violet Milbrodt of Noxen due to excessive medical expenses and income purposes.

said the third pipeline poses a danger to him and his family. Resident Kim Jacobs had questions about the Transco aspect of the project, but also told Williams representatives she felt the company was using intimidation to get approval. You have stated in your case to the zoning hearing board that, should your application be denied, the agreement you made with Dallas Township would be null and void. I call that intimidation, she said. The way you present yourself troubles me and the way you strong arm our local government, leaving their hands all but just about tied. Resident Jim DeMichele had concerns about criminal activity of pipeline workers, and asked whether Williams plans to hire Pennsylvanians for its operations. Gallagher said Williams recently partnered with a natural gas technician program at Lackawanna College and the company plans to hire more locals in the future. In certain areas, such as welding, at the beginning there wasnt sufficient experience in Pennsylvania, but thats not the long-term plan, said Gallagher. ... Seventyfive percent of local operators are Pennsylvania residents, and the numbers only going to grow in future. After the opponents testified, Gallagher presented closing arguments. Residents and Williams have until Dec. 28 to submit findings of fact and conclusions of law based on the testimony and will have until Jan. 4 to respond to those documents. The board will meet in midJanuary to deliberate and make a final decision in the case. A hearing that was scheduled for Thursday was canceled. and the store now plans to expand to offer crafts and goods made by local artisans. This has given us a broader customer base, said Hepner. There are more opportunities for people to do things because there is more than one thing to do, more than one thing to experience. Hepner sees a greater demand for locally-made unique gifts,

and hes proved it. As a small business, one of the hardest parts is to let people know youre out there and keep that flow of new customers, he said. Eight years ago nobody
an Internet business. Owners Mary Hepner and Theresa Novak moved to an old antique barn on Overbrook Road in Shavertown five years ago and havent stopped growing since. The chocolatiers opened a store to sell their homemade chocolates and then a caf to sell savory dishes, too. Not long after Ah! Some Chocolates began to host exhibits for local artists,
and she said the chocolate is part of that demand, too. We meet people who cant afford a storefront, cant afford a huge retail business, so we offer to share space with (them), she said. Its a small way to market their product (and) a great way to give them an opportunity and expand our reach as well. She said setting the shop apart from most other stores in the area helps Ah! Some Chocolates success. In this economy you have to be creative, you have to be looking for the next way because youre competing against the big box stores, said Hepner. Branching out for survival Newell Fuel Services in Trucksville is a company that wears many hats, from home heating fuel provider to offering self-storage units in the Back Mountain. Russ Newell Jr. said the companys many branch businesses, including convenience marts and heating and air conditioning services, have all stemmed from the original business his father started in 1958. Newell said expansion of the business was a necessary part of survival, especially as the economy and society continue to change. If we were to just sell heating
oil, wed be in pretty rough shape, he said. Its gotten very expensive and other heating sources have taken over. Weve expanded in the gasoline market and diesel fuel much more than heating oil now. Reaching beyond the region Banta said its important to think beyond geographical boundaries, too, as an instant gratification inclined society has changed the way goods and services are bought and sold. You can get on the Internet and find whatever you want, and most of the time its shipped for free, she said. If the local business wants to grow their business, they need to be creative and respond to this and have their hand on the pulse of changing times. Newell Fuel Service has expanded over the years to serve eight counties, and Ah! Some Chocolates still has a large Internet presence and ships chocolates all over the world. Lombardo said evolving within the Back Mountain promotes growth, as well. As a customer, Id like to see new things so you know the business is growing and the community is growing, he said. Were always reinventing ourselves to stay ahead of the curve.

Hundreds came out to support Jackson, and the meeting venue had to change to the Wycallis Elementary School cafeteria to accommodate the crowd. Other than the hundreds of people who came to the meeting, I think Ive had about 300 or 400 people contact me and tell me
how Ive helped them, said Jackson. Its very overwhelming. I had people call me from California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Philadelphia. Superintendent Frank Galicki said he couldnt comment on the issue, but did say that he and high school Principal Jeffrey Shaffer and Athletic Director Nancy Roberts met Wednesday to discuss the job position description for advertisement purposes and the timeline for hiring a coach.

Barone receives national scholarship

Nicholas A. Barone, of Dallas, a speech-language pathology (SLP) graduate student at Misericordia University, was awarded one of 12 prestigious national scholarships by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation at the annual Founders Breakfast in San Diego, Calif. The ASH Foundation scholarship is the second significant award Barone has received in 2011. He was awarded the 2011 Von Drach Memorial Scholarship by the Pennsylvania Speech-Language-Hearing Association (PSHA) at the 52nd annual convention in Pittsburgh in April. As part of the ASH Foundation competition, students had to complete an application, write an essay and also obtain reference letters. At Misericordia University, Barone is known as an exceptional student who performs in the top 1 percent of his class in academics and clinical coursework. Barone has maintained a 4.0 grade point average at Misericordia University and has conducted research on fluency disorders, autism, stuttering, cluttering and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with Kathleen Scaler Scott, Ph.D., C.C.C.-SLP, an assistant professor of SLP at Misericordia University. Together, Dr. Scaler Scott and Barone have presented their research findings in poster presentations at the 2010 and 2011 PSHA conferences, and they co-delivered a lecture on linking disinhibition to disfluency at the 2010 American Speech-LanguageHearing Association National Convention (ASHA). Barone also explored the benefits and limitations of YouTube in the context of telerehabilitation with Hunter Manasco, Ph.D., C.C.C.-SLP, an assistant professor of SLP at Misericordia University. Their research was later published in the fall 2010 issue of the International Journal of Telerehabilitation. Barone was listed as the second author. His second graduate assistantship in the MU program required him to work extensively with Glen Tellis, Ph.D., C.C.C.-SLP, professor and chair of the SLP Program at Misericordia University. They worked on a survey to

help in the development of strategies on how to deal with bullying for teens who stutter. Barone also compiled and analyzed results of a nationwide study on how prepared clinicians are to treat stuttering and participated in a joint study with the University of Pennsylvania using diffuse correlation spectroscopy to measure cortical blood flow in people who stutter. He assisted in a recent peer-reviewed publication for this study. Barone recently completed his graduate thesis under the mentorship of Cari Tellis, Ph.D., C.C.C.-SLP, an assistant professor in the SLP Department at Misericordia. The focus of his thesis is determining normative values for the true vocal-folds body cover conditions to aid in defining perceptual voice quality measures in typical speakers and people with voice disorders. He recently presented his research as well as other studies he has conducted with Dr. Cari Tellis at the World Voice Symposium in Rome, Italy. Barone will receive his Master of Science degree in SLP from Misericordia University at the inaugural mid-year commencement ceremony in December. He recently completed two fieldwork placements in the Otolaryngology Department at Johns Hopkins Rehabilitation Hospital in Baltimore, Md., and at the Dallas School District. Barone plans to pursue his Ph.D. in voice disorders upon graduation from Misericordia University.
