Illusionist GIIC, also known as Gary Croniser II, began studying the art of illusion when he was eight years old. After entertaining family and friends for years, he had his first professional show at the age of thirteen. Gary has been performing since 1994 at fundraisers, variety shows, schools, libraries, business functions, churches and youth camps. Gary developed the persona of GIIC in 1998. He was born and raised in upstate New York, and has traveled across the country amazing people with illusions, mind tricks and amazing escapes. Gary is also a talented street performer who worked in inner city Bronx, New York while he earned a degree at Nyack College. His street performances were often used to build crowds for presentations for various groups. Gary and his wife Rebbecca live in Rome, New York. When Gary is not performing, he is creating his own original effects and learning new techniques to improve his skills. He is also developing a line of "impossible bottles."

Nature Walk: Life On The Forest Floor Once most of us leave childhood behind, we forget about the enchanting world of life, death, birth, and battle that is constantly taking place in the woodlands right under our feet. Entomologist and educator Stuart Slocum will re-introduce adults to that world and keep children interested in it for years to come. On August 16 at 2:00 p.m. he will lead a walk at Florence Shelly Wetlands Preserve, Thompson, PA called “Life on the Forest Floor” to study what he calls “the less obvious forms of life.” The insects that live in the soil and leaf detritus are important to forest ecology for many reasons. They break down organic matter, serve as food sources for larger organisms, and are natural controls of parasitoids, or organisms that kill their hosts. Normally hidden to all but the most observant eyes, flies, wasps, nematodes, millipedes, centipedes, slugs, snails, and other insects in various forms of life will be revealed as Mr. Slocum turns over rocks and sorts through leaf matter. He’ll also sift through layers of soil with a set of sieves, so walk participants can see how different forms of life live at different layers of the soil. Explorers of all ages will be fascinated by this macrocosmic look at the microcosmic world. Stuart Slocum is a retired educator who taught high school and college biology at Luzerne Community College and Mountain View High School, where he was also chairman of the biology department. He has an MS in Entomology from the University of Nebraska and writes a regular column about insects, “What’s Bugging You?” for the Susquehanna County Transcript. This nature walk is free of charge and no reservations are required. Participants will meet at the parking lot one mile north of Thompson on Route 171, where Stack Road intersects. Some areas of the trail will probably be wet, so protective footwear is highly recommended. For further information, contact Stuart Slocum at 570-756-2497.
