Congressman Carney said, “being accessible to the people of northeast and central Pennsylvania is one of my goals and I hope that people can take advantage of these opportunities to meet with my Constituent Service Director during these regularly scheduled office visits.” Anyone with further questions or concerns or who would like to schedule an appointment in advance, please contact Congressman Carney’s Clarks Summit office at 570-585-9988 or toll free at 866-846-8124.
Celebrate Youth With The Yanks The opening of baseball season is just around the corner. Once again, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees are teaming up with Susquehanna County CARES and other area non-profit groups to call attention to quality early learning initiatives with a game-day celebration of youth. “Early Childhood Day with the SWB Yankees” is May 15, at PNC Field, Moosic. The triple-A baseball team will take on the Charlotte Knights, but even before the first pitch at 1:05 p.m., the focus will be on children and their families. During a special pre-game ceremony, pre-school children dressed in career-themed costumes will march around the playing field in a “Parade to the Future.” Past parades featured children dressed in everything from firefighter outfits to baseball uniforms. The youngsters represent the future of Pennsylvania. Their families are involved in quality early learning programs across Northeastern PA. Studies show a child who receives a quality start before the age of 5 has a greater chance of success later in life. The “Early Childhood Day” is also a time to focus on Pennsylvania’s Promise for Children, because every child is Pennsylvania’s future. Part of that promise means supporting key quality early learning initiatives such as: Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts, a state program providing free quality pre-kindergarten to 11,800 at-risk children across the Commonwealth; Keystone STARS, a continuous quality improvement initiative and rating system for early learning and school-age childcare programs - studies show Keystone STARS has reversed a 10-year trend of declining quality in child care; Child Care Works Subsidized Child Care Program, which provides working families with assistance for child care costs and makes it possible for child care programs to serve children whose families could not otherwise afford care. Everyone is invited to share in the game-day excitement. A ticket includes admission to the game, reserved upper mezzanine group seating and a limited edition SWB Yankees hat as well as a Play Ball! game program. There will also be free admission to the Fan Zone before the game. Tickets must be purchased in advance by March 26. For more information about this special event or to order tickets, contact Stephnie Thornton from Susquehanna County CARES (Childcare, Agencies, Resources and Educational Services.) You may reach her by telephone at (570) 465-5040 or via e-mail at stcares@epix.net. Come and enjoy some great baseball while celebrating Pennsylvania’s Promise for Children, because every child is Pennsylvania’s future.
Competitions Help Students Prepare Talentedlocal high school students are invited to test their knowledge of physics, math and computer programming - and prepare for Advanced Placement tests - in three separate competitions at The University of Scranton. On March 30, the University will host its seventh annual Kane Competition. The contest functions as a way to encourage students to pursue careers in physics and engineering. “This competition serves to provide a level of excitement about physics. It gives students the opportunity to learn but is also an enjoyable experience,” said competition organizer Jeremy Sepinsky, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics at The University of Scranton. The timely theme of this year’s competition is “No Brakes,” where students in teams of five to seven will look at physics laws and determine how to use friction to stop a moving cart. Students will use a weighted pulley system to propel a cart across the Byron Recreational Complex with the proper initial velocity such that it rolls to a stop a specified distance from its launch point. Students will also compete individually for a $2,000 scholarship award to The University of Scranton in tests that include a Jeopardy-style quiz that focuses on general knowledge of mechanics, waves, optics and fluids. Questions on the quiz will be similar to those found on the Advanced Placement physics test. The 17th annual Computer Programming Contest will take place on April 16 at the University. The competition lasts four hours, during which each team tries to solve six computer programming problems using any of a number of programming languages. The greater the number of problems a team solves, the higher its ranking in the final standings. At an awards banquet immediately following the competition, plaques will be presented to the first-, second-, and third-place teams. In addition, each member of the winning team will be awarded a $500 scholarship to the Jesuit university. The University of Scranton’s Mathematics Department will hold its third annual Integration Bee on April 27.According to the department, an Integration Bee is like a spelling bee but contestants must calculate integrals instead of spelling words. Questions in the bee will help students hone their skills for Advanced Placement mathematics tests. In the first round of the bee, participants will complete 20 definite integrals. For each correct answer, contestants will receive one raffle ticket to be entered for prizes to be drawn. Five participants in each category will move onto the final round, which tests their aptitude with indefinite integrals. For more information about the Kane Competition, contact Dr. Sepinsky at sepinskyj2@scranton.edu or the department secretary at 941-7509. For information about the Computer Programming Contest, contact Robert McCloskey, Ph.D., assistant professor of computing sciences, at mccloskeyr1@scranton.edu or 941-7774. For the Integration Bee, visit http://math.scranton.edu/bee or contact Stacey Muir, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, at 941-6580.
