The oc- cupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology staffs of HASD coordinate the annual project. More than 100 special needs children in the HASD participated in the program with their guardians, aides and parents. The theme for the 2015 event was the movie “Frozen.” Misericordia students dressed in the cos- tumes of Anna, Elsa, Hans, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf for many of the activities. Under the direction of Jennifer Dessoye, O.T.D., O.T.R./L., assistant professor of OT, the MU students helped set up and run indoor and outdoor activities at the Eagle Rock ski slope. “We helped put a smile on a lot of faces,” said Dr. Dessoye. “It is a great opportunity for the Hazle- ton students to experience some fun and to interact outside of the classroom, and at the same time give the Misericordia students a feel for what it is like to interact with youngsters who have a variety of skill levels and needs. It is especially important for our sophomores who get a chance to see what it is like to work with special-needs students before they are placed in a clinical assignment.” The Misericordia University volunteers included sophomores, juniors, seniors and some fifth-year graduate students. Eagle Rock Resort fully embraced the project, and closed its ski slopes to the public for the morn- ing. Resort staff created special snow tubing tracks and snow tunnels, and provided engraved medals for the awards ceremony. In addition, Eagle Rock residents supplied snow pants and boots for the participants, and volunteered throughout the day.

  • Luzerne County, PA
    Earth Conservancy South Valley Corridor Lands, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania DRAFT FINAL REUSE ANALYSIS AND SUSTAINABLE REDEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Through support provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the SRA Team (SRA International, Inc. and Vita Nuova) conducted several research tasks to develop a regional analysis to support potential development of Earth Conservancy property. The SRA Team conducted a regional analysis to identify opportunities and constraints and to present a regional framework which would support redevelopment of the South Valley Corridor lands owned by Earth Conservancy. In addition, the SRA Team developed preliminary draft development concepts to showcase redevelopment opportunities which are supported by the regional market as well as the site location and opportunities. This analysis is one component of a comprehensive project to understand the economic history and trends of the region, market competition and potential for the area, and physical opportunities and constraints of the site. This analysis will 1) help the Earth Conservancy Board of Directors make informed decisions regarding the implementation of the 1999 Master Plan and the phasing of development and 2) provide the preliminary data and analysis from which developers/investors will make decisions. The following analysis reviews the greater Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton, PA Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) region for economic history and trends and market competition. The market potential focuses on the viability of developing the South Valley Corridor lands in the Wyoming Valley. This information was collected through qualitative (regional visit, interviews) and quantitative (data searches) approaches. PROJECT LOCATION/STUDY AREA AND PRINCIPLES The area considered in the reuse planning framework includes areas of the City of Nanticoke, Hanover Township, and Newport Township of the Wyoming Valley, which runs northeast to southwest in eastern Pennsylvania and which includes the cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.
