on the heals of snow days and snow delays, winter sports and mid-terms. For those students who also study in any of the genres of the performing arts, whether it be dance, musical theater, voice, or acting, the pace becomes more intense. And yet, many of the young performers who are involved in their school musicals enjoy the excitement, the adrenalin, and the push. That’s because young performers have already learned how to juggle multiple responsibilities and deadlines. Just as athletes become introduced to sports through youth leagues in their elementary school years which act as feeder programs for junior varsity and varsity sports, so do young performers prepare for their big time -- taking to the stage. Local schools offer beginning sessions in gymnastics, tap, ballet, and movement. Children as young as four years old can experience one or more of these venues, which are generally 45 minutes to an hour in length at first, and most often two to three or even more times a week. And then there are students who are actively involved in their school chorus or band programs who want to experience a different genre to express their skills and talents. Many of them are involved in the school musical. The students that will perform in David E. Williams Middle School’s spring musical, “Millie, Junior,” which will be presented March 25 through 28, are already getting a taste of what it is like to handle their lessons, school work, and preparation for a musical. Even though they are only in seventh or eighth grade, they are eager to take on the challenge. Said Karen Prunzik, owner of Broadway Dance Studio and a veteran of Broadway herself, “I made the decision to do ‘Millie’ after seeing what talent I had to work with from last year’s show, ‘Bugsy.’ I knew I had strong dancers who could tap and I was determined to take advantage of that opportunity while I had it.” She continued, “The big surprise even for me was the production team’s choice to play the lead. A seventh grader, Alina Sheykhet, has been taking dance and musical theater at Broadway Dance Studio since ABOVE: These students from Broadway Dance Studio are not only involved in the school musicals locally, but are also in the midst of preparing for their studio’s spring show.

Williams Middle School, and has a number of students from Montour who study at her studios, it was a natural fit to bring members of the cast to her studio to practice. Even St. Malachy’s offered space in their convent to store costumes and props. “Lenora Nemetz, a Broadway performer who lives in Pittsburgh, is helping us with specialty choreography, too; we are blessed this year,” Tammy noted. She said that the students who study in the performing arts outside of school are disciplined in keeping up with their schoolwork in addition to their lessons in the studio. “They are dedicated. That is the word. They don’t like to give up their dance or performing schedules; however, sometimes they have to choose one or the other. I think just like sports, the students in theatre feel pressure but are driven by the passion for their chosen activity. And, these kids come to rehearsal ready to work and most days they pick up my spirits and energize me,” she pointed out. Robinson resident Chelsea Bartel is a senior this year. She has performed in every musical since her freshman year. Learning how to combine her schoolwork, lessons, and rehearsing/performing schedule has become easier with each passing year. And, she acknowledges that her training helps. “I have been training in voice privately with Sally Roddy for two years. I’ve learned how to sing stronger for solos, and learned proper breathing techniques so I don’t get out of breath as easily when I’m singing and dancing,” she said. A junior, Hope Anthony of Ingram is comfortable with the whole routine. Hope has been training in dance for 12 years and in voice for three of those years. She said she is inspired to be on the stage because it makes her feel good. Hope said she is grateful to many of her teachers, particularly those at Broadway Dance Studio, where she is currently studying. She plans to go to Point Park University and major in theatre, then try her hand at Broadway in New York City. Hope has had the added experience of performing in venues such as Idlewild Park, fairs, and her church. All of these experiences have had a benefit when it comes to performing on the stage, whether it be the school musical or something else. “I would like to say that if you want to major in theatre or anything, you need to get good grades, too. Take your SATs seriously and do your homework.” Just a bit of experience from a young lady who knows the rigors of the triple schedule -- schoolwork, training, and performing -- all too well. 0DUFK$OOHJKHQ\:HVW0DJD]LQH $OOHJKHQ\:HVW0DJD]LQH0DUFK 0DUFK$OOHJKHQ\:HVW0DJD]LQH BY KILEY BRADY 0ROO\cVf0+6f&XUHf)LQGHUVf2IIHUV0ROO\cVf0+6f&XUHf)LQGHUVf2IIHUV +RSHfIRUf&DQFHUf6XUYLYRUV+RSHfIRUf&DQFHUf6XUYLYRUV One of the most important lessons she learned in school didn’t come official group called the “MHS Cure Finders.” Mr. Price from one of Molly Finn’s many textbooks.

During homecoming week, several Montour businesses donated items and gift certificates to make a raffle basket. The Flowersmith donated flower arrangements and Studio Ten donated a picture package. Bella Christine’s Hair Salon donated a hairstyle, while American Commodore Tuxedos donated a tuxedo. Teachers and coaches have gotten involved too. In January, the group sponsored Coaches vs. Cancer during a Montour basketball game. They sold tee-shirts, bracelets, baked goods, and lanyards and passed a donation bucket through the stands. During the half-court shootout, the first four people to make a shot received a pizza donated by Score’s. One teacher, Mike Held, went above and beyond his educational obligations when he allowed the students to pay money to vote on a color to dye his hair. Molly says three months later the computer teacher is still walking around with bright red hair, mustache, and beard. The most successful of their fundraising efforts have been $OOHJKHQ\:HVW0DJD]LQH0DUFK the cancer bracelets made by the group members. Each bracelet is made of colored glass beads that represent a type of cancer. The bracelets are sold for $10 each and come with a paper that shows what type of cancer each bead represents. Pat Catan’s in McKees Rocks donated all of the materials for the group to make the bracelets. But Molly says it’s not always about fundraising. The “MHS Cure Finders” also want to spread awareness about cancer, give hope to those affected by it, and inspire others to make a difference. Their current project is a quilt that is made up of donated fabric patches that can be dedicated to someone who has been affected by cancer. Molly says when the quilt is finished it will be given to a cancer treatment facility. In the future, the group wants to make arm pillows to make chemotherapy ports more comfortable. When she graduates from Montour this year, Molly says she plans to go to medical school and become a doctor. “I definitely could see myself going into cancer medicine because I love to help people,” Molly says, explaining that she has learned so much as a volunteer at Allegheny General Hospital. An accomplished pianist and clarinet player, Molly is already on the road to success. She has the third highest grade point average in her senior class of 250 students. But for such a bright student, Molly was wrong about one thing. Sometimes all it takes IS one person to inspire others to make a difference.

They hunt, fish, and camp as much as possible, according to their mother, Lori Maxin. So it was a natural fit that when Joe decided to pursue his Eagle Scout award, he would choose something to benefit nature. For his project, Joe built bat houses and installed them along the Montour Trail. Bat houses are an effective way to combat bugs and mosquitoes, which is a great benefit to those who use the trail. Joe earned his Eagle Scout award in 2006. Now 20 years old, he attends Clarion University, where he is a junior secondary education/social studies major. This past November, Joe’s brother, Matt, who is a senior at Montour High School, followed in his brother’s footsteps. He pursued his Eagle Scout project with the same intentions -- benefiting the outdoors. For his project, he built wood duck houses to put along the Montour Trail. Since wood ducks do not make their own nests, others make them and fill the nests with nesting materials the ducks can use. Last November, Matt received his Eagle Scout Award as a member of Boy Scout Troop 301 in Robinson Township. Matt’s older brother, Joe, gave Matt his Eagle pin at the Court of Honor ceremony. As winter soon ends and as spring returns to the Montour Trail, those who use the trail can seek out the bat houses and wood duck houses, knowing that two brothers from Kennedy Township used their love of the outdoors and their respect for nature to turn their Eagle Scout projects into something useful for the region. As Lori said, “We are very proud of both boys; some people never get to have one Eagle Scout in the family and we are blessed to have two Eagle Scouts; what an honor.” Matt plans to attend CCAC after graduation to pursue training and a future career in the heating, ventilation, and air- conditioning (HVAC) field. The brothers are the sons of Scott and Lori Maxin of Kennedy Township and the grandsons of Carl and Anna Mae Maxin of Moon Township and Loren and Kathy Stanley of Greenfield, Indiana.
