ಶುಕ್ರವಾರವೆಂದರೆ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ದಿನ. ನನ್ನ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಗೆದ್ದೇ ಗೆಲ್ಲುತ್ತೆ..” “ಅಯ್ಯೋ..ಮೊದಲನೇ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಏನಾಗುತ್ತೋ ಏನೋ?” “ಹೇಯ್ ನಮಗೆ ಆಡಿಯನ್ಸ್ ಪಲ್ಸ್ ಗೊತ್ತು ಬಿಡ್ರಿ ನಮ್ ಹೀರೋಗೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆ ಮಾರ್ಕೆಟ್ ಇದೆ ಜನ ಬಂದೆ ಬರ್ತಾರೆ ನೋಡ್ತಾ ಇರಿ ಹೌಸ್ ಫುಲ್!” ಹೀಗೆ ಥರಹೇವಾರಿ ಆತಂಕ, ಅಹಂ,ಆತ್ಮವಿಶ್ವಾಸದ ಮಾತುಗಳಿಗೆ ತೆರೆಬಿದ್ದು ಶುಭ-ಅಶುಭದ ಮುನ್ಸೂಚನೆ ತೋರುವ ದಿನ ಶುಕ್ರವಾರ. ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಲೆಕ್ಕಾಚಾರಗಳು ಪಲ್ಟಿ ಹೊಡೆದು ಶುರುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸೋತಂತೆ ಕಂಡರೂ ದಿನಸರಿದಂತೆ ಗೆದ್ದು ಬೀಗಿದವರೂ ಉಂಟು. ಇದೆಲ್ಲದರ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ನಟನೆ- ನಿರ್ದೇಶನ ಎರಡನ್ನೂ…

TUNKHANNOCK — About 300 students participated in this year’s Special Olympics in Wyoming County. The annual event included students from Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Wyoming, Wayne, and Pike Counties.
Organizers say about 100 student volunteers were involved in the event.
For high school senior Maggie Sohns, it was a bittersweet day as she helped out with the events.
“I really like interacting with the kids. They’re so much fun and they’re just here for a good time,” Sohns said.
The Tunkhannock Area High School senior has been involved with Special Olympics since the fifth grade. This year’s event will be her last. Sohns graduates from high school this school year.
“It’s definitely bittersweet. I’m excited for what next fall brings, but this is definitely really sad to say goodbye to this,” Sohns said.
Student volunteers say it isn’t just a fun-filled day on the track, it’s also a day to help classmates and those with disabilities.
“It brings me a lot of joy getting to see the kids so happy doing something they can’t normally do other than now,” student volunteer Courtney Yuhas said.
Yuhas and her buddy Jennifer Morrison participated in the track events together.
