by Stephanie LongoCNG EDITOR

It was a chance to practice what some mightcall a dying art and learn about the UnitedStates at the same time.Students in Shirl Caboot’s first-grade class

at Riverside Elementary West recently wroteletters to people living in various states as away to integrate their social studies and lan-guage arts classes. Students were challengedto find someone they know in as many statesas possible and, as Caboot explained, the stu-dents met that challenge head-on.“The integration of both subjects seemed to

mesh,” Caboot said. “The excitement grew asthe students chose a family member or friendwho was living in Pennsylvania or anotherstate. The letters spanned 14 states, from Mas-sachusetts to Florida and New Jersey to Wyo-ming.”Caboot said that once the student letters

had reached their designated recipients, thechildren began to hear from them via text,email, Skype and phone.“The students were anxious to come to

school to announce how they got a response,”Caboot said. “Each student took pride in his orher accomplishment. This project broadenedthe children’s understanding of land size, suchas towns, states and countries, when discussingthe addresses on the envelopes.”One student, Haley Skoranski, received a

reply from her aunt, who lives in Clifton Park,New York.“Thank you for the nice letter you sent me,”

the letter read. “I looked on my map and sawwhere you live also. We are lucky to live inthe United States of America. Your printingis very good. I hear you like school, so keep up

the good work and always do the best you can.I’m proud of you.”Caboot said that letters like the one Haley

received help foster the educational processbecause it personalizes the children’s learningexperience.“Whenever students take a learned skill and

follow through on it independently, it becomesa huge success,” she said. “When students are

engaged and have ownership of a project, theyacquire more knowledge than expected.”A planned visit through Skype will happen

within the next few weeks where the class willread a story to a preschool class in Barnegat,New Jersey. Students are continuing to receiveletters and are continuing to write letters toother friends and family members throughoutthe country.

SportSTaking the Reins

Kate Fox succeeds husband as Lady Vikes baseball coachby Dave LaurihaTRIBORO BANNER WRITER

Kate and John Fox still share the samesoftball dugout at Riverside, as they havethe last three years, but there was one dif-ference for this season. In 2015, instead ofJohn being the head honcho, wife Katenow is the head coach and her husband isan assistant.It hasn’t really affected the program, as

the Lady Vikes have begun the season fair-ly strong and seem to be improving as theweather gets warmer, handing both HolyCross and Mid Valley their first losses inLackawanna League Division III play.“The season is going very well. We

started out of the gate quick with two winsover Lakeland,” Fox said. “We ran intosome trouble with Dunmore and Carbon-dale, but hopefully we’ve put that behindus with a big win over Holy Cross, 10-0,and we beat Mid Valley [on Monday].”What has helped is there really hasn’t

been much of a transition with the coach-ing change. Kate doesn’t notice too muchof a difference from the past three years.“Not much, just more of the day-to-day

stuff,” Kate said. “Last year I was an assis-tant to my husband and we ran it like itwas a joint program. It felt like I was a co-head coach over the last three years and Ithink the girls look at me that way, in thatrole, so there wasn’t that much of a transi-tion going from assistant to head.”There was one other important thing

that ties in with making the change feelcomplete.“These were the first girls we had, they

were freshmen [when we took over],” Foxsaid. “We came in together, and we’vecoached them the last three years, and heis still on the staff as a volunteer. It’s beena very smooth transition.”There was no reason to believe it

wouldn’t be that way, no cause for undueconcern.“Not really, because of the way we’ve

worked in the past,” Fox said. “If I had adifferent role last year, I may have hadmore worries going in, but the girls lookedat us last year both as head coaches and

this year they look at me as the headcoach. But I don’t think the girls lookat the hierarchy. As far as practice goes,I feel we’re all equal and we all have thesame say and we all do the same amountof work.”What it all comes down to is the pro-

gram is stable, with everybody on thesame page, even through a season like thisone where the weather put a beating onthe early-season schedule, forcing gamesto be moved around. Familiarity has paidoff, and that was never more evident thanin the victory over Holy Cross, when theLady Vikes could have panicked.“Any win makes us feel good, but they

are a powerhouse of a team,” Fox said. “Tome, it was more important to bounce backfrom the loss to Carbondale. We lost twogames in a row and we had a good practiceat a practice they had called themselvesbecause they wanted to really work on alot of things. That showed a lot of charac-ter, to bounce back.”It also shows the players understand

what’s expected from them and that theydidn’t have to be told they needed morework by their coaches.“We are a very tight-knit team, and

that’s what I preached to them just theother day,” Fox said. “I said we’re witheach other more than they are with theirown families, they have to look at eachother like sisters and I’m the mom. Some-times we don’t always agree, and we don’talways get along, but we have to work, andhave to pull our weight and do what weneed to do to make us succeed.”So far, it has been working for the

Lady Vikes, who have shown they havethe ability to play with the best teams inthe Lackawanna Division II and expect tomake a run at a District 2 title.What is certain is that Kate Fox has

taken over as the head coach of a promis-ing program, and made it look as easy asshe says it has been. They hope to put to-gether a long run at winning a District 2title and qualify for the state playoffs, butthere remain too many significant gamesbefore anybody can start thinking aboutpost-season play.

Holy Cross and Mid Valley will be itch-ing to meet the Lady Vikes again, but withFox keeping the team steady and readyfor all comers, anything may be possible.They’ve all grown together over the pastfour years, with Fox still in the dugout byher husband, only now she’s the one hold-ing the final decision on things.

Cancer AnswersA column from the NE Regional Cancer

Instituteby Patricia LawlessSPECIAL TO THE TRIBORO BANNER

When undertaking something likepainting a room, buying clothes or gettinga new car, it is routine to get lots of input.We may try different models of cars, ask ourfriends for recommendations and do a lotof research. If buying a new coat, especiallyan expensive one, we might bring a friendalong. When painting a room, we “audi-tion” a number of colors and techniques.All of this can be forgotten when faced

with a serious medical diagnosis like cancer.Many people may not realize how neces-sary a second or even third opinion maybe. Cancer treatment, like the treatmentfor many serious illnesses, can be complex.Many doctors specialize in one area of medi-cine. Getting another opinion can providenew or additional information and enableyou to make a more informed choice.Second opinions are routine for many

cancers. Second opinions are important ifsomeone has a rare cancer or illness, if thereis a new treatment recommended and whentreatment is completed. Second opinionsshould be sought if a patient has been toldthere is no lifesaving treatment available.Also, a second opinion is suggested if youare not comfortable with your doctor ortheir recommendations. A second opinionmay validate what has been recommended,remove any doubts, answer questions andpossibly change treatments.Patients should learn as much as they

can about their diagnosis. The Internet canprovide lots of background information andmany of us use it often, but it is never to beused as a second opinion.Many people think that asking for a sec-

ond opinion is disrespectful to their doctor.They can be afraid that the doctor will beangry or hurt. Most, if not all, doctors arecomfortable with the request for a secondopinion and expect it. You will want to besure your insurance policy covers anotheropinion. But, in fact, some insurers require asecond opinion before treatment can begin.Where do you go for a second opinion?

First ask your doctor to recommend anotherdoctor or a specialist. Your health insuranceprovider will also have resources for findingsecond opinion doctors or specialists in your

network. National Cancer Institute-desig-nated cancer centers are a place to look. Anumber of large cancer centers also have for-mal second opinion programs to efficientlyaddress patient’s needs. With the increasinguse of technology in healthcare, some noweven offer second opinions remotely.Sometimes, the second opinion will dif-

fer from the first in a substantial way. Thiscan leave you with new questions and con-cerns. One option is to request that the twophysicians confer on your case and coordi-nate a recommendation. Another path is toseek a third opinion. This does not mean,however, that a patient “shops around” un-til they find someone saying what they wantto hear.Once you have chosen your second

opinion physician, have all your medicalrecords and tests forwarded to the new doc-tor. The office staff can help you with thisprocess. You may have to sign a paper calleda “release.” You may also want to personallycarry your records to the new physician.When you get to your second opinion

appointment the following questions canhelp:• Is the diagnosis correct? Are additional

tests needed?• Do I need other specialists?•What are the treatment options?What

are the pluses and minuses of each?• How should I be monitored during

treatment?•What will be the next step if treatment

does or does not help?When you have a serious illness getting

the right treatment is important and get-ting a second opinion can help. The aboveinformation is from the National CancerInstitute, WebMD, Curetoday.com and theAmerican Cancer Society.
