Scholastic Superstar: Tylea ‘Ty’ AlpaughApril 20, 2018When a classmate needed help to achieve the SAT score needed to attend her dream college, Tylea “Ty” Alpaugh stepped in. The senior at Western Wayne studied with her tennis teammate for eight months, resulting in her peer gaining acceptance into the college. Ty continues to volunteer as an SAT tutor, works as the head artist at a charity that has sent more than 8,000 soccer balls to Haitian orphans and volunteers for her local library’s summer reading programs. The daughter of Amy and Cole Alpaugh, she is the first National Merit Finalist in the high school’s history, an accomplishment she is most proud of. Ty also takes a rigorous amount of advanced placement courses at Western Wayne. However, it’s her contributions to art and music she’s found most rewarding; Ty played the leading role in the school’s last two musicals. She is also a member of the marching band, serving as band historian and playing the marimba and tenor drums. Ty was a foley artist — the person who reproduces every day sounds during performances — during the a Spotlight Players performance. The theater company is based in Wayne County. A member of the tennis team, Ty lead the team to districts as co-captain. She most admires bees because they are important pollinators and make delicious honey. She also admires her camp film instructor, who sparked Ty’s interest to start her on a journey into cinematography. Ty enjoys watching movies in the theaters and creating short films in her spare time. That passion will lead her to Vassar College after graduation, where she plans to double major in drama and film. In 15 years, she sees herself living in New York City and acting on Broadway. Ty, who collects quotes from people in her daily life, says her philosophy on life can be summed up with a Cat in the Hat quote from “Seussical the Musical:” “…Simply, things could be worse.” Contact the writer: kbolus@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-9100 x5114; @kbolusTT on Twitter Share this:PrintEmailFacebookTwitterWhatsAppLinkedInPinterest...

Wildcat World Featured Student: Abby GogolskiApril 17, 2018Western Wayne Administration has recognized junior Abby Gogolski as an outstanding student. Abby completed an excellent senior project this past winter in which she raised about 3,000 dollars in her effort to provide Wayne County families with a good meal for Christmas. Western Wayne High School students are required to complete a senior project before graduation. These projects are many times community-service based. Abby, who aspires one day to have a career in finance, thought she wanted to put her budgeting and marketing skills to good use to help those in need for her senior project. She worked closely with her mother to set up her very successful project. In mid-December, she set up a day for the community to donate food for her efforts at Ray’s Supermarket in Waymart. She said she raised about 200 dollars at that event and collected about 40 boxes of food. Abby also set up drop stations for the community to donate at the Waymart Lodge and the Salem Lodge. Along with these efforts to collect donations at local businesses, Abby also created a GoFundMe account to have an online effort to help provide for those in need in Wayne County. Along with asking for help on the internet, Abby also sent out letters to people in the community both asking for donations and for suggestions of families who would benefit from her project. In addition, Abby asked local businesses to donate. In the end, she said she raised about 3,000 dollars in her combined efforts of asking for both monetary donations and donations of food items. Abby used the money she raised to buy more items to donate to those in need such as turkeys for holiday meals. Once Abby had everything collected, she went out on a weekend in December and donated the food in baskets she put together to family homes in the community. She made all of the donations anonymously. “During the holiday season in the past, I had heard people in the community saying they couldn’t afford certain things,” Abby explained. “So I thought this would be a beneficial time to do a senior project of this nature to help people who don’t have a lot.” Abby, an honor roll student, has always enjoyed volunteer work. She volunteers at a local church in Hamlin in their food pantry every month and is glad she can continue her service beyond her senior project. When Abby isn’t volunteering her time to help others, she is involved in FBLA, CATS club, Spanish club, and the tennis team. She wishes to attend Southeastern University in Florida after graduation to pursue a degree in marketing. She is considering a career as a financial advisor and hopes that as a part of that career she can provide some services for people who are less fortunate to help them get back on their feet. Western Wayne High School Principal Paul Gregorski is very proud of Abby’s efforts. “Abby is a role model to others in our school through her efforts to help those in the community,” Gregorski said. “I look forward to seeing how she continues to make a positive impact on both the Western Wayne community and community-at-large during her senior year.” Pictured is Western Wayne student Abby Gogolski with both letters she wrote to community members to help get donations for her senior project his past winter and letters of thanks she received after the project. Abby worked to provide food for those in need this past holiday season. Share this:PrintEmailFacebookTwitterWhatsAppLinkedInPinterest...

Drama Club to Perform Nice Work If You Can Get It April 27, 28, 29April 10, 2018The Western Wayne Drama Club will present the musical comedy Nice Work If You Can Get It that is set in the 1920s and features music and lyrics by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin. Book is by Joe DiPietro. The show is inspired by material by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse. Set in the 1920s, Nice Work is the story of wealthy man-about-town Jimmy Winter, who meets female bootlegger Billie Bendix on the weekend of his wedding. Thinking Jimmy will be out of town, Billie and her gang then hides something in the basement of his Long Island mansion. But when Jimmy, his wife-to-be, and her prohibitionist family show up, Billie and her cohorts pose as servants who cause hijinks galore. Nice Work is loosely based on the 1926 Gershwin musical Oh, Kay! and features a score of classic Gershwin songs some of which audiences will surely recognize like “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off.” “Originally produced on Broadway by” Scott Landis, Roger Berlind, Sonia Friedman Productions, Roy Furman, Standing CO Vation, Candy Spelling, Freddy DeMann, Ronald Frankel, Harold Newman, Jon B. Platt, Raise the Roof 8, Takonkiet Viravan, William Berlind/ Ed Burke, Carol L. Haber/ Susan Carusi, Buddy and Barbara Freitag/ Sanford Robertson, Jim Herbert/ Under the Wire, Emanuel Azenberg, and The Shubert Organization. Performances by Western Wayne students will take place Friday, April 27 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, April 28 at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, April 29 at 3 p.m. in the newly renovated Western Wayne Veterans Memorial Auditorium located at 1970A Easton Turnpike, Lake Ariel, PA 18436. Students and senior citizens $3 dollars for tickets and adults $5 for tickets. Western Wayne students are admitted free with a student ID. Over the past two years, the Western Wayne School District has installed a new state-of-the-art light and sound system along with putting in new curtains, a stage floor, seating, and carpeting. This past November the auditorium was publicly dedicated to all veterans who selflessly serve our country. This school year Western Wayne formed a year-round drama club for students in grades 8 through 12 called Wildcat Curtain Call. Students in a variety of areas of the performing arts are involved in the club and participation in the musical is not required. “We are all so excited about the wonderful, new opportunities for performing arts students at Western Wayne,” Mrs. Jessica McLaughlin, musical director, said. “We look forward to putting on our production of Nice Work along with putting together other drama club events.” Front row, from left: Rhonda Fenkner, who plays Jeannie; Sam Pritzlaff, who plays the Duchess; Ty Alpaugh, who plays Billie; Calla Shaffer, who plays Eileen; and Lindsey Karwacki, who plays Millicent.

Western Wayne Olympic Medalist Set to Return Home this SpringApril 6, 2018From Western Wayne soccer fields and wrestling mats to the mountains in Pyeong Chang, South Korea. Wayne County native and Western Wayne alumni Mike Minor has accomplished a lot at 28. Mike won a bronze medal in the Snowboard-cross event and a gold medal in the Banked Slalom event at the 2018 Paralympic Games this March. Mike, a 2008 Western Wayne graduate, moved to Colorado about four years ago to pursue his dream of professional snowboarding. Later, Adaptive Action Sports discovered Mike’s talents when he was working at Copper Mountain and started working with him. Once being discovered, he pushed even harder with his Olympic training. Mike’s family including his sister Mallory Minor, another Western Wayne Alumni, are extremely proud and excited about all of his accomplishments. Mallory confirms that Mike will be the parade Marshall at the Waymart Pride and Patriotism parade on June 9. She also confirms that Mike has agreed to speak to Western Wayne Students at their annual end of year sports banquet. Western Wayne Administration and staff are also very proud of Mike’s accomplishments and look forward to welcoming him back to the area to share his stories and encourage others this June. Mike’s former guidance counselor Renee Chernin feels very proud of his incredible accomplishments at the Olympics. She explained how Mike was the Keynote Speaker at a county-wide Transition Expo held this past October at Ladore Conference Center. The Transition Expo is designed to help students successfully transition from high school to college or work. There are three focusses of the conference: post-secondary education, employment, and independent living. Area agencies, service providers, colleges and employers are there to provide students with information. Chernin explained how Mike’s presentation that day fit in perfectly with the purpose of the event. She said Mike’s speech captivated all of the Western Wayne students in attendance. “Mike spoke about overcoming physical limitations and believing in oneself despite naysayers. He discussed how having a goal can change your life,” Chernin explained. “The students were inspired to see someone from our hometown travel the world to follow his dream. They were given photo opportunities and an autographed picture as mementos.” Chernin is glad the students had the chance to get to know Mike, who was born missing his right forearm, before his Olympic experience. She believes Mike inspired the students in the fall and feels these students are even more so motivated to go after their life goals after seeing someone so similar to them achieve his dreams. “Mike was a typical high school student,” Chernin said. “He sometimes struggled academically with meeting deadlines. However, he has a magnetic personality and is a person who likes to have fun and be the center of attention. Mike enjoyed the thrill of sports and competition in high school. He self-accommodated and excelled in all sports and physical activities. For example, Mike was a skilled wrestler. He could pin an opponent within seconds, with one arm. Mike never needed help from anyone and would not take help if offered.” Mike’s former Western Wayne soccer coach Matt Fitzsimmons agrees with Chernin about Mike’s strongest qualities as a student and athlete at Western Wayne. “Mike was always a tough kid and a kid that gave his all on everything,” Fitzsimmons explained. “His hustle and determination was never questioned. I truly believe his work athleticism and work ethic translated into his medal winning performance.” Fitzsimmons explained how he very much enjoyed working with Mike when he played forward and midfielder positions on the Western Wayne Soccer team. “When I think of Mike in soccer, what I picture is a kid hustling his butt off, taking hits, bouncing right back up and going even harder,” Fitzsimmons recalls. “I always joked that he was made of rubber because he would bounce off people, the ground, get hit, roll, but just keep moving.” This imagine correlates with Mike’s continuing successful journey as a snowboarder. He already is focused on training for the 2022 Paralympic games in Beijing. Luckily, for Western Wayne students, Mike has agreed to return home later this spring to speak at Western Wayne’s Annual end of year sports banquet. Fitzsimmons looks forward to seeing Mike again in person so he can congratulate him. “I am very proud of him and think it is awesome what he has done,” Fitzsimmons said. “To say that I coached an Olympic Gold Medalist is humbling.” Everyone at the Western Wayne School District also is incredibly happy for Mike and look forward to his return home to celebrate all of his successes with him and his family.
