MANDATA — Line Mountain School District hosted a Career Day for fifth through eighth grade students on Nov. 14 at the Line Mountain Junior Senior High School. There were 35 presenters sharing information about their job. Each participant spoke for 20 minutes to small groups of students where they spoke about the education and training necessary to be successful at their workplace. They also touched on personal qualities, tools of the trade, how and why they selected their job and some of the “soft skills” that employers look for.
Marla Kane, PA School Service Higher Education Access Partner for PHEAA, opened the day for the students. She shared her career path to her present job. She also shared the www.educationplanner website.
Careers that were represented were physician’s assistant, occupational and physical therapist, food service director, nurse, Northumberland County Emergency 911 Center, funeral director, diesel mechanic, tax preparer, farmer, veterinarian, social worker, hair stylist, computer technician, paramedic, banker, steel worker, administrative secretary, attorney, web designer, military, athletic trainer, museum educator, fitness instructor, State Civil Service, Game Farm worker, and pharmaceutical representative. Speakers from the Chamber of Commerce and the Northumberland County Career and Technical Center were also represented.
The day was arranged by the Line Mountain School counselors.

Scott Dudinskie's girls basketball column: A whole different year for Line Mountain
I couldn't find a number for the guy who said, "A picture is worth a thousands words." Disappointing. I was going to patch him through to my editor and have him explain the concept. Now I'm back to square one -- on the hook for a picture's worth of column inches -- and the photo I'm looking at is still extremely relevant. So do me a favor: Go grab a copy of Tuesday's Daily Item sports section. I'll wait. OK. Take a look at the big, color photo on the front page, the one of the Line Mountain and Danville girls vying for a rebound. Pretty much your standard game-action shot, I know.
