Events Around NEPA Benefit
Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Rally for a Cure at Glen Oak
Country Club
Pink Ribbon Pumpkin Day
at Roba Family Farms
Saturday October 5, Roba Family Farms
will hold its 4th annual Pink Ribbon
Pumpkin Day. Special events include “The
Magic of Damian” performances at 1, 3 & 5
p.m., Pink Ribbon Pig Races, Pink Ribbon
Scavenger Hunt, Pink Ribbon Prizes and a
painted pumpkin sale in addition to all of
the usual fall fun the farm has to offer
with the price of admission. A portion of
that admission will benefit the NEPA
Chapter of Race for the Cure. In addition,
the farm will be donating 200 VIP passes
to be given out to children on race day.
As a family business, the farm is deeply
invested in the community, and as organizer Patti Borger explains its breast cancer
fundraising efforts,“We want to be sure to
do our part to promote awareness in the
community.” For more, visit
www.robafamilyfarms.com.
Each year, the Rally for a Cure golf tournament draws a crowd to raise funds in the
fight against breast cancer. Proceeds of 75
percent stay within the local community.
This year, 144 women golfers registered;
more are on the waiting list and organizers hoped that the fundraiser would top
even last year’s great success. The tournament in Clarks Summit has even been recognized by the Rally for a Cure headquarters for these past achievements. This year, the tournament kicked off August 20
at 9 a.m., but the fun began
at 8 a.m. with basket raffles,
megaraffles including billboard advertising and iPads, putting contests, a photo
booth and a DJ for entertainment. A sitdown luncheon honored breast cancer
survivors who wished to be recognized.
While the event centers on the golf tournament, organizer Gina Cochrane explains,
“It evolves into so much more.” For more,

Comfort Behind the Wheel
Local Woman Develops Product
for Breast Cancer Survivors
uring the emotional and physical
change a woman
undergoes following a
mastectomy, comfort
while driving a car should
be the least of her worries. Those who have had
this procedure are fully
aware of the toll it takes on
the patient and the lack of
resources available as a
cushion for seatbelts. That
is, until a courageous entrepreneur with first-hand
experience as a cancer survivor stepped in.
D
“You have to
drive, especially if
you’re a mother,”
explained Maria
Jiunta Heck of
West Pittston.
“The state of Pennsylvania
requires a seatbelt while
driving — no excuses.
When leaving the hospital,
you are given a pillow to
put between yourself and
the seatbelt as a cushion,
but it makes you feel like
you’re suffocating,” she
explains. After her procedure, Heck’s search to locate
a product that would
relieve the pressure of the
seatbelt was fruitless.“ I
eventually called a local
mastectomy shop where
the owner told me she didn’t sell any products like
that,” says Heck.“She
offered to sell them if I
32
could come up with something.”
increase the production,”
explains Heck.
Thus the idea for the Breast
Buddy was born. Heck
spent two years prototyping this “seatbelt cocoon”
into what is now a flawless
final product. The removable European sham
design allows for easy
cleaning of the outer cover
while the padded insert
has the perfect amount of
cushioning for comfort
without causing embarrassment to the user.
The patented and trademarked product is available through Heck’s company, Green Gables
Enterprises. However, not
nearly enough of those in
need of a Breast Buddy are
aware that it exists.
Heck’s partnership with a
local seamstress allows her
to produce roughly 80
Breast Buddies per week.
Once the Breast Buddy is
put together, it arrives at
Heck’s home at which point
her family puts on the finishing touches with tags,
labels and packaging.“The
assembly is done in my dining room right now. My
dream is to get an office
with a sewing room to
HappeningsMagazinePA.com
As Heck says,“necessity is the
mother of invention.”
Knowing the importance of
the Breast Buddy, she targets
a medical clinic or doctor’s
office and mails them a
Breast Buddy in hopes that
landing the product in the
proper situation will spread
the word to those who need
it most.
In addition to her national
marketing efforts, the product is available for purchase
on Heck's website: thebreastbuddy.com. For more information, contact info@
thebreastbuddy.com.

“There has always been an
aspect of
myself
that loves
to nurture! I
wanted to
matter
and make
a difference to
people
who are
especially vulnerable when
surgery or illness depletes
them. It has always amazed
me at people’s capacity for
love, courage and
endurance when faced with
life’s ups and downs. This
nursing profession allows
you to see how life begins
and ends and you have
those trusted intimate
moments when you see
“God” in them.
I am part of the team headed by Dr. Francis Collini. We
do everything from cosmetics (facelift, tummy-tuck,
liposuction) to reconstructive surgeries (nasal reconstruction to help with snoring and breathing and
carpal tunnel. We also have
the “Tobil System” for tattoo

hear the devastating news

they can take

options.
At Age of Innocence Salon
and Medical Skin Clinic, our
skin rejuvenation includes
medical microdermabrasion
and chemical designer peels
which I perform as an RN.”
Health Tip: To keep the
largest organ of the body,
the skin, healthy it is important to not smoke, stay
hydrated and wear sunscreen. Hydration includes
drinking the water for the
inside and applying good
moisturizer with sunscreen
on the outside. Remember
the difference between a
raisin and a plum is water
content.
Advice to Women:
Invest in yourself! If you do
not think you are important
no one else will. A woman’s
true beauty comes from
within and it comes across as
a radiance you can see in her
bright eyes and dewy skin.
Interesting Fact: Karen has

ore than two
centuries old and
counting, the
Olde Barn Center just outside of Williamsport in
Muncy, PA was once home
to farm animals and is
rumored to have been
part of the Underground
Railroad during the Civil
War. In 1992, the Fry family
preserved the barn to provide a home for countless
antiques, collectables and
decorative treasures.

Where do you find your
items?
We mainly purchase our
pieces from estate auctions
38
within a 50-mile radius.
However, I have traveled as
far as Arizona for a few
items.
What was the most expensive item for sale?
We once had an old bar
back taken out of a Jersey
Shore hotel. It was 18 feet
long and eight feet high. A
family in Altoona purchased
it as the foundation piece
to their family room. It sold
surprisingly quickly for a
piece that large and unusual.
What is the least expensive item for sale?
Candles for a dollar.

We don’t refinish antique
pieces. They are cleaned
and put in working order,
but our customers like to
buy things in the state we
find them– nicks, scratches
and all. We specialize in
country style furnishings
and related items that go
with that like lamps, placemats, dried flowers, candles,
and such. We like to carry
an assortment of things, old
and new, that people enjoy
and are not necessarily useful.

Anything country is very
popular, as well as painted

For instance, a country table
