Cranberry Ballpark…My Bucket List Part Oneby larry Ksanznak

In a previous issue of the Panorama, I listed my ten favorite places in the Greater Hazle-ton Area as my Bucket List of treasured mem-ories. These places and sites no longer exist due to either being demolished or converted to a new use. When I return to the Hazleton area, I fondly remember so many treasured memories associated with these sites. One of my favorite of all the sites was the old Cranberry Ball Park. It was located in the southwest corner of West Hazleton. The building of the ballpark was started in 1922 when the Coal Company owners gave per-mission to the coal miners from Cranberry, Hollers Hill, Crystal Ridge, Green Ridge and West Hazleton to construct a baseball field. The results of their labor of love was a beau-tiful baseball field, spacious covered grand-stand and bleachers along the first and third baselines. A large wooden billboard fence was erected to encircle the field and allow for the charging of admission to games. In later years, telephone poles with banks of lights made it possible to have night football and baseball games. In a blue-collar community, when most people worked during the day, the night games were a real source of entertain-ment and enjoyment for families. The first organized baseball to be played at the ball park was the Anthracite League that consisted of teams from White Haven, Freeland, Conyngham, Rock Glen, West Hazleton, Jeddo, St. Claire, McAdoo, Hazle-ton Red Sox, Transfiguration and Brehms. Some of the best players in Major League baseball played at Cranberry Park including the one and only Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Walter Johnson, “Butch” Ebinger, Joe Bush,

Bob Ehmke, Morrie Arnovich, , “Specs” Toporcer, Dutch Dorman, Hugh Mulcahey, Eddie Popowski, George Tice, Eddie Wil-son and Jim Bagby. There were many local baseball stars who performed on this base-ball diamond including Norm Larker, Mike Warnitsky, Porky Hudock, Pitzer Valitsky, Charlie Sypeck, “Bully” Christina, Joe Lev-itsky, Eddie Waitkis, Carl Denke, Jack Reese, Tom Kendra, George Yakubisin, Joe Gibbon, Earl Strack, Charlie Mullin, Nick Mondero, “Dutch” Houser, Hack DePew, Robert Rink-er, Louie Urban, Vince Comshick, Priggin Winters, Joe Besiski, George Honochick and Frank Pollock. One of the biggest attractions ever to come to the Hazleton area was the visit of the leg-endary Babe Ruth. The New York Times Oc-tober 23, 1923, described Babe Ruth’s visit to Cranberry Ball Park. “Hazleton, Pa. Oct. 22, Babe Ruth came to Hazleton today for a baseball game. It was made a holiday, the mines and the public schools of all towns in the region closing for the afternoon. Mine workers lefts their posts in such numbers that work had to be suspended. “Babe” went hit-less against Mondero, a mineworker of Coler-aine, who pitched for the Hazleton team. He struck the home run king out twice.” Being a teenager gave you a chance to be a member of the “Knothole Gang.” As a member, you were allowed to see some games free or reduced admission fee. I re-member some of our “Knot Hole” members Bob Probert, Jimmy Striney, Richie Stish, Zack Taylor, Frankie Berge, Charlie and Leo Podlesny, Jimmie Mulligan, Jimmy Ustynos-ki, “Stoogie” Leitner, Bobby Gallagher,

“Yosh” Mehalick, George Sterba, Eddie Du-lina, Carl Horn, Kenny Stecker, Fritz Yeakel, John Greencavich, “Hooper” Evans, Sammy Klingerman, Johnny Seamon, Milo Maso-novich, “Red” Sarnoski, Al Mackunis, Eddie VanBlargen, Tommy Antolick, Eddie Junay, Tom Horinko, Ed Lincalis, Buddy Bain-bridge. Glenny DeFransisco and “Shakey” Raabe. When not in the ballpark we gathered on the corner of Wayne and Cranberry Av-enue to wait for foul balls to be hit over the grandstand. It was a mad dash to retrieve the baseball. There was an elderly gentleman by the name of “Smokey Joe” who was hired by the team to get the baseball before the kids. When we got a baseball you had two choices, either to give it back and get free admission, or take it back to Gravel Run field for our baseball games. Life is always filled with dif-ficult choices. In addition to Cranberry Park being used for baseball, it soon found a dual use when football games became part of the sports scene. In 1931 the Twin County Football League was formed with teams from Coaldale, Shenandoah, Tamaqua, Mahanoy City, Sum-mit Hill, Cranberry AA, Hazleton, Freeland and McAdoo. West Hazleton High School began to play their home games at the field that attracted crowds of 6,000 spectators. The first Thanksgiving Day Classic football games between West Hazleton High and Hazleton High School were played at Cranbury Park. Some of the greatest players in the greater Hazleton area played on this field.

The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Com-merce Women’s Networking committee has recently awarded their fifth annual Women’s

Empowerment Grants. This grant is intended for women beginning their higher education, returning to college for an advanced degree or taking additional courses to improve their workplace skills. “This year we received nine applications”. explains Leann Fallabel, Chamber VP of Mar-keting and Woman’s Networking Committee Coordinator. “After carefully reviewing and scoring each, the volunteer committee nar-rowed it down to seven women. Each of the eight women were personally interviewed by the committee and, following the interviews they were able to decide who would receive the grants for 2012” continues Ms. Fallabel. The Women’s Networking Committee raises money for this grant throughout the year at their events including, evening net-working mixers, an annual Ladies Night Out event, a holiday decorating contest and social and luncheon programs. In addition to raising funds at these events, for the fourth year in a row, PPL has made a generous donation of $800. Also again, this year, the Hazleton YMCA/YWCA Kirkpat-rick Foundation has generously contributed $500 toward the Women’s Empowerment Grant Fund. For 2012 the committee has been able to distribute four $1000 grants. The recipients of this year’s Women’s Empowerment Grants are: Francelys Fabian, currently attending Penn State Hazleton; Camelia Francisc, cur-rently attending King’s College; Renee J.

It is a bit early in the season to be writing about snowfall, but sometimes when the winds begin to blow their cool breezes during the fall months, I can’t help but remember early snow-falls of past years. On Friday, October 14, 1977, Grace Reformed Church on N. Laurel St., Ha-zleton, PA lost both their pastor, Rev. William. Y. Gebhard and a respected elder, Tecumsch D. Kreiger. They died within minutes of each oth-er. Reverend Gebhard was viewed at Pusti’s Fu-neral Home on Sunday evening, October, 16th. Mr.Tec Kreiger was viewed on the same evening just down the street at Krapf and Hughes Fu-neral Home. They were both very large view-ings. In addition to being a church elder and a loving family man, Tec was a well-known local postman. So many folks were just walking from one funeral home to the other. I remember go-ing into Pusti’ s Funeral Home with my hus-band, Bob. I was wearing thin black slippers. When we left the home, there were several inches of snow on the ground; and it was still falling. What a chilling surprise. Those early inches were just a taste of what followed. Inches turned to feet and days of inconvenience for

the Hazleton Area residents, and much of the eastern seaboard. Now that was one of the early snowfalls that stayed on my mind. Some interesting info about those two fu-nerals which were both originally scheduled for Kraft and Hughes Funeral Home. Because of the size of both viewings, Pusti’s Funeral Home cooperated by providing the funeral parlor for Rev. Gebhard’s viewing. In spite of the mas-sive snow storm, his funeral service was held on Monday at Krapf and Hughes with the Rever-end Mr. Richard Abernethy and the Reverend Mr. Ghulman Nasrani presiding. His interment was held in the Charles Evans Cemetery, Read-ing, PA, later in the week, because of the mas-sive snowstorm. Mr. Kreiger’s funeral service was held at Kraft and Hughes parlor on Tuesday with the Reverend Mr.Richard Owens presid-ing. His interment was at Mt Laurel Memorial Cemetery in Hazleton, PA. I decided to research snowfalls and found many interesting facts, many more complicated than I really wanted to know. I will share a bit of info that I found interesting and which re-inforced facts long ago pushed to the back of my mind. Snow is a form of crystalline water ice that falls from the sky, from the clouds to be exact. It’s open and soft structure is granular in nature when there is no external pressure ap-plied to it. Snowflakes come in all shapes and sizes. Mankind has long been trying to measure and record their shapes and sizes to see if there were any alike. In 1885, Wilson Alwyn Bentley, while photographing thousands of snowflakes under a microscope, found the wide variety of flakes we know about today. As for me, I just know that they are beautiful, a marvel to be-hold, especially if I am toasty warm and inside looking out at them. I consider them a gift from the hand of God. Snow is classified in types by the shape of the flakes. Some are powdery or granular and can eventually turn to ice. Snow makes great snow-balls and packs well for winter sports. The wind and temperature get into the act forming snow-storms, snowdrifts, snow showers, snow packs. Blowing snow can create a ground blizzard which makes life hazardous for man and beast. All these are of extreme interest to our weather men and women in forecasting the daily weath-er for our safety and convenience. The definition of a snowfall is the amount of snow that falls during a given period or in a spe-cific area. We here in the Hazleton area are quite familiar with a snowfall. Ask the plow drivers. They can tell you all about snowfalls.

But really, I think we do tend to romanticize snowfalls, in song, movies and photos. Oh, such beautiful photos we have all seen; and many of us have taken a shot or two of a just perfect snowfall. Maybe we were watching the children in the backyard building a snowman when we snapped it. I know I have tried to get a pristine shot before the snowplow has come down the street or before a footprint mars the look of the perfect snow in the front yard. We can’t all be on top of a mountain where the hand of God has painted the perfect picture of majestic trees heavy with new fallen snow to snap our pho-tos. Just look out wherever you happen to be planted at the moment the snow falls. There is your best shot. Your perfect shot may be as close as your new smart phone that many of us have in our hands. Take it! Way back in the day, 1941 to be exact, Claude Thornehill wrote the music and words for his theme song on the piano and for his orchestra. You may find that you have it on an album of theme songs of the big bands. It is so beautiful. Just imagine his rippling fingers floating down the piano keys as the snowflakes floating down from the skies. “Snowfall softly, gently drifts down. Snowflakes whisper ‘neath my window. Towering trees, misty white, velvet breeze round my doorstep. Gently, softly, silent snowfall.” Of course we remember the majestic scenes of the snowy Austrian Alps in ‘The Sound of Music’. Irving Berlin romanticized snow in his unforgettable Irving Berlin classic song, White Christmas. Then, in 1954, along came the movie, White Christmas, starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen. They desperately needed a snowfall at a Vermont inn belonging to their old army general who was in financial trouble. Bing and Danny put together a New York quality show. They put out a call to their old service buddies, who responded en masse. The last scene showed the rear wall of the stage opening to expose the beauty of the long anticipated first snowfall of the season. So I’ll close with a wish for a beauti-ful first snowfall for each of you this winter sea-son. Enjoy!! Take a photo!! Just a quick postscript: Bing Crosby’s obituary appeared in our local paper the same day as Pastor Gebhard and Tec Kreiger. Strange isn’t it? P

Greetings! It is I, Virginia Jane, golden retriever and hostess extraordinaire at Kath-leen’s Collectibles, here to answer your press-ing questions about those remarkable canines!

Dear Virginia Jane, I would like to get a dog but I am on a fixed income and don’t have a lot of extra money. But I am lonely and I think a dog would make me happy. What do you recom-mend? Everyone should have a dog, if they de-serve it. And it sounds like you are deserv-ing of a dog. Dogs will always make people happy (cats sometimes). Here’s a tip: adopt one. There are many beautiful dogs and pup-pies waiting, literally dying, for a good home. The financial benefit is that the pups are usu-ally already neutered or spayed when you get them which saves big bucks at the vet (no of-fense, vet readers). With my availability of funds, what type of dog do you recommend? Short on funds? Short dog. Seriously, a small dog costs less to care for than we large, gorgeous, outstanding golden retrievers. In one year, the cost of feeding a small dog is about one-fourth the cost of a large dog (and one half the cost of a medium dog). What other costs besides food are associated with owning a dog? Let’s see. Here are some, in no particular order: treats; annual medical exam by a vet (which I personally don’t see the need for but am smart enough to recognize its value);

treats; collar (or two; we like changing our jewelry too); treats; license (pretty inexpensive and the tag adds to the bling on our collar); treats; soft blanket or bed (I would forego this and just share your bed): and most importantly, TREATS. Are there other expenses that I am not aware of? There are always unexpected costs, even with human babies and they can’t even bark. The most important expenditure on your part is quality time together and love. LOVE makes it all worthwhile. Every time. PS. A special note to my special friends who have lost their four-footed friend re-cently: You gave and got lots of love. Rejoice in the time you had together, do not despair over the time that was taken away, even if it might have been a CAT. Always remember, when it’s time for your bestest friend to leave you, we canines (and yes, even felines) always hope we will be in the arms of those who loved us the bestest. And yours was. P

Blue Violet Designs

Blue Violet Designs began twelve years ago, when I broke a beaded watchband and decided to fix it myself. I soon grew tired of repairing strung jewelry and learned how to wire components together with sterling silver wire to make my pieces more durable. I make jewelry that is meant to be worn—often. Blue Violet jewelry is made with sterling silver wire and findings and, almost exclusive-ly, with handmade beads: Hill Tribe sterling silver from Thailand and Bali sterling silver from Indonesia. I adore deep, rich color, so my jewelry also features vibrant furnace glass, dichroic glass, lampwork glass, and porcelain-

-all handmade in the USA. Each piece of Blue Violet Jewelry is truly one of a kind. Consider hosting a home jewelry party (with a generous hostess incentive), or you may shop at my home, by appointment. If you’re looking for an unusual, creative gift for any occasion, in any price range, please consider Blue Violet Designs. Visit the Blue Violet Designs website, www.nancylotz.etsy.com, for a 10% off coupon for the month of October. P

Hazleton Art League selects manager

Artist and arts educator Mark Rooney is the new manager of the Hazleton Art League. Rooney, who teaches fine art at Penn State, Hazleton, Luzerne Community College and the Hazleton Art League and maintains a studio in town, has been a practicing artist and educator for more than 25 years. He holds a bachelor of fine arts degree from Temple University and a master of fine arts degree from Maryland Insti-tute College of Art in Baltimore. He also spent a semester studying painting and art history in Rome. He has been a professor of fine art at colleges and universities including the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C. He has also taught art to children, teens and senior citi-zens and to individuals and groups in workshops and classes in his studio. Rooney continues to create and exhibit his work in galleries in this country and abroad. Gal-leries in Washington, D.C., which have shown his work include the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Anton Gallery, Washington Project for the Arts, District Fine Arts, Signal 66 and many others.

Rooney says he has “been involved with the art league as a teacher and board member for several years, and I am honored and excited to have the opportunity to contribute to this worthy and venerable institution,” Rooney says. He adds that his “greatest goal is to continue to encour-age membership and participation in art league activities for the residents of Hazleton and its sur-rounding communities.” “I hope my position as manager of the art league will begin a renewed interest and stimu-late a new enthusiasm for the artistic and cul-tural life of our area. During my years in the art world, I’ve witnessed how art and creativity become vital resources in the life of any commu-nity,” he says.

After laboring through the hot summer, many gardeners are tempted to take a break once cooler weather arrives and growth slows. Performing the tasks of autumn, however, insures that the garden will be healthier and more productive during the next growing season. This year fall clean up is especially important. Weeds, insects, and disease or-ganisms were more prevalent because they survived the extremely mild temperatures of the past winter. Vigilance is needed in re-moving garden debris that may harbor disease or insect eggs.Here are some reminders for autumn:• Fertilize lawns to encourage vigorous root growth. • Remove leaves from lawns or mow them with a mulching mower to prevent them from smothering the grass.• Plant deciduous trees and shrubs and peren-nial flowers. Water well and mulch for pro-tection from the alternate freezes and thaws of winter.• Continue to control weeds into the fall to prevent them from releasing seeds for spring germination.• Shred and save leaves for use as mulch or to add to compost throughout the year. • Divide overcrowded perennials such as Asi-atic lilies, bearded iris, and peonies. • Clean up flower beds. Remove spent an-nuals, cut back most perennials, and dispose of any diseased or insect-infested plant debris.Lift and store cold-sensitive bulbs like cannas, dahlias, and gladioli .

• Delay cutting back perennials like purple cone flower which provide food for wildlife, or those like ornamental grasses that provide visual interest during the drab winter months.Plant spring flowering bulbs such as crocus, daffodils, tulips and hyacinth. • Test your soil. Autumn is an excellent time to add nutrients and organic materials so that they may be incorporated into the soil before spring planting.• Clean up fallen fruit t o reduce the chance of pests and disease over-wintering.• Remove vegetable plants and clean up all garden debris. • Till the garden to facilitate drying out and warming of the soil for spring planting. Add organic materials such as shredded leaves, un-treated grass, and healthy garden clippings to improve the soil.• Protect newly tilled soil by planting a cover crop or mulching with shredded leaves, grass clippings, or straw to prevent weed growth. • Plant garlic and shallots, remembering to rotate vegetable crops.• Clean and sharpen garden tools so that they will be ready to use in spring. • Bring in houseplants that spent the summer outdoors, checking them first for insects.• Seal any openings in your home that could permit the entry of stinkbugs, Asian lady bee-tles, or box elder bugs.• Update your garden journal, noting the problems and successes you experienced in

2012. Note any tools or other materials you may need in the new year as well as particular plant varieties

you may want to try in 2013. P

Values of Preventive Maintenanceby the experts at SJ Kowalski

Air conditioning and heating systems need regular preventive maintenance to maintain the system, avoid costly repairs and keep it running at optimum levels throughout it’s life. ASHRAE (American Society of Heat-ing, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) states that your air conditioning system can degrade up to 3% per year. Hav-ing your HVAC system on a yearly preventive maintenance plan will slow the degradation of your system. Your system will last longer, use less energy and need fewer repairs over the long term. For example, dirty condenser coils cause the compressor to run harder and pull more amps. More amps mean higher electric bills. Also dirty condenser coils, which make your compressor work harder, will eventually cause premature failure of the compressor. By neglecting something as simple as your condenser coils, you will pay a higher electric bill and you will pay to replace the compres-sor sooner rather than later. A study done by ASHRAE found that a large central air system

with a dirty coil will cost approximately $600 more to operate during one cooling season than an HVAC system that has been prop-erly maintained. Add a clogged filter into the equation and your costs will increase by an-other $400. These unnecessary costs can be reduced and even avoided completely when a proper preventive maintenance program is in place. Another important issue that can not be overlooked when considering the im-portance of HVAC maintenance is indoor air quality. The operating condition of HVAC equipment is critical to indoor air quality. A well-maintained system will protect occu-pants from poor air quality. Call the experts at S.J. Kowalski, Inc. 570-455-2600 to find out more about the pre-ventive maintenance program they offer and schedule your yearly maintenance today.


How to tell when yourhome needs a new roof

(NAPSA)-Investing a little time and ef-fort in monitoring the condition of your roof can pay big dividends when it comes to your home and your family's well-being.Industry professionals believe it's a good idea to inspect your roof regularly, particularly if you live in areas of the country that experi-ence extreme weather. You can inspect your roof yourself, either by climbing on your roof or by using binocu-lars from the ground. Another sound option is to have a professional do it for you.If you do go up on the roof yourself, remem-ber to always use proper safety equipment to prevent falls or injury.

Learn to Read the Signs Look carefully for the following signs your roof may be in need of repair or re-placement:• Leaks in the attic after a wind-driven rain or ice buildup.• Blistering and peeling of interior and/or ex-terior paint.• Stains, mold or mildew on interior ceilings

and walls.• Exterior decay of sheathing and/or siding. When it comes to examining the roof itself, start by looking at the shingles for any that are missing, cracked, curled, torn or warped. Also, look for any open seams or joints that could lead to leaking. Popped or rusted nails, or stains around nails, are also signs that your roof is in need of repair or replacement.

A Roof Is More Than Shingles Many homeowners are surprised to learn that a roof is more than just the shingles. A roof is actually a system that, in addition to the shingles, includes other components, such as leak barriers and ventilation components. While each element has a particular job to do, they are also designed to work together to cover a house.

Designed to Offer Peace of Mind There is good news for homeowners who want to cover their financial investment as well as their house. One manufacturer of roofing products has a program that offers what it calls "limited lifetime coverage" when a homeowner installs any of its Lifetime Shin-gles, as well as three or more qualifying acces-sories made by the same company. The Lifetime Roofing System from GAF is designed to provide homeowners with peace of mind and support contractors who are sell-ing and installing complete roofing systems. The company's roofing products have been specifically designed to work together for su-perior, long-term protection and have been proven to be effective on millions of homes nationwide.

leaks in the attic after a wind-driven rain or ice buildup may be signs that your home needs a new roof.

Garage door safety checks revealmany potential hidden hazards

Recent safety inspections of garage doors across the region have revealed a number of potential hazards, said Brian Lucas, president of F&L Doors, the area’s premier garage door installation and service company. “We encourage all homeowners to have their garage doors and openers inspected for hazards,” Lucas explained. What the experienced service professionals

of F&L Doors have uncovered has been truly shocking. “We have found garage doors with unsafe springs and mechanical problems, which, left unchecked, could have easily caused injury to the homeowner, their children, or guests,” Lucas said. Without regular maintenance and service, your garage door can become a potential haz-

ard in your home. In tough economic times some people choose to postpone maintenance around their home, but this is not a wise decision.“Because this is a safety issue, F&L Doors is extending a special $49.95 garage door safety inspection offer for a limited time,” Lucas said. No matter who installed your garage door, the experts at F&L Doors can inspect, repair and even replace it for you quickly and easily.Now is a great time to replace or upgrade your garage door or opener. Several major garage door manufacturers are offering unheard-of financial incentives and rebates for consumers. “In all my years, I have never seen garage door manufacturers offering as many finan-cial discounts as they are now. It’s definitely a great time to improve the appearance of your home, as well as its thermal efficiency,” Lucas said. And while it’s important to get a good deal, it’s equally critical to buy from a reputable factory-authorized dealer who stands by their product after the initial sale, Lucas explained.“F&L Doors has been selling, installing and servicing quality name-brand garage doors since 1970. We truly offer the best of both worlds: attractive pricing and outstanding customer service for years to come,” Lucas said. Even professional racing champion Mario Andretti relies on F&L Doors to service his many garage doors on his home in Nazareth, Pa. “The professional team at F&L Doors’ Service Division performs the same quality installation, maintenance and repair on Ma-rio Andretti’s mansion as they do on homes throughout Hazleton and the Poconos,” Lu-cas said. “And with the many great offers we are see-ing from our manufacturers, there has never been a better time to upgrade or replace your aging garage door,” Lucas added. Today’s garage doors are not only attrac-tive and durable, they offer fantastic thermal ratings that can save you cash each month by reducing heating and cooling bills. “F&L Doors represents many of today’s best garage door makers, including Amarr, Artisan Doorworks, Clopay, Raynor, and Wayne Dalton. It’s best to call us so we can explain the latest deals, because they change frequently,” Lucas said.

F&L Doors, which sells a large variety of garage doors for homes and businesses right from its Hazleton showroom, has recently launched its new website at www.fldoors.com. “Our new, modern website was designed to be very user-friendly as customers learn more about F&L Doors,” Lucas said.

The site also includes informa-tion on the company’s “Shop at Home” ser-vice, which brings samples and information right to your door.

“Selecting a garage door is an important choice. Garage doors can occupy up to a third of a home’s façade, so the right door will improve the appearance and value of your home. It can also save you money on energy costs based on its efficiency,” Lucas said. F&L Doors is proud of the reputation for quality and dependable service it has devel-oped since its founding in 1970, and offers an extended one-year “No Hassle Guarantee” on all of their garage doors. “Our reputation is on the line with every purchase, and that’s something I take very seriously,” said Lucas. “Our extended one-year service guarantee means that if you have a problem with your F&L Doors installed garage door, we’ll send a technician to your home to fix it.” The company’s showroom features an extensive in-stock inventory of garage doors and products from which to choose. Custom-

ers can also have doors custom designed and created to meet their needs, should they de-sire. And F&L Doors literally goes the extra mile for its customers, routinely servicing and installing doors within an 80-mile radius.

The Apartments at theLehigh Coal & Navigation Building

Located on the banks of the Lehigh River, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation building has a long and storied history in the Leigh Val-ley’s history. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Building is located in Jim Thorpe’s historic district, and was originally built in 1882. As the coal boom in Pennsylvania shrank, the building fell into disrepair before it was reno-vated into apartments in _____. The apartments at the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Building were designed as afford-able homes for seniors 62 and older, or any-one qualifying as disabled under HUD eligi-bility requirements. Residents have access to

in-house amenities such as the community room, resident groups, on-site management, 24-hour on-call maintenance, and on-site laundry facilities. In addition to the convenience amenities located at the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Building, residents live in the heart of down-town Jim Thorpe, just steps from the Lehigh River. Residents are close to grocery stores, shopping, doctors, and many other conve-niences within a short walk or drive. To learn more about the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Building and how to apply for an affordable senior apartment, please visit us online at www.LehighCoalNavigation.com, contact our leasing office at 570.325.4941 or email us at [email protected] The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Building is managed by Pennrose Management Com-pany.

(NAPSA)-Heating and cooling is the single biggest energy user in a home and accounts for about 40 percent of all the energy con-sumed by homeowners-but high heating and cooling bills don't have to get you hot under the collar if you follow a few simple steps to ensure that your equipment operates as effi-ciently as possible.

What You Can Do• Clear away leaves, grass, weeds, plants and other debris that block airflow through an outdoor condensing unit-the large metal box in your yard next to the house. Anything that collects on the unit's fins will block airflow and reduce its efficiency. Grass clippings thrown by the lawn mower are particularly common offenders. • Occasionally clean the outdoor condensing unit by lightly spraying it with a water hose but do not use a pressure washer. • Make sure air vents inside your home are not obstructed by furniture. Get Professional_HelpAccording to the experts at the Air-Condi-tioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), it's also a good idea to hire a pro-fessional to service your air conditioner. A well-trained technician can safely find and fix problems in the system. Look for a tech-nician who is certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE). You can find

a NATE-certified technician online at www.natex.org.

Learn More For further information about heating and cooling or to search for AHRI-certified products, visit www.ahrinet.org or call (703) 524-8800.

With proper maintenance,

(Family Features) The way you light your home is changing, starting with how you shop for light bulbs. In addition to new choices in technology - state of the art LEDs or CFLs, for example - you have a variety of options in terms of brightness, as well as how long you want the bulb to last. In addition, you have the option of spending more money up front on an energy efficient bulb that can save you money in the long-run. The good news is you don't have to be an Edison to find the right bulb. Use these tips and resources to pick the perfect bulb for your home:

Calculate Your Savings Before you hit the stores, do your homework. Determine what lighting attributes are impor-tant to you, whether it's long life, instant-on, dimming capabilities, bulb shape or luminos-ity. Different bulb technologies offer different benefits. To boil down how much switching to a more efficient bulb means for you, look for resources like the savings calculator GE offers at www.gelighting.com/lighttransforms. It shows consumers how much they'll save with a simple switch from incandescent bulbs to GE's Energy-

Efficient Soft White bulbs, which operate much like incandescent bulbs but are up to 28 percent more efficient.

Check the Facts The back of every new light bulb package now includes a "Lighting Facts" label that is similar in form to the nutrition label on the back of food boxes. The Lighting Facts label provides informa-tion about lumens (brightness), energy cost, life expectancy, light appearance (warm versus cool light), wattage and mercury content. Mandated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the label is meant to standardize how companies in the lighting industry convey light bulb features, helping you to quickly make comparisons be-tween bulbs and bulb technologies.

Look for Lumens, Not Watts In addition to the Lighting Facts label, some light bulb packaging is placing more emphasis from classifications by watts instead classifica-tions by lumens. While you may have equated watts with brightness every time you made a bulb purchase, in true lighting terms, this gauge isn't accurate. Watts are merely the measure of elec-trical energy used to light a bulb. A lumen is a measure of the bulb's brightness. Simply put, the higher the lumen number, the brighter the bulb. So, if you are looking for a brighter light, look for a higher lumen number on the box. The same isn't necessarily true for watts. In fact, a 13 watt CFL may be brighter than a 60 watt incandes-cent bulb.

Examine New Packaging Along with the Lighting Facts label, some manufacturers are going one step further in helping consumers decipher differences in bulbs by changing their packaging. For example, GE Lighting has implemented a color-coding system to help you better understand the light that will be emitted from each bulb. Color selections are modeled after the natural cycle of daylight, from sunrise to sunset. For example, yellow boxes rep-resent bulbs with strong, vibrant light ideal for home cooking, cleaning and grooming, while purple boxes represent subtle and reassuring light for use at night. For more tips on finding the light bulb that's right for your needs, visit www.GELighting.com/lighttransforms.

Website: www.hazletownship.com

The Hazle Township Building Depart-ment would like to remind the residents of Hazle Township of the need to be safe when dealing with any contractors. Although a majority of the contractors are decent hard working individuals you still have to be cau-tious and alert when inviting someone you don’t know into your home. Human nature is to trust your fellow man; unfortunately you cannot and should not trust a stranger when there is a transaction involving money and personal property. Do not allow anyone to talk you into let-ting them work in or on your property with out first seeing their insurance information, checking their references, and reading and signing a contract with him or her. If you do not take the necessary steps to protect yourself you will have no legal recourse when something goes wrong. It seems that the “gypsy” contractors prey on the elderly. This is not because the elderly are not as intelligent as everyone else, it is be-cause when they were younger you could take a man at his word and a handshake meant something. I encourage you to speak to your parents if they are elderly and remind them that times have changed and unfortunately a handshake is not good enough anymore. If you or your mom and/or dad are thinking of having some home improvement work done and don’t have a contractor that you or they use on a regular basis, ask a family member or trusted neighbor if there is someone that they use and are satisfied with. If your parents are more comfortable with you being there, try and show up at the house when the contrac-tor is at the home discussing the work to be done. Remember that a building permit may be necessary. If you are in doubt about whether or not your particular job requires a build-ing permit, please call your local municipal-ity. When a permit is purchased it generates an inspection, which provides some assurance that the work being done is up to present codes and safe. Who purchases the permit is a decision to be made when the contract is being signed. Most municipalities give a placard that is displayed in a street-facing window while your work is being done. Al-ways ask for that placard and a copy of the permit receipt if you are not the one picking up the permit. Usually, the friendly folks at the permit office will be more than happy to make an extra copy of each for the person

picking up the permit. The Pennsylvania Attorney General has a lot of good useful information for consumers on their web site at www.attorneygeneral.gov. I encourage everyone to go there and explore all they have to offer. I have included some information from the website in this months Panorama Community Magazine for those of you who don’t have the Internet. P


Freshen up your home, naturally

(Family Features) Homes trap all kinds of smells - last night's salmon dinner, dirty gym clothes in the laundry basket, the cat's litter box and more. When it comes to ensuring the home looks, feels and smells clean, 64 percent of homeowners have even gone to extreme measures to rid their homes of pungent odors, such as replacing a rug or carpet (34 percent), purchasing a new trash can (26 percent) or re-

placing a couch or another piece of furniture (17 percent), according to a survey commis-sioned by Filtrete Filters from 3M. But if you've become accustomed to the scents of your own home, how can you really know if it's odor free? Healthy living expert, Building Biologist and author Lisa Beres shares these simple solutions to naturally create and maintain a fresh home:

• Kitchen refriger-ator: Remove foul odors and stains from leftovers in the fridge by cleaning the draw-ers and shelves with a homemade cleaning solution. Simply add a few drops of natural dish soap to a bowl of baking soda and stir until it creates a thick paste. Also, store an open box of baking soda inside the fridge to help eliminate odors before they start. Replace it with a fresh box at least every three months.• Candles and air fresheners: Store-bought air fresheners can contain synthetic chemicals, such as formaldehyde, which can irritate eyes, skin and throats, according to the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency. Instead, create your own air freshener by combining 10 drops of an essential oil - such as lavender or eucalyp-tus - with two cups of water. • Pests and repellants: Pesky ants and other insects can make their way into your kitchen pantry when they're on a mission to find food, but dousing them and your kitchen's surfaces in toxic repellent isn't a healthy solution for the home or the family. Instead, set a line of coffee grounds, lemon juice, cinnamon or cay-enne pepper around doors and windows to create an effective barrier they won't cross. • Cooking: Help prevent unappealing cooking odors, such as fish, from spreading and linger-ing throughout the home by upgrading to the Filtrete Odor Reduction Filter. It helps remove odors and gases from the air passing through the filter and helps keep the home fresh for families and houseguests. Synthetic air fresh-eners, candles and incense only provide tem-porary relief from odors by masking them in one particular room but will do nothing to remove the odors from the entire home.• Damp towels: Wet towels from a shower, a trip to the gym or a day at the pool can be a breeding ground for mildew to develop if they sit too long without drying. To rid towels of the mildew smell, first wash them once in hot water with a cup or two of white vinegar. Then wash them again with a natural or eco-friendly laundry detergent. Finally, dry the towels in the dryer on high heat. To avoid mildew and associated smells in the future, hang towels up right away to ensure they dry thoroughly.

In these economic times, people are look-ing for a way to save money and to get the most quality out of there investments. When it comes to an HVAC system, one of the best ways to do those two things is to maintain the equipment properly. Think of maintenance for your HVAC system as you would main-tenance for your car. If you don’t change the oil, rotate the tires or change the air filter, your car may not run or work as efficiently as pos-sible. And usually the price to fix the car af-ter not maintaining it can be significant. The same holds true for your HVAC systems. The cost of replacing or repairing equipment that is not maintained is almost always more expen-sive than the cost of maintaining equipment in the first place. The best example of how much more cost efficient maintaining equip-ment can be is in the life span of equipment. For example, a piece of equipment has a cer-tain amount of years that it can be expected to work properly and effectively. Like a car though, years of wear and tear shorten that amount of time. Properly maintaining equip-ment helps to lessen the wear and tear, and to lengthen the amount of time that a unit can work effectively. And not maintaining a piece of equipment could have big consequences as it may lead to having to completely replace a unit and the costs associated with a new unit. Here are some quick tips to maintaining equipment: 1. Change Air Filters-Filters should be checked monthly and replaced once every 3 months. Dirty filters restrict air flow and cause units to not work as efficiently as possible.2. Clean Coils-A dirty coil can affect the total heating and cooling capacity of your system. This could lead to increased energy costs and more costly repairs.3. Check for leaks-Checking the system for any visible leaks or cracks in piping can avoid major problems down the road.4. Clear away debris from unit-Keeping debris such as leaves, branches and snow away from the unit can help to maximize air flow. These are just a few simple tips that you can do to protect the investment that you made in an HVAC system. A professional service provider such as National HVAC Service can offer a more detailed and precise maintenance program that will allow maximum efficiency of your system. National HVAC Service is an industry leader in maintaining, servicing, designing and installing HVAC systems with years of experience working in the commercial,

industrial and residential markets. Give us a call at (570) 825-2894 to find out more about the solutions that we can provide for any of your HVAC needs. Energy Saving Tip-New thermostats are more energy efficient and add more comfort-able conditions with less temperature swings than older thermostats found in most house-holds. The majority of new thermostats also have the ability to be programmed for specific time and temperature to make sure that you are maximizing efficiency to reduce energy consumption and save you money.

FLEAS!by Dr. Kenneth trippett, West hazleton veterinary hospital

This year has been one of the worse flea years that we ever seen! Flea infestations started in March, and have been getting pro-gressively worse for the last 6 months. Late September and October are traditionally the worst months for fleas, so be ready! Contrary to popular belief, adult fleas do not live on your pets. They spent about 10% of their time on animals and the other 90% of the time in the environment (your nice, warm and cozy house). If you use a shampoo to kill 100% of the adult fleas on your pets, you have only taken care of 10% of your adult flea problem. To make matters even worse,

each adult flea lays up to 100 flea eggs. If you use sprays to kill 100% of the adult fleas on your pets and in the house, you have only taken care of 1-2% of your total flea problem. Remember that when it comes to fleas, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. At the West Hazleton Veterinary Hos-pital, we recommend using a good spot-on such as Frontline Plus (not one of the copy cat products), or a systemic preventative such as Trifexis, before the fleas invade. If you al-ready have a flea problem, please contacts us, at 570-455-2580, for a complimentary tele-phone consult on the steps necessary to get rid of fleas. P

The cookie jar held a place of honor in American kitchens in the 1950s and 1960s when it was part of the overall home décor as well as an important piece of serving ware. Cookie jars were of good size in order to hold many cookies for America’s growing families in the years following World War II. The fact that these vintage collect-ibles were positioned in “the front lines” (a.k.a., on the kitchen countertop) of busy post-war American kitchens makes their condition a vital trait when assess-ing their appraised value on the collectibles market. Chips, cracks, and scratches to the sur-face decoration are key factors when evaluating these vintage cookie jars. The American baby boom sparked cookie

jar production as Americans were having more babies and eating more cookies during the

late 1940s and 1950s. Over

the decades, cookie jars featured popular char-acters and cultural icons such as Felix

the Cat, How-dy Doody, Mickey

Mouse, Snow White, World War II American G. I.s, and Betty Boop, to name a few. The variety of cookie jars and the opportunity to collect so many different examples may con-tribute to the fact that many collectors just can’t stop collecting these cherished objects from childhood. With cookie jars as with cookies, it’s diffi-cult to have just one. I have reviewed cookie jar collections all over the United States and most are assembled in large numbers of cookie jars dating from the 1950s with values for the col-lections reaching into the $10,000 to $20,000 range. Some examples of the market for good quality cookie jars in good condition from the mid 1900s include a Brush Pottery company cookie jar in the shape of a cow resembling the famous Borden milk mascot named Elsie from circa 1945-50 is worth $500. McCoy’s

Aunt Jemima cookie jar sold for $325, a Robinson-Rans-bottom Pottery firm’s Oscar cookie jar brought $500, and the popular Little Red Riding Hood cookie jar by Hull commanded $1,500 recently. Nursery rhyme characters were among the most common types of cookie jars such as Humpty Dumpty, the Little Old Woman who lived in a Shoe, and Puss n Boots, to name a few. It makes per-fect sense that nursery rhymes would be the featured theme for cookie jars as the characters were recognizable to youngsters. In the late 1980s, after the death of Pop artist Andy Warhol, the cookie jar market en-joyed a market spike. Warhol was an enthusi-astic collector of cookie jars and viewed them as important objects of American culture. His famous estate auction brought cookie jar col-lecting to the forefront and put the sweet col-lectibles on the map. Warhol’s collection of hundreds of vintage cookie jars brought more than $250,000 at auction. The Warhol auction attracted new collectors to amass American cookie jars. Today, collectors remain commit-ted to the cookie jar category and amass large numbers of jars from Maine to California. P

What are Wrinkles ?by Debi Shandrick Aesthetician & owner of the Skin care center at robert Stevens face & Body

A wrinkle is little more than a wound to the skin. Think about it like this, if you fall down and scrape your knee, your body jumps into action and grows new skin cells to heal the wound. A wrinkle, however, is different: it requires the same skin cell growth to heal it; however the damage is not significant enough to trigger your skin’s growth mechanism. This is compounded by the fact that as we age we have a reduced ability to grow new skin cells.Skin cells are grown and then they divide, which is called regeneration. When we are young we have plenty of skin cells growing and regenerating all the time. This keeps

the elastin and collagen count very high in your skin. These structural fibers maintain the skin’s firmness and lack of wrinkles. The problem is that our skin cells can only divide a certain number of times, so as we age our ability to maintain wrinkle free skin is dra-matically impacted. This slowed growth and regeneration rate is the reason we start to see fine lines and of course wrinkles and sagging as we age. The only way to treat this issue is to ensure that you stimulate new skin cell growth on a regular basis. New skin cells can then di-vide and begin the process all over again. But

without stimulating new skin cell growth, our skin will continue to age, and the damage we incurred over the years will show more and more in our face. There are a few ways to stimulate that skin cell growth and a few name ingredients that have proven to do so efficiently. Far and away our 4-Step Anti-Aging Kit in-gredients have proven to be the best in treat-ing this process. While many wrinkle creams may contain some of the same ingredients, not all formulas are created equally. Our sys-tem penetrates deep into the skin and helps the skin regenerate itself at a cellular level. Please schedule a free consultation so that I may determine your needs so that the proper skin care regimen is prescribed for the best results. P

Coal Region Well Represented in 1948 Bowman Football Set The 1948 Bowman Football set is consid-ered to be the first football set of the mod-ern era which includes only players from the NFL, not the All-American football confer-ence or college ones. The set is made up of black and white 2 and 1/16th by 2 ½ inch cards. The name or team of the player is not shown on the front of the card, only the pic-ture of the player, many of which are por-traits. The backs of the cards offer interesting biographical information. In 1948, Leaf gum offered a more attractive color football set of 98 players with mainly NFL players but some college ones as well. The 1948 Bowman set consisted of 108 cards with the rookie card of Sammy Baugh at $450 in near mint con-dition being the most expensive one; Johnny Lujack and Charlie Conerly were the next highest priced cards at $320. Slinging Sam-my Baugh was also the most expensive card in the Leaf set with a similar price tag, the rookie card of Chuck Bednarik next at $400 and Bobby Layne, Sid Luckman and eventual baseball star, Jackie Jensen following at $300 each. What I feel is interesting is that the 1948 Bowman set offers cards of five Coal Region players: Charlie Trippi of Pittston whom I wrote about in last month’s Panorama, Mike Holovak of Lansford, Chuck Cherundolo of Old Forge, Jack Koniszewski of Dickson City and Joe Tereshinski of Glen Lyon. Trippi, who was bypassed by Fordham, starred at Georgia and for the Chicago Cardinals. He is the most famous of the five in both the col-lege and Pro-football Hall of Fames. Charlie Trippi is also the only one of the five coal re-gion players to be featured in the 1948 Leaf set as well. Both 1948 Bowman and Leaf cards of Trippi are valued at $100 each in ex-

cellent to mint condition. Trippi was born in 1922 or 1921 according to different sources. I favor the 1922 date. Trippi, for many years, participated in card shows and his autography is easily obtainable. Chuck Cherundolo of Old Forge played college ball for Penn State where he was the team captain in 1936 and became a college All-American. He had a very successful career in the NFL beginning in 1937. Cherundolo played center and linebacker and made sev-eral NFL All-Star teams. Chuck Cherundolo later became an assistant coach in the NFL for more than twenty years. In 2007, Cherundo-lo was selected as the best center in the Pitts-burgh Steelers history through 1970. He was one of the most popular players during his six year stint with the club. At 96, Cherundolo is the fourth oldest living NFL veteran. The 1948 Bowman card of Cherundolo is rela-tively easy to obtain and can be purchased for $20 – $25 in excellent-mint condition. Of the five coal region players in the Bow-man set, perhaps Lansford’s Mike Holovak has had the most influence on the game of football. Holovak was one of six children, five brothers and a sister born to Czech immi-grants. After a good high school career, Mike Holovak went on to star for Boston College for three years. Holovak played under the great Frank Leahy who became a legendary Notre Dame Coach, and once headed the Boston College program. In 1943, Holovak won All-American honors and led his team to victory in the Orange Bowl by rushing for 158 yards on only 10 carries. Mike Holovak finished fourth in the Heisman voting his se-nior year. Holovak was a first round pick of the Cleveland Rams, later the L.A. Rams in 1943,

but never got to play for Cleveland due to the war. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy and com-manded a PT boat that sank nine Japanese ships. However, his brother, Pete, who was a good running back for Fordham, though not a star, was killed in the war in 1944. In 1946, Mike Holovak played for the L.A. Rams and gained 211 yards and tallied three touch-downs. Holovak was traded to the Chicago Bears in 1947 and was their leading rusher that year and also in 1948, albeit the Bears were a pass oriented team. Mike Holovak re-tired before the 1949 season. Holovak became the coach of his Alma Mater, Boston College, and went 49-29-3 in a nine year period. Later, Holovak coached the Patriots and compiled a 53-47-9 record and was named the AFL coach of the year in 1964. He later was active in many areas of pro-football, doing some coaching, scouting and holding a GM position. Mike Holovak died at age 88 in Florida in 2008. Holovak was elected to the college Hall of Fame as a player. A Mike Holovak 1948 Bowman card is worth about $50 in near mint condition and around $35 in excellent-mint shape. Jack Koniszewski of Dickson City was a three sport star at George Washington Uni-versity from 1939-1943. In 1943, he was All-Southern Conference in basketball and made honorable mention All-American in football. Initially, Koniszewski was drafted by the Ea-gles, but the war interrupted his career, like so many other athletes of his day. Jack Konisze-wski did play some minor league baseball for the Scranton Red Sox before entering the Marine Corps. After earning a purple heart in the Marine Corps, Koniszewski became a two-way tackle for the Washington Redskins from 1945-49.

Koniszewski served the University of Scranton as both an assistant and head base-ball coach and also as assistant and head foot-ball coach. He was also a PIAA official for 25 years. Koniszewski is in the George Washing-ton University Hall of Fame as a player and the University of Scranton Hall of Fame as a coach. All the cards in the 1948 Bowman football set that are divisible by three are short printed. Because of this, the Jack Koniszewski card, number 24, is worth $100 in near mint condition. A nice card of Koniszewski in very good-excellent runs about $30-35. Jack Koniszewski died in 2003 at the age of 82. Joe Tereshinski Sr. is card number one in the 1948 Bowman set which makes it worth many times more than if it were a dif-ferent number. The first and last cards of a set more frequently suffer crease or damages in production than other cards. Tereshinski was born in Glen Lyon, Pa., and like Charlie

end for Wake Forest. As stated, because his card is the num-ber one card in the 1948 Bowman set, it is worth around $150 or so in mint condition. A high graded card such as a nine has sold for over $3,000. Usually a VG-EX card can be purchased for $50 or $60 or less if one is lucky. The 1948 card of Tereshinski is one of my all-time favorites, since Tereshinski, in my opinion, looks like WNEP weather-man, Joe Snedeker. Joe Tereshinski appears also on 1950 and 1953 Bowman cards, but does not resemble Joe Snedeker on either. Joe Tereshinski is 88 years old and living in Bethesda, Maryland. P

Trippi, played college ball for the University of Georgia. In fact, he was Trippi’s room-mate. Joe Tereshinski was drafted in the 13th round of the 1946 NFL draft and played for the Washington Redskins from 1947-54 as a tight end and linebacker. He played high school football for Newport Township before his college career with Georgia. Dur-ing his years at Georgia when they had the great teams led by Charlie Trippi, his team went 31-3 with three bowl game victories, the Rose, Sugar, and Oil (held in Houston). Tereshinski played with the College All-Star in 1947 when they defeated the NFL cham-pion Bears 16-0. Throughout his pro career, Joe Tereshinski was considered a better defen-sive than offensive player. He is the father of former Georgia players Joe Tereshinski Jr. and Wally Tereshinski. Grandson, Joe Tereshinski III was a starting quarterback for Georgia and another grandson, John, was a starting tight

Is your pet continually scratching, biting and licking itself? “I’ve got to get this dog in right away. He’s driving us nuts. All he does is itch and scratch, bite and lick and he’s keeping us up all night!" Sound familiar? Well, take comfort because you are not alone. One of the most common visits to any animal hospital is for allergy symp-toms. If this constant behavior is driving you crazy, just think how awful your pet must feel! Like all allergic reactions, pet allergies are the result of an immune system reaction to a par-ticular substance, causing misery for your pet. These allergic reactions can be due to fleas or other external parasites, environmental or food allergies, bacterial or yeast infections or even be-havioral issues. We can use all types of drug therapies to re-duce itching, which is a good thing. However, drugs that simply block immune responses or regulation systems often have strong and undesirable side effects. A diagnosis can be reached with laboratory testing or skin

scrapings; however, a referral to a veterinary dermatologist might be required to reach a final diagnosis. It’s important to do more than just stop the itching. A blood test can check for antigen-induced antibodies in the blood. Once the allergens are identified, diet changes or immunotherapy treatment, if necessary can begin. Immunotherapy is one of the safest, most effective long-term treatments for allergies. It is the only therapy that targets the root cause of allergic reactions, unlike other treat-ments that just mask the symptoms. However, it’s important that a pet owner understands the process involved and what their role is in help-ing to manage the allergy by following a strict regimen. Patience and persistence in identifying and treating pet allergies is the best approach. Although efforts at finding and treating a solution to pet discomfort may be lengthy, it will lead to a happier, more comfortable com-panion. P

I’ve always said that the polka music industry is blessed with some of the finest musi-cians of any musi-cal genre. Wally D o m b r o w s k i from the Polka Country Musi-cians is one such

artist. Wally’s journey into music began when he started taking trumpet lessons at five years of age. Once he mastered the basics of the in-strument, he would play by ear along with re-cordings at home and without the aid of any written music. At age six, he taught himself to play concertina. In 1977, when Wally was nine years old, his brother Rich organized the Polka Country Musicians and the band started performing at local functions throughout Connecticut.Along the way, Wally took piano lessons, but used his ear and his innate God-given mu-sical gift to teach himself other instruments. As the popularity of the Polka Country Mu-sicians grew throughout New England and the northeastern United States, Wally was featured not only on concertina and trum-pet, but eventually on bass, drums, violin and clarinet. As his musical prowess grew, Wally began handling the arranging of music for the band, and co-writing songs with his brother. Over a five year period, the band’s popularity grew with the release of their first three recordings.Wally and the Polka Country Musicians got their first “big break” when they were asked to record on the WRS label out of Cleve-land, Ohio in the late 1980s. This yielded two highly successful recordings that took the band well beyond their regional popular-ity. Wally and the Polka Country Musicians brought forth a unique musical style--one that combined polka music with an influence of country. The band's "overnight success" (which was about 16 years in the making) reached its high point with the release of the "Live-... And Jam" recording, which was recorded live in Cleveland, Ohio over a two-day period.At the end of 1997, and at the height of their popularity, the Polka Country Musicians was forced to disband. This was due to various commitments that took a few members away from the band.

For the next two years, talk continued about the band and how greatly it was missed in the polka field. Recognizing that polka fans wanted them back, Wally reformed the Polka Country Musicians in the year 2000. This re-sulted in the band performing a few reunion dates at major festivals across the country. What was supposed to be just a few reunion dates eventually turned into something more permanent as demand to see the band grew. Consequently, by 2003, the Polka Country Musicians were once again a major fixture in the polka field. In addition to being an exceptional mu-sician, vocalist, music arranger, bandleader, songwriter and music publisher, Wally has appeared on 18 recordings with the Polka Country Musicians as well as two solo re-cordings. In addition, he has appeared on recordings by Eddie Blazonczyk’s Versatones, Stas Bulanda, The Brass Connection and the Polkas For Charity recording, the proceeds of which were donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. In August of 2012, Wally Dombrowski was inducted by the International Polka As-sociation as the newest member of the “Polka Music Hall of Fame.” This is a well deserved honor for a very talented musician. He shares this honor with such polka greats as Frank Wojnarowski, Jimmy Sturr, Marion Lush, and Eddie Blazonczyk, Sr. Congratulations, Wally. As we close, don’t forget about “The Pol-ka Connection” every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. on 1490 WAZL. “The coolest polka show on the radio.” You can also listen on-line at www.wazlam.com.

World Renowned Professional Psychic in our area

Soon it will be time to pick out that per-fect Halloween costume with children, adults and even the family pets getting into the sea-son, decorating inside and out. Some homes and businesses may already be displaying their ghosts & Goblins, preparing to pick out the perfect pumpkin to be carved into a Jack-O-Lantern. Schools and communities are planning their “Halloween Parades.” Kids are practicing their most famous “Trick or Treat” jokes, songs, and sayings as they get ready to go door to door collecting treats and goodies. Halloween has become secular, a community event where many use the activities above to usher in the colder nights, the shorter days and the winter season. History tells us a different meaning; it describes the origin of Halloween (October 31st) as a ceremony to honor the dead and a time where many could see between worlds. All Hallows Eve, the night preceding All Hal-lows day (November 1st) for centuries has been considered as one of the most magical nights of the year. Spirits were allowed to come back to visit and the living would dress up in costumes and masks so the spirits would not bother them. Parades were held to try to lead the spirits out of town. The pumpkins were carved to remember souls in purgatory. Hallows Eve is a time to remember those who have passed; the one night when the dead re-turn to celebrate with their living family and friends. For one local resident however, Hallows Eve occurs over and over again in her daily life. I had the opportunity to sit down with her at her Berwick residence and speak one on one, well, except for all the orbs and spirits around us. Shirlet Enama, a world renowned psychic and reiki master, who has been doing readings for over 20 years, believes Halloween should be celebrated in its origin, in a positive way. She feels it is important to honor loved ones that have passed over and communicate with them on Halloween (Hallows Eve).Shirlet says she was born with a gift to see and talk to spirits and is able to see illnesses in people’s bodies, see the aura, spirits, and enti-ties. She believes all children and animals are born with psychic gifts, although children lose these psychic gifts between the ages of

10 to 14. However, her psychic gifts were always developed at a higher level and like the animals, whom she says always keeps them, she never lost any of hers. As a child you wouldn’t find Shirlet playing at the park, but at the cem-etery playing with the children who in her mind were alive. She started doing readings at the age of 11; she would find herself helping peo-ple, she would find missing animals, and she has helped and is still aiding authori-ties with abductions, missing persons and murders. People be-gan talking about her and word grew of her incredible abilities. People were coming to see her from all parts of California, where she lived at the time, even flying in from all over the world. Since then, Shirlet reads for countless celebrities, musicians, and some of the top TV person-alities. Currently, she is working on her life biography and two books of information on the spirit world and what they taught her. She is hoping that her life story and books will help save many lives. Throughout our talk, which she says was led by the spirits telling her what she was al-lowed to say and not say, Shirlet describes how she believes there are millions of spir-its on this planet. Many stay to watch over a loved one. They can travel from location to location at the speed of thought. She con-tinuously repeated the words “I am helping to save people's lives.” She says if you save one life you've done something. Even as a Reiki Master she has been taught extensively; she lived in the Monastery and was taught by the Monks whose amazing powers healed those

diseased. She shared with me stories of the weather in the coming year such as extreme tornadoes, severe electrical storms, earth-quakes and volcanoes erupting. We discussed hauntings, people looking through haunted houses; she goes on to describe how she can't go anywhere near an older home or building, without the spirits who are residing there, telling her about the lives of those people and how they died. There are many stories of reuniting others with their passed loved ones, how she stopped tragedy dead in its tracks and so much more. Shirlet is back in the Ber-wick area and would be happy to share her gift with you.

Art in bloom

The Hazleton Art League and the Hazle-ton Area Garden Club will again present “Art in Bloom” from 7 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 26.“Last year’s show, our first, was very well re-ceived so we’re doing it again to give more community members a chance to attend,” said art league board member Barbara Grosso, who is also an organizer of “Art in Bloom.” She explained that members of the garden club create floral arrangements to correspond to an arrangement in a painting currently in the art league collection. The floral arrange-ments and art will be displayed in the league gallery for visitors on opening night and light refreshments will be served. The gallery will also be open to “Art in Bloom” visitors from 2 to 4 p.m. on October 27 and October 28. Entry donation is $5.00. The Hazleton Art League is located at 225 East Broad St. For more information, call Barbara Grosso at 570-454-5877 or e-mail her at [email protected]. P

(Family Features) This Halloween, why not put a fun twist on pumpkin carving by making some Jack O'Melons? Watermelons carve up boo-tifully, and you can eat the fruit right away, making it easy to scare up some delicious Halloween fun. Watermelons are a healthy addition to any Halloween party. They're the lycopene leader among fresh produce, are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, and contain 6 percent of the daily value for vitamin B6 - all of which boost your immune system. This Bat Jack O'Melon can add a fright-fully fun touch to a Halloween party - and the whole family can help carve. To get more carving ideas and instructions, visit www.watermelon.org.

Bat Jack O'Melon2 round watermelons, preferably yellow, for the bodyKitchen and paring knivesCutting boardGreen dry-erase marker (preferably washable)Large bowl and spoonCandy corns4 to 6-inch wooden skewersToothpicks

Candle or lightDirections: Wash watermelons under cool running water and pat dry. On a cutting board, place the roundest watermelon on its side and cut off 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the stem end, being careful not to cut too deep into the white part of the rind. This will provide a sturdy base. Using dry-erase marker, draw two eyes, an oval for a nose and a smiling mouth that would resemble a bat. Draw two ears and an outline of a forehead, continuing the line around to make the top for the bat that will be removed. Use a knife to carefully cut away inside of the eyes, nose and mouth and also around the top of watermelon. Remove top and hol-low out watermelon with spoon, reserving fruit to use in a fruit salad or punch. On the second watermelon, use dry-erase marker to draw 2 bat wings (the top of the wings will have 2 points and the bottom of the wings will have 2 points.) Use knife to carefully cut wings out, re-serving inside of watermelon to make fruit salad or punch. Attach wings to side of watermelon bat

with wooden skewers, and use toothpicks to attach candy-corn as fangs. Insert a candle to light up your bat.

Carving Tips• Have the watermelon at room tem-perature when you carve. The cuts will be easier to make. You can chill the water-melon in the refrigerator after cutting and before serving.• After you've drawn the design on the rind, insert toothpicks in key places to use as guides for your cuts.• Use a sharp knife with a pointed tip - the sharper the knife, the easier and cleaner the cuts will be. • When attaching cut pieces on the wa-termelon to make your design, use round toothpicks or skewers. Flat toothpicks will often break due to the weight of the piece or the thickness of the rind.

The large canvases Jackson Pollock used for his Abstract Expressionist action paint-ings were usually laid flat on the floor while he painted. Pollock was a chain smoker and would frequently paint with a ciga-rette hanging from his lips. This led to the incorporation of cigarette ashes into the surface of some of his works.

In the Kitchenwith Joan Barbush

Now that school has been in session for the year, and the fall season has begun, we try to think of lunches and dinners that will comfort us during the beginning of this cool season. It won’t be long before we will see the snow start to fall again. As the Queen of the kitchen we need to warm our families up from the inside out and we can begin that this month. October is a month for harvesting orchard

fruits and picking potatoes. Earlier this century school holidays were or-ganized to allow country children to help on the farms, when half term was known as 'po-tato week' or some equal title. Shorter days and darker evenings are a clear sign that autumn has set in, and tradi-tional cooking activities reflect the need to stock up for winter. Hope you enjoy! P

Immigrants coming to our country brought with them, not only their native languages, reli-gion and recipes, but also many different super-stitions. As these people mingled and came to know each other better, they began to share all these things. They soon found they had many common bonds. Halloween had its origins some 2,000 years ago in the solemn rites of the ancient druids who worshipped the sun-god Baal. The Druids gave thanks to the sun-god for their annual harvests. For the Druids, this day marked the end of sum-mer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter. On October 31, they celebrat-ed Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. Great bonfires were lit which illuminated the hills, and sacrifices were offered, both animals and humans. The hu-mans were usually criminals, or those who were considered criminally insane. The Druids also practiced the custom of dressing up in costumes in order to trick evil spirits into staying away. It was Christianity that gave “Halloween” its name if not its customs. Pope Gregory IV estab-lished the first day of November in the Christian calendar as “All Saints Day” to remember and honor all the saints of the church: and, the last day of October as All-Hallows Eve”. Through time “All-Hallows Eve” was shortened to “Hal-loween”. All Hallows Eve was the church’s at-tempt to combine a Pagan celebration with a holy day in order to keep their converts happy. Legends of the early Scottish and Irish, who were descendants of the Celts, thrived on the be-lief that their world was inhabited by “goblins”. At first these imaginary creatures were believed to be the ghosts of ancient kings and heroes. It was also thought that they were bigger and more grand and beautiful than ordinary men. How-ever, the mere sound of Christian bells shriveled their gigantic size down until they became “the wee people”. Early Irish and Scottish American settlers

began the custom of gathering at a farm-house on October 31st where they engaged in games and supersti-tious rites designed to bring good luck or to foretell the future. These annual gatherings be-came known as “snap-apple night” or nut-crack night”. Ghost stories were told and games involv-ing the foods that contributed the most to the harvest were played. Nuts were placed on stones in the open fire. As the nuts roasted, couples watched carefully to see how the nuts burned. If the nuts burned evenly and turned into ashes together, then it indicated that the couple might be expected a long and happy life together. But, if the nuts sputtered and flew apart, it predicted bitter quarrels and separation. The German speaking immigrants began to arrive in the US in the 17th century. They brought with them a religious custom they had practiced in their homeland. It was an autumn festival to mark the end of the growing season. It was observed in the Lutheran Church ceremo-nies on the first Sunday in October. Immigrants from the Rhineland area of Ger-many who settled in Southern Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania Dutch) were highly superstitious and contributed much to the way Halloween is observed. These hard-working and plain-living people had a generous sense of humor. Another prank would be to remove gates from their posts and carry them away and hide them in some unsuspected place – such as on the roof of the outhouse. Some rowdy pranksters would even overturn the outhouse. Some cautious neigh-bors, hoping to avoid the pranks would invite the mischief makers indoors and gen them a treat of sweet cider and homemade pretzels. Today’s youngsters refer to this custom as “trick or treat”. After the great famine in Ireland and the immi-gration to America, Irish settlers also maintained

a renowned sense of humor and found time for pranks and Hal-loween mischief which they could readily blame on the wee people or leprechauns or goblins. The pumpkin which Native Americans intro-duced to the settlers later became the symbol of harvest. The famous “Jack-O-Lantern” began as an Irish tradition; however, in the early days there were no pumpkins or even a squash to be found in all of Ireland. So the youngsters there would take an oversized rutabaga, potato or turnip, hol-low it out and carve an impish face with a wide mischievous grin or a sinister scowl. In Mexico, November 2nd is known as “the day of the dead”. The people believe that the de-ceased came to visit the living on that day. They set up altars in their home and adorn them with food and flowers. If the deceased was a child, toys and candy are place on the altar. The chil-dren celebrate the day by giving each other skulls made out of sugar with their names printed on them. The superstitions of our ancestors have not lain themselves to a peaceful rest. They dance and cavort through the collective unconscious of the people and emerge each October 31 to once again remind us of our tribal roots. All Hallows Eve is approaching and if any witches or goblins come to your door, give them a treat as they may be the real thing.Eckley Miners’ Village Haunted Lantern Tours

In spirit of Halloween, Hard Coal takes a quick stroll through the area’s cemeter-ies in search of our area’s baseball heritage. Cemeteries provide for quite the imagery in movies and novels, conjuring up images of ghosts and evil spirits. In reality, cemeter-ies are places of honor and ceremony. Cem-eteries tell the story of us, not the end of the story but our continuing story. Historians find some of their most reliable information at these sites, because information is literally carved in stone. Genealogist both, profes-sional and amateur alike, use cemeteries as one their greatest reference source. In our area there is a little cemetery at edge of Black Creek Township, where dozens of Civil War Veterans lay at rest, as continu-ing reminder the sacrifices the smallest of communities made for liberty and country. Many of the cemeteries in the area show a spike in deaths in 1918, showing that North-east Pennsylvania was not immune from a worldwide flu epidemic. In our area it’s not uncommon to notice many young men passed away in the 1800’s and early 1900’s a reminder of the dangers of the coal mines and the early industrial revolution. From a base-ball perspective the local cemeteries become a starting point to research long forgotten local athletes. A place to find out about their lives after their careers had ended and to see where the story ended. According to baseballreference.com there are over 100 players buried in area cemeteries, including hall of famers Christy Mathewson, Bucky Harris, Hughie Jennings and Umpire Nestor Chylak. Maybe the most famous of them all is Jim Thorpe. Thorpe was more fa-mous as an Olympian and a football player, but he played parts of 13 seasons in profes-sional ball, including 6 in the majors.

Christy MathewsonChristy Mathewson of Factoryville is buried in the Lewisburg City Cemetery. Lewisburg

is the home of Bucknell Uni-versity where Mathewson at-tended school and starred in three sports. He is buried with his wife and son. Mathewson died at 45 from complications of being exposed to poison

gas during a training ex-ercise shortly after WWI. His son passed away at 44, killed

in the Korean War. His brother Henry who played briefly in the majors is buried in Factoryville. Walter Blair who managed briefly in ma-jors is also buried there.

Bucky HarrisBucky Harris was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1975. Harris spent more than 50 years in baseball as

player, manager, general manager and scout. At the age of 27 he achieved a rare feat by leading the lowly Washington Senators to a World Series title in 1924. The only World Series title for Washington D.C. Harris is buried at the German Protestant Cemetery in Hughestown, near Pittston. One interesting note Harris died on his birthday.

Hughie JenningsHughie Jen-nings was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1945 after a success-ful career as

both a player and manager. Jennings ranks in the top 100 for all-time batting average,

on base percentage, stolen bases and is the all-time leader in hit by pitch.

Jennings was also instrumental in signing Hall-Of-Famer

Bucky Harris. Jennings’ local

story is familiar to many in our area. One of twelve children, he quit school to work in the coal mines. Jennings used baseball to escape the mines. Jennings is buried in St Cath-erine’s Cemetery in Moscow. St Catherine’s is the final resting place for five other major league players.

Nestor ChylakN e s t o r Chylak is one of only nine umpires enshrined in the Hall Of Fame. Chylak who was born

in Olyphant, was decorated veteran serving during WWII before entering baseball. He was injured during the Battle of the Bulge, earning the Silver Star and the Purple Heart. Chylak umpired in five World Series, and six all-star games. He was also involved in two of the more bizarre incidents in MLB history. 10-cent beer night in Cleveland where the crowd became so unruly the game had to be forfeited. As an umpire supervisor after his re-tirement he was at the disco-demolition night in Chicago. The crowd and field became so bad, he ruled that that second game of dou-ble header could not be played and the White Sox forfeited the next day. Chylak is buried at Methodius Church Cemetery in Peckville, PA.

Jim ThorpeJim Thorpe is not only buried in our area, the towns of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch C h u n k

merged and renamed themselves after Jim Thorpe. Thorpe's widow was angry when the

Oklahoma state government would not erect a memorial in his honor. When she heard that the small Pennsylvania towns of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk were seeking to attract business, she made a deal with town officials. The towns bought Thorpe's re-mains, erected a monument to him, merged, and renamed the newly united town in his honor Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania even though Thorpe had never been there. The monu-ment site contains his tomb, two statues of him in athletic poses, and historical markers describing his life story.

Where to Look There are many resources to find infor-mation about the obituaries and cemeteries of the areas. Findagrave.com, locategrave.org, and U.S. census information are just some of the sites we use to gather general information. The more specific baseball sites are baseball-reference.com, baseball-almanac.com, and thedeadballera.com. Thedeadballera.com is site totally dedicated to the obituaries of for-mer players. St Mary’s Cemetery in Wilkes-Barre is the final resting place for nine former major league players and former congressman Dan Flood. Wildwood Cemetery in Williamsport has six players. There are many other cem-eteries in Hazleton, Freeland, Drums and

in Schuylkill County that can be found at the sites listed above. We would also like to thank Panorama’s own Father McHugh for recommending “Invincible Summer” by Dave D’Antonio. Antonio spent a sum-mer traveling the United States in search of the grave sites of Hall of Famers. One of the stories involves State Rep Tommy Tigue of Pittston assisting the author in finding the graves of Bucky Harris and Hughie Jennings.

Warming Up in the PenIn the upcoming months, we will be talking with Paul Browne of Carbondale about his new book about the Negro League playing in

Northeast Pennsylvania. Also we will be re-capping the seasons of our local professional players and an update from the 20th reunion of "A League Of Their Own" held recently in Cooperstown.

Misconceptions aboutbankruptcy

The Law Office of Christy M. DeMelfi, PC is a debt relief agency and assists people with filing for backruptcy relief.

I have written several ar-ticles trying to “set the record straight” on the incorrect statements that people are told about bankruptcy. Despite my efforts to keep people informed, every month at least one client comes to me saying “someone told me …” (insert any comment you have heard about bankruptcy). It amazes me to hear the incorrect things that people are told about bankruptcy and that many people believe everything they are told. Trust me on one thing… do not listen to anything anyone tells you about bankrupt-cy, unless they are an attorney who deals with bankruptcy on a daily basis. Contrary to many people’s belief, you are not going to lose all your property if you file for bankruptcy. People who file for bankrupt-cy are allowed to keep any property that is “exempt”. Many people have only “exempt” property; therefore, they keep everything they have including their car and home. Another common misconception I hear is when a client says that someone told them to file Chapter 11. However, most individu-als do not file a Chapter 11! Chapter 11 is a reorganizational bankruptcy for businesses or high net-worth individuals. Take the advice of a person who is not a bankruptcy attorney with a grain of salt. Most of the time, they are wrong! There are many well qualified bankruptcy attorneys who will be happy to answer your questions honestly and accurately. There is no need to rely on the “want-to-be” experts! P

Pennsylvania enacted a new Child Cus-tody Act, effective January 24, 2011. Even if a custody arrangement was in existence before January 24, 2011, this act applies to all hear-ings after that date. As part of this act, a party cannot “relocate” without Court approval or consent of every other individual who has cus-tody rights to the child. The first question is whether every move is a “relocation”. The Child Custody Act de-fines relocation as, “A change in residence of the child which significantly impairs the ability of the nonrelocating party to exercise custodial rights.” The Superior Court has already ad-dressed this. In one case, the Court considered a move to be a “relocation”, even though the result would mean that the other parent would have more time with the child. As with most issues in family law, the circumstances of each case must be considered. A party seeking to relocate must provide no-tice before doing so. The Act provides a proce-dure for objections, modifications to custody orders, a hearing and court approval. A party facing any situation like this would do well to seek legal assistance from an attorney. A failure to follow the proper procedures may be held against the moving party.

Ultimately, unless the par-ties consent, the Court must consider 16 factors set forth in the relocation statute to determine whether to approve the re-location request. In addition, the Court must consider additional factors which are generally applicable to custody arrangements to deter-mine whether to modify an existing custody order. It is the burden of the relocating party to establish that relocation will serve the best interests of the child. Further, each party must establish the integrity of his or her motives in seeking or opposing relocation. Therefore, it is important for the party seeking to relocate to put forth a good case for meeting the factors that the Court will consider. Our office represents people in custody dis-putes, including relocation. If you need help, call The Seach Law Offices at 359-3283. P

SupplementalSecurity Income (SSI):Forty Years of helping people in need

by edward fordSocial Security

Area Director The Social Security Amendments of 1972 cre-ated a new federal benefit program. This month, that program — the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pro-gram — celebrates its 40th anniversary. Administered by Social Security, SSI is a needs-based program for people 65 or older, blind, or disabled who have limited income and resources. For income, we count things such as wages, Social Security benefits, and pensions. However, Social Security does not count all of your income when it decides whether you qualify for SSI. For example, we don’t count food stamps or most home energy assistance. For resources, we count the things you own, such as real estate (other than the home you live in), bank accounts, cash, stocks, and bonds. A person with resources worth no more than $2,000 may be able to get SSI. The resource limit is $3,000 for couples. To qualify for SSI, you also must live in the United States or the Northern Mariana Islands and be a U.S. citizen or national. In rare cases, noncitizen residents can qualify for SSI. If you live in certain types of institutions or live in a shelter for the homeless, you may qualify for SSI. People with blindness or a disability who apply for SSI may be able to get free special services to help them work. These services may include counseling and job training. The monthly maximum federal SSI pay-ment is the same nationwide and amounts to $698 for an individual and $1,048 for a couple. However, the amount you receive de-pends on factors such as where you live, your living arrangements, and your income. Some states add money to the federal payment. Funding for the SSI program comes from the general revenues of the U.S. Treasury, not from Social Security payroll taxes. To learn more about SSI, read the online publication, You May Be Able To Get Sup-plemental Security Income (SSI) at www.so-cialsecurity.gov/pubs/11069.html or visit the SSI page at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi.

— ADVErTIsEMENT —

What is the "fiscal cliff"? It's the term being used by many to describe the unique combina-tion of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to go into effect on January 1, 2013. The omi-nous term reflects the belief by some that, taken together, higher taxes and decreased spending at the levels prescribed have the potential to derail the economy. Whether we do indeed step off the cliff at the end of the year, and what exactly that will mean for the economy, depends on several factors.

Will expiring tax breaks be extended? With the "Bush tax cuts" (extended for an ad-ditional two years by legislation passed in 2010) set to sunset at the end of 2012, federal income tax rates will jump up in 2013. We'll go from six federal tax brackets (10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35%) to five (15%, 28%, 31%, 36%, and 39.6%). The maximum rate that applies to long-term capital gains will generally increase from 15% to 20%. And while the current lower long-term capital gain tax rates now apply to qualifying dividends, starting in 2013, dividends will once again be taxed as ordinary income. Additionally, the temporary 2% reduction in the Social Security portion of the Federal Insur-ance Contributions Act (FICA) payroll tax, in place for the last two years, also expires at the end of 2012. And, lower alternative minimum tax (AMT) exemption amounts mean that there will be a dramatic increase in the number of indi-viduals subject to AMT when they file their 2012 federal income tax returns in 2013.Other breaks go away in 2013 as well:• Estate and gift tax provisions will reverting to 2001 rules. • Itemized deductions and dependency exemp-tions will once again be phased out for individu-als with high adjusted gross incomes.• The earned income tax credit, the child tax credit, and the American Opportunity (Hope) tax credit all revert to old, lower limits and less generous rules.• Individuals will no longer be able to deduct student loan interest after the first 60 months of repayment. There continues to be discussion about ex-tending expiring provisions. The impasse, how-ever, centers on whether tax breaks get extended for all, or only for individuals earning $200,000 or less (households earning $250,000 or less). Many expect there to be little chance of resolu-tion until after the November election.

Will new taxes take effect in 2013? Beginning in 2013, the hospital insurance (HI) portion of the payroll tax--commonly referred to as the Medicare portion--increases by 0.9% for individuals with wages exceeding $200,000

($250,000 for married couples filing a joint federal income tax return, and $125,000 for mar-ried individuals filing separately). Also beginning in 2013, a new 3.8% Medi-care contribution tax is imposed on the unearned income of high-income individuals. This tax applies to some or all of the net investment in-come of individuals with modified adjusted gross income that exceeds $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples filing a joint federal income tax return, and $125,000 for married individuals fil-ing separately). Both of these new taxes were created by the health-care reform legislation passed in 2010--re-cently upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Su-preme Court--and it would seem unlikely that anything will prevent them from taking effect.

Will mandatory spending cuts be implemented?

The failure of the deficit reduction supercom-mittee to reach agreement back in November 2011 automatically triggered $1.2 trillion in broad-based spending cuts over a multiyear pe-riod beginning in 2013.The cuts are to be split evenly between defense spending and nonde-fense spending. Although Social Security, Med-icaid, and Medicare benefits are exempt, and cuts to Medicare provider payments cannot be more than 2%, most discretionary programs including education, transportation, and energy programs will be subject to the automatic cuts. New legisla-tion is required to avoid the automatic cuts. But while it's difficult to find anyone who believes the across-the-board cuts are a good idea, there's no consensus on how to prevent them. Like the ex-piring tax breaks, the direction the dialogue takes will likely depend on the results of the November election. Many fear that the combination of tax increases and spending cuts will have severe negative eco-nomic consequences.

Engine Technology for Fuel Economyby thomas r. Buff

Automobile manufacturers are facing in-tense scrutiny from consumers and the gov-ernment for the lack of fuel efficient automo-biles and light trucks. As gas prices continue to climb the need for fuel efficient engines is more than apparent. It is a crucial part of our economic recovery. Engineers are introduc-ing more hybrids, flex fuel vehicles and elec-tric cars but they are not the only solution. Automobile makers are now offering new technology in gasoline engines that can offer a few more miles to the gallon.• Cylinder Deactivation – sometimes called variable displacement, this engine technology allows the engine displacement to change (or get smaller) by deactivating cylinders during light load operation thus saving fuel. Most engines of this design are used in larger V-type engines but it has also been utilized in smaller engines. Although this technology is considered new, the concept is not, it has been used in the past. Cadillac introduced a V8-6-4 engine in the 80’s that used an electric

control unit to deactivate cylinders. What a concept! An eight cylinder engine that be-comes a four cylinder engine. This system was troublesome and the technology was re-tired. Presently Chrysler, Honda and General Motors have their own designs of cylinder deactivation systems that can potentially im-prove fuel efficiency by 5%.• Variable Valve Timing – VTV is a term for engine technology that allows the opening or amount of time the cylinder valves open to change while the engine is running. In easier to understand language, VVT changes the amount of air and fuel that enters the engine cylinders for more efficient combustion. For optimum performance and fuel mileage, the timing of air and fuel entering and exiting the engine is crucial. Older engine designs did in fact allow for changes in timing at high speeds but were not developed for fuel effi-ciency. Variable Valve Timing has been avail-able and used by Honda, BMW and in the Ford F-Series truck engines. This technology

can increase fuel performance by five percent.• Turbocharging and Supercharging – tur-bocharging and supercharging are becoming increasingly popular from a fuel economy standpoint. Supercharging forces large amounts of air into the engine, thus increas-ing combustion and performance. A turbo-charger on the other hand forces compressed air into the engine cylinders. A fan which is driven simply by exhaust gases leaving the engine turns an impeller that compresses and sends the warm air into the engine to mix with the fuel. Superchargers are driven by the engine itself while turbochargers use exhaust gases. Both designs have been used mainly for horsepower increases due to the fact that more air plus more fuel equals power. But today’s designs allow the air to be introduced and discharged when needed to increase com-bustion efficiency which translates to fuel ef-ficiency. This technology has been around for along time, and has been used in application ranging from large diesel engines to the Buick Park Avenue Ultra. Yes, the Buick Park Av-enue Ultra utilized a 3800 Series engine that was supercharged. • Direct Fuel Injection – this is the simplest of all of the engine designs thus far but most likely the most fuel efficient when coupled with other technology. In simple terms, di-rect fuel injection is direct; fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber on the top of the piston. Previous designs uti-lized pre combustion chambers where fuel is sprayed into a chamber before entering the cylinder, carbureted systems where fuel enters the intake manifold first and other systems that sprayed fuel into a port and mixed with air before it is pumped into the cylinder. In direct injection systems fuel is sprayed direct-ly into the cylinder so the shape and timing of the fuel air mixture can be controlled precise-ly by the electronic control unit. Remember, the more efficient the fuel burns, the lower the fuel consumption. A direct injected, tur-bocharged system will increase fuel efficency by 12%. There are many types and designs of gaso-line and diesel engines that are now built for fuel efficiency. There are also many new de-signs on the drawing board that will decrease our dependency on gasoline. Next month – Flex Fuel Systems. HAPPY MOTORING!! P

Eight Hot Tips forBattery Care

(NAPSA)-More automobile batteries fail in the heat than in the extreme cold, and hot-weather conditions can cause more stress on a battery than frigid temperatures. With tem-peratures at their annual highs, motorists can protect and care for that part of the vehicle a driver depends on most every day.Battery temperatures under the hood of an automobile can reach 175 to 200 degrees in extreme conditions, affecting the corrosion factor within the battery. The extreme heat can make the acid and the fluid inside the battery expand, which can cause it to start leaking, and that leads to battery failure in the long run. It's important for motorists to take the necessary precaution of getting their vehicle battery checked on a regular basis, es-pecially before taking off on family trips. As engineering and technical services manager for Interstate Batteries for more than 25 years, Gale Kimbrough is the hot-weather expert with some helpful guidelines to follow when caring for the automobile battery:1. Wear protective eyewear, remove all jewel-ry and wear long sleeves to protect skin from a battery acid explosion.2. Inspect the battery case for signs of extreme bulging, cracking or leaking. If signs are pres-ent, it's time to replace the case.3. Clean the connections by removing any corrosion, lead oxidation, paint or rust from the top of the battery with a scouring pad or brass brush. Make sure to brush the corrosion away from the body.

4. If the battery has removable filler caps, open the caps and check the water level in each cell.5. Make sure the plates are at least half covered. This prevents sulfation and reduces the possibility of an in-ternal battery explosion.6. If the water level is low, add distilled water (avoid tap water) until the plates are covered.7. Avoid overfilling, especially in hot weather, because the heat can cause the solution inside to expand and overflow.8. Have the battery and electrical system pro-fessionally tested every three to six months, especially before heading out on a trip. In just 30 seconds, Interstate All Battery Center locations provide motorists with a free printout analysis of the vehicle battery condi-tion. To find information and a nearby Inter-state Batteries dealer or Interstate All Battery Center, visit www.interstatebatteries.com.

(NAPSA)-Consumers are ex_tending the ownership of their vehicles well beyond 100,000 miles by finding ways to improve the quality of their vehicle. Following a good maintenance routine will keep your vehicle on the road longer and out of the shop, avoiding costly repairs. Price is often an indicator of a quality product. Companies like high-performance motor oil manufacturer Royal Purple use high-quality synthetic base oils and invest in premium additives in their motor oils. These tips about choosing premium products will let you make informed deci-sions that will keep your vehicle on the road longer:Motor oil: Upgrading to a premium synthetic has several ad_vantages. Some high-perfor-mance motor oils like those from Royal Pur-ple have been reported to improve gas mileage by 3 percent or more. Over the course of a year, the result can be hundreds of dollars in savings. Additionally, lubrication technology has improved significantly, allowing for longer oil life, resulting in extended oil drains and re-

ducing the effect on the environment.Oil filters: Standard oil filters use paper me-dia for filtration and deteriorate rapidly after 3,000 miles. High-performance premium oil filters by Royal Purple allow for extended oil drain intervals. Royal Purple's proprietary long-life, microglass media provides an in-creased level of protection due to the density of the filtration and can last for 12,000 miles. Learn more at www.royalpurple.com.Gasoline: At the gas pump, you typically have three choices: Regular, Midgrade and Premi-um. The octane number associated with the fuel grade reflects a fuel's resistance to knock-ing. Engine knock can damage your engine and can be a sign it's not running as efficiently as it could be. Many vehicles come with a certain octane rating that has been tested for the specific engine. Usually, only high-perfor-mance engines require a higher-octane fuel. Using fuel of an octane rating higher than the manufacturer recommends will not increase your car's performance, lower exhaust emis-sions or increase your engine or fuel system life. Wiper blades: There are few things worse than wiper blades that don't clear the windshield when you need them to. This can cause a hazard when driving in potentially dangerous driving conditions such as rain and snow. Not all wiper blades are the same. Premium wiper blades are sturdier and more durable, whereas low-cost, general-purpose wiper blades per-form differently from those designed specifi-cally for rainy or snowy climates.

Hope for Breast Cancer Patients

Breast cancer. Two words. Every woman's worst nightmare, every spouse's deepest fear, every mother's biggest worry for their daugh-ters, every daughter's greatest dread for their mothers. Unfortunately, breast cancer DOES exist and as a surgical practice we encounter women and families who are facing the diag-nosis of breast cancer more often than most. Luckily, we are able to offer something that often times patients and their loved ones for-get about when they are initially faced with such a grave diagnosis... HOPE. As scary as the possibility of facing breast

cancer can be, the most important fact to remember about breast cancer is that it is a SURVIVABLE disease. In fact, breast cancers that are diagnosed early, or in the primary stages, have a 5 year survival rate of 98.4%. That means that women who have abnor-malities which are found on a routine yearly mammogram or ultrasound have over a 98% chance of surviving the disease if the abnor-mality is treated early and properly. We believe patients should be given the right to choose their treatment plan, their af-tercare approach, and their doctor. When a woman is given news that she may have breast cancer, the last thing she needs to deal with is feeling pressured into choosing a surgeon she may not be comfortable with or that has never operated on her before. Every patient has autonomy and the right to choose, and this is important especially in a society where insurance companies and often times large medical corporations try and dictate who their patients must receive their care from. If a woman is entering the fight of her life, she should know that the people taking care of her are fighting for her and with her. At Car-rato Surgical Associates we treat every patient as an individual and as someone we are will-ing to fight alongside of to cure their breast cancer. We never want our patients to feel as if they are just a 'number'. When discussing yearly/routine mammo-grams and the finding of an abnormality, it is also important to remember that at the end of the day a radiograph is just a picture of the breast, and until there is actual tissue un-der the microscope, no definite diagnosis of breast cancer can be made. Many times wom-en come into our office and have the worst case scenario already in their mind because they were told there is an abnormal area on their mammogram or ultrasound. Although mammograms and ultrasounds are very good screening tools for breast abnormalities and for monitoring the appearance of the breasts from year to year, they are not conclusive and can never tell with 100% certainty the actual diagnosis of breast cancer. We have had sev-eral patients, some very young in age, that have come in for their consultation thinking they had breast cancer and after the biopsy was done it was determined that their abnor-mality was actually benign.

Until recent years, a breast biopsy used to mean an in-cision on the breast and removing a large portion of breast tissue just to get the diag-nosis. We offer the most minimally invasive approach to get tissue from the exact area of the breast with mammogram or ultrasound guidance, and the biopsy is done with such a small incision that most do not require a stitch. This allows us to obtain a diagno-sis without disrupting the breast tissue and avoiding scarring the breast for future diag-nostics. The procedure for a breast biopsy is done right in the comfort of our office and using local anesthesia we can have patients back to their everyday activities in about 30 minutes. We receive the biopsy results in less than a week, and patients return to go over the result and determine if any further treat-ment is necessary. If in fact the biopsy does show malig-nant cells, there are still many options for treatment. At Carrato Surgical we feel that the patient is the most important decision maker in the equation, and we feel it is very important to allow our patients to have an ac-tive role in their treatment plan. We take the time to explain different surgical procedures and the treatments that would follow surgery, whether that means chemotherapy, radiation, both, or neither. Our patients are not asked to make a decision on the spot on the day of the appointment. We encourage them to discuss the diagnosis and treatment plan with their loved ones and ask any questions they may have prior to confirming our treatment strategy. In treating breast disease, a patient's support system at home is just as important as the work we do in the operating room, and we value that support system as much as the care we give in surgery. We also make certain that every step of the breast cancer process is addressed, from the pre-op counselling and help in decision making for surgery, to the aftercare of surgery. Many practitioners are so focused on the ac-tual surgery that they forget the emotional and mental impact that having a breast re-moved can have on the patient. Once the sur-gery and physical healing is completed, most women want to feel like women again. We take the time after surgery to help patients get post-surgery prosthetics and undergarments

We’ve all heard stories of people who claim they know when a storm is coming or a blizzard in route because their elbow or knee “acts up”. Statistically, people with aching/arthritic joints commonly report more pain and discomfort when it’s cold, wet, or humid. There are numerous studies on the relation-ship between weather and arthritis with the results being mixed. Some studies show no re-lationship between weather and arthritis while some studies found that changes in barometric pressure had a strong association with pain as did core temperatures. One item all studies agree on was that reports of pain seem to go up in cooler and more humid times of the year. The word arthritis literally means “joint inflammation”. That is a joint that is painful, warm to the touch, possibly red, swollen and associated with loss of function. Osteoarthri-tis is the most common type of arthritis. Os-teoarthritis is called a “degenerative” condition because it is caused, in part, by wear-and-tear on a joint over time. OA occurs in both men and women usually after age 45. It is estimated

that over 50% of people over 65 have some degrees of osteo-arthritis. Arthritis is treated through many interven-tions ranging from medication, creams, simple use of heat or cold, exercise, and surgical inter-vention. Most studies emphasize the impor-tance of exercise to combat arthritis. Exercise can relieve pain and improve joint movement along with building up the muscles around the joints and making the joints more stable and resisting further damage. Some feel that in se-vere cold weather, the body may circulate less blood to the hands and feet as a way of con-serving warm blood cells near the heart. This can make joints stiffen, also people often ex-ercise less in the winter, which can make stiff and painful joints feel worse. The importance of exercise cannot be overstated when dealing with arthritis. We at Modern Therapeutics physical and oc-cupational therapy would be more than happy to design a program to suite your specific needs and help combat the affects of arthritis. P

so that there is no gap between treatment, cure, and continuing with life after breast cancer. In celebration of Breast Cancer Aware-ness month, we want to wish every one of our breast cancer survivors a Happy October! If you or a loved one is facing the possibility of having a breast abnormality or breast cancer, do not wait to seek treatment. Call today to set up your consultation and begin the pro-cess of healing. REMEMBER THAT SURVIVAL STARTS WITH A DIAGNOSIS, AND TREAT-MENT CAN LEAD TO A CURE! P

Vision loss and blindness can affect any-one, of any age. It can interfere with how a child learns to spell, read, or even play. In adulthood, decreased vision can compromise social interactions and the ability to perform daily activities. A person may have trouble with reading their mail, shopping, cooking, and watching television. Low vision is a term commonly used to refer to sight that is not fully correctable with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Vision can be reduced not only in acuity, but also by pe-ripheral field span. A person may be able to see 20/20 straight ahead, but suffer from tun-nel vision. In the United States, legal blind-ness is defined as vision less than 20/100 or a visual field of less than 20 degrees. Low vision may be caused by a number of different conditions. An infant may be born with poor vision due to congenital disorder such as albinism. A premature baby who was treated with high oxygen levels in the incu-bator may show signs of retinopathy of pre-maturity. Decreased visual potential can oc-

cur from a brain injury or direct trauma to the eye. Most commonly though, low vision results from progressive diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. Although low vision cannot be surgically restored, there are a number of ways to help someone who has suffered this type of func-tional vision loss. The first step is being fitted with the best possible glasses or contact lens-es. After that, there are magnification devices, computer-assisted devices, telescopes, and contrast enhancement aids. Proper lighting and head positioning are also important in achieving maximum visual function. Vision rehabilitation organizations will actually go to a patient’s home and teach them ways to make their day-to-day activities easier. Ori-entation and mobility specialists can help people learn to get around safely and travel independently. No matter what medical condition leads to a patient’s low vision diagnosis, it is impor-tant to talk with an eye doctor to get the best

possible help available. They can provide you with the devices and information needed to make the most out of the vision that you do have. P

(NAPSA)—A new website from AstraZen-eca and Bristol-Myers Squibb called Still You With Type 2 (www.stillyouwithtype2.com) has been created for adults with type 2 diabe-tes to provide information about diet, exercise, speaking with their doctor and two treatment options.

Although the initial cost of LASIK may be sig-nificant, it saves you money in the long run if you consider the expense of wearing glasses or contacts for the next 20 years or more, say experts at the American Refractive Surgery Council. Learn more at www.american refrac-tivesurgerycouncil.org.


Replacing Missing Teeth – It's no Trickand what a Treat!

The concept of missing teeth is a common dilemma for many people who have had teeth removed because of extensive cavities, gum dis-ease, injuries, and those who may have never developed some of their teeth due to a heredi-tary trait. Missing teeth can often be a source of embarrassment, as well as affect a person's quality of life. Some of the problems associ-ated with lost teeth include difficulty eating or chewing (hard foods can get painfully jammed into the gum), speech problems, and also cause the adjacent teeth to shift. When these teeth shift, they can create further cosmetic prob-lems and also become more susceptible to cavi-

ties, bite problems and gum disease. With all of these potential problems, it's good to know the most common solutions that can be of-fered to replace missing teeth. The three most common ways to replace one or more missing teeth are a bridge, an implant(s), or a partial denture. A bridge is one of the most common ways that missing teeth are replaced. The procedure involves trimming down the teeth surrounding the missing one, taking a mold (impression), and then having the laboratory construct the bridge out of porcelain and gold. The pro-cedure takes about two visits (4 weeks), and

about two hours of total in-office time. The bridge is fit-ted over the surrounding teeth, and cemented into place, replacing the missing one(s). The results are generally excellent. The teeth look very natural, and the comfort level is high (for most people, it feels like their own teeth). An implant is an option that has recently gained increasing acceptance for tooth replace-ment. The procedure involves placing a one to one and a half centimeter titanium rod into the jawbone to replace a tooth. The implant serves the same function as a tooth root. After the implant heals within the jawbone, teeth can be attached to the implant, replacing those that are missing. Implants are ideal in situa-tions where a bridge cannot be used, but per-manent tooth replacements are desired. The final main option for tooth replacement is the partial denture. A partial denture is a removable device (prosthesis) used to replace missing teeth. The main advantages of the partial denture are the relative ease of the pro-cedure for the patient (very little, if any, teeth preparation is needed), and the ability to re-place missing teeth when the first two options are not feasible. Whether you choose a bridge, implant(s) or partial denture, will depend on many factors. I encourage all of my patients whether new or existing to schedule a consultation appoint-ment to choose the option which will yield the best long-term results. P

A 56 year old woman came in my office. I haven’t seen her for a year. First her back started to hurt her six months ago but she waited, thinking maybe it will go away. Then her midback was tight, it took her breath away, and she felt weak. As more time passed, she started getting dizzy spells, so she went to her doctor. They did extensive tests, and she wait-ed for the results. A month later she finally called the doctor’s office and she was rudely told, “No news is good news, if he didn’t call you, all the tests are negative.” So frustrated by the response, the negative tests, she called our office. Her pains were still there, but she was searching for an answer—the cause of her pain. I first gently adjusted her lower back, her neck and then her midback. I did the same

thing once a week for three weeks. After three visits she said to me, “I feel great! All my pains are gone, I had no idea if my spine stays in place that so much of my body would feel better. Next time if I feel out of it, I’m going to come here first and prevent all that frustration. Are you frustrated that you aren’t feeling well but aren’t getting answers? I understand your pain and how it affects your life. Your body has the power to heal itself most of the time. Allow Dr. Stacie and I to use our gentle style of adjusting your spine to allow the in-nate wisdom to prove it can heal you. P 1749 E. Broad St., Hazleton, PA

Many of us go through each day typing on a computer, bending or lifting items, gardening, taking care of our children and playing sports. If not done properly, these activities can cause pain or injury which may become chronic if left untreated. Because of the importance of taking care of the back and spine, doctors of chiropractic are using their knowledge of the spinal column and nervous system to promote the American Chi-ropractic Association’s (ACA) national obser-vance, Spinal Health Month, during the month of October. “Back pain is pervasive in our society. Eighty percent of us will suffer from it at some point in our lives, and fifty percent of us will suffer from back pain this year alone,” said Dr. Joe Bafile of the Bafile Family Chiropractic. “Low-back pain is the most common work complaint expe-

rienced by Americans today. Many Americans today are health and body conscious. We want to look and feel our best by taking care of our bodies – exercising, getting regular dental and eye exams and by getting enough sleep. In do-ing so, we ignore the focal point of where much of the pain associated with our daily activities originates – our spine,” Dr. Joe Bafile added. The central nervous system originates in the brain and channels down through the spinal column, extending to every part of the body. A misalignment of the vertebrae of the spine may result in nerve interference, resulting in head-aches, low-back and neck pain, among other problems. The key to spinal health is prevention; lis-ten to your body’s warning signals and adjust your lifestyle. If you do experience pain for more than one or two days despite using these

preventive measures, consult your local chiropractor. Doc-tors of chiropractic are trained to identify the cause of the problem and adjust or manipulate the spine to encourage the body’s natural heal-ing process. More than 20 million Americans sought chiropractic care last year for spinal inju-ries and pain. P

To prevent the flu, make sure you and your family members get a flu shot: the essential key to flu prevention. You need the vaccine because there is no cure for the flu, and flu complications can be very serious in some people, especially infants and young children, elderly adults, and people with heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, and other chronic medical problems. Keeping your immune system fortified this flu season will also maintain wellness during these challenging days. The immune system is a complex system of organs, tissues and specialized cells that protect the human body from germs and microorganisms. The immune system fights these organisms and other substances throug a series of steps called the immune response. Nutritents for immune support include Co-Enzyme Q 10 (CoQ10), Vitamins A, B6, B12, C and Zinc. In addition to these nu-trients, take a high-potency vitamin-mineral supplement that includes zinc and selenium. Zinc, working synergistically with vitamin A, also supports the thymus gland and enhances immune functions of white blood cells, and inhibits the grown of a wide range of nasty viruses. Hazle Drugs own brand of “Immune Health Support” is designed specifically to support the immune system “as needed.” Hazle Drugs brand of “Immune Health Support” contains vitamins A,C,B-6, B-12, C, and Zinc along with different types of beneficial mushrooms such as Mai-

take, Shiitake, and Reishi that are carefully grown and monitored to ensure that they are not con-taminated with heavy metals or pollutants. These mushrooms contain polysaccharide complexes that provide specific support for T-cells (strategic players in the removal of foreigh pathogens. Hazle Drugs “Immune Health Support” also contains Echinacea, Astragalus and Goldenseal which are well known for their ability to enhance the body’s defense systems. Hazle Drugs is also offering flu shots daily from 9:00am to 4:00 pm. No appointment is necessary. Wendy Murphy, Pharm D and Bill Spear, R.Ph, CCN are immunization spe-cialists who are certified to administer the flu vaccine. The Flu shot is FREE to Medicare patients, select Blue Cross of NEPA Health Plans and select Geisinger Health Plans. Flu shots are available while supplies last! We also administer the Pneumonia and Shingles (Zostavax) Vaccines. For more information regarding Hazle Drugs “Immune Health Support,” or flu shots please contact Hazle Drugs 1 E.

It’s no secret that America is an overweight nation with over 60% of people being over-weight. It’s also no secret that most have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight and spent large amounts of money and time on pills, diets, programs and “systems” that work for a short period only to put the weight back on again like a yo-yo. The reason I believe this has been the case is that most of these diets and systems do not address the underlying problem that exists. The way we view health in general and the lack of value we have in keeping ourselves healthy. Put simply, if we value something enough, we will do whatever it takes to get it. Take for example our children. Most of us will do anything for our children, like put-ting our lives on hold so they can get to soc-cer practice, or to live frugally so they can have the latest iphone. Why do we do this? Because they are valuable to us! Not just this month or this year. It’s a forever thing. We don’t have to make a New Years resolution to care for them. They will still be our children when we turn 100. We will still put our lives on hold to take them to their physical therapy appointment. Right!

So imagine what we could do if we valued our health as much as we valued our children. Making decisions about drinking soda or eat-ing at McDonalds would be as simple as de-ciding whether our children should smoke or drink when they are 12. How do we start to value our health? It starts with visualizing the life you want to live, no just now but at 100. Do we want to be healthy or do we want to be riddled with disease and arthritis? Do we want to be active or do we want to be confined to a wheelchair. Do we want to be happy and successful or do we not. Studies have found that happy, healthy people are more successful in life in-cluding making more money. Once you have the vision in mind, think about it every day

until it becomes ingrained. Only then will making the right choices for your health become second nature and you won’t have to rely on diets and systems. At Hazleton Physical Therapy, we under-stand what it means to be healthy. Our Meta-bolic Rx program is designed for people with medical problems who want to live a healthi-er life and lose weight. Aside from educating people on the right way to eat and exercise, we also foster understanding of healthy living and what it takes to be healthy for life. Call us at 570-501-1808 to participate in a program that can change your life or for more information on the Metabolic Rx pro-gram. P

This program is en-dorsed by the Geriatric Section of the Ameri-can Physical Therapy Association (A.P.T.A.), and is designed to enhance the ability of phys-ical therapists to incorporate evidence-based practice in order to appropriately examine and provide the quality of exercise that will yield optimal benefits for the aging adults.Therapists with the CEEAA credential utilize the best tests and measures for the examina-tion of aging adults, and have the clinical decision making skills to design a compre-hensive exercise prescription that addresses aerobic conditioning/endurance; balance, co-

ordination, and agility; flex-ibility; strength; and gait and locomotion. Dr. Kelly recognizes the benefits of effec-tive exercise programs for the full spectrum of aging adults. The growth in the 65 and over population will require physical therapist to play a unique role in helping maintain health, independence, and qual ity of l i fe forthem. P

(NewsUSA) - Evelyn Webster of Brazos County, Texas, was devastated when she learned that her sister had been diagnosed with stomach cancer. As a result of the ra-diation and chemotherapy treatments, her big sister, Deborah Bryant, was unable to work and lost her health insurance."So therein lies the problem: no insurance, no medication, no money to buy the medi-cation," Webster told CBS affiliate KBTX-TV in Bryan/College Station, Texas. The family learned of a free prescrip-tion discount card available through Bra-zos County, where Webster works in the District Clerk's office. "Without the NACo card, unfortunate-ly, we would not have been able to buy all of [my sister's] medicines," she said. "The discount card is one of the best things to ever happen in Brazos County." The National Association of Counties (NACo) Prescription Discount Card Pro-gram, administered by CVS Caremark, is a free national program available for all resi-dents of NACo-member counties. The process is simple: there are no forms to fill out, and any county resident may use the cards regardless of age, income or health status. In fact, the cards save an average of 24 percent off the full retail cost of pre-scription medications. They can be used by consumers who do not have health in-surance or those whose prescription is not covered by their insurance. All prescrip-tions are eligible for a discount. A national network of more than 60,000 retail pharmacies, including the major na-tional chain drug stores and a majority of community-based pharmacies, honor the card. Bryant is in remission, her sister said, and the family has saved hundreds of dol-lars on her medications. For more information, or to print a card for immediate use, visit www.caremark.com/naco.

Acne: Do zits give you fits?by Stephen Schleicher, mD

Acne affects some 45 million Americans and the prevalence appears to be increasing especially in women 25 years of age or older. The condition affects 90% of teenage boys and 80% of adolescent girls. Although often considered a trivial disorder, acne quite com-monly leads to embarrassment and may even engender depression and social isolation. Left untreated, inflamed pimples and cysts can leave scars. The good news is that virtually all cases of acne respond to therapy. Over-the-counter (OTC) remedies include Clearasil and ProAc-

tiv which are heavily advertised. Look for top-ical products that contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur or salicylic acid. A 2012 review of acne products by Consumer Reports compared benzoyl peroxide preparations and found them to be virtually identical in acne clear-ance rates. A month of ProActive costs about $20, whereas a month of Oxy Maximum

costs less than $6. Consumer Reports recommends buying by price. Anyone not helped by OTC thera-pies would benefit from a consultation with a dermatologist and in an upcoming issue we will explore many of the effective prescription remedies used to keep one’s complexion as clear as possible. P

Simple steps to reduce Fall Risks

(NAPSA)-Every year, one in three adults over age 64 falls. But certain exercises and simple home modifications help reduce the risk. "Half of falls occur in a person's home. Falls are the main reason older people go to emergency departments," says Steve Albert, Ph.D., co-director of the University of Pitts-burgh Prevention Research Center (PRC). The PRC is part of a nationwide network of 37 academic and community research partners funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to find ways to keep people healthy. Several PRCs research

ways to help older adults avoid falling. Dr. Albert is comparing the effectiveness of two fall-prevention programs, and health agencies will use findings in choosing which program to offer. "Most falls involve changing location, such as while walking or moving from a bed or chair," says Dr. Albert. "Sometimes, falls happen when someone carries laundry down stairs without a railing." "Stairs are a challenge for people with bal-ance problems," says Elizabeth Phelan, M.D., a University of Washington PRC researcher who runs a fall-prevention clinic in Seattle.

Because evidence shows that people can re-duce their fall risk by improving balance and strength, Dr. Phelan refers many patients to EnhanceFitness, an exercise class developed by the Washington PRC. Proven to improve balance and strength, EnhanceFitness is of-fered at 450 sites nationwide. Older adults who fall are at risk for more falls, Dr. Phelan says. She is researching the feasibility of emergency medical technicians providing fall-prevention information when responding to fall-related 911 calls. Acting on such information may reduce callers' risk of future falls. "Falls rob people of their independence," says Dr. Phelan. "Many older adults can no longer live on their own if they have suffered serious fall-related injuries." People should address fall hazards when they're young so they can live at home as long as possible, says Marcia Ory, Ph.D., a Texas A&M Health Science Center PRC researcher. Dr. Ory studies how to implement effective fall-prevention programs and policies. "Many states offer fall-prevention screening, referrals and programs, but more offerings are need-ed," she says. "Older adults and their caregiv-ers should ask their health care providers and public health agencies about these programs." A list of effective programs is at www.cdc.gov/HomeandRecreationalSafety/Falls/compen-dium.html.

Fall-Prevention Tips• Improve balance and strength;• Keep cords, shoes, papers, plants and boxes out of walkways;• Add grab bars in and beside the tub/shower and next to the toilet;• Use a nonslip mat or appliques in the tub/shower;• Install railings in stairways;• Improve lighting; • Avoid or secure throw rugs. For more information about the CDC's PRC Program, visit www.cdc.gov/prc.

enhancefitness participants improve strength and flexibility, which can reduce fall risk.
