THOSE LOST TO DRUG OVERDOSES: In a moving ceremony at Eurana Park in Weatherly on August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day, family and friends of drug overdose victims lit memorial candles and spoke of their loved ones, placing the candles in front of a banner displaying their photographs. September is National Recovery Month, and the banner will be displayed all month at the basketball court at the park.

Last mail pickup from the boxes was 3 p.m. on Satur day, so anyone who depos ited mail in the boxes after that time is affected by the theft. Victims are advised to contact their banks to watch for any suspicious activity in their accounts, since reports have already come in of checks being ‘washed’ and altered. When checks as washed, thieves change the payable name and amount,

Things are happen to our community we need to start getting out ahead of them.

The primary one is not the Mountain Laurel Golf Course it’s the White Haven Center.

Officials in Foster Town ship and White Haven Borough in particular need to come together as rapidly as possible, perhaps with other interested parties, to engage in a discussion about what to do with an emptying state institution.

Do we want a prison on the site? The idea of having a county prison on the site was floated last month by a member of Luzerne County Council. Along that path, there could be other kinds of prisons. Are there other treatment facilities, for the state or even privately, that could use White Haven Center’s buildings? The property is in pretty good condition. Could a college be attracted? Could we attract another Greek institution to partner with the monastery? Could a charter school turn out? These ideas are offered

White Haven Borough secretary Deborah Simmons submitted her letter of resignation as secretary/ treasurer for Sept. 16. She and her husband, council member Dan Simmons, are moving out of the area. Dan will also be resigning later in the month. WH Council, held a special meeting on Monday. A vote to hire a borough manager was defeated 2-3, Marge Reilly, George Madigan and Harvey Morrison opposed, Steve Draus and Dan Simmons in favor.Deb will say on to train her replacement.WhiteHaven will conduct a tire pickup, and spray the areas where mosquitoes breed to combat Wist Nile

On Sunday we were treated to boat tour of Annapolis, out around the Naval Academy and toward where the river meets the Chesapeake Bay. It was terrific. An Aegis cruiser was docked behind the Acad emy’s sailboat marina.

Our week ahead of Labor Day was just crazy. There was a medical day to see my lead oncologist and surgeon at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, plus a CAT scan and an X-ray. It took 5½ hours in the Perelman building, plus 4 hours of travel time. That compressed our Tuesday, which meant that we had to put out three newspapers in three days. By Friday we were fried (Friedday). We needed a break.

From the water we saw everything from a variety of sail and motorboats to a tourist pirate ship. The ‘pirates’ (mainly little kids and their parents) were in full attack mode with water guns, directed at a pair of staff out in a small boat. There were all sorts of pleasure craft, and off in the distance, ocean-going

We returned to see that northeast PA finally got some rain, the gentle steady kind that truly nourishes the plants. The quick gully washer thunderstorms that blew through before gave us wet, but not the kind of deep soil wet to help the plants and trees.

We discovered that the Maryland Renaissance Faire was going on about 15 minutes from where we were staying. The fair invited senior citizens (us) to attend on Labor Day for free. We decided to detour on our way home to take a quick look. It’s huge, and packs a lot of entertainment into each day. Food is plentiful, and reasonably priced. Paths are packed dirt and stone, with roots and stuff, so it was hard rolling. The site is on a slight hill, and walking was not hard and the place was packed. We managed to keep distance from most Faire goers, and navigate around the site, leaving after about an hour and a half so as to make our trip home mostly in daylight. We plan to return. The Maryland Renaissance Faire runs weekends to October 23. We returned home in the dark and took very two happy dogs back to sleep in their own beds again. And us home to sleep very well.

Sightings this week, here and in Maryland, include a large coyote crossing the road in Lehigh Township, and lots of butterflies, and in Annap olis, cormorants, herons, lots of gulls, ducks, and a possible

There we walked the boardwalk, greeted some people and enjoyed looking at the cute little beach. Beach fees were steep, so we just walked the pier and boardwalk and admired the families in the water.

Since the beginning of time, some people have viewed themselves above others. What they enjoy and view as normal, other people can’t enjoy and are excluded. But some of

the most inspiring stories involve situations where the excluded rise above and triumph. This is one of those stories. It happened in Del Rio, TX, during the 1950s. Five Latino teens came to love a game –golf– that they had to watch others play.

When the local secondary school, San Felipe High, decided to launch a golf team, the five teens tried out and made the team. Getting to play was easy; enduring verbal abuse during competition was more difficult. But they persevered … and became champions.

money for their effort: the teens watched how others played the game. But they couldn’t practice what they learned because they weren’t allowed to play at the country club. So, the young men created a golf course of their own. They found a piece of land, scratched-out holes, tee boxes, and greens. They made golf clubs out of tree branches and played with golf balls discarded at the country club.

Remembering “The San Felipe High Miracle”

by Matthew Paris

San Felipe High won the 1957 Texas State Championship, and those excluded golfers from a few years earlier finished first, second, and third in the state. Their story has been chronicled in the book Mustang Miracle, written by Humberto G. Garcia. Now, the story will be released soon in visual form; a film starring Dennis Quaid and Jay Hernandez is in production.MatthewParis loves writ ing tions.connecHollywoodsports-aboutYou

Dallas hands Comets first football loss

The Comets (1-1) simply had too many mistakes against Dallas. They had a 54-yard Schultz touchdown run called back by a holding penalty, had two bad snaps on punts, and fumbled on another drive. “We have to do a better job of taking care of the little things and stop shooting ourselves in the foot,” Crestwood head coach Ryan Arcangeli said.

“We will get better. I told the guys that you are never as good as you think, and you are never as bad as you think,” he added. “We were right there with a very good football team. We just have to find ways to challenge and overcome adversity.”

Schultz rushed for 95 yards on 17 carries, and Shedlock added 60 yards on 14 rushes to lead the Crest wood offense. Schultz also had five catches for 30 yards.

Against a Crestwood defense that allowed less than 110 yards against Valley View in Week 1, the Moun taineers finished with 288. Bolesta had 130 yards on 25 carries, Zapoticky threw for 153 on 8-of-11 passing, and Paczewski caught three passes for 85 yards.

Salute to Service

After a scoreless first quarter, Zapoticky hit Peter Harpersberger for Dallas’ first score, his 5-yard catch capping an 86-yard scoring drive. Then Paczewski leaped over two defenders for his first touchdown, a seven-yarder in the end zone to make it 14-0. The junior added two more catches in the second quarter, setting up the first of Bolesta’s TD runs, a 3-yarder with 49 seconds left, that sent Dallas to the locker room with a three-touchdown lead at half time.The Comets rallied in the second half with a 70-yard punt return by Noah Schultz that got them on the board with 2:30 left in the third quarter.
