Volunteerism and community service are the backbone of our region, and most people pitch in just because it’s the right thing to do, without any thought of a reward. Still, for those that go that extra mile, a pat on the back from local officials can be a positive way to say “thanks.” One notable example is the Community Awards Dinner thrown annually by the Jermyn Events Committee. This year, the 12th annual dinner will be held Saturday, Feb. 21, at St. Michael’s Center, 403 Delaware Ave. in Jermyn. Social hour starts at 5 p.m. and a family-style dinner will be served at 6 p.m. Admission is $30; $7 for kids ages 6 to 10. John Coleman will receive the Volunteer of the Year award, Patricia McMyne will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award and Katie Hosie will receive the Community Service/Good Citizenship Award. Coleman and his wife, Ann, moved to Jermyn in 1991. As a member of the Events Committee, his two big focuses are the summer flower pots on Main Street and the July concert in the park. Coleman is also the Volunteer Coordinator for the Jermyn Shade Tree Commission (JSTC). As a lifetime member of the Crystal Fire Company, he is a great supporter of all their events and dinners. He coached T-ball and worked with the Archbald Cub Scouts who met in Jermyn. He served on the Jermyn Council for one year, as a replacement for Howard Young in the capacity as Safety Committee member. Patricia Mattise McMyne taught first grade in Lakeland elementary for 38 years, and music started every day of school. She became organist for her church in 1975, and organized the Sacred Heart of Mary church

choir in 1978 and is still their choir director and organist. McMyne is director and pianist for the Jermyn Community Chorus and, each year, McMyne introduces a new theme for the annual Community Christmas Show. She also rehearses, accompanies and directs the Community Chorus for the annual Veterans Day program in World War I Park. Catherine “Katie” Hosie was born in Niagara Falls, New York. She and her husband, Joe, (who grew up in Jermyn) lived in the Niagara Falls area for 35 years. Hosie worked for 18 years for the Lewiston Townhall in Lewiston, New York, with experience in various aspects of community management before retiring. When they retired, they considered other locations, but Hosie wanted to please Joe, and so Jermyn was the final choice. When she arrived, she’d heard so much about the town from Joe that she immediately felt a part of it and quickly started volunteering. At her parish, Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary Church, she served five years as chairperson of its annual pork dinner. She restored the Artisan Fire Co.’s Ladies Auxiliary, in which she served as president and
Katherine “Katie” Hosie
treasurer. She also assisted with the Artisan’s annual Good Friday fish dinner. She has served as Jermyn Councilwoman for eight years, and she has been president for five of those years. In 2003, when the Events Committee first formed, Hosie was elected its first treasurer. She held that office until she became the Jermyn Events president. Many projects have been developed during Hosie’s tenure. She pushed for trash receptacles for the various locations on Main Street, which was completed. Hosie oversaw the committee’s team volunteers and is the representative for the Events Committee on the Variety Show Executive Committee, as well as its current treasurer. The door prizes at this year’s dinner are: first prize: $300 cash; second prize: a $100 gas card; third prize: a $100 gas card; fourth through eighth prizes are $50 cash. Proceeds from the dinner will be used for summer concert, the town’s summer flowers and pots and the Christmas Concert. Tickets and can be obtained by calling 570-8761477 or at Sterling Pharmacy, Battenberg Furniture, Debbie’s Boutique Florist and Longworth’s Family Restaurant in Jermyn.

Taking Falls Seriously Its that time of the year when we often see patients who fell on slippery snow or ice. The first thing you may feel after a fall is embarrassment. The next thing you may feel is pain. Any fall may cause damage of some degree to the spinal structures. The damage involved can range from knocking a vertebra out of position, aggravating a previous condition or pinching a nerve or bulging a disc. Depending on the type of the fall it is also possible to experience an injury similar to a whiplash.

Your spine is designed to withstand a certain amount of shock from a fall or injury. It is when the force of the injury is greater than what the spinal structure can withstand that vertebra become misaligned and pressure is placed on sensitive spinal nerves. Wintertime is here and with the snow and ice comes falls. Dont be one of those patients that waits until May to get checked for a fall that occurs now.

Dickson City Neighborhood Watch held its 2015 reorganization meeting recently at the Dickson City Borough Building. After discussion, a vote was taken to drop the word “crime” from the group name. Formerly known as Dickson City Neighborhood Crime Watch, the group will now be known as Dickson City Neighborhood Watch. Officials said the group will promote active participation by residents to improve the quality of life in the borough. A vote was taken, and officers for 2015 are, from left, treasurer Jack Horvath, president Ed Zitterman and secretary Debbie Marushock.

Archbald Trash/ Recycling Collection
Archbald Borough has entered into a contract with J.P. Mascaro for the collection of solid waste. As a result, your collection times may have changed. Put trash out the night before your collection day. As in the past, you can put out six bags of trash and two bulk items per week (no electronics or construction materials). Do not place any trash in recycling containers; it will not be picked up. Cardboard and recycling is collected by the Borough Department of Public Works (DPW). Cardboard can be flattened and placed in the blue recycling bin. Any large boxes must be flattened, broken down and placed to the curb with your recycling. Any large boxes that are not broken down won’t fit in the DPW truck and will be left at the curb. Remember to check the borough website at archbaldboroughpa.gov for any schedule changes, delays, etc. and sign up for regular updates and borough news.

COLD FEET FOR VALENTINES DAY?
By Dr. Philip Horne - Surgeon - Podiatrist Just about anybody’s feet can be cold in February, however, if coldness is accompanied by skin discoloration, loss of hair on the feet, pain in the toes, feet and/or in the calves with walking you are likely to be suffering from poor circulation. Poor circulation can significantly decrease a person’s quality of life and functional abilities as activities requiring walking and physical exertion become difficult or impossible. In extreme cases this condition can lead to the loss of a limb as well as decrease one’s life expectancy.

Risk factors for poor circulation include smoking, diabetes, age over sixty, high cholesterol, poor diet, and lack of exercise. There is an easy test performed in the doctor’s office called an ankle brachial index which can confirm the presence and extent
of poor circulation in the lower extremities. Circulation problems may be treated with medication, lifestyle modification, physical therapy, or vascular surgery if necessary. Give your sweetheart a foot massage with lotion this Valentine’s Day. This will not only score some points with your honey but will be beneficial in increasing blood flow and moisturizing their skin which can prevent blisters, cracks, or ulcerations. Recognizing and treating poor circulation before it becomes serious can ensure many future walks down Lover’s Lane with your Valentine. For an evaluation contact Dr. Philip F. Horne in Peckville at 383-4110 or in Carbondale at 282-1107. Physical Therapy is available on site at both offices.

Marywood’s Veterans Alliance Honored
Marywood University’s Student Veterans Alliance (SVA) was recently awarded Chapter of the Year for 2014 at the Student Veterans of America’s seventh annual national conference in San Antonio, Texas. Twelve hundred chapters were in consideration for the award. Marywood’s chapter won “for outstanding leadership and for setting a positive example for other chapters around the country.” Christopher Smith, Marywood University’s SVA president, accepted the award on behalf of the chapter. “The conference offered me the opportunity to meet new people, veterans and policy makers,” Smith said. “I would like Marywood University’s SVA to influence policies, other institutions and build up fellow veterans, no matter what school they attend in our state, and get them on the road to success.” While at the conference, SVA stu-
dents and administrators were asked to serve on several panels, including: Chapter Advisors/VA Certifying Officials; and Established Chapters: Universities/Graduate Schools. Deanna Parker, the public relations officer for Marywood’s SVA chapter and a Marine veteran who is pursuing her master’s degree in criminal justice at Marywood, was asked to join 1st SEAC, SGM William Joseph Gainey on stage as he gave his keynote address. SGM Gainey was the first person to call Parker “Marine” following graduation. Vice President Joseph Biden; Shoshana Johnson, the first African-American prisoner of war; Robert McDonald, Secretary of Veterans Affairs; Kyle Carpenter, Medal of Honor recipient; and Gainey were among those who gave VIP addresses.
