County-wide veterans organization plans Korean War Memorial

by Stephanie Longo

ABINGTON SUBURBAN EDITOR

Every May when Memorial Day rolls around, we, as a nation, pause to remember veterans and the sacrifices they made for this country. One Lackawanna County-based veterans group is continuing its efforts to make sure that no local soldier who made the supreme sacrifice is lost in the annals of history.

The Friends of the Forgotten, Northeast Wing, is planning to erect the county’s first and only Korean War monument on the Dunmore tank grounds, located at the intersection of Blakely Street and Wheeler Avenue. Comprised of members from throughout Lackawanna County, the Friends of the Forgotten is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to raise awareness of all of the nation’s veterans. Members of the group are both veterans and non-veterans, many joined to honor their parents or grandparents who served. Group spokesperson Dee Faatz explained that the group’s name, in essence, speaks for itself and that’s part of the reason why they are now focusing on the Korean War. “The Korean War did not receive as much news media as World War II, which came six years before,” she said. “The little that was reported was censored and the people who were interested didn’t really know what was going on. When coming home, the military were not looked upon as heroes, maybe because of the great loss of lives during World War II.” “When we decided to erect a monument to the Korean War, it was decided to dedicate it not only to those who served, but to honor those who never returned home,” she continued. “When we started to research the names of those who were killed in that war from Lackawanna County, we had 58. Today we now have 71 names inscribed on the memorial.”

Many of the 71 names come from the City of Scranton, but all area municipalities are represented. To date, local casualties include Harry T. Fowler and Floyd Mott Jr. from Archbald; William Glenn Jones, Francis Richard Jurkovic and Michael Krutty from Blakely; James G. Delaney, Leonard Charles Hull and Raymond Thaddeus Plevyak from Carbondale; William Buraczewski, Joseph Miezejewski and Leonard T.

Yablonski from Throop. said that the organization is still accepting donaSince the research into tions to help fund the monument and the group who was killed in the war has been done entirely by volunteers from the Friends of the Forgotten, plans to continue work on the tank area in the Faatz is urging members of the community who future, including replacing the current flagpoles might have had a family member or friend killed and gravel, as well as other beautification efforts.

“We are so appreciative of all the help we in Korea to let them know so the name can be have received so far and all of the community’s inscribed on the monument.

“We want them remembered,” Faatz said. “If it support for this memorial,” she said. “As an orwas not for the sacrifices our veterans made for us, ganization, we want to do whatever we can to we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we make sure all veterans are remembered and we have in this great country we live in. We should will continue to do so.”

In an effort to promote community pride, the Dickson City Neighborhood Watch is in the process of contacting property owners and tenants along Main Street, from Olyphant Corners to Viewmont Drive, and requesting the owner/tenant clean the sidewalk to get rid of the winter debris. This is the first phase in an effort to beautify our community.

If a person is elderly, handicapped or otherwise unable to do the cleanup, please call 570-876-2279.

This is not a borough project, but an initiative by D.C. Neighborhood Watch.

Members of Dickson City American Legion Post No. 665 recently spent several hours sweeping the sidewalks at the intersection of Main Street and Boulevard Avenue. Nearly 100 buckets of dirt and debris were removed.

Voters’ Guide — Addendum

Editor’s note: The following candidate statements did not appear in last week’s Voters’ Guide because they were submitted after last week’s edition was published.

Lackawanna County Kevin Haggerty (D-R) Clerk of Judicial Records There is no greater professional honor than public service. How we arrive, however, is more important than winning itself.

Chiropractic is Based on Common Sense

Chiropractic patients around the world are raving about the incredible results they have experienced while under Chiropractic care. There are still people skeptical about it, and in general it’s good to be skeptical.

But, you can’t argue with the results of 25 million people who will visit a Chiropractor this year, nor the almost 1,000 Lackawanna County residents who will be treated at our offices. Chiropractic is the largest wellness profession in the world. Our principle can get and keep you healthy! Don’t settle for mediocrity in your life. Strive for a life of excellence and health.

You need a normal flow of nerve energy throughout your body so the tissues and muscles can function better. A Chiropractor will detect vertebra that are out of place and interfering with normal nerve flow, then they will gently adjust the bones back into position to restore health. Chiropractic is based on common sense. Too many wait until all else fails, then they try Chiropractic.

back, I understand the amazing blessing born into my life. My mother and father did not have everything, but my three siblings and I never knew any different. Life was much different back then. A family could survive on one salary and the family unit was stronger because of it.

I want to change the shape and culture of not only this county but, one day, the culture of this country. I am a graduate of Villanova University and I am a former United States Marine. I served as an inner-city teacher and youthful offender coach/teacher. My days growing up in Dunmore were far different than these boys who were born into strife and, if there is one reason I want to serve the public, it is to make sure that young people have somewhere or someone to turn to.

As a former state representative who had his district gerrymandered away, I had the option to just throw in the towel. But that’s not who I am, and today I owe all the credit to my wife, Jennifer, for standing next to me during those difficult days.

Not only is my wife strong for me, she is also strong in her own professional world and, most of all, in how she raises our young children. I would not be afforded the opportunity to run for office without an even stronger person behind me. I owe so much to my wife, Jennifer.

I believe our communities should be like family. In office, like at home, I want serve everyone, and never just that small little niche of special interest.

I believe in the words “for the people.”

They aren’t just words to me. I also wish good luck to everyone participating in the upcoming election on May 19.

Kim Yencho (D-R) Clerk of Judicial Records I am Kim Yencho and am a candidate for Lackawanna County Clerk of Judicial Records. I am a graduate of Valley View High School, 1997, attended Lackawanna College 1997-1999, and majored in elementary education and am currently finishing a bachelor’s degree in law and society from Penn State University. My hometown is Jessup. I’ve lived in Jefferson Township for the past two years. My husband is Michael Potter and our son is Caden.

My most recent organizations and experience are as follows: Pennsylvania State Democratic Committee; Lackawanna County Executive Committee; Coaches vs.

Cancer NEPA Committee; Community Association Institute; Community Association Membership Committee; lobbyist for Community Association Institute in Harrisburg; Big Bass Lake Community Association committees: Fiscal Committee, Adult Social Activities Committee, Recreation Committee and Strategic Planning Committee; AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) boys’ and girls’ basketball coach; National Leadership Award; honorary co-chairman of the Business Advisory Council; Who’s Who Among American College Students; NEPA Top 25 Women in Business; and NCJAA District O Women’s College Basketball “coach of the year.”

I hope my background and experience can show the voters that I’m the most qualified candidate for this position. I want to honorably serve the people of this county; therefore, my involvement with various legal documents, administrative experience and a proven track record of being a community leader has prepared me for this duty.

If elected, I will insure all documents are being processed in the most accurate, costeffective way for the tax payers of Lackawanna County.

The following candidate statements were inadvertantly omitted from last week’s Voters’ Guide. The Valley Advantage extends an apology to both candidates and deeply regrets the oversight.

Dickson City Borough Rosemary Louryk (D) Council l am a lifelong Mid-Valley resident hav-

ing been raised in Throop, graduating from Mid-Valley High School and residing in Dickson City for 38 years. My husband Brad and I are the parents of two sons, Bradford, of New York City, and Brent and his wife Kathy, of Stephens City, Virginia. l have served in various officer positions in the MidValley PTA and also as a school director in the district. l am retired from National Book Co., Dunmore, having been employed there for 18 years in the college and order departments. I am presently serving the borough’s strategic planning, policy and procedure and contract negotiating committees. I also volunteer my time on the Christmas Light Committee, which at this time has raised more than $30,000 in donations to purchase updated and energy-saving decorations. I had the opportunity to be a part of the planning to honor Dickson City natives, retired generals, Frank Wiercinski and Mike Terry, last October. I am proud of the progress this council has made and would like to be afforded the privilege to continue to help the residents of Dickson City. l feel that experience and integrity are vital for public service and our community needs accountable and principled individuals to hold office. l am privileged to give back to my community and I humbly ask for your vote to continue to serve the citizens of Dickson City.

Archbald Borough Julius “Chick” Smargiassi Constable (write-in) Eynon/Sturges voters: I kindly ask for your vote this upcoming election as writein candidate for constable. Your vote and support is greatly appreciated.

Due to an error by the person submitting these two statements, the photos that accompanied them were reversed.

Kenneth Krouchick Sr. (D) Borough Council I was born in 1967, the son of Carol and the late John Krouchick. I am a lifelong resident of Dickson City, where I reside with my wife of 27 years, Mary Beth and son, Kenneth Jr. I am a 1985 graduate of Mid Valley Secondary Center.

Continued from page 8

Dickson City is in a situation unique to other municipalities in the area in that we collect tax revenue from large businesses that operate within the community. That is a huge amount of money and should keep our property taxes low, if managed correctly. Currently, I believe that the borough is accruing way too much debt on things that are not necessary. The new Municipal Building on Enterprise Street is a prime example.

If things continue the way they are, we could find ourselves under a huge financial burden. In fact, we already are.

To be specific, a 30-year mortgage of $5,800,000. I believe that we need to stop the bleeding, so to speak, before it’s too late, and our taxes are raised to the point where we can’t afford them. If elected, I would work hard to see that our tax dollars are managed wisely to insure the services that the borough provides are managed effectively and diligently, The Forest City Area Historical Society will host a performance by bluegrass band “The Young Brothers” Sunday, May 17, at 6 p.m. at the Historical Society Museum, Main roads and storm drains are maintained and the DPW and Police Department and Dundaff streets.

Paul Kwiec (D) Borough Council I am a lifelong resident of Dickson City and have owned and operated a business for 30 years. My business experience gives me the background and expertise to serve our community as a member of council. I would like to see more accountability of the taxpayers’ money. Our community has grown over the past several years and can continue to do so with the right management. When politicians think of themselves — not the community — that’s not progress. Progress is moving ahead, watching finances and not incurring enormous debt. We cannot continue spending on projects that do not benefit our community. Our senior citizens cannot afford another huge (50 percent) tax increase. Your tax dollars should be monitored and carefully spent on much-needed projects.

You have heard of things that need to be done…let’s starting getting them done.

A PRESENTATION OF THE FAC PROTECTS THE HEALTH OF JESSUP RESIDENTS

This clean, natural gas plant will replace aging coal plants, which pollute our air from hundreds of miles away. The plant will use the same natural gas used to cook and heat homes, and will accelerate wind and solar energy generation. The PA EPA will not allow the plant if it poses any risk.

VERY QUIET

Due to the switch to air-cooling, the plant will not produce visible emissions.

Designed to minimize visibility, especially from residences. The plant will be located behind a tree line and more than 2,000 feet from the nearest residence.

It will be much less visible than the M-2 manufacturing-zoned site favored by opponents. Our proposed site is the only location in Jessup where a modern power plant can be built.

NO VISIBLE EMISSIONS

The plant will be very quiet; residents will not hear it over the sound of the Casey Highway.

10:29 | CORNELLCHR

AN IDEAL SITE

LOCAL JOBS

Invenergy gives preference to local workers, which keeps turnover low.

Our new Clean Energy Scholarship Program at Lackawanna College will provide full tuition, educational internships, and the potential for full-time employment to two local students each year.

ACTS

A new, clean natural gas power plant is an important decision for Jessup. Residents deserve the facts.

PROTECTS LOCAL WATER

Based on community input and in consultation with water experts, we switched from a water-cooled to an air-cooled system to eliminate water usage concerns.

CLEAN BURNING NATURAL GAS The state-of-the-art plant’s high efficiency, low emissions natural gas system cannot and will not use landfill methane gas, as some have claimed.

HIGHER PROPERTY VALUES

The plant will generate more than $50 million in community revenue that can go toward property tax relief, local schools, public safety and civic organizations. These investments will increase home values.

FAMILY-SUSTAINING JOBS

Over 30 months, more than 600 local union construction workers will be able to sustain their families and will spend money at local establishments. Once the plant is built, there will be 30 well-paying, permanent jobs that start at $27 per hour and will have a total annual payroll of $4 million.

CLEANER AIR RIGHT HERE

Building the plant will result in healthier, cleaner air in Jessup by replacing generation from old, polluting coal plants elsewhere in the region. The majority of health risks from coal pollution are experienced more than 100 kilometers from the source.

Now that the grilling season is finally underway, I am getting a lot of requests for burgers, so here are some great tips when purchasing the best meat for the tastiest burger. Do you ever wonder if you are getting the best meat? A great one to buy is regular ground chuck with 25 to 30 percent fat content. (You will lose most of this fat in the cooking, but not the great flavor.) Beef ground too fine will crumble when cooked; too coarse and it won’t hold together. When cooking indoors, use a cast-iron grill pan with small ridges, if possible, to keep burgers from cooking in their own fat. Also, handformed patties are juicier and have more flavor. Never press burgers while cooking.

The Best Grilled or Broiled Burger Shape 1-1/2 pounds (70 to 75 percent) lean ground beef chuck into four (1-inch-thick) patties. Season with pepper, to taste.

To grill: Grill 4 to 6 inches above hot coals 3 minutes on one side; turn and cook 5 minutes for rare; 8 minutes for medium and 12 minutes for well-done.

To broil: Broil an additional 1 minute per side for medium and 2 minutes per side for well-done. Yield 4 burgers.

Healthy Hamburgers 1 pound lean ground beef 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/4 cup finely chopped celery 1/4 cup grated carrot 1/4 cup chopped parsley 1/4 cup wheat germ 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 egg Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Shape into 5 patties; 200 calories each.

To grill: place rack 3 inches from coals. Grill over medium-high coals for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, for rare 5 to 7 minutes, and 8 to 10 minutes for welldone. Turn only once.

To broil: Place on broiling pan 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil, using same time as for grilling. Yield: 5 burgers.

Veggie Burgers with Cheese 1/2 cup shredded zucchini 1/2 cup shredded carrot 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion 2 tablespoons ranch dressing 1 ounce slice American or Cheddar cheese Put 1/2-cup each, zucchini and carrots; 2 tablespoons each, red onion and ranch dressing into a small bowl. Toss to mix and coat. Two minutes before burgers are done, top each one with a 1-ounce slice of American or Cheddar cheese. Cook just until cheese starts to melt. Place hot burgers on buns and top each with 2 tablespoons vegetable mixture.

1/2 cup chopped tomato 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper Heat above ingredients in saucepan over medium-low heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot and bell pepper is crisp-tender. Top hot dogs with chili mixture and coleslaw (buy about 1/2 pound).

Hot Dog Kabobs 1 pound fat-free hot dogs, cut in 1-inch pieces 1 medium onion, cut in 1-inch pieces 1 medium red bell pepper, cut in 1-inch pieces 1 pint cherry tomatoes 8-ounce pineapple chunks in juice Prepare a hot fire; lightly spray grill Ground Turkey Pitas with nonfat cooking spray.

1 tablespoon shortening If using strawberries, gently wash the berries; leave stems and hull attached.

Always pat dry with paper towels. If using maraschino cherries, drain and pat dry with paper towels. Set fruit aside. In a small saucepan, heat and stir the white baking bar and 1 tablespoon shortening over low heat until melted. Using a wooden skewer, dip half of each piece of fruit diagonally into the melted baking bar. Allow excess to drip off, then place fruit on waxed paper, undipped side down. Let stand about 30 minutes or until firm. In another small saucepan, heat and stir the chocolate and the remaining 1 tablespoon shortening over low heat until melted. Dip the undipped half of each piece of fruit diagonally into melted chocolate. Allow excess to drip off, then place fruit on waxed paper, first dipped side down. Let stand 30 minutes or until firm. (If necessary, refrigerate until firm. Serve fruit the same day it is dipped.) Yield: 24 servings.

Chocolate Cream Pound Cake 1 cup heavy cream 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Powdered sugar In a large mixing bowl, beat cream until stiff. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt; sift over the cream. Stir to blend thoroughly. Spoon batter into 8x4-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 50 to 55 minutes or until cake just begins to pull away from pan. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack to finish cooling. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
