ESTABLISHED 1880

by Donnell StumpDuring the Lehigh Township

Supervisors meeting on Monday,August 2, supervisors were unableto approve the minutes of the Julymeeting since no one offered a sec-ond to Larry Skinner’s motion toaccept them as presented. A unani-mous vote to accept the treasurer’sreport and another unanimous voteto pay the bills followed. One bill, for$1230 to solicitor George Hludzikfrom the garbage fund, was tabledfor clarification. Secretary/TreasurerPaula Sakse-Hoffman, who alsoserves as the garbage fee collector,noted that a delinquent account forwhich Atty. Hludzik had billed wassettled before being taken to themagistrate and should probably beremoved from the bill. One addition-al bill to RH Construction wasadded to the list of bills to be paid.

Detour requests were receivedfrom PennDOT for bridge work thatis planned for next summer. Thearea affected includes roads thatare used primarily by whitewaterrafting and cycling company bussesin the summer season. Concernwas raised over the heavier andmore frequent use that the detoursection will need to handle, espe-cially in light of the fact that at leastone section of the road has a nar-row cartway.

Some solutions suggested includ-ed asking for a liability waiver fromthe state or adding coverage to thetownship’s current insurance. BurtLewis suggesting having the statetake responsibility for the roadwhere the detour would be duringthe term of the construction. Thesupervisors will look into that possi-bility.

Zoning/Code Enforcement OfficerJohn Capossela reported that it isrumored that the Village of Peacewould like to build a five bedroomdwelling on the property. Caposselarequested that a site plan be donebefore construction approval isgiven. Sewage Enforcement OfficerWilliam Brior has also looked intothe project and suggested a com-prehensive plan be submitted.

Capossela also asked whether adecision had been made regardingdisposal of old records. Skinnernoted that there is a reten-tion/disposition schedule availablefrom PSATS, the state organizationwhich assists townships in adminis-trative ways. Skinner also toldCapossela that no reply had beenreceived from any elected officialregarding the broadband request.

Skinner noted that he had inves-tigated purchase of a riding lawn-mower and found instead a smalltractor equipped with a mower that

can also be used for roadside trim-ming and for small plowing jobs inthe winter. The cost of the usedmachinery is $7,500. In order tomake the purchase, three quotesmust be secured because of thecost of the item. Skinner will securethe additional quotes. He also willbe responsible for keeping the grassmowed and the building’s groundsmaintained.

The supervisors will meet withrepresentatives of BerkheimerAssociates during August to discussa proposal for Berkheimer to collectgarbage fees.

Township resident Glennys Sa -nute asked if the township couldclear the weeds from the area of thestop sign on Grist Mill Road. She isworried that many motorists areunfamiliar with the area and areactually traveling too fast on theroad, making it very dangerous,especially when the stop sign ishard to see. Sanute suggestedSTOP be painted on the roadway, oraffixed to the road surface withreflective strips, as it had been inthe past to make the intersectionsafer.

Sakse-Hoffman asked the super-visors o follow up on several pay-

Bridge work next summer inLehigh could create dicey detours

August 9 meeting will be continuedtonight, August 12, starting at 5 p.m.A variety of business could not becompleted, including reviewingspecs for paving on Towanda Street,reviewing sites that could accom-modate a new community/municipalbuilding, reviewing the work remain-ing to be done at the former com-munity building site, and more.Clara Holder, onto whose propertythe community building collapsedduring demolition, is complainingabout damage to her property thathas not been repaired. There isdamage to her sidewalks, driveway,

trees and bushes, and a gate andsteps, plus some remaining demoli-tion debris—a situation now nearlytwo months old. Her complaint wastabled to wait for the return of bor-ough solicitor Don Karpowich onAugust 12. Atty. Kevin Walsh fromhis office attended the meeting inhis place.

There was concern about theincomplete demolition project,because paperwork for the grantwas required to be submitted by theend of July. Karpowich will contactdemolition contractor PennEarthworks regarding finishing thework, and addressing Holder’s dam-age. Council member Linda Szokewill see that at least some of thepaperwork gets submitted thisweek.

Council also postponed any deci-sion on filling the seat made vacantby the death of Herb Albee. Someletters of interest have been sent tocouncil, and others are welcome.Council president Harvey Morrisonsaid that because Albee was a

Republican, council is looking for aRepublican replacement. A decisionis likely to be made at the nextmeeting on August 23.

Editorial

Townships Rally toProtect the Rights ofTheir Constituents

An Op-Edby David M. Sanko

Executive Director, PAState Association of

Township SupervisorsToday, as a township or

borough resident, you cango to a municipal meeting,speak out about whatʼs rightand wrong, and have a realand lasting impact on whathappens in your community.

Tomorrow, however, thatmight not be the case. Andthe sad thing is, many Penn -sylvanians arenʼt aware thatsomething they value, andpossibly take for granted,could be snatched away.And thatʼs their right to beheard, loud and clear, bytheir local elected leaders.

As I write, state lawmakersare preparing to hold hear-ings on two serious threatsto our democratic way of life,House Bill 2431 and SenateBill 1357, which would radi-cally reshape our common-wealth by snuffing out town-ships and boroughs.

The most onerous meas-ure, House Bill 2431, is noth-ing short of a slap in the faceto our founding fathers.Proposed by Rep. ThomasCaltagirone of Berks County,the bill would make Penn -sylvaniaʼs community-basedsystem of governing uncon-stitutional—unconstitution-al!—and replace it withsomething he says is better:

an out-of-sight mega-bureaucracy overseen bythe county.

In protest, supervisors inhundreds of townships haverallied and passed resolu-tions that oppose the bills.Despite this grassrootsuprising—isnʼt that whatAmerica is all about?—Caltagirone and his fellow“do-gooders” continue tostand firm on their bigger-is-better platform, a house ofcards built on whimsy, notfact, and claim they knowwhat is best forPennsylvania.

Their argument hinges onthe debatable premise thatthe commonwealth shouldfollow the lead of a handfulof other states, bulldoze itspatchwork of “inefficient” and“redundant” municipalities,and create a landscape ofbigger, supposedly more effi-cient governments.

But we donʼt have to lookbeyond our borders for

examples of the bigger-gov-ernment model. Weʼve gotthem right here inPennsylvania. Look atplaces like Phila delphia,Harrisburg, Pitts burgh,Reading, and Allen town.Theyʼre larger, for sure, butare they more efficient?More responsive? Moreaffordable?

Not by a long shot. But ifyouʼre searching for anexample of a better-govern-ment model, look no fartherthan the nearest township.There, youʼll find hardwork-ing, fiscally responsible menand women who worktogether, do more with less,and are frugal with tax dol-lars. Theyʼre also deeplycommitted to preservingPennsylvaniaʼs long-stand-ing tradition of government“of the people, by the people,and for the people” in an agewhere big boxes (thinkHome Depot) rule.

But are big boxes the solu-tion? Maybe for grocerystores and discount retailers,but not for government,where hands-on, within-reach leadership—the visionof William Penn and ournationʼs founding fathers—still makes as much sensetoday as it did hundreds ofyears ago.

Of course, critics will saythat township supervisorsare protesting the likes ofHouse Bill 2431 becausethey want to preserve theirjobs and power. But self-preservation is not their moti-vation.

Townships, instead, aredetermined to protect some-thing they know their resi-dents hold sacred, and thatʼstheir fundamental right togovern themselves locally.

Why, I ask, would anyonewant it any other way?

Author’s note: If youvalue grassroots governing,please call or e-mail yourstate representatives andsenators and voice youropposition to House Bill2431 and Senate Bill 1357.Lawmakers want—andneed—to hear from their vot-ers. Therefore, the morevoices that protest this legis-lation, the better the chancesof protecting and preservingPennsylvaniaʼs local govern-ments along with the town-ship way of life for manyyears to come.

Recent survey revealsthat do-it-yourself projects

remain strongthroughout 2010

On August 11, UGIUtilities, Inc., hopes this dateon the calendar (8/11) willserve as a natural reminderfor residents to call 8-1-1prior to any digging project tohave underground utilitylines marked. A survey bythe National GardeningAssociation found that 68percent of households antic-ipate their do-it-yourself lawnand garden projects willremain the same in 2010despite the recession.

When calling 8-1-1, home-owners are connected to

Pennsylvania One Call,which notifies the appropri-ate utility companies of theirintent to dig. Professionallocators are then sent to therequested digging site tomark the approximate loca-tions of underground lineswith flags and spray paint.

Anyone planning to dig onthe weekend should call 8-1-1 during the first half of theweek. Pennsylvania OneCall requires a three workingday period before theplanned project start date.

Striking a single line cancause injury, repair costs,fines and inconvenient out-ages. Every digging project,no matter how large or small,

warrants a call to 8-1-1.Installing a mailbox, puttingin a fence, building a deckand laying a patio are allexamples of digging projectsthat need a call to 8-1-1before starting.

“On August 11 andthroughout the year, weremind homeowners andcontractors alike to call 8-1-1before digging to eliminatethe risk of striking an under-ground utility line,ʼʼ said GaryMaurer, UGI DamagePrevention Coordinator.“Failure to call before dig-ging results in more than250,000 unintentional hitsannually, and we do not wantanyoneʼs project to becomepart of the statistic.ʼʼ

The depths of utility linesvary for a number of reasonssuch as erosion, previousdigging projects and unevensurfaces. Utility lines need tobe properly marked becauseeven when digging only afew inches, the risk of strik-ing an underground utilityline still exists.

Visit www.call811.com orwww.paonecall.org for moreinformation about 8-1-1 andthe call-before-you-digprocess.

Helping handsby Ruth Isenberg

Our communities would not function without volunteers.Think about it. Who puts on the fairs and festivals that are somuch fun to visit? Volunteers. Who feeds the hungry, at com-munity lunches and at area food pantries? Volunteers. Whofights the fires, mans the ambulances, directs traffic in emer-gencies? Volunteers.

Some of these organizations have paid employees.Churches have pastors. Schools have administrators andteachers and staff. But volunteers still have an important roleto play, filling in the gaps and oftne, working in ways that arelargely unseen and unappreciated.

A case in point is last weekend’s cleanup of the Black Creekin Weatherly. A handful of volunteers worked to beautify thecreek as it passes by the Trainworks Complex. Piles of brushwere removed from the creek. Flowers were tended along thebank. Others worked inside the buildings, getting them readyfor public use at the Trainworks Festival.

This weekend, the Firemen’s Carnival continues in WhiteHaven, and Picnic in the Park will be enjoyed in Weatherly.

In White Haven, the town is coming together to show off thecommunity and its assets in the annual Jam Below the Damnext weekend.

Without volunteers, none of those events would happen.Please support their efforts, and add your own to them.

THE JOURNAL-HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 2010—PAGE A3

A lightly scheduled week-end in my planning book heldout the hope of some R&R.But it seems that workexpands to fill all availabletime lately. A printing for oneof our customers was pushedback to Friday, and then weneeded to go get it. Theweekend turned out to bedominated by driving.Between my regular sched-ule and the pick up, I spentnearly eight hours on the

road Friday, with Ruth ridingshotgun on an evening ride toour furthest supplier andback.

The only blessing was thecool temperatures and somegood mileage.

As a reward for my Fridaynight trip, I then was on theroad Saturday morning todeliver the work, but then wasable to meet Ruth and Clarafor a shopping excursion fol-lowed by a dine-out. There

were a lot of people out andaround in the Poconos, agood thing, so we paced our-selves through the afternoon.There was enough daylightfor a dog walk, and then aDVD.

R&R finally came Sunday,with a chance to sleep in, fol-lowed by a day dominated bya trip to some roadsidestands to buy fresh local pro-duce. The dogs came with,and their patience was

rewarded with a swim. Wecaught a quick snack at theOur Lady of LourdesSummer Festival inWeatherly. It's become habitto wander through the event'sflea market area. To ourdelight, there were twoBarney dolls, a giantChristmas version, and thesmaller doll that if squeezed,plays the Barney song. Chadalready has two of these

There was even time forsome yard work, and a trip torecycling—we accumulatenewspapers—dailies, week-lies, plus our own. We fin-ished up with another DVD.

I sighted a couple of GreatBlue Herons on my ride onSaturday morning, in aPocono bog that is visiblefrom Interstate 380. We alsosighted the top half of a bearas we travelled throughHickory Run State Park. NewYorkers in an SUV had sight-ed it first, and it apparentlysighted them and lay down ina blueberry patch. All wecould see from the roadwaywas a bit of bear body, the topof bear head, and two big,fuzzy ears. The SUV hadstopped in the middle ofRoute 534, and the bear hadstopped doing what it wasdoing—a stand-off.

Other than that, we'vesighted a lot of baby deer. Itappears that the early rainsgave abundant forage for fer-tile does.

This week, White Haven hostsa firemen's fundraising carnival,as the White Haven VolunteerFire Company moves on plansto build a new and much-neededfire house. Next week, WhiteHaven's downtown hosts itsannual festival—the Jam Belowthe Dam on August 21 and 22.Further out, the PennsylvaniaRenaissance Faire hasopened for its season.

State Rep. Keith McCallsaid the Pennsylvania De -part ment of EnvironmentalProtection has increasedrebates available to CarbonCounty homeowners whoreplace old, obsolete homefurnaces or hot water heat -ers with new, energy-efficientmodels.

“Nearly half of your resi-dential energy consumptiongoes to heating your home

and your hot water—soimproving the efficiency offurnaces and hot waterheaters can save you bigmoney in the long run,”McCall said. “Thanks to fed-eral stimulus dollars you cannow get up to $1,000 backon a new heating or hotwater system and be readyfor winter.

“Even though the tempera-ture outside is still scorchinghot, itʼs actually a great timeto think about upgrading yourhome heating system—notwaiting for a dead-of-winterbreakdown—and theseincreased rebates can help

you get the job done afford-ably.”

In April, the program wasoriginally funded with $11million, but so far only $2 mil-lion has been disbursed toroughly 3,900 Pennsylvaniaresidents. Rebates originallyranged from $250 to $500,but recently were increasedto $250 to $1,000 dependingon the equipment pur-chased.

To find out how to applyand what heating equipmentis eligible, residents shouldvisit www.paheatingrebates.com, or call toll-free to 1-877-592-2061.

Ever wonder what roads would be like withouttraffic lights? A mess, right? Well, that was exactlythe scene in the early 1900s. Cars had just becomeavailable to the public, and the roads were filledwith them, plus horse-drawn carriages andbicycles. Driving through such crowded roads wasdifficult, especially at intersections.

Although police officers might direct traffic atreally busy intersections, most drivers were left tofend for themselves, often causing accidents. Oneday, inventor Garrett Morgan saw a bad accident atan intersection and decided to invent somethingthat would make intersections less dangerous.

Morgan thought about the problem and cameup with a hand-cranked T-shaped pole light that

would control the flow of traffic at intersections. The light had three positions:stop, go and an all-traffic stop so pedestrians could cross the street safely.Morgan’s invention was a success and used everywhere until automatic trafficlights were invented.

THE JOURNAL-HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 2010—PAGE A5

Friendly'sDanville

by Seth IsenbergOn the interstate, headed

for State College, Ruth and Ihad resigned ourselves to afast-food meal. It was gettinglate, and we only had timefor a quick stop. Adding upwhat a fast food stop wouldcost for a large sandwich,fries, a drink and perhaps ashared sweet, we put aside

about $10 apiece. West ofBloomsburg, headed for astop at Danville, we spied agiant billboard touting asandwich platter with fries, alarge drink, and a sundae,for $9.99 at Friendlyʼs. Thatchanged our dinner plans.We decided to add the extratime for a quick sit-downmeal, in exchange for achance to relax for a fewminutes.

It's easy to forget about theFriendly's in Danville, as it'son the sidewith theh o t e l s ,tucked backon the serv-ice road. For me, Friendly'shas been part of my person-al landscape since I was lit-tle. There was a restaurant inthe little local strip mallwhere our family went foodshopping, and my parentswould reward us kids with anice cream on special occa-sions. Having a sandwichthere was a rare thing, but Iremember taking a date as ateenager, and when in col-lege, meeting up with friendsthere.

So on Friday night, around9:15, we rolled our van to a

stop in the Friendly's parkinglot off Route 54, and left thedogs to guard, as the sunwas down and the tempera-ture cool. The place wasvery busy, mainly with fami-lies with young children. Tomy amusement, there wasalso a couple of teenagerson a date not far from wherewe were seated.

There were plenty of sand-wich choices for $9.99, allwith fries, and for a couple ofdollars more there were full

platters. Ruthchose a newitem, theZesty QuesoBurger Melt,

a cheeseburger on grilledsourdough bread, toppedwith jalapeno peppers andcrispy tortilla strips, while Ichose a Chicken BruschettaMozzarella Super-melt,grilled chicken sandwich onCiabatta bread, with a bal-samic vinegar marinade onthe chicken, juicy tomatoesand lots of cheese.

We had alerted our serverthat we were traveling. Shewas perky, pleasant andprompt. Our drinks wereserved first, diet soda for meand iced tea for Ruth. Wespent only a few minutes ofobserving the comings andgoings of small children,many of them with an icecream-to-go in hand beforeour sandwiches came. Ourmeals arrived quickly, eachplate with a large, attractivesandwich, with a serving ofhot French fries filling theplatter.

The sandwiches were wellmade. My chicken was very

tasty, and Ruth was wellpleased with her selection.We shared, and were alsopleased with each other'schoices.

The sundae that comeswith the $9.99 special is twoscoops with one topping. Wehad fun picking through theflavors. Ruth chose ViennaMocha Chunk and Nuts OverCaramel with hot fudge; Idecided that I was going tosplurge, and bought anotherscoop and topping for anadditional $1.69, adding ascoop of Reese's Peanut -butter Cup to a scoop ofStrawberry, and a Scoop ofHunka Chunka PeanutbutterFudge, with toppings of hotfudge and pineapple.

Our sundaes arrivedpromptly, and we enjoyedour sweets, and were backon the road, after spendingslightly more than a fast-foodstop for considerably morefood, while extending ourtravel by about a half anhour.

The offer can be found atFriendly's throughout ourarea.

www.friendlys.com*****

Saturday afternoon wewere able to take Ruth'smom Clara to dine at theBoulder View Tavern in LakeHarmony, this time on theporch overlooking the lakeand the beach. Later in themeal, a duo performed softrock hits for the outdoor barcrowd too. This was fun. Thesun slowly angling downover Big Boulder Lake madean attractive and relaxingsetting.

an endless array of savory 16thCentury foods and delicious traditionalfavorites sure to satisfy the heartiestof appetites. Enjoy giant roastedturkey legs, steak-on-a-stake, fish-n-chips, scotch eggs and soup served inbread bowls. Feast upon freshlybaked pastries, heaping scoops ofItalian gelato and more.

Select from avariety of the Faire's own-made softdrinks, freshly squeez ed lemonadeand frozen fruit concoctions.

A Plethora of Entertainment on 13 StagesThe fantasy unfolds on 13 open-air

stages with over 70 shows daily. Mar -vel at sword swallowers, firebreathers, magicians, jugglers anddare-devil tumblers. Sing along withbawdy rogues and flirtatious wenches.Ex perience Shakespeare's plays on athree-story replica of London's GlobeTheatre as they were performed in thedays of old or laugh as the Shire'swackiest denizens perform hystericalComedia Del Arte loosely based onthe Bard's tragedies. Witness the trulyamazing display of the Royal Fal -coner's birds of prey in flight.

Be sure to witness the Match ofHuman Chess! Played on a massive40' x 40' chess board, it is a spectacu-lar stunt-filled extravaganza completewith swords, hand-to-hand combatand fast-paced wit.

Senator Webb, We want youon our side!But the Agent OrangeScience is clear………

What follows is the writtenreply to a brother Veteranfrom U.S. Veteran SenatorJames Webb regarding his(the senator’s) stall tactics asit relates to the additionalthree presumptives on AgentOrange exposure. More rhet-oric like a good US Senator,has this guy has forgotten hisVeteran roots?

I urge all Veterans to do thesame as our brother hasdone and write to SenatorWebb. We must get this guyback on our side.

“Thank you for contactingmy office regarding veteransaffected by Agent Orange. Iappreciate your taking thetime to share your views.

“Our nation has a specialobligation to provide healthcare to our service membersand veterans, particularlythose with an injury or illnessresulting from their service. Ihave spent my entire adult lifeadvocating on behalf of veter-ans and will continue to fightfor the best interests of themen and women who serveour nation in uniform.Furthermore, from 1977 to1981 I had the honor of serv-ing as a full committee coun-sel on the House Committeeon Veterans’ Affairs, andspent a great deal of timeworking on this specificissue.

“On March 25, 2010, theSecretary of the Departmentof Veterans Affairs (VA)announced his intention toadd B-cell Leukemia,Parkinson’s disease, andcoronary artery disease tothe list of presumptive condi-

tions associated with expo-sure to Agent Orange. Thisdecision was taken withoutfull consultation with theCongress. Consequently, dur-ing consideration of the bill toprovide funding for this deter-miånation, I introduced anamendment clarifying thatunder existing law the VA isrequired to provide a 60-daycongressional review periodprior to spending funds underthe proposed new regulation.I am a staunch defender ofCongress’s constitutionaloversight responsibility. Tothat end, I have requestedthat the VA provide the scien-tific data used by theSecretary to make his deter-mination. He is now sched-uled to do so in a hearing thatwill be held in September.

“As a Vietnam combat vet-eran, former full committeecounsel to the HouseCommittee on Veterans’Affairs, and as a currentmember of the SenateCommittees on ArmedServices and Veterans’Affairs, I take a back seat tono one in my concern for ourveterans. Your views on veter-ans affected by AgentOrange are very helpful tome and my staff, and I hopethat you will continue to shareyour views with us in theyears ahead. I would alsoinvite you to visit my websiteat www.webb.senate.gov/ forregular updates about myactivities and positions onmatters that are important toVirginia and our nation.

“Thank you once again forcontacting my office.”

Jim Webb

Medicare andthe VA Health-care programs Question: What about theinterplay between veteransbenefits and Medicare?Should I take Medicare if Iam receiving V.A. Benefits?

Answer:Generally, if you have vet-

erans benefits, you shouldalso enroll in Medicare Part Aand Part B to guarantee cov-erage outside the VeteransAffairs system. In almost allcases, Medicare and V.A.Benefits do not work togeth-er. To receive V.A. Benefits,you must get care at a V.A.Hospital or clinic unless youhave permission to get serv-ices elsewhere, which is rare.In addition, Medicare doesnot pay for any care providedat a V.A. Facility. If you dropMedicare, you will have to getall your health care at V.A.Hospitals or clinics. SinceVeterans Affairs does notguarantee benefits to all vet-erans, you could be left withno coverage at all and youmay not always be near aV.A. Site.

Although you should prob-ably enroll in Part A and PartB of Medicare, you probablyshould not enroll in aMedicare private drug plan(Part D of Medicare), if youhave V.A. benefits. Veterans’coverage is more compre-hensive than Medicare drugcoverage and charges nopremiums and no or limitedco payments for prescrip-

tions. Since VA coveragepays first and Medicare payssecond, you will not needMedicare to supplement yourveterans’ drug coverage.

In addition, if you ever dowant to enroll in the Medicaredrug benefit later, V.A. drugcoverage is considered asgood as the Medicare drugbenefit (“creditable cover-age”) so you will not have topay a penalty as long as youenroll in the Medicare drugbenefit within 63 days of los-ing veterans’ benefits.

But you may want to join aMedicare private drug plan ifyou live very far from a V.A.site and the Medicare privatedrug plan includes nearbypharmacies in its network, orif you live in a nursing homethat does not accept your V.A.drug benefits

VFW POST 6615 recruitingnew members: WHY JOIN THE VETERANSOF FOREIGN WARS?

For some veterans whoserved, and many othersreturning from overseas, theVeterans of Foreign Warsoften presents the cliché of abunch of old veterans sittingaround, drinking and tellingwar stories. For others thetimelines cause a conflict thatthe WWII vets don’t recog-nize the Korea and Viet NamVets or the Viet Nam Vets feelthe current conflicts are thetraditional hardships andloosely supported war theyexperienced. Korea washushed up and little was toldto spare a Nation recoveringfrom WWII.

Unlike other organizations,VFW membership spansnearly seven generations ofmilitary service on Foreignsoil in defense of the UnitedStates. Everyone internallybelieves that their part isunique, that is human nature.The battlefields of Europe,Fighting U-Boats, the PacificIslands. The frozen Chosin,land of fire and ice. FuldaGap, Cuba Crisis and cat andmouse with nuclear sub-marines. Jungle wars and firebases in Viet Nam, TetOffensive, Brown Water Navyand the fall of Saigon. TheGulf War, Iraqi Freedom ourcontinued war on terror allhave a place in history and inmany hearts and minds. Thedirty little wars waged farfrom the general public’sknowledge, the Drug War,Grenada, Panama, Hostagerescue and the little knowndesert incursions in Egyptand surrounding deserts.Though all different in its ownway, it is the same when itcomes to membership in aVFW. It is for certain that vet-erans gather and have drinksand tell war stories. But likemany of the wars and con-flicts we served in, only halfof the real story is told.

VFW HISTORY AND MIS-SION, What’s it really about?

The Veterans of ForeignWars (VFW) is an organiza-tion with a long history ofaccomplishment and service.It was formed over 100 yearsago by Veterans of theSpanish-American War(1898) and the PhilippineInsurrection (1899-1902) whoreturned home to discoverthat they had no medical careor pensions. These menfounded local organizationsto secure rights and benefitsfor their service and thoseorganizations evolved intothe VFW. It is now one of themost prestigious veteransorganizations in the worldwith a membership of 1.8 mil-lion members and approxi-mately 9,000 Posts world-wide. The Veterans of ForeignWars is a powerful voice forveterans’ advocacy active inmemorial fund-raising efforts,supporting special events for

d i s a b l e dveterans,recogniz-ing volun-teer serv-ice and

being involved in efforts tohelp victims of natural disas-ters and less-fortunate chil-dren. The VFW mission is to“honor the dead by helpingthe living” through service toveterans, community service,and commitment to nationalsecurity and a strong nationaldefense.

Journal SportsPAGE B6—THE JOURNAL-HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 2010

by Steve StalloneThere have been dozens

and dozens of outstandingplayers in the storied historyof Weatherly basketball. Butthose who had the pleasureof watching Henry Panckeriperform on the hardwood inthe mid-to-late 1960s will tellyou he was one of the great-est to ever play for theWreckers.

A master of the bank shotand a big-time scorer,Panckeri poured in a whop-ping 982 points during hisWrecker career. However, heis probably best rememberedfor his clutch play leading upto Weatherly’s first AnthraciteLeague and District 11 cham-pionships in 1967. Simplyput, with the game on theline, no one was better thanPanckeri.

That type of play has madehim a deserving member ofthe 2010 class of theHazleton Area Sports Hall ofFame. He will be inductedalong with 14 other individu-als and a basketball team atthe annual hall of fame ban-quet Sunday, Sept. 19 atGenetti’s Ballrooms in Hazle -ton. Also to be inducted is thelate Tony Antinozzi, one ofthe greatest coaches inWeatherly basketball history.More on Antinozzi in a futureedition of The Journal-Herald.

Panckeri, a 6-foot-3 sharp-shooter, was the region’s topscorer as a senior, but it washis play late in the seasonthat placed him among thebest players this area hasseen.

He scored 35 points –including a run of sevenstraight jump shots – in a 74-47 regular season-endingvictory over Freeland thatearned the Wreckers a tiewith eventual PCIAA statechampion St. Gabriel’s for theAnthracite League second-half title. Panckeri was thenresponsible for the Wreckersultimately rallying past St.Gabe’s in the teams’ second-half playoff at Marian HighSchool.

Weatherly trailed by sixpoints with 28 seconds leftand still was behind 61-57when Panckeri scored to pullthe Wreckers within two atthe eight-second mark. Thenhe intercepted DennisOlexa’s throw-in intended forPaul Hoffman and launchedone of his famed bank shotsjust before the final buzzer,sending the game into over-time.

The Wreckers went on towin 65-63 in overtime asPanckeri scored 24 pointsand teammate Jack Hartzrimmed 30. Local sportswriter Don Barnes called it

one of the greatest games inleague history.

“Weatherly certainly could-n’t have won without 30points by Hartz,” Barneswrote, “but the Wreckerscouldn’t have made it evenclose without the overall play,scoring and rebounding outof Panckeri. He played bril-liantly all night and gave 35minutes of sheer effort.”

A few nights later before anoverflow crowd of 1,900 backat Marian, Panckeri scored20 points and grabbed 16rebounds as the Wreckersagain came from behind tobeat the G-Men 50-45 in aplayoff for the overallAnthracite Championship,their first since moving fromthe Mountain League.

Panckeri then put on anindividual clinic with 38 pointsand 21 rebounds on 16-of-28shooting from the field andhe again showcased his ball-handling skills in Weatherly’s85-78 win over Minersville inthe District 11 Class C titlegame before a packed houseat Mahanoy Area HighSchool.

Many of Panckeri’s 16 fieldgoals were from long rangeat difficult angles.

“I just wish there werethree-pointers back then,”said Panckeri, who now livesin Mechanicsburg in Cum -berland County.

His shooting successenabled him to become theCarbon County-PantherValley’s top scorer at 22.2points per game, and theAnthracite League’s second-best scorer behind Hoffmanas a senior. He made honor-able mention all-state by boththe Associated Press andUnited Press International,who at the time didn’t haveseparate teams for eachschool classification. He wasalso named to the LowerAnthracite Scholastic Basket -ball All-Star Team.

“Many claim this to be alost art, but an effective one ifperfected,” Bill Knepper,Weatherly’s first-year headcoach, said in talking abouthis star player’s ability toknock down deep bank shotswith amazing regularity.

Before dominating from theperimeter as a senior,Panckeri played inside as ajunior. He was the 10th-lead-ing scorer in the area at 16.5ppg that season, including 20in the Wreckers’ 66-65 loss toJim Thorpe in a playoff for theAnthracite League champi-onship.

His success on and off thehardwood eventually earnedhim the chance to continuehis academic and basketballcareers at the University ofPennsylvania, where he

would play under Dick“Digger” Phelps, the one-timeSt. Gabriel’s coach, futureUniversity of Notre Damecoach and ESPN collegebasketball analyst.

Panckeri’s athletic abilitywasn’t limited to the basket-ball court, where he was aregular on the local tourna-ment scene for years aftercollege.

He was the first three-yearsports letterwinner in the his-tory of Weatherly HighSchool, displaying his talentsas a runner for the Wreckers’first cross country team andas both a pitcher and clutchhitter for their baseball team.

Panckeri finished ninth and12th in the District 11 CrossCountry Championships, andin baseball he was 4-1 as apitcher, hit over .300 and wasone of the area’s top run-pro-ducers.

Panckeri was namedWeatherly High’s top athletein 1967 and inducted into theWeatherly Area Sports Hallof Fame in 1993.

After graduating fromPenn, Panckeri spent thenext 35 years working for thePennsylvania Department ofLabor & Industry and SocialSecurity Administration in itsBureau of DisabilityDetermination before retiringin August of 2006. He alsohad special tours of duty as aSSA facilitator in SanFrancisco and Washingtonstate, earning several specialcitations fro the agency.

Panckeri and his wife Vickyare the parents of three sons:Scott, John and Mark, all for-mer scholastic athletes in theHarrisburg area. The couplealso has two grandchildren,J.D. and Carly.

Panckeri likes to spend histime either with his family,golfing or fishing. He alsoserves as a volunteer for HolySpirit Hospital in Camp Hill.
