As a local business owner, shopping locally is a big part of our family. You will always find us at local diners, grocery stores, small repair facilities, gift shops, and much more. We encourage our readers to do the same and to take advantage of our advertisers and their coupon’s found inside our magazine’s cou-pon cutter. Moving forward, in the next few months, you will find through-out the Pan-orama Community Magazine several tips on why you should shop locally. I leave you with this simple message I found on a web-site:

I want to take this time to thank you for read-ing Collum’s Column. I’ve received tremen-dous feedback thus far. I’m very much look-ing forward to writing each month, sharing my stories, thoughts and ideas. If you wish to contact me, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. Thank you for supporting Small Business-es… Come Grow With Us!

Shop Smart! Shop Local!

We are often asked the following ques-tion. Why do consumers shop out of town to purchase items such as, clothing, furniture, appliances, automobiles, and even food. This question brought back memories of a marketing study that I was involved with during my college years in the State of Wash-ington. The class from the previous year had conducted the survey work and my class was asked to compile the data and draw a conclu-sion. The survey had about 30 questions that were asked to about 850 participants from eight towns in the surrounding area, includ-ing all age groups. The basic need for us to understand is why do area shoppers leave their home town to shop in other cities. The conclusion basically boiled down to simply perception. The shopper would receive a better deal or product selection in slightly larger cities. What we found was the exact opposite to be the reality. This was es-pecially true of the so called big ticket items like appliances, furniture and automobiles. Take for example, automobiles. With the exception of purchasing a home, the fam-ily vehicle becomes the next largest purchase made. The purchaser often feels that the price of a car will be less at the “big town dealership” than the “local dealership.” This is simply not the case when all aspects of the purchase are factored in. The local dealer is priced just as competitively and is able to of-fer much better service to the consumer in dealing with service issues after the purchase is made. What we truly found to be accurate was that marketing and advertising had caused the customer to feel the way they did. When

in reality they could have dealt with a locally owned business and received just as good of a deal if not a better one. This was true in 1970 and remains just as true today. As a point of fact, we found, in 1970, that when a consumer shopped at a lo-cally owned business that the community, as a whole, was much stronger and more vibrate. That is just as accurate today as back then. If we want and expect our community to continue to develop, local shopping is crucial to the growth and expansion of our city. The money we spend locally is reinvested into the community creating diversity and helping the community maintain its unique appeal. So take the time and spend the money to support local businesses. After all, small and local businesses are still the backbone of our economy. They are local people serving local people and are generally committed to stay-ing there and offering quality products and services to their residents. Let’s not forget the economic benefits of shopping locally. Local shopping is crucial to our continued growth, because the success of local businesses attracts and encourages other entrepreneurs to start local businesses, which leads to more jobs and revenue re-circulating throughout our community. The math for buying close to home is com-pelling. When you shop at a locally owned and operated business, 73% of your purchase remains in the local community. By contrast, when you shop at the big box store, or out of town, only 43% remains. The 30% difference is what makes our community stronger and more vibrant. When profits stay local, it in-creases the community’s wealth, tax revenue and standard of living. —Larry Collum, CEO/Publisher

"If you can breathe, you can do yoga.” We love this yoga quote at Mystic Power Yoga. It is so simple and so true. Yoga is ultimately the connection of body, breath, and mind, there-fore, anyone can benefit from a yoga practice. We encourage you to join our community! Running through the month of July is our 40 Days to a Personal Revolution program. We are absolutely ecstatic that our program has a sell-out number of participants, with just about 60 yogis taking part! This Baptiste 40 Days to Personal Revolution program offers change for our students lives through yoga, meditation, diet and personal inquiry. The record-breaking group will be graduat-ing on Friday, July 25th at the studio and we couldn't be more excited to share some of their transformations with you all next month! No need to worry though, MPY of-fers this program several times throughout the year, so stay tuned for your chance to be part of this amazing group the next time around. In addition to the on-going 40 Day Pro-gram, teacher training is also currently un-derway with Studio Owner and Certified Baptiste Teacher, Michele Fisher 500E-RYT, an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with over 500 hours of training and well over 10 years of experience as an instructor. Several committed yoga students are in training, learning the fundamentals and will soon be joining the already ever-growing staff at Mys-tic Power Yoga. We will be looking forward to welcoming them and introducing them to the community once their training is completed. Mark Your Calendars - For a special Hip Workshop on Sunday, July 13th from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. In this workshop you will learn and review many of the hip opening poses a yoga practice has to offer and the ben-efits these poses provide to your body. Hip poses are wonderful for relieving unwanted stress, calming the nervous system, combat-ing fatigue, as well as bringing positive emo-tional and energetic effects. This workshop is perfect for anyone who has hips (LOL!) A raw beginner to the most experienced yogi are encouraged to attend. Also perfect for anyone who sits at a desk all day, since long hours of

sitting cause the hip flexors to shorten limit-ing your ability to extend and possibly affect-ing the pelvic position and the lower back. As always a full schedule of basics, all levels and hour of power yoga classes are available 7 days a week, including both day and eve-ning classes. Always check out our updated weekly schedule on our website for all class dates and times. Our low-heat class 5:30 pm class Wednesday evenings continues and don't forget about our $5 community class with the donation of a canned good to benefit CEO on Sunday's at 3 pm. In addition, be-cause of the popularity our Kids Yoga classes, up to age 10, we will continue indefinitely on Saturdays from 9 am to 10 am. Its the perfect opportunity to get yourself and your kids started with the practice of yoga, since there is an adult Basics yoga class running si-multaneously! Speaking of kids, don't forget about the opportunity to book a Mystic Kids Yoga party, with budget-friendly class pack-ages starting at $149. Email [email protected] to book a date or for more information. Moving into August, Mystic Power Yoga will be holding a Community Outreach Event. A Community Dog Walk, led by lo-cal dog trainer, Arthur Bruno. Dog food and other supplies will be collected, which will benefit the Hazleton Animal Shelter. This event, which is open to anyone interested in joining us will take place on a Sunday in early August. Please check our facebook page for the specific date to be announced. Also in August, the Mystic Power Yoga community is invited to attend our Inaugural Deck Party, Friday, August 15th from 6 pm to 8 pm, rain or shine! Just a casual get to-gether, to enjoy the summer weather, friends, food and spirits!

In chiropractic college we called it “con-structive survival values”. As I see so many people, day after day, I watch how some peo-ple have better life coping skills than others. Why do some people seem to handle stress better than others? I think it’s both heredity and environment. Some people their brains are just wired to be calmer, where others have quick tempers. But I write this article because I want you to look deep within, and ask yourself this question. “I have a choice as to how I will respond to every circumstance in life. I can choose to respond in a positive way, or react in anger”. What choice do you make all day long? Some people cope with stress by drinking too much alcohol, taking street or prescrip-tion drugs, smoking, eating too much or other personality disorders. None of us are perfect, but I want to share some practical ways that I think will help you cope better with whatever stress you are going through right now.1. When someone hurts you, first focus to

stay calm. Don’t react quick-ly in anger.2. Proverbs says our tongue is like a rudder of a ship. So keep quiet, think before you speak.3. Read a daily inspirational book, it will re-new your mind so you act positively.4. You will gradually cultivate peace, and your coping skills will improve. I think these steps will transform your life. Then you can ultimately get to the point in your life when you totally just surrender to God. When you do the best you can, yet you realize you are not in control. You let God take over, and things will fall into place. So I pray you work on improving your daily coping skills. You can’t escape away from the stress of this world. You must learn to find happiness in the midst of chaos.

A research study pub-lished May 29, 2014 reports that “white women who get five or more blistering sunburns between the ages of 15 and 20 have an 80 percent increased risk for mela-noma,” which is the most deadly form of skin cancer. Further, these individuals have “a 68 percent greater risk for two other forms of skin cancer known as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.” The study followed over 100,000 white fe-male nurses for nearly two decades. At the beginning of the study the women’s ages ranged from 25 to 42 and the participants lived in 14 different states. A take home message from this study is that adolescents and young adults must take adequate precautions to protect against sun damage. This is of utmost importance for those with fair skin who readily burn as well as anyone with a family history of skin cancer. Since basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are related to cu-mulative sun exposure older individuals with these traits should practice adequate sun protection as well. As a related aside: Huffington Post published an informative article entitled: “Here's How To Apply Sunscreen To Your Back Without Anyone Else's Help”. Men-tioned is the “As-Seen-On-TV Roll-A-Lo-tion Body Lotion Applicator” which sells for $9.99. A clever do it yourself solution: use a paint roller, slather with sunscreen, and rub over your back. Probably won’t see this one on QVC.


Orthopedic Surgeon Joseph Horton, MD,Joins Alliance Medical GroupInformation provided by the lehigh valley hospital-hazleton

Alliance Medical Group, a practice of Lehigh Valley Physician Group-Hazleton, welcomes orthopedic surgeon Joseph Horton, MD, into its health network. Horton re-ceived his doctor of medicine degree from Medical College of Pennsylvania, Hahnemann University, Philadelphia, his fellowship in arthroscopy and sports medicine at New Mex-ico Orthopaedics Associates,

Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is board certified by the American Board of Orthopae-dic Surgery. As an orthopedic surgeon, Horton provides comprehen-sive treatment for a variety of disorders, conditions, and in-juries of the skeletal system in-cluding arthritis, arthroscopic surgery, joint replacement, pain, rehabilitation, sports medicine, and trauma/frac-

tures. Horton was attracted to orthopedics as a career after suffering several sports injuries himself as part of an active lifestyle. “My phi-losophy of patient care is a holistic approach treating the whole patient,” he says.

“We understood our community’s need for orthopedics services and we are extremely happy that Dr. Horton has joined us,” says John Fletcher, president of Lehigh Valley Hospital at Hazleton. “We worked hard to re-cruit a high quality, fellowship trained ortho-pedic surgeon to meet our patients’ needs.” As a native Pennsylvanian, he is very fa-miliar with the Greater Hazleton area and the northeastern area of the state. “I am so happy to come home. All of my family still lives here.” Dr. Horton will reside in the Greater Hazleton area and is excited to become part of the community. For a consultation or appointment at his office at the Health & Wellness Center at Hazleton, 50 Moisey Drive, Hazleton, call 570-501-6730.

Skin Cancer Screening: Thursday, July 24, from 9-11 a.m.

Skin cancer strikes more people world-wide than any other form of cancer. Although skin cancer is more common in fair-skinned people, anyone can develop it. The main cause of skin cancer is ultra-violet radiation from sunlight, especially when too much time is spent in the sun. Avoiding sun overexposure, and wearing a sunblock with a SPF of at least 30 are the best defenses against skin cancer. Catching skin cancer ear-ly, through regular skin cancer screenings, can provide a better chance for successful treat-

ment. Lehigh Valley Hospital-Hazleton is hosting a free skin cancer screening on Thursday, July 24, from 9-11 a.m. conducted by board-certi-fied dermatologist Kathleen Veglia, MD. The screening will be held at the 15th Street outpa-tient facility, located on the corner of 15th and Church Streets across from Domino’s Pizza. Pre-registration is required. Space is limited. To register for the skin cancer check, call 570-501-6204.

Contrary to popular belief, “sun poison-ing” doesn’t actually mean you’ve been poi-soned. In fact, sun poisoning is really just an-other way of saying that you have a really bad sunburn. When you get sun poisoning, your body is suffering from a condition known as photodermatitis-an allergic reaction to your skin’s overexposure to the sun. In other words, you got fried! However, that bad burn can come along with some severe symptoms, causing a lot of discomfort. Learning to tell the difference between mild and severe sunburn can make a big difference in how you treat your skin after overexposure to the sun.Signs of severe sunburn or sun poisoning can include skin redness, blistering, pain, tin-gling, swelling, headache, nausea, dizziness, dehydration, vomiting, fever and chills. If you’re suffering from mild, topical symp-toms, use the same remedies you would on any other sunburn. Stay hydrated, apply ice

or cold compresses, and take anti-inflammatory herbs or nutrients to reduce swelling and itching. Ap-ply aloe to affected areas, as it tends to help relieve itching, and stay out of the sun until your burn heals. If you’re suffering from any of the system-ic systems listed, boost your efforts to cool down and stay hydrated. Drink lots of fluids, take cool baths, and pat-don’t rub-your skin dry. Stay in a cool environment until your symptoms ease. If at any point, your pain becomes ex-treme, you begin vomiting, or your fever spikes too high (over 104°F), head to your doctor or emergency room. In more serious cases, a doctor can prescribe an oral steroid to reduce inflammation or administer IV fluids to help restore hydration quickly. For more information on ways to avoid sun poisoning, please contact our Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Bill Spear, R.Ph, CCN at Hazle Drugs Natural Health Center, 1 E.

Basic Steps To Start Meditatingprovided by peace of mind yoga

Family & Cosmetic Dentists Who Care…

We’ve all heard that meditation is good for us. Well, it’s true. Taking just 5 or 10 minutes a day to sit quietly in meditation has calming effects that are cumulative, and, over time, you will live more consistently from the still-ness of your soul. We are always going, do-ing, and worrying about our to-do lists, so it is a huge shift for us to suddenly do noth-ing. But if we take some time to do noth-ing, something actually happens to us on a deeper level. We suddenly begin to open our hearts, and see things differently, with new eyes. We begin to live from our own truth. The time we spend in meditation allows us to clear our minds from the mental chatter and brings awareness to our intuition. Our intu-ition is there, always speaking to us but we

can’t hear it with all the mental clutter. When we sit quietly and dive deep within our own heart, the possibilities are endless. But where to start?1~ Find a comfortable seated position. You may sit in a straight backed chair with your feet resting on the floor. Allow your hands to rest on your lap with palms facing up.2 ~ Close your eyes and bring your awareness to your breath. Breathe through your nose and notice each inhalation and exhalation.3 ~ Monitor your thoughts. When you notice your thoughts, gently let them go by return-ing focus to your breath. Don’t try and stop the thoughts, or give meaning to them. Sim-ply allow them to pass by and return to your breath. Start with 10 minutes, and only sit longer if you feel that that is too short.

Summer brings lots of fun, which can often lead to accidental injuries. It is impor-tant to familiarize yourself with the best way to react to certain injuries. If you or your child has an injury that causes a tooth to be knocked out, contact your dentist immediately. If it is a primary (baby) tooth the emphasis probably will not be toward saving the tooth but checking any damage to adjacent teeth. If you or your child loses a permanent (adult tooth) every effort is made in saving the tooth. Obviously, it is most important to assess your or your child’s overall medical condition

in the case of any in-juries and determine if they require the emer-gency room. If the in-jury is only of the mouth, contact your den-tist immediately. Most dentists should have a way to be contacted after hours and weekends if you are an existing patient. If possible, find the tooth and rinse it gen-tly in cool water. Do not scrub it with soap, use only water, Replace the tooth in the sock-et and hold it there with gauze or a washcloth. If you can’t put the tooth back in the socket, place the tooth in a clean container of milk, saliva, or water. The faster you act, the better your chances of saving the tooth. If you or your child chips or fractures a tooth, contact your dentist immediately. Quick ac-tion can save the tooth, prevent infection, and possibly reduce the need for extensive dental treatment. Some dental emergencies are not caused by injury. Toothaches can be very painful. Again, contact your dentist immediately. All the above scenarios have one thing in common, contacting your dentist imme-diately. Your dentist will assist you or your child back to great dental health.

Summer months can become exceedingly hot for many but especially for seniors. Every summer, the news reports stories of seniors facing life-threatening conditions, and in some cases, even death, due to effects of high temperatures. While it is widely known that seniors should take care when venturing out-doors during sweltering hot days, it is also im-portant for seniors to know they can become overheated in their own homes. As seniors age, their bodies become less able to regulate internal temperatures. Some-times medications they take can contribute to this condition. As a result, you may find that seniors wear sweaters because they feel chilly when, in fact, they should not be cold at all. Other seniors may opt to leave air conditioners off for the same reason. In summer months, this type of behavior can cause seniors to be-come overheated in their own homes. It is vitally important for seniors to be aware of the dangers of becoming overheated. One place to start is by helping seniors prepare their homes for the summer months, especially if they live in areas where temperatures become extreme.

Exterior Make sure caulking around windows and weather strips around doors are in good repair. Having windows tinted to keep the sunlight at bay can help keep homes cool. Hire an air conditioning repair company to perform ser-vice on units: clean coils, filters, and appro-priate freon levels ensure air handlers are ef-ficient and prevent break-downs during critical months. Check to see if insulation and venti-lation in the attic is sufficient. Planting shade trees to provide cover from the sun can help keep homes cool.

Interior Install ceiling fans to keep rooms cool. Re-member, during the summer months ceiling fans should be set to run in a counter-clock-wise motion to vent air downwards for a cool-ing affect. (Most fans have a switch above the blades to do this, as in the winter months the blades should be running in a clockwise mo-tion). Make sure drapes or shades are adequate to keep the sun from beaming in through the windows during the peak of the day. Make sure the clothes dryer vents are clear. If they are clogged, the heat generated by the dryer seeps into the home instead of out the vent. Clogged dryer vents can present a fire hazard, so it is es-pecially important to maintain them properly. Small, battery-operated personal fans can help. Spray bottles filled with water offer a refreshing spritz to keep from overheating. In any event make sure seniors understand the dangers of becoming overheated during the summer. Some may be surprised this can happen in their own homes. The more edu-cation they receive regarding the dangers, the more able they are to take care of themselves properly and beat the heat in the summer.

EmergencyPreparedness When seniors live home alone, it is impor-tant for them to be prepared for emergencies. During sweltering summers, some states initi-ate rolling blackouts in order to keep power grids from overheating. Sometimes air condi-tioners simply break, or electricity can go out for other reasons. In these instances, it is im-portant for seniors to be prepared to keep cool until the situation is rectified. Freezing small bottles of water during the summer is a good idea. If the power goes out, removing them for drinking when they thaw can keep seniors cool. It is also a good idea to wet a few wash-cloths and keep them in the freezer; if there is a power outage, these can be placed on the back of the neck to help keep seniors cool. Storing extra bottled water is crucial to maintain prop-er hydration during an emergency. If seniors do not have family or friends close by, it may be a good idea to hire a company such as Comfort Keepers® to check on them to ensure safety during the summer months. Comfort Keepers can check the temperature levels and ventilation inside homes, as well as help perform daily tasks around the house to keep seniors cool.

Making the Decision to Move is Difficult.Finding the Right Place is Easy.

Living with pain is a daily thing for most of us and we are always looking for ways to help loosen tightness, ease pain and feel bet-ter. When I look for new treatment tech-niques and ideas, I tend to look at what the professional athletes do as they demand and receive only the best treatments as their ca-reers depends on them staying healthy. Re-

cently I came across a treatment technique called Myofascial Decompression that has been utilized for several years with profes-sional athletes including Olympic athletes, MLB pitchers, NFL linemen and more. Myofascial Decompression (MFD) is a technique that is based on an ancient treat-ment principle called cupping. After having a

positive experience with it, Chris DaPrato, a physical therapist started researching and de-veloping what is now known as MFD. Our body is an elastic structure that allows fluid to flow within and between its objects in order to nourish and maintain the health of muscles, joints, organs etc. This structure called the fascial system, when injured will collapse a little on itself causing it to become compressed cutting off this normal flow. This includes circulation, nerve signals and lym-phatic fluid. This lack of flow causes the tis-sues to dry out and stick to each other causing what we call adhesions or scar tissue. Think of a window or drawer that is stuck. The end result is stiff, tight tissue that does not move well causing pain and difficulty moving. With MFD, we utilize negative pressure cups to lift the adhered tissues, stretch the scar tissue and allowing return of normal fluid flow. Where MDF differs from regular cupping is it is utilized on Myofascial planes and Trigger Point patterns with patients per-forming movements such as stretches or ex-ercises to maximize its benefits. This allows the fascial system to stretch more and relearn what normal should be. Then healing can take place. This process can be very effective at helping people recover from injury as the professional athletes have been finding out. It can also be helpful at loosening tight muscles and restoring normal movement. Matt one of our team members was able to regain full range of shoulder motion, which he lost after dislocating it 5 years ago. Hazleton Physical Therapy is now Fyzi-cal Therapy and Balance Centers, and we are always looking out for new and innova-tive ways to help our clients feel better, have less pain and recover from injuries.

With the advent of Summer, a most carefree, relaxing attitude encompasses all of us especially after having had a most harsh, never-ending Winter season. It would seem that a visit to your dentist falls far down on your summertime “to do” list when, in reality, it should be a priority for a variety of reasons. Statistically, summertime foods and beverages contain more sugars and acids when compared to others consumed throughout the rest of the year. Beverages such as sweetened ice tea, lem-onade, sodas, sports drinks, beer, wine, and sum-mer cocktails are all sugar (primarily sucrose)-laden and acidic which will effectively erode and weaken your teeth rendering them sensitive in the future. Effectively rinsing with water after-wards will reduce the chance of damaging effects. Brushing your teeth afterwards is also effective, however, wait at least one hour to do so as you may cause tooth damage due to increased tooth porosity resulting from acids and sugars. Alco-holic and caffeinated drinks have been linked to dry-mouth so routine hydration with water will prevent this from occurring as well as washing away harmful bacteria, sugars, and acids in the process. Summertime foods such as salad dressings, BBQ sauces, fruits such as apples, hard candies, fibrous meats which lodge between teeth, slush-ies, ice cream, shakes all contribute to sugar and acid increases as well. Sticky foods adhere to teeth for a prolonged period allowing for acid and sugar increases while other foods such as popcorn and fibrous foods effectively lodge be-tween teeth and are hard to remove. Prolonged exposure to red wine, sugary BBQ sauces, sugary

deserts and candies will also stain your teeth leav-ing them dull and discolored. Again, I cannot stress enough rinsing with water to reduce acid/sugar exposure and concentration.Skin cancer occurrence also increases during the summer as does oral cancer. This may come as a surprise yet it is true. To reduce your chances or oral cancer, it is important to prevent damaging UV rays from harming your lips along with the rest of your body. I recommend a lip balm with sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. Enjoy the backyard and beach, but don’t forget to reapply regularly. With Summertime comes a Summertime sport such as baseball, volleyball, cycling, and water sports. Enjoy them all exercising safety as well as using a professionally-constructed mouth-guard. You will look far less attractive with a set of broken and/or missing teeth when compared to a professional mouthguard. Swimming, by far, is the most popular Sum-mertime sport. Few realize that antimicrobial agents in pool water will cause a brownish stain on one’s teeth after prolonged exposure according to the Academy of General Dentistry. “Swim-mer’s Mouth” results from elevated PH levels in pool water which causes decreased salivary pro-teins leading to brown stains on the teeth. Luck-ily, this staining is readily removed with a pro-fessional dental cleaning. If a pool’s PH is more acidic, it can soften tooth enamel making it more susceptible to decay. Avid or professional swim-mers should prevent it by way of more frequent dental cleanings and fluoride applications. In conclusion, after the cold, dark and depress-ing days of Winter, I think I speak for everyone

when I say that we all deserve a much-needed Summer and welcome it with open arms. Make the most of it and enjoy it to its maximum potential. Do your-self a favor and make visiting the dentist for your-self and your family further up the priority list. As a result, you and your loved ones will have a dental problem and pain free Summertime! I invite you to contact my office at 570-443-9892 to schedule a convenient appointment for yourself to enjoy Summer to its maximum po-tential.

Water is one of nature’s most important gifts, and it also plays an important role in physical therapy. When physical therapy involves per-forming exercises in the water, it is called aquatic therapy. It is performed by a trained and licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant utilizing a specially designed pool. Many people have questions about aquatic therapy. The fol-lowing are answers to some of the most com-monly asked questions.

Why does aquatic therapy work? Aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water to assist in healing and exercise perfor-mance. First, the buoyancy of the water provides

support to the body and takes pressure off joints caused by diagnoses like arthritis. The support provided by the water also decreases the fear of falling and can aid in building strength and mo-bility to decrease the occurrence of falls. As one patient stated: “After I broke my hip, I wouldn’t walk because I was afraid of falling again. When I went in the pool, I gained confidence to walk again, and I am now leading a normal life.” Additionally, the water naturally provides pressure to the body. This hydrostatic pressure blankets your skin causing an increase in blood flow throughout your body. Increased circula-tion in the body helps to reduce swelling in the

feet and legs. Also, the viscosity of water provides an excel-lent source of resistance to help build strength in injured areas with little or no impact to the injury site, and the therapeutic temperature of the water promotes muscle relaxation, increases flexibility, and decreases pain.Where can I go for aquatic therapy?

YOU, as a consumer have the right to choose any therapy clinic; however, you must select a provider who has an indoor therapy pool at their facility. Pro Rehabilitation Services in the Valmont Industrial Park has the largest, heated therapy pool in the Hazleton area. Our cus-tom designed therapy pool offers multilevel depths from three to seven feet that can be ac-cessed via wide steps with handrails or a chair lift. This makes it easily accessible for anyone to try aquatic therapy. The therapeutic temperature of the water is maintained at 89 – 92 degrees to accommodate patient comfort and improve functional outcomes. The locker rooms are well equipped for all your needs, including lockers; private rooms and seated and standing showers; and, of course, they are wheelchair-accessible. The therapy pool at Pro Rehabilitation Services provides a safe environment to enable a person to increase morale and confidence and live each day to one’s fullest potential.

(NAPSA)-While more than two in three American adults are overweight or obese, there are things you can do to reduce your chances of struggling with your weight. To start, try to consume healthier foods and beverages and get more physical activity. Do-ing so may lower your chances of developing diabetes, high blood pressure or other serious health problems. New health habits may also help you look better, feel more energetic and even be a role model. The Weight-control Information Network (WIN) offers more tips to consider. Accord-ing to WIN, a national information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Diges-tive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health: • One day each week, make healthy meals that you can freeze and eat later when you don't have time to cook.• Fit in physical activity whenever you can. Take the stairs if there are a reasonable num-ber to climb. Get off the train or bus a stop early, as long as it's safe and your schedule al-lows.• Buy healthful foods in bulk, and choose fro-zen or canned fruits and vegetables.• Start a walking group. Walk in places that don't cost money, such as a school track or park.• Recruit others to be active with you. That may help you stay interested and be safe.• Think about your most important reasons for being healthy. Do you want to be there for your family? Would you like to be able to do the things you love without feeling tired or out of breath? For more information, call WIN at (877) 946-4627, visit www.win.niddk.nih.gov or "like" WIN on Facebook at www.facebook.com/win.niddk.nih.gov.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) or TMJ, as it is commonly known are a significant public health problem affecting approximately 5% to 12% of the population. TMD is the sec-ond most common musculoskeletal condition (after chronic low back pain) resulting in pain and disability. The main symptoms of TMD are pain and trismus. Trismus refers to reduced opening of the jaws caused by spasm of the muscles of mastication (chewing), or may generally refer to all causes of limited mouth opening. Spasm in our chewing muscles (masseter, pterygoids, and temporalis) and may interfere with eat-

ing, speech, oral hygiene, yawning, kissing, and could alter facial appearance.Temporary trismus is common after oral sur-gery procedures, such as in the extraction of lower molar teeth, as a result either of inflam-mation to the muscles of mastication or direct trauma to the TMJ. Treatment in this acute phase may include heat or cold application, a soft diet, and muscle relaxants, if necessary. When acute phase is over the patient should be advised to initiate physiotherapy for opening and closing mouth. Normal mouth opening ranges from 35 to 45 mm.[3] Males usually have slightly greater mouth opening than females. Recent studies have confirmed the physical therapy exercise regiments have reduced tris-mus, improved mouth opening, and restored mandibular function. A recent article in the

Journal of Dentistry, Oral Disorders & Therapyconfirms that mouth-opening exercises can significantly improve maximum mouth opening, and rec-ommends that such less evasive treatment should be primary. TMJ pain may be obvious, causing clicks and pops in the joint, difficulty opening the mouth, and pain over the joint. The jaw joint can cause what appear to be eye and ear prob-lems, facial pain, migraine headache, toothache, neck pain and many others. This is no simple problem. TMJexercises will help, but choos-ing the right exercises and making the correct diagnosis requires the work of a professional. This professional help is available at Physical Therapy Specialists any of our convenient lo-cations Conygnham 708-2015 and Hazleton 459-5787 and Hometown 668-1889.

Talk to your physician to �nd out moreabout LipiFlow today.

Dry, red, itchy, sandy, scratchy, and gritty - Dry Eye Disease has been described in many different ways. It can cause your vision to be blurry, your eyes to burn and water, and can make you feel just miserable. This chronic condition is known to affect nearly 100 mil-lion people worldwide. To properly treat Dry Eye Disease, the exact cause needs to be determined. An op-tometrist can perform a number of tests to diagnose if your irritated eyes are from aller-gies, decreased tear production, Meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation, or from a combination of reasons. A tear break up time shows how quickly the tear film evapo-rates. A Meibomian gland evaluator assesses if the glands are functioning properly. The LipiView interferometer captures detailed images of the tear film. An osmolarity test evaluates the integrity of the tear film. And a Schirmer’s test measures the quantity of tear production. Once the dry eye cause has been deter-mined, treatment can begin. The doctor will choose the appropriate therapy based on your

testing results. Restasis is a prescription eye drop used to increase tear production. Arti-ficial tears decrease irritation. Steroids may be used to diminish inflammation. There are also mast cell stabilizers and/or antihistamines to suppress allergic eye conditions. Omega 3 supplements in their natural triglyceride form are not only anti-inflammatory, but help to thin out the blocked lipids.Specifically, for the evaporative form of Dry Eye Disease which affects nearly 86% of pa-tients, there is now the LipiFlow procedure. LipiFlow is a 12 minute, painless in-office treatment used to unblock the Meibomian glands and enable them to resume their natu-ral production of lipids. This decreases lid inflammation and allows for a healthier tear film. While in the examination room, both eyes may be treated simultaneously. A disposable eye piece is used to apply controlled heat to the inner eyelid while intermittent gentle pressure is applied to the outer eyelid. The relaxing massaging motion facilitates the re-lease of lipids from the blocked Meibomian

glands. Once completed, the patient is free to go about their daily routine. Some initial extra dry-ness may be noted, but soon fades away. The doctor will then set up a post-treatment care regimen and follow-up appointments based on the severity of the dry eye condition. Hazleton Eye Specialists is the first prac-tice in NEPA to office this new breakthrough treatment for Dry Eye Disease. For more in-formation on LipiFlow or to schedule a con-sultation, please call 570-453-2020 or visit the website at www.drkislan.com.

Kinesiology tape is a thin, stretchy, elastic cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive. Thera-peutic kinesiology tape can benefit a wide va-riety of musculoskeletal and sports injuries, plus inflammatory conditions. Kinesiology tape is almost identical to human skin in both thickness and elasticity, which allows kinesio-tape to be worn without binding, constricting or restriction of your movement. The Kinesotaping method is a rehabili-tative taping technique that is intended to facilitate the body’s natural healing process. This method provides support and stability to muscles and joints without limiting range of motion throughout the body. The tape also acts to provide extended soft tissue ma-nipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical set-ting. Since the tape is Latex-free and wearable

for days at a time, it is safe for populations ranging from pediatric to geriatric, and suc-cessfully treats a variety of orthopedic, neu-romuscular, neurological and other medical conditions. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, kinesotape alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drain-age by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect creates more interstitial space and allows for a decrease in inflammation of the affected areas. Kinesiotape can be applied in hundreds of ways and has the ability to re-educate the neuromuscular system, reduce pain and in-flammation, enhance performance, prevent injury and promote good circulation and healing, and assist in returning the body to homeostasis. Kinesiology tape has a compre-hensive array of therapeutic benefits. Because

it can be left on for up to 5 days, these therapeutic ben-efits are available to the injured area 24 hours a day, significantly accelerating the healing process from trauma, injuries and inflamma-tory conditions. Here at Modern Therapeutics both An-thony Urillo and Francis Harmonosky are certified in the Kinesotaping Method. Kineo-taping has been used to enhance athletic per-formance. The science and research behind kinesotaping is well documented and many professional athletes ranging in a variety of different sports utilize this technique to im-prove their game. Also, Kinesotaping is not simply for the high level athlete but also for the everyday person with aches and pain. If you want to improve your function and de-crease pain or take your athletic abilities to the next level please contact Modern Thera-peutics to set up personalized evaluation in taping at 570-453-0252.

Five Days To AFitter, Healthier You

(Family Features) If kicking off a life-chang-ing fitness and nutrition program seems daunt-ing, try taking smaller steps to make it feel more manageable. Begin by charting out a week-long plan that will make you more conscious of how you ap-proach important elements of your program in-cluding muscle toning, cardio and making nu-tritious food choices. Here's a five-day schedule to get you started: • Monday: Start the Week Strong - Kick off the week with a medicine ball workout, which is a great way to work various muscles all at once. Try using a medicine ball with exercises that you're already familiar with, such as push-ups, lunges or squats, or look up demo videos online to learn some new ways to use the medicine ball. • Tuesday: Turn it Up - Running is a great form of exercise, but it's important to mix up your cardio workouts to help prevent injury and be-come stronger overall. Grab your friends and try a cardio-focused class, such as Zumba. • Wednesday: Spruce Up Your Fruit - Working out is key to keeping fit, but so is maintaining a healthy diet. When shopping for snacks, make smart choices that taste delicious, such as Dole Fruit in Jars, which provide five servings of all natural, fresh fruit. Try pairing with Daisy Cot-tage Cheese to spruce up your fruit for a tasty parfait. • Thursday: Multi-task - Just because you're catching up on your favorite TV show doesn't mean you can't work out. Clear some space be-tween the couch and TV so you can watch while you do push-ups, crunches, jumping jacks and squats. For extra motivation, leave your fitness tools near the television as a daily reminder. • Friday: Give Yourself a Star - Gold stars aren't just for classrooms. At the end of the week, mark each day that you exercised with a star on your calendar. Whether you went for a run, hit the gym or went for a walk with friends, the calendar will be a visual reminder of how often you've been working out, and will encourage you to keep going. Remember, setting a long-term goal, such as running a marathon or dropping two dress sizes, can help keep you motivated over time, but also remember to celebrate your first mile run or your first five-pound loss. Keep tackling your new program one week at a time, and your goals will easily become reality. Visit www.dole.com for additional snacking ideas to get you on your way to a healthier you.

Weight Loss Tips For Real Life

Family Features) Chances are you've been down the weight loss road be-fore. And chances are just as good that you've gained

it all back. But don't despair; there are ways to avoid the dreaded yo-yo. Harley Pasternak, best-selling author and the go-to trainer for A-list stars, answers some common questions about how to lose weight - and the tools need-ed to keep it off. Q: What's the biggest mistake people make when it comes to weight loss? A: Too many people set unrealistic expecta-tions from the start. Extreme diets don't work. You can't sustain that kind of depri-vation over the long haul, and you're setting yourself up for failure. For sustained weight loss, you need a diet and exercise plan that you can maintain. It starts with setting real-istic goals. Check with your doctor first, but for most people, losing one to two pounds a

week makes sense. Q: How should I get started and pick the right plan? A: Instead of starving yourself or risking in-jury by over-exercising, focus on being active throughout the day. Park your car farther away from your destination, take the stairs, make social plans walking distance from home or work; every step adds up. When deciding on a diet plan, do your research. I believe in Shaklee 180 because it is consistent with what I've been teaching my clients for years and is incredibly convenient for those of us with busy lifestyles. Q: How can I eat healthy when I'm so busy I don't have time to cook?A: Planning ahead is a must if you're going to avoid temptation. Spend some time on Sunday evening preparing simple, healthy meals for the week. Keep staple ingredients like fruits, veggies, Greek yogurt, beans and whole grains like oats and quinoa at home at all times.Q: What tips or tools I should use to keep

myself on-track and motivated?A: I'm a big fan of using technology to stay fit. I like mobile apps, which help track calories and exercise. They take the guesswork out of losing - and make it more fun because you can get instant support. One of my new favorites is the Shaklee180 app, which includes meal trackers, recipes, workouts, nutrition info and inspirational tips from health and fitness ex-perts. The other cool thing is when you use the Shaklee app to track your progress you get the chance to win weekly prizes. You can learn more about it at www.shaklee180.com. Q: I hate to exercise, and gyms are too ex-pensive. What can I do?A: You don't need to spend hours a day in the gym to improve your waistline or your health. As little as 5 minutes a day of resistance train-ing can help strengthen your body. The key is consistency and making sure you're physi-cally active throughout the course of the day. I always advise my clients to use a pedometer (a small device that counts your steps) and try to hit 10,000 steps each day.

Bumper Crop ofBlueberries in 2014

Stemmrich B l u e b e r r y Farm is open

for the 2014 season of blueberry picking. Locally

owned and operated by Charlie Stemmrich the

farm is now entering into its 16th season with over 2,500

blueberry bushes in its main field. With a brand new field planted and ready for pick-ing in July, Stemmrich continues to grow and provide a quality product for people of all ages to pick your own. Most nutritionists consider blueberries a super food! The reason? Blueberries have consistently been recognized as the fruit with the highest antioxidant activity. These tasty berries offer twice as many health-giving antioxidants as spinach, more than

three times as many as oranges, red grapes and cherries and more than four times as many as grapefruit, white grapes, bananas and apples. Blueberries are rich in Vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene as well as rich in the minerals potassium, manganese, magne-sium. They are very high in fiber and low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. Stemmrich not only offers multiple va-rieties of blueberries, but also provides a beautiful backdrop in a scenic setting that is perfect for the entire family. Come visit Stemrich Blueberry Farm located at 71 East Cherry Road, Nescopeck Pa. The farm is lo-cated in Nescopeck Township about 1 mile north of Amish Pantry, ½ mile off Route 93. Call 570-379-2908 for times and dates.

When the Schuylkill County Fair opens on Monday July 28 and runs through August 2, people will notice the new amusement ride company. Goodtime Amusements, LLC of Hellertown, PA will be the new mid-way amusement ride company. Goodtime Amusements was established in 1986. They are a family run business, which provides amusement services to various non-profit or-ganizations. Operating solely in the eastern portion of Pennsylvania, Goodtime provides their sponsors with up to 20 rides along with food and game concessions. This will be the initial year that Good-time will be providing their services for the Schuylkill County Fair. They also provide amusements for the Schnecksville Fair, Oley Valley Fair, West End Fair and Carbon Coun-ty Fair.

Goodtime offers their patrons modern, well-maintained equipment staffed by cour-teous, well-groomed uniformed employees. They take pride in bringing the meaning of good times to your event. A New Kiddie ride Zamperla Mini Jet has been purchased for the 2014 fair sea-son. Goodtime is presently involved with the rehab of the Bumble Bee and Merry-Go round Rides and they will be completed for the beginning of the season. Hampton, Para-trooper, Bear Affair, Spinner, Train, Dragon Wagon, Teacups Bumble Bees, Yo Yo Swings, Starship, Sizzler, Loop O Plane, Tilt A Whirl, Castle Mania, Super Slide, Boats, and Carou-sel are some of the rides provided by Good-time Amusement out of Hellertown, PA to be found at this year’s Schuylkill County Fair. Rides at the Schuylkill County Fair have always been broken down into three age groups. Adult, youth, and kiddy rides are the groupings. A minimum of 5 rides per age group will be found on the grassy meadow at the fairgrounds. Goodtime amusements have promised more rides as the space can accom-modate more of their equipment. Rides aren’t the only fun on the midway. Goodtime Amusements feature games where the game operator is having just as much fun as the customer. Fifteen game and concession trailers will be available for all to have a good time. Goodtime operators aren’t in it to win; instead they want fairgoers to have fun. Can’t wait to find out what is going on at the Schuylkill County Fair where you can “Treasure the Memories of Our Past?” Then visit the fair’s web site at www.schuylkillfair.com, like us of Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.

Eckley Miners’ Village: Where TheWorld War II Era Comes To Life

by Kristen Bogash, eckley miners' village Summer events Coordinator When strolling down the Main Street in Eckley Miners’ Village, it’s an experience like no other—a village frozen in time, untouched by modern in-fluence, but golly gee wilikers! Eckley is stepping back in time to the World War II era in July! On Saturday and Sunday, July 26th and 27th, the 1940s will take over the Eckley village. The Eckley Miners’ Village Associ-ates are proud to host the annual 1940s Weekend event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. World War II soldiers will take up camp throughout the village, displaying their weaponry, military vehicles, historical dis-plays and even horses, for visitors to see. The Eckley Stitchers will have demonstrations of sewing throughout the weekend, while Eckley volunteers will showcase the life of local patch town civilians and their aid in the war efforts. The Eckley Players will perform throughout the weekend, including a special 1940s radio broadcast throughout the village—“Eckley Hour” – thanks to a partnership with local radio station WAZL. Those in attendance will see famous acts including the beloved “Who’s on First” of Abbott and Castello, and the always-entertaining performances of the Andrews Sisters, as portrayed by the talented Vinatieri sisters of Hazleton. On Saturday, Eckley will host an antique car, truck, and motorcycle show. Anyone in-terested in showing a vehicle of the 50s, 40s, and earlier, is asked to register by calling the museum at (570) 636-2070 and arrive at the event by 11 a.m. Judging will be at 2 p.m. and the winners will be announced at 3 p.m.

Dash plaques and trophies will be awarded. Antique vehicle owners will receive free admis-sion for themselves and one guest. On Sunday of the event, join Reverend John Uhler, chaplain of the 45th Infantry Division re-enactment unit, for a wartime morning church service, which will take place in Eckley’s Irish Catholic Immacu-

late Conception Church at 11 a.m. Eckley is proud to an-nounce for the second year in a row, 92-year-old Holocaust survivor Sev-erin Fayerman of Read-ing, Pa. will be present for the weekend’s festivi-ties. Fayerman will show a documentary about his

time spent in concentration camps during the Second World War, which included Aus-chwitz and Buchenwald. Those in attendance can purchase a copy of his book “A Survivor’s Story” and have it signed. Eckley is also excited to host a lecture by author Gail Furford of Gettysburg, Pa. Furford’s book, “Letters Home WWII- Ser-geant Martin A. Paulson,” is based on 88 let-ters Paulson, now 94 years of age, wrote to his sister during the WWII era. The letters were thoroughly researched by Furford, fol-lowing Paulson’s military journey from Army Private to Sergeant, as well as WWII history from 1943-1946. In addition to Paulson’s story, Furford will share the remarkable, and currently unraveling, story of the Japanese or-

phan who was found in the foxholes during wartime, and is pictured with Paulson gracing the cover of the book. 1940s Weekend admission: $10 for adults (13-64), $9 for seniors (65+), and $6 for chil-dren (6-12). The Gift Shop will be open for the event. The Big Band era really comes to life at night though! On the evening of the 26th, the public is invited to bring their dancing shoes and cut a rug at Eckley’s third annual 1940s Swing Dance fundraiser. Boogie woo-gie to the sounds of the swingin’ 40s, as the Hazleton Philharmonic Big Band Sound provides the entertainment from 6 to 9 p.m. There will also be a special performance by the Andrews sisters. Admission to the dance is $10 regular and $8 for attendees who don 1940s era attire or uniform. The Eckley As-sociates will be serving concessions for the evening. Eckley is located just off of Route 940 in Luzerne County, 10 miles east of downtown Hazleton. For additional information or to learn about how to get involved for the event, call the museum at (570) 636-2070, or visit www.eckleyminersvillagemuseum.com. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Com-mission administers Eckley Miners’ Village with active support from the Eckley Miners’ Village Associates.

Summer’s here and the Patio’s open...

The Greater Hazleton Concert Series is proud

to announce its 79th concert season. This non-profit, community based organization continues to offer top quality, professional, entertainment at reasonable prices. The 2014-2015 season will feature seven exciting, professional concerts for just $100! That is just $14.28 per concert! The season will begin Thursday, Septem-ber 18, 2014 with ABBA FAB, a stunning tribute to the music of ABBA. This multi-media production is a tribute to some of the greatest music produced in the 1970’s and 1980’s including monster hits such as Wa-terloo, Fernando, Honey Honey, Dancing Queen and countless others. From the earli-est hits to Mamma Mia, ABBA FAB will take you on an ABBA journey that is unmatched. Wednesday, October 15, 2014 the sea-son continues with The Manhattan Rhythm Kings. Known for their polished performanc-es of American popular music from the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, the Manhattan Rhythm Kings have gained a large enthusiastic following. While frequently compared with the Mills Brothers and Paul Whiteman’s Rhythm Boys, the trio established a unique character of its own with a combination of close harmony singing, virtuosic instrumental work and spectacular tap dancing. On Thursday, October 30, 2014. The Concert Series will present The Accordion Virtuosi of Russia. This unique ensemble thrills audiences around the globe with a di-verse repertoire ranging from folk music to arrangements of rock songs. Since its incep-tion, the Accordion Virtuosi of Russia has been led by three generations of the Smirnov family: founder, Pavel Smirnov, and now by his sons Yuri and Vladimir, as well as his grandson, Yaroslav. A very special holiday concert, “A Vien-nese Christmas,” will be offered on Tuesday, December 2, 2014. The Hollywood Concert Orchestra, an ensemble of America's finest musicians, has become one of the premier en-sembles in the world. The "Viennese Christ-mas" program was conceived in late 1990s as a tribute to the annual Gala performed in Vienna each New Years Eve. This program is a great combination of the famous Holiday tunes and the Viennese music that we all love. The 2015 portion of the season will open with the Bronx Wanderers on Tuesday, Feb-

ruary 24, 2015. One Part “Oldies”, Two Parts “Rock

N’ Roll”… THE BRONX WANDER-ERS are the ”perfect musical storm”, effort-lessly creating the perfect level of synergy be-tween generations and the music, the family and the rockin’ band that pulls it all together. United by their passion for great music, for-mer gold record producer YO’ VINNY and sons VINNY “THE KID” and NICKY “STIX” form this pitch perfect band that de-livers a non-stop barrage of hit after hit after delicious hit. One family, one dream, The ul-timate soundtrack of Rock N Roll. The Jive Aces will take the stage with “Swingtime” on Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Direct from London, THE JIVE ACES are internationally renowned for their superior musicianship and spectacular stage show and their energetic renditions of Swing/Jive/R&B classics -by such greats as Louis Prima, Cab Calloway, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. The Tinseltown Jitterbugs, representing six Swing Dancers, will join The Jive Aces on stage.

The season will close on Thursday, April 23, 2015 with The Rodney Mack Philadel-phia Big Brass. This ensemble is composed of some of America's top brass musicians dedi-cated to bringing the joyous experience of great music to a wide range of audiences. A group that always reflects the diverse makeup of men and women in the American culture, RMPBB is dedicated to the notion that music is a gift to be enjoyed by everyone. A Concert Series subscription provides ad-mission to seven great performances at a cost of $100 for adults, $50 for students, and $225 for family subscriptions. All concerts begin at 7:30 PM at the Hazleton High School Audi-torium (1601 W. 23rd Street, Hazleton, PA) where convenient, lighted parking is free, and the drive is short.

Many die hard polka fans are familiar with the name--Richie Tokarz. Richie was the ultimate polka musi-cian and vocalist. He died this past April at the age of 65. Richie was born in Whiting, Indiana and was the oldest of two sons. His younger broth-er, Jerry, is also a polka musician. Through the years, Richie Tokarz displayed his talents playing the accordion, the trumpet and singing with the nation's top polka bands. Because of his musical abilities, he became as well known as many of the band leaders he played for.

He started performing with polka bands in 1965. And, from that point on, Richie proved to be a dynamic sideman. He traveled the na-tional circuit with bands such as The Pala Broth-ers, Little Richard's All Stars, Marion Lush, Ed-

This is yet another super CD by IPA Hall of Famer, Lenny Gomulka. It's a real winner with great songs. Some of my favorites are "Rose Colored Glasses", Lenny's tribute to polka great, Eddie Blazonczyk. I also like "Ra Ta Ta". This is a song composed by Lenny's son, Teddy. It starts and ends with Teddy hum-ming the melody. As always, there is some great musicianship on this one. Other nice tunes include "A Toast to a Very Special Couple", "Mackenzie's Oberek", "All My Friends are Gettin' Old", and "Now and Forever." You can order your copy by calling 413-374-7096. You can also send an e-mail to [email protected].

die Blazonczyk's Versatones and, most recently, Lenny Gomulka & Chicago Push. During his career, Richie Tokarz was the re-cipient of numerous awards which recognized his talents as a musician and song writer. Over the years, Richie composed over 40 polkas, waltzes, and obereks. He also recorded over 25 albums. One of his memorable recordings was "Adults Only". He made this album while playing with the Marion Lush band. He did the lead vocals on this release. One of Richie's most popular songs was "Stella At The Wheel". Many of today's polka bands still include this song in their perfor-mances. Richie also wrote such tunes as "It's A Mistake", "Just Married", "Glass of Love", and "Wrong Number." As many polka fans know, Richie Tokarz was known to have a great, outgoing personal-ity. This, of course, brought him many friends throughout the USA and Canada. In addition to his party-like persona, Richie was known for his accordion expertise and his natural blend as a backup and lead singer. Making polka music professional and creating new, original ideas were key elements contributing to this side-man's popularity. Richie's dedication to polka music earned him a seat in the International Polka Music Hall of Fame where he was inducted by his peers in Au-gust, 2000. Rich Tokarz was a current member of Lenny Gomulka & Chicago Push. His last perfor-

mance on stage was at the Oglebay Resort Festi-val in Wheeling, West Virginia just three weeks prior to his death on April 22, 2014. Rich's excellent accordion work can be heard on the latest CD by Lenny Gomulka & Chi-cago Push--"Save the Music." In closing, be sure to catch The Polskie

In the Kitchenwith Joan Barbush

Here we are….July again and summer is in full swing. The gardens are planted and growing well due to the abundant sunshine and rain. The flow-ers are beautiful no matter where you look. The children are getting ready for their full month of being out of school and enjoying all the things that kids love, from outdoor sports, to swimming, vacationing and just simply enjoying life. The holiday that pulls all Americans together with the wonderful story of the In-dependence of our nation from England, gives us the opportunity to enjoy some quality time with our families and friends and honoring our great nation and those who built it, defended it and died for it. Here are a few recipes that you can add to your summer picnics this year, or to take to a friend’s home for a nice dinner.

Strike Up The Band! Part 3

Shown at left from left to right: receiving the George p. Schwartz awards: profes-sor livingston, Guest Soloist, michael Ward hhS, lynda anthony fhS, Janette tough WhhS and Joseph Buglio, haSD Supervisor of music.

Professor Ed. A. Livingston arrived in Hazle-ton in 1977 with his beautiful shiny tuba. He also traveled with his other prized possession, his big tuba. When I say big, I mean really big. This tuba was six feet tall and weighted 165 pounds. WOW! It was built in Germany in 1898 by the Sanders Company for the band master himself, John Phillip Sousa! I’d love to know the story of how Professor Livingston came to own this tuba. Now, this was not the instrument that came to be known as the Sousaphone, in honor of John Phillip Sousa. The Sousaphone, built by the Sel-mer Music Company of Germany, was designed as a marching instrument. One could hardly march up and down the street with a 165 pound tuba. Two of Professor Livington’s students from the Fort Meade Band accompanied him with their Sousaphones. They joined with the Tri High Band for several selections. Professor Livingston came to town as guest soloist for the Eleventh Annual Hazleton Area School District Band Festival presented on March 10, 1977 at eight P.M. in the Hazleton High School Auditorium. In reading Professor Livingston’s resume, I was impressed by the fact that at the very beginning of his career, at 17 years of age in 1952, he hitch hiked from his home in Grand Rapids, Michi-gan, some eight hundred miles, to New York City, to play for the legendary tuba player, Bill Bell. (Love his name.) A young man could not do that today, at least not safely, in my opinion. Later he joined the U.S. Army Band in Wash-ington, D.C. as a featured tuba player. Through-out his career he played all over the world with many world famous bands and orchestras. During his three day stay with our young musicians, Professor presented tuba clinics for

both the musicians and the band directors. Band directors for 1977 were: John Zehner, DAH, Terry Swope, GJH, Elsie Hochella, HHS, James Hardy, WHHS, Robert Brubaker, RGJHS, Jo-seph Rosato, FHS-FI. What a unique and valu-able learning experience this was for them. For the Tri Hi Festival performance, Professor Liv-ingston chose ‘Tubby the Tuba’ for the Junior High Band; and for the Senior High Band, he chose ‘A Touch of Tuba’, as featured selections. Mark Reisenweaver, Grebey Junior High, was featured on the tuba, while Kevin Gould, West Hazleton High School, was featured on the tuba for the Senior High Hand Concert. I’m sure that many of you remember, or seem to feel that there is something familiar about Tubby the Tuba. You are right. There is. In 1941, one week after Pearl Harbor was attacked Paul Tripp and George Kleinsinger’s first musical piece was presented. When they were thanking the musi-cians, the tuba player said to them. “You know, Tubas can sing, too.” This remark inspired Paul to write the story of Tubby the Tuba that very night. Later, Paul and George wrote the music, but it was not until the end of WW II that their work was presented. It became an instant hit. As they say, the rest is history. Mr. Joseph Buglio, Supervisor of Music, for the Hazleton Area School District, presented the annual George P. Schwartz Memorial Awards to Michael Ward, Cornet I, HHS, Lynda Anthony, Flute I, FHS, and Jeanette Tough, Alto Cornet, WHHS. Mr. Robert Shanno of the Hazleton High School faculty returned as Master of Ceremony. Thinking about young musicians of today, I re-membered that one of the finalists on this cur-rent 2014 season of American Idol, Malaya Wat-

son, in addition to being a magnificent vocalist, was a tuba player in her high school’s marching band. I bet that playing the tuba helped her in her breath control as a vocalist. Dr Burton E. Hardin, Professor of French Horn at Eastern Illinois University was to appear as guest soloist with the Tri Hi Band in 1978, but had to unexpectedly bow out. Warren Cov-ington, the famous trombonist, graciously filled in for Dr. Hardin. Mr. Covington had appeared previously with the Tri Hi Band Festival in 1970 and 1976. He arrived the morning of the con-cert and was able to rehearse with the band for a few hours. The members of the Hazleton Area School District and Mr. Joseph Buglio were in-deed grateful to Mr. Covington for his appear-ance on such short notice. The concert went on without any problems. Our young musicians were superb. Of course, so was Warren Coving-ton. The band directors for the year 1979’s fes-tival were: Elsie Hochella HHS, James Hardy WHHS, Joseph Rosato FHS, Terry Swope and Robert Heeter Grebey JHS, John Zehner Har-man JHS, Robert Brubaker Rock Glen JHS. The Schwartz Awards went to Sandra Wal-ton HHS tuba, Beth Schmauch WHHS Flute II and Drum Major, and Frank Balon FHS 1st trumpet. We round out the 1970’s with the appear-ance of Anton Kuskin, Flute Soloist, as guest artist in 1979. Mr. Kuskin wrote the script for

professor ed. a. livingston with his world’s largest, 1898 tuba built for John phillip Sousa.


twenty four film strips on Music Theory called ‘The Foundation of Musical Theory.’ He pre-sented several clinics to the band directors and the young musicians during his stay with Tri Hi. Six seniors received the Schwartz Award this year – Elizabeth Valentine HHS oboe, Beth Kahley WHHS Flute, Joseph Chuckra FHS Cornet I, Rachel Welsh WHHS Clarinet III, Kathy Seary HHS Flute & Piccolo, and Thelma Cartwright FHS Alto Chorus. This was the year, 1979, that an entirely new instrument was added to the Festival, ‘Voice’. Yes, your voice is an instrument. Some of you may even recall some big band soloists who used their voices to sound out the notes. Also, some of you may remember the song many of us sang at summer camp. The Orchestra, I think was the title. “The clarinet, the clarinet, goes doodle, doodle, doodle dett” and so on through the whole orchestra. Maybe not quite the same thing, but you get the idea, I’m sure. The chorus was directed by Raymond Smith HHS, Mrs. Margaret Thompson, WHHS and Mrs. Mary Ann Rashko FHS. The band re-hearsed in the band room, which was located where the former vo-tech classes were held. At the same time, the chorus rehearsed on the stage in the auditorium. The sixty-one members of the first Tri Hi Chorus were: Sopranos: Mary Beth Ackerman WHHS, Sharon Andeare HHS, June Bachi-son FHS, Sandy Breznitsky FHS, Charlene Budgeon WHHS, Donna DeMauro WHHS, Helen Dzuranin HHS, Portia Ervin WHHS, Dorothy Gilbert HHS, Brenda Houser WHHS, Sandy Humenick HHS, Jane Jevit HHS, Judy Lally HHS, Dawn Mace WHHS, Karen Pan-cheri HHS, Kathleen Parrell HHS, Carolyn Phillips HHS, Lori Repetz FHS, Michele Smut-ney HHS, Cindy Snyder FHS, Mary Ruth Steward WHHS, Linda Yacubek FHS, Nancy

Yancus FHS. Altos: Thelma Cartwright FHS, Dolores Chippi FHS, Michele Ferko FHS, Gail Fudge HHS, Cindy Heckrote HHS, Isabel Hellings HHS, Beth Kahley WHHS, Pam Mazzi HHS, Lynn Mehalick WHHS, Diane Moyer WHHS, Mary Postupack HHS, Jean Preputnick HHS, JoAnn Rooney WHHS, Charlene Schieb WHHS, Kathy Seery HHS, Lori Starr HHS, Susan Telatovich FHS, Sophia Viechec FHS, Rachael Welsh WHHS. Tenors: Jim Kobrick HHS, Ed Korengo HHS, Gary Molinaro HHS, Jack Palaggi HHS, Greg-ory Puhak WHHS, Francis Reznick HHS, John Shipley WHHS. Bass: Mike Arlotto HHS, Al Chupela HHS,

Larry DeBello HHS, Jack Ferdinand HHS, Jef-frey Grant WHHS, Vince Hebel HHS, Tom Pleban HHS, Clyde Rhodes WHHS, William Warg WHHS, Jon Weaver WHHS. The chorus presented six numbers. Among the selections were ‘Choral Flourish’ by Vaughn Williams and Leonard Bernstein’s ‘Best of all Possible Worlds.’ The Tri Hi Band and Chorus presented a magnificent finale to close the pro-gram. Next month we will continue our musical journey through the 1980’s. Thanks to those of our readers who have told me how much you are enjoying these musical memories. As always, I appreciate hearing from you. You can reach me at [email protected].

Fleas returned in April, and have been get-ting progressively worse for the last 3 months. Late September and October are traditionally the worst months for fleas, so be ready! Don't even get me started on ticks and Lyme dis-ease. Roughly one in five dogs is testing posi-tive for Lyme Disease. Contrary to popular belief, adult fleas do not live on your pets 100% of the time. Only between 20% and 50% of the adult fleas in the environment are on animals. The rest are hopping around in the environment (i.e. your warm, cozy house). To make matters even worse, each adult flea lays up to 100 flea eggs. If you use a shampoo to kill 100% of the adult fleas on your pets and a spray to kill 100% of the adult fleas in your house, you have only taken care of 1-2% of your total

flea problem. Remember that when it comes to fleas and ticks, an ounce of preven-tion is worth a pound of cure. At the West Hazleton Veterinary Hospital, we recom-mend using a good spot-on such as Frontline Plus (not one of the copy cat products), or a systemic preventative such as Sentinel, be-fore the fleas invade. If you already have a flea problem, please contacts us, at 570-455-2580, for a complimentary telephone con-sult on the steps neces-sary to get rid of fleas.

Art & Antiques by Dr. LoriThe National September 11 Memorial & Museumby lori verderame

Like many others, I lost friends on Sep-tember 11, 2001. As a museum professional and historian dedicated to the study of ob-jects and their role in culture, I am pleased to highlight the September 11 Memorial and its new Museum that recalls that historic day. The National September 11 Memo-rial & Museum debuted with ceremony and remembrance recently. The Memorial & Museum are located on eight of the sixteen acres of the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan (New York City). The Memorial, designed by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, honors the 2,983 people who were killed in the attacks of both September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The Memorial consists of two reflecting pools formed in the footprints of the original Twin Tower buildings. Designed by lead architects Davis Brody Bond of New York City, the National Sep-tember 11 Museum is sited below ground and displays artifacts linked to the events of 9/11, while telling the stories of loss, com-passion, and recovery of the 2001 and 1993 attacks. This is achieved through displays, multimedia, and interactive exhibits. Davis Brody Bond is the lead architect on the Mu-seum project sited below the Memorial pla-za. Architect Steven Davis, FAIA said “The magnitude of the historic importance of the site and its symbolism made it essential for us to find a balance between the collective and the individual experience. ” The architec-tural firm was established in 1952 by Lewis Davis and Samuel Brody and became Davis Brody Bond in 1990. Today, it is one of the leading architectural firms in America. Over the years, Davis Brody Bond has designed buildings for prestigious universities such as Cornell, Northwestern, Princeton and Co-lumbia. Also, they designed museum build-ings including The Frick Collection and the National Museum of African American His-tory and Culture. Before the public opening of the Nation-al 9/11 Museum, there were a few days set aside when the museum hosted 9/11 families, President and Mrs. Obama, first responders, rescue and recovery workers, survivors, and residents of lower Manhattan. The museum was kept open for 24 hours to host these individuals in the same way that rescue and recovery personnel worked continuously at

Ground Zero in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy. The Museum opened to the general pub-lic on May 21, 2014. Admission is $24 for adults with discounted rates for seniors, US Veterans, US College students, and youths. Ad-mission is free on Tuesdays from 5 to 8 pm. Visit www.911memorial.org The Museum boasts 110,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space which features interactive, mul-timedia displays, personal narratives and im-pressive monumental and uniquely personal artifacts. The breathtaking “In Memoriam” exhibition remembers the people and reminds visitors of 9/11. A three-part mainly histori-cal exhibition leads visitors through the back-ground of the attacks, the events of the day, and the aftermath. “The Museum tells heart-breaking stories of unimaginable loss, but also inspiring stories of courage and compas-sion. Its opening honors the commitment we made to 9/11 family members and to all fu-ture generations: That we would never forget

those we lost or the terrible les-sons we learned that day” said Michael Bloom-berg, Chairman of the 9/11 Me-morial & Muse-um and former New York City Mayor. Museum donations came from people from across the country and around the

world including New York City school chil-dren who donated their pennies to the proj-ect. It is anticipated that the museum’s inau-gural summer of 2014 will be a busy one with visitors coming to the memorial and museum from all parts of the world. I urge you to visit, learn, and remember.

Do you cringe when your pet gives you kisses? Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria leads to plaque and tartar buildup. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other signs of dental disease. As dental disease progresses, there may be drool-ing, discomfort while chewing, and loose or missing teeth. Even if you’re using treats and chews to help control tartar, these are often not enough to keep dental disease in check. Dental hygiene is an important part of your pet's health, because dental disease can lead to other serious health problems such as heart, liver and kidney disease, respiratory disorders and other systemic diseases. Bad breath can also be caused by a number of health issues, such as diabetes, gastrointesti-nal disease, sinus or mouth infections, poor

diet or autoimmune diseases. But how do you know if your pet has a healthy mouth? An examination of your pet’s teeth and gums will help determine if there are any den-tal issues you should know about. Even if you think your pet’s teeth and gums are fine, we can offer expert advice to help you keep them that way! Many dental problems can be managed through home care and by bringing your pet to us for regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings. So remember, the next time your pet gives you a kiss and his/her breath knocks you over, give us a call to make an appointment for a dental exam. Pets can live a longer, healthier life if oral health care is managed and main-tained throughout their life. If you would like a quote for your pet’s den-tal cleaning, please call us at (570) 459-1013.

Dogs Bark. That’s Just The Way It Is

We here at Hazle Township receive numer-ous calls about barking dogs, dog waste not being picked up, and dogs running loose in the neighborhood. We have (thankfully) very few calls about dangerous/vicious dogs hav-ing bitten someone. We would like to take this time to remind pet owners of their responsibility. Per Ordinance #2010-7-12-1 An Ordi-nance Regulating the Behavior of Animals as Pets and Responsibility of Pet Owners With-in the Confines of Hazle Township.1. Dogs may not roam free, they must be ei-ther in a fenced in area (this includes invisible fencing) or on a chain or leash.2. Any person having custody or control of a dog must carry equipment to clean up the an-imals feces. Any person in control or custody of a dog shall clean up any feces and dispose of it in a sanitary manner.4. No dogs or cats shall be allowed to create a disturbance in the neighborhood and all barking and howling must be controlled be-tween the hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.5. Anyone who files a false report regarding

an animal in the township shall be subject to fines.6. Dangerous/Vicious dogs should be re-ported to the Dog Warden at 570-350-9392. Hazle Township will not attempt to catch or confine any dogs. That being said, dogs bark, that’s what they do, it’s their job. A dog is allowed to bark during the day and if he is let out at night, will probably bark then too. Just remember, be a good neighbor and quiet them down af-ter 10 P.M. when people are sleeping.

TCMA War Years Baseball Set In 1972, Tom Collier and Michael Aronstein began producing many Minor League Baseball Sets under the name TCMA which were the first and last initials of the partners in this enterprise. Aronstein, a collector himself, bought out Collier and continued producing baseball sets of minor league teams but also collector issues of famous teams of the past and of players of former days of a particular time frame, usually a decade. Ar-onstein would usually give minor league teams 500 to a 1,000 team sets for the right to produce sets of the franchise. In addition to the minor league sets, Aronstein produced a 293 card set of players from the 1960s in 1978 and a 291 care set of players from the 1950s in 1979. Aronstein issued another set of the 189 players from the 1960s also in 1979. He basically manufactured both minor league and collector issues to support his own baseball card buying habit. Aronstein continued producing sets through 1987. Many of Aronstein’s team sets were of World Series Champions and Pennant winners from baseball’s early decades. I have several of these sets which are mainly in black and white, but the card backs offer a good deal of information. Aronstein pro-duced sets of the best pictures, hitters and all-time greats of a particular era. Some of these sets were viewed as “oddball” ones but nevertheless were very interesting. Over the years, minor league sets which contained the rookie card of a Major League superstar, appreciated in value, sometime to a great degree. Sets of famous teams are still popular today since team sets of players from the 1950s are earlier would not be easy to assemble and would be quite expensive if one were lucky enough to find the cards. One of the “oddball” sets that really caught my interest was the TCMA War Years set which de-picted four players with local connections in the 90 card set. The War Years Set was produced over a period of years. Series I was make available in

1977 and Series 2 of the set in 1980. The 45 cards in Series 2 were produced in greater number than those 45 cards in 1977. Approximately 5,000 sets were at one time available, with extra ½ sets of Series 2. Three players in the shorter printed 1977 Series have local connections, namely, Card number 11-Tony Lupien, Card number 29-Don Manno and Cardnumber 40-Ron Northey. Card number 53 in the second series in Mike Tresh. I first became aware of the TCMA Set when I saw Don Manno’s autographed card in a baseball catalogue from Kit Young, one of the pioneers in baseball card dealing. I immediately called about the card but was told that it was no longer avail-able. I contacted my good friend, Fr. John Man-no, who has a nice collection of his father’s mem-orabilia but was unaware of the War Years Card. I kept my eye out for the card, and about a year later spotted a 1977 Don Manno War Years card offered by a dealer in the Sports Collectors Di-gest. I immediately purchased it for Father John who was thrilled to get it. For some reason, even though it was a year later, I called Kit Young and was told that the autographed card was indeed available. I promptly purchased it for $19.95 for Father John who again was elated to receive it. Don Manno had a very successful minor league career as a power hitter and RBI man. Manno appeared in three games for the Boston Bees in 1940 and in 22 games for the Boston Braves, the same team, in 1941. Don Manno is one of the few players to hit a grandslam homerun in his very first Major league game. The uncle of another friend of mine, Pas-tor Hugh Lupien, appears as Card number 11 in the set. Ulysses “Tony” Lupien on whom I did an earlier Panorama article, had a six year Major league career. I still have a War Years card of Tony Lupien which I intend to give to Pastor Hugh. I also have an autographed one that I purchased for myself. A decade or so ago when Pastor Lupien’s

congregation purchased St. Michael’s, Harwood for which I represented the Diocese of Scranton, I gave Pastor Lupien a 1949 Bowman card of his uncle Tony. Tony Lupien had a productive six years in the Majors in which he had a career aver-age of .268 and was considered a fine defensive first baseman with good speed. In 1944, Lupien hit .283 for the Phillies in 597 at bats. Tony Lu-pien is the grandfather of one of the most famous professional wrestlers, John Cena. Ron (The Round Man) Northey, who was born in Mahanoy City and had a fine 12 year career, first as a starting player, then as a pinch hitter, batted .276in 1084 games with 108 homeruns. Ron appears as Card number 40 in the War Years set. He also appears on 5 regular is-sue baseball cards: 1950, 51 and 52 Bowman and 1952 and 1957 Topps. His son, Scott is included in the 1970 and 71 Topps sets. Mike Tresh appears as Card number 53 in the more plentiful Second Series of the TCMA War Years Set. Mike Tresh had a 12 year career as a catcher, 11 years with the White Sox and a year with the Indians. Tresh had a career average of .249 with 788 hits, only two of which were homeruns. Tresh was very difficult to strike out fanning only 263 times in over 3,000 at bats. The lack of homeruns in Tresh’s lengthy career might lead one to say that he had “infield fly rule power”. Tresh appears on a 1941 Double Play card alongside of Hall of Famer, Luke Ap-pling and on a 1949 Bowman card, number 166 which I found difficult to obtain since it is a semi-high number. The card states that he was born in Hazleton. I am sure that just about all baseball fans are more familiar with his son, Tom who played 9 years in the Majors with the Yan-kees except for 45 games with the Tigers. Tom Tresh batted .245 as an outfielder and shortstop. Unlike his father, Tom Tresh had a good deal of power and hit 153 career homeruns. Tom Tresh

was basically a .265 or so hitter but tried to play with injuries the last several years of his career which brought his average down. Tom Tresh was a man of excellent character and was a highly ad-mired baseball coach. The backs of the TCMA War Years set contain players statistics form 1940-45, noting any years in that period that they served in the military. A cannon is on each side of the back of the cards. Quite a few obscure players who never appeared on a regular issue set appear in the War Years. We have to remember that baseball cards were nor produced from 1942-47. However, a few Hall of Famers and other noteworthy players appear in the set as well as players who became successful mangers. Among the names baseball fans would recognize are: Mel Ott, Luke Appling ,Hal Ne-whouser, Al Lopez, Birdie Tebbetts, Herman Franks ,Johnny Vander Meer, Dizzy Trout, Mar-ty Marion, Bill “Swish” Nicholson, Rip Sewell, Howie Pollett and Mickey Vernon. The TCMA War Years set also contains sev-eral multiple player cards that I found interest-ing, namely the 1943 New York Yankees Starting World Series Lineup, St. Louis Brown Belters and Boston Bee Rookie Pitchers on which card Casey Stengel, the manager is included. TCMA War Year Sets are not that plentiful but do ap-pear from time to time of ebay as buy it now or as an auction item. Some dealers will sell sets for $150 or so. Others will sell individual cards from between $2 and $7. Autograph cards from the set are considerably more since most of the play-ers are deceased. I feel $50 to $70 for the total set is a reasonable price range. Certainly the cards of players who do not appear in regular issue sets would be treasured by family members and friends. If auctioned off, I think $20 would be a fair opening bid.

LIGHT, MEDIUM & HEAVY DUTY TOWING

(NAPSA)-Windshield wipers may be among the most overworked and underappreciated equipment on your car. For example, while drivers depend on their wipers for visibility in rain, sleet and snow, many don't pay attention to them until they can't see clearly out of the windshield. As a result, say ex-perts, they end up endangering their own safety as well as that of fellow travelers. "Windshield wipers take a beating-not just because of normal use, but also extreme temper-atures, ultraviolet light, car waxes, tree sap, road tar and even pollutants," says wiper specialist Chris Vermette. A good rule of thumb is to replace blades at least yearly, or as soon as you notice a streak, skip or smear. It's an easy do-it-yourself project, but damaged wiper arms and motors may need professional attention.

Signs of Wear The most common signs and causes of worn wiper blades include:• Streaking: The rubber squeegee dries, hardens and cracks, or there is debris on the windshield.

• Skipping: The blade develops a curvature from damage or lack of use.• Wearing: Excessive use and rounded-not squared-rubber edges.• Splitting: Rubber deteriorates and separates from the frame because of sun and solvent damage.

Tips On Preserving Blades While no wiper blade lasts forever, ACDelco Professional Service Center Program technicians recommend these tips to prolong blade life and preserve your visibility:• Clean your windshield at every fill-up.• Wipe the rubber blade with a damp paper towel to remove loose dirt.• Never use windshield wipers to remove ice from your windshield. The stress can damage the blade as well as the motor. Use an ice scraper or defroster. • In the winter, pull up wipers to prevent the squeegee from icing and sticking to the glass.• Use a quality washer solvent; cheap ones are full of alcohol, which dries the rubber.

Top 6 Summer Maintenance Tips

See John, Nick or Irene Chura

by thomas r. Buff

I do not have to remind you that the cold weather is finally gone and the summer driv-ing season is upon us. I also do not need to re-mind you that gasoline prices are creeping up and car maintenance is least on the minds of the average automobile owner. Never the less, it is no secret that many automobiles are sadly neglected these days. Repairs are inevitable and become necessary sooner and more frequently when maintenance is neglected. The Car Care Council estimates that more than $62 billion in vehicle maintenance and repair that should be performed every year is neglected, evidence that there is considerably more that consumers should be doing to protect their automotive in-vestment. By being proactive and performing a few basic maintenance checks on your own vehicle can keep your auto running throughout the warm summer months. So here are the top 6 maintenance checks you can do on your own.• Fluid Levels – Check the oil, coolant, trans-mission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluids. If a fluid is low look for leaks, low fluid levels are often the cause of major problems due to the fact that they are often overlooked. A low coolant level can cause overheating and engine failure. Remem-ber, never remove or open the radiator cap on a hot engine, wait until the engine has cooled down. Low brake fluid can cause brake failure and a low oil level can cause severe damage to the engine of your car as well. Scheduling an oil change at the beginning of the summer season is a good idea. Remember, oil is not only a lubri-cant but also acts to cool the vital engine parts.• Tire Inflation Pressure - All tires should be inflated according to the manufactures recom-mended pressure. Most accidents involving tire blowouts are due to improper air pressure. To find out where the right pressure is you can look

for the decal on the inside of the driver’s side door or also in your owners’ manual. Remem-ber, a properly inflated tire will also save you gas!• Battery – Believe it or not, batteries normal-ly fail in the summer months due to the hot weather. Check the age of the battery and if it is older than 5 years it is probably a good time to replace it. Also clean all the corrosion off of the battery terminals.• Belts And Hoses – Weather can wreak havoc on your belts and hoses. Check the condition of your coolant hoses by squeezing them to feel for soft spots which indicate a worn out hose. By twisting the belt or belts you may see any signs of cracks, distortions, worn spots or fail-ure. Summer is not the time to be stranded on the highway because of a busted radiator hose or a torn belt.• Brakes – The braking system is obviously an important part of maintenance but is one of the most neglected. Most motorists can handle the task of checking brake lining and brake fluid with common hand tools. Otherwise, have the brakes system checked at a qualified repair shop.

This is especially true if you are planning on traveling this summer. • Windshield wiper blades – Powerful sum-mer storms can dump a lot of water and make visibility near zero. The extreme temperature changes from the winter season wreak havoc on the wiper blades by causing cracks and tears that can lower the effectiveness of the wipers. If your wipers are leaving visible streaks or take several passes to clear away light rain, they need to be replaced. Remember that it is important to maintain your automobile. The items mentioned are just a small part of what should be a thorough main-tenance schedule for your automobile. Keeping your car safe, reliable and fuel ef- f i -cient through proper maintenance will ensure an enjoyable summer driv-ing season. Happy Motor-ing.

(NAPSA)-Many drivers find that if they want to make their car last, it pays to put it first. Taking good care of your car means you are more likely to avoid problems, both now, while you're driving it, and later, when you sell it. To improve the life of your vehicle and its price at resale, it's a good idea to get it ser-viced regularly. The car will not only run bet-ter, it will be highlighted on a Carfax Report as a "well maintained" vehicle. Keep track of the service history so you can prove you did the right thing to prospective buyers. To help, you can get reminders about up-coming service from the free myCarfax mo-bile app. Subscribers also learn of any open recalls on their cars.

The Law Of�ce of Christy M. DeMel�, PC is a debt relief agency and assists people with �ling for backruptcy relief.

This month, I’ll address some common questions that potential clients often ask about bankruptcy.

Question: Will I lose my house by filing for bankruptcy? Answer: Not necessarily. You may be able to keep your home in a Chapter 7, depend-ing upon the equity in the home. You can normally keep your home in a Chapter 13 no matter how much equity so long as you pay your creditors in full.

Question: Will anyone know that I filed for bankruptcy?

Answer: Normally not un-less you tell them. Bank-ruptcy filings are not published in the news-paper or posted around town. It is a public record though, so if someone knows where to look and really wants to find out, they can. Most of the time, no one knows unless you say something.

Question: Will I ever be able to get credit again?Answer: Yes. Getting credit may be more difficult. You may end up paying higher in-terest rates and having lower credit limits, but you can and will get credit again.

Question: Can I keep my car?Answer: Normally yes. The answer depends upon the amount of equity in your vehicle though. If you have a vehicle, worth $20,000 that is fully paid for, then you may not be able to keep the vehicle. As most people do not have vehicles with that much equity, it is normally not a problem to keep the vehicle. If you have a question that you want an-swered, please submit your question to me at [email protected]. Be sure to put in the subject line – Panorama Q u e s t i o n .

Do You Really Know If You Will HaveEnough Income In Retirement?

One of your biggest future risks could be running out of money during retirement. In my experience, when people are asked “have you saved enough to be able to retire and live financial secure for the rest of your life?”, most people answer in words that translate into “I really don’t know”. Using Janney’s interactive Retirement Income Evaluation software, I can help you to develop a better understand-ing of your retirement picture by providing answers to these important questions: What sources of income will you rely upon? Will your income and assets last for your lifetime? What expenses can you expect? What is a sus-tainable spending level? During a complimentary and interactive session, we can discuss the following topics to provide you a road map, actionable recom-mendations—and more.

your retirement picture We will have a meaningful discussion about how and when you plan to retire—and if you can afford to maintain your current lifestyle in retirement. We will estimate how your income and assets will be utilized to get you through retirement. The picture we develop will be based on the information you provide as well as assumptions about investment per-formance, inflation and other factors.

your Income Sources I will provide a projection of your future retirement income sources such as Social Se-curity, pensions, annuities, and investments. I will recommend an optimal mix between guaranteed and variable income sources. If changes are needed, I can recommend in-come-generating investment and insurance solutions.

July 2014 • 61

July is the hottest month of the year. It is also when we begin to enjoy fresh vegetables like beans, corn, cucumbers, peppers, squash and tomatoes. These warm season vegetables can-not tolerate cool temperatures, so gardeners in northeast Pennsylvania have to wait until about Memorial Day to plant them. Once the warm weather arrives, they usually grow quite vigor-ously and produce abundant, delicious crops. However, not always. In recent years I have observed that some of my summer crops pro-duce less fruit, or produce it later in the season, than in “normal” summers. Sometimes the to-mato plants have grown beautifully and flowered normally, but when I searched for tomatoes on the vines I found very few Even more alarming, I discovered that my pepper plants were grow-ing very poorly and setting little if any fruit. I also noticed that the tomatoes that were growing were very slow to ripen. And I was not alone. Other gardeners la-mented the slow ripening of tomatoes and poor production of pepper and cucumber plants, even though there was no evidence of insect or disease difficulties. This was especially true a couple of years ago when we had an unusually hot summer. Talking with local farmers, I learned that the likely problem was the hot weather of July. Even heat-loving vegeta-bles do not produce well in excessive heat. Our summers have been get-ting hotter, with several days reaching over 90º. Curious about how hot it actually got in the vegetable garden, which is in full sun, I placed a thermometer in with the tomatoes. The next day, the temperature was 100º at 9 am! Assuming that the thermometer

Master Gardener:Vegetables And Summer Heat

by mary ann miller, master Gardener

was faulty, I placed another nearby and checked it again the next day. Both thermometers read 100º, again at 9 am. No wonder it was so ex-hausting to work in the garden. And no wonder the plants were struggling to produce. In excessive heat, plants may wilt and leaves and fruit may show signs of sunscald. When the temperature exceeds 90º, plants produce fewer flowers. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and a squash have poor fruit set. The heat also interferes with photosynthesis and slows the growth and ripening of fruit. Warm nightime temperatures, such as we had the last two sum-mers, also affect plants. Minimum temperatures over 75º cause blossom drop. They also increase the respiration rate of plants, which limits the production of sugar and affects flavor. If the soil temperature exceeds 80º, growth will be slowed.

Heat also affects the quality of fruit. Heat-re-lated tomato disorders include sunscald, uneven ripening (such as green or yellow shoulders), in-ternal white spots, and blossom end rot. It is, of course, impossible to control the weather, but there are some things gardeners can do to reduce the effect of excessive heat. Monitor the temperature so that you can respond when it becomes too hot. Mulch plants to keep the soil cool and moist, if possible using heat-reflecting, light-colored mulch such as straw or dried grass clippings. Water thoroughly to encourage plants to develop deep roots, making sure that they get 1-2 inches per week. Normally it is best to water at the soil level, as with a soaker hose, to keep

the foliage dry and less likely to develop disease. However in excessive heat, watering or misting cools the plant tissue. Do any overhead watering early in the day so that the plants have time to dry before evening. There are also heat tolerant varieties of veg-etables available. Check garden catalogues to see which will work best in hot weather. Companies in the south are more likely to offer plants that will withstand the heat. Shade cloths can also be used to protect vegetables, but they can be difficult to place over plants and then remove as needed. Be careful not to reduce air flow around plants if using cloths to protect them from the sun. And don’t give up hope. Usually plants re-bound and produce well when the weather cools in August. The harvest may be later than you wish and somewhat less abundant, but it usually comes. And hot summers are often followed by long, warm autumns, so the growing season may be extended. Hotter weather is becoming the new normal; we must adapt. For more information about coping with ex-cessive summer heat in the vegetable gar-den, call the Luzerne County Mas-ter Gardener Help Line at 570-622-0622.

5 Ways To CreateA Safer Bathroom

www.harthandsons.com

License #s:CMRC80910PA077700

• Bathrooms• Additions• Roofing• Mold Remediation• Decks• Etc

(Family Features) According to the National Safety Council, approximately 70 percent of all accidents occurring in the home happen in the bathroom - accounting for nearly 200,000 acci-dents each year. While it's difficult to eliminate risks entire-ly, you can make your bathroom safer for the whole family by following a few simple steps: • Choose a textured floor. The splish and splash of taking a bath often leads to slippery surfaces. When choosing flooring for a bathroom, avoid slick surfaces like porcelain and granite, and look for textured choices with better traction. If ce-ramic is a must, look for certified slip-resistant options. When in doubt, opt for smaller bath-room tiles. The more grout lines, the more resis-tance your flooring will offer.• Make it level. You don't need a large, walk-in shower to get one with a low threshold. As trips can be as dangerous as slips, look for a safe shower pan that is level with the floor, making it easy to step inside.• Get a grip. Installing grab bars in the shower and next to the tub is a good idea for everyone, but it's especially important for those looking to stay in their home as they age.• Keep kids in mind. Locks for every style of cabi-net or drawer are readily available at local hard-ware stores. If you have small children (or if they visit), remember to lock away medications, small electrical appliances and cleaning supplies. Above all, never leave children unattended in the bath or shower. • Don't get burned. Water heater thermostats can be preset up to 140 degrees, a temperature that can easily burn sensitive skin. Reduce the risk of burns by setting your water heater to 120 degrees. For added peace of mind, install a shower system that provides a digital temperature read out. No matter what age or stage of life, mishaps can happen to anyone and making a few simple adjustments could make all of the difference for your family's safety in the bathroom.

Simple Tips For A Cleaner,More Efficient Home

(NAPSA)-There's good news for those who want to get a handle on cleaning their home but don't know where to start. The experts from the Whirlpool Institute of Home Science have some practical advice and useful guidelines to help you get your home in tip-top shape.

The Laundry Room • Organization is key. Make sure to pre-sort your laundry into designated baskets for lights, darks and whites. • Less is more. Don't overload the washer or dryer. Clothes will come out cleaner and less wrinkled when given room to move freely.• Go easy on the suds. If you have a high-effi-ciency (HE) washer, use only HE detergents in the proper amount to help prevent oversudsing and the buildup of odor-causing residue. With a regular washing machine, remember that concentrated detergents require using smaller amounts.• Don't overdry your clothes. Contrary to pop-ular belief, it's actually a lack of moisture that causes your clothes to shrink.

The Kitchen• Declutter the countertops. Rather than dis-

playing your small kitchen appliances, store them in easy-access cabinets and take out only when needed. Appliance garages have become a popular feature in newer homes to create a streamlined kitchen experience.• Shield your cookware. To make cleanup a breeze after cooking or baking, line your cook-ware with tinfoil before placing in the oven. Af-ter dinner, just toss out the foil and wipe down any spilled residue. • Stop prerinsing the dishes. Remember, most dishwashers are designed to sense the amount of soil on the dishes and will run the cycle ac-cordingly. Scrape food items off, but there is no need to rinse. • When in doubt, throw it out. Start clear-ing the refrigerator by putting contents on the counter. No idea how long that mustard has been in the fridge? Get rid of it. Use the three "E" rules as your guidelines-if it's expired, emp-ty or makes you say "ew," toss it. With over 100 years of practice, Whirlpool Corporation knows a thing or two about house-hold chores. For more ideas and information, visit the Institute of Home Science on Face-book.


Five Simple Tips To EnhanceYour Home’s Personality

(Family Features) Your home can say a lot about you. A state-of-the-art kitchen out-fitted with a double oven likely means you enjoy cooking and entertaining friends and family. Likewise, a backyard complete with play sets, a treehouse or a basketball hoop is a sure sign your house is also a hangout for the neighborhood kids.

If you’re thinking about ways to add some personality to your space, consider these five simple (and wallet-friendly) improvements:1. Paint your front door. First impressions start at the front door. Consider your home’s exterior and outdoor surroundings as you’re selecting a new hue, but when narrowing down your paint palette, also focus on the tints that best reflect your family’s vibe. A bright green door is both welcoming and fun, while a shiny black finish adds glamour. Even a crisp, white hue can be anything but boring, offering a clean backdrop for potted plants and accessories that change with each season.2. Replace a fixture. If cooking is integral to your personality, consider updating one of your kitchen’s most frequently used applianc-es: the faucet. Today’s kitchen faucets come equipped with a variety of features and make for a relatively simple DIY project. The Delta Trinsic kitchen faucet, for ex-ample, features a magnetic pull-down wand

that locks the spray head in place when it’s not in use and optional Touch2O Technol-ogy, which allows users to turn water on or off with a simple tap. Like any good acces-sory, choose a finish that complements your personality and room, from the warm and in-viting tones of Champagne Bronze to always in-style chrome. 3. Install new hardware. Small details can make a big impact. Customize furniture, closets or built-ins with stylish drawer pulls. Styles range from the whimsical, hand-paint-ed options available at craft fairs to more sub-stantive handles and pulls available at your local hardware store. Take your time selecting pieces you love for a look that’s both unique and functional.4. Start a collection. Showcase your person-ality by decorating your space with small items or collectables. A collection of sea glass bottles or vases, for instance, could pay trib-ute to a favorite vacation spot, while ceramic animals in bright colors show off your quirky and creative side. To create a cohesive focal point, focus on collecting items similar in col-ors, materials or textures.5. Build or craft something. If you’re really daring, try creating some inexpensive home decor for your space. Sites like Pinterest.com are great resources for compiling inspiration; many blogs also offer step-by-step guides for a variety of projects for the home. Whether you’re creating a one-of-a-kind piece of art or building a coffee table from scratch, your next project could be a fun opportunity to help truly customize your home.

A couple of beneficial things that you can do to upkeep the appearance of your home this summer may include such seemingly trivial house chores such as trimming the hedges or even resurfacing your driveway. Besides the obvious curb appeal to complet-ing housework like this, there are other seri-ous benefits to these activities that may not be so conspicuous. For example, pruning and trimming hedg-es can boost plant growth, get rid of disease and/or insect infested portions, and increase the flowering of the plant. The trick lies in the timing and know-how of the process. Ill-timed trimming can do as much harm as improperly doing so. This is why it is best to consult a lawn care professional before con-sidering to maintain your curbside greenery. Another thing a lot of homeowners let slip their minds is the necessity of resurfacing their driveways. As Pennsylvanians, it may be all too familiar to us that eventually (maybe perpetually) our roads need to be redone or resurfaced. Your driveway is no exception. Over time, it is inevitable that asphalt becomes worn. This can be seen by its cracks and p o t h o l e s , which we all know and love. It may seem when

your asphalt gets to this kind of condition that it is too late to do anything to cause re-pair, but this isn’t right. Not only is there the eye sore of the cracks and potholes, but surface imperfections such as these can cause concern at your business, putting at risk your employees and customers. To solve the prob-lem is a matter of asphalt resurfacing. Con-sulting a professional for asphalt resurfacing can make it look as good as new. Call Advanced Lawn Specialties at 570-926-0185 for your free estimate for lawn care, landscaping needs and blacktop repair and re-surfacing.

(NAPSA)-If your house is like most in Amer-ica today, you and your family create up to 40 pounds of dust a year, just through everyday liv-ing. In addition, high temperature and humidity can also increase concentrations of some pol-lutants. So can not getting in enough outdoor air, which can happen, especially with modern homes designed to minimize air "leaks." Through normal occupation in a home, peo-ple generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust and chemicals. These are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated several times a day. Over time, this causes a buildup of contaminants in the duct-

work.Your Health

Dirty ducts can harbor contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory problems, autoimmune disorders or allergies. Health effects from indoor air pollutants may include irritated eyes, nose and throat, as well as headaches, dizziness and fatigue. Symptoms of asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis and hu-midifier fever may also come from exposure to some indoor air pollutants. To protect you from this pollution, your heat-ing and cooling system acts as the lungs of your

home. The system takes air in and breathes air out. A good rule of thumb: If your ducts look dirty, they probably are and should be inspected by a reputable, certified HVAC professional.

Your Wealth In addition to better air, clean ducts can mean saving money and energy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heat_ing or cooling a home is wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cool-ing system cause it to work harder and wear out sooner. Even with filters, the heating and cool-ing system still gets dirty through normal use. A clean system uses less energy for more cost ef-fectiveness.

Who Can Help A good way to get your ducts properly cleaned is to have them done by a professional who be_longs to NADCA, a trade association of companies in the HVAC inspection, mainte-nance and restoration industry that have signed the NADCA Code of Ethics and invested time and resources into industry-related training and education. Members possess general liability insurance and will clean and restore your heating and cool-ing system in accordance with NADCA stan-dard and guidelines.

(Family Features) For many homeowners, there is nothing better than inviting friends over to cool off from the sun's warm rays in the com-fort of their own backyard pool. Here are some ways to keep your investment in its best shape all season long:• Keep up with shrubs - If your backyard pool sits near trees and bushes, be sure to keep them trimmed throughout the season. This will help avoid additional debris from flying into your pool, which can create extra cleaning work for you. If possible, consider replacing these plants with those that create less of a mess.• Clean the surface often - Get rid of unattract-ive stains at the waterline with a quality surface cleaner. For best results, use the cleaner with a pool brush and rub from the top of the waterline to a few inches below the mark. • Check levels regularly - Be sure to monitor your pool's chlorine and pH levels at least twice a week. The best time to do this is in the evening and several hours after the last swimmer has left the pool. If a rain or wind storm has occurred, wait about eight hours before testing.• Reduce maintenance duties - Besides provid-ing increased comfort to swimmers, more ho-

meowners are choosing saltwater chlorinated pools for ease of use and reduced maintenance. If you're looking to spend less time keeping your pool maintained, consider installing a saltwa-ter chlorination system, which eliminates the need for buying, storing and handling chemical chlorine. Saltwater chlorinated pool owners also enjoy the benefits of less irritated skin and eyes, as well as a significant cost savings verses their chemical chlorine counterparts. To learn more about saltwater chlorinated pools, visit www.swimincomfort.com. • Run filtration system daily - Water in constant movement is less likely to collect debris, such as dust, body oils and bacteria. Be sure to run your filtration system as much as possible throughout the summer to keep water as clean and clear as possible.• Keep equipment tidy - Pool skimmers are used to pick up yard debris, insects and other unde-sirable items that can fall into the water. While skimming the pool is typically needed before ev-ery swim, you should also clean the skimmers on a weekly basis, or as needed. A clean, maintained pool will help you get most from those carefree days of summer.

Briana Papp And Hannah Plaza Are The 2014Rotary Club Of Hazleton Scholarship Winners

The Rotary Club of Hazleton is proud to announce that Hannah Plaza and Briana Papp, Hazleton Area High School Seniors, have been selected as the recipients of the club’s Annual Scholarship Award. The scholarship awarded to each student will have a total value of four thou-sand ($4,000.00) to be disbursed $1,000.00 per year for a maximum of four years. “The Hazle-ton Rotary Club is very happy that this year we are able to offer two scholarships for the very first time.” comments Rotary President John Mad-den. “The membership looks forward to help-ing as many area young people as possible with this assistance”. Briana has lived in Sugarloaf her whole life and attended Valley Elementary/Middle School before Hazle-ton Area High School. She is the daughter of Donna and Stephen Papp and has three sisters; Gabrielle, Julia, a twin-Cassie and a brother, Stephen. She cites community service and volunteer-ing as the things that have inspired her to “be a better person, be a leader, dream big, do the right thing or just be herself”. She is on the Serento Gardens Student Board of Directors, Executive Council of Student Government and Hazleton Area Gifted Program. Brianna volunteers annu-ally for Helping Hands and assists at the library’s Summer Reading Program and is an after school peer tutor. Her favorite community service

venture was volunteering with her twin sister at the Conyngham Valley Historical Society for their senior graduation projects. She is also on the Varsity Cross Country and Track and Field Teams, FBLA, German and National Business Honor Societies and is Treasurer of the National Honor Society. In addition, she is employed as a cashier at Gould’s Supermarket. Following a very active high school career, Briana will study Civil Engineering at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. “Winning this scholarship is a huge honor to me. This scholarship is not only making it possible for me to pay for my college education, but is also making it possible for me to reach my future goals and dreams. I appreciate it tremen-dously!” explains Briana. The daughter of Kim and Ryan Plaza, Hannah resides in West Hazleton and has been attending schools in the Hazleton Area School District since kindergarten. Hannah has two sisters, Regan and Isabella and two brothers, Zane and Jackson. She is em-ployed at Olympia Sports at the Laurel Mall Hannah is a volunteer for the Hazleton Ani-mal Shelter and participates in the American Cancer Society telethon and Relay for Life. She is also a member of the National Honor Society serving as Vice President, Class of 2014 Execu-tive Council, Key Club, FBLA and 4 year letter

winner and 2013 captain of the Field Hockey Team. She was also elected as one of the Elks’ Students of the Month. “I believe that volunteering can benefit many people on an individual basis and that often, one small act of kindness can brighten some-one’s day.” says Hannah. “I love being able to make someone’s day a little better and it makes me want to help even more people. Volunteer-ing makes a tremendous difference, making the world a little better and a little brighter” Hannah will major in Engineering, also at Lehigh University, following her successful High School Career. “The scholarship will greatly assist me throughout my four years of college, I will have two sisters entering college within the next two years and my family’s budget will be strict. Any extra money that can help me pay for books, technology fees, or room and board is truly ap-preciated.” says Hannah, adding, “It is a tremen-dous honor to have been chosen to receive this scholarship. I am so proud that all of my hard work throughout high school has allowed me to stand out from the many other excellent indi-viduals in the area.” Briana and Hannah and their families will be special guests of the Hazleton Rotary Club at their weekly meeting on Wednesday, June 18 and both girls will be the meeting’s guest speak-ers. The Rotary Club of Hazleton’s Annual Schol-arship Award is available in the spring to appli-cants who are seniors in a public or private high school located within the geographic boundaries of the Hazleton Area. “We congratulate Hannah and Briana on all their wonderful achievements and are happy to offer them this fantastic opportunity to further their education”, comments Donna Barna, com-mittee chair. “Their parents, family and school should be very proud of them and their many accomplishments!”

32 E. Buttonwood St., Hazleton, PA 18201

Works in high rough, low rough, sand, hard pan... AND even from the FAIRWAY!

A must have for golfers who want to score better& for short game improvement.

It presents a problem for me – which club do I remove from my bag? -Jim Thompson, Goose Creek, SC

This wedge is a must have for golfers looking to lower their score. It’s in my bag to stay!

-Michael Posey, Jacksonville, FL

Control and accuracy are excellent with this wedge. Much easier to use than a lofted wedge.

-Larry M. Minton, Dalzell, SC

A uniquely designed club that has a 68º lie angle,sole weighted with a large face that makesit almost impossible to shank.
