Special Thanks to businesses, crafters, and vendors for their generous contributions that helped make our festival a success. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE IN OCTOBER 2015! Thank You All, -McClure Revitalization Committe e THANK YOU Dear Editor: You Can’t Fool Mother Nature Boy, now I have heard it all “geo-engineering“. Honest, you really can’t fool mother nature. People have tried many times to fool her and only end up with pie in the sky. We have gypsy moths in Pennsylvania, pigs in Hawaii, rabbits in Australia, English sparrow, Norway rats and on and on. Each time we were either remiss or trying to improve on nature. Now, Geo-engineers are spending research dollars to modify the climate in order to lower the earth’s temperature. I say you can’t fool mother nature. They are talking about spraying sul- fates into the upper atmosphere to reflect sunlight, spray a mist of sea water to brighten clouds and space reflectors, orbiting disks to reflect sunlight. Also, they want to extract CO2 from the air and store it in the ground or the sea bottom. And, be- lieve it or not they want to seed the oceans with iron to stimu- late plankton growth to extract more CO2 which will settle to the bottom. Each of the 5 schemes are likely to cause other problems, such as changing precipitation patterns and ocean acidification. Also, they are all temporary and most result in storage of CO2. You can’t store forever and we need a forever solution. To try to lower the earth’s temperature is attacking the symptoms and not the cause. The cause is burning fossil fuel and deforestation. We need to concentrate our research dollars on alternate en- ergy and reducing CO2 production. In addition to solar, wind and ocean waves, there are a couple of ideas that could make an enormous difference. Leaf power, Lilac Amirav and 30 or so colleagues at Helios a joint project of U.C. Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are working to cre- ate artificial photosynthesis, the process by which green plants take in sunlight and carbon dioxide and produce sugar, energy and oxygen. The ultimate goal is to transform carbon dioxide into oxygen and alcohol. It has been done in the laboratory. They are now working to find a way to scale it up to industrial dimensions. This would not only remove CO2, but create a relatively clean fuel. Another ideal energy source is Micro Nukes(no CO2). Jose Reyes, Chairman of Oregon State University’s Nuclear Engi- neering Dept. explains that miniaturized nuclear plants are small enough to be mass-produced, driving costs down, and can be shipped to just about anywhere by truck or boat. He claims they can be designed to run for years without mainte- nance or refueling. Again, let’s put our research dollar’s into attacking the cause of global warming not the symptoms. Carlyle W. Westlund, Middleburg Dear Editor: Crissy Crissy is the mother of a teenage daughter, and she works part-time jobs as a waitress, mostly on weekends. During the week, she is a full-time student at the Luzerne County Com- munity College where she is studying to become a registered nurse. She is in the second year of a four-year program. She commutes four days a week from Sunbury to Nanticoke, where the college is located, because Northumberland County, like Snyder and Union Counties, doesn’t have a community college. Unfortunately, our elected leaders are more interested in serving the financial interests of the business community than they are in serving the real needs of their constituents for bet- ter jobs that require further education that is available to them conveniently in their community at a reasonable cost. Until the time comes when the populace recognizes the im- portance of a good education and the necessity of a skilled work force and then demands action from their leaders, things won’t really change; and the gap between the rich and the poor will only widen, and the middle class will continue to disap- pear. Crissy is doing the right thing for herself and setting a good example for her daughter at the same time. David L. Faust, Selinsgrove Dear Editor: The Victims Pay Again Thomas Duncan a Liberian national, not a US citizen, trav- eled to this country after dealing with Ebola patients who ap- parently died. How he got here is questionable and perhaps he was less than forthcoming when making his plane reserva- tions. In any case he ended up in Dallas, Texas. He went to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas for treatment but he apparently did not mention he had direct contact with Ebola in another Country. Never having treated Ebola and not being on alert the emergency room personnel gave him some medi- cation and sent him home. Days later Thomas again showed up in the emergency room and was then treated for Ebola. I do not know if the hospital diagnosed Ebola at that time or if Thomas finally admitted that he had been in contact with Ebola patients in another country. At that point he was isolated and treated. The Government sent out confusing reports that Ebola would be contained and there was no immediate dan- ger to the public. Remember there is no proven treatment or cure for Ebola. Apparently you push fluids that need replacing, isolate and hope for the best. The poor man dies. Two nurses are infected with Ebola. Entire neighborhoods in Dallas are at risk. Due to mobility of the nurses the aviation industry and much of the country becomes at risk for Ebola. The credibility of the Presbyterian Hospital comes in question. Millions are spent treating neighborhoods, the nurses infected, Mr. Dun- can, and other areas that were potentially infected. Procedures for treating Ebola and appropriate equipment to protect work- ers are developed or revised. Still no cure. Fear and specu- lation is rampant. Fortunately the two nurses survive and no outside infections are at this point identified. Enter the lawyers. I was thinking if Mr. Duncan survived he should be sued for the millions in damages and potential threat he posed to our country, individuals, and our health care sys- tem. Obviously fuzzy thinking on my part. The Presbyterian Hospital settled for an undisclosed amount that will take care of Mr. Duncan’s family and create a charitable foundation in his name. Wow! It is understandable why the hospital settled to get rid of the bad publicity but surely they too were victims. The nurses were victims, citizens of Dallas were victims, the taxpayers and our country in general were all victims. Mr. Duncan was apparently willing to risk it all to live and that too is understandable. He was a victim of Ebola for which there is no proven cure and it is too bad the lawyers could not figure a way to sue for that! Just One Man’s Opinion! Joseph R. Koons, Danville Dear Editor: Well Done! A “Well Done” staunch republicans on the victories in the mid-term elections! May your fondest conservative fantasies come true! Here is part of the legacy you have bequeathed to your great-grandchildren..... The Keystone XL pipeline .. hooray for cheap gas! ... too bad the kids can’t breathe the air. The spurious 40K jobs is propaganda. The actual number is less then 3K ... mostly maintenance; after completion. The cost of gas is destined for overseas markets ... and, by the way, tae sand oil is the most carbon intensive fuel to ever by proposed as an energy source. The newly elected nine republican senators are all “Climate Deniers” ... Well Done! The “Trans-Pacific-Partnership”, (TPP) ... haven’t heard of it? That’s because the TPP is the most secretive trade deal ever proposed by corporations ... that’s right, corporations, NOT governments! Of the 29 capts., only 2 deal with trade .... the other 27 chatpers are legal parameters which allow corpora- tions to sue sovereign governments for “lost profits”. Exam- ple: Royal Dutch Shell or BP want to “frack” Snyder/Union Counties ... land owners sat “NO” ... Shell/BP sue PA. and the counties for billions of dollars in “Lost Profits”. Either the great grandkids cough-ups the money for the lawsuit, (it’ll be part of their income taxes) or the “fracking” begins. While the kids are hacking or coughing from the by-products of K-XL, perhaps they can quell the cough with poisoned water from the fracking industry. The Republican Congress has been advocating passage of TPP for years ... it seems their fantasy is about to come true ... Well Done! “Obamacare,” Medicare ... ever wonder why the Affordable Care Act and Medicare are so complex and confusing? Let’s begin with “out-sourcing”, a republican favorite! The website & the program were designed by a Canadian firm (don’t we have program designers here?) Why “out-source” ANY part of either health care program to universities or “think-tanks” ... do we not have competent people in the F.D.A. or H.E.W.? The answer is simple ... “Profits before people”! The “Af- fordable Care Act” is over 900 pages long and is riddled with holes, gaps in coverage, co-pays, deductibles and the most ex- pensive prescription drug plan on earth. This is probably the fifth time I’ve written this part ... We’re the only developed nation ... out of 11 ... that has FOR PROFIT health care! The corporate-loving-republicans made sure that any health care plan would be confusing and expensive .. Well Done! (The Canadian UNiv. Health Care Act is 13 pages in length and has worked splendidly since the 60s.) One final comment on healthcare ... United Health (AARP) former CEO, Bill McGuire, took over $1 Billion in salary/bo- nuses .... wonder why your premiums are so expensive? “Profit before People”. These are only a few items on the Republican agenda for the coming years ... think of the fun the next generations will have with this legacies! Years from now the grandkids may pause in coughing and grandpap may say; “See, that well water really helped you and have a flowing complexion.” (That’s the radioactivity in the water from leaking gracking sites.) Well Done! Thanks & Be Well, Peter Mazurkiewicz, Beaver Springs Buck Contest Winner Wayne Sechrist was the winner of the senior archery division and the biggest buck taken in the senior di- vision with a bow in the Snyder County Buck Con- test presented by Zach Knepp Outdoors. The winning buck earned the archer a gift certificate from Weaver’s Archery in Kreamer and a custom stabilizer from Dead Center Archery in Beaver Springs.

Dear Editor:Crissy

Crissy is the mother of a teenage daughter, and she works part-time jobs as a waitress, mostly on weekends. During the week, she is a full-time student at the Luzerne County Com-munity College where she is studying to become a registered nurse. She is in the second year of a four-year program. She commutes four days a week from Sunbury to Nanticoke, where the college is located, because Northumberland County,

like Snyder and Union Counties, doesn’t have a community college. Unfortunately, our elected leaders are more interested in serving the fi nancial interests of the business community than they are in serving the real needs of their constituents for bet-ter jobs that require further education that is available to them conveniently in their community at a reasonable cost. Until the time comes when the populace recognizes the im-portance of a good education and the necessity of a skilled work force and then demands action from their leaders, things won’t really change; and the gap between the rich and the poor will only widen, and the middle class will continue to disap-pear. Crissy is doing the right thing for herself and setting a good example for her daughter at the same time.

Dear Editor:The Victims Pay Again

Thomas Duncan a Liberian national, not a US citizen, trav-eled to this country after dealing with Ebola patients who ap-parently died. How he got here is questionable and perhaps he was less than forthcoming when making his plane reserva-tions. In any case he ended up in Dallas, Texas. He went to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas for treatment but he apparently did not mention he had direct contact with Ebola in another Country. Never having treated Ebola and not being on alert the emergency room personnel gave him some medi-cation and sent him home. Days later Thomas again showed up in the emergency room and was then treated for Ebola. I do not know if the hospital diagnosed Ebola at that time or if Thomas fi nally admitted that he had been in contact with Ebola patients in another country. At that point he was isolated and treated. The Government sent out confusing reports that Ebola would be contained and there was no immediate dan-ger to the public.

I was thinking if Mr. Duncan survived he should be sued for the millions in damages and potential threat he posed to our country, individuals, and our health care sys-tem. Obviously fuzzy thinking on my part. The Presbyterian Hospital settled for an undisclosed amount that will take care of Mr. Duncan’s family and create a charitable foundation in his name. Wow! It is understandable why the hospital settled to get rid of the bad publicity but surely they too were victims. The nurses were victims, citizens of Dallas were victims, the taxpayers and our country in general were all victims. Mr. Duncan was apparently willing to risk it all to live and that too is understandable. He was a victim of Ebola for which there is no proven cure and it is too bad the lawyers could not fi gure a way to sue for that!

Dear Editor:Well Done!

A “Well Done” staunch republicans on the victories in the mid-term elections! May your fondest conservative fantasies come true! Here is part of the legacy you have bequeathed to your great-grandchildren..... The Keystone XL pipeline .. hooray for cheap gas! ... too bad the kids can’t breathe the air. The spurious 40K jobs is propaganda. The actual number is less then 3K ... mostly maintenance; after completion. The cost of gas is destined for overseas markets ... and, by the way, tae sand oil is the most carbon intensive fuel to ever by proposed as an energy source. The newly elected nine republican senators are all “Climate Deniers” ... Well Done! The “Trans-Pacifi c-Partnership”, (TPP) ... haven’t heard of

it? That’s because the TPP is the most secretive trade deal ever proposed by corporations ... that’s right, corporations, NOT governments! Of the 29 capts., only 2 deal with trade .... the other 27 chatpers are legal parameters which allow corpora-tions to sue sovereign governments for “lost profi ts”. Exam-ple: Royal Dutch Shell or BP want to “frack” Snyder/Union Counties ... land owners sat “NO” ... Shell/BP sue PA. and the counties for billions of dollars in “Lost Profi ts”. Either the great grandkids cough-ups the money for the lawsuit, (it’ll be part of their income taxes) or the “fracking” begins. While the kids are hacking or coughing from the by-products of K-XL, perhaps they can quell the cough with poisoned water from the fracking industry. The Republican Congress has been advocating passage of TPP for years ... it seems their fantasy is about to come true ... Well Done! “Obamacare,” Medicare ... ever wonder why the Affordable Care Act and Medicare are so complex and confusing? Let’s begin with “out-sourcing”, a republican favorite! The website & the program were designed by a Canadian fi rm (don’t we have program designers here?) Why “out-source” ANY part of either health care program to universities or “think-tanks” ... do we not have competent people in the F.D.A. or H.E.W.? The answer is simple ... “Profi ts before people”! The “Af-fordable Care Act” is over 900 pages long and is riddled with holes, gaps in coverage, co-pays, deductibles and the most ex-pensive prescription drug plan on earth. This is probably the fi fth time I’ve written this part ... We’re the only developed nation ... out of 11 ... that has FOR PROFIT health care! The corporate-loving-republicans made sure that any health care plan would be confusing and expensive .. Well Done! (The Canadian UNiv. Health Care Act is 13 pages in length and has worked splendidly since the 60s.) One fi nal comment on healthcare ... United Health (AARP) former CEO, Bill McGuire, took over $1 Billion in salary/bo-nuses .... wonder why your premiums are so expensive? “Profi t before People”. These are only a few items on the Republican agenda for the coming years ... think of the fun the next generations will have with this legacies! Years from now the grandkids may pause in coughing and grandpap may say; “See, that well water really helped you and have a fl owing complexion.” (That’s the radioactivity in the water from leaking gracking sites.) Well Done!

Thanks & Be Well,Peter Mazurkiewicz, Beaver Springs
