Entertainment each night at WH Fire Co. BazaarEnjoy a different band ev-

ery day this weekend, at the White Haven Volunteer Fire Company’s return to a bazaar format. The hometown festi-val will feature games, craft vendors, food and fun.

Friday night will feature Jeanne Zano, from 7-11.

Saturday’s music is from country-western band Lick-er’d Up, from 6-10. And Sun-day afternoon, a new time for the event, White Haven’s own Bounty Hunter Gang will take the stage from 2-6.

Favorite events like the Fri-day night firemen’s parade continue. A feature that used to be a tradition, and that has been re-introduced at recent carnivals, is the cakewalk.

That will take place on Sun-day afternoon.

Food, of course, is an im-portant aspect, and the fire company will provide all the usual favorite items, espe-

cially the home-made haluski. Beer will be available all three days.

Bazaar hours are 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Two members of the Up-per Lehigh Athletic Associa-

tion went over the dam while swimming on Saturday. The boys were able to quickly get their bearings and swim

ashore “after their quick de-scent.” An out-of-town wom-an, about 19 years of age, got too close to the breast of the dam on Sunday and went over. She was rescued from

Show your supportby Ruth Isenberg

Last week, we wrote about the need to support law enforce-ment in the face of police shootings in Dallas. The situation has gotten worse since then, with more officers ambushed in Baton Rouge, and attacks in other areas.

Those who take an oath to protect us are always in danger, but the situation now is critical. Good people of all races and backgrounds must come forward and show their support for our police departments. They need to know that the majority respect them, and appreciate what they do.

Imagine what it would be like living in a society where police, fire and ambulance service did not exist. You would be on your own for everything, from protecting your home to putting out the fire that started in your kitchen.

National Night Out on August 2 will be a good opportunity to say thank you, not only to our police officers, but also to emer-gency service personnel such as volunteer fire fighters and am-bulance members. They too place their lives on the line when they respond to calls for help. They too need to hear that they are supported and appreciated. Our lives depend on all of them.

money is being assembled to make an offer on the property.

Weatherly residents will be hearing a lot more about the project in the next few weeks.

When the borough bills arrive this week, they will in-clude a letter asking for pledg-es to purchase the property. A similar letter will be going out to members of the Weather-ly Area High School Alumni Association. Look for booths at the Weatherly Festival and the Hillclimb, with information and T-shirt sales. Dawn’s Vinyl is donating over half the cost of each shirt to the cause.

In the next few weeks, a community meeting will be called to give an update, ac-cording to Charles Palermo, president of the newly formed Charles M. Schwab School Restoration project.

The meeting with the Real-tor went well, Palermo said, and members of the commit-tee agreed. But time is of the essence. “It’s not going to be

good if it goes through anoth-er winter,” according to Paler-mo.

“We’ll be able to judge the support of the community by the pledges that come in,” said Weatherly Mayor Tom Connors, also a member of the committee. “We have a good shot at getting back to the community where it be-longs.”

While the asking price from the bank is $229,000, and money has been put into the property to stabilize it, the owner is willing to negotiate with the group. Pledges have already been received, with Palermo’s mother, who taught in the building, the first official donor.

Since the June meeting when the borough coun-cil agreed to take title if the building is purchased, a lot has been going on behind the scenes. Getting the commit-tee set up properly was time consuming; committee mem-bers paid the expenses them-selves. The group is seeking tax-exempt status from Inter-nal Revenue Service. Once received, all donations will be retroactively tax-exempt.

Serving as officers are Palermo as president, Brian O’Donnell as vice-president, Alyssa Hinkle as secretary, and Lori Clabia as treasur-er. Board members include dawn Bellizia, Connors, Phil Jeffries, Luke Medicao, Mi-chele Sparich, Paula Thomas and Lee Zink.

Korean War Armistice, 63 Years Ago part 2

In its 60 year-long standoff with its southern adversary and the USA, North Korea is a unique nation to this effect, putting almost a quarter of its GDP – 23.8% to be precise - into its army, navy and air force.

Have Americans become so complacent that we allow our leaders to fund those who will kill us? Recently our government approved an ad-ditional of $8 million through the United Nations to North Korea for “food aid,” knowing

full well that money will most-ly go to the Korean govern-ment and military.

When politicians say the UN needs reform, this is what they want, not cutting off funds to starving people, but funds to rogue dictators and nations who defraud our good intentions. Of every dollar you give in taxes to feed and shelter the people of North Korea, 11 cents go to the aid program, 25 cents go to North Koreas military, and 64 cents go to the lavish life style and bank accounts of Kim Jung Un and his top cabinet.

Our brave soldiers, sail-ors and airmen and women fought to free a people and allow them human rights and freedom. They won the bat-tles, but modern day politics lost the war. We only freed an autocratic monster ruler. With no leadership from the USA, this rogue state grows and festers.

The Korean war paused on July 27, 1953, it did not end and carries on. For 63 years, the people of the Unit-ed States have been paying for a forgotten war that poli-tics would not let our military

win. On July 27, entire gen-erations of South Koreans will honor, memorialize and remember our fighting men and women who freed them from the bonds of would be dictators. Here at home, there may be a small parade, some kind words spoken as the history fades to memory of a generation who fought and died that others may live without oppression.

Like all veterans, they do not ask for “Thanks.” But if you know or chance to meet a Korean war veteran, pause and remember and thank

them for their service. Their great sacrifice of 63 years ago still burns with the rights of humanity and freedom from oppression.

A big corrupt government cannot solve a problem while they remain the source of the problem.

A salute and many thanks to Korean war veterans, a proud and just people still re-members, even if its govern-ment has chose to forget. The VA and politicians broke their promise to you, the people of the United States has not.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD: Maurice G. (Benny) Heater Jr. of Weatherly was honored with the Distinguished Service award in recognition of his service to the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry on July 9 by Sovereign Grand Com-mander John Wm.

Heffley, House leaders announce Opioid Task Force recommendations

In a bipartisan effort to ad-dress Pennsylvania’s devas-tating opioid crisis, Rep. Doyle Heffley recently announced the completion of the recom-mendations from the House Resolution 659 Task Force and Advisory Committee on Opioid Prescription Drug Pro-liferation by the Joint State Government Commission.

Gov. Tom Wolf, Speaker Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny), Majority Leader Dave Reed (R-Indiana), Rep. Harry Readshaw (D-Allegheny) and Rep. Stephen Kinsey (D-Phil-adelphia) joined Heffley and more than 100 House mem-bers to call for continued work

on the opioid issue in Penn-sylvania.

Opioids are a class of drugs derived from or pharmacolog-ically similar to opiates. These analgesics carry a significant risk of addiction. Some data suggest that 60 percent of prescription opioid deaths oc-cur in patients with no history of substance abuse and who are only prescribed an opi-oid by one health care prac-titioner.

The recommendations in-clude five pieces of legislation passed by the House:

House Bill 1737 (John Ma-her, R-Allegheny)—Provides for the proper disposal of un-

used prescriptions. The mea-sure passed the House unan-imously May 16, 2016.

House Resolution 590 (Stephen Kinsey, D-Philadel-phia)—Directs the Depart-ment of Drug and Alcohol Programs to establish and administer a task force on ac-cess to addiction treatment through health plans.The measure passed the House unanimously May 16, 2016.

House Bill 1698 (Doyle Hef-fley, R-Carbon)—Provides coverage of abuse deterrent opioids. The measure passed the House on June 23, 2016.

From The Journal, July 13, 1978

A large number of South Towanda Street residents attended the White Haven Council meeting on July 11 to complain about the lack of water pressure, and dirty water. Frequent complaints to the Municipal Authority have not seen action. The situation has worsened in the last few weeks. Workers will look for a break in the line. The borough also has gotten a $30,000 Community Development grant to be used to repair and replace water and sewer lines, including at the south end of Towanda Street.

Council accepted the resig-nation of member Dan Brady due to “commitments of work on the home he is construct-ing…” He was elected just last November.

The police report has them investigating 9 complaints; receiving 7 phone calls and 30 radio calls; and issuing 69 parking tickets. There were two domestics, two vandal-isms, two burglaries, three thefts, an assist to another de-partment, and four funerals.

Fire chief Paul Yankanich is urging council to look for a location for a pump to be in-stalled on the river.

Crestwood’s summer rec-reation program for elemen-tary schoolers got underway on Monday at Lehigh Park. Future programs may be held at either Lehigh or Linesville Parks. A series of games, and an art project each day, are listed.

The program is also held in Memorial Park in Fairview, Wright Township park, and at Rice Elementary School.

The White Haven Lions Club is planning its second annual horse show, to be held August 6 at Lehigh Park with twenty horse events sched-uled. There will be carnival attractions and refreshments. At their meeting at the Villa Vassallo (on Route 940 west of town) Lions reported on the planning, including hav-ing the help of Cindy Weav-er. Sponsors for some events are still needed, as are prizes … and … eight-track country and western tapes…

This Friday at the Buck-horn Inn, corner of White Haven-Weatherly Road and Route 940, there will be mu-sic by country & rock band Green Mountain Railway, from 10 to 2. The kitchen will be open for soup, sandwiches and late snacks.

The White Haven Aces were shut out by Shantytown 7-0 last Sunday at Lehigh Park. They will play at Valley next Sunday because the White Haven Fire Company carnival will be getting set up.

ICS Summer enrollment for Full-Day Kindergarten

Immanuel Christian School (ICS) is currently enrolling for Full-Day Kindergarten for the 2016-17 school year. Head of School Kelly Knowlden reports that enrollment has gone well, and most grades only have 1 seat left. “We have a waiting list for 3rd and 7th grade, and are at near capacity in other grades as well. Our full-day Kindergar-ten has openings for a few more students.”

“This is an exciting time in the history of Immanuel Christian School. Our choice to lower tu-ition and expand the opportunity for Christian Education to more students has been fruitful. In re-cent years, our class sizes have varied from 3 to 10 students, and this year just about every class will be 9 or 10. This pro-vides us with the opportunity to add additional services such as increasing our learning support services, and we are very ex-cited about that.” reports Knowl-den.

For more information or to schedule a tour of the school, call the front office at 570-459-1111 or email [email protected].

Immanuel Christian School is a K-12 school located in Hazle-ton, and has an enrollment of 115 students from Hazleton and the surrounding school districts, including Tamaqua, Berwick, Crestwood, Weatherly, and Ma-hanoy City. Busing is provided.

Address is 725 N Locust St, Hazleton, PA 18201. Learn more on www.icshazleton.org.

Chair Exercise Classes for SeniorsEvery Tuesday from 10 a.m.

to 11 a.m. Lehigh Valley Health Network physical therapist Linda Banos will conduct a chair exer-cise class at the LVHN Health Center at Mountain Top, 237 Mountain Blvd., (Weis Plaza), Mountain Top. The cost is $5 per class and the health bene-fits could be priceless. For more information or to register, call Banos at 570-261-5169.

According to Banos, regular exercise and physical activity is important for everyone, includ-ing older adults. In some cases, regular exercise is important for many chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes and heart dis-

ease. Exercise can help main-tain and improve your strength, improve your ability to do house-hold chores and improve your balance. It can also add a social benefit by getting people out to meet others.

Free Pocono Mountain Summer Concert SeriesThe 2016 Free Pocono Moun-

tain Summer Concert Series at Faith Lutheran Church, Blake-slee, is proud to present Kelly Planer and the Perks as they bring their multi-talented show to the Pocono Plateau on July 24 at 7 p.m.

Bluegrass barely scratches the surface of the music they

perform. Alt-bluegrass, Ameri-can Roots Music comes closer, yet they prefer to keep their op-tions open. With Dave Coin’s sly banjo, Kelly’s vocals and Dave Imhof’s solid bass, you never know what the Perks will come up with next. From the Beatles and Nirvana to traditional blue-grass, every Perks show is full

of unmistakable style and family friendly fun.

Don’t miss the remaining 2016 Pocono Mountain Free Summer Concerts with moun-tain music provided by Wayfar-ers and Company on August 28 at 7 p.m., and the gospel sounds of Donna Godshall on Septem-ber 11 at 7 p.m.

The Sunday evening shows are held rain or shine in the church sanctuary at 7 p.m. The free general admission perfor-mances are supported through sponsorships and free will of-ferings. The church wishes to thank their concert series pa-trons and sponsors for their gen-erous support this season, and invite area musicians to contact them for 2017 performance op-portunities.

Faith Lutheran Church is lo-cated at 550 Route 940 Blake-slee PA, one mile east of Blake-slee Corner and six miles west of Pocono Pines next to Matirko Hardware. If using your gps, use the address 550 Route 940 Pocono Lake, PA. The venue is air conditioned, and accessible

to persons with disabilities. For more information about our con-cert series, call 570-646-0309 or

visit faithlutheranblakeslee.org. Like them on Facebook at Faith Lutheran Church Blakeslee PA.

Cakes still neededThe White Haven Fire Com-

pany will hold a CAKE WALK at this year’s Bazaar at Lehigh Park. It will take place on the fi-nal day of the Bazaar, Sunday, July 24 at 12:30 p.m. Cakes, pies and watermelons are needed to make this event a success, and we need your do-nation of them. This is the Fire Company’s 100th birthday so we would be happy to see any birthday cakes or pies!

PLEASE NOTE: Cakes (or

pies) made with coconut, pea-nuts or peanut by-products should be labeled as such. And because of the mid-day time of the Cake Walk, please try to keep your baked goods cool! Please bring them to the park around noon.

As always, thanks for your support - past, present and fu-ture. Anyone having questions about the Cake Walk should call Dave Searfoss at 570-328-6565.

Our Father CantataThe cantata “Our Father,”

a Journey through the Lord’s Prayer, written by Pepper Chop-lin, will be sung by the Blakeslee United Methodist Church Choir July 30 at 7 p.m. and on the 31 at their 10:30 a.m. Sunday worship service. Julie Kerrick Geiser directs the choir. All are welcome.

“Our Father” is a creative can-tata, which will take both choir and congregation on a musi-cal, visual, and spiritual journey through the Lord’s Prayer. With original music, accompanying pictures, and thoughtful narra-tion, the musical presentation provides a teachable moment for singers and listeners alike. “Our Father” is an innovative new work that delivers both art-istry and ministry.

Stephanie Kerrick, Barbara Snyder, Chung Wang, and Linda Wieben will be the featured so-loists. Joy Waltz will again pro-vide the powerful videography,

and Marlies and Al Kerrick will narrate.

Pepper Choplin, the com-poser, is a full time composer, conductor, and humorist. He has gained a reputation as one of the most creative writers of church music today. He incorpo-rates varied styles such as folk, Gospel, classical, and jazz in his music.

Members of the Blakeslee United Methodist Church Choir have travelled annually to Car-negie Hall in New York City to join with the invitation-only mass choir there, singing celebrated works of contemporary compos-ers such as Pepper Choplin and Joseph M. Martin.

The Blakeslee Church is lo-cated on Route 115 in Blake-slee, across Route 115 from the Blakeslee Shopping Center. The Rev. Joseph M. Healey is pas-tor of the congregation. Please call 570-646-7727 for more information.

Coming Events


It seems like all last week we were dodging thunderstorms. With the heat, these storms gave a bit of relief but often ar-rived with a powerful show of wind and driving rain. Most of the time I was able to avoid be-ing caught in these storms. As I write this column, Ruth and I dodged a fierce one that blew through late on Monday with winds strong enough to tear down some dead branches from trees in our own yard and blow over tents and yard fur-niture.

Last Thursday, I needed to run to Honesdale to pick up some work. This wasn’t a bad trip, in that I could enjoy the air

conditioning. On the way back, I also found gasoline on sale for $2.19.9 along Interstate 81 in Moosic. Friday I had more errands all over Monroe County, including a well-timed stop at the PennDOT driver’s center to get a new photo and license. And while I get better looking every year, I can’t say that the photo shows it. But I got a good enough one that I can stand to look at it when I have to.

The temperatures finally cooled enough so that I could do some bush and grass trim-ming around our yard. It was fun to walk around and see ev-erything in bloom. The warm weather is really to the liking of some of my lilies. There’s even some fruit on the black-berry bush. My neighbor has a grape vine, and I can see the early grapes on it. Our apple trees are beginning to drop a few green applets—I didn’t think there were any, given the late frost.

Saturday afternoon we vis-ited the Mountain Top Hose

Company’s bazaar, just miss-ing storms that went north of their site. Afterwards we went to the L&L Fire Company Homecoming that was not so lucky in that it caught a little rain. Still, at both we tried our luck at games and enjoyed people’s company. It was a fun afternoon. A late rain drove us home.

After some house cleaning, we chose to enjoy Sunday af-ternoon with a summer picnic by a lake. We wanted a bit of a drive in the air conditioning, and a nice clean lake to wade ourselves and Chess into. We also wanted to explore, so took various roads up to the top of the mountain where Ricketts Glen State Park is located. This state park has a gorgeous lake on top of something that could be called a mesa. Clever engineers were able to put a dam across a small stream and create this beautiful place where people in the know can camp with beautiful lake views.

We did NOT go walking along the waterfall trail (too

hot, and it’s not a trail to take a dog on). We did find a table within about 40 feet of the lake within the trees. We were not far from other dog owners—far enough. We could watch peo-ple go by but not be bothered, nor have Chess bother anyone. Actually, while she was wading in the water she did bother a family of ducks. Mama duck protectively herded her three fuzzballs away, and they hud-dled well away from where we waded. We all enjoyed a nice cool off, then went driving on roads less travelled, passing

beautiful farms and a couple of old forgotten villages, arriving home just after dark.

Sightings this week include a good-sized gray fox, a lot of fawns – including a pair play-ing in a field, and … one lucky skunk who moved just fast enough to be clear of the road-way as we approached.

On our calendar, we will en-joy the new White Haven Fire Co. bazaar this weekend, and will return to the PA Shake-speare Festival to see Blithe Spirit. Next week is full, with the start of the Buck Hill/Sky-top Music Festival AND the NASCAR weekend – some-how, we’ll fit in both (planning to go from one event directly to the next). We’ll look for you.

LVH-Hazleton to host blood drive

The gift of blood is the gift of life. There is no substitute for human blood.

On July 19 from noon-5 p.m., LVH–Hazleton along with Miller-Keystone Blood Center (MKBC), will host a blood drive at the hospital’s first floor lobby

conference room.Where you give blood does

make a difference. MKBC is the only blood supplier to 21 hospitals in our region. No other blood organization sup-plies these hospitals and only blood donated through MKBC is transfused at these facilities. MKBC is the only supplier of blood products to LVH–Hazle-ton.

All individuals 17 and older will need to present a valid identification card. Federal, state, county, city, municipality, workplace, or school ID will be accepted.

Although you may never know the recipient(s) of your blood donation, your gift of blood today could be the gift of life to a neighbor, friend or family member tomorrow. To register, please contact Janet Witkowski, LVH–Hazleton, at 570-501-6204.

New business in the cards for White Haven by Seth Isenberg

Opened last week, the Platinum Baseball Cards store is a walk through sports history. Owner Corey Cam-asso of White Haven is a life-long collector, but started a business in sports cards over three years ago. That busi-ness has grown, and it has now become the showroom and store in White Haven

where Corey can hold court on baseball, baseball cards, and collectibles.

Stop in for a visit and be ready to talk baseball.

In addition to baseball and other sports cards (in season), Platinum Baseball Cards offers Pokemon, Mag-ic and Yugioh cards, plus col-lecting supplies, packs and boxes.

Brown, R-Monroe/Pike)—Sets a seven-day limit on the prescription of opioids in emergency departments. The measure passed the House on June 23, 2016.

House Bill 1805 (Kurt Masser, R-Northumberland/Columbia/Montour)—Re-quires prescribers and dis-pensers to undergo con-tinuing education in pain management, addiction and prescribing practices. The measure passed the House on June 23, 2016.

“Opioid abuse is the No. 1 health crisis in our state. It is taking the lives of far too many Pennsylvanians, and my col-leagues and I are determined to find solutions to this com-plicated issue. We passed five bills based on the recom-mendations from the Opioid Prescription Drug Prolifera-tion Task Force and these are substantial first steps toward curbing opioid abuse in our Commonwealth,” said Heff-ley. “This crisis is far from over

and there is much work to be done. But I am encouraged by our progress and the spirit of bipartisanship surrounding this issue.”

Speaker of the House Mike Turzai and House Majority Leader Dave Reed encour-aged Gov. Tom Wolf to call a special session of the Gener-al Assembly to continue the bipartisan effort to proactive-ly and effectively combat the opioid crisis.

“Opioid overdoses and deaths cut across all age groups, economic sectors and racial demographics,” said Turzai. “This isn’t a par-tisan issue, as we have been fighting it for years in the House, and we are respect-fully requesting the governor call a special session so we can best protect our children, families and communities.”

Under Article IV, Sec-tion 12 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, the governor can convene the General Assembly “on extraordinary occasions” by proclamation. When the General Assembly is convened in a special ses-sion, its members can only consider legislation on those

subjects designated in the governor’s proclamation.

“Extraordinary circumstanc-es require extraordinary re-sponse and the opioid crisis in the Commonwealth is such an occasion,” said Reed. “A spe-cial session will allow us laser focus in putting measures in place to defeat the problem.”

Gov. Wolf responded fa-vorably to the call for a spe-cial session and encouraged the Legislature to continue their work on this important issue.

Several legislators have proposed legislation to ad-dress the crisis – measures have been strategically fo-cused on the following four areas: system innovations, technology advances, prac-tice innovations and public education.

“The public health conse-quences of opioid misuse are broad and worrisome. As Democratic chairman of the Subcommittee on Drugs and Alcohol for the Human Services Committee, I am confident that we can pull all the parties together and work to address addiction treat-ment,” said Kinsey.

A British Open few will ever forgetBeing a left-handed golfer

myself, I’ve always been a Phil Mickelson fan. When the man they call “Lefty” competes, southpaw golfers everywhere seem to be in his corner as if members of some special fraternity.

Well, “Lefty” gave us all plenty to cheer about last weekend at the British Open.

He turned in perhaps his finest performance in a ma-jor tournament, one that will surely go down as one of the best Open Championships ever, and certainly the best at Royal Troon.

And as good as Mickel-son was, it still wasn’t good enough to bring home the Claret Jug to the USA. Lefty did not make a bogey and shot a 6-under par 65 in Sun-day’s final round, the lowest score he has ever posted in the final round of a major. After playing Royal Troon at 17-under par over four days, all Mickelson had to show for it was yet another runner-up finish at a major.

That’s because Sweden’s Henrik Stenson was just a little better. The world’s sixth-ranked golfer finished up his Sunday with a record-set-ting final round of 63 to win his first major with a four-day record score of 264 - 20

strokes better than par and three better than Mickelson.

The two put on a show for the ages through the four days, battling rain, wind and the high grasses associated

with the British Open. The head-to-head battle on the final day was one that will be hard to match. The two went toe to toe, matching birdie with birdie, and long par-sav-ing putt after par-saving putt. Mickelson threw a few hay-makers in there as well, hit-ting an eagle on the fourth hole to pull into a tie for the lead. “I threw as much as I could at him, and he just kept making birdies,” Mickelson would say afterward.

In fact, Stenson made 10

of them on the day, including a 51-foot putt for birdie on the pivotal 15th hole that turned a one-stroke lead into a two-stroke advantage that finally put Mickelson away.

How dominant were the two golfers over four days in Scotland? Their nearest competitor, American J.B. Holmes, was 14 strokes out of the lead and a distant third in the final grid.

Although there have been some great battles over the long history of the British Open, including those waged by Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus, the 2016 Open may be remembered as the best two-way performance ever.

THURMOND PASSES - Basketball lost a giant on Saturday, when Hall of Fame center Nate Thurmond passed away after battling leukemia. He was 74.

I remember watching the 6-foot-11 center play in the 1960s and 1970s, an era when it seemed nearly every NBA team had a great cen-ter. Game in and game out, Thurmond went up against some of the greatest centers to ever lace up the sneakers. More often than not, he got the better of those matchups - Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Elvin Hayes, Willis Reed, Bob Lanier. And Nate Thur-

mond was right there with all of them.

He played 11 of his 14 seasons with Golden State, averaged 15 points and 15 rebounds per game, and recorded the NBA’s first qua-druple-double with 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocked shots in a game against the Atlanta Hawks. He remains one of only four NBA players to pull down 40 rebounds in a game. “He played with unbelievable in-tensity and was simply a man among boys on most nights, especially on the defensive end,” noted fellow Hall of Famer Jerry West.

Thurmond was voted as one of the best 50 players in NBA history and had his jersey retired by both the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, after leading the 1975-76 Cavs to an improb-able run to the Eastern Con-ference finals in the twilight of his career.

Feaster’s takes over first place in WBSL Feaster Excavating knocked off

previously-unbeaten Mengle Coal & Oil to take over the top seed in the Weatherly Basketball Summer League, highlighting “Rivalry Week” Sunday evening at Eurana Park. Luke Medico & Associates, Figas Contracting and TJ’s One Stop were the other winners in Week 5.

David Feaster Excavating 50, Mengle Coal & Oil 44 - This long-time Weatherly rivalry featured two of the league’s top teams, and a battle of brothers between Feaster’s Jon Fogarty and Mengle’s Danny Fogarty. Jon Fogarty showed the way with 18 points, teammate Kyle Harris chipped in with 10, and Feast-er’s pulled away in the final minute to get the win and knock Mengle’s from the unbeaten ranks. The final margin of victory marked the biggest lead of the game by either team in the back-and-forth contest.

The win moved Feaster’s to 4-1 atop a logjam of four teams with identical records.

For Mengle’s, Greg Koneschusky deposited 17 points and Tony Short-way followed with 10.

Luke Medico & Associates 68, Carbon Beverage 41 - With four

players reaching double figures, Luke Medico & Associates got the day started with a convincing win over short-handed Carbon Bever-age. Steven Baade showed the way with 16 points, followed by Nathan Zink (14), Wally Hess (13) and John Natt (10) as the Realtors got their first win of the season.

Donny Hoffman scored a game-high 23 points for Carbon Beverage.

Figas Contracting 56, Citizen’s Fire Company #1 50 - In a game full of passion and excitement, Figas Contracting pulled it out in the end to improve to 4-1 on the season. Mark Scarcella led the winners with 16 points and Tyler Sipler dropped in

13, including a monster dunk. Zach Nenstiel paced the Firemen with 17 points and Scott Corbett added an even dozen.

TJ’s One Stop 59, Zaremba Cleaning 54 - In another close game that came down to the final minutes, Dennis Odom pumped in 23 points and Josh Miller rimmed 17 as TJ’s moved to 4-1 with the five-point victory. Brian O’Donnell topped Zaremba’s with 23 points and Ryan Gimbi had 17.
