Memories from South Wyoming StreetPart 3by marolyn Pensock

In part 2, I asked for more information on the Jewish synagogue on the South side. Im grateful to my friend, Richard Rockman, Executive Director of the Jewish Commu-nity Center, which is now operating from the Agudas Israel Synagogue, for his research. In 1893 several of Hazletons early Jewish resi-dents met in the South Laurel Street home of Louis Rosenbaum. There the group of worshippers founded what was to become the present day Agudas Israel Congregation. From there they continued to meet in sev-eral rented quarters, until they were able to build a synagogue on a lot on South Cedar Street near Walnut. The year was 1898. The congregation continued to meet at this loca-tion as they grew. In 1923, the congregation purchased a lot at the corner of North Pine and Oak Streets and built the beautiful syna-gogue where they worship to this day. Harry Levy, son of the former president of the con-gregation was the architect for the building. If anyone knows anything about the rented buildings the congregation used from 1893 until 1898, please let me know. That small bus station from both parts one and two continue to bring back fond memories to our readers. We ascertained that it was indeed the Edwards Lakes to Sea Bus Company. Mary Ann ODonnell of Hazleton remembers her aunt and uncle taking that bus back to Newark, New Jersey after visiting family and friends here in Hazleton. A gentleman who did not put his return address on the envelope and who wrote a nice sticky note on the inside, but did not sign it, sent me the most marvelous information. He sent a copy of the Edwards bus schedule from January 7, 1964, for Williamsport, Hazleton, Allentown and Philadelphia and all points in between, for their Thru-Liner Bus. It must have provided a great convenience for the small town travelers, even if it seemed a bit tedious, not to mention tiring, with all the local stops. The company ran a great many buses to the New York Worlds Fair in 1964. My anonymous friend said in his note that he departed from this depot many times while he was stationed at Fort Jackson SC and Fort McPherson, GA. The Georges Overhauls business owner, Thomas George, was not Marilyn Gordon's uncle, nor was Thomas Schattie related, as I wrote in our previous chapter. Marilyn got a chuckle out of reading of her new relatives.

Mr. George did own the apartment at 164-66 S. Wyoming St and several others in the neighborhood. Bill Schmeer, a former WAZL radio personality, contributed some names of ad-ditional stores to our re-creation of the busi-nesses of South Wyoming Street, during the last century. Many of these, if not most of these businesses, were lost during the redevel-opment period of South Wyoming and sur-rounding streets. I think have chosen those which were not in part 2 or if so, may have additional information about them. Back in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Bills Dad had a market on the southeast corner of Wyo-ming and Chestnut Streets. Schmeers Qual-ity Market. It was located at 39 South Wyo-ming Street in a double storefront building owned by Bill Patton. Mr. Schmeer did not sell fresh meat in his market, but his brother, Fred had a meat market on the other side of South Wyoming Street. (I also was told that Ifferts had a meat market in that area. I dont know if there is any connection between the two markets, or if they were two separate markets Does anyone know?) Mr. Pattons bar was in the other half of the building. Bill Patton later sold the bar to Mickey and Kitty Diana. After Dianas, the bar became Martinis Bar. There were two apartments upstairs. From Bills description of the building, I figure that the building was divided vertically on the bottom floor and horizontally on the top floor, thereby creat-ing a front and rear apartment. As a Realtor, I have seen other double homes which were built many years ago and which were divided in that manner. Bill and his parents lived in the rear apartment, while Rocco and Mabel Hinkle and son Richard lived in the front apartment. Sadly Mr. Schmeer suffered a fatal heart attack at the age of 47. Young Bill was still in high school and closed the market two years later, after graduation. During the course of our interview, Bill had no trouble counting off many of the bars on the first two blocks of South Wyoming St. Among them were: Leos, Scattons, Kobricks, Pattons, Dianas, Martinis, Della Walshs, Enamas, Colderos and Thrones, which was just around the corner on Mine St. That is the same Hank Throne who appeared in the story of the Sheppton Mine Disaster in our February, 2013 issue. The Cellar Bar , which I wrote about earlier, located in the Milner

Hotel was owned and operated by Danny and Lil Rossi.Our mutual friend, Fred Oberholtzer, had a sister Shirley, who very early in her driv-ing years, crashed her car, (maybe it was the family car, I dont know.) into the lobby of the Milner Hotel as she was trying to make a left turn unto Chestnut Street. Funny, the things people remember. Stefanskys Bar was up the street a block or two. Shulmans had a poultry market in the same block as Della Walshs bar. Ray Schmick had a little grocery store somewhere above St. Gabriels Church, I think. Perinis came along, built and opened their super market at the corner of Cranberry Avenue. Pio DeFant had his Hazleton Tile and Terrazo store next to the Spic and Span Deli . This was adjacent to Ben Rosenbergs used furniture store. Bittenbenders Grocery Store was on the east side of the street along with Bernsteins Bakery. Sara McNelis and I were discussing the old days, when we were talking about the dairies on the South Side of town. She re-members her mother sending her to a dairy, the name began with a P, once a week to by skim milk. Neither of us could remember the name. We remembered Leichmans on East Green Street. What wonderful ice cream. Speaking of ice cream, I remembered the ice cream cones our family would buy from Ha-zle Milk Dairy. Sara finally remembered and sent me an e-mail. The dairy was Parsons Dairy on East Beech we think. It wasnt far from her home. Sara lived in the shadow of St. Gabriel School. But, thats another story. Pat Nester e-mailed that she and her sisters remember so many of the names and places in our story of South Wyoming Street. Their father was Hazletons beloved Dr. Campbell. I will bet that he brought many of our readers into this world. Theresa Perini Davis called in to Panorama with some very interesting information about her dad, Ernest Perini. We had a great talk. Mr. Perini purchased the vacant lot at the corner of South Wyoming St. and Cranberry Avenue. Cranberry Avenue sounds pretty special doesnt it? It was just a fancy name for a street about the width of an alley. After the redevelopment took place, Cranberry Av-enue disappeared from Pine to Laurel Streets and then continued. In 1947, Mr. Perini had a modern, brick and stone, supermarket constructed on that site. It attracted a lot of

business, much to the chagrin of all the many markets already on that street. It was a sign of things to come. Employees in the supermar-ket at various times were: in addition to Mr. Perini, her brothers Joseph and Albert. Some of you may remember that Joe Bove and Sal Beltrami also worked there. They all were kept very busy. Theresas husband delivered orders to help out when he came home from work many times. In addition to running the supermarket, Mr. Perini owned thirteen rental units in the neighborhood and six garages. He had pur-chased a huge house in that block and was able to divide it into apartments .He kept one of the apartments for his own family. Lucy Fornataro was Mr. Perinis secretary, book-keeper and payroll clerk all rolled into one. When Lucy was ready to leave his employ, she recommended that he hire her sister, Car-mella. He did and even, on the rear lot, built a bungalow that he rented to Carmella and her husband, Anthony Lucadamo. I can see why he needed a person to keep all his rent-als straight, along with the store accounts and payroll. Mr. Perini was working two jobs at the time. He owned a rock tunnel business and his company worked for Jeddo Highland Coal Company, tunneling through the hard rock layers, so that the miners could reach the

rich, black, hard, anthracite coal. I asked Theresa about remembering any of the other tenants. Nate and Rita McNeil had the smaller apartment in the rear. Jim and Kathleen Boyle and baby, Jim lived in another apartment. They owned Boyles Fu-neral Home on the next corner and lived in Perinis building while their home was being built on Walnut Street. Gert Riley, whose nephew lived with her, had one of the units. She was the secretary for the Leichtman Ice Cream Company. Joe and Marie Perini and their daughter, Beth Ann, lived in another one. Mrs. OGara and her two girls had one. They owned Isabellas Hat Shop on Broad Street. Theresas brother, Albert and his wife, Marie and daughter, Mary Louise, also took one apartment. Mrs. Perini, Theresas mother, died at the young age of forty-one in the year, 1949. Her funeral took place from Boyles Funeral Home, of course. Some years later, after The-resa had married George Davis, they lived with her father for a time. Theresa had two special neighborhood girlfriends, Jeannie Croll and Nancy Davies, who later mar-ried Jack Lutz. For many years, Nancy was the organist at St. Johns Primitive Method-ist Church on South Poplar Street. It was a sad day when Mr. Perini sold his new market

to the Redevelopment Authority, only to see them knock it down in the name of progress. Soon, it was time to retire and move up to live with his sister on Hawthorne Street. It was great to hear from Sue Farley whose mother, Kitty, was mentioned in our last is-sue. Kittys maiden name was Carlin before she married Jim Farley Kitty worked in the rectory with Kate Conahan for a time. The Farleys still live in the home where John E. Smith, from our last issue, lived before he moved to Delaware. Isnt that something ? It is time to draw this part to a close. My thanks to all of our Panorama readers who took the time to contact me or stopped to talk to me. You can leave me a message at Panorama any-time or e-mail me at [email protected]. P

Dear Readers, I am not taking questions this month because I have some terrible, horrible, no-good news to share with you. Are you ready for this?? My owner got a C-A-T! Can you believe it? What was she thinking (I dont think she was thinking at all)! Let me share with you the major differences between wonderful, loyal dogs and those darn C-A-T-s. There are many minor differences too.

1. ObedienceDog: always obedient. Aims to please. Thats his job.C-A-T: doesnt know the meaning of the word obedient, but does know that you should do whatever she wants.2. HumilityDog: always humble. Accepts himself as he is. Does not try to be some animal he is not.C-A-T: thinks only of herself as evidenced by her

constant and obsessive groom-ing of herself.3. PatienceDog: waits all day for what he hopes for, whether its for you to come home, fix supper, or give him a treat. Never complains if youre late or busy.C-A-T: walks away in a huff (sometimes with her back all high up) if her demands are not met ... immediately.4. SharingDog: shares his love and affection to all at any and all times. C-A-T: demands your love when she feels like it with no thought as to what you want.5. TrustingDog: always. Will come when called no matter what he is doing (sleeping, rolling in smelly stuff outside, eating). He will even force himself to come when he thinks it might be a bath -- be-cause he places all of his trust in you.C-A-T: seldom. Comes when she is in the mood to grace you with her presence. If busy doing nothing, wont come. Bottom line is, everyone needs a dog. C-A-T? Not so much.

Fondly, Virginia Jane

Funfest Banners Decorate New Broad Street Posts

Funfest has new banners this year, and they are being placed on the Broad Street Corridor Proj-ects new light standards for the first time. Work-ers from the Hazleton City Public Works De-partment began placing Funfest banners on the poles late last week. The banners announce the coming of Funfest Weekend September 7 and 8. Nearly sixty red and white banners will adorn Broad Street from Diamond Avenue to the Ter-race section of the City on East Broad Street. Several are also placed along poles near the Inter-modal Center along Mine Street. The vinyl flags were designed by Precision Design of Hazleton, constructed by a Hazleton firm, Sign Spot, and for the first time this year, will also include the logo of Funfests Presenting Sponsor, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Mohegan agreed to a three-year sponsorship commitment of Funfest earlier this year, and their benefits include logo placement on all banners. The flags also display the logo of the local businesses which are indi-vidual banner sponsors. The banner sponsorship program was initiated over twenty years ago as a fundraiser for the festival, and gives sponsors ex-posure before and during Funfest Weekend.

The banners stay up for some two months, announcing the upcoming festival and giving ex-posure to the companies who sponsored them. Banner sponsors will have their companys logo seen by millions of people. In addition, as many as seventy thousand people are expected to be in Downtown Hazleton for Funfest Weekend, of-fering even more exposure to sponsors. Funfest's larger Corporate Sponsors are each allotted two banners, as well as other opportu-nities for exposure. Those sponsors include: Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs (Presenting), Hazleton Standard-Speaker (Gold Sponsor), Ser-vice Electric Cablevision Inc. (Diamond Event Sponsor), as well as Silver Sponsors: Apostolic Faith Church, Blue Cross of Northeastern Penn-sylvania, Cargill, DBi Services, Luzerne County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Motor Transpor-tation Co. Inc., PPL Corporation, and WYLN 35. Bronze Sponsors receive one banner each. They are: Berger Family Dealerships, First Na-tional Bank of PA, Fox 56, Gottstein Corpora-tion, Henkel, Panorama/Bridal Planner/Mojo, and SSPTV News 13. The City of Hazleton is

also listed on a ban-ner, in appreciation for the support that they offer to Funfest. Funfest Banner Sponsors for 2013 are: ARC Electric/Wire Guys, ARCIL, Barber Ford of Hazleton, CAN DO Inc., Citi-zen Publishing Co., Eagle Rock Resort, George J. Hayden Inc., Gr. Hazleton Chamber of Com-merce, Humboldt Industrial Supply, IBEW Local Union 163, Johns Manville, Lackawanna College-Hazleton Center, McDonalds, Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services, Office Max Inc., Penn State Hazleton, Portable Toilets by Bi-ros Utilities Inc., Schumacher Engineering Inc., Weir Minerals, and Zenier's Automotive Inc.

ton, and Sergeant Archie Gilmore. Sadly, Abram Fel-ton was also killed two years later at the Battle of Cold Harbor. Cyrus Straw, a lieutenant from Drums, Pa was in command of K Company at the Battle of Antietam in September of 1862. Lieutenant Straw was wound-ed at Antietam and carried the offend-ing musket ball in his hip until it was removed four years later! Perhaps the most devastating battle fought by the Army of the Potomac was at Fredericksburg, Vir-ginia in September 1862. Under the overall command of General Ambrose Burnside, the 81st regiment would unsuccessfully attack the Confederate position on Maryes Heights. Of the 261 men of the 81st engaged in that battle more than 170 sustained injury. Wil-liam Aubrey of Eckley was wounded in the face and after a lengthy recovery, returned to work in the coal mines of Eckley. He is bur-ied in the Vine Street Cemetery in Hazleton. On the first of July, 1863, Company K, along with the rest of the 81st, was ordered to Gettysburg. The regiment was positioned in the rear to protect lines of communications and to erect fortifications. On July 2, the reg-

Many people realize that Pennsylvania played a major role in preserving the Union during the Civil War (1861-1865). Notable Pennsylvanians include Generals Winfield Scott Hancock and George Meade and argu-ably the turning point of the war was at Get-tysburg, Pennsylvania in July of 1863. How-ever, most natives of this region are unfamiliar with Company K of Eckley, Pennsylvania. Shortly after the bombing of Fort Sum-ter by Confederate forces under command of General P.G.T Beauregard, President Lincoln issued a call for volunteers in defense of the Union. James Miller, a veteran of the Mexi-can War, was ordered by the War Department to recruit in Eastern Pennsylvania. Miller raised six companies from Philadelphia and four from Carbon and Luzerne Counties that became the 81st regiment of the U.S. Army. Company K was recruited by Charles E. Foster, son of Eckley mine partner Asa Fos-ter. Thirty nine men from Eckley enlisted. Charles Foster was made the first Captain of Company K, but had to resign in July 1862 due to illness. Captain Fosters sword is cur-rently on display at the Eckley Miners Village Museum. In October of 1861, company K was mustered into Federal service. It became a part of the 81st regiment, First Brigade, First Division of the Second Corps. The regiment came to be known as the fighting Chippewas. The first major combat seen by Company K was during the Peninsular Campaign at the Battle of Fair Oaks in May 1862. The afore-mentioned James Miller, a colonel, suffered a fatal wound to the head, while at Eckley, families grieved for 18 year old Thomas Fel-ton, the only son of Abram and Elizabeth Fel-

iment moved up and was involved in very heavy fighting in and around the Wheatfield. Later that evening, the regi-ment returned to its former place at the rear of the Union line having lost nearly one half of its effective fighting force. The 81st was not directly involved with repelling Picketts Charge the next day, stay-ing back to assist in the production of fortifica-tions. Only one local soldier is k n o w n to have perished at Gettysburg. P

There is much debate over the origin of the name Shenandoah. It is said to originate from Algonquian-Wakashian American Indians and one theory is that it means Beautiful Star Daughter or Daughter of the Skies. Another theory is that it means Spruce-lined Stream or river flowing alongside high hills and mountains. The area that became Shenandoah, Pennsylva-nia was incorporated as a borough in January 16, 1866, having been laid out by Peter Schaeffer of Pottsville in 1862. The first known resident was a man named Peter Kehley who cleared a patch of land at the center of the valley and built a log cabin there, sometime around 1830. Peter Ke-hley maintained his farm for about 20 years in total isolation. With the discovery and commercial min-ing of anthracite coal in the Southern coal fields from the early 1830s, land speculators began to send surveyors into the northern regions, that is, north of Broad Mountain in search of pos-sible coal lands. By 1850, Peter Kehley had sold his land to the Philadelphia Land Company and several investors sent agents into the area to hold the land and protect their investment. The tremendous need for coal at the outbreak of the civil war fueled the necessity of finding and operating new coal deposits north of Broad Mountain. Thus, in 1862, the first colliery in Shenandoah was opened. This was Shenandoah City Colliery.

Shenandoah grew rapidly with the influx of skilled miners and laborers to work the sur-rounding coal fields. Situated in the Middle Western coal field, Shenandoah had the richest deposit of Anthracite of all the known fields. The Mammoth vein, the largest known anthra-cite coal vein, runs directly under the town. Coal brought thousands of immigrants to Shenan-doah. First came the English mine owners and bosses, then the Welsh skilled miners. These were quickly followed by the Germans and the Irish. By the early 1870s, the Irish were the pre-dominant immigrants to come to Shenandoah. Beginning in the late 1870s, immigration into Shenandoah shifted from the Western European countries to the Eastern European countries, primarily Lithuania, Poland, the Ukraine and Slovakia. As each new wave of immigrants ar-rived in Shenandoah, they set about to establish their own church with services in their native language and eventually to establish parochial schools where their children could be taught both English and their own language and cus-toms. St. Michaels Ukrainian Catholic Church was the first Greek Catholic Church established in the United States in 1884. By 1920, the town had a population of nearly 30,000 residents and the city began taking on an appearance. In the 1930s, Shenandoah boasted 22 nationalities, 22 churches and a large synagogue. As of the census of 2010, there were 5,071 people.

Shenandoah also has a rich heritage of vol-unteer fire companies. The Columbia, Shenan-doahs first Fire Company, was organized on Au-gust 1, 1871. At the present time, there are five volunteer fire companies of which Shenandoah is proud. They are the Columbia, Rescue Hook and Ladder (Hookies), Polish American, Phoe-nix and the Defender. Although coal was the single most important industry in Shenandoah, a number of second-ary industries and businesses helped support the economy. At first, these were related to the coal industry. Railroads were required to move the coal to New York and Philadelphia and Shenan-doah was the only town in Pennsylvania to have depots for the three major railroad companies. In the 1920s, the garment industry began to develop in the area. At its peak, there were ap-proximately 15 large garment factories operating in Shenandoah at one time. One out of every two households had a woman in the Interna-tional Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. This was particularly true in the early 1950s when the community was hard hit by the decline of the anthracite coal industry after World War II. The mines were closing one after the other and coal miners looked to find work elsewhere. The garment industry sustained many families. Unfortunately, years of lost jobs, out migra-tion and a sense of defeat have plagued Shenan-doah. Today, however, the town is on the re-bound and things are starting to turn the corner on economic development. People are returning to the region, some in retirement and many just seeking a good place to raise their families. Houses are being restored, new businesses are opening and Shenandoah is fast becoming the Ethnic Food Capital of the East Coast with Mrs. Ts Pierogies, Lees Oriental Foods, Kow-alonek Kielbasi Shop, Luckys Kielbasi Shop and Capitol Food Markets kielbossi and all the church festivals with their ethnic dishes. In ad-dition, the Shenandoah Borough Council, the Greater Shenandoah Area Historical Society and a newly organized Downtown Revitalization Group have all joined to implement programs that will return Shenandoah to its position as the best town in northern Schuylkill County. Shenandoah and its surrounding patches including Brownsville, Lost Creek, Lost Creek #2, Raven Run, Shenandoah Heights, Turkey Run and Upper and Lower William Penn, is located along PA Routes 54 and 924 in the Up-per Schuylkill Region. It is an ethnically diverse town that expresses its cultural flair through a vi-brant Main Street dotted with a selection of fine restaurants and shops.

On Friday Sep-tember 20, 2013, the 158th annual Bloomsburg Fair will kick off the 2013 with Premier Day. The gates open at 2 pm with a special $3.00 admission and free parking. Lee Greenwood will highlight the day with concert at 8 p.m. Lee Greenwood could easily talk about the accomplishments in his life, but this high energy entertainer prefers to continue writing and recording with the same passion and in-tegrity that has always fueled his stellar career. I want my family to see what I do and not what I did, he says of sharing his passion for music with his wife Kim and their two sons, Dalton and Parker. I like the artistry of it. I could have been a carpenter or a farmer, but I love the spirit of the music. The creative ideas still flow and I am writing much more than I have in previous years. I always love to create something new. To that end, Greenwood has a new seven-song EP titled "I Want to be in Your World", scheduled for a July 25th release. He wrote three of the seven songs & exposes his mu-sical talent on the saxophone on one of the original tracks, Here Comes Love, There Goes My Heart. He also covers the Michael McDonald/Kenny Loggins ballad You Can Let Go Now. McDonald dropped by the studio to play piano on the song. Greenwood claims a string of hits including Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands, It Turns Me Inside Out, Somebodys Gon-na Love You, Holdin A Good Hand, I Dont Mind the Thorns (If Youre the Rose), Shes Lyin, and Dixie Road. He has won numerous industry accolades including, Male Vocalist of the year for the Academy of Country Music in 1983, two Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the Country Music Association, 1983 & 1984 and a Grammy for Top Male Vocal Performance in 1985 for I.O.U.. Also in 1985, he took home CMA Song of the Year honor as the writer of God

Bloomsburg Fair Premier Day

Bless the USA. The song, God Bless the USA has been voted the most recognizable patriotic song in America. The singer knows first-hand what its like to have loved ones fighting for the freedom of all Americans as his father served in the Navy & the Merchant Marine in World War II. God Bless the USA went far beyond what Greenwood expected when he wrote it in the back of his tour bus in 1983. The song has been in the top five on the country singles charts three times (1991, 2001 and 2003), giving it the distinction of being the only song in any genre of music to achieve that feat. It was also #1 on the pop charts after 9/11/01. Greenwood says; USA is the song I al-ways felt the need to write. I wanted to have something that would unite Americans from coast to coast. I wanted to instill pride back in the United States. The song represents my family, my community and those men & women who have paid the price for the free-doms we all love & enjoy. Greenwood performs for many charitable events and gives his time & name to numer-ous organizations and fundraisers. He is the National spokesperson for Products for Good, Operation Never Forgotten and, on the advisory board of the Challenger Com-mission. The singer is also a member of the National Endowment for the Arts Council, a Presidential appointment. Music has always been a part of Green-woods life, even while growing up on a farm near Sacramento, California. He started play-ing the piano when he was seven and the saxophone at 12. In junior high, he started his first group, called the Moonbeams. By the time, he finished High School he played most all the instruments in the orchestra and was the Drum Major for the marching band. Greenwood graduated from high school in June 1960. He passed on a track & mu-sic scholarship to the College of the Pacific along with a professional baseball career. He also elected to skip his high school graduation ceremony because he had a job at the Golden Hotel & Casino in Reno, Nevada with his own band, the Apollos. That turned out to be a great choice. The California native was discovered in

1979 by Larry McFaden, who saw him per-forming in a show at the Nugget Casino in Sparks, Nevada. Larry was the bass player and bandleader for Mel Tillis. He brought the singer to Nashville and got him signed to MCA Records. He began working with producer Jerry Crutchfield, with whom he recorded his debut album It Turns Me In-side Out. The title track became his first hit, followed by Shes Lyin, Aint No Trick and Going, Going, Gone. It would be the first of many albums on three different labels in Nashville. Choosing songs to record is always ex-citing, says Greenwood. Im a songwriter as well and I love lyrics that have depth and emotion. Im thankful for the many writers & artists who have contributed to my career. Greenwood will take his career a step be-yond songwriting this fall when he releases his new book, "Does God Still Bless the USA". It will feature a calen-dar called Prayers of a Patriot and will include two songs, written by G r e e n -wood, for download in the back of the book. P

If youre looking to make a puppy part of your family, check your local shelters first. Not only will you be saving a life, but you will ensure that your money is not going to support a puppy mill. Local shelters, such as Hazleton Animal Shelter and Wilkes Barre SPCA have dogs and puppies for adoption that need loving homes. If youre committed to a specific breed of dog and can't find what you're looking for at your local shelter, con-tact a rescue group for that breed. Most pet shop puppies come from puppy mills. Giving your business to stores that sell puppies supports the horrible puppy mill in-dustry. Even though your intentions may be good, don't buy a puppy with the idea that you are "rescuing" him or her. Your "rescue" opens up space for another puppy mill puppy and puts money into the pockets of the pup-

py mill industry. Pet stores won't leave their cages empty and their website pages blank. The money you spend on your puppy goes right back to the puppy mill operator and en-sures they will continue breeding and treating dogs inhumanely. One of many California city councils has unanimously approved an ordinance prohib-iting sales of dogs and cats in retail stores. New Mexico has also banned pet sales. Other cities in Florida , Missouri and elsewhere are considering similar bans on the sale of dogs and cats. Our clinic sees a vast amount of pet shop puppies that come in for medical help. These puppies are often flea-infested or have life-threatening, debilitating diseases. We, of course, report this to the Luzerne humane of-ficers. If you see someone keeping puppies in poor conditions, please alert your local ani-mal control authorities. The Humane Society is working really hard to try and stop puppy mill sales. Help us stop this cycle of cruelty. Do your research before getting a puppy, and look into adopt-ing a healthy dog from a responsible breeder. P

When it comes to glass-ware, most people think that that best way to spot quality is to ting a glass and listen. If you educate your eyes to spot a high quality piece of crys-tal, you can give your ears the day off. Why? The sound of a ting from a piece of glass is subjective and it may not actually tell you anything about the quality of that piece of stemware. The idea is that a high pitched sound will result in the identification of a high qual-ity and valuable piece of crystal is not always the case. Just because a piece of glass sounds good when you ting it does not mean it is a piece of valuable crystal. Other factors need to be evident to determine if you truly have the real thing. Here are the facts. Glassware (traditional soda-lime glass) contains about 50% silica (sand) and no lead. Crystal contains at least 24 percent lead. That is the basic distinction between crystal and glass. Sounds easy enough, but it isnt that easy. You remember your mother telling you that nothing worth having is ever easy. Most people do not think that their ev-eryday orange juice glass is a piece of crystal. Most of the time your everyday orange juice glass is made of a material called soda-lime glass. Glass in our everyday world is some-thing called soda-lime glass. It is used for products such as windows, everyday drinking glasses, etc. Most glass made in the United States today is made of soda-lime glass which is a combination of lime, silica (sand), and soda. This is cheap everyday glass. No harm, no foul, no big investment. On the other hand, borosilicate glass--called Fire-glass in the early 1900s and now called by its brand name of Pyrex--is a heat resistant glass that does not break when ex-posed to extreme temperature changes. It is a more expensive than soda lime glass. Py-rex was first introduced for the windshields of railroad trains in order to stop window breakage when trains experienced a severe change in weather conditions. Borosilicate glass is mainly used in laboratories and does not easily corrode. Neither of these types of glasssoda lime glass or borosilicate glass--is considered crystal because they do not have 24% lead content.

Crystal is made of silica (sand), lead oxide, and soda and it is known to be beau-tiful and strong. Crystal is a term used to describe any glassware that looks fancy or is used in the service of champagne, wine, or spirits. Crystal is the choice for spir-its and wine connoisseurs be-cause it allows the drinker to assess the color and viscosity of the wine or liquor. If your piece of crystal is very clear, it

probably has a greater amount of lead content than its cloudier counterpart. When it comes to crystal, its reflective quality and the 24% lead content are most important characteris-tics. Crystal shows more clarity than a typical piece of soda lime glass and its reflective qual-ity is why crystal is used for chandeliers, fine wine glasses, and jewelry pendants. Very fine crystallike those pieces made by high qual-ity firms such as Waterfordmay even exceed the 24% lead content requirement and pro-vide products that are upwards of 30% lead content or more. The confusion surrounding crystal is based in history and chemistry. First of all, despite its name, crystal does not have a crystalline structure. And, crystal is a term (cristallo) which was coined by Italian glassmakers in the famous Murano glassblowing center near Venice to define quality glassware which did not meet the European lead content stan-

dard. Crystal is typically thin because it is easier to sculpt glass with a high lead content because the lead lowers the working temperature of the glass. The lead extends the time that the glass blower has to sculpt a piece. Tips for telling the difference between regular soda-lime glass and crystal: Crystal has the following attributes: 24% lead content, bright reflective quality,clear overall appearance, silver or silver/purple color hue, rainbow prism effect when held up to the light, thinner than regular soda-lime glass, and heavier than regular soda-lime glass. In fact, high quality crystal with a lead content over 35% will actually sparkle. If you are trying to tell if you have a piece of cut crystal, place your thumb into the incised or cut design of the piece and if you move your thumb around and you feel as if you will get cut, then you have a piece of cut crystal. Crys-tal will take on the properties of sharp cut-ting. Fine glassware may contain some lead content but if the 24% lead content level is not reached for a specific piece of glassware then a manufacturer cannot by law call that piece crystal. P

Ginos Shoe Store Targets in on Foot Pain!

Ginos Shoe Store is a professional fitting center, specializing in children, youth, and adult shoes in addition to orthopedic work and doctor prescriptions. They have been in business for 58 years selling a large selection of name brand, orthopedic and diabetic shoes. Ginos has a shoe repair facility on premises specializing in orthopedic work such as or-thotics, build-ups for shorter legs, wedges, arch support systems, soles and heels,leather repairs, and miscellaneous items. Ginos primary emphasis is proper fitting and orthopedics. An improper fit may cause

multiple prolems such as Bunions, Corns, Deviated Hallux, Mortons Neuroma, Ham-mertoes, Ingrown toenails, Calluses, and Ten-donitis. Improper fitting shoes redistribute body weight and change how a person walks. This often leads to muscle and ligament problems of the lower legs and eventually to serious foot deformities. With each step we take, our feet cushion a force up to three times our total body weight. Our feet make us mobile and are the most neglected parts of the body. Significant foot pain requires immediate treatment. A well-known foot pain is Plantar Fascitis and Achil-les Tendonitis. Other causes of heel pain are prolonged standing, obesity, previous injury, and high-energy exercises such as running or walking. Symptoms of plantar fascitis and heel cushion pain include tingling or numb-ness of the bottom of the feet, tight and pain-ful arch ligaments, and heel core swelling. For a free foot consultation in regards to pain or fitting call Ginos at 474-6051. P
