Andrea Carr is dedicated topursuing a career in veterinarymedicine.

The 20-year-old from DallasTownship is so dedicated that,during a recenttripto a spay andneuter clinic at a Native Amer-ican reservation in South Dako-ta, she focused on animal caremore than hygiene.

I think we showered twiceduring the week, said the Mi-sericordia University biologymajor. Baby wipes go a longway.

Carr and her mother, Maria,attended a trip with the HumaneSociety Veterinary Medical As-sociation-Rural Area VeterinaryServices program, a veterinaryoutreach service that aims toprovide free veterinary care torural communities where pov-erty and geographic isolationmake regular veterinary care in-accessible,according to the pro-grams website.

The trip, held during the lastweek of May, included veterin-arians, veterinary technicians,veterinary medicine students,undergraduate students and sup-port staff.

I was looking for internation-al trips, like mass spay and neu-ter clinic trips to third worldcountries, said Andrea. What Irealized was that stateside,

theres a whole other world forveterinary services in rural com-munities.

Andrea was the only under-graduate studenton siteand Ma-ria was the only person on thetrip who did not work in an ani-mal care-related field.

The pair worked as supportstaff members, aiding in the reg-istration and check out of cli-ents. The clinic was held in a firehall on the reservation and the40 participants had to sleep onthe floor of a nearby elementaryschool.

Showers were few and far be-tween 10 showers were locatedat a community center about aquarter of a mile from the site.

There were three males onthe 40-person team, said Maria.We would make the guys show-er last so we could have 10 peo-ple shower at a time.

One day Andrea couldnt wait

for the showers and started herown cleaning trend.

We were given a lot of time toshower, so I went into the ele-mentary school kitchen andused the high-powered dishwasher hose to wash my hair,said Andrea. Pretty soon every-onehad their heads in thesinks.

Maria said the clinic was likeorganized chaos the partici-pants were usually there from 7a.m. until 11 p.m. or midnightand sometimes the clients werethere longer.

We opened at 7 a.m. but itwouldnt be unusual to see peo-ple lined up at the door at 5:30, 6in the morning, she said.

Andrea said the clinic, whichtreated more than 300 animalsduring the week, was an eye-opening experience and one thathelped her get a better grasp onthe importance of the veterinarymedicine field.

Im relatively used to workingin small animal veterinary clin-ics, andthe animalswho come tothem live in loving homes andare well taken care of, she said.Where this clinic was, thereisnt a vet for 50 miles and manyof the people on the reservationdont have the transportation ormoney to get there. Ninety per-cent of the animals we saw havenever been to a vet.

The animalscame to the clinicto get spayed or neutered, whichhelps control the animal popula-

tion, and on the last day therewas a vaccine clinic to help pre-vent the spread of diseaseamong the animals living on thereservation.

Thesepeopletook care of ani-mals the best way they knowhow, said Maria. Theres nodog food or cat food the ani-mals eat what the humans eat.Half a deer carcass could feed afew dogs over the winter. Andmany of the injuries we sawcould have been old injuries.And they were infested withticks Ive never seen so manyticks in my life.

The trip helped expand An-dreas horizons went it comes toapplyingfor vetschool next year.

I think I learned more fromthis trip than I have in years ofshadowing vets, she said.

Andreais pursuing a pre-veter-inary medicine track at Miser-

icordia University, where Mariaworks as an adjunct biology pro-fessor and lab assistant, and An-dreas father, Leo, is a chemistryprofessor.

Science may, indeed, be in An-dreas blood; however, despitethe influence of her parents, shewas never pressured into thefield.

I was encouraged to chooseany career I wanted, she said. Iwasnt pressured even though Ihave biologists and chemists inmy family.

She had been taking care ofanimals on her own since shewas a young girl its part of hernature.

Ever since I was little, Ive al-ways liked animals, said An-

drea. I think it started when Iwas 10; I would just treat any-thing I thought was injured. Iwould do physical exams on sal-amanders.

Andrea has been working withDr. Lynn DAlessandro, of Creek-side Animal Hospital in MonroeTownship, sinceshe was12 yearsold, and she recently did a stintas a veterinary assistant for Dr.John Bucha, of the Harveys LakeVeterinary Clinic.

Shes also a state-certifiedpoultry technician, which allowsher to draw blood from chickensfor testing, something thatcomes in handy for a family thatowns about 50 chickens. TheCarrs also have two goats, twocats and one dog.

On this trip, animal care trumped personal hygiene

A curiosity about the un-known led Jim Fazzi and TonyPiontkowski to set up camerasin cemeteries.

The pair formed DeadlineParanormal about a year ago,and since then the ghost hun-ters have investigated nearly adozen places some have claimedare haunted.

But its not all seeing spookysights - both law enforcementofficials know that investiga-tions can sometimes be allabout the stakeout, which re-quires time and patience.

We do a solid and thoroughinvestigation, said Fazzi, ofTrucksville. We compile re-ports on the happenings and thereports are posted on our web-site. After our investigation, wemake our statements and dis-play evidence. Some groupsdont display evidence but thatswhat were here for.

At a recent investigation inthe Hollenback Cemetery inWilkes-Barre, the duo spenthours setting up infrared cam-eras, using different devices tomonitor changes in electromag-netic frequencies and keepingan eye out for unusual occur-rences.

For all their painstaking work,the pair sometimes comes upempty-handed.

The hardest part is makingsure that its not something else in a picture it could be a leaf,or moisture, or a bug. We try torule everything out, said Fazzi.Well take a thousand shots andthere might be something a lit-tle off towards the end.

Fazzi said it could take aslong as two weeks to completean investigation, which includesvisiting the site, examining allthe evidence and preparing itfor their website.

Theres a lot involved, saidPiontkowski, of Kingston. Wetake numerous photos of thesame area. Its time consuming.

But sometimes the work isworth it. The group visited theHollenbeck Cemetery last yearand captured a full-body appari-tion on an infrared camera,something. Fazzi compared it to

a ghost-hunters treasure.It was a woman who was

wearing early 1900s clothingand she had one hand on herhip, said Fazzi. We didnt seeit happen but we saw it formingin the photos.

Other frightening occurrencesinclude picking up a low, huskyvoice on a digital recorder thathad some colorful words toshare with Fazzi.

It is said that ghosts talk indifferent frequencies and ourears cant hear it, said Fazzi.Our very first EVP (electronicvoice phenomena) was at ahouse in Plains. I was asking thespirit to come out and it cussedat me.

Piontkowski said in the samehouse, after all the equipment

was packed, he felt somethingbrushing his head from his fore-head all the way to the back ofhis neck.

It happened twice, as I wasleaving, he said. I cant explainit. It was weird.

The groups interest in theparanormal stems from experi-ences both men had when theywere young.

In Piontkowskis childhoodhome in Nanticoke, one roomupstairs was always much col-der than the rest of the houseand gave off a feeling that some-one was watching.

My sister slept in there. Onenight she woke up and therewas a little girl apparition, andbehind the dresser that was cat-ty-corner to the wall there was a

red glow, said Piontkowski.My mother slept in there andshe saw it, too.

He would love to go back tothe house to investigate, butlearned the house was recentlysold and is currently being reno-vated.

I dont want to spook thenew owners, Piontkowskilaughed.

The goal of the duo, said Faz-zi, is to find things that cant beexplained and to help others.

Deadline Paranormal is a non-profit organization, and theequipment and investigationsare all funded out of Fazzis andPiontkowskis pockets. In gener-al, equipment ranges from about$50 to hundreds of dollars.

Between full-time work and

having families, the pair makestime to pursue their passion,which they say is all in the nameof finding the unexplainable.

People want to believe whatthey want to believe, saidPiontkowski. Were not out topersuade anyone. You judge foryourself. But we dont put whatcan be explained on our web-site.

ONLY

YESTERDAY

By Samantha Weaver It was beloved American comedian and film star Groucho Marx

who made the following sage observation: Theres one way to findout if a man is honest -- ask him. If he says Yes, you know he is acrook.

The ancient Egyptians were known to use crocodile dung as acontraceptive.

You may be surprised to learn that when the hit 1950s TVshow I Love Lucy had its premiere, Lucille Ball was already 40years old.

Talk about sneaky: In order to get a photo of Bing Crosby in hiscoffin, The National Enquirer tabloid had a reporter dress as apriest and sneak into the private funeral service. To top it off, on hisway out of the service, the disguised journalist told ABC reporterGeraldo Rivera not to pester the family at such a sensitive moment.

Every year, about $500 million is spent on beads for MardiGras.

Ever wonder how the statuette taken home by winners of theAcademy Awards got its nickname? Evidently, in 1931 a secretary atthe Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences saw the statuette

for the first time and exclaimed, "Why, he reminds me of my UncleOscar!" The comment struck the fancy of a reporter who was pre-sent, and he put it in a story about the awards, and the namestuck.

Are you acersecomic? If your hair has never been cut, you are. Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was not himself a slave owner.

He reportedly did not believe in the institution of slavery. If this is an average week, three manmade artifacts hurtling

into the atmosphere from space will crash into the Earth.

Thought for the day: The world is round; it has no point. -

It was a great ride for the BobHorlacher 9-10 year old softballteam but a heartbreaking 3-2 de-feat to Canal of Delaware in theEasternRegional Tournament onWednesday wasa bithard to take.

Canals Jules Kolek got a pieceofa pitch thrownby Horlacherre-liever Hope Jones and, with twoouts in thebottom ofthe sixth in-ning, drove home Mallory Weirand Kelsey Higgins with the ty-ing and winning runs in a gameplayed in Old Forge.

Jones pitch to Kolek was onthe outside part of the plate andKolekflicked thebat through thestrike zone. The ball arced overfirst basemanSarahKuderka andfell in front of right fielder ErinDunn just inches inside the rightfield fence.

The perfectly-placed hit easilybrought in the runners from sec-ond and third.

Jones retired four of the firstfive batters she faced via strike-outs, pitching carefully around

clean-up batterWeir. Higginswasdown to her teams final strikebut forced a 14-pitch attackagainst Jones before earning awalk.

Jones had 22 strikeouts in 121/3 innings on the mound.

Horlachers Faith Jones hadtwo hits, giving her seven for thetournament.

Horlacher was scheduled toplay in the tournaments third-place game Thursday afternoon.

Gensel said the race recentlyinstated a new start time, aboutan hour earlier than in previousyears, in order to avoid heavytraffic. She also said natural gasand other energy developmentsin thearea have maderace orga-nizers more awareof trafficcon-cerns.

Our basic number one con-cernis safety of theathletes.Wehave the issue now with the(natural gas industry) theywork 24/7, said Gensel. Thesite manager of the windmillproject (in Noxen) has been ve-ry cooperative to make surethe trucks dont interfere withthe race.

Dallas Township Police ChiefRobert Jolley said the entireforce comes out to ensure thesafety of athletes during the

event.Its a daywhen nooneis off,

he said. We have themaximumeffort because of the number ofintersections. It takes everybo-dy I have, and we use every sin-gle vehicle.

Jolley said the most danger-ous part of the race is when bik-ers cross State Route 309 inKunkle he ensures thereare atleast two officers on the sceneand has signs posted for driversto slow down and be alert dur-ing the event.

Around here, were all awareof the triathlon, but somebodytraveling from Monroe Countyhas no clue and there are allthese bikes, said Jolley. Everyyear, were greatly concernedfor the safety of everyone in-volved. (The race organizersare) well aware of it. Its just adifficult thing to deal with.

Gensel said the highwaycrossing is a great concern andbelieves the route will need tobe tweaked in future yearsin or-der to accommodate the in-

crease in traffic over time.I talked to some of the ath-

letes that have been in the racefor 30 years and asked for their

help, said Gensel. Im an orga-nizer, soI asked for their helptotry to find a different route fornext year. I dont know if pos-sible,but Id like to try. Its still asafe route, but maybe we donthave to go over 309. We mayhave to go over it sooner or lat-er, but were going to try andsee, find alternatives, see whatdoes work.

Jolley said not only has thepopulation increased in theBack Mountain, but also theway people spend their time,which he believes affects theSunday morning traffic pat-terns.

It used to be that Sundaymorning was a nice quiet morn-ing with everyone home, saidJolley. Now, it looks like Mon-day morning.

Thanks to local law enforce-ment and the municipalities inwhich the eventis located,Gen-sel said the race can continuefor another 30 years.

We couldnt do it withoutsupport from the Back Moun-

tain community, from the fireandambulance,to thepolicede-partments to council mem-bers, she said.

the wait.

I think its coming along verywell, he said. With the impa-tience comes a sense of perfec-tion. Though its taken as longas it did, soon the inconve-nience will be eliminated anddown and upstream flooding

may be alleviated.Wilkes said plans to recon-

struct the Chase Road culvertare in the works and that roadwill be blocked to the public notlong after Hillside Road is reo-pened.
