On Oct. 7, 2018, Coal Miners Remembered members dedicated their statue, with 616 accompanying names and two benches in the Blakely Borough Recreational Complex alongside the Lackawanna River. After two and a half years of hard work by many, it finally became a reality. Pete Puhalla from the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Peckville led the Pledge of Allegiance. Mauri Kelly, our secretary and the county Clerk of Judicial Records, led the coal miners prayer. Evie McNuly, the county’s Recorder of Deeds, spoke at the event, as did Rep. Matt Cartwright, state Sen. John Blake and Judge Margaret Bisignani Moyle. The music was provided by Frank Jones. Bob price did the photography. Catering was from Sidel’s Rrestaurant. More than 200 people attended the ceremony and beautiful statue. Please visit the site. We still have room to add a relative’s name to the monument. Call 570383-2879.

Valley Community Library, 739 River St. in Peckville, reminds residents that there is still time to dispose of your old car, truck or camper that is taking up space in your garage or sitting in your backyard. You can donate it to the library to help raise money for the Cars for Books Fund. Your donation is tax deductible for the amount received when it is sold at auction. All proceeds go directly to the library. New car donations tax laws: a deduction can be claimed in the year a vehicle is donated. The taxpayer will be able to deduct only the amount of gross proceeds the organization got from the sale of donated vehicle. To arrange for your donation or for more information, call 570-489-1765.
This is an ongoing program started in 2004. The Ron Lupini “Cars for Books” fund was created in honor of Genevieve Lupini’s late husband, Ron Lupini, former Tax Collector of Jessup for 29 years and a regular contributor to the library. “Ron and I always discussed this kind of program as a fundraiser for the Library,” Lupini said. “My husband was always involved with antique cars and it seemed like a perfect fit.” Lupini, the fund’s chairwoman, has teamed up with Swade Auto Auction, to organize this fundraiser in support of the library’s building expenses. Vehicles donated will be sold at Swade Auto Auction and all proceeds will benefit the Valley Community Library building fund. To date, Cars for Books has brought in 17 cars from the surrounding communities.

Bringing exceptional health care to
your ho ho m mee
My goal is to identify joint problems in your spine and eliminate your source of nerve irritation without drugs or surgery. Specific Chiropractic adjustments can keep your body properly aligned and reduce your pain, naturally. Yes, Chiropractors are real doctors with a very unique purpose! Just like podiatrists are doctors that manage foot disorders and cardiologist are doctors that treat heart conditions, Chiropractors are doctors that focus on correcting spinal abnormalities as they relate to your overall health and mobility. More and more people are turning to Chiropractic care! A recent 4-year study involving over 1.7 million people found that for those patients who used Chiropractic, their total health care costs were reduced for all conditions studied including neck pain and headaches. Yes, Chiropractic care can do what drugs or surgery can not.
Former Mid Valley resident and professional dancer Michael McIlwee will perform as the Nutcracker prince.
