Above, the 13 members of the troop and friends gather to talk with their adopted friend. (Post Photo/C.M. Denmon) Brownie Troop #657 greets ‘adopted’ helicopter pilot By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Chief Warrant Officer Charles Lee Murphy's face registered sur- prise as he stepped inside the door of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Shavertown to shouts of “Welcome Home!" The greeting came from 13 members of Brownie Troop 657, who had “adopted” Murphy, a helicopter pilot with the 101st Airborne, serving in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. The Brownies, among them Murphy's niece, Jackie Senese of Trucksville, had written to Murphy while he was in the Gulf, had sent him packages and had made a tape of the troop singing Christ- mas Carols which they sent to him. When they learned Murphy, who had returned from the Persian Gulf, April 5, was visiting his parents at Harveys Lake, they decided to plan a surprise party for him . “Thank you for all of your nice letters and for your packages,” said Murphy, “And I still have your tape. 1 enjoyed it and so did the other men with me. I played it for all of them and they enjoyed it.” Murphy told the Brownies he thought he was coming to thank them for their letters and to tell them something about Desert Storm. - “This is a delightful surprise. You girls are some of my best friends,” he told them. He then spent some time telling the girls what it was like in the Persian Gulf. He described the camels and the many kinds of spiders he saw as well as the snakes. Murphy also told them about the Bedouins who roamed the desert stopping only when they stayed in small shacks to work. “They have no country so they go wherever they want to but they were very friendly. Being in the Persian Gulf was a good experi- ence, seeing a different part of the world and different people,” he explained. When he was finished talking, the Brownies invited him to sitdown with them for the pizza party. “That's great,” he said. “Pizza is my favor- ite. I was happy to get back to the states sol could get pizzaand a cold beer.” Murphy, who has been in the service 21 years, visited students at Westmoreland School, Wednes- day, before he went to the Brown- ies. He returned to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Sunday, and then will be stationed at Fort Rucker, Ala- bama. Pa a < MTN. “BIKES = g hi z= SLL TERRA BMX Repairs & Accessories for Y 2 CANOES ~=.

At the council's April 16th meeting, resident Betty Gray of Warden Place told the board that residents should not be allowed to burn garbage on Sundays in the borough. “It is getting so bad that you can't even sit on your porch with- out being overcome by the smell,” said Gray.

Councilman Ed Kelley noted that the borough does have a burning ordinance but it only regulates what can be burned. “There is a limit to what they can burn,” said Kelley. The council said it would look into the situationand hoped to set up a public meeting to decide if burning Sao be stopped on Sundays.
