POST PHOTO/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Cimochowski (continued from page 1) Czechoslovakia in early October for more lectures and conferences. During his travels Cimochowski will be honored by Poland's Min- istry of Health for his work. Recently he spearheaded efforts to deliver more than $166,000 of Merlin cardiac monitors for the Litewska Children's hospital in Warsaw. The monitors — which read the patient's blood pressure, breathing rate, heartbeat, blood oxygen level and other important information — are acutely needed in intensive care units. This week manufacturer Hewlett-Packard will install six of them (at $40, 000 each) for free. ¥ Cimochowski alse will VOLE with Dr. Jelonek, who is Litewska Children's Foundation director, “and has been chosen by the State Department to organize Litewska as a model of an American facility for Eastern Europe. “When the country was run by the Communist government, the state told the hospitals what equipment they were allowed to purchase.” Cimochowski said. “Since the new government was elected there has been a great differenc ec. Operating in a Hospiial where many professionals don't speak English can be a challenge, said Cimochowski, who doesn't speak Polish. Fortunately most under- stand enough of the language to overcome any barriers. ‘He. ‘has: made lasting friend- ships with many of Poland's top surgeons, who have taken him to such diverse places as a Silesian coal mine and the memorial at the former Auschwitz concentration camp. : ; He's even found the region from which his orphaned grandfather and great-aun{ emigrated a cen- tury ago. “My friends have really broad- ened my horizons," he said. “Hav- Cat Sheil /I\ Spend a lifetime finding the right job, or a day finding the career of a lifetime.

Some doctors in Poland earn between $200 and $400 a month, while the monthly wages of miners, whose work brings in desperately needed hard currency, is $400.” Cimochowski became inter- ested in volunteering in Poland in 1993, when Dr. Jan Wolannin, who emigrated here several years ago, invited him to have lunch rwith «a visiting, professor, Zbiegniew Religa, who invited him for a visit. Religa was written up in the January, 1988, National Geo- graphic for performing Poland's first heart transplant - without any formal training other than information gleaned [rom scien- ~ tific journals. His photo hangs at Oxford University in Cambridge, England. On his first trip, Cimochowski took his hosts $250,000 of out- dated but still usable heart valves and other equipment. This year will be the second trip for his wife, Karolina, and their four- year old son, George Scott. “Unlike in the United States, volunteerism isn't common, even in Western Europe,” he said. “It hasn't been necessary until re- cently because the governments took care of many of the people's needs.” The newly organized non-profit foundation Friends of Litewska Children's Hospital in Warsaw has made Cimochowski and Congress- man Paul Kanjorski honorary members. It raises friends - a corps of dedicated volunteers in the hospitaland community -and funds to buy much-needed equip- ment and pay for renovations to modernize the hospital's facilities. “I don’t do it for the recogni- tion,” Cimochowski said simply. “want to help them. I get every bit as much from them as I give. It's been a humbling experience.” For more information on the Friends of Litewska Children’s Hospital in Warsaw, call Dr. George Cimochowski's office at 823-0888.

Liquid (continued from page 1) “They have a registered certi- fied consultant company excavat- ing the tanks and they know what they're doing,” said Carmon. “The tanks have been registered with DEP as required according to state and federal laws.” Carmon continued, “The con tractor has already received per- mission [rom the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority to discharge into the sewer.” However, Carmon said, plans may change depending on exactly what is uncovered in the tanks. “If it's pure product, obviously they won't be able to do it. But if it's diluted with rainwater, they should be able to flush it.” Subcontractors Terra Environ- mental were at the plant Monday for 6 1/2 hours to pump the tanks out and flush the liquid into the sewer system. Terra Environmental planned toremove the tanks and surround- ing soil Tuesday and submit more soil samples to DEP. "It took them longer than an- ticipated because the tanks are located too far from the sewer for our hoses to reach,” said DEP walter qualily specialist supervi- sor Eric Supey. "They had to send out for more hose to finish work." Which Doctor (continued from page 1) Leader Dr. Rich Blum, Kingston internist, has a history of Wyo- ming Valley bands, like the old “RPM - Old Stars.” His specially is keyboards, and he says, “For those who are interested, we pack around Leslie speakers and a tone cabinet. This is all state-of-the- art stuff, and we're pretty loud, but we get booked to a lot of private parties. our last ‘public’ appearance this year will be July 27 at the Riverside Jazz Cale. We've got a decent Back Moun- tain following we hope lo see there.” The third doctor is Dean Copely, guitarist and Radiologist at Wilkes-Barre General. Rounding out the musicians are newcomer Jim Clark on drums, and Amy Jones, saxophone. Jones, who also sings, works for Andy Sordoni’s record company Chiar- oscuro. Then there are the vocalists: Doug Takas, an insurance agent, and Lisa Gadomski, housewife and mother of three boys. Lisa says, “I've only been with the band six months but I'm having a ball. They're just a great group.” And still they come: Joelle DeLuca, whose husband owns a music store in Plains, and Karen Blum, realtor and Dr. Blum’s wife. These two with Amy Jones can do a Supremes medley Diana Ross would be proud of. Of course the Shirelles are also heard from...Which Doctor music is basically from the 60s, focused on what was popular when the doctors were growing up and buy- ing records. There is some ven- turing into the 70s and 80s, but when Dr. Freifeld is asked how he would characterize their output, he thought for a moment, and then replied, “Eminently danceable.” He adds, “Although we're on the Internet, we don't need too much advertising. Word-of-mouth does it for us. Those interested can call.” Which doctor? Any one. oe Lake residents may use dumpster for trash Harveys Lake Borough will have a dumpster available for residents on the last Saturday of each month, between 10 a.m. and 12 noon at the Borough garage, off West Point Avenue across from the Lake Noxen Elementary School.
