3 The Dallas Post NEWS Sunday, November 21, 2004 Bargains and baked goods For about a decade, vendors and bargain hunters have turned out for flea markets held at Mountain Grange 567 in Carverton. Janet Beane, whose husband Ralph is Master of the Grange, said pro- ceeds from table rental and food sales help maintain the cinder-block building, which was built after a devastating arson fire 12 years ago that destroyed the previous facility. The small organization — ane says there are now 23 embers, not all of them active — must among other things keep the building heat- ed year-round to avoid frozen pipes and other damage. PHOTOS FOR THE POST/ CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Steve and Bob Rocco from Larksville, were interested in some of the hunting gear they found. RESCUERS — (continued from page 1) given what happened next. As Brent Schuler returned ward the docked boat after king up a replacement wake pom. Austin slipped and fell on the throttle. The boat took off, sending Mindy reeling to the stern. The boat then charged into a nearby dock, and the two older children were thrown out. The boat overturned, trapping Mindy and Austin, the youngest, underneath. Mindy managed to get out, and Brent began a series of unsuccessful attempts to locate Austin under the boat. Robert Makaravage, who was fishing nearby, quickly arrived at the chaotic scene and jumped in to help Brent Schuler find his son. By then, volunteers from the fire hall had come over as well Working together, they pulled the boat out of the water, and found the boy. “We thought he was pretty much gone,” Mindy said.

For some years now, scientists have known that the inflammation that triggers arthritis pain is prompted by an enzyme-protein complex called cycloaxygenase-2 (COX-2). They also know that when COX-2 is inhibited, inflammation and pain are reduced. So here’s the puzzle: Drugs such as Vioxx and Celebrex effectively block COX-2 and bring relief to arthritis patients, but as we've seen over the past few weeks, the side effects can have dire, even fatal consequences. The solution is obvious: Inhibit COX-2 without raising heart attack risk, without damaging the liver or kidneys, and without upsetting the digestive tract. Mainstream drugs haven’t solved this problem, but there are natural alternatives that reduce swelling and pain through the same or alternative biochemical pathways. 3 prominent examples are: 1. EPA/DHA (aka. omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil) are the precursors to the bodies natural anti-inflamitories. Make more anti-inflamitories yourself and eliminate the need for painkillers. 2. Enteric coated proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain and papain are important in maintaining the equilibrium between clotting and clot lysis (clot-busting), speeding tissue repair. 3. Spices such as ginger and red pepper and foods such as onions and garlic inhibit COX pathways, reducing swelling the same way NSAIDS do without the side effects. If you are looking for a Doctor who can help you put together the pieces with well- documented scientifically sound ways to reduce swelling and pain without drugs, you just found him. Please call for an appointment with Dr. Madeira today. Nelson CF, Metz D, Legoratta A, LaBrot T. Effects of Inclusion of a Chiropractic Benefit on the Utilization of Health Care Resources in a Managed Health Care Plan. Presented at the World Chiropractic Federation “Helping you feel better and achieve more through Chiropractic” Twin Stacks Center 1172 Memorial Hwy ¢ Dallas 570-675-4773 Lake-Lehman clears path for sale of old school to church By JANINE UNGVARSKY For The Post LEHMAN TWP. — The Lake-Lehman School District has moved to clear the way for the sale of the old middle school to a local church. At its Nov. 16 meeting the school board voted to absolve Lehman Township and its board of supervisors in the dis- solution of the defunct Lehman Township School Authority. According to district Solicitor Charles Coslett, this should clear the way for the township to formally dissolve the school authority it created and allow the sale of the former middle school building to the River of Life Fellowship Church for $70,000. Title research turned up what Coslett termed a “cloud” on the title when it was deter- mined that the authority, which last met in 1991, still technically owned the school. The action also allows board President Jim Mahon and the board secretary to execute any documentation necessary to complete the sale. The matter awaits action by the Lehman Township solicitor, Coslett said. In other business, the board approved a five-year contract with Back Mountain Transit and Kabata Transportation for bus transportation for stu- dents, effective July 1, 2005. Last week, the board had discussed putting all trans- portation contracts out to bid. After the meeting Tuesday, Mahon said the new contract continues the relationship between the district and two contractors who have provided excellent service to the dis- NOW OPEN - ACCEPTING ENROLLMENTS Homework Café A stimulating environment that, Homework Cafe is a stimulating after school program located in the Back Mountain area providing children grades 1-6 (with exceptions) from any area or school district with a quiet, relaxing and nurturing environment using elements of feng-shui where children can: * Relax at the juice bar with a nutritional snack. » Get extra help in a specific subject by a PA certified teacher. * Do homework with expert help available in the homework room. 5 Dug Road ® Shavertown, PA ® 570-696-6701 Directions: From Rt. 309 - 309N. to traffic light, right to Carverton Rd., right onto Dug Rd. trict. He added that the dis- trict is still considering how to handle the numerous car and van transportation routes. “There’s been a problem with how those were awarded. We'll form a committee and look at the way we're doing things.” There was some dissension in the board regarding the hir- ing of a guidance counselor. Susan Ryan was hired at a salary of $37,044. Board mem- bers Mahon, Charles Balavage and Sheila Gionfriddo voted against the appointment. Before the vote, Gionfriddo expressed disappointment that the board had not chosen the person recommended by the administration. “I have a great deal of confi- dence in their expertise in choosing the best candidate,” she said. In other personnel matters, the board made the following appointments: Courtney Giuliani, secondary Spanish teacher at a salary of $34,765; Wendy Garrety, mentor teacher at a salary of $466; David Madajewski, director of building and grounds (full time status granted after com- pletion of probationary peri- od); Ruth Daron, health room secretary, $8.25 per hour, 200 days per year; Terri Novack, part-time food service worker, $8 per hour; Judy Heller, food service worker, $8.75 per hour: Karen Wnuk, food service worker, $8 per hour; Jean Lipski, junior class adviser at a salary of $1,059. The board also accepted with regrets the resignation of Cathy Speace, health room assistant, and Sandy Dobrowolski, head cheerlead- ing coach. enhances the mind Reservations Early! § Light Up Your Holiday Season Christmas Decors Custom Lighting Program Sales & Installation of quality outdoor lights Garlands, wreaths and bows Take down, packaging & storage Home mounted lights will be installed with durable clips instead of nails or staples.
