For Shavertown brothers Vladimir and Ivan Gingo, the collection was a chance to have fun running around neighbor- hoods with their friends while supporting a worthy cause. The cause is an inexhaustible one. Of the approximately two tons of food collected by the Scouts this year, “it will be gone in a couple of months,” said Car- ol Eyet, coordinator at the food pantry in Trucksville. Large families with as many as 10 members will take out 10 gs of food each week from the try. “It seems it goes out as fast as it comes in,” said Eyet. The annual Scout food drive, the post office and school food drives are the biggest communi- ty contributions to the food pan- try and bring in the most food, Ide reported.

I should have waited for the other guys to get there but made the decision to go af- ter them myself because, if they had drowned while I stood there and waited, I don’t know how I would feel.” Park manager Rex Bradish says that everybody involved, including ranger Darren Kram- er who assisted in the rescue, should be highly commended. Bradish has since posted the area closed and hopes fishermen and the public will heed safety precautions the state publishes for safety on and around ice.
