Gina Ruggiero Jennings January 22, 1969 - August 18, 2011

One will never find a more selfless person than Gina Jennings. Whether it be her family, friends, acquaintances, or some stranger on the street, Gina always put others before herself. Gina lived life to the fullest. After graduating Pius X High School in 1986, she spent a few years bouncing from job to job, trying to find something. She followed the path of most young adults, working here and there for minimum wage, looking for herself and a career to love. After working for The PRESS previous owner, the late Barry Elrod, Gina purchased the business with Nelson Albert. She loved being co-owner of The PRESS, as well as Editor. As technology progressed, so did the newspaper. Gina always said that The PRESS was different because, Were a happy paper.

From her mother, Liz, who is a saxophone player in the Easton Municipal Band, and her and Dean playing in the band, Garden Weazol. After the band dissolved, Gina continued with her music, giving drum lessons in her home. Faith was also a part of her life, in everything she did. She had faith in her family and friends, faith in herself, and faith in God. Her faith gave us all faith. Gina passed away on August 18th, after a long battle with breast cancer. She was a strong woman who will remain in our hearts forever. We love you, Gina, and will miss you.

She was Vice President of the Bangor Business Association, a group who brings new events to Bangor, and helps new businesses in the

area. She volunteered at the events held by the Bangor Business Association, including the annual Car Shows, Bike Nights, and more.

On January 6th, 1986, the Mt. Bethel Portland Post #216 American Legion received its charter. The American Legion is a congressionally chartered mutual-aid organization of veterans of the United States armed forces founded to benefit those veterans who served during a wartime period as defined by the United States Congress. Post #216 has served the community and veterans for the last 25 years. The American Legion credits a group of twenty officers who served in France in World War I with planning and organizing the first Legion. The first post of the American Legion, Post Number 1 in Washington, D.C., was organized on March 7th, 1919, and obtained the first charter issued to any post of the Legion on May 19th, 1919.

On Saturday, August 6th, the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary Civil Air Patrol Local Squadron 807 launched a large model rocket. Cadets 2d Lt Chris Bugyi and 2d Lt Tara Thrasher launched a six pound, seven foot tall model rocket for their rocketry badges. They participated in building the rocket, assembly of the motor, and launch of the rocket. The large rocket was built for the last stage in the rocketry program. They have to build a rocket capable of carrying a small payload to 300 feet. In this case, they carried a large payload to 3,000 feet! The launch was a success and the rocket was returned on a 45 inch parachute to a field nearby. Cadet Taralyn Thrasher says, I like to watch them launch. Thats the best part. Cadet Chris Bugyi says, It was an awesome experience that has grown to become a hobby. One of the missions of the Civil Air Patrol is aerospace education. The cadet model rocketry program is just a small part of that mission. The program is divided into three stages. The cadets must build and fly five rockets from simple and small to larger and more complex. They must also pass three written tests: history of rocketry, laws of rocketry, and modern

model rocketry. After they complete all of the requirements, they are awarded the CAP Model Rocketry Badge. The objective of the aerospace education mission of CAP is to promote an understanding and appreciation of the impact of aviation and aerospace in participants everyday lives. The local squadron meets Monday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the East Bangor Fire Station. If you need further information or have additional questions, contact Captain Rod Thrasher at 570-2425722 or cathrasher@ yahoo.com or capsquad807.webs.com.

Put A Damper On Mold And Musty Odors

Several organizations, including the Environmental Protection Agency, American Lung Association and American Medical Association, recommend using dehumidifiers to maintain humidity levels of 60 percent or less in the home. High-capacity dehumidifiers, such as the ones from Santa Fe, are the most energy efficient on the market and are designed to effectively operate in the cooler temperatures of a basement or crawlspace. The units help maintain the structural integrity of your home, inhibit mold growth and improve the indoor air quality of your home by removing odor-causing moisture. Humidity has been a constant problem in our basement and my fear was that if the humidity was not addressed, that mold would eventually develop, said one homeowner. The small dehumidifiers I had tried had almost no impact. The Santa Fe took the humidity from over 70 percent down to 40 percent overnight. This was absolutely amazing, as our basement is 2,000 square feet with separate rooms. It feels more comfortable and smells better. The dehumidifier line features an oversized moisture removal coil, regenerative heat exchanger and highcapacity fan, which let the units remove two to three times more moisture per kilowatt of electricity than a conventional dehumidifier. All Santa Fe dehumidifiers feature superior air filtration, capturing allergens down to 1 micron in size.

Your Lawn: Lawn Growing and Mowing Made Easier

(NAPSI)When your yard is saying I want to be a lawn, six tips can help the grass grow greener on your side of the fence: 1. Water rarely but thoroughly. Most lawns need a good soaking to a depth of six to eight inches. 2. Water early, generally before 10 a.m., so that the grass gets to dry before the sun gets too hot. 3. Mow weekly: Regular mowing makes your lawn healthier and easier to cut. 4. Keep the mower blade sharp for a clean cut and to reduce lawn disease. 5. When you mow, cut only a third of the height of the lawn to encourage strong roots. Cutting too short stresses the lawn, creating an environment ideal for weed growth and disease. 6. Get a good mower. To help, leading engine manufacturers are incorporating unique new features into their products that deliver professional results and make cutting the lawn a much easier and more enjoyable experience. When selecting a walk-behind mower, its wise to look at the engine. Select a reputable engine brand and consider these questions: Is it easy to start? With some engines today, priming and choking are a thing of the past. Smart-Choke technology automatically manages the startup process so theres no risk of flooding the engine. Simply pull the cord and go. Is it easy to fill? Filling the fuel tank on many mowers can be a challenge. Engines with Accu-Fill, however, incorporate a unique angled neck as well as an opening that is 45 percent larger than those in most mowers. This translates to easier filling and less spilling of fuel, which is better for the environment. Will it perform? Look for an engine with Consistent-Cut technology. This system delivers more power to the mower in extreme load conditions for a great-looking cut every time-even in thick, wet grass that can stall other mowers. Is it well constructed?

(NAPSI)Musty odors coming from the basement or crawlspace are not only extremely unpleasant but can be both dangerous and expensive to correct if left untreated. Excess moisture is the most common problem in basements and crawlspaceseither coming from outside or produced inside the home by everyday activities. Studies show that as much as 50 percent of the air in a home comes from the basement or crawlspace. In essence, whatever air is below the house is also inside the house. This can contribute to poor indoor air quality and cause uncomfortably high humidity levels. It may lead to costly problems such as cupping of hardwood floors, mold growth, increased air conditioner loads and swelling of millwork and cabinetry. Millions of Americans battle high humidity levels in their homes. If you store anything of value in your basement or if you use your basement as living space, it is important to keep the moisture levels low. Relative humidity levels rising above 50 percent stimulate the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria and other biological allergens, which generate musty odors and can aggravate allergies.

Three local sisters united with their families for their first family reunion. Daughters of Lillian and Charles Comunale are Alda Wahl of Florida, Violet Griffiths of Tucson, Arizona, and Felicia (Snook) Duran of Bath. There were four generations gathered for the reunion.

Recently, fire companies from over 50 companies, along with local ambulance and rescue squads and support groups, were called to assist Plainfield Township in the large Nicos fire. The alarm for this fire went in at approximately 5am and most of these individuals did not get back home anywhere from 12 hours to the following day. My congratulations to the Plainfield Township Fire Co. and our 911 operators for handling this fire in a very professional manner, thus assuring that there were no major injuries. A big job well done goes out to each and every one who assisted in any way, be it fighting the fire, being part of the support group, or donating food and water. This shows what cooperation is all about. I, personally, have 3 generations of volunteer firefighters and rescue personnel in my immediate family (husband, son and grandson are firefighters and husband and grandson are also rescue personnel). Many people forget that these individuals are volunteers and must have many hours of training to perform their duties. The only time that they are remembered is if they are needed. As the members of our local fire companies and rescue squads are dedicated VOLUNTEERS, please support them by responding to their fund drives, coin tosses, breakfasts, dinners and raffles or whatever else they hold to raise the funds to keep their organizations solvent. Large sums of money are needed to constantly update their equipment and maintain their buildings. If you are able to, please send a donation to your local group in appreciation of their dedication and services. If you would like to become a member of one of these groups, just contact a member or call their headquarters for information. Imagine what a tragedy it would be if you needed your local fire company, ambulance or rescue squad and they were no longer there to respond. Pat Kern East Bangor

Mack Honored As Outstanding Fair Ambassador

after a 10 year hiatus he resumed to an elected position as vice president in 1995, which he still holds to this day. Ray is a valuable asset to the fair. With his vast knowledge to call upon, he carries out a myriad of responsibilities each year to see that we have a successful event. He spends many hours working behind the scenes to make sure we have everything we need in place: from ordering tents, coordinating and working with groups to handle the parking and making sure the parking lots are workable, assigning exhibitor space to our vendors and keeping them happy, ordering the dumpsters for garbage and even filling in ground hog holes in the parking areas, according to Susan Hahn, Fair president. A real jack-of-all-trades, Ray is truly the backbone that holds the Plainfield Farmers Fair together for a successful event each year and we sincerely thank him for his dedication. Ray and his wife Robin are the parents to three children: Liz, Emily and Jesse. At one time, Ray held a position on the state FFA Board and is currently active as president of the Northampton and Monroe County Farm Bureau.

Ray Mack was honored as Outstanding Fair Ambassador for the Plainfield Farmers Fair. Barron L. Boots Hetherington, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, special advisor to the Governor and Fair Fund Administrator, made the presentation of the award at the Plainfield Farmers Fair. Ray Mack was born and raised on the family farm in Plainfield Township, a son of Raymond and

Thelma Mack. A graduate of Pen Argyl High School, Ray has spent his entire life involved in the Plainfield Farmers Fair. He started by showing dairy cows as a youth and was elected to his first officer position as Fair Secretary in 1969 at the tender age of 20. During his seven years as secretary, he also doubled as Fair Chairman for threeyears. He served as president from 1982 to 1985, and
