Bethel Woods Receives Grant
Yankee RailRiders Promotions
T-Shirt Tuesday Highlights Daily Promotions in
2014
Season-Long Promotions for
Everyone
Moosic, Pa. –
The folks of NEPA said they wanted them back in 2013, and the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) delivered. The
gifts that were sought? Giveaways. Come the 2014 season, the RailRiders plan on
kicking it up a notch. The biggest change in the team’s wildly successful daily
promotions will be the move to free T-shirts before every Tuesday home
game.
“Everyone loves giveaways,” said RailRiders
president/GM Rob Crain. “And there are not
many giveaways that everyone can enjoy more than a T-shirt. We feel like we have
assembled an exciting set of daily promotions and can’t wait for the season to
get here.”
In 2014, PNC Field will keep the family full with one
of the easiest and most affordable dinners around on “$1 Hot Dog Mondays” when
hot dogs are just a buck for every Monday night game.
Then comes the welcome new addition, “T-Shirt
Tuesdays”. Each Tuesday throughout the campaign will see 1,500 T-shirts given
out at the gates with a different shirt each time.
The family dining deal that trumps ‘em all comes on
“Kids Eat Free Wednesdays”. Children 12 & under will be given a coupon at
the gate for a free kids' meal at Wednesday night games. The meal will consist
of a Berks hot dog, a bag of Utz potato chips and a small Pepsi
product.
Gather your friends for the “Thirsty Thursday”
promotion of $1 Bud Lights and $1 Pepsi products. In addition to the
price-reduced beverages, let loose and rock out with a live pre-game
band.
Come to the ballpark early on Fridays to join in on
the pre-game block party festivities and live music. But that is just the
opening act, for following a “Friday Fireworks” game, you are encouraged to stay
for some of the most incredible professional firework displays Northeast
Pennsylvania has to offer.
For those asking about the buzz word we got started
on, giveaways, look no further than the next day of the week. Each “Giveaway
Saturday”, the RailRiders will have both a special giveaway and a live pre-game
band.
The “NEPA Honda Dealers Sunday Family FUNday”
experience puts a bow on it all as players sign autographs and carnival acts
dazzle before the game, while after it your kids can get down on the field and
run the bases of PNC Field just like the players.
A more detailed promotion and giveaway schedule will
be released at a later date. Daily promotions will not be valid on school day
games and weekday day games. Below is a summary of the daily promotions and a

Baldo Bags Trophy Goat
TERRACE, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Retired Roscoe educator Dan Baldo
has a hunting passion passed down from his grandfather who he is named after and
that passion paid off recently when he shot a mountain goat in Terrance, British
Columbia that will make the Boone & Crocket (B & C) record
book.
Dan described his grandfather as an Italian immigrant who
worked for the D & H Railroad and had a sports shop in Oneonta and gave him
his first shotgun (a Browning 16 gauge auto-5) at the age of 12. "We spent my
hours afield together and later in life I learned even more from Ken Cole who is
retired from IBM and lives in Binghamton.
Baldo noted that he was hunting with Milligan Outfitting
(Bob & Michelle) in Terrace, British Columbia and "on September 22 Scott
Miller (guide) and I flew into Fuch Lake that has an elevation of 1,700 feet and
the lakes are glacier fed and this location is on top of the Pacific
Range mountains and on the shoulders......just beautiful."
Dan pointed out that "after spending 40 hours in the tent
(reading a book) due to the really poor weather conditions we waited for the
weather to clear and started out to hunt."
During the process of setting up the tent in driving rain
the tent was very wet inside, "but thanks to proper equipment we and our gear
kept dry," Baldo said.
Dan described an experience he had during the night when "I
thought I heard thunder which turned out to be a rock slide and that is why the
outfitter told me there were only two options for a safe campsite."
"Never saw a slide but heard three during our stay and one
was such that a slight vibration could be felt," Baldo said.
On September 24 Dan said it was still raining but that since
it was beginning to clear "we decided to put on our rain-gear and
hunt."
The first mountain goat they saw was over a mile away which
required the use of a row boat to cross the lake. Baldo stressed the fact that
the terrain was very steep and wet and that it was almost impossible to keeps
ones footing.
"I fell uphill and downhill and was feeling bad until I
realized that my guide, 24 years old, a six footer and rugged as an ox is
falling as well and I wish I had counted the number of times I fell," Dan
said.
It took Baldo and the guide several hours to realize that
the "Billy" (the mountain goat they were stalking) was only about five years of
age and too small and that they could do better finding an eight year
old.
From their new vantage point they could see six goats about
three miles away on the other side of the lake above their tent which they could
not have seen from the campsite because of the lay of the land.
While ascending downhill to the lake he heard Scott the
guide yell as he apparently slipped and rolled and slid some 100 feet suffering
a scraped right hand and bleeding and at that point in time they had to perform
some first aid.
They saw many blueberry bushes during this hunt and often
helped themselves to the ripe fruit.
"Once across the lake we started another ascent and after
two more hours we were within 800 yards and saw three billy's, one nanny and one
kid but were a little nervous because we did not know where the other goat was
and did not want to spook them," Baldo noted.
From their vantage point in a boulder field they used large
rocks for cover and the two moved slowly and quietly to within 200 yards but
they encountered two very large rocks in front of them and knew it was
impossible to go around them or over them without being seen.
A major decision had to made at this point of the hunt as
the two decided to squeeze between them but had to walk through two and a half
feet of water.
"We knew water would would be in our boots and that is this
stalk was not successful we would not be able to hunt the next day until all was
again dry," Dan said.
Baldo was reaching the important critical point of this hunt
as guide Scott glassed (looking through binoculars) and quietly told Dan is was
165 yards and that the lower billy was the one and was still 165
yards.
Baldo described the hunt at this point saying, "my 300 WSM
Browning was on at 100 yards and two inches low at 200 yards and so I knew the
shot was mine. When I looked through the scope the cross-hairs were all over the
place. Excited...I stopped, took a deep breath and started over again. By now
the billy had turned to give me a perfect quartering shot and the
hunter/experience in me took over. The cross-hairs were dead behind the shoulder
when I felt the kick and the goat immediately went down....I worked the bolt but
felt a hand on my shoulder and Scott with a big grin said it is all
over."
Scott asked Dan what he had been thinking just before the
shot and his response was "after all the falls I was just hoping the gun would
still be on and I asked Scott what he was thinking and he said I was praying
that the Lord had given me a client who could shoot straight because you just
harvested a B & C mountain goat."
As they approached the downed goat Baldo said, "I knew he
looked big but had not idea."
For a goat to make the record book is must score 50 or
higher and this is determined when they measure the length of the horn and
circumference at four different points.
Baldo's goat green score (score right after the kill) was in
the mid 50's and they then waitr six months and measure again after the horns
have dried and shrunk and they then must still measure 50 plus.
Dan's mountain goat is such that it will still be well above
50 after the drying period. The world record for horn length is 11 inches and
Baldo's is 10.25 some 0.75 inches shorter but as Baldo noted, "sound close but
that other 0.75 inches is very hard to come by."
When asked about the overall hunt Dan said, "I must say
that his hunt was the most difficult I have ever been on....even
more strenuous than by Dall Sheep hunt and I am blessed to be able to have done
this at my age and with two artificial knees."
Baldo started teaching science in Roscoe in 1962, was
associate Dean of Students at Hofstra University in 1969-70, came to Sullivan
County Community College and spent most of his time as Athletic Director and
Admissions and retired in 2002 as Director of Admissions.
Dan and wife Gwen celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary
on June 22 of this year. Their two sons, Anthony is an engineer at Hersey
Corporation in Pennsylvania and Jay is a counselor at New Hartford Central
School in upstate New York. They enjoy many good times with four grandchildren.
Both Dan and Gwen are avid golfers with Dan serving on the Twin Village Golf
Club Board of Directors and is in charge of upkeep and maintenance of the greens
and fairways.

Exner Leaves Great
Memories
He wasn't a big time politician or a famous entertainer but
the love shown for Francis "Frank" Paul Exner when he was called home to the
Lord on October 7 will be fixed in everyone's mind forever.
Hundreds lined the funeral home parking lot during
visitation and the funeral service at the Ulster Heights United Methodist Church
saw the main sanctuary and the video equipped basement filled to
capacity.
So who was this man that so many paid their respects
to?
Frank loved the world but not some of the politics that are
going on today. He always said hello to folks, loved to have conversations, was
always known as a kind, hardworking family man who loved his children and took
great joy in watching his grandchildren as they grew up and participated in
school athletic and various elementary and high school activities.
Grandchildren and family activities were a big part of
Frank's adult life and he enjoyed so much sharing his time with them in hunting,
fishing, boating and snowmobiling.
The computer was another activity Frank enjoyed and we and
many others will miss the great words of wisdom he shared with us.
Born in Ellenville he made his home on Thunder Hill Road,
Woodbourne where he enjoyed raising and being close to his family. He was a
retired Corrections Officer from the Eastern Correctional Facility in Napanoch,
was a past president of the Woodbourne Fire Department and was a lifetime member
of the Woodbourne Ambulance Corps.
Frank and his wife Helen (Sis) owned and operated
the
Rainbow's End Daycare for the past 35 years and to the kids he was their beloved "Frankie".
Rainbow's End Daycare for the past 35 years and to the kids he was their beloved "Frankie".
God played an important part in Frank's life as he was a
devout and active member of the Ulster Heights United Methodist Church where he
served as a Sunday School teacher, lay speaker, member of the choir and many
various positions through the years.
He was always in the audience in support of many athletic
events and activities his grandchildren participated in.
Memories will never be forgotten and those of Frank will be
cherished forever by the many lives he touched.
Fond memories of a great man will always keep Frank in our
hearts and minds.

Conner Scores First
300
Forty-five year-old Ellenvillle Central School Coach Merrill
Conner knows what the sporting terminology
"substitute" means and he responded the best way he could by
producing his first career 300 October 9 in the Wednesday Men's league at
Kiamesha Lanes.
Conner, who resides in Napanoch bowls on the All County
Insulation team which uses a rotating roster and he was not scheduled to bowl
October 9.
Members of the team include William Mitchell, Tom Mitchell, Dave
Garlinghouse and Shane Conner.
Merrill's nephew Shane was unable to bowl that night and so
Merrill was called in as a substitute and delivered big time blasting the maples
for a 209, 228, 300, 737 series and at one point between the end of the second
game and during the third game rolled 18 strikes out of 19
frames.
Coach isn't a nick name for Conner who is employed full time as
a NYS corrections office at Eastern Correctional Facility in Napanoch and also
is the assistant varsity football coach at Ellenville Central and additionally
is the varsity wrestling and baseball coach at Ellenville.
Merrill noted that he has yet to score an 800 series and his
average in the only one league he bowls in is presently 222.
Bowling since the age of 11 his first years of bowling were in
the Ellenville Bantam league and he has leaglue bowled at Ellenville Lanes,
Liberty Lanes and Kiamesha Lanes for the past 27 years,
"I've always been just a one night a week bowler mainly to get
together with friends," Conner said.
All strikes were in the pocket on lanes 13 and
14.
Merrill is married to his wife, Gwen.
Ed's
Outlook
The Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA) is
looking for a new executive director.
Steve Johnson announced his resignation recently stating
"after my years of service and undergoing the challenge of leading and
implementing a number of initiatives for the association, it is time for
new leadership........ and I'm proud of the progress and accomplishments we've
made at the BPAA.
Johnson will pursue another opportunity outside of bowling but
there were no statements as to what that new position would be.
.
BPAA President Calthy DeSocio thanked Steve "for his leadership,
marketing acumen and his dedicated years of service and we greatly appreciate
all that he has brought to BPAA."
The BPAA board of directors will begin a national search for a
successor.
The BPAA is headquartered in Arlington, Texas at the
International Bowling Campus and provides its members with group purchasing
programs, business and educational seminars, legislative representation
and proactively promotes the association and the bowling
industry.

The
Bowling Tip
By Mike
Luongo
Bowlers: This weeks tip will help you execute and repeat good
shots by having your body set properly so that you can use the laws of physics
to roll the ball and eliminate tension in your swing.
As I've mentioned in previous columns, too much upper body and
head movement make it very difficult to repeat shots.
The purpose of the stance is to place the body in an athletic
position, eliminate all unnecessary movements during the approach and reduce
tension.
Resting forearms against the body, in the stance, will help
reduce tension in the upper body.
How do we do this?
Here are the four steps in the proper order for setting
posture.
1. Set the feet (toward your break point).
2. Set your head (tilted over the ball).
3. Set your posterior (this is your balance point as you are
swinging a heavy object).
4. Set the ball position close as noted above.
You are now in position to start a smooth approach. Maintain you
body position and let the ball swing under your shoulder. You will find this
easy to repeat shot after shot.
Note: Watch the PBA and note the body positions but keep in mind
that your exact body position may vary to accommodate different physiology.
Also, if your ball does not fit, it will be difficult to eliminate tension from
your swing.

Flu Shots May Not Be The
Answer
Today we find a lot of hard sell from doctors, government agencies,
medical facilities and even drug stores telling us to line up for our flu
shots.
"Nothing could be further from the truth," says Dr. Julian
Whitaker, MD, founder and director of The Whitaker Wellness Institute, the
largest alternative medicine clinic in the United States located in Newport
Beach, California.
Dr. Whitaker reports "that you may think immunization is your only
hope against a bad case of the flu and while immunization may reduce your risk,
it's far from a sure thing."
Flu s shots, according to Dr. Whitaker, "certainly don't protect
the numerous other bugs that cause the majority of respiratory infections and a
study in "The Lancet" found that flue shots do not reduce risk of pneumonia in
people over 65, in fact during peak flu season pneumonia rates were actually
higher in vaccinated individuals."
Researchers concluded that the lack of benefit means one of two
things.......either influenza is not a primary case of pneumonia or the vaccine
is ineffective.
The study involved people over 65 living on their own and previous
research suggests that flu shots may be advisable for frail older people in
assisted living facilities.
As a world renowned doctor in the nutritional field Dr. Whitaker
pointed out that "for the most of us..and that includes children--the current
scientific research doesn't even come close to supporting the wildly overblown
claims about the value of flu shots."
In support of his nutritional values and research Julian offers his
opinion "that this doesn't mean you should go through flue season unarmed and
that the most important step you can take is to increase your daily dose of
vitamin D3 as this has a profound effect on the immune system.
After reading and hearing interesting alternatives offered by
medical experts the best advise we offer is to discuss this information with
your physician and decide for yourself whether or not you're an appropriate
candidate for vaccination.

Ed's
Outlook
The United States Bowling Congress (USBC) and the Bowling
Proprietors Association of America (BPAA) are making an investment of $5 million
in support of a new youth membership and activation program.
The new program significantly lowers cost for families and
establishes a bowling industry field staff dedicated to youth
intiatives.
The new USBC Youth membership is $4 and includes a
membership card, a certified average and the eligibility to participate in USBC
certified events. All current based USBC Youth memberrship products will be
discontinued.
Simple upgrade options for Bowlopolis and Junior Gold
programs will remaIn the same.
Bowling centers, rather than USBC local associations, will
have processing responsibility under the new program.
The new youth membership structure and investment from BPAA
and USBC changes the model to enhance affordability and ease
of participation.
We salute these two organizations for moving forward and
embracing a vision that includes a tangible commitment that hopefully will
protect bowling's future as these changes gives everyone the opportunity to
attract new youth bowlers.

Bowling
Tip
By Mike
Luongo
The tip this week is for all bowlers but will be especially
beneficial to youth and beginning bowlers.
Many bowlers worry too much about their steps and footwork,
giving very little thought to their upper body position. In the past, most new
bowlers were told that you must use a four step approach and push the ball away
on the first step.
This advise was generally imparted lby someone with the word
"Coach" lettered on their shirt. Unfortunately, this advise is pure
rubbish.
First of all, all bowlers have different body types,
different flexibility and different lengths to their arms and legs. So how is it
possible that everyone can effectively use the exact same four step approach?
They can't.
If you look back at the legends of the game, did any two
bowlers have exactly the same style? No.
The most important thing is to get the bowler's body in the
correct position....head over the ball with the bowling shoulder titled to the
ball side. In this way, the feet will go where they must so that you do not fall
down.
The bottom line is if you are someone that works with new or
youth bowlers, you must understand that everyone has different physiology so
need to help them get their body into the correct position and not focus on how
many steps they take (or how these steps are taken) to get to the foul
line.

Thank God For Volunteers
In taking a few hours out of our recent Tennessee-Virginia vacation to ride
along with my brother-in law on his weekly mission to deliver food to the needy
it became so evident to me that I began asking where is this great country of
ours when it comes to helping those in need.
Dave and Barbara Cross of Spring Hill, Tenn., former Sullivan County residents
of both Liberty and Monticello where Dave was employed by New York State
Electric & Gas Corporation , are active members of the Spring Hill, Tenn.
United Methodist Church. Through an agreement with local grocery stores and
pizza restaurants members of the church pickup day old bread and pastry and
pizza pies that customers did not come and pickup.
My brother and sister-in-law then travel several miles outside the city to a
small trailer (mobile home) park to distribute the bread and pizza that was
picked up earlier that day.
It was quite evident by the overall condition of most of the homes that
whatever help could be given to these folks is greatly needed and very much
appreciated.
It was good to hear the recipients of this food say "thank you and God bless"
to us. I had a brief opportunity to talk with several residents there and as I
got back in the truck my thoughts were why is this happening in this great
country of ours.
We spend millions and million to help feed the needy in other parts of the
world but we fail sometimes in seeing poverty and need that is staring us right
in the face.
If it wasn't for volunteers, church programs and food pantry's set up to help
the poor I dread to think what the end result for many of those in need would
be.
In delivering food items volunteers often offer words of encouragement, advise
and prayer.
These few hours spending time seeing folks reaching out to help the poor
nurtured something in me and made me more aware of the spiritual side of life in
that we will feed each other in many ways every day.
Wake up America....we have needs right here in our country that should be taken
care of first and thank God for volunteers who are trying to meet some of these
needs.

Score 300
Games
The road to a successful bowling career and important steps
to becoming a member of the Professional Bowlers Association continued last week
when 18-year-old Rock Hill bowling phenom Pedro Agapito lll bowled his third
career 300 game in a two-week span.
This 300 came in the Kiamesha Lanes Wednesday Men's league
October 2 on lanes 7 and 8 using his Brunswick Aura bowling ball. Pedro's series
for the night included a 300, 253, 221, 774.
His Wednesday team is Dutch's with team mates John Fischer,
Tom Belgiovene and Steven Belgiovene.
A week previous to this score in the Monday (Sept. 23) Men's
league, also at Kiamesha Lanes Pedro smashed the maples for a 259, 300, 245 and
his first 800 series (804).
His first 300 game was bowled on March 13, 2012 in the
Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league at Kiamesha Lanes.
He maintains a 245 average in the Monday league and a 214
average in the Wednesday league.
Pedro graduated from the Monticello Central School in June
and is looking to attend Sullivan County Community College in January. He is
employed by McDonald's and is the son of Kim Gallagher and Pedro
Agapito.
In the Monday Men's league Jacon Budd scored a 234, 300,
236, 770. He bowls with the Quality Sealcoat team consisting of team mates Deigo
Caba, George Budd and Brett Budd.
League secretary Josh Strang noted that Budd refuses to give
out any personal information. We also emailed Budd asking for information but
never received a returned answer.
Ed's
Outlook
Three New York schools are among six schools nationwide that
have been awarded grants in the form of mobile bowling equipment as part of The
Bowling Foundation's continuing effort to help enhance lives through the sport
of bowling.
The kids, valued at $1200, include six carpet bowling l
anes, rubberized bowling balls and pins, plus instructional DVD's to assist
coaches and teachers in introducing and instructing students in the game of
bowling.
The three New York schools include Shedridan Academy for
Young Leaders PS 457 in the Bronx, Wildwood Programs Inc./Wildwood
School, Schenectady and Mary White Ovington in Brooklyn.
With so many schools facing financial difficulties the
Mobile Bowling Equipment program annually helps schools. disabled and
disadvantaged service groups and youth groups purchase equipment to teach and
enjoy bowling.
A great program that reaches out toward youth, those
less fortunate, giving them increased chance for success, health, fitness and
the joy of sport while fostering bowling across all sectors of
society.

Bowling
Tip
By Mike
Luongo
This week I would like to let you know about the RG (which
stands for radius of gyration and core torque) in bowling balls.
First to help you understand the RG, a modern weight block
in a professional bowling ball is composed of several parts of different
densities.
Each of these dessities has two characteristics. It is a
certain volume and it occupies a certain location. When fused together, all of
the different densities (all the weight in the ball) act as if they are a single
unit of a single density that is rotating at a single distance from the center
of the ball.
This is all the RG is. It is a measurement that tells you
how far from the center of the ball the weight acts like it is
rotating.
As far as core torque, it is a phase we use in the industry
to measure the "flip" in the ball. The higher the number, the harder the ball
will turn the corner. As with anything else, it is a guide for estimating
potential. How flippy a ball really will be is determined by the shape of the
core, the bowlers style, the surface of the ball and the lane condition it is
thrown on.
A tall skinny core will generally flip harder than a short
fat core. Even with all of this, it is important that there is no substitute for
a good shot.

Broad Based Tax Cuts For
All
New Yorkers pay more per capita in taxes than taxpayers in
any other state in the nation.
Certainly not something we enjoy swallowing or should be
proud of and it's time New York's tax and regulatory policies are reformed to
reduce the state's overall tax burden.
It's no secret that New York's tax code is cluttered with
credits, deductions and other loopholes driven by short term policy goals and
political considerations than by the basic principles of tax fairness,
efficiency, simplicity, visibility and competitiveness.
We here in upstate New York tend to see more of the slow
economic growth that is due to the tax burden and over the past 15-years, the
state's property tax burden has increased more than 73 percent......two times as
much as the rate of inflation and well beyond the national average.
It's time for New York State to focus more on broad-based
tax cuts for all and a better, more balanced mix of targeted and broad-based tax
relief is overdue.
It not a surprising fact that a recent Siena College survey
found that consumer confidence in New York is at a 20-month low.
Bipartisan action in Albany has produced the 2% property tax
cap and the next step must be mandate relief that local leaders are crying
for.
A comprehensive tax reform agenda for 2014 hopefully should
gain bipartisan support and action in our state Legislature.
New York government has a long and sometimes not so proud
track record of talking a good game but not delivering. Many folks just become
sick and tired or being taxed to death and pick up and move out to other
tax-friendly states.
We must demand mandate relief and regulatory reform because
we have no future as the tax capital of the nation.

Agapito Scores
Second Career 300
Eighteen-year-old Rock Hill bowler
Pedro Agapito III has recorded his second career 300 game and his first career
800 series.
Pedro's scores of 259, 300, 245, 804
were recorded on September 23 in the Kiamesha Lanes Monday Men's
league.
He bowled these games on lanes 11
and 12 using a Brunswick Aura 1 bowling ball.
His team mates on the Who's That
team include NIck Price, Eddie Walsh and John Hoffmann.
Agapito's first career 300 was bowled on March 13, 2012 in the
Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Pedro at that time was in his Junior
year at Monticello Central High School. He graduated in June and has been
bowling for some eight years both in the Saturday Morning Youth leagues at
Kiamesha and last year in the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday adult
leagues also at Kiamesha Lanes.
He has scored a number of 299 and 279
single games and his highest series before the 804 was a
796.
Pedro presently maintains a 253
average in the Monday league.
Agapito two years ago indicated he is
pointing his bowling career and his major goal of becoming a member of the
Professional Bowlers Association and competing on the PBA
tour.
He presently is employed by
McDonald's and is looking to start college at Sullivan County Community College
in January.
He is the son of Kim Gallagher and

Bowling Tip
By Mike
Luongo
Bowlers: This week's tip is for any
bowler who ends up out of balance at the foul line when delivering a bowling
ball.
If you find your self unable to finish your delivery in a
strong balanced position, it may be a result of your follow
through.
It is important that when you follow
through on your delivery, you do not reach OUT with your arm. but UP with your
follow through. The
reason?
If you reach out, the weight of the
ball will pull your upper body forward and may cause you to lose your balance.
If you reach up, you can stay planted in a strong, solid position to deliver
your bowling ball with accuracy and leverage.
