Game 97 or 101?
by Larry Cory
The Bangor Pen Argyl football rivalry is being billed as the 97th game in the historic series. Depending upon one's point of view, however, it could be the 101st game.
According to old newspaper accounts Bangor, coached by George Houck, played its first game October 30, 1919, defeating Pen Argyl 40-10 at Albion Common Field in Pen Argyl. Bangor later played its first home game at Flory’s Field on North Main Street, Bangor, November 23, 1919 beating Pen Argyl 7-0.
Although it was only a two-game schedule, the 1919 season paved the way for the future. In 1920 Bangor played five games, splitting with Pen Argyl en route to a 2-1-2 season.
Bangor apparently played three games in 1921. Two games were unreported and the other ended in defeat. A game with Pen Argyl was cancelled.
The official start of the series is generally believed to be 1922. The Knights lead the series 49-43-4 for a total of 96 games. If you include the games prior to 1922, the Knights lead 50-46-4 for a total of 100 games.
Pen Argyl comes into the game with a 6-3 record and a likely spot in the District XI playoffs. The Slaters under interim coach Tom Toth have a 3-3 record under Toth and hope to make it 4-3, giving him a winning record and the Slaters added respect going into next year. Toth replaced Brian Miller after the third game of the year.
The game will also feature two of the area’s top runners in Saivaugn Vass for Bangor and Logan Sterner for the Knights. Unofficially, Vass has rushed for 1202 yards and 15 tds while Sterner has 1122 yards and 16 tds.

Stray dog and puppies crash Michigan man's bachelor party
VICKSBURG, Mich., Oct. 27 (UPI) -- A stray dog and her puppies inadvertently turned a Michigan man's bachelor party into an animal rescue mission.
Mitchel Craddock and seven of his friends traveled to go four-wheeling in Tennessee when they came across a stray dog.
"We were cooking bacon with the door open. The next thing you know, there's this dog sitting right at the front door. She wouldn't come inside, but she sat right there," Craddock told ABC News.
The dog was exhibiting clear signs of hunger and dehydration and appeared to have routinely hung around the group's cabin.
"She was very friendly but very skittish— I thought maybe she had been booted out of a house before," Craddock told MLive."We'd ride for 4-5 hours, or go into town, and every time we'd come back she would either be sitting on our doorstep or under one of our trucks."
The group eventually named the dog "Annie," after Little Orphan Annie and eventually realized she had recently had puppies.
"After we gave her a bunch of food and water, she started producing milk again," Craddock said. "So we figured if she's making milk, her pups can't be that old."
Craddock and his groomsmen set out into the woods where they discovered Annie's seven puppies inside of a hole.
"We set each pup individually down in front of her, and she nuzzled their faces, and she checked out the pups, and to the person holding them, she gave the look of 'It's OK, I trust you," he said.
The group bathed the puppies to rid them of dirt and fleas, but found them all to be generally healthy.
"Every single one had a big fat belly on them. The mom had given the pups literally everything she had," Craddock said.
The eight members of the bachelor party wound up adopting each of the dogs, including Annie, and bringing them back to Michigan.
"Once we got the puppies out of the hole, we knew we couldn't just leave them, so we started figuring out where they would go," Craddock said. "Thanks for coming to my bachelor party. Here's a puppy."

How to Build Better, Stronger Bones in Kids
(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - It's been ingrained in our heads since we were little: building strong bones is important. The problem is that these days many children aren't getting the daily recommended diet and exercise needed to do so. And, with technology use at an all-time high, children are spending less time playing outdoors, which increases the risk of obesity.
Today, approximately 32 percent of American children and adolescents ages 2 to 19 are considered overweight or obese. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) wants to help empower families to get up, get out and get moving to ensure optimal bone growth and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other diseases later in life.
"Building your child's bone bank is like a college savings plan: the earlier you start investing, the better," says AAOS spokesperson Dr. Jennifer Weiss, a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles. "Parents should ensure that kids are getting adequate calcium to keep their bones strong as well as appropriate levels of vitamins D and C to allow the body to absorb the calcium."
So what's a parent to do? The following tips from the AAOS will help get your kids (and you) moving while building better, stronger bones:
* Move it. Make physical activity a part of a child's schedule for at least 30 to 60 minutes per day. Make it fun. With fall weather coming in, walking around the block to see the colors, throwing a football in the yard, or riding a bike is a perfect way to engage with your kids and still get in some exercise. Bonus? Being outside gets you and the kids some much-needed vitamin D, which also helps build strong bones.
* Watch what you eat. Life is busy. Which makes on-the-run snacks and meals an easy fix for harried parents. Unfortunately, most of this kind of food does not have the nutrients to ensure good bone health. Adolescents should consume a healthy diet with calcium to maintain strong bones and lower the risk of excessive weight gain.
* Lift things up, and put them down. Studies show that strength training is key to healthy bones. During resistance training, muscles have to work harder and, over time, become stronger. Although resistance exercises focus on increasing muscle mass, they also put stress on bones and have bone-building capacity.
* Set limits. It's understandable that kids' whims change with the seasons, as do the number of teams they want to play on. However, try to limit the number of teams a child plays on in one season to avoid overuse injuries. In addition, if your child tells you that something hurts, discourage him or her from playing through the pain.

Why Your Attic Is Key to Pre-Winter Roof Check-Ups
(NewsUSA) - Sponsored by GAF - There's no need to risk breaking your neck this autumn when you've got a perfectly good attic.
Meaning what? Well, as any responsible homeowner surely knows, this is one of the two times each year when you're supposed to check the health of your roof. (Among other reasons, because it's key to a home's energy efficiency.) But who wants to be climbing a ladder 25 feet or so into the sky when the weather is turning sharply colder and nastier?
That's where your attic comes in.
According to Jason Joplin, program manager of the Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence, that space you're probably using mainly for storage can substitute, as a fallback, for the eyeball roof check normally recommended to be done every pre-winter and spring.
"Roofs actually create an insulated barrier that helps trap heat inside, and most attic spaces are located right below them," says Joplin. "That makes them perfect for spotting potential problem areas and damage without worrying about falling off a ladder."
Here's what to look for while you're up there:
* Water leaks. As sure as tweeting at 3 AM is generally a bad idea, it will soon storm. And when it does, shine a flashlight up in the attic to check not only for dripping water and condensation, but also for water stains on the ceiling, walls and floors. All signal that H2O is finding its way beneath your roof's shingles or behind its flashings.
* Ventilation. "Think of the attic as the lungs of the house," advises Joplin. "It has to be able to breathe in order to function properly." Which is to say, vents stuffed with debris need to be cleared.
* Animal damage. You know those "If you see something, say something" homeland security ads? Well, to avoid the havoc refuge-seeking birds, bats, squirrels and raccoons can create, warning bells should likewise sound -- followed by a call to a pest-control pro -- if you spot any of these telltale signs: nests, droppings and gnawed wood, wires or insulations.
* Structural problems. The mere hint of a sagging roof -- look up for this one -- could indicate potential structural weakness requiring professional repair.
And if prolonging your roof's life is your goal, experts say it pays to consult a professional roofing contractor who's insured and uses quality materials such as the latest triple-layer line of Glenwood Shingles -- the thickest of its kind, with an authentic wood-shake look -- from GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer. A free service that makes it easy to find a factory-certified contractor in your area can be found at gaf.com.
