Desperately Needed – Caring Communities
By: Penny Conway
Member: The Addict’s Mom My two children are adults now, with children of their own. I am blessed with 2 beautiful grandchildren. I look into their little eyes and see the wonder, innocence and curiosity that is their world. …. I know this will change, very soon. Within 3 short years, statistics have shown that my now 7 year old grandson could very well be introduced to drugs. In a split second, a wrong choice can alter the course of his life and the lives of the people who love him. Addiction shatters the addict’s life, it cripples the family, it weakens the workforce, it destroys the safety of the community. Ever so slowly, I am seeing a shift in attitudes. Police departments are adopting Angel Programs, this is not a get out of jail free card – it is designed to help the addict that wants to get clean. Prescription prescribing and monitoring laws are being put into place. Physicians, pharmacies and emergency rooms are being re-trained and limited in the disbursement of opioids. EMS crews and most police departments are carrying narcon. Departments are discovering when treatment is offered immediately after an overdose, when an addict is at their most vulnerable, the success rate is higher. Keeping a database, reaching out to families, getting the family help is another positive step in the right direction. As overdose rates keep climbing, is it not time for the community to reach out? Do you know if our schools are teaching prevention? Prevention is so important, just say no has not worked. Knowledge, knowing the facts is key. Understanding the heavy influence peer pressure can have on a tween/teen is critical. Being aware of the impact the mere presence of peers can have on your child’s decision making, without any coercing or encouragement. If more churches were to open their doors to recovery programs that work for our children, relapses would decrease. Smart Recovery and Celebrate Recovery are two very successful programs that our youth are embracing. It is programs like these, sponsored by caring adults that allow them to stay clean and contribute back to their community, to become successful thriving adults. We must ask ourselves, are we doing enough? Are we discarding our at risk youths, closing our hearts and minds for the simple reason that it is not my child. Is this the environment we want to raise our children in, where they already feel no one cares if they live or die! As a recovering addict’s mom, I am only trying to stop the shame and stigma of addiction. To let you know you are not alone. We are stronger together. If addiction has affected you, please join us at Lights Of Hope, Sept 9th at the Wm. Pensyl Social Hall in Portland, PA. 5 -7:30 PM. Ending with a common bond, as we honor, remember, encourage and support our addicted loved ones with a candlelight vigil, church bells, song and prayer. Growing Up in the Butcher Shop

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - July 21
The First Battle of Bull Run - 1861
In the first major land battle of the Civil War, a large Union force under General Irvin McDowell is routed by a Confederate army under General Pierre G.T. Beauregard.
Three months after the Civil War erupted at Fort Sumter, Union military command still believed that the Confederacy could be crushed quickly and with little loss of life. In July, this overconfidence led to a premature offensive into northern Virginia by General McDowell. Searching out the Confederate forces, McDowell led 34,000 troops–mostly inexperienced and poorly trained militiamen–toward the railroad junction of Manassas, located just 30 miles from Washington, D.C. Alerted to the Union advance, General Beauregard massed some 20,000 troops there and was soon joined by General Joseph Johnston, who brought some 9,000 more troops by railroad.
On the morning of July 21, hearing of the proximity of the two opposing forces, hundreds of civilians–men, women, and children–turned out to watch the first major battle of the Civil War. The fighting commenced with three Union divisions crossing the Bull Run stream, and the Confederate flank was driven back to Henry House Hill. However, at this strategic location, Beauregard had fashioned a strong defensive line anchored by a brigade of Virginia infantry under General Thomas J. Jackson. Firing from a concealed slope, Jackson’s men repulsed a series of Federal charges, winning Jackson his famous nickname “Stonewall.”
Meanwhile, Confederate cavalry under J.E.B. Stuart captured the Union artillery, and Beauregard ordered a counterattack on the exposed Union right flank. The rebels came charging down the hill, yelling furiously, and McDowell’s line was broken, forcing his troops in a hasty retreat across Bull Run. The retreat soon became an unorganized flight, and supplies littered the road back to Washington. Union forces endured a loss of 3,000 men killed, wounded, or missing in action while the Confederates suffered 2,000 casualties. The scale of this bloodshed horrified not only the frightened spectators at Bull Run but also the U.S. government in Washington, which was faced with an uncertain military strategy in quelling the “Southern insurrection.”

1885 Club Accepting Nominations
The Bangor Area High School Alumni Association is looking for nominations for induction into the 2017 "1885 Club Hall of Fame." In 1998, the members of the Bangor Area High School Alumni Association began to search for a way to honor graduates who have distinguished themselves through public service, scholarship, and recognition in their chosen fields of work.
Discussions naturally led to creating a Hall of Fame for such individuals. Concerned about possible confusion with the Athletic Hall of Fame, however, the committee began to seek ways to create a different type of recognition with its own unique distinction. From this collaboration, "The 1885 Club" was born. Named in honor of the first year in which a class of students graduated from Bangor High School, this exclusive club honors distinguished alumni and holds these individuals as outstanding examples for others to follow.
Through the creation of "The 1885 Club" the Alumni Association underscores and upholds the fact that graduates from Bangor Area High School have been making tremendous contributions to mankind for more than 130 years. We reserve a special category for educators and administrators who have served the Bangor Area School District over its long history.
To nominate someone for either of these awards, please go to the Bangor Area School District web site, click on the Alumni icon (under quick links) and then click on the 1885 Club. There you will find a printable form. Fill it out and mail it to the address shown or forward it to Carole J. Hontz at Bangor Area Middle School, 401 Five Points Richmond Road, Bangor, PA 18013-5267. Nominations can also be e mailed to [email protected]
