K of C Donates to Keystone Warriors
On October 22, 2019, the Fr. DeNisco Council (#3862) of the Knights of Columbus located in Bangor PA, hosted speakers from the Keystone Warriors, Paul Spurgin, executive director and Krissy Dunkle, Operations Manager. At this meeting, it was their pleasure to present this organization with a donation of $800 raised through their summer car washes. Brothers Bill Hutnik and Joe DeFranco coordinated the car wash program making this donation possible. The Keystone Warriors is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization located in Eastern Pennsylvania that primarily aids our post-9/11/2001 enlisted men and women from all branches of the United States Military in dealing with the often difficult transition to daily civilian life. They provide a wide range of direct assistance to veterans and their families tailored to their specific needs including groceries, financial assistance, and in some cases, transportation, furniture and even housing.

Flu Prevention Ideas
The state Department of Health is urging residents to get a flu vaccine before the end of the month to protect against this potentially deadly illness. Last year, the Commonwealth reported 122,000 cases of the flu and 258 deaths. While vaccination is considered the best method of prevention, residents are also encouraged to practice healthy habits like covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, frequently washing your hands during flu season and remembering to disinfect commonly touched objects such as door knobs, light switches, countertops, cell phones and computers. Residents who become sick with the flu will experience symptoms such as fever, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and body aches. Anyone suffering from the flu should stay home and rest to avoid spreading the illness and aid in their own recovery. Additional information about staying healthy during flu season is available here.

New Main Street Market
Like a Breath of Fresh Air
........Plans Include Delivery Service.......
by Larry Cory
The re-opening of Main Street Market in Bangor is refreshing news since people, unfortunately, have become accustomed to seeing “going out of business” signs in many communities, including downtown Bangor.
When the Bank of America closed in Bangor two years ago, that was a shocker. What began as the First National Bank many years ago was now gone, making one wonder who’s next.
When news of the Main Street Market closing hit social media and elsewhere, it was as though Bangor had been dealt, not just another shocking setback, but one that hits where it really hurts.
Unless you have been squirreled away in a quarry hole for the past few years, you know that Main Street Market is not just another grocery store, it is THE grocery store for many residents in the Bangor area. Thus, local officials worked quickly with Lanta Bus to transport area residents to nearby stores. After all, food is a commodity that one needs everyday.
But just as quickly as Lanta came to the rescue, Nicole and Duane Smith, former managers of the Portland Market, stepped up to reopen the Market in Bangor.
“It was really by chance,” Nicole said. “We wanted to go back in business years ago, so I said to my husband, it might be a long-shot so why don’t we try to get in there.”
The Smiths ran the Portland Market in the early 2000s, but were forced to close after three floods made it impossible to continue. Currently, they are working toward reopening the Main Street store with a refurbished parking lot that has been milled and paved and a roof that has also been repaired.
Once open, they’re planning a delivery service which is a huge plus for their neighbors in the area.
Inside, “they’re going to see a nice, clean store,” Duane said. They also hope to continue to sell meat from local farms and they plan to have a butcher on hand “seven days a week.” Their tentative hours are 8-9 weekdays, 8-8 Saturdays and 8-6 on Sundays.
“The only day we will probably close is Christmas Day,” Duane said. They are also planning a soft opening for November 1 “if everything goes well.”
After meeting with the Smiths, it’s obvious that they are committed to providing quality and friendly service to the area. It will be like a breath of fresh air when shoppers open their doors for the first time and are greeted by the friendly faces of long-time store employees.
