Happy New Year!




"Nos have a novus annus infantia!" *


Yes, black smoke once again was seen billowing up from from the little pizza oven at the Pottsville Hospital. No, it did not mean that the pizza was burning. Not even the extra cheese or pepperoni. No; it signified to the faithful gathered in the parking lot for almost ten hours that the county was once again blessed with a new year baby. Fumata nera!! For the complete story go to the Pottsville Republican
The trout family extends congradulations to those who won a little on the yearly wagering. Make sure to properly report any winnings on your tax returns next year, not this year. Ditto for losses.
For those interested in obtaining a polar bear plunge gift certificate which makes a lovely present for a loved one, read the complete story by clicking on this link Pottsville Republican

Better yet go down to Brok-Sel's or Frankie's Smoke Shop and pick up a newspaper for two bits. The new year baby edition is always a collector's item.




Remember the rules for 2009 contest which starts approximately April 1st. Pick up entry forms at any local skate board store, middle school admissions office, the Roller Roost or many other establishments.


*Translated from latin: "We have a new year baby!" Not to be confused with pig latin's "eway avehay away ewnay earyay abybay."
