White Haven Police
arrest bank robber
by Seth Isenberg
On Thursday afternoon, January
6, White Haven Police arrested 33
year old Carl Holliday for robbing
the PNC Bank, and the Rite Aid, last
month.
White Haven Police spent the last
few weeks speaking with area busi-
nesspeople and alerting residents
to look for suspicious activity.
On Thursday, businessman Henry
Straub, owner of Main St.
Coffeeworks, noticed a car much
like the one that was near the PNC
Bank during the last robbery. It was
parked parallel to the caboose, fac-
ing the bank, and had been there for
a long time. According to Police
Officer-in-Charge Tom Szoke,
Straub walked directly to the White
Haven Borough Municipal Building
in search of the police. (Szoke
thanks Henry for making the report.)
Szoke, who was on duty, set up
observation and called for backup.
Officer Gary Shupp, who was off
duty but on call, started his drive
from his home to the borough. At
some point during this time, Holliday
started his car and made a drive up
Towanda Street where he saw the
police cruiser. According to Szoke,

retiring as production coordinator,
and was active in community affairs
including service as a member and

Holliday turned his car up
Susquehanna St. Szoke began to
follow up Cherry Street in the cruis-
er, while Shupp arrived at the top of
Susquehanna Street in his personal
car and started down the hill.
Holliday turned his car at Elmira
St. (toward James St.) and Szoke
blocked it with the cruiser. Shupp
then arrived to complete the box.
Holliday was then arrested without
incident.
White Haven Police, assisted with
information from the FBI’s Scranton
office, interviewed the man for sev-
eral hours. Toward the end of the
session, he began to confess. It
turned out that Holliday, a former
local policeman from south New
Jersey, had actually robbed six
banks, one of them twice – South
Whitehall, PA, north of Allentown;
Towamencin Township, PA near
Lansdale; and in south Jersey,
Harrison Township, Paulsboro, and
Millville – twice; plus the White
Haven PNC Bank. He also robbed
the White Haven Rite Aid.
Szoke added that Holliday, who
was divorced, was staying in a

There was an appeal hear-
ing in Jim Thorpe this morn-
ing and at least one more will
be necessary. Our supervi-
sors are trying to stop Paula
Hoffman from receiving
unemployment compensa-
tion after they replaced her
without giving cause. The
supervisors had contemplat-
ed replacing our secretary in
the beginning of the year
when they contacted Ms.
Lenahan. This was addres-
sed in the minutes of the April
meeting. Why was the gar-
bage bill collection contract-
ed out? Perhaps Ms. Lena-
han wouldn’t do it. So, Ms.
Hoffman was replaced and
granted unemployment com-
pensation by the state, but
the supervisors felt it would
be much better to spend our
money trying to stop it. So,

fers is OUR money and some
day we may get the opportu-
nity to say how we want it
spent. In the meantime, the
goals for the township appear
to be SPEND, SPEND,
SPEND! Our General Fund
has diminished from approxi-
mately $200,000 to under
$100,000. We pay from $600
to $1,200/month for legal rep-
resentation at each monthly
meeting for a township of 525
residents, but the supervisors
will not stand behind our
employees when they’re
sued for doing their job!
Perhaps our township lead-
ers can show some fiscal
responsibility and loyalty to
our employees. That would
be a novel approach to run-
ning our township!
Happy New Year.

Senator Baker outlines priorities for second term
Having taken the oath of
office to begin her second term,
State Senator Lisa Baker says
the hard work of problem-solv-
ing needs to begin immediately.
“Dealing with the substantial
budget deficit is going to require
a lot of time and difficult choic-
es. But there are numerous
matters, ranging from trans-
portation funding to juvenile jus-
tice reform, where responsible
agreement was not reached
under the Rendell Admini-
stration. These issues are auto-
matically part of the agenda,”
Baker said.
Baker kept her chairmanship
of the Senate Veterans Affairs
and Emergency Preparedness
Committee. “This committee
serves some very important
constituencies – veterans, fire-
fighters, emergency responders
– and deals with significant
issues. It has been an active
and productive committee, in
terms of moving legislation,
holding public hearings, and
investigating problems, and that
will continue to be true in the
new session.”
“There are very few areas of
state government that will be
off-limits as we search for sav-
ings and cost cuts to deal with
an enormous multi-billion dollar
budget deficit. But we cannot in
good conscience cut corners on
the services and care promised
to Pennsylvaniaʼs veterans. I
feel strongly on this point – they

Legislative and community
debate over the economic ben-

“New regulations have helped,

Seth’s Sightings by Seth Isenberg
Two little snowstorms made
for some challenging driving
Friday and Saturday. In both
cases, treatment and traffic
made roads safe. On Friday, it
took until about noon, and it
took until mid-morning on Sun-
day, except where wind was
blowing snow. There were piles
of blown snow all around where
we drove on Sunday afternoon.
As of this writing, we may get a
little more snow on Tuesday
into Wednesday—exciting, but
thank goodness, no blizzard.
Sunday, on our way to shop-
ping, we sighted a line of ducks,
making their deliberate way
from a wide, warm creek to the
back yard of a nearby house. I
was able to pull the truck over
to watch, and we learned the
object of their desire was a full
feeder, likely containing ducky
delights. It certainly drew a
crowd…of ducks, that is.
Also on our trip Sunday, we
passed a bed and breakfast
whose main distinguishing fea-
ture was the feature of four
Border Collies, outside in the
yard. Three had taken up posi-
tions guarding the door back
inside from the backyard, while
the fourth had gone out on
patrol, to check the perimeter
against intruders, perhaps.
On Friday evening I had a trip
to Lehighton to make, and
chose to take the Turnpike,
because it was faster. I didnʼt
know how much it would cost,
just that the prices had gone
up, so I figured Iʼd look at the
toll ticket. However, this was
when the tickets without price
information. I learned it would
cost $1.85 when I got off. It
used to cost 75¢ not so long
ago.
Saturday was devoted to our
attending the PA Farm Show in
Harrisburg. I had gassed up in
Lehighton, paying $3.07.9 per
gallon. We arrived mid-after-
noon, and made a beeline to
the food court. First stop was
the PA Livestock Association
stand for lamb stew for Ruth,
while I selected a nice bowl of
turkey chili from the PA Poultry
Producers, along with some red
beet and mustard eggs.
Fortified, we took a long walk
from one end of the show to the
sion on Juvenile Justice.
The Senate is likely to take
early action on a package of
reform bills that died in the
House last session. The change
of leadership in the House
improves the prospects for
reform proposals becoming law.

January 28, in the auditorium
of Two Rivers Landing, 30
Centre Square, Easton.
Mitch Dakelmann, film his-
torian and curator for the Na-
tional RR Historical Society,
will be the host. Films will
focus on the birth and early
development of steam loco-
motives and their triumph
during the early years of the
20th Century. His presenta-
tion will illustrate why steam
locomotives were so rapidly
replaced by diesels after
World War II. Mitch’s films will
document attempts during
the 1990s to create new
classes of modern steam
locomotives. Unfortunately,
all these efforts failed.
Admission to this event is
$5 for museum members and
$7 for the general public.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the
film will be shown at 7:30
(approximately three hours
long). Seating is limited to
125 persons on a first-come
first-served basis.
Two Rivers Landing is
located ½ mile south of U.S.
Route 22 or 1½ miles north
of I-78 in downtown Easton.

Blood donors encouraged
to ‘Warm Your Heart,
Heat Your Home’
Since 1970, January has been
recognized by presidential decree
as National Volunteer Blood Donor
Month. To help ensure an adequate
blood supply, the American Red
Cross Blood Services, Northeastern
Pennsylvania Region is proud to
take this opportunity to thank those
dedicated individuals who donate
blood throughout Pennsylvania.
In northeastern Pennsylvania,
blood inventories are of great con-
cern, particularly in the winter
months when winter storms, icy
roads and illness can have a detri-
mental effect on community blood
supplies, which is already just days
ahead of demand. January is an
excellent time to publicly thank
those Silent Heroes who help save
lives every day and issue a call to
action for those who have never
given blood or have not donated
recently
Eligible volunteer blood donors
are asked to call 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit
redcrossblood.org to find a blood
drive and to make appointments.
Individuals who are 17 years of age
(16 with parental permission), meet
weight and height requirements
(110 pounds or more, depending on
their height) and are in generally
good health may be eligible to give
blood. Positive identification is
required at the time of donation.
Throughout the month of Jan-
uary, the American Red Cross Blood
Services, Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania Region is encouraging people
to give ʻWarm Your Heart, Heat Your
Homeʼ and donate blood or plate-
lets. Each week, daily presenting
donors can enter to win a $200 Visa
gift card to be used towards their
winter home heating bills.
Every two seconds, someone in
the United States needs blood. The
Red Cross Blood Services North-
eastern Pennsylvania Region pro-
vides lifesaving blood to 29 hospi-
tals and must have 351 people give
blood and platelets each weekday
to meet hospital demand. Accident
victims as well as patients with can-
cer, sickle cell disease, blood disor-
ders and other illnesses receive life-
saving transfusions every day.
There is no substitute for blood and
volunteer donors are the only
source.
About the American Red Cross:
Governed by volunteers and sup-
ported by giving individuals and
communities, the American Red
Cross has been the single largest
supplier of blood products to hospi-
tals throughout the United States for
more than 50 years. While local
hospital needs are always met first,
the Red Cross also helps ensure
that no patient goes without blood
no matter where or when they need
it. The American Red Cross Blood
Services - Northeast Division must
distribute approximately 3,000 units
of blood each day just to meet the
basic needs of area patients. In
addition to providing nearly half of
the nationʼs blood supply, the Red
Cross provides relief to victims of
disaster, trains millions in lifesaving
skills, serves as a communication
link between U.S. military members
and their families, and assists vic-
tims of international disasters or

VFW Commander’s Corner

Veterans’ Corner by Cdr Robert Drury

Blood Drive A Success

The USS Liberty was an
Intelligence Ship. Its largest
weapons to defend itself was
50 Cals and small arms. On
the fourth day of the 1967
Arab Israeli War, USS Liberty
was steaming slowly in inter-
national waters, 14 miles off
the Sinai Peninsula. Israeli
armored forces were racing
deep into Sinai in hot pursuit
of the retreating Egyptian
army.
The Liberty, a World War II
freighter, was converted into
an intelligence vessel by the
top-secret US National
Security Agency, and was
packed with the latest signal
and electronic interception
equipment. The ship bristled
with antennas and electronic
‘ears’ including TRSSCOMM,
a system that delivered real-
time intercepts to Washington
by bouncing a stream of
microwaves off the moon.
The Liberty had been
rushed to the area to monitor
communications of Israel and

her foes, Egypt, Syria, and
Jordan. At 0800 hrs, 8 June,
1967, eight Israeli recon
flights flew over the Liberty,
which was flying a large
American flag. At 1400 hrs,
waves of low-flying Israeli
Mystere and Mirage-III fight-
er-bombers attacked the ves-
sel with rockets, napalm, and
cannon for 20 minutes, con-
centrating on the ship’s elec-
tronic antennas and dishes.
The Liberty was left afire, list-
ing sharply. Eight of her crew
lay dead, a hundred seriously
wounded, including the cap-
tain, Commander William
McGonagle.
At 1424 hrs, three Israeli
torpedo boats attacked, rak-
ing the burning ship with
20mm and 40mm shells. At
1431 hrs a torpedo hit mid-
ship, precisely where the
intelligence systems were
located. Twenty-five more
men died.
The gunboats fired at crew-
men trying to fight the fires.
At 1515, the crew was
ordered to abandon ship. The
gunboat crews then poured
machine gun fire into the life
rafts, sinking two.
A rescue mission by US
Sixth Fleet was mysteriously
aborted on orders from the
White House. An hour after
the attack, Israeli warships
and planes returned. Com-
