From the Nanty Glo Journal Flag Presented...U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael Brosch, right, presents a U.S. Flag that flew over a U.S. installation in Iraq to Nanty Glo Mayor Thomas Cunningham. Brosch, a Nanty Glo native and son of Michael Brosch of Carrolltown and Sharon Alexander of Nanty Glo is a 14-year veteran of the army, and recently returned from a one-year deployment in Iraq. Cunningham said that he plans to have the flag placed in a wooden and glass case, and then rotate it through the school systems, various civil, fraternal and military clubs, and any business that would like to display it. Eventually, the mayor said, 'The flag will end up on permanent display in the Nanty Glo Public Library.' Photo by William L. Martin |

Helping Katrina victims...Using a little play on words, 'Change Someone's Life,' the students at St. Mary's Parochial School, Nanty Glo, collected almost $1,800 in change for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Members of the eighth-grade and second-grade classes were the top collectors and are shown with the chanbe. School Principal Rosemary Conzo is shown in the center of the back row. The money collected will be given to Catholic Charities for distribution where needed. Because students did so well in this worthwhile project, the student body was granted a Dress Down Day on Sept.23. Photo by William L. Martin. |

Funny Bones
A young real estate agent was pushing hard to sell an apartment to this old codger. After praising its numerous attractions, he ended his hard-sell with, "Remember, Mr. Brown, this is an investment for the future." 'Listen young man,' said Mr. Brown wearily, 'at my time of life, I don't even buy green bananas."
