HORNETS WIN FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON

The Hornets start of their season with a bang. They took an early lead with Mike Pietropola throwing 2 touchdown passes in the first quarter. The defense started off their dominant performance with Ben Davis getting a safety in the dying seconds of the first quarter. Superb defensive play in the second quarter led to a blocked punt touchdown. The Hornets continued to put on points with two goal line runs. Points halted in the third quarter as both defenses used their halftime adjustments wisely. Pietropola broke the second half stalemate with a nine yard scamper towards the beginning of the fourth quarter. Another late touchdown gave the Hornets a 48-0 win over the Indians.

IT’S AN INSIDIOUS THING

Today’s special in-studio guest is Doug Candelario of Harbor Counseling. Doug and Home Page anchor John Vogt discuss the topic of addiction. Addiction comes in many forms, such as, but are not limited to alcohol, sugar, drugs, sex, gambling, exercise, computer, food, porn, and media. When you are addicted you just can’t walk away. Addiction is a powerful and destructive force that cost the addicted individual dearly.

Addiction can afflict anyone. Your son, daughter, neighbor, pastor, lawyer – nobody is immune this threat. “It’s us and the people we care about.” says Candelario.

If you or a loved one struggle with the bondage of addiction Wellsboro Home Page encourages you to get help. Contact your pastor, share your problem with Mom or Dad or someone that you know has your best interest at heart. Consider contacting an organization like Harbor Counseling. They can be reached by phone at (570) 724-5272. Do what you have to do to get free. Stop falling for the lie that your mind is feeding you that you don’t really have a problem. You can get free. You can walk in victory reaching your full potential. Do you have dreams and goals that seem impossible to achieve because of your addiction? Your dreams can come true. Take the first step today – get some help.
