You have to love the character of Micah Gursky. Two years ago he was defeated as an incumbent on town council. He was targeted by a "one issue" group that was against filling the local strip mines with ashes from power plants and sludge from the Delaware River.
Gursky is a graduate of Tamaqua High School and a record holding quarterback for the school. Since he also was an excellent student he was offered a scholarship to Princeton University. There he did something strange - he graduated - putting him in an extreme minority of coal region scholarship football players.
After college - he did not forget his roots - he came back to Tamaqua to live and serve. He is an assistant to Representative Dave Argall and yesterday won "re-election" to the Tamaqua Town Council.
