Berwick championships set example for us all &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Year after year, Berwick coach George Curry teaches his football Bulldogs
about discipline, sportsmanship and effortNow the rest of us should learn from
his example. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Bulldogs' sensational win on Friday night, which clinched their third
state crown, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Northeastern Pennsylvania
harbors national-class talent. And in fairly unlikely places, too: places like
tiny Berwick, where year after year Curry inspires his players to play as well
as any in the land. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 What keeps that talent from surfacing in Wilkes-Barre, Mountaintop,
Plymouth or the Wyoming Valley's other towns? We're not just talking about
football. We're talking about other school activities such as academics, as
well as very grown-up pursuits such as manufacturing and health care. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In truth, there are local institutions that reach for and attain
national-class quality. Wilkes-Barre's Lion brewery recently won two
first-place awards in a national brewing contest, for example. The Procter &amp;
Gamble paper products plant in Mehoopany is the largest P&amp;G plant in the
world, and makes products that hold their own against any on the globe. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Those are just two examples. There are others -- and they all have this in
common with Berwick's Bulldogs: They aim high, never letting their small-town
roots get in the way of state-of-the-art quality. And they cultivate leaders
who can bring such goals to life. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 It can be done. Northeastern Pennsylvania can be the first name mentioned
when the talk around the nation turns to quality. George Curry and his great
team showed the way; the rest of us should determine to follow. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
