Here is another one
Hope you all enjoyed the nice weather we had last week. Even though it started out pretty frosty, by afternoon the temperature went up to 60 degrees and the sun was nice. From what I’ve seen, Thanksgiving week is to be pretty nice also. Still don’t see too many deer or turkey. Haven’t even seen a bear lately, but that’s fine with me.
Sympathy to Ruth Kale, her family, relatives and many friends on the passing of David Kale on the 8th. They were long time residents of Lopez and involved in many things that went on in the County. They had moved away, due to his health, but he will be remembered.
Congratulations to Charles Armioia and Bryson Charles for being recognized in the Northern Tier Career Center, where they attend specialized classes.
Early Sunday morning, Barbara, down on Lilac Lane, had a large red fox walk right by her kitchen window. Also, she would like to remind Sullivan County Veterans that they can adopt a dog at The Animal Sanctuary in Milan for FREE! Just call Sylvia at 570-596-2200 and she will hook you up with an adorable pet for the holidays.
St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month. Call 732-221-2803 to order. They can be picked up at the Church Hall from Noon to 1 p.m.
Did you know if you drink one glass of water 30 minutes before meals, it helps in digestion? Good to know, I guess.
Tyler McGuire is enjoying his Thanksgiving break here, from RIT, Rochester, NY, with his Dad, Bob, Jr., us, Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski.
Hoping for nice weather while he is here.
Good luck hunters. Hope you get whatever you go out for.
Happy Birthday to Serenity Laird and Reese Baton, 23rd; Parker Schiele, 24th; and Cassidy Brown, 30th. Hope you all have a nice day.
Here’s a cool treat: Leftover Snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with a food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. (If you have any Snickers bars left from Halloween.)
Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski spent Wednesday to Sunday in Boston, MA, and enjoyed Thanksgiving with her family, especially her Nan, who is soon going to be 101 years young. God Bless this special woman.
Hopefully everyone is in good health and not being hit with the flu mug or any other germ that may be going around. Stay well, everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Enjoy your time with family and friends. Do take time to pray for all those that cannot be with us that day. They may be service members or working their job, but we thank them.
Enjoy your week whatever it is you may do. I know Thursday will be a busy day for a lot of folks. I hear that hunters will be out right after that, so be alert. If you’re out walking along the trails or by the woods, wear orange so they don’t think you’re something they can shoot. Be safe, everyone.
Guess that’s it for this time. Have news, call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. Can’t put your news in if you don’t give it to me. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

We had some really nice weather during the week. Got up to the 60 degree mark. Cool, frosty mornings. Sunday temperature was 17 degrees. Ouch!! Never got up past 31 degrees all day long. Not a good sign. I did hear that this week will be warm again. I’ll take it. Still don’t see many deer or turkeys. Maybe they are hiding from the hunters. If you are a hunter, Good Luck. I haven’t seen any hunters, but I know they are out there.

There are still events going on around the County. Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book to see what, where and when. You may be interested.
We still have some 2022 and 2023 Lopez mugs for sale. Check the website to see availability and ordering, or give me a call at the number below. We’ve had quite a few really nice comments on the 2023 (Nessie) mug. Jim Stenerson was at his home on Dutch Mountain and had a relative visiting from MA. She loved his Nessie and stopped by to purchase one. Will keep you posted as to when the 2024 mug will be available. That will be the last one to the set.
Hope everyone is doing well and not bothered with the flu bug or cold. It’s that time of year, but with the heavy frost early in the morning, maybe the bugs are all dead. We can hope so, so that everyone stays well.
Guess that’s it. Enjoy your week, whatever your plans may be. Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. I’ll be here next time and thanks for reading. Comments always welcome.

Mike Keaney saw a LOPEZ NESSY MUG and just had to have one, Well he came to Lopez and got three of them. Even Nessy looks on with pride. Thanks Mike.
Weather seemed pretty nice, off and on. Had some cool, frosty days during the week and then some warm, sunny days where the temperature hit the 50 degree mark. Last I heard, we are to have some nice weather for the week again. Sounds good to me. We can only hope the nice weather stays around for a while yet. Did you remember to turn your clocks back? Did you remember to get out and vote? Hope you remembered both of those things.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend with Halloween activities that went on during that time. We did have some really nice weather with days in the 70’s. Saturday was a perfect day, with no rain, for Halloween doings. Sunday, not so nice. Rained most of the day and was quite cool, but Halloween parties were still enjoyed by all. I hear rain and maybe white stuff for most of the week, but we’ll see what happens. Changes daily.
Don’t forget Saturday to turn your clocks back ONE HOUR before you go to bed. Don’t really like the time change, but can’t do anything about it. We have to put up with it, like we do with the weather that Mother Nature sends our way.

Don’t forget, Election Day is Tuesday, the 7th. Get out and vote and make it count. It’s your right and privilege.
Saw some really cool carved pumpkins on one of my walks. Everyone does a great job with Halloween decorating. One place on Main Street had an awesome display again this year. Next, we’ll be looking for Thanksgiving decorations. They always look nice too.
Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, Nov. 15th, 6 p.m. at the Township Building. Don’t forget 2024 Civic membership dues are due before December 31st. See Heather McDonald to renew or become a member of the Civic Association.

Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book to see what’s going on around the County. Still time to have activities for you to attend or even take part in.
Happy Birthday to Tim Bullis, November 5th; Teri Bullis, 7th; and Grayson Burke, 8th. Hope you all have a nice day.
That’s about it. Enjoy your week, whatever it is you may be doing. Might need the rain boots, but hopefully no snow boots or shovels yet. We got spoiled with the nice weather and are just not ready for that other stuff.
Have news call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. Stay well; stay safe and I’ll be here next time. Thanks for reading and the comments I’m getting.

The weather sure is changing. It’s been cold, rainy, frosty and that wind just doesn’t stop. The leaves are all gone from the trees here and the color was not really pretty this year. I know some places had some gorgeous color. Sunday was a really cold, windy day. I did hear that some warmer temperatures are on the way. 60’s sound pretty good to me. Hope Mother Nature will cooperate. Just not ready for all this cold weather just yet. Did see only four turkeys in the field across the street. No deer for a while.
The Civic Halloween party will be on Tuesday, the 31st, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion. Get your costume ready and come on up. Prizes and refreshments. Trick or treating after the party. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PORCH LIGHT ON IF YOU’D LIKE THE KIDS TO STOP.

were responsible for the Lopez website. With the end of the mug series,
I might have to come up with another something to keep the website going.
THANK YOU TO ALL THAT ENJOYED COLLECTING THESE PIECES.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Another rainy weekend. I guess despite the rain, many folks enjoyed the events that went on. We also had frost on Monday and Friday. We did have some sun, but still very windy and cloudy. The leaves have gone from our trees here and we didn’t have much color at all. I see some places really had beautiful color from the pictures posted on Face Book. We did see four turkeys in the field across the road. First time for them in quite a while.
Sympathy to the family, relatives and friends of Paul Bizup who passed away on the 6th. Graveside services were held on Saturday at SS Peter & Paul Cemetery in Lopez.

Boy! Did we get some rain Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It came down heavy at times. Would rain, quit, and rain again. Didn’t make it very nice for the events that went on over the weekend. It was pretty windy at times. After a few days of really warm weather, I hear that we are to get some pretty cool weather. Guess we just have to take what Mother Nature throws at us. The flowers seemed to like the warm weather for those few days as they had a spurt of growth and color. Finally saw a couple deer in the field across the street, Don’t see many at all and haven’t seen any turkeys for a while.
Cynthia Arnone, Buffalo, NY, spent a week visiting Roseanne Lukachik. Not the best weather but still an enjoyable time.

We had three days of rain early in the week last week. We did have a couple warm, sunny days. I saw and heard that this week is to be pretty nice. Might be our Indian Summer. Bring it on! There are cooler nights. The leaves seem to be falling faster than normal. Color is nice in some places, but here it’s not so nice. Might still perk up and look good. Haven’t seen any geese going South so far, but I think the humming birds have taken flight and gone. We don’t even have any stragglers that are stopping by.
I see there was a lot of activity at Tent City over the weekend. Lots of campers were occupied. Was a nice weekend for camping, quad riding and whatever else they might have been doing.
DOG WALKERS: It’s nice to take your dog(s) for a walk. But, PLEASE, take a bag and pick up after him/her. It’s not fun to go out in the yard and step in dog crap when you know it shouldn’t be there since you don’t even have a dog.
Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, October 18, 6 p.m. at the Township Building.

It sure was a rainy, cold, nasty weekend for any events that were taking place. I guess it’s to be a soggy week too. Hoping for some more warm weather. I guess the “hummers” have left. Only see one or two stragglers on their way wherever they go for the winter. Haven’t even seen many deer or turkeys. The fox has been around from time to time and once in a while the bear make their appearance.

Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski spent the weekend in Allentown with her parents, Gerry and Paula Weslowski. They also visited her Aunt and Uncle, who were visiting from NH, while they were there.
I think the gardens and flowers have petered out. Hope for another good season next year.
Time to get your pumpkins and also do the decorating for Halloween since it’s “just around the corner”. Seems hard to believe that it’s going to be October in another week. Where does the time go?
Happy Birthday to Jon-Paul Matychak, 25th; Ted Beaver and Rosalie (Dinky) Burke, 27th. Have a super day.

With the cooler, rainy weather, I hope everyone isn’t being bothered with the flu bug or colds. Also, seems like they keep coming up with a new “bug” to get sick from. Stay well, all. Stay hydrated and eat healthy.
Well, I guess that’s all the news for this time. Enjoy your week, whatever your plans. Could be nice enough to attend any events you might be interested in. Might have to wear your boots and take and umbrella. Have news call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com I will get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

The last week wasn’t too bad, weather-wise. We had some rain, some wind, lots of nice sun. The weekend was pretty nice for the activities going on. Sunday was rainy later in the day, and most of the night, so hopefully most activities were finished. Getting much cooler now. Seems like Fall is in the air. The leaves are falling a little more and colors are changing. Gardens are about done and hopefully you got lots of produce to put up for the winter. Flowers are just about done also. There were some really nice displays over the summer. There’s been no frost…….yet, but getting around that time, probably soon, especially for here. Haven’t seen many deer or turkey. Seems our “hummers” have either gone or are visiting someplace else. Haven’t had them for a couple days now. Maybe they know something we don’t know.

As I sit here and type my news very early Monday morning, it’s raining pretty good. No thunder and not much wind so far; nothing like what was predicted for Sunday night that we didn’t get. We did have rain on Thursday and again a good storm on Saturday with lots of thunder. We didn’t lose power so far, which is good. Rain predicted for a few days during the week again. Supposed to be cooler temperatures also. We will make the best of whatever we get. The gardens are doing quite well and I think the zucchini did the best of anything. Flowers are still looking so pretty. Hopefully no frost for a while yet. I’m just not ready for the cold weather to settle in. The leaves are changing color already and Fall is in the air. There are places where the leaves have already fallen. The grass has been growing steadily and will be time to mow again soon.
Thank you to Les Isett, Alex Stavisky and Bob McGuire for placing the plaque at Cold Spring. Good job and looks really nice.

Hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Labor Day holiday. Weather was perfect for things going on over the weekend. The Sullivan County Fair was held and there is always so much to see and do there. I saw many yard sales and flea markets advertised in the Sully and on Face Book. There are always good places to eat and get ice cream too. Hope you found something of interest for you and your family. There’s always swimming to do at the parks.
This week’s weather is to be much warmer than usual. I will take it. I’m just not ready for the cold yet. The gardens and flowers still seem to be doing pretty well. Sure are a lot of zucchini to be had. I’ve made a lot of chocolate zucchini bread for the freezer and for now, but will come in handy this winter.

Had some half decent weather, but I see showers on the way this week. Getting a little nippy in the early morning. Grass is growing so fast, from the rain we had; flowers and gardens seem to be doing well. The bear, deer, fox and rabbits are out and about and the humming birds are loving the feeders.

How about that pouring rain we had Thursday into Friday!! The rain came down so heavy, the wind blew and it was miserable. The creek really raised and I heard we had four and a half inches here in Lopez. Lasted into Friday morning. Finally got nice. Saturday was a nice day for our Lopez Flea market held in town by the pond. Was sunny and hot. Sunday was another nice day for things going on around the County or even if you had something going on at your house.
Thank You Mildred Ambulance for sending a couple of your personnel for stand-by at our Lopez Old Home Day on August 5th.
Our next Civic meeting will be held on Wednesday, the 20th of September, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion.
Nina Weslowski spent the weekend with her family in Allentown.
The bear sure have been around all over town. They make themselves known any time of the day, evening or night. Tim Brown has been getting some really good pictures on his trail cam. The one is huge and Tim said waddles as it walks and it looks like it does. Just have to be aware if you’re out or the kids are out to watch for them.
First day of school is Thursday, the 24th. I know some kids would rather be off yet and some are really anxious to go back to see their friends from last year. Keep alert, people, buses will be on the road and kids too waiting for the bus. Doesn’t hurt to slow down a little.
Sullivan County Fair is coming up the end of August into Labor Day. Check it out. May be something to spark your interest. Always a good time for everyone that goes. I hear lots of good food is available too, along with many good programs and lots to see in all of the buildings.
Happy Birthday to Gaige Burke, 29th. Have a super duper day. Gerald Maloney’s family would like to wish him the best birthday ever and many more. He celebrates on the 30th. Have a good one.
Happy Anniversary to Jason and Heather Burke as they celebrate on the 26th. Have a great day.
Guess that’s it for this week. Enjoy your week. I’m told it’s to be pretty nice with hardly any rain. We shall see what we shall see and hope that’s right. Have news give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

We had a couple thunder storms during the week, but nothing like what was predicted. No tornadoes but some really windy times with pouring rain. Then, the sun would come out and get hot and humid. The gardens and flowers got watered quite well. Lots of good things in the gardens, especially zucchini, and so many pretty flowers around. I did hear there are no berries and apples due to the hard frosts we had earlier. There were lots of blossoms, but no fruit. Does that mean a “mild” winter this year? Guess we shall see. The humming birds didn’t mind the rain at all and the bear managed to come around any time during the day.
Saturday, the 12th, was a perfect day for the Marek family reunion, held at the home of Ferdie Marek on Church Street. Folks came to enjoy the day with good food and lots of visiting.
Irene (Huray) Pequignot, Linden, spent the weekend at her home on Church Street. She attended her SCHS Class of 1969 annual picnic at Connell’s Dam on Saturday, the 12th. Fourteen classmates attended with a total of 23 in attendance. Everyone brought a dish to pass. They all enjoyed games and, of course, reminiscing. Plans were discussed for next year’s 55th reunion.
I made a “goof” in my news last week. It’s Parker, not Carter, Schiele who is the great grandson of Carole Kilgus, who she visited while she was here recently. Had a nice phone conversation with Carole over the weekend and she enjoys the Sully down in New Holland and she mentioned my mistake.
Happy Birthday to TJ Lowden and Grayson Schiele, 17th; and Andrew Froese, 20th. Have a good day.
Happy Anniversary to Bill and Bonnie Killian as they celebrate on the 16th. Have a nice day.
That’s it for this time. Enjoy your week. Hopefully the weather will be nice. Some days are starting to cool off late in the evening, but we’ll take what we get. Hardly seems possible that the month of August is almost over and school will be starting before you know it. I’m sure the kids want more time off. Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for up-coming events that you may be interested in. I know the SC Fair will be at the end of the month, until Labor Day. Always something for everyone to enjoy there.
Have news, call me at 570-928-9238, mail me, see me, or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will put it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time. Comments always welcome.

What a perfect weekend for things going on in the County. The weather was super on Saturday for our Old Home Day festivities.
THANK YOU to EVERYONE who helped in any way to make our Old Home Day a success. Whatever you did, no matter how big or small, it was so much appreciated. I can’t name names as I’ll surely forget someone. Just Thank You!
Everything went smoothly and I think all had a good time. They enjoyed the variety of foods;had fun with the games; the kids liked to sit on the pillow at the dunk tank and if someone was lucky to trip the trigger, down they went into the water. Many had good luck with Bingo and the Rip-Off tickets. AM Flashback (Don Cicero) was our DJ from 5 to 9 p.m. Madam Lopezina did a great job again with her fortune telling expertise. The basket raffle was a huge success and the 50/50 drawing gave those who won some extra money. And….we couldn’t have done it without you, the public, who were here to support us for the day. Hopefully, another good day next year.
Next event — Saturday, August 19th, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. — Lopez Flea Market at the pond by Nessie. Anyone is welcome to come and set up. Hope to see you there.
Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, August 16th, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion.
Tent City was alive with so many campers for the weekend as they all gather for their annual reunion. They also enjoyed Old Home Day. Fireworks from down there were enjoyed by those who watched from the Pavilion.
Sr. Ella Mae McDonald was in town from NJ and attended Old Home Day She enjoyed Bingo and visiting. I missed her but she stopped at the Civic booth and told them to be sure to tell me she was here. “I want my name in the paper”. So, Sr. Ella Mae, I listened and sorry I missed you, but here you are in the paper.
Happy Birthday to Randy Lebo and Mary Lowden, 10th; Kari Spinosa, 11th; Al Kapler and Chase Brumwell, 12th; Linda Beaver, 13th; Dustin Burke, 15th; and Kevin Pequignot, 16th. Have a nice day.
Barbara Bell of Lilac Lane had three close encounters with a large black bear in the last two weeks. On August 2nd, she was walking her dog, Dixie, and thought she saw the bear behind a neighbor’s shed. Turned out to be a man! Let’s just say she’s a bearanoid!!
Scott, Susan and Alex Aharonian, Narvon, along with Marian Hubiak, Baltimore, MD, spent the weekend at their home on Dutch Mountain. They enjoyed Old Home Day while they were here.

Visitors for the weekend were Shawn Pequignot; Kevin and Alyssa Pequignot with her great grandkids, Brayson and Ariella; Jennifer Pequignot-Laird; Shawn Buck; Serenity and Alek Laird; Paul and Marge Bednar, Mickey and Karen Bednar; Sophie Bednar.

Hope you all survived the weekend. Had a couple really good rain storms and the wind was wicked. Thought we would lose power, but it just blinked a couple of times. Sunday was a much nicer day with cooler temperatures.
Was nice to see Carole Kilgus on Friday. Her daughter, Teri Bullis, brought her up from New Holland, where they now live, to an 85th birthday breakfast at Pam’s Restaurant. Friends gathered there to wish her well for many more birthdays. They spent Thursday with Dawn Kilgus Darrin, Tara (Kilgus), Greyson and Carter Schiele. Such a nice time for everyone.
Sympathy to the family and friends of Linda (Popso) Schroeder who passed away on the 25th. She spent many summers here in Lopez with her Aunt Bettie Popso. She was living in Florida.

Had some nice weather and had some really rainy weather. The gardens and flowers sure got some nice drink and no one had to water for a while. Haven’t checked for the week’s weather, but I’m sure we will have some. In my walking around town, I see so many pretty flowers and hanging baskets. The gardens are doing well too.
Went to an excellent presentation by Michelle Knight, on Cortez Jennings and the Jennings Bros. Lumber Company, mostly about their time in Lopez. She is the great, great grand daughter of Cortez Jennings. This was held on Sunday at the Mattern Building in Mildred. Was nice to see so many people that came out.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We sure did have our share of rain the past few days, along with the thunder and lightning. I guess the gardens and flowers sure got enough water. The creek raised again. We did have some nice days for just walking, quad riding, picnics and get-togethers. Hopefully we’ll have some nicer weather now. I did hear more smoke may be coming from the Canada fires and our air quality may go back to orange. Sure hope not.

What a thunder/lightning storm we had early Sunday. Poured like crazy, was windy and very foggy. It finally did quit, but a light rain followed most of the day. I don’t know total rainfall, but must have been pretty good. There were pools and puddles in some yards and fields. Ducks would have loved it. Creek raised pretty good again.
Bob and I had an enjoyable time at GEMFEST in Syracuse, NY, on Saturday. It is the annual mineral, gem, jewelry and fossil show put on by the Syracuse mineral club. Lots of interesting things to see and do. Many educational displays, educational programs and many dealers with all kinds of minerals, fossils, etc. for sale. Also lots of kids activities, so a great day for all who attended. Was a fun time for us and we got to see many old friends we hadn’t seen for quite some time. Weather was perfect.

Hope you all had an enjoyable and safe 4th of July Holiday. We did have a couple of thunderstorms early in the week. Was also hot, humid, sunny and smokey weather from the fires in Canada again. A few days the air quality was in the red zone. Hopefully, the air will clear and all will be good.
Had a nice phone chat with Carole Kilgus. She is doing well and getting settled in with Kevin and Teri. Enjoying the weather. She gets to spend time with great granddaughter and says that’s a lot of fun. She said to tell all her friends here that she says Hello. She does miss Sullivan County and all her friends here, but does like where they are now. They are in Amish country so enjoys watching a horse and buggy go by every now and then.

We didn’t get the thunder storms, at least in Lopez, that were predicted the last few days. We did get one little clap of thunder Saturday evening with a splash of rain and that was it. Sunday was very cloudy and sprinkly, but nothing to speak of. About 6:30 p.m. we did get a good rain shower, with the sun out, and a nice rainbow. See what happens during the week.
Cynthia Arnone, Buffalo, spent a few days here with her cousin, Roseanne Lukachik. Nice time together.

Hope you all had an enjoyable Father’s Day weekend. Our weather for the week was pretty nice and we did get some much needed rain. Made the grass shoot right up and helped with the gardens and flower beds. May need a little more slow, steady rain to help too. Last I heard, we are to have rain a few days this week, but we’ll see if that does happen. We are always blessed with the wind and we had quite a lot of that. Very gusty at times.
Are birds going to be bothering your tomatoes when they are ripening? Hang a few red Christmas balls on your plants. They peck at the red ball and leave the green tomatoes alone. They get tired of that so just leave. Hope this is true.

Hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day Holiday. The weather was perfect. The services that took place in the County were very well attended and all those who took part were great. Hope you got to attend one or maybe all of them. We’ve had some pretty hot days now for a while and really do need some rain. Looks like it keeps missing us so far. The ground is very dry and crunchy when you walk in the grass. Some places it’s pretty brown looking. So, would be nice if Mother Nature would give us a little rain to help things along.
Tyler McGuire came down from Liverpool, NY, to spend the Holiday weekend with his Dad, Bob, Jr. and the rest of his family. Nice time while he was here.

Enjoy your week, whatever your plans may be. I’ve been seeing some beautiful potted flowers and hanging baskets as I’ve been walking around town. Rain would sure help keep them healthy. I see some gardens in the process of being planted and rain would help there too. Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; snail mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.
I’m Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

What a perfect weekend for all kinds of things that were going on. Nice day for picnics, quadding, gardening and yard sales and flea markets. Was also the perfect day for the many Memorial Day services that took place. Hope you were able to attend at least one of them to give thanks to the many who served our Country so we can be free. Speaker for our Memorial Day service was Darlene Fenton, USAF, and also our County Commissioner.
Gerry, Paula, Paul Weslowski and Paul’s friend, Chris, Allentown, spent the weekend with Nina Weslowski and Brian McGuire. All had a great time while they were here.
Scott, Susan and Adam Aharonian, Narvon, and Alex Aharonian, Philly, spent the spent the Memorial Day weekend at their home on Dutch Mountain. Was a nice day to get a lot of yard work done and even enjoy some fishing. We enjoyed dinner with them on Saturday evening.
Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 21st, 6 pm at the Pavilion. Looking for volunteers to help with Old Home Day coming up on Saturday, August 5th. If you’d like to donate a basket for the raffle that day, please contact Pat Arcaro at 570-928-8930.
Tent City was pretty well occupied over the long weekend. I think everyone enjoyed their time here.
Now, with the gardening weather is upon us, hopefully the gardens will be successful and produce well. To take good care of your fruits and veggies, put them in a bowl and add a couple teaspoons of baking soda. Fill the bowl with water to cover them. Let sit for at least 15 minutes. Dump the nasty water and rinse. Store in an air tight container. This will remove dirt and whatever else may be on them. I see many getting their flower beds and baskets ready too. We did have a few days of frost so let’s hope that all done with.
Now with the nicer weather, I think more folks will be coming to their summer homes and cabins. I did hear the weather is to be pretty good for most of the week. It is pretty dry, so we do need some rain to moisten things up a bit.
Bob McGuire had a close encounter with the bear late Saturday evening while burning papers. The bear walked down the driveway, went right next to him and the burning barrel and went over the hill.
Guess that’s it. Enjoy your news, whatever you may do. Have news, call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

Finally had a nice weekend for a change. Was a perfect weekend for birthday parties and other events that were going on around the County. Happy Birthday to Jase Lowden who had a birthday party on Saturday at the Pavilion. He turned five years old last weekend. It was a fun day for kids and friends. He even had a bounce house to enjoy, along with snacks and cookies. There was just a tad bit of rain later in the day that didn’t amount to much at all. Jase is the son of TJ and Allison Lowden, Lopez.
Happy Birthday to Ariella Siddle who was one year old on the 18th. She had a birthday party on Sunday at James Short Park in Williamsport. Ariella is the daughter of Alyssa Pequignot, granddaughter of Kevin Pequitnot, and great granddaughter of Irene (Huray) Pequignot. She also has a brother, Braydon, at home.
Mark and Lisa Fenster, Philly, spent the weekend at their home here. Always yard work for Mark while he is here and it was nice weather to get that done,
Gerry and Paula Weslowski, Allentown, spent an enjoyable weekend with their daughter, Nina, and Brian McGuire.

Lots of yard sales and flea markets going on over the Memorial Day Holiday. Check the Sully and Face Book to find out where and when and hope the weather cooperates for all of them.
Plants that help keep bugs away include rosemary for fleas and ticks; marigold for mosquitoes; basil and lavender for houseflies and mosquitoes. A few ideas when planting flowers and gardens. There are a lot of beautiful flowers I see when walking during the day. Just hope they don’t freeze and we keep the nice weather we are having.
Happy Birthday to Nick DeSanto, 29th; and Bruno Day, 31st. Have a great day.
Happy Anniversary to Joe and Diane Fanning, 28th and Jack and Joyce Walsh, 29th. Congratulations and enjoy your day.

BIRTHDAY PARTY, AND IT WAS QUITE A BASH.

Hope you all enjoyed a fantastic Mother’s Day weekend, whatever you did. The weather was a bit windy, but not too bad. As I sit here very early Monday morning typing my news, I looked out the window and what a FROST we have. The roof on the house next door looks like it’s covered with snow. Hopefully, it didn’t kill everything as the buds are really starting on the bushes and trees. I did hear for the week it’s to be nice and no rain for a few days. Let’s see if it’s right.
The humming birds are back at our house. Finally saw them last Tuesday. Put the feeder out and we have at least three so far that have been coming. Cute little buggers to watch as they “flit” around and play while drinking.
If there are any Lopez kids who would like to march in the Memorial Day parade, please meet at the Post Office at 9:45 a.m. Dustin and Sam Burke will be there to get you all lined up for the parade at 10 a.m. Always nice to see kids taking part.
We enjoyed a cook out on Sunday with our sons, Bob, Jr. and Brian, along with Nina Weslowski, at Jr’s home on Main Street. Always nice to spend time with family.
Civic meeting on THURSDAY, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion.
Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, spent a few days at their home on Church Street. After all the rain we had, they had quite a lot of lawn work to get done. Was nice weather while they were here.
Happy Belated Birthday to Faith Williams, who celebrated on the 14th. Hope it was nice.
Happy Birthday to Janet Weidner, 22nd; Susan Aharonian, 24th; and Tanya (Stasiak) Nitczniski, 25th. Hope you all have a good day.
Happy Anniversary to Tim and Bobbi Jo Brown as they celebrate on the 21st. Have a great day.
There are lots of things that are starting to pop up around the County, so keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book to see what you may be interested in. Hope you got out to vote on Tuesday, the 16th. It’s your right to do this. Every vote counts.
Guess that’s it for this time. Enjoy your week. Have news, call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

Hope you all had an enjoyable week. We had some really strange weather. Had snow flurries, had some nice days, had some really frosty days and had a good rain storm on Sunday. Hopefully, things will calm down and we’ll just get nice, warm, sunny weather. I’ll see if I can talk to Mother Nature about this. I did hear maybe some showers coming later in the week.
ATTENTION: Any Lopez kids who would like to march in the Memorial Day Parade for the Civic Association, please meet at the Post Office at 9:45. Parade starts at 10 a.m. Dustin and Sam Burke will be in charge and give each of you a flag to carry and you can keep it after the parade. Hope to see some kids there.
Congratulations to Misty Lynn Pequignot who graduated on May 6, 2023, from Clarion College with magna cum laude, Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She will be working in UPMC Hospital in Williamsport. Misty is the daughter of Shawn and Crystal Pequignot, and granddaughter of Irene Huray Pequignot.

Happy Birthday to Xander Kapler and Kessler Gilbert who both celebrate on the 12th; Jase Lowden and Les Isett, both on the 14th; Cory McDonald and Deacon Burke, 15h; and Marian Hubiak, 19th. Have a great day, all of you.
I see folks are starting to work on their gardens, getting ready to plant, after the frosts are over with. Someone told me they don’t plant until after Memorial Day, just for that reason.
The humming birds are back. They’ve been seen on Church Street. We put our feeder up, but none came so far. Mike and Heather had one on Sunday afternoon, so they’re close by.
Keep and eye on the Sully and Face Book for things that may be coming up. With the nicer weather, hopefully, things will be taking place. You may be interested in checking things out. Flea markets and yard sales will be on the horizon soon, if they aren’t already being done. Don’t forget to check out the many places for your food and ice cream too. Vegetable plants and flowers are being sold to help you along. Hope everyone has a good growing season this year.
Don’t forget, TUESDAY, MAY 16th is ELECTION DAY. Get out and vote. It’s your right and a privilege to do so.
Guess that’s it. Enjoy your week. Have news, call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will put it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time. Comments, good and bad are always welcome. That way I know how to do a better job.

Wow!! What a cold, windy, rainy, miserable weekend we had. Must have been at least five inches of rain and the creeks were ready to go over their banks. I guess the whole US had bad weather of some sort, according to reports and pictures on TV. Mother Nature doesn’t know what to do next. I heard we are in for rain, and some snow showers, for the week. Oh, joy! I guess it could be much worse, so be happy we didn’t lose power or have serious flooding.
Congratulations to the following for achieving honor roll status. Distinguished Honor Roll – Miles Baton; Kaeleigh McDonald; Kyleigh McDonald; and Bruno Day. Honor Roll – Makayla Day; Izabella Capriotti; Adriana Capriotti; Enrico Capriotti; Ruby Malkemes; and Aaron Kinsey. Keep up the good work.

Tyler McGuire, Liverpool, NY, spent the weekend with his Dad, Bob, Jr. and visited his Uncle “B”, Nina Weslowski and us while he was here. Was a nice surprise when he stopped to visit.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that might be coming up you’d be interested in. Hopefully, the weather will get much better. The start of summer is approaching and lots of things will be going on around the County.
I guess that’s it for now. Enjoy your week. You may need your rain boots and umbrella, but get out if you can. Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.
