Hope you all enjoyed the nice weather for the 4th Holiday weekend.  Was perfect for picnics and activities going on around the County.  Weather for the week is to be nice for a couple days and then we are to get some rain, which is needed for the gardens and flowers.

The humming birds are busy at the feeders and like to play around.  We have at least 8 that are seen during the day.  The bunnies are all over the place.  Haven’t seen the bear and three cubs, but hear they are still around too.  Mother Nature at her finest.

Don’t forget, work bee at the Pavilion on Saturday, 10:30 a.m. 

Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 20th, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion.  Plans coming along pretty good for Old Home Day on Saturday, August 6th, from Noon to 10 p.m.

On Saturday, Bob, Aka, UVBOB, and I were invited by Jane Swift, to do a fluorescent mineral program at Worlds End State Park.  Was a nice night and there were about 50 kids and adults who enjoyed how “ugly” rocks are made “pretty” by using an ultraviolet light on them.  Many interesting questions were asked and there were a lot of “oohs” and “aahs” taking place.  Thank you, Jane, for having us.

St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month.  They can be picked up at the Church Hall from Noon to 1 p.m.  Call 570-928-8909 to order yours.

Happy Birthday to Stacey Olsen, 2nd; Brandan McCobin, 4th; Brayson Siddle, 5th; Bryson Brumwell, 6th; and Samantha Burke, 10th.  Hope you all have a super day.

B;s Gang sends birthday wishes to Bill Stasiak as his special day is the 6th.  Have a good one.

Happy Anniversary to Mike and Heather McDonald who celebrate on the 7th.  Also, to Jeffrey and Kristin (McDonald) Mensch as they celebrate the same day.  Many more happy days ahead.

Studies have shown that peppermint oil’s cooling and anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe minor itches from bug bites and poison ivy.  Dilute two drops of peppermint oil in olive oil and rub on the affected area.

Don’t forget, support you local businesses.  There are still things that will be going on around the County so keep and eye on the Sully and also Face Book to see what’s happening.  Might be something you’d like to see or even take part in. 

That’s the news for now.  Enjoy your week.  Have news, get in touch with me by 6 p.m. on Sunday evening by calling 570-928-9238; snail mail; 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.

If you see Mike or Heather McDonald, wish them a HAPPY 15th ANNIVERSARY
