Lopez, PA

As I sit here typing my news “early” Monday morning, the sun is rising and it’s a “cool” 27 degrees with a frost.  But, it’s gonna be a nice day from reports I saw.  We had some crazy weather the past few days.  Saturday was rainy; Sunday was very windy and sunny.  The wind kept up all day long with gusts up to 35 mph.  I hear rain is on the way for a few days during the week.  It seems that Mother Nature does not want to cooperate.  I do see the bluebirds are back.  We’ve been watching one in our birdhouse for a couple days.  Someone mentioned that the humming birds are coming back earlier and have reports that they have been seen.  With this colder weather, they may turn around and wait for a while.  I see some are getting their gardens and flower beds tilled and ready for the up-coming nicer weather.  Hopefully it will get warm to finally start planting.  I hear the bear are making their way around town, so watch out for them.

FLASH —  Meet at the Pavilion on Sunday, the 4th, at 1 p.m. for a work bee inside and outside to get ready for the summer.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Questions…..call Jodi at 971-5002 or Kathy at 610-413-6439.

Birthday wishes to Kyler and Paige Burke, May 1st; JoAnn Day, 2nd; Ken Pochatko, 6th; and Ted Lowden, 7th.  Hope you all have a sunny day.

Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 21st, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion, weather permitting.  Should be getting nice by then.

Dab some Vicks Vaporub on your ankles, wrists and neck for a bug repellent.  It’s about that time of year when the little buggers will start bothering.

Keep and eye on the Sully and Face Book.  I see there are many things coming up and you may be interested in something.  Greenhouses are opening for your plants and vegetables; places are offering a variety of good food and ice cream.   There are fund raisers and benefits also in the works.  Lots to see and do in Sullivan County.

That’s all for now.  Enjoy your week, whatever your plans.  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.  I’ll be here next time and thanks for reading.  Comments always welcome.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

We had some warmer weather for a few days, after cool morning starts.  On Friday it hit 83 degrees, which was nice.  Need more of them.  On Saturday there was a pretty good rain storm with lots of wind.  I did see it is to warm up during the week, but still have rain off and on.

Hope you all had a very Happy Easter and the bunny was good to you.  Was a nice, sunny day, but a little cool wind until later in the afternoon,

Happy Birthday to Leni Sonon, 24th; Katherine Kapler, 25th; Mickie Mowery, 26th and David Spinosa, 28th.  Hope you all have a great day.

Tyler McGuire, Liverpool, NY, enjoyed a few days over Easter with his Dad, Bob, Jr.  He also visited his Uncle “B” and Nina Weslowski and his Grampa and Gramma.  Was nice to have him home.  Good time for all.

On the sunny, hot days that will be coming up and you’re bothered with a sunburn, you can take an Epsom Salts bath to soothe the skin.  Mix 1 cup of salts in warm bath water.  Mix to combine and soak in the bath for 10-15 minutes.

There’s always a lot going on in Sullivan County.  Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for things that may be of interest to you.  Hopefully, the weather will start to be a little more “likeable” to be out and about.   Will be soon time to think of gardens, if the frost would stay away.  Last I heard, folks usually don’t plant until after Memorial Day.  Sometimes that’s “iffy” too.  I see some of the ice cream stands are open or will be opening soon.

Don’t have much to report, so guess that’s it.  Enjoy your week.  Stay cool.  Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; USPS 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.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Is it April or January?  Sure has been cold, windy and rainy so we don’t know for sure.  Now, I hear snow, maybe, on Tuesday.  It should not last too long, even we get any.  The birds are also wondering what’s going on.

The Civic Association would like to thank Mr. Ferdie Marek for his generous contribution.  Also, thanks to Brandan and Robyn McCobin for generously donating the paint and supplies to restore the Christmas statues.  They held up quite well during the winter.

Congratulations to Xander Kapler and Tessa Chapman on earning honors for the 3rd making period for 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.

Bury your banana peels in the soil in your garden.  They are rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium.  They make excellent natural fertilizer and repel insects.  They can also be chopped in small pieces and added to your plants.  As they decompose, they enrich the soil. You can even make banana water by soaking the peels in water for 24 hours..  Then use the water on your plants.  (Just hope they don’t grow bananas.)

Civic meeting on Wednesday, the 16th, 6 p.m. at the Township Building.

Happy Birthday wishes to Jaron Williams, 11th; John Risser, 12th; and Joyce Walsh, 13th.  Have a fantastic day.

Happy Anniversary to Michael and Georgia Martin as they celebrate on the 15th.  Enjoy your day.

There may still be events going on around the County, so keep your eye on the Sully and Face Book.to see what might interest you.  Yard sales are popping up now.  Hopefully, it will get warmer for outdoor activities.

Enjoy your week, whatever your plans.  Don’t let the wind blow your hat off. 

Have news, call me at 570-982-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail at news@lopezpa.com.  I will get it in for you.  Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hope you all enjoyed your St. Patrick’s weekend and wore lots of green.

We had some really windy weather and two days got up to 50+ degrees.  Was nice enough to wash clothes and hang them on the line.  They dried really well.  Sunday we had quite a thunder storm with lightning and very high winds.  Mother Nature is still telling us she’s here.  At least it wasn’t snow, for which I’m glad.  The sun came out Sunday afternoon and made for a nice afternoon.  Hopefully, it will start getting nicer now and we’ll have lots more warm weather.  The geese have been coming back, robins have been seen (I haven’t seen any).  Waiting to see if the blue birds will come back to the same nests they had last year.   I think Spring will get here within a few days.  At least, according to the calendar, but the weather changes day by day.

Hope to see you at the 55th annual Che-Hanna Gem and Mineral show this weekend, the 22nd and 23rd.  This is held at the Wysox Fire Hall and is from 9-5 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday.  Plenty to see and do while you are there.  Food will be available for purchase.  There are nice, educational displays.  There are dealers with lots to offer in the way of minerals, books, fossils, etc.  There will be a mini-mine for the kids; you can have a geode cut open and see what’s inside and take that home;  you can make a cabochon and take it home with you.  UVBOB will be doing fluorescent mineral programs during the weekend.  Come, see what it’s all about.

Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, Landenberg, spent a few days at their home here.  Was nice to get away even though they couldn’t do much here.

B’s Gang sends birthday wishes to Steph Putnam, 17th; Kristin (Putnam) Carter, 18th; and Lori Higley, 19th.  Have a great day.

Have you ever smelled bleach in a doctor’s office.  NO!!  Why?  Because it smells, and it is not healthy.  Did you know bleach was invented in the late ’40’s?  It’s chlorine.  It was used to kill our troops.  Peroxide was invented during WWI.  It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals.  (Learned a history lesson.)  Take one capful of hydrogen peroxide and hold it in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out.  No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes.  Use it instead of mouthwash.

Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, Landenberg, spent a few days at their home here.  Despite the weather, they had an enjoyable time.

Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that may be coming up that you’d be interested in.

That’s it for now.  Enjoy your week.  It’s going to get better, I just know it.  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.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Well, how do you like that brisk wind we’ve been having.  It’s been brutal for a few days, but the sun is at least out to help a little.  Does this mean March is coming in like a lion and will go out like a lamb?  Sure hope so.  Heard some warmer temperatures on the way with some rain too.  Spring is coming, have no fear.  A couple days it did get up to 40+ and that was nice.

SPRING AHEAD!!  Turn your clocks AHEAD ONE HOUR on Saturday before you go to bed.  

Happy Birthday to Ruby Malkemes and Tally (McGee) Tierney, both on the 10th; Julian Bonner, 11th; and Bob McGuire, Sr., 13th.  Hope you all have a nice day,

Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski spent the weekend in Allentown with her parents, Gerry and Paula Weslowski.  Weather was nice for travel and visiting.

You can remove a splinter by taking an Epsom salts bath.  The salts will draw out the splinter and leave the area clean.  Who really has time to do that?  I think the needle works much faster, but give it a try,

Lopez Civic meeting will be held on Wednesday, the 19th, 6 p.m. at the Township Building,.

Check out the Sully and Face Book for any events coming up that might be of interest to you.  I see the Eagles Mere Toboggan slide is closed for the season.  It was so good to finally have it open for the many that came to enjoy the ride and see what else was going on around Eagles Mere and the County.

That’s it for now.  Enjoy the cold week and think sunny, warm thoughts for Spring to come soon,  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.  If anyone would like their birthday or anniversary in my column, please let me know and I will put you on my calendar.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I guess the groundhog was right.  I think we’re in for six more weeks of winter and then some.  This weather we’ve been having is brutal.  The wind is never ending and the temperatures really drop down over night and don’t go up much during the day sometimes.  We did have a couple of days that hit 40 degrees.   We had some rain and very icy conditions.  Sure hope it clears up soon.   The week’s weather I heard is not to be so good, with a snow storm coming about Thursday.  Early to tell, but hope it’s wrong.  Stay safe everyone.

Happy Birthday wishes to Clair Johnson II, 29th; Armond Spinosa, 22nd; Jacob Williams, 23; and Bob McGuire, Jr., 26th.  Hope you all have a nice day.

Nice to see that there are so many enjoying the Eagles Mere Toboggan slide.  It’s up and running when weather permits.  It’s a good fund raiser for the Fire Company.

Don’t have much news as I’m not out and about with the cold, snowy, icy conditions.   Don’t need any more aches and pains.  There are still some flu bugs going around, so get well to those who don’t feel quite up to “par” right now and hope you feel better soon.

Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that may be coming up that you’d be interested in.   It was too bad the Sleigh Rally had to be cancelled, but hopefully it will take place later in the month.

I think that’s about it.  Enjoy your week, whatever your plans.  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.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Enjoying the nice cold, windy, snowy weather?  It is that time of year so should be expected.  It is snowing Sunday evening as I sit here and type my news. We had rain all day on Friday, colder on Saturday, and really cold and windy on Sunday, with only 3 degrees in the morning.  The high for Sunday was only 23 degrees.   That wind we’ve been having is making lots of tree limbs and branches to fall and even some trees have come down.

Glad to hear the Eagles Mere toboggan slide is finally in operation after 11 years not working, due to weather conditions.  It was closed Friday evening, due to rain, but did open on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday.  Quite the crowd was there as it’s quite exciting to ride that sled down the hill and across the lake.  The hard part is walking back up with the sled for another ride.  So many people waiting in line, they had to close down selling tickets because they wouldn’t be able to ride.   Great job by all those who helped make this happen, during some really cold weather.  It’s a nice fundraiser for the Eagles Mere Fire Company.  Hats off to all for what you do!  We may get some warmer weather during the week, with more rain.

Keep an eye on the Sully and FB for those things that may be up-coming, some will be weather permitting.   You may be interested in taking part in them or just watching.  I know the Sleigh Rally and the Chocolate/Wine walk is Saturday, the 15th.

Happy Belated birthday to our grandson, Tyler, who celebrated 24 years on Ground Hog day.  Yes, we will have six more weeks of winter.

Birthday wishes also to Dee Whatley, 4th; Alex Aharonian, 11th; and Lisa Williams, 13th.  Have a nice day.

Get well wishes to all those who may not be feeling “up to par” right now and hope you feel better soon.  Lots of “stuff” (crap) going around right now.

More information on the Che-Hanna Rock and Mineral 55th annual show will be in the Sully soon.  Mark your calendar for March 22 and 23.  Will keep you posted.

Lopez Civic Association is still on hiatus until the third Wednesday in March.  Meetings are at 6 p.m. and are held at the Township Building.  Membership dues are due, so contact Kathy Isett at 610-413-6439.  You can also let her know if you’d like to me a member.

I think that’s all I have for now.  Enjoy your week; I know there will be lots to do.  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.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Brrrr!  It’s cold outside.  We have MINUS 5 at 7:30 a.m. early Monday morning and guess it’s going to get worse during the week.  Be safe out there; dress warm; and don’t go out if you don’t have to. Glad the kids had no school, due to Martin Luther King holiday.   Had some snow on Sunday evening; enough to plow and shovel.  Hopefully that’s it for a while, but I don’t think so. 

Irene Pequignot recently attended her granddaughter, Elexus Dunkleberger’s pinning where she also received the Daisy award for extraordinary nursing.  The next day, she attended her graduation for her Associate of Applied Science Assoc. degree for nursing.  After, they all enjoyed lunch to celebrate.  Congratulations, Elexus!

Did you know you can make your own home-made drain cleaner?  Dump 1/2 cup baking soda in the drain.  Add 2 cups vinegar and 1 cup hot water.  Let sit 20 minutes.  Flush with boiling water.

The annual Che-Hanna Rock and Mineral Club show is slowly coming up.  Check the Sully and FB for all the information.  It’s a great show and you should attend, if you can.  Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 22nd and Sunday, March 23rd.

Remember, St. Vladimir’s Church has no pierogies for sale until Spring when they hope to start again.  Will keep you informed.

Happy Birthday to Irene (Huray) Pequignot, 22nd; Scott Aharonian and Anna Williams, both on the 27th.  Have a nice day.

Happy Anniversary to Alex and Ginny Stavisky, 22nd and Al and Jeannie Kapler, 23rd.  Have a great day.

Civic meetings will start again in March, weather permitting.  Third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m.  Membership dues are now due.

That’s it for now.  Enjoy your cold, cold week, whatever you may be doing.  Dress in layers if going out to keep warm.  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 your item in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!!   Hope the 2025 year will be a good one for everybody.

We ended the year with some really cold weather; some snow; and the wind.  As I type my news this Sunday morning, it is sunny and 18 degrees, but still windy.  No snow so far, which is good, I guess.   Seems like the week is going to be pretty good too, with little or no snow.  That can change in an instant, so just have to watch out the window and see what we see.

FLASH:  St. Vladimir’s Church has SOLD OUT on pierogies.  They hope to be back in production in the Spring, if all goes well.  I will keep you informed as soon as I know when that will take place.

We had a nice visit from Bill and Linda Pfieffer, Hughesville, when they came to wish us a Happy New Year.  Lots of catching up to do and was a fun time.  She brought her really good homemade fudge, cheese and beef stick; and she went home with a loaf of homemade chocolate zucchini bread. 

Happy Birthday wishes to start off the New Year are sent to Jeannie Kapler and Alex Stavisky, 4th; Matt Weisbrod, 6th; Linda Santarelli, 7th; John McDonald, Jr., 9th.  Have had/have a nice day.

B’s gang wishes Tyler Higley a great day as he celebrates his birthday on the 13th. 

Happy Anniversary to Ted and Linda Beaver as they celebrate on the 12th.  Have a fantastic day.

Did you know that if you add one teaspoon of water when frying ground beef, it helps pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski spent the New Year’s weekend with her family in Boston.  They helped her Nan celebrate her 102nd birthday on New Year’s Eve.   God Bless her.  Many more, Nan.

I think that’s the news for now.  Enjoy your week.  You will probably have to bundle up if you are out and about.  That air is sharp.  Have news give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopez.pa.com.  I’ll get it in for you.  Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

Like the nice frosty weather?  We had some really cold temperatures last week.  Had some snow and some nicer days too.  I guess we can now say winter is here with the single digit numbers.   I did hear some nicer weather for this week.  Gotta take what we get.

Congratulations to the following students who all made the Distinguished Honor Roll for the first marking period.  This includes Reese Baton; Greyson Schiele; Miles Baton; Makayla Day’ Kyleigh McDonald; Izabella Capriotti; Ruby Malkemes; Kaeleigh McDonald; Adriana Capriotti; and Bruno Day.  Great job and keep up the good work!

St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month.  To order, call 732-221-2803.  They can be picked up from Noon to 1 p.m. at the Church Hall.

Did you know if you pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip, you will not have a clingy skirt or dress.  Works also with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose.  Try it.  Static will be gone.

To get the full weather report, check Sam Burke’s weather in the paper.

Enjoy your week.  Got your Christmas shopping done?  Still time to do that last minute run to the store for gifts.  Shop local and support the small businesses.  May need the snow shovel this week.  Time will tell.

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.  Comments always welcome.

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving with whoever you celebrated it with.  Weather wasn’t bad at all.  Saturday was 15 degrees for a low and Sunday was 10 degrees for a low.  Always a lot of wind, frost and cold.  But, it is that time of year.  Hopefully some calm, nice weather is on the way yet.

Hunters—did you bag your trophy deer?  If not, I think there is still time.  I did see a couple of pictures on Face Book and in the Sully where some got some pretty big ones.  I think if the snow stays in the fields, the hunters will have a better time tracking and getting it out of the woods or wherever it may be.   Food for the winter months.

Did you know that tomatoes and take stains off your hands?  And, they can also take stains out of white clothes.  Good information.  Thanks, Connie.

Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski enjoyed Thanksgiving weekend with her family in Boston, MA. 

Bob McGuire, Tyler McGuire, and Marcia Pedro fixed a delicious Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the fixings at his house.  Tyler made a really good pumpkin pie.  I was not feeling up to par, so didn’t do any of the cooking.  

Happy Birthday to Kevin Partington, 4th; Elexus Dunkleberger, 6th; Gabriel Williams and Robyn McCobin, 8th; Aaron Risser, 9th; and Alexis Musani, 10th.  Hope you all have an awesome day.

Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book.  There’s always something listed in “Coming Events” in the Sully and on SC News and Bulletin Board on FB.  You may something of interest to you.   Haven’t heard anything so far about the Eagles Mere toboggan slide, but may be a bit early yet.

Hope everyone is well.  If not, I hope you get better soon.  Maybe this cold weather will kill the germs that are going around.

Enjoy your week, whatever you plan to do.  I see many are getting their trees up and decorations done outside.  Will look pretty nice with the lights on at dark.

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.  Comments always welcome.  Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski hosted a Halloween Party/50th Birthday (Brian) Bash on Saturday at their home on Main Street.  Friends near and far came for a great evening.  So much variety and delicious food brought by those who came.   Lots of visiting and catching up.  Most everyone came in costume and there were some pretty good ones.   There was an amusing slide show, presented by Diane Karonian and her family, of Brian from his early years to today. 

Gerry and Paula Weslowski, along with their son, Paul, and his friend, Chris, Allentown, spent the weekend with Brian and Nina and had a good time at the party.

Tent City was pretty much full over the weekend as they all came in to attend the party for Brian.    What a fantastic time for all. 

Happy 50th  Birthday “B”, on the 11th, and many more.

Happy Birthday toTim Bullis, 5th; Teri Bullis, 7th; Grayson Burke, 8th; and Aiden Sperry, 13th.  Have a great day.

Irene Peqignot, Linden, spent Saturday at her home here.

Hope you all are in good health and enjoying the nice weather yet.  Pretty soon, down the road, we’ll get some “not so nice” weather.  I don’t look forward to it, but it’s coming.

Out of Windex?  Fill a cup with water half way and fill the other half with Listerine.  Pour it on your glass table or spray on your windows and wipe off with a paper towel.  Sparklingly, smudge-free glass.

Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that may be going on around the County that you might be interested in.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

We had some wicked wind during the week.  I saw a gust of 25.4 mph.  Lots of frost and some sun too.  Maybe Mother Nature is telling us something.  We’ve been very lucky so far.  Almost the end of November and can’t complain.  Just hope it stays nice for Thanksgiving and Christmas for those who will be traveling.

It gets dark so early, the other night it was 6 p.ml and I thought it was time for bed.  Makes for a real dreary day.

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.  To order call 732-221-2803.

Happy Birthday to some fine folks out there who will be  celebrating.  Serenity Laird, 23rd; Parker Schiele, 24th and Cassidy Brown, 30th.  Hope you all have a nice day.

Did you know you can use Listerine as a deodorant?  My report says it really does work.  It’s great for fighting odors  Dab some on a cotton ball and gently rub it in your arm pits.  Give it a try!

Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, Landenberg, spent a few days at their home here. 

Got your Christmas shopping done?  There’s still time and there are local businesses to get those nice gifts for your loved ones.  Shop local and give them the support.

Civic dues are now due.  See Kathy Isett or give her a call at 610-413-6439 to renew or to join the Civic Association.  Only a buck and would be nice for some of the younger ones to get involved with helping.  Older folks are also welcome.

Hope everyone is feeling really good, with the Holidays on the horizon.  No fun being under the weather at this special time of year.  I see some folks are getting their Christmas decorations up and they look very festive and bright.  Love seeing all the displays for the season.  I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but if you’re in the mood for Christmas, go for it!  Won’t hurt anyone and may brighten up your day.

Check Sully and Face Book for up-coming events you may be interested in.  The Sully has many listed under “Events of Interest”.  You may find something to your liking.

I guess that’s it for now  Enjoy your week, even if it’s not the best.  Good weather is on the way.  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.  Comments always welcome.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weather.  Did have 6 days of early frost, but warmed up quite nicely by afternoon.  More nice days to come.  Sure hope this is our Indian summer.  I could take this all winter, but I know lots of you love the cold and snow.  We will have to wait and see what Mother Nature has in store for us.

Volunteers needed —  There will be a work bee at the Pavilion on Saturday, the 26th, at 10 a.m. to prepare the statues for the Christmas display.  If you can spare a few minutes, or more, help would be appreciated.

There will be  decorating done on Wednesday, the 30th at 5 p.m. to get ready for the Halloween party, which will be held on Halloween night, the 31st, 6 p.m., at the Pavilion.   There will be food, prizes and fun. Get your “spooky” outfit ready, or even a “beautiful” one.   Hope to see you there.  If you can come to either of these work bees, please show up and give a hand.

St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month.  To order, call 732-221-2803.  They can be picked up at the Church Hall from Noon to 1 p.m.

Happy Birthday wishes to Marty Whatley, 25th; Makayla Day, 27th; Lydia Spinosa, 28th; and Misty Pequignot, 31st.  Have a nice day.

Happy Anniversary to Marty and Dee Whatley as they celebrate their special day on the 27th.  Have a super day.

Did you know you can use Listerine in your toilet to freshen it?  If you feel it’s a waste to use so much, spit in a cup after rinsing your mouth, and dump that in the toilet, killing bacteria in two places.  It’s not just mouth wash any more.

Hope everyone is feeling good.  If not, I send you best wishes to feel better and have a full recovery.  ‘Tis the season for sickness and so many viruses seem to be going around.

Take a look when riding around town and see the pretty neat Halloween displays.  There will probably be more doing decorating, but so far looks pretty good.

Hope you are enjoying this nice Fall weather, even though we did have some rain but some really nice days. The leaves are sure falling off the trees, since it’s been so windy,  and the color has been pretty nice in most areas.   We are very lucky.  Pray for those in the states where Helene did so much damage.  Another storm, Milton, is to hit down there again this week.  Would be nice if it tracks back out to sea and give those people a break.  Devastation is heartbreaking.  Will take many, many months to get things back in order.   I’ve seen plenty of deer and turkeys lately. 

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 pm.  To order, call 440-645-9719 or 732-221-2803. 

Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 16th, 6 p.m. at the Township Building.  Membership dues now due.  See Kathy Isett.

Tyler McGuire, Liverpool, NY, spent a nice weekend with his Dad, Bob Jr. and visited with his Uncle B and Nina Weslowski and also with us.  Was a good time.  He and I even got to play some ladder golf, which he won every time.  It’s not about winning; it’s just fun.

Did you know Listerine has many uses, other than mouth wash?  Give your feet a pedicure by mixing Listerine with warm water and a cup of vinegar.  Soak your feet for 30 minutes.  It’s also good for getting rid of toenail fungus and is good for dry, cracked feet.

Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that may be coming up that you’d be interested in.  Let’s hope we get some more nice, warm, sunny weather.  Just not ready for what is sure to be coming.

Hope everyone is well and the viruses are staying away.   Guess that’s it for now.  Enjoy your week.  I think it’s to be pretty nice.  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 see ya next time.  Comments always welcome.
