I didn't get to coffee hour this past Thursday in order to go to WalMart in Mansfield with my sister Jeannette May. As I was leaving I didn't see many in attendance. Maybe five or six but they were having a fine time and assured me they would talk nice about me while I was away.
By Kathie Lepper It sure is a typical March day here on "The Ridge". As I was looking out my window earlier, the sun was shining brightly on huge falling snowflakes. It was very pretty, but I think the snow has its time and now should give it up so the sun can do its magic.

As more and more people look to natural remedies for curing ailments, essential oil therapy is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Essential oils have been used throughout the centuries for medicinal purposes, but it is only with the help of modern chemistry that the value can be truly understood. The ancient civilizations that used essential oils didn’t know why they worked, they just knew they did. Interestingly, pharmaceutical science has tried to replicate many of the valuable properties found in essential oils but with limited success. The natural oils are much more complex than just one chemical compound and beyond human understanding. By Lorelei Colton First of all, those of you who may have read in the Sunday Review the article written about the gathering held at the Rialto last Saturday regarding Dr. Kirkowski’s office closing, my husband Ron was misquoted. He did NOT say that Dr. K was asked to train Ms Albright and he refused, but, rather, Ron said Dr. K was asked to train “someone” at the Mud Creek Arnot facility to take over his patients and he declined to do so. Regardless, this whole thing is so upsetting and heartbreaking for so many people. Having a doctor who is also a friend, someone you trust with your life – and your family’s life, only to have them snatched out from under you for what appears to be no good reason - given or implied – is tearing up a lot of people. Ron and I are still very undecided where we are going to turn to for a family physician.
As promised last week I will relate my experience at the Mega-Mart. For many years I have played at building a model railroad. I have started, then tore apart more times than I can recall. I have had a subscription off and on for about 25-30 years. Now whenever the bug bites, usually in January or February, I just stop and buy the "Model Railroader" magazine at the big store.

At the time I'm recalling, this hardware was a forerunner of the present Casey Clegg's Hardware. It was only about 1/4 as large as the present. The side toward the drug store was Tripp's Grocery Store, the leading one in town. Levi Root and Ray Newell were each prominent citizens of the town. Mr. and Mrs. Newell lived where Lida Peterson now does. Mr. and Mrs. Root lived where Attorney Black now does. By Elaine Gee (Last Week's Items)
My grandson, L.J. Lundy is coming home for a few days. Then he is going to Hawaii for two or three years. Vi and Ron and Laura were here Thursday morning. Granddaughter Jessie and Connor and Kylie were here, Thursday night and brought their cat over for a few months. They are staying over to Terri and Boo's as they are going to build a new home. By Esther Butcher Hope everyone heard the wonderful sound of all the geese going on Monday. They finally got in gear to get North and bring on some warmer weather.
Friday evening grand kids Hunter Watkins and Quianna Rockwell spent the night with Cindy and Brian and went to Vinnies for supper. Saturday Brian and Cindy went for a ride up on Armenia Mountain, Tioga County. A lot of snow was gone, but some roads you still couldn’t travel on. Sunday Cindy and Brian met grandsons Cameron and Damon and their Daddy Mike at Burger King for lunch. By Richard & Joyce Pratt Spring has finally started to show. The snow is mostly gone leaving flooding from the melted snow and rain.
Our grandson Scott tells us the sap has been running pretty good this past week. Tulips and spring flowers are starting to peek through the leaves and snow. Pastor Richard Noggle reminded us Sunday night that Easter is only three weeks away. By H. Rockwell & Son Ahoy! Welcome aboard Noah's Ark!
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" and a white-shelled egg by any other color would still have the same inside make-up! It's true! The only physical difference concerning eggs is in the color of the shell. Yes, there are people who say brown eggs taste better, and that probably is true in many instances, but the taste difference comes from the diet of the hen, not the color of the shell. By Evangelist Eric Smith “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.” John 15:18-21.
By Jim Lewis Let’s see, you are one person in over 7 billion (7,000,000,000) people on the planet. We are but a speck on this smaller planet that rotates around a smaller sun. This smaller sun is one of at least 200 billion, (200,000,000,000) suns, (stars) in just our Milky Way Galaxy alone. Two hundred billion! Our galaxy is just one of over one billion galaxies in the universe. How small of a speck am I compared to the unimaginable enormity of the universe? Really think about it. Does this make you feel unimportant or insignificant? It shouldn’t and here’s why.
Maple Weekend 2015
One of the very best outdoors events that our family enjoys, is the annual Maple Weekend that the Tioga & Potter counties Maple Producers Associations holds. This year is the 11th annual event. For more detailed information than we can fit into this short column, you can go to their website www.pamaple.com The event runs Saturday & Sunday, March 21st & 22nd from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. both days. By Bill Bower After the hard winter we have experienced, the buckets hanging from the maple trees are a welcome sight. If a contest was to be held on the tree most beneficial to man, what tree would you vote for. Would it be the apple tree that not only was an important tree to our ancestors but still is today? How about either the white pine tree or the hemlock tree? Both of these trees helped make Pennsylvania a lumber giant in the late 1800's.

The gun bash was well attended Saturday night. It was a full house. By Fr. Michael McCormick Dear Readers,
Back in the early '90's I was the Catholic Campus Minister at West Liberty State College and Bethany College in northern West Virginia. Our friend David Morris, God rest his soul, was once connected with Bethany College. Each week of football season I would get a call from a college student or two asking, "Father, do you know what that Jn 3:16 means? Is it a secret message or something from the Bible?" It was a great opportunity to share the Good News with college students. |
