You know the big jobs that go over and under and through. If you have to ask why, you haven’t been out on our roads and I don’t mean Oak Hill roads only. The state and township roads are a disaster. Wednesday morning I was dumb enough to try and travel on 42nd St. The way I figured it, Idetown is a down hill road with patches of ice under the snow, so take the flat road 42nd St. Oh, if I only knew. Riding on my right I hit a gully that took me 40 minutes and help from Joe Onzik to back out. Before Joe left he said “You'll be alright.” Little did he know that when I tried the left side of the road, my tire became ‘hung-up’. So there I was walking home with a loose dog tugging at my hat and bag making my walk a little more aggravating. The first thing I did when I reached home was phone PennDOT and told the gentleman (who was sorry he answered) what I thought of ‘“‘our crews are out plowing and cin- dering.” Sorry to learn that Mike Rempliewicz, Sr. is a medical patient at Wilkes- Barre ‘General Hospital. Blue-eyed Stephanie Burke will be four years old Jan. 18; Cathy Brady, the eat-em-up kid, will celebrate her 10th bir- thday, January and my commare Yolanda Happy birthday and wishes for many more. Try and figure this - on the loose, why would anyone want to arrest me. Monday morning in the Dallas Post Office as. I was happily licking my stamps, Na ~~ a tall good looking man came over to me and said, “Is that your stationwagon that’s running outside?” “Yes, but don’t tell me it slipped into reverse and is on display in the Acme.” “No, but you can be arrested for leaving your car running and unat- tended.” My first thought was ‘do I look like an easy pick up?’ As it turned out the gen- tleman was an off-duty state trooper who was warning me against tempting someone to steal my. car. It’s’ a. little hilarious to be arrested because some thief stole your “car. It probably makes sense somewhere, somehow to someone, but not to me. (And to think I and Mrs. Yurish who will celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary. Beginning this Sunday, Jan. 29, J. R. Davis Fire: Company will sponsor a bingo party from 2 p.m. till 9. If the parties are suc- bingos will be held every other Sunday thereafter. The fire hall is located on Route 415 with entrance and parking on Idetown Road. Proceeds will go toward equipment and up- keep. I write this closing with a heavy and sad heart, my friend and pastor Father Thomas Jordan is relocating to Sayre where ° he will be Dean of Bradford and Sullivan Counties and pastor to the Church of The Epiphany. Oh, its a nice ad- vancement and I’m happy for him, but sad to see him leave. Who am I going to argue, disagree and. joke with... Father Jordan, I know I speak for many, many people...thank you for your guidance, friendship and love. Wish you the very best of luck, happiness and good health...your friend- ...Bridgette.
