After interviewing several area residents, it was learned that other lake residents had noticed the mysterious substance — and each had their own 25 Cents By WALLY KOCHER Staff Correspondent Joe Schappert, a Harveys Lake resident, discovered a mysterious substance clinging to his boat and car early last Thursday morning. The substance, which appeared the day after a severe rainstorm hit the area, was yellowish-green in color, and had a gritty texture. Schappert explained how he made his discovery. “1 was opening the garage door to let my wife get her car out to go to work,” he said. “When I looked down at the bottom of the doors, I noticed a film of whatever this stuff is on my garage floor.” After some investigation, Schappert found the same type of film on his car ‘and boat. Being the Vice Chairman of the Harveys Lake Municipal Authority, theory as to what the substance could have been. Schappert feels the substance looked like, and could have been; a form -of sulpher. ‘‘Maybe it could be attributed to the coal-burning industrial plants out west,” said Schappert. ‘This isn’t the first time I noticed it. I thought the first time was just a fluke, and that was after a hard storm, too. Now, I’m just not too sure.” 2 Schappert became alarmed that whatever was getting on his car was also getting in the lake, and perhaps - affecting it. Vincelli receives award Gary M.

Alternate hobby radio equipment. By ANN DEVLIN Staff Correspondent It all started when my father, Jim Devlin tasted a batch of my uncle’s homemade orange wine. My Uncle Lee, who lives in Florida, had such a plentiful orange crop one year, he couldn’t even give all his fruit away, so he decided to make orange wine. Although my father can’t boast about an excessive orange crop in his Shavertown backyard, he does have more than his fair share of one crop-dandelions. ‘After years of wondering how to get rid of those pesty dandelions in he lawn, I thought I'd finally found e answer - dandelion wine,” my Dad said. However, it took more than just the dandelions in our yard to make 10 gallons of wine. The hunt for the required quota of dandelions took my father into neighboring lawns an nearby fields. “Just when I thought I’d never have to look at dandelions again, after ridding my lawn of them, I found myself searching all over for as many more as I could find,” he recalled. While my dad spent days gather- ing the dandelions, my mother had a growing list of chores waiting to be done at home. “The grass has to be cut, the faucet has to be fixed. and the garbage has to be taken out,” I can remember her saying. But the chores had to wait. First my father transported huge plastic vats and cases of empty bottles into the basement. Although my father didn’t have one of those convenient wine presses with the cranks and pedals, he didn’t let that stop him. Instead, he began diligently crush- ing the dandelions by hand with a homemade, hand-held dandelion crusher. I'll never forget the look of horror on my mother’s face when she came down to investigate the noise in her once perfectly arranged cellar. Stacks of bottle:filled boxes- lined the walls, plastic fermentors were placed strategically all around the room, and barrels of dandelions took up whatever ‘space was left. My mother marched into the room with her broom, clearing a path as she made her way through the cellar. My brother, Jerry, had a hard time finding his cherished motorcy- cle in the same place twice, as it was gradually moved from the center of the basement to the back corner, and then sent out to the back porch. My softball glove, hockey sticks, and ice skates all found new homes as bottles of wine chemicals took their places on the shelves. As I went downstairs to retrieve the rest of my possessions, the strong, pungent odor of fermenting dandelions and yeast made me stop short, as if my nose had been thrust over a bottle of ammonia. I then solemnly vowed I would never take even a sip of that murky, smelly mixture of pulp and yeast sediment. The smell of the wine, three months of fermentation, a constant reminder of my father’s latest endeavors, lasted the full three months of fermentation. Once the wine was completed and my mother tasted the finished prod- uct, she forgot all about the messy cellar (at least while the after- effects lasted...). My brother will- ingly gave up his motorcycle park- ing spot, and the smell didn’t seem to bother me nearly as much, either. With compliments and praises still resounding in my dad’s ears, he started experimenting making wine from other types of fruit, using everything from rhubarb to bananas. My sister-in-law, Marilyn, was greeted with a bottle of wine every time she visited, and another was put in her arms as she left. “I had more wine than I could drink.” laughed Marilyn. “I just couldn’t keep up with the supply.” Just when there was no room to store even one more bottle of wine, my dad’s interest in his ham radio hobby was rekindled and, gradually, amateur radio equipment pushed out the wine-making apparatus. “I wonder if I'll still get accepted] into the Holy Rosary Society,” she’s always mumbling to herself. former Cecelia Russo and have four children: Gary Michael, 17; Christo- pher Steven, 16; Rachael, 12° and Leah, 6.

By WALLY KOCHER Staff Correspondent (EDITOR’S NOTE: The month of May has been designated as ‘Older American’s Month.” The Dallas Post has decided to honor these individuals by featuring an Older American in each week’s issue during the month of May. We hope to show that there is life, quality life, after 65. We have chosen Dr. F'. Budd Schooley as this week’s honor- ary Older American.) Dr. F. Budd Schooley, 78, has been in the public eye in Dallas, practically ever since he moved here 52 years ago. As a young man with many ambi- tions, Dr. Schooley opened an office on Lake Street in Dallas in 1932. His technique was different from all the rest. Dr. Schooley mingled medicine with prayer, and still does. “My first experience with prayer and medicine happened while I was practicing at the Moses Taylor Hos- pital in Scranton. I was called on the case of a young boy who had pneumonia. Around midnight or one in the morning he got very bad, and I was called to his room. He was dying. I prayed all the way to his room, and(After I got there. Early in the morning, he recovered,” exclaimed Dr. Schooley. “After moving to Dallas, I was called to a man’s home who had two operations for a chronic kidney dis- ease. He was in bad shape. By the time I got there, he was in bed, blind, and couldn’t speak too well. He said something to: me, but I didn’t understand. His wife told me he wanted me to pray for him. I did and by the time I left, the man was up and around and he could once again see.” Dr. Schooley isn’t afraid to admit that God helps him a great deal with his patients. The hobby he gives the most attention to is his jwriting. During the 30’s and 40’s, Dr. Schooley was the Associate Editor for The Dallas Post. He also wrote a column enti- tled ‘‘Health Topics.” Keeping with his writing, he is presently working on his fifth book entitled, ‘‘Spiritual Journey,” which is a story of his past medical experiences. He authored his first book, ‘The Word,” in 1963 when he was 58 years old. Although Dr. Schooley was extremely busy with his medical practice and writing, he didn’t forget his community. He is pres- ently the president of the Back Mountain Protective Association, which presents an annual award to the person who does the most for their community. What’s Dr. Schooley’s secret for such an active life? “If you have faith in yourself, love for others, and stay away from degenerating attitudes like bigotry and prejudice,” says Dr. Schooley, ‘‘anyone can have an active live!” Mrs. Grace McCue is president of the club and Mrs. Ann Marie Shan- non is chairman of the Scholarship Committee.
