FATHER’S
DAY
IS
JUNE 15th
Shirts.
SOONER OR LATER it happens
to almost everyone I’m told. Just
driving home from work not
knowing you're violating the law
when you see those red flashing
lights, in your rear view mirror.
In an instant, I realized that cop
and those lights were meant for me
to pull over. Hands shaking, praying
I didn’t cry but that I could act
calm and cool, I rolled my window
down, looked up into that stern,
unsmiling face and heard “license,
insurance and owner’s card,
please.”
What did I do, I
asked. He said
“passing on the
berm.” For 10
months I've
driven that same
road, cars take
the inside every
single night and
turn in at Agway
usually there are :
a whole line of JEAN
them, this night HILLARD
I am the lone car. No warning, no
explanation, just it’s against the
law.
A $52.00 fine and I don’t know how
the point system works but I’m sure
there will be something there, too.
Just a normal day, off to work do
the best job I can, then home for my
granddaughter, but it wasn’t just a
normal day. To all of you who do
the same as I’ve been doing, don’t!
One night a cop will arrest you and
if you’re like me, you're really
innocent, but illegal.

SPEAKING OF COPS, our sincere
get well wishes go to the two who
were shot while in the line of duty
last Saturday morning in the wee
hours. Just doing their job and
someone walks in the police station
and shoots them in the leg area.
Their job is so risky, to Wayman
Miers and James Tupper, two fine
patrolmen protecting us and risking
their own lives, we thank them for a
‘thankless’ job and wish them a
speedy recovery.

condition following that same

SATURDAY, early in the evening,
yet another accident had the Back
Mountain residents in a dither when
a car rammed into the famous hot
dog place, the Ranch Wagon in
Shavertown. Luckily, the car went
into the ice cream room where no
one was at the time and didn’t hit
any of the cars in the parking lot.
Usually at 6 p.m. on a Saturday the
lot there is jammed with vehicles,
this particular Saturday it wasn’t.
Heavy damage to the building
resulted.

IT’S A GIRL! Wendy Bolton,
instructor at Great Beginning
problems.
NS
delivered a healthy baby girl on
Thursday, June 5. Both Mom and
daughter are doing great. I wonder
if Wendy will be exercising this
week. She hadn’t missed a week
right up until delivery.
Congratulations Wendy, I’ll bet she
stretches and jumps around
already. Little brother Jeffrey and
Dad now have two lovely ladies
home with them.

I GOOFED! Two weeks ago I told
you about the lovely visit and give
Helen Sheaan gave her Dad and
Mom. Well her dad is Stephan
Waldow (now Waldow Sheean) and
I inadvertently gave him his
daughter’s last name also. All he
should have gotten was that lovely
Cockatiel and the pleasure of her
visit from California, she wanted
her own name. Sorry Mr. Waldow, I
hope you’re still enjoying your new
pet.

MRS. THELMA CULP, Ricketts
Glen area of Sweet Valley has
returned home after spending two
weeks in Jacksonville, Florida. Mrs.
Culp attended the wedding of her
grandson while there. I'm sorry to
hear that she became ill when
returning home and spent a few
days in the hospital. She is doing
better now and it’s good to see and
talk to her again. It turns out this
very friendly lady knew my father
very well over the years and I sure
enjoyed those few minutes she spent
talking about him. “The Farvers,
she said, especially Paul (my dad),
why I knew him probably better
than your mother did.”” It’s a small,
small world.

JILL CROMPTON, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. Crompton,
Trucksville, and Karen Thompson,
daughter of Ed and Theresa
Thompson, Dallas, left via airplane
Saturday afternoon for California.
The two girls will be spending a
couple weeks visiting their former
classmate and good friend Renee
Duran who now lives and works in
California. Last minute flight jitters
had the girls very apprehensive, but
their emotions were under control
enough to board the plane when
departure time came. It was Jill's
first flight and Karen's second. I'm
sure it will all be worth it and
they’ll have a great trip.
