Mom’s toy Shavertown resident Cindy Olshemski and her two children, Stephen and Gabrielle, admire the miniature farmhouse which she Storm (continued from page 1) services coordinator Gail Ide. “It looks almost like a whiteout. I'm sort of on standby, waiting for a call from the supervisors, getting out my lists and keeping tabs on everything.” Ide said that she didn’t know whether or not she would be able to make her famous chicken soup for the road crew, as she had done during the March, 1993, blizzard. “I don’t think that we have enough bones and soup things in the freezer,” she laughed. At Harveys Lake, Rick Boice had been mayor for only 12 hours when he was faced with what he called “a serious situation.” “It will be a lot easier if people will stay home and not go out unless it's absolutely necessary,” he said. “I heard that we're getting more than an inch an hour.” He added that he would con- tinue to monitor conditions until noon, when he would decide whether or not to declare a state of emergency. This declaration would allow only emergency ve- hicles out on the roads, he said. Secretary Carole Samson said that she had seen the state plow trucks going up and down Route 415 hill fairly regularly. “We're doing the best we can,” she said. “They just have to keep on plowing.” In Kingston Township, Carole Loberg said that she couldn't see past Knob Hill from her office in the municipal building. “Traffic is moving very slowly on the highway,” she said. It moved even more slowly after a car broke down in the north- bound lane of Route 309 in the rock cuts in Kingston Township. As roads filled with snow as fast as they were cleared, road crews and emergency personnel could only do their best and keep on plowing. POST PHOTO/GRACE R.

Are mittens warmer than gloves? A. Yes, they are, Mittens have less surface area to lose heat from and all the fingers are together. Gloves give better dexterity. Gloves or mittens should be large enough so your fingers don't touch the ends when you hold the poles.

GREGORY Retired 20-year magistrate Gregory (continued from page 1) Gregory said that he tried to be as compassionate as possible, especially when imposing fines and court costs. “The court costs are already high, before you add the fine,” he said. Gregory makes a distinction between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. “For example, there are laws against littering, but do they apply to the fisherman who accidentally got his lure caught in a tree on a bad cast?” he said. “And should we prosecute someone who has 21 shiners in his bait bucket in- stead of the legal 20? Maybe someone miscounted.” Gregory said that he always believed in giving defendants the reasons behind his legal decisions. “Sometimes you'll take a better view of the sentence if I give you my reasons beind it,” he said. “Sometimes people would argue with me, but felt that they should know what I was thinking.” Now that he has retired, Gre- gory said that it's time to play - hunting and fishing, doing every- thing that he never had the time to do — possibly even writing a book. “I want to write about the humorous side of being a district magistrate,” he said. “Some things that happen in the courtroom are really very funny. I'd like todoitin a similar style to Kingston author William Pugh's The Shaftdiggers, about the men who worked in the mines.” Gregory's writing experience includes a series of shorts about the infamous Jackalope Club, which appeared regularly in Jane Bolger's column in the old Sunday Independent. A local sportmen’s group, the Jackalope Club hung out at Bill's Diner and met at Painter's Den on Dutch Mountain. Gregory takes the credit for bagging the critter which graced Bill's Diner for many years. “A huge Belgian rabbit, about five or six feet long, was killed on the road in front of our house,” he chuckled. “I wired a 10-point deer rack on its head and my parents hung it on the front of their store on Carverton Road. You should have seen all the traffic stopping in front of the place to look at it.” Although he admitted that re- tirement after two decades of public service might be tough to get used to, Gregory has no re- grets. “It's been a good experience,” he said. 550 WASHINGTON AVE LARKSVILLE, PA 779-1892 QUALITY ICE CREAM "1.99 1/2 Gal.
