This is life.” Folk left its impression on Jones in a very common place where many personal epiphanies have been known to occur; the family car. : “When I was really young, I remember we were by Fino’s in my parents’ blue Volkswagon and [ heard ‘Leaving on a Jet Plane.’ | remember thinking, ‘That's what I want to do, write songs.’ I fell in love with that song,” said Jones, adding that it was John Denver's version of the popular tune. Another moment of revelation regarding his future plans in music came when a substitute teacher for his ninth grade En- glish class gave the students an exercise she thought would help them deal with the recent loss of their regular teacher. “She made us listen to ‘Sounds of Silence’ (by Simon & Garfunkel) and write a little paper about it. After that, that was it,” said Jones. His path seemed to be set in stone from that moment on. Dur- ing his time at Lake-Lehman High School, he learned to play guitar and played in a band covering other people’s music. But, by the time he was graduating from Luzerne County Community Col- lege with a degree in journalism, the band he was in was playing his music. But, folk still beckoned him. After his band, Chair in the Moon, won the All College Band Blast in 1996, Jones decided to set out on his own. Slocum Insurance Agency, Inc. 575 Memorial Hwy.

He has played all over Pennsylvania including the Java Gallery in Luzerne, Rainforest Cafe in Tunkhannock, Village Pastimes Emporium in Drums and The Zone Cafe in Montrose where he hosted singer /songwriter nights. He as also played in Philadelphia, Nash- ville and New York. “In the folk scene there is unity. You don’t get into folk music be- cause you want to get rich. I got into music because I wanted to touch people. It’s the best feeling to have someone thank you for a song,” said Jones, when asked what keeps him going in the mu- sic business. Jones has an album coming out and a sponsorship from Back Mountain‘ Music Company. “My goal is to hit the road big time. I want to see the United States,” he said. “Songs I think are just float- ing out there.” He has written songs about a variety of topics including the as- sassination of John F. Kennedy Jr. and the Persian Gulf War. For Jones, there is nothing better than knowing someone enjoys his mu- sic and lyrics. “If I can write a song that someone could put themselves into and relate to, then I've done my job,” Jones said. - Jones will be performing at Vil- lage Pastimes Emporium in ‘Drums Jan. 31, the Java Gallery 4 Feb. 13 and the Zone Cafe Feb. 21. =]| eX 0] N06) Call around for prices - then make us your last call!

Fertilizer (continued from page 1) before a predicted storm, or dur- ing a storm. * Anyone who violates any pro- vision of the ordinance is subject to a fine of up to $1,000 per day, or up to 30 days in jail. Each day of violation is considered a sepa- rate incident, so the fines can build up at $1,000 per day. The ordinance also asks that solid, granular or pellet forms of fertilizers be used, since they are less likely to be washed into the water. One section of the ordinance states that the borough will send a pamphlet to each home owner in the borough, explaining how fertilizers can degrade the quality of the water, and what ¢an be done to minimize damage. Home owners will be asked to sign a statement that they have read and understand the new regula- tions. Lawn fertilizers are not the only source of phosphates in the lake. Phosphates occur naturally in dirt. leaves and rock. These materials break down in the lake. Many environmentalists believe the phosphorus that occurs in nature makes phosphorus unnecessary for healthy plants and lawns. Richard Baranowski, owner of Baran Landscaping, said there are many natural fertilizers people can use for their lawns. “It's always good to protect the envi- ronment. It might be a little more expensive, but there are so many quality natural products to choose" from,” said Baranowski, who has been in the business for six years: Andrews, whois also a member of the Luzerne County Conserva- tion Board, said the ban is one - step in the plan to keep the lake safe and clean. : The Harveys Lake Environmen- tal Advisory Committee had worked on the ban since October’ of 1996.
