River of Life River Of Life at Kingdom 0 MINUTES Continued from Page 1 to retire and give it up. I thought here’s an opportunity to serve my community so I ran and won. “I enjoyed giving the adminis- tration the authority that they well deserved. The job of a school director was to make sure there was enough money so the schools could operate. We tried our best to keep the taxes down, but there was no way I was going to nickel-and-dime a kid. I was elected four times and halfway through the fourth term I ran for county commissioner and got elected.” GH: You recently called your last square dance. What was that like? RJ: “It was very touching be- cause I started when I was 13. The first night I called, it was all @: school kids, and then as I called more people in there 20s and 30s would come out. So now that I am 68, people like 88 years old came out to hear me call my last one. A lot of people from Ply- mouth Township and Harter High School in west Nanticoke where I graduated came out to hear me call as well. “I'm an emotional guy to begin with. I can’t even watch Little House on the Prairie without cry- ing. I only talked for a little bit and that was pretty much it. If they would have had people up there talking about me I would have been up there crying.” GH: You stopped volunteering at the Mercy Center in Dallas af- ter 25 years of service. Do you volunteer anywhere in Georgia? RJ: “The one place I volunteer is called The Place and it’s a building where needy families come daily in a bread line. They get canned goods we bag for them, and bread, fruit, different salads and desserts. People also drop off clothing and we have a thrift store and the proceeds go back into the program. My wife Marie and I enjoy doing that once HARVEST Continued from Page 1 Janel Moon of Wilkes-Barre and Teresa Popielarski of Plains Township sold their hand-deco- rated serving ware at the festiv- al. For the past two years, the pair has continued to spice up ordinary plates and glassware ith glass gems and silver, cop- &. and brass wiring. “She saw a book on it, tried it and roped me into it,” said Moon, referring to Popielarski. “We sell a lot of martini glass sets and cheese knives and dis- hes.” Popielarski said each piece takes a few hours to complete, but gluing is by far the hardest part. “So far the response from peo- ple has been very nice,” Moon said. “The people like it. Our stuff makes great Christmas gifts, too, because you can cus- tom order.” Also during the festival, at- tendants were able to take a guided tour of the Hayfield House, which was built during the Great Depression by Mr. and Mrs. John N. Conyngham as mostly a summer residence. Individuals at the craft fair were quick to stop by the Bur- dick Creek Gardens stand to sample one of their many choic- es of bread dippers, including the overall favorite of the day, sun-dried tomato and rosemary. “My mother owns a garlic farm out in Dimock,” Kim Gre- gory said. “We hand-package all of our bread dippers.” Cheryl Korb of Dalton, who was selling folk art, said she thinks the festival is a great show that draws a big crowd and is a very pleasant atmo- sphere when the weather is good. And even when it’s not. FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Blacksmith, Rodney Mahoney, Sweet Valley, displayed and forged tools during the arts festival. Watch the mail for your Wyoming County United Way Campaign envelope. The 3%th Annual Campaign begins September 01. It’s what matters™ a week. “When I go back to Georgia I will volunteer at the North Side Forsyth Hospital. I push wheel- chairs, work in the waiting room and talk to people who are wait- ing for their loved ones to come out of surgery. For now it’s only once every three weeks because I'm the new guy on the block, but it will move up to twice a week. At the Good Shepard Roman Ca- tholic Church, I'm a Eucharistic Minister for the homebound and the sick.” GH: Why do you enjoy volun- teering so much? RJ: “I enjoy helping the chal- lenged. When you go into a nurs- ing home, you know that a person is challenged. When you go and sit down with someone in a nurs- ing home, they smile at you be- cause a lot of times no one else comes to see them. “There is nothing like giving back to the community. It’s worth the gallon of gas it costs you to drive there.” square dance. A dinner will be held after the admission charge and the public is invited.
