According to Judge, car cruises at the beginning of this year were slow, something he attributes to the current economy. “What’s happened in the last year or so is we're losing people due to gas prices and the cost of eating at restaurants and all,” Judge said. “I'm hoping with the easing of the gas prices, maybe we'll get people to come out more.” Hi Lites Motor Club meets at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of ev- ery month at Big Ten Pizza and Subs on Route 118 in Lehman Township.

It was hard.” Yet Schmid was able to support his wife, Rosemary, and their three children, Renee Benedetti, Jerry Jr. and Cheryl. He has loved his community and sees his cus- tomers more like friends. “I know all their names; I'm go- ing to miss them all and I have mixed feelings about closing.” he said. The feeling in the community is mutual. .“He’s been a fixture in the Back Mountain,” said Kingston Town- ship police Chief James Balavage. “His community service should earn him an award. He’s respon- ded to so many crashes and de- voted so much spare time to the town. He would always help us out.

This 89-year-old community leader has been helping his fellow man since he was a child. He took a true interest in the world around him at 13, writing editorial letters and becoming involved in the community.

A lover of the land, Bill always plants an extensive garden. “Whatever comes out of the soil must go back in,” he claims. “Three things are important to preserving our environment: clean air, clean water and good topsoil.” PRESENTED BY THE LAW OFFICES OF EUGENE D.
