Richard Howe displays
paintings at library
The November Art Wall
Display at the Back Mountain
Memorial Library currently fea-
tures a collection of paintings
by Richard Howe. Originally
from the Harding and Pittston
areas, Howe has been a resident
of the Back Mountain for the
past 15 years. He received his
degree in Fine Arts and educa-
tion from College Misericordia
and was a member of the first
class that included male stu-
dents. Retired from teaching
art in the Wilkes-Barre School
system, Howe enjoys working
in watercolor and colored pen-
cil. His work has been exhib-
ited in shows and galleries
in Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Connecticut. He often works
from photographs taken by
his wife, Debbie, during their
recent travels.

* It was noted wit Oscar Wilde who made the following sage obser-
vation: “Every saint has a past and every sinner a future.”
* It seems that having blond hair was popular in ancient Rome,
too. Those not naturally blessed with golden hair, though, had to go
through a bit of an ordeal to change their natural color. The treatment
of choice was pigeon droppings. Messy, perhaps, but effective.
* Those who study such things say that dung beetles use the Milky
Way as a navigational aid.
* In June 2009, the town of Cave Creek, Ariz., was faced with an
electoral tie in the race for a city council seat: Each candidate received
exactly 660 votes. According to the state constitution, such ties can
be broken by a game of chance. After some discussion, the candidates
agreed that they would each pull a card at random out of a deck, and
the one with the highest card would be declared the winner of the
election. Thomas McGuire drew the six of hearts, then waited while
his opponent, Adam Trenk, took his turn. Trenk pulled the king of
hearts, securing his city council victory.
* You may be surprised to learn that clams can live to be 200 years
old.
* If you're of a morbid inclination and have some time to kill in
Chicago, head to that city’s Graceland Cemetery. Find the monument
known as “Eternal Silence” — a tall figur
e in robes — and look into
the statue's eyes. It’s said that if you do that, youll have a vision of
your own death.
Thought for the day: “I arise in the morning torn between a desire
to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it
hard to plan the day.” — E.B. White

YOUR SPACE
Dallas Post photographer Charlotte Bartizek snapped this photo in her backyard Tuesday morning, after she had written het
feelings about the first snowfall of the season in the snow. Many Back Mountain residents feel the same way Charlottes does - i
we get no more snow this winter, they’ll be happy. Although temperatures were expected to soar near 60 this weekend, it’s a
