Riverview Towers, the
grand mansion at the inter-
section of Rtes. 441 and 23,
will be auctioned on
Saturday, May 9th.
‘The house, one of the
stateliest in Marietta, has a
long and interesting his-
tory. It was built in 1860 by
Henry Watts, founder of
the Watts Furnace Co. The
stone of its walls was
imported from Austria, to
which Watts was ambassa-
dor under President
Andrew Johnson. The ivy
which climbs the walls was
brought from Kenilworth
Castle, England, by Watts’
son Ethelbert.
The grounds contain
flower beds and exotic
trees in variety, a swim-
ming pool, and tennis
courts. The contents of the
house will be auctioned
also.

Mount Joy feminist
Carol Eveschild wins award
for writing radio spots on women
Carol Eveschild in her Mving room at 537 Martin Avenue, Mount Joy
Carol Eveschild, of S37
Martin Avenue in Mount
Joy, is a dedicated feminist
and a would-be profession-
al radio broadcaster. She
has already bten a radio
spot writer, and recently
won a prize for her work at
WDDL last year.
She was one of 37
women in the state, and
five in the county, who won
awards from the Central
Pennsylvania chapter of
WICI, Women In Commun-
ications, Inc. (Formerly
Theta Sigma Phi). Carol
got an honorable mention
for the ‘‘Herstory’’ series
of 60 and 90-second spots
about women.
The spots were dis-
continued early this year
because the announcer who
had been reading them quit
at WDDL. Carol may be
writing more next fall for
WNCE, which is WDDL’s
sister station on the FM
band.
‘““‘Herstory’’ is of course
a pun on ‘‘history,” a title
Carol did not invent. Not
all the women she wrote
about were historical, how-
ever: ‘‘l started off writing
about local women,’’ Carol
explains. ‘‘Many of them
were my friends at first.
Most of my friends are
feminists, and feminists
tend to be interesting
people.”
Carol picked women from
a wide range of occupations
and ages. She once wrote
about Becky Ruhl when
Becky was Girl of the
Month at Donegal High
School.
Carol is a relative new-
comer to Mount Joy. She
has lived all over the
country: Connecticut, State
College, New York, South
Carolina. She has been in
Mount Joy since last
August.
Carol is a friend of most
local feminists, and was
part of the controversial
group that forced the ¢sale
of WGAL last year, the
Feminist Media Rights
coalition. Joyce
Reimherr-Perry of Marietta
was also a member.
Unlike Joyce, who chose
to combine her last name
and her husband’s when
she married, Carol is what
she calls a ‘‘Lucy Stoner,”
after the first woman to
keep her own name after
marriage. The description
isn’t quite accurate,
though: Carol changed her
own birth name to Eves-
child.
‘‘My mother’s name was
Evelyn, so 1 picked
Eveschild for my last
name,’ she explains.
Carol is married to John
Fornicola. They have a son,
Joshua Israel Fornicola,
aged S.
‘“If Joshua had been a
girl, we would have given
him my last name,” Carol
says.
She hopes to attend Penn
State at Middletown and
study broadcasting.
