        Gee, I can't believe this weather.  It's been nice during the day, even if it was a little cold early in the morning.  Last I heard, we may get some "snow", enough to shovel and plow on Friday into Saturday.  But, they say they are "tracking" it and we may get nothing at all.  Before we know it, the winter will be over and we'll be into Spring.  That will suit me.  Groundhog Day is Thursday.  Think he'll see his shadow and we'll have more winter weather.  No doubt in my mind; he'll see it with all the lights they use to show him out of his hole.  But, if we have what we've been having, that ain't too bad.
        Not a lot to report this week.  It's been pretty quiet.  Check other parts of the Sully to find out what's going on around the County and maybe you can take part or watch the events.
        Get well wishes to all you folks who have been hit with the "bug".  It's going around pretty well.  Hope you all are feeling much better.
        Happy Birthday wishes to Kyra Vinetelli, February 1st; Tyler McGuire will be 11 on Groundhog Day, the 2nd; Helen (Maximiak) Amon, 5th; Tiffany Popso, 7th; and Alex Aharonian, 11th.  Hope you all have a good day.
        Here are a couple of tips on ways to use Bounce Dryer sheets.  I never knew this, so it's something to try.
        HINT:   "To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet."   "Put a Bounce sheet in the vacuum cleaner for freshness."
     There are still Lopez History books available.  Contact Bob McGuire at the info below, if interested.
      We still have Lopez t-shirts, sweat shirts, license plates and caps available.  Contact me for more information.
      Guess that's the news for now.  Enjoy your week, whatever you may do.  Should be pretty nice to get out and get some fresh air.  Have news, call me at 928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at uvbob@epix.net.  I'll get it in for you.  I'll be here next time and thanks for reading.

        WOW!!  We've been having some pretty cool morning temperatures.  The wind is pretty fierce, too.  Guess we can't really complain; we haven't had much snow at all and hope it stays that way.   The sunshine looks so nice from sitting inside.  But, go outside and it's a different story.   It's almost the end of January already and it will be getting warmer as we go.
        Congratulations to John and Ember Baton on the birth of their son, Reese Michael, on the 23rd of November.  He joins a brother, Miles, at home.  Good luck and lots of fun and I'm sure Miles will be a big help with the new addition.
        Jim and Barbara Craig, Media, spent a few days at their home on Church Street.
        Congratulations to Cory McDonald on making Dean's List at PA College of Technology, Williamsport; Bachelor of Science, Information Technology: Network Specialist Concentration.
        Sister Martha and Mother Paula, Orthodox Transfiguration Monastery, Ellwood City, are spending some time at St. Nicholas House on Church Street.  They were so glad to see the bridge all done and able to travel back and forth.
        I know with the little bit of snow we did have, the snowmobilers were probably out and about.   The ski resorts were pleased with the cold weather so they could make some snow and have their places open for the long weekend.
        Haven't heard if the Eagles Mere toboggan slide was able to be built yet or not.  It gets cold, then it warms up, so have to wait and see.  I know there's a number in the paper you can call to get information.
        HINT:  "Stop cut apples browning in your child's lunch box by securing with a rubber band".  (This is something for you Mom's to try when you send apples to school with your child.)
        I know there are activities coming up soon.  February has the Winter Fest and Polar Bear Plunge and things going on at Camp Brule.  Keep watching the Sully for information on winter activities and maybe you can take part or just attend and watch.
        Happy Birthday wishes to Adell Bradshaw, 20th; Irene Pequignot; 22nd; and Alex & Ginny Stavisky's son, Mike, 24th.   Hope you have a nice day.
        Happy Birthday to our friend, Barb Dugan, a member of our Che-Hanna Rock & Mineral Club, as she celebrates on the 22nd.  Hope it's great!
        Guess that's about it from the Ice Box of PA.  Enjoy your week, even if it's a little brisk.  Remember, Spring is just around the corner.  We just have to find that corner.  Have news, call me at 928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at uvbob@epix.net.  I'll get your news in.  I'll be here next time and thanks for reading.
