Well, we wanted rain and we sure are getting rain. Now, if we'd get some
sunshine and warm weather, the gardens would do nicely.

Marian's granddaughter, Tina, a professional dancer on the cruise line.They
went to Alaska and stopped at Ketchan,. Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, and
Anchorage. In Sitka, there is a Russian Church they went in. The stores
have anything you want to buy in Russian things. They even had a Ben
Franklin store so Marian had to take a picture of that. They also took a
helicopter ride to go ride the dog sleighs. They all had a good time in
Alaska and enjoyed being with Tina as they hadn't seen her for six months.
Kitty Maximiak enjoyed some time recently with her daughter and family,

Sorry I didn't get my news in last week, so I'll do that now. Let's just say I
was busy and on vacation as we had our grandson, Tyler, from Harvey's Lake
with us from Thursday to Thursday. He's an active little five year old and kept
me going. We had lots of fun together and he enjoyed feeding the fish at the
pond, "skipping" stones in the creek and just playing in the yard. The weather
was a little cool and rained one day, but we still had fun.
Written for last week:
Congratulations to Tanya Stasiak who was one of the graduates from SC High
School on the 9th. Good luck in your endeavors.
Got the following e-mail; sounds like they had a grand time.
The Neufer sisters, Nancy [Loporcaro], Barbara[Harvey], and Rose[Bizup] and
their husbands just returned from a fifteen day vacation touring the West----- Utah,
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, & Colorado. A great time was had by all, packing in many
days of hiking, touring, picture taking, and of course eating. Only one sister had to
repack her suitcase in the middle of the airport because it was over weight, can you
guess which one?

so make arrangements to get your articles to him.
Now, I'll do my news for this week.
Our weather is finally turning rather nice. Was a really nice weekend and was
warm (hot to some). I won't say it's too hot as we've had cold weather too long.

I saw a flock of geese go North last week one day. Guess they are
the stragglers or wanted to stay longer where it was warm. Not too many
humming birds around right now. Someone mentioned they may have
gotten caught in those hurricanes down South when they were migrating.
We do have a couple and plenty of other birds at the feeders.

I can't believe
the cold mornings we've been having. Some days seems like
snow on the ground. All last week it was in the 20's with a
frost every morning. It warms up some, but the wind is
sometimes really rough and seems to go through a person.
Hopefully, we'll get some better weather soon. Tom Clark says
still cool for at least the next seven days. We do need the
rain and he says we may get some on Thursday. That would
really help the whole area
with watering gardens and especially
with the threat of brush fires, etc.
Alex Stavisky says to reserve your
2006 mug now. Still $20. Contact him at
astavisky@yahoo.com or you can contact me. Also, if
anyone wants to special order any old issues, he will try to
put in a special order but no guarantees. It will depend on
response and supplier. I know there were some that didn't get
an earlier mug and were inquiring so if you want any of them,
please let him know.
On Thursday, 4 May, we saw our
humming birds return. They were going to the same area where
we always put the feeder. We put the juice in and before long
two were there feeding. We'll probably get more as time goes
by; last year we had eight. Maybe that's a good sign. The
gold finches have also come back.
Josh Anderson, a student at
Bucknell University, Lewisburg, spent last Monday to Wednesday
with his grandmother, Mrs. Katherine Matychak.
Anthony Sneidar, Sr., Anthony
Sneidar, Jr., Anthony Sneidar III, and their friend, Joe, all
from Philadelphia spent a few days at their home on Church
Street. Came in to do some turkey hunting, but don't know if
they were successful or not.
Civic Association meeting on
Wednesday, 17 May, 7 p.m. at the Pavilion. Flea Market on
Saturday and Sunday, 10 and 11 June, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Come
see what's for sale. Have stuff to sell? Bring it up, grab a
table and see what you can do.
Happy Birthday to
Tina Hubiak (24) and Scott Woodford who both celebrate on the
12th. Special birthday wishes to my good friend, Cory
McDonald, who will be 14 on the 15th; and Mrs. Della Kochubba
celebrates this week also. Hope you all have a great day.
Happy Anniversary to Steve and
Julann (Popso) Rice as they celebrate on the 12th.
Congratulations and many more happy days.
Don't forget the Relay For Life
is 19 and 20 May at the Forksville Fairgrounds, 3 p.m. to 3
p.m. Lots of activities and fun for everyone and a great fund
raiser for the Cancer Society.
I see the gardens and flower
beds are starting to take shape and, hopefully, will be in
full bloom soon. If the frost stays away, there'll be some
nice flowers and produce. Really need those warm nights to
get things going, and some rain to get them to grow.
That's the news for now. Enjoy
your week, whatever you may do. Have news call me at
928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at
uvbob@epix.net. I'll put your news in. I'll be here next
time.
April 24, 2006
Well, we did get some
much needed rain. I heard on radio this afternoon that we may
have snow showers on Wednesday. I thought I heard wrong, but
with the weather we've been having, anything is possible. The
sun does feel good, but the wind is too cold. All the things
that have started to bud will get frozen.
John, Gretchen and Aine Lee
McDonald, Worthington, MA, spent Friday to Monday of Easter
with his parents, John and JoAnn McDonald. Joining them for
Easter dinner was Kitty (McDonald) Maximiak. Nice time for
all to be together.
Spending Friday to Monday of
Orthodox Easter with Mrs. Theresa Kulsicavage was her son, Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Kulsicavage, Stevens, VA.
Joining them for Easter Sunday dinner
was Mr. and Mrs. Ronald
Kulsicavage and Mr. and Mrs. Randy
Weaver, all from Dushore.
Tony, Donna and Marie Cikovic,

Don't forget the
Civic Association sponsored Flea Market on Saturday and
Sunday, 10 and 11 June, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Mark your calendar.
Maybe you can have a table, sell some of your stuff, look
around and buy something you're really interested in.
Refreshments available, sold by the Civic Association.
Happy Birthday to Jack Walsh who
celebrates this week. Birthday wishes also to David Spinosa
on the 28th; Paige and Kyler Burke will be 3 on the lst of
May; and JoAnn Day celebrates on the 2nd. Hope you all have a
nice day.
I've heard from a number of
people that Mr. Bruin is back. He's been up Dutch Mountain
taking down bird feeders and has been up and down Main Street
taking bird feeders and smashing burning barrels. Someone
also saw a bear with two cubs, so I guess we're in for some
more "devilness" this summer.
Spending last Tuesday and
Wednesday with Mrs. Katherine Matychak was Fr and Mrs. Mark
Korban and sons, Jessie and Micah, Browningtown, VT. They
were on their way to The Orthodox Monastery, Ellwood City, to
visit their daughter, Sister Martha and the Sisterhood. While
there, Fr Korban served at their Easter services. They
returned to VT, from The Monastery, on Wednesday. They
enjoyed their stay, both here in Lopez, and at The Monastery
in Ellwood City.
That's it for now. Enjoy your
week, whatever you do. It may be shoveling or sweeping snow.
At least with the warmer(?) temperatures, it won't last
toooooo long. Have news call me at 928-9238; mail me; see me;
or e-mail me at
uvbob@epix.net. I'll put your news in. I'll be here next
time.
April 18, 2006
Getting some nicer
weather after some cool morning starts. Was only 24 degrees
early Monday morning, with frost on the ground. The wind sure
does twirl around and get very breezy and cool. Hopefully
we'll get something better soon. Hope you all had a nice
Easter holiday.
Spending some time over Easter with Mrs. Sophie Bundle
was Jerry and Sylvia Dempsey, Dover, DE; Patrick Dempsey and
friend, Troy, Alexandria, VA. Sharon Hartnett, Wilmington,

very high; but I'd still rather warm, sunny eather. Have news
call me at 928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at uvbob@epix.net. I'll
put it in for you. I'll be here next time.
April 10.2006
Wasn't a really
bad weekend. The wind was quite powerful, but Sunday turned
out to be a nicer day. It's still cold early in the morning.
On Monday morning it was only 18 degrees. It did warm up
considerable during the day so that was nice. I see in a few
places that the crocuses and daffodils are popping up so
that's a good sign, if the frost doesn't get them.
Joe Anderson, son, Joshua,
friend, Mindy, along with friends Victor and his brother,
Ross, spent the weekend with Katherine Matychak. They were
four college kids with lots of nice chatter, conversation and
fun. They all enjoyed the
quietness.

Dorothy and Roy Pirritano,
Exton, spent a few days at their home on Dutch Mountain and
enjoyed the nice weather.
I see Bill, Jean and Scott
Woodford, Windsor, NY, were down at the family homestead for
the weekend. Now that the weather is getting nicer, we'll
probably see more of them.
Tyler McGuire, Harvey's Lake,
spent Friday and Saturday with his grandparents, Bob and JoAnn
McGuire. His Dad, Bob Jr. picked him up on
Saturday afternoon. The weather wasn't
really nice to spend much time
outside, but he's looking forward to
coming back when we get warm weather so he can go to the pond
and the creek.
Dick Bradshaw, West Chester, is
spending some time at his home on
Church Street.
Julio and Mary Santiago, Kyra,
Keene and Quinn Vinetelli, Jackson, NJ, spent the weekend
with her mother, Kitty Maximiak and all had a nice time while

were provided by Pepper Funeral Home,
Canton.
Sympathy from the
community to the family, relatives and many friends of Frank
Borick who passed away last week. Funeral was held on Tuesday
with burial in St. Vladimir's cemetery. Frank was a frequent
summer visitor to the Borick homestead and we will miss seeing
him sitting on the porch and taking walks.
On Thursday morning, Bill
Killian, Dutch Mountain, saw a bald eagle and a large fish
that it had caught and was eating. He got his video camera to
take some photos, but don't know if he got anything or not.
He had eaten almost all of the fish when Bill spotted him.
Happy Birthday wishes to Kristin

Wasn't a bad weekend.
Now, it seems winter is trying to come we have to expect that
kind of weather knowing where we live and all. Hopefully it
will warm
up soon.
GOOD NEWS.........I guess.
Township Supervisor John McDonald has told me that there will
be street sweeping in Lopez and Colley sometime in early May.
Yes, you can save the bristles on your broom; the Township
will sweep. Also, he has informed me that there will be
dumpsters in Lopez and Colley on the 10th of June. More
information will follow when they know prices, times, etc.
So, that's another good thing. You can
get rid of that unwanted "stuff" you've accumulated all year.
Watch the Sully for more on this.
Julio and Mary Santiago,
Jackson, NJ, surprised her mother, Kitty Maximiak, on Sunday
when they stopped by to spend the day with her. A nice time
for all. Julio and Mary will be celebrating their first
wedding anniversary on the 5th. Congratulations and many
more.
Happy Birthday wishes go to
Shawn Pequignot on the 6th; and Jaron Williams will be 9 on
the 11th. Hope you both have a nice day.
Guess that's all the news for
now. Would be nice to have some warm weather stay around so
folks can get out and enjoy. At least we aren't getting what
some of the states are getting with the tornadoes, heavy rain,
and all kinds of damaging weather. We can be thankful for
that. Have news call me at 928-9238, mail me, see me, or
e-mail me at
uvbob@epix.net. I'll put your news in. Thanks and I'll
be here next time.

Wow!! What a beautiful
sight on Saturday when we woke up early. That snow looked so
pretty on the trees; was quite heavy but with the temperatures
going up pretty good, it was gone in no time. Sunday turned
out to be a nice day.
Got the following e-mail about
some birthdays; many, many. Hope
you all have a great day.
Lots of birthday wishes -- 80 of
them -- to Mary Yarosh Nadiak who celebrates on April 5! And,
just 18 of them to her grandson, Jeff Nadiak, who also
celebrates on April 5. And, while we're at it, Happy Birthday
to Ellen Nadiak, mother of Jeff and daughter-in-law to Mary,
birthday wishes on April 12. And, then, we have birthday
wishes to Jill Gurdak, daughter of Ellen and granddaughter of
Mary, who will be 28 on the 18th!!! Makes it easy to remember
the month of birthdays!!!!!
While we're on birthdays, Trevor
Kinsey celebrates his 7th on the 30th. V Rev Gary Matychak
celebrates on the 5th of April. Have a nice day all.
Don't forget to set your clocks
AHEAD one hour Saturday night before you go to bed. I like
that "Spring Ahead" idea. Makes for a nice, bright day for a
longer time.
Jim and Barbara Craig, Media,
were finally able to enjoy the weekend at their home on Church
Street.
That's it. I'm sure with the
weather starting to get nicer there will be more folks out and
about. Enjoy your week, whatever you may do. Have news call
me at 928-9238, mail me, see me, or e-mail me at
uvbob@epix.net. I'll put your article in. I'll be here
next time.
