Eldred Dispatched To Natural Gas Leak In A House
Margery Jean Howe BELL, 71, Ulysses and Mansfield, PA Native
Margery Jean Howe BELL, 71, died peacefully, surrounded by her family, at McKay-Dee Hospital in South Ogden, Utah on July 20, 2017.
A GRAVESIDE SERVICE WILL BE HELD 11:00 AM, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2017 IN ULYSSES CEMETERY, ULYSSES, PA.
Local arrangements are entrusted to the Olney Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Ulysses, PA. Online condolences may be expressed at www.olneyfuneralhome.com.
Margery was born to Richard and Jean Howe, on June 8, 1946 in Wellsboro, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. She was lovingly raised in the small towns of Ulysses and Mansfield. After graduating from Mansfield High School, Marge received a degree in Nursing from the Bellevue School of Nursing in NYC. She met her lifelong sweetheart when she was just a baby, but did not realize it until after her first year at Bellevue. After many motorcycle rides together, she married Enoch on July 23, 1966. She often said that they decided to get married, just so their parents would let them go camping together.
After marriage, Enoch and Marge, moved to Syracuse, NY into student housing at Syracuse University where Enoch finished his degrees. Marge worked nights in Pediatric Intensive Care. The next several years took them to Blacksburg, VA, Portland, OR, Missoula, MT, and Springfield, VA. Finally, they struck gold in a move to sunny and beautiful Moraga, CA in 1983.
Throughout her life, Marge’s love of Family History work deepened. She served as the director of The Annandale Virginia Genealogy Library, and Deputy Director at the Oakland Family Search Library. She organized, cataloged, and indexed, while also teaching classes, giving seminars, and lighting fires under any leaders she didn’t think were hopping fast enough or high enough. Marge also found time to raise two stunningly amazing children, while keeping her loving husband blissfully happy, and serving in various positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Marge loved her dear friends, loved craft projects (especially starting new ones) and she loved gathering with her sisters each year to quilt, sew, and laugh deeply. Marge loved life, and fought for years to enjoy each possible day of it.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Jean Howe; and is survived by her lifelong friend and husband, Enoch F. Bell, her two children, Jonathan, and Catherine, and her eight, beloved grand-children: Braden, Jordan, Keegan, Paxton, Anne, Daniel, Jeremiah, and Ella. She is also survived by her three dear sisters and cohorts in quilting: Joanne Horne, Carolyn Barrett, and Laurie Corbett.
Services were held in Moraga, CA at the LDS Chapel at 3776 Via Granada on Aug. 12 at 11:00 am.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to the Oakland California FamilySearch Library, c/o Ralph Severson. 4766 Lincoln Avenue, Oakland, CA 94602

Northeast GOP House Delegation Works with Unified Voice to Benefit Region
HARRISBURG – To ensure that Northeast Pennsylvania has a strong and effective voice in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, the 12 members representing parts of 13 counties in this region of the state have banded together as a delegation to fight for the issues that matter most to the area. The delegation is being chaired by Rep. Karen Boback (R-Lackawanna/Luzerne/Wyoming).
“We know that strength does lie in numbers, and that’s why we felt it best to join collective forces and use our delegation as an agent of change that will ultimately benefit our region,” the members of the delegation said.
“We are blessed to live and work in Northeastern Pennsylvania – a diverse cross-section of rural and urban communities rich in natural resources,” said Boback. “Our entrepreneurial spirit and incredibly hard-working and resilient labor force make us special. I am extremely proud to lead this group of legislators as we work to stand up for the great people of Northeastern Pennsylvania.”
Since its founding at the beginning of the 2017-18 legislative session, the group is actively fighting against any new tax increases but is also working toward lessening regulations that suppress jobs and commerce, reform property taxes, enhance educational opportunities, improve health care access and affordability, support responsible development of natural gas opportunities with an emphasis on environmental protection, further enhance agriculture development, and improve technical and vocational education that creates job readiness.
“Northeastern Pennsylvania is a vibrant region whose needs can sometimes be overshadowed by Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, and with a dynamic group of legislators working together, we can make impactful changes that stand to benefit our region,” the group of legislators said.
Members of the delegation include Chairwoman Boback, along with Reps. Matt Baker (R-Tioga/Bradford/Potter), Rosemary M. Brown (R-Monroe/Pike), Garth Everett (R-Lycoming/Union), Jonathan Fritz (R-Susquehanna/Wayne), Aaron Kaufer (R-Luzerne), David Millard (R-Columbia), Michael Peifer (R-Pike/Wayne), Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna), Jack Rader (R-Monroe), Tarah Toohil (R-Luzerne) and Jeff Wheeland (R-Lycoming).
The delegation reflects a variety of seniority, with three of its members being chairmen of House standing committees: Baker chairs Health Committee, Millard chairs the Tourism and Recreational Development Committee; and Pickett chairs the Insurance Committee.

September Galeton Weather Report
September was another beautiful month. There was a little bit of something for everyone. The month started out cool and wet. The first ten days was very cool and wet. 1.20" of rain fell. We enjoyed a 40 degree morning on the first. The remainder of the next ten days it was cool, windy and rainy. Then a big change took place. For the most part the month was sunny, rain free and much like July. We did receive .92" of rain on the 14th in the form of rather brief showers thanks to hurricane Irma. The nights and mornings were cool and the afternoons were very warm with readings most days in the 80's. On the 27th and 28th the temperatures were in the high 80's and low 90's.
Then on the 29th a cold front came in with high winds for a short time and .15" of rain. The temperature dropped and it seemed more like Fall. On the 30th the temperature would struggle to reach 50.
Frost and freeze advisories have been posted for October 1st. We had 26 foggy mornings with several mornings with very heavy, long lasting fog. We had one thunderstorm.
Unfortunately the Fall colors are not very attractive. The hills are mostly tan and brown as opposed to the reds and yellows. Perhaps the oaks will do better in October. Pine Creek is very low.
This September we had 2.27" of rain and last year we recorded 2.95" Average monthly rainfall is 4.13" The average high temperature for the month is 69 degrees and the average low is 47 degrees.

Bill Pekarski: Day 389, Living life on my terms
Bill Pekarski:
Day 389, Living life on my terms.
So for a week or more, we had temps up in the 80's and plenty of sunshine. Then on Friday, just in time for Coudersport's Homecoming football game the weather turns to nasty enough to keep me from going to the game. Some times life just isn't fair.
All in all, I really can't complain. It was a fantastic summer and fall colors are starting to shine. However, I do fear that it will be a short fall and a long winter. A long, cold, and snowy winter with me stuck in my house for the most part. I may have to plan on hosting a few poker games with the boys so I get a little interaction and some occasional visitors.
There is one person who has been anxiously awaiting winter and copious amounts of snowfall; my friend Andy Kulp. He has been posting photos of snow covered roads and cars for weeks now and praying everyday for the temperature to drop down to freezing. Well Andy, I am sure you will be getting your wish.
There are times that I really do enjoy the snow. Like when it is not to cold and it starts to fall kind of heavy. As the snow starts to measure in the inches you can appreciate the silence as the fluffy white blanket covers the landscape; lulling everything into a peaceful winter slumber.
I especially like the days when Beth doesn't have to work and we can stay home all day and watch romantic comedies (my guilty pleasure) and NCIS episodes that are backed up on the DVR. I get to pull a roast out of the freezer the night before and have it slow roasting in the oven with potatoes and carrots. Once the roast is done, I can turn the juices into a hearty beef gravy. I might even bake a pumpkin or apple pie in the morning so we have dessert as well.
Of course we will have plenty of food just incase anybody wants to stop by and the coffee pot is always at the ready. Vicki Gooch had a great post this week about always having her home open, food in the fridge, and hot coffee only minutes away if someone needs to come and sit a spell. I feel exactly the same way. We aren't rich and my house is not a mansion, but I can always offer a comfortable seat, a sympathetic ear, a tasty treat, and a cup of warmth.
Last winter, Beth and I were humbled by all of the cards and well wishes that we received. It was wonderful to be thought of by so many people, both young and old. My favorite was a batch of handmade cards I was sent by the children of a high school classmate of mine. Shannon Johnson Payne and her children took the time to make me very special cards to let me know that I was in their prayers. Those cards sit on my dresser where I can see them every day.
This year should be better as I do anticipate getting out a little more often; that is as long as the weather permits me. I just wish there was an outdoor winter activity for the children of our area like this years very successful Coudersport Rocks campaign. One of my favorite joys this summer was cruising through town watching kids on the hunt for rocks. Seeing children get out of the house and away from the play-stations and computers so they can get some exercise and have some fun was spectacular. I must duff my cap to Heather Page for getting that ball, or rock as it were, rolling.
Today I am dedicating my progress to Andy Kulp, Vicki Gooch, Shannon Johnson Payne (and family), and Heather Page. Andy for his dreams of winter, Vicki for her open heart, and Heather for her love of our community and it's children.

This year should be better as I do anticipate getting out a little more often; that is as long as the weather permits me. I just wish there was an outdoor winter activity for the children of our area like this years very successful Coudersport Rocks campaign. One of my favorite joys this summer was cruising through town watching kids on the hunt for rocks. Seeing children get out of the house and away from the play-stations and computers so they can get some exercise and have some fun was spectacular. I must duff my cap to Heather Page for getting that ball, or rock as it were, rolling.
Today I am dedicating my progress to Andy Kulp, Vicki Gooch, Shannon Johnson Payne (and family), and Heather Page. Andy for his dreams of winter, Vicki for her open heart, and Heather for her love of our community and it's children.

CSVT Update for Upcoming Week
Work is progressing on the Northern Section of the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation (CSVT) project in Northumberland, Union and Snyder counties as follows:
Winfield Interchange:
The contractor will be setting beams for the temporary bridge over existing Route 15 near County Line Road. Work will be done during night time hours of 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
Complete traffic stoppages of 20 minutes will be needed to set the beams across both lanes of Route 15. Work is planned for Monday evening into Tuesday morning, October 2-3, Wednesday evening into Thursday morning, October 4-5, and Friday evening into Saturday morning, October 6-7.
The temporary bridge is needed for construction equipment to haul material over existing Route 15.
The contractor will be paving South Bound lanes next week during daylight hours. Impacts to traffic will be short delays due to trucks delivering material.
Northumberland County:
There are no major impacts for traffic anticipated for the week of October
2-6.
The contractor will be working on structures throughout the project. Earthwork will concentrate on filling the box culvert at Ridge Run and excavation at Acorn Drive.
River Bridge:
Construction of the river bridge piers on the west side of the river continues.
Most notably cap reinforcement was installed on Pier 4 with concrete placement scheduled for October 4.
The project is currently about 45% complete with the bridge itself currently 33% complete.

Wellsboro Community Concert Association Tusk Concert is Oct. 6 and 7
 |
| Tusk, will perform songs by Fleetwood Mac at the Deane Center in Wellsboro on Oct. 6 and 7. Shown are the members of Tusk: (from left to right) Randy Artiglere, Kim Williams, Tom Nelson, Kathy Phillips and Scott McDonald. |
"We are holding our Friday seats for our season ticket holders," said Kevin Connelly, Deane Center executive director and WCCA board vice president. "The Saturday concert is for the general public. This is a great show. In order to meet expected demand, we opted to have two performances over two days, a first for the Deane Center and WCCA.”
Tusk will take audiences on a ride down memory lane, performing the hits of Fleetwood Mac, which has featured the talents of Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and others over the years. Among those chart-toppers are "The Chain," "Dreams," "Go Your Own Way" and "Tusk."
Solo artist Kathy Phillips (vocals) fronts Tusk and is supported by Scott McDonald (guitar, vocals), Kim Williams (keys, vocals), Randy Artiglere (bass) and Tom Nelson (drums). Nelson is local. He is an instrumental music teacher at North Penn-Liberty High School in Liberty, Pa. and an Adjunct Professor of Percussion at Bucknell University in Lewisburg. They leave no stone unturned in replicating the sounds of one of the world's best-loved, top-selling bands.
In 2008, these five seasoned, well-respected musicians formed Tusk. For over 25 years, they have been making music together in various combinations and styles, performing originals and covers. It is only fitting they pay homage to Fleetwood Mac, a group that dominated the charts when Tusk band members were in their formative years.
In addition to Tusk on Oct. 6 and 7, the Wellsboro Community Concert Association is presenting the Sultans of String on Saturday, Nov. 4, the River City Brass Quintet on Saturday, Dec. 16, the Gibson Brothers on Saturday, Feb. 24, 2018, Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley on Saturday, March 24, 2018 and the April Verch Band on Saturday, April 7, 2018.
To reserve tickets for a specific concert or to purchase a season ticket ($70 per adult and $30 per student, 13 and over) for all six WCCA concerts, call 570-724-6220 or visit www.wellsborocca.org. Tickets at the door for Tusk are $25 per adult and $5 per student or child and will be sold on a first come, first served, space available basis.
