New Book Release ‘’Brown Hollow Adventures’’ By’ David Orlowski
In the early 1800’s a mountain man by the name of Angus Henry moved into Brown Hollow near Keating Summit, Pa. A truly rugged young man who was bound and determined to make a life for himself in the wilderness he had known since birth. Who had searched out a place where few others would venture, not that he didn’t like them, but because he preferred living in solitude. Which was easy to do here as the region was still very isolated from civilization. Where a man could trek across the mountains and never see another soul for weeks on end. Which was the perfect place for Angus to survive and prosper in the far reaches of the wilderness. In a place whose only inhabitants were bear, deer, wolves and on rare occasion a moose or big cat
The book is available for $12.00 which includes S/H. Mail to; David Orlowski, 24 State St; Austin, Pa. 16720
Mount Jewett's Christmas
STAM RESEARCHES AND WRITES CHRISTMAS ON MAIN STREET ORNAMENT HISTORY GUIDES ABOUT THE TOWN THAT SAVED CHRISTMAS
 |
Photo by John Eaton Anja Stam holds a copy of last year's The Town That Saved Christmas ornament history guide that she wrote about the varied shapes and sizes of the ornaments on display, from simple spheres in traditional colors to “fancies”. |
Anja Stam, who owns Pop's Culture Shoppe with her husband Julian, has been researching and writing The Town That Saved Christmas ornament history guides for the past two years.
"Jennie Borneman Lusk of Wild Asaph Outfitters wrote the guide in 2017 and 2018. When I took it over in 2019, she gave me a large binder of information and resources she had collected," Stam said.
"Last year, I spent quite a bit of time at the Rakow Research Library of the Corning Museum of Glass, researching the historical development
of the different shapes and styles of Christmas ornaments, and how Wellsboro contributed to their development." She titled the 2019 guide, "The Town that Saved Christmas: Shaping Our Traditions.”
In 2020, Stam did research on the ribbon machine. "The Town that Saved Christmas: Manufacturing Miracles” is the title she gave to this year’s ornament history guide. Its focus is on how the Wellsboro plant became involved in the ornament making business and the development of the ribbon machine by Billy Woods, which revolutionized the manufacturing of Christmas ornaments. The guide also includes information about each of the 26 displays.
Grant “Skip” Cavanaugh has been an enthusiastic supporter of Stam's work over the past two years and shared his knowledge of operations at the Wellsboro plant, as well as his collections of ornaments for the displays. Cavanaugh worked at the Corning Glass factory in Wellsboro beginning in 1965 and retired from the same plant, then owned by Osram-Sylvania, in 2002.
This summer, Stam contacted Ryan Root, former ribbon machine mechanic at the Wellsboro plant, and interviewed him. "Ryan helped me understand the entire manufacturing process and how the ribbon machine fit in. He even showed me how it worked. Ryan is also enthusiastic about preserving Wellsboro's glass production history, and has loaned us some of his personal pieces for the displays on this year's tour," Stam said.
"This summer thanks to a Facebook post by Ryan, Skip's efforts and the support of the Growth Resources of Wellsboro Foundation, two ribbon machines were saved from being scrapped and were brought to Wellsboro. The entire rescue of these machines was tenuous and things fell into place at the last possible second every step of the way," said Stam.
"I think it’s very important to recognize how revolutionary the invention of the ribbon machine really was. With very few modifications, from it’s invention in 1926 through the early 2000s, the ribbon machine was the way light bulbs, ornaments and other blown glass objects were created around the world. In fact, ribbon machines were built here in Wellsboro and shipped to several other countries. They were so efficient that it only took 15 ribbon machines to produce all the light bulbs needed to supply the entire world," Stam said.
"More important is the story of the people," said Stam. "Whenever I talk to those who worked at the Wellsboro plant, or read their stories, I admire their work ethic. No matter what their job was, they knew it was important and took pride in doing it. They all felt they were part of a family," she said.
"When they brought the two ribbon machines home to Wellsboro this June, I could tell it was an emotional event for Ryan and Skip. It’s important to record this piece of history for future generations. Even I got emotional when I learned that the ribbon machines had been rescued, and I have only lived in the Wellsboro area for 16 years," said Stam. "It is important to learn about local history. We can always learn from those who have gone before us, and it helps to understand the dynamics that shaped our area and our culture."
Those who want to purchase either the 2020 or 2019 ornament history guide can visit the Pop's Culture Shoppe website (popscultureshoppe.com) and choose from different shipping or pick up options or call the store at 570-723-4263. The guides are $5 each.
The Christmas On Main Street committee asks that those who worked at the Wellsboro glass plant email their information, photos and stories to WellsboroGlass@gmail.com. "Hopefully we’ll have even more stories to share in next year’s Christmas on Main Street historic guide," Stam said.
"We are also planning to build a permanent home for the ribbon machines," she added. Tax deductible donations can be mailed to the Wellsboro Foundation (reference “Ribbon Machine” in the check memo line), 114 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA 16901.

Capitol Update by Rep. Martin Causer

People are fed up. They’re fed up with Gov. Tom Wolf telling them what to do, forcing them to close or significantly limit their businesses and now even telling them how many people may gather in their homes. The reaction to the latest orders issued by the governor on Thursday has been overwhelmingly negative, and it’s understandable. In case you missed it, the details of the governor’s order – which affects everything from in-person dining and alcohol sales, as well as retail and services businesses, to indoor and outdoor gatherings and events, youth sports and more – are available here. Rather than heavy-handed orders that will put people out of business and back on the unemployment line, our focus should remain on education and personal responsibility. No – wearing masks, maintaining social distance and simply washing our hands and cleaning high-touch services will not guarantee we don’t get sick…but it improves our chances of staying healthy. The reality is, COVID-19 cases are rising steadily across the Commonwealth – including rural areas like ours – and many of our hospitals have few if any ICU beds remaining to care for additional COVID-19 patients or those suffering with other types of medical emergencies. The spread of the virus is also leading to staffing shortages at some hospitals and health care facilities. These situations are a threat to the health and wellbeing of all Pennsylvanians. And one can only imagine the level of stress our health care providers are dealing with. They are heroes and deserve our deepest thanks and appreciation. We can and should take steps to help slow the spread of the virus for the sake of our health care workers, the medically vulnerable people in our communities, and our own family and friends. That doesn’t have to mean holing up in your home, driving people out of business and living our lives in fear. Masking, social distancing, good hygiene and common sense (such as, if you’re feeling sick, don’t go to work or other places where you could infect other people) are the best remedies for combatting this virus until a vaccine is available. |

Just a reminder the state Department of Agriculture and Pennsylvania Game Commission are inviting hunters to consider sharing their deer harvest to provide thousands of pounds of venison to people in need. Hunters Sharing the Harvest (HSH) is Pennsylvania’s venison donation program for hunters who share their extra venison via a statewide network of participating butchers to food pantries and community assistance centers across the Commonwealth. HSH has distributed 1.5 million pounds of donated venison since 1991. Last year brought record donations for the organization, resulting in more than 160,000 pounds of venison distributed to provide 822,000 meals to Pennsylvanians in need. On average, a single deer donated can provide up to 200 meals. Hunters can donate all or part of a harvested deer by taking it to a participating processor, which will then distribute the ground venison to food banks and pantries. For more information, including a list of participating processors in the area, visit www.ShareDeer.org. |
