a letter from the editorSoon well be putting away the lawn mower, replacing

the screens with storm windows and bringing in the plants.

Cooler days and nights are once again on the way. We ease

into autumn here in Central Pennsylvania. Theres still plenty

of time to enjoy the outdoors, with fall foliage taking our

breath away long before winters chill does.

For instance, consider the 270-acre Glacier Pools Preserve

in Wolf Township, Lycoming County. Shaped by rivers of ice

that once covered the area, these shallow depressions in

the ground collect water every spring. Its home to a lot of

unusual species. Read all about it beginning on page 12.

Another place worth walking around in is the Lewisburg

Cemetery, especially around Halloween, because ... you

know. Its a little mind-boggling how many souls are buried

there and to see the gifts people leave near tombstones

such as wooden baseball bats at the grave of baseball great

Christy Mathewson. Something very special is located

just outside the cemetery gates an ancient oak that is

more than 250 years old. Just imagine how much this rare

witness tree has seen. Turn to page 38 for more.

I would like to take a moment to share something else

Inside Pennsylvania magazine, a product of The Daily Item

newspaper, scored a third-place win in this years Local

Media Associations annual editorial contest, a national

competition among daily newspapers with a circulation of

Good day, Today in a doctors office I was reading the summer 15

issue of Inside Pennsylvania; on page 46 the upper photo was of the largest natural waterfall in Union County (story begins on page 11).

We are flatlanders, moving to Mifflinburg from Lancaster in 2005. We have covered Union County a good bit; my wife Cindy took the pictures for the county for the bicentennial and the Buffalo Debate and she also has a Facebook site, Back Alleys and Back roads of Union County.

This is a new holy grail to look for in this tremendous county.

Take care,Michael McEvoy,

Looking To

Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

LENAPE SOLAR, LLC:


Lenape Solar opened its doors in 2010 and, with

a variety of product lines and a vision for the future, hasnt slowed down since.

These two aspects variety and vision have launched Lenape into a 37% average annual growth rate which keeps us on our toes! What is this masterful combination and how does it feed the Lenape founders passions?

Tonya and co-owner, Justin Charles, are inspired by the impact Lenapes work has made in just a short time in the valley, area and region. By helping organizations

and individuals reduce ongoing expenses,

slash operating costs and connect with funding, Lenape Solar has the pleasure of knowing they put millions 5.2 million to be exact of dollars INTO the Pennsylvania economy. Here is a very simple snapshot of the scope of Lenapes impact:

EnERGY EFFICIEnT LIGHTInG Were reducing the operating costs for municipalities across 7 counties by more than $365,000 annually. Were saving regional Manufacturers more than $500,000 annually. Local fire companies, ambulance services and alike are seeing more than $250,000 in annual savings. Collectively, the savings from our light ing efficiency upgrades have surpassed 1.7 million dollars a year, every year.

Through our lighting division alone, thats 1.7 million dollars back into our local economy every single year simply

by becoming more energy efficient. The savings from energy efficient

lighting benefits our environment, by permanently reducing energy consumption and our community, by significantly lowering the cost of doing business for all the entities we serve.

FUnDInG

R.E.A.P. GRANTS Lenape has written 23 Qualified USDA REAP Grant Applications for lo cal businesses spanning a 7 county re gion. 20 of those grant applications have already been funded, bringing $731,138.60 into our local economy.

REAP (Rural Energy for America) grants are competitive grants. At any given time there may be hundreds of applications competing for the same pool of funds. As such, Lenape is extremely

proud of its track record. On average, 95% + of the applications that we write, are subsequently awarded funding.

In 2014-2015 Funding Year the pro-gram experienced a complete overhaul. Our staff worked closely with the USDA regional staff to fully understand the new program, requirements and scoring criteria. We jumped through a lot of hoops, so to speak, to re-write applications, gather additional information, etc. to comply with the newly designed program. As a result, we are maintaining our exceptionally high award ratio.

ACT 129We have applied for and been awarded more than 2.8 million dollars in ACT 129 Funding for local small businesses, governments, institutions and non-profit organizations.

Both REAP Grant and ACT 129 funds are required distributions in the state of PA. Lenape Solar is working hard to keep as much of that funding in our community as possible.

Securing these funds is really a "team" effort. We are grateful for the continual support of our local political representatives including Lynda Schlegel-Culver, Fred Keller, Joe Kantz and Peggy Chamberlain, to name a few, as well as our local municipal representatives and the USDA staff.

nUCLEAR & FoSSIL FUEL GEn ERATED

EnERGY REDUCTIon We have helped our neighbors reduce

their consumption of nuclear & fossil fuel generated energy by more than 17,000,000 kWh (kilowatt hours)

These efforts have reduced our commu-nities carbon footprint by 17,123 Metric Tons of CO2. Thats the equivalent of:

Saving 92 acres of forest landPlanting 41,564 treesEliminating 59,654 tons of trash in our landfills

There are several methods of reducing the need for electricity generated from nuclear and fossil fuels-first and foremost being reduction of electricity utilization. Modification and or replacement of inefficient lighting fixtures, motors and HVAC units represent significant reduction opportunities.

Renewable energy generation by water, wind or our personal favorite, solar, is another great method of reduction.

Helping both residents and businesses decrease their use of electricity lowers their individual negative impact on our environment. By helping our environment, we help the community. And, by helping the community, we help the environment. Its a win-win situation for community, environment and Lenape a fulfillment of the passion which founded Lenape Solar.

ThE FACTS Available sunlight radiation is measured as

DnI (direct normal irradiance)

World DnI ranges from 400 (minimal availability) to 2400 (significant availability).

PA has a rating of between 1200 and 1500.

The country with the highest utilization of Solar Power is germany. 27% of the power generated in the entire county is Solar. germany has a DnI range of approximately 800 to 1,000 (far less than PA).

PAs production of DnI is ideal to generate a significant amount of solar power.

There has never been a better time to invest in renewable energy.

Pools Shaped by Rivers of Ice

i never get tired of looking at rocks, rickie Gross said as she pointed to a large stone with layers of cracks and moss. This one shows so much history.

On a recent tour of the 270-acre Glacier Pools Preserve in Wolf Township, Lycoming County, she and her husband Michael, who have owned and lived on the land since 1978, led the way through the dense forest on intersecting walking trails they forged with the help of friends

and volunteers. They pointed out the various trees, flowers and wildlife as well as the rock walls along the meadows that once formed the boundary for farm fields dating as far back as the early 1800s.

The property, located near the borough of Picture Rocks and about a 10-minute drive from Hughesville, is filled with approximately 20 large vernal pools, or depressions in the ground that seasonally gather water.

In addition to the pool clusters, the land offers to the public rare, natural amenities, such as uncultivated meadows and picturesque views of the Allegheny

Front.Chad Peeling, the son of Clyde Peeling,

founder of Reptiland in Allenwood, used Michaels research of the property to create informational signs throughout the preserve. One of those signs explains that all of the hilltops, valleys and soil that comprise Glacier Pools was shaped by rivers of ice that once covered the area. The glaciers from which the preserve gets its name had left shallow depressions in the ground that now collect water every spring.

Michael explains that though these pools dry up during other parts of the year and cant support fish, there are specific species that live on land but can only breed in the water of seasonal pools. This makes Glacier Pools a prime location for animals such as wood and pickerel frogs, mole salamanders and fairy shrimp.

Michael and Rickie both grew up in the suburbs of major cities Michael near New York and Rickie near Philadelphia and have always been drawn to the more rural countryside.

Rickies parents would plan weekend hikes in the woods, she said. That was their idea of a family trip.

Michaels scouting experience and the time he was at stay-away camp in the Adirondacks when he was 12 sealed the dream of rural living.

I remember making a vow I didnt want to live someplace where we had a vacation house somewhere else, he said.

Michael and Rickie are both 1964 graduates of Swarthmore College near Philadelphia, where they met and

nourished their mutual love of the outdoors.

After getting married, they moved around a lot, trying to decide what kind of living they wanted. They went from the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago to Manhattan to rural Berne southwest of Albany and Homewood, Baltimore.

They also rented in Picture Rocks for three years.

Finally deciding they wanted the rural life, they searched for a typical 5-acre country house, Michael said.

You put up with the city, Rickie added, and the suburbs theyre nice, but its not what we wanted.

As they searched, they stumbled upon what was known as the old Buck farm in Lycoming County only a four-hour drive from family, making regular visits a possibility.

The place seemed to be a cure for their '60s fantasy, as Michael calls it back to the land, romantic country living.

We walked into this purchase inadvertently, Michael admits, saying

they discovered the title to the property had been tied up in court for six years and everyone else knew to avoid it.

During our rental years (in Picture Rocks), we often heard local people joke about the property, gently warning us not to consider buying it, because of the unclear title.

As their lawyer later discovered, it was because of a controversy between two potential purchasers of the property over who had the prior claim.

We were simply incredibly lucky, Michael said.

The location was also ideal for both Michael and Rickie to continue their education.

Rickie, a teacher, holds a masters degree in education, which she received from Bloomsburg University while living at Glacier Pools. She tutored for awhile in Picture Rocks before securing a job at an alternative school in Williamsport, which she did for a short time before leaving to be a full-time mom.

Michael is a family care physician, who at the time was attending various trainings and residencies and was hoping

to establish a community health center in Picture Rocks.

After five years he said, that didnt work out, but we stayed anyway.

Rickie designed a prefabricated house that arrived on a truck and was constructed at the top of a hill along the road that divides their yard from the rest of the property and they moved there with their two young sons.

Until they really began investigating, they didnt know the gem they had stumbled upon.

Theres such a variety of things, Michael said. We didnt realize how unique it was.

The unusual species found here are not of typical interest to most, he said, but we gradually learned what a treasure they were.

For the first couple of decades of living here and unbeknownst to him at the time, Michaels daily walks with the family dog along the same paths each time helped prepare for the eventual opening of the land to the public.

Bring your garden indoors roasted autumn vegetables are loaded with sun-baked flavor and fiber-rich texture. Squash, parsnips, turnips, celery root, yams, beets their vibrant colors beckon us with the promise of a rich source of vitamins.

Every year when I go down to the market and have all these root vegetables in my hands, people say, What do you do with them? Chef Paul Mach said.

Most people know a tried-and-true recipe for things like squash and beets: Wrap them in foil, bake and mash them and serve with butter and sugar, which is perfectly fine, Chef Paul said. But we can do more.

Give them a little bit of love and attention, he said. Then they can be the star of the show.

They certainly are in his family. Ever since he added roasted autumn vegetables to their holiday dinners, even the 7- and 8-year-old nieces and nephews have asked, Can you make more like that?

Clockwise from top: roast chicken with sauted beets, greens and onions, roasted autumn vegetables, roasted beets and more roasted autumn vegetables; roasted vegetable pasta; and goat cheese and beet salad.

Take advantage of the deep-colored, vitamin-rich autumn veggies for hearty, healthy eating!


Make Autumn Vegetables the

Star of the Show

Do you want to make these delicious dishes in your own kitchen?

Roasted autumn vegetables are nearly foolproof. The most daunting step in preparing them is all the peeling and chopping. Chef Paul has some wisdom to share there.

Do not peel root vegetables with a peeler. Their skins require a sharp knife, like a French knife. Cut the ends off of each vegetable, lay it flat on the cutting board and trim the skins. (See photo.)

As always, Chef Paul likes to squeeze every ounce of flavor from his ingredients, so he recommends simmering the trimmings in stock or soup broth, or tossing them in with roasting meat for some added flavor. But even Chef Paul discards the peelings that do little to boost flavor, like potato, squash and rutabaga (yellow turnips) skins. Most other trimmings, though, add flavor, including: carrots, white turnips, parsnips and celery root skins.

And if youre pressed for time, avoid the trimming step altogether by buying vegetables already pared and cut. Far from being a hated chore, cooking should be a chance to bring your family appetizing, healthy meals.

To coax the flavor from the vegetables, Chef Paul uses oil and herbs. Lots of herbs.

Use the savory herbs in your garden, he said. Think sage. Think rosemary. Think marjoram. The more herbs you add, the more youre going to enhance flavor. If you know your family likes herbs and garlic, thats whats on these vegetables. And its phenomenal.

Not even the herbs and oil are wasted when Chef Paul cooks.The oils got all the sugar from the vegetables and all the herb

flavor, he said, tossing some leftover vegetables with pasta to make a Roasted Vegetable Pasta Salad. All the oils that you cooked the vegetables in melts on the pasta, he explained, testing a forkful and grinning with approval. Mm-hmm. You better believe it!

By layering the beets and cheese, Chef Paul added an eye-catching twist to a traditional goat cheese & beet salad.

But look how pretty they are, Chef Paul exclaimed when he checked on the roasted autumn vegetables.

Chef Paul E. Mach is a certified hospitality educator and assistant professor at Pennsylvania College of Technologys School of hospitality, Williamsport, which features Le Jeune Chef, a teaching-learning, gourmet restaurant. hes also the co-host along with grilled-cheese-loving Tom Speicher of the award-winning TV show, youre the Chef, which ran from 1996 to 2005, originally in Williamsport and eventually reaching as far as Japan.

recipesRoasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad1 bunch beets, peeled and sliced (about 2 cups) cups garlic oil herb blend (make your

own mix or use the recipe below)2 tsp. salt1 tsp. ground black pepper8 oz. fresh goat cheese, chevre style2 cups chopped salad mix2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegarSalt and ground black pepper to taste

Toss the beets with the garlic oil herb blend, salt and pepper. Place them onto a baking sheet tray. roast them in a preheated 400 oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender and nicely browned. They can be served hot like the roasted vegetables above, or cooled for the salad. once the beets are cool, they can be layered with the goat

cheese. Do not remove the wrapper from the cheese; slice through it (to retain the cheeses shape) using a knife dipped in hot water. remove each ring of wrapper around the pieces of cheese and assemble with the beets to create a napoleon (layered) presentation. Toss the salad with the oil, vinegar and seasonings and serve with the beet/cheese pieces, drizzled with any remaining dressing.

Garlic oil Herb Blend1 bulb fresh garlic, peeled (about cup)1 bunch fresh oregano or marjoram,

stems removed (about cup)1 bunch fresh sage, stripped stems removed (about cup)1 bunch fresh parsley, stripped stems removed (about 1 cup)1 bunch fresh chives, chopped (about cup)1 bunch fresh rosemary, stems removed (about cup)2 cups virgin olive oil (approximately)

herbs and garlic should be finely chopped and blended with the oil. This can be done by hand, or by using an immersion blender after combining all the whole ingredients in a large plastic or Mason jar. The herb garlic oil mixture should be very thick for best flavor results. Covered tightly, this can be refrigerated for up to three weeks.

Chef Paul often makes fresh garden herbs last by pureeing them with oil. That makes it tough to measure the amount used when cooking, so season to taste and you cant go wrong. how much herbs do I use? I dont know, Chef Paul says. Does it taste good? Then who cares how much is used?

Butternut squash really lends itself to different preparations. Its the easiest winter squash to peel.

Parsnips are great for roasting or sauting and also in soups. They give a spicy character to a dish.

The formal name of celery root is celeriac. They usually hold a lot of dirt and need to be washed well. Dont be afraid to give them a good bath, Chef Paul says.

Beets are like one of the super foods, Chef Paul says. you not only get the beets, but also all the greens, which are great with the herb oil blend. Then you can serve them up with a smile.

A variety of roasted vegetables make a delicious dish and can be cut any way you like, big or small, flat or cubed. Just be careful to use same-size pieces, Chef Paul says.

A member-driven leader in community and economic development, advancing the prosperity of commerce, culture and citizens in its region.


After 10 to 20 years, he said, it looked like well-used trails.

PUBLIC WELCoMEThirty-four years after moving here,

Michael and Rickie finalized a long-held desire to make the property available for the public to enjoy.

In 2012, they preserved their land from future development through a conservation easement agreement with the Merrill W. Linn Land & Waterways Conservancy of Lewisburg.

Michael said by turning over all rights to the conservancy, they received a tax deduction that covered all the expenses of setting up the easement, such as the survey, appraisal, legal fees, parking area and kiosk.

I wont know the total financial benefit until the five years of using up the charity tax deduction, Michael explained. Ill smile if theres any left over.

But to the Grosses, its perfectly fine if theres not.

It breaks our hearts and those of our children and grandchildren, to think that

someone could divide the parcel into a number of house lots, cut down the large trees and destroy the integrity of the seasonal pool habitat, Michael said.

So, in essence, he said, by handing over the easement, they gave something away that was of no (financial) value to us.

Another agreement with the East Lycoming Recreation Authority opened the land for public access.

It fit with our idea of preserving the land, Rickie said. And what are you preserving it for? The future.

Michael later laid out some other grass and dirt paths with friends and volunteers, who have also helped by donating signs, birdhouses and marking trees.

Currently, there are approximately three miles of intersecting trails throughout the property.

So far, sharing the property has been a rewarding experience for the Grosses.

In nice weather, I see 20 to 30 people here a week, he said, many of whom he stops to talk to at the informational kiosk

at the end of his driveway and next to the public parking area.

I still get a smile when I see a car down there, he said, adding that he often receives suggestions from visitors on how the public experience can be improved.

While some groups also make use of the land, such as the local Audubon chapter for an annual bird walk, Michael is hoping for more.

I want it to be used, he said, so it develops its own constituency ... we want the community to want to own it.

When were gone, someone has to want to manage it, keep the trails open, care about it, he said. Meanwhile, Michael, with the help of professional logger and excavator friends, serves as what he calls the preserves unofficial forest ranger, mowing the trails five times a year, spending a full day clearing them of fallen trees and other debris and removing invasive plant species from the approximate 40 acres of meadows.

Though it is a lot of work, Michael says, Its a joy for me to have this responsibility.

He pays professionals to do some of the work, since he, of course, cant do it all himself.

He also regularly works to recruit groups to utilize the preserve and maintains the website.

Currently, he is tasked with figuring out the best way to keep the meadows open and is working with a local forester to determine whether the revenue of a limited timber harvest to improve the habitat and scenic values of the property, could be kept in a fund and used to preserve the trails and meadows.

My hope is that the support of birdwatchers, flower lovers and the occasional butterfly collector will help in the future, Michael said.

YEARLY InSPECTIonMerrill Linn Conservancy officials

inspect the preserve once every spring, to make sure the terms of the easement agreement are not being violated.

Coordinator Geoff Goodenow said the Conservancy in 2013 adopted a Linking Landscapes Initiative, which focuses on creating corridors of wild habitat that allow for the migration of plant and animal species across our highly fragmented (by human development)

landscape.In determining what properties

to partner in, Goodenow said, the conservancy determines whether it is within their service area and if they have the staff and legal defense capability to enforce the terms of the easement. They also must consider the propertys conservation value and if the owners desire for the land is consistent with the conservancys mission.

Glacier Pools Preserve met all of their requirements.

This site provides a great variety of habitat types supporting diverse communities within them, Goodenow said.

Aside from all of the critters you find living here, he added, The property is also the headwaters area of at least one stream that feeds into Muncy Creek, thereby serving to protect water quality within that watershed.

That water eventually flows to the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.

An official with the conservancy describes the property as being at the northern edge of what is called the Ridge and Valley region of the Appalachians, known for its series of parallel ridges and valleys that form an arc across Pennsylvania from New York and New Jersey to West Virginia and Maryland.

To the north is the Allegheny Front, marking the transition to the higher

elevation Allegheny Plateau region.Michael is down to only one day a week

working at the local Family Practice Center, which means much more time to enjoy his backyard preserve.

On a typical morning, he sits in his chair by the big picture window in the front of their house, sipping coffee and reading the New York Times and watching the birds and other wildlife.

Then, he ventures on a 30- to 45-minute walk.

When she is able, Rickie joins him.It feels so good getting out there, she

said. Theres always something to see.Sometimes, he will listen to his iPod.But his mind is rarely entertaining the

scientific aspect of what he finds.He simply enjoys it.I just like being outside, he said.Even after all the years theyve lived

there, they are still finding new things and are still figuring out their way around, Michael jokes.

Its still strange to walk such a large piece of beautiful land and know that its his, he admits.

Its like being in a state park and then realizing its your state park, he said.

But really, he sees himself as more of a curator than an owner.

His goal, he says, is to take care of it well so that future generations can enjoy it.

if you feel like a ghoulish night out this halloween with a freaky zombie girl, a vampire woman, a bloody torso and other denizens of doom, then your destination is The roushville Yard haunt at 605 Spangler St., new Berlin. Shawn and Kelly roush, along with their son, Logan, have been decorating their yard and home in spirited fashion for the past 18 years and its known as the house to visit during the halloween season.

Dad was the initial freak, Logan said, and he started with a skull sitting atop three hay bales on our porch. The skull had a microphone inside it and dad would stand inside the house and when trick-or-treaters came to the door, he yelled into the microphone get off my porch!

Since that first year, the displays are always kid-friendly with no actors jumping out to scare people. Over the years, the Roush family kept adding different items and last year the display featured a graveyard, props and scenes on the porch, in the garage and on the lawn including a full corn path with strange creatures along the way.

The Haunt display takes hundreds of hours to set up and the process starts several weeks in advance of Halloween. Lighting and other sensor-operated

displays have to be just right so visitors can enjoy a maximum fright night. This years Haunt features some new displays of Halloween night stalkers.

Last year, the family attended the Transworld Halloween & Attractions Show in St. Louis. Its billed as the only industry trade show of its kind in the world where exhibitors gather to network, get new ideas and purchase products.

It was a great experience, Roush said. They had everything from $10,000 props and $3,000 costumes to hundreds of other more affordable items. A lot of corporations send their buyers there to purchase Halloween items.

He said his family got many ideas for coming years because they build several of their own props to negate expenses.

Roush also noted there are two popular Facebook sites called Haunters Hangout and Dead With Dave where they can network with other Halloween enthusiasts and share ideas.

Roush estimated that more than 350 cars checked out their display last year and they easily had more than 150 trick-or-treaters on Halloween night.

The Roushville Yard Haunt is

again partnering with Pennsylvania Cystic Fibrosis Inc. (PACFI) to help a Pennsylvania citizen with cystic fibrosis (CF) who needs a lung transplant. Last year, the Haunt raised $2,244 for Selinsgrove native Amanda Mandy Eisenhauers transplant fund. Eisenhauer has CF and is on the list to receive a double lung transplant at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

The Haunt has a donation container and visitors to the display are invited to donate to help a designated family.

PACFI is an independent, nonprofit, all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization that is helping families with transplant fund expenses that are not paid by insurance.

Celebrating 30 years of helping people with CF

Pennsylvania Cystic Fibrosis, Inc. (PACFI) is celebrating 30 years of providing services and supports to PA individuals and families affected by cystic fibrosis (CF) and funding some of the nations most progressive research. The official celebration takes place at the Central PA Chamber of Commerce on oct. 2, from 4-7 p.m. It marks exactly 30 years because the organizations Articles of Incorporation were signed in harrisburg on oct. 2, 1985.

Were unique among CF organizations, said Logan roush, PACFIs current president who has CF and diabetes, because were volunteers and we provide direct assistance to individuals and families in addition to funding research. roush noted that the organization provides air conditioners; portable nebulizers and other CF-related equipment; medications and transplant expenses not paid by insurance; scholarships and educational information; advocacy services; and miscellaneous emergency expenses.

CF primarily affects the lungs and digestive systems, roush explained, but it can impact other organs. People with CF have thickened secretions that clog the pancreas and lungs causing digestive problems and chronic lung infections. CF is the most common, fatal genetic disease of children and young adults and the current life span is close

to 40 years. There is no cure, but current research is providing hope for more beneficial treatments.

PACFI has funded research on oral glutathione, an anti-oxidant, for many years and the organization was credited with this support in a 2015 research article in the Journal of Pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition. The national CF Foundation is considering further research in this area. PACFI received the Presidents Award in 2010 from the University of Minnesota for many years of funding cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFrD) research. The university has one of the best CF Care Centers in the country and has a collaborative relationship with the world-famous Mayo Clinic. PACFI has also supported CF research at hahnemann University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh,

University of Vermont, University of California at San Francisco, University of Virginia and Michigan State University.

PACFIs Million Dollar Bear campaign and Burkes Tour, named in honor/memory of Mifflinburg teenager Burke P. Derr who died due to CF in 1997, created an international awareness of CF. Derr had a teddy bear, Burke P. Bear, named after him and since 1997 the bear has toured 50 states and 23 countries in helping to raise almost $600,000 for CF research.

Through PA house resolution #198 in 1999, the bear was titled The Pennsylvania Ambassador for Love, Peace, having Fun and Curing Cystic Fibrosis, and in 2008 he was dubbed the globe-Trotting Ambassador of Love by a British publication. Burke P. Bear is available at www.pacfi.org.

on April 18, the 9th Annual Danville Child Development Centers (DCDC) Celebrity Waiter event was held at the Danville Borough Ballroom. The event captured the roaring 20s in high style.

The entire ballroom was turned into a speakeasy. Each table card was tucked inside a black and white fedora. The centerpieces were creative bottles of Jack Daniels with pearls wrapped around them and a peacock feather in the bottles.

Started in 1974, DCDC is devoted to high-quality child care and has two locations as well as an early intervention program. Executive director is Diana Dixon.

This years celebrity waiters were Mark Brinkcash, Annie haas, Janet oesterling, Adrienne Mael, Chintan Patle and Mark gardner.

A Grave Look Back

Dont be surprised to see a baseball bat and a hardball carefully arranged on the base of the tombstone of Christy Mathewson.

After all, Mathewson, who is buried in the Lewisburg Cemetery, was one of the greatest baseball players of all time.

When warm weather arrives, the people who operate the 38-acre cemetery invariably place a ball and a bat at his monument. We try to find wooden bats, says Nancy Neuman, president of the cemetery association.

A pitcher, Mathewson played primarily for the New York Giants during a career that began in 1899. In 17 seasons, Mathewson finished with 373 wins against just 188 losses a figure that leaves him tied with Grover Cleveland Alexander for the most wins in (National League) history and third-most all-time, the Baseball Hall of Fame reports on its website, baseballhall.org.

Its no accident that Mathewsons grave is

directly across from Bucknell University. He studied there in the late 1890s and spent at least one of his summer vacations playing pro ball.

A short walk from Mathewsons grave takes one to the tombstone of Harry E. McCormick, better known to baseball historians as Moose McCormick. A contemporary of Christys, McCormick attended Bucknell, but left to play professional baseball with Jersey City in 1903. He then joined the New York Giants in 1904, Bucknell says on its sports website, bucknellbison.com.

Moose McCormick went to the Giants and became one of the greatest pinch hitters in the history of the game, sportswriter Manning Vaughan said in a 1927 article in the Milwaukee Journal.

After his playing days ended, Moose came back to Bucknell and was a coach, so he stayed in athletics, Neuman says.

Along with Matty and Moose, Bucknell was a baseball factory in the early 1900s with 14 players in the majors, reports author Bob Gaines in his 2015 book, Christy Mathewson: The Christian Gentleman. How One Mans Faith and

Fastball Forever Changed Baseball.Of the 14, Mathewson, McClure and

two others Walter Heavy Blair and Harold Hal McClure are interred in Lewisburg Cemetery.

Blair became a catcher for the New York Highlanders, a team that eventually became much better known as the New York Yankees. Considered an outstanding defensive catcher, Blair was a member of the class of 1907 and played professional baseball for over a decade, according to the Bucknell sports website.

McClure began to play professional baseball after he graduated from Bucknell in 1879, according to his obituary, which was reprinted in a 1919 book, Snyder County Annals. The obituary reported that McClure played with the Athletics of Philadelphia, (and) the Binghamton, Syracuse, Rochester and Boston clubs. He was at that time regarded as one of the best catchers and most accurate throwers in the country, always remaining cool and deliberate in the most exciting games, the obituary said.

Neuman says McClure earned enough money playing baseball to pay his way to

law school. After law school, he practiced in

Sunbury, then in 1891 won election as judge for Union and Snyder counties.

Of the four, Mathewson was the biggest star. One of the first inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y., in 1936, he set a modern era record for wins by an NL (National League) pitcher with 37 in 1908, a year when he completed 34 of his 44 starts en route to more than 390 innings pitched, according to the halls website. In the postseason, Mathewson pitched three shutouts in three starts in the 1905 World Series.

During his years at Bucknell, Mathewson was also a standout player in collegiate football and gained his initial athletic fame as a fullback, punter and drop-kicker at Bucknell from 1898-1900, the university notes.

Mathewson died tragically. According to the Hall of Fame: In 1918, Mathewson enlisted in the Army during World War I. While serving as a captain in France, he



was accidentally gassed during a training exercise. He spent the next seven years battling tuberculosis and died on Oct. 7, 1925.

Christy Mathewsons grave regularly attracts history-minded devotees of the American pastime to the 167-year-old cemetery.

As president of the cemetery association, Neuman often walks through the graveyard. She says that sometimes she will see a car driving slowly through the cemetery, obviously looking for a specific grave. Shell stop the driver and ask, Are you looking for Christy? How did you know? the driver will ask.

Visitors come from near and far. People leave coins and little mementos, Neuman says. Two years ago, I met a man who came down from Canada to see Christys

grave.Betty Cook, a Lewisburg native, never

knew Christy Mathewson, who died before she was born. She did, however,

Surveyor William Maclay used this oak as a boundary marker when in 1769 he surveyed the land on which Lewisburg was eventually settled. One of a number of so-called witness trees, the tree is the only one that survives. It stands along Lewisburgs South Seventh Street, on the eastern side of the Lewisburg Cemetery.

know his widow, Jane, whom Mathewson met while he attended Bucknell.

In 1950, long after his death, Jane returned to Lewisburg and lived just two doors from us, Cook says. She became like a grandmother to me.

As the years passed, Jane Mathewson regularly took Cook to Cooperstown, N.Y., to attend the annual induction ceremonies at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Cook consequently met many of baseballs storied players and their families.

Decades later, Cooks connection with professional baseball remains strong.

In 2011, we rededicated the (Christy) Mathewson Gateway at Bucknell University, she says. Out-of-town visitors who came to Lewisburg for the occasion included grandchildren of Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson and Honus Wagner, all players who were inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Mathewson in 36.

Following the ceremony, they went up to Mathewsons grave. We had these antique cars and we drove all of them to the cemetery, Cook says. Babe Ruths granddaughter, Linda Ruth Tosetti, rode in a yellow sporty convertible like Babe would have driven in 1932.

In 2012, eight elderly women who had once played ball for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League came to Lewisburg. They included Sarah Jane Sands Ferguson, an outfielder and catcher for the Rockford Peaches. During their visit, of course, Cook took them to visit Mathewsons grave.

Hidden in a pristine hollow of Montour County lives the remnants of little creatures known as Hodaggers. Thought to have come from the jungles of Africa centuries ago, they escaped from slave ships that landed along the East Coast. Eventually, they made their way to the forests of northern Pennsylvania. Their populations thrived in the lush valleys with virgin hemlocks, but they particularly enjoyed long sweeping grapevines which dangled from majestic white oaks and elms.

The Susquehannocks delighted in their sightings and adopted them as their mascot to scare off the White Man who also lived in the Chillisquaque Valley. Hodaggers acted as watch dogs and when they sensed danger, their shrill low whimpers alerted the Indians to invaders.

However when logging invaded their territories, their habitat slowly disappeared and their populations dwindled. Mysteriously, a few Hodaggers escaped and took up residence on our family farm. Unscientific evidence has shown that they only exist in valleys which run north and south with a spattering of hemlocks to the east. Grape vines are essential and in Hodagger Hollow, they hang by the hundreds from elms which have succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease.

On the forest floor grows a myriad of wild plants dominated with jewelweed and lady ferns. Hodaggers escape summers heat by hiding in the ferns. They relish the minute turquoise jewelweed seeds in early fall. In this perfect environment is a little trickle of water from an underground spring. Hodaggers wont survive near water that reaches a depth of more than six inches. They cant swim.

Upon observation, we assume Hodaggers hibernate. We have never seen their minute footprints in winters snow, but when we hear the penetrating high-pitched calls of spring peepers along Chillisquaque Creek, we know instinctively Hodaggers are again roaming about.

We have observed unusual tracks in the mud and are convinced they are made by Hodaggers. What else could it be? No field guides show a six-toed foot complete with a large toe in the center. Common sense tells us that the middle toe is used to climb grapevines.

Come October, When the harvest moon illuminates the hollow, they frolic about gorging themselves on grapes, jewelweed seeds and elderberries. Halloween night presents the best viewing if one is courageous enough to venture through Hodagger Hollow. Grape vines sway, silhouettes of elms loom into view casting ghostly shadows on the forest floor. Branches crack, hemlocks whir; and the bravest of onlookers tremble with fear. There truly is an eerie sense of their presence and no one has yet been able to prove or disprove their existence.
