private table or invite your coworkers and friends for a peaceful gathering. You will never
feel like you're being pushed out
the door at Remington's.

goods store. Croasdale's is owned and

great selection of clothing for both hunting and casual wear. Need lined pants for

your conversations and take delight in the company of your
friends, without feeling rushed.

daily, along with their irresistible menu including ½ pound
burgers and signature dishes like

of many regulars-the Chicken
Chesapeake is prepared with

of steak, veal, and seafood are
always featured on the menu at

About the Owners: Mother and Daughter, Margaret Staskiel and Jennifer Staskiel Vieczorek are both
advocates of recycling. Holding a firm belief that many items still have long lives to them even though
others may not want them anymore, mom and daughter will search out pieces to include in their store.
Jennifer will also spend many hours refinishing furniture to give it new life. She has also been known to
create a brand new piece of décor out of an older item. The store includes two floors of merchandise with
many of the new items being handcrafted including gorgeous pieces of jewelry. Focusing on made
"local" as well, Jennifer L's now features a line of cards handcrafted by an area girl. Offering quite a
variety from inside what appears to be a small house, Margaret and her daughter also attend gift shows
in New York City several times a year. During their trips, they find the latest in style for your home as
well as clothing accessories. "We study everything to find what tastes and styles our customer would
love", according to Margaret, "And we do our best to bring them back to you."
The array offered to you at Jennifer L's includes distinctive gifts at reasonable prices. They do their best
to make sure you can find nice gifts for under $10. It's even possible for you to find some as low as $4.
Margaret and Jennifer also wanted to be sure we mentioned Mindy and Max, 2 cats that call their store
home. They are the greeters and they just love people. And they are as friendly as can be. One of the
nicest things about Mindy and Max is that they'll happily entertain your children while you browse the
store in peace.

Semi-Public Executions in Tunkhannock once considered entertainment
It is hard to believe, but true,
that executions were once considered entertainment, even here
in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Recently at the Dietrich
Theater, Dr. Sheldon Spear presented his research on SemiPublic Executions: Tunkhannock and Wilkes-Barre from
1893-1909.
Dr. Sheldon Spear, who
taught at Luzerne County Community College for 34 years, is
no stranger to the Dietrich Theater. Every year since 2002, he
has enlightened his Dietrich audience with fascinating research
about local history, including
colorful characters. He is also an
accomplished author, publishing
his latest book in 2009, Daniel J.
Flood: A Biography: The Congressional Career of an Economic Savior and Cold War
Nationalist.
This time Dr. Spear’s research was focused on the more
grisly subject of executions. The
last semi-public execution in
Tunkhannock was in 1893. As
recorded on the Wyoming
County Historical Society website, “Invitations were issued to
witness the execution. A large
number of people gathered in
Tunkhannock to witness the
hanging. All the trains entering
the town in the early part of the
day were crowded, and the
streets were filled with men who
wished to see the double execution. The bars were filled, and
stores held special sales.” Dr.
Spear embellished the details of
this and other executions in
Tunkhannock.
The legal and
social environment that surrounded them was be his topic.
Mark Mitchell relates that
"One of our most popular exhibits at the Wyoming County
Historical Society is the one
dealing with the murder of a
Jewish peddler on Dutch Mountain in Forkston Township at the
close of the 19th century. Items
from the murder, its subsequent
trial, and the execution hold a
macabre fascination for those
looking at it. Also, for some odd
reason children are drawn to this
particular exhibit.
The Society was fortunate
to have recently acquired several
additional items relating to this
murder / trial / execution, which
had been stored in the basement
of a house in Tunkhannock for
over 100 years. These have now
been incorporated into our permanent exhibit."
"Wishing you Comfort,
Joy and Peaceful
Gift Giving!"

“Whoo, Hoo!” Gay’s is open for business
“Whoo, Hoo!” You could hear the
excitement in the voices of Wyoming
County locals as Gay's True Value reopened their doors. That excitement
comes as no surprise, after all area residents have come to depend on Gay's for
hardware and home-ware, that's just not
available anywhere else.
Days after the flooding, one local
person was looking for colored electrical
tape. Where else would you find that but
Gay's True Value! And no they couldn't
find it anywhere else.
With the holiday season fast approaching, folks couldn't stand to be without the
charm of shopping in this historic store.
Yes, because Gay's has an excellent selection of gift items from candles and home
décor to toys and even beer making supplies. But also, Gay's always has a nice
selection of Christmas lights and the replacement bulbs along with all the nails,
nuts, bolts, and hanger thingy-ma-bobs
you need to get those holiday lights up
and shining! For those who become acrobatics trying to hang that Christmas shine,
Gay's offers ladders and chains, and rope
and tape and, and, and ... you get the idea.
Needless to say, folks round these parts
are thrilled that they are back and running
for the season.
Here are just a few highlights of what
we've come to expect from our friends at
Gay's True Value, Route 29, Tunkhannock: Heat tapes and Heaters, Duct tape
and bird calls, hunting and fishing supplies, sporting goods and stuff for cooking
our foods, crock pots and food processors,
wine making supplies and games using
dice, Connect 4 or puzzles. Snow throwers
and shovels, ice-melt and ice-chests, bicycles and scooters. Electrical supplies and
stove pipe, alarm clocks and Carharts,
dolls and doll houses. Keys made and dog
chains, sleds and skates, tackles and baits,
guns and ammo. Chainsaws and places to
wipe our paws, brooms and vacuum bags,
humidifiers and air compressors, glassware and home repair. Christmas décor
and so much, much more.
Ohh and just one more thing, we
always look forward to the arrival of Santa
and Mrs. Claus at Gay's True Value in the
first few weeks of December. Year after
year, Gay's has provided free pictures with
the jolly ole' couple and thankfully they
will again this year.

Tips to ease the stress of the holiday season
As the excitement of the
holiday season approaches, we all
tend to feel a little overwhelmed.
This stress can be physically and
mentally exhausting. The end result is usually a lot of muscle tension, poor attention, restless sleep,
low energy, occasional headaches, and perhaps even depression.
While a shortage of time is
usually part of our stressful lives,
it is very important to put some
time and effort into managing
stress in a healthy way. This effort is often rewarded with more
energy and a better overall attitude.
Some exercise like walking,
yoga, Pilates or a stretching routine done at least 20 minutes, for
4 or 5 days a week can have great
stress relieving effects. Increased
circulation throughout the body
helps eliminate toxins such as
lactic acid that builds up in tight
muscles.
The simple act of
stretching a muscle provides some
relief from built up tension and
helps the body relax. During exercise the body releases endorphins in your system that both
boost mood and make the body
feel good. Exerting energy during
the day also improves the body’s
ability to fall asleep and stay
asleep through the night.
There are also several mental
exercises that help calm the
stressed mind. These methods,
like exercise, also require a regular commitment of time. Meditation, when done regularly, has a
soothing effect on both the mind
and body. Taking time out of
your day to focus on things that
make you happy is very important. Perhaps taking on a new
hobby, learning to play an instrument, or writing feel good letters
to friends and family. A calm
mind will help you take control of
your reaction to stress.
Regular chiropractic care is
also very important when dealing
with life’s stresses. Chiropractic
care helps reduce or eliminate the
chronic tension on muscles associated with stress. In addition,
your chiropractor can eliminate
pressure in your nervous system
by aligning the spine allowing the
nerves to flow uninhibited. So,
how can a healthy and balanced
spine help you deal with stress?
Creating a proper communication
between the brain and the body,
allows one’s nervous system to
proper control the “fight or flight”
response associated with stressful
situations. When your body can
turn this response off, because the
stress we face is not a man-eating
lion, tension in both the body and
the mind is reduced. A properly
functioning nervous system is key
to managing stress.
For more information on easing
the stress this holiday season call

serve you. Factoryville 945-3373
or in Honesdale 253-0776.

Lynn and Paul Reynolds
Following a meeting with PennDOT, Rep. Karen Boback
(R-Columbia/Luzerne/Wyoming) and Sen. Lisa Baker (R-Luzerne/
Monroe/Pike/Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming) announced that the
damaged roadway and bridge on State Route 3001 in Forkston will
be open by Thanksgiving.
“People are ready for their lives to get back to normal, and
restoring the roadway and bridge will greatly help their cause,” said
Boback. “I am grateful PennDOT met with us and heard our
concerns. I know the road crews will be working very hard to have
the roads open by Thanksgiving, and I will continue to monitor the
progress of this project.”
“With each torrential downpour, our legislative delegation has
brought specific unmet needs to the attention of federal and state
officials,” said Baker. “PennDOT has acted upon our requests for
help, recognizing how important these roadways are to our economy and our quality of life. I will keep working with PennDOT to
ensure that road replacement projects stay on track, access to gamelands remains a priority, and traffic will be flowing safely and
smoothly before hunting season and the holidays.”
The meeting centered on rumors that the township could be
crippled by the damaged transportation infrastructure into the next
year. Boback and Baker organized the meeting to urge PennDOT
to take quick action. It was attended by Boback; Baker; Frank
Miner, Forkston Township supervisor; Harold Hill, P.E., Assistant
District Executive for Construction, PennDOT; and Gene Dziak,
director of the Wyoming County Emergency Management Agency.
The road and bridge are scheduled to reopen to traffic on
Wednesday, November 23. Additional smoothing and paving will
be completed in the spring.
More information about Boback
and her legislative priorities is available at RepBoback.com. Information about Baker is posted at SenatorBaker.com.
