a letter from the editor
0VU
Central Pennsylvanians were forced inside for so long this
winter, we bolted out as soon as the onion snow — or the most
memorable last blast of winter we can recall — melted. A storm of
fat, heavy snowflakes lobbed down on the region on March 31. No
joke, despite the next day being a relatively warm April Fool’s Day.
The white stuff disappeared and we finally came out to play.
It was probably around then that golfers showed up at the
Bucknell Golf Club. They were no doubt the most anxious of us
hankering to get out. If you aren’t familiar with it, the golf course is a
swath of green in the Lewisburg sprawl. But not everyone uses the
fairways to hit balls. It’s a nice shortcut to walk over to the university
for those in the Smoketown Road environs and the road circling it
is a favorite jogging/biking course. And when it snows, its infamous
Deadman’s Hill draws sledders from near and far.
But it’s a good guess that only those who play the game know
about the Church Pew bunker near the third fairway. It’s the only
one of its kind in this area. Learn more about this special sand trap
on page 38.

Though the frigid winter of 2015 has been thawed by plenty of
sunshine, some people just can’t let go of sliding on ice. It’s one of
the wackiest fun times to be had each summer during the annual
goat race in the sleepy farm town of Evendale. Called ice blocking,
this activity begins with water frozen in dish tubs, then kids put a
towel on top of an ice slab and ride it down a grassy hill.
Wait a minute ... did I say goat race? I did. And it’s probably even
more fun than ice blocking. The whole scoop on this festival can
be found on page 20. Mark your calendar. Don’t miss it.

Hi,
Hi,
i am an avid reader of inside Pennsylvania magazine because it keeps
me in touch with places that hold dear memories. My dad was a pastor
and we moved to Sunbury in 1970 where a few years later i graduated
from Shikellamy High School.
after four years away for schooling, i returned full time back to Sunbury
and met a young college graduate. We dated five short weeks and then
we parted ways up at the Shikellamy Lookout. Within one year, i met
someone else, married and my life continued.
Many memories followed between Sunbury and Selinsgrove, busily
working, raising a family, being a caregiver for wonderful but aging
parents.
Life doesn’t always turn out like our romantic dreams and separation
and divorce found its way into my life.
Fourteen years after being on my own, that young man i had only dated
for five weeks reappeared into my life. no longer young and with a few
scars of his own, he entered my world once again.
We found ourselves walking the Shikellamy Lookout mountain and
regained a love we lost 34 years prior.
We are now married and i have moved to north Carolina to share in
his life there. What a change, after so many years of Susquehanna Valley
living and friendships. thanks to inside Pennsylvania magazine, i get to
keep in touch with my past.
there are so many things i enjoy about the magazine. it is well written
and the pictures are beautiful. Kudos to Cindy Herman and Sprecken Sie!
they think i talk funny down here, but actually it took me some time to
understand their twaaaang!
— Ruth Kann Cantaluppi, Butner, N.C.
i just wanted to respond to your article by Cindy O. Herman titled
“Scranton, Pa or Brooklyn, nY?” (Winter 2014). My family is from
Scranton and i was born and raised there. no one that i ever met there
speaks the way Cindy O. Herman writes about. i lived, worked and
shopped there for decades, meeting thousands of Scrantonians along
the way, and no one i met spoke with an accent like that. i’m sure there
are parts of Scranton where that accent is common, but your article
didn’t specify that; it painted all of us with the same brush.
Thank you,
Nancy A. Wood (from e-mail)
Hello,
thank you so much for the MaCC Zumba gold article in inside
Pennsylvania (Spring 2015). We appreciate the support and promotion

thank you.
Becky Arnold, MACC Program Director, Beaver Springs, PA
Dear Inside PA,
i always enjoy your articles no matter what the subject may be. My
grandmother taught me this verse many years ago — before i went to
school — i lived with her in elmira, n.Y. for four years. My dad was in the
navy, in Casablanca. Back then, families of servicemen didn’t get much
money so my mother worked at Sylvania. But every day i learned a lot of
good things — one of them being this poem. enjoy!
there is so much bad in the best of us
and so much good in the worst of us
it never behooves any of us
to talk about the rest of us!
— Mary Beaver, Sunbury, PA
Hello,
i haven’t received the last copy of inside Pennsylvania but two friends
have sent me the page from the magazine that had my photos on it
(“Snapshots,” Spring 2015, page 60). i just want to thank you so much
for including my photos in the magazine. i always love my trips to
Pennsylvania and seeing them can really perk me up out here. i guess it
just feels like i am an honorary Pennsylvania resident — even though i
did live there for awhile. anyway, seeing those photos really brightens up
my day!

Taking An Individualized
Customer Approach
There is no upfront cost for this service.
This allows the customers to create
their custom home. Mr. Wise explained
that building a custom home has been
linked, unfortunately, with the idea
that custom costs more, but the truth is
that custom can be accomplished with
everyday pricing, and that is what Active
Construction does. “Our goal is that our
customers should not have to modify
someone else’s idea, but they should be
able to create their own with everyday
pricing. This begs the question: ‘How
much a square foot?’ We do not know the
exact answer when we start the process,
but the customer’s budget and their
design will give us that answer.”
The next step in the process, after the
interviewing consultation, is that Active

A Very Cool Pool
Fed by the largest natural waterfall in the county
A
series of natural
waterfalls and a
swimming hole on private
property in a remote Forest
Hill area may be one of the
best-kept secrets in Union
County.
But for long-time locals, these natural
features are well-known and bubbling
over with some really great memories of
simpler times and bonding with friends
and family.
Historian and Union County native Bob
Lynch estimates that in this convergence
of waters from Stony Run into Rapid Run,
a series of gradual falls drops a distance of
approximately 30 feet in about 50 yards.
It quiet. There’s
no one really
bothering you.
REAL STONE VENEER FOR NATURAL STONE PROJECTS
It is reportedly the largest natural
waterfall in the county.
Rapid Run’s headwaters begin at
Raymond B. Winter State Park, Lynch
said.
At a location near Walbash Road, the
water leaves Rapid Run and flows into
Stony Run, which runs down the falls, at
the end of which it rejoins the Rapid Run
stream.
The falls are a rare find in this region of
Pennsylvania.
“I’m not familiar with many waterfalls
here, and I’m a native,” said Shawn
McLaughlin, planning director for Union
County. “There could be some small ones
scattered about, but our streams and
topography typically don’t equate to those

types of features.”
He only knows of another small natural
waterfall on the property of the Union
County Sportsman Club outside of
Mifflinburg, also the location of the sonamed Pardee swimming hole.
Swimming holes were very popular
in the earlier part of the 1900s, when
public swimming pools were few and far
between, Lynch said.
“Anybody who lived in the country and
was close to a stream would have swum in
one of these swimming holes,” he said. “I
did along with everybody else.”
The swimming hole near these falls in
the Forest Hill area was known as Jake’s
swimming hole after Jake Erb, who owned
the property on which it sits. It was quite
popular, at least up until the mid-1950s,
when Lynch left the area to attend college.
“It was always a place where you could
get cooled off and swim,” Lynch said.
Prior to about the 1960s, he said, no
one ever asked permission to enter onto
someone else’s property to swim or to
hunt.
It may be a different era now, but
swimming holes — at least this one — are
still pretty well utilized and enjoyed.
About 25 years ago, Barbara Franck’s
great uncle, Myron Kozicky, bought the
48-acre farm from Jake Erb, and that
began a new set of family traditions
around these age-old natural features.
Barbara, at that time living in New York,
would travel to the farm to help at her
grandmother’s greenhouses and to camp
by the swimming hole, where her brother
sometimes visited, too, to join her for a
day of swimming.
When her father came along, she said,
they would bring along the pop-up tent
and “Dad and I would set it up as close to
the waterfall as possible.”
He and Barbara’s daughter, Dawn, would
spend hours fishing there together.
Not until Dawn wrote a scholarship
essay about those times did Barbara
realize how precious that bonding time
was.
“They were having deep, heart-to-heartconversations,” she said. “They just talked
about life.”
After Barbara’s great-uncle passed away
in 1996, her parents purchased the farm.
“My father said to always buy land, it’s
a good investment,” she said, and added
with a smile, “and they’re not making it
anymore.”
He passed away in 2003.
Erosion has changed the banks of the
stream and the flow of the waterfall over
the years, Barbara said, so when she
moved down the road in 2001, it looked
different from when she had first visited
15 years before.
A few years ago, they restored a rock
dam so the water would continue to
gather in the swimming hole before
heading back out to the stream.
It remains a beautiful, serene destination
spot for her and her family, who like
to gather there for picnics or quick
barbecues.
“It’s just peaceful,” Barbara said. “It’s
relaxing. I just like to listen to it trickle.”
Barbara and her husband Joshua run
an adjacent farm, where they raise beef,
rabbits, swine and goats.
The family shares a love for the
outdoors.
Their daughter, Shawna, 17, who was
runner-up at the 2014 Union County
Queen Pageant at the West End Fair, runs

Franck Family Feeds, a livestock feed

part of their barn.
A self-proclaimed farm girl, she said she
and her sister often head to the swimming
hole after doing barn chores, riding on
their four-wheelers across the stream to
get there.
Their younger brother, Garrett, and
other family members will join them, too.
“It’s fun,” Shawna said. “It gives me
something to do.”
Every year, relatives come from New
York and the whole family pitch tents
near the swimming hole and waterfall,
and they spend the day swimming,
hunting and fishing together.
Though the Francks have a swimming
pool at their house, there’s something
special about the swimming hole, Shawna
said. “It’s quiet. There’s no one really
bothering you.”

Stepping Back
In Time …
For the past 12 years, Union County Historical Society has organized and hosted
Rural Heritage Day at the Dale/Engle/Walker farm, near Lewisburg.
Event organizers invite people from the area who have an interest in a craft or skill
that was once part of everyday life. These skilled historians volunteer to participate,
bringing the tools and materials needed to demonstrate their craft for the day. This
year’s event takes place July 11.
The presenters offer a unique opportunity for visitors to step back in time and see old
methods of doing tasks we take for granted today. Visitors can listen to the chugging
of a wood-fired steam engine, watch wool being spun on a wheel and feel the weight
and sturdiness of a hand-forged ladle.
Visitors of all ages are free to stroll the grounds and explore demonstrations that
interest them.
This year the old limestone house, built in 1793 by Samuel Dale, will be open with
exhibits and more demonstrators inside. Inside will be the summer exhibit “Logging
in Union County” and another exhibit featuring artifacts from the county’s smaller
communities such as Cowan, Vicksburg and Alvira/Spring Garden.
There will also be a display of original Pennsylvania long rifles which were made
Visitors are welcome to shake cream
in a jar to make butter, just as Rebecca
Anderson, of Watsontown, demonstrates.
Her display includes homemade molded
butter and samples for tasting.

of Ed Smeltz, who will be there to discuss the guns, the details
that distinguish them from other Pennsylvania rifles and the
gunsmiths who made them.
Jim Fulmer, from the National Muzzleloading Rifle
Association, will also be on hand to demonstrate a wooden
rifling machine. (Rifling is the spiral grooves cut in the bore
of the barrel for improved accuracy.) This method is similar to
that used by Widow Smith at her mill and factory in White Deer
during the Revolutionary War.*
Anyone who has wondered what it is like to fire a
muzzleloader rifle will have the opportunity. The Union
County Muzzleloaders, will host a silhouette shoot for visitors.
Interested participants will be guided in loading the rifle, proper

stance while taking aim and what to expect when the trigger
is pulled. With any luck, shooters will be rewarded with a
confirming “Clank!” and toppling of the steel target.
Other demonstrations will include Calib Stroik hand hewing
roofing shakes and William Hill making split oak baskets. Both
will begin with a length of log and go through all the steps
required to complete their product, using hand tools from the
18th century to shape the wood.
There will be also be farm animals, pony cart rides, tug-o-war
and a sack race. Learn about beekeeping and making butter;
taste the samples. Help grind corn with a Hit-and-Miss engine.
Children can safely experience the principals of blacksmithing
by forming clay with a wooden hammer on a wooden anvil.
They can wash clothes with a washing stick, using old-time soap
and elbow grease.
There will be antique farm machinery on the grounds, some
featured in the Wagon Shed, some working away as part of
demonstrations. A restored wood-fired steam engine will be on
display; it was once a source of power for many farm jobs. Oats
will be bindered with a still functional old machine and stacked
in the field to finish drying. Many farm hand tools and smaller
implements will be available for viewing in the reconstructed
Wagon Shed.
Food available for purchase includes hot dogs, hamburgers
and barbecued chicken dinners all day long; Meadow Tea; and
slices of watermelon.
Old-time musical entertainment will be provided by Dale’s
Ridge Ramblers. More photos on page 44.

* Peter and Catherine Smith settled about 300 acres of land at
the mouth of White Deer Creek, land they said they were given
permission to settle by the Indians. They had 10 children. Peter
died in 1773. Catherine and her sons borrowed money in 1774
to build a saw mill and a grist mill on the creek, which were
completed in 1775. The next year they added a barrel boring
mill which helped supply Continental soldiers with arms during
the Revolutionary War.

“You want to break the directions apart into little steps that
you’re comfortable with,” said Chef Paul Mach, standing in
his kitchen classroom at Pennsylvania College of Technology
while 14 student chefs at seven stations followed the recipes he’d
prepared for a three-course, Arabian meal.
“But there’s a little mystery to it,” Chef Paul continued with a
smile. “There are a lot of directions in a recipe, and then there’s
interpretation of the data.”
The fourth-year students — slicing scallions, juicing oranges,
whisking eggs and measuring herbs — seemed to have no
problem with interpreting the data. They have learned well from
their instructor.
“One thing you learn,” said Darren Layre as he and his partner,
Brianna Bucklin, prepared pita dough and harissa hot chili
pepper paste at station three, “a recipe is just like a guide. There’s
no real, 100 percent way to do it each time.”
Then too, there’s always good old, firsthand experience.
“If it’s a dip, you can kind of eye it out for the consistency,”
said Alex Campolongo, as he and partner Arthur Carroll made
Arabian Bites
A look inside the culinary classroom
with Chef Paul Mach
Baba Ghanooj (eggplant dip), Tabbouleh (a salad of soaked
burghul grain, chopped parsley, and vegetables), and lentil dip
with cumin and coriander at station six. “I know what each
ingredient should taste like. If one is dominant, I should taste
that first.”
The students concentrated on each step in their respective
recipes, throwing quick glances at the clock as they raced to
finish the meal on time.
“Who’s got the cilantro?” a student called, and another held
up the labelled plastic bag. Throughout the class students
confirmed their progress with Chef Paul, calling him over to
check the taste, smell, texture or sight of various preparations.
“You can definitely smell when you think it’s seasoned
enough,” said Bradley Moriarty, making saudi boorak with meat
filling at station four with Jenna Haas.
At station two, Rachel Mertz chiffonade — yes, chiffonade —
kale by rolling the green leaves then cutting them into long, thin
ribbons for lentil Swiss chard soup (kale was substituted when
no chard could be found in the store). Mertz’s partner, Sam
Bagel, added onion ends and kale stems to a vegetable stock
simmering on one of the industrial-sized gas stoves.
“The recipe called for plain water,” Bagel said, “but Chef Paul
said we should make a vegetable stock because it will add more
flavor.”
At station one, Scott Neff and Brianna Helmick patiently
minced garlic and fine-diced cucumbers for falafel and tzatziki,
while Victoria Zablocky and Patrick Kelly baked a scrumptious
orange cake and whipped up a bowl of hummus.
All preparations stopped when Chef Paul called, “Demo!
Demo!” Students gathered around while Elizabeth Ball and Kyle
Abel demonstrated the skill they’d just learned: rolling pickled
grape leaves with sweet herbs and olive oil.
With many hands tending to many recipe directions, the meal
came together and was ready to be served … just a few minutes
ahead of deadline. Tables were set, water carafes were filled,
Arabian music lilted on the air, and the entire crew sat down
for a rare meal together. (They typically cook for Penn College’s
restaurant, Le Jeune Chef.)
Soup to cake, and every dish in between, were sampled and
evaluated by each student while Chef Paul went over some
Arabian customs and phrases.
“Daime,” a guest might say: “May you serve food forever.”
An apt sentiment for both the man who’s served countless
meals to people fortunate enough to eat them, and for a roomful
of aspiring chefs learning to continue his legacy of hospitality.
Victoria Zablocky basks in the sweet fragrance of Orange Cake as
Patrick Kelly drizzles a glaze on it.
Students enjoy the meal they’ve created … while carefully tasting every
dish and jotting down notes on taste, texture and fragrance.

What’s All The
Excitement In Evendale?
Story and photos by Cindy O. Herman
P
eople driving through
Evendale in Central
Pennsylvania might peg it as
a scenic, sleepy, farm town.
Until they hear about Family
Fun Night. And Movie Night.
And the goat races.
This town is rockin’.
And yes, you can race goats. No, they
don’t go very fast. Sometimes they don’t
go at all. That just adds to the fun.
“The goats are very important to us,”
announcer Tony Kline told runners at
the Fourth Annual Evendale Goat Race
last August. “You do not drag them. You
do not hurt them. It’s up to the goat to do
whatever it wants to do.”
And whether a goat refuses to move,
gets tangled in the leash and trips its
owner, or makes a spectacular run for the
finish line, the race provides hilarious,
what-will-happen-next entertainment.
The costumes alone bring a chuckle.
Sisters Mary Stailey and Bonnie Strawser
decked out Stailey’s goat, Millie, in “her
summer attire”— a chic skirt, scarf and
tank top. Stailey handled the leash while
Strawser took on costume design.
“I wanted to do makeup,” Strawser
laughed. She’d seen goats at the Falmouth
races in Lancaster County, wearing
lipstick, eyelashes, and nail polish, which
she’s hoping to try on Millie some year.
“We can get a little more blingy with her.”
Carolyn Kratzer, of Kreamer, donned an
elf costume to match her goat’s (Nancy’s)
reindeer costume, while Kratzer’s
daughter, Kelsey Kratzer, wore a ladybug
costume that matched her goat, Haley.
Chuck Kantz, of Cocolamus, bravely
dressed as Little Bo Peep, complete with a
bonnet and a big white shepherd’s hook,
while Bone Saw, his incongruously named
“sheep,” sported a cotton-ball-covered
costume.
“A lot of people were laughing,” Kantz
said with a good-natured laugh of his
own.
The race started, as all serious sporting
events do, with the playing of the national
anthem. Then, to the tune of “CottonEyed Joe” (and the occasional bleat of
a goat), runners paraded their goats

past the hundreds of spectators lining
the grassy banks around two sides of
Evendale Community Park, giving the
audience a chance to vote on Ugliest and
Best-Dressed goats.
“This is great,” said Joe May, who
recently moved from Philadelphia to
nearby McAlisterville. “We saw this
(advertised) and we knew we couldn’t
miss it.”
“We’ve been waiting for a month,” said
his wife, Christine May, adding with a
chuckle, “And we’ll be back (this year).”
Races started with an official shake of a
cowbell, two goats at a time through the
straight, rope-lined race track. Some goats
ran like thoroughbreds. Some meandered.
Some back-tracked. And some had to be
carried to the finish line, but all held the
crowds’ amused attention.
“It’s pretty cool,” said Bria Leister, of
Richfield. “A lot more entertaining than I
thought it would be.”
“A lot of people came out for it,”
marveled her cousin, Jonathan
Mazurkevich, of Mount Carmel. “I like it.”
During intermission fans enjoyed crazy
clowns on golf carts shooting T-shirts
into the crowd, watermelon seed spitting
contests and ice blocking.
“We do a lot of crazies,” said Twila
Graybill, a goat races committee member.
“We have a lot of fun.”

of a slab, have a seat and slide down the
grassy bank. Kids love the slippery ride
— when they can hang on long enough to
slide all the way down. Just more of that
crazy, Evendale fun.
“A lot of places don’t have this anymore,”
said Carole Davis, watching the kids
filling paper bags during the candy toss
on the baseball field. Davis grew up
in Richfield and now lives in Florida.
“It brings you back to a more relaxed
atmosphere. It makes you appreciate what
you had as a child.”
Evendale … ‘It’s just home’
Mark Your Calendar!
Surrounded by corn and grain fields, Evendale knows how to have fun. Along with
the annual goat races, it also hosts the Evendale Festival in June.
Upcoming Events:
“It’s more of an old, church-type festival,” said lifelong resident Luann Stroup.
“No rides. Just a tractor pull and tractor parade and golf cart parade and
entertainment. The money generated keeps the park updated.”
Keeping the park updated is important because residents gather there regularly.
The land for the baseball field was given to the community by brothers Delbert
and Clarence Hoffman. Every last Friday of the month the community meets at the
park’s picnic pavilion for Family Fun Night, which started when gas prices went so
high a few years ago.
“Everybody just brings games and a dish and a dessert to share,” Stroup said. The
community provides hamburgers and hot dogs, and the whole town plays board
games. During winter months they meet at the Richfield Senior Citizens Center. In
July they host Movies in the Park; in August, a shuffleboard tournament.
“It’s just a neat place to grow up,” Stroup said. “I didn’t like being in Evendale when I
was a teen because everybody knew everybody’s business. Now I like it. It’s a place
that, if a person’s going through hard times, the community really comes together
for them.”
Goat races, game nights, movies, shuffleboard, and the annual picnic —i t keeps
Evendale citizens busy while forming strong bonds.
“I always say, ‘I’m not leaving Evendale,’” Twila Graybill said. “It’s just home. It’s just
a community that I love to live in.”

Fiddling Around With Violins
S
By Josh Brokow
usquehanna Valley
fiddle players need not
travel to the big city to find
an instrument worthy of
playing in the concert hall
or recording studio.
There’s a luthier right here in the Valley,
and his name is William Muller.
Muller has lived with his wife Rianna
in Lewisburg for the past decade,
where he has a small shop and she
gives violin lessons in their home on
West Market Street. The Muller home
is full of carvings, sculptures, paintings
and drawings created over a lifetime of
making art and playing music.
Step through their front door, and
sculptures based on scenes from great
operas greet you on shelves and side
tables. Here is one in Vermont marble
that Muller says is “of the dying Carmen,
and the other is the dead Carmen.” There
is a bronze depicting Wagner’s “The
Flying Dutchman,” and a series from the
German’s “Ring” cycle made from solid
blocks of wood carved down to spears no
thicker than a toothpick.
A posse of chainsaw carvings watch
your knees go by as you walk into the
next room, Muller’s little shop. He takes
from a case the most curious of the 14
violins he’s made since taking up the craft
in 1994. It’s a fiddle any cowpoke could
feel comfortable playing after a campfire
dinner of pork and beans — a cowboy
boot with six-shooter soundholes and a
horse in place of the traditional scroll at
the head.
“Ever since third grade I was carving,
making little ships and anything a kid
with any imagination would run away
with,” Muller says. “I did a small carving
of a violin for my wife, and I knew a
violin maker. After I made that little tiny
violin for her to wear as a pendant, I went
to Lou Grand, and said ‘Hey, Lou, how
about teaching me to make violins?’”
The Boot Fiddle came about when
Muller decided to create an entry for a
“celebration of American excellence” in
violin making, sponsored by the string
company d’Addario in 1998. Muller
heard that other makers, like event
host Christophe Landon, of New York,
planned on making instruments “that
were odd, that had some peculiar aspect
to them.”
“My original intent was to make a violin
in the shape of Italy,” Muller says. “I had
the whole bottom section figured out at

at auction, owning a Strad or Guarneri
is more a symbol of status and success
than any great belief in the superiority
of the instrument. The stigma of playing
a new violin has decreased somewhat in
recent years, Muller says, thanks in part
to blindfolded tests where professional
players and listeners have compared new
fiddles to the old brand-name standards.
One of Muller’s violins was played on an
album called “The Legacy of Cremona” by
his father-in-law, Ruggiero Ricci, a great
concert violinist known for his playing
of Paganini over a 70-year, 6,000-plus
concert career. The album featured Ricci
playing pieces on 18 different modern
violins in a row so listeners could hear the
difference; an earlier album called “The
Glory of Cremona” featured the same
concept with classic fiddles.
“If you become a professional, or you
finish college, usually the fiddle you
buy then is going to be your fiddle for
life,” Muller says. “If financially you
really make it, and you want a violin of

top.”
Unlike the Boot Fiddle, Muller’s other
violins cannot stand up on a table by
themselves and are modeled after designs
of the great 18th-century Italian luthiers
Stradivarius and Guarneri.
“It is a visual issue. It’s just simply the
shape of the instrument,” Muller says of
the difference between the two makers’
designs. The C-bouts — the inward curve
in the middle of the body — are a bit
fatter in the Guarneri. “Strad was more of
a perfectionist than Guarneri. You’ll find
more, not mistakes, but a cruder build in
Guarneri than Strads,” Muller says.
The finer examples of work by the
famous old masters have fetched prices at
auction upward of $15 million in recent
years. Skyrocketing prices have fostered
a strange economy where professional
players are often dependent on the
billionaires and foundations that buy the
instruments to loan them out for use in
concert or studio.
Like most things that sell for millions

necessarily to a better violin, but to one with a better pedigree.
Show someone ‘This is my Guarneri del Gesù, they say ‘Oh
well, wow.’’ Rather than ‘This is my Muller. ‘Oh, what’s that?’
They both sound the same.”
The Mullers moved to Lewisburg after 20 years in Croton-onHudson, N.Y. Muller played 15 years in the Paragon Ragtime
Orchestra, which plays often in the region since director
Rick Benjamin resides in Lewisburg. The couple found the
area congenial, and there was also the thought all the local
universities would prove good for selling violins, but “they all
want to go to New York and Philadelphia to buy instruments,”
Muller says.
The sculptures, too, have not achieved commercial success,
despite being displayed at the Metropolitan Opera shops in New
York City.
Such are the uncertainties of the artistic marketplace, and the
musician’s nomadic life is no more sure.
Since meeting while teaching on Long Island in the ‘60s,
William and Rianna have lived in Texas for her teaching gig, in
Nebraska and Germany while he played with Air Force bands,
and the couple played duets at the home of Donald Trump in
New York. Now, they live, work and play in Lewisburg.
William Muller, picutred below, of Lewisburg made this boot-shaped
violin, shown in the photo at right, several years ago for a show in New
York.

Storyteller’s Secret:
‘Know More Than You Say’
A
Since visiting the mill, Powell says that she now pronounces
the phrase “come closer” in a way that imitates the sound of the
grinding stones.
Old stories often have details that modern listeners might not
understand because the tales involved obsolete technology such
as water-powered gristmills. Unless the storyteller knows these
details, it’s nearly impossible to explain them to an audience.
“I constantly research,” says Powell, who reports that she

anthracite coal miner. Powell acknowledges that Polly’s
character is fictional, and explains that Polly consists of a
composite of fragments of true facts taken from the lives of
many different Welsh women who emigrated to Pennsylvania
during the 1800s.
The daughter and sister of iron workers, Polly was about
16 when she sailed to America. “Her brother Sion Morris
came to Danville in about 1851, and sent for her in about
1853,” Powell says. “He changed his name to John in
America.”
While working at a church stand at the
Bloomsburg Fair, which started in 1855, Polly met
a coal miner named Jenkins, whom she eventually
married. When Jenkins died in a mining accident,
she became a widow with five children — two

daughters and three sons.
“I’ve played Polly for more than 20 years, so I’ve gradually aged
with her,” Powell says.
In the course of researching Polly’s character, Powell learned
that a woman named Polly Jenkins had actually once lived on
Danville’s Railroad Street.
“Nobody knows anything about her,” Powell says.
Much more is known about another of Powell’s characters,
Florrie Ware, a real woman who lived in the south of England in
the early 1900s and whose husband was also a man named John.
“He was a carpenter and they wanted to emigrate to
Connecticut,” Powell says. To raise money for their passage
across the Atlantic Ocean on a ship, “they sold everything they
owned.”
The year was 1912, “she was in her mid-30s” and they sailed
as second-class passengers on the RMS Titanic. John was one of
the 1,500 passengers and crew members who died after the ship
struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Florrie became one of
the 700 survivors, although at first “she didn’t want to get into
the lifeboat,” Powell says.
When Powell was considering developing a character who was
a Titanic survivor, she learned that following the wreck, Florrie
Ware returned to England, and “ended her days in Devon,” also
in the south. Powell knows the details about Florrie Ware’s life
because “she had told her story to the newspaper in Bristol.”
As Powell researched Florrie’s story, “I was able to go and look
at the house where they had lived in Bristol.”
One difficulty confronting any living history interpreter is
managing to look the part of the character. Appropriate clothing
from the period that the character represents helps a great deal.
But the age of the storyteller in relation to the character has a
great importance as well. This is certainly the case with Powell
and Polly Jenkins.
“I generally think I can get away with playing her about 15
years younger than I am,” says Powell, who is in her late 50s.
However, “in about 10 years, I’m going to have to pull her into
the 1880s. For now, I’m getting away with it!”
Storyteller Fiona Siobhan Powell recently visited this three-story
gristmill in Wales. Built in 1852, the water-powered facility, known as
Melin Bompren Corn Mill, is a working museum that is part of the St.
Fagans National History Museum near Cardiff. (Photo provided by St.

The Church Pew bunker is about 50
yards long and 15 yards wide (by the way,
the term bunker is the more formal name
for a sand trap). The bunker incorporates
seven roughly parallel strips of raised turf

playing from the bunker has a shot of
between 100 to 150 yards to hit the green,
most likely out of a very difficult sandy
lie. And if the ball is between the Church
Pews, it may be impossible to advance
the ball toward the green. The golfer may
have no choice but to hit the ball sideways
out to the fairway.
Bucknell’s Church Pew bunker was
the idea of golf course architect Mark
Fine of Allentown, who included it as a
feature of the renovation plan he prepared
at the club’s request in 2005. Fine did
exhaustive research on the history
of Bucknell Golf Club in making his

expanded to 18 holes in 1963. Dutch
Loeffler was the long-time superintendent
of Oakmont Country Club near
Pittsburgh. Oakmont is one of the most
famous golf courses in the world. It
has been host to numerous men’s and
women’s U.S. Open Championships and
other significant tournaments. The 2016
Men’s U.S. Open will be played June 13-19
at Oakmont.
Oakmont is famous for its Church Pew
bunkers. It has two: one between the third
and fourth holes — which is the original
Church Pew Bunker — and one on the
15th hole. Loeffler created Oakmont’s
Church Pews by combining rows of
closely situated bunkers into a single
larger bunker.
Bucknell Golf Club made other
improvements to the par-5 third hole
in connection with the new bunker,
including the construction of three new
tees and widening the fairway to the
left of the Church Pews. The golfer will
now have a choice of either playing an
aggressive second shot to the left of the
Church Pews in order to shorten the
approach shot to the green, or playing a
safe shot short of the Church Pews and
settling for a longer approach shot.
Bucknell’s Church Pew bunker was
installed by Henderson & Company of
Pittsburgh.
Three individuals with life-long
connections to the Bucknell Golf Club are
primarily responsible for making Mark
Fine’s conceptual plan for the Church
Pews a reality on the golf course: George
Benson, Randy Hoffman and Chick
Wagner.
George Benson is a native of Lewisburg
and a longtime, now nonresident,
member of the club and the former
president of the College of Charleston
in South Carolina. He is a distinguished
alumnus of Lewisburg Area High School
and a Bucknell University graduate. He
played varsity golf at both institutions and
won the 2003 Senior Club Championship
at Bucknell Golf Club. He lives in Athens,
Ga. and Charleston, S.C.
Randy Hoffman is also a native
of Lewisburg, played varsity golf at
Lewisburg Area High School and is a

¾ cup Spanish onion, minced
½ cup leeks, white and green, cleaned and chopped
2 Tbsp. virgin olive oil
½ lb. ground beef or lamb
½ tsp. cumin, ground
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 hardboiled eggs, whites only, chopped
1 package phyllo dough
1 ½ cup virgin olive oil

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, sweat
the onion and leek in the oil until they are soft.
Add the meat, sprinkle with the cumin, salt and
pepper, and cook until done, breaking up lumps.
Cool and add the egg whites. Mix well.
To assemble the boorak, brush a layer of phyllo lightly with oil, and lay
each oiled sheet on top of the last to make 4 layers.
Place a rounded portion of the filling mixture at the bottom of each strip. Fold the pastry on an angle over
the meat, diagonally, to start a triangle shape. Continue to fold the pastry packet up the strip of oiled phyllo,
forming a triangle with even sides that will seal the filling inside. Brush the finished triangle package with oil.
Brush the tops of the triangle pastries lightly with olive oil and bake on an ungreased
sheet for about 15 minutes at 400°, until crisp and golden brown.

“Tell her the feeders are clear full,” she said. “But the sunflower
seeds are all.”
If that makes sense to you, you understand our homespun,
“Dutchified” way of talking in Central Pennsylvania.
The feeders are clear full. The mud-splattered car is clear dirt.
And visibility on our trip yesterday was terrible because it was
made in clear fog.
I suppose you could substitute a word like entirely for clear,
but you’d lose all of its quaintness, wouldn’t you?
As for the sunflower seeds being all, well, that means we need
to make a trip to the store to buy more. We’ll pick strawberries
until they’re all. The pear blossoms won’t stop falling until
they’re all. And, now that Lent is all, I’ve got a craving for
chocolate, so I sure hope the candy jar isn’t all.
Does that clear up the Pennsylvania Dutch use of all and clear?
Another little speech pattern you might notice in Central
Pennsylvania is calling a “day” a “dee,” as in Mondee, Tuesdee,
Wednesdee. You might think Sunday and sundae rhyme, but
a Pennsylvania Dutchman might eat ice cream with chocolate
syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry, and call it a sundae … even
if he eats it on a Sundee.
Don’t eat your sundae if it wants a hot, sunny day because the
sundae will be pert-near melted before you can finish it! And
yes, I slipped in two Pennsylvania Dutch phrases in there: it
wants and pert-near.
When talking about the weather, some people might say, “It
might rain” or “It’s going to rain.” We here in Pennsylvania say,
“It wants rain.” Well, just look at those heavy, foreboding, gray
clouds — it’s easy to see they want rain.
And while you might think a thunderstorm sounds like it’s
pretty near, a true Dutchman would say it’s pert-near, and the
Pennsylvanians around him would understand just what he
meant.
Then you might want to run for shelter before the storm
breaks and the rain falls. Because we all know, that rain won’t
stop until it’s all.

The Monument
By Kenneth e. Mcintosh
dora Row Hoover’s high school english composition about the
area where she lived had to be turned in to the teacher before the
easter holidays.
the composition could be about a person, historical event,
building or even an animal. dora’s mother suggested she write
about their church, the Salem Lutheran and Reformed Church that
stood on the hill beyond their rural village.
“You know, it was organized about 1775,” euphemia smiled at her
daughter. “it was the first church in the area. and george Row,
one of our early ancestors, donated the land. You’ve seen his
monument behind the church.”
“Yes, yes, i know.” dora didn’t like her mother’s idea. “it’s dull, not
interesting. What would i write about the church anyway?”
“Savilla has a copy of the church’s history.”
“Savilla?”
“Your Sunday school teacher. You could ask to see it. i’m sure
she’d lend it to you. i’ve read it. Fascinating account. the first log
church was torn down and another was built across the road,
where the new red brick church stands. it was rebuilt twice. i
believe in the early 1800s, then again in 1842.”
after Sunday’s devotions, to please her mother, dora asked Savilla
gemberling to borrow the historical account of their church.
Savilla was eager to lend dora Pastor Weiser’s essay.
“Mind,” Savilla stressed to the young girl, “take good care of it. it’s
the only copy i have. there are very few left. and did you know our
little village of Salem is named after the holy city of Jerusalem?”
dora wasn’t impressed. She hated being in the boondocks
because most of her school friends lived several miles away in
Selinsgrove. When she obtained her driver’s license, she hoped her
father would allow her to take the car into town some evenings.
But that was a year away.
battalion? george Row needed the soldier’s pay to support his
family.”
the following Sunday after services, dora trudged through the
snow into the graveyard behind the church and stared at george
Row’s 6-foot monument dated 1890. the three-tiered rectangle
obelisk, dedicated by Row’s descendants to mark his grave more
than 100 years after his death, had several distinct embellishments.
at the summit, a triangular-shaped cement arrowhead pointed
to the heavens. the sculptured oblong blocks of tree leaves
coupled with round and bell-shaped flowers were clearly visible
near the top. in the border above the square foundation, a casting
of trifoliate leaves skirted the polished brown granite base. the
monument was inscribed: george Row born 1723 — killed by
indians 1780.
dora immediately decided her ancestor’s monument would be
the subject of the english composition. But she was puzzled by
the german epitaph engraved on the pedestal. it was necessary
to know the phrase’s translation for her composition. Of course!
grandpa Sephares would be able to tell her.
after writing the german words on her church program, dora
excitedly went to grandpa’s nearby home. Cousin Oletha ushered
her into the living room where Sephares was reading the Sunday
daily item newspaper. She told him her dilemma and he nodded
and stared at her scribbling.
He read aloud: der tod gewiss; ungewiss der tag, die Stunde auch
niemand wissen mag. drum fuerchte.
“But grandpa,” dora stared at the man. “What does it mean?”
“ach, my dear, ‘tis a warning to those who sin.”
“What does it say?”
“it says: ‘death cometh, uncertain the day. Hour neither no one
knowth of. therefore fear!’”
dora knew she would get an “a” on her composition.
Kenneth E. McIntosh lives in Selinsgrove.
at home browsing through the treatise, a passage about her
ancestor george Row caught her eye.
“Legend says in July 1780, george Row was hauling grain in
his wagon to a Buffalo Valley grist mill near today’s town of
Mifflinburg. He was attacked and shot by indians and succumbed
to the chest wound eight hours later. in retrospect, it is doubtful
george was taking a load of corn or wheat to a mill in Buffalo
Valley — that was at least a two-day journey over rutted trails and
steep terrain. at the time, two mills were closer. Both were along
Penns Creek near present-day Selinsgrove. the app Mill had been
constructed north of Selinsgrove and gabriel’s Mill was situated at
the mouth of Penns Creek.”
as dora thumbed through the pages, she came upon a 1967
account of george Row written by Ruth Row Clutcher, another
descendant of george.
dora read more about her ancestor. “there is a probing question.
Why did george Row, in his late 50s, remain in Peter Hosterman’s

“Born in germany, george Row sailed from Rotterdam on the

son george Jr. arriving in Philadelphia, he took the english oath of
allegiance in 1754. after purchasing 50 acres in northumberland

He enlisted in a battalion of the northumberland County Militia

Emil
Feryo, Sr.
Emil
Feryo, Jr.
NuEar Digital Hearing Aid Systems
Behind the Digital Hearing-aid System sign hanging outside at
Sunbury Plaza is a father and son team with a combined total of 86
years of experience serving the hearing-impaired.
Emil Feryo Sr. said he and his son, Emil Jr., have been doing
business as Digital Hearing-aid Systems for about 10 years or so.
They dispense American-made hearing-aid products manufactured
by NuEar, which is based in San Diego. In addition to the aids,
they also dispense batteries, and other hearing accessories, like
amplified telephones and clocks to wake up hearing-impaired
people. Other services include repairs to all brands of hearing-aids
and making earplugs.
A U.S. Navy veteran and a Penn State graduate, Emil Feryo Sr.
is a second-generation hearing-aid dispenser, with over 56 years
of experience. Because of his father, a coal miner who was deaf in
one ear and severely impaired in the other, Emil was sympathetic
and compassionate to the hearing-impaired from an early age.
He started dispensing hearing-aids in 1955, while employed in his
uncle’s practice.
His son, business owner Emil Feryo Jr., is a 1981 graduate of
Bloomsburg University and was a first lieutenant in the Marine
Corps. In 1985, upon completion of his active-duty military service
and inspired by his father’s commitment to help the hearingimpaired, Emil Feryo Jr. pursued his career in the hearing health
care field. He has been nationally board certified in hearing
instrument sciences for 22 years.
During his years in the field, Emil Feryo Sr. has witnessed the
development of products from the ear horn to the first body-worn
hearing-aids, from the invention of the microchip to today’s 100
percent invisible modern digital hearing-aids using nanoscience
technology, as featured in NuEar’s Imagine product line.
Emil Feryo Sr. explained that old-fashioned hearing-aids were
analog amplifiers. “In other words, we’d amplify one sound, and
we’d amplify them all.” That meant a wearer might have to turn
down their hearing aids because some sounds were being made
too loud.
Modern digital hearing-aids have as many as sixteen channels
that can be programmed for a wearer’s specific needs. Modern
hearing-aids also include filters for background noise. So, the
more filters and the more channels, the better the hearing-aid.
One of the advantages offered by NuEar products is an “active
feedback suppressor” which allows a wearer to use a telephone
without having to take off the hearing-aid.
The senior Feryo explained that to begin the process of getting
a hearing-aid, a customer would fill out a confidential report
providing information about his/her symptoms. “After that, we’ll
go and do a visual inspection of the ear with our otoscope.” That
examination will show things such as the presence of earwax or
the condition of the eardrum.
“Then we do a hearing test on the audiometer.” From that point,
the audiogram report is put into a computer, which will program the
person’s hearing loss to the hearing-aids available. The hearing-aid
is then placed on the patient to show how hearing is improved with
the new aid. The whole process can be completed in about 45
minutes.
The Feryos offer a friendly, relaxed atmosphere in their offices,
and they take pride in providing high-quality products with stateof-the-art technology backed by the service, knowledge and
expertise necessary for a successful practice.
Business hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through
Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday. For more information,
call (570) 286-4400.
