• Mrs. Margaret Dilliard, the "did she or didn't she" convicted<br />
accomplilce to her husb<strong>and</strong>'s 1889 murder in Moore Township will tell<br />
her side of the guresome story. Did detectives frighten her into a false<br />
confession, or did she really plot to do the deed?<br />
• William Bartholomew was her alleged "paramour". Did he lure Mr.<br />
Dilliard to his demise with squawking chickens? Or was he the victim<br />
of vicious gossip? He went to the gallows swearing his innocence <strong>and</strong><br />
cursing everybody, especially Mrs. Dilliard.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> spirit of Ralph Sobelson, the WW I veteran, long-time merchant,<br />
theater operator, <strong>and</strong> first in the Slate <strong>Belt</strong> to Challenge the centuries old<br />
Blue Laws, will patrol the aisles of his Str<strong>and</strong> Movie <strong>The</strong>ater.<br />

runner, who made Native Americans so angry that they repeatedly<br />
attacked his Slateford home <strong>and</strong> picked-off members of his family.<br />

Fall Bridal featuring local businesses to help make your Wedding Day an extraordinary event!<br />
What a Bride Wants:<br />
Relaxation <strong>and</strong><br />
Sophistication Favored<br />
Choices for Bachelorette<br />
Parties<br />
BPT) - As a rite of passage, the bachelorette party has long gotten a<br />
bum rap. Stereotypes persist of the bride's night-before-the-wedding<br />
gathering as a ladies-only version of the raucous bachelor party. Yet the<br />
truth is, a growing number of brides crave a tasteful, relaxing <strong>and</strong> deeply<br />
personal send-off for their single days.<br />
In fact, a relaxing getaway ranked high as an ideal bachelorette party for<br />
59 percent of brides-to-be in the Ultimate Bridesmaids Census. Sixtyseven<br />
percent wanted dinner, dancing <strong>and</strong> time spent with their closest<br />
friends, <strong>and</strong> 23 percent wanted something non-traditional that really<br />
reflected their personal interests.<br />
"Bachelorette parties are as unique as the women they celebrate,"<br />
says Michael Belot, general manager of Destination Kohler - home to<br />
AAA five-diamond <strong>and</strong> Forbes five-star hotel that hosts scores of brides,<br />
bridesmaids <strong>and</strong> weddings each year. "We're seeing an emphasis on<br />
relaxation for the bride <strong>and</strong> companionship with her friends in today's<br />
bachelorette parties. Brides want to spend their special night - <strong>and</strong> often<br />
an entire weekend - in a soothing, stress-free atmosphere before the<br />
hectic pace of their wedding day."<br />
So what are the things that brides <strong>and</strong> bridesmaids tell the Destination<br />
Kohler team they must have for their bachelorette soirees? Belot points to<br />
five in-dem<strong>and</strong> elements:<br />
1. Spa time - Whether it's a group mani-pedi, a yoga class or a lunch<br />
of delicious, healthful spa cuisine, bachelorette groups crave spa time.<br />
Parties are looking for spas that offer a comprehensive list of salon<br />
services, familiar <strong>and</strong> new massages <strong>and</strong> body treatments, <strong>and</strong> easy<br />
access to luxury accommodations. For example, at Destination Kohler,<br />
bachelorette groups often book rooms in the Carriage House, which is<br />
located above the Forbes five-star Kohler Waters Spa. Participants can<br />
spend the day in their spa robes if they choose. "Kohler Waters Spa is by<br />
far the most popular request <strong>and</strong> activity among bachelorette parties, <strong>and</strong><br />
is often the center of the trip," says Garrett Mersberger, manager of Kohler<br />
Waters Spas. Playing to this trend, many resorts have created femalecentric<br />
spa packages like the Girls Getaway.<br />
2. Great food - Forget the pigs in a blanket, deviled eggs <strong>and</strong> other<br />
de rigeur finger foods long associated with bridal showers. Modern<br />
bachelorette groups are looking for dining options that are luxurious <strong>and</strong><br />
delicious, or that accommodate lifestyle needs such as gluten-free or lowcalorie<br />
diets. Spa fare often fits well with this preference. Resorts with<br />
multiple dining options afford bachelorette guests the opportunity to dine<br />
lightly for lunch <strong>and</strong> then enjoy a more indulgent dinner.<br />
3. Bonding activities - Hitting the bar <strong>and</strong> dancing the night away are<br />
no longer the only bonding activities for bachelorette groups. From yoga<br />
classes <strong>and</strong> golf outings to wine <strong>and</strong> chocolate pairings, brides-to-be are<br />
looking for more diverse, sophisticated activities they can do with their<br />
girlfriends.<br />
4. A location "away from it all" - Nearly a third of respondents in the<br />
Bridesmaid Census said they didn't want to go crazy for a bachelorette<br />
party, they just wanted to enjoy time with their friends. Perhaps it's<br />
because their lives are about to change dramatically. Maybe it's a need<br />
to reaffirm the girlfriend bond that has seen them through life's ups <strong>and</strong><br />
downs to reach this happy point in their lives. Whatever their reasons,<br />
a growing number of brides are looking for a bachelorette experience<br />
that transports them <strong>and</strong> their closest friends far away from their daily<br />
routines. Some fulfill this wish by choosing a resort location far from<br />

home. Others may choose accommodations that are more intimate. At<br />
Destination Kohler, bachelorette parties can also opt to stay at S<strong>and</strong>hill,<br />
the resort's luxury private cabin that sits on 350 natural acres just a<br />
10-minute drive from the resort.<br />
5. Personalization - Twenty-three percent of surveyed brides said they<br />
wanted a bachelorette party that was deeply personal <strong>and</strong> tailored to<br />
their individual tastes <strong>and</strong> interests. For some, that's a spa experience.<br />
For others, a golf getaway. Even when they've booked a bachelorette<br />
package, brides <strong>and</strong> their bridesmaids are looking for ways the resort can<br />
customize their experience. Add-ons are popular, from spa treatments to<br />
wine tastings.<br />
Bachelorette party experiences are becoming as individual as the<br />
brides they celebrate, Belot notes. "Brides are not cookie cutter, so their<br />
bachelorette parties shouldn't be either."

A Luncheonette Full of Memories<br />
Ciao Amici,<br />
While doing some treasure hunting I came across<br />
an old newspaper, <strong>The</strong> Express from 1980, which<br />
does not seem to be that long ago, but then again,<br />
that was 35 years ago now that I think about it.<br />
In the neighbors section of the paper I discovered<br />
an article written by Lauri di Felice <strong>and</strong> I feel<br />
this article really captures this wonderful lady I<br />
Joe DeFranco remember; Mary Bert. When I was in grade school<br />
I recall stopping at the luncheonette after having<br />
lunch at home to meet my classmates <strong>and</strong> return to school. Mary always<br />
looked at me with a feeling of belonging. As I’d walked in, she’d say, “Ok that’s<br />
Joe, Succia <strong>and</strong> Marty’s son, no worries.”<br />
This is that article I wish to share with you this week.…<br />
Roseto – <strong>The</strong>re’s only one thing more intriguing than Mary’s Luncheonette –<br />
Mary. <strong>The</strong> 50-year old luncheonette is a world of red naugahyde booths, limp<br />
school pennants, faded plastic flowers <strong>and</strong> old Pepsi-Cola advertisements.<br />
Mary Bert, its owner, is 77. Her hot pink sleeveless dress, silvery styled<br />
hair, red lipstick, quick wit <strong>and</strong> pace seem to make her much younger. ”<strong>The</strong><br />
kids think of Happy Days when they come in here, Mary says, “You know,<br />
like the Fonz.” In <strong>The</strong> middle of the day in the middle of a recent week, the<br />
luncheonette at 90 Garibaldi Ave. was empty. Mary sat at the front booth<br />
peeling carrots. A customer walked in. His eyes followed countless souvenirs<br />
suspended from the ceiling to photographs plastered walls to unplugged<br />
pin ball machines ---to Mary. “Are you open?” <strong>The</strong> stranger asks. Mary Bert<br />
looked up, smiling broadly, still peeling carrots, “If you want something, I’m<br />
open. If you don’t, that’s ok too. What d’ you want?” <strong>The</strong> customer looked<br />
amused <strong>and</strong> baffled <strong>and</strong> Mary Bert had just made another friend. Everybody<br />
knows me she says. And they invite me to their weddings, I matched up a lot<br />
of people in here, believe me.<br />
To be continued next week ……<br />

BENTONITE CLAY<br />
By Jackie Talero-Rueda, <strong>The</strong> Crunchy Mom<br />
Bentonite Clay is a “healing clay” that cleanses <strong>and</strong> heals the body.<br />
M m It’s been used for hundreds of years around the world<br />
to promote better health <strong>and</strong> keep disease from happening.<br />
Bentonite Clay is composed of aged volcanic ash. This clay, also<br />
called Montmorillonite, is the most effective <strong>and</strong> powerful healing clay. Bentonite can<br />
be used externally as a clay poultice, in the bath <strong>and</strong> in skin care recipes for detoxing.<br />
Some even use it internally to help rid of toxins even further. I don’t recommend<br />
doing this with any br<strong>and</strong> of clay as they are not all created equal <strong>and</strong> it needs to<br />
be pure. A good quality Bentonite should be a grey/cream color <strong>and</strong> anything that<br />
is “pure white” should not be used. It has a very fine, soft feel <strong>and</strong> is odorless <strong>and</strong><br />
nonstaining. Bentonite clay has negatively charged electrons <strong>and</strong> most toxins <strong>and</strong><br />
heavy metals have positively charged electrons. This allows the two to bind together<br />
<strong>and</strong> stay united while the toxin removal process happens. Bentonite clay “seeks”<br />
toxins in the body to bind with because naturally any substance that has a missing<br />
ion (which gives it its “charge”) looks for oppositely charged types of substances<br />
that will make it complete. Once bound, the clay is then able to help remove toxins,<br />
chemicals, impurities, <strong>and</strong> “heavy metals” from the gut, skin, <strong>and</strong> mouth that it’s<br />
bound to. I give my kids baths in bentonite clay when they are feeling sick or I know<br />
they’ve been exposed to pollution or chemicals. I make face masks <strong>and</strong> use it in<br />
my deodorant <strong>and</strong> toothpaste recipes. I have yet to take it internally but it’s on my<br />
detox to do list. Bentonite clay detoxifies <strong>and</strong> a lot more than just metals, it’s said<br />
that it helps to remove disease, bacteria, fungi, parasites, chemicals, toxins, yeast,<br />
molds, infections, poisons, <strong>and</strong> viruses as well. An interesting fact is that worms <strong>and</strong><br />
parasites are also clay eaters <strong>and</strong> when the clay is eliminated from the body so are<br />
the worms. <strong>The</strong> clay recipes I use <strong>and</strong> recommend can be found at www.livingclayco.<br />
com .<br />
How to prepare a clay bath: To make mixing easy, start by mixing 12 cups (816 oz.)<br />
of clay powder with 5 cups of water in a lidded container or in a blender, then add<br />
to bath. An alternative method is to lightly sprinkle 12 cups (816 oz.) of clay powder<br />
into the water as it is running, mix until fully dissolved. A whisk may be used to assist<br />
in mixing. Take care, if a blender or metal whisk is used, to immediately wash any<br />
clay residue off of the metal blades or wire hoops after mixing the bath. Soak for<br />
1520 minutes. Submerge as much of your body as possible during the bath <strong>and</strong> stir<br />
the water to circulate the clay. <strong>The</strong> more clay that is used in the therapy, the more<br />
powerful the response. Drink water during <strong>and</strong> after the bath to avoid dehydration. If<br />
the clay is dissolved adequately, it is safe for drains <strong>and</strong> septic tanks. How to make<br />
your own clay mask: Cleansing Clay Mask draws out skin’s impurities <strong>and</strong> excess<br />
oils, leaving it refreshed <strong>and</strong> purified. Bentonite clay for topical application may be<br />
purchased premixed or made from Detox Clay Powder.<br />
Combine clay powder to water at a ratio of 1 part clay to 3 parts water in a glass,<br />
ceramic, or food grade plastic container with a nonmetal, airtight lid. For example: ½<br />
cup (4 oz.) of clay powder to 12 ounces of water. Cover <strong>and</strong><br />
shake vigorously for about a minute or until all lumps are<br />
gone. Larger batches may also be prepared using an electric<br />
mixer or blender; however, take care to immediately wash<br />
any clay residue off of the beaters. Allow the mixture to st<strong>and</strong><br />
for 15 minutes with lid slightly loosened to vent <strong>and</strong> allow for<br />
expansion. **Never leave the clay in direct contact with<br />
metals for long periods of time. For example don't leave<br />
the clay in a metal bowl.<br />
<strong>The</strong> clay's electromagnetic charge will act on the metal<br />
severely limiting the clay’s ability to draw when applied<br />
to the skin <strong>and</strong> may cause the metal to prematurely rust.<br />
**Please consult your physician when starting any detox program.<br />

with <strong>The</strong>se Smart<br />
Winterizing Tips<br />
(BPT) - Cooler temperatures <strong>and</strong> shorter days can only mean one<br />
thing - winter is on its way. January <strong>and</strong> February are typically<br />
considered the coldest months in the Northwest, Northeast<br />
<strong>and</strong> Midwest regions of the United States. It can be tough for<br />
homeowners to stay cozy inside without running up monthly<br />
heating costs. Building professionals say fall is the ideal time to<br />
consider winterizing your home for a more energy efficient <strong>and</strong><br />
comfortable winter.<br />
Look for simple, affordable fixes.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are some simple, inexpensive measures that homeowners<br />
can do to ensure their homes remain energy efficient, warm <strong>and</strong><br />
comfortable. For less than $100, weather-stripping for windows,<br />
a door sweep strip <strong>and</strong> some caulking can help fill any air leaks<br />
to limit energy loss. Replacing the furnace's air filter every three<br />
months can also help create a more comfortable environment<br />
since a clogged filter can reduce the unit's overall efficiency <strong>and</strong><br />
lifespan.<br />
Set the temperature.<br />
Investing in a programmable thermostat allows homeowners to<br />
monitor the indoor temperature of their home remotely via a smart<br />
phone or online. Keeping the temperature low when no one is<br />
home <strong>and</strong> programming the thermostat to increase the temperature<br />
when everyone arrives home, annual heating costs can be reduced<br />
anywhere between 5-15 percent, according to the U.S Department<br />
of Energy. <strong>The</strong> same principle can be applied during summer<br />
months to help save on cooling costs.<br />
Prevent ice damming.<br />
If ice damming on the roof is an annual problem, consider taking<br />
measures to completely stop dams from forming. Major damage<br />
can result from ice damming, so it's never too early to start<br />
thinking about a long-term solution. Ice damming occurs when<br />
warm, indoor air escaping through the roof melts snow on the<br />
shingles. <strong>The</strong> water then refreezes as it runs off the roof, creating<br />
a barrier of ice at the edge. Shovelling snow or chipping ice away<br />
can threaten life, limb <strong>and</strong> roof, so it's best to consider more<br />
permanent solutions.<br />
Keep warm air inside.<br />
While weather-stripping <strong>and</strong> caulking can help address air leakage,<br />
the U.S. Department of Energy's Home Energy Saver website<br />
says that proper air sealing insulation <strong>and</strong> attic venting are the<br />
best methods to stop ice damming from occurring. Spray foam<br />
insulation is a modern solution that both insulates <strong>and</strong> seals to<br />
help stop ice damming. Installed by licensed professionals, spray<br />
foam insulation, like that available from Icynene, works well in all<br />
climates <strong>and</strong> fills in gaps <strong>and</strong> cracks to help stop air leakage as<br />
well as ice dams formation.<br />
As a long-term solution, spray foam insulation helps maintain<br />
a comfortable temperature year round while helping to control
TIME TO SPRUCE UP YOUR HOME AND GARDEN 17<br />
monthly heating <strong>and</strong> cooling expenses. Thanks to spray foam<br />
insulation's air-sealing qualities, homeowners can reduce the size<br />
of their heating <strong>and</strong> cooling equipment since less effort is required<br />
to heat or cool the home.<br />
While air leakage can play a role in higher-than-average<br />

<strong>2015</strong> NFL Football by T. Vatcher<br />
Games to watch week 4<br />
Thursday 10/1 8:25PM - Ravens vs. Steelers<br />
A divisional rivalry kicks off week 4 of the NFL as the Ravens take on the<br />
Steelers. <strong>The</strong> Ravens continue to look for an identity on offense while the<br />
Steelers will look to keep Antonio Brown on his hot streak. Expect to see a<br />
heavy dose of Bell <strong>and</strong> Brown as the Steelers roll easily over the Ravens.<br />
Sunday 10/4 4:25PM - Packers vs. 49ers<br />
<strong>The</strong> 4 o'clock games feature an intriguing matchup as the Packers travel<br />
to California to face off against the 49ers. <strong>The</strong> Packers continue to fight off<br />
injury after injury on their way to victory. <strong>The</strong> 49ers, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, look<br />
like a different team every week. <strong>The</strong> way Rodgers is playing this season,<br />
it probably won't matter regardless. Unless Kaepernick runs like he did two<br />
years ago against the pack in the NFC Championship game, Rodgers should<br />
have no problem carrying the Packers to a win.<br />
Sunday 10/4 8:25PM - Saints vs. cowboys<br />
With no Romo <strong>and</strong> no Dez will the Cowboys st<strong>and</strong> a chance against Bress <strong>and</strong><br />
the Saints? Any chance the Cowboys have will rely on this defense's ability to<br />
contain Brees <strong>and</strong> the Saints' offense. Despite all odds, expect the underdog<br />
Cowboys to rise to the occasion <strong>and</strong> come up with a huge victory.<br />
Week 5<br />
Thursday 10/8 8:25PM<br />
A high powered offense lead by Andrew Luck squares off against JJ Watt<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Texans defense. <strong>The</strong> Colts have been nothing less than disappointing<br />
so far this season. <strong>The</strong> most talked about offense this off season has looked<br />
pedestrian at best. <strong>The</strong> Colts will still be favored but Watt <strong>and</strong> the Texans<br />
defense will give Luck trouble all night on their way to a close win.<br />

This game should mark the return of Jay Cutler to the Bears offense barring<br />
any set backs. <strong>The</strong>y will need it after getting beat down after Cutler left in<br />
week 2 due to injury. <strong>The</strong> Chiefs will be looking to get Charles rolling against<br />

should have an easy road to victory taking down the Bears.<br />
Sunday 10/11 4:25PM - Cowboys vs. Patriots<br />
This show down will be the first real test the Cowboys will face since losing<br />
Romo against the Eagles. Tom Brady <strong>and</strong> the Patriots will put Br<strong>and</strong>on<br />
Weeden <strong>and</strong> the Cowboys' offense to the test as they try to keep up with<br />
one of the highest scoring offenses in the league. Chances are the boys will<br />
have to pass offend to try <strong>and</strong> out score the patriots <strong>and</strong> will have no shot at<br />
beating Brady <strong>and</strong> Gronk at their own game.<br />

It may be two weeks since my son <strong>and</strong> I got back from<br />
our TWD Summer Road Trip, but we’re both still riding<br />
high on the joys of the trip. Hard to believe a 53 year old<br />
single Mom <strong>and</strong> her 14 year old son could travel 860<br />
miles from PA to GA <strong>and</strong> not<br />
want to rip each others throats<br />
out like a starving walker. Add<br />
to that, driving over 250 miles<br />
around GA <strong>and</strong> then the return<br />
trip to PA. Sure we had a few<br />
hiccups, but nothing that took<br />
away from the pleasure of our<br />
adventure. Maybe it’s because<br />
we don’t often get to just hang<br />
out together. It’s usually all about<br />
the day-to-day tasks at h<strong>and</strong>,<br />
especially during the school<br />
year. Or, it could be because<br />
we were both equally excited<br />
about touring the towns where<br />
our favorite show “<strong>The</strong> Walking<br />
Dead” has been filmed. More<br />
than likely, it’s a combination of the two. Personally, I<br />
feel that this trip has become another turning point in my<br />
relationship with my son. And a positive one at that, but<br />
the proof is in the pudding.<br />
Most importantly, we did it. After months of talking <strong>and</strong><br />
preparing (booking hotels, ordering tickets <strong>and</strong> collecting<br />
directions) it seemed like a far off fantasy that would<br />
never come to fruition. Add to that the fact that many<br />
thought I was crazy to consider driving that far for just a<br />
couple days, let alone driving with my teenage son. Not<br />
me though. I believed the TWD bond we have was strong<br />
enough to over ride any issues that could arise. Plus, I<br />
figured the thrill of exploring new territory would keep<br />
us both in good spirits. Turns out, I was right about both.<br />
When we got back to PA, we looked at each other with a<br />
huge glint of satisfaction in our eyes <strong>and</strong> both said “We<br />
did it!” We worked as a team, <strong>and</strong> accomplished our<br />
goals <strong>and</strong> then some.<br />
I preach about team work all the time, but, the<br />
importance of the need for it at home just doesn’t seem<br />
to sink in. It was a different story on the trip though,<br />
my son found out very quickly how important it is when<br />
traveling on the<br />
overly crowded<br />
highways <strong>and</strong><br />
byways of the good<br />
ol’ USA. Especially<br />
in the areas where<br />
the speed limit is 70<br />
miles per hour. My<br />
unresponsive, not<br />
very helpful at times<br />
walker became my<br />
wingman. And a<br />
good one to boot.<br />
He helped to keep<br />
an eye on traffic<br />
Me <strong>and</strong> my Wingman<br />
THE OPTIMISTIC REALIST WINGMAN<br />
PUBLISHED: July 30, 2014 - wakingthewalker.wordpress.com<br />
when I was merging or passing, <strong>and</strong>, was the navigator,<br />
which he thoroughly enjoyed. In addition, despite having<br />
directions, we did need to consult the atlas <strong>and</strong> maps<br />
on my phone in a few instances, which without his help<br />
would have meant pulling off the<br />
road, which would have added<br />
to the already long trip, which<br />
neither of us wanted.<br />
He also learned a lot about the<br />
responsibilities of driving. Seeing<br />
first h<strong>and</strong> what it’s like to drive at<br />
high rates of speed on crowded<br />
highways made him realize that<br />
you really have to have your wits<br />
about you behind the wheel. I<br />
do hope this experience pays off<br />
when it comes to him learning<br />
to drive in two years. We were<br />
almost clipped by more than one<br />
tractor-trailer during our travels<br />
<strong>and</strong> this really shook him up, me<br />
too, but, I already knew the dangers that the overworked<br />
<strong>and</strong> under rested drivers of these metal menaces<br />
traveling at high rates of speed can cause. In all honesty,<br />
they are the reason I don’t take more road trips. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
take the pleasure out of the trip. <strong>The</strong> close calls did make<br />
us both more vigilant when passing these beasts though.<br />
My son even put his video game playing aside to be my<br />
extra pair of eyes, which, for any of you who have read<br />
previous posts know, is a huge feat.<br />
It was these actions that made me realize my little boy is<br />
really growing up, not just physically. I saw true glimmers<br />
of maturity in him through out the trip. One of the biggest<br />
being his optimistic realist reaction to missing Norman<br />
Reedus at base camp by just 15 minutes. On the last day<br />
of our adventure in GA, we decided to take some time<br />
<strong>and</strong> go to the TWD base camp near where they were<br />
filming. We both knew it was a long shot, but we were<br />
optimistic. Hoping that maybe, just maybe, we would get<br />
to meet or at least see one of the stars or producers of<br />
the show. Our hearts sank when we found out Norman<br />
had just left about 15 minutes prior to our arrival, but<br />
all hope was not lost because Melissa McBride <strong>and</strong><br />
Denise Huth were still on set, so we decided to hang<br />
out for awhile. After two hours we knew our window of<br />
opportunity was closing. <strong>The</strong>y had started to pull trailers<br />
off the lot which was an obvious sign this base camp<br />
was shutting down. Added to that was the fact that the<br />
hours of the day were dwindling, <strong>and</strong> we had to start<br />
our long journey home the next day. At this point we<br />
threw in the towel <strong>and</strong> headed back to the hotel. As we<br />
drove, I asked my son if he was disappointed. He said<br />
yeah, but, he knew it was a long shot, so he kept his<br />
anticipation at bay. I thought wow, how grown up of him.<br />
I was thoroughly bummed <strong>and</strong> mentally blaming myself<br />
for not getting us out of the hotel earlier which would<br />
have gotten us to the base camp sooner. How could my<br />
normally doomsday thinking son be so upbeat about<br />
the outcome? <strong>The</strong>n it dawned on me, he was being an<br />
optimistic realist. I try hard to be one myself, but, in a<br />
case like this it certainly wasn’t easy. I had to take a cue<br />
from my son <strong>and</strong> accept the fact that what is to be will<br />
be <strong>and</strong> in this instance it was not.<br />
Considering the theme of our road trip, I couldn’t help<br />
but let my mind me<strong>and</strong>er into the world of “<strong>The</strong> Walking<br />
Dead.” I began to think about the characters <strong>and</strong> who<br />
would fit the optimistic realist best. My thoughts instantly<br />
went to Glenn Rhee (Steven Yuen). He sees the world for<br />
what it is, but continues to fight for survival, believing<br />
all is not lost, especially since finding the love of his<br />
life, Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan). He hasn’t once<br />
considered opting out. In addition, Glenn, is the ultimate<br />
wingman. He always has everyones back <strong>and</strong> he’s<br />
always available to help wherever help is needed. If it<br />
wasn’t for Glenn, Rick would have never navigated his<br />
way through the horde of walkers outside of the tank in<br />
downtown Atlanta. Not that he hasn’t had to take the lead<br />
on occasion, particularly when Rick’s mind went AWOL<br />
after Lori died <strong>and</strong> Daryl left with Meryl. As he said “With<br />
Daryl gone <strong>and</strong> Rick w<strong>and</strong>ering around on the crazy train,<br />
I’m next in charge.” He’s content to be the wingman, but<br />
when needed he’s willing to take charge. He is capable<br />
of leading <strong>and</strong> as the seasons have progressed, has<br />
really come into his own, but, his dependability is what<br />
has made him a<br />
key player for the<br />
survival of the<br />
group.<br />
<strong>The</strong> amazing<br />
thing is that my<br />
son sees this too.<br />
When I asked<br />
him who he<br />
thought was a<br />
prime example<br />
Glenn <strong>and</strong> Rick to the rescue<br />
of an optimistic<br />
realist, he immediately said Glenn. He also didn’t flinch<br />
when acknowledging Glenn as an example of the perfect<br />
wingman. So, the key thing is, if my son sees this, <strong>and</strong><br />
has shown glimpses of these traits, will they become<br />
habits with maturity? I certainly hope so, for his sake<br />
<strong>and</strong> mine. <strong>The</strong> one thing I do know though, is that I will<br />
use our TWD Summer Road Trip as a precedence with<br />
which to build upon. My son proved to me he is capable,<br />
<strong>and</strong> then some, of being dependable <strong>and</strong> positive even<br />
in the face of adversity. So, when he starts to fall back<br />
into his old ignore my chores, negative naysayer, I will<br />
gently mention that he has the potential to be Glenn in<br />
our group. Hopefully this will be all I need to say for him<br />
to know I need my optimistic realist wingman present all<br />
the time, not just on a road trip.<br />
Speaking of our trip, I would be remiss if I didn’t<br />
share details of our adventure, but to keep this post<br />
from getting too long, I’ve decided to split it into two.<br />
Tomorrow I will post a detailed itinerary of our TWD<br />
Summer Road Trip. Any true TWD fan won’t want to<br />
miss this.<br />

St Luke's U.C.C Belfast Rally Day<br />
Along with many churches in the Slate <strong>Belt</strong> area, St. Luke’s United Church<br />
of Christ in Belfast also celebrated Rally Day on Sunday, <strong>September</strong><br />
13th. Although the exact date of its origin is unknown, Sunday School<br />
teachers in the New Engl<strong>and</strong> churches began having a special Sunday<br />
each fall to “rally” the students back to Sunday classes when the flurry<br />
of summer activities ended. <strong>The</strong> leaders’ intent was to challenge the<br />
students to become extra excited about learning their spiritual lessons.<br />
Presently, Rally Day is more often used by church leaders to challenge<br />
the adults in church to rally around the activities of the church <strong>and</strong> to<br />
become re-involved in the work <strong>and</strong> study that occurs in the fall, winter,<br />
<strong>and</strong> summer months. At St. Luke’s, the celebration of Rally Day this year<br />
A fall Craft beer sampling was held on Saturday,<br />
<strong>September</strong> 12th, at Three Brothers Beverage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event was sponsored by Three Brothers Beverage <strong>and</strong> <strong>The</strong> Slate<br />
<strong>Belt</strong> Chamber of Commerce, Those who attended enjoyed Craft beer<br />
samplings, food, <strong>and</strong> music <strong>and</strong> raffles for prize give aways. Donations of<br />
canned goods <strong>and</strong> school supplies were collected for local families.<br />
