MAY 16: This notice was posted in the newsletter late today: FOUND on the side of the road in front of 33 Walnut Road: a car charger for something electronic. It's a Verizonwireless car charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter. The part that inserts into the electronics equipment is about 1/2 inch. It was found Monday, May 16 in midday. Call Carolyn to claim. I took the item to the Borough Council meeting tonight, where the owner was found. MAY 8: The ground rumbled and dust clouds rose as road machinery continued their work today. Click on the photo album (scenery) for a peek. MAY 7: Roadwork in the borough has begun! Watch for improvements over the next few days. MAY 4: Westmoreland History, the magazine of the Westmoreland Historical Society, published an article on Robert Mendler, a holocaust survivor from Latrobe. Carolyn C. Holland is the author. Copies, $5, are available from WCHS by calling 724/836-1800. MAY 3: WARNING: The bears are back. Protect your property by taking your bird feeders inside at night. Early this morning Craig Miller, 10 Hemlock Rd., was adjusting his bird feeder. He thought a squirrel had "rearranged" it until he noticed muddy paw prints on his yellow siding and bay windows. "The bear is back," he said. (See Photo Album, Who's Who for a pix of the bear paw.) Just after the noon bell rang Dan O'Brien approached me as I was digging dandelions from my front yard. He wanted to warn me that a bear was on the loose---two of his birdfeeder poles (13 Hemlock Rd.) were flattened to the ground this morning! Does anyone else have a "bear story?" If so, E-mail me: lmborolmpark@yahoo.com MAY 3: On a more positive note, Craig noted that the humming birds are back. In his 20-year record of their spring arrival, he notes that they always return between April 30 and May 2. MAY 3: Scroll down the list at the following site to find the dates of the Laurel Mountain Borough history article printed in two issues of the Westmoreland County Historical magazine: http://www.starofthewest.org/html/services/magazine.html (I just found this site.) Unfortunately, the articles are not online. Copies are available to view at the historical society and the Ligonier Valley Library. Copies, which were sold out, are available from Carolyn---for details and requests E-mail lmborolmpark@yahoo.com. |
