While researching the Lions Club of Ellwood City, I learned that Sally Scheidemantel bought the first Lion fountain as a memorial to her father, Floyd Scheidemantel.There was a whole lot of country going on. 29, 1984, The Renegades were playing at the Sons of Italy, Country Ramblers were playing at the VFW and Bandit at Evelyn's Corral. I just tried to put together Ellwood and world, and I thought it was good. Oh, honestly, I don’t have that much ego. Some people think it stands for L world, like in Louise's world. When you listen to my radio show "Ellworld" on WXED 107 FM and you hear me say, "Ellworld is all about Ellwood City and the surrounding areas," please note how it is spelled.If we were here on a month-to-month basis, we would have been evicted long ago." - Rose Bird, (1936-1999), former chief justice of California Supreme Court That does not fit my definition of a good tenant.
"We have probed the Earth, excavated it, burned it, ripped things from it, buried things in it, chopped down its forests, leveled its hills, muddied its waters, and dirtied its air. There are some days when I feel I am older than anyone, and other days I wonder why I'm hanging out with all these old people. I am three days older than Willie Nelson. He has decided that if he ever was getting up a game of basketball, he would not pick me for his team. Joe Cioffi was behind me and he enjoyed my fumbling. Finally I got hold of it and I was trying to throw it under the table so no one would step on it, and it took me two tries to do that. I dropped a cube of cheese, I tried to pick it, I dropped it again. While attending the annual chamber dinner, a very elegant affair, I was in line at the hors d'oeuvres table. It means an inelegant, improvised solution to a problem, a haphazard solution. It is a great word because it sounds like what it is. Oh, honestly, she filed off the bit of rust at the end. The marvelous Nancy fixed it within a minute with an emery board. I took my coat to Nancy Smith for a new zipper, but I didn't need a zipper.
