<span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">here we are getting the oven temperature to 450 degrees with more coals on top and less on the bottom equaling about 8 on bottom and 12 on top of the lid. We did use some off of the campfire as needed and also made another chimney full. The coals last a good 25 minutes then replace as needed with turning the lid a quarter turn opposite the bottom part of the oven keeping the baking even with NO </span><span style="line-height: 25px;">hot spots</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">.</span></div></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
On our last camping trip we spent 4 nights at Twin Lakes with the cold and rain first weekend in June but, in between the storms and rain drops we made some delicious dishes. The glamping was not so glamorous for National Glamping weekend during our stay ;) <br />
During our time out it was still wonderful to get away and try out our dutch oven set-up and new kitchen configuration.

A paper that provides comfort for residents faraway, those lucky enough to live in the borough of Johnsonburg and has remarkably been in continuous operation for 130+ years. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Johnsonburg historian, Kevin "Reg" Barwin, tells us in the preface of his book, <i>The Paper Boy from the Paper City</i>, that besides the sports page his favorite column included "A Journey Through the Years-From the Files of the Johnsonburg Press." This popular column piqued his interest as to the prior happenings and chronicles of his beloved hometown; a fascination that resides inside of him to this day.

This past week I have gone through 27 years of agendas, minutes, letters, booklets and studies. When the JCT gets all set-up in the office, of the Heritage Education & Welcome Center, there will be more files coming over from the Borough offices on Main Street. I cannot wait to have everything under one roof and to learn from the directors that came before us <3</p><p><a class="u-url" href="https://porcupine-oboe-wrmw.squarespace.com/blog/gpryamx9we3lcahlb66cgy96e7b9gk" rel="bookmark" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.9); font-family: adobe-garamond-pro; font-size: 32px; letter-spacing: 0px; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Uniting the Past and Present: Johnsonburg Community Trust's Story</a></p><header class="entry-header" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1707611559794_1100" style="background-color: white; color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.7); font-family: adobe-garamond-pro; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 36px;"><div class="meta-below-title "><div class="entry-byline" style="color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.4); display: inline;"></div><div class="entry-morefrom" style="color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.4); display: inline;"><span class="entry-category"><a class="entry-morefrom-link" href="https://porcupine-oboe-wrmw.squarespace.com/blog/category/Brick+Block" rel="tag" style="background: transparent; color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.4); text-decoration-line: none;">Brick Block</a>, <a class="entry-morefrom-link" href="https://porcupine-oboe-wrmw.squarespace.com/blog/category/History+and+Heritage" rel="tag" style="background: transparent; color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.4); text-decoration-line: none;">History and Heritage</a></span></div></div></header><div class="entry-content e-content" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1707611559794_330" style="background-color: white; color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.7); font-family: adobe-garamond-pro;"><div class="sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12" data-layout-label="Post Body" data-type="item" data-updated-on="1707599098893" id="item-65c7c82510f5ea02e098bf14"><div class="row sqs-row" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1707611559794_329" style="margin-left: -17px; margin-right: -17px; position: relative; width: auto !important;"><div class="col sqs-col-12 span-12" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1707611559794_328" style="float: left; padding-right: 0px; width: 706.852px;"><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-text-ready" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1707591687237_19184" style="clear: both; font-size: 24px; height: auto; outline: none; padding: 0px 17px 17px; position: relative;"><div class="sqs-block-content" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1707611559794_327"><div class="

They were from organizations, businesses, local government, the borough and also, private individuals. All with a deep connection to the town and were, honestly, movers and shakers. Starting simply with the creation of, what was called, the Downtown Committee, the precursor to what would be the Johnsonburg Community Trust, they formed a plan. Members of this original group were Chris Bressler, Charlie Constable, Dan Freeburg, Ron King, Joyce Maletto, Cathy Mehalko, Mary Polaski, Harriet Stahli and Steve Vallone. These pioneers started making phone calls, establishing funds then ultimately hiring a consulting service out of Brookville, Taylor & Taylor Associates. The Johnsonburg Community Trust (JCT) was formed in 1997. From here, the JCT directors began the process of becoming a non-profit - they were incorporated in the fall of 1998, bylaws were adopted, their mission statement was written and thus began the laborious process of applying for the historic section of downtown to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places, received September 27, 1999. This designation, the name Commercial Historic District, was extremely important to the growth of downtown..</p></div></div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-text-ready" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1707600219346_45356" style="clear: both; font-size: 24px; height: auto; outline: none; padding: 17px; position: relative;"><div class="sqs-block-content" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1707611559794_341"><div class="

The community is small and rural in character, although heavily industrialized, and lies at the confluence of two branches of the Clarion River, nine miles north of Ridgway, the county seat. The buildings within the district date from between 1890 and the late 1930s, are primarily of brick, and are of two and three stories in height. The architectural styles evident within the district include Italianate, Colonial and Neo-Classical Revivals, and Art Deco; some buildings are built without reference to any academic style. The district includes portions of Center Street (U. S. Route 219) and Market Streets, which run roughly parallel to each other, and Bridge Street, which connects the two streets at right angles near the south boundary of the district. Just outside the district, at the north end of Market Street, the Williamette Paper Mill physically dominates the skyline of the northern terminus of the district. Thirty-eight individual resources are in the district, of which thirty-three (85%) contribute to the character of the district and five (15%) are non contributing. Of the thirty-eight resources in the district, thirty-seven are buildings and one—a piece of religious statuary—is a contributing object. Approximately 20% of the buildings in the district were built between c. 1890 and 1900, about 70% between 1900 and 1945 and approximately 10% after World War II. The district contains one residential building, one industrial building, and three institutional buildings; the remainder are primarily commercial.</em> </p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">United States Department of the Interior<br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" />National Park Service<br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" />National Register of Historic Places<br style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" />Registration Form</p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">JCT’s mission statement:</p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The Mission of the Johnsonburg Community Trust is to promote, obtain and administer revitalization projects for the Borough of Johnsonburg in order to attract new retail businesses and improve the business opportunities for existing retailers, in a way that:</p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">1. Creates an appealing shopping environment by enhancing our existing building structures and architecture designs.</p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">2. Utilizes and takes advantage of our region's rich natural resources and history to promote tourism and related businesses.</p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">3. Includes ideas and input from all sectors of our population, both business and residential.</p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">4. To improve the quality of life of the community of Johnsonburg by educating the general public as to the heritage of the community, by historic preservation, by aesthetic improvement and by the development of the arts.</p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In 1997 the JCT committees were formed including the Preservation/Design Committee, Arts Committee, Nominating Committee and Finance Committee. Public meetings were scheduled, a Central Business District Assessment was complete and streetscape contractors were invited to place bids and grants written to begin a facade program. In 2000, the <a href="https://arts.psu.edu/research-creative/hamer-center" style="background: transparent; color: #3d9991; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Hamer Center for Community Design</a> Assistance, which is an outreach unit from the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at Penn State University developed an action plan. The recommendations of their Mobile Studio team represents four areas of action which include Community Entrances, Downtown Streetscapes, Community Greenways and Community Building and Networking. </p><p class="" style="margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Many of these strategic projects were implemented throughout town including tree plantings, commercial building facades, signage and more. Business owners were often contacted about how they could be a part of downtown revitalizations and grants were written. </p></div></div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-text-ready" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1707591687237_22900" style="clear: both; font-size: 24px; height: auto; outline: none; padding: 17px; position: relative;"><div class="sqs-block-content" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1707611559794_350"><div class="

Funding for murals painted by the talented artist Tom Copella took place in 2014 and 2015 and, in 2019, the Johnsonburg Community Center had an overhaul of its playground. </p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Come June 2020, a first happened for this non-profit - the purchase of a 45,000 sq ft Armstrong Real Estate and Improvement Company's Brick Block building. This 1890’s brick structure holds great importantance architecturally, for it occupies ¼ of the downtown’s Commercial Historic District. Up to that point the JCT had never owned property but, if the 12 bay structure were to be demolished a huge portion of the district would not exist. The group became obsessed with saving the Brick Block with its multiple storefronts, recessed arcade, and lively profile. For months volunteers removed tons of debris and also made this 130 year old building weathertight and as structurally sound as the times permitted.</p><p class="" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A Rehabilitation Plan was created/implemented for the Brick Block (BB), volunteers continued working hard to save the BB, all while the directors held events, fundraisers and completed other community projects. Starting in 2021, plans were made to build out a Heritage Education & Welcome Center in the first unit of the BB, located on the corner of Bridge and Market Street. This essential build-out would become a place for historical displays, classes & educational workshops, the JCT office, events, retail space for local artisans and an umbrella for other non-profits, welcome center, etc.</p><p class="" style="margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Coming into 2022/2023, the JCT is continuing to work with the borough on greenspaces through town as well as other upcoming projects throughout 2024.. Many, many exciting ventures are continuing to unfold including a Community Economic Development Coordinator being hired that the borough will share, 20 hrs in Johnsonburg and 20 hrs in Ridgway. We also partnered with <a href="https://communityedcenter.com/leadership-elk-cameron-lec/" style="background: transparent; color: #3d9991; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Leadership Elk & Cameron</a> on the Together We can Make a Difference survey in 2022.

These are 8.5" long but, you can get them up to 12". The trick is to get the wide style to then use in extra thick shakes and smoothies. You know you want one everyday of your life! <br /><br />

Don't over think it. Take a glass, 1/2 fill it with ice, pour spring water over top, poke some fruit/herbs/tea bags or a bit of everything in your infusion adding sugar perhaps. You can make them ahead but, I drink while and during the steeping process adding more ice or water as needed.<br />
<br />
What possible combos are intriguing to you? Plum and Thyme, Sage and Apple or Peach and Rosemary sound like refreshing pairings.<br />

She was picking me up at 11 so, be ready, she said, lol. I figured that we would go to Tablespoon's Cafe & Deli, a wonderful lunch restaurant in a restored historic building, St. Marys and we did. Our good friend Andrew is part owner with his Mom. They are very talented and go that extra with making a lot of in-house preparations. A go-to for me is their Cobb Salad w/the in house Poppy Seed Dressing, so good with tons of avocado, bacon and other greens/veg. This time I also ordered their absolutely delicious, lovingly made, Chicken Spaetzel soup. Oh my, it was truly, truly, again, delicious. Christine's usual is a toasted cheese. She also ordered the Spaetzel soup and loved both. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeMesq1ORxVU-T2fAj2WwEYAbrprvgEsGKF6I52CSJb6Ew-n45l2rxmHDUj9hVDUxMWpXKvTeq7zMAwm69wlWbgtJPse4352hs9U0QSBfIwtyUuDgL7YYsGijtlqLAbWZo_MgEEzEVKaNynzwHSoN6rGgL7fBxGACp0151zVRhJg2uPUD_ia5d/s4080/PXL_20240205_163618003.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeMesq1ORxVU-T2fAj2WwEYAbrprvgEsGKF6I52CSJb6Ew-n45l2rxmHDUj9hVDUxMWpXKvTeq7zMAwm69wlWbgtJPse4352hs9U0QSBfIwtyUuDgL7YYsGijtlqLAbWZo_MgEEzEVKaNynzwHSoN6rGgL7fBxGACp0151zVRhJg2uPUD_ia5d/w301-h400/PXL_20240205_163618003.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHZWXBeQT80basY5nl0ZkCbYmgL6KbeYRHxmIdJ38KdUZ1_xO3Ke10dPY-T447mFeiwRtOPS8c_98_yTlTqlWoQOf4HS3PVn_5faqUb86h6CE16GZ2iT6NqhGnTTLHr03BxDrYJSa3ow7imQ_RIuuPs-AYH0rQ9WdjoAmX0fALpnj7hBbN0sZ/s4080/PXL_20240205_163643918.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHZWXBeQT80basY5nl0ZkCbYmgL6KbeYRHxmIdJ38KdUZ1_xO3Ke10dPY-T447mFeiwRtOPS8c_98_yTlTqlWoQOf4HS3PVn_5faqUb86h6CE16GZ2iT6NqhGnTTLHr03BxDrYJSa3ow7imQ_RIuuPs-AYH0rQ9WdjoAmX0fALpnj7hBbN0sZ/w482-h640/PXL_20240205_163643918.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Look at all of that bacon!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGK1Cj2WzPD9rWZ_cwMwhb-8ooC_mT8u0y_R5eImVDQIovf7hVmeM2AXrywShOouztzU0tvSnTGoQYSf9m2_Q-QZEwHcMZRknfFJR5admQ5bNBzBfmjNYue4yD0Rnh_87yfzsmp-JABtRrzQRdyo6jYE1GS7fOL1bfoyg7Jb0hiGDci0TFyyIs/s7464/PXL_20240205_170017226.RAW-01.COVER~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7464" data-original-width="6144" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGK1Cj2WzPD9rWZ_cwMwhb-8ooC_mT8u0y_R5eImVDQIovf7hVmeM2AXrywShOouztzU0tvSnTGoQYSf9m2_Q-QZEwHcMZRknfFJR5admQ5bNBzBfmjNYue4yD0Rnh_87yfzsmp-JABtRrzQRdyo6jYE1GS7fOL1bfoyg7Jb0hiGDci0TFyyIs/w526-h640/PXL_20240205_170017226.RAW-01.COVER~2.jpg" width="526" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Andrew restored this building in such a beautiful, creative way.

The development of tools has played a pivotal role in the evolution of humans. Tools have allowed us to adapt to our environment, survive in harsh conditions, and develop new technologies. Today, tools are used for a wide range of tasks, from everyday household chores to complex scientific experiments. The history of tools is a story of human ingenuity and creativity.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I most definably love all tools and cannot help myself but, pick up more at estate sales, second hand stores and antique shops. There is such beauty in how the maker designed each tool for its specific use in such an aesthetically pleasing way. </div></div><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhND7o9M7PTZtV3jXCCx_XBQoP7GuhK8GIJMLB0aSMv7T8j7G03VS1bN8HFngp0eiR-ejS4avMm6mEvK0KiZYia7A67l3MmeAdTJNsoCXM-0cEv6dhd6g7bQMk0kIPeUdDCtoATlxnVKSYwvUDwY4pd5KVW3MZ8gjNFpez3HKcI-BuFNVM1liPq/s2926/hammers%20stump.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2926" data-original-width="2926" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhND7o9M7PTZtV3jXCCx_XBQoP7GuhK8GIJMLB0aSMv7T8j7G03VS1bN8HFngp0eiR-ejS4avMm6mEvK0KiZYia7A67l3MmeAdTJNsoCXM-0cEv6dhd6g7bQMk0kIPeUdDCtoATlxnVKSYwvUDwY4pd5KVW3MZ8gjNFpez3HKcI-BuFNVM1liPq/w640-h640/hammers%20stump.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">a small collection of hammers, that my father restored.

Going out for supper, stopping at a new micro brewery, antiquing and whatever else we can find that is interesting, is our usual routine. The interesting thing this time around was the historic village of <a href="https://westmorelandhistory.org/hannas-town/" target="_blank">Hannatown</a>. Herb and I arrived about 30 minutes before closing time and explored their new show, 25 Artifacts from Across the County to Highlight 250 Years of History. It is a wonderful display! I met Barbara Rehberg, Library Coordinator, who was very, very gracious and informative. You will see some of those photos in Vibe Saturday's 2024 photos bottom of this blog.</p><p>Below are Vibe Saturday photos 2016-2024 that shows different Saturdays through those 8 years. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoRa35w5IMxEvTu-qnBwCa5qh502fWV2pxOcyirFP02KkNSYXAdOdib-G97zpXsXj9JUv0mCgQB7J7LyPhtY-61bM89bkiF0u6bEvvPJUqNZTuHtOd_FzAGo0XRVFYUkUh8htjPJ5pxW6b96O3SWgmPchvsERj2vTDTWUDqUPfxGlw6M2doxvh/s3318/gala%20performance%204%202016.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Located in a home studio I focus on ‘made by these hands’ designs. It is very important for me to be the one making/touching each piece. Fiber, clay, metal, vintage components, buttons, Czech beads and semi-precious stones are some of the materials that I use. A collection of antique/new hand tools, rolling mills, torch, vibrating tumbler, hydraulic press, bench shear, anvil, metal letter & design stamps and a bench lathe are some of the tools used in the process of jewelry making. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I also love working as a fiber artisan.

Baked clay became an essential material when creating faces for the improvisational bead embroidery ArtDolls. A faux quartz face cab is my absolute favorite. Baked clay beads, buttons, components and focals came later and still continue. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mixed media is also an art form that makes its way into my daily life.

--I hope you take away something helpful from my journey. I have been interviewing creatives and thought that it would be fun to interview myself, lol. February 2005 is when this blog was started and also my birthday month. Over the years I have celebrated with posting each day the month of February!
enjoy, take care-

It is always exciting to begin again with experiences, projects, techniques or tools for me. A new addition to designs this year will be leather components. Over the years I would pick up tools, leather and findings that could be used for leather work or also artisan jewelry. I love putting together a collection of tools for each new project or projects coming up. NOW I have a pretty cool studio kit for all of the collected leather related tools and findings over the years plus, you guessed it, new purchases also. <br /><br />Going down the leathercraft rabbit hole is dangerous especially after just buying tons of metalsmithing tools for 2024.</span></p><h3 style="background-color: white;
