Our community rocks SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. — It was a beautiful day, but my spirit was low as I set off on a walk through South Abington Park. I went a short distance before seeing the first one. The rock’s bright colors contrasted against the earth tones around it. Its painted message was simple: “Shine.”

Farm to Fork dinner scheduled
CLARKS SUMMIT — People can enjoy a summer evening out with fine food and wine while supporting United Neighborhood Center’s (UNC) Community Health Department. UNC’s Farm to Fork dinner will be held at Stone Meadow Gardens, 1273 Country Club Road on Saturday, Aug. 18. The evening will begin with a reception on the patio at 6 p.m. followed by dinner in the Please see Community Rocks, barn space at 7 p.m. TickPage 12 It felt like a gift. A few steps later, I came across more. “You are loved,” one proclaimed. “Smile,” another read. “Hope” was spelled out on the next. These words of encouragement lined the trail. A butterfly was painted on

Summer sounds Windows down and music up — that’s how I roll in the summertime. Which is fortunate, because the air conditioning in my car has been broken all summer. I’m in no hurry to get it fixed because I rarely use it. If the radio or speakers stopped working, however, emergency repairs would be in immediate order. The first thing I check when test-driving a vehicle isn’t under the hood. (I wouldn’t know what to look for there.) As soon as the key turns in the ignition, I search for the radio’s power button. After all, a music enthusiast needs to keep her priorities straight. I love driving through the country with the wind rushing through my hair and the sound of my favorite tunes drowning out the cares of life (and any weird noises my car may start making at any given time). But even more so I love — when I’m not driving — to close my eyes and lose myself in the music, especially at a live concert. It doesn’t matter who’s performing or what genre or category of music they perform — even if it isn’t what I listen to on a regular basis. If it’s live music, it’s almost always good music, in my book. And if it’s an outdoor concert, even better. I caught part of Black Tie Stereo’s set Saturday at the Country Bazaar at St. Benedict’s Church in Newton Township and wished I could have stayed for the whole thing. It was my first time hearing the local band, although I’d heard good things about them. That’s one thing I love most about summertime in the Abingtons and northeast Pennsylvania — there are plenty of local outdoor events featuring live music throughout the season. Some of my favorites are the Lakeside Wednesday Concert Series at Hillside Park, the Dalton Fire Company Carnival and Music on the Lawn at the Lake Please see Summer Sounds, Page 12
