This one was interesting for me to write because when I was 17, I went to Sullivan Community College. It was basically the only college that would accept me. I wasn’t that great as a student in high school, but that’s because I wanted to be a musician, and I spent all my time practicing piano. It wasn’t because I was lazy; I just found what I wanted to do with my life, and I did that for a good 30 years.
It's great that the new speed limit takes into consideration the safety of the community, drivers and pedestrians in Liberty!
REMAX Wayne, of Honesdale, posted on its Facebook page Nov. 5 that the real estate company has sold a wooded lot fronting Route 6 in Waymart for $85,000. The plans for the commercial property have not yet been made known. The 2.38-acre parcel is on the south side of Route 6, sandwiched between DG Market, previously known as Dollar General (670 Roosevelt Highway, Waymart), and the former Hayes Market (686 Roosevelt Highway, Waymart). The lot bends around behind the DG Market parcel. The newly sold lot is zoned for general commercial development.

Arthur A. Bryant Funeral Home at 1228 N. Main St., Honesdale, closed on Nov. 6, capping over 80 years in business. The closure of one of Honesdale’s two funeral homes came with the retirement of longtime owner Arthur “Art” A. Bryant, who chose not to sell his business. The family business was started by his father, Arthur “Bud” E. Bryant, who began his career in the 1940s and opened the funeral parlor at this location. Art Bryant became a licensed funeral director in 1979. A press release states, “With recent health challenges and a cancer diagnosis, the decision to close his practice has not come easily. Rather than simply selling the business to another Funeral Director, Bryant has chosen to personally recommend that the families who have entrusted him with their care turn to Edward R. Howell, owner and operator of Howell Family Funeral Home, Inc., in Waymart.” “Edward is no stranger to the families I have served. He knows nearly all of them personally. He is a well-known, respected, and trusted Funeral Director who has deep roots in this community.” Bryant said in the press release. “I know his character, his commitment to this profession, and I have complete
