Robert John “Chief” “Keystone” Happe

Cinnaminson – Robert John Happe “Happe”, “Chief,” “Keystone” from Cinnaminson passed away early on the morning of October 16, 2021 at the age of 42. He was surrounded by his loving family as he ended his very tough and courageous battle with Covid.

Happe was born in Ewing on December 7, 1978 where his love for the NY Giants started, but spent his childhood years in Mt. Laurel. He graduated from Lenape HS and started his career in the Warehouse at Tropicana Corp. He left there to follow in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps to work at PSEG. He quickly earned the respect and trust of his peers first as a machinist and then as an underground lineman. For the last fifteen years he has made his co-workers laugh at his antics and jokes. Happe is known for his wit and very strong sense of humor. Every time you were in his presence he surely made you laugh and you’d leave with a smile. Happe loved hanging out in his garage and having outside fires; his fire pit was the envy of the Georgian Dr. family. Happe was loved by many and has left behind many heartbroken and grieving family, friends, and neighbors.

Rob was predeceased by his grandparents Robert and Jean Happe, John and Mary Helmstetter, Uncle George Happe and his Aunt Kathy Ferrera. He is survived by his loving fiancée, Nicole Bruno, her daughter Gianna and his fav friend Mini “Poots,” His adoring parents, Margaret (Maggie) and Len, his sister Caitlin who cherished and idolized her big brother, his MIL Donna Bruno and BIL John Bruno. He is also survived by his Uncles, Jack Helmstetter ( Joyce) and Joe McGowan ( Donna), and his Aunts, Maureen Williams ( Lee ), MaryBeth Helmstetter, Carol Happe Mannino( Paul),…

Rosenthal, Krypel make District 2 singles tennis semifinals

Four players dominated the action Monday at Kirby Park as the District 2 Class 2A girls tennis field was trimmed to the semifinals where two rematches are on Wednesday’s agenda.

Unbeaten district team champion Wyoming Seminary will have a player in each of those matchups after Ilana Rosenthal and Ella Krypel each won three times to advance.

Rosenthal and Krypel are the only two Wyoming Valley Conference players to make it through Monday’s early rounds.

A field of 34 was trimmed to four with three-plus rounds in Class 2A.

At the North Pocono Middle Schools, six players remain from an original group of 22 in Class 3A, with two quarterfinals still needing to be completed, but all six of those players are from the Lackawanna League.

The Class 3A players will join the survivors in Class 2A at Kirby Park Wednesday for the completion of the tournament.

An 11:30 a.m. completion of two quarterfinals has been scheduled before the tournament continues with the planned 1 p.m. semifinal rounds. The finals are played following the completion of the semifinals.

Krypel will play a rematch of last year’s final where she fell to three-time defending district champion and 2019 state champion Karissa Ghigiarelli from Riverside.

Rosenthal will meet Scranton Prep’s Alyssa Wigley in a match between the freshmen standouts of each of District 2’s two leagues.

Rosenthal went undefeated in the WVC without losing a game in conference play. Wigley lost only to Ghigiarelli. Both freshmen ascended to the number-one singles spots on established powers early in their freshmen seasons.

During Thursday’s district team championships, Rosenthal took a 6-1, 3-1 lead on Wigley, but when her teammates secured the title, the match was never completed.

The seeds, with Wigley second, one spot ahead of…

Engaged Citizen Corner: 316 years and counting

League of Women Voters of Brookline, Diana McClure  |  Wicked Local

What is now known as Brookline was once part of the Algonquian territory. First settled by European colonists in 1638, it was part of an outlying section of the colonial settlement of Boston, known as the hamlet of Muddy River. Incorporated as a separate town on November 13, 1705, it has remained a town for 316 years. 

Cities and towns are creatures of the state; the only distinction between the two is the form of government. Towns always have a Select Board (three or five members) and a Town Meeting (open or representative). Cities always have a city council, varying greatly in size, with either an elected mayor or an appointed manager, or some hybrid – e.g., Cambridge has an appointed City Manager with a “weak” mayor appointed by the City Council, with some political authority and discretion. 

Prior to the Home Rule authority granted to cities and towns by the state legislature in 1966, cities and towns received their right to organize from the state and had to act only in ways granted by the General Court (Legislature), or as implied by powers conveyed. Home rule in general provides much more governing autonomy for cities or towns and allows communities to enact charters (through a charter commission process), without state approval. 

Usually, a municipal government is defined by a single charter, some 25 to 50 pages long, laying out all the roles and responsibilities of the city or town. 

Brookline, though, does not have a single legislative act constituting a charter. The town operates with a combination of default state laws relating to local government organization, adoption of optional state laws, and enactment of our own home rule bills requiring adoption by the state legislature. Keeping track of 316 years of state laws and going through the home rule process can be…

Bartlesville Radio » News » 2021 Operation Clean House a Success, to Return in 2023

Operation Clean House (OCH) has served as an environmentally-friendly beacon in Washington County for 32 years, and 2021 was no different.

Operation Clean House was held on Saturday, Sept. 18 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Liz Campbell, the Lead Director of OCH, says they collected a ton of hazardous waste and electronic waste at their Bartlesville and Dewey locations this year. Campbell says they took in 14,600 pounds of hazardous waste such as household chemicals and pesticides. She says they collected 38,000 lbs. of electronic waste (i.e. computers, televisions, VCRs, etc.) and over 650 gallons of oil as well.

The oil was re-used at the Washington County District Two barn two miles to the east of Dewey on West 1500 Road.

Almost 100 gallons of anti-freeze was collected during OCH. Campbell says there were even three dump trucks full of appliances that were properly disposed of as well. She says it was amazing to see how much material they prevented from being taken to the landfill this year.

Since 1989, Operation Clean House has collected 367,000 lbs. of hazardous waste. A total of 765,000 lbs. worth of electronics and 11,069 gallons of oil have been taken in over the years as well. These numbers include this year’s totals.

A total of 927 vehicles made their way to the two OCH locations this year. Campbell says there were just over 680 cars that came to drop off waste at the Phillips 66 parking lot in Bartlesville. She says they saw 245 vehicles come through the Dewey location.

A significant number of Washington County citizens participated in the event. Campbell applauds the volunteers that came out to help make our neck of the woods cleaner and safer for all to enjoy….

Marquette adopts land and water acknowledgement

Located along the southwest shores of the Michigami, at the intersection of the Milwaukee, Kinnikinnick and Menominee river sits the city of Milwaukee. The area that was once known to various nations is now currently a part of Marquette’s campus. Marquette’s new adopted Land and Water Acknowledgment aims to recognize that history.

“We are mindful that our campus and Milwaukee are the homelands and waters of the Menominee, Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, Fox, Mascouten, Sauk and Ojibwe nations, who have known these lands and waters as relatives for millennia and whose descendants alongside many other tribal nation members remain our hosts,” University President Michael Lovell said when announcing the acknowledgement’s adoption. 

The news of the adoption of the Land and Water Acknowledgement was received positively by some of the Indigenous students on campus. Clare Camblin, a junior in the College of Communication and member of the Osage Nation Eagle Clan, was one of those students.

“I texted my grandparents right away, it felt so good. I was very excited that they did that,” Camblin said. 

The acknowledgment was officially adopted Oct. 7 and is available in both written and oral versions. It was developed with Indigenous student leadership, including the Native American Student Association and faculty advisors. 

Some of the goals of the land and water acknowledgement are pay respect to elders of the past as well as continuing to develop good relations with sovereign Indigenous nations. Acknowledgements like these help to strengthen relationships between communities and develop a “condition of hospitality” for Indigenous students and community members.

Marquette’s council on Native American affairs was also involved in the development process. In addition to Lovell, the Land and Water Acknowledgement was approved by Provost and Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs Kimo Ah Yun.

“They pretty much told me they wouldn’t be opposed…

Donald Edward Tingle Sr., DelDOT retiree

Donald Edward Tingle Sr., 83, passed away in the care of TidalHealth Nanticoke in Seaford Friday, Oct. 15, 2021. He was born Dec. 31, 1937, to the late George Tingle and Pauline E. Wootten in Delaware. 

He married Doris J. Tinley in 1973, and together they raised four children. He was a hardworking man who always put family above all else. He believed the most valuable thing ever given was time well spent, and one of the ways he enjoyed spending time was working on cars and tinkering around. He was a quiet, peace-filled soul and a man of few words which were worth paying attention to.

Donald served in the Army, and after his honorable discharge, he worked for 1st State Chevy, formerly known as Burton’s Chevrolet and Oldsmobile, for 25 years, then ultimately retired from DelDOT.

Donald loved his family above all else. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 48 years, Doris J. Tingle. Donald is survived by his sons: Donald Tingle Jr. and partner Kelly Stong of Georgetown, and Dwayne Tingle and wife Lisa of Greenwood. Also surviving are his stepson: John Wyatt Jr. and wife Cammy of Milford, stepdaughter Nancy Scott and partner Ronald Hawkins Jr. of Frederica, and 11 grandchildren: Shawna, Jimmy, Donald III, Avari, Kielei, Cotter, Jamie, Jason, Michael, Jennifer and Jonathan. There are six great-grandchildren: Trenton, Isabella, Leyna, Hazell, Silas, and Mason.

A pass through viewing will be held Saturday, Oct. 23, at Watson’s Funeral Home, Millsboro, at 10 a.m. Immediately following will be a graveside service in Carey’s Cemetery on Conaway Road, Millsboro, at 11:30 a.m. with Pastor Curtis Jones officiating. This will be a double Celebration of Life for Donald and his wife Doris, who passed one week prior.
