Children are more likely to run out into the road without looking, and the school bus is a large obstacle that obstructs their view of the road. If you are following a large vehicle that suddenly slows on a rural road, don’t assume you can overtake; it might have spotted a school bus and is obscuring you vision of it. On rural roads it’s possible to come around a corner and find a school bus on the side of the road, not leaving you much opportunity to slow down. Please take care on the roads where school bus route signs are present THANK YOU….

  • Births, Marriages & Deaths from the Carbon Advocate 1882-1883
    Births, Marriages & Deaths From The Carbon Advocate, 1882-1883 This is the fifth in a series of vital records extracted from the Lehighton Newpaper, The Carbon Advocate. Like the previous parts, in extracting the births, marriages & deaths, I have not included the following types of items: 1. Items that did not pertain to Carbon or the surrounding counties. I excluded anything west and south of Berks County, and south of Lehigh & Northampton Counties. I generally included anything north of Carbon county. 2. Estate notices. 3. Murder trials. 4. Coroner inquests when they are not part of the original death notice. In extracting these records, I have copied items as completely and exactly as possible. I have not attempted to correct any spelling errors. If I felt a need to add any text, I did so in brackets. Although most of the papers on microfilm were easy to read, there were some times where the image quality made things difficult. Because of this, researchers are advised to consult the original records. Volume 10, Number 7, Saturday, January 7, 1882 Local and Personal. James Coon, a well-known mine contractor of Pleasant Valley, Luzerne county, acidentally shot and killed himself on Monday while hunting. Local and Personal. Frank Dormer died at Pottsville on Saturday from the effects of injuries received in an explosion at Otto Colliery about two weeks ago. Local and Personal. The youngest daughter of Mrs. C.

There was so much material for the last edition that we decided to do an extra one. For me this is a sign of the dynamism and energy in our diocese and a reflection of all the wonderful things that are going on. It is one of the blessings of being the bishop that I get to see so many of the things that are happening and am able to participate in some of them. At a time when we can be inclined to think that faith is not important to people, we have so many witnessing to and working to support others within and beyond our community. This edition comes out as the Easter season is drawing to wonderful past which our forebears worked so hard for and an end with the celebration of the Ascension of our Lord we are now being asked to look to the future.

  • History of Saint James Parish, Davis
    SACRAMENTO DIOCESAN ARCHIVES Vol 4 Father John E Boll, Archivist No 22 HISTORY OF SAINT JAMES PARISH, DAVIS Taken from Material Gathered from the Saint James Parish Archives The first Mass in Davis (then called Davisville) was offered in 1869 in the parlor of Maurice Reardon’s Hotel, on the northeast corner of Third and C Streets, by a priest who came from Sacramento. The hotel burned in 1890. Father Patrick Scanlon, who commuted from Sacramento, became the first resident priest in Yolo County in 1870. Father Scanlon and other priests offered Mass intermittently for the next several years, primarily in the Yolo schoolhouse in Davis. The First Catholic Church in Davis The first Catholic Church in Davis was built in 1875 on the north-east corner of Third and I Streets. At that time, the Pontifical Annual reported there were 12 Catholic families living in Davis. Father Peter J Kaiser of Woodland was pastor when the Davisville church was constructed. Archbishop Joseph Alemany Dedicates Saint James Church The Diocese of Sacramento would not be created until 1886. The Vicariate of Marysville, established in 1860, included the north-eastern counties of California, all of Nevada, Utah and part of Colorado. Davisville in Yolo County was part of the Archdiocese of San Francisco and as such, on June 10, 1881, Archbishop Joseph Sadoc Alemany of San Francisco dedicated the church in Davisville to the honor of Saint James the Greater as a mission of Holy Rosary parish in Woodland. Mrs. Isaac Chiles, member of the pioneer Chiles family, donated an acre of land for a cemetery.
