For Central Bucks South head track coach Jason Gable and his peers, it was a matter of just being there. “The amount of work the coaches put into this was huge,” noted Gable. “It was just great to be out there again for a meet. Everyone was happy to have a com- petition. “The coaches ran the show and a lot of their work went unnoticed. It was a good day.” Central Bucks South served as host for the North Track Penn Invitational meet April 11, as the Knights’ stadium and field has been undergoing reno- vations. Central Bucks West and Central Bucks East were the only local teams that competed. Gable highlighted the efforts of senior Tom Wood, who won the shot put with a mark of 49-2 and quali- fied for districts. Other district qualifiers were sophomore Aiden Car- ey, who had a mark of 6-2 in the high jump, and senior Liam Loynd, who had a time of 1:59.48 in the 800 for a fourth-place finish. Brett Musselman’s and Zander Marks’ defense proved too much for “That was huge for us,” said Gable. “Aiden Carey CB West as the Quakertown Panthers won in three straight sets. did a great job.

Doylestown couple meet for Sunday brunch again Freda R. Savana

Since moving to a retirement community nine years ago, Bill and Lola Fuller have enjoyed Sun- day brunch together, sipping or- ange juice and dining on eggs and bacon. As it did so many things, COVID-19 interrupted that ritual. But with pandemic restrictions easing, the long-married, and now vaccinated Doylestown couple met once again in their Wesley En- hanced Living dining room. It was a very happy reunion. “After a year of spending time with each other through socially distant visits and video calls, it was so uplifting to see Bill and Lola to Lola and Bill Fuller once again enjoy their brunch at Wesley En- once again carry on their tradition hanced Living in Doylestown.

Carversville landmark gets a restoration The Carversville Inn was founded in 1855 by Isaac Stover as a country inn to serve the needs of travelers and guests of the community. For generations, The Carversville Inn adapted to economic times in meaningful ways to ensure the vitality of the business while preserving the integrity of the structures themselves. Alpha Genesis Design Build, the Design-Build firm for this project, understands the significance of preserving the cherished history of The Carversville Inn. “Father time is not always kind to buildings and sometimes reality forces action. The need for major restoration is visibly apparent all over the property and we intend to give The Carversville Inn a second chance at life. Through a thoughtful and proactive design approach we have developed a comprehensive plan to save the Inn while enhancing the warm and inviting atmosphere everyone has come to enjoy,” says Patrick Pastella, CEO of Alpha Genesis Design Build, LLC. The old fireplaces will be resurrected, the bar is to be expanded, and hotel guest rooms will be elegantly appointed with fine finishes. Most importantly steps are being taken to bring the property into building code compliance as well as ADA accessibility. Hundreds of members of the community have demonstrated their support for this project and understand the need for restoration. As specialists in complex projects, Alpha Genesis is committed to the project goals and will continue to leverage their firm’s expertise to enhance and revitalize The Carversville Inn.

Serving the Bucks County Community Since 1955 Starting as a roadside produce market in 1955, Bountiful Acres was originally owned by the Jamison family who also built Peddler’s Village. The Flack family acquired the property in 1983 and began transforming it into the full-service garden center and landscaping service that it is today. Paul and Rita Flack operated Bountiful Acres with their family while their son David pursued a degree in horticulture at Penn State University. Upon their retirement in 2007, they turned over the business to David who continues to oversee the operations and the expanding vision with his wife Christine. Many of the staff have also become part of the “family” with a tenure of more than 20 years. Additionally, we have multiple generations of staff members, so to them Bountiful Acres is truly family! As we have expanded, including now growing our own trees locally on a 100-acre farm just down the road from the garden center, we have kept true to our Bucks County roots to provide excellent service to our customers and the community.
