The holiday started with the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, founded in Punxsutawney, Pa., in 1887.

When German immigrants arrived in Pennsylvania, they found a large number of groundhogs. The Advance/SILive.com also will be there to cover all the action.

Gwyneth Ann Wilson, 65 (Block Island Times)

Gwyneth Ann Wilson, 65, of Block Island, R.I. and Milwaukee, Wis., passed away unexpectedly on November 15, 2022. She was a beloved mother, daughter, ...

They’ll enjoy long days at Scotch Beach full of body surfing, reading, and napping, with lunches consisting of roast beef and provolone on rye (with lots of onions, mayo, and a little crunch of beach sand) from the B.I. the night before (which she of course delivered). They’ll go on early morning “sinker” donut runs, hunt for the best clamming spots, throw shells on the cottage driveway, sneak down private roads (because “the rich people don’t own this place”), and perhaps most crucially, they’ll be taught their grandmother’s finely honed technique for heckling daytripping moped riders. She loved planning a last-minute trip for the three of them, be it out of state or just to a local hotel (as long as they had a swimming pool). Thirteen years ago, during a battle with stage 4 cancer (a battle she won handily), she began hunting the beaches on the island for sea glass as a form of therapy. She loved to tickle an audience with tales (some taller than others) from her eventful life. Gwyn was a no-frills kind of person, most comfortable hanging out in a hoodie and jeans and watching a Jane Austen movie. She had the ability to pack up everything she owned at the drop of a hat to move somewhere new and exciting or to be closer to one of her children. Gwyn was born on February 27, 1957 to her parents, Donald and Julie (McKeon) Wilson in Summit, New Jersey. She met her best friends for life, Bob and Mark, through volleyball and always wished she could have played long beyond the time her feet and knees decided it was time to quit. She was a beloved mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, who left behind her son Michael Price (and wife Kenda), her daughter Sara Price (and partner Zach), her dog Fozzie Bear, and the newest member of the family, Nala-Nala the cat. In the late 70s, she headed to the Midwest for a brief 25-year stop-over in Illinois and Wisconsin, but her heart was always on the East Coast.

One 1953 newspaper article commented on improved accessibility with, “There is a lot of empty land on Block Island, much of it picturesque and now within brief flying time of eastern urban centers.” Suddenly the prospect of a summer cottage on Block Island did not seem so remote. One reporter, lamenting on the change, wrote, “Until fairly recently, the little station on the knoll overlooking the sea supplied weather information regularly, directly and by mailing list, to a wide variety of addresses. One reporter wrote of the unintended consequence with, “For the past 46 years the Block Island weather observation station has dispensed prophecy and storm warnings from a square, two-story building sited commandingly on a high knoll on Beach Avenue overlooking the sea, a structure now doomed to lose all For months, residents visited the site to watch the massive machines and an army of men shape the new facility. In his remarks the governor called the new airport facility one of the finest small airports on the Atlantic seaboard and reiterated the modern features of the facility, including the sonic ear. Andrew Catholic Church and the benediction by the pastor of the First Baptist Church, Rev. Road for decades, but even in the peak of summer this would only have averaged four flights a day. On July 15, 1950, over 500 people gathered at the Block Island State Airport for the arrival of the Governor’s flight at 2:30 p.m. This was more than a simple airstrip, as this represented the completion of Phase One of a $4 million statewide bond effort to remake Rhode Island for the “Air Age.” Thus, this airstrip, and the dedication by the governor, who arrived by aircraft of course, was much bigger than just Block Island. The bountifulness of the 1950s still had that new car smell, which included the exciting concept that While today the concept of a machine being given instructions and carrying out an assigned task independently of human involvement is mundane, for any small American town circa 1950, with less than 1,000 people, this was a radical concept one only read about in such comics as “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.” The “Air Age” arrived in the Ocean State when Rhode Island Governor John

It is a religion of Revelation, Incarnation, and Communion.” The end of education at Wyoming Catholic College is not escape from the corrupt contemporary world or the achievement of a purity that increasingly excludes others, but rather the cultural incarnation of the Word in our own time and our own history. [Stinglehammer](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Stinglehammer), is a photograph of Skellig Michael taken in 2018. The Imaginative Conservative applies the principle of appreciation to the discussion of culture and politics—we approach dialogue with magnanimity rather than with mere civility. As Artt’s “revelations” become more and more monstrous, he gradually destroys both the haven he came to found and the community of complementary souls that had temporarily flickered into existence. For those engaged in a truly Catholic education, Christopher Dawson has a beautiful reminder in The Formation of Christendom. He insists that they must never leave the island for exchanges of any kind, and then he forces the reluctant Trian to spend his days painstakingly copying the Psalms by hand—an absurd task if no will ever see these copied Psalms (Trian’s work) or the Old Testament in Greek (Artt’s daily work). Fiercely legalistic, increasingly irrational in his disregard of the naturally given goodness of the island, harshly opposed to both creativity and ordinary prudence, Artt indulges notions that he claims are God’s will. On the 21-day trip that began the school year, each of them spent a day entirely alone, and some of the best reflections that they wrote came out of this experience—their day on Skellig Michael, so to speak.
