New Methodist Minister: The new people living in the parsonage at the Perryopolis United Methodist Church are Pastor David Means and Mrs. Doris Means. Pastor Means grew up in Ralph, Pa., later lived in Fellsburg, Pa. and then in Kentucky, and now comes to us from the West Newton UM Church.

Doris Dash Means is from Monongahela. Mrs. Means teaches French in the Ringgold School District. Pastor David started his career as a United States Marine and then went on to work in the coal mines at Maple Creek.

When he received his call to the ministry, the Means’ moved to Kentucky in 1989 where he attended Asbury College. They later returned to Pennsylvania where Pastor David attended the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He served in Donora for four years before being appointed to the West Newton UM Church. Pastor and Mrs. Means have one son, David Dash Means, age 24. David lives in the Butler area and works as a copy editor for the Butler Eagle Newspaper.

Pastor and Mrs. Means like to walk, so be sure to say “hi” to them (and Bonjour! to Mrs. Means) when you meet them on the streets of Perryopolis.

Family Reunion: The Berklovich (originally Brkljačić) family held their first annual family reunion on August 3 at Sampey Park. Over 200 members of the extended family attended. Cousin Marcia Hayes was the organizer of the event with help from her sisters, Mary and Michelle (Winn). Cousin Chuck Fry was in charge of playing a DVD of old family photos, calling Bingo numbers, and keeping the group informed of events around the pavilion. A good time was had by all, and everyone went home stuffed with ham, chicken, holipki, cake, and cookies.

If you are related to the Berklovich clan, please call Marcia at 724-736-0136 to make sure you get invited next year.


The Frazier Cross Country Team would like to recognize the accomplishments of senior Rebecca Leonard. Rebecca is an Honor Student at Frazier High School who ranks near the top of her class. Rebecca's hard work and dedication to running paid off with an overall first place finish at the Dawson Grange Country Classic 3.5 mile race, which she won with a time of 29 minutes. Recently Rebecca participated in the Fayette County Relay for Life held at Laurel Highlands High School to help raise funds for cancer research. Rebecca is also very active in 4-H. This year her market goat won Reserve Champion at the Fayette County Fair. Congratulations Rebecca!


Class Picnic: The Frazier Class of 1965 will hold a picnic at St. Nick’s pavilion on September 6, 2008, beginning at noon. Mr. Don Mains, former junior high teacher and coach at Frazier will attend.

Last year’s picnic was the Class of 65’s 60th birthday party and they voted to have a picnic every year instead of a formal sit down reunion every five years. Ruthie (your Perryopolis.com new reported) and the picnic organizers will send out a newsletter as soon as they remember how, but many of the class addresses have been lost due to the 911 changes. Members of the class of ‘65 are reminded to mark their calendars and spread the word to other classmates.

The class also has a checking account and donations for the rent of the pavilion are being accepted. Many thanks to Mary Ann Rosul Koltash for her assistance.

Help our troops call home by donating any old cell phone to “Cell Phones for Soldiers.” This project recycles old cell phones and gives them to our men and women in the armed services over seas. To check out this worthy cause, go to their website at www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com. There are postage-free mailers on the church bulletin board that you may use to send in your old phone. The mailer can hold two phones, so ask your neighbor to donate their old cell phone to the cause.

Beware the Bear: Jim Newmeyer, Frazier class of 1965, reports that a black bear is roaming around Cemetery Road on the side near Virgin Run.
