The Baltimore student who was accepted into all eight Ivy League schools has made his decision.
“Harvard College Class of 2022!!” Mekhi Johnson posted to Facebook on May 1, college decision day. Johnson, a senior at the Gilman School, is one of just a handful of students across the nation to be accepted into all eight of the elite institutions. He’s been working toward that accomplishment since he was 6 years old, when he first heard a story on the radio about a boy who had gotten in to all of the Ivies. “Even at 6, he was pretty serious and goal-oriented,” his mother, Tawana Thomas Johnson, previously said. “He kept this idea in front of him through all those years.” Johnson said he found out about his slew of acceptances while out to dinner with his mother at Red Lobster. He checked his admissions status at each school in quick succession: Yale, in. Columbia, in. Cornell, in. And then finally, Harvard. “As soon as I saw I got into Harvard, my mom started screaming,” the 17-year-old Baltimore student told The Baltimore Sun in March. “She started yelling, ‘My son just got into Harvard,’ and everyone in the restaurant started clapping.” Johnson hopes to study political science and eventually attend law school. He has attended Gilman since first grade, with a near-perfect GPA. He edits the school’s yearbook and literary magazine, plays in the jazz band and drum line and works on musical theater. He sings with the Gilman a capella choir, serves as Diversity Council president and is a National Merit Scholarship Program commended student. Johnson also volunteers with a group that serves elementary school students from low-income neighborhoods. Helping Bangor Library.....

Book review
"Give Me Tomorrow: The Korean War’s Greatest Untold Story (The Epic Stand of the Marines of George Company)"
book by Patrick O’Donnell, review by Katy Albanese
Americans are captivated by stories of WWII in the 1940s and Vietnam in the 1960s and 1970s. Many forget about the three year conflict in Korea in the
1950s. This book follows the hasty formation of George Company in August 1950 through November of that year. Two hundred raw recruits with little or no military experience were sent to Korea after just three weeks of training. They fought in some of the most heated battles of the war, the landing at Inchon, the
liberation of Seoul and the horrific fight at Chosin Resevoir.
This book recounts the bravery of these men who faced unbelievable odds, fighting in sub-zero temperatures, with little hope of making it out of Korea alive. They fought without sufficient clothing, without enough weapons and without the understanding of the generals of what was really happening on the ground.
Yet still they fought and didn’t back down, even though none should have made it out alive.
I gained a new respect for these men, many of whom gave their lives, who faced such difficult circumstances but still prevailed. Almost 68 years have passed since these events took place but we can still learn what heroism and bravery is from reading these pages.
Ride for Relief
Ride for Relief is a motorcycle charity run organized by Pastor Chris and members of the First United Methodist Church that will take place on Saturday, July 14th. The ride will be a 50+ mile tour of the scenic Slate Belt region, beginning and ending at the First United Methodist Church. The ride is raising money for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), and all funds will be allocated for United States disaster relief.
Registration completed prior to June 15th will be discounted at a rate of $25 per rider and $15 per passenger. Registrations after June 15th will be $30 per rider and $20 per passenger. Every registration includes the ride, food, and a T-shirt.
On the day of the event, registration begins at 10:00 am with coffee, cold beverages, and pastries. After a brief message and prayer by Pastor Chris the ride will begin promptly at 11:00. Riders should be returning to the church at approximately 1:00 pm where hot dogs, walking tacos, nachos, cookies and cold beverages will be served. We’ll enjoy good food and live Christian music. Door prizes will be awarded and T-Shirts will be available for sale.
We hope you’ll join us for our inaugural Ride for Relief motorcycle charity run as we enjoy the beauty of the Slate Belt, motorcycles and each other.
Registration forms can be found online at www.firstumcbangor.com/rideforrelief.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - May 7
The Scream recovered 1994
On May 7, 1994, Norway’s most famous painting, “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, was recovered almost three months after it was stolen from a museum in Oslo. Thefragile painting was recovered undamaged at a hotel in Asgardstrand, about 40 miles south of Oslo, police said.
The iconic 1893 painting of a waiflike figure on a bridge was stolen in only 50 seconds during a break-in on February 12, the opening day of the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. Two thieves broke through a window of the National Gallery, cut a wire holding the painting to the wall and left a note reading “Thousand thanks for the bad security!”
A few days after the theft, a Norwegian anti-abortion group said it could have the painting returned if Norwegian television showed an anti-abortion film. The claim turned out to be false. The government also received a $1 million ransom demand on March 3, but refused to pay it due to a lack of proof that the demand was genuine.

Music Monday at Dansbury Depot
This week’s featured musician will be Chris London. Chris will entertain us with a collection of songs that we all know and love. His guitar playing and his voice are a wonderful blend. Chris will be singing solo tonight but he also plays with the band, Friar’s Point. Chris is a well-known entertainer in the Poconos and the Lehigh Valley. A free will offering will be taken on behalf of the musician.
Tonight we welcome Pat Munz as our resident artist. Since she was a small child, she has been drawing and painting as a hobby. She dreamed to be an artist when she grew up, but her artistic style didn’t agree with the pop and abstract art of the 1970s. Pat graduated from college with a degree in Accounting, unable to take a single art class. She spent seven years as an auditor for an international oil and gas company, then joined the FBI as a Special Agent. After twenty-two years with the FBI in Anchorage, Alaska, She decided to retire and pursue art full time. She is self-taught, and paints in both oil and acrylics. Pat paints a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, animals, people (but not portraits), and old, historic buildings, often painting from photographs she has taken or by friends, and family on trips all over the US and Alaska. She is also an avid quilter, donating many quilts for charity auctions and fundraisers. As a result of conducting genealogy research on her family's ancestors, she has become interested in designing quilts of family crests and coat-of-arms, which she does on a commission basis. Pat currently lives in Shawnee on Delaware, PA, in a house built circa 1850, and she is enjoying the beautiful scenery and history that Pennsylvania has to offer, for her latest paintings and quilts. Also shareing her talents with us is Ginny Soldano.

Music Monday at Dansbury Depot
The duo Woodrow, based in Bushkill, PA, performs a variety of familiar classic rock, folk, and country tunes featuring songs from artists such as Fleetwood Mac, The Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, Janis Joplin, Merle Haggard, and more. They can be seen at various local wineries, brew pubs, tasting rooms, small bars and coffee houses as well as larger outdoor festivals. They can also frequently be found supporting their local community and arts scene by performing at community festivals, art shows, and non-profit events. Guitarist and vocalist Brian Bramkamp's spacey-blues leads are inspired by greats
such as Jerry Garcia, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, and David Gilmore. Brian also writes the music and lyrics for all of the original tunes on Woodrow's upcoming album “Way Out in the Weeds”. Vocalist Theresa Ratliff takes the lead on most of Woodrow's cover tunes and originals. Theresa's vocal career started in musical theater at the age of 11 (although her mother will tell you she popped out singing!), but her passion has always been Rock and Blues. She takes her inspiration from strong female vocalists like Janis Joplin, Grace Potter, and Stevie Nicks and who fearlessly broke into the “boy's club” of
rock's lead singers. Woodrow also performs regularly with the Juggernaut String Band, with Brian on guitar and vocals and Theresa on vocals, ukulele, and percussion. The Juggernaut String Band performs a wide variety of music including covers of classic rock, folk, bluegrass, country songs, parade and sing-along songs, as well as original music.
Bill Graff is our featured artist. Bill was originally born and resided in N.J. I moved to the Pocono region in 1989 and have lived here ever since. He feels the picturesque scenery of the Pocono Mountains gives him inspiration for my art work. He is self-taught and his wildlife pictures are just beautiful. He recently retired and plans on devoting his time to his art work. He also enjoys painting on different materials such as antique saws, driftwood and anything that catches his eye while walking through yard sales or walking with nature in the mountains. He feels blessed to have this talent and immensely enjoys painting.

Music Monday at Dansbury Depot
Alex Allegra enjoys connecting with people through her music. She performs regularly, entertaining audiences with her original songs as well as select Country classics and Country Pop favorites. No stranger to the stage, Alex Allegra got her start studying acting, dance and vocal performance for more than a decade while participating in a number of local theater programs and audition-only choral groups. About 5 years ago, she combined some lyrics with one of the melodies she created, and her first song, Put Aside My Flaws, came to life. This new-found passion led to a breakthrough opportunity in the summer of 2015, when she was selected to attend the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp for aspiring singer-songwriters in Interlochen, Michigan. While there, she was featured in two public concerts, performing her first original as well as a song she wrote at camp. In August 2016, she launched her first music video featuring her song, Sayin' Goodbye, and in October of that same year, she released a demo CD, "My Journey," that features 7 of her originals. In the fall of 2017, Alex Allegra headed to Nashville to continue her music studies at Belmont University. You can learn more about Alex Allegra at www.alexallegramusic.com.

Music Monday at Dansbury Depot
Doc Pappalardo was suckled by Pennsylvania Dutch wolves and rescued by itinerant Sicilian Stone-cutters who settled on the banks of the Delaware River. Doc was raised up there in the wilds of Shawnee-on- Delaware, home to a ridiculous number of famous people, including Jackie Gleason and Mr. Green Jeans, whose bass still travels with the band. Doc fondly remembers listening to the Grand Old Opry on his Grandmother’s gigantic Philco radio in his formative days, when everybody else was listening to do-wop and top forty hits. Multi-instrumentalists, The Renegade Ramblers are a loose tribe of musicians who delight in playing blues and traditional and original bluegrass music, with brief raids into Irish and Americana music.
Tonight we welcome David Sandt, Photographer, of Star Mountain Studio, as our featured artist! David's pictures are a visual testament to the beauty of the Poconos and near-by regions. Dave has charmed many visitors with his shows and many beautiful pictures hang in a multitude of houses and businesses throughout the area. Dave will be showing and selling his beautiful pieces of art inside the depot.
