A Good Friend of the Library
Michael A. Tabery, of
Saylorsburg, went home to be with his Lord on Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012, at
home after a courageous battle with cancer.
He
was the beloved husband of Pamela (Page); the caring father of his
sons, James and his wife, Dawn-Marie, of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Jeff
and his wife, Colleen, of Oreland; the doting grandfather of Jeff and
Colleen's daughter, Paige; the loving brother of Lois Maxfield of
Columbus, Ohio; brother-in-law of Edward and Sue Page; and uncle to his
nieces, Zoe Seth, Ellen Maxfield, and Sue Boyko; and many loving
friends.
Born Dec. 26, 1947, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and
raised in Columbus, Ohio, he was the son of the late Stanley and Alice
(McEneany) Tabery.
He met his wife while they were both attending Ohio State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in zoology.
As
a fishery biologist in the 1970s, Mike first worked for the government,
studying shad migration on the Delaware River and then worked for Texas
Instruments and Ecological Analysts, studying the effects on striped
bass by power plants on the Hudson River.
In
1976, when he became a Christian, he gave up the environmental work and
became a construction worker. In 1982, he became a corrections officer,
then a treatment officer and eventually the deputy warden of treatment
at Monroe County Correctional Facility, where he oversaw work-release,
medical and mental health, education, and religious programs.
When
he retired in 2003, Mike became the first director of the Ex-offender
Re-Entry Program of Monroe County Inc. By training mentors for
ex-offenders and providing support to both groups, the ex-offenders were
given the needed tools to reenter society and reduced the recidivism
rate. He retired from this position in 2011 to spend more time
travelling with his wife, enjoying his granddaughter, hunting, fishing
and helping others.
Mike always tried to help
those in need and brighten people's lives through his positive, caring,
loving and kind personality and his ever-ready humor.
He
was an elder, deacon and Sunday School teacher at Middle Smithfield
Presbyterian Church. As moderator of the deacons, he would coordinate
funeral meals, Thanksgiving and Christmas family meals and gifts, Sunday
meals for the homeless, Red Cross blood drives, and regularly visited
the sick and shut-ins.
As a West End Rotarian
Sergeant at Arms, he helped to raise money for cancer, the Salvation
Army and wheelchairs for the West End Fair, and was named West End
Rotarian of the Year. He was on the Quiet Valley board of directors for
many years and was officer of the Varsity S, where he faithfully worked
the food stand to raise money for Stroudsburg High School's athletic
program. He was also a member of Blue Ridge Fire Company and Cub Pack
leader for Troop 84, where he worked tirelessly to raise money for those
programs, as well.
Family and friends are
welcomed to offer their condolences from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept.
27, at William H. Clark Funeral Home, 1003 Main St., Stroudsburg. A
second visitation will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 28, at
Middle Smithfield Presbyterian Church, 5205 Milford Road, East
Stroudsburg. The funeral service will begin at 11 a.m. Friday at the
church, with the Rev. Jeffrey Brower officiating. Burial will follow at
Middle Smithfield Presbyterian Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial remembrances may be made to Re-Entry Program of Monroe

returned to the Stroudsburg area to practice law, and was still
practicing law at the time of his death. He was Monroe County's first
assistant district attorney, a past president of the Monroe County Bar
Association and the Optimist Club, and served on many boards of local
organizations.
Dan enjoyed playing golf at
courses around the world, and was a member of Great Bear Country Club.
Dan and Marianne also enjoyed their winter home in Venice, Florida, with
their large group of "snowbird" friends. They traveled widely, together

brother, Thomas Higgins and his wife, Joan, of Montclair, New Jersey;

his brothers, Paul and William Higgins; his sister, Mary (Higgins)
Flynn; and his brothers-in-law, Albert Flynn and Gerald Salmon.
There
will be a viewing from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24, at William H. Clark
Funeral Home, 1003 Main St., Stroudsburg. A Mass of Christian Burial
will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 25, at St. Matthew's Roman
Catholic Church, 200 Brodhead Ave., East Stroudsburg, with Monsignor
John A. Bergamo as the celebrant. Private burial will be the following
day at St. Catherine's Cemetery in Moscow.

Pennsylvania Population
New population projections
produced by the Pennsylvania State Data Center reveal that the Keystone State’s
2010 Census population of 12.7
million is projected to grow to 14.1 million by the year 2040. This
represents a growth rate of 11.3
percent or the addition of more than 1.4 million residents
over the thirty year period.
The
projections also suggest that the age makeup of Pennsylvania’s population will,
on average, continue to grow older over the next three decades. The largest
percentage increases will be seen in the 5-year age cohorts over age 65. Click here
to read more about the projections in the PaSDC's latest Research Brief.
Population
Projections were completed for the years 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035 and 2040
for the Commonwealth and its 67 counties. These projections were developed by
five-year age cohorts and gender. Data

County Population Estimates Released by Census Bureau
Cumberland
County is Pennsylvania’s fastest-growing since 2010
The U.S.
Census Bureau reported today on where the heaviest population growth in
Pennsylvania was concentrated last year. Cumberland County, in central

2013. The population of Cumberland County rose 2.5 percent over the period. Chester
County followed with a 2.1
percent gain since 2010. Lancaster County (2.0 percent percent)
ranked third in terms of percent population increase, followed by Clinton and
Philadelphia counties, which each grew at 1.8 percent during the period.
With
respect to numerical growth, Philadelphia County added 27,159 people between
2010 and 2013, more than any other county in the state. It was followed by
Montgomery County, which grew by 12,503
people, Chester (10,342),
Lancaster (10,152)
and Allegheny (8,179)
rounded out the top five.

These newspaper articles by Dr. Appel cover a wide range oflocal
activities and events. There is
no index and the table of contents
is very long; the article titles are also long. To help
researchers to save time when looking
for a specific subject, this "demi-index"sorts
the articles by major subject categories and gives a short label,
leaving to the individual to read enough of the article to check for usefulness. We hope this will make the collection more helpful. For history buffs, the articles
are interesting and often fun, and give an insight
into the activities and interests ofMomoe
County people over the years.
