46th Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration offers chance to reflect, respect, learn
January 17, 2021
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. On Jan. 15, Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, the Forum on Black Affairs (FOBA) and Penn State World Campus partnered to host the 46th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Celebration, “Project 1972: A Conversation with our Elders.”
Fayette County residents might make some new friends while dropping off their recycling.
Recently, a group of âInksnorksâ traveled all the way from Morgantown, West Virginia, to join the countyâs recycling program. Known as âSnorks,â the colorful creatures are actually inkjet cartridge recycling stations.
Created by Michael and Joanna Fraley, founders of Fraley Publishing Co., Inc.; the Snorks serve as mascots for the reuse and recycle program, and citizens are encouraged to âfeedâ them ink cartridges when dropping off other recyclables at one of the countyâs new haul-all bins.
While some cartridges are able to be refilled and reused, others are sent back to their original manufacturers for recycling, effectively keeping all inkjet cartridges out of area landfills.
The Rev. Howard E. Dantzler Sr. was a man of many accomplishments.
However, as friend Todd Jackson said, the 86-year-old would tell everyone to ignore his many degrees and all the things heâd done throughout his life.
âHe said, âIntroduce me as a child of God,ââ Jackson said. âThere was always that fundamental nature in him to praise God first and foremost.â
Dantzler, who died earlier this month, was remembered for those things by many who lauded his dedication to family, and as a shepherd within his community.
âHe always stressed being a complete man, to use your gray matter,â said son Henry âPatâ Dantzler. âHe was always emphasizing reading great books and being in good physical shape â he stressed all of that to us.â
