Governor Tom Wolf today announced funding for environmental restoration projects focused on economic development or community revitalization at abandoned mine land (AML) locations across Pennsylvania. This year, $25 million will be made available for reclamation projects with economic development components.
These newly approved projects will bring economic opportunity and activity to Pennsylvania, and eliminate dangerous environmental scars left over from Pennsylvanias mining history, said Gov. Wolf. Removing the dangerous hazards from these sites also removes barriers to productive use. These sites will become hiking trails, farm fields, and solar farms a new future for sites still marred from past use.
The 2020 Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) Program (formerly known as the AML Pilot Program) will provide an additional $25 million of U.S. Treasury funds for Pennsylvanias AML program. First authorized by Congress under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-94) the funds are to be used to accelerate the remediation of AML sites with economic and community development end uses. This is the fifth year Pennsylvania has received funding from the AMLER Program.
Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Patrick McDonnell was joined by Department of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to announce the investment at an abandoned mine in Luzerne County today.
This program demonstrates that investments in environmental cleanup can have strong economic benefits to communities, creating new opportunities for recreation, land reuse, and clean energy development, said McDonnell. There has been $130 million invested into projects like these in partnership with local governments, other state agencies and private companies and these investments are paying dividends for the communities and environment of Pennsylvania.
The Federal Office of Surface Mine Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) recently approved the following projects:
Armstrong County:
Forks Church North
Reclamation of two dangerous highwalls at a combined length of 180 linear feet by backfilling the highwalls using the adjacent five acres of mine spoil to eliminate the health and safety hazards. A two-acre refuse pile will also be reclaimed. A DEP-approved alkaline material may be added to the refuse during backfill to neutralize the soil acidity and the reclaimed area will be revegetated. Multiple hazardous abandoned mine structures on the AML site will be demolished and also used in backfilling the highwalls. The project site is surrounded by a 90-lot seasonal, family-friendly campground and once reclaimed will be used for recreational and camping purposes. The primary project partner is the property owner of the AML site and owner of the campground.
Belnap South
Reclamation of a 1,700-foot dangerous highwall by using the adjacent 20-acre spoil area to backfill the highwall and eliminate the health and safety hazards. Once reclaimed the site will be repurposed for agricultural purposes to increase hay production. A DEP-approved alkaline material may be added to the spoil during backfill to neutralize the soil acidity to provide a more suitable pH required for agricultural purposes. Hay production will increase by approximately 42% to provide more local feed for cattle in the area, in turn keeping local beef prices down. The primary project partner is the property owner farming the property adjacent to the AML site.
Clarion County:
Wildcat Run
Reclamation of a 2,500 linear foot dangerous highwall by backfilling with the adjacent 19-acre spoil area to eliminate the health and safety hazards. A seven-acre refuse pile will also be reclaimed. A DEP-approved alkaline material may be added to the refuse during backfill to neutralize the soil acidity and the reclaimed area will be revegetated. The existing AML conditions are adjacent to property owned by the Redbank Valley Trails Association where the association possesses a 100-foot right-of-way for another section of the abandoned rail spur currently being improved and maintained by volunteers as an all-season trail. Portions of the reclaimed AML areas will be repurposed as a multi-use green space to be utilized by visitors of the trail and an existing parking lot is proposed to be resurfaced as part of the AML project to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility guidelines. The primary project partners are Redbank Valley Trails Association and the property owner of the AML site.
Clearfield County:
Thompsontown
Reprocessing approximately 140,000 tons of high British Thermal Unit (BTU) coal refuse from a 10-acre 240,000-ton abandoned coal refuse pile. The high BTU material will be used at a local co-generation facility. The remaining low BTU value refuse will be regraded on site to eliminate the health and safety hazards and to improve the watershed environment. A DEP-approved alkaline material will be added to neutralize acidity and re-establish vegetation. The current condition of the refuse pile is unstable and erodes acidic sediment into Wilson Run causing significant AMD. The watershed improvement will enable a local fishery to expand and improve their current operation that has been negatively impacted by the adjacent acidic refuse pile. The primary project partners are the Thompsontown Cooperative Trout Nursery and the property owner of the AML site.
Elk County:
Tyler Run
Reclamation of five dangerous highwalls, totaling 6,000 linear feet, through backfilling the highwalls with an adjacent 16-acre spoil area will eliminate health and safety hazards and improve the watershed environment. Portions of the proposed reclaimed areas will be repurposed as two public parking areas to enhance visitor access to multi-purpose recreational trails used for public hunting within the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA-DCNR) Moshannon State Forest. The primary project partner is the PA-DCNR.
Indiana County:
State Game Lands 332
Reclamation of two dangerous highwalls, totaling 5,800 linear feet, through backfilling the highwall with the adjacent 79-acres of combined mine spoil and refuse materials to eliminate the health and safety hazards. Once reclaimed the site will be repurposed and added to an adjacent 21-acre area to increase and improve approximately 100 acres of contiguous state game lands. A DEP-approved alkaline material may be added to the spoil during backfill to neutralize the soil acidity and the reclaimed area will be revegetated with native species to support wildlife. State Game Land 332 hosts many visitors from the Greater Pittsburgh Region and the improved 100-acre area will be immediately available for recreational hunting. The 2,500 linear foot construction access road will be repurposed for use by disabled sportspersons. On site acid mine drainage (AMD) will also be addressed with the design and installation of two passive AMD treatment systems. The primary project partners are the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Aultman Watershed Association for Restoring the Environment.
Blacklick Creek AMD Treatment Plant (Indiana and Cambria Counties)
Construction of an active AMD treatment facility will control, divert, and treat three major sources of AMD to improve the watershed environment. Up to a combined 7.2 million gallons per day of AMD from the Commercial No. 16 (Red Mill), Vinton No. 6, and Wehrum mine discharges will be treated and discharged to the Blacklick Creek just west of Vintondale, PA. Benefits of the project include enhancements to accessing the existing Ghost Town Trail, cleanup of 25 miles of stream of the Blacklick to the confluence of Two Lick Creek, and increased opportunities for recreational fishing and boating. Funding for the project will also be provided by the Pennsylvania Capital Budget Act 41 of 2008 and Act 82 of 2010. The primary project partners are the Indiana County Conservation District, Indiana County, Blacklick Creek Watershed Association, Cambria County Conservation District, Cambria County Conservation and Recreation Authority, and the C&I Trail Council.
Luzerne County:
Mocanaqua AML Recreation Access
Reclamation of a 165 linear foot dangerous highwall, a one-acre spoil area, several mining pits, industrial/residential waste, and ten mine openings to eliminate the health and safety hazards. The reclaimed areas will be repurposed for public parking areas to accommodate at least 30 cars for visitors of the state forest and game lands and gravel resurfacing improvements of an existing 2,400 linear foot access road will be performed along with the installation of historic information kiosks. The primary project partners are the PA-DCNR, the Pennsylvania Game Commission, and Earth Conservancy.
Audenried Coal to Solar Phase 1
Reclamation of 185 acres of AML comprised of mine refuse, mining pits, multiple hazardous abandoned mine structures, and approximately 2.5 million yards of mine spoil to eliminate the health and safety hazards. The reclaimed area will be repurposed by Teichos Energy, LLC. to accommodate construction of their first of two phases of a utility scale solar photovoltaic facility. A future, Phase 2 project is planned to reclaim similar AML features covering an additional 125 acres and restoration of stream segments of Hunky Dory Creek. Once the second phase is completed, Teichos Energy estimates that the facility will support 150-300 fulltime jobs directly related to the solar construction and 6-8 permanent jobs related to facility operations and maintenance of the solar panels. The primary project partners are Teichos Energy, LLC, and the property owner of the AML site.
D&L Trail Wilkes-Barre Mountain Phase 2
Reclamation of a nearby abandoned mine opening through installing a bat friendly gate and backfilling pits situated immediately adjacent to the D&L Trail by utilizing onsite and borrowed material will eliminate the health and safety hazards. A 2.3-mile trail will be constructed and traverse through the Pinchot State Forest along an abandoned railroad bed and would begin where the existing Wilkes-Barre Mountain Section (Phase 1) trail ends about one mile from the PA-DCNRs Seven Tubs Recreation Area and would end near Laurel Run Park on East Northampton Street, Wilkes-Barre. The primary project partners are North Branch Land Trust and the PA-DCNR.
Schuylkill County:
Coal Castle Revitalization
A high priority water-filled pit, an 11-acre abandoned refuse pile and a 43-acre spoil area will be regraded on site to eliminate health and safety hazards. A DEP-approved alkaline material will be added to neutralize acidity and re-establish vegetation. The reclaimed areas will be regraded and compacted to suit the property owners plans to build an approximate 10,000 square foot campground office and welcome center and additional camping facilities. The proposed facilities will attract hundreds of visitors of Famous Reading Outdoors, offering an extreme, off-road trail riding experience. Temporary construction jobs will be created through construction of the facility and upon completion of the project an estimated 10-20 full and parttime jobs will be created. The primary project partners are Famous Reading Outdoors, the property owner of the AML site, and New Castle Township.
Washington County:
Muse
Reclamation of a five-acre abandoned refuse pile by regrading the pile on site to eliminate the health and safety hazards. A DEP-approved alkaline amendment will be added to neutralize acidity and re-establish vegetation. Additionally, four hazardous abandoned mine structures will be demolished and buried onsite. The regrading will allow the property owner to develop a storage facility business that will support the surrounding community, which is heavily populated with many housing developments. The primary project partner is the property owner of the AML site.
Walkertown
Reclamation and regrade of a seven-acre abandoned refuse pile on site and restoration of a two-tenths mile clogged stream segment of Little Pike Run to eliminate health and safety hazards. Refuse material will be moved away from the stream and will be regraded on site into a stable configuration. A DEP-approved alkaline material may be added to the refuse during backfill to neutralize the soil acidity and the reclaimed area will be revegetated. Once the area is revegetated, the property owner intends to divide the parcel and donate three to four acres to West Pike Run Township for recreational green space to be maintained by the Township. The site access road installed during reclamation will be converted into a walking path. The primary project partner is the property owner of the AML site and West Pike Run Township.

Baton Rouge Symphony finally returns to the River Center Theatre with a packed spring season

Consider it like couch surfing. Except at each new place, youre unpacking 18 violins, 23 wood instruments, a harp, a piano and all manner of drums and percussion instruments.
The Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra has been hopping from various venues and churches for its performances over the last three years. The nearly 50 musicians have played everywhere but the orchestras home venue at the River Center Performing Arts Theatre, which closed for a massive renovation in 2018. Were over being a vagabond orchestra, says the symphonys executive director, Eric Marshall.
There were talks of a return to the theater at the beginning of 2021, then fall 2021, but supply chain issues and Hurricane Ida delayed construction and a reopening until this year. Now, BRSO takes the stage Jan. 27 with Andrew Grams conducting the orchestra alongside guest violinist Richard Lin. The show, initially scheduled to be the orchestras first performance back inside the updated River Center space, was recently moved down the street to First Baptist Church, 529 Convention St. The next performance on Feb. 12 will hopefully see the group return to the River Center.
While the phrase return to normalcy might be overused at this point, its especially true for the 75-year-old symphony, which had already been going through years of changes before the pandemic began.
Marshall took the helm as executive director in fall 2019, just as the organization was righting itself from financial struggles that had put it on the edge of extinction, he later told 225. Earlier in 2019, its longtime music director and conductor Timothy Muffitt announced his retirement. While the board began the search for a new conductor, the orchestra was set to finish its season in spring 2020 with a gala sendoff honoring Muffitts contributions.
Then, well, we all know what happened. The symphony was forced to cancel much of its spring season and delay Muffitts farewell concert multiple times. Its musicians took to social media for mini virtual concerts since they couldnt perform together in person.
As soon as it was able to, the symphony gathered for performances in area religious institutions like First Baptist Church and St. Joseph Cathedral.
It helps that we are incredibly low tech, Marshall says. We dont need to turn on a full sound system for you to hear the orchestra. As long as there are lights and a stage, were ready.
At these shows, patrons constantly approached Marshall and the symphony staff with questions about the status of the River Center Theatre.
Weve been fortunate that weve had these churches that have kind of taken us in. And we were fortunate that we had a resilient crew of musicians that were willing to work with us and figure out a path forward, Marshall says.
The River Center Theatres $16.2 million renovation includes a shiny new exterior; a larger lobby; central aisles to break up the 1,800-seat theater; and new box seats.
But Marshall explains the spaces already excellent acoustics wont be altered, though new wiring and fabric panels will accommodate a variety of other shows.
And while the symphony will still get out into the public for some performances, Marshall says the downtown venue provides an unrivaled experience for the musicians and attendees alike.
Now it can be more of a social experience, besides just the music, he says. You can go downtown, have dinner and get a drink before the concerts. Theres more mingling, especially with that big lobby. I think that will be really exciting for everyone.
And with a slate of several performances in the River Center Theatre this spring, there are plenty of chances to see the symphony in action. The season includes visits from three guest conductors while the symphony continues its search for a new music director. Its big gala in February features Grammy-winning pianist Emanuel Ax, who has performed and recorded with the likes of Yo-Yo Ma.
Closing out the season? That much-anticipated and much-delayed farewell to former music director and current music director laureate Timothy Muffitt, who will conduct the orchestra in a performance of Beethovens Symphony No. 9.
Its a fitting choice, as Beethovens final complete symphony.
This article was originally published in the January 2022 issue of 225 magazine. It has been updated to include new information about performance locations.

Alessandro Bruno
Teaneck - BRUNO, Alessandro, age 98, of Teaneck, NJ passed away on Saturday, January 22, 2022.
Beloved husband of (the late) Antonietta. Devoted father of Anthony Bruno and his wife Donna T., Basil Bruno and his wife Linda, and his daughter, Matilda Bruno. Loving grandfather of Antonietta, Alessandro, Cassandra, Antonia and Giulia. He is survived by many cherished nephews and nieces in the United States and Italy.
Alessandro is a Veteran of the Italian Army during World War II. He began his career as a stone mason artisan from an early age, following in the footsteps of his father, Antonio. He was always very proud of his work on many churches throughout Italy. He initially came to the U.S. in 1955 to work and finally immigrated, with his wife and son (Anthony), to the United States in 1962. He continued his artisanal work here for others and then finally started his own business in 1970 called The Bruno Construction Corporation. He prided himself on his craftsmanship and was well known for his impeccable work throughout the Northern New Jersey area, especially Teaneck. He was a member of the Teaneck Knights of Columbus and was a longtime parishioner of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Bogota, NJ.
Since his retirement in 1989, Alessandro spent most of his time helping his children with their various businesses, continuing other masonary projects and enjoying wood work crafting. Of course, he loved making bottled home-made tomato sauce and spending time with his adored grandchildren.
Friends and family are invited to visit on Tuesday from 4-8PM at Volk Leber Funeral Home, 789 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, NJ. Services from the funeral home on Wednesday at 9AM and then to St. Joseph RCC in Bogota for a 10AM Mass of Christian Burial. Entombment to follow at Washington Memorial Park, Paramus, NJ.

Working feverishly inside a fenced construction site at Long Beach on Jan. 15, a group of volunteers from St. James Church was determined to fend off the surprise arrival of Saturday morning showers with shovels, pipe wrenches, and paintbrushes.
Due to the pandemic, it had been nearly two years since volunteers from the Redondo Beach parish could join the Catholic Coalition team at the ongoing building site with the Habitat for Humanitys Greater Los Angeles chapter. Theyve been as anxious to finish up the 10 two-story Craftsman-style homes by the spring as the families have been after several years of applying, qualifying, and often having to re-apply because of delays. Just two blocks away, an empty lot awaits another 36 houses to go up.
The pandemic amplified the perils of job loss, mortgage struggles, and chronic homelessness in the region. Those focused on resolving Southern Californias continuing housing crisis cite the availability of affordable homes as a critical component to turn the tide.
For the last eight years, the Catholic Coalition has been hammering that home as well.

Catholics from parishes in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles have spearheaded local volunteer opportunities with Habitat for Humanity since the nonprofit started in 1976 and the Greater LA Chapter launched in 1990. Volunteers from St. Monica Church in Santa Monica also went to New Orleans in 2007 to help with Hurricane Katrina recovery.
The idea of combining financial, labor, and strategic resources in 2014 led more than two dozen churches, schools, and service organizations teaming up in the Our Lady of the Angels, San Fernando and San Pedro Pastoral Regions.
Retired St. James pastor Father Jim Kavanagh eventually broached the subject to Archbishop Jos H. Gomez, who endorsed the idea, having worked with Habitat for Humanity during his time in San Antonio.
Christine Gerety, the associate director of outreach and pastoral care at St. Monica, and co-chair of the Catholic Coalition, said they could measure success simply by the 36 houses already built, but were in constant discussion in our Zoom meetings we know we can be more successful. The only tragedy is we arent able to do more with the great need.
Habitat for Humanity estimated that some 60% to 70% of the families approved for Habitat homes in Southern California are Catholic. The coalition encourages Catholic parishes in underserved areas to support a parish family applying for a Habitat home, explained co-chair Carol Sanborn.
Think about how some Catholic parishes have schools closing and the community is absorbed by commercial business, said Sanborn. If those parishes were guided to having families own their homes and invest in the community, its win-win for everyone.
Volunteers from American Martyrs Church in Manhattan Beach and St. Cornelius Church in Long Beach have been back to the site in recent months, while others from the Catholic Coalition are lining up again.
The two sites located in the Washington District neighborhood of Long Beach under construction need $1.5 million more in funding. The Catholic Coalition is in the process of raising more than a third of that.
Holding the banner is partner family Logan Chavez, Valdemar Chavez III, mom Cynthia Evangelista and father Valdemar Chavez Jr.Left to right: David Palos, Matt Olivet, Moises Perez (kneeling), Andrea Fowler, Jim Whelehan, Yolanda Nunez, David McIntyre, Ana Alamaraz-McIntyre, Tom Miller, John Bauer, Louise Ramirez, Deacon Mark Ramirez, Chris Untiet and Belen Giron. (Barry Smith/Habitat for Humanity Catholic Coalition)
The neighborhood serves the Catholic parishes of Holy Innocents Church, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, St. Anthony Church and St. Lucy Church. A Catholic Charities office across the street from the site handles outreach to the homeless, and has set up temporary shelter on the sidewalks around the Habitat site.
Long Beach natives Valdemar Chavez Jr. and Cynthia Evangelista, and their two children, Valdemar III, 12, and Logan, 10, are recipients of the first completed home at this site, expected to be finished in June. They came Saturday morning to express their thanks to the St. James volunteers.
We thank God we are getting to live in this house, and know it is getting built with love, said Evangelista.
For Gerety, the work is rooted in the Christian imperative to love ones neighbor as oneself.
Its critical to who we are. Jesus was a carpenter. What better way to do something in his image?

Construction vs. environment difficult to reconcile
Ms. Ludtkes Your Turn column on Jan. 15 touched on a subject very close to the heart of many communities on the Cape. We are all agreed that there is a great need for affordable housing up and down the Cape. At the same time, we are anxious to preserve the character of our townships, and protect our fragile spit of sand from overbuilding.
How do we reconcile our need for housing with our wish to preserve the environment? Here in Wellfleet, the town owns nine acres of land, six of which are offered to a developer for affordable housing. This is a very worthy undertaking, and on paper it looks like an ideal solution. However, it involves stripping six acres of woodland and replacing it with the development of 46 housing units, asphalt, street lighting and traffic.
Are we overburdening our environment? Are we adding pollutants to the air, water, land? As I see it, it would be healthier to find or build smaller dwellings that will not impact our free spaces, because once they are gone, they are gone forever. I totally agree with Ms. Ludtke that we have an obligation to avoid the destruction of our heritage.
Edina Kopits, Wellfleet
Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha of the Catholic Diocese of Fall River may have overstepped his authority in silencing the Rev. Michael Fitzpatrick of St. Francis Xavier Parish in Hyannis for his criticism of COVID-19 vaccines, (Anti-vaccine priest in Hyannis is censured by the Catholic bishop of Fall River, Jan. 13).
It is beyond the competence of any Catholic prelate to determine the "efficacy" of a medical treatment. As for its moral legitimacy, although Pope Francis has urged Catholics to accept the vaccine, the same Vatican document that states that vaccine reception is morally licit, insists that vaccination must be voluntary.
This indicates, clearly, that those who have medical or ethical reservations about the vaccine such as Catholics concerned about the use of fetal cell lines in vaccine production or testing must not be coerced.
Nor does the Pope's endorsement of the vaccine nullify traditional Catholic teaching about the exercise of a properly formed conscience.
The Catholic Church expects faithful Catholics to defend the sanctity of innocent human life in an often hostile public square. One would think that the hierarchy would be accommodating to the conscientious concerns of such Catholics.
Sadly, this is not the case. When it comes to relations between the Catholic people and the Catholic bishops, loyalty, it would seem, is a one-way street.
C. J. Doyle, executive director, Catholic Action League of Massachusetts
In Sundays paper, there was a long article explaining all the reasons why businesses cant get workers.Nowhere in the entire article was the fact mentioned that over 800,000 Americans have died from COVID.I wonder why not.Are reporters cautioned to not relate those numbers?
True, a large number of those dead were older, retired folks, but surely several hundred thousand were workers who will never be returning to the job market.And, as long as folks dont take the sensible precautions of getting vaccinated and wearing masks, this number is going to continue to climb.

About seven years ago a real estate developer knocked on Lucy Fromowitzs door on Keewatin Avenue to see if she and her husband would be willing to sell their home of more than 25 years. No, we plan to die here, she said her husband replied. Then they put a number down and he said, I could die elsewhere.
Such is the way in growing cities, and the couple was launched into a house-hunt. It had been decades since they had last bought a home in Toronto. They were attracted to Summerhill, the high-end retail area known affectionately as the Five Thieves, and all the charms of life south of St. Clair. The houses we would look at, we found they were exceptionally narrow; these 14- or 15-foot lots that often had no parking. And it was a bit overwhelming having come from a larger home, she said.
After yet another disappointing showing, she spotted an Open House sign and pulled over to look at the converted church at 11 Woodlawn Ave. She wasnt looking for a condominium, but right away there were things that made this one stand out.
It presented more like the kind of home we were comfortable with it had a front-door entrance from the street, so we werent having to deal with elevators, and unlike her old home there was indoor parking so no more shovelling snow. Inside, it was full of light, but also quiet and generously proportioned compared to the row houses theyd been looking at. There were only six units in the building, and they didnt come on the market that often.
The building had been converted to residential use in 1990, and after 30 years, there were some mechanical upgrades that needed doing. When Ms. Fromowitz moved in she tore out and upgraded the builder-original bathroom in the primary ensuite. Then, in recent years pretty much a full renovation kicked off, starting in the kitchen, the other bathrooms and included replacing some of the windows.
The kitchen is anchored by an island with bar seating and sink.Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Johnston & Daniel Division
The unit is around the corner of the building. A pathway runs along the lane, separated by a fence; No. 4 is the last door on the right.
The entrance opens into a large space thats currently set up as a formal dining room, but has enough connection to the rest of the fairly open main level it could be configured as a living room or even an office. Light-blond wide-plank hardwood covers the floor throughout the two-level apartment but there are no windows in this front area, divided as it is from the kitchen and living room by a large structural pillar and an HVAC bulkhead.
On the left is a two-piece powder room (with a very large window facing the laneway) and between the bathroom and the stairs leading upstairs is a utility closet with an electrical panel with a door to the furnace (also accessible from the living room).
Straight ahead are some large windows looking onto the rear deck, and as you step into this space the living room is on the left and the kitchen is on the right. One thing youll notice with the windows in the original structure is how deep the wells are, thanks to that sturdy church construction.
Large windows bring natural light to the large open-concept kitchen and living room area.Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Johnston & Daniel Division
The kitchen is anchored by an island with bar seating and sink (countertop slab of Calcutta granite flows over the side in the style thats become quite popular on renovation shows). Walking past a pantry wall with wall-mounted ovens takes you to the induction range on top of a deep counter with a geometric tile backsplash with pot-filler faucet. The fridge is in the back corner next to the frosted glass door to the solarium (which also houses the laundry) thats basically a greenhouse with glass walls and ceiling.
We have a small table and chairs and we have our coffee there every morning the sun just pours in, Ms. Fromowitz said. The deck is wrapped around this sun room, just below it is the entrance to the parking garage at the rear of the building.
Back inside, the living room has a gas fireplace on the exterior wall and the room soars upward to the second level and a ceiling with five narrow skylights cut into it pours light into the space. The stairs to the second level are also open to this room. The stairs, and the second level, is another feature that convinced Ms. Fromowitz she could downsize to a condo. Ive been married for 36 years, and a set of stairs can make for a good marriage, she says, arguing the flexibility to put a little distance between your partner can be helpful whether youre entertaining colleagues, watching different movies or just need some quiet time with a book.

From the second level landing the two bedrooms branch off left and right. On the right is the guest bedroom which is about 14 by 10 feet with a double closet and a window that looks into the laneway. The three-piece ensuite (with large glass-walled shower) also has a surprisingly large window in need of a little privacy screening.
The primary bedroom is almost 20 by 12 feet, with a bank of windows with the same view as the deck. A walk-in closet at the back is just past the updated ensuite with floor-to ceiling marble tile, stand-alone tub and huge walk-in shower. Theres room for a double vanity, but the couple opted for an elegant single with chrome fittings (theres towel and toiletries storage in a built-in cabinet behind the door).
A terrace extends living space outdoors.Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Johnston & Daniel Division
The couple wanted this neighbourhood when they moved, and now theyre so woven into it its hard to imagine leaving the area and their neighbours behind.
That funny laneway entrance into our units means you meet each other on that, and you stop and chat and its a really strong community. We even do some of the [common area] gardening together, Ms. Fromowitz said.
You walk around the corner youre on Yonge Street within one block, Ive got my physiotherapist, hair salon, my optometrist. From Woodlawn, youre a couple blocks from that huge park system [the Yellow Creek ravine and Park Drive Reservation Lands that connects to the Don Valleys Beltline trail], and you can walk all the way to Brickworks. Its a neighbourhood you dont need a car in.
Five narrow skylights cut into the ceiling and pours light into the space.Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Johnston & Daniel Division
The push to leave it behind is another offer she cant refuse: retirement. Ms. Fromowitzs work as vice-provost, students at York University has meant shes rarely had more than two weeks at a time to travel, and the couple has hopes to take off and explore with an even lighter footprint at home.
I went through cancer a couple years ago, and it makes you rethink the type of life you want, she said. I have worked non-stop for 42 years and I have this notion of living that care-free life and just enjoy things Worst case scenario, I find out care-free is an illusion.
