Wednesdays are history stories from the Depot days!
We asked what stories you wanted to hear and there was a request for stories about our founders and their early lives. Soooooo, Wendy Oakes fills us in about the Kanes. They are good ones!
Day 12- Novosel Lumber Co. roots
Logging is a huge part of Kane’s foundation and some of you have asked for stories about Kane-based lumber families. Today Judi Cook shares stories of how her Novosel grandparents came to Kane from Croatia and her memories of growing up by the log yard. It’s another inspiring story of courage and grit, a few of the characteristics our amazing town is made of!
Day 11- Summer baseball stories
Summer in Kane equals baseball in Kane for so many of us. Last year the Little League went to the World Series and played international teams! They are on track to do that again this summer having just won the district championship last week. So, we thought we’d focus on a more recent story and hear from some of the players who were at the Little League World Series last year.
Today we talked with Reese Novosel, Carson Whiteman, Harley Morris and Luke Ely about playing senior league baseball this summer and what it was like going to the Little League World Series last summer. Here’s hoping they make new Kane history this summer!

Day 9- Neighborhood crews
One of the awesome things about living in Kane, PA is how close you get with the kids in your neighborhood growing up. After school and all summer- day and night- were spent with the same group of kids, playing outdoor games like spotlight and kick the can. Or just running all around until your parents yelled for you to come inside.
Jillian Stewart Chittester shares stories about growing up in her neighborhood with the “Dirty Pine Crew”❤️
Day 8- Community support in tough times
Penny Barber told a story about how the people in Kane made all the difference for her and her family when her son Chris was in the Pittsburgh Hospital years ago.
