Rotary News Guest Speaker Aria Magaro
Emporium Rotary Club
4
Rotarian Ryan Magaro recently introduced his daughter, Aria Magaro, a ninth grader, as his guest speaker. Aria is well-known to our club, having recently won our 4-Way Test Speech Contest.
During her presentation, Aria discussed her years of involvement with CCOYA. Her journey began a few years ago when she won an essay contest, which earned her and her father a week-long stay at the Bighorn Sheep Camp in Wyoming. Since then, her extensive volunteer work at conservation events led to an opportunity to assist at the Eastern Chapter of the Wild Sheep Expo recently held in Lancaster.
We are also proud to share that Aria won the 2026 Townsend National Conservation Award for her consistent dedication to environmental efforts. Her passion for nature continues to drive her toward new and exciting achievements.
Thank you, Aria, for your commitment to preserving our forests and waterways.
Time to Spring Ahead this Weekend!

Sylvia J. Barber
Sylvia J. Barber, 64, of Emporium, PA, passed away at Penn Highlands DuBois, DuBois, PA, on Sunday morning, March 1, 2026.
She was born July 25, 1961, in Ridgway, PA, a daughter of the late Millard and Grace E. Frederick Williams. She was married to the late Frederick Barber.
Sylvia was a graduate of Cameron County High School, Class of 1979, and furthered her education at Triangle Tech, where she studied nursing. She dedicated many years of compassionate service as a nurse aide at Guy and Mary Felt Manor and also worked as a private duty nurse. Caring for others was not just her profession, but a calling that reflected her gentle and giving heart.
She found joy in life’s simple pleasures like tending to her flowers, visitinga lighthouses, and vacationing at the beach where she spent countless peaceful hours searching for seashells. Above all, Sylvia treasured the time she spent with her family, especially her grandchildren, who brought immense happiness to her life.
Sylvia is survived by her son, William Foley (Leigh) of Guys Mills, PA; two grandchildren, Jordan and Nevaeh; three sisters, Diane M. Williams of Emporium, Brenda K. Williams of Emporium, and Carol A. Lentz (Gene) of Keating Summit.
In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by a brother, David M. Williams.
There will be no visitation. Services will be held privately at the convenience of the family. Burial will be in Portage Township Cemetery, Gardeau, PA.
Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of the donor’s choice.
