Bangor Police Department 

Bangor Police Department has been 1 of the 60 Pennsylvania Municipal 

Police Departments selected to participate in the 

2016 Child Passenger Safety Enforcement Mobilization Grant. 

Bangor, PA – As part of the National Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week, 

which runs from September 18 through 24, the Bangor Police Department, 

Buckle Up PA, and the PA Traffic Injury Prevention Project today announced they 

will partner in an enforcement mobilization to help reduce child injuries and 

fatalities. 

The mobilization will take place from September 18 through 30, 2016, and 

will also highlight National Seat Check Saturday September 24. 

Vehicle crashes continue to be the leading cause of death for children. 

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration every 33 

seconds, one child under 13 is involved in a crash. On average in 2014, nearly 

two children under 13 years old were killed and 308 were injured every day as 

passengers in car crashes. Theses crashes are a leading cause of death for 

children in the United States. 

Motorists are reminded that Pennsylvania’s primary seat-belt law requires 

drivers and passengers under 18 years of age to buckle up, and children under 

the age of 4 must be properly restrained in an approved child safety seat. 

Children ages 4 to 8 must be restrained in an appropriate booster seat. A new 

law that went into effect August 2016 requires a child under 2 years of age be 

securely fastened in a rear-facing child passenger restraint system, which is to 

be used until the child outgrows the maximum weight and limits designated by 

the manufacturer. In addition, children ages 8 to 18 must be wearing a seat belt 

when riding anywhere in the vehicle. Also, drivers and front-seat passengers 

18 years-old or older are required to buckle up. If motorists are stopped for a 

traffic violation and are not wearing their seat belt, they can receive a second 

ticket and second fine. 

Bangor Police will join other departments and highway safety partners across 

the state to provide child passenger safety information, presentations, provide 

fitting stations and, if necessary, write citations. Police will also us Traffic 

Enforcement Zones, which combine enforcement patrol and checkpoint tactics 

on roadways with high numbers of unbuckled crashes. Citations will be issued 

to motorists who are caught transporting unrestrained children. For more 

information on seat belt safety, visit www.penndot.gov/safety. 

Child Safety Seat Inspection Station for zip code 18013, is located at Bangor 

Police Department 30 North 1st Street, Bangor, PA. Serving the county of 

Northampton; hours are by appointment, contact Officer Hunsicker at 610-599- 

3338.

Eagle Scout Elect Builds Homes for Bluebirds at 

Environmental Education Center 

Plainfield Twp., Pa., – The Bluebirds, 

Tree Swallows and House 

Wren’s all have new homes at 

the Grand Central Environmental 

Education Center thanks to one 

Eagle Scout Elect Daniel Pfeiffer is 

one hard working boy scout from 

Troop 33 in Pen Argyl. He began 

working with the Grand Central 

Landfill habitat team in March 

and recently completed his eagle 

scout project with the team. Daniel 

worked with the habitat team to 

develop 30 new Bluebird boxes for 

the Education Center’s property. 

In addition, he constructed three 

new American Kestrel Boxes. Daniel and his troop erected the boxes around the 

property in the Spring and the new boxes yielded great nesting results for the 

2016 nest box project. 

“I wanted to do a project that would benefit the community and when I 

learned about the nest box project that Waste Management was doing; I instantly 

knew it was a project for me,” said Daniel. 

The Grand Central Environmental Education Center has been working with 

Troop 33 since 2006 on various habitat projects. These projects have led to five 

boy scouts earning Eagle Scout status. 

“We are very lucky to have such great community partners and scout troops 

that want to get involved in our habitat project,” said Landfill Manager Scott 

Perin. 

“Their guidance and willingness to support the project has provided the project 

with new insight and resources for the community,” continued Perin. 

Although Daniel has a few more merit badges to earn before officially receiving 

his Eagle Scout Badge, Daniel has completed his project ahead of schedule. 

“We are very proud of the scouts that work with us and thankful for their help. 

It’s great to see them learn something from the habitat as well,” said Community 

Relations Manager Adrienne Fors. 

The Grand Central Environmental Education Center is open to the public to 

hike and enjoy and holds several educational programs throughout the year. 

Other Eagle Scout projects that have been completed include a bird blind, an 

outdoor learning kiosk, bird box project and pollinator garden. 

The community can learn more about the Grand Central Environmental Education 

Center via their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/grandcentralenvironmentaleducationcenter

Nazareth Area Garden Club 14th Annual Flower 

and Garden Show 

The Nazareth Area Garden Club celebrated its 14th Flower and Garden Show 

at the Schoeneck Moravian Church Fellowship Hall this month. The Theme this 

year was “Gardening…Dig it!” 

Members displayed more than 200 Houseplants and horticulture specimens, 

and 43 Floral Arrangements. All entries were judged by non-member experts 

in horticulture and floral arranging. In addition to individual categories, they 

awarded Best in Show to the entries deemed to be the best in their category, 

and Sweepstakes Awards, for the most first places by an individual member, in 

each category. 

This year’s winners were: 

Arrangements: Best of Show, Sandee Rinehart, runner up Phoebe Cubberly 

Sweepstakes: a tie between Sandee Rinehart and Debbie DeSousa 

Horticulture: Best of Show, Evanne Maher, runner up Sandee Rinehart 

Sweepstakes: Evanne Maher 

Houseplants: Best of Show, Connie Sabatine, runner up Bob Sparrow 

Sweepstakes: A tie between Debbie DeSousa and Bob Sparrow 

Also, in the Floral Arrangement category, special trophies are awarded to Novice 

and Intermediate designers for one specific design. This year's awards went 

to Julie Anderson and Mimzy Schaller for their "Toadily Green" entries. Cathy 

Gordon and Carol Miller were runners up. 

This year we grew two Club Project plants, a Basil called “Purple Ruffles” and 

a beautiful annual Lantana called “Camera.” The winner of both was Kathy 

Juran. Loretta Rhyder took second place for the Basil and Julie Anderson for 

the Lantana. 

The small window box category brought 18 entries. The Judges selected 

Mimzy Schaller for the blue ribbon and the Audience selected the same entry 

as their favorite. An additional special project was a 5" hanging terrarium called 

Dew Drops. The winner of that category was Phoebe Cubberly. Evanne Maher 

was runner up for both.

November at the Drylands UCC Church at 4415 Newburg Rd., Nazareth at 7:00

Tips For Your Wedding Day 

1. Guest List - 

Set an approximate number of guests you plan to invite before settling on a venue. 

You will want to secure a venue that has ample space to comfortably accommodate 

your guests. Rule of thumb is 25 to 30 square feet per guest. You must 

take into consideration space for tables, bustling a band or DJ and a dance floor. 

2. Trim the Guest List 

The easiest way to trim your wedding budget is to cut down on your guest list. A 

big portion of your wedding expenses goes toward the reception. Cut your wedding 

costs by cutting down your guest list. Check and double check to see if there is 

anyone you can omit from the guest list. 

3. Stress Less 

Take It One Step at a time by putting together a simple wedding plan. Do things 

one by one in a logical planning order. Choose your date, next find and secure 

a venue. Then start booking your florist, caterer, photographer, and band, Don't 

forget the dress!

Founder/Director along with a group of volunteer young artists spend countless hours working on the mural. 

Two of the men who worked in the quarry are portrayed in the mural, Andrew Polo and Larry Altorfer, whom both 

attended the dedication. The Hoist was 

manufactured by S. Flory Maufacturing 

Co. in Bangor in the early 1900’s, it 

was used in the Jackson Slate Quarry 

in Pen Argyl, it is 116 years old. It now 

resides at it’s new home in Bethel Park 

in Bangor thanks to project leader and 

historian Mike Piersa and the Slate Belt 

Heritage Center.

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY 

By Jackie Talero-Rueda, The Crunchy Mom 

I’ve written briefly about Magnesium in the past 

and how it’s important for a healthy immune system. 

Magnesium is needed for that and so much more. 

This mineral is used by every organ in your body 

including your heart, muscles, and kidneys. Most Magnesium is stored 

in your bones and organs and about 1% is found in the blood. This 

makes it nearly impossible to know if you are deficient by getting 

blood work done. "Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical 

reactions in your body. It affects everything from your heartbeat to 

your muscles to your hormones. Studies have shown that only about 

25% of U.S. adults are at or above the recommended daily amount 

of 310 to 320 milligrams for women and 400 to 420 for men," says 

Dr. Danine Fruge, Associate Medical Director at the Pritikin Longevity 

Center in Miami, Florida. Magnesium is also found in more than 

300 different enzymes in your body and plays a role in your body's 

detoxification processes, making it important for helping to prevent 

damage from environmental chemicals, heavy metals, and other 

toxins. Early signs of Magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, 

headaches, nausea, fatigue, and weakness. An ongoing Magnesium 

deficiency can lead to more serious symptoms, including: numbness 

and tingling, muscle cramps, seizures, personality changes, abnormal 

heart rhythms and coronary spasms (mercola.com). If you suffer 

from leg cramps, insomnia, anxiety, high blood pressure, fatigue, and 

migraine headaches like me, you could very likely have a Magnesium 

deficiency. Since at least 75% of the population is deficient it is 

even more likely that you are part of that statistic. My migraines 

decreased a lot after my doctor told me to take high dose Magnesium 

oxide that was intended for constipation. Were my headaches due 

to the constipation or due to Magnesium deficiency? Or maybe the 

Magnesium relaxes and allows my body to do it’s job. Or maybe the 

detoxing effect helped. I am not sure but either way the Magnesium 

improved my health. There are different types of Magnesium one 

can take. Magnesium oxide and Magnesium citrate have a laxative 

effect when taken in higher quantities. Magnesium oxide is used in 

many colon cleansing products. Magnesium Glycinate is a chelated 

form of Magnesium that usually provides better absorption and 

bioavailability and is typically considered ideal for those who are 

trying to correct a deficiency. Magnesium Threonate is an excellent 

Magnesium for brain health as it is said to reach and cross the blood 

brain barrier. Magnesium can also be absorbed through the skin by 

using Magnesium oil, cream, or salt baths like epsom salt. Whatever 

type of Magnesium you choose please remember to consult with your 

physician first for appropriate dosing and type of Magnesium. Do your 

research as there are many more types of Magnesiums that I didn’t 

cover and you or your loved one could also 

benefit from.

St. Luke’s Open House at New Bartonsville Hospital 

Bartonsville, PA – Monroe County residents were finally able to see for themselves 

what Better Health Care looks like at St. Luke’s open house at the new St. Luke’s 

Monroe Campus. 

The open house took 

place Saturday September 

17 and Sunday September 

18; both days were filled 

with health screenings 

and activities for the 

entire family. 

St. Luke’s Monroe Campus officially opens next month and will be the first new 

hospital in Monroe County in 100 years. It is conveniently located just off Route 611, 

with close proximity to Route 33 and I-80. 

Guests who attended the open house received a first look at the hospital on the 

inside to see its state-of-the-art operating rooms, large and efficient emergency 

department, radiology facilities featuring advanced technologies from GE Healthcare, 

and private, beautifully appointed private patient rooms. 

They also were able to meet staff and health experts, and take advantage of free 

tests, including DXA heel scans, a baseline test for osteoporosis, cholesterol testing, 

blood pressure checks, balance screenings, grip strength testing, body composition 

analysis, physical therapy consultations, and memory and fall screenings. 

Visitors were also able to tour emergency transport vehicles, including PennStar 

flight and meet St. Luke’s aeromedical team. 

They were also able to take an “interactive spin” and experience the dangers 

of texting and driving virtually. Representatives from AT&T were on hand to help 

community members take the “It Can Wait” Pledge, a commitment to not text while 

driving. Representatives were also on hand to show the latest line of fitness trackers 

and Samsung phones. 

St. Luke’s Rodale Institute Organic Farm offered samples of delicious foods made 

with the late summer harvest from the St. Luke’s Rodale Farm, which is located at 

the St. Luke’s Anderson Campus in Bethlehem Township. The fresh, healthy produce 

from the farm is used throughout the St. Luke’s network for visitors, employees and 

patients to enjoy. Members of the Kinsley’s ShopRite team were also on site to offer 

guests samples of fresh produce and salads. 

St. Luke’s pediatricians and staff from Monroe County and Wind Gap were on hand 

to greet families and check children’s height and weight. There were also arts and 

craft stations for the kids. 

Yoga instructor Val Klass demonstrated chair yoga and explained how yoga can 

help ease stress, improve mental focus and help with relaxation. 

Pocono Snake and Animal Farm brought an array of resident reptiles, and representatives 

from Pocono TreeVentures demonstrated the company’s SAFE LINK Smart 

Safety System. 

Live entertainment was provided by Stroudsburg songwriter and vocalist Regina 

Sayles on Saturday and by former “The Voice” contestant Christian Porter on Sunday. 

Both artists were available for photos and autographs during the event. 

Prince of Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church & East Bangor 

United Methodist Community to Present “Bridges of Hope” 

Prince of Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church and East Bangor United Methodist 

Community Church will be presenting “Bridges of Hope,” on Thursday, October 

6th, at 7:00 p.m. at Prince of Peace Church in Johnsonville. 

Bridges of Hope is a new program developed by the FaithNet Advisory Board 

of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and is designed to promote a 

deeper awareness of mental health issues within faith communities. 

This presentation is being offered for all religious beliefs. It also recognizes 

the expression by the majority of those affected by mental illness of the 

importance of the role of their spirituality in their ability to cope with having 

one of these illnesses themselves or in caring for an ill friend or family member. 

Individuals, family members, and representatives of all faith communities 

are invited to participate. This free program will be facilitated by Rev. Michael 

Scholtes and Rev. Dave Goss. The presentation will last approximately one hour 

and be followed by a time of refreshments and fellowship. The church is located 

at 2445 Lake Minsi Drive, Bangor, PA. For more information, contact Rev. Dave 

Goss at 610-588-4453.

kitty condo, snoozing the day

Kate Moretti – The Vanishing Game 

By Kerri Tollinger 

A funny thing happened on Facebook. I entered 

a contest and won The Vanishing Year by Kate 

Moretti. I was instructed to give my name and 

address for the author to mail me my book. When 

she replied that we were “neighbors”, I knew that 

I wanted to let all my other “neighbors” in the 

area know about this New York Times Best Selling 

Author who was living in our backyard. 

Moretti grew up in Martins Creek, which is the 

setting for her character’s getaway home in her 

newest novel The Vanishing Year, which is due to 

be released on September 27th, 2016. Little clues 

here and there capture the charm of the little town nestled on Route 611. 

Moretti started her writing career while she was on maternity leave in 2010. 

She claims to have had the most perfect baby who did nothing but sleep and 

she was bored. No, this is not part of her fiction. Moretti said she always wanted 

to write, and made a goal to just finish her book. She did, and had it published. 

Thought I Knew You made it onto Bookbub.com and screamed to #2 on the 

Amazon book list, and then eventually made it onto the New York Times Best 

Sellers list. 

Moretti’s books include: Thought I Knew You (2012), Binds That Tie (2014), 

While You Were Gone (2015) and The Vanishing Year (2016). The Vanishing Year 

is a suspenseful novel that is set in New York City centered on a woman with 

a sketchy past who is living a dream life, or is she? The Vanishing Year can be 

found at Moravian Book Store, Barnes and Noble and Amazon on September 

27th, 2016. A Release Party is planned at Moravian Book Store on October 

7th, 2016. Pre ordering books would be the best idea, to insure that there are 

enough books. More information is available at Moretti’s Facebook site: Kate 

Moretti – Author, and on her website, www.katemoretti.com.

The Vegetable Garden 

Pull out old vines and vegetable plants. Insect pests that feed on these plants 

during summer and fall often lay eggs on old plants. If vines are left on the 

soil surface, insect eggs will survive the winter and hatch in spring. If they are 

not diseased, you can work the old plants back into the garden soil. This adds 

organic matter to the soil and destroys insects and their eggs. You can use 

well-rotted manure, compost, peat or leaves to add to the soil in the fall. Rototill 

all these materials into the soil, mixing well to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. You’ll 

want to leave one part of the garden intact. The area where you’ve planted root 

crops can be mulched instead of dug up and worked. These simple tips will help 

in preparing your vegetable garden for the off-season.

24 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 

Tea and Biscuits 

by Lee O'Donovan 

Please Stand Up For The National 

Anthem! 

I sit on a wet plank of metal called a 'bleacher' with my 

wife and other parents watching our children perform 

on the field. The kids are wearing black, green and 

white uniforms. Some play musical instruments, others 

are clutching poles with flags attached. We all wait for the weekly high school 

football game to begin. My daughter is in the "silks" (My wife's term for the 

flag-wavers in a marching band). The marching band, silks and cheerleaders 

are part of the expected pomp and ceremony presented at football games. 

This cultural phenomenon amazes, and befuddles me. Apparently, in America, 

a sporting event requires more than just the two competing teams, in America 

a sporting event includes cheerleaders, a marching band, a group that waves 

flags in a pre-arranged pattern, and folks dressed in costumes representing 

animals,(mascots). 

In Britain, we go to a sporting event to watch... ..the sport. There are no 

cheerleaders, bands playing brass instruments and drums marching across the 

field, no waving flags, no teams of girls flying in the air performing terrifying 

looking stunts and pyramids! 

A British game is about the sport, and American games are about the pomp! 

When I first watched an Iron Pigs baseball game I was bemused (puzzled) by 

the people dressed as cuts of meat chasing each other around the pitch,(field) 

and the weird looking creature riding the quad bike was downright ridiculous! 

However, after a season of attending all the games of our local high school 

football and feeling a swell of pride in seeing my daughter march around waving 

her flag, I think I get it. 

I do applaud and appreciate the time and effort that the football players and 

cheerleaders put into their performance. I am invested more in the marching 

band and silks because my daughter is a silk. I make no excuses for my being a 

proud father! 

My daughter does this so that she can stand on a field and represent her 

school full of pride and I can't express enough how proud of her I am. The game 

that I go to is about two competing teams playing football, but for me, the pomp 

that surrounds the game is what makes this event American and fun! 

When I go to a game and stand for the National Anthem I do so out of 

respect for the country and because I respect the effort that America puts into 

celebrating its sports. 

God Bless America!

Find Your Way 

Touchdown 

by Robert L Martin 

One last drive is all we got 

When our battle ends, so well we fought 

We arose from volcanoes through all the cracks 

Strewing fire like swarming maniacs 

How dare you put yourself in our path? 

Those who do will suffer from our wrath 

We can move together through molten walls 

Hearts pounding with marauding rally calls 

Our downhill ride is the two minute drill 

Moving straight ahead while time stands still 

With runs and passes, we move the chains 

Trepidation sinks in while power reigns 

They saw us coming, their confidence quivered 

They fell down, our final blow was delivered 

A play action pass clogged up the middle 

We ran a post pattern, we solved the riddle 

Football is not easy 

We play to win 

But they do too

PEN ARGYL AREA HIGH SCHOOL 

ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES 

MR. WALTER COLE (Coach 1975-2013) 

Walter Cole has been a fixture in the Pen Argyl Area School District and surrounding 

community for over 40 years. His dedication to the sport of tennis and 

his community is second to none. He graduated from Bangor Area High School 

in 1964, then earned a bachelor’s degree from East Stroudsburg State College 

in 1968, and a Master’s degree in History in 1972, also at East Stroudsburg 

State College. 

In 1975, Walt started the girl’s tennis program at Pen Argyl Area High School, 

where he was also a Social Studies Teacher. He coached the girls until 2013, 

dedicating 38 years to his program. He also coached the boy’s tennis team from 

2002-2007. He coached his girls to the Colonial League Finals three times. 

His best girl’s seasons included a 2000 Colonial League Championship with 

a record of 22 wins and 1 loss. That year the team was also in the District XI 

Team Finals. In 2003, Walt once again coached a team to the District XI Team 

Finals. His 2002 Boy’s team went 17-2 in the regular season and went on to the 

Colonial League Team Finals. 

Walter is a 5 time Colonial League Girls Coach of the Year, named Express 

Times Girls Coach of the Year in 2000, and 2003 United State Tennis Association

League Girls and Boys JV tournaments and ran them for 5 years. He also 

started the District XI Boys and Girls Tennis Scholar Athlete Awards and Banquet 

and has been its chairman for 17 years. 

His dedication was not only found in his love for the sport of tennis. From 

1968-2008, Walter taught social studies at Pen Argyl High School. From 1969- 

2008, he was the director of the Pen Argyl High School Jazz Band. In 1998, he 

received the Pen Argyl High School Educator of the Year Award and in 2012 he 

received the Friends of Education Award from the Pen Argyl Education Association. 

Walter is still very involved in the slate belt community. He is a member of the 

board of trustees of the Slate Belt Heritage Center and runs a local history club 

at Pen Argyl High School. He is the president of the Weona Park Pool Pals and is 

the Choir director at Grace United Methodist Church. Walter and his wife, Mary 

Lou, reside in Pen Argyl where they raised 2 sons, Christopher and Daniel, and 

are the proud grandparents to 5 grandchildren.
