Everyday 

Experience the Joy of Easter Every Day 

By Kathleen McFall 

Like so many of us, I remember the excitement of waking up on Easter 

Sunday with my brother and sister in search of our Easter baskets. We 

knew they would be filled with candy - from jelly beans and marshmallow 

chicks to chocolate bunnies and peanut butter eggs. 

The Easter holiday was fun. We dyed eggs, had egg hunts and enjoyed 

great food (especially the Easter bread, shaped like a basket, waiting for 

each of us at our grandparents’ home). 

Yet, we know Easter is more than sweet treats. 

Easter is the core of Christianity. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus 

three days after he died on the cross. Easter is about forgiveness, grace 

and amazing love. 

We understand there are various types of love - the love of family, close 

friendships, the love in the eyes of a child. Easter, however, is about a love 

that is infinitely so much more. It is about a love that the world would never 

forget. 

John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and 

only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal 

life.” 

The joy of Easter is hope. Each of us has a dream for our life - a loving 

family, a better job, a desire to start a business, or it can be something that, 

right now, seems unattainable. 

Sometimes our everyday life can feel so heavy that celebration is not a 

part of it. 

For Pope Francis, Easter’s joy and hope means “leaving ourselves behind 

and encountering others, being close to those crushed by life’s troubles….” 

Life can feel burdensome and lonely at times. Critical family illness, 

loss of a job, disappointment in a relationship can make it difficult to feel 

particularly joyful. 

As we all are too sadly aware, another tragedy unfolded in our country last 

month at a high school in Parkland, Florida. 

We are parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and, simply, citizens of the 

world who have witnessed, time and time again, the pain, the grief, the 

agony and terror of gun violence that can take place anywhere - in a home, 

on the streets in our neighborhood, mass shootings in our schools, our 

concerts, and, yes, even in our places of worship. 

The world can seem very frightening. 

In the midst of life’s unfortunate and sometimes tragic events, how can we 

cope? 

I believe we need to look to God to strengthen us. We need to share the 

chaos of life with God so that we can finally stop trying to make things 

happen on our own and trust that God is at work, even in our quiet and dark 

times. 

He is our most powerful ally who is with us when the challenges and 

troubles of this world bear down on us. We can overcome our fears, for 

the real power of letting Jesus into our hearts is how free our hearts will 

become. 

There can be joy after sorrow, peace after pain, forgiveness after an 

argument and hope for the days ahead. We can choose to surrender our 

fears, worries and doubts to God. He is our comfort and strength. 

Easter Sunday is Christianity’s most joyous and hopeful day, but it 

shouldn’t be a once-a-year 

celebration. 

Rather, it is meant to be a daily 

reminder that, through our faith 

in Jesus, we each have access 

to His goodness and mercy in 

every ordinary and extraordinary 

moment of our lives. It is the 

basis of our hope. That is where 

the real joy of Easter waits for us. 

Happy Easter!

Bangor Area School District Wellness Committee 

The Bangor Area School District Wellness Committee wants to extend an 

invitation to the families in our school community to participate in the following 

healthy activities throughout the school year. These are programs that the 

faculty eagerly awaits and competes in each year. 

10,000 Steps: April 2nd, 2018- May 2nd, 2018 This is not a team walk 

rather it is an individual walking program where you find the average of your 

daily steps and set a personal goal to increase the steps each day. Strive to 

achieve 10,000 steps a day! To find the average; record your steps for any 3 

days and divide the total by 3 and that will give you an average of steps walked 

per day). I’m sure you can find a way to compete among family members, friend 

groups, or with neighbors. Be creative in the rewards or prizes! 

Look for more information on the Bangor Area School District web page under 

the wellness link or email us at wellness@bangorsd.org.

targeted aggressive driving enforcement wave from March 19 to April 

29, 2018.

the second wave will aim to reduce the number of aggressive driving 

related crashes, injuries and deaths on roadways throughout the State. 

Any aggressive driver stopped by police will receive a citation. 

The enforcement wave will focus on speeding, work zones safety 

violations and keeping right-passing left. Motorists exhibiting other 

unsafe behaviors such as driving too fast for conditions, following too 

closely, or other aggressive actions will also be cited. 

Municipal police agencies that participated in last year’s campaign 

wrote 44,610 aggressive-driving related citations, including 27,017 for 

speeding. Failing to stop for red lights and stop signs resulted in 2,493 

citations. 

Additionally, the enforcement accounted for 33 felony arrests, 94 

fugitives apprehended, 137 impaired driving arrests and 1,203 occupant 

protection citations. 

The aggressive driving enforcement is a part of the Pennsylvania 

Aggressive Driving Enforcement and Education Project and is funded

Easter Skies 

by Robert. Martin 

When winter with its grayish silver hue, 

Of nebulous skies that growled and ruled, 

Waved its scepter and chased the rain 

As it filled the upper limits and laid a claim. 

But Easter with its clean and sacred hands, 

Of prophetic skies and spiritual wonderlands, 

Fresh from its tribute to the glorious ascension, 

Said to move ahead with a peaceful intention. 

As we devoutly follow in its sacred footsteps 

Along its winding paths and flowing rivulets, 

We come to an inner peace as our spirits rise, 

Our selves renewed from the greater Easter skies.

Brunch Made Easy 

(Family Features) Gathering friends and family doesn’t need to be 

fancy. With its prime positioning between breakfast and lunch, brunch 

is a more casual and lighter alternative to the typical dinner party. 

When charged with hosting a mid-day gathering, a little pre-planning 

can go a long way toward ensuring your brunch get-together is as 

simple as it is scrumptious. 

Get creative with decor. When prepping your tablescape, think 

outside the box. Opt for unexpected serving dishes such as tartlet 

tins and vases, and transfer syrups and jams from their everyday 

containers to glass bowls or creamers. Fresh flowers and produce can 

add natural pops of color to the table and a bowl of fruit can make for 

an eye-catching centerpiece. 

Plan a variety of dishes. Make sure you have a mix of both sweet 

and savory dishes on the menu that can please a wide variety of 

palates. Earmarking some recipes that can be made ahead, like 

pastries and casseroles, can be a simple way to avoid waking up extra 

early to prepare. Save the morning of your event for dishes that are 

best served fresh, like this Herbed Spanish Omelet, which features 

potatoes; fresh, spring herbs; and red onions, and packs protein, 

B-vitamins and cancer-protective phytochemicals. 

Serve it buffet-style. Setting your spread out on the counter and 

allowing guests to help themselves not only makes it easier for the 

host to mingle, but it allows guests to customize their meals as they 

wish and gives the gathering a more casual vibe. Try themed stations, 

such as a coffee or mimosa bar, parfait bar or bread bar, in addition to 

more traditional dishes to let guests take the customization to the next 

level.

Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program 

Applications Now Available 

State Senator Lisa M. Boscola today announced that applications for 

the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program are now available online and at 

her local offices.This year’s filing deadline is June 30. 

“This is an excellent program for our seniors and I encourage 

everyone to see if they are eligible for this program,” Boscola said. “The 

rebate check goes a long way in providing assistance to those who 

need it most.” 

Applicants must apply yearly. The rebate amount is based on annual 

income and paid property taxes for each calendar year. Individuals 

eligible for the program include Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; 

widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with permanent 

disabilities over the age of 18. 

In 2008 Boscola voted for the law that more than doubled the income 

limit for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program from $15,000 to 

$35,000. The measure also raised the maximum rebate for homeowners 

and renters from $500 to $650. Applicants can exclude half of their 

income earned from Social Security, Supplemental Security income, and 

Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits when applying for a rebate. 

Boscola has also introduced legislation that would freeze property 

tax rates for seniors, and co-sponsored a bill that would totally shift the 

school funding burden away from property taxes. 

Property Tax/Rent Rebate forms are available on Boscola’s web site at 

www.senatorboscola.com or at one of her local district offices at: One 

East Broad Street, Suite 120 in Bethlehem (610) 868-8667, or 1701 

Washington Blvd. in Easton (610) 250-5627, or the West Catasauqua 

Prof. Office Bldg., 2123 N. 1st Ave., Suite A-4 in Whitehall (610) 

266-2117. Assistance with filling out the Property Tax/Rent Rebate 

applications is available through one of Senator Boscola’s offices. There 

are also events held at local senior centers and libraries to assist those 

wishing to complete a rebate form. Please contact our offices for more 

information.

ADOPT US: AMBER & MADRE 

AMBER JOY is a joy to behold! This 

gorgeous girl was surrendered when 

her beloved mommy fell on hard times. 

But rather than curl up and feel sorry 

for herself, Amber Joy has spent her 

time at the shelter meeting new people 

and cats, and she is enjoying every 

minute of it. Amber Joy’s outgoing 

nature makes her the perfect addition 

to any home with kids, cats or a 

combination of both. Just one look into 

those glowing green eyes and you’ll be 

smitten. Amber Joy is just 3 years old, spayed, fully vaccinated, 

microchipped and ready to fill your home with her very own brand 

of joy. Come meet her today! 

MADRE is a shrinking violet with a sad story to tell. Found as 

a stray, shelter staff was hopeful when we discovered she had 

a registered microchip. But that hope slowly faded away when 

her owner never responded to repeated calls and messages. No 

matter, we promised sweet Madre we would find her a truly loving 

family who will keep her forever. Could that be you? Sweet but 

shy, Madre seems to like other cats, but on her own terms. Madre 

needs a family willing to give her the time and patience she needs 

to come out of her shell and 

be the loving companion we 

know she can be. Madre is 4 

years old, spayed, up to date 

on vaccinations, microchipped 

and ready for a second chance 

home. Visit her at the shelter 

today! 

The AWSOM Animal Shelter is located at 3129 Godfrey Ridge 

Drive, Stroudsburg, PA 18360. Adoptions hours are 11AM to 4PM, 

7 days a week. Volunteer opportunities are always available. Stop 

in or call 570-421-DOGS for more information. 

The AWSOM Animal Wellness Center is open Monday thru 

Friday for all your basic veterinary needs. Check out our low-cost 

veterinary services, including spay and neutering, vaccinations, 

dental care and more. Call 570-424-1060 for more information or
