From The Editor’s Desk. Joe Korba I couldn’t be more proud to be part of this community. In the three or so years that I’ve helmed this publication I’ve witnessed so many acts of kindness, charity events, and have had the opportunity to share, in some small way, the joy of proud family members and neighbors announcing births, engagements, and anniversaries. Part of our mission here at the Gazette is to try to give back to the communities that support our paper and keep us going by holding benefits and collecting donations of everything from nonperishable food for the Food Bank to pet supplies for local rescues.

With summer rapidly winding down and the days of sitting behind school busses on my morning commute not far off, I’m happy to announce that our 2nd Annual ‘Blue Mountain Blowout’ to benefit the Northern Lehigh Food Bank will be held in our office parking lot off 248 on September 8th. Last year’s event was a big success and I hope to make this year even bigger and better (There are still vendor spots open for $10 – give me a call at 610-767-9600 to reserve space!).

There are a bunch of other events coming up soon. Our neighbors at Reiss Cycle are selling tickets for the annual “Ride for Adam” (story on page 30) an August 17th and, of course, Slatington’s 150th anniversary celebration will feature all kinds of awesome happenings throughout the coming year. So, if you hear anyone complaining that “there is nothing to do around here” make sure to get them a copy of our paper opened to the Community Calendar.

As always, I hope you enjoy this edition and feedback is always welcome…

The Annual Hawk Count will be held between August 15 and December 1 at Bake Oven Knob.

Join Lehigh Gap Nature Center on the lookout to help with the 53rd annual Bake Oven Knob Autumn Hawk Count.

We always need help spotting the hawks and being there is the best way to learn how to ID migrating raptors. Someone is there daily, weather permitting, seven days a week. For more information, contact 610-760-8889.

Lehigh Township Historical Society News

The LT Historical Centre will be open August 11 and 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. Stop in and you will see many changes inside. There are new showcases filled with memorabilia and new displays. Items are donated on a regular basis. Recently, the society acquired several old newspapers, one of which dates back to the 1800s and another that cost $1.50 per annum. Also, a pair of glasses at least 100 years old, an old traveling razor that screws together, a framed article about Danielsville in a newspaper dated July 6, 1997, and a framed group of pictures pertaining

to the dedication of the Danielsville Post Office on November 26, 1960. The collection also includes a bagwhich was used in 1932 when United States Steel purchased the company and merged with Universal Cement, donated by Ed Pany, Curator of the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum. The 94 lb. bag bears the Portland Atlas Cement trademark. Since we had no memorabilia from the local cement company and many of our residents worked there when it was the largest cement producing plant in the world, we were elated to receive something pertaining to the cement industry. Our thanks to all who donated these items. If you have any memorabilia you would like to donate to the historical society, it is much appreciated.

The historical centre will be open on the second and fourth Sundays each month until October. so stop in sometime soon. It will be a step back in time when you see all of the items from years ago. Where would you go locally to see a newspaper from the 1800s or original pictures of the Danielsville Post Office dedication in 1960 or a bag from the Atlas Cement Company used 81 years ago? These are all interesting items which were donated for the public to enjoy. There is no charge but donations are welcome. The building is air-conditioned for your comfort. All ages are welcome! The next historical society regular monthly meeting will be held on Monday, August 12, at 7 p.m. which will be held in the new addition at the centre. For additional information or any questions, call Ken at 610-7675989.

Recognizing New Science Fiction Writers

There’s hopeful news for struggling writers. An annual contest is designed to encourage them and honor the best of their work. This year’s award ceremony was held at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

The Writers of the Future writing contest was initiated by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983 to provide a means for aspiring writers to get that muchneeded break. Past winners have sold over 50 million copies of their work.

Each year, 12 writers and 12 illustrators have

their work published in the science fiction and fantasy anthology series “L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future.” Orson Scott Card says, “It’s what keeps sci-fi alive.”

This year’s collection (Volume XXIX) is now available online at Amazon.com and BN.com and will soon be available in print wherever books are sold. Learn more at www.writersofthefuture.com. (NAPS)

Crafty Back-to-School Projects for Kids Back-to-School time is one of the busiest of the year. Kids love the excitement of catching up with friends, learning new things and meeting new teachers.

Teachers and moms see this time as hectic. Both have to buy supplies, organize and get kids back into a routine, which can be the biggest challenge.

Some kids finish work fast, leaving them bored and waiting on their siblings or classmates to finish up. The experts at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores suggest creating a box of simple craft projects to keep kids busy during these downtimes.

Whether done at home or at school, crafts are a fun way to teach kids important life skills.

Kids learn to share, socialize and take pride in their work. They also learn to embrace creativity, make choices, explore their own curiosity and express their thoughts and emotions. Dexterity and coordination are also developed as kids manipulate various tools, such as scissors, pottery wheels, needles and hooks. Complex crafts can also teach perseverance and build concentration.

Combine a love of reading with crafting by making a one-of-a-kind bookmark. Kids can complete the project then use it all school year long.

August 4, 1955 Sometimes I wonder why people in other places make such a fuss about us PA Dutch, but it completely clear to me again the last two days. Russell and I drove up through New York State a little and we had no cookies or cakes for dunking at breakfast since we left home and the last two evenings we asked for pie at the restaurant where we ate, but they had none. What then is such a mealtime without cake or pie?

I could write about many things that we saw along the way, but that would be too long [an article], so I will tell about one thing that is very dear to me. We saw an old tree this forenoon that tells an unusual story. The tree is located near Waterloo, NY. There are three metal poles fastened at the tree to hang flags but only one has a flag on it. That flag stands for the young man, who went to fight in the Civil War and did not come back. That young man, 26 years old, went out in the morning to mow a field. While mowing, he decided to enlist in the War. He went home and told his parents. He hung his scythe on a little tree near the house and said,“Leave my scythe hang there until I come back again.” The young man did not come back. The scythe still ‘hangs’ there.

The snathe [handle of the scythe] was rotted away, but the scythe [blade] grew into the heart of the tree and part of it still sticks out.

When World War I came a family lived there that

Page 19

also had two young sons. When they went away to the war, each one hung his scythe on the tree and two flags were hung on the tree [for them]. When the war was over both sons came back. The flags were taken away but the two scythes were left there and also grew into the tree. Many years back lightning struck the tree but the three scythes were not hit.

[Remarkably, that tree still stands, at least as late as 2003, the latest dated material that I found. The basic facts of the story are documented, even the names of the veterans and families who lived there are known. If you look at Seneca County history on the internet you can find information on the Scythe Tree.]

Lifesaving Lesson About Skin Cancer

Whenever you’re under the sun, whether it’s summer or winter, it’s important to guard against sun damage. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the No. 1 cause of skin cancer, and it often doesn’t develop until later in life.

Take, for example, retiree Adelbert “Mac” McIntyre, who now lives in Hawaii. Between his day job laying gas pipelines in San Diego and his free time spent on the beach, Mac found both his life’s work and his relaxation in the sunshine.

All that sunlight took a toll. When he had a routine physical, Kaiser Permanente doctors found a small spot on McIntyre’s chest that caused some suspicion.“They said it looked rather peculiar,” he remembered. Test results confirmed that suspicion—McIntyre had melanoma.

Melanoma is the third most common type of skin cancer, but it’s by far the most deadly because it can spread to a person’s lymph nodes and organs. The National Cancer Institute estimates that one in 50 men and women will be diagnosed with melanoma during their lifetimes. More than 9,000 people in the United States will die from the disease this year.

“When caught early, melanoma is highly treatable,” said Amy Reisenauer, M.D., a Kaiser Permanente dermatologist. Although doctors removed McIntyre’s skin cancer twice in one year, he forgot to follow up with his dermatologist. The cancer developed for a third time.

“I think it’s probably human nature to feel like, well, I had something on my skin, it was a skin cancer, but they cut it out, so it’s done,” said Dr. Reisenauer. “But in fact—especially with melanoma—there is a risk for it to spread to other parts of the body, and you really do need to be seen on a regular basis.”

Fortunately, a newly created melanoma patient registry flagged McIntyre’s missed visit. Kaiser Continued on Page 33

BACK PAIN? We can help!

Exams New Patients seen immediately We may be polluting our own water When most people think about sources of water pollution, they may readily identify industry and agriculture as the primary culprits. We rarely consider that actions we take or practices we follow in our own yards can have a huge impact on the quality of the water we drink, cook with, swim in or boat on. The fact is, however, that our yards can be a major source of water pollution. So the next time you're out appreciating home and business landscapes, think about the things we all can do to protect water quality. Whatever type housing you and yours live in, many people enjoy seeing lush, green, weed-free lawns. Unfortunately, this desire for great grassy expanses can lead to an excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides. Nutrients in fertilizers and some compounds in pesticides may end up polluting our streams, rivers, lakes, and bays as well as groundwater. You can help prevent such pollution if you: • Choose grasses suited to your conditions.

• Apply the correct amount of fertilizer -- as determined by a soil test -- at the proper time of year.

• Mow your grass to the proper height.• Leave grass clippings on the lawn.

Water is sometimes in short supply, especially during periods of summer drought. People can waste enormous amounts of water trying to keep lawns green in hot, dry summer months, when grass naturally goes dormant. Many don't realize that lawns will automatically "re-green" when the weather cools and rainfall returns. Pet waste left to decay on the sidewalk or on grass near the street may be washed into storm drains by rain or melting snow. Storm drains do not go to a sewage treatment plant, but drain directly into our waterways, carrying pollutants along with the water.

There are at least two University fact sheets with information we may need to better take care of our lawns as we improve water quality. The first comes from Penn State, College of Agricultural Sciences and focuses on varying lawn needs and home owner tasks as we progress through the seasons of the year. It can be found at http://pubs.cas.psu.edu/freepubs/pdfs/uc211.pdf The second fact sheet can be found at www.mda.maryland.gov/fertilizer and centers on proper use of lawn fertilizer. With a small amount of planning and a deeper understanding of how significant our role is in maintaining water quality the future of our vital water resource is brighter.

Skin Cancer Continued from Page 27 Permanente scheduled another appointment, and just in time. Dr. Reisenauer discovered melanoma on his back early enough to re­move it successfully.

While some people may not be so lucky, the good news is that many types of skin cancer are easy to prevent and most can be cured if caught early. You can see a video about McIntyre’s story at http://bit.ly/19Rumc0.

These lifesaving tips can help you protect yourself against skin cancer all year long.

Who’s At Risk For Melanoma Though men over 50 are most at risk for developing melanoma, there is a rise in young women developing melanoma as well. But these demographics are not exclusive, and often, men and women who develop melanoma are dealing with fallout from sun damage that began when they were children.

How To Spot Melanoma Melanoma can be found with a simple selfexamination using a full-length mirror. At its earliest stage, melanoma is usually identifiable by oddly shaped moles or marks that appear on the body. Know the “ABCDs” of melanoma: • A is for Asymmetry. One half of the mole looks

Page 33

different from the other half.

• B is for Border Irregularity. The edges are ragged, notched or blurred.

• C is for Color. Watch for shades of red and black, or a red, white and blue mottled appearance.

• D is for Diameter. The mole is larger than a pencil eras­er. (Harmless moles are usually smaller than this.)

A self-exam for any of these symptoms should be done once a month.

How To Prevent Skin Cancer • Avoid the sun when its rays are the strongest— between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

• Wear clothing to protect exposed skin—a wide-brimmed hat, long pants, sunglasses and a long-sleeved shirt.

• Apply sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays with a sun protective factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Look for all these terms (UVA, UVB and SPF) on the label.

• Reapply sunscreen every two hours for maximum protection from UVA and UVB rays.

• Avoid indoor tanning.

Superintendent Q&A with Northern Lehigh’s Michael Michaels

Staff writer Tyler Trumbauer will be interviewing all six Superintendents from all of the school districts that the Gazette encompasses. He will be asking each administrator the same inquiries to see how their district is faring in these trying times for public schools. This installment, the fifth of six, is with Northern Lehigh’s Michael Michaels.

TT: How would you describe this past school year for your district across the board?

MM: On many levels we had a very successful school year. Academically we are doing wonderful.

We had a lot of kids go off to academies and Ivy League schools. Academically we are secondto-none. Even though we are a small school we are not going to take a back seat to anyone. We had a lot of successes this year. We had successes academically, athletically and in our facilities.

One of my goals when I came to Northern Lehigh was to improve our facilities.

By Tyler Trumbauer

TT: What is the current state of the Northern Lehigh School District?

MM: I believe Northern Lehigh is the hidden gem in the Lehigh Valley. When I was at another district not too far from here no one ever talked about Northern Lehigh. Now when we go places people are talking about us. I think this is a great community to raise a family and it is a great school system. I think the current state is very well. Times are trying budget wise, but we have great kids, great parents and great teachers. We are all in this together to try and make this a better place for our students.

TT: What is your main concern moving forward?

MM: I have about one hundred concerns, but the biggest one is money, money, money. You have to really sit back and analyze Northern Lehigh.

We have very little industry which means we have very little tax base and the state is not giving their share that they are supposed to give to the educational process. Money is the number one concern. There are so many unfunded mandates from construction projects to trainings and

evaluation programs. There is constant stress for us to try and make nickels into quarters. The teachers, administrators and school board work hard to not cut programs and right now there is a declining enrollment in Northern Lehigh.

So that makes us figure out a way to streamline anyway possible. Our biggest expenditure is in salaries. So we have to figure out ways to stay competitive. We are not filling a lot of vacated positions to streamline. Also, state testing bothers me. I’m worried the state is going to force us to teach to a test and not just teach to our students.

TT: What do you want to do in the immediate future with the district?

MM: The big thing right now is that we are finishing up our five-year infrastructure plan.

For example we finished Slatington Elementary with the new district office and we put in the new turf surface in the stadium. We did all of our projects for two reasons. One is for cost saving in the long run and second is safety.

In the middle school we will be fixing the front doors to ensure that no one can enter the building without permission. I don’t want anything bad to happen at Northern Lehigh.

I’m doing anything I can to make this place safe and that is really important to me.

Page 37

TT: How do you see your district in five years?

MM: I wish I knew the answer to that. I can’t tell you what it is going to look like next year at this time depending on what the state gives us money-wise and Harrisburg needs to figure out what they want to do. It is so hard to put together a fiveyear plan. We have to have a budget done for one year by June, but we don’t know our state funding until after June. So here at Northern Lehigh we always guess conservatively. I would say that in five years from now I hope Northern Lehigh is on a solid financial base. I hope we continue to hire some great teachers like we have now. It is going to be hard to find great people to replace our great teachers we have now. Hopefully our education won’t be as testdriven as it is now. I hope it would be more about teaching to the students’ needs. I hope we come to our senses and not become test crazy.

Adults Need Vaccines, Too Vaccines help prevent dangerous and sometimes deadly diseases. This August, National Immunization Awareness Month, is the perfect time to remind family and friends to get caught up on their shots.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thousands of adults in the United States die each year from diseases that they could have been vaccinated against. Many adults remain unvaccinated because they are unaware or misinformed about the need for vaccines beyond childhood.

We all need immunizations (also called vaccines or shots) to help protect us from serious diseases.

It's important to know which shots you need and when to get them.

As we get older, our immune systems tend to weaken over time, putting us at higher risk of infectious diseases. When older adults get infected, they can have more severe illnesses than younger people. Vaccines can help boost the immune system to decrease the risk of older adults getting vaccine-preventable diseases.

Fortunately, all Medicare consumers are eligible for flu vaccines once a flu season in the fall or winter. A flu vaccine is necessary every year because flu viruses are always changing. It is recommended for adults over age 50, residents

of long term care facilities, health care workers, those with chronic medical conditions, as well as certain others.

The pneumococcal vaccine is covered for all Medicare consumers, and can be administered at any time of the year. The vaccine is recommended for all those age 65 or older as well as those with chronic heart, lung, liver or kidney diseases, residents of long term care facilities and certain ethnic populations.

"People of all ages can get shots to protect themselves from disease and illness," says Dr. Donald Wilson, Medical Director for Quality Insights of Pennsylvania, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Pennsylvania.

"Talk to your doctor or nurse to make sure that everyone in the family gets the shots they need."

Slatington 150th Anniv.

The Slatington 150th Planning Committee met on Monday, July 15, at the Vigilant Fire Company to consolidate plans for the kick-off activity for the Sesquicentennial Celebration which will occur when the Borough of Slatington celebrates its 150th birthday in 2014.

The kick-off party has been planned for Saturday, August 24, beginning at 4:00 p.m., at the Covered Bridge Pavilion, near 7th Street at the west end of Slatington, and will be held rain or shine. The festivities will include a pig roast dinner (5:00-7:00 p.m.), live entertainment, guest speakers, a beer garden, additional food vendors, crafters, and more.

Tickets for the pig roast may be purchased at Slatington Beverage, Bechtel’s Pharmacy, The Shack, Slatington Skeet and Sporting Association, the Slatington Library, or from any board member.

Ticket sales will end on or near August 5th.

T-shirts, mugs, and other Slatington 150th memorabilia also will be available, as will a booklet written by lifelong Slatington resident, Charles Rowlands, entitled “Slatington: Do You Remember When?” which will provide much nostalgia for many area residents. Pre-orders will be taken for the 200+ page, hard cover Slatington history book

scheduled to be released next summer. There will be a limited number of books available. Copies of Rowlands’ booklet are currently available and may be purchased at Galio’s Market, Bechtel’s Pharmacy and the Slatington Library.

The Planning Committee meets at the Vigilant Fire Company at 7:00 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of each month. Volunteers are not only welcomed but are needed to help carry out plans for activities being considered for the coming year. Please do not hesitate to speak to any Board member if you are interested in volunteering.

Extra Point Op-Ed

by Tyler Trumbauer

Student vs. Athlete: Why the former should be before the latter

My job as a high school sports writer is to inform my readers about the happenings in the local varsity sports scene. I am obligated to present to you all the facts and the pertinent information about a story so that you may be more informed on the topic.

However, covering high school sports can be a tricky trade. One may get too engulfed with the sports and the competition. Student-athletes feverishly scour the inked pages of the sports sections looking to see if their name or even better a snapshot of them appear somewhere within.

In today’s world of social media and online journalism, covering local sports has heightened.

Television stations pay decent money to televise special games or postseason contests. Print writers are expected to Tweet out every update that they can in 140 characters in-between plays. Then fans expect instant stories from the games and blogs

about the players and their performances so they may judge the youngsters on how they played.

With all of this pandemonium surrounding high school sports I think this inquiry must be formed, are we sensationalizing student-athletes?

This may seem odd coming from a high school sports writer who spends a lot of time covering various levels of nearly every sport offered by educational institutions today, but I feel we are building up egos to the point where they can no longer deflate safely. The individuals that my press box neighbors and I are covering are high school student-athletes. The term student-athlete has lost its meaning over time. It originally described students that participated in athletics during time away from their studies. Over time is has evolved into a term that describes an individual who is a student at a school, but is more known for his or her performances on the field or the court than their skills in the classroom. That definition change is a disastrous alteration.

This topic was brought to the forefront of many minds by the recent lawsuit between the NCAA and former UCLA Bruin, Ed O’Bannon. Mr. O’Bannon is suing the NCAA stating that it is using players’ likenesses for their own profitable gain without compensating the player. This has sparked a huge debate, not just in the court room, but on college campuses and sports bars across the country. In college, it is clear that the lines General Hauling Cleanup Stone Mulch

between student and athlete have been blurred and people have come to accept that. That is also why I believe NCAA student-athletes deserve compensation for their participation in collegiate athletics beyond their scholarship, but that is a topic for another day.

In high school, the student-athlete needs to remain a student first and an athlete second. Yes, they deserve recognition for their accomplishments, but don’t place them on pedestals. Their being is sensationalized and they live like kings in their hallways of their high schools and everywhere around their town. Then reality hits them hard when “Mr. Everything” can’t throw a pass, make a goal or make a basket in the collegiate level.

The blame for all this unnecessary hype of local student-athletes should partially go to the media and also to the parents who laud their kids for everything they do as a minor miracle. Let the kids play the game and celebrate the good that comes from it. Let them prosper or fail on their own and learn from it. Don’t breakdown and analyze everything they do from what breakfast cereal they eat on game days to their favorite shampoo to use. These are high school students first and athletes second. Save the sensationalizing for ESPN.
