From the Editor’s Desk

Joe Korba

With the solstice on June 21, summer officially kicks off. The warm weather and sunshine will bring plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the many great local parks and trails—from the canals in Weissport and Walnutport to the stretch of the Appalachian trail that cuts through our reading area.

As always, I hope you all enjoy this issue and I want to remind you that we are still accepting nominations for our “Blue Mountain’s Best” feature. If you have any noteworthy neighbors or friends, send your nomination to dtepper@townandcountrygazette.com.

Also, remember to vote for your favorite ice cream joint in our Coolest Treat contest on page 17.

Finally, I would like to congratulate our sports writer,Tyler Trumbauer, who graduated from Northern Lehigh High School on June 13, along with all of the other local graduates.

Meet the Staff What was the all-time, hands-down BEST vacation you ever took?

If money didn’t matter, would you do it again?

Joe Korba, Associate Publisher: A trip to Puerto Rico with my fiancé after she finished grad school. Spending the day on a catamaran in the Caribbean consuming too much rum is time well spent. If money wasn't an issue, I'm pretty sure I'd live in San Juan.

Alice Wanamaker, Publishing Assistant: I spent a week at a rental home in Cape May, NJ in August 2009. The weather was perfect and we stayed just a short walk from the beach, shops, and great restaurants. I would go back every year if I could!

Danielle Tepper, Publishing Assistant: In the summer of 2008, I spent two weeks on the Kailua-Kona coast of the Big Island of Hawai’i with my family. It’s easily the most clichéd destination for travelers, but Hawai’i is called paradise for a reason. We went horseback riding through Waipio Valley, visited black sand beaches, botanical gardens, waterfalls, and volcanoes, went coffee tasting at the Kona plantation, experienced an authentic luau (I tried poi—it was awful), explored sea caves, snorkeled with wild dolphins, and saw some of the most spectacular sunsets I’ve ever seen in my life. I’d go to Hawai’i again in a heartbeat, but to a different island next time around.

Donna Bachman, Accounting Manager: My niece got married in Jamaica. Nothing like an all-inclusive vacation with family for a week celebrating a beautiful occasion and not a care in the world. I would not even have to think twice about doing this again.

Tony Pisco, Art Director: I was fortunate growing up that my parents enjoyed going on vacation, so I've been to some great places (Hawai'i, Grand Canyon,Yellowstone) but the best vacation I ever took was when we drove out to Washington and spent the summer just south of Seattle in Olympia. Highlights included camping, Mount St. Helens erupting (probably not really a highlight), and watching the cast of Happy Days play a softball game in-between a doubleheader of the Mariners at the Kingdome. I would definitely go out to Washington again.

Tyler Trumbauer, Staff Writer: The best vacation I ever went on was with my family to Disney World in 2008. Being the sports nut that I am, we went during ESPN The Weekend, and it just heightened the experience. Disney is where dreams come true and many of mine actually did during that trip as I met and talked to many of my favorite talking heads and former professional athletes, as well as getting the chance to appear on ESPN. I'd love to do it again, but it was a oncein-a-lifetime trip that came at the right time in my life.

Happy Birthday Leah Ritter - 40 on June 1 Gavin Hoppes - 4 on June 3 Cindy Kern - 83 on June 10 Irma J. Murillo - 78 on June 10 Blake Eitner - 12 on June 12 Kristy Moyer - 35 on June 12

GEMINI—May 21 to June 20—When choosing a spot to rest for a minute, keep the sun to your back and smile for good luck.

CANCER—June 21 to July 22—This is a great time to discover new foods. Try something a little spicier than a taco on the Mexican menu or jump into authentic Thai.

LEO—July 23 to Aug. 22—You’re on top of the world! Keeping your positive attitude will take you farther than you ever imagined.

Plus, you will be positively influencing those around you.

VIRGO—Aug. 23 to Sept. 22—Have you ever heard that the best things in life are free? Try to live by this motto for a few months and enjoy the things that you discover.

LIBRA—Sept. 23 to Oct. 22—Chances are not great for that special someone to reach out to you first. It may be time to pick up the phone if you want to see where the friendship may go.

SCORPIO—Oct. 23 to Nov. 22—Summer allergies may hit you harder this year than ever before; be prepared for symptoms to begin soon.

SAGITTARIUS—Nov. 23 to Dec. 21—Where

CAPRICORN—Dec. 22 to Jan. 19—With the year half over, it is a great time to start planning for colder months and the season of celebrating with family and friends.

AQUARIUS—Jan. 20 to Feb. 18—Adventure is about to come your way. Do not turn down opportunities out of fear or uncertainty.

PISCES—Feb. 19 to March 20—Never start something if you are not sure you will be able to finish it. Unfinished projects may cause undue stress.

ARIES—March 21 to April 20—Directions are not always what they seem to be. Slow down and figure out what is the best course of action, or the best route for your best trip.

TAURUS—April 21 to May 20—Hanging on to the past is not going to get you where you want to go. Sit down and list out your goals after carefully considering your future.

Extra Point

by Tyler Trumbauer

Just Another Beginning

Graduation is what every high school student looks forward to during their four years roaming the halls of their local school. Some count down the days until the moment comes, while others wish they had a few more moments to bask in their high school glory.

Commencement starts another chapter in our lives, but it also ends a very important one. High school is definitely the best time of our lives. It is the period where we get to experience freedom without the responsibilities that life will present us in just a few short months.

Varsity sports teams battle graduation each and every year. Schools, coaches, and programs are excited to see their athletes graduate and move on to the next part of their lives as they build their existence in this world. At the same time, however, they struggle to stay successful with all the moving parts.

Commencement happens every year when we turn the calendars to June. This time around, it was this writer’s turn to strut across the stage and receive his diploma. I was lucky enough to be able to sit on the stage during the ceremony and also make a speech as one of my last duties as Senior Class President.

The ceremony was fantastic and I’m happy to have made it this far, but it wouldn’t have been possible without many individuals. I’d like to thank everyone at the Town & Country Gazette for giving me a chance to write when I was just a sophomore. Also, Mrs. Renee Evans, Mr. Andrew Kern, and Mr. Chris Bennett made huge contributions to my life and my growing journalism career.

Also, I cannot forget my family. Every member

Phil & Son

Tyler Trumbauer

of it has been so supportive of my writing jobs during high school, even when it would mean spending late hours at a track meet on a school night.

During graduation season, there are a lot of goodbyes. People move on and start a whole new adventure in their lives. Thanks to everyone’s support these last few years, I will be starting my next adventure at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, where I will be majoring in Broadcast Journalism. Despite my time at Northern Lehigh High School ending, this isn’t a goodbye to the Gazette—this is a see you later, as “Extra Point” will be continuing into the next chapter of my life, as my story isn’t quite finished.

Fruitful Container Gardens Submitted by MELINDA MYERS Picture yourself harvesting a few fresh strawberries for your cereal in the morning or perhaps picking a few apples from your own backyard tree to cook up into a pie. It is possible, even if you garden on a balcony or small lot.

And even if you have plenty of space, you will still appreciate the fun and convenience of reaching out the backdoor and harvesting some homegrown fruit.

Strawberries are excellent container plants.

Grow ever bearing or day neutral varieties so you will be harvesting strawberries throughout

the growing season.

Reduce your workload and increase success with a self-watering hanging basket.

Or dress things up a bit more with a decorative container.

The haystack hanging baskets have the beauty of the coco fiber-lined planters, but require half the watering.

The AquaSav™ liner is a combination of coir and recycled plastic designed to conserve moisture. This means better results with less watering.

But don’t stop there. Add some dwarf fruit trees to your patio plantings. A dwarf apple, peach or pear will provide beautiful spring flowers, nice foliage for the summer and fruit for you to enjoy.

Select self-fertile varieties, those that only require one plant to produce fruit, if space is limited.

Grow your dwarf trees in large weatherproof pots with drainage. Those in cold climates will need

to provide some winter protection, but the first harvest will make that extra bit of work well worth the effort.

Or try your green thumb at growing lemons, limes and other citrus in a container. The fragrant flowers and glossy green leaves are a beautiful prelude to the tasty fruit. Even cold weather gardeners can put their green thumb to the test by growing a Meyer lemon, Kaffir lime or other citrus in a container. Just move the potted plant indoors for the winter and back outdoors next season once the danger of frost has passed.

And don’t forget the blueberries that are high in antioxidants and flavor. These nutritious beauties require moist well-drained acidic soil. Something most gardeners do not have. This makes growing them in containers, where you control the soil, a good option. Blueberries provide seasonal interest with their nodding white bell-shaped flowers in spring, colorful fruit in summer and yellow, orange or red color in fall. Though only one plant is needed to bear fruit, keep in mind that your harvest will more than double if you grow two.

So survey your patio, deck, balcony, or garden for space to add a container or two of fruiting plants that are sure to add beauty and flavor to your garden and meals this season.

Liturgy For A National Holiday

Submitted by ANN STEIGERWALT On July 4, 1776, our founders bravely advanced the cause of freedom and liberty by declaring this nation's independence and sovereignty and that all her citizens possessed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness given by our Creator. It is appropriate therefore as we mark our nation's 238th birthday that we give thanks to that Creator for our liberties and pray for continued blessings upon our country, our government, and our people.

Join us at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church (1235 Main Street in Northampton) on Sunday, July 6 at 9 a.m. as we celebrate "A Liturgy for a National Holiday" to mark the occasion. Pastor Stanley Trout will be the presiding minister. You are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue for this occasion.

Submitted by FAITH ALIVE CHURCH Calling all kids: Trace it back to the facts; the evidence is clear. Discover, decide, and defend the truth about who Jesus really is with LifeWay's Agency D3 Vacation Bible School at Faith Alive UMC. Special Agents (children age 3 through sixth grade) will receive training on June 23 through June 27 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Dinner will precede from 5 to 6 p.m. nightly. The week of food, fun, and exciting learning opportunities is free of charge and open to everyone. To register, call 610-8522805 or email faithalv@ptd.net. More information is available at www.faithaliveumc.com.

Again this summer, VBS is scheduled as an evening event with a light dinner served each night. Susan Moyer is the director once again this year and is in need of teachers and helpers for Pre-K up to fifth and sixth grade classes.

Kitchen help is needed to plan and prepare light meals each night. General help is also needed for crafts, kitchen, and classroom aides. Because Faith Alive is a “Safe Sanctuary” for children, everyone helping with VBS must have background checks completed well before VBS begins. Interested volunteers are asked to contact Sue Moyer at 610852-2381.

Indianland Garden Club Memorial Day Project Submitted by DAVID D. ALTRICHTER In 2010, I needed a helping hand to beautify The Samuel Kress Civil War Memorial located in Union Cemetery in Washington Township.

The Indianland Garden Club joined the Post 16 American Legion Family in restoring this monument in time for Memorial Day services that year. For the past five years, they have continued the beautification project by cleaning up the area and planting flowers. This year I felt especially proud of their efforts because they decided to add a little color to the site. Red, white, and blue flowers were planted in front of the eight Civil

Local Daycare Hosts Bake Sale Benefit Submitted by AMY SANDHOLM On Friday, May 23, Park Avenue Kids Korner in Neffs hosted a bake sale to benefit Team Davidson: Kathy's Battle. Kathy Davidson, a local resident of our community, began fighting her battle with stage four lung cancer two and a half years ago.

Besides being an amazing wife and mother, she was an exceptional person. In only a few short hours, the families and staff of PAKK pulled together, as they always do to support a member of our PAKK family, and raised $700.

When her daughter, Karen Koch of Slatington, shared the information with her, she herself was both amazed and beyond thankful for everyone's generosity. After a long but very brave and determined fight, Kathy lost her battle the next day. Though this brought great sadness to many, we know she is no longer in pain and watching over her family. We were so happy that we could bring joy to her and her loved ones in her final

hours. For more information on Kathy's Battle, visit Facebook and “Team Davidson: Kathy's Battle—We're In This Together" as they continue to fight and raise awareness.

Cadets of Civil Air Patrol Dazzle at 2014 Kids Discovery Expo

By RUSANA KASRIEL On May 3, 2014, Cadets of Civil Air Patrol joined Kids Discovery Expo at the Da Vinci Center in Allentown. The event was hosted by PA Senator Pat Browne in conjunction with Representative Ryan Mackenzie. According to Senator Browne, the Expo was designed to provide information to parents, grandparents, and children about the myriad of programs, and other services available from government, community, and corporate groups throughout the area.

While there are many youth oriented programs in America today, Civil Air Patrol’s cadet program is unique in that it uses aviation as a cornerstone.

The program allows young people ages 12 through 21 to progress at their own pace through a 16-step program including aerospace education, leadership training, physical fitness and moral leadership.

Because love of aviation is what brings cadets together, Civil Air Patrol decided to share the experience of flight with the participants. Under tutelage of cadets, who were on hand to help navigate the controls and throttle of the Flight Simulator, many youngsters were able to take their first virtual flight. The knowledge of controlling an aircraft comes naturally to the cadets, because in the aerospace program they learn how to operate real air planes. This is made possible because Civil Air Patrol operates one of the largest fleets of single-engine piston aircraft in the world, with 550 currently in the fleet. Cadets have an option of earning their pilot's license through the program and many eventually pursue a career in aviation.

Aviation and core values are what make Civil Air Patrol unique.

In accordance with their coral values of Integrity, Volunteer Service, Excellence, and Respect, cadets honored Senator Pat Browne by presenting him with a Certificate of Appreciation.

Search and Rescue is CAP’s emergency services legacy and is one of tremendous pride to the organization and to its members. CAP officers, NCOs and cadets have saved thousands of lives since its founding, and continue to save about 80 lives per year. Like everything else about CAP, emergency services have evolved over the decades.

Search and Rescue (SAR) is what CAP became famous for after WW II. CAP performs over 90% of the SAR missions flown in the continental US (as tasked by the Air Force), flying between 2,000 and 3,000 hours a year, as well as thousands of hours in ground search. Today, because of advancements in technology, SAR accounts for about 15% of CAP’s real-world missions. Air crews, ground rescue teams and mission base personnel are needed.

Disaster Relief (DR) is a growing portion of our mission, encompassing both air and ground operations. Typical tasks include: airlift of vital supplies (equipment, blood) and personnel, aerial damage assessment (including live transmission of photos and video to government officials), ground damage assessment, evacuation and other tasks.

It was a real treat for cadets of Civil Air Patrol to meet with representatives of the United States Search and Rescue Task Force. Many of the Squadrons of Civil Air Patrol have formed and

Celebrations At Northampton Senior Center

trained ground teams so they can be ready if called to perform search and rescue operations. During the Expo, Cadets helped in K-9 Search and Rescue exercise of locating a missing child. The dogs sniffed the cap, and took off. The K-9 unit left no stone unturned and in the process also located a State Senator and Chief of Department of United State Search and Rescue Task Force. Since mission of Civil Air Patrol coincides with the mission of US Search and Rescue Task Force, CAP members are looking forward to working with US SAR Task Force.

Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)organization with 61,000 members nationwide, operating a fleet of 550 aircraft.

CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary role, performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 80 lives annually.

Its volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to more than 26,000 young people currently participating in the CAP cadet programs. CAP received the World Peace Prize in 2011 and has been performing missions for America for 71 years.

The Mauser Mill – Treichlers

Donald Kuntz in his home standing next to his 1967 Mauser Mill calendar Submitted by DAVID D. ALTRICHTER I found the following information about Mauser Mill from the histories of Northampton County and Lehigh Township.

Treichlers, originally known as Kuntzford, was named after the first settler David Kuntz, who established a mill there in 1794. Sometime before 1829, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company built a slate dam to create a deeper river, so they could use the slackwater for navigating boats downstream. The Lehigh Canal through Kuntzford brought much traffic and trade to this settlement that provided overnight docking for the canal boats.

When Henry Treichler became owner of

Accepting New Customers

Kuntz Mill in 1840, the village became known as Treichlers. In 1880 George W. Bogh of Catasaqua purchased the mill, and expanded its size before his death. In 1886 Jacob Mauser purchased the mill, and established the Mauser Mill Company.

In 1892 Mauser established a mill downstream at Laurys Station. This mill was destroyed by fire in 1937. The Mauser Mill Company was incorporated in 1902, and he expanded his operation by acquiring mills in Northampton in 1905, Hazelton 1911, Danielsville 1914, Palmerton 1916 and Allentown in 1918. Jacob died 1908, passing control of the mills to J. Mark Mauser and George Lerch. By 1924 George’s son Harry took over operations. The Allentown mill burned in 1926, but was rebuilt the same year. Harry sold Hazelton in 1926 and Danielsville in 1928. Donald remembers the Allentown and Palmerton mills only being used for storage. By 1928 Mauser Mill Company was one of the largest independent mills in the Northeast. The last member of the Mauser family to run the mill was J. Mauser Lerch, who controlled the operation from 1927 to 1967.

Their motto was “For Better Bread and Cakes, Use Mauser’s Flour.” Their brands of flour were Special Hi-Gluten, Gibraltar, Oven Buster, Breadmaker, Whole Wheat Flour, King Pin, Queen’s Best, Fairy Kist, Full Bloom and Rising Star. While Donald was still in school, he worked summers delivering flour to some of Mauser’s larger customers like Schaibles and Friehoffers who bought pallet loads of flour. While Donald was still in high school he worked for Mauser delivering flour to small bakeries throughout the coal region like Fritzingers in Walnutport. He could pick up 100 pound cotton sacks of flour, throw it over his shoulder, and carry it into the bakery. It was a little more difficult if he had to carry it down steps because the bakery stored their flour in the basement. Mauser had salesmen in the valley and coal regions who called in orders.

Mauser had a truck on the road for delivery to

The Mauser Mill – Treichlers

On the back of the picture, I found these names George and Harry Muschlitz sons of William O. Muschlitz, who owned a 92 acre farm in Washington Township equipped with modern machinery. bakeries and stores as far north as Scranton. In later years paper sacks were used in 100 lb., 50 lb., 25 lb., 10 lb. and 5 lb. quantities. By-products of the mill were Bran, Standard Middlings, and Flour Middlings packed in burlap sacks used for animal feed, shipped by truck or railroad. Starting in the1950, most of the flour was shipped in bulk truckloads of 52,000 pounds and railroad airslide hopper cars with a capacity of 200,000 pounds.

The mill generated its own electricity by directing the Lehigh River through a millrace on a horizontal waterwheel. With a work force of 30 to 40 people, they processed 2,000 bushels per day. Animal feed was shipped by railroad.

Flour was packaged in 5 pound paper bags or 140 pound cloth sacks until 1927, when they employed two coopers to make wooden barrels to hold 196 pounds of flour. Soft wheat brands produced at the mill included Fairy Kist, Full Bloom and Rising Star. Hard wheat was made into Mauser’s Best, Gibraltar, Oven Buster and Bread Maker. In the

1920’s Treichler area with Mauser Mill in lower right, with the low bridge crossing the Lehigh Canal and River. In the middle is the high bridge crossing the Jersey Central Railroad, Canal, River and Lehigh Valley Railroad.

1942 flood water covered the entire first floor of the mill. A fire swept through part of the plant in June, 1953 destroying sections of the mill. Almost all of the grain was saved, but the fire halted production for several months.

On May 6, I interviewed Donald Kuntz, a lifelong resident of Lehigh Township, who served four years in the United States Navy as a 2nd Class Boatswainmate on LST 542 during the Korean War. In 1957 he started working for Mauser Mills.

A lot of Donald’s information is incorporated in my first four paragraphs. Because of his extensive knowledge gained by working in the mill office, I got a much better understanding of mill work. In the mid 1960’s, Donald was appointed office and traffic manager. He coordinated incoming and outgoing shipments by truck and Jersey Central Continued on Page 26

The Mauser Mill – Treichlers Continued from Page 25 Railroad. He would hand carry flour orders bills of lading across the tracks to the Treichlers Station. Another one of his duties was to pay the local farmers by calculating their deliveries.

In the old days, the wheat was ground between two large stone wheels. Local farmers delivered winter wheat in burlap bags tied with a slipknot.

The trucks first entered a scale for loaded weight, and then moved to a chute and emptied each bag by loosening the slip knot. At the bottom of the chute was a conveyer belt that carried the grain to the proper silo. Then the truck drove on the scale for empty weight.

The modern method of grinding is performed with a series of four 9 inch diameter grooved steel rollers. There are 14 sets of these rollers, 24”, 30” and 36”, and are used in pairs to grind the grain to the customer’s specification for pastry flour for companies like Tastykake. A lab above the office was used for quality control and the lab technician would bake loaves of bread to test the flour. Donald said it was the best bread he ever ate! In the old days summer wheat was delivered in boxcars. The inside of the box car was lined with heavy paper held in place with steel straps to protect the product. Wooden planks were stacked in front of the doors as they filled the cars. To unload the boxcar, a hole was chopped in the bottom board to start a gravity flow of the grain down the chute to a conveyer. As the wheat got lower in the boxcar, the boards were removed.

To remove the final wheat, an electric scraping device was developed so that the operator could maneuver around the box car and in every corner to get the majority of the wheat. The remaining wheat was removed by employees with a shovel.

The use of the hopper cars for delivery was a great improvement and a major labor saver.

In June of 1966, Nebraska Consolidated traded shares to purchase Mauser Mills. In 1972, they purchased an old cement plant at Martins Creek, PA and converted it to a milling operation. Donald set up the office at the Martins Creek plant, and for many years, he worked between the two offices. In 1991 he retired, after thirty-four years in the business.

Today, these mills are part of the ConAgra Corporation. Mauser Mill has a staff of 11 employees working three shifts over seven days to ship 30 truckloads of hard wheat and 10 loads of animal feed every week. Mauser & Martins Creek mills only scratch the surface of the ConAgra Corporation. The Treichler mill was built in 1888, but theYork, PA mill is the oldest dating back to 1836.

In addition to these three mills, ConAgra Corp. owns and operates twenty more mills throughout the United States: Red Lion, PA - Columbus & Landensville, Ohio - Chester & Alton, Illinois New Prague & Hastinos, Minnesota. ConAgra Home Office is in Omaha where they have A & B Mills and another in Fremont, Nebraska - Deavor & Commerce City, Colorado – Colton & Oakland, California – Decatur, Alabama – Macon, Georgia – Tampa, Florida – Saginaw & Sherman, Texas and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I have heard that America is the “Breadbasket of the World,” and I believe ConAgra must be a major part of milling the grain to make the bread.

So much goes into making the flour that makes the bread. Sometimes we don’t give much thought to the farmers that plant the crops and harvest the grain. We might admire his big tractor but do not think of the cost to manufacturer this equipment.

We might be inconvenienced stopping for trains or stuck behind a truck, but we do not give much thought to the rough and finished products they transport every day. Every business has a delicate balance between supply and demand that requires good planning and logistics for the successful operation of each mill. Constant research and innovation is required in searching new products and operational methods to maximize resources. ConAgra has a sales force to buy the best raw materials and parts to meet their production schedule for receiving, binning and grinding the flour to customer specifications. The final area is customer feedback and satisfaction.

There’s nothing like warm dinner rolls or the smell of freshly baked bread! I hope you have enjoyed learning about Mauser Mill and the important role it plays in making our lives a little bit better. Mauser Mill/ConAgra is another one of my favorite stories about something “MADE IN AMERICA.”

Best Beach Books

I’m still over a month away from my St. Lucia vacation, but I’ve been compiling my reading list for months. Every time I go away, I have a suitcase for clothes and a carry-on for books. (“But Danielle, that’s why they created e-Readers!” NO.) My absolute favorite place to read is on the beach. Everything else melts away and you’re just left with the feel of the pages between your fingers and sand between your toes, the smell of salty sea air and fresh paper, and the sound of the waves crashing. It’s my happy place; nothing beats it—clearly, I mean, just listen to how dreamily I talk about it. I know

www.townandcountrygazette.com | June 19, 2014

I’m not the only one with this particular love in my life, otherwise authors wouldn’t launch new summertime novels so easily. (Many of these books are considered chick lit for obvious reasons, but that’s what makes them the best for nibbling on during a sunny afternoon.) When I take a glance at the bookcase in my bedroom, I can pinpoint specific vacations just based on the book spines. Below are a handful of favorites and my recommendations to anyone in need of a good beach read this season.

A Trip to the Beach by Melinda & Robert Blanchard | Read on a Carnival cruise, 2007 I don’t read many nonfiction books, but this one intrigued me. It’s the true story of a husband and wife team who decide to abandon mainland living to open the restaurant of their dreams on Anguilla and spend their days living on “island time.” It’s all steel drums and palm trees until a hurricane turns their lives upside down. Don’t read on an empty stomach; the Blanchards write with recipe descriptions so vivid, you can almost taste the words.

The Last Summer (of You & Me) by Ann Brashares | Read in Hawaii, 2008 I loved the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, so when I came across Ann’s first novel for adults, I snatched it right up. It’s the story of three twenty-somethings; two sisters as different as land and sea and the boy they’ve been linked to since childhood—a little love triangle drama perfect for indulging in beneath a beach umbrella.

Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand | Read in Florida, 2009 I blame Elin for my weird urge to visit Nantucket someday. This was my first time reading her work, but I quickly devoured many more in the years following.

Barefoot is the story of three women escaping their stress at a summer

www.townandcountrygazette.com | June 19, 2014

cottage, where they befriend a local college boy. This is a bittersweet one now, as Elin Hilderbrand revealed just last week that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Read her announcement by searching for her blog post on www.huffingtonpost.com.

Still Summer by Jacquelyn Mitchard | Read on a Carnival cruise, 2010 This one has bit more darkness to it. It has vague touches of “Captain Phillips;” when a storm leaves four women (three friends and one of their daughters) crewless, they are left vulnerable to the elements, and worse, pirates. The story is, by all counts, vacation gone wrong. Their harrowing journey back to land and reality is a total pageturner.

Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer | Read in Myrtle Beach, 2011 Yet another story about three women on Nantucket.

Three sisters return home to their widower father for a summer after an almost two-year separation. After their mother’s death, the girls left the island to focus on their own lives. Now, unhappy with their own realities, they are forced to come back and reconcile both with each other and with the fact that their father is moving on.

Justin Sheftel Memorial Softball Tournament Submitted by LAUREN PORSI 2014 will mark the 10th annual softball tournament. This tournament promises to be exciting and offer activities for everyone, with a lot of softball games to watch. The tournament is Saturday, June 21 with a rain date of June 22, at the Parkland Athletic Fields.

There will be 22 teams competing within men and women’s divisions. There will be fun for the whole family, no admission, and a lot of softball to be watched. Steve Carlton will be attending; he will act as a judge for the Mocktail contest, sponsored by Red Robin, and he will also be signing autographs from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. There is a limited time and number of autographs that can be signed.

For those real Phillies fans who would like a special opportunity to meet Steve Carlton and share a few minutes with him in private, you may want to consider the VIP package. There is VIP time set aside from 3:00 to 3:30 p.m. on June 21. Space is limited to 20 people in a private RV provided

by Hawk Radio and Vin Art Dealerships. The cost is $150, which includes the meet and greet, a genuine major league baseball to be autographed and a picture taken with Steve (to be emailed to you after the event). A Hall of Famer does not come to the Lehigh Valley often, so purchase your space now.

"As we celebrate the tenth year of the Justin Sheftel tournament, we wanted to have this be a special year for all of us. Having Steve Carlton attend is really exciting for all of those who play, volunteer, and come to watch the games. We feel we hit one out of the park and we hope you will partake in the day's activities, watch some games, sample the mocktails, and see Steve," says Linda Sheftel.

Some activities for the day include tie dye T-shirts, speed pitch contest, Home Run Derby, and the Mocktail contest with four mixologists concocting refreshing nonalcoholic summer drinks—all samples are free! A photo booth will be there mid-day for you to go by and get your photos taken for free. Food and drink will be available for purchase, silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and don’t forget Trixie’s Treats.

Happy Birthday

Almond Butter Cupcakes with Mocha Buttercream Frosting

Cooking with

Recipe courtesy of pastryaffair.com.

Almond Butter Cupcakes 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. salt 1 cup milk ½ cup canola oil 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1 tbsp. white vinegar (or lemon juice) ½ cup smooth almond butter

•Preheat oven to 350° F. Line your cupcake tin with baking cups.

•In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Stir in the milk, oil, vanilla extract, vinegar, and almond butter until smooth.

•Divide batter evenly between baking cups, filling about ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick can come out clean when inserted. Allow the cupcakes to cool before frosting them.

TCG Rating 3½ out of 5 spreadable. If frosting is too stiff, add more milk until your consistency is spreadable.

The good thing about these cupcakes is: Almond butter is good for you. Now you can eat them somewhat guilt-free! These little gems were my first try making cupcakes and frosting from scratch, and they turned out pretty well. Unfortunately, I had to use ground coffee instead of the espresso powder for the frosting. I also only baked for about 13 minutes using my convection setting. A little tip for making the buttercream: prepare in a small bowl! (Should have listened to my mother…) Good luck and enjoy!

Mocha Buttercream ¼ cup (½ stick) butter, room temperature 1 tsp. espresso powder ¼ cup cocoa powder Pinch of salt 2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp. milk

PAWS Barn Hunt

Submitted by Robin Teets It's time for the dogs to have some fun. You don't need any experience to give the new sport of Barn Hunt a try. Big or small, pure bred or good old All American—dogs dig, tunnel, and climb through bales of straw to find stuff. It makes for a rollicking good time for everyone. On July 5 at the American Legion (201 E. 5th Street in East Stroudsburg), we will have a Barn Hunt to benefit Pocono Animal Welfare Society. You can find an entry form at the PAWS website (fill it out and save time) or show up at 9:30 a.m. on July 5 where we will take entries until our limit of 100 runs is reached. Entries are $10 each. Food will be available for purchase and

you can then take your dog for a romp on the trails of Zacharias Pond Park. For more information, you can email Rteets@ptd.net or call Robin at 570-4761950.
