From the Editor’s Desk

Joe Korba As I type this column, it is sunny and nearly 80 degrees outside. I can’t tell you how nice it is to write those words after the long winter that spring struggled to pull us out of. I finally got my vegetables all planted this weekend, so hopefully the nights stay warm enough to keep the frost away. Honestly, there isn’t much I like better than a sunny summer afternoon listening to the Phillies’ game and making steaks on the grill. Especially after being snowbound for so many months.

This is our Memorial Day edition, and all of us here at the Gazette would like to say a sincere thanks to all those who sacrifice so much in service to our country.

As always, I hope you all enjoy this one.

Meet the Staff

On Memorial Day, we remember our fallen heroes and celebrate their courage and sacrifice. Pop culture paints heroes as masked men in capes, but it takes so much more than brute strength and speed to be a true hero.

Name one person you know personally or wish you could meet, living or dead, who defines the word “hero” for you.

Joe Korba, Associate Publisher: This was a tough one for me, as I consider so many people to be heroic and I am inspired by stories of heroism every day. One that has resonated with me recently is the bravery and sacrifice of Malala Yousafzai, a young lady from Pakistan, who advocates for human rights in the face of violent oppression. In 2012, a masked Taliban gunman boarded a school bus she was on and asked for her by name. The would-be assassin then pointed a .45 at her pointblank and fired three times, hitting her in the face.

All of this because their oppressive regime found Malala's advocacy for women's education on blog posts and other writings so threatening. They tried to silence her words with bullets. Somehow, Malala survived and refused to be cowed. If anything, she's become even more vocal and resolute, even with death threats against her and her family. She's a living symbol of how powerful and righteous ideals can't be silenced by violence and oppression.

Danielle Tepper, Publishing Assistant: There has been a multitude of heroic historical figures, soldiers, and firefighters throughout the years— but I always go for the underdogs. She’s my absolute favorite celebrity and I think she turns the definition on its head a bit, but I think Ellen DeGeneres qualifies as a hero. She changes lives on her show nearly every day whether it be by handing people who are struggling financially a new car or a college education, rewarding strangers on the street with cash for kindness, or bringing soldiers home to surprise their families.

She paved the way for LGBT celebrities afraid to come out in the public eye. She cares deeply

for animals and donates selflessly to causes she believes in. And she promotes kindness and laughter every single day. As her show’s new slogan states, “You never know what funny can do.”To visit her show is at the top of my bucket list and I would probably be one of those idiots crying in my seat.

Tony Pisco, Art Director: My grandfather, Roy Herrington, was in World War II. While he wasn't able to serve on the front lines, he did his duty as a driver, which just shows you that any kind of service is a help for the greater good.

Alice Wanamaker, Publishing Assistant: When I think of my heroes, so many personal friends and family members come to mind; it's hard to pick just one. I try to stop and shake hands with and personally thank every veteran or active duty soldier I see. I would like to continue to meet more and thank them for their service—and for being my hero!

Donna Bachman, Accounting Manager: My hero is my husband. He is not only a brave individual, but he dares to be different. Courage, spark, strength, and concern for the well being of all makes him truly awesome.

Tyler Trumbauer, Staff Writer: This may seem like the stereotypical answer, but to me, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. defines the word hero. He had a mission and he was not going to rest until he achieved his desired world where everyone could live together, peacefully, regardless of race.

Dr. King was willing to do anything to stand up for what he believed in, even if that meant spending nights in prison. Dr. King was an outstanding individual who overcame many obstacles and paved the way for the world we live in today because he knew it was the right thing to do. MLK was a hero to many when he was alive and he lives on, with his heroics, to this day.

Happy Birthday Ray Reuter - 72 on April 30 Kirsten Leskowich - 20 on May 2

A Love Story

Page 7

Submitted by SHARI NOCTOR Gary and Judy Battenfield’s marriage was a true love story. Gary was diagnosed at 59 years old with stomach cancer. He was already a prostate cancer survivor. He never complained. Never a “Why me?” Judy never felt burdened by taking care of Gary. She did it happily. Gary was so courageous in his battle. Unfortunately, he passed away five days after his 60th birthday in 2007.

Last year, Judy was talking to her family about how much they loved watching the sunset. While battling his cancer, Gary and Judy would drive off to find a place where they could watch the sunset.

This was very comforting to Gary.

Judy’s son-in-law, Joe Ricker, was so touched by Judy’s story that he started writing a poem. Joe eventually sent his poem to a recording studio in Nashville to have it turned into a song. Joe was not sure what to expect, but the end result was better than he ever imagined. Two versions of the song were recorded.

Amy Ricker, Judy’s daughter and Joe’s wife, is the Chair of the “Rambo Relayers Team” for the Relay For Life of Whitehall. She formed the team in 2008 to honor her dad. He never got to meet his three grandchildren, Collin, Joseph and Anna.

Amy’s family loves to Relay because it gives them

a chance to truly remember Gary and reflect on his courageous battle. This year, there are 12 members on their team. Over the last few years, they have raised over $50,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Please come to the Whitehall Relay For Life June 20-21 at 12 noon at the Whitehall High School football stadium and meet the Battenfield family.

Both versions of the song “Follow the Sunset” can be downloaded at www.CDbaby.com and www. bandcamp.com and on iTunes. Rambo Relayers will be selling copies of the song at the Whitehall Relay.

Quota Club To Raise Money For Defibrillator

Submitted by MARIAN OPRE The Northampton Quota will hold a yard sale to raise money for a Northampton Police defibrillator on June 7 from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Canal Park Pavilion in Northampton. The police are often the first responders at a scene and having a defibrillator readily available could make all the difference for a victim.

The Quota Club is a local service group with an emphasis on hearing and speech and disadvantaged women and children. The club does several local service projects each year. They are getting ready for a hearing awareness project in the community.

You can help the local police by cleaning out closets and participating. Call Judy at 610-264-9786 to reserve your space. Note: Northampton friends, the Historical Society and the Food Bank, are having yard sales the same day, so come out and shop.

Women’s Clothing Swap A Success

Submitted by MICHELLE RABER A big thanks to Jessica Ballas, Licensed Massage Therapist, for her recent donation of $150 to the Northern Lehigh Community Center from her third annual women’s clothing swap.

Society members Shirley Eckhart, and Beverly Putt with decorated cake at grand opening.

Submitted by BEVERLY PUTT The grand opening of the Lehigh Township Historical Society's Centre addition was held Sunday, May 4. Many visitors browsed through the historical centre and enjoyed the good conversation and refreshments. A keepsake

Friedens Fire Co.

magnet and special handouts were given to visitors. The society thanks everyone for his or her support and compliments.

The planning of the addition started in 2007 when the main building was finished and actual work began in 2012. Many local contractors and businesses helped to bring the project to completion and we thank them for their work. It was a goal of the society for seven years to expand and provide more space for memorabilia, an office area, a meeting room, etc. Besides the memorabilia, the historical centre is becoming a source of research for residents to search family trees, check maps, etc. and the archives area includes all types of information and pictures about the area.

If you were unable to visit during the grand opening, the historical centre is open the second and fourth Sundays of each month from 1 to 4 p.m. until October. Come in and look through the many albums of pictures and information available and note the many changes and new displays at the centre.

Besides the open house dates, you are welcome to arrange a visit by appointment for a family or a group at anytime by calling 610-767-5989. For more information concerning the society, you may call 610-440-0151.

Slatington Pharmacy Recognized with Second National Award

Submitted by JULIE HARHART I recently had the opportunity to congratulate Bechtel’s Pharmacy upon having the distinction as the only pharmacy in Pennsylvania to receive two national Bowl of Hygeia Awards. The award is part of a national awards program sponsored by the American Pharmacists Association and the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations.

It is awarded to a pharmacist who demonstrates sustained commitment to community service, apart for his or her specific identification as a pharmacist, which reflects well on the profession of pharmacy.

Slatington is fortunate to have a familyowned pharmacy that is so dedicated to serving the community. Achieving such recognition demonstrates Bechtel’s Pharmacy understands success takes more than a good business plan, it takes caring enough about the people you serve to get involved and try and make a difference.

The Bechtels do this through various professional and community endeavors. Edward J. Bechtel, RPh, won the Bowl of Hygeia Award in 2013, and his father, Joseph G. Bechtel, RPh, won the award in 1994.

Special Celebration Of American Song Submitted by LETA THOMPSON The Bach & Handel Chorale is pulling out all the stops for its 30th Anniversary Celebration.

Since its humble beginnings in 1984, the Bach & Handel Chorale has developed into a vibrant, committed, and acclaimed chorale organization.

It has helped to shape cultural awareness in the Jim Thorpe community as well as in Carbon and the surrounding counties. Their first concert was performed on December 14, 1984 at the Mauch Chunk Opera House with a Festival Orchestra formed through Maestro Randall Perry’s friendships with colleagues from Wilkes University. The Chorale is pleased to return to its place of origin, the Mauch Chunk Opera House, for a unique 30th Anniversary Celebration.

Area concert goers are used to hearing the Chorale perform classical works of the Masters.

This May, they will be surprised and delighted by a different musical genre, Dixieland Jazz. The Bach & Handel Chorale is joining forces with the local Perseverance Jazz Band. This band has been performing for audiences in Carbon County and the surrounding area for many years. Founded by Henry Long, Sr., they play the Dixieland style of jazz as well as many other old time favorite styles.

The instruments of the band include trumpet, clarinet, sax, piano trombone, bass, and drums.

The band is in demand for parades, parties,

banquets, and all types of celebrations. The special concert,“A Celebration of American Song,” features the combined efforts of both the Bach & Handel Chorale and the Perseverance Jazz Band.

It will take place Saturday, May 17 at the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe. Performances will be held at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Selections include “When the Saints Come Marchin’ In,”“The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Amazing Grace,” St. Louis Blues,”“You’ll Never Walk Alone,” and other favorites. Tickets are available at the Dimmick Library, Nutritional Needs, Sound Check Records, and online at www.mauchchunkoperahouse.org.

Farewell to Cristina

It’s old news at this point, but when I first heard about Sandra Oh‘s plans to leave Seattle Grace Mercy Death—or, as it’s lamely known these days, Grey-Sloan Memorial—my general reaction was, “Somebody sedate me!” (Episode 2x4. Anyone? Anyone?) Cristina Yang has been one of my favorite Grey’s characters from the moment she first arrived in the OR with a fiery hunger in her eyes. Always no BS but never cruel, I loved her matter-of-fact approach to life in the surgical wing and how she had the ability to zing you with a life lesson when you least expected it. They’ve been dragging out the “Farewell to Cristina” thing for what feels like months now, but we’ve finally reached that point. The emotional season finale airs tonight at 9 p.m. on ABC.

Here are five reasons Grey’s just won’t be the same without Dr. Yang: 1. Her ambition. Cristina never stopped reaching for the surgeon she knew she was destined to become … and made all our dreams seem lame by comparison. Be an entertainment reporter? Ha, and what, get paid to watch TV for a living? Yang wants to fix hearts. Game over.

2. Her confidence. Cristina always knew her potential. She worked hard for her brilliance and saw no shame in flaunting it. Did it sometimes get annoying? Pssht, you’re just jealous.

3. Her sensibility. Life is what it is, so man up. She made it look so easy, but often found her fellow interns/residents/attendings couldn’t quite get the hang of it.

4. Her passion. If only we could all be so self-assured … this particular gem is something we should all aspire to live by: “Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here and don’t give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You’re on your own. Be on your own.”

5. Her spontaneity. Important job interview? Performance review? Exam? First date?

Don’t stress! Just dance it out. And it wouldn’t hurt to also grab a bottle of tequila.

Perhaps most importantly, it was her friendship with fellow surgeon Meredith Grey that showed us how strong the bonds between women could grow. And even though they’ll now be separated, fans of the Twisted Sisters know one thing will never change:

Shonda Rhimes has said in interviews that she wants Grey’s to air forever and ever (or, at least as long as they still have stories to tell). It was recently picked up for an 11th season, putting it in the running to catch up to ER as the longest-running medical drama in TV history. I have yet to lose interest, which is great, but this inevitably means we’ll have to say goodbye to more of our favorites along the way. There are now only two of the original five interns left (hang in there, Karev). I, for one, am just looking forward to a finale that doesn’t include cancer, a bus accident, a mass shooting, a plane crash, or a hurricane. (You think the guys over at The Walking Dead have it bad…) Join the staff of Seattle Grace—because I refuse to call it anything else—tonight at 9 on ABC as we all bid a fond farewell to our favorite straight-shooting doctor, Cristina Yang.

Horoscopes ARIES—March 21 to April 20—Remember the old adage, “Do unto others as you wish done unto you.” It may never be truer than it is now. It is good to focus on the elderly in your life they need your reassurance.

TAURUS—April 21 to May 20—You may need to focus on one thing for a while and life will work itself out. Look at the here and now and handle what you can, one step at a time.

GEMINI—May 21 to June 20—You may have a lot of desire swimming around in your mind.

Listen to your heart and take the leap to make a dream project a reality this summer.

CANCER—June 21 to July 22—Waiting has never been your forte, but a little patience may pay off in the long run. Your efforts do not go unrecognized.

LEO—July 23 to Aug. 22—This is a great time of year to spark a new romance or rekindle the one you already have. Someone who has been admiring you from afar will be arriving in the coming days.

VIRGO—Aug. 23 to Sept. 22—Be very choosy who you associate with; people are not always as they seem on the outside. There are those who could damage your image.

LIBRA—Sept. 23 to Oct. 22—Get up, get dressed, brush your teeth, and fix your hair; good things are coming your way. Don’t turn down adventure that presents itself. Embrace changes.

SCORPIO—Oct. 23 to Nov. 22—Knowing what you want in life is half the battle. Keep fighting for what you want and continue moving in a positive direction.

SAGITTARIUS—Nov. 23 to Dec. 21—Listening to others could be your detriment. Remember your heart and soul and follow through with your dreams. The summer is all about inner happiness for you.

CAPRICORN—Dec. 22 to Jan. 19—If you know why you are green with envy, you have the ability to mimic what you see. You can become that which you desire if you focus on learning life lessons.

AQUARIUS—Jan. 20 to Feb. 18—Now is the time to get out and get moving. Winter bulge isn’t going to eliminate itself. Hitting the gym hard now may benefit you in the near future.

PISCES—Feb. 19 to March 20— Whether it is a bowl of ice cream or a cheesy taco you crave, do not hold back from indulging a little. Prepare the things that you find most enjoyable, including a vacation.

Joke CorneR Summer Job

For her summer job, my 18-year-old daughter arranged interviews at several day-care centers.

At one meeting, she sat down on one of the kiddie seats, no simple task for most people. The interview went well, and at the end, the day-care center director asked the standard question, "Can you give me one good reason we should hire you?" "Because I fit in the chairs." She got the job. http://www.jokes4us.com

Rescue Pet Meet Droopy

“Droopy is a 12-year-old Cocker Spaniel who came to us as an owner surrender.

Droopy loves kids and humans of all kinds—he’s super kind and utterly sweet. He is a low maintenance pup with a very quiet voice. He almost never barks. Droopy is currently in a foster home as the only dog, but his foster frequently has other dogs in the home and Droopy has gotten along with them fine. He’s never been exposed to cats and can be cat-tested upon request. Droopy loves going for car rides. This senior still has plenty of spunk; he loves going for walks and really has the energy level of a much younger dog. He is neutered, microchipped, and his vaccines are current. He is negative for heart worm and Lyme’s.” —Peaceable Kingdom Adoptions are held at Peaceable Kingdom every Saturday from 10-3 at 1049 MacArthur Rd. in Whitehall.

Tiny Hamsters Eating Tiny Burritos

When the Denizen Company’s YouTube channel HelloDenizen (“A Different Kind of Comedy”) published their second video Tuesday, April 29, it’s hard to say if the social media marketing and content company could have predicted the media frenzy that followed. The video depicted—what else?—an animal doing something impossibly cute. The title, while self-explanatory, prompted the exact same reaction from over 6,170,000 people: “I gotta see that!” And so, “Tiny Hamsters Eating Tiny Burritos” exploded across social media and got picked up by innumerable “news” outlets.

America’s sweetheart and outspoken animal lover, Ellen DeGeneres, even Tweeted about it. It’s not hard to see why; it’s pretty darn cute. View the clip at www. youtube.com/user/HelloDenizen and stay tuned for more tiny furballs eating tiny food, as the channel has asked viewers for more #TinyHamsterIdeas.

Northampton High School FBLA Attends The State Leadership Conference In Hershey, Pennsylvania Submitted by EVAN CHUSS Between the dates of April 6 through 9, Northampton High School FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) attended the State Leadership Conference in Hershey, Pa. This year, 19 members qualified to attend this conference where over 5,000 people from across Pennsylvania come together to compete and show who deserves the award of best in their category.

The conference this year was held at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center. While at the conference, members competed in their event.

Some of the events that Northampton students participated in this year were Entrepreneurship, Public Speaking, Public Service Announcement, Spreadsheet Applications, Help Desk, Business Communication, Hospitality Management, Personal Finance, and Business Calculations.

While no Northampton member qualified this year to attend the National Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, two groups ranked fifth in the state and were recognized on stage.

Jared Schreck and Vasil Hlinka participated in the Entrepreneurship event. After placing top ten in the state on their test, they moved onto a case study. With only 15 minutes to prepare before presenting to a panel of judges, they discussed what to say and presented confidently. Their

presentation earned them the title of fifth in the state.

Teague Smith and Gabrielle Gallo participated in the Public Service Announcement event. After presenting, they were recognized on stage as the fifth place winner in the state.

Besides competitive events, a few other members received special recognition and awards for their leadership and dedication to FBLA throughout their high school career. Northampton chapter secretary, Stephen Druckenmiller was awarded on stage with the Keystone Leadership Award.

Northampton chapter president Evan Chuss was also recognized; he was also awarded the Keystone Leadership Award. In addition, he won the Membership Madness Award for recruiting more than 10 members to join FBLA. Finally, Evan was inducted into the National Business Honor Society, an organization for FBLA members who excel in their grades and are preparing to go into business after college.

Northampton FBLA had a great year. They participated in many community service projects and will be participating in more before the end of the school year. NAHS FBLA is looking forward to another great year next year and for many years to come.

-Florence Baver May 25, 1961 The ‘Pennsylvania Folklife Magazine’ just came in the mail very recently. As always, there are a lot of good articles in it, written about our Dutch folklife. The first article is about things made from tin, such as a hanging pie cupboard or a skimming ladle used when making cheese, and also other thing. Now I said, “Hanging pie cupboard.”

Perhaps you say, “Pie cupboard.” That is also what it is, a cupboard where you put pies or ‘Boi’, till

you serve them on the table. Our hanging pie cupboard hung from the beams in the cellar.

There was fly screening wire around all four sides.

Since it hung [from the beams], it was correct to say, “Hanging.” If it was [just] a cupboard, then it would have four legs [under it] and stand on the ground floor. The old type of pie cupboard and hanging cupboard did not have fly screening wire around them. The sides were made from tin. That would have been too humid for the pies, so the old tinsmiths made holes in the sides with nails or a chisel. That left air flow through and the pies stayed fresh. The old fellows did not hammer in holes at random. They created a flower [pattern] with the holes and that looked very nice. Most times baking was done just once a week. The baked good was carried to the cellar by the dozen.

Think on it a little, where your mom put the pies till she was ready to serve them on the table. The old things are remembered by one when they read such articles, which are written in the ‘Folklife Magazine’. Four dollars a year is not much when we consider what a memory that it brings one to again read such things. If you think the magazine is not worth your money, just read the article from Mary Layton, near Slatedale, and the rye bread she bakes. The pictures are enough to make the mouth water so much that the drooling will run on the floor.

[The ‘PA Folklife Magazine’ was published by the PA Folklife Society, an outgrowth of the PA Dutch Folklore Center at F & M College in Lancaster. That center was started in 1949 by Drs. (PhD) J. William Frey, Alfred Shoemaker and Don Yoder to study the folk culture of the PA Dutch. They later changed the name to PA Folklife Society to be more inclusive of all Folklife in Pennsylvania.

When that society went bankrupt in the 1960’s, Ursinus College took over the publication of the magazine, managing their folklife collections and running the Kutztown Folk Festival, which those three doctors also had started. The magazine was published quarterly for about 46 years, ceasing in the late 1990’s.]

Submitted by ROBERT STETTNER Pleasant but windy conditions greeted the 30 disc golfers in this year’s Victory Park Open Disc Golf Tournament. Disc golfers from all over the Lehigh Valley and beyond came to Slatington Saturday, May 3 to participate in the ninth annual event. Trophies and gift certificates were given to golfers with the lowest scores in three categories and prize money was given out to the three lowest scores in the pro division. Lunch was provided to all participants courtesy of the Slatington Parks & Recreation Commission. After regulation, there was a three-way tie for second and third place in the 18 and over category between Mark Heydt, Eli Anenoglou, and Tim Hadik. Mark Heydt and Eli Anenoglou prevailed in a two-hole tiebreak.

In the 40 and over category, Andrew Felker and Scott Richie were tied at 58 for third place after regulation. In an epic four extra holes tiebreaker, Scott Richie finally prevailed to grab third place.

The Slatington Parks & Recreation Commission would like to thank the following tournament sponsors and patrons: Slatington Beverage, Slatington Lions Club, Steckel & Stopp Attorneys At Law, Sule's Collision Center, PA Slatecraft, Sheba Do Graphics, NL Events Committee, and

Harhart To Host Veterans Information Expo May 22 In Walnutport

Submitted by TRICIA LEHMAN In an effort to provide important information to area veterans and honor those who have faithfully served our country, state Rep. Julie Harhart (R-Lehigh/Northampton) is hosting a Veterans Information Expo Thursday, May 22 from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.) at the Diamond Fire Company Bingo Hall at 110 Main St. in Walnutport.

“I have been providing veterans outreach services through my district offices for several months now, and it has become clear to me there are many services, programs and benefits available which are not being adequately shared with or promoted to our veteran community,” said Harhart. “This expo will have a lot of helpful information, as well as provide me the opportunity to honor the men and women who have loyally served our country.”

The event is open to veterans from all wars and women who worked in factories that produced munitions and war supplies during World War II. Certificates will also be presented to veterans who provide their information to Harhart’s office in advance of the expo by going online at www.

JulieHarhart.com and clicking on the “Veterans

Information Expo” banner or by calling her Slatington office at 610-760-9805.

Some of the information shared with veterans during the expo will assist veterans with obtaining information and initiating compensation claim work and pensions; provide enrollment information and applications for the VA Hospital; and provide information on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Veterans will also have the opportunity to learn about the VA’s mobile veteran service van, Honor Flight Philadelphia, Hope for Veterans, veterans employment opportunities and the Veterans Mentor Program.

“In addition to all the information being provided and certificates being awarded, we will also be collecting old and worn American flags for proper disposal. In addition, there will be a table available for local veterans to display their service medals and area veteran service organizations will have special military displays for viewing,” said Harhart.“I encourage all veterans in the 183rd District to attend this event and take advantage of the many resources available to them.”

The expo is free to attend. For more information, go to www.JulieHarhart.com or contact her Slatington office at 610-760-9805.
