From The Editor’s Desk. Joe Korba This is our Mother’s Day issue. It’s strange to type that, as it’s hard for me to believe that it’s that time of year already. As time flies by it’s sometimes easy to take important people in our lives for granted. I always enjoy Mother’s Day because it provides a nice opportunity to slow down a little and take my Mom out to dinner (or brunch this year, I hate that word) to show my appreciation for all of the amazing guidance, love and direction she’s given me over the years.

I don’t know where I’d be without my mom, she’s certainly instilled much of what I’d consider my better personality characteristics – a love of the written word, healthy skepticism, a hunger for knowledge and travel and what I’d like to consider a decent work ethic. My first memories are reading Great Illustrated Classics with her, and I’d wager she was responsible for deciding to buy me an electric typewriter as a birthday present at a young age.

FEATURING: 8-13 - Special Mother’s Day Section

I couldn’t be more proud that my mother still has some of my early short-story attempts, including an illustrated book about an anthropomorphic pig superhero, and collects my published work – from my first front page as a newspaper reporter to the publication that you hold in your hands today. I wouldn’t have become a writer if I didn’t grow up in a home that nurtured imagination and held books, newspapers, and magazines in such high regard.

I was lucky to have her support during my younger years when I was sure I knew everything and recklessness was more or less my prime directive in decision-making. It’s easy to be embarrassed by your parents when you’re a teenager, especially when they’re smart enough that it’s hard to pull anything over on them. But, I couldn’t be more grateful now that I have the benefit of perspective. I know you’re reading this, so I just wanted to say, “I love you, Mom” and to let you know how thankful I am to have you in my life.

I hope all of you enjoy this issue, and take a moment to appreciate all of the important folks who helped shape your lives.

Chrissy’s Corner Nicole K. (senior): “I’m really annoyed about it because I would have been exempt from so many finals over the years.”

C

hrissy asked her fellow classmates how they felt about Northampton Area High School’s new policy. The policy would exclude some qualified students from having to take final exams.

Hannah B. (senior): “I think that it is more detrimental to the student than beneficial. Students need to learn how to study for big tests and finals are the best way to do that.”

Cassandra J. (senior): “I think it’s time they made the change, but I’m really frustrated that I had to take so many finals I could have been exempt from.”

aybe it’s the single serve proportions, perfect cake-to-icing ratio or approachability of this iconic treat, but America’s love affair with cupcakes is holding strong. These tasty treats can be adapted to any occasion, and whether it’s a favorite holiday, birthday bash, girl’s night out or just because, the color, sweetness and fun of cupcakes makes people smile.

Think of cupcakes as a blank canvas easily personalized with the right tools. For example, Wilton has products to make it easy for bakers and decorators of all skill levels to make their cupcakes amazing, no matter the occasion. Wilton’s new book, “Cupcakes!” is available at your nearest craft store and www.wilton.com, and show­ cases unique tips, techniques and products for swirling your way into cupcake greatness.

n Play

Dress Up. Add personality with playful baking cups — from vibrant stripes to pretty polka dots to festive flowers. Top off your favorite cupcakes with cookie decorations; try a Shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day or an apple for an unexpected teacher’s gift on the first day of school.

n Entice

with Icing. Play with icing color to add visual interest — think icy blue for a wintry treat or pale yellow for autumn. Sprinkles are an easy way to make icing sparkle. Sugar gems create an eyecatching crystal effect, and seasonal toppings add an extra special touch.

n It’s

Hip to be Square. Round out your cupcake repertoire with Wilton’s Square Cupcake Pan and baking cups; the square shape is a fresh take on everyone’s favorite treat.

Swirl Like a Pro

To prepare, start with cupcakes that have been baked according to package directions, in the baking cup of your choice, and fully cooled. Place a coupler and a large round tip (like a 12 or 2A) on your Wilton decorating bag; fill with the icing of your choice.

1 Hold the decorating tip approximately 1/4 inch above the cup­cake at a 90 degree angle to the cupcake.

Starting at the center, pipe a large dot of icing onto cupcake top.

2 Pull the dot of icing to the outer edge of cupcake and begin piping a spiral of icing around the cupcake top, working inward and upward.

3 Once at the center, stop pressure and pull tip away. It’s as easy as that.

Creative Mother’s Day Crafts (Family Features) For Mother’s Day, celebrate the nurturing nature of mom with a specially painted flower pot that holds her favorite herbs or flowers.

The Chalkboard Herb Pot and Mommy’s Favorite Flower Pot projects from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores don’t require any special skills, so anyone can make a customized gift for mom, grandma, or any other special mom in their life.

Tips for Using Chalkboard Paint • Chalkboard paint comes in classic black, but also comes in other colors as well.

• Make sure it’s completely dry before trying to write on it.

• Some chalkboard paints require you to condition the paint with chalk before using it. Read label instructions carefully.

Tips for Decorating • Using spray paint and hot glue guns may require adult supervision.

• Give the kids creative control – it may not turn out perfectly neat, but it will be perfect for mom.

• Not sure what to paint on the flower pot? Let the kids dip a hand or foot into the paint and put prints onto the pot. Or, cut fun shapes out of sponges or potatoes and let them stamp around the pot.

You can find more ideas, project guides and supplies at www.joann.com.

The Scoop

By Candi Lynn Have you ever wondered what happens when a dog first arrives at a shelter? If the dog is a stray, it will be scanned for a microchip. Hopefully, if one is found, the dog can be reunited with its owner. Other shelters will also be contacted to see if anyone is looking for their pet.

If their owner surrenders the dog, they will have to fill out forms giving information on their former pet, reason for surrendering him, age/ breed/behavior history and veterinary records.

While the dog is at the shelter, it will be neutered, given necessary vaccinations, behavior will be evaluated and other health issues addressed. Some shelters even microchip pets brought to them. Dedicated volunteers who feed the animals, walk them, and give them lots of love and care to adjust to their new environment operate almost all shelters.

Shelters will post the dogs on their website, Petfinder, attend events with the dog and meet with people about adopting it to the right home.

Why adopt from a shelter? Adoption saves lives.

Many dogs end up in the system through no fault of their own. Adoption fees are very reasonable compared to a pet store or breeder. If going to a shelter to adopt, always research what type will best fit your lifestyle and ask shelter staff lots of questions about temperament, energy level, etc.

Check out your local shelters - the love of your life, canine-style, may be waiting for you!

Northwestern Students Partner with LCTI On Tuesday, December 3, 2012, students from the Lehigh Career and Technical Institute began work on site to replace a deteriorating fueling station shed that had been part of the bus yard landscape for many years. Mr. John Wynn, Building Trades Occupation teacher, along with 12 of his students, from 8 sending districts, began the project back in November, pre-constructing the new structure at LCTI and ultimately finishing up the work in April 24, 2013. Our LCTI student workers on the project are: Daniel Munoz, Northern Lehigh Anthony Stragratanio, Northern Lehigh Nicholas Kaercher, Northern Lehigh Maleek Barrett, Dieruff Robert Johnson, Catasauqua Bryan Velez-Morales, William Allen Adam Berkebile, Southern Lehigh Anthony Cowden, Northwestern Lehigh Austin Henry, Northwestern Lehigh Ethan Koons, Parkland Brandon Lee Moll, Northern Lehigh Sebastian Czubek, Emmaus.

Students began construction and erecting the new structure Wednesday, December 4th. Our goal was to build a new fuel shed to provide inclement weather protection for our bus drivers while refueling their vans and buses.

Forged out of a strong working relationship between our two schools, the project presented numerous opportunities and benefits for both the Northwestern Lehigh School District and LCTI students. Building Trades students benefited educationally through their conceptualizing, planning, and cost analysis of the project, prior to the procurement of materials. Once on site, our LCTI students really showcased their construction and fabrication skills in making our new shed a reality. While on site students were given opportunity to provide input to the design and color scheme of the finished product, leading to the selection of a black and gold design, reflective of Northwestern Lehigh’s tiger pride!

Northwestern Lehigh School District is grateful for the efforts of our Building Trades students, LCTI Administration, and staff, particularly Mr. Wynn for his coordination and outreach efforts throughout the course of bringing the project to fruition. As a result of everyone’s hard work, we will have a great long-life product built solidly on LCTI pride.

Cryptoquote

The objective is to solve the mystery quote below by cracking the secret code. The quote is deciphered by replacing one letter for another (ex. A may actually be B). HINT: One way to start decoding is to find common letters (E,T,R) and find letter patterns such as double TT’s.

This quote comes from Nancy’s son. She, unfortunately never saw her boy make it to the White House.

Last Issue Cryptaquote: In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.

Stamp Out Hunger!

Local members of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will Stamp Out Hunger on Saturday, May 11, 2013, by collecting non-perishable food donations from their regular postal routes and delivering them to Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania for distribution to agencies serving area families in need in six counties. Letter Carriers will be aided by volunteers from Teamsters Local #773, the Rutgers Alumni Club of the Lehigh Valley, and the Northampton County Probation Department for this one day food drive event, the largest in the nation.

To participate in Stamp Out Hunger, postal customers should their leave factory-sealed, non-

perishable food items in a visible place by their mailboxes before their regular delivery on Saturday, May 11th. Donations should be in a sturdy, clearlymarked bag so Letter Carriers know to collect it.

Truck drivers from the Postal Service and Teamsters Local #773 will then make a special delivery of the donations to Second Harvest Food Bank or one of its local member agencies, where it will be inspected and sorted for distribution to where it is so desperately needed.

Items most needed by Second Harvest include cereal, peanut butter, pasta, rice, tuna, and canned soup, fruits, or vegetables. Non-food items such as diapers and personal care items like shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant can also be donated. For safety reasons, non-glass containers are preferred.

Last year, Letter Carriers delivered more than 370,000 pounds of food to Second Harvest and its member agencies breaking the previous year’s record collection.

Bike the Trail!

Northern Lehigh Community Center, along with Blue Mt. Sports from Jim Thorpe are encouraging citizens to get out and use the trails by providing rental bikes and snacks at the Slatington Trail Head.

Bike rentals are slated to be available on Memorial Day weekend May 25 – May 27 from 10 a.m. – 4p.m.

The two groups will also be out June 22 – Labor Day on the weekends with rentals and snacks.

Turning The Knife

While assembling furniture, Liz asked her friend’s six-year-old son, Ricky, to bring her a screwdriver.

‘Do you want a ‘Daddy’ screwdriver or a ‘Mommy’ screwdriver?’ Ricky politely inquired.

Confused by the question, Liz responded with, ‘Bring me a ‘mommy’ screwdriver.’

Ricky returned and handed her a butter knife.

Five signs that you’re a mother...

1. You count the number of sprinkles on each kid’s cupcake to make sure they are equal.

2. You have time to shave only one leg at at time.

3. You hide in the bathroom to be alone.

4. You hire a baby sitter because you haven’t been out with your husband in ages, then you spend half the night talking about and checking on the kids.

5. You find yourself cutting your husband’s sandwiches into unusual shapes.

‘Iron Man’ Standing Guard in Danielsville

By Joe Korba If you’ve driven through Danielsville on Mountain View Drive you might have noticed a large, steel, robot-looking fellow standing watch across from the Danielsville Post Office.

You probably recognize the stainless steel suit as the first manifestation of the Marvel Superhero Iron Man (the one who fought his way out of the kidnapper’s cave in the first film, and made his debut appearance in Jack Kirby’s Tales of

NORTHAMPTON VFW CATERING SERVICE

Suspense #39, way back in 1963).

The man behind the superhero suit isn’t international playboy billionaire Tony Stark, but rather Danielsville sculptor and artist Charlie Applegate.

Mr. Applegate has been working in various mediums for decades, including woodcarving, painting, and Jack Kirby's Iron Man sculpture. His home debut in March 1963. and property are a testament to his hobby and passion for the arts.

Accompanying Iron Man in his front yard is an abstract stainless steel horse sculpture, but most of Mr. Applegate’s work is more realistic and detail-oriented. He has numerous nature-themed works including an exhaustively rendered eagle snatching a fish from a pond and even some sculptures of dinosaurs and an immaculate wooden statue based on the fantasy cryptid, a fire-breathing dragon.

The story behind the Iron Man suit is decidedly more common than the genesis in the comic book series. Mr. Applegate didn’t need to escape captors who were holding him hostage in the caves of Afghanistan, but was commissioned to create the suit for Joe’s Used Auto Parts in New Ringgold. “A woman called me up and asked me if I could build an Iron Man,” Mr. Applegate recalls. It took Mr. Applegate over ten months, working on weekends, to complete the project.

Applegate’s Iron Man stands over six feet tall and weighs an estimated 300lbs. It’s truly an impressive work to behold and will be displayed in Danielsville for a few more weeks before being transported to it’s permanent home in New Ringgold.

Trees, grass and molds are the main culprits during allergy season. In North America about 10% of the population suffers from springtime allergies. To limit the aggravation caused by pollen, here are a few suggestions. When planning activities, pay attention to the pollen and the mold forecasts. Pollen concentrations are typically highest in the late morning and early afternoon. Outside, sunglasses and hats can help keep pollen out of the eyes and limit its effects. Inside, keep windows and doors closed during the high pollen periods. Finally, there are a number of OTC and prescription medications available to ease allergy symptoms. ASK OUR PHARMICIST FOR A RECOMMENDATION!

Q & A with Chris Deppe, of Becky’s Drive In

By Joe Korba I had the opportunity to ask Chris Deppe a few questions about the new digital projection system installed this season at Becky’s Drive In in Berlinsville.

His answers are below.

What are the benefits of a digital projection system as opposed to the older film projectors?

The biggest benefit is the quality of the picture/ sound. No more scratches or dust spots, and the image will not deteriorate and become faded over time. The quality will remain the same after Dean & Nick Deppe thousands of replays. Also, the new format saves Digital Projector at observing their new us a lot of time. Previously it would take about 2 Becky's Drive In projector's 'test' screen. hours to splice new movies together. Now it only takes about a half hour to "ingest" the new movies 3D film; although if the technology allowed it, we onto our servers. would be thrilled to show 3D movies.

Are you capable of showing 3D Movies?

Will you be keeping the old intermission If not, do you foresee that possibility in the trailers, like the concession stand reel and the future? pic mosquito repellant reel?

At this point we do not have the capability We're lucky because the technician who to show 3D movies. It would require a special installed our new projectors, Tim Reed, has been polarizing lens. No drive-in (to our knowledge) working the past few years on digitizing vintage has the capability at this point. It's still uncertain intermission trailers. We've already showed whether or not a 3D movie can be viewed through many of the old trailers the first two weekends, a car's windshield. Also, many of the parking and we'll be adding many more over the next spots at the drive-in are positioned at an angle few weeks including the pic mosquito ad and the that (most likely) would not work when viewing a dancing hot dogs.

Touch of Dutch 8 Moi, 1958 Fersammling waar widder Drump bei uns die Woch. Am Freidaag Owet waare mer an der Hambarig Fersammling. Des waar widder im grosse Feldhaus, wo mer nix heere un verschteh kann, wann mer net die Ohre schpitze kann, wie en Yaaghund.

Es Schwetzes un Singes schallt so arrig, as mer net weess eb’s doch am runner odder nuff am Geh iss.

Awwer der Program waar arrig gut. Der Parre Rahn hot widder sei Deiwelsschtreech verzehlt un no hot en Drupp vun der Virginsville Grange en Deitsch Gschpiel gewwe, as gheese hot „So Geht’s Ewwer,“ gschriwwe beim Parre Ressler. Es Esse waar arrig gut un alliebber hot so viel ghatt, as er esse hot kenne, awwer es iss net uff der Disch gschtellt warre, wie mir Deitsche gwehnt sin. Alliebber hot sei Deller redi gfillt grickt un des nemmt yuscht ebbes weck vun der Deitsche Mode, wo mir gwehnt sin. Wann mer aa all satt ghatt hen, es iss yuscht die Idea, as mer net selvert aus de Schissle schaufle kann, as ebbes wecknemmt vun der ganze Esserei.

Die Drupp, wo Deitsch schreibt fer die Zeiting iss glee. Mer waare noch immer schtolz fer bei daerre Drupp sei. Es iss der ‚Busch Knippel’ ( der Parre Rupp), in der Pennsburg Zeiting, nau der Charles Ettinger, as geht im Morning Call beim Naame ‚Roving Reporter,’ schreibt deel vun seim Column

in Deitsch, zidder as der Pumpernickel uns verlosse hot misse, awwer nau sin mer arrig froh fer sehne, as en neier Schreiwer gschtart hot schreiwe fer der Kutztown Partiot beim Naame, ‚Beindhiwwel Pete.’

Des iss der Herman Wright vun Allentown, wo mer lanne hen kenne, wie mer in die Hochschul gange sin Yaahre zerick. Er waar als eener vun der Kalls, as die glee ‚Berksy’ grunnt hot vun Reading noch Slatington. Er hot schun viel Zeit gschpent unser Deitsch Volkslewe lewendich zu mache un mer sin so froh, as der Patriot ihn aagenumme hot, as en Deitscher Schreiwer. Der Herman hot schun viel Deitsche Gedichde gschriwwe un aa viel Scheir Schtanne abgekoppiet, wann er draus im Land rumfaahrt. Der ‚Kasper Huffnagel’ vun Lebanon iss aa en Deitscher Schreiwer. Des iss der Parre Pierce Swope. Wie gsaagt, die Drupp vun Deitsche Schreiwe iss glee un mer hoffe, as en yungi Blumm mol ee Daag aafangt uffkumme.

-Florence Baver May 8, 1958 ‘Fersammling’ was the trump card for us again this week. On Friday evening we were at the Hamburg Fersammling. [Florence’s Bushkill Fersammling was just the week before this one.] It was again held in the big field house where one can not hear or understand anything if he don’t keep a sharp ear open like a hound dog. The talking and singing reverberated so bad we didn’t know if the sound was coming or going. But the program was very good.

Pastor Clarence Rahn again talked about his devilish pranks and then a group from the Virginville Grange presented a Dutch play, called “So it always goes,” written by Pastor Ressler. [I believe that grange still presents Dutch plays.] The food was very good and everyone had as much as he could eat, but the fare was not placed on the table like is customary for us Dutch. Everyone received his plate already filled, and this takes something away from the Dutch style to which we are accustomed. Even if we all had enough food, it is just the idea that we could not ‘shovel’ it out of the bowls ourselves that took away from the banquet.

The group that writes Dutch articles for the newspapers is small. We were always proud to be counted among that group. There is the ‘Clodhopper,’ Pastor William Rupp, in the Pennsburg paper [He died in 1966.], and now Charles Ettinger, who uses the pen name in the Morning call, ‘The Roving Reporter,’ writes some of his columns in Dutch since ‘Pumpernickel’ left us [William S. Troxell died in August, 1957.]. But now we are very happy to see that a new writer started for the Kutztown Patriot using the pen name, ‘Pinehill Pete.’ He is Herman Wright from Allentown, with whom we could have become acquainted as we went up to high school years ago. He was one of the fellows who ran the ‘Berksey’ train from Reading to Slatington. [It ran through Wanamakers, New Tripoli, Germansville and Slateford on the way to Slatington.] He already

spent much time bringing our Dutch traditions and culture to life and we are happy that the Patriot took him on as a Dutch writer. He already wrote many Dutch poems and also copied the Hex signs from barns when he is out driving around the countryside.

‘Casper Horseshoe Nail’ from Lebanon is also a Dutch writer.

He is Pastor Pierce Swope [18841968]. As said, the group of Dutch writers is small and we hope that a young ‘flower’ starts to spring up once one day.

Extra Point

by Tyler Trumbauer

Parkland on the Prowl for Playoffs

Heading in to a season with four sophomores and seven juniors on a roster, a team isn’t expecting an abundance of success. When one couples that youth with pitching inexperience, they are looking at just staying competitive instead of hunting for championships.

However, someone forgot to tell the Parkland Trojans’ baseball team all of that.

Through Monday the Trojans owned a 7-1 record in the competitive Lehigh Valley Conference and a 11-2 overall record this spring. The Trojans have also quailed for the district tournament and are primed for a league playoff appearance as well. Even with the aforementioned personnel breakdowns, 11th year head coach Tony Galucy isn’t completely surprised with their start.

“Yes [I’m surprised] and at the same time, no [I’m not]. We have talent on this team, but we are very young at spots too. Six of our pitchers are underclassmen. It is taking us some time to figure out our best lineup.”

Galucy said. He continued, “I would have to say our pitching has been the biggest surprise. We have been struggling at the plate this year, but our pitching and defense has allowed us to win some close games.”

Galucy mentioned that pitching is a surprise to

him and it is to everyone. They have only one senior in Tyler Duff who has actually logged innings on the mound this season. Duff, who is 3-0 and has a 0.93 ERA this season, has emerged as the ace of the staff. Galucy had nothing, but praise for his pitchers in an e-mail last week. “For the most part they have been very successful. Since they are very young and inexperienced I thought it may take them some time to adjust to varsity baseball. So far they have exceeded our expectations.”

Although underclassmen are the underlying storyline of the Trojans’ season, they have a few upperclassmen that are leading the way. Junior pitcher Alex Flynn is 3-0 as of Monday with a 0.66 ERA. Senior catcher Damin Muth is hitting .529 with 11 RBIs and junior outfielder Brad Vasilik has a .486 batting average and has crossed home plate 11 times this season.

The Trojans are enjoying a fantastic season by regular standards. However, the LVC is tighter than ever this spring. Liberty, Whitehall and Emmaus are the current division leaders in the LVC. Not to mention that Northampton and Freedom aren’t very far behind that upper echelon. Galucy is adamant that the offensive production needs to begin now for the Trojans if they want to continue winning. He also mentions that fundamental baseball is the key to find consistency. He sums it up by saying, “If we can get our offense going and if the pitching can hold up during this brutal stretch of games, I think we have a chance to be there in the end.”

The 2013 KCB Challenge 10K Run and 5K Run/ Walk will be held on June 1 at 9 a.m. The race starts with a run through the Historic Kreidersville Covered Bridge, the last covered bridge in Northampton County, and ends with a second jaunt through the KCB, though perhaps not as swiftly.

The KCB Challenge is aptly named because it’s no easy practice run. Both the 5K and 10K start with an attention-grabbing incline but the rest of the course is predominantly a welcomed downhill. Both runs have beautiful views with varied country scenery and cross two historic bridges. Plenty of shady spots along the way. The awards for the winners are unique fused glass art pieces designed by Glass by

Erica. Post-race activities will include a generous spread of wholesome goodies. Professional timing

So many people answered the request for the loan of antique hats that their display has overflowed the Feature Room of the Heritage Center, 410 Delaware Avenue in Palmerton. The formal opening of this display will be on Sunday, May 5th, from 1 to 4 P.M., with speakers and refreshments. However, they can be viewed any time the Center is open, from Wednesday through Saturday each week. For specific hours each day, phone 610-824-6954 for a recording .
