From the Editor’s Desk

Joe Korba

Of all the casualties of the digital age, video stores are one of the most unfortunate for a movie geek like myself. Sure, streaming video and all of the other convenient ways of watching movies are great, but without neighborhood video rental places, I would have never discovered and cultivated my love of movies – specifically horror, cult, and other oddities.

The town I grew up in, Weatherly, Pa., had the best family-owned video place, “Downtown Video.”

Unlike rental chains like Blockbuster, who would insist on seeing ID for R-rated films, “Downtown” was an absolute wonderland for a preteen seeking out the lurid content and cheap thrills of ‘70s and ‘80s horror movies. My friends and I would pedal down on our bikes after school and rent everything from crazy, low budget slashers like “Sleepaway Camp” to legitimately good horror like “The Exorcist” and “Night of the Living Dead.” Needless to say movies like “The Evil Dead” perfectly appealed to my comic book-addled sensibilities and I became a fan for life.

The proliferation of horror movies on cable is one the many awesome things about this time of year, but there are tons of haunted houses, hayrides, and, of course, trick-or-treat nights, to celebrate the season in our area. My publishing assistant

Meet the Staff

This is our new Meet the Staff feature, where you can get to know the folks who work here at the T&C Gazette a little better. If there is anything you would like to know about us, email your question to askus@townandcountrygazette.com using the subject line “MEET THE STAFF.” This edition's question is:

This year, we had our readers submit their craziest Halloween costume photos. What’s the most unique alter ego you ever created in honor of October 31?

Joe Korba, Associate Publisher My jailbird costume was always one of my favorites. You can tell it's the ‘80s by my Ollie North mask.

Danielle Tepper, Publishing Assistant Growing up, I tried really hard to create costumes no one else would have, which usually involved a lot of careful shopping and hard work on behalf of my mom and her sewing machine. I was a piece of candy corn, a house painter, and a skateup waitress complete with rollerblades and a tray of plastic food. That last was my favorite and yet there’s no picture proof! Here I am as a mermaid from a 2010 party. My under-thesea accessories came from a seashell collection that I started as a kid and involved a lot of hot-gluing.

Before Halloween grew into the candy craze that it is today, it was a Celtic celebration known as Samhain. The Celts believed that on the night before their new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. Halloween didn’t become a popularized American tradition until the early 1900s. (www.history.com/topics/halloween) Halloween is undoubtedly one of the most fun times of year and the following pages will prove why. Check it out and have a safe and happy Halloween!

Did You Know?

One quarter of all the candy sold annually in the U.S. is purchased for Halloween.

Halloween may be a candy company’s dream, but it doesn’t have to be all about sugar and chocolate – check out these cute and healthy tricks for parties, after school snacks, or movie marathons.

Halloween Treats That Won’t Rot Your Teeth Cheese Eyeballs Babybels are a useful little

snack. To make these monster eyeballs, simply remove the wax coating, paint blood vessels using red food coloring (gel works best), cut black olives into thin slivers, press them in and fill with ketchup. Keep refridgerated.

Monster Barf

Carve a toothy mouth into the side of a watermelon, hollow it out and fill with diced fruit. Use a toothpick to hold cucumber slices and black olives for ‘eyes.’

Ghosts & Pumpkins

Banana halves and clementines make adorable lunchtime snacks.

Push chocolate chips (point first)

www.townandcountrygazette.com | October 17, 2013

into the bananas to create ghost faces and put thin celery sticks into the center of peeled clementines to make little pumpkins.

Packing lunch for the kids?

Use a sharpie to draw a jacko-lantern face on an unpeeled clementine!

Candy Corn Cocktail

Ditch the sugar but love the look - put cubed pineapple, orange slices, and whipped cream in a glass. Enjoy!

Page 11

Zombie Teeth

Carve doublesided apple slices to create mouths.

Insert sliced almonds for a creepy look. Go the tastier route Coat two individual slices with peanut butter and put mini marshmallows in between.

Speaking of movie marathons … now’s the time to dust off your copy of these classic horror films. These ten (and many others) have stood the test of time, proving evil never dies.

10 Classic Horror Movies to Watch … Before You Die 1. Psycho (1960) – The reason you’re afraid to close your eyes in the shower.

2. Night of the Living Dead (1968) - The original "Walking Dead."

3. The Exorcist (1973) – Pea soup, anyone?

4. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - Worst dinner party ever.

5. The Omen (1976) - Making a toddler on a tricycle terrifying.

6. Halloween (1978) – Proving you can never outrun someone who walks so calmly.

7. The Shining (1980) – Vacation ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.

8. Poltergeist (1982) – Before “The Ring,” this was

www.townandcountrygazette.com | October 17, 2013

Page 13

the reason TV static freaked us out.

9. Gremlins (1984) – Never share your midnight snack with your pet.

10. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) – Johnny Depp’s first acting role and the poor kid gets sucked into a bed.

Horror movies wouldn’t be half as scary without the music that accompanies them. While Halloween doesn’t exactly have quite the catalog that Christmas does, it still has a pretty sweet playlist. Make sure you include these five classics for your costume party!

Spine-Tingling Tunes to Thrill & Chill Your Guests 1. Thriller (Michael Jackson) 2. Monster Mash (Bobby "Boris" Pickett) 3. GhostBusters Theme Song (GhostBusters) 4. This Is Halloween (The Nightmare Before Christmas) 5. Halloween Theme Music (Halloween)

Thriller

Whether you go all out making the outside of your home look haunted for trick-or-treaters or want to turn the inside into a house of horrors, you’ll need some awesome decorations—and what would decorations be without a pumpkin or two or twelve? Instead of fighting a losing battle with a carving knife, opt to not turn them into jack-o-lanterns and give these unique ideas a try.

The Thumbtack Pumpkin – Come up with a design and just stick ‘em in!

The Chalkboard Pumpkin – Find chalkboard paint at your local paint supply store.

The Mummy Pumpkin – Just needs some googly eyes and cheesecloth/gauze.

The Sparkly Sequin Pumpkin – Some hot glue and voila!

The Candy Corn Pumpkin – Simple spraypaint.

The Eyeball Pumpkin – For those with some artistic skills.

Take to the Skies Continued from Page 25 the Civil Air Patrol, which started in 1941 a week before the attack on the Pearl Harbor. Although CAP’s initial focus was reconnaissance flying, the group's mission expanded when German submarines began to prey on American ships off the coast of the United States. In response, CAP planes began carrying bombs and depth charges.

A CAP crew from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware was the first to disrupt a Nazi sub attack, saving a tanker off Cape May, New Jersey. By the end of the war, CAP pilots located 173 submarines, attacked 57, hit 10 and sank 2. A German naval commander later confirmed that coastal U-boat operations were withdrawn from the United States "because of those damned little red and yellow airplanes."

Today Civil Air Patrol, in its Air Force auxiliary role, flies more than hundred thousand (100,000) hours annually in performing homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies.

Many EAA Young Eagle members and Civil Air Patrol cadets go on to obtain their pilot licenses, become professional pilots, astronauts, or aviation engineers with training they received through these two incredible organizations.

Grooming Your Dog Submitted by Candi Lynn

Grooming is another essential part of caring for your dog. Depending on your breed of dog will determine the extent of his grooming needs.

For instance, if a dog with long hair isn’t regularly groomed and brushed the end results can be painful and an area for infection. Mats are a result of twisting and turning of the hair. Foreign bodies can become entangled in this mess of hair.

Hot spots can form, the matted hair can also hold in urine and feces in the hair around the hind end.

Brushing your dog on a regular basis can help

deter these mats from forming. The hair between the pads of your dog’s paws need to be trimmed as this can be a high area where moisture, mats, and dog chewing on his paws can cause infection.

Dogs’ nails need to be trimmed. The nails will continue to grow and start to curl towards the pads of a dog’s paw. These nails may get imbedded into the pads and can become very painful when the dog walks.

In certain breeds of dogs, the hair in his ears may need plucking, as this hair will start growing inwards and the dog’s ears may be more prone to infections and ear mites. Dogs with floppy ears need regular ear cleaning as these ears tend to keep moisture inside the ear canals.

Taking your dog to a professional groomer is a great asset for you dog, not only to look his best, but a groomer can detect any changes in your dog’s hair growth and body. A groomer can tell if there are any new lumps or bumps or if any growth in known lumps. A groomer will note any ear trouble in which your dog may need a visit to his vet. A groomer will see any flea/tick infestation, any cuts or wounds that may have been covered by his hair, may notice a loss or increase in weight, any loose or cracked teeth, tartar on the teeth, and/or gum irritation and bleeding of the gums. Also note any crust on eyes.

Grooming schedules vary for different breeds of dogs. On average, a grooming appointment is usually every 8 weeks to avoid any matting and to keep your dog looking healthy and clean! Groomers will use a gentle shampoo, such as oatmeal, papaya, kava or baby shampoo. After bathing, conditioners are a plus for the hair and skin! We all want our dogs to look their best, be healthy and happy! As we would find the hairdresser we like and feel comfortable with, it’s the same with your dog.

Find a groomer you will feel comfortable with to tend to your dog’s grooming needs. A little bit of spa treatment for our furry companions will make them look and feel their best!

Summer

Brodie

Brodie is a high energy athlete—eager to please and learn! He is working on not jumping and redirection when walking near other dogs, but is doing very well. He loves to train with the clicker. As soon as he sees it, he sits and gives paw and awaits his reward! He lives to learn. With his high energy and love of life, he would make a great jogging partner and do beautifully on an agility course.

Summer is a very energetic, happy puppy. After proper introductions, she loves to play with dogs that can tolerate her energy level. Summer is such a beautiful girl—looking at her makes your heart melt. She arrived at a shelter in Philly at only a month old with what they thought was a rare case of Strangles and before Sunrays got her at 4 months old, she'd been on meds for almost her whole life. It's now believed this was actually a chemical burn on the poor baby's snout. She arrived to us with kennel cough as well and had to be isolated for weeks. But this girl is tough and she has now recovered from both the burns and the cough! She will, however, always have the scarring on her snout to remind us of how special and lucky she is to be safe and loved now!

Touch of Dutch Reformations-sunndaag

Der letscht Sunndaag vum Oktower waar immer Reformations-sunndaag in die alde Deitsche Karriche. [Heitesdaags iss es noch gfeiert warre in deel Karriche.] Viele Zeide hen sie em Martin Luther sei „Ein Feste Burg ist unser Gott“ in Hoch Deitsch gsunge datt in dem Gottesdinscht.

Der Florence Baver ihre Drupp, Die Bushkill Fersammling, hen en Karrichlied Bichli ghatt un sell Lied waar drin. Awwer es waar in unser Deitch vum William H. Larose iwwersetzt warre, un ich wa es schreiwe dodrin: „En mechdich Feschtung iss der Gott“ En mechd_ich Fescht_ung iss der Gott, en Boll_werk, dass net fehl_t.

Er scheht uns bei darr_ich der Fluss, as die Mensch_heit be_gwell_t.

Der Deiw_el gwehlt uns so, er will uns schaad_e do; Sei Graft un G’walt is gross, mir sin vun ihm ver_hasst.

Uff Erd iss net sei Gleich_heit.

Gott loss uns ken Zeit ganz a_llee; A_llee kent mer net lew_e.

Deet net der recht Mann bei uns schteh, der Mann bei Gott uns geww_e.

Froog doch net, wer iss des; des iss Ye_sus Grischd_us.

En gross_er Droscht iss Er, fer e_wich iss Er Herr.

Der Kriek muss Er ge_winn_e.

Der Welt iss voll mit Schlecht_ich_keit, des meecht uns all ver_nichd_e. ‚Siss uns net bang die Waahr_heit schteht, fer des iss Gott_es Will_e.

Reformation Sunday

The last Sunday of October was always Reformation Sunday in the old ‘Dutch’ churches.

[Today it is still commemorated in many churches.] Many times they sang Martin Luther’s “A mighty Fortress [strong castle] is our God” in High German in that worship service. Florence Baver’s group, The Bushkill Fersammling, had a little hymn book and that song was included. But therein it was translated in our Dutch by William H. Larose, and I will include it in this article.

“A mighty Fortress is our God” A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our shelter, He, amid the flood, Of mortal ills prevailing.

For still our ancient foe, Doth seek to work us woe.

His craft and pow'r are great, And armed with cruel hate.

On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God's own choosing.

Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He. Lord Sabaoth, His name, From age to age the same.

And He must win the battle.

And tho' this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us,

We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.

The prince of darkness grim - We tremble not for him.

His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure; One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow'rs - No thanks to them – abideth.

The Spirit and the gifts are ours, Thro' Him who with us sideth.

Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still.

His kingdom is forever.

[The underline “_” was in the original Dutch translation and I kept it here to show how words are divided when singing. In hymn metrics, the English translation by Frederic Hedge (which is the one used here) is listed as 87.87.66.66.7, where each pair of numbers, 87, for example, represents a two line couplet with eight syllables in the first line and seven in the following line. The final line, the last ‘7’, stands by itself. By dividing the words into their syllables, you can see that the Dutch maintains that metric pattern, with some minor tweaking. The poetic metrics, the rhythmic structure of each line, is a more complicated matter and basically beyond me, even though I note that the endings of some of the lines in the Dutch do

not rhyme, as their corresponding English ones and also the type of metric foot seems to vary from the English version.]

Basic Pistol Class at Palmerton Rod and Gun Club

Submitted by Rusana Kasriel material without losing the attention of the students by interjecting humor and encouraging participation. The class was laughing and learning.

Thanks to the help from Angelo, Igor, and Kevin, all attendees got personal instruction and guidance at the range. They were shown a proper way to handle a weapon and different shooting stances and were given an opportunity to decide which position worked best for them. Some even got to try couple of different models to see what felt more comfortable to them. By the end of the day, not only could everyone properly and safely handle a weapon, but many went from shooting erratically to shooting up a perfect grouping.

New friendships were formed today and we are looking forward to providing our club members and members of our community with more classes. Because no one should ever be a victim!

The Basic Pistol class held on Sept.

28 at Palmerton Rod and Gun Club was completely sold out! The attendees learned the structure of the weapon, safe use, cleaning and storage, but the best part was the range time. Some of the attendees, mostly women and even a teenager, had never shot a weapon before and some were afraid of the gun. When they left, not only could they shoot their own weapons, but they asked to play with the big toys. Some started with a tiny .32ACP and .22LR and ended with shooting the Glock, Sig, and even the Taurus Judge.

Alex Platz, instructor and owner of Razorback Tactical Solutions, made the class fun. He patiently and thoroughly went over the instructional

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Submitted by Krista Davis

This October, Quality Insights of Pennsylvania supports National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to promote regular mammograms to increase early detection of breast cancer. It is also a time to educate people about how to reduce their risk, empower communities to join the fight and a time to celebrate breast cancer survivors.

According to breastcancer.org, approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in her life. For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer.

Extra Point

by Tyler Trumbauer

Parkland is Working to Make the Grade

The Parkland girls’ volleyball team is used to being evaluated on the court and experiencing success playing volleyball.

As this year’s team is gearing up for a postseason that they hope trumps any other, the girls are not afraid to be harshly graded by their coaches.

“We evaluate them and because these kids are good academically, they want good grades,” head coach Mike Krause said. “We give them the feedback. We do the analysis of the performance and they take pride in what they are receiving.”

The Parkland girls’ volleyball team is what some may call the makings of a dynasty as last year’s squad made a playoff run that lasted deep into the state playoffs before they lost to Hempfield in the AAA state final match. Krause is optimistic for another season like last year’s based on the regular season performance as Parkland is 14-0 as of October 9.

“I think they have really been pulling it together.

This year we came back without any kids that received any league or district recognition from last year. They were willing to listen and learn and they supported each other.”

Krause isn’t too surprised that his team didn’t suffer a down season after losing some key players to graduation in the spring as other girls have stepped in to leadership roles. Veronica Koval is arguably the top Trojan on the team as Krause says, “She has come so far.” According to Krause, Koval is a great teammate, who gets emotional on the court and is very hard-working. The other four seniors on the squad, Lyndsey Iacobelli, Mary Zacher, Morgan Rentzheimer and Allora Atiyeh, are all captains and help lead the ladies on the court.

Parkland, as of October 9, is leading the way in the Lehigh Valley Conference standings and the

entire District 11 with their unblemished record.

They also are one of the elite squads in the AAA section of Pennsylvania as they are ranked as the second best girls’ volleyball team in the Keystone state.

There are a few schools from the local area hot on their tail however, as Emmaus is ranked third statewide and Southern Lehigh is fourth.

“Southern Lehigh and Emmaus are right there,” Krause said in a phone interview last week.

“Lucky for us is that we get to play them in the regular season and have a feel for what they are going to do [...] and a team like Southern Lehigh has a core group that has been there awhile and they are going to want that district title.

“So we have to respect the desire of other teams to achieve and knowing that, [we have] to get prepared for a good match and answer their best.

That is what keeps our kids refined in their skills and preparation.”

District 11 is full of talented girls’ volleyball teams, but only one squad moves on to the state tournament and that is the district winner, which makes winning it so much more important.

“We feel we have a shot just as much as anyone,” said Krause.“What these kids are doing and being consistent as we have won 48 consecutive sets in the regular season against these tough teams in the LVC is astounding.”

He added, “These kids know how to compete.

I am real comfortable with this group and being competitive with them. I hope we can rise during

www.townandcountrygazette.com | October 17, 2013

the heat of the battle, but they are an outstanding group of kids.”

That group is currently building another record as well as Parkland is nursing a 65 match winning streak in the regular season that every girl is very proud of and hopes to keep alive until the end of the regular season leading up to the league playoffs and the district tournament that starts on October 24.

Parkland is trying to get good grades. The ladies with C’s on the jerseys are hoping to get A’s on the court so that the team can showcase more than a report card at season’s end.

Prayers For Ava Thanks All Who Have Helped Submitted by Amanda Riepensell Ava continues to amaze her family, her team of care, and most importantly her team of doctors that believed from when she was born and told her family that her given diagnosis and children who also had this disease usually only live through their first year. As her parents, of course we were and continue to go through so many emotions but it was never a question for us about options. Ava has an older brother Chase, who was born with no medical issues, so as parents we had no idea what to expect, but we knew we had to stay as strong as we could for our Princess.

Ava was born at Lehigh Valley Hospital on 5/11/2011 and was transferred to CHOP in Philadelphia and was finally discharged to go home to her family on 1/19/2012. We were so happy and thankful that we could all be together at home. We did not even expect this to be a possibility in the beginning. Due to Ava’s care in her daily schedule including appointments at CHOP in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, surgeries, and unexpected emergencies, as a family we had to make a difficult decision on what would be best for Ava. We decided that her mother would leave her full-time job so one of us could be with her at all times and that her father would continue to work as hard as he does and as much as he can to support our family through this time until we receive the most important phone call to get for Ava for her transplant. She is currently active on CHOP in Pittsburgh’s transplant list for a Small Bowel transplant which includes the small intestine, duodenum, stomach, pancreas, and liver. We can only stay strong and keep thinking positive and hope and pray that her surgery goes over well.

Currently, Ava has a Broviach line that goes through a small opening in her chest into a vein for her nutrition. Everything that Ava receives is all by IV given through her broviach line. Recently,

we have been told by her doctor that we can start trying to give Ava toddler food that is easy to dissolve and see how she handles it. We have been excited as parents to start to give Ava licks of soft foods to taste and we have been letting her feel textures of different foods. Other than that, she receives nothing else by mouth because if she did, it would just sit in her stomach due to her anatomy.

She also has a Gastrostomy (G-tube) which is like a button on the side of her stomach that has a drainage bag attached at the end of her extension tubing. Even though her condition prevents her from doing things, we pray that Ava continues to have the strength that she has been showing us to overcome her Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome (MMIHS) diagnosis.

We hope then, as a family, our lives will settle and continue to be less stressful as we continue to get through difficult challenges and obstacles every day. We are very thankful and truly appreciate our families, friends, and especially everyone that has reached out to us including on her Facebook page, “PRAYERS FOR AVA” for your continued thoughtfulness, support, and most importantly keeping Ava in your prayers!
