Exploring Hay Creek

BY FRANCINE FULTON

What do mayflies, stoneflies and crayfish have in common? They are all indicators that a stream is healthy. This fact was among the information that children and families learned on Family Fun Day at Rustic Park in Birdsboro during an event presented by the Hay Creek Watershed Association (HCWA), which is a program of Berks Nature.

As part of the program, youngsters and their families were invited to wade into the waters of Hay Creek to search for critters living in the water, which they caught in nets and placed in containers to be identified.

“Macroinvertebrates can tell you a lot about water quality,” explained Beckey Seel, volunteer engagement coordinator and educator for Berks Nature. “They are biological indicators of water quality. We are teaching the kids how to identify them, and we can tell if the water quality is good or not.”

Healthy water, Seel explained, contains a variety of species. “Good (water) quality would be (finding)

Women invited to join Neighbors group

BY FRANCINE FULTON

The Neighbors group recently began its 37th year of offering a time of Christian fellowship for women during gatherings held at Conestoga Mennonite Church, 2779 Main St., Morgantown.

The year opened with a “Welcome Back Brunch” on Sept. 19, and the next scheduled meeting will be on Oct. 3 featuring speaker Liz Betz, who will present “Daring To Be Unique in Our Image-Driven World.”

Instead of meeting weekly as it has in years past, the Neighbors group will meet on the first, third and fifth Tuesdays of the month from September through May. The change was made to accommodate Conestoga Cubs, the church’s ministry for mothers of young children, which meets on the second Tuesday of the month.

“The second Tuesday is focused on women who have young children at home. They do an activity with their children and have fun together,” said

mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies, and we have all of them in Hay Creek. We are happy to say that the stream quality is very good,” she said, noting that studying Hay Creek is important since it provides the main water supply for Birdsboro. She said that pollution is indicated when there is a not a diversity of

shows that the stream is very healthy by having these different species.”

Stan Kemp, a professor from the University of Baltimore, was also on hand during the event to help youngsters identify macroinvertebrates. “We’ve got not only crayfish but lots of insects,” said Kemp. “We found a lot of great organisms today. It makes me happy to see because these organisms are not very tolerant to pollution.”

living creatures in the water. “If only one or two types of critters would have been found, that would indicate a problem,” noted Seel. “If there were not different varieties of insects - say there were just leeches or just crayfish and nothing else - that would indicate that there is something wrong with the water quality. You want to have a good ecosystem. You want to have all these different aquatic insects working together. It

For example, the youngers found crayfish, which are freshwater crustaceans that look like mini lobsters; mayflies, which have three tails that are often longer than their bodies; and dragonflies, which live most of their lives in the water as nymphs (or larvas) before becoming adults.

After catching the critters, they were identified and then released back into Hay Creek.

Also offered during the Family Fun Day were games and coloring activities.

HCWA presented a similar program at the Hay Creek Fall Festival last year

The annual Chester County 4-H benefit auction, which will offer people an opportunity to bid on items like artwork, antiques, handmade quilts and collectibles, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 23, at the Romano 4-H Center, located at 1841 Horseshoe Pike (Route 322), Honey Brook.

The event will include a silent auction that will be held from 4 to 6 p.m., followed by a live auction at 6 p.m. Admission is free, and all

are invited to attend.

The silent auction will feature many products and services donated by local residents and businesses. The live auction will feature fresh produce, plants, fine art, home decor and more.

“We will have lots of mushrooms,” said Amy Pippin, 4-H volunteer and leader of the Windy Hollow 4-H Club of Coatesville. “We will have pumpkins and mums. The local feed mills will also donate items.”

Youth members from local 4-H clubs also contribute to the auction.

Tina Essick, the program chair for Neighbors. “Some of the mothers who go to Cubs also go to Neighbors.”

Each Neighbors meeting begins with refreshments and a prayer time, followed by a guest speaker. Child care is provided for infants through kindergarten-age children. While their moms are at the meeting, children enjoy stories, crafts and age-appropriate activities. Snacks are provided.

All programs and child care are offered free of charge, but donations are welcome. When a craft is the focus of the meeting, registration is required and a nominal fee is charged to cover the cost of supplies.

In addition to Betz, new Neighbors speakers this year include John Beitler, who will present “Enhancing the Joy of Birding in Your Backyard and Beyond” on Oct. 31.

“The felted soap craft led by Sue Sutter on Nov. 7 is also new,” Essick noted. “She has led us in previous crafts, and it has always been fun.”

A program about COBYS Family Services will be presented on Dec. 5 by speaker Anne Stokes. “COBYS is an organization that helps children find a home,” said Essick. “We are going to learn more about what they do.” She added that a freewill offering will be received for COBYS following the talk.

Also new is “Soup’s On!” on Jan. 16, 2024, where attendees will sample soups and share recipes.

The group also takes part in community service projects. On March 5, 2024, the ladies will knot comforters for the Mennonite Central Committee.

The blankets are distributed worldwide to people in need. On April 2, 2024, members will take part in a service day with Anchored Ministries, an Elverson-based charity.

“Painting With a Twist” will be offered on April 16, 2024, by Michelle Glick. “Michelle attends our group and does a lot of artistic work for Glick’s Greenhouse in the Oley area,” Essick noted. “She is an artist and will teach us. No matter what your gift level is, it will still be fun.”

Flu shots frompg 5

pharmacies will once again offer drive-up flu vaccinations where patients can pull into a spot in the designated area of the store parking lot and be vaccinated without leaving their car. Store locations offering drive-up flu vaccinations as well as the dates and times will soon be available at www.giantfood stores.com/pages/tgc -vaccines or www.martins foods.com/pages/tgc -vaccines.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone age 6 months and older get a flu vaccination. While the CDC recommends flu shots by the end of October for everyone age 6 months and older, certain groups of people are at greater risk for complications from the flu. These groups include people with diabetes, pregnant women, adults over 65, children under age 5, those with asthma and other chronic lung diseases, those with kidney and liver disorders, heart disease patients and those with compromised immune systems.

To find the nearest Giant or Martin’s pharmacy, visit www.giantfoodstores.com or www.martinsfoods.com or download the free Giant or Martin’s pharmacy app.
