From The Editor’s Desk. What is patriotism? I know that it’s more than the glib buzzword that we hear so often bandied about by pundits and politicians. It’s not something that’s divisive, that’s exclusive to liberals or conservatives, democrats or republicans. I also know that I could never explain patriotism better than someone who has volunteered to risk their life for their country. One of my closest friends made that decision. Shortly after I had the honor of being the best man in his wedding he left his friends, family and wife Crystal to go to boot camp and begin his career with the Air Force. Like so many other young men and women who decide to serve Tom balanced his family life with his lengthy deployments to the Middle East, including Afghanistan. In honor of Memorial Day I asked Tom what being in the Air Force means to him. This was his response. “As a service member in the United States Air Force, Memorial Day means something a little different for me than it would the average American. When I was 18, I joined a group of people who swore a solemn oath to their country to defend her with their lives. This is not something to take lightly. Every day we receive word that another brother or sister has been lost to enemy attacks. Life, in the military, could be taken from you at a moments notice. We lay it all on the line for the sake of others. Those that came before me hold a special sort of respect in my heart. If not for their sacrifices I can’t say that I could live the life I do today. I learn from their past sacrifices and support my comrades so they can continue to do the work required of them. They swore the same oath I did to “support and defend the constitution of the United States.” This is what
Joe Korba
we do. Children, fresh out of high school, enlist to serve what seems to be a higher calling. Some of us do it because of the benefits the military provides. Some of us do it because jobs are hard to come by. Still, others do it for the pride. I’ve made friendships in my military life that will last Staff Sergeant Tom until the day I die. I know Tierney, currently what it’s like to be part deployed to Southwest of a team who would lay Asia serving with the down their lives for me. 609th Air Operations I can only thank those Squadron, Intelligence, Surveillance And that came before for the opportunity to follow in Reconnaissance Division is originally from their footsteps and serve Weatherly, PA and now a proud heritage. I can resides in San Angelo, only hope that those who Texas with his wife come after me feel the Crystal and children same way.” Alexandra and Jack.

On October 10, 2003, this F14 “Tomcat”, a former Navy fighter jet, flew its last flight into Lehigh Valley International Airport. The Tomcat made its way for LVIA to the VFW Post 7293 in Egypt where it is on display in memory of those who fought for our freedom and for those who continue to fight.

Warrior’s Watch Riders - New Chapter Warriors' Watch Riders has a new chapter in the Lehigh Valley; the PA East Central Chapter. Our soldiers have our backs over there. We have their backs here at home. Some of us are veterans; some of us are family to those that serve. Some of us ride motorcycles as a way to raise awareness. All of us are Americans. We stand together to honor our nations warriors and to support their families. Warriors’ Watch Riders provides motorcycle escorts for military units returning from war, or for units deploying, and for individual warriors coming home or departing. Warriors’ Watch supports military families and unit Family Readiness Groups. They also provide motorcycle escorts and for military family members in awareness-raising activities in which they may be engaged as well as promote these activities. Warrior’s Watch Riders’ definition of “troops” includes veterans of all military branches from all eras, police and firefighters, and all first responders. They honor our first responders and our veterans in the same way that we honor our currently uniformed troops. Warriors’ Watch does not charge money for our
services. We do no fundraising, and we do not accept donations. All of the activities are carried out by volunteers on their own time and at their own expense. What they need is YOU, either to ride or to stand and cheer our homecoming and departing troops, or totravel to support unit family groups in their activities. If you would like to stand with us and support of our nation’s warriors, we would love to have you, our fellow American, stand with us. If you would like to request a welcome home, a send off, other related support, or to join please visit our website at www.warriorswatch.org.

The BHCWA Spritz Invasive Plant Watch Water wisdom from the Bertsch Hokendauqua Catasauqua Watershed Association At the Bertsch/Hokendaqua and Catasaqua Creek’s Watershed Association one of our primary goals is to educate and bring awareness to the public on key watershed issues. One of the ways we at BHCWA have chosen to help the public is to bring awareness of the growing problem of “invasive plants” and the damage that they cause. What is an “invasive plant”? “Invasive plants” are described as species’ of plants that become weed pests that aggressively compete with, spread and displace native plant life and can alter the functionality of an ecosystem once established as a dominant member of a local plant community. Most “invasives” are described as “non-native”, “exotic”, “alien” or “introduced” species. They tend to be generalists, being able to exist in wet, dry or infertile soil, at home in sun or shade, and being most aggressive on disturbed ground. Other characteristics of “invasive plants” is that they mature quickly, spread by roots or shoots and produce a prolific amount of seed that readily germinates in many different soil/light conditions. Impacts of “invasive plants” are many. They degrade native environments thus affecting “native” plants, insects, birds and animals, with endangered species being the most vulnerable. They establish readily in yards, gardens, fields, parks, and hedgerows. Left unchecked they can and are very expensive to control. In the southeastern U.S. millions of dollars a year are spent controlling a non-native invasive called Kudzu vine. This vine is extremely fast growing, engulfing anything onto which It can attach, especially utility poles and wires. Common “invasives” in our area include Japanese Multiflora Rose, Japanese Honeysuckle, Purple Loosestrife, Norway Maple, Garlic Mustard, Canada Thistle, and Oriental Bittersweet and Butterfly Bush, to name a few. To learn more about these “alien invaders” and how to identify, control or eradicate them, contact via internet The PA DCNR/ Bureau of Forestry, The Plant Conservation Alliance, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.

Pet Travel Tips for Memorial Day Every Memorial Day thousands of families hit the road for a getaway. When you travel with pets, it’s important to take the time to make additional preparations. These can make the difference between a stress-free holiday and a trip filled with anxiety for you and your pet. Here are 10 pet travel tips, courtesy of PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance, for you to keep in mind as you leash up your cat or dog, and hit the road.
*Take updated vaccinations / medical records with you on the trip. *Carry a copy of your veterinarian’s business card or phone number. *Pack any medications (including heartworm prevention), especially if your pet will be due for a dose when you’re away. (I do my dog’s heartworm and flea/tick medicines on the 1st of every month.) Continued on Page 60

Memorial Day As a child of the 1950’s, Memorial Day was officially designated as Decoration Day. Interestingly, some called it “Declaration Day”. But, all knew it was day to honor those who had died in service to our great country and it was always celebrated on May 30th. The official name of Memorial Day did not become the law until 1967 and by 1968 the Uniformed Holidays Bill was passed creating three day weekends for several holidays (Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day and Veterans Day). The law took effect across the nation in 1971. With this change and even before, revered national holidays became less about honor and ultimately undermining the meaning of the day. Throughout the nation this became a time of diminished observance of the day and what it stands for. On this day in any given current year look around and those observing the day are mainly veterans, their families and Americans with a lot of pride in those who serve their country. While the day is to honor those who died in service to our country there was always a mix of emotion by those in attendance as the mass in parades and other ceremonies was by veterans, women’s auxiliaries, police and fire departments, boy scouts and girl scouts and for me it was a microcosm of all who serve our country. The day is one in which the youth can see history personified right in front of their eyes. When I was young there may have been a few Civil War veterans just as we have lost the last 2 WWI veterans 93 years after the war, quite a few Spanish American War and World
War I veterans and incredible numbers of World War II and Korean War veterans. Today’s youth will see a decreasing number of World War II and Korean War veterans, a long overdue honored group of Vietnam veterans and those from the wars since to include the Gulf War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I tell the youth I speak to, here are your heroes, not those in a ballpark. Talk to these heroes, ask them questions and learn from those who were there. The history books in school will not and cannot share what these heroes experienced firsthand. Rarely in a lifetime can you speak to someone who was on the front line of history. During WWII over 1,000 professional athletes served our country. If you want to learn about these dedicated athletes of a bygone era read “Duty, Honor, Victory: America’s Athletes in World War II by Gary Bloomfield. How many athletes do you know that served in recent years? Know your heroes! Often on this day while honoring those who died in service to our country the thought is of those “who died in combat!” However, throughout our military’s history men and women have died nowhere near combat but still in service to our country. Some die in training exercises. Some die in support operations. Some die in other ways. But, while they wear the uniform of our nation’s military their lives are every bit as important and honored as those who die in combat. Continued on Page 28

Memorial Day Continued from Page 27 I served in the army for 10 years. I lost a family member in combat and another became a Prisoner of War. On May 19, 2010, my youngest son, PFC Joseph L. Faro, a United States Marine nearly lost his life in Afghanistan when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was set off. I know the cost of service to our country as many others do. War takes another toll on those left behind. In my son’s case a fellow Marine and friend, PFC Kyle Joseph Coutu was killed in action in Afghanistan on February 18, 2010, having just turned 20 days earlier. Now my son Joseph, another son Matt and I will journey to Pawtucket, R.I. for the first annual PFC Kyle J. Coutu 5K Run to honor this hero. Let us never forget those who died in service to our country. In closing I often tell those I talk to that in recent years it is my belief that most of our society tunes out the current war and unless tragedy hits home or close to home or you know someone affected the war remains as far from you as Afghanistan does physically from all of us. Yet that war gets closer and closer to home the closer you are to one who has served. Recently the news reported that an Afghan pilot, someone supposed to be our ally, opened fire killing 9 Americans. One of those Americans, Major David Brodeur, is the father of a young girl who attends school with a granddaughter in Alaska. That young girl made her First Communion days after her father was killed. Yes, the war is close to home. Let Memorial Day be all it was meant to be. Parties, picnics and time off from work are fine but without those who died serving you and me there may never be parties and picnics let alone time off from work. God Bless America! Bob Faro

Postscript from Bob Faro: “I thought I was finished but news just came that we lost a true WWII hero and my dear friend John “Jack” S. Davis of Easton. Jack was a true WWII hero, having been awarded 2 Silver Stars and a host of other awards for valor. Yet Jack never talked about his deeds and always said the real heroes are buried or lost overseas. My life has been enriched for knowing Jack Davis. To me, Memorial Day means remembering those that not only died in service to our country but for many war veterans who suffered a lifetime after their war.”

Spread The Good Word St. John Neumann Regional School Receives Foundation Grant At a time when the cost of education is increasingly being placed on local communities, it was particularly gratifying to the families and parishioners who support St. John Neumann Regional School to learn they have the continued confidence of the Julius & Katheryn Hommer Foundation which recently awarded the school a grant of $25,000 to help defray operating costs and encourage others to give. Peter Kern, Chairman of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, said the grant was an “investment” in the future leaders of our country. He expressed his admiration for the academic and community achievements of the students of St. John Neumann and complimented the parents and staff for their roles in the education of their children. Sister Virginia Stephanie, Principal, expressed appreciation on behalf of the entire St. John Neumann family for this gift.

Spread The Good Word Sermonette Rev. Brian R. Holbren What happened ‘On the Road to Emmaus’ is well known; Two men, most likely Jewish followers of Jesus who also knew the Twelve, were returning to their hometown, Emmaus, following their celebration of the Jewish week of Passover. They were discussing all that had happened when Jesus appeared to them, yet they did not recognize him. He “walked ahead of them” as they spoke. The text then says, “Beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted for them the things about himself in all the Scriptures.” It
wasn’t until hours later when Jesus sat down with them and “broke the bread” that they suddenly realized who he was, for they must have heard the account of the Last Supper from the Twelve. The same sort of thing happened when Jesus appeared to the women at the tomb, Peter (Simon), and with the apostles gathered behind closed doors. Christ also “opened the Scriptures” for them, but it took letting them touch him or sharing a meal before “their eyes were opened”. How easy it is for us ‘post-modern’ people to not recognize Christ in our midst. Like so many stories in the Bible, we deceive ourselves in so many ways from witnessing to the risen Christ. May the celebration of Easter be with you every day and may the Scriptures which attest to Christ come alive for you. Rev. Brian R. Holben Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church Trachsville

Those Who Serve United States Army
The Army is the largest and oldest branch of the U.S Armed Forces with over a million soldiers including the reserves and National Guard. The modern Army has its’ roots in the Continental Army which was formed in 1775. This is the Army’s Infantryman’s Creed: I am the Infantry. I am my country's strength in war. Her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight -- wherever, whenever. I carry America's faith and honor against her enemies. Never will I fail my country's trust. Always I fight on -- through the foe to the objective, to triumph over all. If necessary, I fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won two hundred years of freedom. I yield not -- to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, for I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not -- my country, my mission, my comrades, and my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I am the infantry, follow me!

United States Marine Corps
Captain Samuel Nicholas formed two battalions of naval infantry in Philadelphia in 1775; these continental marines were the precursors to today’s modern Marine Corps. The Marines have served in every American armed conflict. The Marine Corps’ style of amphibious warfare formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of WWII. Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy.

Recipe Round-Up Go Fish with Carla Hall of “Top Chef” (NAPSI)—Those interested in easy, tasty seafood recipes no longer have to go fishing for them. Carla Hall, All-Stars Fan Favorite on Season 8 of the TV show, “Top Chef,” offers a “Go Fish with Canola Oil” recipe collection with stepby-step video instructions. “A lot of people get nervous about cooking fish, which is unfortunate because it’s a healthy addition to any diet and ‘ticky-boo’ to prepare,” said Hall. Her fish recipes include Grilled Salmon over Lentil Salad with Walnut Vinaigrette, Halibut en Papillote (meaning “in parchment” in French) with Roasted Tomato-Artichoke Ragout, Tuna Stir-Fry over Whole-Wheat Vermicelli and the trout dish below. All of these recipes are made with canola oil, which is a good source of omega-3 fat along with the fish. Omega-3 fat may help protect the heart, especially when consumed in place of saturated fat. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized a qualified health claim for canola oil on its potential to reduce the risk of heart disease. In her CanolaInfo videos online, Hall answers common questions about fish, including selecting and preparing it. For example, she suggests these amounts when buying fish: How Much Fish to Buy Whole fish: ¾−1 lb per person Dressed/cleaned: ½−¾ lb per person Fillets or steaks: ⅓−½ lb per person Hall can help home chefs conquer any fishy fears. For her “Go Fish with Canola Oil” recipes and videos, go to www.canolainfo.org. Now that Fishing Season is in Full Swing, what do you do with all those trout?

In blender, combine canola oil and lemon zest. Process until smooth, then strain through fine mesh strainer. Store in refrigerator in airtight container or covered jar for 1−2 days. 2. Preheat broiler. In large bowl, combine zucchini, grape tomatoes, red onion, garlic and rosemary. Drizzle vegetable mixture with balsamic vinegar and lemon oil. Toss, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables in single layer on baking sheet and place 4 inches under broiler for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender crisp and browned. Halfway through cooking time, toss vegetables. 3. While vegetables are cooking, prepare baking sheet with foil and canola oil cooking spray. Place trout on prepared baking sheet.

THE PROBLEM.
THE SOLUTION.
All new and existing masonry substrates are susceptible to water damage and, even if repaired, will continue to deteriorate if not protected.
ChimneySaver is the first water repellent specifically developed to protect masonry chimneys from severe weather conditions.
Protect Your Investment
There are approximately 40 million masonry chimneys in North America and the most common problem with these structures is water penetration. Water causes over a billion dollars in damage annually in the form of staining, loss of insulation value, freeze-thaw damage, deterioration, and ultimately structural failure.
Severe spalling and deterioration is caused by water penetration.
Efflorescence stains caused by water penetration and leaching salts are unsightly and add to deterioration.
Water penetration and freeze/thaw damage result in loss of insulation value and lead to structural failure.
Use On All Masonry Surfaces
Not just for chimneys, ChimneySaver® water repellent is the ideal choice for protecting all residential and commercial above-grade masonry. ChimneySaver is the best solution for a variety of exterior masonry applications including patios, walkways, pool decks, and wall systems.
ChimneySaver is a WATER REPELLENT - not a water sealer. The difference could save you hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars in repairs because sealers can actually damage masonry. Unlike waterproofing sealers that remain on the surface, ChimneySaver penetrates deep enough to protect masonry from destructive water penetration while maintaining the structure’s vapor permeability.
Superior Technology ChimneySaver contains patented siloxanes small enough to penetrate most masonry pores up to 1/4” or more. These special siloxanes form strong bonds with the silica in masonry and concrete. Because of this bonding process, one application of ChimneySaver provides up to ten times the water repellent protection of typical sealers while maintaining the masonry’s breathability. Moisture from a variety of sources is always present in masonry and concrete. Sealers and silicone coatings form a water resistant surface film which traps water vapors inside. If these vapors cannot escape, they will contribute to spalling, scaling, deterioration, and freeze-thaw damage. ChimneySaver is 100% vapor permeable - a nonfilm-forming water repellent that penetrates and lines masonry pores.
100% Breathable • 10 Year Guarantee • No Darkening of Masonry

Palmerton Students Hold Silent Protest to Save Their Sports Program Students, parents and supporters circled the Palmerton High School building on May 2nd. The crowd was gathered in support of Blue Bomber’s sports as well as other extracurricular activities on the chopping block because of budget issues. A vote is scheduled for June that will end Palmerton School District’s participation in the Colonial League. Nearly 500 people carried signs that read “SOSSave our Sports”, Don’t take the P out of Pride” and other pro-Bomber’s slogans. The blue and white clad crowd was mostly silent except for a few chants of “Let’s Go Bombers” as they picketed around the school where a budget meeting was taking place. By Joe Korba

Those Who Serve Coast Guard
Alexander Hamilton formed The United States Coast Guard in 1790, then knows as the Revenue Cutter Service. The Coast Guard’s mission is unique in the armed forced because it includes a maritime law enforcement directive. The Coast Guard is operated under the Department of Homeland security during
peacetime and is transferred to Navy control by the President or congress in time of war. When Hamilton first established the service he was attempting to collect taxes from smugglers bringing goods into the young nation, fight piracy and rescue people in distress while they were at it. The modern Coast Guard can be said to date to 1915, when the Revenue Cutter Service merged with the United States Life-Saving Service and Congress formalized the existence of the new organization. 4571 CLOVER HILL CIRCLE SERVING THE GREATER LEHIGH VALLEY

*Secure your pet inside the car when in motion. This could be by using a special doggie seat belt or keeping your cat in a carrier that you’ve bungee-corded to the backseat. *Look for pet-friendly hotels and call ahead to make reservations. The AAA Pet Book includes information on 13,000 pet-friendly lodging options nationwide. * Since alcohol is potentially poisonous to pets, place all wine, beer and spirits well out of paws’ reach. * Stick with your pet’s normal diet—any change, even for a day, can result in an upset stomach. Certain foods like onions, avocado, chocolate, grapes and raisins are especially toxic to pets. * Avoid lathering your pet with any insect repellent or sunscreen not intended for the fourlegged kind. Ingestion can result in drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst and lethargy. * Keep your pet away from matches, citronella Continued on Page 61

Also, pools aren’t large water bowls—they contain chlorine and other toxic chemicals that can cause stomach upset. As always, if you suspect your pet has ingested something poisonous from the picnic table, please contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) at (888) 426-4435.
