By ED PANY Tony, Mark and Austin Plucker, and former family members, have over 130 years of service at Evansville, the current LehighHeidelberg cement plant. They were reared in Molltown, Berks County and graduated from Fleetwood High School.

Tony was hired in 1989 starting as a feed operator and repairman. Today he is a pay loader operator, saying, “I move material at the plant each day which includes 70,000 tires a week. They

are used as alternate fuel. Old timers Richard Hottenstein and Ray Weindt shared their years of work experiences with me.”

Mr. Plucker has been married to the former Mary Heffner for 30 years and they are proud of sons Colton, Alex and Sydney.

Tony is a soccer enthusiast and enjoys time with his family.

His brother Mark started in the labor department in July 1990 right out of high school.

Later he was promoted to repairman. Presently, Mark is a lab technician. He said, “I work in the physical lab testing cement before shipping. We test eight different types of cement to ensure Lehigh-Heidelberg produces a quality product. I enjoy the diversity of the job. The lab supervisors are chemists Nick Dovi-

dio and John Disepio, who is in charge of quality control, both fine men.”

Mark has been married to the former Stephanie Schadler for 24 years. They have three fine sons Austin, Taylor and Jeremy. In his spare time, Mark both hunts and enjoys his sleek Harley.

Mark’s son Austin was hired in 2013; he continues the family tradition at the plant.

Austin started on the labor gang and was promoted to the lab. He said, “I am a shift analyst, testing clinker and cement every two hours. We work swing shifts so there are technicians on duty 24 hours daily, checking our product.” Greg Reinhart, Austin’s mentor, helped him refine his laboratory skills. The young ceContinued on page 2

In my discussion with the men, they recalled the old company homes and when men picked up their paychecks from the accountant in the parking lot, rain or shine.

No Fee or Cost Unless Recovery Made

It was an honor to hear the Pluckers reminisce about their family experiences at the cement plant. Dedicated employees, these are men who carry family pride and a strong work ethic to the plant each day. They continue to produce a product that has helped build America.

We hope 2020 will be a safe and prosperous year for the Pluckers and all our friends at the century-old plant.

May true happiness and good fortune be with you in 2020. Happy New Year!

Gunman Barricaded In Lehigh Township

By HOME NEWS STAFF Last Thursday evening, Dec. 26, a gunman was barricaded in Lehigh Township after an argument that began over dinner. A 52-year-old man, Joseph Patrick Carmody, is in custody and charged with terroristic threats,

harassment and disorderly conduct, said police. A news release from Lehigh Township police stated that just before 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 26, police were called to Carmody’s home in the 1100 block of East Stateside Drive over a domestic dispute. During an argument over dinner, police said Carmody became violent, damaged the inside of the home and then threatened to kill his wife.

Carmody’s wife told police her husband had been “huffing and drinking alcohol all day.”

Carmody’s wife managed to escape and call 911.

Upon the arrival of officers, Carmody refused to leave the house, telling police he had a shotgun and also stated there would be a “showdown” if officers entered the home.

State Police were called to the scene to assist. According to police, around 3:45 a.m. Carmody evacuated the house “naked, yelling and gesturing.” He was taken into custody and taken to Easton Hospital. Moore Township, Lehigh Township fire police and fire department, PA State Police, and Northampton Regional EMS assisted the call.

Stories From My Heart

by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca

A Prayer and a Nudge Today, as I was resting on the sofa covered up with my mother's afghan, my mind drifted off to the many short stories I have written, the sweet comments and the future stories I would like to develop. My goal in writing is to make a difference. My stories develop through my faith in God, His faith and love in me, and the heartfelt desire to spread kindness, hope, peace, and love to all.

My grandmother once told me it doesn't cost anything to smile and to be kind. I live that advice every day. Thanks, Memmy for your pearls of wisdom.

Even though I was only twelve when she passed, her smile, being grateful when times were lean and when times were good, love of family and friends, and her sharing and caring ways have taken root in my heart.

My mother’s love of music, telling stories, and loving her family beyond words took over when Memmy died. Thank you, Mom, for always believing in me and encouraging me to follow my dreams.

I need to be honest. A couple of months ago, I thought of giving up on my writing. I can't explain it. Maybe I was afraid of failing. Perhaps thoughts of bullies during my time in school, taunting, snickering, voicing unkind words - still lurked, pushing my budding confidence

down. I don’t have an answer. After several weeks of this gnawing feeling, peppered with self-pity, something incredible happened.

I woke up to a nudge that kept tugging at my heart.

The nudge got a little stronger until I sat at my computer and wrote Treasured Thursday. The next day, the same nudge and I wrote another story. This is my take on what happened after I prayed, asking for guidance.

God listened, then nudged.

Each day the nudges tickled my heart and would not let me be. I knew that God had heard me, and the nudge was His answer to keep writing.

Other than taking a break on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the death of my sister, I have written a short story every day, along with an occasional Skyler Letter, and a stand-alone continuing story.

I believe that God took the nudge a bit farther. He led me to a local newspaper which prints my stories bi-weekly, and to a local electronic magazine where my stories and articles are posted on Facebook.

I now know that writing is a piece of my life. A big part that I am not willing to give up. Writing is the rainbow that completes me. It doesn't matter how many books or stories I do or do not sell. Fame and fortune mean very little to me.

What does matter is changing hearts, sharing love, writing encouraging words to brighten a day, hoping to bring a smile, and yes, maybe bring a tear that meanders down a face. If I have made a difference, then my heart is happy.

Keep praying. You never know when your nudge will come.

Give your Christmas Tree a second Life in the Landscape

By MELINDA MYERS Once your holiday celebrations have passed and the decorations go back into storage, it is time to deal with your real Christmas tree. Don’t drag it to the curb to be hauled away by the trash collectors. Give it a second, even third life, in your landscape. No live Christmas tree? Don’t worry!

I’m sure your friends and neighbors will share theirs.

Start recycling all those needles that landed on the floor. Sweep them up and use them as mulch in the garden. Place them directly on the soil or on top of the snow.

As the snow melts, the needles will be right where they belong.

And don’t worry, they will not make the soil too acidic. In fact, as they breakdown they will add organic matter to the soil.

Move your cut Christmas tree outdoors after the holidays. Use it as a windbreak or for added shade to prevent drying of tender evergreens. Strategically place your discarded tree on the windward side of rhododendron, boxwood, and needled or broadleaf evergreens subject to winter burn.

Place it on the south side of these plants to shade them from the drying winter sun.

Remove and use the branches as winter mulch over bulbs and perennials. Layer the boughs over the plants and frozen soil to keep the soil consistently cold. This re-

duces the risk of early sprouting and winter damage that can occur during winter thaws.

Or set the tree in the landscape for a bit of added greenery. Secure it in a snow pile or use stakes and guy wires if the soil is not frozen.

Then add a bit of food for your feathered visitors. Decorate the tree with fruits, berries, and seeds the birds can enjoy. Hang strands of cranberries and slices of oranges on colorful yarn and homemade bird ornaments to complete the edible display. The birds will enjoy the added food and shelter and you will enjoy watching these visitors to your landscape.

Then save the tree for trellising beans and peas in the garden.

The vines will grow up and over, masking the bare tree branches.

Growing vertically saves space and makes harvesting easier.

As spring arrives, consider chipping and shredding your tree into mulch for trees and shrubs or pathways in the landscape. No chipper? You and your neighbors may want to rent a chipper to shred these and other prunings for use as mulch in your landscapes.

And, if this is not possible, check for recycling resources in your community. Many municipalities have special pickups for Christmas trees. These are chipped, shredded and made available for citizens to use in their landscapes.

Always check on any alerts of live Christmas trees and greens shipped in from other regions of the country. These may contain pests that can infest your landscape or harm native plantings and local Christmas tree farms in your area. The Department of Natural Resources or your local Extension Office should have information on any such threats.

They can provide information on proper disposal.

And once you discover the value of this free resource, you may find yourself collecting a few more from neighbors who buy locally grown trees. Although, if your family is like mine, they may ask that you wait until dark to drag your treasures back home.

Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions for 2020 Did you make your New Year’s resolutions yet? Did you have the traditional pork and sauerkraut?

Is 2020 going to be the same old, same old, or are you going to bring to your customers new ideas, new products and/or new programs? Most customers have expectations where they shop or eat. We expect Kohl’s to have discounts, we expect the Edge Restaurant to have a happy hour, we expect our local grocery store to sell their holiday items at the very least 50 percent off.

Owning a small business is not easy; there are a lot of bumps in the road but many can be avoided by embracing change and utilizing opportunities like a new year to continue to strive to be the absolute best game in town. Some business owners only chase the money, like Mr. Wonderful says on Shark Tank, “All I care about

is the money.” One of my favorite shows is Shark Tank and I’m sure part of Mr. Wonderful’s brand is to say that and his other signature statement when the entrepreneur doesn’t select him for funding is, “You’re dead to me.” Regardless, chasing money is not necessarily the best plan of action.

Carol’s favorite top 10 New Year’s Resolutions.

1. Make a commitment to

grow your business- new ideas = new customers.

2. Start with a new business plan - get creative and strategic.

3. Set two new goals - increase and advance.

4. Videos are imperative - hire a company with a great reputa-

www.HomeNewsPA.com

tion and watch your stats on social media zoom (this works and Facebook loves videos).

5. Connect with influencers - people who everyone knows, work on getting them as customers or hire them (community celebs).

6. Get Social - increase, advance and encourage kicked-up social media, it can be free but if you want it to work, you may have to invest a few bucks.

7. Crank up Customer Appreciation - you know, gifts, rewards, special treatment.

8. Train and take care of your staff, give them the tools to be successful.

9. Show you care, be charitable in the community.

10. Be mindful of generational differences. The baby boomers think very differently than millennials.

Growing your business is not easy, sometimes you need to spend money, reduce expenses or even increase costs. But the number one thing you will need to do is to make a commitment to yourself and your staff to increase sales in 2020. Wishing you a happy and brilliant New Year.

Submitted by SHANNON POWERS Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding reminds Pennsylvania dog owners about getting a 2020 dog license.

“A dog license is the best way to bring your dog home if they get lost,” said Secretary Redding.

All dogs three months of age and older are required to be licensed. The fee for an annual dog license is $6.50, or $8.50 if the animal is not spayed or neutered.

Lifetime licenses are available for

dogs that have permanent identification such as a microchip or tattoo. Discounts are available for qualifying older adults and persons with disabilities.

Licensing dollars support the work of the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement to: • Inspect Pennsylvania’s kennels and ensure the health and well-being of the dogs that spend their lives there; • Investigate and prosecute illegal kennels and bad actors;

• Protect the public by monitoring PA’s dangerous dogs and investigating dog bites; and • Reunite licensed lost dogs with their families and help unlicensed lost dogs find shelter.

Pennsylvania dog licenses are available for purchase through Pennsylvania’s county treasurers.

Gab over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip I reckon most of the snowbirds are on their way or already down in Florida by now, Enjoy! . . Not for me, I like four seasons, but do envy the spring training baseball games they get to attend . . . Snowbirds are not to be confused with the snowgeese we see so often these days. If you haven't seen any snowgeese lately, they've been hanging out at the Seiple pond on Rt. 329, you know just west of Franks Corner, or for all the young'uns just west of Airport Road on Nor-Bath Boulevard. . . It's good the weather forecast continues to stay mild for the drive out to the Farm Show out in Harrisburg this weekend, it's always a great time. I like to see where the award winning food comes from, whether its meat, veggies, baking or wine. . . Penn State finished their season winning the Cotton Bowl outlasting Memphis. . . Eagles win their division, now the Seahawks come to town for the wild card game, if only they didn't have all the injured players this season. . . As we start a new year, there are lots of tax forms in the mail, not something we like, but I reckon it’s a necessary evil. Some folks like to figure ‘em out for themselves. Me, I just gather all the papers that come along all year, and put ‘em in an accountant’s lap and let them figure it out.

Sighh-h-h. Take care, gang.

It is more fun to work as a group. One mat can be completed in four hours with six people.

If you know someone who

would be interested in getting friends together and starting your own group, I will supply the plastic and teach you what to do. We also need helpers to prep plastic plarn, open and tie balls, (this can be done at home) crouch the mats, (at home) and people to help hand weave mats with us.

Affordable Pet Center Inc. Donates to Love Ran Red

Timekeeping 2020

by Charles McIlhaney Jr. Happy New Year! Once again we mark our passage through the annals of time and assess the gains, losses and changes of the past year with some speculation of future trends. For instance as to timekeeping, some young members of the “cellphone attached at the hip” generation have not learned to read time as displayed by the moving hands on the dial of a standard clock’s face. They find the time of day by the precisely accurate digital numbered readout on their cell phones. But, I think lost to them is the charm, the aesthetics, and the overall perspective of time represented on a clock’s face. The numbered dial pictures the hour of now, while reminding us of hours past and time to come. The imperceptible movements of the minute and hour hands are coordinated

with the daily passing of the sun.

And the mysterious second-hand makes its perpetual unwavering sweep around the dial, painfully slow on a classroom wall clock, yet at recess when unseen, seemed to somehow speed its pace. But, as they say, time marches on (pardon the pun) and I suspect along with sundials and hourglasses, clockwork timepieces are destined to take their places as novelties on the shelves of antiquity.

The hand on the wall clock sweeps Like a scythe, the hours reaped Dawn to dusk and night to morn Like steady hand of the Reaper shorn That never tires nor ever sleeps.

Though mortals wail in bereave The loss tolled in bygones sheaved, Still, the Harvester sickles on With steadfast stroke the hours mown Never to be retrieved.

Affordable Pet Center, Inc. recently gave Love Ran Red, the young adults that make Duke’s Delights, a donation of $600. This was part of the money made from Affordable Pet Center’s Santa Photo Day held last month.
