INSIDE THIS ISSUE
FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK The time has come already for the Back to School issue. I’m sure for the kids it’s bittersweet, excitement for reuniting with friends but dreading the homework. For parents it’s the same, glad to see the kids go back to school and out of their hair, but we always end up missing them! I love summer, but this summer was just too hot for me. I’m looking forward to fall; cool nights, warm days, the changing of the leaves and the smell of fall candles. My favorite scent is Sweater Weather by Bath & Body Works! Don’t forget to drop off your pet donations by September 11, it’s for a good cause. All donations go to the Animal Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley. I hope you enjoy this issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together. I especially hope you enjoy the Back to School cover, my grandkids are models! Their mother Lacey Remaley did a fantastic job capturing them. -Kathy Marsh

On Thursday, August 25, 2016, Northern Lehigh High School will hold our annual Freshman Orientation Day. The transition from Middle School to high school is often difficult for many students and the purpose of this day is to introduce the students to their new surroundings and prepare them for the final stages of their public education. This year the orientation day will again be a half-day format.The day's activities begin at 7:15 a.m. and last until 12 p.m. Throughout the day, students will be introduced to the entire high school administration and faculty, assigned lockers/
combination locks, tour the building and attend scheduled classes. Also, the administration will provide the students with information regarding school policies, rules, procedures, and be introduced to our new schoolwide behavior system. Bus transportation will be available to and from students' regular bus stops and a free lunch will be provided. Parents should make every effort to ensure that their child attends this important day. Questions should be directed to Mr. Jonathan DeFrain, Ninth Grade Orientation Coordinator, at 610-767-9832 x1236 or jdefrain@nlsd.org.

DIRECTIONS • Cut sirloin into 1-inch cubes. • Saute garlic and onions in butter slowly until soft, discard garlic, remove onions from pan. • Brown cubes slowly in drippings in pan. • Add beef gravy, salt and pepper. • Return onions to pan, simmer one hour or until beef is tender. • Add oregano, marjoram and Burgundy wine, simmer 15 minutes. • Stir in sour cream and serve with rice or noodles.
COOKING WITH CATHERINE
Burgundy Beef Recipe by Joan Pierce from St. Paul’s Pantry cookbook
INGREDIENTS 2 lbs. sirloin beef cubes 1 garlic clove 2 med. onions, sliced thin 4 Tbsp. butter/margarine 2 (10¼ oz.) cans of beef gravy
Salt and pepper to taste ¼ tsp. oregano ½ c. Burgundy wine ½ pt. sour cream ¼ tsp. marjoram
My end result picture might be lacking in the looks department, but this recipe made up for it in the taste department- it is so delicious! The flavor is so rich with the gravy and the wine, and once you add the oregano towards the end, the aroma is mouthwatering. Personally, I think two onions is a lot so I don’t even add a full one, but it still looks like a lot of onion to me. I always, always use butter, never margarine. Also, I did not have marjoram, so after some research on what marjoram is; I added a little bit more oregano instead. This recipe is a bit lengthy, from prep to having it simmer on the stove for almost an hour and a half, but the end result is so worth it- this dish immediately became a favorite dinner!

Cring & Clazzy “Within” Our Town submitted by STEVE KIMBRELL
Appearing Sunday, August 21, 2016 at 8 a.m .and 10:30 a.m. at Jordan Lutheran Church, 5103 Snowdrift Road in Orefield, are Cring & Clazzy, dubbed by a recent reviewer as "the biggest two-piece band in America. They will be sharing an entertaining and inspirational program called 567: Go Tell It From The Mount. A modern-day look at The Sermon on the Mount, using music, stories and song. They will also be presenting excerpts from Mr. Cring's new book, Within, which has recently been released and is already becoming one of his best-sellers. "After traveling nearly 40 years all around this great country, I have been blessed to learn a lot about people, myself, history and God, which has been mingled with tons of humor and a whole lot of common sense," said Mr. Cring. The duo has been on the road for 20 years. In the past three years, they have reached 42 states, 362 cities, with 518 performances. "567 is a program that unites the generations, closes the political gaps and gets us to laugh long enough that we stop fussing with each other," said Ms. Clazzy, who was the first female conductor of an orchestra in the state of Tennessee,

Pastor’s Comments
Starting the new school year can be a time of great excitement… and anxiety. Help calm your child’s fears (and your own) with these teacher-approved tips. Meet the new teacher. For kids, one of the biggest back-to-school fears is “Will I like my new teacher?” Breaking the ice early on is one of the best ways to calm everyone’s fears. Take advantage of your school’s open house or back-to-school night. Some teachers welcome phone calls or e-mails — another great opportunity to get to know each other before the year begins. If personal contact with the teacher isn’t possible, try locating the teacher’s picture on a school website or in a yearbook, so your child can put a name with a face. If your child’s teacher sends a welcome letter, be sure to read the letter together. Tour the school. If your school hosts an open house, be sure to go. Familiarizing your child with her environment will help her avoid a nervous stomach on the first day. Together you can meet her teacher, find her desk, or explore the playground. With an older child, you might ask him to give you a tour of the school. This will help refresh his memory and yours.

Connect with friends. A familiar friend can make all the difference when heading back to school.You might try calling parents from last year’s class and finding out which children are in your child’s class this year. Refresh these relationships before school starts by scheduling a play date or a school carpool. Tool up. Obtain the class supply list and take a special shopping trip with your child. Having the right tools will help him feel prepared. While keeping basic needs in mind, allow for a couple of splurges like a cool notebook or a favorite-colored pen. These simple pleasures make going back to school a lot more fun. School supply lists also provide great insight into the schoolwork ahead. Get your child excited about upcoming projects by explaining how new supplies might be used. Let him practice using supplies that he’s not used before — such as colored pencils or a protractor — so he will be comfortable using them in class. Avoid last-minute drilling. When it’s almost time to stop playing, give a fiveminute warning. Giving clear messages to your child is very important. Chat about today’s events and tomorrow’s plans. While it is important to support learning throughout the summer, don’t spend the last weeks of summer vacation reviewing last year’s curriculum. All kids need some down time before the rigors of school begin. For some kids, last-minute drills can heighten anxiety, reminding them of what they’ve forgotten instead of what they remember.

Ease into the routine. Switching from a summer to a school schedule can be stressful to everyone in the household. Avoid firstday-of-school mayhem by practicing your routine a few days in advance. Set the alarm clock, go through your morning rituals, and get in the car or to the bus stop on time. Routines help children feel comfortable, and establishing a solid school routine will make the first day of school go much smoother. AUGUST 18, 2016 || townandcountrygazette.com

Cabinet Keeps Pennsylvania Bluegrass Alive By Justin Sweitzer
“Old Time Songs” is not only the the title of the opening track of Pennsylvania-based bluegrass band Cabinet’s most recent release, it also serves as an autobiographical description of the group’s style. The Scranton/Wilkes Barre outfit combines traditional elements of bluegrass, folk, americana and country, which pays homage to the country music of the past while embarking on a journey to solidify themselves as one of the premier forces in modern bluegrass. The band formed in 2006 and consists of Pappy Biondo who handles vocals and the banjo, mandolinist and vocalist J.P. Biondo, Mickey Coviello on acoustic guitar and vocals, Dylan Skursky on both electric and double bass, Todd Kopec who plays the fiddle and contributes vocals, as well as Jami Novak on the drums and additional percussion. Listeners who cringe at the thought of modern country music can breathe a sigh of relief as Cabinet’s latest release, their 2015 effort entitled Celebration, mixes instrumental virtuosity with an effortless form of storytelling that abandons modern country’s played out themes of women, trucks and being country for anthems of small town life in rural Pennsylvania and beyond. Each song on Celebration presents a different and unique story told through catchy vocal melodies and impressive instrumental interludes. No member

outshines another as the proficiency of each member’s talent is evident without overshadowing one another. The band’s song “Pennsylvania” pays tribute to their local roots as it tells of drives through the countryside, days spent at lakes and visions of the Appalachian mountains--common characteristics to life in Pennsylvania’s rural areas. Pappy Biondo’s banjo solo midway through the song truly stands out in the group’s salute to their state. Their track “Home Now” circles around the comforts of returning home in a narrative that references one’s brush up with the law, featuring quick banjo picking and a harmonica on one of the album’s most uptempo songs. “Red River Valley” slows down the pace from other songs on Celebration, offering a perfect song for an evening slow dance with the song’s mellow solos from guitarist Mickey Coviello and fiddler Todd Kopec, showing that the band can excel no matter the speed or style of the song. “Tears of Laughter” also makes use of slower tempos coupled with lyrics about how to rise past adversity both in love and other facets of life. “If you find yourself drifting too far from the shore,” the band sings, “You could steer yourself through the stormy weather. If you trust in your love it will go on forever.” All eight tracks on Celebration carry the essence of storytelling in the folk, bluegrass and country genres. As stated on the band’s website, the band’s “roots firmly planted in the Appalachian tradition” are evident in Cabinet’s stellar work on Celebration. Cabinet is a rising star in the world of bluegrass, carrying the torch for the forebearers of the genre, while carving out a path uniquely their own to as they look to make their own mark. More information on Cabinet can be found on cabinetmusic.com and their music can be purchased on iTunes and Google Play.

If you have been on rides at Dorney Park, then you have ridden with him, since he put many of them up. We are expecting about 150+ to attend the bingo.

And begin once right away, pretty darn quick To show the farmers how it done.
[Did his idea come from ‘cow’ weathervanes?] I will cool the milk off in the oven – Stairs would not be walked much; My butter will I churn by the quart And I will make the cottage cheese very fine.
There is perhaps something that I must learn, [The mature plant] does not appear at the first sprouting. [Of] this, however, I want to warn you now – I am very quick at learning.
Chickens, I will feed out of the bottle – My neighbors, I bet, almost mess themselves; I will lay pipes out from the nests So eggs will roll straight into the house.
There is a difference in the way how I will lay out my farm; The farmers today are in a rut, As everyone in this area knows.
[When] the chickens stand up to cackle, And see no eggs in the nest, Perhaps they will sit down again
The straw stacks, which commonly stand All the way out in the field where no one goes, Would be stood up nearby in the orchard – This “shredded wheat” cost too much money. At my farm there will be no potato patch, This ‘picking up’ is so hard on the back; And ‘bending down’ makes one lame – So I will graft mine on a tree. The cows go out on the barn roof, I bet you say, “There is no such thing;” I will tie their legs to the lightning rod And milk them in my Sunday suit.

PA, but grew up near Gilbert in Monroe County where his family had a creamery. So he was familiar with farming in general and dairy farming in particular. His poem about a city person going out to a rural area to show the county folks how to farm uses tongue-in-cheek humor to show the perception that “country bumpkins” had of those “city slickers”. During his lifetime he also made the transition from rural living to city dwelling. While at Gilbert he graduated from the Fairview Academy and then attended Muhlenberg College. Later he joined the engineering departments of local railroads and finally the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, from which he retired in 1957. When he was working for a railroad in 1920 he was already living in Allentown and that was also his residence when he passed away in 1969. He is best known for his Dutch poetry, 331 poems in all, and they reflect his strong identification with his rural PA Dutch roots. He first started writing dialect poetry upon the passing of a former beloved pastor of his church at Gilbert, Rev. Astor C. Wuchter, who also wrote poetry in the Dialect. In 1969 the Pennsylvania German Society published 112 of his poems in their second annual volume. Most of his poems, unlike the one I chose because of its humor, reflect the culture of the Dutch and the rural lifestyle in general. In the future I will include some of his other poems in this column.

Meet Pookie! Pookie is just about the most adorable dog or should we say stuffed animal ever! He is a 15 year old Pomeranian who was surrendered after his owners could not care for him. Pookie has some of the normal age related aliments including cataracts, and limited hearing but he certainly makes up for that with his sweetness! He is so gentle and is very content just
hanging out. Pookie is looking for a quiet home to spend the rest of his golden years in. He would love it if someone is home most of the day with him. Pookie is reportedly pee pad trained and he would likely do fine with other dogs that are just as calm and quiet as he is.

around small garden areas. This is usually enough to keep out deer that seem to avoid small confined spaces. The larger the area, the more likely deer will enter. Some gardeners report success surrounding their garden or landscape with strands of fishing line set at 12” and 36” above the ground. Low voltage electric fencing or posts baited with a deer repellent are also options. Just be sure to check with your local municipality before installing this type of fencing. Scare tactics are less effective on deer in urban environments. They are used to human scents and sounds. Many gardeners report success with motion
Five Ways to Protect Your Garden from the Deer By MELINDA MYERS
Don’t let your vegetable and fall flower gardens succumb to hungry deer. Even if you’re lucky enough to be deer-free now, be vigilant and prepared to prevent damage as these beautiful creatures move into your landscape to dine. Here are five tactics to help you in the battle against these hungry animals: Fencing is the best, though not always practical, way to control deer. Install a 4 to 5foot-high fence

sensor sprinklers. As the deer passes in front of the motion sensor it starts the sprinkler and sends them running. Just be sure to turn off the sprinkler when you go out to garden. Repellents that make plants taste or smell bad to deer can also help. You will find products containing things like garlic, hot pepper oil, and predator urine. Apply them before the animals start feeding for the best results, and reapply as directed on the label. Look for products like Deer Ban (summitchemical.com) that are easy to apply, odorless and last a long time. Include deer resistant plants whenever possible. Even though no plant is one hundred percent deerproof, there are those the deer are less likely to eat. Include plants rated as rarely or seldom damaged by deer. And be sure to provide additional protection if you include plants known to be frequently or severely damaged. Constantly monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the methods used. Deer often change their feeding location and preferred food. If the populations are high and the deer are hungry, they will eat just about anything. Be willing to change things up if one method is not working. Using multiple tactics will help increase your level of success. So don’t let hungry deer stop you from gardening.

to northeastern Pennsylvania communities. Smithfield partnered with Weis Markets and Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) to present the donation to the Weinberg Northeast Regional Food Bank during an event on Friday, July 29 at Weis Markets, located at 924 Weir Lake Rd., Brodheadsville, PA. Speakers discussed the importance of donations like these in northeastern Pennsylvania, where more than 13 percent of individuals are food insecure. “The King” of racing, Richard Petty, who has partnered with the Smithfield Helping Hungry Homes program to donate thousands of pounds of protein over recent years, was present to discuss the importance of these donations from Smithfield and to raise awareness about the necessity of providing assistance to our neighbors in need. Helping Hungry Homes, now in its eighth year, is Smithfield’s coast-to-coast program to help Americans become more food secure. This year, the program will help fight hunger through more than 30 large-scale protein donations to food banks across the United States totaling more than 3.5 million servings. To date, Helping Hungry Homes has provided more than 40 million servings of protein to food banks across America. “The Weinberg Regional Food Bank relies on the generous support of food donors like Smithfield, financial donors, and volunteers to accomplish its

mission,” said Gene Brady, executive director of the Weinberg Northeast Regional Food Bank. “Without this support, we could not feed hungry families and children across northeastern Pennsylvania every day.” “It’s an honor to partner with Smithfield and Richard Petty Motorsports in this donation benefitting the Weinberg Northeast Regional Food Bank,” said John Grimes, Weis Markets’ vice president of meat and seafood. “At Weis Markets, giving back to the communities we serve is a top priority, and providing much needed support to local food banks allows us the opportunity to help in the fight against hunger. This sizable donation will have a positive impact on the lives of thousands of people throughout northeastern Pennsylvania, and it’s a really good feeling to help families let go of the worry about how they’ll put food on the table.” “Smithfield is proud to partner with Weis Markets and RPM to provide the Weinberg Food Bank with this donation through our Helping Hungry Homes program,” said Dennis Pittman, Smithfield senior director of corporate communications and public affairs.“Food insecurity means that someone does not know from where their next meal will come, and it is a very real situation that can happen to anyone. We are proud to provide this wholesome protein to the food bank to help meet the needs of
38
families and individuals throughout communities in northeastern Pennsylvania.” “Richard Petty Motorsports is honored to participate in this donation leading up to Pocono race weekend,” said Petty. “So many race fans are loyal customers of Smithfield and shop at Weis Markets, so it’s great to see the two organizations partnering to give back to the communities that support them, and our race team, throughout the year.”
