From the Editor’s Desk
Joe Korba
My main gripe with being a renter, as opposed to homeowner, is that I can’t own a dog. My family has always been pet owners, from Cocker Spaniels to Golden Retrievers to whatever the heck our current mutt is; we’ve always had a dog in the house. I have to say coming home after work without someone greeting you at the door like they haven’t seen you in decades is a bummer when that’s what you’re used to. My fiancé and I are currently on a real estate search and I find myself unconsciously making sure we have a pup-friendly backyard at every prospective home we visit. This is our annual “Pets Issue” and as some of you may know, the Gazette is a steadfast supporter of the animal rescues and shelters in our area. We try to include as many rescue pets on our pages (and online) as possible, along with accepting donations for local shelters at our office on Lehigh Drive. It’s a small gesture, compared with the enormity of the issue of how many strays need homes, but it’s something. You can definitely say that we’re “dog” people here in the office, carrying on a proud tradition. We may not have pets in the office to greet people walking in the door, as so many readers
Rex, my family pet. He was a rescue from Kentucky. fondly remember from Brenda Emerick’s tenure as publisher of the Gazette, but we do welcome canine visitors. It’s not unusual to hear a chorus of,“Awww, look how cute!” as my coworkers watch some puppy or kitten video while researching our latest pet page feature, “Animals Gone Viral.” I hope that you all enjoy this edition and keep an eye on our rescue pets up for adoption in every issue. Pet ownership is hard work, but it’s so worth it.

Preventing Bird Collisions With Glass Submitted by DAN R. KUNKLE Many bird lovers are dismayed when birds strike their windows. These collisions can result in injury or death to the birds and are the result of the birds seeing the surroundings reflected in the glass and expecting to fly through the area in the reflection. One way to reduce the number of strikes is to break up the reflection. The Lehigh Gap Nature Center will be holding a workshop during which you can create a variety of window decals designed to reduce bird strikes. The workshop will involve the use of CollidEscape, the material used to make the bird decals on the windows at the Nature Center. CollidEscape is a perforated vinyl material that adheres to the outside of your window. It appears white from outside, so the birds see the material and not a reflection. From inside, the material is black and you can see through it about as clearly as looking through a window screen. Join us at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22, for this workshop. Templates of birds, flowers and leaves will be available. Please bring scissors. The cost of the workshop (which is simply the cost of the material) is related to the size of your window. Material for a single, small window, such as that

Meet the Staff
For our annual pets issue, we’re telling our readers about the animals that have touched our hearts throughout the years. Joe Korba, Associate Publisher: When I was about 12, my family and I went to go look at some puppies for sale near Beltzville Lake. As soon as the woman who owned them opened the door carrying a little yellow Labrador/golden retriever furball, I fell in love. My best friend suggested naming him “Cody,” which stuck. Cody and I were best buds through pretty much every major milestone in my young life—he was the first person to greet me at the door after prom, after graduation, after my first semester away at college. We spent many hours riding together in the back of my parents’ car on long trips to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and other destinations. The dog truly had the calmest, sweetest demeanor and got me through some of the rough times of my formative years as well. I’ll always be a dog person, but I don’t think any pet will mean what Cody did to me. Danielle Tepper, Publishing Assistant: I was only 18 months old when my golden retriever, Kelly, came into my life. She was my first best friend. I was inconsolable when we had to put her down 13 years later. A year later, we welcomed our next golden, Moose (I named him after the dog in Twister). He just turned nine and he still has the energy of a playful puppy. He makes us laugh nearly every day, Kelly from the way he tosses his snacks in the air and pounces on them to his particular affection to one of his toys, a stuffed turtle named Sheldon. He loves to swim in the creeks by our house (and sometimes our pool!) and he Moose
packs a mean punch when it’s time to wrestle. He’s a dog with many nicknames and he answers to every single one. He’s my bud and I’m crazy about him. Tony Pisco, Art Director: My wife has two cats; Lucy and Linus, brother and sister. The boys enjoy trying to play with them.
Linus Lucy Alice Wanamaker, Publishing Assistant: I’ve had many pets growing up; everything from exotic saltwater fish to a shitzu dog named Tad. Currently, these two parakeets are my pets—Paco on the left and Lucy on the right. They are two young, very talkative birdies who keep me company and bring sweet music into my home during these cold winter months. Paco and Lucy Donna Bachman, Accounting Manager: Smokey is sixteen years old. She loves to sun herself every sunny day. You can find her tanning in various positions. Tyler Trumbauer, Staff Writer: For me, I’m not a huge pet person. Smokey With that being said, I’d choose my first pet, my cat, Cue, as a pet that has touched my heart. It is always a good thing for a young child to have a pet to play with and build companionship with as well. Cue was a great cat that lived a good life and brought a few extra smiles onto my face during her time with me. Readers, drop us a line on Facebook and tell us about your pets!

Northampton HS DECA Program To Hold Mattress Fundraiser By ALICE WANAMAKER Photos submitted by TARA MRAZIK The Northampton High School DECA Program will be hosting their first-ever Mattress Sale Fundraiser on Saturday, Jan. 25 in the high school lobby. The goal of this unique fundraiser is to raise enough money to send 184 students to the PA DECA State Career Development Conference in Hershey. The cost for each student, just shy of $314, is partially covered by the school district, according to the districts DECA advisor, Tara Mrazik. “Each student needs to raise $280 for the trip. NASD covers $32.93 per student,” she said of the cost and student responsibility.

Mrazik is proud of the students participating and is looking forward to accompanying them this year.
“Students who attend the PA DECA State Career Development Conference compete in either a competency-based event or a written event in hopes of qualifying for the International Career Development Conference in Atlanta, Ga. in May. In addition to the competition portion, students network with various students with like interests from across the state. Students also have the opportunity to interview for college scholarships and state officer positions. It is my distinct pleasure to bring NHS students to this amazing conference each year. They are a remarkable group of students who truly make the community proud,” she said. Shoppers will be able to shop for mattresses while supporting the students in the lobby, which will be converted to a mattress showroom for the day. A variety of sizes will be available, including twin, full, queen, king, California-king and special sizes.

If the people still needed to fill the Ice houses with ice that was frozen on the dam like they did years ago, they could have the work out of the way early this winder. Years back men became anxious when it was so mild that no ice froze through that winder. When February rolled around and the ice houses were not filled, they became afraid it would give no ice that season. Years back the people knew nothing of keeping food and drink cold with electricity. Not everyone even had ice. We remember well that it was something special when we brought home a stick

of ice which we loaded on the wagon at the ice house down at the dam next to the mill where dad let them grind feed. Dad also always told us how he always helped take the ice off the dam and load it in the ice house. They hitched a horse or mule to the ice plow to mark off the ice [in blocks], which they later sawed and broke off. We always buried the ice in the horses’ hayloft when dad brought it home and then over Sundays we made ice cream. We did not put any ice in the drinking water, but we knew that some people did that. The ice always looked very clear and sometimes we would suck on a piece of it. When one thinks how dirty the water is in the river or in the run one has to wonder how the ice could look so clear or clean. And if one thinks over how the majority men always chewed, we wonder what they had to do when they needed to spit when they were out on the ice dam. And what did they do when the horse needed to make manure? And even Wasser, that large old dog, was out with them, running all around on the ice then. And the dog occassionally had a necessity for a tree [We all know why male dogs need trees, right?], but there were none on the ice, then the ice plow came in handy. Working the ice [blocks] into the ice house was cold job, but it was a job that did bring some fun with it for the men who helped.

Retirement Road Blocks For Baby Boomers
Submitted by PA INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTS From now until 2030, about 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 every day, according to the Pew Research Center. This large generation, born between 1946 and 1964, has had a huge impact on American culture and society and that remains
the same as they head into retirement. If you or a loved one is a member of this generation, the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) offers advice on how to avoid some of the pitfalls that could prevent members of this group from enjoying a happy retirement. Be Realistic Fitness is a high priority for boomers, so it’s not surprising that their average life span continues to lengthen. According to the Social Security Administration, the average 65-year-old man today can expect to live until age 84; a woman until age 86. One of every four 65-year-olds today will live past 90, and one of every 10 will live until at least 95. That means it’s important to have a solid plan for funding your retirement years. If you don’t think you have enough for 20 or 30 years, it may be necessary to step up your savings or consider postponing your Social Security payments so you receive a higher monthly amount later on. Know What You Need You will need about 80 percent of your preretirement income to cover your expenses in retirement, according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.

The 71st Golden Globe Awards
www.townandcountrygazette.com | January 16, 2014
I. Love. Award season. I gobble up award shows like Jordan Belfort does Quaaludes. (Have you all seen “The Wolf of Wall Street” yet? Excellent film.) I’m not sure what sparked the interest, but it’s been an addiction for the past ten years or so. When each new season rolls around, I giddily strategize my DVR for best red carpet viewing and commercial fast-forwarding. The only red carpet coverage I’ll watch is E! even though Giuliana Rancic annoys the you-know-what out of me. As corny as he is, I still like Ryan Seacrest. Kelly Osbourne is tolerable and I think Ross Matthews is hilarious. When I watch them, I want to be them. It’s always been one of my dreams to report from a red carpet. I’m obsessed with stars, not because they’re famous but because of how they became famous. It fascinates me how some come from backgrounds like trailer parks and drug addiction and somehow wind up on the A-list. Plus, I can’t cry on command and I’m intensely intrigued by anyone who can. Character quirk. Anyway, to interview a celebrity is very high on my bucket list. Award season usually kicks off with some lighter fare—the People’s Choice Awards, for example, which aired Jan. 8—but the good stuff gets going with the Golden Globes, quickly followed by the Grammys, then the Oscars. It’s an exciting couple months for an entertainment geek like myself.
This year’s Globes didn’t disappoint: Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were delightfully amusing and proved why they were asked to take the lead for the second year in a row. The crowd inside the Beverly Hilton was, as per usual, decked out in luxurious designer gowns and suits (see my fashion critique below) and ready for a good time—or just ready to get it over with. The Hollywood Foreign Press chose an elite bunch (see the complete list of winners to the right) to take home the prize. Jennifer Lawrence, my personal favorite, was predictably candid and hilarious when she went up to claim hers for her role in “American Hustle.” Amy Adams won for the same film and graciously thanked her agent who “had a feeling” about her and for that, she owes her career. I personally felt Monica Potter deserved to win for her performance as cancer-stricken mother of three in “Parenthood,” but she lost to Robin Wright. And dear Jack Dawson made his way on stage to accept his Globe for The Wolf of Wall Street, class act as usual, and thanked his fifth-time director, Martin Scorsese for his vision—and for the impressive ability to cram 506 F-bombs into a three-hour film, I might add. Hands down my favorite part of the night was when darling Emma Thompson stumbled on stage with her shoes and THE FASHION: I am not a fashionista. I dress for comfort, martini in hand to present the award for not style. I think Alex & Ani is just glorified charm bracelets. Best Screenplay. Realizing she didn’t have I think Vera Bradley looks like you’re wearing a quilt. And a hand for the envelope, she chucked her I think yoga pants are the best thing since sliced cheese. shoes over her shoulder, handed the drink So when it comes time to turn on E! and watch the hour off to Miss Golden Globe, and announced Spike Jonze (for “Her.”) I’m still upset that of chaos that precedes any award show, I’m in it for the she didn’t win for her performance as P.L. interviews, not the ensembles. That being said, I still have Travers, the author of Mary Poppins, in opinions on what works and what doesn’t. My opinions “Saving Mr. Banks.” She was amazing. always differ from those in the industry—what exactly Some argue that the Globes are a good is their criteria for what makes someone Best or Worst indication for who/what will win at the Dressed anyway?—but it’s still fun to talk about. Because Academy Awards, but that theory has been contradicted many times. Time to head to I’m sure I’d certainly feel differently if I was the one the movies to construct your own ballot strutting through Hollywood wearing Oscar de la Renta! and see if it matches the Academy’s—the nominations are being announced today!
Best Dressed Sofia Vergara Wearing Zac Posen
Modern Family’s Gloria Delgado-Pritchett is always dressed to the nines. This gown, although huge, hugged her curves in all the right places. Classy and elegant, I loved it and her necklace was gorgeous.
Amy Adams Wearing Valentino
With a plunging neckline like in most, if not all, of her American Hustle scenes, Adams was flawless in this two-toned piece that matched the carpet. Loved the train.

Reddit user mmsspp (also known as Chris Naka, 30) was just goofing around with his boss’ dog one day. As he puts it, “My boss brings her dog Wrigley to work every day, and for the past month we’ve been reenacting romance scenes from movies. It all started with a stupid Titanic photo, but things escalated quickly...” Wrigley, 13, is a good sport and has played along as they’ve created scenes from classic films such as Sixteen Candles and Dirty Dancing. He posted the images three weeks ago and they quickly spread like wildfire, picked up by countless media outlets, as illustrated in Chris’ attempt at rounding them up: http://imgur.com/a/WDfGY.

It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking and I saw a little boy staring in at me. “Is that a dog you got back there?” he asked. “It sure is,” I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then toward the back of the van. Finally he said, “What’d he do?”

Bald Eagle Carpool Tour
Mon.-Fri. 7-7 Sat. 7-4
Submitted by DAN KUNKLE Avoid the holiday crowds at the ski areas and shopping malls on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan. 20) by joining naturalist Bud Cole for a carpool tour to see the resident and winter visiting bald eagles in Pike County, Pa. The tour participants will meet in Moorestown in front of the Pizza Restaurant (Routes 512 and 946) at 7:45 a.m. and in Wind Gap at 8:00 a.m. in the Arby’s parking lot. This is a full day tour! The carpool will follow Route 33, Route 115, Route 80 and Route 209 through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (with a possible stop at Raymondskill Falls, Pennsylvania’s tallest waterfall) to Matamoras, Pa. where we will cross the Delaware River into Port Jervis, N.Y. and follow Highway 97 winding upstream along the Delaware River to Lackawaxen, Pa. Pack some snacks and water. Lunch will be at the Lackawaxen Trading Post Restaurant where participants can sit next to the Lackawaxen River where bald eagles are often seen flying, perching and grabbing fish from the river. There are also excellent possibilities for seeing other wildlife such as deer, woodpeckers, wild turkeys, winter songbirds and other native Pennsylvania wildlife. There will be a stop at the Bald Eagle Institute to pick up literature about bald eagles and learn about the Institute and its goals. From Lackawaxen, the tour will follow the river road

along the Lackawaxen River to Hawley, Pa. and then back home with an optional dinner stop at Detzi’s Tavern in Wind Gap. Previous tours have observed anywhere from seven to 53 bald eagles. Last year’s group saw 39 eagles during the trip. Many bald eagles migrate south from Canada and northern N.Y. to take advantage of open waters where the Lackawaxen River joins the Delaware River. This area remains free from ice and provides excellent fishing areas for the bald eagles. Contact Bud Cole at bbbcole@enter.net or call 610-767-4043. Tour may be cancelled due to inclement weather. There is no fee, but optional donations to the Bald Eagle Institute are encouraged.

is the top team in the league and one of the best in the district and should remain in those spots as they are poised cruise deep into postseason play.
Extra Point by Tyler Trumbauer
Girls’ Basketball Mid-Season Update
Northwestern - Northwestern girls’ basketball had a fantastic regular season last year, but left the postseason with no hardware to show for it. This year they are looking to collect the titles. The Lady Tigers are 6-0 in the Colonial League and 10-0 overall as of Jan. 8. This squad is young, but extremely talented. They don’t have much height either, but they are getting the job done. “I don’t want us to be playing our best basketball right now,” admitted head coach Chris Deutsch. “I don’t want us to peak early.You want to be playing your best when it really counts at the end of the year and in the playoffs.” This team is looking to avenge their loss to Southern Lehigh in the league title game last year and their early departure from districts. So far, they are doing just that as they are one win away from qualifying for the district playoffs. This squad
Palmerton - The Lady Blue Bombers are going in a new direction this winter and that is due in large part to first-year head coach, Rodney Strohl. Strohl has guided this team to a surprising 7-2 start, with a 3-2 record in the league through Jan. 8. This is a very quick squad that also shoots well, but they don’t have size and that is a problem in basketball. “One weakness our team needs to work on is rebounding the basketball,” admitted Strohl. “Since we are a small team, we need to do a better job at this so we can run and [go on a] fast break which will help us get points on the scoreboard.” Seven wins overall for Palmerton through nine games leaves an easy path to qualifying for districts as they only need four more wins overall. However, Strohl wants to compete for the league title as well. A blowout loss to North Division leading Northwestern shows there is work to be done, but it is a safe bet that Palmerton will be participating in the postseason. Northern Lehigh - It has been rough for the Lady Bulldogs. Coming off a 2012-13 campaign

where they went 2-20, there weren’t many high hopes for this winter. They are returning a few seniors who have a lot of varsity experience, but the lack of offensive production has plagued them. The team averages about 21 points per game and scored only 15 twice. That has translated in to a 1-5 record in the CL and a 1-9 record overall through Jan. 8. Second-year head coach, Anthony Thomas, is hoping this year will pay dividends for the future. “[I want] continued hard work and improvement along with continued building of the foundation for the future teams of Northern Lehigh,” he said. Northern Lehigh’s lone win was a 26-25 defeat of Catasauqua, who is winless so far. Surpassing last year’s win total would be a positive for the Lady Bulldogs. The rest of this season is just about improving individually and hoping for better luck next year. Parkland - Last season ended with Parkland vying for a league and district title, coming up short on both accounts. This winter is headed in the same direction early on as the Lady Trojans boasted a 2-1 record in the Lehigh Valley Conference and a 4-3 record overall as of Jan. 8. Due to the winter weather, Parkland has a lot of games to make up, but so does nearly every team, and according to head coach, Wes Spence, they have a lot to work on too. “We need to improve. Offensively we need to take care of the ball and execute better in the half court and defensively we can continue to work hard to communicate better and improve our team defense,” he said. Parkland is a talented team, but is young as well. Couple that with the fact that they are competing in a fierce LVC which includes defending champion Nazareth, Bethlehem Catholic, and Central Catholic, shows that it won’t be a cake walk for Parkland into the postseason. They most likely will need to defeat at least two of those three top teams to work their way into the league playoffs. Lehighton - The Lady Indians are right in the thick of things thus far. Led by first year head coach, Eric Gidney, Lehighton possessed a 2-2 record in the Mountain Valley Conference and a 3-5 mark overall through January 8. This team has already shown vast improvement from last season both in their play and in the standings, but they still haven’t mastered closing out a contest. “[My] biggest concern would be learning [how] to win close games,” said Gidney.“The team hasn’t won much in previous seasons, so right now we are inconsistent with ‘finishing’ games. All three
Page 43
wins were close, but we need to consistently be able to win these close ones.” Lehighton has shown their improvement early on, but as they enter the meat of their league schedule with big contests against Pleasant Valley and Pocono Mountain West on the horizon, these girls will shows us all if they are contenders or pretenders for the postseason. Northampton - Northampton girls’ basketball usually produces a team that does some damage in the Lehigh Valley and this year is no different. Through Jan. 8 the K-Kids were 1-1 in the LVC and 4-3 overall. Head coach Jeff Jacksits is happy with his team, but knows the road ahead isn’t easy. “I’m pleased with our team chemistry,” he said in an email. “We have good senior leadership and the girls are starting to realize their roles […] we are heading into a tough section of our schedule where we will be playing seven games in 12 days.” That tenacious stretch includes contests against quality opponents in Parkland and Bethlehem Catholic who have 13 wins combined already. Senior guard Leandra Sterner will bring the experience that is needed to come out with a winning record from these next 12 days, because if they do, the K-Kids will be talking about the playoffs.
