What is it about a cold milkshake on a hot summer night that makes you feel like a kid again? I love ice cream and therefore love milkshakes! I love chocolate, mint, coffee flavored and strawberry but by far my favorite milkshake is a simple vanilla, extra thick. If I am at home I use this recipe (courtesy of PaulaDeen.com) to blend up a good ol' fashion vanilla milkshake. Makes 4 servings. Ingredients: 8 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 4 cups vanilla ice cream, 2 cups milk, less for thicker milkshakes Directions: Using a blender or milkshake machine, blend all ingredients together until smooth.

Serve in tall glasses with a straw.

The Ice Cream Lab wins our 2012 Reader’s Poll 2012

COOLEST TREAT

The cavalcade of votes has been totaled and our readers have chosen their favorite local business that specializes in cool treats in our 2nd Annual Coolest Treat contest. The Ice Cream Lab, located at 350 S. Best Ave in Walnutport, edged out the competition this year to take the prize.

Ice Cream lab proprietors Tim & Wendy Pitts have owned the business since 1993, when they bought Ice Cream World and redesigned it to their vision. The Pitts were big fans of the original business and didn’t want to pass up an opportunity when Ice Cream World went up for sale. “We were some of the best customers there, and then the place went up for sale. We just wanted free ice cream,”Tim joked.

Tim and Wendy wanted to combine the fun of ice cream with education and began to hold classes in the “lab” side of their ice cream parlor. The Ice Cream lab hosts educational sessions, with different packages available for field trips, including sessions on things like the history of ice cream and origins of certain delicious dairy creations. All of the Ice Cream Lab’s “Technicians” that work field trips and birthday parties are certified teachers. “We’re blending education and entertainment around America’s favorite dessert,” Wendy explained.

The Ice Cream Lab is constantly coming up with new and interactive Ice Cream activities including a “Creation Station” on weekend evenings from 7 to 10 p.m. where both adults and children can make their own ice cream treats. They also have a reading program during the week and lots of other activities throughout their year-round schedule. You can visit their website at www.icecreamlabpa.com for more information. “We get a great response from the customers for the reading program and other

Tim & Wendy Pitts and their children. community events we do throughout the year.

They really support us,” Wendy said.

The Ice Cream Lab’s popularity with locals is no surprise given the quality ingredients that make their products stand out. According to Tim, they are one of the few local ice cream places that make their own ice cream from scratch. “The secret to good ice cream is the butter fat content, ours is 14 – 16%, which really means we have gourmet ice cream,” Tim said.

Their ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, and all their other products, including their popular ice cream cakes, are all made in house.

The next step in their continuing evolution is going to be the addition of a healthier, gelato based product, not to be confused with the inferior similarly named product from a wellknown franchise. This low-fat option is made by being slow churned with ingredients that will be imported from Italy. So, keep an eye out for that and all the other delicious cool treats that Tim, Wendy and their staff will be coming up with in the future.

Pet Page Grainger

Breed: Terrier Mix • Age: 1.5 Years Hello, Grainger here. I am a handsome young fellow, looking to find my forever home. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am young and high energy, so I will need someone who doesn't expect me to be a couch potato and who will be willing to follow through with my training. Even though I am very friendly, I still have those puppy manners, which means I do tend to get overexcited at time. All in all, I am looking for a family who doesn't just get caught up in how cute I am, but who is willing to make a life long commitment to help me be everything that I have the potential to be. Do you think that could be you?

Chocolate Please

A man approaches an ice cream van and asks, “I’d like two scoops of chocolate ice cream, please.”

The girl behind the counter replied, “I’m very sorry, sir, but our delivery didn’t come this morning. We’re out of chocolate.”

“In that case,” the man continued, “I’ll have two scoops of chocolate ice cream.”

“You don’t understand, sir,” the girl says. “We have no chocolate.”

“Then just give me some chocolate,” he insists.

The man spells, “V A N.” “Now spell ‘straw,’ as in ‘strawberry.’”

“OK. S-T-R-A-W.” “Now,” the girl asked, “spell ‘stink,’ as in chocolate.”

The man hesitates, then confused, replied, “There is no stink in chocolate.”

“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you!” she screams

Nu-Blu to perform at LV Bluegrass Festival

Pinecastle recording artist Nu-Blu will perform at The Lehigh Valley Bluegrass Festival, located at 4550 Old Packhouse Rd, Schnecksville on July 21 & 22. The festival begins at 10am. Also performing, Dan Paisley, Darren Beachley, Carrol County Ramblers, and many more.

Through the years, Nu-Blu has worked hard to develop a group that would give the listener a diverse experience. By mixing their original songs along with traditional material, and even incorporating songs from other genres, the group has certainly created a unique and driving blend of music that keeps audiences coming back for more.

Nu-Blu was founded by husband and wife team, Carolyn and Daniel Routh. Carolyn, on bass, provides her trademark lead vocals with impressive clarity and vocal range and Daniel, on guitar, brings his songwriting and vocal talents to the group. The two young guns, Levi Austin (banjo and vocals) and Austin Koerner (mandolin) fill out the ranks providing the band with a solid and talented backbone.

In May 2010, Nu-Blu released their first album, NIGHTS, along with the single, “Spin on the Red Brick Floor.” Radio immediately welcomed the album as evidenced by its debut at #10 on the Euro Americana Chart, reaching as high as #7 on the Roots Music Bluegrass Report, and spending more than 5 weeks on the Americana Music Association’s Top 40 chart as an indie release.

Several months later, the band was awarded the “2010 Country Band of the Year” by the Carolina Music Awards.

Released on August 9th., 2011, Nu-Blu’s current album, THE BLU DISC, and single, “Other Woman’s Blues” are also seeing much success on multiple chart. It has reached as high as #2 on Power Source Magazine’s Top 35 Bluegrass Song

chart and the album has appeared on Bluegrass Music Profiles Magazine Top 20 Hot Singles, Roots Music Report Top 50 Bluegrass Albums, The Alternate Root Magazine’s Top 66 Bluegrass Albums and many more. The band recently released a new music video of “Other Woman’s Blues”that is a clever answer song to Dolly Parton’s mega hit “Jolene” (written from Jolene’s point of view.) The video can be viewed at Ya’llWire.com or on Nu-Blu’s website at www.nu-blu.com Fans are also encouraged to download Nu-Blu’s free smart phone APP that provides live feeds from the popular Bluegrass Blog, WorldWideBluegrass. com, BluegrassTV, Napster, Last FM and Nu-Blu News and Tour Dates.

CHIP Program announced In Palmerton Park

Lehighton Lodge #621 Free & Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania and the Community Services Committee of the Carbon County Association of Realtor's have announced a joint project creating a Kids Fair in the Palmerton Community Park on Saturday, August 4th, 2012, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.

This event is centered around the safety of the children in communities throughout Carbon County. The goal is to have a day filled with programs, informational displays and short seminars that will provide valuable information that will hopefully help keep children safe and provide them with safety tips that will help them make good decisions when they are in questionable situations.

The highlight of the day will be a CHILD ID PROGRAM (CHIP); when parents will be given an Amber Alert System compatible CD-ROM of the digital information collected. (Supplies are limited, so you may want to arrive early and complete the registration process.)

In the event that your child should ever become missing or separated from you, the Masonic CHIP "Purple Packet" gives law enforcement and recovery officials essential materials to help find your child. All identifying materials generated during a Masonic CHIP event are given to the child's family. The program is free of charge to participating parents, as a result of generous public and private donations. In conjunction with this Kids Fair, the Realty Association will hold a community yard sale.

NOVA Strong with Community Support Members of the Board of Directors of Northern Valley EMS [NOVA] held a round table providing financial and operations updates to the municipalities and counties in its coverage area as well as the State of Pennsylvania and the Federal Government. NOVA, a non profit ambulance corps, covers a broad area including Washington Township, North Whitehall Township, the Borough of Slatington, the Borough of Walnutport, and parts of Lowhill Township.

United States Senator Charles Dent attended the discussion personally and representatives from the offices of Julie Harhart, Robert Casey and Pat Toomey participated in the discussions along with representatives from Washington Township, North Whitehall Township, and the Borough of Slatington. The round table featured input from members of the Lehigh County Emergency Management Agency, the Lehigh County Ambulance Association and the Eastern Pennsylvania Emergency Medical Services Council.

NOVA is advocating 2 Federal bills. One is the MAAPA Bill (S. 424, H.R. 1005) to increase funding from Medicare and the second is the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Improvements Act of 2011 (S.

1696, H.R. 4018) to provide compensation to EMS personnel killed or disabled in the line of duty.

An additional bill from the State of PA is HB 1344.

HB 1344 will mandate insurance companies to pay directly to the EMS service and not the patient.

The Bill passed the House 197-0 resting in the State Senate with an unpredictable future.

Throughout the State of Pennsylvania ambulance corps are experiencing shortages in staffing of trained and experienced emergency personnel, decreased compensation from insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid, increased operations costs, and the need to increase salaries to compensate for the cost of living. In many cases these circumstances are leading to financial difficulties which result in sudden stoppage of operations until financial breakdowns are rectified typically from outside sources such as local municipalities and private enterprise.

In the midst of these growing concerns NOVA was happy to report financial stability. Thanks to strong leadership by its Board of Directors and the ongoing support of the municipalities Continued on Page 24

A Touch of Dutch Zerickkumme zu meine ‘Watzle’ Heidesdaags deel Leit saage mir misse zerickkumme zu unsere Watzle. Nau wisse mir, as die Mensche ken Watzle hen, wie die Beem odder die Blanze hen. Unsere Watzle, as uns Lewe gewe hen, sin unsere Eldre un Voreldre. Dann zu was misse mir zerickkumme? Sie meene, as mir zu unsere Eldre ihrer Waertwelt zerickkumme missde. Un ich will eich saage, as es aa mehner fer mich meene deet, un sell iss was ich browier fer auszulege do.

Ich hab mei Fraa gheiert im Yaahr 1976. In vier Yaahr iss zu re neier Heemet in Unner Naazrett Daunschip gezoge warre.

Schpeeder waar ich en bissel wunnerfitzich weeich, wer mei Voreldre waare un wu sie gewohnt hen ghatt. Die Gerichtbicher un Karrichbicher sin neigeguckt warre un die Gschickde vun sellre Gegend sin gelese warre. Un was hawwich ausgfunne? Fer eens, sin unser Haus un unsere Nochbere ihre Heiser nadierlich gebaut warre uff die Felder vun re ganz alder Bauerei. Selli waar erscht en Deel vun de Penn Familye ihrem Druckenland Lossement, as greesser as wie 12,000 Acker waar.

Die Penns hen en Landmesser, der William Parsons, gedingt un er hot viele Bauereie ausgelegt druff, un die Mehrheit,as er eigelaade hot fer druff schaffe,waare deitsche Bauere. Er hot gsaat, die Deitsche waere hattschaffich un schpaarsam.

Die Deitsche waare yuscht Lehnbauere, awwer sie hen scheene Bauereie gemacht aus nix. Der erscht Lehnbauer uff em Land, wu ich un mei Nochbere wohne heit, waar der Nicholas Schall, eens vun meine Voreldre uff meim Daadi seinre Seid. Er hot hiegezoge im Yaahr 1758, noochdem sei erschdi Bauerei runnergebrennt waar warre im Insche Grieg.

Eb es 19 Yaahrhunnert aagfange hot, hen die Penn Familye all die Bauereie uff ihrem Lossement verkaaft ghatt zu de Lehnbauere. Wann der Bauer, as des Land ge-egt hot baut im Yaahr 1850, geloffe iss iwwer der Waggebeiweg newich seinre Bauerei, waere sei Nochbere an der neegscht Bauerei der Daniel un die Anna Maria Schortz.

Die Anna Maria waar en eldri Schweschder zu em Daniel Gradwohl, me zwett Urgrossvadder vun mir.

Ya, ich kann saage, ich hab zerickkumme zu meine Watzle, zum Land,wu mei Voreldre gewohnt hen, un ihre Lewe verdient hen.

-Larry Gradwohl

Coming back to my Roots Today some people say we must come back to our roots. Now, we know that people do not have roots like trees or plants. Our roots, that gave us life, are our elders and forefathers. Then to what must we come back? They mean that we must come back to our elder’s values. And I will say to you that it also means more to me, and that is what I’ll try to explain here.

My wife and I were married in 1976. Four years later we moved into a new home in Lower Nazareth Township. Later I became curious concerning who my ancestors were and where they had lived.

The court records and the church registers were looked into and the local histories of that area were read. And what did I find? For one, our house and our neighbor’s houses were naturally built on the fields of a very old farm. That farm was first a part of the Penn family’s Dryland Manor, which was larger than 12,000 acres. The Penn’s hired a surveyor, William Parsons, and he laid out many farms on that manor and the majority he brought in to work them was Pennsylvania German farmers. He said that the Dutch are hard working people and they can get by with little in life. The Dutch were just tenant farmers, but they created really nice farms out of nothing. The first tenant farmer on the land where my neighbors and I now live was Nicholas Schall, a direct ancestor on my dad’s side. He moved here in 1758, after his first farm was burned down in the French and Indian War. Before the 19th century commenced, the Penns sold all the farms on their manor to the tenant farmers. If the farmer who owned this land in about 1850, walked across the wagon lane that ran along his property, his neighbors at the next farm would be Daniel and Anna Maria Schortz. Mary was an older sister of Daniel Gradwohl, a second great grandfather to me.

Yes, I can say I returned to my roots, to the land where my forefathers lived and where they earned their living.

Page 31

early 1900s and irons that were not electric. You will find old toys, tools, books and most recently, a handcrafted wooden lathe was donated to the society which would be of particular interest to the men. These are just a few items from years ago that are on display at the Lehigh Township Historical Centre , off Route 248 in Pennsville.

The memorabilia at the historical centre would be of interest to the whole family. If you have not visited the centre, plan to do so sometime soon.

Congratulations Kevin Kromer on Your Victory!

The Super Cup Stock Car Series made its annual visit to Motordrome Speedway with Jody The Hurricane Harrison setting the fastest time in qualifying. In the 50-lap feature, which was completed with only one caution flag, Walnutport, PA resident Kevin Kromer used an engine borrowed from previous event winner Todd Peck.

As one of only a few Keystone State drivers on the tour, Kromer drove to victory in his home state, defeating a field of drivers from WV, IN, VA, and NY. Kromer also grabbed bonus points for leading at the halfway point and for leading the most laps.

Series standings leader Harvey Harrison finished second, with Jody Harrison third, Indiana Late Model legend Jim Crabtree fourth, and his son, rookie J.P. Crabtree fifth.

Extra Point

by Tyler Trumbauer

Writing is a way to express yourself. People blog, keep journals and diaries, have pen pals or write as a career. I plan to do this for the rest of my life.

Writing and journalism means so much to me. It gives me a way to let my thoughts out on paper.

My opinions and style gets portrayed eloquently in words for others to read. The euphoria I feel when I get complimented for my writing is just too powerful to not keep writing forever.

My love for writing; sports writing in particular is the reason why I love and am so gracious for the opportunity I got here at the Town & Country Gazette. More than one year ago I approached the Gazette proposing the idea of me penning a local sports column that publishes occasionally. Alice Wanamaker, an associate publisher for Innovative Designs & Publishing, the parent company of the Town & Country Gazette, seemed intrigued by the idea and invited me to the offices for a meeting with her and the editor of the Gazette, Joe Korba.

The meeting went fabulous and we all knew that this could possibly be great for not only a young writer like me, but also for the Gazette as readers have been without a sport column for some time.

It started out printing just once a month. Then it expanded to writing a column for every issue. The Gazette increased my passion for sports writing which lead me to enter another writing endeavor at the beginning of this calendar year.

In January of 2012 I became a member of the Fansided family as I was hired as a staff writer for the Philadelphia sports blog, Section 215. Section 215 is a total Philadelphia sports blog where we discuss everything from the Phillies to the Union.

I began my tenure there as the Eagles and Phillies writer and put countless hours of research and writing in to my posts to increase our views and

build an up and coming sports blog. All that I poured in to that blog has paid off as in May I made an appearance on the local sports talk radio station, 1470AM The Fox. I was on air for one hour on the drive-home show, After Further Review, with Bob Holder and Jeff Warner, talking about the Phillies and the Eagles and it was a great experience for a young sports journalist like myself. Also, another great reward of my hard work is my promotion at Section 215 from staff writer to Editor-in-Chief that will go through this week. That new position will enhance my writing career.

I wanted to take time to express my gratitude to everyone in my life that has boosted my writing career at such a young age. My biggest thank you’s go out to Joe and Alice for giving a motivated 15 year old a chance to get experience covering sports and giving me freedoms with my columns. I want to also say thanks to Frank Higgins, the current Editor-in-Chief of Section 215 and the man that hired me as a staff writer. Frank taught me all about sports blogging and how to generate some buzz with my online writing. Viral stories are very important as the future of journalism is more online based than paper based. To wrap it up, I just want to say thank you to you, my readers, for being so nice. I have received so many compliments from acquaintances about my columns. It is you all that keep me going and keeps pumping more passion in to my writing. Thank you all for everything and I am looking forward to continue my writing for this publication for years to come.

Business BLUE MOUNTAIN

Reiss Cycle LLC Founders: Brad & Hope Reiss Location: 4685 Lehigh Drive, Walnutport Since: June, 1994 Hours: Tuesday – Friday 9 am – 6 pm Saturday 9 am – 1 pm Mission: Provide Quality Service in a Family Atmosphere.

Generations of Service: From the time he was a little kid Brad Reiss was a biker.

He watched his father work on bikes at their home as a kid and learned as much as he could. By the time he was eight, Brad had his hands dirty helping his dad at Hunsicker’s Cycles in Aquashicola. Brad got his first bike from his parents in 1968, and it has been his love ever since. Riding motorcycles can be traced all the way back to Brads great grandfather, Harry Keck, who was an Allentown Motorcycle Police Officer from 1919-1939. Brad and Hope share the love of motorcycles and passed it to their son Jr. who helped them open the shop and works with them today. Brad Jr. has two kids, a ten year old daughter Shelby who has already made two trips to Florida on back of a bike and the newest member of the Reiss family, Bodie who was born earlier this year and will be riding in the near future.

History: Brad was born a biker and he always wanted to open his own shop. In the summer of 1993 Brad, Hope and their ten year old son moved to Florida while Brad attended the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI). He graduated on June 6, 1994 and four days later they were back in PA to start the family business. Reiss Cycle originally operated out of their 20 X 20 garage. It took just over a year for the business to outgrow the location and they moved into their current location on Route 248 in July of 1995. Since then, the building has been expanded four times, including the latest addition of the showroom. Brad, Hope and their son Jr. were there at the beginning and continue to work together

along with two full-time and one part- time employee.

About Us: The crew at Reiss Cycle can diagnose your bike and make it run like new again, or better! They are equipped with factory-trained technicians, electrical diagnosing as well as a Dyno tuning center.

The techs service all major brands of bikes. Like their motto says: “From tires to engines, we do it all.”

While the crew loves working on bikes, they are also do-it-yourself friendly. A full line of parts is available in the showroom.

Brad will even offer up some tips for your project. In addition to service and parts, the new showroom offers a wide range of gear from mugs to t-shirts and tank tops.

Quality Service: Reiss Cycle is a busy place. Tuesday through Saturday there is a seemingly never-ending supply of bikes in the parking lot, and the secret behind their success isn’t really a secret at all. “We do quality work at fair prices” Brad said of his work, “We’re just the average person helping the average person.”

Community Involvement: Hope Reiss along with her brother founded Dolce & Banana, an online clothing site for kids and adults. Sales from dolceandbananakids. com go directly to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. In 2002 Reiss Cycle hosted a very successful bikini bike-wash for the Dreams Come True Foundation and raised enough money to make two dreams come true. Reiss Cycle is also an annual participant and sponsor of the Race for Adam.

Memberships: Brad and Hope are members of Zinc City Motorcycle Club and Lehigh Valley Hog. Phone: 610-760-0557 Find Us on Facebook: Reiss Cycle LLC

Miller-Keystone Blood Center Issues Call For Donors

Miller-Keystone Blood Center has issued a call for blood donors of all blood types.

“While all blood types are needed at this time, we are critically in need of O-positive and O-negative donations,” says Joseph Yelo, Vice President of Administration, confirming that hospital blood usage escalated significantly over the holiday weekend.

“Over the past 5 days, our regional hospitals have required approximately 1,200 units of blood to treat the victims of several critical accidents,” Yelo explains. “However, only 685 units of blood have been donated during this time. This has caused our community blood inventory to drop to critical levels. We are asking all eligible donors to schedule an appointment today.”

As the only blood supplier to our regional hospitals, he notes, the Blood Center needs approximately 500 blood donors to walk through its doors every day, in order to meet patient needs. These blood products are required to care for premature infants, accident or burn victims, surgical patients, or individuals undergoing

Page 49

chemotherapy.

Donating blood is completely safe and easy, and takes less than one hour. In order to donate, individuals must be 17 years of age or older, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and be in general good health; they must not have donated in the past eight weeks. All donors are also required to provide valid identification; ID must have the donor’s name printed on it, plus a photo and/or signature.

Individuals can register to donate at: •Allentown: 1255 S. Cedar Crest Boulevard, Suite 1300 •Bethlehem: 1465 Valley Center Parkway •Easton: Chrin Commons Building, 2925 William Penn Highway, Suite 105 •Hazleton: 426 Airport Road, 4 Beltway Commons •Lionville: 128 Eagleview Boulevard •Reading: 2745A Leiscz’s Bridge Road For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the Blood Center at 610-6915850; or for a listing of blood drives in your area, visit www.GIVEaPINT.org.

But Buffalo Don’t Have Wings!

A Brief History of Everyone’s Favorite Bar Food

By Joe Korba

The city of Buffalo, New York, is an old working class rust belt town that some may say has seen better days. However, something great was born there that changed the face of junk food forever.

It is sometimes disputed, but most connoisseurs of fried and spicy deliciousness agree that the Buffalo Wing was spawned when the owner of the Anchor Bar, Teressa Bellissimo, concocted a dish from left over chicken wings, fried after being marinated in a buttered chili sauce, and served with blue cheese dressing and celery. That was way back in 1964. The wings were an instant hit and soon caught on nationwide. Since that fateful

RON’S HANDYMAN SERVICE

October day 48 years ago, when Ms. Bellissimo unknowingly started a national craze, you can find some version of her recipe in pretty much any city or small town you visit throughout the country.

The city of Buffalo acknowledges its place in culinary history and has deemed July 29th as “Chicken Wing Day.”Today, the Anchor Bar, where the first wings were served, sells over 70 thousand pound of chicken Monthly! (I didn’t believe it either, but some quick research verified – ed.) So, on July 29th you have an excuse to enjoy some chicken wings at your favorite local wing spot.

the great acting and chemistry between the two leads. Andrew Garfield as the titular character and Emma Stone as the less famous Spidey beau Gwen Stacy bring the characters to life and capture the tone of Spiderman comics effortlessly.

The Amazing Spider-Man is a solid addition to the Marvel Comic Book Movie canon.

Ted – (Dir. Seth MacFarlane. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis) C: The first directorial effort by the creator of Family Guy is pretty much exactly what you’d expect. The plot is loosely developed and the jokes are random and mostly based around a cursing teddy bear and lowhanging fruit pop culture targets. The story, or what passes for one, is about the character played

by Mark Wahlberg’s seemingly inability to grow up and get serious with his long-time girlfriend played by Mila Kunis. Both Kunis and Wahlberg are game and have good comedic timing and play a couple that is fairly believable given the circumstances of having a drunken, stoned, hedonistic anthropomorphic stuffed bear living with them. It’s a funny, occasionally hilarious, but ultimately forgettable summer popcorn flick.

Evangelist Jimmy Millikin to Speak in Northampton The Jimmy J. Millikin Musical and Evangelistic Family of Claremore, Oklahoma, will conduct revival services beginning Sunday morning, July 22, and continuing through Friday evening, July 27, at Northampton Assembly of God, 3449 Cherryville Road, Northampton. Services will be held at 10:45 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, and at 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Evangelist Jimmy Millikin and his wife, Shauna, minister through inspirational combinations of gospel songs and instrumentals. Shauna plays the piano as they sing, and Jimmy plays soul-

stirring saxophone solos. In previous ministry in the church they were a great blessing to the congregation as Jimmy preached anointed gospel messages and emphasized seeking the Lord at the altar.

The services will also emphasize joyful congregational singing, praise, and worship to God with special times of prayer and seeking God around the altar.

Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark cordially invites the public to attend.

ICE CREAM

by Johnson, Moll, & King

In the land of ice and snow Up among the Eskimo There's a college known as Oogie-wawa.

You should hear those college boys Gee, they make an awful noise When they sing their Eskimo tra la la.

They've got a leader, big cheer leader, oh what a guy!

He's got a frozen face just like an Eskimo Pie. When he says, "Come on, let's go!"

Though it's forty-five below Listen what those Eskimo all holler: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Rah, rah...Oogie de wawa rah rah rah!

Tuesday, Monday, we all scream for Sundae!

Sis, boom, Aurora borealea, bah!

Boola boola Sasparoola We've got the chocolate I'll take vanoola I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Rah, rah, ice cream soda or gingerale pop!

Father mother

Sister brother When they've had one at lion They want another Colleges may come and go But the world will never know Any other place like Oogie-wawa Oxford, Cambridge, Eaton too Football teams would all turn blue When they played a game with Oogie-wawa Those Esquimos looked mighty tough when they took the field And people said, Ah, they're the team that never will yield Then with gore and flying fur Just to show how tough they were All those Esquimos began to holler Iceberg, Lindberg, Sol Berg and Ginzberg, Ice cream Cohen.

I scream, you scream, everybody wants ice cream.

Rah, rah, raaazberry!

Celebrating 40 years in Business Carl Grega opened Carl’s Service Center in 1972 in the former Lentz’s Garage, located at Route 873 and Old Post Road in Washington Township. The garage was built in the mid 1930’s and was owned and operated by Dewey Lentz from that time until 1972.

Carl opened for business in July of that year as a full service gas station and auto repair shop. In the 90’s, Carl Jr. joined his fathers business. By that time, the gas pumps were gone and the garage became a state of the art diagnostic center.

We would like to thank our many customers who have made our celebration possible and a very special thank you to those of you who have been with us since 1972.

For professional service, done right the first time, you can depend on us.
