First “Float Your Boat” Parade In Walnutport
Submitted by MARY SURDOVEL The Walnutport Canal Association is announcing its first “Float Your Boat” parade on June 13 at 3 p.m. followed by the Third Annual Feast-ival at 4 p.m. at the pavilion. Imagine people lining both sides of the canal, watching decorated floating vessels paddling past. Anyone can participate: social groups, families, and businesses. Decorate a canoe, kayak, or raft, grab a life preserver and a paddle, and you can be a part of this unique event. Prizes will be awarded for the most comical,
most artistic and the judges’ favorite. There will also be an award for the crowd favorite which will be awarded by public voting by monetary donations for the float. The float with the highest monetary donations will be declared the winner. The Walnutport Canal Association will split the donations with the participants of the parade. It is not too late to participate. Download a registration form from The Walnutport Canal Association Facebook page or call Mary at 610760-0262. The day is not finished with the parade. The fun continues at the annual “Feast-ival” at 4 p.m. at the pavilion. Musician Claude Shappelle will entertain the audience. The dinner is catered by Lorah’s Pig Roaster’s. The dinner includes half roasted chicken or pork sandwich, baked potato, cole slaw, dessert, and beverage. Tickets are still available at Bechtel’s Pharmacy in Slatington or by calling 610-760-0262.

Touch of Dutch Datt Drunne Deheem Darrich die Yaahre, wann die Pennsilfaahnish Deitsche Leit en gsellicher Vorfall halde deede, hen sie die menscht Zeit alde deitsche Volkgsang in de Programm eischlosse. Sell iss waahr, eb er en Versammling fer Mannsleit un Weibsleit waar, adder en Grundsau Lodsch, wo yuscht Mannsleit neigeh kenne hen. Un heit wollich schwetze weeich eem vun de beliebdscht Volklieder, as „Datt drunne deheem“ adder gewehnlich „Hei Lie, Hei Lo“ gheese iss warre. In dem Gsang iss alles in em Bauer seim Lewe karikaturt: sei Heemet, wu gut acht-gewwe waar, sei Viech, wu erhalde immer waare, sei hattschaffiche Knechde, un ya, iewen sei Familye. Yuscht sei Karrich iss net verschpodde. Nau wer kann saage, as die Deitsche kenne net iwwer sich selwert lache? Es gebt viel Verennering vun dem Gsang; do iss eener vun em Mahantongo Daal in Nordumberland Kaunti: „Hei Lie, Hei Lo“ Korus: Hei lie, hei lo, hei lee, hei lo! Bei uns geht’s immer ya so. (Widderhol ihn nooch yedem Varscht!) 1. Datt drunne deheem hemmer en aldes Haus, Die Schparre gucke owwe zum Dach raus. 2. Datt drunne deheem hemmer en alder Gaul, Er hot en goldner Zaah in seim Maul. 3. Datt drunne deheem hemmer en aldi Kuh, Die fresst ihre Hoi un nemmt gaar net zu. 4. Datt drunne deheem hemmer en Schtall voll Gens, Die sin geroppt bis an die Schwenz. 5. Datt drunne deheem hemmer en alder Gees, Er bummbt die Meed un watt gaar net bees. 6. Datt drunne deheem hemmer en alder Hund, Er wiegt vier hunnert un fuffzich Pund. 7. Datt drunne deheem der John guckt raus, Er laaft deheem rum mit’m Hemmerschwanz haus. 8. Datt drunne deheem hemmer en aldi Maad, Ich hett sie gaern gheiert, awwer „nee“ hot sie gsaagt. 9. Datt drunne deheem hemmer en Schtall voll Kieh, Die schtehne im Mischt bis an die Gnie. 10. Datt drunne, datt driwwe, datt drowwe, datt draus, Datt gucke drei Maed zum Schlisselloch raus. ... un so weiders. (Es gebt 24 Varscht im Urschprung.)

Down Home Throughout the years, when the Pennsylvania Dutch would hold a social event, most times they would include old Dutch folk songs in the program. This held true whether it was a gathering for both men and women or a Groundhog Lodge meeting where only men could attend. Today I want to talk about one of the most popular folk songs that is called “Down Home” or more commonly,“Hi Lee, Hi Lo”. In this song everything in the Dutch farmer’s life is caricatured: his home, which was well-maintained; his animals, which were always taken care of; his hard-working hired hands, and yes, even his family. Only his church is not ridiculed. Now who can say that the Dutch cannot laugh at themselves? There are many versions of this song; here is one from the Mahantango Valley in Northumberland County: “Hi Lee, Hi Lo” Chorus: Hi Lee, Hi Lo, Hi Lee, Hi Lo! With us it always goes this way, yes, certainly. (Repeat it after each verse.) 1. Down home we have an old house; the rafters look out up through the roof. 2. Down home we have an old horse; he has a golden tooth in his mouth. 3. Down home we have an old cow; she eats her hay and doesn’t gain weight. 4. Down home we have a stall full of geese; their feathers are plucked up to their tails. 5. Down home we have an old goat; he bumps the girls and doesn’t get angry. 6. Down home we have and old dog; he weighs 450 pounds. 7. Down home John looks outside; he walks around inside with his shirt tail out. 8. Down home we have an old maid; I certainly would have married her, but she said, “No!” 9. Down home we have a stall full of cows; they stand in manure up to their knees. 10. Down there, over there, up there, out there; three girls are looking out the key hole there. … and so on. (There are 24 verses in the original.) [Source: Boyer, Walter; Buffington, Albert; Yoder, Don; Songs along the Mahantongo; The Pennsylvania Dutch Folklore Center; Lancaster, PA; 1951. As is often the case, some of the humor is lost in translating. “That’s not funny to me,” is a common response from someone who is just looking at the English version.] -Larry Gradwohl

The Provident Bank To Reinvest In Lehigh Valley Communities Submitted by BRYAN HYLAND Chris Martin, President and CEO of The Provident Bank, announced a series of initiatives designed to ensure broad access to credit and extend economic opportunity in the Lehigh Valley, one of the first markets the bank serves outside of New Jersey. The Iselin, New Jersey-based bank, which acquired Team Capital in 2014, announced it will commit $100,000 per year to Neighborhood Partnerships in Bethlehem and Allentown. It also introduced a special mortgage product for low and moderate-income homebuyers and an unsecured loan product for low and moderateincome renters, amongst other commitments. Martin detailed the new community reinvestment initiatives at a press conference organized by the Lehigh Valley’s community, housing and economic development organizations, both government and nonprofit. “We are anxious to make a difference here in the communities that so proudly make up the Lehigh Valley,” he said. “This community has character, resilience, and pride. Those are assets in which we are excited to invest.” The bank committed $50,000 per year for six

years to Southside Vision 2020, a comprehensive strategy for strengthening south Bethlehem administered by the Community Action Development Corporation of Bethlehem and chaired by Mayor Robert Donchez. Donchez thanked Martin for the vote of confidence in the Southside’s future. The bank also made a similar commitment of $50,000 per year for six years to a new Neighborhood Partnership Program proposed for Allentown and advised that it will provide further detail in a formal announcement later this spring. Both projects will be conditioned on approval of tax credits from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. The bank also announced that it would support regional efforts to create and grow local companies and attract companies to the region. It will invest $50,000 in The Rising Tide Community Loan Fund, which supports micro- and small businesses and it will maintain its participation in the lending and trouble-shooting work done by the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC) to grow the region’s economy.

lamp base. 3. Secure the lid of your lamp with a bit of craft glue. Optional: Adding jute and a few shells to your lampshade will add an extra pizzazz to your new lamp. Use craft glue to attach a few pieces.
She Sells Sea Shells
After years of heading to the beach each summer, I have a substantial seashell collection. Some are from New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina ... each one is unique and beautiful. So, what to do with these shells? I saw a fantastic shell lamp while in Cape May at a beach house a few years ago; the beauty of the lamp never left my mind. So I decided that it’s time to make my own! While a fillable glass lamp can be purchased at a craft store or online (starting around $50), you can save money by recycling products and making your own using a mason jar, large glass bottles, or even a glass vase and a lamp kit (for about $7).
Note: If you have found the perfect lamp that can be emptied and refilled, do not glue the lid on tightly. The lamp can easily be converted in the fall to hold pinecones and sticks for a comfortable woodsy look.
SUPPLIES
• Glass lamp with fillable base • Shells • Sand • Craft glue
STEPS 1. Start with a clean lamp base. Add an even layer of sand to cover the bottom. Then fill the lamp with shells, leaving about 1/2” open at the top. If you are making your own lamp, following the instructions on the kit for attaching the lamp pieces. This may be done at the start of your filling or at the end depending on the manufacturer. 2. Sprinkle sand into the base to add weight and strength to the bottom of your

Gazette: What is the history of the market? Rebecca Santee-Shook: The market had been around for 50+ years before the owner retired and closed in 2010. My father Floyd Santee was offered the opportunity to reopen the market, which it did in May 2013. We are now open year round Friday through Sunday and we are striving to once again make the market a community fixture. G: What is the market known for? RS-S: Fresh cut meats from a local butcher, fresh produce, baked goods, an indoor grill with burgers and steak sandwiches, and an Italian specialties stand. G: What’s new for 2015? RS-S: We are looking to expand our outdoor flea market by offering free outdoor spaces the first weekend of every month. We’re also hoping to expand our offerings of local foods and will be reaching out to local farmers and businesses for vending opportunities.

Tiny Tiki Party
Even the cute and fuzzies of the world like to enjoy a perfect summer afternoon. Tiki party, anyone? The brilliant minds over at HelloDenizen—the same folks who brought us tiny hamsters eating tiny burritos, attending hedgehog birthday parties, feasting on a Thanksgiving dinner, and going on tiny dates— have done it again, this time in tempting tropical fashion. (Seriously, can I get one of those smoothies?) Tiny Hamster and his hedgehog pal are poolside in episode six of his tiny adventures, enjoying luscious libations straight out of coconut shells complete with tiny cocktail umbrellas. So cute it hurts! Published May 12, the internet jumped on it faster than you can say “Cannonball!” BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, AOL, ABCNews, PopSugar, TastefullyOffensive, HelloGiggles, and a slew of other websites with equally embarrassing names picked it up immediately and it spread across the web at warp speed. The public can’t get enough and the creators are continuing to collect #TinyIdeas. Submit yours by visiting their YouTube channel!
Rescue Pet Meet Flurry Flurry is approximately six months old. He is a sweetheart; great with dogs and other cats (he hasn't yet been around kids). He is a lap kitty. He is very curious and tries constantly to sneak out of open doors. He would require someone who is vigilant and willing to train him. He is fearless! He had a bad infection as a kitten which left permanent damage to the left eye, which weeps and requires regular cleaning to protect the skin. It doesn’t bother him at all. He is a wonderful kitten who deserves a loving forever home. Contact meowlibu@hotmail.com for more info about this kitten and the adoption process. Do not call the shelter.

The celebration of the 150th anniversary of St. Paul's Schoolhouse will be held Saturday, August 1 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at St. Paul's UCC of Indianland at 787 Almond Road in Lehigh Township. There will be a special program and light refreshments. The schoolhouse will be open for visitors that day. Plan to visit the little red brick schoolhouse where local children grades one through eight were taught in one room. There was no inside plumbing, no air conditioning, no running water, and there was one teacher who taught all eight grades each school day. See the many items used in the classroom years ago which were so different from the classrooms today. More details will follow in the coming months. Looking ahead, on September 18, the society will have a yard sale at the historical centre. You might have items you would like to donate to the society or you may wish to sell items yourself. Vendors will be welcome for a nominal fee. Details and rules will be included in a packet which can be picked up at the historical centre on open house dates (second and fourth Sundays of each month, 1 to 4 p.m.) or by calling the historical centre at 610-440-0151. When you call, please provide your name, phone number, and email address and information will be emailed directly to you.

For the most part, I usually stay true to this ½ cup Parmesan cheese in bowl. Make white recipe. I always have leftover shells, so one sauce: Melt butter in saucepan, add flour. Cook a little, don’t brown. Add milk, salt and pepper, box is plenty. I hardly ever end up using the full and ½ cup Parmesan cheese.

“Challenge of the Schools” Group Cruise Submitted by MARJ FEDORANICH The “Challenge of the Schools” group cruise sails July 4, 2016 for eight nights on the Carnival Sunshine out of New York. There is something for everyone, whether it be fun, relaxation, or even competition. Roundtrip transportation to the pier will be available. Enjoy fun-filled days with competition between the Palmerton, Lehighton and Northern Lehigh schools. You can spend time relaxing at the pool or taking part in a little inter-community competition. Meet old friends and battle each other in the challenges to include dueling water slides, mini golf, a rope course 150 feet above the sea, basketball, volleyball, trivia, scavenger hunt, and much more. These three communities have a long history of rivalry throughout the years and many of you have crossed borders after attending or graduating from one and then moving to another. The rivalry not only was on the turf or court or mats, but included flag twirlers, band, and students shaking the bleachers while watching many sporting events. If you or a family member did not attend any of these schools, we still want you along for cheerleading, refereeing, and perhaps another group for challenges or just having fun.

When Sequels Suck: Pitch Perfect 2
Let me start by saying I was totally psyched for Pitch Perfect 2. I was one of the ones who actually wanted to see the first one, not one of the many who heard about it from someone else and was convinced to see it. And I loved it. It was the first time in a long time that I laughed (full wheezing, out-of-breath, practicallycrying laughs) and it wasn’t because it was lewd or obscene―it was just funny. Seemingly an overnight success, Pitch Perfect was a new brand of comedy poised to impact the genre. So its sequel, written by very same person as the first installment, should’ve been a smash hit, right? Well pardon the musical humor, but I walked away feeling it had fallen very flat indeed.
Here are 5 reasons why: [SPOILER ALERT if you’ve not yet seen Pitch Perfect 1 or 2] 1. It went heavy on the silly, rather than smart, humor. Lilly, who barely spoke above a whisper in the first film and always had something outlandish to say, managed to speak at a normal conversational volume by the end of the first film. You expect us to believe that throughout the next three years, she went back to whispering things like, “All my teeth came from different people?” Rebel Wilson’s character was undoubtedly the breakout of Pitch Perfect (aside from Beca’s cup song). Her humor was completely on point and she laughed at herself in good taste. The second time around, the jokes felt meaner and at her expense. Her antics were overdone and got annoying all too quickly. As a whole, the movie just felt way too dumbed down and re-hashed. Most of the girls on screen were college seniors and hadn’t seemed to mature at all. And don’t even get me started on the commentary coming from John and Gail. 2. It was far too focused on the legacy/enemy. This isn’t Glee. We don’t need to see the class of new kids come in or how threatening the competition is to appreciate who we already have. Hailee Steinfeld’s character of Emily felt forced down our throats and her impromptu romance with Benji (whom was still difficult not to love), nor her songwriting skills did much to save her plotline or make us care. And if I had to see/hear Das Sound Machine one more time! 3. The music was ... different. It didn’t hold the same punch as the first time around. It felt like the Treblemakers, known for edgy remixes of Top 40 tunes, only performed once and the song choice (meant to lure in new members?) took a complete 180 from their usual style. Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA” from the first one was a predictable yet fun choice for that particular scene―but having Fat Amy come swinging in on silk to “Wrecking Ball” felt tired before she even finished singing the first line. The original song written by Emily (actually Sia and Sam Smith), “Flashlight,” was an interesting turn and a great competition edge―but even that wasn’t great. They won the WORLD Championships with a little Beyoncé and David Guetta? It just didn’t feel big enough. 4. Beca was the only one concerned about life
after college. First of all, Chloe purposely flunked a class THREE times so she could stay with the Bellas?! That was annoying right off the bat. But then to have the girls turn on Beca, who has probably done more for the club (because let’s face it, that’s all it is) than the rest of them combined, was too much. Most of them are graduating (which we do actually “see” in a split-second non-scene) but Beca was the only one preparing for her future with an internship. Sure, she produced a song by the end, but it wasn’t her own work, it was Emily’s. When she calls Jesse freaking out that she has nothing to say, the way to solve that is by having her figure it out and write something brilliant, not use someone else’s words! And speaking of ... 5. Where the hell was Jesse? The focal point of Pitch Perfect was Beca’s introduction to Barden University and the sweet guy who took a liking to her, backed up by the fact that they both found themselves plunged into the world of college a capella. Pitch Perfect 2 relied heavily on the Bellas trying to restore their good name, backed up by, hey, remember that girl who totally revolutionized the way the Bellas operate? She has a boyfriend now, right? I have a soft spot for the romantic side of the rom-com thing, so sue me for wondering why in the world they chose to give the talented studmuffin Skylar Astin such a small handful of lines. Why wasn’t Jesse around to support her when she felt lost? To encourage her? To answer the phone when she needed to talk? To be all boyfriend-y when we waited a full hour and 52 minutes the first time around just to see them kiss? They lasted throughout their entire college careers together and yet, they’re ... never together. I kept waiting for him to pop up and the few times that he did, it was always a huge disappointment. Naturally, there are rumors of a Pitch Perfect 3 in the works because nothing good can be left alone anymore. (Rebel Wilson mentioned it in passing to Entertainment Weekly in April.) It would likely not include Anna Kendrick, which already means I’d be hard-pressed to like it. Fat Amy was not intended to be the main character here, but we’re being forced to see it that way apparently. Moral of the story is? If a movie is a smash hit, don’t try to replicate that success. If cinematic history has shown us anything, it’s that it never really works out.

What It Means To Be A Lioness
Submitted by LEHIGH TOWNSHIP LIONESS CLUB Lions, Lioness, and Leos are people caring for people. The organization was founded in 1915. In 1925, Helen Keller addressed the Lions International Convention in Ohio. She challenged Lions to become “Knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.” From that time, Lions clubs have been actively involved in providing service to the blind and visually impaired. Your own Lehigh Township has a Lioness Club where you can join like-minded women who want to do “good works” for the Lehigh Township community. Some of the service work includes donating to the Center for Vision Loss. The group participates in Walk for Vision, in which money raised in donations goes to help fund corneal transplants. They raise funds with fall fundraisers such as selling spring bulbs, selling “Around the Town” coupon books, a bus trip to a Lancaster dinner theatre, and selling chances on a lottery basket with those profits going to White Cane.

The spring fundraiser is a Basket Party, in which members donate at least two baskets for the public to buy chances to win theme baskets and gift cards. They also have a bake sale with the basket party. The club participates in Dream Come True every October at Becky’s Drive-In with all ticket sales from our Chinese Auction going directly to Dream Come True. This past year the club donated $1,357 to Dream Come True. Since 2011, the Lehigh Township Lioness Club has volunteered time and donated small gifts to the Little Shopper’s Christmas Shoppe for the children of the families who use the Northampton Food Bank/Pantry to shop for gifts for their entire family. They go Christmas caroling at three personal care homes and take a small gift for each resident of the home. The club adopts two needy families for Christmas and they shop for gifts and wrap the items the children have on their wish list for Santa. In 2014, they donated cash and also 1,822 lbs. of food to the Food Pantry in Northampton. This past year they adopted a needy charter school and members donated new or used coats, hats, gloves, boots and reading for pleasure books to grades kindergarten through fifth. The Lionesses have sponsored visually impaired campers at Beacon Lodge and made donations to the fire victims of Lehigh Township. They have cleaned their closets and donated shoes to an Allentown nonprofit senior high rise that was collecting shoes in their effort to raise funds for new flooring in their activity room. Every May, they host a Mother/Daughter dinner and honor a girl from the Lehigh Twp. area along with her mother for the student’s academic, scholastic, and service achievements. If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, please contact Mrs. Pat Amey at 610-767-6669. The Lehigh Township Lioness Club meets the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m.
