If you’re looking for a great event for the family, Das Awkscht Fescht is a no brainer and takes place on August 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in Macungie. This 56-year-old tradition is the country’s largest antique and classic car show and draws people from all over the world. As Father’s Day approaches, we find ourselves thinking about all of the things our dads have done for us. As the physical backbone in our families, they taught us discipline and good judgment. They helped us file our first tax return by hand. They taught us how to change the oil in our car. They taught us that no matter what we do in life, we commit to doing it really well. This Father’s Day take the initiative to show your dad some love and appreciation. In this month’s issue, we provide all the resources you’ll need.

Apgar Oil ENERGY & HVAC
BY MARY BE TH SCHWART Z
ack in 1947 you could buy gas for around 15 cents a gallon. It was the year that Goodrich manufactured the first tubeless tire. Over at Bell Laboratories scientists discovered the transistor. Here in the Lehigh Valley, a hardworking family started a local home heating oil and comfort service company. Over 70 years later, Apgar Oil Energy & HVAC continues to be committed to its customers and gets the job done right the first time.

“There is a reason that we have stood the test of time. With a handful of other heating oil and home service companies in the area, our customers have always been left satisfied with the knowledge that they can trust their family’s safety and comfort to the professionals at Apgar Oil Energy & HVAC,” says President Jim Apgar. Now celebrating three generations, Apgar Oil Energy & HVAC has found a way to adapt to the changing times of the energy market. Ten years ago, the company started offering clean green renewable energy. Bioheat, according to Jim Apgar, is an alternative to traditional fuels. “It is made here in the United States. It is made from biodiesel blended in fatty acids that are found in soybeans. It is then blended with heating oil. Bioheat reduces emissions, improves air quality, burns cleaner, and increases heating system efficiency. It’s a winwin for the customer.”

To stay on top, Apgar Oil Energy & HVAC always keeps pace with what is going on in the industry. They have several affiliations involved with the heating oil industry, including the Better Home Heat Council of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania Petroleum Association (PPA), and National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA). Apgar’s technicians and servicemen are certified by the PPA and the Better Home Heat Council of the Lehigh Valley. “Education is an investment. Many of our staff have even

achieved the Gold Certification from NORA,” Apgar says. Along with trained staff, Apgar Oil Energy & HVAC invests in the latest equipment. “We are always about upgrading equipment. It could be purchasing new trucks or upgrading analyzers and combustion efficiency equipment. We also encourage our customers to upgrade their equipment. Throughout the year we offer energy efficiency equipment rebates through the Upgrade & Save Pennsylvania Rebate Program.” One Pennsylvania offering is a $500 rebate for an oil-fired furnace or boiler or a new aboveground oil tank. According to Apgar, they also are proactive in oil tank replacements through The TankSure Program. “This is smart not only for the industry and consumer, but the environment.” Speaking of the environment, how about better air and water quality? Apgar says customers are increasingly purchasing products to improve their indoor air quality. They want whole house HEPA air filtration systems to tackle undesirables like mold, bacteria, pet dander, dust, and pollen. Apgar Oil Energy & HVAC also offers water conditioning systems. Another area of interest to customers is the ductless mini split system. “This new

heating and air conditioning alternative is becoming more and more popular in the United States. Instead of spending thousands on ductwork installation to put in a central air conditioning unit or a heat pump system, the point-of-use mini split requires no ducting. “You can use it in a great room downstairs, or a master bedroom upstairs. The mini split has lots of flexibility,” Apgar adds. Customers truly appreciate Apgar Oil Energy & HVAC’s commitment to service. On the company’s website, www.apgaroil.com, you can place an order for home heating oil or request service. There also is a button to enroll in automatic delivery. Monthly heating oil price protection programs are another perk for customers. For additional peace of mind, Apgar Oil Energy & HVAC has service plans, including maintenance and tune-ups. The public is welcome to visit Apgar’s showroom, or as Jim Apgar calls it, “our little mini museum.” It teaches visitors the technology behind heating oil. “Technology has come a long way for furnaces and boilers. With more efficient heating systems, you can reach efficiencies upwards of 95 percent. In the last four decades, there has been a 33 percent decrease in greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels,” Apgar says. The showroom is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am until 4:30pm. Weekends and evenings are available by appointment.

because you live here Dammed on both sides to control flooding, the Lehigh River at that location “is perfect for boating — it’s fully navigable, which means you’ll see kayaks, jet skis, and motorboats from spring to fall,” says Jaindl, chief operating officer of Jaindl Enterprises. With this water scene as its backdrop, Jaindl Properties is creating The Waterfront, a mixed-use development that is poised to become the centerpiece of the city’s riverfront area.
Develop a new growth strategy. Meet Girard.
The $425 million project along Waterfront Drive will be completed in two phases. Phase one, which is already under way, includes two office buildings, two apartment buildings, two parking garages, part of the river walk along the Lehigh, an outdoor amphitheater, and two plazas. Phase two includes three office buildings, two residential complexes, and parking.

The 26-acre site, former home of Lehigh Structural Steel Co., sat idle for decades as various uses for the property came and went, obscuring sweeping views of the river, Jaindl says. Now the former industrial site will give rise to a new community of offices, apartments, parking facilities, retail establishments, restaurants, plazas, and other open areas.

The Waterfront is bounded by American Parkway to the north, the Lehigh River to the east, the former R. J. Corman Railroad line to the west, and the Tilghman Street bridge to the south. “Overall you’ll have 650,000 square feet of office space and housing for 800 residents in 450 apartment units,” Jaindl says. The 26-acre Waterfront is the northernmost project in Allentown’s Neighborhood Improvement Zone, a special taxing district created in 2009 to attract projects on 128 acres of Allentown. Allentown Mayor Ray O’Connell says The Waterfront will serve as a new gateway to the city and expose residents, employees, and visitors to views of the Lehigh River that

haven’t been seen in decades. “Young adults are interested in settling in areas that offer walkable communities,” O’Connell says. “That’s what we are going to have in that location. I think it is going to be a very desirable and popular spot in the entire region.” Jaindl says $12 million has been put into the site already for demolition of old buildings as well as grading and installation of infrastructure, including underground conduits connecting the various building pads, storm water and sanitary water systems, streets, curbs, and lighting standards.

QUALITY THAT SOARS. Holencik
“I was assigned Lehigh riverfront apartments and ultimately called my dad to consult on the class,” he recalls. “He founded American Bank in 1997, and he came in and we talked about it and did the numbers and deemed at the time it was not feasible without powerful tax incentives.” When Allentown’s Neighborhood Improvement Zone was created in 2009, the class project was reborn, inspiring a father-son collaboration in The Waterfront development and other projects. Founded by Mark and Zac Jaindl in 2014, the father-son team combines five generations of entrepreneurial experience to “promote smart urban growth,” says Zac Jaindl, grandson of Fred Jaindl, the patriarch of the Jaindl family.

“We haven’t stopped working since the master plan was approved in 2015,” Jaindl says. “If you drive down there, you’ll see fully formed streets with building pads on either side.” Because The Waterfront doesn’t have an arena, like PPL Center, at its front door, it’s essential that The Waterfront hits critical mass early in its development, he notes. “We’re looking to bring as many as four buildings out of the ground at once, instead of one at a time,” Jaindl says. “We prepared The Waterfront for vertical construction—you can already see where all the buildings are going. The goal is to announce tenants and bring everything out of ground.” “You’ll see vertical construction soon,” he adds. “We’re in position to announce tenants now that the weather is improving.”

because you live here Jaindl Enterprises recently purchased the truss, to the north of the American Parkway bridge, which offers views of the entire river toward the Route 22 bridge down to the Hamilton Street bridge. “You’ll enjoy a nice beer sitting there in the sunshine, perhaps watching the Lehigh and Lafayette rowing teams compete, and at night there will be lights spanning the entire trestle out on the river,” Jaindl says. “The Lehigh Valley doesn’t offer anything quite like this.” For every aspect of the project, the Lehigh River is the differentiating factor. Jaindl describes the river water quality as “pristine” because Lehigh Structural Steel Co. operated as a fabrication site, keeping the land free of pollution. “Environmentally, it’s already up to residential standards,” Jaindl says. “Because it was a steel fabrication site, the river adjacent to it remained clean over the years.” Jaindl pictures residents 12 stories up in their apartments looking out onto the river and seeing the Coca-Cola Park fireworks less than a half-mile away over the American Parkway bridge. “You can sit in your living room and have a water view and essentially go downstairs to a restaurant overlooking the river,” he adds. “We’ll have festivals, food truck pods, programming planned every weekend throughout the year, an ice rink, and outdoor recreation for visitors.” There will be boat docks and slips and even outdoor grills and fire pits, all connecting to the popular D&L Trail.

The design and architecture of The Waterfront properties have also been intentional and deliberate. “I am an architecture buff. I believe that design can really be a key differentiator between a site feeling organic and forced,” Jaindl says. “To date, we’ve used a different architect for every building. Different styles,
layouts and concepts are introduced to give tenants versatility but also to make sure it doesn’t feel like an office park.” “Essentially it’ll feel like a little city that will bloom into something much larger,” he adds. “Ultimately, this will be the catalyst to move development down on the Lehigh River.” Jaindl believes that The Waterfront will be desirable to the aging millennial generation, which is starting to settle down, members of the rising Generation Z, who are looking for low-cost living, and empty nesters who may decide that an urban community is a better option than paying taxes and maintaining a five-bedroom home.
HOUSE Casual refined New American cuisine
“You’ll still have a spare bedroom for when kids come home and pay less overall,” he says. “Our cost of living index in the Lehigh Valley is low compared to the national scale,” he says. “Here you will have all the amenities, be close to Philadelphia and New York, and won't break the bank to live and work remotely.”
JAINDL CALLS THE WATERFRONT “the smart urban campus.” “People will not sacrifice the natural elements of the suburbs,” he says. “You’ll wake up on the river and be surrounded by walkable amenities.”

ood health is not merely the absence of disease, but an overall abundance of wellness in areas such as fitness, nutrition, and mental health. To paint the portrait of a healthy lifestyle that can carry you into old age, you have to dip your paintbrush in many colors. Proper nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness will help you create a masterpiece. Debbie Cooper, RD, LDN, Clinical Nutrition Manager for St. Luke's University Health Network, oversees dietary needs for patients. “Our staff is trained across all areas of nutrition,” Cooper says. It's comprised of registered dietitians, who hold degrees and certifications in their field, and take part in ongoing education. Dietitians work in specialty areas, such as pediatrics, oncology, sports nutrition, and with individuals facing digestive issues and allergies. Each person’s plan is unique. Cooper’s department meets with individuals seeking nutrition counseling for overall well-being; not just those with medical conditions. Cooper’s basic dietary recommendations for long-term health are fairly universal. She says fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables; a quarter with lean protein, like chicken or fish; and a quarter with complex carbohydrates, like brown rice or quinoa. “Try to eat a balanced diet and include foods from all food groups in a variety of different colors.” Cooper says to pay attention to hunger and fullness cues and to wait 15 minutes to see if you’re actually hungry before grabbing a snack. Whole foods and less-processed foods are best for nutritional value. Amy Previato, MPH, Network Director of Employee Wellness at St. Luke’s, echoes that recommendation. Previato says data shows most medical costs are spent on chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers, and as much as 80% of chronic disease can be prevented by adopting lifestyle changes. She says the 4 key factors are maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI), not using tobacco, eating 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day, and exercising—any form of movement—for at least 150 minutes a week. Statistics show just 3% of Americans regularly meet these recommendations.
PROPER NUTRITION, EXERCISE, AND MINDFULNESS WILL HELP YOU create a masterpiece.

Each year, Previato’s team carries out an employee health assessment. Employees whose data stands out, say with high blood pressure or pre-diabetes, will be recommended to see their doctor and to adopt a health plan. Some opt for health coaching through St. Luke's to develop a plan for improvement. No matter how well someone eats, experts agree exercise is key. John Graham, MS, ACSM EP-C, CSCS*D, RSCC*E, FNSCA, Director of Fitness at St. Luke’s Fitness and Sports Performance Centers, says the first step toward a long healthy life in terms of fitness is continuous exercise, 30 to 60 minutes, everyday.

Previato says since 2014, there has been a reduction in high blood pressure and pre-diabetes among 19,000 St. Luke's staff members and their spouses, and St. Luke’s employee health is trending better than national and local figures.
He and his staff work with individuals with all levels of ability, from elite athletes to those with physical disabilities seeking to enhance mobility. Trained staff screen all clients by reviewing their medical and exercise history and assessing their fitness level to set up a personalized exercise prescription. Staff members hold college degrees in exercise science or an equivalent field and are certified in various areas of practice. “We’re not a rehab center, we’re an actual fitness center,” Graham says. “We run the whole gamut from someone wanting to lose excess body fat to someone looking to improve their functional capabilities.” One of the frequently overlooked components of health in our busy culture is mental and behavioral health. Although it's widely known that excess

stress can lead to disease, many people forget to slow down. Amie Allanson-Dundon, MS, Clinical Supervisor of Mental/Behavioral Health at St. Luke’s Psychiatric Associates, says it's key to schedule time for self care. “Schedule time for anxiety reduction, stress reduction; things that behaviorally and mentally make you feel calm and make you feel controlled,” Allanson-Dundon says. She suggests meditation for calming the mind. Some people are intimidated by the idea, but it can be as simple as setting a timer for 5 minutes, shutting your eyes, and breathing slowly and deeply. Allanson-Dundon says it's important to be open and honest in communication with others. “Let people know how you’re feeling and what you need from them.” That could be a hug, coloring in a book, or ten minutes for an “adult time-out” to re-center and calm down. “Slow down in your decision making and reacting,” she says. “We’re so busy we forget emotional wellness.” Allanson-Dundon says people are so busy nowadays, quickly overcommitting themselves, rather than taking a moment for rational decision making. She suggests taking a moment to think things through before jumping into the “deep end.” The public can contact St. Luke’s for information on health and wellness services at 1-866-785-8537.

running makes a body strong Why do dedicated runners run? Well, the physical benefits are obvious. Aerobic activity can lead to stronger muscles, increased lung capacity, a more efficient cardiovascular system, weight loss, better flexibility, and improved stamina.
BUT THERE CAN BE AN ALMOST spiritual component TO RUNNING, AS WELL. 26
J U N E 2 01 9
BY FRED JERANT
“Everyone’s aware of the physical benefits of running,” says Michael F. Martinez, MD, general surgeon with St. Luke’s Carbon Surgical Associates and founder of the Blue Mountain 5K race. “But the psychological effects are underappreciated. Personally, 90% of the benefits I get are above the neck. Running gives me a real sense of calmness and confidence.” Dr. Martinez and his son hit the road practically every day, in all seasons and all weather. “It helps me appreciate what each of the seasons has to offer,” he says. Bill Moyer, president of St. Luke’s West Region and Allentown Campus, agrees. “When I go on longer runs, I like to be in a group, so I can talk with the other runners while we work out. But on shorter distances, I often go by myself. It helps me clear my mind and improve my concentration,” he says.
“I think it’s a great sport, but not everyone’s cut out for it,” he adds. “St. Luke’s encourages everyone to participate in some kind of physical activity. That’s one of the reasons we’re in the community with health initiatives for students, a ‘walk with your doctor’ program and others.” St. Luke’s is also the new title sponsor for the Via Marathon scheduled for September 8. There’s also a half-marathon, a team relay event and a race for kids. Moyer will be part of the relay race, and hopes to complete the half-marathon.
Did you say RCN? Award-winning services to swoon over.
ST. LUKE’S IS ALSO THE NEW TITLE SPONSOR FOR THE VIA MARATHON SCHEDULED FOR September 8. “The Via Marathon is our largest annual fundraiser,” says Jillian Lovejoy, communications director for Via of the Lehigh Valley. “The proceeds support our services to people with disabilities, but there’s a strong economic impact on the Lehigh Valley itself. Because our race is a major qualifier for the Boston marathon, thousands of people, from the U.S., and overseas, will be visiting our local restaurants, shops, and hotels.” Lovejoy added that St. Luke’s will provide substantial medical resources at the race’s finish line, as well as training plans for anyone interested in preparing for the race.

gets tough e’ve all heard the cliché, “Guys don’t like to talk about their feelings.” But there’s other stuff guys don’t want to talk about—or even think about—even though they should. Things like urinary difficulties and other prostate problems. “Situations like these are common aspects of normal aging,” says urologist Zachariah Goldsmith, MD, PhD, “and they usually start to emerge after the age of 50.” About half of all men have some degree of prostate swelling, medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It’s one of the causes of nocturia—that aggravating need to wake up at night, trudge to the bathroom, and empty your bladder again and again. Other possible causes include too much fluid before bedtime, sleep disorders, and an actual obstruction of the urethra, the duct that allows urine to flow out of the body.
BY FRED JERANT
“The prostate is a funny thing,” says Dr. Goldsmith, “because it has a kind of design flaw. The urethra passes right through it, and as the prostate expands, it squeezes the urethra.” Over time, the bladder may become unable to empty completely. “Also, an enlarged prostate can lead to blood in the urine, urinary tract infections, or the need to insert a catheter,” he adds.
Although nocturia is mostly a nuisance, there’s a darker side of prostate problems: cancer. “It’s the most common internal cancer in men,” Dr. Goldsmith says, “afflicting about one in seven.” Some of its later-stage symptoms are difficult urination, blood in the urine, pelvic discomfort, and bone pain. But in its early stage, there may be no symptoms at all.
There are safe and effective medications (such as Flomax) to treat an enlarged prostate and related symptoms. “For the most part, they’ve been around for decades,” Dr. Goldsmith says. “They tend to work quickly and have relatively minimal side effects.”
“Fortunately, it’s almost always curable—if it’s found early enough,” he says. Two common detection methods are the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, and a rectal exam.
But if medications don’t work—or the side effects bother you—surgical intervention is another option. One such procedure is the UroLift—a once-and-done treatment that physically holds back the swollen prostate tissue. It uses no heat, no lasers, and removes no tissues. “It’s my specialty,” Dr. Goldsmith says, “and it offers the shortest downtime and fewest side effects.”
For any sort of prostate difficulty, it’s important to be proactive. “The best thing you can do is watch for symptoms—especially if you have a family history of prostate trouble—and report them to your primary care physician,” Dr. Goldsmith concludes. "I’ve seen guys who ignored early-warning symptoms for decades; if you wait too long, problems can be harder to fix.”

FRANK FORD, President St. Luke's Sacred Heart Campus

During the following century, the hospital’s fortunes waxed and waned. Eventually, economic changes, the emergence of major health care systems, and other factors took their toll.
the PERFECT TEMPERATURE FOR TEA not your tv room
“Sacred Heart struggled for at least a decade,” said Frank J. Ford, president of the Sacred Heart campus, “because of its innercity location, independent status, and its dedication to serving the underprivileged.” One year ago, St. Luke’s University Health Network acquired Sacred Heart, and began rejuvenating the institution. “Since the merger, St. Luke’s has committed to investing $31 million in improvements to Sacred Heart,” Ford said. “All the great care that we provide through our network is now available to center-city residents.”

The physical plant is undergoing a makeover including a renovated lobby, new flooring, spruced-up bathrooms, improved HVAC performance, and a multi-milliondollar upgrade of the parking facility, said Rev. John M. Gibbons, pastor of the namesake church. “Unfortunately, all of these are improvements that Sacred Heart could not have afforded itself.” The merger also means that Sacred Heart patients now have access to St. Luke’s broad range of specialists. “A unified medical staff means all of our patients receive a consistent level and quality of care,” Ford said. At the same time, some of Sacred Heart’s existing facilities—such as its vascular access program— will complement the St. Luke’s network. “We previously competed with ORs in other hospitals within our network for this dialysis-related procedure,” Ford said. “Now those patients can come directly to Sacred Heart.” A key part of the rejuvenation program is the creation of a neighborhood primary-care hub based in the Sigal Center for Family Medicine, which will operate under the “Star Wellness” brand. “We are investing $4 million to expand and modernize it,” he added, “and we expect to double the number of patients we see there.”

Rev. Gibbons dismissed concerns that Sacred Heart’s traditional Catholic policies would disappear as a result of the takeover. “An essential aspect of our agreement was that Sacred Heart would continue to uphold its Catholic values and St. Luke's has stood by that.” "Along with their commitment to preserving Sacred Heart's original identity and catholic values, St. Luke's is clearly committed to strengthening our community," Gibbons adds. "They're working hard to bridge inner-city social challenges and improving the health of our community. They're helping to transform our inner city," he continues.

Two behavioral health inpatient units have moved from Bethlehem to center-city Allentown, for a total of five units; its 109 beds far exceed the original 67. “Those two units are completely new,” Ford said, “and we will bring the original three up to our overall standards.” A behavioral health residency program is developing at Sacred Heart, too. “We expect to train five residents each year and help place them in the local community,” Ford said. Maintaining community health requires more than drugs and surgery. “Social determinants, such as housing, education, employment, and other factors, can impact our health,” Ford said. “We are partnering with community organizations to start moving on these things. One good example is the PA CareerLink Lehigh Valley satellite office that is scheduled to open in July at 325 Chew St.” Ford explained that residents will be able to access CareerLink’s many services, while St. Luke's will offer support such as training programs for health care jobs.
Proudly supporting
"HEART OF THE CITY" CAPITAL CAMPAIGN St. Luke's Sacred Heart campus recently kicked off a three-year "Heart of the City" capital campaign. "Our goal is to raise a minimum of $3 million," said Kelly Chando, director of development. "We are well on our way, but there is still much to be done. We want to create a hub of services in and around the hospital, so our patients have easy access to health and social platforms they need and deserve." Chando added that the surrounding neighborhoods have been underserved for some time, but the recent merger of the two hospitals has begun to change that. "The funds raised will help us continue to upgrade equipment, recruit top talent, and most importantly, provide quality and affordable care to everyone that walks through our doors." The money will also help support ongoing training and educational programs for local children and families, internal staff and community partners.

"Serving the community is at the heart of what we do," she said. "We're proud to provide these valuable resources for our inner-city Allentown residents." Learn more about supporting the "Heart of the City" campaign (including naming opportunities) by visiting www.sluhn.org/heartofthecity.
Rev. Gibbons adds that the merger has already helped improve the local employment picture. “There are hundreds of employees in the hospital, and many of them came right from this neighborhood,” he said. “Our basic mission is to improve the health of the community in every way we can,” Ford said. “But we also want to be a catalyst for positive changes in the city. As the hospital’s facilities and capabilities improve, everyone benefits.”

DAS AWKSCHT FESCHT BY BRYAN HAY
38
J U N E 2 01 9
or more than 55 years, classic car enthusiasts have descended on Macungie Memorial Park to touch the history created by the combustible engine and marvel at how automobiles have evolved in design and technology. Founded in 1964 by car enthusiast brothers George and Bob Wendling, who operated an auto repair shop near Macungie Memorial Park, and a committee of volunteers, Das Awkscht Fescht, the August Festival in Pennsylvania German, attracts between 15,000 and 20,000 people every year. They’re drawn by the nostalgia of vintage vehicles and an array of activities and entertainment beyond cars for children and families. This year’s festival is Aug. 2-4.
“We say it’s the largest car show of its kind in the country, and no one has challenged us,” says Phil Kresge, who chairs the volunteer committee that organizes Das Awkscht Fescht. “There are larger car shows, but ours is strictly antique and classic cars, no customized cars.” “The Wendling brothers specialized in the restoration of antique cars, and they introduced the concept of having a show to help raise money for Macungie Memorial Park, and it started growing from there,” Kresge says. “It’s much more than car show now, but classic and antique cars remain the focus of the Fescht.” Over the years, the event has added arts and crafts featuring more than 60 vendors offering high quality homemade items and a toy town flea market at Shoemaker and Eyer Middle School in Macungie where vendors bring collectible toys for sale and display. A shuttle bus is available between the schools and the park. There’s children’s entertainment— magicians, a juggler, and ventriloquists. Crayola sponsors an area where children can do chalk drawings and other artwork with donated supplies. “We try to keep the kids entertained. Kids don’t always have an interest in old cars,” Kresge says.

A food court situated in the middle of the park features vendors offering turkey barbeque, burgers, pizza, hot dogs, sausage, and sweets. Daylong entertainment, featuring local band and musicians, is also a big attraction. The headliners this year are Flamin’ Dick and the Hot Rods from 7:30-10:30pm on Aug. 2 and Craig Thatcher from 7:30-10:30pm on Aug. 3.

Kresge is excited about a new addition to the year’s festival, a two-day human foosball tournament. “It’s just like the tabletop foosball but with a life-sized court where eight teams will compete in a single elimination tournament,” he says. “The winning team will receive a cash prize.” Registration forms will be available on Das Awkscht Fescht’s Facebook page. Participants need to be at least 18.

Also new this year is a beer garden that will offer both beer and wine for purchase. “You won’t go hungry or thirsty,” Kresge says. All proceeds from the event benefit the 42-acre Macungie Memorial Park, which is marking its 75th anniversary this year. The park is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which relies on coordinating and hosting events to support itself. “The event has grown and shrank some in recent years, as other regional events such as Musikfest have drawn people away,” says Amy Hillegass, park manager. “One thing we are working on for the future is to bring in events to attract younger crowds. People in their 20s and 30s can’t necessarily relate to a car from 1940.” With thousands of people coming to the festival every August, the park has benefited by more visitors throughout the year. Founded in 1944, the park was originally established as a memorial to active duty military and veterans. “We still get calls about placing a memorial for a parent or an aunt or uncle. People come to the park to enjoy the mature trees and the memorial placed beneath them,” she says. “It’s interesting—you can come to the park and see thousands of people,” Hillegass says. “People come back as a result of the festival. Grandchildren come back to the park because they heard stories of their grandparents who would attend the festival every August.”
While the festival continues to expand, its heart is still connected to chassis, chrome, and engines. Visitors can expect to see up to 900 classic cars from various car clubs on the Saturday and Sunday of the festival and up to 400 on Friday, when street rods and custom cars are exhibited. “Saturday and Sunday are more for the purists,” says Matt Manwiller, the event chairman for the Ontelaunee Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America, which has historically coordinated everything related to the festival’s vehicles and the Car Corral, where visitors can purchase vintage cars. “We generally accept vehicles that are 25 years old or older,” says Manwiller, who has a 1932 Chevy among his four-car classic car collection. The Chevy belonged to his grandparents, who were regulars at the festival along with his parents. “They have been attending as long as I can remember,” he says. “It’s a family thing, a tradition for so many people.” Manwiller is always dazzled by the various entries over the years, everything from Stanley Steamers to Cadillacs and Ferraris.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE going to see “You never know what you’re going to see,” he adds. “Last year, we had a Tucker 48 display vehicle from the American Car Association museum.” In keeping with tradition, a different make of car is highlighted every year. For 2019, the featured car area will showcase Chryslers, Dodges, Plymouths, and DeSotos from the 1920s through the 1980s. Hillegass summed it up when asked what inspires people to come back to Das Awkscht Fescht every year. “There’s an allure of vintage vehicles,” she says. “You can touch history.” For a complete schedule of events, visit awkscht.com.

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ BY LENORA DANNELKE
42 J U J UNNEE22010199 42
In a state teeming with oceanfront diversions, the modest little borough of Point Pleasant Beach—not to be confused with the neighboring town of Point Pleasant— might be one of the best kept secrets along the Jersey shore. With a mile-long boardwalk stretching next to the sand, this aptly named community is an ideal destination for families. Jenkinson’s Boardwalk supplies a wide variety of traditional seaside activities, from arcades and mini-golf to an amusement park with plenty of rides for young children. Fireworks displays are held on the beach at dark each Thursday, and Friday nights bring free movies on the beach. However, an aquarium may be the most unexpected and exciting discovery among Jenkinson’s many attractions, and one with broad appeal. After all, a fascination with sharks isn’t restricted to any one age group, though penguins and seals—plus a host of other underthe-sea creatures—all boast their own fan base. Entrepreneur Charles Jenkinson launched the original Jenkinson’s Pavilion in the late 1920s, achieving success and continued growth even
during the Depression. His family carried on the operation until the late 1970s when Pat Storino took ownership and began to implement his own family-oriented boardwalk vision. His brother Vinnie soon joined the business and together they acquired additional locations and expanded amenities at multiple venues. Today the second and third generations of the Storino clan take pride in ensuring that Jenkinson’s Boardwalk evolves and remains up-to-date while maintaining a timeless appeal.
For example, one throw-back attraction, the Fun House, attests to the enduring appeal of wacky structures with moving parts and odd illusions. A new addition this year keeps the encounter fresh and lively. On the contemporary side, a 7D Dark Ride provides immersive and interactive entertainment by melding a shooting game with a movie, and augmenting the experience with wind, movement, and intense sound effects.

The 27 rides at Jenkinson’s South Amusement Park cover every age and adrenaline level, from a tot’s first easy-going Fire Engine ride to the heartpounding intensity of Super Himalaya. Other classic rides include Big Bumper Cars, Tilt-A-Whirl, and two sizes of swing rides. Multiple generations can take a spin on the vintage-style carousel or chug around the park on an old-fashioned miniature train. Tidal Wave, a spinning roller coaster inspired by beach culture, makes a splashy debut this season. Older kids and teens seeking hands-on excitement (while wearing a harness) should head to the Adventure Lookout Ropes Course, featuring two levels that reach 36 feet in height, more than two dozen “thrill elements,” a zip line, and incredible views. A Sky Tykes course is designed for younger adventurers. Got your heart set on winning a prize? Peruse a plethora of boardwalk games to find the combination of skill and luck—from darts and water guns to wack-a-mole or a candy wheel—that speaks to you. With three locations, there’s no excuse for missing out on the decadent treats proffered by Jenkinson’s Sweet Shop. This well-known establishment takes the confectioner’s art to an irresistible level, with hand-dipped candy apples, loads of chocolate candies, fanciful gummies, iconic taffy, and fudge in a mind-boggling array of flavors. If Peanut Butter Explosion doesn’t hook you, perhaps Oreo Cheesecake might do the trick. (Don’t worry, traditionalists. There will always be a Chocolate Walnut.) Allow sufficient time for a full exploration of the intriguing exhibits at Jenkinson’s Aquarium. Although thoroughly entertaining, this facility’s mission is to educate people abour marine life and conservation. “We want people to be inspired and learn more about ways to protect the environment,” says Cindy Claus, a marine biologist (and New Jersey native) who has served as director since the aquarium opened in 1991. Alliances with conservation and wildlife organizations help to create outreach programs and other innovative educational opportunities.
FAVORITE PLACE TO HAVE LUNCH:
Don’t Miss The Boat
Spike’s Fish Market and Restaurant 415 Broadway 732-732-9400 spikesseafood.com
Take a break from the boardwalk at this off-the-beaten-path marina destination that’s been a local legend for 93 years. Just 14 picnic-style tables keep the atmosphere casual and cozy as the clientele focuses on swimmingly fresh seafood. In fact, Spike’s boasts a rare state-and-federal license to buy catches directly from boats—resulting in blackboard features that may change twice a day with new arrivals. Look for owner Steven Weinstein’s favorite special, Neptune’s Nest: an Italian bread bowl brimming with lobster tail, clams, shrimp, and mussels in roasted garlic cream sauce. A collection of soups made daily in this scratch kitchen includes lobster bisque and chowder, red and white styles of clam chowder, and seafood jambalaya. Raw clams and oysters are also popular starters, and the entrée selection delivers diverse tastes, from crab cakes and king crab legs to shrimp scampi and sauteed flounder francaise. For a bountiful feast, dive into a broiled combo plate. Alternately, a proprietary blackening method imparts an optional Cajun kick to the seafaring assortment. (Notable menu mention: Not a single dish here is deep fried.) However, be sure to save room for dessert—their signature key lime pie is all that.

The aquarium’s largest tank—a whopping 58,000 gallons—is home to 4 varieties of sharks, and their feeding time is a major draw. (Find the feeding schedules for Atlantic sharks, penguins, and seals on the website.) Another habitat replicates the Jersey shore, acquainting visitors with fish and a type of endangered sea turtle that live, typically unseen, in area waters. A Pine Barrens display showcases this state’s unusual ecosystem, and baby diamondback terrapins raised are eventually returned to the bay. Discover more exotic climes at the Coral Reef and Pacific Habitat displays, and take note of the bright parrots, playful monkeys, and a sloth in the tropical Rainforest display. Two of the most beloved animal exhibits feature an African penguin colony with 19 utterly charming birds and a pair of seals, including Luseal—a wellknown resident since 1991, who had sustained injuries in nearby waters as a pup. Though blind, she navigates her familiar environment with ease. An interactive Touch Tank pool enables visitors to get up close and personal with sea stars, sea urchins, stingrays, and more, including horseshoe crabs. Despite a fierce appearance, these prehistoric-era creatures are actually quite gentle—and don’t pinch like indigenous blue crabs. A Mangrove exhibit also features touch interaction. Celebrations this month include World Oceans Day and World Rainforest Day. Starting in July, when Shark Awareness Weekend takes place, a busy schedule of events features free staff-led Beachcombing walks, Kid’s Beach Blanket Bingo!, and more. While numerous boardwalk distractions beg for attention, take a moment to cast your eyes eastward and take in a lungful of salty air: The beach invites you to stop by for a dip in the ocean and leave some footprints in the sand before heading back to the Lehigh Valley.

GREAT FAMILY OUTINGS & THINGS TO DO WITH DAD BY KATE VAN DRUFF
he earliest inklings of Father’s Day began as a way to honor many men lost in a mining accident in Monongah, West Virginia in 1907. The first Father’s Day celebration took place on June 19, 1910, at the urging of Sonora Dodd of Spokane, WA. As the founder of the holiday, Dodd called for a day to celebrate fathers after witnessing a sermon about Anna Jarvis’ Mother’s Day movement. It wasn’t until 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed Father’s Day into law as an official holiday. This year Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 16.
FAMILY FUN FOR FATHER’S DAY The Lehigh Valley provides ample opportunities to celebrate Dad from morning to night. Consider these memorable activities to enjoy with Dad this year for Father’s Day.
GO FISHING
Few things go so well together as Father’s Day and fishing. Some of the best fishing locations in the Valley are rumored to be the Lehigh Parkway, Cedar Creek Parkway East, Lehigh Canal Park, and South Mountain Reservoir. If fishing isn’t up his alley, you could also simply go for a casual walk around the Lil Le-Hi Trout Nursery. Toss some food into the waters and watch the fish jump and splash.

handman 50
J U N E 2 01 9
BY JENNIFER HAY
or Bruce Gaston, music is a labor of love. Manual labor. Gaston, also known as Mr. Handman, is among the best known of a handful of manualists— musicians who make music by squeezing air through their hands—having been featured on CNN, NPR, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “America’s Got Talent,” Germany’s “Das Supertalent,” and numerous radio shows. The son of a music teacher, Gaston began studying violin at an early age. In high school, when he heard a friend make music with his hands, he was determined to learn that “instrument” as well. He began teaching himself, learning by trial, error, and practice. Lots of practice. “It was three years before I could actually play a song that I thought sounded pretty good,” he recalls, noting that it took time to develop the manual dexterity necessary to make and control the sound. “Then I started to work on the vibrato. The vibrato took 15 years. There are other people who play their hands, but I don’t think anybody does vibrato like I do. I spend a lot of time practicing.” The Allen Township resident stops talking and demonstrates, earning the attention of his Lab, Sandy. He does much of his practicing while walking her, her leash on his wrist, to free his hands. The clasp must be airtight, he says; he then squeezes his hands together, pushing out air. The fleshy part between the index finger and thumb functions as the “tone maker,” he explains. The sound is novel, slightly humorous, but surprisingly lyrical, especially as he adds the vibrato. “The real challenge is intonation,” he says, adding that the hands, like other instruments, are affected by the weather, especially humidity. While nervous energy can give a musical performance a positive edge, sweaty palms are the last things a manualist needs. Extreme dryness can also be a problem. “There has to be a certain amount of humidity,” he says. “I’ve played Musikfest when it’s 95 degrees, and it really compromised the tone quality. Part of the art of this is to know what to do to make the tonal quality most beneficial. That’s taken many years.” One of his tricks of

A MANUALIST MANUAL So, how do you learn to play your hands? Gaston offers this advice: “Start working with your hands to get the sound, then listen to a song and try to play that song, to match the pitches. It’s hard to figure out how to get different notes at first. When people try it initially, they don’t have the flexibility in their hands. It takes time.
®
“And try not to get frustrated. When I started, I was enamored. I’d walk around playing all the time. I remember my dad saying to my mom, ‘He’s always doing that.’ You have to be a little compulsive.”

the trade is antibacterial gel, which moistens the hands but dries quickly. “And it has an extra benefit. My hands are clean. I can go eat after playing.” “You can spend all your life playing your hands and just trying to get all the notes in tune,” he says. “If it’s out of tune, it might still be humorous, but I don’t like it.” Gaston, who retires this month as a special education teacher, is looking forward to spending more time with his music—both his violin and his hands. He plays violin in Lehigh Valley pit orchestras and churches, including his home church, where his wife, Betsy, is the choir director. He plays his hands solo at banquets and private celebrations. And, with his partner, Ken Purcell, he alternates between violin and hands. Purcell, who sings and plays piano and guitar, is an experienced manualist accompanist. Gaston’s hands have a range similar to a trumpet. He tunes his notes by ear, and Purcell “does something to get in there.” Gaston and Purcell’s CD, “Mr. Handman, Amazing Feats on Musical Hands,” features their unique collaboration. “We try not to put too much emphasis on the hands,” he says. “It really gets the attention, but if someone is hearing it for the first time, it’s

best to play for only a few seconds, because then they start talking. The violin is the legitimacy, and the hands are the novelty, not to say that the hands aren’t legitimate.” His hands have legitimately brought him more than 15 minutes of fame. A CNN feature story in 1996 sparked several years of live performances, via phone and on radio stations across the country. With Philadelphia manualist Jim Rotondo, billed as The Four Squeezins, he has appeared in a number of videos, now available on YouTube. The two also appeared twice on “America’s Got Talent” and, in 2001, with a hand whistler, as The Three Tendons, on the “Tonight Show With Jay Leno.” He even performed the processional for an on-air wedding on the final episode of MTV’s “Oddville.”

ome would say cousins Michael P. and Michael L. Dontas (nicknamed Senior and Junior respectively) were destined to be in the restaurant biz. They grew up working alongside their fathers in family-run restaurants, learning every job in the restaurant. From their fathers—who ran the Parkland Restaurant, and Tastee Donuts before that—they learned a strong work ethic and the meaning of a dollar. “My Dad and Uncle taught us to be so precise in everything we do,” Senior says.

THE SIZZLIN’ FAJITAS HAVE BEEN ON THE MENU SINCE DAY ONE, and they’re not going anywhere.
So in 2002, Senior and Junior followed in their fathers’ footsteps and opened Copperhead Grille in Upper Saucon Township. For the first two years Copperhead was open, Junior and Senior had a grand total of seven days off. “For 15 years, we pretty much didn’t leave,” Senior says. But they weren’t alone. Senior says his Dad and his Uncle were right there alongside them. “They’re the coaches always pushing you—in a good way. They’re always trying to make us the best we can be,” Senior says. After more than a decade, and with a second location added in Hanover Township in 2007, Copperhead Grille has become a go-to restaurant/bar with a menu featuring steaks, sizzling fajitas, burgers, salads, and plenty of wings. Senior says it offers something for everyone— no matter what you’re in the mood for. “‘Do I want Italian? Mexican? Steak?’ It’s all here under one roof with a fun atmosphere,” he says.
FORK IT OVER
The Sizzlin’ Fajitas have been on the menu since day one, and they’re not going anywhere. Options include New York Strip, Chicken, Veggie, Blackened Shrimp, Sirloin, or a Combo (Sirloin and Chicken) — served with your choice of flour or gluten-free corn tortillas. Copperhead grills its proteins in the famous Copper Spice—a mix of 14 signature spices that give its menu items a unique flavor. Love it? You can buy it to take home. In November 2018, Copperhead started selling Copper Spice ($4) and its homemade Chimmi (parsley, garlic, sun-dried tomato, citrus-infused flavor enhancer—$5).
FEATURE DISH
Copperhead Grille is known for its wings. “We start with the best, fresh, all-natural chicken wings we can buy—no hormones, no antibiotics,” Senior says. The wings are fried to order so they arrive at the table juicy, crispy, and very flavorful, he adds. Choose from one of 10 wing sauces, and if you like heat—try the Venom. It’s Copperhead’s own recipe 56

COMING ATTRACTION Work is underway on a new outdoor patio area at the Upper Saucon Township location. The new outdoor area will offer a full-service bar, fire pits and 12 TVs. Portions of the patio will be covered and the project will add an additional 80 seats to the 200-seat restaurant. “It’ll feel like a mini vacation,” Senior says, of the space, which should debut this summer.
that involves roasting fresh jalapenos and habaneros, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro; pureeing the blend and mixing it all with hot sauce. Or try the Chimmi Venom that comes with Copperhead’s fresh chimichurri on top.
INSIDERS’ TIP
When you order wings, Senior recommends asking for the sauce on the side so your wings are extra crispy. And stop by for 59 cent Wing Wednesdays (4pm until closing time, restrictions may apply).
ATMOSPHERE
With 32 TVs inside and 32 draft beers, Copperhead Grille makes for a great spot to catch your favorite game.

SCHNECKSVILLE COMMUNITY FAIR TUESDAY, JUNE 18–SATURDAY, JUNE 22 4550 OLD PACKHOUSE RD | SCHNECKSVILLE The Schnecksville Community Fair began as a small carnival on the grounds of Community Fire Co. No. 1 in 1981. In 1983, the carnival officially became a “fair,” focusing on education and showcasing Lehigh County agriculture. Over the years, the event has grown and matured, but the mission has remained constant—to be a first-class agricultural fair. The fair has plenty of activities for attendees with carnival rides; competitive exhibits of animals, foods, plants, crafts, etc.; baking and cooking contests; a barnyard petting zoo; fire equipment displays; a children’s pedal tractor pull contest; concerts in the pavilion; quarter midget racing; and a variety of other entertainment. With an assortment of “fair foods” and vendors selling their wares, the fair has something for everyone in the family. The Schnecksville Community Fair is a non-profit corporation, with all proceeds benefiting the Fire Company. The fairgrounds are located just seven miles north of Allentown, on Route 309. Visit schnecksvillefair.com for the full schedule and more information.
