Borough supervisor resigns, levels charge against councilor By Dan Miller
Press And Journal staff
Greg Wilsbach, the supervisor of Middletown Borough’s electric department, made public his resignation during a statement before Middletown Borough Council on Monday, July 7 in which he accused council President Christopher McNamara of authoritzing the payment of a neighbor’s tree pruning with borough funds. Wilsbach alleged that a year ago McNamara authorized the borough pay $850 worth of work done by a private contrac-

tor involving the pruning of trees at a neighbor’s house on Pine Street. Wilsbach said that McNamara, who lives across the street, authorized payment for the work, performed on July 2, 2013, because “he was tired of the leaves blowing on his property” from the neighbor’s yard. The Press And Journal has obtained a copy of an invoice for the work. “I questioned it,” Wilsbach told council regarding the tree work. “From a year until now I have been harassed because I questioned it.” After the meeting, McNamara refused to comment on the

Middletown Borough Council took a step toward overriding Mayor James H. Curry III’s veto of sewer and water rate increases, voting on Monday, July 7 to advertise an ordinance that would validate the rate hikes and trump Curry’s action. Council voted 8-1 to advertise an ordinance that would install a sewer rate increase and a small water rate increase but eliminate a hotlycontested 2,000-gallon minimum water charge on customers, requiring residents to pay for only what they use instead. It is one of two options council was considering for rate increases to compensate for a deficit in the borough’s budget, and would raise the average sewer bill from $43 to $68. Council originally approved the rate increases on Monday, June 2, hoping they would take effect on July 1. The borough’s financial consultant had recommended approval. But Curry vetoed the measure two days after council had ratified it, saying he wanted councilors to consider a second option, known as “Option B,’’ that would raise rates more gradually. He also said he wanted to hear the views of three

VINTAGE HIGH NEWS HAPP Three finalists remain for police chief post Middletown residents could meet the borough’s new police chief during council’s next meeting on Monday, July 21. Council narrowed the field of candidates for the job from five to three after a closed-door round of phone interviews during a meeting of council’s public safety committee on Monday, July 7, said committee chairman Scott Sites. Sites said the committee plans to interview the three finalists behind closed doors during the afternoon on July 21. Then all three will be presented to the public during council’s meeting that night. Residents could ask questions of the three candidates during the council meeting, Sites said. However, council will not act on appointing a new chief that night. Two of the remaining candidates are from the local area, while the third is from out of state, Sites said.

A local developer and owner of the proposed Westporte Centre and his son were charged by Middletown police after an argument with a delivery driver over parking on the West Main Street property. James Nardo, 57, and his son, Frank Nardo, 37, both of Hershey, were charged with harassment stemming from the argument on June 3 at the site, currently the home of a renovated strip mall. The charges were filed with District Judge David Judy’s office on June 24. Middletown police said James Nardo “kept getting in [the delivery driver’s] personal space and [was] threatening him,” resulting in Frank Nardo striking the delivery driver in the face, according to citations filed with Judy’s office. A summary trial is scheduled for Wednesday, July 23 before Judy.

Less than a decade ago, Steelton Borough purchased several properties in the main business district with a vision of new development. Now one property, a former liquor store at 107 N. Front St., is going up for auction – and Mayor Tom Acri hopes it’s the first of many boroughacquired properties that Steelton sells. “It’s time to get rid of them,” Acri said. “It’s time for us to get out of the real estate business.” The borough purchased the liquor store property sometime between 2005 and 2007, hoping to turn it into a senior center, Acri recalled. A senior center was operating out of the borough building at the time. “We received an $80,000 grant for the remodeling and reconstruction of the building,” Acri said. But officials for the senior center “didn’t care to use it for a senior center because of the location,” he said. The borough had to return the grant money, and the building sat untouched. Steelton officials tried to sell the property at least twice. A few years ago, the property sparked interest from the owner of the Blue Front Lounge, a neighboring property, but he changed his mind. Acri said. The liquor store, which has been vacant for years, needs several costly repairs, including

allegation made by Wilsbach. “I don’t have any issues with Mr. Wilsbach from an employment standpoint,” McNamara said. Wilsbach said he reported his concerns regarding the billing to Borough Manager Tim Konek and to Wilsbach’s supervisor, Public Works Director Ken Klinepeter. “It was like no one knew what was going on, and from then on I was harassed, and then I was told to shut the [expletive] up and I’ll keep my job,’’ Wilsbach said. “This is how it works in this borough, and Please See RESIGNATION, Page A6

Middletown police are investigating an alleged incident involving a heated argument between Mayor James H. Curry III and Chris Courogen, the borough’s director of communications, after a Middletown Borough Council meeting on Monday, July 7. Several minutes after the meeting ended around 10 p.m., a shouting match broke out between the mayor and Courogen that could easily be heard by everyone still left in council chambers, including several councilors and a handful of residents who had attended the meeting.

Stars & Stripes Salute at Sunset Park
I
t’s a mystery where the first fireworks show was staged – was it in China 1,200 years ago? Or India? Or the Middle East? – but the world has oooohed and aaaaahed over the sight of them during centuries’ worth of celebrations. French king Louis XV ordered extravagant fireworks shows at Versailles. Russian czar Peter the Great staged a five-hour fireworks show to mark the birth of his son. At Anne Boleyn’s coronation parade in 1533, fireworks shot out of the mouth of a papier-mache dragon, according to FactMonster.com. Today it’s impossible to imagine an Independence Day celebration in the U.S. without fireworks. And Londonderry Twp.’s Stars & Stripes Salute fills the sky above Sunset Park with dazzling, sparkling explosions. A large crowd gathered at the park on Saturday, July 5 to watch the display, listen to patriotic music by The New Holland Band, eat, relax and celebrate our country’s independence. Proceeds from the sale of food at the concession stand and donations made during the celebration went to the Lebanon VA Hospital. See who was watching the bombs bursting in air!

“The Life of the Mahantongo Dutch” to be displayed at the Schuylkill County Historical Society
“Out in the Walley - The Life of the Mahantongo Dutch” is the title of the next exhibit at the Historical Society of Schuylkill County, 305 S. Centre St. in Pottsville from Sat., June 21 through Aug. 30. The exhibit will feature three centuries of items from the collections of the Mahantongo Heritages Center at the Hermitage in Pitman. The Center is the only museum dedicated to the life, art, work and crafts of the Pennsylvania Dutch in the Mahantongo Valley. The exhibit, curated by Brother Johannes Zinzendorf of the Hermitage, will display a variety of folk arts and crafts, as well as photographs, architectural pieces, clothing, furniture and even music. The relative isolation of the valley’s settlers tended to create a cohesive community marked by self-sufficiency in many aspects of daily life. Local craftsmen made many of the tools, utensils, furniture and farming equipment used on a daily basis. There was even an iron foundry for molding hot metal, at least one printer, as well as blacksmiths, furniture markers, weavers, and basket makers among many others. Farm families were dependent upon their own labor for providing a variety of food products including fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products. The local streams provided fish and eels while hunting provided a variety of wild game. Local gristmills ground grains for baking and animal feed. “Out in the Walley” both recognizes and celebrates the spirit of the early pioneers as well as their descendants who even today continue some traditions from the past such as quilting and the making of apple butter. Others, however, such as flax processing for clothing and soap making are things of the past though the tools for such crafts can sometimes still be found at local farms sales. Even the German dialect of the Mahantongo Dutch is heard only rarely these days and primarily among seniors who were raised before World War II. After the war, new technology changes traditional patterns as electricity, indoor plumbing, telephones, radios and tractor became commonplace. The advent of television, computers and the Internet have connected the valley to the world and much of what made the Mahantongo unique is rarely to be found. Still, a feeling of self-reliance continues to resonate with its residents, and numerous reunions continue to bring the valley’s families together, as

Planning a Successful Genealogical Research Trip - After you exhaust all the resources at home and in your local area when compiling your family history, you may be thinking of taking a research trip. Before starting on your research trip it would be wise to do some planning so you can use your travel time wisely. First, and most important, you should determine which family line you want to research. Then determine what information or evidence you want to locate, and in how much depth you want to go in your research. Organize what you know and what facts you need to find. By setting realistic goals you can accomplish more in the time you have. After you determine your research goals you should then check what records are available at the library or historical society you are traveling to and what hours they are open. It is also helpful to learn in advance something about the history of the area you are planning to travel to and research. Knowing the history helps in knowing what area of the county to search. What was your ancestors’ church affiliation and occupation? Knowing these facts before arriving at your research destination can save time and help to focus your search. The Schuylkill County Historical Society has an extensive collection of civil, church, cemetery, newspaper and miscellaneous other records. The Court, newspaper and a few other records are on microfilm. The listing of newspapers and court records we have on microfilm in our holdings is posted on our web page. We are fortunate to have a published 1890 census for the county for that missing year of the federal census. (www.schuylkillhistory.com). The Society has an extensive collection of church and cemetery records. The focus is mainly on the early German churches, Catholic Church records are difficult to acquire, but we do have a few Catholic cemetery transcripts. The Pottsville city directories, mine inspector books (which list mine accidents and miner’s deaths), town and township histories, and church histories in our collection can also be helpful when trying to piece together your family history. We look forward to having you visit our facility, whether to do research, tour our museum, or visit our gift shop. Schuylkill County Historical Society, 305 N. Centre St., Pottsville, Pa. 570622-7540.

Letters Testamentary on the Estate of Barbara A.

Span In Township Is Classic Example Of ‘Orphan Bridge’ It’s the bridge that nobody wants, what some call an ‘orphan bridge.’ The railroad that built it went bankrupt, the state denies responsibility, and Londonderry Township officials say it doesn’t belong to them. Meanwhile, the Epler family is literally stuck in the middle, unable to get equipment to and from their Londonderry Township farm, all because the Brinser Road railroad bridge is falling down. What to do with the bridge has been discussed for years. The Public Utilities Commission lists 33 actions that have been filed so far, beginning with an application from Londonderry Township for a cost allocation for the bridge in July 1989. More recently, the debate has been heating up almost as fast as the weight limit on the bridge has been going down. “The Township owns no bridges,” Joyce Lingle, Township Secretary, says. “I don’t know whose it is.” “It’s a bad situation,” Frank Epler, whose father owns 180 acres across the bridge, says. “I can understand the Township’s position, being stuck with this.” Epler adds that his father’s property is up for sale because the family needs money to keep his father, who suffered a stroke, in a nursing home. “I can’t sell it with the bridge this way,” he says. “You’ve gotta have access. Instead of paying to fix the bridge, Londonderry supervisors are looking into building an alternate route to the Eplers’ and other properties, such as a ¾-mile-long back road that would cut through the properties of Tom Eckerd and others.

the prolonged drought that has gripped the state continues to plague farmers and worry officials in many municipalities. Last week, for instance, Mount Joy Borough decided to ask its 2,500 customers to “voluntarily” restrict their use of water as a means of conserving the community’s water supply and Middletown Borough has done the same thing. But Mount Joy Borough Manager Dan Zimmerman said the imposition of voluntary restrictions wasn’t done because of any actual water shortage. “It’s basically just a precautionary measure, Zimmerman explained. “In view of the current drought situation, we thought it was prudent to begin some effort at conserving our water supplies.” Zimmerman said the voluntary restrictions urge residents to curtail the use of water to wash cars, porches and sidewalks and for watering gardens and lawns. Noting that peak demand in Mount Joy occasionally reaches nearly 1,500,000 gallons daily. Zimmerman said voluntary restrictions might be able to reduce water consumption by as much as 100,000 to 150,000 gallons a day. Elizabethtown officials are also concerned about the long dry spell, but here there aren’t any imminent plans to impose any type of restrictions on water use. “There’s no actual shortage here yet,” Borough Co-Manager Pete Whipple said early this week, “but the situation is becoming critical and we may have to limit consumption if we don’t get a good, soaking rain in the next few weeks.” Whipple said the Borough recently received a state advisory warning that underground water supplies are being seriously threatened in many areas of the state. The state advisory recommended that municipalities should “monitor their water supplies frequently.” Town Wants State Monies To Fund Rough Wear Plan A developer’s plan to convert the former Rough Wear building into an apartment complex got another shot in the arm Monday night as Middletown Council voted to seek a larger grant from the state Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) to help underwrite the project. After hearing John Rosenthal, founder and chairman of Penrose Properties, Philadelphia, explain his firm’s latest proposal to rehabilitate the former factory building at Wood and Wilson streets, Council unanimously approved a resolution to apply for a $423,496 DCA grant. Rosenthal, who personally presented his latest plan to Council for renovating the empty building, noted that DCA had tentatively approved an earlier Borough request for a $324,000 grant to help fund the project. He said he felt confidant DCA would approve the new, higher figure. Jerry Spangler, director of DCA’s Harrisburg office, said DCA will give Council’s latest request “prompt consideration,” but he declined to speculate on when DCA might make a decision on the Borough’s new application. “We were impressed with the plans for the project,” Spangler admitted, “and with some of the projects Penrose has already completed. They have an excellent past record, but I can’t predict what will happen.” In his presentation to Council, Rosenthal also indicated his firm will appear before the Pa. Housing Finance Board (PHFB) this Thursday morning to request a $1.2 million lowinterest (1 percent) deferred loan from that agency to help finance the project.

Two flags purchased by antiques store owner Charles Dunn fly in front of his South Union Street shop.
TRADITION Continued From Page One
just for Independence Day but during nine other patriotic holidays throughout the year. After doing it without any help for the past five years, Bangert decided he couldn’t do it alone anymore. Bangert reached out to businesses and individuals who had sponsored one of his flags in the past. He said he would sell a flag and a pole to any sponsor for $10 each. The phone started ringing shortly after the article ran, and it hasn’t stopped much since. Borough resident Mike Bowman bought 30 of the flags and poles in time to put them up for July 4.
Bowman put several of the flags up at the square and at other locations throughout town. Bangert said he also sold another 24 flags and poles, for a grand total of 54 flags and poles sold since the article was published. The 24 flags have been sold to businesses and individuals who had sponsored one or more flags in the past. “I think it’s great. It’s just amazing,” Bangert said of the response. He still has another 49 flags and poles available for sale. He also has another 10 or so flags that he hopes to get “cleaned up” for sale. While plenty of the flags have been sold to Bowman and others who have expressed intentions for put-

ting them up and taking them down for the various holidays, no one person or organization has yet to step forward to coordinate the entire operation, as Bangert did in the past. Bowman said he offered to buy all the flags from Bangert, but Bangert said he wants to first give other sponsors the opportunity to buy their own flag and pole. Asked why he bought so many flags and put them up on his own, Bowman said, “Somebody has to do it. It’s important. That flag is the most important symbol we have. Guys have died defending this flag. If you are going to spend money on something, spend it on something worthwhile.”
Charles Dunn, owner of Dunn’s Antiques and Collectibles on South Union Street, bought a flag to display in front of his shop, and expressed interest in buying more to preserve Bangert’s holiday tradition. “They belong in Middletown,’’ Dunn said. Bangert said he was glad to see so many of the flags put up for Independence Day. But as for putting up and taking down all those flags? “I didn’t even miss it,” Bangert said.

RESIGNATION Continued From Page One
I am done with the stuff.” “In the last two years, I’ve never witnessed in my life such a dysfunctional, unethical – I could keep going on with the list – council,’’ Wislbach told council Monday during his public statement about his resignation. “It just makes me sick.” “I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life and it’s sickening to see what’s going on here,” Wilsbach
VETO
Continued From Page One
councilors – President Christopher McNamara and councilors Thomas Handley and Anne Einhorn – who voted against the option originally approved, known as “Option A.’’ A majority vote of the nine-member council is needed to override a mayoral veto. Council could take a vote on the final passage of the rate increase on Monday, July 21 if the proposal can be advertised before then, McNamara said. Approval would guarantee solvency of the borough’s water and sewer fund through 2019, he said.
continued. “How one or two people can run this … I can speak freely now, which is great. I had to keep my mouth shut because I signed confidentiality papers. The book is just starting to get written. I have a lot of information to put out, a lot of stuff that is going on.” Wilsbach asked Mayor James H. Curry III to investigate Wilsbach’s charges. Wilsbach presented Curry a packet of information at the meeting, explaining afterward that Curry supervises the police department. Wilsbach
McNamara said Option A is fairer because it eliminates the 2,000-gallon minimum – customers would be billed for the amount of water and sewer service they actually use. The amount would be billed according to 100-gallon increments, he said. Handley cast the lone vote against advertising Option B, saying that Option A would mean “larger increases up front’’ for residents. “It impacts certain customers more than others,’’ he said. Option B provides for a sewer rate increase that would be distributed “more evenly’’ among customers, Handley said.
ARGUMENT Continued From Page One
July 8, Curry and Courogen both acknowledged that the argument had to do with a post Curry had made on Middletown Residents United’s Facebook page Monday morning. In the post, Curry sought to dispel rumors regarding any plans by himself or the borough to disband the Middletown police department. Curry said he does not favor disbanding the department, and that in any event as mayor he does not have “the power” to disband the department. In the last sentence of the post, Curry noted that he and councilors still were awaiting an agenda for Monday night’s meeting. “As I know you monitor this page, Mr. Courogen, please be sure to inform our Council President we still await an agenda for the meeting. Thank you,” Curry wrote in the post. Curry said that after the meeting Courogen approached him about the Facebook post. A heated argument ensued between the two, and Curry
said he asked a bystander to call police because the mayor’s own phone had gone “dead.” Curry said he asked the bystander to call police because he wanted to give the police a statement about the incident. Curry refused further comment, pending the outcome of the investigation by police. Courogen said he would not comment on specifics of the incident until after he has a chance to consult with an attorney. He denied any intent to physically intimidate Curry, saying that such a suggestion was “ludicrous.” Acting Police Chief James Bennett confirmed in an e-mail to the Press And Journal on Tuesday that his department is investigating. “At this point I don’t believe we are going to make a comment,’’ he wrote. “It is an active investigation and being pursued with all vigor.” Dan Miller: 717-944-4628, or danmiller@pressandjournal.com
added that he didn’t trust council to investigate because a majority seemed to be allied with McNamara on borough matters. McNamara and the rest of council responded to Wilsbach’s statement with stony silence during the meeting, then recessed for nearly two hours behind closed doors for an executive session that had been listed on the meeting agenda. McNamara said the executive session was to discuss personnel matters. Upon re-convening the meeting, council voted to accept Wilsbach’s resignation by a vote of 9-0. The Press And Journal has obtained a copy of Wilsbach’s resignation letter, dated June 18. Acting on a tip, the Press and Journal, sought confirmation several times about Wilsbach’s employment status – including a Right-to-Know request the newspaper made to Chris Courogen, the borough’s director of communications, a few hours before Monday’s meeting – but Courogen replied after each inquiry that he had not been aware that Wilsbach had submitted a resignation letter.

A Palmyra man led police on a foot chase after he was approached for exposing his girlfriend’s breast in front of bathers, including children, at the Middletown Community Pool on Saturday, June 28, according to Middletown police. An employee at the pool told police that Joseph Walker, 28, was “highly drunk and causing a problem,” and he was observed stumbling and walking unsteadily, police said. When police attempted to speak with Walker, he “smiled and took off running,” according to an affidavit of probable cause filed with District Judge David Judy’s office. Police apprehended Walker near the corner of Ann and South Union streets after a brief foot pursuit. A witness at the pool later told police that Walker exposed his girlfriend’s breast and was groping her in front of everyone at the pool, authorities said. The scene was chaotic, as police tried to speak with Walker’s girlfriend. At one point, as she was saying goodbye to Walker, he started to “yell obscenities of sexual nature out of the window [of the police cruiser] at the top of his lungs,” police said. While taking Walker to the Dauphin

County Judicial Center, Walker threatened officers and said their “children would be raped and killed in school,” police said in the affidavit. Walker also allegedly told police he was going to beat them and that he “molested 15 kids in middle school,” the affidavit states. At the booking center, Walker refused to exit the police vehicle and had to be physically removed and restrained by an officer and staff, police said. He continued to yell obscenities, make threats and pound on a sink after
being confined in a cell, police said Walker was charged with open lewdness, indecent assault without consent of others, escape, public drunkenness and similar misconduct, and disorderly conduct. The charges were filed with Judy’s office on June 28. Walker was held in Dauphin County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 16 before Judy.

Seven Sorrows festival to be held this week By Noelle Barrett
Press And Journal Staff
From perogies and pies to carnival games with prizes and rides, the 12th annual Seven Sorrows Community Festival has something for everyone. This year, the festival will be held July 10-12 from 6 to 10 p.m. on the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church grounds on Race Street. The church hopes the festival will bring together the entire community with games of fun, skill and chance for all ages. Bingo will be held during the evenings in the cafeteria, and there will be plenty of carnival rides. You can also find some sweet rides from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 10 during the festival’s 4th annual

Even if you opt out of the carnival games, you can still take home some treasures by stopping at the flea market in the gym, or the craft corner, or bidding at the silent auction and basket raffle. To top off the night, there will be plenty of food, from carnival classics such as fresh cut french fries, burgers, hot dogs and funnel cakes, to ethnic foods including haluski, halupki, bigos, and perogies. Festival-goers can also sit back, relax and enjoy the sounds of Dan Steele on Thursday, the Polka Quads on Friday and Fresh Ayre on Saturday.

repairs to its leaking roof. “It’s no secret it cost us roughly $80,000 to buy it,” Acri said. “We’re hoping someone comes along and is willing to invest in it.” Last month, Steelton Borough Council hired Diffenderfer Auctions to sell the property “as is,” with a starting bid of $2,000. The property will be sold to the highest bidder who agrees to bring the building up to code within a year. The borough also agreed to grant a six-month extension to a buyer who makes progress on improvements to the property. According to a listing on Diffenderfer Auctions’ website, the one-story
storefront building is 3,072 square feet in size, is zoned commercial, and is assessed at $123,000 by Dauphin County. If no one buys the property, the borough will be required to pay $1,200 to the auctioning firm. Auctioneer Mark Diffenderfer, owner of Diffenderfer Auctions, told the borough he couldn’t guarantee the building would sell, but starting the bids low attracts buyers to the auctions. The auction will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 19. An open house will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 10 by appointment, and again on auction day.

“I am submitting my notice that effective July 10th 2014 I will be resigning as Electric Supervisor for the Borough of Middletown. I am very proud of my department’s many accomplishments over the last 26 years of employment, including my last seven as Supervisor of Electric. However, unfortunately with the current permitted harassment and reckless decisions by Council President McNamara, Vice President [Robert] Louer, and Councilors Brubaker and [Suzanne] Sullivan, I can no longer effectively provide a safe reliable electric service that our residents deserve. “The last two years under their leadership, I have endured a work environment so hostile and unethical that it has finally taken its toll on my health. I will sadly miss working with my colleagues and serving our great residents, and wish them all well. Please freeze my retirement benefits until which time I am qualified to utilize them.” Dan Miller: 717-944-4628, or danmiller@pressandjournal.com

Councilor John Brubaker, who chairs council’s public works committee, said he did not know of Wilsbach resigning until Wilsbach made his public statement during council’s Monday night meeting. Brubaker said he did not know whether council will replace Wilsbach, or what the borough’s plan is going forward regarding the nowvacant electric department supervisor position. Wilsbach’s salary is $78,852.80, tied with Klinepeter’s as the highest salary of any non-union employee in the borough, Courogen said. Wilsbach has worked for the borough for 26 years, the last seven spent as the electric department supervisor. Regarding the future of Wilsbach’s position, Courogen said, “I do not know what direction council will go, but I can tell you that we do already have processes and backups in place to ensure that there will be no problems with our electric service in the borough.” The text of Wilsbach’s resignation reads as follows:

Each spring, savor the beauty of nature W
hat appeared to be void of life only several months ago now is bursting at its seams with newfound activity. Nature has begun another year with endless opportunities to take in the beauty of woods and water. For two weeks in May, Lynn and I spent time at our mountain cabin, Deer Run, located in Lycoming County. We can attest to nature’s rebirth. The mountains that make up the Allegheny chain of the Appalachians are now covered with endless canopies of new growth. Forests are dressed in a sea of green that had appeared naked and bare during the winter. Leaves of every shape now abound. Dogwoods, with their brilliant white flowers, are one of the major blooms of spring. Once the dogwoods bloom, spring is on course. Our state flower, the mountain laurel, waits for June to arrive to give the mountains their contribution to the rites of spring. Laurels in full bloom transform the mountains into a sea of white, red and pink. Seeing mountain laurel at its height of bloom is a sight to behold. A typical spring morning at Deer Run awakes with a melody of sounds. Birds are the alarm clock to announce a new spring day has arrived. Sounds of every tone, pitch and sequence are chirped by the feathered fraternity. Woodpeckers are the loudest, from the small downy and redhead, to the huge pileated. These characters either broadcast with their vocal cords or hammer away with their beaks on trees, looking for a meal of insects. Sometimes an Eastern wild turkey can be heard gobbling.

Spring is a gobbler’s mating season, as it is for many other birds. A gobbler attracting a hen with his thundering gobbling and his wing-strutting is a sure sign of spring. A distinctive humming sound from our porch post is another spring happening. It is the welcoming of the humming birds, with wings beating a mile a minute. These little guys find our sugar water feeder each spring to replenish themselves. They become so accustomed to our presence, they hover only a few feet from where we sit on the porch. I think about them, how remarkable they are to migrate thousands of miles and return to find our porch post each spring. Spring is also a time for chipmunks. A little guy we named “Chip” is a very entertaining spring visitor. His burrow is next to our woodpile. Appearing cautiously, Chip takes a close look of his surroundings and remains completely stationary before making a bold dash toward our porch, to the kernels of corn placed out for him. He makes his stop well worthwhile. Taking in as much corn as his cheeks can hold, he returns to the safety of his burrow, only to reappear minutes later with empty cheeks for an immediate refill. Chip would make FedEx or UPS proud. This critter loads, transports and delivers on time throughout the day. Finally, during our spring stay I was blessed to see a newborn whitetail deer fawn. No bigger than a large rabbit, with legs twice its body size, the fawn topped our spring visit. I estimated that the fawn was only a day or two old. It was wobbly on its feet and kept close it its mother. At one point it began to nurse. How fortunate I was to witness this. The season of spring provides an endless opportunity to view, witness and experience the woods and water of nature. Take the time to enjoy the outdoors. You will be glad you did.

id you see the U.S. flags hanging in Middletown’s square for Independence Day? Along Union Street? Were you surprised? The man who has carried on the tradition of hanging the flags on poles in town during patriotic holidays, Sam Bangert, had announced his retirement from the enterprise in an article published in the Press And Journal on Wednesday, July 2. He’s now 70, and after 25 years of spearheading the effort – at its heyday, sponsors paid for 114 flags that Bangert and a Boy Scout troop posted throughout Middletown – he decided he could no longer keep going. He offered to sell the flags and poles at $10 apiece to anyone who wanted to place a flag in front of their business, and hoped to find someone who would supervise the effort in the future. While no one has stepped forward to take over for Bangert, several residents and businesses did step forCan you imagine an ward to buy flags and keep Independence Day, or a the patriotic tradition alive, at Veterans Day, or a Memorial least in part. Resident Mike Bowman, a Day without the U.S. flags local landlord, purchased 30, flying in Middletown? placing some on the square. "Guys have died defending this flag,'' said Bowman, a regular at Middletown Borough Council meetings and sometime critic of government spending. "If you are going to spend money on something, spend it on something worthwhile." Businesses like Dunn’s Antiques and Collectibles purchased a flag to hang in front of their establishments (including the Press And Journal, we’re delighted to point out). "They belong in Middletown,'' said owner Charles Dunn, citing the tradition that Bangert perpetuated. It’s a tradition that should be preserved – and we thank Bangert for carrying the responsibility for so many, many years. And we applaud those who were so moved by the patriotic tribute – can you imagine an Independence Day, or a Veterans Day, or a Memorial Day without the flags flying in Middletown? – that they did something to preserve it. We're encouraged that, as Bangert points out in a follow-up story on page A1 of this edition, that many others still are calling him to buy the flags. This is what can happen when Middletowners put aside their political differences to do something good for the town. The flag display was tremendous. Long may they wave.

Is Snowden a patriot or a traitor – and do you care?

prevailing laws in support of doing what was right. Martin Luther King Jr. had the courage to denounce the Vietnam War, even when supporters of civil rights urged him not to get involved. As Yale scholar David Bromwhich points out, King “was thought to be deserting his proper cause, which was equality for blacks in the United States.” Despite this criticism, the hero of the civil rights movement still recognized the Vietnamese peasants trapped under napalm and white phosphorous as “our brothers.” The Apostle Paul was flogged, imprisoned, starved, left shipwrecked, placed under house arrest, and ultimately beheaded for preaching the Gospel. He met an untimely end for his faith. Had he stayed silent, Paul wouldn’t have had to endure such hardship. But he was ultimately driven by something greater than himself. In the same vein, Snowden broke the law for a cause he viewed as bigger than a mere news report. He fled his home country for fear of lifelong imprisonment. His was the cause of privacy, freedom and the human need for candid communication. It was noble. But it could be argued the degree to which Snowden was determined to blow the lid off of the NSA’s spy regime necessitated a sacrifice greater than exile. Is it more honorable to fall on the sword? In some cases, yes, but it’s hard to blame Snowden for running. Daniel Ellsberg, the famous Pentagon Papers leaker who fomented the end of the Vietnam War by revealing the government’s systematic deceit on winnability, took to the pages of the Washington Post last summer to defend Snowden’s decision to flee. “The country I stayed in was a different America, a long time ago,” Ellsberg wrote. Major news outlets demonize Snowden despite his shining a light on the fact that the privacy of millions is being trampled. But amid all the debate, there is the question of great profundity: Should Snowden have martyred himself instead of leaving? I doubt we’ll have a concrete answer anytime soon. It will be up to history to say if all of Snowden’s deeds were just. Let’s hope that, by then, the Orwellian playground constructed by the NSA won’t have made the practice of speaking truth extinct.

Ethanol is saving us gas money s Americans hop in their cars this summer, gasoline prices are at a six-year high. Thanks to surging demand and continued turmoil in Iraq, gas is quickly approaching $4 a gallon. With prices rising so fast, there’s never been a more important time for America to invest in alternative sources of energy. The longer we’re dependent on oil, the longer we’re at the mercy of foreign political turmoil. One of the most promising alternative energy sources is ethanol, a renewable fuel derived from common agricultural goods like corn, wood chips and grasses. Ramping up America’s ethanol production would drive down demand for oil and wean this country off the volatility and sudden price swings that come along with it. And yet, despite the profound promise of ethanol, some politicians are pushing to stamp it out. They’re lobbying to repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which requires the use of ethanol in the national fuel supply to promote greater energy independence and a cleaner environment. This doesn’t make any sense. The modern energy market was borne out of the substantial industrial shifts stimulated by World War I. The resulting industrial ramp-up generated planes, submarines and tanks that all relied on the internal combustion engine. Even after the conflict ceased, the widespread commercial thirst for oil remained strong. It’s grown steadily since. And America has leaned heavily on oil-rich Persian Gulf nations to feed its demand. Oil is what’s known as a “global commodity,” meaning it costs the same price regardless of where it is produced. Hence the sad irony According to that while the a study from U.S. is domestically producing Iowa State more oil than at University, any time in the increased past 28 years, ethanol use oil prices have continued to saved the rise. average However, beAmerican cause so much oil comes from family $1,200 the Middle at the gasoline East, it has an pump in 2011. outsized influence on global gas prices. Producers in that region have banded together to form a cartel, allowing them to artificially restrict supply and drive up world prices at will. What’s more, many of the top oil-producing countries in the Gulf are exceptionally unstable and conflict-prone. That turmoil also disrupts supply, leading to price increases that ripple throughout the globe. The price of ethanol, on the other hand, isn’t set by a monopolistic cartel on the world stage. Ethanol producers are based right here in the States. They’re reliable in a way foreign producers have never been. That’s why ethanol offers the best hope for America to finally break this dangerous dependence. It’s estimated that since 2000, U.S. foreign oil imports have dropped by 35 percent because of increased ethanol use. In 2013, ethanol production displaced the amount of oil America imports from Iraq and Venezuela – 462 million barrels of crude oil. According to a study from Iowa State University, increased ethanol use saved the average American family $1,200 at the pump in 2011. Likewise, energy economist Philip Verleger recently concluded that the RFS has saved consumers about a $1 a gallon on average for gasoline. Ethanol production is also a huge job creator. A typical U.S. ethanol plant produces 1 million gallons annually and supports nearly 3,000 jobs. In all, the RFS supports over 400,000 jobs in sectors ranging from farming and manufacturing. Special interests have regularly encouraged members of Congress to jettison the Renewable Fuel Standard. Congress has wisely resisted. Now is the time to intensify our commitment to domestic renewables so more Americans can hit the road.
NOT SURE
JAMESMILLER t’s been a year since Edward Snowden made history, facilitating the biggest government leak in American history. From his revelations we learned the National Security Agency is collecting billions of data points – called metadata – related to the e-mail correspondences and phone records of both American citizens and non-citizens without probable cause. The massive data vacuum is blatantly unconstitutional, per the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights, yet little has been done to deter the Obama administration. Under the NSA’s surveillance program, everyone continues to be treated like a criminal, and must prove their innocence after their privacy has been violated. Much ado has been made of Snowden’s intentions with the massive leak. Two distinct camps have sprung up, either to defend or villainize the now-Russian exile. The commentariat class in Washington, D.C., has diligently smeared the 30-yearold Snowden as a narcissistic traitor who fled capture in an oligarchic country. A broad coalition of conservatives, libertarians, and liberals have defended the leak, even though Snowden broke an oath of confidentiality while working in the U.S. intelligence sector. Some crazed observers, such as David Frum, the former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, even alleged

The Capitol REPORT
Police radar would make roads safer T
he state House Transportation Committee, of which I am a member, recently traveled to Monroe County for a public hearing on legislation that would authorize the use of radar as a speed detection device by local police departments. The hearing featured testimony from regional police departments and local government officials, as well as a demonstration of the radar devices by the Pennsylvania State Police. Specifically, House Bill 38 would allow the radar to be used by full-time municipal police officers who have successfully completed a training course approved by the state police and the Municipal Police Officers’ Education and Training Commission. Pennsylvania ranks third in the U.S. in the number of speed-related vehicle fatalities. We are the only state that does not allow municipal police departments to use this technology.
WHEN YOU CAN'T BREATHE, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
I believe that allowing municipal or regional police officers to use radar is a positive step toward ensuring safer roads and fewer speed-related fatalities. If signed into law, this measure could also save local tax dollars that are currently being used to purchase and maintain alternative speedregistering equipment and train officers on how to use it.

He starts by defining the primary duty of a modern yard: to efficiently pass solar energy, the sunlight falling there, upward and onward throughout nature’s food web. Most any leaf or lawn performs the first act, photosynthesis; but what passes on the energy from there? That’s where grass and exotic ornamentals falter and natives rule. The natives get chewed by insects, which in turn feed other bugs and spiders, all these ultimately translating sunlight into birds. “Pest free,’’ an endearing term to most, actually means a plant’s not doing its job of feeding the ecosystem, Tallamy says. And maybe there was a time it didn’t matter as much; but humans have disrupted natural habitats profoundly and widely. Now every back yard counts if we’re to preserve more than a glimmer of our original heritage of plants and wildlife, Tallamy argues in his book “Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants.”
We’ve got a ways to go. His studies of typical suburban yards across Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware find they are about 92 percent lawn and 80 percent alien plants. These non-natives were often selected for being relatively unattractive to insects in their native habitats. Compounding the problem, leaf chemistry turns out to vary hugely among species of native plants, Tallamy says. This means most plant-eating insects have evolved to specialize – only about 10 percent are able to eat a wide variety of plants. This coevolution of plant eaters and plants is a bond not easily broken. Tallamy shows that introduced plants like clematis, even after a century, still host about a 40th of the insects as in their native countries. For eucalyptus, it’s close to a 50th; for phragmites, about a 50th – after three centuries. Some gardeners will note that our native birds eat the berries of both native and nonnative plants. But berries occur after the critical nesting season for most birds – good fuel for migration; but what if there’s no one to migrate? It is insects, including the arthropods like spiders, that provide the fat and protein essential to hatching young for more than 90 percent of birds. Similarly, pollinators like the bees can use non-native plants, but our native bees (honeybees are imports) seem to do better with native plants. Butterflies are more adaptable to alien flowers, although monarchs depend absolutely on native milkweed. So: Having decided to renounce some lawn, and to downsize your big buy of crape myrtles, what should you plant to maximize your food web, to most productively translate sunlight into birdlife? For our region, Tallamy’s done some of the best research we have, using moth and butterfly
larvae as surrogates to relate native species to insect biomass. Oaks top the list, with 534 species supported. Willows, cherries and plums are close behind, with 456 species (not the popular and alien weeping willow, however). Other good ones are birches, crabapples, blueberries, maples, elms, pines, hickories, hawthorns, spruce, walnuts, beech and lindens. That’s a lot of choice – more than 80 varieties of oak alone. And don’t think you need space for the Wye Oak. There are smaller varieties like dwarf chinquapin oak and turkey oak; and closely planted, oaks, like any tree, will grow up, not wide. Their roots go deep so they won’t dig up sidewalks or foundations. Even with native plants, a complex yard is best. Avoid monocultures. Diversity creates a stable food web that includes critters to eat the critters that eat your plants. Birds alone do an immense job of keeping plants from being overeaten. Tallamy says it takes 6,000 to 9,000 caterpillars to feed one nest of chickadees. Are the many cultivars of native plants available now kosher? It is his most-asked question. The answer is “mostly.’’ If it’s a variation that changes green leaves to red, maybe not; but if it’s just to make a species taller or shorter, probably OK. The old answer to why we’re losing species diversity was “loss of habitat.” It’s also the habitat we’ve been planting all over our yards, the “pest-free” alien ornamentals. We have to rethink the yard. Pest free is dysfunctional; ornamental is ecologically pretty as well as photogenic.

Early Memories, excerpt from September 7, 1994 column Every once in a while someone asks, “What’s your earliest memory?” It takes a minute or two to get your brain in gear, and then the thoughts start to flow. Of course, one must admit to being a certain age if you can recall … let’s say … Gerald Shaffner delivering ice to homes about town, the milk men from Parthermore’s Dairy rattling bottles on early morning deliveries, double header steam engines pulling long trains of camouflaged talks and jeeps through town, old glass domed gas pumps in front of McCauley’s Restaurant. Burgess Knight’s raspberry patch at Whitehouse Lane, the night the Twin Kiss opened, the incomparable smell of Zeller’s Superior Potato Chips floating up and down Eshelman Street, the monkey swing over the “steamy” pond back of Cow Town, solemn parades up “Cemetery Hill” on Decoration Day, the Highspire High School Band playing Sousa’s “Manhattan Beach” as they headed up the athletic field before school. Brown’s Restaurant, the paper store at Second and Commerce Streets when the awning said “Hoover’s”, the A&P Store at Second and Roop Streets when Jiggs Sauder was manager, Bittings Shoe Store and Cobbler Shop next door, the “old” hardware store and adjacent red brick Gross residence, the Blue Front Cafe, Higgin’s Market. Mrs. Hocker selling penny candy at 13 Roop Street, the Quonset Hut Bowling Alley on Lumber Street, the old Boat House at the foot of Broad Street, Joe Deibler playing the pipe organ in the United Brethren Church, the white house at the end of Whitehouse Lane, Merlo Bonholtzer scooping homemade ring bologna from steaming cauldrons in Cover’s Meat Market on Lusk Avenue, the smell of the smokehouse at Keefer’s Butcher Shop along Burd’s Run and Second Street, the sound of coal be-

Blue Star Memorial Marker unveiled at Highspire Plaza
A Blue Star Memorial Highway Marker honoring military veterans was unveiled at the Highspire Plaza on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on Tuesday, June 17 by turnpike officials and representatives of the Harrisburg Area Civic Garden Center. The memorial highway program was started in 1945 after World War II to honor those who served in the armed forces. The blue star was used on service flags to denote a service member fighting in the war. The marker was funded by the Har-
risburg Area Civic Garden Center, an affiliate of the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania District IV and National Garden Clubs Inc. A welcoming speech was given by Linda Grudi, President, followed by the presentation of colors by the 28th Infantry Division of the Pennsylvania National Guard. A history of the Blue Star Markers was presented by Corrine Babson, the Garden Club Federation’s state Blue Star chairwoman. Unveiling of the marker was com-

pleted by Patricia Powley, event coordinator and past president of the Harrisburg Garden Center and Jane Howe, chairwoman of the Sage and Roses Fund. Barbara Brand, District IV director, and Mary Jo Schlomann, District I director, dedicated the marker, while Mark Compton, CEO of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, accepted the marker on behalf of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. A presentation was made to Marine Sgt. John Peck by Vietnam Veterans Association Chapter 542 and by the Turnpike Commission. Haley Hoffman of Halifax sang the “StarSpangled Banner.’’ A touching Military Field Cross ceremony was given to honor all those who gave their life in wartime, followed by a 21-gun salute and “Taps’’ by the Lancaster County Vet 21 Honor Guard.
fitness health & beauty guide Eat The Rainbow For Good Health By Sam Erickson Some people complain about how difficult it is to eat healthy food because of all of the conflicting information on what exactly is good for you. How much iron do you need? What about antioxidants? How about folic acid? You can drive yourself crazy trying to micromanage your diet to ensure you are getting the right stuff. If you’ve got a family, you’re probably even more concerned. One simple way to consume a variety of nutrients and ensure a balanced diet is to choose your food by color. Different colored foods get their color from different pigments, which arise from different nutritional elements. Red Foods Red fruits and vegetables have either lycopene or anthocyanins. Lycopene has been shown to reduce the risk of some cancers, while anthocyanins serve as antioxidants that can protect cells from damage. Red foods include apples, grapes, potatoes, raspberries, tomatoes and watermelon. Orange & Yellow Foods Orange and yellow foods are colored by carotenoids, which gets converted into vitamin A in the body. Carotenoids have also been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer and improve the body’s immune system. Oranges and nectarines obviously qualify as orange and yellow foods, but so do sweet corn, sweet potatoes and some watermelon. Green Foods The green family is larger than most, and it has a variety of benefits. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower may help to protect against cancer, while leafy greens contain sources of B vitamins and vitamin C and have a high iron content. Some green vegetables like peas, peppers and celery contain lutein, a chemical that helps maintain eye health. Blue & Purple Foods Like their yellow counterparts, blue foods contain anthocyanins. Blueberries, figs, plums and raisins have powerful antioxidants and have been shown in some studies to reduce risk of cancer and stroke. White Foods White fruits and vegetables get their color from anthoxanthins. Some are good sources of potassium, while others may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Onions, parsnips, bananas, garlic and potatoes all fall into the category of white foods. An added benefit of eating a variety of foods is that you’ll get a variety of flavors. When people eat a variety of flavors, they tend to eat less food. Of course, any food can make you obese. Even if you eat only vegetables, if you eat too many of them and don’t control your portion size, you will gain weight. Similarly, the recommendations here depend on the natural coloring of fruits and vegetables. Blue mustard or green chicken nuggets aren’t going to have the natural pigments of whole fruits and vegetables. If you want to eat healthy, you don’t have to spend all of your time calculating micronutrients or being swayed by the latest report on the evening news. All you have to remember is that a healthy mixture of colors will help you get a good mix of nutrients.
