s May 25th marked a monumental 145 year anniversary for one of the area’s top natural wonders, Crystal Cave, Kathy Campbell delves into the depths of history sharing how this Kutztown landmark came to be. The year was 1872. Eager explorers arrived for the formal opening and illumination of The Crystal Cave. In order for tourists to catch a glimpse of Pennsylania’s first show cave, visitors paid a twenty-five cent admission, then carried a torch and spare supply of candles and entered the dark cavern.

In time...trains, trolleys and stagecoaches brought travelers for overnight stays at the Cave Hotel but ceased when day trips triumphed. Electricity offered alternate illumination dowsing candles,

torches and kerosene lanterns; with cement stairs replacing wooden ladders adding new walk...ways around the cave. After five decades, the Kohler family sold Crystal Cave to its current owners in 1923 who incorporated as Crystal Cave Company, Inc. An above ground expansion was established in the late 1960’s with movies added to tour experiences. An ice cream parlor, museum and nature trail; soon joined picnic facilities, panning for gemstones and souvenir shops to make the stop a day tripper’s paradise. Though we’ve touched upon the cave’s exterior evolution, what hasn’t changed is its interior charm. With a passage of merely 1785

feet, Crystal Cave is not as large as some of the other caves that have remained in their natural stage; forming an advantage of beautiful formations and greater concentration of dripstone. Conservation in mind, Campbell vows intentions remain to preserve and protect this natural wonder reasoning, “In order to provide enjoyment and entertainment to tourists for generations to come.” More than 5 million people have explored Crystal Cave. With extended hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily now through November, a summer institution for a family fun solution close by just comes naturally.

o you have decided to run your first 5K race. If you’ve never done this type of activity before, it can seem intimidating. However, having the proper steps in place to prepare yourself, mind and body, will safely and effectively get you through those miles with ease. Here are a few things the experts at Phoenix Athletica want you to focus on while prepping for that 5K Training Preparation Begin by finding and purchasing the proper footwear. It is a good idea to go to a specialty running shop and be fitted for shoes that best suit your gait pattern. Finding comfortable clothing to run in is also very important. Take into consideration the time of year and time of day that your race takes place. Also, take time to learn about proper running form and get some miles in before the big day. Pre-Race Training is Essential Start your training regimen 8-12 weeks out from the race. Your sessions should be 35 to 40 minutes, not including a dynamic warm-up. Dynamic warm-up exercises can include the following 1. Warrior Lunge – Warms up the core muscles and promotes hip mobility and Achilles tendon flexibility. 2. Toy Soldier – Warms up glutes, hamstrings and quads. 3. Lateral Lunge – Activates the glutes and adductor muscles. 4. Star Touch – Improves hamstring and glute flexibility. 5. Runner’s Touch – Activates the core muscles and boosts flexibility in the glutes and hamstrings. Once you’ve completed those movements, you can conduct your running session by breaking it into walk/run ratios. Each week you should progress by decreasing the amount of time you walk and increasing your run time. Follow each session up with cool down and foam rolling/stretching. Fueling Up/Hydrating There is nothing special you should be eating aside from a healthy diet. It is essential to get plenty of fruits/vegetables, protein and healthy complex carbohydrates. Also make sure that you’re getting plenty of water. You don’t need to drown yourself, but taking in water consistently throughout each day should be sufficient. The Mental Game Visualization can be an important tool to calm your pre-race jitters. Focus on all aspects for the day of the race including the course, weather, scenery and spectators. Prepare your mind for not just what will go right, but also the unexpected. Create self-affirmations to get you to the finish line. This will help to boost your race day confidence and know that all the preparation was worth it! While running in general can seem daunting at first, following a simple protocol like this will certainly remove any doubt that you are capable of taking it on. Remember to visualize a positive outcome for yourself every time you run and repeat. Finally, don’t forget the most important aspect—to have fun!

housands visit the region for sensational outdoor excursions, exciting entertainment and unique shopping. So what makes Pocono Mountains merchants tops above other destination locations?

While the altitude does tend to elevate these shop stops; we’re not looking at geography...or are we? Taking time to talk shop, Holley Ross Pottery illustrates what a magnificent experience can be when it’s spent surrounded by spectacular scenery onsite and on the drive. “It’s one of the most scenic drives in the Poconos,” smiles Holley Ross owner Charlotte Laing. Adding, “It’s worth the drive from anywhere,” she shares how the quaint little town of LaAnna, nestled midway between Cresco and Newfoundland along Route 191 North, adds character to the shop. Customers may browse through colorful collections of items from more than 150 manufacturers including Fiesta Dinnerware, Polish Pottery, glassware, pizza stones, Romertopf Healthy Bakeware; as well as, some products straight from

Holley Ross artisans made right before your eyes. Besides having such a large variety, the prices are great—some as low as 70% below MSRP. This gives you an idea of why generations continue to visit the shop which was established in 1948. While we’ve talked about a beautiful scenic drive and large factory showroom with great prices; demonstrations on pottery making are also available. After enjoying all of this, Holley Ross owns and maintains a beautiful woodland park with a swinging bridge, sawdust trails, and a scenic five acre lake for the pleasure of their customers. Considering the experience, “A true taste of the Poconos,” Charlotte shares an invitation to enjoy all the store has to explore. Less than two hours from New York and surrounding areas, why not set the date to buy a plate or a whole set at Holley Ross Pottery today. With a map below to share where to go, all there is to do is know when— open daily 9:30 to 5:30 Monday to Saturday and Sunday 1 to 5:30!
