Student-Athlete Forum Bangor High School college-bound student athletes got a thorough look at all aspects of attending college and participating in athletics during a presentation Thursday evening at the Craig Paine Theater at Bangor High School. Below is a list of important needs that were discussed.

• The NCAA-approved core course list for Bangor High School.

• The 2017-2018 NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Stu-dent-Athlete

• The recruiting process• A list of ideas should a student desire to contact a college

coach. The guest panel that answered question and gave advice were:

• Dr. Brett Reed: Head Men’s Basketball Coach Lehigh Uni-versity

• Troy Tucker: Athletic Director Northampton Community Col-lege

• Coach Justin Potts: Head Basketball Coach Moravian College• Coach James Fenerty: Assistant Coach Lafayette College• Abby Schaffer: Admissions Counselor Moravian College• Mrs. Denise Krouse: Bangor Area High School Guidance

Counselor• Matt Pysher: (Bangor 2014) Current NCAA Student-Athlete

at Elizabethtown College• Stani Schiavone: (Bangor 2011) Graduate of Ole Miss, Divi-

sion I Golfer, Current teacher Bangor Area School District

Partial Solar Eclipse On Monday August 21, a solar eclipse will cut across the entire

United States. And wherever you are, you will be able to see it. Even though the “totality” — the area where the sun is completely blocked out by the moon — is only 70 miles wide, the whole coun-try (even Alaska and Hawaii) will experience a partial eclipse.

We recommend punching in a few different ones to see how the eclipse experience will vary across the country. Salem, Oregon (97301), is going to see a total eclipse. Downtown Los Angeles (90012) will see 62 percent of the sun blocked at the peak. In Lake Charles, Louisiana (70601), it’ll be 71 percent.

In the Slate Belt, we will see a partial solar eclipse. The eclipse will peak at 2:42:55 pm EDT, when the moon obscures 72.6% of the sun. If you want to see the total eclipse, you will need to travel at least 550 miles southwest.

The best places in the country to see the total eclipse are Salem, Oregon; Lincoln, Nebraska; Jefferson City, Missouri; Nashville, Tennessee and Columbia, South Carolina.

Just be careful: Even on eclipse day, it’s not safe to stare directly into the sun without special viewing glasses.

The next total solar eclipse over the United States will be in 2024. After that? 2045.

Nazareth Garden Club Show The Nazareth Area Garden Club will hold it’s 15th Annual

Flower and Garden Show on Friday Sept. 8th from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday the 9th, from 10:00 a.m. to 300 p.m. at the Schoeneck Moravian Church , 316 B Broad St. Ext in Nazareth.

This year’s theme is Jungle Fever and will feature Floral Arrange-ments in 10 categories. In addition, both annual and perennial speci-mens will be judged, as well as houseplants, fruits and vegetables. Special club projects include Rosemary and a beautiful red Geranium grown by members since May. A Container Garden in a re-purposed container will also be judged by the audience. Mosaic bird baths are also featured. Jack Jones will be there with his birdhouses made form recycled barn wood.

Be sure to visit our raffle table and plant sale. The show room is air conditioned and wheelchair accessible.

Admission is always free. For more information please contact Sandee Rinehart 610-865-5439 or [email protected]

by Joe DeFranco Ciao Amici, Growing up in Roseto at the time I did it seemed everyone had a garden that had zucchini and other summer squash types growing in it, and we all know that this time of year vines go crazy producing hundreds of tiny squash. They quickly grow to gargan-tuan size if not picked. That’s why Pennsylvanian Tom Roy des-ignated August 8 as National Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day.

To celebrate it, you simply wait until the dead of night and quietly creep up to your neighbors’ front doors, leaving plenty of zucchini for them to enjoy. Ancestors of zucchini come from Americas. They were native to today’s Mexico and the northern parts of South America since more than 7,000 years ago. When the European colonization of Americas started, they were brought to Europe where their cultivation began. Zucchini were developed in Italy in the 19th century near Milan. The fact that zucchini doesn’t have an English name per se reflects the fact that people in English-speaking countries have only really been enjoying them for a few decades. As a young child, I was fas-cinated watching Grandmom pick the golden blossom from end of each emergent zucchini.

Bangor Park Summer Events:August 20: Pooch Plunge at Pool 11am - 1pmThe last day of the pool season is one for our furry friends. Come

out with man’s (or women’s) best friend and enjoy one of the last days of summer with a doggie swim day!

If interested in volunteering for the Park Board or any events con-tact Debbie Smith at [email protected] or 610-751-7692

Then into the kitchen Grandmom had a variety of recipes in which the flowers may be deep fried as fritters or tempura (after dipping in a light tempura batter), stuffed, sautéed, or baked. I especially liked the ones she stuffed with mozzarella; because while enjoying them, it allowed you to stretch out your arm with a trail of the cheese. Grandmom and Grandpop used zucchini’s bland taste, and com-bined it with its incredible abundance that led to a bewildering va-riety of food applications. Zucchini was sautéed, baked, poached, and stuffed, eaten raw, breaded and fried, made into parmigana, as a pizza topping, made with macaroni, marinated for antipasto and of course baked into bread. Here is a note to put with your zucchini when you leave them on your neighbors porch. I appreciate that you are always nice and never a meanie, so I brought you some zucchini. Now you can make zuc-chini paninis, zucchini and beanies, zucchini linguini, an zucchini martinis, to celebrate. Grazie,Joe & Joelene

Columcille’s Men’s Retreat Please join for an overnight men’s retreat August 12-13 for an op-

portunity to connect to yourself and the land of Columcille Megalith Park in Bangor, PA. The intention for the retreat is for us to examine and deepen our relationship with the land and our own spiritual path. We will discuss personal accountability and the different ways we as men can bring balance by walking our soul’s path in today’s world.

They will be exploring this work through various shamanic rituals and ceremonies. One of the events that will continue throughout the retreat will be tending the sacred fire. As Firekeepers, each participant will have the opportunity to take a turn tending the fire in a sacred way with scheduled shifts throughout the retreat. This time will also allow us to honor the oral tradition of storytelling around the fire.

It is a rare opportunity to camp on the land for this retreat which is normally not allowed. You are welcome to make other arrange-ments for sleeping if you do not wish to camp.

All of the money collected will be donated to Collumcille Park. We are asking for a donation with a sliding scale of $175 to $125. We understand the need to be flexible with the rate. We also need to get a very accurate head count. We are asking for you to pay with paypal directly through the park website.

You can donate through the membership area here: http://www.columcille.org/membersPage.html make a note that the funds are for the men’s retreat.

PA Immunization Requirements The Pennsylvania Department of Health has revised Pennsylva-

nia’s school immunization requirements for the 2017-18 school year. The new rules require parents to get their children fully immunized

prior to the fifth day of school or the students will be excluded from school. Previously, parents had eight months to meet school immu-nization requirements.

If a student is in the middle of an immunization series and it is too soon for the next dose, the parents must provide the school nurse with a written plan, signed by their health care provider, within the first five days of school.

For more information, contact your health care provider, visit www.health.pa.gov or call 1-877-PA-HEALTH
