FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Flash Flood Watch for the Slate Belt, Berks County, the Lehigh Valley and southern Poconos from 2 PM EDT this afternoon through this evening. Showers and thunderstorms containing heavy downpours are expected to develop this afternoon. This activity may become better organized toward early evening and then weaken eventually late in the evening. While rainfall amounts area wide will generally average under one inch, locally heavy rainfall of 2 to 3 inches is possible where thunderstorms move over the same location. Heavy rainfall within a short period of time can lead to rapidly rising water and flash flooding, particularly in urban areas, along small creeks and streams as the ground is already very saturated due to recent heavy rains over the past two weeks. There is a potential for an additional round of locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding on Friday.
Delaware River Safety Advisory
Delaware River Safety Advisory for August 3-6: The Delaware River is expected to hit the mandatory life jacket threshold of 8’ at the Montague gauge by 2 pm today (Friday, 8/3). Once it hits that mark, wearing a properly-fitted, US Coast Guard-approved life jacket is mandatory at all times for all Delaware River boaters, including paddlers. Swimming is also prohibited due to increased hazards from high water. The river is expected to continue to rise with the current crest predicted at just under 11’ on Saturday afternoon. (Far below flood stage) That is 5-6 vertical feet higher than average for this time of year. It will remain above 8’ through the weekend. Hazards include swifter and stronger currents, colder water temperature, increased debris, reduced visibility, and submerged obstacles, particularly along the shorelines. Monitor river levels at: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=bgm&gage=mtgn4
Health Advisory......West Nile Virus Alert
The recent rain is a reminder that standing and stagnant water is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and potentially West Nile Virus (WNV).
Please remember to empty or dispose of water-holding containers that have collected on your property. According to Pennsylvania’s West Nile Virus Control Program, Northampton County has eight total positive tests for WNV among the nearly 400 mosquitoes that have been collected. In 2000, West Nile virus appeared for the first time in Pennsylvania in birds, mosquitoes and a horse. To combat the spread of West Nile virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, Pennsylvania has developed a comprehensive network. This network, which covers 40 counties, includes trapping mosquitoes, collecting dead birds and monitoring horses, people and, in past years, sentinel chickens. State DEP and county mosquito control professionals have been using Bti, a naturally occurring bacteria to kill mosquito larvae for year. This material is now becoming widely available for you to buy and use yourself at home. Bti can be purchased in small, donut-shaped form, often called "mosquito dunks", which are useful in small areas of standing water, sch as a birdbath or small puddle of water that may gather in a low spot on your property. A granular form of Bti is available, and effective for larger areas, such as backyard ponds. Bti can be purchased in many lawn and garden, outdoor supply, and home improvement stores. The great thing about this bacteria is that it kills only mosquito and black fly larvae. It is not harmful to people, pets, aquatic life (such as fish) or plants. The best way to control mosquitoes is still to get rid of standing water on your property. And, make sure you follow all label instructions carefully if you use Bti at home. Navy Training....
Emily Due completed US Navy Basic Training at Great Lakes, Illinois on June 15, 2018. Emily is currently serving in Gulfport, MS, for further training as a Navy Seabee. Emily is the daughter of Bonnie Richardson and Patrick Due. She is a 2017 graduate of Pen Argyl Area High School. Congratulations Emily and thank you for serving in the US Navy!

Book Review
"Infidel" book by Ayaan Hirsi Ali review by Katy Albanese
Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born in 1969 in Mogadishu, Somalia. And so began her life as a little girl in a Muslim society. Her autobiography recounts the
many ways that girls and women are subjugated by men who follow the teachings of Muhammad and the religion of Islam.
In an Islamic society, females are valuable only in their ability to bear children and to be of service to their husbands. They are circumcised when
they are little girls, beaten by husbands, brothers, or any other men in the community, for any infraction. They cannot go outside the house without completely covering hemselves with a hijab. They have no voice, no vote, no rights.
Ayaan was a faithful follower of Islam, following all the rules. She was an avid reader and began to have doubts about what was written in the Koran. When the attacks of 9-11 occurred, she saw the cracks in the philosophy supported by the Muslim Brotherhood.
When her father arranged a marriage with a man she had never met, Ayaan sought a way of escape. En route to meet her new husband, she made a plan
to hide from her family and start a new life. She took a flight to Germany, then sought asylum in Holland. There she got a job, attended college, wrote
books on the evils of Islam and was elected to Parliament.
Now, Ayaan lives with her husband and son in the United States, surrounded by bodyguards because of her outspoken criticism of the oppression
suffered by Muslim women.
This book opened my eyes to the true nature of Islam, told by one who understands the religion. Read this account and become informed.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - August 3
Nautilus travels under North Pole 1958
On August 3, 1958, the U.S. nuclear submarine Nautilus accomplishes the first undersea voyage to the geographic North Pole. The world’s first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus dived at Point Barrow, Alaska, and traveled nearly 1,000 miles under the Arctic ice cap to reach the top of the world. It then steamed on to Iceland, pioneering a new and shorter route from the Pacific to the Atlantic and Europe.
The USS Nautilus was constructed under the direction of U.S. Navy Captain Hyman G. Rickover, a brilliant Russian-born engineer who joined the U.S. atomic program in 1946. In 1947, he was put in charge of the navy’s nuclear-propulsion program and began work on an atomic submarine. Regarded as a fanatic by his detractors, Rickover succeeded in developing and delivering the world’s first nuclear submarine years ahead of schedule. In 1952, the Nautilus’keel was laid by President Harry S. Truman, and on January 21, 1954, first lady Mamie Eisenhower broke a bottle of champagne across its bow as it was launched into the Thames River at Groton, Connecticut. Commissioned on September 30, 1954, it first ran under nuclear power on the morning of January 17, 1955.
Much larger than the diesel-electric submarines that preceded it, the Nautilusstretched 319 feet and displaced 3,180 tons. It could remain submerged for almost unlimited periods because its atomic engine needed no air and only a very small quantity of nuclear fuel. The uranium-powered nuclear reactor produced steam that drove propulsion turbines, allowing the Nautilus to travel underwater at speeds in excess of 20 knots.
