The Sixth Day of Christmas......... The Feast of St Egwin of Worcester (Day 6 December 30): You say you’re not familiar with today’s saint? Chances are you aren’t—unless you’re especially informed about Benedictine bishops who established monasteries in medieval England. Born in the seventh century of royal blood, Egwin entered a monastery, and was enthusiastically received by royalty, clergy, and the people as the bishop of Worcester, England. As a bishop he was known as a protector of orphans and the widowed and a fair judge. Who could argue with that? His popularity didn’t hold up among members of the clergy, however. They saw him as overly strict, while he felt he was simply trying to correct abuses and impose appropriate disciplines. Bitter resentments arose, and Egwin made his way to Rome to present his case to Pope Constantine. The case against Egwin was examined and annulled. Upon his return to England, Egwin founded Evesham Abbey, which became one of the great Benedictine houses of medieval England. It was dedicated to Mary, who had reportedly made it known to Egwin just where a church should be built in her honor. Egwin died at the abbey on December 30, 717. Following his burial many miracles were attributed to him: The blind could see, the deaf could hear, the sick were healed. ........2018 In Review........

Book review:
The Masterpiece book by Fiona Davis, review by Judy Piper (historical fiction)
Grand Central Terminal is the “masterpiece.” Did you know that in 1928 it housed the Grand Central School of Art? In 1928, Clara Darden, an illustrator, attends the school and then becomes one of the instructors. Being a woman and an illustrator are the two hurdles she needs to
overcome. By 1931 she is a famed illustrator but disappears.
Now it is 1974 and Virginia Clay, a recently divorced mother, is looking for a job in the Grand Central Terminal. She is sent by an agency to a law firm but with no experience the lawyer directs her to the information booth. There she receives a job and begins her awakening of the greatness of the terminal during its heyday.
One day while walking around the terminal she discovers the art school and then a piece of artwork. On one side is a watercolor by Clara Darden and on the other side a painting similar to one she had seen in an auction catalog assigned to the artist Levon Zadarian. Since she was an art history major, she is intrigued by the artwork and begins to search out what information she can find about Clara.
Also during this time period, a proposal has been made to push the terminal underground and build a skyscraper. The city wants the building to be designated an historical treasure and fights the proposal all the way to the US Supreme Court.
Whose artwork is being auctioned? What happened to Clara? And what role does Mr. Lorette the former head of the art school have to do with all of this? If you are interested in the buildings in New York City and the fight to retain their character as well having an entertaining story, you will enjoy this book. And if you have not read her previous book, The Address, try that one as well for it is about the Dakota House, the home of John Lennon.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - December 30
USSR established 1922
In post-revolutionary Russia, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) is established, comprising a confederation of Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine, and the Transcaucasian Federation (divided in 1936 into the Georgian, Azerbaijan, and Armenian republics). Also known as the Soviet Union, the new communist state was the successor to the Russian Empire and the first country in the world to be based on Marxist socialism.
During the Russian Revolution of 1917 and subsequent three-year Russian Civil War, the Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin dominated the soviet forces, a coalition of workers’ and soldiers’ committees that called for the establishment of a socialist state in the former Russian Empire. In the USSR, all levels of government were controlled by the Communist Party, and the party’s politburo, with its increasingly powerful general secretary, effectively ruled the country. Soviet industry was owned and managed by the state, and agricultural land was divided into state-run collective farms.
In the decades after it was established, the Russian-dominated Soviet Union grew into one of the world’s most powerful and influential states and eventually encompassed 15 republics–Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Belorussia, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. In 1991, the Soviet Union was dissolved following the collapse of its communist government.

Eagle Cam......
The Live-streamed Eagle cam from Hanover Pa. is back for its fifth year. Sightings have already been recorded. They are currently in their nest-building phase. Eggs are likely to be laid in mid to late February. Incubation time is about 35 days, meaning the eggs would likely hatch some time in late march. Click on the graphic above to see the nest.

FUNDING FOR LAKE MINSI, BEAR SWAMP PARK
Lamont McClure and the Department of Parks & Recreation are pleased to announce the awarding of $275,000 in grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources (DCNR).
“The future of Northampton County is green,” says Lamont McClure. “It is important that we act now to preserve our open spaces and natural land. These grants will help ensure that our parks will be around for future generations to enjoy.”
One grant, for $75,000, will be used to prepare a Greenway and Stewardship Plan for Minsi Lake Park, Bear Swamp Park and Tott’s Gap Corridor. All three sites are located in Upper Mount Bethel Township.
The other grant, for $200,000, will be used for improvements to Minsi Lake Park. In March 2018, Northampton County Council released $500,000 as matching funds for grants from DCNR and other organizations. Combined with state funds of $4,000,000, the money will be used for dam structure improvements and rejuvenation of the surrounding park lands.
Minsi Lake is one of only two public lakes in Northampton County. It was built by the PA Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) in 1970 for public recreation, and consists of a 117-acre lake maintained by PFCB, and 194 acres of surrounding parkland which is leased by the County.
When completed, improvements to the site will include a fishing pier, kayak launch, hiking trails, picnic areas and restrooms. In-lake habitats for fish and turtles are also being constructed with donations raised by Friends of Minsi Lake (FOML), a 501c3 organization. After the PA Department of Environmental Protection deemed the dam structurally deficient, the lake was drained in the spring of 2017 with over 5,000 pounds of fish relocated elsewhere. The dam project is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2019 with a new spillway which can better withstand a maximum flood event. Lake Minsi’s east shore is currently open to the public for hiking, birdwatching and other recreational activities

WNV Positive Tests Up 500%
Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), has released the final counts for their surveys of West Nile Virus (WNV). With the wet weather, 2018 was one of the worst years to date for mosquitoes carrying the virus.
A sampling of Northampton County mosquito pools turned up 83 positive results compared to only 18 reported in 2016. “We take any threat to public health seriously,” says County Executive Lamont McClure. “Northampton County is committed to preventing the transmission of West Nile Virus to humans..."
Across Pennsylvania in 2018, there were 115 human cases of WNV recorded, with 8 deaths. The DEP reported a total of 107 avian (bird) cases and 108 veterinary cases of the virus. No human, avian or veterinary cases of WNV were reported in Northampton County. WNV was first detected in the U.S. in 1999 and affects birds, humans, horses and other mammals.
In humans, 80% of the cases are show no symptoms and 20% involve non-neuroinvasive illness. Less than 1% of cases result in conditions such as encephalitis which can cause paralysis and even death. There were nationwide epidemics of the virus in 2003 and 2012.
Adult mosquito surveys are conducted from May through October, testing them for mosquito-borne diseases. Field Techs focus first on standing water, where mosquitoes lay their eggs, taking samples to test for the presence of the virus. Spraying does not take place until an action threshold, a high enough percentage of positive mosquitoes indicating a threat of humans, is reached. This August, high numbers of positives were detected in the Lehigh Valley so spraying began in hot spots.
Homeowners should drain any source of standing water on their property, including turning over buckets and pools and tossing unnecessary items and trash. Toys, pots, cans, tire swings and plugged gutters make for excellent mosquito breeding habitats. Mosquitoes can breed in as small a space as a soda bottle cap.
nominations for the 1885 club
1885 Club Accepting Nominations
The Bangor Area High School Alumni Association is looking for nominations for induction into the 2019 "1885 Club Hall of Fame." In 1998, the members of the Bangor Area High School Alumni Association began to search for a way to honor graduates who have distinguished themselves through public service, scholarship, and recognition in their chosen fields of work.
Discussions naturally led to creating a Hall of Fame for such individuals. Concerned about possible confusion with the Athletic Hall of Fame, however, the committee began to seek ways to create a different type of recognition with its own unique distinction. From this collaboration, "The 1885 Club" was born. Named in honor of the first year in which a class of students graduated from Bangor High School, this exclusive club honors distinguished alumni and holds these individuals as outstanding examples for others to follow. Through the creation of "The 1885 Club" the Alumni Association underscores and upholds the fact that graduates of Bangor Area High School have been making tremendous contributions to mankind for more than 133 years. We reserve a special category for educators and administrators who have served the Bangor Area School District over its long history.
To nominate someone for either of these awards, please go to the Bangor Area School District web site, bangorslaters.com, click on the Alumni icon (under Quick Links) and then click on the 1885 Club. There you will find a printable form. The form must be filled out completely for your nominee to be considered. Mail the completed form to the address shown or forward it to Carole J. Hontz at Bangor Area High School, 187 Five Points Richmond Road, Bangor, PA 18013-5224. Nominations can also be e mailed to hontzc@bangorsd.org
