PUMP Moving to New Location A dedication for the new location of the Portland-Upper Mt Bethel Food Pantry (PUMP) will be held on Sunday, August 21 at 2:00 PM. The public is invited to attend the dedication. PUMP’s new location is at the Portland Hook & Ladder Co. William Pensyl Social Hall, 111 State Street, Portland.
Twenty-two years ago when Sherma LaBarre Godshalk felt the urge to help people needing food, she started PUMP with a few volunteers, a card table, and some donated canned vegetables from her church, Portland United Methodist. Sadly, Sherma died in April 2015, but her wish to see PUMP continue to help people in the Slatebelt area, continues. In recent months over 400 limited resource families from Bangor, East Bangor, Pen Argyl, Wind Gap, Portland, Upper Mt Bethel and Martins Creek communities, came to the pantry seeking help for themselves and their families. PUMP has outgrown its current location. The board and many volunteers have spent countless hours working on a new plan. The new location will provide larger and more efficient space, better parking, easier access to the building, more efficient storage and set-up of food items, easier unloading from the food trucks, easier access for clientele to name a few benefits. Slate Belt Regional Police Report

Going To School...
Student Backpacks Are Literally a Big Pain
If you wonder why more kids than ever before are complaining about back and neck pain -- and you should be, what with classes starting up again -- a likely reason is that they're weighed down by backpacks crammed with everything from textbooks to laptops to musical instruments.
Consider this: "The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission calculated that carrying a 12-pound backpack to and from school and lifting it 10 times a day for an entire school year puts a cumulative load on youngsters' bodies of 21,600 pounds," The New York Times reported, "or the equivalent of six mid-sized cars."
No wonder experts warn that kids are putting themselves at risk of even more serious conditions like stress fractures in the back, inflammation of growth cartilage and nerve damage in the neck and shoulders.
"Over time, the heavy weight of a backpack can cause an unnatural alignment of the spine as students are forced to offset the pressure by arching the back or bending forward at the hips," said Sherry McAllister, DC, executive vice president of the not-for-profit Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, adding that students who are already prone to slouching may experience further pain from sitting at a desk for prolonged periods.
Doctors of chiropractic, who have a minimum seven years of higher learning, specialize in providing drug-free, hands-on care that helps to naturally align and strengthen the spine. And since they also routinely advise on proper body positioning -- especially important to ensure while children are still growing -- the foundation knows from whence it speaks on these backpack-related tips:
* Limit packs to no more than 10 percent of a kid's weight.
* Packs with padded straps and multiple compartments help distribute weight.

August 21, 1863 - During the American Civil War, William Quantrill led 450 irregular Confederate raiders on a pre-dawn terrorist raid of Lawrence, Kansas, leaving 150 civilians dead, 30 wounded and much of the town a smoking ruin. In 1862, Quantrill had been denied a Confederate commission by the Confederate Secretary of War, who labeled Quantrill's notions of war as 'barbarism.'
August 21, 1959 - President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation admitting Hawaii to the Union as the 50th state. |
Outdoor Living...
Lighting Tips to Enhance Your Outdoor Living Space
(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - Summer is in full swing, but it's not too late to plan a relaxing staycation or backyard social gathering while the evenings are warm and clear. To make the most of your family and friends' time, look around your outdoor space to see if the existing lighting works properly and enhances the ambiance.
According to the American Lighting Association (ALA), a few updates to your outside lighting can make your outdoor time more enjoyable. And the best part:It does not have to be complicated or costly to transform your existing patio, deck or pool area into a lovely retreat.
"Creating a beautiful landscape doesn't have to be expensive," says Rick Wiedemer of Hinkley Lighting. "A few well-placed, low-voltage path or accent lights can make a huge impact on a well-manicured landscape." No lawn is too small. "Even modest homes or those with limited yards or gardens can benefit," he says.

"A few well-placed, low-voltage path or accent lights can make a huge impact on a well-manicured landscape." No lawn is too small. "Even modest homes or those with limited yards or gardens can benefit," he says.
A few outdoor lighting tips:
- Layer outdoor lighting. Just like indoor lighting, outdoor lighting is most effective if it utilizes overhead, task and ambient light sources. Even outdoors, where there are not typically boundaries and borders, those three layers will enhance enjoyment and help define smaller sitting and entertaining areas as though they are outdoor rooms.
- Create a safe and secure environment. Enhance security with lighting near entrances and in dark corners. Aim lights away from the door so as not to blind anyone as they enter your outdoor area.
- Reduce glare. Light walkways and paths with light that is cast downward and fixtures that are hooded. In many cases, exterior-safe dimmers and movable fixtures, which can be added to a patio or porch as needed, can provide flexible control over the level of light.
- Add decorative elements. While functionality is the top priority, aesthetic elements are important for a relaxing and inspiring setting. Focus on lighting that highlights architectural and natural details, as well as other decorative elements like arbors, pergolas, patios, etc.
- Conserve energy. Consider LEDs for their efficiency. Also think about Energy Star and Dark Sky fixtures that reduce glare and minimize light into the sky as well as neighboring yards and windows. Remember to check the color (chromaticity) of LED outdoor lights. Low chromaticity lights (2700 or 3000K) will look similar to incandescent and halogen bulbs. Higher chromaticity LEDs (4000K and above) will have a whiter, bluer look.
- Visit a nearby ALA-member retail store to see the latest outdoor lighting options to make your outdoor space a true oasis. For more, go to americanlightingassoc.com.

The public is invited to attend the dedication. PUMP’s new location is at the Portland Hook & Ladder Co. William Pensyl Social Hall, 111 State Street, Portland.
Twenty-two years ago when Sherma LaBarre Godshalk felt the urge to help people needing food, she started PUMP with a few volunteers, a card table, and some donated canned vegetables from her church, Portland United Methodist.

In recent months over 400 limited resource families from Bangor, East Bangor, Pen Argyl, Wind Gap, Portland, Upper Mt Bethel and Martins Creek communities, came to the pantry seeking help for themselves and their families. PUMP has outgrown its current location. The board and many volunteers have spent countless hours working on a new plan. The new location will provide larger and more efficient space, better parking, easier access to the building, more efficient storage and set-up of food items, easier unloading from the food trucks, easier access for clientele to name a few benefits.
