Summer Nighttime Family Activities
Outdoor fun doesn't need to end when the sun goes down. Luckily, there are plenty of glowing nighttime games and activities that are just as fun for adults as they are for kids. So this summer, get your glow on with your own (totally kid-approved) backyard party/picnic/campout/rave. Here are all the summer-night activities you could ask for.
Flashlight tag This combination of hide-and-seek and tag is a classic summer tradition that kids will love. If you live in a neighborhood with other families, invite them over to your backyard for a BYOF (bring your own flashlight) party — the more the merrier! Last one to be found wins (and gets bragging rights until the next round of flashlight tag). Glowing dance party Gather up a few very important materials — black lights, fun tunes, the aforementioned face paint and lots of glow sticks. Then get the party started and dance like no one's watching. (Major caveat here: If your child records you on their phone, they may have a pretty good blackmail video.) Glow-in-the-dark bowling Who needs bowling alleys when you've got glow sticks and water bottles? Recycle your plastic water bottles in the most fun way possible by filling each with a different colored glow stick. Then grab basketballs or soccer balls and use them as bowling balls to (hopefully) get plenty of strikes and spares. Water wars When the temperature inevitably gets unbearably hot this summer, there's only one solution: Throw on your bathing suits, fill up a whole bunch of water balloons and have an epic battle of water wars. Whoever drenches their opponent the most wins — but the losing player gets to cool off, so really everyone's a winner here. Family fireside time Sometimes, the best family activities are the quiet, relaxing ones. Make a campfire in your backyard (don't forget the s'mores fixings) and spend some quality time together sharing stories, playing your favorite card or board game and just enjoying each other's company.

Book review
The Frozen Hours book by Jeff Shaara review by Katy Albanese
In his previous books, author Jeff Shaara tackled the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World Wars I and II. Now he takes on the Korean War and tells
the story of American Marines who were surrounded by the Chinese in northern Korea. In the Battle of Chosin Resevoir, the soldiers endured below-zero temperatures, frostbite, starvation and annihilation.
Shaara tells the story of this confrontation from many points of view- Douglas MacArthur, the supreme commander who is stationed in Japan, Oliver Smith, the command officer of the Marines, Pete Riley-a Marine private who is fighting for his life at Chosin, Sung Shi-Lin-the Chinese commander who leads his troops against the Americans in northern Korea. Each of these men makes decisions which affect the outcome of this battle.
The author does an excellent job explaining the motives and actions that led to one of the deadliest of all military battles. From Supreme Commander Douglas MacArthur down to Marine Private Peter Riley, we learn about the bravery, sacrifice, egotism, and bad decisions that played a part in this war.
Forget the dry reading in high school and college; history has never been so interesting.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - June 1
CNN launches 1980
On this day in 1980, CNN (Cable News Network), the world’s first 24-hour television news network, makes its debut. The network signed on at 6 p.m. EST from its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, with a lead story about the attempted assassination of civil rights leader Vernon Jordan. CNN went on to change the notion that news could only be reported at fixed times throughout the day. At the time of CNN’s launch, TV news was dominated by three major networks–ABC, CBS and NBC–and their nightly 30-minute broadcasts. Initially available in less than two million U.S. homes, today CNN is seen in more than 89 million American households and over 160 million homes internationally.
CNN was the brainchild of Robert “Ted” Turner, a colorful, outspoken businessman dubbed the “Mouth of the South.” Turner was born on November 19, 1938, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and as a child moved with his family to Georgia, where his father ran a successful billboard advertising company. After his father committed suicide in 1963, Turner took over the business and expanded it. In 1970, he bought a failing Atlanta TV station that broadcast old movies and network reruns and within a few years Turner had transformed it into a “superstation,” a concept he pioneered, in which the station was beamed by satellite into homes across the country. Turner later bought the Atlanta Braves baseball team and the Atlanta Hawks basketball team and aired their games on his network, TBS (Turner Broadcasting System). In 1977, Turner gained international fame when he sailed his yacht to victory in the prestigious America’s Cup race.
In its first years of operation, CNN lost money and was ridiculed as the Chicken Noodle Network. However, Turner continued to invest in building up the network’s news bureaus around the world and in 1983, he bought Satellite News Channel, owned in part by ABC, and thereby eliminated CNN’s main competitor. CNN eventually came to be known for covering live events around the world as they happened, often beating the major networks to the punch. The network gained significant traction with its live coverage of the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and the network’s audience grew along with the increasing popularity of cable television during the 1990s.

Music Monday at Dansbury Depot
Doc Pappalardo was suckled by Pennsylvania Dutch wolves and rescued by itinerant Sicilian Stone-cutters who settled on the banks of the Delaware River. Doc was raised up there in the wilds of Shawnee-on- Delaware, home to a ridiculous number of famous people, including Jackie Gleason and Mr. Green Jeans, whose bass still travels with the band. Doc fondly remembers listening to the Grand Old Opry on his Grandmother’s gigantic Philco radio in his formative days, when everybody else was listening to do-wop and top forty hits. Multi-instrumentalists, The Renegade Ramblers are a loose tribe of musicians who delight in playing blues and traditional and original bluegrass music, with brief raids into Irish and Americana music.
Tonight we welcome David Sandt, Photographer, of Star Mountain Studio, as our featured artist! David's pictures are a visual testament to the beauty of the Poconos and near-by regions. Dave has charmed many visitors with his shows and many beautiful pictures hang in a multitude of houses and businesses throughout the area. Dave will be showing and selling his beautiful pieces of art inside the depot.
