The Slate Belt Branch of the Greater Valley YMCA plans to begin construction on a heated indoor pool, gymnasium and childcare wing in 2019. The John and Margaret Post Foundation will support the Slate Belt Expansion Project with a leadership challenge grant of $500,000. The Foundation’s gift will be used as 1:1 match for community contributions, helping to raise the additional one million dollars of funding still needed for the project. The expansion’s anticipated completion is 2020. "We know that there is a community need for a pool, gymnasium and affordable childcare in the Slate Belt region. Thanks to the Post Foundation, we are able to take steps to ensure that the promised Y additions become a reality,” said Greater Valley YMCA President/CEO David Fagerstrom. As the project moves forward, the YMCA will host a public groundbreaking ceremony, as well as a grand re-opening / ribbon cutting to highlight the new pool, gymnasium, and childcare wing. The Y’s Slate Belt Canvassing Committee is currently working to secure the rest of the necessary funding; pledging and naming opportunities are available now. To learn more about the Slate Belt Expansion Project, stop into the Branch to see the blueprints or give us a call at 610-438-6065. To donate, contact David Fagerstrom at [email protected].

Pennsylvania Joins Climate Change Coalition
Frustrated by a lack of action from the Trump administration, Gov. Tom Wolf said that Pennsylvania will join a bipartisan coalition of 24 American governors who are taking it on themselves to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to uphold the principles of the scuppered Paris climate accords. “With the federal government turning its back on science and the environment, I am proud to join with states that are leading the way towards new climate solutions, and taking concrete actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” Wolf said Wolf also rolled out a 100-point “Climate Action Plan,” that calls on elected leaders, businesses, and private citizens to come together to help reduce greenhouse emissions. By following just 15 of those recommendations, such as using renewable energy, Pennsylvania could reduce its greenhouse emissions by 21 percent by 2025, Wolf said. Wolf’s announcement comes three months after the Democratic governor signed an executive order aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent by 2025 and by 85 percent by 2050. The order also set up a “Green Government Council” ensuring that state agencies take steps to reduce their own greenhouse gas footprint. Wolf’s announcement also comes amid stepped up efforts by some legislative Republicans to highlight the views of climate change skeptics. .

One of the oldest continuous running Strawberry Festival's is celebrating 25 years. Faith church’s Strawberry Festival has been kicking-off Summer for 25 years now. Everyone in the Slate Belt knows that the summer weather won't stay around until Faith Church’s Annual Strawberry Festival is held. Now in its 25th year the Annual Strawberry Festival will finally arrive on Saturday, June 22, 2019 from 4pm to 7pm, rain or shine. Since Faith church has been making the traditional Strawberry pie for 25 years now, you might say, we know a thing or two about strawberry desserts. So to celebrate this year’s Festival the menu will also include those old time favorites like Hot Dogs, Turkey and Beef barbecue, along with a popular selection of salads, and cold drinks. Don't miss this one and taste why this Festival is in its twenty fifth (25) successful year, maybe it’s because the best Strawberries wind up in our desserts. Decide for yourself, Directions to Faith United church for this Strawberry Festival are available on the website: http://www.faithunited.net Cyndi the Syndaver comes to BAHS
Bangor High School students learn human anatomy through interacting with a synthetic cadaver during a special seminar held recently at the school. PHOTO GALLERY Sbtt Photo Jordyn Taylor
by Jordyn Taylor Students had mixed emotions when Cyndi, a synthetic cadaver, was revealed to classes at Bangor Area High School. Some were shocked and others looked on in amazement as the Syndaver was shown to the classes. The demonstration was put on by the Da Vinci Science Center and allowed students to interact with a life-like cadaver and conduct other experiments that focused on particular parts of the body. The Bangor Area School District Educational Foundation sponsored the event which ran for two days at the high school. The SynDaver featured complete and functional muscular, skeletal, circulatory, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems – all made from materials that look, feel, and respond just like live tissue, so the students could interact with different parts of the body. Evan Finkbeiner, a student at BAHS, said that he enjoyed this aspect of the demonstration. “I like feeling around inside of it [because] you get to see the organs,” he said. “Instead of just having a picture in front of you, it’s better to have a 3D model so you can really feel around and get all the information based not only off your eyes, but your hands.” Students broke into groups to perform four different experiments, one of which involved chewing pieces of bread, spitting them out, and seeing how they reacted as they would in the digestive system. Faces again showed mixed emotions, some of disgust and others of laughter, as they performed the experiments. Josh Egner, a teacher at BAHS, thought these simulations were beneficial for his students. “They are getting a hands-on experience,” he said. “They are learning about the structure and functions of the organs in the process.” The Bangor Area School District Educational Foundation is a non-profit educational organization founded in 1997. According to their website, their mission is to “support the learning of children and adults in the Bangor Area School District by funding teacher grants, student scholarships, academic awards, community events, and culturally enriching programs.” They hope to enhance the educational quality of students and improve the overall community. They also hope to do more programs like the SynDaver in the future in order to impact students who are graduating, as well as those still in high school. PUBLIC NOTICE You are invited to attend the Washington Township Supervisors Meeting scheduled for 7:00 pm on June 12, 2019 at Washington Township to discuss stormwater and the regulations for the MS-4 program as developed by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). DEP requires that municipalities adhere to specific guidelines for the management of stormwater. Municipalities are now required to obtain an MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) Permit. As part of this permit, each municipality is required to reduce the amount of pollutants found within the local watershed areas. These improvements include tree plantings, stormwater basin upgrades, and stream bank restoration. The improvements are designed to help reduce the amount of pollutants that reach the local streams, thus creating a healthier environment for the surrounding residents and wildlife. Topics to be discussed include the six general Minimum Control Measures and the Pollutant Reduction Plan. Thank you and we hope you can attend the meeting. Please RSVP via email to: Katie Purdue Township Planning & Zoning Secretary [email protected] Washington Township Municipal Meeting Room 1021 Washington Boulevard, Bangor, PA 18013
