6+ families (and counting!) are participating in the First Annual Golden Angels Family Yard Sale Fundraiser this Saturday, Aug. 25 from 8am to 2pm in Hellertown! Fifty percent of all proceeds will go to the Golden Angels Relay For Life team!

The Golden Angels are a team created to honor the memory of Jackie "GOLD"feder, mother of Krissy Koch Boyle (Team Captain) and to celebrate our "ANGEL" survivor Emma German!

We are also seeking donations. If you have stuff you want to get rid of, feel free to drop it off Friday, Aug. 24 from 6-9pm, or early Saturday morning!

We will be selling coffee and donuts and some cold drinks at the yard sale. The girls will be selling lemonade and baked goods! And rumor has it we may have a few baskets to raffle!

Tell EVERYONE you know about this sale! It's a chance to get rid of your junk and/or come buy ours. With all these families participating there's sure to be something for everyone!

To ask questions or share information, visit the public Facebook page for the fundraiser.

Its true aluminum is not magnetic in the traditional sense. What you may not be familiar with is…Read More Lenz’s Law. (Physics/Engineering) Using an electromagnet fed with AC, you can induce eddy currents in the aluminum. This will cause the aluminum to repel the electromagnet and bump off the conveyor to the appropriate bucket. A similar concept is used for the high speed levitating trains in other countries.

Your…Read More Niemöller quote is often used to show how being silenced, usually through fear, will eventually play out. Today it may read: They came for the: 1) Christians (not endorsing homosexual marriage, abortion, or contraceptives) 2) Conservatives (having the audacity to desire a budget, reasonable taxation, and a Constitutional government) 3) People who post on Patch, and similar sites, having opinions with which others disagree, prompting name calling and ridiculing of the opinion writer. Andrew's piece is his expression of his government. Should events keep unraveling, though, I don't think he will have anyone for which to vote in upcoming elections.

Allan, I agree with what you've said, religion in general and Christians in particular have been…Read More targeted and compromised, conservatives are the target du jour for the IRS, anyone wanting a Constitutional government is on the possible terrorist list, voicing an opinion contrary to the state's views is now considered treason. Finding that you have no one to vote for comes on the road to enlightenment, that there is no practical difference in politics between Republicans and Democrats in the things that matter, namely The Rule of Law and prosecuting fraud and corruption. Speaking of which, one area that Andrew left out that has, IMO, contributed significantly to anti-US feeling is the financial frauds and shenanigans invented and used by Wall Street and the US too-big-too-fail, too-rich-to-jail bankers and financial manipulators. Talk about an evil empire! They make a billion, and thousands die of starvation. They make a trillion, and a million get foreclosed on. And, more often than not, they rewrite the laws to make what used to be considered fraudulent and immoral, legal and GAAP.

In the perfect world of Joel Katz, the United States would have one political party. Republicans…Read More (hypocrites or not) would be damned. Must everything be seen through the lens of political party? Isn't it possible that, no matter who is in office, breaches of power exist and mistakes are made? Our Republic is based on laws. Why? Because the natural tendency of people is to act with self in mind, many times ignoring how our actions may affect others. As I've said many times, if people ignore speed limit signs on I78, why would those same people abide by some Constitution prohibiting searches without warrant? I agree with Joel about protecting our citizens by "abridging civil liberties". However, the NSA, FBI and CIA have, with the new digital technology, surveillance powers over our own citizens that the Stasi – the secret police in the former "democratic republic" of East Germany – could scarcely have dreamed of. Let's put this in perspective. Democrat, Republican, or other party affiliation does not guarantee our rights as citizens will be protected. This is a matter of responsibility of those elected to abide by our laws. Welcome to the Internet world of data warehousing, Joel. Because we've used certain key words, our posts are now being stored in the NSA Data center in Utah.

To be clear, I don't countenance the government reading our emails or listening in to our telephone calls without a warrant. Otherwise, I don't see that tracking communications (without reference to content) is so severe a violation of our civil rights that we should sacrifice our safety by banning it.

I do sympathize with this letter to the editor, however, a "do not enter" sign is exactly…Read More that, whether you are accessing businesses beyond that sign or not. Nobody goes the wrong way on Clarke Street just because they want to go to CVS; the same is true here. As someone who lives in this immediate area and who uses Hess Avenue daily to access his home, I do however understand the writer's frustration with the new traffic patterns that have been forcibly imposed on Hellertown's north end. However, I've had too many close calls at the barricades at the end of Hess Avenue to sympathize any longer. The road from Main Street to Oak Alley is one way west, there are a large "do not enter" sign, two "road closed" signs and two "one way" signs correctly stating this in that area; the same is also true for Roth Avenue. I realize the gas station and garage being there pose a problem, but it is breaking the law. I live right near the barricades and never have a reason to go around them. Do the right thing - go around to High Street, sit in traffic with everyone else, and access the businesses at the end of Hess Avenue that way. I don't like it either, but it's just how it is now. And a warning to all reading this article - MANY residents of Hess Avenue and the surrounding streets have complained about motorists' blatant disregard for these "one-way" barricades, and police have agreed to be stationed at the ends of Hess and Roth Avenues much more often going forward.

These are the Silvex Rd between Wendy's + Turkey Hill and the stretch of Main St northbound between Cherry Ln + the 78 eastbound ramp. If these 2 areas were made available for travel, it would help reduce the congestion. Cars could then leave the Park + Ride and turn directly onto Main St . This would also make it easier for them to go straight onto the westbound ramp. At the other area, if a right turn only lane was made available from Cherry Ln to the eastbound ramp, it would eliminate some congestion.
