Kids love bubbles! Don't be afraid of the mess, this fantabulous bubble snake maker is an easy
activity idea for kids, turning trash into treasure.
What you need:
 1 x 500ml water bottle
 1 x old wash cloth
 1 x rubber band
 scissors
 water
 a few drops of dishwashing liquid
Cut off the bottom of the water bottle. Use scissors or a Stanley Knife (an adult should do this part).
Now place your bottle onto the wash cloth and use it to trace out a circle that is about 2.5cm bigger than the base of the bottle.
Cut that circle out of the wash cloth.
Place it over the open end of the bottle and secure it with a rubber band.
Your bubble blower is now ready to load!
Put some water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid into a small dish or bowl. Dip the wash cloth end of the bubble blower into the
soapy water.
Blow into the other end. Keep blowing. You'll soon see a long snake of bubbles coming out the other end.
Hours of messy outdoor fun!

Due to the rain on Saturday July 4th. , Fun Day was held on Sunday July
5th. Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day for Fun Day, the weather was
perfect. Many Towamensing Trails residents and vacationers came out and
enjoyed the event. New this year was the bike parade, which started the
event. The bike parade turned out to be a Big success. Next, Deacon John
Thompson, Pat Craig, the Boy Scouts and the American Legion Post met at
the Memorial where Deacon Thompson and Pat Craig said a few words.
There was great music by Towamensing Trails DJ. Cindy, lawn and carnival

A Labor Day story….
The Molly McGuire's: Fact or Fiction?
The Molly McGuire's’ name came
from a widow who would not leave
her cottage in Ireland when Protestant
Irish, English, Welsh, or Scottish attempted to remove her for her Catholicism. With the potato famines of
the 1840s and being persecuted for
their religious beliefs, the Irish Catholics fled for America.
The Molly McGuire's were the first to
join and work in the Pennsylvania coal
regions and their work force was
poorly organized. There were no child
labor laws, no minimum wage, or suitable working conditions. The men
would worked long hours along with
the sons from sunrise to sunset. At the
end of the work week they would
stand in line to be paid. Their pay was
based on hours worked and minus the
cost of tools broken used for mining.
Submitted By: Pat McElroy
The miners would leave in the red. To
better regulate working conditions,
The General Council of the Workingmen’s Associations of the Anthracite
Coal Fields was founded on March 17,
1869.
Long before this organization came
into existence, the Molly Maguire's
were an active labor force, but they
were lacking focused goals for the
working class. They did intimidate, beat,
and often murder mine owners, supervisors of
the coal mines, police, and anyone who spoke
out against them or did they? The offenders were held at the Carbon County
Jail.
1. School zones typically range between 15 and 25 mph. Abide by the
limits and look out for pedestrians,
keeping your foot on the brake.
2. Never pass a stopped bus displaying
a stop sign to its left; that's a signal
that children are crossing the street.
3. Yield when school buses are attempting to merge, and maintain a
Alexander Campbell, a "Molly
Maguire" was found guilty and hung
in 1877. To prove his innocence, he
stated that his hand print on the prison wall would stay forever. Legend
has it that despite many attempts to
remove it, including building a new
wall, the handprint still remains today…guilty or innocent??
The Carbon County Historic Jail is
located in Jim Thorpe, PA and it was
built in 1869-1870. The suspected
"Molly Maguire's" were imprisoned
Back to School Driving Safety
With summer vacations wrapping up
and traffic increasing as people go
back to work and back to school, September means different driving patterns and rules of the road.

significant distance behind them, as
they often make unexpected stops.
4. Make sure children know to walk in
front of - never in back of - buses.
5. Completely stop at stop signs and
look for other drivers and pedestrians
before you cross. Remember to be a
good pedestrian -- cross at corners/
marked crosswalks and in clear view,
never between parked cars
6. When dropping kids off, remember
that curbs are reserved for buses and
emergency vehicles, so you shouldn't
loiter. If you need a few extra minutes
during the drop-off, turn on your hazard lights.

Some of the variables that may affect
safe driving, like the weather, can't be
controlled. However, by staying alert,
taking precautions, and following safe
driving tips you can avoid potential car
accidents and tickets.

Take a Train/Bike Ride Before the Summer Slides By!
If you are looking for a fun outdoor
trip try the scenic Train/Bike trail
adventure located in Jim Thorpe.
You can step back in time and enjoy a
relaxing 25 mile train ride up the
Lehigh Gorge then bike your way
back down to Jim Thorpe and at your
own pace.
The train crew will load your bike
onto the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway. Then just hop on the train, sit
back, relax and off you go to enjoy the
stunning scenery as the train rides
along the Leigh Valley towards the
Lehigh Gorge State Park. The ride
takes approximately one hour as it
travels to the village of White Haven.
Here you, your bike and fellow riders
are dropped off at the Lehigh Gorge
trailhead. There are several nice eater-
ies in the town of White Haven or
pack your own lunch and relax and
take in the sights before beginning
your bike ride back. During your trip
you will encounter several beautiful
waterfalls and perhaps white water
rafters along the sparkling Lehigh River. There are also scenic overlooks
and swim areas. There are plenty of
photo opportunities so bring your
camera! It’s a great way to spend time
with family and friends while getting
some enjoyable exercise.
Upcoming trip dates – August 22nd &
23rd – 9am or 12pm and September
19th & 20th 9am or 12pm
If you do not have your own bike
there are Trek bicycles available for
rent. The cost for the train is $21.99
Raptor’s On The Move
Mid September through November is
prime time in PA to see migrating
raptors. There are too many to mention them all, but some of the choice
ones are the Bald and Golden Eagles,
Peregrine Falcons, American Kestrels
and various types of hawks. Nothing
is more awe inspiring than seeing one
of these soaring beauties! Soaring
birds use updrafts and thermals to
help them on their long journey, and
there are some prime viewing locations not far from us. Once you sit
atop a mountain with one of the official bird “counters”, you will soon
learn how to identify the different
species.
One of the best places is Hawk Mountain in Kempton: about one (1) hour
west of Towamensing Trails. They
have several lookouts and even have
one that is wheelchair accessible. To
get to the north lookout is quite a
hike, but once you reach it, you will
per person with your own bike and
$39.99 per person with a bike rental.
Advance tickets and reservations are
required and can be made by calling
Pocono Biking at 570-325-3654.
Submitted By: Betty Hollingsworth
not be disappointed! There are other
hiking trails and plenty of other birds
to see too. Right down in Slatington is
the Lehigh Gap Nature Center and
Bake Oven Knob. Again, to get to the
main lookout requires some hiking
over rocky terrain, but the view from
the top is indescribable! Close too, is
the top of Camelback Mountain.
Though there are no professionals
there to tell you what you are seeing, it
is still a great place to view birds and
enjoy the sunset.
Various environmental centers offer
guided bird trips too. Kettle Creek
(Tannersville), Pocono Environmental
Center (Dingmans’s Ferry) and Hauser
Nature Conservancy (Long Pond…
hoping to expand their programs).
Some great web sites for more information are:
Birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/
studying/migration and
visitPA.com/wildlife-viewing
So take your binoculars and get out
there to see some raptors, or just to
get out into nature for the day! Just
remember: LEAVE NO TRACE and
take only pictures/Kill nothing but
time/leave nothing but footprints!

Fighting Goliath
TRAILS TOPICS
Submitted By: Colleen Mack
As I get older the words wasted on my youth come to light. I get it now. I see Goliath in his many shapes and forms in our lives, but
the one that sits heavily on my heart is drug addiction and for me it correlates this story directly to the circumstance. Don't ask me
why the drug epidemic (especially Heroin) in this country is not in the newspapers everyday or why we are not all working on the
problem that steals the life of our loved ones and crushes all in its wake. If you are ignorant to the problem let me inform you of a few
facts. The heroin crisis is directly linked to painkillers such as OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin. Drug dealers come both with and
without prescription pads; a fact that is underlined by The National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIH) who correlates the 207 million
opioid prescriptions written to the resultant 2.1 million people in the United States suffering from substance abuse. For many of
us, these prescriptions are found in our medicine cabinets and unintentionally end up in the hands of the young. According to the
CDC (Centers for Disease Control) 80 percent of heroin addicts began with an addiction to painkillers. The Center for Rural Pennsylvania reports that 34,000 people ages 12-17 try heroin annually in PA- thrusting us as a state from 14th place in the country to that of
7th place in the nation with regards to the death toll due to drug overdose. Each day 100 people (of all ages) die in the U.S. of a drug
overdose.
For those of you involved in the fight, you are not alone. Resources can be found at https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/ - enter your
zip code and click “Go” to locate state funded programs in your area and additional resources. Do your homework early, as the demands for beds are great and funding, the number of beds available and/or length of stay can be few. If you have no insurance consider the following little or no cost options: 1) County funded programs. 2) Christian programs such as “Christian Love Ministries” (http://www.christianloveministries.us/contact-us.html) or Teen Challenge (http://teenchallengeusa.com/centers) who also
assists men and woman 18+.
For those of you lucky enough to have a PPO health insurance plan with out of network behavioral health benefits your options in
terms of length of treatment and the facilities open to you are greater as is quicker if not near immediate placement for your loved
one.
You can also purchase private PPO insurance from a well known insurance provider at an average cost around $430.00 a month to get
them into treatment. Just make sure it includes behavioral health substance abuse coverage, preferably with an out of network benefit.
The average length of detox is 5-10 days and drug rehabilitation is 28. Intensive outpatient treatment is also available and can last up
to 90 days depending upon your insurance selection. Not a bad price for a few months of insurance if you consider that the cost of
treatment in a private facility is upward of 25K for each of these treatment modalities. If you choose the latter, please remember that
you must purchase the insurance by the 15th of the current month in order for it to become effective the 1st of the upcoming month,
otherwise you will wait 1.5 months for an effective date.
The story of David and Goliath speaks to us about facing and overcoming what can seem an invincible evil. Unlike the others quaking
in their boots and fearful of great loss, David looked at Goliath from God’s perspective and defeated the monster with the tools already placed in his hands. So don’t worry about wearing a king’s armor to ward off the ridicule of those around you. Use the gifts
placed in your hands and the people God sets before you to lend you a hand.
Lastly, a prayer. This is a prayer I will ask for ones who cannot ask for themselves. I help people get their loved ones into a rehab and
get some real help, but sometimes I guess I lack the words to help the loved ones understand how serious the problem is or what real
help looks like. Please pray the pregnant mother is safe and commits to treatment. Please help the Dad understand that he cannot give
the daughter what she so desperately needs and that breaking her from her immediate surroundings will help her break free. Please
bless the principal that works so desperately to save another's child. Please bring the lost nephew home to the people who truly love
him and want to help. Please wrap your arms around and comfort those grieving the life lost, but most of all please pray for this crisis
to end and please give the drug dealers a clear vision of what they are doing and make them stop! I ask these things in Jesus name,
Amen.
When we pray, God hears more than we pray, answers more than we ask and gives more than we imagine….
In HIS own time and in HIS own way. (author unknown)

Parker Wyatt son of Samantha Ludlow was born on
June 02, 2015 weighing 7 pounds 1 ounce. He is the
first grandson of Sondra, Towamensing Trails
Office Staff.
It’s always a Welcoming, Humble and
Pleasant feeling you encounter when you
walk into the TLTC clubhouse. These
feelings are not just from the many
friendships that you have made though
out the years but they are also due to a
small group of women from within the
Towamensing Trails Community led by Lynne Hall. These
women donate countless hours of their time to decorate the
TLTC club house for each and every season or holiday
within the year. So a BIG shout out to Thank all these
decorators for their time at making the TLTC club house
Beautiful !!

YO U R K I D S TO F I S H DAY
On Friday June 19th the lake was stocked with "600" fish. Three
hundred (300) Sunny and three hundred (300) Bass. With a little help
from the children within the community, they joined in and lined up
with buckets in hand to help stock the lake. It couldn't have come at a
better time for the main event which was held the next day Saturday at
the Teach your kids to fish day. Yet Mother Nature was not at her best
as only 33 children attended. All were lent a Fishing pole and given
bait. Following the main event
each child received a hot dog, a
drink and a certificate of their
achievement. The members of
the Lake Preservation committee
who made this all possible were
there to help and assist the
children in the art of catching a
fish. Thanks to all.
