Finding forever homes
There’s good
news and some bad news for the 160 homeless animals waiting to be adopted from
the Center for Animal Health and Welfare on Island Park Road in Williams
Township. The good news is that the animals are living in a no-kill facility where
finding forever homes for them is the goal, and while waiting for that to
happen, their human hosts do the utmost to keep them well and happy. The bad
news, according to CAHW Executive Director Kelly Bauer, is that the shelter may
have to cut back on services and the number of animals it can accept unless it
can raise $10,000 to complete repairs to its HVAC system, which crashed this
past winter. Photo: Oregano, a beautiful long hair, gets her head scratched by

’Pates, Hawks ready for big week 2 clash
Week one could have been a glorified scrimmage week for many EPC
South teams, as they took on their counterparts from the North. Bethlehem
Catholic and Freedom each had lopsided affairs in hand, as the Pates torched
East Stroudsburg North 58-0 and Becahi slammed Dieruff 48-7. As week two gets
underway, the real tests begin for many of the area teams and all eyes will be
on BASD Stadium Friday night when Freedom hosts Becahi in their annual early
season showdown. Freedom won last year’s showdown 37-20, always keeping a lead
on the Hawks, as they jumped out to a 21-0 lead and never looked back. Hawks
head coach Joe Henrich was pleased with what his team took away from their week
one victory, but knows Friday night is a different animal.
