COVER STORY

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.

SPORTS

’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.
