Library Will Honor Susan Pysher
. The Blue Mountain Community Library will honor the memory of Susan K. Pysher on Sat., May 2 at 10:30 AM in the library, located at 216 S. Robinson Ave., Pen Argyl.
Susan was the original co-founder of the library, President of the board of directors, and a life-long volunteer until her passing on April 8, 2014, following a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Susan was a board member since February 1991 and enjoyed being a part of providing the Slate Belt Community with a library. As the quote on the library’s sidewalk says, the library is a necessity, not a luxury. Susan embraced this and was determined to make it happen, giving generously of her time and many talents.
The library will honor her with a plaque and will rename the young adult fiction room the “Susan K. Pysher Room.” In addition, her patron number “3” will be retired. Barry Pysher, her husband of 40 years, will attend the event. Call 610-863-3029 or visit the website at www.bmcl.org.

CONSERVATION...Use Less Water, Save More Money
(BPT) - Severe drought and water restrictions in California may be making headlines and history, but the Golden State is far from the only region in the U.S. facing a drier summer. With the Environmental Protection Agency reporting that 40 out of 50 state water managers predict shortages in their states within the next 10 years, conserving water is no longer just the fashionable thing for homeowners to do – it’s essential.
American households use an average of 100 gallons of water per person, per day, according to the EPA. High water usage doesn’t solely impact the environment either. It also directly affects homeowners’ wallets; the average household spends up to $500 a year for water and sewer, the EPA says. Conservation methods like choosing low-consumption bathroom fixtures and practicing smart watering habits outdoors can reduce the amount of water homeowners use and pay for. Californians are facing some painful conservation measures, but consuming less water doesn’t have to be onerous. This summer, you can use less water and lower your water bills by focusing on a few key areas: In the bathroom Americans use more water in the bathroom than in any other room of the house or anywhere outside it. In fact, according to the EPA, more than 43 percent of total household water consumption is due to toilets and faucets. If your bathroom fixtures are older, they’re likely less water efficient than newer models, and your household could be using even more water. Switching to WaterSense labeled products can significantly decrease water consumption. Replacing an older toilet with a WaterSense labeled one, like TOTO’s new Carlyle II 1G Toilet, can help your family realize a 71-percent water savings when replacing a 3.5 gallons per flush (gpf) unit. When replacing a 1.6 gpf model, you will gain a 38-percent savings and a 22-percent savings when replacing a 1.28 gpf toilet. Attractively styled, the Carlyle II 1G also features a SanaGloss coating that makes it easier to clean, meaning you’ll use less water and fewer harsh detergents to clean it, which is better for the planet. Faucets account for nearly 16 percent of total household water use, with the standard faucet using 2.2 gallons of water per minute. Switching to a WaterSense faucet uses less and can increase your faucet’s water efficiency by 30 percent or more. The Oberon faucet by TOTO reduces flow to just 1.5 gallons per minute without sacrificing performance or style. To learn more about TOTO products, visit www.totousa.com. In addition to replacing less efficient fixtures, you can also reduce bathroom water consumption by switching from baths (70 gallons of water) to 5-minute showers (10 to 25 gallons), and turning off the faucet while brushing your teeth (4 gallons), according to the EPA. Smarter washing The washing machine accounts for nearly 22 percent of household water use, the EPA reports. Washing dishes in an older-model dishwasher consumes up to 15 gallons of water per load, and 3 to 5 gallons in an Energy Star rated machine, according to the National Resources Defense Council. Washing by hand uses 8 to 27 gallons. Many appliances have made leaps in water and energy efficiency in just the past few years. Replacing old appliances with newer, Energy Star rated or WaterSense labeled appliances can reduce your home’s water and energy consumption. Even if your appliances are older, there are still ways to conserve energy and water. Never run the dishwasher for less than a full load, and don’t rinse dishes before loading them. Just scrape them thoroughly to remove food particles. When washing clothes, do full loads and separate lighter-weight items from heavier ones and use cold water rather than hot; most modern laundry detergents do the job just fine in cold water. Conserving outdoors Outdoor water use consumes 9 billion gallons of water per day, the EPA says. To reduce water consumption outdoors, start by choosing plants that are native to your region – they’ll be much better habituated to the environment and need less water than non-native species. Not sure what’s native to your area? PlantNative.org offers a searchable database of plants for states across the country. If you have an irrigation system, be sure it’s in good working order. Leaking irrigation systems can waste huge amounts of water. Before you water, check soil moisture in the lawn and planting beds. If you can easily insert a 6-inch screwdriver into the soil, you can probably wait to water. Water at night, when the hot sun and wind won’t evaporate the water before it can soak into the ground. Mulch around the base of trees can also help to retain moisture near the roots. For more information on water conservation and how WaterSense products and practices can help you conserve water and save money, visit www.epa.gov/watersense. Man Banned From Vending MachineBury Magistrate's Court ruled this week to slap Stansfield with a Criminal Behavioral Order banning him from using coin-operated machines, including parking meters and vending machines, until February 2020. The only exceptions to the order allow Stansfield to use a pay phone to call emergency services and use a Metrolink machine to purchase a ticket, but he must immediately move away from the machine once his ticket has been issued. The order also banned Stansfield from any airports or airport parking lots unless he can prove he is traveling. He was also banned from Trafford Center and its parking lot. "It's just weird if I'm honest, there are so many things I can't do," Stansfield told reporters after the order was issued. "If I'm at the hospital for hours for example I can't buy any food from the machines." Stansfield, who apologized for his crimes and said he committed them during a "tough time," joked the order could occasionally come in handy. "At least I have an excuse not to pay for things," he said. "I think I might be the only person in the country with this bizarre restriction, maybe even the world." Bangor Park Summer Youth Basketball Registration is currently open for the Bangor Park Youth Basketball Summer League. The league will run from the first week in June until August. Each team will play 10 regular season games plus playoffs at Bangor Memorial Park on the weekends.
There will be two divisions for both boys & girls - 5th & 6th grade and 7th & 8th grade. An all-inclusive entry fee for each team is required.

Ask The Doc........
Let's Talk Adjectives
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com Invisible, comfortable, corrective, clear, precise, inexpensive, beautifying, and empowering. I bet you rarely think of those adjectives, and dentistry in the same sentence. However, that is exactly what you get with one of dentistry’s latest tools. I’m talking about Invisalign, clear aligner therapy to place your teeth in the proper position for a life –time of good oral health. This comfortable way to align teeth is proving to be very successful, and at Family Dental Care, Dr. Gary Williams, and staff are seeing such good results, that we think it deserves special attention. We are reserving 10 spots, on April 23rd, for those interested in improving their oral health. I believe so much in this treatment, that on that day, I will “pitch-in” and pay for some of your treatment. Together, you and I can give you the smile that you have always wanted. Call soon, appointment spots are limited. (610)863-8988. Slate Belt Senior Center
