Supersonic Car Aims for 1000 mph
The Bloodhound team, which is made up of Formula One and aerospace experts, said the Bloodhound SSC they officially unveiled Wednesday in London is powered by a 133,151 horsepower hybrid drivetrain that includes a Rolls-Royce EJ200 engine from a jet fighter and a Nammo rocket fed by a supercharged Jaguar V8 engine.
The team said the SSC can reach 1,000 mph in 55 seconds -- covering a mile every 3.6 seconds -- but they are first aiming to take on an 800 mph run in South Africa to break the world record of 763 mph set by the SSC's driver, Andy Green, in 1997.
The team said they are aiming to hit the 800 mph mark next year in a dry lakebed at the Hakseen Pan in South Africa, with a 1,000 mph attempt to follow in 2017.
"With the car now built and the track in South Africa prepared our focus is on racing in 2016. That part of the adventure starts with runway tests at Newquay Aerohub next Easter," project director Richard Noble said

One-Finger Climber Will Try Mt. Everest
Saturday, Nobukazu Kuriki, 33, reportedly reached the South Col on Everest, known as the death zone due to the risk of fatal altitude sickness. He plans to rest for about eight hours and make his final push to the summit for his "dream climb."
This is the fourth time he's taken on Everest, each time abandoning his trek with the summit in view. In 2012, he lost nine of his fingers to frostbite in an attempt to scale the seldom-climbed West Ridge. He said he prefers to make his dangerous climbs alone and with minimal gear.
"This is the purest form of climbing and it is worth the extra danger," he said.
The Nepal Ministry of Tourism and Aviation is celebrating Kuriki's attempt as the country struggles to prove to the world Everest is safe to climb. In April, more than 9,000 were killed in a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that rocked the country and triggered a massive avalanche that left at least 20 Everest climbers dead.
"I am climbing the mountain to stand by Nepal during this difficult time, and to spread the message that it is safe for tourism," he said
HALLOWEEN....
Beyond Trick-or-Treating
Today, Americans spend over one billion dollars visiting Halloween-themed attractions. Where are they going, and what are the best activities for your family? The experts at Hauntworld.com are offering some spooky answers in this ultimate fall to-do list.
Farm Fun
Many farms offer tons of fall activities ideal for families with young children, including picking the perfect carving pumpkin, finding your way out of a corn maze and drinking homemade apple cider. Other fun activities include pony rides, hay mazes, non-spooky hayrides, petting zoos and even shooting pumpkin cannons.
Ghost Tours
Ghost hunting television shows have really increased the popularity in finding haunts and eerie tours. Learn more about your local area’s spooky history by taking family or out of town guests to haunted mansions, cemeteries, prisons and more.
Zombie Runs
What could be scarier than a 5K run? One with zombies of course! Zombie runs are a good time for the whole family, providing a fun reason to get kids and teens moving, using obstacle courses, contests, prizes and more as incentives.
Haunted Hayrides
Hayrides can be as sophisticated as a Hollywood movie, complete with fog machines and lights. Some have even adopted new twists. For example, on a zombie paintball hayride, guests go on a high adrenaline adventure, hunting and shooting zombies with paintballs. Haunted hayrides make guests and especially smaller kids feel safe as they ride in groups.
Home Haunts
Americans are now decorating their yards and homes into spooky graveyards with high tech lights, animations and more. Some homeowners take it further by also decorating their home’s interiors and creating mazes in the garage or backyard. Finding a spooky home haunt or neighborhood near you can be a great Halloween activity to do if you’re on a budget. For tips and tricks on haunting your own house, visit www.hauntedhousesupplies.com.
Escape Rooms
Escape rooms offer an immersive and interactive experience like none other. These Halloween-themed attractions involve working together to solve puzzles and riddles in order to escape a room in under an hour.
Haunted Houses
Haunted houses come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from three-dimensional black light attractions to haunted trails to major scream parks. Haunted houses also change regularly, so it may be very different from visit to visit. Today, most haunted attractions don’t rely as much on blood and guts as they do on interactive special effects, sophisticated costumes, story lines and computer-generated imagery. To celebrate the scary side of Halloween, get the family together for an unforgettable night filled with fun and screams.
To find America’s scariest haunted houses, trickiest corn mazes, spookiest zombie runs and every pumpkin patch, ghost tour and escape room near you, you can review a comprehensive directory of these attractions at www.Hauntworld.com.
While tradition never gets old, novel Halloween activities provide different thrills than a standard trick-or-treat trip around the block.

Apple Festival at Faith Church
Pen Argyl, PA, October 2015: On Saturday October 3, 2015 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, Faith United Presbyterian Church will hold its 21st annual Apple Festival. This long running fall event has been the benefactor of one of the largest apple crops in recent memory. Our long time Slate Belt lovers of homemade apple pies and famous apple dumplings are in for a real treat because of this bountiful crop. So to celebrate this year’s Festival, the food menu will include all those old time favorites like turkey and beef barbeque, our baked beans, and the ever popular macaroni & cheese dish.
This year the Festival Committee didn’t forget any of the popular salad offerings and made sure they were on the menu. The large harvest also allows us to feature homemade apple sauce from an old and trusted Faith Church recipe that will tempt you into purchasing a bowl to taste what old time goodness is about. Don’t forget that all of the Festival’s homemade apple pies and dumplings (with or without raisins) go fast and will only be available for take out on a first come, first served basis. So get there early for the best selection. Reverend Ruth Ann Christopher added, “I particularly can’t wait to try that old time apple sauce recipe. It’s really great that there was such a large crop of apples this year so it could be made.” Join Faith Church on Saturday on October 3rd and enjoy the first fruits of this outstanding apple harvest season made into some of the finest desserts. There will be so many delicious apple offerings that you may have to visit the dessert area more than once. Remember that calories are not counted at any of Faith Church’s festivals so you can make that extra trip and enjoy dessert without guilt. Additional information and directions to the Festival is available on Faith Church’s website. www.faithunited.net.

Annual Harvest Festival
Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm celebrates their 41st Annual Harvest Festival on October 10th and 11th, 2015. This year’s theme is “Green is our Valley – Homesteading.” Many families in the United States are becoming interested in doing more for themselves. They are learning about everything from raising chickens in their backyard to tapping maple trees to make their own syrup. Everyone is interested in buying local produce or growing it on their own. Solar energy, windmills and other energy saving methods are topics of interest. People are having bee hives or using cloth napkins, dehydrating their own fruit or making a compost pile. It all sounds like the Quiet Valley way of doing things. Thinking green, being green, keeps it green. We hope with this year’s theme visitors will learn something they can take home and use that will make them a little more self-sufficient and our world a brighter shade of green.
In addition to demonstrations and displays dealing with the theme, there will be plenty of traditional skills and heritage crafts demonstrated such as spinning, weaving, broom making, scrapple making, apple butter making, basket making, candle making. There will also be plenty of folk entertainment, good country food, children’s activities, pumpkin decorating, a quilt raffle, pony rides, horse drawn wagon rides, one room schoolhouse presentation, outdoor brick bake oven and much more. The New Jersey Frontier Guard will portray French and Indian War soldiers trekking through the farm. The Civil War Encampment is always a favorite at Harvest Festival. The 142nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Co. G Re-enactors will portray the drill and everyday life of soldiers in the 19th century giving visitors a special glimpse into local history. DETAILS - Harvest Festival offers visitors of all ages two days of old-fashion fun. All funds raised will help support the mission of our nonprofit educational organization. Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm is located 3 miles south of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania off of Business Route 209. The festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 101th and 11th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine. Demonstrations are under tents. Admission is adults $10.00 & ages 3 - 12 $5.00.

BHS Author Coming to Bangor Lirary
(BELOW IS A STORY THAT APPEARED IN THIS PAPER AUGUST 4, 2015)
Bangor High graduate Karen (Shoemaker) Katchur has published The Secrets of Lake Road (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press) . Karen Katchur -- Official Author Website .
In her book, Jo has been hiding the truth about her role in her high school boyfriend’s drowning for sixteen years. Every summer, she drops her children off with her mother at the lakeside community where she spent summers growing up, but cannot bear to stay herself; everything about the lake reminds her of the guilt she feels. For her daughter Caroline, however, the lake is a precious world apart; its familiarity and sameness comforts her every year despite the changes in her life outside its bounds. At twelve years old and caught between childhood and adolescence, she longs to win her mother’s love and doesn’t understand why Jo keeps running away.
Then seven-year-old Sara Starr goes missing from the community beach. Rescue workers fail to uncover any sign of her—but instead dredge up the bones Jo hoped would never be discovered, shattering the quiet lakeside community’s tranquility. Caroline was one of the last people to see Sara alive on the beach, and feels responsible for her disappearance. She takes it upon herself to figure out what happened to the little girl. As Caroline searches for Sara, she uncovers the secrets her mother has been hiding, unraveling the very foundation of everything she knows about herself and her family in this riveting novel that is impossible to put down and hard to forget.
Karen Katchur holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from West Chester University and a Masters of Education degree in Health and Physical Education from East Stroudsburg University. She lives in Eastern Pennsylvania with her husband and two children. She enjoys running and tennis and playing with her flat coat retriever puppy, Tucker and her cat, Carly.

Technology can be wonderful!

I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
