The Delaware Valley Raptor Center, located in Milford, Pennsylvania, brought a collection of rehabilitated hawks, owls, eagles and

falcons to the Warren County Library in Blairstown on June 12th to the delight and awe of all who braved the rain to get there. The close encounter of the flying kind included the smallest falcon, a Kestrel; a Peregrine Falcon, able to reach

speeds of 200 mph; the smallest owl in the world, a Saw-whet; and a golden eagle. Stephanie and Bill Streeter, founders of the DVRC, present more than 120 showings a year to schools, camps, scouts and other groups in order to call attention to these injured and endangered species.

You may not own your own airplane, but the Runway Cafe in Blairstown has something for everyone. This family owned and operated cafe celebrated its 28th anniversary recently. Jeanne Anderson first opened the cafe on June 4th, 1984. It all began when her husband Frank, a retired Navy aircraft mechanic, bought a high wing two-seater plane. He asked Jeanne to be involved in aviation

somehow because he enjoyed it so much. Jeanne is an excellent cook and loves people, so she decided to take over the then-named Taxi Way Cafe, located right next to the Blairstown Airport. After changing the name to Runway Cafe, Jeanne began her path to the sky. The cafe serves breakfast all day, and also offers a lunch menu. Jeannes home cooking begins with fresh ingredients, including

produce reaped from her very own garden, right outside the kitchen door. It doesnt get any fresher than that! The cafe features specials Monday through Friday and has an assortment of delicious homemade desserts--Jeanne will be bakeing apple and strawberry rhubarb pies for the July 4th celebration at Footbridge Park. Customers are also welcome to dine outside at the picnic tables and watch the planes take off

and land at the airport. Jeanne says she has the greatest clientele in the world, including one of her regulars, actor Harrison Ford. Pilots fly in from all over the country to dine at the cafe. For a positive, friendly dining experience, complete with humor and great food, stop by the Runway Cafe, located at 36 Lambert Rd., and say Hello to Jeanne, her daughter Kim, and the rest of the staff. Its open seven days, 7am to 4:30pm.

The Warren County Cultural and Heritage Commission is happy to present The Feinberg Brothers Bluegrass Band in a free concert on the lawn of Shippen Manor, Sunday, June 24th at 6pm. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, alcohol free coolers, picnic baskets, and significant others for a good ol toe tapping pure bluegrass music performance in the heart of sweet and sunny downtown Oxford. The Feinberg Brothers have played at Bluegrass festivals, major market radio broadcasts, traditional country music shows, and in various clubs throughout the bluegrass world. The band includes Ron Feinberg who has appeared with Bill Monroe and claims to be

the older brother of band members Rourke and Patrick Feinberg. Each studied classical piano and violin before turning to bluegrass and masterfully playing fiddles, guitar, and mandolin. Terry McGill, on the five string banjo sings baritone, has been featured in The Banjo

Newsletter, and has been playing banjo since he was thirteen. Terry wrote a banjo instruction manual for Mel Bay Publications, and his 2001 solo recording "Straight Drive" has received airplay nationwide. Keith Edwards on bass provides an impeccable sense of timing

and has been featured on recordings alongside many famous bluegrass musicians. Together they promise to present an unforgettable and exceptional performance.

(NAPSI)The secret to reducing your monthly energy bills is following the latest tips to cut down on your households everyday consumption, according to the Department of Energy. 1. Use the latest lightbulbs. Lighting-related costs add up to about 10 percent of your electric bill. Reduce your lighting usage by up to 75 percent by using the latest lighting technologies, including compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) or light-emitting diode (LED) lightbulbs. 2. Keep the wattage low. Make sure that your lightbulbs arent a higher wattage than the listed wattage for sockets. 3. Hit the pool. Use 75

percent less wattage than incandescent pool lights with white Pentair IntelliBrite LEDs, and save up to $1,500 a year by switching from a single-speed pump to an IntelliFlo variable-speed

pump, part of the Eco Select family (www. pentairpool.com/calcula tors). 4. Install ceiling fans. Youll be able to raise the thermostat for your air conditioner about 4 degrees without compromising relief from the heat. 5. Find and plug all air leaks. Save 5 to 30 percent on energy costs by caulking or weather stripping gaps where air flows: window frames, doors, baseboards, electrical outlets, mounted air conditioners, attic doors, fireplace dampers, pipes, wires, mail slots. If you can rattle or see daylight around a door or

window, its likely leaking air. 6. Turn the water heater down. The energy used to heat your water accounts for up to 25 percent of your energy usage. Turn down the temperature on your water heater to 120 degrees. 7. Set up a programmable thermostat. Cooling and heating systems account for about 56 percent of your energy use. Set your thermostat for the morning, day, evening, overnight and vacation to control costs. 8. Replace your old cooling and heating equipment. Installing a high-efficiency air conditioner can help reduce related energy costs 20 to 50 percent. And if your forced-air furnace is more than 15 years old, consider replacing it. 9. Remember your filters. Change the filters on your forced-air furnace and airconditioning unit about every month or two and have professionals check them annually. 10. Explore your insulation. Seal any gaps around attic openings for pipes, ductwork and chimneys with expanding foam caulk or other permanent sealant. And make sure theres a vapor barrier such as a plastic sheet or specialized paint beneath insulation, including the attic door. (Sources: Department of Energy; ENERGY STAR; Pentair Aquatic Systems)

Hello fellow readers, Improving appearance and health, training the young, controlling size, preventing injury or damage, rejuvenating the old and influencing bounty. Oh my, the list is overwhelming! I am talking about the reasons to prune, although the parallel to caring for self and family is astonishing dont you think? Mike and Sue of Blairstown are in the midst of digging in a new foundation planting and asked about pruning. With proper plant selection and placement, they wont have to prune to control size for several years. Choose plants appropriate in size for the area and space to allow room to grow. It is a common mistake to

plant young plants too close to the foundation. Check out mature widths and heights of plants in plant manuals or online and space accordingly. For example, a shrub that matures to 8-10 feet high and 5-6 feet wide should be planted 5-6 feet apart from the center of the plant. For trees, spacing by half their width at maturity is a basic rule of thumb, but not a catch all, as there are many variables of objective, site conditions and growth rates. So while Mike wont have to control size for a while, he is smart to think about the other reasons to prune. Best to train while young rather than have to rejuvenate when old. Sound familiar? In general, once your plants reach the desired size you can prune the new growth every year right after bloom to maintain its size. Wish it were that easy for us! He asked for a good book on the subject and I referred him to The Pruning Book: Completely Revised and Updated, by Lee Reich. In fact, I may leaf through it for techniques on selfpruning!

John Kruk Named Warren County Board of Realtors President

The Warren County Board of Realtors is pleased to announce that Christopher John Kruk of RE/MAX House Values 4 is accepting the Presidency of the Board from Inga Maximoff of Buttzville Realty, Inc. Maximoff has been the President of the Warren County Board of Realtors for several years and has been on the Board of Directors of the New Jersey Association of Realtors since the late 1980s. I am so proud of our Board of Directors and members in Warren County. They have gone above and beyond in assisting their clients, as well as homeowners in general throughout the area, Maximoff said. The incoming President is no stranger to real estate activities in the area. John Kruk has been the Vice-President and President-Elect of the Warren County Board of Realtors, along with a member of the Board of Directors and now the Executive Committee of the New Jersey Association of Realtors. I am excited to take on the challenge of leading such a diverse group of Realtors. I also invite any homeowner in the area that has any real estate or property rights issues to call me with their concerns, John said. John can then bring your issues to the legislative affairs professionals that he works with at NJAR. At NJAR we are continually monitoring about 400 legislative bills at a time and make sure that homeowners in NJ are heard in the statehouse, John said. Inga Maximoff is going to continue on as the Immediate PastPresident of the Warren County Board of Realtors. I have seen John grow his skills over the last

several years and am looking forward to assisting him through this transition. He is consistently one of the top selling agents in the county and knows this industry inside and out, Maximoff said. Between Kruk and Maximoff, along with the rest of the professionals that make up the Warren County Board of Realtors, local residents should feel confident that no issue will go unnoticed by the Realtor community. As more legislation is written to attempt eliminating the mortgage interest deduction, or to increase the amount of eminent domain occurring, Realtors will be the ones fighting for your rights.
