December 2020 with her family by her side after a courageous battle against pancreatic cancer. Karen was born on 25 September 1953 in Allentown, Pennsylvania to the late Bridget and Rollin Hannis. Karen graduated from Central Catholic High School in Allentown in 1971. She met her future husband, Richard, at a dance while he was a student at a nearby university. They married in 1975, and together they traveled the world with the US Air Force, living in Arkansas, the Azores, Delaware, Texas, Germany, Rhode Island, and Virginia. They settled in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where they built a warm and welcoming home in which to grow old together and filled it with art from their family's adventures together. Karen worked as an administrator and human resources professional with the US Government and retired from federal service in 2016. She is survived and lovingly remembered by her husband of 45 years, Richard Meinhart of Carlisle; her daughter, Lauren Meinhart of Oslo, Norway; her son, David Meinhart, of Philadelphia; and five siblings: Jeanine Johnson of Emmaus, Sheila Mangano of Clifton, Virginia, Steven Hannis of Easton, Brian Hannis of Naples, Florida, and Kelly Cuetara of Downingtown.

24-year-old motorcyclist dies after Bethlehem Township crash, authorities say - lehighvalleylive.com

Caton was headed east on Freemansburg Avenue approaching Second Street, Powell said. A dump truck being driven by a 37-year-old Allentown man was headed north on Second Street, proceeded to turn left, onto Freemansburg Avenue west. The front of the motorcycle then collided into the driver’s side of the truck, Powell said.Witnesses found Caton lying in the road. He was later taken by ambulance to the hospital. About a half dozen people Monday evening gathered at the intersection, where a memorial with flowers and several candles were set up in tribute. A memorial is set up Monday, Sept. 9, 2019 in tribute of Kyle Caton, 24, of Florida. Freemansburg Avenue was closed in both directions for about four hours and re-opened around 6:30 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., a tow truck was seen hauling away the motorcycle.The bustling corridor was the scene of a pedestrian accident last week.A 4-year-old boy was struck Thursday morning in a crosswalk as he attempted to cross Freemansburg Avenue at Wagner Drive with his family. A male driver of a silver Honda HR-V was heading south on Wagner Drive and attempted to turn left onto Freemansburg Avenue, heading east, Powell had said. As the driver was crossing, he struck the boy, who was in the crosswalk heading from a housing development on Wagner Drive to the other side, in the area of a CVS store, Powell said.

Burn-causing invasive plant spotted in the Lehigh Valley

Queen Anne's Lace, a toxic plant also part of the carrot family. Though no one can pinpoint the exact date of the plant's arrival to the Allentown area, Niesenbaum said similar non-native plants like wild parsnip appeared in the mid-20th century. And given that the plant isn't in Muhlenberg's plant records, he estimates the giant hogweed was introduced here in the last 10 to 20 years, with a "rapid expansion" within the last two to five years. It's been spotted along the bank of the Little Lehigh Creek near Allentown's Cedar Beach Park and several other places in the region. Pennsylvania residents, however, need not worry about brushing against the plant. Simply touching the giant hogweed's leaves or flowers won't cause blisters, scars or blindness, Niesenbaum said. It's the sap, he said, that people need to be vigilant of. The sap contains furanocoumarins, chemical compounds that when exposed to ultraviolet radiation cause crosslinking within human DNA. This phenomenon, he said, is what kills your cells and results in "what is essentially" a severe burn. Whereas plants like poison can cause dermatitis or a rash, giant hogweed can cause an actual burn, making it deadlier than other plants in its family. The plant's toxic sap, Niesenbaum said, is what makes removal so difficult. Whereas pesky weeds in patio cracks can be removed by hand or with a garden tool, people need to be more careful when dealing with giant hogweed. "If I'm in there really grabbing at that giant hogweed and ripping at it, I want to make sure I have gloves and long sleeves and long pants and maybe even a cover on my face," Niesenbaum said. "Once you start tearing a plant open, that's where problems arise." An invasive force Niesenbaum said he considers giant hogweed one of the most "troubling" invasive plants in the area. Its beha...

Love and flowers; perfect match for Hill urban pioneer

Yet when it was time to go to college, she couldn’t wait to flee. She attended Muhlenberg College in Allentown, majoring in communications and comparative world literature. For nearly a decade afterwards she toiled as a writer in corporate jobs. “I dreamed of wearing high heels and suits for some reason,” she said.Then when the grind soured, she yearned to get her “hands in the dirt.” She began volunteering at the Weavers Way farm near Awbury Arboretum in Germantown. She became a ”farm groupie” who would rush home to work in the fields until the sun went down. She convinced Weavers Way farm staff to grow flowers and sell their yields at the Headhouse Farmers Market in Center City. She also dreamed of beginning her own flower farm and enrolled in a two-year program at Longwood Gardens to study “the science of flowers.”In 2009, the year she collected her first yield, she was hired to create flower bouquets and arrangements for her first wedding. By 2015, she was booking 40 to 50 weddings per season and was touted in Martha Stewart Weddings as among the nation’s top floral designers. Demand for her services grew, and at one point she contracted to handle 75 weddings per season but found that number stretched her seasonal staff of six too far.“That was too much to manage,” she said. “Now we focus more on quality than quantity.”For her wedding designs she uses only in-season flowers grown on her farm. You won’t find roses and gardenias, constants in wedding bouquets, in Love’s arrangements because they don’t grow well in Philadelphia’s humidity and heat. Her bouquets and centerpieces reflect what’s being harvested at the moment.Love writes joyfully about flowers on her website, penning lines like “I fall head over heels for each new bloom that comes into season in the fields” and “Floral design makes my heart sing. I dream about it at night.”By 2015, Love was booking 40 to 50 weddings per season and was touted in Martha Stewart Weddings as among the nation’s top floral designers. (This bride is holding one of Love’s bouquets.)But on this chilly gray March day at the farm, which is home to two stray felines named Leo and Tigre, Love gets most animated when she talks about succeeding at running a “profitable, sustainable” business and helping other women floral entrepreneurs to succeed. Profitability, she says, is at the root of running her farm; otherwise, it isn’t sustainable.“You have to go past the pretty thing and go for the practical thing to make money,” said Love, who is also the current vice president of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers. “It’s a constant puzzle.”She eschews buying flowers that aren’t locally grown, comparing them to “strawberries in February.” She laments the ecological tax that the international flower industry imposes on local economies, what she calls “the sins of the global flower industry.” In a long blog post at LovenFreshFlowers.com, she points out that chemicals, water demands, low wages and shipping all place burdens on land and communities.“The international transit process also creates heaps of trash,” she writes on the blog. “The flowers for a single FTD bouquet c...
