CC Farmers Market Welcomes Laura & Theresa Zoschg
Cameron County Farmers Market
We're delighted to welcome back Laura and Theresa Zoschg for another season at the Cameron County Farmers Market!
This talented mother-daughter team has become one of our most anticipated vendors, with loyal customers often making their table one of the very first stops of the morning.
What makes Zoschg Baking special isn't just the bread—it's the care, tradition, and craftsmanship that go into every loaf. Between them, Laura and Theresa have more than 65 years of baking experience, carrying on recipes and techniques passed down through generations of family bakers. Every batch is hand mixed, kneaded, shaped, and baked the old-fashioned way.
Returning favorites this season include their popular White, Rye, High Protein, Sweet Brown, Wheat, and Sourdough breads, along with a variety of fresh rolls. But regular customers know that Laura and Theresa are always experimenting with something new, so there's usually a surprise or two waiting on the table.
In recent years they've expanded beyond breads, introducing specialty loaves, sweet rolls, artisan breads, and a growing selection of homemade baked treats. You never quite know what delicious creation they'll bring next—and that's part of the fun!
Whether you're looking for the perfect loaf to accompany dinner, a fresh roll for lunch, or a special treat for the weekend, Zoschg Baking has something worth taking home.
Be sure to stop by and see Laura and Theresa when they join us at the market 9am to 12pm, this Saturday, 13 June at the Emporium Town Square . Just follow the aroma of freshly baked bread—you won't have any trouble finding them!

ATTENTION SHIPPEN TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS
Illegal Dumping and Trespassing Must Stop
Shippen Township is experiencing a severe problem with individuals illegally entering
Township property after hours. These individuals are trespassing and dumping entire
truckloads of trash into our roll-off dumpster without paying.
Official Office Hours
The Township property is only accessible during our normal operating hours:

The Future of the Roll-Off Dumpster is at Risk

permanently.
If removed, residents will have to find alternative, costlier methods to
dispose of extra trash and large bulk items.
Regular Trash Pick-Up is NOT Affected
Please note that this issue only affects the dumpster.
Your regular weekly curbside
trash pick-up will remain exactly the same.
Regular service still includes:
Weekly pickup of up to three bags.
Bag sizes between 10 to 30 gallons.
Weight limit not to exceed 30 lbs. per bag.
Extra bags will be charged to your account at $1.50 per bag.

The Township property is under constant video surveillance.
We are actively reviewing
security camera footage.
Anyone caught trespassing or dumping illegally after hours
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Help us keep this service available for honest residents.
Report suspicious activity to
the Township office at 814-486-0727, Ext 1.

Andrew Simon Hornung
Many prayers to out to Mary, Denny and the extended Hornung family ð
Andrew Simon Hornung
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Mr. Andrew Simon Hornung, who entered into eternal rest on Saturday, June 6th, 2026, at the age of 38.
Born on March 12th, 1988, in Coudersport, Pennsylvania, Andrew was the son of Mary and Dennis Hornung.
In addition to his parents, Andrew is survived by his daughter Blakelyn Hornung, who was the light of his life. He is also survived by his siblings, Gideon Hornung (Bree), Thaddeus Hornung (Christine), Patrick Hornung (Diona), and Nathain Hornung (Jess), as well as his grandmother, Sandra Hornung.
Andrew was preceded in death by his brother, Joshua Hornung.
Andrew found joy in riding motorcycles, exploring the great outdoors, camping, and hunting. Professionally, he worked in residential construction. He had a natural talent for tinkering with motors and fixing things, always eager to learn and build. Andrew's greatest love was for his daughter, Blakelyn.
At this time, Andrew will be cremated and services will be held in Pennsylvania at a later date, where family and friends will gather to celebrate his life.
Andrew's legacy is one of love, laughter, and a spirit for adventure. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Book Release - The Shadow of the Rumspringa
ðĻ Exciting Announcement! ðĻ
I'm excited to officially announce that my second novel, The Shadow of the Rumspringa, is currently planned for publication on May 25, 2027.
Set in the quiet Appalachian Amish community of Harmony Creek, this mystery-thriller begins when a shocking death sends ripples through a close-knit community.
As questions mount and hidden truths begin to surface, long-held secrets threaten to unravel the very foundation of the town.
Blending suspense, mystery, and unexpected twists, The Shadow of the Rumspringa explores faith, family, loyalty, and the consequences of the secrets we choose to keep.
Just as I did with my first book, the manuscript will be published through Lulu and will undergo their review process before being made available to readers worldwide.
Writing this book has been an incredible journey, and I'm looking forward to sharing more updates, previews, and the official cover as we move closer to launch day.
Thank you to everyone who supported my first book and continues to support my work as an author.
Your encouragement and feedback have helped make this next chapter possible.

Rotary News - Rotarian John Rogers
Emporium Rotary Club
On June 2nd, Rotarian John Rogers brought his brother Paul Rogers to both speak about their uncle Thomas E. Rogers.
Over the years, multiple members of the Rogers family researched the history of their family member, flight officer Thomas E. Rogers.
One day, John reached out and received a letter from the grandson of the man who witnessed Thomas' P51 being shot down.
The man, Vladimir Agoston, recounted that his grandparents were out in the field harvesting corn when an American aircraft was shot down and the pilot ejected on the morning of September 8, 1944 in Muszlya, Hungary.
The pilot was Thomas, and sadly his parachute did not have enough time to open fully as he was too close to the ground, and he passed on impact.
Vladimir recounted that German soldiers threatened anyone who dared touch or bury the body.
That did not stop Vladimir's grandfather and two local priests from sneaking to bury the body in the night and using pig blood to trick the soldiers into thinking that the body had been drug into the woods by animals.
Locals came and chopped up most of the aircraft for parts to use and sell.
Vladimir's grandfather took the engine and the propeller which he used to make knives and also melted down to make a stove for his wife.
Thomas was listed in the book of the dead, along with his photo in the town that he passed away.
After the war, Thomas' remains were retrieved and sent back to the USA, where he was laid to rest in the Arlington National Cemetery.
Many of you likely recognize this unique plane and the photo of Thomas from the memorial painted on the side of the Emporium VFW.
We thank Thomas and all of our other fallen heroes for their sacrifice.
Pictured from left to right is John's son Mark Rogers, brother Paul Rogers, wife Barb Rogers, and sisters Helen Zimmer and Sara Kamman.
