First class anniversary celebration ends with fireworks show By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

The 275th Anniversary of the founding of the Borough of Bath was celebrated last week throughout the borough. The events, organized by a dedicated group of volunteers were well attended by the community. From a night at the park dedicated to the kids completed with moon bounces and a balloon sculptor to an adult formal dinner dance, they had it all. The town celebrated in

style as the week progressed. The weeklong celebration and the four years proceeded it were truly a community effort. Various groups, organizations, businesses, churches, families and individuals worked together over the last four years to raise money, host events, spread the word and recollect the history of our little town. Some people, like Bath’s own ‘Golden Girls’ – Catherine Zakos, Rebecca Rabenold Wieder and Phyllis McIl-

haney Mirakovits, were able to attend every event during the week. These three ladies earned themselves special recognition and t-shirts from the anniversary committee by attending every event that was held over the last four years. The Golden Girls were born and raised in Bath, attended school together and are very close friends. The Golden Girls, and others spent time this past week remembering their childhood in the Borough and friends who have long since been gone. The parade that was held in the borough on Saturday brought many people out to line the streets. The parade was filled with local dignitaries and businesses. The Northampton Big “N” Band led the parade with patriotic and upbeat tunes. Also mak-

ing noise were the Shriners Tin Lizzies, The Allentown “Almost” Marching Band, Emmaus Centennials, Celtic United Drum & Pipe Band, Mail Pouch Express and the Woodland Mummers String Band, 2012 Champs who finished the parade. After the parade, the Woodland Mummers Band put on a show for everyone to enjoy at Ciff Cowlling park. They played music, taught the crowd to strut and danced in the park. Through their fundraising efforts, the Bath 275th Anniversary committee was able to put on a fireworks extravaganza Saturday night. The show was met with clear skies and beautiful weather for all the town to enjoy. In addition to utilizing the money for anniversary events, a portion of the funds raised were do-

nated to the Bath Area Food Bank and the Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen. In addition to funds, the committee also collected memories and photos that will be used to produce a 275th Anniversary Book, which will be out later this year.

Well, it’s all over, after four years of planning. Bath’s 275th Anniversary went off very well with all sorts of events to keep folks busy the whole week.

Lots of great floats, large and small, as folks used their imagination to make ‘em look really good. . . .The Northampton High School Big “N” Band was dressed in their usual orange and black, but comfortable shirts as they made music along the whole route. . . .Members of Town Council rode in cars and Mayor Don and First Lady Joyce were with the grand marshals Carl and Margie Rehrig. . . .Ye Olde Editor had a seat on the Home News pick-up truck, so he waved to the crowd and threw candy to the young’uns. . . . .Even had a Mummers group come up from Philadelphia for the parade. . . .Fire engines from all around the area were in the parade, including the new one for the Bath Firefight-

ers. . . .The Smiley face that was painted on the “square” for the last anniversary hadta be removed on orders of the state highway department, but it was revived out at Wunderler’s Market and also at the upper end of Broad Street, where it can stay. . . .The parade route was different than usual so it could be longer and there were hundreds of people watching along the sidelines all the way. . . .Loved that hat that Marcia Hahn was wearing. . . .The Stack’s not only kept the marchers and floats in line, they were taking pictures, too, for the book the committee wants to publish in a couple months. . . .Hats off to the committee for doing such a great job of pulling everything together!! . . . .

Chamber’s Main Street grants Give $50,000 to support projects

Main Street Lehigh Valley, The Chamber’s Foundation, has released its fifth round of grants totaling $50,000 that will impact 29 projects on Main Streets throughout the Lehigh Valley. From Allentown to Nazareth and from Hellertown to Philipsburg, this unique program funds projects including security cameras, bicycle parking, promotions and streetscape plans. The program will help shore up $2 million for projects across the Valley. These community revitalization grants are provided in partnership with the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation. This year, the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce was able to provide an additional $10,000 to make even more Main Streets projects a reality. The grant program is administered through Main Street Lehigh Valley, the Chamber’s charitable arm. Forty-two applications were received this year. “These grants are the key to revitalizing our Main Streets to make them attractive places to do business, visit, live and play,” said Ann Baum, Chair of the Foundation. Other projects funded include banners, benches, tables, greening, events and safe, clean and green initiatives. Proposals must address projects that are consistent with the Foundation’s mission: improving every main street in the Lehigh Valley through targeted investments

in façade improvements, streetscape designs, sidewalk beautification, and other enhancements to the physical appearance of our downtowns and urban centers. “When we say we are On Every Main Street - we mean it – not just cheerleaders, but as an organization that delivers much needed dollars to

each of our communities,” said Chamber President and CEO Tony Iannelli. In the first four rounds the grants have helped to fund $2 million in community revitalization projects in 18 municipalities across the Lehigh Valley. The Main Street Le-

Touring Germany: Rothenburg and Salzburg By Christine Zopf Home News Editorial Intern

I awoke early on June 29, earlier than any of the other girls. It was 6:30 a.m. and I already knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep on the way to the first stop of the day, Rothenburg, because it would be a short ride. Once we departed shortly after 8 a.m. it finally hit me that my time in Germany was rapidly coming to a close. Rothenburg is a medieval city, still encased by the wall that surrounded it hundreds of years ago. One memory that vividly stays with me was ascending the wall to view the city and walk around the perimeter. I can still feel my knees shaking and my heart racing with fear. Heights never were my strong suit. I clung to the wall, terrified every time someone from the other direction would pass and I would have to pull away from my safety net. One thing I did notice while attached to the wall, were special stones placed with names and locations of people from all over

the world who had donated to the wall’s upkeep. The one that I found the most interesting was from our own Lehigh Valley. Our visit to Rothenburg didn’t last long, and soon we were boarding the bus again, this time for a five hour ride to Salzburg, Austria where we would be spending the night. I can’t say much about the bus ride there, as I slept most of the time. But when I was awake, I spent the time asking everyone what country we were in; no one seemed to know the answer. Finally I saw the road sign stating our entry into Austria. After more countryside traveling we finally arrived in the city. Salzburg was beautiful, and would easily become my favorite stop of the tour. When we arrived at our hostel we were given time to freshen up before meeting in the lobby to go spend time in the city. Unlike Bad Windsheim, everything was open,

more? Then came chiropractic college. Not long after I began, I was introduced to ‘The Cooper’, a double espresso concoction of pure bliss! It was more than welcomed as sleep was a luxury that I just couldn’t afford thanks to the birth of my first daughter and the most intense educational program I had ever experienced. I was running on pure adrenaline. During this time I generally only ate one true meal per day, chicken. Ironically, I somehow still managed to exercise regularly. Looking back, I didn’t feel good, yet youthful stamina overcame any issues. That would soon change. Fast forward through the first two years in practice and still running on adrenaline with marginal sleep. Even though I was well aware of a healthy lifestyle, I consumed sugar and coffee regularly for breakfast. Many days I would skip lunch. I was treating my body like I could get another at any time. I was healthy as a horse and sick as a dog. Can any-

one relate? It took all of what I described above to move me thoroughly towards natural healing. “Heal thyself” never rang truer! And that’s what I did. After applying the principles of which I still teach today I regained what was slowly slipping away, my health. If I would have stayed on that path, I am certain I would be suffering with a host of ailments and on multiple medications. The path back started with a twenty-one day cleanse and purification program. It saved and dramatically enhanced my life. I perform this program twice per year with groups of people. We are starting our next one this September. My energy skyrocketed, my skin texture felt different, I slept peacefully without interruption, I lost an incredible twenty five pounds virtually overnight, and mental clarity improved dramatically. I made a lot of changes back then and I am still making changes today. I eat only protein for breakfast, as much as able. I keep sugary items to a minimum and typically weekends and special occasions. Salads and vegetables are a mainstay. Supplements are my life line. I take my Standard Process whole food supplements every day. Never synthetic store bought vitamins. Protein powder and green food shakes are without question the cornerstone of my success and I recommend them to anyone and everyone in ear shot. Do I drink coffee? Yes, decaffeinated only. I also consume about three cups of plain, home brewed decaffeinated green tea per day. I drink more than sixty four ounces of water each day. I decided to give up all alcoholic beverages for at least a year. Just a personal decision; no big deal if you have it but we are all better off if we steer clear. I have seen what works and what doesn’t. The essentials are still the essentials. That will never change. The question you need to ask yourself is, are you ready to change? Are you? If you have made changes that have improved your health I would like to hear from you. Please email, call, write a letter, or walk in my office and tell me your story. In future discussion I will be highlighting what others in the community have done that appears to have helped them achieve greater health. For starters, I recommend the Standard Process twenty-one day purification and cleanse program. We perform this as a group twice per year. The next is set to start September 17th. My hope is that all the fence sitters will jump on board. Life is calling. Let’s live well!

After all these years I am finally coming clean. I want to admit it to all our avid Natural Perspectives™ followers that sadly, I am human just like you. If this lets you down in any way I apologize. Where I find myself today is vastly different from where I began. Keeping the discussion firmly focused on health, I want to tell you about my past love affair with sugar and caffeine. It’s not pretty but it is the story that must be told. Undergraduate college it seems is a good place to begin as that was where I was introduced on a much larger scale to these two amigos. Somehow, slowly, overtime, I found myself experiencing the ‘wonders’ of coffee and indulging on all things sugar laden. Add in the freedom to consume alcohol and we have now the perfect storm. Ah, the follies of youth! Of course, the impact was seemingly minimal. Age, youth, and stamina were on my side. I was training for my black belt and was madly in love. Who could ask for

even as the night went on. Also unlike Bad Windsheim, almost every other business was a restaurant. My friends and I wandered down the cobblestone streets, looking for an eatery, but failing to agree on one. Of course after some time, we did agree, and after our meal we went back to the meeting spot, waiting to head back to the hostel. That night I roomed with two close friends of mine, Rachel and Chloe. Although there was a 10 o’clock lights out rule, we disregarded this and stayed awake until early hours of the morning, talking and laughing, enjoying what was left of our trip. Early the next morning our group met in the lobby and headed out to the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Although it wasn’t even 9 a.m. it was hot, and the walk up to the fortress was a steep incline. I’d like to say that the hike was worth it, the view from the top was breathtaking. Before us laid a view of the city, surrounding towns and green foliage until they were obstructed by the Alps, looming in the background. That afternoon we departed the city of Salzburg, heading towards the salt mines where we would be taking a tour. I looked forward to this, not only because I thought it would be interesting, but because the mines were cold, around 50° F, as opposed to the 90°F weather above ground. At the mine, we were given a miner’s suit to wear before descending into the mine. On the tour, our guide spoke German. Although my German improved greatly during my stay in Gladen-

bach, I don’t think I understood anything our guide told us, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying the tour. When the tour came to a close and we were brought back to the Earth’s surface the sunlight burned my eyes. I hadn’t realized how dark the mine had been until that moment. After returning the jumpsuit, I boarded the bus for the final time. In Munich the bus would be leaving us and we would remain there for the rest of our stay in Germany.

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷

As August goes on, the National Football League preseason exhibition schedule continues. Many people feel four exhibtion games are too many. They cite the tremendous

physical toll on the players’ bodies, the lack of playing time for the starters and the considerable ticket costs. Many teams make their season tickets holders buy tickets for the exhibition games as part of their package and yet put out a product which is clearly inferior to that of the regular season. With the increased awareness of the severity of head injuries in football, the less games the better in regards to players’ safety. A much more manageable amount would be two games. One home and one away.

Extra Hunter-Trapper Education Classes Before Fall Seasons Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe says the agency is scheduling more basic Hunter-Trapper Education (HTE) courses for September and October so all new hunters can complete this mandatory course to be eligible to participate in the upcoming fall hunting seasons. “With the fall seasons fast approaching, time soon will run out for those who have not yet passed a basic Hunter-Trapper Education course, which is mandatory for all first-time license buyers, regardless of age,” Roe said. “While we have been holding courses all summer, we have found that some people wait until autumn is officially here to begin making plans for the

hunting seasons. To meet this need, we are scheduling additional courses throughout the state, so now is the time to register for a course.” To register for a course in your area, visit the Game Commission’s website (www. pgc.state.pa.us), click on the “Hunter Education Classes” icon in the center of the homepage and then clicking on either “Hunter-Trapper Education” or “Hunter-Trapper Education Independent Study.” With the support of thousands of volunteers, HTE courses are being held throughout the state. There is no fee for the basic HTE course. Pre-registration is required and online registration is available for all courses

offered by the agency. Taught by dedicated teams of trained volunteers, most HTE classes last at least 10 hours over two or more days, and participants must attend all instruction before taking the test at the end of the course. Youngsters must be at least 11 years old to receive HTE certification. Successful completion of a basic Pennsylvania HTE class, or another state’s equivalent course, is required by state law to obtain a first-time hunting or furtaker license, regardless of age. Registrations also are being accepted for the independent-study version of the basic HTE program, which is available for those 11 years of age or older. The independent study course requires students to attend a two- to three-hour class to be tested and certified. Prior to this classroom test, however, students must study the entire course content on their own, which takes about eight to 10 hours to complete. Study guides are available online from the registration page or, to request a print version of “Today’s Hunter & Trapper in Pennsylvania,” call the Hunter-Trapper Education Division (717-787-7015) to request a study guide be mailed to you. There is a $1.59 postage fee (plus sales tax) for mailed study guides. In addition, registrations are being accepted for other educational programs offered by the Game Commission, including Successful Bowhunting, Successful Furtaking and Cable Restraint Certification. The Successful Bowhunting course is a one-day voluntary training program for those seeking to expand their skills and knowledge of bowhunting. While voluntary in Pennsylvania, certification for this course may be required by other states. There is an $20 course fee, which covers the cost of the online study course required before attending the class.

Northampton Area Food bank wins Exchange Golden Deeds award By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The Northampton Area Food Bank on Wednesday, Aug. 15 received the 2012 Golden Deeds Award from the Northampton Exchange Club. It was the 58th such award given by the Exchange for service to the community at large. Club president Kim Belletti presented the award at a dinner meeting in the Northampton Memorial Community Center, and it was accepted by food bank president Rev. Martin E. Nuscher. State Representative Julie Harhart also presented a citation from the Pa. House of Representatives honoring the food bank for its 20 years of serving the hunger needs of people in the Northampton Area School District area.

Rev. Nuscher showed slides depicting the history of the food bank, which started in November 1992, the idea of its first president Elsie Andrews. Sponsors of the food bank then were Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Holy Trinity Slovak Lutheran Church, Zion Lutheran Church, St. Paul’s U.C.C. and Grace U.C.C. Now there are 17 participating organizations that provide the volunteers. Starting out in a small garage, the food bank moved

into a much larger building at its present location, 1601 Canal St., Northampton, in 2007, due a great deal to the efforts of Exchange member Donald Missimer. In his slide presentation, Rev. Nuscher said the food bank early on had 50 volunteers, and now numbers almost 300. They had served 17 families with 65 people 20 years ago and now it’s 400450 families per month with more than 1,000 men, women Continued on page 13

and children who are in need. He said there’s always a need for food, especially over the holidays of Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. They serve about 1,100 people in November. The food bank gets 120,000 lbs. food from Second Harvest Food Bank in Allentown, plus other sources, and purchases much with funds raised at such events as a penny party this past week at Hope Lutheran Church in Cherryville, bake sales, raffles, and gift cards. Clients get about a week’s amount of food. Some people go to other food banks in the area as well to carry them through the month. Every July people have to register, noting their income level. In a pamphlet given at the Exchange dinner it was noted:

August 23-29, 2012

News Sermonette Rev. Glenn Rice, Pastor Zion’s Stone UCC, Kreidersville / Northampton

Just Say The Word A wise man’s heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction (Proverbs 16:23 NIV). I know there are words that all of us enjoy hearing over and over again. These words are normally uplifting, positive in nature, giving us hope for the future. Many of times these words will make us smile. We also know words that will make us cry and stir up those feelings of anger deep inside of us. Go to the New Testament in the Bible and you will find Jesus speaking a few words causing: - A storm to be stilled - Blind eyes given sight - The lame and lepers being healed immediately - The dead brought back to life - Feeding many with little - Sins being forgiven - Hope given to the hopeless Great minds trying to interrupt his words for centuries All of these actions, just because of a few words spoken by Jesus. The words we choose to speak have much more power than we realize. Sometimes just one word spoken by a parent, a teacher, or a friend will always be remembered by a child. Kind words spoken can teach a child to love while hateful words can teach the same child to hate. Please remember that kind, encouraging words spoken at the right time can make a positive change in anyone’s life. The Centurion’s servant was paralyzed by pain. The Centurion, having heard of this man named Jesus, searched for his help. Jesus offered to go with him to visit the servant but the Centurion said he did not need to physically go. With great faith he said, “Just say the word and my servant will be healed” (Matthew 8:8). Just say the word … but choose it judiciously! Client eligibility is based upon the income guidelines of the Pa. Dept. of Agriculture’s Emergency Food Assistance Program. The food bank serves any individuals residing with the Northampton Area School District who meet criteria and referrals from Second Harvest. New clients may register any Wednesday between 9:30 a.m. and 12 noon or the two Saturdays they distribute between 11 a.m. and noon. They must bring photo I.D. with a current address/posted mail with correct address. Rev. Nuscher concluded, “Volunteers are the ones who make the food bank work.”

Know The Weather

Why is the weather of the Hawaiian Islands practically ideal? The much-famed climate of the Pacific vacation islands is caused by their location (latitude) and the huge mass of water surrounding them, and the topography of the land itself. The ocean area provides a constant temperature since it does not give up its heat as readily as a land mass. The latitude (about that of Cuba) promises warmth. The breezes from the sea in daytime and down the mountain slopes at night insure comfortable rather than excessive heat. Thus the combination of low mountains (these conditions pertain to Oahu particularly and to most of the other islands (generally), ocean mass, latitude, prevailing winds and other factors contribute to the amazing constancy of Hawaii’s good weather.

Why Eliminate the EAC in Moore Twsp.? To the Editor:

Moore Township residents deserve better! The following is background on the Moore Township Open Space Plan. By Ordinance #2005-5 dated March 1, 2005, a question was placed on the ballot for the May 17, 2005 election asking if residents favor the imposition of an additional Earned Income Tax (EIT) at the rate of 0. 25% by Moore Township for financing the acquisition of open space. These EIT funds were to be used for: Acquiring agriculture conservation easements Acquiring easements to protect sensitive natural areas as woodlands, stream valleys and other unique natural recourses Acquiring property development rights This 0.25% tax increase for open space purchase generates approximately $40,000.00 dollars per month and by 2010 the fund had accumulated almost 2 million dollars and was sitting there to be used. There was one problem, no Open

p.m., Officer Antonucci of CRPD was on routine patrol on the exit traffic way for the Northampton Crossings shopping center. Bryan Weaver, 22, of 2798 E. Beersville Rd., Bath, was seen operating a blue Saturn, and with no hands on the steering wheel was attempting to light something in his mouth with a lighter. The officer could also smell an odor of burnt marijuana in the area. When Weaver noticed the officer driving next to him, he came to an abrupt stop while going through a green light. A traffic stop was conducted on Easton-Nazareth Hwy. at the Rt. 33 overpass. Burnt marijuana could be smelled coming from the car. Discovered on Weaver was an aluminum pipe containing suspected burnt marijuana residue. The passenger in the car, who is the owner, gave officers permission to search the car. A baggie of suspected marijuana was found under the driver’s seat and another aluminum pipe containing suspected burnt marijuana Continued on page 20

Space Plan had been adopted by Moore Township. A Farmland Board was established which was to get the Open Space Plan up and running. Between 2005 and 2009, The Farmland Board worked diligently and succeeded in establishing criteria for farmland preservation but was not able to get an Open Space Plan completed to start preserving land in the Township. The Township had to have an Open Space Plan in place to start using these funds to preserve land. In most townships and the state an EAC (Environmental Advisory Council) was established to do this. So, in 2009 the Moore Township Supervisors at that time reluctantly established the Moore Township EAC (Environmental Advisory Council). Its purpose, among others was to get the Open Space Plan up and running and it did so by examining existing and current goals and by having public participation and input. They initiated a questionnaire which was sent to Township residents asking what their priorities were. PA003267

www.bickertshvac.com

Those returned questionnaires were tabulated by the EAC and the Farmland Board. A public meeting and discussion with the Heritage Conservancy, the Conservancy hired to help develop the Moore Township Open Space Plan, was held to determine what the Township residents wanted and what was important to Moore Township for Open Space preservation. Most Townships in our area and the state work with their EAC’s or Open Space Boards to administer the preservation of farmland and natural areas and pass on their recommendations to the Supervisors. The Moore Township Open Space Plan as written and passed in 2010 was written this way. It was prepared by the Heritage Conservancy, which worded the plan and EAC functions pertaining to land preservation as was done in most other plans the Heritage Conservancy had written. Now the Moore Township Supervisors want to replace that plan with a new Open Space Plan, eliminating the EAC from anything to do with land preservation. The EAC and Farmland Board were able to jointly work together and recommend land to be preserved with EIT funds after the Open Space Plan was approved. If it were not for the EAC, no Open Space Plan would have been done and the EIT money would still be waiting to be used. No Natural Areas criteria would have been established, the Groff Farm which was the first natural area in the Township to be preserved, might not have been preserved, no Township Newsletters would have been printed, no recycling would have been started, no money would have been sent to the Northampton County for participation in the County Farmland Partnership Program, which returned $356,000.00 dollars in the first year and $301,000.00 dollars this year. This is all money that can be used in addition to the tax collected EIT monies. Without the EAC to speak up for the Groff property, it might have not been preserved, a unique area with outstanding flora and fauna. All along the way, the EAC was working for preservation, sending letters to County Council, to the press, asking the county to preserve their Open Space Programs. Now the Open Space Plan in Moore Township is finally up and running, but without EAC involvement. At the July 10, 2012 EAC meeting it was announced by the Supervisors that the EAC would no longer be involved with land preservation-a vital function of every EAC. They were told that a new board was being formed called “The Land Preservation Board” and no EAC member could sit on both boards. Evidently, for the past few months, the Supervisors were working to change the original ordinances that established the Open Space Plan and the EAC and to remove the EAC from anything to do with land preservation, and establish a new Open Space Ordinance which would have the Land Preservation Board do it all. One would think that the Supervisors would have had the common decency to meet with the EAC and original Farm Board members to get some insight and feedback from each board and explain to them what

ordinance changes they were planning and the reasons for the changes instead of being so secretive and not above board about it all. To my knowledge the EAC had no inkling that anything like this was taking place. I cannot speak for the Farmland Board but the new Moore Township Open Space Plan that is about to be passed has all the original Farmland Board members listed as being on the new board. I am sure they will be getting the cooperation from the Supervisors that the EAC requested and never received with two members appointed to the board who are part time employees of the township and may or may not be independent of their employers. These Ordinance changes were made known publically at the August 7, 2012, Supervisors meeting when these new ordinances were first introduced. There were no reporters at that meeting so no news of the changes got into the papers and even though several members of the audience questioned the reason for the change and could see no reason for it, the Supervisors passed it along to the Planning Commission. At the next EAC meeting of August 14, 2012, three members resigned. The EAC will still remain and continue to function but will no longer be involved with land preservation, either farmland or natural areas. The Open Space Program will be preserved but all functions will now be performed by the yet to be newly established Land Preservation Board. I attended the last Farmland Board meeting and was amazed at how much cooperation there was between the Supervisors and the board. I feel they will do a good job and land will still be preserved as before. What I cannot condone is the method used to make these changes. Now with two part time township employees on the board, one wonders how independent the board will be and who is really running the show. Moore Township residents deserve better than this. They need their advisory board members to be independent and to be able to discuss openly what they feel is correct to pass on to the Supervisors, despite the fact that it may not always be in agreement with what the Supervisors want. The Supervisors always have the final say, as they have in this matter. It is not good government by our Supervisors to do what they did with the EAC and make ordinance changes to suit themselves. It is beneath them. MOORE TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS DESERVE BETTER!

Drivers look out For students, buses

As the new school year begins, PennDOT reminds drivers to remain vigilant as students and school buses return to the roadways. “Our ultimate goal is to make sure everyone safely arrives at their destination,” said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch. “Motorists should avoid distractions and obey school bus and school zone traffic laws so we have the safest possible environment for students boarding and exiting buses.” By law, motorists approaching from all directions are required to stop at least 10 feet from a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. The only exception is when a driver encounters a school bus stopping on the opposite side of a highway clearly separated by a divider, such as concrete barriers or grass medians. Even in this situation, motorists should be alert for students trying to cross the road to catch the bus. Motorists convicted of violating Pennsylvania’s school bus stopping law face a $250 fine, five points on their driving record and a 60-day license suspension. In addition to watching for school buses, motorists should be alert in school zones, which become hubs of vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Motorists are required to slow down to the posted speed limit of 15 mph in school zones. Violators face a fine and three points on their driving record. Students are also exposed to traffic while waiting for buses or walking to the bus stop or school. Motorists are reminded to be cautious and alert when approaching a school bus stop and to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.

How do you prepare to finance an education while preparing to finance your retirement? Should you borrow from your 401(k)? Whether your goals are long term, mid term, or “panic term,” I can help you bring clarity to your specific situation. I realize that financial planners cannot effectively serve their clients with a one-size-fits-all approach and have thus chosen to specialize in just two areas: college planning and comprehensive retirement planning. My personal status as a Baby Boomer and parent who has put my sons through college keeps me focused on these two life stages. I strive to minimize unintended consequences that can occur when decisions and actions in one stage are made in isolation from the other stage. My favorite client meetings are those in which the family’s teenagers join our discussions! In 2009, I launched Life Stage Financial Solutions, LLC. My vision was to offer the best of both worlds: the comfort and care of a private boutique with access to world-class money management. I continue to sharpen my skills through continuing education to maintain my status as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and a Certified College Planning Specialist. I am the owner of my firm and can customize a strategy to help meet your unique financial goals, large and small. No mutual fund company, insurance carrier, or publicly traded firm dictates what is best for you. Registered Representative.
