The Value Of Volunteering Locals do their part with gazebo

Bath Community Day At Keystone Park Oct. 6

The Bath Business & Community Partnership reminds local residents that the 7th annual Bath Community Day will be held on Saturday, October 6 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a new location, Keystone Park, at Race & Green Sts in Bath. BBCP is presently looking for vendors and sponsors for the event, which will be held rain or shine. The location was changed to provide better visibility to the community, convenient vendor parking on the field, and plenty of shade trees. Bath Community Day is designed to promote businesses and civic organizations in and around the Borough of Bath. The event has been put together for the young folks, as well as the ‘young at heart!’

Children’s events, live music, food and fun are scheduled for the day. Besides crafters and vendors, local businesses, charities and non-profit organizations are also taking part. Also planned are moon bounces for the kids, face painting and live music. Be sure to stop by the BBCP tent for more information on volunteering in your community. This is BBCP’s seventh year of bringing the community together, as they seek to make Bath a special place in which to work, live and visit. Sponsorship levels include: Presidential, $500 donation and above; Ambassador, $250$499 donation and above, or Partner, $50-$249 and above. The greater amount donated,

The Bath Business & Community Partnership (BBCP) and Bath Borough are partnering with local contractors, vendors and volunteers to construct a gazebo and restroom building at Keystone Park. As reported previously, local professionals, contractors, vendors and volunteers have donated their expertise, materials and labor towards completion of the gazebo. ------------------------------“I hung out here as a kid, I worked on other restoration projects in Bath and I want to help because it’s a community project.”

fit the beams without Curtiss’ expertise.” Kearns said. “These volunteers are just so amazing. They do it because they want to see Bath get better. It just grows and grows. A neighbor across the street lent his tools and asked only that they be put back on his porch when done. Every week, the visitors to the Bath Farmers Market comment on the progress.” Bath Borough Manager Thomas Petrucci also emphasized the key role volunteerism plays in realizing com-

munity revitalization goals. “The initiative spearheaded by the BBCP to build the gazebo at Keystone Park epitomizes the positive results of public collaboration when interconnected with the support of private volunteers and donors. The gazebo will enhance both the natural and added features of the park,” he said. Kearns said the plumbing for the restroom and electrical work will be completed in Continued on page 7

Curtiss Markulics

------------------------------Local carpenter, Curtiss R. Markulics (610-837-0332) has lent his carpentry skills to complete the framing, beams and ceiling. When asked why he committed to helping, Curtiss said, “For a couple of different reasons – I hung out here as a kid, I worked on other restoration projects in Bath and I want to help because it’s a community project.” Councilman John Kearns, who is on site most days, praised Curtiss’ involvement. “Curtiss is a master carpenter. We could never have cut these angles and

Mundo Fox

A disturbing trend to some--a welcome trend to others--is the increasing trend to make this a twolanguage nation. The founding fathers established this country to be a unified English language nation. For generations a major goal and policies have been to have all Americans speak (and read) English. Only in this way can they fully know American history and the founding fathers’ principles on which today’s 300-plus million citizens live and cooperate. But a sign of two language growth is the opening of the new Spanish language MundoFox TV network--in fifty U.S. cities! Though it’s usually denied, the availability of non-English language newspapers and TV stations reduces the incentive among foreign language residents to learn English. The troubling feature of a two-language country is that if one doesn’t read the official language he or she may never be ble to fully read and understand the principles and ideals which, in writing, made this nation what it is today. In addition, history shows nations comprised of multilanguage citizens often lack the unity nations of one common language usually enjoy.

Letters from our Readers The Moore Township EAC Is Alive And Well To the Editor: The time has come to put an end to the misinformation that has been spreading throughout the township that the EAC is being eliminated, is simply not true. The elimination of the Moore Township EAC has been greatly exaggerated. It is the hope of the Moore Township Board of Supervisors that the EAC (Environmental Advisory Council) will continue on for many years to come. The only change is that the EAC will return to its original responsibilities as described by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council. That is to focus on the environmental and conservation issues of Moore Township and advise the Supervisors on dealing with the issues. Although many townships use their EAC’s in their land preservation efforts, Moore Township is fortunate in that it will have a Land Preservation Board in addition to an EAC. At this time it is only logical that each board focus on what they were originally designed to do. The six volunteer members of the Land Preservation Board are very capable of handling all that is necessary to preserve as much farmland and natural areas in Moore Township as possible. The current volunteer members of the EAC will continue on with their

environmental and conservation efforts. Both boards will be able to function more efficiently than ever. We appreciate and greatly respect both boards and we feel that with this small change, both boards will operate much more proficiently and the information needed by the boards will be centralized within each board. We are currently working on a link for each board on our website, www.mooretownship.org, so that both boards can better inform residents of their current and past activities. Also, with two boards, where other townships only utilize one, more township residents will have the opportunity to participate in the decision making process, and volunteer on these Advisory Boards. The Moore Township Board of Supervisors is committed to the continuation of the EAC and any and all of its environmental and conservation efforts. Just as much as we are committed to the Land Preservation Board for the preservation of our natural areas and farmland. We feel confident that with the changes made to both boards, Moore Township will move forward with great success. Moore Township Board of Supervisors Dave Tashner Dick Gable Louis Cacciola

It Was Council’s Idea to Honor P.A.K. To the Editor: With all the activities involved in our 275th Anniversary, I’m certain it was difficult for The Home News staff to fully report all aspects of each event. However, it was incorrectly stated in the Pet e Gossip that I was grateful to the Anniversary Committee for honoring P.A.K. at the dedication of the Park, a Borough function, on Monday August 13, 2012. The timing of the dedication was appropriate, due to P.A.K.’s devotion to Bath and being the first Borough Manager. The concept was originated and brought forth to the Council by Council President Bob Fields and unanimously approved by all council members. My daughter who lives in Bloombsurg, Pa. traveled to Bath for this memorable occasion. My son lives in Michigan, and was disappointed he could not attend due to a business trip. My family and I would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to President Fields and Council members for remembering and honoring “P.A.K. from Bath, Pa.” During this special week. Gigi Kahler Bath, Pa.

Interpretive bike Ride along part Of D&L Trail

Do you know why the Lehigh River curves so often in our area? Have you ever seen the remains of the Treichlers dam? Why were Laurys Station, Lockport and Rockdale once thriving towns? What routes did the railroads follow a century ago? Why is some of the vegetation along the trail considered to be invasive? To learn the answers to these and other questions, join Lehigh Township Rails to Trails and the BHCWA (BertschHokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed Association) for an interpretive bike ride from the Cove Rd. trailhead of the D & L to the Lehigh Gap Nature Center at Lehigh Gap. This event will take place on Sat, Oct. 13, and will begin at 9:00AM. At various places along the route members of each organization will be presenting information and answering questions about the topics mentioned above. This will be a somewhat leisurely ride due to the stops at various points of interest along the way. Those individuals and families who would like to do a shorter ride may join the group at the Slatington trail head between 10:30 and 11:00a.m. Participants may pack a lunch to eat under the covered pavilion at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center. Restrooms and beverage machines will be available. Rail Trail and Watershed Association members will be on hand there to Continued on page 9

Know The Weather

What makes big hailstones and why does hail fall during a thunder- storm? Hail is usually formed in thunderheads because these storm clouds contain very strong updrafts and downdrafts. Rain droplets begin to fall, are caught by an updraft and suddenly carried to an altitude where the temperature is below freezing. The rain droplets freeze into hail. They fall again, picking up moisture as they reenter the rain area, but are sent aloft by another updraft where the moisture added since the first freeze is frozen to the center core. The process of fall and ascent is sometimes carried on several times, the hailstones growing larger with each trip upward. The stronger the upper draft in the thunderhead, the larger hail is likely to be since strong winds are required to lift big hailstones.

the Fence GabGab OverOver the Fence by Pete G. Ossip by Pete G. Ossip

I don’t know about you, but I’m having some kind of a letdown this week. After so much that was going on last week with Bath’s big anniversary, it seems like we’re in a sort of vacuum this week. Nothing much going on. Oh well, with the kids going back to school again, that’ll liven things up, and we can get on with our busy routines. Folks will be back from summer vacationing and there will be the real football season, none of this pre-season stuff, and we can argue about what team is best. . . .One thing, if you haven’t noticed lately, those Phillies are playing ball like they did the last five years. Maybe it’s what they’re getting from Kyle Kendrick, Erik Kratz, and Frandsen, along with winning again by Lee, Hamels and Halladay. Winning is a lot better than losing, and the Phillies knocked off those Nationals over the weekend. Ye Ed’s kin are happier, too, ‘cause the Braves may be getting closer to the top. . . .Reckon I better lay off all this sports talk. Elmira’s

not a big fan. But it’s one way I can shake these doldrums. . . . I see a few old timers have passed away, Alex Kish, Donnie Ervin, and George Creyer. I recollect Alex and Ruby from the past, Don being the son of Bill Ervin, and George being related to I believe it was Lottie Roth. Not too sure of that, as the memories start to fade some. And Myrtle Schwartz passed away, too. She always liked to tell jokes, and had a good sense of humor even to the last. But anyhow, time marches on, and we can’t stop it. Just enjoy life and the friends we have as go on from day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year. . . . Farmers market in town is thriving now that it’s harvest season. So there’s lots going on down at the park every Friday with one festival or another to keep folks interested and enjoying it. Great to have something like that in town. . . .By the way, Keystone Park is gonna be the place this time for Community Day on October 6th, so you don’t wanta miss that. The gazebo

is almost done the last time I looked, so that will be a place for events, I’m sure, whether it’s bands or whatever. . . . This is Labor Day weekend, so it’s the unofficial end of summer, a good time for a backyard family picnic – if the remnants of Tropical Storm Isaac don’t interfere, that is. And now that September is upon us, that means fall, and falling leaves. They’ve already started falling, so get your rakes and leaf blowers ready. . . .Have a great holiday, gang!!!

Touring Germany: Arriving in Munich and Dachau By Christine Zopf Home News Editorial Intern

On June 30, 2012 the American GAPP students and myself settled into our final youth hostel in Munich, Germany. Our tour bus left us, and we now had to brave the German public transportation system. We were all given maps of the subway, but I don't think I ever opened mine and I eventually discarded it. After settling into our rooms, we met in the lobby of the hostel and headed into the city

to find dinner and go shopping. Finding dinner was a challenge itself. Using a map of the city we found, we tried to find an Italian restaurant, but in the end we could not navigate the map. A woman nearby saw us struggle and tried to help us, but we still could not follow her directions, so we set off in search of something else. While there were many restaurants, most were not in the price range of my group of friends. When we did find an inexpensive

restaurant, nothing on the menu appealed to me, and I ate dessert for dinner. Afterward, when we tried to find stores we could afford to shop at, we realized that all shops close at 8 p.m. On a Saturday, we wandered around the city until we found other people we knew, and then continued to wander, adding more people to our group as we went along. When we returned to the hostel we had little time before we had to be in our rooms before lights out at 10 p.m. When I did return to my room, there was a swarm of moths and mosquitoes hovering near the ceiling. The hostels we had stayed at, including this one, were not air conditioned, so my room mates and I had opened every window. That is until our room became the dwelling place for the bugs that had been attracted by the greenery outside the windows. We chose to close all the windows; we would rather be hot than bitten by bugs while we slept. The next morning when I woke up, I already knew it was going to be a long day.

Our group would be going to Dachau, the concentration camp where countless victims lost their lives during the second World War. We entered the camp under the phrase most camps held above their gate, Arbeit Macht Frei, or work will make you free. What lay beyond was desolate; a work yard, stone walkways, and the barracks lay before us. We walked towards a building, which now served as a memorial museum for a short movie on Hitler's rein and Nazism. Afterward we were free to walk the camp, going through the buildings and viewing the memorials that had been erected. Although there were many people touring Dachau that day, it was eerily silent. As I walked I couldn't help but think that at the very spot I was standing, someone had been tortured, someone had lost their life, and it was all out of hatred and a struggle for a fantasized â&#x20AC;&#x153;superior race.â&#x20AC;? My friends and I walked through the barracks, the churches, and finally the gas chambers. It was sobering to stand in a room where the dead were stored until they could be cremated, and also disturbing. I quickly realized it is much different to learn about the holocaust than to actually be walking where the victims had walked, seeing what they saw. I realized the horror of it while there, walking through a gas chamber where men, women, and children had been tricked, believing they would be bathed, only to die by the hands of Zyklon B and the Nazis. Back at the center of Dachau a memorial stood with the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;May the example of those who were exterminated here between 1933-1945 because they resisted Nazism help to unite the living for the defence of peace and freedom and in respect for their fellow man.â&#x20AC;?The words spoke to me. Standing in Dachau, I was oppressed by an overwhelming sadness for the victims who

The Home News had lost their lives, and their surviving descendants who would never forget the force of Nazism. I hope that history never repeats itself. After leaving Dachau our group took a bus to the Olympic Stadium, where we ascended to the top of the nearby tower. Being so high up was not my forte, and I immediately sat down so I did not have to see the way we were towering over the surrounding city. After five minutes my friends and I were back safely on the ground, enjoying the weather outside of the tower, waiting for the rest of our group. Our day ended with time to explore BMW World. I lack an interest in cars, so instead of walking around and admiring various BMWs, my friend Jenna and I chose to talk instead. Dachau had been a sobering experience that weighed on me for most of the day. I doubt I will ever forget Dachau for as long as I live. Although it left me feeling somber, I knew I only had one day left in Germany, and I would make the most of it. The group headed back to the youth hostel to see what the night had in store.

Corn dogs, paint and other fair scents By Jill Pertler

This is a corn dog, hot dog, funnel cake, crab cake, mini donut, cotton candy, kettle corn, caramel corn, sweet corn, gyro, taco, slider, snow cone, chocolate-covered frozen banana time of year. State fairs, county fairs and any other sorts of affairs bring good folks together during warm weather months for one clear purpose, and it isn’t about walking along dusty gravel roads touring barns and viewing farm animals – although I certainly enjoy a good bunny or pig exhibit when I see one. The actual fair experience centers on the scents and smells – of the food, not the swine. Imagine: Cotton candy machines throwing sweetness into the air. Kettle corn aroma surrounding you with buttery goodness. Turkey legs roasting. Kabobs grilling. Barbecue barbecuing. Deep fryers overflowing with corn dogs, funnel cakes and sizzling Snicker’s bars. It’s enough to put a regular person into a sensory stupor. We’re talking olfactory over-

load – an odiferous odyssey. Pause. Take it all in – and out. Just breathe. According to my highly scientific sources (aka Google), 110,000 different smells exist in nature. Most humans can perceive about 100 to 200, but there are six basic smells most often detected by our noses. They are sweet, spicy, fruity, burned, putrid and paint. Yeah, paint. Go figure. I love visiting the fair. Each summer, I attempt to smell – and eat – my way from entrance to exit. This year, I got waylaid. Not by corn dogs or bunny exhibits, but by paint. While other people indulged in fruity funnel cakes and spicy whatchamacallits on a stick, I held a paintbrush and breathed in odor number six on the list of scents to catch a whiff of in 2012. This could have been the end of my olfactory experience, except for the dog. She must have eaten food that disagreed with her stomach – perhaps an errant corn dog or deep-fried something-orother. Whatever it was, she had tummy troubles – in a

Grilled Sesame Steak Sure to Satisfy “...Grilling brings out the tenderness of this steak.”

Scott Anderson

e love the all-American burger and hot dogs have their place, but there is just something extra-satisfying about a perfectly grilled steak at a cookout. Seasoned cook Scott Anderson created this recipe to celebrate the flank steak, which he says is “an often misused piece of beef” since it can become tough if mishandled. Long marinating in a nutty sesame dressing paired with a quick hot grill coaxes out tenderness and delicious flavor every time. See step-by-step photos of Scott’s recipe plus thousands more from home cooks around the country at: www.justapinch.com/sesamesteak You’ll also find a meal planner, coupons and chances to win!

What You Need 1 c merlot or cabernet red wine 3/4 c red wine vinegar 1/4 c sesame oil 1/2 c olive oil, extra virgin 4 tbsp garlic, chopped 3 tbsp fresh ginger, coarsely chopped 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp cracked black pepper 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt 2 lb beef flank steaks Directions

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, whisking to emulsify.

• Place marinade in two gallon-sized zip lock bags and add one flank steak to each.

Shake to evenly coat meat; refrigerate. Marinate steak overnight turning several times to coat.

• Preheat grill to medium high heat (375 degrees F). Discard marinade and sear steak on each side, approximately 1-2 minutes per side. Continue cooking 6 minutes per side, turning once. When the steak reaches desired doneness, remove from grill and let rest 8-10 minutes under a piece of tented aluminum foil. Resting allows the juices to pull back into the meat before carving.

word, gas. And she was passing it generously throughout the room, like an overflowing bag of mini donuts. My luck kept getting better and better. I was painting. The dog was tooting, filling the atmosphere with anything but a mini donut aroma – if you catch my drift. I believe flatulence is covered under the category of putrid scents, which is number five on the scientific list. I found myself longing to catch a whiff of good old number six. Not even the ceiling fan or open windows served to help my plight. I tried to focus on pleasant thoughts. State fair food fodder is legendary. You’ll find crawfish and frog legs in Louisiana, croco tacos in Florida. Minnesota serves up deep fried lamb testicles and camel on a stick. For a bacon peanut banana burger (aka “the Elvis”) head to Indiana. Fried jelly beans are the pride of New York; fried bubble gum gets chewy in Texas. You can purchase deep fried butter in Iowa, deep fried beer in Wisconsin and pickle soda pop in Kansas. California serves Caesar salad on a stick (of course). For dessert, order a mealworm covered caramel apple in Arizona (if you dare). All these thoughts of food made me hungry. Luckily, my paint bucket was as empty as my stomach, so I stepped over the dog and headed to the kitchen for a bite to eat. Since we didn’t have any deep fried Pop Tarts, dill pickles or watermelon, and we were plum out of nachos or spaghetti on a stick, I opted for the culinary classic: peanut butter and jelly on toast. It may have looked like a normal sandwich, but in my mind, it was deep fried, on a stick, dipped in rich dark chocolate and rolled in nuts. Boy, did it smell good. Well, better than the dog, at least.

Comment On Sports By Pete Fritchie

BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷ Two Major League baseball players fans enjoy watching most are Chipper Jones and Derek Jeter. Sadly, this is the last season for Jones. Jones has played for the Atlanta Braves for over 20 years and Jeter has done the same

as a New York Yankee. Both have records prominent in baseball history. ------------------------One of the two-team rivalries attracting much attention in the American League is the battle for first place between the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. Tiger fans are often disappointed that with two of the top hitters in the game, the club so often scores few runs. Though both Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder have high averages, Detroit’s other hitters fail to hit in the clutch too often.

Game Commission Looking Into Deer Deaths in Southwest Pa. Pennsylvania Game Commission Wildlife Conservation Officers are investigating the cause of death for more than 35 white-tailed deer in Beaver and Cambria counties. Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is suspected. Game Commission biologists recently submitted three samples for testing from deer found in Greene Township and Ohioville Borough in Beaver County (one male and one female), and Summerhill Township in Cambria County (one female) to the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study at the University of Georgia. The agency will continue to gather samples from other dead deer being found in other municipalities. Due to decomposition, samples must be collected within 24 hours of the animal’s death

for the samples to be viable. Once the results are available, the Game Commission plans to release the findings to the public. “While we must wait for test results to confirm just what caused these deer to die, at this time, we are suspecting that the deer died of EHD, based on field signs that we are seeing,” said Dr. Walter Cottrell, Game Commission wildlife veterinarian. He noted that, earlier this month, EHD was confirmed in Oklahoma and Nebraska. EHD is one of the most common diseases among white-tailed deer in the United States, and is contracted by the bite of insects called “biting midges.” EHD usually kills the animal within five to 10 days, and is not spread from deer to deer. While

EHD is not infectious to humans, deer displaying severe symptoms of EHD may not be suitable for consumption. Cottrell stressed that even though some EHD symptoms are similar to those of chronic wasting disease (CWD) – such as excessive drooling, unconsciousness and a loss of fear of humans – there is no relationship between EHD and CWD. Cottrell also pointed out that EHD should be curtailed with the first hard frost, which will kill the insects that are spreading the disease. He noted that EHD, unlike CWD, is a seasonal disease and the affected local deer herd can rebound quickly. “The good news from this situation is that the public is reporting these sightings to the Game Commission,” Cottrell said. “Should the state’s deer herd be infected with more serious diseases, the Game Commission will need to rely on the continued vigilance of the public so that we can respond in a timely manner.” In 2011, EHD was confirmed in Northampton and Erie counties. EHD was confirmed in southwestern Pennsylvania in 2007 and 2002, and was suspected to be the cause of death in nearly 25 deer in Adams County in 1996. However, tests conducted at that time were inconclusive. For more information on EHD, go to the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc. state.pa.us), put your cursor on “Wildlife” in the menu bar at the top of the homepage, put your cursor on “Wildlife Diseases” in the drop-down menu listing, then choose “Wildlife Disease Reference Library” from the second drop-down menu and look for “Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease.”

These numbers compare well with those of last year, when 32 pairs raised 68 offspring.” McMorris said that peregrines nested in 15 counties across Pennsylvania, with particular concentrations in the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre areas.

Others who may not have purchased a ticket in the past will have their chance after October 2nd. In any case, the committee expects to sell out ALL 600 of the $100 tickets. There will be no $35 dinner tickets this time. The letters will tell about the 60-plus big prizes that will be given out on Feb. 9 – Gun / ATV raffles drawn every five minutes for five hours – and other details, which we’ll go into in the coming weeks.

occurred in Danielsville last year with penned-in deer. Two other topics at the PFSC convention will be the new Small Games of Chance regulations and a forum on Marcellus Shale. We’ve learned recently that a geologist representative from a consulting firm in the gas and oil industry would like to speak to the County Federation on the positive side of Marcellus Shale. She’ll be speaking at the East Bath Rod & Gun Club for the Federation’s Sept. 24th meeting. This county will be represented at the convention in the Johnstown Holiday Inn by Northampton County president Mike Topping, delegate Lee Marsh and alternates Norman Graver and Bill Halbfoerster, county treasurer Justin Roussos, and Delaware Shad Fishermen Assoc. delegate John Berry. We’ll have a report for Outdoors when we return.

The deaths of those deer from EHD will surely be a topic when the Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs (PFSC) has its fall convention on Sept. 28-30 at Johnstown. It was a topic briefly noted by Northampton County WCO Brad Kreider at the County Federation meeting on Monday. At each PFSC convention in the spring and fall, the PFSC hears reports from PGC Executive Director Carl Roe, and the deer fatalities will be a part of it.

Aug. 30-Sept. 5, 2012

School board declines Uniform dress code The Nazareth Area School Board of Monday rejected the idea of a uniform dress code for all the students in the Nazareth Area School District. By an 8-1 vote, the board said “no” to forming a committee that would provide ideas for the type of apparel students would be wearing during the school year. The suggestion for such a uniform dress code was made in July by school director Chris Miller. The district does have a dress code policy that is enforced by school administrators. There had been no complaints. Miller had objected to such things as baggy pants by the

boys and revealing clothing worn by girls. He also objected to sweat pants and flip-flops. What he wanted to see more were button-down shirts or polo shirts by boys and slacks. Girls should wear skirts, blouses and shined shoes, he said.

News Sermonette Pastor Daniel Lundmark Northampton Assembly of God, Northampton

Why Go To Church? A church goer wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. “I’ve gone for 30 years now,” he wrote, “and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So I think I’m wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.” This started a real controversy in the “Letters to the Editor” column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: I’ve been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!” Christian believers live in a sinful society bent on ignoring God and His ways. To counteract the continuous wearing down of their faith, believers need spiritual encouragement and support through others who “have obtained like precious faith” (2 Peter 1:1). This is a primary reason for going to church. “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering…And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:23-25). Believers are spiritually refreshed as they sing the inspiring hymns of the faith, hear the victorious testimonies of fellow-believers, “pray one for another” (James 5:16), and are nourished from the Word of God through pastors whom God has charged “to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood” (Acts 20:28).

Two Methods of Calculating College Aid

By Carrie L. Fellon, CFP®

HOROSCOPE

VIRGO--Aug. 23 to Sep. 22--If you are wrong, admit it! A simple “I’m sorry” could clear the air and restore good feel- ings. You must learn to be more tolerant. LIBRA--Sept. 23 to Oct. 22--Do something this week to make a child happy. A small gift could bring untold joy to one you love. If time permits, take a walk with a young person. SCORPIO--Oct. 23 to Nov. 22--Out of sight, out of mind. This should be your sentiments about someone whose company you do not enjoy.. SAGITTARIUS--Nov 23 to Dec. 21--Don’t place blame on someone who is not present to defend himself. You must realize that when you down- grade someone else you are degrading yourself. CAPRICORN--Dec. 22 to Jan. 19—Entertain friends this week. You have had your nose to the grindstone for too long without a pleasurable interlude. AQUARIUS--Jan. 20 to Feb. 18--Don’t lose your individuality. Share some interests with friends or mate, but also pursue some projects on your own. PISCES--Feb. 19 to March 20--Love is in the air this week. The feeling that the ills of mankind can be cured by caring overcomes you. ARIES--March 21 to April 20--You could be way off base on your assumptions this week. Someone who projects an image of shyness may turn out to be an aggressive person. TAURUS--April 21 to May 20--If you are overcome by a feeling of wanderlust, plan a short trip or a oneday outing. Get out of your rut for a short time. GEMINI--May 21 to June 20--Continue to study in order to sharpen your professional skills. Stay upto-date on a new happening in your field. CANCER--June 21 to July 22--The opportunity presents itself for you to make good use of the fine abilities you possess. LEO--July 23 to Aug. 22-You can accomplish just as much as you think you can. Work to improve your self-image. Before you can love others, you must learn to love yourself more.

Two methods of calculating financial aid eligibility face families as they enter the college aid maze. Both ultimately arrive at a dollar amount known as Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which represents the amount that a family is expected to pay for a student’s college education during the upcoming school year. The formulas used in the Federal Methodology (FM) are mandated by Congress. FM is utilized by every accredited college in the United States to determine eligibility for federal and, in most cases, state funds. It requires an annual filing of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A second approach to determining EFC, utilized by many elite private colleges that have their own money to award, is the Institutional Methodology (IM). IM requires the filing of the CSS Profile form, administered by the College Board – the same entity that provides the SAT admissions exams. Filing the FAFSA is still required if a student seeks to qualify for federal or state aid at a private school. Similarities and differences exist between both methodologies. Here are just a few: Three Similarities: 1. Income is generally the greatest determinant of aid eligibility, with emphasis placed on income earned during the “base year” – the calendar year prior to the academic year for which the family seeks aid. Thus, 2012 is the base year for a student who plans to start college in the fall of 2013. 2. Neither system cuts a family a break for consumer

debt (car loans) or for the size of their monthly mortgage payments. 3. Income is assessed using year-end data, while assets are assessed as of the date the aid forms are signed. Three Differences: 1. FM does not count home equity or the value of a family-owned business with fewer than 100 full-time employees. IM asks for home equity and the net value of any family-owned business. 2. FM parental income is counted for base year only. IM looks at parental income for base year, previous year, and upcoming year – in the case of a 2013 freshman: 2011, 2012, and 2013. 3. In the case of divorced parents, FM computes income and assets of custodial parent. IM requires an additional noncustodial parent form. In light of the above, there is no such thing as “financial aid season.” FAFSA and CSS Profile filing dates are the least ideal times to begin understanding your family’s chances for aid eligibility. Contact a college and retirement planning professional for a thorough evaluation of your unique situation, your resources, and your retirement goals so that strategies can be developed to address both of these life stages.
