Contract ok’d for park, streetscape Work at Monocacy Creek in Bath

Duck race just beats Small rainfall in Bath

The Monocacy Creek was back to normal flow despite recent heavy downpours. The great Bath duck race benefitting the Bath Farmers Market was a success this past Friday.

Volunteers placed almost 100 “ducks” in the waters and they idly floated along until reaching the finish line at the East Main Street bridge, where additional volunteers were there to scoop them up, one by one, to determine the winners. As things turned out, the first place duck went out ahead of the rest of its flock and brought home the

winning prize of $250 for Brian Radcliffe.

Trickles of rain fell at almost that moment, but it didn’t deter the crowd along the banks of the creek, eagerly waiting to see the results.

This is the rest of the winners, and the prizes they won: Second prize of a $50 U.S. Savings Bond given by First Star Bank went to Bonnie Hummer.

Multiple drug charges Against Moore couple The Northampton County Drug Task Force, in conjunction with the Colonial Regional Police, Moore Township Police, assisted by the Pennsylvania State Police emergency response team conducted an early morning raid at the home of 39-yearold Jason W. Richie at 251 Monocacy Dr., Bath.

Richie and Jamie Lynn Kinghorn, 36, of the same address were taken into custody and charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession with intent to deliv-

er the drug, and delivery of meth.

Ms. Kinghorn was also taken into custody on outstanding failure to appear warrants out of Northampton County.

Scales, packaging material, and 4.5 grams of crystal methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $1,500 were seized.

The investigation continues and additional charges are pending. Richie and Kinghorn were arraigned on Friday morning before District Judge Robert Hawke in Lehigh Township.

Bath Borough Council on Monday approved a contract with Grace Industries of East Allen Township to do work at Monocacy Creek Park and Streetscape Phase II. Borough Manager Richard Klotz said $330,000 is available in grants, although it was estimated to cost a total of $357,000 after all engineering is figured in.

The Grace Industries contract is $295,959 and will include curbs, sidewalks, paving, and street lights. The contract is subject to PennDOT approval, which is expected shortly, and the contractor was advised to begin getting in supplies. Klotz is also looking for a 42-inch rock or boulder on which a plaque can be installed for the park.

A committee composed of Council chairman Robert Fields, Carol Bear-Heckman,

and John Kearns met recently and discussed making the historic district smaller. The Historical Architectural Review Board (H.A.R.B.) will meet this month over new proposals. The form for certificate of appropriateness may be reduced to one page, after further study. Mrs. Heckman noted that realtor Patty White has been attending meetings, as well as an architectural consultant. Kearns announced that he is resigning the H.A.R.B. but will stay on until a replacement is named.

Other Matters • An E. Main St. resident complained of loud noises that apparently come from the Keystone Cement Co. in East Allen Township. Borough Manager Klotz will advise the company of the complaints.

• Fire Chief Ed Demchak announced that the annual Halloween parade will be

on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m., with a rain date of Oct. 26.

Mayor Donald Wunderler announced that Trick or Treat Night will be observed on Monday, Oct. 31 from 6-8 p.m.

• Councilwoman Jennifer George thanked the borough public works crew for cleaning up after flooding at the Bath Farmers Market. Councilwoman Heckman also thanked them for cleaning the Monocacy Creek stream bank for last Friday’s duck race.

• Mrs. Heckman said she met with State Rep. Marcia Hahn about oversize trucks coming through Bath and running up on sidewalks. A representative from PennDOT may check the situation.

Former foundry being turned Into auditorium in Cherryville In the late 1800’s, George Dieter started a blacksmith shop in Cherryville to service area farmers. Circa 1900 it was developed into an iron foundry and ownership and operations were taken over

by David Dieter. Dieter’s Foundry manufactured many different cast iron items over the years. In 1943 most of the foundry burned down. It was rebuilt in 1944 and continued in operation until it was sold in 1987 due to a strike and changing environmental laws

and emission monitoring.

Bethany Wesleyan Church purchased the property in December, 2008 from Barrett Trucking. The church was able to use the building for two years for the annual Giant Yard Sale held over the July 4th holiday. The parking lot was also a great help to alleviate Bethany’s overflow parking issues.

On July 18, demolition began on the old foundry. It took one week to reduce the building down to the steel

frame. Now most of the debris has been hauled away or recycled and Bethany is looking forward to the future use of this space, a new 1200 seat auditorium.

Although the foundry was part of Cherryville’s landscape for a very long time, the Bethany congregation hopes that people will embrace their vision of a beautiful, modern facility that will be userfriendly to this community for many years to come.

FORMER Dieter’s Foundry in Cherryville has been demolished to make way for a church auditorium. .

Pakistan

The Obama Administration’s decision to withhold 800 million dollars in our long-time annual aid to Pakistan is a momentous, possibly ominous, step in U.S. foreign relations, perhaps justified even earlier but nevertheless one which could have grim consequences.

Pakistan is a 96 percent Islamic country of over 160 million, all but a few million Muslims. More important, it’s a nation with nuclear bombs, an estimated 90 to 100, with morebeing produced every year--the only Muslim nation with nuclear weapons.

The U.S. has, in effect, bought Pakistan’s alliance with this country with two billion dollars in aid each year for over twenty years. That has also helped sustain the ruling party and government in Islamabad all these years.

But, it should be noted, that pro-western relations has its opponents and in the current Mideast struggle between Muslims and western-oriented or allied countries the U.S.-Pakistan bond has, in some ways to an extent, been threatened.

Washington must be prepared to take even more effective steps in case the prowestern government in Pakistan is overturned. Current relations are the most critical in decades.

One step which should help is for the U.S. to get out of Afghanistan. Our war there has produced the death of manyPakistanis, where our enemies enjoy hideouts, and where we, when we bomb them from above, also kill innocent Pakistanis. That is turning some Pakistanis, understandably, against the U.S.

Social Security Benefits Will Be Paid on Time Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, announced today that Social Security payments for August 3rd will be made on time and as scheduled. Payments for August 10th, 17th, and 24th also will be made as scheduled. “I am happy to announce there will be no delay in the payment of August Social Security benefits,” Commissioner Astrue said, “which

should be a relief to those people who were concerned about their benefits. I’m pleased the President and Congress were able to come together in a bipartisan fashion to avoid an interruption in payments.”

People still receiving paper checks from Social Security should consider signing up for Direct Deposit, the secure and convenient way to receive Social Security payments. All current beneficiaries must switch to electronic payments

Opinion Going to the Brink: The Aug. 2 Debt Ceiling Deadline

By Mark W. Hendrickson Some have called August 2 “Financial D-Day.” That is the date, according to Treasury Secretary Geithner, by which either Congress raises the debt ceiling or some government disbursements will cease.

Multiple proposals have been floated for budgetary reforms to be made in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. A partial list includes: Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) plan to add $4.4 trillion less to the national debt than current trends project; the GOP “Cut, Cap, and Balance” plan, which aims for $6 trillion of future spending cuts; and the so-called “Gang of Six” Plan that proposes $3.7 trillion less debt than now projected.

Whatever compromise is eventually adopted, you should be aware that the national debt will continue to grow and that the vast majority of promised spending cuts will be scheduled for after the next election, when those promises can easily be forgotten. None of the proposed reforms would reduce debt; they would merely increase it less than now planned.

Also, notice how fishy the numbers seem to be. For example, the press release for the GOP “Cut, Cap, and Balance” stipulated $111 billion of spending cuts in Fiscal Year 2012 and to cut next year’s projected $1.1-trillion deficit in half. This is the best they can do?

Democrats resist spending cuts, but massive cuts are imperative. Last year, the U.S. Treasury incurred $3.3 trillion of new debt to finance the government’s on-budget and off-budget spending. This $3.3-trillion deficit cannot be closed with taxes. The total income of Americans above the $250,000 threshold that President Obama uses to designate “rich Americans” amounts to approximately $1.4 trillion. If the government taxed it all, !

EKaround T WE Cwe still be $2 OMwould ING NEX trillion short. There literally is no other way to close the deficit than to slash federal spending drastically.

The Democrats have been particularly irresponsible in their handling of this issue.

(For the record: I publicly criticized Republicans for their overspending during the Bush-Hastert years, and I opposed both the Bush stimulus plan and Bush’s Big Bailout.)

As other commentators have observed, despite controlling both houses of Congress during President Obama’s first two years in office, the Democrats (in defiance of the law) failed to pass a budget that funded their ambitious

spending plans. President Obama himself proposed a budget earlier this year that was so out-of-touch that the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected it 97–0. Since then, the president has not proposed a single specific spending cut. In fact, at his press conference on July 11,

President Obama announced, “I’d rather be talking about … new [spending] programs” than deficit reduction.

On July 13, the president angrily told Republicans, “This [his willingness to scuttle any deal] may bring my presidenContinued on page 15

Nothing’s Secret On Social Media

By Father Steven E. Boes (NAPS)—Whatever your child puts on his or her Facebook account, Twitter or any other social media profile is public and searchable. Anything on your child’s social media accounts is open to possible public scrutiny—and it’s important that you know what your child is posting out there.

If kids are posting embarrassing pictures from the weekend or making crude comments about a friend, those pictures and comments are neither secret nor sacred.

Making decisions about what information can be shared and what should stay secret is a skill that takes time to develop. Unfortunately, many youths have not mastered this skill when it comes to using social networks. As a parent, it’s up to you to help them recognize what’s appropriate and what’s inappropriate, and then monitor their

This Week’s

messages.

Sit down with your kids and ask them what sort of things they talk about with their friends. Then ask if they would want everyone they know to overhear what they say. Explain to them that when they post something on a social network, they are making it available to anybody anywhere who has an account on that network. Most importantly, teach them that some information is worth keeping private.

When used properly, social networks can be a fun, interesting way of communicating.

It can also be a dark, dangerous place where people, including your kids, can get hurt. Take the time to do what it takes to protect and educate your kids.

• Father Boes is president and national executive director of Boys Town, which has been saving children and healing families for more than 90 years.

AARP of Pa. gives $10,000 to Second harvest

AARP Pennsylvania officials on Tuesday announced a $10,000 donation on behalf of Drive to End Hunger to the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania.

AARP and Second Harvest Food Bank officials were joined at the event by more than 30 Lehigh Valley AARP volunteers who packed food at the warehouse for distribution to local senior citizens.

Tuesday’s announcement marks the first in a series of events designed to spotlight hunger issues throughout the week preceding the Good Sam RV Insurance 500 NASCAR Race at Pocono Raceway on August 7. AARP’s Drive to End Hunger has teamed with four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Jeff Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports to raise visibility and help solve the problem of hunger in America. Fans can see Jeff Gordon’s No. 24 Chevrolet at the Shop-Rite store in Mount Pocono Thursday, August 4, or participate in the Leave

Hunger in the Dust bike ride Saturday, August 6 at Lehigh Gorge State Park. Food donations will be accepted at all events.

Every day, more than six million older people face the threat of hunger, forced to skip meals or subsist on inexpensive, poor quality food with little nutritional value.

AARP’s Drive to End Hunger is a multi-year commitment to solve the problem of hunger in older Americans. In addition to the partnership with Jeff Gordon, components of Drive to End Hunger include building awareness of the issue of senior hunger; working with national and community partners to feed hungry older Americans through food drives; generating resources for the cause through individual and corporate fundraising campaigns; local SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) outreach and enrollment assistance, and developing solutions to senior hunger through grantmaking.

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com

Neck Pain

The second most common reason for individuals seeking chiropractic care is cervicalgia, commonly known as neck pain. Know that cervicalgia doesn’t discriminate against age or gender or occupation. Seeing numerous cases I again affirm “anything can cause anything”. Motor vehicle accidents, work injuries, and sports injuries are understandable yet on many occasions patients that are otherwise healthy present with significant pain unlike anything they never had before…and for no good reason.

Understand that the cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae that have a gelatinous like disc between each that absorbs forces and stress. Exiting between each bone is a nerve that needs to travel, undisturbed, to the area it controls and communicates with. Radiology is the foremost test to initially assess the bone structures.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) more so for the disc and tissue.

Imagine for a moment just how much we move our heads around and the continuous strain the neck must endure on a daily basis. It makes sense that problems can arise. Needless to say, after you become aware of the potential for injury and the effort it takes to resolve, head stands won’t be much of a thrill anymore.

We have come to see that generally an injury to one area affects other areas. We see many patients present with degenerating spinal areas. If a disc is degenerated,

one could potentially expect inflammation in the surrounding tissue or a loss of the normal cervical curve. Or perhaps an injury to a superficial muscle which causes a severe spasm locks down the spine as well. In addition, a disc herniation can put pressure on the nearby nerve.

Again, numerous situations can arise and great care must be taken in assessment and treatment plans.

Interestingly, a spinal misalignment, which chiropractors call subluxations, can produce neck pain and problems. Should a misalignment

be causing pressure on a disc or nerve, pain and dysfunction can and many times is present. Involvement of the arm, forearm, hand, and fingers are all possibilities. Even more concerning is the potential for upper back pain that, in fact, originates from the neck.

With spinal misalignments, one could also experience headaches. A very real possibility and one I see routinely.

(Headaches are perhaps the third most common reason individuals seek conservative chiropractic care).

When you wrap your mind around the fact that all our nerves come out between openings in the spine you may start to wonder about subluxations and pinched nerves affecting distant areas.

We touched on pain into the arms but did you know that, let’s say, a compression of a nerve that comes out between the sixth and seventh cervical bone can affect thyroid function? Or that a compression of a nerve can affect the heart, diaphragm, vocals cords, esophagus, or numerous other areas?

Simply amazing.

While neck pain can be severe and debilitating, know that there is hope. Yes, healing may take time. It may take effort on both the doctor and patient alike but getting back to normal activities of daily living is worth it. My best to you.

The site currently has over 359,000 homeless pets listed, and it is updated continuously.

More than 13,500 animal welfare organizations in the U.S., Canada, and other countries post their pets on the site. Bull Run Rescue pets may be viewed at http:// www.petfinder.com/shelters/ PA783.html.

A potential adopter enters search criteria for the kind of pet he or she wants, and a list is returned that ranks the pets in proximity to the Zip code entered. Adoptions are handled by the animal placement group where the pet is housed, and each group has its own policies.

Petfinder.com was created in early 1996 as a grassroots project by Jared and Betsy Saul to end the euthanasia of adoptable pets. Since its inception, the site has facilitated approximately 20 million adoptions, making it the most life-saving initiative in animal

Marcellus Shale in Debate At PFSC Convention The issue of Marcellus Shale and the impact of drilling for natural gas on the environment will be the subject of an all-day debate during the fall convention of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs on Saturday, September 17.

Entitled Pennsylvania Outdoors in Focus: the Marcellus Shale Development and Penn’s Woods will take place in the Radisson Harrisburg Hotel at 1150 Camp Hill Bypass, Camp Hill, Pa., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The panel discussions that will be featured include: “Interaction with Marcellus Shale Development” – Communicating, working with our regulatory and industry partners as development and growth continues.

“Impacts on Penn’s Woods” – How will drilling affect your outdoor sports activities?

The forum is co-sponsored by the Keystone Energy Forum in partnership with the PFSC in conjunction with the PFSC convention that will be held there from Sept. 16 to 18.

As delegates from the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, this writer and Lee Marsh will

be attending both the convention and forum. This Friday both of us will attend the PFSC board of directors meeting in Centre County, Pa., during which Marcellus Shale is sure to be a topic, as will Sunday hunting, which we wrote about in last week’s Outdoors column.

We’ll keep our readers updated.

Marcellus Shale is a boon to the impoverished economy of residents living in that area. But there is constant worry that the fracking that takes place will pollute the waters even as far south as Northampton County. As always, there are two sides to every story, and only time will tell if the benefits exceed the negatives.

Harhart to Host Annual Senior Expo Aug. 11

Rep. Julie Harhart (R-Lehigh/Northampton) invites senior citizens, their families and caregivers to her annual Senior Expo, to be held Thursday, Aug. 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Allen Township Fire Hall in Northampton.

“Each year, hundreds of senior citizens participate in the expo to learn more about a variety of public and private resources that can help them stay happy, healthy and safe,” Harhart said. “For frequent visitors to my Senior Expo, new exhibitors are on hand each year, and I encourage all seniors to stop by and join us.”

Among the services to be offered by participating vendors include bone density testing, blood pressure screening, vision screening, balance screening, and balance assessment.

In addition, exhibitors will offer information on various services, benefits, products and programs to help senior citizens. Exhibitors include private agencies as well as local, state and federal governments.

Refreshments will be served, and door prize winners will be notified the following day.

The fire hall is located at 3530 Howertown Road in 1. Where is the National Northampton.

Library of Medicine?

2. From what are you if you have Lehigh Valley Hospital suffering mogigraphia?

Answers: Summer Festival 1. Bethesda, Md. The 50th annual LVH2. Writer's cramp.

Muhlenberg Hospital Summer Festival will be held on the hospital grounds located at 2545 Schoenersville Road, Bethlehem on August 17 thru 20. Festival hours are weekdays 5-10:30 p.m. and Saturday 3 to 10:30 p.m. There are four days of fun for everyone.

Microwave Tips Fish is one food which often can’t be improved for the diet by microwaving.

One or two servings of fish per week is advised. More may not increase benefits.

Salmon is first choice--wild Pacific Salmon. Some diet advisers say canned Salmon is almost as healthful as the fresh. No microwaving usually needed.

Financial Freedom Seminar At Assembly Of God

Videos of the Financial Freedom Seminar with Jim Sammons will be shown at Northampton Assembly of God, 3449 Cherryville Rd, Northampton. at no cost the next 20 Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. beginning August 3.

As a young man, Jim Sammons had one goal in life--to become financially independent by the age of 30. At 29, his financial world collapsed, and he experienced pressures so overwhelming that he could not work, eat, or sleep.

It was then that he learned how to apply Biblical principles to his life, his family, and his business. After years of thrilling results, the Institute in Basic Life Principles produced the Financial Freedom Seminar with Jim relating what God’s Word says about finances and giving practical direction to thousands who listened in rapt attention as he shared insights from his experiences. The seminar is now available via video. Top-

ics covered include How to get out of debt, How to deal with compromises, How to make wise investments, How to build the spirit of a marriage, How to teach principles to children, How to work with people, and other skills that are helpful for becoming a successful person, marriage partner, parent, and financial steward.

Ten sample video clips of Jim Sammons speaking in the Financial Freedom Seminar can be viewed at: http:// iblp.org/iblp/discipleship/ financialfreedom/overview/ highspeed/01.html Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark invites the public to attend.

By Greg Miller

Prospector finds true wealth during Gold Rush The summer sun blazed a fiery trail across the California sky during the 1849 Gold Rush.

“You’re trying to outdo yourself, aren’t you, Mr. Sun?,” shouted Dan, who was prospecting for gold.

Although he didn’t verbalize his thoughts, the sun kept shining his intense rays in every direction, and Dan thought he felt a sudden surge in the temperature, as perspiration profusely poured from his body.

“Okay, Mr. Sun,” said Dan. “I apologize for being a bit testy, but these warm days have me a bit hot under the collar, if you know what I mean.”

“I understand, Dan,” said the sun. “A lot of folks are unhappy with this weather. But in the many thousands of years of doing my job, I’ve found that sometimes people are hard to please. It’s either too hot or too cold, too much snow or not enough rain, etc., etc.”

The sun then told Dan that only the Almighty Creator controlled the weather. “I’m just one of the servants the Sovereign Lord uses to accomplish His will throughout the universe,” said the sun. “The stars, the moon, all the planets, and all the galaxies also accomplish God’s ordained purpose.”

Dan’s work day was coming to an end, so he told the sun, “Thanks a lot for keeping me company every day while I’m prospecting for gold.”

“You’re quite welcome, My Friend,” said the sun.“Thank you for being such a good sport when I have to add a few extra rays of sun to your day.”

The sun had finished his chores in Dan’s part of the world and began his duties on the other side of the globe.

The moon popped into view, ready for his duties on the second shift.

Dan and the moon exchanged greetings, and Dan entered his tent, exhausted from his long day of digging for gold.

Dan had traveled from his east coast home about two years earlier. He had left his wife, Dora, and daughter, Darla, at home and headed west to search for gold in California. Since he had staked his claim, Dan had amassed a small fortune in gold, but he had come to realize his true riches did not come from underneath the surface of the earth.

Before Dan drifted into a deep sleep, he wrote a note to Dora. “I love you very much,” Dan wrote. “I came to California to look for gold, but since I’ve been here I have discovered that gold and silver are not a true indicator of wealth. I’m sending enough money for you and Darla to join me here. And when you arrive, I’ll have all the true wealth I’ll ever need - my family!”

cy down, but I won’t yield.”

One would hope that, instead of couching this in terms of re-election prospects, the president of the United States would spare the American people a wrenching economic upheaval.

Obama knows that no president can spend funds that Congress has not raised by taxes or authorized the Treasury to borrow. As president, he should have in place contingency plans with clearly defined priorities (e.g., interest on the national debt so there is no default; Social Security, defense, whatever) for deciding what federal spending would be continued or discontinued if Congress said “Enough!” to runaway spending and refused to raise the debt ceiling. Whenever the debt-ceiling issue is temporarily patched over in the coming days or weeks, Congress should hold hearings to ferret out the truth.

Did President Obama have a contingency plan in place? If he didn’t, he was derelict in duty; if he did, his plan could prove useful in identifying what federal spending is nonessential. And was cutting off Social Security payments really near the top of his list, as the president implied when he raised the prospect of

THE HOME NEWS those checks not going out on August 3, or was that a cynical attempt to scare senior citizens?

Another unseemly aspect of this ongoing drama is how the administration managed to postpone “Financial D-Day” to August 2, even though the debt ceiling was first reached in May. Secretary Geithner tapped the retirement funds of federal employees. Naturally, those funds (over $100 billion) will have to be repaid.

As he did by tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the president’s administration has misused important reserves set aside for future needs for (in my view) political advantage.

Bottom line: Whatever deal is struck now will not solve our long-term fiscal problems. The ongoing political maneuvering has given us glimpses of how sick our political system is.
