Study of economics Featured at school

Students in Mrs. Karen Braun’s third grade class at Sacred Heart School in Bath concluded their study of economics with a Marketplace activity at the school. The children created goods, such as bookmarks and homemade treats, to sell to the other classes in the school, as well as to visiting parents and

grandparent.

One student, Mary Kate O’Reilly, even provided a service – a five-minute piano lesson. In addition to learning about income, expenses, and supply and demand, the children were able to donate over $400 in profits to the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Memphis, TN.

Letters from our Readers The Purpose of the Bath Museum To the Editor: In reference to an article which appeared in the February 10, 2011 edition of The Home News, the Bath Museum Executive Committee would like to clarify for Solicitor Blake Marles, Bath Borough Council, and the public that the Bath Museum was established 10 years ago for the sole purpose of preserving the history of Bath.

Memorabilia and other artifacts were generously donated to the Museum by people who valued those items and wished to have them permanently displayed.

These artifacts will indeed continue to be exhibited. The Museum has NO intentions of selling any of the treasured collection.

A Significant Step To the Editor: At the Moore Township’s meeting Feb. 5th the supervisors approved the open space ranking systems for farmland preservation and sensitive natural area preservation, as recommended by the Farmland Preservation Board and the Environmental Advisory Council.

This is a significant step in protecting what so many feel is important in the township, open space.

The Farmland Preservation Board and EAC spent many hours working on the ranking systems. Some members went to meetings in other townships and sought out information so as to grasp how open space preservation works. The open space survey returned by residents was used as a guide in completing the ranking systems with the top three important features being (1) water quality, (2) farmland and (3) wooded

I attended an Allentown Recreational Senior Teen Basketball game between two very good teams in a battle for first place in an age 16-18 boys basketball league as a sports writer. One team has been undefeated for three years, the other was an upstart team that had moved over from playing in the Lehigh Valley Boys & GirlsClub League, which ended up being disbanded after a Bethlehem team used a player that had been a P.I.A.A player from Freedom; another used a player that was 20 years old, a no no in most of the recreational leagues in the area, The two Bethlehem teams didn't want to remedy the problem, so the Carolina Blue and White team entered the Allentown League and the once beaten team had no problems until they took on the defending champions, the Boys in Black.

The Boys in Black head coach told Carolina Blue and White coach “We're going to kill you" as Coach Makovsky tried to make small talk before the game, for all of the spectators to hear. He belittled the players, "Don't you know where to warm up and sit at?," Was this a psyche job from an experienced coach? I think not.

The Carolina and White team coach forgot the basketball and the defending champs wouldn't lend the second place team a basketball. Wow, a take no prisoners attitude before the game even starts.

Boys in Black had a 19 point lead at half-time, with the Black team belittling the Carolina and White, which came

areas.

The preservation or easement purchase of open space, farmland or sensitive natural area permanently protects the farmland or the environmentally sensitive area. Unlike zoning, which may be changed by the supervisors.

Also unlike zoning, the preservation or easement purchase is voluntary on the part of landowners. Even with restrictive zoning, land could be developed to its legal limit and the environmental sensitive integrity could be lost.

The intent of zoning may be good but it’s never in stone.

The township now has tools and funds to preserve some land of qualified property owners as the residents voted to do in the fall of 2005 open space referendum.

The Moore Township Environmental Advisory Council has some vacancies at this time. All members are volunteers and appointed by the township supervisors.

News Sermonette The Rev. Frances Merkel

Pastor, Christ U.C.C. Church, Bath

Protective Love “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing.”

(Matthew 23:37) There was an article in the National Geographic Magazine several years ago that provided a penetrating picture of God’s protective love.

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up the mountain to assess the fire’s damage. One ranger found a bird that had literally petrified in ashes, perched like a stature on the ground at the base of a badly burned tree.

Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, the ranger knocked over the bird with a stick. When he struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother’s wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of the impending disaster, had gathered her offspring to the base of the tree; and she had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety, but had refused to abandon her babies.

When the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she was willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, Who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God in whom I trust.”

For he will save you from the fowler’s snare And from the deadly pestilence; He will cover you with his feathers, And under his wings you will find refuge; And His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of the night, Nor the arrow that flies by day, Nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness Nor the plague that destroys at midday. (Psalm 91:16) Being loved this much should make a difference in our lives. Remember the One who loves you the most, and be different because of it.

Rains over Sunday night into Monday almost washed away all that was left of the snows we’ve been accumulating all winter. The grounds are soaked, and maybe with some sun here and there they’ll dry out. Spring can’t be all that far away, actually on the 20th of this month of March. . . .Monday was the 28th of February, and for those whose birthday is on the 29th, well, they’ll hafta wait some more to celebrate. . . . Power went out for more than an hour on Monday in some places around the old berg. Either a tree fell down or somebody hit a pole.

Maybe it was the wind. Didn’t hear what it was, but (pardon the pun) we are powerless when that happens. We depend so much on electricity, it’s unreal. . . . .Looks like somebody covered up that painted slogan about things today, such as the liberal media, down on South Walnut Street. . . . That café up along 512 has opened and it looks like they’re doing a good business. . . .Gas prices are sure shooting up. The way it’s going, they’ll be at $4.00 before we know it. Reckon it’s time to shorten our trips, or make less of ‘em. . . .I hear a Nazareth business is back on its feet again after having a flooded basement that ruined part of the first floor. . . . Read something this week that when students get into music at school, they tend to be better students with the books, too.

So it’s a good idea, parents, to get your son or daughter involved in the school band or playing music in general, starting at lower grades. It will help make them do better with all their other learning. Never thought about that before, but it makes sense. . . . Sun came out on Tuesday.

Now maybe it might even warm up, and make any of those early robins feel better as they fly in. . . . .While on the subject of birds, I heard that there’s a big problem with ferrel cats, and that on the national scene they’re killing millions of songbirds. Cats are all right, but the ferrel variety seems to be the critters.

Me, I love a good dog better than a cat. But that’s just my opinion. For those who love cats, well they purr a lot, and can be friendly, too. . . . . Gotta go. Elmira must be sensing spring early. She’s getting into the cleaning mood more than usual, and wants me to go buy some supplies. Have a great week, gang!

I had the chance to speak to an all around good guy coach and Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Easton, Dean Young, a 2010 Inductee into the Lehigh Valley Recreational Sports Hall of Fame.

He believes a lesson can be learned from any situation and I shared this with him that the Carolina Blue and White chestbumped and jumped around on the court. He said, "Players should see other people's points of views, that team was just beaten." I recall what a former Notre Dame and South Carolina football coach, who disdained celebrations on the field, would say, "Act like you've been there before!" The worst part of this story was that a 60 something coach was followed out of Trexler Middle School by three Boys in Black players who threatened to beat him up.

There was more on Monday. One of the Boys in Black basketball players threatened to beat up the two best Carolina Blue players before the rematch at Trexler this Saturday

Each winner will be responsible for their own transportation to Harrisburg.

“Entries may be handwritten or typed,” added Hahn.

The students should submit an original idea for proposed legislation, explained in writing in as much detail as possible, but should not be more than two pages in length.”

The deadline to submit an entry is Tuesday, March 15. Please mail entries to Hahn’s office, located at 354 West Moorestown Road, Northampton PA 18064.

Good Shepherd participates in Stroke survivor research Rehabilitation can help stroke survivors regain the function necessary to eat, walk and talk. For some stroke survivors, functional impairments – while manageable – may be permanent. To help determine how much functional change is significant for stroke survivors undertaking physical therapy, Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network recently participated in research conducted by Clarkson University of Potsdam, New York.

Good Shepherd’s clinicians worked with George D. Fulk, Ph.D., of Clarkson, to have 34 Good Shepherd stroke patients participate in the study over a period of one year. The results of the research study

recently were published in the November/December 2010 edition of Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation, a peer-reviewed professional journal.

“For a medical professional, such as a physical therapist, it’s easy to determine how much function a patient regains throughout the course of therapy,” says Sue Golden, PT, director of Neurorehabilitation Therapies.

“Improvements in range of motion, strength or endurance can be easily measured.

But how much functional improvement is needed before it becomes meaningful to a patient? How much strength or endurance must a patient regain for it to have a real impact on his or her life? These

Good Shepherd clinicians and research coordinator worked with Dr. Fulk to pinpoint the minimal amount of change that patients must see before they feel their lives have been significantly improved by therapy.

Each patient who participated in the study completed the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS-16), a questionnaire designed to assess the functional outcomes needed to impact quality of life. The research showed that a 10- to 14-point improvement on the SIS-16 represented meaningful change for most people. In other words, this is the point when patients believe their lives were improved substantially by therapy.

BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷ Albert Pujols, who many rate as the best player in Major League baseball, didn’t do his reputation with fans any good when he asked for a ten year contract, paying him over $22 million per year. And when the club offered less, he

cancelled negotiations until after the end of the season.

The best contract in baseball is that of Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees--10 years and $275 million. But the Yankees in New York have more money to spend on salaries than the Cardinals--in a larger city.

Cardinal officials say they still hope to sign Pujols after the World Series, when he says he will discuss offers, perhaps from other clubs as well as the Cardinals.

The contract St. Louis offered Pujols was for 8 or 9 years, understandably, total salary less than $200 million.

Cub Pack 33 awards Given at B&G banquet

By STEVE LaROSA Cubmaster pack 33

Most Cub Scouts celebrate Scouting Anniversary Week with a celebration called the Blue and Gold Banquet. In nearly all packs, the annual banquet, which is often the pack meeting for February, is the highlight of the year. It brings families together for an evening of fun and inspiration.

The purpose of the Blue and Gold Banquet is to celebrate the pack's anniversary, Scouts earn their rank badge, or Arrow of Light (the highest award in Cub Scouts) , and cross over to Boy Scouts, recognize pack leaders and other adults who have been instrumental in the pack's success, and inspire the leaders, Scouts, and parents.

Pack 33 enrolls boys from 1st grade to 5th grade and meets Friday nights at Christ UCC Church in Bath. The pack has been chartered for over 50 years. This year’s banquet was held on Friday in the church. The opening ceremony was performed by the scouts, and parents, and the evening’s blessing was given

by Pastor Fran Merkel. The meal was planned and served

by Lynne Auger and other banquet committee members, and parents.

Entertainment was provided by a volunteer team from Air Products, which held an hour long liquid nitrogen

demonstration. Thanks are extended to Air Products for the fantastic demonstration, which all enjoyed.

Awards ceremonies were led by Cubmaster Steve LaRoza, and Assistant Cubmaster Barbara Wetherhold.

Ceremonies included: Bobcat, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of light.

The parents of the Webelos 2 group presented their sons with their career arrows, which represent all of each boy’s achievements in all their years of Cub Scouting.

At that time the cross over ceremony was held to cross seven new Boy Scouts to each of their new troops.

Awards David Mosey received his religion awards for Catholic faith.

Rank badges were as follows: Tiger - Logan Bauer, Andy Collins, Billy Collins, Keith Deegan, Zachary Janes, Robert Jenkin, Tristan Putnam, and Brian Six Wolf - Ryan Auger, Lukas Connolly, Colin Davidson, Michael Jenkins, Cole Kiefer, Nolan Mohery, Muhamed Moussa, Nicholas Muschlitz, Joseph Rodriguez, Edward Wambold, and Adam Wetherhold Bear - Jack Alleshouse, Robert Drosnock, and Jacob Galle Webelos - Jacob Auger,

Harhart introduces Resolution calling For slate study Rep. Julie Harhart (RNorthampton/Lehigh) recently introduced a resolution calling on the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to conduct a thorough study of Pennsylvania’s slate industry, specifically for the purpose of seeking ways to use slate waste for highway construction and civil engineering.

“Pennsylvania is endowed with an active slate mining industry, but it is weakened by the failure to find adequate uses for the waste byproducts produced by mining,” Harhart said. “The aim of this study is to examine the potential of slate waste and use that information to harness its benefits for the economy of Pennsylvania.”

Slate waste is a potentially effective material for a variety of applications that use crushed rock and/or conventional aggregate materials, including highway construction and civil engineering uses.

The study would examine technical, environmental and economic factors associated with the application of slate waste in addition to the use of slate waste in other states.

Are you tired of your plastic garbage bag slipping down into your can? Here’s a neat little trick to keep the bag securely in place: cut off the elastic top from an old pair of control-top panty hose. You have now made an extra-large “rubber band” that can be stretched around the rim of your trash can to hold the lip of the plastic garbage bag in place!

And if you have a cat in the house, cover the bottom of your trash bag with about 1 inch of clean kitty litter to absorb grease and moisture that causes odors!

This year marks the beginning of a national four-year commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Musically, the war led to the creation of numerous compositions for brass and community bands. In the decade before the war broke out, many communities in the United States, including Nazareth, formed a community band to provide entertainment and a social outlet. When the Civil War began, many local regiments of soldiers were recruited. Each regiment required a band for communication between soldiers and to improve morale. Many of the musicians from the community bands joined regimental bands, and composers created music for these new groups.

The Civil War tradition of marches, quicksteps, and music to remind the soldiers of home developed into an important, and often overlooked, musical genre. Sunday’s concert includes examples of all of these, including a march performed for the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States on March 4, 1861; marches and a quickstep by prolific Civil War-era composer Claudio Grafulla, and a ballad by Stephen Foster.

Giving yourself the Gift of Yoga The Benefits of Yoga (part 4 of 4)

By Juanita Carra-Budzek RN, RYT

In our last article we discussed the practices that encompass the system of Hatha yoga. Since postures/asana are first and foremost in Hatha Yoga, we’ll start with their benefits. As will any form of exercise, the postures create good balance, proper alignment and proper function of all bodily systems. They affect circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, reproductive, urinary, digestive, muscular and nervous systems. Asana also tones the organs and muscles plus much more.

For example, when we assume or engage in the seated spinal twist, also known as the half lord of the fishes pose, (Ardha Matsyendrasana) in Sanskrit, we twist the spine.

This lengthens and aligns it, bringing the blood pressure and pulse into a normal range with regular practice.

The twisting motion and frontal compression created also promotes proper digestion in addition to stretching the hips and torso. All of which stimulates the nerves extending from the spine, creating a calming affect. An added bonus is your awareness of your own posture, especially if you tend to slouch, you’ll feel a noticeable more upright and comfortable body.

Poses that are done belly down on the floor, such as the half locust or (Ardha Sala-

basana) stimulate digestion, enhance reproductive health, stimulate kidney function and the adrenal glands, which energizes you and also alleviates that low-grade stress we’re all so familiar with, called “fight of flight.” Last but certainly not least, the poses stretch and strengthen the muscles, depending on which poses you are doing and how you are doing them.

Breathing or Pranayama can be done separately from the poses and also with them, creating a flow of movement and air, which is a harnessing of the vital force. Many of the breathing techniques that are meant to be done separately can energize or awaken you, relax and help you sleep, create heat, cool or purge you.

Furthermore, some are meant to balance out the affects of the poses and the other breathing techniques. It’s a science and an art.

Meditation, on the other hand, is about quieting the mind while focusing on one thing, and drawing your senses away from internal and external distractions. By far the most difficult of all the practices of Yoga is Meditation.

Look at how multitasking has become the norm. Through dedicated practice meditation brings deep self-awareness and expansion of your self.

All of these practices are not meant to create perfection of anything, but rather to groom the body mind and emotions in such a way that they are free to experience the self and natural world. Yoga means “yoke” or unite. So the deepest intention of Yoga is to create a union or unity of our own separated parts and our separation from the world.

It is certainly worth the time and effort to find the joy and beauty in store for you. Thank you!
