Dedicated red maple tree has bag to keep it watered.

Two red maple trees were dedicated on Thursday, July 12 in memory of deceased members of the Bath Lions Club and Bath Lioness Club.

They were planted at Carl Rehrig Park by borough road crew personnel, with the specimen selection made by members of Borough Council’s parks committee.

Brief remarks were made

by Past District Governor William Halbfoerster, Jr., who said the trees are a “living memorial, adding beauty

to this park for many years to come.”

He paid tribute to the deceased members, who devoted many years of service to their community and to the clubs, serving the needs of the disadvantaged. Especially did he remember his late wife, Anna, who died on July 28, 2001. The first Bath Lioness, she started the club with her husband after years of helping in Lions projects.

She was a devoted wife and mother, and helped her hus-

Trees dedicated to deceased club members, planted at Bath park

Discussions lag on over “Welcome” signs in Lehigh Tp.

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Five pages of Lehigh Township Supervisors’ minutes from the June 26 meeting extended into a second meeting on July 10 and will be continued on July 24. The issue: Whether to allow a business to post their events on the “Welcome to Lehigh Township” signs.

It was on June 26 that Woodstone Golf Course owner Bruce Lack provided a $10,000 check to promote the business on the sign, refurbishing and maintaining the signs and areas around them, while providing updates on family oriented offerings at the Danielsville country club.

There were differences of opinion then and there are now.

A Woodstone representative this past Tuesday told the board they had no hidden agenda and didn’t want to be controversial. “Let’s work together and give visitors a reason to enjoy our township,” he told the Supervisors, with vice chairman Sandra HopContinued on page 9

Prayer was offered by The Rev. Jay R. Wetzel, and “Taps” was played on his trumpet by

Bath Mayor Donald L. Wunderler.

The Bath Lions Club was chartered on March 16, 1928 and the Bath Lioness Club on May 8, 1981.

Taking part in the dedication were Jack Metcalf, Mar-

Outdoors :: By “Hobby”

Jr. Conservation School Open in Its 31st Year Now celebrating its 31st year, the Northampton County Junior Conservation School began this past Sunday, July 15 and will continue through Sunday, July 22, based at the 4-H Center in Bushkill Township.

More than 20 students are enrolled once again in learn-

ing the values of conservation and preserving the environment, a lesson that has been taught to hundreds of students aged 14 through 17 since the school started back in 1981.

As has always been the case, it’s hot, but the boys and girls are faring very well, and

are well fed.

After they got to know each other through action socialization, the youths were led by camp director Andy Curtis in how to do good journals of the experiences and activities they have this week. All of the students had notebooks so they could record what is happening and what they are learning about conservation that could help them in the future with environmental science and biology.

In that Sunday afternoon session under their huge white and yellow tent, Curtis told about the book written

by E. O. Wilson, an authority on the subject of ecology.

And he remarked about two employees of the Environmental Education Center at Jacobsburg, who each year volunteer their time – Rick Wiltraut, whose specialty is ornithology (birds) and Bill Sweeney, who knows everything about plants. Then the youths were given bio poems, in which they would name an animal or other creature, how they relate to each other, what they love or feel, what they need or fear, and where they live. From their observational notes, students guessed what it was.

Traveling by bus, or at the center, they’ve been getting hands-on experience in the outdoors. On Monday they went to Little Gap and studied the ecology of Kittatiny Ridge, learned a lesson on air quality, toured the Chrin landfill, got a perspective on trapping from Steve Wentzel, a member of Pa. Trappers District 10, and heard from Game Commission WCO Brad Kreider.

Tuesday took the students to Grand Central grasslands, studied wetlands ecology at Minsi Lake and Bear Swamp,

ing an exchange student from France. Welcome to America!! . . . . With the harvest season underway, lots more produce to buy these Fridays down at the farmers market. I’ll be looking for sweet corn. . . . Have a good weekend, and keep cool and hydrated.

Jr. Conservation School The weather was hot, but not that bad, so that folks had a great time this past weekend at the Catholic church picnic here in town, over in Northampton at the Community Days fair, and up at the church in Moorestown for their blueberry festival. I see that the Kreidersville church is gonna have a peach festival this Saturday, so you won’t wanta miss that either. . . .Bath Fire Social Hall is having a motorcycle run and shindig down at the club this Saturday, which should be fun. . . .

Here we are in the middle of July, so it’s only a short time until Bath really celebrates for our 275th anniversary. The committee has spent a lotta months working on all the details, so we’re looking forward to a great time in the old berg. . . . I see Bath and Nazareth are in the Legion playoffs again.

I’m writing this just as it’s getting started, so I can’t tell you who won the championship. I just hope it’s Bath. As they always say, “May the best team win!” Bath won the first game, so I hope they kept up their winning ways. . . . I didn’t know it till I saw in the paper

that Katie Prutzman, who was hurt when she wrapped her car around a telephone pole up at the Moore township elementary school, was headed home from the Wigs for Kids event down in Bath that Saturday afternoon. I hope she’s getting well. . . .My sympathies to Mike and Kathy Reph on the loss of Kathy’s mom, Eleanor. . . . Next Friday the 27th will be the farmers market’s great duck race in the Monocacy Creek. The water level will probably be what it was for the Republican Club’s cup and duct tape race – slow, with rocks showing. We’ve had some rain at night, but not much, so the creeks and rivers are getting lower. It’s been so dry, the crops are getting parched like the grass in our yards. If it keeps up, we’ll be seeing the “no burning” signs again because of a drought.

It’s nice to see the sun every day, but there needs to be some kinda balance with rain once in a while. The swimmers must be enjoying it anyhow. . . .Gas prices were down, but are creeping upward again. . . . Alan and Jennifer George and their daughter are host-

Jacobsburg Park, hear about the Northampton County Conservation District, tour a local cement plant, and then tomorrow night have a covered dish supper with their families at the 4-H Center. After doing some skits to show what they learned, along with their counselors and programmers, they’ll have a wildlife rehabilitation program.

Saturday morning, the students will head over to Keystone Rod & Gun Club in Bath where they will participate in shooting events, under the strict eye of sportsmen volunteers who teach skill and safety. The rest of the day

SPECIALS GOOD 7/19/12 TO 7/25/12

THE HOME NEWS will be devoted to entomology (bugs); dedicating themselves to personal action and commitment, and then after a chicken barbecue dinner, debating issues and learning about environmental careers.

Several of my grandchildren have launched their careers in the environment and the National Park Service after attending this school.

Everything winds up on Sunday with a sun ceremony and, of course, camp cleanup, because coming soon will be the annual 4-H Fair at the center.

Unburden the Body-Part 2

Our last article brought forth the concept that any real chance of healing disease MUST take into account the burdens which have been place upon our bodies and removing them. Does this sound far-fetched to you? It shouldn’t.

For our discussion, think of burdens as being anything that makes your body react in a defensive posture. I believe it is these chronic burdens that the body can deal with for only so long before it starts “losing the battle”, thereby disease starts manifesting. Burdens are numerous and can be generalized to the population as a whole and specific to each person as well given exposures and even geographical location.

As a general population, we are all exposed to pesticides,

heavy metals, environmental toxins and even magnetic fields. It’s not for debate anymore. I would argue that even our sanitized drinking water with fluoride additives is a bodily poison that is burdening us yet let’s talk about that issue some other time……

Specific burdens can be the mercury in your fillings, the pot of coffee you drink per day, smoke inhalation, the sugar laden food, lack of sleep, broken relationships, etc. The list can be long and widespread. The point here is that each and every one of us is burdened in some fashion.

Some more than others.

It is interesting that each of us respond differently to the burdens placed on our bodies. Some handle it, while others develop disease such as cancers, autoimmune con-

ditions, diabetes, gout, anxieties, asthma, joint pain, gastrointestinal problems, and so many others. We don’t have all the answers, yet it is fairly obvious to me that addressing these burdens can potentially change health in a dramatic fashion. I am not embellishing here.

I believe the concept of cleansing and detoxifying the body was born out of the realization that we need to unburden our bodies for optimum health. Now that’s great but how does a sixty five year old female unburden her body?

Does she follow the same approach as a thirty something year old female? Maybe the seniors main burden was her exposure to the zinc fields up in Palmerton whereas the thirty-something is utilizing plastic containers, leeching PBA’s into her blood stream and affecting her hormones.

Or for that matter, an estrogen burden that is leading up to breast cancer concerns some ten years in the future.

Maybe bowel cleanses like a coffee enema should be considered. How about a urinary tract “scrub brushing”, steam rooms, laser saunas, detox foot bath? Quite frankly I don’t know and neither does anybody else, until that person is in front of you and you create a logical approach that makes sense.

I have seen many avenues to healing and unburdening the body is and always will be the first step. I didn’t say it was the easiest or most successful in immediately suppressing symptoms. I said it is always the first step. When you begin to unburden the body, you could feel lousy, awful, maybe a lot worse. This doesn’t mean unburdening is the wrong thing for you to consider. We may just need a gentler approach and more time. We can’t be scared into doing nothing and continuing the burden and suffering.

On Thursday, August 16th from 3:00 to 4:00 pm, I am having a free seminar on unburdening your body. Understand that this frank discussion may just change your life or someone you love. Clearly, this is the right time of year and the right time to discuss as we begin to get back to basics for the fall. Of course our clinic has only so many chairs.

You are welcome to stand yet I would prefer having a few relaxing seminars rather than one big one. So please call and reserve your spot today. My best to you now and years to come.

in N o seyNaza reth

Dear Nazareth, You are an amazing community! Where else could a person go and celebrate July 4th by participating in a marching Kazoo Parade?

There must have been 300 people of all ages! Everyone was dressed in patriotic red, white, and blue, with additional decorated hats, wagons, bikes, strollers, sunglasses, jewelry and of course they were tuning up their kazoos!

Gardening Tips of the week From Glenmar Nursery

Fish & Pond Tip: Eliminate Excess Nutrients ~ If sun and nutrients are available, algae will grow in your water. There are many different approaches for preventing algae. We suggest adding in good bacteria such as Microbe-Lift or Strata bacterial products that colonize in your pond and consume nutrients in your water.

Lilies & Lotus ~ These plants must be fertilized once a month to keep them blooming continuously throughout the season.

Garden Tip: Roses ~ Fertilize each month throughout the summer. Also, they should be served in the U.S. Air Force.

What he shared was very inspiring and made me proud to live in this country. The Dream Kids sang beautiful, patriotic songs and asked all veterans who have served our country to come forward. It was a very emotional moment as about 30 men and women came and were given an American flag and were thanked personally for their service! Make a plan next year to come to this wonderful event.

--Last week I had some time downtown and noticed a sign at a hair salon that said “Walk In’s Welcomed.” I needed a haircut, so I entered Shear Envy (108 S. Main St.) and the owner Tara was able to fit me in.

I was very pleased with the time she took to learn my hair texture and ask me a lot of questions to my preferences.

She had some great input about how to update my style so I was ready for a change! When I first arrived I noticed that a woman had gone into another part of the salon, and when I saw her again she had a beautiful tan!

Tara has someone come in and offer custom spray tanning. The woman told me she was going on a cruise and wanted to have that “summery look.” She said it lasts a week and when it slowly fades she has tanned naturally from the sun!

Ready for some lunch, I went to NorFay Café (47 S. Main

St.), a charming, quaint café specializing in Mediterranean cuisine. I chose the NorFay Wrap that is made with garlic shrimp and artichokes. It was delicious! They also make their own potato chips and homemade baklava! Yes, there is heaven on Main Street! (The breakfast menu looks inviting; I will sweet-talk a neighbor into coming with me next time. You can have baklava for breakfast too!)

Herbs to Your Success (35 Belvidere St.) was just around the corner and a short walk down the block. I have been curious about this shop with the cute summer theme on the windows. Vanessa is the owner and she took time to explain that her passion for Herbs to Your Success focuses on a person’s health and well being. She let me try out the toning tables and I can see how a person could benefit. Massage is offered, and weight control education and products. I was especially interested in her array of herbs. I couldn’t resist the lovely fragrant lotions and purchased “Almond Blossom.”

I discovered a bottle of Watkins Pure Vanilla; they have been in business since 1868! Years ago I had bought an old 1930’s Watkin’s cookbook that I still cook from today, ..what fun!

the head of Jake Tone in left field to open the 6th, but was thrown out at the plate when Jake Tone threw the ball to infielder Pat Donnelly, as Garzillo raced around the bases, failing to see the coach’s stop sign at third. Donnelly made a perfect throw to catcher James Bertolotti and he tagged Garzillo out in a cloud of dust.

Game two was played on Tuesday in Nazareth with Pete Daland the starting pitcher for Bath. If a third game is necessary, the action would return to Bath on Wednesday night.

(Any action after Monday will be reported in next week’s issue, since it is after press time.)

How They Got There Leading up to the championship series, this was the action by both teams in their quarterfinal and semifinal playoff games.

Bath Over Easton 9-0 and 14-2 Bath completed its first round of action in the NorCo playoffs by beating Easton, 9-0, after winning the first game of a best-of-three quarter-final series, 14-2. In that second game, Ryan Brong went 2-for2 with a pair of RBIs and Jake Tone had 2-for-3, also with two RBIs. Pete Daland was the winning pitcher for Bath, giving up only four hits, while Bath had nine.

Bath Over Roseto 4-1 and 7-4 On Thursday night, Bath began its semi-final round with Roseto after the latter had defeated Palmer in a pair of quarter-final contests. Losing 1-0 at the end of four innings, and held to only three hits by big Ryan Pysher, Bath suddenly erupted in the 5th inning for four runs and won 4-1. Roseto had a couple spectacular catches in the early going, one a sinking line drive to left that the leftfielder dove for and caught with the ball showing as a snow cone. The other was a ball hard hit to third base that was caught at the fielder’s shoe tops.

Bath’s pitcher, Ed Albertson, meanwhile, was throwing strikes and had six to his credit before the 5th (nine in all). Albertson played a part in the winning rally, grounding out but collecting an RBI in the process. The inning started with a walk to Jim Sawyer, and he went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Tom Epsaro, and moved ahead on a balk

by Pysher, and scored on Albertson’s groundout. Ryan Santoro then dropped his second bunt single of the game, Jake Tone and Pat Donnolly followed with singles, and Bath had its four runs. Albertson loaded the bases in the 7th, but got out of it unscathed for the victory. Roseto’s lone run came in the 4th as Tanner Brescancine was hit by a pitch,

Bath whips Easton, Roseto in Legion Baseball; Meeting Nazareth for title

Bath (top-seeded at 22-3) and Nazareth (second seeded at 21-5) began their best-ofthree series for the Northampton County American Legion League Baseball League championship on Monday in Bath, with Bath winning 3-2.

Jim Sawyer struck out seven Nazareth batters and ignited the winning rally in the 5th inning with a booming triple to left field. Bath opened the scoring in the 1st inning on a hit batsman and a pair of singles, good for one run. But Nazareth bounced back to tie the score at 1-1 in the 2nd on a double to left, with the runner advancing to 2nd on a wild pitch and scoring on a

wild throw home from third base. A double play ended the threat as Sawyer caught a line drive on the mound.

Nazareth went up 2-1 in the 3rd on a single, walk and an error. Two more innings left Nazareth without scoring, Bath then erupted with long hits. After a single by Ryan Brong and an error put him on 2nd, Sawyer tripled to left field and scored the winning run on a fly ball to left.

Another triple followed by Robert Bertolotti, but he was stranded on a ground out.

Bath had four errors, two of them figuring in Nazareth runs.

Mike Garzillo tripled over

GRANDSTAND at Ciff Cowling Field was filled Monday night.

They saw plenty of action as Bath won 3-2.

Brett Wagner singled to right, Brescancine advanced to 3rd when Pysher hit into a double play, and Anthony Martino singled to right.

Game two was played at Roseto on Friday, with Bath finishing the sweep with a 7-4 victory. James Bertolotti was the winning pitcher and also doubled with the bases loaded in the 2nd inning to drive in two runs. His twin brother, Robert Bertolotti, was the catcher in this game, and he went 3-for-3 and had three RBIs. John Tone scored in the 1st inning, racing in from third base as James Bertolotti hit a foul ball between home plate and first base that was caught by the first baseman.

Tone accounted for two more runs with a home run in the 4th inning.

Early on, the prediction was that Bath again would play Nazareth for the league championship. Last year, Nazareth beat Bath, and the locals led by manager Gene Sostarecz were hoping to avenge that. Bath last won the NorCo championship in 1992.

Their team is now made up of players from Liberty and Becahi schools in Bethlehem.

Northampton High School players who reside here have been playing for Northampton.

Meanwhile, Nazareth advanced in their quarter-final.

Nazareth won the opener, 1-0, Freemansburg bounced back to win, 6-5, and then Nazareth sealed it with a 12-0 shutout triumph. It put them into the semi-finals vs. East Stroudsburg after the Poconos team clipped Kemp.

In the only game that Freemansburg won, Ricky Scott and Jackson Zappas had two-run singles in the bottom of the 6th inning to rally their team for the win after they were down 4-1. But on Wednesday, Dan Horvath pitched a two-hitter for Nazareth, and his teammates combined their eight hits with Freemansburg’s three errors to claim the victory in a game shortened to five innings by the mercy rule, winning 12-0.

Nazareth Over E. Stroudsburg 5-2 and 4-3 Nazareth won its first game of the semi-finals with East Stroudsburg, 5-2. Brett Kline was the winning pitcher. All three of the games had to be played in Nazareth because of lack of access to a field by the Poconos team. In that game one won by Nazareth, Ben Schmidtt went 2-for-3 with a run and stolen base, Dan Shepherd had an RBI double in the 5th inning, stole second, and scored on an error, one of six that East Stroudsburg committed. The losers didn’t score their two runs until the last two innings.

In the second game with East Stroudsburg, the score was tied until the 5th inning when Tyler Pastor singled to drive in Mke Martinsky (who singled) and Anthony Gaetaniello (with a walk) from first and second for two runs for the 4-3 win. Mike Garzillo had a two-run single in the 3rd inning that tied the game.

Trees Continued from page 1

Borough Manager Tom Petrucci.

Carl Rehrig Park is part of the Holiday Hill – Park Ridge development in Bath Borough. The space in between the new trees will be used for bleachers to watch baseball games at the park.

The tree planting idea originated with Lions International this past Lions year, 2011-2012. The International president set a goal of one million trees around the world, and it was learned on Thursday that ten million have been planted. In District 14-K, Northampton and Lehigh counties, District Governor Joseph Chunko of Hellertown set a goal of 100 trees, and the year ended on July 1 with 1,842 planted, many in memory of loved ones.

Know The Weather

Do we ever experience cold fronts in August? What is the maximum temperature of a cold front?

Cold fronts occur in every month of the year. We might have more of them pass over us in August than in January. What misleads many about cold fronts is the very name it- self.

In the summer a cold front might contain (behind the leading edge) air 72 degrees, or even 80 degrees. A cold front is so named because of its relative temperature considering the time of year and prevailing weather conditions. In August, as an example, if the temperature has been reaching 90 degrees or more for several days and a mass of air moves in and over, with temperatures of 80 degrees, then weather- men will call it a cold front.

Weekend Forecast - Northampton County

The Eastern PA Weather Authority is calling for a high of 87 with variable cloudy skies and chance of storms on Thursday.

Friday is going to be much of the same with a high of 86 and Saturday will be partly cloudy with a high of 85.

The extended forecast is calling for a high of 86 on Sunday and a high of 90 degrees on Monday.

kins presiding.

Their ad would be placed under the township sign noting public events that are upcoming, and the board was told the message would change periodically and be done tastefully. Estimated cost would be $500 for each of four signs.

Mrs. Hopkins said the signs were originally for non-profit organizations to note events and said to have a business putting information on them would be an “about face.” (There was no formal vote earlier, only an informal agreement about non-profits.)

Supervisor Keith Hantz said there could be informational billboards at Indian Trail Park and Berlinsville Park with non-profit organizations listed. It was noted that the present “welcome” signs are overgrown with weeds and Mrs. Hopkins said she thinks the township crews could trim them with weed whackers.

She said that PennDOT only agrees to signs in a com-

mercial/industrial area. They would not issue a permit in any other zone. But that doesn’t apply to non-profits.

The Woodstone representative told the board, “If you can’t agree on our offer, kindly refund our check, and we’ll go quietly.” He added that the golf course grounds are beautiful, impeccable. “I don’t understand the controversy” [among the board members].

Supervisor Dell Grove asked if Woodstone could wait until the next meeting on July 24, when Chairman Darryl Snover is present, telling him, “I feel it would be a 2-2 vote at this point.” (Cindy Miller and Sandy Hopkins vs.

Dell Grove and Keith Hantz).

The issue will be on that agenda again.

Other Matters • The board voted to go ahead with having Hometown Press do a glossy newsletter, in which they’d get local ads and mail it to all residents (between 4,000 and 5,000) once or twice a year. Greg Cook of the firm said they’ve been doing newsletters for 70 area municipalities. The first one would be in the fall.

Solicitor David Backenstoe discussed an impact fee for road maintenance along Timberline Rd., where there is a weight limit. Conditional approval was tabled until Backenstoe, engineer Phil Malitsch and Hutwelker can agree on issues at a good faith meeting.

• Township Manager Alice Rehrig reported three companies have bid on developing a master concept plan for the township, costing between $10,500 and $18,900.

The board has heard only one presentation and will try to get the other two to give their version. Mrs. Hopkins said the plan could be worked on “piecemeal.”

• The board adopted an ordinance amending the nuisance ordinance, one provision of which is spotlighting.

• Backenstoe reported that a new law has been passed by the state and signed by Gov. Corbett that earned income taxes from the townships can’t be used for the ice hockey arena in Allentown.

Indications are that Lehigh Township will go along with settling the proposed lawsuit.

Pantry Pride!

If it’s too hot for you to work outside, why not clean out your pantry and reorganize so that you can find that box of rice when you need it!

Giving your pantry a make-over takes only about an hour of your time and you won’t need to search for the rice! Start by cleaning out the cupboard and separating your food items into 4 categories: • Items you use everyday •Unopened items to donate to a local food bank •Expired or suspicious items to trash • Items you use less frequently

Next, vacuum up any crumbs and give the shelves a good wipe-down and let them dry thoroughly. Round up containers or organizers to keep small items like small spice jars and sauce packets neatly corralled in one place. Finally, restock wisely. Keep like-items together and create “zones” such as baking items, breakfast and snack goods. Stock heavy bottles of oil and cans of beans on bottom shelves and keep every-day products such as those boxes of rice at eye level!

NAZARETH BORO – LOWER NAZARETH TP. – UPPER NAZARETH TP. – BUSHKILL TP.

Lower Nazareth board, residents Troubled over power outages

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Lower Nazareth Township Supervisors will send letters to power companies, specifically asking PPL, why there have been electrical outages recently.

It was first mentioned at the board meeting this past Wednesday, July 11, by Supervisor James Pennington that he had inquiries from residents about the electrical outage the past weekend.

Township Manager Timm Tenges said the township has a battery backup to deal with some traffic signals. Other than that, fire police direct traffic and stop signs are put in place.

Later in the meeting, Charles Young urged that the township send a letter to PPL about the “chronic power failures.” He said some 680 people were affected with the latest one, and said that the Newburg Inn, Susquehanna Bank and other businesses were affected.

Tenges said rate-payers might have just as much, or more, influence than the township if they voice their concerns to PPL. Chairman Eric Nagle excused himself from the discussions because he works for PPL. But Supervisor Robert Kucsan said his power was off for 48 hours.

He noted that Met-Ed lines go down to Gradwohl Switch

and PPL from there. Supervisor Gerald Green moved that Tenges check with the power companies.

Other Matters • Conditional use was given to First Industrial Pennsylvania, L.P. – First Park 33 for their two buildings after a previous hearing was held in which neighbor residents noted concerns about screening, noise, lighting and odors.

At this meeting the board was told that the buildings will be hidden, they’ll be lower, there will be more screening with evergreen trees 8 ft. high, an 8 ft. fence on top of a berm, and shrubbery added. Zoning allows the warehouses, and it was noted the

developers reconfigured the plans to accommodate the neighbors. The developers still need land development and subdivision approval, but the conditional use application was okayed.

• A time extension to Oct. 27, 2012 was approved for Brown-Daub Kia. • $185,797 in liquid fuels funds will be used to complete the roads in Hirschel Farms. Approval was also given for $52,701 in preventive maintenance work with sealcoating on Hollo Rd. • No response from Upper Nazareth on sharing costs for a traffic study on Werner Rd. • Solicitor Gary Asteak reported that the Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone issue has been corrected legislatively. Earned income taxes that were collected since January will be

returned to the townships, which are now withdrawing their legal action.

• Letters of credit were released as follows because of maintenance improvements being made: Corriere Rd. & Northwood Ave., $200,042, and lots one and five for Regency Centers (Lower Nazareth Commons), $227,960.

The July 25 supervisors meeting was cancelled because of vacations.

News Sermonette Dr. Bob Hampton

Carpenter’s Community Church

The Sky is Falling “Why did Chicken Little cross the road?”“To get out of town after he read the Mayan calendar with its Doomsday prediction.” Just think. Life as we now know it will radically change. No more drug cartels and consequent drive-by shootings. No more in-school massacres by angry, self-hating-once-bullied loners. No more sex-crazed serial killers stalking their wildest fantasies. No more suicidal bombers anticipating a harem of Heavenly virgins. No more threat of nuclear war incited by fanatical ideologues.

Instead, come December 21st, our sun and earth will traverse our galactic equator, causing our North and South poles to reverse roles. Cosmologists tell us this isn’t a good thing. So, instead of a total obliteration of our earth, we’ll just contend with ne’er-seen-before volcanic eruptions, unprecedented earthquakes, tsunamis that could wipe out entire coastal countries and a nuclear winter, preserving the earth, but no inhabitants thereof.

Being translated for all intents and purposes means, you and I won’t be here. Some of us will be transformed into lava-lamps while others of us will be numbered among the frozen-chosen.

So as a pastor with 30 years of ministerial experience tucked beneath my clerical collar, I give you this well-weighed advice: “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we get sucked into the vortex of the inevitable implosion of eternal matter.”

I jest – you could tell. What I really offer by way of counsel zeroes in on a totally “other” view of the future. I give you the Bible with its panoramic preview of mankind’s horizon. Or I could point you to the very terse verse many of us have recited since our earliest years. Ensconced by the “Our Father” and “forever and ever, Amen” of the Lord’s Prayer, we pray for the soon culmination to God’s plan for human history with “Thy Kingdom come.”

That’s what I’m looking for. For that matter, that’s what I’m living for: the Day when Jesus Christ parts the clouds and returns to our planet He once visited. Only this time, He’s not coming as a peerless Teacher and compassionate Healer. He’s coming as the King of kings and Lord of lords to rule the world in unmatched righteousness, impartial justice and pervasive peace.

So when December 22nd arrives, the Mayan YeaSayers will discover along with everybody else that our present cauldron of chaos will still be bubbling profusely.

But when the Prince of Peace returns, the world will enjoy what Jesus once promised: “The peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” I’m not. I hope you share my peace.

THE HOME NEWS done before the latter location.

• Township Manager Ilene Eckhart discussed Savage Road dog park/trail extension, putting in sustainable landscape planting for a test area. A walking path through a meadow would be nice with an upland mix of wild flowers. Pierce said it could attract butterflies. Also noted: a special purpose study grant and open space use options for the Delaware/Lehigh Heritage Trail. Pierce said river access is needed. While an application will be made, Ms. Eckhart questioned if they should spend a lot of money for a plan.
