Bath gets update on land Plans by water authority By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

MAYOR DONALD WUNDERLER has a poppy pinned on him by Robin Meixsell of the Bath American Legion Auxiliary.

Legion and auxiliary Mark poppy month

Eckley E. Patch Post #470, American Legion, and the American Legion Auxiliary of the post celebrated and remembered the armed forces veterans during the past month. On May 1, poppy chairperson Robin Meixsell pinned the first poppy on Bath Mayor Donald Wunderler, commemorating May as Poppy Month. Throughout May,

Auxiliary members were stationed at various businesses in Bath offering poppies. A premier event undertaken by the Auxiliary was the selection of Little Miss Poppy. Chosen was Kaylyn Boronski, daughter of Tony and Bobbi Jo Boronski. She will carry that title for the year 2012. On Sunday, May 27, after paying tribute to deceased Continued on page 10

Bath Water Authority chairman George Gasper and a member of Barry Isett Associates appeared before Bath Borough Council on Monday. They gave the officials an update of the improvements that are part of the authority’s land development plans. They reported that a new sewage treatment plant will be constructed. In preparation for the project, the Authority met with Pa. DEP, Penn Vest and the Northampton County Conservation Authority. Gasper said the Authority, signed a consent order to have the plant built by the end of 2014. They will need to provide monthly progress reports. Construction is expected to start in January 2013. In another project, the Authority will put in a new water tank on Holiday Hill, starting on July 1. It should be completed later this year. Crime Watch? • A resident at 110 S. Chestnut St. questioned if the former Crime Watch could be reinstated. Noting incidents that are happening in the vicinity of her residence, she said she had called Colonial Regional Police about problems that were encountered, but then suffered retribution from vandals. Council President Robert Fields said he will note the incidents at CRPD’s meeting this week. Crime Watch was formerly held at the engine house on Center Street. Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman said she had spoken to CRPD Chief Roy Seiple about having Crime Watch again. If there is enough interest, that may happen.

Later in the meeting, Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts noted that a member of the Northampton County Drug Task Force told her that Bath is considered “methamphetamine central.” She also noted that meth is more dangerous than heroin. Other Matters • A resident complained about free publications that are being distributed in the

borough by city newspapers, and they aren’t wanted. Borough Manager Tom Petrucci said the Morning Call Weekly and Main Street Marketplace are being distributed and he has received several complaints. He advised residents to call to have the Main Street Marketplace stopped by calling Bill Hanna, ExContinued on page 9

Council briefed on rental Property inspection program Bath Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts recently attended a seminar in Wilkes-Barre that had a rental property inspection program as one of its main topics. She gave many details about it at Council’s meeting on Monday. As part of the program landlords would have to pay an annual, renewable fee for a license, so that the number of rentals in the community can be determined. She said it is not designed to bring in more income for the municipality. There is concern about rentals over burdening school systems. Regulations would call for proper maintenance of properties by the landlord. And if violations are found,

the borough manager would make an inspection to determine if they affect the health and safety of the tenants. Mrs. Roberts said if Council is interested in having such a rental property inspection program, a workshop would be needed on the subject. She added that the Wilkes-Barre speaker would be available to come to Bath to explain the program in greater detail. Councilman Robert Kearns and president Robert Fields asked that she get a copy of the model ordinance that has withstood Pennsylvania Supreme Court scrutiny, and members of Council will examine it. But he added there are greater priorities that have to be completed first.

the Fence GabGab OverOver the Fence by Pete G. Ossip The Pain of this Memorial Day Sunday by Pete G. Ossip THE HOME NEWS

By Peggy Spengler-Moser

We had lots of sun during the day on Saturday, but it rained big time Friday night into Saturday. Then on Sunday, you could see the black clouds rolling in and sure enough, there was thunder and lightning with rain. Since then it’s been raining off and on almost every day. I reckon the county and the townships can safely take down their no burning signs now, ‘cause the drought is over. . . . This is graduation week for our local high schools. Monday was Nazareth’s turn, and this Friday it will be Northampton’s as the seniors get their diplomas down at Lehigh University’s Stabler Arena. Congrats and best wishes to all the graduates!! Now comes life and dealing with finding jobs. Good luck at that! . . . . The soccer teams up in Moore Township were saddened last week when their mentor, Charlie Garcia, passed away. He was a beloved figure among the players. . . . Ye Ed says that whenever he travels he looks around to see if he knows anybody, especially if he’s flying out of A-B-E. Didn’t see anybody he knew on two trips to and from Georgia in May. But I hear that on Sunday, Sharon Schrantz asked if he went to Georgia. Yeah, he tells her, and she said she remarked, “That looks like Bill Halbfoerster.” He didn’t see her though. Ye Ed does recall another time seeing local folks with his late wife Anna

when they traveled to New Orleans years ago. They were in a restaurant. Sometimes it is a small world. . . . As the weather gets warmer and we head into summer, it will be carnival, fair, and community days time. I see the great Nazareth carnival is coming up real soon, and then it will be the Catholic church picnic up on the hill. It’s too bad the firefighters in town don’t have their carnival anymore, but that’s the way it goes, I reckon. . . . Nice to see there was a motorcycle rally over in Upper Nazareth Township and up into Bushkill Township over the weekend to boost homes for troops. It’s a great thing to do if we can help some of the troops who have given so much for their country. . . . Rumor has it that a Dunkin Donut’s coming to town, but I don’t know where. What’s next? McDonald’s? . . . . Mother’s Day is past. Now don’t forget, father’s Day is coming up on June 17th. . . . If the sun comes out again, I better tend to my grass. It’s a’growin’ . . . .Have a great week, gang. See ya!

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Sunday and Monday, the Sons of Union Veterans Reserve of the Civil War and the Tri-Community Marching Band stopped at 10 local cemeteries to conduct memorial services for veterans buried there. There are only two families left to carry on the work of the Sons of Veterans. Those families were the Wagners and the Schwartz-Kromers. This year there was even an extra reason to support these men and what they do. This year, both families just buried their father/grandfathers. Mark Schwartz died this past February. Roy Wagner died only 8 days before these services started. He was a member of the troop for 60 years. There had to be some personal pain and memories for the soldiers. Sergeant Bruce A. Wagner, Commanding Officer, listed,

with gratefulness, the former Schaffer and Creyer families that provided time and support in the past to the Sons of Veterans to help honor our deceased veterans of all wars. Besides providing memorial services, these men also replaced new American flags on a cemetery. Despite the heat, they still continue to wear very old and heavy wool uniforms, as did our forefathers who suffered the pain and made the sacrifices. One resident said they were disappointed and pained over the lack of attendance at some of the locations, despite the services being only 15 minutes long and advertised in the Home News. A recent commentary said the lack of patriotism actually stems from his generation, those with children. He asked how many parents took their child/children to the cemetery of a family veteran, or if they showed pictures of the sol-

Wagner Bryan Wagner, Robert Wagner, and Randy Wagner. Irvin Kemp served with his son and grandsons Donald D. Schwartz, Eric Kromer, Steve Kromer, Sean Kromer, Kyle Kromer, and Zachary Kromer. Some of the band members were Dan Cascioli, Matthew Cascioli, Mark Held, Wayne Nottle, Don Albright, Ed Pavlik, Dave Fermato, Ron Porotsky, and Paul Chipolis.

Trouble Losing Weight

I routinely get asked questions about losing weight. Typically it is from ladies ages thirty five through early fifties. They relate that despite exercise and eating correctly they have either plateaued in their effort or are in fact gaining weight. Has this ever happened to you? The emotional distress behind this appears to be more of an issue than lack of weight loss itself. Here we have otherwise healthy individuals who are putting forth consistent and tremendous effort yet results are negligible. Why? From counseling many individuals I see a few basic possibilities that need to be looked at: 1. Thyroid function is abnormal. Hypothyroid is the leading problem. Most likely issues are not showing up in blood work yet but they eventually will. Proper target supplements to bolster function will help here. 2. Adrenal fatigue. Chronic stress and the hurried existence we live tax the body and most specifically the adrenals. Rest, meditation, supplementation, and in fact, reduced exercise go a long way. 3. Insulin spikes throughout the day. The key is to eat foods with

lower glycemic indexes, that is, don’t eat something that quickly converts to sugar and forces your pancreas to surge insulin throughout your body. Combine protein and oils with carbohydrates. 4. Lack of water. Please drink more water. 5. Excessive fruit intake. See number three above... 6. Lack of protein. Eat close to your body’s weight in grams of protein. A one hundred fifty pound person should eat close to one hundred twenty to one hundred fifty grams of protein each day. It is much harder than it seems. 7. Exercise. There was a time when my exercise was grueling wrestling workouts and heavy weight lifting. That morphed into tornado kicks, flying sidekicks and many years of bruised ribs and shades of black and blue in many places. Running replaced that for many years. Now I find myself walking more, stretching more, and utilizing much lower impact techniques such as Nordic walking sticks, elliptical and many others. Each stage of life will lend to different exercise intensities. 8. Rest and recovery. A large part of stagnation. Resting the body is as important. Especially the older we get. As part of recovery con-

RACING✷ ✷ ✷ A low point in horse racing is reached if a horse is named after boozing. That seems to apply to two-time winner this far in the Big Three of horse racing. The horse is “I’ll Have An-

other.”That doesn’t apply to a race horse in a traditional way but reflects the odd choice of a name. I’ll Have Another has already won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness and if he wins the Belmont Stakes that will be a rare sports achievement--the same horse winning the Big Three. But one would hope owners and trainers would opt for better names for great race horses. Too many Americans die early because they too often say, “I’ll have another.” That’s neither humorous nor appropriate.

31st All-Star Soccer Classic Held June 3rd at Nazareth

Although interrupted at times by rain showers, the 31st annual All-Star Soccer Classic sponsored by District 14-K Lions Charitable Enterprises was played on Sunday, June 3 at Nazareth Area School District’s Andrew Leh Stadium. Once again, the games featured outstanding high school senior boys and girls from the Mountain Valley Conference, Colonial League, and Lehigh Valley Conference. The fans loved all the action on the field. When it rained, they went to the refreshment stand for some good food served by the Nazareth Booster Club, and after the rains stopped they went back to their seats. The girls’ game was won 2-0 by the Colonial League, with both points kicked into the net by Bangor High School senior Kristi Dalton. The boys’ game also ended 2-0, won by the Lehigh Valley & MVC

Past District Governor Willard W. Stratz, a member of the Bethlehem Township Lions Club, has been chairman of the classic for many years. He expressed his thanks to the committee and all the clubs and individuals who supported the Classic with ads in the program booklet. Co-Chairman was Lion Steve Pausinger.

More than 180 youngsters Enjoy day led by sportsmen By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Perfect weather conditions, following a night in which some three inches of rain had fallen, were enjoyed by more than 180 boys and girls Saturday morning and afternoon. They participated in the 20th annual Youth Field Day, led by volunteer sportsmen from around Northampton County. For the 20th year, it was hosted and held at the Stockertown Rod & Gun Club under direction of Richard Tobias and the Northampton County Youth Field Day Foundation, Inc. Members of clubs affiliated with the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs made up most of the volunteers, who assisted the boys and girls in shooting muzzleloader and .22 rifles, learning how to draw back arrows and shoot at targets, fishing in a canal that has replaced a former pond at the club, learning how to canoe

safely in a lake while wearing their personal flotation devices (lifejackets), and how to cast in fly-fishing. The youngsters also learned the value of trapping in preserving wildlife. Major sponsors of the event were the Charles Chrin Companies and Horn’s Outdoor, Inc. Each of the children was given a t-shirt to wear, noting the sponsors’ names. Pennsylvania Water Rescue led the canoe safety training. Waterways Conservation Office Jeff Sabo assisted with the fishing event. District #10, Pa. Trappers Association, had the trapping seminar, in which furs were displayed. Members of the Northampton County Junior Conservation School had a display and provided literature for children 14 to 17 who they hoped would register for the July 1522 school at the 4-H Center in Bushkill Township. Drawings were held for 20th anniversary prizes given by the

CHILDREN paddled their canoes and wear their PFD’s.

Youth Field Day Foundation and also a Polaris 500 all terrain vehicle, similar to those chanced off at the Whitetail Deer Classic. Taking a break at noontime, the youngsters, their parents and siblings, and the instructors all enjoyed hot dogs, and other refreshments at a stand next to the lake and inside the clubhouse.

Young bug enthusiasts will have the chance to learn more about insects through Bug Camp for Kids, hosted by members of Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. A Bug Camp for Kids will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., June 25-28, in the Agricultural Sciences and Industries Building on the University Park campus. Faculty, staff and graduate students from the Department of Entomology will give children, ages 8-11, the chance to learn about a broad range of biological, ecological and environmental topics. Amber Brunskill, education specialist for the Pennsylvania Integrated Pest Management Program and coordinator of the camp, said Bug Camp for Kids gives campers a unique chance to learn about the influence of insects on humans and the environment."The world of insects is a fascinating one, and insects impact our lives every day," Brunskill said. "Bug Camp goes far beyond the traditional classroom experience by stepping outside and getting up close and personal with the insects that surround us." Some of the topics covered during the Bug Camp for Kids are habitats, types of insects,

Know The Weather

Does the weather affect our mood because of psychological factors or because of physical factors? The changing weather affects the way we feel in both the real, physical sense, and the psychological. In the first place, changes in the pressure of the air affect us, as does the relative amount of moisture in the air, so that many people feel genuine physical “omens” and “signs” about the weather in an advance of a weather change, and during certain periods. The psychological effect is also great. Psychologists have found that some people associate cheerfulness with rain, others link it with bright, sunny skies. Both of these influences must be taken into consideration in appraising the effects on humans which is sometimes great. Generally, speaking, of course, most people feel best, physically, when they are under a high pressure area of clear, dry air.

Weekend Forecast - Northampton County

After all the rain we have seen this past week, it looks like things might clear up for this weekend. Thursday will be partly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms and a high of 76.

GRUB PREVENTATIVE Memorial Day to 4th of July: is the time of year you can apply a grub preventative. The product we sell is called Merit. Merit is an insecticide, which will be absorbed by the grass plant down to the root of the grass plant. The Merit is placed in the root of the grass plant. When a grub eats any part of the Merit lased root, the grub dies. Merit is a preventative. It takes a month for the Merit to be absorbed by the grass plant. Once the grass plant absorbs it, the Merit will last in the root until November. Because of this fact, Merit cannot be used as a rescue treatment. It takes too long to work.

Petrucci said the distribution practice can’t be stopped except by ordinance, or by making numerous calls. • Councilman Mike Reph questioned about the proposed gazebo to be constructed at Keystone Park. He asked if it is in a flood plain, and was told by engineer Darrin Heckman that it is in a 25-ft. zoning setback from the tributary stream that flows through the park. The nearby Monocacy Creek, however, is a flood plain area. • Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman gave another reading from historian Asa K. McIlhaney’s book on Bath. This was about the Indian cave that was on the Stephen Best farm property and even had stalactites and stalagmites inside it. • Councilwoman Jennifer

George noted that red maple is the species of trees that will be planted in Carl Rehrig Park near bleachers. The trees will be memorials for the Bath Lions Club. She was told as soon as they are planted, there will be a ceremony to commemorate the memorial to deceased members. • Councilwoman Roberts said she has been very impressed with the work of Bath’s new Borough Manager Petrucci. • A resolution was made to seek a PennDOT grant for automated red light enforcement.

Reinventing the health care Experience at St. Luke’s

In the last few months, Peter Seymour of Nazareth had reason to visit St. Luke's Emergency Department three times. Each time he was asked why he chose St. Luke's Hospital -- Anderson Campus in Easton. "My daughter-in-law insisted I "upgrade" to St. Luke's because it's the best.” Seymour's first two visits were for minor emergencies but his most recent visit required that he be admitted. "All is fine thanks to the skilled Emergency Department team at St. Luke's," Seymour shares. On February 20, 2012 Seymour started experiencing chest pain and a fast heart rate. Recalling his daughterin-law's insistence, he went immediately to the Emergency Department at St. Luke's Hospital -- Anderson Campus. According to his treating physician, Donald Jeanmonod, MD, "Mr. Seymour was in distress; he was complaining of chest pain and that his heart was beating fast. We hooked him up to a heart monitor and performed an EKG to verify his condition. We confirmed that he had supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with chest pain." SVT is a general term that refers to any rapid heart rhythm originating above the ventricular tissue. According to Dr. Jeanmonod, "We treated him with an IV medication that brought his heart rate back to a normal rhythm. Mr. Seymour stabilized quickly."

Seymour recalls, "From the moment I walked through the door there were no delays, just spontaneous execution on the part of nurses Avery Bryant and Rose Smith; they prepped me immediately and had Dr. Jeanmonod by my side in seconds. Diagnosis was "right on"; IV was administered and within seconds the pain subsided." He adds, "I will always remember their smiles, their true concern for me and my wife and the professional expertise that was evident in each of their actions. It was impressive." Following his treatment in the Emergency Department, Seymour was admitted to an inpatient suite to recuperate. "Needless to say the facility is outstanding. The patient rooms were designed with patients and their families in mind. They are very comfortable and conducive to rehabilitation. But it's the people; that's the name of the game. Your team is the best.You only have one chance to make a first impression and you hit the nail on the head. Bravo!" Seymour says. Seymour was so impressed with the exceptional service and healing atmosphere that he decided to write a letter of appreciation to Darla Frack, Vice President of Patient Care Services at St. Luke's Hospital -- Anderson Campus.

Volunteers rake soil for garden To help Nazareth Food Bank After a night of heavy rain, the skies cleared and the sun was out on Saturday as volunteers raked topsoil and mulch in preparation for planting a

garden to grow vegetables for the Nazareth Area Food Bank. The site of the garden is across from the food bank on

Vigilance Hose Co. and Naz. Area Kiwanis Present the

S. Main Street. It is on land donated by Essroc Cement Co. so that the volunteers can grow fresh vegetables for the food bank. This will help serve the hundreds of clients who live within the Nazareth Area School District and who are dependent on the food bank for some of their meals.

The food bank serves some 300 families and individuals in the district each month, with much of the food generously donated by local persons in the community, along with churches, schools, businesses and organizations. Additional volunteers who like gardening or who want to learn more about growing fresh vegetables are encouraged to participate.

Several women, led by Lester Little, were on the scene Saturday doing the raking. Using a wheelbarrow, he carried mulch and it was spread between the even rows of topsoil. Little noted that two to three inches of rain had fallen in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday. Any others who would like to help out may call Little at 610-759-6414.

Kindness in Our World

Have you noticed that kindness seems to have gone out of style in our everyday lives? As the pace of life increases, our emphasis is on saving time and effort instead of watching out for those around us. Even our churches are not immune when there are complaints about crying babies or visitors who sit in a particular pew that some regular member has claimed as their own. Kindness is in short supply at times, but can make a huge difference in how others treat us. If we take the time to think of the other person, kindness will become a priority in our day-to-day lives, and we will be living according to Christ’s teachings. Jesus was kind to everyone he met. When someone came to him for help, he didn’t dismiss them because they were social outcasts, or tell them to come back the next day because it was the Sabbath. He used his healing power and made them whole in spite of the criticism he knew would follow. The old saying, “what goes around, comes around” can also be applied to kindness. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, in his new book, It Worked for Me, relates a time when he slipped away from his security guards and snuck down to the government garage, where the employees were immigrants and minorities making minimum wage. The Secretary spent some time chatting with the workers and asked them how they decide whose car would be the first to get out, and whose ended up second or third? Those workers exchanged smiles, then one of them said, “Mr. Secretary, it goes like this: When you drive in, if you lower the window, look out, or smile, or know our name, you’re number one to get out. But if you look straight ahead, don’t show you see us or that we are doing something for you, well you are likely to be one of the last to get out.” At his next staff meeting, he shared this story with his senior leaders. Then he told them, “You can never err by treating everyone in the building with respect, thoughtfulness and a kind word.” Isn’t that the truth? So, let’s perform some“random acts of kindness”this summer. Instead of letting the heat and humidity make us grumpy, let’s put forth an even greater effort to think of those around us who could use a kind word or deed. On our way to the beach or mountains, let’s take our time and share the road with other drivers. And, for heaven’s sake, let’s welcome those visitors on a Sunday morning and offer them their choice of seating, even if their crying baby makes it hard to hear the sermon. In fact, let’s start a chain reaction of kindness that will improve our own lives and the lives of others. We might even become the beneficiaries of some of that kindness ourselves.

In real life, Hemingway met Sans in the Mediterranean city of Mataro while she was working as a nurse for the International Brigades during the war.

Disney Nixes Junk Food Ads According to the Wall Street Journal, Disney CEO Robert Iger is set to make an announcement this week with First Lady Michelle Obama on plans to curb advertising of unhealthy food on their television and radio programs aimed at children. This is an expansion of an initiative launched in 2006 that saw Disney phasing out promotion of junk food to kids on its networks and theme parks.

16 THE HOME NEWS June 7-13, 2012

Council faced with huge increases in Insurance, notably workmen’s comp By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The report by Councilman Mike Kopach of the finance committee at this past Thursday night’s workshop meeting of Nazareth Borough Council was grim, as they heard figures that to him were both “astounding” and “frightening.” Kopach reported that insurance totals over a threeyear period had risen by 110.7% – going from $136,510 in 2009-10 premiums, to $170,225 in 2010-11, $208,626 in 2011-12, and now in 201213 to $285,625. Much of this is attributed to what Borough Secretary Paul Kokolus said were “out-ofcontrol police claims.” Those claims have made Nazareth uninsurable, as workmen’s compensation premiums in the three-year time period went from $64,590 to $191,492. The borough lost Promotional prices start at just

its insurance carrier for workmen’s comp, and of the 11 entities who were approached for quotes, not a single one offered a price for this crucial insurance, Kokolus said in his report to Council. Mayor Fred Daugherty said the public should be aware of these high costs for insurance. Other Matters Frank Maurek of the ecology committee noted that Code Enforcement Officer Dennis Huth had sent out letters for residents to cut high grass and weeds. There is a $60 fine for violating the weed ordinance. If residents see weed violations, they are asked to call 610-759-8227 to report them. Larry Stout of public property reported receiving three bids for painting the borough park pavilion, ranging from $9,000 to $21,000. He also reported that tree stumps have

been removed. Jack Herbst reported that the hiring committee recommended hiring four part-time police officers, and action on that would be taken at Council’s regular meeting on Monday. Cindy Werner noted that 18 youngsters had signed up for the recreation program, but that there will be two more sign-up days. Last year, there were 100 youngsters in the program. The fee is slightly higher this year because of a lack of funding. Kokolus also reported to Council that receipts at the swimming pool were much higher than last year, especially in pool pass dollars. Concerning lifeguards at the community swimming pool, she said that after they have served for three years they qualify for the top wage of $8 an hour. She also reported that concrete urns may replace the planters that are around town. They cost $156 each and a total of 24 would be needed, costing some $4,000. In the

past, property or business owners were asked to water the plants, some refusing to do so and others sometimes forgetting. Buckets of water will be used to refresh the plants. The 24 urns include eight at the circle, and four each at Main & Belvidere, Broad & Belvidere, Center & Broad, and Whitfield & Center. She added one more advice about weed control in the borough. Residents could keep an eye on where they are growing up around poles or at curbs. Cutting them down would help make the borough neater, she said. Charles Donello reported that the highway crew will be taking a flagging course

Rotary sale of roses Carries on local tradition The history of Nazareth is linked to the “Barony of the Roses”, in which the daughter of William Penn was to abide by a Colonial law and give him a rose every June 24 in tribute to his giving her the 5,000 acres of land the Penn family owned that became Nazareth. The feudal tax on that land was one red rose payable on June 24. A skit about that local tradition will be performed at

on June 20, a requirement when there is construction on streets. He also recommended that three workers be hired for summer help with the highway department. Mayor Daugherty praised the recent Memorial Day ceremonies, saying they were “fantastic.” Larry Stout remarked, however, that not enough people are aware that at 12:00 Noon on Memorial Day, flags on poles should be raised to the top. Kokolus announced that there will be a borough employees recognition dinner on September 29. Herbst reported that 15 persons have applied for administrative assistant.

The roses will be $3.50 each, with proceeds going to community projects.

The Jacobsburg Historical Society is beginning the bicentennial of its historic Boulton site along the banks of the Bushkill Creek. There will be a living history celebration of Northampton County heritage on the grounds of the Henry Homestead, Friday through Sunday, June 1517, 2012. Located just west of the Belfast Exit, Route 33, at the intersection of Henry and Schoeneck, the hills above the banks of the Bushkill Creek will come alive with costumed living history participants who will be celebrating the 200 years of history brought to this area by the Henry Gun Works. Historically accurate tents, lodges, and log cabins will detail the lifestyles of a bygone era. Buckskins, linsey-woolsey and homespun clothing will join with the more refined silks and cottons from the post Civil War epoch. A gaudy palette of lifestyles will exhibit everything from the French & Indian War up to the Victorian Era, when muzzleloading guns passed into history. Flintlock longrifle competition will be joined with knives and tomahawk venues, as well as the “on the Continued on page 17

Nicholas Hawk, log cabin gunshop, Early American Crafts & Education Center, 1832 John Joseph Henry House and 1740 Homestead (Pennsylvania Long Rifle Museum.) While rifle frolics and fur trade rendezvous have occurred on or near the property since 1981, the Historical Society has added a new dimension for visitors: The Market Faire. Scores of historic subtlers, period merchants, and antique tools and historic arms dealers will be set up along the historic John Jacob Astor road between the JJHenry House and Long Rifle Museum. Ringing sounds from the blacksmiths’ anvils will join with the period music of the era. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit three museums, interact with rendezvous games, help their children complete scavenger hunts, or watch as the kids are challenged in outdoor games. Unusual gifts, antiques and curious will tempt the purse as a full day’s activities are offered at the Early American Craft Center and 18th/19th Century Market Faire.

insect growth and insect control. Campers also will be led on daily field trips to locations such as Sunset Park and Laurel Haven. Brunskill said that during these trips, campers enjoy hands-on activities, such as collecting insects each day. "We never know what species we're going to find that day, so it's exciting for everyone involved," she said. "As insects are collected and pinned in the collections

boxes, there is a lot of enthusiasm, conversation and exchange of knowledge between the campers and the Bug Camp staff." Other activities include playing insect-related games and making crafts. On the final day of camp, the campers' families are invited to an open house where they can learn about their campers' bug collections and hear about their favorite moments of the week. Registration is $275 and includes bus travel, instruction and materials such as an insect net, collection kit and identification book. Enrollment is limited to 20 campers. Scholarships may be available through the Department of Entomology, with applications available upon request.

Seymour experienced at St. Luke's. "Every person that came into the room that I was in always addressed me by name, always smiled and always introduced themselves." "My primary care nurse, Sara, stayed past her shift to remove my IVs the day I was discharged from the hospital. I asked her why she stuck around and she said she thought it was better that she did it herself. Since she cared for me during my stay, she didn't want a "stranger" to remove my IVs before I went home." "Rhondasue, patient care assistant, sensed when I was uncomfortable and held my hand—nothing like human contact to reduce anxiety levels. Jennifer from housekeeping epitomizes the axiom that "Cleanliness is Next to Godliness". Laurie from room service realized I wasn't finished eating my meal and said, "Oh no, don't rush. I'll be back." "The physician bedside manner was very personable. Cardiologist Marcus Averbach, MD, is my new doctor from here on out. I really appreciated his willingness to take time to explain and educate me, which will help in my rehabilitation." Seymour ends by saying, "I'm 68 years old. Over the years I've had a number of Emergency Department visits, hospital stays and major surgery. I believe I have a sound

basis to form my opinions and evaluations. Please accept my comments as sincere and a result of much thought. I had a great experience at St. Luke's Hospital – Anderson Campus and I'll be back! Seymour and his wife, Marie have two grown children and six grandchildren.

diet – particularly now when farmers’ markets are practically

bursting with a bounty of summer produce. USDA strongly supports farmers’ markets. And the Food and Nutrition Service, which I oversee, has farmers’ market programs for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants, for seniors, and for WIC mothers to help provide healthy food for them and their children. We also encourage farmers markets to accept SNAP electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards, which makes it easier for SNAP participants to make purchases. Farmers markets are the ultimate win-win situation. They’re a win for customers because they can easily buy the freshest produce available. They’re a win for producers because they are a convenient local market for their products. They also provide a chance for customers and producers to meet face to face and build better understanding of community agriculture and what customers want. So visit a local farmers’ market today – you’re in for a treat. And

remember, fresh fruits and vegetables are not only the healthy choice – they’re the affordable choice, too.

It Was Dump Truck That Hit Worker In East Allen Twp.

A change in an accident report concerning an incident in April, in which a construction worker was hurt, has been released by the Pa. State Police of the Bethlehem Barracks. The accident happened along Rt. 512 in East Allen Township, when Alisa R. Korsak, 43, of Coplay was run over by a co-worker, Michael A. Wesnak, 51, of N. Whitehall Township, in a dump truck. They were part of a UGI Corp. project at the intersection of Silver Crest Rd. According to the new release, Wesnak was backing up and hit the woman at about 10:15 a.m. on April 25. Initial reports were that two persons were hurt when struck by a passing motorist’s vehicle. The new details show that Wesnak was backing up and Ms. Korsak was standing behind the truck when the passenger-side rear bumper hit her. Her right leg became tangled in the dual wheels as Wesnak continued to back up, and he didn’t realize he had hit her until others on the job

site alerted him. Ms. Korsak was flown by helicopter to St. Luke’s Hospital in serious condition. No charges were filed against Wesnak. The release doesn’t note whether or not there were beeping sounds as the truck backed up. The federal agency, OSHA, is continuing the investigation and has six months to complete it.
