Hurricane Sandy Blamed for Death of Teenager in Wind Gap By Alice Wanamaker The Home News
Hurricane Sandy blew through our area and claimed the life of a 17 year old boy in Wind Gap on Monday night. Lehigh County Coroner Scott
Grim reported that the boy crashed an ATV into a downed tree and was thrown from the ATV. He suffered fatal head injuries in the accident. As predicted, Sandy was one of the worst tropical storms

to ever make landfall on the Eastern Seaboard. Locally, wind gusts of nearly 80 miles per hour were felt late Monday night. The storm moved through quicker than expected, lessening the amount of rain seen locally. Less than two inches fell over the course of the storm. Area residents all over the County woke up to colder, rainy skies on Tuesday as they evaluated the damage. Ellie Lalick, who lives on 248 in Northampton, reported a 30-year-old bus shelter had been blown across the driveway. "I’m very shocked everything else is ok" Lalick said early Tuesday. "We just had this [the shelter], some branches and debris down." Lalick will need to have someone move the shelter back to its original location or have to
Jaindl Will Proceed With Hanover Corporate Center
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
After a long period of time has passed, it appears that the Hanover Corporate Center planned by David Jaindl will be proceeding. Although 4.9 acres of land that is to be developed is in East Allen Township, Hanover Township has agreed to keep it separate. It is owned by Dr. Greg Amore, and was never subdivided in East Allen. Other Matters • A letter was received from Keystone Cement Co., indicating plans to put in new storage tanks. At the supervisors meeting on Thursday, Township Manager Debbie Seiple said she will be meeting with Jeff Kaboly of the company. She also noted that Keystone will have a new president on November 1 (today). • Although a traffic light at Rt. 512 and Jacksonville Rd.
has been activated, it was noted that there is no backup generator as yet in case of emergencies. Supervisor Mark Schwartz suggested Opticon as the firm to install it. • A lease agreement between East Allen Township and the East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Dept. for equipment has been modified. • Christopher Post has been proposed as Municipal Emergency Management Coordinator, but is subject to background checks, and it could take weeks until this is completed. • A Benecon Health Benefit seminar on Nov. 16 will be attended by Mrs. Seiple, when she will seek information as Obamacare takes effect in 2013. She will also attend the Pennsylvania State AssociaContinued on page 2

Lehigh Township Supervisors may Hike Tax Millage Slightly in 2013 By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
At their meeting on Oct. 16, the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors indicated they have to increase the real estate tax millage in 2013. The supervisors held a budget discussion, in which it was suggested that the township would need a 0.25-mill tax increase, or an increase from its present 4.8 mills to 5.05 mills. The reasoning? Contractural
obligations, said Chairman Darryl Snover. The board also discussed whether there should be full-time status for a police officer and a road crew employee, which already is in the proposed preliminary budget. Supervisors Sandra Hopkins and Cynthia Miller both believe that they should be part-timers to replace the retired persons, in order to save money. Supervisors Dell Grove and Keith Hantz dis-
agreed. Snover said regardless, the township still has to honor those contractural obligations. In addition to discussing that part-time status, both Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Hopkins said they would like money in the budget to upgrade the township’s website so that residents who have computers can get agendas, forms, ordinances, Bath Halloween Parade Best Appearing Float – Cub and other information without Scout Pack 33 from Christ UCC Church in Bath, with the theme, having to attend the meetings “Indiana Jones.” (More Pictures on Page 7.) – Contributed photo each month.

OpinionHH Newspapers: Legal Documents that Protect Citizens “ Beyond the Shadow of Doubt”
By Mike MacLaren Paying for baseball umpires is more important than protecting your property from foreclosure. That is in essence what elected officials across the country are saying as they push for “cost saving” legislation to allow government to post notices of legal actions on government-run websites. “Baseball umpires? ... You can’t be serious,” you say. I am serious; I’m also worried. You should be too. Here’s why: Government officials say such legislation saves money that could be spent on police and fire fighters. But there are government programs that cost more than publishing these notices, such as umpires for city baseball leagues. It’s a fact: the City of Niles (MI) spends more each year for baseball umpires than for publishing legal notices in the local newspaper. But there’s a larger issue at stake. These public notices are legal documents. Newson-paper notices give citizens an independent, authentic and verifiable record of what their government has done. If questions arise regarding ordinances, actions or any other municipal decision, courts will not accept a copy — they want the original document as proof. This news-on-paper publication requirement was put in place to protect public and municipal officials so that there’s no question that a document had been doctored.
Requiring legal notices to be published in a venue independent of government is a form of insurance for taxpayers. How can you get “beyond the shadow of doubt” proof of the contents of a legal document from a website that can be altered with a click of a mouse, or hacked? Heck, even the Pentagon’s computers have been hacked. When was the last time you visited your local government website? Is it something you do weekly? By contrast, according to American Opinion Research: • Newspapers are the number one source for local/community news. • Seventy percent of Michigan adults read a print newspaper on an average Sunday. • Eighty-seven percent of Michigan Adults (6.7 million) read a Michigan newspaper during an average seven-day period. • Ninety-five percent of 1829 year-olds read a newspaper each week in Michigan. Newspapers deliver an ongoing information stream, so that if one person misses a property-rezoning announcement, others can alert them that a nearby wooded lot could become an adult video store. Let me be clear: Under the guise of saving money, such “pull public notices out of a newspapers and post them on a government web site” legislation will make it easier for municipalities to have special meetings, make assessments and other important decisions with nearly no knowledge or input from the community. Yes, newspapers charge to publish these notices. More often than not, they are done at cost. But without these notices, more than a few community newspapers face the specter of shutting
down. So on top of posting these public notices where the public won’t notice, there may be no local paper to report on the results of the actions. And let me be clear about something else: government officials across the country have thankless jobs. Most of the ones I’ve worked with are industrious and well-intentioned people. I sincerely doubt that they realized how this legislation could cause a crack in the cornerstone of communities across the country. But the truth is that these bills will hurt you and every other citizen across this nation. So, government officials: Thank you for all the thankless work you do. It is a lot. And thank you for reconsidering your support of this legislation. Because the taxpayers you work for deserve better. -- Mike MacLaren is executive director of the Michigan Press Assoc. in Lansing.

Know The Weather
Old-timers say when dew forms weather next day will be fair. Is there a scientific basis for this? There is. Dew forms because some of the moisture in the air condenses as the temperature drops at night. The lower temperature causes this condensation; warm air can hold a greater amount of moisture than cold air. In winter, we call this frost. When it isn’t cold, it’s dew. It’s the very same The scientific basis for a fair weather prediction lies in the fact that dew forms best under a clear sky. If the sky is full of clouds, this inhibits heat radiation and formation of dew and frost. So, when it’s clear and dew forms, this is likely to mean fair weather in the early morning or all the next day. Dew and frost also form more rapidly in calm weather, without much wind.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip That’s what happens when you write letters ahead of time. Here I thought it would be nice for the Halloween parade last Tuesday and it turned out to be cool and damp, with a fine mist. Oh well, it went on anyhow and folks had a pretty good time. Just hadta bundle up a little. As it turned out, the weather was nicer on Wednesday, but it’s a bummer when you hafta have something on a rain date. Ever since then, the weather’s been overcast as Hurricane Sandy comes moving up the coast. From all the weather reports, it looks like we’re really gonna get hit hard with high winds and heavy rains from midnight on Monday and into Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope folks got ready, ‘cause this looks like a big one. All the grocery stores were packed to the gills with people and shelves were empty of bread and other items. So I guess folks will have enough to eat. The biggest worry is the high winds that are sure to knock down power lines and trees. If that happens, as the Governors from Pennsylvania and New Jersey said, we might be without power for a week or more. Let’s hope that the snow that is a part of it will stay away from us. We really got socked with a Halloween surprise last year. . .Well, those San Francisco Giants did it! They won all four games and knocked out those Detroit Tigers in the World Series. They had a team that had everything, I reckon, great pitching that took care of the power hitters for the most part, and just enough hitting when it counted. Hunter Pence didn’t know how lucky he was when he got traded from the Phillies to the Giants, and he had some important hits and was like a cheerleader for the team. But, as the saying goes, pitching

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Entrainment
Heart Math. Funny word. Even stranger title for a book. Written by Childre and Martin, The Heart Math Solution is a fascinating read. Anyone with an ailment of the cardiovascular system needs to read this. One specific discussion particularly caught my attention and is the title of this week’s article. Christian Huygens, a 17th century, European inventor, is well known for his developing of the pendulum clock. Unwittingly, what he discovered was that while he had numerous pendulum clocks swinging at different rhythms, they all would eventually fall into sync. Amazing and almost magical! The term that was developed based on this phenomenon is entrainment, defined as synchronization of two or more rhythms. Think of a room full of people clapping together. “Somehow” we all entrain. What was even more amazing was the fact that all the pendulums would “entrain” or fall into rhythm with the largest pendulum. Astonishing! Makes me wonder if we all unknowingly clap along to the loudest clapper.
This has got me thinking about the old adage of two females who spend enough time together can develop similar menstrual cycles. It appears that there is some truth, based on science, to this seemingly old wives tale. In fact, from my further reading on this subject, any two bodies will entrain to each other if given enough exposure. What causes this entrainment? It appears to work on electromagnetic fields, frequencies, and beats. Whether we wish to believe this hocus pocus type stuff or not, it is valid. It appears that these various energy forms “talk” to each other. The more people we see the more I am convinced that an aspect of health and healing is getting each person’s body entrained. I just didn’t realize this is what we should call it until recently. When “things” entrain, they use less energy as compared to when they are not, as they operate with increased efficiency. Makes sense to me. The application here for our discussion is the consideration of the many individuals who have bodies that are out

of sync. A person who is “not entrained unto themselves” if you will. This may begin to sound a little strange but let me continue. Understandably, our bodies have numerous systems which create electromagnetic fields, frequencies, and beats, that need to work together in harmony. I am thinking about the cerebral spinal fluid flow that washes up and down our spinal cords, our breathing patterns, our flow of “chi” if you believe in such a thing as I do, and our heart rhythms. Even brainwaves need to be considered here. Oftentimes, this harmony between all the systems gets out of balance and the end result is typically disorders and disease. Based on the heart math theorems, we would be wise to seek balance within these body systems. They elaborate on this topic by discussing that the biggest “pendulum” in the body is the heart rhythm. All else becomes entrained to that. “As the heart goes so goes the body” type of view. Treating many people over the years I can understand this viewpoint and it’s hard to disagree. With the surge of the atrial fibrillations and heart arrhythmias we should not dismiss the notion of entrainment The natural ways to entrain your heart and body are numerous. Meditation, breathing techniques, visualization, and biofeedback are just a few. I look at this notion much deeper than I can relate in one article. I perceive that true entrainment is harmony within your body and mind, harmony with nature, harmony with everyone and everything around you. Not an easy task. Peace on the inside however, always translates to a better experience of this incredible gift we call life! Hope you enjoy the book!

Election Day Tuesday, November 6 The Presidential election is Tuesday November 6th. Before going to vote, It is a good idea to review what to expect and the laws regulating the elections this year. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. This is a general election and that means that unlike the spring primary election, voters may cross party lines to vote for candidates of their choice from any political party. The new voter identification law has not been overturned, but has been set aside for this election. Voters might be asked to show identification at the polls, but must be allowed to vote if they do not have it with them. Should you arrive at your polling place, and they do not have record of you as a voter at that poll, because you are newly registered or changed your registration status in any way, you will be permitted to cast a provisional ballot. Casting a provisional ballot means that you will fill out a paper ballot and it will be sent to the voter registration office. If your name is certified at the registration office and the vote count is close enough for provisional votes to make a difference, your ballot will be counted. If you have already filed an absentee ballot, it will be at your polling place until the close of polls at 8 p.m. It will then be opened and your vote included in the total. If you have voted by absentee and your circumstances allow you vote in person, you may go to your polling place and vote in person if you wish (it is entirely up to you) Tell the clerk
at the polls that you want to vote in person but have filed an absentee ballot and the judge of elections will then destroy your absentee ballot before you vote in person. If, in the days left before the election, you receive any mail or phone call questioning your qualifications or rights to vote, please contact Northampton County Voter Registration office at 610-5593055. They will determine if you are able to vote and check to be sure you are not being targeted with an attempt at voter fraud or suppression. If you are in doubt about where to vote you may check with the PA Department of State on line at https://www. pavoterservices.state.pa.us/ Pages/PollingPlaceInfo.aspx. Remember to vote and to avoid lines and delays, go to polls in late morning or early afternoon.

The basement has 3 candle niches in the stone walls, large supporting stone arch and a wide exterior door with tree branch lock. One very unusual feature is the South-facing entrance door, which is flush with the stone facade and not recessed as is seen in most other early, local stone homes.Most rooms have been lovingly restored by removing carpeting and tile floors, dry wall, wallpaper, popcorn ceilings and installing period-correct windows.

Give a Beginning Farmer a Chance By Kathie Starkweather, kathies@cfra.org, Center for Rural Affairs
How have small towns around you changed over the last 30 years? How many young families live there? How many of them farm or ranch? At the Center for Rural Affairs we work to help communities find ways to change these trends. Thousands of prospective farmers and ranchers visit the Center for Rural Affairs’ beginning farmer and rancher web pages each month. They are mostly young families with a desire to farm or ranch, looking for information on how to get started, as well as for land and financing. Our Land Link program, which matches retiring farmers and ranchers to beginners, has over 300 hopeful individuals, willing to move almost anywhere in rural America to fulfill their dreams.

Most people who got into farming and ranching did so through some sort of “sweetheart deal.” My father had no money, but he had a wife and two kids and wanted to provide for that family by farming. He found a farmer and built a relationship, resulting in a land contract on 40 acres. He eventually owned it, fixed up a falling down house, and made a decent living for us. Perhaps you and your neighbors could work together to find some land for a beginner. Perhaps you can speak to farmers or ranchers who will retire soon about the importance of building your town in this way? Imagine bragging at the local coffee shop about helping a young family get started in farming or ranching.

Both Northampton and Nazareth suffer losses Northampton’s Konkrete Kids scored a touchdown in the second and fourth quarter, but Liberty tallied TD’s in the first, second and third quarters to win 21-14 on Friday night. Northampton quarterback Nick Cook was sacked six times. Jared Bauer ran two yards for the first Northampton score and caught a 16yard pass from Cook for the other. Both of Aaron Kern’s kicks were good. Northampton fell to 1-7 in Lehigh Valley Conference play and is 2-7 for the season overall. This Friday at 7 p.m. they host a tough Whitehall team on Senior Parent Night. On Friday, the Whitehall Zephyrs edged the undefeated Easton Red Rovers. Next Friday, Northampton will host East Stroudsburg South, and it doesn’t get any easier for the black and orange on Thanksgiving Day when they travel to Catasauqua, a team that on Friday won the Colonial League title. Playing with two of their starters suspended for an off-the-field issue, Nazareth’s Blue Eagles lost 35-14 to the visiting Emmaus Green Hornets on Friday night. Both star running back Jordan Gray and center Brandon Lance were out of the lineup after being suspended indefinitely. Nazareth scored the first points in the second quarter on a 9-yard pass from quarterback Parrish Simmons to Alex Tonnies, and they didn’t get another score until the
fourth quarter when Anthony Gaetaniello took a 36 yard pass from Simmons. Shabbar Bokhart took the place of Gray and rushed for 103 yards on 22 carries and caught three passes from Simmons for another 38 yards. One of his rushes for 15 yards figured in that first scoring drive. Tomorrow night, Nazareth travels to Easton, who until last Friday was undefeated. It’s their final game, as the blue and white has a 5-4 overall record and 4-4 in the LVC. The defending champions District 11 AAAA champions are now out of the playoffs.

NORTHAMPTON COUNTY Deputy Wildlife Conservation Officer Greg Borger is shown releasing both hen and cockbird pheasants from their pens. They flew long distances as he and Lehigh County WCO Kevin Halbfoerster watched.. – Home News photo A total of 400 male and female pheasants were released on open fields in Lehigh County on Wednesday, Oct. 24. They came from the Loyalsock Game Farm in Lycoming County. Northampton County Deputy Wildlife Conservation Officer Greg Borger said they were two-year-old birds. Others at Loyalsock are retained for breeding purposes. Lehigh County WCO Kevin Halbfoerster watched as the deputy pulled back slats of wood from the crates and the pheasants flew out and went beyond sight to find a place to land that has favorable habitat. WCO Brad Kreider told delegates of the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs last week that it is the Pa. Game Commission’s policy at present to release pheasants only on open lands of 16 acres or more where hunters have access. There are three parts to the small game season.

Consult your PGC Hunters’ Digest to see when it is legal to shoot either cockbirds or hens, or both. Hunters are warned that they may not take any pheasants on any pheasant recovery area, the closest one being in Schuylkill County.

displays, and her song would become their anthem. She doesn't know when the first decorator discovered "The House On Christmas Street" and synchronized lights to it, but the trend has grown worldwide and the internet now features numerous videos of houses as far away as Australia are playing her song. Thousands of people visiting those displays hear her song each season. Now Pancoast has released a second Christmas album in "The House On Christmas Street" series; this one is entitled "Christmas with Mrs. Clause" and includes the much in-demand jazzed up remix of her hit, plus seven new original and Pancoast's versions of traditional carols.
Each homeowner of the tour has invited Pancoast to perform at their house because they love her music, and all of the expenses of the tour have been covered by donations from fans. She's being flown by fans from her New England home to Seattle for the West Coast leg of the tour, including concerts in Washington, California, Oregon, and Idaho. From there she will fly back to Boston to continue driving over eightthousand miles and visiting 24 homes between November 24th and December 24th, and each homeowner will collect donations for his or her favorite charity at Judy's Concert. Jason Reph is excited to have her come back on her 2012 tour. Her visit in 2010 was when he debuted his charity donations and also was inspired to get a donation box to collect for a charity. The charity he chose was Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation which is dedicated to finding a cure to pediatric
cancer and also supports the Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital in Concord, NC. The first year, Reph collected $235 for the JGCF. In 2011 he collected $249.46 and he hopes to collect even more with the help of promoting the tour, concert and charity cause. Jeff Gordon's Foundation does multiple events during the year to help raise money for his foundation including a Celebrity Bowling Tournament, his yearly Corvette Raffle and new for 2012 KICK-IT Kickball games. Jeff also visits the hospital a few times a year and has been to Africa, Rwanda to be more specific to open a cancer center called Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence, with former president Bill Clinton and NASCAR driver and major donor Jeff Gordon. Jeff Gordon was also named 2012 Heisman Humanitarian Recipient. The concert will begin at 7p.m. at the Reph home at 198 Firehouse Lane, Nazareth, PA 18064. Attendees are encouraged to bring a donation for the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation that is dedicated to finding a cure for pediatric cancer and supports the Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital in Concord, NC.

News Sermonette Dr. Bob Hampton
Carpenter’s Community Church
Here’s My Vote I suspect I’m not alone in deducing that our country has not been this polarized in its ideological convictions since our unCivil War a century and a half ago. I plead for people of Faith to do the right thing, to uphold our elected officials in prayer and to exercise our freedoms in socially responsible ways. Having said this, I am now going to exercise one of my freedoms in just this manner in anticipation of the election – my freedom of speech. Am I hearing a backlash from ideologues decrying my encroachment upon the sacrosanct “separation of church and state” clause of the non-Constitution (it ain’t in there)? Nevertheless, I am going to risk my church’s 501C-3 non-taxable right and appeal to my 2nd Amendment Right of guns blazing in support of a particular candidate and ask for you to vote for him also. We live within a democracy. Duh. But if we profess to be a Christian, we are privileged with dual-citizenship. We are citizens of both Pennsylvania and Heaven; the former I love, the latter I long for. Regarding my earthly civic duty, I voted for – well I didn’t vote yet. That’ll happen in 10 days. But regarding my Heavenly responsibility, I vote every day for Jesus Christ. True, technically I don’t vote for Him. He governs with or without my vote. He reigns supreme as King of kings, Lord of lords and Potentate of Presidents, including whoever wins on November 6. 236 years ago America declared its independence from a monarchy. Today I’m calling for Christians everywhere to reverse that declaration and proclaim our dependence upon a monarchy – but not an earthly one. “Cast your vote” today and everyday for Jesus the Messiah (“Anointed One”, i.e. King), the One Who grants “life and liberty to all who believe”.

destroy it. Neighbors Ed and Scarlett Werner were also surprised that the damage locally wasn't worse. "It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It could have been a lot worse. Ed Werner said as he looked around his nearly unscathed property. Others were not so lucky. Bob Densmore who lives just a few miles away on 248 had nine trees in his yard that were uprooted or toppled by the wind. Siding scattered yards and fields as cleanup began Tuesday Morning. Late Monday night in the Borough of Bath, property owners Carol and Darrin Heckman were keeping an eye on things and picking up debris as the winds worsened. With the downed trees, utility lines also came down across the area, closing roadways and causing motorists to re-route their commute. Portions of routes 248, 512 and 946 were closed as well as more than two dozen roadways in Northampton County. PPL reported 60,000 customers in Northampton County without power and Met-Ed reported 229,500 early Tuesday afternoon. Crews were prepared for the storm and were out working hard to restore power. Social media sites like Twitter and Facebook were abuzz with power outage and damage reports. Those brave enough to step outside took photos of the
damage and as reports came in of the destruction "down the shore" people from all over are area began to realize just how bad the storm was when it came ashore. New Jersey Governor Christie called the destruction at the Jersey Shore "absolute devastation" Tuesday morning. The complete damage of the storm may not be known for days or weeks to come. Garbage Collection Delayed The Borough of Bath issued a notice early Monday that due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy, garbage collection in the Borough of Bath would be delayed until today (Thursday) November 1, 2012.

The two major political parties in the United States are the Republican and Democratic parties. They often go ‘head-to-head," especially during the debates, when they use their heads to think and answer questions quickly! Other, smaller political parties have their own points of view and their own candidates running for office.

What Karate Has Done For Me
Megan Hendricks - Ready for her black belt.
By Megan Hendricks
I'm 11 years old and go to Action Karate Nazareth since May 2010. I'm getting ready to test for my junior black belt. It's been a hard, fun road to get where I am in my martial arts. Karate has had a positive effect in my life. From learning katas to self defense. Action Karate instructors make you feel like part of the family. I'm very dedicated to my martial arts, I practice everyday and attend 5 days a week. It's helped with my self-discipline, self-control, and focus at school and home. When I started karate as a basic belt (white, yellow, orange) everything was new to me but I was determined. My struggles in basics was learning balance with kicks. Sticking to it I can now kick over my head. I moved into my next set of belts which are intermediate (blue, green, purple) we started jump spin kicks which I found hard. With the instructors and hard work I was able to get the hang of them. My Sensai, Mr. Bittner never let me give up and I am so thankful to him and his wonderful staff. There are tournaments twice a year that we compete against other Action Karate schools in the area. I won 6 first place trophies, 2 second place trophies and 1 third place. As I got into it more Mr. Bittner saw something in my dedication and asked me to try out for the demo team. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. I love being part of the demo team and working with my
November 1-7, 2012 15 karate friends. Now I worked my way up to co-captain of the demo team. We travel to different places and show people what Action Karate is all about. We show how much fun learning karate can be. Sparing lets us put on equipment and have selfcontrolled contact. It helps us learn what it would feel like to use our self-defense if in a real-life situation. I was so scared in the beginning because I didn't want to be hurt or hurt someone even if it was self-controlled. As the instructors taught the ins and outs of sparing I got more comfortable. Sparing is my favorite thing now. It makes me more confident in being able to handle myself. Martial Arts has been a great influence in my life. It offers positive influence and confidence every girl needs. It is important to know how to handle yourself in a threatening situation. My junior black belt will be my greatest achievement yet. As I go into testing I will be nervous, but know I will give it my all. Thank you to Mr. Bittner and his wonderful staff.
