Fall Clean-up Day in Lower Supervisor Snover balks at DEP Regs on Lehigh Tp. Outfalls Nazareth Tp. this Saturday

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The fall clean-up day in Lower Nazareth Township will be this Saturday, Oct. 20. It is the last year that the township will accept electronics on clean-up day. A new law prohibits them in landfills. Residents will have to use the Northampton County electronics recycling events, like the one held recently at Northampton Community College, which was free of charge.

Township Manager Timm Tenges also noted at a recent supervisiors meeting that in order to be in compliance with Act 101, there will be a spring curbside yard waste collection in May 2013, similar to the fall leaf collection

which was expected to begin this past Friday.

Development Shown At the Supervisors meeting on Oct. 10, they were shown plans for a proposed development called Stone Post Meadows along Hecktown Rd. and Country Club Rd. Martin Gilchrist said it is a unique plan of an upscale apartment community with commercial portions. He said it would include 50% one-bedroom units and 50% two-bedroom units, with 10 acres for offices and clubhouse.

Proposed for a 5-6 year build-out, Gilchrist listed the projected populations in the residences – 220 retired people, 91 empty nesters, 396 young professionals, 55 Continued on page 10

Three Area Farms Part of 468,092 Pa. Acres Preserved Pennsylvania’s Agricultural Land Preservation Board on Oct. 12 safeguarded 2,138 additional acres on 22 farms against development through the state’s nationally renowned farmland preservation program.

The board preserved farms in Adams, Bedford, Berks, Bucks, Chester, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Montgomery, Northampton, Susquehanna, Union and Washington counties.

Since the program began in 1988, state, county and local governments have invested nearly $1.2 billion to preserve 468,092 acres on 4,342 farms in 57 counties for future agriculture production.

Here in Northampton County, those preserved include: The Robert, Jr. and

Elizabeth Baggit farm, a 127.16-acre crop farm; the Larry and Elizabeth Kemmerer farm, a 98.44-acre crop farm; and the Mariann Ulecka farm, a 19.19-acre crop farm.

“Preserving farmland is an important part of securing a stable financial future for Pennsylvania agriculture,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig. “As the cornerstone of our state’s economy, agriculture generates $5.7 billion in annual cash receipts.

One in seven jobs is linked to agriculture, so by preserving farmland, we’re sustaining farms and ensuring jobs.”

The program enables state, county and local governments to purchase conservation easements, also called development rights, from owners of quality farmland.

Township Engineer Phillip Malitsch on Tuesday, Oct. 9 told the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors that there are 600 outfalls to be inspected and documented. The many outfalls in the Township drain into the larger streams and creeks. Hanover Engineering could handle about 120 in a year, he said. These include culverts, drainage areas, and catch basins from 2006 to 2012 that need to be inspected, mapped and reported to the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection.

Malitsch estimated it would cost the township $2,000 the first year, and $7,000 to $10,000 each year after that.

DEP is concerned about the quality of the watersheds and benchmarks are set for each on the amount of pollution that is present.

Supervisors Chairman Darryl Snover said these are unfunded mandates that come with developments and finan-

cially impact the township.

He hoped for an extension of time, so the board could talk with state legislators. “It’s not a minor expense,” he said.

Malitsch said his office will keep their eyes open for grant opportunities that could help the township. Snover said he will talk to a legislator. Supervisor Keith Hantz added that perhaps the township’s road crew could get involved with the task.

Act 537 DEP is also connected with another issue, in which Act 537 on sewerage would have to be updated if a property that Lehigh Engineering owns can be used for a business.

The township has an Act 537 plan that was created in 1993.

It contains three provisions that must be met, Lehigh Engineering’s Larry Turoczy said: (1) Study of need (2) Alternative designs and (3) Financing such as PennVest. He said the new owners of the property could provide threequarters of a million dollars

in taxes to the school district and $75,000 to the township each year. Turning lanes and traffic lights would be paid by Lehigh Engineering, Turoczy said.

The supervisors, township engineer and planning commission would be willing to sit down with DEP to determine where they have to go to get water and sewerage to the property in an amended Act 537 plan, Snover noted. The Borough of Walnutport has agreed to go with the sewerage allocation, according to Turoczy.

Other Matters • A representative from the Woodstone Country Club golf course showed the board a drawing of a proposed sign that depicts the club, verbage and a picket fence, that would be placed with the township sign and include landscaping around it.

Content, including text, images, ads and online material may not be re-produced, copied, published either in whole or in part, without the consent of the Publisher(s).

Your newspaper will be there for you.

A simple statement, but let’s break it down a bit.

Your newspaper … That’s right, all yours, assembled just for you, tailored to where you live, emphasizing the things that affect you, keeping track of the people and players in your community.

Your newspaper is put together by people in a newsroom that was built for you, where people work to supply information that matters to you, from the details of that crash you passed by on Tuesday to biographies of the candidates for your school board to notices of what’s on sale at your local supermarket. …Will be there for you. Be where? On your porch, in your mail, at your convenience store and, yeah, sometimes in your bushes. But also at your township hall, inside your local police department, attending your city council meeting, watching your elections. It will be where you can’t, paying attention, keeping watch, asking questions, making the record public.

And you can take it wherever you’re going without worrying about battery life or Wi-Fi connections.

Some say newspapers are dying, that people get their news today from the Internet, TV and radio. But where do the Internet, TV and radio get their news? From the newsrooms of America’s newspapers, large and small, which still encompass the nation’s largest newsgathering force. Other information providers may add opinion, pictures or sound, but most of the time, the facts begin in the newsrooms of newspapers, where journalists are there for you, cultivating sources, combing through records, asking tough questions.

A few generations back, TV

and radio were supposed to be the death of newspapers. Instead, they were catalysts for newspapers to dig further, to offer context, analysis, perspective and storytelling that the electronic media couldn’t deliver. TV and radio didn’t kill newspapers; they made them deeper, smarter and more thoughtful.

For about a generation now, the Internet has supposedly been driving newspapers into extinction.

Nope. It’s just given their newsrooms another platform to deliver journalism that now includes videos, interactive graphics and access to informational archives built for years by …

Guess which medium?

Unlike websites and bloggers, newspapers are fixtures in their communities. Most of them were around long before personal computers and smartphone apps, chronicling life, dissecting trends and exposing things that needed some air. And unlike less-established media, their newsrooms operate with standards and ethics intended to assure the credibility of the information they deliver. They don’t just make the record; they protect it, too. It’s a responsibility, a trust, a duty.

And while newspapers and their newsrooms have always broken stories, the Internet has now enabled them to cover breaking news, too, with reporting that goes directly up on-line — just as soon as it meets those newsroom standards.

So the evolution continues.

But the mission remains the same: To be there. For you. Because it’s your newspaper.

Lehigh Tp. Continued from page 1 said that procedures have to be followed, where Woodstone would need to secure a permit from the zoning officer, and if she denies it, they would have to appeal to the zoning hearing board.

The board voted 3-2 to approve this procedure.

Rd. from the Matthew Motsko property was discussed. It goes along a swale to a culvert at Cottonwood & Dogwood Rds. A neighbor has put in drains, but is still looking to the township for a solution to the problem of water and sediment. It was suggested that the property owner, engineer and township road foreman get together at the site and figure out a solution.

• Mike McDermitt submitted his resignation as a member of the Lehigh Township Planning Commission. It was accepted by the supervisors A replacement would serve until the remainder of his term.

• Supervisor Keith Hantz pointed out that soccer is a fall sport, and if baseball is played on an adjoining field, it could be a safety issue because of flying baseballs.

• Teams that used the fields recently gave $1,276 to the township.

a maintenance building figures into it.

• The board granted an extension of time until Jan. 31, 2013 to the Franklin Scott subdivision, where land is to be subdivided for his children.

• It was agreed that Pamela Herschman should start in October to serve as secretary at Recreation Board meetings.

• In submitting his September summary of activities performed by the police department, Chief of Police Scott Fogel also reported that there was an assault at a group home against police and an EMT. . .He noted that a drug take-back initiative will be started, and helping it along with funding for boxes is Bechtel’s Pharmacy.

Outdated drugs would be collected throughout the year. . . .Chief Fogel said that he believes other things are more needed than a decibel level unit, which would also require police training. . . .An identification program is being set up for children.

• Supervisor Dell Grove reported on ad sales, which will make the township newsletter cost-free to the township. The cover may illustrate the Lehigh Township Volunteer Fire Co., and an article will be written about the unit. It was also suggested that churches and non-profit organizations should be listed.

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip Nazareth had their big Halloween parade on Saturday afternoon. The weather was great for it. Let’s hope it’s the same way when the Bath Firefighters’ turn for their parade comes next Tuesday, the 23rd.. By the way, since it will be past deadline time for the paper, those results and pictures will have to be shown the following week, I’m told. . . .Trick or treat times are different this year on account of Halloween coming on a Wednesday, but that doesn’t matter. Just have a good time, kids, and be safe. Mom and Dad might go along with you, and it would be a good idea if folks who are home have their porch or lawn lights on when the young’uns come looking for candy. . . . Billy Santo was up from Maryland over the weekend to attend his class reunion. He came into town and was pleased to see how nice the Monocacy Creek Park looks. I hear he knows the owner of the company that made the town clock. He told Billy that they made two clocks, one that was smashed to smithereens and the one we have now. Those steel poles are doing the job. . . .

Italian pasta dinner at the Lutheran church last week. An Oktoberfest open house that Alexandria Manor is having down at Ciff Cowling Field this Thursday morning and afternoon – with knockwurst

and sauerkraut, German potato salad and root beer and birch beer. And then a pork and sauerkraut dinner up at Little Moore church this Saturday. Ummm, good!!! Reckon I’m off my diet. . . . Took notice a column in an area newspaper about rushing Christmas even before Halloween. I agree 100% C’mon, now, Christmas is more than two months away. Let’s not push all the Christmas music, the cards, and other commercial things that go along with it before Thanksgiving. . .

How d’ya like those wild card games, and now the American League and National League playoffs? Seems, the pitchers are pretty much in control. I had figured the Yankees and Cardinals were gonna be in the World Series, but now that Derek Jeter has a broken ankle, I’m leaning toward Detroit getting in there. But it will be the Cardinals, ‘cause they’re hitting. Just look what they did to those Nationals!

It’s fun, but I wish the Phillies were in it. Oh well, next year maybe. . . . Forget those Eagles. Look what happened in the overtime on Sunday.

What a bummer that was! . . . .

It got pretty cold the last part of last week, but I don’t think we had any frost. It can hold off a while longer. I’m hoping my mums will do all right outdoors. . . . My sympathies to Pastor Klingborg of the Chap-

Let’s hope we don’t get another one this year. Maybe I’ll check the Farmers’ Almanac and see what’s ahead for us.

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

Healthcare Transformation Clearly, I am not the first to tell of the looming changes that will affect healthcare in the United States generally, the Lehigh Valley specifically, and you precisely.

Rather than outline what I think may happen I can only be sure of one thing, we find ourselves at a point where this new and improved healthcare plan will cost us much more while providing much less. We need to take responsibil-

ity for our own health now more than ever. We need a natural perspective on our step forward.

The day has dawned when healthcare professionals of all types AND patients are being backed into a corner. The hoops we all have to jump through is astounding.

profits. They are allowed to make a profit. Why would any of us expect differently? They are not a nonprofit organization like a church.

As far as who should get “the blame”, I will leave that to greater thinkers than I. However, for many years now our office has seen an absurd rise in patient co-payments. So high in fact, that the co-payments, more often than not, exceed the office fees! In essence, the patient is not really using their insurance at all.

I do not see this trend reversing in the near future; in fact I see it getting worse. You may not be aware of the recent changes Highmark insurance has made which affects treatment approval for care in chiropractic offices, physical therapy, occupational medicine, and others which took affect September 1st.

Highmark’s new approval policy is based upon a questionnaire given to the patient. The answers to these questions are then sent back to Highmark who runs it through mysterious predetermined, computer generated algorithm parameters, which determines how many visits and what type of procedures are approved. As an aside, we have been calling our Highmark representative for eight weeks now with no return calls.

Ladies and gentlemen, I see the real issue before us as how are we going to get healthier so we don’t need to use our healthcare system, not use it as much, or to maximize the limited benefits offered. Understand that I am specifically talking about the diseases and disorders that we, me, you, can absolutely control and have some impact on the outcome.

For those in earshot, take heed.

If you were waiting for a reason to get healthier, stay healthier, I think you found it! To be clear, emergency care, such as surgeries and broken bones, accidents in general cannot be controlled and we should be glad if we have some healthcare policy that will cover some of the costs. It’s everything else that we need to personally address to limit the burden.

If you smoke, stop. Quit drinking alcohol. Brush and floss your teeth twice per day. Wash, clean, and groom daily. Sanitize. Clean your surroundings. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and healthy proteins and oils. Consume plenty of clean water. Exercise at least four days per week. Rest and get the appropriate amount of sleep. Take precise supplements that address any family history problems. Practice prevention which includes all of the above and perhaps year physicals and blood work to keep a baseline.

The potential list of positive action steps could continue: Pursue healthy relationships while resolving or ending bad ones. Let go of guilt and fear. Read your Bible.

Further educate yourself. Develop healthy hobby and interests. If you would allow me to ramble a bit more I could include; get involved with your life again instead of just letting life happen to you. Dream again. Smile, laugh, and fall in

love or back in love. Your health will improve. Your life will improve.

Test me on this. If I am wrong then you’re just a lot happier and better off in general!!!

The new healthcare transformation is forcing us to go back to simpler methods. It is what we should have been doing all along. We can’t throw money at this problem. We need to throw celery, peppers, tomatoes and such. Natural health maintenance has nothing to do

www.HomeNewsPA.com with health insurance, deductibles, co-pays, nor prescriptions. It has everything to do with our quality of life and our longevity. You need to be around to leave a legacy for your kids and grandkids. Be there healthy.

Social Hall Makes Critical Donation

By Alice Wanamaker The Home News

The Bath Fire Co. Social Hall made a donation of $500 to the Bath Area Food Bank earlier this week. The donation came at a time when cash and food supplies are at an all time low, and demand is at an all time high.

The Bath Area Food Bank, located at the Lutheran Church 206 East Main Street in Bath has seen a five percent rise in the families they serve this month alone, with 203 families registered. Of those 203 families there are at least four hundred people including 200 children under 18 and seniors over 60. The numbers have been increasing since 2008 locally, regionally and nationally.

The donation will help the volunteers purchase necessary staples such as bread and side dishes that are typically not donated. The Bath Area Food Bank’s cash on hand was at a critical level, “We had $700 before this donation,” said Food Bank Director Jeannie Judd Wager, “this will help supplement the donations from Second Harvest and

Ahart’s Market.”

Jeannie reported that the food bank spends about $2,500 a month at the grocery store because items that are needed are not always donated. Some items like tuna, pet food, bread and holiday meals are almost always purchased.

The food bank does get items from Second Harvest, but they too are experiencing low food levels and donations as well as increased demand. In addition, the state programs that have previously assisted the food banks have been cut.

You can make a donation of non-perishable items to the food bank on the first Monday of the month. You can also drop donations off at many of the local churches, Ahart’s Market and Dr. Marino’s Chiropractic office during regular business hours. In addition to unopened non-perishable food items the food bank also accepts appliances such as microwaves and toaster ovens in good working condition, pet food and other household supplies. For more information or to make a donation please contact Jeannie Judd Wagner at 610-392-1199.

tion school, we try to mirror the curriculum from our students’ home schools as best we can to ensure rigor and consistency,” said Craig Reichl, Assistant Principal of Colonial Academy.

Without the addition of technology, we are missing a vital educational component that is offered to most of our students in their home schools. Partnering with Discovery Education to bring their digital resources to our students offers opportunities for learning and interacting with text and technology that enable our school to be consistent with other schools in our area.”

A complete digital solution that replaces traditional textbooks, the Science Techbook features compelling video, interactive text, digital simulations, virtual and hands-on labs and an interactive glossary with animations, audio and video. The Techbook is designed to meet the needs of individual learning styles, inspire curiosity, promote critical thinking, enable projectbased learning and support teachers in implementing the Common Core State Standards.

The program includes detailed lesson plans for novice and experienced teachers as well as integrated, on-going professional development. Because it’s constantly updated, the Techbook allows teachers to incorporate current issues and recent scientific breakthroughs into their curriculum. It also includes an assessment component that measures students’ progress and recommends individualized resources that reinforce classroom instruction. Significantly less expensive than traditional textbooks and with a delivery platform that is scalable, this allin-one resource works with any device, including iPads, tablets, mobile devices, laptops or desktops, maximizing investment in existing technology and lowering district costs.

“Discovery Education is excited to partner with Colonial Academy to bring learning alive through innovative, interactive, digital resources,” said Jason Barnes of Discovery Education.

“This partnership proves Colonial Academy’s commitment to transforming teaching and learning with always up-to-date content that inspires and engages students, enhances 21st century skills, supports teachers and positively impacts achievement.”

Northampton routed by Easton; Nazareth shuts out Becahi Easton’s Red Rovers ran their winning streak to 7-0 overall and 6-0 in the Lehigh Valley Conference as they beat Northampton’s Konkrete Kids, 49-28, on Friday at Al Erdosy Stadium.

Junior quarterback Nick Cook was sacked seven times

by Easton’s defense and was limited to 19 rushing yards on 21 attempts. The Red Rovers had 21 points on the board before the Konkrete Kids had any, but to the locals’ credit they did muster 28 points on the night against a tough team that’s rated so high in the state in Class AAAA football. Cook is respected for his passes and he has good receivers, and Easton knew that they had a tough opponent. He threw for 304 yards on the night, and rushed for two touchdowns, but was intercepted twice.

Cook threw to wideout Kyle George for an 80-yard score and passed another big one, 63 yards to Ray Ramos, while Brandon Heimbach scored from two yards out. Cook ran the ball in from one yard out in the second quarter for a TD and got another score on an 11-yard run in the final quarter. Easton scored in every quarter to seal the victory.

Friday night, Northampton

travels to Freedom for their game at 7 p.m. The orange and black’s record now stands at 2-5 and 1-5.

Nazareth Nazareth’s Blue Eagles, after suffering a loss last week to Parkland, rebounded strongly to rip Becahi, 30-0, in their homecoming game at Andrew Leh Stadium.

Quarterback Parrish Simmons ran for 131 yards and two touchdowns and running back Jordan Gray ran 184 yards. Simmons had another TD, but it was called back on a holding penalty. He threw 8 of 12 passes good for 83 yards. Two of Nazareth’s points came on a safety when the Becahi quarterback was called for intentional grounding in the end zone. With 14 points scored in the first quarter, Tom Rollins scored one of them on a 28-yard pass from Simmons. The final points for the Blue Eagles came in the third quarter on a 5-yard run by Shabbar Bokhari. All three of Ben Wieczorek’s extra points kicks went through the uprights.

Friday night’s game finds Nazareth traveling to Allentown Central Catholic for their 7 p.m. game. Nazareth is now 5-2 overall and 4-2 in the LVC.

Vet Says PGC Should Consider Ban on Deer Feeding with Arrival of CWD

(Editor’s Note: Pennsylvania, until now, has avoided chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer. It had been only in Maryland, New York and W. Virginia. But a deer has gotten the fatal disease on a deer farm in Adams County. The following report comes from the Penn State U. College of Agricultural Sciences.)

On the heels of finding chronic wasting disease in a Pennsylvania deer, it's time for the state's game commissioners to consider a ban on deer feeding. That's the conclusion of a veterinarian in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences.

It actually is past time, noted David Wolfgang, extension veterinarian and field studies director in veterinary and biomedical sciences.

"The commissioners should follow the advice they have been given by a variety of deer experts, including the agency's own wildlife veterinarian, and stop the feeding of deer," he said. "When we feed deer, we congregate the animals, and that dramatically increases the potential that diseases, such as chronic wasting disease, will spread among them. There is no disagreement about that."

The Board of Game Commissioners in the past has outlawed the feeding of bears and elk in the state, so there is precedent for banning the feeding of deer, Wolfgang pointed out. "It would be wise for them to go ahead now and do the right thing for the wildlife of Pennsylvania," he said.

Wolfgang represents Penn State on the state's Chronic Wasting Disease Task Force, which also includes representatives from the Game Commission and the state departments of Agriculture and Health.

He is most concerned about another practice that game commissioners could stop: the placing of salt or mineral blocks for deer.

"Where salt licks or mineral blocks are put out, obviously deer congregate, and that is bad enough," Wolfgang explained. "But what's worse is that after being exposed to rain and snow, the minerals leach into the surrounding ground, and then for years deer bite and chew at the dirt.

"If a CWD-infected deer would visit the mineral lick, prions that spread the disease likely would get into the soil from its urine and feces.

The last thing we want is for deer to be eating dirt in areas where deer have congregated."

Wolfgang, who is a past president of the Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association, also is worried about the wide use of deer urine by bowhunters as a lure or attractant.

He suggested that game commissioners consider banning that practice in Pennsylvania, as well.

Doe urine, collected at deer farms across the country, is packaged commercially and sold to help

archers draw into arrow-shooting range the mature bucks they seek.

"Some scientists now wonder if the wide distribution of doe urine might be partly responsible for the spread of CWD from the West to the East," he said.

"Doe urine from deer in other states should not be introduced into Pennsylvania soils. Even the small risk that the purchased doe urine might contain CWD-causing prions should discourage responsible hunters from using it."

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture in early October confirmed the first positive case of chronic wasting disease in the state on a deer farm in Adams County.

The three-year-old doe was born at a deer farm in Lycoming County and had lived at a deer farm in York County as well. Subsequently the state quarantined all three locations.

Agriculture Department officials are now trying to determine whether other captive deer at those facilities were infected, and if CWD might have been passed onto wild deer in those areas.

The disease attacks the brains of infected deer, elk and moose, producing small lesions that eventually result in death. It is transmitted by direct animal-to-animal contact through saliva, feces and urine.

Infected animals may not show signs of the disease in the early stages, which can last for years.

However, as the disease progresses, infected animals begin to lose body functions, and display abnormal behaviors, such as staggering or failing to respond to threats, such as the approach of humans or predators. Animals may stand with legs spread far apart, carry their head and ears lowered, and often drool excessively.

Infected animals appear to be in poor body condition and some become emaciated. Infected animals are often found near water and drink large quantities. However, these symptoms are characteristic of diseases other than CWD and that is why the diagnosis comes only after death. The only certified test for CWD requires killing an animal and examining its brainstem.

CWD first was discovered in Colorado captive mule deer in 1967 and since has been detected in 22 states and Canadian provinces, including Pennsylvania's neighboring states of New York, West Virginia and Maryland. Pennsylvania is the 23rd state to find CWD in either a captive or wild deer population and the 13th state to have it only in a captive deer herd.

Although chronic wasting disease is fatal in deer, elk and moose, there is no evidence that it can be transmitted to humans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.

tors, and a problem for the Hecktown Fire Co. to reach the three-story buildings.

The site is adjacent to Hugh Moore Park.

The plans were referred to the planning commission for text review.

Other Matters • A preliminary/final site plan for the Miller solar energy system was approved with a buffer of trees.

• An extension of time for the Dr. Cyan land development was granted to Dec. 15, 2012.

• Tenges expects to have figures ready so that the township budget can be adopted for 2012-13 on Dec. 12.

CRPD Costs At the September 26 meeting, Tenges was authorized to write a letter to the Colonial Regional Police Commission about forming a committee to discuss Lower Nazareth’s contribution in the CRPD 2013 budget. At this point, it would go from $1,043,332 to $1,091,743, a 4.6% increase.

Tenges said then that it would be difficult for Lower Nazareth to handle this increase because revenue is down and 2013 could very well be one of their worst years.

Of major concern is the large number of retail theft calls the police get to the Northampton Crossings mall, requiring a lot of the officers’ time and taking them off their patrol duties.

skies.

At least five bands were in the line of march, including Nazareth’s senior high and middle school Blue Eagle bands, and two from the Bethlehem Area School District. Nazareth High alumni also had a band to entertain the crowd.

A number of floats were included, but it was mainly the individuals in costumes and cheerleaders and football teams, and Cub and Boy Scouts that were dominant.

Winners who were judged can pick up their prizes at the sponsoring Vigilance Hose Co.

Nazareth Borough Council takes action On Several issues

At its October 1 meeting, Nazareth Borough Council approved the following actions:

– To advertise for the hiring of more part-time police officers.

– The staging of the October 13, 2012 Halloween parade.

– Request of the Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce for use of the circle on Monday, Oct. 22 for the office grand opening event.

– To install a zoned heating arrangement to include necessary thermostats and wiring at 30 Belvidere St. with a spending maximum of $3,000.

– To allow slack lines for individual use to be installed at Memorial Park on a temporary basis. Approval waivers cannot conflict with other approved use of Memorial Park.

Slack lines must be apporoved each following use and users of slack lines must sign standard release forms.

Schoeneck Moravian Celebrates 250th year Schoeneck Moravian Church in Nazareth celebrated its 250th anniversary with Lovefest services on Sunday morning. They were led by the church’s former pastor, The Rev. G. Hopeton Clennon.

Founded on Oct. 3, 1762, the original church was a log structure built on a tract of land purchased by the Moravians from George Whitefield. A stone church was dedicated in 1793 and the present church at 316 N. Broad St. Extension was built in 1889. The congregation numbers 500 persons in its membership.

A new history of the congregation, entitled “Faithful Spirits: The First 20 Years of the Schoeneck Moravian Church,” written by local historian Sue Dreydoppel of the Whitefield House Museum, is available at the church office.

News Sermonette James R Snyder, pastor Maranatha Family Christian Fellowship

The Fall The Fall. It’s coming. Apples. Leaves. Sunsets.

School. Change.

The time of year when days are still hot, nights are cool, and skies are…well…gorgeous.

Trees are baring their branches. Grass is fading to brown. The earth is preparing for winter.

This is the season I look forward to every year. I love the Fall.

The Fall. It happened. Apples. (Well, forbidden fruit.) Leaves. (The figgy kind.) Sunsets. (The sun did go down on mankind’s glory days.) School. (Some really hard lessons learned.) Change. (Everything altered.)

The time in our history when God’s love was hot, man’s passion was cold, and skies were…well…probably gorgeous, on the other side of the fog.

Trees are stripped. The grass is suffering from dehydration. The earth is bemoaning perpetual winter.

The season no one looks back on with fondness. I love the Fall.

What?! Can you say that again?

I love the Fall. The season. And the fall of man. Yes, it messed up creation. Yes, it made people ugly. Yes, it even made work harder and less rewarding. But without it where would be redemption – that beautiful, dynamic, life-saving, life-changing power at work in us? Without it there would be no need for a Savior. Without it Jesus Christ is not necessary. What a loss this world would be at! The creator doesn’t show his face. We go on not knowing what God is really like.

We would never know hope – that crazy, youwouldn’t-believe-me-if-I-told-you expectation of good in the midst of controversy, confusion, and chaos. Love would be taken for granted, and faith would be a dream rather than “the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen.”

It takes a loss to appreciate what you have. The loss of innocence woke us up to the wonder of God’s redemptive heart. A promise – the seed of the woman will crush the serpent’s head – and light begins to rise on the shadowy horizon. When the time was ripe, the Light of the world entered his blackened creation in the middle of the night, in a musty, messy cave-stable. With hope. The kind of hope a mother hangs on to in the midst of labor pains.

The kind of hope that ignites an unemployed man when he is called for his second interview. The kind of hope Fall holds looking forward to Spring.

I love the Fall. The season. The smells. The foods.

The beauty. And the promise of Spring.

I love the Fall. Of man. Not the sin. Not the repercussions. Not the ugliness. But the beauty of the hope of change. I love the Fall. Because it promises eternal Spring.
