REMEMBERANCES of 9/11 were given by Cong. Charlie Dent and former Asst. Secy. of Defense Paul McHale at Nazareth program.

The devastation of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that left thousands dead in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Somerset County, Pa., was still felt this past Sunday, on the tenth anniversary. Memorial tributes were paid across the nation. Two of them were in this area, at Nazareth High School and at the Hanover Township Community Center. More than 500 people gathered in Nazareth, where speakers Cong. Charlie Dent and former Congressman and Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul McHale told of their personal experiences that resulted from that tragic September day ten years ago. A large number of volunteer firefighters were present in uniform, and recognized for their heroism and willingness to sacrifice for the lives of others. Cong. Dent told the audience that a small group of men motivated by the fear of our way of life brought on the destruction that changed all of our lives forever. Thousands of people left home on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, never to return again, and as Cong. Dent said, “9-11 continues to shape the lives of every American.” He told the audience about his cousin, Steve McIntyre, who escaped from the 91st
Contract signed for $295,959 Park/streetscape project in Bath By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
A $295,959 contract has been awarded to Grace Industries, Inc. of East Allen Township for the Monocacy Creek Park / Streetscape Phase II project in the Borough of Bath. Council President Robert Fields said on Monday night that the contract was signed by him, sealed by the borough and then hand-delivered by
Borough Manager Richard Klotz to the Grace Industries office this past Friday, Sept. 9. This was done before Klotz apparently suffered a stroke, and who is now a patient in St. Luke’s Hospital, Fountain Hill. Grace Industries has 120 calendar days from Sept. 9 to complete the project. Fields said it consists of a walking trail, park benches, plants, trees, and lights from the park up to a house at the north-
floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower in New York City with 11 co-workers from the American Bureau of Shipping. American Airlines Flight 11 with 92 passengers on board smashed into floors 93-99, just two stories above McIntyre. “Terrorism knows no bounds,” Dent said, and from that terrible day new federal agencies have been born to deal with it. “There are still threats, but we are confident our first responders and Homeland Security are doing all they can. We have to deal with the threat, but there is hope as people are coming together,” Dent concluded. He introduced McHale, who told the audience, “On Sept. 11, liberty came under assault. Al-Quaida saw us as a threat, for we are fiercely committed to dissent, as every human being has the right to do so.” McHale said he was on I-78 enroute to Harrisburg when he heard the news of the planes crashing. A colonel in the Marine Reserves, he turned around and spent the next seven years preparing Marines for attack. He recounted the story of a reporter from the Easton Express, who wanted to join the Marines and serve his country at age 34. Bill Cahir went to Iraq twice, where there was indescribable fighting. Then, in Washington after he came back, he told McHale that he was going to Afghanistan with Marine Civil Affairs. A
sniper’s bullet ended his life on Aug. 12, 2009, at age 40. His wife had twins he never saw. “Those two little girls will never see their father, but they will be the beneficiary of his sacrifice” McHale said. He told the audience: “American men and women have displayed raw courage and sacrifice. Even if it takes a decade, we will pursue justice. Let us remember with reverence the 3,000 who died, and have respect for the men and women who are sacrificing for us today. May we resolutely commit ourselves to which they sacrifice themselves so much to protect liberty.” The program was led by Bill Brackbill, and included much good patriotic music by the Nazareth Community Band and Chorus, along with the Dream Kids. The Colonial Regional Police had a color guard, led by bagpipe major James Ruhf of Bethlehem. Long-time veteran firefighter and ambulance personnel were seated on stage. Brackbill recalled the flights that took off from Boston and Newark that ultimately crashed into buildings and into a field, with the loss of 265 passengers and thousands of others. He also introduced his sonin-law, James Scott, a Secret Service agent, who was at Sunday’s ceremony. It was he who pulled Vice President Dick Cheney away from Continued on page 10

Letters from our Readers The Financial Story of U.S.P.S. To the Editor: Thank you for the recent article on the U.S. Postal Service (U.S.P.S.). I work at Lehigh Valley Processing & Distribution Center as a sorting machine mechanic. I can give you two ways to clear up this U.S.P.S. “shortfall”. But first I want to clear up a major misconception by many people, and that is the
U.S.P.S. receives absolutely zero dollars of any Federal tax money. #1. Last year Congress MANDATED that the U.S.P.S. contribute pre-funding dollars to the Future Retirees Pension Fund (FRPF). No other government agency was mandated. The FRPF already had $39-billion in its coffers. So, the U.S.P.S. complied with an additional OVER PAYMENT of about $65-bil-

lion! By the way, who makes that kind of mistake without being fired? The U.S.P.S. is trying to have this over payment returned. Will this happen? I don’t know –– go ask Charlie Dent and Pat Toomey. #2. U.S.P.S. processes only about 17% of unprocessed mail. Who does the rest? Private mail houses. Once a Postmaster General leaves the U.S.P.S. (example: Marvin Runyan comes to mind) where does he go? – why, to one of the private mail houses! Now, folks, here’s where it gets good. We can process a bar-coded mail piece (letter or magazine) for 2-1/2 cents. This covers ALL labor, utility, motor vehicle, training, and other expenses! Why then is the U.S.P.S. paying private mail houses 16-1/2 cents to do the same job as us for 2-1/2 cents? This mail is supposed to be “pre-sorted” – you’ll find this term on much of your mail. But first something asinine occurs. The pre-sorted mail comes to Lehigh Valley P & D C. The P.S.M. for, let’s say, Bath, arrives at the sorting machine. But we also have a lot of unprocessed mail that will go to Bath as well. So to keep ALL the mail in carrier sequence for the letter carriers this P.S.M. for Bath goes through the sorting machine along with the unprocessed mail, also for Bath –– all at the same time!!! Is this lunacy? I’d say so.
Instead, they put on their gear and made nearly 100 responses to the needs of the community, such as pumping cellars, cutting trees, directing traffic, fighting fires and various methods of rescue. Many of these responders had needs at their own homes, but the community came first. Let’s join together as a community and say THANK YOU in a tangible way by sending a generous, much-needed, tax-deductible donation to the LTFC No. 1 at 4188 Lehigh Drive, Cherryville, PA 18035.

The fair has two important functions: to provide a great family funfilled event for the community and also to raise funds to update their equipment to better serve the region. Early on the second day, for safety reasons, the workers shut down the outside activities and it became obvious that this would not be a profitable year.

Finally, the sun came out on Friday. After all those days of clouds and rain, it didn’t seem like we’d see it for a long time. Anyhow, the weather around here was kinda nice over the weekend. There were some dark clouds, and a fine mist on Sunday, but with the sun still shining, it didn’t bother anybody. . . .I’m glad it was nice for all the 9/11 ceremonies that were held across the nation on Sunday. Like I heard one speaker say, that day in our history is like Dec. 7, 1941 (Pearl Harbor) and June 6 (D-Day in World War II). Those of us who lived in those days will never forget, and it’s up to us to teach our children how important they were in our history and to always remember the sacrifices that were made by hundreds of thousands who lost their lives, just so we’d be free. America is the greatest nation on Earth and let’s do all we can we keep it that way. . . . 9/11 was also remembered at baseball and football games, and that was good to see. . . .Congrats to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs for winning the playoff semi-finals. Now they play Columbus for the finals, and the way they’ve been playing this year they have a chance to win. . . . Maybe the Eagles will be good, too, even with their new players. We’ll see what they do Sunday when they go to Atlanta. . . .On the local scene, the Nazareth Blue Eagles look like they’re better than ever, and the Northampton Konkrete Kids are struggling. It’s early, so maybe they’ll come around. . . . Didn’t get a chance to get down to the farmers market on Friday, but I heard they had some great apple treats for folks that did. . . . Solar energy is still up in the skies. I
see the hearing for Lehigh Township has been continued again until the 27th of this month. There’s always something that comes up. Probably the same thing up in Moore Township. All we can do is keep tuned. . . . Bowlers are back in form, but I hear some of the leagues could use a few more players. . . . Heard a couple rumbles. Hope it’s not another thunder storm. Have a good week, anyhow, gang!

Old trophies collection to Cheer young cancer patients
Tracy Berger- Carmen of Bath (Moore Twp.) is conducting a "Trophy Drive". A collection of used and unwanted trophies will be collected, cleaned and re-tagged with a brass plate that says "Way to go". The trophies will then be given to the Outpatient Childrens Cancer Center at Lehigh Valley Hospital Muhlenberg to the children as they reach milestones in their treatment and recovery. The idea originated from a fellow race car driver who gives his personal trophies to a New Jersey hospital. A few months ago while racing at Grandview Speedway with NEETS (Northeast Enduro Tour Series), some racers were in the pits after a race and sparked the idea to give a trophy to a child with cancer. Many drivers get so many trophies that they give them away to family members. When Berger- Carmen mentioned the idea, she was given two trophies that same day from a driver who places in the top five on a regular basis. "Many people throw these in
the back of a closet or worse yet a landfill, Berger- Carmen said. Here they are being recycled and given to a child to put a smile on their face.” Many trophy drives will be taking place during the next few months. Locally, on September 23 from 3-7 at the Bath Farmers' Market, at Grandview Speedway on September 25th during and after the NEETS race and October 1st at Bath Community Days. The Trophy Drive is being planned as an ongoing project and Berger- Carmen hopes that it expands to more hospitals such as Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia or St. Jude. The Home News office at 4685 Lehigh Dr., Walnutport will serve as a collection point. Trophies can be dropped off Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. For more information on Trophy Drive or if your business would like to have a Trophy Drive dropoff, log into Facebook under "Trophy Drive" for updates on dropoff locations and to also see how close they are to meeting the goal of 300 trophies.
Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Degenerative Body Dis-ease To dissect the title, clearly, degeneration is the process by which something is breaking down. The body in this case is the “thing” that is breaking down. The dis-ease is the state which that particular person is in. Not disease, dis-ease. The opposite of being at ease. Normally my articles address conditions that are already defined by medical standards such as lupus, MS, osteoporosis, diabetes, and the like. You will not find this term anywhere else. I know because I coined it myself. My working definition of this condition is: “A physiological break down of the human body over a period of time which results in the inability to be functioning normally thereby leading to an eventual manifestation of disease”. Where in the world would I ever come up with this you ask? The answer is that I see it every day in my practice specifically and life generally. Seemingly, the underlining issues fall back to the body’s failure to regenerate faster than it is breaking down. Obviously, most children and young adults are in the regeneration phase. But what about adults? What about seniors? Yes, you got it: Degenerative body dis-ease. Again, the breaking down of the body at a faster rate than is able to regenerate. Mostly sub-clinical in nature until ultimately, a legitimate disease presents itself. In the course of writing this article, I spoke with an individual who lamented to me that she didn’t “feel well” (dis-eased) for over
three years but no one knew why. This was an otherwise healthy female in her early 50’s. Suddenly and without warning she had a stroke. That was seven months ago. She has almost normal function but has been mostly house ridden, seemingly self imposed, since the stroke. She expressed to me her real concern is that she still doesn’t feel good, in fact she feels worse. Understandably. Maybe we could have seen high blood pressure, high triglycerides, and a laundry lists of other early warnings signs as an indicator something was brewing. Clearly
it was. For the purpose of our discussion, this woman’s situation, the stroke, is an example of the degenerative body dis-ease process that I am referring to. Perhaps this condition was manifesting for years. Maybe longer. Anyone’s guess. Now if you’re wondering when I am going to provide clear and concise advice on how to avoid the degeneration body dis-ease, I am not. I cannot. This topic goes beyond what this article will allow. I plan to follow up this topic in future articles and more in depth in our monthly Enewsletters (so please email to be included). Furthermore, how can I? It’s not about pills; it’s about lots of plants, exercise, and other lifestyle adaptations that are specific to you and your regeneration ability. I can say that a safe place to start is to minimize sugar, refined carbohydrates, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and fake sugar substitutes. That’s just for starters. Until next time. “Natural Perspectives”is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.

Fire prevention week Oct. 9-15 raises awareness The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) announces the theme for Fire Prevention Week – Protect Your Family From Fire. Fire Prevention Week will be held October 9-15. NFPA has sponsored the fire prevention campaign since 1922, spreading awareness of the dangers of fires and inspiring individuals to prevent the deaths, injuries, and destruction they cause. This year’s theme focuses on how to protect your family from fire by planning ahead and integrating simple things into your everyday life. Fires in the home take a great toll on life and property each year. During the fiveyear-period from 2005-2009, NFPA estimates that U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 373,900 reported home structure fires per year. These fires caused an estimated average of 2,650 civilian deaths, 12,890 civil-
ian injuries, and $7.1 billion in direct property damage per year. Smoking materials remain the leading cause of home fire deaths, while cooking equipment is the leading cause of home structure fires and home fire injuries. Installing systems such as smoke alarms and residential fire sprinklers, as well as identifying potential hazards, can reduce the risk of home fires and property loss, injury, or death due to fire. Nearly twothirds of home structure fire deaths occur in homes where there was no smoke alarm, or where smoke alarms were present but failed to operate. NFPA has taken the lead in public fire safety outreach by serving as the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for 89 years. The annual public awareness and safety commemoration, which is proclaimed by the President of Continued on page 10

Nazareth scores late TD’s To beat Easton, 35-28; Kids lose to Liberty, 34-7
Three touchdowns in the last 12 minutes of the game proved to be enough for the Nazareth Blue Eagles to overcome earlier Easton scoring, and they beat the Red Rovers 35-28 on Friday night at Andrew Leh Stadium in Nazareth. Needless to say, they thrilled the hometown crowd of some 6,000. Nazareth was on the losing end, 28-14, at the end of the third quarter, but quarterback Dan Harding and his mates put it altogether after that. He tallied two of the touchdowns himself, one on an eight-yarder and another from one yard out. He completed 19 of 29 passes for 312
yards. Earlier in the game, Nazareth stopped Easton in a goal line stand at the oneyard line. The scoring summary: Adam Bridgeforth took a 67yard pass to reach the end zone; Kari Camacho ran the ball in from three yards out; Dan Shepherd scored on a 17-yard pass; and Harding got those running TD’s. Jack Portnoy made all of his kicks good for extra points. It was Nazareth’s first victory over Easton since 1998.

down was one of the downfalls as Northampton lost 34-7 on Friday night at Al Erdosy Stadium. The only local scoring came on a 67-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Cook to Brandon Heimbach in the first half. That made the score 7-7, but after that the Hurricanes took over just as the weather has engulfed everyone else the past couple of weeks. The punt that was returned came when Liberty was only ahead 14-7. It was the first game this season in the Lehigh Valley Conference, but unfortunately the second loss for Northampton overall.

Saturday Forum to Focus on Marcellus Shale Development
This Saturday, Sept. 17, the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs and the Keystone Energy Forum will hold a joint forum focusing on Marcellus Shale development in the state. It is part of the PFSC’s fall convention and will take place at the Radisson Penn Harris Hotel in Camp Hill from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Outdoors coalitions, regulatory agencies, and energy companies will look to gaining better understanding and cooperation among them for the benefit of all concerned – including the people of Pennsylvania. For the benefit of our readers, a background on the forum groups: Keystone Energy Forum is an education and outreach
program designed to be a factbased informational resource on Marcellus Shale exploration and development in Pennsylvania as natural gas is raised to the surface. PFSC is an advocate for sportsmen and women as a catalyst for bringing sportsmen and conservation organizations to the table with the state wildlife, fish and conservation agencies, and the Legislature, making sure voices are heard. PFSC has almost 80 years of experience fighting for and protecting the state’s outdoor heritage, the resources, and the 2nd Amendment shooting rights and privileges. Saturday’s program will be divided into three sections: Land Activity, Interaction with Marcellus Shale Development, and Impacts on Penn’s Woods. Panelists in section one will be William Capouillez of the Pa. Game Commission and Seth Cassell, of Pa. Dept. of Conservation & Natural Resources. Section two will have these persons in the discussion: Brian Barner and Dave Spotts, Pa. Fish & Boat Commission; Scott Perry, Pa. Dept. of Environmental Resources; Bruce Snyder, Range Resources, and Andrew Keck of Anadarko. After lunch the featured speaker will be Dr. James Mosher, principal, Conservation Results. A special presentation will then be made by Jim Grace, Goddard chairman of the School of Forestry at Penn State University. And then these panelists: Devin DeMario of the PFSC; Bob Kirchner of the Pa. State Snowmobile Association, and Fred Bohls of Trout Unlimited. Bill Stewart of Keystone Energy Forum will have concluding remarks. It should be an interesting day. The convention opens on Friday, when there will be reports from the PGC, PFBC, and committees of the PFSC. The convention concludes Sunday with a general session of delegates and any voting on resolutions or important issues that may come up over the weekend. Northampton County will be well represented.

Main St. that is in poor condition, and a problem to his adjoining property. Fields said that Klotz got a price recently to tear the home down, $75,000. It was purchased by the borough in 2005 as part of streetscape. Also noted are alleys in the borough that are in disrepair. A check list was made to see what can be done with liquid fuels funds.

Marcia Hahn about roads in the borough. • Mrs. Heckman reported that the H.A.R.B.

Allen Township supervisors Discuss storm water drainage
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Storm water and development issues along W. 27th St. were discussed on Thursday by the Allen Township Board of Supervisors. It concerned an inlet blockage of a three by four-foot pipe with sediment that may have come from north of 27th Street. Supervisor Al Pierce and Tim Leibengood discussed where and how it developed, with Pierce finally recommending three steps: Clean out the sediment sometime around October or November when the ground dries up from all the rains of this summer; walk along and take pictures after trees have shed their leaves; and maintain the pipes that are under the ca-
nal. Pierce asked Road Superintendent Scott Uhnak about when Valley Rd. may be paved. He was told that it depends upon when the storm drainage clean-up work is finished. The department closely monitors roads as a routine. Uhnak would also like more road closure signs, Township Manager Ilene Eckhart noted. A local damage assessment will be filed with Northampton County that followed Governor Tom Corbett’s proclamation seeking a cover for losses from Hurricane Irene. In the township, it amounts to about $11,000. Other Matters • The board gave a 35-day extension to Willow Ridge to meet approval conditions. The 35 days runs to October

danger when it was believed a plane was headed to the White House. Hanover Program At a Patriot Day program in Hanover Township on Sunday evening, an employee of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey told of his escape from the 69th floor of
the North Tower at the World Trade Center. Hanover Supervisors Chairman John Diacogiannis, before introducing the speaker, welcomed the audience, and told them that several of his insurance associates died at the WTC, while some who did not attend a meeting that day survived. He also was on vacation at Cape May when he heard the

news. Speaker Michael Mayurnik said Sept. 11, 2001 “changed our lives – it brought a new sense of patriotism and freedom of speech and assembly.” At the WTC he said he heard a loud bang, looked out the windows and saw papers flying around. With others, he went down an emergency exit, rushed down stairwells, and it got hotter and there was water from sprinklers. When he got to the lobby there was much debris outside, including bodies. Just after going to the east side, the South Tower was hit by a plane, and soon after the buildings started to crumble. They wondered what they were going to do – how to get out of there, and finally did with the help of friends. He said, “9-11 was my unceremonious welcome to the Port Authority.” He had worked for another company before. Once a new WTC is built he will be on the 20th floor. “Look back at that day and celebrate life,” he said, noting how people cared for each other. The DreamKids also sang at this program. Afterward, a flag retirement ceremony was held outdoors, led by Boy Scout Troop 352, with Joshua Soares telling the audience about the flag. Numerous flags were burned, but only after one large one brought by a mounted police unit
from Bethlehem, delivered it to the Scouts. First the field of blue with stars was cut apart, and then the red stripes and white stripes were cut apart. Soares told the symbolism of each. All were burned in respect for the flag. Bagpipers Victor Nuemann and Krysden Schantz played “Amazing Grace” and “Taps” was played by Dr. Jim Roberts.

The Rev. Christina Keller
Pastor, Covenant United Methodist Church
A Fresh Start The new school year brings to mind the idea of a fresh start. Psalm 145:14 says, “God gives a hand to those down on their luck, gives a fresh start to those ready to quit.” Have you ever experienced a “Fresh Start” in your life? Was there ever a time when you made a clean break from the past? Was there ever a time when you were down on your luck, felt like there was nowhere to go and suddenly everything changed? Has there been a moment in your life when you could say that from this point on, things will be different? Each time I’ve gone to a new church, it has been a fresh start for me. Each time you start a new job, begin a new school year, or a new school for that matter, and each time you move to a new home, you get a chance at a fresh start. For the woman about to be stoned in John 8:1-11, that “Fresh Start” moment came when Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.” Just moments before this woman had been thrown at Jesus’ feet by the scribes and Pharisees who had found her fooling around with a man who was not her fiancée, or her husband, we’re not sure which it was. It was bad enough that she had been caught in the act and hauled off to be put on display in public, but this woman, fear in her heart, knew that her penalty was death. The man they brought her to, the man named Jesus, took his time in responding to the scribes and Pharisees challenge to him. He bent down and drew something in the dirt. But her accusers kept pushing him. As she trembled in fear nearby, Jesus stood up and said a strange thing to the woman’s accusers. He said,“Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground. When the scribes and Pharisees heard what Jesus said, “they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.” Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She looked around her tentatively and said to Jesus, “No one, sir.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.” Talk about a fresh start. This woman had made a deadly mistake in her life. She had been caught in the act of making this mistake and then dragged out in public for all to witness her shame. You can just imagine the fear and shock she must have felt as she waited for that first stone to strike her as she huddled on the ground, clenched in anticipation. But with a word from Jesus, the men turned, and one by one walked away. Jesus could see this woman, not just for who she had been, but he could also see her for who she could be. He reminded her accusers of who they were as well. They too were sinners. They too were far from perfect. Because of what Jesus said in this encounter, he created an empathetic bond between the men and the woman causing the men to realize their sin and thereby making it impossible for them to condemn the woman. The woman now had the opportunity to change her life, because she was given that chance by Jesus. From that moment on her life was a gift from God. She had the chance to turn away from doing wrong and walk the straight and narrow path of righteousness. It was a moment of new beginnings for her and we can only hope that she went from the moment forward to a life of better choices. But you see, what’s important for us to understand is that God gives all of us the chance to begin again. Hopefully not through experiences like the woman went through, but there are many opportunities each day, each hour, of our lives to begin again. Because no matter who you are, or what you’ve done, it’s never too late to receive God’s forgiveness and start over. Mistakes and past sins can become a catalyst to a new way of life with God. God is The Great Recycler, taking our trash and making something beautiful from it.

When the adult female asked the juveniles to stop throwing things at the car, the two 14-year-old Easton girls physically attacked the woman. They were separated and walked away.
