Local Tastefully Simple Group Supports Our Troops Submitted by BRENDA DETWEILER Recently, a local Tastefully Simple group of consultants named “Bountiful Believers” led by Nicole Niosi gathered at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem for a business meeting with a twist. This awesome group of approximately 60 ladies met for their own tasteful needs but in the midst brought individual goodies of their brand names and store bought items that we can send to a local unit deployed

right here from Northampton.

They allowed us to speak for a few moments and supplied us in abundance with products we know our troops will appreciate in their care packages.

We are very grateful when local groups come together and support our deployed troops in this manner. We try and meet the needs of our deployed troops whether a large or small request. We also work

Submitted by By Ed Pany Today I am visiting the oldest cemetery in Northampton County, the Horner Cemetery, which is a historic treasure dating back to 1745. It is situated on Route 329, the Northampton-Bath highway, north of God’s Missionary Church in East Allen Township.

Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society, headed by Ms. Peggy Spengler-Moser, is heading a drive to restore and maintain the burial site.

Ms. Moser was a fine student at Northampton, Moravian, Lehigh, and is a Cedar Crest

College graduate with a keen interest in our local history.

She invited this writer and fellow historian Larry Oberly to visit and tour the grounds.

When I taught United States History, the cemetery was a major stop on a historical tour we did for many years.

The school district’s 4th grade local history students used to visit, as well.

When we arrived at the cemetery we entered the resting place of our county’s first settlers and soldiers who helped build the foundation of our nation. There was a feeling of dignity and serenity

as we viewed the tombstones, a reminder of our cherished past.

This column and future columns will tell the stories of these early settlers who rest eternal in Horner’s Cemetery.

These early settlers were of Scotch-Irish descent, immigrants to the American colonies in 1728 due to the Irish famines and economical collapse in that country.

Most of these first settlers were tenant farmers with no social rank, wealth or political power, who paid increasing taxes by the land owners.

Land speculators toured in Ireland and Great Britain described America as a land of fertile soil and unlimited opportunities.

This new land was a place Continued on page 9

Thanks for the Goodness In visiting the homebound mem-

bers of our congregation, I have heard many of them tell me how much they appreciate not only the visits of the Pastors, but especially the visits of our Eucharistic Visitors, who bring them the Sacrament once a month. They are strengthened by these visits and the evidence of our congregation's care for them. So I express my gratitude and our homebound members’ thanks to our Eucharistic Visitors for their dedication and time.

Another word of gratitude I have heard is the appreciation of the workers in our monthly “Soup Group”. A homebound member told me recently how much she appreciated the homemade soup and the special Valentine cookie they brought her.

She asked that her thanks (“and the thanks of all other homebound members” she said), be expressed to the group. Not only did she enjoy the delicious soup, but even more so, their visit.

This is something that those of us who come to church regularly on Sunday often forget. Our homebound cannot be with us because of aged bodily weakness, and they greatly miss being in church on Sundays. Before age set in, they were regular attendees, strengthened in spirit through worship, and they enjoyed the socialization that comes with church attendance.

Many of them were also the workers of our “Soup Group”, Evangelism Committee, Church Council, Altar Guild, etc. Once age set in, they had to give up their work and involvement. Now they are the ones who we, the attendees must go to, and let them know that they are not forgotten, that their dedication and their prayers for us are not forgotten and are valued by us. Let each one of us able “attendees” give thought and consideration, to how we can show them this appreciation.

Once again, I convey the thanks of our homebound members to all our volunteers.

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip After three days of rain, the sun finally came out on Monday, and it’s beginning to really feel like spring is here.

Some folks are seeing green in the fields and lawns and buds in trees, but I haven’t yet. I reckon my eyesight isn’t as sharp as it usta be. . . .Did anybody catch you napping on Tuesday? It was April 1st and for the jokesters that was their time to shine – April Fool’s Day. . . . I see the hearings are still going on for the big warehouses and distribution centers. A lotta people are fighting them ’cause of all the tractor-trailer truck traffic they bring to their neighborhoods, and they should.

But unfortunately they call it progress, and they’re probably gonna lose out. Taxes and employment are always things that local government figures on, and if the big corporations are following the letter of the law otherwise.

This is democracy though, so keep fightin’ folks. . . .All the writers looked at the Phillies and saw how bad their spring training was, so they didn’t give the Fight’ns a chance.

Well, they fooled ‘em for the first day at least, ripping three home runs and a bunch of other runs to outlast the Texas Rangers. Of course, that’s only one game, so we’ll see how it goes. Cliff Lee had a rocky start, but still won the game. . . . I see the five local students in that spelling bee down at the community college didn’t win, but congrats to ‘em anyhow for getting that far. It’s not easy when you’re standing up on the stage alone and everyone’s listening and waiting to see how you do. A big

pat on the back from this corner! . . . . Good to see that now with better weather the sidewalk building project down on Chestnut Street in town is moving right along. They hadta dig deep at one place by the alley on account of the big tree that once grew there. . . . Also took notice that there was a crew over at Main & Walnut fixing the new traffic light at the right height and adding a street sign. . . . Fishing season opened on Saturday. It was a mite cool and wet, but I reckon the young’uns did all right, cause they don’t mind getting soaking wet. . . . Didn’t hear yet when the farmers market will be opening for another season, but it’ll probably be in May. Hafta wait for some kind of announcement. . . .Elmira had me polishing the windows in her spring cleaning routine, but the rain and wind messed up that job. Looks like I hafta do it over. . . .Have a great week, gang!

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

Overweight and Shorter Life

An article that appeared in the American Journal of Public Health recently has raised a lot of eyebrows and I am not sure why. Essentially, the study concluded that over- weight individuals, which naturally led to higher than normal body mass index (BMI) scores, didn’t live as long as same age individuals who were leaner.

This study shouldn’t surprise any of us. This study DOES reinforce our need to address excessive weight that we have on our bodies. It is not an easy task. More often than not, it is usually a life threatening situation such as a heart attack, stroke, diabetes that forces us to get serious and do whatever we can to get healthier and get skinnier. I have seen this scenario over and over. (By the way, it is usually us guys that wait until things are critical!)

I don’t think that we should develop another type of prescription medicine. I don’t think we need another gym membership or fancy piece of machinery. I do believe that changing our body weight takes effort. The nuts and bolts of getting the weight down is figuring out what YOUR specific body needs are, given your genetics, gender, age, occupation and other variables. Once you “lay all the cards on the table” you can then implement a sensible action plan that slowly and CONSISTENTLY moves us to where we would like to be.

One size does not fit all when it comes to weight loss.

Yes, the basics are to reduce and unburden your body with excessive grains and non-essential carbohydrates such as breads, pasta, pizza, etc. However, the second major factor that I routinely see

is a complete lack of protein.

Protein deficiency is rarely talked about. When I have my patients increase the amount of protein they take in, especially in the morning, their lives begin to change quickly.

Sleep deprivation is another MAJOR factor. No need to say more than just get some solid sleep every night. Without it your hormones get all screwed up and you tend to gravitate to garbage food and stimulant drinks to keep you going. This leads to weight gain, specifically WAIST GAIN…………

The American Journal of Public Health study I referenced above stated that the biggest association between weight gain and shorter life span was in the 45-64 year old age group, in which it was some five years shorter.

Again, not a shocker to any of us. When we carry around all the extra weight for years and decades it clearly impacts our bodies and eventually systems start to fail. The clogged and INFLAMMED cardiovascular system is one of the biggest issues we face.

From prior articles you already realize how important I feel supplementing with Larginine on a daily basis is. LArginine turns into Nitric Oxide which assists in dilating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and bringing increased blood flow, nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body, including fingers, toes and reproductive organs.

The highest grade L-Arginine product in the world is Pro-Argi-9 plus from a company called Synergy Worldwide. Pro-Argi-9 plus is listed in your medical doctors Physician desk Reference (PDR).

Yes, everyone who reads this

WUNDERLER’S MARKET Brewer’s Best Beer Kits

article should probably be taking it every day. In addition to this single miracle supplement, you need to, of course, be exercising, getting your body adjusted regularly, eating a bunch of vegetables, increasing clean protein intake, and slowly reducing weight which will invariably change the course of your life.

My best to you always.

Focused on Folks 60+ Medicare beneficiaries can Save on prescription drugs (NAPS)—There could be good news for as many as half of the 37 million Americans enrolled in Medicare Part D prescription drug plans: You’ve been paying too much.

Why is that good news? Be­ cause there is still an oppor­ tunity to find cost savings that you may have missed.

The Problem

According to the U.S. Cen­ ters for Disease Control and Prevention, some 42 million Americans are over 65 and most of them are at risk for

diabetes, high blood pressure and other conditions as they age.

Many of these older Ameri­ cans are concerned about their health and their health care costs, a recent Walgreens sur­ vey found. More than a third of the Medicare Part D bene­ ficiaries surveyed worry ev­ ery day about their prescrip­ tion drug costs and one in five say they’ve had to make sacrifices, such as delaying filling a prescription or skip­ ping doses, to help manage

medication costs.

Few realize that copays for Part D prescriptions can vary by pharmacy. And, some don't know they can switch pharma­ cies at any time.

A Solution The good news is that Medi­ care Part D beneficiaries can save hundreds of dollars a year on prescription copay costs by using a preferred network phar­ macy, if there’s one in their Part D plan. For example, Wal­ greens, which is in the network of all national Medicare pre­ scription drug plans and partici­ pates in the preferred networks of four of the largest na­tional Part D sponsors, offers signifi­ cant savings on prescription co­ pays over select pharmacies for many of the plans in which it’s a preferred pharmacy.

able.

3. Talk to your pharmacists about 90-day fill options for maintenance medications if

your plan offers lower copays.

where immigrants could succeed if they were willing to

face and conquer the privations of this wooded frontier inhabited by Native Americans. Their first contact with Native Americans was with the local Lenapi (original man) who lived here.

Upon the death of William Penn, his sons sold large tracts of land. William Allen purchased 10,000 acres from the Penns. This included East Allen Township, Bath, Northampton, Catasauqua, along with Hanover Township in Lehigh and Northampton Counties.

The Craigs, Wilsons and Horners established the first permanent settlement in Northampton County in 1728.

The Craig Irish settlement was made in the banks of the Hokendauqua and Catasauqua creeks. They built their church at the center of the settlement.

The settlement (1728) preceded Easton, Nazareth, and Bethlehem. The settlers arrived with few personal belongings, but the energy

and determination to turn a wilderness into a bountiful land, to fulfill their visions and dreams in a continent far from home.

They are looking for help with event planning, decorating, setting up and tearing down some tables, publicity, advertising, press releases, planting flowers, supply coordinator, membership, fundraising, additions to and maintenance of a website, stone tagging and more.

Northampton Area High School senior Boglarka Jordan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Balint Jordan of Northampton, wasn’t able to attend a ceremony last month when the February Girl-of-the-Month award was to be presented to her by the Northampton Exchange Club.

But she and her family did attend the Exchange dinner meeting last night, and Balint received a framed Youth-of-the Month certificate, an engraved lamp of knowledge plaque, and a club pen.

When the club has its next

Dying within…

Living without…

A man hiking in a park near Dallas, TX came upon a lizard lying in the middle of the path. It looked to be completely healthy, and yet it was lying completely still. After nudging it gently with his walking stick he was convinced it was dead, having died from internal causes since there were no outward signs of injury.

Going further down the path his attention was drawn to the lake he was hiking around—a lake that is presently thirteen feet below its normal water level. Again, nothing is wrong with the lake itself—it is not leaking water or losing volume in any visible way. The drought in this part of Texas persists; the tributaries that feed this lake are affected and the lake level falls as a result.

Still further down the path, he came upon a cedar tree that had died. The bottom section of the trunk was still vertical, but the rest of the trunk and branches were lying on the ground. The other trees around it seemed healthy and strong. He concluded that it was not an external force that killed this tree while leaving the others strong. Apparently the tree died from an internal causes that he could not see.

He was struck by the similarities he had encountered. The lizard, lake, and cedar tree were being affected by internal forces. They appeared healthy, but were dying from within.

An important spiritual question can be raised in our world… are we dying from within?

Consider the Lenten journey we are taking. The task is to look at the many challenges that confront our faith walk. The truth is hopefully known—that only when we place our faith in God can we overcome the struggles encountered with temptation, doubt, and purpose that will arise. Our hope is based in praying these words of the well-known hymn Just as I Am. Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

As we journey to the foot of the cross and die within (in the spiritual way, dying to self-centered living!) do we genuinely see the light Easter brings into our sin-darkened world. Only then can we truly live, again in the spiritual sense!) focusing on a life that is without ourselves—a life that is bigger, wider, deeper than what is only within our inconsequential “self.” Only then can we honestly pray the final verse of Just as I Am, a verse seldom printed in hymnals.

Just as I am, of that free love The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove, Here for a season, then above, O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

God raised Christ to life—a sign of his complete victory over sin and death—on our behalf. That Jesus lives forever is the Gospel’s witness and promise made to the faithful. We also shall live!

A Godly Legacy #3

Last Last week week II shared shared about about the the sudden sudden death death of of my my brother, brother, Tim, Tim, and and the the godly legacy legacy that that he he passed passed on on to to his his children children and and grandchildren. grandchildren. How How godly does one build a godly legacy?

I know how Tim and Grace did it.

They does one build a godly legacy? I know how Tim and Grace did it. They knew the Lord and took their children to church regularly. They conknew the lived Lord their and took their children sistently faith.

They prayed.to church regularly. They consistently liveddelivered their faith.

They prayed.out of Egyptian bondage, He When God the Israelites When God delivered the Israelites outGod of and Egyptian revealed Himself as the All-Powerful Holy taughtbondage, them howHe to revealed Himself as the All-Powerful Godthem and taught themand howthy to live a holy life specifically instructing,Holy “teach thy sons, sons' sons…thou shalt teach them diligently untothy thysons, children, live a holy life specifically instructing, “teach them and and thy shalt talk of them shalt whenteach thou sittest in thine house, and when thou sons' sons…thou them diligently unto thy children, and walkest byofthe way,when and when thou liest down,house, and when shalt talk them thou sittest in thine and thou whenrisest thou up” (Deuteronomy thisliest verse shows, godlythou legacy is walkest by the way,4:9, and6:7). whenAsthou down, andawhen risest passed on by diligence and consistency. Unfortunately, Israel backup” (Deuteronomy 4:9, 6:7).

As this verse shows, a godly legacy is slid and failed to pass on a godly legacy like many are failing today, passed on arose by diligence consistency.

Unfortunately, Israelnot back“and there anotherand generation after them, which knew the slid andnor failed pass on a which godly legacy many failing(Judges today, LORD, yettothe works he hadlike done for are Israel” “and 2:10).there arose another generation after them, which knew not the This theme of passing along a godly to the generation is LORD, nor yet the works which he legacy had done fornext Israel” (Judges found 2:10). throughout Scripture. Psalm 78:4-7 states, “We will not hide them children, shewing the generation come the This from themetheir of passing along a godlytolegacy to the next to generation is praises of the LORD, and hisPsalm strength, andstates, his wonderful that found throughout Scripture.

78:4-7 “We willworks not hide he hath done. For he…appointed a law in Israel, which he comthem from children, shewing to the generation to come the manded ourtheir fathers, that they should make them known to their praises ofThat the LORD, and his strength, his know wonderful works children: the generation to comeand might them, even that the he hath which done. should For he…appointed law in arise Israel,and which he comchildren be born; whoa should declare them manded our fathers, make them known to their children: That that they they mightshould set their hope in God, and to nottheir forget the works God, but keeptohis commandments.” children: That of the generation come might know them, even the In his old age, should David prayed, “Owho God, forsake meand not;declare until I them have children which be born; should arise shewed thy strength generation, and in thy power every to their children: Thatunto they this might set their hope God, andto not forone that is to come” (Psalm 71:18).

May our prayer be the same—to get the works of God, but keep his commandments.” leave a godly legacy for all who are still to come.

In his old age, David prayed, “O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come” (Psalm 71:18). May our prayer be the same—to leave a godly legacy for all who are still to come.

Bible Verse

April 3-9, 2014 13

Golden Gleams

Life is like a school of gladiators, where men live and fight one another.

Life is half spent before we know what it is.

A useless life is an early death.

Youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret.

-The heart dreams not of what the eyes see not.

Look into the heart of any man, and you always find at least one black spot.

He hath a heart as sound as a bell and his tongue is the clapper, for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.

"The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field."

and mentally.

“In addition to learning the curriculum, they will spend many months away from their families during this nearly yearlong training, which shows the commitment they are making to protecting and managing Pennsylvania’s wildlife resources,” Hough said. “But the rewards of the profession last a lifetime, and after 33 years with the Game Commission, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.”

Hough noted that the individuals who comprise the 30th Class were chosen from a field of 622 applications, and were selected through a series of written and oral tests, interview boards and physical examinations.

Cadet training includes subjects such as: wildlife management; physical fitness; firearms proficiency; unarmed self-defense; law enforcement; legal procedures; conservation education; land-management practices; computer skills; and public relations. Cadets are evaluated regularly and required to meet stringent standards to continue.

Upon graduation, each cadet will be commissioned as a Wildlife Conservation Officer and given an assignment within the Commonwealth. Following a probationary period of at least one year, the WCO’s performance will be evaluated and, if acceptable, he or she will be granted permanent status. Continued training will be

required on a regular basis for certain skills, such as firearms proficiency and legal updates.

Other advanced skills training may be offered on a voluntary basis.

Of the 31 individuals enrolled in this class, 26 have college degrees or professional certifications; four have served as Deputy WCOs for the Game Commission; and two are Game Commission employees in other capacities. Seventeen are veterans, five were in the Army, three in the Marine Corps, two in the Air Force, two in the Navy, and five in the National Guard.

Other previous careers include police officer, corrections officer, probation/parole officer, dispatcher, teacher, physical therapist, nurse’s aide, bartender and biologist aide.

The minimum age for enrollment is 21 years, the maximum is 48 years and the average age is 30 years.

Among the cadets are Ellyn Lindenmuth, Emmaus, Lehigh County and William Kreider, Stroudsburg, Monroe County son of Northampton County WCO Brad Kreider.

The Game Commission has budgeted nearly $2 million to train these 31 individuals, who will fill vacant districts throughout the state. The agency anticipates that all vacant districts will be filled when this class graduates in March 2015.
