BBCP has successful Duck race fund-raiser

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The weather was beautiful and the Monocacy Creek was flowing freely on Friday afternoon as the Bath Business & Community Partnership (BBCP) held its annual Great Bath Duck Race.

There wasn’t any cheering, but the crowd quietly watched as the tiny plastic, multi-colored ducks flowed along in the waters until they reached the Main Street bridge. It was there that volunteers gathered them up and placed the ducks in cartons to determine which were winners of a large number of prizes.

The event was another by

the BBCP to raise funds for the Bath Farmers Market.

Numbered tickets were sold at the farmers market on Friday, and at the scene along the creek, and earlier at local businesses for $5.00 each.

These were the 17 lucky winners, the prizes, and donors: Peggy Moser, $250, by BBCP; Maryann Liddy, $20 gift card, Daily Grind; Peggy Moser, $25 gift card, My Place Restaurant’; Amy Birch, $90 gift basket, Tracy’s Cottage; Fi Mirabito, Dejavu Nail Care Kit, ESSA Bank & Trust; Dan Space, $20 BFM dollars, Sharon Davis of GLVCC; Eric Lane, $20 gift certificate, S. Seem Antiques; Cassie Jones,

$20 gift certificate, Steckel House Antiques; Mitchel George, $25 Visa gift card, Gilroy Family Chiropractic; Judy Serfass, $25 BFM dollars, Benchmark Analytics Lab; Garry Hunsicker, $20 gift certificate, Ahart’s Markets; Lawrence Fiedor, 1 yr. sub., The Home News and Lehigh Valley Style; Ann Shanley, $25 gift card for Regal Cinema, Linda Roth CPA; Brenna Kern, $10 gift certificate, The Friendship Tree; Bill Halbfoerster, Chick-fil-A gift basket, BFM; Brad Eckhart, 30 min. massage, Denise Mikovitch; and Sue Bain, last duck bottle of wine, Mayor Wunderler.

Two farm robbers Caught in Maryland The Pennsylvania State Police announced the arrest of Dale Michael Mentzer, 35, and Heath Andrew Derizzo, 36, both with no fixed address. They are charged with the armed robbery that occurred at Cihylik Farms & Greenhouse, 3960 Cherryville Rd., Northampton (Allen Township) on July 19 at approximately 11:25 a.m.

In the course of the robbery, the two men demanded money from a female employee.

She was directed from one

part of the property to another, and made to provide money, property belonging to the Cihylik Farm, and her personal property to the robbers.

During the course of the investigation, State Police of the Bethlehem Barracks received information relating to the investigation from several law enforcement partners, including the Northampton Borough Police Department, Continued on page 15

LAST-MINUTE TICKETS were sold by Carol Bear-Heckman at the creek for Friday’s duck race. They benefited the Bath Farmers Market.

THE TINY DUCKS flowed freely in the creek.

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip Biggest excitement of the week was the great duck race held along the Monocacy Creek here in town. The Bath Business & Community Partnership had more than 100 ducks in the water, and they gave out some nice prizes, I hear. It was a fund raiser for the farmers market, and one everybody liked watching the ducks float along in the water. You couldn’t tell which one you were rooting for. They were all different colors and the numbers were on the bottom of the ducks.

Anyhow, it was a fun event. . . . .Northampton Street on the north side got a milling and a layer of blacktop, so it’s fairly nice now without much bumps at all. . . . I hear Charlie, who used to work down at the Town & Country restaurant, was back in town the other day, and got a look see at all the new improvements.

Real nice, huh, Charlie? . . . .

Nothing doing on the sidewalk project that I’ve seen, but if it turns out as nice as down along Main Street and at the park, it should be a big improvement. Grace Check’s company will be doing the work. . . . Catherine Zakos is anxious for the Keystone Park pavilion to be finished real soon, so her class reunion can be held down there. . . . The weather’s been real nice this past week, no humidity and a lot cooler than before. No frying eggs on sidewalks now.

Matter of fact, fall is not that far off, and already I’m seeing leaves falling from the trees.

So it will soon be raking time.

. . . I hear John Meyers’ youth shooting team had a banquet the other day. They have a real nice team out of the East Bath Rod and Gun Club. . . . .

Braves are rolling right along and those Failing Phillies are heading downward after losing big in New York, St. Louis and Detroit. Ye Olde Editor says he’s going to their alumni luncheon this Thursday to see some of the ’93 winning team, but no game. Can’t stand to see ‘em losing again. . . . The new Philadelphia Eagles are practicing, and it remains to be seen on how they’ll do with a new coach and all the new players. . . . Last month of your vacation, kids. Moms are shopping for new clothes already, and you’ll be back in school before you know it. . . . School tax bills have arrived, so now it’s time to figure out how to pay them. I reckon it’s by installment. Oh well, one tax or another. . . .Gotta work in the yard. The rain we had on Sunday is making my grass grow. Have a good week, gang.

Grow UR Biz Donnie Downer

By CAROL RITTER

T

Family Features

he best time to make decisions regarding long-term care is well before it’s needed. An unexpected illness or injury may force you or a loved one into making hasty decisions. Long-term care is a set of services and supports for people who are unable to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). ADLs are self-care activities, such as getting in and out of bed, walking, bathing, dressing, eating, and bowel and bladder management. About 70 percent of people turning 65 can expect to need some kind of long-term care services as they age. Experts encourage everyone over age 50 to take the time, while you have it, to research options and make important choices. Long-term care planning means developing a personal strategy now for how things should be handled later when you or a loved one is in need of care. Important considerations include the following:

Staying In Charge

An important part of long-term care planning is outlining how you would like things to be handled. Expressing preferences clearly about how any declines in ADLs should be handled, what financial resources are available, and who should provide needed care is a good way to retain control. All adults over age 18 should execute legal documents that appoint one or more individuals to make health care and finan­cial decisions for them in the event they become unable to make decisions for themselves. Adults who lose the ability to make decisions before executing these documents must have the court system appoint someone to make decisions for them. An attorney can also prepare an advance care directive, which is a set of written instruc­tions detailing what medical care you want or do not want.

Housing

Those who would prefer to stay at home for as long as possible should make a plan to do so, and consider making modifications as needed. Home modifications are often intended to allow maximum self-care, and to help avoid a fall.

Avoiding a fall can help delay or avoid the need for long-term care.

Typical modifications include widening door­ways, adding wheelchair ramps, improving lighting, mounting stairway chair lifts, installing medical alert systems and adding hand­ rails or safety grips. An important consideration for any­one planning to stay home is to ensure the bath­ room can be used safely. Ideally, your residence should maximize your ability to continue perform­ing ADLs, and help you avoid a fall.

Primary Care

Maintaining a good relationship with a primary care physician is key. Regular check-ups can lead

to early diagnosis of any physical, mental or emotional decline. Be honest and open about symp­toms, daily habits or changes in appetite.

Be sure to have the primary care physician review all medications.

Ongoing medication management is an important part of staying healthy and avoiding a fall.

Family Care

Unpaid family members are the most common source of long-term care help. But, they may not be able to provide all the care you need, or be there every hour of the day. If you intend to rely on family members for long-term care services be sure to involve them in your long-term care plan­ning.

I recently returned from the National Speakers Association Convention in Philadelphia. It’s the place where speakers go to get rejuvenated, to spend time with our peers and to get filled up emotionally and intellectually.

Something happened to me that NEVER happened to me before. An old friend invited me and a colleague to dinner.

We were catching up and a gentleman came up to our table, spotted an empty chair and said, “May I have this chair?” I said sure we don’t need it. He pulled the chair out and sat down! I said, “I’m sorry but we are having dinner and he said, “So am I”. We looked at each other amazed and just couldn’t believe a stranger would do this.

We already ordered, he asked for a menu and started talking. “Isn’t life tough?” “You can’t make money as a speaker in this town.” It was definitely Donnie Downer. So we decided to proceed with our dinner and just be polite. I called the waiter over to confirm that we didn’t know him and we needed separate checks. The waiter asked if we wanted him removed but by then his food arrived. He dug into his turkey club and fruit salad, listening to us and continuing with his negative babble. I guess he was harmless, maybe even lonely, but he did lack something most Make sure they are willing and able to be caregivers for you.

Paid Care

As part of your long-term care plan, look into caregiving services in your area, including in-home care providers and elder daycare centers.

successful speakers have-CHARISMA. Did you ever work with someone who everyone wants to be around and many times people wish they could be like? These people have charisma! They have the ability to build long lasting relationships, they influence the folks around them in a good way.

The are really good at helping people feel better about themselves and they generally have tons of long lasting relationships.

Just because someone is remarkably charismatic doesn’t mean they are successful. As a matter of fact, sometimes it means they are a great interview but a horrible performer. If you want to “Grow UR Biz”, identifying charismatic people who can perform is a must. Surround yourself with performers. The best employees are loyal, charismatic performers. The reason why?

If you love being around charisma, so will your customers.

Donnie Downer didn’t have charisma. I’m not sure what he had but I would be interested in knowing what stranger he will be dining with for breakfast tomorrow.

Pennsylvania anglers get a “kick” out of discounted Philadelphia Union soccer tickets The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) and the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer are providing an excellent opportunity for all current Pennsylvania fishing license holders to purchase discounted game tickets for all home games through October 26, 2013, at PPL Park in Chester, Delaware County.

All midfield, sideline and corner seat categories have been discounted $5 off regular price exclusively for Pennsylvania fishing license holders. All discounted tickets must be pre-ordered online with no sales occurring at the park’s ticket office.

“Fishing and soccer both provide great fun for many families participating in both outdoor sports,” said PFBC Executive Director John Arway. “Soccer has become the favorite sport for many of us, and we appreciate the opportunity to partner with the Philadelphia Union to help bring more attention to both soccer and fishing. In addition to the Commonwealth’s abundant aquatic resources in local streams and rivers, Pennsylvania offers many excellent venues such as PPL Park along the scenic Delaware River for families to enjoy.”

All seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, and only orders that are purchased together can be seated together.

Discounted tickets cannot be purchased at the park gate, by

Danny Califf phone, and there are no refunds or exchanges for tickets purchased. To pre-purchase tickets, visit www.philadelphiaunion.com/promo and enter the code FISH2013 with all capital letters in the “Promotional Code” text field.

Then select the preferred game date, seat category and exact seat location.

For soccer enthusiasts who don’t have a Pennsylvania fishing license, why not consider purchasing one to fish the rest of the year, or consider purchasing one of the new multi-year fishing licenses to fish for many years. By doing so, soccer fans will realize that a fishing license purchase would not only be their gateway to family fishing fun, but also be a great value with the savings from these discounted tickets. To purchase annual and multi-year fishing licenses, visit www.GoneFishingPa.com.

Those who plan to purchase their first hunting license this year will need to make plans to attend a Hunter-Trapper Education course, and there’s no time like the present to sign up, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Classes are beginning to fill. To register for a course in your area, visit the Game Commission’s website (www. pgc.state.pa.us), and click on the “Hunter Education Classes” icon in the center of the homepage. From here, you can elect to take either the basic “Hunter-Trapper Education” course, which is typically a six-hour course held over one or two days; or the “Hunter-Trapper Education Independent Study” course, which is a home-study course followed by a one-day, twohour classroom review and test. Once determining which course format best fits your schedule, you can register online by selecting a course in your area and then following the instructions.

“Now is the time to make sure that the first-time license buyer in your home is signed up to take the necessary first-step toward purchasing a license,” said Game Commission Hunter Education and Outreach Division Chief Keith A. Snyder. “Don’t wait until closer to fall, as courses will fill up quickly and may become hard to find. Check the website regularly for a class near you or that fits your schedule, and remember more will be added.”

Snyder noted that scheduling the agency’s annual slate of Hunter-Trapper Education (HTE) classes is always an ongoing operation, based on the availability of instructors and facilities, and the agency’s

ability to meet the growing demand for more classes in some counties.

“If you don’t see a class being offered in your area, please continue to check the website as more classes are added to the Class Calendar,” Snyder said. “Please know, though, that some areas have a limited number of classes that may be held at times that are inconvenient for you. Our limited number of instructors cannot always meet everyone’s needs and wants. But they amazingly offer more than 900 classes annually.”

More than 37,000 individuals took HTE courses throughout the state last year. There is no fee for the basic HTE course. Pre-registration is required and online registration is available for all courses through the Class Calendar.

Taught by dedicated teams of trained volunteer instructors, the basic HTE class has been reformatted into a sixhour course. Prior to arriving at their class, students are asked to review four chapters of their student manual, which is available online when you register.

Participants must attend all instruction before taking a test at the end of the course.

Youngsters must be at least 11 years old to receive HTE certification.

Successful completion of a basic Pennsylvania HTE class, or another state’s equivalent course, is required by state law to obtain a first-time hunting or furtaker license, regardless of age.

Registrations also are being accepted for the independent study version of the Continued on page 9

One more item to pack!

AAA Northampton County (3914 Hecktown Rd., Easton) was wonderful in fine tuning all my travel concerns. The port I departed from was Baltimore, MD. My traveling buddy was my cousin Patricia from Virginia who met me there. It was so convenient to park our cars on location and board Royal Caribbean’s “Grandeur of the Seas.” What a beautiful ship, it was like a floating hotel! We shared a beautiful balcony stateroom and had breakfast on our balcony every morning! On the upper deck we watched the sunrise as we enjoyed our morning walk, and later found a lounger in the solarium and relaxed with a good book. Lovely dining room with reserved seating for dinner, and Broadway-style evening entertainment. So many activities available on ship and fun excursions at each port! We stopped at St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Labadee (Royal Caribbean’s private island), and my favorite was visiting Old San Juan. Lovely and so picturesque, and shopping was great! Patricia and I found a Coach Store outlet! That’s vacationing!

Thank you to AAA and my travel agent, Mary. It was so relaxing not to have to worry about the details of my vacation, we were able to relax and not stress!

Arriving home, I was greated by visitors I wasn’t expecting. Some kind of beetles that were on my walls, curtains, and drawers.

I made the mistake of trying to step on one and the smell that came from the bug was disgusting! The dreaded Stink Bug! My neighbor had the same problem and told me to call an exterminator.

She used a local business called Rid-Et Pest Control (42 S. Main St.) who have been in business 40 years.

Thankfully the company was still open even though it was late in the day and had an opening in their schedule to come the next morning. Rid-Et assured me that the pesty stink bug will not bother me during the night but I still slept with the hall light on!

The serviceman came on time and walked around the outside of my house spraying a chemical repellent that would not harm my garden, but would deter these smelly things from wanting to come into my house!

By the time Rid-Et was finished inside my house, Continued on page 9

there were no sign of my visitors, and no mess to clean up! So happy! Don’t forget the 2013 “Martin on Main” festival (martinonmain.org) is coming up this Saturday, August 3!

In addition, the event will feature more than 60 artisans and food vendors! Bring a chair and relax at Center Square listening to the music and meeting new people!

basic HTE program, which also is available for those 11 years of age or older. A fee of $2.53 may apply if applicants order a printed copy of the study manual, or they can review the course materials online free of charge, and then attend the one-day, two-hour classroom review and test.

In addition, registrations are being accepted for other educational programs offered by the Game Commission, including Successful Bowhunting, Successful Turkey Hunting, Successful Furtaking and Cable Restraint Certification.

The Successful Bowhunting course is a one-day voluntary training program for those seeking to expand their skills and knowledge of bowhunting. Although Pennsylvania doesn’t require archers to complete a bowhunting education course before they purchase an archery license, certification for this course is required to bowhunt in some other states. There is a $20 course fee, which covers the cost of the online study course required before attending the class.

A CITATION from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was presented to Manny Mirabito, owner of My Place Pizza, on Saturday afternoon. It was presented

by State Rep. Marcia Hahn in recognition of his 25 years of successful business and service to the community at E. Northampton St., Bath.

Shown with Manny are his wife, Fiorella, sons Anthony and Nicholas, members of Bath Borough Council Robert Fields and Carol Bear-Heckman, and the Borough Manager Tom Petrucci. Rep. Hahn said Bath is a small town, and most everyone knows what people want. The Mirabito’s do that very well

Know The Weather When is the hurricane season? Why do hurricanes assail the coast almost exclusively? Has the main track of these tropical-bred storms been changing course in recent years?

Hurricanes usually begin in late summer--but sometimes brew in mid summer. They are unlikely after November. These massive low-pressure circular storms usually threaten the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean--in this part of the world.

They move to the northwest and finally to the northeast and blow themselves out in the higher latitudes. Because they almost always drift to the east, in the end, and don’t originate over Mexico or seldom off Mexico’s west coast, the western and central states don’t have to experience them. Upper middle states, such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, are protected by their geographical position and the distance of land between them and the Gulf. Hurricanes wear themselves out over long stretches of land.

Dr. Bob Hampton

Carpenter’s Community Church

The Gospel According to St. Nik Nik Wallenda represents the 7th generation of aerialists and tightrope walkers from the famous Flying Wallenda family. Back on June 23rd, he ambled and prayed his way across the ¼ mile stretch of 2 in. cable stretched high above the Little Colorado River Gorge; and this against wind gusts up to 30mph. Oh, and no safety harness or net. Nothing between him and the dry riverbed 1500 ft. below. Not exactly your afternoon stroll in the park.

As I reflected back on Nik’s heroics, I couldn’t help but connect the parallel dots between what he did a month ago and Jesus did 2 millennia ago. We can readily see 4 Key Gospel Elements in his trek across that Arizona canyon that illustrates Jesus’ march up Calvary’s hill. (I’ll share the ensuing three Key Gospel Elements over my next three sermonettes.)

The 1st Key Gospel Element reveals the great chasm that exists between man and God. I don’t care how much training an Olympian long-jumper can do to prep for a leap across that gorge. I don’t care how much of a running start he may take. I don’t even care how sincere he may be in wanting to successfully span the great divide.

Even Superman couldn’t negotiate that leap with a single bound. Even he would fall short – but make a significant impact.

In life, the great chasm between us and God is our sin; our deviation from His revealed Will for our lives. His Perfectly Holy character cannot tolerate our imperfectly unholy behavior; and there’s nothing we can do about it. The chasm is too wide: First, we can’t rely on our religious heritage to carry us across, even if we could boast a 2-century lineage of godly forebears. No divine provision to hang onto their spiritual coattails and be pulled into Heaven on their merits. Second, we can’t earn God’s favor by performing a litany of good works to span the divide; for we could never do enough or be good enough.

The standard is Perfection; and God doesn’t grade on a curve. And third, we can’t put all our spiritual eggs in the basket of religious rituals to bridge the gorge. Baptism, communion and church membership are all good ceremonies, but even these can’t rescue us from the catastrophic plummet that our sin has caused.

So the 1st Key Gospel Element observed in St. Nik’s Gospel account can be summed up in this way: Our sin has caused a grand canyon that separates us from God, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

You are no exception. Neither am I. We’re all sinners and come up far short of matching God’s criterion to enter Heaven: Perfection. But is this really all that big a deal? Certainly the consequence of our sin can’t really be all that traumatic, can it? I’m going to keep you hanging on that tightrope for a few months.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Lehigh Township Historical Society Thanks to all who supported The Lehigh Township Historical Society’s recent chicken barbecue at the historical centre in Pennsville on July 27.

The Lehigh Township Historical Centre will be open on two Sundays in August, the 11th and 25th, from 1 to 4 p.m. Stop in and you will see many changes inside. There are new showcases filled with memorabilia and new displays. Items are donated on a regular basis. Recently, the society acquired several old newspapers, one dates back to the 1800s and one newspaper cost $1.50 per annum, a pair of glasses at least 100 years old, an old traveling razor that screws together, a framed article about Danielsville in a newspaper dated July 6, 1997, and a framed group of pictures pertaining to the dedication of the Danielsville Post Office on November 26, 1960. Also, a bag which was used in 1932 when United States Steel purchased the company and merged with Universal Cement, donated by the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum. The 94 lb. bag bears the Portland Atlas Cement trademark. Since we had no memorabilia from the local cement company and

many of our residents worked there when it was the largest cement producing plant in the world, we were elated to receive something pertaining to the cement industry - our thanks to all who donated these items. If you have any memorabilia you would like to donate to the historical society, it is very appreciated.

The historical centre will be open the next two full months on the second and fourth Sundays of each month and into October so stop in sometime soon. It will be a step back in time when you see all of the items from years ago. Where would you go locally to see a newspaper from the 1800s or original pictures of the Danielsville Post Office dedication in 1960 or a bag from the Atlas Cement Company used 81 years ago? These are all interesting items which were donated for the public to enjoy. There is no charge but donations are welcome. The building is air-conditioned for your comfort, too. All ages are welcome!

The next historical society regular monthly meeting will be held on Monday, August 12, at 7 p.m. which will be held in the new addition at the centre. For additional information or any questions, call Ken at 610-767-5989.

Focused on Folks 60+ Tips On Caring For An Elderly Patient At Home There is good news for the estimated 66 million Americans who have become a caregiver for a loved one and the 43.5 million of those who provide care to someone over the age of 50.

While the role can be daunting, with access to the right information and resources, it is possible to make the responsibilities, and the stress that can accompany them, more manageable.

This is particularly true when it comes to

monitoring a medical condition, such as in­ continence, that can make providing care for an older person even more complicated.

According to Paula Erwin-Toth, director of consumer education and clinical resource specialist for Welmedix’s HomeCare PRO, when dealing with incontinence, it is important that patients and their caregivers consult a doctor to determine the underlying factors causing it.

To help, here are five things to consider when caring for an incontinent adult.

1. Be vigilant about keeping the skin intact. A break in the skin can offer a pathway to infection, discomfort and worsening health.

2. Use incontinence and skin care products designed for adults. Remember that baby skin and adult skin are very different, so ageappropriate products are important. According to Ms. Erwin-Toth, nurses use products, such as those offered by Welmedix, to help prevent incontinenceassociated dermatitis and

related skin problems with adults.

3. Cleanse the skin as soon as you can after an episode of incontinence.

The longer urine and/or stool remain on the skin, the higher the risk of skin breakdown.

4. Leave his or her diaper open when your loved one is in bed.

This can help reduce the amount of moisture that collects on the skin.

Excess moisture combined with urine and/or stool can lead to skin rashes, fungal infection and breakdown.

5. Avoid an indwelling urinary catheter, if possible. The risks of a catheter causing a serious urinary tract infection are very high. A urinary tract

infection in a person with other medical issues can become very serious, very fast.

It’s also important to remember that the proper interventions can dramatically improve a person’s quality of life.

Use of skin cleansing and skin protection products designed for adults can help keep your loved one’s skin intact and healthy.

Welmedix HomeCare PRO, for example, is a hospital-grade line of incontinence skin care products specially designed for fragile, adult skin. For more information about incontinence and how to treat it, visit www. welmedix.com. (NAPS)
