Nazareth native serves aboard a U.S. Navy Ballistic Missile Submarine submitted by LT. ROBERT KEARLEY A 2006 homeschool graduate and Nazareth, Pennsylvania native is serving in the U.S. Navy as part of a crew working aboard one of the world’s most advanced ballistic missile submarines, the USS Henry M. Jackson.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Chad Cutlip is an electronics technician serving aboard the Bangorbased boat, one of 14 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines.

A Navy electronics technician is responsible for maintaining the interior communications, and allowing missile technicians the appropriate navigational guidance.

“I like that my job allows me the opportunity to be hands-on,” said Cutlip.

Measuring 560 feet long, 42 feet wide and weighing more than 16,500 tons, a nuclearpowered propulsion system helps push the ship through the water at more than 20 knots.

rine launched ballistic missiles.

They are designed specifically for stealth, extended patrols and the precise delivery of missiles if directed by the President. The Ohio-class design allows the submarines to operate for 15 or more years between major overhauls.

On average, the submarines spend 77 days at sea followed by 35 days in-port for maintenance.

According to Navy officials, current ballistic missile subma-

Lead Ohio Replacement construction must begin in 2021 in order for the first new submarine to commence its first strategic patrol in 2031, Navy officials explained. Ohio replacement ballistic missile submarines will provide the nation’s survivable nuclear deterrent through the 2080s. The plan includes 12 Ohio replacement submarines, each with 16 TRIDENT II (D5) missiles and a 42-year service life.

The 12 Ohio replacement submarines provide the same at-sea presence as 14 original Ohio submarines saving $20B (CY10) over the life of the class.

“Every day I am extremely proud to lead and serve alongside the exceptionally talented men and women of the submarine force,” said Capt. Mark Schmall, commodore of Submarine Squadron 17, of Bangor, Washington. “Our team is filled with dedicated, hardworking, and highly qualified professionals who hold uncommon levels of responsibility and accountability in support of our nation’s strategic deterrence mission. Their work ethic, commitment, and enthusiasm are second to none!”

Cutlip is part of the boat’s Gold crew, one of the two rotating crews, which allow the ship to be deployed on missions more often without taxing one crew too much. A typical crew on this submarine is approximately 150 officers and enlisted sailors.

“It’s a really cool experience serving aboard this sub, and I’m fortunuate that this time has pro-

vided so many life lessons that will help to further my career,” said Cutlip.

A key element of the Navy’s mission is tied to the fact that America is a maritime nation, according to Navy officials, and that the nation’s prosperity is tied to the ability to operate freely on the world’s oceans. More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water; 80 percent of the world’s population lives close to a coast; and 90 percent of all global trade by volume travels by sea.

U.S. strategic deterrence promotes global stability by preventing coercion by threat of nuclear attack, helping prevent proliferation of nuclear weap-

ons, and assuring non-nuclear allies and partners the U.S. will respond if attacked, according to Navy officials. The ballistic missile submarine force is the survivable leg of the U.S. nuclear triad.

A survivable deterrent can impose unacceptable consequences even after being attacked. Ballistic missile submarines will be responsible for ~70% of deployed nuclear warheads under the New START. Ballistic missile submarines are an effective sea-based strategic deterrent because submarines are undetectable when submerged and provide adequate range to allow operations far from adversaries in broad ocean areas, Navy officials explained. The new submarines are designed with state-

of-the-art stealth to remain undetectable into the 2080s.

According to Navy officials, because of the demanding environment aboard submarines, personnel are accepted only after rigorous testing and observation.

Submariners are some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy. The training is highly technical, and each crew has to be able to operate, maintain, and repair every system or piece of equipment on board. Regardless of their specialty, everyone also has to learn how everything on the ship works and how to respond in emergencies to become “qualified in submarines” and earn the right to wear the coveted

gold or silver dolphins on their uniform.

Challenging submarine living conditions build strong fellowship among the elite crew, Navy officials explained. The crews are highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches, and drills.

“Service in the Navy means that I’m helping to ensure that my family, friends, and country all remain safe; because this sub is one of the strongest assets to ensuring stability in the world,” added Cutlip.

school Doggie Roast

By KATHLEEN UNGER As vacation time draws near, I am reminded of the doggie roast my mother used to host for the kids in her neighborhood. The event always took place on the last day of vacation before school started. A few weeks before the event, the little girls in the neighborhood would gather to create an invitation. They would work on it for days, cutting and pasting invitations in the shape of a hot dog. Then they would deliver the invitations to each house where there were children.

Next, they planned what games would be played at the picnic. The whole backyard was turned into a carnival. Usually they planned a fishpond, drop the clothespins in a milk bottle, ball toss through an old sheet hung on the wash line with a hole in it, and a bicycle rodeo. The boys were usually the ones participating in the bike rodeo. They decorated their bikes with crepe paper woven through the spikes of the tires and they clipped a card near the spokes with a clothespin, to simulate a clicking sound.

Of course, prizes were needed for the winners of these games so my mother and I provided candy, packs of gum, pencils and other “back to school” items we could find at the G.C. Murphy 5 & 10 store. (I wish there had been yard sales back then so I could have picked up some really nice small toys, etc.)

Each mother provided a pack of hot dogs and mother provided sodas and chips for the crowd.

Some mothers attended to watch the activities and help with the games.

When I meet some of those children today, they still remember Lottie’s “doggie roasts” and the fun they had, playing games and nibbling hotdogs.

Trump

changes strategy to combat fall in polls

By JUSTIN SWEITZER With a fair amount of controversies plaguing the Trump campaign in recent weeks, the effects of the negative attention are beginning to show as national and swing state polls show Trump falling behind to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Trump’s floundering numbers seemed to signify that the real estate billionaire needed a strategy change to combat his current dip in the polls.

Rather than overshadow such problems with a wild conspiracy theory or an ad hominem attack, Trump responded with an admission of wrongdoing and a policyoriented speech, an anomaly for Trump’s campaign and a smart decision which could help to legitimize his candidacy to undecided voters as the general election comes closer.

Trump’s brash and often-unfiltered language has endeared him to followers who have identified themselves as enemies to politically correct culture. This type of following has made him immune to controversies which would have demolished other candidacies and otherwise left him in troubling scenarios that could have proven dangerous to his own White House dreams.

But as Trump has come under fire for feuding with a Gold Star military family, fabricating a story about the U.S. paying a ransom to Iran and initially refusing to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan, the billionaire may have ventured into territory too deep to allow for quick dismissals of both facts and controversies. As Trump has found criticism from

both sides of the political spectrum, he is beginning to change his approach in an attempt to keep his campaign afloat.

In a rare move, Trump corrected a false claim he made about seeing a video in which a United States plane carried $4 million in ransom money to Iran. Trump originally claimed to have seen a video documenting the transaction, but later corrected his original claim by clarifying that the video he saw was a hostage plane in Geneva, Switzerland.

Trump further surprised the political world with an economic policy speech given to the Detroit Economic Club on Monday. Policy-driven speeches have often been absent from Trump’s campaign, with him instead opting for more sensational speeches insulting opponents or particular groups. But Trump’s economic speech laid out his vision for the U.S. economy focusing on four specific areas aimed to help “jumpstart” America: tax reform, trade reform, regulation reform and energy reform.

As a part of Trump’s tax reform plan, he promised to cut taxes and reduce the number of current tax brackets in conjunction with House Republicans’ “A Better Way” agenda.

“I am proposing an across-theboard income tax reduction, especially for middle-income Americans,” Trump said. “My plan will reduce the current number of brackets from seven to three, and dramatically streamline the process. We will work with House Republicans on this plan, using the same brackets they have proposed: 12, 25 and 33 percent.”

The suggested tax plan would eliminate the two highest brackets, which are currently slated to tax Americans 35 percent if they make between $413,350 and $415,050, and 39.6 percent if they make over $415,050. Under the tax plan proposed by Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan (RWI) and other House Republicans, those tax brackets would be eliminated and those previously categorized into those brackets would be taxed 33 percent of their income, a large cut for some of America’s wealthiest taxpayers.

Trump also vowed to cut the business tax rate, which currently sits at around 35 percent, to 15 percent, believing it to be a costly measure at the expense of American jobs.

“In other words, we punish

companies for making products in America,” Trump said. “Under my plan, no American company will pay more than 15 percent of their business income in taxes.

Small businesses will benefit the most from this plan.”

Trump did not shy away from his usual style of bold criticism, continuing his full-fledged assault of the policies of President Obama and Hillary Clinton, referring to their positions as the “job-killing, tax-raising, poverty-inducing Obama-Clinton agenda.” However, Trump did so without using the juvenile insults and monikers that are often present at his rallies and in his speeches.

In another display of self-control, Trump additionally refrained from responding to hecklers who arose throughout the duration of his speech.

The GOP nominee also addressed trade, voicing his familiar opposition to trade deals that lead to the outsourcing of American jobs such as the Trans Pacific Partnership and the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement.

Trump said his seven-point trade plan will look to renegotiate NAFTA, protect against currency manipulation and place tariffs on countries that “unfairly” subsidize their goods. Trumps says his trade reform plan strongly focuses on enforcing trade with China, which “could return millions of jobs into our economy.”

Instead of resorting to tactics that have proven inciteful and divise, Trump painted himself as a champion of deregulation, a supporter of fossil fuels and a surrogate of trade that abandons globalism for “Americanism,” which Trump believes needs to be the core of the country’s economic goals. His support of these traditional Republican ideals may help to bolster his support among fiscal conservatives, while his “America First” economy will likely strengthen his alreadystrong support from blue-collar voters.

Whether Trump will truly “make America grow again” is unsure, as just minutes after his speech, the factual accuracy of his plans were already being disputed by outlets such as National Public Radio and CNN. But Trump’s shift to a focus on policy rather than hostility is a move to be

celebrated by Republicans who are growing skeptical of Trump’s ability to challenge Clinton, and a step in the right direction for a candidacy that has long-relied on sensationalism in place of substance.

How do you Milk an Almond? submitted by JOHN BERRY I’m fortunate enough to have three healthy, active, happy, and curious grandchildren. These very young adults also live near to my house so we get to interact regularly. A recent episode caused quite a bit of thought and research and is the reason for this brief story.

It all began when my 10-yearold granddaughter asked for us to take a field trip, “So we can see the farmer milk her almonds.”

Since I have a career of over 50 years in agriculture, the comment caused me to laugh uncontrollably. This young woman is selfconfident enough to persist in her quest for a farm and food experience despite grandpa’s rude reaction. She soon had her three year old brother also wanting to see almonds get milked.

As my day job is focused on education, once I realized these two kids were serious, we started our research. We had a dictionary handy and looked up “milk.”

The primary definition according to Webster is that “milk is an opaque liquid produced by female mammals to nourish their young.” Now we had to look up “mammal” and “opaque.” Once we had this knowledge, even the three year old was able to grasp that almonds were not mammals and then his sister added, “So how could we find a farmer that was milking them?”

We next did a computer search for anything related to milk. As you might be able to guess, we found a few liquids that are promoted for human consumption that claim to be milk. Some of the more popular products in addition to almond milk that we found were soybean milk and coconut milk. The ten-year-old decided none of these are mammals, let alone female mammals.

This took us back to the dictionary. As we more fully explored the definitions of “milk” we found that when used as a verb the word milk means, “to exploit or defraud.”

Long story short, we did spend a fair amount of time that day on a local farm that does produce milk. This farm welcomes visitors seeking a better understanding and awareness of our farm and food community. We saw milk Continued on page 6

Grow UR Biz

by CAROL RITTER

Boost UR Brand

Musikfest has finally arrived.

My company is promoting an event in September, the Angel 34 South Italy Imports International Food and Wine Festival. South Italy Imports invited us to hand out “save the date” postcards at Musikfest. Besides dodging the incredible downpour, it was an eye opening experience. It was a lesson in people, in politeness, and in rudeness. It was all about boosting the brand of the event, getting the word out and inviting folks to join us to raise dollars for children with pediatric cancer. As a bonus, South Italy was providing wine sampling for the festival attendees. We tried a number of strategies to get the word out: Strategy 1: Wait for folks to approach us – it didn’t work.

Strategy 2: Look for friendly folks to talk to – it didn’t work.

Strategy 3: Go to the curb and say we are hosting another festival at Artsquest – BINGO! As soon as I said there would be another festival, the festival lovers stopped and listened.

Some said thanks, some said I’ve already heard of this, some said no thanks, some said I’m there and I’ll bring all my friends and then I met the nicest, rudest person in the world. I saw a group of people standing by the ice cream stand. I said, “Hello folks, may I tell you about another festival coming to Artsquest in September?” She answered, with a big smile on her face, “Thank you very much, but you may not.” I backed away. She was so proud of her rudeness and laughed in a mean way when I left. It’s not always easy to boost your brand, but here are some techniques for getting the word out.

1. Boost your brand techniques- blog about the event every single week - focus on your expertise.

2. Media driven promotion of the event - get everyone talking about the event.

3. Set yourself up as a big fish in a small pond - think about

who can help you boost your brand, educate them, especially past clients.

4. Utilize opportunities to plant seeds - networking, writing, and social events.

Handing out “save the date” cards at a festival is like going door to door, but without houses.

It’s just one more opportunity to boost your brand, tell your story and teach people that you represent a noble cause and are planning a one of a kind, amazing event to benefit children.

Conservation School Student Talks to Bath Lions Sponsor

Bath Lions Club president Melissa Grube and Jr. Conservation School student Mary Holbert of Northampton.— Contributed photo

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Ever since the Northampton County Junior Conservation School was founded in 1981, the Bath Lions Club has consistently sponsored a student to attend the one-week, hands-on course to learn the value of conserving our natural resources.

This year there were 21 students, aged 14-17, who attended the school in mid-July, headquartered at the 4-H Center in Bushkill Center.

On Wednesday, August 3, Mary Holbert, a student at Northampton Middle School and one of the NCJCS classmates, spoke to the Lions. She said it was an awesome experience and she learned

a lot about the environment. “It was an exhausting week, but I’m stronger,” she said.

She described the long hike in the summer heat, visiting the devastated area at Palmerton, learning about bugs and other wildlife, and traveling some 35 miles down the Delaware River by canoe through the rapids and occasionally encountering rocks.

The students collected litter left along the water, but she said the depressing part of the trip was finding hypodermic needles and other drug paraphernalia near Easton.

Overall, she said the conservation school gave her lessons she’ll remember for life. She intends to stay on with the school in future

years and eventually become a counselor.

The school was started in 1981 by the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, who saw the need to teach young people the need for conservation, as well as enjoying the outdoor sports of hunting, fishing, trapping, and shooting as part of our nation’s heritage.

Other Matters Lion Bill Falstich said the recent Bingo the Lions had at the Northampton Exchange Club’s Community Days festival was successful. The Lions next Bingo fund-raiser will be at the Muhlenberg Hospital Festival in Bethlehem on August 17 through 20.

The Bath Lions conducted a litter pick-up along Rt. 512 this Monday morning.

On Wednesday, Aug. 24 the club members will have a picnic meeting at the home of Lions Jack and Gail Metcalf.

Other upcoming events in which the Lions will participate are the Spuds & Suds festival on W. Northampton St. and S. Chestnut St., on Saturday, August 27 from 12 to 8 p.m. They will volunteer on one of four committees.

On Sept. 6 the Bath Lions will attend a Slatington Lions steak night, and on Sept. 21 they will travel to the West Penn Twsp. Lions dinner meeting in Schuylkill County.

Our prayers are with you too, Reverend. . . .The 4-H Fair at Bushkill Township had pretty good weather over the weekend and nice crowds to see all the handiwork the kids do in sewing and taking care of their farm animals. Chicken barbecue was good, too. . . .The Martin on Main event in Nazareth on Saturday had good crowds, too, listening to folks playing guitars at the circle downtown. . . . I did miss out on some things, though.

Elmira says I’m an MLB addict – can’t take my mind off baseball – and it’s driving her batty, so to speak. Reckon I should tone it down. I love you, honey! . . . . Legionnaires are not bowling as much now for the summer, but are out on the golf course hoping to get good scores like the pros they see on TV. But soon they’ll be back on the lanes at the Legion as the leagues form for their competitive matches. . . . It’s corn-onthe-cob season, and there’s plenty to go around. Hunsicker’s and Amore’s have plenty, along with the farm markets in town, Nazareth and Northampton. Not only that, there are organizations that run clambakes this time of year, and sweet corn is always part of it, along with the seafood delicacies.

Most folks chomp on the rows of corn with their teeth, but there are others who just slice the kernels off the cob on accounta false teeth or whatever. . . . The Olympics are going on down in Rio deJaniero, but from what they’re saying about the putrid water, I don’t think I’d like to go boating or swimming in it. Hopefully, it’s all right in the swimming pools for the swimmers and divers. Always lots of good sports to watch.

I’m not sure if I like the summer or winter Olympics better, but it takes a powerful lot of training for all those athletes to go

through what they do, either way. . . . Good luck to C.Z. I hope she got her kidney transplant and is okay. . . . “Gigi” Kahler and Sarah Hutchison from town had the crowd roaring when they did the “Chicken Dance” as an accordionist played the lively music at Musikfest the other day. . . .On a sad note, my sympathies to one of Ye Ed’s buddies, Tim Danner of Point Phillips, at the passing of his wife. . . . The supplement that our paper will be doing next week should bring back a lot of memories to our old-timer residents and let the newcomers see the great little town they’re living in… Gov. Wolf was in Allen Township the other day for the groundbreaking of the new FedEx distribution center warehouses. With traffic like it is now, I hate to think of how much worse it’s gonna be with all the warehouses popping up all over the Lehigh Valley. I reckon folks will hafta leave for work an hour ahead of time with the thousands and thousands of cars and trucks on the roads. Guess we hafta grin and bear it. . . .I’m satisfied to sit at home and not worry about that much anymore. . . .Have a great week, gang!

We are blessed to live in a society that has abundant food choices. According to our financial situation and our social perspective, we may not be able to purchase everything we want or we may choose to purchase certain items no matter the expense.

I am grateful to have access to all the fresh, nutritious, local milk I can handle. It really hit home for me when the three-year old said, “I love milk!”

New Trading Post at the Market

Governor Wolf Announces Groundbreaking of New FedEx Ground Mid-Atlantic Distribution Facility in Northampton County submitted by JEFF SHERIDAN Governor Tom Wolf announced Friday that FedEx Ground has broken ground on a distribution center in Allen Township, Northampton County. The new facility is expected to create 680 new full-time and part-time jobs, and is slated to open in late 2018.

“This project is a huge win for Pennsylvania,” said Governor Wolf, while attending Friday’s groundbreaking in Northampton. “The FedEx Ground terminal will become the company’s largest warehouse and logistics hub among the 34 it operates nationwide. The fact that FedEx chose Pennsylvania over two other states to expand, is a testament not only to the commonwealth’s business-friendly atmosphere, but also our strong local workforce.”

FedEx Ground has purchased 253 acres in Allen Township, Northampton County, and will construct an 800,000-square-foot distribution center and related structures as part of a new MidAtlantic hub. FedEx Ground will invest more than $227.5 million in the project, and is projected to create 282 new, full-time jobs over the next three years and also anticipates creating 398 new, permanent part-time jobs. In addition, the company is expected to retain 1,652 existing employees statewide.

FedEx Ground received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development that includes a $1,130,000 Pennsylvania First Program grant, $846,000 in Job Creation Tax Credits to be distributed upon creation of the new jobs, and $126,900 in

WEDnetPA funding for employee training.

The project was coordinated by the Governor’s Action Team, an

experienced group of economic development professionals who

Moore Twp. land preservation Board to study re-draft of fund

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News Moore Township’s solicitor David Backenstoe on Tuesday, August 2 detailed what the Land Preservation Board may do in a re-draft of the Open Space Fund that was approved by voters in 2005 in establishing a 0.25% earned income tax.

He began by explaining how the 2005 vote made it possible to put agricultural land aside for open space.

The referendum at that time outlined three uses for its funds: (1) Acquire agricultural conservation easements. The township could purchase agricultural conservation easements, or participate in state or county land preservation programs that acquire agricultural conservation easements.

(2) Finance the acquisition of open space. The township could purchase undeveloped land from landowners in the township in order to protect sensitive natural areas such as woodlands, stream valleys or other unique natural resources or habitats.

(3) Acquire property development rights. Under this option, a landowner would sell the development rights of a property to the township.

Moore Township coupled with Northampton County for a county-township partnership.

A 2013 amendment to the statute on open space funds said that

25% of the funds could be used for title searches, engineering studies, developing and attaining property.

It will be up to the Land Preservation Board to re-draft the open space fund to confirm that they can use up to 25% for transaction fees, legal services, title searches, and maintenance on a case by case basis.

Supervisors Chairman David Tashner said, “Moore Township has been outstanding throughout the state for preservation of land for open space.”

Other Matters • It was announced that Sgt. Richard Knecht of the Moore Township Police has retired as a township officer after 31 years of service. He will now assume a new position as an officer in the Northampton Area School District Senior High police department.

• A lot line adjustment for Joseph Beal was approved after an explanation was given by John Becker of the township’s Planning Commission.

• Sterling Laubach reported that the summer program for 162 children is “running real well.”

• Secretary-treasurer Richard Gable reported ordering recycling containers.

He also announced that the township will present another free movie night at dusk on Friday, August 19 at Borek (football) Field in the recreation cen-

ter. The movie is “Star Wars.” The food stand will be open at 7 p.m. and it will be dollar night for hot dogs, popcorn, nachos and cheese, soft pretzels, candy, slushies, etc. Said Gable: “Come early and enjoy the park before the movie!” Last month, 265 people attended the movie night.

Community Days Gable announced that a large number of events are planned for August 26 and 27, when Community Days will be held at the Moore Township Recreation Center. Among them: PennStar helicopter will land; K-9 demonstrations; tractor parade, kids games, train rides, fireworks on Saturday night at 10 p.m.; Boy Scout camp-out; Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. demonstrations; FRCA planting seeds; craft show, a flea market and open air farmers market. Entertainment will be provided by Point 08, Uncle Smiley, and Crazy Hearts.

Hours on August 26 are from 3 to 10 p.m., and on August 27 from Noon to 10 p.m.

The Historical Commission will have a major part of the weekend celebration as well.

Charmaine Bartholomew said on Tuesday that they will be having three tours of the township on Saturday, Aug. 27 –– at Noon, 2:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. The tour will cost $5, which includes an historical booklet of the township. Children are free if accompanied by an adult. The book

alone will cost $2.00.

The Historical Commission will make up a hex sign that shows the township’s 250th anniversary logo, when the township was established in 1765.

They are also working on a booklet that has photos of the Edelman School being visited during last year’s celebration. Another fund-raiser was approved on Thursday – a calendar by the commission that will have photos of Moore Township’s past.

Tentatively, on October 6 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. there will be another fund-raiser at the Southmoore Golf Course restaurant, in which there will be a buffet meal of German foods. People who may have old-time player piano rolls may bring them so that everyone can hear the music.

Monthly Reports Police Chief Gary West reported for July: 318 total incidents; 27 warnings / verbal and written notices; 14 traffic citations; one non-traffic citation for harassment; two arrests for DUI; three reportable and five non-reportable accidents.

Klecknersville Rangers Fire Co. fire recorder Jason Harhart reported that in July the Rangers responded to 30 fire calls needing 193 man-hours (four fires, three accidents, two fire police, four automatic fire alarms, four ambulance assists, five mutual aid), three wires down, four trees down, and one gas leak. The fire company also responded to 62 ambulance calls that needed 248 man-hours. In training, 111 hours were spent in firefighting and 36 in maintenance building an apparatus.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Paw Prints on Canal raises

$4,772 For Northampton Borough’s K-9 unit

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News Candi Lynn and Julia and Tom Glick, leaders of Paw Prints on the Canal for the past eight years, presented a check for $4,772.50 towards the Northampton Borough Police Department’s K-9 unit at Thursday’s meeting of Borough Council. It was accepted by president Anthony Lopsonzski, Jr. With them at the presentation were Officer Michael Buchanan and his K-9 partner, Vito.

The trio of Paw Prints said that 111 spots were occupied when the event was held on June 5.

They thanked the fire police for their help in directing traffic and parking, the borough, and all those who participated in making it a success, notably the Stanglein Vet Clinic’s doctors and staff for the rabies and micro chipping clinic.

Councilmen Robert McHale and Anthony Lopsonzski praised the group for their hard work.

In a news release they handed out, the three said that Officer Buchanan and Vito’s demonstrations not only included how a K-9 does dog searches, but also how the dog is trained to abide by commands from his partner and to assist in apprehending a suspect. Vito was lively at the Council meeting, and especially wanted to bite his yellow ball the officer brought with him.

Winners in the Sharp Dressed Pet contest were Emmie the French Bulldog, first; Zachary

the Pug, second; and Cochise the Longhaired Chihuahua, third.

Other Matters • A representative from Catasauqua requested use of Northampton’s paving machine to pave approximately 1,000 feet, saying their borough would supply the materials. There was some concern expressed and Boro Manager LeRoy Brobst noted some paving already scheduled.

Council approved, based on it not conflicting with the local schedule.

• Council also approved the sixth annual Delaware & Lehigh Heritage half marathon, which will be held Sunday, Nov. 6 from Slatington to Canal Street Park in the 14th St. area of Northampton.

• Three other requests approved were from Northampton School Supt. Joseph Kovalchik for permission of students to use parking space at the borough’s swimming pool from Aug. 29, 2016 to June 1, 2017; the Northampton Chamber of Commerce to have its 20th annual street fair on Sept. 10 between 21st St. and 18th St. and use of the portable band trailer; and a handicapped parking zone near 1354 Stewart Street.

• A grant of $14,997 will be used for an ad campaign on the farmers market, Atlas Cement Memorial Museum, and other outstanding features in Northampton.

• Mayor Thomas Reenock and Chief Ronald Morey, along with 11 police officers, took part in the “National Night Out” held on August 2 at the municipal park to start up the Crime Watch program. Reenock asserted that the police are out there protecting people and property as he reported incidents to which they responded this past month.

• Councilman Anthony Pristash said the swimming pool receipts are $3,200 ahead of last year.

• Councilman Robert Coleman reported the quarterly franchise fee of $5,997.36 has been

received from Service Electric Cable TV, and that Edward Pany, curator of the cement museum, has received $1,000 from Lehigh Hanson, Inc. Final work at Uptown Park is being completed from $65,000 in Monroe County gambling funds that were received.

• Councilman Keith Piescienski reported on activities of the Planning Commission with Pa. Venture Capital and Joe Jones, and Zoning Hearing Board on an appeal by Laura Lubenesky for a fence that is four feet high.

• Eugene Kutzler has been hired as the code enforcement/

• Councilwoman Judy Kutzler asserted that those running the swimming pool are well organized. She also said that the borough should do something to honor the firefighters and fire police for all they do professionally, leaving their families at home while attending to their duties in the safety of the community.

McHale said, “Thank you for your volunteerism.” Mrs. Kutzler commented, “We’re there for you. We support you.”

NAZARETH AREA Nosey in Nazareth

Submitted by TINA SMITH Dear Nazareth, How is your garden growing? I couldn’t figure out how my garden still looks green around the outside of my house with the minimal rainfall and oppressive heat. Well, the green is mostly sturdy, healthy weeds. So I’ve been getting up early before work to prune and pull these pests, and then again I’m out after dinner, as the sun is setting. It is still so oppressively hot. As I’m on my hands and knees, reaching under an arborvitae tree, I see two “eye-peepers” looking back at me. He doesn’t move and I didn’t scream. I’m looking at a big, gray bunny with lop ears. I believe he must be someone’s runaway pet, yet he doesn’t want me to come any closer than two feet away.

My neighbor has a little dog that weighs 13 lbs. This rabbit has to be at least that or more. I know not to feed other people’s pets but I had to put out some lettuce and a carrot for “Benjamin Bunny.”

When I returned to the garden, he had moved. I left the snack in hopes to see him again.

Do you ever check the 2016 Guide to Historic Nazareth?

There is a handy listing of events

that take place in the local area.

I went to the Nazareth Area High School on July fourth to participate in the annual Kazoo Parade, hosted by the NazarethBath Regional Chamber (201 N. Main St.). If you want the patriotic feel for Independence Day and are looking for a way to be a part of the community, this event does it all. I never played the kazoo before but it is easy to learn and provides lots of laughs and camaraderie. The locals cheered us on as the parade made its way to the ball field for a wonderful program.

Nazareth Day’s was July 14-16.

The whole town participates with sidewalk sales and entertainment.

I loved the “Classic and Antique Car Show” that was at the Nazareth Borough Park. I fell in love with a late 50’s aqua-blue T-Bird convertible—that was not for sale unfortunately.

Have you been to downtown Nazareth lately? There is a new shop called Smooch on Main (101 S. Main St.), don’t you love that name? I was able to go to the boutique’s ribbon cutting and loved what this shop is bringing to Nazareth. Stephanie Varone is the owner and she is also our downtown manager. Smooch on Main provides makeup and skincare products that Stephanie will personalize to your skin tone.

Smooch also carries creative jewelry, scarves, and handbags.

What a great place to visit and browse, you never know what you might find.

The same evening, across the street, is my hair salon, Shear Envy (108 S. Main St.) and the owner is Tara Tomko. She was celebrating her tenth year anniversary. I was just a walk-in when I discovered this salon a few years ago. I love the creative expertise of the beauticians and I have even made appointments for spray tans for those fun occasions. When is the last time you went to eat at The Nazareth Diner (581 S. Broad St.)? I love getting breakfast there. This is my first time I have had home fries.

Not originally from the area, I usually do not have potatoes with my eggs. It was suggested to add peppers and onions with the home fries. This diner is newly renovated, having added on a banquet room. The menu has a large selection. My breakfast extended into the lunch time, and where I was seated, I watched as the servers set up the salad bar… they had over 40 items. By the way, please note the mosaic art displayed. The artist is one of the diner’s owners, Pete Theodopolis.

I was quite looking forward to the ninth annual Martin on Main that took place on August 6. This is a free community musical event celebrating C.F. Martin Guitar, Inc. Two stages with live music, food court featuring local restaurants and caterers, artisans displaying their talents and selling their wares. And a Martin Guitar raffle! (www.nazarethchamber.com.)

Don’t forget to check out the “Lehigh Valley Non-Profit Expo” (www.facebook.com/NonprofitAwareness), September 10, at the Lehigh Valley Mall. This is a great opportunity for you if you are looking to volunteer, sponsor or donate into organizations that are making a difference by providing needed services to the Lehigh Valley. This is their opportunity to connect with businesses and the public.

One of the programs I was introduced to is The ChemoBag (www.thechemobag.org) organization. This is a group whose mission is to provide gift bags filled with items to provide comfort for people who are undergoing chemotherapy. It sounds like a wonderful idea and you’ll find more organizations like this being represented at this upcoming event.

By the way, I keep checking for my furry visitor, Benjamin Bunny. He shows up every once in a while and seems content and safe.

I keep trying to get him to let me pet him, however he definitely is an independent rabbit, but can you believe he’s not interested in my carrots?

Keep cool, “Nosey”

The Great Equalizer

Update: Pastor Lundmark had a small brain bleed in the area of his brain that controls balance. He is in rehab and is doing well.Thank you for your continued prayers for his complete recovery.

How many people do you know who are rich and successful? They seem to have no troubles and do as they please from day to day. We may even be tempted to be envious of them as the Psalmist suggested: “For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked” (Psalm 73:3). Job spoke of them in his discourse with his “comforters.” In Job 21:7-12, he tells of the good times they experience. Even their kids have the best of things! But, in verse 13, he mentions the great equalizer. Death comes to them also. Rich or poor, strong or weak, known or obscure, ill or well, accepted or despised, fulfilled or craving more, death comes to all. Then they must face the God for whom they had no desire and to whom they saw no profit in praying. God justly distributes “great sorrows” in His anger as Job said in 21:17, “How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger”. The Psalmist agrees, “God judgeth the righteous and is angry with the wicked everyday” (Psalm 7:11).

A holy and absolutely just Deity, who is wounded and angered by his creation's offenses, will deal with them all, individually and personally, with absolute justice! “For he will not lay upon man more [than right]; that he should enter into judgment with God” (Job 34:23). There is only one escape from the “great sorrows” He distributes--by repentance and faith in the justifying sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary. Then YOU will understand along with the writer of the Proverbs, “Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death” (Proverbs 11:4). –Submitted by Carl Edwards

The event is scheduled for Sept. 10 at the Emmaus High School pool and B-104’s Mike Kelly of “Mike and Steph In The Morning” will be broadcasting live from the school throughout the event organized by Team Carly Rocks Foundation , a 501c3 non-

profit. Olympic gold medalist Marty Nothstein, director of the Lehigh Valley Velodrome, will also appear at the event.

“I’m pretty sure I can do it because I have been working on my distance, and it really helps to have so many people cheering for me and encouraging me,” said Carly, who will enter sixth-grade in September.

“I like to swim, I like to try to help other people and I know that I will be able to swim three miles because of the support I am getting from everyone.”

Carly was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2008 when she was 3-years-old.

She began her annual fundraising swims in 2012 after learning about an upcoming diabetes walk. She asked her father, Mitch Lenett – who also has Type

1 diabetes – if she could “swim the walk.”

“A lightbulb went off,” Mitch Lenett said, remembering how his ambitious daughter jumped into a pool at the age of 4 and began swimming after her older brother. “I asked Carly if she would want to do a separate event to help raise money for diabetes research.”

Since her first swim in 2012 when she raised $9,000, Carly has raised more than $80,000 for diabetes research including $28,000 in 2015 and this year she is swimming for the Type 1 Diabetes Exchange represented by Hall. The T1D Exchange to fund specific research efforts and fulfill Carly’s dream of sending kids to diabetes camp where they can learn and have fun.

She will do the swim again this year in honor of fellow diabetes warrior and family friend Naomi Halperin, who died in December 2014 after a long battle with the disease.

“Carly Lenett and Team Carly Rocks are the embodiment of ideal grassroots patient advocacy.

Carly is a role model to others in that she doesn’t alContinued on page 16

low a chronic condition like Type 1 Diabetes to stop her from living life to the fullest,” said Hall, who won five gold, three silver and two bronze medals during his Olympic career. “She is never shy to approach and engage a politician or celebrity or just someone on the street to talk about her management and highlight the urgency in supporting better, faster research. Carly has partnered with

T1D Exchange to drive better, faster research that will get new drugs, devices and therapies to the patients that need them.

“We’re lucky to have such a passionate advocate representing us with T1D,” Hall added.

Kowal, of Reading, who won silver in the 200-meter breaststroke in the 2000 Olympics, has accompanied Carly in the swim for the past three years.

“During the entire swim, I can’t help but be in complete awe of Carly,” Kowal has said. “At her age I thought a 50 was long dis-

tance. A 100 was a marathon for me. The only time she ever stops is if I have to fix my goggles. If I look up to see how far we have gone, she looks over to check up on me. This girl is going to swim the English Channel one day!”

Carly has also been endorsed by two-time Superbowl winner Kendall Simmons of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who posted recently on his Facebook page “The first time I met Mitchell Lenett and his daughter, Carly, I could tell that she was special. The amount of confidence she displayed for someone her age was amazing.

The way she has progressed every year should inspire everyone with diabetes.”

Carly has been featured in both the local media, including stories in The Morning Call and WFMZ-69, and on CNN, Fox29, NBC-10, Sports Illustrated Kids, and in material produced

by USA Swimming and Men’s Health magazine.

In addition to Type 1 Exchange and B-104, Team Carly Rocks is supported by the Helmsley Charitable Trust, PA Foot and Ankle Associates, Ai Orthodontics,
