Vietnam traveling memorial wall at Moore Twsp. recreation center Pet page Page 8

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall arrived this Wednesday and is now set up at the Moore Township Recreation Center at English Rd., Bath, where it will stay through Sunday, August 16.

The public is welcome to view this memorial to the troops who fought and died in that years-long battle.

There will be a candlelight service tonight (Thursday) at

8:00 p.m., when families of 70 Northampton County veterans who are listed on the wall will be remembered. Each of the families will receive a candle and rose. Boy Scouts from Troop 50 of Salem UCC Church, Moorestown, who helped raise the $10,000 cost for bringing the wall here, are in a camp-out to provide security for it. The Boy Scouts and Pastor Donald Brown of Salem Church will take part in a public service on Friday at 7:00 p.m. State

Senator Mario Scavello and State Representatives Marcia Hahn and Julie Harhart will also attend. On Saturday, at 10:00 a.m., a wreath-laying ceremony will be held by the Knights of Columbus Pope Pius XII Assembly #941 of Easton.

Beside Cub Pack 50 and Boy Scouts in Moorestown, Boy Scout Troop 33 from Klecknersville/ Bath, along with Eckley E. Patch Post #470, American Legion in Bath, and the Nam Knights mo-

torcycle club, provided generous donations in bringing the wall here. Two golf tournaments at Southmoore Golf Course also raised funds.

The 288-ft. long memorial is a three-fifths scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., which contains the names of 58,277 service men and women who died or who are missing in action from Continued on page 2

the Vietnam War. The traveling wall, owned and maintained by the Vietnam and All Veterans of Brevard County, Fla., is six foot high and consists of 70 panels. It weighs 10,000 pounds and was brought here in a 38-ft. trailer.

Lynn Kessler of Lehigh Township said that her grandmother saw a flyer two years ago about the group and suggested that it be a project for the Boy Scouts to be involved in. Mrs. Kessler said the boys jumped on it as a great idea. Mrs. Kessler’s uncle, Robert Nickol of Bethlehem, is listed as missing in action after his helicopter crashed during the war, and his name is on the wall.

Members of the Bath Lions Club and other volunteers are also expected to provide security, which is a round-the-clock effort to protect this wall of remembrance. After Moore Township, the wall will next be shown in Forest City, Iowa, then in Wilmore, Kentucky. Since 2005 the wall has been shown at some 140 locations in the eastern half of the country.

St. Luke’s first to Offer non-invasive Cure for leaky Mitral valves

Penn State master gardeners to offer a tomato tasting event at the wild lands conservancy in Emmaus submitted by KELLY BONG

Submitted by MARIELLA MILLER

Arthur Decheser said that “doctors were dancing” last week after they successfully used a new device to stop his mitral valve from leaking.

Surgeons at St. Luke’s University Health Network placed a MitraClip, the breakthrough device made by Chicago-based Abbott Labs, in Decheser’s chest after he learned he was not a candidate for the traditional invasive surgery that is still the standard of care for treating severe symptomatic degenerative mitral regurgitation, a condition that affects more than four million Americans.

The elated surgical team, the first in the region and among the first in the U.S. to perform a percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair using the new technology, included St. Luke’s Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery Dr. Steve Olenchock and Chief of Cardiology Dr. Ray Durkin.

“We now have a great option for the treatment of leaky mitral valves in patients who may be considered too high risk for open heart surgery, or who have been turned down for treatment in the past,” Olenchock said.

MitraClip is non-surgically delivered through a patient’s leg. It requires a short recovery time and a hospital stay of fewer than three days.

Decheser went home the day after his surgery. His symptoms have been relieved, and he says he feels much better. So much so, in fact, that he has agreed to speak with the press.

For more information on the MitraClip procedure at St. Luke’s, visit http://heart.slhn.org/Valve.

Step aside Ms. Kane, House Majority Leader says submitted by STEPHEN MISKIN

House Majority Leader Dave Reed (R-Indiana) called for Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane to step aside in the wake of criminal charges being filed against her on Thursday.

Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman charged Kane with perjury, false swearing, abuse of office, obstruction and contempt of court for allegedly leaking secret information to a Philadelphia newspaper and then lying to a grand jury about it.

Reed issued the following statement in regard to the Kane indictment: “The gravity of the charges outlined by the Montgomery County district attorney against Attorney General Kane cannot be understated.

“The multiple allegations of misusing the office – which is directly related to the performance of her duties as Pennsylvania’s chief law enforcement officer – raise serious concerns about her

ability to continue to serve the citizens of the Commonwealth, and make it virtually impossible for her to function in her current position.

“While she, like any American, is entitled to due process through our court system and remains innocent until proven guilty, the people of Pennsylvania are also entitled to an attorney general whose sole focus is on protecting their safety. With drug cartels and a heroin epidemic endangering the lives of our citizens on a daily basis, we cannot afford to have such a distraction impairing the operation of the attorney general’s office.

“It is time Attorney General Kane puts the interests of the people of Pennsylvania before her own. It is time for Ms. Kane to step aside.

“We will be closely monitoring the case as it moves through the courts and weighing our options as a legislative body if there is no other action taken to remove her from office.”

Attention veterans Rep. Marcia Hahn A representative from the Pennsylvania American Legion will be in my district office this Wednesday, Aug. 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is a great opportunity to have individual questions answered or check out programs that may be available to you.

If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call the office at 610-746-2100. My district office is located at 196 West Moorestown Road, Bushkill Township.

St. Luke’s Performs first live Feed surgery with Medtronic, World’s largest Medical device Company submitted by DENISE RADER

St. Luke’s University Health Network’s functional neurosurgeon Steven Falowski, MD, has partnered with Medtronic medical device company to promote faster and better product development within the field of neuromodulation for patients with pain and disability related to nerve disorders. Many of the patients’ pain and disability is a result of brain tumors, Parkinson’s disease and head and spine injuries.

In a first of its kind undertaking, live video feed taken while Dr. Falowski performs neurosurgical procedures to implant spinal cord stimulators, deep brain stimulators and pain pumps is sent through a specialty camera system to Minneapolis, MN where Medtronic engineers witness how their products are being used in live time. During the surgical procedures, Medtronic engineers have the ability to ask questions to best make modifications to enhance and improve their devices for the future. The first surgery using this technology and Medtronic engineer-St. Luke’s surgeon interaction occurred today, Thursday, August 6.

Dr. Falowski is the Lehigh Valley region’s only fellowshiptrained, functional neurosurgeon, and Medtronic is the world’s largest medical device company. The relationship between the company and Dr. Falowski has been long-standing and has resulted in a number of technological strides that ultimately benefit patients.

“We’ve been working to develop this capability for several years,” said Dr. Falowski. “The live feed, which includes a specialty camera attached to my surgical headlamp, allows Medtronic engineers to see a surgery from my visual perspective and allows the engineers to see exactly how I am using their equipment.”

The partnership is extremely valuable to Medtronic, due in part to Dr. Falowski’s implantation history and success rates. A national leader in neurostimulation implantation, Falowski implants 150 neurostimulators annually and implanted nearly 50 deep brain stimulators last year.

Because of the large number of cases performed of a single procedure, St. Luke’s Neurosurgical Associates’ success rates are higher and complications are lower compared to other, non-specialized facilities.

Participating patients will remain completely anonymous.

The camera system is engaged when the patient is completely draped and only the operative field is recorded through the

technology.

According to Dr. Falowski, “The technology at St. Luke’s is really on the leading edge, especially for neuromodulation. As a result of this partnership, St. Luke’s patients will have access to new technology before any other health care center in the country.”

After FDA approval, new medical products are typically not available for up to six months but Dr. Falowski is one of a handful of physicians in the country with pre-market release access.

For now the Medtronic products being utilized as part of this program are those related to neuromodulation including spinal cord stimulators, deep brain stimulators and pain pumps. But with the technology investment already made Falowski suggests other medical device companies may look to forge similar relationships not only with the neurosurgery department but other surgical as well. Said Falowski,

“The possibilities are truly endless.”

We’ve enjoyed some really great days with less humidity, and the rains we had came at night when folks were sleeping. One thunderstorm left an inch of rain, and must have packed some wind ‘cause I noted some tree branches down. There was some light rain on Monday morning. Anyhow, all in all, we’ve had a pretty nice summer that made up for a bad winter. A nice fall season would be great, too. . . .Musikfest is going on as I’m penning this and there are crowds by the thousands enjoying the different music coming out of the platzes. It’s a lot of walking, though, so you need plenty of energy to walk the hills and dales of Bethlehem. Hopefully, this light rain won’t hamper things. . . . A little bird tells me that E.G. has some items from the seashore at her apartment doorway and has them marked “Surf ’s up!” as her way of thinking about relaxing on the sand and listening to the ocean waves roll in without being there. . . .

Phillies rolled over the San Diego Padres, but now face those Dia-

mondbacks in Arizona and then the Brewers in Milwaukee, hoping to keep up their new found winning ways. . . .I see there’s another state highway locally that’s tagged for re-surfacing. But still no more word on 512. Maybe 2016? Who knows! . . . .The 4-H Fair up in Bushkill Township had a whale of an attendance on Sunday. Cars were parked way up the hill. They had a horse competition and barbecued chicken dinners that probably drew the huge crowd. The 4-Hers have plenty of projects that keep them busy, and with the support they get from their families, I can see that’s another big reason for the crowd. Keep up the great work, kids! . . . . Took notice a few leaves are falling already.

Fall is coming on, I reckon. . . .

Two more weeks and school bells will be ringing. Vacation time is coming to a close real fast. . . .I have some gardening work to do, so I’ve gotta close this letter. Have a great week, and I’ll see you in seven.

One of the main solutions to solving the medical crisis in our country is teaching our children about good health habits at an early age. In simple terms children need to hear about what is good and what is bad to eat.

They need to hear about exercise, sleep, food portions and the importance of flossing and brushing their teeth. Warn them about the dangers of smoking and over drinking. And, it has to be more than just saying something is bad License # PA003267

for you. Show pictures of what a smoker’s lungs look like. Show pictures of what fat looks like in our bellies. Obviously our children are not getting this information in their health classes. Our children are getting fatter and fatter and becoming very obese Americans. Thus, they are dealing with diabetes and heart issues at very young ages. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

We must press the health information on the minds of American people and make the care available and affordable.

If we live long enough we will all die from some health related issue. However, good medical care is an integral part of living a happy normal life.

NORTHAMPTON AREA 39 Sunny Slope Farms acres For sale for ag/open space

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News Sunny Slope Farms, at Grouse Drive & E. Beersville Road, is being sold by the Moore Township Board of Supervisors for farmland purposes, as part of the goals of Northampton County’s Farmland Preservation Bureau to protect open space and keep it from

being developed for residential or other uses.

In July 2014, the township bought 41 acres of the farm for $817,320, and afterward sold 1.75 acres for $35,000. At their meeting last Tuesday, the Supervisors voted to sell 39 acres for $9,580 an acre.

Moore Township is a leading

municipality in the farmland preservation program, saving nearly 14,000 acres as the supervisors hope to protect the township’s agricultural heritage.

There will be a speaker on farmland preservation at a meeting in the township building on Monday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m., which the public may attend.

Seeing Beyond The Present

While others focus on the here and now, Christians are called to live a life of faith in God with an eternal focus on His promises seeing beyond the present! Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This “faith chapter” reveals that the “things hoped for” by the heroes of the faith were not material things, but rather the expectation of dwelling with God throughout eternity! Seeing beyond the evils of their day, they lived holy lives consistent with the nature of God, anticipating that He would reward them accordingly. Enoch’s faith related to his “testimony, that he pleased God” (v.5). He looked beyond the wicked lifestyles of his peers and walked with God. One day God just “translated” him into His presence, and Enoch experienced the fulfillment “of things hoped for.” Today we must have similar faith, seeing beyond the present, focusing upon the eternal promises of our Lord, living a life consistent with that faith, and ready to “be caught up...to meet the Lord in the air” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

Noah saw beyond the ridicule of his peers as he built the ark and preached coming judgment, “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark” (v.7).

Abraham “looked for a city...whose builder and maker is God.” Moses refused “to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season...for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible” (v.25-27). “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off” (v.13).

This “cloud of witnesses” who saw beyond the present challenges us to “run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-2).

5 ways to save Money on school gear (Family Features) Families are working to stretch their back-toschool shopping budgets further this year, according to a recent survey by the National Retail Foundation. But saving money isn’t just about how much you spend on supplies; it’s also about making school supplies and equipment last as long as possible.

Here are some tips for protecting your students’ school gear to help stretch your budget – and their gear: Talk with children about handling tech devices. Kids will be kids, and sometimes that means they’ll be tough on their stuff.

Unfortunately, their schoolmandated tech devices – such as calculators, tablets and laptops – can’t always take the beating.

To reduce the risk of accidental breakage, talk to kids about proper handling and storage of their devices and the potential risks for breakage when drops, spills and hard impacts occur.

Lighten the backpack load.

Between books and laptops, students tend to pack a lot of heavy items in their backpacks during the course of a school year. As the load increases, backpack zippers may break, and seams may tear from the daily stress. Reduce the wear and tear by ensuring your kids don’t over-pack their bags.

Not only will this reduce strain on their backpacks, it will lighten the load on students’ backs as well.

Consider a protection plan.

Research shows that some school essentials – such as backpacks and laptop batteries – break or stop functioning within the first 1-2 years of use. To help keep costs down, many retailers offer reputable protection plans, such as SIMPLR, which can help repair or replace the equipment for free or a fraction of what you’d normally pay on your own.

Sharing isn’t always caring.

Even if your child handles his calculator or laptop with care, his friends might not. Establish guidelines with your kids at the start of the school year about what items can be shared with others at school and which cannot. For those things that can be shared, consider encouraging your child to establish ground rules when sharing with friends.

Guidelines could include when the item should be returned, tasks for which the item will be used and an understanding that items will be handled with care.

Don’t forget about bikes. Kids who ride their bikes to school can be just as hard on their bikes as they are on their school supplies. A tune-up at the start of the school year can keep the bike running smoothly and help catch wear and tear, such as damaged spokes or worn tires and brake pads.

For more information on protection plans for your child’s school supplies and tech devices, visit simplrplan.com.
