The Home News Moore Twp. will seek bids to Improve number of roads By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Although bids will be sought, Moore Township Board of Supervisors chairman David Tashner said this past Tuesday that he estimates it will cost $112,000 to improve a number of the township’s roads. Double seal coating will be applied to the following: Smith Rd., Dannersville Rd., E. Walker Rd., S. Oaks Rd., Smith Gap Rd. and Deemers Rd. The same type of improvement will be made on 6,000 sq. yds. of roadway at the recreation center. He estimated that will cost $6,000, but that is already covered in a grant that has been received. Other Matters • The board granted conditional final approval to Point Phillips Hotel for a larger parking lot that will be created from two parcels of land that they are buying. One of the parking spaces is across the street. The zoning hearing board had granted a variance for the work earlier. There will also be grass and landscaping involved. Tanczos Realty representative said they may also pursue a crosswalk as part of the project. Dave Frey of the planning commission sat in on the discussion prior to approval of the parking spaces. • The township has purchased 40 acres of land at E. Beersville and Grouse Dr. at a price of $840,000. It is intended as farmland preservation so that there will be no development and only open space. A farmer is presently paying $175 an acre to cut the grass and is leasing the land until April 2015. • The Environmental Advisory Council didn’t have a report, but Tashner said he recently hiked all the trails to see if there are any problems. He found that some persons using the area had acciden-
tally burned a tent, but fortunately the fire didn’t spread. • The Historical Commission met on July 30, and a member reported that they plan a book of 120 pages, 6x9inches, celebrating the 250th anniversary of Moore Township. It was noted that the commission’s members are very dedicated, but fear they are falling behind, because the anniversary will be on August 29-30, 2015 and there is much work to do. Jen Sterner was appointed a member. The commission’s mission statement was also approved, and a copy of the ordinance creating the commission was provided them. Used bricks have been moved to the former Edelman School for restoration of a sidewalk and wall. The one-room school will be the focal point of the anniversary. It closed in 1957, and Tashner said the commission needs to decide what time period they want the school restored to. • An ordinance is being drafted and will be advertised that deals with alcohol, the consumption or sale of, at the Recreation Center pavilion, providing that the pavilion has to be rented for $50 and a permit issued for alcohol. $40 would be refunded if the pavilion is cleaned up like it was before the pavilion was rented by the person or group. Solicitor David Backentoe said the language of the ordinance allows for the sale of alcohol in very limited circumstances. Supervisor Daniel Piorkowski said that the Historical Commission could sell alcohol during the anniversary, but for the township having to grant permission to themselves to sell alcohol is almost like an oxymoron. • Another ordinance was adopted.

Keith Brenner of Maine hugs Jerelyn Bossard-Baltz of Moore Township, who saved his life 15 years ago with a bone marrow transplant. – Home News photo
Bone marrow recipient Whose life was saved Meets donor 15 years later By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Being an organ donor, or giving blood, is something that has been a part of the Bossard family’s way of life for a number of years. The late Ronald Bossard, who was an assistant fire chief for the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. of Moore Township until he died in 1993, gave blood at the Miller-Keystone Blood Bank to save lives. It was something they do, because they believe in giving. And a Pennsylvania Governor who received a kidney recognized how much it means when people sacrifice their lives to save others. People who donated organs and the recipients at that time were invited to the Governor’s mansion in Har-
610-759-6214
risburg, where they received a gift certificate and a medal from the Governor. When Ronnie died, his wife, Jerelyn (who prefers being called Jerry), found herself having to make a decision about donating her husband’s organs. Together, the family decided to do it, considering how Ronnie had given his life to helping others. With that decision came recognition for Marcie’s mother from the Governor, who presented the family with a bronze medal for the Gift of Life. At St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Berlinsville some time later it was announced Continued on page 3

prepared it and said it is not a single hauler ordinance. Instead, residents must contract with a hauler of their choice or arrange to have trash taken to their place of employment. The township does not want to see any trash thrown along roadways. Backenstoe remarked that a “proliferation of people have been dumping
www.HomeNewsPA.com garbage” on the side of roads recently, thus prompting the ordinance. If there is refusal to follow the regulations, there is a provision in the ordinance that they will be cited with a summary offense that would require them to go before a district magistrate. “I can’t believe it would come to that, but you never know,” Backenstoe said. • In another item brought by Atty. Backenstoe, an extension of time was granted for the William and Dusty Eaton subdivision until August 28, 2015. • The supervisors voted to update the police and township website at a cost of $4,400. • Frey said the Planning Commission wants the flood plain ordinance to include 100 ft. setback. It would more closely follow federal regulations.

Bone Marrow Continued from page 1
that they would have a bone marrow registration drive. A friend told Jerry about it and she was interested. Shortly after, she joined the HLA Registry Foundation, a national organization that deals with transplants. A month later she found out that she was one of only seven persons matched to a patient by the name of Keith Brenner, 36 years old at the time, who was living in Maine, and who had forms of cancer that led to leukemia. It required a bone marrow transplant to possibly save his life. Incidentally, Brenner grew up in Gilbertsville, Montgomery County, Pa. Of those who matched Keith, two were living in Germany, two in England, one in Wales, and two in the United States. Jerry was one of them. While the others declined, she said, “What the heck, I’m going to do it.” On January 28, 1999, Jerry received a letter from HLA about all that is involved when becoming a bone marrow donor. At Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia, her blood was tested and the bone marrow taken. It was shipped to Brigham Woman’s Hospital in Boston, where the procedure was done on March 4, 1999. It saved Keith’s life. Jerry said she wanted to help a cancer patient, because her mother passed away at the age of 25 from the disease. She said, “It’s an amazing miracle that Keith has recovered. I’m a firm believer
in the power of prayer and miracles.” Marcie, the youngest of Ronnie and Jerry’s children, was so impressed with what her mother had done she put together a notice in this newspaper in June 1999. She said, “My mother didn’t stop there. She continues to give the Gift of Life by working with the Miller Blood Bank to get donors and by donating herself. . . When I think of courage, I think of my mother and how proud I am of her.” Keith said that two years after the procedure he had the option of meeting his donor. It didn’t happen then. But, finally, this past weekend they met face to face. Brenner and his wife, Michelle, who have been living in Maine for 30 years, drove down from there to meet Jerry and her family. They had lots of hugs and a few tears of happiness. Fifteen years after his life was saved, the families had dinner together Friday night and on Saturday afternoon everyone enjoyed a backyard picnic at the Community Drive, Bath home of Chris and Jerelyn BossardBaltz. Keith is a structural engineer for Harriman in Auburne, Maine. They have a daughter, Shannon. When we remarked that if you survive cancer you can “thank your lucky stars.” Keith heartily agreed, and is thankful for the gift of life he received from this Bath area family. Both Jerry and Marcie said they hope other people will be organ donors some day and save more people’s lives. We wish Mr. Brenner continued good health. Thanks to Jerelyn’s gift of life, and prayer, that was made possible.

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Clean and Green
For those of you who are feeling lousy with joint and body pain, brain fog, fatigue, depression, digestive issues, and any other ailment I have to make a recommendation. Eat clean and green! I believe this statement is self-explanatory as our bodies THRIVE on wholesome sources of vegetables. The more healthy foods you eat, the better you will feel. Period. Furthermore, this is such a wonderful time of year to be enjoying fresh food. The road back to fantastic health is paved with green leafy vegetables and they are all around you…….go get it! Just this week two of my favorite people on the planet brought me in home grown string beans and cucumbers. Yummy! Thank you Mr. And Mrs. M!! With all this being said, we could get hung up with GMO foods, pesticides, etc. and we would be right in being upset with the chemicals. I would of course ask that you abso-
lutely minimize pesticide use and seek out non-GMO seeds or plants. For the moment, let’s just get going on eating kale, broccoli, green beans, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, and everything else fresh from the garden. As I write this article, I just had a patient tell me of an epiphany she had since her last appointment. This individual has dramatically changed her health around and is now a “recovering diabetic” and feels and looks wonderful. All around improved energy and normal blood sugar with decreased overall body aches. However, last week her blood sugar spiked for some “unknown reason”. Well, after some further discussion and thought she wanted me to know that with her summer work schedule she HAS NOT been eating her GREENS nearly enough. After realizing her mistake, this patient once again

increased her intake of fresh veggies and guess what….. she has reduced sugar levels and is back on track. Guys, this isn’t a difficult concept to wrap our minds around. Just eat clean and green. If you say that you dislike vegetables then you must like sickness. None of us know when or where disease will strike yet it is my belief after these many, many years of assisting others to regain and maintain their health, vigor and vitality, that ‘green stuff’ is always better than bleached and processed stuff. I hope you take this week’s article to heart. My best always. “Natural Perspectives” is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – People Who Need People
By CAROL RITTER
You may think you have a printing business, a video production company, a car dealership, a consulting business or maybe a restaurant. Well, sorry to say, your business is not any of the above, it’s really a people business. There are two kinds of people in your small business, your staff and your customers and both have tanks that must be filled up in order for them to perform. Barbara Streisand sang it, “People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.” And it’s time to make your customers and your staff the luckiest people in the world.
TOP 5 Leadership Lessons for your Staff
1. Always make sure your staff leaves inspired and pumped after a staff meeting. 2. Don’t play the blame game, doesn’t matter who dun it - Just fix it. 3. Pay attention to the work environment, one bad apple really can spoil the entire group. 4. Train your staff. So many companies are not willing to spend money on training when it is important and vital to performance. 5. Spend more of your time with your top performers.
TOP 5 Leadership Lessons for your Customers - there are none because.... The customer is always right The customer is always right The customer is always right The customer is always right The customer is always right I ordered a potato pancake at Musikfest this year. The non-listening, completely uninterested server gave me three pancakes. I politely said I ordered one pancake and she gave me the evil eye and stormed off. I waited and waited and then said to her co-worker, “The other girl is angry because she made a mistake and she disappeared.” Are you ready for this? She said, “This is a 10 day festival and we are tired.” I could not believe it. So, next time one of your employees is too tired to do their job, you might want to consider whether you rehire for next year. Take it from Babs, your customers and your staff reflects you, make them the luckiest people in the world. . Carol S.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip How do you like this weather we’ve been having? It couldn’t be any better. Just the right degree of warmth, and no humidity. It has been a terrific summer for the kids home on vacation from school. And it made it a successful week for the Musikfest that wound down on Sunday night, and the 4-H Fair up in Bushkill Township. The same goes for the farmers
market that still has more than a month to go. . . . The home that was so heavily damaged down along Chestnut Street earlier this year has now been torn down completely. It took about a week, but when they rolled in the heavy equipment that did the job. I haven’t heard anything yet about what will occupy the space once everything is cleared out, whether it’ll
be another home, or if there will be a parking lot. Reckon we’ll find out sooner or later. . . . The church festivals have had big crowds turn out for all the great homemade eats. Looking them over, I see there are plenty of senior citizens that go there. We old-timers enjoy our home cooking, that’s for sure. . . . Took notice that the folks at the Moorestown church are gonna have a bus trip to Nashville to take in the Grand Ole Opry. Nancy Wagner is one of the crew arranging it, I hear. . . .Harold Kulp is proud of the fact that there are four generations of nurses in his family, and he should be, ‘cause it’s a great profession. . . . Northampton beat Limeport in the first game of the Blue Mountain Baseball League finals. Let’s hope they go all the way. It’s been a while since they won a championship, but I hear they have a great team. . . .Didn’t hear anything yet about the oldtime Bath A.A., but I’m still waiting. Betty Fields and Gigi Kahler would like to know more. They’re local baseball fans. . . . After taking in the horse show at the 4-H Fair on Sunday, Elmira and Pete took a ride over to Jacobsburg State Park. We wanted to see the state’s new building that is their Environmental Education
Center that we heard folks talking about. It’s really beautiful. But I couldn’t help but wonder how they managed to put up that steep roof on the building. How did they keep all those slates in place, ‘cause that roof is almost vertical? But I reckon you hafta be a roofer to understand that, which I’m not. . . .It was great to see the Wall of Fame ceremony the Phillies had on Saturday for former manager Charlie Manuel. Still not sure why he’s out of a job and Ruben Amaro, Jr. still has one to be honest withya. Cholly sure did a terrific job with his players. It was also good to see
www.HomeNewsPA.com
all the former players who now have grey hair standing up on that stage for alumni weekend. It was a surprise for them to see how they pulled out a victory over the Mets on Sunday. . . . Sad news about the great comedian Robin Williams. We used love to watch the old Mork & Mindy show. . . . Elmira hinted she wants to try some of those ice cream flavors at the store down on South Walnut Street. Guess I will, too. . . .Enjoy the rest of summer, kids, only a couple more weeks or so until classes start up again in school.

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Bath Area Food Bank Needs Funds to Serve Local Families (Editor’s Note: As the need continues to grow for food to feed local families, Mrs. Jeannie Judd-Wagner, chairman of the Bath Area Food Bank, recently told of their mission and cited statistics which stress the point. This what she said:)
The Bath Area Food Bank is a mission of the Bath Council of Churches. The local pastors thought it was important for us to affiliate with Second Harvest of the Lehigh Valley to increase our sources for food and other items. In September 2010 we began tracking and reporting statistics on our clients. That first month we served 102
local families or 232 individuals. Sixty-two of those served were children, 41 were senior citizens, and the balance mostly working or disabled adults. As we wrapped up our fiscal year in June 2014, we had 281 families registered and served 168 local families or 895 people, including 119 children and 76 senior citizens. In addition to the food we receive from Second Harvest, we receive food from the U.S.P.S. Stamp Out Hunger food drive, the Boy Scout food drive, and food donated by area churches, grocery stores and civic or-

ganizations. Our funding comes almost exclusively from area churches and their members. In 2013, we spent over $32,000 on food. In 2014, we are spending approximately $3,000 a month for food. For the first time in many years, we find ourselves in a financial crunch and we need your help. We certainly welcome your food donations, but with the volume of food we purchase, your money goes further. We calculate that it takes $40.00 a month for us to provide food for one family. Would you consider sponsoring a family for a month? Six months? A year? Financial donations can be dropped off at any Bath Council of Churches member church. At Christ U.C.C. Church of Bath, you can also give your donation to Marjorie Rehrig (610-837-0624), Eileen Applegate (610-7593963), or Jeannie Judd Wagner (610-837-8671). Donations can also be sent to Bath Area Food Bank, 206 E. Main St., Bath, PA 18014. We appreciate your support as we strive to feed those in our community who are hungry.
Mayor Fiorella Mirabito and Barry Fenstermaker of the anniversary committee paid a visit to members of the Bath Lions Club at their picnic meeting on Wednesday at the home of Lions Jack and Gail Metcalf. The Bath Mayor brought two large containers of decorative balls to be used when the Lions decorate the Christmas tree at Monocacy Park this November. The tree was recently replaced with a different type of evergreen and is larger to accommodate the decorations. Mrs. Mirabito also donated $100 to the Lions, and they thanked her for the gifts. This week the Lions are busy with their Bingo concession at the Muhlenberg Hospital Center summer festival. They expressed their thanks to this newspaper for providing advertising space. Adult leaders of Boy Scout Troop 33 are assisting at the Bingo fundraiser. A number of other upcoming events were also announced by club president James Spengler: Visitation to West Penn Twsp. Lions in Schuylkill County, Aug. 20; District 14-K Cabinet Meeting at Schoeneck Moravian Church in Nazareth, Aug. 23; Slatington Lions visitation, Sept. 2; District Rally at Northampton Community Center, Sept. 25; Center for Vision Loss “needs night” in Northampton, Sept. 30.

What’s for Dinner? Take This Quiz To Check Your Meat Nutrition IQ (NAPS)—Many are surprised when they learn that they underestimate the nutritional value of meat and poultry in a balanced diet. Recent polling shows many consumers aren’t aware of the important nutritional benefits that meat and poultry can offer when included
in a balanced diet. That’s the word from the experts at the American Meat Institute Foundation. Here is a short quiz that can give you an idea how your meat nutrition IQ stacks up. Question 1: Which food group is the only group consumed in the proper amount
among Americans? Only one in three consumers recognized that the protein category is the only food category consumed at the proper levels, according to federal data. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend two to three three-ounce servings of protein. A three-ounce

serving of meat is approximately the size of a deck of cards. American men eat 6.9 ounces of meat, poultry and seafood per day and women, on average, eat 4.4 ounces. By contrast, fruits, vegetables and whole grains are underconsumed, while discretionary sugars and fats are overconsumed by Americans. This means that when it comes to meat and poultry, most consumers should continue consuming the amount of meat and poultry they currently enjoy but pair meat and poultry with more vegetables and enjoy fruit for desserts, sides or snacks. Add a whole grain bun to a burger and sip on an unsweetened beverage. Question 2: From which food does the body absorb the most iron? While the No. 1 answer for many consumers was spinach, kale and leafy greens, the correct answer is meat, poultry and fish. While greens such as spinach are high in iron, greens contain a type called “non-heme iron” that is not absorbed by the body as readily as heme iron, which is found in meat, poultry and fish. Consumers may also not realize that when meat and vegetables are consumed together, the heme iron in meat actually helps the body absorb the non-heme in vegetables more readily. Iron deficiency is a serious matter. According to the
L
American Academy of Family Physicians, iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide. It can reduce the ability of adults to work at capacity, increase fatigue, and impact motor and mental development in children and adolescents. It affects 2 percent of all females 12 to 69. Question 3: What is the only natural source of vitamin B12, which keeps the body’s nervous system healthy? If you said cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower, you are in good—but mistaken—company with 20 percent of consumers. Only 12 percent correctly answered “animal products.” Animal products are, in fact, the only natural source of the important nutrient B12. Nutritionists recommend that adult men and women consume 2.4 micrograms of B12 per day. While some foods, such as cereals, are fortified with B12, animal products are rich in B12 naturally. For a complete, dietitianauthored brochure about the role that meat and poultry can play in your balanced diet, send a self-addressed, 4.5” x 6” envelope with 69 cents postage to American Meat Institute/Nutrition Bro chure, 1150 Connecticut Ave., NW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20036.

r. Chris DeNardo was reared in Wind Gap and graduated from Pen Argyl High School in 1980. There he played both football and basketball for the Green Knights. His grandfather worked in the Dally Slate Quarry. Chris’s father was a butcher at Blue Valley Meat Market. Chris started his cement career at Hercules Buzzi Unicem in 1981 at the age of 18. He recalls, “I was hired as a laborer and spent 10 years in the plant performing various jobs. I love equipment and was fortunate to be assigned to the Quarry.”
“I enjoy my job; time goes fast because we are constantly busy.

Two of his early mentors were Russ Powell and Fritz Engler. One of his supervisors was Danny Schlegel, a former fine student of this writer. The Quarry operates two shifts. A giant loader capable of lifting 25 tons feeds two 75 ton trucks. They move massive amounts of cement rock each day. Chris and the workers are multi-talented in the operation of all the quarry equipment. Mr. DeNardo states, “The geology of the Quarry and winter conditions are very challenging, but we stress safety and shutdowns are rare. I work with a great team of co-workers: Robert Raub, Bob Rebmann, David Souders, Dale Schreck, Ed Krutsick, Lloyd Pittenger, “Butch” Post Jr., Bruce Shorkey and supervisor, Guy Schwartz.” “I enjoy my job; time goes fast because we are constantly busy. Ten men efficiently man two quarry shifts.” Chris is proud of companion, Ms. Laura Lynch, daughter Mia, a Dunn & Bradstreet employee, and son Alex, a Penn State student. Mr. DeNardo has spent 23 years of his 33 years at the plant in the quarry working closely with a dedicated group of men. He brings his amiable personality and work ethic to the Stockertown Plant each day. In his spare time, you can find him on a local golf course. I wish Chris and all my friends at Buzzi-Unicem a safe and prosperous year and hope to return to honor two more workers next year.

“Just As I Am”
Charlotte Elliot, a beautiful young girl, was preparing herself for a great ball. Full of anticipation, she started out to her dressmaker. On the way, she met her pastor, an earnest, faithful man. He reasoned and pled with her to stay away from the ball and its degrading influences. Greatly vexed, she finally answered, “I wish you would mind your own business!” Charlotte, cheerful and vivacious, attended the ball – but her gaiety was forced, for thoughts of the pastor’s earnest entreaties kept passing through her mind. When she returned to her room, her conscience made her wretched. After three days of misery, she went to the minister. “For three days I have been the most wretched girl in the world,” she cried. “Now I want to be a Christian. What must I do?” “Just give yourself to the Lamb of God,” the pastor replied. “Come to Him just as you are!” “What! Just as I am?” Miss Elliot asked. “Do you know that I am one of the worst sinners in the world? How can God accept me just as I am?” Charlotte went to her room, knelt down and offered God her heart, guilty and vile as it was, to be cleansed. As she prayed, peace – full, overflowing – filled her soul. As she pondered the miracle that had transpired within her by the grace of the Lord Jesus, she had a keen desire to write down the feelings of her heart. She penned these lines: “Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me, and that Thou bidd’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come.” Other stanzas followed until the immortal hymn was finished. For over one hundred years, it has helped repentant sinners to find Christ. Jesus now invites you to come to Him just as you are. Believe His words, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).

News Sermonette Reverend Eric S. Ritz, Pastor Grace UMC
Responding To The Roadblocks Of Life
I have always drawn comfort and hope from the pages of sacred scripture of God’s servants who at times were perplexed and confused about God’s will for their lives. The great preacher Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick had a well-known sermon entitled “Handling Life’s Second Best.” Perhaps you know that reality in your life as well. We have an important life decision to make. So we read, we pray, we seek counsel. We put a great deal of effort and careful thought into the decision only to have a roadblock appear before us. The answer is ‘No.’ So we turn around and hit the road again. In all honesty there is tension between our human planning and divine guidance. In Proverbs 16:9 we learn “In his heart a man plans his course – but the Lord directs (determines) his steps.” One of the great saints of the church said, “Man proposes – God disposes.” Let us be honest. You and I don’t like roadblocks, interruptions, and closed doors. We don’t like life’s second best or choices. In the 21st century we describe wise persons as those who know how to calculate – measure time – and anticipate the proper response in every circumstance. The wise are those who live by clocks, calendars, computers, smart phones, and iPad. However, in sacred scripture God orders our steps. God is the source and beginning of wisdom. I once had the privilege to travel to Greece and follow in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and his traveling companions. However, sacred scripture reveals to us in Acts 16:1-10 that Paul had other plans. He wanted to travel in a different direction. He had a different MapQuest itinerary. However, Paul soon found road blocks and closed doors in front of him. The answer was ‘No.’ He was perplexed. There are some events and happenings in life that are locked away in the mysteries and purposes of God. Little did the Apostle Paul know that these detours brought Christianity to European soils for the first time. The Christian message of redemption, with his new itinerary, now moved from Asia Minor to another continent. I often wonder why we sing hymns like “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah” – then when God actually guides and intervenes – we get all shook up. When God says “No” – it doesn’t mean stop everything – pull the plug. It only means – like Wise Men – we go in a different direction. To this very day, I have never figured out how an inner city boy from Newark, New Jersey wound up attending a small Presbyterian College in Huron, South Dakota. In my sophomore year, I fell asleep in Social Psychology class on the shoulder of this quiet, shy – but beautiful – girl named Mary and the rest is history. It was my plan to serve the Lord as a secondary level history and political science teacher – and be involved in a church as a lay person. To my knowledge, my heart was right, my motives and intentions good. However, God changed my itinerary and reordered my steps. As you read this article I don’t know where you are perplexed and confused about God’s direction for your life and journey of faith. I don’t know what roadblocks and closed doors are causing you to scratch your head. I can counsel you, however, not to scratch your life and dream. When God closes a door – it is because he is calling us to another door and place. I am also grateful that the Book of Jonah and Psalm 139 counsel us that there is no road I can ever travel to escape his love and grace. The cross teaches me there is no road beyond his redemption. In one of his writings, C. S. Lewis shares from his own life experience that God can take all the wrong roads we take – and still get us to the right place. So be patient. Push on. Wait on the Lord. The doors will open – and the roadblocks will disappear in God’s good time. Happy Traveling.

The Scoop on Pets
In 2004, an eight week old female
Pit Bull puppy with a broken leg was surrendered to a local Veterinarian. Sonya Mora adopted this puppy, and named her Kanga. Kanga was instrumental in teaching Sonya about the Pit Bull breed, and made her fall in love with them. Kanga changed her life and fueled her passion for Pit Bulls. In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, she took ten homeless, needy dogs from the south and found them homes. Sonya continued doing private adoption for four or five years. In 2011, Sunrays Pit Bull Rescue received their 501C3, non-profit status. Today, Sunrays, based in Northampton, PA, rescues about 50 Pit Bulls per year, using their network of foster homes. They have 30 regular volunteers, five board members, and Sonya remains as the President. Typically, unlike many other rescues, Sunrays does not take owner surrenders. They pull dogs from local animal shelters and strays from municipalities in the Lehigh Valley area. They concentrate on homeless and needy Pit Bulls in the shelter system. Sunrays receives five to ten calls a day from people wanting to “get rid of” their dogs. Sonya feels that several things are important to being a responsible Pit Bull owner: • Proper socialization at a young age • Positive-Reinforcement training • Lots of exercise: Physical and Mental • Being a role model for other Pit Bull owners If you would like to help Sunrays Pit Bull Rescue help these wonderful dogs, here is a list of what they need: • Foster homes are the biggest need. Without foster homes, the dogs cannot be pulled from shelters. • Dog food • Supplies such as Frontline, bowls, durable toys • Training: You can volunteer to take a foster dog to local training sessions. • Monetary donations via PayPal on their website www.sunrayspitbulls.org If you would like to learn more about the breed, Sonya recommends the website www.realpitbull.com. Sunrays is “Fighting to Ban Ignorance and Fear Through Education Of the Breed”. It is an honorable mission that can only be achieved through community involvement and support. If you would like to volunteer or donate to Sunrays, they can be reached as follows:

Top 10 Practical Ways to Reduce Plastic Use at Home
Submitted by LIZ BURKE There are areas of concern involving the use of plastics and an increased risk for children, say certain sources. According to WebMD, some studies suggest that possible effects from BPA (Bisphenol A), a common chemical in plastics, could be most pronounced in infants and young children. “Their bodies are still developing and they are less efficient at eliminating substances from their systems.” Also, the FDA reports that PVC plastic can be a toxic exposure risk via
DEHP, a softener that is released from PVC as it degrades. As part of its Toxic Free Kids initiative, the Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation (CCRF) says regulating plastic use in the home is a step towards making homes and families toxin-free. Fortunately, there are many ways to dramatically reduce overall plastic use, and by switching over to safer, more environmentally-friendly plastics, families can reap health and environmental benefits.

Here are the top 10 steps you can take to reduce the amount of plastic in your home: 1. Wooden & Cloth Toys Handmade wooden toys are great for your kids; their use supports small businesses, and the toys themselves are often unique. Further, they will usually last much longer than equivalent plastic toys. Some great retailers of quality wooden toys are The Wooden Horse and Melissa and Doug. Cloth toys will last for years and may become treasured heirlooms. 2. Cloth Shopping Bags Easily available from most retailers. Not only is cloth a good material for shopping bags; it's good for laundry bags, backpacks, and other toting gear and can be used to replace usual nylon containers. 3. Metal Water Bottles Use a cloth strap and holder for times when you’re jogging. They also keep water cooler for a longer period of time. 4. Buy in Bulk - If you can make the trip to Costco, buy as much of your goods in bulk as you can. Doing this reduces overall plastic use; the less packaging there is, the less plastic is consumed. 5. Cloth Lunch Bags – While an unusual item for you and your kids, several retailers on Etsy let you personalize your lunch bag with a PDF image, so you can look cool while staying toxin-free. 6. Use Bar Soap - Bar soaps are usually wrapped in paper, while body washes are stored in plastic bottles. If you like to use a body wash, use a glass bottle dispenser instead. 7. Use Laundry powder - Plastic bottles used for laundry detergent fill up landfills. Instead, measure your laundry detergent with

a scoop or glass measuring cup. 8. Don’t use plastic straws - Instead, your family should look into products such as paper and steel sippy cups and straws. Glass Dharma offers its own unique glass drinking straw. 9. Ceramic dishes – They can be found at most major retailers and are a great, sturdy alternative to most plastic flatware.
