Allen Tp. Supervisors delay Action on house numbers By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Last month the Allen Township Board of Supervisors spent quite a bit of time debating how and if they would require residents to place reflective numbers in the front of their homes that would help in case of fire or medical emergency. It was not on the agenda this past Thursday. Instead, Board Vice Chairman Bruce Frack said they need to “dot the i’s and cross the t’s” before they bring it up again at their next meeting. That would be on August 27, and if not then, action could come in September on the 12th. They had previously discussed the size of the num-
bers, either three or four inches in height, where the numbers would be placed if mail boxes are across the road from homes, and how to number when there are multiple residences at one location. Without that debate, Thursday’s meeting was relatively routine. The supervisors did decide to place four stop signs at Willow Ridge intersections. Authorization was given to advertise a draft amendment to natural area design standards in the subdivision and land development ordinance. Township Manager Ilene Eckhart also noted that peoContinued on page 8
D&L, National Canal Museum become one
The Board of Directors of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) and National Canal Museum (NCM) signed a formal alliance agreement at a canal-side ceremony in Hugh Moore Park on August 8. The alliance between the two non-profit organizations combines the D&L’s historic, cultural, educational, and recreational programs with the NCM’s nationally-significant archives, artifacts, publications, and canal museum. “Our alliance is unique,” said D&L president, Elissa Garofalo.”We’re combining the D&L’s efforts to connect, revitalize and preserve important aspects of our communities with the museum’s ability to interpret the age
of canals and early industrialism in the United States, a part of American history that has been the D&L’s focus since we were created by Congress in 1988.” Tom Stoneback, D&L vice president for special projects, noted that the alliance links “the federal power of a congressionally-mandated National Park Service program with the story telling prowess of a Smithsonian-affiliated museum.” “The Smithsonian calls our effort ‘inspirational,’ the National Park Service says it is ‘very impressive,’ and the American Alliance of Museums calls us ‘ahead of our time’“ Stoneback said.

Moore Township to celebrate 250th anniversary in 2015 By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
At their August 6 meeting, the Moore Township Board of Supervisors voted to advertise an ordinance, which will establish a Moore Township Historical Commission of seven members. They will begin planning the township’s 250th anniversary celebration for August 29 and 30, 2015. A focal point of the anniversary is the former Edelman one-room school. Developer David Jaindl has agreed to convey it over to the township. At last Tuesday’s meeting it was noted that Charmaine Bartholomew has benches and the original stove from the school. The
walls are in good shape and the blackboard is still there. Chairman David Tashner said work will be done to restore the school to how it looked in a bygone era. Also to be re-constructed is the two-seater outhouse. Part of the celebration will include a class reunion. Other Business • The supervisors awarded a bid of $72,600 from AMF of Center Valley for tar and chip projects along, North and South Penn-Dixie Road that will include storm sewer pipe replacements. • Robert Hritzko of Orefield was hired as a part-time police officer, and routinely will be on probation for 2,080 hours.
• It was noted that residents are pleased with how the mulch and compost program is working. The township is making spot checks on weekends, so that only residents are allowed to bring in or take out materials. IdentiContinued on page 8
Personnel changes as schools Are set to resume
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
There were seven resignations, but a much larger number of hires on Monday as the Northampton Area School Board met on Monday night. A new school year is fast approaching. Before action was taken on that, however, there were two presentations – one listing a new website for the school
district by Kurt Paccio and secondary campus arrival/ dismissal procedures as outlined by Schools Supt. Joseph Kovalchik. The resignations included the following: Matthew Decembrino as social studies teacher and team leader; Janet Grantz, library instructional assistant who is retiring; Donna Mack, instructional assistant, who is
also retiring; Linda Siekonic, as special education instructional assistant; Sally Whittaker-Kahan as head softball coach; Nathan Strohl, long-term substitute German teacher; and Damien Cicwicz, security guard. In addition, Dr. Alex Feig resigned as school dental consultant after more than 30 years of service to the district. Continued on page 17

Families Fight Heat with ‘Summer Safety Kits’ for Seniors The elderly often ignore heat warnings and need extra protection. With 10 states reporting record high temperatures this summer, the National Weather Service warns hot temps and high humidity will continue to create danger that causes heat illnesses – especially for the elderly. Even if temps drop a bit in our area, experts warn the elderly often do not take proper precautions to stay cool and hydrated. • 40% of heat related deaths are among people over the age of 65. • A study out of Kent State University shows most respondents over age 65 thought the heat warnings for seniors did not apply to them and were targeted to “older Americans.” That’s why Visiting Angels, one of the nation’s largest in-home senior care companies, with an office in our area, advises families to protect their aging relatives by assembling Senior Summer Safety Kits.
These kits include vital, yet, inexpensive tools to make sure elderly loved ones have the protection they need to stay safe during hot summer days – especially when family members are not around. “Seniors often don’t realize their bodies can’t handle heat like they used to so they fail to take extra precautions. That’s why it’s so important to have resources available right within reach,” says Visiting Angels CEO, Larry Meigs. “Seniors can get dry because their body water content decreases and medications can dehydrate them. Take the time to prepare a Senior Summer Safety Kit. If you can’t be with your elderly loved one, hire a caregiver to make sure your senior hydrates, applies sunscreen and stays active and engaged indoors.” What’s in the ‘Senior Summer Safety Kit?’ – (contents optional) • Reusable water bottle to maintain hydration • Copies of all prescriptions
and health insurance cards • Phone numbers of health care providers and information concerning chronic health problems • Broad spectrum sunscreen, at least SPF 30, to prevent serious burns • Snap Towels that activate with water and have a cooling effect when applied to the skin • Misting fans that require no electricity in case of a power outage • An ID bracelet with personal information and emergency contact numbers • A pre-paid cell phone for seniors to use in an emergency The Senior Summer Safety Kit can be easily purchased and assembled for $25 - $50 in less than 15 minutes. How Visiting Angels “Summer Safety Caregivers” Help Seniors Visiting Angels caregivers come to the home to help with chores like cooking or yard work which can be strenuous in the heat.

enough clean, lightweight loose clothes to stay cool. • Drink up! – Caregivers remind seniors to drink water throughout the course of the day, even if they’re not particularly thirsty (eight, 8oz. glasses at least). As adults continue to age, the amount of water retained by the body decreases substantially. Caregivers fill water bottles and keep coolers well stocked. They can even make “mock tails” - drinks the senior enjoys like lemonade or fruit juice mixtures – which do not include caffeine or alcohol. • Stay cool – Caregivers close blinds and curtains keeping the house cool, even in triple digit temperatures.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip We’re halfway through the month of August, so summer is really moving on. It has been pretty good. We had our share of rain, but lots of sun, too, so the vacationers could really enjoy themselves, whether it was down at the shore or up in the mountains. Moms have been buying new clothes for the young’uns ‘cause before you know it they’ll be back in school in a grade higher than last year. Whether they know it or not, this is the best time of their lives. . . . The weather was great for the Northampton County 4-H Fair up in Bushkill Township. Farm animals, work by the 4-H youngsters, and even a horse show were part of it. I liked their chicken barbecue, too. . . . The state highway crews have been busy, painting double yellow lines to keep cars from passing, and white lines along the edge of roads where shoulders were blacktopped. Still some more work to do, but they’re making headway. . . . It was fun watching the Phillies win the other night against the Atlanta Braves. Hamels pitched great and a new kid on the block slammed a home run for the Phillies. The 1000th win for Charlie Manuel, too. The team isn’t going anywhere this season, but games like that will make fans feel better. . . .And over in the A.L., it was something to see the top closer of all time blow three games in a row, but those Yankees still won a pair from Detroit. . . .

Pennsylvania Strictly Enforces State’s Dog Law By George Greig
Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture
With a mandate from Gov. Corbett, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is cracking down on illegal dog kennels across the state. The department’s Dog Law Enforcement Office is aggressively enforcing one of the toughest dog laws in the nation. This year alone, dog war-
August 15-21, 2013 3
dens - equipped with advanced law enforcement training- have conducted 2,439 inspections of the state’s 2,170 kennels and have issued 2,343 citations. The state dog law, which was written with input from animal advocates, has established strict guidelines for the operation of commercial kennels. The law, diligent enforcement and inspections are working. Unscrupulous commercial kennel operators have been shut down. We have gone from more than 300 commercial kennels a few years ago to only 55 today. The Dog Law Enforcement office remains vigilant in enforcing, protecting and prosecuting violators to the fullest extent of the law. The Department of Agriculture relies on the sale of dog licenses to keep the dog enforcement office solvent and your dogs safe. We need your help. Please license your dogs annually.

Grow Ur Biz - Ping Pong By CAROL RITTER
PING PONG. I spent way too much time there with the employees trying to avoid helping me. Has this ever happened in your BIZ? I interrupted the guy’s computer work, then I interrupted the receptionist’s quest to find her mid morning snack and the person who runs the garage was missing in action. This group of employees wore uniforms clearly identifying them, they are in a competitive business and they did everything to avoid helping me. The moral of the story is; make sure your employees are trained on how to handle customers with questions. Teach them to get up once in a while and greet the customer instead of sitting there. And, set the company culture right from the start, customers first, snacks, computers and breaks second. It’s a competitive world out there, especially if you have perfected the spin serve in your game of PING PONG!

Klein Farms Dairy and Creamery has extravaganza Nazareth Business Council of The Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber hosted the first annual Klein Farm’s Family Extravaganza at the Klein Farms Dairy and Creamery. The farm, located in Forks Township, has been in business since 1935. The farm is run by Layne and Beth Klein, third generation farmers on the current property. The farm has gone through many structural changes over the years, but one thing remains the same...quality animals and a quality product. Klein Farms is now pleased to offer gourmet cheese, raw milk, eggs and farm raised beef. In November of 2004, Layne and Beth decided to make cheese with their excess milk. With the help of some internet sites, they acquired some kits to make some soft and hard cheeses in the kitchen from their fresh raw milk. The cheese was a hit and the whole idea developed from there. A “henhouse” was renovated the first half of 2004, and then equipped with processing equipment. A raw milk permit and milk processing license obtained from the state of Pa., allowed the Klein's to open their own retail store on the property in October of 2004. The Klein's sell their own natural, raw milk, fresh brown eggs, and beef from their own steers.
Klein' Farms are the only cow's milk farmstead cheese operation in a five county region. The Kleins host many events at their farm. Layne, Beth and Amanda Klein welcomed over 75 guests to the event on August 6th. One guest declared, “What a beautiful farm.” Amanda Klein led farm tours every half hour teaching Nazareth & Forks families about farm life, how cheese is made and the special events that happen on the farm each year.

As a kid, I used to love the game of ping pong. A fun, silly, sometimes very competitive game, it was inexpensive, too. You didn’t need equipment, shin guards, face mask or even a monogramed t-shirt. You just needed to know someone who had a table and was willing to host some fun. I remember learning “the spin serve” a unique serve where you spun the ball before serving to throw off your competition. I’ve witnessed ping pong of another nature just recently. Yesterday, I left an envelope in my car that was being repaired because of an accident. I arrived at the dealership and noticed my car ripped apart and being repaired.

Winery joined us as a sponsor along with Nazareth’s own children’s author, Cynthia DeLuca. Cynthia held a book signing for “Little Ashley Pickle” and announced her new book, “Little Ashley Pickle goes to the Farm” will be released in two weeks. The highlight of the evening was when the guests were invited to visit the baby cow nursery. In addtion to the milking barn, the nursery, the cheese cooler and the store, the farm has a petting zoo and a playground. New at the farm is the goat mountain which is under construction and should be completed in 2013 for the baby goats. The farm store is currently selling mozarella cheese, a variety of raw milk aged cheeses, various herb cheese spreads, ricotta, beef, eggs and raw milk. The creamery is now making FRESH YOGURT and SMOOgurt, offered in plain (no addititives - just the culture), and in maple, maple/vanilla, and honey flavorings. Drinkable SMOOgurt flavors include vanilla maple, strawberry, blueberry, chocolate, coffee, pineapple orange, peach and eggnog (seasonally). The vegetable farm also runs a CSA (Community Sustainable Agriculture) off the property. Full shares and half shares of this worthwhile investment program are available for the growing season.

Comment On Sports By Pete Fritchie
BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷
Penalties ordered by Major League baseball on PED users were justified and--many think--long overdue. The main positive is not whether the penalties stop the cheaters but whether they’ll prevent other players from using illegal drugs as stimulants. The most prominent case in penalties for a dozen or more players is the case of Alex Rodriguez. As this is writ-
ten, many believe Rodriguez will be banned from Major League baseball. Whether this happens may be known by the time you read this. But a comment about lifetime bans in a sport is in order whatever Rodriguez’s punishment. Since drug use penalties have not been actively and widely used in the past, one would think a second penalty would not be lifetime. There can be other considerations that might justify a lifetime ban but not as a second penalty. It would seem more justified after a serious warning and first penalty. And Alex Rodriguez’s first penalty was admitting he used performance enhancing drugs--no tests were don

A big concern for him this summer is the Heat Acclimation Policy for football’s two-a-day practices. This new policy forces teams to have shorter practices the week before double sessions get underway to reduce the risk of heat exhaustion. There has always been the debate in high school sports about public schools vs. private schools. People question the parity of the level of completion, they question the possibility of recruiting tactics and they question if they should ever play against one another at all.

conference” that would leave out both Allentown Central Catholic and Bethlehem Catholic. Lombardi wished to not comment on the possible merger between the LVC and the MVC, but he did dish out some insight on the private vs. public school battle. “There have been no talks on the executive level to separate private and public schools,” he stated. “In 1972, an act of the legislature added private schools to the PIAA and I don’t see how separating schools out would make our organization better. Neither the Board of Directors nor the staff supports that idea.” Lombardi also offered some strong advice to the recruiting accusers. “If there are people out there that have information about the possibility of any kind of recruiting, they need to bring it forward to a local committee and have a hearing,” he said. “If they are not willing to address it and bring up facts, figures and testimony there is nothing we can do. We don’t want rumors or innuendos.” There is now another big Performance Enhancing Drug scandal in the sporting world in Major League Baseball with Biogenesis and Alex Rodriguez. PEDs have hampered nearly every professional sport across the globe, but has it crept into high school locker rooms? “I think it has reared its ugly head,” Lombard admitted. “Some of our schools already have mandatory drug testing. I know the school district in which I live has a program in place. I rely on those in leadership positions to show the right way. I know what is going on in other leagues, but what we have are impressionable teens. We need athletic directors and coaches to show the right way to those teens. I don’t think it is a bad situation yet.” According to the PIAA bylaws, it is up to the district’s school board to enforce drug policies, but in my experience I don’t see any enforcement being done. Lombardi insisted that he trusts the leaders, but I feel that it is just a road less traveled. Behind football, basketball is arguably the second most-followed varsity sport. In some states, it is more competitive than it is here in Pennsylvania. Some states use a shot clock during game play, but Lombardi doesn’t see that being implemented in our neighborhood. “There are only a few states that have a shot clock,” Lombardi said. “In our state, with school budgets being cut
www.HomeNewsPA.com back, it’d be tough [to put in a shot clock]. We would need to put in equipment and also train individuals to operate that equipment so that it doesn’t affect the games and I don’t think we are there yet. So at this time, I’d have to say that the answer is, not yet.” Back on December 29, 1913, a group of high school principals just wanted to regulate, protect and create an equal playing field for interscholastic athletics. Almost a century later, the PIAA has reached new heights and is climbing even higher. Some may agree it is climbing up some of the wrong trees, but no matter what your opinion is, Lombardi says that he is always willing to tell the PIAA’s story.

Klecknersville Ambulance Now has paid daytime crew On July 1 the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. started a paid daytime ambulance crew for the first time. According to Ambulance Captain Dennis Campbell, the crew consists of two paid EMT’s who are on duty between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., seven days a week. The remainder of the hours are staffed by volunteers. The paid day staff responded to 37 calls; the volunteer staff responded to 29 calls, and a combined volunteer/ paid staff responded to one call during the past month. They missed one call during July, which was mutual aid. Campbell said it was a very successful month for ambulance response to 911 dispatched calls. The fire company decided to hire a daytime staff due to most of the volunteers working during the day. They believed it would be the best way to provide Moore Township residents with the best possible ambulance service.
The Klecknersville Rangers Ambulance Corps has mutual aid agreements with Bath and Bethlehem Township in case they are on another call or are not available. Campbell said they are dispatched simultaneously if the Klecknersville ambulance is unavailable to make sure an ambulance will respond to the 911 emergency as quickly as possible. The Bethlehem Township ambulance is dispatched automatically for all ALS calls and will always respond immediately, Campbell said. He concluded, “We will continue to strive for excellence in the ambulance response to all 911 emergencies in Moore Township and assure the residents that they will receive prompt ambulance service.”

Many think that the only benefit of clouds is the moisture they collect, which falls to earth when it reaches the saturation point in the form of rain. But clouds have other benefits. One of the major products of clouds is to form air currents. The top of clouds reflect sunlight and to the sides of clouds where the sun reaches the earth there is a warming which doesn’t take place on shaded areas of earth. This causes air currents laterally as well as vertically and some rising warm air from the heated earth under clouds where the temperature is cooler. Above the clouds reflected sunlight produces vertical wind currents. Clouds also often are a Godsend in desert areas, where temperatures can reach 130 or 140 degrees. On many days only clouds can lower surface heat. More activity is possible under a cloudy desert sky.

Cut the Salt for Healthier Eating (NewsUSA) - "Lose the salt shaker, and you'll improve your health," said David H. Stone, MD, a member of the Society for Vascular Surgery. "Adding table salt (sodium chloride) to your food increases your overall salt intake, especially when eating out or when consuming ready-to-eat foods. When it comes to salt, less is more." As a vascular surgeon, Dr.
Stone knows that increased salt intake can contribute to high blood pressure. Also known as hypertension, the condition can lead to a stroke or heart attack. Hypertension is defined as blood pressure that is measured at more than 140 / 90. High blood pressure affects 74.5 million or one-third of American adults, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and

the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' "Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010."

For at-risk Americans -- which includes about half the U.S. population (African Americans, people over age 51, people with high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease) -- the daily salt recommendation is 1,500 milligrams or less. As vascular conditions, stroke and heart attack are among the leading causes of death in American adults. On average, American adults consume 3,266 milligrams of salt daily according to a 2012 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report.

News Sermonette
By the Rev. Barry Mitchell
Thoughts On The Wonder of God’s Forgiveness
“In the 19th century there was a whole genre of ‘Wild West’ stories. One of them was about an old cattle rancher who discovered that a young cowhand had been caught in the act of rustling a cow. When the thief was dragged before the rancher, he looked down at the frightened youth and said, ‘Hang him. Nothing personal, son. I like you a lot, you understand. But we have rules here in the West. Besides, it will teach you a lesson.’ One day, the old rancher died and appeared before the judgment seat of God. As he stood there, he remembered all the mean, horrible things he had done on Earth. He particularly recalled hanging that young cowboy he liked so much -- and he trembled in his boots. Whereupon, the Lord God of heaven looked down upon him in mercy and tenderness and said, ‘Forgive him. It will teach him a lesson.’” I suspect that some of the greatest joy and wildest surprise for all of us will occur on the day we meet God face to face. All of us have done things we regret and have trouble forgetting. These things can dwell with us and cause many to fear that day when we come to final judgment. But God’s Word speaks a different message. In Jeremiah, God speaks of the new covenant. From Jeremiah 31: “The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt--a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the LORD,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.” Can you call to mind the words of Holy Communion? “This is the new covenant in my blood” - Jesus declares that the new covenant comes to reality in his blood. God’s promise says that God will not remember our sins. When we share in communion, the slate is wiped clean. The “big black book” that many of us were taught to fear is in fact, empty. This does not mean that we should take our sinfulness lightly. There are times when we have hurt others and should make the effort to make things right. Without question, we all could learn to practice forgiveness more. But we need not take these to the grave with us. As we pass from life into life, there will be great joy, and quite possibly, wondrous surprise! Reprinted from The Home News April 30, 2009

He firmly orphanages, to feed educate thousands thousands of children. He firmly believed Christ’s promise: “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that believed Christ’s promise: “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask will do, that the Father may in the Son. If ye ask any Ithing in my name, I will dobe it” glorified (John 14:13-14). In faith he shall daily took any thingofinthe myorphans name, Itowill it” (John 14:13-14). In faith daily took the care thedo Lord in prayer and God neverhefailed—the the care of the orphans the Lord in prayer and God never failed—the children never missed to a meal.

3 Tips for a Sparkling Party from Top Chef's Gail Simmons (NAPSI)—When the party is at your place, impress guests with a winning dish and this expert cheat-sheet from author and "Top Chef" judge, Gail Simmons. Chill out before the party: Cook more food than you think you need. That way, you'll be prepared if more people show up—and you can always eat the leftovers. Prepare a few chilled side dishes ahead of time so you can focus on mingling instead of the oven. Put your best food forward: The easiest recipes pop with unexpected, gourmet presentations.

Drizzle bright sauces on sparkling white plates or layer desserts in crystal-clean glassware. Check out my easy Bumbleberry Pie Sundae recipe below. When served in individual cocktail glasses, it looks and tastes great. My secret weapon: If you’re too tired to tackle the dishes after the party, or do not have a full, weeknight load, dirty dishes can wait until morning if you use Cascade Platinum. Not only does it scrub away 24-hour stuck-on food without pre-rinsing, but it also prevents unappetizing residue on dishes and filming on machines.

What’s for Dinner? (NewsUSA) - The rigors of appearing on the reality TV show The Biggest Loser led Lisa Mosley to the emotional breakthrough that empowered her to lose almost 100 pounds. But it was portion control that kept her losing weight when she returned home from the set. "I live on the motto "Moderation not deprivation," she says. "As soon as I got home from the ranch, I started using a small plate instead of big dinner plates. It has been extremely successful for me." Mosley didn't start gaining weight until she was about 20, when she began taking medication for a chronic anxiety disorder. The medication made her feel like a new person, but within six
months she began to gain weight. Over the next 10 years she gained about 120 pounds. By 2010, Lisa had suffered several personal setbacks. She had been laid off from her job, had lost her home and had no prospects to find work. The defining moment in her struggle to lose weight came when she discovered that her daughter had stopped eating and drinking because she didn't want to be heavy like her mom. That spurred Lisa to take action, including her willingness to bare her soul on The Biggest Loser. When Lisa left the show, she had dropped 60 pounds. But she continued to lose weight, dropping another 37 pounds at home after she learned to con-
trol the size of her portions. She recently became the national spokeswoman for Yum Yum Dishes, sets of handpainted 4-ounce ceramic bowls. Tracy Adler, mother of two and former restaurant owner, created the bowls to help parents and kids control the size of their snacks. "The idea for these dishes is what got me through this," Mosley says. "A lot of times when I have entered into diets in the past, I went into it thinking I am never going to get a cookie, ice cream, or a piece of cake again. I was never successful with that," she adds. "These dishes remind you that your life isn't over and you are not going to be missing out." Today Mosley works as a fitness boot camp instructor and personal trainer. She weighs about 190 pounds, wears a size 12 and is happy with herself. "I am literally a different person," she says, "not just in how I feel physically but also how I feel mentally and emotionally." For more information, visit www.yumyumdishes.com.

D&L, Canal Continued from page 1
Established by Congress 25 years ago, the D&L is comprised of five eastern Pennsylvania counties where historic transportation systems
– the Lehigh and Delaware canals, the Lehigh Valley and other railroads – carried anthracite coal from Carbon and Luzerne County coal mines to industries and commercial markets in Northampton, Lehigh and Bucks counties and beyond. The D&L has focused on building the 165-mile D&L Trail, which will connect Bristol in Bucks County to Wilkes-Barre in Luzerne County. Now 82 per cent complete, the trail creates a public access corridor that connects major cities, towns and townships from the anthracite coal fields of the western Poconos to a historic river port near Philadelphia. The trail is open year-round to recreational users and is the site of organized walking, running and bicycling events. As an economic engine, the D&L Trail generates 3,300 jobs and $240 million in annual commercial, municipal and state revenues. D&L Board Chairman Nick Forte acknowledged the additional work to be done on the trail, but made a point of the many opportunities brought by the alliance. "It allows us to expand toward telling and celebrating the stories of our heritage," Forte said, "when the Corridor was a recognized leader in American industry." The National Canal Museum’s mission is to conserve the hundreds of thousands of artifacts and archival records that tell the story of America's Industrial Revolution, which generated enormous growth in the Heritage Corridor in the mid-1800s. The Corridor was the world’s center of iron production thanks to systematic development of canal and rail transportation. The region made outstanding contributions to America’s social and industrial growth, particularly from 1817-1930. The National Canal Museum is a significant repository for stories and documents pertaining to the period’s coal, coke, steel, rail, cement and textile industries. “Together with the Heritage Corridor, we will be able to better tell this inspiring

story of local leadership and celebrate our role in building America,” said Canal Museum chairman Peter Marmaras. “In our classrooms, on main streets and in communities throughout the Corridor, the timing is perfect for this union." The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor is a 501c3 non-profit organization that enriches communities within the Heritage Corridor through actions and partnerships that conserve the resources, preserve the history, and enhance the quality of life for residents. Hugh Moore Historical Park and Museum is a 501 c3 nonprofit, Smithsonian-affiliated organization located near the confluence of the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and canals.

ing to movies, the mall or the library to keep seniors active inside to avoid spending time outside during the most dangerous hours of the day. • Eat plenty, but eat light – Caregivers prepare light food because heavy foods, like meat and cheese, tend to make the body work harder to digest, using more water and generating more body heat. • Help With ‘Late Sundown Syndrome’ (periods of agitation in the evening for seniors with dementia) - Caregivers help by keeping seniors active in the day so they’re tired-out at night and can go to sleep with no problem. Caregivers also keep seniors on steady nap and bedtime schedules so their bodies get used to the routine. • Follow new sunscreen guidelines – Caregivers are well versed on the FDA’s newly released guidelines

about sun protection. Seniors are more prone to sunburn because their bodies have less water. Caregivers educate seniors about these new regulations such as there’s no such thing as “sweat proof” or “water proof” sunscreen. Or, that you must re-apply sunscreen every two hours for it to work effectively.
Copies of health care information – In case of emergency, caregivers have copies of seniors’ prescriptions, health insurance card, and phone numbers of health care providers. We can provide photos of a Senior Summer Safety Kit (available upon request) and/or interviews with caregivers making the kits and working with seniors to keep them happy, healthy and safe this summer.

“How Do You Like Them Apples?”
Hey, ! Ow! marts that s Have you heard about a man named Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727)? He lived in England. He was one of the world’s greatest mathematicians. One day when he was wandering in a garden thinking, he watched an apple fall from a tree (some stories say that he was hit in the head by a falling apple.) This action made him think about “gravity” or the force with which the earth pulls things toward its center. If you throw a ball into the air, gravity is what causes it to fall back down to you. Gravity gives us weight on the earth. It is the force that keeps the planets in our solar system on their paths.

Go “Back In The Day” at Bath Farmers Market this Friday By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News
As summer begins to wind down, local farmers are harvesting the fruits of late summer crops including tomatoes, peppers, peaches and many others. The Bath Farmers Market is fully stocked each week with some of the tastiest in our area. Each week, local farmers and producers come out to Keystone Park offering their bounty to the community at low prices. The produce, meats and goods offered are all locally produced and grown, ensuring our local economy and protecting the environment. This Friday, the theme at the market will take you "Back in the Day" to celebrate life as it once was. Visitors are encouraged to come early and stay for the festivities, including live food demos, music and much more. This week will feature live music by George Baier at the Gazebo. Wildtree herbs will also be on hand as this week’s featured business. And don't miss local author Carol BearHeckman who will be on hand signing her book "Bath and Itws Neighbors." A limited number of books will also be available for purchase at the market. The Bath Farmers Market is more than local produce with vendors each bringing knowledge and uniqueness to their stands. Vendors are the farmers, producers and growers. Bring your questions and enthusiasm, they will surely engage you and educate you on where your food is coming from! Jan Graver, Graver Farmstead brings a fresh recipe each week that allows shoppers to use their produce in a new and interesting way.
Be sure to stop by her tent for recipe ideas this week. The Bath Farmers Market runs 3-7 p.m. every Friday through October at Keystone Park with free parking offered at the lot alongside of the American Legion (please
