County Purchases Land in Stockertown To link trails Submitted by
BECKY BARTLETT Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure will bolster the development of Northampton County’s regional trail system by signing an Agreement of Sale with Norfolk Southern Railway Company to purchase approximately 1.4 acres in Plainfield Township. The property, owned by Norfolk Southern, is a major connector piece, part of the Two Rivers Area Trail Gap 9A and the September 11 National Memorial Trail. The connection will link the Stockertown Rail Trail and Plainfield Township Recreation Trail together, while simultaneously providing a connection to Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center. The former railroad right of way is located between Sullivan Trail and Route 33 North in Plainfield Township. It is identified as Trail Gap #9 in the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission’s Lehigh Valley Trails Inventory. The closure of this trail gap is a top priority in the Pennsylvania’s Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2014-2019 and the Livable Landscapes – An Open Space Plan for Northampton County. This acquisition supports goals of the Commonwealth’s Lehigh Valley Greenways Conservation Landscape, to connect people to greenway and trail opportunities to promote healthy living, recreation, and the region’s green assets. “Connecting our communities throughout the County through our trails benefits our quality of life, this acquisition will bolster those opportunities,” said Bryan Cope, Superintendent of Parks & Recreation. “Northampton County is one of the largest hubs of 100+ mile trails in Eastern Pennsylvania, with five of these trail systems already present.” THE LINK is an interconnected network of safe, beautiful

I was recently at a non-profit meeting and a guest walked in about three minutes late. The leader/president didn’t even acknowledge them or introduce them. “Volunteer lost alert;” she will never come back, for sure. I believe most volunteers come to the table with good intentions.

They want to help but what they need more than anything is a leader who spends time with them, mentors them, teaches them and recognizes their value.

why volunteers stay; they know what’s going on and what is expected of them. If you want to recruit and retain volunteers here are 10 ideas: 1. Work on it all year long, treat everyone as a guest in your home. 2. Change your mind - not everyone will volunteer, learn how to identify a future volunteer 3. Be mindful of their gifts and skills, don’t ask someone to raise money who is uncomfortable with that task. 4. Always be flexible- all plans are soft, be ready with a solution. 5. Become a follow-up genius,
nudge, remind, and touch base with your volunteers. 6. Offer incentives - all volunteers can be entered to win dinner for two at the end of the year. 7. Create a fun atmosphere people are attracted to positive experiences. 8. Be willing to fire a bad volunteer, someone who is not a team player or someone who creates havoc within the troops. 9. Spread the word, you and other volunteers can create a word of mouth epidemic where the reputation of your organization glows. 10. Make appreciation a top
priority. I’ve always believed that complaining should be against the law if it doesn’t come along with a solution. The solution for getting and keeping a great human being is that the leader takes total responsibly for this task and, at the end of the day, they take care of their people. The president takes care of their board members, they spend more time on people than they do on paper. A committee chair takes care of their people, a team leader takes care of their people. If all of this happens you will more than likely have too many volunteers for your first project.

A day Bath old-timers will never forget was the flood of 1945. July 9, 1945 was one of the biggest storms the borough has ever encountered. There were high winds, hail, torrential rain; six inches fell, overflowing the Monocacy Creek. The first floors of both the Bath Hotel and the Slate Exchange Hotel were filled with water. In the Seem apartment, a resident was evacuated by a stretcher and the Spengler Barbershop was pushed off its foundation. The cleanup was intense. Twenty-five German prisoners of war from the Tobyhanna Army Barracks were brought in to Bath to aid in the cleanup. To their shock and surprise, some Pennsylvania Dutchmen in Bath were able to converse with them. This writer and my friend Larry Oberly have attempted to give

a brief look back at a community with over 200 years of history. We do not compare to Asa McIlhaney, who penned Bath’s first history from 1728-1901. Asa taught school for over 50 years; he was both a school board president and writer. Bath has faced
many problems during its history, but it has been sustained by its citizens, volunteers, historical society, churches, schools, fire department, American Legion, fraternal organizations and a government dedicated to keeping Bath a friendly community.

have made a move he didn’t like. As my hand came near he said, “I wouldn’t recommend that.” Long story short, I came pretty close to shocking myself in a manner that wasn’t going to end well for me. I accepted his professional advice and authority and backed away. I laughed to myself that four simple words spoken in a very mild manner changed my afternoon for the better. I wonder how often he says that exact same line. Probably often. In the office I obviously see many health related conditions. In doing my best to help alleviate whichever situation presents, by and large some do’s and don’ts need to be communicated. In doing so I invariably await what the person in front of me will say in response. While it’s always different, the person in question will ask if they can do this or that or something of that nature. After all these years I have realized that if a person has to ask me, they already probably know they shouldn’t be doing it, whatever it is. Now I don’t mean essentials of everyday living. I mean things like, “Can I go on the trampoline?” “Am I able to go to Zumba tonight?” “Can I go for a run?” “Do you think it’s a good idea to scrub the floors, jump rope, play tennis, rugby, go horseback riding, play twister?” and a million other things that we all know clearly isn’t a very good idea. My reply? “I wouldn’t recommend that…..” Another goodie that gets the point across is, “If you have to ask me I am pretty sure you already know the answer,” to which most will say, “Yes I did but I still wanted to ask.” For some I get push back. I understand that. I don’t want to be limited either. For that I gently say, “It’s just my job to tell you,” which usually elicits a chuckle. Because I have come to understand that time is precious and I cannot know everything or dare I say, excel in all things, I’ve decided long ago to focus my energy, my intent in the chiropractic health area. Even doing this I know it will take a lifetime of learning to even scratch the surface of all there potentially is to understand.
While I may not know much, I do know what I would and would not recommend as it comes to your health. "Natural Perspectives" is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.

10 bad habits around the House that cost you money hgtv.com Yanking the cord to unplug the vacuum Why it's bad: Repeatedly tugging the vacuum cord instead of bending down and pulling the plug out of the socket could cause a whole host of damage. The cord could split open, a wire inside could break, the plug could bend out of whack, or you could even crack the outlet itself-all of which could lead to pricey repairs. Always washing clothes in hot water Why it's bad: Only whites, on occasion, and your dirtiest loads, like oil-splattered clothes, require a high-temp setting. For all others, including bloodstained items, cold water will do the trick. And because most of the electricity your washer uses goes toward heating the water, you can save up to 50 cents a load if you set the dial to "colors" or the cold water setting. At four loads a week, that's $104 a year. Overfilling the refrigerator Why it's bad: A fridge functions at its best when it's about three-quarters full. When shelves are stuffed to the brim -- or if items are blocking the vents in the top of the refrigerator where the cold air is released -- it can lead to poor circulation. Translation: Your food will spoil faster. Running the dishwasher halfempty Why it's bad: Your machine uses the same amount of water and electricity no matter how many dishes are inside, so two half loads require double the water and electricity of a single full one. If you're desperate to get a small load clean, just wash those dishes by hand, but limit wastefulness by turning off the tap while you're soaping everything up.

All of those issues are solved with TeacherLists.” More than 50,000 schools now have lists posted on TeacherLists.

One Way?
Is there only one way to heaven or are there many ways? Those who pride themselves in their broadminded acceptance of all religions and lifestyles say there are many ways to heaven. But Jesus Christ warns, “wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). Just how narrow is the way? God narrowed it down to one person—Jesus! He exclusively declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). The Apostles affirmed that Jesus is the only way to heaven—excluding all others! “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). The Bible is perfectly clear that there is only “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). See: www.naog.ws/theway.htm for more on this biblical truth. Jesus is God’s free gift of eternal life: “God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:11-12). We all need to confess and repent of our sins: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Receiving Jesus: “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). Life’s most important choice is whether or not you will believe on Jesus! “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36). – Written by Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark

Dimming Ears By Charles McIlhaney Jr. Happy Birthday Leos (July 23-August 22). I’m treading steadily through my early seventies, with all the baggage that goes with it. For one thing, I suppose I should start thinking about getting a hearing aid. My wife and my sisters keep urging me that it might be time. I must admit, I find myself more and more having to ask people to repeat what they just said, sometimes with a twinge of intolerance on their part. However, I can still hear the wind howl through the trees and the rain dance on the roof; the honking of overhead geese and the trill of songbirds in the brush; barking dogs, music, and church bells. Maybe, I’ll think about it tomorrow. A codger sat quiet under a tree Listening, he said, to a symphony. I asked how could this be? Well son, said he: Maybe it’s the state of an old man’s mind That on genteel days, I chance to find, While with ever dimming ears, ‘Tis oft in quietude I hear Subtleties of an ethereal kind. Like the hush of a slightest breeze Swayed none but the supplest leaves. Still, within the whispered stir, Was borne low the lilt I heard Of aeolian strings air through the trees. I asked the old man tell to me What other of this anomaly? Well son, said he: Once a snowflake that had lept Wherefrom the womb of a cloud was kept, Wafted gently from aloft And I swear, as it settled soft, I heard it sigh before it slept. I asked the old man what might be More profound of this oddity? Well son, said he: The time may be coming soon, When with ancient oracles I’ll commune. Should my ears go deaf and done, I’ll hearken to wisdom of the Sun, And to the solace of the Moon.
