Allen Township board gives Final okay to FedEx megahub By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
After months of discussion by the Allen Township Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, final approval was given on Thursday night to the $335 million, 1.2 million square foot FedEx distribution center by the Supervisors. The vote was 3 to 1 as chairmen Paul Balliet, Alfred Pierce and Larry Oberly approved. Dale Hassler voted no, and vice chairman Bruce Frack abstained since he serves on the Lehigh-Northampton Au-
thority which is selling the land it owns, on which the megahub will be built. Hassler’s objection was that the plans do not call for sidewalks to the center. As a number of township residents were present, who again voiced their objections, led by Robert Nappa. As a spokesman for the group, he read a lengthy statement of objections at last month’s Supervisors meeting. On Thursday, Nappa’s wife, Kim, also spoke out. Nappa again called for a third traffic study, while his wife asserted that
the township officials haven’t listened to them. A Hanover Twsp. Lehigh County Supervisor also had concerns with traffic. The distribution center will be off Willowbrook Road. FedEx expects to make $40 million in road improvements related to the project, including Airport Rd., Race St., and Willowbrook Rd. Gov. Tom Corbett recently approved $5 million in discretionary funding by PennDOT as a boost to the improvements. Now that Allen Township has given its approval, the next

okay must come from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the form of permits since the hub will be on Lehigh Valley International Airport land. Construction of the facility will be in three phases, the first an 800,000 warehouse, starting this fall. The Rock-
efeller Group planning the project expects that there will be 600 persons employed in the construction, 700 FedEx jobs when the building opens, and by the year 2030 a total of 3,000 workers employed at the massive distribution center.

by ED PANY Here is a 1974 story about one of our neighbors: A Bath truck driver was honored for having driven more than a million miles without an accident. Carl J. Milkovits 46, of Green Street was given a “Million Miler” Award for safety excellence at a ceremony at the Holiday Inn West. A driver for D. F. Bast, Inc. Allentown the past 18 years, Milkovits was the first Pennsylvanian to win this type of award from the Heavy Specialized Carriers Conference of the American Trucking Association. He has driven 1.4 million miles since joining the Bast firm. Participating with Milkovits in the awards ceremony were his wife Mary, and their three children, Theresa 10, Christina 18, and Karl, 12. Milkovits has been a trucker since 1949 and hasn’t had an accident either while working or in driving his family car. He

noted, “I came out of the service and that was the first thing that was open that I thought I would like, I stuck at it.” He also said he doesn’t carry a citizen’s band radio on his truck, explaining, “If you obey the laws you don’t have to worry where the police are.” The award was presented to Milkovits by Douglas Hughes, director of transportation for the Association. This is the second year he has presented this type of honor. A total of 67 drivers for the Bast Co. received safe-driving awards on Sunday, combined 429 years of accident-free trucking. Among the Company officials present were Phillip I. Berman, board chairman, Donald Profitt, president, George Leader, treasurer, Rep. Fred B. Rooney and State Sen. Henry Messinger. Do my readers recall when D.E. Bast and many trucking companies hauled loads of steel beams from the Bethlehem Steel? They helped build America!

Nazareth Sticker Suspects Cleared “When you get into protected speech it’s a very, very fine line,” Judge Jacqueline Taschner By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News
In a hearing on Wednesday, August 13 three men were cleared of all charges brought on by the Nazareth Area Police Department. The suspects, Jeremy Peters, 22, Trevor Gehret, 30, and Daniel Logothetis, 23, all of Nazareth, were charged with criminal mischief, harassment, scattering rubbish and disorderly conduct. The case focused on stickers that called for the firing of police chief Thomas Trachta.
According to District Judge Jacqueline Taschner, Nazareth Police Officer Daniel Troxell, who prosecuted the case, failed to prove any of the charges. The Associate Publisher of this newspaper, Joe Korba, was subpoenaed to testify to the fact that he did not give the defendants permission to place stickers on the newspaper box in the borough. On cross examination by Attorney Gary Asteak, Korba admitted that he was first made aware of the stickers in an e-

mail from Chief Trachta. “When you get into protected speech it’s a very, very fine line,” Judge Taschner said in reference to the stickers. Ultimately, she decided there was no evidence to support the charges. On Monday, Attorney Mark Minotti, who represented Jeremy Peters at the hearing, notified Nazareth Borough that he plans on filing a civil suit against the borough, arresting officer Daniel Troxell and Chief Thomas Trachta.

Research says it’s rampant, but why is it continuing and who is to blame? I went for a take-out breakfast and the boss even called me “sweetie.” So, this very polite guy shows up at the counter with two pieces of bread and he said, “Excuse me, but I ordered toast and this bread is not toasted.” The boss said, “It’s toasted.” The customer said, “No it’s not.” The boss said, “Yes it is.” The customer said, “Look at this bread, it is not toasted.” The boss stormed off and said, “I’ll get your toast.” In the meantime a waitress shows up, clearly knows the customer, and they start chatting.

Name: Pita Breed: Terrier mix Age: Adult 8 yrs.
Hi there! My name is Pita (but some of my friends call me pita pocket)because I am a quite the little package. I am an older adult female who was adopted from the shelter several years ago, but I find myself back at no fault of my own. Let me just say up front that this time around, I’m looking for someone to make me their
forever girl. I am calm and easy going (although I must confess that every now and then, when I get really excited, I get this sudden burst of energy that makes me shoot off like a little jet plane!) Don’t worry, it’s very short lived, but I do like to keep you on your toes. Sometimes I am a bit timid or shy until I get to know you, but I warm up rather quickly. I should be the only dog in my new home and I’m still not too sure what I think about cats. Sometimes I don’t seem to mind them, but other days they irritate me…so we’ll have to see. Oh, I forgot to mention that I am one of the favorite dogs at the shelter to take to off sites too, because I am well mannered, so I ride nicely in the car as well For more information, contact The Center for Animal Health & Welfare 1165 Island Park Rd, Easton by calling 610-252-7722 or visit www.healthyanimalcenter. org

Carbon Pollution limits For power plants
Few things are more frightening for a parent than racing to the hospital with a child who can’t breathe. Few things are more difficult for a physician than telling a family that a loved one will not recover from an asthma attack. We work with people who know those experiences far too well and –because of those experiences– support reducing carbon pollution. The American Lung Association and the American Thoracic Society members and volunteers understand the impact of polluted air. We know that, as a nation, we have to do more to protect the ability of people to breathe, and that requires us to reduce carbon pollution from power plants. It isn’t enough for physicians to educate patients about the health risks of air pollution, and for parents to keep their children with asthma indoors on bad air days. We must reduce pollution before it takes a further toll on our children and families. As a nation, we have cut air pollution by over 70 percent since 1970, but today more than 147 million Americans (nearly half of the U.S. population) still live where the air is unhealthy to breathe. Warmer temperatures from climate change will make it even harder to reduce air pollution in many places, and increase the likelihood of drought, wildfires and other threats to our health. Fortunately, we can fight those threats. Recently, hundreds of people attended public hearings hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Denver, Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Washington, DC to speak out in support of the proposed Clean Power Plan to place first-ever limits on power plant carbon pollution. They spoke up because they recognize that reducing carbon pollution benefits the health of communities across the nation. The EPA’s Clean Power Plan provides states with tools to reduce the carbon pollution from power plants by 30 percent, moving us forward
VIRGO--Aug. 23 to Sep. 22--If you are wrong, admit it! A simple “I’m sorry” could clear the air and restore good feelings. You must learn to be more tolerant. LIBRA--Sept. 23 to Oct. 22--Do something this week to make a child happy. A small gift could bring untold joy to one you love. If time permits, take a walk with a young person. SCORPIO--Oct. 23 to Nov. 22--Out of sight, out of mind. This should be your sentiments about someone whose company you do not enjoy.. SAGITTARIUS--Nov 23 to Dec. 21--Don’t place blame on someone who is not present to defend himself. You must realize that when you downgrade someone else you are degrading yourself. CAPRICORN--Dec. 22 to Jan. 19--Entertain friends this week. Y ou have had your nose to the grindstone for too long without a pleasurable interlude. AQUARIUS--Jan. 20 to Feb. 18--Don’t lose your individuality. Share some interests with friends or mate, but also pursue some projects on your own. PISCES--Feb. 19 to March 20--Love is in the air this week. The feeling that the ills of mankind can be cured by caring overcomes you. ARIES--March 21 to April 20--You could be way off base on your assumptions this week. Someone who projects an image of shyness may turn out to be an aggressive person. TAURUS--April 21 to May 20--If you are overcome by a feeling of wan- derlust, plan a short trip or a one-day outing. Get out of your rut for a short time. GEMINI--May 21 to June 20--Continue to study in order to sharpen your professional skills. Stay up-to-date on a new happening in your field.
in the fight against climate change. But the plan would do more than that. When fully implemented, the carbon reduction plan will also reduce lethal air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and mercury by 25 percent, preventing up to 6,600 premature deaths and 150,000 asthma attacks in children each year. The plan would also help prevent heart attacks, hospital admissions and missed days of work or school due to illness. Public health experts call this prevention. For the rest of us, it’s just simple com-
mon sense. That is why both our organizations support efforts of the EPA to establish national limits on carbon pollution. If we, as a nation, act responsibly now to reduce carbon pollution we can simultaneously improve our air quality now and prevent many of the adverse health and environmental impacts for future generations.
CANCER--June 21 to July 22--The opportunity presents itself for you to make good use of the fine abilities you possess. LEO--July 23 to Aug. 22--You can accomplish just as much as you think you can. Work to improve your selfimage. Before you can love others, you must learn to love yourself more.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip The count down has started, and soon it’s reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic time for the school kids. I reckon they’re about ready, maybe even bored, after a couple months of vacation, playing ball or just sitting at home fiddling with their computer technology, the names of which I choose to ignore, being one of those old-schoolers. The bright yellow school buses will be on the road again, so drivers, watch for them and make it safe for our young’uns. . . . Get well cards and prayers are needed for Charlie Billings. He’s back in the hospital again with heart problems. It’s good he has a sense of humor and looks at things in a positive way. I hope you’re feeling better, Charlie. . . . The Lions missed him as a
caller at the bingo stand they ran down at Muhlenberg Hospital’s festival last week. . . . Congrats to the Northampton Giants. They did it, winning over Limeport for the championship! Like the champion Bath Legion baseball team, the players don’t just come from Northampton. They’re also from Whitehall, Nazareth, Catty and other places, but they have the Northampton name, and that’s what counts. . . .Hats off to Jerry Bossard-Baltz of Moore Township for giving bone marrow to someone who needed it. Turns out he came from Maine, and last week he and his wife made the trip down to Jerry’s home and they all celebrated with a big picnic party out back. A great story. . . .With all the festivals we’ve had this sum-

mer, no need to be cooking at home on weekends. There was one up at Little Moore Church last Saturday and another one is coming up this Saturday up at Hope Lutheran Church on the east side of Moorestown.

I see the okay has been given for the FedEx distribution center over in Allen Township. Even though the people living nearby were up in arms about it, seems to me it was gonna happen when they talk 3,000 people working there eventually and all the tax money coming in.

Took notice in last week’s paper that there’s gonna be a yard sale in town come September 6th. You know the old saying, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure,” so we’ll see what comes outta the attics. . . . Mayor Fi can hardly wait until October when it’s Community Day and all the goings on that are planned to benefit the fight against cancer. . . .Had my fill of baseball over the weekend with the IronPigs, Phillies, and the Little League World Series. That gal, Mo’ne Davis, who pitches for the Taney Dragons in Philly, will have a tough opponent, Las Vegas, on Wednesday because they scored 25 runs in two games. Still I hope she beats ‘em. . . .Gotta go. Enjoy the good weather. Fall will be coming on soon enough.

Northampton wins BML championship 6-5 over Limeport By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
The Northampton Giants captured the 2014 Blue Mountain League championship on Wednesday, August 13. They defeated the Limeport Bulls, 6-5, in a come from behind victory. It was their first league title since 1994. In the past two seasons Northampton was 11 and 21 in 2012 and 11-20-1 in 2013 and were never in the playoffs. This season they finished 24-12-1, going 6-1 in the playoffs. Northampton had gone ahead 4-0, but Limeport battled back and took the lead at 5-4 in the 6th inning. But

Northampton came up with two runs in the 7th inning to win the pennant. They did it with two outs and two on base. Appropriately, the winning hit was a single by Konkrete Kids graduate Cody Kramer. Last fall, Kramer was named the BML Hall of Fame’s scholarathlete. It was a team effort by the Giants, and appropriately the winning game was played on Lisetski Field in Northampton. The field and the street nearby are named for the late Mike Lisetski, former Northampton High School history teacher and baseball coach, and a former referee in the National Football League. This was the first year Limeport was in the Blue Mountain League. Previously, they were a part of the Tri-County League.

Outdoors Submitted by TRAVIS LAU There’s been a lot of talk lately about the possibility a permit soon might be required to use state game lands. And at meeting next month, the Pennsylvania Game Commission formally will consider adopting such a permit, which would not be required for anyone who holds a valid hunting or furtaker’s license. But there’s an important difference between the proposal on the table and what you might have heard about it. Namely, the permit being proposed would be required only for those riding bicycles, horses or snowmobiles on designated trails on game lands. Others, such as hikers or birdwatchers without a hunting or furtaker’s license, would continue to be able to use game lands in the same manner they do now. A study into the need for a game-lands use permit concluded that low-impact users like hikers and birdwatchers typically don’t cause the types of damage to game lands – and associated repair costs – that the permit fee would help offset. That’s why the recommendation from the Game Com-
Proposal: Require Permit For Recreational Riding On Game Lands mission’s Bureau of Wildlife Habitat Management was narrowed to apply only to specific uses on designated trails. The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners will consider the recommendation at its regular meeting to be held Sept. 22 and 23 in Delmont, Pa. The board is scheduled to hear public comment at the meeting, limited to five minutes per person, beginning at 8:30 a.m. If a vote is taken, it would occur on Sept. 23. Hunters fund game lands Many uses of game lands take a toll that requires upkeep. Driving on game lands roads, parking in lots there and using designated trails – even in the best conditions – results in some wear and tear. Historically, the state’s hunters and trappers have shouldered those maintenance costs, as well as other costs associated with game lands. Unlike state or county parks, the state game lands system was created and is maintained almost entirely with sportsmen’s dollars, derived in large part from the sale of hunting and furtakers’ licenses. Game lands are managed

to improve wildlife habitat, and create hunting and trapping opportunities. The use of game lands by other outdoor enthusiasts long has been permitted, though activities not related to hunting and trapping are restricted during hunting and trapping seasons, and certain uses might be prohibited on some sections of game lands. Recreational horseback riding, bicycling and snowmobiling are permitted only on designated trails on game lands. However, there often are other trails on game lands that, even though they are not designated, are used frequently for recreational riding. In some cases, it might be difficult for a rider to distinguish a designated from a non-designated trail. Signs posting trails as being off limits often are torn down, or just ignored. And the damage to wildlife habitat from undesignated trails, and the upkeep costs of designated trails, both can mount very quickly. Money spent on trails There are more than 1,328 miles of designated trails on game lands to accommodate horseback riding, bicycling and snowmobiles. That’s about the same distance you’d cover if you walked the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and back – twice. Or, if you’d rather, you

could walk from Harrisburg to Florida and cover roughly the same distance. In reviewing recent spending records, the Game Commission identified about $230,000 in known costs over the past three years associated with trail maintenance and signage. Other projects to build or maintain game lands roads, parking lots or other infrastructure – all of which benefits trail users – topped $4 million in less than three years. Trails also serve as rights of way, meaning they create areas that must be excluded from revenue generators like timber sales, accounting for the potential loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Damage to trails due to horses, bicycles and snowmobiles can be considerable. When the ground is saturated, horses can leave hoof prints 6 inches deep. And in areas with heavy traffic, or that stay wet most of the time, the damage is even worse. It’s no different with bicycles and snowmobiles, which also can damage habitat and infrastructure and create the same type of erosion and sedimentation concerns, at ford crossings and elsewhere. In the worst cases, damage associated with trails threatens the very purpose of the game lands, and conflicts with the concept that recreational opportunities on game lands should come at no compromise to wildlife habitat or hunting or trapping opportunities. The permit being considered would seek to better regulate riding on designated trails, thereby mitigating that impact as well as raising revenue for associated maintenance costs. Given the Game Commission’s duty to mitigate damage caused by uses not related to hunting or trapping, a lack of action might also jeopardize the receipt of future Pittman-Robertson funds, which are derived from a federal excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition, then doled out to the states for habitat restoration and other uses. The permit Under the recommendation proposed, the privileges
www.reneespersonalcarehome.com
www.HomeNewsPA.com to ride horses, bicycles or snowmobiles on designated trails on game lands would be included within the existing State Game Lands Shooting Range Permit, commonly called a range permit. Range permits cost $30 and are available for purchase online through the Outdoor Shop at the Game Commission’s website. Range permits are effective from June 30 to July 1, mirroring the timetable for hunting and furtakers’ licenses. Of course, those who hold a valid hunting or furtaker’s license will not be required to obtain a permit to ride horses, bicycles or snowmobiles on designated game lands trails. They receive those privileges when they purchase their licenses. If the recommendation is adopted, and a permit becomes required for others to use designated trails on state game lands, the name of the dual-purpose permit will be changed to “State Game Lands Permit.” The permits would only be required for those 16 years of age or older. Opportunity to comment Those wishing to comment about the proposal can do so at the Board of Game Commissioners meeting on Monday, Sept. 22 in Westmoreland County. The meeting is to be held at the Lamplighter Inn, 6566 William Penn Highway, Delmont, Pa. 15626. Doors open at 7:45 a.m. the day of the meeting and public comment begins at 8:30 a.m. The commissioners may vote on the proposal during the meeting’s second day Sept. 23. The Sept. 23 meeting is scheduled for the same location and also will start at 8:30. Comments also may be submitted in writing. The easiest way to submit a comment is by email sent to pgccomments@pa.gov. Comments also can be mailed to the Game Commission.

Supervisor pushes for Additional Officer in Lehigh Township By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News
Lehigh Township Supervisor Keith Hantz was steadfast in support of hiring an additional police officer at the board meeting held on August 12. He faced strong opposition from some others on the board. Cindy Miller, Sandra Hopkins and Darryl Snover were all in opposition to hiring a new officer. Hantz said that hiring a new officer is essentially just replacing an officer that retired over three years ago. He noted that there is about $67K in the budget ($30K for a police salary and $37K that was reserved for a tabled road crew hire) that will go unused this year. The budgeted money could be used to hire a new officer. Hantz focused his viewpoint on providing essential police services to the community and keeping the additional salary in the budget. Opposition came from Chairman Darryl Snover, who said that taxes would have to increase to hire a new officer and with the rising cost to maintain healthcare for the current township staff, he could not support bringing on any additional employees. Snover noted
that the Township had received communication from Highmark that coverage costs were going up by approximately 40% next year. He said that that increase alone would raise taxes by one half a mil, without making any changes to the current plans. Snover said that he was not hopeful that they would be able find better rates with other insurance providers. “We’re hoping to find a better rate,” he said “I am not feeling exactly hopeful that many of the other insurance companies are not going to be jacking their rates up at the same time.” Snover suggested looking at regionalizing with Walnutport Police Department to provide needed coverage without increasing taxes. “The Police Department is our single biggest budgetary item,” he said. Cindy Miller also opposed hiring a new officer. She said that she could not support hiring a new officer until scheduling, log sheets and other issues are addressed. Miller noted that it’s not just the hiring of a new employee, but also the sustainability of a new employee that needs to be considered. She suggested creative schedul-
ing to make the 11 current full-time employees work for the township. Sandra Hopkins said she is also unable to support the hiring of a new officer because there are too many other expenses hitting the budget that need to be taken care of “I’ve got a list here as long as my arm,” Hopkins said referring to the expenses. Citing budgetary constraints, scheduling and avoiding tax increases, the supervisors did not vote on the hiring of a new officer; Hantz said that he would continue to bring up the issue in future meetings. Other matters: • Supervisors continued to look at the Capital Improvement Plan for the Township and how equipment maintenance will impact budgeting in the future. They will take a few weeks to review the plan. • Township Manager, Alice Rehrig noted that the township has applied for five grants including; ARLE Grant from PennDOT for safety improvements on township roads, 902 Recycling Grants for performance and equipment, Monroe County Gaming
County. Supervisors also approved painting or vinyl wrapping the vehicle. Supervisors unanimously approved $200,000 for the new vehicle, painting and expansion. • The Supervisors will be reviewing the Delps Park Proposals and meeting with the lowest bidders before making an award decision on the project. • According to Chief Fogel, traffic complaints are up on many of the township roads. He suggested lowering the township-wide speed limit, currently 55 MPH where not marked, to help reduce the complaints. A traffic study would be needed prior to making such changes.
Grant, Northampton County Gaming Grant, and a Greenway Trails Grant to hopefully be used on the Delps Park project. Rehrig said they should hear back on the grants in the coming weeks and months. • The Lehigh Township Vol. Fire Company received approval for a two bay expansion on the front doors of the fire company. The expansion will allow for the purchase of a larger fire truck from Hanover Township, Lehigh

August 21-27, 2014 13
News Sermonette The Rev. Christina J. Keller
Moore Twp: Covenant United Methodist Church 2715 Mountain View Drive, Bath
Each Day a New Beginning “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” These words come from Lamentation 3:2223. They bring to mind one of my favorite hymns, Great is Thy Faithfulness. The chorus of that hymn says, “morning by morning, new mercies I see. All I have needed thy hand hath provided. Great is they faithfulness, Lord unto me.” That chorus often comes to me in the morning as I start my day with a shower. I think of it as my shower song, but I don’t sing in the shower … out loud that is. Usually. I like that chorus because it reminds me that “all I have needed thy hand hath provided.” All I have really needed in life, the Lord has provided. I’m sure many of you have had times in your life when you’ve wondered where the money was coming to pay a bill … or your next meal was coming from. And out of the blue, the money came from somewhere, or somehow you had the meal you needed. The Lord provides. But the chorus of Great Is Thy Faithfulness also reminds us that each day is a fresh start! “Morning by morning, new mercies I see.” Each day is a blank slate ready and waiting to be filled with new possibilities. Each day is a new chance to be the person God has called you to be. Because God’s mercies are new each day, we can “sing to the Lord a new song.” But when the light has gone out of your world, it’s hard to find your way, isn’t it? When illness or disease strike you, or someone close to you, it’s hard to see the light. When your job is difficult, when the people you work with are difficult, when your boss is difficult, it’s hard to see the light. When your coworkers are dropping like flies from the company payroll, it’s hard to see the light. When a classmate is picking on you, it’s hard to see the light. When your team is relying on you and you just don’t feel up to the game, it’s hard to see the light. When your teacher is, shall we say, unpleasant, it’s hard to see the light. When your spouse is upset by work problems, health issues, or in-law problems, it’s hard to see the light. When they are upset with you, it may be even harder to see the light. The roof leaks, the basement is flooded, the car needs fixing, the dog is sick, your children are fighting and your spouse is no help. There are times when it’s real hard to see the light. But as you fumble through your days, tripping over yourself and your burdens, you need to remember that you are not alone. God is on your side. His steadfast love never ceases. Lamentations tells us: “It’s a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God. It’s a good thing when you’re young to stick it out through the hard times. When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence. Bow in prayer. Don’t ask questions: Wait for hope to appear. Don’t run from trouble. Take it full-face. The “worst” is never the worst. Why? Because the Master won’t ever walk out and fail to return. God does not willingly afflict or grieve anyone. We need to be reminded of that when we feel down and out for the count. But still, life’s problems cause many people to worry. We worry about many things, like where will we get the money to pay our bills. We worry about the maintenance of our cars, …. the maintenance of our homes. We worry about our health … our children … our jobs. Worry causes anxiety. Do you know how many synonyms there are for anxiety? Well, I’ll share a few with you. There’s nervousness, worry, concern, unease, apprehension, disquiet, fretfulness, angst, fear. Do you know what the opposite of anxiety is? Calmness. Isn’t calmness much better to feel than anxiety? Perhaps these words from Matthew will remind you of the pointlessness of worrying. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? … But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today.” Worrying weighs you down. Worry is the opposite of faith. Someone once made the observation that, “Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its trials––it simply empties today of its joy. Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow––it empties today of its strength.” If each day is a new beginning … if morning by morning new mercies I see, doesn’t that offer us hope? Listen to the opening verses of Psalm 124. “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—let Israel now say—if it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when our enemies attacked us, then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us …” If it had not been for the Lord, where would we be? Where would You be? “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised.” “His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

By removing the stigma surrounding depression, Romirowsky says, those with it are more likely to seek professional help, which can save lives. "Research has shown that medication is very, very helpful for most people," he says. "Talking about one's problems or feelings is very, very helpful for most people. And doing both is the most effective for most people. " Romirowsky says people for whom depression may be coming an issue should be encouraged to see their primary physician, a mental health expert or check resources offered by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Williams’ Death Stirs Dialogue On Depression, Addiction Op-Ed
By TOM JOSEPH We are learning more about the demons comedian and actor Robin Williams faced in the forms of depression and addiction prior to his death earlier this week. His passing has brought those illnesses to the forefront, but will it have a longterm impact on how they are perceived? Samuel Romirowsky, a licensed psychologist in the Philadelphia area, says it's the kind of discussion that happens when someone famous dies tragically. "We only talk about it when it hits home and we're so stunned by losing somebody, especially a celebrity," Romirowsky says. "But then when we sort of accommo-
date that that happened, that discussion is over." Romirowsky adds society continues to view mental illness very differently than physical illnesses such as heart disease or cancer, diseases people feel no shame about and instead usually seek out immediate help to treat or cure. He points out the shame that people with mental illness feel often drives them to self-medicate. And that can lead to another life-threatening disease - addiction. "It's a very common partnership," he stresses. "So common that, in the industry, it's really referred to as a co-morbidity, which in plain English means a partnership of depression and addiction."
