For the first time since it was built in 1984, the Bath American Legion Bowling Lanes at 278 Race Street are in a remodeling mode. All the old seating, counters and rug have been removed and are being replaced by new equipment and items that will make the lanes more comfortable and enjoyable for all the bowlers.

Marty Beal, who manages the facility, assured everyone that all the work will be completed prior to the start of fall bowling leagues.

Fall/Winter leagues are now forming and in need of men and women bowlers. Also children are needed for the Saturday morning Y.A.B.A. League.

Call Beal at 610-704-0383 if interested in joining a league.

He also announced that Saturday night bowling will start again after the Labor Day holiday. For other information about the Legion Bowling Lanes, see the weekly ads in The Home News.

Red Cross urges donors of Opinion

by Teresa Osborne, all blood types to roll up a Submitted Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Aging sleeve and give blood Governor Wolf ’s budget is one

by COLIN RICCOBON During National Preparedness Month, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood to help ensure a stable and diverse blood supply is available during emergencies of all types.

A diverse blood supply is important to ensuring the needs of all patients are met. Red blood cells carry markers that determine one’s blood type, and some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups. Because blood from donors of the same ethnic background as the recipient is less likely to cause complications, the Red Cross must maintain a diverse blood supply to meet these diverse patient needs.

Whether blood is needed for a chronic condition such as sickle cell disease, a surgical procedure or a large-scale emergency, it’s the blood already on the shelves that helps save lives. The Red Cross encourages donors of all types to give blood, and those with types AB, O negative, A negative and B negative are especially needed.

To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Berks: Friday, September 25 Laurel Center Genesis Healthcare

12:00 pm - 5:00 pm 125 Holly Road, Hamburg

Wednesday, September 30 Kutztown University Student Recreation Center 9:00 am - 3:00 pm 15200 Kutztown Road, Kutztown

Northampton: Saturday, September 19 Memorial Library of Nazareth 11:00 am - 4:00 pm 295 East Center Street, Nazareth

How to donate blood:

Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information.

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients.

A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-forprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

that truly plans for the future of our commonwealth. By the year 2020, more than one in four Pennsylvanians will be age 60 or older. One of the Governor‘s top priorities is to provide greater choice and more opportunity for older Pennsylvanians as they age, especially as it relates to homeand community-based services such as transportation, insurance counseling and meals, among others.

The past four years of state funding cuts have forced so many human services providers to make difficult decisions. These decisions cut to the core of our collective ability to provide services to many of Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable citizens.

The Governor’s proposed budget restores funding for County Human Services agencies that were significantly cut by the prior

administration in 2012-13.Governor Wolf ’s budget takes significant steps to protect seniors as it expands long-term care for older adults who want to access services and supports in their homes, and it provides much needed property tax relief for seniors on fixed incomes.

Governor Wolf ’s budget expands home- and communitybased long term care programming by allowing more than 5,500 additional individuals to obtain care in their home this year. With this expansion, more than 50 percent of residents receiving long term care will do so in a home or community setting.

Aug. 27-Sept. 2, 2015 3

For every month a resident receives care in the community as opposed to a nursing facility, the Commonwealth is able to save $2,457 per month. In expanding home- and community-based services to more than 5,500 residents, the Commonwealth is offsetting more than $162.2 million in nursing care costs. Under his plan, 270,000 seniors will see their school district property taxes eliminated, home and community based services will be expanded, including protections Continued on page 4

for those who need to access longterm services and supports. These services include enhancing the provision of home modifications, which can allow older Pennsylvanians to remain in their homes and communities instead of living in a nursing home.

While budgets of the previous administration cut funding for many human services programs, the present Republican budget includes no new funding for county-run programs, and continues to reach deeply into the Lottery Fund in order to reduce General Fund spending on Medicaid expenditures.

As a former director of a county human services program and administrator of a county area agency on aging (AAA), I understand and respect the critical role counties play in the delivery of human services and programs and recognize fully that counties and their local community partners are doing and will do all they can to take the necessary steps to keep agency doors open. They do so under incredibly difficult circumstances, as cash flow issues may result in slower payments to vendors, loans taken out, money borrowed, and reserves tapped.

Grow UR Biz Sometimes what is on the menu just doesn’t work. We all have our special needs when it comes to dining out. Often, however, there are mistakes; you order regular coffee and you get decaf, you order no onions and your salad is loaded with them, you order unsweetened and you get sweetened or you order well-done steak and you get medium rare. You get my point. Sometimes these mistakes are because of an honest mistake, but much of the time it is because of poor listening skills.

Today we live in a world of allergies and sensitivities when it comes to eating: gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian and so many more. If you are serving food to folks, and don’t have good listening skills, it can be a health hazard.

Here are my nine essential listening lessons.

Lesson One – Pay attention to your customer. Make them feel like they are the only one in the room.

Lesson Two – Stay focused on the task in hand.

Lesson Three – Stop talking. You can’t listen if you are talking.

Lesson Four - Repeat back what the person says to you.

Lesson Five – Make eye contact.

Lesson Six – Watch for body language. It is another way to communicate.

Lesson Seven - Be empathetic.

Lesson Eight – Do not judge. Help the customer get what they need.

Lesson Nine – Don’t be distracted. The customer can sense a lack of interest.

Listening requires concentration. Sometimes we get so wrapped up with all of the distractions in life that we don’t take time to listen, learn and serve our customers based on what they want, not what we want.

A-Treat soda Hits the Production line

by KRISTIN SCHAEFFER Jaindl Companies is pleased to announce that the first orders of A-Treat went into production on Monday morning at Coca-Cola® Bottling Company of the Lehigh Valley. In an exciting moment for the iconic soda company, the Jaindl team met with the CocaCola production management to view the first cans roll down the production line. Tom Garvey, former A-Treat president, was directly involved with a taste testing of the first flavors to ensure a quality product that lives up to the A-Treat legacy. Garvey worked hand-in-hand on the product taste with Quality Control of Coca-Cola Bottling Com-

pany. "Everything tastes perfect, and this is based on 50 years of experience in consuming A-Treat products,” said Garvey.

"This is a monumental occasion for A-Treat," said Adam Jaindl.

"This is just the beginning." The first orders are expected to be in stores within 7-10 days, with full distribution by Labor Day weekend. The first flavors rolled out will be Black Cherry, Birch Beer, Cream, Big Blue, Ginger Ale, Sarsaparilla, Orange, Root Beer, Grapefruit, and Diet Cream.

"We're really looking forward to hearing more from the customers in terms of where they want the product distributed. They've been critical in deciding flavors through our recent Flavor Poll, and now we want to hear from them on where they want to buy it," said Luke Jaindl. Customers can request A-Treat at their local grocery stores by printing out a "Customer Request Form" and giving it to the store manager.

About A-Treat: The Allentown, PA-based soda brand was founded in 1918 by Joseph and Jack Egizio using the finest traditional ingredients available that devotees have counted on for close to 100 years. Recently aquired by the Jaindl Companies, the iconic A-Treat will hit the market in early fall, still produced according to fomulas that evolved from Egizio family recipes.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip What a marvelous way to end the summer months! The weather has been great all this week, except for some rain Monday night, and everyone could enjoy it to its fullest before the start of school and the Labor Day holiday. Yep, school starts next Monday, August 31 and Labor Day won’t be until September 7. So enjoy whatever time you have off! . . . . This weekend is the 250th anniversary celebration for Moore Township, and if the weather holds and the sun is shining, the folks up there should have a great time for all the things that the historical commission has planned for them. . . . There were lots of hugs going around down at the T&C last Thursday morning when Pastor Fran and her Mom came for breakfast with the church group, who she served for nine years. Glad to see her! . . . .

So the Phillies finally traded that Chase Utley. And to the Dodgers where he can play with Jimmy Rollins again! Looks like we’re down to just two Phillies left from the 2008 World Series title team. Hard to believe. The Phillies have been playing great since the All-Star Game, but they ran into the bombarding New York Mets, the first place Mets, who had two 14-9 games last week in Colorado, and an 18-7 homer barrage against the Phils on Monday. Phillies led 7-2 before they started hitting eight home runs. Wow! . . . . I see PennEast may be running their natural gas pipeline into Lehigh Township, making it possible that the Blue Mountain Resort can have a huge water park like the one that just opened this summer up in the Poconos. Lehigh Township could have gas service from UGI if it all works out. We’ll see. Seems like there’s less resistance to the pipeline around here now, but it’s heating up down in New Jersey. As I get it, PennEast wants

to file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by the middle of September. As I said earlier, we’ll see what happens. . . .I wonder if Bob Kucsan is gonna attend the Cigars International open house come next Tuesday over in Bethlehem? He’s a cigar aficionado. . . .Bath Lions Football people are collecting used clothing and lots of other items down at Ciff Cowling Field four days this week, and again Sept. 7, 8 and 10, from 6 to 8 o’clock and Sept. 20 from 10 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon. Hafta see what’s in the closet we’re not wearing anymore, Elmira. . . .Have a great year in school, kids, and study hard.

OUTDOORS Sportsmen Hear About Falconry For Sunday Hunting

by HOBBY The impact of falconry on small game hunting is minimal, a member of Pennsylvania Falconry & Hawk Trust told delegates of the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs on Monday at the Hellertown Sportsmen’s Association. As such, those who train falcons to hunt wild birds of prey and small game believe it deserves to be a part of the Sunday hunting legislation that is under study in Pennsylvania by the House and Senate Game & Fisheries Committees at the present time.

Rob Nyce said it is a huge responsibility to train falcons and takes a great deal of time after the birds are caught early on in their lives. After two years of this training they are released. Presently, there are about 200,000 falcons in Pennsylvania. Nyce believes that falconry should be protected as a sport in Sunday hunting if it becomes a reality. He recently communicated with State Senator, chairman of the committee, and local State Representative Marcia Hahn, urging them to consider it.

WUNDERLER’S MARKET Vintner’s Wine Kits

Wildlife Conservation Officer Tyler Kreider, in his report, noted that thousands of sportsmen gathered at the recent Great Outdoors Elk Expo, when a random drawing for 116 elk licenses was held. Of those, 21 were awarded for antlered or bull elks and 95 for antlerless or cow elk. The raffle for licenses raised $157,150 for the Keystone Elk Country Alliance, all of which will stay in Pennsylvania to benefit the state’s elk. A total of 27,592 hunters had applied for the $10 license, and this provided $275,920 for the PGC’s Game Fund that will benefit wildlife.

WCO Kreider also reported that a new osprey nest has turned up in Northampton County south of Rt. 22, the part of the district he covers.

He said many hunters ask him about hunting seasons and bag limits, and he advises them to consult the Pa. Game Commission’s Hunting Digest.

Asked about the number of whitetail deer fawns he has seen, Kreider said he has seen several deer, and all too often those that are road-killed. PennDOT usually picks up deer that are killed by motorists, but he said if he gets a report, he will pick them up, too.

One delegate noted that he saw a fat doe recently, indicating that they are giving birth to deer at a later date than usual.

Norman Graver reported that the staff of the Northampton County Junior Conservation School is already publicizing the July 2016 program in an effort to get more students. Only 16 were in this year’s school, at a cost of more than $800 each. The next NCJCS meeting will be Monday, Sept. 14 at the Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center starting at 7 p.m.

State and Division Delegate Lee Marsh reported that there are 36 game, 68 firearms, and 26 environmental bills in the Pa. Legislature right now.

The Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs recently had a sixminute video produced about the PFSC and how it benefits outdoors men and women. Area clubs are welcome to view it. The local Federation was given 20 copies, so it is readily available.

Call Federation, president Mike Topping at 610-867-2137 or secretary Bill Halbfoerster at 610428-1965 if you would like to borrow a flash drive of the video for your meeting.

Moore history submitted by DICK GABLE There are those who claim that the Emmanualsville Church was established in 1723, although some historians who dispute this, it is clear the church community was among the earliest in the region. Several preachers, including Moravians, would travel throughout the frontier and hold impromptu services as they went.

So, it is impossible to determine exactly when the Emmanualsville congregation first met.

We do know: The oldest readable tombstone is that of Nicholas Heil, dated November 14, 1760.

• The oldest existing church record book dates back to 1765.

• A deed from 1765 mentions both a church and schoolhouse on the property.

• By 1776, the building used as the original church was in such a state of dilapidation that services could no longer be held there.

It is reasonable to suggest that the log building was built before any of the dates that prove the church's existence. Until 1969, the church served both the Lutheran and Reformed congregations. It is now home to Emmanuel's Lutheran Church.

• Christ UCC, it is also known

as "Little Moore" was founded in 1830. Salem Church in Moorestown built a new church and contributed its log church, and it was dismantled in 1829, and reassembled at the present site of Christ UCC, some seven miles to the west. Salem became known as "Big Moore," and this church became known as "Little Moore."

It was also known as "Dieters Church."

• Daniel Kleckner (1797-1869) was the grandson of the original immigrant, Anton Kleckner.

Daniel owned two grist mills in

Aug. 27-Sept. 2, 2015 7 the area. He was contracted by Lehigh County to construct the stone arch bridge over the Jordan Creek at Hamilton Street in Allentown. Daniel was postmaster in Klecknersville from 18451858. He built his colonial style house in 1835. The house features five fireplaces and a brick bread oven.

• The Point Phillips Hotel was built on a property that was warranted in 1749 to Nicholas Heil.

the first one was destroyed. It was operating as a tavern as early as 1798. In 1820, Phillip Gross purchased the property and operated the hotel. It is for Philip's tavern that the area became known as "Point Phillip.” Rumor has it that the Chubbsville house had a small spring running through the tavern in the basement, and it was used for a water supply.

The Salem Church was founded in 1772. The original log church, located across the street from the current church, was dismantled in 1829, and sold to Little Moore congregation as mentioned above. In commemoration of the church's 100th anniversary in 1872, the steeple was added, featuring a 700 lb. bell. In 1970 the

Sandy’s Husband Gets Saved!

Last week I told about Sandy’s miracle healing—how the Lord recently healed her broken knee cap. This week I want to share about an even greater miracle—how the Lord used that miracle to bring Paul, Sandy’s husband, into a genuine experience of salvation. Paul had seen the xrays, and he knew that there was no medical explanation for Sandy’s healing. He knew that he had witnessed a miracle that proved that Jesus is the Son of God Who is alive today, and He wanted to have a personal relationship with Him! The second time Paul attended our church, he was ready to surrender his life to Jesus as His Lord and Savior. When I invited people to come forward to pray, Paul came and knelt at the altar. He told me He wanted to get saved. I invited others to join with us in prayer, and I led Paul in a sinner’s prayer asking Jesus to come into his life. As we earnestly prayed, the glory of the Lord fell upon us and God fulfilled His promise, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). Paul told us that as he prayed, he felt the presence of the Lord fall upon him like heat waves. It was a glorious salvation experience! When Paul got up from the altar, he was overwhelmed with an awesome joy and peace just as the Bible promises in Galatians 5:22, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…”

After getting saved, Paul visited the Vietnam Wall Memorial in Bath that Sunday afternoon. He had always felt immense feelings of hatred against our government for the way he and many of his veteran buddies had been treated, but to his surprise, that anger was gone! He only experienced love! He found himself bowing his head and saying “I forgive you” to our government!

Paul says that he used to fear religious ridicule, but now he does not care what others say or think about him. He knows for himself that Jesus is the Son of God, the Healer and Savior of the world!

Gotham City, was home to Batman. Take a look at the Nazareth Furniture building on the Belvidere Street side, up at the top.

Who knows what is hidden in the basement of that building?

• In the 18th century, the land between Bethlehem and Nazareth was called the Dry Lands, or Drylands. There were few streams in the area, and only a few small springs. Any wells dug had to be very deep, and they still often went dry during the summer. Inhabitants often traveled several miles to get water, using special wagons to bring it home.

• The second site of the Nazareth Fairground was at the intersection of the Bath and Bethlehem Pikes (now 248 and 191).

The fair was located there from 1900 until 1930 when it was decided the fair was no longer profitable. The final celebration included two days of automobile races.

• Nazareth’s oldest surviving public school faced North Broad Street at Chestnut, with an imposing entrance and a wing to the north that matched the one on the south. In 1921 the north wing was condemned, which prompted the building of the school on Belvidere Street. The north wing was later demolished.

• Famous Nazareth Resident: Christian Frederick Martin, founder of C. F. Martin & Co. (The Martin Guitar Company), who moved his business from New York City to the Nazareth area in 1838. The highly revered company is the world’s oldest surviving manufacturer of guitars.

The company is now run by the sixth generation of the Martin family.

Letter to the Editor

by ARLEAN LILLY, Point Phillip A Gift for All:

Having a brother serve in the Marines for four years during the Vietnam War brought extreme fear and sadness into our home every day, especially when the evening news came on TV and we saw the horrors of war day after day.

Although physically wounded, unlike several of his platoon who lost their lives that day, my brother got to come home.

It has been a goal of mine to visit the Vietnam Memorial with him in Washington, however that has not yet happened.

When I learned the scouts were bringing the traveling wall to Moore Township, I made arrangements for us to meet there. Together we found the names of his fallen friends as I also found classmates names. I visited the wall again the following day with my brother-in-law who is a WWII Vet. It was humbling to ALL - veterans, seniors, parents, children – a feeling that can’t be taught in classrooms.

Thank you to the scouts, the sponsors, and the volunteers for making this experience possible. What a GREAT way to serve the community and enable citizens to properly honor these Veterans. I could not be more proud of our scouts, our community, our Veterans, and our country. God Bless America!

by Tony Androckitis (@TonyAndrock_TCG) It was a rookie season to forget for former Union College defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere in 2014-15.

Following a two-game NHL stint with the Philadelphia Flyers in October – his first NHL action – Gostisbehere tore his ACL upon his return to the American Hockey League with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in November. The injury that caused him to miss the entire season and limited him to a total of just seven pro games last season.

The ACL injury that required surgery also forced Gostisbehere into a rigorous and tedious rehabilitation – one that took the better part of a year to fully complete.

“It was a lot of repetition,” Gostisbehere said of his off-ice rehab. “It’s the same thing every day almost. You just have to focus on the positives. If you have a good day, take that nicely because some days aren’t the best.

You have to keep pushing on.”

While Gostisbhere began skating on his own towards the tail end of last season, it wasn’t until after the Phantoms’ season had ended that he was cleared for contact and 100% ready to get back into the swing of things.

“We have a lot of new faces around here,” Gostisbehere said at development camp in July.

“It’s good to get back on the ice with them and bond off the ice as well.”

His full participation at this summer’s Flyers development camp was just the first step towards getting back on the ice for a game.

“I’m just chomping at the bit here a little bit,” Gostisbehere said. “It’s definitely exciting to get back out there,” he added, noting he hasn’t played in a game in over nine months.

Now feeling 100% healthy, the next step for Gostisbehere is to compete against his teammates in the organization at training camp in September.

“I’m just excited to drop the puck and get it going,” Gostisbehere reiterated. “I think I’ll be a little timid at first, but once I get out there it will just be in the past.”
