Bus tour a major part of Moore Township’s 250th anniversary

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

A tour of historic landmarks will be given by the Moore Township Historical Commission during the township’s 250th anniversary celebration later this month.

For the first time in Moore Township history, a guided bus tour is planned for Saturday, August 29 and Sunday, August 30.

Times of the tours each day are Noon, 2:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m., leaving from the Moore Township Recreation Center at 635 English Road.

Tickets are $5 for adults, and children 12 and under are free when accompanied by a paying adult, based on seating availability.

A stop at the Edelman oneroom schoolhouse along Longley Road will also be included on the tour. Members of the historical commission will be available to give a brief history and answer questions.

Edelman One of 12 It was one of 12 one-room schoolhouses in the Moore Township and East Allen Township area and closed in 1958.

These schools were all consolidated as part of the Northampton Area School District and a new Moore Township Consolidated Elementary School was built on ten acres of land along Rt. 946.

According to a dialogue by Mary Ann Unangst in a book

The weather couldn’t have been any better. The Monocacy Creek was flowing very well from recent rains and there was a big crowd on hand.

What more could the Bath Business & Community Partnership ask than this for their Great Bath Duck Race on Friday afternoon? It was a perfect day, and the BBCP had a tub holding hundreds of multi-colored plastic ducks, for which the public paid $5.00 each as a fundraiser for the Bath Farmers Market.

The committee had sheets of numbers from which to pick a lucky duck. People signed up at the market grounds in Keystone Park and at the site of the race

along the creek.

Promptly at 5:30 p.m., waddle time, the big tub of ducks was dumped in the waters and Darren Heckman and his wife, Carol Bear-Heckman waded in the cool waters by the Main Street bridge, eagerly awaiting the ducks and ready to place them in a box with numbers indicating the number of prizes to be awarded. The crowd of men, women and children gathered along the creekside and watched, many holding up checkered flags that were handed out as they rooted for their lucky duck in the race.

After the race was over, members of BBCP and the public went over to Keystone Park, where Mrs. Heckman and BBCP Continued on page 2

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

The rules!

By DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Make no mistake about it: health has rules. Following the rules allows for good health.

Breaking the rules can lead to sickness. Of course, this is a generalization as a host of other factors and various unknowns come into play regarding overall health. Many illnesses, disorders and health crisis are overwhelming and can be misunderstood by doctors.

All that being said, rules are rules. When I was younger, I snuck my father’s car out of the garage underage. I didn’t get in an accident, however I was disciplined and grounded. There were consequences.

Some aren’t as lucky when breaking rules with significant consequences. The ones that come to mind are smoking, drinking and too much sugar consumption. A single cigarette will probably not harm you, but smoking and drinking over a few years definitely can.

Rules are rules. Sometimes we all break them. Given each of our situations and throw in a luck factor and there can be various outcomes. Sometimes there appears to be no rhyme or reason.

So, what are the rules? That’s where frustration and confusion start to set in. The simple answer is to think right, move right and eat right. This is pretty easy in theory but extremely difficult in practice. If you have been a reader of this ongoing column, I suggest that you browse through the archived columns at www.drclearie. com to gain more insight. I hope these articles get you thinking about health and wellness.

This is a short piece, and leaves much to the imagination on what rules you should be following. This is a soul-searching type of inquiry. Many would have you believe that some synthetic supplement, exercise program or high-tech gadget is going to be the answer, I think a lot more

"A-Treat has long been a staple of Jaindl family events, so I am thrilled to be part of its return.

The decision to get involved was in large measure because of customer support and loyalty to the brand throughout the community and the region," said Adam Jaindl, Jaindl Companies. "So we are honoring that by adding our brand loyalists' flavors to the mix."

"Jaindl Companies is pleased to be able to incorporate customer input when considering additional flavors to be manufactured, as is the case with the overwhelmingly popular Orange Cream," said Luke Jaindl, Jaindl Companies.

Seven ways to work on a team

I met a self-proclaimed entrepreneur this week. When I asked him what he does, he replied “online stuff.” I’m not quite sure what “online stuff” means exactly, but it seems to imply that he is either not successful or isn’t willing to share with me what he does for a living.

If he is into online stuff, wouldn’t I be a potential buyer?

Then the conversation turned to how he doesn’t like to work with people, preferring the online market. Can we be successful without other people? My guess is that it’s possible, but not probable.

Over the weekend, my granddaughter told me that she was on a team at school. When she arrived for the first meeting, she realized that all the other members were close friends, and she wasn’t a friend with any of them yet.

At this young age, she realized she needed to find her fit on the team. That’s pretty intuitive for a school kid. She shot them ideas and they began working together.

The results speak for themselves; they all got straight As. Here are seven ways to become part of the team: • Lose the ego and the “me.”

• Turn up your listening skills.

• Envision the results and how everyone can contribute to achieve them.

• Zero in on each member’s individual strengths.

• Offer to go the extra mile.

• Value each member.

• Identify the leader.

People are often critical when a business succeeds. This week in Bath, I was eating at a local restaurant and was greeted warmly by the owner, the same thing happened at a bank in the community. I shopped at the Bath Farmers Market and enjoyed how friendly all of the vendors were and even won a prize in the famous duck race. People matter, your customers matter and when you work on a team you increase your value and reputation.

submitted by RONALD YOUNG The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 5 announced late last week PA 145 (Riverview Drive) will be resurfaced in Walnutport Borough and Lehigh Township in Northampton County. The work began on Monday, Aug. 3.

The pavement improvement project is financed with state funds from Pennsylvania’s transportation plan, Act 89. The project includes tree trimming, road base repairs, road milling and paving, shoulder and guiderail upgrades and new pavement markings on PA 145 between PA 248 (Lehigh Drive) and the PA 145 Bridge (Treichlers Bridge) over the Lehigh River.

As road improvements continue, motorists will face lane closures from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., Monday through Friday. Crews may work weekends if there is inclement weather during the week.

Motorists are reminded to be alert for these operations, to obey work zone signs, and to slow down when approaching and traveling through work zones.

These precautions are not only for their safety, but for the safety of the road crews.

Popple Construction, Inc. of Laflin, PA is the general contractor on the $2,843,925 project.

All work is expected to be complete in October.

The average daily traffic vol-

National Guard news

submitted by State Rep. Marcia Hahn Following the tragic deaths of five military personnel at two military installations in Tennessee, more than 100 House members signed a letter urging Gov. Tom Wolf to allow Pennsylvania National Guard recruiters and personnel to carry firearms in the performance of their duties.

The letter also requests that Adj. Gen. Jim Joseph authorize the Pennsylvania National Guard recruiters to carry firearms, by making such firearms eligible under “uniform of the day” practices and policies.

Currently, six state governors have authorized similar practices since the tragic deaths, and more governors are expected to issue similar directives.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip With all the things going on this summer, like I talked about last week, I forgot about the big Martin on Main event over Nazareth way on Saturday. It sure is great to hear the guitar music that comes out of there. A big crowd was on hand at the circle and on streets of downtown Nazareth to hear it. They’ve been doing it for eight years now, and it seems to get better every year. The Nazareth-Bath Area Chamber of Commerce is the big sponsor, so hats off to them and the folks at Martin Guitar, too! . . . . Here in town the BBCP put on another great duck race. The weather was terrific and a nice crowd was there to watch all those little duckies float along. I didn’t win a prize, but it didn’t matter. Everybody had a fun time. The farmers’ market benefited from the race. With all the fruits and vegetables now being harvested, there was plenty for people to choose from at the market and there were lots of people shopping for ‘em, and all the other goodies they have over there. . . .Sweet corn and baked potato on the grill, along with a juicy steak, was one of the favorites on the back yard menu that had folks drooling over the weekend . . . . This Saturday, for dessert, Elmira and I will head up to Moorestown for some peach pie and ice cream. . . . Betty Fields has had more major surgery and is over at Gracedale right now.

Let’s all give her a get-well card

shower to cheer her up. . . .Good to see that real estate mogul and turkey farmer Dave Jaindl has kept the A-Treat soda business alive in the Valley. Never knew they had so many flavors, but cream is my favorite, with root beer second. Just don’t drink all that soda while downing a load of popcorn. That didn’t sit too well with me in my young’un days. . . . Well, all good things come to an end. The Phillies lost their final game after beating the Braves in three out of four, for a 12-3 record after the All Star Game, and on Tuesday they went head to head with those L.A. Dodgers and former teammate Jimmy Rollins. Mets fans are jumping with joy now that they’ve tied the Nationals for first place in the NL East. . . Couple fishing buddies of mine went over to Leaser Lake when they saw that picture in the paper last week. They caught a 30-some inch muskie, I hear. . . . Elmira, will you please make another batch of iced tea?

It’s humid again! Groan!

Financing makes Dream Come True For new owner submtited by JOE MCDERMOTT Lehigh Financial Group has made a dream come true for a Nazareth native by finding the financing to help her purchase the popular Bethlehem salon she has managed for the past three years.

Allison Johnson closed July 1 on Blink 27, a full-service salon located at 60 W. Broad St. in Bethlehem, said Jeff Barber of Lehigh Financial Group. Johnson, who has managed the salon for the past three years, purchased the business after her former boss decided to sell and move on to other opportunities. “Allison was probably the best person to purchase this business. She knows it inside and out,” said Barber, who helped Johnson arrange financing through a Government guaranteed Small Business Administration 7a loan to finalize the purchase. “These types of loans are often difficult to do because there is usually no collateral, other than the business. Without the SBA loan she probably would not have been able to do it, even though she had money saved and was able to make the down payment.”

Johnson, a Nazareth High School graduate who attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania as a business major before deciding to attend cosmetology school, said owning her own business is a dream she has had since high school. “When I was in high school my guidance counselor helped me attend the Pennsylvania Free Enterprise week program and that’s when I realized that I wanted to someday own my own business,” Johnson said. “It took me a while but I am now where I want to be.” Blink 27 opened in 2011 and offers a full range of salon services, including hair styling, nails, waxing, massages and facials. The business employs 10 full and part time people and four additional free-lancers, Johnson said.

Bath Lions Midget Football Association item on the agenda was addressed by members of the association and members of Council. It regarded payment of electrical costs for the refreshment stand and the lighting at Ciff Cowling Field. Although voices were raised on a number of points, in the end both Council and Bath Lions Midget Football ratified an agreement, which was read by Parks & Recreation chairperson Councilwoman Jennifer George.

In effect, the association will pay $1,065 in electrical costs generated over the period between February and June of this year. Randy Roberts, a past president of the association, said early on that they have not had the opportunity to budget for the fees that the borough was charging, which included $75 a football game.

Roberts said that all the buildings down at the field were paid by the association (an estimated $100,000). Council president Mark Saginario said the borough wanted to get inside the building, but were unable to, with Roberts noting that keys were provided. Still, Saginario said they didn’t work.

Roberts said they can only make so much money every year since they were organized well over 20 years ago. Saginario replied that the borough can’t afford all the money ($40,000) that is needed to upkeep the parks, and fees were chosen rather than raising taxes for all residents. Council vice president Carol Bear-Heckman said Council looks at the fee schedule every year and it can be negotiated.

Mrs. George said the Lions paid the electric bill for the snack stand in 2012 through 2014, but not for 2015. The association also has a security system for protection of its equipment.

Saginario admitted there was no

Roberts said it costs $15,000 to $20,000 a year to pay for uniforms and equipment for the football team and cheerleaders, and credits the program like theirs for keeping children out

ball teams and four cheerleading squads.

Councilman Mike Reph questioned if all the players and cheerleaders are Bath residents. Most are, Chris Green said, but some come from other municipalities.

Reph also said lights were still on after practice at 10:00 or 11:00 at night. This was confirmed by Councilman Fenstermaker, who lives near Ciff Cowling Field.

As noted, Mrs. George said it cost $40,000 for the parks last year, and the borough received only $2,000 in rental fees. Roberts and Green expressed a desire to work together with the association and its members, and Saginario felt that they could with better communication. Mrs. George said they would like to achieve a partnership with the Lions people. “I do care for the kids and the borough,” she said, noting that her children are involved in sports. She complimented the Lions for their work on roof repairs. “It was fantastic,” she said.

Green suggested a multiple key system that would protect the Lions and Legion equipment, while Saginario and Borough Manager Brad Flynn suggested a card key

Councilwoman Michele Ehrgott asked if the association had sought any grants. They did, but there was no response, Green said. Mrs. George also said that local businesses could place donor cans on their counters and people could donate in helping to raise money.

When it was noted that one monthly electric bill was $136 and there was no use of power, Saginario said they’ve been trying for months to find out why it costs so much. The meter apparently has been acting erratically when appliances are even turned

St. Luke’s University Health Network Announces clinical Collaboration with CVS Health Collaboration To Improve Access To Care, Enhance Care Coordination And Improve Health Outcomes submitted by DENISE RADER St. Luke’s University Health Network has entered into an agreement with CVS Health to enhance patient care and community wellness in the region.

The affiliation allows for the clinical collaboration with CVS/ pharmacy and MinuteClinic, the retail clinic inside many CVS/ pharmacy locations.

To help patients coordinate care between physicians and pharmacy care services, CVS/ pharmacy and MinuteClinic will provide St. Luke’s with prescription and visit information through secured integration of electronic health records (EHR) with the patient’s consent. The affiliation with CVS Health aims to ultimately improve patient adherence to their medications and patient health outcomes through better coordination of care.

“Prescription management can be a challenge for many patients – especially those with chronic diseases and who may be prescribed multiple medications,” said Jeffrey A. Jahre, MD, Senior Vice President for Medical Affairs, St. Luke’s University Heath Network. “There are many common conditions where a single missed dose may negatively affect patients. Among these are diabetes, high blood pressure, heart dis-

ease, depression, clotting disorders or asthma. Overall, patients fare much better when medications are taken as directed, and now we’ll have better insight on whether or not a patient is taking their medications as prescribed.”

As patient’s preferences for where and how they seek health care continue to evolve, St. Luke’s will continue to identify opportunities to ensure that high-quality, cost-effective care is well coordinated, regardless of where it is delivered. This commitment will ultimately result in a healthier community.

About St. Luke’s University Health Network: St. Luke’s is comprised of six hospitals, including St. Luke’s University Hospital – Bethlehem, St. Luke’s Allentown Campus, St. Luke’s Anderson Campus (Bethlehem Township), St. Luke’s Miners Campus (Coaldale), St. Luke’s Quakertown

Campus, all in Pennsylvania, and St. Luke’s Warren Campus in Phillipsburg, NJ. St. Luke’s Hospital-Monroe Campus will be the seventh hospital in St. Luke’s University Health Network and will be located in Bartonsville, PA. St. Luke’s University Health Network is a nonprofit, regional, fully integrated, nationally recognized Network providing services at more than 200 sites in Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, Schuylkill, Bucks, Montgomery, Berks and Monroe counties in Pennsylvania and also in Warren County, New Jersey.

Goumas searching for strong second season with Phantoms

Kevin Goumas is excited to be back for 2015-16, but knows he has to earn his spot on the Phantoms' roster.

by Tony Androckitis (@TonyAndrock_TCG) As the calendar hits August, free agents begin to feel the heat.

Most training camps start early in September and going into camp on a tryout basis is anything but ideal. That won’t be the case for forward Kevin Goumas, who has re-signed with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on a oneyear American Hockey League contract.

“We had some ongoing talks throughout the whole summer pretty much,” Goumas said of

his contract negotiations with the Philadelphia Flyers’ top minor league affiliate. “We were able to sign and get something done so I can get back. I had a very good experience last year. It’s a great place to be so I’m glad to get back there.”

Goumas posted six goals and 11 assists in 63 games with the Phantoms last season – his rookie season at the professional level following up four years of collegiate hockey at the University of New Hampshire.

“The first year is always the hardest year,” Goumas said of

adjusting to pro hockey. “You’re a rookie, you’re trying to get your feet wet and things aren’t coming as easy as they did at the previous level.”

Now that Goumas knows what to expect as he heads into his second full season of AHL hockey, he’s hoping to enjoy success in his sophomore campaign much like his teammate and roommate from last season, Nick Cousins, did. Cousins doubled his scoring production from his rookie year to his second year, finishing in the top 25 in the league’s scoring race last season – something Goumas is hoping to replicate in the 201516 season.

“His second year was just above and beyond,” Goumas said of his good friend Cousins. “I think there’s a big difference between coming in for your first year and your second year. Hopefully I can build off of my first year and take things to the next level.”

While Goumas is under contract for next season, he still has his work cut out for him when training camp opens in the fall.

On an AHL-only contract like newly signed Pavel Padakin, Goumas will battle for a roster spot on the Phantoms alongside at least 13 other forwards - all on NHL contracts – in addition to any other depth players the Phantoms sign the rest of the summer.

“Nothing is secure here, you have to go in and be ready to compete,” Goumas said of his current situation with the Phan-

toms. “If you go in and work hard you know good things will come out of it. If not, you have to get your things back together

and regroup. All you can do is work hard and hope it all falls into place.”

Pieces of Nazareth History Celebrating Nazareth’s 275th Anniversary submitted by the History Committee: • A rainstorm on July 9, 1945 caused flooding at Borough Park, bursting a dam at the western end. Girl Scouts camping at Henry’s Woods (now Jacobsburg) were stranded when the creek overflowed.

• During World War II, the government encouraged families to plant Victory Gardens to grow produce for their own use as part of the war effort. Some of these patriotic gardens were planted at Mauch Chunk and Wood Streets, on the west end of Nazareth.

• “The Blue Room” was a popular location for teenagers in the early 1940s. Located on the second floor of Murphy’s 5 and 10 cent store at 25 Belvidere St., the dances attracted teens, including many who walked into Nazareth from the surrounding towns and townships.

• George Whitefield never set foot on the Nazareth property while he owned it. He made his one and only visit to Nazareth on July 27, 1746. He approved of what he saw, and as he left, he said, “Can any good come out of Nazareth? Come and see.”

• For almost 25 years, the mascot of Allentown’s Dieruff High School has been a resident of Nazareth. Kiska, a Siberian husky, lives with a Dieruff teacher (now retired) who lives in Nazareth. The current Kiska is the fifth husky to serve as the representative of the school’s “Husky Pride.”

• During the summer of 1746 an epidemic of smallpox infected many of the children living in the nursery at the Whitefield House.

Those who died were buried in the Indian Graveyard.

• The small building at the corner of Jacobsburg Road and Rose Inn Avenue was the Union School. For many years after it ceased to be a school, it housed an antique business as The Little Red Schoolhouse.

• The Bible Fellowship Home purchased the Conrad Miller home and property (corner of E. Center and New Sts.) in 1964 and opened their retirement facility in 1968. In 1984 they demolished the Miller home. The facility was sold to Alexandria Manor in 2003 and later expanded.

• Under Bill Boandl’s direction of the NAHS Blue Eagles Marching Band, “Nazareth” came to be synonymous with “excellence.”

They won over 200 competition trophies in his 21 years as band director, almost all of them first place, including a Grand National Championship. He died, all too soon, on August 1, 2014.

Wahoo, Mr. B, we miss you.

• Before watches (or cell phones) were common, there was the town clock. Even if you couldn’t see the clock, usually installed in a tower, you could hear the bells. One bell chimed the hours, and a smaller bell chimed the quarter hours. Listen carefully to the clock at the Nazareth Moravian Church for a small ding at 15 minutes past the hour, two dings at half past, three at quarter to the hour, and four dings on the hour.

• There was a school in Nazareth as early as 1743, when two men, one woman, and ten boys walked from Bethlehem to Nazareth to begin a school in the Gray Cottage.

Did John Go To Heaven?

Recently I conducted the funeral of my close friend, John, a dedicated Christian believer who began attending our congregation in January of 1975. He owned and operated a drywall company. Although it was 40 years ago, I remember when John privately met with me about a spiritual problem and we prayed together. He asked the Lord to forgive him of his sins, and he dedicated his life to fully serve Jesus Christ his Savior.

The Lord did a great work in his life and gave him a deep desire to help reach others for the Lord. I’ll share just a few examples of how the Lord used John to be a great blessing to our congregation over the years.

One of the first things John did in his service to the Lord was to encourage me to start this "Pastor's Comments" newspaper column ministry in 1975. He told me that I needed to put the Word of God that I was preaching in the pulpit into the newspapers, and he paid for it for years.

When we built our church in 1977-78 John had his crews install, finish, and paint the drywall. John paid for the TV2 (Service Electric) ads which He encouraged me to write and the three billboards that he encouraged me to design (see http://www.naog.ws). He paid for the billboards to be located in various places in the Lehigh Valley. There are many other things that John did to advance the work of God including the thousands of dollars he gave to help other churches in our area and many other gospel ministries around the world. He faithfully served Jesus Christ, His Lord and Savior!

John knew he needed Jesus to save him from his sins just as is true for everyone. John went to heaven not because he was a generous giver to the work of the Lord, (which he was) but because he trusted Jesus to save him from his sins! I believe as he entered heaven Jesus said to him, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord" (Matthew 25:21).

Talent crunch puts Greater emphasis On relocation, Flexible programs submitted by SUE KAUFFMAN Amidst tougher competition for the best and brightest employees, 60 percent of companies say that relocation policy benefits are critical to recruiting talent. Yet an alarming majority of companies still pursue outdated workforce mobility practices that put them at risk of losing the very talent they’re investing in.

These were some of the key findings of the latest survey by Weichert Workforce Mobility Inc., a global leader in the deployment and management of mobile talent. Multidimensional Views on Workforce Mobility is Weichert’s ninth annual survey to identify the top relocation challenges and trends and offer best practice recommendations. This year’s results are based on the input of 170 corporate relocation managers at North American companies across all major industries.

Reflecting the title of this year’s study, results show corporate relocation managers waging the war for talent on several fronts, and balancing the need to provide the benefits necessary to attract and retain top talent with an unrelenting pressure to control costs. Forty percent of companies expect their relocation volume to increase over the next 12 months, underscoring its importance to business growth.

Reducing cost was the most commonly cited driver of the changes companies made to their relocation programs over the past year. In fact, “controlling relocation spend” was the number one reason cited for the wider adoption of flexible relocation programs, which include temporary, rotational and commuter assignments, lump sums and extended business travel.

These programs not only offer less costly alternatives to “traditional” assignments, but also make relocation appealing to a wider range of employees and keep talent more readily deployable as new opportunities arise.

“When it comes to workforce mobility, the mantra is, ‘be flexible, but be cost-conscious, too,’” said Jennifer Connell, North American Practice Leader for Weichert’s Advisory Services group and architect of the survey.

“When managed right, flexible programs allow companies to be both.”

Unfortunately, some companies’ efforts to balance flexibility and cost control miss the mark.

WE’VE BEEN SERVING OUR COMMUNITY SINCE

1985 This October, our sister publication,

the Blue Mountain Town & Country Gazette,

Seventy percent of respondents said they provide lump sums to entry-level employees, a practice Connell finds ill-advised.

“This places responsibility for the move on the demographic that is often least experienced with managing their own funds, which ends up costing you more in the long run while literally risking your future leaders,” said Connell. “It’s very telling that despite the widespread usage of lump sums, only 50 percent thought they actually met the needs of their employees and only 33 percent thought lump sums helped drive their talent management strategy.”

Drawing on the results of this year’s survey and her own experience consulting with HR leaders, Connell offered additional strategies for optimizing workforce mobility: • Provide mobile employees with the best available tools and resources to expedite their moves instead of making them figure it out on their own, which inevitably burns time and money.

• Employ flexible programs to build a suite of solutions that accommodate every segment of your mobile workforce.

• Build a solid talent pipeline and reduce recruiting costs by using internships and engaging millennials in rotational assignments.

• Use data to optimize your program; 68 percent of companies don’t track their employees’ willingness to relocate and only 38% use retention rates to measure the value of workforce mobility to their organizations.

Moore Township takes its name from John Moore, who lived near Philadelphia during the early days of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The township was incorporated in 1765.
