Mako offers thoughts on Governor’s budget proposal

Rep. Zach Mako

Submitted by TRACY POLOVICK Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/ Northampton) issued the following statement in response to Gov. Tom Wolf ’s $33 billion budget proposal: “Last year was an eye-opening experience to the state budget process. After all of our hard work to eliminate a budget deficit and finalize a plan without any broad-based tax increases, it is disheartening to see the governor propose a budget that increases spending by $1 billion. We should be focused on keeping money in taxpayers’ pockets, not taking it away.

“Pennsylvania government, like you and I, must live within our means. Our families cannot sustain spending more than our paychecks allow. Likewise, Pennsylvania government must stop spending more than it generates. Taxes in this Commonwealth already are too onerous. We need to be focused on lower taxes, not adding taxes. “As we work through the budget process, I look forward to studying the governor’s plan in detail. I will continue to keep a sharp eye on our state’s spending habits. I remain committed to economic opportunity for all, educating our children for success,

making government more effective and efficient, and improving the safety and quality of life for our citizens. Our final budget must reflect these priorities and move Pennsylvania forward in order to be competitive nationally and globally.” The 183rd District includes South Whitehall (part), Washington and Whitehall (part) townships and Slatington Borough in Lehigh County. It also consists of Allen, Lehigh and Moore (part) townships, and North Catasauqua, Northampton and Walnutport boroughs in Northampton County.

(NAPSI)— According to a recent U.S. Census report, 19 percent of the population identifies as having a disability. If you or someone you care about is ever among them, a survey by Harris Poll may intrigue you. That’s because it found a strong desire among homebuyers with special needs for real estate sales associates who are trained in, and knowledgeable about, accessible housing. Among active homebuyers who either have disabilities or live with someone who does, one in four indicated it’s absolutely essential their real estate professional is knowledgeable about accessible housing. The Problem The survey also revealed about half have a difficult time finding a home that fits their family’s unique needs. It also found most home-buyers with disabilities rated the average real estate professional’s knowledge of accessible housing with a grade level of C or below. An Answer To meet the demand, the CENTURY 21 System offers its independent brokers and affiliated agents a Persons With Disabilities Learning Program. It provides access to information and resources on accessible housing and universal design for persons with disabilities. It’s a part of the company’s longstanding relationship with Easter Seals, the leading nonprofit

provider of services for individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, physical disabilities and other special needs. Helpful Hints Whatever your abilities, before deciding on a house, it’s wise to consider your lifestyle, current and anticipated housing needs, and budget. Create a prioritized list of features you want in your new home. Finding the right house involves striking a balance between your must-haves and your nice-to-haves.For example, if you love to cook, you’ll appreciate a well-equipped kitchen. If you’re into gardening, you’ll want a yard. If a home office is a must, you’ll need room for adequate work space. If you have several cars, you may require a large

garage. Next, think about what you might need in the future, and how long you are likely to live in this particular home. If you’re newly married, you might not be concerned with a school district right now, but you could be in a few years. If you have aging parents, you may want to look at homes that offer living arrangements that could accommodate them as well.

Six ways to love at your business This week hosts one big holiday, Valentine’s Day. As with all holidays, for some it will be a huge day packed full of roses, delightful dinners, chocolate or maybe even a get-away. For others it will be just another day. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as “scrap.” Today, according to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest cardsending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.) And, women purchase approximately 85 per-

cent of all valentines. At your business, is it just another day every single day or are there days when your customers feel special? Creating a love connection between your business and your customers can generate a word of mouth epidemic and that’s beyond priceless.

SIX WAYS TO CREATE LOVE AT YOUR BUSINESS:

1. Genuinely interact - spend time with them- beyond just selling. 2. Be an active listener - make sure they see you care. 3. Build trust - if something goes wrong with a customer, they

will believe in you. 4. Express gratitude - always show appreciation for their patronage. 5. Read their signals - if you see they are not interested in talking, move on. 6. Be loyal - be loyal to them, too, if they have a service you can use, do it. Walt Disney said it best: “Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.” Creating love between your company and your customers can help scale a positive word of mouth and that’s absolutely priceless. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your valued customers.

News Sermonette by Franklin L. Homme

Goal

One of my wife’s favorite television programs is The Amazing Race. When they first started I watched a couple of times. It’s about 10 couples who are sent to a foreign country where they must race, via trains, buses, cabs, bikes and feet, from one point to another to get their instructions for their next challenge. The goal is for one couple to get to the designated finishing point before everyone else, and the prize is $1 million. We set our goals for the new year. When you read the scripture, apostle Paul compared the Christmas life to a race and admitted he had not yet arrived to the finish line. “Brothers and sisters,” he said, “I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and standing I press toward the goal to win the prize.” (Philippians 3:13-14). Paul did not look back and allow his past failures to weigh him down with guilt, nor did he let the present successes make him complacent. He pressed on towards the goal of becoming more like Jesus. Paul also expressed a deep sense of personal gratitude. He knew he didn’t understand the ways and judgment of God. (Rom. 14:24). So while doing everything he could to proclaim the gospel to all, he found peace and joy in busting the heart of a God who loves the whole world so much more than we ever could. We are running this race too. Despite our past failures or successes, let us keep pressing on toward the ultimate goal of becoming more like Jesus. We are racing for an earthly prize, but for the ultimate reward of enjoying Him forever. (Philippians 4:11-13). (Heb. 12:1-2). We should never call it quits. There is no shortage of encouragement that God gives to us who also run the race. Some people run in marathon, our Savior provides a road clearly marked by His word, a cloud of witnesses to spur us on, and water and food stations in Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. He provides strength, along with the assurance that He will see us safely home. When life seems too much to bear, that’s when we throw ourselves on God’s mercy, and He holds on to us. What is your goal in life? Is it wealth and material riches? Remember that when we die, we lose it all. Having money is not a sin but a temptation, and material wealth brings temptation. Wealth also can bring many sorrows. Remember God has promised to supply your needs. So be content with that and be godly. (Jeremiah 29:11). Our goal should be not to see how many years we can live, but instead to live fully in loving service to the Lord for all the years we are given. What a promise! Through Jesus Christ our hearts can be filled with Joy- real joy! (John 15:11). Our God is a God of wrath. He is also the God of love. The love of God is not passive; change we receive it passively. It is active and creative. God’s love engenders love upon love which flows out from us into all chose whose lives we touch. God’s love is forgiving. To pray is the greatest thing we can do.

Bugged by the flu Or other ailments? 3 Ways Good Nutrition Protects and Heals submitted by CATHY HAYES As another flu epidemic tears through the U.S., the nation appears almost defenseless. From flu shots to healthy habits such as hand washing and covering the mouth when coughing, no remedy is infallible. One of the best bets against getting the flu, experts say, is eating healthier. Good nutrition, according to the American Dietetic Association, can help you avoid

the flu by boosting the body’s immune system. Dr. Sanda Moldovan, author of HEAL UP!: How to Repair, Rebuild and Renew Naturally (www.beverlyhillsdentalhealth. com), says the benefits of proper nutrition extend from oral health to sickness prevention and postsurgery healing. As a periodontist and nutritionist, she sees problems taking root early on. “Proper nutrition is a huge component of oral health and overall health,” says Moldovan, who has practices in Beverly Hills and Manhattan. ”Nutritional deficiencies manifest in the mouth. Redness at the corners of the mouth, a shiny, spotted or glossy tongue, burning mouth, bleeding gums, can all be signs of different vitamin and nutrient deficiencies.” Moldovan notes that many medical journal articles have related nutritional deficiencies to numerous oral health problems and general health crises such as diabetes, high blood pressure, immune system issues, and even cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), over 50 percent of Americans are deficient in vitamins A, C and D and E, as well as in calcium and potassium. “Unfortunately, most people do not get the nutrients needed from their food,” Moldovan says. ‘For example, vitamin D needs supplementation because we cannot get enough of it from food alone. Research has shown that an optimum level of vitamin D, together with a healthy diet, is a key to staying healthy during this flu season. “Good nutrition is so important in everyday life and in the healing process. There are a number of ways for a person with sub-optimal health, or who is healing after surgery or injury, to improve their condition through better nutrition.” Moldovan lists three ways to protect and heal the body with the right nutrition: Antioxidants. These combat the potential damage done by harmful cells. So try a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, which contain potent antioxidants. ”Fresh fruits and vegetables are best because cooking destroys most antioxidants,” Moldovan says. “Basically, the more colorful the foods, the more antioxidants they have. Green, leafy vegetables also con-

tain a healthy supply of minerals and chlorophyll, both of which aid in the rehabilitation process.” Mix of proteins, fats. Diets low in protein and high in sugar and animal fat can increase inflammation, Moldovan says. ”But don’t eliminate fats completely from the diet,” she says. “You should include healthy fats such as in olives, flax seed, coconut oil, nuts and avocado.” Diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in cold-water fish such as salmon and black cod, have been shown to decrease pain and inflammation. Diets too low in protein can deplete the immune system. Acid-alkaline balance. “The best tool you have for daily living and healing is the way you eat,” Moldovan says. “For instance, a diet high in sugar is acidic, whereas incorporating alkalinizing foods, such as lemons, limes and dark leafy greens combat acidity. They’re also loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.” “There’s no one-size fits-all nutritional advice anymore,” Moldovan says. “Each person has a different way of absorbing and processing vitamins and minerals. The bottom line is that food is nourishment, and it’s vital we get what we need to stay healthy, fight disease and to heal.”

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Fans of the Philadelphia Eagles are still celebrating their Super Bowl victory over the great New England Patriots. Other than that we had a one inch snowfall that was melted down by an all day rain on Sunday, so things are settling down. . . . I noticed that there was a correction about giving blood, that was printed in the Morning Call, just not by the Miller-Keystone Blood Bank. I don’t know who it would be. Anyhow, I wrote about a blood drive that WILL be held by the Masonic Lodge in Bath. I have their bulletin to prove that. It’s gonna be held on March 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. George Makoul, P.M. is in charge. That’s the Gospel truth. Call him at 484-340-2858 if you can give blood or know somebody willing to give a pint. . . . Congrats to all the college students who are making the Dean’s list at colleges around the state and elsewhere . Keep it up and by the end of your education you might get good paying jobs. . . . Tax preparers are scratching their heads figuring out taxes with the changes made by Congress. . . . I hope you gals had a nice Valentine’s Day on Wednesday. Forgot to sign up, but I gave Elmira a big hug and kisses, and she seemed happy about that. No candy or fastnachts. She’s on a diet so she can stay slim, but not as much that she can wear a bikini.

der Marrich kummt fer Geld mache, weess ken Mensch. Ich blanz mei Blumme in der Grund un die Advertisments blanz ich in der Schkraepp-kessel. -Florence Baver February 4, 1954 The other day I cleaned my kitchen cupboard. I took the old paper off the shelves. Then I cut off nice new white paper from a roll which I bought at store and put it on the shelves. Since the paper was too wide, I needed to trim off a piece. I wanted to throw those pieces away, but I said, “No, I can write my shopping lists on them.” Then my mother-in-law said, “If only we had something like that to write on when I was young. Paper was

so uncommon then, that I always gathered together the old sugar bags to use for writing lists.” Here is something to reflect on: How many a piece of nice paper is thrown in the garbage can today, which a little child always would have been so happy to have years ago. Someone just told me that her father had a store years ago. When the store was really full in that time period, in winter there were always a lot of such old fellows sitting around the stove. Many of them chewed tobacco. There was no objection to that, but some always missed the ash bucket or the spittoon. Then the store keeper needed to make signs and hang them up around the place. One of those signs read, “Don’t spit on the ceiling, we can’t find our stepladder.” Whether the groundhog saw

its shadow or not, now is the time to look over the seed catalogs, and acquire all your seed items and go through them, to see what you must sow first. Last week I got an advertisement in the mail to buy

a book called Moon Planting. No man knows what will come on the market next for someone to make money! I’ll plant my flowers in the ground and that advertisement I’ll plant in the garbage can. -Florence Baver [This is just another good example why I like using articles from Florence Baver. There are several topics alluding to rural folklife in early 20th century and one also to the frugality of the Dutch people, many of whom also came through the great depression, which, of course, heightened their tendency toward thriftiness. “Waste not,

Faith’s Patience

In Lamentations 3:26 we read, “It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” Patience is an element of faith in God, and throughout the Bible we see the importance of patience and faith. “Here is the patience and the faith of the saints” (Revelation 13:10). After proclaiming to the Jews God’s prophecies of coming judgment for their sins, Jeremiah, author of Lamentations, suffered rejection and persecution. Through these trials he learned that patience is a necessary ingredient of an expectant hope in God! Patience is, in fact, evidence of a genuine faith in God! Prior to our text, Jeremiah tells of the ridicule and mistreatment he experienced and how discouraged he had been—even feeling that God wasn’t hearing his prayers: “When I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.” He had been thrown into a horrible pit of mire and left to die. But then he says, “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.” There was no way for him to get out of that pit alive—yet God had made a way out! God caused Ebedmelech, an Ethiopian eunuch in the king’s house, to hear about it and gave him the burden to appeal to the king who commanded him to take 30 men and get Jeremiah out of the pit. Jeremiah goes on to declare, “The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.” If you will seek God and patiently wait for Him, you will find that “The Lord is good!” May we possess this faith’s patience as exampled by Jeremiah, Abraham, and others and be “followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:12).
