Deadline Approaches for Students Seeking YES Abroad Scholarships
Submitted by SARA DUBOIS The application deadline for the 2015-2016 Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Abroad scholarship program is Jan. 7, 2015. The program provides full scholarships to American high school students to experience overseas communities and cultures, preparing students to collaborate on today’s global challenges such as human rights, community development, workforce development, climate change, and global health.
Opening Soon
It won’t be long before two buildings are open for business in the Bath area. Already, construction on the Dunkin’ Donuts in Bath at Main & Walnut Sts. has been completed, equipment for the business is being installed, and landscaping has been done around the parking lot. So, look for an early January opening. . . . And then there’s the huge St. Luke’s Health Center at 6750 Beth-Bath Pike on the corner of Silver Crest Rd. & Rt. 512 just south of Bath in East Allen Township. No information is available on progress that has been made but, that building should also be opening in a very short time as well. The Lehigh Valley Health Network just up the road from there is now providing urgent care, so residents in this area should be well protected medically. – Home News photos
----------------------The YES Abroad program opened my eyes. I learned about a new culture and shared my own. I now have two homes, two families and countless friends from around the world. Hannah ----------------------Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the YES Abroad program enables students to study for one academic year in countries that may include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ghana, South Africa, India, Indonesia, Macedonia, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Philippines, Thailand, and Turkey. The merit-based scholarship covers domestic and international travel; applicable visa fees; medical benefits; room and board; tuition at the local high school; orientations; and fees for educational and cultural activities. Participants in the program
fully immerse themselves into the culture of their host family while attending local high school. Erica, a current scholarship recipient from Wisconsin, who was named the October 2014 American Abroad of the Month by the State Department, said: “My time in South Africa has given me a chance to learn from daily life in my host school, while focusing my attention outward to my host family and community. Every day I am both a student and teacher to my peers, and I have learned so much not just about what it means to be Zulu, Xhosa, or Afrikaans, but also what it means to be an American. I have found that it is in the informal conversations between classes and sport where I have learned and shared the most.” A 2012 participant, Hannah, who studied in Malaysia for one year, stated that “the YES Abroad program opened my eyes. I learned about a new culture and shared my own. I now have two homes, two families and countless friends from around the world.” Interested students should visit www.yes-abroad.org to learn more about the program and to apply. Contact the YES Abroad program at yesabroad@afsusa.org or 800-237-4636 x2151 if you have questions about the program or application process.

Judith’s Reading Room Leads Book Efforts
Submitted by Cathy Leiber For the second year in a row, Judith’s Reading Room, a literacy nonprofit, provided outstanding children’s books to families served through Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) offices in the Lehigh Valley. Most WIC families cannot afford to send their children to pre-K or daycare facilities and their children frequently start kindergarten “not ready to learn.” In collaboration with Casa Guadalupe in Allentown and Hispanic Center Lehigh Valley Continued on page 3

We all love a bargain! We all wait for the Kohl’s ‘lottery card’ to come and then we gently peel back the sticker, did I get a 15, 20 or 30% discount? If we get 30%, there’s a good chance a trip to Kohl’s is in my future. But some of us now only shop online. It’s convenient, it’s fast and I don’t have to leave home or work. And then, if they offer the beloved free shipping, we’re sold! My daughter-in-law ordered a bag online for the holiday. She ordered it on Dec. 11, seemed like enough time. On Dec. 20 it still did not arrive. When she called the company there was an hour wait (AN HOUR?) for a customer service representative. So, she waited and waited and waited. Finally... a person (or was it an auto person?) she politely told my daughter-in-law that they didn’t fill the order and that they would work on it right away. Dec. 23 comes and still no gift. Another call, another hour wait! What’s a person to do? So she gave up, printed the flyer or promise to the recipient that they will get the gift...sooner or later. But what about customer service?

Fatal Crash in Washington Township, Lehigh County
80-year-old Charles Eaches, Slatington, Pa., was killed on Friday, December 26, 2014 as a result of a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Best Station Road and Spur Road in Washington Township, Lehigh County. According to state police who responded to the incident, Eaches’ vehicle was traveling south on Spur Road. The driver of the second vehicle, Robby Micklus, 52, of Macungie, Pa., was traveling east on Best Station Road. Eaches, who was not wearing a seatbelt, failed to stop at a stop sign prior to entering Best Station Road. He crossed both lanes of travel on Best Station Road, hitting an embankment with the front of his vehicle. Micklus, who was wearing a seatbelt, struck the rear of Eaches’ vehicle, causing it to rotate clockwise, then flip onto the driver’s side of the vehicle before coming to rest facing west on Best Station Road. Micklus’ vehicle stopped facing east on Best Station Road. Fire departments and fire police from Emerald, Friedens and Slatedale, plus Northern Valley EMS, responded to the accident and attempted to extract Eaches from his vehicle and provide medical attention to him. He was, however, pronounced dead at the scene by Lehigh County Chief Deputy Coroner Andrew Kehm.

Borough of Bath Snow Emergency Procedure Source: www.bathborough.org
The Borough of Bath may find it necessary to declare a Snow Emergency during inclement weather events. Snow Emergency declarations may be publicized via television (WFMZ – Channel 69 News), radio (WAEB – 790 AM, Cat Country – 96.1 FM), the Borough website, social media or other media as is available. During the time when a Snow Emergency is in effect, no parking is permitted along the designated Snow Emergency route. Vehicles may be ticketed and/or towed. The current Snow Emergency routes in the Borough of Bath are as follows: Broad St., Christmas Avenue, East Main St., East Northampton St., North Chestnut St., South Chestnut St., Washington St., West Main St., and West Northampton St. SNOW REMOVAL TIPS FOR BOROUGH OF BATH RESIDENTS Here are some helpful tips for Borough residents to follow in order to help ease the snow removal process for both residents and Public Works personnel. It is the goal of the Borough to keep its roadways safe for residents and emergency responders during the course of the 2014/2015 winter season. How to Shovel a Driveway Apron: As you are standing in your driveway facing the street, shovel the snow to the right of your driveway. This will help the plow truck to avoid pushing the pile back into your driveway apron on the next pass. Please remember that the plow will always deposit some snow at the end of your driveway; this is unavoidable. When Should I Start Shoveling My Driveway? To avoid clearing a driveway apron repeatedly, wait until the plow truck has completed clearing the roadway curb to curb and the weather event has ended before you start removing snow from your driveway. Where Should I Pile Snow? Shoveling, blowing or plowing snow into the street is a violation of local ordinances. Where physically possible, the Borough asks that its residents please attempt
www.HomeNewsPA.com
to pile snow in the yard space behind the curbing/sidewalks. How Much Time Do I Have to Remove Snow/Ice from Sidewalks? Borough Ordinances require that all snow/ice is removed from the sidewalks located in the public-right-of-way within twentyfour (24) hours after the storm has ended. Where Should I Park During a Snowstorm? Utilize off-street parking (driveways, parking lots, etc.) whenever possible even if your street is not along a designated snow emergency route. When plows have to negotiate around parked vehicles, the overall time required for plowing is increased. Snow gets packed tightly around parked vehicles, and that will make it more difficult for you to shovel your vehicle out. Parking off-street also protects your car from being splashed with slush and salt, which can corrode the parts of your vehicle over time. Can Portable Basketball Hoops/Bicycles/Personal Property Stay in the Street? Basketball hoops, bicycles, soccer nets and all other personal property should be removed from the street right-of-way before snow removal activities begin. Leaving basketball hoops and personal property in the street presents a safety hazard for residents and Borough personnel. The Borough is not responsible for damage caused to personal property left in the street. Fire Hydrants: If a fire hydrant is located on your property, please remember it is the responsibility of the property owner-not the Borough of Bath Public Works Department or the Bath Volunteer Firefighters-to clear out the hydrant. Please remove the snow surrounding the hydrant and create a point of access to the hydrant from the street. For more information, visit the Borough website at www.bathborough.org

Reading Room Continued from page 2
(HCLV) in Bethlehem, Judith’s Reading Room established their “Birth-2-Five” program to get books into WIC homes. Since 2013, the organization has donated 14,388 children’s books worth $118,236. In 2014, HCLV saw on average 2,500 people a month; Casa Guadalupe 3,500 for a grand total of 68,400 visits. Every month, Judith’s Reading Room delivers new and gentlyread children’s books and bi-lingual posters and bookmarks that explain why reading to your child is important. For their part, WIC staff members ask parents to sign a “Pledge to Read” 20 minutes daily to their child. If the pledge is signed, a Judith’s Reading Room book is gifted to the family. “I have heard many families say if it was not for Casa and Judith’s Reading Room, there would not be books in the home,” said Dawn Bush, WIC Clinic Coordinator, Casa Guadalupe. Judith’s Reading Room was established in 2010 in memory of Judith Krug, cousin to the founders and a librarian. Its mission is to promote the betterment of society by providing “Freedom Through Literacy.” Judith’s Reading Room provides books to deployed troops and to others who, for any reason, do not have access to books. At the close of 2014 the organization has opened 86 libraries around the world and in seven states containing more than 106,200 books valued at $1,073,425.

Gab over the Fence
by Pete G. Ossip
After a few days of cold weather Christmas 2014 is history. Midnight Christmas Eve worship services have been held, the kids have their presents, and there was no snow. It was a really nice celebration of Christ’s birth, and folks enjoyed family dinners with some coming home from long distances. Now it’s almost New Year’s Eve. The paper will be out another day earlier than usual, just like last week, so I’m penning my letter early to keep up with it. . . . I hope you’ve made up some New Year’s Resolutions that you can keep. Nothing radical. Make it easy on yourself. Maybe if you keep just one and make it good, that’ll be all right. . . .I enjoyed that piece written by Tim Herd in last week’s paper with children giving their pieces, fidgeting around as they try to remember every line, and parents hoping that their young’uns will do okay. . . .Gotta get down to the Legion on New Year’s Day this Thursday when the auxiliary puts on a pork and sauerkraut dinner. It’s a New Year’s tradition to have that meal and something I always look forward to. Elmira makes a real good one, but I said, “Take a break and let’s go out for dinner this time.” She had enough work doing Christmas dinner for all the kin. . . . I kinda go for pig stomach, but that’s not for New Year’s that I know of. I hear a friend of ours from over Schnecksville way is of Italian heritage, and he was invited to go to one of those dinners. A lady he knows who had charge of the dinner coaxed him to go and he finally did. But he admits that
he prepared for the worst and had his Tums and Alka-Seltzer ready just in case. Turns out he didn’t need either one of those stomach ache relievers, and found out that the meal was delicious. Reckon you just hafta brave it and try other things once in a while. . . .Oh, by the way, those Legion Auxiliary gals looked mighty fine from the picture I saw in last week’s paper where they were Santa’s helpers. . . . The hearts card gang over there took a holiday break, too, and haven’t played for a couple weeks. . . . Those Eagles won their final game anyhow. So why didn’t they play like that against Washington? Oh well, there’s always next year. . . . Margie Rehrig told Ye Ed that what “Spundy” (Carl, that is) said years back when he was on Council seems to be coming true. It was that Bath would become part of Bethlehem. The old berg is getting up there with the new medical center down the highway, and the Second Harvest Food Bank moving into the former Phillips Feed warehouse soon, so we’re reaching out. Bath is getting on the map!! . . . . Took notice a TV weather map the other night had Chapman on it. I don’t know how they found that tiny borough, but there it was . . . . I’m kinda a TV nut, and when I see anything local it sorta lifts my spirit. Now Malvern, Pa. isn’t that close, but when a contestant on Wheel of Fortune was from that town playing the game out in California, I took that as something local –– Pennsylvania! Not only that, he was the only winner and took home over $91,000! . . . . So here we are at the end of another year and start of another one. Please don’t drink and drive, so you live till 2015 and beyond. Have a Happy, Healthy New Year everybody!!!!

While league-leading Salem Lutheran of Bethlehem was idle because of its games being called off due to a conflicting date at St. John’s Lutheran in Bath and second place Dryland-Trinity of Hecktown had the bye, Salem UCC of Moorestown took advantage of that and gained ground in the Suburban Inter-Church Dart Baseball League. They beat visiting Messiah of Bethlehem on Monday night in three games, 6-0, 5-2, and 8-4, led by Fred Toncik and Jack Troxell, both 7 for 12; and Kierstin Saeger, 5 for 9 with a home run, and Rachel Krause also with a homer. Messiah had only Dan Halteman, 5 for 12, and Chris Knauss, 4 for 12. Christ UCC of Bath lost 3-2 and 5-4 before salvaging a 5-4 win at Emmanuel EC in Bethlehem. The Bathites had Greg Pokorny hitting 8 for 15; George Gasper, 5 for 12, and Jared Pokorny, 4 for 13. Emmanuel: Judy Hoffert and Jeff Hoffert, both 6 for 12 with one of Jeff’s hits a homer; Mike Graf, 4 for 11, and Bob Bast, a home run. St. Paul’s UCC of Northampton also scored a sweep at St. John’s Union in Farmersville, 4-2, 7-0, and 6-2, led by Rich Kern, 7 for 13; Kevin Gross, 6 for 13; Zach Kern, 5 for 13, and Andrew Gross, a homer. Farmersville: Tom George, 5 for 12; Kyle Campbell, 4 for 12 with a homer; and Dan Kerbaugh, also a homer.

Christmas Tree Recycling Program for Lower Nazareth Township Residents Lower Nazareth Township will again be hosting a Christmas tree recycling program this holiday season. Trees will be accepted at 4600 Newburg Road (look for the green signs) from January 2 through January 10 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on weekdays, by appointment only and Saturdays Jan. 3 and 10. Please remove any ornaments, tinsel, and tree bags when disposing the trees to prevent potential damage to the chipping equipment. Due to the fact that the Public Works Department is typically out on the road, appointments shall be made and confirmed one business day prior to drop off. Appointments can be made by calling 484 239-2534. If you reach voicemail, please leave your name and phone number for a crewmember to return your
call and confirm your appointment. In the event of a snow or ice storm, appointments will require rescheduling as there will be NO drop off. Alternative Disposal As an alternative, Lower Nazareth Township residents may dispose of their Christmas trees at the First Regional Compost Authority (FRCA) facility. The FRCA facility is located at 6701 Weaversville Road, Northampton (East Allen Township). For more information contact FRCA directly at 610-262-1000 or visit their website at www.frcaweb. org. This program is only for residents of Lower Nazareth Township. All persons participating in the program will be required to provide identification at the time of disposal.

Local Municipalities to Receive Traffic Light Upgrades
By State Rep. Joe Emrick 137th Legislative District Improvements to select intersections in Forks, Palmer and Washington townships are being supported by a statewide grant program. The three are among 38 municipalities that will receive nearly $2 million to underwrite the costs of upgrading traffic signals. The project is called “Green Light-Go.” The awards account for half the price tag of each project, with the remainder of the total cost being picked up by each individual municipality. Northampton County’s three projects, which are all within the 137th Legislative District, are as follows: Forks Township -- $13,284 to upgrade traffic signals at five intersections to more efficient light emitting diodes (LEDs) along Sullivan Trail. Palmer Township -- $57,125 for traffic signal retiming at 20 intersections and to upgrade traffic signals at nine intersections to LEDs within the township. Washington Township -$2,791 to upgrade traffic signals at two Route 512 intersections to LEDs. PennDOT is accepting applications until Feb. 27 of next year for the second round of Green

Things Getting Worse?
Recently a man told me that it appears to him that things have become much worse today than they were in the past. He wondered what religious leaders give as reasons for the increasing swell of wickedness and violence all around us. He also asked me for my opinion. I told him that I am not sure what others blame today’s swell of wickedness upon, but the Bible says it is the result of man’s sin. It says, “in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God…evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:1-4; 12-13). Yes, sin is the reason for things getting worse today. Tragically, those who might have chosen Christ as their Savior and gone to heaven forever, end up in hell “because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12). The Bible also foretells of a world-wide outpouring of God’s Spirit “in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh” (Acts 2:17). Peter told 3,000 who gathered on the Day of Pentecost, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off” (Acts 2:38-39). If you will do this, things will get better for you as it did for me!

News Bob Sermonette Hampton Old Man
Back in the late 1960's, Neil Young was making a name for himself, bringing in more money than he had ever dreamed. So he went out in search of a new home and ended up purchasing the 1500-acre Broken Arrow Ranch. An old couple had been living on the property who served as its caretakers, Louis and Clara Avila. Louis insisted on giving Neil a scenic tour of the property in his old blue jeep. There was a particular spot he wanted to show him, so he drove him up to a high spot that overlooked much of the property. Neil's eyes feasted on the serene lake that fed all the lush pastureland below. Louis turned to Neil and said, "Well tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?" Neil responded too simply, "Well, just lucky, Louie, just real lucky. It was this brief encounter that inspired Neil to write his song about an "Old Man", a song in which he reminds us all that an old man's life is typically like a young man's life once was. I'm now the "old man" in this song who wishes to highlight two salient lines that warrant some worthwhile reflection as we find ourselves stepping across the threshold of another year: The first line reads, "Give me things that don't get lost." I've got some very depressing news for all of us. Eventually, everything gets lost. "Naked we came into the world and naked we're heading out." Have we amassed any substantial wealth? It's our heirs who will benefit. Did we stumble onto or climb our way to some fortunate fame? It's highly unlikely that a line of people will be frequenting our gravesite a few months down the road. Did we experience any significant loves? They too will come to a screeching halt some day. Everything we now have now is destined to disappear. "Naked in-naked out." I've conducted many funerals in my career and I can honestly affirm that I have never witnessed a hearse pulling a U-Haul or a shroud lined with pockets. "Well Happy New Year to you to, Bob." "Hold on a sec, for it's that 2nd salient line wherein we're offered great hope": "I need someone to love me the whole day through." I don't believe we need some developmental psychologist to tell us that man's greatest need is to be loved. You already know this innately. Some of you have no doubt experienced love and later lost it. Some of you may have searched your whole life for love and never found it. All of us have yearned to love and be loved. But this is good, because it reflects our Divine Design. God created us with a hole in our heart that can only filled by love, His love! I echo some additional words that Neil Young wrote, "Old man (and I would add "Old woman, young man and young woman) look at your life." Recognize if you haven't already that you have a hole in your heart that God wishes to fill. Why not fill it with Him in 2015?

Focused on Folks 60+ Home Helpers Lends a ‘Helping Hand’ for Get Organized Month Local Home Care Company Stresses the Importance of Preparing for the Future As more of the baby boomers start turning 65 each year, it is critical for families to get a solid grasp on organization and preparing for the future. In light of January being Get Organized Month, Home Helpers of Northern Lehigh Valley is educating the local community on how families can help prepare their aging loved ones for the future, from organizing their home to planning for advanced care. Home Helpers of Northern Lehigh Valley is the nation’s leading care franchise specializing in comprehensive home care, personal care and companionship for seniors, new mothers and those recovering from illness or injury. Home Helpers recognizes the importance and benefits of helping senior citizens get organized and prepared for the future, sooner rather than later. “Getting organized can seem like an overwhelming task,” said Vicki Crow, owner of Home Helpers of Northern Lehigh Valley, “The best way to get started is by having a plan and writing it down. Decide which areas of your life need the most help and start there.” Home Helpers of Northern Lehigh Valley is educating the community on how to help their aging loved ones get organized by offering the following tips: Downsizing – When moving to a smaller home or apartment, organization is key in deciding what items to keep, sell or discard. Dedicate increments of time to sorting through personal things and
work from room to room. Remember to sort through places like patios, the attic and basement. Organizing Important Papers – Organize important papers, such as medical and financial records, so they can be easily found during an emergency. Designating a Power of Attorney for Finances – Decide who will manage the senior’s finances when they are unable to manage them independently. Documenting a power of attorney for finances will give the designated person the legal right to pay the senior’s bills and handle their personal finances. Planning for Advanced Care – Make sure someone is designated to make medical decisions for the senior when they are no longer able to do so themselves. Complete documentation assigning power of attorney for health care and a living will to ensure that the
senior’s wishes are fulfilled. “Organization is important for people at all ages,” said Vicki Crow, “Aside from general organizing of the home, senior citizens may need additional help decluttering after accumulating decades worth of stuff. It is also important to make sure your loved one’s wishes are carried out after their passing by organizing medical paperwork, insurance forms and their last will and testament.” For more information about getting organized, contact Home Helpers Northern Lehigh Valley at (610) 596-7055 or walnutport@homehelpershomecare.com or visit homehelpershomecare. com/northlehighvalley.

On The Road Again
of 8,918 fans was a season and franchise record for the Phantoms at the PPL Center. It was also the team’s last home game of the 2014 calendar year and last home game for nearly three weeks until they return home on January 16 for a Friday night face-off with the Albany Devils. The Phantoms (14-11-4-1) begin a five-game stretch of consecutive road games starting on New Year’s Eve in Binghamton against the Senators. They then will head down to Norfolk in southern Virginia for a pair of games this weekend against the Norfolk Admirals, before returning home for a week of practice and ending with a weekend stay in St. John’s Newfoundland, Canada for a pair of games against the St. John’s IceCaps on Saturday, January 10 and Sunday, January 11. You can follow Tony’s live road coverage of the Phantoms New Year’s Eve game against Binghamton on Twitter -> @TonyAndrock_TCG.
Things are Jumping in
Defenseman Adam Comrie certainly made the most of his Lehigh Valley Phantoms debut Saturday night versus Norfolk. –Home News photo by TONY ANDROCKITIS The Home News Sports
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms returned from their holiday break and split a pair of games against East Division opponents, which included another exciting finish at the PPL Center on Saturday night with two unlikely heroes. After a costly 4-2 loss to rival Hershey on Friday night, the Phantoms were up against some adversity heading into Saturday night’s home matchup with the Norfolk Admirals. Phantoms rookie goaltender Anthony Stolarz left Friday night’s game after an apparent head injury when his head was elbowed by a Bears forward before striking one of the goal posts. Another rookie, recently recalled Martin Ouellette from the team’s ECHL-affiliate – the Reading Royals, took over in net 2:06 into the third period. Defenseman Mark Alt was shaken up after a hit and didn’t return either. Both injured players are listed as ‘day-to-day’ with upper body injuries. The Phantoms turned to Ouellette to make his first career AHL start Saturday against Norfolk and also called up defenseman Adam Comrie from the ECHL. Ouellette and Comrie made the most of their
Phantoms home debuts on Saturday night in front of the fans in downtown Allentown. Ouellette stopped 33 of the 35 shots he faced through regulation and overtime and all eight shot attempts in the shootout to pick up his first career AHL win. In addition to playing solid defensively, Comrie tallied the lone goal in the eighth round of the Phantoms’ 3-2 shootout win over the Admirals. Over 35 Yrs. Experience
“A little nerve-racking at the start but once you get into the game, those nerves go away and you just get in the zone,” Ouellette said of his first AHL start, adding, “It was exciting and always great to get the first win out of the way right away.” While Ouellette is in his second stint with the Phantoms, Comrie had just packed his bags and arrived in town for Saturday night’s game.

“It was easy to jump in here and play the system right. Exciting to get the win,” Comrie said, who added he was in awe of the atmosphere at the PPL Center. “This arena is amazing. It was awesome playing in front of all these fans. People are on top of you screaming and chanting the whole time.” Saturday’s announced crowd
