Bath Legion Wins NorCo Championship
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Bath Senior Legion has captured the 2014 Northampton County American Legion Baseball League championship. They beat The Birches of Saylorsburg last Tuesday at the Saylorsburg Playground, 13-1, and the following day edged them 5-4 in the 8th inning after tying them at 3-3 in the regulation seven innings at Ciff Cowling Field in Bath. In both games, Bath came up with their rallying runs in the late innings. They scored one run in the 3rd, but launched their salvo with three in the 5th, four in the 6th, and finally five more in the 7th in game one. Bath used three pitchers over the stretch, giving up five hits, but only one run – Matt Leon, 2-1/3, with five strike outs; Mike John, 3-1/3 scoreless innings, and Nick Caricari, the 7th inning. Bath had a total of 11 hits, and was aided by five Birches errors. Lead-off walks almost always come back to haunt teams. The Birches scored first on Wednesday, when the first batter walked, went to second on a sacrifice bunt, and eventually scored on a single to right field. Two strikeouts prevented any further damage that inning. But in the 4th, after two were out, there was another walk given up by Bath’s starting pitcher, Mike Horvath, a double to right, and then a throwing error from third baseman Mike John to first baseman Dom Fettore that gave Birches two more runs. The visitors’ starting pitcher, Travis VanHoutten had things under control in the early going until the 6th inning, when Bath scored two unearned runs, allowing Continued on page 2

For over 32 years, those with physical and mental disabilities of all ages have been able to come to a place where they are assisted by both caring people and gentle creatures. The mission of Equi-Librium is “to empower individuals with special needs to reach their highest potential through horse-related activities.” Formerly Monroe County Riding for the Handicapped, then Easter Seal RISE, it officially became Equi-librium in 2001 at its Snydersville location. Equi-librium purchased 18 acres in Bushkill Township (Nazareth) in September of 2014. Thursday, July 17, Equilibrium invited members of
the Nazareth Chamber of Commerce to a demonstration and ceremonial ribbon cutting. “It was a hard winter with the snow and ice, so we couldn’t really build or fix it up until the spring,” said Yvonne Darlington, Equi-librium’s volunteer coordinator and instructor. The beautiful summer afternoon was perfect for showing off the land’s two barns, indoor and outdoor arenas, natural pond, and pastures. Darlington explained why their 10 horses are so instrumental in helping people with special needs. “For physical disabilities, the motion of the horse really mimics how people walk; it helps with strength, balance, and mobility.” She continued, “For
people with mental needs, it’s great for learning. Horses are the greatest motivator; whatever we ask the kids to do—put your hands out, pay attention, count to ten—they want to do it, because they’re doing it with a horse and not just in a classroom.” For the summer season, Darlington said they have approximately 77 riders and drivers enrolled, with nearly 150 volunteers. Each rider needs anywhere from zero to three volunteers. Classes are around 45 minutes each. During the ribbon cutting, CEO Erica Hesselson thanked the crowd and said that they are “just delighted to be here in Nazareth.” To find out if Equi-librium could be right for you or a loved one, visit their website at www.equi-librium.org.

Dave Guarriello to reach base on an error by the shortstop, a single by Mike Kravchuk, a sacrifice fly by Matt Unangst, and then a single to Matt Leon scored two Bath runs to make it a 3-2 game. In the 7th, Tyler Erney opened with a single to center, Conner Vanderbush bunted for a sacrifice moving Erney to second base. John flied out to center, but with two outs Guarriello singled up the middle to score Erney as he avoided the tag by the Birches catcher, Jim Shank, tying the game at 3-3. It sent the game into extra innings. The visitors responded in the 8th with two singles after one out by Shank and Marshall Hanyon, and a lead run came in as first baseman Nick Domenecci ripped a ball over Vanderbush’s head in right for a triple. But a relay throw from Vanderbush to Matt Unangst to catcher Pat Mengel caught Hanyon dead to rights at the plate. As VanHoutten seemed to tire after seven innings, Domenci came in in relief. It quickly unraveled for him. Leon led off with a walk (remember what we said) and Tom Epsaro doubled to left center to score Leon, knotting the score at 4-4. Epsaro reached third base safely as Mergel tried a sacrifice bunt and was safe at first. The Birches manager loaded the bases with an intentional walk to McGeary, but with a drawn in infield, Erney hit a grounder to right that scored the winning run, 5-4. Kravchuk, who came in to relieve in the 5th inning, was the game winner.
This was Bath’s fifth NorCo championship, the last one coming vs. Nazareth in 2012. Region 2 Tourney By winning on Wednesday, it automatically qualified Bath (18-6) for the Region 2 Double Elimination Tournament, when they played the Berks County champion Norchester (31-8) on Saturday in Muhlenberg Township. The Birches (13-12-1) also qualified as runner-up, and took on the Schuylkill/ Berks champion, Pine Grove (14-10) that day. Both Bath and Saylorsburg teams lost 4-3, but went on to play other teams in the tournament in the losers’ bracket, where they achieved success. In the first game, a single off Bath Bath’s ace pitcher, Matt Leon, in the 7th inning spelled the difference and Norchester won. Bath took a 3-2 lead into the 6th inning on a single by Jimmy Downey, a sacrifice bunt by Matt Unangst, a Norchester error, a fielder’s choice ground ball by Leon, and a double by Tom Epsaro. But after two runs scored, the rally was stopped on fly outs to right and left, one on a leaping catch. Manager Alex Specht said, “You gotta make plays. The kids know we should have won this game, but we didn’t.” Norchester’s ace, Stephen Muskovitch, outdueled Leon 4 to 7 hits as the winners had single runs in the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 7th innings. The Birches lost their game, 4-3, against Pine Grove in the 12th inning on a walkoff double after the Poconos team had gone ahead 3-2. Bath faced another ace from Muhlenberg Township, Tyler Sassaman (8 and 0), in their second game and won
www.HomeNewsPA.com 12-2, sparked by Muhlenberg errors, and a 13-hit Bath attack. In the 1st inning, the Berks County pitcher gave up one run, and then with two outs and the bases loaded, the roof caved in and Bath had seven runs. He got Mike John on what he thought would be the final out of the inning on a grounder to shortstop, but two errors on the play resulted in three quick runs, and it kept going on singles by Connor Vanderbush and Ryan Wescoe and a double in the gap by Matt Unangst. After Bath scored two more runs in the 2nd, a single by Epsaro and a double by Collin McGeary, Sassaman was done. McGeary scored on two wild pitches by reliever Cody Fidler. A squeeze bunt by Matt Unangst brought in Vanderbush in the 3rd inning. Dom Fattore doubled in the 4th to bring in Bath’s final runs. Jimmy Downey pitched the first three innings and Mike Krawchuk the next three. He received the win. Muhlenberg (27-13-2) got its only two runs off Nick Caricari in the 7th inning. Earlier, The Birches (14-131) won 3-2 on an error by Hatfield in the 7th inning with the bases loaded. Bath beat the SchuylkillBerks County champion, Pine Grove 4-2. Mike Horvath went nine innings to get the win. Now with an 18-9 record Bath had to go up against either Lehigh County champion North Parkland or BucksMont champion Nor-Gwyn on Tuesday evening in the fourth round of the double elimination tournament at Gochnauer Field, Muhlenberg Township.

Rob Aptaker on: "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms at Home" Submitted by MARTIN BOKSENBAUM
On Thursday, July 24, Rob Aptaker will discuss "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms at Home" as the featured presentation of the July quarterly meeting of the Lehigh Valley Chapter of The Weston A Price Foundation® at the United Steelworkers Hall in Bethlehem. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. The event offers free admission (donations invited) with ample on-site parking lot is accessible from Center St (at the equivalent of 316 Center St, if you’re using Google). This presentation will offer an overview of the types of fungi that home growers can cultivate, the ideal growth media (substrates) for each, and the techniques for inoculation and production. Nutritional and medicinal properties of various kinds of fungi will be discussed, and sources for spawn and other supplies will be shared. Rob will talk about the simple techniques developed in recent years that allow home hobbyists to cultivate and grow oyster mushrooms, shiitake and a variety of other delicious and healthful fungi with a minimum of equipment and materials. Unlike the grocery store button mushroom, these edibles do not need specialized growing conditions. Many can be grown on straw, wood chips, compost, as companion crops in vegetable gardens, or on storm killed or recently cut softwood or hardwood trees trunks and branches. It’s even possible to grow some varieties on coffee grounds or waste paper. Rob Aptaker, our presenter has been cultivating a variety of gourmet and medicinal mushrooms since 1994. An avid outdoorsman, he has been foraging and identifying wild edible fungi since the 1980s. This interest led Rob to explore small-scale home mushroom farming. In 1996 he traveled to Washington State to take a course in mush-
room cultivation from famed fungiphile and cultivation innovator Paul Stamets whose company, Fungi Perfecti, is at the forefront of the field of gourmet and medicinal mushroom research and development. In addition to growing shiitake, oyster, and wine cap mushrooms, Rob has begun experiments in cultivating the medicinal reishi mushroom. He also leads wild mushroom identification forays in the Fall. He’ll be bringing fresh mushrooms for sale as well as oak logs inoculated with shiitake mushroom spawn and straw blocks inoculated with oyster mushroom spawn. Also at the event Local producers may bring grass-fed, organic, and/or biodynamic products for sampling or sale. Attendees can check out the produce tables before and after the presentation (bring your coolers!). Books & videos will also be available About The Weston A. Price Foundation The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism and supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective, including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy-based infant formula. About the Lehigh Valley Chapter (WAPF-LV) WAPF-LV hosts public presentations dealing with food, nutrition, health, and food-producing systems, and publishes a newsletter. As part of WAPF-LV’s efforts to connect local food producers and consumers, we also publish a directory of local farms.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Soft Shell Crab
By CAROL RITTER
I’m scared, I have a wonderful idea and I’m afraid to move forward because someone might criticize me. Maybe someone will tell me I’m nuts, or someone will work at making sure the idea doesn’t work. Is this you? I’ve worked many places over the years and there is always someone in every company who will take every opportunity to sabotage someone who has a great idea. Do you know why? Because they don’t want anyone to look better than they do, they don’t want anyone to be more successful than they are, and more than anything, they are scared to do anything that might be controversial. I think they might be scaredy cats. I remember working with a guy years ago that had no time for new ideas, just business as usual. He was a soft shell crab most days unless he was having a bad day; then he was a full-blown hard shell crab. We all tipped-toed around him and would never ever bring up a new idea. Back then, when I was younger, I didn’t want to rock the boat. But today I might have handled him differently. If you have a soft shell crab in your company, here are some tips at getting your point or your new idea across:
1. Ask him alone first; soften the intro to the new idea 2. You may want to go as far as to make him think it’s his idea 3. Make sure you select a soft shell crab day to bring it up 4. Start out by saying “what do you think about this?” 5. If none of this works, proceed to the next level: go around him

I wish everyone was kind and gracious, but in the workplace, sometimes it’s survival of the fittest. Look in the mirror -- mirror, mirror on the wall - who’s the fairest of them all?

‘14-’15 Budget Focuses on your Priorities
Op-Ed
By Rep. JULIE HARHART (R-Lehigh/Northampton) Each year, the state Legislature dedicates itself to passing a balanced, on-time budget that funds the state’s core government functions and allows additional dollars to support vital programs and services for the people of Pennsylvania. This year was no different. The final state budget meets our obligations, increases funding for K-12 education to historic levels, dedicates more dollars for public safety and human services, and still doesn’t raise taxes on hard-working Pennsylvanians. I am proud of all we were able to accomplish, given state revenue numbers ended up not meeting our expectations. In order to help our schools
achieve academic success, we have dedicated a total of $10.5 billion for K-12 education, which is more state dollars than we have ever spent before. This number includes an increase of $20 million for special education, which is receiving its first increase in six years, as well as $100 million in new money for block grants that gives schools the flexibility to direct money where they need it most. School districts in the 183rd Legislative District will receive the following: 1. Catasauqua Area School District – $6,833,803, a 5.7 percent increase of $366,807. 2. Northampton Area School District – $23,907,330, a 5.7 percent increase of $1,286,207. 3. Northern Lehigh School District – $10,539,414, a 4.5 percent increase of $454,279. 4. Parkland School District – $22,006,263, a 10 percent increase of $2,008,888. 5. Whitehall-Coplay School District – $13,789,798, a 7.4 percent increase of $947,607. Making sure kids start out on the right foot and are adequately prepared for school is vital, which is why we also appropriated $97.28 million for Pre-K Counts and $237.52 million for early intervention services. Community colleges are set to receive an additional $3.5 million in funding and a new scholarship program, called Ready to Succeed, will dedicate $5 million to enable more middle-income students to attend college. To enhance public safety across the state, the budget includes funding to train four new Pennsylvania State Police cadet classes, which will put 350 additional troopers on the streets. To ensure better care of some of our most vulnerable citizens, the budget also includes an increase of $13.28 million to provide home and community-based services for an additional 1,250 individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism. A 10 percent increase in funding will also benefit the appropriation for domestic violence and rape crisis centers across the state. A special cause close to my heart is an appropriation
of $2 million for the state’s Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs), which provide comprehensive treatment and services under one roof for abused kids. This allocation builds on the funding I have secured through a new law which uses an increase in the cost for duplicate birth certificates to create a reliable funding stream to support the centers. The state budget is a complex document that accomplishes a lot of the items Pennsylvania citizens have expressed are their top priorities, and with only a modest 1.8 percent increase over the 2013-14 budget. For more information on the 2014-15 state budget, visit my website at www.JulieHarhart.com.

Wigs for Kids
Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip The weather was great over the weekend, and especially on Saturday, so all those motorcyclists down at the fire hall had a great time gathering for the Dreams Come True fundraiser and going out on a ride around the countryside. Hats off to Jim Pasquariello and all his helpers who put the event together. The kids who suffer from cancer sure can use all the help and encouragement they can get, and raising money for Dreams Come True helps them have a little fun out of their young lives. . . .Congratulations to the Bath Legion baseball team, too, for winning the Northampton County League championship last week. They had a bump in the regional tournament, but still played great baseball. I hear one of their coaches wants to retire, but I hope he stays on a while longer and helps out manager Alex Specht. . . .Ye Ed got word that one of his grandsons was part of a World Series winning ball team down South, and in the season hit 14 home runs. . . . Don’t forget the big duck race down along the Monocacy Creek between the bridge on Northampton St. and the bridge on Main St. this Friday.You can buy tickets at the Bath Farmers Market in Keystone Park any time after it opens at 3 p.m. or until the race starts around 5:30 p.m. I
think they’ll be sold down at Monocacy Creek Park, too. They’ve been having this fun event for five years now. It takes some luck, but you could win a prize. Like they say,“You can’t win if you don’t play!” . . . . Hafta get some of Garry Husicker’s sweet corn while I’m at the park, too. . . . Nice to see that Marcia Hahn put out an amendment to a House of Representatives bill adding the name “Veterans Memorial Highway” to Bushkill Center Rd. from Rt. 512 to Jacobsburg, just like Rt. 248 is dedicated as a prisoner of war / missing in action highway from Lehighton into Bath and beyond. . . . Still waiting on the state highway department to re-surface 512 and S. Chestnut Street. It’s hot enough. . . . Jimmy and Maria have been enjoying a trip to Greece. . . . Sadly, the folks who flew from Amsterdam to a point at Malaysia never knew what hit them as a surface to air missile hit their plane over the Ukraine and 298 lives were lost. . . . Folks over Nazareth way had a fun time at the circle last weekend for Nazareth Days, and now they can come over to the Holy Family picnic this weekend for more fun, with good eats, music and dancing. As I say, summer’s a busy time. . . . Gotta take time out now for a snooze. See you in seven.

Op-Ed America’s Poverty,
Do something about it
By GLENN MOLLETTE I've never lived in poverty. However, like most Americans I have known a few tough times. I do know that poverty is not pretty. I've never been around a hungry family that was dancing in joy because of their dire situation. Poverty is hard. I grew up in Martin County, Kentucky. We were supposed to be the poorest county in the United States in 1964 when President Johnson began his campaign against poverty. Government assistance came into existence to help the poor not only in our county but also throughout the United States. A few dollars from the government helps if you are down and out. However, living on government handouts for months and even years is a rock bottom life for the poor and our nation. Barely existing is an understatement when you are dependent every day on what you can get from the Federal Government. Our government, like many Americans, has spent more than it has taken in. Our national debt is headed to 18 trillion dollars. Extra money to hand out to impoverished Americans is going to decrease. There is no room for federal charity to grow. Changing the direction of your life involves making big decisions. It could mean moving to a place where there are opportunities. There are paying jobs in America but you may need to go to the area where they are being offered. Staying where you are and dreaming that your ship will arrive is not reality. Sometimes poverty has resulted from years of bad decisions, addictions and simply
mentally zoning out about the realities of life. Bad things often happen to people putting them into such a tail spin that they hit rock bottom losing their houses, cars and help from family and friends. There are lots of real reasons and stories that people have about their situations People in poverty are lonely and feel hopeless. In
By ALICE WANAMAKER A Wigs for Kids Hair Fair was held on Saturday July 12 at the Bath Republican Club to benefit kids with Cancer. Organizers are proud to have raised $3,065 and nine ponytails for the Wigs for Kids Organization during the annual event Nashville, Tennessee on any given night there are over 8,000 homeless people bedding down in public places, or homeless shelters. There are also lots of veterans, elderly and young singles with no place to go. A family sleeping in an old car or huddled together on a park bench under a blanket is not beautiful American scenery. This same scenario is played out in most American cities only in different numbers. Thousands of people storm our borders every day with no clue of how they will financially survive in America. However, America is their dream and their way of trying to reinvent their desperate lives. More poverty unfortunately is coming to America. President Johnson's dream of a great society of handouts to the down and out has maxed out. This doesn't mean that America cannot be even greater than we are but the government is not going to create it. Our country is made of people. The fiber and soul of America is the spirit, of the American people, who each day says, "I must, I can and I will take control of my life and destiny." And then, do something about it.

Junior Conservation School Was a Teaching Success
Archery inside the Keystone Rod & Gun Club. (L) On the club trapshoot range, the students each fired 25 shots at targets, while guided by sportsmen instructors. (R) – Home News photos By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
The 33rd annual Northampton County Junior Conservation School ended on Sunday morning with a sun ceremony, and clean-up of the grounds the students used at the Northampton County 4-H Center in Bushkill Township. With some of the best weather ever since the school’s inception the 19 students learned much about the value of conserving natural resources and our environment. They had professionals teaching them and learned a lot more with hands-on visits to natural surroundings such as the Superfund area of Kittatinny Ridge, a farm, and a cement plant. The only change in schedule had to be made, however, when the waters of the Delaware River were too high and they had to go with an alternative. It wasn’t disappointing. They traveled to Long Pond in the Monroe County section of the Poconos, and the Tunkhannock Creek. It is an area that includes a bog that contains a rare collection of insects not found anywhere else in Pennsylvania, that originated with glaciers. Waters there are shared with agencies and in part supply drinking water through the Bethlehem Water Authority. The 14 17-year-old boys and girls had the pleasure of meeting with parents and siblings on a Friday family night that featured barbecued chicken and covered dish delicacies brought from home. The students put on skits after dinner to show a bit of what they learned all week. Saturday morning, they traveled to Keystone Rod & Gun Club in Bath, where they took part in shooting .22 rifles, trapshooting clay birds, and archery. There was supposed
to be shooting of 50-cal. muzzleloader rifles, but due to a misunderstanding that didn’t happen. Once again, the girls excelled in shooting, and overall the instructors found that the young people were pretty good shots. Safety was an important part of what they learned in these sports. After the shooting events, the students, counselors and sportsmen volunteers enjoyed sausage sandwiches prepared by the camp kitchen staff. The instructors also received the new NCJCS tshirts. In the afternoon, the students spent time writing personal thank-you letters to their sponsors, letters to state and federal legislators about problems they saw first-hand, and of their own personal commitment to conservation practices that they now realize have an important place in their life. While the conservation school is sponsored by the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, in cooperation with Pa. DCNR and the 4-H Center board, the students were sponsored by such organizations as Hellertown Sportsmen Association, Springtown Rod & Gun Club, Williams Township Sportsmen, Bucks County Federation, Lower Mt. Bethel Sportsmen, Bath Lions Club, Easton Fish & Game, Northampton County Conservation District, Blue Mountain Fish & Game, Delaware Valley Ornothologic Club. One was enlisted by a parent of a child who attended the recent Youth Field Day in the county. The Junior Conservation School board/staff meets on the third Friday of each month at Jacobsburg Envrionmental Education Center. They are already signing up students for next July’s

Tom and Julia Glick with assistance from Candi Lynn and has been well attended since its inaugural in 2009. Project Lifesaver Discussed Also in attendance at the meeting were Melissa Jefferson, a Northampton Mother, and Martha Lieberman, a chairperson at Project Lifesaver. Jefferson discussed some of the difficulties she faces raising a son who falls on the autism spectrum, including how hard it is to keep tabs on a child with a propensity to wander. She then introduced Project Lifesaver, an organization dedicated to bringing home loved ones who have wandered because of autism, Alzheimer’s Disease and other conditions. When a person is enrolled in Project Lifesaver they receive a bracelet that can be tracked when initiated by a caregiver. Project Lifesaver has 47 participating states and a total of 1,300 agencies nationwide. More information about the organization can be found on their website, www. projectlifesaver.org. Council questioned Lieberman about cost and service to a user. She explained that there is a one-time cost of $350 for a user. The cost to the borough would be $5,000 for equipment and specialized training. Borough Manager Gene Zarayko expressed support for the program, but would like more of a commitment from the town given the cost. “If there is enough interest in this project it will be implemented,” Zarayko said. “Every life is precious.” Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. concurred with Zarayko, saying that Project Lifesaver is “very worthwhile to look into.” Lieberman and Jefferson assured council that they would begin a petition in support of Project Lifesaver.

News Sermonette Rev. Kunkle
Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Nazareth
“You’re a petty little man.” When relationships with in-laws go bad, the latter become “out-laws,” at least that’s what John was trying to convince me of! Sadly, there is not one metaphor or euphemism he used to describe his wife’s parents that I can repeat… in polite company at least. The amazing thing... John had no qualms about saying what was on his mind. There were no filters in place. His wife, for a time, tried to put up a good front, smiling as each new verbal barb was cast. But like a prize fighter whose legs had turned to jelly with each new blow that was landed, her ability to defend against this onslaught, became increasingly diminished. The “final straw” was reached when he again, probably for the umpteenth time, turned down the “how your parents ruined our wedding” road. The tears came unashamedly. A nerve that was too raw had been struck. It was then that something quite amazing, and unexpected (at least to me!) happened. Glaring at him through the lenses of her tear-filled eyes, she gave him a chilling rejoinder. The words were measured, spoken softly—but yielding a powerful rebuke. In a monotone, exaggeratedly slow cadence, the words seething and dripping with disdain came forth: “John, you’re a petty little man.” Indeed, he was! Jesus repeatedly taught his followers that we are to love not only the lovable, but the unlovable as well, to turn the other cheek, and to NOT repay in kind. That THAT is challenging hardly needs saying. But, at the core of this spiritual truth there is something much deeper and more profound. The words of Mother Teresa say it well in our times… People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Love them anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. Would that we were only able to grasp this powerful truth! We spend the hours of our days trying to fix all the broken people in our lives. Though destined to fail at the outset, we proceed undeterred. I suppose it is the way we are wired, or perhaps more correctly said, the way we have “rewired” ourselves! God would have nothing more (or less!) than to be in a loving relationship with us. Were that possible… we would be able to move beyond our own version of being petty little men… and women!

Local vet’s idea Becomes new Law in Penn.
Submitted by Senator DAVID G. ARGALL Governor Tom Corbett recently signed legislation sponsored by Senator David G. Argall (R-29) into law that creates new specialty license plates honoring the exceptional military service of Pennsylvania residents. “Pennsylvania veterans who earn achievements during their service should be recognized for their dedication to this nation,” Argall said. “I am pleased to see his idea become a reality for all Pennsylvania veterans.” Argall introduced Senate Bill 1187 at the request of Vietnam veteran Joe Soga of Berks County. The new measure creates a number of new license plates designed to honor the service of Pennsylvania veterans. The bill was originally intended to create license plates for Army veterans who earned the Combat Infantry Badge during their tour of duty. “I would like to thank Senator Argall for his efforts to honor my fellow veterans by introducing legislation to establish a Combat Infantry Badge license plate,” Soga said. In addition to the new plate honoring Combat Infantry Badge recipients, the proposal was amended in the Senate and House to provide for other license plates honoring military service. Servicemen and women earning the Combat Action Ribbon (Marines, Navy and Coast Guard), Combat Action Badge (Air Force), Combat Action Medal (Army) and Combat Medical Badge (Army medics) will be able to show their achievements on their Pennsylvania-registered automobile. The new measure expands eligibility for Merchant Marines plates for those who served during the Korean War, the Vietnam Conflict, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Desert Shield. Several other specialty plates are included in the law, including a new “Pennsylvania Monuments” license plate that will provide funding for restoration projects in Gettysburg National Military Park. Additional specialty plates will include an “In God We Trust” plate

By CASSANDRA JONES Kevin Garrity, age 19, of Bath, began his journey from civilian to Marine April 14 on Parris Island, South Carolina. Garrity graduated July 11 after a grueling three-month experience and will be home for a short ten-day leave before continuing his combat training at Camp Geiger in North Carolina. Afterwards, Garrity will head to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri to complete his nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare job training. When asked why he had chosen the Marines over other military branches Garrity said, “I knew the Marine corps would lead me on the right path to providing the kind of life I wanted for my future family, and I chose the Marines for the title of being a United States Marine. When you’re in the Army, you say ‘I’m in the Army,’ same with the Air Force and Navy, but I now have earned the right to say, I am a Marine.” As far as what Garrity’s future may hold once he has completed his four years of service, he confidently commented, “I’m just along for the ride.”
