Northampton Senior Center Brings home 21 medals

Lehigh Township Supervisors Extend deadline for Intersection developer

By JOE KORBA The Home News

The intersection of Blue Mountain Drive and Route 248 was once again the topic of discussion at the June 24 Lehigh Township Supervisor's meeting. During their previous meeting, on June 10, supervisors learned that the developer was only planning on putting a turning lane on three of the four approaches to the intersection. That leaves the township on the hook for installing the fourth turning lane at the intersection.

Supervisor Cynthia Miller proposed that help to complete the project might be available from the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. Miller said she had spoken with LVPC about possible ways the township could lesson the financial burden through state funding. All funds that are dispersed from the state go through the local county planning commission. “With their input, the township might be able to secure funding for the fourth turning lane,” Miller said.

The deadline for the developer, Cherryville Development Partners, was pushed back from the original date of July 13 until September 30, because the developer had not received the state permits to move forward. The developer's final plan will determine how much right-of-way will be needed for the project.

THE SENIOR GAMES were held on June 25 at the Slate Belt Center in Bangor. More than 100 seniors from the county participated. Northampton Center brought home 21 medals. Congratulations to all who participated. Top row (L-R): Rich, Aggie, John, Mary Ellen, Grace & Marge. Lower row (L-R): Irene, Stephanie, Janice, Helen, Rose & Joan -Submitted by Krista Ambrosino

Cement Worker of the Month

By ED PANY

Mr. Steve Lorenz was raised in Stiles, Whitehall Township.

He graduated from Whitehall-Coplay High School in 1978 where he was a member of coach Bill Kratzer’s wrestling squad. His first job was with the Schaeffer Brewery, but a slowdown in production resulted in a new cement career.

Steve recalls,“I was hired by the Coplay Cement Company as a lab technician receiving excellent on-the-job training

from Donald “Ducky” Wetherhold and Kermit Kunkle, great teachers. Mr. Kunkle was my supervisor; he was old-fashioned, frugal and ran a tight ship and stressed the virtue of responsibility.”

The Company was later sold to French and Italian investors and was named Essroc. A new ultra-modern plant was constructed in Nazareth. Mr. Lorenz would progress from the quarry to production, which enabled him to gain experience in all phases of cement production.

He said, “Al Lerch and Jack Santo gave me experiences in the refractory brick lining of cement kilns, which I utilize in my present position.”

On July 25, 2003, Mr. Lorenz was hired by Lehigh Heidelberg in Evansville as production supervisor by Mr. Daniel

Nesges. The plant manager in 2003 was Bob Breyer who was an excellent communicator.

Today Steve is the Kiln Foreman; he is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the massive kilns which turn cement rock into clinker, the basis of cement production.

He said, “the introduction of computers have made production more efficient.”

Mr. Lorenz works closely with shift supervisors Mike Rowles, Victor Eboras, Chris Gibbons, Mark Gibson and Glen Conahan, all fine men.

He also worked with this writer’s cousin, Mike Bahni.

Each morning at 6:30 a.m. he holds meetings with shift supervisors to discuss kiln operations. Over the years, seminars and training sessions have allowed the team Continued on page 4

Charitable Enterprises, a division of Lions District 14-K, held its annual All-All Soccer Classic awards picnic on Sunday at the 26th Street Playground pavilion in Northampton.

Outstanding athletes who participated in the recent 33rd annual Classic at Whitehall High School were commended.

In the games played on June 1, the Lehigh Valley Conference/ MountainValley Conference girls beat the Colonial League, 3-1. The boys game ended with Colonial winning 6-3 over LVC/MVC. Most valuable players plaques were awarded on Sunday to Angelica Bertola of Notre Dame East Stroudsburg, Kelsey Finn of East Stroudsburg South, and Sam Gaye of Northampton High School. Unable to be present were MVPs Amanda McCarthy of Emmaus, Victoria Young of Saucon Valley, Kyle Stengel of Parkland, and Matthew Dicker of Southern Lehigh.

Scholastic scholarships of $250 each went to Dana McAllister of Pleasant Valley and Matt Semanick of Easton High School. They were honored for their community service as well as their extracurricular activities and scholastic achievements.

Unable to be present were scholarship winners Marisa Iannelli of Bethlehem Catholic and Matthew Palmer of Notre Dame Green Pond.

Governor-elect Fred Folland of Slatedale-Emerald presented the awards.

Funds Bring Aid Past District Governor Joseph Chunko told the parents and siblings, along with the athletes, how Charitable Enterprises helps people with eye cataract surgery, diabetic needs, hearing aids, if they lack insurance, and scholarships for visually impaired students. Since the Classic has been held the past 33 years, $180,000 has been raised for this purpose.

PDG Linwood Gehris also told about the Lions Clubs International Foundation, which provides grants for humanitarian aid and those afflicted in natural disasters. LCIF funds have helped to eliminate river blindness in Africa, and provided 15 million measles vaccinations on that continent.

“Every penny goes out in grants for humanitarian needs around the world, including the United States,” he said.

Mr. Lorenz is very amiable and personable, a dedicated cement worker. He has been married to the former Pat Anderson for 27 years and together proudly raised her sons James and Jeffrey. An avid Philadelphia Eagles fan, you can also find him biking on the Whitehall IRT Trail.

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com

The Answer to Better Health I recently saw a video clip of Dr. Oz being scolded by a congressional hearing about misleading his viewers about the benefits of certain health products. He admitted partial fault. He took a verbal beating! Not having all the facts, I dare not give my opinion on the matter. I will share that from the little I truly have seen of the Dr. Oz Show, he always appears to be forthright and transparent. People have questions….Dr. Oz appears to try and give the best answer.

In the realm of natural health care however, I have seen misleading. We are all well aware of companies that reach too far in stating benefits of their nutritional product. If it seems too good to be true it usually is. It takes a lot of effort to weed through the selling tactics to find out what is a legitimate product that can enhance health. Every day, I am asked about or shown some type of supplement, brace, orthotic, or otherwise that my patients utilize or are considering.

Perhaps the first thing I look at is whether the product in question will do harm. Will it interact with medicine, injure the kidneys, disrupt bowel function, etc.? The next item to consider is will it actually help. Will a particular supplement assist with lowering triglyceride levels? Is the dosage correct? Does it actually contain what the label says it does? These questions are EXTREMELY important.

Another important item for evaluation is cost. Much of these natural alternatives can get expensive. You need to know what you’re getting involved with. Last but not least, I ask the person why they are considering a particular product. What is their goal? The answers sometimes shock me.

If a person just wants to feel better then maybe they need to stop drinking soda instead of taking a mood enhancer. If fatigue is the problem perhaps protein shakes instead of Fruit Loops should be eaten in the morning.

Understand the point? Just last week I spoke with a patient who stated that “there is nothing else my doctor can do for me.” He is filled with so much fluid and his legs and feet look like sausages.

We consulted and he agreed to implement simple, life changing recommendations.

He was resistant for years.

Now he has no other choice.

Guess what, he is doing what he should be and he dropped 8lbs in three days. Yes, three days. Think he is happy?!?

This is just the start.

Before buying anything I encourage performing an assessment of lifestyle and see where mistakes are being made. Maybe walking a few times per week and stretching would be more appropriate than an inversion table.

Perhaps better health is obtained by daily green tea instead of a green tea capsule.

Just today, while I saw a probiotic commercial touting the 30 billion high potency capsule, I grabbed the organic sauerkraut, scooped a tablespoon and shouted to my daughter that I am taking 1 trillion in this one dose. I took three scoops and proudly proclaimed, “I just consumed about 3 trillion good bacteria, who needs a pill?” My daughter said, I would rather take the pill………

To the point, achieving better health doesn’t always come via a pill, potion, or product. The foundational steps of “eat right, think right and move right” must always be in place first! Then we can address introduction of target nutritional supplementation IF the supplements are of the highest quality, not synthetic, and have a reason to be taken.

Best of health to you!

and women that would support responsible well drilling.

Some of the effects she pointed out were habitat fragmentation from pipelines; drilling pads where there are invasive species; sedimentation and erosion; water withdrawals to fill tanker trucks; access to state forests; noise at drilling sites; the effect on wildlife; truck traffic and compressor stations.

These wells are good for 20 to 30 years. To date, 26 million acres have been leased in Pennsylvania, and 126,000 new wells are predicted in the next 20 years.

Trout Unlimited has been keeping a watch on how the gas drilling affects water.

Baseline water quality has tested for acidity, temperature, turbidity and insect life.

Ms. Piatt also noted that in western Pennsylvania there is a group of 500 sportsmen who monitor operations in that area.

www.HomeNewsPA.com

The Federation invited Ms. Piatt because, while the Marcellus Shale drilling has boosted the economy of residents in northeastern Pennsylvania, sportsmen are worried about how the drilling affects water, including in the Delaware River basin. They’ve listened to both sides of the story not only here, but also at conventions of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs.

The PFSC has been a leading advocate of the Clean Water Act ever since it was organized many years ago.

There are both good and bad sides. Both the Pa. Game Commission and Pa. Fish & Boat Commission have benefited financially from Marcellus Shale. And there’s the political football on extraction taxes.

Sportsmen indeed should be watchdogs and continue to monitor what effects the drilling industry has on our state waters.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Appalachian Creations and Northampton Area Public Library Announce 2014 Landscape Refurbishment Project Submitted by JENN STUMER The Northampton Area Public Library has recently gone through an internal renovation to update their library services. Appalachian Creations of Northampton would like to help them keep up the momentum by giving their exterior an update as well.

The library is a pivotal place of research and information not only for the borough of Northampton and its schools, but also the surrounding municipalities. For the maintenance of their exterior, they rely on the kindness of the “Friends of the Library” volunteer group, the

school district, and the borough of Northampton.

Appalachian Creations, Inc. is spearheading a community project to refurbish and update portions of the landscape to create a fresh, more modern look at the same time transforming it so that the ongoing maintenance is easier for the Friends of the Library volunteers to handle.

Opportunities exist in this project for your organization to contribute materials, labor or simply a monetary donation to help achieve this goal.

There are many ways you can help to complete the outside project, including; volunteering your time, talents, donating materials or mon-

Hobby Lobby, An Example of What Does Not Matter Editor’s Note - Dr. Garrison’s opinion piece was written in response to Monday’s 5-4 Supreme Court decision that corporations can choose not to provide certain forms of birth control because of their owners’ religious objections. Dr. Garrison’s views do not represent the opinion of this paper’s editorial staff or management. There is a Hobby Lobby located in Lower Nazareth Township.

By DR. ARTHUR H. GARRISON Assistant Professor Criminal Justice, Kutztown University In the case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., Hobby Lobby asserted that from its religious perspective, anything that prevented the fertilized egg from growing into a baby – by definition – was in the same category as abortion.

der the Affordable Care Act, employers are required to provide a base level of care within the health care insurance that they provide to their employees. Birth control is included in that base level coverage. Under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules, there are twenty different types of contraception methods. Hobby Lobby sued the Department of Health and Human Services (DHH) regulations that included four methods of contraceptives. The first two methods are “day after” or emergency contraceptives – Plan B (levonorgestrel-LNG) and Ella (ulipristal acetate-UPA). The second two methods are intrauterine devices (IUDs) – levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNGIUS) and the copper Intrauterine Device (Cu-IUD). Hobby Lobby in its arguments to the Court asserted that it opposed the specific funding of these four methods of contraceptives because they are “abortifacients” and that “they have no objection to the other 16 FDA-approved methods of birth control.”

Fair enough. What was completely missed by the Court and the reaction to the decision is that Hobby Lobby was factually wrong. These four methods are not “abortifacients.” A brief submitted to the Court by a group of medical scientists explained that Plan B, “levonorgestrel (LNG), [is] a synthetic version of the naturally-occurring hormone progesterone [that] works by preventing or disrupting ovulation, but is not effective after ovulation has already occurred.”The reason being, “LNG does not cause changes to the endometrium (uterine lining) that would hamper implantation.”

Ella “acts on human progesterone receptors.” It “works later in the pre-ovulatory cycle, when [Plan B] is no longer effective.”

Here is the point. The “claim that Plan B and Ella prevent implantation is not supported by current scientific data or by evidence in the record below. To the

contrary, scientific research shows that Plan B and Ella both function by inhibiting or postponing ovulation; they do not prevent fertilization or implantation.” As for the two types of IUDs, the “LNG-IUS works primarily by thickening the cervical mucus, thereby preventing sperm from reaching the egg.”

“The Cu-IUD affects the motility and viability of sperm and impairs their fertilizing capability.” The brief goes on to explain that none of the methods can dislodge a fertilized egg, the scientific definition

of abortifacients. A Google search confirms the assertions made in the brief.

The Court and both sides of the litigation bypassed the brief altogether. Rather than focusing on the science of these methods and the legal/factual issue of whether the four methods were in fact violative of religious convictions, the Court ruled that for-profit corporations were “persons” under Continued on page 15

News Sermonette Pastor Ed Bean

(alvary Evangelical U.M. Church, Tamaqua

Keepers Of The Nation Do you enjoy birthday celebrations? A birthday can be a time of rejoicing with family and friends. It can also be a time for reflection and evaluation of a life direction.

July 4 is our national birthday. Within the midst of our festive celebration, perhaps we should take the time to ponder our national character as a superpower nation.

What are we doing with the entrusted world leadership gifts we possess? What are the values we share with a global world?

Are we guilty of making a shift in our beliefs or have we replaced our value system with “political correctness?ww” In the afterglow of our nation’s birthday, let go on a discovery journey. First, those who have gone before us have left behind some moral guidelines. As citizens, they formed our national character around bonds of neighborly fellowship, churches, and godly worship and living.

They acknowledged, first and foremost, we are created by God as spiritual beings. We either worship the true God or create our own gods.

Second, each citizen contributes to our national character in a positive or negative way.

Good social productivity is dependent upon the highest character principles. No nation can rise above the moral climate of its citizens. Low morality promotes selfishness and the self-interests of those who sell out to the highest offer. A strong nation requires people who live with great integrity and moral truth.

Third, our national history underscores the unique contribution of the Bible and Christian faith in the early formation of rights, liberties and happiness. Our forefathers saw in the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and our developing government a place for both God and social accountability. Where are we today?

Someone has said: “If you do not live it, you do not believe it.”

Rightly does Psalm 16: 5-8 remind us of our heritage to become Keepers of the Nation: “The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes I have a good inheritance. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; I have set the Lord always before me.

Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.”

Let us live up to this heritage.

Grand Re-opening of “The Friendship Tree” in Bath

Hobby Lobby Continued from page 10 the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) and that that the RFRA protects for-profit organizations that “wish to run their businesses as for-profit corporations in the manner required by their religious beliefs.” The Court could have ruled that since the four methods did not violate

July 3-9, 2014 15 Hobby Lobby’s religious values because they were not abortifacients, Hobby Lobby was legally obligated to offer these four methods along with the other sixteen.

This limited approach would have avoided the current result in which the Court provided a legal determination that left open more questions than it answered.

Focused on Folks 60+ 6 Reasons Seniors Hang On To Stuff And What To Do About It Following, from the Home Instead Senior Care® network

and Vickie Dellaquila, certified professional organizer and author of Don’t Toss My Memories in the Trash, are 10 reasons seniors can’t or won’t

Bringing compassionate, dependable care to your neighborhood.

Plans built around your needs: Errands, transportation, light housekeeping, care, meal preparation, companionship.

give up their stuff and what to do about it.

1. THE SENTIMENTAL ATTACHMENT. The beloved prom dress represents the history and memories of the event; it’s not the dress itself.

Save only a piece of the dress to make a quilt or display in a shadow box. Scrapbooking and converting photos to DVDs are other ways to save treasured keepsakes without all the extra mess.

2. THE SENSE OF LOYALTY. Older adults who’ve received gifts from family and friends may be reluctant to part with them.

Encourage your loved one to give unused gifts back to the giver or grandchildren.

3. THE NEED TO CONSERVE. Seniors are the original green people.

Appeal to a senior’s desire to help others.

“You went through the Great Depression, now it’s time for you to let go and help someone else.” Counter a senior’s inclination to conserve by appealing to their desire to give back.

PA27720

4. THE FATIGUE. A home with a lifetime of memories can easily become too much for an older adult to handle.

Help seniors manage clutter by establishing online bill paying. Also, get your senior off junk mail lists, which can put them at risk for identity theft, and buy them a shredder.

5. THE CHANGE IN HEALTH. Seniors who have suffered a brain trauma or stroke, who are wheelchair bound or who are experiencing dementia may no longer be able to

manage household duties, which could contribute to clutter. If you see a health change, encourage your senior to visit his or her doctor and consider a professional organizer and caregiver to help your loved one.

6. THE FEAR. Seniors often fear what will happen if they give up their stuff, like the older adult who saved three generations of bank statements. Use logic and information to help seniors understand it’s O.K. to let go.
