Agriculture Department warns Consumers to report unsolicited, Mislabeled seeds received by mail
Submitted by SHANNON POWERS Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding has warned consumers to properly discard and report unordered and mislabeled seeds shipped from overseas. Consumers nationwide have received seeds in packages labeled as jewelry. These seeds may contain plant diseases, weeds or invasive plants that could harm Pennsylvania's agriculture industry and ecosystem. "Seeds sold in Pennsylvania are rigorously tested to ensure

that they are genetically pure and regulated to ensure that what's on the label is what's in the package," Secretary Redding said. "Planting seeds without knowing what they are can wreak havoc with our environment, destroy agricultural crops and incur costly control efforts for years to come." Seeds labelled as jewelry are likely a scam known as "brushing." Companies boost online sales by purchasing their own products through fake buyer accounts created by the company. The products are shipped to a real address, to someone who didn't order the item. The seller writes a positive review of their items from the fake buyer account. In the past, scammers have sent empty packages. Recent packages have been filled with
unlabeled seeds. Consumers who receive unsolicited seeds are asked to retain the seeds and packaging. If opened, double bag and seal the seeds. Do not plant them or discard loose seeds. Report the package to the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) confidential Antismuggling Hotline, 800-877-3835 or email SITC.Mail@aphis.usda. gov. USDA will provide further instructions. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's seed program licenses seed distributors, and analyzes and certifies seeds to help ensure that seeds are free of pathogens, invasive plants and noxious weeds.

In today’s column, Larry Oberly shares some current photographs of the Weaversville area, and we relate the properties to the history of the village. The former Howertown Rose Nursery was a dairy farm. Mr. Samuel Schrantz purchased the farm and converted a portion of the property into a popular retail rose garden. Full of energy, he was also employed at Universal Atlas Portland Cement Company, in charge of its landscaping. The plant manager, “Butch” Boucher, wanted the plant grounds to have an attractive lawn and shrubbery landscape. On the east side of Weaversville Road was the Kozero — later Kozero & Miller — Roofing and Hardware store. Kozero’s excellent roofers started their business in Northampton. As their business prospered, they constructed a new store on Weaversville Road. They later became affiliated with Ace Hardware. Once again, the popular business needed to expand, so they purchased a site on Route 329, with the ownership being assumed by Mr. Dale Miller.
The land of Mr. Kozero’s Weaversville store was the former farm of Joseph Moran. An immigrant, Joseph and his wife worked extremely hard on the small farm. He was the last farmer in the area to replace his horses with a modern tractor. Old-timers told me a very interesting World War II story. With the outbreak of World War II, there was a major need for industrial workers, especially at Bethlehem Steel. If you were able bodied, you were hired. One day, a representative from Bethlehem Steel came to the village and visited men who were not eligible for military service. One was Joseph Moran. Although he had no factory experience, he and a few neighbors were hired. They had no automobiles, so a daily bus transported them to Bethlehem Steel. Our village justice of the peace was Mr. Frank Kramlich. A Spanish-American War veteran, he maintained an office in his home. The village regarded him as its attorney who could answer legal and tax questions when society was less complex. More visitations in two weeks. Come along!

The Truth Hurts by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
We all have been around long enough to understand that there are benefits and consequences of our actions and clearly our inaction. Whether it pertains to the world around us or the world within us, these natural laws are inescapable. I have oft learned the hard way in many matters, yet I have also had mentors to guide me through sticky times and/or assist with helping me pick up and mend broken pieces. Additionally, I have seen with my eyes, heard with my ears, and grappled physically with many issues “common to man” as the saying goes. I bet by and large you can say the same. For sound, tried and true clarity on all things, you truly need to look no further than Proverbs 1-31 and Psalms 1-150. Contained in these scripture passages are the greatest teachings, reminders, warnings, chastisements, wisdom enhancing, discernment
developing, love enduring, spirit strengthening, and faith solidifying words that have been handed down through the ages. Saying as much falls far short of what should be said and expanded upon yet it’s the best this commoner can do. It has always struck me that there are 31 Proverbs. Essentially one to take to heart each and every day for a month…repeat. The fact of the matter is that as I dig into this teaching time after time I take away something new. Maybe new isn’t the optimal word. Maybe different would be another way to express it. Clearly the actual words on the parchment paper do not alter themselves from one reading to the next. No, it has to be the case that somehow I changed, at the very least my perspective changed in some manner so that the take away was different than the read before. Whether I changed, my situa-

NAZARETH AREA Morningstar Living Memory Café By Senior Solutions is open Submitted by LIZ BRANDL Morningstar Living recently opened a Memory Café to offer a free, accessible and welcoming environment for people with dementia and their care partners. Dementia is a devastating disease that affects the ability to function on a daily basis. The farreaching impact on the quality of life for people who have a dementia-related disease is serious. The Morningstar Memory Café provides family caregivers with resources and programs to help them help their loved one who has dementia. It provides a safe place for people with memory
loss and their care companions to come together to socialize, make new friendships and to support one another. The Morningstar Memory Café by Senior Solutions is held at the Advent Moravian Church located at 3730 Jacksonville Rd., Bethlehem. The church is providing meeting space for these gatherings as part of its outreach mission. The social gatherings are facilitated by professionals certified as Dementia Specialists and trained volunteers from Senior Solutions. “This is not a place to ‘drop off’ a family member or friend who you’re caring for,
HOLY FAMILY CLUB NEW OUTDOOR TENTED PATIO Members always welcome Non-members can join Sun-Thurs Masks must be worn
but rather, it’s a place to socialize with others who are caring for their loved one, and enjoy activities and refreshments with your loved one,” said Irene Killiri, Executive Director, Home and Community Based Services for Senior Solutions. “The goal is to provide caregivers and their loved one with a ‘break’ from their routine by providing music, games, activities and refreshments… in a welcoming and accessible environment.” The Morningstar Memory Café is free of charge for all participants, but you must reserve a space to attend. Information about dementia and other resources will be available at every meeting. The next meeting is on Thursday, August 6, from 10 a.m. to noon. Call 610-258-0700 to reserve your space. COVID-19 safety precautions are being followed with all participants re-
quired to wear a mask and maintain physical distancing. Morningstar Senior Living, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Nazareth, PA. In 1988 the organization opened the first Continuing Care Retirement Community (now named a Life Plan Community) in Northampton County, Moravian Hall Square. In response to the surge of baby boomers, during May 2017 Morningstar Living began construction of its second campus, Heritage Village, in Upper Nazareth Township. Townhomes and cottages on the Heritage Village campus range in size from 1,450 sq. ft. – 4,000 sq. ft. The first residents began to move into Heritage Village in spring 2018. Today Phase 1 and Phase 2 are complete. Construction will continue in further phases until the 50+ acre campus is complete.
Morningstar Living also owns and operates Senior Solutions a Home Care and Care Management business located in Easton, PA providing services to people who choose to remain in their own home For more information call Liz Brandl at 610-746-1327 or email lizb@moravian.com.

tion changed, my circumstances changed or my feelings and emotions were in a different place is irrelevant. What is relevant is that when that precise moment of clarity, and albeit brief understanding or awareness, strikes you the impact goes deep. When such a realization isn’t all kittens and flowers and leans towards the “depravity” of a situation, self or otherwise that moment, can and typically does hurt. The truth can hurt, nevertheless it must be faced. Perhaps I can veer back into “my own lane” by giving a simple example of facing a realization that a present health condition has been influenced directly by a factor of what we have done to ourselves. That rude awakening hurts doesn’t it? It does. No two ways about it. Now saying the truth hurts almost sounds like someone would say that to you or me to hurt feelings. I get that and it does. Typically some level of emotional angst ensues doesn’t it? It sure does from my experiences. I can tell you though; I have never found more freedom than facing that truth, addressing the hurt, and facing those consequences like a man. I can share that, looking back after the dust settles, I have never been the worse for it. Today, in these strange times, I would encourage you all to dig deep into the truth of matters even if it hurts. Not fake truth, someone’s truth, nor my truth or your truth...the truth which truly surpasses any and all understanding. Get after it. Proverb 3: 5-8. My best to you.

On July 20 at 5:10 p.m., CRPD were dispatched to Walmart, located at 3722 EastonNazareth Highway for a check of the welfare of an unattended toddler in the parking lot.

www.HomeNewsPA.com
minivan which was running. While the witness waited for police to arrive, the mother exited the Walmart with other children and explained that the child was sleeping when she arrived and she had not wanted to wake the child. The temperature was approximately 91 degrees and the mother left the vehicle running with the AC on. The mother and children left prior to police arrival but the witness obtained the vehicle registration. Through investigation, police were able to determine the offender, 39-yearold Evarlyne Omari of Easton. She admitted to police it was a 'terrible mistake' leaving the child unattended. She will be charged with endangering the welfare of children and leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle. All charges will be filed through District Judge John Capobianco's office.
