ALL ROADS LEAD TO BATH Submitted by LINDA WASHBURN In spite of an ominous weather forecast, Mother Nature cooperated and on June 11 Salem UCC of Moorestown held the annual strawberry festival in our shady church grove. Many people arrived before 3 p.m. so they wouldn't miss out on any of the delicious homemade food. The festival special was strawberry shortcake with a choice of
four kinds of ice cream. One hundred pounds of sausage for sandwiches and 100 pounds of chicken barbecue sold out early. The cabbage (100 pounds) and noodles with browned butter sold out before the band took its first break. The Country Rhythm Band has played the festival for approximately 25 years and said that they will be back next year. The festival is for all ages with games for the chil-
dren and bingo for the young at heart. There is always a cakewalk and prize raffle. The blueberry festival will be held on Saturday, July 9 and the peach festival on August 13 each from 3 until 9 p.m. We have many picnic tables and benches, or you may bring your lawn chair. Salem UCC of Moorestown Mission Statement is: "Provide a friendly, kind, and caring en-
vironment where all people are welcome and encouraged to grow in discipleship, faith, and fellowship, embodying God's love for all.” Come worship with us. Our summer Sunday worship service is held at 9:30 a.m. either in our air-conditioned Fellowship Hall, or on the second and fourth Sundays of the month we have a casual service in the beauty of God's creation in our church grove.
A Special 75TH Anniversary Keepsake Bath Supplement Coming In August 2016
Moore Township to buy Sunset Hills for farmland preservation by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Moore Township’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, June 7 voted to buy 39 acres of land that were at one time planned for a 16-lot residential subdivision called Sunset Hills at E. Dannersville & Smith Rds. and turn it into farmland preservation. The cost to buy it from Ivy Land Partners LLC is $560,000, or about $15,500 lower than its apprised value.
The money for the purchase will come from the township’s land preservation fund of about $4-million, which came about in a 2005 referendum approved by voters, taking 0.25% in earned income taxes. Since that time, Moore Township has been a leader in farmland preservation across all of Northampton County, saving 1,958 acres of land on 29 farms. Reportedly, three more farms will be added this year and another
four in 2017. The township purchases land, secures agricultural deed restrictions with the county’s help, and then sells the land to a farmer. In another item under land preservation last Tuesday, the supervisors awarded a bid to Richard Check for cutting of orchard grass at township property. Other matters • Thomas Jones was hired as a historical preservation planner for the Historical Commission.
• The board voted to advertise for bids on paving of E. Best Road. • Approval was given to a credit reduction and start of maintenance for S & S Custom Homes. • A resolution approved naming of Recreation Center roads. Bids will be received for an illuminated double-sided message board at the front of the Municipal Building.

Simplify Tr y i n g to write an article about simplification is harder than it seems. Should this article discuss how cleaning the pantry and junk drawer out would help make your life better? Or should we cover techniques that, quite simply, allow for us to manage our schedule better? Of course, I am compelled to bring any discussion back around to the positive health implications. Clearly, we can go in many directions. This much I do know… the world has become overly complicated. We

I picked up a book by Bill Hybels, a well-known author and founder of Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois. His newest publication hit the nail on the head. I was/am looking to simplify and his book was entitled Simplify. This reading is fantastic. In fact, I would say the discussions truly struck my heart. The take away points clearly will be different for each and every one of us depending on our circumstances; neverthe-
are so high-tech, yet so out of touch with each other. Maybe we are even out of touch with ourselves…and that’s the scary part. In my own personal journey to unburden, de-stress, and simplify, I searched for material to help me with the journey. As I often do, I turn to Christian authors and look to find what scripture reveals. Some time ago Continued on page 4

less, I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. When I was younger I wasn’t thinking about simplifying my life. I was revving up for marriage, career and children. Fastforward to many gray hairs later and suddenly simplifying is taking center stage. Now the thought of complicating my life gives me an upset stomach. I want no part of anything that detracts from peace and joy. Part of simplification involves taking the time to define what is truly important in your life. On a trip home from a chiropractic conference in Nebraska, I wrote down what was important. That list filled not one, but two full sheets of paper double sided. I then went back over the list several times and started to jot down why I felt they were so important. I must tell you

this was a real eye opener, as I couldn’t come up with a good reason for a few of them. For sake of brevity, I will share that clearly the most important things in our lives are not “things” at all. The most important aspects to life are relationships with our loved ones. The most precious commodity isn’t income, it’s time. The older we get, the more precious time becomes. Looking back over my list through these goggles, my fourpage list of important things in my life whittled down to about three quarters of a page. Reading over my high priority list gave me a sense of peace. My next step has been to act on my high priorities and minimizing all the rest. In a nutshell… simplifying. You will come up against obstacles in the course of simplifying. I have. What I have found is that my priorities for me are much different than the priorities others have for me.

Local Student wins grand prize in national Slogan Contest Submitted by SUMMER WALKER Local Bath resident and Moore Elementary 5th grade student Rachel Zeitner was recently awarded Grand Prize in the first annual Student Art and Slogan Writing Contest, hosted by the National Watermelon Promotion Board (NWPB) and The Education Center. The contest – which was held January 1, 2016 through March 1, 2016 – invited Elementary-aged students from around the country to create watermelon works of art and slogans. Rachel’s slogan was selected from more than 300 artwork and slogan entries and reads, “When life gives you watermelons, give a smile.” “Rachel’s slogan was upbeat and perfectly captured the idea that watermelon brings about happiness,” said Stephanie Barlow, NWPB Senior Director of Communications. As a grand-prize winner, Rachel received a $100 gift card in addition to $100 to go towards a “watermelon party” for her entire class. Rachel’s teacher – Miss Maxwell – was awarded a $100 gift card as well. As part of the contest, the Watermelon Board encouraged teachers to utilize a toolkit of resources including a classroom watermelon lesson, investigation project (grades K-2) and research project (grades 3-5). Slogan and art starter guides were also provided to teachers to help intro-
duce students to slogans and how to create effective artwork. To view some of the incredible artwork and slogan entries submitted by students, visit watermelon.org or @WatermelonBoard on Facebook. The views expressed in student artwork or slogans do not represent those of the National Watermelon Promotion Board or United States Department of Agriculture. About National Watermelon Promotion Board The National Watermelon Promotion Board (NWPB), based in Winter Springs, Florida, was established in 1989 as an agricultural promotion group to promote watermelon in the United States and in various markets abroad. Funded through a selfmandated industry assessment paid by more than 1,500 watermelon producers, handlers and importers, NWPB mission is to increase consumer demand for watermelon through promotion, research and education programs. Watermelon, the produce leader in lycopene, is a multivitamin unto itself, with each serving providing an excellent source of Vitamins A and C and a good source of Vitamin B6 with only 80 calories.

The Worst Customer Service in the World
I spent the past week traveling and the customer service was challenging at times. I have a philosophy: “When restaurants aren't busy, the service goes down and takes longer.” Pay attention next time you show up for lunch around 2:30 p.m. when the employees are gabbing, eating and not paying attention to the customers. It happens all the time. So, I was in a coffee shop at 3 p.m. and there is no one to be found. Finally, after five minutes I went “behind the scenes” where I heard someone talking. I said, “Excuse me, is someone working the counter?” The employee responded, “I’m getting a delivery now.” What? I’m thinking you’re getting a delivery so I can’t order iced tea? At this point the employee was aggravated. I continued to be polite, ordered an unsweetened iced tea (it was National Iced Tea Day) and she tells me that the iced tea was sweetened with oranges. I’m interested but when I tasted it, it was loaded with sugar. She insisted there was no sugar in it. I gave up; I paid and threw it away. Here’s the problem, so many times we cave to miserable customer service because we don’t want to upset them any more… being polite, kind, interested and service-oriented is their job. Being a smart aleck or an uninterested employee is just not acceptable. Who’s at fault? Of course, it’s the owner, leader, etc.
Three lessons when considering good customer service: 1. I’m wondering if making money is far more important than taking care of your customer.
2. Is leadership to blame? No training, no accountability, which equals employees who just don’t care. 3. Sales and customer service always must come before deliveries.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The weather’s been cool and pretty nice lately, even though a bit windy on Sunday. Let’s hope it’s that way (without the wind) again this Saturday when the Creekside Arts Festival is held down along Monocacy Creek Park. I understand it goes from
11 o’clock in the morning till 5 o’clock at night.

Hats off to the musical directors and all the choir members for patriotic music that makes our hair stand on end we’re so proud of our country. . . . Unfortunately, it wasn’t that way down in Orlando, Florida at about 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning – a massacre of 50 people and 53 others hurt in

One of a Series First Day of School
As I watched the children and parents waiting for the school bus on the first day of school at the bus stop, I reflected on the difference between my first day of school in 1944 and today’s children at the local bus stop. Several parents were carrying video cameras and taping every move of the children as they waited for the bus and eventually boarded the big yellow vehicle to take their precious ones to the beginning of a 12-year learning experience. They waved goodbye and called out their children’s names long after the bus pulled away. My mother hand-made a new dress for my first day in first grade.

in good hands with my teacher, Miss Helen Henry. Miss Henry was a kindly, grey-haired teacher with her hair pinned up in a small knot. She took me by the hand and led me to a seat in the front row of the small classroom. It was there I would learn the ABC’s, multiplication tables and reading. Several days later, it was my father’s turn to take me to school. As I climbed into his big truck, I could hardly reach the seat. I was very nervous. When we got to the school, my dad opened the passenger door from his side of the truck and pushed me out. He said, “Go inside.” And then he drove away, going on to work. Wow, I thought. . . .I’ve got no choice but to go inside. And so I did and was again greeted by Miss Henry, who cared for us little ones like we were her own children. As I grew older, I walked to school with the older children from my neighborhood. They started gathering at the top of Shimer’s hill and by the time they got to my house, there were perhaps 18. I joined them and soon the group numbered about 30, walking in a large group to school. The large basement was the place to roller skate on rainy days and we learned to dance the waltz and the polka in that cold cement floor basement. The “Blue Skirt Waltz” was very popular then and we learned the polka to “Charley Was a Boxer” and “She’s Too Fat for Me.” We

Christian Marti returns to His native Switzerland
Christian Marti will be playing pro hockey in Switzerland next season. -Photo Nina Weiss/The Home News
by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock) After an injury-filled first season of pro hockey in North America, Lehigh Valley Phantoms defenseman Christian Marti is returning to his native Switzerland – signing a three-year contract with the ZSC Lions in Switzerland’s top pro league. Marti had one year left on his contract in North America with the Philadelphia Flyers organization, but the contract had an outclause stating that Marti was free to return to the Swiss’ National ‘A’ League (NLA) if he wasn’t in the NHL by December according to reports overseas. The Bulach, Switzerland native gave North American pro hockey a try, signing with the Flyers on May 1, 2015. Unfortunately for Marti, an offseason shoulder surgery caused him to miss the first month of the Phantoms’ season and a subsequent shoulder injury in his sixth career AHL game caused him another two month absence. In all, Marti was limited to just 27 games with the Phantoms last season – tallying one assist and looking unconfident on the ice at the AHL level. The injuries he sustained early on in the season were simply too much to overcome. "It sucked big time,” Marti said back in mid-January when he was ready to return to game action
again. “I came here with so many goals, with high expectations and most of the time the guys saw me in the trainer's room. I was pretty upset.” Marti’s departure leaves Lehigh Valley with five defensemen under contract for the 2016-17 season – Robert Hagg, Sam Morin, Jesper Pettersson, Travis Sanheim and Reece Willcox. Offseason dates to remember: Friday and Saturday, June 2425: The 2016 NHL Entry Draft in Buffalo, NY. Wednesday, June 29: The deadline to tender qualifying offers to restricted free agents in order to retain their rights at 5 p.m. ET. Friday, July 1: Free agency begins. July 5-11: Flyers annual development camp in Voorhees, New Jersey. September 28: Philadelphia Flyers vs. New Jersey Devils, NHL preseason game at the PPL Center.

“Salvation Is Of The Lord”
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and “cry against it; for their wickedness…But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD” (Jonah 1:2-3). The Lord sent a great wind out after the ship resulting in Jonah’s confession to the men on the ship that he was running from God and his advice to throw him overboard. They tried to save Jonah but ended up throwing him over and getting saved themselves. “Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD” (Jonah 1:16). The next verse says, “Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.” Finally Jonah humbly repented concluding that “Salvation is of the Lord!” (Jonah 2:9). Then “the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.” Again God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and “preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.” Jonah obeyed. The people of Nineveh believed and repented. Yes, “Salvation is of the Lord!” It is of the Lord—not of men—not of human abilities (Hosea 1:7). God alone quickens the soul "dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1). He is both "Alpha and Omega" The Beginning and The End of our salvation! (Revelation 22:13). Salvation is “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5). Salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6). “For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost” (1 Thessalonians 1:5). J.I. Packer said, "We must never forget that it is God who saves. It is God who brings men and women under the sound of the gospel, and it is God who brings them to faith in Christ. Our evangelistic work is the instrument that He uses for this purpose, but the power that saves is not in the instrument: it is in the hand of the One who uses the instrument.”

St. Luke’s Stroke Centers nationally Recognized for Excellence again
submitted by MARIELLA MILLER For the second consecutive year, the St. Luke’s Allentown Hospital and St. Luke’s University Hospital in Bethlehem have received the Get With The Guidelines— Stroke Gold Plus, Target: Stroke Elite Award. This award from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association recognizes demonstrated clinical excellence in the treatment and care of stroke victims based on national standards and evidence-based clinical protocols. According to Jessica Heckenberger, MSN, RN, Stroke Center Coordinator, St. Luke’s University Health Network, “St. Luke’s is honored to be part of an elite group of hospitals recognized with this award. To achieve Get With The Guidelines – Stroke Gold Plus, Target: Stroke Elite Award status hospitals must demonstrate at least 85 percent compliance in each of the seven key Get With The Guidelines—Stroke Achievement Measures over 24 consecutive months. This includes treating 75 percent of acute ischemic stroke patients with thrombolytic therapy within 60 minutes of hospital arrival.” Additionally, St. Luke’s Warren Campus was honored with a silver award from the distinguished organization, also for the second time. The New Jersey campus was first recognized in 2014. St. Luke’s Miners Campus received a silver award from the organization, and St. Luke’s Anderson Campus was recognized with a bronze award, each for the first time in 2016. First launched in 2003, the Get WithThe Guidelines recognition program analyzes clinical database information from primary stroke centers throughout the United States. “I would like to thank our EMS providers and all of the staff that work diligently every day to not only provide optimal care but to improve the quality of life for our patients that have suffered a cerebral vascular accident,” said Heckenberger. About St. Luke’s St. Luke’s University Health Network (SLUHN) is a non-profit, regional, fully integrated, nationally recognized network providing services at six hospitals and more than 200 sites, primarily in Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, Schuylkill, Bucks, Montgomery, Berks and Monroe counties in Pennsylvania and in Warren County, New Jersey.

Home Improvement Make Your Vacation Home Work For You
(NAPSI)—One of the last things most homeowners think about when buying the vacation home of their dreams is work. They’re envisioning more getaways and time with family and friends. However, if and when they decide to rent out their property to bring in some extra revenue, that can be a different story. While peer-to-peer sharing sites have gotten owners thinking it’s easy to become a do-it-yourself host, a new Kelton survey found that nearly nine in 10 homeowners who rented out their home themselves “dread” something about doing it on their own, including the very things travelers find most important. “It’s not uncommon to hear the same story from owners who switch from managing their home themselves to working with a professional manager,” said Mary Lynn Clark, president, Wyndham Vacation Rentals North America. “They initially think renting on their own, without any commission charges, is the best route. But they quickly realize the work involved. The study showed that not only does working with a professional manager get you more bookings, it saves you time, which is invaluable to most.” For owners without the expertise or bandwidth to go it alone, a professional
manager might help. In fact, among owners who have rented on their own and through a professional management company, more than seven in 10 prefer the managed option. Here are four common headaches a professional manager can help you avoid: • Regular maintenance: When your vacation home is your escape, it’s draining to find it comes with a to-do list. According to the survey, chief complaints among homeowners who have rented their home themselves include handling inspections (48 percent) and cleaning the house (48 percent). • Service issues: Dealing with guest issues is the top-cited complaint among homeowners who rent their home themselves. If the air-conditioning breaks, you’re responsible for getting that issue fixed quickly or explaining to your renters they’ll no longer have that amenity during their stay. Most professional managers can ensure your guests have 24/7 assistance. • Time commitments: Owners who work with a professional manager save an average of four hours with every booking, which can add up to nearly 130 hours each year. If you have the time and a knack for hospitality, renting can be a fulfilling job. If you’re just
looking to reap the revenue benefits, consider enlisting a manager to handle your home’s rental needs. • Marketing pressures: It takes marketing savvy and dedication to get your property booked. Homeowners who have rented both on their own and through a professional manager feel a manager is more effective at attracting renters, marketing their home across the appropriate channels and filling their home during slow seasons. Close to seven in 10 even feel they would get more bookings with a professional manager.
