Members of Eckley E. Patch Post #470, American Legion and Ladies Auxiliary had the annual Memorial Day program on Sunday afternoon. Post Commander Brian Radcliffe presided. After the colors were brought in and prayer offered by a member of the Auxiliary, Radcliffe said that the program was a remembrance of the men and women who served in the armed forces, and who died defending their country. This year’s honor roll listed nine Legionnaires who died this year. A rifle salute was fired by three members of the Legion and “Taps” was played by bugler Mi-

chael Reph. Mayor Fiorella ReginelliMirabito said, “On Memorial Day, we commemorate and celebrate with humble reverence the memory of absent comrades, all of whom epitomize and give true meaning to the words, ‘Valor, Sacrifice, Loyalty and Perseverance.’” She added, “Equal tribute needs to be given to all who are serving courageously around the world, during one of the most challenging periods in American history. At the same time, we pause to honor all generations of brave American service people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.” Continued on page 7
A ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, May 24 officially opened the Northampton Farmers Market for the 2016 season. Taking part in the ceremony at Uptown Park at 19th & Main St. were Mayor Thomas Reenock, Victor Rodite, who directs the market, Councilmen Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. and Anthony Pristash and two of the market vendors. The Northampton Senior High School Chorus sang the National Anthem and other songs to commemorate the opening on a beautiful sunny day in May. The market will be open each Tuesday now through September. Among the vendors are Twin
Maple Farms, Kettle Corn Popcorn Pit, Covered Bridge Farm, and Chartier Farms, selling fruits and vegetables, jams and jellies, and other wares. The market will remain at Uptown Park at least for this season, and may move to Laubach Ave. next year, but the consensus among the vendors is that they prefer the Main Street location since there is more traffic moving by. It is the borough’s newest park, and has sidewalks, a pavilion with flowers and other decorations, and a cow on wheels next to it. Rodite is proud of the market and invites everyone to “come on down” for fresh fruits, vegetables and baked goods all summer long.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Give Health A Chance
What if I told you that many who are sick do not give health a fighting chance? It sounds bizarre,
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
but in my experience it is more common than not. The strange part about this observation is that it seems to be getting much worse. To begin with, it needs to be
said that our bodies are designed to continually seek health. Stated another way, while we are going about our daily lives doing what we can to hurt ourselves, our innate healing and recuperation ability is working overtime to get us healthy. It does so as best it can and as long as it can. Whatever we eat, drink, do, think, or feel, it all affects our bodies. In this day and age, most are repeatedly exposed to consumption of nutrient poor foods, sugar laden beverages, little sleep, a job that is hated, incredible stress, broken relationships, addictions, and so much more, that is common to us all. No one is immune from this modern day human experience. It has to affect us. It does. From my natural perspective, I see that the body cannot maintain optimum health under these circumstances. Something has to give out sooner or later. Some may feel chronically tired. Some may lack concentration. Maybe others have body wide aches. In more chronic situations, disease begins to manifest. The earliest sign of a disease that’s developing is the change in your blood pressure or fatty liver. Even further along the road to sickness is diabetes. For many, there comes a time when you just get fed up with feeling terrible. You’re just finally so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired that you decide you’re going

to show up again. I am not saying that you won’t feel any better within a few months. I hope you do. The point is that even if you don’t feel that eating really healthy food “isn’t working,” please know that it is. In fact, I would say that going back to soda and potato chips isn’t going to help much either. If you think broccoli is giving
you gas, I would say great! Eat even more broccoli! If you don’t like the way Brussel sprouts taste, I would say it’s not about the taste. If you say you just can’t drink water, I would say it’s just my job to tell you. At some point you have to decide to give health a chance. You are worth it.

Proclamation
A PROCLAMATION FOR ACKNOWLEDGING AND RECOGNIZING THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 2016 AS “NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY” IN THE BOROUGH OF NORTHAMPTON
Whereas, Northampton Borough Council, Residents and
Mayor Thomas D. Reenock join with “Mayors Against Illegal Guns,” a program of Everytown for Gun Safety, and each June honor and remember all victims and survivors of gun violence, and declare that we, as a country, must do more to reduce gun violence, and
Whereas, every day, 91 Americans are killed by gun violence,
and the lives of countless others are injured, and
Whereas, Americans are 25 times more likely to be murdered with guns than people in other countries, and Whereas, protecting the public safety in the communities they serve is a Mayor’s highest responsibility, and support for the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens goes hand-inhand with keeping guns away from dangerous people, and Whereas, Mayors and law officers know their communities best, are the most familiar with local criminal activity and how to address it, and are best positioned to understand how to keep their citizens safe, and Whereas, June 2, 2016 would have been the 19th birthday of Hadiya Pendleton, a teenager who marched in President Obama’s second inaugural parade, and was tragically shot and killed several weeks later, and Whereas, to honor Hadiya – and the 91 Americans whose lives were cut short and the countless survivors who are injured every day – a national coalition of organizations has designated June 2, 2016 as the second annual National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and Whereas, an idea inspired by a group of Hadiya’s friends who asked their classmates to commemorate her life by wearing orange, they chose this color because hunters wear orange to announce themselves to other hunters when out in the woods, and orange is a color that symbolizes the value of human life, and Whereas, as Mayor, I am asking anyone to join me in this campaign by pledging to “Wear Orange” on June 2nd to help raise awareness about gun violence, and honor the lives and the lost human potential of Americans stolen by gun violence, and renew our commitment to reduce gun violence and pledge to do all we can to keep firearms out of the wrong hands, and encourage responsible gun ownership to keep our children safe.. NOW, THEREFORE, I Thomas D. Reenock, Mayor of the Borough of Northampton, Pennsylvania, do hereby proclaim Thursday, June 2, 2016 as “National Gun Violence Day,” and hope you will join me in wearing the color “Orange” to help raise awareness about gun violence in our communities.

Eight ideas- to Do or not to do Social Media
submitted by CAROL RITTER All businesses need to build their brand awareness. In other words, you need to get your brand’s name in front of as many people as possible. You might do that with over the top customer service, an amazing product or service, or by having a fabulous location. But, at the end of the day, when the competition is tough and folks have choices, we all want our business to be the final choice. Along comes social media, a free or relatively cheap way to build brand awareness. In order to transform brand awareness into new customers or sales, you may want to work towards increasing engagement with your audience. Engagement means that the audience is reacting to or responding to your posts on social media, primarily Facebook. A “like,” comment or share creates engagement.
Here are eight ideas for increasing brand engagement: 1. Refinery29 says keep your headline to 25-55 characters they average 20% more shares. 2. Research shows that people like short posts - keep them to less than 50 characters. 3. Post your image posts via Instagram, you will get 23% more engagement. 4. Check your stats - Facebook will tell you when it’s the best time to post, post at the suggested time. 5. Ask questions, it will prompt people to reply. 6. Post what your audience

wants to see, not what you want them to see. 7. Grab their emotions - post things that tug on their heartstrings. 8. Be unique - in order to stay one step above your competition, boring does not work. Some of the best Facebook pages are: The Onion, Gary Vaynerchuk, The Humane Society and the Purple Store, to name a few. Check them out and you decide what makes them a high engagement Facebook page. To do or not to do social media? You decide, it’s free, it’s powerful and it’s just so fascinating. Carol serves as a featured writer for The Home News.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Summer came early over the Memorial Day weekend, especially on Sunday. Must have hit more than 85 degrees, maybe even 90, the way it felt. So there wasn’t any rain, and all the Memorial Day programs went on as scheduled. That was really good, for it brought out a lotta folks to honor our veterans and remember those who gave their lives serving our country in so many wars. . . .And after that, they could enjoy back yard picnics and barbecues, play quoits or horseshoes, volleyball, or whatever with their families. I don’t think there were any community swimming pools open yet, but that should happen this weekend or next. It’s plenty hot enough. . . .Northampton High School graduation is this Saturday afternoon down at Lehigh University’s Stabler Arena. The year has gone by so fast, it’s hard to believe. Anyhow, best of luck to the graduates who will go on to college or take on jobs in the real world. It won’t be easy, but do your best and you’ll succeed. . . .There’s so much more going on this weekend, it’s mind-boggling – Kreidersville covered bridge festival, arts and crafts festival over in Nazareth, youth field day over in Stockertown, Paw Prints on the Canal in Northampton, a sportsmen’s division meeting out at Cabela’s in Hamburg, and the 35th Lions All-Star Soccer games over at Whitehall High School. Even a rose sale by the Nazareth Rotary Club. It’s spinning Ye Ed’s wheels. . . . There was plenty of baseball to watch on Memorial Day, too, if you have the right channel. Unfortunately, the Phillies are in a bit of a slide now, but Mets fans are happier, even though Chase Utley and the Dodgers toned ‘em down some. Even the Braves are doing better, although their fans call their games “practice” ‘cause they were losing so much. They’ve now won three of their last four games. . . .Glad to see that many groups are having benefits for the Bath Area Food Bank. They can use all the help that comes along – money and canned goods. . . .That was a nice
picture of Julie Rehrig in the paper last week after she graduated from East Stroudsburg University. . . . Get well wishes to Harvey Haupt and “Chick” Liberto of the Legion’s hearts club, who are ailing a bit these days. Herb Silfies returned to action, using a walker, but he’s looking good. . . . I hear the Turn-In restaurant is changing hands this week. . . .Let’s hope tropical storm Bonnie doesn’t head this way. . . .Almost time to eat, so I’ll cut this letter short. Elmira’s baking up some tasty spare ribs.

Creative Corner By KATHLEEN UNGER
One of a Series Wildwood by the Sea
Her name was Miss Augusta Plotts and she ran a boarding house in Wildwood by the Sea called the Wyndmoor, where we went every summer for a week of fun and sun. Our Girl Scout troop of 11 teenagers and two scout leaders started going to Miss Plotts’ place in the early 1950’s. Since my family never took vacations, the week-long jaunt to the Jersey shore was a real treat for me. I can still picture Miss Plotts (probably in her mid-70’s) with a full load of clean white sheets slung over her arm, taking the steps, one at a time, to the second and third floors of the rooming house to change the beds. She did all the work herself. She kept the place spotless and always had
a smile for the teenagers sprinting up and down the two flights of stairs. Miss Plotts would rent our group the entire third floor of her old clapboard boarding house since we needed to occupy at least five or six rooms. We would bunk two girls in a room at a rental cost of $2.00 per night per girl. The room contained a double bed, one chair, a bureau, a small corner hand bowl for quick wash-ups, and one light bulb hanging down from the ceiling in the middle of the room. We shared a full bathroom way down the hall and since no one else occupied any of the other rooms on the third floor but our group, we often times used the men’s bathroom when the women’s was occupied. Our accommodations were ‘no frills’ for sure. Miss Plotts did not allow any food or drinks in the rooms, but we would sneak up the back fire escape with sodas, crackers and candy bars for midnight snacks. On our first day at the beach, we usually got very sunburned and used up several jars of Noxema, trying to get relief from the

stinging, burning discomfort we felt when we dressed up for our nightly trek down the boardwalk to look for guys. One year, we all bought sailor hats and “broken heart” necklaces. We all wore jeans and sweatshirts imprinted with “Nazareth High School” and our sailor hats and people on the boardwalk thought we were an entertainment act since we were all dressed alike. They would stop and ask us where we were appearing. All of us squeezed into a telephone booth as was the fad for college kids during the 50’s. We had our first taste of cheese steaks in Wildwood and every year, upon arriving, it was a tradition to head straight for the steak shop for those yummy treats. It was a more innocent time for us.

East Allen Twp. approves Comprehensive plan by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
East Allen Township’s Board of Supervisors held a hearing on their comprehensive plan for long-range development at their meeting Thursday night. Former township engineer Jim Birdsall gave an update of the plan on recommendations of the township Planning Commission. It included traffic and road construction, storm water issues, options for development on the west side of Weaversville Rd., and the west side of Rt. 512 for public water and sewer. Solicitor Joseph Piperato reviewed the correspondence with all the adjoining municipalities and Lehigh Valley Planning Commission over the past several months regarding the Municipalities Planning Code. He asked for any public comment from the audience. A map was shown regarding development along Airport Road, which was said to make sense. Township Manager Debbie Seiple noted that the Township had not responded, and if they do, what would happen if East Allen had already acted on the comprehensive plan. Chairman Roger Unangst said they would continue updating and amending the plan as needed. The board approved the plan as it is. Intersection upgrade With expected tractor-trailer traffic from a proposed warehouse development at the intersection of Rt. 329 and Savage Road in Allen Township, the question raised by engineer Jim Milot was whether they should
reach out to the developer to have him pay for upgrades to the Franks Corner intersection of Rt. 329 & Airport Road. There had been a meeting with PennDOT for a study on how the industrial park would influence the Airport Rd. intersection. Earlier this year, Allen Township approved the Northampton Industrial Park plans on condition that the trucks travel east on Rt. 329 to reach Rt. 22. Milot asked if he should contact developer Mark Powell of Century Commerce LLC to see if he would pay for the cost of a right turning lane at Airport Road. It would involve changes to the traffic light. Chairman Unangst was not happy with the fact that East Allen will see all the trucks coming from Allen Township. Powell will be contacted about it, according to a consensus of the supervisors. Milot also discussed additionContinued on page 7

Mayor Mirabito concluded: “Memorial Day is a day of conflicting emotions for each of us – a blend of pride and mournfulness, gratitude and loss, and a deep sense of patriotism.” Commander Radcliffe urged everyone to visit local cemeteries and find tombstones where the American flag is flying, and read the inscriptions of the person who died. He said the day was a tribute and honor to have men and women who answered the call to serve. “It is a day of remembrance – the gunfire, their comrades who died in their arms. Men who still cry in the middle of the night. They shared comradeship, a brotherhood, and bonded with each other.” He said it is important that we keep sharing their memories. “Freedom is not free, but it is worth fighting for.” On Monday, members of the Bath Firefighters paid tribute to their deceased brethren when they placed flowers at their gravesites on Green Mount Cemetery.

More than 200 people attended the fourth annual Veterans Remembrance and Flag Retirement ceremony in Bushkill Township on a hot Sunday afternoon in celebration of Memorial Day. The Nazareth Community Band, directed by Ralph Brodt III, played patriotic music before the program started and State Representative Marcia Hahn served as emcee for the day. The Rev. David Schaeffer, pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Nazareth, offered the invocation. After the colors were brought in by Boy Scouts from Troop 44, Lizzie Brodt Zimmer sang a resounding National Anthem. Eighty-one flags were placed in honor of veterans, those on active duty, and reserve troops, with Sam Miller, a Nazareth High School graduate and junior at Bucknell University, reading the names and indicating their service in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard. Another 105 flags were dedicated in memory of the men and women who served their country and are deceased. Susan Kirk read all of their names and the branch of service in which they served. Miller was a member of Troop 74 and his Eagle Continued on page 11

Scout project was designing and installing the Veterans Memorial Flagpole, which was the center of Sunday’s program. Love in Vietnam Speakers for the program were John and Kit Cotton of Bethlehem Township. The couple met at the officers club at Tuy Hoa Air Base in 1969. An “Army brat,” she served with the Red Cross “Donut Dollies” and her husband was an Air Force fighter pilot. Kit told how the Red Cross unit logged 1.6 million miles as they offered a place of recreation and food to the combat troops when they were off duty in the Vietnam War. She said the girls tried to put on a feminine touch for the soldiers, and gave a program that was sensible and flexible, realizing that their listeners had lost brothers in combat. After Kit and John met, he was always around and the two fell in love. He had given her a ruby friendship ring that turned into an engagement ring. A Vietnamese councilman presided at their marriage ceremony in French. “I brought home the best souvenir, my husband,” she told the audience.
Lizzie Zimmer sang “God Bless America,” accompanied by the Community Band. Then Mrs. Kirk paid tribute to Beth Masiado, who as “Keeper of the Stars” has collected over 43,000 stars from flags that have been distributed in the Lehigh Valley. A wreath placed by the flags will be given to Gold Star Mother Carol Resh at Bethlehem’s ArtsQuest, whose son was killed in action in Iraq. She coordinates Wreaths Across America for the Lehigh Valley. Boy Scout Troop 44’s Scoutmaster John Salmento told the audience the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day, and the meaning of each color in the American flag. Instead of burning the flags in retirement, he said they should be cut up in parts and then incinerated. A flag was cut and the parts were distributed by Scott Backer and scouts of Troop 74 to relatives of veterans in the audience. In addition to the Boy Scouts, members of Girl Scout Troop 8609 participated. Members of the Army Reserve’s 744th Military Police Battalion based in Forks Township fired a rifle salute, and the program closed as Randy Baxendale played “Taps” on his cornet.

Tim Brent has called it a career, stepping away from pro hockey to pursue an opportunity outside of the sport. -Photo: Nina Weiss/The Home News
by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock) Having played for teams from coast to coast in the United States, to two years for his hometown team in the Toronto Maple Leafs organization and two years overseas in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) playing in places like Russia, Japan, Finland and the Czech Republic – it’s pretty easy to see that hockey has allowed Tim Brent to see the world. “I think when it’s something like hockey, which is obviously something I have loved for a long time and it’s been a huge part of my life, it’s never an easy decision,” Brent said via phone in a one on one interview with The Home News. After 12 years of professional hockey, the impending unrestricted free agent won’t have to worry about finding a new place to play hockey in the 2016-17 season. The 32-year-old Cambridge, Ontario native has decided to retire from pro hockey and has relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina to start a new chapter in his life, an opportunity outside of hockey that Brent said was just too good to pass up at this time in his career. “All of us have to kind of go through that process and understand that we can only play for so long,” Brent said about his decision to retire from pro hockey. “It was time. I still love the game of hockey and it’s given me and my family so much. I really owe it a lot, so it’s always really hard to walk away from that. I’m excited to move on in life and going to see how this next phase goes,” he added, unable to talk about exactly what his new venture outside of hockey is because the details have not been finalized yet. Brent's 12-year pro career saw him travel the world to play the
sport he loved. He amassed 207 NHL games, 354 AHL games and 93 games in the KHL where he won a championship with the Magnitogorsk Metallurg in 2013-14. “Not just to see parts of the world, but to meet the people that live there. I’ve gotten to play with guys from all over the world,” Brent explained, adding, “One of the greatest parts of our sport is the people that are in it and getting to meet so many great people over the last 12 years, those are the things that you really take away from it when you’re finished and you look back on your career. It’s the relationships with people that you spend every day with that makes it such a special sport.”
----------------------I truly tried to enjoy every day of it, so I don’t have any regrets there. Just really feel blessed and thankful for being able to do it as long as I did. Tim Brent ----------------------Brent ended his pro career this past season playing in the Philadelphia Flyers organization with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, his first season back in North America after two years in Russia in the KHL. “It was such a great experience for both my wife and I to be back in our comfort zone in an area where obviously there was a beautiful arena and a great fan base,” Brent said. “And an area where we got to enjoy the things we love so much, which is the outdoors away from hockey. It was a perfect place to play my last season. I really enjoyed it.” With the Phantoms this past
season, Brent tallied 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 52 games, missing 19 games after having surgery on his hand. After trying to play through the upper body ailment for five weeks, Brent opted for a second look and ultimately decided surgery was the best pursuit of action back in late January. As for what Brent will remember most about his playing days, there are plenty of experiences to look back on. “Breaking into the NHL, being able to play my first NHL game in Anaheim, being able to score my first NHL goal - all those experiences were a culmination of hard work, desire and passion for the game that started when I was eight years old,” Brent recalled. “There are so many little things I can go back and look at over my 12-year career that I’m just so thankful. I guess it’s hard to probably understand that for people that have never done it, but for a hockey player – this is something that’s so much a part of us.” “I’ve been playing since I was four years old. All of the work up until you actually play in the NHL is finally realizing there’s nothing really like it. You’ve put in so much time and effort and made so many different sacrifices to get there that it’s just really a special moment and a special time. I truly tried to enjoy every day of it, so I don’t have any regrets there. Just really feel blessed and thankful for being able to do it as long as I did.”
