Outdoors Adventures event again Hosted by Blue Mtn. Fish & Game

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The annual Outdoor Adventures sponsored by the Delaware River Shad Fishermen’s Association was held this past Saturday at the Blue Mountain Fish & Game Association in rural Danielsville. Nearly 75 young boys and girls participated in events at a selected number of stations that took place on land and in the lake water of the club. Although it was a misty, damp day, it didn’t faze them at all and they eagerly participated in learning what fun the outdoor sports can be.

With members of the shad fishermen’s group and other volunteers with the sportsmen’s club teaching them, they went from one station to another – nine in all. They included fishing, casting, canoeing, tree and plant identification, survival, knot tying, basic first aid, ethics, and archery.

Formerly called Fishing Education Day, the event is now known as Outdoor Adventures, because there’s a lot more that is involved with the outdoors and nature.

The day began at 8 a.m. and lasted until 2:30 p.m., with a

break in between for lunch in the clubhouse.

The shad fishermen received some financial support from the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, in which they are a member. Federation president Mike Topping said they were glad to give them $500 for such a fine project.

Dave Carl was thankful for the support as their organization was able to reach these youngsters and give them an appreciation of what the outdoors can mean to them.

The annual awards picnic that followed the 34th annual All-Star Soccer Classic sponsored by Dis-

74th Year, Issue No. 26 www.homenewspa.com

trict 14-K’s Charitable Enterprises, Inc. was held on Sunday, June 14 at the 26th Street Playground in Northampton.

Bangor High School’s Melissa Guydish, for the Colonial League girls, won the offensive most valuable player honors, while Lexi Gawelko of Northwestern Lehigh High School in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference was defensive MVP. Kourtney Cunningham of Whitehall High School was EPC’s offensive MVP

and Erica Bross of Parkland High School was named the defensive MVP. Four scholarships were also presented. They went to Brandon Herb of Northwestern Lehigh High School, Brian Heckman of Whitehall High School, Kelsy Lysek of Saucon Valley High School and Makenzie O’Brien of Moravian Academy.

District Governor Fred Folland welcomed the players, their parents and siblings, and the Li-

ons to the picnic on a hot, but pleasant, day. He also thanked the people who served on the soccer committee. DG-elect Karen Brady offered the invocation and then everyone enjoyed a luncheon provided by Estelle’s Catering.

Remarks were offered by PDG Willard Stratz, who has served on the Classic committee all these years, and who is moving to North Carolina. Noting that he just became a great-grandfather, he thanked all the student partici-

pants in the games and said he has enjoyed being a part of the program.

Gary Toth, who is a member of the all-star soccer committee, said he has enjoyed helping the Lions in the Classic, and wished the athletes good luck in college, advising them, “Get a good education and support soccer.”

DG-elect Brady said the Classic is a great event and good to see all the students turn out for it. She echoed Toth’s comments about education and its importance.

First VDG-elect Marsha Johnston said she was thrilled to see that a couple of the winners at the picnic are from her Northwestern Lehigh area, and wished all the athletes success.

Prizes that could not be awarded at the soccer games because of a thunderstorm were awarded in a drawing at the picnic, including a soccer ball, cash, gift cards, T-shirts, a jacket, and a bag pack.

lem across the board! Peripheral neuropathy effects the legs, feet, arms and hands. Symptoms include: loss of balance, tingling, restless legs, numbness, burning, freezing, weakness and throbbing pain. Not fun. Additionally, swelling, discoloration, fatigue and “heavy” feelings of limbs can occur. It can be common to experience extreme sensitivity to even light touch. I have patients who describe feeling like they are wearing socks when they clearly are not. To make matters worse, blood pressure abnormalities can occur and, of course, difficulty with sleep and routine activities of daily living further complicate this upsetting condition.

Some present to my office with thinking that they may just have sciatica or pinched nerves. They could and often do. However, while compression of sensitive nerve tissue is always evaluated for in my practice, PN goes significantly beyond and such cases require an advanced, multi-factorial, clinical type of approach.

With all this being said, neuropathies are a challenge to treat.

In the more advanced stages, I find that treatment is successful if even only 25 or 50 percent improvements are made.

Remember, this condition is not only how you feel but also about being completely unable to live your life as you want too. With PN, even simple tasks are a burden.

I recently observed a glaring example of how PN can disrupt the quality of life. I was travelling through Massachusetts recently and stopped at a country diner.

My wife and I saw a middle-aged gentleman painfully climb from his vehicle. Due to his poor balance and apparent weakness, he needed to cling to the door of his vehicle, and then shuffle down his hood. He grabbed onto bushes until he finally got to the walkway rails to the front door and just about collapsed on the front counter as he everso-slowly made his way into the restaurant. This gentleman’s legs were reddish/brown, swollen and significant varicose veins were protruding. My wife was upset to see it and candidly so was I.

June 25-July 1, 2015 3

From my natural perspective, once appropriately evaluated with a thorough history, blood work, circulatory evaluation and sensory exam, peripheral neuropathy can be likely improved upon. I recommend and utilize various FDA approved devices such as near infra-red lasers and nerve regeneration devices, vibration therapy, circulation improving techniques, along with a proven metabolic program geared towards neuropathy.

A side note needs to be made in that the Cancer Centers of America also use one of the techniques that I administer.

This is a big topic and all the nuances cannot be addressed in a single discussion. Please know that PN can be serious and debilitating; however you do have choices and possible avenues to obtain relief and improve your quality of life. My best to you.

Police Blotter Snafu Develops After Drug Raids; Suspects Released

After 14 people were rounded up in a drug raid last Wednesday, June 17 by Colonial Regional Police and the Northampton County Drug Task Force, it turns out 11 of them had to be released because a so-called confidential informant evidently played both sides of the fence, and he is now facing charges.

The raids took place in Bath, Northampton, Nazareth and Allen Township.

Text messages and social media in today’s technology was used by the suspects in apparently setting up and making drug purchases

that occurred in homes and in parking lots. Police thought they had a confidential informant who was making drug buys, as they conducted surveillance of the suspected areas and the purchases that were made as part of their investigation.

But it turned out that the informant colluded with the suspects and bought look-alike drugs from them. Detective Andre Stevens became suspicious that something wasn’t kosher after debriefing the young men that were arrested.

District Attorney John Morganelli said the informant met with the drug sellers and had them sell him powder that contained only a small amount of cocaine, just enough that it would test positive as a drug in the crime lab. So small in some cases, that they tested negative.

Morganelli said the informant split the sale profits and allowed the sellers to keep the real drugs.

With the scam uncovered, all the months of police investigation went down the drain, and only three men were held, the rest cleared for lack of real evidence.

These are the three others charged: Dominick Nixon, 22, of Bath; Christopher Janotka, 22, of Walnutport, and Colby Sicher, 27, of Whitehall. Among the charges: possession of drugs with intent to deliver and possession of drugs.

The informant was charged with two drug deals, and may also face another charge of making false reports to law enforcement. Drugs that police thought they found in the lengthy investigation included heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Police had originally filed the charges against the 14 suspects before district judges in Hanover Township, Nazareth and Lehigh Township. Among the locations where arrest warrants were issued were East Fifth Street, Newport Avenue, and Siegfried Avenue in Northampton, Old Forge Drive in Bath, Main Street in Nazareth, and Jeffrey Lane in Allen Township. A drug-searching police dog assisted the officers in at least one case.

Morganelli recommended releasing the following alleged offenders on unsecured bail: Aaron Scholl, Daniel Riley, Michael Wright, Brandon Fitzpatrick, Ryan Helm, Peter Snyder, James Hebebrand, Jr., Nicholas Cruz, Jared Hansler, Elijah Shoemaker and Nicholas Gowland.

New York Woman Dies in Scuba Dive

A Brooklyn, New York woman died on Tuesday afternoon, June 16 while on a recreational dive at the Dutch Springs water facility in Lower Nazareth Township.

Lora J. Murphy, 41, was pronounced dead at 3:40 p.m. in St. Luke’s University Hospital, Fountain Hill, after she was found underwater and unresponsive following the scuba dive at about 2:30 p.m.

Colonial Regional Police investigated the incident along with the Northampton County coroner’s office. Test results from an autopsy performed on Wednesday are expected to determine the exact manner of death.

Unfortunately, over the years, a number of similar drowning incidents have occurred at Dutch Springs.

Hit–and-Run Driver Strikes Bath Man

A Bath man sustained a broken leg this past Friday after he was struck by a car on Main St. in Bath. The driver fled the scene, according to Colonial Regional Police.

The incident happened at about 11 p.m., in front of 116 E. Main St. The injured man, who was not identified, lay in the street as the hit-and-run driver took off, first driving east and then possibly north.

Moore Township and Nazareth borough police were notified to be on the lookout for a possible dark colored Hyundai vehicle that was damaged. Police shut down Main St. between Walnut and Washington Sts. and were assisted by personnel from the Bath Firefighters.

No additional information was available.

So Fresh, So Clean There is a Fresh Pet, Fresh Market, Zerella Fresh, Fresh & Co. Then you see all of the “fresh” signs: everything fresh, fresh food, etc. So what does it mean?

My mother used to say, “Don’t get fresh with me!” Clearly the word has different meanings to different people.

How fresh is your business?

What is new and different? You have to stop with the “same old, same old” – type of thinking.

People are looking for the newest and most exciting customer service. Did you know that 86% of consumers will pay more for a better customer service experience? (RightNow Customer Experience Impact Report, 2011).

How big is that? The consumer has changed; they demand faster and better service, better products and something that is exciting and fresh.

You may want to think about your customer today. How can you do that? It starts with walking in your customer’s shoes and trying to change your perspective.

One of my clients told me that the tipping point for his business was the day when he started looking at things differently. He then decided to take some wellplanned risks.

While I believe in tipping well, I also believe that a person has to earn their money. When I walk into a restaurant and they know what I drink without asking, that’s a business walking in a customer’s shoes. I recently walked into a coffee shop and the barista started brewing fresh decaf as soon as I walked in. Wow, is that a good example of thinking from the customer’s point of view. Here are some tips for this kind of service:

1. Always notice everything about your customer.

2. Listen with both ears.

If they tell you their kid just won an award, mention it next time.

3. Ask what they think about your product or service. You will learn a lot.

It’s not easy, but if you start thinking differently today you can stay fresh to your customers. I’ve even started thinking about staying fresh, starting with my new

Child Protection Laws

by Representative Marcia Hahn Changes to child protection laws would be made under House Bill 1276, which passed the House last week and now sits with the state Senate. I have received a number of telephone calls and emails that contained questions and concerns resulting from Act 153 of 2014. In response, House Bill 1276 would do the following: • More clearly define who is and who is not subject to the background check requirements and, where possible, make the requirements less onerous for adult volunteers who work with children.

• Put into law exemption of volunteers from the $10 fees for the Department of Human Services child abuse clearance and state police criminal background check. On June 10, the administration waived the fees, effective July 25.

• Allow employers or organizations to accept non-original copies of the required documents on file, rather than the original copies to be maintained by the employer or organization.

BIG

• Permit recertification of the FBI background check clearance every five years, instead of every three years for employees who work directly with children.

Drought Watch – Northampton County has been added to the list of 37 Pennsylvania counties now operating under a drought watch. The very dry fall and below-normal precipitation from January to May continues to contribute to low groundwater and surface water levels throughout the state.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The Father’s Day weekend was fairly nice, and I reckon most families treated their dads pretty well, and a bit of a misty rain on Saturday didn’t spoil the weekend. The tropical storm that came up from the Gulf of Mexico threatened to put a damper on the backyard barbecues, but it didn’t happen, so everybody could enjoy their hot dogs, hamburgers, barbecued chicken, baked beans, macaroni and potato salad, and a cool brew.

All in all, it was a happy Father’s Day on Sunday, and the dads deserved it. . . . The creekside arts festival on Saturday was a success, and everybody had a good time there. It’s really nice that we have a group like the Business and Community Prtnership to bring events like that to town and turn up our culture a few notches. A big pat on the back to all of them who are involved. . . . Sorry to see that Paul Connolly passed away.

I didn’t know he was up in his late 90’s. My sympathy to Paul, Jr. and P.J. and other members of the family. . . .I see the Catholic church’s big picnic is coming up soon, on the 10th through 12th of July. Love those clams! . . . .Bushkill Township Fire Co. will be having their big carnival at the end of July, too. . . .Took notice of a couple events that are benefits by motorcycle riders – one called Ride for Hope that is a support for cancer victims over at East Allen’s Bicentennial Park on July 11th, and another called Bikers Remembering Bikers that starts and ends at the Bath Fire Hall, and benefits Dream Come

True, the organization for seriously ill children. . . .Phillies have a couple pitchers who gave them hope the past week. A first round draft choice who pitched a great game for the IronPigs on Thursday, and who about 80 folks from Moore Township had a chance to see. And the Phillies had a great pitching performance against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. And the young guys are hitting the ball, scoring big against not only the Cardinals, but the Yankees, too! 18 hits against the Bronx Bombers. Wow! So maybe there is hope for the future. . . .

Gas prices are hanging around the $2.79 mark, and that’s not too bad. Let’s keep it like that for a while. . . . With the increased school tax, look for the greeting in the mail very shortly. . . . The extra rain we had lately has sure made the corn crop grow tall in a short time. But that’s field corn.

I’m more interested in the sweet corn. What’s your favorite – yellow, white or bi-color? I’m rarin’ to go with any of ‘em, topped with a bit of butter and salt. . . .Summer’s just started, and next week is the 4th of July already, so it’s moving right along. Enjoy it wherever you are – in the back yard, or up in the mountains, or down at the shore. See ya!!

east Division, Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, on Sunday, June 7. It was hosted by the Delaware Valley Fish & Game in Pt. Pleasant, Bucks County.

Attending were delegates and other sportsmen from Bucks, Berks, Northampton, and Schuylkill counties. The division also includes Lehigh, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.

Fish & Boat Commission Jeff Sabo, former Northampton County Waterways Conservation Officer, and now with the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission’s Bureau of Law Enforcement in Elm, Pa., reported for the PFBC. He said that 26,700 fishing license buttons were sold for the fishing season and 17,503 permits issued for Fish for Free days. . . .The agency received a million dollars previously from natural gas drilling impact fees, and is hopeful of getting another million dollars under Gov. Wolf ’s plan.

The PFBC is debating on whether or not to increase the cost for trout stamps. While various methods are being explored to that end, it still must be approved by the state Legislature, he said.

Other highlights in his report: Wild trout streams are on the increase, but with these Class “A” streams regulations will now allow them to be stocked with trout. . . .Water skiing may be allowed on the Lehigh River. . . .A new class of WCO’s will graduate in June 2016, and in answer to Northampton County Federation president Mike Topping, he said a deputy WCO can’t make a report at local Federation meetings, and Northampton and Lehigh Counties will have to wait until the June 2016 graduation.

Topping also commented about all the hospitals in the Lehigh Valley and how their medical waste is being treated. He said the Pa. DEP does not have a good reputation, and may not be on top of this problem. Topping added that the sewage treatment plants we have are not designed to deal with all the new pharmaceutical compounds that are flushed down at present.

Game Commission Bruce Metz, Southeast Region Director of the Pa. Game Commission, reported that five of the six counties with Wildlife Conservation Officer vacancies have been filled. Locally, Tyler Kreider has been named to serve the southern part of both Northamp-

ton and Lehigh counties, and WCO Shawna Burkett, who previously had that duty, has transferred to Bucks County. Berks County still needs a WCO. He showed a photo of the 265 snow geese that were illegally killed by five Berks County hunters, over the legal limit of 25 each. They paid fines totaling $55,000 to the PGC. A Lehighton man also paid a stiff fine for killing a bald eagle and a great blue heron. He noted that an eagle at the Wild Creek Management Area swooped down and killed a goose.

Metz reported that the number of eagle nests continues to expand.

There are nests in Northampton County and two bald eagles were spotted in the Bath area.

Goose banding is starting at the end of this month. Avian flu is being linked to geese, but so far the major problem is with chickens in the Northeast U.S., where thousands of chickens had to be killed to prevent the flu from spreading, Metz said.

Also at Middle Creek, a WCO was assaulted by a group of young men when he was struck by their car door as they drove after drinking.

Wildlife Management Units 5-C and 5-D antlerless deer license allocations were changed by the PGC because of additional acreage.

Metz reported on the mentor program that if the child is under 7 years of age, the tag has to be transferred to the mentor after a harvest is made.

Bill Goodman of Bangor noted a lower population of groundhogs that he has experienced in hunting in Northampton, Lehigh and Berks counties and asked Metz if the PGC has made a study of it. None to his knowledge, Metz replied, but they are studying the grouse population to see if it has

been affected by West Nile Virus.

The PGC is checking with other states on Sunday hunting, and he expected a report on it at the commission’s June meeting, while conceding that Pennsylvania is more restrictive. There are many different opinions about Sunday hunting, and this is evident even among delegates of the Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs.

Asked about how the marketing campaign to push hunting is working, Metz said that it is partially successful, but it will take another year to see how effective it really is. Metz said there is so much social media today for young people that it may have a negative effect on hunting, However, Topping reported that there was a lot of interest shown in the recent SteelStacks outdoors program.

Wildlands Conservancy Carl Martin of the Wildlands Conservancy in Emmaus reported that the organization is working on some land protection projects, including one in Lehigh County and on hiking trails along the Jordan Creek. They also have a summer stewardship program in which college students are crew members.

The Conservancy added acreage of land in cooperation with the Game Commission; they’ve had a bike and boat program along the Lehigh River, and have a summer camp program that runs through August.

As the meeting concluded, such events as the Pa. Trappers Association rendezvous; September knife show in Easton; Outdoor Adventures on June 20 at Blue Mountain Fish & Game in Danielsville, sponsored by Delaware River Shad Fishermen’s Association; and the Northampton County Junior Conservation School, July 12 thru 19 at the 4-H Center, were publicized.

Coben. Hovering somewhere in the top 10 of the New York Times Bestseller list for weeks, I decided to see what all the fuss was about.

Coben wastes no time in capturing the reader’s attention, his no muss no fuss writing approach is refreshing as he is curt, gets to the point, and jumps right into his story. By page two our main character Adam, a happy go lucky dad “living the dream” is confronted by an anonymous man who simply refers to himself as “the stranger.” The stranger’s job is to confront unsuspecting victims and drop huge bombs upon them regarding deep dark secrets in their lives, shattering the mirage of the perfect life they inhabit. And what was Adam’s secret? Apparently, his wife, college sweetheart, faked one of her pregnancies via the questionable website fake-a-pregnancy.com.

The stranger’s secret turns Adam’s world upside down and he

begins to question everything: is his marriage a sham? Are his two current children even his? Who is this stranger? Why does he know this life changing, intimate detail in Adam’s life? Adam must find answers; first and foremost he confronts his wife Corinne.

When Corinne disappears/runs away the next day, Adam’s next priority is to discover the identity of the stranger and thus find his wife. Through doing so Adam happens upon much more then he’d been bargaining for, from blackmail to stolen lacrosse team money to kidnapping, even murder. Can Adam figure this all out before it’s too late?

The Stranger by Harlan Coben broaches the ever so relevant topic of what it really means to “live the dream” and puts a new perspective on “perfect,” not to mention brings to light how damaging a secret can be and how in the wrong hands, or perhaps the right

The Stranger

by Harlan Coben

2015 has brought book lovers a slew of new novels, one in particular, The Stranger by Harlan

(Family Features) Warmer weather, longer days and smells of sizzling meat on the grill can only mean one thing - summer has officially arrived. As you gear up for the season of backyard barbeques and spontaneous weekend getaways, don't let the cost of summer entertaining take a toll on your wallet. Consider stopping at ALDI, where you can find a variety of fresh produce and high quality cuts of grill-ready meat for up to 50 percent less* than traditional grocers, so you can spend less on your grocery bill and more on making summer memories last all year long.

Sizzle into summer with these tasty tips and techniques that will make cookouts, road trips and impromptu pool parties mouthwatering for less: * Less Flipping, More Grilling: When grilling for that backyard barbeque, don't make the mistake of constantly lifting the lid on your grill. Every time you lift the lid, you lose smoke, which will make your meat less flavorful! * Make More Time for Fun: Keep recipes simple so you can join the party and avoid getting

Lemon Pesto Mason Jar Pasta Salad

all you need for big flavor is to infuse simple spices into your meals. Whip up a quick dry rub with common spices like cumin, chili powder, oregano and peppercorns, and use when grilling meat, fish and even veggies. * Put a Fresh Twist on Comfort Foods: Add a twist to your barbeque staple foods to make your dish stand out. Stuff your burgers with jalapeÒo slices and cheddar cheese or top them off with unique flavors like pineapple, avocado or kiwi. It's fun to mix and match different flavor combinations, and ALDI carries everything from organic grass fed beef to fresh pineapple. * Keep It Cool in the Sun: Have homemade freezer pops in your freezer for impromptu pool parties and neighborhood slip and slides.

hands, it can collapse the foundations of an entire life and family.

The Stranger, both the book and the character, really questions what is right and wrong. Does sharing a secret, whether it’s your secret to tell or not, bring justice?

Does it matter if it’s yours to tell when you are serving a truth, perhaps even righting a wrong?

Does serving a truth in fact right a wrong, is that even possible?

While I appreciated Coben’s terse method of story telling, I was not a fan of his actual writing style.

It’s definitely not a requirement for a book to be written well to be on the New York Times Bestseller list, (Fifty Shades of Grey), however it’s still disappointing when it happens. This irked me throughout the book and probably got in my way of appreciating it to its fullest. Sure, the story was great, it was suspenseful, it had all the good elements to a good book, however I really think ev-

erything could have all come together in a much more mind blowing way had it been better written. I could not utterly and completely immerse myself in this story; I could only merely appreciate it from afar.

News Sermonette Pastor Glen Rice

Zion’s Stone UCC, Kreidersville / Northampton Even though the season of Easter is now officially behind us, I pray you continue to live every day as an Easter Day. Christ has risen and ascended. Praise the Lord!

I’m sure most of you have seen a television show which is connected from week to week; a serial or series type of program.

Have you ever sat down and watched one for the first time, maybe just once, in the middle of the series season? Everybody you know is talking so glowingly about this highly acclaimed drama and yet the whole time you’re watching it, you’re trying to figure out what’s going on. You just don’t understand what’s happening. You can’t figure out who the key people are and how they’re connected. You get part way through and finally change the channel because you think it’s a dumb show.

Reminds me a bit of attending worship. While attending worship once or twice a year, you try to figure out what’s going on. Who are the people sitting around you? Who is the pastor talking about from the bible? How do I fit in ? Why are we singing that hymn? You get part way through and think, this is a waste of my time. You turn off and don’t come back until ...

Yes, church worship can be a difficult place to be when you are unfamiliar with it. I too have problems attending worship when I worship in a different worship setting. Little is familiar except for the scripture readings (if they have any.)

Attending worship does become easier as you become familiar with the style of worship and become connected through scripture, song, prayer and listening to the preaching of the word. I have heard a few members who come to church once in a while, discussing how they don’t understand or they just don’t get anything out of coming to church. Coming is a good start but I believe if you come to church with the intention of attending worship while praising and thanking God, you may do more than just come to church.

Attending worship on a regular basis also allows you to figure out who the characters in the scripture readings are, not to mention who the characters sitting next to you are. Attend worship regularly and find a rhythm of worshipping God. You just might learn a little more about God and yourself.

Attending worship should not be a chore. Worship is not designed to bore you to death. Worship is to be a time of celebrating and thanking God for all He has provided us. Come, attend worship and sing songs of praise. You never know, with an open mind, you might just find yourself attending worship on a regular basis.

Will There Be Time?

The following was written by Linda Claire Scott: Uncle Dave had a heart attack on the autobahn in Germany while vacationing with his wife. He turned to her and said, “I'm tired,” and while still at the wheel of the rapidly moving vehicle he slumped over onto her shoulder and was gone. She had the presence of mind to maneuver the wheel and slow the car, bringing it to a stop on the side of the busy superhighway.

Uncle Dave was 68. When I got the news, I remembered his last visit to our home and our tense discussion of religious beliefs. He had said, “I want it to be made clear from the start I don't believe as you folks do, and I simply don't want to discuss it.” I do not know whether he grasped what we shared about Jesus Christ being the Son of God and the truths of the Bible. A college professor, he was logical and articulate. He clearly voiced his reasons for rejecting Christ's deity.

Now Uncle Dave was gone. How little time is given us here on earth came back to me with a jolt. So many tell me they'd like to believe as I do, but they don't have the time. They say they can always reconsider later, but they want to live as they please now. They think there will be time before they die to ask for God's forgiveness and place their life in His hands.

How arrogant to think we can outsmart God in the timing of our lives.

We prefer to wait until old age, thinking we will let go of things displeasing to God when they won't be as valuable to us.

Have you put off your decision for Christ? Do you think there is plenty of time? Do you think God will wait? His Word says, “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3). Accept Jesus now and you'll never regret it; in fact, you will rejoice forevermore. -- Pentecostal Evangel, 2/26/92 God’s time for your salvation is NOW! The Bible says, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).

time off from hockey in April and May after the 2014-15 season had ended, he’s already dialing things back up in preparation for the Flyers’ annual summer development camp and the 2015-16 season.

“I’ve been training for about four weeks now, just getting back into everything,” Luukko said. “Just getting that going

and getting ready for development camp in a couple of weeks.”

“It’s pretty much back to the grind, getting ready for next season and getting ready to start off my first pro season. I’m really looking forward to next season and playing a full year in Lehigh [Valley].”

by Allegheny County Health Department Secretary of Health Dr. Karen Murphy announced early this month the release of the 2014 Lyme disease cases by county report, which showed a 25 percent increase statewide in reported cases of this serious tick-borne disease over the previous year.

“Lyme disease is present in every county in Pennsylvania,” said Murphy, speaking at a press conference with Allegheny County Health Department Director Dr. Karen Hacker in Pittsburgh. “The prevalence of this illness serves as a reminder for people to better protect themselves from tick bites and to know the signs and symptoms of Lyme disease. For those with the disease it is important to seek early treatment to avoid any potential long-term health complications.”

In 2014, the Department of Health recorded 7,400 cases of Lyme disease in the commonwealth, compared with 5,900 cases in 2013. The increase in cases can be attributed in part to heightened awareness about Lyme disease, better reporting, and enhanced monitoring efforts, particularly in Allegheny County.

Lyme disease is an illness transmitted through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick (also known as a deer tick). Symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle aches and joint pain. A common early symptom is a red rash that looks like a bulls-eye.

Ticks can be found everywhere, but individuals should be especially cautious in areas with dense bushes or tall grass. When outdoors, use repellents with diethyltoluamide (DEET) and protective clothing.

After outdoor activities, check for ticks and, if one is found, promptly remove it using fine-tipped tweezers and applying even pressure on the tick as it is being removed.

Pennsylvania leads the nation in reported cases of Lyme disease and a recent study found that blacklegged ticks were found in all 67 counties.

The Department of Health urges prevention, early detection and treatment in order to prevent serious health issues.
