submitted by KAREN GRUBE The regular meeting of the Moore Township Historical Commission was held at the municipal building on April 27. Supervisor Dick Gable gave an update on the Edelman Schoolhouse. Also, President Charmaine Bartholomew noted that a small group of members met with Thomas Jones, a historic conservationist at the schoolhouse. Mr. Jones is affiliated with many historic groups throughout the country. He gave his evaluation and suggestions on how to proceed with the restoration of the schoolhouse. He stated that the commission has a good start on a schoolhouse that still has many original attributes. He would be willing to work with members to list the schoolhouse on a historic registry, if the commission decides to proceed in this manner. The commission is in the process of gathering photos for a pictorial book of Moore Township. The members continue to ask residents for donations of photos to be copied and returned to the owner. The commission has a long list of photos that are needed. The list includes: local gun clubs, Danner’s Grove, Birchwood Acres, Topher’s (Jolly Joe’s) Grove, Beersville Pool, Moorestown Grange, Dannersville Hotel, Beersville Hotel and the village general stores. Also, if you have class photos from a one room schoolhouse, photos

of past sports teams, church picnics or community service groups they would be appreciated as well. These photos can be dropped off at the township municipal building or given to one of the members of the commission. These members are Charmaine Bartholomew, Kim Silfies, Janet Kline, Helen Meyers, Dan Tanczos, Arthur Edelman and Thomas Verenna. The commission is always looking for members or volunteers.

Pa. family physicians on Zika virus: be vigilant, but Don’t panic submitted by BRIAN PEACH A few cases of the mosquitoborne Zika virus have cropped up in Pennsylvania over the last few months. As summer approaches and officials prepare for possible Zika outbreaks, Pennsylvania’s family doctors are telling their patients to be vigilant, but not to panic over this potential public health threat. According to the Pa. Dept. of Health, the Zika virus is mainly spread through the bite of an infected mosquito, although it is rarely spread from mother to child or through sexual contact or blood transfusion. The symptoms include fever, rash, muscle and joint pain, conjunctivitis, and headache. The Zika virus can also cause birth defects if a mother is infected during pregnancy. “Most of the symptoms of Zika

virus are very similar to those of other illnesses,” said PAFP President Rob Rodak, DO. “If you’re experiencing symptoms like a fever or rash, you should see your family physician for a proper diagnosis – and remember that in all likelihood, a mild health condition other than the Zika virus is probably responsible.” The Zika virus cases within the United States either originated abroad or were transmitted through sexual activity. No cases have been transmitted through local mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes carrying the virus could spread farther north during the warmer summer months. The Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians and its Foundation supports its members (including nearly 80 percent of Continued on page 6

Art in the Park and The Walking Dead

submitted by JEFFREY GREEN On May 21, Forks Area Art Society will hold its third annual Art in the Park, "Amp up the Art" event. This year we are excited to announce the opportunity to see a Walking Dead zombie in a special demo.

Slated to perform are the bands Big Bone Daddy and Wayne Scott Farley’s "Force for Good.” There will also be unique light show dancing by Sarah DeReemer of Whirled Dreams Burning Heart Fire and Light Theater. Art in the Park is designed to promote awareness of Forks Area Art Society and foster relation-

ship with the community. Last year, over 70 artists and vendors participated. The feedback from previous festivals has been very positive. From its inception, the group's motto has been to have fun with art. Members utilize conventional mediums such as oils, watercolors, and acrylics, as well as mediums like colored pencils, wood turning, poetry, writing, stained glass, wax art, and jewelry making.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip I told you the sun would shine. It finally did on Sunday as Mother’s Day was being celebrated, and again on Monday. There’s predictions of a bit more rain, but not for so long as it was over the past couple of weeks. . . .Anyhow, it was nice on Mother’s Day, and that’s what counted ‘cause our moms do plenty to make our lives amount to so much. Hats off to all the Moms! . . . .Work is coming along Rt. 512, sometimes at night, sometimes during the day. Anyhow, it’s a huge improvement for all the years we’ve been hitting the potholes, crevasses and other bumps. Right now, the smooth part is from just below Amore’s to Harold’s RV, then it picks up again from Schall’s Brakes & Repairs all the way through town and up north into Moore Township where it stops at Scotty’s Mobile Homes. I heard it’s gonna go all the way up into Bushkill Township, but I’m not positive about it. We’ll just hafta wait and see as the crews paint the yellow and white markings . . . . I hear the dart baseball season for the churches around here and down Bethlehem way is done and now all the players and their families are looking ahead to the annual banquet later this month at Dryland U.C.C. Church over near Newburg. . . .Little Moore Church is gonna

have a roast beef dinner, I hear. Some folks in town are still raving about how good their ham dinner was. . . .I hear I goofed last week about Joe, who plays hearts with the gang down at the Legion. His last name isn’t Abraham, it’s Ambrose. Just wanta be right when he comes home from his winter sojourn down in the Sunshine State. . . . Firefighters straightened out the farmers market banner on Walnut Street on Monday night after it took a beating from the wind over the weekend. They wanta have it looking good for the opening day next Friday, the 20th. The market will be open every Friday after that from 3:00 to 7:00 o’clock down at Keystone Park. . . .Former Eleanor Smith and the former Helen Srogi were surprised with a strawberry and whipped cream birthday cake as their classmates from 1948 had breakfast the other day at a Coplay restaurant. . . .Rodger Berg always has a puzzle for his fellow Northampton Exchangites to figure out, and Marty Fella always seems to figure out the right answer. The latest are these numbers from a telephone keypad that spell a word: 46533474. Give me your guess and I’ll check with Rodger to see if you’re right. . . .Here’s hoping those Phillies can keep up their winning ways down in Georgia as they take on the Braves. Right, Greg? . . . . Local fisherman who caught a big bluefish recently got skunked this time as he tried another spot in the ocean off the Jersey coast. . . .Work to do. Have a nice week and keep safe.

Tri-Boro Sportsmen spring and Summer events Via TRI-BORO SPORTSMEN NEWSLETTER We are excited about the lineup of events that we are providing this summer with a little something for everyone including our fishermen, shooters, and social members. Since opening day of trout on April 2, TriBoro has stocked approximately 3,400 trout, predominantly in the canal and quarry. We can't lie; we snuck a couple of buckets in the river. We continue our trout-stocking program on May 28 with 700 trout going in the Lehigh River over the length of the property. These will mainly be Brown trout so they will stick around all summer. Our restaurant, bar, banquet hall, and catering facilities are operating in full swing. We offer wing specials on Wednesday, cheesesteak specials on Thursday, clams on Fridays, dollar dogs on Saturdays, and $3 tacos on Sundays. There are drink specials each day, WednesdaySunday, and our micro taps are constantly changing. See what's new in the restaurant. Shooting ranges are scheduled for several upgrades. The rifle, pistol, and plinking ranges are in need of some upgrades and they are on their way this summer. Banks will be raised for increased safety, brush will be cleared for increased space, and safety features will be added.

New metal targets will be installed on the pistol and plinking ranges thanks to a donation from Empty Clip Targets. In order to make all of this happen, the ranges will be closed on Wednesdays beginning May 18 from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and lasting throughout the summer months. We added Fishermen's Night and Lunker Day for the fishermen with success. For our shooters, we have added Block Shoots, including one scheduled for May 22 and will be adding Metal Target Shooting events thanks in large part to Empty Clip Targets. Details are being worked out around these events and will be announced soon. We'd love to see our members out to support these events, as the proceeds will go directly back into the ranges. On May 7 was the Spring Thaw Rendezvous on the River and running through the Rock the River Fall Festival in MidOctober, the weekends are packed with events at Tri-Boro. Most of these events are private parties, but some of them are meant for the public. Our events include our Block Shoots on May 22, and August 21, as well as the Sweaty Santa 5k on July 22. The other public events are organized by other organizations and benefit varying charities. The Spring Thaw raises funds for the Valor Guard and a Ride for Diabetes

submitted by PAUL KRZYWICKI Misericordia University business administration major Christine Zopf of Northampton recently presented her research paper, “The Effects of the E-Book: A Financial Ratio Analysis,’’ at the Northeast Regional Honors Council (NRHC) Conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts. An Honors Program student at Misericordia University, the Department of Business also recognized the daughter of Philip and Lynette of Northampton by inducting her into the Misericordia University Chapter of the Sigma Beta Delta International Business Honor Society. In order to be eligible for membership in Sigma Beta Delta, candidates for bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business must rank in the top 20 percent of their class at the time of invitation and also must have completed at least half of the degree program in which they are enrolled. Zopf ’s research examined electronic book technology and how it has impacted the sales of physical books and the financial well being of brick-and-mortar bookseller, Barnes & Noble. She also

conducted a financial ratio analysis and benchmarking to compare Barnes & Noble and Amazon. com, Inc. “While Barnes & Noble experienced hardship in 2014, financial analysis reveals that the company is in a period of improvement, allowing for growth and increased consumer confidence,’’ Zopf wrote in her conclusion. “Barnes & Noble has managed to stay competitive with the web giant, Amazon.com, which also saw improvement in financial standing between 2014 and 2015.’’ NRHC, a regional affiliate of the National Collegiate Honors Council, is an organization of students, faculty and administrators who are dedicated to the encouragement and support of undergraduate honors learning. It provides members with opportunities for the exchange of information, ideas and assistance through the annual conference, newsletter and seminars.

Extensive recreation report At Moore Tp. Board meeting by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home Newss

It’s spring time and almost summer, so it was natural that recreation was a timely subject at this past Tuesday night’s Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting. Robert Bealer of the Recreation Board had a sizeable list of subjects to bring up, including: • Road signage to identify park roads and intersection crossroads that were approved were for Park Road East, Park Road West, Pavilion Road, and Lower Road. • Coyle Field needs seven trees removed, with dead trees about to fall on a fence. Public Works was approved to handle this task. • Main snack stand at the Recreation Area needs replacement of steel doors. Approval was given to getting a contractor estimate. • On April 25 most of the pine trees that needed removal were marked. • Ordinance on park rules and regulations was adopted, and brown signs with white lettering will be posted, at an estimated cost of $765. • The goal of a walkway is to have it done before Community Day, and a backhoe would be needed for the work. • Still to be discussed is using backhoes for pulling out a tree, moving a tree to the staging area, cutting off roots, either chipping or burning trees, hauling away the roots, and field work that has to be determined after trees are removed. EAC report Peter Locke of the Environmental Advisory Council reported that the recent electronic recycling event was a success. Maureen Romano and Rodney Jarinko assisted as volunteers, and 641 cars were counted as bringing in the electronics no longer needed. Of those, 541 were surveyed and 62 came from Moore Township. A Northampton County household hazard waste event will be held on May 21 at Northampton Community College from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Concerning the township’s Appalachian Park, it was noted that a mini grant was approved for $4,250; a wildlands proposal to assist in development of the stewardship plan will be scheduled; and on Tuesday morning there was a mini grant roll-out event at Saucon Community Park for recipients, with representatives of Pa. DCNR present. Other matters • The board approved a credit reduction of $61,630.80 for S & S Custom Homes that was requested. • Appointed roadmasters were all three members of the Board of Supervisors: David Tashner, Daniel Piorkowski, and Richard Gable. The Director of Public Works was re-named Road Superintendent. Tashner reported that the spring clean-up has been completed about a month ahead

of where it has been the past four years. Gravel roads are nearly done, he said. • Moore Township Night will be observed at the IronPigs baseball game on July 14. Tickets are $10 each for Sec. 104, with game time 7:05 p.m. Gates open at 5 p.m. for happy hour, with hot dogs selling for $1 and beer at $2. The $10 ticket includes a $2 food voucher. Call 610-759-9449, ext. 3 for tickets. • The April police report by Chief Gary West showed 306 total incidents; 40 warning / verbal and written notices; 26 traffic citations; three reportable and four non-reportable accidents. • The April report by Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. fire recorder Jason Harhart showed the following: 30 fire calls (two fires, two accidents, one fire police, four automatic fire alarms, onemutual aid for a brush fire in Lehigh Twsp., seven wires down, nine trees down, one CO alarm, two odor investigations, and onespill) requiring 267 man-hours. There were also 56 ambulance calls needing 224 man-hours. Another 147 man-hours were spent in firefighting training and 99 in maintenance of building and apparatus.

American Cancer Society study Links Radon Exposure to Cancer in women

submitted by AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY A new report finds a statistically-significant, positive association between high levels of residential radon and the risk of hematologic (blood) cancer in women. The study is the first prospective, population-based study of residential radon exposure and hematological cancer risk, leading

the authors to caution that it requires replication to better understand the association and whether it truly differs by sex. Radon is a naturally occurring byproduct of the decay of radium, and is a known human lung carcinogen, the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Modeling studies show that radon delivers a non-negligible dose of alpha radiation to the bone marrow and therefore could be related to risk of hematologic cancers. More than 171,000 new cases of hematologic cancer and more than 58,000 deaths are expected in the United States in 2016. Hematologic cancers are the most expensive cancers to treat per quality-adjusted life year gained. For the current study, researchers led by Lauren Teras, Ph.D. of the American Cancer Society used dated from the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study-II Nutrition Cohort established in 1992, to examine the association between countylevel residential radon exposure and risk of hematological cancer. The analysis included 140,652 participants among whom there were 3,019 hematological cancers during 19 years of followup. They found women living in counties with the highest mean radon concentration had a statistically significant 63% higher risk of hematologic cancer compared to those living in counties with the lowest radon levels. They also found evidence of a dose-response relationship. The authors say men may have a higher baseline risk, possibly because of more exposure to occupational or other risk factors for hematological cancer, reducing the impact of any additional risk from residential radon. In women, who have a smaller baseline risk, residential radon exposure might be a larger contributor to overall risk. Another reason may be that the women of this generation spent more time in their homes, so had more residential exposure than men. According to Dr. Teras, “Radon is already associated with

lung cancer, and if other studies confirm the link to blood cancers, we think it would warrant strengthened public health efforts to mitigate residential radon risks.” To view the American Cancer Society’s press release, go to www.RadonCancer.org.

What Is Heaven Like?

The reality of heaven transcends comprehension. Yet the Bible gives occasional glimpses into the celestial city, so we can form some concept of its glories. Heaven is a place of perfect beauty. Look at the beauties God has placed in this world--delicate flowers, rose-tinted clouds, multicolored rainbows, billowing waterfalls, burning suns setting over glimmering seas. Then try to multiply them a million times, and you may get an inkling of the beauties of heaven. Jewels as clear as crystal, pearls of faultless texture, a street of transparent gold--these are earthly symbols God's Word uses to describe the New Jerusalem. Trees grow beside a river of life. Angels shed radiance. There stands the awesome throne of God transcendent with a light that makes the sun and moon superfluous. And there is the breath-taking beauty of Christ. Heaven is a place of perfect joy. No sickness, no sorrow, no pain are there. God wipes away all tears. No doctors' offices, no dentists' chairs, no ambulances or hospitals or asylums. Heaven is a place of everlasting life. Nobody grows old. Nothing decays. There are no undertakers, no funerals, no cemeteries. Heaven is a place of perfect righteousness. No sin can enter there. No liars or thieves or drunkards are there. No jealousy or hatred, no gossip or pettiness will pollute the atmosphere. Peace will prevail. Heaven is filled with the presence of God. In heaven the praises to our Redeemer will ascend forever. There multitudes of angels and the redeemed in one choir will lift hallelujahs. There the morning stars sing together and the sons of God shout for joy. Those whose names are written in the Book of Life shall see Jesus face to face. —Allen Bowman, Adapted The only way to get your name into that “book of life” (Revelation 3:5) is to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior (see www.naog.ws/theway.htm).

Northampton Farmers market opening May 24; Granted $16,000 from borough by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

With the Northampton Farmers Market opening on Tuesday, May 24, Victor Rodite told members of Northampton Borough Council on Thursday that they are short in funds by about $16,000. With money available from casino grants, Council approved the $16,000, but Councilman Ed Pany asked Councilman Tony Pristash and Asst. Boro Manager LeRoy Brobst to figure out how the money will be spent. Rodite had figured on fencing, a clock and landscaping at the market location on Main Street. Two of the farmers who will have products to sell at the market were at Thursday’s meeting. The market will be open from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday this summer. Rodite also spoke about renting solar panels to provide electricity for the parking lot streetlights. Councilman Robert McHale, however, said the wastewater treatment plant would be a better use for the solar panels as they need more power there. Railroad sation Larry Oberly of the Northampton Area Historical Society voiced appreciation to Council for extending the lease on the Siegfried railroad station, which is their headquarters along W. 21st Street. A grant was received from the Northampton County hotel tax fund so the society could do more renovations of the historic station. It will be open the first and third Monday and Council was invited by Irene Urban to the society’s open house on Sunday, May 15 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Other matters • Dan Donnelly, on behalf of Windward Pass Holdings plan for the Tama building conversion to apartments, had asked for an extension of time to May 2, 2017 to arrange all of their financing. While there was some hesitancy on Council’s part, Pany said the extension should be granted in order to keep them on the tax rolls. “We’ve been losing too many buildings,” he said. “Give them another year, but we want to see the project completed.” • This year’s Community Development Block Grant program is basically the installation of handicapped paving in the Second Ward, in which Northampton County has granted $160,000 for the project. Only one bid was accepted, that from A. J. Trunzo, Inc. of Bath for $224,936. Council closed the bid, but it will be reviewed by the county and the borough’s solicitor before being officially awarded. Council was told that ramps are low on the totem pole with all the paperwork and work at the intersections, when it doesn’t include some road work as well. While McHale was hoping for a “bigger bang for the buck,” Pany said the borough has the $160,000 now and doesn’t want to lose it. • Permission was given to residents of Frank Drive between 27th St. and Jeffrey Lane to have a block party on June 4 from noon to 10 p.m. The residents will set up and remove barricades. • The Northampton Girls Varsity and Junior Varsity Lacrosse Booster Club was given permission to use a pavilion at the 26th St. playground on Sunday, May 15 for a year-end celebration picnic. • The Atlas Cement Co. Memorial Museum is now open to the public on the second and fourth Sundays of the month through September. This month, tours are being given for fourth grade children in the Northampton Area School District. • Brobst attended a meeting last month at the school administration building, when information was shared between the school district and community. He learned that Bath Borough has suspended crossing guard service, so students are bussed

May 12-18, 2016 13

to George Wolf Elementary; and that secondary construction on the new middle school will be finished in August, including the bus loading/unloading area and the new multi-purpose field. Councilman Anthony Lopsonszki, Sr. commended the sharing of information. • The borough’s swimming pool will open June 4, the first week daily at 1 p.m., and after that at noon. The season ends August 13. • In other land and recreation reports, Pristash noted that the recreation center director is planning a summer golf tournament at Whitetail Golf Club in Bath; the message board or kiosk has been installed at the uptown park; and work is progressing at the Sister City monument on Laubach Ave.

Give blood with The Red Cross During trauma Awareness Month

submitted by BETH TOLL During Trauma Awareness Month in May, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood and help ensure a sufficient supply for patient emergencies. Dennis Weidner knows how critical blood products are in trauma situations. In 1996, part of his left leg was amputated following a farming accident. “Through the surgeries, I received 13 units of blood,” he said. Weidner now gives blood as often as he can. Donors of all blood types are needed this May. Every day, the Red Cross must collect approxi-

mately 14,000 blood donations to meet the needs of trauma patients and others with serious medical conditions. Schedule your appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). Donors can then also visit redcrossblood.org/cedarfair to enter to win one of two grand prize packages for four to Knott’s Berry Farm in California or Cedar Point in Ohio. Upcoming blood donation opportunities Bethlehem 5/25: 1 p.m. - 6 p.m., Governor Wolf Elementary School, 1920 Butztown Road. Easton 5/27: 2 p.m. - 7 p.m., Charles Chrin Community Center, 4100 Green Pond Road. How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.

National Dog Bite Prevention Week®

www.avma.org

70million nice dogs…but any dog can bite. National Dog Bite Prevention Week® takes place during the third full week of May each year, and focuses on educating people about preventing dog bites. The dates in 2016 are May 15-21. With an estimated population of 70 million dogs living in U.S.

households, millions of people – most of them children – are bitten by dogs every year. The majority of these bites, if not all, are preventable. Prevent The Bite reports that according to the Center for Disease Control, dog bites were the 11th leading cause of nonfatal injury to children ages one to four, 9th for ages 5 to 9 and 10th for ages 10-

14 from 2003-2012. The Insurance Information Institute estimates that in 2013, insurers across the country paid over $483 million in dog bite claims. The American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery reports that according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 26,935 reconstructive procedures were performed in 2013 to repair injuries caused by dog bites. The U.S. Postal Service reports that 5,581 postal employees were attacked by dogs in 2013. Children, elderly, and postal carriers are the most frequent victims of dog bites. The American Humane Association reports that 66% of bites among children occur to the head and neck. Take this opportunity to learn more about dog bite prevention and help educate others so we can all work together to prevent dog bites.
