Embassy Bank of the Lehigh Valley celebrates Grand opening of their Nazareth Branch

submitted by RENEE KEIDERLING Embassy Bank of the Lehigh Valley celebrated the grand opening of their Nazareth Branch on April 27. The evening began with an intimate ceremony guided

by Moravian Historical Society’s

Director and Nazareth Business Council President, Megan van Ravenswaay.

Ravenswaay shared, “It was an honor to be a part of this important night for David Lobach and his team. Dave is Nazareth born and raised and has long looked

forward to bringing a branch to downtown Nazareth. The location, next to our beautiful historic circle, is a place of prominence in the Borough. It was a pleasure for the Nazareth Business coun-

Allen Township’s engineer Brien Kocher reviewed proposed road projects in the township for 2016 at Thursday night’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors.

They include Church, Farmhill, Buckingham, McNair, White Circle, and Snow Hill bridge dredging. He said storm water inlets and pipes may need adjusting, according to grade,

especially Church Rd., and application of stone and oil chipping will be used in most of the cases.

Kocher was authorized to do the survey work.

On the intersection of Indian Trail Road/Apple Road, there was a meeting with PennDOT on Thursday, but no decision was made and the PennDOT representative will be getting back to the township after meeting again with the road foreman.

Parking encroachment was reported with a bicycle lane at Willowbrook and W. Bullshead Roads. Supervisor Dale Hassler said it’s the property of the Catasauqua School District, and signs have been posted. Township Manager Ilene Eckhart and solicitor Lincoln Treadwell will meet with the Catasauqua Schools Superintendent regarding the problem.

The supervisors approved an ordinance on an inter-municipal sewer agreement with Catasauqua Borough and Hanover Township Lehigh County for the sewage transfer of 25,000 gallons a day from the FedEx warehouse distribution center to the municipal plants at their cost. In another item, Hassler said

he spoke to a State Police corporal regarding the alleged speeding of motorists on Walker Drive that had been reported last month.

Reports Emergency Management Coordinator Gary Krill reported attending classes on hazardous materials awareness, effective communication, and developing and managing volunteers. In April he also attended the Township Emergency Management Association forum and the Pa. State Association of Township Supervisors conference in Hershey. At the latter there were workshops on Fire and EMS Services, Land Use and Zoning Laws, Creating a Walkable and Bike Friendly Community,

Responding to Violent Intruders, and a 5-in-1 Toolkit for Township Parks. Fire Chief Nick Lalik gave this report for April from the Allen Township Fire Co. #1: 67.5 alarm hours; 86 training hours; 23 alarms (one ambulance assist, two auto accidents, two accidents with rescue, one automatic fire alarm, three brush fires, one CO detector alarm, two smoke detectors activated, one structure fire, one traffic control, one tree on wires, three unreported control burns, one water rescue assist, and two wires down).

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

Ketosis

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

If I told you that consuming a diet rich in “good fats” while reducing refined carbohydrates would improve your overall health, would you think I have lost my mind? In a world that “runs on Dunkin,” how can we make sense that we should actually run away from most of what we are told is healthy? If you think that improving your health means switching from soda to diet soda then we need to have a talk.

It is no surprise that the vast majority take in way too many carbohydrates/sugar. This single act repeated day in and day out for year after year and decade after decade is single handedly the reason for our health crisis today.

A bold statement? I don’t think so. Ever try to go through a day and avoid sugar? It’s not easy. Almost impossible.

We know that our body needs to use sugar as a fuel, but what many people don’t realize is that fats can be an equally incredible fuel source to the body. The process of ketosis refers to the body’s ability to use fats as its primary source of energy, over glucose.

For the sake of brevity, when the body burns fat, it produces three bi-products of fat breakdown, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), acetoacetate (ACA) and acetone. These bi-products are called ketones. This is a naturally occurring process and it’s what allows our bodies to survive during

times of food restriction.

When an individual begins to follow a low carbohydrate diet, the body has to look for another fuel source, and it turns to fatty acids and fat stores to provide that much-needed energy. The liver breaks down the fat and releases ketones into the blood to be used by the brain and other organs to produce energy. Any excess ketones are eliminated through the urine or the breath. This is referred to as nutritional ketosis.

To the point, achieving a state of dietary ketosis can help you drop unwanted fat and overall weight.

In addition, ketones have been found to improve insulin sensitivity, lower and normalize blood sugar levels, contribute to an increased state of satiety and decrease food cravings. It is all very interesting to say the least.

Switching from using glucose

as fuel to ketosis has much more benefits than just weight loss. You will see over the next few years significantly more emerging research as to the numerous benefits ketosis offers. Here are just a few: •Migraine treatment •Neuro-protective benefits in seizure disorders, ADHD, Alzheimer’s, memory and cognitive function, Parkinson’s disease, and Multiple Sclerosis •Autism and improved behavior •Mood stabilization in bipolar disorder (type II) •Stroke prevention, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome management, improved cholesterol levels The ketogenic diet is not new.

Diets like South Beach Diet and Atkins have been around for decades and thought about incorrectly. The problem with the ketogenic diet is that many people find it quite restrictive and difficult to follow and frankly, many do it incorrectly. In addition, achieving the state of ketosis through diet can take days or in my case, usually weeks to achieve.

What if I told you that you can now be in a state of ketosis in less than an hour by supplementing

with exogenous ketones? Does that interest you? It should.

I have found tremendous benefit from adding ketones to my supplementation while following my usual clean diet. The results have been pretty amazing in so many areas: body fat reduction, increased mental clarity, calmness, energy

and much more.

This idea of exogenous ketone supplementation is so new that I ask you to keep on the lookout for more Natural Perspectives™ articles on this topic. This could be a game changer.

It’s Show time

I didn’t have to look for ideas for this week’s article. I was in a hotel lobby early in the morning, and I heard an argument between the chef and general manager.

The manager told her to stop having an attitude and she shot back with a cocky remark. The person at the front desk was clearly embarrassed and tried to start small talk with me so I wouldn’t hear what was transpiring.

Soon, the doors to the back are slammed open and all of the employees rush outside yelling at each other. The general manager brings them all back inside and announces that “It’s show time!” as guests start to flood the room with breakfast items. All of them are greeted graciously and the breakfast was lovely.

What’s an employer to do?

1. Take an upset employee to a back room so no one can hear him or her rant.

2. Nip it in the bud, with tenminutes until “show time,” you can discuss it afterwards.

3. There has to be consequences; apologize, or a day off without pay.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Here we are, more than halfway through the month of May. The year is sure going fast, but I reckon that’s the way it is when you’re no longer a spring chicken.

Taking a look at the calendar, I see there’s a couple days we want to salute our troops, those who have served and those who are serving now. This Saturday, the 21st, is Armed Forces Day and two weeks from now is Memorial Day, the 30th, when we remember those who have given their lives on the battlefield for their country. Let’s observe both days, and honor our men and women in the armed forces, now and in the past. . . . And as we approach the month of June, there’s graduation from high schools. The colleges are already having graduation ceremonies, so there will be thousands of students venturing out into real life and looking for jobs. I wish them all tremendous success. . . . A happy 76th birthday to Robert Wiedner of N. Walnut St. in town, who will be celebrating it on May 27 at Tow-

er eight in Gracedale, where he’s getting some treatment. I’m sure he’d like to receive some birthday cards to cheer him up. . . . The Phillies will be tested this week when they play the Miami Marlins. So far so good. If the pitching can hold up, maybe the hitting will come around. It’s gonna have to sooner or later. . . . Ye Ed tells me Kathy Unger from over along Clearfield Road in Nazareth has resumed her columns in the paper from remembrances of the past. They take us back to some of the people and happenings we had in the good old days, things that we old timers have stored in our memory banks, whether it’s Bath or Nazareth or Northampton, or wherever we live. Gotta read about ‘em! . . . .The Farmer John signs are up and the vendors are ready for the opening of the Bath farmers market this Friday down at Keystone Park at Green and Race Streets.

The grass is mowed and the park is looking mighty fine. . . .Marvin Werkheiser, Billy Falstich and their Lions buddies will be serving up pancakes this Saturday morning, I hear, down at the Applebee’s along Rt. 248 between Nazareth and Easton. The restaurant staff will be making the batter and handling the grill, and

the Lions will be serving, just like they used to when they had pancake and sausage breakfasts down at the fire house. . . . Hats off to the Nazareth High School marching band for their trip down to Disney World in Orlando. . . .

The Bath Legion Lanes looked great for all the state bowlers when they came to town for their tournament recently. Marty Beal was real happy to welcome ‘em to their renovated facilities. Great job, guys! . . . . Yard work to do right now. It’s kinda cool, but the sun is shining anyhow. Have a great week everybody!

May 15, Pentecost Sunday, was the perfect day for their Confirmation Ceremony. The students wore long white robes and red carnations. The choir led by Lisa Abrussese sang, "In Remembrance" and Pastor Donald Brown officiated the service.

All of the Confirmands took part

in the service and recited the Apostle's Creed. Laying on of hands was a very moving part of the service. This is when family and friends were invited to come forward and place their hands on their loved one while Pastor Don said a prayer. Consistory President, Ed Taylor and the congregation welcomed the Confirmands and offered them continued friendship, prayers, and love.

The Confirmands joined the congregation and partook in their first Holy Communion in eating the bread and drinking the wine, which reminds us of the sacrifice that Christ made for us.

After the completion of the service a reception was held in the Social Hall of the church.

mer is smiling down on us today knowing Dave continues to carry on the great legacy which began at Embassy's outset.”

One of a Series The Medicine Man

I remember when the medicine man, as we called him, came to town with his old wagon. He would set up his traveling shop on a vacant lot at the edge of town and stay for two or three days, peddling his wares. He would display Indian Blankets over the sides of his wagon and would sell something in a bottle, which he would tell the crowd could “cure anything that ails you.” He would sell the cure-all for $1.00 per bottle and the people bought the stuff, believing that it would indeed “cure anything that ails you.”

After he finished his “sales pitch”, he’d shout to his runners, “Alright, boys, bring ‘em in,” meaning the dollars for the bottles of medicine. Sometimes he would bend a thick piece of steel with his bare hands, remarking that he had been taking this medicine for many years and the proof of its potential was how strong he had become that he could even bend steel with his bare hands.

Home Improvement (NAPSI)—Many homeowners may be pleased and surprised to learn that some of the products that are friendliest to the environment come from the environment—and are available for their own houses.

Redwood is an excellent example, offering more environmental benefits than anything man-made—from how it’s grown and harvested to how it can be reused and repurposed. Here, for instance, are four environmental benefits of redwood decking.

1. Redwood is grown green. This species thrives along a narrow strip of land that hugs the Pacific coast in Northern California. The vast majority of old-growth coastal redwoods are forever protected within 450,000 acres of

Going Green With Redwood Decking national, state and local forests and parks.

The land designated for commercial growth is subjected to the world’s most stringent management and harvest practices. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) requires private forestland owners to have harvest plans and management operations regularly audited. The FSC also sets standards relating to licensing and training forest managers as well as broad standards for forest resource conservation.

One hundred percent of California Redwood Association member forestlands are certified well managed by the FSC.

2. Redwood traps carbon and never lets go. Redwood trees continuously scrub carbon from the air, retaining carbon in their wood fiber. Even better: That carbon remains trapped even after a redwood tree is harvested and milled for lumber. The average-size deck built of redwood is holding on to half a ton of carbon. A recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) documented that alternative plastic-based decking contributes to global warming, while redwood actually combats this climate change.

3. Redwood is naturally durable. Without any help from manufacturers, redwood’s natural features reinforce the fact that this lumber is built to last. With a tight wood grain, a length of redwood lumber will hold its

shape more consistently and is less prone to warping or cupping. Redwood is also naturally resistant to termites, decay and even fire.

4. A redwood deck could outlast your mortgage. The same natural features that give redwood its durability also mean redwood decks will hold a protective finish longer and withstand multiple refinishings over the years. With periodic cleaning and refinishing, a redwood deck can last 30 years or longer. Even when redwood is no longer useful as decking, homeowners can still recycle the decking to use in other landscaping projects or even shred it down to use as mulch.

Redwood is a smart choice for homeowners who want to live a more sustainable lifestyle. It is also a remarkable value, generally less costly to your wallet and the environment than plastic-based alternatives. With careful forest management, natural features that no manufacturer has been able to replicate, and incredible beauty, strength and durability, redwood proves you can improve your home but you can’t improve on Mother Nature.

seniors.

Moving into May brought music and dancing, fun was had by all as Jim strummed his guitar and kept us hopping to tunes from the 50s and 60s.

Senior Games are coming up fast on June 3, training week will be the full week before. We will be sporting our new t-shirts by Studio G, orange and black, of course. "Go Team Northampton!"

It Was Not Too Late!

Years ago a unique character was converted in the Water Street Mission in New York. It was "The Old Colonel." Through drink he had sunk very low. At the time of his conversion he was sixty years old. He looked as if he were one hundred. He looked more like an animal than a human being. He was clothed in rags. The overcoat he wore was fastened with a nail. "Old Bill" was a caricature of the man he had been—a college graduate and a brilliant law student in the office of E. M. Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary of War. On the night of his conversion, he cried, "O Lord, if it is not too late, forgive and save this poor old sinner!" God heard the earnest cry of his heart. He was gloriously saved! God restored his intellect. That which had been his greatest love and had almost ruined his life—strong drink—became his greatest hate! He became an honored and beloved Christian gentleman!

Friend, it is not too late for God to forgive and save you from your sin if you will humbly pray and ask Him to forgive you as "Old Bill" did! Jesus promised, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

God loves you and has done all He can to save you through giving His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty for your sins on the cross.

It is not too late TODAY to be saved—BUT it may be too late tomorrow! The Bible says, "Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2). Jesus stands at the door of your heart right now knocking and saying, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). Will you ask Jesus to come into your heart right NOW?

Flyers returning to Lehigh Valley in 2016-17 preseason

by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock) The Lehigh Valley Phantoms’ home venue, the PPL Center, added another premium event to the calendar for the 201617 season Monday when the Philadelphia Flyers announced they will play a preseason game on Wednesday, September 28 against the New Jersey Devils in the Lehigh Valley.

The news of the return of ‘Flyers in the Valley’ comes exactly five weeks after the American Hockey League (AHL) announced that Lehigh Valley will be hosting the 2017 AHL AllStar Classic January 28-30.

“This game is a true celebration of the Flyers/Phantoms affiliation and the organization’s collective commitment to growing the sport of hockey in the Lehigh Valley,” said Phantoms co-owner/governor Rob Brooks in the team’s news release.

“It was a thrill to watch worldclass players like Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek on PPL Cen-

ter ice and we look forward to another exciting night of NHL hockey in the Valley,” added Phantoms co-owner/governor Jim Brooks.

Last fall, 7,464 fans saw the first ever NHL preseason game in the Lehigh Valley as the Flyers defeated the New York Islanders 5-3. This year, fans will again have a chance to watch NHL hockey in downtown Allentown.

Those who participated in last year’s game had nothing but praise for the amenities at the Phantoms’ home rink, including Flyers star forward Jakub Voracek.

“It’s an NHL rink,” Voracek said after the Flyers’ preseason win at PPL Center last September. “When you look at the locker room, the weight room, the medical room and everything it’s a great setup for players in the AHL. I think they can be pretty happy that they can play here.

It’s been a great experience.”

If the upcoming schedule wasn’t enticing enough for hock-

ey fans in the Lehigh Valley for the 2016-17 season with the AHL’s premier event coming to town in late January, the second ever NHL game at PPL Center this fall further proves the commitment level between the NHL and AHL affiliates in the organization.

“We are very excited to have the Flyers playing again in Allentown,” Flyers President Paul Holmgren said in the team’s press release. “We are absolutely thrilled with our affiliation and look forward to bigger and better things in the future. Our fans in the Lehigh Valley are great, and this game will give them an opportunity to see not only current Flyers but future Flyers as well.”
