Moore Twsp. resident wills 175K to Rangers, recreation by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
submitted by JOSEPHINE BUSCEMI Gabriella King, a 7th grade student at Wind Gap Middle School, has taken the first step to becoming an internationally recognized artist by winning a local competition sponsored by the Plainfield Township Lions Club.

A check for $175,000 was received at this past Thursday night’s meeting of the Moore Township Board of Supervisors. It was a bequest of $175,000 from the late John Topfer, who died in 2014. In a letter from Atty. Daniel Spengler it was noted that the money should be divided between the Klecknersville Volunteer Fire Co. and the Moore Township Recreation Commission. In the letter, Spengler said, “John was an avid clipper of news articles about his family and the township and likely would be proud if future generations could remember him for this gift.” Township Secretary-Treasurer Richard Gable said he met with both parties asking them to come up with some things to purchase with the money. Other Matters • Following a report by the township engineer, a letter of credit for Estates at Mink Hollow was reduced from $415, 787 to $384,281. • A resident of Skunk Rd. asked the supervisors to make a sign at his property because of possible confusion for emergency responders should there be a problem. Paul Connolly asked that a street sign be placed to note his address since the addresses along that road are out of sequence. • David Shaffer of Copella Rd. expressed an interest in joining the Land Preservation Board, and

Leadership Lessons from Our veterans
Did you know that veterans are 45% more likely to be selfemployed than those that have never served in the military? It may make you ask the question, why? My guess is that it comes down to leadership: leadership, training and the incredible ability to get things done. Our country’s veterans were honored this past weekend at Northeast middle school. The Allentown Band, founded in 1828, performed a tribute to veterans - a show packed with patriotism that also included the Middle School Chorus. Vets were invited to stand and be recognized. As I looked around the room and witnessed all of the pride and humility, I thought about what we could learn from these leaders. 1. Leadership – putting others before self (especially their country) and being intuitive problem solvers. 2. Decision Makers – not only can they make decisions, they often have to make them swiftly and with limited information. 3. Team Builders – there is no military without a team. They know how to work on a team, lead a team and support the team. 4. Commitment – the military expects commitment from their troops, commitment to country, colleague and the team. 5. Planning – as Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “Plans useless, but planning is indispensible.” Having the ability to make a plan and the insight to change course when necessary definitely sounds like leadership. All five lessons can be easily applied to the business world. So many times people get into leadership positions without the needed skills that impact results. These five lessons are not only necessary; they are a total must when leading a business venture or project. If you want to Grow Ur Biz, veterans may have the answer. By they way, make sure to say thanks next time you meet a vet. Carol S. Ritter, past President of the National Speakers Asso-
ciation in Philadelphia, is an accomplished professional speaker, coach and educational consultant specializing in innovative leadership, outrageous fundraising, million-dollar marketing and building organizational alliances throughout the country.

Judith’s Reading Room celebrates Veterans Day submitted by CATHY LEIBER Judith’s Reading Room celebrated its 65th month of boxing books for active duty troops and veterans at its final Boxing Party on Monday. Thirty-four community volunteers ranging in age from 3 to 70 gathered at the organization’s southside Bethlehem headquarters. Packing 965 mostly new novels worth $10,608, the volunteers smashed previous shipment totals. The organization serves VA hospitals and shelters in Pennsylvania at the PA Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home and Butler Healthcare, the VA Hospital in E. Orange New Jersey, and Steadfast House in NC, a shelter for women veterans and their children. Over the past five years, Judith’s Reading Room, a nonprofit literacy organization, has shipped a total of 126,442 books worth $1,371,791. Nearly 50% of all shipments have been to military bases, hospitals, shelters and aircraft carriers here and around the world. The organization has established 93 libraries in 16 countries serving tens of thousands of children and adults who crave the opportunity to read for fun. Judith’s Reading Room has shifted its focus to searching the world for individual champions of literacy from all disciplines
— teachers, librarians, authors, researchers, and educators — anyone who has done exemplary work to instill in others a love of reading. The Freedom Through Literacy Award application may be accessed at the organization’s website at www.judithsreadingroom.org. The $10,000 Award carries a top prize of $5,000 and up to five $1,000 runner-up prizes.

Pennsylvania’s Heating assistance Program is now Open submitted by MATT MOYER Pennsylvania’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) grant program is now accepting applications, according to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Pat Browne. LIHEAP, which opened on November 2 and runs until April 1, 2016, provides grants of up to $1,000 to help low-income families pay heating bills during the winter months. LIHEAP also offers crisis grants of up to $500
November 12-18, 2015 5
for families who experience heating emergencies, such as a broken furnace, fuel shortage or utility termination. “As we head into the colder months of the year, it is vitally important that our residents who do not have the resources to pay for heat can get access to it,” Senator Browne said. “The LIHEAP program helps those low-income families receive that necessary heat and I urge everyone who qualifies for the program to apply.” The program is available to individuals and families earning less than 150 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $17,655 for a single individual or $36,375 for a family of four. Grant amounts are based on income, family size, type of heating fuel and the region where the person or family lives. To apply for the program, people will need the names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and proof of income for all
members of the household seeking assistance, along with a recent heating bill. Applications for LIHEAP grants are available online at the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Access to Social Services (COMPASS) website, www.compass. state.pa.us. More information on the program is also available by calling the LIHEAP hotline at 1-866-857-7095 or by visiting their local county assistance office. Lehigh County’s Assistance Office is located at 101 South 7th Street in Allentown and the phone number is 610-821-6509. Individuals may also pick up an application – in English or Spanish – or get more information at Senator Browne’s Main District Office at 702 Hamilton Street in Allentown or by calling any of Senator Browne’s offices: Allentown Office (610-821-8468); Western Lehigh County Office (610-366-2327); or, North Whitehall Township Office (610769-5566).

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The fall leaves with all their color are just about all down now, so it’s pick-up time for some towns and townships, and clean-up time for everybody who has trees. But that’s fall, the only part that isn’t so great. It’s been pretty quiet around the old berg of late, and that’s all right by me. . . .Eagles fans are happy that their favorite team came out on top of those rival Dallas Cowboys. It was an exciting game, with back and forth scoring on both sides, until the Eagles finally won in overtime. I was pretty much glued to the TV on Saturday and Sunday with all the college and pro football games. . . . Wednesday is Veterans Day, and like I said last week, let’s remember and thank all the veterans who served their country and preserved the freedoms that we have. Pray for the families who lost loved ones in those battles, too, because their loss will always be remembered. . . . The advertisement that Bensing’s had in the paper last week showed how
many veterans around here who have passed away in just the past year alone, all who had served in the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force in the past. . . .Still lots of political signs along the roads after the election last week. Congrats and best wishes to the winners. . . . The first article about the Christmas House Tour around these parts was in last week’s paper, so that’s one more sign that Christmas is coming on fast. The big department stores have all their stuff out already, too. I’m just taking it slow, and enjoying the fall and the Thanksgiving holiday just ahead. . . .I’ve heard different reports about the winter that’s coming. Let’s hope that it’s better than the last two we had. I like living here where we have the four seasons, but winter’s sure not my favorite. The young’uns like it so they can go skiing and snowmobiling and all those winter sports, but when you get to be an old geezer like me, fair to middling weather is the best. Some folks head down South, which is fine for a couple months, but I don’t think I’d like it down there all year long. . . .Whatever, have a great week, and take care of yourself, gang!

The Martian by Andy Weir The Martian by Andy Weir is a truly compelling sci-fi novel that utilizes actual science for a believable, edge of your seat adventure that stands apart from all the others. However, that originally wasn’t the plan. Weir started by publishing bits and pieces of The Martian on his blog, where it quickly became a success. At the request of his ever-growing fan base, he made his novel accessible on Amazon Kindle to purchase for $0.99. Within three months, The Martian had sold 35,000 copies. Shortly after, the novel was picked up to publish in print and is now a major motion picture starring a slew of A-list actors. When a powerful, unexpected storm hits the Ares 3 crew on Mars, they are forced to abort their mission and leave immediately. Astronaut Mark Watney is struck with debris and ends up getting lost in the storm. The

crew quickly makes a difficult decision and leaves him behind, as they are certain from his vitals he is dead from the impact. As it turns out…Watney is very much alive and left behind on Mars. With no way of communicating with his crew or NASA, and left with supplies and equipment that were only supposed to last 30 days…Watney is in trouble. Shortly after, NASA learns that Watney is still alive and they manage to communicate back and forth in a painstakingly slow fashion. Without giving anything important away, The Martian becomes a fight for one astronaut’s life, beating the odds, racing the clock and using outstanding ingenuity to survive on a barren planet. The Martian is written in the form of logs, basically diary entries, and occasionally a narration of what is taking place at NASA and the remaining members of Watney’s crew. Because of the honest writing style it becomes very easy to feel more connected to Watney and generally like and root for his character. It’s so important, in this book especially, that the main character is likeable, as you are spending majority of your reading time with him. Mark Watney’s sense of humor and spirit really carries his character and the entire book. He copes with his dire situation rather well and still finds a way to actually entertain. The great thing about The Martian is it’s so believe, between the diary entries and all the science and space jargon. At the same time, however, a negative was also…all the science and space jargon. It’s an immense amount of detailed chemistry in this book and it becomes hard to follow at times. Thankfully, as the reader, you don’t need to know exactly what Mark is talking about because eventually he spells it out for you and his smart-alecky demeanor jumps off the pages enough, you don’t feel like you’re reading a chemistry textbook. Mark is so real you’ll want to grab a beer with him and
www.HomeNewsPA.com
you’ll surprise yourself when you forget that The Martian is fiction. With every setback you internally groan and feel his anguish, and with every accomplishment you feel his elation at staying alive another day. This is one of those books where seeing the movie play out might be more entertaining than the book (gasp). It would have been nice to watch all these in-depth things that Mark is doing as opposed to reading his science-y description telling us what he’s doing. It’s astounding how the will to live makes up such a huge part of the survival process, also how every single thing truly adds up in staying alive. Every calorie, every kilogram, every hour, every potato, every centimeter of fabric; it all adds up in extending the days of survival. It was also very inspiring to see how mankind came together in an effort to get Mark home. “Every human being has a basic instinct: to help each other out. If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception.”

areth COG recently discussed a regional comprehensive plan for all its member municipalities. • Backenstoe asked if the board, which had passed a resolution against the PennEast natural gas pipeline, asked if they wanted to go to Washington, D.C. to testify as an intervener before the Federal Energy Commission. There was no further comment. • Chairman David Tashner noted that a half-mile of roads was added to the liquid fuels list for the state.

was selected by Lion Josephine Buscemi, Leo club advisor, for its originality, artistic merit and portrayal of the contest theme, “Share Peace.” The judging was held on October 22 at Wind Gap Middle School. Plainfield Township Lions Club President Noreen Over-
peck said she was impressed by the expression and creativity of the students at Wind Gap Middle School. “It is obvious that these young people have strong ideas about what peace means to them. I’m so proud that we were able to provide them with the opportunity to share their
visions.” “King’s poster will advance to face stiff competition through the district, multiple district and international’s rounds of competition if she is to be declared the international grand prize winner,” Overpeck said. One grand prize winner and

mentation with this inexpensive over-the-counter supplement may assist in mood enhancement. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? In addition, since we have such an epidemic of thyroid problems it would be wise to know how much selenium your body has, as selenium is needed for proper production of thyroid hormones. On the other hand, having too much copper or iron can negatively affect your health. Some feel that a high aluminum, combined with excess iron and copper can lead to Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Dr. Neal Barnard MD, from George Washington University School of Medicine stated, “These metals are like free radicals which are like little sparks that damage brain cells.” Wouldn’t you like to know what your status is NOW, so you and your loved ones do not suffer later? Simply put, hair analysis yields much information. I have often wondered why a yearly physical wouldn’t include hair analysis. It seems absurd not to know the foundational factors within your body. In fact, routine blood work, hair analysis, saliva test, urinalysis, and stool sample would be what I consider to be a well thought out plan to assess, analyze and then maintain overall health.

NAZARETH AREA Naz. Junior firefighter honored during business meeting by DAVE SICA At the Nazareth Council business meeting on Nov. 2, a resolution was passed to honor junior volunteer fireman, Tyler Keafer. Keafer awoke to discover a fire in his building. He evacuated the premises and aided in containing the fire and helped save the lives of others living in the building. The 17-year-old awoke around 3 a.m. on Oct. 20 when a fire broke out in his attic apartment at 420 E. Penn Street in the borough. Nazareth Mayor Carl Stryre Jr. read a proclamation saying, “Tyler was instrumental in preventing a possible disaster and loss of life.” The cause of the fire was later determined to be electrical. Other business during the meeting included Councilman Carl Fischl who had three motions from the law committee. The motion to hire Matthew Pavlik as a part-time Nazareth police officer passed unanimously, as well as the approval for a new Nazareth Borough Police Policy and Procedure Manual. (A motion by the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce for use of areas downtown on Saturday August 6, 2016 for the annual Martin on Main event was approved. ) Councilman Larry Stoudt brought six motions to the meeting from the finance committee. The motions included the Proposed 2016 Borough Operating Budget which “does not contain a tax increase,” a motion to ad-
vertise that the proposed 2016 budget will be available for inspection at the Municipal Offices on 134 S. Main Street during business hours for ten days from November 14 through November 25. The remaining motions were related to payments for work completed, or to be completed, on projects such as the work on G.W. Stoudt Boulevard and the new borough parking lot. All motions were passed unanimously. Mayor Styre announced during the old business segment of the meeting that there was going to be a hold on the police study report. The report will be released in December, as according to Styre it is “not completed at this time.” Councilman Frank Maurek inquired as to the amount of warnings being issued per the police report. Maurek feels that they should stop the “warning stuff” and “clamp down on the law.” Police Chief Thomas Trachta responded that it is up to the individual officer’s discretion to issue a warrant or a citation.

ANDY’S CORNER by ANDY WEAVER The 2015 Fall Blue Eagles Sports Season is almost finished. The Nazareth Girls Soccer Team went to J. Birney Crum Stadium on November 3 to face Whitehall in the District Semifinal, but fell 2-1 to see their season come to a close. The Nazareth Girls Volleyball Team spent the week over in Whitehall. On November 3 they faced Liberty in the Semifinal and came out of that match with a 2-1 win. They then moved to the District Championship on Thursday, November 5, which was also held at Whitehall. They took on the Parkland Trojans and unfortunately the Lady Eagles saw their season come to a close with a 3-0 loss to Parkland. The Nazareth Football Team traveled to Cottingham Stadium at Easton on November 6 and will start the Playoffs on November 13 where at this time of writing, no information was given yet.

the Moravian Church. In 1758 he lived briefly in Nazareth, and he painted a set of six large paintings of the life of Christ for the new worship room in the Manor House. Those paintings, now at the Whitefield House, are among the earliest Biblical works painted in Colonial America. • Shortly after the end of World War II, the community of Nazareth decided that a fitting memorial to the veterans would be a public library. The “Memorial Library” is thus a living memorial to those Nazareth residents who have served in any war. • Before the Heritage House (corner of S. Main and Belvidere) was enlarged to become the Baronial Hotel around 1900, it was a private residence which looked very much like the former “Dr. Snyder’s House” at Broad and E. Center Streets. The Italianate home was owned by Solomon Hummel, who also owned the Nazareth Inn across the street.

Contentment Fosters Thankfulness
A gentleman wished to sell a rather large estate that he owned. He had an agent write an advertisement telling about the estate. The agent took it to the owner and read it to him. “Read that again,” said the owner. The agent read the description of the estate once more. “I don’t think I will sell after all,” said the gentleman. “I have been looking for an estate like that all of my life, and did not know that I owned it!” In 2 Timothy 3:2, the Bible reveals “that in the last days…men shall be…covetous.” The “covetous” are not content with what they have— they constantly want more. Obviously, discontentment is a huge problem today—creating financial pressures in search of more things to hopefully satisfy, or destroying marriages in search of another spouse to bring happiness! That verse also foretells that men will be “unthankful.” Yes, discontent breeds unthankfulness. The Bible commands, “And having food and raiment let us be therewith content” (1 Timothy 6:8). Contentment fosters thankfulness! The story is told of an older Christian woman in a poorly furnished cabin eating her humble meal. She was asked by a visitor, “Is this all you have, this scanty furniture, this humble home, and this poor food?” With a bright face she replied, “I have all this and Jesus too!” Like the Apostle Paul who said, “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content” (Philippians 4:11), she had learned true values! Her remarkable expression of gratefulness and thanksgiving sprang from her contentment which obviously was rooted in her personal relationship with Jesus Christ! You have cause to be content if Jesus is with you as Hebrews 13:5 states, “Let your conversation (life style) be without covetousness (always wanting more); and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

Die Buwe un die Meed; Un ihre Kinner, frisch un gsund; Der Daadi macht’s Gebet: „Mer danke dir, o liewer Gott, Fer alles, wie mer’s hen, Fer Gsundheit, Mitleid, Gnaade, Lieb Un Seelichkeet, Aamen!“ O, was en siessi, dankbaar Zeit Waar sell an’s Daadi’s Haus! Mit alle Hatz uffghowe zu Gott Iwwer alle Druwwel draus! Un so iss yeders schuldich nau, (Mer hoffe, all sin willing,) Em Gott hoch Ehr un Dank aaduh Sell macht en siess Thanksgiving. -Solly Hulsbuck (Harvey M. Miller) Thanksgiving [Part 2 of the poem. If you want to read Part 1, look in the last issue of “Town and Country”.] “Look, what is coming up the road there now, a group of well-dressed people! Anyhow, somebody is getting visitors once in this neighborhood today. What large fine men there are and pretty women, well! And little girls and boys also, perhaps a dozen, yes? “They are stopping here, – I certainly say so – we are definitely not prepared. And I am so mixed up now; I do not know whoever it is. They are coming in; they did not knock long and each one extends his hand [to me]. Well, these are our children, yes; You, dear God, be thanked!” And so wishing still availed; and it was a delight and joy. But whoever knew dad, that one knew his wish was [really] a prayer. The house is no longer so quiet and nothing is in its place. When 12 grandkids frolic and play tricks, it helps. Now two turkeys are necessary, (They brought them into the kitchen.) genuine, large, proud birds; afterwards, very soon, they were prepared. The girls were giving orders, such as – “Now mom, sit today, you and dad rest yourselves once like first-class gentry!” They all sit around the table, the sons and the daughters,
and their children, fresh and healthy. Dad offers the prayer: “We thank you, O dear God for everything, as we have it, for health, mercy, grace, love and salvation. Aamen.” O what a sweet thankful time was that at dad’s house, with every heart held up to God over all the problems out there! And so everyone is obligated now (We hope they all are willing.) to put onto God high honor and thanks – that is a sweet Thanksgiving! [While the pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving in 1621 and many of our early presidents declared a day of thanksgiving, it was not until
1863 that Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November a federal holiday, “as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens". That practice continued until the presidency of FDR, when some dispute arose concerning what to do when November had five Thursdays. On October 6, 1941, both houses of congress passed a joint resolution and later amended it that December to fix the date of Thanksgiving into federal law as the fourth Thursday of November. That remains the law to this day.] Hallicher Betdaag zu eich all! Happy Thanksgiving to all! -Larry Gradwohl See “Touch of Dutch” in every edition of our sister paper, The Town & Country Gazette.

shapes, sizes, breeds and ages, but senior pets are typically the most difficult to place. We’ve found that while puppies are adorable, when you choose to adopt an older pet, you know what to expect. Senior cats and dogs are fully grown, their personalities have developed, and many are al-
ready trained. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! In our experience, senior dogs are often easier to train than puppies due to their calm demeanor and prior interactions with human companions. Older pets can be great matches for seniors, or those who enjoy a less active lifestyle.
We’re on the brink of the holiday season, and we can’t think of a better time to provide a home for a shelter pet. Visit our Adopt section to find available senior dogs and cats near you, and help one less animal spend the holiday season in a shelter.
