SEAN BROWN With fall's arrival, PennDOT is reminding motorists to use caution and be alert for seasonal travel hazards like sun glare, frosty mornings and wet leaves. Sun glare can affect morning and evening commutes as sunrise and sunset coincide with rush-hour traffic. As intense sun glare can affect a driver's vision, motorists can prepare by keeping a pair of sunglasses within reach, removing items from vehicle sun visors and by keeping vehicle windshields clean. As overnight temperatures approach freezing, motorists should watch for frost and icy spots, especially on bridges, overpasses and shaded areas on roadways. Drivers should also be certain that their vehicles' windows are clear of frost before driving. Wet leaves are extremely slippery and can obscure traffic lines and pavement markings. Drivers can help reduce their risk of a crash by slowing down and using extra caution on leaf-covered roadways, especially on narrow or winding roads. PennDOT offers these additional fall driving tips: •Check your vehicle's headlights, taillights and turn signals to ensure they are working properly, since darkness will be part of many drivers' morning and evening commutes. •Have your vehicle's heating and wiper systems checked to ensure they are working properly. Pennsylvania law requires you to turn on your headlights if your wipers are in use. •Be sure you have tires with sufficient tread depth in case of an early season snowfall. •Watch for students walking or waiting for their buses along your commute route.

Bushkill Center Road now Veterans Memorial Highway By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
On Monday, a road in Bushkill Township was re-named to honor veterans of all wars. A number of veterans were present as a sign along Bushkill Center Road was unveiled by PennDOT workers with its new name, Veterans Memorial Highway. The move was made possible when State Representative Marcia Hahn introduced H.B. 2099 in the Pa. General Assembly. She had opening remarks in Monday’s ceremony. “Today we honor the men and women who gave of themselves for our freedom,” she said. The
idea for the new name came about a year ago when she and local patriot Bill Brackbill said they wanted to do something to honor veterans. PennDOT District 5 Executive Michael W. Rebert said, “It’s a great honor to be involved.” He noted that President Dwight Eisenhower changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day and it was he who started the interstate highway system. Rebert went on to note that there are 19.6 million veterans in the United States; Governor Tom Corbett signed on to Act 176 which identifies veterans on driver licenses, and that the Pennsylvania Veterans Trust Fund
comes from sale of license plates. Bushkill Township Supervisors Chairman Brien Kocher introduced other supervisors present for the ceremony. The board formed a committee in 2012 that led to the township celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2013. Out of that grew the idea for Veterans Memorial Highway, for he said, “Veterans shaped our freedoms.” Brackbill thanked all those who helped make the project possible in re-naming the road. Rep. Hahn added that 200 cards were sent to veterans in hospitals, and concluded, “What our veterans Continued on page 2

Hahn stood next to them, including Jeff Snyder, George Haymack, Leon Klipple, Jim Buhman, Tom Abruzzese, William Radcliffe, Elmer Yeakel and her son, Eric Hahn. After the program on Monday, everyone went back to the Bushkill Township Office for refreshments – kiffles, coffee and bottled water.

Op-Ed
DEP Releases Updated Smog Plan, Families Still at Risk from Life-Threatening Pollution Submitted by KIM TEPLITZKY On Tuesday, the Department of Environmental Protection released an updated smog-control plan. While the revised plan has some improvements, it’s still not strong enough to fully protect families’ health. Now, the revised plan goes to the state’s Air Quality Technical Advisory Committee (AQTAC) for review at a meeting Friday. They will vote on whether or not to recommend the plan for final approval. While DEP improved the pollution limits in their plan in response to feedback from residents and the EPA, they still fall short of requiring the state’s largest polluting coal plants to fully utilize existing and available polluting-cutting technology. The weak plan lets plants without modern technology off the hook entirely, like the Brunner Island coal plant in York County which would be allowed to pollute at higher rates than any other coal plant in the state. And worse - the updated plan would still allow polluters to average their smog-causing pollution over time, meaning they can make bad air days even worse for vulnerable people like children, seniors and those with asthma. The plan would be weakest among neighboring state and allow 50% more smog-causing pollution than a similar plan approved by a parallel committee in Maryland. In response, Tom Schuster, Sierra Club Senior Pennsylvania Representative, made the following statement: "While we're glad the DEP has tried to improve their smog plan, the updated proposal still leaves our families at risk. The thousands of Pennsylvanians who have commented on this plan are demanding more than half measures. Nearly two-thirds of all Pennsylvanians are at risk from high levels of health-damaging smog pollution in their communities. "The proposed pollution limits in this plan are still weaker than any of our neighboring states. It's time for Pennsylvania to get serious about cleaning up the air we breathe. We need a stronger plan, like the one recently proposed in Maryland, that will actually cut harmful, smogcausing pollution from coal plants in our communities."

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Under the Bus syrup with butter. She said, “Did you order syrup?” I said, “No, I ordered butter and syrup.” Defensively she says, “SHE TOLD ME you ordered syrup.” “No, I ordered syrup and butter.” She left, took it with her and went to another table. After more waiting she came back, dropped off the syrup and butter and said, By CAROL RITTER I was just minding my own “SHE TOLD ME YOU ORbusiness, out for breakfast DERED SYRUP.” First, who is with mom and I decided to she? Second, what the heck order one of my all time favor- was that? I barely said a word ites, “grits.” I asked for butter and just watched her throw and maple syrup on the side. her co-worker under the bus Simple, not complicated, just not once, not twice but three butter and syrup.

Do you work with someone like this? Someone who is untrustworthy and so focused on perfection that they would always be ready to say someone else did it? Put your feet in my shoes, mom and I were just shaking our heads while she spent all this time performing the “I didn’t do it routine. “
The moral of the story
1.
Being perfect is not a requirement for outstanding customer service.
2.
The time she spent trying to convince me she was right could have been better spent just getting what I ordered.
3. Throwing a co-worker under the bus should be unacceptable in the workplace, especially in front of a customer.

This stone center-hall farmhouse is historically known as the Hugh Horner Homestead. Hugh was a son of Jane Horner, the first casualty of the massacre of 1763, when she was killed by angered Indians as she set out to go to a neighbor for live coals to start her own fire. Hugh bought the original 107 acres in 1782 from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which had confiscated the land from Andrew Allen, identified as a traitor for assisting the army of the King of Great Britain. The original house was built in 1787. The house has been in the Swan family for 43 years. The kitchen, which was updated in the 1990s, has cherry cabinets, punched tin panels, and tile backsplash. The kitchen/family room has a stone walk-in fireplace. The dining and living rooms have open beams, built-in cupboards, and fireplaces with
brick hearths. The living room fireplace was “modernized” in the late 1800s with a slate mantel. The added powder room in the center hall has whimsical paintings of the family’s former pets, Harriet and Chessie. Upstairs, the remodeled bath features white tile and
dark green Vermont marble. The master bedroom has a fourth fireplace, simplistic with no mantel. Just beyond the master bedroom is a bedroom over the kitchen. It has dormer windows, slanted wooden ceiling, and wood walls.

hunters who still are in pursuit of a bear can participate in the four-day general season that opens Saturday, Nov. 22, then runs from Monday, Nov. 24 to Wednesday, Nov. 26. Extended opportunities to hunt bears during all or a portion of the deer-hunting seasons also exist in much of the state. There’s been plenty of reason to get excited about bear hunting in recent years. The 2013 harvest of 3,510 bears statewide represents the fifth-largest in state history, and continues a string of recent bear seasons taking their place in the record books. Three of the five largest harvests have occurred in the last three years. Pennsylvania’s largest harvest on record – 4,350 bears – occurred in 2011, and the third-largest harvest – 3,632 bears – followed in 2012.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Veterans of all the armed forces were honored on Tuesday as Veterans Day was observed. The event was also marked at area church services on Sunday and at a road sign dedication in Bushkill Township on Monday. The Legion in town also had some good things for their members on Tuesday. It seemed that wars went in 25-year cycles long ago, but in the times we’re living in now, they’re in one part of the world or another every year, and Americans are involved. All we at home can do is hope that they come home safe and sound. Too many of them don’t. So we should also honor those serving now. Our veterans deserve the best we can do for them. They’ve done so much for us on the home front to preserve the freedoms we take for granted. . . . The weather has been really nice this week, some days warm for this time of year, and colder on others. At least the sun has been shining and whenever it is you just feel better. . . . .How about those Eagles? They seem to be clicking downright good, even with their back-up quarterback. Sanchez has had a lot of experience, and he’s taken on Chip Kelly’s system without missing a beat. . . .I see that the new business, Ross Martin Interiors, in our former newspaper building has its name up in lights, and
finishing touches are being made to the new Dunkin Donuts building. It’s good to see growing business in town. . . .I hear the Thanksgiving meal has resumed at St. John’s Lutheran in town. . . .Boy, that was a great spaghetti dinner the Bath Area Food Bank had on Sunday down at the U.C.C. church. Whatta crowd! Folks kept on coming in and the gang in the kitchen kept the spaghetti, meatballs and sauce flowing without a break. Let’s hope they made out well on the money end, ‘cause if they did, it can buy plenty of food for all the needy families around here. . . . Boy Scouts put out bags for folks to place cans of food in them last week, and they’ll be picked up this Saturday, the way I get it. . . . Natural gas pipeline hearing was held down in Hanover Township last night. Moore Township is gonna have one come next Wednesday. I reckon there’s good and bad points to the project, so we’ll see how it turns out in the near future. . . .I liked that ad Community Veterinary Practice had in last week’s paper. One dog with a an American flag, another with a soldier’s helmet, and a third with a boot. They celebrated for the veterans. . . . Two places Elmira and Pete haven’t tried as yet for the good food they serve – Red Wolf Bar & Grille and Point Phillips Hotel. I keep hearing good things

about ‘em. . . . Ye Ed tells me no dart scores for the paper this week. Seems somebody switched jackets with statistician Dave Casey, so when he wanted to go home, no keys for his car!! He hadta bum a ride with somebody else and it was almost midnight till he got home from Bethlehem. . . . Hey, how about them there gas prices? $2.95 a gallon of gas has arrived at the Sunoco A+ & Shell Subway in Bath and it’s $2.93 at the 512 Penn Jersey just south of Bath. Hear it’s $2.95 over in Nazareth and out in Cherryville, too . . . Glad to see taxes won’t go up in town. They’re taking a hit over Nazareth way with swimming pool costs, etc. . . .Another couple weeks or so and “Lefty” Beal will be back to normal with his bowling swings. . . . Time out for a cup of coffee to go with my kiffles from up Moorestown way. Another week, then we can have nut roll from the firefighter’s ladies auxiliary. . . .Bundle up, it’s supposed to turn colder. Hopefully with no snow like out in the Midwest.
Bath Bowling Two Teams Closing In on Team 1 in Bath Die Hards League Team 1 lost 1 to 3, and two runners-up in second place moved a bit closer to them with wins on Nov. 5 in the Bath Die Hards League.

Worshipful Master George Makoul and Senior Warden Kyle Grube of Manoquesy Lodge #413, F. & A.M., Bath. – Home News photo By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Manoquesy Lodge #413, Free & Accepted Masons, Bath, had their 146th annual banquet on Saturday night in the BarnHouse Village restaurant. Worshipful Master George M. Makoul told the audience that growing up in the nearby hamlet of Penn Allen, there was a rivalry in the family with half of them devoted to Nazareth and half to Bath. (His mother was one of 13 brothers and sisters.) Makoul said he called himself a Nazarene, but then added, “I’ve softened my
stance over the past decade or so and that’s because I’ve come to find an amazing jewel in Bath’s crown, a jewel that most of Bath doesn’t even realize exists. That is Manoquesy Lodge No. 413. It’s the people that make our lodge special. In addition to our stated meetings, there’s always so many other activities. We don’t do this because we’re lodge brothers, we do this because we are friends.” He explained the diversity of the membership and their different occupations. “We have nothing in common, except for Freemasonry. It has made me a better man. We
start as strangers, are raised as brothers, then eventually become friends.” Today, there are 218 members in the lodge and it has experienced phenomenal growth in the past few years – 15 new members between 1990 and 2000, 49 between 2000 and 2010, and 64 between 2010 and 2014. Makoul then introduced his elected and appointed officers this year: Kyle Grube, senior warden; Patrick Ridenour, junior warden; W. Jay Mills, treasurer; Matthew Silfies, secretary; Christopher Hill, senior deacon; Glenn Zullick, junior dea-

Lehigh Portland Cement Donates to Atlas Museum by JANA BOSKEY The Northampton Council meeting on November 6 began with Councilman Ed Pany receiving a $1,000 check from Lehigh Portland Cement for use at the Atlas Cement Museum. Also received was a thank you letter for a tour Pany conducted for the Coplay Recreation and Welfare Association. There will be a dance at the recreation center on Novem-
ber 15 at 6:30 p.m. for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. The annual tree lighting ceremony will be on November 30 at Main Street and Laubach Avenue. Good Shepherd elementary school students will be arriving at 5:30 p.m. to sing Christmas carols. At 6 p.m. there will be an appearance by Mr. and Mrs. Claus. The Santa Claus Run will occur on December 20. Presents will be delivered to the homes of those who made it on the “nice” list. Donated presents may be dropped off at the fire station on December 17, 18 or 19 between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. For more information on the run or making a donation, please call 610-262-9411. Paving will continue on Laubach Avenue from 13th Street to 14th Street and in Whittle Alley. The paving machine used by borough crews is in need of repair, and since
the model is from 1988, parts a scarce. An effort will be made to contact a paving company if the machine is not repaired before Thanksgiving. The Uptown Park had a new sewer and water line installed. The next project will be erecting a pole to allow electric service to be brought to the site. After all of the utility projects are completed, the site will be prepared for the construction of a gazebo and pergolas.

by CINDY MILLER PennDOT will present their proposed intersection improvement plan for Route 248 and Mountain View Drive in Berlinsville to the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, November 25, at 7 p.m. in the Municipal Building on Municipal Drive. Presently PennDOT is proposing the construction of a fourleg, single-lane roundabout. The roundabout would include channelized approaches on all four entries by way of raised splitter islands about 50 feet in length. The central island would be raised and include a traversable truck apron about 10 feet in radius. The typical maximum entering speeds are 20 to 25 mph. The roadway would be widened on all four corners of the intersection except the northwest corner and requires taking some land from property owners. All sides of the intersection will have four-foot wide sidewalks and crosswalks installed including a two-foot buffer area between the sidewalk and roadway. Splitter islands will provide for pedestrian access from one side of intersection to another. Further engineering analysis will be required to determine final alignments of the roundabout. The Board of Supervisors highly encourages residents of the Township, especially adjacent property owners to the intersection, to attend this informational meeting to voice your opinion. For more detailed information, please visit the Lehigh Township website at www.lehightownship.com.

WWII Memories
Submitted by ALICE YEAKEL This story will be among those printed in the Nazareth 275th Anniversary Book. As usual on Sunday, following church service, my parents and I went to my grandparents for noon dinner. When we finished, Bop Bop would turn on the radio for the one o'clock news. But it was no ordinary Sunday; it was December 7, 1941, and the headline was "Japan airplanes are bombing Pearl Harbor". World War II had started! The Nazareth community had bonded a year earlier in celebrating the Borough's bicentennial. Now those bonds would strengthen, as it geared for defense and supporting America's fight against the Japanese and the "Nazis". One of the first calls was for her sons to go off to war; and many did. Most eventually came home, but some gave their lives for our country and us. And Nazareth responded in

many ways, a few are herein remembered The top level of the Indian Cemetery tower was enclosed and used as an observation deck to identify overflying aircraft, track their direction and report to the Allentown Airport. Citizens volunteered to man twohour shifts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Citizens were asked to draw curtains and blinds at night and to mask their car headlights with black tape, leaving only an inch slit for light to show. Streetlights were turned off. All this was to make the borough undetectable should enemy aircraft attack at night.
Each school day began with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. We came to learn the meaning of those words! On Fridays students could purchase savings stamps for ten or twenty five cents to support the war effort. When $18.50 worth of stamps was accumulated, a $25 War Bond was issued, maturing in, I believe, 7 years- all to support the war effort. Saving used newspapers and "tin" cans for recycling was asked. Every three or four months merchants used their trucks to collect the papers throughout the Borough. The collection was brought to Pete Continued on page 13

WWII Memories Continued from page 12
Yeisley's warehouse on Walnut Street, just east of Main Street. That night, or the next day a large truck came to take the bounty away. Then there was rationing, - food and gasoline come to mind. Limits of certain food were imposed, and butter was replaced with oleo margarine, which was white in color, but you could add some yellow food coloring that would make it look like butter. Each car or truck was given a gas sticker, based on your claim of how the vehicle was used. The A, B, C, or D stickers showed your monthly gasoline allotment, as stamps were surrendered with each fuel purchase. If you exhausted your allowance before 30 days, you walked or bummed a ride. The community endured and again grew close. Then that magical day in August 1945, the surrender of Japan was announced. An impromptu parade of cars celebrated, honking their horns, moving up and down Main Street. It was a triumphant end to a strenuous almost four years. And Nazareth emerged a strong community. -Donald Himler, NAHS class of ‘53

“Magnify The Lord”
David said, “O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together” (Psalm 34:3). We magnify the Lord when we exalt His name or His character—He is holy, just, merciful, and gracious! We magnify the Lord when we praise Him for Who He is! Our concept of God's majesty and power is far too small. We tend to focus on petty problems and magnify insignificant things. Instead, we need to focus on the vastness of God’s greatness! We need to say with David, “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving” (Psalm 69:30). We magnify the Lord when we thank Him for what He has done for us! Samuel told Israel "consider how great things he hath done for you" (I Samuel 2:24). As we think about the great things God has done for us—how He has saved us from sin, and changed our destination from hell to heaven—our hearts throb with gratitude and overflow with thankfulness to Him. With Mary, the mother of Jesus, we cry out, “My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour…For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name” (Luke 1:46-55). As we magnify the Lord, others around us are impacted. “He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD” (Psalm 40:3). “Let them shout for joy, and be glad…let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified” (Psalm 35:27). Spirit-filled believers magnify the Lord! Paul instructed, “Be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:18-20). When God “poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost” on Cornelius’s household in Acts 10:46, “They heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.”

News Sermonette The Rev. Glenn Rice Reprinted from Nov., 2009
November The month of November is a unique month. During this time of year, we experience the change from warm to cool, our daylight hours are shortened and we become more reflective. During this month we remember those in our lives with: • All Saint’s Day - Celebrating loved ones who have died • Veterans Day - Thanking those who keep our country free • Thanksgiving - Remembering our heritage and giving thanks to God, knowing everything comes from Him. It is important to remember; to know our history. Somehow we tend to live only in the moment. Can you imagine how great we would be if we could capture all of our ancestors’ wisdom when we were born, instead of having to build our own knowledge base from scratch? We tend to believe we are different, living in a new age and somehow we are better, smarter, and superior to those who have created the world we currently live in. I love reading the Bible, especially the Old Testament. The many ancient characters we read about are exactly like us today. They knew of their ancestry and yet tended to think they were better and moved forward committing the same mistakes their ancestors did. These people were born, then they loved, laughed, argued, broke all ten commandments, learned, ate, drank, walked, talked, dreamed, reproduced, had a belief system knowing there was a God, and eventually died. They were human beings just like we are today. We may have better technology and know more about the sciences of this world but we have not changed our basic human conditions. We are all born into this world; having mother and father. God is still with us just as He was with the earliest human beings. All of us love others while we continue to sin on a daily basis and then some day we will all die. When you’re living your daily lives, please remember the past and your ancestors. Say a prayer for yourself and those who have shaped the life you are living. Learn from our centuries of history so you can resist making the same errors of the past. This is a month of remembering. Using those memories, move forward, focusing your energies toward helping make a better world for future generations.

Outdoors Continued from page 7
Extended seasons in WMUs 2C and 4B are new this year, and the seasons in each run from Dec. 3 to Dec. 6. WMU 2C has had a slightly increasing bear population trend. Highway mortalities of bears have been slowly increasing in the area, and there’s been a noticeable increase in humanbear conflicts. WMU 4B also has had an increasing trend of humanbear conflicts, with several incidents in recent years involving home entry or injury to pets and people. Highway mortality of bears also has increased there, as has the bear harvest, which has tripled since 2003. A complete list of opening and closing days can be found on Page 33 of the 2014-15 Pennsylvania Hunting & Trapping Digest issued to hunters when they purchase their licenses, or at the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state. pa.us. All bear harvests must be reported to the Game Commission. Hunters who harvest a bear during the four-day general season must take it to one of the Game Commission’s check stations within 24 hours. Taking bears to a check station also might be required in WMUs where bear hunting is permitted during all or a portion of the firearms deer season. A complete list of requirements, check stations and their dates and hours of operation can be found on pages 34 and 35 of the 201415 Pennsylvania Hunting & Trapping Digest. However, there are two changes to the check station information listed in the digest. First, a check station listed on Page 34 has been moved to another location. The check station in Monroe County in the Northeast Re-
gion, will be located at the Tobyhanna State Park Maintenance Facility on Church Street (SR 423), in Tobyhanna. GPS coordinates for the facility are 41.20226N, -75.40477W. There will not be a check station this year at the State Game Lands 127 building off Route 423. The building is under renovation, and it likely will return to being a check station site next year. Secondly, a check station in the Northcentral Region was omitted from the list that appears on Page 35 of the digest. There will be a check station in Union County at the Laurelton Bald Eagle State Forest headquarters. This station, located on Route 45 one-tenth of a mile west of Route 235, will be open during the extended season on Wednesday and Saturday, from noon to 8 p.m., as in past years. Hunters should also note the Indiana County check station that previously was located at Yellow Creek State Park, has been moved to the Homer City Fire Department, 51 W. Church St.,
Homer City. The new location is listed on Page 34 of the digest. Hunters who harvest a bear during the bear archery season – or in any other period where check stations are closed – must within 24 hours contact the Game Commission region office that serves the county in which the bear was harvested for checking instructions.
Bear Seasons
To participate in bear hunting in Pennsylvania, a hunter needs a general hunting license, as well as a bear license. Bear licenses can be purchased until the day before the statewide general bear season – for example, through Nov. 21 – but not during the season. After the general bear season, bear licenses can again be purchased until the day before the extended bear season – for example, from Nov. 27 through Nov. 30.
Bear hunters also must observe fluorescent orange requirements. In the bear archery season, hunters are required at all times while moving to wear a hat containing a minimum of 100 square inches of solid fluo-
rescent orange material if hunting in an area also open to fall turkey hunting. The hat may be removed once the archer has settled in a stationary position. During the firearms seasons for bear, hunters must wear a minimum of 250 square inches of fluorescent orange material on the head, chest and back combined. The orange must be visible from 360 degrees and must be worn at all times while hunting. Hunting licenses can be purchased online from The Outdoor Shop at the Game Commission’s website, but buyers should be advised that because bear licenses contain harvest ear tags, they are sent by mail rather than printed at home. Buyers waiting to the last minute to purchase a bear license might be better off making a trip to an authorized licensing agent and picking up a license there. Licensing agents can be searched by county at the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state.pa.us, under the “Hunt/Trap” tab. All bear harvests must be reported to the Game Commission and checked.

Nazareth’s Humble Hearts for Hope Helps Deployed Troops
By Danielle S. Tepper It can be easy to forget, as we toil through our daily troubles, that the smallest opportunities available to us are the direct result of a soldier’s sacrifice. Too often we take for granted what our men and women in the armed forces are fighting for. Therefore, it’s important to remember that there are ways we can help them that require no more of us than a little time and energy. In honor of Veterans Day and our annual nonprofit/ volunteering issue, we spotlight a local organization trying to do just that: give back. Humble Hearts For Hope, a nonprofit based in Plainfield Township committed to serving U.S. troops overseas, officially began in March of 2011, after spending approximately a year in the brainstorming stages. Brenda Detweiler of Nazareth had begun to see a need for soldier assistance on a local level in the Lehigh Valley area. “I put a lot of thought into it and started grabbing people that I knew may be interested and those people are still with us now,” explained Detweiler. “We sat down and set it up through the state of PA. It took off from there. We opened three years ago on the basis that we were assisting our deployed troops, not injured troops
or those who are helped by large corporations.” HHFH’s primary goal is to send monthly care packages of donated items to deployed troops through the contacts Detweiler and her team have generated since their inception. “We receive a lot of leads from people of who to ship to just by word of mouth. And we take from everywhere; 90 percent, if not more, of the items are purely donated from the community, whether that be individuals, Scout groups, schools, or churches,” explained Detweiler. “Unfortunately, a lot of local organizations and companies that could help us out don’t even know we exist.” It’s a passion project that they all believe in. Detweiler and her band of dedicated board members operate HHFH in between their own home lives and, for most of them, full-time jobs. Detweiler’s husband, who came up with the name for the group, and her three children are all volunteers. Some of the members also have their own personal ties to the military, which spurs them to work hard at giving back. “Everybody in the group is very committed to assisting the troops, for no pay,” said Detweiler. “It’s 100 percent volunteer and that’s what I personally like as the owner. We don’t want anything back.” Well, except for some help from the community. HHFH hosts approximately a dozen fundraising events each year in an attempt to boost their capabilities. “We need more volunteers for those events,” said Detweiler. “Especially the big ones; we need more hands. I don’t want my people getting burned out. We kind of push the envelope sometimes, because I have a lot of ideas racing around.” The highest expense of their
efforts is shipping the packages themselves, which run around $16 each. “If we keep going like that, we’re going to be fine, but whenever funds are given up for advertising or events, that’s how I look at it: oh, we just lost however many packages,” Detweiler said. “The crew has gotten me to the point where I accept that you have to do certain things to get the money to come back in. We’ve been very blessed.” HHFH consists of only seven board members and as many volunteers as they can gather. They are small, but mighty. They’ve proven themselves capable of having a real impact on the lives of the soldiers they serve. Detweiler said that people tend to not comprehend that what they do is impressive for such a small-scale group. They are often compared to the United Service Organizations (USO, www.uso. org), which sends out thousands of packages per year. “Well, we’re limited to the addresses we receive. If we receive more, we can send more. We also ship monthly, while other companies ship seasonally or as requested,” explained Detweiler. “We like to meet special needs; there was a female soldier whose heritage doesn’t allow her to join the military, but she did it anyway to serve our country and she gets nothing, so we’re helping her with an extra box a month.” They assist the biker group Warriors’ Watch (www.warriorswatch. org) with special send-offs and homecomings. They honor veterans when they’re able. They contribute to Stars For Our Troops (www.starsforourtroops.org). They even reach out to local military families in need. “Many of these women don’t want their husbands to worry when they’re away; we helped someone who had lost her job by giving her groceries. When he came home for the weekend, the
November 13-19, 2014 19
kitchen was full,” explained Detweiler. “We’ve paid rent, utilities, given gift cards for food. We post these stories on Facebook and the community is just so generous.” HHFH seeks to help any family in need. While their focus is in Pennsylvania, Detweiler says they’ll never turn someone away if they have the supplies to help them; they’re currently assisting two people in Ohio. Detweiler also notes that if there is a problem they can’t help with, they are more than happy to direct someone to the proper resources. Their primary focus for the future is to build up a base of volunteers. “We’d really like to see the local youth get involved,” said Detweiler. “We’re trying to incorporate a program in the schools that allows them to collect community service hours for helping us. But we want them to give back not because they’re forced to, but because they want to. That makes all the difference in how the work gets done.” That, and a solid foundation of 12 companies willing to commit to one month a year of collecting donations for them; the milestone they are hoping to reach for the
coming year. In spite of all their fundraising, Detweiler admits that they’ve had to dip into their own pockets from time to time: “I think we’re all guilty of that, but we do it silently. We like to see them receive the things they need, because they’re challenged with things that we don’t ever want to see in life. They deserve it. They’re fighting for our freedoms. And we have a great time doing it; it keeps you lively. There’s always the stress before an event, but it’s so worth it.” As far as the fruits of their labor, Detweiler says that while hearing success stories is nice, it’s not a necessary part of it for them. “We don’t look for anything back, but when we get it, it’s so awesome,” she explained. “The welcome home we did this year was phenomenal. It’s emotional. There are kids who don’t see their parents for months at a time, so it’s nice to be there for them. If we don’t hear from the soldiers or the families, it really doesn’t matter. We know we’re helping. It’s all for the troops and that’s all that matters.”

Local Dog Advocates Working to Remove the Stigma from MisUnderstood Breeds: MisPits
f you are a dog parent, and your dog is represented by one of the silhouettes in this logo, then you have most likely come upon at least one person who has prematurely judged your dog, and taken a step back on sight. This is an unfortunate situation, since these are some of the most loving dogs that exist today. If properly raised by responsible humans, any breed
can be a wonderful addition to any family. Every one of these breeds can earn their Canine Good Citizen & Therapy Dog certifications, and if they are at least 50 pounds, can be blood donors, to help other dogs in need, maybe even yours. Since no one seemed to be sharing critical information about how to responsibly raise a Misunderstood breed, MisPits

came into being. Formed by three local women, MisPits set out to educate the Lehigh Valley about these MisUnderstood dogs, and how to be a responsible dog owner/ parent. They are educating new adopters on what to expect after adopting, and what to do when issues arise. “Many people think that they are alone when they are having issues with their dogs”, according to Margaret Kavanagh, one of the founders. MisPits is doing what they can, so that dog parents can get the support, resources and referrals that they need. At local pet-related events, you are sure to see the MisPits tent, with a swarm of people and their dogs, buzzing around it. Free educational information is provided on the following topic:
• Pet First Aid • Heat Stroke • Holiday Pet Hazards • How to handle various situations in the home • The lifestyle of having multiple dogs that do not live peacefully together • Socialization & Exercize • Appropriate leashes • Appropriate toys • Kenneling (Crate Training) • Body Language • Nutrition
MisPits has a strong mission: “Our goal to promote positive public perception, ownership, health and welfare of all our four legged friends. Our hope is to educate and to end the negative stigma associated with bully-type breeds.” You can visit them at the Wesley Church holiday Craft Fair on Nov. 22 (2540 Center St, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18017) and Gift Wrapping at the Barnes & Noble in the Promenade, December 19 through December 21.
