The silence from more than 240 people who attended a meeting last Wednesday night in the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. hall in Moore Township was deafening. But not so for four people who are fighting the proposed 108-mile PennEast natural gas pipeline, which is going through Moore Township as well as many other local areas as it stretches from Luzerne County into New Jersey. They were very animated. The audience made no verbal comments, and its only input was on a half dozen questions of concern they posed to the presenters in a panel discussion, coordinated by an organization called Food and Water Watch. Not to say that the people were neutral about the pipeline, for many are opposed. To show their objections, they signed petitions and picked up dozens of green signs that read “Stop the Fracking Pipeline” on one side and “Pipelines Deliver Pollution 24/7/365” on the other side. The signs also list the sponsor’s website, www.delawareriver-

Food and Water Watch coordinator Tara Zrinski saying, “We’re all in the same neighborhood sharing space.” What followed were discussions from Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper; Sam Koplika-Loehr, shale gas organizer for the Clean Air Council, and Karen Feridun, activist and founder of Berks Gas Truth in Berks County. Ms. Van Rossum said, “We can’t accomplish the mission of clean water if pipelines are cutting through the streams, wetlands, residential communities and forests.” She disputed claims by the pipeline people that they will restore the land after the 36inch lines are buried three feet in the ground. Power Point slides showed there will be compressor stations every 50 to 60 miles; and in the Delaware River Watershed there are 11 with seven more planned. The Delaware Riverkeeper brought a legal challenge to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in Washington, D.C. for its failure to address the cumulative effect. Her final comments: “Don’t take the position, ‘It’s not in my backyard,’ for if doing that the pipeline company will win. . .We don’t want or need the shale gas that will pass through our communities. No drilling means no pipelines.” She echoed the Supreme Court
ment is inherent and indefeasible and must be protected.” Ms. Zrinski noted at that point that there are 70 groups against fracking in Pennsylvania. Mr. Koplinka added more to the discussion with slides showing air emissions from transmission pipelines; methane leakage; and CO2 emissions of 99,215 tons a year. He asserted that one large compressor station planned in Carbon County will have potential health impact. He said that FERC has not declined any pipeline project. Ms. Kilgour of the Sierra Club said their desire is to practice and promote the responsible use of the earth’s ecosystems and resources. She said PennEast has sent letters out to survey properties for mapping and planning purposes. But she added that if already permitted, people can change their minds. There are negotiations for rights of way or easements. Ms. Kilgour noted that rights of way should be treated with the same seriousness and scrutiny as you would treat your sale or lease of land. If you say no, PennEast may seek access to your land through eminent domain for public use. One thing she said, “The FERC can issue companies a “certificate of necessity and convenience” for pipelines that
Moore Township was praised as the first municipality in Pennsylvania to oppose the PennEast pipeline. One of the Moore Twsp. Supervisors, Dan Piorkowski, who framed the resolution passed at a meeting on Nov. 3, said, “The most important thing is that people get involved.” They had asked PennEast to make a presentation and they were put off, he said. In an e-mail, Piorkowski said Moore Township has beautiful farmlands, woodlands, mounContinued on page 7
Wilkes Student Performs Pharmacy Rotation in Peru
Submitted by VICKI MAY Wilkes University student Liz Taber performed a threeweek pharmacy rotation in Peru through the Global Awareness Institute. The international program provides pharmacy students an opportunity to study in the rainforest and learn about medicinal plants unique to the region. Taber is the daughter of Beth and Charlie Taber of Nazareth. The rotation fulfills one of six rotations required by the University's doctor of pharmacy program. Taber completed the rotation in Peru in July. Taber visited research institutions and medicinal gardens and was required to keep a plant portfolio. The portfolio features pictures of the diverse specimens and lists their Latin names, chemical components, illnesses they treat, the part of the plant used, how it is prepared and administered. Toxicity also is noted. The plants she encountered cannot be cultivated outside the rainforest. Taber explains that while Wilkes offers an elective course in alternative medicine, the practice is not widespread in the United States. Taber noted too the differences between the health care systems of Peru and the United States. She says that while Peruvian pharmacy students complete six years of schooling and rotations as do their American Continued on page 10

Hire her today.... she’s smart, hard working, high work ethic and wants to help your customers. This can’t be true. I think she has the “customer service
gene.” This weekend, like most, I spent a portion of my time in the grocery store. I got the turkey, got the ham and filled my cart with all the fixin’s. Then, it was check out time. The customer in front of me was friendly enough, the checkout clerk, though, looked uninterested or he just had a bad attitude.

Bath Lions to Decorate park tree For yule program
A Thanksgiving Inheritance
Members of the Bath Lions Club will meet at 9 a.m. this Saturday morning, Nov. 29 at Monocacy Creek Park on W.

Showing DVD scenes of helping the blind, Young told the Lions about a building program by Leader Dogs at their location in Michigan, in which the kennel facility will be greatly improved. He said that the project is driven
Tamaqua, Calvary Evangelical United Methodist Church The news media once carried a story about a woman who had been working two jobs while struggling to raise her children. For years she had been pinching pennies and trying to make ends meet while working toward financial stability.Unexpectedly, one day she read an article about tracing one’s family tree. After diligent searching on-line and writing a few letters she discovered thefact that she was heir to an inheritance. It seems a very distant, but wealthy, relative had died and left her a substantial amount of money she hadn’t known about. She was overwhelmed and had to read the documents she eventually received from a lawyer over and over just to convince herself it was for real. Here is a similar news flash
for you. Almost two thousand years ago, our Heavenly Father made you heir to an amazing legacy. By his death and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and death and invites you to receive forgiveness of sin with the benefit of eternal life. To receive this inheritance all you have to do is repent of sin and invite Christ into your life as your Saviorand Lord. This inheritance is much more valuable than mere silver or gold. With Jesus’ resurrection He broke a threefold curse and created an eternal life inheritance for all who would accept Him and live for Him. First, He gives deliverance from the practice or enslavement to sin. The Bible reminds us: “But God who is rich in mercy, and loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our

sins, He gave us life when He raised Christfrom the dead” (Ephesians 2:4-5). This points believers to the privilege of living in spiritual light. Second, His presence allows us to live a healthy life and never face the struggles of life alone. Christ “Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses” (Matthew 8:17). Third, Jesus destroyed the consequences of physical death. The promise is: “He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you” (Romans 8:11). Jesus promises a heavenly home to all who accept Him. “I am the way, the truth and the life…I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14: 1-6). Have you heard people express doubt about themselves and their spiritual state? If so, they may have fallen back into the old enslaving habits and spiritual struggles. Without Jesus, sin and death take control of our lives. However, the Bible says an incredible spiritual inheritance can really be ours today. This Thanksgiving season let us rejoice with thankful hearts because this great spiritual transforming inheritance is ours. “Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift of His Son!” (II Corinthians 9:15).

Gab over the Fence
by Pete G. Ossip
After a few days of cold weather it was actually pretty nice, even up to 71 degrees, on Monday. Pity the poor people living up in the Buffalo, New York area with more than seven feet of lake effect snow! That’s more than we get in three or four years altogether. Course I shouldn‘t say that, for then we’re sure to get another big winter like we had last year. Let’s hope we don’t. Now I hear we’re gonna get three to six inches of the white stuff this Wednesday, the biggest travel day of the year. . . .By the time you read this the Northampton – Catasauqua high school football game will be history. They play the morning of Thanksgiving, and the way it’s been going Catty is favored to win. Lafayette and Lehigh played their big college game down at Yankee Stadium on Saturday with more than 48,000 watching. I was sticking for Lehigh, but Lafayette won. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the game on my TV. The Eagles won on Sunday, but they’re gonna have a tough time down in Dallas on Thanksgiving night. The New York Giants came
close on Sunday, but Dallas’s quarterback Tony Romo pulled one out again! . . . Porra Jay R. and secretary Anna Kish are expecting another big crowd for the Lutheran church’s Thanksgiving Day dinner. I saw in last week’s paper that the church up in Cherryville is having a dinner, too. . . .The Bath Lions will be decorating the tree down at Monocacy Creek Park this Saturday morning, in time for Sunday night’s Christmas lighting program at 6:00 p.m. I hope they have some hot chocolate to serve, too. Didn’t hear if Santa Claus will be showing up. I saw the pole decorative lights leaning against poles during the day and they were turned on Monday and Tuesday. Nazareth will have their lights go on next Thursday, December 4th at 7:30. And the Moore Township Lions and Lionesses will have their tree lighting at Klecknersville on December 6th at 6:30, Sterling Laubach told Ye Ed. . . . That sure was a bad crash over near the Sheetz gas station on Route 145 last week, with a man from up in Moore Township losing his life. Our sympathies to his family. . . .

tains, and four creeks. . .”The township’s residents value the physical beauty of Moore. We have nothing to gain with the PennEast pipeline coming through.” Later, Ms. Van Rossum said resolutions are the best. If ordinances are passed to prevent a company from putting in a pipeline, they will fail when challenged. Karen Feridun told the audience, “If you don’t fight, you lose.” She passed out petitions, told about the green signs, and gave a website for reference, www.stoppenneast.org, then urged, “What you need to do right now is fight the company.” She lamented that only 38% of those contacted have opposed the surveys. She concluded: “It is everybody’s backyard. It’s a matter of you taking charge in your community.” The panel then answered the questions posed on cards. “What impact is there on the environment?” Answer: There is less demand now for natural gas. But the companies use pipelines rather than shipping it by trucks or rail. Koplika said there are less accidents with pipelines than trucks, but when they occur are more catastrophic. “What do I do if I have no computer?” Answer: Then go to a library where they have them. The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) is the agency that protects the water source in the Delaware watershed. They will have a public meeting on Dec. 9 at 1:30 p.m. in Washington Crossing, Pa. “Does PennEast need permission to grant a survey?” Answer: If you grant an easement it stays in effect even if the pipeline route is changed. The environmental impact statement is a very important segment of the application process. “PennEast is not aware of all the sinkholes in this area. What about that?” Answer: The company says the pipeline can withstand earthquakes. We should submit evidence to the FERC about previous land subsistances. “Is the pipeline above or below the ground?” Answer: It is 3 ft. underground. “When are they filing applications?” Answer: In spring possibly. “What is being done on a

government level to protect the people Rep. Marcia Hahn represents?” Ms. Van Rossum encouraged contacting legislators, but she objected to Rep. Marcia’s support of a riparian buffer law (H.B. 1565) for streams, calling it “a bad decision.” (Marcia was in the audience.) She went on to say that the DRBC has placed a moratorium on natural gas extraction. “We don’t have any drilling in the Delaware River Watershed, but that could change.” Ms. Feridun added that there have been health impacts from fracking, and said alternatives are solar and wind capabilities for energy sources.

sors from Moore, Lehigh and Lower Nazareth townships, along with State Reps. Hahn, Julie Harhart and Mario Scavello. Lower Nazareth’s people left the meeting early. As projected now, the pipeline would go through the swimming pool and gazebo of Lower Nazareth Supervisor Robert Kucsan. The PennEast pipeline is 108 miles of 36-inch diameter pipe, proposed by the partnership of AGL Resources, NJR Pipeline Co., South Jersey Industries and UGI Energy Services. The construction of the new pipeline is for the transfer and delivery of natural gas generated by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in areas of the Marcellus and Utica Shale formation in Pennsylvania.

resenting 85 percent of allU.S. tea consumption. With so many wintry and seasonal tea flavors available—including gingerbread, cranberry, peppermint, spiced apple cider, citrus almond, pumpkin spice, candied apple and more— iced tea is becoming one of the most popular beverages at the holiday table. Frosty iced tea is also one of the easiest holiday beverages to prepare, so the hosts can enjoy the party along with the guests. Brew it ahead of time and store it in the fridge, and then just pour over ice to serve. Or, use an automatic iced tea maker such as the Capresso Iced Tea Maker, for custom brewed iced tea, from either loose tea or bags, at the touch of a button. If the holidays inspire your creativity in the kitchen, try this favorite:

“Nosey in Nazareth” Dear Nazareth, Even though we are days away from the turkey dinners and Christmas shopping, this fall season has been warm and jacket free, but ... I cannot let my guard down...snow is coming! I was watching the news of the recent snow storm that recently hit the Midwest. I found myself feeling a little guilty as I sat with a cup of herbal tea, logs in the fireplace burning, and I’m cozy and warm in my fleece p.j.’s. The weatherman kept running video footage of the people and their cars STOP SMOKING TODAY!

Last year, at this time I participated in the Nazareth YMCA (www.greater valleyymca.org/Nazareth) 8th Annual “Pumpkin Pie 5K Run & 1.5 mile Scenic Walk.” The turnout was great and it’s a fun way to start Thanksgiving Day before the stuffing!

Liz Taber Continued from page 1 counterparts, pharmacists in Peru have more responsibilities. Due to their availability for consultations, they are usually the first healthcare workers that patients visit, whereas medical doctors are seen for severe illnesses or chronic diseases. Another difference between the two countries' health care training is the availability of supplies and funds. Taber says, "One lab in Wilkes' Cohen Science Center could trump an entire Peruvian research institute, which may have ten test tubes in total." In addition to learning about Peruvian pharmacy practice, Taber had multiple opportunities to experience the Peruvian and Incan cultures. During her final week in the country, she traveled from the research center in Iquitos to Cuzco and Machu Picchu, an area that integrates the Incan and Christian cultures. She relates that the people there live much like their Incan ancestors did and fly both the Incan and Peruvian flags. The Incan flag depicts a rainbow, while the Peruvian banner is composed of two vertical red stripes separated by a white stripe. She adds that the residents place a cross flanked by two pig figurines atop their houses as another sign of cultural integration. When asked if she would return, she does not hesitate to state that she would, especially to learn more about Incan history and culture. "Machu Picchu is definitely a place where everyone must go sometime in their life," she says. "It's a beautiful area with a beautiful culture."
Wilkes University student Liz Taber studied rainforest flora and fauna during a three-week pharmacy rotation in Peru. Pictured is Taber holding a sloth.

Grateful To Whom?
Harriet Martineau was an atheist. One morning she and a Christian friend stepped out into the glories of a beautiful fall morning. As Harriet saw the brilliant sun peaking through the haze, the frost on the meadow, and the brightly colored leaves making their way lazily to the ground, she was overwhelmed with the beauty and burst forth with "I am so thankful. I’m just so grateful for it all." Her believing friend asked, "Grateful to Whom, my dear?" Jesus told of a wealthy farmer whose grounds had "brought forth plentifully" and who was planning to build larger barns to store his crops. He said to himself, “Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry” (Luke 12:19). This "self-made man" expressed no gratitude to God for his success, and he left God out of his future plans. But then God spoke to him, “Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?” (v.20). In this man’s foolish conceit and pride he was blinded to the truth that his achievements and accumulated riches were directly attributable to God! After all, God made the seeds he had planted, God made the ground that "brought forth plentifully," and God gave the rain and sunshine! Further, he was a fool to leave God out of his future plans. Applying these truths to us, Jesus said, “So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God” (v.21) Are you grateful and thankful to God for all He has given you and done for you? “Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine...therefore, our God, we thank thee...for all things come of thee” (1 Chronicles 29:11-14).

PUBLIC NOTICE-LEGAL PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN BOROUGH OF BATH Notice is given pursuant to the Pennsylvania Municipalities Code (Act of 1968, P.L.805, No.247 as reenacted and amended) and the Borough of Bath Zoning Ordinance that the Borough of Bath Zoning Hearing Board will meet on Monday, December 8, 2014 at 7:00PM on the application of Campbell Real Estate Holdings, owner of the property located at 107 E. Main St., Bath, PA. The property is located in a CH-1 Commercial Highway with Residential Zoning District. Appellant currently has four office suites on the second floor of the building. Appellant desires to reduce the square footage of the offices thereby increasing the number of smaller number of offices in the building. The Appellant requests an interpretation of the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law documented in the previous Zoning Hearing Board Decision known as Docket No. 2013-1, as well as Section 179-14, Section 179-101, and Section 179-135 of the Bath Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, Section 179-251B, states: “All uses should meet the off-street parking and loading requirements set forth in this Section…”. Section 179253A.6 identifies the “use” as “business and professional offices”. One parking space is required for each 200 sq. ft of floor area. Accordingly, the parking requirements are based on the amount of square footage of the office “use”, not the number of office suites. Appellant submits that the previous Zoning Hearing Board determination and the Ordinance permits the occupancy of all of the existing office space whether consisting of four large offices or multiple smaller offices.

Main St.) reminded me of other events that take place in Nazareth ushering in the wonderful celebration of Christmas! On the evening of December 4th starting at 7:30, go to Center Square and enjoy special music by Gary James & Faith Gabrielle. “Jingle Bells” is the theme song we ALL sing with the Nazareth High School Brass Ensemble inviting Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus to come to our town! Their arrival is fun when you see their mode of transportation, and they bring free toys for the children provided by Kitchen Magic (www.KitchenMagic. com). December 11th, C.F. Martin Guitar Co. (www.martinguitar.com) is hosting a “Holiday Open House” from 5-8 p.m. C.F. Martin Guitar is one of America’s most famous guitar makers. Plan to visit and learn more about the history of this company and some of the famous musicians that play a Martin guitar, and enjoy refreshments and of course music! If you are looking for traditional Christmas shopping, Nazareth has quaint shops that will have special holiday promotions on Saturday, December 13. You will hear Christmas carolers, music and visit the Center Square to admire the beautiful, near-life- size manger scene! Also the Moravian Historical Society (www.moravianhistoricalsociety.org) is hosting “Christmas in Nazareth,” a ticketed event featuring ice carving, live entertainment, assortment of food, and a special meeting with Santa Claus (Santa really loves being in Nazareth!) Another event not to miss is also on the same day, December 13, 11-4 p.m. at the Jacobsburg Historical Society (www.jacobsburghistory.com). “Christmas in Boulton.” This is home to the Pennsylvania Longrifle Museum, and the J. Joseph Henry’s 1832 mansion. The mansion will be beautifully decorated in a Victorian tradition and will open its doors to the commu-
nity. Christmas cookies and the Jacobsburg brew will be served. Did you know that Nazareth will be celebrating its 275th birthday next year? There will be a yearlong celebration that is being planned including many community events. For more info visit the event page on Facebook: www.facebook. com/275thanniversary nazarethpa or the NEDC web-site: www. nazarethnow.org All this column seems to be about is events in wintry weather, ...so let’s talk about the new pool at Nazareth Park! It already looks beautiful and the grand opening is Memorial Day weekend 2015. This project cost the Nazareth Borough 2.3 million dollars. The Nazareth-Bath Chamber of Commerce (www.nazarethchamber.com) launched a fundraiser asking the public to make a monetary donation toward an engraved brick that will be placed in the pool area at Borough Park in Nazareth. Bricks can have the names of families or be in tribute of a loved one. What a wonderful way to support our community and to make a memory. Forms and checks due by March 2015. Tina Smith has been great in forwarding your comments to me. She really is a busy girl, continually working towards supporting the town that she lives in. Please, when you think of all she is doing for the community, write her a note of appreciation.

Moore Twsp. man Killed In Rt. 145 Two-truck crash
A Moore Township man was killed early Wednesday morning, Nov. 19 when a dump truck collided with his pick-up truck on Rt. 145 in Whitehall Township. Victor Banks, 52, of Pheasant Drive, Northampton was pronounced dead at 4:40 a.m., about 35 minutes after the crash at Rt. 145 and Chestnut St. Banks was driving a pickup truck and was coming out of the Chestnut St. intersection near the Sheetz gas station and convenience store, where there is a traffic light, when it was hit by a Horwith Trucking dump
www.HomeNewsPA.com truck from Northampton, which was headed south on Rt. 145. Banks died of blunt force trauma, according to Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim., who ruled it an accident. The dump truck sustained heavy front-end damage, and a flat tire from the impact of the crash. It had smashed into the passenger side of Banks’ pick-up. Rt. 145 was closed for several hours after the accident so the Whitehall Twsp. police accident reconstruction team could conduct their investigation. The supervisor and two officers of the Whitehall Police Department were not available when The Home News attempted to contact them for the name of the dump truck driver. Also not available was the obituary of the deceased victim in the accident.

After a disappointing road trip saw the Lehigh Valley Phantoms slip in the standings, a five-game home stand is just what the doctor ordered. The Phantoms have made the PPL Center a tough place for opponents to play in, as evidenced last week.

The recent points in the standings have the Phantoms sitting in third place in the East Division, two points out of second place behind rival Hershey.

Luckily for the Phantoms, with the score 4-0 late in the game, the penalties didn’t come back to haunt them.
