By ED PANY, Curator, Atlas Cement Company Memorial Museum n this column, I am visiting a very unique community, the Borough of Chapman. William Chapman, a native slater of Cornwall, England, came to

I

America in 1842 and organized the Chapman Slate Company in the community that bears his name. After extensive research, he purchased an area in Northampton County containing prime slate deposits. Thus was born the Chapman Slate Company. The

quarry began operations in 1850.

Mr. Chapman resided in Bethlehem and was a member of the Episcopalian church. He died in 1902. His half-brother Richard came to America in 1862 and, four years later, became superintendent of the Chapman Slate

Company. He resided in a beautiful Chapman Victorian home with gingerbread woodwork.

The home can be seen on Main Street. It is presently owned by Franklin Silfies. The home and Continued on page 2

Talk of warehouses dominates East Allen Township meeting

By KERI LINDENMUTH While one group of East Allen Township residents gathered in the parking lot of the municipal building, another group took their seats inside. The residents outside stood huddled in the

light rain and spoke of the hearing that was taken off the Board of Supervisors’ agenda for the evening of Thursday, October 27.

Those inside the meeting room spoke of the hearing that had concluded at the supervisors’ pre-

vious meeting.

The two groups of residents spoke of two separate legal hearings. However, those hearings, although different, focused on one growing point of concern for many residents of the Lehigh Val-

ley: industrial warehouses.

The Board of Supervisors was supposed to conduct a hearing with regards to the rezoning of property along Weaversville Continued on page 8

The church is adorned with beautiful stained-glass windows. They remember early families who settled there, with names like Radcliff, Roberts, Heard, Jones, Chapman and Lowe. Chapman Mayor Harold “Sonny,” Kocher’s father, also donated an impressive religious mural to the church.

There was a warm and friendly feeling at the church as I met many former students at the service. When the bell tolled, it reminded me of the hardworking slaters who labored in the quarries for over a century.

The Right Choice To the Editor: In my front yard there are two political signs, one Democrat and one Republican. It is time to remember- this is not the United States of Democrat or the United States of Republican- but the United States of America.

Dave Mattei has proven himself to be a worthy candidate to represent the 137th District. Marcia Hahn has already proven herself as Representative of our 138th District. On her record, she has fought only for the betterment of her constituents. She and her extremely competent staff are always there for you. Her ready smile and personality only add to her attributes. She never seeks publicity or praise for her solutions to anyone’s dilemma. Representative Hahn continues to update the public on her voting stance and will continue to do so when re-elected in November. Being a life-long Democrat I am proud to say I am voting for Representative Marcia Hahn.

Submitted by RICHARD PETERSON Please join the Boy Scouts of America-Minsi Trails Council and Northeast Ministries for a press conference as they kick off the 2016 Scouting For Food community food drive. Kathy Craine of WFMZ TV 69 NEWS will host the press conference and is the Scouting for Food chairperson. Kathy will be joined by Scouts from Pack 26 sponsored

by Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of Northampton, PA and Troop 93 sponsored by St. Paul’s UCC of Northampton, PA. For 2016, the local scouts have teamed up with Channel 69, Blue Mountain Ski Resort, The Moritz Embroidery Works, Uline Shipping Supply Specialists and many other area businesses to help collect food for local food pantries, soup kitchens, and food banks.

This year’s goal is to collect more than 200,000 pounds of food for area hungry.

2016 Scouting For Food campaign facts: • Many area food banks are experiencing significant food shortages this year.

• couts will distribute doorhangers on Saturday, November 5, with information on the food drive.

• For residents receiving the door hangers, scouts will then collect food on Saturday morning, November 12.

• Public food donation dropoff boxes are available from October 31 to November 15 at several area businesses, including:

• Wegmans • WFMZ-TV • Ray Price Car Dealerships • Lafayette Ambassador Bank • Minsi Trails Council • Only non-perishable food items are being accepted – nothing fresh or frozen, and no glass jars.

• Nearly 40 percent of food bank donations go to help feed hungry children so the scout food drive is, in large part, about kids feeding kids.

• All local food donations stay in our local communities to help support area food pantries.

About Minsi Trails Council Minsi Trails Council provides leadership and character development programs to nearly 10,000 youth with 4,000 adult volunteers. The council serves young people throughout the Anthracite Region, Pocono Mountains and Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania along with western New Jersey and serves six-counties: Lehigh, Northampton, Monroe, Carbon, Luzerne, and Warren counties. The local scouting heritage dates back more than 107 years when the council’s first scout troops were established in the Allentown and Easton areas.

Nazareth Borough Police Department to hold Food Drive

Via Facebook Members of the Nazareth Borough Police Department are in the process of performing a food drive for families that are in need within the Nazareth Borough and the surrounding areas. All the food that has been collected thus far has been donated by our officers and members from our department. We ask if at all possible, if anyone could visit the following link and look at the list of "needed items" from the Nazareth Area Food Bank: m.nazarethareafoodbank.org.

If even just one item could be donated and dropped off to NBPD before Nov. 11, it will help with the food drive.

It has come to the attention through observation of officers who have served this community over the years that some families rely heavily on Nazareth Area

St. Nicholas Church

Food Bank to feed their family.

In some situations, children will not have any food to eat lunches or breakfast while on Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. Many times local families and law enforcement agencies will not discover this fact until weeks or months after the fact.

By that time a child has now felt what it means to truly have gone to bed hungry, and a parent has now discovered the feeling of emptiness of inability to provide the much needed nutrition to their child. People need help, and the police officers of the Nazareth Borough Police Department shall answer the call. Will you join us and help?

Governor Wolf Historical Society Christmas House Tour

November 3-9, 2016 5

Daransky Home Submitted by BARBARA WIEMANN This beautiful stone home was built in the 1800s and its four plus acres sold in 1862 for $1.

The earliest deed doesn't mention the house or dwelling but does mention a tenement. We believe the original owners initially lived in the basement, since it contains a walk-in fireplace. One of the original deeds is under glass in the kitchen.

As years passed, the house fell into disrepair. The previous owners accomplished a major restoration between 1988 and 1991. The stucco was removed, the stones re-pointed, the roof re-slated, the kitchen gutted and redone, a walk-in fireplace removed to give access to the great-room, and the large barn and smoke-house restored.

There are pictures in each room of the renovations.

This home has been known for its lovely gardens and at one time was called Wiota Gardens.

The previous owners continued gardening and the present homeowner, with his love for gardening, does also.

Take note of the original pine floors and some original door hardware. The huge walk-in fire-

place in the small sitting-room still works and, if you look into it, you will see the wear of many fires. The property still has its original summer kitchen with its walk-in fireplace/meat smoker.

In 2012 when the present homeowners viewed the home, they were not sure if they wanted to move. They had criteria that had to be met - no cupboards on the wall, large work-kitchen, commercial cooking stove, screened in porch and a screendoor that slammed. All the criteria were met and they purchased the property. The entire first floor of this house, the summerkitchen, and the grounds will be open to view.

House tour tickets are $20 if purchased in advance, or $25 on the day of the tour. Tickets will go on sale Nov. 12 at: -Bath Drug, 310 S. Walnut St., Bath.

The Hostess with the Mostess

Last week I was invited to a planning meeting for one of my clients. It started as a meeting and then the woman hosting said, “How about you come for dinner,? My French Boyfriend, (John Louie), will cook.” Of course, I said yes. I arrived, rang the doorbell and was greeted not only with a smile, but also with a hearty welcome and the sweet smell of seafood cooking on the stove.

She invited me into the kitchen where it all was happening.

There were Portabella mushrooms stuffed with goat cheese and artichokes. There were clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops and chorizo sausage boiling in the po,t with the lightly-seasoned garlic bread toasted perfectly. I noticed a pear tart along with Bordeaux cannels on the serving table. After dinner, a beautiful tray of goat cheese, smoked Gouda and Brie was on the table. The dessert was a happy ending to a magnificent meal.

We never talked business until the last half hour. We set the plan in place and off we went.

The Hostess with the Mostess is by far your greatest ally. I would liken this experience to a first time visit to your restaurant, store, printing business, bank or doctor’s office.

1. The hostess was thrilled we were there, and it showed.

2. She provided a welcoming atmosphere.

3. The chef went over and above to please our palates.

4. The conversation was interesting and engaging.

5. The aroma alone made you feel welcome.

6. The evening was filled with laughter.

Just like your business, the list of six ways to make someone feel comfortable might be a little over-the-top, but it’s so true.

When someone walks into your business, do they know you want them there? Is the atmosphere welcoming? Does the person who greets you go over and above to please? Is the conversation interesting? Does your place smell good? Is someone smiling and pleasant?

When welcoming someone into your business, either bring in John Louie to cook, or begin to think about ways your clients or customers will leave with a memorable experience.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Cold and windy, that’s fall. We saw some frost the other day, but not any snow, even though there was a threat of it. Remember the snow we had a few years ago on Halloween? Not yet, please! . . . .Pumpkins are a part of Halloween and Thanksgiving. There’s a field up along 248 that’s filled with what looks like a million of them. Wonder what they do with so many? . . . .Hats off to Dick Knecht for getting a Pa. House of Representatives citation of congratulations after retiring from the Moore Township Police Department. . . . Good to see that there was a big crowd who turned out for the Bath Food Bank spaghetti supper on Sunday in the Lutheran church. . . . Heart Club members played their cards in the Legion bowling alley last week because of all the baskets the Auxiliary had stacked up for the basket social over the weekend. Marty Beal gave them a talk about all the renovations that were made, as they played their games. The alleys look great!!!. . . Love that picture the paper ran last week – members of Bath’s Town Council all riding in a wagon with B-A-T-H spelled out in lights. . . . Talking about lights, I see Mayor Fi has started her sale of luminaria candle kits.

It’s one way we can remember our past relatives. . . . . I wonder what was going on Monday morning and afternoon when the electric went off a couple times in the broad daylight. It was windy.

Maybe that sparked some kinda problem. . . . Looks like the defense wore down some in the fourth-quarter on Sunday when the Eagles lost to the Cowboys in overtime, but it was a great game in which we had 10-point leads. . . .Chicago Cubs won a nail biter of a game that kept the World Series going on Sunday. But I

think Cleveland is gonna take it, and that will sure make folks in Hazleton happy for their favorite son, the Indians’ manager. . . . It’s November already, and the countdown is getting really close for the presidential election. No more political ads on TV. Ya-aa-y!! . . . . Time for my aftenoon snooze. Have a great weekend, and start thinking about what kinda meal you’re gonna make for Thanksgiving, Mom.

CREATIVE CORNER

By KATHLEEN UNGER

I am becoming my Mother When I was a teenager, I would look at my mother and think, “I will not be old-fashioned like her.” Well, you know what they say: never say never.

I am becoming my mother.

Now I wear comfortable shoes/ sneakers. I have switched to elastic waistband jeans and slacks. I look for shirts and jackets that hide my tummy. My favorite jacket is a hooded sweatshirt. My hair is thinning on top just like my mother’s. I get hot-flashes like my mother used to get.

I find I am getting more frugal (like my mother). I find myself saving plastic containers for crafts or maybe not; saving coffee cans because I can’t bear to toss them out. They have so many uses.

I check the obituary page of the newspaper to see if any friends have passed.

All these things are signs of old age creeping up on me and I don’t like it one bit. I wish I were 16 years old again, learning to drive my old 1952 Chevy convertible that Daddy bought me for graduation from high school.

I wish I were still working in Murphy’s five and ten store again

with my girlfriends, or going to Wildwood for a week of sun and fun.

But I am a senior citizen now, I am sure everything I can’t find is in a secure place; I just can’t remember where it is.

I can’t remember names of people I have met in the past.

I can’t remember if I took my meds today or not.

One advantage though is I get senior citizen discounts at some stores.

The years fly by and all of a sudden it has been 60 years since graduating from high school.

Wow, where did the time go?

Clinton faces FBI review Days before election Op-Ed.

By JUSTIN SWEITZER Riding high on favorable poll numbers and strong debate performances, Hillary Clinton was prepared to coast into election day and become the 45th President of the United States. Clinton and her running-mate Tim Kaine had shifted their attention away from Donald Trump, instead directing their energy toward electing down-ballot democrats with hopes that Clinton could make it into the White House with a majority in the Senate and potentially in the House of Representatives.

Clinton was awoken from that dream on Friday, Oct. 28 when FBI Director James Comey revealed to eight congressional

committee chairmen that the bureau had discovered new emails deemed “pertinent” to their previous investigation into Clinton’s private email server.

According to Comey, the emails will be reviewed to determine whether they contain classified information.

“I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review those emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation,” Comey said in a letter to Congress. “The FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant.”

Comey’s statement makes two things clear: At the time Comey’s letter was sent there was no knowledge of whether any clasLicense # PA003267

sified material was in the latest batch of emails, or whether the emails will prove to be of any importance to the investigation.

Comey also noted that there is no current timetable for when the review could be complete.

The emails were obtained in a separate investigation into a sexting scandal with former congressman Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of close Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

Republican nominee Donald Trump has seized the information, using it to batter Clinton with claims of corruption and criminality that have become a centerpiece of his campaign.

The Clinton campaign and other Democrats have taken aim at Comey for the timing of his announcement, which came less than two weeks before election day. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid claimed that the FBI Director “may have broken the law” by violating the Hatch Act. In a letter sent to Comey, Reid said, “The clear double-standard established by your actions strongly suggests that your highly selective approach to publicizing

information, along with your timing, was intended for the success or failure of a partisan candidate of political group.”

Those actions, Reid believes, are in violation of the Hatch Act, an act which all Justice Department employees are bound by.

And while the statiscal website FiveThirtyEight.com still gives Clinton a 75 percent chance to win the presidency, Editor-inChief Nate Silver compiled a few polls in a recent article showing that the margin between the two candidates narrowed slightly following Comey’s announcement.

Clinton still has an edge heading into election day, but she will no longer be able to coast into a victory. Instead, the findings have put the campaign on the defense, proving that Clinton is incapable of avoiding controversy, and that a Clinton administration would likely be unable to avoid the scandals and the scrutiny that Clinton has failed to evade throughout her political career.

Road, adjacent to the site of the future FedEx warehouse.

The township is considering rezoning the land from agricultural use to light industrial business use.

Under the zoning of light industrial business use, not only will office space be permitted, but warehouses may also be permitted as conditional use.

However, the hearing was cancelled at the request of the lawyer involved. Such a cancellation upset many residents. Some ventured inside to have their voices heard despite the canceled hearing.

“These warehouses are destroying the Lehigh Valley one piece at a time,” resident Dan Bernhardt said to township supervisors. “You people have the power to stop it,” he added.

As of October 27, the date of the postponed hearing was unknown.

However, residents are encouraged to check the township’s website for updates.

Also on the agenda for the evening was a discussion with regard

www.HomeNewsPA.com

to the proposed warehouse by VerTek Construction Management.

The conditional use hearing for the proposed 450,000 square foot warehouse at Airport Road and Route 329 concluded on October 12. As a result, residents were not legally allowed to ask questions or voice concerns.

Supervisors came together to draft a list of conditions that VerTek must meet if it wishes to move forward with the project.

“The main condition that I can see,” said supervisor Mark Schwartz, “[is] we need to have on-site staging.”

The staging VerTek currently has outlined (with space for about three trucks) is “not acceptable,” he continued.

Without adequate staging, Schwartz argues that truck traffic would back up and spill onto Airport Road.

“If a truck breaks down,” Schwartz added, “now your staging is totally gone.” Such an issue would be a “nuisance and public safety hazard.”

Supervisors also discussed prohibiting guard shacks or gates at the entrance to the property in an effort to prevent truck traffic from backing up onto Airport Road.

Traffic lights at the site’s exit were also discussed, as was a traffic light at the intersection of Route 329 and Jacksonville Road for increased safety.

“I want it noted that the township did everything it could,” to maintain safety for residents, said Schwartz.

Conditions did not only revolve around safety, however. Supervisors also discussed the environmental impacts increased truck traffic would have.

“I just think with the trail right there and the amount of noise and garbage,” explained supervisor Roger Unangst, a “100-foot berm” would be needed along the property’s entire southern border.

The supervisors have yet to make a decision on the conditional use application. They have 45 days from October 12 to establish conditions and make a vote on whether one more warehouse may make its home in the Lehigh Valley.

NAZARETH AREA NOSEY IN NAZARETH Dear Nazareth, I never experienced the four seasons fully, until I relocated to this area a few years ago. The trees in my yard are beautiful, green with orange and yellow mixed in, and the scarlet of my Burning Bush is lovely. A few of my neighbors see autumn much differently. The dilemma of the falling leaves is upon us. Although my neighborhood has a township service of vacuuming the leaves from the street, there are varied opinions on how to go about this.

I love raking the leaves. On one of our last sunny, warm days, I begin by clearing the garden

and continue over my yard towards the street. Another technique of the neighborhood is the leaf blower. Actually, this neighbor has a little dog and cannot find the “doggie presents” to be picked up until he blows the leaves off the yard. Next door they mulch the leaves. Good for the grass and good compost for the garden. And then there are the property owners that think, just let Mother Nature blow the leaves away naturally. This is a cause of frustrating conversations and complaints between those who are of the different opinion, that the neighbor is lazy and knows their leaves will blow in the other yards.

I still enjoy raking my yard.

Last week I attended a lunch hosted by Kitchen Magic (4243

It is a great way to meet other people in business and promote your services.

Our lunch was catered by Mediterranean Catering (484-7075683) Chef Angelo Napoli. Fresh salad greens, Chicken Marsala, roasted potatoes, and for dessert, Cannoli’s! I heard another guest share that they used this caterer for a large family event and were very pleased. The conversation led to other occasions such as wedding rehearsal meals, weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries.

Our keynote speaker was Gail Hoover from RE/MAX Central (Facebook/ 610-791-4400, Ext.1953). She developed a service called “Empty Nest Home Sales.” Great idea! I could have used her when I was preparing my mom’s house to be sold, but I was in a different state. Gail has a team that goes through a house and cleans out what is unwanted clutter. She also schedules cosmetic work and any upgrades needed to pass codes, satisfy any inspections, and get the property on the market. Gail has been in the industry for the past 30 years and sells all over the Lehigh Valley.

Have you had a chance to stop in a gift shop called Missing Piece (Facebook/462 Bushkill Center Rd.)? You will be amazed how

much there is to see! Brighton Collection jewelry and the popular assortment of beads for bracelets, women’s fashion such as Vera Bradley, Scout, and Brighton. Home and seasonal décor, a beautiful selection of braided rugs, hand-made curtains, to table lamps made in the wood shops of South Carolina. Solid wood furniture made in America.

and just felt I had to confess to you that I found some great gift items already for Christmas shopping. Creative jewelry of all colors, a variety of handbags, and I found a scarf that was the same scarlet color of my Burning Bush.

Stephanie Varone is the owner and she was sharing with me how to create “smokey eyes” using her makeup products.

Have you wondered where the Nazareth’s Pie Shop went to?

They have moved to Main Street.

I did sneak in Christmas in the last paragraph. Have you noticed the holiday events coming up that the Nazareth-Bath Regional Chamber of Commerce supports?

November 26 is “Small Business Saturday in Downtown Nazareth.” For more information go to - www.nazarethchamber.com.

A fun day of many businesses collaborating to offer ideas for Christmas gift giving.

December 1 at 7 p.m. is Nazareth’s Tree Lighting in Center Square, and if you miss that, December 4 is Tatamy’s Tree Lighting. Jacobsburg Historical Society is hosting Christmas at Boulton, a Victorian holiday open-house.

The Moravian Historical Society is planning their annual walking tour and “Christmas in Nazareth” December 10.

Now it’s Stehley’s Bakery & Eatery! (Facebook/113 S. Main St.) I love these destinations that offer a place to meet and eat. A café that the locals enjoy. Wonderful selections on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

From breakfast pasties (also a pastie selection for lunch and dinner), a variety of 6” or 9” sandwiches made with freshly baked roast beef, turkey, roast pork, and additional other menu choices.

Tony Stehley is the owner and he is keeping the lights on in downtown Nazareth by being open Tuesday through Sunday 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. A fun atmosphere with Martin Guitars and Blues Brothers for company, including a stage for live music. (Check Facebook for details), and of course the kiffles, pies, and homemade pierogies.

Right next door is a new shop called Smooch (101 S. Main St.), I had to stop in quick because the shop is so inviting. I talked about this shop last column,

C.F. Martin Guitar has their holiday open house December 8 from 5 until 8 p.m.

While premiums for some plans have increased, financial assistance provided and protected by the Affordable Care Act will increase tax credits for qualifying consumers to ensure that the plans will remain affordable for many.

About 85 percent of Marketplace consumers qualify for tax credits to help make coverage more affordable. According to an HHS analysis, about eight out of ten returning consumers will be able to buy a plan with premiums of less than $100 a month after tax credits and about seven out of ten will have a plan available for less than $75 a month.

For 2016 Marketplace consumers, switching plans in 2017 can save significant amounts on their premiums. With several plans exiting the Health Insurance Marketplace, including Aetna Health Inc. and United Healthcare, eight

insurers remain in Pennsylvania offering an average of five plans each. While some networks have narrowed, many are offering enhanced benefits such as wellness programs and telehealth services to counteract increases in deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. All consumers re-enrolling in coverage are encouraged to review and update their income and demographic information on their Marketplace application.

Healthcare.gov, the US Department of Health and Human Services Official Health Insurance Marketplace website, launched its window shopping tool ahead of the start of open enrollment to allow consumers to preview plans, networks and estimated premiums. If consumers choose not to buy health insurance for 2017, they will pay a fee called the Individual Shared Responsibility Payment. The fee will be calculated when consumers file their federal tax returns for the year in which they didn’t have coverage. In some cases, consumers may qualify for a health coverage exemption from the requirement to have insurance. The fee

for 2017 has not yet been published.

The Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers and its statewide membership of community-based healthcare organizations provide free, personal, no pressure, no obligation, and enrollment assistance to individuals seeking the security of health insurance coverage. Federally certified health center-based enrollment assisters—certified application counselors and navigators—are trained and ready to help individuals to navigate the enrollment process, including plan options and cost.

During the last open enrollment period, PACHC and its statewide membership of community-based healthcare organizations provided assistance to more than 10,000 individuals seeking the security of health insurance coverage.

Individuals seeking primary care or information on enrollment assistance can locate a local community health center using the Community Health Center PA Directory on the PACHC website at http://www.pachc.org/ health_find.html or by calling the PACHC toll-free hotline, 1-866944-CARE (1-866-944-2273).

Conscience and Conviction

"Conscience," said a Native American, "is a three-cornered thing in my heart that stands still when I am good, but when I am bad, it turns around and the corners hurt a lot. If I keep on doing wrong, the corners wear off and it does not hurt anymore!" God created conscience within our spirit. The Holy Spirit affects our conscience to bring conviction of sin.

Conviction is the act of convincing or compelling one to admit the truth of a charge. It is the state of being sensible of guilt and was experienced after the first sin, "And they heard the voice of the LORD God...and Adam and his wife hid themselves...And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid" (Genesis 3:8-10). David felt it, "For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden...my sin is ever before me" (Psalms 38:4; 51:3). The scribes and Pharisees felt it when Jesus said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone...And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one" (John 8:3-11). Felix felt it, "And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled" (Acts 24:25). Peter felt it, "and wept bitterly" (Matthew 26:75).

When people can sin without feeling remorse, they are living in a dreadful state! "Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness" (Ephesians 4:19). Those who continue in sin and reject Holy Spirit conviction may tragically find themselves no longer convicted. God warns, "My spirit shall not always strive with man" (Genesis 6:3). This is why the worst sinners sometimes feel the least sinful! They have "their conscience seared" (1 Timothy 4:2).

If you are being convicted of sin, respond in full repentance to God. Luther said, "The recognition of sin is the beginning of salvation." Believe Jesus took your sin upon Himself at the cross. Accept God's forgiveness.

But, make sure your repentance is total! Don't be like the man who wrote the IRS stating: "I can't sleep; my conscience is bothering me. Enclosed find a check for $50. If I still can't sleep, I'll send you the balance!"

Jeanne A. Bill

Jeanne A. Bill, 91, of Palmer Township, died on Sunday, October 30, 2016. She was the wife of the late John Caleb Bill, who died in 1984 after 32 years of marriage. Together they raised five children.

She was born in 1925 in Waterbury, Connecticut, the daughter of the late Hector and Ann (Withey) Auray.

Jeanne was raised to be fiercely

independent and lived her life to the fullest. At her core was her devout Catholic faith. Jeanne graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1946 with a B.S. in chemistry. After 12 years as a stay-at-home mom, her husband became permanently disabled.

She returned to the work force and had a successful 30-year career with Becton Dickinson Immunodiagnostics She started with he company as a bench chemist and when she retired in 1992, held the position of Head of Regulatory Affairs.

She was a Renaissance woman, skillful in her many hobbies, which included painting, piano and organ, singing on many choirs, sewing, leather-working, canning and preserving, quilting, knitting, playing golf, fishing, gardening, building rock walls, playing bridge, solving crossword and cryptogram puzzles, and target shooting. With her parents and beloved brother Bob, the family built an island cabin on Otis Lake in southern Massachusetts in the mid-1930’s. All the materials for this project she and Bob rowed to the island using the family rowboat. At Otis began a lifelong love for wild blueberries…!

One of Jeanne’s most precious memories was her experience singing with the Rockland County Catholic Choir. The choir traveled to Europe in the late 1990’s, when they sang for Pope Paul II in Assisi, Italy. She was known by all for her strength and politeness, and will always be cherished by her family for her unconditional support and steady, patient advice – ‘’do the best you can, and don’t hurt yourself!” As the children grew and started their own families, she taught them that Christmas was not on Dec. 25th, but on the day when all the family was together. She would sacrifice the 25th to our married families and traditions, so long as we all got together on some other date. This was our 30+ year tradition that was never broken.

Jeanne raised her children to be as independent as she was, and as the sole caregiver for her kids, was so very proud that they all attended college and went on

November 3-9, 2016 13

to successful careers in their chosen fields. The lessons she taught were usually communicated by setting a good example in her loving, resilient and strong way she raised her family. Ma was always available to help her kids with school projects, take on the role of Cub Scout Den Mother, and teach them how to drive a stick shift, or bait a fishing rod. The most important thing, always, was her family and she cherished the time they spent together. In her later years, she enjoyed watching the joyful and lively interaction of her kids, their spouses and grand-kids.

She is survived by her five children and their families, including Michael of Turnersville N.J.; Martha Cruet of Monroe, N.Y., Andy of Nazareth, Carol Ronovech of Cherry Valley, N.Y., and Besty O’Mara of Geneseo, N.Y; five grandchildren; five nieces, and one nephew.

Jeanne was predeceased in 2011 by her brother, Robert Auray, of San Antonio, Texas.

Services were held this (Thursday) morning in the Bartholomew Funeral Home, 243 S. Walnut St., Bath, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial in Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, 210 E. Northampton St., Bath. Call Thursday from 9-10 a.m. in the funeral home.

Keep Seniors With Alzheimer’s Safe From Wandering

HELP at the Push of A Button Contact Frank DeRosa at: 484-515-4683 (Mobile) Toll Free: 866-794-9003 Email: Frank@GOMYI.com www.MedAlertServices.com ** www.gomyi.com**

(NAPSI)—One of the most frightening scenarios for families caring for seniors living with Alzheimer’s is a loved one wandering or getting lost. It can understandably cause immediate panic and concern and, unfortunately, happens all too often. In fact, nearly 50 percent of surveyed family members have experienced a loved one with Alzheimer’s wandering or getting lost, according to a new survey conducted by Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care franchise network.

Anyone living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia is at risk for wandering and it can happen at any time. If not found within 24 hours, up

to half of these missing persons may be at risk for injury or death, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

To help prevent this, it is critical for families to understand the common triggers for wandering and steps they can take to discourage loved ones from doing so.

“Wandering can be a huge challenge and major concern for families living with a loved one with Alzheimer’s,” said Monica Moreno, director of Early-Stage Initiatives at the Alzheimer’s Association. “It’s best to be proactive in addressing the issue before it becomes a crisis.”

• Delusions or hallucinations. Those living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia may misinterpret sights or sounds, causing them to feel fearful and wander to escape their environment.

• Overstimulation. Individuals living with dementia can become easily upset in noisy or crowded environments, triggering them to look for an escape from the chaos.

• Fatigue, especially during late afternoons and evenings. People living with dementia may become tired, potentially causing restless pacing and, eventually, wandering.

• Disorientation as to place and time. Individuals may not recognize that they are already home and seek to return to a familiar place, such as a former workplace.

• Change in routine. Those living with dementia may become confused following a change of routine, wandering in an effort to return to a familiar place.
