2015 Bath Boro Nazareth Blaze Destroys Budget $1.9 Million; Pizza Joe’s Italian Restaurant Taxes Remain Same By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Bath Borough’s preliminary operating budget was approved for advertisement in The Home News on Monday night. It totals $1,961,615.53. Council president Robert Fields said there will be no increase in taxes. The budget will be available for inspection for a period of 10 days. Adoption of the budget will come at the December meeting of Borough Council. Also to be advertised is an ordinance that establishes where and when snow emergencies will be declared this winter. Council vice president Mark Saginario was concerned that people know the conditions that apply to snow emergencies so there is full cooperation from the residents. Another ordinance on cell towers will be reviewed by the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission and Bath Planning Commission before any action is taken by Council to add the amendment to the zoning ordinance. Other Matters • A representative from the Bath Farmers Market had a report for Council. She noted that 493 people like the market on Facebook, 41% of them women between 25 and 44 years old. Revenue increased this year with new products shown by some of the 70 vendors, and the special events that attracted people. $10,904 was netted and they expect another $2,500 to come in. There were $10,739 in expenses for ads, entertainment, etc. $250 will go to the borough. Her comment: “One of the great things about the farmers market is that it keeps local dollars local.”
• An attorney representing Joe Tavianini voiced concern about “wrongful use” of photos that were part of an investigation. He said that providing the photos by a Council person to promote an ordinance was “totally inappropriate” and felt that the Council person should resign. The person was not identified publicly. • Three approvals were given: On the revised Pa. Intergovernmental Risk Management contract; designating the Dr. Estelle Stein property at 116 S. Walnut St. as a qualified commercial establishment, allowing her to hire her own waste hauler; and providing a letter on the realignment of Rt. 248 (W. Northampton St.) for PennDOT. An engineering agreement was approved by PennDOT. • The borough will pay Barker & Barker Paving $151,974 toward the Creek Rd./Century Dr. reconstruction contract, subject to rectifying an issue the borough had with the contractor. • Council approved seeing a recycling performance grant under Act 101 with Hough Associates of Montgomery County, who would get 50% of what the grant amount is. • It was agreed that the fee for health license inspections should remain at $25. • Mayor Fiorella Mirabito thanked members of Council who participated in Turning Bath Pink, except for president Fields. The two, who are neighbors, got in a spat at the meeting. . . .Mayor Mirabito announced that Oct. 10 and 11, 2015 will again be designated for cancer awareness. Continued on page 2

A fire that was reported around 10:30 a.m. on October 29 destroyed a well-known Nazareth pizza restaurant and injured two firefighters when it flashed over and knocked them down a flight of stairs. Jerry Bubba, who reportedly vows to rebuild, owns the landmark restaurant. The fire spread quickly after igniting in an exhaust fan in
Pizza Joe’s Italian Restaurant at 550 S. Main Street. As of 12:15 p.m., the fire appeared to be under control, but firefighters were still applying water to hot spots on the roof and upper floors. Vigilance Hose Co. No. 1 from Nazareth was on scene along with multiple companies from neighboring communities. An Upper Nazareth resident, Ben Miller, set up a Facebook page (Support the Nazareth Fire Victims) to help

(Luminaria kits are available at the municipal building for $10.) • Councilwoman Jennifer George felt it was a good idea by Boro Manager Tom Petrucci to sell the municipal building to an investor for $200,000 and then lease it back to the borough because of the high costs for energy and rehabbing.

win solution. There was some debate after that. She also asked Petruccci , “Do you see we can accomplish (renovation of the present building or building another) without raising taxes?” The answer, “No.” Fields suggested a January workshop to discuss any proposals that are offered. Saginario went further, have monthly workshops. Petrucci then suggested workshops on the third Wednesday each month. Councilman Mike Reph had a different interpretation of an e-mail than Mrs. George, and that sparked debate between them. • 224 W. Main St. has been an issue for months, even years, and it came up again on Monday. An offer will be made on the property before the borough goes to DCNR for a recreational grant. Petrucci listed some benefits to whatever action Council takes. • As noted in the special meeting last week, Bath’s share of the Colonial Regional Police 2015 budget is significantly less. Fields also reported that Officer Anthony Kovalovsky (former chief of the Bath Police Dept.) is retiring in March 2015.

Better yet, let us give thanks everyday to those who so bravely served and are serving in our nation’s military to make us safe.

Security was also reduced to $17,672.50 for the rest of the maintenance. Approval was given for release from maintenance at Concordia Lutheran Church, located along Rt. 248.

tell you that their sugar laden, bleached white grain “Frankenfood” is a good decision. From my view, the only benefit of what is portrayed as healthy food is the healthy bank account and increase in the company’s stock that sells the garbage to the masses. If you take a look around, the cases of disease and disorders are skyrocketing. Diabetes is leading the pack and thyroid dysfunction runs a close second. Just using common sense we can see that something is wrong. I do not perceive we need to increase the consumption of prescription drugs, but this is exactly what I am seeing daily and I believe it is due to the lifestyle chosen generally and consumption of fake, cardboard-like food we eat daily. Candidly, I don’t see any good ending to this situation on a mass scale. On an individual (and at best couples) basis, lives are being changed, yet it takes education, desire and con-

sistency. How can positive change occur when “wellness” visits to the doctor are a vaccination and a pill? With just a handful of exceptions I know of, there is no clear discussion of the nuts and bolts of targeted functional nutrition to sustain vigor and vitality.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Now That’s Mature
By CAROL RITTER
Maturity is defined as the state or quality of being fully grown or developed. My curious personality always wondered why some of us mature and some will never mature. A friend of mine told me recently that he works with a woman who literally throws a fit and, even more, pitches whatever is in her hand when things don’t go her way. Now that’s mature. Then I remembered working with Steve years ago who was unable to
play nice in the team sandbox. He always came to the table thinking about getting his own way rather than the greater good. The team all took turns with kitchen duty. One of the girls honestly was a slob. She would leave spaghetti in the bowl in the sink for days. Her duty began on Monday and the spaghetti hit the garbage, if we were lucky, by Friday. One day Steve had had enough. He stormed into the kitchen, picked up the bowl of spaghetti, filled the bowl with water, dumped ash trays of cigarettes in it and slammed it on to Jackie’s desk. Now that’s mature! On another note, if a customer had come into the office they would have seen and smelled this pathetic mess. What would they have thought? How can you identify immaturity and at the same

time, look for solutions? I think we first have to look at why some people never mature. According to Dr. Lawrence Wilson, we all begin life with flaws and immaturity. We all can get better or worse depending on how we were raised, our home environment, the friends we have, the books we read, the trauma we experienced, illness and our relationships. Character development is a process, but if you choose to allow the afore mentioned behavior it will continue.
SOLUTIONS....
1. Identify immaturity, address immaturity, and don’t allow it in your biz. 2. Self love is required in order to mature, someone who is always putting themselves and others down could be a problem. 3. Create an atmosphere of service in your biz. They won’t fit in. 4. Set the standards, the only reason people demonstrate immature behavior is because someone else allows it. 5. I’m a big believer in continuing education. If you have an issue with immaturity, find a speaker or trainer who can teach proper workplace behavior. Another solution is to be aware of immaturity when hiring. Many times you can identify symptoms in an interview with the right questions. The end of the story is when the woman I mentioned earlier returned from her lunch hour and saw the mess she began to scream and ran to tell Steve off. Again, now that’s mature! They didn’t speak for weeks. Carol S.

First Buck
By HOBBY
Son of Writer, WCO Kevin Halbfoerster, Nominee for Award
This writer has always been proud of all of our children and the achievements they have made in life. The latest came in mid-October, when our son, Wildlife Conservation Officer Kevin Halbfoerster, was nominated for the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Shikar-Safari Officer of the Year award. In a personal letter to Kevin, who serves as WCO in Lehigh County, PGC Executive Director R. Matthew Hough said: “Your nomination received from your Regional Director, gives me testimony to the professionalism and dedication you demonstrate in the daily performance of your duties. Through your actions, you have earned the respect and admiration of your fellow

Area Boy Scouts hold Scouting For Food Community Food Drive
Submitted by LORI WEHR
Boy Scouts and volunteers from the local Minsi Trails Boy Scout Council will be out Saturday, November 8 collecting non-perishable food for the annual Scouting For Food community food drive. Door hangers will be delivered throughout many area neighborhoods this Saturday letting residents know about the food drive. For residents who did not get a door hanger, food may be dropped off at any participating area Wegmans food stores, WFMZ-TV, Lafayette Ambassador Bank branch, local Wegman’s, Walmart and Ray Price Car Dealerships. This is one of the area’s largest single-day food drives. Last year Scouting For Food brought in nearly 200,000 pounds of food for local food banks. That’s enough food to feed over 10,000 people for a
week. 2014 is the Scout’s 28th year conducting the annual food drive, with over three million pounds of food being distributed to local food banks during this period. “There is no better example of community service than the Boy Scouts, Scouting for Food Good Turn. Local food pantries struggle to provide the support
required by those in need… especially during the holiday season.” This is the largest of many major service projects that the Boy Scouts conduct each year. Nearly, 4,000 local Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and volunteers typically participate in the food drive along with many area businesses.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip We got another taste of winter over the weekend as temperatures fell down to the 40’s. No rain like they had down in the Philly and New Jersey areas, but we had the biting cold with heavy winds up to 40 miles an hour. That’s just a hint of what’s to come. I’m not ready for it and probably never will be. Winter’s only for the young’uns who can enjoy skiing, snow boarding, and ice skating. I’m sure glad we didn’t get snow like up in Maine and Massachusetts and down in North Carolina and Tennesee. One thing about the winds we had. It took care of most of the leaves that were still on trees. Now it’s pick up time. . . As I’m penning this, the election is a day later, so I don’t have any results. But I’m glad it’s over, and best of luck to the winners. It was a dog fight in many places, not so
much around here, but down in Philly and I guess over in Jersey they were ripping each other apart in TV ads. . . . .We missed out on letting people know about Standard Time last week, but it got around, and I think most everybody knew enough to turn their clocks back an hour. I woke up just before 2:00 a.m., thinking I’d see my digital clock automatically turn to an hour earlier, but it didn’t happen. Fell asleep again and woke up later with the clock reading 2:30, so it musta made the switch around 3:00 a.m. We weren’t an hour early for church, thank goodness! . . . . “Chow” Silfies must still be ailing. Tom Zeitner is filling in for him as score keeper at the hearts card games in the Legion, I hear. Rumors have it that he’s turning 90 soon. Get well soon,“Chow!” Oh, by the way, I hear that “Chick” Lib-

Our goal is to showcase all that Bath and its surrounding areas have to offer. 5,000 brochures will be printed and distributed to all local businesses and public places. All the artwork for the brochure has been donated and the BBCP will donate their time to put the brochure together. Printing will be done locally. This will be updated and republished every year and your cost will be for printing and paper – only $35. Churches, museums, non-profits are FREE. For your business description to be included in the brochure, we must receive your information form by Nov 15, 2014.

erto, who is also a part of that hearts gang, is getting paid $3.00 by wife Florence each time he does the dishes at home. That figures to be pretty much for the day, month and year. Now Florence is paying “Chick” for the Wonder Word puzzle found on the comic pages of a city newspaper. Anyhow, it’s worth it to have him around as he gets past his recent illnesses. . . . The future Dunkin Donuts building behind Wells Fargo Bank is coming along. Looks like it’s made of steel and concrete. . . . We don’t have to cross the river for cheaper gas. Regular is $2.95 a gallon at the Pennsville Market and $2.98 at the Cherryville Turkey Hill. . . . Philly Eagles beat the Texans on Sunday, unfortunately suffering two key injuries in quarterback Nick Foles and defensive player DeMeco Ryans. But a city paper that seems to lean toward New Jersey and New York most of the time, ate it up when they could brag about Mark Sanchez, who usta play with the Jets. . . .We must be getting near Christmas when the historical society starts publicizing their house tour. I even saw some Christmas yard decorations on a lawn up in Moore Township this week. And the mall stores have their Christmas things on sale. Reckon that’s the way it is in November. Me, I’m just ready for that Thanksgiving feast. See ya!

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Bath Council has special Session to work on budget
edWolf-1 Bath Borough Council had By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
a special meeting on Tuesday, October 28, and after going over much of the 2015 preliminary budget, Borough Manager Tom Petrucci said they were $4,800 in the negative. However, he added that adjustments would be made, cutting a few dollars here and there, to make up the difference and come up with a balanced budget. These were the major items discussed that night: • Bath’s share of the Colonial Regional Police Department budget is $11,055.92 less than in 2014. • Under equipment for Public Works – One of the borough’s snow blowers is 13 years old. Councilman Mark Saginario suggested it would be a good idea to get another for better snow clearance; a check would be made with the Bath Boro Authority on purchase of a loader; a cover will be needed for the dump truck when hauling small stones. It was noted that the Authority
personnel can help with snow clearance. PennDOT only clears two lanes, not curb to curb. • $72,890 in expected income was removed from the budget when Petrucci noted that the Borough is not getting a grant for traffic control devices. However, it was an in and out item. • The borough engineer will map out storm sewers with a survey map at a cost of $14,500. • $200,000 would be borrowed over a 5-year period for road repairs. • $300 allocated for the Bath Museum. • $17,500 for parks. The borough is not getting a grant for disc golf. Councilwoman Jennifer George said she thinks Council is not going in the direction of parks beautification, and this money will need to come from businesses. She admitted that the public works crew has other priorities that are more important. Mrs. George suggested hiring high school students to work three days a week in the sum-

VETERANS DAY 2014 IN MEMORY AND HONOR… During the past year, we have had the privilege of serving the families of Veterans. We are honored to be of service to them in their time of need, just as their loved one was there in our time of need. On Veteran’s Day, we pay tribute to those who served our country in the name of Freedom, the same Freedom that allows us to serve them. Our prayers are with all the Veterans, their families, and with the brave men and women serving our country today. We also wish to thank those from our area’s veteran service groups who volunteer their time in honor guards and firing squads bestowing the greatest honor for their deceased comrades.

0-0 start, they have lost their last three games including a 4-2 loss Saturday night to Hartford in their most recent outing and have a four-game road trip up next. “The season is still young. There’s no need to really

hit the panic button, I don’t think, but there’s a lot of things we’ve got to sort out,” forward Andrew Gordon said, mentioning that there needs to be more effort for a full 60 minutes. The Phantoms enter a crucial stretch early in the 201415 season as they head on their first extended road trip of the season, looking to turn things around. They’ll play four straight road games starting Wednesday night, November 5th, in Worcester, Mass. and finishing next Friday night, November 14th, in Wilkes-Barre. against the Penguins. “A road trip can be good because you go into a trip and if you come out winning three out of four, you can feel good about that road trip,” Gordon said. “You can come back feeling like things are a little bit different.” “It can work the other way too,” Gordon added. “If you go, show up and lose every game on the road trip, you come home feeling pretty dejected. We have to come together a little bit, have a couple days of practice and be ready for a tough road trip.” Between the injuries in Philadelphia to defensemen Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald, and in Lehigh Valley to defense-
men Mark Alt and Steven Delisle, the blue line depth
is certainly being tested. The Phantoms saw rookie blue liner Shayne Gostisbehere called up, only to have him returned at the end of the weekend after the Flyers called up defenseman Brandon Manning from the Phantoms and signed free agent Carlo Colaiacovo to play in the NHL with the Flyers. The result of the moving parts left the Phantoms with only five healthy defensemen after Delisle injured himself during the team’s game day skate last Saturday morning. Unable to recall a defenseman so close to game-time, they played one short on the bench. “We have built-in excuses, but that’s for cowards,” Gordon said about injuries and call ups short-handing them. “This is the AHL, this happens. Guys get called up, sent down, traded, moved, you’ve got a new team every year. It’s tough to find consistency in the lineup, but you have to get the job done. Find a way.”

Rising Costs Force a Proposed Tax Hike in Nazareth’s 2015 Budget Proposal By DAVE SICA
At the workshop held on October 30, rising healthcare costs were a topic of discussion for much of the meeting. These costs, along with a street project and a pool renovation project, could see a 15 percent tax increase in the proposed 2015 budget. On Monday night, the $5 million budget was approved in a 6 -3 vote. Councilman Mike Kopach, Councilman Lance Colondo and Councilman Frank Maurek all voted no on the budget. The final vote is expected to be held on December 1. Last week at the regular workshop meeting, Becky Butz, a resident who regularly voices concerns to council, wanted council to address the rising healthcare costs. Council explained that rising costs and difficulty in controlling them could be partially attributed to the Affordable Care Act. At an earlier meeting it was said that healthcare costs were going up over 40 percent for the borough. An arbitrator was assigned from 2013 to 2015, but, according to council, couldn’t get the other side to budge on having employees cover a portion of the cost. The current plan offers six members of the police department and nine public works employees full
coverage. The family coverage plan costs $20,619 annually per employee, an individual plan costs $7,116 annually per employee, and a husband and wife coverage plan costs $15,998 annually per employee. Council President Dan Chiavaroli said that healthcare is a fixed cost, and went on to explain that the costs associated with legal fees and arbitrator fees fall on the taxpayer. Treasurer Paul Kokolus expressed distaste for the new healthcare law, mentioning that the first $5,000 is out of pocket. “No one would normally agree with that,” he said. Yearly obligations are over $181,000 according to Kokolus. He said that other options were looked at, but they are currently locked in by contract. Other Business • Councilman Mike Kopach discussed the estimate for a plow that needed repair. The estimated cost is $1,500 to $2,400. • J.P. Mascaro was the low bid for the waste disposal contract, breaking the 18-year streak Waste Management had in the borough. • Phase one of the security systems for the borough is complete, with phase two nearing completion this week. Phase three would include
security cameras in Borough Park, including four cameras at the new pool house. • Councilman Brian Regn would like a motion to consider raising the parking meter costs by .15 cents, which would bring the hourly rate to .25 cents. Regn feels like this will help alleviate some of the taxpayer burden, but Councilman Larry Stoudt feels like it may hurt local businesses.

News Sermonette The Rev. Lamar Handwerk Pastor, St. Peter’s U.C.C.
Holding on to the Past “...as far as the east is from the west, so far has He (God) removed our transgressions from us.” -Psalms 103:12 (NIV) Are you holding on to your past? Refusing to let go of something you’ve done either to yourself, to a friend, to a loved one, or maybe even to a complete stranger? Do you feel guilty and remorseful? Do you wonder what you can do to correct the situation? Are you tired of living daily with the thought of what you have done and are searching for something, anything to make the unwanted memory go away? You cannot imagine going through life free from your past, free from the life you were once living or, perhaps, are living right now. Instead, you search for the next high that, in reality, is masking your pain and destroying your life with a tip of the glass that just doesn’t hold the power that it used to. The real question is, are you ready to accept the forgiveness waiting for you? The answer is Jesus. On the cross, Jesus Christ paid for every sin you ever committed. He bore your transgressions and your iniquities. He stood in your place and took the punishment for you to give you life. “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins... (and) God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ” (Ephesians 2:1,4b,5a). You can live again through Christ, and I mean truly live with joy and complete peace! I love how Psalms 103:12 talks about just how far we can be separated from our past: “...as far as the east is from the west, so far has He (God) removed our transgressions from us.”When Christ went to the cross, He made it possible for your sins to be so far removed from you that they could never haunt you again. Today, stop holding on to your past. Turn your past over to God, ask His forgiveness, and then forget about it! That’s exactly what He is going to do! Prayer: Heavenly Father, wow, what an awesome, incredible gift You gave to us in Your Son, Jesus Christ! Today I confess my sin to You - not just some of them, but all of them. Please, wash me white as snow. Remove from me the memories that haunt me, and replace them with a peace beyond all understanding. Your peace! Become the Lord of my life today. I love You Jesus, my Savior, and my Lord. Amen.

Jesus Visited Hermann In Prison
In his inspiring autobiography, Living A Life of Fire, Reinhard Bonnke, the German evangelist whom God has used to win 75 million Africans to Jesus Christ in the past 25 years, tells how Jesus appeared to his father, Hermann, in a British prisoner-of-war camp near Kiel, Germany. Hermann had been an officer in the Reichswehr, but had never joined the Nazi Party. Hitler’s extermination of Jews appalled him. As a Pentecostal believer, he had regarded the Jews as the chosen people through whom God had revealed the Messiah, the Savior of all mankind. Hermann had been in this prison camp for 279 days. He longed for and prayed for his wife, Meta, and his six children. He had repeatedly inquired of their safety from the Red Cross but learned nothing. Recalling Isaiah 53:6, “the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all” tears ebbed from Hermann’s eyes as his heart reached out to God in prayer. “My heavenly Father, I am Yours for the remaining years of my life. It is my heart’s desire to preach Your gospel and to serve You alone, until the day I see You face to face.” He heard a door open and close. Someone began walking across the floor. Was it a British guard? He stood to face him, and to his utter shock it was a man in white, wearing a seamless robe and Middle Eastern sandals. He was smiling as He moved toward him, hands extended as if to embrace him. Hermann reached out and saw a wound in His hand. “Hermann, I am so glad you are coming,” the Master said, then vanished! Hermann fell to his knees and wept. His soul overflowed with “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding” (Philippians 4:7). Until this moment it had seemed inconceivable that an imprisoned soldier of the Third Reich could receive the smile of the Lamb of God and that the Savior would express His pleasure at his desire to serve Him as a minister of the gospel. This encounter burned in his heart until the day he died.

Ten Signs Your Parents Might Need Assistance
Trust Your Instincts If you are concerned that your loved one may be struggling unnecessarily, it is better to be proactive and help them ease into a transition smoothly before it becomes a crisis. The following is a list of indicators to help family members and friends quickly assess a loved one's condition, identify potential areas of concern and make important caregiving decisions: 1. Medical Condition: A recently diagnosed disease, illness or injury could affect your loved ones' ability to function on a daily basis. 2. Driving: If your loved one's vision, hearing and/ or reflexes are impaired, this may increase their risk for being involved in a car accident. 3. Food/Nutrition: Take note of your loved one's diet to ensure that they are eating well-balanced meals and maintaining a steady weight. Is the food in the refrigerator within its expiration date? 4. Hygiene: Take note of your loved one's overall appearance, smell and ability to wear suitable clothing for the weather. Are the bed linens, bath towels and laundry clean? 5. Behavior: Is your loved one anxious, irritable or depressed? Do they have difficulty remembering names, places and current events? 6. Daily Tasks: Are basic tasks, such as going grocery shopping and preparing meals, becoming overly challenging or time
consuming? 7. Medication: Is your loved one able to manage his or her medications properly, including dosage, frequency and changes to prescriptions? Are prescriptions being filled in a timely manner? 8. Finances: Is your loved one able to manage their own personal finances, pay bills and balance the checkbook? 9. Mail: Is the mail stacking up? Do you see past due or delinquency notices? 10. Safety: Does your loved one remember to turn off appliances and extinguish candles or cigarettes? Does he or she keep the doors and windows locked? If you have concerns, even with one issue, it may be time to take a more proactive role in your loved one's life. Trust your instincts. Know your options. There are some
simple things that can be done to ensure that people can remain safely at home. We would be happy to help you understand these issues further, and provide you with some help for your loved one.

Funds Raised through “Field of Pink”
Submitted by KRISTY MUENZ In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Traditions of Hanover Independent Living teamed up with Hanover Township to support awareness and raise money
for the Pink Ribbon Fund at Lehigh Valley Hospital Network. Throughout October, thanks to many donations, Traditions of Hanover and Hanover Township were able to raise $1,237 through the “Field of Pink” project, with
proceeds benefiting the Pink Ribbon Fund. Field of Pink is a Breast Cancer Awareness project created to raise money for the Pink Ribbon Fund at Lehigh Valley Hospital Network, which helps men
and women financially during treatments as a result of breast cancer. The project is named “Field of Pink” because bright pink flags were purchased in support of loved ones and then planted in a field in Hanover Town-
ship, turning it pink. Every flag sponsorship was donated to the Pink Ribbon Fund. The flag planting took place on Sunday, Oct. 5 in Hanover Township. Prior to planting, there was a 5K walk benefiting The Chemo Bag, a 501c3, township-based, non-profit organization that creates bags of comfort for chemo patients throughout the area. Thanks to walkers and t-shirt purchases, The Chemo Bag was able to raise $478. “As part of the Hanover Township community, the Traditions of Hanover team is proud to be able to show our support for the residents who have fought cancer and the loved ones we have lost. It was heartwarming to see our residents purchase flags in support of their friends and loved ones,” said Cathy Heimsoth, executive director. “As a breast cancer survivor, I value the many aspects of this event. While creating awareness in the community and showing support to the women and men fighting, the field also raises funds for the Pink Ribbon Fund to bring comfort to those who struggle during treatment. These kinds of events build unity in families, neighbors and communities.” For more information about the Field of Pink project, please visit the Field of Pink Facebook page, at www. facebook.com/FieldOfPink.
