The owner of International TV showed a printed “Open” sign that Council welcomed. Mrs. Roberts said a year ago Council decided to enforce existing ordinances and beautify the borough. Councilman John Kearns said under the old ordinance of 1978 they wouldn’t have been allowed a sign, and there are now signs hanging “every which way.” He said Council debated a lot before they came up with the new amendments to the ordinance. “I don’t think you’d like not having an ordinance and letting people do anything they want to do,” Kearns said.

Historic Bath farm celebrates the fall season By Danielle Tepper The Home News

Each autumn, families flock to local pumpkin patches to indulge in some quality time with each other in the timeless tradition that is picking out the biggest, smoothest, roundest (and cleanest!) jacko’-lanterns to-be. The folks at Seiple Farms in Bath understand that this family time is precious as they themselves are a family business, right down to the very roots of their family tree. The farm was established in 1889 and is currently run by Daniel Seiple and his daughter, Andrea Delong. They’ve

been hard at work since they opened for pumpkin picking just over a week ago, September 28. Seiple Farms moved to Bath when Stone Quarry bought their property in Whitehall in 1889. “The family was forced out,” said Seiple. Seiple is fourth generation and Delong is fifth. Seiple himself is actually unsure of who specifically started it all those years ago. “It’s too far back,” he said. “I would like to go back sometime and map it out. I have the original deed somewhere.” The relocation turned out to be a blessing in disguise

for the famliy as the business was able to grow and flourish at its new home in Bath. The main farm consists of over 200 acres. “Back then, we had chickens for harvesting eggs and around 65 acres of potatoes,” said Seiple. “The last year we had them was 1987.” They grew sweet corn in the fields, along with a cornuco-

pia of other crops. “You name it, we grew it,” said Seiple. “Cantaloupe, watermelon, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, lima beans, string beans.” Seiple’s brother David was the one who came up with the idea for a pick-your-own operation. They started doing strawberries in 1981, which used to take up 10 acres and

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Allen Township Supervisors BBCP active in farmers Debate how to number homes Market and coming duck race

homenewspa.com

Allen Township’s Board of Supervisors have had requests from the local fire company and ambulance unit to have houses in the township numbered so they can find the location during emergencies. The fire chief said he’s not concerned with the color of the signs, but in a high density area home owners need to have some kind of reflective sign, as large as they wish, so long as the numbers are easily seen from the roadway. While the Uniform Construction Code calls for numbers four inches high, they should either be three or four inches. As the debate went on Thursday night, it was noted that on Howertown Rd.

the majority of House colleagues in moving House Bill 1437, the general appropriations portion of the 2013-14 state budget. The legislation contains no new taxes and spends $28.376 billion, a modest 2.3 percent increase over last year, which is within the rate of inflation. For the third consecutive year, Pennsylvania’s spending plan for the fiscal year ahead has been delivered on time using no new taxes. This budget forces state government to live within its means, just as you do with your own personal budget, while spending only what it has and not taking on new debt. The pending loss of $220 million due to federal government cuts to education, health and welfare programs makes avoiding the need to raise taxes especially important. With existing revenues, we supported essential services in the Commonwealth without placing an additional burden on the backs of the Pennsylvania taxpayer. A record $10 billion total state dollars is being invested in K-12 education as we continue to support our students. This is especially noteworthy, as we recover from the cuts to state funding imposed by the

Bath Is Great To the Editor:

www.HomeNewsPA.com

Well, Bath Community Day has come and gone. It really was great this year with all the vendors and things to do for the whole family. Good music and good food, too. Hats off to all the organizers and volunteers who made it so successful!! . . . . Luckily, that tropical storm didn’t come around here until Monday afternoon and by then it wasn’t that bad. Quite a bit of rain and some wind, but that’s all. We needed the rain anyhow, so it helped. . . . Baseball playoffs are going at it hot and heavy. From where I’m sitting I think it’s gonna be the Dodgers and Red Sox in the World Series after all the playoffs are done. I rooted for the Pirates and Braves in the National and the Rays in the American, but it hasn’t been decided as I’m penning this. The Rays did survive in game three with a walk-off home run, but still have to get games four and five since they lost one and two. The Braves tied the Dodgers, then went ahead, but a two-run homer by the Dodgers did the Braves in. . . .Philly’s Eagles knocked off the winless New York Giants in NFL football, and that was a surprise. Foles took over after Vick hurt his hammy. I hope they can keep it up. . . . There’s a load of hazardous wastes that will be taken in by the county at the community college this

Saturday. Unfortunately, it doesn’t include latex paints, and my garage has plenty of cans with leftover paint of that kind. Oh well, there’s lots more to choose from on the list that I can take down there. If I do that, though, Elmira and Pete will hafta wait till Sunday to take in the open house farm tour. Just hafta work out a schedule, I reckon. Let’s hope for more great weather. . . . Keep a sharp eye on the road, folks. I hear there’s a nice big herd of deer grazing in fields north and south of Bath and they move around a lot. You don’t wanta hit one of them. . . . Looks like the Hanover Eatery has opened up after a remodeling job. It’s all lit up at night. . . . Not many kind words for the President and Congress these days with the government shut down. . . . I hear Council was ready for some hot words on Monday night at their meeting. They had a police officer standing at the door, the lawyer was early, and even the zoning officer was present. . . . My Royal typewriter is on its last legs, but I don’t wanta invest in a computer. Just can’t get the hang of them. That’s the way it is with us old cronies. . . Anyhow, have a great week, gang!

For over two centuries the majority of Bath residents were related to other residents. The only “outsiders” were those who married into the families. Having lived in Bath all my life, I have seen many changes over the past 25 years and most of them for the betterment of our community. Perhaps it’s time to bring an awareness to new friends in our borough and remind our older citizens just what progress Bath has made. In the near future I will be attempting to enlighten us all of what a wonderful community we share –– our churches, our schools, our businesses and our volunteers, all caring for our future. So when you see a headline B I G (Bath Is Great), please take a few moments to read what we sometimes take for granted. You don’t need a big city to have it all.

I knew what I had to do, which was to evaluate her for a misalignment of her spine, which could be applying pressure to sensitive nerve structures and surrounding tissue. I escorted her down to the chiropractic table we have at our home. I carefully worked on her and adjusted her middle back, lower back and pelvis.

Grow UR Biz in 2013 – Lew’s a Trip

By CAROL RITTER

Then, there’s Lew. He’s friendly, he will do anything to help you and, more than that, he’s the guy who drives folks to and from the beach every day, seven days a week. Last weekend I went to the beach to find our house for the summer of 2014. After a day of househunting, I thought two hours on the beach would just be enough to relax and not think about the upcoming winter. I grabbed the towel, the chair and a bottle of water As I left the hotel, Lew was out front, blasting his favorite music, Diana by Paul Anka. He says, “I’m Lew, at your service, I’m your personal chauffeur for the day, anything you need, you let me know. Hop on board my golf cart and enjoy the music. I’ll have you there in a few.” HOLY #@#$%, is he for real? Of course, I’m smiling all the way to the beach and started singing along with Lew. He dropped me off, gave me his cell number and said, “Don’t forget, I’m here to serve you.” When was the last time that happened to you? Do your employees treat people like this? I recently did a speech for a local non-profit in the area. I asked the employees, “Why are you here, what’s your secret weapon and who loves you to death?” The answers were astounding, but the one I was most moved by was, “I would do anything for

this place.” Isn’t that what it’s all about? Think about every employee in your business, would they be able to say that? Some of the other answers were, “I love my patients, I believe my patients love me to death, and I really enjoy what I do.” Customer service, a priority at this company, the culture has been created but the insight to continue to remind staff, (through training) to be aware of what they say, how they deliver a message and to read the signals of their customers is of utmost importance. I found out later from the hotel manager that Lew is so popular on Trip Advisor that some of the other employees are so (in jest) jealous, they are thinking of changing their names to “LEW” How would your business look on Trip Advisor? And then there’s Lew. What lessons can we learn from Lew? 1. When he has a bad day he doesn’t let his customers know! 2. He brightens our day by adding the little things! (music, extraordinary service etc) 3. He loves his job! Check out

Comment On Sports By Pete Fritchie

TENNIS✷ ✷ ✷

The major tennis tournaments in 2013 are over but there is a word on professional tennis that is of current interest. That is the excessive length of men’s singles matches. They now last five sets and this year we have had to watch play, in several major tournaments, go into a fifth hour. Both those who pay to at-

tend the final and those at home watching the final (Rafael Nadal having won the recent U.S. Open singles final) often don’t have five hours to dedicate to watching one match, even the final. One suggestion is to limit the men’s final to three sets like women’s tennis. That would usually reduce time of the match to three hours. A second reason to limit men’s matches to three sets is the faster, harder pace of professional tennis played today. Both players are running desperately for as much as five hours in today’s finals, also hitting the ball harder than ever. This is an excessive physical demand when a match lasts five sets.

Salem Lutheran continues With wins in dart baseball

Salem Lutheran of Bethlehem continued in first place with a two-game win on Monday in the Suburban InterChurch Dart Baseball League. Bath Lutheran is one of three runners-up.

St. Paul’s: Jennifer Erkinger, 8 for 16; Dave Clark, 7 for 14; Jason Gross, 7 for 15; Andy Minehart, 7 for 16.

Delegates voted against any merger of the PGC and PFBC, especially because of increased costs for radios and uniforms.

Student tells Lions About Conservation

A student the Bath Lions Club sponsored at this past July’s Northampton County Junior Conservation School told about her experiences at a club dinner meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 2. Ericka Veizlemlein said she never realized before about the impact there is on the environment, and that conservation of natural resources is important. She said she learned a lot in the week, along with more than 20 other students, as they had the hands-on experiences of going on hikes, canoeing down river, and studying wildlife and other parts of nature. The school is held annually for 14 to 17 year old boys and girls, sponsored by the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs. This past Saturday, several members of the Lions assisted with parking during Bath Community Day at Keystone Park. Two upcoming meetings were announced by club president Jack Metcalf. On Oct. 16, District 14-K Governor Dennis Butz will make his official visit to the club and on Nov. 6 leaders of the newly merged Boy Scout Troops 33 and 35 will meet with the Lions.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Parking issues noted at Northampton Council By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Parking is a problem everywhere. And while it may have been solved with “No Parking” signs along Lilac Court between Washington Ave. and Lincoln Ave., there still was a petition filed by neighbors in the area of the Liederkranz Club regarding parking lines. It was presented to Northampton Borough Council on Thursday night. The lines were removed since then. A businesswoman, Donna Barker, who is a hair designer along Main St., complained about parking violations since meters were removed from outside of her salon. There are two-hour parking signs now, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ms. Barker said they are being abused. She wants parking meters restored. There are five hairdressers in that area. Council President John Yurish said she would have an answer later, after Council discusses the matter. Lines will be painted that police can enforce. A resident who previously had surgery said he needs handicapped parking, although he has a garage, and an ordinance doesn’t usually grant handicapped spaces when there is a garage. The resident also complained of noisy neighbors, who he alleged harass him because

he has a video surveillance system. There is a noise ordinance. Yurish said he will check it out. A neighbor of the hair stylist also complained of trash at a back property, where there is a scheduled sheriff’s sale. Business Agenda • The Northampton Fire Dept. was given permission to have their annual coin toss on Oct. 19 at 21st & Main Sts., between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The fire station’s groundbreaking ceremony for a new addition to their Lerchenmiller Dr. facility will be held this Saturday, Oct. 12 starting at 1 p.m. Bids for the addition will be opened on Oct. 17. • Permission was also given the Northampton Area Band Parents to use two park pavilions on a Saturday in May 2014 if a local resident doesn’t reserve at the same time. Reservations are taken in March and April. • Council grudgingly voted to write off $6,693.63 in uncollectible money owed the borough. UGI is one of those who didn’t pay $1,235.98 when they had a sub-contractor do street repairs and there was damage to a traffic light at 21st & Main. Councilman Ed Pany voiced his objection. • It was noted that Yurish was invited by RCN to give a Christmas greeting. It will be aired in December.

Groundbreaking for fire Station addition Saturday A groundbreaking ceremony will be held this Saturday, Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. for an addition that will be constructed on the Northampton Fire Department fire station along Lerchenmiller Drive. Remarks will be offered by Mayor Thomas Reenock and State Representative Julie Harhar.t Fire Chief Robert Solderich will introduce the department officers to the public in attendance. Once operating as three separate fire companies, the First Ward Fire Co., the Central Fire Co. and the Alliance Fire Co., the units merged on Jan. 1, 1996 and then settled at the present location, 4 Lerchenmiller Drive. The number of volunteers has continued to grow, equipment and vehicle inventory has expanded to provide many more services, and more space was needed. Fire police also occupy the station.

A 2013 bond issue has offered Northampton Borough Council the opportunity to expand the facility and house personnel, equipment and vehicles. The groundbreaking on Saturday will get the project underway, and construction bids for the addition will be opened by Council on Oct. 17. Refreshments will be provided. The Rev. Francis Straka will offer the invocation and pronounce the benediction. The public is invited to attend this joyous occasion in the Borough of Nothampton.

Protect your winter landscape From hungry wildlife By gardening expert Melinda Myers There’s no doubt that managing critters in the landscape can be a challenge especially as food supplies start to dwindle. If you are battling with rabbits, deer, groundhogs or other wildlife, don't let down your guard as the growing season begins to wind down. Be proactive. Start before they get into the habit of dining on your landscape. It is easier to keep them away than break the dining habit. Fence them out. Fencing is the best defense against most wildlife. A four foot tall fence around a small garden will keep out rabbits. Secure the bottom tight to the ground or bury it several inches to prevent rabbits and voles from crawling underneath. Or fold the bottom of the fence outward, making sure it’s tight to the ground. Animals tend not to crawl under when the bottom skirt faces away from the garden. Go deeper, at least 12 to 18 inches, if you are trying to discourage woodchucks. And make sure the gate is secure. Many hungry animals have found their way into the gar-

den through openings around and under the gate. A five foot fence around small garden areas can help safeguard your plantings against hungry deer. Some gardeners report success surrounding their garden with fishing line mounted on posts at one and three foot heights. Break out the repellents. Homemade and commercial repellents can be used. Apply before the animals start feeding and reapply as directed. Consider using a natural product like Messina’s Animal Stopper (www.Messinas.com). It is made of herbs, safe to use and smells good. Scare ‘em away. Inflatable owls, clanging pans, rubber snakes, slivers of deodorant soap, handfuls of human hair and noise makers are scare tactics that have been used by gardeners for years. Consider your environment when selecting a tactic. Urban animals are used to the sound and smell of people. Alternate scare tactics for more effective control. The animals won't be afraid of a snake that hasn't moved in weeks. Combine tactics. Use a

mix of fencing, scare tactics and repellents. Keep monitoring for damage. If there are enough animals and they are hungry, they will eat just about anything. Don’t forget about nature. Welcome hawks and fox into your landscape. Using less pesticides and tolerating some critters, their food source, will encourage them to visit your yard. These natural pest controllers help keep the garden-munching critters under control. And most importantly, don't give up. A bit of persistence, variety and adaptability is the key to success. Investing some time now will not only deter existing critters from dining in your landscape, but will also reduce the risk of animals moving in next season.

News Sermonette

The Rev. Christina J. Keller, Pastor Covenant United Methodist Church, 2715 Mountain View Drive, Bath

Grow Up

In Ephesians 4:1-16, Paul writes that there is “one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all …” Paul’s letters are more like sermons when one considers all the wisdom and counsel he provides for his readers. As he could not be with the church all the time, I’m sure his intent was to be like their guiding pastor, leading them to the truth in Christ. Keeping in mind that Paul is writing to a specific group of people and sometimes addressing specific situations, which we most often are not entirely aware of, he has some powerful words to share with us even today. I think my favorite nugget of wisdom from this particular section of his letter to the Ephesians comes in verse 15 where Paul writes, “By speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.” What this says to me is that when we, as followers of Christ, are mature in our faith, true in our words, and loving to others, work together as God has gifted each of us, the church will grow. And by the church I understand it to mean the universal church of God. Obviously, it’s not as easy as that, because we are human beings. I’ll be the first to admit that I am not always mature in my faith or words, or gracious, patient, and kind. I’m a work in progress. Some days I’m better at being a true follower of Christ than others. But I can still aspire to greatness! You can aspire to greatness! Every minute of every day is a new opportunity to speak, act and love in a Christ-like manner. If we each were to do our part in the church, using the gifts God has given us, the kingdom of God would be growing and love would abound. That’s Paul’s assertion. But it starts with you. Will you mature in your faith and seek to study and learn and grow more Christ-like? Get that Bible out and read of Jesus and his disciples. The lessons are there for the learning.

Hunters crucial to Deer-forest study Submitted by PA Game Commission You can take a deer out of the forest, but you can’t take the forest out of deer management – the two are too closely linked. Forests provide food and cover for deer and other wildlife. And deer, as primary consumers of forest plants, can impact forest health and, thus, their own habitat and habitat for other wildlife. The deer-forest connection couldn’t be much stronger. And that’s why the Pennsylvania Game Commission for decades has studied the relationship between deer and the forests in which they live, and has used those and other findings in its deer-management decisions. As the years progressed, the methods used to measure forest health became more sophisticated. A higher level of detail on factors affecting tree regeneration became available as a result. Today, the data the Game Commission uses in determining forest health represents the best that has ever been available. However, no monitoring system is perfect. And, as a result, the Game Commission and its research partners have begun a study to answer a simple question: Can we do better? The Game Commission, in partnership with the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania State University, and the U.S. Geological

Survey’s Pennsylvania Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, recently launched a new study into the impacts deer have on forest regeneration, and the current methods used to evaluate those impacts. The Deer-Forest Study also will assess hunter activities and experiences. In the field, forest regeneration data, deer impacts, deer populations and forestmanagement practices will be monitored. In addition, hunters will be surveyed to gather information on their activities while hunting the study areas. “A primary concern and consideration for the Game Commission is that the data we use accurately reflect the effects of deer on forests,” said Christopher Rosenberry, who supervises the Game Commission’s deer and elk section.“Deer are not the only factor affecting forest regeneration, but our assessment of deer impacts on forests is the most important habitat measure used in deer-management recommendations.” Rosenberry said evaluating the role of deer in forest regeneration, as measured by the deer-impact assessment, and making responsible adjustments, will benefit hunters in a number of ways. The study will provide new insight into the effect of deer on forest regeneration. Given their browsing in the forest understory, deer often are an easy target when it comes to

lagging forest regeneration. But they’re not the only factor. And Rosenberry said the study will help to ensure that misplaced blame doesn’t fall on deer in cases where deer aren’t the cause of slowed regeneration. A better understanding of deer impacts in real-world conditions in Pennsylvania also will help ensure that any recommendations to reduce deer populations due to forest impacts are truly necessary. “Recommendations to reduce deer populations are not taken lightly,” Rosenberry said. “And this study is designed to strengthen the data upon which future recommendations are based.” In the last decade, the Game Commission has evaluated key components of its deer research program. Harvest estimates, fawn-to-doe ratios, population monitoring and methods of gathering citizen input have been evaluated and published in scientific journals. The findings from the commission’s research also are incorporated into the deer program, and have improved the commission’s management and understanding of whitetails and deer conflicts. The Deer-Forest Study represents the next step in improving the deer program, Rosenberry said.

But the study can’t be completed without hunters’ help. Those hunting in the areas being studied will provide critical input. Study areas are located within Bald Eagle, Rothrock and Susquehannock state forests on properties enrolled in the state’s Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP). Study areas are marked with signs in parking lots and along roads. Hunters must register when hunting these study areas. Hunters can register by visiting the white-tailed deer page at the Game Commission’s website, then clicking on the “Deer-Forest Study” link in the “Research and Surveys” category.

After deer season concludes, hunters will be mailed a survey to record their hunting success and experiences. Individual surveys will remain confidential. Only summary information will be provided as public information. “Understanding hunter effort, hunter success rates, deer harvests and hunter opinions and observations is a critical part of the study,” Rosenberry said. “We are relying on hunters to provide these important data by registering.” More information about the Deer-Forest Study is available online at the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc. state.pa.us.

Fundraiser for the Blind

Historic Bath farm Celebrates the fall season Continued from page 14

Marking the 85th anniversary of the former Northampton County Blind Association, that since has become the Center for Vision Loss when merged with the Lehigh County Association for the Blind & Visionally Impaired, a framed certificate that also honored Helen Keller was presented at a CVL needs night & dinner with the Lions and Lionesses of District 14-K on October 1.

PDG GLEN SANTES (Dan-D-Lion) of the 14-K Klowns and an Emmaus Lion dressed for the part greet District Governor Dennis Butz at the CVL dinner-fund raiser. More than $43,000 in checks and pledges were turned in that night at the Northampton Community Center.

now grown to encompass 29 acres of the property. David died in 1985, just a few years after sparking what would become the farm’s most lucrative component. “We’re living on his legacy,” joked Delong. It took some time to get the pumpkin rolling. Seiple said it really wasn’t that popular when it first began. “That’s like any business first starting out. It spread by word of mouth.” They advertised on billboards one year and in the Clipper another year. They offered school tours. They provided coupons. Attendance finally started to shoot up and it ballooned into the chaos experienced every weekend during the fall today. Seiple said the pumpkins help keep the farm afloat. “Pick-your-own has paid the bills for the last 20 years.” It takes months for them to ready the farm, especially when it comes to decorating, but it’s decked out in all its autumn splendor when they finally open for pumpkin season. People descend on the patch in droves to peruse the rows of orange, find their way out of the corn maze, and escape the haunted barn unscathed. How many people exactly? “We don’t keep track each year, there’s no way [we could],” said Seiple. He instead calculates the amount of money collected versus the pounds sold, so he knows what varieties to plant for the following year. On busy weekends, they base their approximate count on their parking lot, which holds 900 cars at a time. “We really should count one day,” said Delong. “Not me,” replied Seiple. Based on their parking lot’s capacity and the assumption that each one brings four people, Seiple estimates that the busy weekends attract approximately 6,000 people. October is the busiest month of the whole year for pickyour-own. “We are seeing an increase each year, which is nice, but it really depends on the weather because we depend on our weekends for the public to come out,” said Delong. “If it’s a rainy day, we lose that much money.” “And we never gain it back,” added Seiple. The pumpkin patch isn’t the only feature for fall weekends, however, so there’s plenty to draw people in for a fun afternoon. The corn maze is now in its sixth year. The haunted barn began in 1984, along with the concessions and carnival rides, which have been around at least 20 years at their best guess. “The pumpkin patch is as old as I am, so that’s why we can’t remember anything,”

laughed Delong. A hard-working team of approximately 25 people keeps the farm running smoothly on these busy weekends, which includes a few family members and friends, plus seasonal employees. Each separate attraction has its own workers. It’s a hive of activity, but the Seiple family loves seeing the fruits (or rather, gourds) of their labors. “We’re happy when everything’s running smoothly,” said Delong. “I like the whole family atmosphere, because it’s a family-run farm and I now have a family of my own. Just seeing their joy when they’re picking a pumpkin and trying to carry it out of the field, it’s kind of funny.” “And when the father carries the big one on his shoulder,” added Seiple. “I actually like to see people taking pictures of their kids sitting on everything. That’s the part I like.” Admission to Seiple’s is free and includes a hayride out to the patch where fresh apple cider (hot or cold) from Schantz Orchards awaits. Schantz is locally based in Orefield and their cider is pressed on location. “I think it’s the best cider I’ve ever tried,” said Delong. In addition to everything else, they also have farm animals in the barn, pony rides, and independent vendors. “I don’t know what else we could add, farm-wise,” said Delong. This year they added Fridays to their schedule to hopefully cut down some of the wait time for the hayrides. In the blink of an eye, the busy season will be over and Seiple Farms will start preparing to harvest their field corn and soy beans during November. Friday, November 29 marks the start of Christmas tree season. They began planting them in 2005 and this will be the third year selling them. And in June, it starts all over again with pick-your-own strawberries. According to the Seiple Farms website, “Seiple Farms has been a family owned farm since 1889 with hopes to keep the family farming for many generations to come.” And they invite generations of families to come enjoy themselves year after year. Visit Seiple Farms at 5761 NorBath Blvd. in Bath Fridays-Sundays (hours vary) throughout the season. For more information, go to www. seiplefarms.com or call their hotline at 610-837-6282.

October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month Submitted by Krista Davis

This October, Quality Insights of Pennsylvania supports National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to promote regular mammograms to increase early detection of breast cancer. It is also a time to educate people about how to reduce their risk, empower communities to join the fight and a time to celebrate breast cancer survivors. According to breastcancer.org, approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop inva-

sive breast cancer at some point in her life. For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer. The Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition estimates 32 women each day are diagnosed with breast cancer in the

www.HomeNewsPA.com state. More than 2,000 will die from the disease. But early screening, an annual breast exam by a doctor and annual mammograms for women over 40 have been shown to increase the odds for survival.
