Linda and Jay Astheimer named “Best in Show” at annual Car Show

Submitted by YVONNE TRANSUE The Moore Township Lions and Lioness Clubs held their Twentieth Annual Car Show on Sunday, September 18, 2016 at the Moore Township Recreation Center. They had in excess of one hundred vintage cars and trucks, all spit and polished to a high gloss. What a chore it was to choose the vehicle deemed “Best in Show.” However, after much deliberation, the prize and trophy was awarded to Linda and Jay Astheimer of Pen Argyl. Their presentation was a magnificent burgundy with red trim, a 1929 Chrysler Model 75 with a rumble seat coupe. Not only did it have a large trunk attached to the rear, it also had a small door on the side of the car for storing golf clubs.

How neat is that? Under the

hood was a straight flat-head six cylinder, 248.9 cubic-inch engine with 25.35 horsepower. Not only was this 1929 Chrysler a top winner at the car show, but according to Linda, Jay’s girlfriends thought it was a winner also, because Jay used this vintage car to squire his girlfriends about during his dating days. In addition to the large number of automobiles, there were flea markets to check out and several food stands. Lioness

Rochelle Rinker was Chairlady for the food stands. Kudos to her for her hard work in seeing that the stands were stocked with breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, pierogies and french fries as well as homemade cabbage and noodles, sausage sandwiches with peppers and onions, and pork barbeque along with beverages, ice cream and shoofly pie. As the patrons were looking over the cars and getting some-

thing to eat, they were serenaded by a DJ throughout most of the day. Some of the folks enjoyed the music so much that they chose to find a chair just to sit and listen. To conclude the car show, at about 3 p.m. the winners of the money raffle were announced, and thanks were given to all who came out to help the Lions and Lionesses raise money for the sight impaired as well as other worthy charities.

Five storylines from the second presidential debate eign policy and a variety of other his celebrity status.

By JUSTIN SWEITZER The second presidential debate had all the makings to be an ugly one, and in many ways it definitely delivered. Follow-

ing a week which saw a vice presidential debate, the release of controversial tax documents, and a video of the GOP nominee making degrading statements about women, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump met at Washington University in St. Louis on Sunday, October 9 in their second of three debates with plenty of ammunition to hurl at one another. Nothing was off-topic, as the candidates discussed Trump’s most recent scandal, taxes, for-

Naturally, the topic was brought up early in the debate, with Trump apologizing for the remarks.

“I’m not proud of it,” Trump said. “I apologize to my family, I apologize to the American people.”

Trump awkwardly shifted his focus away from the accusations of sexual assault and onto the Islamic State (ISIS), saying, “When we have a world where you have ISIS chopping off heads, drowning people in steel cages, where you have wars and horrible, horrible sights all over, we should get on to much more important things.”

Trump says he would jail Hillary Clinton as president

“If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, because there has never been so many lies, so much deception. There has never been anything like it, and we're going to have a special prosecutor,” Trump said.

The GOP nominee also fired back at Clinton, at one point telling her she would “be in jail” under a Trump administration.

It was an uncomfortable mo-

ment which saw the nominee of a major political party threaten his opponent with jail time following the conclusion of an FBI investigation which found the former secretary of state innocent of any criminal intent.

Clinton and Trump battle on taxes

Clinton seemed to have the more compelling argument for tax fairness, promising not to raise middle-class tax rates, while Trump’s own website details his plan to eliminate some of the highest tax brackets.

“Nobody who makes less than $250,000 a year will have their taxes raised,” Clinton said. “I want to have a tax on people who are making a million dollars, and I want to have a surcharge on incomes above $5 million.”

“Since the great recession the gains have all gone to the top and we need to reverse that,” she said.

Trump’s idea for tax fairness came when he said he would get rid of the carried interest loophole. He said he would also lower taxes and eliminate regulations, but never specifically said if he

would target wealthy Americans in an attempt to get them to pay an equal share of taxes.

Clinton told the crowd, “His plan will give the wealthy and corporations the biggest tax cuts they’ve ever had.”

Trump breaks with Mike Pence on foreign policy

As debate moderator Martha Raddatz looked to pinpoint details on Trump’s plan for the Middle East, she reminded Trump of his running mate’s position that he explained in the vice presidential debate.

Raddatz repeating Gov. Mike Pence’s answer, saying, “He said provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength and that if Russia continues to be involved in airstrikes along with the Syrian government forces of Assad, the United States of America should be prepared to use military force to strike the military targets of the Assad regime.”

Instead of agreeing with his running mate, Trump responded by saying, “He and I haven’t spoken, and I disagree,” marking an odd moment where Trump denounced the views of his own nominee for vice-president.

It’s no surprise that Trump refused to speak negatively of Russia, as his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin has been a staple of his campaign, but his disagreement with Pence gave a glimpse into the turmoil of the Trump campaign as it struggles to get back on track.

Trump continues to lose Republican support

Sunday night’s debate didn’t seem to do any favors for the Republican nominee as his campaign fights to slow its downward spiral. House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a conference call the following day that he will not defend Donald Trump going forward and that he will not campaign for the GOP nominee.

Ryan instead will focus on campaigning for Republican congressional candidates in an attempt to keep a Republican majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Ryan’s abandonment of the GOP nominee follows a trend which saw numerous Republican senators renounce their support for Trump following the controversial video, including Sens.

Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Matt Kirk (R-Ill.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Jon Thune (R-S.D.).

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Less About, Not Less Of

It needs to be said in this “me, myself, and I” society, that it’s time to stop thinking about ourselves so much. Simply put, we are just not that important. We need to get our minds off ourselves. Get back to the Golden Rule. To help each other as best we can. The beginning of which is courtesy, kind words, and simple generosity.

Before you jump all over me for suggesting that you are not the center of the universe, let’s discuss a bit. I understand that God gave us the ability for self-awareness. The ability to reason, rationalize, and contemplate deep and meaningful things. What a wonderful gift.

My Scottish granny used to say/ sing these words; “Oh the gifts the Lord has given us, to see ourselves as others see us!’ It’s so true. We have this intelligence that allows for us to be introspective and we clearly should.

We have desires, dreams, shortcomings, regrets and more. No two people are alike. With that said however, we need to think less about ourselves and our problems. Note I didn’t say less of ourselves, I said less about.

Big difference. You should think well of yourself in a balanced, even keel, non-narcissistic way of course.

We seem to have this sense that our individual situations and circumstances are unique and nobody has it as bad. Why would you think that? It’s just

not true. After all these years I have yet to meet someone who isn’t afflicted with a human issue. Ranging from stressed about a cat that keeps peeing in the house, overbearing boss, lost a cellular phone, car problems, upset about a cold coffee to more extreme and serious life issues that we are all well aware of, like broken relationships, financial woes, loss of loved ones, sudden catastrophe and disease.

None of us are immune to any earthly possibility.

Know that torturing ourselves constantly and continually bombarding our own mind with recurring thoughts that we cannot do much about at times, doesn’t do you any good. Most often the wheel that keeps going round in round is imaginary.

Such outcomes that we fantasize about are absurd, yet we often keep thinking about it, obsessing, and working ourselves up into a lather for no good reason.

Please take this kindly as I say that you can get help for your real issues, but your imaginary issues are up to you to address.

I know firsthand how draining and fatiguing ruminating over upsetting issues are. Like a cow chewing on cud, I myself have got caught up in the mental loop. It’s fatiguing. You wake up tired, furthering the cascade of decline mentally, physically and spiritually. Feed the body.

Feed the mind. Feed the spirit.

Rather than wishing for a new life, train your mind like a muscle to be clearer, stronger, calmer, and more satisfied wherever you find yourself along this journey called life. Think less about yourself, think better of yourself, and live the life God has blessed you with.

We need to think less about ourselves and our situations for sure. The best way is to put yourself second. Again, less

I wish I could express to each and every person reading this week’s Natural Perspective article just how wonderful and amazing you really are. Many will gaffe at this statement. Even reject it on so many levels. Please know that your denial of the truth will not change the truth. You are beautiful, inside and out, and loved beyond words. I hope you understand that you are an integral part of creation. Connected in a sense to the mountains, winds, birds, all of nature, and all of society. We are all alive. Isn’t that just awesome?

The inspiration for this discussion is borne out of my own personal self-awareness that two-thirds of my life is essentially complete and Lord willing, I plan on enjoying the breathes I have left, whatever they may be. It’s really that simple. So stop. Stop mulling things over and over tirelessly in your own mind. The world outside is waiting. Go play. My best to you.

East Allen Township approves plans for warehouse development

By JUSTIN SWEITZER On October 6 the East Allen Township Planning Commission met to hear two proposals related to future warehouse development in the Lehigh Valley: the first by Vertek Construction Management and the second by Rock-Lehigh Valley LLC. Vertek Construction Management’s application for conditional use was the first proposal heard by the planning commission. Vertek sought the approval of their conditional use application that would allow them to construct a light industrial warehouse for a client yet to be found.

The proposed warehouse would be located at the intersection of Airport Road and Route 329, with an entrance/exit on both roads. The commission expressed their concern over the potentially large increase in traffic that would accompany the warehouse.

“The biggest hassle I see is the traffic down there,” said Chairperson Don Heiney.

The busy location of the project prompted the commission to come up with strong recommendations that would address increased traffic in the area.

Township Engineer Daniel Miller said the group must address improvements to the frontage of the intersection, provide an adequate level of service to the intersection, provide a T intersection at Jacksonville Road and Route 329, provide a structure to block the light and sound from this project to the southern boundary, as well as a buffer screen so as not to disturb residents who live on Route 329.

The planning commission then approved the conditional use for the Vertek warehouse, allowing them to take their next step and

present the project to the Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, October 12.

Vertek’s land development plan was tabled to a future meeting.

Rock-Lehigh Valley, a subsidiary of The Rockefeller Group, also came before the commission with a zoning amendment request for the 155 acres they had recently acquired at the southwest corner of East Allen Township near Weaversville Road.

Rock-Lehigh Valley looked to rezone those 155 acres from agricultural use to light industrial business park use.

Joe Fitzpatrick, attorney for Rock-Lehigh Valley, touched on the careful planning the group had put into traffic studies that may arise from the development.

Fitzpatrick noted that the project is still in the beginning stages.

“This is the first formal step that we would like to take within your town.”

Ultimately, the planning commission had a favorable view of Rock-Lehigh Valley’s proposal.

The commission concluded that the location was an “appropriate place for this kind of development.”

The overwhelming consensus led to the commission’s approval of the rezoning, changing the land’s agricultural use to land suitable for light industrial business use.

The next East Allen Township Planning Commission meeting on November 3 at 7:30 p.m.

Five Lessons from Christopher Columbus This week we observed Columbus Day, an American national holiday since 1937.

Columbus Day commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World on October 12, 1492. The Italian-born explorer had set sail two months earlier.

He intended to chart a western sea route to China, India and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia; instead, he landed in the Bahamas, becoming the first European to explore the Americas since the Vikings set up colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland during the 10th century.

Lesson #1 - Columbus was a risk taker- he and his sailors crossed the Atlantic Ocean, not knowing where they would land.

It was a voyage into the unknown.

Lesson # 2 - Columbus was a change-agent- explorer and navigator Christopher Columbus left Spain in the Santa Maria, with the Pinta and the Niña along side. He has been credited for opening up the Americas to European colonization.

Lesson #3 - Columbus was a negotiator- Columbus lobbied the royal court many times and the monarchs agreed to finance his expedition.

Lesson #4 - He never gave up and did not let failure stop himHe failed to find that what he set out for originally - a new route to Asia and the riches it promised.

Lesson #5 - Columbus was a leader - He was best known for the Columbian Exchange, his expeditions set in motion the widespread transfer of people, plants, animals, diseases, and cultures that greatly affected nearly every society on the planet.

Risk taker, change-agent, negotiator, recoverer and leader - all the ingredients for a strong business owner. Take the lessons from Christopher Columbus; you will be surprised at the results.

Manufacturers Resource Center Kicks off Manufacturing Day, Launches Inside Manufacturing and Kicks off Fourth Year of “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?”

submitted by KIM PLYLER The Manufacturers Resource Center is proud to announce the fourth year of “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?”

Presented on the Pennsylvania’s Dream It. Do It. platform, the “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” Student Video Contest gives 8th graders from over 25 school districts in Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon and Monroe counties the opportunity to connect directly with local manufacturers, document their experiences and present them in an educational and “cool” way through film media.

The contest was created to generate excitement that draws students to consider manufacturing career paths. This year, there are 31 middle school teams partnered with 31 area-manufacturing companies. This expansion reflects the tremendous efforts MRC and its partners have put forth in the community.

“We are very pleased to launch WSCM for its fourth year here in the Lehigh Valley,” said Jack Pfunder, Pres/CEO of MRC. “The program’s success is spreading across the state of PA and around the country. The program, which promotes STEM education, helps foster a new understanding of opportunities in manufacturing careers. We are very grateful to our teaming partners at PBS39, DaVinci Science Center, and Lehigh Valley Workforce Development Board, who help make this program a success.”

Armed with a GoPro camera, teacher coach, specific guidelines, curiosity and creativity, each team will tour its respective manufacturer’s location and interview employees to gain a primary understanding of that field. The teams will then take their footage and translate what they find to be cool about that manufacturing company or industry into a short video. Train-

ing videos that were created last year for educators are Emmy Award winning.

“STEM education is important to ensure that all students in Pennsylvania have every opportunity for success,” said Teri Haddad, EdD, VP of Production and Education for PBS39. “PBS39 is proud to collaborate with the Manufacturers Resource Center and local companies who commit time, energy and resources for the success of students.

The students’ video submissions will be posted on DIDI PA’s website and YouTube channel. The videos will be open to the public for voting in midFebruary for the Viewer’s Choice Award, and judges will determine best videos in a variety of other categories. At the end of February, students, parents, educators, manufacturing leaders, community sponsors, local legislators and project partners will gather for an award ceremony to announce and acknowledge winning teams. Last year, over 110,000 votes were cast during the three-day period. Last year’s video submissions are available for viewing on DIDI PA’s website. Original funding was furnished by grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).

In addition to kicking off Manufacturing Day with the launch of WSCM’s fourth season, MRC has scheduled private tours for high school students at 15 area companies throughout the month of October. For those not able to visit a facility, MRC has partnered with PBS 39 to create an online video series called Inside Manufacturing, which invites the community to take a look behind the doors at 12 area manufacturing facilities. For more information on Inside Manufacturing log on to www.MRC.org.

Moore Township Creative Supervisors discuss Corner results of MS4 Inspection

By KATHLEEN UNGER

By JUSTIN SWEITZER Moore Township Supervisors convened for their monthly meeting on October 4, discussing numerous topics including the purchase of a new loader, new furnaces for the public works building, and the results of a recent municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) inspection, which took place in mid-September.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, all municipalities that meet certain standards must obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit to comply with federal standards concerning water pollution.

Since Moore Township has had a permit for roughly 10 years, the township was chosen randomly for inspection, an inspection which Board of Supervisors Chairman David Tashner described as “intense.”

Township Engineer Kevin Horvath elaborated on the inspection and its purpose, saying, “The reason for this inspection is that it’s part of the DEP-EPA NPDES permitting laws that require any municipality with a certain population and a municipal separate storm sewer system to monitor and develop policies and procedures for the best management of the MS4.”

It’s an “overall preservation and protection effort to improve stream water quality,” Horvath said.

“Overall,” Horvath continued.

“It was a very positive report.”

Horvath also said the next step for the township will involve remediation, including a stormwater study, to find where pollutants are coming from, so the percentage of pollutants in impaired streams can be reduced.

The board also discussed purchasing a new loader for the township, debating between a loader manufactured by John Deere or Case.

Tashner seemed to be leaning toward purchasing the John Deere loader, after receiving input from the township’s operators. Tashner said they felt the John Deere loader had more power in the stockpile, had two

more inches of ground clearance than the Case loader and had better touch control pads.

Vice Chair Daniel Piorkowski had reservations about making a purchase with limited information. He pointed to varying prices and other purchasing options to support his reasoning. “I think we need more facts before we buy it,” he said.

Ultimately, the board decided to look into the matter more, tabling the purchase to their November meeting.

Also tabled at the meeting was the purchase of new furnaces for the public works garage. The board was supposed to have three quotes to consider at the meeting, but multiple quotes were never received by the board.

It was noted that the public works garage was originally supposed to have three furnaces rather than two, leading the board to consider purchasing a third furnace to expand the life of future furnaces.

Piorkowski made a motion to accept the purchase of equipment for the Recreation Center’s proposed disc golf course, which was consequently approved by the board. The board also approved a motion allowing the Recreation Center to hire an additional parttime employee.

The board also lifted a ban blocking members of the Land Preservation Board and the Environmental Advisory Council from serving on both boards. The ban was put in place to spur more community involvement, but with membership waning on the EAC board, the Board of Supervisors believe the ban is no longer necessary.

Additionally, Secretary and Treasurer Richard Gable was notified mid-meeting that Moore Township was the winner of the Open Space Project award at the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission’s annual award ceremony.

The next Board of Supervisors meeting will take place on November 1 at 7 p.m.

New store coming to 106 S. Chestnut St. in Bath submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN A new store is coming to 106 S. Chestnut Street in Bath, slated to open at the end of October.

Storeowner Wendy Setzer will be opening Nouvelle Vie, which means “new life” in French. The store will be an eclectic selection of creatively repurposed and refurbished home goods. The store will feature furniture, lighting and work by local artists.

Secret Admirer I was 16 and working at the

local 5 and 10-cent store when I received a letter addressed to me at the store. I never got mail addressed to me at that location, therefore I was puzzled to find it was from a “secret admirer” who identified himself as Ray. He said he saw me working behind the candy counter among all the sweet aromas, and compared me to a beautiful rose.

Well, this was quite a shocking comparison!

As I read on, Ray went on to tell me that he had inherited his grandfather’s hardware store and that he would be taking over the business and traveling all over the world. (I did read in a local newspaper that the owner of a hardware store had died, so at least that part was true.) He said he would write me from various foreign cities.

I was very curious who this guy was, so with a couple of my girl-friends, we set out to find the address which appeared as a return address on the envelope. We found the house, and on the way through the yard to the front door, one of the girls stepped into a small fishpond in the yard. We got the giggles, and by the time we got to the front door, we were overcome with laughter.

We knocked on the door and were greeted by a nice lady. As the door opened, she saw four teenagers giggling like fools.

We composed ourselves long enough to ask for Ray and she said he wasn’t home but that we should come in. We entered the house and were ushered into a lovely living room. The lady invited us to sit down and asked why we were looking for Ray. I told her I had received a “love letter” from him and that I wanted to know what kind of guy he was. I said, “Is he a little boy or an old man with a cane?”

She said neither but would not comment any further. We left without really finding out anything about Ray. A few weeks later I started receiving letters from different parts of the country. Letters were postmarked from Ft. Worth, Des Moines, and New Orleans. I later received letters postmarked from France, including a brochure for a villa in the south of France on which Ray had made notations. This was all very exciting and intriguing, but I thought the guy must be a kook. The letters continued for about six months and then they stopped. No more crazy letters. I never heard from him again but my curiosity was peaked and I often wondered who or what he was!

Nationwide Celebration Of Afterschool Programs submitted by JEAN WEHRLE On Thursday, October 20, 2016, children, parents, business and community leaders will come together at a Lights On Afterschool celebration at several of our branches to celebrate the achievements of afterschool students, and draw attention to the need for more afterschool programs to serve the millions of children nationwide who are unsupervised and at risk each weekday afternoon. The gathering will be one of more than 8,000 such events across the nation emphasizing the importance of keeping the lights on and the doors open after school.

Lights On Afterschool participants will enjoy science activities, glow room, reading area and family games, along with a ziti and meatball dinner at the YMCA of Easton, Phillipsburg & Vicinity, 1225 W. Lafayette Street, Easton PA. The Forks YMCA Education Center, 1350 Sullivan Trail, Easton, PA, will celebrate Lights On Afterschool during their Fall Festival with pumpkin carving, games, arts and crafts, hay ride, face painting and refreshments. Nazareth YMCA, 33 South Main Street, Nazareth, PA, will cap off their week-long celebration with a Glow Stick Party followed by music and pizza.

Check our website for details about other Greater Valley YMCA branches, including: Bethlehem YMCA, Slate Belt YMCA and Suburban North YMCA. Registration required for some programs; additional details available on the Greater Valley YMCA website at greatervalleyymca.org. Recent data from America After 3 p.m., the research series on afterschool programs commissioned by the Afterschool Alliance, shows a vast unmet demand for afterschool programs nationwide. In

Pennsylvania, 18% (346,458) of K-12 youth are responsible for taking care of themselves after school with only 17% (321,296) of Pennsylvania's K-12 children participating in afterschool programs, yet 50% (811,954) would be enrolled IF an afterschool program were available. Further, 93% of PA’s parents satisfied with their child’s afterschool program. More work needs to be done to meet the great need for afterschool programs that keep PA’s kids safe, inspire them to learn and help working families.

In March, the Afterschool Alliance released a new report on the state of afterschool programs in rural America. Drawing on data from America After 3 p.m., the report found widespread support for afterschool, with 85 percent of parents saying they are satisfied with their child's program.

However, for every child in a program, three are waiting for a program to become available.

That's 3.1 million children in rural communities who still wait to access the benefits of an afterschool program.

“Lights On Afterschool celebrates the remarkable work being done by students who attend our afterschool programs,” said David Fagerstrom, president and CEO of the Greater Valley YMCA. “It is a powerful reminder that afterschool programs offer a range of supports to children and families. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough afterschool programs, and too many kids are home alone in the afternoons or on the streets where they can be exposed to crime or are at-risk.

We must open more programs and make sure lawmakers invest more in afterschool.”

FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING BATH AUTHORITY SYSTEM Week of October 17 to October 28, 2016.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip It’s been a pretty cold week, with temperatures down into the 50s and even 40s in some cases.

So folks are wrapping up as they step outdoors. We put our first logs on the fire, just to take the chill outta the house. I’m not a cold weather guy, so I mind it already. . . .But watching all the major league playoff games has been warming me. Cole Hamels’ Texas Leaguers are the first ones eliminated, now that they’ve been playing more games. The Mets were gone after one loss. You know, as you hear the names of players, whether National or American League, there are more and more former Phillies, and even men analyzing on sports channels usta play for the Phils who are doing good. Carlos Ruiz hit a homer for the Dodgers on Monday and Jimmy Rollins is a panelist. We’ve had some great ones, and can be proud of that. . . . They said there were 53,000 fans at the Dodgers - Nationals game. At today’s ticket prices you can see where they get the millions of dollars for all the players. . . .There musta been close to 100 who showed up for Herbie Silfies’ farewell party on Sunday down at the Legion. He’s using a walker because of his legs, but he’s looking good otherwise. There were plenty of hugs and kisses going around as folks who haven’t seen each other for a while met up at the party. And everybody has a camera these days, so pictures galore. I hear Herb will be moving to Washington, not Oregon, when he heads out West. Family bought another house, I hear.

Best wishes, Herb! The rest of the Hearts gang will be thinking of you as they take up your slack in the cuss jar. Big Tom will be listening with a sharp ear. . . . I hope the weather is not too cold when the Halloween parades start this Saturday in Nazareth, a daytime parade; and then on Tuesday in Bath at 7:00, and Thursday for Northampton’s Jack Frost Parade, another nighttime show.

These are the first Ye Ed’s gonna miss after years and years of taking pictures of the floats, scouting and football groups, and folks dressed up in weird costumes, but that’s how life goes. . . .I was sur-

prised to read that Bath Borough Council is thinking about buying the late Roger Rehrig’s Thirst Quenchers building. I know they were thinking of a new municipal building or remodeling the old one, but the costs are really huge. Rogers’ building is the former Heisler/Dettmer hardware store, and long ago before the fire an Acme Market. So we’ll see. . . .Maybe it’s the change of seasons, but there were 20 deaths in the area last week. A couple obits hadta be held, but I hear the gang at the paper wants to get all of them in this week. . . .Only 26 days and then you know what will be over – the presidential election! Finally, a rest from all the bickering. . . .Elmira has a hot toddy ready. Just right for the chill in the air.

Senior Dogs Who Wet Their Beds

What Pet Parents Of Senior Dogs Should Know

by Jeff Nichol, DVM (NAPSI)—If you’re like most dog owners, you’ve stumbled upon, or even into, a few urine “accidents” from time to time.

What Can Happen Tom and Andrea Armstrong

love their dog Clara, a delightful 8-year-old retriever who enjoys playing ball and snuggling. A few years ago, her family started finding wet spots in her bed. They were puzzled.

Clara had been reliably housetrained, but now, when she got up, she would sometimes

Local student to complete externship, studies at IUP academy of culinary arts submitted by MICHELLE FRYLING

The following student has completed requirements for graduation from Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Academy of Culinary Arts: Shaniyah Zepp, Lincoln Avenue, Northampton, daughter of Kimberly and Arnold Zepp, is a 2015 graduate of Hampton Area High School. She completed her externship at Penn State Berks County Campus, Berks County.

All Academy students –

100 percent – are offered externship positions; 85 percent are offered positions in four- or five-start and diamond properties.

Qualified students also can study abroad at the Culinary Arts Academy Switzerland for six months and do an externship in Switzerland.

sniff her wet bed and sheepishly skulk away. She seemed to know she’d made a mistake.

Her owners considered punishing her.

The Armstrongs did the right thing and took Clara to their veterinarian. A careful history revealed that this well-behaved dog leaked urine only when resting or sleeping, that she always passed a normal stream outside, and that she never strained. Suspecting an incontinence problem, her doctor explained the importance of ruling out other problems before prescribing treatment.

Why It Happens It could be due to a number of reasons. Bladder stones and infections, kidney disease, diabetes, neurologic disorders and behavior problems are all possibilities.

For a senior dog, it might be a behavior issue or age-related dementia or it may be entirely physical.

Also, nearly 20 percent of spayed female dogs leak while they sleep due to urethral sphincter hypotonus, often called spay incontinence.

Some spayed dogs, most of-

ten middle-aged and older, don’t produce quite enough of the female hormone estrogen to maintain control of the sphincter muscle in their bladders. After drifting off to sleep, they leak. Some of them lick themselves to clean up the mess, leaving their skin reddened. Nobody’s happy.

What The Vet Can Do Fortunately, nearly every affected dog who’s treated does fine. Veterinarians often prescribe the only nonhormone medical option,chewable Proin tablets from PRN Pharmacal, because they taste great and work well.

In some cases, due to pet irritability, restlessness or certain medical conditions, Proin may be inappropriate. For those dogs, hormone therapy may be more effective.

The good news for spayed female bed wetters is that they can stay indoors with their families. For example, Clara’s leaking stopped in just a few days. She’s back to being a full-on snuggler.

Popcorn Fundraiser for Scouts submitted by ALISTA BLOSE

Area scouts are participating in a Popcorn Fundraiser, and will be heading to your neighborhood, in hopes of help achieving their scouting goals. Not only is the popcorn a delicious treat, the fundraiser helps pave the way for youth to reach goals they set for themselves throughout the coming year.

Some scouts choose to pay for special activities, others choose a new uniform or equipment.

Scouts can also use the funds to attend once in a lifetime events like a National Jamboree, or a trip to an adventure camp across the country.

For other scouts, the funds raised from popcorn offer their only opportunity to attend summer camp, a week-long program where they gain valuable character attributes and skills. Whether their dreams are big or small, your support of the fundraiser helps make a difference in scouting. Will you help them achieve their goals? To purchase online,

“He Dared Not Face the Music”

Years ago, in old China, lived a man who was a member of the emperor's orchestra, although he could not play a note. He obtained his position as a flute player in the royal band by influence, and for many years, whenever the musicians played, he sat with them and held his flute against his lips, pretending to play the plaintive airs of his native land. But he never dared to blow even softly into the instrument for fear he would cause a discord and be unmasked. But there came a day when it was the emperor's wish to have each of his musicians play alone.

As the day approached, the flutist became desperate. For a time he took lessons from a professional, but to no avail; he had no musical ear or talent for the flute. Then he pretended to be ill, but was afraid he would be betrayed by the royal physician, who was sent to attend him. On the morning of his solo appearance, he took poison and died rather than face the music. This, then, is the origin of an old Chinese phrase, “He dared not face the music.”

There are many today who claim the title “Christian” but are living a lie. Although professing to be followers of Christ, they are doing their own will instead of His. Jesus said, “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit…Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:18-21) Some day each one will be forced to "face the music" of judgment.

Are you ready?
