Engineering items Get most attention In Allen Township by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
A number of matters were discussed at Thursday night’s meeting of the Allen Township Board of Supervisors. Most were in the report of township engineer Jim Milot. • First was a follow-up on the Walker Drive storm water investigation. Milot said an effort is being made to minimize the storm water with a very shallow berm area and an inlet at the Milkovits property and a larger gutter opening to stop clogging. Work done in the summer that included regrading of a berm between a PPL right-of-way and an apartment complex at Willow Ridge, and a clogged inlet, was believed by Milot to cause storm water to go on properties at Gray Drive and Walker Drive. He estimated it would cost up to $25,000 for the remedial work, considering prevailing wages, if bids were to be solicited by the township. But if the apartment owners were to have the work done themselves, Milot said it could be done for $15,000 to $20,000. Supervisor Bruce Frack suggested that the township talk to them and see if an arrangement can be worked out, “even if we go 50/50.” • A truck restriction study will be made of Savage, East/ West Bullshead and Willowbrook Road. Township Manager Ilene Eckhart said the East Allen Township’s manager, Debbie Seiple, and Northampton’s borough manager, Gene Zarayko, are willing to work with Allen Township on it. • At Willow Ridge, there would be no sidewalk from Walker Drive; a cul-de-sac would be paved and curb replaced. Bids

would be sought for the singles/ twins final paving, curb and sidewalk installation. • A time extension for the Landis subdivision was approved to November 17. • Although solicitor Lincoln Treadwell was not present, the supervisors and Milot discussed a roadway improvement fund ordinance. Among points noted: PennDOT is willing to have property owners or developers fix roads 14 ft. in front of the properties; roadways would be upgraded to current standards, and contractors would be compared for the best prices; and there needs to be a provision in the ordinance for a waiver. Supervisors Dale Hassler and Larry Oberly were unhappy with what Milot saw as options, and asked that there should be further discussions at the next meeting after Treadwell and Milot get together. Milot was told there is a concern about storm water on Mud Lane. Other Matters • It was reported that the township’s dog park along Savage Road is getting plenty of use by dog owners and their pets. There is A human pink ribbon was formed on the grounds of George Wolf Elementary School on Turn Bath Pink day -Photo by Emily Dilcherd, of www.elle-studios.com a water fountain for the dogs to this past Saturday. take care of their thirst. The park does need landscaping, benches and trees. • Bids will be sought for township mowing and ground maintenance. • Approval was given to St. John’s U.C.C. Church at Howertown to have a bonfire after a hayride. • The monthly fire report by Allen Township Fire Co. #1 showed 112.25 total alarm hours; 76 training hours; 28 alarms (4 assist at ambulance station, 6 auto accidents, 3 auto accidents with rescue, 2 automatic fire alarms, 1 brush fire, 1 dwelling fire at Buckingham Dr. & Old Gate Rd., 1 fuel spill, 1 rescue, 2 smoke detector activations, 1 smoke investigation, 1 structure fire on E. 21st St., Northampton, 2 traffic controls, 1 tree down, 1 wires down, A pink fire engine was brought to the scene and people signed their names or those of loved ones who had cancer or survived the disease. –Home News photo and 1 wires/pole fire).

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Good Grief Has anyone else noticed that more and more people are taking three drugs per day? In fact, this is on the low end of what I see. I have individuals taking five, ten, or more prescribed drugs virtually every day. I am at a loss as to why. The obvious answer is that prescription drugs improve quality of life and help you live longer. I am not sure either of these is true. Look, I understand that certain medications save lives. I am not talking about the shortterm, medically-necessary, lifesaving medications. I am talking about the multiple drugs that people are taking for years, often decades. This cannot be good for you. When you understand how the drugs actually do what they do, the side effects and the interactions, you will wonder if you

are doing more harm than good. When I see a person present to my office with twelve drugs and still in a horrible state of poor health the only thing I can think is “Good grief!” Now I didn’t put the person on the medications and I am not taking them off. The only thing I can do is assist them in regaining their health so that their medical doctor can make the decision to reduce or

remove the drug. Case and point is the class of drugs that reduce the symptoms of acid reflux. These drugs are used to suppress acid production in the stomach. At first glance those who have chronic indigestion are pleased that this daily drug helps reduce their symptoms. They can now sleep better, feel less pain...and still consume massive quantities of pasta, pizza, sauce, dairy, sugar, Splenda, soda and whatever else they want. Of course I am embellishing the last thought yet, good grief, are we really a society of pill poppers so that we can continue to make poor lifestyle choices? We need to rethink things a bit. Chronic use of these drugs can lead to gastric tumors, cancer, infertility, headaches, diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, dizziness, vomiting, rash, cough, fever, pain, anemias, osteopenia, and the list keeps going on. Wow! What if the upset stomach you are feeling is actually because of the fake food, nutrient poor stuff you are eating
and not enough gastric enzymes to digest it all? I have seen this played out over and over. Think about how nasty road kill smells when you drive over it in your vehicle. It’s repulsive. Imagine now that you use drugs to suppress the appropriate levels of digestive acids and enzymes in your gut? The half rotten food at some point needs to leave the stomach and travel through the GI system. Think this could cause other problems? Irritable bowel disease, rectal fissures, or Crohn’s perhaps? Good grief, we have got to “think outside the pill” for returning our bodies back to health and well-being. One of the easiest ways to start the process is to have your blood work evaluated and see what’s going on. We can then find the corresponding nutrients your body requires to return to health! The challenge is to get the correct blood work done. Oftentimes it isn’t. For example, I recommend a blood test called BNP. This simple blood test tells

me if you are suffering from a cardiac issue long before you even feel there is a problem. A high level essentially says that you are or will experience heart failure of some type. If you have swollen ankles you need this test done ASAP. My hope is that you understand that staying in good health doesn’t happen by luck or with synthetic drugs. Stop suppressing symptoms and start really finding out why your body is not working correctly. I recommend hair analysis, blood work, urine tests, stool samples, and whatever else you need. It just makes sense. But instead of drugs I recommend vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbs, and life enhancing nutrients.

According to Entrepreneur Magazine, many people look up to famous and iconic entrepreneurs. We all know their names: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban and on and on. The one thing they all have in common is that they don’t worry about things they can’t control. They pretty much ignore variables outside of their power. Here are eight examples of the way many successful entrepreneurs think:

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS To the Editor: We still have a problem with the noise from Keystone. We live on Green St. and I think it is louder now. We have my windows closed and can still hear more noise than ever, I don't like to even have my windows open especially at night because the noise is so annoying. You were talking about the noise on Holiday Hill - can you imagine what it is like on Green St.? Also on the problem with dust… I work at Bath Drug and know of at least one patient that had problems breathing. When he went to the ER they told him he has cement dust in his bronchial tubes. And there is nothing
they can do - what does that tell you? Plus, they told him they have many patients in this area with the same problem. I myself have breathing problems and problems with my voice and I am wondering if it’s the same, but don't want to really undergo the testing to find out… Jane Molchaney Bath

138th Legislative District by SCOTT LITTLE On Wednesday, Oct. 7, I joined a bipartisan majority of my House colleagues in defeating Gov. Tom Wolf ’s attempt to raise taxes by $3.8 billion over two years. In pursuing what would have been the largest tax increase in Pennsylvania history, the governor proposed increasing the Personal Income Tax (PIT) from 3.07 percent to 3.57 percent and imposing an estimated 14 per cent total severance tax when factoring in the existing impact fee. Gov. Tom Wolf ran on a platform that included significant property tax relief. While I do not agree with all of his proposals, this was one I could support. Unfortunately, what I was asked to consider today did not include the dollar-for-dollar relief for which my constituents have asked. I’d prefer passage of House Bill 504, legislation I support which received votes from both sides of the aisle and all corners of the state. I’m also opposed to this amendment’s reliance on the Pennsylvania taxpayer to foot the bill. A Personal Income Tax hike of this magnitude is a significant blow to the same middle-class families the governor said he would support. Finally, I could not vote for a severance tax that was once billed to produce $1 billion but in fact will generate significantly less. Going from an impact fee that benefits the entire state, even Northampton County, to the largest energy tax in the country is a step I was not willing to take. Questions about this or any legislative issue should be directed to my district office at 610746-2100.

Meeting on PennEast pipeline In Moore Township tonight by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Moore Township Supervisor Dan Piorkowski announced at last Tuesday’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors that Food & Water, along with a coalition of individuals along the proposed PennEast pipeline route, will have a public meeting tonight (Thursday, Oct. 15) at 6 p.m. in the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. hall on Rt. 946. Food & Water is an organization that is joining together to re-energize landowners about the natural gas pipeline. New Jersey has seen a great deal of success in their opposition to the pipeline and they would like to implement some strategies that have been very effective against PennEast. They have generated more than 70% opposition through denying the company permission to survey, and this has threatened to stop the pipeline at the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Food & Water wants to hold the presentation in Moore Township to attract more folks from Nazareth, Moore Township and Bath. PennEast has filed its intentions to build the 138-mile pipeline with the Federation government so that it can proceed with the project by next year. Other matters • At last Tuesday’s Supervisors meeting the board approved a lot line adjustment for Wilson and Andrew Gum that had already been approved by the Planning Commission. The Gum’s were represented by Atty. Al Pierce. • Also approved was a change in general liability insurance for
the township. They are now going with Trident Insurance Co., at a savings of $13,000, according to secretary-treasurer Richard Gable. Health insurance with another carrier also has savings for the township. • It was announced that Trick or Treat Night will be observed on Saturday, Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. Reports • Jason Harhart, fire recorder, reported that the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. in September responded to 18 fire calls requiring 136 man-hours (3 fires, 6 motor vehicle accidents, 2 automatic fire alarms, 3 mutual aid – a fire in Bath and 2 brush fires in Bushkill Twsp.); 1 smoke investigation, and 3 trees down. The fire company’s ambulance also responded to 54 calls needing 216 man-hours. They spent 204 man-hours in fire and ambulance training and 66 for maintenance of their apparatus. • Chief of Police Gary West had this report for September: 313 total incidents; 48 warnings, verbally and written; 16 traffic citations; 3 arrests for DUI, prohibited act, and 1 receiving stolen property, theft of secondary metal and simple trespass; 4 reportable and 3 non-reportable accidents.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The weather was beautiful, clear blue skies and lots of sunshine, just cool enough for comfort, so it was a great day on Saturday for Turn Bath Pink. There was a great turnout of walkers and runners for the morning 5K. Then in the afternoon, plenty of folks came out to form the human pink ribbon. Turn Bath Pink shirts were worn by many as they were sold on the site at the George Wolf Elementary School. A photographer named Emily climbed the fire truck ladder and aimed at the ribbon of folks down below, and a drone buzzed overhead. After that, there was the pet parade on Allen Street. Dogs outnumbered the cats, but most all of the pets had some sorta pink they were wearing. Mark Saginario out-dressed his dog with pink trousers. The pink fire engine was there again for people to sign their name or a relative who may have had cancer or survived it. There was an auction that lasted most of the day in the Bath Fire Social Hall. All in all, it was a great day for us to be aware of cancer and to be thankful for those who have survived that dreaded disease. Hats off to Mayor Fi and all the volunteers who made it such a successful day!! . . . .I hear there was a cupcake party last week at the Lutheran church to celebrate Anna Kish’s 90th birthday. Congrats to you, Anna . . . .Bill Santo and his wife were up from Maryland over the weekend to attend Bill’s 67th reunion with his Northampton High School classmates. I hear that they just made it out of South Carolina in time, as the rains came down so heavy Bill could hardly see while driving. South Carolina was flooded right after they left, and still is. . . . One of his classmates, Phyllis Hilberg Henshue couldn’t make it after a serious fall at their home in Wind Gap. She and her husband recently moved up here from Texas. If you recall, Phyllis used to have a real estate business over in Nazareth years ago. . . .Back to Bill Santo. Herbie Silfies was glad to hear he’s doing well. It brought back memories years ago when they were young and foolish, especially one New Year’s Eve when they had too much to drink
and got into a horrible accident on Northampton Street. Herb said the Man upstairs was with them, allowing them to live, although they were hurt bad.

same undersized forward who was using his blazing speed to blow past defenders in his way and create offensive scoring chances off the rush. Danick Martel got his feet wet last spring, making his pro debut with the Phantoms back on April 11. After a five-game taste of the AHL last year saw Martel tally three points (one goal, two assists), Martel comes into the 2015-16 season – his first full year of pro hockey – knowing what to expect and looking to make a name for himself. “I need to build my place in this league,” Martel said after Saturday’s 4-3 loss to the Crunch. “If I need to be stronger around the net and stronger on the wall, I'll do it.” On Saturday night, Martel found himself on the second line alongside team captain Colin McDonald and the Phantoms’ returning leading scorer Nick Cousins. Martel’s speed and willingness to get to the net was prevalent throughout the game, drawing penalties on his opponents and in the third period fighting through traffic in front of the net to get to a rebound and score his first goal of the season. “He’s got speed,” head coach Scott Gordon said of Martel. “When [he] can get that going, he’s going to have an impact.” It will be interesting to see how Martel responds to a full season at the pro level, and whether or not he will be able to withstand the physical day-to-day rigors of the AHL. So far, so good for Martel, who appeared in all three preseason games for the Phantoms – tallying two goals and an assist – and tallying a goal and five shots in Saturday night’s regular season opener. The Phantoms, under new head coach Scott Gordon, will have a week of practice to address their mistakes from their first game before heading on the road this weekend to take on the Springfield Falcons Friday night at 7:00 p.m. ET and rival Wilkes-

Barre/Scranton on Saturday at 4:05 p.m. ET. “The biggest thing is the 3rd period,” Gordon said in his postgame press conference. “We'll be able to come in and see some video on the way it should be versus what he did in the first and second periods. It'll be painful to watch the bad part, but the quicker we learn from this the
less we are going to have to do it. That will be the emphasis at practice to make sure they understand that there is a reason why we put ourselves in that situation.

NORTHAMPTON AREA
Northampton tour honored its founders

Other firsts included the cemetery, which was founded in 1745 after the death of James

NAZARETH AREA
Pieces of Nazareth History Celebrating Nazareth’s 275th Anniversary
submitted by THE HISTORY COMMITTEE • Moravian Theological Seminary was founded in Nazareth, at the Moravian boys’ school, on October 2, 1807 with three students. It did not move permanently to Bethlehem, where it has been ever since, until 1858. • On Sunday, October 3, 1762, many of the Nazareth residents (all Moravians at the time)
walked north to the new Moravian congregation at Schoeneck to celebrate its organization and the dedication of the log building.
from its offices above the first Army Navy Store at 58 S. Main St. (three doors north of where it is now).
• In the late 1900s the grounds of Nazareth Hall included a site for concerts and plays—they performed Shakespeare in the Pleasure Garden—and a field where the boys could pitch their tents for camping. That field is where Moravian Hall Square is now.
• In 2000 the former Atlantic Sewing Machine Co.’s industrial building at Wood and Madison Streets in Nazareth’s West End was converted to one-bedroom apartments for senior citizens.
• Center Square in Nazareth has not always been an open space. In 1791, a Market House was built there, housing the new fire engine and a water tank. It was demolished in 1857. • For the early Nazareth subscribers to telephone service in 1896, calling Allentown was long distance.

• The first cemetery on the Nazareth tract was established at the highest point of the property in 1744. Now known as the Indian Graveyard or Indian Cemetery, its name is misleading. Of the 67 burials made there during the eighteen years it was in use, only 4 were Indians. • Organized choral music in Nazareth dates 1796, with a “Musical Society of Nazareth.” In 1886 James Leibert re-organized them as the “Nazareth Choral Union,” later the Nazareth Choral Society, active intermittently until 1965. Since 2001 the Nazareth Community Chorus continues the tradition. • The stone house at the south end of Green Street, standing by itself between industrial buildings and the ball fields, was built around 1780 as the residence for one of the Moravian farms located in that area. • What is now called the Castle Apartments was built in 1784 as a residence for the unmarried women in the community, or the Single Sisters. It was built close to Nazareth Hall so that the women could help care for the students, cooking for them and doing laundry. In return, the women were paid for their services, an unusual occurrence in Colonial America (for women to be able to earn money).
• The St. John’s Union Cemetery on South Street was begun in 1858, the first cemetery of the union congregation which became St. John’s Lutheran and St. John’s Reformed (later UCC) in 1905. As they ran out of space, the two congregations purchased property for Greenwood Cemetery on W. High Street. • Nazareth has been a tourist attraction at least since 1758, when Gov. William Denny of Pennsylvania came to Nazareth
on October 19 specifically to view the newly-erected Manor House. • In the early Moravian cemetery in Nazareth, the members were not buried in family groups. Rather, the women were buried on one side of a center pathway, and the men on the other, moving down the row as the spaces were needed. There is still a section of the current cemetery where one can be buried according to that tradition.

Mosquitoland by David Arnold
Mosquitoland is a delightful gem by David Arnold that needs to be added to all young adult genre lovers’ must-read lists. It’s a coming-of-age adventure novel of a very special young girl that will fill your heart, make you laugh, maybe make you cry, and will somehow fill you with a little bit of wanderlust, disgust, inspiration, and gusto all at once. When 16-year-old Mary Iris Malone (Mim) is forced to move to an atrocious town in Mississippi, which she refers to as Mosquitoland, with her dad and horror of a stepmother Kathy in tow, she must leave her mother and former life behind in Ohio. When the letters stop coming from Mim’s mom she becomes hell bent to find her and give her much needed help while coping with a mysterious disease back home. Throughout Mosquitoland, we follow Mim on her weeklong quest to reach her mom with a few pit stop rendezvous and new friends along the way. Mim meets some strange characters in her travels and with her witty, loquacious attitude, some deep,
thoughtful hilarity ensues. Arnold’s writing is surprisingly breathtaking; I had to reread sentences just for the thrill of processing them again. The humor that Arnold uses through the main character Mim just jumps off the pages and into your heart. Mim is the spunkiest, cheekiest, toughest little warrior of a character I have ever figuratively met, and it was a pleasure indeed to spend some time with her in Mosquitoland. Is it sad that a fictional 16 year-old is my new role model? She is a unique individual and does not hold back an ounce and I loved every single sentence spoken by her: “People just can’t help themselves when it comes to quotation marks. As if they’re completely paralyzed by this particular punctuation. I guess it’s not really that big of a deal, but it does seem to be a widespread brand of easily avoided buffoonery.” Mim should be a role model to all young adult readers as she lives by the beat of her own drum, is proud of her own weirdness, and
accepts her inner self, a hurdle that every person eventually faces and not always successfully: “I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange.” Such love and thought was put into each character by Arnold, it was a treat to see them develop on the pages and a treat to read about all the strong values throughout, such as family, friends, love, home, happiness and staying true to one’s own path. “Home is hard. Harder than Reasons. It's more a storage unit for your life and its collections. It's more than an address, or even the house you grew up in. People say home is where the heart is, but I think maybe home is the heart. Not a place or a time, but an organ, pumping life into my life. There may be more mosquitos and stepmothers than I imagined, but it's still my heart. My home.”

News Sermonette Volker Stoeckmann Valleyview Baptist Church
With another mass shooting recently, our thoughts have again been bombarded with the need for reform in 21st century America. Many are asking why all this violence? What is society coming to that the report of another cold-hearted killer appears regularly on the evening news? This problem has been with the human race ever since the first family. Adam and Eve’s firstborn son, Cain, killed his younger brother, Abel, because Abel’s sacrificed pleased God and Cain’s didn’t (Genesis 4:1-15). Wherever there is hatred, jealousy, insecurity, and selfishness there will be horrific acts of murder. Evil is bound in every one of us and there is no telling what will set it off. Terrible acts like murder, rape, abductions, torture, abuse, etc. are issues that stem from our wicked hearts. Jesus said in Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. The only matter that will restrain our desperately wicked hearts is an awareness of the moral code of God and a realization of His sure punishment of such evil. It is the lack of “God–consciousness” that is causing the evil in society to escalate. King David came to the conclusion that wickedness in his day was an indicator that there was no fear of God (Psalm 36:1). The reform that is needed in America is that we (parents, clergy, school teachers, and public officials) once again teach children and other adults that God hates murder. We must instill a fear of God in each generation by punishing evil and warning that God’s punishment is even more severe than mankind’s. The Bible is not outdated or unkind in what it says. It has the solution to deal with every problem that enters society. It is because we have strayed from God that America is in turmoil. The reform we need is to return to a respect for God that agrees with Him and doesn’t cower to the opinions of men, many of whom are soft on evil. King David had said it best in the Psalms when he said; Therefore I esteem all thy [God’s] precept concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way (Psalm 119:128).

More Than A Creed!
Pandita Ramabai, the noted Christian leader of India, joined the Church of England believing Christianity was what she needed since the religions of her country had not satisfied. She was baptized and attended church regularly for eight years. Then one day she learned that she needed to be “born of the Spirit” (John 3:6) or “born again” in order to go to heaven as Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” She accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and He changed her life completely. She discovered that it is not the church that saves, but Jesus Himself. She later said: “I had found the Christian religion, but not the Christ of the religion!” One of the most graphic verses in the Bible pictures the Lord Jesus standing at the door waiting for admittance and saying: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). Jesus will not force open the door of your heart against your will; but, if you will respond to Him and receive Him, He will satisfy your heart and change your life forever! The Bible says, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). Invite Jesus into your heart now and like Pandita, you will find that true Christianity is more than just a creed—it is “Christ in you the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). I encourage you to see www.NAOG.ws/message.htm to get some guidance on how to pray and invite Jesus into your heart.

Ten Tips To Prepare Your Home For Cold Weather
(NAPS)—With winter weather comes colder outdoor temperatures and the desire for a warm and comfortable home. Following these 10 tips will help you conserve energy, lower utility bills, increase the efficiency and longevity of your heating system and maintain comfortable temperatures in your home. 1. Seal your home. Inspect windows, doors and the exterior of your home for cracks or leaks. Caulk, patch or weather-strip any areas that might leak cold air and make your heating system work harder. Seal and insulate your ducts and replace screens with storm windows and storm doors. 2. Cover windows. Use drapes and blinds to reduce heat loss through windows. However, windows with direct sunlight may benefit from having the blinds up during daylight hours, as sunlight can help heat the space. 3. Clean gutters. Clogged gutters and drains can form ice dams that prevent your drainage system from working properly and lead to water seeping into your home. Be certain that dirt slopes away from your house to en-
sure rain or snow will drain away from the house. 4. Check your insulation. Be certain the insulation in your attic, ceilings, exterior and basement walls, floors and crawl spaces meet levels recommended for your area. 5. Reverse the direction of your ceiling fans. A fan that runs clockwise pushes warm air downward and recirculates it through the room. 6. Clean your fireplace and make sure your damper is properly sealed. You might also consider replacing an inefficient wood-burning fireplace with a more efficient wood stove or gas insert, or add glass doors with a heatair exchange system. 7. Buy Energy Star® products and bulbs to light your outdoor pathways or porches and save money. 8. Replace furnace filters regularly. Clean filters help to improve airflow and efficiency while lowering utility bills. Energy Star®, a program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recommends checking your filter every month, especially during heavy-use months, and, if it looks dirty, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every three months. 9. Schedule a furnace in-

spection. A heating professional should inspect and service your heating equipment before you begin to use it for the winter months. Heat pumps and oil-fired furnaces need annual tuneups; gas-fired equipment can be serviced every other year. 10. Buy an energy-efficient furnace or heat pump. Furnaces and heat pumps from York® are highly efficient and meet annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) or heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) ratings. In fact, the York LX Series residential gas furnace offers up to 96 percent AFUE and features
York’s industry-leading fiveyear Complete Assurance Limited Warranty, which provides optional furnace replacement in the event the heat exchanger fails within five years of installation. Compared to 10-SEER units, the premium 14SEER York residential split heat pump systems save 29 percent on energy thanks to

St. John’s Bell by MARIANNE MOSHER On September 13, 2015 the congregation of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Bath, PA observed a significant anniversary. On that date we marked the 5th anniversary of the coming together for ministry of St. John’s and members of the former Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church of Schoenersville, PA. The Schoenersville congrega-
tion had wrestled with the decision of how to continue ministry in the face of dwindling membership and resources. After prayerfully considering options they approached St. John’s about our joining together to do ministry. This came to fruition, thanks to many good people in both congregations, in September 2010. Thanks to many people we have all been blessed by this union. To mark the 5th anniversary the former tower bell of Christ, Schoenersville has been placed beside the main entrance of St. John’s. Moving and placing the bell took the

Monster tomato plant by SHARON and DAVE SHAVER A yellow cherry tomato plant is flourishing in Jacksonville, Bath. Planted in a half-barrel with Miracle Grow soil back in June, with no extra care, its branches are as long as 15 feet! This plant is one of three purchased at Dan Schantz’s Nursery. Although the other two stayed scrawny, this yellow cherry tomato plant continues to monstrously grow!
