Pa. Liquor Control Board Invites Students to Enter Poster Contest Submitted by SHAWN KELLY In an effort to encourage young people to spread the word about the dangers of underage drinking, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is inviting students from across the commonwealth to participate in its 23rd annual Alcohol Awareness Poster Contest.

“According to the most recent Pennsylvania Youth Survey, almost half of students in sixth, eighth, 10th and 12th grades have used alcohol at least once in their lives,” said PLCB Chairman Joseph E. Brion. “Based on those survey results, it seems clear that parents and educators need to start talking to young people at an early age about underage drinking and its negative impact. This poster contest can get those young

people thinking about the choices they’ll have to make and give parents an opening to discuss what can be a difficult conversation.”

A panel of judges will select approximately 50 entries to be recognized at a ceremony in Harrisburg during Alcohol Awareness Month in April.

The artists responsible for the top designs will receive a $100 prize and their artwork will be reproduced into posters, coloring pages and/or bookmarks. Grade-level winners will receive a $50 prize.

“Students are allowed to use crayons, markers, paints, pencils or computer-generated graphics to create their unique artwork,” said Board Member Tim Holden. “The only thing we ask is that the Continued on page 9

Moore Township’s Board of Supervisors this past Tuesday, Oct. 7, briefly discussed the proposed 105-mile long natural gas pipeline that will run from the Marcellus shale area of Luzerne County to New Jersey.

It was to be a topic under new business, hopefully to schedule a meeting for residents with PennEast, since the pipeline, as planned now, will run through Moore Township just north of Bath Borough.

That may not happen, but we’ve learned that residents in the area of Whitetail Drive have received registered letters from the company alerting them of their plans.

Supervisors Chairman David Tashner said he recently attended a symposium at Cedar Crest College, when a preliminary survey on the pipeline route was aired. The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission and Northampton County are looking at it. The pipeline would come under federal jurisdiction and safety zones could be set up.

Supervisor Dan Piorkowski said there has already been some resistance in New Jersey and in Williams Township, where residents are questioning it.

Tashner said, “At this point in time it’s a wait and see game.” Secretary-Treasurer Richard Gable told reporters that he’s been getting calls from local residents concerned about the route, asking, “Where will it go? Can we stop it?”

Tashner doesn’t believe the township can stop construction of the 36-inch line, but that safety zones and setbacks would be the practical thing to do.

Medicare Open Enrollment Period Begins October 15

Submitted by: Ray Greenberg, CFP® What is the Medicare open enrollment period?

The Medicare open enrollment period is the time during which people with Medicare can make new choices and pick plans that work best for them. Each year, Medicare plans typically change what they cost and cover. In addition, your health-care needs may have changed over the past year. The open enrollment period is your opportunity to switch Medicare health and prescription drug plans to better suit your needs.

When does the open enrollment period start?

The Medicare open enrollment period begins on Oct. 15 and runs through Dec. 7.

Any changes made during open enrollment are effective as of Jan. 1, 2015.

During the open enrollment period, you can: •Join a Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) Plan.

•Switch from one Part D plan to another Part D plan.

•Drop your Part D coverage altogether.

•Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan.

•Switch from a Medicare Advantage Plan to Original Medicare.

•Change from one Medicare Advantage Plan to a different Medicare Advantage Plan.

•Change from a Medicare Advantage Plan that offers prescription drug coverage to a Medicare Advantage Plan that doesn't offer prescription drug coverage.

•Switch from a Medicare Advantage Plan that doesn't offer prescription drug coverage to a Medicare Advantage

Plan that does offer prescription drug coverage.

What should you do?

Now is a good time to review your current Medicare plan. As part of the evaluation, you may want to consider several factors. For instance, are you satisfied with the coverage and level of care you're receiving with your current plan? Are your premium costs or out-of-pocket expenses too high? Has your health changed, or do you anticipate needing medical care or treatment?

Open enrollment period is the time to determine whether your current plan will cover your treatment and what your potential out-of-pocket costs may be.

If your current plan doesn't meet your health-care needs or fit within your budget, you can switch to a plan that may work better for you.

What's new in 2015?

Most Part D plans have a temporary limit on what a

particular plan will cover for prescription drugs. In 2015, this gap in coverage (also called the "donut hole") begins after you and your drug plan have spent $2,960 on covered drugs. It ends after you have spent $4,700 outof-pocket, after which catastrophic coverage begins.

However, part of the Affordable Care Act gradually closes this gap by reducing your out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions purchased in the coverage gap. In 2015, you'll pay 45% of the cost for brandname drugs in the coverage gap and 65% of the cost for generic drugs in the coverage gap. Each succeeding year, out-of-pocket prescription drug costs in the coverage gap continue to decrease until 2020, when you'll pay 25% for covered brand-name and generic drugs in the gap.

Where can you get more information?

Determining what coverage you have now and comparing it to other Medicare plans can be confusing and complicated. Pay attention to notices you receive from Medicare and from your plan, and take advantage of help available by calling 1-800-MEDICARE or by visiting the Medicare website, www.medicare.gov.

Your financial professional can also help you find the information you need to make decisions about Medicare.

Open house on farmland Preservation in Moore

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

A two-part presentation on farmland preservation and the role of land trusts and conservancies was held at an open house on Monday night in Moore Township.

Maria Bentzoni, administrator for the Northampton County Land Preservation Board, spoke about Agricultural Security Areas (ASA) under Act 43. The ASA in Moore Township was established in May 1991 and the township at present has 4,515 acres in their agricultural security area and 1,728 acres preserved on 24 farms. Eleven farm owners have applied this year and three more are completing the process of being preserved.

Bentzoni said in order to get enrolled in an ASA, the farm landowner has to contact the township office or the Farmland Preservation Office at 14 Gracedale Ave., Nazareth, complete a one-page application and mail it to the township office at 2491 Community Drive, Bath. Then, the township votes to enroll the landowner and if approved, it is recorded at the Northampton County Recorder of Deeds office in Easton.

Statewide, the program began in February 1989. The following year, Northampton County Council appointed a five-member Farmland Preservation Board. The first farm was preserved in this county in 1993 in Lower Mt. Bethel Township.

Ms. Bentzoni said two acres of farmland are lost to residential or industrial development every minute. If this continues at that pace, she said, “We will have to import all of our food products from other countries, at almost triple the cost we now pay. And if we don’t preserve farmland, we could leave ourselves with a critical agricultural land shortage.” “Farms are vital to maintain a strong economy,” she said, “for one in seven jobs come from agriculture.“ She noted steps in preserving farmland through agricultural conservation easements, a bundle of rights. If land is developed it requires more services such as fire and police protection, schools, busing, and water needs, costing a great deal more per acre.

Asked what is an agricultural easement, she said it is a legally binding contract that runs with the land. By selling the development rights, it prevents the land from ever being developed, and a monetary amount is paid to the landowner. Usually to qualify, there is a minimum that must be met, 50 acres in of productive ground or more, or as small as 25 or 10 acres if it is connected to another farm that was previously preserved and in an Agricultural Security Area.

The board goes by a soil survey, rating it Class I through IV or prime farmland soil that

is located on the farm. They also look at clustering potential (contiguous land mass protected to support the farming community), farmland potential (how much land is in harvested cropland, pasture, and/or grazing. Size of the farm, stewardship of the land, woods or wetlands on the property), and development potential to be converted to a non-agricultural use such as residences.

The application process is voluntary and currently it is between Nov. 1 through Dec. 15 for landowners within an ASA to complete an application and return it. Ms. Bentzoni said that every application that comes in is approached by going down the list. They have on the average, five farm applications in a year. If they qualify, they move forward in the process. Approved landowners are notified, and a refundable deposit of $2,200 is required. After that she meets with the landowner(s) and reviews the process with them. The landowner is presented with the appraisal of their land and reviews it. It is based on the market value of the land. Northampton County is one of only five in the state that offers 100% of appraisal value.

There’s also a title search of the land to see if there are any liens, judgments or encumbrances. If acceptable, title insurance is then issued and they go through to settlement. Documents are signed and the deal is complete.

Land Trusts Erin McCormick, a land protection specialist from Media, spoke on land trusts and conservancies, in which they work with townships, counties and the state to preserve land.

McCormick said a conservation easement permanently protects land from further development. Landowners continue to own, use and live on the land, and it can be sold or passed on to their heirs.

As an example of appraisals she listed $300,000 as fair market value of a property unrestricted, less $200,000 the value of property with easement restrictions, making the value of the conservation easement $100,000.

On funding sources, the Pa. DCNR has a grant round per year, Northampton County has three in March, September and December up to 50% of appraised value up to $300,000, and Moore Township is 0.25% of earned income tax.

It takes one to two years to complete. An endowment contribution of $12,000 is a kind of closure. She advised landowners to have their own personal advisors for legal and financial advice.

In the end, the benefits of conserving your land, Ms. McCormick said, are leaving a legacy of open space; meeting your financial needs and goals; fulfilling your vision for the future of your land; and learning a lot about your property.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 The New Work Place

By CAROL RITTER

The new workplace; where is it, who shows up, and does it have four walls? Not so, anymore.

For years I would go and set up my computer and work for hours at Panera Bread on 512 in Bethlehem. Many times you would see the same faces, other folks looking for a cup of tea, quiet time and, more than that, increased productivity. I never thought about networking at Panera until one day when it happened by mistake. I was sitting there when a future client came to my booth and asked to sit down. He was looking for a coach and someone told him about my biz. The light bulb went on!

Here are some ideas for networking at the new workplace: •Be willing to chat and purposely look for opportunities.

•Always think about how you can trade business with no money exchanged, I do this a lot and everyone wins.

•Keep your tchotchkes handy, give something first, a pen, keychain or personalized post-it notes ready to share.

•Educate - there is a huge difference between selling and educating- keep the education piece separate - many times it leads to sales.

•Never ignore possibilities - pay attention to opportunity.

At the end of the day, isn’t the new workplace…the world? Seize the moment, get started today and if you can’t do that, just enjoy a delicious cup of cream of potato soup!

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip As predicted, it rained on Saturday. Fortunately, it was only a drizzle, and it didn’t dampen the spirits of more than 135 runners and walkers as they went on a five kilometer course through town.

They were excited and ready to go. Some of the onlookers carried umbrellas, but the runners ignored the rain and came dressed in sweat suits and even shorts. Dr. Gilroy, who is a chiropractor in town, finished first, and I believe Bath’s borough manager, Tom Petrucci, came in third. Hats off to everybody who was there and made it a success – even Mayor Fi’s surgeon, when she had cancer. . . .By the way, Fi and Marcia Hahn went out to Harrisburg last week, and Fi was introduced to the House of Representatives for her Turn Bath Pink drive. Then all 265 of the State Representatives were given one of those special doughnuts that were made with pink ribbon icing – 1,200 in all, I hear. . . .Helen McKeever, who lives on a farm up in Danielsville, told members of her 1948 graduating class on Friday that when she went to Germany this summer to spend time with friends, one came in from Nigeria. Helen’s son was really wary about the Ebola virus in Africa, and that the person might have been infected, so he steered clear of Helen for a couple weeks. Fortunately, everything turned out okay, and there was no problem. . . . Local man also could relax after sweating out an incident. Seems he left his son’s dog outside after he was unknowingly put on dog-sitting assignment, then went to watch a baseball game for more than an hour without thinking about the dog. He suddenly realized it, searched all around the neighborhood with his car, and not finding “Brit” called his son on the cell phone, who returned home in a flash. He went out on the search with a flashlight, and fortunately had help from motorists and neighbors, and the dog was located safe and sound. Pop

and were among the winners of The Fresh Air Fund’s 2014 Photo Contest! All winners were selected from the hundreds of pictures sent in by volunteer host families across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada, reflecting the memorable experiences they shared with their New York City visitors this past summer. Categories include “Laketime Fun,” “Summer Siblings,” “By the Beach,” and “Fresh Air Foodies.”

The Joseph family’s photo was determined the winner in the “Horseback Riding” category, and features Fresh Air visitor Hussan, age eight, experiencing the fun of horseback riding in

Pennsylvania. Fresh Air children experience simple pleasures like running barefoot through the grass, swimming in a cool lake, and gazing at star-filled skies. Through the eyes of Fresh Air children, families often rediscover the beauty of their own communities.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from lowincome communities since 1877. For more information on hosting a Fresh Air child next summer, please contact Alice Hornbake at 610-7033095, or visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org.

Hussan, of Brooklyn, enjoyed spending the day horseback riding while visiting his Fresh Air host family. Hussan spent two weeks with the Josephs, of Nazareth, this past August as part of The Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program.

“Underage drinking continues to be a significant issue in the commonwealth,” said Robert S. Marcus, PLCB member. ”We want young people to know that it’s not cool, it’s not acceptable and it’s not a rite of passage for students to drink alcohol before they’re 21.

administrative policy with Police Chief Trachta. He would also serve as “internal affairs” for the police department.

Mayor Strye reassured borough residents that Council's efforts to work toward a better police department will be seen in the future. Former Northampton Sheriff Ran-

dall Miller was voted in as the new Deputy Chief at the meeting. He was in attendance and was briefly introduced by Council. Miller will work 32 hours per week at a part time rate of $40 an hour.

The new deputy chief will set up an office in the former detective office.

Both Miller and Police Chief Trachta will attend a seminar in Bucks County for a “managing a professional police department.” This is, presumably, a move that coincides with Mayor Strye's statement back in August that Council would institute a “laundry list” of changes within the department.

In other police department related information given at the meeting, two new iPads were approved for purchase.

Also, officers Lahovski and Shimer were authorized to attend a training to put toward their necessary 40 hours of training. Council approved the necessary mayoral replacement for undercover drug purchases assigning it to council president Daniel Chivaroli. The mayor is typically the person who the borough police would go to for authorization and approval.

The Landlord and Tenant ordinances that council recently approved for 2015-2016 will be advertised. The contentious issue that seemed to stir an otherwise uneventful workshop meeting last week was passed in a 6 to 1 vote.

Councilman Larry Stoudt, who seemed heated about the issue last week cast the only “No” vote.

The annual Halloween parade and Fire Prevention Week donations were approved and passed. The 2014 Pennsylvania Fireman's Relief state aid was certified and turned over. The amount totaled $37,850.06.

In public property and finance business, multiple bills for the pool construction were

passed. The annual tree lighting ceremony's location at the circle for December 4 at 7:00 p.m. was approved. The Child Watch Group of the YMCA's annual Halloween event was also approved.Motions to approve borough's $300 donation to the community chorus and hiring of Joseph Trella as the new Human Resource consultant was approved. The Borough's 2014 state pension aid was certified and accepted for a total of $43,114.69.

The stump grinder purchase on the agenda was approved for purchase at a cost of $6,763.82. As stated at the last meeting, 50 percent of the ecology budget will be used for the purchase.

The new firewall and “pocket cop client” software were

approved as an update for the borough's security system.

The new firewall costs totaled $541.90 and the software that will be used for three computers will be $1,444.00. The software will need license renewals each year.

Marcia Hahn To Host D&A Awareness Event

Use of drugs and alcohol remains a growing problem in our society, and it is not confined to adults. Statistics show drug use to be on the rise among our youth, and while statistics show teen alcohol consumption is declining, the numbers indicate it is still a serious problem.

This Thursday, Oct. 16, I will be hosting an awareness program for parents to help them recognize the signs of abuse.

This forum begins at 6:30 p.m. at Bushkill Elementary School, 960 Bushkill Center Road, Nazareth.

This is not an easy topic to discuss; however, it is easier to discuss in a forum like this with trained professionals on hand to answer your questions.

They had the League’s top pitcher, Bob Zerfass (8-0), the home-run champion, Nate King (7), and the Sportsmanship Award winner, George Pitsilos. The team had 11 hall of fame members on the team: manager Earl Driesbach, George Cobb, Tim Fisher, Gary Jerabek, John King, Jim Lees, Ted Meixell, George Pitsilos, Bill Sakovics, Frank Zellner and Bob Zerfass.

The Hall of Fame Committee, consisting of Bob Schuster, John Bisco, Jack Kinney, Mike Mihalik, Andy Pitsilos, Geoge Pitsolis, Tim Schwarz, Dave Stoudt, and Tom Stoudt, Sr. is proud to present the 2014 inductees to the Blue Mountain League Hall-ofFame: Mike Bodnar- A tough out, Mike played 16+ years in the Blue Mountain League, amassing a career average of .316, with over 50 home runs for the Orioles and the Northampton Giants. He played on the 1992 and 1994 championship teams with Northampton.

Gary Laubach- While Gary is today best known for his work on and off camera at RCN, Gary was an outstanding pitcher in the mid to late 1960s. Unfortunately, only sparse statistics are available from those years. The statis-

tics we do have show what a fine pitcher he was.

In 1967, Gary was 10-0 for Easton, capturing the League’s Outstanding Pitcher Award. The following season, he compiled a 6-2 won-lost record.

Jesus Visited Hermann In Prison

In his inspiring autobiography, Living A Life of Fire, Reinhard Bonnke, the German evangelist whom God has used to win 75 million Africans to Jesus Christ in the past 25 years, tells how Jesus appeared to his father, Hermann, in a British prisoner-of-war camp near Kiel, Germany. Hermann had been an officer in the Reichswehr, but had never joined the Nazi Party. Hitler’s extermination of Jews appalled him. As a Pentecostal believer, he had regarded the Jews as the chosen people through whom God had revealed the Messiah, the Savior of all mankind. Hermann had been in this prison camp for 279 days. He longed for and prayed for his wife, Meta, and his six children. He had repeatedly inquired of their safety from the Red Cross but learned nothing.

Recalling Isaiah 53:6, “the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all” tears ebbed from Hermann’s eyes as his heart reached out to God in prayer.

“My heavenly Father, I am Yours for the remaining years of my life. It is my heart’s desire to preach Your gospel and to serve You alone, until the day I see You face to face.” He heard a door open and close. Someone began walking across the floor. Was it a British guard? He stood to face him, and to his utter shock it was a man in white, wearing a seamless robe and Middle Eastern sandals. He was smiling as He moved toward him, hands extended as if to embrace him. Hermann reached out and saw a wound in His hand.

“Hermann, I am so glad you are coming,” the Master said, then vanished! Hermann fell to his knees and wept. His soul overflowed with “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding” (Philippians 4:7). Until this moment it had seemed inconceivable that an imprisoned soldier of the Third Reich could receive the smile of the Lamb of God and that the Savior would express His pleasure at his desire to serve Him as a minister of the gospel. This encounter burned in his heart until the day he died.

Surviving are four sisters, Sophie Patchinka of Catasauqua, Anna Krawchuk of Philadelphia, Catherine Terleski of Catasauqua, and Margaret Matika of Allentown; several nieces and nephews.

What Might Have Been…

What might have been had I made a different choice?

Could I have avoided unpleasant consequences? What if I hadn’t uttered those harsh words? What if I had been just a few minutes earlier? Would the accident have happened?

What if I had been the first to quote the job? What if I had saved that bonus check rather than spending it? What if I had decided to stop and help rather than zooming by? Is guilt now stealing what could have been a blessing?

“What might have been…” is a question we can ponder endlessly. Chances are there will be no conclusive answer.

We can only suppose how different things might have been had we taken that job offer, or gotten out of bed a earlier, or spent our money with a bit more discretion. We can ponder what might have been regarding our decisions... but we are also affected by the choices made by those around us.

Many of the “what might have been’s” are likely insignificant. Yet, sometimes the little things can make a huge difference. Consider the account of one of America’s presidents, William McKinley when he was planning to appoint an ambassador to a foreign country. Two candidates were under consideration—their qualifications almost equal.

President McKinley searched for some kind of measurement whereby he might decide the true greatness of the men in question.

He later confided that the self-centeredness of the one and the kindness of the other were the deciding factors in his decision. Many years before when McKinley was a representative in Congress, he had boarded a street car at rush hour and managed to get the last vacant seat. Shortly thereafter an elderly woman carrying a large basket boarded the train. She walked the length of the car and stood in the aisle clutching her basket, hardly able to stand as the car swayed from side to side as it sped down the tracks.

No one offered her a seat. One of the men whom the president was now considering for the ambassadorship was sitting opposite where the elderly woman was standing.

McKinley noticed that he shifted his newspaper in order to avoid eye contact with the lady. Seeing the lady’s predicament, McKinley rose to his feet, walked down the aisle, took her basket, and offered her his seat. The candidate never knew that his small act of selfishness had deprived him of perhaps the crowning honor of his lifetime. As the president considered his options, he recalled that incident and decided to appoint the other man as his ambassador.

“What might have been...” —wasn’t. A failure to show kindness when the opportunity afforded itself cost him the position. Every minute of every day opportunities may present themselves to us. If we choose wisely how to handle them there is no need to fret and wonder “what might have been.”

We can move ahead with confidence. “What is” is good… and the question “what might have been” will go unasked!

In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, William J., of Whitehall; and two granddaughters.

Preceding him in death were siblings Joseph, Charles, Alfred, John and Mary.

Services were held on Monday morning in the Robert A. Hauke Funeral Home, Coplay, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial in Queenship of Mary Church, followed by interment with military honors in Our Lady of Hungary Cemetery, Northampton.
