Chairman of the Board of Supervisors David Tashner supported the idea, saying, “Give them as much time as they need to get the job done right.” Rodney Jarinko motioned to suggest the extension to the Moore Township Board of Supervisors and Maureen Romano seconded it. Bob Romano of the Land Preservation Board took a moment to discuss the need for further interaction between the EAC, Land Preservation Board and Planning Commission, stressing the importance of the Land Preservation Board and the strict Continued on page 2

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS
the problems facing our country? Once upon a time, did not each party have a platform addressing concerns for our nation? We the voters, the taxpayers, are all but forgotten. This election has become a circus. The presidential candidates would rather talk about each other than about the issues. We the voters are all but forgotten except that we come out and vote. How about convincing us that our concerns for our country will be recognized and dealt with? Then we would have a valid reason to vote. Alice R. Yeakel, Nazareth

Michael Lilly of Nazareth participates in research that wins first place prize in American College of Physicians competition Submitted by ELIZABETH ZYGMUNT The American College of Physicians recently notified fourthyear medical student, Michael Lilly of Nazareth, that research in which he participated was awarded first place in ACP's medical student poster competition for ACP's Pennsylvania eastern region. Lilly and fellow students at The Commonwealth Medical College in Scranton conducted research on "Core needle biopsy prior to breast cancer surgery in northeast Pennsylvania: prevalence and barriers to uniform application" under the supervision of TCMC faculty, Jay Bannon, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.A.S.C.R.S., clinical professor of surgery and Samuel M. Lesko, M.D., M.P.H., professor of family medicine and epidemiology. Core needle biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure for patients with a potential breast cancer diagnosis. It is presently considered a standard of care for patients prior to undergoing breast cancer surgery. The students examined cancer registry records for patients seen at a community hospital in northeastern Pennsylvania and found the incidence of core needle biopsy was lower
as compared to Pennsylvania as a whole, but still met the American College of Surgeons standard of 80 percent. The research suggests that the type of health insurance may be one important barrier to the performance of less-invasive biopsies. Students presented a poster of the research at an ACP meeting on Oct. 1. The Commonwealth Medical College is one of the nation's newest fully accredited medical colleges. TCMC offers a community-based model of medical education with campuses in Scranton, Sayre, Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport. TCMC offers a Doctor of Medicine, Master of Biomedical Sciences, and MD/ Master of Public Health dual degree. The college's innovative curriculum, focused on caring for people in the context of their lives and their community, attracts the next generation of physicians and scientists from within its 17-county region in northeast and north central Pennsylvani,a as well as from across the state and the nation. The Commonwealth Medical College is committed to nondiscrimination in all employment and educational opportunities. Visit tcmc.edu.

The following incident was investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police Bethlehem barracks. On October 11, troopers were dispatched to On the Border restaurant, located on Airport Road, for a burglary alarm. Upon arrival, it was determined that the business was secure, no one was on location and therefore it was a false alarm. It was then ascertained that this was the eighth such false alarm for this business within the same consecutive sixmonth period.

Television It seemed all my friends had a television set in 1949. My father, however, was very reluctant to invest in this new phenomenon. For a time, I’d rush home from school and go to a neighbor’s house to watch Bandstand, which was a local show out of Philadelphia and the forerunner of American Bandstand. Another program I liked was Frontier Playhouse, which showed around 4 p.m. After nagging my father about my longing for our own TV, he eventually gave in and bought a Philco set. It was a combination television, radio and record player. My father hooked up the antenna pole and the first show we saw when the set warmed up was The Gabby Hayes Show. I was excited to be able to view TV shows in my own living room. When we wanted to switch to another station, my job was to run outside and turn the antenna by hand- east for New York stations or south for Philadelphia stations. We received only three channels, but it seemed enough for us at the time.
Grow UR Biz Seven ideas to recharge your biz
One of my friends said, “Most people don’t change until staying the same becomes too hard.” This is true, but reinventing yourself is important to being a successful 21st century business. There are two ways to change or reinvent yourself. One is that you add new services or items to your business or two, you create something new and exciting that stands alone. I think that many of us may stop marketing as soon as we land a new customer or a new client. The reason might be because marketing, educating and selling sometimes is uncomfortable. Don’t be boring. I remember when my kids would say to me, “I’m bored” and I would answer, “Boredom is a state of mind you’ve created for yourself.” Don’t let your business get boring. So many times business owners say, “I want to be bigger than or better than my competition.” Well, that takes the chutzpah to do more than the day-to-day tasks of your biz. The networking needs to be constant, the marketing needs to be constant, the educating needs to be a constant and it has to be at the forefront of everything you do. Recently I had lunch with a friend and he told me his company wants to go from a regional firm to a national firm. Let’s look at what needs to be done to make this happen:
1. Hire a marketing guru. 2. Build a new, state-of-the
art website.
3.
Begin to incorporate the goal (going national) into everything you do.
4.
And, spend the money it takes to make this happen. That’s generally the stopping block. ($$$) I want to go national but I don't want to invest in it. I want to go national but I don’t want to take a risk. I want to go national but I don’t want to give any more energy to the project.

Budget dollars for the new initiative, hire people to help you. If you are a construction firm, you may not have marketing skills, so hire.
3.
Create a competitive edge (offer something no one else has).
4.
Keep your employees in the loop; they are your best allies.
5.
Don’t forget innovation and being on the cutting edge of your expertise.
6.
Have flexibility. This is easy to say but hard to maintain. Be flexible; be willing to ‘course correct’ when things go south.
7.
Leverage your relationships. Call, meet with and contact anyone and everyone who can help you achieve your goal. One great example of a 21st Century business is Uber. We all talk about it, some of us use it and some of us are still thinking about it. But Uber is replacing the good old yellow cab everywhere, especially big cities. Uber is an American worldwide online transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco. It develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile "app" which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request that the software program then automatically sends to the Uber driver nearest to the consumer, alerting the driver to the location of the customer.
Uber is: • Not boring • New expertise • Someone invested in this • Innovative • Cutting edge • Not much competition (yet) • Knocking it out of the park nationwide

Wikileaks emails reveal alleged Clinton transcripts
Opinion By JUSTIN SWEITZER After a Democratic primary fight, which saw Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) condemn Hillary Clinton for her close ties to Wall Street banks, emails released by Wikileaks seem to confirm some of the senator’s fears, but feature no earth-shattering revelation that could damage the Democratic nominee’s candidacy. The journalistic organization infamous for publishing secret material recently leaked thousands of emails from the personal email account of John Podesta, the chairman of Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. The emails released by Wikileaks include what are alleged to be transcripts from Clinton’s paid speeches to Wall Street banks and other corporations, speeches which tout her appreciation for large financial powers, while also revealing her support for more progressive ideals such as singlepayer healthcare systems. According to Wikileaks, in a speech to Goldman Sachs on Oct. 24, 2013 Clinton said, “There was a lot of complaining about Dodd-Frank, but there was also a need to do something because for political reasons, if you were an elected member of Congress and people in your constituency were losing
jobs and shutting businesses and everybody in the press is saying it's all the fault of Wall Street, you can't sit idly by and do nothing, but what you do is really important.” The quote, which centers around the actions of Congress following the 2008 financial crisis, reveals Clinton’s belief that legislators faced a political responsibility to address the actions of Wall Street that hurt the nation’s economy to potentially save face. She went on to stress that the work of Wall Street banks is “really important.” It’s not the bombshell that Sanders was probably looking for during his candidacy, but it does confirm some of the suspicions of the fiscally liberal Sanders who hammered Clinton for accepting contributions from large financial giants. Clinton also said in a speech to Deutsche Bank in 2014 that rather than place stronger regulations against Wall Street, proper fixes would have to come from Wall Street itself, a strategy which is likely a stretch in an industry concerned with making the most money in whatever ways will benefit them the most. Clinton said, “Today, there's more that can and should be done that really has to come from the industry itself, and how we can strengthen our economy, create more jobs at a time where that's increasingly challenging, to get back to Teddy Roosevelt's square deal. And I really believe that our country and all of you are up to that job.” It calls into question whether Clinton is really behind her calls for regulation, or if it is a political stunt to gain support from progressives. Clinton also addressed questions regarding her relatability in a 2014 speech in which she described herself as “far removed” from struggles of the middle class,
a statement which will not help her among that crucial sector of voters. Fortunately for Clinton, a consistent theme within the emails was the need for balance and accountability, especially in regard to Wall Street. If the transcripts turn out to be true, they show that Clinton was forthright with Wall Street, believing that they need to be
held accountable for risky financial behavior. “If there are issues, if there's wrongdoing, people have to be held accountable and we have to try to deter future bad behavior, because the public trust is at the core of both a free market economy and a democracy,” Clinton told Deutsche Bank in 2014. Clinton will live to fight an-
other day, and has, thus far, easily survived the Wikileaks email dumps that have aimed not only at transparency, but to derail her campaign. Whether or not the organization finds something damaging enough is to be seen, but for now Clinton is sitting back enjoying a sizeable lead in the polls as Election Day gets closer.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip It’s Halloween parade time! Nazareth had their’s on Saturday morning. It might not be spooky in daylight, but I think more enjoyable when the sun is shining, so you can see every detail. And, too, it’s better for taking pictures. The Bath Firefighters will be having their parade this Tuesday night. I’m writing this ahead of time, but here’s wishing the weather was good. Supposedly, we’ll be having an Indian Summer. It warmed up some this week, so nothing frigid like most other years. Northampton Exchange Club’s Jack Frost Parade is on Thursday night. I hope our paper has some pictures to go with the stories, but Ye Ed was out of action for the first time he can remember. . . .Trick-or-treat time will all be around Halloween at the end of the month, Oct. 28 or 29 or 30, so it’ll no doubt be colder by then.. . . There’s still a chill in the air, but not down to the 32 degrees of the Lake Wallenpaupack area, where fall has really set in with the coloring of leaves. We’ve a bit less here in colored leaves, but they’ll catch up. For my money, let ‘em stay up on the trees for another month or so. . . . Folks who have been driving over to Jersey to save money on gas will be paying about what we do here, when their gas tax goes up 23-cents in November. . . . The playoffs are going strong. I didn’t think Cleveland could beat Toronto in two straight games, but they did and the Canadians are hoping to recuperate now that they’re back home. The Cubs are gonna have a tough time with Chase Utley, Carlos Ruiz and the rest of those L.A. Dodgers. Local fellow, born on the day that the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the New York Yankees in the World Series, is a Dodger rooter. . . . Eagles fans are sorta in the doldrums now that their team is struggling. Stop making all those penalties, I say. . . . They got rid of Sam Braddock, and look what he’s doing with the undefeated Minnesota Vikings, who the Eagles play on Sunday. I don’t know what political campaign is hotter – Pat Toomey and
Katey McGinty for U.S. Senate, or Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for president, but they’re burning up the boob tube. It’s making me sleepy. Elmira has supper ready, so time to chow down. Have a great time at the parades!!

Planning Commission Holds Monthly Meeting By KERI LINDENMUTH The Bath Planning Commission held their monthly meeting on Monday, October 17, in the council chambers of the Bath Municipal Building. On the agenda for the evening was a discussion of the revisions made by the borough engineer to the plan for 224 West Main Street. The borough received a grant to purchase the property. After receiving a donated parcel of land from the borough’s fire department, the borough is now able to swap the West Main Street property with the fire department property to meet open space conditions. “Ultimately, I think we are in a position to make a recommendation tonight,” said James Kratz, the commission’s solicitor. Revisions to the plan included language, clarity, and easement access for the West Main Street property. The commission motioned to approve the plan for recommendation as long as revisions are made, and access to the easements on the property are adequately shown on the revised plan. The next Planning Commission meeting will be held on November 21.

“Ministering Spirits”
It was the year 1955. Pastor George L. Greer, now deceased, was driving alone from Mabank, Texas to Dallas for a sectional minister’s meeting. While on the rather long stretch of highway between Mabank and Kaufman, he suddenly realized he had a flat tire and immediately steered the car off the pavement. The tire was completely flat and would have to be changed, but he didn’t have a jack. The community was new to him, and he didn’t know how far he would have to go for help. He looked up and down the highway, but there was not a car in sight, and no gas station. Not even a house. Only wide open fields. Suddenly, from what seemed to be out of nowhere, a jeeptype car pulled up and two young men leaped out and stood by his side. Speaking kindly, one of them said. “We see you have a problem, Reverend, and we have come to help you.” They immediately produced the necessary tools, and went to work. When the minister offered to help them, the one who had not spoken said, “No, no Sir, you will soil your clothes, and it is our business to help ministers.” They quickly changed the tire but when the minister turned to thank them, there was no one there! Both young men and their vehicle were gone. Once more he looked both up and down the highway, and no one was in sight. He was completely alone. Could they have been angels, he wondered recalling the passage in Hebrews 1:14, “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” - Related by Lucy, wife of Pastor George Greer

Lead Poisoning Week is Oct. 23-29- Learn How to Protect Your Home and Family
Submitted by ROY SENECA Lead Poisoning Prevention Week is Oct. 23-29 and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency wants to make families more aware of the hazards of lead and lead-based paint in the home and in childcare facilities. This year’s theme is “Lead-Free Kids for a Healthy Future” and will focus on ways to reduce a child’s exposure to lead and prevent its serious health effects. “Lead poisoning is a dangerous environmental health threat in the U.S. for children ages six and younger, but there are things you can do to protect your family,” said EPA Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin. “These include getting your child tested, testing your home’s drinking water and testing your home for lead in paint, dust or soil.” You may have lead around your home without knowing it because you can’t see, taste or smell it. Lead does not break down naturally and it can remain a problem until it is removed. Before we knew how harmful it could be, lead was used in paint, gasoline, water pipes and many other products. Now that we know these dangers, house paint is almost lead-free, leaded gasoline has been phased out and household plumbing is no longer made with lead materials. EPA has taken regulatory steps aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, contractors, landlords, window reContinued on page 13

placement firms and other trades performing renovation, repair and paintings projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, schools and other child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must be certified. These contractors must also follow lead-safe work practices and provide homeowners with the EPA informational booklet, “Protecting Your Home from the Hazards of Lead-based Paint,” prior to starting any remediation work. The RRP does not apply to individuals doing work on their own home. However, EPA recommends that lead-safe work practices be followed for these
projects as well. Currently, owners of residential rental properties built before 1978 must disclose known information on lead-based paint hazards before selling a house. Sales contracts must include a disclosure form about lead-based paint. Buyers have up to 10 days to check for lead hazards. How does lead affect a child’s health? The long-term effects of lead in a child can be severe. They include learning disabilities, decreased growth, hyperactivity, impaired hearing and even brain damage. If caught early, these effects can be limited by reducing exposure to lead or by medical treatment. Pregnant women should avoid exposure to lead because it can pass through a woman’s body into the unborn baby. The good news is there are simple things you can do to help
protect your families: 1. Get your child tested. You can’t tell if a child has lead poisoning unless you have him or her tested. A blood test takes only 10 minutes and results should be ready within a week. To find out where, call your doctor or local health clinic. 2. Keep it clean. Ordinary dust and dirt may contain lead. Children can swallow lead or breath lead contaminated dust if they play in dust or dirt and then put their fingers or toys in their mouths, or if they eat without washing their hands first. Keep the areas where your children play dust-free and as clean as possible. Make sure your children wash their hands before meals, nap time and bedtime. 3. Reduce the risk from lead paint. Most homes built before 1978 contain leaded paint. This paint could be on window frames, walls, the outside of your house or other surfaces. Tiny pieces of peeling or chipping paint are dangerous if eaten. Make sure your child does not chew on anything covered with lead paint, such as painted windowsills, cribs or playpens. Don’t burn painted wood, it may contain lead. 4. Don’t remove lead paint yourself. Lead dust from repairs or renovations of older buildings can remain in the building long after the work is completed. Hire a person with special training for correcting lead paint problems. 5. Eat right. A child who gets enough iron and calcium will absorb less lead. Foods rich in iron include eggs, lean red meat and beans. Dairy products are high in calcium. For more information, please go to: www.epa.gov/lead or call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-LEAD, that’s 1-800-424-5323.

www.customhomegroup.com This month is a perfect time to plan and decide how to design your kitchen and bathroom. Just as the air becomes crisp and the leaves begin to fall you can design these rooms and have them finished by Christmas. Here are a few ideas and inspirations to keep in mind while you plan. Don’t be afraid to have a large or complex plan. You can always discuss these ideas with a contractor and they will make it work for your home.
Kitchen Ideas
If you are planning on designing or remodeling your kitchen on your own there is a lot to consider. First off, you will need to think about what kind of patience you have. Will you become unbelievably frustrated when the color is matte instead of glossy? What if the sink fixtures don’t match
the countertops? If this is you, you may want to reconsider your DIY adventure. If you will see every obstacle as a new opportunity, however, then DIY may be perfect. Once you have made that decision you will want to decide on a game plan. What is the best project to tackle first? Depending on what you decide, your job can be difficult or simple. I suggest asking for advice at your local hardware store. They will give you plenty of tips and will have a lot of ideas for you to make your kitchen perfect. Then, be sure that when you start you will not look back. Always finish a DIY project on your home. Otherwise your kitchen will look odd and well, amateur.
Bathroom Ideas
There is a lot you can do in a bathroom to make it more
comfortable and interesting. First you will want to understand the dimensions of the room and the color palette. From there you will learn how you can work within the room and what will flow well. Storage is a main part of any bathroom. While you may not think of a bathroom as storage, you keep everything from tub toys to make-up in your small space. Make sure the bathroom makes sense and will have as much room as possible by using storage wisely. For those with custom homes, you can create built-in tub storage. The walls around the tub will be hollow and have storage shelves that go around the tub’s core. This way you can hold tub toys, shampoos, shaving cream, and soap out of your line of sight but still know where everything is.
