by KAREN GABRYLUK Sacred Heart Student Council members have been busy. Members decided that the school should have a pumpkin-decorating contest. Pumpkins were donated to every student. Mrs. Bazzett oversaw students who created funny, scary and goofy pumpkin faces. Student Council members chose winners from each grade level. The winners were the following: (back) Anna Dormarunno—Kindegarten; Cara Dormarunno—3rd grade Isabella Derhammer—1st grade; (front); Michael Hodgskin—5th grade; Trent Talipan—8th grade; Clayton Basile—7th grade; Olivia Basile—4th grade; Maria Lees—6th grade. Parker Tatum, grade 2, was absent. Each of these students received a prize.
Deadline Oct. 29 for people To oppose PennEast pipeline by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
The proposed PennEast natural gas pipeline is not a done deal, some 50 persons were told at a public meeting in the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. hall on Thursday. The company has filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to construct the 118-mile pipeline, but residents along the proposed route have until October 29 to file as an intervener. Representatives of Food & Water Watch, an organization that is joining together to re-energize
landowners about the pipeline, called the meeting. Tara Zrinski said they are trying to get Pennsylvania communities united. Thirty percent have denied permission for surveys in Pennsylvania, while there are over 70% opposed in New Jersey. The 36-inch pipeline is planned to go from Luzerne County in Pa. to Mercer County in N.J., with the route going through Northampton County. “It’s where our water is, it’s where we live,” she said. PennEast had to get an extension of time when they failed to
meet the Sept. 25 deadline, and it was granted by the FERC to Oct. 8. The Bethlehem Water Authority with its 2,300-acre watershed and 10 billion gallons of water serving the Lehigh Valley, is concerned because the pipeline is within 1,000 ft. of the Wild Creek reservoir. Ms. Zrinski said in New Jersey every legislator and senator is against the pipeline, and every town along the proposed route is as well. Mike Spille of West Amwell, Continued on page 7

For an unknown reason, a local man behind the wheel of a car crashed into the front of the historic Point Phillips Hotel on Monday afternoon, Oct. 12. The driver, James Conroy, 64, apparently lost control as he was headed southwest on Point Phillips Rd. in Moore Township, mounted a curb and went airborne into the dining room of the hotel at 943 Pt. Phillips Road & Scenic Drive. Deputy Chief James Cavallo of the Moore Township Police said the man was disoriented, but not hurt in the crash. He was taken to a hospital for examination, and police said that neither drugs nor alcohol were involved. There were some employees in the building at the time of the accident, but in a back room because the hotel was closed on Mondays and they were not hurt. The accident happened at approximately 12:25 p.m. On Tuesday afternoon, workers were seen repairing the damages. It was not known the extent

Playing With Death!
Bob discovered a tiny snake in his backyard. It was just a little thing, so he brought it into his home. He thought it would make a good pet. As he listened to the local news that night, he learned a baby boa constrictor was missing from the city zoo. Bob knew he should return the snake. He knew how dangerous an adult boa was. But he enjoyed having such an unusual pet, so he continued to feed it and play with it. He promised himself that he would get rid of it before it became too dangerous. But one day the snake wound itself around Bob's body and began to squeeze. Within minutes he had been crushed to death! Like Bob, many who play with sin and tell themselves they are in control of the situation, are only fooling themselves! The Bible warns, “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13). The sinful habits and addictions related to lifestyles of alcohol, drugs, pornography, sodomy, fornication, adultery, stealing, etc. will produce death—both physical and spiritual! So often we hear of young people who suddenly die from a drug overdose. Many of them were aware of the dangers of their drug habit, but they persuaded themselves that they could handle it. The Bible declares, “He that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death” (Proverbs 11:19). The Bible proclaims, “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). I urge you to turn from the path you may be on now—a path of sin and death—to Jesus and let Him set you free. “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). Perhaps you realize that sin has you in its grip of death, but you don't know what to do to get free. The Bible says, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). Just call upon Jesus now in prayer and ask Him to help you! He will!

of those damages, but the hotel building appeared in fair condition except where the car entered. Cavallo said it appeared the driver did not apply his brakes at all before the crash and there were no skid marks on the road in front of the popular hotel tavern. The hotel building dates back to the early 1830’s. The south side was formerly a general store and the north side was a hotel and bar. Extensive renovations were done in 2013. Today, it’s all known as Point Phillips Hotel Tavern & Smokehouse, and is owned by Dan Tanczos. Moore Township Police were contacted, but it is not known if any charges will be filed. Cavallo said it’s too early to say what traffic citations, if any, Conroy will face. He lost control of the vehicle and intended no harm, the deputy police chief said.

Stop Complaining to Customers I am standing in a store waiting for someone to help me. Five minutes go by, ten minutes, finally fifteen minutes pass when I start to get restless. I go look for someone and eventually found a security guard who I ask to go find a sales associate. After he leaves and I wait another ten or fifteen minutes, a woman comes running up to me and declares “Five people called off today! I’m sick of this place. It is impossible for me to do my job with everyone out sick.” She was clearly out of control. “The owner hires idiots,” she complained. Maybe she should try these tips: 1. Try to never complain to customers, you could lose them on the spot. 2. Think or count to 10 before you lose your temper. 3. Sleep on it. A very wise person once told me that when you have had it with some and are ready to tell others how you feel; sleep on it for at least one night. 4. Talk to someone you trust first. 5. Go to the owner or manager and express your concerns. 6. Doing nothing will not work – the issues don’t go away. Recently, I went out to eat and the manager of the restaurant came over to whine to the owner about how he isn’t stepping up
to the plate, never has time for staff and is absent all of the time. That’s the kiss of death. When your staff is not happy, your customers won’t be happy and the result will hurt your cash flow. Whining might make us feel better, but in the long run it will hurt you. It’s time to change your complaints to constructive suggestions if you want long-term success. Carol S.

Updates from Marcia Hahn by MARCIA HAHN Keeping Kids Safe in Day Care: To help ensure the safety of children while in licensed child care centers, the House passed legislation recently to require one unannounced inspection of the facilities each year. House Bill 46, which I am co-sponsoring, is intended to keep operators of childcare centers on their toes. Currently, facilities are notified in advance when an inspection will occur. • Many other businesses licensed and regulated by the
state are already subject to unannounced yearly inspections, and the same scrutiny should be expected of those entrusted to care for children. The bill now moves to the state Senate for consideration. • Stemming the Tide of Dangerous New Drugs – Under legislation recently passed by the House, the state secretary of Health would have the authority to add new chemical compounds to the list of controlled substances used to manufacture illegal drugs.

would enable police to keep up with the quickly changing illegal drug market and empower them to prosecute those who possess these substances with the intent to manufacture illegal drugs. • This legislation would make it harder for these criminals to circumvent the legal system, help bring them to justice, and ultimately save lives. House Bill 608 now goes to the Senate for consideration. • Property Tax Relief – If you live in the Nazareth Area or Northampton Area School District, you may be eligible for property tax relief under a program run by the individual school district.

About St. Luke’s Women’s Imaging Centers St. Luke’s University Health Network operates 13 Women’s Imaging Centers throughout the region and the St. Luke’s Regional Breast Center in Center Valley, a state-of-the-art breast care facility specifically designed for women who need diagnostic mammograms or higher-level breast imaging. St. Luke’s breast imaging services include 3D Tomosynthesis mammography with Sensory Suite, digital screening and diagnostic mammography, automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) for dense breasts, same-day breast ultrasound, ultrasound-guided core biopsy, stereotactic core biopsy, galactography and ultrasoundguided cyst aspirations.
St. Luke’s University Health Network waives Additional cost for 3D screening Mammography by DENISE RADER A new statewide policy announced October 5, 2015 by Governor Thomas Wolf requires all Pennsylvania insurers to cover all screening mammograms, including 3D, at no out-of-pocket cost to consumers. Insurance companies have until the end of the calendar year to put this into effect. In response, St. Luke’s is taking this one step further by waiving any additional fees charged for 3D mammograms effective immediately. “We applaud the new policy and hope that more women will seek out the most appropriate breast screening option for them without the worry of an extra fee,” says Dr. Joseph Russo, Section Chief of Women’s Imaging for St. Luke’s University Health Network. Pennsylvania is the first state in the nation to require this coverage. First lady Frances Wolf made the historic announcement October 5 to the applause of hun-

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Fall is definitely here, with temperatures dipping into the low 40’s, and the colored leaves falling everywhere. It was still plenty cold on Tuesday night for the Bath Halloween parade, and folks were wearing their winter coats, and could have used those head and mouth coverings that the professional ball players have been wearing in the playoff games. One forecast I read about said winter might not be as bad as the last two. I sure hope so. Long johns aren’t enough when it gets that cold. . . . Glad to see Betty Fields around town on Monday. She had some time off from care, but is still due for a fifth surgery for her knee. Get well, Betty. . . . Happy 80th birthday to Marie Silfies Fehnel. The family and friends had a big shindig up at Little Moore Church for her on Sunday, including family who came east from Arizona. . . .Nazareth had its Halloween parade in the daytime on Saturday and Northampton will have its Jack Frost parade this Thursday night. The ghosts and goblins are riding high! . . . .Talk about high. That’s what Mets fans are on right now after they took two games right off the bat in New York over the weekend. Now they head to Chicago, where the Cubs hope to revive their bats and at least even the playoff series. Those Kansas City Royals have given the Toronto Blue Jays the same treatment. They’re playing up in Canada as I’m penning this, but they’re having the same trouble with their bats, and crucial errors, too. If things don’t change, it will be the Mets and Royals in the World Series. . . . Legion gals are having a basket social this week, so the hearts gang hadta take a week off with all those baskets filling up the tables. Herbie Silfies is heading out to Oregon to see his family, so he wouldn’t be around to play anyway for a while. . . . Maybe Warren Henning might
cook up a stew or something for the gang, to take time off from all those donuts and Tastykakes they’ve been eating. It would do Clark Smith good, says his favorite Italian, “Chick” Liberto . . . . It’s great that we’re doing our part in town with Turn Bath Pink to help out the American Cancer Society. But I was shocked to see in the paper about a walk-a-thon down in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey that raised about $1.3 million for the A.C.S. in one day. Wow! Ye Ed tells me that usta be his old vacation spot when he was young, with Jenkinson’s Pavilion and the salt water taffy on the boardwalk. . . . Community campfire up at Bath Firefighters Park this Saturday, I see. Too big for toasting marshmallows, but good to watch, something like a pep rally. . . .Ye Ed’s been so busy writing up obits lately, he’s taking off for a few days. No, it’s not on accounta that. He’s flying south for his grandson’s wedding. Enjoy the trip, Bill! . . . .Right now I’m gonna watch those Eagles on TV and hope they can tie those Giants. . . .Then on Tuesday it’s parade time. I hope you enjoyed it, everybody, and hats off to the firefighters for sponsoring it again. See ya!

by TONY ANDROKITIS (@TonyAndrock_TCG) While the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (1-2-0-0) started their first road trip of the season with a 4-1 win over the Springfield Falcons last Friday night, Saturday’s 6-4 loss to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins left the Phantoms with six players on the team’s injured
list. With a three-game weekend approaching, the Phantoms are gearing up for another road trip starting Friday night in Providence, Rhode Island against the Boston Bruins’ minor league affiliate. “In two games to lose five players, it’s not an easy hill to climb,” head coach Scott Gordon said

“Unfortunately, it’s part of the game,” alternate captain Tim Brent said about all the injuries. “I think it’s hard on guys when it’s a back-to-back game and you traveled the night before. It might be an issue as to why
after Monday’s practice, talking about the injured players over the weekend in addition to team captain Colin McDonald, who was injured on opening night. “All things considered, it showed a lot about the character of our team to not quit.” Three of the six injured players – forwards Colin McDonald (out 3-4 weeks) and Michael Parks (upper body, out at least a few weeks) and defenseman Robert Hagg (undisclosed) – have already been ruled out for this weekend’s three games in three nights set. The injuries prompted the Phantoms to add three players from their ECHL affiliate Reading Royals, with forwards Brandon Alderson, Kevin Goumas and Derek Mathers joining the team at practice on Tuesday.

Pieces of History Celebrating Nazareth’s 275th Anniversary submitted by the HISTORY COMMITTEE • “The Slate Belt Telephone and Telegraph Company of Northampton, Lehigh and Monroe Counties in the State of Pennsylvania,” which initially provided telephone service to Nazareth, was chartered in 1896. Three years later borough council gave permission to run telephone poles and wires along the streets. • Mark Knopfler, best known as the lead singer of the band Dire Straits, wrote a song called “Speedway at Nazareth” about a racing season which concluded at Nazareth Speedway. It appeared on his second solo album, Sailing to Philadelphia, released in 2000. • Christian Spring was the large farm just outside of Nazareth, established in 1747 for the unmarried men, or Single Brothers, to live, work, and learn trades. Much of the grain, food, and animals that fed the communal Nazareth and Bethlehem communities were raised there. • In the early 1950s there was an automobile showroom in the lobby of the Nazareth Inn (now Nazareth Furniture) on S. Main St. Valentine Smith and his son
had the franchise to sell KaiserFrazer automobiles. • Nazareth’s visitors have included members of royalty. On October 20, 1825, His Highness, Prince Charles Bernhard, who became the Duke of Saxe Weimar, visited Nazareth as part of his grand tour of America. • At the opening ceremonies of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, Team USA wore sweaters made of wool spun by Nazareth’s Kraemer Yarns. They were selected for the honor when Ralph Lauren pledged to create Olympic team uniforms that were entirely made in the U.S. • In October 1740, a handful of Moravian settlers completed work on the log dwelling space known as the Gray Cottage. The Gray Cottage is the oldest existing Moravian building in North America.

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
“Lydia is dead. But they don’t know this yet. 1977, May 3, six thirty in the morning, no one knows anything but this innocuous fact: Lydia is late for breakfast.” This opening line in Celeste Ng’s debut novel Everything I Never Told You is unique, refreshing, and had me immediately intrigued. Ng wastes no time to get down and dirty and spill the beans: a girl is dead. She also does not waste the reader’s time worrying about who killed Lydia; it doesn’t matter. The how and why matter so much in this story. “How had it begun? Like everything: with mothers and fathers. Because of Lydia’s mother and father, because of her mother’s and father’s mothers and fathers.” Everything I Never Told You really delves into the complexity of family and how deep damage can flow through a family tree, withering each branch and spreading the decay to the next level; it’s rather heartbreaking. The Lee family is a delicate Chinese American family teetering on the brink of completely falling apart in the 1970s. Lydia, the most-loved, perfect middle child inherited her
www.HomeNewsPA.com
mother’s beautiful blue eyes and her father’s jetblack hair. James Lee only wants the best for his children, to fit in and be the social butterflies he never could be because of his Chinese roots which led him to be an outcast as a child. Marilyn Lee always pitied her mother for being a homemaker, only she became exactly that and fears the same dull monotony to fall upon her daughter Lydia, so she pushes her to follow her failed dream of becoming a doctor. When Lydia’s body is found in the lake it doesn’t take long for the Lees to unravel. Nathan, Lydia’s intelligent older brother is convinced that Jack, the neighborhood bad boy, has something to do with his sister’s disappearance. Marilyn is sure that someone is to blame and she is hell-bent on getting to the bottom of it. James begins to question everything and turns to his overly-friendly, extremely young assistant. Little Hannah, the youngest of the siblings, stays out of sight with her watchful eyes and already seems to know everything. Ng seamlessly transports the reader from the Lees nightmarish present to snippets of the past, from pivotal memories of the parents to the last few months leading up to Lydia’s murky end. Ng writes so beautifully, you can’t help but stop and appreciate her descriptive imagery; you just want to soak it up and take a bite out of it: “Morning sun fills the house, creamy as lemon chiffon, lighting the insides of cupboards and empty closets and clean, bare floors.” Everything I Never Told You is very eye-opening to how damaging the simplest of secrets can be. “The things that go unsaid are often the things that eat at you—whether because you didn't get to have your say, or because the other person never got to hear you and really wanted to.” Ng bears her readers the perfect gift in the form of Everything I Never Told You. Even though you’re told from the very beginning what happened, I still did not see Ng’s little surprise coming at the end. Everything I Never Told You is an excellent debut novel and should not be missed by book lovers craving a deep story.

Public encouraged to join PennDOT in Preparation for upcoming winter by SEAN BROWN As cooler air and the potential for winter weather settle into Pennsylvania, the state Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today urged motorists to join the department's 4,800 operators and roughly 2,200 trucks in preparing for the season. "PennDOT's staff and equipment are working hard to be ready for winter's arrival, and drivers are a huge part of our mission to keep roads as safe as possible this winter," PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. "Motorists should prepare themselves and their vehicles now, before winter weather hits." PennDOT is responsible for more than 40,000 miles of statemaintained roadway or 96,000 snow-lane miles -- enough miles to circle the globe nearly four times. A snow-lane is calculated as the miles of road multiplied by the number of lanes, which means a one-mile section of fourlane roadway would equal four snow-lane miles. The department maintains roughly the same number of miles maintained by the state in New York, New Jersey and all of the New England states combined. "With this number of road miles, we have to prioritize our services," Richards said. "By preparing for winter weather now and making smart decisions about travel when storms are approaching, the public can help make this winter a safe one." To prepare for winter driving, especially if long-distance travel is planned, motorists should carry an emergency kit including items such as non-perishable food, water, first-aid supplies, warm clothes, a blanket, cell phone charger and a small snow shovel. However, motorists should tailor their kits to any specific needs that they or their families may have. Consider adding such items as baby supplies, extra medication, pet supplies, or even children's games. When winter weather hits, PennDOT's primary focus is on interstates and expressways, and equipment may be redirected to these routes during significant
winter events. The more traffic a roadway has, the more attention it will receive from plows, so motorists may find deeper accumulations on less-traveled routes and should adjust their driving for those conditions. If motorists encounter snow or ice-covered roads, they should slow down, increase their following distance and avoid distractions. Last winter, there were 552 crashes resulting in four fatalities and 279 injuries on snowy, slushy or ice-covered roadways where aggressive-driving behaviors such as speeding or making careless lane changes were factors in the crash. PennDOT last winter used nearly 1.2 million tons of salt on state-owned roads. Currently, PennDOT has more than 667,000 tons of salt stockpiled and will continue to take salt deliveries throughout the winter. PennDOT has agreements with 659 municipalities for them
Over 35 Yrs. Experience
to clear state roads within their borders. The department also rents approximately 270 trucks and operators to assist with snow removal. Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA. com which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 770 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website. For more information on PennDOT's winter preparations and additional winter-driving resources for motorists, visit the department's winter webpage, www.PennDOT.gov/winter.
