Human ribbon dedicated To cancer awareness
130 participants formed a human ribbon in Bath.
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News A forecast of strong winds factored into a slight change of plans, but more than 130 people took part in forming a human ribbon for cancer awareness on Saturday morning on the grounds of George Wolf Elementary School. It was another major event in Turning Bath Pink in Bath Borough, planned by Mayor Fiorella Reginelli-Mirabito for October. Instead of a plane flying overhead to photograph the event, the Bath Firefighters came to the rescue with their aerial ladder truck. A photographer from Bath, Lori Stack, who has 30 years in the retail camera business, gingerly climbed the ladder, with a firefighter closely behind her in case there was a slip. The day started out cool and cloudy with a few drops of rain, but just as the filming was to be accomplished, the sun came out. The participants in the “ribbon” waved to her as she maneuvered her cameras into place between the rungs of the ladder. Mayor Mirabito thanked Councilwoman Michelle Ehrgott for making the arrangements and all those who participated.“It means so much to me,” said the Mayor, who is a cancer survivor. A total of more than $293 was given by people who signed up for the ribbon. The Mayor also invited the public to attend the auction this Saturday and Sunday at the Bath Fire Social Hall, when there will be lots of prizes and things auctioned off. $1,000 was donated by St. Luke’s Health Network for the auction. Also speaking over the fire truck’s public address system was Carol Ritter of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce. Through that organization a miniature drone from Fire Rock Productions flew overhead and also captured the scene. It will be shown in 2015 on lvcc. com, said Ms. Ritter.

Cemetery marks 285th anniversary
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Horner’s Cemetery in East Allen Township has existed since 1748, and over the years suffered deterioration from the elements. But thanks to volunteers from the Horner Cemetery Historical Society putting in endless hours of restoration work, it is a beautiful plot of grass and headstones, most of which date
back to its origin, and surrounded by a stone wall. The cemetery is the oldest in Northampton County and is called Horner’s Cemetery in honor of Jane Horner, a 58-year-old woman who was killed by Indians as she carried coal for her family. Most of those buried there lived in the Scot-Irish Settlement between Bath and Northampton. The first person to rest in
the cemetery was James King, who died April 30, 1745 at the age of 38. The society on Saturday had an open house for people to see the restoration and to mark the cemetery’s 285th anniversary. Tours were held between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., led by Peggy Moser, who was dressed in Colonial attire. She told the visitors of the family genealogy of many whose
names are on the headstones, and noted that the cemetery represents the only reminder of such an important and influential group of people from the early settlement. Luther Walck of the society told about the Scot-Irish Settlement. The visitors were given a brochure in which they were informed that planning and Continued on page 2

research for the cemetery restoration started in 2008
using old maps and original documents from the Presbyterian Church Archives Center in Philadelphia. Actual restoration started a year later, repairing tombstone and one section of the stone wall, removing dead trees, and countless hours of mowing grass. Also provided was a sheet on “Houses of the Craig’s Settlement”, which include the following in both Bath and East Allen Township: • Joseph Horner’s House on Rt. 512 just outside Bath (1790) • Kerr-Brown House, first owned by James Kerr, then General Robert Brown (late 1700) • Dech House on Weaversville Rd., now owned by the state (1704) • James Clyde-Kennedy Homestead, part of a tree farm on Rt. 512 (1780) • Hugh Horner’s House, 7465 School Rd., Bath (1782)

Becker Memorial Concert at St. John’s United Church of Christ, 183 S. Broad Street, Nazareth, on Sunday, Nove. 9, at 4 p.m. When not touring, Mr. Conte performs on the sixmanual, 28,000 pipe Wanamaker instrument twice daily, six days per week. The Wanamaker Organ is the largest fully functioning musical instrument in the world. Appointed Grand Court Organist in 1989, Peter Richard Conte is only the fourth person to hold that title since the organ was first played in 1911. His concerts contain audience favorites, with many personally transcribed popular pieces from symphonies, Broadway shows and opera. Mr. Conte has been featured several times on National Public Radio, ABC’s “Good Morning, America,” and “World News Tonight.” His monthly radio show, “The Wanamaker Organ Hour” airs on the first Sunday of each month at 5 p.m., and can also be heard via the internet at WRTI.ORG. Peter Richard Conte has performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, and with the Delaware and Allentown Symphonies. He performs extensively throughout the United States and Canada under the management of Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists. He was a featured artist at the American Guild of Organists’ National Convention in 2002 and at the
International Organ Festival in Aosta, Italy, in 2004. His great skill and innovative style is enjoyed by everyone – not just organists and organ buffs. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, and may be purchased at the door, or for more information visit the church website www.sjuccnaz.org As an added treat, a tasty Gourmet Soup and Sandwich Supper by Chef Alan Kern will be offered immediately following the concert with entrees including stuffed baked potato soup, chicken tortilla soup, black forrest ham and smoked gouda cheese sandwich, roast beef on ciabatta bread with mozzarella and tomato, and chicken parmigana hero, with assorted salads and desserts.

Phantoms’ Opening Night A Success By TONY ANDROCKITIS The Home News Sports
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms gave a sellout crowd of 8,647 fans quite the show on opening night at the PPL Center Friday night, defeating the Adirondack Flames 4-3 in overtime. The win improved the Phantoms record to 2-0 on the season, and forward Andrew Gordon stressed the importance of getting off to a good start early on in the season. “Winning is a habit,” Gordon said. “You work hard and see results and that becomes what you do the next day. Winning breeds more success and I think if you nurture it, work hard and you make sure you’re rewarding guys for doing the right things and we’re getting the results, it’ll take care of itself.” Scott Laughton was the game’s first star, opening the scoring in the first period and tying the game late in the 2nd period with a pair of power play goals. He followed up Friday’s two-goal performance with two more tallies in Saturday night’s 4-2 loss. The rookie forward was quick to mention the fans after Friday night’s overtime win. “You get the chills at the start of the game seeing everyone,” Laughton said. “That’s an NHL atmosphere
right there and it doesn’t get any better than that.” At 2-1 on the season after splitting the home-and-home series with the Flames over the weekend, the Phantoms have another busy weekend ahead of themselves, hosting intra state rival Hershey on Friday night before traveling to Binghamton on Saturday for another East Division battle with the Senators. The Phantoms finish off the weekend with a Sunday trip to Hershey to face the Bears at Giant Center. Hershey is a former team of Gordon’s, who has been on successful teams with large fan bases such as the Bears and the St. John’s IceCaps in recent years. He gave good insight on what it is like to play for a new team in a new town. “This is so fresh and brand new it seems like there’s a fresh energy here,” Gordon said. “People are excited to see hockey as opposed to just seeing more hockey. It’s a special thing to have a pro team in your town. To have the fan support like we did tonight, hopefully it continues throughout the season. It’s a big help for us.” You can follow Tony’s Phantoms coverage on Twitter -> @TonyAndrock_TCG

Getting back to basics:
Why a financial plan is so important
M
Many of us are familiar with the expression, “failing to plan is planning to fail.” As an Agent with New York Life, I can assure you that—when it comes to financial goals and objectives—this old adage still rings true. In fact, it may be more relevant than ever. As the last few years have shown, it isn’t easy for most Americans to make financial headway. With pensions in decline, interest rates near historic lows, and household incomes yet to bounce back to pre-recession levels, it takes persistence and sound planning in order to get ahead. Not sure how to begin? That’s okay—it’s easy to become overwhelmed if you think about all your needs at once. Instead, try taking it one step at a time, starting with the basics: Build an emergency fund—No matter where you are in life, it’s important to set aside 8-10 months of living expenses. You don’t have to do it all at once, but every dollar you save today is a dollar you won’t have to borrow if something unexpected happens. Protect your home and family—Most of us have people who depend on us to keep a roof over their heads and food on their plates. That’s a big responsibility, but it’s one life insurance can help you meet—even if something tragic takes you away. You can start with an affordable term life plan at first, and then add more coverage as your needs and budget grow. Prepare for major expenses like college—As a parent or grandparent, you naturally want the best for your loved ones. Now’s the time to start a college or wedding fund so they won’t have to go into debt to make their dreams for the future come true.

Thyroid Dysfunction and TSH
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone or TSH. TSH is secreted by the pituitary and “tells” the thyroid to make a hormone called T4. (It is called T4 because of the 4 molecules of iodine that makes up this molecule). When TSH is elevated, it is assumed that hypothyroidism is occurring and conversely if TSH is low then a hyperthyroid condition is showing up. In addition, most doctors will run additional tests like checking the above mentioned T4 or even T3 (which is what T4 gets turned into IF you have proper functioning enzymes and appropriate minerals). In his book, “Iodine: Why You Need It-Why You Cannot Live Without It”, Dr. Guy Abrahamson’s ground breaking work reveals wonderful information about diagnosing and caring for thyroid disorders. In particular, he feels that patients need to have their iodine/iodide levels evaluated. He also discusses interesting facts about abnormal TSH levels. Oftentimes, after testing to see if you are deficient in iodine, supplementation needs to be administered. The urine iodine test is one way that we use in our office to determine if you are missing this crucial halide. According to Dr. Abrahamson, a rise in TSH does not necessarily mean you are having a hypothyroid issue, in particular, if you are supplementing with iodine. Dr. Abrahamson notes that if no other symptoms are presen besides a rise in TSH, then it is because the Sodium-Potassium symporter (NIS) is beginning to work again. Dr. Abrahamson states that the NIS is like a taxi cab that shuttles iodine from the bloodstream into the thyroid so more thyroid hormone can be made. This is a good thing! In this instance, a rise in TSH is your body’s response to stimulate more NIS which will deliver more iodine to make more thyroid hormone. Isn’t this amazing? I will be speaking on this topic in an upcoming seminar in my office. I have not decided on the date or time, yet however if you would like to know about the in-office seminar please call our office and get your name on the list. I can only have about 10-12 people there so please call soon. My number is 610-837-4444.

The second half of the workshop will focus on conservation initiatives and proper techniques for assessing and protecting PA's coldwater resources. This workshop is funded by Trout Unlimited Embrace a Stream Grant Program. This event is free and open to the public. A light lunch will be provided for those attending. For more information and to register please contact Samantha Kutskel skutskel@coldwaterheritage.org or 814-359-5233.

Participants should dress for the weather and bring a flashlight. Program limited to 30 participants. To register, contact Rick Wiltraut at rwiltraut@pa.gov or 610-746-2801. Go Teach: Hiking 101, A Cross Curricula Connection Saturday, Nov. 15 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Hiking is more than putting on a pair of boots and walking in the woods. It’s a lifelong recreational activity that
can increase one’s stamina, endurance and athleticism. It’s also the basis of numerous other recreations including backpacking, orienteering and geo-caching. Learn how to enable your students to discover Penn’s Woods through an interdisciplinary set of lessons for teachers created by the PA Bureau of State Parks. Lessons focus on health, fitness and trip planning; map reading and identifying local trails; forest ecology as well as nature journaling. The lessons meet several Physical Education & Health standards as well as standards for Geography, Science & Ecology and the Humanities. As part of this workshop teachers will receive lessons, ACT 48 hours and access to loaner equipment to help incorporate outdoor recreation education into their school. The cost of the workshop is $20 payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. To register, contact Lauren Forster at laforster@pa.gov or 610-746-2801. Jacobsburg Speaker Series: Dan Mummert Friday, Nov. 21 7:00-8:00 p.m. White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emergent disease of hibernating bats that has spread from the northeastern to the central United States at an alarming rate. Since the winter of 2007-2008, millions of insect-eating bats in 25 states and five Canadian provinces have died from this devastating disease. The disease is named for the white fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, that infects skin of the muzzle, ears, and wings of hibernating bats. Join Dan Mummert, Wildlife Conservation Officer for the PA Game Commission as he talks about this devastating disease and how it is affecting bats in Pennsylvania. To register, contact Rick

A PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING OCTOBER 2014 AS “BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH,” AS PART OF NATIONAL BREAST CANCER MONTH IN THE BOROUGH OF NORTHAMPTON. WHEREAS, Northampton Borough Council has authorized the Borough Manager to purchase new pink T-shirts, a request from the public works supervisor, for the men to wear pink shirts in recognition, support and to acknowledge October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the Borough of Northampton, and WHEREAS, for women age 40 and over who have never had a mammogram, October is a reminder to schedule your baseline mammograms or call for an appointment to start or continue your regular exams with a visit to your doctor and the Northampton Imaging Center, and WHEREAS, Northampton Imaging Center, 602-B E. 21st Street, Northampton, PA 18067 is a fully accredited mammography facility, being accredited by the ARC and MQSA, and WHEREAS, regular mammograms can be thought of as a form of insurance; breast cancer risk rises with age and is more likely to be treated if detected by a mammogram before symptoms develop, and WHEREAS, metastatic breast cancer is Stage IV advanced breast cancer that has spread from the original breast site to the bones and/or organs such as the liver, lungs and brain, and WHEREAS, according to the American Cancer Society, both men and women can be diagnosed with breast cancer, 30% of women will develop stage IV advanced or metastatic breast cancer, the 2nd leading cause of deaths behind lung cancer, and WHEREAS, there are Americans currently living with metastatic breast cancer, for which there is no cure at the present time, and the disease can move quickly or be active sometimes and not others, underscoring the immediate need for increased public awareness; statistics suggest that most of those living with metastatic breast cancer have a life expectancy of two to three years from initial diagnosis, and WHEREAS, metastatic breast cancer frequently involves one treatment after another (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatment, targeted therapies), with the goal of extending life as long as possible with the best quality of life, and WHEREAS, metastatic breast cancer is rarely discussed during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, however, those living with the disease should never feel isolated or ignored, and WHEREAS, Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Month emphasizes the urgent need for new, targeted breast cancer treatments that will provide a high quality of life and prolong life expectancy for patients by making Stage IV cancer a chronic, not a terminal, disease, and WHEREAS, the raising awareness of this largely misunderstood disease will help bring about acceptance, support, and solidarity, and help advocate for medical advances. It is critical to educate the public and to help provide cancer patients with a more supportive and productive environment, and WHEREAS, it is your decision and choice to get the help you need, if you believe and desire; start with an appointment to your doctor to arrange for a mammogram, and you will be taking the first step to saving your life; also remember there is a lot of information and people who are out there willing to help, and WHEREAS, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network is calling for everyone to do their part to further build awareness of this disease, I am asking all residents of the Borough of Northampton and surrounding communities to join me in acknowledging October as “Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” and ask them to support efforts to raise awareness about metastatic breast cancer and, together, we can fight for the development of treatments that extend lives, while the search for the cure continues. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Thomas D. Reenock, Mayor of the Borough of Northampton, by virtue of authority vested in me, acknowledge “October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month” in the Borough of Northampton, and I encourage all the residents of the Borough and the surrounding area to acknowledge October by communicating with one another and taking part in appropriate programs and activities that demonstrate a commitment of recognition, support and acceptance to our friends and neighbors living with breast cancer. ___________________________________________

tion of honoring its veterans. This bill, when signed into law, will be yet another way for residents to keep alive the memory of the great soldiers who went into battle during the 1930s and 1940s.” As part of House Bill 1135, Route 191 from the Bangor Borough line to the Plainfield Township line would be renamed the “World War II Homefront Heroes Highway.” The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation would erect signs facing traffic in both directions to indicate the designation.
“As a native of Bangor, I’m well aware of how proud the town is of its men and women who served during the war,” added Emrick. “Designating Route 191 in this manner will be a daily reminder to commuters of those who went before us and made sacrifices that allow us to enjoy the freedoms we have today.” Questions about this event or any legislative issue should be directed to Emrick’s Mt. Bethel office at 570-897-0401 or his Nazareth office at 610746-5090.
Emrick Legislation to Honor Local Veterans Heads to Governor
Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE Legislation authored by state Rep. Joe Emrick (RNorthampton) that would rename a portion of Route 191 to honor local veterans of World War II is headed to Gov. Tom Corbett’s desk. The language of Emrick’s bill, House Bill 1736, was rolled into a larger bill which was unanimously passed Monday by the state House. “I would like to thank my colleagues in the General Assembly for making this possible,” Emrick said. “Like many of our local communities, Bangor has a proud tradi-

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip There has been a whirlwind of activities this month, thanks to Mayor Fi. Saturday morning was one of the big ones as a crowd of folks went together on the big field just east of the George Wolf School and formed themselves into a ribbon. It wasn’t all pink, but it still was dedicated to cancer awareness, just as the whole month has been. The pilot who was supposed to fly a plane overhead so that a picture could be taken told Fi that it depended on the weather. Well, there wasn’t much rain, but it started to get breezy, so I reckon he called that off. But the Bath firefighters brought their aerial ladder truck down to the school parking lot and Lori Stack bravely and slowly climbed that mighty tall ladder to take the picture. She was assisted by hubby Dave, but he stayed down on the ground. . . . I saw another fund-raiser that’s going to the American Cancer Society that Fi has come up with. It’s gonna be Luminaria Night on Saturday, December 13 when people are asked to buy $10.00 worth of candles and the bag they’re in and put them out along their sidewalks. Ye Ed says he’s done that before when there were cancer walks in Macungie and elsewhere, in memory of Anna. If you’ve lost a relative or friend to cancer, I hope you’ll buy those candles and light ‘em up. . . . Weather wise, it turned really windy on Sunday, probably because of that hurricane off the coast, and that night into Monday
we went into the deep freeze. Didn’t see what looked like frost, but it was bone cold, that’s for sure, getting us ready for the winter ahead. . . .Oops! I was a year off. Betty Gehring is 96. She sure looks great for her age. Only four more for 100 and time to party!. . . . Other birthdays coming up: “Spundy” Rehrig, Catherine Hahn, Anna Kish and Luther Schlegel . . . . Farmers are selling all the big pumpkins they’ve raised, and folks are making ‘em into pies and even pumpkin coffee, not to mention the faces they put on for Halloween. . . .Which reminds me, lots of Trick or Treat nights coming up. Bath’s Halloween parade was scheduled for this Tuesday with a rain date of Wednesday. Then I heard that rain was forecast for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Whatever happens, since the paper is put to bed before then, news of the parade will come next week. Nazareth had their parade on Saturday, but I was so busy I didn’t get to see it. . . .I’ve been noticing for a while that a couple hawks have been circling over the top of the Bath Servicenter. Then I saw a big flock a couple days ago, and on Monday just before suppertime I counted more than 25 of ‘em from the service station on over to North Chestnut Street. I don’t know whether they’re hawks or crows, but they were circling around looking for something to gobble up. . . . Bundle up, gang. Put on your long johns. It’s getting colder. Have a great week.

member and presented chevrons for years of membership to five Lions. He spoke about the the theme of International Lions President Joe Preston, “Strengthen the Pride through Service” focusing on youth, feeding the hungry, and the environment. DG Folland said it is important to strengthen the clubs through membership development and leadership, even partnering with another club with dedication, giving, creativity, courage and conviction. He encouraged change, and to use social media. “Get ready to take in new members, bring members’ children to meetings. We need to change with the times,” he said. The leader of Lions, Lioness and Leo clubs in Lehigh and Northampton counties recalled how much it meant to him to be a Lion when delivering fruit baskets at Christmas and raising money for an insulin pump for a young person. “Your club is very relevant in your community,” DG Folland said, and then listed things that Lions do in Pennsylvania: eye research, Lions of Pa. Foundation, Leaser Lake, Beacon Lodge, and Northeast Pa. Lions Eye Bank. He then officiated at the induction of Mary Kositz as a new member. A prospective member, Kerry Yeletskiy, was also introduced. DG Folland presented chevrons for years of membership to PDG Bill Halbfoerster, Gail Metcalf, Ken Edgar, Charles Billings, and Dorothy Reimer from Lions Clubs International, ranging from 65 to 15 years. Lion Kyle Grube provided information on new road signs the club wishes to buy.
New member Mary Kositz was inducted into the Bath Lions Club last Wednesday. Shown with her are her sponsor, Lion Jack Metcalf and District Governor Fred Folland. – Home News photo Thanks was expressed to Lions Jack Metcalf, Jim Spengler, Melissa Grube, Gail Metcalf and Dan Spengler for helping with parking on Bath Community Day.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Alleged pollution of Hokey Creek raises ire of council
By JANA BOSKEY At the Oct. 16 Northampton Borough council meeting, Councilman and Chairman of the Public Works and Sewer Department, Keith Piescienski notes that they received a couple minor violations that were responded to quickly and resolved. “I think it’s ironic that these two minor incidents get us a notice of violation but with the removal of the Atlas Dam is so polluted it looks like gray mud,” Piescienski said. Pany Irked Councilman Ed Pany, one of the dam’s most passionate supporters, echoed Piescienski’s sentiment. “We have monitored the dam. We’ve seen the water turn gray. We’ve seen the wildlife destroyed. Yet we have a minor violation from 2011 and are called on it while we ignore the obvious discoloration of
Author Coming to NAPL

water right in front of us,” Pany said. In February, the borough council members were informed of a decision by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to demolish the historic dam. Originally constructed in 1898 by the Atlas Portland Cement Company, the dam was part of the process that helped make cement used in the construction of iconic projects like the Empire State Building and the Panama Canal. The APCC closed in 1982, but the Hokendauqua Creek continued to flow over the dam, serving as a reminder of the company and this history it had a hand in making. There is a sense of betrayal amongst many members of the council and some in the community. Many citizens of Northampton are descendants of workers from the
cement industry or cement workers themselves. Councilman Anthony Lopsonski, Sr. describes the demolition as an “act of vengeance.” “That place is disgusting,” he fumes as he describes the area around the dam. The razing of the dam was justified by some, stating that the creek would be revitalized and turned back into a freshwater stream. Critics see this as irrefutably false with blatant pollution rendering it uninhabitable to wildlife. Other Business In other business, the council regretfully accepted the resignation of Assistant Fire Chief Greg Morey. After more than 25 years of public service, Morey has decided to step down effective September 30. The role of Assistant Fire Chief will be assumed by Councilman Keith Piescienski.

In an unusual move, the legislature of Quebec, Canada, has authorized a publicly subsidized loan of $250 million for McInnis Cement to build a cement plant. McInnis is expected to ship a majority of its product to the United States where it could potentially crowd out the market and erode the Pennsylvania cement industry. “Pennsylvania, and the Lehigh Valley in particular, has a long, rich history in the cement and concrete manufacturing industries,” said Harhart. “The proposed McInnis plant in Canada would be a detriment to our manufacturing base, and I am hopeful our U.S. trade representative takes this issue seriously and investigates the proposed project thoroughly to make sure no trade rules are being violated.” House Resolution 1071 passed the House by a vote of 196-0.

Cement Worker Of Month
Peter G. Zagar Essroc, Nazareth
by ED PANY
Mr. Peter G. Zagar was born in Stanford, CA and graduated from Los Altos H.S. in 1973, where he was a member of a stellar track team, which was undefeated from 1959-73 winning the state championship. His father had been a scholarship student who played football and was a record holding discus thrower at Stanford University. Peter graduated from San Jose State with degrees in Geography and Geology in 1977. He recalls, “As an intern we saw the former secret U-2 reconnaissance aircraft and interpreted photographs taken by the plane.” Mr. Zagar has a comprehensive and compelling employment resume. He said, “My first job was with
Kaiser Cement in Cupertine, CA as a rock plant engineer where I could use my Geology degree.” His work odyssey has given him many interesting and challenging opportunities. Between 1980-85 he supervised a massive quarry in Lucerne, CA. He stated, “I always enjoyed working in quarry operations. My next challenge took me to southeast Michigan to manage a million ton operation. In 1991, Oregan called and I worked on some of the first super fund cities with an environmental company which designed landfills.” His vast aggregate knowledge led him to Hanson Aggregate where he was an environmental manager for 26 facilities. There was National Cement in Lebe,
CA and a chromium mine in Oregon. He said, “Last year I was hired by Essroc as their safety manager to update the safety and training program. I work closely with MSHA, a federal agency that usually conducts six inspections annually at the plant, quarry, and grinding operation. We stress safety and I found a great spirit of cooperation working with our supervisors and employees.” The corporate safety director for Essroc is Ms. Ginna Facca. When asked about reports, Mr Zagar replied, “I spend at least 50% of my time on paperwork.” This writer was impressed by Mr. Zagar’s employment experiences, professionalism and brand knowledge. An amiable gentlemen, Peter certainly is a highly qualified and valuable employee. He is very proud of his son Steven, an Apple employee and his Croatian heritage. Peter resides in Bowmanstown and spends his free time fishing, mountain biking and bird watching. We wish continued success to Mr. Zagar and all friends at Essroc and hope to return again next year to honor more dedicated cement workers.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Outdoors I’m Hungry
By HOBBY
By CAROL RITTER
I’m hungry and I’m lucky. I stopped at a restaurant out of town to get a salad to go. I stepped up to the counter and the gal said, “Good afternoon, can I help you?” I said, “Yes, I’d like to order a salad to go.” She offered me three choices and I selected the delicious looking chicken cranberry salad. “It will take a few minutes because we make fresh potato chips on the side. Here’s a beeper, we’ll let you know when it’s ready.” I left to run a quick errand and came back to find the chips were still not done. I suspected a problem in the kitchen. She ran back and found the chips ready, however the boss was yelling at the staff. I could see them and she put on a rubber glove and started to pack the chips. He then started yelling at her. She was providing over-the-top customer service and he, the new “BOSS OF THE YEAR”, is scolding her within ear shot of me. The young lady was amazing. She came out of the kitchen with double chips and said, “So sorry for the delay, can I offer you a free breakfast next time to come to visit us?” I’m pretty sure she got scolded for asking the question, “Why did the chips take so long?” -I’m hungry for improved customer service. If I did an unoffical survey, my guess is wonderful customer service is at about 50%.

The board of directors of the Northampton County Junior Conservation School held their monthly meeting on Friday at the Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center. Andy Curtis, director of the school, distributed new brochures, which detail some of their activities, including the annual school operated in July at the 4-H Center. Included was a pre-application form for students 14 to 17 years of age. Fresh off planting 75 trees on land at Jacobsburg Park, the group was invited to participate in a bird-banding program on Saturday. Proposed for the future is partnering with the DCNR people at Jacobsburg on fishing skills and opportunities, a Halloween event, and a holiday open house at the Bushkill Township facility. Members of the Jr. Conservation School staff will work at the annual Whitetail Deer Classic on Saturday, Feb. 14 in the Northampton Memorial Community Center. The directors voted to change their regular monthly meeting time to the second Monday of the month at 7 p.m., beginning in January 2015. At the next meeting on Friday, Nov. 21, the 2015 budget will be worked on and officers will be nominated.

program operates. Oh my goodness, the stories and the pictures! But the way my week goes, I could be gone all day and I just didn’t know if it was fair to adopt a pet, when I’m not always home and especially during my busy season. Then I remembered a doggie daycare facility called A Furry Tail Come True Too (140 Bath Nazareth Hwy.- www.afurrytailcometrue.com). This is a great option for someone like me if I choose to adopt a pet. After my pet has adjusted to me and my home, I can make arrangements for my puppy to spend a day with A Furry Tail Come True especially when I have a long business day ahead of me. So I made a stop at the Doggie Daycare and found it to be so clean, no pet odors! I was impressed the way the staff showed patience and compassion for the dogs that were already there. Also boarding your pet is offered in a cage-free environment. All dogs must go through an evaluation process to see if your dog adjusts well with other dogs allowing them to participate in monitored play. Needing to go to go uptown in Nazareth, I parked on Main St. and noticed the “OPEN” flag was out on a store I have been wanting to go in, Me 2 You Treasures (123 S Main St.-www.me2y-
outreasures.com). What a fun shop! I felt like I stepped back in time because of the eclectic assortment of collectibles and antiques. Cinda Young, the owner was there and explained that she offers a drawing for a gift every month and monthly specials. I enjoyed browsing through the used and new items from furniture to small appliances and gadgets. I had been looking for a pastry blender like my grandmother that had a green painted handle and was very pleased to find one in my treasure hunt! The prices are reasonable so I had to keep looking around to find the items I didn’t know I needed! My cell phone rang and a friend invited me to meet with her at The Newburg Inn (4357 Newburg Rd.- www. NewburgInn.com) and have an early dinner. How nice! This area landmark was built in 1750, and served not only as an Inn but also a stagecoach stop. William Penn actually owned the land on which the Inn stands! Don’t you love to learn history this way? Our waitress was very friendly and explained how the Inn is under new ownership; fresh painted interior and new carpeting installed, and more selections and specials on the menu! So much to choose from but I decided on an appetizer of Crab Stuffed Mushrooms, and for my entrée, Breast of Chicken Sinatra. Sundried tomatoes, Shitake mushrooms, artichoke hearts in a garlic white wine sauce! Very good! And yes, I did have leftovers to bring home. When I arrived home, all

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.
my lovely colors that were on my tree that morning had fallen all day and covered my yard. I do love this time of year but not the chores that comes with the season. There was still enough daylight so I changed my clothes and started to rake. Back home we had to bag up our leaves for the garbage, but my neighbor explained that in Nazareth we just rake our leaves into the street. The next morning, when I could allow myself to sleep in a little... what do I hear outside? My township man with his big leaf vacuum sucking up all my autumn colors...! I love living in Nazareth! “Nosey” Please contact “Nosey” through Tina Smith at the Nazareth-Bath Area Chamber of Commerce, Attn: Nosey in Nazareth, tina@nazarethchamber.com.
Don’t Make These Common IRA Mistakes
About 40 percent of U.S. households—nearly 50 million—own individual retirement accounts (IRAs) that provide tax-advantaged options for saving. The Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants offers the following tips on how to avoid some common mistakes people make when managing IRAs. Mistake #1: Fail to Focus on Beneficiaries Naming a beneficiary makes it easier for your loved ones to access your accounts when you die. It can also help preserve tax benefits for your heirs and guarantee that your money goes to the right people. Be sure to review and update your beneficiaries as necessary, especially after a marriage, birth of a child, divorce, or the death of a named beneficiary. It’s also a good idea to talk to your CPA about the tax implications for those who might inherit your IRA. Mistake #2: Wreck Your Rollover If you want to move your IRA investment from one account to another, process a direct rollover or direct transfer. Your IRA money will flow directly from one financial in-

News Sermonette Pastor Volker Stoeckmann Valleyview Baptist Church
Don’t Forget the Bible I find it disturbing that people will argue against the Bible when they have never read it. Others will say that it doesn’t have the answer when they haven’t searched its pages or listened to it explained. David, author of many Psalms said; The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple (Ps. 119:130). That means the Bible is an enlightening book and given the opportunity it will educated even those with limited abilities. God’s Word, The Bible, will provide you more useful knowledge on the most important topics than the sharpest philosophers have been able to develop through successive ages. So why is it that the Bible sits on the shelf and collects dust? Why do so many people ignore it? I propose to you that it is because people don’t want the truth. I read of a school teacher who lost her life savings in a business scheme that had been elaborately explained by a swindler. When her investment disappeared and her dream was shattered, she went to the Better Business Bureau. "Why on earth didn't you come to us first?" the official asked. "Didn't you know about the Better Business Bureau?" "Oh, yes," said the lady sadly. "I've always known about you. But I didn't come because I was afraid you'd tell me not to do it." The folly of human nature is that even though we know where the answers lie--God's Word--we don't turn there for fear of what it will say. People won’t read the Bible because they know it addresses their sin. They know enough about the Bible to know that it will present God’s standard of Holiness and that is convicting. The Bible will agree with their “God-given” conscience and increase the guilt over what they are doing. People won’t consult the Bible because it contradicts their immediate and temporal gratification. The Bible makes it clear that the pleasures of sin are but for a season (Hebrews 11:25) and yet many would rather suffer long-term consequences. One of Solomon’s proverbs reminds us that the way of the transgressor is hard (Proverbs 13:15). Friend, why end up with a shattered and empty life? Ignoring the truth won’t change the consequences of bad decisions. The only way to avoid that pain is to listen to the truth and do the right thing. Stop ignoring the Bible and begin reading it. A great place to begin is in the Gospel of John in the New Testament. Then attend a Bible preaching church where someone can help you further. stitution to the new financial institution and have no tax effect. Even if you have physical possession of the check, it isn’t made payable to you. The check is made payable to “Trusted Financial Institution for benefit of [Your Name].” Avoid processing an indirect rollover. This is when you withdraw the money directly (the check is made payable to you). An indirect rollover creates a taxable event. If you make this mistake, you have only 60 days to correct your error by making a corresponding IRA investment. If you don’t make the IRA in-
vestment in time, 100 percent of the withdrawal is included in your taxable income for the year and a penalty of 10 percent will be assessed if you are younger than 59½. Mistake #3: Overlook the Roth IRA A Roth IRA may or may not suit your needs, but it’s worth finding out what it has to offer. The income you receive from a Roth IRA is not taxable to you in retirement, is not taxable to your beneficiaries, and there is no requirement to take a minimum distribution after age 70½. Note that, unlike a traditional IRA, your contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax deductible. You can contribute as much as $5,500 to a Roth IRA ($6,500 if you’re 50 or over by the end of the year) as long as your income falls below certain levels. However, you can convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA no matter what your income. There are tax consequences from that conversion, though, so be sure to consult your CPA about the right steps for you. Mistake #4: Don’t Take the Right Distribution While it’s a generally bad idea to tap your IRA too early, you can’t leave the money in a traditional IRA forever. By April 1 of the year after the year you turn 70½, you must Continued on page 16

IRA Mistakes Continued from page 15
begin to take required minimum distributions each year. If you don’t, you could face a 50 percent tax on the amount not taken as required. The required minimum distribution varies based on your year-end account balance, age, and other factors. Please consult your CPA for guidance. Of course, you can also withdraw more than the minimum required distribution, but be sure to portion out your withdrawals appropriately if you need them to last a lifetime. Distributions from a traditional IRA are included in your taxable income, and your CPA can help you determine how that income will affect your annual tax bill. Mistake #5: Do Nothing When you fail to set up or contribute to a retirement account—whether it’s a plan offered by your employer or an IRA—you lose out in two ways. First, the amount you could have saved won’t be there when you’re ready for retirement. Second, you also miss out on all the interest or dividends that might have grown tax free in your account over the years.

Monocacy Creek Watershed Assoc. Hosts Wildlife Program in Bath By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
A program showing nearly a dozen creatures of wildlife was sponsored on Sunday afternoon by the Monocacy Creek Watershed Association at the Bath Fire Social Hall. It was presented by Kathy and Eric Uhler of the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center based near Stroudsburg.
“You here in the Lehigh Valley are familiar with wildlife. But north of the Applachian ridge, they are now former urbanites who have no idea about them,” said Ms. Uhler, director of the center. The non-profit center takes in some 1,100 injured and orphaned animals a year, including hawks, owls, squirrels, rabbits, songbirds, fawn deer, raccoons, foxes and bear cubs. Their goal is to provide

All the birds and animals are cared for by the Pocono Wildlife & Rehabilitation Center after they were found injured. – Home News photos humane, professional care for these wild animals, hoping to return them back to the wild. If that isn’t possible, some of the animals remain at the center to help teach visitors respect for wildlife and the environment. An audience of almost 40 people turned out Sunday to see such wildlife as wood turtles, a screech owl, barn owl, kestrel falcon, an albino crow, opossum, a white skunk, and flying squirrels. Kathy explained the habits of each, while her husband walked around showing up close and personal the birds and animals. She said turtles are now endangered species. They’re also territorial, and if someone sees a turtle crossing a road, somehow direct it to an area that it wanted to go. She feeds them hamburger in caring for them. In winter, they hibernate in deep mud. The screech owl is the smallest owl. They have big eyes so they can see trees as they fly in the night to find mice. There are seven kinds of owls in this area and the next one shown was a barn owl, which has large ear openings, at a high and low part of their head so they can land on a mouse without seeing it. When they flap their wings it is in silence so their prey can’t hear them. The barn owl is a farmland creature that doesn’t live in woods. Mr. Uhler said laboratories that raise rodents donate them to the rehab center when they have an overflow. The kestrel snaps necks of their prey with its beak. They don’t eat the guts of the mice because that’s where parasites are. Mrs. Uhler said two people in Northampton County have doubled the kestrel population. The albino crow was the

noisy one of the birds, and Kathy said he uses different sounds for different situations. His feathers are brittle; his favorite color is orange. They are very intelligent and know one person from another. Opossums have a pouch, which serves as an incubator for their young, who will drink in any kind of formula. They are totally harmless creatures that have no lice or fleas. There is no room inside their skull for a brain, and when faced with danger they simply pass out. Eric held a white skunk, showing its long claws, which they use to get at bugs in the ground. Kathy advised people who ever get sprayed by a skunk to buy Skunk Off. It can be purchased at places that sell liquid deodorizers. Her advice to the audience: “Never pick up animals with your hands. You could easily get rabies.” Two flying squirrels were in their cage when shown. If they get into attics of homes they cause a lot of damage. Kathy advised having a light on or turning on a radio, neither of which these animals like, and they’ll leave. Also in its cage was a porcupine. The Uhler’s showed a cup of their needles, which is their defensive mechanism. Porcupines love apples, carrots, and corn.
The audience asked plenty of questions, which the Uhler’s answered from their knowledge about wildlife. Since the wildlife rehab center is nonprofit, they depend on donations. Their lease to the facility they are using has expired, and they need to raise $300,000 to keep it. Kathy is a high school English teacher, which helps financially, and allows her to serve as the center’s director. Despite being licensed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, USDA and Pa. Game Commission, they have no funding for their activities and depend on tax-deductible contributions from the public to help them care for the wild animals of all species, as well as providing education and assistance to thousands of people in a sixcounty area. Their address is 1161 Cherry Dr., Stroudsburg, PA 18360. The couple were introduced by Jim Wilson, Northampton County Conservation District watershed specialist and a member of the Monocacy Creek Watershed Association. He said the wildlife rehabilitators provide more than 100 programs a year. Some of their favorite people are hunters. They aren’t tree huggers. Sunday’s program was free to the audience as part of the education and outreach mission of the watershed association. Wilson also encouraged people to join MCWA, a volunteer group, which seeks to enable, aid and enhance the stewardship and management of the Monocacy Creek and surrounding watershed for the ultimate betterment of stream environment and the community. Their address is P.O. Box 1041. The Monocacy Creek from 20.3 miles from its headwaters in the Slate Belt at Chapman to the City of Bethlehem. The watershed is 48.8 square miles in eastern Lehigh and western Northampton counties just south of the Blue Mountain.
