Sponsored by the Bath Firefighters and Ambulance Corps, neighboring units came out in all of their glory this past Tuesday night at the Bath Halloween parade. They made plenty of noise, too, with their horns blowing and sirens wailing. Among others, there were the Klecknersville Rangers of Moore Township, the East Allen Township Vol. Fire Co., and Nazareth Fire Co. They were followed by the Bath Legion, grand marshal Tony Kovalovsky, and Mayor Fiorella Mirabito. The Bath Lions and Moore Township Red Hawks had their players and cheerleaders; Sacred
Heart School celebrated its 90th year with a group and float. Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts were part of the parade, too. Musically, Northampton High School’s Big ‘N’ Band played in one portion of the parade and the Northampton Middle School Band in another. For animals there was the Lehigh Valley Animal Hospital and dachshund dogs of Wind Gap puddling along to the delight of the cable TV photographer. The Forks of the Delaware Shriners cars did their circling around, with the Shriners waving to the hundreds of people lining Main Street. In between, hundreds of youngsters in their Halloween
costumes joined in the fun. The judges’ stand and cable TV were on the Main Street side of the municipal building. People were standing all along
the parade route, sometimes three and four deep. Many brought their beach chairs. It was a cool night, but pleasant, and everybody had a great time.
Rankin eager for Opportunity with Phantoms by TONY ANDROCKITIS Injuries have taken their toll on the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and opened the door for others to step in and get an opportunity to play. This is the case for the newest member of the team – forward Evan Rankin – who joined the team over the weekend on a professional tryout contract (PTO) from the Toledo Walleye (ECHL). With forwards Cole Bardreau, Danick Martel, Colin McDonald and Michael Parks all out of action for the next few weeks, Rankin looks to have an extended stay to make an impression. “Obviously it’s a good opportunity here, but you never want guys to be injured and hurt,” Rankin said after the Phantoms’ 3-1 loss to Toronto on Sunday. Rankin, who made his Lehigh Valley debut on Saturday, joins
the Phantoms with plenty of AHL experience, a total of 191 games including three seasons with the Rochester Americans where he tallied 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) in 32 games last year. He’s certainly accustomed to the style of play. “I've been in the AHL for the last four years” Rankin said of his time in the league. “I know how this league works. It is a new system and I'm picking up little pieces here and there, but you want to bring everything you can and try to help make a difference.” The 29-year-old forward went the college route before turning pro, playing big-time college hockey at the University of Notre Dame from 2004-2008, tallying 20 goals and 21 assists in those four years across 143 games.
Evan Rankin aims to prove he belongs in the AHL on his current tryout with the Phantoms.
“I like to be a feisty little forward, and win puck battles in the corner,” Rankin said when asked
what kind of skill set he brings to the table. “I have found a lot Continued on page 4

A LETTER TO MOORE TOWNSHIP VOTERS! TWO IMPORTANT REASONS TO VOTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3 ●
THE POT HOLE SCAM
On July 8, 2015, a headline in the Morning Call Newspaper carried a message from residents to the Moore Township Supervisors: “GET MOVING ON FIXING POTHOLES”. The headline sums up the frustration in recent years by Moore Township residents who are fed up with bad roads and poor service. From potholes to pipelines, REAL SERVICE has been replaced with LIP SERVICE by some Moore Township officials. On July 7, residents pressed Moore Township Supervisors for ANSWERS to their road problems. Instead, they got EXCUSES. Supervisor Richard Gable, my opponent in the November 3 Election, blamed wide-spread road problems on severe winter weather and too many township roads. Gable, who is usually entrenched in the township office, apparently hasn’t noticed that severe winter weather and miles of rural roads are normal for Moore Township. Supervisor David Tashner gave an explanation that made heads spin. Tashner said the 6 man road crew was going around the township in a circular pattern to repair pot holes with hot-tar mix. “We’re in the process of coming around”, he told the residents. That was in July. A check of two of the roads, Andrews and Best Roads, indicate that a little “POLITICAL BLACK-TOPPING” has recently occurred. There was a feeble attempt to fill a few holes at one end of Best Road. However, the two roads remain in deplorable condition and residents will have to wait for the road crew to “come around” again.
SO WHAT’S HAPPENING TO OUR ROADS?
As you travel our township roads, start counting the number of pot holes you have to dodge. Gable and Tashner have decided to replace a road maintenance PLAN with a POT HOLE SCAM. Instead of using black top or chip and tar to improve large sections of roads each year, their policy now is to go around the township in a circular pattern FILLING POT HOLES – endlessly, LIKE DOGS CHASING THEIR TAILS. With 70% of our roads now in need of repair, they say we can only afford to repair pot holes, not roads! The first and most important duty of a Township Supervisor is to provide quality road service. Our 100 miles of roads carry our children to school and our residents to their jobs and daily activities. While celebrations and events are nice, they should never take precedent over the safety of our roads. Filling potholes is NOT a program. IT’S A WASTE. My dad taught me that if you can afford to do something TWICE, you can afford to do it RIGHT the FIRST time. I propose we toss the hot-tar buckets and get back to a real road program. During my 6-year term in office, black-top cost almost TWICE as much as it costs today. We had only 4 road crew workers then, not 6, and we were able to perform routine maintenance AND follow an effective black-top program.
FIGHTING PIPELINES
Many years ago, the residents and taxpayers of Moore Township made a commitment to preserve our beautiful agricultural and historical heritage. We backed that promise with hard work and precious tax dollars. Today, through the efforts of many fine volunteers serving in many capacities, our township and its great facilities are a source of pride for all of us. Now, the rural beauty of our township is threatened, not from within, but from outside our community. PennEast Pipeline proposes to cut a large swath through our township. Areas and farms marked for preservation, creeks and sensitive protected environmental areas will be affected. In November, 2014, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution opposing the pipeline plans. In addition, on February 23, 2015, a letter opposing the proposal was sent by the supervisors to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. An adjustment was made to the pipeline’s course, moving it further from Moore Elementary School, but the project proceeds.
HAVE THE SUPERVISORS DONE ALL THAT THEY COULD DO TO STOP THE PIPELINE? IS A RESOLUTION AND A LETTER ENOUGH TO PROTECT OUR TREASURED HERITAGE?
In a similar situation, during my first term in office, PPL proposed to cut through a portion of the northern section of our township. Our Appalachian Park, our watershed and our sensitive mountain area would have been adversely affected by the proposal. I met with area residents and heard their concerns. Immediately, the entire weight of the township was in play. I personally met with many interested parties. The Moore Township Supervisors stood up to PPL until the plans were finally dropped. In contrast, a group of residents who are directly impacted by the PennEast Pipeline appear to be standing alone against the powerful company. At an October meeting of the group, the supervisors attended the meeting, but active opposition by the Township seems to have evaporated. As with the roads, ACTION, not LIP SERVICE is needed.
DID THE SUPERVISORS DO ENOUGH? WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE? Carolyn Elefant is a former FERC attorney now representing citizen groups in this dispute. According to Ms. Elefant, citizens standing alone don’t appear to have the same impact on the Federal Agency without municipality support. She said townships and counties should meet first with the Federal Agency. If no agreement is reached, a court hearing should be requested, followed by an appeal, if necessary. The process, Elefant says, is simple. “The worst thing a municipality can do is nothing”. Moore Township may still have time to take court action against the pipeline and I urge the supervisors to do so. The residents impacted directly need your support. After all the plans and dreams and work we expended to preserve the rural character of our township, we, too, deserve nothing less than the total commitment of the Supervisors to STOP THE PIPELINE. From 2006 through 2011, I had the opportunity and privilege to serve you as Moore Township Supervisor. My pledge then and now is to listen to you and to respond courteously and quickly to your concerns. I am proud of our Township and the many citizens who volunteer their time to make our community so special. I remain committed to the preservation of our heritage. Finally, I respectfully ask for your time and support on Tuesday, November 3. Please vote for Maynard Campbell for Moore Township Supervisor. Paid For By Friends of Maynard Campbell

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
How you feel means nothingPart one
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
We hear of people that feel fine, that are never sick, and then they drop dead of a heart attack, have a stroke or maybe get a check up only to find they have cancer… sometimes advanced cancer. I have heard of several people that felt a little bad, got checked out, found cancer and they were dead in a few short months. It is true that how you feel is no indication of how healthy you are. Many people get their annual physical that may include a blood test. This annual blood test is done through medical doctors and paid for by insurance, however, the list of tests has been getting shorter over the years. In addition, the test ranges have changed over the years to correlate with population averages. To illustrate this point: suppose a blood test has a range of 1050. A medical doctor will only see a problem with the test results if less than 10 or greater than 50. Does this mean that you are healthy and have optimal health of the test result is an 11 or 49? It just means that you aren’t bad enough to be officially diagnosed with a disease and therefore warrant recommendation of a drug or other medical intervention. Over the last 15 or so years there have been significant changes in these medical ranges for blood tests. In some cases the results have been changed from 10-50 to five-65.
These new ranges correlate with over all poorer health in our country and the result is that now most disease has to be even more advanced before a condition is now medically diagnosed as determined by medical and insurance guidelines. Regular doctors cannot diagnose or treat a condition before it is clinically documented because they have to justify treatment based on diagnostic testing. Waiting until a disease is advanced is like having a car problem and waiting until it won’t run anymore. Catching problems early and avoiding problems and disease are the best ways to living a long, active and healthy life. From what you may believe, drugs do not increase life span; at times they may delay or avert a premature death or “crisis.” Blood pressure drugs are used so that you don’t have a heart attack or stroke today. Antidepressants are used so that you aren’t depressed today. Diabetes drugs are used so you don’t have high glucose and have a seizure today. Drugs taken for chronic conditions and even for acute disease

are to avert a disaster or problem today. However, the cause of the original condition is rarely considered and then there are the added side effects of the drugs. Life is in the blood and most health problems and diseases will show up in the blood long before symptoms are noticed…before you feel bad. For instance, only 20% of liver function is needed to be relatively symptom free. By the time symptoms of liver disease are noticed, it is often too late. So, proper comprehensive testing must be done, including investigational testing to see metabolic problems, deficiencies, system functions, inflammations and infections. Reading the blood test more closely is very beneficial for avoiding or catching a condition early. Instead of waiting until a blood test is below 10 or above 50, some health experts, including our healing center, will pick a middle range, maybe from 20-40, and this is then used as a guideline to monitor the optimal or healthy range. Test results of 1020 or 40-50 are those results that aren’t yet a “disease” but are warning signs of developing problems. It is important that you understand this distinction between waiting for a small problem to manifest into something horrible or catching something early, addressing the cause and living a life full of optimum health, vigor and vitality. We will continue in part two next time.

of success in my career battling in front of the net. I'm just looking for the opportunity to get there and at the same time make sure I'm covering my responsibilities defensively.” As a team, the Phantoms left some points on the table over the weekend losing both Friday in Providence and Sunday at home against Toronto, although they were able to pick up their first win at home on the season Saturday in a rematch against the Providence Bruins. Lehigh Valley finishes their four-game home stand this week with a pair of games against the St. John’s IceCaps on Wednesday and Friday before their first matchup with rival Hershey Bears on Sunday in Hershey’s Giant Center. “It was a weird off-season with kind of a waiting game. I kind of waited almost a little too long I think on pulling the trigger,” Rankin explained of his situation this past summer. “It’s good to be back in the AHL and I want to do as much as I can to help this team win and do what I do best to try to make this team successful.”
Drivers use Caution: whitetails on blacktop via PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION With deer becoming increasingly active, and daylight saving time about to put more vehicles on the road during the hours when deer move most, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is advising motorists to slow down and stay alert. "White-tailed deer are entering a period of increased activity and are crossing roads more frequently as a result," said Game Commission Executive Director R. Matthew Hough. "While drivers should always remain alert and on the lookout for whitetails crossing roads, there is reason to pay particular attention while behind the wheel now and in the
www.HomeNewsPA.com
coming weeks." Deer become more active in autumn with the lead-up to their fall breeding season, commonly referred to as the "rut." Around this time, many yearling bucks disperse from the areas in which they were born and travel, sometimes several dozen miles, to find new ranges. Meanwhile, adult bucks more often are cruising their home ranges in search of does, and they sometimes chase the does they encounter. Add to this the fact autumn sees a number of people taking part in outdoor activities that might flush deer from forested areas or briar thickets, and that deer are more active feeding to store energy for winter months, and it quickly becomes evident why motorists might be more likely to encounter deer on roads. The start of daylight saving time also increases vehicular traffic between dusk and dawn – the peak hours for deer activity. Drivers can reduce their chances of collisions with deer by staying alert and better understanding deer behavior. Motorists are urged to pay particular attention while driving on stretches marked with "Deer Crossing" signs. For example, deer often travel in family groups and walk single file. So even if one deer successfully crosses the road in front of a driver, it doesn't mean the threat is over. Another could be right behind it. A driver who hits a deer with vehicle is not required to report the accident to the Game Commission. If the deer dies, only Pennsylvania residents may claim the carcass. To do so, they must call the Game Commission region office representing the county where the accident occurred and an agency dispatcher will collect the information needed to provide a free permit number, which the caller should write down. A resident must call within 24 hours of taking possession of Continued on page 11

Lessons from Star Wars
Lesson 1 – Always travel with a protector, a partner, someone who has your back no matter what. Lesson 2 – When a fight breaks out, sometimes you have to use your light saber; stand firm and lead by example. Lesson 3 – When you encounter aliens, don’t get captured. Sometimes a customer might seem alien to you, always go the extra mile regardless. Just know a time may come when you need to break away from the customer. Lesson 4 – Luke Skywalker earned the trust of aliens all over the galaxy, it is important to earn the same trust with your staff, customers and colleagues.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The weather was pretty good for Bath’s Halloween parade last Tuesday, not as cold as it sometimes is in October. Anyhow, it was another nice parade and a big crowd was there to see it. Thanks again to the firefighters for organizing it. . . .Since then it has been a lot colder. Ye Ed tells me he minded it even more after coming home from Atlanta, especially on Monday night after coming back. Says it seemed like a damp cold. Br-r-r-r-! . . . .By the way, he says that gas prices really varied down there. Prices like $1.98, $2.06, and $2.29 a gallon. . . . He was at his grandson Greg’s wedding that was more than halfway up a mountain with big homes that were rented in the middle of the thick forest, and roads that were blind curves most of the way, and without guard rails that had huge drop-offs. 35 MPH was the limit, but no way with curves and drop-offs like that. 20 MPH was the only safe speed, he says. . . .Just as I predicted, halfway through the playoffs, the Mets and Royals came out on top and are in the World Series. Mets fans are wearing their T-shirts, and if the team keeps pitching and hitting like they did in the playoffs I think they’ll win it in five games. . . . Is it like usual, or are there more dropped footballs in games these days? Even the Patriots had 11 on Sunday. And the one for the Eagles in the fourth quarter could have been the difference in winning or losing. Of course, they lost. And the Giants won. So there went first place. . . .Read the other day about a Northampton young man from Newport Avenue who went on a two-county burglary spree. I just wonder what makes kids get into something like that. Were they thinking about that while growing up in elementary school or middle school? What starts them out on crime? I reckon that’s just one of the mysteries of life, or maybe it’s that they’re into drugs. . . .Trick or treat nights are on Friday in some places and Saturday in others. Probably doesn’t matter as long as the kids are having lots of fun dressing up and filling up their bags with tons of candy. Turn on your porch lights, parents, so you
can see ‘em better. It’ll be safer for the kids, too. . . . Looked at my calendar and it called for a full moon for Tuesday. It was plenty full on Monday night already, and you could see the man in the moon real clear. . . . As the days get colder and the leaves fall down steadier, we’ll be getting into hunting seasons. I hope you got your doe license, guys. I hear they sold out of the 70,000 that were for Northampton County back on August 24th. . . .Glad I cut up some logs the other day. I think I’ll light up the fireplace with a few and warm up the old abode. Take care, gang, and I’ll be seeing you in seven.

BATH AREA LETTERS FROM OUR READERS I would like to thank the Moore Township Supervisor for keeping the township rural. They purchased land in Klecknersville with Farmland Preservation money. This fund was voted in by Moore Township residents in 2005 to be used only to preserve land. The land was approved for 32 homes. By purchasing the land, they also preserved the water table and quality (32 homes use a lot of water) not only for the village but surrounding areas. Once it is in preservation it can not be developed. I understand that the county will reimburse the development rights, close to half the cost. The supervisors then intend to sell the land and reimburse the township Farm Preservation Fund. This way they can buy more land for preservation. Sounds like a good investment to me. Another quick thank you to the 250th Anniversary Committee for their hard work. A wonderful weekend with no tax dollars spent. Jean Bealer Bath, PA Over 35 Yrs. Experience

A word from Marcia Hahn by Marcia Hahn
On Oct. 26 I joined the majority of my colleagues on the House Health Committee in passing legislation to address cases of welfare fraud that cross state lines. House Bill 1322, which received bipartisan support, may now be taken up by the full House. This piece of legislation attempts to ensure the dollars Pennsylvania spends on public assistance reach only the people who truly need them. We as a state and as a country direct a great deal of money to welfare, and House Bill 1322 addresses cases where services may be duplicated, resulting in abuse of the system. Under House Bill 1322, anyone who applies for general assistance must list their states of residence over the previous five years, should they have received similar assistance while living there. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services will then reach out to those states to inform them of the applicant’s intent. We’re simply trying to prevent attempts to beat the system by receiving benefits from more than one source. Medicare Questions – A representative from APPRISE, the free health insurance counseling program, is coming to my district office to answer your questions regarding Medicare Part D. Appointments are available Thursdays, through Nov. 26, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call 610746-2100. The office is located at 196 West Moorestown Road, Wind Gap. Congratulations to Moore Township’s Dorothy Shireman Gray, who recently celebrated her 100th birthday.

National Wine Tourism Day Celebrated in Andreas at Galen Glen Winery by KATHLEEN MATSON November 7 is National Wine Tourism Day. It is a day that celebrates wineries, and winerelated businesses throughout North America. One of the goals of Wine Tourism Day is to recognize the impact of wine on agritourism and the economy, as well as, urging the general public to plan trips to wine regions. The Lehigh Valley has been a recognized American Viticultural Area since 2008 and Galen Glen Winery is active in encouraging tourism to the area. On November 7, they will be offering a wine tourism special, while supplies last. The weekend will be the official unveiling of their newest dessert wine, Twilight. For $9, visitors can enjoy a pairing of twilight, which is made from Vidal Blanc grapes, handharvested on January 1, 2015 with a Japanese coconut-mango
mini-cheesecake. Visitors can enjoy wine tasting while looking out over the vineyard and the scenic 20-mile view. Galen Glen Winery is located in the beautiful rolling hills of Andreas Pennsylvania and was the only winery listed by Zagat in the "Top Ten Reasons to Drive to the Lehigh Valley." They were named "Best Winery-Pennsylvania" by the New York International Wine Competition in Manhattan and The Morning Call's, Reader's Choice 2015 "Best Winery and Vineyard." They were most recently recognized as the American leader in Gruner Veltliner, a grape they pioneered planting in 2003, with a double-gold medal in the Six Nations Wine Challenge in Australia. The vineyard is on the family's double-century farm and is full of history. The

Deer crossings Continued from page 4
the deer. A passing Pennsylvania motorist also may claim the deer, if the person whose vehicle hit it doesn't want it. Those taking possession roadkilled deer also are advised of rules related to chronic wasting disease (CWD) that prohibit the removal of high-risk deer parts – essentially the head and backbone – from any established Disease Management Area (DMA). Those parts must be removed before the deer is transported outside a DMA. For DMA maps, the complete list of high-risk parts and other information on CWD, visit the Game Commission's website at www.pgc.state. pa.us. Antlers from bucks killed in vehicle collisions either must be turned over to the Game Commission, or may be purchased for $10 per point by the person who claims the deer. Also, removing antlers from road-killed bucks is illegal. If a deer is struck by a vehicle, but not killed, drivers are urged to maintain their distance because some deer might recover and move on. However, if a deer does not move on, or poses a public safety risk, drivers are encouraged to report the incident to a Game Commission regional office or other local law-enforcement agency. If the deer must be put down, the Game Commission will direct the proper person to do so. To report a dead deer for removal from state roads, motorists can call the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation at 1-800-FIX-ROAD. Tips for motorists -Don't count on deer whistles or deer fences to deter deer from crossing roads in front of you. Stay alert. -Watch for the reflection of deer eyes and for deer silhouettes on the shoulder of the road. If anything looks slightly suspicious, slow down. -Slow down in areas known to have a large deer population; where deer-crossing signs are posted; places where deer commonly cross roads; areas where roads divide agricultural fields from woods; and whenever in forested areas between dusk and dawn. -Deer do unpredictable things.
Sometimes they stop in the middle of the road when crossing. Sometimes they cross and quickly re-cross back from where they came. Sometimes they move toward an approaching vehicle. Assume nothing. Slow down; blow your horn to urge the deer to leave the road. Stop if the deer stays on the road; don't try to go around it.
ANDY’S CORNER by ANDY WEAVER The 2015 fall sports season is in playoff mode for Blue Eagles sports.

They will play their last home game on Friday, October 30 when they host Parkland at 7 p.m., which is also Senior Night. The Nazareth Middle School Football Team played host to Easton on October 24 and won 20-8 to remain unbeaten.

Meals on Wheels Receives $50,000 grant
by JIM WATERS Meals on Wheels of Northampton County today received a $50,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation to expand its Better Fresh Project, launched last year to homebound seniors with farm fresh fruits and vegetables in their meals. “With Walmart’s support we are now able to provide more fresh produce in our meals to those who need it most,” said Meals on Wheels of Northampton County Executive Director JoAnn Bergeron Nenow. “Only 30 percent of individuals 65 and over eat five daily servings of fruits and vegetables daily. This show of support from Walmart will allow us to provide over 60,000 fresh, nutritious more meals annually.” Meals on Wheels of Northampton County, a regional branch of the nonprofit organization Meals on Wheels America, provides nutritious meals to homebound and disabled seniors. The organization prepares meals for 2,900 seniors in the Northampton, Monroe and Lehigh counties, of whom 500 are veterans of the U.S. Armed Services. While Meals on Wheels has always delivered high quality meals, older homebound adults tend to consume less produce than their more active peers. This lack of access to fruits and vegetables means an increased risk of diet related illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many forms of cancer. By expanding the Better Fresh Project, Meals on Wheels can provide more nutritious meals to those in need, help to sustain the local farm economy, and remain environmentally conscious by purchasing their produce from local organic farms which tend to avoid pesticide use. “Walmart is passionate in our fight against hunger in Pennsylvania and throughout the country,” said Jason Klipa, Walmart Director of Public Affairs and Government Relations in Pennsylvania. “After providing funds to launch the Better Fresh program last year, we’re proud to help Meals on Wheels expand. This donation will provide more fresh, nutritious meals to those in need, while supporting local farms.” In 2010, Walmart and the
Walmart Foundation launched "Fighting Hunger Together" – a $2 billion cash and in-kind commitment through 2015. This initiative leverages Walmart's size and resources to provide nutritious food and the Walmart Foundation's ability to grant funding to nonprofits that help elevate the issue. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave more than $26.6 million in cash and in-kind contributions to charitable organizations throughout Pennsylvania in 2013. Since the inception of Better Fresh, those who receive meals from Meals on Wheels have noticed drastic improvements in the taste and quality of meals they received. “We are so grateful to our friends at Walmart for their continued support of the Better Fresh Project which is achieving such wonderful success in helping to bolster the nutritional value of our meals for seniors who are so grateful to enjoy the benefits of locally grown fresh produce,” said Nenow.

Red Cross Introduces New RapidPass Online donor Health history
by COLIN RICCOBON American Red Cross blood and platelet donors can now help save lives in less time by using the new Red Cross RapidPass online health history system. RapidPass streamlines the donation experience by allowing donors to complete pre-donation reading and health history questions online from the convenience of a computer at home or work. It became available to donors lo-
Oct. 29-Nov. 4, 2015 11
cally on Monday and is expected to reduce the time donors with a RapidPass spend at blood drives by up to 15 minutes. “When people come to donate, they are giving more than blood or platelets – they are also generously giving their time,” said Colin Riccobon, external communications manager, Northeastern Pennsylvania Blood Services Region. “RapidPass is a simple, convenient way for Red Cross donors to make the most of their time while helping save lives.” To get a RapidPass on the day of a blood donation, donors should visit redcrossblood. org/rapidpass, complete all of the questions, then print their RapidPass or show it on a mobile device when they come to donate. Though an appointment isn’t needed to use RapidPass, donors are encouraged to make an appointment by using the Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS to further expedite their donation. How to donate blood All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

In Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula is a group of Tatar people with a Muslim religious heritage. Several years ago our missionary team identified this unreached people group and began praying specifically that God would open doors for ministry. Even as our personnel prayed, a Muslim woman was in a Christian Orthodox hospital on her deathbed. When her husband visited, expecting to find her dead, she was standing at the foot of her bed getting dressed. She insisted on leaving, telling nurses the doctor had visited her and given her permission to go home. The nurses said no doctor had visited her, but she was adamant. When she saw a picture on the wall, she exclaimed, “There is my doctor!” It was a picture of Jesus. The nurses explained it was just a picture, but she repeated that He was her doctor. The couple went home to their 5-year-old who had never walked, and the woman asked Dr. Jesus if He could help their child. In the middle of the night the father was awakened by the child running up and down the steps. Our personnel connected with this family and began to disciple them as they continue to bear witness about Dr. Jesus. About a dozen house churches are located where before there were no known churches or believers. Even with Ukraine’s current crisis, house groups are reaching out to unbelieving neighbors. The Assemblies of God drilled wells in the area to provide life-giving water these groups could share; they also share the eternal, life-giving water of Dr. Jesus. In Matthew 10:1 Jesus “called unto him his twelve disciples” and “gave” them spiritual authority. Jesus is calling His disciples unto Himself today. When we come into intimate and personal contact with Jesus, abiding in Him and He in us, He gives the spiritual authority and the empowerment we need to do His work for His glory. –Assemblies of God World Missions

Halloween: A Sweet Time for Family, Fun and Traditions
(Family Features) Halloween is a fun time of year meant to be celebrated with friends and family. While the holiday originated more than 2,000 years ago with Celtic tribes, the traditions of dressing in disguises and celebrating with food and drink endure to this day. According to a survey conducted by the National Confectioners Association, more than three quarters of Americans will hand out candy to trick-or-treaters this year and many others will participate in community sponsored Halloween events, display a seasonal candy bowl or attend a Halloween party. No matter what age group, Halloween is a time to let loose and have some fun. Here are some tips to help you and your family make the most of this sweet and spooky holiday: Make new traditions together. While trick-or-treating is a perennial favorite Halloween activity, don’t be afraid to expand your options. Many families already enjoy things like carving a jacko-lantern or attending a family oriented Halloween party. For some new ideas, try transforming your home into a haunted house with spooky displays, decorating customized trick-or-treat bags or even going on a hayride at a local farm. It doesn’t matter what you are doing as long as you can spend time with loved ones. Amp up the spook-factor with creepy treats. Candy is a special part of Halloween, and one of life’s little pleasures that is meant to be enjoyed as a treat during the holiday. On Halloween, candy shaped like eyeballs, brains or spiders can be a fun way to create a memorable celebration. Parents are 24 percent more likely than non-parents to pick creepy candy over other Halloween themes. Enjoy candy in moderation. With lots of treats being handed out on Halloween, it’s a good time to keep moderation in mind. Nearly 80 percent of parents surveyed report that they have a plan in place to help their children make smart decisions when it comes to the enjoyment of treats. NCA’s moderation guides are a handy way to make sure you treat right on Halloween or any day of the year. Let your children enjoy some candy on Halloween and then portion out two or three treats into small bags for enjoyment later. For school-age children, consider slipping a small piece of candy into their lunch boxes as a fun surprise.
Remember that safety comes first. There are a number of easy ways to make the evening a safe and enjoyable one. Wear lightcolored clothing that’s short enough to prevent tripping and add reflective tape to the sides, front and back of costumes. Trick-or-treat before the sun is completely set and carry a flashlight in case of delay. Finally, try to stay within your neighborhood and only visit homes you know. Learn more about Halloween traditions and how to enjoy sweets in moderation at CandyUSA.com/HalloweenCentral. There you can also find great recipes, moderation tips and guides, craft ideas and safety reminders to make sure you enjoy a spooktacular holiday.

Home News hunting Hunters can help protect against Avian Influenza via the Pennsylvania Game Commission While Pennsylvania has not yet been impacted by the high path avian influenza (HPAI), state officials continue emphasizing the need for vigilance against the deadly poultry disease. Officials from the state Department of Agriculture and the Game Commission are ensuring hunters understand the seriousness of this virus and know the signs to look for when out this hunting season. “We understand the importance of hunting here in Pennsylvania and don’t want to discourage anyone from enjoying this recreational pastime,” said Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. “However, we want hunters to be aware of the signs of HPAI. If any hunters were to come in contact
with an infected bird, we’d want them to know the signs to minimize the spread of the virus.” Avian influenza or bird flu is a respiratory disease of birds caused by an influenza TypeA virus. The virus can infect poultry including chicken, ducks, quail, pheasants, guinea, fowl and turkeys as well as some wild bird species such as ducks, swans and geese. The high path strain, which is extremely infectious and spreads rapidly, is often fatal to domestic poultry. Signs of HPAI in poultry include: sudden death, marked loss of appetite, reduced feed consumption, cessation of normal flock vocalization, drops in egg production, depression, coughing, nasal and ocular discharge, swollen face, cyanosis of comb/wattles, di-

arrhea (often green in color), and nervous signs such as paralysis. Historically, HPAI in wild birds has been very rare; however, the H5 HPAI virus strains that circulated in North American wild and domestic birds last winter and spring caused disease in certain species of waterfowl and raptors. For waterfowl, HPAI virus infection in ducks is usually asymptomatic, whereas geese are more likely to show signs of disease. Hunters, please click to read tips for handling harvested birds. The linked article also includes biosecurity measures that hunters are encouraged to follow to help prevent any possible movement or introduction of HPAI into a poultry flock. Game Commission Executive Director R. Matthew Hough urged hunters to follow all recommendations regarding the handling of harvested game birds and waterfowl, and to do their part to remain vigilant against HPAI. HPAI poses threats to both domestic poultry and wild birds, meaning the more than 200,000 ring-necked pheasants raised each year for release on public hunting grounds also are at risk if the virus is introduced into Pennsylvania. “Because of the time they spend in the field, observing and hunting migratory birds and other wildlife, hunters very much are on the front lines when it comes to protecting Pennsylvania from high path avian influenza,” Hough said. “We all remain hopeful the virus won’t show up here, but if it does, we are prepared to react and react quickly. “Hunters need to educate themselves to know the clinical signs of HPAI, and employ safe practices in handling wild birds they harvest,” Hough said. “We all are in this together.” While HPAI has not yet been identified in Pennsylvania, Hough said the state’s hunters could be affected if
it turns up here. Access likely would be prohibited to areas or facilities associated with the virus, due to biosecurity needs. As always, it’s important for hunters to know where they’re hunting. And for those hunting on private land, particularly farms with poultry, hunters are urged to contact the landowners to make sure they still allow
hunting on their property. For more information about avian influenza, visit the department’s website at www.agriculture.pa.gov or the United States Department of Agriculture’s website at www.usda.gov.
