For more than a half hour Bath’s Halloween parade went along very well and was viewed by hundreds, perhaps as many as a thousand people, last Tuesday night, but at 7:40 p.m. it started to rain. Still, the
show went on and was enjoyed as spectators crowded along the Main Street sidewalks. They enjoyed seeing the groups marching, colorful floats, and hearing the sounds of music by the Northampton Area Senior High School Big “N” Band and the Middle
School Band. One of the nicest floats was that of the Bath Fire Social Hall, fully loaded with pink balloons “Helping Turn Bath Pink,” in tribute to the monthlong cancer awareness campaign. Cub Scouts from Pack 33, Pack 43, and Pack 50 brought plenty of excitement, along with football teams like the Bath Lions and Moore Township Mountain Hawks and their cheerleaders. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts also put on a good show. Of course, since tit was sponsored by the Bath Firefighters and Ambulance Corps, they had several of their neighboring fire and ambulance units joining the parade with all of their equipment, blowing their horns and sounding their sirens. Nazareth Fire Police had two of their men directing traffic north and south on busy Rt. 512 (Walnut Street), stopping vehicles only when the divisions of marchers came along, or when people wanted to cross the street.

Annual Gourd Contest at George Wolf By CATHERINE STROH The Home News
The first grade Annual Gourd Contest took place last week at George Wolf Elementary School in Bath. Unangst Farm was kind enough to donate all the gourds used for the contest and the children had a great time. Over 80 students decorated gourds at home and brought them in for display. The entire school and staff voted for their favorite decorations.
Four classes participated and one winner was selected from each class. The owners of Unangst Farm are happy to be a part of the contest. They attended George Wolf School themselves, as do their children. They donate apples (for the apple/applesauce unit) and gourds for the contest every year.

Bath had one of the biggest contingents, led by their black dragon. Moore Elementary School was also well represented. Two businesses in the lineup were Fahey Dental and Miklas Rental. All in all, it was another fine Halloween parade. The Bath Firefighters, we’re sure, appreciated the donations that came in the mail to help them put on the show. They thanked a long list of sponsors who made the parade possible. Congratulations to all the participants! Winners List The judges selected these winners, announced by Alyssa Kline: • Best Appearing Girl Scouts – Troop #8391. • Best Appearing Boy Scouts – Troop #43. • Best Appearing Small Float – Bath Social Hall. • Best Appearing Large Float – Bath Lions Football and Cheerleaders. • Judges’ Choice – Girl Scout Troops 8391 and 8504. Jimmy Pasquariello of the Bath Fire Co. Social Hall said the ladies of the Social Hall, his wife Pam, Heather Smith Phyllis Lerch, and Lorene Pasquariello, spent countless hours making the more than 3,000 paper flowers that were attached to the truck for the parade. “A lot of effort went into decorating the truck” he said. Congratulations to all of the winners.

D&L Trail to Benefit from $217,375 State Grant Submitted by TRICIA LEHMAN State Rep. Julie Harhart (R-Lehigh/Northampton) announced last week that a $217,375 grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority under its Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program to the Delaware and Lehigh National Corridor for a connector project on the D&L Trail. “The D&L Trail is a great recreational resource here in the Lehigh Valley. This funding will ensure outdoor enthusiasts will be able to bike and hike along the entire expanse of the trail without interruption,” said Harhart. “The D&L Trail has been a huge, long-term project and this funding will ensure a vital piece of the project reaches completion.” Funding will be used to install two pedestrian bridges and replace a broken storm water pipe along the D&L Trail. The 165-mile long D&L Trail has three physical gaps in the Lehigh Valley between
Northampton and Allentown. This project will eliminate the three gaps and connect this approximately seven mile stretch of trail to the completed trail sections to the immediate north and south. The proposed bridge over the Dry Run portion of the trail will be constructed in a way to accept the load of construction and emergency vehicles and both bridges will be ADA compliant. Funding for the grant comes from impact fees placed on drilling activity in the Marcellus Shale region, which was made possible under Act 13 of 2012.

TURN BATH PINK Makes History with Human Ribbon
By ALICE WANAMAKER On Saturday, Oct. 18 the TURN BATH PINK Committee, along with 130 participants, made history by creating a human ribbon to raise awareness for the many different types of cancer. The ribbon, an international sign of awareness, was made up of cancer survivors, those who have lost loved ones to cancer, those who continue to fight every day and their families and friends who support them. The aerial photo was shot by photographer Lori Stack and is now available for purchase with $5 from each photo being donated to TURN BATH PINK and research for a cure. Order forms are available at the Bath Borough Office weekdays from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Eight by 10 photos are $10 each and all orders are due by Nov. 1, 2014. TURN BATH PINK is an initiative of Bath Mayor Fiorella Reginelli-Mirabito. The month long celebration of life and hope wrapped up this past weekend with an auction at the Bath Fire Co. Social Hall. For more information, find them on facebook at “Turn Bath Pink” or visit www. turnbathpink.com. Mayor Mirabito and her planning committee are looking forward to next years celebrations.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 The Meeting After MY TOP 7 MEETING RULES for LEADERS
By CAROL RITTER
Have you ever attended a meeting that was just unproductive and lasted longer than the Cold War? I’m sure you have, and I just attended one. The meeting was led by a person who had no idea that people didn’t want to listen to her complain. I was daydreaming about what I could be doing, the person next to me was pretending to get work related messages while playing a game on his phone, and on the other side of me was a woman drawing pictures. When the meeting adjourned, the “meeting after the meeting” began. “Why didn’t someone stop her, we got nothing accomplished because she likes to hear herself talk” we wondered, but in the end, at the “meeting after the meeting,” attendees all knew where the buck stopped; with the leadership. It was that meeting that led me to create...
1. We teach people how to treat us. Teach your committee that you will Start on Time and End on Time. 2. Have a timed agenda -each person gets a fair amount of time to talk (this works, i’ve used it many times). 3. Prioritize the agenda - have the most important items at the beginning. 4. Keep it Fair - make sure all in attendence have the opportunity to contribute (silence many times means trouble). 5. Keep it moving-you are the leader and you have to be willing to step in when someone is taking over your meeting. 6. Be flexible-if one important topic needs more than the 5 minutes alotted, ask the group for consensus on extending the time. 7. Measure your success - review the accomplishments of the meeting at the end by summing up what happened and what needs to be done for the next meeting. If we ran our meetings like Twitter you would only be allowed 140 characters to talk. If we ran our meetings properly there would be no need for the “meeting after the meeting!”

Wright Veterinary Clinic Welcomes New Doctor
Submitted by RHONDA KROMER Dr. Adrienne Breaux moved several times in her childhood but primarily lived in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She graduated from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine was acquired from the North Carolina State University (NCSU). While in college, Dr. Breaux volunteered at the local animal shelter and continues to value shelter work. She focused on feline medicine throughout veterinary school and has a keen interest in feline geriatric medicine, weight management, oncology and behavior. She found another love while at NCSU– turtle medicine–and was the co-president of the NCSU Turtle Rescue Team with her classmate and current colleague, Dr. Jennifer Hendricks. In her free time Dr. Breaux enjoys spending time with friends, reading her Kindle, and cuddling with her two cats. When weather permits, she loves to walk nature trails and usually ends up looking at animals more than the trail itself. She is a passionate supporter of wildlife and takes an active role in conservation and rehabilitation.

St. Luke’s School Of Nursing Celebrates 130 Years Of Excellence In Nursing Education School Is Oldest Nursing School in the Nation
Alumni 87: Sandra Davidyock, RN, President of the St. Luke’s School of Nursing Alumni Association, provides a tour to alumni in the St. Luke’s Museum, located on the campus of the St. Luke’s University Hospital - Bethlehem. – Contributed photos school in the United States. Submitted by Denise Rader
When Dr. William Estes established the St. Luke’s School of Nursing in 1884, he modeled it after the nursing school at Bellevue Hospital in New York, NY. At Bellevue, he observed superior nursing service and generally superior patient treatment compared to other New York City hospitals. At the time, St. Luke’s was the fourth hospital in the country to establish a school of nursing. Today, St. Luke’s School of Nursing is the oldest nursing
Nine students were accepted the first year of the program with graduates including Minnie Agnes Ernst of Bethlehem, PA and Minerva Anne Jordan of Riegelsville, PA. During the school’s early days, students were taught the general principles of nursing, how to observe and record symptoms, how to manage helpless patients and received instruction on how to bandage and make beds.

1886 Group Shot: Dr. William Estes (front, center) poses with his associates and the St. Luke’s School of Nursing, Class of 1886. flourished during the 1920s and 30s. During World War II, St. Luke’s School of Nursing was approved for the Cadet Nurse Corps program. The explosion of technical knowledge that followed World War II offered nurses the opportunity to specialize in a particular area in nursing. In 1962, the school was awarded full accreditation from the National League for Nursing and remains fully accredited to this day. In 1965, many of the diploma schools around the country closed, but St. Luke’s enrollment remained healthy. College credits were added to the curriculum in 1969. In August 1972, St. Luke’s School of Nursing admitted its first male students. “The school has been partners with the Visiting Nurses Association since 1936, helping people with home healthcare. In 1956, we started offering scholarships so more local students could become nurses, and more than thirty years ago, St. Luke’s was one of the first schools to admit male students,” said Sandra Medics, RN, MSN, CNM, Director, St. Luke’s School of Nursing. “Our commitment to our students is demonstrated by the fifty to sixty percent of our nursing school graduates who are hired annually at St. Luke’s,” she continued. Throughout the last decades of the 20th century, St. Luke’s remained flexible to the needs of the community, at different times offering an evening-weekend curriculum to help meet the shortage of nurses, and changing the curriculum to incorporate computer-assisted documentation and evidence-based practice, according to Carol Kuplen, RN, MSN, Chief Nursing Officer, St. Luke’s University Health Network, and COO, St. Luke’s University Hospital – Bethlehem. “St. Luke’s School of Nursing pioneered how nurses became an integral part of the medical community throughout the twentieth century,” said Kuplen. “The school has helped to transform healthcare, and our graduates positively affect the lives of people every day.” More than 4,000 nurses have graduated from St. Luke’s School of Nursing, with current estimates of living alumni at 2,700. “The Alumni Association of St. Luke’s was organized in 1897 with the vision to unite St. Luke's
School of Nursing students and graduates through dedication to the common goal of education in the healing arts profession,” said Sandra Davidyock, RN, Class of 1969, President, St. Luke’s School of Nursing Alumni Association. “With a tradition steeped in history, St. Luke’s alumni nurses can be found in hospitals, schools and the military and have been in caring for people through conflicts beginning in World War II to present Iraq and Afghanistan,” she said. The Alumni Association offers scholarships to students and supports the educational efforts of the school. The Alumni Association held its 130th Homecoming in midOctober and honored seventeen 50th Anniversary graduates attending the event. The Homecoming celebration was special to Sandra Davidyock, as well, who is celebrating her 45th anniversary as a St. Luke’s School of Nursing alumna. Alumni celebrating 50 year anniversaries that attended the Homecoming event included the following: Susan Bechtel, Easton; Charlotte Blair, Bethlehem; Karen Brandis, Jim Thorpe; Ellie Darrohn, Allentown; Claire Fisher, Orlando, FL; Helen Hancock, Chevy Chase, MD; Maarja Latshaw, Naples, FL; Sandra Mahoney, McCormick, SC; Bonnie Marshall, Berwyn, PA; Joann Marzola, Allentown; Diana Mc-
Gonigle, Sunset, SC; Karen Pysher, Bethlehem; Suzanne Scindo, Stroudsburg; Judith Sopko, Bethlehem; Janice Stackhouse, Nazareth; Thelma Thompson, West Middlesex, PA; and Frances Walters, Cranbury, NJ. Today, college credits in science and liberal arts are prerequisites to entering the nursing program. During the 20-month nursing curriculum, students receive 900 hours of clinical practice in a variety of health care settings. Students are provided every opportunity to grow and develop personally and professionally throughout their student nursing experience. Computerassisted learning and state-ofthe-art simulation technology is used to enhance nursing education. Today’s St. Luke’s School of Nursing graduates are educated to provide nursing care as part of an interdisciplinary health care team. Applications are currently being accepted for the class beginning September 2015.

Silent auction ends Turn Bath Pink week By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
More than 100 baskets filled with donations of gifts provided by local and area businesses were lined up in four rows in the Bath Social Hall on Saturday and Sunday. The Pink Auction, as it was called, otherwise known as a basket party, helped raise over $11,000 as people bought sheets of tickets and dropped them in cans marked with numbers that corresponded with the baskets. The event was the last of several during the month of October, part of Turn Bath Pink, helping to raise cancer awareness as well as money for the American Cancer Society. Bath’s Mayor Fiorella Reginelli Mirabito greeted everyone as they came into the hall. The social club president, Jim Pasquariello, was also there, along with other members who volunteered their time. Members of the Social Hall put a lot of work into it, both with a pick-up truck covered with more than 3,000 paper carnations, and a float that was loaded with pink balloons. They stood in front of the hall for motorists and passersby to see – and also to attract customers.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip It started to rain in the middle of the Bath Halloween parade last Tuesday, but for most of it, everybody had a good time watching their friends dressed in costumes and having loads of fun. It looked to me like one of the biggest crowds we’ve had in years. It was fairly warm in comparison to past years. Hats off to the Bath Firefighters for putting the parade on again. They always do a great job. . . . Marvin Werkheiser was on his way home from the parade as it started to rain. When he tried to make a left turn on to Snyder’s Church Rd. he got in an accident. Fortunately, I hear his injuries were minor, but his vehicle hadta be totaled. . . .With Bingo and bands, the fire social hall has been a busy place. Even more so lately with that wildlife program last week and now this past weekend the two-day pink “auction”. They say it’s like a tricky tray or Chinese auction, which all the gals love. All I know is they had a load of baskets filled with prizes that businesses donated and then you put numbered slips in slots, hoping to be a winner. I don’t know who the winners were. I know it wasn’t me, but it was for a good cause, raising money for the American Cancer Society, and that’s what matters. . . . If you like music, and who doesn’t, I hear there’s gonna be a couple concerts over Nazareth way come Sunday, November 9th. One is by that 60-voice Nazareth Area Community Chorus and another is an organ concert. The chorus will be singing their hearts out up at Schoeneck Moravian Church on the North Broad Street extension. It starts at 2 o’clock, accord-
ing to what I hear from Elmer and Alice Yeakel. They’re even gonna have cookies and cider. Any money they take in is gonna help out the Nazareth Food Bank. Then, a couple hours later, at 4 o’clock, Peter Richard Conte who’s famous for playing the Wanamaker organ down in Philly, will be giving an organ recital at St. John’s UCC Church on South Broad Street. Admission is $18, but it’s worth it to hear all that good music, twice in one day. . . . The World Series is on between those San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals. I’m not an American League fan, but I rooted for K.C. in the beginning since they haven’t won for a long time and the Giants have had a couple Series wins under their belts in the last four years. It’s been real exciting so far. Between pitcher Madison Bumgarner and that wild hitter Hunter Pence I don’t know who’s better. It’s Monday as I’m penning this and it looks like the Giants are gonna take it all. Hooray for the National League! . . . Those dreaded Dallas Cowboys are in first place, but thank goodness the Washington Redskins beat ’em on Monday. The Eagles came close to beating the Arizona Cardinals, but it didn’t happen. It was a real exciting game, and the Eagles had a chance until the last few seconds, but it was another loss to those Cardinals again. . . . Locally, our high school teams aren’t doing very good either. The Konkrete Kids lost 42-7 to Stroudsburg and the Blue Eagles were knocked off 41-6 by Parkland. Oh well, sports are good for our young people. That’s the way life goes. You win some and you lose some. . . .This Friday is Halloween,

Bath Bowling Team 1 Remains in First Place in Bath Die Hards League Team 1 still holds first place in the Bath Die Hards League, but Team 4 put on the pressure big time as they hold second place by a half game following action on Oct. 22.

Outdoor Enthusiasts:
Create a Plan for Wildlife to Thrive on Your Land (StatePoint) Whether your home rests on a small lot or a large woodland, there are steps you can take to create a thriving ecosystem for local wildlife. And if you live on woodlands, you may even consider turning your property into an ideal game habitat. Deer, for example, could use more healthy land, say experts. There are roughly 15 million white tailed deer
in this country, according to Cornell University Statistics -and this explosive population is always looking for a good habitat. With a little foresight and planning, it’s possible to attract and maintain a healthy deer herd -- complete with mature, trophy-class bucks -- on relatively small woodland tracts. “The key to success is providing for a herd’s four basic

needs -- food, water, cover and space -- throughout the year, by actively managing your woodland with deer in mind,” says Mike Burns, a forester who uses My Hunting Land Plan, a website from the American Forest Foundation that has free land management resources, such as a mapping tool that can be used to mark out features on your land. But landowners need to be proactive. Without a hands-on approach, woodlands tend to evolve into low-quality wildlife habitats. With that in mind, the experts at My Hunting Land Plan are offering some tips for creating a thriving home for deer and other creatures. • Discing: Also known as strip disking, discing is disturbing the soil through shallow tillage to stimulate the growth of native grasses and the resprouting of many woody species. It also helps control brush. • Creating openings: Depending on the surrounding landscape and size of your woods, about 10 percent of your forest acreage should consist of openings. Create them by clear-cutting one- to five-acre patches throughout larger forests. • Monitor your wildlife: Trail cams can be a great way to see what you have in your woods and track them throughout the year. Place your trail cams on larger tree trunks in areas where you have seen signs of animals. Be sure to mount it at the height of the animal you want to track. • Managing trees: Removing undesirable trees and cultivating mast-producing ones can help nourish and attract wildlife. Ideally, 20 to 30 percent of your woodland should consist of these fruit- and nutbearing trees. • Share: If your land is really thriving, show it off by uploading trail cam photos or pictures from your woods, or answer the questions of others within the community “ask a forester” section on the My Hunting
Land Plan website at www. MyHuntingLandPlan.org. • Plan: Advance planning is crucial. Use free resources, such as My Hunting Land Plan’s journal to log your projects. The site’s mapping feature is easy and intuitive to use and can be used to mark
out the locations of trail cams, as well as your deer-hunting stand. Anyone with land can create a healthy ecosystem by being proactive -- whether the intention is to attract trophyclass bucks to your woodlands or hummingbirds to a small garden.

Congratulations to last issue’s winner: * * * RITA SAYEGH * * *
By CATHERINE STROH Imagine a perfect, painfree world where everybody gets along in a blissful state of pleasant peacefulness. A world without war, where nobody breaks the rules, nobody hurts one another, and everybody is healthy, happy, and satisfied in life. Wouldn’t it be nice if everybody were pure, faultless, and constantly polite? Wouldn’t it be nice to never feel heartbreak, anger, stress, or any other unpleasant emotion? Now imagine a world where everything is decided for you: What you wear, what you eat, what time you go to bed and wake up, what you do for a living; even who your partner is and who your children will be. Can you imagine if it was a rule to take a pill every day to make sure you didn’t feel anything? Would you enjoy a world where you are watched and your every action is recorded and noted from the moment you are born to the moment you are euthanized? A world where everything is in black and white and nothing exists outside of your community? These two worlds exist hand in hand in the journey of a boy, a community, and a world: Lois Lowry’s The Giver. As you delve into The Giver, you learn of a community that abides by Sameness; climate control, color control, etc. The people, or more realistically, drones, have no memory or knowledge of the world before Sameness, and they know nothing of death; the term Elsewhere, an unknown, magical, peaceful place where the old and unfit for the community are sent, is used instead. Only one person in the entire community has memory of the previous world before Sameness—the Receiver of Memory. As the children reach age 12, they are given their assignment—their career for the rest of their time. The Elders of the community, a board of select people, watch each resident closely to determine what assignment will suit them best. The main character, Jonas, an intelligent, brave, special boy, is given the most important assignment of all—the new Receiver of Memory. As he begins his training, he meets with the old Receiver of Memory, who then becomes The Giver as he gives Jonas memories of the old world. Jonas discovers wonderful
things, such as weather, colors, books, and love. However, Jonas must also carry the sorrow of poaching, war, and hunger with him. Through his training, Jonas realizes the importance of choosing and thinking for oneself. One day, he finally observes that being sent Elsewhere really means to be euthanized. Jonas can no longer stand to live in the place he once called home, and he and The Giver devise a plan for him to escape and therefore release all his memories to the community of what the world once was. The Giver is an emotional, eye-opening, beautifully told story by Lois Lowry. It is an easy, quick read for any age group and is a book I believe everyone should read. The Giver opens one’s eyes to what the world could be like, and makes one appreciate the freedoms in life we take for granted. This book teaches us that it is okay to make mistakes, it is okay to be imperfect, and it is beautiful to be human.

This house dates to the late 1870s or 1880s, as it does not appear on the 1876 Lehigh County Map. It was original-
ly a farmhouse; the property consisted of many acres on all sides, including two large barns, a large fruit orchard behind the house, and the park land across the street. Paul and Jean Schneck bought the home in 1953 and lived in the home for 45 years before selling it to their son and daughter-in-law, Andrew & Raenette Schneck, in 1998. Andrew is a direct descendant (8th generation) of Adam Schneck, the founder of Schnecksville. The home is a 2 ½ story brick farmhouse with nearly 10' ceilings throughout. It features pine flooring throughout, as well as an open stairwell and stained glass windows and transom. The exterior of the structure is red brick with white trim and green shutters. Over the past 16 years, eighteen windows have been replaced and three chimneys removed. In 2006 an addition was added, at which time the deteriorating slaughter house and smoke house were razed.

Qualifications Of A Savior
In his book, “A Savior Worth Having,” E.V. Hill listed the qualifications of a savior stating, “I have to have someone who was a part of the beginning, in fact, who was the beginning! One by whom everything that was made was made and without whom nothing was made. One who was not a graduate of seminary, not a graduate of philosophy, not a follower of some teacher…somebody who is acquainted with all the generations and with all of time. I need somebody who can deal with all the aspects of living and learning…somebody who knows how to deal with the brokenhearted. I need…someone who knows how to instruct, who’s not guessing and who doesn’t have to read a book himself, for he himself is the book…I don’t need somebody who takes my problems and rushes to the library for answers. I need somebody who is the library! I need a savior who will be everlasting…somebody who can walk with me through the valley of the shadow of death!” Only Jesus Christ qualifies as the Savior! “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3). He said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last” (Revelation 22:13), "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6), "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved" (John 10:9). John the Baptist introduced Jesus as The Only Savior and Sacrifice provided for all people. "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). Jesus said, "I am the resurrection" (John 11:25) and then proved it by raising Lazarus from the dead. As Jesus foretold, He was crucified and was resurrected three days later; indisputably proving the veracity of all His claims! The Apostle Peter declared Jesus to be the Only Savior! "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Will you accept Jesus now as your Savior?
garage was built. In 2010 the rear porch was refurbished and a laundry room was added. Two pine trees fell on the house during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 . This set into motion the removal of the remaining trees and landscaping planted around in the early 20th century. Stone from the smoke house was used in landscaping around the home. During the past decade, the bedroom and living room floors were exposed and refinished. In 2014 the two remaining first level floors were refinished. Most recently, the hand pump from the original hand dug well was repaired and placed back into service. Future plans consist of a complete remodel of the kitchen, as well as the first floor bathroom, which will be expanded into a full bath.
American Red Cross needs Your blood
Submitted by COLIN RICCOBON The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to make a point to give blood before the busy holiday season arrives. Blood donations often decline between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day as people become busy with holiday festivities. Donors are needed in the weeks leading up to the winter holidays to help prevent these seasonal declines. Donors of all blood types, and especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative, are needed now to help maintain a stable blood supply. Blood donation appointments can be made through the Red Cross Blood Donor App – a faster, more convenient way to schedule and manage donation appointments, especially for donors on the go. The app also allows users to track donation histories, earn rewards and
What is your favorite season of the year? Is it the cold barrenness of winter or the warming trends of springtime? Whatever your response, this autumn season may best portray the creativity and beauty of the Master Artist. King David rightly reminds us: “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens” (Psalm 8:1). The heavens are the work of God’s fingers by which He has set in place the moon, stars and universal wonders As we look at the creative colors this beautiful fall season, let us use our experiences to discover some God moments. Notice the changing seasons as concrete love expressions of God both for us and all of creation. As the Master Artist, God seeks to remind us that He is a God who has designed into nature traces of His care and blessings. In our enjoyment of the seasons we need to remember that the ultimate expression of God as Heavenly Father is seen in the sacrificial life and death of His, Son, Jesus Christ. In a world of violence, unrest, hatred and fanatical killings, let us remember that God is still a God of justice and righteousness who will have the final say by His judgment upon all evil. In a world of uncertainty with many people driven by fear, let us revive our trust in God as the One who rules and holds all leaders and all nations accountable. The Lord breaks the arm of the wicked and evil by calling each erson to be accountable for their wickedness. “The Lord is King for ever and ever” (Psalm 10: 15-16). Woodbridge expressed it this way: “Faith is the eye that sees Him, the hand that clings to Him. the receiving power that appropriates Him.” In other words, the problems ahead of us are not as great as the power of God behind us. Let us rejoice in a God who imparts faith and confidence even in these troublesome times.

Local Men Appeal To PFBC to Forget Class “A” Streams
Mike Topping, president of the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, and John Berry, a delegate from the Delaware River Shad Restoration Association, traveled to Farmington, Pa. recently to attend a meeting of the PA Fish andBoat Commission in which testimony was received on the proposed change of a number of streams to Class “A”, which represent the best of the naturally reproducing trout fisheries in the state. Before the meeting, the PFBC had received 135 public comments on this issue, with a nine to one ratio opposed to the move. The two local men gave their reasoning and the stand taken by the Federation against the change as well. This is the statement made by Topping in opposition to the proposal, knowing that the majority of the commissioners are members of Trout Unlimited, who favor fly fishing: Everyone who cares about the environment, especially the condition of the streams and rivers, would like the PA Fish and Boat Commission and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to do everything in their collective powers to protect and, where possible, improve the quality of the waters in Pennsylvania.
By classifying certain waters as “Class A”, protection from the effects of Marcellus Shale drilling, as well as other types of development will help to insure that degradation of area steams does not occur. However, as presently written, this attempt to protect our waters will also greatly reduce the fishing opportunities for many fishermen and fisherwomen. The Monocacy and Saucon creeks in Bethlehem, the Little Lehigh Creek in Allentown, the Pohophoco Creek in Lehighton and Martins Creek are streams that should serve the needs of all fishermen and fisherwomen in their vicinity. Literally thousands of adults and, especially, thousands of children can walk to these waters and fish. If these streams are to be considered “Class A”, they must be allowed to be stocked during the season with “all tackle” use so that they can serve the needs of the entire fishing population, not just a few “fly fishermen”. Children, especially, have to be initiated into the fiishing fraternity with success. This means lots of fish and the use of worms or other bait to catch them. Presently, a large portion of Saucon Creek is considered a “Class A Trophy Trout Streem” and as such, is unstocked. Therefore, except with the use of artificial lures, fishing remains closed within the City Of Bethlehem’s Saucon Park to anglers who grew up bait fishing and wish to continue to fish with bait. This restriction has resulted in mostly fly-fishing only in that section of the creek. Most adults and almost all kids do not have the patience, equipment, or skill to be fly fishermen. If the proposed

regulations are approved, the Monocacy, Little Lehigh, Pohopoco and Martins creeks could suffer the same fate. In time, this will result in the lack of recruitment of young anglers, less license sales and ultimately the “death” of trout fishing in Pennsylvania. No in-season stockings, including kids and adult fishing contests sponsored by local sportsmen’s clubs and other organizations, is a recipe for disaster and, if implemented, will lead to a lack of care or interest by many sportsmen’s clubs in the welfare of their local streams. Historically,
many sportsmen’s clubs, which represent the majority of anglers in Pennsylvania, have provided the money and manpower to protect, improve and maintain these streams. The Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs recognizes the need to protect our streams, including the wetland and floodplain areas adjacent to them. However, we do not agree that restricting the stocking of fish or the types of fishing tackle that can be used is appropriate, especially in the urban areas of our state.
This does nothing to protect the streams and only makes it difficult for many people to connect with and fish their local waterways. In January 2015, agency biologists will likely nominate 10 new stream sections to the Class “A” list. Currently stocked are streams in six counties – Carbon, Centre, Clinton, Bedford, Lehigh and Northampton. If adopted as Class “A”, the Monocacy, Little Lehigh and Martins Creeks in this area would automatically be removed from the trout stocking list.

Wild Weekend Sees Phantoms Win Two
By TONY ANDROCKITIS The Home News Sports
Despite all that transpired over the weekend, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms battled their way to two victories in their first three games in three nights set of the season. Before Friday’s game, rookie defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere was recalled by the Philadelphia Flyers. That made an already young core even more thin, with only six blue liners on the roster.
It looked as though they would start the weekend off with a loss to rival Hershey, trailing 2-1 in the third period - vastly out shot and out chanced. With six minutes left to play, rookie forward Taylor Leier tallied his first pro goal to tie the game and the Phantoms scored on their next two shots to turn the tides. The threegoal outburst in 1:53 of play gave them a thrilling comefrom-behind win at home, their second exciting finish in front of the home fans at

PPL Center in just their second home game of the season. “It's awesome, especially at home” Leier said of the third period rally Friday night. “Scoring three goals like that was pretty cool. It's good for the city to get the fans behind us, they're excited for every game. It was a good feeling, but it was just good to chip in and get the win.” Saturday saw more adversity as forward Petr Straka was held out with an injury, in addition to forward Brett Hextall’s absence this weekend due to injury. The injuries continued as defenseman Mark Alt left the game in the first period with an apparent upper body injury, forcing the Phantoms to play down a defenseman the rest of the game. More trouble struck halfway through the first period as a fight broke out and enforcer Zack Stortini was ejected from the game, leaving the Phantoms bench short two players for the final 50 minutes of regulation. The Phantoms scored three unanswered goals in the second period and looked well on their way to a 4-2 win in the final 30 seconds of the third, but their
opponent – the Binghamton Senators – tallied two goals in the final 15 seconds to tie the game and force overtime. The Senators came on strong in the overtime period, with momentum on their side after scoring two goals 8.7 seconds apart in the final seconds of regulation. Like the Phantoms did on Friday
night, they found a way to win. Promising rookie forward prospect Scott Laughton tallied the game-winning goal with 1:20 left in overtime to lift the Phantoms to their fourth win of the season. “Obviously it’s not what you want to do,”Phantoms assistant captain Darroll Powe said after the game. “Kind of blew a two-goal lead with a minute left, but we showed a lot of resiliency, battled back and got that goal by Laughts [Scott Laughton].” Prior to Sunday’s game in Hershey – the Phantoms’ third game in three nights – the league suspended forward Jay Rosehill for three games for an illegal check to the head of an opponent in Friday night’s game. With Rosehill joining the list of players out of the lineup, the Phantoms were without five players who started the weekend on the roster. The injuries, call ups and suspensions caught up with them in Sunday’s game in Hershey, as the Bears took a 2-0 lead into the third period and tacked on an empty net goal in the waning moments to preserve a 3-0 shutout win over the Phantoms – the first time they had been shutout this season. With victories on Friday and Saturday, the Phantoms earned four out of a possible six points in the standings. At 4-2-0-0 on the season, they are tied for second place in the East Division and look ahead to breaking that tie with the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins (4-4-00) when they host them on Wednesday night (October 29th).
