October Cement Worker of the Month - Ron Koch

Ron Koch – Contributed photo

By ED PANY Mr. Ron Koch was raised in Northampton, graduating from Northampton High School in 1982. He wrestled four years in over 100 matches under Coach Gordon Bartholomew, recalling, “I admired Gordy, he kept me on the straight and narrow path of life and always stressed respect and team work.” After graduation, he worked for his father Ron at their popular Pennsville market. He later was employed by ITT installing business telephones and servicing them. It proved to be a valuable learning experience. Ron started his cement career at Lafarge in 1994 saying, “I was recommended by my uncle Bob Sickonic, who was a plant electrician. I earned good money, $8.42 an hour starting on the tire dock, which was physically demanding.” Over the years, Ron has held a

variety of positions at the plant, including service gang, production journeyman, loading station, electrical gang and quarry crusher. As a result, he is familiar with the complete plant operation. Presently, he is in the plant parts department. He received excellent training from Sam Ruzika, and his present supervisor is Cain Cabrera, both fine men. He is responsible for receiving and delivering parts throughout the plant and listing a complete and updated inventory. The computer has changed the inventory system. He said, “We are the hub of the plant and have an interaction with all the plant’s employees, both supervisors and union members. Teamwork helps us operate the plant in a safe and efficient manner.” Ron is a dedicated cement worker who remembers his greatgrandfather Frank Farkas, who

Incredible Visitors Before The Last Free Tours

2 October 6-12, 2016

By PEGGY SPENGLER-MOSER What a surprise we had when the Craig family, from Australia, showed up at Horner’s Cemetery in Northampton for a summer tour. It took David and Andrea (Craig) Woodward, and her sister Stephanie, over 20 hours just to get to Philadelphia. Why the importance? The towns of Northampton and Bath, along with Allen and E. Allen Townships, were all part of Craig’s Scotch-Irish Settlement (1728). These visitors were the first direct Craig family descendants to visit this area in as long as I can

remember. It was an absolutely historic event. The settlement is the oldest permanent settlement in Northampton Co. and the cemetery is Northampton County’s oldest (1745). The settlement’s congregation (1730) and church (1731) were also the oldest. This was 13 years before the Moravians. If you live in Allen Township, you may already recognize the important founders’ names of McNair, Walker, King, Gray, Wilson and Hays. All of these founders and many more are all included in the tours of Horner’s Cemetery. Come out and hear the history

of our beginnings. Hear about President Theodore Roosevelt’s family roots from this settlement and Benjamin Franklin stayed at Hay’s Tavern, now the Weaversville Hotel. Even though the cemetery is only an acre, meet our three Generals and 18 veterans from four wars, along with the William Penn families’ surveyor. Visit Jane Horner, the first woman killed by Indians in Northampton County. The church’s pastor was the first cleric to die in the Revolution. Meet our delegate to the Continental Congress and Constitutional Convention, and the builders of Fort Ralston and Fort Continued on page 4

by CAROL RITTER

Seven ideas to Perk or not to Perk I’ve said so many times to business owners, “Your first customers are your employees- they need to be treated well and they will then become your best advocates.” So many employers don’t realize the power of the employee. They actually can make you or break you on a daily basis. Step back and think about what you might do to enhance, increase and just plain take care of your staff. Did you know that Google has the best employee perksfree massages, swimming pools, food, dry cleaning and more? I’m not suggesting you build a new swimming pool, but a small business can do things for their staff that is impressive without being too expensive.

Hire a mobile car wash company to wash your staff’s cars four times a year.

2. Ten minute massages on their birthday.

3. Hire a pick-up dry cleaning service to come twice a year.

4. Bring in a food truck and offer a fun complimentary lunch.

5. End of month BEST

Company Citizen Award.

6. Happy hour once a month on a Friday before the office closes.

7. Community blood drive in

the office - offer employees an incentive to give blood. (Don’t forget to Facebook this).

Here’s how it works. You not only raise the bar for your staff, you set an example of giving. Giving to your community, to the staff and ultimately the feelgood feeling they have reflects on their ability to provide superb customer service. Customer service research says, “I am willing to pay more for a service if you make me feel good.” To perk your staff or not to perk, you decide.

Opinion JASTA antics show why Americans distrust government By JUSTIN SWEITZER Congress showed a rare moment of bipartisan action when members of both parties overwhelmingly supported a bill allowing U.S. citizens to sue foreign governments with ties to terrorist attacks against the U.S. The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) allows victims of terrorist attacks, including families affected by the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, to sue foreign nations for damages suffered at the hands of terrorists. But following the bill’s passing, and despite multiple warnings from the Obama administration about negative consequences of the bill, congressional leaders are beginning to have second thoughts about the bill that has now become law. As leaders in Washington point fingers over the shortcomings of the bill, Americans are witnessing another example of a federal government more focused on saving face than improving lives. The White House vetoed the bill, with Press Secretary Josh Earnest repeatedly warning members of Congress of the potential risks that U.S. service members and diplomats living abroad could face in retaliation to the law. “We’re deeply concerned about the impact that this bill would have on the U.S. relationship with countries all around the world,” Earnest said in a press briefing. “And that’s why the President vetoed it at the end of last week.” But Congress didn’t heed the advice of the White House. Instead, they proceeded to override the President’s veto for the

first time in his presidency. The move came straight out of a high school government textbook and presented nothing unusual on the surface. That was until congressional leaders expressed second thoughts over the bill after it was overridden. According to Politico, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan are now calling for changes to the bill to help rid it of the “unintended ramifications” that could befall U.S. citizens abroad. They are blaming the White House for failing to properly inform Congress of the bill’s consequences, despite having more than enough time to research the effects that the bill would have. It’s not as if President Obama signed the bill without saying a word, either. He vetoed the bill, while also making clear through multiple mediums that he believed there to be serious problems with it. The fact that leaders of Congress blatantly disregarded warnings and are now blaming the White House for their own ignorance, serves as a prime example of why Americans are fed up with establishment politicians and government officials. Americans are sick of the name calling, the blame shifting and the partisan games that make up today’s federal legislature. They want action that has a positive impact on their everyday lives, not meaningless banter that leads to minimal change. The antics surrounding JASTA, as well as the partisan feuds that continuously threaten government shutdowns, have only fueled the fire that has propelled anti-establishment candidacies into the mainstream. GOP nominee Donald Trump and Sen.

Bernie Sanders were two of the most prominent names to successfully draw on anti-establishment sentiments held by American citizens. If Congress continues to work with the demeanor that has occupied the Capitol for the last decade, Washington could be in for a true change in the near future. If the grassroots action behind recent political movements and the insurgent campaigns of Trump and Sanders have taught the country anything, it’s that Americans are fed up with the current direction of the country, and they’re willing to go to great lengths to change it. Starting by removing elected leaders in Congress could be the first way disgruntled voters work to take their country back.

ian is authorized to provide consent for treatment of their minor child.” Hahn has been working closely with Rep. Daniel McNeill (DLehigh) to gather bipartisan support, as well as Rep. Pam Snyder (D-Greene/Fayette/Washington), who has a similar bill that has already passed the House. “Rep. Snyder’s legislation (House Bill 337) deals with the mental health aspects of an issue that has reached epidemic proportion in our state,” added Hahn. “Combining our efforts will hopefully close an unfortunate loophole and empower parents and guardians who can now be left without a voice in the treatment of loved ones who cannot make a decision in their best interests.” House Bill 2359 will be voted by the House Health Committee. Questions about this or any legislative issue may be directed to Hahn’s district office at 610746-2100.

Hahn Legislation Empowers Parents in Drug Treatment Cases Walnutport Canal Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE State Rep. Marcia Hahn (RBushkill Township) has authored legislation that would give parents a voice in the treatment of their minor children who are suspected of drug or alcohol use. “The issue came to my attention when a 14-year-old child in my district was taken to one of our local hospitals,” Hahn said. “The child was able to refuse a drug test and the parents were powerless to do anything about it under current law.

ent an interpretive history of the Canal Era at the Locktender's House and Museum. The Lehigh Canal was built in 1829 by Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. The canal's main purpose was to transport coal downriver from the coal mines of northeastern Pennsylvania and bring goods upriver from the ports of Philadelphia and New York. The canal was 46 miles in length, flowing from Mauch Chunk (present-day Jim Thorpe) down to Easton, and was built entirely by hand using pick axes and shovels. In order to compensate for the differences in elevation, 52 locks were incorporated into the canal's design. During the canal era, Walnutport was used as a boat repair center and stopping point for boat crews, but most of the canal was left empty and neglected by 1942. The Blue Ridge Rod and Gun Club and several young fishermen began restoration of the canal in 1953. The restored section is 4½ miles long, from Lehigh Gap to Bertsch Creek. For more information on the Canal and its history, visit the Kelchner's Lockhouse and museum.

Temperatures are fall like, so enjoy the season . . . . I hear the Legion hearts gang is gonna have a sendoff party for member Herbie Silfies, who will be headed out West soon to be part of his family, after all the illnesses have kept him down and outta action. We all wanta wish you well, Herb. Enjoy your family in Oregon. . . . Bath Farmers Market enjoyed some nice weather all summer, except for their last day on Friday when it drizzled. Anyhow, as I said before, they deserve a big pat on the back for all the entertainment that was at the market for shoppers to see and hear while they were choosing all the good things to buy. Good luck again in 2017!! . . . Ye Ed asked me to pass along his thanks to all who sent him flowers, a gift basket of fruits and cookies, etc., and all others who have sent him get well wishes for a fast recovery after his recent car accident. He misses everybody, and hopes to get back to some meetings soon in Bath, Northampton, Allen and East Allen townships. With cabin fever, he did get out for a card game, two Lions events, and will be at his 68th-year class reunion of Konkrete Kids next Friday. He does all the obituaries for the paper, and you can bet he’s glad he wasn’t one of them. . . .Phillies fans gave Ryan Howard a great send-off on Sunday, as they remembered all the home runs he had in the past that helped carry the team. He didn’t get one on Sunday, but did against the Mets’ Bartolo Colon on Saturday and that was enough satisfaction. The season is over, but it was a good rebuilding year for the Phillies. Now we can watch all the other teams in the postseason playoffs and World Series, even those New York Mets. . . .

Eagles fans are hoping they can keep up their winning ways as they return to action against the Detroit Lions on Sunday after a bye week off. . . . Fill up your car’s gas tank and go on a trip all over Northampton County this Saturday and Sunday as the annual Farm Open House tour is held. The Unangst, Seiple and Amore farms are around Bath, along with Point Phillips Perennials, but there’s plenty of farms around Bushkill and Plainfield Townships, so figure on doing lots of driving and then taking in all the sights at dairy farms, cattle, tree farms, flowers, crops and other parts of farming. It’s a bigger county than you think. Take the kids along for a good education. . . . If your group or organization is gonna be in the Bath firefighters Halloween parade on the 18th, make sure you fill in a registration form. Bath, Nazareth and Northampton parade are always lots of fun. . . .Have a great week, and take care on the road, Ye Ed says.

New Sanitation Contract and Municipal Building Discussed at Special Session of Council By KERI LINDENMUTH The Borough of Bath Council held a special council meeting at the Bath Municipal Building on Tuesday, September 27. From a new sanitation contract to a new municipal building, there was

a lot to be discussed by council members. The meeting began with an outline of the Borough’s new sanitation contract and the five waste disposal companies who placed their bids for it. The Bor-

ough is required to take the lowest reasonable bid. Before a decision could be made, however, all five companies who returned their bids are subject legal review. With a new sanitation contract, waste disposal will not only be less expensive for Borough residents, but the contract price remains locked for three years. In addition, there will be added services. “[This is a] good example of committees working,” said council president Mark Saginario, praising the hard work and efficiency of the smaller Borough committee that compiled and agreed upon the bid specifications. A new contract is not the only change on the horizon. Residents will soon have more convenient ways of paying their garbage bills. Borough Manager Bradford Flynn stated that the Borough website will soon have a page where residents can pay their garbage bill online. There will also be a 1-800 number that will allow residents to pay the bill over the phone for added convenience. Also on the agenda for the evening was the future of the Thirst Quenchers building on 121-125 South Walnut Street. The beer distributor was owned by former Chief Roger Rehrig of the Borough’s Volunteer Firefighters & Ambulance Corps. Chief Rehrig passed away in September. On Tuesday evening, the council unanimously approved to move forward with negotiations to possibly purchase the property. If all goes to plan, it will house the Borough’s new municipal building. (Council continued their discussion on these two very important topics at their October 3 meeting. See below for more information).

Borough of Bath Holds Monthly Council Meeting

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Borough of Bath Council met at the Bath Municipal Building on Monday, October 3

for their monthly council meeting. The council not only continued their talks on topics from the previous week’s special council meeting, but they also held discussions on several important plans and possibilities for the future of the Borough. The meeting commenced with the Courtesy of the Floor. A.J. Mackarevitz voiced his concerns to council about the safety of children playing on Penn Street. “Cars fly down 40 to 45 miles per hour,” he said. He asked council about the possibility of installing signs warning motorists that children live and play in the area. Council agreed to let the Colonial Regional Police Department (CRPD) know of the issue. Also voicing his concerns was Michael Harden of Bath View Condominiums on 252 North Walnut Street. Since the developer of the condominiums went out of business, only 42 units of the planned 84 have been built and less than 50 parking spots are available for residents. Residents are parking on neighboring property. Pave-

ments are also unfinished. “We are really stranded back there,” Harden told council. “[There was] what was proposed and what we [are] left with.” Council told Harden and residents in attendance that the issue would be turned over to the Borough solicitor, engineer, and manager. The discussion of the Borough’s sanitation bids also resumed since the council’s September 27 special meeting, during which time legal review of the bids had taken place. On Monday night, J.P. Mascaro and Sons placed the lowest bid and was awarded the threeyear contract. J.P. Mascaro is the trash service the Borough has had for ten years. Although the Borough will continue to utilize the same company, Borough Solicitor Blake Marles highlighted the benefits of the new contract, including its lower price on Borough residents (about one hundred dollars less), weekly recycling and more yard waste collection.

Focused on Folks 60+ Many Boomers Surprised By Debt In Retirement

HELP at the Push of A Button Contact Frank DeRosa at: 484-515-4683 (Mobile) Toll Free: 866-794-9003 Email: Frank@GOMYI.com www.MedAlertServices.com ** www.gomyi.com**

(NAPSI)—If you’re like most people, retirement means more time to travel, play with grandkids and experience greater personal satisfaction in everyday life. But as Baby Boomers begin to retire, many will experience a different reality—one marked by debt. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid being among them.

The Problem According to a new study commissioned by Bankers Life Center for a Secure Retirement, more than half of pre-retirees think they’ll pay off their debts before retirement, but only a quarter of retirees actually are debt free. The same study found that eight in 10 middle-income Boomers currently have some debt, and nearly 25 percent have more than 20 years re-

maining on their mortgage. “We tend to prepare for costs that we can anticipate,” said Scott Goldberg, president of Bankers Life. “Most do not foresee the amount of debt they will carry into retirement and other unexpected expenses, such as long-term care and various health related costs. Our studies show that only about half of Boomers feel they have a strong understanding of financial matters to overcome these hurdles.”

Golden Years Reality Not long ago, many retirees relied on pensions and Social Security for income during their golden years. These income streams used to be enough to live on comfortably. Today, fewer companies are of-

But as Boomers leave the workforce at what looks like lightning speed, they may not be prepared to continue paying off debt or other unexpected expenses. According to the study, middle-income Boomers are unsure of the best ways to maximize their income and find additional sources of income during retirement. Nearly 90 percent express some concerns about making their money last in retirement. “More than ever, it is crucial that Boomers take proactive steps in advance of retirement and recognize the options available while planning for a secure future,” said Goldberg. “From annuities to long-term care insurance to investments, the options beyond Social Security and pensions are increasingly tangible for middle-income Boomers.”

The Good News Thanks to advances in medicine, retirees are living longer, more independent lives. Therefore, being financially prepared for long-term retirement is more important than ever. More good news: It’s never too late for Boomers to meet with a trusted financial advisor to prepare and take the correct precautions that can set them up for a more fulfilling experience in their golden years.

New standards improve quality and safety for childcare in Pennsylvania Submitted by U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced new quality and safety standards aimed at providing for higher quality care and safer environments for millions of children, including our youngest learners. The rule, which implements bipartisan legislation signed by President Obama in 2014, sets higher standards for states, territories and tribes receiving federal funds through the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program in important areas such as health and safety requirements; training and professional development for child care providers; and eligibility rules that better support working families. In 2016, Pennsylvania received $197,431,190 in federal funding through the CCDF program, which each month serves 91,400 children (53,800 families). Last year, the Federal government provided over $5 billion to states, territories and tribes to help 850,000 working families pay for child care and to support quality improvements for providers

that serve our neediest children. CCDF serves approximately 1.4 million children each month, a majority of whom are children under the age of five. The new rule protects the health and safety of children, helps parents make more informed consumer choices, supports early child development for our youngest learners, and enhances the quality of child care for all children. All children in one of the 370,000 child care settings across the country that participate in the federal child care program – not just those receiving direct child care assistance from CCDBG – will benefit from new health and safety requirements, staff training requirements, and criminal background checks for staff. In addition, CCDF quality investments can benefit all children in child care regardless of whether or not they receive federal funding. We know from U.S. Census data that nearly 12.5 million children under the age of five are in some form of child care arrangement each week. They spend an average of 36 hours per week in care. Research, particularly in neuroscience, has shown how much this time matters to our youngest children. Providing safe, high-quality environments that nurture our youngest children’s healthy growth and development will help them grow, thrive, be successful in school, and even find better jobs and earn more as adults. “Many parents rely on child care programs, and it is important that their children are cared for in

safe learning environments with qualified providers,” said HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. The rule strengthens a number of new provisions in the law and provides needed guidance to states, territories and tribes in a number of areas, including: -Requiring all staff in child care facilities have mandatory criminal background checks; -Enhancing the health and safety of children through more robust standards for CCDF providers, including requiring initial and ongoing training and professional development on 10 key topics (e.g. First Aid/CPR, medication administration, SIDS prevention) for the early childhood workforce; -Disseminating information to help parents choose child care, including through an accessible website; -Devoting more funding to improve quality across all child care settings; and -Ensuring CCDF programs are monitored at least annually so children are healthy and safe in child care programs. “This rule continues the historic re-envisioning of the Child Care and Development Fund program and raises the bar so that lowincome parents will know their children are safe, learning, and on the path to future success in school and life,” said Linda Smith, deputy assistant secretary for early learning at ACF. “Child care is both an economic support for working parents and an early learning program for millions of children. It’s critical to our nation’s future that we get this right.”

Creative Corner By KATHLEEN UNGER

A Senior Citizen?

I like my new bifocals, My dentures fit just fine My hearing aid is perfect But Lord, I miss my mind! -Author unknown

As we’re all getting older, we may find we need glasses to read the fine print in the newspaper, the tooth fairy may have taken some of our teeth, our hearing is not what it used to be, our hair is thinning, and we have a little trouble remembering a name. These things creep up on us gradually so that we are not aware of the aging process. Perhaps we are not walking as straight as we used to our maybe we don’t have the energy we once did. Some days we feel like sixteen and other days we feel like 100 years old. When I was a youngster, people who were 40, 50, and 60 years old seemed very old to me. I thought, “I don’t want to get to be old.” But here I am, and now it doesn’t seem so awfully old. Why, it was just yesterday that I was riding my bike on Mommie’s driveway, doing tricks with my friend Delores. It seems like just the other day I was hanging upside down from the tree in our backyard when my Daddy would say in Pennsylvania Dutch, “get down from there, pretty soon you will fall down!” Time goes by so quickly that we don’t notice our posture bending, our hair thinning and our eyes needing stronger and stronger glasses to read the fine print. “We grow too soon old and too late schmart,” as the old Pennsylvania German saying goes. With new discoveries in medicine, we can live a full life for 60, 70 or even 80 years, but in the end, all our accomplishments, our affiliations and our paces of employment, are diminished into a 3”x 6” space in the Obit column. It does not begin to tell anything about us. It does not tell our joys, our heartaches, our good deeds, our lost loves, our secret dreams, nor our real relationships with friends and relatives.

National Museum of Industrial History Launches “Meet the Experts” Series Submitted by GLENN KOEHLER Ever wonder why the Lehigh Valley became a center for steelmaking, or are curious about the many mills still standing today, which were once home to the region’s thriving silk industry? The National Museum of Industrial History is excited to announce its new “Meet the Expert” series; engaging and interactive programs that seek to answer these questions and more. “The ‘Meet the Expert’ series is a perfect compliment to our Museum exhibits,” said NMIH President and CEO, Amy Hollander. “These discussions will allow our visitors to explore different aspects of the industrial story, among them: the source of natural resources, the connections between industry and community, and the results of innovation.” The series will feature experts spanning many fields, from archaeologists and historians to former Steelworkers and model makers. Kicking off the series will be a discussion led by Edward S. Henning on Saturday, October 15 at 11 a.m. titled, “Natural Resources that Influenced the Rise of Local Industry.” The program will seek to connect the Lehigh Valley’s rich deposits of raw materials and the industrial boom that occurred after their discovery. Mr. Henning, a native of Easton, PA who now resides in Bethlehem Township, is an adjunct professor at Northampton County Community College who has assisted on U.S. Geological Surveys with Lehigh University and has assisted on archaeological digs with Temple University. He is also a published author of over 40 articles spanning archaeology, geology, and mineralogy. He serves as an advisor to the Honorable Chief Robert Red Hawk Ruth, chief of the Lenape National of Pennsylvania and is a member of the Northampton County Historical

and Genealogical Society’s Education Committee. The series will take place on the third Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. and is included in the price of admission to the museum and free to Museum members. Continuing in November, the series will also touch on the topics of industrial model making, the local silk industry, and an insider’s look at working as a rigger at the Bethlehem Steel. For more information on the “Meet the Experts” Series visit http://nmih.org or call the Museum at 610-694-6644.

Why God Permits Evil

A minister and an atheistic barber were once walking through the city slums. Said the barber to the preacher, "This is why I cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind as you say, He would not permit all this poverty, disease, and squalor. He would not allow these poor bums to be addicted to dope and other character-destroying habits. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these things." The minister was silent until they met a man who was especially unkempt and filthy. His hair was hanging down his neck, and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face. Said the minister, "You can't be a very good barber or you wouldn't permit a man like that to continue living in this neighborhood without a haircut or a shave." Indignantly the barber answered, "Why blame me for that man's condition? I can't help it that he is like that! He has never given me a chance to help him. If he would only come to my shop, I could fix him up and make him look like a gentleman!" Giving the barber a penetrating look, the minister said, "Then don't blame God for allowing these people to continue in their evil ways, when He is constantly inviting them to come and be saved. The reason these people are slaves to sin and evil habits is because they refuse the One Who died to save and deliver them." The barber saw the point. "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:18). Jesus said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Have you responded to His invitation?

Council President Mark Saginario repeated to those in attendance what was discussed at the previous week’s special meeting, in order to be as “transparent” as possible to residents. The council is currently in negotiations to possibly purchase the building, which had been owned by former Chief Roger Rehrig of the Borough’s Volunteer Firefighters & Ambulance Corps. Council has been considering renovating their current municipal building, which would cost over four million dollars, while constructing a completely new building would cost over five million. On the other hand, possibly purchasing the Thirst Quenchers building would allow the Borough to sell their current munici-

pal building and transfer its operating costs to the building on South Walnut. However, Saginario noted, there are still a lot of details that the Borough must go through. Also discussed at Monday’s meeting was Sleepy Hollow Road, on which the Borough is putting up signs to highlight its status as a private drive. Council also motioned to approve a grant application for the installation of new traffic lights downtown. These adaptive traffic signals would help ease the flow of traffic during busy periods. The Council motioned to pass another resolution for a share account grant, obtained with the help of State Senator Mario Scavello, which would aid the borough in upgrading its IT systems. A new grant was also obtained thanks to a joint effort, the first of its kind, between the Borough and the fire department, which would fund new technology such as public radios and pagers.

“[This would] greatly help the logistics of communications during fires,” said Saginario. From the joint grant with the fire department to the partnership with Senator Scavello, Saginario praised the Council’s ability to cooperate and “work well” with “other agencies.” The next session of council will be held on November 7.

WorldStrides OnStage has invited the marching band from Freedom High School to perform at the Russell Athletic Bowl. They will join marching bands from across the country in the halftime show finale of this major college bowl game. An invitation to perform at the Russell Athletic Bowl is an honor reserved only for the most talented student performers from across the nation. Under the direction of Michael Moran, the Freedom High School marching band will travel to Orlando where they will rehearse with the mass band and learn from nationally acclaimed adjudicators. In their free time, they will take in the sights of Orlando.

cises, physical training and various outdoor activities. Each camp is funded through community donations to allow cadets to attend with little or no cost to their families. “The Camp Cadet program is a valuable way to promote positive relationships between the youth and communities of Pennsylvania and law enforcement personnel,” said Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Tyree C. Blocker. “The positive experience provided by these camps can transcend generations, to include parents, children and even grandparents. It is not unusual to see cadets grow up to join the ranks of the Pennsylvania State Police.” Each troop throughout Pennsylvania holds at least one of these camps per year. Some may hold multiple camps depending on the geography and size of the area. To find out more information about next year’s Camp Cadet program, visit www. psp.pa.gov or call your local state police station.
