Chief Administrative Officer Mary Ellen Handlon on Thursday certified to Northampton Borough Council the 2017 Minimum Municipal Obligation (MMO) required for the nonuniformed defined benefit pension plan; the non-uniformed defined contribution pension plan, and the police pension plan. The first passed six to one for the 17 employees, with the MMO being $129,442, and requiring the Borough to add an additional $55,067. Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst said the Borough was required to contribute $90,887. Councilman Ed Pany was the lone dissenter, saying, “There should be a 3% contribution by the employees. We are behind the eight ball because of the plan we have accepted.” He said he practices frugality. The second and third plans passed without a “no” vote, with the Borough’s MMO contribution $10,500, an increase over last year of $2,100, a plan that was established during contract negotiations. The third for police required an MMO of $92,898 by the Borough and a 6% contribution by the police. Lots criticized There was considerably more opposition to the plan of Joe Jones for two lots at the end of Dewey Ave. Councilman Robert McHale told of parking in front, grading, and possible problems with snow removal at the end of the block. Jones said water comes down along an alley and goes across his property on to an-

other property. With curbing that would change, he said.
----------------------The plan creates a bottleneck and Dewey Avenue would be a nightmare. Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. ----------------------Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said the homes between 24th St. and Marble Alley would be isolated. He would favor parking in the rear for ingress and egress for emergency vehicles. “The plan creates a bottleneck and Dewey Avenue would be a nightmare,” he said emphatically. The Planning Commission had given Jones final approval for the development plans earlier. Other matters • Council approved a request for a handicapped parking zone in the area of 2395 Dewey Ave. after it was recommended by Police Chief Ron Morey. • Also approved was a request by Ms. Stacy Schenewolf to allow the sponsoring of a benefit for 7-year-old Leila Rano and the Lehigh Valley Children’s Hospital for awareness of pediatric cancer. It will be held Sunday, October 16 at both of the Municipal Park’s pavilions and is open to the public. Council reports • Robert Coleman said a rent check for 2015 of $7,404 was received from the formerly named Northampton Community Center. Continued on page 3

Library board unhappy With Nazareth Borough Council’s proposal
By JUSTIN SWEITZER The Nazareth Borough Council convened on September 1 at 6 p.m. in a workshop session to field questions and concerns from local residents, including the vice president of the Memorial Library of Nazareth and vicinity. Barbara Fischl, who spoke on behalf of the board, voiced her concerns over council’s plan to distance itself from library expenses by transferring the deed to the library to the library’s Board of Directors. “The board was stunned and dismayed to find out that council made the decision to investigate the legal procedure to divest itself of the deed to the library building,” Fischl said. Under the current agreement, council pays for the library’s insurance and also foots the bill
for large repairs. But Fischl noted that the library is quite selfsufficient, fully reimbursing the borough for costs associated with the salaries, health care, Social Security and workman’s compensation of those who make repairs to the library. She proposed that the library is open to working more intimately with the council, as well as shouldering some of the financial burdens that have led to the council’s proposal to free itself of the deed to the library. “We, the library, would like to work with you to ship some of the costs to the library directly and also to reorganize some of them,” Fischl said. “We proposed that the library will pay the total cost of the insurance, which is Continued on page 4

News Briefs Meth found in Northampton by HOME NEWS STAFF After a two-month undercover investigation by the Northampton County Drug Task Force, a significant amount of the drug methamphetamine was discovered Saturday at a home in the 2600 block of Main Street in Northampton Borough. Jim Cavallo, Moore Township deputy police chief and a member of the drug task force, said
September 8-14, 2016 3
Moore Township and Northampton police officers who are agents with the task force made several undercover purchases of methamphetamine at the home since July. At about 6 a.m. Saturday they served a search warrant and found several bags of meth, packaging material, scales and records of sales. Three people were identified as suspects.

about $6,000 a year.” The library board also announced that they would create a new line-item in their budget to pay for expenses related to large repairs. Any additional money left over in the budget would then be moved to that budget line to help grow the fund. Fischl said that if council’s plan is to go through, it could endanger the library’s ability to receive grants, as well as lead to the library’s closure. Councilman Frank Maurek apologized for not approaching the board directly. “I will take responsibility for not informing you people upfront when this was brought to discussion,” he said. “I still feel that the borough, townships, supervisors and the library, we all have to sit down when it comes to big expenses. We have to find a solution on how to pay instead of the borough getting [billed].” Maurek then mentioned that the librarian suggested meeting twice a year with borough council to keep their line of communication open and clear. Also discussed at the meeting was the council’s support for the proposed Eagle Scout project of a local resident and his brother who will install birdhouse-like
boxes at four locations around the borough. The boxes would contain donated books, offering a place for book exchanges throughout the Nazareth area. It would operate under a “take a book, leave a book” manner and would be periodically checked to ensure that no vandalism or issues have arised. The locations decided on are the Nazareth Circle, the Borough Council Chambers, the borough park and the borough’s dog park. “I think it’s a good idea,” said councilman John Samus. In other business, council also discussed moving the Nazareth Food Truck Festival to the area surrounding the Nazareth Borough Council Chambers in future years. Samus mentioned the need to crack down on permits of the food trucks, as some previously did not have the proper permits. The council also expressed the need to hire substitute crossing guards in the future, the need for a list of prices for animal control services and their desire to include Olympic silver medalist Joe Kovacs in this year’s Halloween parade. Police commissioner Randall Miller announced that the police department successfully used Narcan to save the life of an overdose victim. The Nazareth Borough Council will next meet on Thursday, September 29 at 6 p.m.

New License Plates Help Fund Bicycle Safety Efforts submitted by
RONALD YOUNG The new “Share the Road” special fund registration plate designed to help fund bicycle safety is now in stock and being shipped to interested vehicle owners, PennDOT announced last week. The new plates were authorized by Act 36, referred to as the David (Dave) Bachman Act, which was enacted in June in memory of a PennDOT employee who served as the Department’s first Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator. All proceeds from the sale of the new plate fund PennDOT’s bicycle and pedestrian safety efforts, as well as highway infrastructure signage for bicyclists with the purpose of wayfinding and/or safety.
The “Share the Road” plate uses the same colors as standard plates -- blue, white and yellow, with addition of an image of the shared lane marking including two chevrons, a bicycle silhouette and the words “Allow 4 Feet to Pass.” The bottom of the plate reads “Share the Road.” Applicants may order a plate by completing Form MV-917, “Application for Share the Road Registration Plate.” The cost of the plate is $40. This plate may also be personalized for a fee of $100 in addition to the $40 plate cost.

Grow UR Biz
September 8-14, 2016 5
Penn State Extension Master Watershed Stewards to offer Rain Barrel Workshop
by CAROL RITTER
Get Linked To be or not to be linked up? Social media is one of the best ways to “Grow UR Biz.” There are so many ways to optimize your social media presence, yet so many of my clients don’t do it because they are either too busy, don’t know how to begin or they don’t understand the value of social media. LinkedIn is the closest thing to a professional profile. It’s not so much a social site as it is a place for businesses to show their colorful feathers, in most cases, for free. Here are nine completely free ideas for kicking up your social media profile :
1.
Clearly define your brand - is it you, your business name, or both? 2. Complete the profile and LinkedIn will rate you. Try to get your profile strength to All Star. 3. Make sure your picture matches your industry; if your clients are sports organizations, you may want professional pictures in sweats. 4. Ask for endorsements. Ask your clients to post a recommendation or testimonial. 5. Videos work - add videos to your profile. 6. LinkedIn allows you to publish articles so write, write and write some more. 7. Have an awesome URL (or Universal Resource Locator, a title that refers to the formal address of a document on the Internet), it will be easier for people to find you. 8. Use the key words of your industry as part of the description of your profile.
9.
Last but not least, update frequently. I check LinkedIn at least four times a week, it’s easy to navigate and it’s your living, moving, active resume. Get linked today or you may just be behind the social media eight-ball. Carol is a professional speaker, coach and educational consultant specializing in innovative leadership, outrageous fundraising, million dollar marketing, and building organizational alliances throughout the country.

It was great for backyard picnics and spending a weekend at the mountains to get in a little fishing. But not down at the shore where there were rip currents in the ocean. I even caught a couple fish and we had ‘em for dinner. . . . New traffic lights are up at the Pennsville intersection. They aren’t turned on yet. I wonder how happy the Star gas station and Pennsville Hotel owners are, though, about the new curbs which make it harder for cars to get in and out? Anyhow, the lights should make it a safer intersection. . . . Hillary finally had a news conference with reporters and she did it on the new jetliner she bought. Only thing is she had a couple coughing spells and hadta stop. Reckon that didn’t bother Trump at all. Less then 60 days more of all the rabble rousing to get out our vote for president. . . . When Bath Council meets next Monday, there should be some pats on the back for Cynthia Anderson and all the volunteers who made last week’s Spuds & Suds fest a huge success. . . . The NFL season is getting underway this Thursday while the Eagles start up on Sunday. They are going into it without last year’s quarterback after trading him away, and starting a rookie QB who suffered a couple broken ribs in the preseason. So we’ll soon see how that works out...Local alumni who saw Penn State beat Kent State were happy. Ah, football! Between baseball and football we all are die hard fans. Wouldn’t you agree, Billy F.?. . . . Sorry for the short letter, but I relaxed and made the most of the holiday with my gal Elmira. I hope your holiday was just as good. Now it’s back to the old routine. See ya!
Parkland tough, but Loses; Northampton ripped, 50-0
by HOME NEWS STAFF The Eastern Pennsylvania South Conference has been tough in the early going for both local football teams, and they suffered their first two losses of the season. Nazareth The Nazareth High Blue Eagles played a much better game on Friday, trailing only 17-13 at the half as they hosted a normally tough Parkland High School Trojans. But three touchdowns in the fourth quarter sealed their doom, and the Blue Eagles lost, 38-13. They resulted from two turnovers in three plays. The first was an interception by Nick Suriel and the second a fumble recovery by Justin Lessel at the Nazareth 31 that turned into a 3-yard run TD by Jahan Worth. Neither team scored in the opening stanza, but both tallied 10 points in the second quarter. Nazareth’s Julian Liaci took a 21yard pass from quarterback Travis Stefanik with the extra point kick by Avery Petrozelli. Stefanik threw 7 for 16 to gain 81 yards for the TD. The other three points came from a field goal scored by Petrozelli. The third quarter for Nazareth resulted in three points on another field goal by Petrozelli, and they were stopped the rest of the way. Northampton Northampton’s Konkrete Kids were simply out-classed and overmatched by the Bethlehem Catholic Golden Hawks in this game played on Saturday at Bethlehem Area School District Stadium. The locals ended the first half with minus-44 rushing yards and
ended the game at minus-28 rushing yards, for a total of 28 yards on offense. Becahi scored on its first seven possessions and held Northampton to minus-25 yards of offense in the first half. It was zeros all the way for the black and orange. The end result: Becahi, 50, Northampton 0.

I Think I Was Hit By An Airplane!
by KATHLEEN UNGER When I was a child, my parents and my aunt and uncle went to Tobyhanna to pick huckleberries. We would pile in my daddy’s old Pontiac on a Sunday afternoon and with my cousin Jimmy, head off to the Poconos to gather the wonderfully sweet berries to be baked into pies and made into jam. The adults went out into the woods to gather the ripe berries
www.HomeNewsPA.com
while my cousin and I stayed near an open space near the car. After awhile we became bored waiting for our parents to return to the car, so we started throwing small stones and pebbles into the forest. The last thing I remember was tossing a rather flat rock into the air, only instead of sailing it out, I pitched it straight above my head. What goes up, must come down! The stone came down right on top of my head. I screamed when the blood began to run down my face. “I think I’ve been hit by an airplane,” I yelled to my cousin. The screaming summoned my mother and all came running to my aid, observing the condition of my face. The rock had landed directly on one of the main veins on my head. Immediately, our mothers blamed my cousin who had nothing to do with my predicament. I did it entirely myself. It was obvious we had to get to a doctor, but where to find a doctor in the Poconos on a Sunday? We decided to return home and my mother put my Daddy’s famous salve and a big patch on my wound. I believe that was the last huckleberry-picking trip for us.

Guilty as Charged!
Those who work in prisons or counsel prisoners tell us that almost all of them proclaim their innocence. If that is true, the judges in our land are grossly unjust! Be that as it may, there is a Supreme Judge over the universe Who is absolutely just. Paul, the apostle, looking ahead to his own judgment, stated: “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2 Timothy 4:8) Each of us will stand before that very same Judge! In fact, your appointment is already made! “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” (Hebrews 9:27-28) Don’t even think about pleading innocent! This omniscient (allknowing) Judge has a book (see: Revelation 20:12) on every word, thought, and deed you have ever committed! You must plead guilty, and throw yourself on the mercy of the court. “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” (Isaiah 55:7) Admit your guilt, and accept the pardon purchased for you at Calvary. –Submitted by Carl Edwards

There are so many things we didn't get to say when God took you home on that fateful night. Why did you have to leave so soon? We didn't even get to say goodbye. Our lives were changed forever. There was no father at graduation; no father to walk us down the aisle and your four grandchildren would surely have made you smile. You are forever in our hearts. We love and miss you dearly, Dad.

Trump reaffirms position on illegal immigration following Mexico visit Opinion By JUSTIN SWEITZER August 31 marked a busy day for the Republican nominee. Just hours after meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, Donald Trump traveled to Phoenix, Arizona to give a long-awaited speech detailing the

immigration policy he plans to implement as president. After days of conflicting statements which appeared to show Trump softening from his original immigration positions, Trump unveiled a 10-point plan to reassure skeptical supporters that his hardline approach to immigration is here to stay. Before Trump revealed his plan, he discussed his stab at diplomacy that took place earlier in the day, promising Americans that Mexico and the United States will work together under a Trump President. His promise to work with Mexico didn’t seem to hinder his “America first” ideals, with the GOP calling for an immigration system that protects U.S. citizens. “There is only one core issue in the immigration debate,” Trump said. “And that issue is the wellbeing of the American people.” Trump’s 10-point plan to protect the well-being of Americans began with his controversial border wall, one that he still believes Mexico will pay for.
“We will build a great wall along the southern border,” Trump said. “And Mexico will pay for the wall.” New to Trump’s wall proposal is a series of investments that would prove costly to either American taxpayers or the national debt. The Republican candidate spoke of an improved surveillance system that would include sensors above and below the wall, watchtowers, aerial surveillance and a strengthened border patrol agency. Trump did not mention any plan on how to pay for these security measures. Other points laid out in Trump’s proposal include ending catch-and-release of undocumented immigrants, blocking funding for sanctuary cities, a suspension of visa issuances to places which lack adequate screening, the enforcement of current immigration laws and the cancellation of executive actions that Trump deems unconstitutional. But perhaps the most striking takeaway from Trump’s immigration policy speech was his reaf-
firmation that under a Trump administration, there will be no amnesty for illegal immigrants. Before his Phoenix address, Trump’s views against amnesty were beginning to waver, earning him a harsh tongue-lashing from conservative commentator Ann Coulter, a Trump supporter and a staunch opponent of illegal immigration. Trump put her qualms to rest toward the conclusion of his speech, once again promising that amnesty will not exist if Trump wins the election. “We will break the cycle of illegal immigration and amnesty.
There will be no amnesty,” Trump said. The move delighted Trump’s following, but may have done harm to voters on the fence about supporting the GOP nominee. But Trump concluded his speech with a strong emotional appeal to try and convince voters to embrace his hardline, nationalist approach to immigration. He brought out mothers who lost children due to violent attacks from illegal immigrants, telling voters, “I want to remind voters what we are fighting for — and who we are fighting for.”

Take Your Cat On An Adventure www.napsnet.com
Whether it’s exploring the great outdoors or within the walls of their own home, cats have a knack for making the ordinary extraordinary. To help cat owners rethink the ordinary and inspire them to keep the adventure alive with their cats, Purina Pro Plan is partnering with Adventure Cats to proclaim June 15 as National “Take Your Cat On An Adventure” Day, although every day should be made special for your feline friends. This day gives cat owners an opportunity to share new experiences with their cats that they may not have considered before—such as leash training. While it’s a responsible choice for your cat to live indoors, leash training as part of a safe outdoor experience can be a great way to enrich your cat’s life. It’s important to recognize that an outdoor cat adventure is not like walking a dog. Leash walking a cat is about a sensory experience and exploration rather than cardiovascular activity. Leash walking takes patience and practice but can be worth the time and effort. Some cats may never become comfortable with leash walking due to age, personality or lifestyle. If that’s the case, there are plenty of creative ways to have indoor adventures as well. For example, you can create a DIY Hideout. Learn how at www.proplan.com/cats. If you do want to try leash walking with your cat, these five tips can help you get started: Getting Acquainted: Select a fitted harness and leash (your veterinarian or an associate at a pet store can help you) and leave it out for your cat to smell and investigate. Be aware that the harness may make some new noises, so practice putting it on and taking it off so she can get accustomed to the sounds. Then try attaching the harness to the leash
and use them to play with your cat to create a positive association as training continues. Try It On: Get your cat used to the harness by having her wear it a couple times a day for 15-minute intervals. It’s completely normal for cats to freeze up, refuse to walk or walk very strangely at first. She’s likely never experienced the sensation of having something on her back so it’s something she’ll need to adjust to. Gain Comfort: Next, increase the amount of time she wears the harness around your home. If your cat resists or isn’t adjusting, take a break and try again later. It’s important to remember that leash walking isn’t right for every cat, so follow her lead and don’t rush the process. Practice Indoors: Start by touring the familiar territory of your house. Reward good behaviors like staying calm after hearing a noise, moving forward and sniffing. Hide toys or kibble around your home and have fun discovering them together. Gradually build the duration of your walks inside. Once she’s mastered this skill, you’re ready to get outside. Take It Outside: Before you walk outside, make sure your cat has her recommended vaccinations plus flea and tick prevention. Also be sure that she has a collar and tag, or microchip. Start with a short walk in an area with low noise and activity, perhaps your backyard. As she becomes more comfortable in her new surroundings, try expanding the territory you’re exploring. Get Inspired: Check out other cats’ adventures and share your own by using #MyGreatCat and @ProPlanCat on Instagram and Twitter.
