Boosterthon Fun Run Inspires Students at Northampton Borough Elementary by BRANDON PATRICK Northampton Borough Elementary will host a Boosterthon Fun Run event on September 11. The Boosterthon Fun Run is a nine- day program that increases funds for local schools and inspires students to live healthy, character-filled lives. Students will run for about 30 minutes to themed music at the big event. Boosterthon’s character theme this year is Big World Recess. The theme introduces more than one million students in 1,600 schools across the nation to real kid-athletes in other cultures who play a sport with character. “In our 14 years serving schools, this theme is by far our best yet, because we are bringing students in America inspiring stories from around the world,” said Chris Carneal, Boosterthon founder and president. “Big World Recess promotes the side of sports we all love while giving students a rich

global perspective.” The fitness theme features stories of six kid-athletes and illustrates the power of living out character in sports and in life. Students will be introduced to uplifting stories originating in New York City, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Switzerland and Kenya. With a continued emphasis on multi-cultural education in American classrooms, Boosterthon students will experience up-close how sports bring people together. Documentary-style videos will teach students how to develop teamwork, curiosity, practice, humility, confidence and endurance through the every day stories of the six kid-athletes. In addition to the character theme, Boosterthon’s cutting edge fundraising program helps schools raise 70 percent more than alternative fundraisers.

Five farms moving to Preservation in Moore by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Owners of five farms in Moore Township have applied for preservation. The process is moving forward, said secretary Richard Gable at the Board of Supervisors meeting this past Tuesday. On Monday, Sept. 14, Maria Bentzoni of the Northampton County Land Preservation Board will lead a discussion at a public meeting in the township building
on protecting the environment and way of life, as well as locking in taxes on preserved lands. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. It is the Moore Township Land Preservation Board’s annual open house. Coming off a weekend of celebration for the township’s 250th anniversary, comments at last week’s Supervisors meeting were that of congratulations for the successful event, and especially for those who worked hard to
make it happen, members of the Historical Commission and Gable, who had the idea in the first place to note the anniversary. There was only one negative item at the short meeting, that of six different properties being overgrown with weeds. Certified notices were sent out to the owners, and liens filed. Jason Harhart had this August report for the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. of Moore

Township: The personnel responded to 20 fire calls, needing 212 man-hours. They included 1 fire, 6 motor vehicle accidents, 1 need for fire police during the anniversary, 3 automatic fire alarms, 1 mutual aid to Bath for an auto accidents, 2 wires down, 1 smoke investigation, 2 odor investigations, 1 welfare check, and 2 trees down. The Rangers ambulance corps responded to 43 ambulance calls, using 172 man-hours.

In the September 3 edition of The Home News we ran a story on page one about the anniversary of Moore Township. In the article we errantly said that Elias Spengler was one of the founders of Moore Township’s Athletic Association. Actually, it was Dallas Spengler who was one of the founders of the Athletic Association. According to his daughter, Peggy Moser. “He founded the girls’ softball program, served on the board and attended meetings for many years after. The athletic association honored Dallas by dedicating one of the fields in his name,” she said. “I remember times it seemed like he lived up there. If he wasn’t home we always knew where he was.” The Home News regrets this error.

Harhart to host 21st annual senior expo September 18 in Cherryville Event to be held at new location and on new day of the week
Five explosive ideas to triple your revenue By CAROL RITTER
So, it’s just another “ho - hum” day at the office. Maybe you are sitting around hoping to sell something, hoping a customer comes in or calls – just hoping to make ends meet. You might be facing a problem common to many business owners: the fear of jumping off the metaphoric cliff, fear of taking that big risk. If you truly want “cash to be king” it is time to try something new. The old mantra, “if you keep doing the same thing, you are going to keep getting the same results” is very true in the business world. Well, maybe today is the day to take the leap. Here are my five explosive ideas to triple your revenue:
1. Change your mind today – only continue to do the things that work. 2. Build a word-of-mouth epidemic around your business – listen to customers first, then talk about your success. 3. Use seeding – teach folks about you and your business. Seeding is a gentle conversation, basically invite people to “hang out” and discuss your business. 4. Practice the power of yes – be ready to say “yes” before uttering that awful, easy “no.” 5. Outsmart your competition – Check out your competition and just like the show Survivor, outwit, outlast and outplay them. I remember a colleague telling me once that her retail business was ho-hum and she was having trouble making her payroll. I suggested the above tips and her response was, “At the end of the day I don’t want to see people. I’m sick of them by then. I don’t want to teach people who I am or what I do. I just want to go home.” Well, cash isn’t currently king for her, as she is out of business. Carol S. Ritter, past President of the National Speakers Association in Philadelphia, is an accomplished professional speaker, coach and educational consultant specializing in innovative leadership, outrageous fundraising, million-dollar marketing and building organizational alliances throughout the country.

by TRICIA LEHMAN Area senior citizens residing in the 183rd Legislative District are invited to Rep. Julie Harhart’s 21st Annual Senior Expo on Friday, September 18, at Bethany Wesleyan Church in Cherryville. “I am excited to once again host my Senior Expo, which always has such a great turnout. This year we are trying out a new location in Cherryville, and we will be holding it on Friday,
instead of the usual Thursday,” said Harhart. “I encourage senior citizens, their family members and caregivers to stop by for some great information, valuable health screenings and a chance to meet up with old friends.” Seniors who attend the expo will have the opportunity to visit with more than 70 local, state and federal agencies and organizations offering information on programs and services available
to seniors. Free vision and blood pressure screenings also will be offered, along with balance assessments. Refreshments will also be served.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Labor Day on Monday was the unofficial end of summer, and it was a great day weather-wise, as it has been for most of this summer. I hope everyone made the most of it. . . .Happy 275th anniversary to the Borough of Nazareth! There’s going to be a parade this Saturday, and they’ve done a lot in the town to make it a great place to live. . . .I want to wish my heartfelt sympathies to our former Mayor Don and Joyce Wunderler on the loss of their daughter Denise in New York, and certainly to her husband, Mike Ziatyk. Losing a child at any age, and a wife, is devastating. . . . Also my sympathy at the passing of JoAnn Jandrasitz, our sympathy to her family, and to the family of Jim Vaughn, who passed away last week. . . .I suppose as we grow older, it’s bound to happen that we’ll be seeing our friends and relatives pass away, one by one. But life goes on, and I guess all we can do is express our sorrow, and move on. It’s just so sad. . . . I hear they’ve gone a bit electronic at the U.C.C. church in town,
singing songs and repeating prayers that are shown on a big screen by a computer, accompanied by the pastor. Makes it easier for folks who have trouble reading fine print, I reckon. . . . With school’s open again, motorists hafta watch out for school buses along with all the other car and truck traffic on the roads these days. Just be careful, that’s what matters. . . .I hear there have been plenty of big trucks lumbering through town on Main Street, carrying sand or whatever, and a couple drivers were ticketed for overloads. . . . Get well wishes to Richie H. after a couple surgeries, and I heard “Spundy” Rehrig is on the sick list. . . . It was good to see that both the Northampton and Nazareth High School football teams got off to a winning start this past weekend. Best of luck to the Konkrete Kids when they host a mighty tough Parkland team on their actual home Erdosy Field after two years playing so-called “home” games at Nazareth because of all the construction that went on for the new middle school and athletic building and field. . . . The Phillies are back to their losing ways, and the Braves got well over them. Looks like the Mets are gonna beat out those Nationals. And the Yankees are making
hay now while the Blue Jays lose. Such is baseball. . . . As for Penn State football, I hear a local fan didn’t want to travel to Philly to see Temple lose. It turned out to be a disaster for the Nittany Lions, as Temple won easily. . . . We’ll see, come Monday, how smart the Eagles head coach was with all the changes he made, as they play those Atlanta Falcons. Enough sports, says Elmira, but that’s what guys live for. Oh well. . . . Three new handicapped sidewalks are going in down on South Walnut Street. With the number of walkers being used these days, it makes sense. . . . With Labor Day so late, Bath Council was on Tuesday this week, so Ye Ed will have his report in next week’s paper, I hear, ‘cause it was past the paper’s deadline. . . . Didya hear if anybody local won a prize for her pies, cakes or cookies in the agriculture exhibits at the Allentown Fair? . . . .Enjoy September. It’s been pretty nice. See ya!

NAZARETH AREA Morin Ready For Transition To Pro Hockey
to work hard because those guys can be better than you fast if you aren’t working hard.” While joining the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the American Hockey League (AHL) seems to be the most likely destination for Morin to begin his pro hockey tenure, it will nonetheless give him a feel for what the pro ranks have to offer. The towering defenseman is looking forward to competing against men after having,
for the most part, skated against teenagers the past three seasons in the QMJHL. “With junior hockey, the guys were small and it was sometimes annoying with the ref,” Morin said about asserting himself physically. “The guys are bigger now and stronger, so I know I can play my game like in preseason (last year) with the Flyers. That was nice. I can push hard and be myself.”

The Philadelphia Flyers have stockpiled highly-touted defense prospects in recent years and none stand taller than Samuel Morin at 6-7, 228 pounds. The 20-year-old defenseman has evolved quite a bit over the past few seasons, developing into a stalwart defensive defenseman in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). “I know people see me like just a defensive defenseman, but I know I can bring some offense sometimes,” Morin explained. The next step is turning pro
and landing a spot with the Flyers on the NHL roster– a challenge that Morin looks to meet head later this month when training camp opens in mid-September. He entered his third Flyers development camp earlier this summer in peak physical condition, adding muscle mass to his lanky frame while also noting he lowered his body fat to an impressive 8.8%. “Since I’ve been drafted by the Flyers I think I have improved a lot,” said the 11th overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, mentioning improvement in his physical game on defense and his offensive
instincts. “I have a big shot. For my size, I’m skating pretty well. I bring some offense, but my priority in my game is my defense.” Morin is as excited as any about turning the page to the start of his pro hockey career. He also knows that with so many talented young defensemen alongside him, the hard work doesn’t stop here. “They are really good guys. I like them. We push each other,” Morin said of fellow defense prospects in the system he’s been skating with this summer. “The competition is really good on defense right now. We have a lot of good defense prospects. You need

Immaculate Conception Church
“The State of Our Heart”
The Pharisees who confronted Jesus about his disciples' ritual purity were so concerned with strict observance of the law--some of which didn't even come from God-that they lost sight of God's desire for mercy, justice, and love. More than anything else, such inverted priorities caused Jesus to respond abruptly and forcefully as he directed his disciples to look at the state of their hearts before they considered their actions. When we look at Jesus' description of the human heart and the sins that rise from it (see Mark 7:20-21), we might feel a sense of self-condemnation and despair. After all, who could look at such a list without seeing something of a reflection of their own inner state? God calls us to examine our hearts not so that we would feel condemned, but so that we would know freedom and peace. Many saints have commented that the more deeply they saw their sin, the more fully they recognized God's mercy and love. The humility they demonstrated was no cowardice, but a recognition of their need for God, coupled with confidence in his power at work in them. In fact, they considered it a privilege to come to such self-knowledge, for it always led them to the Lord. It was this privilege that these Pharisees denied themselves and prevented their followers from experiencing. Through his cross, Jesus has forgiven our sins. He shed his blood to cleanse our hearts. We don't have to be perfect to be accepted by God. We simply have to respond to him by repenting of our sins, loving him in return, and choosing with a willing heart to obey him. Jesus will take care of the rest. Looking into our hearts is not such a painful experience when we realize that in the midst of the sin and darkness, Jesus is still there, wanting to shine his light more brightly. “Lord, by your cross you conquered sin. In your resurrection you removed condemnation. May these truths give us the freedom to examine our hearts and know the power of your Spirit as we seek to please you and obey your commands.”

I personally experienced this amazing love in my life after I was filled with the Holy Ghost at the age of 15. (See “Pastor Lundmark's Personal Testimony” at http://www.naog.ws/thirsty.htm). About two weeks after receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, an incident arose with my brother, just older than I, in which I normally would have lost my temper and threw something at him. To my amazement, I wasn’t even angry! I remember thinking to myself at the time “This is strange—I would have lost my temper before. I should be getting mad for what he just did, but I am not even getting angry! Then it hit me—I had not lost my temper ever since I was baptized in the Holy Ghost! Soon every member of my family knew that God had changed me!

which has custom service options; Boosterthon Live, Boosterthon Event, or Fun Run You, a school-led innovation of the popular program. Each level includes its own sliding-scale pricing structure that allows schools to maximize funds. The most exciting addition to the Boosterthon Fun Run program this year is the brand-new Student Star video. Booster is the first company in its industry to use this revolutionary technology, which allows parents to cast their child as the star in a short film by uploading their picture at funrun.com. Parents can then share the video to ask for support from friends and family in a fun and light way. “Our schools dream big for their students,” said Carneal. “And they want a fundraiser that Denise L.

dents in new ways and providing a world-class experience schools look forward to year after year.” Integrated into the program is Boosterthon’s 2015-16 giveback program, The Great Shoe Takeoff, with a goal to send 60,000 gently used pairs of shoes from the U.S., overseas. As classes reach fundraising milestones, Boosterthon will pay to fly a pair of shoes to communities in need. In developing countries, shoes can lead to better health, education and jobs. This initiative partners with non-profit delivery organizations to donate shoes where they are needed most. The Great Shoe Takeoff, like the theme, increases students’ global awareness and the idea that no matter where someone lives, they can help change the world. About the Boosterthon Fun Run The Boosterthon Fun Run is a national fundraising program that promotes fitness, leadership, and character and is used in more than 1,600 schools each year. Founded in 2001, Boosterthon reimagined an industry that relied on students selling products door-to-door. Through Boosterthon, students benefit from a fun, interactive program that makes a positive impact on schools and develops leaders. On average, Boosterthon Fun Run schools increase profits by 70 percent compared to traditional product-sale fundraisers. For more information, visit boosterthon.com.

Our Best Friends Have Hairy Legs! Featured Animals of the Week at The Center for Animal Health and Welfare
by WENDY BENEDICT The Center will work along with Vets Adopt Pets to thank and celebrate Veterans for their service to all Americans. As a show of our appreciation to all Veterans, we provide a fee waiver for the adoption of a pet from our shelter during the month of November. Veteran needs to show proof of military status and meet our adoption requirements. MURDOCK: Hi there, my name is Murdock. I am a young adult male collie/retriever mix. I am a beautiful boy, full of energy and am always looking for the opportunity to go for a walk or get in some playtime. I confess that I do take a little bit to warm up to new people and I may try to get a little bit nippy or leash grabby. (The staff will suggest that you walk me on a metal leash to avoid this from happening). Once I warm up to you and know that I can trust you, I know that we will enjoy each others company, however there should be no small children in my new home because they won’t understand the proper way to deal with my obstacles. I do enjoy the company of other dogs and I've lived with cats as well. If you would like to meet me, please ask at the front desk for Ashley or Maria. They know me well and would be happy to introduce us to each other.

ZEUS: My name is Zeus and I am a young adult handsome handful of joy and happiness. I love to way my tail and am eager for a family to share it all with. While it’s true that I am a high-energy guy, when you see me in my kennel, it may appear that I may be a lot to handle, but that isn’t the case at all. As long as you are willing to give me ample exercise, you will see that I have nice leash manners, take treats nicely and really am an equal balance of playfulness and cuddliness. I enjoy the company of most other dogs, people of all ages (although I might be a bit too giddy for the little ones) I think leisurely walks are nice and I’m looking forward to trying out the baby pool, agility equipment and other activities here at the shelter shortly, but right now I am the new guy and am still enjoying meeting all of the staff and volunteers.

Cement Worker of the Month
by ED PANY James Hess was reared in Allentown, graduating from Dieruff High School in 1977, where he participated in soccer, swimming and cross-country. He recalled, “I met Mr. Steve Mikisits, a Universal Atlas employee and cement union local president, who encouraged me to pursue a career in cement. Fortunately, I was hired by Lone Star Industries in Nazareth in 1981. I worked there as a lab technician under the supervision of two fine men, Bill Fink and the late Gerry Opresko.” As the Lone Star gradually declined, Jim took his lab skills to Lafarge, (now LarfargeHolcim), the new corporation is the world’s largest cement producer. Jeff Montgomery, Quality Control Manager, welcomed Hess to the plant. Jim has taken extensive training in x-ray technology from the Panalytical company which has enabled the Lafarge to improve their laboratory procedures. He said, “I was introduced to x-ray use at Lone Star, but since then, the x-ray has revolutionized lab procedure, and is called, “the heart of the laboratory.” The x-ray is used to analyze elements in stone, clinker, Gypsum, raw materials and the finished product. Test time has been reduced from eight hours to two hours. Jim said, “The technology is fascinating, we produce 15 different types of cement including a product used in the natural gas fields of Pennsylvania and Ohio. In order to insure top quality, control runs checks every two hours.” Hess also makes daily use of the microscope in the quality inspection process. He is presently the Quality Coordinator working with an excellent team consisting of Roake Gremmes, Daniel Marks and quality supervisor Heath Ganssle. Jim is very amiable and a friendly gentleman, who enjoys his job which can be challenging, but very rewarding. He proudly said, “We attempt to produce a quality product for our many loyal customers.” The centuryold plant continues to maintain a family atmosphere under the leadership of Lorraine Faccenda,
