Credit card fraud department scam
via Moore Township Police Department Facebook This credit card scam has been around for a while, yet unknowing victims remain viable targets. The way it works is that the scammer calls you claiming to be from the fraud department of
your credit card company. They sound very official, knowing your address, giving you a claim number, saying they will remove the fraudulent charges, and even telling you to call back with any questions. In the process of the call, they say that they need to

And be careful when using ATM machines to make sure nothing looks out of the ordinary. If you think you are a credit card fraud victim, call your credit card company immediately to have your account suspended and have a new card issued. Additionally, you should call the credit bureaus and get a hold put on your credit reports.

St. John’s Sacred Voices concert by SUSAN FRICKERT St. John’s United Church of Christ, 183 S. Broad Street, Nazareth, presents its annual St. John’s Sacred Voices Concert, this year entitled “Let All the World in Every Corner Sing,” on Sunday, September 27, at 4 p.m. This year marks the 50th anniversary of director Susan Frickert’s call to church music ministry. Her first organist position was in 1965 at the tender age of fourteen years. Frickert has served eight different Lutheran
and UCC congregations in the Lehigh and Upper Bucks County area during those fifty years. Director of Music at St. John’s, Nazareth since 1999, she founded Sacred Voices in 2002 at the request of the church’s music committee. This ecumenical choir rehearses every year during the summer to prepare a September concert, and attracts singers from five counties. Additionally, this year’s Sacred Voices concert will showcase a very special guest choir - Dolce, Lehigh University’s Women’s Ensemble, directed by Sun Min Lee, the Robert Cutler Professor of Practice in Choral Arts at Le-

I get so many ideas when I travel. Last week I was working out of town and planned on gathering extreme customer service stories from my trip, both the good and the bad.
Day one – I’m tired and hungry and went directly to the restaurant in the hotel for appetizers and a drink. It was a beautiful place with very friendly servers. After a long day of travel, I just wanted to go back to my room, but they were taking their time getting me the check. I got up, went to the bar and politely asked about the check. After realizing their mistake in forgetting about me, the restaurant gave me complimentary drinks - great customer service. Day two – I visited another restaurant where I ordered roasted Brussels sprouts. The menu said that they came with Parmesan cheese, but after a few bites I tasted gluten. The server confirmed that they mix the cheese with panko breadcrumbs and promptly returned with a corrected order – rectifying problems quickly and politely is excellent customer service. Day three – I walked to an
outdoor restaurant that opened at noon. I got there early, but the hostess still let us in. I wanted to try the mushroom martini, but it was made with soy sauce. Being gluten free, the restaurant was quick to substitute the soy with butter to accommodate my needs - superb customer service.
Day four – We had breakfast on the beach. I chose the Lobster Benedict, but couldn’t have the English muffin because of the gluten. They substituted extra spinach and expertly handled my dietary restrictions, great job.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The Borough of Bath lost a true public servant this past week when Carl Rehrig passed away after a short illness. He served a long time on Council and as Borough Secretary, and even was on the Bath Borough Authority and the Green Mount Cemetery board. He hadta use a walker in his last years, but Carl was always dressed well, and I’m sure wife Margie helped him plenty. Living to 97 is a ripe, old age and now “Spundy” will serve in the great beyond. As they say, “Well done, thy good and faithful servant.” My sympathies to the family. . . . I hear Dick Anderson, who was a state game protector in the county for many years, has been in the Anderson Hospital down in Bethlehem Township. I hear it has been touch and go with him, so I wanta wish him a speedy recovery. . . .Also on the hospital list, Sipp from over at the Legion. He was in for some illness, and to complicate things broke his leg getting out of bed at the hospital. . . . The sidewalk and curb work for the handicappers has been going on all week
along Walnut Street, but may be finished soon. . . .Things have cooled down since Monday, and it’s kinda refreshing. Right on schedule, too, since fall begins this Wednesday, the 23rd ––– a nice time of year. . . .Looks like the Philadelphia Eagles are a disaster, and if they keep going the way they played the first two weeks, they may end up with a no-win season, and not a chance in you know what to make the playoffs. Just like the Phillies, Chip Kelly and his cohorts gave away all the best players they had. But that’s Philly sports, I reckon. . . . This is the last Friday that the Bath farmers market will be open this season, so go over there and see what they have in this year’s harvest. They’re having a celebration from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., with pumpkins in a starring role . . .Elmira and Pete hafta get up to the Bushkill Township Fire Company next Friday, Oct. 2 when the St. Luke’s Hospital staff gives free flu shots. And besides that, we wanta hear what Marcia Hahn has to say on what state government is doing. . . . Congrats to all the local 4-Hers who won in the State Achievement Days at Penn State and the junior horse show in Centre Hall. They put in plenty of hard work to get those honors. Thanks to Jan

Martin for telling us all about it. . . .Northampton and Nazareth high school football teams came out on the short end of scoring this past Friday, but they’ll win more, I’m sure. Keep plugging, guys! . . . . Often wondered about my ancestors, and one way to get the info, I reckon, is the service they advertise on TV. Only trouble is you hafta use a computer to get it at ancestry.com, so that lets me out. . . .Might as well start raking leaves before they really come down. Enjoy the fall weather anyhow.

by HOBBY Matt Hough, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Game Commission, told delegates of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs at their fall general session on Saturday that a hunting license increase is needed in order to prevent serious cuts in the agency’s services. Meeting at the Radisson Hotel in Camp Hill, the delegates and guests were told by Hough that the increase would be the first since 1999. As proposed now, the present $19 resident license would go up to $29 in the first year, $34 in the third year, and $39 in year five. There would be no increase for junior licenses or senior licenses, presently $5 and $12. Hough said Pennsylvania’s hunting license is the second lowest cost in the nation now, and in the third year would be the third lowest, and in year five the 10th lowest. Just as in 1999, the PGC expects to sell 3% less licenses with the increase, and in the past, hunters returned to buy a license 2 to 3 years later. He said the average age of hunters in our state is 53 years, and they hunt for 450 species of birds and mammals. He listed these impacts if the Legislature doesn’t approve the increase plan: Major projects and

Dining Guide Seven steps to avoid food waste and illness (NAPSI)—If your family is like most in America, you’ve been throwing away about $2,000 every year. That, according to the USDA Economic Research Service, is the cost of what the average family of four throws away as spoiled or suspect food. In fact, over 90 percent of Americans may be prematurely tossing food because they misinterpret expiration dates, according to the study by Harvard Law School’s Food Law and Policy Clinic. Fortunately, you may not have to. The problem is, while you don’t want to waste food—and money— you don’t want to get
sick from eating something rotten, either. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year, roughly one in six Americans (or 48 million people) gets sick from foodborne illnesses. What You Can Do There are, however, seven steps you can take to protect your money cans that are bulging or dented or jars that are and your life: cracked or have loose or 1.

The world’s first handheld, Bluetooth-enabled “electronic nose” has been created that connects with iOS- and Android-powered tablets and smartphones. It samples the air near the food you’re concerned about and analyzes the sample using a different algorithm depending on whether it’s testing beef, poultry, pork or fish. After extensive calculations in the cloud, it returns one of three possible results: fresh, cook well or spoiled.
Independent laboratory testing found its results are 80 to 95 percent accurate. This electronic nose is so much better than your human one because many of the volatile organic compounds emitted by spoiling food are odorless. As a result, meat and fish can be unsafe to eat but still look and smell okay. Called the FOODsniffer, the device is available at www.myfoodsniffer.com or by calling (800) 813-3712.

NAZARETH AREA Pieces of History

submitted by the History Committee: • In the 1940s Nazareth High School football games were played on a Saturday afternoon. If Nazareth won, the band, cheerleaders and students paraded through town. • The opening ceremonies for Nazareth’s 200th anniversary, held at the amphitheater in the park on June 22, 1940, included an appearance by PA Governor Arthur James. The day ended with anniversary balls at three different locations: Holy Family and the Odd Fellows Hall and Shafer Hall, both on Belvidere St.
• Rev. Floyd R. Shafer, after whom the elementary school in Nazareth is named, was the first president of the school board after six school districts merged to become the Nazareth Area School District in 1958.
• The next time you walk through Center Square in Nazareth, take a good look at the faces of the clock in the Moravian Church. Each face measures five feet in diameter! The original

• On September 15, 1741, the Moravians, who had all left Nazareth to found Bethlehem, learned that they now owned the Nazareth tract. Word finally reached them from London about the purchase in July. • The winner of the first race at the Pennsylvania International Raceway (later called the Nazareth Speedway), in September 1987, was Michael Andretti, winning at his home racetrack. • Before Shafer Elementary School was dedicated in 1964, Nazareth had two public elementary schools. Fairview School at S. Broad and Park Sts. was for students who lived south of Belvidere Street. Whitfield School at N. Broad and Chestnut Sts. was for students who lived north of Belvidere Street. • In the fall of 1945, Coach Andy Leh was told to come up with a name for the Nazareth High School football team. He knew that an eagle is a majestic, dignified bird with strength and daring, and it flies high. The school board had chosen the colors of blue and white for the

school around 1900. On the spur of the moment, Leh suggested “Blue Eagles.” • The early Moravians planned that Nazareth farms would supply food and raw materials to the industries in Bethlehem. Six settlements, called the “Upper Places,” were laid out in the early 1740s: Nazareth (the Old Nazareth Farm south of the Whitefield House), Christian Spring, Gnadenthal (which became Gracedale), Friedensthal, and the Rose Inn. Gnadenstadt (City of Grace) was never built, but was to be in the area that later became Schoeneck. • The dental office on the corner of North and N. New Streets began life in 1951 as a Church of the Nazarene. The congregation left in 1985, and the building was repurposed into a dental office.
• The current high school, completed in 1954, is the fourth building in Nazareth to be used as a public high school. It was named for Frederick A. Marcks, who retired as Superintendent of the Schools of Nazareth in 1955 after a 47-year career with the Nazareth schools. • The first fire engine in Nazareth arrived in the fall of 1792. The “Good Intent” required ten men to pump it by hand. It still exists, in the display window of the Vigilance Hose Company’s social club on S. Cedar Street. • One Moravian settlement in the Nazareth area was planned, but never even begun: Gnadenhőhe, or Hill of Grace. The area developed into the west end of Nazareth, and the name lives on in the house built across Continued on page 11

from the Moravian cemetery by Rev. Charles Kreider, who was Alice Yeakel’s grandfather. • Around 1900 the new cement mills and other industries around Nazareth needed workers. Immigrants from Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Italy, and other countries came to Nazareth to work, bringing their Catholic faith and their own cultures and traditions, and enriching the heritage of their new home.

Bath Lions aid Journey For Sight, Center for Vision Loss by Home News Staff
Members of the Bath Lions Club met this past Wednesday in the Town & Country Restaurant. A total of $105.00 was turned in for the Journey for Sight, with percentages of the collection going to Lions District 14-K and the club, all for sight-related needs. The walk-a-thon was held the previous Saturday at Bangor Municipal Park. Thanks for the donations was expressed by PDG Bill Halbfoerster. The club approved a $500.00 donation to the Center for Vision Loss, and it will be turned in at their annual “needs” night on Sept. 29 at the Northampton Community Center. The Bath Lions have sponsored Boy Scout Troop 33 since 1928 and they now meet in Klecknersville. Last night (Wednesday) they saw a special award presented to the scout troop in recognition of their helping to bring the Vietnam Traveling Wall of Remembrance to Moore Township last month. Attending the presentation were State Representatives Marcia Hahn and Julie Harhart, and State Senator Mario Scavello. Lion Bill Falstich is the Lions’ troop representative. [Story and photo in next week’s issue.] Several of the Bath Lions will attend the annual District 14-K rally at the Northampton Community Center tonight (Thursday). Also at last Wednesday’s dinner meeting, Falstich read a letter from Alexander Dailey of Bethlehem, thanking the club for sponsoring him as a student at the July 2015 Northampton County Junior Conservation School. He said he learned a great deal and now respects the environment more than ever.

Too Late!
At a prayer meeting in Washington a young man sat obviously convicted of his sin. A Christian pleaded with him to accept the Savior. He was almost ready to make the decision, but then…he hesitated and said, "No, I will get saved when I am through hauling logs. I have a month to work yet." Four weeks from that day he and a friend went swimming in Lake Tacoma. He plunged into the lake, swam out into the cold waters, and suddenly was taken with a cramp. He screamed wildly for help, then sank to his death. He was one month too late! A lady in Scotland became greatly concerned about her sinful state. She was so troubled one night she couldn't sleep. She paced the floor. Then she sat down and wrote in her diary: "Next week I will get saved." Two days later she became violently ill and then delirious. Before she died her mind cleared long enough for those around to hear her mutter: "I am one week too late! I am lost!" A young lady in New York attended a revival meeting with her parents. A Christian aunt became greatly burdened for her. During the altar call she went to her niece and urged her to get right with God. The niece refused. Later that evening they started home and were involved in an accident. The young lady, thrown violently against a telephone pole, was instantly killed. She was one hour too late! God says, “NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). I urge you to go to www.naog.ws/theway.htm and read how Jesus is The Only Way to heaven. Then pray and accept Him as your Savior. Don’t delay. The Bible warns, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:1). You may not have another month, week, or hour in which to receive Jesus! Do it Now before it’s Too Late!

program cuts; elimination of positions or not backfilling them; postponing the Pymatuning Visitors Center; scaling back habitat projects; no headquarters building for biologists in State College (they use their own homes now); cuts in state game lands acquisitions; research projects eliminated or scaled back; elk range infrastructure; compromising PGC’s ability to get Pitman-Robertson matching funds. The 714 employees would get $82.1 million out of the $115 million expected. Hough said fringe benefits have gone up from 22% to 49% since 2002, while salaries have reduced from 72% to 53% because of retirements. Since the March graduation of wildlife conservation officers, there have been six vacancies across the state. Timber sales have dropped from $12 million to just $500,000. Marcellus gas revenue has dropped so the tax from it is lower. In the past, it helped with operational costs. Public meetings on the increase proposals were to be held in the west and east, but because of the budget impasse, the PGC has now settled to have it in Harrisburg. One other thing Hough noted: Rumors that PETA was buying up all the antlerless deer licenses, no evidence of that. One hunter did buy 45, but last year he bought 50 and killed 22 deer. Fish & Boat Hike Tim Schaeffer of the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission said their license increase is similar to the PGC’s. They depend a lot on various taxes as well as federal funds. He asked that clubs support the license increases with their legislators. The PFBC wants something in place by the 2017 license year. They figure that if a license increase goes through, there will be a rush on multi-year licenses. Schaeffer also noted that there are 100 wild trout streams and they expect to name another 100. . . Under the Big Trout Program, 10% of the big trout will saturate the stocking program, approximately 250 per mile. Other Matters • John Kline, Director of Government Affairs for the PFSC, updated the delegates on some of the bills in the Legislature that affect outdoor sports. • Robert Miller of the Governor’s Advisory Council said its 20 members are dedicated to an open and fair process in working with the Governor on hunting, fishing and conservation. They also secure candidates for the PGC and PFBC commissioners. They had Gov. Wolf sign a proclamation designating Hunting & Fishing Day. • A number of video flash drives on the PFSC were distributed to all the delegates and guests by Melody Schell, On Target editor, as an aid to recruiting more clubs in the state federation. • Michele Kittell, Director of the Wildlife Leadership Academy in Lewisburg, asked that students 14 to 17 who have an interest in

as a mentor; they are designated Conservation Ambassadors; and are given college scholarships and credits. • The county delegates, and clubs that sent in proxies, voted on three issues. Elk license fees should be similar to other states, approved; peregrine falcon hunting should be part of a Sunday hunting proposal, approved; and all PFSC employees must be Pennsylvania residents, defeated. • Officers of the PFSC were elected as follows for the year 2016: John Ord, president; Denny Fillmore, 1st vice president; Chuck Lombaerde, 2nd vice president; Lowell Graybill, immediate past president;
September 24-30, 2015 15
Mike Zenzel, secretary; and Ted Onufrak, treasurer. Norman Graver of Northampton was reelected as member of the PWF board. • It was announced that the PFSC will have its second annual Great Outdoor Picnic on June 18, 2016. This year, more than $44,000 was raised at the picnic held at Penns Cave near Centre Hall, Pa. The profit was shared between the PFSC and the Wildlife for Everyone Endowment Foundation. • The spring 2016 PFSC convention will be held on March 11 to 13 at the Best Western Hotel & Conference Center in Harrisburg.

wildlife and/or fisheries conservation be nominated to attend the academy and become Youth Conservation Ambassadors across the state. They have five five-day residential summer field schools. There is a $500 fee. She can be contacted at 570-2458518. • This summer the Institute had 70 students from 39 coun-
ties attend. Pete Dalby of the Pa. Wildlife Federation proposed that each of them be given a free membership in both the PWF and PFSC. This was approved. The schools in 2016 will focus on ruffed grouse, brook trout, and whitetail deer. Benefits of the Academy are that a recommendation to college is given; students can return a second year

Flyers’ Stars Shine At The PPL Center

by Tony Androckitis (@TonyAndrock_TCG) The Philadelphia Flyers began the season with a preseason contest against the New York Islanders at the PPL Center – home of the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms. In the first ever NHL game

in downtown Allentown, the Flyers prevailed with a 5-3 win in front of a home crowd of 7,464 hockey fans excited that hockey is back in action. The PPL Center is one of just four AHL venues to host an NHL preseason game this year,

but Flyers forward Jakub Voracek was quick to compare the Phantoms’ home arena. “It’s an NHL rink,” Voracek said after the Flyers’ 5-3 win Monday night. “When you look at the locker room, the weight room, the medical room and everything it’s a great setup for players in the AHL. I think they can be pretty happy that they can play here. It’s been a great experience.” While it was only a preseason contest, the game featured some of the Flyers best players in forwards Claude Giroux, Michael Raffl and Voracek in addition to the organization’s top prospects in 2015-1st round draft picks defenseman Ivan Provorov and forward Travis Konecny, the latter of which scored his first NHL goal Monday night in the preseason opener. Most of the expected Phantoms players participated in a preseason game against the Islanders at their home rink in Brooklyn, NY – the Barclays Center – but rookie forward Cole Bardreau, who appeared in 15 games for the Phantoms last season down the stretch after finishing his senior season at Cornell University, was on the Flyers 4th line alongside Konecny and Phantoms tough guy Jay Rosehill. The trio combined for a goal and some solid play, with both Bardreau and Rosehill adding assists on Konecny’s goal early in the second period. “I thought it went pretty well,” Bardreau said of his first ever NHL contest. “Obviously, my linemates were going well with us too. I thought we had good chemistry and did the little things right. We weren't going out there to put up a bunch of goals and stuff like that, even though we got one. I thought we played pretty well together.” Bardreau is preparing for his first full season of professional hockey this fall and hopes to get in some more NHL preseason action with the Flyers before he is re-assigned to the Phantoms and begins their AHL preseason schedule, which begins with a road contest against the WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins on Wednesday, September 30th.
