Northampton Library Exterior Gets Overhauled
Turn Bath Pink events Coming in October By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News
By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News
A landscape overhaul wrapped up earlier this month at the Northampton Area Public Library. The project was spearheaded and executed by Appalachian Creations Inc. of Northampton who not only donated the new landscape materials but also donated their time and expertise to the project. The focus of the refurbishment project is to make the outside of the library as beautiful as the inside by installing updated low-maintenance landscape pieces. Appalachian Creations Inc. owner Jenn Stumer said they achieved this goal by laying down small rocks instead of mulch around the new greenery to help with irrigation and keep the landscape looking fresh and clean.

Moore Pride Days
Natural Perspectives
For the Health-Minded Individual
Dr. Glenn Clearie DC www.drclearie.com
Inner Health and Peace Clearly, physical health is wonderful to have and maintain all our God given days. Being free from aches, pains, injury and illness while enjoying the fruits of creation is, of course, our natural desire. On a much deeper level and as desirable, if not more so, is the attaining and maintaining a state of inner peace and calmness that transcends any and all situations we find ourselves in. Please allow me to expand on this just a little. I interact daily with patients that relate their desire to feel better. They present with headaches, irritable bowel, thyroid dysfunction, sciatica, etc. That’s what we do! As the course of care is implemented and significant improvements begin to become evident, we are all happy, and rightfully so. As our relationship deepens, as it often does because of the intimacy of what we address, patients typically begin to “open up” about life, family, etc. What I find oftentimes is that many, if not most, also have a deeper desire to be able to feel better on the inside and they are not speaking about internal organs. At the root of what they, we, me, you are expressing is a deep desire for inner health…. inner peace……of our soul…….they may not know how to express it in such a fashion, yet clearly this is what to which they are referring. When was the last time you studied, read, or watched a commercial about a new prescription medicine that improved soul health? You have not, nor will you. Inner peace and calm of the soul does not come in a pill form. Unless, of course, you perceive that anti-anxiety and anti-depression medications fall into this category. I would kindly and humbly disagree. What can be agreed upon is that not too much attention, nor discussion, is given to our souls outside of our faith gatherings. Football, baseball, basketball? Yes, these are often the topics that society covers at length. Try and talk about the importance of your soul at the water cooler at work and see what happens! By no means am I an ordained minister with the authority to speak to such matters, yet from my natural perspective, the soul is perhaps the most overlooked, foundational component (if I can or should, even call it that), that once paid ‘attention to’ will change everything else in your life. It’s not that you’re guaranteed to have your physical world change (it does…) but the essence of who you really are changes. Essentially the soul is made up of three important elements; the mind, the will, and our emotions. All three are intertwined and make up whom we truly are. In fact, I am going to be far reaching and state emphatically that we are much more a soul housed in a physical body then a physical body that has a soul. In other words, we could potentially be 90% soul and 10% what everyone else sees. To this end, and if this is the case, shouldn’t we seek to discover the way to improve the health of our soul? I have my personal thoughts on this end and they go beyond today’s discussion. My belief is that our souls are eternal and the body, well, doesn’t last too long in the scheme of things. Because of this, it should be our desire to have the soul nurtured, healed, and maturing, and of course…at peace. “Natural Perspectives” is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.
Submitted by DENNIS SCHOLL Actors are being sought to portray characters involved in a murder/suicide that took place along the Lehigh Canal in Freemansburg in 1898. The tragedy is the basis for a ghost walk that is part of “Haunted Hugh Moore Park,” a new Halloween event sponsored by the City of Easton and the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. The ghost walk focuses on 37-year-old John Repher, a disgruntled canal worker
who took the life of canal foreman, Dallas Bloss, on April 18, 1898, and then killed himself in his father’s presence. Bloss was a husband and father of 13 children, eight of whom were alive at the time of the killing. Actors are needed to portray Repher and his father, Bloss’s wife and two teenage children, and Henry Hahn, the locktender at Lock 44 in Freemansburg who was one of the first to discover Bloss’s body on the canal towpath. The ghost walk will take place twice a night on October

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Three Wishes
By CAROL RITTER
rat, came to meet the princess Jasmine, who was disguised as a street person and the love story began. The palace gatekeepers were horrified at the thought of the princess not marrying royalty and the plotting began. Aladdin ends up in a cave and finds the MAGIC LAMP. He rubs it and the Genie appears and what a Genie he was! He grants Aladdin three wishes. Wish number one: he wants to be a prince so he can marry Jasmine. The second wish is that he could be freed from the chains that held him and he makes a promise that the third wish will set the genie free from the lamp.
Sept. 25-Oct. 1, 2014 5
What are your three wishes? If you could have anything you wanted for your business, what would it be? The first thought might be tons of customers and tons of money, but does that truly measure success? If I had three wishes for my biz they might be: to provide extraordinary service to my clients, to be able to help people achieve their goals and, third, to have a reputation that sings integrity, trust and delivery. Wishin’ and hopin’ are not the ways to implement change in your business, however, there is nothing wrong with dreamin’. If your wishes come true, you may have tons of loyal customers and the revenue that follows. If not, you might want to look for a MAGIC LAMP in a cave somewhere!l Carol S.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Summer ended with a couple warm days on Saturday and Sunday, and now we’re into fall, and the cooler weather with its colored leaves. It’s really a nice time of year. That’s what I like about living up here in the Northeast. We have four seasons. Florida is all right, but it’s just heat and humidity as I see it. I’ll take Pennsylvania any time. . . .Happy 95th birthday to Blanche Kurtz, formerly of East Allen Township. I hear the folks serving and eating at the T & C serenaded her with the “Happy Birthday” song on Friday. . . . Rumor has it that the building that is soon to be constructed at Silver Creek Rd. and Rt. 512 in East Allen will be the new medical center of Dr. Sorathia . . . . I noticed that in last week’s paper there was a story about National Child Passenger Safety Week and that Sept. 20 was National Seat Check Saturday. Ironically, it was on Saturday that a mini van turned over and
caused a four-vehicle accident up in Monroe County. Four children were in the van. They didn’t have their seat belts or car seats attached, and all died in the accident, along with their mother. She had hers on, but the accident was so violent it didn’t help. Maybe it would have saved the kids, though. “Click It or Ticket” is the slogan, but saving lives is more important than a fine. . . . Only one more week and then on Saturday, October 4th is Bath Community Day, when the residents of Bath will turn the town pink to raise cancer awareness. Mayor Fi says there will be a pink fire truck signed by survivors and families, a MillerKeystone blood drive, Andy the talking robot mini ambulance, and an all pink pet parade on Poplar Street. There’s plenty more later on in the month,. . . . Pastor Jay R. and members of his flock were thankful for the great weather on Saturday

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Technology provided by the Lions Helps student with visual needs By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
A visually impaired student at Central Catholic High School in Allentown spoke to members of the Bath Lions Club at their dinner meeting this past Wednesday in the fellowship hall of St. John’s Lutheran Church.
Maddie Link, a junior at the school, showed the Lions some of the modern technology that helps her study and do her homework. Book reading devices, a magnifier, and a laptop Braille device that tactilely shows the letters are some of the implements. Maddie types all her notes on the Braille de-

vice, and she can play them back. When she takes a test it goes on a flash drive with Braille. Her Victor reader has the equivalent of seven textbooks. She has also scanned a textbook and put it in the reader. She attended a seminar at Penn State University for the blind on independent living and was one of four with the poorest vision. As part of the program, the blind and visually impaired students were given their own iPads. Maddie said Apple is a pioneer in making devices with acceptable functions for the blind. The summer academy also taught mobility. While math is difficult, Maddie has no problem doing honors chemistry and honors geology for her homework on her Braille device. There are user manuals on it, which she uses. She is one of the few people her age who has a guide dog. Snow Bird was at her side as she spoke. But she has to speak in French to the dog, because he was raised by a family in French Quebec. She has had the dog since her freshman year, and to get around she has to tell Snow Bird where to go. The iPad can also scan and when a $10 bill was held up to the device by her mother, Kathy, the iPad told her audibly what the denomination was. It can read American currency, but no coins, she said. Maddie has a condition that affected her retina. Kathy said when her daughter was an infant she had no light perception at six months old. Her vision leveled out to what it is now at age 11. Kathy said when the family took a trip, Maddie sat in the back seat going over her

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Looking Uptown Park plans move Forward, Atlas Dam lamented Back At Northampton Meeting September 1940
9 THE HOME NEWS Sept. 25-Oct. 1, 2014
By ED PANY
By JANA BOSKEY At last Thursday’s borough council meeting, Northampton Community Planner, Victor Rodite, informed council of a grant he would like to present for approval. Rodite first proposed plans to create a park months ago. The grant would fund a portable restroom facility to replace a building that is currently on the site. The cost of the bathroom facility was initially $35,000, but was raised to $65,000 when it was decided that an aluminum facility would be longer lasting and sturdier. Councilman Ed Pany supported Rodite’s request and said that the portable bathrooms could be used in case of emergency. “They would have more than one use and be a benefit to the community,” Pany said. A resident then took the floor to address the noise
and ruckus that, he claims, ensues on main street every morning between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. at the Edelweis Haus, a restaurant and bar on the 700 block. He stated that he wanted to make the council aware of his, and other resident’s, problems with the noise. “I don’t know what to do,” he said. “That’s why I’m here.” Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. suggested that he continue to contact the police department in spite of the resident’s concern that the police don’t do enough. Lopsonzski, Sr. reassured him that even if it doesn’t appear that anything is happening on the surface, an investigation is in progress and that it may take a while. The Northampton Food Bank requested approval of two coin tosses, one on November 1 and the second

in the spring of 2015. Their previous coin toss raised $1,063.77 in donations that helped them serve those in need. With the holiday season approaching, donations to the food bank are crucial. Near the end of the meeting Lopsonzski, Sr. took the floor and said that the destruction of the Atlas Dam is causing pollution to flow into Hokendauqua Creek. He held up a photo depicting cloudy water in the creek and said that the wildlife is being threatened. Pany, who also serves as a local labor history curator, concurred. “It is a very sad thing that is happening there.”

I found an Easton Express dated September 20, 1940 in Grace Benser’s garage. The paper sold for two cents, 10 cents a week. The Headline RAF Claims 200 Nazi Planes Routed. The article takes one back to the early days of World War II. The RAF hidden in the clouds pounced on 200 German warplanes over Dover. Churchill grimly promises Londoners: “Don’t worry – they’ll get it back.” As he inspects bomb-shattered homes, Nazi dive-bombers attack London by daylight after 13 consecutive night assaults. •English military sources estimated that perhaps 200,000 German troops are rehearsing leading exercises along the Norwegian coast. •In Northampton County, Gov. James called on residents of Pennsylvania to register for the draft on Oct. 16 and reported that the County election machinery will be ready to take care of registration, 1,600,000 men aged 21 through 35 will register under the nation’s first peace time draft. •The War Department has authorized construction of barracks and other facilities at Indiantown Gap to accommodate 20,000 troops. •President Roosevelt inspected the Philadelphia Navy Yard. He said construction of warships and airplanes
in the Navy Yard was going ahead at a much faster rate than a year ago, and he was amazed at the progress he saw there. •Wendell L. Willkie, Republican nominee for the Presidency in 1940 would make three speeches in Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. •The Administration is planning some eleventh-hour move to restrain Japan from sending troops into FrenchIndia-China. Japan demanding the right to dispatch 25,000 troops through the colony to strike at China. On a lighter note: •You could rent six room and bath home on College Hill in Easton for $25.00 and water. •A 27 acre farm, seven room house/spring water, large barn, macadam road $2,500. Ten-room home on Washington Boulevard Easton, single brick, garage $6,500. •A 1939 Oldsmobile Sedan, Radio, heater $225.00 •A 1936 Chevrolet Coach, new tires $115.00 •The Dundee Clothing Factory had suits for $12.75, alterations, free.

secondary uses have such an impact on the trails that $4.5 to $5 million a year is spent to maintain them. 67 percent of hunters in the state would support the user permit, according to a study done in June. Under the PittmanRobertson Act, the PGC cannot act if it is not manageable. They have an obligation to manage the game lands. Regardless if a fee is imposed or not, the PGC will manage them. The permit fee for those who are not licensed hunters, except hikers and bird watchers, is intended to mitigate the millions of dollars in maintenance costs. The proposal for a fee by the PGC will be voted up or down in January 2015, said Bill Caposulle, Director of Wildlife Habitat Management for the PGC. Bryan Burhans, the new Deputy Executive Director of the Game Commission was introduced. He told the sportsmen: “Conservation will always be carried on the backs of hunters.” It was reported that 26,000 elk license tags have been sold. One hunter from the state of Washington shot a 10x10 elk. • H.B. 1565 changes mandatory buffer safeguards on quality value streams from 150 ft. to “best management practices,” and the sportsmen see that as an unknown, and could possibly reduce habitat. The delegates voted against it. • Tim Schaffer of the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission noted that the agency gets $5 from the P-R Fund for every fishing license they sell. He reported that the Bassmasters Classic in Philadelphia was a rousing success. Commissioner Rocco Ali said when the bass anglers went to the amphitheater for the weigh-in there were 3,000 to 4,000 people there. The tournament was in the Delaware River.

ing will go to removal of high hazard dams over the next five years. He urged the sportsmen to contact their legislators when there is a local project such as Minsi Lake in Northampton County. Under a new proposal, senior lifetime license holders will be required to buy a trout stamp as well every year. He reported that Asian Carp are invading the Ohio River, and the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission will work on ways to stop it. • The PFSC’s lobbyist in Harrisburg, John Kline, reported that the legislative session ends Nov. 30 and there are nine session days. He believes the PGC-PFBC merger won’t be voted on this session. The endangered species bill is dead, and he reported his slant on H.B. 1750 that we noted earlier in this column. H.B. 2178 passed the House.
Kline and his sister Monica visit legislators’ offices regularly. He said the PFSC is truly a “grass roots” organization. When asked by John Berry of the Delaware River Shad Fishermen’s Association what he has done about this organization and the Pa. Wildlife Federation’s efforts calling for removal of the Easton dam, Kline said he brought the message, but has gotten no response so far. • N.R.A. representative Maria Heil from New Freedom, Pa. reported that the NRA-ILA Symposium will be Oct. 11 in Baltimore. She questioned why Form 4773 has a race/ethnicity background check clause in it.

There Is A Perfect Country
I want to tell you of a wonderful country, where there are no tears or heartaches--no sickness, pain or death. The people there never get tired and never grow old. There are no accidents of any kind. You will travel for thousands of miles and never see a cemetery or meet a funeral procession, for no one ever dies. Nothing ever spoils. The flowers never lose their fragrance and the leaves are always green. There are no germs or fevers--no pestilence of any kind. The temperature is exactly right. No clouds ever darken the sky and harsh winds never blow. There are no drunkards. None are immoral. There are no illegitimate babies. Prisons, jails and reformatories never darken the landscape. Doors have no locks and windows no bars, for thieves and robbers never enter there. No lustful books are read, and unclean pictures are never seen. No taxes are paid and rents are unknown. It is a country free from war and bloodshed. None are deformed or lame. Nor is anyone blind, deaf or dumb. Leprosy and cancer, palsy and tuberculosis are words that this country has never heard. No asylums are there, for none are feeble minded. Doctors are never needed and hospitals are unknown. You ask me how I know all this? Have I been there? No, I have not yet had the privilege of visiting this country, but others have. And One, who has lived there has come, and told me a great deal about it. “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain” (Revelation 21:4). Do you want to go there? Then get ready now. Open your heart to Jesus Christ, the Lord of the country, and ask Him to come in. Then, when the journey of life is ended, you too will go to this wonderful country and dwell there for ever more. Will you do it? Do it—Now! --Oswald J. Smith

News Sermonette The Rev. J. Timothy Fisher
Pastor of Chapman Quarries and Bushkill United Methodist Churches
Seeking a Deeper Walk With God
Devotional practices among people of faith have been around for a long time. The Rule of St. Benedict has guided people seeking a deeper walk with God and in community for fifteen hundred years and Benedict himself commended St. Basil of Caesarea’s Rule, who preceded him by nearly two centuries. But this longevity pales in comparison to Deuteronomy’s, which joins devotional practice and instruction to the Great Commandment to love God in one of the earliest affirmations of faith in the Bible: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” (Deuteronomy 6:49, ESV) Jesus himself later affirmed this as the Great Commandment and joined it with another that gave it flesh to incarnate the love of God with: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39 from Leviticus 19:18; the whole summary teaching of Jesus is found in Matthew 22:37-40.) The Psalms are full of encouragement to meditate upon the law, or precepts, or commands of the Lord, as they are variously called – all devotional means to embed within the very fiber of our being the way of life. From the very first Psalm – “Blessed is the one…whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.” (1:1-2) – to the great celebration of the Law which is the whole theme of Psalm 119, this is among the Psalms greatest songs. The words themselves are used over eighty-five times to remind us to dwell upon them. This is to say nothing about the number of times these words appear, along with counsel and meditate, in Proverbs and the various Prophets and Letters of the Old and New Testaments. Mulling over and chewing on sacred Scripture, what’s been called lectio divina – divine reading – has always been one of the principle ways God speaks to us and keeps us centered, spiritually healthy people. Imagine how interesting it was to read the other day an article in the Wall Street Journal devoted to a rediscovery of “Slow Reading.” (“Read Slowly to Benefit Your Brain and Cut Stress,” Jeanne Whalen; September 16, 2014) – Could that be what devotional reading has been about all along? Perish the thought! Apparently it’s just been realized there are “numerous benefits to a regular reading habit, [and some are] saying it improves their ability to concentrate, reduces stress levels and deepens their ability to think, listen and empathize.…A study of 300 elderly people published by the journal Neurology last year showed that regular engagement in mentally challenging activities, including reading, slowed rates of memory loss in participants' later years. “A study published last year in Science showed that reading literary fiction helps people understand others' mental states and beliefs, a crucial skill in building relationships. A piece of research published in Developmental Psychology in 1997 showed first-grade reading ability was closely linked to 11th grade academic achievements.” Of course, what’s missing here is that it matters not merely how slowly or how rapidly you read but, principally, what you read. The cliché “garbage in, garbage out” does not simply apply to anything from the computer-age. There was a time from the not-too-distant past when all reading was itself taught using a healthy amount of Scripture and these formative memories lingered much longer than any ‘11th grade academic achievements.’ We would do well to heed Paul’s counsel to the Philippian church: “…whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (Philippians 4:8) And as he concluded, so do I: “Practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” (4:9)
