recreation center. Eleven fields are a part of the center, named after individuals who helped develop the park or had much to do in making it a success. They include fields named for Jim Zartler, Joseph Wisser, Ralph McCandless, Herman Gestl, soccer coach Garcia, Evo Tavianini, Glenn Filchner, Ronald Coyle, Ted Borek, Sterling Laubach, and Elias Spengler. Buses took visitors to a large number of places that have historic value in the township and brought back so many memories, especially to those who studied in one-room schoolhouses that existed in the township from the late 1800’s up to when they were closed in 1950. These were the stops made in three trips on both days: Edelman School, Little Mexico School, Emmanuel’s Church, Christ UCC Church Little Moore, The Heil House, Graver’s Farm, Schall’s Mill, Point Phillips Hotel, Chubbsville House, Santee Grist Mill, Daniel Kleckner House and Grist Mill, Matthew Koenig Home, Gross’ Saw Mill, and the John Baumann Property.

Internal Revenue Service phone scam
by PA STATE POLICE Scam artists are working multiple angles to get your hard earned money. One of the most common tactics is the use of an aggressive phone scam, which has been described by members of Congress as “the largest and most pervasive” impersonation scam in the history of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
This particular phone scam has been reported across the United States. Victims of this scam typically receive a phone call wherin callers (usually with foreign accents) claim to be IRS employees, using false names and IRS identification badge numbers. The scammers are quite convincing and often know a lot about their targets. They also alter the tele-
phone caller ID to make it appear as though the IRS is calling. Victims are informed that they owe money to the IRS, and, if they protest, they are threatened with arrest, deportation, or suspension of a business or driver’s license. Many people are justifiably fearful of such consequences, and hastily provide the requested personal and financial information
to satisfy their “back taxes.” Some victims were reportedly told they were owed a refund, as an attempt to trick them into providing personal information. According to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Adminstration, more than 10,000 calls per week have been made to households across the country. Continued on page 4

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
New lifestyle New life Taking care of our bodies is one of the most important things someone can endeavor to do. With that being said, why don’t we? Do we truly believe that we can treat our mind and body horribly day after day, month after month, year after year, and get away without having some sort of emotional imbalance, physical breakdown, or disease manifestation? I think you already know the answer. At some point sickness will set in and we will have great despair and regret. I was listening recently to the evangelist, Joyce Meyer. Mrs. Meyer is in her early 70s and has a grueling travel and work schedule. She was discussing that the health of our bodies is extremely important and that health affects

every other area of our lives. She is right. When we are tired, worn out and beyond stressed do we really want to serve God and others? Do we really want to or have the energy to be a blessing to others when we feel absolutely lousy altogether? No, we do not. If you are living a completely stressed out life with little sleep and a horrible diet, you will get sick at some point. Period. I went

through an extended period of imbalances on many levels and had a health crisis of my own doing. Can you imagine that? The natural health doctor having a personal health crisis. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. That was almost twenty years ago and I learned from it and I am determined never to go back. It has helped shape me into the person and doctor I am today. Now what are you going to do about it? It is decision time here, folks. Are you going to continue to keep doing what you’re doing and living the way you’re living which will almost always lead to that which you do not want or are you going to make the decision to adapt a new lifestyle and live an awesome life? I say we go for the awesome life… I not only speak from the position of a natural health doctor but also from the natural perspective of a husband, father, friend and human being. I desire good health for myself and everyone I know. Hearing about others who are sick breaks our hearts. It doesn’t need to be this
way. Can you change your lifestyle? Is it too hard? Will it actually make a difference? Maybe you are reading this and you are in your late 60s or 70s and have diabetes, early dementia, poor eyesight, crying all the time, depressed, stomach pain, or other problems that you have had for years. It doesn’t matter. Change your lifestyle and your life will change! The moment you begin to change your lifestyle your health will improve. At first the starving glands, organs, and tissue will begin hungrily sucking up the nutrients that they need and then and only then, will your body, mind, and spirit begin the innate transformation that we all so desire. I am not kidding. When you start putting broccoli in your mouth, removing all alcohol, get rid of the endless sugar, sleep eight hours, fix broken relationships and go for walks daily, you will see positive change. I am not wrong. I dare you to change your lifestyle and watch how your minute-to-minute existence will

Grow UR Biz
September 3-9, 2015 5 By CAROL RITTER
Brand new Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Philadelphia Eagles, Iron Pigs, Rita’s, Martin Guitar and Amazon – I’m guessing that you know all of these brands. When you hear “Rita’s,” you know they are selling Italian ice. When you hear the name of any of these brands, you know what they do. Branding, more than anything, is about trust. When you are creating your brand, you must think about what differentiates you from your competition and how you are going to attract loyal customers. Here are some branding ideas: 1. Spend time on your brand and get it right the first time. Ask trusted colleagues what they think. 2. Create your word-of-mouth epidemic and teach the Lehigh Valley who you are and what you do. 3. Grow UR Biz and your brand with over-the-top customer service. You can have an average product, but customer service will elevate you to the next level. 4. You are the brand! Capture your audience with your personality. 5. Never oversell. Educate your future customers and build a good relationship before selling.
Moore 250th Continued from page 1
5K Race Sixty-three runners were in the race. It was organized by Phil Hunsberger, who has been staging 10-K races in the township every year since the nation’s birthday in 1976, or a total of 28 races. “I’m extremely pleased with the amount of people who showed up,” he said. “I can’t say how pleased I am at this turnout.” He said there were six categories for both male and female, and age groups in increments of ten from 13 to 59. A half dozen runners from the race 10 years ago returned again on Saturday to race. Hunsberger said it was the slowest he ever ran. But his granddaughter, 14-year-old Kayla Keppel, and her brother Josiah (20:22) did well. Trophies, hand-made pottery, and cash/certificates were given out to the leading winners as their times were announced. Out of the 63 runners, 30 were from Moore Township. Opening ceremony Brian Radcliffe, Commander of Eckley E. Patch Post #470, American Legion in Bath, led the opening ceremonies after color guards from the Legion, Boy Scout Troops 50 and 33, and Revolutionary War 6th Pennsylvania Regiment and 157th Regiment marched in with the American flag. “Star Spangled Banner” was played and audience sang as the flag was raised on the recreation center flag pole. As part of the opening, Radcliffe presented an American flag that had flown over Iraq to Michael and Gloria Wallery in

Rifle salutes were fired from both the Revolutionary War and American Legion groups, followed by “Taps.” Dick Gable, whose idea it was to have the 250th anniversary celebration, said plans started two years ago, and said there are many things in this area to be proud of.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip There was an awful lot of walking to do, but it was worth it to see all that they had up in Moore Township for their 250th anniversary celebration. I took a break when the buses came around for the tours. At least I could sit for a while between stops. Boy, we have a lot of history up there, more than you realize, when you’re growing up in it. And I reckon that goes for plenty of other places around here. That’s why it’s good to have anniversaries and historical house tours once in a while, so you can see right up close and personal what we have around here. Hats off to the historical commission and to Dick Gable for making it all possible. They deserve a big pat on the back, and maybe a toast of wine. . . . Elmira made all the rounds of the crafters’ tents, and I could barely keep up with her. . . .One tent was taking orders for those Turn Bath Pink doughnuts that will be made for the October celebration in town. They’re just taking orders now. I saw they had a notice in last week’s paper about it, too. . . . I was so tired from the weekend that I didn’t get up early enough to see the kids head off to school. I reckon they made it all right though. They didn’t need me to cheer ‘em on. . . . Kyle Grube and his Masons had a real nice clambake last month, and I hear Marty Fella, Wayne Mery and John Vitushinsky did their part to make it big for the Northampton Exchange in midAugust, too. The late P.A.K. from Bath, Pa. got me started on that binge. . . . I hear Kathy Dieter’s mom, Daisy Iasiello, passed away the day before the Moore Township anniversary at the age of 99. My sympathies to Tom, Kathy and family. . . . This is the last month to get fresh from the farm produce down at the market on Green Street. They’ve had lots of vendors this year. It’s amazing how nice the park looks the day after people shop at all the stands. We can be proud of our parks. . . . Some kin of Ye Ed’s just came back from a vacation down in South Carolina and couldn’t get over how big a watermelon they had. All kinds of measurements were made and pictures taken. . . . Didn’t check with Jennifer
of the T&C if they grow ‘em all that big down there. . . .Maybe I’ll ask Marty Beal . . . .Mets fans are drooling right about now as they start another series with the Phillies. . . .That was an exciting game that a Pennsylvania team played against Japan in the Little League World Series. They really gave it a battle all the way to the end. . . .Eagles seem to be doing great. Gotta stay healthy though. I’m thinking Chip should keep those starters off the field in that last exhib. game. We’ll see then when they start the regular season with the Atlanta Falcons. . . .Pardon me. It’s nap time . . . zzzzzz.

Focused on Folks 60+
Helping older adults prevent and manage delirium (NAPS)—Feeling disoriented can be an upsetting experience for anyone, but for older adults coping with a medical condition called “delirium,” it can be particularly disturbing. Delirium is a sudden change in mental function that can cause an older person to behave differently than he or she normally would. Some people become aggressive and agitated when they have delirium, others become sleepy and inactive, and others can experience some combination of the two. They may also appear confused about where they are or the time of day, or they may say things that do not make sense. Delirium triggers While researchers have yet to pinpoint the exact causes of delirium, certain risk factors are well established. For example, older people who undergo surgery are
particularly susceptible to a form of delirium known as “postoperative delirium.” Other common triggers include: • Changes in medications, such as starting a new medication or increasing the dose of an older one; • Dehydration; • Common lung or urinary tract infections; • Vision or hearing problems; • Conditions affecting the brain, such as infection, internal bleeding, or stroke; • Urinary or intestinal problems, such as constipation or the inability to urinate; and • Problems with the heart or lungs, including heart attacks or lung disease. “Delirium in any form is serious, and postoperative delirium is the most common complication in older adults who have

had surgery,” said Sharon K. Inouye, M.D., M.P.H., Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director, Aging Brain Center, Institute for Aging Research, Hebrew Senior Life. “Thankfully, studies have shown that delirium is preventable in up to 40 percent of cases involving older adults in the hospital.” New guidelines The American Geriatrics Society recently released guidelines to help health care professionals prevent and manage postoperative delirium in older people who are preparing to have surgery or who are in the hospital following surgery. These guidelines recommend screening older adults before surgery for factors that can contribute to delirium, such as being older than age 64 or having poor vision or hearing, a severe illness, an infection, or a memory problem such as dementia.
Delirium after surgery “Some causes of delirium, like postoperative delirium, can be managed or prevented,” said Thomas Robinson, M.D., Professor of Surgery, University of Colorado School of Medicine. “Health care professionals should consider working with a coordinated team of specialists who can use multiple approaches for treating the condition. These can include improving the patient’s sleep or encouraging him or her to engage in therapeutic activities, such as games, conversation, or physical activity,” he added. If you are an older adult facing surgery, be sure to discuss the possibility of developing delirium with your family or friends, as well as your health care team. Recommendations for preventing delirium often include drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and ensuring adequate nighttime sleep by wearing earplugs and eye

masks at night and minimizing daytime napping. If you are concerned that a family member, friend or someone you know may be experiencing a delirious episode, alert a health care professional as soon as possible, and try to help orient older adults by reminding them where they are, what time of day it is, and by showing them familiar items such as family photos. Additionally, if you are taking care of a hospitalized older adult: • Alert hospital or other health care staff right away if you notice sudden confusion or abrupt changes in behavior. You are likely to know the older person in your care best and are tuned in to even small changes in his or her behavior. • Make sure to bring the older adult’s glasses/hearing aids to the hospital. This can protect against disorientation due to vision and hearing problems. • After cleared by the health care team, help the older adult walk several times a day. This is key to recovering from surgery and helps protect against delirium. • Talk to health care professionals about minimizing the use of sleeping medications, re straints or bladder catheters, which can contribute to delirium. • Stay with the older person after he or she is released. Having someone familiar around can help address feeling strange or confused when making the transition to being back home. For more information about helping older adults cope with delirium and its effects, visit www.HealthinAging.org Changes in medications, dehydration and common lung or urinary tract infections can trigger delirium in older adults.

NAZARETH AREA Your connection to
by RENEE KEIDERLING To say that Nazareth is a strong and supportive community is an understatement. The residents, business owners and supporters rally together to make sure that Nazareth is not only a fun place to live and work, but to ensure that everyone is cared for in their time of need. Last month, that support was on full display as Forever Friends Child Care reopened. Owners, Adrienne Lopresti and Terri-Jo Moser re-opened their doors to the community and students on August 19 after being closed for months following a devastating flood. They are thrilled to have overcome the destruction of their facility due to water damage and to be able to welcome back their previous students into a more efficient, updated childcare facility. The owners couldn’t have done it without the outcry of support, both emotionally and financially, from the community. Crayola and Brown Daub Fiat sponsored the ribbon cutting celebration and 69 News was there to capture the excitement. The popular 2nd Thursday evening mixers continue in September with a special program at Martin Guitar on September 10 from 5 until 7 p.m. Tours of the museum, shop and gift store will be available that night as well as
excellent networking, food, refreshments including local beer and more! Tickets are available online at www.lehighvalleychamber.org. As the Nazareth Business Council of the Greater Lehigh Valley looks forward into October, we are excited to be partnering with the Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce for a Social Media Workshop featuring SM expert, Mike Schlossberg at Moravian Hall Square on October 1 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Mike Schlossberg, a social media consultant, author and Pennsylvania State Representative will educate attendees on how to avoid making career ending mistakes on social media and how to market their business through social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Tickets are available online and include lunch and autographed copy of “Tweets and Consequences” by Mike Schlossberg.

Pieces of history submitted by the History Committee:
• At the dedication of the Andrew S. Leh Stadium at the high school in 1965, Andrew Leh was quoted as saying: “I remember the day I was asked to become the first Nazareth football coach. I was told there were no uniforms, no field to practice on, nor any money for an assistant coach. Right away I saw many opportunities for progress.” The 80 years since that day in 1935 have indeed brought much progress. • Colonial Nazareth turned into a Victorian village around 1900, when many older buildings were “modernized” to include turrets and towers, porches,

gingerbread trim, and other architectural elements. Because of this, many buildings around Nazareth are actually much older than they look. • On August 28, 1786, a small park was laid out behind Nazareth Hall (now the Manor House). It became known as the Pleasure Garden (to differentiate it from a kitchen, vegetable or herb garden). Moravian missionaries brought back specimens of plants for it, adding to some rare plants already there. Remnants of the Pleasure Garden still survive behind Moravian Hall Square. • At one point prior to the 1950s, Bushkill Township had 11 one-room schools, with Lower Nazareth and Upper Nazareth each having two. After a decade of merger and consolidation, by 1960 there were ten buildings throughout the school district. Today there are six.

OPINION
A word from Marcia Hahn
by MARCIA HAHN In an effort to fund vital human service programs and educational services, the state House attempted on Tuesday to override portions of Gov. Tom Wolf ’s budget veto. Unfortunately, a series of override votes failed along party lines by not gaining the required two-thirds approval. Had the override been achieved, funding would have been sent to agencies most in need of state funding that are in danger of curtailing services, laying off employees or completely shutting down. Many of the line items considered this week were funded at the same or greater levels than the amounts requested in the governor’s original budget proposal. If the votes had been successful and the Senate had also overridden the veto of these line items, state funding – and in many cases federal dollars – would have flowed to domestic violence response and prevention agencies, rape crisis centers, parochial schools to purchase textbooks, school nutrition programs, cancer center services and many others. Without the successful override, these agencies are still being held hostage by a governor insistent upon a $12.8 billion tax increase over two years. I remain committed to bringing this budget impasse to an end by negotiating toward a responsible and reasonable state budget.

PennDOT, Police focus on Reduction of drugged, Alcohol-Related crashes Through Labor Day by SEAN BROWN As part of a focus on reducing drug- and alcohol-related crashes, PennDOT, state police and municipal police will take part in
the national "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" enforcement initiative through Labor Day. "Even though the number of people killed in drug- and alcohol-related crashes decreased last year, we and law enforcement will not reduce our efforts to make Pennsylvania roads safer," said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards. "Enforcement and education efforts occur year round, but will be especially focused through the upcoming holiday travel period." During last year's Labor Day weekend, there were 144 alcoholrelated crashes and 16 fatalities as well as 44 drug-related crashes and three fatalities. PennDOT statistics for 2013 show there were 3,267 drugrelated crashes statewide, with 143 fatalities in those crashes. In 2014, there were 3,332 drug-related crashes statewide with 125 fatalities. The same data also shows that alcohol-related crashes decreased from 11,023 in 2013 to 10,586 in 2014. Fatalities in those crashes decreased from 369 in 2013 to 360 in 2014. Statewide police statistics show that there were 52,636 driving under the influence (DUI) arrests in 2014, a decrease from 54,121 in 2013. DUI-drug arrests continue to account for a larger percentage of these arrests, with 20,691 such arrests in 2014, an increase from 18,987 in 2013. The legal blood-alcohol content in Pennsylvania is 0.08 for motorists over the age of 21. Driving under the influence penalties can include jail time, license suspension and fines of between $500 and $5,000. Pennsylvania's DUI Task Forces, the Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement statewide will conduct checkpoints and roving patrols as part of the crackdown. Funding comes from part of PennDOT's statewide distribution of $4.6 million in federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Love of God
These profound lines were penciled on the wall of an asylum: Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made; Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above. Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Tho' stretched from sky to sky. Yes, the love of God surpasses human comprehension! God created man to fellowship with Him, but man’s sin severed that relationship. God declares, “Your iniquities have separated between you and your God” (Isaiah 59:2). We are all in the same predicament! “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). What breaks the impasse between a holy God and sinful man? Only the love of God! “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him” (I John 4:9). Respond now to God's love—repent of your sins—receive Jesus Christ, God's Son, as your Savior and live! Jesus promised, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (I John 3:1).

Emmanuel's Meals from the Heart by PASTORS BARRY AND ELIZABETH MITCHELL What is this? This is a new ministry beginning here at Emmanuel's where we provide meals to anyone from the congregation in times of need. Meals might be needed after the birth of a baby, after surgery or hospitalization, or during a time of crisis. How will it work? Contact the church secretary or one of the Pastors if you have a need, who will in turn notify the meals ministry Coordinator and then volunteers will be contacted to provide a meal, either home cooked or purchased, and then delivered to the recipient. How do we serve? It depends on the need. A decision will be made between the Coordinator and the member how many meals are needed and for how long. It may just be one or two meals, it may be several meals per week for up to a month or two or anywhere in between. If you are willing to make a meal, you will be provided with the link to an online scheduling tool. Once on the web site, you will be able to see what others have signed up for, thus preventing repetitive meals. If possible, meals should be delivered in disposable containers to reduce the need for washing and returning dishes. What are the guidelines? We will provide a complete meal and deliver it to the recipient. It can be store bought, homemade, frozen or just about anything. It does not need to be fancy or gourmet. We will attempt to accommodate allergies and food preferences when possible. How can you help? This new ministry is an excellent way to serve others, share our love of God and make a difference in someone's life. How do I sign up? Please email Michele Geiger at mlgeiger520@gmail.com or call 610-442-7680 and leave a message with your name and phone number if you'd like to be part of a list of volunteers willing to provide meals to those in need. When we receive a request, you will receive an email with the link for the online scheduling tool. We will also put announcements in the bulletin and make announcements during church services. Romans 12:13 - "Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers."

by TONY ANDROCKITIS Hockey returns to the Lehigh Valley on Monday, September 21 when the Philadelphia Flyers host the New York Islanders in an NHL preseason exhibition game at the PPL Center in downtown Allentown. Follow all the latest Lehigh Valley Phantoms news, updates and information on Twitter @TonyAndrock_TCG. After his rookie season of professional hockey with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms came to an end in mid-April, Robert Hagg left the Allentown area both disappointed and determined. “Obviously there was disappointment that we didn’t make the playoffs,” Hagg recalled of last season while participating at Flyers Development Camp. Despite missing the postseason and getting an early start to his summer, Hagg wasted little time in preparing for the 2015-16 season. “For me, I went back to Sweden to see my family and friends back there. After two weeks off, I
started my off-ice training.” While with the Phantoms last season, his first full season of pro hockey in North America, Hagg played in 69 games - tallying three goals and 17 assists. The amount of games Hagg played last season, including a trip to Canada during the year for the World Junior Championships to participate for his native country Sweden, seemed to ware on him as the season went on - leaving his coaches in Lehigh Valley wanting more. “I think now that he’s started the year off, it’s really long. He’s seen 10 games [in 2013-14] and now he’s seeing, wow, this is really going to to go to April,” Former Phantoms head coach Terry Murray said of Hagg last season, pointing out, “He seemed to have stepped back in his intensity and got a little casual in his play, kind of feeling his way around the league when I need to see him starting to initiate, take charge and do the things at a high level
of play - more assertive overall with his emotional game.” Hagg himself noted during last season that he wasn’t used to the amount of games being played and that he played far fewer games with more layoffs for rest in the professional league in Sweden. His first pro season in North America was a bit of a reality check, and he went into the offseason determined to be prepared for the daily rigors of the American Hockey League (AHL) come fall. “I’ve lost almost 5% body fat from last year,” Hagg said of his offseason training regimen back home in Sweden. “I feel like I’m in pretty good shape for the season.” With a new coaching staff in Philadelphia and a new head coach in Lehigh Valley for the 2015-16 season combined with plenty of other talented defense prospects in the system, Hagg isn’t taking anything for granted nor missing out to give the new
