The Home News Allen Township board discusses Building code inspections By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Robert Fitch of Bureau Veritas, a building inspection firm in Broomall, Pa., discussed third party billing with the Allen Township Board of Supervisors at their meeting on August 26. It was a discussion of the current agreement the township has with them. Fitch said there is consistency in the mode of operation with only one billing. If there is more than one inspector, Fitch said, the Uniform Construction Code (UCC) may be interpreted differently. He said it is important to look at line items. Fitch said that rates haven’t changed, $55 per square foot for residences and $195 for commercial value of $5,000 to $10,000 under
a non-inclusive contract. Supervisor Al Pierce said there have been complaints that the inspections are taking too long. Fitch said under Pa. law they have 15 days to approve or reject drawings, which often are done by architects. Building code officials are responsible for what is turned in for residential and commercial. Fitch said a third party official has to look at everything, including A.D.A. compliance. Where most problems lie, he said, is with electrical inspections. Fitch noted that an engineer for the FedEx project that is on the horizon complimented his firm for an excellent plan review, telling him that it will enable the construction people to “hit the ground running.”
Slatington Lions Club Car Show
About 475 cars of all shapes and sizes, early and late models, were shown at the 26th annual car show of the Slatington Lions Club at the Slatington Airport along Rt. 873 on Sunday, August 31. Thanks was expressed to a number of local businesses that served as sponsors in cooperation with the Slatington Lions). –Home News photos
Buena Veritas uses three persons for inspections, and he told the supervisors, “We’re here to protect the public. Inspectors must know the U.C.C. thoroughly and they try to be consistent and fair,” he said. Pierce questioned Fitch on a number of issues related to square footage costs and billing fees.
-----------------------
“We’re here to protect the public.” Robert Fitch ----------------------Builder Ed Deichmeister, who was in the audience, questioned the permit fee, saying it isn’t the same for a homeowner and a developer. He said there are different prices per square foot, and told the board that he would like to have someone local for code enforcement, not a firm in Broomall or other distant place. Other Matters • The board got an update on the filling of the Krapf quarry, which has been going on for a couple of years. It was noted that they have a plan in place showing what the property will look like when it is done. It was submitted to the Northampton County Conservation District and Hanover Engineering, the firm that represents the township. • Quarry Hills Estates was given a waiver of 18 months rather than 30 months with additional stone to 3-1/2 inches rather than two, so that will contain additional drainage, engineer Jim Milot said. • The Towpath Estates subdivision by Leibenguth Exca-

vators was discussed briefly, the supervisors saying that there should be a wall to contain 10 feet of dirt. A letter of credit will be recorded on September 11. • Someone came in to the township office recently and questioned about having a gun on his person when in a township park. The township ordinance says that discharge of firearms is illegal. Township Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell told the board that they can’t regulate possession if the person has a right to carry. State law supersedes townships in that regard. The township will change the sign so that now it reads, “No discharge of weapons in the park.” •Supervisor Larry Oberly also suggested that ordinances need to be looked at for any changes if they’ve been in place for eight or more years. He recently attended a meeting of Northampton Area School District officials that encouraged better communication with municipalities in the district so they know when major events are scheduled or when there is a call for evacuation or serious accidents that may occur. Another meeting will be held in November. A resident at last Tuesday’s supervisors meeting suggested that the emergency management coordinator and fire chief should also attend. •Township Manager Ilene Eckhart reported that the principal of Catasauqua High School wants input from Allen Township on what regulations should be in place for Willowbrook Rd. parking. It was noted that W. Bullshead Continued on page 3

Focused on Folks 60+ Home Helpers – Northern Lehigh Valley Supports a Strong Today – Falls Free® Tomorrow on Falls Prevention Awareness Day Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries for those 65 years of age and over. Every 14 seconds, an older adult is seen in an emergency department for a fall-related injury. The chances of falling and of being seriously injured in a fall increase with age. “We can change this by bring greater attention to the many preventive measures that can be easily employed to keep our seniors safe.” In addition to the emotional and physical damage caused by a fall, it can result in debilitating injuries, such as broken hips and head trauma. More than 50 percent of older patients who survive hip fractures are discharged to a nursing home, and nearly half of these patients are still in a nursing home one year later. This year’s theme, Strong Today – Falls
Free® Tomorrow, highlights the important roles professionals, older adults, caregivers, and family members play in raising awareness and preventing falls in the older adult population. “Falls are not a normal part of aging and the resulting injuries can steal quality life from seniors and their families,” said Albert Terrillion, NCOA Senior Director, Clinical Community Partnerships. “This awareness day is an opportunity for older adults and their support communities to learn how to reduce falls risks so our seniors can stay independent for as long as possible.” Studies show that a combination of interventions can significantly reduce falls among older adults. Experts recommend: • A physical activity regimen with balance, strength training, and

Oberly said a sign should show a list of restrictions for dog owners. Oberly, Bruce Frack and Ms. Eckhart will make a decision on the sign, costing a limit of $1,000. •Oberly said sewer rates will be looked at in September because Northampton Borough Authority and the City of Bethlehem water authority have two different ways to measure water, one by cubic feet, the other by gallons. •Supervisor Dale Hassler suggested that an ad be placed seeking help for winter road maintenance since winter is fast approaching.

the money is needed to repair trails damaged by those individuals. If the proposal is discussed at the Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs’ general session on Saturday, Sept. 20 at Camp Hill, Pa., the Northampton County delegate, Lee Marsh, will approve it, if or when it comes up for a vote.

Rain Barrel Workshops in Moore Township
Submitted by JIM WILSON The Monocacy Creek Watershed Association, in partnership with Penn State Master Watershed Stewards, invites the public to a buildyour-own rain barrel workshop under the pavilion at the Moore Township Recreation Center, 635 English Road, Bath on Saturday, September 20. Watershed Stewards will provide all the materials and tools necessary to help you build your own fully functioning rain barrel, ready for installation at home. Choose from three, 45-minute workshops from 11:00 a.m. until 11:45 a.m., 12:00 p.m. until 12:45 p.m. or 1:00 p.m. until 1:45 p.m. Each workshop is limited to ten participants. Monocacy Creek Watershed Association members will also be on hand with information to share about their local conservation efforts and how you can get involved. Rain barrels are great water saving devices and ideal for gardeners. The barrel sits under a downspout and collects water from rooftops each time it rains. The collected rainwater can then be used to water lawn and garden plants, which helps conserve household water use and decreases utility bills. And the rain barrels can be painted with paints that adhere to plastic. The cost of the workshop is $40, which includes a plastic 55-gallon drum and all the necessary parts and assistance to build a rain barrel. Similar rain barrels cost up
to $100 at home and garden centers. Registration is required. To register online, go to http://extension.psu.edu/ plants/gardening/events and scroll down to September 20 Rain Barrel Workshops. For more information about the workshops, call 610-391-9840. The Monocacy Creek Watershed Association strives to protect, preserve and restore Monocacy Creek and its watershed through community connections. The Association is looking for new members to help protect the land and water resources under its care. For more information or to learn how you can help, contact Northampton County Conservation District Watershed Specialist at james-wilson@northamptoncd.org or at 610-746-1971.
Northampton County Hay Producers Earn Top Placings Submitted by DONNA FOULK
Once again Northampton County farmers have proven that they produce some of the best hay in Pennsylvania by winning top awards for their hay at the Pennsylvania Forage and Grassland Council Hay Show held at Ag Progress Days. Each year, hay growers from many counties showcase their best hay in hopes of gaining elite recognition. Class placing is based on the nutritional analysis of the hay and visual inspection of the sample. In spite of very challenging hay making conditions, 49 samples of hay were awarded ribbons at the PFGC hay show. The field cured grass hay classes were very competitive, containing many entries from throughout the state. Ray Mack, from Pen Argyl, took first place for his first cutting orchard grass hay and James Heimer, also of Pen Argyl, took fourth place in the first cutting grass hay class. The later cutting, field-cured grass hay class also contained many entries. Jim Hiemer took third place in this class. James Williams and Rich Roy Farm, both of Pen Argyl, earned fourth and fifth place ribbons respectively in this very large class. Local farmers also took top honors in the classes for legume hay species. Ray Mack earned first place in the first cutting field cured alfalfa hay class and second place for his sample of later cutting alfalfa. Ray also submitted a sample of clover hay, which earned a third place award. Dennis Newhard of Nazareth took top honors in the partially heat dried alfalfa and alfalfagrass classes. Dennis earned first place in four classes - first cutting alfalfa, later cutting alfalfa, first cutting alfalfa-grass mix, and later cutting alfalfagrass mix. The later cutting alfalfa entry was also the overall Grand Champion of the 2014 hay show. It is without a doubt that Northampton County farmers are deeply-rooted in agriculture and fueled by a drive to succeed. Of the 49 hay samples that received awards, Northampton County produced 25% (12) of those entries. The passion for high quality hay production is visibly evident through all of their hard work and accomplishments.

Contention over Capitol Improvement Plan at Lehigh Township Meeting By JOE KORBA The Home News
A capitol improvement plan for Lehigh Township has been on the agenda for supervisors since the spring. It seems that Borough Manager Alice Rehrig and Supervisor Cindy Miller have been making progress, even if there is disagreement over some of the details. One of the major points of contention at the August 26 meeting was the life expectancy of equipment used in each of the borough’s departments. During a discussion of the updated capitol improvement plan, Miller seemed dubious about the lifespan of some of the equipment as reported by department heads. Citing information received from relatives in the construction industry, Miller said “a loader should go about 20 to 25 years for how often we use it.” The estimate is five to ten years longer than the one given by Public Works Director Frank Zamadics. “Who
are we going to go by? Why do we even bother asking department heads?” Supervisor Keith Hantz said in response. Chairman Darryl Snover proposed a capitol improvement plan workshop. “It’s reasonable to bring in department heads and ask them,” Snover said. When some other supervisors questioned why the department heads weren’t in attendance in the first place, Hantz replied that the supervisors “might not like the answer if we ask department heads why they don’t come to meetings.” Ultimately, the supervisors decided that they needed more time to review the plan before making any motions. Delps Road Park Project The Delps Road Park project was also on the agenda for the evening. Phil A. McNemar, a representative of the engineering firm F.X. Browne, Inc., was invited by Rehrig to discuss his firm’s proposal for a bid on a project at the park. F.X. Browne

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Lessons from the Golden Girls
By CAROL RITTER
Ahh, the Golden Girls, a blast from the past, hysterical, comedic genius on Saturday nights with a hint of naughty. From 1985 until 1992, they came into our homes. There was Rose (played by Betty White, star of Hot in Cleveland), innocent and always missing the punch line. Dorothy (Bea Arthur) can’t get a date and she could give looks to kill. Blanche (Rue McClanahan), the frivolous man chaser and Ma or Sophia (Estelle Getty), Dorothy’s smart aleck mom from Sicily. Picture it; every show included some kind of discussion in the kitchen in their robes, eating cheesecake. If you are too young to remember this show, bear with me, and I insist you look for a rerun. If you are having a bad day it will be funny, funny, funny. This week Rose insisted they all attend a workshop on positivity. The motivational speaker walks in and the audience yells, “YOU’RE SPECIAL!” After a short intro, the speaker asks if anyone is new to the class. Dorothy and Ma stand up and introduce themselves. Dorothy said her name and Ma introduced herself as movie star Melanie
Griffith. Everyone starts telling them they’re special but it’s not genuine, not sincere and not believable. Dorothy and Ma get up to leave and say they are not comfortable here and the speaker begins to tell them they obviously have a negative attitude and need to stay to get positive. The question is, is that possible? When it comes to your business, we might want to take some lessons from the Golden Girls. You might even have these above-mentioned personalities in your business. Here are some tips for helping to create positive atmosphere in your biz. 1. The leadership/boss/ leader creates the atmosphere... everyone is appreciated for what they do, no matter what their position. 2. Excellence is not just talked about, it’s lived. By the way, excellence does not mean perfection. 3. Treat everyone like they
known for her love of animals. Take it from Ma, as she went to leave the workshop her Sicilian personality says, “I’m leavin’, you’re all nuts!” Isn’t that special!

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Labor Day is over. Unofficially, it’s the last day of summer. The weather was great, perfect for backyard picnics or whatever you wanted to do outdoors. So what if it’s the end of summer. There’s still some weeks of nice weather ahead before we get into fall, so enjoy it while you can. I dread to think of winter after that, especially if we get another cold, snowy and icy one like we had last year. By the way, the first day of fall is on September 23. . . . The big news this week is the partial blacktopping of Rt. 512 south of Bath and well into town. The highway took a beating over the winter and it needed a re-surfacing. There were PennDOT trucks, rollers, and diggers all over the place as they got set to lay the blacktop in strips where there were wide cracks that popped up. It was one-lane traffic for the project, but thankfully cars and trucks
got through without much trouble. Haven’t heard yet if they’re gonna do the full width of the highway, but it would be great, just like they did up along Rt. 946. With the transportation bill that was passed we’re finally seeing some work done on our roads.. . . .Another project going on in Bath is behind the Wells Fargo Bank. The foundation is being put in for a Dunkin Donuts drivein business that has been on the drawing board for quite a few months. . . . Muschlitz Excavating equipment is on site down along 512 where it looks like another warehouse will be going in. I haven’t kept up with what’s on tap in East Allen, so I’m not sure of what building it will be. Time will tell. . . . Ye Ed’s daughter Gail called him from Atlanta on Monday, telling him she was at the Braves-Phillies game. Even though a former Phillies rooter, she said she’d be

It should be a good one, and our school taxes are helping get it done. Should be exciting for the middle school youngsters with all the technology that’s going into it from what I hear. . . . I think I’ll stop by and look at the progress on Saturday when I’m over at Northampton’s Sister Cities Celebration. It’s just over the hill from there. . . . Former Valleri’s Pizza and the former Home News/exercise buildings are still vacant in town. Would be nice to see ‘em occupied again. . . .One more month till Bath Community Day and Turning Bath Pink. Can’t wait for that celebration! . . . . Prediction is that the Philadelphia Eagles will win 10 games this year. Anybody taking a bet on that one? . . . . Have a good week, everybody. See ya!

What to Do When Approached by a Game Warden
This text has been adapted from Warden Courtesies with permission from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. Each year Pennsylvania wildlife conservation officers (WCOs) check thousands of hunters, trappers and game land users for compliance with wildlife laws. These officers enforce laws intended to keep people safe, protect personal property and conserve Pennsylvania’s wildlife resources. A compliance check by a wildlife conservation officer is an opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to have positive interactions with officers while in Penn’s woods. Officers can explain laws and describe outdoor opportunities and conditions in the surrounding area. These are things that you can do to help ensure your experience with an wildlife conservation officer is a positive one: While Hunting: •Wildlife conservation officers check hunters for firearm safety and compliance with hunting regulations. When approached by an officer, you are expected to follow all basic firearms handling rules. •DO NOT attempt to load or unload your firearm while being approached by an officer. •Point the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction away from the approaching officer. •Make sure your safety is on. Keep your finger away from the trigger. •Comply with all instructions directed to you by the officer. While Driving: •Wildlife conservation officers may stop motor vehicles at checkpoints used for gathering statistics and enforcing wildlife laws. In addition, officers have the authority to stop motor vehicles for violations observed on Pennsylvania’s highways. •An officer may direct a stop of the vehicle either by signaling a stop with a body gesture or through the use of emergency lights and/or siren. Wildlife conservation officers will identify themselves while in uniform or by providing a badge or state law enforcement officer credential. •When signaled to stop by a wildlife conservation officer please do the following: •As soon as safely possible, bring your vehicle to a complete stop and allow the officer to approach you. Failure to stop for an officer may result in criminal prosecution, significant fines and arrest. •Be courteous and follow any directions given by the officer pertaining the vehicle inspection. Your cooperation will expedite the inspection process. You can help make your interactions with wildlife conservation officers positive by having a courteous attitude. By promptly complying with all requests as directed by the officer, you can help ensure a safe, pleasant and productive experience. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to ask the officer for advice and valuable tips. In Northampton County, the WCO is Bret Krieder. In Lehigh County, the WCO is Kevin Halbfoerster. The southern portion of both counties, below Rt. 22 is the jurisdiction of WCO Shawna Burkett.

Siegfried Station Repairs
-Photo by Sonia Csencsits
Train Station is located on the West side of the building, on the center side of the roof, down front. There has been water coming into the building. R.C. Silfies and Son replaced the shingles on the turret roof. (The men removed existing shingles, applied an ice shield, applied the shingles and cleared the debris from the property.) The shingles are Pewter Gray, a color that resembles the slate roof that would have been installed during construction of the station. The decorative tin ornament on the top of the turret was painted an aluminum hue. The project cost $2,000 and was paid with money from the Restoration Fund. When you are in the area, stop by and take a look.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Northampton Area High School Faculty Complete ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
By CATHERINE STROH
Do you know what the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is all about? Lately it has been taking social media by storm and involves dumping a bucket of ice and water over a volunteer’s head to promote awareness of the disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
and encourage donations for research. The Ice Bucket Challenge hit Northampton Area High School with an icy splash on Friday, August 29. Students waited outside in anticipation to see three of their teachers perform the challenge. Ann Savkova, one of the school’s
English teachers, Candy Wingate, a Physical Support Teacher, and Marc Bernstein, supervisor for the Intermediate Unit took the plunge and completed the challenge. The three faculty members went on to volunteer more participants to keep the craze going that has raised almost $100 million.

Pool Progress and Landlord Ordinance on Nazareth Council’s Agenda By DAVE SICA The August 28 Nazareth Borough Council meeting began with an update on the pool construction project at the Nazareth Borough Park. Spillman Farmer Architects, the firm working on the project, showed some photos and discussed progress. The photos showed a fair amount of foundational groundwork and plumbing that was installed. The bathhouse and public restrooms seemed the most complete with the structure built for the bathhouse, the bathroom walls constructed and windows in place. According to the architecture firm, the construction is within budget. The concrete setting is a bit behind, making the October 31 deadline a “nail biter” according to the representative from Spillman Farmer. Local political blogger, Bernie O’Hare, once again spoke about alleged problems with the Nazareth Police Department. “Nazareth was known as the kazoo town, now it is known as the ‘cupcake’ town,” O’Hare said to the council. The remark was referring to a comment made by District Judge Jacqueline Taschner at
a trial last month where three Nazareth men had criminal charges dismissed. The men were charged with multiple counts after being accused of putting stickers around town criticizing Nazareth Police Chief Thomas Trachta. After exonerating the men, Judge Taschner told Trachta that he needs to toughen up as a public official, saying that he needs to “suck it up, cupcake.” Several local papers used the comment in headlines and articles. O’Hare distributed cupcakes to several citizens in attendance while council refused the political blogger’s symbolic gesture. Councilman Lance Colando said that while he appreciated the sarcasm, the cupcakes were “not amusing or funny.” Colando explained council’s actions regarding the allegations; “Things do not get done in a sixty minute Law & Order episode. There are civil service and police unions to consider. It has to be handled carefully.” Councilman Frank Maurek concurred, saying, “it will be addressed.” Issues concerning a vacant building and housing in the borough were discussed.
Councilman Carl Fischl suggested hiring a “part-time quality of life officer.” Fischl said that the position once existed and suggested its reinstatement. However, many of the other council members believed that the police should be the ones investigating quality of life concerns. Banner Program Nazareth resident Stephanie Barone returned to discuss the status of the banner program and revitalization
The 2014 Nazareth fall sports season has started. On Thursday, August 28, the Nazareth girls tennis team beat Emmaus 7-0. On Friday, August 29, the Nazareth football team fell at home 21-14 to Stroudsburg, the Nazareth field hockey team beat Freedom 8-0 and the girls tennis
project she has been working on. A new, unspecified business was recruited, and will open on September 8 on 556 S. Main Street. A lot of businesses have already purchased the banners that Barone designed and should be ready in four to five weeks. Others have expressed interest in purchasing. The landlord registration and inspection ordinance has been frequently discussed legislation at prior meetings
and has undergone many revisions. The most recent pushed back the date of the first inspection to 2016 and modified fees. The most vocal and opponent of the most recent amendments was Councilman Fischl. He defined the back and forth revisions as “Neville Chamberlain appeasement.” Fischl said the council kept “kicking the can down the road” and that the inspections should start this year.

ment Area 2 (DMA 2), which encompasses about 1,600 square miles in Bedford, Blair, Huntingdon, Cambria and Fulton counties. Portions of three Wildlife Management Units – WMUs 4A, 4D and 2C – lie within DMA 2, and regular antlerless licenses to be used in those WMUs have been sold out for some time. For hunters within DMA 2, there’s an advantage to holding a permit as opposed to a regular antlerless license. Unlike antlerless licenses, DMA 2 permits can be used within DMA 2 during any deer season. While a hunter in the firearms deer season to begin Dec. 1 must wait until Dec. 6 to harvest an antlerless deer with a regular antlerless license, a hunter with a permit can use it as soon as the season opens. The permit can be used in any other deer season, as well. There are some differences between the application process for a DMA 2 permit and that for an antlerless license. Only residents and nonresidents ages 12 and older with valid general hunting licenses may apply for permits. Participants in Mentored Youth and Mentored Adult hunting programs are ineligible to make application, and the permits cannot be transferred to participants in those programs. Each permit costs $6.70, and payments must be made by credit card, or check or money order made payable to the “Pennsylvania Game Commission.” Applications for DMA 2 permits are accepted in two ways – electronically through the Game Commission’s Outdoor Shop, or by mail. The Outdoor Shop can be accessed at www.theoutdoorshop.state.pa.us. Once entering the Game Commission’s Outdoor Shop, click on “Permits” and select “DMA 2 Antlerless Deer Permit” at the bottom of the permits page.
Outdoors Miss Out On A Doe License? Purchase A Permit Instead
Submitted by TRAVIS LAU Antlerless deer licenses are sold out in most of the state’s Wildlife Management Units, and in each unit in southcentral Pennsylvania. But those who didn’t get a license still have the opportunity to purchase one or more special permits that can be used to take antlerless deer in any deer season within portions of Bedford, Blair, Huntingdon, Cambria and Fulton counties. About 5,000 such permits, which were allocated in an effort to slow the spread of chronic wasting disease in Pennsylvania, remain. That’s fewer than half of the 13,000 allocated this year, meaning hunters who are looking to get a permit are encouraged to act fast, said Game Commission Executive Director R. Matthew Hough. The application schedule for DMA 2 Antlerless Deer Permits resembles that for regular antlerless licenses, Hough explained. There are a number of different rounds, and applications submitted in those rounds aren’t accepted before the designated start date, he said. “We’ve already entered the round in which hunters can make application for an unlimited number of permits, meaning the remaining permits could sell out very quickly.” DMA 2 permits may be used only within the area known as Disease Manage-

Those making application electronically must pay by major credit card. Those making application by mail can pay by check, money order or major credit card. Application forms can be obtained at the Game Commission’s website, the agency’s Harrisburg headquarters or any region office. Applications that are mailed should be placed in a regular envelope. Multiple applications can be sent in one envelope. The application schedule is now in the third round, when eligible applicants may submit an unlimited number of applications. The round will continue until all permits have been issued. DMA 2 is the lone area of the state where CWD has been detected in free-ranging deer. A total of 13,000 permits were made available with the intention of reducing the deer population by one deer per square mile in DMA 2. Responding to a need identified by the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners, the permits seek to focus hunting pressure inside the DMA, where deer numbers must be kept in check to slow the potential spread of CWD. At the same time, the permit system enables the Game Commission to avoid a reduction in the deer herd in the area surrounding DMA 2 – where CWD has not been detected. “Our CWD Management Plan guides us to increase the antlerless deer harvest in areas where CWD has been detected in free-ranging deer,” Hough said. “If we attempted to reach that goal by increasing the allocation of antlerless licenses throughout an entire WMU, or in this case, a number of WMUs, we wouldn’t necessarily achieve the population goal because the license might be used outside the DMA rather than within it. “With the permits, we can direct hunting pressure more precisely into the area that
most needs additional deer harvests,” Hough said. Those who are issued DMA 2 permits are required to submit reports, regardless of whether they harvest a deer. Harvests must be reported within 10 days. Nonharvests must be reported by Feb. 5. Those who fail to report as required are subject to criminal prosecution and may be ineligible to apply for permits if the program is continued the following year. Through their reports, hunters provide valuable data that plays a crucial role in the Game Commission’s management of CWD. Special rules apply to those hunting or residing within a Disease Management Area. Hunters harvesting deer within a DMA should be aware that the deer parts with the highest risk of transmitting CWD – namely, the head and backbone – may not be transported from within the DMA
outside the DMA, unless by special exception. Hunters who live outside a DMA in which they hunt should make plans to use a processor or taxidermist within the DMA, or on the Game Commission’s list of approved processors and taxidermists. Dumpsters also have been set up on game lands within DMAs, and hunters who do their own processing can drop off high-risk parts there before transporting the meat and other low-risk parts outside of the DMA. The feeding of deer and use of urine-based deer attractants are among the other practices prohibited within DMAs. A complete list is available at the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc. state.pa.us. CWD affects members of the cervid, or deer family. It is spread from animal to animal by direct and indirect contact. Pennsylvania is among 22 states and two Canadian provinces in which CWD has been detected. CWD is always fatal to the cervids it infects, but there is no evidence the disease can be transmitted to humans. More information on CWD can be found at the Game Commission’s website.

Revival Services Sept. 7-12 I invite you to attend our revival services with the Jimmy J. Millikin Evangelistic and Musical Family of Claremore, OK, September 7-12. Meetings will be held at 10:45 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, and at 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Evangelist Jimmy Millikin preaches anointed Bible-centered gospel messages like his message in a previous meeting on “Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things” (Matthew 6:32). While emphasizing that God knows our distinct personal needs, he told of a man who attended their meetings in Ohio who had been recently saved and delivered out of a life of sin and drugs. While reading his Bible he came across the account of Jesus healing the leper, and he prayed, “Lord, I am like this leper. I’ve lost my family and everything because of sin and drugs. I would sure like to know more about this leper. Would you have Jimmy preach about that leper tonight?” That night the Lord led Jimmy to preach on the leper! As he explained how leprosy is a type of sin that destroys one’s life, tears streamed down the man’s face in realization that God cared enough for him to answer his prayer! Jimmy and his wife, Shauna, minister through inspirational combinations of spiritually refreshing gospel duets. Our congregation is praying that the Lord will use the Millikin family to be a blessing to all who attend. These revival services will also have inspiring and melodious organ and piano music, lively and uplifting congregational singing of the hymns of the faith, joyful worship and praise to God, prayer for healing of the sick and needy, and life-changing times of earnest prayer at the altar in the awesome presence of Jesus Christ. Jimmy and Shauna’s greatest joy is to be used of God to win souls to Him. I urge you to come and bring with you those who need to know Jesus as their Savior.

News Sermonette Bob Hampton
Faith Family Fellowship, Upper Nazareth Township
Our God Rains and Reigns Jesus promised to build His universal Church in this era. But He never offered the same pledge to individual local churches. Faith Family Fellowship traversed the birth canal on May 5th, 2013, after having been conceived on March 23rd. On this evening, 27 friends had gathered to probe the matter of God's will for us collectively. The "E.F. Hutton" of our group, in his quiet and unassuming voice, spoke for 2 minutes. In the middle of his monologue, he said something after this order: "Jesus was born in a barn; so we could worship Him in a barn." He climaxed his wisdom with these words: "God would like nothing more than for us to be united with Him and with each other." Ray then folded his hands, closed his eyes and "united with Him" - literally. You read that right. Our group heard - and saw - the very unambiguous Hand of God. Accordingly, we would "unite with each other". Fast forward now 14 months. Though our "doors have been open" for just over year, we don't have our own church facility for doors to actually open. We thought we had a permanent home-of-our-own when Jehovah Church on Bushkill Center Rd. in Nazareth became available for purchase and every signal from God pointed in its direction; not the least of which, it was in the center of the geographical area we "knew" God wanted us to settle. Then God rained on our celebration parade. "Don't lose faith, folks", I said to our church family, "It only means God has something better for us!" Then another facility became available. But this one could only provide a temporary fix as it was a rental. But except for this less-than-best, in other ways it proved better, with even more Divine signals lighting up the pathway to its usage. Then God rained on that parade too. More discouragement. But I reiterated: "Don't lose faith. God has something better!" Then the "perfect" facility became available. Are you ready for this? "A barn" just like our E.F. Hutton ordered. So can you picture the cloud of despondency that gathered over us when God rained down on us again? Did I mention that from the beginning of our ministry, I had asked our people to pray for a miracle? No, I didn't; but yes I had. On June 28th, I received the most unexpected phone call of my life. An anonymous benefactor representing Jehovah Church was on the other end of the line - you remember, the first and permanent home we pursued? They shared with me that God had directed them just the night before to take this property off the market and offer it to us at a drastically reduced asking price. The price now being offered was the same price we all get to pay for Jesus' offer of salvation: ABSOLUTELY FREE!! "God did something better!" - a miracle! Not only has He universally offered to everyone who believes His gift of salvation, but for us locally at Faith Family Fellowship, He has opened up a real set of church doors! His rain is over, but His Reign is over-the-top! Northampton. 610-262-8666 Sun. - Worship 9:30 a.m. 9/21- Harvest Home ST. JOHN’S U.C.C.

Luau Held at Northampton Senior Center Submitted by KRISTA AMBROSINO
Pictured clockwise from top left: the greeters - Helen Feichtl and Joni Godshalk, Thelma Steck, and the Yummies supplied by all.
The members of the Northampton Senior Center know how to celebrate the end of summer. That was demonstrated with a Luau that was held on Wednesday, August 20. Greeters met guests at the door, Hawaiian music was heard and the Tiki bar was open. Colorful outfits abound, including the traditional grass skirts, coconut and shell tops. The “Sing for America” girls provided entertainment. They performed Hawaiian style, with a bit of hula swaying to keep everyone in motion. With the Dog Days of Summer still on the calendar, a few more celebratory events are still to come at the center. Dog races are planned, as well as a yummy hot dog roast with ice cream sundaes. Area adults 60+ are welcome to join the fun. Contact Krista at 610-262-4977 for more information or with questions.

Walk for Literacy
Submitted by HEATHER TURNER The Learning Experience® (TLE®), the nation’s fastest growing early learning academy, in Nazareth, hosted a ‘Walk for Literacy’ last week to benefit Cops ‘n’ Kids, a local non-profit organization aimed at promoting literacy amongst children in need. The school raised $671. Children at TLE® Nazareth event walked 20 laps around the Center – which is roughly 10,000 square feet in size – raising money for each completed lap to give to children who do not have access to reading materials. The event was part of the academy’s first-in-the-nation philanthropy curriculum at the preschool level. Students are taught how philanthropy’s core tenets of selflessness, generosity and giving can be applied to the classroom, home life, and community for years to come.
