Bath Bowling League Returns,

A two-vehicle fatal motor vehicle crash that occurred on Tuesday, Aug. 27, on Hecktown Road in Lower Nazareth Township, is currently under investigation by the state police.

At approximately 10:26 a.m., a Colonial Regional police officer, who was operating a marked patrol vehicle on State Route 191, observed a 2018 Mercedes-Benz, traveling on State Route 191, commit a summary traffic violation. The officer observed the MercedesBenz turn onto Hecktown Road and began traveling at a high rate of speed.

In the area of 4170 Heck -

town Rd., the operator of the Mercedes-Benz lost control and struck a 2017 Kia Sportage, head on, that was traveling in the opposite lane of travel.

Officers from both the Colonial Regional Police Department and Bethlehem Township Police Department immediately began to provide medical assistance to those involved in the crash.

The operator of the Mercedes-Benz was identified as 27-year-old Daneiris Abreu, of the Bronx, NY. The passenger of the Mercedes-Benz was a male. Both were transported from the scene to St. Luke’s Anderson Hospital.

The deceased was identified as 67-year-old Susan Henderson, of Norristown. Henderson was pronounced deceased at St. Luke’s Anderson Hospital. Northampton County Coroner determined the cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries and the manner of death homicide.

Through investigation, it was determined that Abreu's New York license is currently suspended, and the registration on the Mercedes-Benz was expired and also supposed to be on a different vehicle. Abreu also had no proof of insurance.

During their Aug. 27 meeting, Allen Township Supervisors warned residents that this year’s Election Day may bring busy traffic and lines. The presidential election always brings out more voters than local elections or primaries, and this election marks a new polling place for residents.

Allen Township’s polling location will be at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church at 1335 Old Carriage Rd. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.

It is predicted that the Howertown Road Bridge will be reopened by this time, meaning traffic will be approaching the church from Howertown Road.

Supervisors worried that exiting traffic could pose dangers as drivers attempt to turn left toward Howertown.

To help facilitate safer traffic flows, Supervisors discussed potentially placing guidance signage around the polling location. Because Election Day is on a work day, it will be difficult to employ fire police volunteers during the 13-hour stretch.

Supervisors also warned residents that lines could be long come Election Day. They encouraged residents to vote by mail if able, or carpool to limit traffic and parking issues.

In other news, Supervisors released two security reductions for the High Meadow subdivision development. Phase One’s release was for $315,171.62 and

Phase 2 was for $12,708.01. Supervisors also approved a sound system quote for the new municipal building. This new, integrated sound system will be installed by resident Bob Bysher, who has helped the township with video and audio needs in the past. The quote for the equipment and installation is $11,847.42. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be Tuesday, Sept. 10. Supervisors intend to discuss the 2025 budget during this meeting.

Perspectives

For the healthMinded individual ‘Foodborn’ Illness

You are perhaps already aware that foodborne illness is typically caused by consuming con -

taminated food or beverages.

You may also be aware that there are different types of illness based upon which microbe or pathogen contaminants it all. The result, of course, being a gut-wrenching sickness that nobody in their right mind would ever want to experience. Clearly, we have standards, regulations and laws in place to help circumvent these potentially devastating diseases into our food and beverage sources. While we do not and would

Early Stage Dementia Support Group

never accept microbes and pathogens in our day-today food and beverages, why in the world are we allowing contaminates, pesticides, chemicals and plastics? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the true definition of a “foodborn” illness. Notice I dropped the “e” there.

“Foodborn” illness, not foodborne illness, is destroying our human bodies and our planet. The scientifically concocted frankenfood is destroying the human biome, sip by sip and bite by bite. Furthermore, the way industrialized food is bringing it all to market is wreaking havoc on Mother Earth.

I heard recently that we all consume about a credit card worth of plastics a week. I was astonished. Between the food we eat, the water we drink, our topicals, sprays, cleaners and even the air we breathe, these microplastic particles are all being ingested and absorbed. If a continual onslaught of toxic plastics doesn’t create illness, I don’t know what does!

ing later years as senior citizens, does it not?

Even as you read this, a wellknown apple juice manufacturer is recalling its product, as the arsenic levels are too high. How much arsenic is actually tolerable for a baby or child? Have we lost our minds?

Our farm-raised meats, fowl and fish are grain-fed and injected with hormones. That means you are also grained up and those hormones are flowing inside you as we speak. Our fruit and vegetables are sprayed with toxins and poisons. Know what that means? You got it: right now those cancer-causing toxins and poisons are inside us as we speak. Even the seeds from whence all are grown are genetically modified by scientists. I do not see a good end to all of this, do you?

Is it too much of a stretch to theorize that our children, the next generation(s), are going to be sicker than ever before because of this fiasco? Mostly vanished are the unadulterated food and beverage sources that we all grew up with. Children today are born into a time when food is making us less healthy instead of enhancing health. This sets them up for challeng -

Even while making good choices and being intentional, the barrage from all else that our bodies handle is mind boggling. How can the human body defend itself anymore?

The answer is, I don’t think it can do so like it used to and it’s taking a toll. I guess time will tell, yet that doesn’t feel like a good plan to me.

This week’s article sounds hopeless, doesn’t it? I didn’t mean for it to come out this way, yet the hard truth of the matter is unfolding before us.

Real, wholesome food can literally fix much of the pain and suffering that afflicts us: joint pain, body pain, gut issues, mental concerns, reverse diabetes, normalized blood pressure, immune system defense improvement and so much more. When did we forget this?

More drugs are not the answer. The answer is real, Godmade food the way it was intended. We have to find a way back to that or we will continue to suffer with our self-induced, “foodborn” illness.

Stream restoration of Monocacy Creek begins Along Archibald Johnston Conservation Area

by

Northampton County and Wildlands Conservancy commenced the restoration of approximately one-half mile of the Monocacy Creek as it flows through the Archibald Johnston Conservation Area (AJCA) in Bethlehem Township and the City of Bethlehem. This effort involves removing a series of dams and other aging structures that are obstructing the natural flow of the stream and contributing to its impairment. The project also includes streambank restoration, fish habitat improvements and nearly three quarters of a mile of trail rehabilitation.

AJCA protects more than 56 acres of open space, which is

adjacent to another 100 acres of preserved lands. The Monocacy Creek, a tributary to the Lehigh River, is designated as a HighQuality Cold Water and migratory fishery by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The local waterway contains naturally reproducing trout populations and seeps and springs that contribute to the water quality.

"The Monocacy Creek is a community treasure, and while it holds this state designation, the section that flows through Archibald Johnston is being significantly degraded by the old dams, access bridges and crossing areas that were built long ago, long before water quality, habitat conservation and com -

prehensive watershed management planning were local priorities," said Northampton County Executive Lamont G. McClure.

"Given their demonstrated stream restoration expertise, the county is extremely grateful to partner with Wildlands Conservancy to help advance the health of the Monocacy."

"This is the first step in improving the environmental and recreational opportunities within AJCA. Although this is a small part of Monocacy Creek, it is very important to continue to provide accessible trails to the creek and improve the overall diversity and habitat that the creek supports," said Bryan S. Cope, superintendent of Parks and Recreation.

The full scope of work, beyond the dam and structure re -

movals taking place this year, includes stabilizing streambanks with native shrubs, trees and wildflowers to establish riparian buffer zones that prevent erosion, provide shade and support vital habitat for pollinators and the insect populations needed for native trout to thrive. Community volunteers will help the riparian zones take root during plantings, planned to take place this fall and next year.

Invasive species management is also part of the scope, and instream habitat structures will be installed to help change the stream's flow, encouraging spawning and foraging for life in the stream. These enhancements will continue to provide more critical habitat improvements that will lead to better water quality throughout Monocacy

Creek.

"We are really looking forward to the future of the Monocacy Creek in this unique, natural area. We're putting the best science and stream management practices to work to address impairments to the High Quality fishery, while making this outdoor space both safe and functional for the residents of Northampton County," said Kristie Fach, Wildland Conservancy's director of ecological restoration. "Together with our partners and supporters, I'm really grateful that this project will serve locally as a model for similar, future efforts."

Project Supporters and Partners

Funding support for this Monocacy Creek stream restoration project is provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Growing Greener, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund and Northampton County's Livable Landscapes. Local conservation groups, including the Monocacy Creek Watershed Association and Monocacy Creek Trout Unlimited, are valuable project partners in advancing this conservation effort.

About Archibald Johnston Conservation Area

Archibald Johnston Conservation Area is a 56-acre wooded stream corridor along Monocacy Creek, within the City of Bethlehem and Bethlehem Township, that serves as open space and a conservation buffer along the stream. Archibald Johnston serves as an outdoor classroom for local school groups and is only open to the public by permit. AJCA adjoins an additional 100 acres of preserved land that encompass the Janet Johnston Housenick and William D. Housenick Memorial Park and Camels Hump Farm.

Residents should be Aware of text messaging Scam targeting voters

The Northampton County Elections Office has received several reports of county voters receiving text messages from “AllVote.com” stating that there is an issue with their voter registration status.

The Pennsylvania Department of State reports that this is a scam, and voters should be more cautious as we get closer to the Nov. 5 election, as other bad actors may attempt to send similar phishing emails/texts.

ANIMAL PAIN AWARENESS MONTH

For accurate and official election information, please rely solely on the County Election Office and the Pennsylvania Department of State as your primary source.

Voter registration can be verified at www.pa.gov/en/agencies/ vote.html.

Poll workers Needed for Upcoming Election

The Northampton County Elections Office continues to actively recruit registered voters residing in the county to serve in poll worker positions for the upcoming general election on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Poll workers play a crucial role in facilitating elections in Northampton County. Their responsibilities include checking in voters at polling locations and setting them up with a ballot. After the polls close, poll workers are responsible for delivering returns to county election officials. Their dedication ensures that our elections are fair, accurate and legal.

New poll workers are provided training prior to the general election and paid for their training time and work on Election Day. Northampton County poll workers may earn between $175 and $200 for serving all of Election Day, depending on the poll worker’s assignments and training. Typical Election Day hours are from 6 a.m. until after the polls close at 8 p.m. Individuals who bring supplies back to the Government Center receive additional compensation and mileage.

Registered voters interested in becoming poll workers in their community can email the Northampton County Elections Office at election@norcopa.gov or call 610-829-6260.

The PA Election Code also permits high school students 17 years of age to serve at the polls in specific capacities. Any 17-year-old high school student interested should contact the elections office.

Our democracy increases in strength the more we all participate.

Pennsylvania Hunters

Break another Venison Donation

Record during 2023-24 season

Submitted by RANDY FERGUSON

Generous Pennsylvania hunters once again broke a record for venison donations through Hunters Sharing the Harvest (HSH) with 261,672 pounds of venison donated from 6,905 deer and six elk statewide during the 2023-24 hunting seasons.

“Each year we wonder if we’ll come close to the previous year’s numbers and each year Penn-

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR ADVERTISERS!

sylvania hunters remind us that they’re just getting started,” said Executive Director of HSH, Randy Ferguson. “Awareness of our mission continues to grow. Hunters are leading the charge with their increasing deer donations. But there’s a whole village of participating processors, financial supporters and volunteers who make sure we’re able to feed more hungry Pennsylvanians every year.”

Based on the American Heart Association’s recommended serving size of three ounces of lean red meat per serving, the 261,672 pounds of venison donated during the 2023-24 hunting season provided more than 1.3 million servings of lean, high protein venison to the food insecure in Pennsylvania.

“We're once again excited to have reached an incredible new milestone,” said Bill Sordoni, chairman of the HSH board of directors. “Our leadership, volunteers and sponsors have all come together to support this vitally important program and we believe the impact of the HSH mission will continue to grow in the years to come.”

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has been a key supporting partner with HSH for many years, providing an annual allocation of state and federal hunger relief funds to help HSH defray the costs associated with reimbursing participating processors for their services.

“The generous donations of hunters stretch the dollars of cash-strapped families as well as the nonprofit network running food pantries across the state,” Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said. “The work of Hunters Sharing the Harvest stretches the state and federal dollars that support our chari-

table food system. We are proud to invest in feeding Pennsylvania families and in our nonprofit partners who work diligently to provide protein-rich meals to families in need.”

Pennsylvania deer hunters can harvest several deer in a year, thanks to the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s deer herd management objectives and accompanying antlerless tag allocation. HSH provides an opportunity for hunters who might

typically only harvest one or two deer for their family’s consumption to fill more tags, donating additional deer as a social service to help those struggling with food insecurity in their community.

“While hunters invest considerable time and effort into every deer harvest, their generous donation of hard-earned venison through Hunters Sharing the Harvest shows they’re invested in the wellbeing of their fellow

Pennsylvanians, as well,” said Steve Smith, executive director of the Pennsylvania Game Commission. “Year after year, as donation totals consistently climb, I stand in awe of hunters’ amazing support of the program and am proud of their contribution and what it represents.”

The HSH program is a coordinated effort of more than 100

Pennsylvania Hunters

participating deer processors who accept donated deer from hunters and process the deer into packages of ground venison for distribution to regional food banks and hunger relief agencies.

“We know that many agency partners throughout our network have come to rely on nutrient-dense venison donations to help feed their communities,” explained Julie Bancroft, CEO of Feeding Pennsylvania. “Feeding PA is grateful for the ongoing relationship with Hunters Sharing the Harvest, which provides more than a million servings of needed protein to food-insecure families across Pennsylvania annually.”

Since 1991, HSH has de-

livered 2.5 million pounds of hunter-donated venison, providing over 13 million servings to hungry Pennsylvanians.

Hunters interested in donating a deer need only to legally harvest, tag and field dress the deer and take it to a participating processor near them. The list of participating processors by county can be found at https:// sharedeer.org/meat-processors/.

HSH seeks additional participating processors to augment its efforts in counties throughout Pennsylvania. Participating processors are reimbursed for their services and are the cornerstone of the HSH mission.

A volunteer force of nearly 60 county coordinators ensures that processors have the resources they need and that the public is aware of the program and the ways they can support the HSH mission. Those interested in being a coordinator are encouraged to visit https://sharedeer. org/get-involved/.

Businesses wishing to support the mission of Hunters Sharing the Harvest are encouraged to become a sponsor. HSH offers multiple levels of sponsorship to fit any organization’s budget. These supporting sponsors are a crucial source of operational support for the organization. Potential business sponsors should contact Ferguson at 866474-2141 or emailing him at randy@sharedeer.org

Individuals can support Hunters Sharing the Harvest with a monetary donation of any amount online at https:// sharedeer.org/support-our-mis -

Greater Easton Development Partnership Secures

$100,000 Grant from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts

The Greater Easton Development Partnership (GEDP) is thrilled to announce that Easton has been selected as one of six Pennsylvania communities to receive funding from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) as part of its Creative Communities Initiative (CCI). The $100,000 grant, to be distributed over four years, will support the continued expansion of Easton’s public art program, reinforcing the city’s standing as a hub for creativity, culture, and communitydriven revitalization.

As Easton continues its resurgence from 20th century urban “renewal” to a vibrant arts and culture destination, this funding will enable GEDP to build on its successful Easton Murals program, which has already helped transform the city's downtown and surrounding neighborhoods with captivating public art projects. The initiative will also focus on expanding public art into the West Ward, a diverse neighborhood where art will serve as a catalyst for both youth engagement and broader community development.

Launched in 2012, as a collaborative partnership with Chaz Hampton and Tom D’Angelo of Brick & Mortar Gallery, the Easton Murals program has installed murals that not only beautify the city but also engage the community. From large-scale works by nationally acclaimed artists to murals created by local high school students, these projects have fostered community pride and engagement, turning Easton’s walls into canvases that add to the city’s rich cultural tapestry.

"Public art has the power to connect us, inspire us, and drive economic and social change," said Jared Mast, exec -

Directions

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Ingredients CINNAMON APPLES

1/2 cup chopped apple, about 1/2 a large apple

1 teaspoon maple syrup

Pinch of cinnamon

OVERNIGHT OATS

1/2 cup old fashioned oats

1/2 -3/4 cup choice of milk

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt

2 teaspoons maple syrup, honey or your favorite sweetener

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or apple pie spice

Toppings: cinnamon apples, nut butter, chopped nuts, chia or hemp seeds

1. Prep cinnamon apples: Add chopped apple pieces, maple syrup and cinnamon in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir together to coat apples. Heat for 30 to 60 seconds, until apples have softened a bit and look similar to baked apples. Let cool and reserve 1/4 cup of the apples to use as a topping.

2. Mix remaining ingredients: Add oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon into a dish with a lid (a mason jar works great).

3. Stir in apples: Add 1/4 cup of the cinnamon apples to the oat mixture and stir. Place lid on jar and shake to combine a bit more.

4. Refrigerate: Place in the fridge overnight (or just 30-60 minutes if you’re making these the morning of).

5. Serve: Remove lid from jar, add more yogurt or milk if the mixture seems too thick. Top with extra 1/4 cup apples and your favorite overnight oat toppings like nut butter or chopped nuts.

utive director of GEDP. "With this generous support from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, we are poised to continue our work in making Easton a place where art and community intersect in meaningful ways. This grant will allow us to not only expand our mural program but also to deepen our engagement with the residents of Easton around art.”

The Easton Murals program is aligned with the city’s comprehensive and the West Ward Neighborhood Plan. It is also an integral part of GEDP and Easton Main Street Initiative's broader economic development strategy, which emphasizes the importance of design and public art in fostering community revitalization.

In addition to funding new murals, GEDP will explore new opportunities for creative expression, including the installation of crosswalk murals and other public art projects that enhance the connectivity and aesthetic appeal of the city’s streetscapes. As Easton’s various public art initiatives grow, GEDP is committed to leveraging this momentum to support artists, attract visitors and contribute to Easton’s growing reputation as an arts destination in Pennsylvania.

Recovering From Mistakes

As careful as you may be, you will make mistakes. Although it’s not possible to live mistake free, there are effective strategies you can use to recover from your mistakes.

Let’s start by considering basic causes of mistakes. You are impatient and act too quickly. You lack knowledge or expertise. You don’t have enough information to make a sound decision. You make a decision based on wrong information. Regardless of the cause, you need to recover from your mistakes. Once you have recovered, you can identify and address the cause.

The difference between making a mistake and failing is your response. Successful people use mistakes as a stepping stone to future achievements. Those who

give up transform a mistake into a guaranteed failure. Mistakes are fixed through corrective action. Doing nothing exacerbates the mistake, making it harder to repair. But before a mistake can be fixed it must be recognized. Denying that a mistake has been made prevents you from repairing it. Taking responsibility for your mistakes is the first step to moving forward to success.

When a mistake has been made, you have to find answers to four important questions. What happened? Why did it happen? What did you learn? What can you do to prevent it from happening again? Accurate and honest answers to these questions are invaluable.

When a mistake happens, stay composed. You need a calm mind in order to accurately assess your options and decide what step to take next. Stress inhibits your ability for sound reasoning.

Sept. 6 from 4-9 pm Saturday, Sept. 7 from 9 am to 6 pm Raffle tickets $5/sheet or 3 sheets for $10 Specialty prizes $10/sheet

Don’t get stuck lamenting your mistake. You won’t feel good about what happened but you can’t change the past. Pick yourself up and start moving forward. After a mistake has been made, the first priority is dealing with the immediate consequences and limiting damage. For example, when a sailor’s boat is damaged

in a storm, leaks must be plugged immediately before any other repairs are made. Recovering from mistakes requires an open mind and flexibility. You have to take a step back so that you can keep things in perspective while looking at the big picture. Make a list of all possible strategies. Then go through your list and prioritize. Be willing to change direction if needed. If you don’t know what you should do next, seek out those who have successfully recovered from similar mistakes. People who have not had this experience may provide you with faulty advice.

Keep a positive, can-do at-

titude. If you tell your mind there’s no hope, there is virtually no chance for you to recover from your mistake. The right mindset is essential for you to move forward successfully.

Once you have determined the appropriate course of action, take action. Nothing happens until you do something. Wishing and hoping alone are ineffective. Your first priority is to limit further damages or negative consequences. Your second priority is to repair any damage that has already occurred.

Sunday, Sept. 8

of even your worst mistakes fades with time. Study other successful people and analyze what they do to recover from their mistakes.

Here’s how you recover from mistakes in a nutshell. Recognize when you make a mistake. Take responsibility for the mistake. Immediately take action to limit additional damage. Repair any

damage that has occurred. Make changes to prevent the same mistake from recurring. Mistakes are part of life but you can recover from them.

Once things are under control, you’ll have time to determine what went wrong and why. You certainly don’t want to repeat the same mistake. The only way to avoid this is through a thorough understanding of the root cause along with a determination to make any necessary changes.

Don’t get disheartened by your mistakes. They are an excellent learning opportunity. The sting
