School Progress Update and Borough Employee Honored

by JANA BOSKEY

At last Thursday’s council meeting the superintendent of the Northampton School District, Joseph Kovalchik, presented a slide show showing the progress of the new middle school currently under construction. There are two phases to the middle school project; the first began in April 2013 with the beginning of construction. Over the course of a year the workers have already made leaps and bounds, with almost the entirety of the base structure completed. They have started putting up the bricks that will decorate the outside of the school. The new middle school will have an “amazing” media room, modern science labs, and

classrooms measuring 850 square feet that total 272,000 square feet in three stories. Along with showing construction progress, Kovalchik went so far as to explain the history of the land with the help of Councilman Ed Pany, who also serves as curator of the Atlas Cement Museum. Pany has recently taken a tour of the new building. The original occupant of the land where the new middle school is being built was the Atlas Portland Cement Company. Atlas Portland was one of the preeminent cement producers of its day, contributing to the Panama Canal, Empire State Building and the Hoover Dam. Pany, whose fa-

The driver’s fuel tank ruptured, igniting a fire inside the vehicle. The driver showed signs of alcohol impairment and was taken to the hospital for medical treatment and blood testing.

Criminal Mischief

Sometime between August 3 and August 5, hooligan(s) damaged a 2003 Chrysler Sebring with an unknown object, damaging the paint on the hood. Please contact State Police at 610-861-2026 with any information.

The Northampton County Chiefs of Police Association will be presenting the Nathan Ogden Award at their September 3 meeting. The meeting will be at 12:00 at the Northampton County Communications Center on Gracedale Avenue in Upper Nazareth Township. District Attorney John Mor-

ganelli will also be presenting the Association with a check to purchase a burn barrel to dispose of unwanted medication and confiscated drugs. Since 2002, The Northampton County Chiefs of Police Association instituted the Nathan Ogden Award Program to recognize individuals who distinguish themselves through exemplary service and devotion to law enforcement. The award is named after the first known law enforcement officer to give his life for his community in America. Deputy Sheriff Nathan Ogden, of the Northampton County Sheriff’s Department was killed in the line of duty while trying to execute an arrest warrant on January 20, 1771. Consistent with the Northampton County Chiefs of Police Association mission, this program seeks “to generate increased public sup-

port and awareness by commemorating the service and sacrifice to the law enforcement profession.” Although a single heroic incident may be worthy of consideration, special consideration is given to those nominees who have distinguished themselves and their profession throughout their careers. The award is donated by Bill Hillanbrand. Eligibility Criteria For the purpose of this program, any individual involved in law enforcement, who is directly employed or contracted for, on a full time or part time basis by a municipal, county, state or federal law enforcement agency within Northampton County, with or without compensation. Nominees may include an individual, or multiple individuals, provided that the officers being nominated worked in partnership or as a team.

EAST ALLEN LAND ACQUISITION WILL USE NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS by JOE KORBA

During the East Allen Township Board of Supervisor’s meeting last Thursday a letter that was sent to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources requesting an agricultural land acquisition was discussed. The request to continue farming until December 31, 2015 was sent on July 30 and approved prior to the meeting. The land acquisition will require no taxpayer contribution and is being funded with money from a DCNR grant. The grant is considered as being for recreation and includes developer escrow monies. Chuck Frantz, East Allen recreation director, also discussed his department. Frantz said that summer

camp was very successful this year with over 135 kids daily. “The counselors did an outstanding job,” Frantz said. The next parks and recreation meeting will be held on September 3.

The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners will consider the recommendation at its regular meeting to be held Sept. 22 and 23 in Delmont, Pa. The board is scheduled to hear public comment at the meeting, limited to five minutes per person, beginning at 8:30 a.m. If a vote is taken, it would occur on Sept. 23.

NEW TRAFFIC PATTERNS NOT AN ISSUE AT NORTHAMPTON AREA SD By Alice Wanamaker

Northampton Area School District Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik took time at the School Board meeting Monday night to recognize the students and administrators at all district schools, particularly the secondary campus, for a great first day back to classes. Classes began for the 2014-2015 school year on Monday August 25, and amidst new traffic patterns at the high school and middle school, students found their way to class on time. “It was a great first day for our staff,” Kovalchik said as he addressed the school board and audience. Kovalchik said that all buses and cars were cleared from the front lot by 7:23 a.m., four minutes ahead of the official start to the school day at 7:27 a.m. Nearly 5,500 students went back to school in Northampton Area School District on Monday. Kovalchik visited most of the schools on the first day back and said he would be sure to get out to Lehigh on Tuesday.

As students filled the hallways, work continued at the middle school construction site. It was reported that 60 laborers and masons are on site to keep the project on task and on time. Recent work includes steel beams, straight and curved, being installed with the roof installation on the horizon. The school board is planning to visit the middle school site on October 27, prior to the scheduled board meeting. Superintendent Kovalchik encouraged Board members, administration and audience members to attend upcoming sporting events at the district including the first varsity football game of the season, which will take place this Saturday at 7 p.m. at Nazareth’s’ Andrew S. Leh Stadium. The Konkrete Kids will take on the Canaries from William Allen High School. Attendees are encouraged to wear black for the “Black Out” theme. The next school board meeting is September 8 at 6:30 p.m.

Northampton Area School District introduced a new system to the District that will help protect the students at all district buildings. The new system is called Raptor. Raptor helps track visitors, temporary employees, contractors, and volunteers at the schools and provides a safer more monitored environment for students. This program is designed to help school administrators maintain positive identification of all visitors and to identify those individuals who are listed as Registered Sexual Offenders (RSO) and those with restraining orders who might desire to enter one of the schools. The following visitors will be required to scan their driver's license or State ID: ·Volunteers ·Individuals attending meetings while classes are in session ·All contracted workers ·Guest Readers ·Any visitors proceeding past the school office while classes are in session The above visitors will only have to scan their ID one time. You will not have to scan your ID every time you enter a District school building. The data scanned into the system will be stored in a secured site and is exclusively for the use of the District and law enforcement officials. This information is not sold or shared with any outside sources. A badge will be printed for you that must be displayed while you are in the school building. If you are picking up your child or dropping something off at a school office, you will need to show a valid form of identification to the secretary/ attendant on duty, but you will not need to scan. We will work with parents and guardians who do not currently have these forms of ID. Please contact the school where your child attends if you have any questions. Your cooperation is appreciated as the district strives to keep all students safe.

9 THE HOME NEWS Aug. 28-Sept. 3, 2014

To the Northampton Class of 1964 To my fellows (class of ’64) I ask, of these fifty years and more, with what passions were you sustained, with what fashion were your gains, and most satisfying your rewards? What life long lessons have you learned, with what fulfillment were you years, with what blend of conscience your dream, have the ends justified your means without regret of bridges burned? As mentors, now, and gone the course, what better guidance of vintage source might we to tender youth bequeath, than always seek truth, love, and peace? Yours Truly Forevermore, Alumnus (class of ’64) C.E. McIlhaney Jr.

Elements of Genuine Revival Evangelist Billy Graham was once asked about revival. He replied, “When revival comes, I expect to see two things which we have not seen yet. First, a new sense of the holiness of God on the part of Christians; and second, a new sense of the sinfulness of sin on the part of Christians.” These two elements of genuine revival are sadly lacking in the American church today! Instead, false concepts have been popularized excluding these biblical truths! The prophet Isaiah experienced these elements of genuine revival when he saw the Lord in awesome majesty in Isaiah 6. He heard the seraphims crying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts” and sensed the “holiness of God.” Then he became aware of his own “sinfulness of sin” and cried out, “Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips.” Daniel referred to these elements of genuine revival in his intercessory prayer in which he repeatedly recognized God’s unchanging righteousness and acknowledged to God that the people of Israel “have sinned against thee.” Then he based his appeal for Divine forgiveness on God’s mercy and for His sake, “To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses…O Lord, forgive…for thine own sake” (Daniel 9:3-19). It is prayer like this that recognizes the “holiness of God” and confesses the “sinfulness of sin” that moves God’s heart to forgive the sin and send revival! NOTE: I invite you to our coming revival services with Evangelist Jimmy Millikin and family, September 7-12, Sunday at 10:45 a.m. and 6 p.m. and Monday through Friday at 7:30 p.m. Evangelist Millikin will be emphasizing God’s holiness and man's need to repent and turn from sin by seeking Christ’s mercy and forgiveness! Jimmy Millikin’s lively messages are anointed of the Holy Spirit, solidly biblical, and bathed in prayer! Please plan to come and bring others with you.

“An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. ‘You’ve got so many freckles, there’s no place to paint!’ a girl in the line said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him ‘I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles’, she said, while tracing her finger across the child’s cheek. ‘Freckles are beautiful!’ The boy looked up, ‘Really?’ ‘Of course,’ said the grandmother. ‘Why, just name me one thing that’s prettier than freckles.’ The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma’s face, and softly whispered, ‘Wrinkles.’” To be loved and appreciated just as we are is one of the greatest joys of a life. This story reminded me of a special Sunday school teacher who loved and cared for us just as we were. While others tried to help us change by telling us how we could behave better or dress more appropriately, this teacher always found something to compliment. As a result, we tended to do our best to act and dress in a way that pleased her, and she never failed to notice the change and thank us. Someone once said that God loves us just as we are, but loves us too much to want us to stay that way. Once we recognize Jesus’ love for us, the natural reaction is to want to live more like he would want us to live, not because we have to, but simply because we want to. May God’s unconditional love surround you today! Pastor Barry Mitchell
