Son kills couple Who were former Bushkill residents A former Bushkill Township couple residing in South Carolina were shot and killed on Sunday, April 7. Their son has been arrested as a suspect in the killing. Richard F. and Ruth M. Mahorsky were found shot to death at their home in Blair, S.C., where they have lived the past 30 years. Previously, they resided on W. Beil Ave. just outside Nazareth Borough. Their 40-year-old son, Matthew, is being held in the Fairfield County Detention Center on two counts of murder and possession of a firearm during a violent crime. The deaths were discovered by Fairfield County authorities after Mrs. Mahorsky did not show up for work at a Winnsboro bank. The bodies were found on the driveway of their home, and it was determined they had died Sunday afternoon. The couple moved to South Carolina in 1987 when Mr.
Mahorsky was transferred to the Mack Trucks plant in Winnsboro. A son of the late Joseph J. and Mary G. Mahovsky, he retired in 2002 and spent much of his time creating yard art out of scrap metal. Mrs. Mahorsky was a native of Hellertown, daughter of the late Edward and Anna P. Unangst. They were survived by three sons, Mark of Dallas, Texas, Matthew of Blair, S.C., and Todd of Macungie, Pa. Mrs. Mahorsky also has one brother, Frank Unangst, and two sisters, Gloria Brunell and Terri Ziegler. Mr. Mahorsky has two brothers, Ronald and Michael Mahorsky. They are also survived by two grandchildren. A memorial service was held on Sunday, April 14 in St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Winnsboro, with arrangements by the Pope Funeral Home.

Lehigh Elementary School might Be getting 7,000-panel solar array Based on a state Commonwealth Court decision, the Northampton Area School District could now proceed to have a four-acre, 7,000-panel solar array on the grounds of Lehigh Elementary School. Last week, the court ruled that Lehigh Township’s zoning officer overstepped her
authority by considering whether solar panels are a common accessory to a school building. The decision overturns a Northampton County Court ruling and orders the zoning officer to grant the school district approval for the panels previously planned in co-
ordination with MetroTek of Kunkletown. Judge Bernard McGinley said the question was already in the zoning ordinance as a permitted accessory use. Atty. Blake Marles for the school district believes that Continued on page 18
Nazareth Council to air closing of swim pool Nazareth Borough Council at its May 2 workshop meeting will discuss the proposed closing of the borough park swimming pool this summer, because of the pool’s deterioration, mainly the filtration system. The pool was scheduled to open on May 25 for
the Memorial Day weekend holiday. It was constructed in the 1930’s by the W.P.A., an agency that grew out of the great Depression. Council President Dan Chiavaroli will discuss the reasons for its closing at the workshop with property committee

(NAPS)—Many families may be relieved to learn about a new opportunity to try to stem the tide of autism. The Situation The rate of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has reached epidemic proportions, impacting one in 88, up from one in 110 just a short time ago, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.* That figure jumps to one in 54 for boys. Seeking A Solution Because of this, Cord Blood Registry® (CBR®), the world’s largest newborn stem cell bank, has partnered with Sutter Neuroscience Institute and Sutter Institute for Medical Research to establish the first-of-its-kind FDA-regulated clinical trial that will assess the use of a child’s own cord blood stem cells to treat select

patients with autism. Understanding Autism Autism is thought to have multiple risk factors including genetic, environmental and immunological components. It is the leading cause of delayed development in children, typically surfacing before 3 years of age. The condition is characterized by impaired communication, repetitive thoughts and behavior and difficulty in socialization. This clinical trial will evaluate the ability of an infusion of cord blood stem cells to help improve language and behavior. To ensure quality of the cellular infusion, only families that have had Cord Blood Registry process and store their baby’s cord blood stem cells will be eligible to participate in this trial. The Doctor’s Opinion “This is the start of a new age of research in stem cell therapies for chronic diseases such as autism, and a natural step to determine whether patients receive some benefit from an infusion of their own cord blood stem cells,” said Michael Chez, M.D., director of Pediatric Neurology with Sutter Neuroscience and principal study investigator. “I will focus on a select portion of children diagnosed with autism who have no obvious cause for the condition, such as known genetic syndromes or brain injury.” Umbilical cord blood stem cells have long been used to treat
a variety of conditions including certain forms of cancer, blood diseases and immune disorders. The cord blood contains a unique population of stem cells that can be used to rebuild the blood and immune systems. “We have evidence to suggest that certain children with autism have dysfunctional immune systems that may be damaging or delaying the development of the nervous system,” said Dr. Chez. “Cord blood stem cells may offer ways to modulate or repair the immune systems of these patients, which would also improve language and some behavior in children who have no obvious reason to have become autistic.” Banking On An Answer “CBR works as a catalyst for medical researchers to advance stem cell medicine and this clinical trial is an example that sets us apart in the industry,” said Heather Brown, vice president of scientific & medical affairs at CBR. “As the largest newborn stem cell bank, we are the best equipped to match researchers with children who have access to their own cord blood stem cells as a potential therapy.” The study will enroll 30 children between the ages of 2 and 7, who meet the inclusion criteria for the study. Children with autism and their families may look forward to a brighter future due to a new way of looking for a treatment. *Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Data and Statistics, http://www.cdc.gov/ ncbddd/autism/data.html, accessed May 2012

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip A couple days of 80-plus degree weather made it feel almost like summer last week. Then we got a thunderstorm and down it went into the 50’s and 60’s. But that’s not bad, really what it should be at this time of year. Spring is here and time to enjoy the flowers, robins, and greenery that’s coming along with leaves and grass. . . .”Spundy” Rehrig got the Chicken Little treatment the other day. No, the sky didn’t fall, but a couple ceiling tiles did, and they hit his head as he sat down to breakfast at the Town & Country. Seems workmen were putting on a new roof at the restaurant, and it shook the tiles loose. Didn’t hurt “Spundy”, but it gave him a scare. The restaurant will be closed for about three weeks beginning on the 22nd of April, as I get it, as they finish the remodeling. . .I hear Porra Neil Mumma suffered a heart attack this past week and is laid up in the hospital at Cedar Crest, Salisbury Township. Here’s wishing you a “get well soon,” Rev. Neil. . . . Americans got shocked again on Monday when they heard about two explosions at the Boston Marathon, most likely set off by some terrorists from this country or elsewhere in the world. We read of these things happening overseas in one country or another, but it hits home when it’s right here in the U.S.A. I hope they get them. . . . Congrats to Mike Zastko for the award he received recently as he was recognized for all he’s done over the years in scouting. He deserved it. . . . Income tax time has come and gone. I hope you got a refund to make you smile. . . . I see there were a couple 300 games by Bath bowlers this season. The scores are getting better than ever down at the Legion. Maybe they oughta enter the state tournament that’s coming to Bath this summer. . . . As the weather warms up, folks that run the farmers market down at the Bath park are itching to get started, during the month of May if I recollect correctly. . . . The cooks at the
Lutheran church in town just finished making pasties, and now they’re figuring to have a pork and sauerkraut supper. Keep ‘em coming, gang! I love those suppers. . . . I agree with those who say Memorial Day should be on the 30th of May. But I reckon we hafta go along with those Monday holidays. Whenever it is, we need to remember the reason for the day. . . . Sorry to see that the Nazareth swimming pool may be closing. I guess there were a lot of problems with it. Years ago, folks here in Bath wanted a pool for our residents, but it never happened. It can be a costly proposition, so it’s probably best it didn’t work out. . . . Time to do the windows, so I’ll wash my way outta here for now. Take care, and have a good week.

Annual Easter egg hunts were scheduled at the Keystone Park by the Bath Jaycees, at the E. Allen Township Volunteer Fire Company, and at the Bath American Legion Post #470. Children of Moore Township Elementary 6th grade classes made a flag measuring 8 by 13 ft. all made up of paper hands. The flag was then taken to Washington DC for President Reagan. Businessmen and farmers appeared before East Allen Township Supervisors to voice opposition against a proposed 300-unit trailer park next to Effort Foundry and L & M Machinery. The Moore Township Board of Supervisors planned to meet with the State Auditor to discuss, and possibly recommend, a way to solve the one lump payment in pension
to a former employee. The PA Dept. of Education asked for subsidy funds back from 15 schools, including NASD. PA Sen. Jeanette Reibman said legislation was being drafted to exonerate all 15 school districts. P.I.E. Trucking wanted to move into the empty Spector building on Rt.512’s Industrial Park. Bath’s Planning Commission rejected a plan for a 339 by 125 ft. U Storage development. “Bath Day” at Veterans Stadium was announced. Phillies were to play the world champion St. Louis Cardinals. 300 tickets were purchased at $7.00 each. Bus transportation was extra. A Lehigh Township man was thrown off his horse, which ran in traffic, and was hit by a truck. A veterinarian was called but the horse already died from the injuries of the accident. Gov. Wolf Historical Society made plans to install a new floor, do chimney work, and paint shutters. Later they voted to install new wooden roof shingles on the Ralston-
McKeen House. Helen Bartholomew was appointed Administrative Assistant of the First National Bank of Bath. Miss Isabelle French ran for township supervisor in the May primary election. Sermonettes were written by Rev. Victor Vogel, Jr. of Salem UCC, Rev. David Unangst of Covenant United

The impression of many is that the Masonic fraternity is a close-knit organization, secret to anyone other than the membership. But Manoquesy Lodge #413, Free & Accepted Masons in Bath is doing more than their ritualistic meetings. The latest event was a firstever for the Bath lodge. This past Thursday, April 11 they celebrated Friends & Family Night. Among the public events in which the lodge is involved was a blood drive, coming in May working at the 5K race finish line; a cigar night/picnic at Pt. Phillips Rod & Gun Blub in June; a public clambake in August; working at the tractor pull at the Plainfield Jr. Famers Fair in July; and another family night in October. More than 50 persons were on hand, including their wives, children, and friends, in a social get-together.

their guests for a program on Martin guitars, presented by George Molchany, clinician and craftsman for the worldrenowned Nazareth-based guitar business. Molchany, who joined Martin in 1990, said he never knew about the business and was laboring before that on an assembly line, joking that it was like “I Love Lucy�, in which the pies went off the conveyor belt. It was an amazing turn-about in his life when he joined Martin, he told the audience. The company had not done any advertising, he said, and since Chris Martin took over the family business, it has enjoyed tremendous growth. Their guitars have been played by such famed personalities like Willie Nelson, Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel, and Eric Clapton. Molchany said woods like cherry, walnut, spruce, maple, and Brazilian rosewood have been used to make the guitars, keeping it thin, as well as the reinforcing strips inside. Brazilian Rosewood is expensive, Molchany said, and if anyone has one made before 1969 he advised them to have it insured. “It will give your 401-K
quite a boost.� While Martin guitars can range from $300 for a baby guitar to $3,000 and $5,000, one of Brazilian Rosewood could cost $25-$30,000. Molchany entertained the audience with songs like “Dixie� of the Civil War era, “Wayfarin’ Stranger�sung by slaves who were downtrodden and sad, as he used a bottle neck to change the sound, and Elvis Presley’s “Blue Suede Shoes�. He played tunes of country blues, ragtime, bluegrass, and had his audience guessing titles of some songs. At a Pennsylvania Farm Show he has played guitar for the Farm Channel, and was surprised at how many local people saw it on TV. Presently, he’s about to do classic rock on a TV show. Molchany invited people to tour the Martin Guitar factory and museum, open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. He also noted that jobs of every level are available. About Friends & Family Night, one member of the Masonic fraternity said, “This was long overdue.� It was apparent that everyone enjoyed themselves.

Moore Elementary Hosts event to Fight childhood cancer In an effort to join the battle against childhood cancer, Moore Elementary School students and staff will host an Alex’s Lemonade Stand on Friday, April 19 from 11 a.m.1 p.m.. The students are participating in The Great Lemonade War, competing with other schools to see who can raise the most money to help end childhood cancer. Students are bringing in money to buy lemonade for 25 cents a cup during lunch. The students are also asked to wear yellow on this day to show support for kids with cancer. There will be an Alex's Lemonade Stand Ambassador coming to speak to the students on Thursday, April 18. The school has also created a website for the public to make donations to Alex's Lemonade
Stand. The page is located at: http://www.alexslemonade. org/mypage/89979. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (19962004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $60 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, fund-

Comment On Sports
BASEBALL
Major Leaguers, and about events other than the game play. TV announcers covering games like to interview top stars. Often they will continue talking to famous players of the past they’re interviewing while play is ongoing on the field. Baseball fans are interested in the game more than what a former player is saying about his career. The Major League TV network is very popular, often televising several games a day, one at about noon or one p.m., another at four and on, in the evening. West coast games can begin at nine or ten o’clock in the East, which allows many with jobs to see a game after coming home from work

Oplinger next LV Sports Hall of Fame Inductee By Joe Zemba
Jim Oplinger is already in three Hall of Fame's but being inducted into the Lehigh Valley Sports Hall of Fame will be special saying "I'll being seeing some baseball players that I haven't seen in forty years" some were teammates in legion ball and rivals during the scholastic season. "I was inducted into the Blue Mountain League Hall of Fame. I''m honored to be inducted. Thanks to my baseball friends. We go back
almost 60 years, I'll be making the trip up from Florida" Oplinger said. Oplinger was a football, basketball and baseball standout for the Northampton Konkrete Kids winning nine varsity letters there. At East Stroudsburg State Teachers College, Jim was again a three sport athlete, but swimming took the place of basketball. In football Jim was the starting quarterback. Oplinger said "I had a 102 yard interception return. I
think that record still stands" The Konkrete Kid excelled in baseball and was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1958. He played three years with the Red Birds organization. Jim was an early inductee of the Blue Mountain League Hall of Fame and was inducted into the East Stroudsburg University in 1997 and Northampton's in 2007.

with people; human aspects are important in any position.” Mr. Lungu said, “We were welcomed with open arms when we arrived in the Lehigh Valley.” I found Radu to be a humble, amiable and dedicated Essroc employee, a fine gentleman who brought a rich cultural heritage to the United States. He has been married to wife Aliana, a Lehigh University Chemical Engineer for 30 years. They are proud of daughter Ana and son Vlad, both University of Pittsburgh graduates. They reside in Lehigh Township and enjoy Northampton’s Roxy Theatre. I wish Radu and all my friends at Essroc a safe and prosperous 2013.
Cement Worker Of Month Radu Lungu Essroc, Nazareth
By ED PANY
Mr. Radu Lungu was reared in Fagaras, Romania. He said, “In Romania 12 years of education were mandatory. In one’s senior year, students took competitive examinations to qualify for college admission; the comprehensive test took about 10 hours to complete.” Radu was admitted to the Trian Vuia Polytechnical Institute and successfully completed a 5-year program as a chemical engineer. The teachers in the educational system were excellent. The young engineer’s first position was as a junior process engineer at a local chemical complex which at its peak employed 8000 workers. He recalls, “After 6 months, I was drafted into the Army. Military service was compulsory, ranging from 6 months to two years.” I asked about their exposure to western culture. Radu replied, “We had access to films and magazines. There was one television channel functioning four times daily and six or more on Sundays.” Some of Radu’s relatives came to the United States in the 1920’s and settled in Youngstown, Ohio. Romania had a Revolution in 1989, so the Lungu’s decided to leave
their homeland for the United States in search of new opportunities. Mr. Lungu recalls, “It was heart rendering, a difficult decision. My wife and I came to America with the assistance of our cousins, but my parents and two children remained in Romania. Within a year, my children were in Youngstown. My father, a plant supervisor, and my mother a teacher, remained in Romania.” “I was fortunate to be employed as a chemist in an Environmental Laboratory analyzing both industrial and medical components.” In 1995, he added to his educational resume by earning a master’s degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Youngstown State. In 2006, Essroc hired Radu as the Plant’s Environmental Engineer at the Bessemer, Penna. Plant. In 2009, Mr. Lungu brought his expertise to the Nazareth Plant. I asked about his responsibilities. He replied, “I work closely with Federal and State regulations making sure we comply with a multitude of regulations, which probably require 30% of my time. We continue to have a good relationship with their governmental agencies. I especially enjoy interacting

The KCB Challenge begins and ends with a run through the Kreidersville Covered Bridge, the last historic covered bridge in Northampton
L
County. The KCB Challenge is aptly named because it’s no easy practice run. Both the 5K and 10K start with an attention-grabbing incline (see MapMyRun) but the rest of the course is predominantly a welcomed downhill from there. Beautiful views with varied country scenery and crossing two historic bridges. Plenty of shady spots along the way. The shirts this year will highlight the colors of the bridge with a modern flair.

News Sermonette The Rev. Frances Merkel Pastor, Christ U.C.C. Church, Bath
Believing Without Seeing What a blessed time of year we can experience right now. As I work at my desk at home, I hear the sound of the red cardinal singing his song. Since the leaves have not grown and covered the trees yet, when I look out the window I can find him sitting at the very top of a tall black walnut tree. And so I know that it is the cardinal that calls out to the world. But what happens when the temperature turns warmer and the leaves burst forth in their splendid greens or deep reds or lighter colors? Then, when I hear the sound of the cardinal, he is hidden from sight and the only way I know he is around is because I hear his glorious song and believe him to be in the tree somewhere. Easter brings a similar experience for us. We follow the ministry of Jesus as he travels from town to town, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, teaching us about God and telling us to repent of our sins. We can see him, and it is as though there are no leaves on the trees. After Jesus’ crucifixion, he overcame death and arose on the third day. There were times that he was seen by people who testified that he was alive; and forty days after his resurrection he ascended into heaven to be with God, our Father. For Christians, it is now as if there are leaves on the trees. Just as we will not be able to see the cardinal because of the leaves, we can no longer see our Savior, Jesus Christ because he has ascended into heaven. But because of the wonderful testimony of the voices in Scripture, we believe him to be with us and very much a part of our lives. When Jesus had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. In this beautiful Easter Season, like our ancestors in faith, let us worship our Savior and give praise to God.

right. The objects, such as shells from a gun, don’t actually veer to the right. It is the earth that’s moving under them, which creates the illusion of veer. As we know, hurricanes are huge lowpressure areas, and when the air rushes down into these very low valleys, it veers to the right in its rush downward. That creates the counter clockwise winds that make up a hurricane.

During the last few years concern has cropped up for this animal. Reporters have been talking about “colony collapse disorder.” Swarms of these little, flying creatures had been disappearing and now their numbers seem to be leveling off, but still no one knows why. We need this animal to pollinate fruits, vegetables and flowers. They provide honey too. Our food supply might be in trouble if too many of these disappear!

Zoning board solicitor Thomas Caffrey said a similar dispute between NASD and Moore Township was settled to allow the district to build a solar energy array at Moore Elementary School. No action toward installing such a field of solar energy has followed there. That project was also to be installed by MetroTek. The Moore Twsp. Board of
Supervisors has enacted an ordinance defining the limits for both residential and commercial solar energy.

Letters from our Readers Mayor Daugherty Resigns It is with regret that I announce that Mayor Fred C. Daugherty, Jr. has tendered his letter of resignation from the Office of Mayor effective April 15, 2013. The Council and I have worked with Mayor Daugherty very hard over the last 3+ years dealing with the Nazareth Borough Police Department and its difficulties. The Mayor’s resignation now requires us to look in a different direction and we will accept résumés from any registered elector of the Borough of Nazareth at the Borough Office until May 2, 2013. Council will then consider its options to fill the vacancy and hopefully act at the May 6, 2013, regular meeting. Daniel R. Chiavaroli President of Nazareth Borough Council
Unemployment Compensation Reform
By State Rep. Marcia Hahn 138th Legislative District I voted to support House Bill 403, legislation which would increase penalties for anyone who commits willful fraud in attempting to obtain unemployment compensation benefits. The bill now sits with the state Senate, following unanimous passage by the House Tuesday, April 9. The legislation is directed at those in prison, as it imposes an additional 52-week penalty for claimants who illegally apply for benefits while incarcerated. It also increases penalties for all employers and public employees who violate the Unemployment Compensation Law.

GREEN LIVING Save The Earth, Eat Your Steak
by David Lillard Next time you go food shopping, save yourself the aggravation of hauling all those bags full of groceries home. Instead, take $40 of the hundred you plan to spend, and throw it in the trash—or nearest compost pile. If you’re like most Americans, as much as 40 percent of the food you buy never gets eaten. That’s an estimated $165 billion per year in wasted food according to a 2012 study by the Natural Resource Council of America. All that wasted food also represents one quarter of all freshwater consumed in the U.S. annually—water used to grow and process food we toss away. Food waste also causes 23 percent of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. In Europe alone, producing, shipping, storing and cooking food that ultimately gets tossed pumps as much carbon into the atmosphere as 36 coal-fired power plants. These disheartening numbers are consistent whether dining at home or in restaurants—just think of all the doggy bags you throw out! Operators of buffet-style restaurants know this too well. They see it when clearing the half-eaten plates of food patrons leave behind. “Our eyes are bigger than our stomachs,” says Steffen Kallbekken, co-author of a new study for the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo. Kallbekken and cohort Håkon Saelen are helping restaurants cut food waste by nearly a quarter. Their simple solution will work in eateries and at home: They cut the diameter of buffet plates by three centimeters. “If you place meals of exactly the same size on one large and one small plate, the meal on the large plate simply looks skimpier,” said Kallbekken. “Even trained nutritionists are unable to serve correct portion sizes when plate sizes differ.” Buffet guests using smaller plates still have the freedom to eat as much as they like, the researchers found, but they waste less— helping to reduce financial waste, resource waste and environmental impact, not to mention indigestion. For parents with young children here’s another simple strategy: Stop loading the kids’ plates with food they can’t finish. Remember, most people’s stomachs are about the size of their fists. Put smaller portions on a child’s plate and you’ll avoid throwing away food that won’t even fit in tiny bellies.

Here’s another benefit of serving less food: You can afford to eat better. Many consumers shy away from organic meats and produce because they’re often more expensive. But why not eat a delicious 8-ounce grassfed steak instead of a 12-ounce factory-farm cut—an eating habit that’s bound to help with our nation’s obesity problem too. With your buy-less strategy, you can eat better while saving money. Plus you’ll be helping the environment by purchasing locally raised food instead of food grown across the continent or around the world. You’ll reduce the environmental harm caused by chemical fertilizers and pest control in industrial-scale agriculture, and the fossil fuel needed to truck in food from afar. It’s nice to know that some of the greenest personal actions come about by simply conserving another kind of green—those dollar bills that we’re now tossing into the waste stream.
