Generous donor Helps Local man By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

Andrew Weaver’s battle against Cerebral Palsy has left him confined to a wheel chair. Most days, Andy, 27, of Nazareth, handles his situation with a smile and upbeat attitude. An avid fan, he attends Nazareth High School’s sports games including football, baseball, basketball and many others. Andy is well known in the community and his indomitable spirit in the face of adversity inspires optimism and pride. Andy’s sunny attitude was dampened last Wednesday when the wheelchair he has been using for nearly 8 years stopped working. The wheelchair was Andy’s only way to get around his home and his community. He began to feel like a prisoner in his own home without it. Andy made a few sorrowful status updates on his normally chipper facebook page last Wednesday afternoon and by that evening he was on the 10 o’clock Continued on page 15

Hahn endorses Power-line path Thru Delaware Gap

State Rep. Marcia Hahn (RNorthampton) is endorsing a PPL Electric Utilities plan to run a high voltage power line through the Delaware Water Gap, as opposed to Northampton County. The proposal recently received support from the National Park Service. “While concerns have been expressed by various groups, I am trusting in the conclusions reached by the National Park Service,” Rep. Hahn said. “I agree wholeheartedly with their opinion and believe that using existing power line

paths for this much needed project, rather than creating new ones, will be less invasive to the environment.” PPL has proposed a 145mile transmission line from its Luzerne County nuclear power plant to the Roseland substation near Newark, N.J. One of the alternatives called for the creation of a new path, which would have included Northampton County. “We are in the midst of what appears to be a jobless recovery,” added Hahn. “This project will create an estimated 2,000 jobs during construction, and I look forward to what I hope will be project approval this fall.”The park service has jurisdiction over the project, and expects to render a decision by Oct. 1. Project completion is targeted for the summer of 2015.

Lehigh Township’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, April 10 voted to opt into the lawsuit in Pa. Commonwealth Court over the City of Allentown using earned income taxes from out-of-area workers for an ice hockey arena and other development in the city at 7th & Hamilton Streets. Called a Neighborhood Improvement Zone, it includes 130 acres in the city that reaches as far away as Sacred Heart Hospital and to the waterfront of the Lehigh River. Persons from other municipalities who work in that zone would find their earned income taxes, for an uncertain amount of time, going to the city and not to Hanover Twsp., Bethlehem Twsp., Hellertown, Upper Nazareth Twsp., Lower Saucon Twsp. (and now Lehigh Twsp., Lower Nazareth Twsp. and Bushkill Twsp.) and possibly others who might join the suit. Bath and Moore Twsp. have not decided yet to do so, and it is not known about East Allen Twsp. The suit, first filed by Hanover Twsp., Northampton County, contends that the Constitution does not allow the Legislature to adopt a law for one city.

Solicitor David Backenstoe said that costs to enter the suit are between $2,500 for a population under 5,000 and $10,000 for a municipality over 10,000. But he said that if the E..I.T. money is held up for 30 years, the amount withheld could be thousands of dollars, just for one person. Supervisor Cindy Miller commented that no one was ever able to express an opinion on the law written by State Senator Pat Browne (RLehigh). “It was done back door,” she said. “And it’s not just the arena, it’s the development that includes the waterfront.”

-----------------------“We haven’t been able to get numbers on how much money we would lose.”

-Darryl Snover

------------------------

Supervisor Dell Grove was concerned with an amount of time before the court makes a decision. Ms. Miller asked, too, if the lawsuit stops arena construction, would that increase the costs? There are a lot of unanswered questions, and Chairman Darryl Snover said, “We haven’t been able to get numbers on how much money we

would lose.” Supervisor Sandy Hopkins said she is “looking at the morality of the problem – what’s right is right.” In voting unanimously to enter the suit, the supervisors believed this was the only way to get information. Other Matters • The board discussed at length a recreation resolution, especially in regard to the cost of lights for night games. When turned on, the township gets a bill for $500. The board noted that it’s hard to control if the team playing falls within or outside of the billing cycle. From April 20 to July 20 it is $55 an hour; if later, they pay the full cost of $500. Hantz suggested that the high school booster teams should use fields in East Allen and Moore townships as well as Lehigh. Township Manager Alice Rehrig commented, “If all teams work together in a two-month billing cycle, it would be more economical.” Supervisor Keith Hantz said schedulers should adjust so that night games are within the billing cycle. A resident suggested using a generator and then there would be no worries about Continued on page 9

Cub Pack 43 holds pinewood derby race Cub Scouts from Pack 43, Sacred Heart Parish in Bath, raced their pinewood derby cars on Tuesday, Feb. 28 in the church auditorium. And what a race it was! The cars were all well built, carved, painted, decorated, and fast! By the end of the evening, after several rounds of competitive racing and photo finish heats, there was a clear cut-winning car and it belonged to Wolf Cub Matthew Schroyer with a fastest lap time of 2.5051 seconds. Second place went to Wolf Cub Xander Schultz, 2.5163; third place was Bear Cub Nicholas Muschlitz, 2.5216; fourth place was Tiger Cub Nicholas Bazzett, 2.5482, and rounding out the top five was another Tiger Cub, Nolan Mohry, 2.5499. These top five finishers now move on to the North Valley District finals race to be held on April 28, and the pack wishes them great success and fun at that race. Four of the Cub Scouts were also awarded special

ribbons for “Least Wood Removed” – Webelos Scout Derek Richline; “Best Looking Race Car” – Tiger Cub Antonio Mariani; “Most Cub Scout Spirit” – Bear Cub Brandon Weimer, and “Most Non-Car Like” – Bear Cub Nicholas Muschlitz. After car registration and

pit inspection, which the Cubs passed, they were given pit passes and moved on to uniform inspection. Racing action began after food and snacks were enjoyed, with Bear Leader Joe Brady, Webelos Leader Pat Nocera, Continued on page 7

The key question for all candidates running for president in the November 6th election, including President Obama, is the best way to bring an end to the recession. European countries, many of which are in a severe recession, have been trying austerity as a means of lifting the economy. In the view of many, that has not worked. In this country the president (and Congress) will have to decide whether austerity (certainly waste and unnecessary spending should be eliminated) or stimulus spending should have priority. Paul Krugman, veteran New York Times columnist, has been insisting for months that the best and quickest way to lift the U.S. economy is not by cutting spending but by continued critical spending, for a limited period of time. Voters have this question to answer between now and November 6th--that is which presidential candidate will restart the U.S. economy the quickest. If Krugman is right, that austerity has been used in Europe at the worst time, and worsened the economies of many European Union countries, if that is a valid financial reading, the next American president should not cut spending related to the national economy and jobs, but only that which is waste and bureaucratic excess.

The beautiful weather is continuing, and on Monday it was like summer with temps getting up to the 90 degree range. Even when there’s a forecast of rain, it’s just enough to dampen the ground, but not near enough to take care of the drought. Not that we want a lot of rain, but let’s face it, we need a soaker to even out things. Like the townships are warning us, don’t start any camp fires, or even burn anything in a barrel, ‘cause sparks can fly out and ignite everything around. The weather folks are calling for rain Saturday and Sunday, so we’ll see what that amounts to. . . . Read a nice story about saving a dog that fell into the quarry at the Keystone this past Saturday. He’s lucky to be alive because of some help down at the plant. Wonder why there were no veterinarians from this area involved? Oh well, the main thing is that the dog survived. . . .Speaking about survival, the Phillies just managed that by getting a win over the Mets on Sunday, and now they’re headed out West. Those bats better stay hot and steady if

they wanta get back into the race. . . . .If you didn’t get an extension on your taxes, the deadline of Tuesday, April 17 has come and gone, and Uncle Sam frowns on that. . . .A month from this Thursday is the community yard sale, and the 275th anniversary committee is gonna collect used clothing that day, too. You might wanta keep that in mind. . . .Took notice the flowers on the Main Street bridge were being tended to the other day. . . .Didn’t see him, but I hear Bobby Brubaker and family were in from San Diego for the holiday. . . . I hear there was a special cantata up at the Lutheran church on Sunday, written by the organist. . . . Folks, if you have any used eyeglasses, Marvin Werkheiser wants to turn ‘em in this Saturday at the Lions convention. Give him a call . . . . I hear Margie Rehrig took a fall at church after services on Easter Sunday and was in the hospital for a few days. Glad to hear that she’s feeling better now. . . . Charlie Schmalzer will be welcoming some blind folks a couple Saturdays from now for fishing in his pond.

The Moore Township Lions have been doing it for years, with help from Bath. They give the blind breakfast, and then help them bait their hooks to catch fish. . . . Guys who had their plows ready for snow sure didn’t have much work this winter, but now that it’s warm and the grass is growing they’re busy again with their mowers. Let’s just hope that this drought doesn’t turn the grass brown anytime soon. . . . Reckon I better tend to my lawn. See you around.

BASEBALL✷ ✷ The absurdity of Major League baseball’s system of keeping player records on games was strikingly demonstrated April 5th in the opening game between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. The Tigers were pitching last season’s Cy Young award winner and Most Valu-

able Player in the American League, Justin Verlander, who won 24 games last season. He pitched eight almost perfect innings allowing only three hits and left the game. The score then was 2-0 Detroit, and everyone thought Verlander had his first win of the 2012 season. But the relief pitcher who came into pitch the top of the 9th gave up 2 runs, the only Boston runs on the game. The Tigers scored one in the bottom of the 9th to win 3-2. Who was the winning pitcher? Not Verlander who pitched 8 scoreless innings., but the relief pitcher who gave up 2 runs in one inning! Absurd. Official scorers should decide games by more sensible rules.

Spring Gobbler Season Starts With Youth

Pennsylvania Game Commission officials are reporting that the unusual seasonal conditions being experienced throughout much of the state will present turkey hunters with a mixed blessing as they plan for the upcoming spring gobbler season. “On the positive side, a higher proportion of hens likely will be incubating nests by opening day thanks to the unusually early spring, making gobblers more vocal in search of hens,” said Carl G. Roe, PGC executive director. “Also, gobblers are in good condition this spring because of the very mild winter, which means those healthy males may just continue gobbling and looking for mates throughout the hunting season. “However, on the negative side,

the early spring means leaves already are emerging, which will make it more difficult for hunters to hear and see their target, which will make it even more important to consider using a fluorescent orange band to alert other hunters to your stationary location or while moving.” Game Commission Game-Take Survey results show that spring turkey hunting has become so popular that there now are more spring turkey hunters (230,000) than fall turkey hunters (163,000). Spring harvests average 38,000 to 45,000 bearded birds, while fall harvests average 16,000 to 25,000 birds of either sex. The state’s one-day youth spring gobbler season is Saturday, April 21, and will run from one-half hour

before sunrise until noon. The general spring gobbler season is April 28-May 31, with the traditional noon closure for the first two weeks (April 28-May 12), and from one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset for the remaining two weeks (May14-31). “By the second half of the season, hunter participation decreases significantly and nesting hens are less prone to abandon nests,” said Mary Jo Casalena, PGC wild turkey biologist. The 2011 spring gobbler season was the first year of all-day hunting during the second half of the season, and the overall harvest was a slight decrease from the 2010 harvest. Afternoon harvest comprised six percent of the total reported harvests and 22 percent of the harvest during the all-day portion of the season. During the all-day season, 78 percent of the harvest occurred before noon. For the afternoon segment, the majority of the harvest occurred between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., with the last reported harvest at 8:35 p.m. Hunters who have purchased a second spring gobbler season license may harvest up to two bearded turkeys, one per day. In 1968, the first spring gobbler season started on a Monday and ran only six days so biologists could get a pulse on hunter success and the season’s impact on the more than 60,000 wild turkeys inhabiting about half of Pennsylvania’s forestland at the time. It worked! More hunters were afield on the last day of the season – a Saturday – than the opener, and hunters took a total of 1,636 turkeys in the new season. Comparatively, in 2011, preliminary harvests show hunters took 43,957 bearded wild turkeys in the spring gobbler seasons from an estimated statewide spring population of about 341,000. Pennsylvania manages one of the most prolific wild turkey populations in America. It is an accomplishment that is directly related to both previous and ongoing research and management practices, the state’s outstanding tapestry of turkey-friendly habitats and the resiliency of Pennsylvania’s wild turkeys. “The 2011 spring gobbler har-

NEW: S BOW vest (43,957) was the seventh highest preliminary harvest on record, and only three percent below the previous three-year average,” Casalena said. “This decrease most likely was due to the rainy weather throughout much of last year’s spring season and below average summer reproduction two of the last three years in many WMUs, both of which decreased gobbling activity.” The preliminary fall harvest was 17,017, an increase over

the 2010 harvest of 15,884. Due to below average summer reproduction during the last three years, the 2012 harvest is expected to be 15 to 25 percent lower than the previous three-year average. Casalena encourages spring gobbler hunters to spend time scouting, which always plays an important role in hunter success, especially for those experienced older toms. “Scouting can improve hunters’ chances, especially if they line up multiple locations for the spring season,” Casalena said. “Prior to the season, however, hunters should consider not using turkey calls to locate gobblers, because it will educate birds and cause them to be less inclined to respond to the early-morning calls of in-season hunters. “If you’re trying to locate a gobbler, it’s best to head out at first light to listen for calls. Birds have been active for weeks! On a still morning, a gobbler’s call often can be detected a mile away or more.” Hunters are reminded that it is illegal to stalk turkeys or turkey sounds in the spring gobbler sea-

son. Given the wild turkey’s keen senses, it’s not a wise move anyway, but more importantly, it makes a tremendous difference for the personal safety of everyone afield. Every year, hunters are shot in mistake for game while approaching hunters calling for turkeys, and/or callers are shot in mistake for game by stalking hunters. “Safety must be the foremost consideration of every turkey hunter,” emphasized Keith Snyder, Game Commission Hunter-Trapper Education division chief. “If every hunter followed the state’s hunting regulations and positively

identified his or her target as legal game before squeezing the trigger, we could nearly eliminate huntingrelated shooting incidents during the spring gobbler season. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work that way. Legal sporting arms are: shotguns plugged to three-shell capacity in the chamber and magazine combined; muzzleloading shotguns; and crossbows and bows with broadhead bolts or arrows of cutting-edge design.

It will be held in the Allen Township Municipal Building, 4714 Indian Trail Rd., Northampton, on Wednesday, April 25 at 7 p.m. Sponsoring the program will be the Bertsch-Hokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed Association. John Mauser, veteran environmental project volunteer and projects manager for the Martins-Jacoby Watershed Association in Lower Mt. Bethel Township, will discuss the process of developing and implementing stream-related projects like the construction and installation of fish habitat structures, streambank stabilization practices, fish passage improvement ventures and more. During his presentation, Mauser will address the processes of determining what types of projects to undertake, and the nuts and bolts of project engineering, design permitting, funding, completion and monitoring. He will also focus on the importance of establishing community partnerships to accomplish environmental projects. Several local environmental stream projects will be highlighted during the program. The association strives to be the region’s leader and chief advocate for conservation ––

It was also agreed that teams are to register with Manager Rehrig before practice and games. • A solar panel ordinance is being considered, but the supervisors said they need at least two more weeks to review it. Snover and Hantz saw in it provisions that are troubling. Cindy Miller noted that to get 100% electricity for her home it would cost $115,000. Sandy Hopkins said a solar panel at her home has limited capacity for providing electricity. The ordinance as written is for a 13-k.w.h. system and there was talk of a 10-k.w.h. limit. At any rate, the board is not yet ready to vote on the ordinance, even advertising it.

Breathe A Little Easier!

Allergy season is really upon us now, so anything you can do to keep them at bay is a good idea. Installing particle-catching furnace filters in your forced-air system with a high MERV rating is one of the best things you can do for you and your family. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, which indicates how effective a filter is at catching particles and allergens. At rating of 5-8 is good, but a rating of 12 is best. Be sure to change your filter every 3 months, and keep your system’s fan running to keep clean air circulating.

Chairman Eric Nagle questioned the difference between costs to join the lawsuit and revenue lost from the Neighborhood Improvement Zone, and voted against the motion. Reportedly, costs for businesses to locate in the NIZ are lower than elsewhere, and solicitor Gary Asteak told the board that “It would draw businesses away from our municipality.” It’s unknown how many people from Lower Nazareth work in the 130-acre NIZ, and that’s what worries many other Northampton County municipalities. Sidewalk Waiver Builder Jim Faust and engineer Larry Turoczy appeared before the board seeking a waiver from sidewalks at the Estate at Deer Crossing development. But the board took no action on it. Turoczy said paver sidewalks would be better than concrete that is called for in the township’s SALDO, for water would drain into the soil. The sidewalks would take up 34,000 sq. ft. of space. He said DEP recommends a modified drainage inlet. Engineer Al Kortze said that is one of six alternatives, but termed a roadside drainage swale “a logistic nightmare.” Kucsan favored concrete sidewalks, mainly because of children walking on them rather than down the middle of streets. Faust said residents wouldn’t clean the snow off the sidewalks. Nagle said he would be more inclined to an alternative than granting a waiver. Faust said if there is a delay it could go back to the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection on water runoff, and take 180 days for DEP to decide, and he’s tired of their 180 days to make a ruling.

Chamber showdown building in Nazareth

By Joe Korba The Home News

Last Wednesday, The Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce (GLVCC) announced plans to open a satellite office in Nazareth. The announcement effectively, if inadvertently, caused a rift between the two chambers. After the announcement the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce (NACC), sent a letter to its membership emphasizing the importance of remaining independent from the larger organization. The letter, written by Daniel D. Thierry, the 2012 Chairperson of NACC, addresses the increasing pressure from the GLVCC to merge and the importance of remaining autonomous. Tina Smith, president of the Nazareth Chamber believes that there are many inherent benefits of being an independent chamber. “We’re smaller and more intimate, I have an open door policy and strive to do business with everyone. When your membership gets too large you lose that intimacy. We don’t need to be the biggest chamber to serve our members,” said Ms. Smith. “Over the years we’ve proven that you can network with other chambers while maintaining independence and be successful,” she continued. One of the major sticking points seems to be the lack of communication between

NACC and GLVCC according to Ms. Smith. “I’m not happy about it, and it was not communicated directly to us. We haven’t spoken to anyone [at GLVCC] about it,” she said. Ms. Smith then added that the Nazareth Chamber is growing with new members almost daily. “Merging [with GLVCC] is not something our members want to happen. They [GLVCC] say that they are on every main street, but that isn’t true. They don’t have offices in Bath and a lot of other small towns. It seems like they are trying to eliminate us as competition,” she said. Marlyn Kissner, Executive Vice President of the regional chapters for the Lehigh Valley Chamber, has a different take on her chamber’s move into Nazareth. “We’ve definitely communicated and approached the Nazareth chamber many times in the past about regionalism,” Mrs. Kissner said. “It’s our mantra: ‘On Every Main Street’. We want to be able to support local businesses with our resources. Many of the [Nazareth] members are paying two dues [to NACC and GLVCC], they asked us to be there,” she continued. Like the cliché from old westerns, we’ll just have to wait and see if the town is big enough for the both of them. The Home News is a member of NACC and GLVCC.
