Bath Easter egg hunt at Ahart’s a community success

A cold morning greeted the Easter egg hunt in the field next to Ahart’s Market in Bath. The Easter Bunny arrived courtesy of the Bath Firefighters before the egg hunt began. The kids were all excited and ready to go after the eggs. Finally, the fire engine sounded the start of the hunt. Prizes, donated by area businesses, were given

to the children and three out of every age group got a lucky egg. The lucky numbered eggs won prizes ranging from boom boxes, Easter baskets, basketball hoops and even a new bike!

All the children and parents had a great time and even had the chance to have their photos taken with the Easter Bunny!!

Thirty-six of the brightest and best Northampton Area High School seniors were honored Tuesday night at the 46th annual recognition dinner sponsored by the Exchange Club of Northampton.

It was held at the Northampton Memorial Community Center.

Club president Harold Schisler presided at the program as emcee. After the national anthem played by the school’s String Chamber Orchestra and pledge of allegiance led by Schisler, special remarks were given by Supt.

Joseph Kovalchik, who congratulated the students for their academic achievement.

Schisler welcomed the students, parents and siblings and senior high Principal J.

In addition to providing home delivered meals, MOWNC offers a vast array of additional services that help to make a difference in the lives of older adults and individuals in need. These services include: “Blizzard Boxes” which contain shelf staple meals for clients in the event that meals cannot be delivered during inclement weather; a “Listening Ear” program where volunteers call socially iso-

lated clients on a regular basis to provide social contact; a “Food Line” program which offers a grocery delivery service in selected communities; “Ani-Meals”, a pet food service which provides pet food donated by Phillips Feed, Inc. to clients who own pets; and “Chef Packs”, a selection of nutritious frozen meals to older adults or individuals (such as those recovering from surgery) who are unable to cook for themselves. All of these services help to make a positive difference in the lives of the people served.

Allen Twsp. supervisors listen To Bethlehem plans for water

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

While the City of Bethlehem plans on acquiring the East Allen Township water system, members of the Allen Township Board of Supervisors on Thursday, listened, but made no commitment on whether they will be a part of it.

A representative from Bethlehem told the board that they are required to apply to the Pa. Public Utility Commission (PUC) in moving forward with the East Allen plans, and they’d like to include an ex-

tension of the system to Mud Lane, and at least get a letter of support.

For East Allen Gardens, Bethlehem water authority’s plans are moving forward, including all operational responsibilities that go with it. An upgrade of the system with plans and construction takes as much as a year, they were told.

If the project were to include Allen, it would be Mud Lane south on the east side of Howertown Rd., requiring a 24-inch main.

Opinion State Must Continue Funding Of Early Childhood Education

By Senator Pat Browne 16th Senatorial District

The financial struggles and challenges facing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the upcoming budget process are well known. Governor Tom Corbett made it abundantly clear in his first budget address that he will not support a budget that increases taxes. He also was clear that each department and agency will have to make do with less as the state works to erase a $4 billion deficit.

This will require examining every area of state funding to determine where cuts are necessary and which programs merit continued funding.

One area that deserves continued funding and is critical to the future growth and prosperity of the Commonwealth is early childhood education.

This funding is vital in giving at-risk young people the opportunity to succeed in school and later in life.

As co-chair of the Early Childhood Education Caucus, I applaud Governor Corbett for protecting and preserving state support for these programs in his 2010-2011 budget proposal. He understands that these initiatives are not only essential to the education of these children, but also to our communities and the future fiscal success of our great commonwealth.

There is no denying that investing in early childhood education comes with an initial cost. However, in the long-run, these programs improve the lives of those who need help the most. They also provide long-term value to taxpayers in the form of more productivity and less dependence on government assistance.

Case studies have shown that children who participate in early education programs were more likely to graduate

News Sermonette The Rev. Thomas Neel

Pastor, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Jesus is Risen!

As someone who stands before a congregation every Sunday and offers a message, I find one of the most difficult times to preach to be on Easter Sunday. Not because I am at a loss for words, that rarely happens, but because what else do you say besides Jesus is Risen! That says it all doesn't it? I mean how do you add to the most important event on the Christian calendar? It is the event that defines who we are as people. For those people that attend a Christian place of worship, this is old news that is fabulous year after year after year.

But the key to unlocking what is really behind Easter might be that this celebration is not so much for those who know the story (although we can enjoy it too) as it is for those who don't know the story. Those who think Easter has more to do with a big hopping bunny and family gatherings. Not that bunnies and family gatherings are bad, but they aren't Easter.

Perhaps we celebrate Easter every year so that we can share the story with someone who has never heard the good news that Jesus rose from the dead because He loved us, so He could save us. I can't imagine better news to share with someone. The gift that Jesus gives us at Easter is huge and I can't imagine my life without the knowledge of that gift. So it only makes sense to share this great joy we celebrate once a year.

We live in a culture that more and more is turning away from what we know as "church". These are good people, our neighbors and our coworkers. Share this wonderful news with them, it will change their lives.

ernment, starting kids out on the right foot early in life by providing them with the proper educational tools will go a long way to doing just that.

The state, however, cannot do this alone. It is imperative that families, educators, business leaders, legislators and, of course, the students themselves take an active role in the education process.

Without question, this will be the toughest budget process that the state has faced in a long time. I hope and look for the Governor and my fellow legislators to join me to continue Pennsylvania’s involvement in early childhood education. It is a must for the future of our children, our state and our country.

from high school, lead more productive lives afterward and were less likely to be arrested or reliant on social services. Additionally, at-risk children who participate in the early childhood education programs are significantly less likely to repeat a grade in school, and that alone results in thousands of tax dollars saved each year.

A few weeks ago, America’s Edge – a group dedicated to strengthening businesses, the economy and communities through proven investments in children – disclosed the results of a new study and report that detailed the clear and deep economic connections between early childhood education and business growth and development in Pennsylvania. The report showed that investment in quality early care and education will actually generate $1.06 in sales of local goods and services from Pennsylvania businesses for every $1 invested.

Well, the rains held off long enough so that everybody who planned eggs hunts on Saturday morning had ‘em right on schedule. The kids sure had a great time pickup all those eggs, and there were plenty of ‘em to find, being kinda selective as they hoped to find one that meant a nice big prize. Congrats to Ahart’s, the Bath Firefighters, scouts, churches and all others who helped to make it a success in town. Makes it worthwhile when you see all the big smiles on the young’uns. . . . .The rains sure came later on, a typical April shower, I reckon, but thank goodness, no problems like when the storm made its way up north.

It was great to see the sun out again on Palm Sunday. Now let’s hope it’s shining again on Easter Sunday – not at the dawn services, when it’s still kinda dark, but later in the morning for the regular services, and when families come home for a big Easter dinner. . . .Didn’t hear what caused it, but power in town

was out on Saturday, and some businesses shut their doors, while others carried flashlights, but couldn’t use their credit card machine. Ye Ed Tells me that the electricity went out for about an hour up Moore Township way on Saturday night, and he didn’t have any RCN TV until Sunday afternoon, just in time for a couple innings of the Phillies game. They were initializing all that time, it seems. It’s times like these when we realize just how much we rely on electricity. . .Congrats to the honor students who were given a dinner by the Northampton Exchange the other night.

It’s great when we can recognize the good work of these students, and I’m sure Mom and Pop had a lot to do with it, too! . . . .Spring flowers are really blooming now – tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, forsythia bushes and dogwood trees, to name a few. Except for when it’s raining, this is a great time of year. . . .Best of luck to Ron and Millie, who today are pulling up stakes and moving

Soft Ice Cream

down to North Carolina. . . .Phllies are doing okay, winning most games even when their top pitchers may be off a bit. Watched the Yankees game the other night. That couldn’t been scripted anymore than the usual Yankee games. Hit home runs, have a tie score, get a run ahead in the 8th and bring in old reliable Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning. They won, naturally! . . . . It’s foggy out this morning, but if the sun comes out later on, it should be a nice day. Here’s wishing you all a bright and sunny Happy Easter!

PLANTING SOME NEW IDEAS...

FINAL INSTALLMENT!

Here is our final offering of some tips and ideas that were given to us by a great customer!

STORE BOUGHT FROSTING: When you buy a container of cake frosting, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. It can double in size and you’ll be able to frost more cake or cupcakes with less icing!

FOGGY WINDSHIELDS: Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car.

When the windows fog up, just rub with the eraser.

HAIR CONDITIONER: Ladies, use hair conditioner to shave your legs. It’s cheaper than shaving cream per ounce, and leaves your legs really soft. Plus, it’s a great way to use up conditioner you bought but didn’t like when you tried it in your hair!

FRUIT FLIES: To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it half-way with apple cider vinegar and two drops of dish washing liquid, and mix well. The flies will be drawn to the cup and be gone forever!

NOLAN BUSKIRK was greeted by the Easter Bunny.

the signal was given and they reached down to get as many eggs as they could to fill their baskets.

Councilman Robert McHale made sure the littlest children had an egg. He picked one up and handed it to the child, one at a time, as he accompanied the Easter Bunny along the big line of children and their parents and siblings.

There were different age groups spread out along the borough park, but the youngest got the most attention. It didn’t matter. In the end almost 400 chocolate bunnies and yellow Peeps were handed to the children of all ages.

Among others handing out the prize chocolates and Peeps were Police Chief Ron Morey, Assistant Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst, Steve Gerney of the road department, and Councilman McHale, who yelled with a broad smile, “Peep it up!”.

There were other volunteers as well from the borough (who we couldn’t identify in the melee), and who also did a great job of giving out the chocolates to the children.

Thankfully, the heavy rains held off until the late afternoon and everyone at the egg hunt had a wonderful time – even bundled up for the cold weather.

Supervisor William Holmes said the streets in East Allen Gardens aren’t getting any better. “We wouldn’t do anything about that until they are torn up for water lines, but we can’t wait for four or five years.”

Supervisor Al Pierce asked the Bethlehem rep if the main would be of concrete or steel, and the answer was that it’s difficult to tap off of concrete.

It was noted that the High Meadows developer did not want to have Bethlehem water.

The city had a major water leak from one of its big mains last week that was 30 ft. deep, and it took days to repair, having to get some material

Dog Park Planned A meeting had been held recently concerning the proposed Savage Road Trail Spur/Dog Park project, and the board discussed it on Thursday.

The township is waiting to hear from Northampton County on the project, from which $69,000 would pay for the trail.

It was noted that the NorBath Trail goes in an east - west direction, while the township’s walking trail is north - south.

Holmes said he is not against the dog park, except for the maintenance problem, especially picking up after dogs. “I am concerned about keeping it clean.” Chairman Paul Balliet also expressed Continued on page 10

reservations about the dog park, which would be in an enclosed field away from the trail path. No dogs are supposed to be allowed on Nor-Bath Trail, but it happens. Efforts would be made not to let dogs cross the township trail. If in fact the dog park goes through, a card system would be used for dog owners.

The county property along Savage Road is 13.1 acres. Engineer Brien Kocher will get an estimate on the cost of the dog park.

Other Matters • A 90-day extension was approved for review of plan revisions for the High Meadows development. The extension goes to July 15, 2011.

• The board adopted the resubdivision plan for North Hills, section B, two lots in phase 1.

• With a new earned income tax collection system in the county starting in 2012, the board said there is a need to educate the public about it now.

Supervisor Pierce suggested meeting with the Northampton Area School District tax collector to make the transition easier.

• A resident complained about litter along W. Bullshead Rd., that includes water and soda bottles, newspapers and other debris. One person suggested it may come from Catasauqua High School students, with a woman noting that she sent a letter to the school principal. Supervisor Michelle Drzeweicki said it could also come from recycling trucks, because the day after their collection is when the problem seems worst.

Balliet said the township road crew could pick up the litter. “It’s a big problem, I agree,” he said. The road workers already do clean up along Willowbrook Road. The fire company could assist, and perhaps coordinate any clean-ups with the school, it was noted.

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Lehigh Township’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, April 12 adopted a resolution that the township supports the trail proposed by the Rails to Trails Committee in the township.

David Aldrin said the concept was first proposed by Sean Billings of the Lehigh Township Historical Society years ago. The committee separated from the society last year and has done some fund raising for the trail, a half mile of which is owned by the township. They have also received a $5,000 grant from the state.

The supervisors were asked to give the committee their official recognition. Solicitor David Backenstoe said the

board could adopt a resolution, give an easement to work on the trail, and secure an agreement that the township would be free of any liability.

The Nor-Bath Trail covers more than five miles, and this Lehigh trail would be a link to it. Meg Shell said the trail would be open to hiking, biking, and equestrians, but no motorized vehicles. In other trails in the Lehigh Valley, there are patrols to keep them orderly.

Soccer Fields The board heard a report by the township engineer on two soccer fields at Delps, noting that it is much more conservative now in a management perspective than

when first proposed. A grading plan has to be developed, along with an application to the Northampton County Conservation District. Supervisor Brian Moser expressed the hope for volunteer labor, and Mike Sucron said he expected to get that from LCCCI, when plans are completed by Hanover Engineering. In any case, construction is not expected until the fall.

No immediate plans are to construct a new municipal building, but it was noted that one of the problems is the air conditioning, where ducts are held together with tape. The board agreed they need to know what direction they will take in the future.

One resident, however, felt it is a waste of money to look so far ahead. Moser said he favors planning the whole thing out. Supervisor Keith Hantz thinks it is a good idea, but asked for another two weeks to do their homework.

MetroTek Appeal Solicitor Backenstoe noted that MetroTek had filed an appeal over 10,000 proposed solar panels at Lehigh El-

ementary School and it was denied by the zoning hearing board, who ruled that it would not be a principal use.

MetroTek has since filed an appeal before the Court of Common Pleas. Backenstoe said the supervisors could intervene and support the ZHB decision, or they could choose not to do so. The board’s position is that the array would not be a principal use, so they voted to intervene.

Fixing Guiderails Township Manager Alice Rehrig reported that three sections of guiderails are in poor condition, and the board accepted a bid of Morgan Rails, Inc. at a cost of $24,740 to replace all of them. It is covered under the maintenance fund. Money is also available for road repairs and several township roads are in bad shape because of the severe winter weather, and need more than band-aid repairs.

Supervisor Dell Grove said, “We’re doing everything we can not to raise taxes. (The roads) are a universal problem. We need to drive slower.”

Other Matters • Conditional approval was given to Larry Kemmerer’s Cottonwood Crest phase four, lot nine minor subdivision located within the subdivision on S. Cottonwood Road.

• Archery Addictions received a waiver for PennDOT curbing at their site development, a curbing that differs from that of the township.

They also received a time extension until July 30.

• Although the Beltzner Acres minor subdivision along Walnut Drive was denied by the Planning Commission because time expired, the supervisors allowed an extension until July 31, 2011.

• Danielsville dugouts and tennis courts were also discussed by engineer Phil Malitsch, who said the cost would be from $1,950 to $3,450.

• Amendments to stormwater management, SALDO and zoning ordinances were approved for advertisement.

Updating of SALDO and zoning has been going on for a year and a half. Backenstoe said if there is a conflict of interest between the two, the applicant would be favored.

• A resolution was noted for the Act 32 earned income tax committee. Backenstoe will review it.

• Resident James Gallagher complained about truck braking noise, and the board said only PennDOT can enforce truckers not doing it. The problem is on Blue Mountain Drive (Rt. 946). Gallagher was advised to make a list of the truck companies that are doing the braking noise.

• Another resident asked for reduced speeds along Cottonwood Rd. Police Chief Jeffrey Schuler will be consulted about it. But any changes in speed limits have to be done by ordinance.

• A question was raised, why the increase in water rates? The supervisors said that is up to the water authority and complaints should be brought to them. They meet tonight (April 21).

• In a final note, Hantz asked that road foreman Frank Zamadics be contacted about volunteer work at the recreation fields, out of courtesy to him.
