Pa. adds 18 farms To preservation list Pennsylvania’s Agricultural Land Preservation Board this past week protected 1,493 additional acres on 18 farms in 12 counties from development through the state’s nationally renowned Farmland Preservation Program.

The board preserved farms in Bucks, Carbon, Centre, Clinton, Cumberland, Dauphin, Greene, Lancaster, Monroe, Northampton, Northumberland, and Pike counties.

Since the program began in 1988, state, county and local governments have invested nearly $1.2 billion to preserve 473,094 acres on 4,403 farms in 57 counties for future agricultural production.

The program enables these governments to purchase conservation easements, also called development rights, from owners of quality farmland, and in some cases, the Continued on page 11

Ground broken for new $80.7 million Northampton Area Middle School

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

On a sunny, but cold and windy Monday afternoon, April 22, history was made in Northampton Borough.

Ground was broken for the new $80.7 million Northampton Area School District middle school.

Supt. Joseph Kovalchik began the ceremony by recognizing “a whole host” of people involved in the project, including the school board, Northampton Borough officials, the engineering and architectural firms – all part of a team, he said. He also paid tribute to the nearby Atlas Machine Shop, who he said provided space for the contractors to park their vehicles during the construction.

Kovalchik said it has been more than 30 years that a middle school has actually

come about, adding, “All good things take time.”

He said the school and much of the school district’s property is on land that originally was part of the Atlas Cement Co., and Kovalchik paid tribute to the Atlas workers who, he said, had integrity, dedication, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence.

“This is more than a building,” the superintendent told the crowd gathered on the middle school site, “it is a district changing event, propelling students into the middle of the 21st Century.”

Noting that the present middle school has become inadequate, contrasting that will be state-of-the art security, a facility that deals with enrollment that has reached capacity, will have an abundance of space for athletic programs, and space for community activities in a media center, swimming pool and gymnasium.

Concluding his remarks, Kovalchik, a former student in the school district, declared, “We are the Konkrete Kids, moving forward into the

OpinionHH Americans Waste 40% of Food We Buy

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

50th Anniversary Lois A. and Dellie J. Iasiello, Jr. of Danielsville, Pa. Married on April 27, 1963 at the St. John’s UCC Church, Broad St. Nazareth

Lois Ann (Davis) Iasiello is the daughter of Kermit and Helen (Talpas) Davis, Point Phillips/Bath. Dellie J. Iasiello Jr. is the son of Dellie J. Iasiello, Sr. and Daisy (Klotz) Iasiello, Point Phillips/Bath.

They have two sons; Thomas A. Iasiello, wife Anita and grandsons Kyle Thomas and Jared Dell Iasiello of Walnutport.

And Eric J. Iasiello, wife Annette and granddaughters Kendall Vye and Raegan Sophia Iasiello of Danielsville.

The Couple are members of the Moore Township Lions and Lioness Clubs.

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 grass-fed 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 industrialscale agriculture, and the fossil

www.HomeNewsPA.com 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.

Correction

In the article published last week regarding a Commonwealth Court judge’s decision that overturned a Northampton County Court ruling regarding a proposed solar array at Lehigh Elementary School. The original decision in Lehigh Township was by the zoning hearing board and not the zoning officer, who the judge said overstepped their authority by considering whether solar panels are a common accessory to a school building.

The court found that the Lehigh Township zoning law plainly allows “solar energy units” as an accessory use, provided they meet size and setback requirements. No further action has been taken by Lehigh Township officials.

The Home News apologizes for the error regarding the zoning officer.

Also, the two children who were in the Northampton home where a methamphetamine lab was being operated out of are the children of Brian Person.

They are a 9 year old boy and a 7 year old girl.

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip The whole country, and especially the running world as thousands gathered at the Boston Marathon, were shocked and stunned by two brothers who set off bombs last week, killing three and injuring 170 at the race, and then killing an M.I.T. police officer and hurting another policeman. We live in a violent world, I guess, but it really hurts when it’s right here in America, and by two men who have been living here for more than 10 years. It’s so sad.

Now there will be funerals, and people without arms and legs from the blast will have years of therapy and dealing with orthopedics. All we can do is pray that there won’t be more senseless acts, but there probably will unfortunately. It was good to see the happy faces of fans at Fenway Park after the one brother was captured. . . . How lucky we are to live in a small town where people get along pretty well. What we do might not be exciting, but I’ll take it! . . . .Spring is here, and the trees are sprouting their leaves, but it was cold and breezy on Monday, so folks had their winter jackets and hoodies on. Have faith, though, it will get warmer. Then we’ll probably complain that it’s too hot or too humid. . . .Sorry to hear that “Doc” Cavallo died. I didn’t even know he was sick.

The gang will miss him telling his jokes. He always had a knack for it. . . .I thought the state Legion bowling tourna-

ment in Bath was gonna be in the summer, but it was this week already. I hear they had a bunch of shifts to handle all the bowlers. Marty Beal kept ‘em in line, I’m sure. . . . Just heard that Alice Wanamaker from our news staff tripped and hurt her ankle, so she’s on crutches. Hope her ankle heals fast, ‘cause the BBCP race is only a few weeks away, and she’s usually out taking pictures of the runners. . . . Hats off to Marcia Hahn as the scouts gave her an award the other day for all she does. . . . T & C restaurant in town is closed now for the rest of their remodeling work. I see that the former Golden View diner down the road a piece is now the Hanover Eatery after their remodeling job. . . . Middle school groundbreaking was on Monday, as they get that project moving right along. . . . Getting near primary election time, and signs of the candidates are going up everywhere. . . . Youngsters down at the U.C.C. church got a real treat the other day when they were given small birdhouses that Herbie Silfies made. It’s one of his hobbies, doing wood-making, even carving out miniature railroad cars, I hear. The birdhouses came complete with bird seed that Rev. Fran handed out. . . .

Phillies are doing better. Only wish I could see more of their games, but there’s a blackout on channels you can get. Oh well. . . .Yard work beckons, so I’ll cut outta here for now.

Have a great week!

On a cloudy day the sky Was bright…with smiles Moravian Hall Square Recreation and Enrichment staff waved one of their residents off into a cloudy sky on Thursday, April 18. Galilee House resident John Bob Herb, 94, was the recipient of the Wish for a Wishbone program at Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth. Although the sun didn’t make an appearance, the sky was bright with the smile on his face as he took to the air.

John Bob spent his life flying. As a 26-year-old waist gunner on the 8th Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress “Raider”, Staff Sergeant John R. Herb was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for “extraordinary achievement.”

This award came after he was involved in the first daylight mission over Berlin, Germany in World War II. His battalion was involved in more than 30 heavy bombing attacks on Nazi military and industrial

targets and in support of Allied ground forces.

Sgt. Herb is also a member of a group cited by President Franklin D. Roosevelt for its historic bombing of the Muhlenbau aircraft assem-

Comment On Sports

By Lance Dermont

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷

The Penn State Blue-White spring football game was held this past Saturday at Beaver Stadium in University park, Pa. The weather was definitely unpredictable with sun, sleet, clear skies, grey skies and a chilling wind.

Quarterbacks Steven Bench and Tyler Ferguson alternated as the starter but neither

was able to separate from the other. It looks like the quarterback competition will continue into the late summer and include freshman enrollee Christian Hackenberg.

Many starters didn’t play much or at all including Zach Zwinak, Glenn Carson, Allen Robinson and Mike Hull.

Standouts on offense included running backs Akeel Lynch and Deron Thompson.

Coach Bill O’Brien even had an open mic for an offensive series in the second half much to the delight of the 28,000 in attendance. It was a rare opportunity to hear a head coach direct his players.

Optimism looms for the Nittany Lions’ opener vs. Syracuse on Aug. 31.

Northampton Boys’ throwers Sweep Zephyr relays By: Donna DeCesaris Special to The Home News

On Saturday, April 6, 2013, 9 high schools from District 11 met at Whitehall High School for the Zephyr Relays. In a fete never achieved before, NHS took first in all 3 throwing events – Javelin, Discuss, and Shot Put. Each thrower had four attempts at each event and the 2 highest individual distances were added together for a final team distance. In Javelin, Kory DeCesaris (2) and Hunter Jackosky (5) threw a total of 300’4”. In Discus, DeCesaris (1) and Jarrett Fenon (5) threw a total of 239’2”.

In Shot Put, DeCesaris (1) and Fenon (3) threw a total of 95’7”. Each of the boys received first place medals for their accomplishments.

Overall, the boy’s team took 3rd behind Strouds-

burg and North Penn, two track and field powerhouses.

The boy’s hurdle relay team of Tim Kelly, Troy Oplinger, Blake Boehm and Jaren Bauer also took first with a time of 1:11.09. Erica Filipovits took first in the girl’s high jump with a jump of 5’2”.

Many of these athletes have already bettered these winning results at local meets since the relays and are looking forward to success in the post season.

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce Incorporates Bath Borough The Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the addition of Bath into the chamber name.

The decision was made at a recent Chamber of Commerce board retreat, of which Bob Fields, Bath Borough Council president, is a member. The decision passed with no opposition at the request of Bath Borough officials.

It is a natural fit, with the areas just four miles apart and with Nazareth and Bath Boroughs sharing a lot of history and similarities. The Nazareth Area Chamber has been active in the borough

for many years. Several of the current chamber board members own or represent businesses in the Bath Borough including Alexandria Manor, First Northern Bank, Bath Borough and State Representative Marcia Hahn. The Nazareth- Bath area chamber also awards a scholarship to a student living in the Bath zip code on an annual basis.

Most recently, a networking mixer was held at S. Seem Antiques with Daily Grind.

Bath Borough Council President Bob Fields stated, “With the merging of Nazareth/Bath Chamber of Com-

merce, we can only grow in service and membership. It is an honor to remain an independent Chamber, while maintaining individual attention to our members. We look forward to this partnership.”

Effectively immediately we will be referred to as “The Nazareth – Bath Area Chamber of Commerce”. For additional information please call the chamber office: 610-7599188 or the Bath Borough office at: 610-837-6525.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Ordinance provides for sale of $2.4 million in municipal bonds

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Northampton Borough Council on Thursday enacted an ordinance, which provides for the sale of $2,445,000 in tax-free municipal bonds.

They will provide funds, to be applied for and toward the refunding and a capital acquisition, construction and improvement project.

Gary A. Palcini of the financial consulting service Valco Capital, Ltd., Ligonier, Pa., explained how the bonds will be financed and noted terms for re-payment of the debt.

The project funds are to be used within three years and the bonds will be paid off in 2021. Papers were signed

by Borough Manager, Gene Zarayko, Council President John Yurish, and Mayor Tom Reenock, with solicitor William McCarthy attesting Atty. Thomas Smida of Mette, Evans & Woodside in Harrisburg also noted details.

While the project was not specified in connection with the municipal bonds, it was noted in Councilman Robert Coleman’s administration and finance committee report that in the very near future an application will be submitted to Northampton County for 2013 CDBG funding of $250,000 to install handicapped curbs along Laubach Ave. and upgrade

Fuzzy Wuzzy Went Away!

Do you get frustrated with small bumps on your wall when painting? Sometimes cheaper roller covers have a layer of fuzz that detaches from the cover, and the first time you load up the roller, the paint mixes with the fuzz and creates the bumps. Therefore, clean the roller cover before you start by wrapping some masking tape all the way around the cover.

As you pull the tape off, the excess fuzz will be pulled off along with it!

the storm sewer system. Laubach Ave. will be re-paved in the next year or two. However, in order to comply with federal regulations, consultant Victor Rodite has to go door to door in a survey to find out how many people live in their homes and what their level of income is.

Other Matters • Council denied a request for Wayne Krapf to install two curb cuts at 550 Howertown Rd. in Northampton, where he plans an office. Zarayko said an ordinance does not allow a newly paved road to be opened or altered for five years, and that road was paved this past year.

• Both Councilman Anthony Pristash and Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said residents are enthusiastic about a proposed uptown park, where the borough recently purchased lands of Nancy Novogratz and Brian Kroope

along Main Street. Settlement was held on April 11.

• Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Jr.. in his building, land and recreation report, noted that the community swimming pool season will start on June 1 and close on August 17. A crew of the public works department has completed painting the women’s and men’s rest rooms and the floors of the pool. Hochmiller Concrete will make some repairs to the pool prior to the crew recaulking all of the joints and painting it.

The Northampton Athletic Association will have its opening day on April 27 starting at 8:30 a.m. when Mayor Reenock will throw out the first pitch of the ball game.

Lopsonzski also reported that the recreation center will

have its final dance of the season on May 4 for 4th, 5th and 6th grade boys and girls between 6:30 and 9 p.m. Beginning May 10 and ending August 31, summer passes at the center will be available at a cost of $60 for residents and $90 for non-residents.

One sour note: After the park rest rooms were opened, a day later vandals smashed a urinal in the men’s rest room at the 26th St. playground.

• Councilman Pristash reported for Zarayko that at the next Council meeting on May 2 they will act on final plans for a 13-unit apartment complex in the former Tama Mfg. building at 1796 Main St. • Councilman Lopsonzski, Sr. reported that Health OfContinued on page 11

from birth to five years of age.

Northampton Area School District’s program for students from birth to 12 years will stress a comprehensive literacy plan, a writing transition plan, a literacy transaction plan, and a special education supplemental guide.

Dr. Ott said there is professional development for administrators and teachers from high school and birth to five years. 68% of them will complete their training in June 2013. Kovalchik, however, who has a dim view of grants, said that development is beyond what teachers are required to do.

A pre-kindergarten program was established in one year, with 20 students from this district, and it is modeled after Head Start with strong family engagement.

Dr. Ott told the board that the students have learned so much in 2012-13. Stress has been put on language and literacy development, math development, letter recognition/sounding out letters/ rhyming, and social development. She said when the toddlers enter kindergarten, “no problem.”

Other Items Ben Longacre gave the Student Council report. He announced that a Senior Citizen Prom will be held at the Northampton Community Center on May 5, charging $20 a person.

In personnel actions, the board approved: Reappointment of Terry Leh as board

secretary for a 4-year term; posting of current teachers for summer school; resignations of Theresa Barrall, 12-month secretary, for retirement and Janice Tanzola, 12-month head secretary for super-annuated retirement and Jerry Batcha as mock trial advisor.

Also approved: staff members for intramural programs at Siegfried Elementary, as follows: Craig Mogel, basketball advisor; Maria Turney and substitute Lynn Tepes as instructional assistants in basketball.

Paid childbearing leave for Courtney Schnyderite; listing of student summer help in 2013 at $7.25 an hour; and Ms. Levin and Officer Williams to accompany ten students in the overnight debriefing of Every 15 Minutes at the Days Inn. In financial items, the board okayed the audit fee of $27,400 with Gorman & Associates of Northampton to provide auditing services for the 2012-13 fiscal year of the general fund and public library; and addition ACCESS money not to exceed $22,000 to Invo HealthCare Associates for speech and language services at Col.

Pleasing God

The Bible says we were created to please God, “Thou hast created all things, and and for for thy thy pleasure pleasure they they are are and and were were created” created” (Revelation (Revelation 4:11).

4:11). Jesus Jesus said, said, “I “I do do always always those those things things that that please please him” him” (John (John 8:29).

8:29). To To understand understand what what pleases and displeases God, we must know what God tells us to do and not pleases and displeases God, we must know what God tells us to do and not to do. God has communicated this through “Thou shalt” and “Thou shalt to do.commands God has communicated through shalt” and “Thou shalt not” in the Bible so this all can read “Thou and obey them. not” commands Bible so allwalked can read and obey them.

In Genesis 5:24 in wethe read, “Enoch with God: and he was not; for God In Genesis 5:24 we11:5 read, “Enoch“before walkedhis with God: andhehehad wasthis not;testimofor God took him.” Hebrews explains translation ny, pleased11:5 God.” How did Enoch God?heThe tells tookthat him.”heHebrews explains “before hisplease translation hadnext thisverse testimous, “Without faith it is impossible please him.”God?

Proverbs tells us that God blesses “When a man's waysand please us, “Without faith 16:7 it is impossible to please him.”

Enoch had faith was the LORD,” and 1 16:7 Johntells 3:22ussays him, because we keep his obedient.

Proverbs that “We God receive blesses of “When a man's ways please commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” the LORD,” and 1 John 3:22 says “We receive of him, because we keep his As a youth, David pleased God, but as a king he became prideful and we read commandments, dothing thosethat things that pleasing in his sight.” in 2 Samuel 11:27,and “the David hadare done displeased the LORD.” As a had youth, David at pleased God,ofbut asten a king he became prideful andshalt we read David violated least two the commandments—“Thou not in 2 Samuel 11:27, thing thatnotDavid commit adultery” and“the “Thou shalt kill.” had done displeased the LORD.” Paul had preached pleasing through when he said, “ye David violated at least God two of the tenobedience commandments—“Thou shalthave not received of us how ought to walk and to please God…For ye know what commit adultery” andye “Thou shalt not kill.” commandments we gaveGod you through by the Lord Jesus.when For this is the of Paul preached pleasing obedience he said, “yewill have God…thatofyeusshould abstain fornication…For hath not called us received how ye oughtfrom to walk and to please God God…For ye know what unto uncleanness, but unto holiness” (1 Thessalonians 4:1-7). commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of Romans 8:8 states, “they that are in the flesh cannot please God.” God…that11:1 ye should abstain “When from fornication…For God hath not calledthe us Numbers is an example, the people complained, it displeased unto uncleanness, but unto holiness” (1 Thessalonians 4:1-7).

said, “On behalf of our borough officials, I extend good wishes and cooperation for a successful middle school project.” He traced the history of the school district and this area as far back as the 1700’s, and noted that East Allen Twsp. resident George Wolf became 7th Governor of Pennsylvania and founded the free school system. He said that with the growth of the cement industry in this area, a high school was needed and the first class graduated in 1902. The first junior high, as he knew it, was constructed in 1926 for $275,000.

The new building will be the first new structure the district has built in 43 years.

Pany said there has been a wonderful relationship between the school board and the superintendent. Graduates from Northampton have gone into high positions, but also have become plumbers and electricians serving in the community.

He called the new school “a new chapter of history in education, visions, progress and hope.”

Before the actual groundbreaking Kovalchik said he learned from Pany “common sense and caring for something” when he was one of his students.

The school directors, and those associated with the project all grabbed shovels with pride and enthusiasm, turning over the earth, appropriately on Earth Day.

“As the cornerstone of Pennsylvania’s economy and a way of life for more than 62,000 families, agriculture is important to Governor Tom Corbett,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig. “On his behalf, I thank the producers who are participating in this program. They’re ensuring that the state will remain an agriculture powerhouse for generations to come.”

News Sermonette Jim Snyder, Pastor Maranatha Family Christian Fellowship

Useful Knowledge

Knowledge has a way of making us proud. Knowing all the scores and stats gives me a place among the Mondaymorning quarterbacks. Understanding the processes that make a business successful grants me a reputation among my peers. Familiarizing myself with the news headlines opens doors for me in social situations. Even Bible knowledge that is used to prove my scripture prowess can lend to arrogance.

Paul wrote to the Christians in the city of Corinth who had a tendency to think like the rest of society: “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up” (1Corinthians 8:1).

Having all the answers can go to one’s head. If we’re not careful, even our hearts can be damaged by it.

Don’t get me wrong; knowledge is not a bad thing.

Solomon wrote: “Choose knowledge rather than choice gold” (Proverbs 8:10). Understanding how the body functions has helped thousands of hospital patients. Knowing how a gasoline engine works has aided mechanics in automobile repairs. During the year I worked for a pest control company I learned the patterns of hornets and wasps, which protected me from numerous potential encounters with the back ends of bees!

So where did we go wrong? Our accumulation of facts and our familiarity with tidbits of information has brought into the light a disturbing trend. For most of us, we have more knowledge than we know what to do with. Instead of ‘strutting our intellectual stuff,’ let’s train ourselves to ask a simple question: Lord, how can I use what I know? Or reworded: How can this knowledge help someone else? When I take the stuff I know and use it to help another human being, I move into unfamiliar territory. I begin to love. And the apostle Paul told the Ephesians that “love surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3:19).

Using knowledge is better than having knowledge. “If I…can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge…but not have love,” Paul writes, “I am nothing.” (1Corinthians 13:2) So, if you think you are more important than others because of what you know – if you imagine yourself indispensible because of the wardrobe in your intellectual closet or the equipment in your intellectual storage bin – get God’s perspective, and put your knowledge to use.

Serve someone else using what you know. You will be loving. And you will be something. Just ask Paul. ed on the zoning map. It will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and changed. . . .Zarayko announced that the

A Great Deck Makes The Backyard More Fun (NAPS)—If you’re like an increasing number of Americans at springtime, you’ve begun thinking about better weather and outdoor entertaining. One of the most popular ways to enjoy the season is making sure you have a great outdoor space.

For some 30 million American homes, this means a deck.

Why A Deck Here are three of the reasons why decks of all types are becoming so popular: 1. A deck adds to the value of your home. According to Remodeling magazine, you can expect about a 65 percent return on your investment.

2. New materials make decks more durable and easier to maintain.

3. Decks are the ideal goodweather entertainment space.

Add an outdoor grill, portable bar or hot tub and you have a party.

An option growing in popularity is the use of composite decking materials instead of wood. In fact, today’s composite decking manufacturers can simulate the look of many exotic hardwoods.

Modern composite decking and railing are now as beautiful as real wood, with the added benefits of durability and low maintenance—unlike wood decks that require backbreaking staining every year or two, composites keep their beauty for decades. Plus, composite decking and railing means absolutely no splinters, twisting or warping, and resis­tance to scratches, mold and stains. Not even any nail or screw heads to catch bare feet.

One composite decking and railing company, Fiberon, makes all its decking in America with sustainable practices.

NORTHERN ROOFING & SIDING

The manufacturing process captures 98.5 percent of waste materials. And 40,000 tons of wood and plastic are kept out of landfills. There’s also a 25-year stain and fade limited warranty on some lines.

Fiberon decking and railing comes in multiple colors and profile options so your deck can be completely customized.

The Fiberon Deck Design Idea Tool lets you pick the colors, styles and products for your dream deck and then save the selections or share them via email with family and friends.

Special Promotion - To help people get started, the company will give away $5,000 in decking products to one lucky homeowner per month for four months, through July.

Learn More facts and tips at www.fiberondecking.com or call (800) 573-8841.

A deck can be a special oasis for your home.
