Bath Easter egg hunt Huge success
Another great turn out for the annual Easter egg hunt here in Bath. The weather was cold and wet but the egg hunt went off great. It started with the Easter bunny arriving on the Bath fire engine. The kids and parents were lined up around the parking lot ready to hunt for their eggs, and they had a great time. The scouts also did a good job of organizing the hunt.
Winners in the age groups were: Ages 1-3 #1 Brian Gold- #2 Tanner Heckman- #3 Brooke Dahlgren Ages 4-6 #1 Sally Milisits#2 Ezekiel Spenser- #3 Elias Spenser Ages 7-9 #1 Jarred Barno- #2 Anthony Arlisio- #3 Katie Kocher Ages 10-12 #1 Ricky Brieo-
#2 Dominick Heller- #3 Abigal Newcomb George Ahart would like to thank the Brownie Troop 8606-Junior Troop 8219-Cadette Troop 8542-Boy Scout Troop 33 and Cub Pack Troop 33. Also a big thank you to Deb Corey and the Easter bunny and to all the parents of the scouts who helped make it a wonderful Easter egg hunt. Ahart would also like to thank the local businesses that donated to the hunt: First Star Bank, First Northern Bank, Town and Country Restaurant and Bath Drug, and all the vendors that donated snacks and drinks and prizes for the kids. A big thank you to Mr. Ahart for donating the eggs, baskets, candy and prizes for the hunt.
Northampton man dies In head-on Rt. 248 crash

Bath Borough Council devoted much discussion to the parking lot on W. Northampton St. on Monday night. It was brought up because of a request by the new owners of a pizzeria for parking spaces for their customers. The business, Pizza Partners, LLC, is remodeling the former Fortunato’s Restaurant, which closed after flooding this past summer. While Fortunato’s had six spaces and others were available for parking, the new owners would like 20 spaces. Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts questioned why, when, as a neighbor across the creek, she said all the six spaces
were never filled. Councilman Mike Reph said all 20 spaces can be rented, even if for one business or anyone else. The annual rental fee is $225 per space. Councilman John Kearns said the pizzeria should be able to rent as many as are available. Ones that are not rented would be open to the public with a time limit of two hours. Councilwoman Jennifer George said all the lots should not be going to one business, but should be available to multiple businesses and the public. Council president Robert Fields pointed out that the parking lot was paid with taxpayer dollars.
Acting Borough Manager Gerald Gazda will check with the pizza people on what they may reasonably require, depending on the number of seats in the restaurant. That was a question posed by Ms. George, if zoning requires so many parking spaces per seats in the restaurant. Other Matters • Council okayed a resolution for the Historical Architectural Review Board (H.A.R.B.) on certificates of appropriateness for property modifications in two zones of the historic district. • Solicitor Blake Marles said there is $5-million “in the pot” for grants, money that could be available in the DCED’s Continued on page 7
Rails to Trails may be Abandoned in Lehigh Tp.
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
After an hour and a half of discussion that first enumerated benefits of a recreational trail and then evolved into numerous concerns by residents about it, the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, March 27 voted 3-2 to “stop any work on Lehigh Township railroad beds by the Rails to Trails committee until they have a written agreement with any landowners it would affect.” Voting for the motion were chairman Darryl Snover, Keith Hantz and Dell Grove, and against it, Supervisors
Sandy Hopkins and Cindy Miller. Introduced by the R-T committee chairwoman, Meg Schell, a committee member, Barry Shabbick, first of all set the record straight, that they’ve not been doing anything behind closed doors and that as a group of volunteers they have no right of eminent domain concerning people’s properties. He told the residents filling the meeting room that they want to use township-owned land and make it a place of leisure, and railroad beds which go in a straight line made it very suitable for a trail.
BARRY SHABBICK As an example, Shabbick told them to go down to Ironton and see that project. “It was developed over a period of time, and even though it goes through backyards, it is Continued on page 9
west of Indian Trail Park along Rt. 248 (Lehigh Drive). Lehigh Township Police were dispatched to the crash at 12:02 p.m. A grey GMC Sonoma truck driven by Robert Hodes, 74, of Northampton, that was headed east in the 3900 block of Rt. 248 traveled into the westbound lane and struck a purple Chevrolet Malibu driven by Candy Behler, 47, of Slatington, according to police. Hodes was pronounced Continued on page 13
SATURDAY was a dark and cloudy day, with sprinkles of rain, and as one mother said, “The weather kept the crowd down, but the kids are having fun.” In these two scenes, 12-year-old Gene Kiss of Northampton won a fishing reel and had some nice trout. Five cousins from Seemsville had three trout that measured 19 and 18 inches among their catches. The youngsters included Lilly Miller, 8; Emma Miller, 5; Calin Kish, 4; Michael Miller, 3, and Caden Kish, 2. – Home News photos

Opinion Truth Begets Justice
By Joe Korba It’s happening again, another case of sensationalism, irresponsibility and howling anger. I’m, of course, talking about the way the media has handled the tragic shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Note, I didn’t say murder of Trayvon. It’s unethical for me, a writer, or anyone else that shapes public opinion, including media personalities like Al Sharpton or Rush Limbaugh, to throw baseless claims around. This is especially true when the stakes are so high and the issues so important. I don’t know what happened that rainy day in Florida when the trajectories of two human beings fatefully culminated in a deadly confrontation. Whether it was self-defense or some other
insidious motivation that caused 28-year-old George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, to pull the trigger is now in the hands of investigators. The fact that a teenager is dead for seemingly doing nothing more than looking suspicious is tragic. The initial public outrage was understandable and actually did accomplish something; the Florida DA and federal authorities are now investigating the incident. Unlike the media or the countless talking heads that claim to have some sort of truth while just stoking the flames, the professional investigators have objective facts like crime scene evidence, witness interviews, and countless other tools that detectives use to solve crimes. We need to let this be investigated as a potential crime and accept the findings of those with the facts on their side, political nonsense be damned. That’s what justice is in America, not gut instinct rage or political pandering. It’s important for journalists to speak truth to power, to question injustice, to try to find those objective facts that are so elusive. I’d like to think that’s why most of us got into this gig. When Mr. Zimmer-

man walked following a short police interview after the shooting the outrage that followed was a legitimate news story. However, the print and broadcast reporters inciting rage for weeks afterward is simple sensationalism. Without facts these reports are speculation and speculation is not journalism. The danger of what I like to call the Nancy Grace-ification of the media; personal, biased outrage presented to the public as news is that it cheapens the discourse. Without rational discussion we can never cut to the heart of the matter. Maybe we do need to do more soul searching about race relations or about the controversial selfdefense laws in some states, but you’d never know it with all the teeth gnashing and baseless accusations on both the left and the right. I hope calm, rational thought prevails but I have little faith that it will. Whether Mr. Zimmerman is eventually charged or exonerated of wrongdoing, the race baiters and professional rage-mongers will be there to stir the pot. For me, I’m going to wait for the facts to come out to judge a man guilty of murder. Accusing someone of unjustly taking a life is not to be taken lightly. Until facts, rationality, and reasonable thought prevail there will be no real justice for Trayvon Martin.

the Fence GabGab OverOver the Fence by Pete G. Ossip by Pete G. Ossip
Wouldn’t you know it? Days and weeks of sunshine and no rain, and along comes fishing season and the Easter egg hunt and it rains. It wasn’t enough to stop fishing, but it just made things a little damp and dreary. The creek was really low for fishing, though, after the long dry spell, and the trout that the Bath
Area Fish Committee put in on Friday swam to the deepest part of the waters they could find. I hear the youngsters who came out did great and caught lots of trout. Hats off to the committee for another great job in putting the fishing contest together. I heard they gave out some nice prizes to the kids. . . . The egg hunt was held
then on Saturday in Bath. Seemed like it might hafta wait until Sunday. That’s what happened in Northampton. . . . With it being so dry, it’s never a good idea to do any burning of rubbish outside, so even if it’s allowed other times, don’t do it now. It was real windy on Monday and if there would be any sparks they’d be fanned into a big fire in short order. . . Palm Sunday was celebrated to start this Holy Week, and it will be Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and finally Easter Sunday morning. Churches will, or should, be filled on Easter for one or two or three services. I hope the weather is nice, and the forecast is that it’s supposed to be sunny and not too cool, so that’s good news. Long ago, the gals all wore fancy bonnets on Easter Sunday, and today some hats are seen, but not nearly as much. Maybe the gals will go through their belongings up in the attic and find one they wore years ago and show it off on Sunday. . . . Elmira and Pete usta go to the dawn services, but I don’t take kindly to getting up with the chickens anymore, so I think I’ll convince my gal to make it the later service. . . .Ahart’s and the scouts had their community egg hunt, and there will be others this weekend, no doubt. Some families have a great time hiding
THE HOME NEWS eggs around the house or out in the backyard so the kids can have some extra fun. . . . The real baseball season starts this week, so there are high hopes by all the teams. With all the changes made over the time since last season, anything can happen, so it should be interesting. No matter what it says on paper, it’s what happens down on the field between the lines that matters. . . . March Madness finally ended on Mon-
April 5-11, 2012
day. I’m penning this ahead of time, but I predict Kentucky, even though Kansas had a great basketball team, too. . . . Do you think it’s safe to say we’re not gonna get any more snow? We’ve had it into April in the past. I reckon the folks who put up those rods to tell where snow is when plowing can take ‘em down. Just cross your fingers first. . . . As Bugs Bunny says, “That’s all, folks!” Have a Happy Easter!!!

Pennsylvania’s new Bike safety law In effect
A law that sets new rules for Pennsylvania motorists to follow when encountering a bicyclist took effect on Monday, April 2. The law, designed to improve safety and traffic flow, was signed by Governor Tom Corbett on Feb. 2. The new law requires motorists to leave a 4-foot “cushion of safety” when passing a bicyclist. To achieve this cushion, drivers may cross a roadway’s center line when passing a bicycle on the left, but only when opposing traffic allows. Drivers attempting to turn left must also yield the right of way to bicycle riders traveling in the opposite direction. “The differential in speed is the biggest safety challenge with motor vehicles and bicycles sharing our state’s roadways,” said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch.“I urge all drivers and cyclists to learn the rules of the road to better share our highways and make travel safer for all.”
On Saturday, April 14, the annual tack swap or “equine garage sale” will be held at the Northampton County 4-H Center in Bushkill Twsp. The tack swap will be held from 11 am - 2 pm. The public is invited to attend.

The new law also calls for bicycle riders to use all reasonable efforts to avoid impeding the normal flow of traffic. When there is only one travel lane, bicyclists may use any portion of the lane to avoid hazards on the roadway, including maintaining a safe distance from stopped and parked cars. As always, bicyclists and motorists should obey all traffic signs and signals. PennDOT also recommends bicyclists always ride predictably and signal their intentions before proceeding so that motorists have a chance to react. For more information on bicycling safety, visit www.

Outdoors :: By “Hobby”
Federation Members Hear About Deer at Convention Banquet Following day-long meetings with the game, fish and boat, firearms, and conservation committees, delegates and other members of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs and their spouses settled down to a banquet this past Saturday night, March 24 in Scranton’s Hilton Hotel. Featured speaker was Kip Adams, a biologist for the Quality Deer Management Association. Deer management is always a hot topic with sportsmen and they try to learn all they can how and why the Pa. Game Commission does this or that to keep the deer herd in balance. Adams said that four times more hunters hunt deer than any other species of wildlife. And they spent 3% of the $57-billion of the money that went into hunting across these United States last year. He went on to note that 50% of the bucks shot in Pennsylvania are 1-1/2 years old, and showed graphs of other age groups shot elsewhere. Texas with 3.3-million hunters shoot the most antlered deer, followed by hunters in Georgia, Alabama and Pennsylvania. The buck kill in this state in 2010 was 122,190 compared to 100,330 in 2009, while doe decreased in 2010, 193,330, from the 2009 total of 200,309. Adams said hunters contribute billions to the economy with the rifles, ammunition and other gear they buy, along with eating 1.2 billion meals. He had the good news that Northampton County WCO Brad Kreider continues to bring, that chronic wasting disease has not hit the deer population in Pennsylvania, although CWD is in states just adjacent to us.
KIP ADAMS More About Sessions Briefly, here is some of the information learned during the day: FISH & BOAT – Less than 10% of anglers buy their fishing licenses five years in a row. . . .There is a bill in the Legislature on increasing penalties for fishing and boating violations. H.B. 1417 makes penalties consistent for violations that Waterways Conservation Officers find. . . .In fisheries management, both a walleye and musky plan have been worked on by the PFBC. . . .There were changes made in trout stocking this year. . . .Increasing the flow from the Beltzville Dam could extend the cold water fishery. . . .890 kids in 15 schools were reached in the Shad in Schools program. As noted last week, the Delaware River Shad Fishermen Assn. resolution passed. John Berry told the committee, “We don’t want the shad, Pennsylvania’s founding fish, to become forgotten.” In the early 1900’s, there were 19 million lbs. of

shad in the Delaware River. . . .Bald eagles and otter feed their young on shad, while pike, muskies and other big fish prey on the fingerlings. . . .Pa. Fish & Boat Commission was chartered in 1866 to protect the shad. . . .43% of sportsmen in Pa. live here in the eastern part of the state, but get only 25% of the resources. . . .There is a grant to do studies about the fish passageways and dams on the Lehigh River, but rock rapids are being considered over taking out the dams. . . .There is agreement on off-shore accountability that would cut back on the number of shad taken in the ocean. GAME – Mentored youth and elderly hunters are using crossbows because of not being able to pull back on a regular bow, PGC Executive Director Carl Roe said. . . .In answer to a sportsman, he said WCO’s are in the woods, even though sometimes they are accused of disturbing the hunt. They go in the woods when there is probable suspicion of a Game Law violation. . . .There was much discussion about the D-Map. FIREARMS – Chairman Mike Protz said the 2nd Amendment gives us the right to keep and bear arms. . . .He urged the delegates to ask Senators and Representatives, why was the shipment of M-1 Carbines from South Korea stored in a Washington, D.C. warehouse and not made available to the NRA and responsible gun owners? . . . .On May 8, a 2nd Amendment rally will be held in Harrisburg at the Capitol Rotunda. CONSERVATION – Winning posters were displayed that school children had drawn about the environment. AWARDS Committee will present an award to the Landowner of the Year at the fall convention in Johnstown. . . .The Hall of Fame award will be presented at next year’s spring convention.

It would have required a sponsoring organization to pay $300, plus be responsible for disposal of all waste, along with supplying water, and fire and police protection. The circus people said an organization could earn $4,000 to $5,000. • A proposed dumpster screening ordinance draft will be reviewed by Council to be used for local businesses. • An ordinance that regulates signs is also being considered. One of the regulations concerns banners, and under terms of the proposal the banners would be classified as temporary and could only be up twice a year for 30 days at a time. Promotional events banners could be up three weeks ahead of an event, but would need to be taken down within 10 days. • Fields reported that FEMA will be giving a reim-

remarkably maintained. People feel it is an advantage to their own properties. People stroll, kids walk and run. They greet each other. That’s what we want to have here.” Shabbick said, “We’re trying to re-create what hasn’t existed for 100 years. The land is not being used and we want to improve the community. Adults don’t play organized sports. Here they would have a place to walk, and it costs you nothing.” He said the committee has been doing a little at a time, very slowly. All they had money for was to pay for a survey. “Let us develop, do something worthwhile, and at no cost to the township. . . .no lights, no racing – just a quiet place to relax.” Hantz recalled what he thought was a master plan by Sean Billings back in 2004. This committee has been around for about four years. Snover said he “loves the concept,” but said the committee “should reach out and try to develop a relationship with the landowners,” noting that there was handshaking and inter-action in the Ironton project. Shabbick said “No one on the committee has anything to do with land development. We’re not in a position to offer anything at this point, but we’re getting better at networking.” Hantz said the proposed trail is about a half mile between S. Quince Rd. and Wood Drive, and has no park-

ing lot. “Where are people going to park? They will park on private property.” He also noted a rifle range on both sides of the trail, saying if people were encouraged to walk, they would be in danger. “I do enjoy trails,” he said, “but we shouldn’t allow anything to be done on that property. It’s an unsafe condition.” In support of the trail, Mrs. Miller asked, “Where can Rails to Trails go? There’s nothing here for adults and families to do, other than organized sports. This township gave them the right to organize. Give them an area, and let them see what they can do.” Hantz suggested 43 acres at Delps Park. One resident noted people can walk around a track at the soccer fields for exercising. Mrs. Miller told him, “I’m a runner. Around a track, it’s exercise. There are a lot of people who like to walk.” Another person suggested the Appalachian Trail, discounting people’s backyards, and noted the danger of blind roads that lead to the proposed trail. It was noted that there is a plan on a website, and one man praised what the committee is trying to do. Snover said the committee should go around and meet the landowners and come to an agreement. The railroad bed that they are trying to use was abandoned in 1930. “I feel that people are concerned about something being done to their land. It’s on their [R-T] shoulders.”

MEG SCHELL “The township is not spending any money, but if the committee and landowners come to an agreement, then there’s something to talk about.” Mrs. Schell said, “When we have money and a plan, then we’ll come and sit down with you. Certainly your private property is yours, but our problem is money.” She said it takes times to get grants, about 50 hours, and that most members work full time and are volunteers. One man wanted the name of the railroad bed, saying there would be no trail by his place, that it’s filled with debris and cigarette butts. Then one of the property owners started questioning minutes of Nov. 14, 2011, and giving his version of what solicitor David Backenstoe said about easements. Backenstoe made it clear that he would not render an opinion, that it was about a perpetual
exclusive easement, and that no one could pave it or alter it without written consent of the township and the two property owners (Szoke and Grube). It was noted again that R-T would have to come to an agreement with them before they go to the township. Grove, at that point, wanted closure to the heated issue of at least three meetings. Then came the vote on Hantz’s motion. Change in Plans The R-T committee had this statement: “Due to opposition by some residents of Lehigh Township and a lack of support by township supervisors, members of the Lehigh Township Rails to Trails committee will be moving on and supporting other area rail-trail organizations, where their efforts are more likely to be appreciated. The group will also be redefining their mission. “Flower vouchers for Hick-

Nazareth H.S. Advances to State Mock trial title
Nazareth High School and Scranton Preparatory School were two of the 12 Pennsylvania high schools that advanced to the 29th Annual Pennsylvania Bar Association Statewide High School Mock Trial Competition on March 30 and 31, at the Dauphin County Courthouse in Harrisburg. The winning team of the state championship will represent Pennsylvania in the National High School Mock Trial Championship in Albuquerque, New Mexico in early May. The Nazareth High School Mock Trial Team is composed of Devon Clifton, Ashley Edwards, Katie Fritchman, Teressa Hamsher, Meredith Heckman, Jennifer Paez, Matthew Rohn and Adam Smith. The teacher coach is Patricia Cunningham. The attorney advisor is Gary Brienza. Nazareth High School and Scranton Preparatory School are moving on to the state level as winners of the Region Five area of competition that includes schools in Bradford, Berks, Carbon, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe, Northampton, Pike, Schuylkill, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties. This year, 327 teams from 283 high schools competed in district and regional levels of Pennsylvania's mock trial competition in hopes of gaining one of the 12 spots at the statewide competition. Pennsylvania's competition is one of the largest in the nation. "The ability to work together as a team, to clearly communicate and to analyze challenging legal issues are the skills needed to rise to the top levels of this statewide competition," said Hope Guy of Pittsburgh, chair of the association's Young Lawyers Division. "Congratulations to the participating students and a big thank-you to their teacher coaches and lawyer advisors who prepared the students for what will be one of the most exciting academic challenges of their high school careers." This year's hypothetical trial case was a civil action in which a plaintiff seeks to prevent the expansion of a pharmaceutical plant in a location where an endangered species is alleged to have been found. The case was written by Jonathan A. Grode of Philadelphia and Paul W. Kaufman of Philadelphia. Jane E. Meyer of Harrisburg edited the final version of the case in collaboration with Grode and Kaufman. During the competition, eight-member student teams were given the opportunity to argue both sides of the case in an actual courtroom before a judge. The students, who play the roles of lawyers, witnesses, plaintiffs and defenContinued on page 11

Holy Week
Just the other day I thought about Christmas. Now you may be wondering why I’m thinking of Christmas when it is almost Easter. Well, what struck me was that there are so many people who celebrate Christmas and never bother to go to church on Christmas Eve. I, personally, cannot imagine NOT going to church as we celebrate the birth of the Christ Child – after all, that’s the reason for the holiday in the first place. Although I love gifts and decorations and cookies - I love even more that God chose to come and be among us – chose to be one OF us. And then I began to think about Holy Week and Easter and realized that exactly the same thing happens with this holiday. We color our eggs, buy chocolate for baskets, attend Easter egg hunts and forget about Holy Week and Easter. Many folks never attend church at all from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. Others pop in to sing “alleluia” on Easter Sunday. And an even smaller number come to worship on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. I, personally, cannot imagine NOT going to church on these days as we prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. After all, if we never observe Jesus’ death it is pretty hard to celebrate the fact that he rose! Although I love the egg hunts and the chocolate and the bunnies, I love even more that the child who was born on Christmas day and became one of us died on a cross on Good Friday so that you and I will know God’s love, God’s forgiveness and God’s promise of eternal life that we celebrate on Easter Sunday. So this year, if you don’t do it already, take time to be in worship during Holy Week. Take time to walk through the experience of Jesus riding triumphantly into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, washing the feet of his disciples on Maundy Thursday, being nailed to a cross and dying a painful death on Good Friday and singing, once again, the bold, bright “alleluia” of “Christ is Risen” on Easter Sunday. The Home News provides a listing of local congregations where you might worship this holy season. airing statewide on April 6 at 7 p.m., April 7 at 10 p.m. and April 8 at 2 p.m. The Pennsylvania Bar Foundation, the charitable affiliate of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, is providing funding support for the broadcast.
