PSATS supports plan to improve Roads, bridges, mass transit
The Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors is throwing its support behind a multibillion-dollar plan, proposed by the governor’s Transportation Funding Advisory Commission, that takes a common-sense, networkwide approach to repairing the commonwealth’s roads, bridges, and mass transit systems.

In what had to be a new record, the Northampton Area School Board transacted all of its business in 20 minutes Monday night. They did it with four members present, and since a quorum of five is necessary, a fifth member voted electronically over the speaker phone. Vice President Jean Rundle presided, and present with her were directors Robert Koch, Geraldine Skrapits and Judy Odenwelder. Cory Fenstermaker, Brett Reichelderfer, Jane Erdo, Darin Arthofer and David Gogel were absent. Arthofer acknowledged each item as it came up and voted along with the four members present. In one action, Maria Rossillo was approved to serve as Assistant Principal for the Northampton Borough Elementary School, effective January 2, 2012. Her salary will be
$70,000, pro-rated, with benefits, in accordance with the Act 93 agreement. She was welcomed by each of the directors on Monday. Schools Superintendent Joseph Kovalchuk announced that Thursday, Sept. 1 will be the first day of school for the 2011-2012 school year. And in an effort to save on costs, the new school calendars will be handed out that day and not mailed, as was the previous practice. He noted with pride the fact that all the schools in the Northampton Area School District made Adequate Yearly Progress (ADP), the first time since the 2000-2001 school year. “It’s a cause for celebration,” he said. Other announcements he made: This Wednesday was the annual data retreat for analyzing scores on student achievement. And on Tuesday, August 16 the East Allen Township zoning hearing
in Pennsylvania’s transportation system; it listened to local government; it treated municipalities as partners; and it responded with a doable, long-term solution that is going to put the commonwealth’s transportation system back on the road to recovery,” PSATS Executive Director David M. Sanko said. The commission’s plan, to be phased in over the next five years, would eventually provide municipalities with around $400 million annually
for local transportation projects. The panel has recommended that the state raise the money by indexing outdated license and registration fees, uncapping the oil company franchise tax, shifting partial funding for the State Police to the General Fund, modernizing vehicle inspection and registration requirements, and consolidating mass transit programs and services.

Unlucky Hoover The most ill fated U.S. president in the last century was the 31st--Herbert Hoover, born on the 10th of this month in West Branch, Iowa, 1874. Few if any of this country’s presidents have had such a varied career. After his mother and father died, Hoover moved to Oregon, where he graduated from college. During one summer he worked in Arkansas with surveyors. He moved to Nevada and worked in the mines. At age 24 he went to Australia to work in a gold mine. From there he found work in China. He continued to move from country to country and in 1914 was living in London, when World War I began. He went to Belgium to help starving people and after the war worked in Germany helping desperate Germans. He was famous when he came back to the U.S. and President Harding took him into his cabinet as his secretary of commerce. In 1928 he became the G.O.P. nominee for president and was elected. His grim fate came early--in his very first year in the White House--the Great Depression began. He, nor anyone else, could do much about it, and he was easily defeated in 1932-by Franklin Roosevelt.

“See, there are two kinds of people in this world, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig,” said Clint Eastwood playing the part of “Blondie” in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. “That’s the world economy today,” said financial historian Mark Steyn quoting the film as a metaphor for the status of world governments today. “There are those with loaded [financial] guns, by which I mean sovereign wealth funds, countries with large surpluses [e.g., China, Singapore, some of the Gulf states, Norway] and there are those who dig. In other words, there are those countries that have got themselves into a real debt crisis. Actually, the simplest way to get out of that hole is not to dig in terms of taxing and spending. The simplest way is to find the treasure and give it to Blondie [creditor nations].” The treasure, according to Steyn, is assets owned by the U.S. federal government. He suggests selling them to pay off the deficit. Take a look at a map of the western United States. The federal government owns much of the acreage: 85 percent of Nevada, 69 percent of Alaska, 37 percent of Colorado, etc. And that’s not all; consider the 3.34 billion square feet of building assets the federal government owns or leases (e.g., offices, warehouses, family housing, hospitals, laboratories, schools). “The federal government is the largest property owner and energy user in the United States and thus holds a unique responsibility for maintaining its real property assets, as well as managing the taxpayer dollars needed for the operation of its assets,” states the 2009 Federal Real Property Report. And we’ve got thousands of miles of highway systems that could generate cash flow via lease arrangements. Imagine you’re deep in debt to your local bank and that you and your family are in jeopardy of losing your home. After months of negotiating extensions, the bank says you and your family have come to the end of the line. It’s time to pay up. Then you remember that rare coin collection in your attic. What do you do? Borrow more money? No, you dig out your coin collection, sell it, and pay Blondie.

Letters from our Readers Thanks for Helping Injured Son; Needs Contact with Eye Witness To the Editor: A Thank-you to the people of Northampton County for stopping and helping our son in a time of need. On June 4, 2011 our son John was involved in a serious car accident in Bath. John and a good friend, both recent graduates from Juniata College, and now attending Temple University School of Medicine, had just completed an apartment hunting trip in Philadelphia. After dropping off his friend in Schnecksville, Pa., John was heading home to upstate New York. He was traveling north on Rt. 512 passing through Northampton County and Bath. At the intersection of Rt. 512 and Yost Road another driver failed to stop for a stop sign and drove through an intersection with

Rt. 512 causing a serious accident. We have been told that a number of people immediately stopped to offer assistance. Our son was in shock from the impact and people quickly came to his aid. People in the other vehicle were also injured and the community assisted them, too. The police were called as well as an ambulance. Klecknersville EMS arrived and our son was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital’s trauma unit where he was admitted. John suffered a perforation to his intestines, which required surgery to remove a portion of his small intestine and a 12-day hospital stay. In light of how bad his injuries were, we are grateful that he received such quick help and support. He is still recovering but attending school as planned. This situation is a Continued on page 3

Here we are in the second week of August already, and summer’s winding down. It won’t be long before schools open and the kids get back to their reading, writing and arithmetic, and all the other studies they have these days. Ye Ed tells me that September 1st is the day. . . . Dave Gogel is spending his time on a vacation up in Alaska. It’s really nice up there at this time of the year. . . . That was some fire up in Plainfield Township with the plastics factory. Smoke could be seen for miles, and they needed an awful lot of volunteer fire companies to put it out. . . .That fire reminded me of the big ones in town many years ago when H&R Plastics and the Cast Metal blazes erupted. . . . I see the weather folks are predicting another perfect day for the farmers market on Friday. Glad to hear that ‘cause they put a lotta work into setting up tents and the stands for their goods. . . . Phillies got by the Giants better than expected, and are now taking on the Dodgers. I hope they go all the way, and get in and win the World Series again. Bosox took care of those Yankees the other night. . . . The IronPigs are tied for first place as this was written.
I see “Fe Fe” from the IronPigs will be in town this Saturday for the ribbon cutting celebration of the 275th Bath Anniversary store out at E. Main & Washington Streets. It will be at 10:00 in the morning last I heard. . . . John Meyers and the claybird shooting team that won a championship will be celebrating with a thank-you picnic out at Hazleton this Saturday, too. . . . Hear tell the Bath Lions will be listening for “Bingo!” when they have a stand down at the Muhlenberg Hospital festival next Wednesday through Saturday down Bethlehem way. . . . Speaking about Bethlehem, it’s been kinda quiet around the old berg this week, as folks have their walking shoes on for the big Musikfest down in Bethlehem. These old feet can’t hack the walking like that anymore, but it sure was nice to hear all the music, have plenty of good foods to eat, and even watch the “Chicken Lady”. Wonder if she’s around anymore? . . . . There was a big celebration up at Becky’s Drive-In at Berlinsville on Sunday as there was a welcome home party for an Air Force Staff Sergeant back home from Iraq. It’s good to see that we honor our troops that way. . . . Saw in last PA003267

We will ship care packages, provide funds for the families of injured soldiers to travel, assist veterans in financial crisis, sponsor Christmas parties for the children of deployed military (complete with Santa and presents), hold welcome home parties for returning troops, and community outreach. Registration opens at 11:30

The Bertsch-Hokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed Association, in partnership with the Wildlands Conservancy, invites the public to “Bike & Boat” the Lehigh River on Saturday, August 20. Program participants will meet in the parking lot at Sand Island in Bethlehem, near the green bike trailer, at 2:00pm for this four- to fivehour, guided, round-trip bicycle and canoe adventure. Come experience the beauty and excitement of the Lehigh, while learning about the natural and cultural history of the Lehigh Valley’s namesake river. Registration is $35 per person and is open to adults and children at least 10 years of age. The deadline to register is August 17. Registration and payment is required before the August 20 program. From Sand Island in Beth-
lehem, participants will bike along the Lehigh Canal Towpath upriver 4.5 miles to Canal Park in Allentown. From there, we’ll switch to twoperson canoes and paddle the 4.5 miles downriver, back to Sand Island. The bike trail is flat, wide and well-surfaced for bike riding. And the river is easy to navigate, with sections of slow moving water and gentle riffles that provide the excitement of canoeing on a river! It’s not unusual to see abundant wildlife, like herons, hawks, osprey, deer and turkey in a setting of surprising natural beauty. Bikes, helmets, canoes, paddles, personal floatation devices (life jackets), naturalist instructors and water safety officers will all be provided. Participants should bring food, plenty of water, sunscreen and a change of

Game Commission Officer Reports to County Federation Each month, when the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs has its meetings, conservation officers from the Pa. Game Commission (Brad Kreider) and Pa. Fish & Boat Commission (Jeff Sabo) report the latest information at hand on what’s going on with those agencies and for the state’s sportsmen and women. At the July meeting, Kreider noted a mentored hunting bill that was signed by Governor Corbett, who when he held another state office was a regular attendee at PFSC conventions . He also reported on a PGC waterfowl briefing in Harrisburg this month. . . .West Nile Virus from mosquitos is rampant, but thank goodness there’s no sign of chronic wasting disease in
Pennsylvania’s deer and elk herds. . . . Northampton County has four active nests of Bald Eagles. . . . Each county WCO has been asked to collect five raccoons for study by a state biologist on ringworm. Kreider also mentioned the Sunday hunting bill, which if passed would have the PGC setting regulations. But presently under Title 34, Sunday hunting is prohibited except for crows. State Representative Marcia Hahn is planning a meeting, probably in the fall at a local club, to discuss the topic of Sunday hunting. As noted, the sportsmen are split on it, but only favor it on State Game Lands, fearing farmers would put up “No Trespassing” signs more if the law went into effect. Sabo wasn’t present at the recent meeting in Keystone Rod & Gun Club, but the two WCO’s are expected to attend when the Federation meets on August 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the Lower Mt. Bethel Visitors Center near Riverton, east of Rt. 611. The Federation Board of Directors will be meeting on Friday, Aug. 19 when the Northampton County Junior Conservation School has its awards night at Blue Mountain Fish & Game, Danielsville. The fall PFSC convention will be Sept. 16-18 at the Radisson Harrisburg Hotel in Camp Hill. Usually, agency reports are heard from on the Saturday of the convention., It will be different this time. They will be given on Friday so that the Pennsylvania Outdoors Forum on Marcellus Development and Penn’s Woods will held all day (9 to 3) Saturday.

Other Matters • While Chairman Maynard Campbell recommended a binder course on S. Penn-Dixie Rd., secretarytreasurer Richard Gable said there are other roads in more serious need. Vice Chairman Loris Cacciola said the township should work on most of the roads, notably Kern Rd. and Glaze Rd. Kern Rd. stones wash out and Rabbit Rd. needs work. Both are dirt roads, which the board noted
run up endless costs for labor and materials. In the end, the board voted to use recycled material for Kern Rd. and roll it at a cost of $10,000. PennDixie Rd. work could have cost about $65,000. • A pipe and swale on Woodstone Drive were noted as a condition of storm drainage that is a problem. Engineer Al Kortze said there is a blockage on the swale and pipe with brush and small trees. Rodney Jarinko, a homeowner in the area, said if all the property owners cooperate, the problem can be solved. Kortze said the de-

bris comes in and is clogged in the corregated pipe, and it would be better if the pipe is replaced with plastic or concrete. Easements wouldn’t be needed, Backenstoe said, because the pipe is under the township road. Gable will arrange a meeting of the property owners and engineer to work out a solution. • Letters are being sent out to home-owners who have not complied with the ordinance that requires reflective numbered signs in front of their properties. The deadline had been May 31 and has been extended to July 31, but after that, all who have not placed the signs are subject to a $300 fine. ”It’s all for your benefit,” Gable said, “so that the fire department, police or ambulance people can find you [in an emergency].” Edwin Keller, owner of the Copella Store, said he sold close to 900 signs, even though about 60% of the people were upset about it. He said a state trooper told him that he relies on the reflective numbers more than GPS. • It was revealed that Aqua Water Co. will be doing a $430,000 infrastructure improvement project at Evanwood to improve water flow for the properties in that development off Rt. 512. • Police Chief Gary West received approval for an officer to undergo training for the Drug & Alcohol Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program on Sept. 12-23 at a cost of $175. The D.A.R.E. program hasn’t been offered at Moore Elementary School since Officer Robert Peloquin left the
Moore Twsp. Police Department for his new position as police chief in the Northampton Area School District. Three part-time police officers were approved for hiring: Kevin Jones, Jonathan Miklich, and Robert Tourney. West’s report for July showed: 278 total incidents; 28 warning/verbal and written notices; 25 traffic citations; 3 non-traffic citations; 3 under the burning ordinance; 5 arrests (2 drug violations, 1 small amount of drugs, 1 accident involving injury and property damage, and 1 DUI); 7 reportable and 1 nonreportable accidents. • In his recreation report, Sterling Laubach said there were 14 teams in a softball tournament and 17 in another, and the fall soccer tournament will be in early November. He noted that Wallace Schlegel has donated two swing sets for the recreation center. • The board approved the appraisal of the Paul Schmoyer Farm at $5,110 for 17 of 20 acres, costing the township $86,870 from its Farmland Preservation Fund, taken

Healthy Eating Millions depend on a cup or two of coffee to wake up in the morning and begin the daily routine. The latest advice is another warning against getting addicted to coffee. It's a caffeine habit. To end addiction, drink a bit less each day for weeks. Continue this until you no longer feel adverse effects when skipping coffee.

The Gracedale Volunteer Recruitment Committee has announced that the volunteer of the month for August 2011 is Franklin L. Homme.

He has dedicated himself to the accumulation of more than 939 hours during his 6-1/2 years of service. He is the faithful volunteer who works whenever and wherever he is needed, transporting the residents to social events, picnics, luncheons and parties. Frank also helps with field trips, which is invaluable to the Therapeutic Recreation staff. Mr. Homme is dedicated to the Volunteer Services Department. Along with his dedication, he is caring to the residents and works well with his co-workers, always willing to lend a helping hand. Frank also volunteers his time and talent in his community and church, recently receiving the Disabled American Veterans life member award and the American Legion Hospital Award for volunteer work.

News Sermonette Rev. Edwin V. Schwartz
Immaculate Conception Church, Allentown
“It is I, be not afraid”… Human life is a mixture of that famous, “Smile and a Tear.” We have our ups and downs in life. We attend weddings and funerals. Parents witness graduations and often failures of their children as well. Married life can be like the smell of roses and then turn into a nightmare. Friends may disappoint us and we may witness infidelity not only in our government but even in our church. All this may leave us confused and downcast. What are we to do? Are we to give up faith in God? Queen Jezebel threatened the life of Elijah. He went to a cave in search of God: He prayed and encountered God in a tiny whispering voice. Jesus’ best friend, John the Baptist was beheaded in jail. Jesus went up the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone. The night that Jesus’ disciples were in trouble in the boat, they were being filled with waves, they were being tossed about in the sea. Lack of faith made them desperate and perhaps Peter, becoming frightened would have drowned if he had not cried out: “Lord, save me!” God’s word to everyone tossed about on the waves of life is: Find a quiet place for yourself, (is your church open week days?) Search for God, pray with faith: “Lord, save me!

A VIEW OF THE GARDENS at Glenmar Nursery in Moorestown. – Home News photo
New nursery owners continue 30 plus year tradition
By Alice Wanamaker The Home News
All of his life, Michael Szoke knew he wanted to own a nursery. Even when he started operating his landscaping business, Agroscape, 13 years ago, Michael had the dream of one day moving into the garden center business. The dream became a reality early this spring when Michael made the move from lifelong customer to owner of the four acre Glenmar Nursery in beautiful Moore Township (Bath). Glenmar Nursery was opened over 30 years ago by
Glen and Terry Shoemaker. The couple built a steady foundation in the community by offering a wide selection of plants for the home gardener as well as the professional landscaper, unique items including water gardening supplies and plants and a reliably knowledgeable and friendly staff. Michael had personal knowledge of the friendliness and uniqueness of the garden center as he would purchase items he used and guaranteed for his landscape business for over a decade from Glenmar. Early this spring, right before the busy season, Michael

made the decision to purchase the nursery. Dedicated staff members, including horticulturists Lori Metz and Sue Holland, were happy to stay on staff to continue to provide friendliness and knowledge for the customers. The team, made up of designers, perennial experts, and more enjoy learning from each other and their experiences “The staff that works here is tremendous and full of decades of experience,” Lori said of her co-workers. Michael and his team have done a lot of work at Glenmar to get it back to what friends and customers remember. They have stocked the isles with quality pond materials, plants, unique stone and landscaping items, fruit and flower trees, herbs and vegetables, garden tools, pride and a lot of knowledge. In addition to carrying a wide range of guaranteed products, Glenmar also holds free seminars throughout the year on a variety of topics including water gardening, winterizing and pruning. Last week, Michael’s wife Corri hosted a butterfly gardening seminar with face painting for kids at the nursery. If you have been thinking about adding a water feature to your backyard, are looking for unique patio stones or are just in the market for some horticulture information stop by Glenmar and talk to the folks who work there.

PSATS Continued from page 1
a gasoline tax are not part of the plan, which the General Assembly is expected to address when members return to Harrisburg in September. “It has long been acknowledged there is a shortage of money for the state’s rapidly deteriorating transportation infrastructure,” Sanko said. “Secretary of Transportation Barry Schoch (also the commission chair) understands the history, the issue, and the challenges for success. “Perhaps the most meaningful part of this report is an acknowledgment that local government is a major part of a comprehensive transportation system,” he added. “The average Pennsylvanian cannot get to rail or air or interstates without using local roads and bridges.” Still, despite their importance, local roads and bridges have been underfunded. Townships have watched as their share of the state’s Liquid Fuels Fund – the traditional mechanism for funding local transportation – has dropped from its traditional fair-share of 20 percent to 14.7 percent in recent years. This decrease, coupled with rising labor and material costs, has left local leaders with two choices: raise taxes or put projects on hold. In one PennDOT district, for instance, municipalities spent $202 million on road repairs in 2008, yet received only $47.5 million in liquid fuels reimbursements. “For years, PSATS has been asking the state to come up with a long-term funding source to help our members address some very real problems on the ground,” Sanko said. “Our hope is that the governor and the General Assembly see that the commission did its job: It found funding – significant funding – for transportation without raising taxes. “We all want better roads, and the bottom line is, we can’t get to that point without more dollars. The commission has come up with a solid solution. Now, it’s up to the General Assembly to make things happen in the fall, and we’re going to be encouraging them every step of the way.” The Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors represents Pennsylvania’s 1,455 townships of the second class and for the past 90 years has been committed to preserving and strengthening township government and securing greater visibility and involvement for townships in the state and federal political arenas. Townships of the second class represent more residents — 5.5 million Pennsylvanians — than any other type of political subdivision in the commonwealth.

The Wolves were looking to be the spoiler and give the Storm a loss, but that didn't happen as the Storm whipped up a 21-6 win.. The Wolves as the names implies
are tough andfierce and have the dangerous potential to take a game away with some highly talented players. Storm head coach Fred Rice said "the game was won in the trenches with the Storm offensive line settling down this week and getting the job done without many penalties. It was important for us to score first" and that is what happened on the first play. On the Storm’s 37 yard line Quarterback James Lahue from Whitehall High School hit a long ball to Wide Receiver Bryan Phelan from East Stroudsburg for a 63 yard catch and the Storm’s first touch down of the Game. Kicker TJ Sobetsky from Liberty High hit the extra point,

As the first quarter was winding down, the Storm attempted a high pass on a screen, only to have it intercepted by theWolves and a running return had the score 7-6. The Wolves missed the extrapoint.The Storm defense played another stellar game and Drew Derogatis Defensive Tackle from Easton High School was chasing the Wolves QB all day. That allowed the Storm defense to play a bit more aggressive in
