Vehicle hits two cars, Then Ahart’s Market; Couple injured
Two East Allen Township residents were injured this past Thursday afternoon when their car rammed into two other cars before striking a brick wall at the northeast entrance to Ahart’s Market in Bath. Colonial Regional Police said that Robert L. Horton, 85, of Greenbriar Drive South was parked at Ahart’s and was about to leave with his wife. He thought he put the car in reverse, but instead hit drive. His 2011 Ford Focus was parked behind a Honda Civic owned by Aid Our Veterans, an organization soliciting funds at the market. In moving forward, Horton’s car hit the Honda, then sideswiped a
Buick Century vehicle owned by Susan Pfeffer, before slamming into the wall of Ahart’s Market. Horton and his wife, Dorothy, were taken by Bath Firefighters ambulance to St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment of their injuries. Both airbags on their car were activated with the crash. The other two vehicles were not occupied at the time of the accident. Sgt. Harmon of CRPD said the department was notified of the accident at 1:05 p.m. Thursday. There was very little damage to the S. Walnut St. store, but the front end of Horton’s car was damaged extensively.

Bath 275th celebration Kicks off next Saturday! By Alice Wanamaker The Home News
The Bath 275th Anniversary is being celebrated throughout the borough tfrom August 10 to the 18th. A dedicated committee has been hard at work organizing fun family events for the entire community to participate in. They are asking all residents and business owners to take part in the celebration by showing community spirit and welcoming visitors in a way that only Bath can! It has been 25 years since the Borough has come together in this way to celebrate the heritage and history of the town. Back in August of 1987 people decorated their homes and businesses with red, white and blue and hung Bath-centric flags on their front porches. “We are hoping to see a sense of commu-
nity pride,” said Anniversary Co-Chair Barry Fenstermaker, “This where you live and work and you should be proud of it.” Fenstermaker and Co-chair Fiorella Mirabito are hoping that residents replicate the 1987 look and feel of the town for the anniversary. -------------------------------
“This is where you live and work and you should be proud of it.” Barry Fenstermaker
------------------------------He said there are anniversary flags for sale, t-shirts, mugs and so much more at the anniversary store. He also encourages people to hang up their American flags to help celebrate. “Decorate your porches, hang up your flags
and get involved,” he said. Beginning this week, items at the anniversary store are being discounted just in time for the anniversary celebration. Mrs. Mirabito has lived in Bath since she was five years old and said that being part of the town has been a lifetime pleasure, “Bath was good to me and my family. At five, it was good to me and now as my restaurant celebrates 25 years, [Bath] is still good to me.” Mrs. Mirabito and her family own My Place restaurant in the Borough. While the committee has been holding pig roasts, dances, breakfasts and you-nameit fundraisers since 2008, the real celebration is about to get started. It all kicks off with a Anniversary Gala Dinner & Dance on Saturday, August 11 at Bath Fire Social Hall. There Continued on page 9

the Fence GabGab OverOver the Fence by Pete G. Ossip by Pete G. Ossip
We had some excitement in town last Thursday and Friday. One was good, the other not so good. On Thursday, a driver who wanted to pull out after getting groceries in Ahart’s put his car in a forward motion instead of backward, and hit a couple other cars before hitting the store. I hear he and his wife were hurt, so I hope they’re okay by now. But their car had lots of damage. It was a new car, so it probably was a mistake on the shifting. These things happen. That’s why they’re called accidents. . . . .Friday was the big duck race.

WOMEN/SOCIAL
German Family Life and Culture (Second in a series)
By Christine Zopf Home News Editorial Intern
On June 13, my plane touched down in Frankfurt, Germany shortly after 7AM. Although I had just flown throughout the night, I was experiencing a nervous excitement that prevented me from feeling any kind of exhaustion. After going through Customs, our group boarded a bus that would take us to the school in Gladenbach, Germany where we would be greeted by our exchange partners. Upon arrival, we were taken to a welcome reception. All around students were hugging, being reunited after two months apart. After a brief tour of the school, American students and their German partners were dismissed for the day. I stood by Sina (my partner) in the parking lot, shivering from the cold mixed with nerves, waiting for her mom to arrive and take us home. I've never been one to become nervous about meeting new people, but in that moment, my stomach was turning, and my mind was racing. What if her family didn't like me? What if I didn't speak German well enough to communicate with the family? But once her mom arrived, my nerves settled. I went in for a hug, a typical American greeting, while her mom extended her hand for a handshake, all the while speaking English. We did a little dance and finally embraced. In the car on the way home I chatted with her mom, small talk. “How was my flight? What foods did I prefer? Would I like to speak English or German with the family?”
Although I had been doubting myself minutes before, I chose to speak German with Sina's family. It was an opportunity to expand my knowledge of the language, and I could not pass it up. Although I didn't have an image in mind of how I pictured Sina's house, I was still shocked upon arrival. Her house was massive. My fears shifted from being liked and communication to getting lost within the house. It didn't even occur to me that I would be meeting the rest of her family upon arrival. Once I walked in the door, Sina's step father began to greet me. In rapid German. I was so overwhelmed by the velocity at which he was speaking that I didn't catch a word he said as he tried to take my suitcase out of my hand. It didn't occur to me that he was offering to carry it up to my room. I was given a brief tour of the house and I convinced myself that it would be easier to find my way around than I expected. I then receded to my room while lunch was being prepared to unpack and relax. Although it was only noon, I was exhausted. The first meal I had with my German family was pizza. In all honesty, I had expected something more German and less Italian, but I quickly learned that pizza is a common meal among Germans and can be found in almost every restaurant. I had always heard from my German teachers, Frau Wenck and Frau Krempasky, that Germans normally eat a larger meal in the afternoon, which I discov-

ered on the first day to be true. While our lunch consisted of two large pizzas, our dinner was simply homemade waffles with Nutella or jams. Although it was not what I was used to, I quickly adjusted to the switch from a small lunch and large dinner to just the opposite. My first few days in Germany I also noticed many differences between roles of family members. One of the biggest differences between German families and many American families was that Sina's grandparents lived with her, but they were rarely seen due to the fact that they had their own wing of the house complete with kitchen and living area. I found this to be strange since many American homes are built to accommodate one family. Another difference was that while Sina was nearly 16, she did not have many chores, such as washing dishes or helping clean up after a meal. When I would arrive in the kitchen for breakfast, her mom would have already laid out every possible breakfast food on the table, or baked something for us to eat for breakfast. Afterward, she would insist that she alone would clean up and wash the dishes. I was confused by her desire to clean up the kitchen because I have been in charge of setting the table and kitchen clean up since I was probably 12 years old, convinced it was normal for all teenagers to have the same responsibilities at home. While there were many differences in family roles, the biggest difference was cultural: the Germans' love of soccer. In
Germans gather in the local sports complex to cheer on their national team in Euro 2012. - Chrissy Zopf photo my opinion, the way Germans support their national soccer team cannot compare to the most die-hard football fan's love and support of his favorite team. This viewpoint stems from the way soccer unites the German people. When I was in Germany the European Cup was taking place. On my first night in Germany I got a taste of how much soccer meant to the German people. Sina and I headed to the local sports viewing complex for a public viewing of the Germany vs. Netherlands game, and I was amazed at the turn out. The building was packed full of avid fans, from young children to adults, and those who just came to support their country's national team. All around people were wearing jerseys, leis, flags, and face paint. There was an exhilarating rush whenever Germany scored a goal, the screams of the Germans and the Americans were so loud
it was impossible to hear any distinct sound, it was just a roar of noise. When Germany scored the winning goal, and the clock drained completely, there was just a rush. The feeling of German pride and patriotism was palpable, and contagious. Once outside, there was a wave of cars, some honking the horns, some with the occupants shouting German cheers. Others were daringly sitting on the roof of the cars, waving the German flag in triumph. After the game it finally hit me how exhausted I was. It was nearly 11pm, and the next morning I would be waking up bright and early for my first day of German school, which I knew already would be full of surprises. My first day in Germany had already come to a close. If you have any thoughts or questions about my trip or involvement in the GAPP program, feel free to contact me at Chrissy@homenewspa.com.

Grow Your Small Business Leadership Rocks By CAROL RITTER
OMG, OMG, OMG, another day at work, and it’s Monday, I can’t do anything right and I’m trying so hard to please the boss/ leader/CEO/President or whoever is ‘IN CHARGE’! I remember serving in a leadership role for a statewide organization many years ago. I believed that my service would change the world a bit and make it easier for parents to be involved in their children’s lives. The leader at the time generally started most meetings by telling his board that he was ‘IN CHARGE‘. His other favorite line was, “you need to know!” He then launched into an oratory about what he believed we needed to know (most of it we didn’t need to know; it was over the top bragging about self ). I remember sitting there thinking ‘what kind of a leader is this?’ - he’s all about self and doesn’t much care about the mission or the team. What’s a person to do?? There is nothing more fulfilling than working with a leader who rocks. A leader who sets a great example. Here are some traits to look for: 1. The leader that ROCKS is constantly learning, growing and learning from their team 2. The leader that ROCKS is willing to use the better idea rather than their own 3. The leader that ROCKS is willing to let go and let others accomplish their goals 4. The leader that ROCKS
inspires others to see the value in reaching the mission 5. The leader that ROCKS puts self aside and others first 6. The leader that ROCKS is flexible and willing to change course for the greater good 7. The leader that ROCKS has the ability to discover the gifts and talents of those around them and even more willing to let them use those gifts to fulfill the mission Are you a leader that ROCKS? If so, keep up the great work and you will see great results. Or, are you an employee working for the “IN CHARGE” type of leader? Generally, they don’t change so you have two choices No. 1 change yourself to adapt or No. 2 you may want to brush up the resume today!

I spoke with him recently and as always, the conversation was light and full of jest. One thing was a little peculiar though as he often referred to me as young man many times, he even said that I am still a boy. Ok, I thought, he’s losing his mind. He’s clearly not, yet I am in my forties now. Boy and young man aren’t typical terms that I am used to being referred to as. Believe me I wasn’t offended.

experienced when he was in his forties. He revealed a few things he would have done differently. I took notes. I listened intently and after talking with him I reflected on age and its actual relevance. Not to sound transcendental but does age really matter? Of course, with certain ages comes certain abilities, or certain disabilities. Maybe “younger” individuals have a better chance of greater health and less aches and pains, like the ones I am just beginning to feel, not just treat. But does age really matter? Should it dominate our thoughts and perhaps keep us a bit fearful about our certain demise at some point? The reason I ask is because I believe with every fiber of my

being that I will live forever. This may be more of a healthcare column than a Christian one but I believe that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we have eternal life. Now please understand that I am completely aware that I only have so many breaths I will take on this side of heaven yet at some point the age clock will stop ticking. I may even at some point laugh about the concept of age when it no longer pertains to me. Perhaps we will be enjoying a good laugh about it together. Because this may be true I am and will continue to enjoy every age, every stage, every moment I can while here. I hope you will too. I am here to encourage you to live presently. Not for the past or too far in the future. It’s actually difficult to do. It takes focus and awareness. Many times it takes a tremendous personal struggle to shake us free and help us to see beyond ourselves. It takes Continued on page 8

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷ One proof college football is big business, a huge profitmaker for many colleges, is the fact that the first college games begin on Thursday, August 30th. That’s before classes have
begun and sometimes before the first semester has begun for the student body. But football players have arrived early and and been practicing for weeks in the summer! Fans of college football can watch several games on August 30th--Vanderbilt against the University of South Carolina and Texas A&M vs. Louisiana Tech, among others. Akron plays Central Florida at home and Massachusetts is at Connecticut. Central Michigan is at Missouri State, Boise State is at Michigan State. Other than the game at Central Florida, the other games are televised on ESPN.
Bath takes Region 2 Tourney down to last Game before losing
The season is over for Bath’s Eckley E. Patch Post #470 Senior Legion baseball team. But not before they gave it their best shot. The 2012 champions in the Northampton County American Legion Baseball League, lost the second game of a double header they played against Doylestown after winning the opening game on a shut-out. After sweeping Nazareth for the Northampton County title, Bath lost the first round to Doylestown, the Bux-Mont League champion, by a lopsided score, putting Bath into the losers’ bracket for round two. Bath rebounded in that game on Tuesday, July 24, to win 16-4 against Shillington, the Berks County champion,
doing it with a 19-hit attack that was called after six-plus innings on the 10-run mercy rule. Reports were that Shillington was exhausted after losing to Doylestown at 1:00 that morning by a score of 1710. In winning, Bath’s pitcher, Jim Sawyer, had three hits, Pat Donnelly had three including a triple, and Robert Bertolotti also had three hits. Hitting a pair each for Bath were Ryan Santoro, Jake Tone, and Ed Albertson. The victory over Shillington put Bath into the third round, in which they had to win two games vs. Doylestown to earn the right to go for a state title. Albertson pitched a twohitter and Donnelly drove in three runs for Bath to win game one over Doylestown, 5-0, this past Wednesday.

Early Canada goose and dove hunters take to the fields of Penn’s Woods on Sept. 1, as part of Pennsylvania’s 201213 migratory bird seasons, announced by Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe. Dove hunters will have the opportunity to participate in a triple-split season. The first season runs Sept. 1-29, and hunting will start at noon and close at sunset daily. The second and third splits will be Oct. 27-Nov. 24, and Dec. 26Jan 5, with hunting hours a half-hour before sunrise until sunset. In all three seasons, the daily bag limit will be 15, and the possession limit will be 30. The early statewide season for resident Canada geese will open Sept. 1, and continue through Sept. 25. The early season retains a daily bag limit of eight Canada geese and possession limit of 16. However, Kevin Jacobs, agency waterfowl biologist, noted that these bag limits are restricted in certain areas, mostly in northwest Pa. The controlled hunting areas at the Game Commission’s Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area in Lebanon-Lancaster counties, as well as all of State Game Land 46, will remain closed to September goose hunting to address the decline in the resident Canada goose flock. And, in the area of Lancaster and Lebanon counties north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike
I-76, east of SR 501 to SR 419, south of SR 419 to LebanonBerks county line, west of Lebanon-Berks county line and Lancaster-Berks county line to SR 1053 (also known as Peartown Road and Greenville Road), west of SR 1053 to Pennsylvania Turnpike I-76, the daily bag limit is one goose, possession limit two geese. This restriction does not apply to youth participating in the youth waterfowl hunting days, which are set for Sept. 15 and 22, when regular season regulations apply. Jacobs noted recent liberalizations in Canada goose hunting opportunities, along with local population control programs being implemented by many municipalities and public and private landowners, appear to be reducing the state’s resident Canada goose population. The 2010-12, three-year average Pennsylvania spring resident Canada goose population was estimated at 232,820, which is 14 percent below the recent nine-year average of 271,049. However, the population remains significantly above the agency’s management goal of 150,000. “Hunting remains the most effective and efficient way to manage resident Canada geese, provided hunters can gain access to geese in problem areas,” Jacobs said. As noted, young Pennsylvania hunters will be provided with two days of special wa-
terfowl hunting on Saturday, Sept. 15 and 22. The Youth Waterfowl Days, which previously were limited to one day, are open to those 12 to 15 years old who hold a junior hunting license. To participate, a youngster must be accompanied by an adult, who may assist the youth in calling, duck identification and other aspects of the hunt. During these special two days of hunting, youth can harvest ducks, mergansers, coots and moorhens. In addition, because the Youth Waterfowl Days and the early Canada goose season overlap this year, youth and the adults accompanying them may harvest Canada geese. The daily limit for the Youth Waterfowl Days for Canada geese is the same as the daily limit for adults in the area being hunted. Youth Waterfowl Days bag limits for ducks, mergansers and coots will be consistent with the limit for the regular season, which will be announced in mid-August, after the annual Waterfowl Symposium on Aug. 10. Pennsylvania’s woodcock and common snipe seasons will open Oct. 13, and continue through Nov. 24. Virginia and sora rail hunting will run Sept. 1-Nov. 9. Hunting for moorhen and gallinules will run from Sept. 1 to Nov. 9. Migratory game bird hunters, including those afield for doves and woodcock, are required to obtain and carry a Pennsylvania migratory game bird license ($3.70 for residents, $6.70 for nonresi-

That was a 1 p.m. game. Then, in the game scheduled at 4 p.m., Bath had 10 hits and stole five bases, but they fell short, losing 5-4, as they stranded 13 men on base, a story similar to that of the Phillies this year. Sawyer’s two-out single got Bath to the final scores, when it ended as Albertson popped up on a 1 and 1 pitch in the 9th inning. First-year manager for Bath, Gene Sostarecz, was quoted as saying, “I couldn’t be prouder of these guys. They came to play every game this year.” Bath finished with a 28-5 record. It’s often said that pitching can beat hitting, and in some cases that was proven this year. In the match-ups of Bath and Nazareth, Bath had four pitchers who were good, with Jim Sawyer going 5-0 and Pete Daland, 4-0. Nazareth’s Brett Kline also was 4-0 on the mound. In hitting, it was a one-man show by Nazareth’s Mike Garzillo: average, .574; hits, 35; home runs, 4; RBIs, 30; runs, 28; and slugging percentage, .951.

LTAA softball teams win four titles
The 12U Division 1 Parkland League team
The 18U Parkland League team
The 12U Division 1 Parkland League team finished the Spring 2012 regular season with an 11-1 record in 1st place with a playoff championship win over Schnecksville. The coaches stressed three important things every game – play solid defense, limit the walks and swing at good pitches. Every girl on this team contributed in one way or another; outstanding pitching performances by Lauren Kemmerer, Jennah Best and Nikki Secara; exceptional infield with Danielle Straub (also the MVP of the Championship game), Faith Fritz, Jasmine Pavlinsky, Sarah Schaffer and Lindsay Rinker; solid outfield with Madison Roberts, Grace Lewis, Brianna Hein, Kate Gogel, Sarah Schmidt (who also contributed in the infield when needed) and strong at bat performances by Lauren “Wheels” Dorney and our clean-up hitter Ashley Coughlin. The team was coached by Norm Best and Todd Schaffer with assistance from Scott Fritz, Pete Coughlin and John Lewis.
The 18U Parkland League team finished the Spring 2012 regular season 10-4-1 which seeded them in 6th place going into the playoffs. The team overcame some late season tough losses to regroup and take charge entering the playoffs by defeating Alton Park (#3 seed) in the first round, SPYA (#2 seed) in the 2nd round and Hokey (#1 seed) in the championship game in 2 straight games. This was a total team effort and the girls demonstrated what teamwork will do when you work hard as a team. For the past 4 years, the 18U teams coached by Marc Messinger and Joel Harmony have a record of 119-23 which includes 5 Spring Championships. We would like to Thank Marc for his 15 years of LTAA Softball coaching.

The 10U Lehigh Valley League team
The 10U Division 1 Parkland League team finished the Spring 2012 regular season with a 17-0 record in 1st place with a playoff Championship win over Ormrod. Pitchers Rose Sharga and Kayla Best, with assistance throughout the season from Chloe Fischl, brought the team through some tough games to keep the opponents offense to a minimum. Strong bats and fielding throughout the season from all players including Maddy Lebish (also the MVP of the Championship game), Katelyn Heffelfinger, Paige Bauer, Cami Dorney, Taylor Sommer, Kylie Gilliard, Madison Siegfried, Bri Sell, Daedra VanLuvanee and Brianna (Breezy) Tyler helped this first year team succeed and stand proud in the end; seeing the accomplishments that teamwork and good sportsmanship can produce. The team was coached by Mark Siegfried with assistance from Kevin Sommer, Mike Lebish and Lisa Gilliard.
The 10U Lehigh Valley League team finished as regular season champions going 12-0 and finished off a great season by winning the championship playoff game against the Bethlehem Stars 8-7. The team went 14-0 throughout the regular season and playoffs. Strong pitching performances from Hannah Boggs, Madison Biechy and Ren Herschman combined with timely hitting and great defensive efforts from all players, including Lexi Hahn, Gabby Demchak, Mikayla Davidson, Becca Snyder, Jaide Korpics, Taylor DiProperzio, Taylor Klucsarits and Haley Morales contributed to the success of the season. The team was coached by Stacey Boggs and Mike Biechy with assistance from Dennis Herschman and Ed Demchak.

Is it true that women sometimes forewarn of rain? Strange as it may seem to some, it’s true. Not only women but other living creatures can predict rain at times. The explanation is simple. One can understand how when it’s realized that hygrometers used to use human hair to measure moisture. The feel from more moist hair is slight in most cases, but some humans can sense the change in humidity, first in their hair. Blonde hair is better for such weather forecasting than brunette--it seems to reflect change more quickly, more noticeably

Martin on Main Festival Returns to Nazareth
The Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present the fifth annual Martin On Main. Live music, delicious food, and the excitement of the crowd will be back in historic downtown Nazareth on Saturday, August 4, 2012 from 12 pm to 8 pm. The Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum musicians have live acoustic guitar music from 12 pm to 6 pm at the main stage in the circle downtown. The group secured this year’s headliner, - Clay Hess, a Grammy-award winning bluegrass artist. Clay toured for three years with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, and is widely considered one of the hottest flat-pickers on the bluegrass circuit. In 2005 and 2009, C.F. Martin & Co created two limited-run Clay Hess Signature models. Clay's per-
formance is presented by Favorite Guitars, a prominent dealer of C.F. Martin guitars, and the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum. His new CD, "Rain" will be available for purchase. Clay will play on the main stage in the circle at approximately 3:00 PM, along with his son Brennan Hess and Jon Garon, owner of My Favorite Guitars. For additional information you can also check out the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum site at www.umgf.org. Most musicians are celebrating with their Martin guitars, but instruments will range from banjos to mandolins. Closing the main stage from 6 – 8 PM will be Shaun Hopper, sponsored by Martin Guitar.

Choosing Your Colors “Now, I want you to know brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.” Philippians 1:12 (NIV) Several years ago, the late Frank Court told the story of a student at Iowa State University who took to selling magazine subscriptions for additional income. He determined that a likely customer might be the president of the university. The student was greeted at the door by the president’s wife who was able to resist his sales pitch by saying that her husband already received more magazines than he could read. The student assured her that he understood and turned to leave. It was then the president’s wife saw something she had not noticed before. The student was crippled. She felt bad that she had turned him down, and probably out of a twinge of guilt called out to him and said, “I did not know you were a cripple.” The student responded that his being a cripple was a result of having polio when he was a child. The woman then said, “My, how being a cripple must color your life.” The young man brightly responded,“It certainly does, but thank God I can choose the color!” When Paul wrote the words found in our text he was under house arrest preparing a defense for a trial that could result in his receiving a death sentence. He was chained to a Roman guard. It could have colored his world in the most profound way. Paul does not let his world take a downward spiral. He refuses to surrender to despair. Instead of being colored by the human emotion of bitterness, there is a deeper root and perspective at work in his life that brings renewal to his life in this challenging circumstance. While Paul is in prison he lives into the promise that God is in control. That tiny cell in which he found himself cannot take away the vision that guides his life. When the winds of adversity drove Paul to that prison cell, he knew that ships were not made to stay forever in the safe harbor. Paul realizes that this setting is actually a mission field that God has placed him in. He begins to witness to the Roman soldiers who are a captive audience. He receives visitors. He writes a thank you letter to a congregation that has renewed their support of him in this challenging circumstance. In this note he shared that for the followers of Christ – there is a source of joy that is greater and deeper than the source of despair. That short note – now known as the epistle to the Philippians – has ushered encouragement and edification into many lives for over 2,000 years. Yes, Paul got to choose the colors – and so do we. God is always more concerned about what we allow to happen in us – than what is happening around us. Paul’s life was held together by joy. This was the deeper orientation of his life. May it be ours as well. Choosing joy allowed Paul to have peace rather then going to pieces. .

dents), as well as a general hunting, combination or lifetime license. All waterfowl hunters age 16 and older also must possess a federal migratory game bird and conservation (duck) stamp. Although general hunting hours have been extended to one-half hour after sunset for big game (except the first two weeks of spring gobbler), as well as small game and furbearers, federal regulations prevail for waterfowl and migratory game birds and shooting hours for these species will continue to close at sunset. The only exceptions to this are during the early September Canada goose season and the snow goose conservation season, in which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has permitted states to extend the hunting hours to one-half hour after sunset. Annual migratory bird and waterfowl seasons are selected by states from a framework established by the USFWS. The Game Commission is expected to announce in mid-August the regular and late waterfowl seasons, Waterfowl Symposium. The “Pennsylvania 201213 Guide to Migratory Bird Hunting” brochure will be posted on the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc. state.pa.us) in mid-August. Hunters are encouraged to report recoveries of legbanded migratory game birds online at www.report-

Governor Tom Corbett makes his way down the Allegheny River near West Hickory, as a part of his three day kayak trip in Western Pennsylvania to promote the state's vast natural resources and array of recreational opportunities. He was joined on the water by First Lady Susan Corbett and representatives of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
Game commissioners to hold Open working group meet Folowing up on his commitment to make the workings of the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners more open and transparent, the president, Ralph A. Martone, announced that the Board will be holding a public working group meeting on Monday, Aug. 13. The meeting, which will begin at 8 a.m., will be held in the auditorium of the Game Commission’s Harrisburg headquarters, 2001 Elmerton Avenue, just off the Progress Avenue exit of Interstate 81. The working group meeting will be webcast through the agency’s website (www. pgc.state.pa.us) beginning at 8 a.m. This particular working group meeting is being held in advance of its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting on Sept. 24 and 25, which will be held in Franklin, Venango County. “Since opening our Workband.gov, or use the toll-free number (1-800-327-BAND). Hunters will be requested to provide information on where, when and what species were taken, in addition to the band number.
ing Group meetings to the public, the Board has received an enormous amount of positive feedback from hunters around the state,” Martone said. “Through the Working Group meetings and the rebroadcast on the Game Commission website, hunters are learning more about the issues surrounding Board decisions. Observers are often amazed at the depth of information provided to the Board during the briefing by staff, as well as the exchange of questions and answers between Commissioners and staff.” Martone encouraged the public to use the time between the working group meeting on Aug. 13 and the official Board meeting in September to express their opinions. Public comment periods are scheduled at each of the Board’s quarterly meetings, during which the Board votes on proposed regulations and other action items. The Board also accepts public comments through email and letters.

Resident upset Over neighboring Business expansion
By Alice Wanamaker The Home News
Lehigh Township resident Mr. Ken Joseph wrote a letter to the Supervisors last week addressing concerns he has with the expansion of the McAuliffe Transfer facility. Mr. Joseph, who owns and lives at an adjoining property to the expansion site, was unaware until recently of the approved expansion. In his letter discussed at the BOS meeting last Tuesday, Joseph stated that his concerns were related to noise, traffic, lighting, privacy and degradation of his property value. He said at the meeting that the expansion and its effects are “not fair to [his] four year old daughter” who enjoys playing in their nearly two acre yard. While all of Mr. Josephs concerns were addressed by both Supervisors and a McAuliffe representative at the meeting, supervisors said that all residents received letters of the expansion for the past year and half and that it was too late to go back and change what they have already approved. The McAuliffe representative assured Mr. Joseph that his client wants to be a good neighbor and will work with him to help reduce the effects on his property. Other Matters: The Board of Supervisors approved the change of the Planning Commission Meeting dates from the second Wednesday of every month to the second Monday of every month beginning in September 2012. The Solar Ordinance was revised and will be discussed at the August 7 meeting. Two presentations were heard for the Master Concept Plan project in the Township. Presenting were W2A Design from Allentown and Buchart Horn of York, PA. Supervisors will continue to evaluate
the future of the Master Plan. Township Manager Alice Rehrig will be applying for grants from the County Gaming Fund. The grants will provide funds for public safety items such as police cars, a new phone system and possibly a laptop. The Supervisors approved the purchasing of a new smart
phone for the new Chief of Police for the Township for an amount up to $200. They also asked Township Manager Rehrig to look into pricing for a phone for herself. It was announced that the new Chief of Police will be installed on Wednesday August 1st at 7 p.m. at the township building.
Police Blotter Colonial Regional Burglary, Theft by Unlawful Taking
On July 15, Christine E. Heckman, 41, of Bath saw an open rear window at a 104 N. Walnut Street residence. No on was home at the time. She called the daughter of the home owner and reported to her that the window of the residence was open and she was going inside. Ms. Heckman climbed through the window and went to one of the bedrooms, where police said she stole old jewelry before leaving. Ms. Heckman later sold the jewelry at a gold exchange for $245.00. She was arraigned by District Judge Schlegel, who set bail at $30,000. Ms. Heckman was remanded to Northampton County Prison.
Drugs Found in Nazareth Man’s Car
Colonial Regional Police have charged Nicholas Delnero, 27, of 33 South St., Nazareth with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance known as spice. He was seen with the drugs in his vehicle by police while he was in the parking lot of the A-Plus Mini Mart on Nazareth Pike in Lower Nazareth Township on March 19, 2012. Charges were filed with District Judge Joseph Barner’s office, according to a report by CRPD Officer Mahalick on July 27.
Hit and Run Accident
On July 24 around 2 p.m., a red Dodge truck was sideswiped by a box truck. The driver’s side mirror was broken off. The box truck didn’t stop, but a passing motorist obtained its registration. The Dodge truck was parked in the 100 block of W. Main St., Bath. Upon arrival by police, the Dodge was gone. The owner may call Colonial Regional Police at 610-861-4820 if they would like to make a report. Ref. incident #12-5456.
D.U.I., Drug Possession, Underage Drinking
CRPD charged Anthony Bedoya, 20, of 4070 Janet Dr., Hanover Township, with underage drinking, D.U.I., possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a small amount of marijuana, driving under D.U.I. suspension, minors operating with alcohol in system, and an open alcoholic container violation. He was stopped during a
D.U.I. check point in Hanover Twsp. on Rt. 512 on July 6. Charges were filed with District Judge James Narlesky.
Retail Thefts at Walmart Store
CRPD responded to the Walmart in the Northampton Crossings mall on July 24 for two females being detained for retail theft. Loss prevention personnel told police they saw 24-year-old Amanda Lettenmaier and 19-yearold Alicia Lettenmaier, both of Pennsylvania Ave., Bangor, select various articles of clothing and personal hygiene products from the shelves. Both young women later concealed the merchandise in their purses and left the store without paying for them. Amanda’s merchandise totaled $85.92 and Alicia’s totaled $51.46. They were issued non-traffic citations, which will be filed with DJ Joseph Barner. CRPD responded to the Walmart on July 27 for a young woman detained for retail theft. Victoria Osoria, 22, of S. Main St., Chambersburg, was seen selecting clothing from the women’s department. Loss prevention people followed her and saw her remove a sports bra and six pairs of women’s underwear from the packaging and conceal the items in her purse. She continued food shopping and paid for that, but not the clothing that was valued at $27.88. She was issued a citation for retail theft, to be filed through DJ Barner, and was released.
