21 new WCO’s now serving State Game Commission
The Susquehanna Township Middle School auditorium in Dauphin County was filled to capacity on Saturday morning for the graduation of 21 cadets from the Pa. Game Commission’s 28th class in the Ross Leffler School of Conservation. It was a very impressive ceremony. Several persons from the Lehigh Valley were present as they saw Kevin Halbfoerster of Moore Township and 20 others take the oath of office and become full-time wildlife conservation officers in various counties of the state. They had undergone 50 weeks of intensive training at the school located in the PGC’s main headquarters in Harrisburg. Timothy Grenoble, Director of Training, introduced members of the Game Commission, the staff, and special guests, including Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover, who served as keynote speaker and administered the oath of office. Remarks were also given by PGC Executive Director Carl Roe, PGC President Ronald Weaner, and cadet Philip White. Roe said, “This WCO Class will fill 21 of the 35 vacant WCO districts, but we still
will have 14 districts vacant with the potential for another 18 districts being vacated, due to retirements and promotional opportunities, by the end of this fiscal year. By June of 2011, we anticipate a return to more than 30 WCO vacancies statewide. So, we plan to have another WCO class enrolled in March of 2012.” It was apparent from their show of unison in movement that the cadets had undergone close order drills as part of their training. Each of the cadets were handed their official credentials by family members, and received their diplomas, commissions and badges from the executive office and training school staff. The new officers then recited the Conservation Pledge, led by WCO Doty McDowell, resident instructor. Special awards were also given, with selections made by the staff and/or fellow cadets, as follows: academic achievement, Kyle Jury (97.1%); Kevin Anderson, Jr. markmanship (460 out of 550 points) and fitness, and torch award, Eric Erdman for leadership.

One of the major topics of discussion at the monthly meeting of Bath Borough Council on Monday was the Historical Architectural Review Board (H.A.R.B.) and its future. The chairman, Councilman John Kearns, has been considering resigning from the board. He questioned whether the historic district should stay as large as it is; whether it should be reduced, and if indeed the board is needed at all. Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman said a H.A.R.B. is necessary for a certified historic district under state rules. Bath is locally and state recognized, and except for completion of paperwork could be eligible for a national historic district. She said other towns are envious of Bath, and Nazareth and Easton don’t have as much as Bath has in the type of 1800’s community architecture. Councilwoman Jennifer George said it is difficult to get volunteers, such as the H.A.R.B. in Bath has. She and Ms. Heckman agreed that it takes personal contact to get others to join. Mrs. Heckman added that without an historic district the town would be overrun like Orefield and Schnecksville in Lehigh County. Kearns would like the district reduced from its present stretch from East Main St. to Walnut, Chestnut and Main Streets, and perhaps have the duties of H.A.R.B. taken over by the Bath Planning Commission, while retaining architects that H.A.R.B. has now. Mrs. Heckman had been on H.A.R.B., but stepped down in view of her securing a grant for her property from the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce through Sharon Davis, the Borough Business Revitalization Coordinator for GLVCC. She volunteered to serve again if there is no conflict of interest or appearance of impropriety. Councilman Joseph Linsenmann also volunteered to serve. And when the audience was asked, two other women said they would be willing, Kathryn Roberts, esq., and Mahdi Bourhim. At that, Kearns said he would stay on for at least an-
other two months, and said they can all get together at the next H.A.R.B. meeting on the third Wednesday of the month, March 16. Home Occupation & Garbage Another subject of debate was the classification for charges on collection of garbage. Borough Manager Richard Klotz defined home occupation as outlined in a Bath ordinance. The question was if they are qualified to have garbage picked up by the borough’s carrier, J. P. Mascaro & Son, or if they will contract with some other hauler. Mrs. George cited what she perceives as unfairness in how garbage rates are charged, mostly in relation to volume. Klotz said Mascaro has three rates. The charges now for lists of 19 and 15 residents were questioned, and may stay the same for 2011. However, appeals for a lesser rate may be made in 2012. Other Matters • Mrs. Marjorie Rehrig and Mrs. Evelyn Hartzell of the Bath Museum told Council that the committee never intends to sell any of the museum artifacts, and this was
noted in a recent letter to the editor. They also complained that they were not notified that the municipal building roof had leaked water, which got into many of the items at the museum. Mrs. Rehrig said there are buckets and mops in one corner of the room, the items are wet or mildewed, and blinds are dirty. Klotz apologized and said that the problem will be cleaned up. Tar had been used for previous leaks, but this winter’s ice spelled more trouble. • Klotz announced that streets will be swept on Tuesday, March 22. In other parts of his report, Klotz said he is applying for two grants in connection with the streetscape project, and is often frustrated with details that need to be worked out with the funding sources; reported that Met-Ed wants to replace 109 street lights with others that give off an orange light, using less power, and which could mean a $358 a month savings on electricity; cross-walk signs may be put up on Walnut St. for pedestrians going to and from Christ Continued on page 7

Letters from our Readers Taxes and School District’s Plans To the Editor: Before anyone applauds the modest .75 mill property tax cut by the Northampton Area School Board, you must know the rest of the story. As reported, the school district can’t go over a property tax
increase of 1.7%. If they do go over, under Act 1, they must go to the voters to have the increase approved and they sure do not want to do that. Yes, there will be big cuts in many programs because the cash-strapped state wants to cut reimbursement back to 2006-2007 levels. The school
Greater Lehigh and Northampton area chambers Host panel on school funding By Joe Korba The Home News
The joint Northern Lehigh and Northampton Chambers of Commerce hosted a panel on Tuesday about the future of funding for our area schools. The program entitled “Funding the Future: The Cost of Education; How do we pay for it?” was held at Jessica’s Tea Room in Northampton. Speakers included Superintendents from local schools: Dr. Louise Donahue from Parkland, Joe Kovalchik from Northampton, Dr. Mary Anne Wright from Northwestern Lehigh and Michael Michaels from Northern Lehigh. The panel discussed strug-
gles faced by school districts in today’s economic climate and ways to handle these seemingly insurmountable fiscal problems. Dr. Donohue of Parkland called this budget cycle “the most challenging time in my career of over 30 years.” While admitting that each district has challenges unique to their respective communities the most difficult problems are universal. The panel presented many different solutions and, sometimes painful, compromises that must be made to ensure a balance is reached between financial realities and quality education.

Opinion Agricultural Exports and the Economic Recovery By Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack
As the United States and global economies work to recover from the worst recession in decades, American agriculture is helping to lead our nation’s recovery by shattering trade records, creating jobs here at home and ensuring affordable food for U.S. families. Thanks to one of the most productive eras in history for U.S. agriculture and a reputaboard is mum on the subject of where the cuts will be. However, the good citizens of Northampton have more to contend with than this current staggering economic condition. We have five members of the school board who are determined to build a new middle school, even as they are eliminating middle school teachers. They are doing this because they know that also under Act 1, the school district can incur more debt (in other words, raise our property taxes) by receiving an “exception” for the building project. So, don’t be fooled by the seemingly low increase of this year’s property taxes. To further along their mad building project, the five members approved borrowing a quarter of a million dollars from the general fund to seek approval for the crazy middle school project. To date, the school district engineer, D’Huy Engineering, has already been paid more than $244,616 of the $250,000 borrowed. But hold onto your hats (or wallets)! This same firm, D’Huy Engineering, has received more than $4 million dollars from our taxpayers from 2001 to present. Much of these costs went to failed building projects. Remember the pig farm, etc.?? On Tuesday, March 15, a group of us will be appealing the East Allen Township Supervisors decision to change the laws for the school district so that they can build their middle school. We hope wiser officials will prevail. As a final caution, be wary of David Gogel, Jean Rundle and Robert Koch. They broke their word to us and have spearheaded this middle school project. Gogel, we have heard, is running for both Moore Township Supervisor and School Director. We know now that we can’t believe him. He and the other two have done enough damage, don’t you think?

tion for high quality products, farmers and ranchers are breaking records for sales of U.S. farm goods abroad and looking forward to some of the best net incomes in decades. U.S. Agriculture even has a trade surplus, expected to be worth $47.5 billion this year. Agricultural exports mean jobs for Americans here at home – every $1 billion in farm exports supports roughly 8,000 jobs in the United States in agriculture and related industries. This year, exports will support over a million such jobs. And for the rest of the nation, the quality, affordable domestic food supply means that the average American spends less than ten percent of their paycheck on groceries – less than in many other developed nations. In the years ahead, USDA will work harder than ever to give agricultural businesses even greater opportunities to grow. We want famers to know that opportunities exist beyond our shores. Today, only 1 percent of U.S. companies export, and yet 95 percent of the world’s consumers live outside the borders of the United States. We can do better to reach those consumers. Smart trade deals that increase exports, support job creation, and bolster the American economy can help build for our future. Right now, the Obama administration is working to move for-
Op/Ed ward on proposed U.S. trade agreements with South Korea, then Panama and Colombia – nations with 100 million consumers. Successful approval would bring billions of dollars to U.S. agriculture and immediate benefits by eliminating tariffs on a range of agricultural products. Since 2009, when I became Agriculture Secretary, USDA officials have negotiated hard to open markets for U.S. farm goods. Thanks to the President’s National Export Initiative, which challenged U.S. businesses to double all exports by the end of 2014, USDA is now reaching out to producers and agribusinesses, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises, with information about how to tackle the export market. Whether it means directly connecting U.S. companies and trade groups with foreign customers or advocating more forcefully for their interests with other governments, we are working to expand economic opportunities for Americans. For decades, U.S. agriculture has helped to feed a hungry world, added jobs to our economy and reduced our trade deficit. As we work to strengthen the economy to win the future, don’t be surprised that American farmers and ranchers are once again helping to lead the way.

Be My Valentine
I don’t know about you, but I appreciate that Valentine’s Day is nestled in the deadness of winter. The flow of love between spouses and children and friends in celebration of the event brings life and warmth that I desperately need when temperatures skate (ice skate that is) around the freezing mark. But love of another dimension embraced my heart this year as it never had before. I have believed since my childhood that the Bible is God’s Valentine Card to us, an extended love letter from a wouldbe fiancé to His would-be fiancée. But my familiarity had bred complacency. I suspect that most everyone reading this devotional has received at least one love letter during the course of his/her life. Maybe you never went on to marry that other person, but I’m more than moderately persuaded that you read that letter often and voraciously. You may have pressed it close to your heart, smelled it for perfume or cologne and preserved it in a very special place. Why? Well if I have to tell you the answer, then you obviously never received one! I’ve kept every one of my wife’s love letters to me. And no, I’m not about to share any excerpts publicly. I’m transparent, just not that transparent. But occasionally, especially when Mari (that’s my wife) treks off to Finland for her annual home visit, I pull out a couple of them and reread them. They’re the next best thing to having her right there. Why is it that we don’t treasure God’s Word as even more endearing? Why is it that we’re not knocked head over heels by His love letter to us? For in it we read of His Son Who “loved us so much that He gave Himself up for us,” a clear reference to His sacrificial death for our eternal benefit. Now when I “see” Jesus suspended on that ageless cross, I “picture” Him down on one knee, lovingly looking up into my eyes as He requests,“Will you be my bride?” How could anyone respond to that kind of love with anything less than “I do”?

Three big days this month. Ash Wednesday was this week; St. Patrick’s Day is next Thursday, March 17th, and SPRING will be here on March 20th . Should have mentioned Fastnacht Day, which was on Tuesday, and all those delicious doughnuts I crammed down. Wednesday was the start of Lent, so I’ll lose some of the pounds I gained all in one day, and hopefully get to church more. . . .Sure was a lot of wind Sunday night into Monday. I even saw one car in town covered with snow. It must have come from the Poconos, ‘cause we only had flurries. Anyhow, the sun is shining as I pen this letter, and that makes you feel better. . . .Bowling season for the league players must be winding down, from what I read in the standings. We have some mighty good bowlers in these parts,
too, as I look over the scores. Elmira always does better than me. Somehow, she can throw a curve that hits around the middle of the pins. Me, I just throw wildly, and offtimes wind up in the gutter. Anyhow, it’s good exercise. . . .Congrats to Ye Ed’s son, Kevin. He just graduated from game protectors’ school after a year of training out Harrisburg way, and his boyhood idol was Dick Anderson from Nazareth, who’s now retired. . . .Gas prices are going up faster than you can say Jack Robinson. Wow! Every day there’s a jump. It’s getting so that I’m soon gonna take my bicycle out of mothballs and use that to get around. That’ll really give me some exercise! . . . .

four people from Northampton found out, three more in a rural Philly area, and three more that the Lions found out about in Ohio. The problem is people and the respect for human life that is needed. I suppose it will never change. It hasn’t in thousands of years, so all we can do is hope and pray for the best, and that none of the evil in this world affects us personally. Lent is a time to do some extra praying that we will overcome evil with good. This world sure needs it! . . . . Enough preaching. I hope you all have a good week. See you in seven.

Heavy Metal Toxicity
If you think that heavy metals such as lead, mercury and the like cannot be affecting your health, you’re wrong. The truth is you do not need to have been raised in a lead factory or played with broken thermometers as a child to be afflicted. Imagine if you were never exposed to these disastrous metals but they were transferred to you via your mother’s placenta, when breast fed or through commercial infant formulas. The placenta does not offer a barrier to lead or beryllium and can pass through to the fetus. It isn’t just this maternal or lactation transfer of heavy metals that can cause clinical manifestations it is living here on our own toxic environment that can cause build up of various metals and perhaps a clinical disease develops as a result. It isn’t just in our children; it is afflicting many of us adults as well. Eating fish alone exposes you to chemicals and metals that if you knew would cause you to stop altogether. Our body does have the gastrointestinal and urinary system to get rid of toxins; however our body can also store these toxins. For example lead can and does store itself up in our bones. Bone lead can recirculate into our blood and bodies
due to such trauma as broken bones, chemotherapy, pregnancy, lack of physical exercise and endocrine dysfunction as cited in research articles. Isn’t this just amazing? Why haven’t we heard about this sooner? Perhaps that is why you find yourself feeling lousy or suffering from some undiagnosible condition whether it is physical or psychological. Once you simply determine your heavy metal load you can work towards working them out of your body. There are a few methods of chelating these metals out of the body. Treatment of appropriate body weight doses with oral meso2, 3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) is what I recommend to our patients. It appears as though DMSA has an affinity for lead, meaning it appears to work on the lead levels first, then moves on to the next which appears to be mercury. I recently read a fascinating article from the Alternative Medicine Review which was a case report on a newborn infant who wasn’t thriving and was diagnosed with Bartter Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the renal or urinary system. At eleven months, the parents sought treatment at a natural clinic which tested metal levels and found elevat-
ed lead, copper and beryllium. After treatment protocols were in place, levels dropped and the baby began to develop normally and added weight, growth and development as a result. Simply amazing! Realize in this particular case the illness was dramatic and so was the response to non-invasive oral DMSA chelation. This makes us further wonder again about ourselves and our potential exposure. It did for me as my levels of lead and mercury were, respectively, 4.2 (normal < 2) and 7.5 (normal < 3). Up to the writing of this article I have not begun a formal heavy metal detoxification program as that appears not to be the first item

6 THE HOME NEWS March 10-16, 2011
By Pete Fritchie
BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷ March is the month baseball fans have been waiting for. After seeing no baseball since the World Series--won by San Francisco--all teams train for opening day all during March. Florida is the home of more teams than those out west and Americans living in the
eastern half of the country often enjoy escaping the last of winter and seeing the first of baseball, in Florida. The Gulf Coast of Florida is the site of more spring training locations than the east coast. The Toronto Blue Jays train in Dunedin (just above Clearwater), the Philadelphia Phillies train in Clearwater, and the New York Yankees train in Tampa. Five more Major League teams train farther down the west coast: The Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, the Baltimore Orioles in Sarasota, the Tampa Bay Rays in Port Charlotte and both the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers. Training games last until March 29 or 30th.
Suburban all-stars beat Bethlehem league in darts
No regular games were played this week, but the batting stars of teams in the Suburban and Bethlehem City Inter-church Dart Baseball leagues matched up in a best-of-five series for the 38th time. The Suburbans won three games to two. Suburban, 4-2 In game one, Suburban waited until the 6th inning to go ahead 1-0, then scored two more runs in the 7th. City picked up a run in the 8th to make the score 4-1, but Suburban held on and won it 4-2, with the final run coming on a homer by Mark Talijan. City, 6-2 City started with four runs in the 2nd inning of game two, highlighted by a home run by Dorothy Williams. Suburban answered with a pair of runs in the 4th, but City sealed the victory with single runs in the
7th and 8th innings to win 6-2. City, 12-2 This one was all City League, as they jumped out with three runs in the 1st inning, Suburban coming back with a pair of runs in the 4th inning. But City could do no wrong after that, getting two more runs in the 7th and seven in the 9th inning. Suburban, 7-4 Suburban got the head start in game four with a run in the 2nd and four in the 5th to go up, 5-0. City responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the 3rd, to make it 5-2. Then in the 6th, Jennifer Erkinger homered for Suburban to make it 6-2, and another run scored for them in the 7th. City picked up two runs in the bottom of the 9th, but it wasn’t enough and Suburban won 7-4.
BATH BOWLING Three-way Tie Evolves For Lead in Bath Legion Sunday Bowling Loop Everyone is fighting for that almighty first place spot, and now there’s a three-way tie among Weinberg’s Whiners, Tony’s Kahonies and Holland’s Heroes in the Bath American Legion Post #470 Sunday Bowling League. Bowling was pretty good this past week with only six bowlers above the 600 mark – Mike McCollum, 647; Jimmy Haja, 641; Scott Weinberg, 621; Mark Moyer, 610,; George Hyde, 617, and Rich Kuehner, 615. Twenty Bowlers were above their averages, led by Charlie Walker as our BOA with his plus-70. His competition included Jake Oberholtzer, +68; John Gostony, +61; Glendy Glendenmoyer, +64; and Chris Nemeth, +54. On the other side of the scores there were only 16 bowlers below their averages, with Tony Holva leading them as our BUA with his minus-58. Suburban, 5-0 The final game was all Suburban as the City team couldn’t tie any of their hits together. Suburban won 5-0 with three runs in the 2nd and two in the 4th, and that wrapped up their victory in the series. Top hitters in both leagues were as follows: Suburban – Rick Hasonich, 7 for 18; Zack Hill, 6 for 10; Brian Frankenfield, 5 for 13 with a home run, and Jennifer Erkinger, 4 for 13 including a homer. City – Dick Hacker, 9 for 17; Travis Frankenfield, 7 for 18; Dale Mack, 6 for 13; Tom Walz, 5 for 14, and Paul Messman, 5 for 16. Regular action resumes next Monday. STANDINGS

Recreation report given To Moore Supervisors By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Sterling Laubach reported on a number of items for the recreation department at last Tuesday’s meeting of the Moore Township Board of Supervisors. He requested weed and seed money for the recreation center, noting that last year $3,500 was needed. Chairman Maynard Campbell said fertilizer should be put on the fields in the near future so that the grass is growing well when fields are in use. Prices will be secured so that an order can be placed. Baseball and spring soccer are just ahead, with an opening day ceremony set for April 16. Basketball courts will be used in March for baseball try-outs. Laubach noted that Zoning Officer Jason Harhart informed the recreation committee that advertising signs cannot be posted on the baseball outfield fences, when suggestions were made to that effect. Laubach said number signs need to be posted for the English Road and Monocacy Drive entrances to the recreation center. The supervisors enacted an ordinance in late 2010 that all residences must have numbers that can be seen at night so that emergency personnel can spot them. In a final note, Laubach reported that the center’s hiking trail is in good shape, considering the kind of winter we’ve had. Other Matters • A sewage planning module for the Frantz subdivision was approved. • Pastor Ray Malec of Concordia Lutheran Church in a letter requested reduction on a letter of credit for improvements that were completed some time ago. It could be reduced down to $30,000. Township engineer Al Kortze will make an inspection. • The Kemmerer Corporation requested a time exten-

“We Rock For Autism” Rocks For The Cause On April 9
Local philanthropic organization We Rock has announced its latest benefit concert in the Lehigh Valley. We Rock For Autism will be held on April 9th, 2011, at The Garfield Hotel & Grille, 1750 Main Street, Northampton. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. Scheduled bands are Friar’s Point (blues), Dina Hall & The Backbeat (poprock), The Connie Edinger Trio (classic rock covers), and Dan & Craig (acoustic). MCs are Matt Metal of 90.3 WXLV and Blake Dannen of 93.3 WMMR. According to autism advocacy organization Autism Speaks, autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S., affects an estimated 1 in 110 children, and costs the nation over $35 billion a year. We Rock For Autism on April 9th will be a $5 donation at the door, with all proceeds going to the Lehigh Valley chapter of Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks funds global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; raises public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and brings hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We Rock joins Autism Speaks in their commitment to raising the funds necessary to support these goals. For more information, visit We Rock on Facebook or www.autismspeaks.org. We Rock was started in 2007 by Matt Metal, a longtime supporter of the Lehigh Valley music scene and radio show host on 90.3 WXLV. It’s a labor of love for Metal to blend his interests in local live music and supporting his community. “Maybe one day, events such as ours will make a difference and no child will have to go through this disease or no mother, daughter, sister, or friend will have to battle breast cancer.”

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Northampton, Allen Twsp. at Odds over sewer agreement
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
In his Northampton Borough Manager’s report on Thursday, Gene Zarayko noted as part of the Public Works and Sewer Committee notes for Councilman Joseph Leitgeb, Jr. that “There has been no communication from Allen Township pertaining to the expired borough / township sewer agreement.” This triggered questions by Councilman Robert McHale. Zarayko said that a new draft agreement had been written, in which user fees were increased from $2.95 to $3.81 per 1,000 gallons. Under the agreement it would give Allen Township 160,000 gallons, or enough for all their approved
subdivisions, amounting to 761 homes. The past contract agreement expired in 2008, and Zarayko said they’ve been negotiating since 2009. Since that past agreement expired, a cease and desist order was given on any more home hook-ups, Zarayko said. Hook-ups were also increased from the previous $2,500 to $3,800. The $2,500 fee had been in effect since 1993. Apparently, Allen Township is not happy, Zarayko said, and allegedly there was a comment, “We’ll see you in court.” Allen Township’s Board of Supervisors semi-monthly meeting is tonight, March 10, at 7 p.m. Other Matters • Last month, Council ap-

TRASHY TALK
Use only cold water when running your garbage disposer. Why? Cold water hardens greasy matter, making it easier to grind up and preventing grease from sticking to the insides of the pipes. Of course, when not using the garbage disposer, it’s perfectly fine to run hot water through the disposer. Never use chemical solvent drain compounds such as Drano or Liquid-Plumr in your garbage disposer. These can damage the disposer. Use a disposer cleaner regularly to eliminate odor-causing bacteria and keep it running smoothly. Miller Supply Ace Hardware will help you dispose of your chores quickly and easily!

In his annual report, Gillespie noted less sewage ran into the system last year, down from 1,071,000 gallons to 958,000. This was attributed to more efficient toilets and shower heads, and improvements in the system. The infrastructure of pipelines in the borough is very good. • An ordinance may be considered later about garbage cans and chairs being placed in streets after snowfalls when spaces are cleared for parking by residents.
