Pennies for Patients

Northampton manager fears Higher road bids based on oil

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

SIEGFRIED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in Northampton had a celebration assembly on Friday, March 18, after completing their campaign to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society from February 7 to March 1. This was the third year that the children have raised money in support of the blood cancer patients, and Student Council Advisor Gary Pierzga said it was especially heartwarming this year. Members of Student Council are shown holding a banner thanking the students for raising $5, 556.61.

Students raise $5,556 To aid cancer patients

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Northampton Borough Elementary Student Council had the most successful campaign in three years and celebrated it at a student assembly in Siegfried Elementary School on Friday, turning over $5,556.61 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

MRS. JUDY STETTLER of Northampton is surrounded by balloons as she officially retired on Friday as a custodian at Siegfried Elementary School, where she worked for 15 years. Altogether, she was a custodian in the Northampton Area School District for 20-1/2 years, starting at George Wolf Elementary in Bath. She plans to travel and play the casinos.

One of her travels will be to attend her daughter’s wedding in Idaho.

Altogether, $12,849.99 was raised in the three years – $3,643.72 in the first year and $3,649.66 last year, according to Student Council Advisor Gary Pierzga.

He said the students had collection boxes at home and brought their money to collection boxes in school, and by the time it was all over, between February 7 and March 1, a new record had been set.

Pierzga thanked Linda Stepp of KNBT Bank for helping to count all the money; Police Chief Ron Morey for helping to lift the heavy buckets of change, and Robin Lutz, president of the PTA for their help.

More than 83,000 pennies were included in the collection and Pierzga said that, stretched end to end, it would have covered several streets in Northampton.

“You never cease to amaze me. When I think you’ve done so much, you do a little more.”

All the money raised will go the society’s blood cancer patients and for its work in improving the quality of life for them and their families. Receiving the check was Megan Evans, school and youth coordinator for the society. She thanked the student body for Continued on page 4

Northampton Borough Manager Gene Zarayko received permission on Thursday to prepare bid specifications for road materials, so that bids can be received.

However, he said with the increasing cost of oil, the borough may have to cut back on its road paving program for 2011.

He did advise residents to report any potholes in their neighborhood so that the road crews can repair them.

UGI is required to replace concrete and blacktop if tearing up roads to repair natural gas lines, most of which are

cast iron.

Other Matters • Final date to pay refuse bills is March 31. After that, there is a 10% penalty. So far, $891,700 has been collected.

• A report from the U.S. Census is that Northampton’s population has grown by 521 persons, for a total of 9,926, a 5.5% jump. The median age is 40 and 18.7% are age 65 or older.

• The public works department has been busy: Reconstructing a roof at the 26th Street playground; installing a split rail fence along Howertown Rd. south of Dry Run Creek, after removal of a chain link fence; installing

safety rails on bleachers and painting picnic tables; and will soon install storm drains on the Center St. parking lot before the lot is repaved.

They will also move a flagpole from the veterans memorial plot and re-install it at the Atlas Sports Complex. A local businessman is buying a new flagpole for the plot.

• Councilman Robert McHale reported that the Pa. House of Representatives has repealed the sprinkler requirement for new homes, and the Senate may also consider it. He said this is good news for home buyers.

St. Patty’s Day Parade

STUDENTS at the George Wolf Elementary School in Bath held a hat parade in honor of St. Patrick’s Day on Thursday, March 17. They used their imagination to come up with all shapes and sizes of green hats. Prompting them to “wave for the papparazzi” was Principal Robyn Ginther, shown here in her St. Patrick’s Day get-up.

The BHCWA Spritz Water wisdom from the BertschHokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed Association

Name ThatNews Trout

By Bud Cole The opening day of the trout season is a sure sign that spring is here. Good quality streams mean good quality fishing. The BertschHokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed Association is committed to protecting and improving the 80-square mile watershed drained by the Bertsch, Hokendauqua and Catasauqua Creeks and their tributaries. A major goal is to ensure a clean watershed and quality drinking water for current and future generations. The opening day for trout fishing in the BHCWA watershed is Saturday, April 2 at 8:00 a.m.

The brook, rainbow, and brown trout are the three trout species stocked in watershed streams.

The brook trout is greenish black with wavy worm-like markings. The white-edged fins and tail are used as a key to identifying the brookie.

The rainbow’s key marking is the pinkish band down the middle of the side.

The brownie has a brownish back and sides becoming somewhat yellow toward the belly. The dark color and lack of spots on the tail are keys to Continued on page 10

Op/Ed News Sermonette The Rev. Barry Mitchell

Sermonette

Pastor, Emmanuel’s Lutheran Church

To Tell the Truth…

A fellow had been away fishing all day and had no luck. Not wanting to go home skunked, he stopped off at a local fish shop and asked the storekeeper to pick out three of the largest trout that he had. “Shall I wrap them for you?” asked the fishmonger.

“No,” replied the fisherman. “I’ll stand here by the door, and you throw them to me from behind the counter.” “Why in the world do you want me to throw them to you?” asked the shopkeeper. “Well,” said the fisherman, “I’ve been fishing all day, and I haven’t caught a thing. Now I may not be a good fisherman, but I’m a worse liar. And when I get home, my wife and kids are going to ask me if I caught anything . . . and I want to be able to tell them the truth.”

Some people are born poker players. Looking into their faces, you can’t tell whether or not they are bluffing or holding four aces. Others couldn’t tell the tiniest white lie without blushing.

In a world that has learned to never believe a politician, the ability to lie would seem a valuable asset. It is to this world that God offers the eighth commandment “you shall not bear false witness” - in short, you shall not lie.

Even the most rabid truth-tellers occasionally pass along a bit of gossip that they have not thoroughly checked out. Next to the weather, the favorite American pastime seems to be to tell a little story about someone or something that we heard from somebody else.

Gossip can hurt, even kill. When we spread it around we destroy reputations, self-respect and, in the long haul, ourselves.

God’s plan tells us that we shall not tell what we do not know to be true. When was the last time you cared enough for someone to check out the story before passing it along? Maybe today is a great time to make a new resolution - to rise above the temptation to tell what we’ve heard, no matter how reliable the source.

After all, God thought it important enough to add it to the 10 commandments!

In this Lenten season, Christians remember that we all fail – we sin and we cannot free ourselves from our bondage to sin.

This is why we take time at this time of year to repent, to turn our lives around, to reflect on our sin and ask forgiveness. Jesus offers that forgiveness, which was won for us on the cross. And for that, we are eternally thankful.

May God’s gracious love in Christ Jesus our Lord lead you to the truth and fill you with respect for others and yourself.

Ah, springtime – when flower plants are popping up out of the ground, robins are looking for worms, and trees are starting to sprout leaves. So what do we get on the first full day of spring? – SNOW! More than an inch of it fell Sunday night into Monday up along 512! There was rain to our south, but here we got more of winter and we thought it was over. I put my shovel away, so this time I just let it melt. All the fields had melted off south of town by the afternoon, but up the road a piece, snow was still hanging on and it was foggy. too.

Looks like the Gracedale issue will be on the ballot come the primary election, at least that’s the last I heard.

There’s always appeals, so you never know for sure until the last minute. Haven’t made up my mind yet what is best – sell it to private hands or keep it in the county, and maybe pay more taxes. Depends on whether the real story comes out or not, I reckon. . . . No, a couple local couples going on a cruise together aren’t gonna play the hearts card game. . . .

Prized Possession

In today’s economic climate I have been hearing the words gold and silver more than any other time in my entire life. With significant unrest in Middle Eastern countries we are all brutally aware that our imports of “liquid gold” aka oil, and the corresponding price that we as consumers pay is in a continual state of flux and uncertainty. This oil, a prized possession, is weaved within the fabric of our everyday lives from transportation to clothing to our food. Virtually every industry and item can be traced back to some reliance on oil.

Now our latest world crisis, the unprecedented Japanese earthquake, our hearts focus on the most prized possession, that being, life.

Above all, the most prized possession is our life, our health and our loved ones.

Have you ever faced a stroke, heart disease, cancer, or devastating accident? Not just affecting us but our parents, siblings, spouse, or Lord forbid, our children. No easy answer for this suffering, is there?

BATH BOWLING Weinberg’s Whiners Forge Ahead in Bath Legion Sunday Bowling League

Two of the three teams that were tied for first place were still leading as they whipped opponents 4 to 0 this past week in the Bath American Legion Post #470 Sunday Bowling League.

But this week, things changed, and Weinberg’s Whiners found themselves in first place, all alone, as they took three points to go up by two games ahead of the number two Tony’s Kahonies. Actually, there’s only three games between the top three teams, and we’re getting down to the last two weeks in the season.

This is a round-up of the past two weeks’ action: Week of March 13 Bowling was fair, with a few good scores by Mark Moyer, 674; John Szerencits, 633; Scott Weinberg, 519; “Butch” Holland, 612; Rich Kuehner, 606; Joe Smith, 603; and Matt Cser, 600. Eighteen bowlers were above their average,

East Allen zoning hearing Continued to April 19

By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

There were no arguments heard or decision made at the March 15 hearing of the East Allen Township Zoning Board in regards to #201006, redistricting of the zoning districts. The addition of two residents to the original appeal; Timothy Laubach and Michelle Bollinger and change in representation to Attorney Michael Shay brought procedural change to the original appeal that

Attorney Erik Shock felt he did not have proper time to prepare for. It was decided by members of the Board that Mr. Shay would be given time to examine and prepare for the changes until the next meeting scheduled for April 19.

As the meeting was the first of the new year, the board also reorganized with all past positions remaining the same: Bennett Koppenhaver – Chairperson; Harold Brink, Vice Chairman; Maryann Moravek, Secretary; Michael

Mayors, legislators Delivering Meals on Wheels to seniors

Meals on Wheels of Northampton County hosted “Mayor for Meals Day” this Wednesday, March 23 and tomorrow (Friday, March 25) will have “Legislators for Seniors Day” as a part of Meals on Wheels Association of America’s “March for Meals” campaign.

Yesterday morning Mayors Donald Wunderler of Bath, Thomas Reenock of Northampton, Luke Duignam of Tatamy, and Sal Panto of Easton showed their support by delivering meals to homebound seniors and adults in need in Northampton County.

On Friday, State Representatives Marcia Hahn and Justin Simmons, as well as Marta Gabriel (representing Senator Pat Toomey) and Jesse Saazor (representing Senator Robert Casey) will participate in “Legislators for Seniors Day” when they will also be delivering meals.

“We’re excited about having these distinguished Mayors and Legislators participate in our March for Meals activities, in addition to the thousands of other representatives across the nation,” said JoAnn Bergeron Nenow, Northampton County Meals on Wheels executive director.

March on Wheels seeks to raise awareness of senior hunger and to encourage action on the part of the local community. Senior nutrition programs across the United States, like Meals on Wheels of Northampton County, promote March for Meals in their local communities through public events, partnerships with local businesses, volunteer recruitment and fundraising initiatives. The events this week are showing involvement of elected officials.

“We thank the local leaders for stepping up to the plate and joining our mission to end senior hunger in America by the year 2020,” said MOWAA president and CEO Enid Borden.

For more than 35 years, Meals on Wheels of Northampton County has helped thousands of adults within the Lehigh Valley continue to live independently by providing nutritious meals and other services through

stocked as an angling novelty.

Their golden color stands out in the streams, but they are a challenge to catch.

Catch-and-release fishing is becoming more and more popular. If planning to release, refrain from fighting the fish to exhaustion. Keep the fish in the water and wet your hands. Minimize handling by using a hemostat to unhook the trout. If the trout does not swim away immediately, hold it gently with the head facing the current. Move it slowly back and forth until it swims away.

Remember, we need quality water sources to ensure quality fishing.

Our next event we will be partnering with the Hokendauqua Trout Unlimited (TU) and the Catasauqua High School Trout in the Classroom group on Monday, March 28 for a clean up at the skate park in Northampton and then on April 30 with Hokey TU for another clean up in the same area along the Hokendauqua Creek.

Worship 10:15 9:00 a.m. p.m.

The Lehigh Township Public Works Department will begin its spring curbside leaf collection program on Monday, April 4, 2011. The program will continue for two weeks. Leaves must be placed at the road by the Monday of the scheduled week for pickup. The Maintenance Department will be making a one-time pass on each Township road based on the schedule below. The crew will be starting the northern area of each section.

Leaves only shall be raked to the shoulder of the road for pickup. Leaves shall be kept off of the roadways. Leaves shall also be free of sticks or other material.

In addition to the collection of leaves, the Maintenance Department will also be doing a curbside collection of brush. Brush must be kept separate from leaf material. Brush shall be cut in lengths not to exceed 3 feet and bundled in a manner that will not exceed 15 pounds. This collection will follow the same schedule as the leaf collection.

The Public Works crew may refuse pickup if inappropriate material is found within the leaves or if the above guidelines are not followed.

The collection schedule is as follows: April 4 and April 5 Northwest quadrant of the Township.

April 6 and April 7 Northeast quadrant of the Township.

April 11 and April 12 Southwest quadrant of the Township.

April 13 and April 14 Southeast quadrant of the Township.

Maps showing the collection area are posted at the Municipal Building.

Ways to Go Green Grasscycling - The Easy Way*: Grasscycling is as easy as it gets. Instead of mowing, bagging, moving, piling and then turning your grass clippings you simply let the grass fall onto and decompose your lawn.

Essentially grass cycling is darn close to doing nothing. Call it very thin sheet composting. It mimics nature’s decomposition - a process which usually happens in thin layers and rarely in the big hot compost piles we concoct.

Doing almost nothing helps your lawn and it soil. Grass clippings have an NPK of 4-0.5-2, plus small amounts of other plant nutrients. In fact by bagging your grass clippings you are removing about half the Nitrogren fertilizer you paid for and put on your lawn. Grasscycling feeds the soil microbes and can provide up to 30% of your lawn’s fertilizer needs.

Leaving your grass clippings on your lawn does not contribute to lawn thatch build up. In fact it may even decrease thatch build up. The microbes chowing down on the grass clippings are the same critters who eat thatch. Dethatching the lawn may become a chore of the past with consistent grasscycling. *Information courtesy of www.the-compost-gardener.com
