$204K for new sidewalks On S. Chestnut and Green Sts.
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Bath Borough Council at their monthly meeting on July 1 approved a low bid from Grace Industries of East Allen Township to replace sidewalks on S. Chestnut and Green Sts. for a price of $204,000. The project, made possible with a county CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) grant, will start on July 15 and be finished by August 20. Borough Manager Thomas Petrucci was authorized to execute the contract, as they meet all specifications for the CDBG sidewalk and curb
American flags are at many headstones in Green Mount Cemetery, Bath. Dozens have been taken by vandals. – Home News photo
Vandals stealing Flags from cemetery Vandals have been stealing small American flags from headstones at Green Mount Cemetery in Bath. Colonial Regional Police, who have responded to the incidents this past week, called it “institutional vandalism”, a federal offense that is a felony. According to the caretakers at the cemetery that is located between Northampton, Broad and Penn Streets in the borough, the vandals have ripped the flags off the sticks and left
them there. The bulk of the incidents have occurred in the oldest part of the cemetery. Hundreds of flags have been placed at other headstones by the Bath American Legion where deceased veterans are buried. The Legion has replaced at least six dozen flags that were taken. Call Police If anyone has information that could lead to the arrest of the vandals, please call Colonial Regional Police at 610861-4820.
project of May 2013. Two other bids that were received amounted to $249,000 and $332,000. Grace Industries was also the contractor that did major streetscape work on Main Street in the borough. Other Actions Council also authorized Petrucci to prepare necessary documentation to incur debt with ESSA Bank & Trust in accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Unit Debt Act, and to advertise the proposed resolution. The money will be spent for the Keystone Park pavilion and the borough will
be reimbursed by PEMA and FEMA as the result of storm damage. A resolution passed in a 4-2 vote to submit an application to the Commonweath Financing Authority (CFA) for the greenways, trails and recreation program grant for the purpose of developing a Bath walking path. Part of Rails to Trails, it would go from the sewer plant and follow Mill St. While originally part of the trail plans, a property at 224 W. Main St. will be sold for a minimum of $25,000.

School board briefed on Traffic flow with new school By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Things are moving along well, the engineer for the new middle school project told the Northampton Area School Board at their meeting Monday night. He also told Supt. Joseph Kovalchik that one important part, a new Stadium Drive, should be completed by August. Kovalchik then went on to tell how and where cars will be parked for students and staff, and the routes they will take to get there – all with pro-
viding good traffic flow, while maintaining safety. The exact details are being updated and will be available on the school district’s website. During the morning only, buses will go up the new Stadium Drive and turn around at the public library. Staff will be coming in off Laubach Ave. at North Drive and after classes will exit off Stadium Drive. Parent drop-offs will be at the high school. Middle school students will be dropped off at the side doors of the high

Kovalchik said security will be stationed at the hot spots, with as many as 23 personnel watching that things go safely. Kovalchik also revealed that as many as six home football games this upcoming season will be played at Andrew Leh Stadium in Nazareth. Continued on page 11

You send me to Harrisburg to serve as your voice in the General Assembly. You expect state government to take care of your money as you would your own personal budget, paying bills on time and spending wisely on only what you can afford. For these reasons, I voted to support the budget bill that was signed into law Sunday, June 30, for fiscal year 2013-14. For the third consecutive year, Pennsylvania’s budget was accomplished in a timely fashion. It spends $28.376 billion, a 2.3 percent increase over last year, which is within the rate of inflation. Most importantly, it does so without raising taxes or incurring new debt. In other words, it does not ask more from you, the taxpayer. Public education, one of the core functions of govern-

Support for Head Start and Pre-K Counts early childhood programs is increased by $6.4 million. Funding for the school districts in the 138th District will increase over the 2012-13 budget as follows: • Bethlehem Area School District - $1,422,855 (3.1 percent increase). • Nazareth Area School District - $629,781 (4.1 percent increase). • Northampton Area School District - $681,655 (3.1 percent increase). • Pen Argyl Area School District - $220,782 (3 percent increase). The budget also included additional funding for our career and technology schools to purchase new equipment, which is good news for Bethlehem Area Vo-Tech and the Career Institute of Technology in Easton.

ing to state Rep. Joe Emrick (R-Northampton). The Route 512/Main Street bridge over Brushy Meadow Creek in Bangor opened, two months ahead of schedule. The bridge that connects Main Street in Tatamy with Uhler Road in Forks Township will open to traffic Wednesday, July 10, following a 10 a.m. ribbon cutting. Emrick issued this statement after receiving the news from PennDOT: “Anyone who uses these bridges on a regular basis is pleased to hear news concerning an end to their travel troubles. We are happy to be able to deliver this information, considering the problems these closings have caused. “Grace Industries of Bath, the general contract for the Bangor project, and Bi-State Construction of Easton, which is overseeing the Tatamy Bridge project, should be applauded for their efforts. In the case of the Route 512 bridge, the nearly 8,800 vehicles that use that route on a daily basis will be very happy to see detour signs no longer in place.” Questions about this or any other legislative issue should be directed to Emrick’s Mt. Bethel office at (570) 897-0401 or his Nazareth office at (610) 746-5090.

Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for these patients in need.” Nationwide, donations through the Red Cross were down approximately 10 percent in June, resulting in about 50,000 fewer donations than expected. The shortfall is similar to what the Red Cross experienced in June 2012. June can be among the most challenging months of the year for blood and platelet donations as regular donors delay giving while they adjust to summer schedules. High school and college blood drives account for as much as 20 percent of Red Cross donations during the school year. Donations from those who usually give at these drives drop by more than 80 percent when school is out for the summer. In addition, a mid-week Independence Day holiday reduced the number of blood drives scheduled in early July. Many sponsors, especially businesses, were unable to host drives because

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Strong Bodies
My eleven year old son discovered something new and exciting recently….his muscles. He had been asked by another young man to go to the school weight room and “lift weights” with the older kids. He loved it. It’s all he has been talking about recently. Because of this new area of interest, it also opened up the door for a healthy discussion on, well, health! I asked my son Drew what he thought was the most important part in building a strong body. The obvious answer to him was how heavy he could lift, or at least that’s what the older boys said. I told him lifting a fair amount of weight was, in fact, important but not the most important. “Try again”, I told him. He came back with doing the movements the right way. He’s
correct in that good form is incredibly important but still I wanted something else. After a long pause and deep thought he hit the nail on the head. “What I eat” is how he responded. I said, “Bingo”. Yes, proper nutrition is perhaps the most important aspect to build strong lean bodies. It is the foundation from which everything else flows. Missing this part is foolish and can lead to slow gains after much effort. Every one of us should be eating well even if we are not lifting weights regularly. It is sad to say that the average American diet is full of fake, processed, nutrient devoid, food-like stuff. Because it is, our bodies suffer. They cannot repair nor rebuild. How can they? I still have a challenging time getting my son to eat a higher

Comment On Sports By Pete Fritchie

One of the mysteries in Major League baseball is how it’s often possible for a lowly rated team to develop mastery over the best in the standings. The current example of this, this season, is the way the Los Angeles Angels dominate the top ranked Detroit Tigers (Central division, American League). The Angels have swept the Tigers in several series, the
most recent in late June in Detroit. Angels pitchers made the highly rated (and highly paid) famous hitters in the Tigers lineup look weak--some highly rated hitters making more than fifteen million dollars a year! And they include those rated the best in the game. The Angels recently swept the Tigers for the second time, winning the last game 3-1 in the 10th inning, allowing Detroit’s famous lineup one run in ten innings! Detroit committed six errors in the first game alone! This ability to humiliate what many see as the top team in the A.L. is both a mystery and a black mark on manager Jim Leyland and his hitting coach.

Upon his retirement in January, Carl G. Roe will have spent more than eight years heading the agency. In making his announcement today, Roe said it has been his pleasure to serve Pennsylvania’s hunters and outdoor enthusiasts while working to benefit the state’s wildlife. “Serving with the Game Commission, particularly in the role of executive director, has been a great honor and privilege,” Roe said. “I take pride and satisfaction in the years I’ve spent here, and our many, many achievements. “I’ll never stop caring about Pennsylvania’s wildlife, but the time is right for me to step into retirement, where I’ll have more time to spend outdoors enjoying it,” he said. Upon his retirement Jan. 17, Roe will leave behind a lengthy list of accomplishments, some of which predate his appointment as executive director. Roe joined the Game Commission in 2001 as the agency’s first-ever long-range strategic planner. The Game Commission’s strategic plan, which charts a course for present and future wildlife management statewide, is a product of his efforts. Among its many objectives, the plan contains one of Roe’s most well-known guiding philosophies – that Pennsylvanians should un-

Robert Schlemmer, president of the Board of Game Commissioners, said Roe’s charismatic personality and his willingness to openly answer questions from the state’s sportsmen are among the qualities that will make him hard to replace. “He’s been quite an ambassador for hunters and other Pennsylvanians who enjoy wildlife, and the type of enthusiasm he brings to the job you just don’t find every day,” Schlemmer said. Schlemmer said the board will consider both internal and external candidates in finding the most-qualified person to replace Roe as administrator. He said the decision-making process will be guided by the board’s Policy Manual, and that the commissioners are seeking a comprehensive search and a smooth transition. “The board wishes Director Roe the very best in his retirement,” Schlemmer said. “His service to wildlife, sportsmen, sportswomen and the citizens of the Commonwealth shall remain his legacy for generations to come.” Roe’s work with the Game Commission represents his second career. He served with the U.S. Army from 1970 to 2000, taking part in combat tours in Vietnam and El Salvador and retiring with the rank of colonel. At his retirement, he was as Director of the Americas Studies at the U.S. Army War College’s Department of National Security & Strategy, where he taught strategic planning for national security. Roe is a lifelong scholar, earning a master’s degree in public administration from Continued on page 17 PA003267

derstand the Game Commission plays an integral role in the encounters people have with wildlife. To that end, Roe developed the “Connect with Wildlife” slogan the commission has used for several years. Roe later was named director of the commission’s Bureau of Administrative Services, where he spearheaded a transition to electronic hunting-license sales. Today, the Pennsylvania Automated License System helps nearly 1 million hunters annually to purchase licenses. The Board of Game Commissioners in December 2005 unanimously selected Roe as executive director. At the agency’s helm, Roe chalked countless achievements. More than 50,000 acres were added to the state game lands system during his tenure. He oversaw the expansion of bear season to four days, including a Saturday opener. He implemented the Mentored Youth Hunting Program. He helped establish wild pheasant recovery areas and doubled to 200,000 the number of pheasants released annually. He helped to enact a permit-only fisher trapping season in select areas of the state. He shifted the focus of the deer management program to take into account things like the herd’s health and habitat – a change that was lauded by independent outside audits. And, of course, bald eagles continued their remarkable comeback, and biggest population gains, during Roe’s tenure. The list goes on and on. All the while, Roe earned a reputation for being an approachable leader.

Helping Cats And Dogs Have Healthy Joints Your four-footed friends could benefit from your taking four important steps to keep your pets in peak condition. 1. See the vet for regular checkups. Dogs and cats age faster than humans. They can grow up—and grow old— almost before you know it. Regular wellness exams let your veterinarian diagnose, manage and protect against potential health problems before they become serious. Common health screenings recommended by the American Veterinary Medical Association include: • Immunizations • Parasite check • Heartworm check • Dental health exam • Blood panel • Chemistry panel • Urinalysis • Osteoarthritis check • Chest radiograph • Thyroid check • Blood pressure check. Since cats have a tendency to hide illness, cat owners may not realize there’s a problem without regular wellness exams. 2. Don’t let your pet have a fat chance of being fit. Obesity is a big health risk for pets. 3. Exercise their right to exercise. Dogs should get at least 20 minutes of exercise a day. Play with your cats often to keep them moving. 4. Keep their joints supple. Common signs of a joint problem include: For Dogs • Reluctance to climb stairs
• Falling behind on walks • Difficulty getting up in the morning or after a nap • Personality change For Cats • Reluctance to jump • Less prowling and chasing of prey • Lying around the house more often • Dislike of stroking, particularly of the back or tail • No longer seeking affection or other personality change. Fortunately, a solution to joint health that veterinarians have been prescribing for many years is now available in Walmart, PetSmart and Petco. Just as with humans, joint supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin can ease some pain by helping to support and protect cartilage. Cosequin is the original researched brand, scientifically formulated to support and help maintain the health of pets’ joints and connective tissue. It is also the only glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement that has been shown safe, effective and absorbable in peer-reviewed, published, controlled, U.S. veterinary studies.

Senate approves fiscal year 2013-14 state budget The Senate approved a state budget for Fiscal Year 2013-14 on June 30th that invests in education, public safety, economic development and job creation and provides support for essential social and health services and programs without any new taxes or tax increases, according to Senate Majority Whip Pat Browne. General Fund spending as proposed in House Bill 1437, which was signed into law by the Governor, was approved at $28.375 billion, a modest increase of $645 million or 2.3 percent over current year spending. “I am pleased that we passed a budget that increased funding for essential
state programs without raising taxes on our Pennsylvania citizens,” Senator Browne said. “For the third straight year, we were able to pass, on time, a reasonable budget given the economic difficult challenges facing the Commonwealth without sacrificing core government responsibilities.” As Co-Chair of both the bi-cameral, bipartisan Early Childhood Education Caucus and the Special Education Funding Commission, Senator Browne was instrumental in assuring that the state’s investment in education at all levels increased in this budget. The budget substantially increases state support for

early childhood education programs as funding for the Pre-K Counts program will rise by an additional $5 million to a total of $87.2 million and Head Start Assistance will receive an additional $2 million totaling $39.17 million. “I am especially pleased that House Bill 1437 increases state support for early childhood education programs,” Senator Browne said. “We all recognize the importance of programs like Pre-K Counts and Head Start and the benefits they provide to children, families, schools and communities. The money we’re investing today will be more than repaid over the coming years as the young people participating in these programs receive the mentoring that will enable them to become productive members of society in the future.” House Bill 1437 reaffirms the Senate’s commitment to providing Pennsylvania’s young people with a quality education from the youngest ages through their college years.

would cover the $15,000 grant from Pa. DCNR. Also approved last Monday was a design for designated municipal pole banners. They will replace banners of several years ago that have since become tattered and torn. Petrucci will apply for a grant that provides 50 gallons of paint. If approved, it will be used to paint the new pavilion green with white trim. It is called the 2013 Fresh Paint Days Pennsylvania grant. The
roof will be grey. Council also voted to purchase a grille for the pavilion. Other Matters • Noting that thousands of dollars have not been paid for sanitation collection at local properties from 2009 to 2011, Council authorized solicitor Blake Marles to file liens against those property owners. Those persons have already gone through the collection process. Each year has to be filed separately. It was also noted that Council wants the ordinance enforced which sets the time when garbage can be picked up.

Kazoo parade marks 4th of July celebration By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
An air of true appreciation of this country’s freedoms was shown on Thursday as the 4th of July was celebrated with a kazoo parade, patriotic songs
and a tribute to veterans in Nazareth Borough. Hundreds of marchers played kazoos as they followed parade grand marshal Abbe Graber from the high school to the Nazareth municipal build-

ing, where they were welcomed by a large crowd, who stood on the grass and sidewalks or sat on folding chairs bathed by the hot, humid weather. As the paraders reached the gathering point, “Miss G”, as Abbe is known here locally ever since she came from New York State years ago for the celebration, sang “God Bless America” as she stood in the car carrying her. Tina Smith of the NazarethBath Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Carl Strye, Jr. welcomed everyone. Introduced were State Representatives Marcia Hahn and Joe Emrick. In remarks it was noted that John Sebastian, who works at Martin Guitar, said Ms. Graber is “the greatest kazoo player in the world.” She’s a pretty good blues singer, too, and to mark the day and its weather,
she sang “Summertime” and played her kazoo. She told the crowd, ”God bless you, Nazareth, Pa.!” After the Dream Kids sang the national anthem, there were remarks by individuals fitting for Independence Day, notably that “We the people” have responded throughout our history whenever needed, and that “we do it with the help of God.” The program was arranged
by the Chamber’s Tina Smith, who echoed the sentiment of one speaker, “Freedom is not free.”The Dream Kids sang other songs of patriotism, all the while waving American flags. Flags were presented to all the veterans present, and the crowd applauded them. The Dream Kids sang the songs that are famous for the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines, and concluded with “This Land Is My Land.”

News Sermonette The Rev. Barry Mitchell Pastor, Emmanuel’s Lutheran Church
God With Us
The church I am blessed to serve is named Emmanuel, a Hebrew word that literally means “God is with us”. I suspect that the early settlers who made their way over a difficult mountain pass and found a place to settle gave it that name because they both hoped and prayed that God would be there with them. Apparently God was listening because it is now 290 years later and descendants of those original settlers continue to return to that same spot to offer thanks and praise for God’s blessings. It’s easy to think about God being far away in some heavenly place we can only reach after we die, but God’s promise is that he will be with us here and now. When Jesus left his disciples for the last time, he promised that the Holy Spirit would be with them. That same promise is given to all who are baptized. God really is here with us! I suspect that if we thought about God’s presence with us at all times, we might be more careful with our words, more loving with our actions and more willing to reach out to others with a helping hand. These are some of the very things that Jesus taught while here on earth. The prophet said that his name would be Emmanuel, for he truly was “God with us”. During these summer days and especially in our times of relaxation, rest and renewal, remember that God is with you. When you travel and when children head off to camp remember that God is with you. When you are struggling to make sense of life and worried about the days ahead, remember that God is with you. When you are afraid, remember that God is with you. Paul, writing to a church in Rome, said it so beautifully: “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8: 38-39 God is with us!

Budget Continued from page 8
public schools will see a 2.4 percent increase ($129.9 million) to $5.52 billion in FY 2013-14. That total is $40.4 million above the Governor’s request. In addition, the budget increased funding for school districts which face extraordinary challenges in educating its students. The Allentown School District will receive a 12 percent boost this year or an additional $9.6 million. The legislation also ensured Pennsylvania’s young people can learn in a safe environment as it provides an additional $6.5 million for Safe School Initiatives, bringing that total to $8.5 million.
