County councilman visits Moore Twsp. supervisors

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Northampton County Council member Scott Parsons paid a visit to the Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting this past Tuesday, June 5. He made brief remarks about the value of farmlands preservation and offered help to people when they need something or have questions about the county.

He also noted about grants that the county provides and responded to chairman David Tashner’s question about funds for 9-1-1.

Bids Approved Three bids were accepted for road materials in fixing township roads. Paving that will be needed for S. PennDixie Rd. will come from Hampton Aggregates at a cost of $172,000. A double layer of seal coating for Sickles and Sunnyside Rds. will cost $11,975 from Asphalt Main-

tenance Solutions (AMS) of Center Valley and the same firm will provide materials for the Recreation Center road from Rt. 987 to English Rd. at a cost of $31,250 for blacktopping and $22,680 for seal coating, a total of $53,930.

Decision Delayed There was a brief discussion about the Kostenbader and Schavone open space acquisitions presented by the Farmlands Preservation Committee. While a number of people filled the meeting room to get answers or provide input on the discussions, a vote that they expected didn’t happen.

What the board did was accept letters of recommendation for review. Chairman Tashner said the supervisors are awaiting a set of minutes from Northampton County in regard to the acquisitions, and the supervisors will not make a decision until the July meeting.

Twenty-six acres of the Kostenbader land abuts the property of Ray and Patricia Groff and a tributary of the Bushkill Creek. With approval at the county level, Moore Township will provide $49,000 for the conservation easement.

A basic overview of the soon to be constructed middle school was given to the Northampton Area School Board on Monday night. The power point slides were movable to show all angles of the three-story masonry building and its auxiliary buildings.

Prior to showing the architectural renderings, Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik announced that plans for the new middle school have been approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, so that the district will be entitled to $10-million in reimbursement from the state DPE, spread out over 20 years. It was one of the last projects okayed by the DPE, for others will be suspended after July 1, 2012.

PlanCon C provides

$620,000 to acquire the property, but at no cost to local taxpayers, Kovalchik said.

The pictorial views shown on Monday to the board and public were of the entrances where students will be dropped off at school, the main entrance that has a concrete arch, above which are the cafeteria on the left and the library on the right. There is an elevator for handicap access, swimming pool, field house and gymnasium on the side of the football field. Art and science classes will have an exterior courtyard for outdoor art and classes in environmental education.

The main school building will be of double wall construction, including a vapor barrier so there can be no mold build-up. Spouting will take roof runoff water to underground piping. Parking in

the slides was shown on two sides of the building.

Superintendent Kovalchik then went into the financial aspect of the middle school project, noting that the ”whole ball of wax” will cost $79,898,000 including finance charges, school property purchase, demolition of the existing middle school and field house, site work, permits, inspection, financing costs, and an upgrade of the sewage station.

Kovalchik also told the board that a decision will be needed by the July 9 meeting to approve design of an all-weather track (estimated to cost $1.96-million), softball and turf field ($250,000), and PPL primary electrical service for the best rates.

He noted that because of a Continued on page 15

Opinion Reforming Laws Could Help Distressed Towns

Tony Iannelli, President and CEO, The Chamber Mayor John Callahan, City of Bethlehem Mayor Sal Panto, City of Easton Mayor Ed Pawlowski, City of Allentown Decades-old municipal laws have become dated, inflexible and uncompetitive, hampering municipal leaders from approaching modernday problems with innovative solutions. Many of these outdated laws are pushing our communities to the brink

of collapse, threatening basic municipal services, while impeding regional economic recovery. And ultimately, taxpayers will be on the hook.

This may sound like a stretch, but anyone who lives in or near an older, fullservice community -- a core community -- knows of the budgetary struggles. While this dire situation is not intractable, fixing it will require strong leadership and political courage from the state legislature and the Corbett Administration.

Today, nearly half of all Pennsylvanians live in financially distressed municipalities. The costs associated with mandated personnel and pension laws contribute heavily to this statistic. Pension and personnel costs can count for more than half of a municipal budget. These costs are unyielding and unsustainable and municipal revenue sources to pay for such costs remain static at best. This imbalance is causing a downward spiral of fis-

I hope you all enjoyed the warm weather over the weekend. It was summer-like. . . .The weather was perfect this past Friday for the farmers market, and so there were plenty of shoppers down at the park, looking for goodies. Didn’t see any strawberries, although they might have been there.

I’m ready to bring ‘em home so Elmira can make a strawberry shortcake with lots of whipped cream. . . . Speaking of strawberries, I hear Don Wedde and George Gasper will be handing out dishes of strawberries to the Masons at past masters night this Thursday after lodge meeting. . . . Ye Ed handed me a couple notes on the Northampton graduation. One of the graduates had the words “I Love My Mom” on her cap, which was real nice. Two of the grads posed at the war memorial in Northampton during the afternoon, complete with their caps and gowns. Both had short white dresses underneath their gowns. It was good to hear that the main speaker was a former student at George Wolf Elementary here in Bath. Lots of beach balls were thrown around after the graduates moved their tassles from one side of their caps to the other after they got their diplomas, and the beach balls of all sizes came flying out of the audience of moms, dads, brothers and sisters. . . . The Main & Walnut Street intersection in town is a real bottleneck this week, as some kinda construction is going on. Cars were lined all up and down Walnut Street, and Main Street had its usual rush hour traffic at the same time on Monday. Flag people were out to direct traffic, and there were traffic cones all along Walnut Street. I think I called them cones a couple weeks ago when

I talked about the road widening down along 512. They aren’t cones, but some kinda markers to keep cars and trucks in line, serving the same purpose. . . .

I don’t know how many flags were flying on Memorial Day, but I hope there are a lot more this Thursday, the 14th of June.

That’s Flag Day. Let’s show our patriotism to the good old United States of America! . . . .

I miss the Flag Day service that the U.C.C. church in town had the past couple of years. It was great! Haven’t heard why it wasn’t held. Let’s hope it comes back next year. . . . From what I read in last week’s paper about the terrific costs Nazareth is paying on accounta workmen’s compensation, mostly for police, I agree with their mayor that maybe the police should merge with Colonial Regional.

It would be cheaper as far as that’s concerned. . . . Get well wishes to Jay Brubaker, the former Pauline Wagner’s hubby, who had a stroke recently. . . .

Last but not least, Happy Father’s Day, guys!!!

Grow Your Small Business - Paul Anka Did It

By CAROL RITTER

I’ve heard most of us don’t change until staying the same becomes too difficult. It’s just too hard and the changes sometimes affect others who gripe and moan about it.

However, if you want to grow your business, CHANGE is not only necessary it’s vital.

Maybe we will call it reinventing yourself.

I was sitting at the new Sands Event Center recently anxiously awaiting the famous and fabulous Paul Anka. He made a grand entrance from the back of the room and, of course, was belting out ‘Diana’. The crowd stood up, began to sing along and before you knew it, we were under the Paul Anka spell. After completing his first song on stage he came back down into the audience, jumped up on a table and started his medley of magnificent songs. Everyone was amazed and one question was coming from the audience, “How old is he?” His voice was unbelievable, his jokes were funny and, best of all, he knows the secret; walking in his audience’s shoes, that is the key to reinventing yourself!

When presenting a product or service the first thing we need to think about is your

audience and what do they need or how can you solve a problem for them. In order to do that you must embrace change and understand that it’s part of the business.

The students, band directors and Northampton Area High School Big ‘N’ band served up cool treats last week at Rita’s in Northampton. The event was a fundraiser for the students for the upcoming season. Band Director James Sansone along with color guard director Michele Lynch and assistant to marching band and jazz band Tim Carpency and students came out to the fundraiser and were happy to be working at the popular location. Graduating senior Kaylene Killeen works at the Rita’s location and was happy to show her teachers how it’s done.

The students have the task of raising money throughout the year to support their participation in competitions and travel to Disney and other locations.

They will be holding a car wash in August as well as the annual pizza and pie sales among other. “This is the best fundraiser” Sansone said as he served up another gelato.

Band parents were also on hand selling a newly produced video DVD of the 2011-2012 band season as well as the infamous Konkrete Kids Spirit Bells.

Mark Prostko served up delicious strawberry soup last Friday at the Bath Farmers Market.

Herb Day coming to Farmers Mkt.

You’ve read the articles, seen the news stories -- you know that cooking from scratch means feeding your family healthier, less expensive meals.

But when you’ve just left the office and need to get home so you can drive the kids to soccer practice, opening a few jars, much less turning out a gourmet meal, seems impossible.

Creating quick, healthy meals at home might be easier than you think. As fresh, seasonal produce hits farmer’s markets, families should take advantage of the naturally delicious food available. Try serving a wholewheat pasta with Pesto Sauce.

With a few fresh ingredients you can make a delicious pesto sauce at home.

Stop by the Bath Farmers Market this Friday and pick up some locally grown produce to use in this delicious pesto recipe. The market is open from 3-7 p.m. at Keystone Park every Friday through October. There will be plenty of fresh basil and other herbs at this week’s Herb Fest to help you create the perfect meal.

Pesto Sauce Makes 1 1/2 cups (enough for one pound of pasta) 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 3 medium garlic cloves 2 cups fresh basil leaves 3 tablespoons pine nuts salt and pepper, to taste Place all of the ingredients, except for salt and pepper, into blender or food processor.

Blend for 1 minute.

As the growing season progresses, the quantity and variety of produce that each vendor brings to the market multiplies, enhancing the selection for shoppers. Last Friday everyone enjoyed the bountiful strawberries and they will be back this week in addition to rhubarb, lettuce, spring greens, green onions, carrots, beets, herbs, zucchini, raw honey, pies, kiffles, specialty cakes, quiches, eggs, grass fed beef, farm raised pork, cut flowers and potted herbs, handcrafted soaps and more!

Get Fresh on Friday at the Bath Farmers’ Market! Fridays 3:007:00pm, located at Keystone Park- route 329, Bath Pa.

Kaylene Kileen and Mr. Sansone served up Rita’s last week.

During the past six years, the MIC, the information arm of the Masonic Service Association of North America (MSANA) headquartered in Silver Spring, Md., has presented the Mark Twain Award distinction to more than 100 lodges across the continent.

According to Peter A. Gigliotti, master during the award year, the lodge instituted its first community blood drive, provided aid for a local food bank and for an animal shelter, raised additional funds for local charities, and organized a community child identification program.

The most recent community support project was the donation of funds to assist in the building of the new gazebo at Keystone Park.

Know The Weather

Why does a cooling of the air often produce clouds?

The air always contains a certain amount of moisture.

When there are no clouds in the sky, the moisture is invisible, but it’s there. Cooling condenses air and reduces its capacity to retain water.

In doing so, the invisible water particles in the air become relatively greater in content and finally become visible drop lets of moisture. A cloud, then, is the result of cooling of air, which changes invisible moisture into visible form.

This cooling process also produces fog--the lowest of the clouds. The sun’s heating of the earth, which, in turn, heats the air above it, which rises and is cooled in the higher altitude causes the formation of most clouds.

Weekend Forecast - Northampton County

Be sure to keep the umbrella with you. Isolated showers are possible on Thursday and Friday with a high of 78 on Thursday. The weekend will start out with a high of 80 on Friday and a 30% chance of a passing shower. Saturday looks to be dry with a high of 82 under partly cloudy skies.

The extended forecast is calling for a partly cloudy Sunday with a high of 82 and the work week will start off with a chance of rain showers and a high of 77.

Northampton Council asked For police watch on 4th St.

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Donald Szerencits of 4th St. appealed to Northampton Borough Council on Thursday for more police presence on that street because of speeding motorists. The same thing happens on Dewey Ave. A stop sign was suggested because of a playground nearby, but Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski said such a sign can’t be used for speed enforcement. It was agreed it may slow down motorists, however.

Boro Manager Gene Zarayko said there are 330 stop signs in Northampton, second only to Catasauqua. The police may use a “black box” to do a computer printout of violations.

Committee Reports Councilman Robert Coleman for administration and finance noted that the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum will be open the second and fourth Sundays, 1-3 p.m., adding that

Siegfried Elementary School students visited, as did a Purdue University professor, who remarked that it is the only cement museum in America.

Curator Ed Pany was complimented for his work.

Coleman also reported that Main St. banners are selling well; eight new “Welcome to Northampton” signs are being purchased by the Exchange and Chamber of Commerce; and LeRoy Brobst is sending out notices to 220 who have not paid their 2012 refuse bills .

Councilman Pany for building, land and recreation said sale of season passes for the swimming pool has been slow; a recent dedication of the Stephen “Deets” Guttman multipurpose room at the recreation center was well attended; the Northampton A.A. gave $1,000 to the rec center from sale of a van and their donation; anti-smoking signs have been placed at local tot lots.

CAKE ON THE BARBIE?

Keep your grill warm after making the doggies and ribs….it’s time for dessert, and we’re not talking grilled fruit, either! Grilling gives cake a warm interior and caramelized crust, plus the sweetness of the cake will balance out the smoky flavor from the grill. Cut an angel food or a pound cake into 1 inch thick slices.

Butter both sides, and then grill over moderate heat until golden, turning once, about 2 minutes per side.

Top with fruit, ice cream, or chocolate sauce.

Councilman Robert McHale reported that Northampton County Weights & Measures would inspect local parking meters this Tuesday; police arbitration has been changed to August 15, with Thomas McConnell the arbitrator; and the zoning hearing board will meet tonight (June 14) on three items.

Councilwoman Sherry NeffMaikits noted that the Atlas Hotel liquor license has been sold to a Nazareth business.

She also reported that Fire Chief Robert Solderich, volunteer firefighters, and Mayor/Supervisor Tom Reenock worked very hard to get the war memorial ready for Memorial Day. Later in the meeting, everyone complimented the men for their work on the project. Said Lopsonzski: “We’re very proud of it, for it gives you a hallowed feeling.

I’m glad for the volunteers who put it together.” Reenock said there are 1,200 bricks that were installed, and people can still buy them, for there is room for 300 more.

Councilman Keith Piecienski reported that 46 tons of blacktop were used to fill holes in the community center parking lot; public works will have a paving crew for Beil Alley north of 22nd St., and after that Station Alley from West Alley to Main St. and on Howertown Rd. from Banks St. to Dry Run. Other Comments Pany said 450 students visited the museum, and noted that the professor may supply items from the Panama Canal.

Lopsonzski noted that the Paw Prints on the Canal was well attended, with 75 vendors

reported by McHale, many of them there for the first time.

Zarayko thanked Terry Stanglein for the rabies shot and micro chips given at the event.

Lopsonzski said Northampton has an awful lot of nice things – the memorial plot, community center, walkway, street signs for holidays, and even community days that other towns are replicating.

He also said he has great respect for the police, who have so many responsibilities, even dealing with major crimes.

Zarayko announced that $10,000 has been bequeathed for the animal shelter. . .He also asked that people pull weeds from their front curbs and do

NAZARETH AREA

NAZARETH BORO – LOWER NAZARETH TP. – UPPER NAZARETH TP. – BUSHKILL TP.

Chambers of commerce Converge at state capitol The Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce recently traveled to the state Capitol to participate in the 2012 Chamber Day at the Capitol, an annual event hosted by the Pennsylvania Association of Chamber Professionals, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry.

Held Tuesday, June 5, the day-long event offered representatives from more than 29 local chambers of commerce throughout the Commonwealth and their members the opportunity to meet with and hear from key policymakers, network with other chamber professionals, and attend policy discussions on issues that impact the business community.

The agenda kicked off with a legislative breakfast at the state Capitol, where Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, offered opening remarks. Later, at the PA Chamber’s offices, PA Chamber President Gene Barr addressed attendees at a pre-lunch discussion that focused on the importance of local chamber support in strengthening business advocacy efforts.

Lt. Gov. James Cawley was the special guest at a luncheon meeting sponsored by APPI Energy. Cawley highlighted the Corbett adminis-

tration’s commitment to job creation and fiscal discipline.

The day concluded with a series of issue sessions on topics ranging from labor policy to transportation, environment and energy, to how Pennsylvania’s perceived business climate impacts its competitiveness.

The Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce is also pleased to announce a trichamber government affairs committee. Should your business have interest on the committee, please contact the chamber office at: 610-7599188

The Rev. Christina Keller

Pastor, Covenant United Methodist Church

Joshua and the Word

After Moses died, Joshua assumed command of the people of Israel. In the Lord’s instructions to Joshua he was told,“This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful.”

The Lord wanted Joshua to follow the laws given to Moses so that he would not lead the people into false ways and they’d get into trouble, for you see, without the Word of God, the people would have no direction. Without the Word of God, we have no direction.

We need to read our Bibles to gain an understanding of God’s will for his creation. We also need to be careful not to abuse the Bible and pull things out of context to suit our needs.

On a good day, we might do something noteworthy, but we cannot be courageous without depending on the Word of God. God’s word is full of life and truth that shows us how to depend on him. We know that Joshua was successful because of his reliance on God’s Word.

Standing on the edge of entering the Promised Land, Joshua had some huge sandals to fill. He faced the challenge of leading the chosen people into the land promised them by God. He had to follow Moses, the man who had led the Israelites out of slavery, received the Ten Commandments, and shepherded the people of Israel for 40 years. Can you imagine how intimidating a job that must have been?

Yet, each of us faces intimidating circumstances that seem too great for us, but God does not leave us ill equipped. God provides people, situations, and circumstances to teach and guide us in doing his work.

As Joshua began his leadership of the people he received great encouragement from God. The Lord said to him,“No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them.”

God’s great encouragement to Joshua was that he would not be alone. Joshua was not left without resources to guide him either.

He was told,“This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful.”

For Joshua to navigate a people back into the dangerous, enemy-filled Promised Land, God gave him a guide. While God would provide military strategy and insight, the greatest guide he could give Joshua was His Word.

God’s Word is not to be studied once and then removed from our minds. God provides us a guide to study consistently, day and night. His word should never leave our hearts or our mouths.

Through obeying God’s Word we will truly have success, just as Joshua had success.

When you read the Old Testament you get a picture of the consequences of the Israelites failure to keep the commandments.

Time and time again the people moved away from faithfulness and suffered the cost of their unfaithfulness, until eventually they were exiled from their Promised Land.

Look to the New Testament and Jesus’ life, example and words to guide your life. Study the Bible. Seek its wisdom for your life, for if you obey all of God’s commands, then God will give a new word to you.

“Your life now is what you make of it. Success is related to your passion.”

Vice president Keri Diehl in her remarks advised her fellow graduates to work hard and achieve great things. Telling of experiences all had in high school, she said they were their last events as seniors.

She gave ceredit to the parents and teachers for their paths of learning.

Secretary Gabrielle Smith noted how the students were filled with apprehension as they entered middle scholol, and their school colors were now black and orange. But they took on the new challenges.

Treasurer Aubrie Eaton remarked that elementary school was the building block for the rest of their lives.

Diploma Time After the senior chorus sang “100 Years,” Senior High Principal J. William Hume presented the class of 2012 and they were accepted by Kovalchik. The first diplomas were presented by School Board President David Gogel to the valedictorian, salutatorian, and class officers, with the one to Gabrielle Smith

by Jean Rundle. Gabrielle is the great-niece of Maryann (Flick) Dech. All of the graduates went across the stage shaking hands with the guest speaker and administrators after receiving their diplomas. The commencement closed with singing of the Alma Mater by the audience and final remarks by Principal Hume.

The commencement program listed the recipients of academic achievement awards, departmental awards, vocational-technical awards, scholarship awards, and those for meritorious attention, all of which had been given to them earlier.

On June 8 at 1:06 p.m. police arrived at the scene and spoke to a witness who related he saw a Werner tractor trailer travel past his house on Werner Rd. The unidentified witness said he knew that trucks could not make the turn onto Newburg without damaging yards so he checked his property.
