Sands Hotel hailed as Part of casino’s success
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Two years to the day that the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem opened its casino, the new 302-room Sands Hotel had its grand opening on Thursday, June 9. More than 100 business and community leaders, state and local officials heard glowing reports of success at the former
Bethlehem Steel site that was transformed from a “Brownfield to a gold mine,” as the chairman of the Pa. Gaming Board put it. The addition of table games, and the fact that players can now spend more time in the casino due to the hotel, are factors that show huge increases in revenue for the
With two members absent, the Northampton Area School Board on Monday adopted an $81,881,839 general fund budget for the school year 2011-12. It is supported by an increase of .75 mills for a total real estate tax of 45.75 mills. The total tax structure looks like this: Act 511 Local Tax Enabling Act – per capita tax, $5.00; real estate transfer tax, 0.5%, and earned income tax, 0.7%. Section 670 Pennsylvania School Code – per capita tax, $5.00, and real estate tax, 45.75 mills. School Board President David Gogel said the budget was reduced by $3-million since April. “We made inroads on every item and need to continue to find ways to save money.” NASD Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik thanked all who assisted in preparing a fair budget. He said, “It has
been a difficult budget year. But it shows when we all work together collaboratively much can be done.” Business Manager Terry Leh thanked Rose Roberts and Kovalchik for working on the budget when he was hospitalized. The Homestead and Farmstead real estate tax reduction at $107.17 with an assessed value reduction at $2,342 was also approved. Gogel said 13,679 properties were approved at a total of $1,465,707. Graduation Ceremony In comments by the directors about last Friday’s commencement exercises, director Robert Koch said he was impressed by the good behavior of the graduates, adding that the students were in great support of each other. Gogel said, “Overall, the program went very well.” When he asked security officer Robert Peloquin, “How many beach balls can you carry?’ he
answered. “It depends upon the size.” There was one huge ball among at least 20 smaller ones the seniors threw in the air after getting their diplomas. Peloquin said he believed it was the largest, most behaved audience they’ve had at Stabler, estimated at 5,000 to 6,000 persons. Other Matters • Nick Politi gave a report for Northampton Community College, and director Jane Erdo suggested it would be a good idea for all new school board members to tour the college in Bethlehem Township, see what they are doing, and how the dollars are spent. • Mrs. Erdo, who was elected president of the board of directors at Colonial Northampton Intermediate Unit #20, noted the large attendance at the recent graduation ceremony for I.U. 20. • Seth Lisa was hired as the Continued on page 7

Actions taken in short Moore Twsp. meeting By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Several actions were taken on Tuesday, June 7 in a short meeting of the Moore Township Board of Supervisors. Secretary-Treasurer Richard Gable presided in the absence of Maynard Campbell, who was ill. Atty. Scott Blissman was appointed the labor attorney to negotiate the police contract. John Becker of the Moore Township Planning Commission brought four items for the board to vote on: The Beil subdivision received an extension of time to December 31, 2011, in a reversal of an earlier decision to reject.
There was a rejection, however, for the Twin Ponds subdivision, due to lack of activity. A lot line adjustment was approved in another subdivision. And the 512 Industrial Park was given an extension of time. The road is finished in that subdivision and can be dedicated. All that is needed is tree planting. Robert Bealer was appointed a member of the Recreation Commission, bringing the total up to seven. It was announced that the electronic recycling would be held that Saturday morning, June 11, from 9 a.m. to 12 Continued on page 3

479 graduate in Northampton High School’s Class of 2011 By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Northampton Area High School held its 110th graduation exercises on Friday, June 11 in Lehigh University’s Stabler Arena, with 479 seniors in the Class of 2011. Guest speaker for the ceremony was a former graduate, Paulette Druckenmiller Fritz, who has been a dedicated community leader in the Northampton area. One of 11 children, she graduated 43
years ago, and told how the first eight years of her education were in a one-room school house. Noting how her parents taught her a work ethic, she asked the graduates to turn and applaud their family members. She advised them to listen to their parents, study hard, but take time for themselves, get involved while in college or at work, be flexible but stay focused. “Go wholeheartedly in what
you want to accomplish,” Mrs. Fritz said, adding that they should “give back to the community, help other people, and take the time. Treat people like you would like to be treated. Surround yourself with positive people.” The graduates gave her standing applause. Seated at the other end of the arena were members of the Class of 1961. After each of them was introduced by Continued on page 4

Enter Romney Former Governor Mitt Romney’s June 2nd announcement as a candidate for the presidency, though expected, kicked off the Republican nomination campaign. And, interestingly, he’s the most likely Republican nominee. Romney’s chances depend, to a degree, on the state of the economy in November of next year. That’s too far into the futurefor a positive forecast. With Congress divided, the House and Senate in control ofdifferent parties, which will remain so until November 2012, it will take the cooperation of Republicans and Democrats to achieve quick stimulation of the economy. Political considerations could play a role in legislative action to create jobs and increase profits. Members of both parties, however, should put politics second and economic recovery first in the remaining months of this year and in 2012. That will sometimes raise the question among Republicans whether helping Obama and Democrats before next Novemberis the smart political choice. But the number-one issue for both Republicans and Democrats at present is to create jobs and profits as quickly as possible. Politics should not control action in this effort.

By Judy B. Happ It’s time to revitalize Pennsylvania’s services for vulnerable children and youth. Throughout the 1990s, Pennsylvania’s disadvantaged children were well served by a healthy partnership between counties and hundreds of private agencies delivering a wide range of diverse services—from day treatment and therapeutic family care to residential programs. The system provided a healthy alternative to government-run facilities for children who needed more acute care and guidance in order to become productive members of our communities. Today, that system is suffering from funding cutbacks and a nightmare of red tape imposed by the Office of Children, Youth and Families in the Department of Public Welfare (DPW). The red tape largely stems from a rate-setting process implemented in 2008 by DPW. The state Commonwealth Court unanimously ruled this process to be illegal, but DPW has appealed. Until these appeals are exhausted or unless DPW finally decides to put neglected and abused children first, counties and providers are left to make difficult decisions. Each year, it goes like this: Counties and providers wait six months or longer until reimbursement rates are established for the current fiscal year. During this time, counties are unable to pay for services they need to help these troubled children, some of whom are victims of child abuse and neglect. Providers are then left with the following choice: Continue services without funding or borrow money to stay afloat. Unfortunately, some providers have gone out of business before rates are set, due to the financial burden. Those that are able to continue do so knowing that once the rates are established they will fall

well below the actual cost of care – a pattern that began long before the “great recession” caused tax revenues to suffer. It should go without saying, but we must say it: Our state government shouldn’t stand in the way of children getting the help they so desperately need. But that’s exactly what DPW is doing with piles of red tape and a lack of realistic funding. For example, without a rate increase since 2007, The Bair Foundation, a nonprofit foster-care agency, is struggling to retain good staff and maintain the quality of its programs. Throughout the state, agencies have been forced to accept miniscule or zero-percent increases. Like Bair, most are nonprofits that help tens of thousands of disadvantaged, neglected and abused children every year. Without such programs, many of these children would never receive the chance to reach their full potential. Norman Hargraves owes his success in life to such a nonprofit youth agency. As a teenager, Hargraves found himself in front of a judge in Westmoreland County Juvenile Court who sent him to Adelphoi’s Evergreen House. Once there, he learned to deal successfully with life’s challenges. After leaving Adelphoi, Hargraves earned his MBA and now works as a performance and risk analyst at a bank and
teaches business and finance at a college. Adelphoi, The Bair Foundation and the Youth Services Alliance of Pennsylvania (YSAP) hope the new Corbett administration will compel DPW to become a true partner once again by cutting red tape and allowing counties to make decisions for the local children and families they serve. It’s really quite simple: Offering cost-effective alternatives to government-run facilities will allow counties the flexibility of choosing from a robust continuum of services at a better cost to taxpayers. By supporting a competitive marketplace of private agencies, the Corbett administration has a tremendous opportunity to restore the healthy partnership that characterized Pennsylvania’s children and youth services in the past, and will allow more opportunities for children who one day can become good citizens like Norman Hargraves.

That was a real windy and dangerous thunderstorm we had last Thursday night, but thankfully it didn’t do much damage. It threw a huge scare into folks, through, when they thought of all the tornadoes that have hit the country this year. Since then, it’s been kinda nice, cool, refreshing air after all the humidity of the past couple of weeks. Enjoy it, but the weather folks say we’re gonna get that humidity back again later this week. . . High school graduation days are past, and now the young folks will be thinking of going on to college or looking for a job, and that’s not easy the way things have been going. I wish them good luck, in whatever they choose to do. . . .Just heard Lillian Stehly passed away. She was a Sunday school teacher for a long, long time and the kids she taught loved her. . . .Looks like the state highway department isn’t picking up road-killed deer these days. Anyhow, I took notice some of ‘em are bloated and then gradually waste away alongside roads, even near driveways. I don’t think the Lions would pick up a carcass like that on one of their Adopt-A-Highway litter pick-ups. . . .And the not-sofamous Pa. groundhogs are making a pest of themselves in folks’ yards or suffering the same fate of deer on the roadways. . . .

Local parochial schools Receive Re-accreditation The Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS), based in Philadelphia, Pa., announced that Holy Infancy School in Bethlehem, accredited since 1990, and Sacred Heart School in Bath, accredited since 1991, recently earned re-accreditation through the Commission on Elementary Schools. The schools earned re-accreditation by completing an intensive evaluation process culminating in a multi-day visit to the schools by a volunteer team of regional educators appointed by Middle States. During the visits, the Middle States team met with and interviewed members of the school communities including teachers, students, parents and administrators, as well as representatives of the governing boards. Team members toured the facilities, studied plans for school improvement and documentation related to the schools’ operation and student performance and observed classrooms. The schools join a network of more than 3,600 schools accredited by the Middle States Association in the mid-Atlantic region and in more than 80 countries around the world. Middle States accreditation is recognized around the world as an indication of educational quality. “MSA’s accreditation process goes beyond simply test scores to measure a school’s overall effectiveness,” said MSA-CESS President Henry G. Cram, Ed.D. “Members must take responsibility for their students’ performance, be committed to public accountability and dedicated to continuous improvement.” To become an accredited member in the Middle States

Association, a school must meet the association’s rigorous standards, undertake a comprehensive year-long self-study and host an onsite visit by a team of regional educational professionals. According to Cram, school quality is best measured by individual student growth over time and the value added by the educational experience the school provides. “Accreditation helps a school and its community to understand how it is doing, but more importantly, learn what it needs to do to improve—a key element missing from most other school assessments,” said Cram.

NASD Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik, the graduates turned and applauded them. Next to speak were the top two graduates. Salutatorian Erika Klemp said to her classmates, “Find your purpose in life. Experiences along the way shape us. Life is how you handle it. Let life be full of surprises, but be ready for today’s challenges and keep on pursuing tomorrow.” Valedictorian Jayde Hooven credited the teachers, principals, school board, and her family and friends for her path in life. Recalling the good and the bad, she said, “Events are related in their own way. They have shaped us. We have been influenced by the world around us.” She concluded, “Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do it.” Reflections on their school years were brought by class officers Melinda Mayer, Stephanie Chlebove, Mary Dziadual, and Annie Zangari. Mayer said, “No matter what, we will always be Konkrete Kids.” Chlebove told of the middle school experience and how it felt entering there, concluding, “We will always be black and orange, even if the street signs change.” Dziadual thought back to her first day as a freshman, and the activities in which she was involved, noting,
WOMEN/SOCIAL “We will be a part of the real world, but remember where you came from.” Zangari said that although the highway of the world will occasionally be bumpy, “You are prepared by your school days. Appreciate the humble beginnings. . .Reflect on the memories and appreciate them for what they were.” After the senior chorus sang “Stronger with Time – Fly Away,” Sr. High Principal William Hume presented the class, they were accepted by Kovalchik, and the graduates all received their diplomas. Graduation many times is followed by throwing up their caps, but in this case it was beach balls. The program closed with singing of the “Alma Mater”, remarks by Hume and the recessional. The program booklet listed the numerous awards that were presented at a banquet earlier in the week, including: Academic Awards to the top 20 in the class; Department Awards in arts, business, family and consumer, health/physical education, mathematics, music, science, social studies, support services, and world languages; Vocational-Technical Awards in construction, creative, culinary arts, health, manufacturing, protective services, and transportation clusters; Scholarship Awards, and those receiving Meritorious Attention.

company. Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan said the hotel was a “significant milestone” in development of the property in very difficult economic times, estimating that the largest hotel in the Lehigh Valley will bring in $6.7 million annually. With Bethlehem being a city of festivals, he said the hotel makes it possible for visitors to see what the city has to offer. Combined, the casino and hotel have brought 1,800 jobs. Michael Sterchik, president of Discover Lehigh Valley, said the hotel brings the total number of hotel rooms to 5,700 and raises the quality of service. “If we don’t offer them a quality product, they’re not going to come back. We want people to go home with a smile on their faces,” Sterchik said, as day trips are now being converted to overnight stays.

BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷
The national pastime is in need of rules improvement and has been for decades. Watching the stands at many of this year’s games, mostly empty, it’s obvious anything to be done which will improve the game is needed. The first long-needed im-
provement is a modern electronic method to help the umpire get the ball-strike calls correctly. As of now the umpire misses a number of calls in every game. Another needed improvement is to speed up the game. Too much time is wasted by pitchers staring at batters and batters getting out of the box on every pitch. Pitchers could be given perhaps 30 seconds between pitches. Batters could be limited on the amount of time they can spend staying out of the batting box between pitches. A speedier, more fair and accurate game is in the interest of players and fans.

House passes Legislation to ban Sale of ‘Bath Salts’
Senator David G. Argall (R-29) recently released the following statement regarding Senate Bill 1006, Senator Vogel’s legislation to ban the sale of ‘bath salts’ in the state of Pennsylvania, passage on the Floor of the House: “I’m thankful to see Senator Vogel’s legislation to ban ‘bath salts’ pass in the House,” said Argall. “In the midst of a difficult budget year, I think we have all seen enough devastating headlines to make banning this synthetic drug a priority. With many families across our region and state affected by this drug, I am hopeful that this legislation will prevent future tragedies from occurring.” Senate Bill 1006 now moves to the Governor’s desk for his signature.
Golden Gleams He who knows himself best esteems himself least. Be always merry as ever you can, for none delights in a sorrowful man. Give me liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience. Liberty is not idleness, but the free use of time. Among people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist. Free people, remember this maxim: We may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost. The more haste the less speed. What is done hastily cannot be done prudently. Every delay, however trifling,seems too long to a man in haste. Haste makes waste, and waste makes want, and want makes strife between the good man and his wife.
Healthy Eating
Why are sweet potatoes so highly recommended? They are a nutritional AllStar, one of the best vegetables you can eat. They contain carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Mix in applesauce.

Truth may be stranger than fiction but it will never sell for as much.

Lower Nazareth Township’s Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, June 8 heard a report from Township Manager Timm Tenges that their Nazareth Area Memorial Library contribution this coming year will increase by 2.9%. The supervisors viewed it as an acceptable amount in
these tough economic times. The present allocation had been $82,591, and for 2012 the budget calls for $85,000 from Lower Nazareth as its contribution. In other matters during a brief meeting, the board okayed an ordinance amendment for the Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority, and authorized solicitor Gary As-

At a May meeting of the board, a conditional use was approved for Ray Mamone to operate an auto restoration business, in that noise would be limited, ventilation systems would eliminate odors, the facility is 200 ft. from the nearest residence, and no junk would be stored outside. Tenges reported at the May meeting that residents are happy that they are able to call and pay real estate tax bills daily to the township. Nazareth Area School District is also okay with the township collecting the school taxes, for which the township will be paid a commission. The next supervisors meeting will be on Wednesday, June 22 at 6:30 p.m.

Have you ever been thirsty, I mean really thirsty? I’m not talking about the type of thirst that a large cool glass of water or some bubbly beverage has any chance of quenching. No, I’m talking about an inner thirst to fill an emptiness within you. Jesus said, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink” (John 7:37). Of course Jesus was not speaking of the physical water we need to sustain life. He was speaking of the Holy Spirit of God. In the same way that water is essential for our physical life, the Holy Spirit is essential for our spiritual life. Think about it ... Are you thirsty? I have known many people over the years who have been really thirsty. There have been those who were thirsty for meaning and purpose; a thirst for fulfillment. There have been those thirsting for acceptance, direction, hope and peace. Then there are those who thirst for assurance, affection, for love. And I’ve know people who were thirsty for forgiveness, joy and for peace and salvation. When we are physically thirsty, water is still the best thirst quencher to be found. But what do you reach for when you are thirsting for your inner dry spiritual needs? Only God’s Holy presence can provide you the hope, peace and joy that you thirst for. Through the Holy Spirit you are able to receive the love of God and the everlasting assurance to hope for the future. If you are thirsty or if you know someone who is thirsty then come to Jesus the Christ. Jesus has poured out His Holy Spirit. Come, drink and allow the Holy Spirit of God to well up within you. Then and only then are you able to allow it to freely flow out of you to share with those in this world around you.

July 11 Begins 2011-12 Doe License Process With general hunting license sales underway, Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe reminded hunters that county treasurers will begin accepting antlerless deer license applications from resident hunters starting Monday, July 11; and from nonresidents beginning Monday, July 25. For the 2011-12 license year, antlerless deer license fees are the same as they have been since 1999, except for the 70cent transaction fee attached to the purchase of each license and permit, which is paid directly to Active Outdoors, the Nashville-based company that runs Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS). This transaction fee means that residents will need to write checks made payable to “County Treasurer” for $6.70, and nonresidents for $26.70. By state law, antlerless deer licenses will continue to be sold only by county treasurers, so hunters will need to prepare and mail separate applications for antlerless deer licenses. A list of the mailing addresses for the 65 county treasurers that issue antlerless deer licenses is included in the 2011-12 Digest, which is provided to each license buyer. A listing of antlerless licenses allocated by WMU, as well as the remaining allocation, can be viewed on the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), by clicking on “Doe License Update” in the “Quick Clicks” box in the right-hand column of the homepage. Roe noted that hunters must use the official pink envelopes, which are provided to each license buyer by the issuing agents. For those who order licenses via the Game Commission’s website (www. pgc.state.pa.us), a new digest and two pink envelopes will be included in the package, along with the licenses, which will arrive in seven to 10 business days from the date of their transaction. “As county treasurers are set up with PALS, hunters will be able to submit an application to any county treasurer,” Roe said. “Additionally, hunters have the option of listing up to three choices, in order of preference, for a specific Wildlife Management Unit antlerless deer license. If an applicant’s first choice of WMU has exhausted its allocation of antlerless deer licenses, the PALS system will move to the second preference – and third, if necessary. “This process will nearly eliminate the chance that a hunter will not be able to receive at least one antlerless deer license during the processing of regular antlerless deer licenses. However, hunters are not required to
list more than one choice of WMU.” Also, Roe said that the early start to the antlerless deer license application process will help ensure that county treasurers will be able to mail antlerless deer licenses back to hunters prior to the opening of the archery season. The first such season opens with the antlerless archery season in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D on Sept. 17. The opening date of the general statewide archery deer season is Oct. 1. Under the 2011 timeline, residents will apply for regular antlerless deer licenses on July 11; nonresidents will apply for regular antlerless deer licenses on July 25. After this, residents and nonresidents will apply for the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses on Aug. 1, and residents and nonresidents will apply for the second round of unsold antlerless deer licenses on Aug. 15. County treasurers will have to mail regular and first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses no later than Sept. 12, and second round of unsold antlerless deer licenses no later than Sept. 26. Beginning Aug. 1, for WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D only, there is no limit to the number of unsold antlerless deer license applications an individual can submit until the allocations are exhausted. This must be done by mail only, and there is a limit of three applications per pink envelope. Beginning Aug. 22, county treasurers will begin accepting applications over-thecounter for WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, and may immediately issue antlerless deer licenses. Hunters may apply over-thecounter to county treasurers for any other WMU with antlerless license allocations on Oct. 3. Roe noted that hunters may file harvest reports online for antlered and antlerless deer, as well as fall turkey, spring gobbler, bobcat, fisher and Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) permits through the agency’s website (www.pgc.state. pa.us). Additionally, hunters can call the agency’s toll-free telephone reporting system to file a harvest report. The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) harvest reporting system telephone number is 1-855-PAHUNT1 (1-855-7248681). “Online and telephone harvest reporting are examples of the Game Commission doing its part to make it easier for license buyers to report their required harvests and help the agency better manage wildlife,” Roe said. “We have found that harvest reporting rates have been de-

The permit can be used to harvest one antlerless deer on the specific DMAP area. Maps for the properties are to be provided to hunters by the landowners. Landowners may not charge or accept any contribution from a hunter for a DMAP permits or coupons. Hunters may not use DMAP permits to harvest an antlered deer. Hunters may use DMAP permits to harvest an antlerless deer anytime antlerless deer are legal, including during the entire statewide two-week firearms deer season (Nov. 28-Dec. 10). DMAP permits also may be used in WMUs 2C, 2D, 2E, 2G, 3C, 4B, 4D and 4E during the two-week firearms deer season (Nov. 28-Dec. 10), however, WMU-specific antlerless deer licenses may be used only during the last

The proposed Ordinance is being enacted, and notice is being given, pursuant to the Local Tax Enabling Act, 53 P.S. § 6924.101, et. seq. The Ordinance restates and amends in its entirety the Township’s currently existing Earned Income Tax Ordinance, dated December 31, 1991, in order to conform to the provisions of the Local Tax Enabling Act, 53 P.S. § 6924.101, et. seq., as amended and restated by Act 32 of 2008, and to do so within the time frame required by Act 32. The proposed Ordinance imposes a tax of one percent (1%) on the earned income and net profits of residents of the Township and a tax of one percent (1%) on the earned income and net profits of non-residents derived from work or other activity in the Township. The tax is in addition to any earned income tax levied by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the School District in which the Township is located. The tax is imposed for general revenue purposes, including general operating revenue for the Township. The Ordinance will be effective January 1, 2012 and continues the tax previously imposed, and at the same rate. The nature of the tax is substantially the same as the earned income tax currently levied, subject to the changes required by Act 32. The Ordinance shall apply to earned income and net profits earned or received by a taxpayer during calendar year 2012 and each year thereafter without annual re-enactment unless the rate
of tax is subsequently changed. The estimated revenue generated by the tax for the 2012 calendar year is $530,000. A copy of the full text of the proposed Ordinance may be obtained at the Municipal Office of the Allen Township/Borough located at 4714 Indian Trail Road, Northampton, PA, during regular business hours (Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.).
