Students raise money For ACS/Dream Come True

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Unlike in past Memorial Day ceremonies, the triangular plot at Washington & Dewey Ave. at E. 14th St. in Northampton was not filled with white crosses. There were 15 in memory of those who died this past year. But the focal point of the day was the brickyard of memories for more than 1,000 veterans of the Armed Forces, who served in World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam. Many other bricks were donated by

relatives of deceased veterans with names inscribed on them.

Weeks of work were put in

by Fire Chief Bob Solderich, Mayor Tom Reenock, Police Chief Ron Morey, other firefighters and volunteers to make the brick pad a significant memorial to those who have served in the Armed Forces. In circles of bricks are also insignia of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard. It was a total volunteer effort, and Mayor Reenock said the plot

will be officially dedicated at a Veterans Day evening ceremony in November when the weather is cooler. The volunteers were recognized at the program.

Although not disclosed to the public on Monday, it was learned that $5,000 had been donated by a soldier, who left this week for his sixth tour of duty in Afghanistan.

An estimated 400 persons attended the Memorial Day program under torrid weather conditions.

Letters from our Readers

This year the soldiers were Bruce and Randy Wagner of Bath, Donald Schwartz of Northampton, Bryan Wagner of Palmerton, Scott and Paul Wagner of Danielsville, Kyle, Stephen, Sean, Eric, Zach Kromer, and Robert Wagner, all of Walnutport.

Next time you see one of these men, thank them for their services.

Peggy Spengler-Moser Appreciation for Food Drive Response To the Editor: The Bath Area Food Bank would like to thank everyone who supported the U.S. Postal Service’s Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive in midMay. Members of our com-

munity donated canned good and other shelf-stable items through this year’s food drive.

Local postal workers picked up the food and delivered it to the Bath Post Office. Community volunteers delivered the food to the Bath Area Food Bank where other volunteers weighed, sorted, and shelved it.

This year’s food drive provided us with 7,100 pounds of food - almost double the amount we have received in past years.

We truly appreciate the support we have received from the Bath Post Office employees and our many volunteers.

What a nice Memorial Day weekend we had! All that sunshine! There were a couple thunderstorms at night, with high winds that knocked off some tree branches. But all in all, we really can’t complain about the weather. Of course, heat and humidity you kinda expect in August, but we had it this week. Not that I like humidity, but it’s better than all that rain we had earlier. Just need to grab a cool drink, or take cover in some indoor air conditioning . . .They had a real nice Memorial Day program over Northampton way with all the bricks in place that have been donated in honor and memory of veterans, living and dead. It’s great how people in small towns get together and do some wonderful things. That probably wouldn’t happen as much in big cities. . . . I hear that Stan and Diane Petko had a real nice lawn party for Diane’s dad, who turned 100 on Saturday. . . . After the grand opening of the farmers market in town, Carol and Darrin Heckman spent the Memorial Day weekend in Chicoteague Island, Virginia with relatives.

That’s a nice place to be, with

memories I have of surf fishing. If I recollect, wasn’t there something with herds of horses down there, too? . . . . Vance Worley took it hard when the Mets blew him away the other day, so he’s back with the IronPigs. The Phillies are still hanging on to first place in the NL East, and since Chase Utley’s back from a long rehab they seem to be hitting better. . . . I see the local Legion baseball teams are in action, and maybe if we’re lucky they’ll give some game reports for Ye Ed to print. . . .Good luck to all the Legion golfers, as the Bath Legion hosts the state tournament up at Whitetail later this week. . . .Get well wishes to Jim McRell, who hadta cancel his Gettysburg Address for Memorial Day with a clot in his leg. I hear his replacement did great, so all was well, Jim. Your Civil War Union Army Sons are a fine group. . . . Hats off to the church goups running the new Loaves & Fishes soup kitchen! With the job situation the way it is these days, families need something for the dinner table, and it’s a big help, along with the local food bank. . . . But it still puzzles me, looking at the big league ball

parks, how all the seats are filled and the patrons pay big bucks. I reckon some folks have a lot of money to spend and others are having a tough time of it.. . .June is here, and the year is half shot. Can ya believe it??!! Have a nice week See you at the farmers market.

Legion replacing Cemetery items Eckley E. Patch Post #470, American Legion, Bath, has been notified that there has been weather related damage to the service markers and American flags in local cemeteries.

If your veterans service marker or flag has been damaged, please bring the damaged items to the post home at 278 Race St., Bath, for replacement. The home will be open at 1 p.m. weekdays and at 10 a.m. weekends.

Gastrointestinal Imbalance

This topic is huge. No single article can address the numerous conditions and issues that surround gastrointestinal imbalance and the corresponding impact on your health. I will do my best, in this and future articles, to give concise and simple information that just makes sense. My hope is to help many who suffer both knowingly and unknowingly with “gut” imbalances.

Perhaps the biggest offender is antibiotics which were first introduced in the 1950’s.

But let’s not forget that antibiotics have also been used successfully to address many ailments. I, for one, have had a thorough course of antibiotics with regards to Lyme disease. However, the question is whether use of them has gone too far and widespread, thereby destroying both good and bad bacteria, and creating drug resistant strains. Again, I had to address this topic personally as well as professionally.

Consider antibiotics used on animals. The meat, poultry, and milk products we consume contain them, further affecting our good bacteria and the life enhancing, symbiotic relationship we have with our intestinal bacteria. So not only are we taking prescription antibiotics, we consume it, perhaps many times per day in our food. We also routinely use it in our hand sanitizers don’t we?

Aside from antibiotics, our fluorinated water destroys good bacterial colonies. So we are exposed more than we think and our systems may be suffering for it.

Humans are not born with diverse bacteria colonies in their gut. It is acquired through passage through the birth canal and breastfeeding. So our nutrition plays an enormous role. To this end, we need to keep consuming items that will allow the good bacteria to prosper and thrive.

This brings us to the whole probiotic and prebiotic discussion. Pro-biotics (favorable to life) are essentially live microbial foods that assist in maintain the healthy bacteria in the gut. Pre-biotic (before life) is the “food” for probiotics to eat. Clearly, we understand that when humans eat good they remain healthy.

While eating poor food we know that sickness can develop. The same holds true with bacteria in a sense. Therefore, pre-biotics is good food for the good bacteria to keep them healthy. I suggest fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickled items, and yogurt on a regular basis. But that’s not enough. Real, non-processed food needs to be consumed as well. Consider fruits and vegetables of course!

Amazingly it has been concluded that regardless of bacteria type, when scientists change the location of the bacteria, like from lungs

HHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHH

Soft Ice Cream

to the gut, or changed its food type, the bacteria would actually change and ADAPT. This tells us that if the environment around the bacteria is sickly then perhaps even the good bacteria will change into a sick strain. I was shocked to learn this and it should further your resolve to essentially eat better starting today especially if you suffer from non-specific gastrointestinal problems.

Don’t be fooled in thinking that gastrointestinal imbalances only produce symptoms within the bowel. Diverse presentations can manifest.

Fatigue, being one. Perhaps agitation, improper sleep, or diffuse and widespread joint pain. Chronically ill? Failure to feel calm, anxieties, etc.? The health of your gut is equal, in my opinion, to the health of your body. How else do we transfer food into its nutrient particles and then into our blood stream and such? It just makes sense to me.

Action steps are varied yet it is clear that the fundamentals remain similar: Drink half your body weight in ounces of water per day, eat fermented

Athletes win awards at NASHS All-Sports banquet

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

“Athletics is a vital component of the educational system,” Northampton Area Schools Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik told the student athletes at the annual All-Sports Banquet in the senior high cafeteria on Wednesday, May 25.

He said that they learn skills, dedi cation, communication and leadership, and also develop lifelong friendships for their fellow athletes.

And of great importance, they excel in academics. Kovalchik said the seniors may be graduating soon, but they will always be Konkrete Kids.

School Board President David Gogel also remarked that tradition is a big part of Northampton High School.

TENNIS✷ ✷ ✷

Sports enthusiasts and tennis lovers are asking what has happened to the sport of tennis in the United States. For the first time in many years not one American was a contestant in the French Open.

Only Andy Roddick, ranked 11th internationally, is a threat in today’s top tourna-

neider introduced a number of families at the dinner who have provided scholarships.

He presented an “N” trophy to Terry Daubert, who has retired as wrestling coach.

Before the presentations of awards, it was noted that the baseball team would be playing Nazareth in the Dist. 11 AAAA semi-finals on Thursday and the girls’ softball team would be playing Parkland in the Dist. 11 AAAA semi-final. The baseball team lost 8-2, but the softball team won 5-0. Both have had an outstanding year. Many participants in Northampton sports established or broke records in the Lehigh Valley Conference and Districts.

Trophy Awards Schneider introduced all of the coaches who, in turn, presented trophies to the fol-

ments.

A look at the past winners of what is probably the most famous tennis tournament, Wimbledon, gives a clear picture of the change in the world tennis scene.

From 1992 to the year 2000 an American player won the singles title at Wimbledon eight of nine years. Pete Sampras was the winner most of those years.

John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors had won just a few years earlier. The Pete Sampras era ended in 1990. Since then it has been Roger Federer as the most often winner.

Now Rafael Nadal has just been defeated twice by Novak Djokovic--of Serbia!

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

“Things just come along,”

Louis (Gigi) Derrico said on Sunday afternoon as he was asked what he attributes to

reaching his 100th birthday.

The retired hardware store owner and car salesman was at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Stan and Diane Petko along Moorestown Drive, Bath, as some 40 relatives and friends came to celebrate his reaching the century mark.

It was the second party of the weekend for Derrico. He was the guest of honor on Saturday at Country Meadows, Green Pond, and he and his fellow residents enjoyed every moment of it.

Greetings to wish him well were received in letters from President Barack and Michelle Obama and Pa. Governor Tom Corbett.

Born May 28, 1911 in Bethlehem, Louis, Sr. is the son of the late Biagio and Louisa (Cantelmi) Derrico. He and his late wife, Rose (Shambora) Derrico, celebrated 77 years of marriage before her passing in 2009. They have five children, 11 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren.

FLOWER POWER

The ceremony was opened as Lou Miksits of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #4714 had charge of the detail raising the flags of the various services.

The Northampton Area High School Big “N” Band played the National Anthem, followed by an opening prayer by retired Rev. Fr. Edwin Schwartz.

In welcoming everyone, Mayor Reenock said it is important to know the real meaning of Memorial Day as we pay tribute to veterans and the fallen heroes. He said that each brick pays tribute to loved ones, those who served in the Armed Forces, or sacrificed their lives for their country and for freedom.

Commanders or vice commanders of local posts recited poems that stressed that freedom is not free and this was a national moment of remembrance, before they placed wreaths in front of the flagpole donated by the Schisler Funeral Home. The joint firing squad saluted the dead.

“Taps” was played, followed by “Amazing Grace” played by bagpipe music of the Celtic United Fife & Drum group from Pen Argyl.

The Rev. Jerry Mraz, retired pastor of Holy Trinity Slovak Lutheran Church, pronounced the benediction, and church bells were rung.

Applications to purchase additional memorial bricks are available at local veterans organizations which sponsored the Memorial Day program, including VFW Post #4714, Catholic War Veterans Post #454, and American Legion Post #353.

The crosses that were up on Monday were in memory of Alvin Marsh, Matthias Herr, Elwood Frey, John Roguski,

Joseph Kroboth, Jerome Hess, Joseph Stubits, John Fodor, Samuel Ambrosino, Stephen Mish, Benjamin Arduini, Henry Brosky, Joseph Reichel, John Klusarits, and Edward Wirth.

Although there were no flowers at the bricks, people may place them on the grass, they were told.

Did you know that the colored aluminum foil that often accompanies a potted flower or plant is not only pretty, but also beneficial to potted plants? The foil actually keeps humidity high and prevents the soil from drying out too quickly!

If you are potting a new plant, line the bottom of the planter with a clean coffee filter, paper towel sheet, fabric softener dryer sheet, or even a clean pair of unneeded pantyhose to allow for drainage!

Thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), children and teachers at Northampton Community College’s Reibman and Hannig children’s centers will soon be exploring the unexpected elements in art that spur imagination and challenge artistic thinking.

The $25,000 Learning Through the Arts grant will support two artists-in-residence, as well as guest artists who will provide additional opportunities for children to experience exemplary works of art in live form. Professional development will increase the artistic knowledge and skills of classroom teachers so that they are able to effectively support and stretch children’s artistic skills and abilities. The grant period covers the 2011-2012 academic year.

An independent agency of the federal government, the NEA advances artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities.

The Crows “Rule”… Almost!

You know that part in a legal document where, after your name, it says “being of sound mind.” I don’t fill the forms out that way; I substitute “being of simple mind.”

That’s closer to the truth and I can prove it. It doesn’t take much to amuse me. Give me a spot to sit and something to watch—and I’m good… no, I’m at my best! Following is an observation I have arrived at based on looking out into our back yard from our second story window. Now, you have to know, it can’t get more scholarly than that!

One day in fairly short succession I noticed how the omnipresent crows “rule” our back yard. [Well… almost, but I’ll get to that part.] We have several squirrels that pass through every once in a while. On this day I noticed a particularly ambitious squirrel go bounding up the trunk of a dogwood tree, climb a few branches and take a flying leap onto the roof of our garden shed. Not content with his view, he raced to the top of a small cupola that sits on the building and for an instant seemed, in all his glory, to be surveying “his” kingdom.

His “reign” was extremely short-lived. With blinding speed, approaching from behind, he was strafed by… you guessed it—a crow. It was too funny for words.

Startled by the “attack,” the squirrel jumped, rolled, and ran—actually all rather gracefully!—from the cupola, down the dogwood on the shed’s other end and hustled off for safety. I can only guess his thoughts… “What was THAT?!”

I cannot attest to whether it was the same crow or not—they DO all look alike—but only a few moments later there was more “action.” This time Peter Cottontail, one of our resident rabbits, ventured out into an open area of lawn trying to find a tasty morsel to eat. Leisurely grazing and I might add, minding his own business quite handily, AGAIN—he too was strafed by… yup… a crow!

The pursuer only relented when the rabbit ran into a flower bed and took cover.

I really don’t know what was going on. I do know that crows are very intelligent… so I guess this one… or two? had a point to prove. Their point—“Crows rule!” But having on an earlier occasion, some weeks before witnessed another confrontation I have to add the disclaimer… “Almost.” There was this one afternoon when I emptied the compost bucket in the garden, that the crows that began rummaging through my deposit even before I got back to the house, were taught a lesson about the food chain hierarchy. Seven or eight crows were busy searching for treasures when, possibly because their convergence had caused attention to be drawn to them, they were besieged by four larger turkey vultures who decided to drop in and crash the party.

The crows didn’t fight for the territory; I suspect they realized that would not have been a wise move on their part. Instead, they provided me with entertainment!

How so, you ask?! Well… unable to mount a frontal assault, several of the braver or perhaps hungrier… or maybe just angrier crows tried to “annoy the daylights out of these intruders.” As several of the turkey vultures were looking through the pickings, a few of the crows would try hopping up from behind to peck them in the… posterior, shall we say! With the crows’ “peck ‘n’ hop back” exploits, the turkey vultures did not appear particularly amused; but essentially undaunted they tried their best to go about their scavenging.

And so, in simple fashion [as I said above!], I will attempt to raise a profound question from these episodes of nature’s nonsense! How many times in our lives do we elect ourselves “king of the cupola?” How often, as we are enamored with our self-inflated value… are we put in our place?! But, even more… how often do those who put others in their place… get put into their place?!

There is no innocence in the search for power and glory.

Self-serving pride will only lead to defeat… and ultimately death. THAT is why Easter is such an important story to tell!

God, in his infinite wisdom, sent the humble, human Jesus to live and die in our midst. To live, in order to teach us about the awesome power and might that God has. To die, to demonstrate for all time to come just who it is… who rules! And, lest you need a gentle reminder—there is none more powerful and victorious in life and over death than the Living God made known to us through the Cross and Crown of Calvary!

CROWING for Christ! [OK… that’s corny… but you get the point!]

Outdoors :: By “Hobby”

Fish for Free Day Held on Memorial Day Anyone who wanted to fish in Pennsylvania could do it for free on Monday, for the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission had designated that as one of two free fishing days, with no license required. There will be another one come Labor Day. It just so happened that the weather was extremely hot and humid on Monday, not the greatest of conditions for trout, which like cooler, flowing waters. Other species that fall in the warm weather category may have been biting, but smallmouth and largemouth bass season isn’t until June 18, so they had to be released if caught in any one of the lakes and rivers across our Keystone State.

Northampton County’s Waterways Conservation Officer Jeff Sabo had somewhat disturbing news as far as the PFBC is concerned in his report to county sportsmen at their meeting in Easton on May 23. Fishing license sales and trout stamps are down between 45,000 and 65,000 in comparison to past years. This was attributed in part to the poor economy and too much rainy weather this spring.

His report included some other information that might interest our readers.

May 21-27 was Safe Boating Week, and he advised anglers to always wear their personal flotation devices when out on the waters of lakes or rivers.

The latter is especially dangerous when high waters exist, and they have been that way recently. So much so that the Lunkerfest we reported about a couple weeks ago had to be postponed until this Saturday, June 4 at the Bow-

manstown / East Penn boat launch on the Lehigh River.

A Lehigh Township woman is believed to have drowned in the swollen Lehigh last week, when her canoe overturned.

Permits are needed by clubs for fishing contests if the fish are contained by some fencing in a certain stretch of water. Otherwise, Sabo is more lenient about permits. A tagged fishing contest is on in certain lakes across the state from May 14 to July 14, but the closest to this area is Lake Nockamixen in Bucks County, which is about 25 miles from Bath.

Sabo and PFBC Executive Director John Arway recently toured area creeks, and says that stocked fish are more popular with anglers than areas where only catch and release nature fishing is allowed. The Little Bushkill Creek has a fecal coliform problem that isn’t being cleaned up as it should be, but in any case where pollution is found, it can be reported by calling the pollution hot line, 1-855-FISHKILL. There is a shad restoration program going on at Hugh Moore Park, where two liters of fertilized shad eggs were brought in. But the only problem was that the ratio was two females to one male. Shad eggs have also gone to 16 schools in the continuation of the PFBC’s “Shad in Schools “ program, connecting our kids, their teachers and parents to shad restoration.
