After many months of inaction, something may soon be done about the heavily damaged Keystone Park pavilion. That was disclosed after Bath Borough Council did agree to let the Bath Business & Community Partnership go forward with plans for a gazebo. Council President Robert Fields on Monday revealed that a representative of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was in Bath last week and papers are being completed in which the borough will be getting money from FEMA for the pavilion, but he didn’t know the amount. Fields said plans are to lay a new concrete slab for the pavilion, repair the retaining wall at the parking lot at the west end of the pavilion, and provide new braces for the pavilion building itself. Hopefully, he said, that work can be completed in the spring. Tables and benches were removed because of juvenile vandalism. A resident had questioned about having their annual class reunion at the pavilion this summer, and this writer also mentioned the Lions Soccer Classic awards ceremony, which is normally held in the pavilion as well. For now, they are possibilities. Gazebo Okayed Back to the gazebo. That building is also planned for Keystone Park, and would include a restroom and storage room. BBPC is providing the funding, although not enough to cover all costs, as yet. They have a $2,000 grant, a $1,000 donation from the Bath Fire Co. Social Club, $500 from the
Monocacy Lodge 413 Masons and they expect to seek more donations from businesses. Councilman John Kearns said it could cost $10,000. The borough will monitor the project, and the fire company social club has volunteered to help. Zoning Officer Dennis Huth said it would be an accessory use and the Bath Planning Commission has okayed the plans. Solicitor Blake Marles said that competitive bids would be needed if costing $10,000. Carol Bear-Heckman, Jennifer George and Kearns are the only members of Council working with BBCP who are involved. Mrs. George said it is a small project in relation to the much larger one of the pavilion. Fields questioned, “Do you want to build it or not? It has nothing to do with the pavilion. That’s a a separate item.
There was more discussion before a vote. Questioning the position of the bathroom and storage room in the gazebo, facing north and south or east and west. One resident wondered if they had a professional engineer design the plans rather than volunteers. Councilman Mike Reph asked about electrical outlets, panel board, and lights. And insurance. It was here that Huth said a building permit will be needed and there will be inspections. “Council can approve the concept,” he said. Kearns noted that ground has to be broken and work started before June, or they will lose the grant. Mrs. Heckman and Mrs. George moved and seconded that the BBCP be allowed to proceed with the project. All voted yes, except Reph. Continued on page 7
State budget threatens Transportation for students By Joe Korba Special to The Home News
At a breakfast meeting sponsored by the Greater Northern Lehigh, LeBEAM and Northampton Chambers of Commerce this past Tuesday, superintendents from area schools discussed the issues, budgetary and otherwise, facing our schools. School officials from Parkland, Northampton Area, Northwestern Lehigh and Northern Lehigh spoke of the challenges in providing a quality education while working with diminishing resources. Rich Sniscak, Parkland Su-
perintendent, talked about the political climate that is often detrimental to public schools. “At no time can I remember public education being vilified like it is today,” Mr. Sniscak said. Part of the problem, in his opinion, is that the media sensationalizes too many negative stories about education. “You don’t hear about how PA is ranked 7th nationally in public education, we spend more time talking about budgets than talking about educating,” Mr. Sniscak said.

Cub Scouts race in the snow
More than 100 Scouts and family members from Minsi Trails Council participated in the Cardboard Box Derby held at Blue Mountain Ski Area on March 3. The Cub Scouts along with their den and adult leaders built the “sleds” using nothing more than cardboard, duct tape, glue and string. Awards were presented for fastest runs, longest runs, and best design.

About Washington
As February 22nd recently passed many Americans who can remember when that day was exclusively a Washington national holiday in honor of the father of this country, regretted that Washington has been included with 42 other presidents in a holiday honoring all. That was not done to lower the honor and remembrance of our founding father but, in a sense, it did. When other Americans are remembered with a single national holiday, as recently was Martin Luther King, one has to wonder whether it was appropriate to end the single national holiday for the founder of the country. It should be remembered that not only was Washington our first president, it was Washington who won the independence for the country; in effect, he was the founder of the country. He led an often ill-equipped army against professionals and Hessians. He hung on when events seemed to be lowering hopes of victory. And with the French, who were at war with England at the time, he won the decisive battle of Yorktown, in 1781. (The French had more ground forces at that decisive battle, and their naval forces off shore defeated a British fleet bringing reinforcements to British Gen. Cornwallis). After that, two terms shaping the future of the nation, and establishing the proper role of a chief executive. All that--and no single national holiday!

By State Representative Marcia Hahn 138th Legislative District
Distracted driving legislation that was signed in November by Gov. Tom Corbett is becoming a reality in Pennsylvania. Senate Bill 314, which prohibits sending, reading or writing text messages on interactive wireless communication devices for all drivers while operating a vehicle, becomes law on Thursday, March 8. Prior to this bill taking effect, the offense of careless driving in the Vehicle Code covered any traffic violation committed as a result of being distracted, by any type of distraction as a summary offense, with enhanced fines if the offense causes serious injury or death. There was no state statute prohibiting the use of interactive wireless communication devices while driving. Senate Bill 314 as it was originally drafted listed texting while driving was a secondary offense. I voted with many of my House colleagues to amend the legislation on the House floor and strike out the secondary enforcement language, thus making enforcement of text messaging a primary offense with penalty of a $50 fine. This means that an officer can make a traffic stop of any person suspected of texting while driving. Deaths in crashes on Pennsylvania highways climbed to 1,324 in 2010, an increase of 68 from 2009, according to the latest Pennsylvania Department of Transportation statistics. A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that driver inattention led to eight out of 10 of all crashes and 65 percent of all near crashes.

Cubs visit Home News Corporate office in Palmer
While working on a Go See It requirement for Tiger Cubs and a Communications Belt Loop/Pin, several of the Cub Scouts and leaders from Pack 33 in Bath had a unique opportunity to visit the corporate office of the Home News. The children had a tour of the facility with Mr. Paul Prass of Innovative Designs & Publishing. The children learned about all of the publications that are prepared in the facility. They enjoyed seeing the
equipment that is used to produce the newspaper and the signs. The scouts were paired with ad designers to create their own designs, including race fan posters, greeting cards, posters, and even business cards. The boys were amazed at the size of the computer screens that were used. Their tour ended with pizza and a question and answer session in the conference room. A great time was had by all!

We’ve had our ups and downs with weather this winter – warm, then cold, then warm, then cold, but mostly warm. And by next Tuesday it will be SPRING!! Ye Ed got a news item from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, which is kinda interesting. It says that while we had extreme and unseasonal weather across the country in 2011 and early in 2012, there’s gonna be a change to more typical weather the rest of this spring and summer as the La Nina weather pattern breaks up. You know the folks in Indiana, North Carolina, Missouri and other places in the Midwest and South that have been going through deadly tornados are hoping that the weather pattern changes for the better. The USDA also says there will be improved rainfall in places like Texas, and hopefully not as much rain to the north where we saw flooding from a hurricane and tropical storm. Let’s get back to normal, that’s what I say. . . . Don’t forget to turn your watch and clock dials, or digital numbers, AHEAD this Sunday, ‘cause we’re going on Day-

Story of lady Wanderer to be Told in Pa. Dutch
Betty Krauss, a Goschenhoppen Festival volunteer from Palm, will give a presentation in Dutch at the Pennsylvania German Friends meeting on Thursday, March 15 at 7 pm. Krauss will portray Alice Reiner, a lady wanderer, who lived in her area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The public is invited to this free meeting at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, 1933 Hanover Avenue, Allentown. Even though her parents knew the Dutch dialect, Krauss did not learn it until she was an adult. Her grandfather had lived with her and her husband for some years and he taught her to pronounce and read the dialect. Friends from Huff’s Church also encouraged her in that venture. Alice Reiner, the lady wanderer, wore too many petticoats and took too few baths to be invited into homes. During her lifetime, she ate meals on porches and slept in the barns of residents from Allentown to Philadelphia. She was killed by a car in 1947 in the Goschenhoppen area. The Pennsylvania German Friends organization meets the third Thursday of the month at the church. Parking is available in the lot across Tacoma Street; use ground floor “Office” entrance. For further information, call 610.264.2979.

Astounding! In clinical practice I utilize magnesium frequently. Very effective. I consider it a calming mineral. So I routinely incorporate it into any nutrition regime that needs to address constipation, relaxation, and spasms. I also like to utilize magnesium with individuals who suffer with unexplained arrhythmias, palpitations, flutters and fibrillations. I supplement with six hundred milligrams per day regularly. I have read that up to half of the population may be deficient in magnesium. If this is even partly true, then we should sit up and take notice….and take magnesium. Magnesium is found in seaweed, beans, and greens. So consume these regularly. I prefer supplementation with magnesium lactate from Standard Process. Starting off slowly around 250 milligrams and work your way up from there. How will you know if you take too much? Ask any-

Straight to the point, many who are reading this today are overfed yet completely undernourished. What does this mean exactly? Realize most diets include the daily consumption of highly processed and refined foods. These “food-like” substances we consume are devoid of the vitamins and minerals that we need to thrive. Understand, living and thriving are two very different ways to exist. Clearly, even the worst of diets gets the bare minimum in order to exist. However, this is not without repercussions, whether in the short term or more likely long term. Shorter term, foggy thinking, emotional issues, tiredness, and reduced sense of well-being come to mind. In the early stages things may not be that bad, just a bit noticeable. Perhaps youth keeps them going. In the longer term, disease such as diabetes, heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and much more come to mind. Act early. Be healthy later. One mineral that tops my list to replenish immediately based on the SAD (Standard American Diet) is magnesium. In his book, The Ultramind Solution, Dr. Mark Hyman, MD lists the following as potentially related to a magnesium deficiency: Anxiety, autism, ADHD, head-
one who has quickly exceeded their body’s needs and they will tell you they suffered from loose stools. Not fun. So go slow. I consider magnificent magnesium as one of my core health maintenance supplements along with a high quality fish oil and vitamin D. From what I can see, deficiencies of these three are widespread. We will be talking more about this in future Natural Perspective™ articles. My best to all.

BASEBALL✷ ✷ It’s early to choose likely winners for the coming Major League baseball season but there are some trades and changes in lineups which offer hints. So an early guess.
Winners in the American League in the regular season could well be New York in the east, Detroit in the Central and Texas in the West division. In the National League a good guess is Philadelphia in the East, St. Louis in the Central and Los Angeles in the West. There will be upsets, perhaps by Florida, Boston, or other comers. What is likely, again, is that the big spenders, spending over a hundred million dollars on salaries, will attract the most fans.
Dryland gains some on St. Paul’s in dart baseball St. Paul’s UCC of Northampton won a pair of games, but Dryland-Trinity of Hecktown scored a sweep to gain a bit of ground in the Suburban Inter-Church Dart Baseball League on Monday.

Tony Stewart To Chair NHF Day Celebration
Leading NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver/owner Tony Stewart knows a thing or two about winning championships. As the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Stewart has won 12 driving championships, including three Sprint Cup Series titles, in a career spanning more than three decades. Stewart is a champion off the racetrack as much as he is on, and has been recognized for his philanthropic efforts via his Tony Stewart Foundation, which raises funds for distribution to three specific groups – chronically ill children, drivers injured in motorsports activities, and organizations dedicated to the protection of various animal species. This year, Stewart is a champion for another cause as he has been named honorary chairman of National Hunting and Fishing Day on Sat., Sept. 22. Congress established National Hunting and Fishing Day to recognize hunters and anglers for their leadership in fish and wildlife conservation. Since launching in 1971, the day has been formally proclaimed by every U.S. President, countless governors and mayors. Stewart joins an elite fraternity of entertainment and sports figures that have

It was agreed that the vendors should pay a $25 fee for the season, with a farm market manager to be paid $1,500 from these fees, and not from the Borough. Here again, Reph cast the only “no” vote. The market will be open in May through October, with area farmers and other businesses bringing their wares there for the public to purchase.

Solicitor Marles said he didn’t know if the dumpster screening would be a zoning amendment or a standing ordinance, having “no quick answers.” Mrs. George said it would be for the “betterment of Bath”, while Reph called it “impractical.” A resident also asked what the parking overlay district is about. Fields told her that it would be a benefit to attract new businesses in Bath. Kearns said he would provide a draft copy for council to review the proposed ordinance before it goes to Marles for legal passage. In the future, all draft ordinances will follow that path. Council was in executive session from 6:00 to 7:4 5 p.m., interviewing six persons as a possible permanent borough manager. The fire and EMS report by Fire Chief Ed Demchak for February showed these manhours: fire calls, 40; EMS calls, 5; drills, 146; administration, 240; equipment repairs, 10; meetings, 67; work detail, 30; fire police, 8, for a total of 546.

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Prior to any business on Thursday night, members of Northampton Borough Council on Thursday paid tribute to the late Joseph Leitgeb, Jr., who died recently at the age of 60 from an apparent heart attack. Leitgeb had served on Council for 26 years, but lost the recent election. For many years, he also
led the ceremony that recognized a sister city in Austria and Northampton. Members of Council said Leitgeb gave unselfishly of his time in serving the borough and will be missed.

ley, based in Walnutport, at a price of $196,075. This was more than $40,000 less than the borough had paid under a previous contract with Waste Management that expires on April 30. Included in the price is the cost per container, plastic liners, and the disposal of waste per ton. Other Matters • In his report, Borough Manager Gene Zarayko said that the Managers’ Association has been trying to determine what earned income tax money will be withheld from each community, that is collected from out-of-town workers in an area of the City of Allentown, where the funds will be going for a new hockey arena. Neither he nor any of the other managers were aware of legislation that came out of Harrisburg that authorized it. Supposedly, the arena is to become self-sufficient, so that the tax money will be returned to the other municipalities. Zarayko doesn’t believe it will happen. • A draft municipality agreement has been proposed in the HOME program by consultant Victor Rodite. It affects both Northampton and North Catasauqua. • February 15 was the last day for discounts on the garbage refuse bills to local residents. As of Feb. 23, the borough collected $860,000, with $255,940 still to be collected.

Councilwoman Werner has much To report at Council workshop
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Of all the reports on Thursday at a workshop meeting of Nazareth Borough Council, those of Councilwoman
Cynthia Werner were of most interest. First of all, she noted goals of the Center for the Arts, and how they will advertise for events, and have fund-raisers
such as a golf tournament. She noted that her economic development committee will no longer accept orders for memorial benches as part of Nazareth Heritage. She also listed the many committees that will be needed as the Borough of Nazareth prepares for its 275th anniversary in 2015. The recreation program has been losing money, but Council is hesitant about raising any fees, fearing that it might have a negative effect on enrollment. Mrs. Werner said the children greatly benefit from the program. On the kiosks that have been placed in town, they will
contain borough news with access by members of Council, and there will be space for the Chamber of Commerce, the Center for the Arts and other non-profit organizations. Churches are welcome, too, but if space is taken up, there may be some wait. Places and times of events will also be noted. There was an opening for pool/park manager, but the application deadline was Feb. 27. Other Matters A resident complained to Council that her home’s picture window was “egged” a couple times. Councilman Mike Kopach said he would make two motions on behalf of the finance committee this Monday at the regular meeting of Council. Rev. William Matz of the law committee said there would be “no parking” signs placed on a portion of Whitfield St. Jack Herbst said he would have a proposal for dealing with stray animals. Frank Maurek of the ecology committee announced that recycling will start on April 3 and the yard waste facility on Stoudt Blvd. will be open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 6 p.m. until December 1. At a previous Council meeting, approval was given for the following events: Firemen’s Easter egg hunt at park, April 1; Downtown Bike Fest, sponsored by Chamber of Commerce, on May 19; annual Firemen’s/Kiwanis Car-

THIS KIOSK is located at Center Square and is triple-sided to display information residents need to know.
Kiosks set up In Nazareth Three kiosks have been pur-
chased and installed by Nazareth Borough that will contain information helpful to residents and others who may be visiting here. The purchase was made possible by a $5,000 grant from Northampton County, plus at least $3,150 of the borough’s funds, and there is LED lighting to show the information as it gets darker. Contained in the booth-like kiosks will be meeting schedules by Borough Council, the Planning Commission, and other government boards; along with announcements by non-profit organizations, Chamber of Commerce, Center for the Arts, cultural events in the community, and maps and tourist information for people visiting in the borough who want to know where the historical attractions may be located. Councilwoman Cynthia Werner said the boards will be continuously updated. Committee chairmen on Council will have keys to get into the kiosks as needed. The kiosks are at Centre Square, at the Council chambers near Veteran’s Memorial Park, and at the green space next to the government center.

Carpenter’s Community Church
Eeney-Meeney-Miney-Moe When I was a kid and several of us wanted to play a game of Kickball, Dodgeball or War (not the card game, but the outdoor activity where the Americans squared off against the Germans or Japanese, and we all wielded our fake machine guns and would play dead for 5 seconds before being miraculously resurrected to fight another battle), we “chose” who played on what team. The two best athletes, self-appointed to conduct the draft, “chose” oneby-one who they wanted to play on their team. Needless to say, these two team captains made their choice based on skill level, from the best to the worst. Today this draconian practice would lead to a school suspension for discrimination. How unlike this draft was God’s draft. We read about it in the briefest of words in Romans 1:1 (NLT): “This letter is from Paul, a slave of Christ, chosen by God to be an apostle and sent out to preach His good news.” God “chose” the Apostle Paul for a particular purpose, but He didn’t do so based on Paul’s credential. Think about the apparent lunacy of God’s selection. He wanted to win the world over to His Cause so He handpicked the guy who most aggressively opposed it. Sure sounds to me like a programmatic suicide mission. I would’ve “chosen” the guy who personified the utmost in allegiance, passion and savvy to the Cause. Frankly, I would’ve “chosen” anybody else before I would’ve “chosen” Paul. But as the Bible reminds us elsewhere, “God’s ways are not our ways”. Now how does this ancient selection relate to us today? From my limited, finite perspective, I conclude that God obviously made a “mistake” when He “chose” me for the pastorate. In my formative schooling, I earned the very vanilla grades I received. In my oratorical skills, I couldn’t string two coherent sentences together. And in my psychological development, I didn’t like myself very much. “But God’s ways are not our ways.” He “chooses” as He pleases and look what He did in and through the Apostle Paul! Now just imagine what amazing achievements He could do through you and me if we would but trust Him with our lives! The world has never recovered from Paul’s impact. The same potential awaits us. tor of Facilities and Operations and Dr. Riker for their continued perseverance in guiding the projects through to completion. Dr. Lesky said that the dollars saved as a District on energy consumption can now be applied to the programs and services provided to our students. The District will continue to look for areas of savings so that they may continue to be fiscally prudent in the way taxpayer dollars are spent, while meeting their obligation to prepare students for a successful future.

Students compete with creativity at Odyssey of the Mind
By Alice Wanamaker The Home News
Over 700 local students put their creativity to the test at Northeast Pennsylvania Odyssey of the Mind's largest regional tournament on March 3 held at Pocono Mt. West High School. More than 100 teams from 45 area K-12 schools competed including those from Northampton Elementary, Middle and High Schools. Odyssey of the Mind is an international creative problem-solving program. Teams receive a "long-term" problem at the beginning of the school year that they must solve in an eight-minute performance within a small budget. “It’s a fantastic program that pushes children to think outside the box while exercising skills across every academic and artistic discipline,” said Ryan Balton, regional public relations director. “The acting, writing, engineering, scenery, costumes – all aspects of the solution – are completely original creations of the students. It’s exciting to see what they come up with.” Teams from our area who competed included Cheston Elementary from Easton, Easton Area Middle and High School, Lehigh Valley Academy, Moore Elementary School, Northampton Sr. High School, Northampton Borough Elementary School and Palmer Elementary School. Of the local schools that had teams at the regional tournament, Northampton High School will be the only team advancing to States in April. The team was able to place 595 lbs of weight on their balsa wood structure and ranked 1st place in the You Make The Call Division III category. Other team scores; Northampton Borough Elementary placed 6th in the Weird Science Division I category, Moore Elementary placed 8th in the To Be or Not To Be Division II category, and another Northampton Borough Elementary team placed 11th in the Odyssey Angels Division I. At state finals, teams will compete to advance to World Finals at Iowa State University in May. The region also includes Bradford, Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike

swers. “How do we continue to offer the same opportunities?” asked Northwestern Lehigh Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Holman. “We have had to try and do more with less and come up with other ways to support programs like grants and other alternate funding,” she continued. In a district like Northwestern, which has a relatively low number of students but a huge coverage area, funding transportation could be a problem under the new budget. Gov. Tom Corbett’s plan to pay for transportation, the Student Achievement Block Grant, bundles transportation money in with basic education subsidies, employees’ Social Security reimbursements and busing instead of using the old formula to pay for every gallon of gas a schoolbus uses. At a time when gas prices are rapidly rising, that could leave administrators with the unenviable task of asking voters to choose between higher property taxes or ending school bussing in the districts. Joe Kovalchik, Superintendent of Northampton Area School District, said his district will see an approximate 3 million dollar shortfall next year and is trying to come up with practical solutions to cut costs like reducing the amount of credits needed to graduate from 26 down to 24 and focusing on “front-end loading” which will emphasize kindergarten and early elementary education. “The way we’ve done business [in the past] is over,” Mr. Kovalchik said. “One good thing about all of this is that Harrisburg is making us step back and look at what we’re doing. What we, as educators, are offering students and taxpayers,” he concluded.
