Dream Come True Children go fishing

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Twenty-seven children – all part of Dream Come True – enjoyed a morning of fishing on Saturday at the Petersville Rod & Gun Club lake in Moore Township.

It was a real treat for the youngsters, all of whom have had or now have either terminal, chronic or other serious illnesses that have impacted their lives.

The Petersville R&G fish committee stocked the lake with trout and arranged the big day for the youngsters after it was learned that they could no longer go to Ranger

Lake in Lehigh County. Chris Domyan, a member of the committee, said that with this event and two others that were fishing contests for youngsters and adults, some 1,700 trout were stocked in the waters.

There were some big fish caught, too. Eight-year-old Ryan Glose of Upper Macungie was fortunate enough to land two “lunkers”, 22 and 20 inches, among others on his line. He proudly showed them off with his friends and family members, especially Mom and Dad, Andrea and Continued on page 16

Thanks to teachers agreeing to give a portion of their salaries back in the coming school year, and other negotiations that will mean lesser increases for administrators, custodial and security staff, all programs that were to be reduced or eliminated will remain in place, Northampton Area School District Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik announced on Monday.

The programs include Washington’s Crossings, extensions programs at the middle school for math and English, remedial instruction and intervention, and fullday kindergarten.

Kovalchik said also that support and maintenance staff is being negotiated. The amount of money saved, some $800,000 also helps save teacher jobs.

He thanked the teachers and the Northampton Area Educators Association union for the agreement that was

reached, and said that the number one goal in the school district is the education of the students, improving their achievement.

In public comment later, an East Allen Township resident thanked the teachers and the administrators for their sacrifices.

Gene Kratz, president of the NAEA, said the proposal for pay back was made by the teachers, who felt it was the moral right thing to do. Kratz said the union is satisfied that the teachers will keep their jobs and that the proposal was good for the district. He noted, “We take a lot of pride in our community and we are very proud of our students.” Later, Director Jane Erdo commended Kratz and the teachers for what they did. Director Corey Fenstermaker also thanked the teachers.

Five Retirees Five teachers who are retiring were honored on Monday at the school board meeting.

They include John Wunderler, Connie Votta, Donna Longley, Nancy Biechy, and Lucille Loy. All of them shook hands with the school directors, who wished them well in their retirement. The resident also congratulated the retirees, who he said represented hundreds of years in teaching.

Director and board vice president Jean Rundle acknowledged that her sister, Maryann Dech, has been a teacher for many years and is retiring. She said the teachers have kept things in place, and said it is good that the district will keep full-day kindergarten.

After Irvin Kemp had said, “How do you justify putting money into a new middle school when money is a problem?” he asserted that the public has been misled on the cost of renovating the 40-yearold middle school. He said the Pa. Dept. of Education was Continued on page 13

TV Content With television now in most homes in the country, thus influencing the behavior of American youth to an unprecedented degree, the content of TV programming is of major concern to those looking to the nation’s future.

A serious look at the hundreds of channels available is disturbing. Much of the content is violence, of course, dating from the American cowboy heritage, but content without violence is also disturbing.

Common behavior, dress and speech is very low grade.

Young Americans who emulate what they assume is normal behavior as seen on American television are not seeking the status and character early Americans sought, the tradition of ladies and gentlemen, as in the mother country.

One need not be of English heritage to favor America’s youth following in that tradition, which was the goal and hope of the majority in early America, may still be.

But U.S. television is a dominate influence among those millions who know nothing better, who assume this low-grade behavior is normal and acceptable.

It’s some pretty nice spring weather we’ve been having this

week, and it was beautiful for Mother’s Day. I hope all the mothers had a happy day with their kids and grandkids. They deserved it. . . .Next Tuesday is

T

the big primary election day.

Lots of signs going up for local candidates, but the hot issue for our county is the question about Gracedale, our county home for the elderly. However the vote goes, I hope it’s for the better. It sure has stirred up a

lot of debate. . . . I hear there was a zoning meeting about the sun panels up by the Moore Township school, but people didn’t get much of a chance to speak.

Maybe it’s not as much of a hot topic as it was over in Lehigh Township. . . . .Big crowd as usual at the Moorestown church’s ham supper on Saturday. Nothing like a good church supper with all that home cooking. . . . Grass is growing fast where folks put on fertilizer, so it calls for more mowing. Those who may have fertilized it lately are hoping just for one day of rain to get the stuff to work. I reckon it’ll come soon enough. . . . Let’s hope it doesn’t rain this Saturday, though, ‘cause that’s the day of the big Bath community yard sale. Can’t have rain when you put all the things out in the open for folks to look over and buy. I know Elmira was up in the attic the other day scrounging around for things to sell, all the things we’ve been collecting over the years, and just kept stored away. . . . Note from a reader: What is a 7 year old doing out hunting with a 20 gauge Ithaca along with her FIVE YEAR OLD SISTER??? And at that young age, shouldn’t they be taught to repsect all living things? Very scary that two little girls with their father and grandfather had guns to shoot turkeys for youth gobbler season. . . . Grapevine has it that the Turn-In Restaurant in town has been sold to some folks in Hellertown, with the present owners retiring. . . .Looks like the new tenants are moving into the former gas station / travel agency building down at the square. . . . I said it before and I’ll say it again. All that great pitching isn’t gonna hack it after a while if the Phillies don’t get more hitting. They hafta score runs, and put their hits together when they get ‘em. They got the hits and runs, and had great defense with four double plays to beat Florida. Anyhow, hockey and basketball are over in the City of Brotherly Love and they can concentrate on the Phillies, and put more games on TV, too. . . . Did I hear right? Are gas prices gonna plunge soon?

It’s about time. People’s wallets are getting mighty thin having to put more than $50 into a fill up. They oughta be at the level that a former Pennsville station says, $2.97. . . . When the farmers’ market opens down at Keystone Park in a week or so, take a gander at the horse chestnut tree and the plaque down at the east end of the park. You know it came from Mount Vernon, Va., and was shipped as a sapling through the Bath Post Office years ago – before there was a UPS or FedEx. . . .Gotta tend to the yard. Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to vote next Tuesday!

Op/Ed

News Sermonette The Rev. Edward L. Bean Pastor, Grace United Methodist Church

A Godly Woman’s Influence It is surprising that the tradition of Mother’s Day in America began as part of a church service. In 1907, Anna Jarvis arranged a special mothers’ service in her church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1914, the United States Congress chose the second Sunday of May as an annual and national Mother’s Day commemoration. As a church and a nation, we naturally want to honor all women as God’s special gifts.

Christian women and mothers are people of rare beauty of character and full of cherishing love. The Apostle Paul reflected the high role of godly women when spiritually challenging young Timothy with the words, “I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your Grandmother, Lois, and in your Mother, Eunice, and I am persuaded now lives in you also” (2 Tim. 1:5). God’s holy record has persevered down through history with this remarkable testimony to the influence of holy women.

Who can measure the presence of godly women and mothers? They give themselves in devotion to their husbands. Even before birth they bond with any children with whom they are blessed and that special loving bond continues to reach out to each family member throughout all of life. Patiently, Christian mothers provide the first education for their children and prepare them to face a world filled with opportunities and pitfalls. This godly influence and love provides the environment for self-acceptance and the basic learning skills needed to develop healthy relationships from birth to the grave.

Tillman Hobson summarized godly women’s roles when he said: “Christianity begins at home. We build our character there, and what we become in after years is largely determined by our training and home environment.” This May 2011 is designated as Family Month and May 12 is Mother’s Day, let us heed the words in Proverbs 31: 31-32…”a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done…”

May 12-18, 2011

Moore Township Residents I WANT TO SET THE FACTS STRAIGHT! I just finished reading the May 8, 2011 Morning Call Newspaper. Because of the unfair comments made by my opponents, I felt the need to respond.

You Be the Judge!

1. Mr. Lack, who was a township supervisor from 2000-2005, stated that he was a part time township employee during his term. When Mr. Lack ran in 1999, he stated that he wasn’t going to be a working supervisor and that he would not accept the benefits offered by the auditors. In fact, every year that he served as supervisor, he averaged 30 hours per week. The township considered this to be full time. It didn’t take long before Mr. Lack went back on his promise. He received all sick and vacation days, all personal days, and the most expensive cost to taxpayers, full medical benefits, including Blue Cross and Blue Shield /Dental / Life insurance / Vision / and a Prescription Plan. The full package was about $1500.00 a month. When you multiply that by 72, that would equal around $108,000.00 of your tax dollars. This is what you paid, as he put it, for “a part time” supervisor. Wouldn’t you like a “parttime” job that paid that kind of benefits? (During my six years in office, except for life insurance, I have declined these costly benefits. This has saved the taxpayers well over $100,000.

2. In the Morning Call article, Mr. Lack states that there is too much money being spent by the road department and not enough of it on the roads. I’m not sure where he is going with that statement. Other then pay roll, which comes out of the general fund, road expenditures come out of the Liquid Fuels Account. The only things that can be paid for from that account are blacktop, salt and cinders, road equipment, the rental of equipment for the roads, and pipes and catch basins. That’s the nature of expenditures by the road department. As matter of fact, the state of Pennsylvania has a state auditor check over the state liquid fuels bills every year and everything has to be right.

3. Mr. Lack has attended very few Township Supervisors’ Meetings in the last six years. Could this be because he spends a great deal of time at his residence in Hammond, New York?

4. I hope voters don’t forget the can of worms that Lack opened when he was Supervisor and forced out a popular and well-respected police chief. This whole sorry episode was the result of Mr. Lack’s arrogance in believing he could do anything he wanted as Supervisor.

5. If you remember the last election, David Gogel actively sought the nomination for Supervisor on the Republican ballot. He won, but did not accept the nomination. Popular wisdom was that Mr. Gogel was not a serious candidate for the office. Gogel ran to open the way for a township employee to run unopposed. The tactic didn’t work, because the Republican Committee put Richard Gable on the ballot to replace Gogel. What is interesting in this election is that Gogel is running again for nomination on the Republican ticket, but he has a David Lack sign in his yard! Is this another one of the sneaky deals that Gogel has become known for? If Gogel and Lack both win their party’s nomination, will Gogel drop out again? By the way, Gogel is also running for Northampton Area School Board, so what is he up to?

6. Mr. Emery, my other opponent on the Democratic ticket, has only been to a couple of township meetings. In the Morning Call article, he has raised the issue of the need for openness and transparency in government, an ideal that I firmly believe in. However, Mr. Emery has not explained how and when he was denied any right to information by the Township.

I notice that Mr. Emery has a great deal of political signs throughout the Township. However, when you drive down Kuter Road, where he resides, you won’t see one sign supporting him in his neighbors’ yards. There is much truth to the old saying that those closest to you, know you best.

I believe that when you run for public office, you must be motivated by more than personal vendettas. Judging from the numerous messages and complaints he has made to the Township, Mr. Emery has an ax to grind with his neighbors, our police department and anyone else in the Township who does not agree with him.

During the past six years, I have tried to be a Supervisor that you can trust and respect. There is much that we must do to move our Township forward, but I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish. Despite the fact that we have the second lowest township tax rate in Northampton County, we have a full time police force, excellent recreation facilities, a farm preservation and open space program, the first regional composting program which provides compost free of charge to residents and a quality road maintenance program.

I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!

Historical society hears about Martin guitars and fund drive

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Members and guests of the Governor Wolf Historical Society were treated to a night of guitar music as well as learning about the history and craft of the famed Martin guitars at the annual dinner on Saturday night.

It was held in the historic Wolf Academy with an attendance of 34 persons. They were welcomed by society president Jan Semmel. She introduced officers and committee people with the society, and announced that a capital campaign has started to raise $375,000 for land purchase and further restoration work of the Ralston-McKeen House, and possibly add a blacksmith shop.

She told the group, “This is your heritage – our ancestors gave us this gift. It’s our responsibility to carry on.”

Pledge forms are available from the members. Mrs. Semmel credited the GWHS newsletter edited by Darrin and Carol Bear-Heckman with keeping people informed, as well as The Home News. She also announced that a plant auction would be held.

Guest speaker was George Molchany of Martin Guitar.

He said the business started in 1833 when people made their own music. While there were only three people in the beginning, now there are 485

employed at the Nazareth plant.

Molchany said Martin has experienced great economic growth, especially after World War II.. The company is now headed by the sixth generation of the family in the person of Christian Martin, who Molchany credited with leading the firm to record-breaking profits since he took over.

With three guitars on display, Molchany explained how they are constructed from such woods as poplar, mahogany and rosewood, as well as Sitka spruce. Rosewood goes into the sides, backs, fingerboard, headplates and bridges of the instrument. With hand craftsmanship, Martin guitars are known around the world, and many star celebrities in the music industry have played them. They range in price from $300 to $1,400 or $1,500, he said.

Molchany then demonstrated the various sounds of each guitar, and played tunes of blues, bluegrass and country western. “Back Home in Tennessee” seemed to be a favorite of his audience.

The music inspired a young girl to get up and sing a song, accompanied by Molchany on the guitar. She went through the words a-copella at first and then he strummed the chords of the guitar as Madeline Swan sang with perfection the song made famous

Many players are earning huge salaries and as long as teams have high payrolls, which require high ticket prices, stands are likely to remain partially empty. The answer is lower salaries. But teams have long-term salary contracts with many of their players. A difficult problem.

Pen Argyl H.S. wins County’s envirothon Despite the strong winds and rain, the Northampton County Conservation District held its annual Envirothon competition at Louise Moore Park on Thursday, April 28.

An environmental competition for students in grades 9 through 12, it consisted of teams tested on five areas: wildlife, forestry, soils and land use, aquatic ecology, and salt and fresh water estuaries.

The teams rotated through five stations taking written tests with some hands-on application. Competing were the high schools of Nazareth Area, Pen Argyl Area, Freedom, Easton Area, Northampton Area, and Wilson Area.

Pen Argyl Team #1 – Stephen Kloiber, Jess Nodine, Brandi Van Patten, Sara Vough, and Lauren Post – captured first place. Runners-up were Freedom High School and Northampton Area High

School.

Plaques and medallions were awarded to the top three scoring teams.

In memory of the services of long-time district board member and chairman, Bob Jones of Moore Township, the district presented the “Robert H. Jones Memorial Soils & Land Use Award” to the Freedom team for having the second highest score at that station. The team received a framed certificate and a $35 bookstore gift certificate to be used to purchase educational materials for the school’s Envirothon library.

The Pen Argyl team will advance to the State Envirothon on May 24-25 at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Snyder County. The winner of the state Envirothon will move on to the annual Canon Envirothon at Mt. Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada, this July.

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Pipe needed, Campbell Says at Moore meeting

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Former Moore Township Supervisors chairman David Lack questioned the present supervisors chairman, Maynard Campbell, about purchase of pipe at the Tuesday, May 3 meeting.

Lack said the purchase amounted to just under $10,000, and questioned why it was done when money at this time is tight, and there is no project in mind.

Campbell responded that, indeed, the pipes were purchased after getting three quotes. No pipes were bought last year, but they are needed whenever there are drainage issues to be solved or pipes need replacement.

Lack called it a “bad move”

plan were noted by engineer Al Kortze.

• The Luther Beil minor subdivision plans were denied when time ran out. Nothing was done since last year on the minor project.

• The supervisors approved buying two new basketball backboards at $299.99 each.

The recreation committee also needs a load of stone for the walking trail. Mutt mix was discussed by the commission, Sterling Laubach said, for dog clean-up. It was reported that the Blue Mountain Youth Soccer League sent in $3,000 for a tournament.

• The Environmental Advisory Council was scheduled to meet this Tuesday. The public was reminded about electronic waste disposal that will take place next month. It will be held at the Moore Township Municipal Building on Saturday, June 11 from 9 a.m. to 12 Noon, with various rates to be charged for the computers, fax machines, or many other types of electronic items that will be brought in.

• A deferral was granted for the William Jones lot line adjustment, because there will be no building. Road widening and obstruction were noted by John Becker of the MTPC. • The board approved solicitor David Backenstoe’s presence at a zoning hearing board meeting that concerns the proposals of MetroTek and the solar array at Moore Elementary School.

• A resolution approved calls for a delegate to the county tax collection committee. Northampton County will be collecting all earned income taxes beginning in Janu-

on Campbell’s part. Campbell commented outside of the meeting that the decision to purchase the pipe is could save the township money down the road if the pipe is needed in a crunch.

Both Campbell and Lack are candidates for Supervisor in the May 17 election.

Other Matters • A tree planting contract for Rt. 512 Industrial Park was awarded to J. Marter & Sons of Collegeville at a price of $19,800. It was the lowest of 14 bids received.

• Conditional approval was given to the plans of Blue Star Quik Stop, after the planning commission had already given its approval and issues were settled with the zoning hearing board. Conditions to the

When the audience was asked for any comments, one resident said that pipe put in at his property was “fantastic” in alleviating a drainage problem. He also questioned how to position the number for his property since he has a quarter mile driveway at Wayne Road. . . .The township was also complimented by another resident for work done on drainage.

Home energy program to be Drafted for possible grant

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News Consultant Victor Rodite on Thursday discussed with Northampton Borough Council a home energy program that could obtain Community Development Block Grant funds from Northampton County, primarily for low income, but also medium income families.

It involves an energy audit and energy saving improvements, with incentives. There is $1.3-million total money available in the county, and Rodite said not only would he like to write a program that would include Northampton, but Allen Township and North Catasauqua as well. As a rule, all safety items in the home have to be up to code.

Rodite was given permission to draft the program for Council’s approval at their May 19 meeting.

Other Matters • Mayor Tom Reenock said the war memorial project at Dewey & Lincoln Aves. will be completed by Memorial Day.

A flagpole was donated recently by the Schisler Funeral Home, and installed by Mayor Reenock and Reynold Morey.

Lantern lights will be paid by the Reichel Funeral Home. Reenock said volunteers are welcome to help work on the project in the evening. Wet weather has caused some delays.

In a related matter, it was reported later that skateboarders have been on the memorial plot. This is objected to because the plot is considered sacred grounds.

• Kenneth Hall saw a problem with curbing at the townhouse development of Louis Tepes that is partially in Allen Township and the borough. He said a private alley or driveway was put in by Tepes, but it is not in the developer’s plans.

• Council approved the lone bid of Eastern Industries for cold patch, stone, washed sand, anti-skid, and super pave and binder. In some cases the road materials are picked up, and in other cases delivered.

Mrs. Rundle said her late husband, Walter, asked years ago why the former junior high school was made into round pods, saying it was a bad move. She said she thinks there is a definite need for a new middle school now.

Director Robert Kocher said in a democratic society the majority rules, and he bemoaned spending a “fortune” to launch an appeal against the East Allen Township Supervisors over a zoning decision. The appeal is now costing $18,794 and growing as the appeal to the ZHB goes on. The next hearing is May 29.

Meghan Starr will attend a seminar on behavior in high schools at Harrisburg in place of William Hume.

Bath and Moore Twsp. Lions have Fishing for blind

A day of fishing by clients of the Center for Vision Loss was hosted on Saturday morning by members of the Bath and Moore Township Lions clubs.

It was held in the pond at the home of Moore Twsp. Lion Charles Schmalzer.

The day began with breakfast for all, and then the blind and visually impaired men and women cast their lines into the pond, pulling out trout that were stocked in the waters. The Lions have hosted this fishing event for several years, beginning when the Center for Vision Loss was a part of VIABL in Bethlehem.

We have a candidate running for Northampton School Board that resigned from Bangor School Board on 10/25/10 (Express Times 11/17/10). Mr Baird lists his address at East Allen Township. However, East Allen does not have him listed as a resident.

What that means is that Mr. Michael Baird does not pay per capita tax to East Allen, nor did he pay Northampton School taxes. School board policy #004,section 2 A lists a person must have a year residency to be elected to School Board. Does he?

Mr. Baird owns property in Bangor, not Northampton School district.

Do you want to vote for someone to serve on the Northampton School Board that does not have a vested interest in our children? Our taxes?
