Good Scout Award presented At Cement Belt BSA breakfast

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The presentation of the 2011 Good Scout Award to Arthur Schisler of Northampton highlighted a fund-raising breakfast by the Cement Belt branch of Boy Scouts of America Minsi Trails Council at the BarnHouse Village in East Allen Township on Thursday morning.

Master of ceremonies Al Edelman, Jr. explained to the audience of people from various businesses and organizations that the funds that are donated go to many things associated with the scouting movement, asserting that,

Food drive Success

Almost 7,000 pounds of non-perishable food items were collected by mail carriers for the Bath Post Office on Saturday in a drive to aid the Bath Area Food Bank. It was one of the largest amounts ever collected in this annual effort to stamp out hunger.

The local food bank, which is based at St. John’s Evan.

Lutheran Church in Bath, is presently serving 137 families with food.

“We believe in what scouting stands for.”

Preceding the award presentation, two young men told about their experiences in scouting and what it means to them. They were Thomas Gerrity, a Webelos Scout in Cub Pack 62, and Daniel Longacre, an Eagle Scout from Troop 50.

In introducing Schisler, Alfred Pierce described the principles and qualities of entrepreneurship which Schisler has. He told of the many activities in which Schisler has been engaged over the years, and his being a third generation funeral director in Northampton. In addition, he is an avid hunter, sportsman and conservation enthusiast.

The Eagle Scout presented the award to Schisler, who noted “service above self exemplifies scouting.”

An aide to State Representative Julie Harhart presented a resolution from the Pa. House of Representatives noting Schisler’s years of community service and dedication.

Craig Poland, Minsi Trails Council Executive and CEO, told the audience that “scouting prepares kids for a bet-

The LeBEAM Chamber and the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce will award First Star Bank with the 2011 Community Spirit Award at their fourth year anniversary awards mixer on Tuesday, May 24, at Gaetano’s Italian Restaurant in Bath.

The award was created to honor and celebrate businesses in the LeBEAM area (parts of Lehigh, East Allen, Moore townships, Chapman and Bath Borough) that have demonstrated a commitment to the community. Ideal nominees are those businesses and/or employees that contribute to the community.

First Star Bank was originally chartered in 1893 as the Bethlehem Building and Loan Association. Over the years there were mergers with Citizens Building & Loan, Bethlehem Building & Loan, and the Bath Savings & Loan to form the Greater Bethlehem Savings & Loan Association.

It became a public company in 1987.

To commemorate its 100th anniversary in 1993, the name was changed to First Star Bank. With nine branches throughout the Lehigh Valley, First Star Bank has a wide range of products and services to meet all financial needs.

Committed to serving the financial needs of the community, First Star Bank is also committed to serving through

involvement in community organizations. Many branch managers and business development officers serve on the boards of organizations such as the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Ambassador Committee of the GLVCC, Junior Achievement, Rotary Club, Kiwanis, Bath Business and Community Partnership and Alburtis Business Revitalization, just to name a few.

Since 2003, First Star Bank has been a corporate sponsor of March of Dimes, enlisting walkers in the annual March for Babies, holding bake sales, selling booties and wristbands, raising over $8,000.00 in 2011 alone! The bank has also taken on a Breast Cancer Fundraising initiative. Since 2008 First Star has raised over $17,000.00 for the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition. An annual “Tailgate for the Cure” is held at Notre Dame High School each October. The date for 2011 is October 9th.

First Star Bank has prided itself on serving the people and businesses of the Lehigh Valley for nearly 120 years and is excited about the prospect of the bright future ahead.

First Star Bank supports the LeBEAM Chamber with various sponsorships for programs and events.

Awarding Grant LeBEAM will also award a grant to Moore Township As-

sociation for Families in Need Inc. The event, lasting from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. will also include: Gain tools from Dr. Ryan Gilroy, Hartzell’s Pharmacy, and the Lehigh Valley Nutrition Center for a proactive approach to health and wellness that will ultimately lead to business success.

Complimentary chair massages will be provided by certified massage therapist Denise Mikovitch.

Voting light As rains fall Early on Tuesday morning, election polling places were not busy as a steady rain continued to fall. The prediction was for heavy rains, and so at press time, it didn’t appear that the count would be very big in the municipal primary.

Voters had a chance to pick candidates in their party who they wanted to see on the ballot for the November 8 election.

The referendum on voting “yes” or “no” regarding the potential sale of Gracedale, the Northampton County nursing home for the elderly, was at the bottom of the electronic ballot.

Results of the election as they become available will be printed in next week’s edition of The Home News.

Rains Dampen Yard Sale

Continued on page 7

YARD SALE was held in the garage of My Place Restaurant on E. Northampton St. on Saturday when a drizzling rain all day washed out most of the community yard sale for the rest of the borough.

There was one location on W. Main St. that kept items outdoors, but after a while even that fizzled in the dampness. There was one big success for the day, however –– the collection of used clothing in the My Place garage, as a fund-raiser for Bath’s coming 275th anniversary.

Get Out A question more and more are asking, and have been asking, is how much more time will it take before Washington realizes our effort to establish a democracy in Afghanistan is more idealistic than realistic.

The escape of hundreds of Taliban leaders we were holding in a prison, captured in years of effort, in late April, complicates our effort to win over the support of the people of Afghanistan.

Also in late April on two occasions one of a group of civilians we were training as security personnel turned on U.S. trainers, killing half a dozen, then fled.

Latest figures show support for U.N. occupation forces declining. That after a decade of war! Both the British and Russians tried in the last century to occupy and stabilize Afghanistan, both failed. The current U.N. effort is failing.

It is past time to get out, and save American lives being sacrificed for nothing certain.

Opinion A Responsible Budget Proposal

By State Rep. Marcia Hahn (R-Northampton)

When Gov. Tom Corbett made his budget address in March, many of the initial responses to what he said were not favorable. While expressing displeasure for what he laid on the table that day, those who questioned him needed to keep in mind that the opinions he voiced were nothing more than proposals.

No state budget ever passed in Pennsylvania has mirrored what was initially offered as a spending plan. Budget addresses need to be viewed as the initial step in what is often a long and deeply involved negotiating process.

House Republicans have come out with a budget proposal of our own, an amendment/response to what the governor laid out. It concurs with some of the things he would like to see happen and addresses other elements we feel need dealt with in a different manner.

House Bill 1485, the response to Corbett’s plan, agrees with his spending figure of $27.3 billion. While there are signs that the economy is turning around, they are very elementary signs.

Government needs to live within its means now more than ever. Holding the line on spending is a must, as we seek to be better stewards of taxpayer dollars. Pennsylvanians everywhere continue to be forced to do more with less. State government needs to do likewise.

To that end, our proposal reduces the amount of money budgeted for the Legislature by $15.3 million. This is nothing new for our caucus, which has been more cost conscious over the last few years with issues such as staffing. House Bill 1485 is a continuation of that practice.

By far, the biggest adjustment to the Corbett budget proposal deals with education. While our school districts need to be more frugal in this economic climate, they are being asked by the governor’s plan to cut far too deeply. Our proposal increases K-12 education funding by more than $200 million. As a result, all Pennsylvania school districts would be supported at pre-federal stimulus (200809) levels.

House Bill 1485 also raises the amount of higher education funding by $380 million over Corbett’s proposal. It increases support for the State System of Higher Education by $195 million, thus reducing the governor’s proposed 54 percent cut to 15 percent, including lost stimulus money.

The amendment also raises funding levels to state-related universities by $180 million, again reducing the governor’s

proposed cut from 51 percent to 25 percent.

What allows us to increase support for education while maintaining a set spending figure is our treatment of welfare. Incidents of fraud, waste and abuse in the system have been uncovered by Auditor General Jack Wagner, but weren’t sufficiently addressed by Corbett’s plan.

Our proposal cuts welfare spending by $470 million. The Rendell administration acknowledged but failed to do anything about a 4 percent “error rate” in the welfare system. Welfare fraud robs the taxpayers and cheats the people who truly deserve such support. Our budget proposal confronts the problem head on.

Many legislators who have served in office longer than I say this is the most challenging budget we have ever had to craft. The economy, coupled with past practice by the previous administration, leave us in a hole that will not

Op/Ed be easy to climb out. Tough choices must be made, something that is no different than many of you have been forced to do. We feel the proposal we have put forth balances difficult decisions with emphasis on support for essential areas, thus combining to keep Pennsylvania on track for the days when times are better.

A Way To Save

“Are you saving any money since you started your budget system?”

“Sure. By the time I get it straightened out every evening, it’s too late to go anywhere.”

Not So Good

“Is it true that it costs a lot to have your family tree looked up?”

“Well, not exactly. I paid a small sum to have it looked up and a large sum to have it hushed up.”

News Sermonette The Rev. Linda Leuser Pastor, Salem United Church of Christ

Loving From the Heart I Peter 1: 22b “…love one another deeply from the heart.”

Just a few weeks ago, we celebrated the most joyous day of the Christian year; Easter, the day when Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. My church has a Sunrise Service each year in Fairview Cemetery, so at 5:45 we started to gather in the foggy, misty darkness of that morning; members, non-members and strangers alike. All of us were waiting to experience the love of that ultimate gift; the blessing of Christ’s salvation.

Three rugged wooden crosses had been set in the ground at the top of the hill, positioned perfectly so that the rising sun would come up behind them. By 6:00 over 70 people were waiting and watching for the first light of Easter morning. It was a far cry from the women who went to the tomb grieving on that first Easter.

The bulletins were distributed, and our voices were raised in the Bible readings, prayers, and familiar songs of the season. Our youth had baked a loaf of homemade bread the night before at their lock-in, and we filled a goblet with grape juice in preparation to celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion in the morning stillness.

This informal holy meal, offered to all baptized Christians who professed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, had never before been celebrated at this outdoor service.

Gone were the formal liturgy and the silver communion plates and cups. Gone were the rows of people, separated from the altar by the open space at the front of every church.

As each person walked up to receive a piece of the freshly baked bread, and the assurance of God’s blessing, it was an emotional moment. We looked into each other’s eyes and felt that exchange of God’s deep love, transferred from one heart to the other. The commemoration of the Eucharist was complete when each one dipped a corner of their bread into the juice, and quietly blended back into the crowd.

Just as we were singing the last hymn, a huge orange disc of light rose through the mist illuminating those crosses. It was a sunrise, and a service, to remember. We shared the stillness, the foggy darkness, the warmth of the breeze, the symbolic body and blood of Christ, and the love of God for one another on that morning.

Those who attended, from the oldest to the youngest, lived out Peter’s instruction to “love one another deeply from the heart” on that Easter morning. Sometimes the Spirit catches us unaware and provides an unexpected blessing.

With all the preparations, the visiting, and the cooking, I hope you were able to take a quiet moment to think about the true meaning of the day. I also hope you experienced God’s love for you on Easter, and that you passed it on to someone else in his name. Isn’t that what Jesus would have wanted us to do?

Two Musuems Open Saturday Wouldn’t you know it? We had more than a week of sunshine and great weather, but it has turned ugly ever since, beginning with Saturday, when folks wanted to show what they had to sell on community yard sale day in town.

As Bill Bendix usta say, “What a revolting development!”

It hasn’t been a hard rain, but drizzling that just makes things damp and the clouds make it dreary. Haven’t heard if they wanta have a yard sale this summer or not, but maybe it would be better then.

There will be the Bath Community Day, but that’s not for putting out yard sale items.

Oh well, we’ll see what happens. . . . It was still cloudy and raining harder on Tuesday for the election, but with the big issue about Gracedale, and some lively contests for township supervisor, folks came out to vote anyway. . . .

Hopefully, the clouds and rain will be gone and the sun will be shining this Friday when the Bath Farmers Market opens at 3:00 o’clock down at Keystone Park at Green & Race Streets. I’m looking forward to good home-grown veggies, and maybe some good fruit, too. . . .Just heard that Ed Pany will be back in town to celebrate Flag Day at

Christ Church next month.

He always does a great job. I enjoy his columns on looking back to the old days and the cement workers of the month. . . . I think I said $2.97 a gallon on the sign about gas at the former market in Pennsville.

Nope, it reads $2.79 a gallon.

Young artists featured at art Extravaganza in Bath school Throughout the school year, students at George Wolf Elementary School in Bath have been enriched by their exposure to all kinds of art and artists in their weekly art classes.

This past Thursday, May 12, the school became one of the largest art galleries in the area.

Work from students from kindergarten to sixth grade was featured.

Students have studied artists from sculptor Claes Oldenburg to painters Hiep Nguven and Kutztown native Keith Haring.

Fifth grade students learned about product design and how not only do products need to be functional, but also aesthetically appealing. Their challenge was to create a functional and appealing butter dish. The results were amazing.

In conjunction with their science and reading curriculum, second graders used splatter painting and shading to create imaginative outer space views.

First graders designed their

own dream house as a followup to reading the story “The Big Orange Splot”, where the main character gets to change his house to match his dreams.

Third graders learned about the community art of circle painting, that promotes social interaction and creative expression.

Fourth grade boys and girls made simplistic bold cartoonlike drawings and paintings, brainstorming emotions and then thought about something that would make a person feel that way. Their ideas were portrayed on black paper with white paint.

Kindergarten students experienced textures by creating a medallion out of clay. They used everyday objects to press into the clay to create their masterpiece and then did a sketch of the jewelry they created.

It has been a busy and exciting year in the art room at George Wolf Elementary School.

We stand together to honor our nation’s warriors and to support their families.

“Warriors’ Watch Riders provides motorcycle escorts for military units returning from war, or for units deploying, and for individual warriors coming home or departing. Warriors’ Watch supports military families and unit Family Readiness Groups. We also provide motorcycle escorts and for

“Warrior’s Watch Riders’ definition of “troops” includes veterans of all military branches from all eras, police and firefighters, and all first responders. We honor our first responders and our veterans in the same way that we honor our currently uniformed troops.

All creation has its seasons under the sun and all creation has a beginning and an end. This is not morbid, it is our God-ordained reality on which we plan and carry out our activities, our lives.

Through it all our desire is to age gracefully, we are ever seeking the elusive fountain of youth. This is also the premise under which many businesses sell their longevity enhancement wares and services.

Clearly we understand now that youth is wasted on the young as our parents and grandparents told us. And as we move into the middle and later years we also begin to understand why the Pope isn’t 18 years old don’t we? Yes, as we each have our own first glance of mortality, the calm and consistent pursuit of a healthy body, mind, and most importantly, spirit moves up higher on our priority list!

I desire for myself, my loved ones, and all I encounter that we live a life full of abundance, hope filled, joyful, physically and mentally alert, all the while fulfilling our individual callings. Some may say that “it all doesn’t matter as we die anyway”. I understand yet disagree. I disagree more earnestly since the day my first child, my daughter, was born. “It” does matter. The way I care for myself, my family, and others matters. It matters to me, it matters to you, it matters to my eight year old son.

Aging gracefully doesn’t necessarily mean we must give up activities that we have enjoyed in our younger days but it may mean modification of sorts so we may enjoy them longer. While writing this week’s Natural Perspective™ I met with and spoke to a dear friend who has been an avid runner for, well, decades. He is in great shape for being 50. He was hobbling towards me this late afternoon almost leaning on his eighty something year old father. I then found out that he flew out to Nashville, Tennessee to run a half marathon, 13.1 miles, yet ended up walking four miles before pulling himself from the event.

Understand that his knee has been problematic and he has had arthroscopic surgery in recent past. We may say he shouldn’t have even attempted to travel so far and compete in a run when he didn’t feel 100%. However, this

Aging-gracefully parameters vary from person to person. Some may come to a realization that their smoking needs to stop. For others it may be reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption or caffeine.

Still others may downsize their home. Others may begin walking instead of running. Perhaps bike riding becomes aquatics. It is all relative to the situation at hand yet commitment to the pursuit of health and consistency is key. Until next week, my best to you.

There is no question he will be running again. How far and how often are beginning to become important considerations. Perhaps his marathon days are to be soon behind him. Perhaps half marathons as well. Time will tell. Will he cease running altogether? Unless absolutely necessary, I doubt it.

I teased the conversation towards taking up street biking. After the usual play on him wearing the bright colored spandex athletic wear, he professed that he has been thinking about it after he can’t run anymore. The joke being he always

Under direction of Miss Vicki Troxell, drama advisor, 45 students from the fourth, fifth and sixth grades presented a play called “Twinderella” at the George Wolf Elementary School on Friday, May 13.

The musical is based on the classic tale of Cinderella, but this version had a hilarious twist. Cinderella has a twin brother, Bob. There was not only a prince but a princess for Bob. The beloved Fairy Godmother had a partner, too. He was just the “godfather”, not the fairy part – he

Plans are moving ahead for the 2011 Junior Conservation School that will be held the week of July 17 – 24.

The conservation-oriented school is for all boys and girls aged 14 to 17, no matter where they reside. Up to 35 youths are accepted.

Sportmen’s clubs, Lions, and other organizations sponsor students, but those who attend are required to pay a portion as well.

One parent whose children have been a part of the school for a number of years feels that students in science or environmental classes in high school should find this school of particular interest.

Several who have graduated from conservation school have gone on to college and sought careers in those fields over the past 30 years that the school has operated.

Sportsmen are encouraged to attend tomorrow night’s meeting, and if parents would like to know more, they could as well.

Application forms are available for students to enroll now.

Cement worker Continued from page 9 Peter Banak, Paul Golden and a team consisting of Jeff Howey, Mark Dlugos, Paul Delong and Steve Chase, all good men.” Betty also works with her sister Carol Fritz who is a veteran purchasing agent and a former Cement Worker of the Month.

Mrs. Kichline works with a mass of data presenting monthly reports on the plants maintenance records, Accuracy is of permanent importance. She said, “I have always liked working with the numbers and words. I enjoy interacting with all my co-workers. Our employees attempt to gain optimum use of the plant’s equipment in a safe and efficient manner.”

I found Betty to be a friendly lady, who is dedicated to her job, her position is very challenging adapting to the ever changing role of technology. The new modern Keystone plant is more efficient than the old plant but the new technologies are more complex, so training remains a continuing process.

Mrs. Betty Meixell Kichline has been married to her husband Clark for 37 years. They are proud of sons Matthew and Jared. The family resides in Saylorsburg. I wish continued health and success to Mrs. Kichline and all my friends at Keystone. The employees are optimistic about the role cement will play in rebuilding America’s aging transportation system and hope to reach full production as the economy recovers.

Each month The Home News recognizes a local Cement Worker.

SOLAR ENERGY COMMERCIAL SYSTEM: Systems which exist solely to generate energy for sale back into the energy grid system, rather than being consumed on-site.

SECTION 2: Chapter 27, Part 6, Section 603 (Standards Relevant to Certain Special Exception Uses) is hereby amended by insertion of the following section: 18. Solar Energy Systems A. The purpose of this special exception is to promote the use of Solar Energy and to provide installation and construction of Solar Energy Systems in the Borough of Nazareth subject to reasonable conditions that will protect the public health, safety and welfare.

(8) A ground mounted Solar Energy System or a Solar Energy System attached to an accessory structure shall not be located within the required front yard setback, and no part thereof shall extend beyond the front wall of the principal building.

(9) The minimum Solar Energy System setback distance from the property lines shall be equivalent to the building setback or accessory building setback requirement of the underlying zoning district.

(14) A Solar Energy System shall not be constructed until a building permit has been approved and issued. Construction shall conform to the extent applicable, to the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. The design of the Solar Energy System shall conform to applicable industry standards. The Applicant shall submit certificates of design compliance obtained by the equipment manufacturers from a certifying organization and any such design shall be certified by an Engineer registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
