Two buildings in the Northampton Area School district held DARE graduation ceremonies last week, Siegfried Elementary and Moore Elementary. The DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program is a world-wide effort that teaches kids the necessary skills to avoid drug and alcohol use as well as involvement in bullying, gangs and violence. The program is led by police officers in the classrooms and is taught to the 6th grade classes at Moore and
Siegfried. The graduation ceremony at Siegfried was held last Thursday. May 24. Over one hundred parents and family members came out to witness the graduation. The DARE program was taught by borough police Chief Ronald Morey along with sixth grade teacher Gary Pierzga. Mayor Reenock and Judge Giordano were also at the assembly. The final piece of the DARE program for the students in class is to write an essay about what DARE means to them. While all students did a fantastic job, the following
students were chosen as best among their peers at Siegfried: Lily Altomare, Olivia Saylor, Sara Sandoval, Billie Kantner, Logan Ninos and Zachary Vilkauskas. Part of Zachary’s essay noted the amount of poisons in cigarettes, “knowing that there are more than 200 poisons in cigarettes will keep me smoke free forever” he said. One student at Siegfried elementary, Rebecca Nothstein, has been accepted into Camp Cadet for the summer and will begin learning about Continued on page 7

The students and faculty at Moore Elementary School celebrated the success of the students in their first full year utilizing the school wide positive behavior support program, called Moore Pride. The positive behavior program is used district wide to encourage students to behave appropriately and act responsibly. Each building in the district has their own
version of the program and Moore encourages students to “Be Ready, Be Responsible, Be Respectful and Be Safe.” The students who show these
criteria while at school are given paw print tickets from their teachers. The tickets Continued on page 7

the Fence GabGab OverOver the Fence by Pete G. Ossip by Pete G. Ossip
Memorial Day was a hot and humid one, sunny all the way, and that was great as we celebrated and remembered all those servicemen and women who have given their lives across the nation to keep us free. Northampton and Nazareth had the biggest celebrations around here, with parades and remembering the veterans with engraved bricks. Thanks to the nice weather, the crowds were big. . . . That’s a great project the Legion is running, having gifts sent to our men and women in the armed forces overseas. This Thursday, May 31st is the last day folks can drop off what they have in the way of personal hygiene items down at the Legion post home in town. They’ll also take in cash, so do your bit, folks, and let’s show our support for the troops. . . .You know that bear that was caught first over in Lehigh County? I hear it’s been caught three times since, down in Montgomery County and two other counties that are far apart. He knows how to get around, but he better not go down in Easton, or he’ll be a goner. They have a big territory, and when they’re looking for food, they’ll take it where they can get it. Ye Ed saw a documenta-
ry down in Georgia the other day that said bears can run 35 miles an hour! Best thing to do is stay away from them thar bars! . . . Better keep your gas tank full. There’s plenty of things going on this Saturday and Sunday – all the way from Kreidersville to Stockertown. . . .Next Monday is graduation for Nazareth, and on Friday it will be Northampton High School’s turn, both of them down at Stabler Arena of Lehigh University.Ye Ed tells me he was at a grandson’s graduation last Friday in a Methodist church down in Georgia that has seats for 10,000 people! . . . .Phillies are doing better, even with all their injuries. Can’t say the same for the Braves, though. Their big hitters are all hurting one way or the other and they’ve lost seven in a row. Washington finally lost a game, so the Phillies and Braves are now tied for fourth. Tha NL East race sure has been close. . . . Haven’t been down to the Sands yet to check out the casino. Might just do that when I go down to the business showcase that area chambers of commerce are having down there this Thursday. . . .Have a nice weekend, and stay cool. Summertime is upon us!
Splendid!

Take me out to the ball game, Take me out to the crowd, Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack, I don’t care if I ever get back, So it’s root-rootroot for the home team, If they don’t win it’s a shame, For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out at the old ball game. Sing it aloud. May might bring us May flowers but in Boyertown, it’s baseball season. Fifteen hundred children marched to the beat of Take Me out to the Ballgame to kick off baseball in their community. I liken the game of baseball to the game of relationships. Relationships sometimes are taken for granted. You cannot be a successful business owner, a successful business leader or a successful non-profit with out strong, solid relationships. First Base- you just met and it feels like a connection might be there. You both would like to get to know each other better and learn about what you both do for a living. Second Base - the relationship solidifies and you are ready to refer, support each other and be ambassadors for each other’s businesses.
Need information regarding one of Good Shepherd’s physical rehabilitation programs or services? Looking for a convenient Good Shepherd location for your upcoming outpatient physical therapy? Want to find the time and date of a Good Shepherd support group meeting? Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network recently re-launched a live information line that answers these questions and more. The new tollfree number is 1-888-44-REHAB (1-888-447-3422) and is operational 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). This number is a resource for Good Shepherd’s current and prospective patients and clients and the general public. Knowledgeable call center representatives provide answers to questions about inpatient and outpatient postacute care programs and physician services. They also provide information about and directions to Good Shepherd’s facilities. Good Shepherd information is also available to the public by emailing callcenter@gsrh. org.
Third Base - heading towards home plate and the relationship is strong and could even flow into a social relationship and the mutual respect blossoms. Home Run-it’s official the trust is incredible, you are working together and mutually benefiting from each other and can’t wait to refer one another. It’s all about trust and trust is most likely the most important piece of a solid business relationship. Did you know-the average person has 10 people in their lives who love them, trust them and will carry their message (good or bad) without even trying, how about you leverage those 10 folks in your life. I don’t know about you but I could sure go for some peanuts and crackerjack right about now!!

Rails-to-Trails D&L Trail Survey
The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy has launched a six-month survey of D&L Trail users that will help determine trail user characteristics and attitudes and the financial impact of trail users on local businesses. The survey was made possible through a $10,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). Boxes containing the survey a postage-paid self-mailer – are being installed at major trailheads along the D&L Trail. Trail users are encouraged to fill out a survey and mail it the Rails-toTrails Conservancy headquarters in Washington, DC. Data from the surveys will be analyzed by staff in the Conservancy’s Northeast Regional Office. A final report will be compiled and distributed in 2013. The D&L Trail User Survey is the seventh in a series of user surveys being done on Pennsylvania trails. “We are trying to cover all the geographic zones of the state in order to compile a wide range of comparable data and establish a baseline of information for trailside communities who work so hard to build and maintain their trails,” said Patricia Tomes, Program Manager for the Northeast Regional Office. “The surveys provide valuable information for each trail manager, and are very useful tools for local community planning as well as for nearby communities who are trying to build support for trail construction and maintenance.” The Conservancy’s most recent survey was on the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail and Conewago Recreational Trail in Lancaster County, which have a combined total of 20.5 miles. The survey documented more than 125,000 annual who had an economic impact of $1.3 million to local businesses. The D&L Trail is the spine of the five-county Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. Using a combination of railsto-trails and canal towpaths, the

AP Scholar Plaque Dedication By Alice Wanamaker The Home News
A project many years in the making was finally unveiled and dedicated last Thursday at Northampton Area High School. The Advanced Placement Students who have or who will graduate from Northampton High School have been recognized with a nameplate on the plaques
that now hang in the hallway of the high school. The plaques were funded by the National Honor Society Powder Puff Football game against Catty. Since the program began in the high school in 1991, over 160 students have achieved AP Scholar Status. The levels of achievement and requirements include; AP Scholar:
Granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams, AP Scholar with Honor: Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams, AP Scholar with Distinction: Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams and National AP Scholar: Granted to students in the United States who receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams. The class of 2012 will graduate John Veiszlemlein, Valedictorian and Nationally recognized AP National Scholar. John is among only eight other students who have graduated from Northampton to achieve this level or recognition. Superintendent Kovalchik was at the dedication ceremony and noted that the achievement of these students is not something that happens overnight. He said the curriculum
Know The Weather
What makes big hail- stones and why does hail fall during a thunderstorm? Hail is usually formed in thunderheads because these storm clouds contain very strong updrafts and downdrafts. Rain droplets begin to fall, are caught by an updraft and suddenly carried to an altitude where the temperature is below freezing. The rain droplets freeze into hail. They fall again, picking up moisture as they reenter the rain area, but are sent aloft by another updraft where the moisture added since the first freeze is frozen to the center core. The process of fall and ascent is sometimes carried on several times, the hailstones growing larger with each trip upward. The stronger the up- draft in the thunderhead, the larger hail is likely to be, since strong winds are required to lift big hailstones.
Weekend Forecast - Northampton County
The forecast for this weekend will see milder temperatures than what the beginning of the week brought. Thursday will be mainly sunny with a high of 75. Friday will be partly sunny with a high of 75 and Saturday will bring showers and a high of 75. The extended forecast is calling for partly sunny skies and a high of 71 on Sunday and next week will start of at 79 degrees and partly sunny.

NAZARETH BORO – LOWER NAZARETH TP. – UPPER NAZARETH TP. – BUSHKILL TP.
Volunteers wanted to establish Garden for Nazareth Food Bank Organizers assisting the Nazareth Area Food Bank are the first volunteers to plan, develop, and harvest fresh vegetables in a new garden plot at Delaware & S. Main St., across from the food bank building in Nazareth. Essroc Cement Co. is graciously allowing volunteers for the food bank to use this property for development of a garden in which fresh vegetables will be grown for distribution to the food bank clients who live within the Nazareth Area School District. The food bank serves some 300 families and individuals in the district each month, with much of the food generously donated by local persons in the community, along with churches, schools, busi-
nesses and organizations. Anyone with an interest in gardening or wanting to learn more about growing fresh vegetables is encouraged to participate. The success of this project will in large be up to the willingness of the community to act as volunteers to develop and cultivate the garden. The volunteer contingent hopes that the enthusiasm expressed about this project will carry it through to its fruition. The first work day will be on Saturday, June 2 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please contact Les Little at 610-759-6414 for more information or to sign up. He and the volunteers already on board are hoping to hear from more of the public.
Eagles Perch 2012 Prom Court
King & Queen This year the Nazareth students enjoyed prom on Friday at 5pm at the Ice Palace in Bethlehem. This year's prom court included: Taylor Hooper, Adam Smith, Katie Fritchman, Emily Werley, Brooke Papciak, Matthew Rohn, Olivia Correll, Adam Bridgeforth, Ryan Skerchak and Joey Walsh. On Friday, Joey Walsh was crowned King and Emily Werley was crowned Queen! They were asked what being Queen/King meant to them. Emily Werley – “To be voted prom queen was actually really unexpected and a pretty big honor. It’s nice to know that my classmates have a positive opinion about me, and I hope they realize the feeling is mutual. It was a really great night with truly awesome people.” Joey Walsh – “Thank you! I'm in the process of trying to get a picture but I'm not sure if I can get one. And being named prom king means to me that I am a friendly and well-liked person. It isn't just a vote from your direct group of friends, it is a school wide vote. Which means even though I may not talk to everyone in the high school on a regular basis, when I do I am courteous to each of them and they respect me for that.”

Pastor, Calvary Evangelical United Methodist Church, Tamaqua
Keepers of the Flame Is Memorial Day important to you? Perhaps it is just another vacation day to be absent from work or out of school. Do you actually remember anyone fondly on this day that has gone on to their Heavenly Home before you? What gives real meaning to this national holiday? Memorial Day ought to be a time for remembering family, friends, loved ones, and armed forces personnel who have died and left us with only memories. These silent ones are not easily forgotten. This is a day set aside for remembrance and honor. Some even feel it should be a time for a reenactment of our historical heritage. We could think of the Pilgrims who came as colonists in search of religious freedom. We could remember the brave men who signed the Declaration of Independence and framed the Constitution as expressions of God’s gift of freedom from oppression and anarchy. We could be challenged by the republic form of government which allows the citizens the privilege of voicing their concerns and electing leaders. Most of us are reminded of the sacrifice and selfless giving of men and women in uniform who gave their lives for these very freedoms. Ours is a costly heritage and must not be treated lightly. The foundation of our national heritage is Christian faith. Ben Franklin expressed: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters.” He then summed it up: “Whoever shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.” We might even remember God’s historical actions for us as recorded within the Bible and the church’s history. It tells about the transforming Divine grace at work within a person’s life. By accepting Christ’s birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension we become persons of value. Jesus Christ living in a human heart gives our life day to day value and meaning. Believers are invited to partner with God as Keepers of the Flame. We remember and revere persons from the past while living in the present. The NT Writer reminds us we are “encircled by a great cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 11: 1-4). We must not neglect opportunities to remember and be thankful for our families, our freedoms, our national heritage, and the spiritual foundations passed to us. Let us not only remember them and but pass them on. This is how we become “Keepers of the Flame.”

Cement Worker Of Month By ED PANY
Alan S. Kohler was born in the historic Haff Hospital in Northampton. He attended Moore Township Elementary School graduating from Northampton High School in 1971 with a Vocational Tech major as a machinist. Alan was then hired by Fermentation Design in Bethlehem as a machinist. In 1974 he began his career as a cement worker at Keystone Cement. His long and rewarding 38 years started in the labor department and progressed into many other positions; a forklift operator in the Pack house, he loaded an endless convoy of trucks. He said, “We were always busy, times were good, my supervisors were two Northampton men, Jimmy Delucia and Bobby Heist. I also worked in the Grinding Mills, crane operator and learned welding on the repair gang.” After working in a variety of jobs, Mr. Kohler took his skills to the quarry where presently he is a senior employee. As a utility man his responsibilities are multi-tasked, maintenance, welding, burning, equipment operation, including trucks, loaders and bulldozers. The quarry team is a close knit group which includes Supervisor Paul Golden, Steve Lalik, Joe Duch, Joe Uhnak, Barry Srogi, Keith Fogel, Jim Mills, Ray Hoch, Alan Kohler and mechanic Frank
Guys who work together as a team. The cement industry has been good to us and we hope the future will be bright.” Mr. Kohler is a friendly, humble and dedicated employee. He is married to the former Joan Janders. They reside in Northampton. He is an avid golfer and Pittsburgh Steeler fan. It was a pleasure to interview Mr. Kohler. We wish Alan and all my friends at Keystone a safe 2012. They produce a product that has helped build America. The Home News is proud to honor a local cement worker each month.

Last year the hearty quarry crew moved 900,000 ton of stone. The quarry operates through all types of weather from blistering hot summers to freezing winters. Alan reflects, “Safety is stressed “Big Time.” There are Friday safety meetings to keep us alert and prevent accidents. We also are inspected by state and federal regulatory agencies! The quarry has added new equipment and storage areas to better serve Keystone’s modern plant which changed it’s production from a wet to dry process.

Domestic Violence; Hits Ex-wife with Car
Colonial Regional Police responded to the parking lot of the Wegmans store in Hanover Township on May 15 at 7:33 p.m. for a domestic violence report. On arrival, Elizabeth Brandt told police that she met her ex-husband, Brant W. Kloiber, 30, there to discuss a custody arrangement for their 4-year-old daughter. The two started to argue over the fact that Kloiber’s driver’s license was suspended and that he should not be driving. Ms. Brandt told police that when she walked behind the car to take a picture of the license plate, Kloiber told her to move or he would hit her with the car. He then backed the car up, hitting her in the knees and forcing her out on to the trafficeway of the parking lot. Witnesses at the scene told police that Kloiber backed up quickly, almost hitting their car and another one in the parking lot, before he fled the scene. Kloiber was charged with recklessly endangering another person and multiple traffic offenses. A warrant was obtained and served on Kloiber the next day after he turned himself in.
