Moore Twsp. family of Five displaced by fire

By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

Fire, smoke and water damage destroyed the contents of the home of Joe and Jen Gibbs on Monday, Oct. 24. The family of five lived at 496 Monocacy Dr., Bath, in Moore Twp. The Gibbs family lost everything in the fire that started around 9 a.m.

Family and friends are trying to pull together donations of clothing, money or gift cards to help them get back on their feet. With the family staying in a hotel for a while they are looking for restaurant gift cards as well as grocery store gift cards such as Ahart’s or Giant, and Walmart gift cards to help the family replace things that

were lost.. They will need to rebuild and replace the entire contents of their home in the near future, so any donations towards that would help.

Joe and Jen, and their children, Curtis, Megan and Kiersten were not home when the fire started. Their cat made it out of the home, unfortunately their dog did not.

The children are ages 2, 12 and 10.

For more information on how you can help or to make a donation, please contact Dave and Deb Gantz (610) 837-4144 No other information on cause of the fire was available from the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co., which responded.

In the wake of a zoning board decision affirming the ruling last year by the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors that a middle school would be allowable on former agriculturally zoned land, the Northampton Area School Board on Monday heard four options for use of land in the borough on which such a school could be built.

The East Allen ZHB last Tuesday voted to okay the zoning change approved by the supervisors as a conditional use. However, several residents of the township have protested the location of the school on the 90-acre parcel at the intersection of Seemsville Rd. & Nor-Bath

Blvd. because of traffic conditions. They may still appeal the ZHB ruling in Northampton County Court.

At Monday’s school board meeting, Supt. Joseph Kovalchik said the decision by the ZHB and supervisors gives the school district the “ability to construct a school at the site.” But he added that because of possible litigation “we’re not quite sure about the East Allen site.”

Now, also, is the possibility that the abandoned Northampton Campus of Bethlehem Vocational-Technical School could be an alternative choice. Kovalchik said the administration and board are researching the possibility of purchasing the building and the land around it.

He said the board and administration need to look to the future. “The 329 site is still important, for who knows what will happen down the road.

We still have to be cognizant of it,” he said.

Monday night, Chris Haller and Arif Aziel of D’Huy Engineering presented four options for building a middle school in Northampton. Pros and cons for all four options were discussed by the board and persons in the audience.

The options were as follows for building a new middle school: (1) On former Vo-Tech property (2) On the upper athletic fields Continued on page 13

NASD schools trick or treat For America’s Toothfairy

On Friday, Oct. 21, Moore Elementary School kicked off the Trick or Treat for America’s Toothfairy, as this Halloween, the Northampton Area School District is partnering with the National Children’s Oral Health Foundation (NCOHF) to raise money for children in need of oral health care. It is during the first annual Trick

or Treat for America’s Toothfairy campaign.

Mrs. Beth Arcury, dental hygienist of the school district, who organized the entire event locally, said, “We’re excited to be involved with this cause and to help raise money to treat and prevent severe childhood tooth decay. Halloween is the perfect time to

remind children and adults of the importance of oral health care.”

One hundred percent of the money raised will provide dental care and education to children in underserved populations. Faculty and staff at Moore, George Wolf, LeContinued on page 4

Letters from our Readers Saving Open Space In Moore Township To the Editor: As the Northampton County budget is now up for review, we, the residents, of Northampton County should insist that full funding for the Open Space Program be retained at the full .5 mil of tax that County Executive John Stoffa set up in 2007, as a Pay As You Go Plan for the Open Space Program. That .5 mil of tax generates approximately $3.7 million of funds each year to preserve farmland, natural areas and county/municipal parks.

Each budget year it is a fight to see if this money will be set aside for Open Space or if it will be used by the County Council to plug in other deficit problems in the budget.

I believe that it is now time to fund this program on a permanent basis with a set amount of money going to the Open Space Program every year. Doing this will allow the farmers who want to preserve their farms, the conservancies that work with preserving natural areas and the park commissions know that funding will be there to count on and hopefully allow more people to join in the program in preserving our very vital

and natural resources of the county.

In addition to county funding, several municipalities have established their own EIT (Earned Income Tax) programs to put aside monies to preserve and protect farmland and natural areas.

It was put to a vote in these townships and this is what the people wanted and what was important to them. These townships include Williams, Bushkill, Upper Mt. Bethel, Lower Saucon, Lower Mt. Bethel, Plainfield and Moore.

In 2011, the county initiated a County Farmland Partnership Program with these municipalities so that working together townships and the county could preserve even more farms.

The people of Northampton County and the townships voted overwhelmingly for the Open Space program.

“WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?” It is because they are forward looking people, looking to the future and future generations to preserve the quality of life we now enjoy, to preserve clean air and water, to preserve our wetlands, streams, forests, farmlands, and greenways and accessible food supplies.

Opinion Death of a Bad Dude

By Paul G. Kengor In the 1980s, I was an unrefined adolescent from bluecollar Butler, Pennsylvania.

I knew nothing and cared nothing about politics. I had no idea if I was a conservative or liberal, Democrat or Republican, or much of anything else. But I knew one thing: Moammar Kaddafi was a bad dude. This was expressed in a rather unsophisticated way by the bumpersticker affixed to my white Chevy Chevette, which declared simply and succinctly: “Kaddafi Sucks.”

Yep, Moammar Kaddafi was a bad dude. And now, three decades later, and some 40-plus years after coming to power, he is gone, dispatched to the ash-heap of history with other murderous terrorists and dictators: Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Pol Pot, Mao Tse-Tung, Joe Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Lenin.

I will not here add to reports of how Kaddafi met his final fate, but I would like to share a valuable piece of information that was revealed to me by Bill Clark, Ronald Reagan’s right-hand man and national security adviser when Kaddafi was ramping up in the 1980s.

It was early 1981. President Reagan had just been inaugurated. Alexandre de Marenches, the director of

France’s external intelligence agency, SDECE, came to the White House with a highly sensitive plan to remove Kaddafi. The plan was to assassinate the Libyan dictator during a parade, by use of an explosive device placed near the reviewing stand. “Our answer,” said Clark, “was that we understood their feelings toward the man, but we don’t do assassinations.”

That was because there was an executive order banning assassinations, first signed by President Gerald Ford and supported by President Carter. The Reagan team had no intention of violating the order as one of the first acts of the new administration.

Intelligence sources I consulted confirmed Clark’s recollection of de Marenches’ request. “He came over to the U.S., probably in early February 1981,” said one source, a high-level CIA “operations” person. “His interlocutor was Vice President Bush. The purpose of the visit was to discuss the removal of Kaddafi. He came to try to get us involved operationally in the plan….

He wanted not just our moral or political support but to get us involved in the actual operation.”

This same source pointed to the “Safari Club,” which was a group of countries—France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Continued on page 13

THE HOME NEWS

Oct. 27-Nov. 2, 2011

Dear Moore Township Voter Six years ago, as a candidate for Supervisor of Moore Township, the issues that I raised when I asked for your vote included: ·Your right to expect your township government to spend your tax dollars wisely and effectively; ·The preservation of the rural atmosphere of our township; ·Dealing with issues and complaints when they occur, rather than during an election year; ·The need for a Roadmaster who is courteous and available when working with our road problems.

During the past six years, I have worked hard to live up to your trust in me. You have the right to know if I measured up to the promises that I made to you.

Spending Our Tax dOllarS WiSely ·I’m happy to report that, financially, we are in decent shape. This is the first year in the last six years that we should go into the new year with enough money to start the year, according to the new Secretary-Treasurer. In the past the former Secretary-Treasurer would take out TAX-ANTICIPATION LOANS. In 2006 $150,000.00. 2007 - $200,000.00. 2009 - $300,025.00. Because the Township was nearly broke, you, the tax payer had to pay back the loans in the same year, plus the interest on each of the loans. ·Despite the economy and the serious impact on the revenues that we collect, I can report that we have the second lowest tax rate in Northampton County. We have been able to stretch your hard-earned tax dollars, doing far more than most townships and for far less. As your supervisor, I personally looked for measures that would save money. For instance: ·I do not accept the Blue Cross/Blue Shield benefits that are available to all supervisors under the Second Class Township Code. This has saved the township over $100,000 during my six year term. I am the only full time employee of the township not accepting these benefits. Furthermore, I know of no other supervisor past or present who has declined to receive Blue Cross/Blue Shield, unlike the contract employees of the township who justly receive this benefit. ·I found equipment and vehicles on the township’s insurance policies which were not part of our fleet for many years. ·I also found that over-payments were made on vehicles and general bills, and I was able to have these refunded to the township. ·I was able to convince Chapman Borough to pay their fair share of workman’s compensation to cover the services of the Klecknersville Rangers. This was a problem that existed for many years, before my term in office. ·In the past, it was commonplace to use our engineering firm to calculate our road projects. As roadmaster, I started to use our Penn Dot representative to assist the township when needed. This saves the township thousands of dollars every time we use them. · I must also point out that I voted against the 1 mill tax increase that was passed in December. I am a fiscally conservative Democrat and I believe that tax increases should be enacted only in small amounts and as a last resort.

These are just a few of the wasteful uses of your hard earned tax dollars the former Secretary – Treasurer let happen. In 2010 we began to correct these poor practices; our current supervisors do not rely on township secretaries to submit their reports and do not believe an 8-4 position best serves the needs of you the citizens of our township. preSerVing Our FarMland and Open SpaCe In 2005, when I ran for supervisor, I stated we needed to rewrite our zoning laws to help preserve our rural character. This promise has become a reality. I am pleased to report that, with the help of many volunteers, our zoning laws have changed and now reflect our community’s goal to preserve our farmlands and open space. ·In 2006, during my term in office, the supervisors created the Farm Preservation Board to help carry our goals. I believe this action reflects my own long-time commitment to the preservation of our rural character. ·In 2009, we created the Environmental Advisory Council, a group of talented volunteers who advise the supervisors on environmental issues. With the help of the EAC, I am proud that we passed an open space plan which enabled the township to partner with the County. As a result, we were able to purchase the development rights to some of the farms in the township. In addition, as a result of this partnership, Moore Township netted an extra $358,000 dollars to put towards farmland preservation. I remain strongly committed to this preservation and promise to support these efforts in the future. dealing WiTH iSSueS THaT COnCern yOu As Moore Township Supervisor, I have been an advocate for issues that concern you, including defeating plans by PPL to construct unsightly power lines and towers in our township. When two local congregations requested lighted signs for their churches, I supported their efforts.

I work with the Moore Township Athletic Association to make our recreation center a safe place for the kids, while balancing the budget to provide other essential services. Despite our low tax millage, we have a full time police force, recreational facilities, a farm preservation program, and a successful, free yard waste program.

After seeing the troubles faced by our neighbor township of Lehigh and the Borough of Chapman, I have felt the need to discuss the concerns of central sewage and determine what impact it would have on our community. I feel it is essential to prepare for, rather than be forced to react or over react to these potential threats to the quality of our township. a rOadMaSTer WHO iS COurTeOuS and aVailaBle As Roadmaster, I strive to be available and to provide courteous service when dealing with road problems. With over 100 miles of township roads to care for, road maintenance is a major part of our budget. During the past five years, we have blacktopped many roads and we have put in thousands of feet of drainage pipes. There are many more projects that I would like to see accomplished, but I am aware that we must still work within our budget.

One of the first questions that I asked the residents of Moore Township was, “Do you want a Supervisor/Roadmaster available five days a week? I found that I must be available seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. I have taken hundreds of calls from the police and the 911 center over the last five plus years, day and night. I’ve gone out during snow and icy conditions to deal with fallen trees or downed stop signs. I have gone out to remove dead deer, skunks, dogs, and cats. I have picked up all sorts of garbage, tires, jugs of drain oil, and old appliances, many times on my own time with my own truck. This is why I signed on - to serve you, the residents of Moore Township.

Six years ago, I was honored when you supported me in my first bid for the position of Moore Township Supervisor. It has been a privilege to serve you and, if I am re-elected, I will continue to serve you with integrity.

Sincerely,

Maynard S. Campbell Democratic Candidate for Moore Township Supervisor Please remember to vote on November 8, 2011 Paid for By the Friends of Maynard S. Campbell

The annual Christmas House Tour of the Gov. Wolf Historical Society will be on Dec. 3 and 4. This is a description given by one of the home owners.

Our home was built in the early 1800’s. It was originally a rubble stone farmhouse, but the stone was hidden with stucco when we purchased it in 1979. Since then, an 80 year old kitchen addition was torn off and a kitchen / dining room with a family room, office, and bathroom were added on the ground floor. The stucco was removed, and the old portion of the home was sandblasted and re-pointed so that the original stone exterior was exposed and restored.

County and township monies are available for 2012 for preservation of farms that qualify.

More information is available at the County Farmland Preservation Office or at the Moore Township office.

Protection of land is not a simple process but people have overwhelmingly voted to raise public money for land preservation. Land preservation is an investment in your community that will appreciate over time.

This program has been good for Moore Township.

Now is the time for landowners wishing to preserve farmland to get more information and submit their applications.

COMBAT✷ ✷ ✷ The time is coming when combat sports, fighting in the ring, traditional boxing and other forms of physical combat, will be phased out or be less violent.

The sight of two boxers hitting each other until one is knocked unconscious, possibly with lifetime injuries, is still around, probably will be for some time. But this is not

sport--it’s fighting.

Of course this draws a big audience, as does the modern so called sport of men, even women, fighting in the ring, kicking and wrestling to the floor. This isn’t sport either, but fighting.

We have come a long way from huge crowds in Roman times watching men fighting bulls until their death--also seen then as sport. But there is still a long way to go.

Boxing gloves should be larger and fights won on points scored not physical damage. Rules on physical battling in the ring should be updated to prevent lifelong injuries.

These more civilized advances in sports may be far into the future. But more Americans should be thinking about them.

Outdoors :: By “Hobby”

NCJCS Director Relates How People Valued Outdoors More in Past Northampton County Junior Conservation School held its annual season-ending ceremony this past Friday at Blue Mountain Fish & Game in Danielsville. It had been delayed because of conflicting dates, but the students, staff and parents and siblings got together finally.

Director Andy Curtis showed power point slides he put together on “Conservation Education – How the Times, and the Needs, Have Changed”.

He told of his own life experiences, growing up on a Montgomery County farm, virtually raised by his grandparents as his parents worked long hours as a nurse and policeman; how he and other grandsons planted 70,000 tomato plants; used an outhouse when there was no indoor toilet; bathed in a tub because there was no shower; and he and his cousins, brothers and sisters spent a great deal of time playing in the outdoors, coming home at dusk in time for dinner.

And he told how he got paddled good by a neighbor when he pulled a prank, got it again by his grandparents, and again by his parents.

Curtis advised reading the book, “Last Child in the Woods” on how children spent their time more in the outdoors. They had no TV, cell phones, facebook, or any of the technology of today. They made do with things of Nature, and the grandparents knew what the Depression

ANDY CURTIS was, for they lived with very little, much worse than it is today. They lived in the outdoors.

Today, young people, unfortunately, are “growing up inside”.

Open space money now goes a lot to skate parks, or places where signs say “no walking dogs”, “no running”, no roller skating”.

The junior conservation school forces kids to expand their horizons, early on makes them feel uncomfortable, but they learn to work together with action socialization experiences; to be aware of their surroundings in the woods and waters.

He said they pick up litter, and learn the value of hunting and fishing, understand science, contrary to those who look at hunting from an emotional standpoint – hurting poor Bambi. They learn that food doesn’t come from grocery stores, but from the soil and the sunlight, natural resources. Likewise, heat doesn’t just come from a furnace.

Curtis explained to the students and the parents that there’s a difference between cement and concrete. This Lehigh Valley is the biggest producer of cement in the world. To make concrete, cement is mixed with aggregate and water.

He also noted that the school helps teach self-control, how to figure out things, learning dedication and working together.

But there remains the problem of recruitment of students today. The school founders used to attend outdoors shows, and put up displays, and it was easy to get kids. Today it’s a lot tougher, and Curtis challenged those in the audience to come up with new ideas; go to conferences and meetings and get an education from what they observe. “Convey our mission, become involved in events, go to conferences, and get ideas,” he concluded.

Next July will be the 31st year of NCJCS. Hopefully, there will be 35 students as in the past, and not have to struggle to reach even 20 boys and girls 13 to 17 years of age.

Campbell Seeks Re-election as Moore supervisor

Moore Township Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, and life-long resident Maynard Campbell will be on the ballot next month for reelection of the seat in Moore Township.

Campbell will be on the ballot along with two other candidates Dave Tashner and Rodney Jarinko.

Maynard Campbell, Democrat, is running to maintain the position in Moore Township and believes that he and his fellow Supervisors as well as Treasurer/Secretary Dick Gable have done a great job for the township residents and the finances. Maynard said that the Supervisors are not planning tax increases in 2012 “Mr. Gable is doing a great job watching the finances, he has things under control” he said recently.

Also noting that the supervisors have secured more grant funding for the township in the last two years than he can ever remember.

Campbell wants to continue the work that is already in progress. He said there are road maintenance projects

currently underway or in the works that he wants to see to completion. He has worked with Representative Marcia Hahn to oppose the Roseland PPL power lines and wants to continue to “go to bat” for the residents of the township.

Campbell also wishes to continue to work with the EAC to help preserve farmland in the township.

Campbell, who also serves on the road crew for the second class township, said that if he is reelected the township will not need to spend money on additional employees for the road crew in

HEY MOORE TOWNSHIP! Better get ready, there’s a train a comin’.

You don’t need no ticket, you just get on board...

FINANCES In my opinion, Moore Township is in financial trouble, which can be resolved with sound fiscal responsibility and wiser spending.. We do not need to raise taxes!

TRUST In my considered opinion, the Trust between our residents and the Board of Supervisors has weakened. It needs to be restored and strengthened with truth and good faith by government. The people own Moore Township, not the Supervisors, and need to take a more active role in their government.

TRUTH By their own admission both of my opponents are seeking six year full-time jobs with good pay and excellent benefits, as “working Moore Township supervisors”. I am not. I will work as a NON-PAID VOLUNTEER as the Board of Supervisors chooses. I have the PASSION and INSPIRATION, as well as the TIME! I truly CARE about Moore Township and most certainly our future.

I harbor no un-forgiveness or any personal vendettas toward anyone.

DEDICATION I was able to save the township thousands of dollars by not accepting medical or prescription benefits (Capital Blue Cross) for approximately twenty four years. I took computer work home on a regular basis with no compensation for my time or expenses, as well as, attending evening meetings, as an example: four, at various locations, to argue against the PPL Electric Utilities proposed Susquehanna-Roseland power line running through Moore Township as a volunteer at no cost. (There were many others over the years.) An open office equals open records.

Cement Worker Of Month

Tony Puglia

ESSROC, Nazareth

By ED PANY Mr. Tony Puglia was reared in Hackensack, N.J. graduating from East Rutherford High School where he played football, basketball and baseball. His former basketball coach is a current sports celebrity. Tony said, “Dick Vitale, the current ESPN announcer, was our 6th grade teacher and basketball coach; he led us to two state championships. He taught us to focus and stressed teamwork which has become a lifetime value for me.”

Tony earned a degree from Fairleigh-Dickinson University at Teaneck, N.J. He also gained another degree in Marine Science from Cape Fear Institute in N.C. Before his cement career, he was employed by the West Sail Boat Corp. in N.C. and RCA as a chemist on a U.S. Navy base in the Bahamas.

Mr. Puglia started his cement journey with Ideal Cement in N.C. as a production supervisor. When the plant closed, he transferred to Louisville Cement which would later become Coplay Cement and the present day ESSROC working as a production supervisor and process engineer at their Speed Indiana Facility. While there he added to his educational resume with a business degree from Indiana University.

He said, “I was assigned to the position of staff process engineer at our Nazareth corporate office coordinating efforts at seven ESSROC plants striving to have our plants operate at an optimum and safe level. I’m on the road

about 75% of the time working on field and efficiency studies.”

Today, Tony works closely with manager Jack MacKellar, Tony Bellucci, Pat Reed and six maintenance planners as far as Puerto Rico, all fine men. I asked him about changes he has witnessed.

He replied, “Plants are much larger producing more than one million tons, they are more efficient, less labor intensive and work hard to meet environmental regulations and maintain jobs facing foreign competition.

Mr. Puglia is an amiable, friendly gentleman who has a good working relationship with fellow employees. He said, “I enjoy working with my co-workers in meeting the daily challenges we face in the industry. He is presently working with an Advanced Computer System which will help ESSROC work consistently across all lines of business. He is the current corporate maintenance engineer.

Tony has been married to the former Judy Bell for 23 years; she is a well known local instructor of Yoga. They are proud of daughter Lana who has served with the U.S. Navy, and son Vincent. Tony has multiple interests including surfing, a certified diver, pottery making and woodworking.

The friendly and interesting family reside in Moore Township. I wish continued success to Mr. Puglia and all my friends at ESSROC who proudly market the historic Saylor brand of Cement.

The Home News is proud to honor and recognize a local cement worker each month.

Nazareth school earns national Honor for hunger-fighting work The Nazareth Area Intermediate School in Nazareth recently received a National School of Distinction status from the Schools Fight Hunger program. Fewer than 2,000 schools nationwide earned this level of distinction in the 2010-2011 school year.

The National School of Distinction status is awarded to schools that demonstrate notable enthusiasm, creativity or dedication in getting involved with the hunger cause. Whether it’s activating students around a schoolwide food drive, organizing volunteers for a local pantry or food bank or cultivating a school garden to provide fresh produce for the cause, schools all across the country

have been playing a larger and larger role in helping to fight hunger nationwide “The students, staff and families of our School of Distinction schools should be very proud of their efforts and the impact they’re making on the hunger cause,” points out Schools Fight Hunger founder, Tim Sullivan. Of course, the short-term results are impressive, but we also love to see how our next generation of leaders are getting active in their communities at such a young age.” In a day when so much news about our kids and our schools seems so negative, these schools and these students are well worth celebrating.”

Opinion Continued from page 2 and the Shah’s Iran—that had

banded together for two primary purposes: 1) to fight the spread of Soviet communism in Africa; and 2) to counter Kaddafi, particularly his adventures in neighboring Chad. The group was formed by intelligence ministers in the mid-1970s, and de Marenches was its catalyst.

The group was appalled by America’s unwillingness to no longer stand up to the Soviets; it was post-Watergate, post-Vietnam, Americans had elected an incredibly liberal Congress, and Jimmy Carter was president. The Club sought to fill the vacuum.

De Marenches’ offer against Kaddafi was consistent with PA003267

the concerns of the Safari Club.

As an indication of the confidential nature of his overture, de Marenches did not discuss his offer to the Reagan administration in either of his 1986 and 1992 books.

But he did note yet another intention to kill Kaddafi: He said that on March 1, 1978, Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat had asked de Marenches for help in “disposing of him [Kaddafi] physically.”

Think of the irony here, and how tragically history unfolds: It would be Sadat who was assassinated in 1981—on October 6, 1981. He was killed at a reviewing stand at a parade, shot by Islamists for his “crime” of making peace with Israel.

While Sadat died, Kaddafi was permitted to live. Sadat made peace. Kaddafi left a trail of blood and violence.

And here’s another irony still: Just weeks after de Marenches’ offer to Reagan to assassinate Kaddafi, Reagan was shot, on March 30, 1981, and nearly bled to death.

In retrospect, should President Reagan have agreed to the French request to take out Kaddafi? A lot of innocent lives would have been spared.

Terrorist attacks from Lockerbie, Scotland to the Mediterranean would have been averted.

Alas, such action by Reagan would indeed have been illegal, and was not the mission or foreign-policy plan of his incoming administration.

Had Reagan started his presidency by violating an executive order on assassinations, liberals in that post-Watergate/post-Vietnam Congress would have run him out of town with impeachment papers before his historic twoterm takedown of the Evil Empire could commence.

Reagan did what he could— or couldn’t.

Nonetheless, this is a very intriguing tale of what happens behind the scenes— and what might have been.

The death of Kaddafi had to wait—it had to wait a long, painful 30 years. Only now, finally, this bad dude is gone.

Get to Know Jesus The story is told of an old man who lived deep in the mountains of colorado. When he died, distant relatives came from the city to collect his valuables. Upon arriving, all they saw was an old shack with an outhouse beside it. Inside the shack, next to the fireplace, was an old cooking pot and his mining tools. A cracked table with a three-legged chair stood near a small window and a kerosene lamp served as the centerpiece for the table.

In a dark corner of the room was a dilapidated cot with a threadbare bedroll on it.

The family picked up some of the old relics and anything that looked of value. As they were driving away, a longtime friend of the man flagged them down. "Do you mind if I help myself to what's left in the cabin?" he asked. "Go right ahead," the family replied. After all, they thought they had taken all that had any value.

The old friend entered the shack and walked straight over to the table. After moving it aside he lifted up one of the floorboards and proceeded to pull out all the gold that his friend had discovered over the past 35 years enough to have built himself a palace. The old man had died with only his friend knowing his true worth. As the friend looked out the window and watched the dust still settling from the relatives car he said, "They should have gotten to know him better."

When I heard this story I couldn't help but think of the tremendous treasure that lies in the person of Jesus Christ. Like with the relatives of the old man in the mountains, many people are missing out on the benefits of knowing Him. In Jesus Christ a person finds much more than monetary treasures - we can have the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).

The apostle Peter indicates that by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, we are provided an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled and doesn’t fade (I Peter 1:3-4). When a person repents of his sin and by faith accepts that Jesus Christ's riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7) Dear reader, do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this eternal treasure is yours? If you have any questions about receiving the gift of eternal life please don't hesitate to call me at Valleyview Baptist Church (610) 837-5894. work.

Parking, access, grades of the land, temporary housing of students if they were displaced from the present school, and sub-surface of the grounds, along with actual costs for doing any of the options were discussed. A feasibility study will be a part of the process.

Haller, in explaining the options, said, “Everything’s on the table.” New guidelines have been put in place by the Pa. Dept. of Education. Aziel said, “Criteria has to be established in moving forward with designs.”

Wherever the school is built, there are 1,300 middle school students in grades 6, 7 and 8. When the former votech school was built in the 1960’s, there was no technology as there is today, special education is now a part of the schools, and various other things have changed since then, Kovalchik said.

Director Jane Erdo said, “Now we’re looking at a location on the campus, but there will be more moves in the future. We will be fiscally responsible in having the best educational facilities.”

Other Announcements • At the beginning of Monday’s meeting, Kovalchik said a court hearing on proposed solar panels at Moore Elementary School has been postponed until December 6.

• He said a very nice program was held at the Kreidersville covered bridge last week, when two high school students were recognized for their DVD video produced at the school about the bridge.

The Northampton High School and Middle School bands were at their best, and were joined with other musical units of the valley such as the Celtic United bagpipers and the Allentown Hobo “Almost” Marching Band.
