Flag Raising Ceremony Marks Sept. 11

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

In a memorial tribute to the thousands of men and women who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Cub Scout Pack 35 on Tuesday held a flag raising ceremony at the Moore Elementary School on Tuesday. Students and school staff, along with Pack 35 from Little Moore Church in Danielsville in their uniforms, participated in the ceremony. The entire Northampton Area School District celebrated Patriot Day by wearing red, white and blue. All America, and indeed the world, remembers that horrible morning on Sept. 11 when terrorists took over American civilian aircraft and destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center in

New York City; tore a hole in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and plunged an aircraft, Flight 93, into the ground of a central Pennsylvania field at Shanksville – altogether killing more than 3,000 people. After the flag was raised, “Taps” was played by Alex Cabanela, 11, a sixth grade student at Moore Elementary. School Principal Curtis I. Dimmick told of the importance of 9-11 over the school’s public address system before the ceremony. “It’s important that the children know that this day is a part of American history. Most of these kids weren’t even born when it happened,” Dimmick said. The Cub Scouts were led by Assistant Leader Jason Kornhausl. All gave a hand salute as the flag was raised.

Bath Community Day

forcing an ordinance that is already in place concerning trash removal. Council voted to have a workshop on the dumpster ordinance on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. That date and time were decided on as other topics of concern were raised during the meeting. It was a busy night, with the meeting following the Labor Day holiday. Other Matters • First off was the presentation by Council President Robert Fields of a plaque to members of Bath’s 275th Anniversary committee. They were congratulated for all their hard work over the last four years that made the week a huge success. In turn, co-chairperson Fi Mirabito thanked all who gave the committee their support.

An ordinance that has been proposed over a period of several Bath Borough Council meetings is still being questioned, not only by local businesses and organizations, but also by Council. It’s the dumpster ordinance, and how to deal with the appearance of the containers and what problems arise if the law is not adhered to. At Council’s meeting on Sept. 4, Councilman Michael Reph had questions, and business representatives queried about having a wall or other cover to screen the dumpsters from public view. Also asked was is there a fine for overflowing dumpsters? One of those raising questions suggested just en-

Borough Manager Tom Petrucci commended the Colonial Regional Police for their traffic control during the anniversary, for which there was no charge. • A resident of Old Forge Dr. asked Council for permission to have a neighborhood yard sale to benefit a family that has been experiencing hard times. The event she said would be on Saturday, Sept. 29, noting also that the residents are trying to spruce up their properties. Council okayed the yard sale, and a waived fee for it. • Another resident, Carla Bucklad of S. Chestnut St., complained about drugs in Bath and the teenagers who are involved. Colonial Regional Police Chief Roy Seiple said Continued on page 2

District Debt and Obesity Presentations Heard

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News Chris Bambar of Public Financial Management in Harrisburg gave the Northampton Area School Board an update on borrowing and refinancing, as he met with the directors on Monday night. The extensive report detailed various sections of the district debt, much of which involves financing for the new middle school. Bambar told the board that with the current economy, interest rates remain very low, between 1.5% and 1.8%. He went into detail about debt service that includes principal . He offered advice for what the board should heed when taking action expected at their next meeting on Sept. 24. The district has debt service that amounts to $103.916 million. Act 34 Hearing The board was told by James Clough that Plan Con Parts B and

C for the middle school will go to Harrisburg after the Sept. 24 meeting. There will be an Act 34 hearing, for the state [Dept. of Public Education] regulates how much can be spent on new school construction. The hearing will be advertised in newspapers, with the deadline for public comment on Sept. 21. Starting Oct. 1, the DPE has imposed a moratorium for subsidies on building construction, but it doesn’t include the NASD. However, all drawings will have to be submitted to the DPE for review so that they include enough space for students in the rooms that are planned. DPE wants the school districts to be pro-active, Clough said. Two slides were shown by Chris Haller of D’Huy Engineering regarding an irrigation system. The board later approved the architect and consultant fee of $21,000 to incorporate the design of the

extension of the irrigation system to the upper athletic fields and to incorporate the bus loop turf fields in the bids. There will be another $100,000 added to this project. Clough said that the state is happy to see when utilities are close to the school and happy to see when a school site is away from hazardous conditions. Plan Con Part F will be submitted later when all properties are purchased and bids are sought. The total cost of the new middle school, on the site of the former Northampton Vo-Tech Branch, will remain at $80,720,752.

Cummings revealed new federal regulations that are clamping down on childhood obesity. Under the new regs, students are asked to

Northampton Street Fair Draws Crowds

Main Street between 19th St. and 21st Street was crowded on Saturday morning and afternoon as the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce held its annual street fair. More than 45 vendors set up stands along the curbs and people came to check the goods that were either sold or displayed. An accordionist played music as he walked back and forth, and there was entertainment on the Northampton Borough portable stage just south of 21st Street. There were stands that had things to eat and drink, too, so people strolled the street for most of the day after 9 a.m. and into the early afternoon. But even though the fair was scheduled to last until 5 p.m., dark clouds that threatened a severe thunderstorm built up at about 3 p.m. and many of the vendors folded their tents. Some of the faithful stayed on, however.

Letters from Bath Council from page 1 our Readers - the Continued department continues Work Together More For Bath’s Betterment To the Editor: The 275th anniversary was great. Thanks to all who helped. It was a week of fun. It took four years of planning, lots of time, money and hard work by Fi, Barry and their committee. I thank you. It was a huge success. The fireworks were super, super. Thanks to all who donated in any way for the celebration. Now it’s the time for everyone to work together for the good of the Borough. We have lots to do to make our town a friendly place in which to live. Working together, we can do anything. It’s the little things, like saying “Hello” to your neighbor, taking pride in all that you do, helping when needed. Our 300th anniversary is in the year 2037. I hope that I will be around, drinking red wine, to celebrate. Donald L. Wunderler Mayor of Bath Entering Pageant To the Editor: I am writing a follow up in regards to a previous announcement on the week of June 7-13 that Taylor Ziegler was entered into a pageant which she did not win the entire pageant. Although she was 1st runner up in her talent category. Which makes her eligible to participate in 2013 as well as the memories and experience was those for a lifetime!

their investigation into this activity. . . She also is seeking to re-organize the former Crime Watch in the borough. . . .A third item was about her drinking water, saying it is of poor quality. Council will ask the Bath Water Authority to have test samples taken of the water. • Roger Rehrig asked Council about impounded animals. The Center for Animal Welfare is filled with stray pets and there has been a $150 charge. CRPD has been taking care of dogs and feeding them, Seiple noted. Rehrig also observed that motorists are not stopping behind newly painted white lines at intersections, which were moved back to allow for turning tractor-trailers. • Fire Chief Ed Demchak gave this fire and EMS report of man-hours for August: fire calls, 114.5; EMS, 27; drills, 120; school, 75; administration, 240; equipment repair, 15; meetings, 65; work details, 25; fire police, 5, for a total of 686.50. Demchak announced that the Halloween parade will be on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m., with a rain date of Oct. 24. . . .Mayor Donald Wunderler and Petrucci also announced that Trick or Treat Night will be on Friday, Oct. 26 from 6-8 p.m. • Councilman John Kearns questioned the need to pay funds to the water authority for use of their dump truck at the gazebo project. He said the funds come from Bath Business & Community Partnership. Volunteers did most of the work and the water authority put in water and sewer lines. Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman pointed out that it is a beautiful project.

“It’s one of the nicest things done in the borough in a long time,” she said. Secretary Linda Hahn credited Kearns for his hard work at the gazebo in extreme heat. • Mrs. Heckman announced the grand opening of Antiques & Artisans for this past Saturday. . . .She also read more of historian Asa K. McIlhaney’s writings on the George Wolf family; he was born here and became the seventh Governor of Pennsylvania and was founder of the free school system. • The borough is getting a $210,000 Community Development Block Grant to replace sidewalks on Chestnut Street and will start work in the spring. . . .A Northampton County $27,500 gaming grant, or liquid fuels money, will be used to buy a new dump truck in 2012 and a snow plow attachment in early 2013. • Another item for the Sept. 25 workshop, a policy for two-hour parking on the Northampton St. lot. . .Councilwoman Heckman questioned the number of parking restriction signs, and Council may remove ordinance provisions that apply. This will be discussed at the workshop. One sign that hasn’t been enforced was hooded for Saturday’s antique store opening. With enforcement of regulations such a problem, Mrs. Heckman suggested setting up wards like in Bangor. Petrucci will research options and report back in November. • Councilman Reph asked Chief Seiple about cameras to check at intersections. How effective? Would they be worthwhile? Seiple said, “It’s the price.” Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts said the cameras rotate and can zoom in on incidents. Mrs. Bucklad volunteered to watch and document what she sees. • Solicitor Blake Marles commended Petrucci as a “quick study” who works very well in dealing with borough issues. Marles suggested one way Bath can save money is not requiring his time as much. Councilman Mark Saginario suggested he come in at 8 p.m. on the first Monday and stay until 9 p.m. unless needed longer. Marles agreed. • On the agenda was the $1,000 donation by the Bath Fire Social Hall to replace the Keystone Park pavilion. It hasn’t been used yet, and social hall president James Pasquariello said he was upset about the dumpster ordinance and there may be a change of mind. Specifications for the pavilion demolishing and rebuilding will be made this month to receive bids in October. • New playground equipment for Keystone Park, paid from CDBG funds, will be put together soon. • Units in the Bathview Apartments are being sold, but occupancy permits will be needed. • Real estate taxes are coming in, with $39,000 still outstanding. • A subdivision/land development time extension to March 2013 was approved for a proposed Dunkin Donuts store at 107 E. Main Street.

Know The Weather

Can one use nature’s signals to predict the weather, the seasons? Zome think so. Many old weather folklore sayings have a scientific basis. For example, red sunset, dry weather, often proves an accurate forecast because the sun sets in the west, where most prevailing winds come from and if the sun is red that means dust is in the air to the west-on the way. to you. Others believe that if a dog’s hair is long, or the band of the woolybear worm is wide, a cold winter is ahead. Here are some other omens of nature (not guaranteed): If leaves fall early, Indian summer will be short and winter mild. If leaves fall late, winter will be severe.

Weekend Forecast Northampton County The Eastern PA Weather Authority is looking forward to beautiful weather continuing through the weekend. Thursday will see sunny skies with a high of 83 degrees. Friday will be much of the same, high of 83 and mostly sunny. Saturday will be partly sunny with a high of 82. The extended forecast is calling for a chance of rain on Sunday with lower temperatures and a high of 78 degrees. Monday may also see rain showers and a high of 78 degrees.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Things have cooled off some as summer winds down, and it’s beginning to look a lot like fall is coming on. Leaves are falling in lots of places, although they haven’t turned red, yellow or orange yet. So this is preparation time – get the leaf blower back in shape, make sure there are enough rakes, and tune up the engine on the snow blower. Yep, sooner or later we’ll be digging out snow. We’re not gonna escape snow drifts like we did last winter, except for that surprise storm we had around Halloween time. . .

secret service agent. Others follow suit, and when all but one person has done this, the group will tackle the last person to the ground, all while yelling â&#x20AC;&#x153;get down Mr. President!â&#x20AC;? We chose to play while my brother was in the bathroom, and once he came out he was tackled to the ground by four people. It's safe to say that upon entering a room, you wanted to have your finger to your ear; you never knew when your friends were plotting against you. On our final full day in Germany our group split into two groups. One group would be touring Munich on bikes, and the other group would be touring first by tram and then by foot. I toured with the walking group, my ankle had becoming swollen in the past few days and I thought biking would irritate it further. The walking group consisted of myself and four others, including Frau Wenck, one of the German teachers. Our first challenge was finding the tram. Little did we know it was above ground, and we were searching in the underground subway station. Once we finally found it, we got off at the wrong stop and had to ask multiple people for directions to the English Gardens, our destination. The most helpful was a small, elderly woman who not only gave us directions, but took us to the subway we needed to board. By this point it had begun to rain, and none of us had thought to bring an umbrella. The temperature was also chilly in comparison to the last few days of touring. The rain didn't discourage us, and we trekked through the rain, determined to get to the English Gardens where Frau Wenck had told us of surfers who came to the river, rain or shine. We did eventually find the Gardens, but we didn't stay long. We had a time restraint and had to find our way back to Marienplatz, our central meeting point. When we asked for directions back to Marienplatz, we were given false directions twice, and walked thirty minutes back towards the square, where we met up with those who had biked, and spent the afternoon shopping. That evening the GAPP students dressed to impress. We would be having a farewell dinner at Munich's Ratskeller, or restaurant located in the city hall. The dinner was fantastic, but I still didn't

Pennsylvania Apples are InSeason at Area Farm Markets Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year when markets are full of fresh and delicious, locally-produced fruits and vegetables; and if you happen to love apples, now is the time to visit your local farm market. Pennsylvania is home to hundreds of apple varieties, and markets across the Commonwealth are offering consumers tried and true favorites like Gala and Golden Delicious, as well as newer and less familiar varieties. When you visit a Pennsylvania farm market, not only are you buying fresh, but you are also supporting the local economy and the growers in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An advantage to stopping by a market is that you have the opportunity to meet the grower and maybe even sample a new variety,â&#x20AC;? said Karin Rodriguez, Executive Director for the Pennsylvania Apple Marketing Program. In addition to selling apples many markets also sell fresh cider, as well as a variety of homemade apple goods like pies, dumplings, sauce, and butter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remember that when you get your apples home you should store them in a cool place for maximum flavor and freshness, regardless of if you bought them think that the following day I would be on a plane. Despite my disbelief I still packed my bag that night, finishing long before my roommates, who were up packing until 4 a.m. I had mixed feelings about heading home. During my trip I had reveled in my freedom, it was the first time I had ever been away from home for an extended period of time.

Be Prepared – Financially, That Is By: Carrie L. Fellon, CFP®

Are you so adequately informed about money matters that you could wisely handle the family finances if your spouse or close loved one were to die or be incapacitated? Consider your personal situation: Are you married? Living with a domestic partner? Designated by a loved one to take care of their affairs in the event of death or disability?

This can give you a sense of how well you know the financial workings of the relevant household. How might your close family members answer my first question about you? How easily would they be able to settle your affairs? If these questions make you squirm, then it’s time to devote some thought to your answers and ask yourself even more questions: • Where are the financial records kept? In a safe deposit box?

There are many ways to save for retirement.

(some are just better than others)

sic living expenses? • Does your spouse or significant other have a retirement plan at work? What benefits are available to you under this plan if they were to die? • What sources of income would remain for the household after your loved one’s death? Life insurance lump sum? Veteran’s benefits? Social Security? How long might you need to wait to collect benefits? • Where are passwords to your spouse’s or partner’s accounts? On sticky notes? On a laptop? Would you know how to shut off any automatic payments that are paid from their accounts? • What are the payoff amounts and interest rates on the home mortgage and credit cards? • Who are the beneficiaries of assets? How long ago were beneficiary forms updated? • Do you have a financial advisor? CPA? Attorney? Do both of you work well with these professionals, or do you disagree on their competence, ethics, or working style? • Does one of you assume responsibility for all of the above, while the other has limited knowledge about the household’s financial operations? Although such an arrangement may feel comfortable for both of you right now, how might you feel as the uninvolved party if you had to face this as the survivor? If you’re the one who has handled all of it for both of you, would you be willing to consider sharing some of the details and responsibilities in order to empower your loved one as a valued partner in your relationship? • If your close family member travels overseas, do you have a passport in the event you would need to travel to their destination to help them in an emergency? Many of these questions can apply to caregiver situations. For a full list that you may access and customize with your own additional questions, send me an email. Start discussing these with your loved one so that, together, you may arrive at the answers and reduce the mess that may be left behind after they or you are gone.

The Lehigh Township Historical Society will open St. Paul's Schoolhouse, located near St. Paul's UCC of Indianland, Almond Road, Lehigh Township, to the public on September 15, from noon to 4 p.m. If you have not visited the restored one-room schoolhouse, you are missing an opportunity to see firsthand what it was like in the classroom years ago when all eight grades were taught in the same room. In the 1950s, area one and two-room schoolhouses were closed and children were bused to an elementary school and high school. The society completed the restoration and offers this educational experience, which is great for the whole family, free of charge. For more information, call Ken at 610-767-5989.

The second quarter was also good for Northampton, but not enough to offset Nazareth’s attack. Quarterback Nick Cook went 15 for 26 for 273 yards and three touchdowns in that second quarter. Unfortunately, like the Philly Eagles, he was intercepted four times in the game. Also on the positive side for Northampton, Chris Pinnock scored a touchdown as he caught Cook’s passes for 112 yards, one of them for 81 yards, and Kyle George ran 95 yards after catching passes to get a score. Brendan Heimbach took the ball in from 37 yards for a touchdown. Jared Bauer returned a kickoff 95 yards for Northampton in the second quarter when the Kids got 21 points. On Friday, Northampton will host Parkland at Al Erdosy Field and Nazareth travels to Liberty for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

www.HomeNewsPA.com much time as possible afield this fall prior to and during the hunting seasons to pattern deer movements and identify areas where fall foods are abundant. “Hunt as often as you can, and scout every time you head afield,” Roe said. “Try to figure out which food sources deer are using. And pay attention to prevailing wind direction. These adjustments really can make a difference.” Those participating in the archery seasons are urged to take only responsible shots at deer to ensure a quick, clean kill. For most, that’s a shot of 20 yards or less at a deer broadside or quartering away. Archery and crossbow hunters should shoot at only deer that are within their maximum effective shooting range - the furthest distance from which a hunter can consistently place arrows or bolts into a pie pan-sized target. Hunters may use illuminated nocks for arrows and bolts; they aid in tracking or locating the arrow or bolt after being launched. However, transmitter-tracking arrows still are illegal. It also remains illegal to use dogs to track wounded deer. Tree-stands and climbing devices that cause damage to trees are unlawful to use or occupy unless the user has written permission from the landowner. Treestands - or tree steps - penetrating a tree’s cambium layer cause damage, and it is unlawful to build or occupy tree-stands screwed or nailed to trees on State Game Lands, state forests or state parks. Hunters are reminded that Game Commission regulations limit the placement of portable hunting treestands and blinds on State Game Lands from two weeks before the opening of the first big game season – which is the archery deer season - to two weeks after the close of the last big game season – which is the late archery deer season - within each respective Wildlife Management Unit, excluding the spring gobbler season. Stands must be removed from State Game Lands two weeks after the late archery deer season. “Hunters need to remember that placing a treestand on State Game Lands does not reserve a hunting area,” Roe said. “The first person to arrive in a certain spot has the right to hunt that area.”

Archery Deer Season Kicks Off Big Game Seasons While Pennsylvania’s statewide fall archery deer season doesn’t open until Sept. 29, archery hunters with an antlerless deer license for Wildlife Management Units 2B, 5C and 5D can start hunting this Saturday, Sept. 15. Statewide archers can hunt antlered or antlerless deer from Sept. 29 to Nov. 12, and during the late archery deer season, which runs from Dec. 26 to Jan. 12. The antlerless deer seasons in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, for those with antlerless licenses from these three urbanized WMUs, are Sept. 15-Sept. 28, and Nov. 12-Nov. 24. Bowhunters also may take antlered and antlerless deer in these units during the late archery season, which runs from Dec. 26-Jan. 26. Archery hunters may choose to use a long, recurve or compound bow, or a crossbow. Bows must have a draw weight of at least 35 pounds; crossbows must have a minimum drawn weight of at least 125 pounds. Broadheads on either an arrow or a bolt must have an outside diameter or width of at least seven-eighths inches with at least two cutting edges on the same plane throughout the length of the cutting surface, and shall not exceed three inches in length.

number of samples in many of the classes was high, showcasing some of the best hay produced in the state of Pennsylvania. Class placing is based on the nutritional analysis of the hay and visual inspection of the sample. The field cured grass hay class was very large this year, containing many entries from throughout the state. Ray Mack, well known Pen Argyl dairy farmer, took first place for his first cutting orchardgrass hay and also his second cutting grass hay. Ray also won a first place award for his oat hay and took second place for his clover hay entry. Mark Heitzman, of

Pristash Chosen to Succeed Ms. Maikits on Boro Council

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

With five applications submitted, it took two ballots of members of Northampton Borough Council on Thursday to select the person to succeed Sherry Neff-Maikits to represent the Second Ward on Council. Anthony Pristash was appointed to fill the vacancy left when Ms. Maikits moved to Coplay Borough. He won over Richard Ackerman for the post and will serve through the end of 2013. The position will be on the ballot in spring 2013. Others who had applied were Debra Brobst, Robert Lindenmoyer and Andrew O’Boyle. Pristash was not present at the meeting and will be sworn in later by Mayor Thomas D. Reenock, and then officially take his seat in Council chambers. Prestige for Mayor Mayor Reenock has been elected to a high leadership position in the Association of Mayors of the Boroughs of Pennsylvania. He was recently elected first vice president at their convention, having served as second vice president of the association. Mayor of Northampton Borough since 1994, he had previously served on Council since 1976. The mayors asso-

ciation is made up of leaders throughout Pennsylvania, striving to secure a closer and personal relationship among the mayors of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The 600 mayors who are members exchange information to provide service to their boroughs, each of them actively engaged in promoting progressive legislation. In addition to serving as mayor, Reenock has been active in other phases of community well-being. Most recently, he worked along with Fire Chief Robert Solderich and Northampton’s three veterans organizations to build a veterans plaza that has won widespread praise. He is also active with the Sister Cities celebration, which was held last Saturday, marking the friendship between Northampton and Stegersbach, Austria, and has been active along with the local police department in the Drug and Alcohol Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program held at local public and parochial schools. After his year as first vice president of the mayors association, he would naturally assume the presidency the following year. Other Matters • Michael Bachman was hired on Thursday as a fulltime officer in the Northamp-

Store Hours Mon.-Fri. 7-7 Sat. 7-4

ton Police Department. He will need to successfully pass a physical exam and psychological evaluation. All members of Council congratulated Bachman and welcomed him at the meeting. With his hiring, Council will need to update its Civil Service eligibility list. • Council gave permission for two other police officers to undergo special training. Officer Robert Frantz will attend a five-day state police firearms instructor course at the Allentown Police Academy that will certify him as a trainer for other officers on the firing line, with such firearms as shotgun, rifle, automatic rifle, service automatic, and pistol. . . .Officer Dennis Smith will attend the third annual DUI law enforcement seminar at Mechanicsburg on Sept. 25, a seminar that was formerly mobile and held at Lehigh Township. • Two requests were approved: Use of Canal Street Park by the Gospel Chapel for a chili fest and hay rides on Oct. 20 and the Northampton Area Food Bank for a 4.5mile walk-a-thon beginning at Canal St. Park and around town on Oct. 27. • Approval was given, following questioning by Councilmen Ed Pany and Robert McHale, of the nonuniformed pension plan and the police pension plan. In the first, there is an obligation of $184,812 with $71,300 in state aid and $113,512 paid by the borough. Pany Continued on page 13

Sister Cities Ceremony Honors Late Joe Leitgeb

Joseph Leitgeb, Jr. died unexpectedly in February at the age of 65. He had been a Northampton Borough Councilman and a leading person in the Sister Cities celebration that marks the friendship between this community and the town of Stegersbach, Austria. That friendship and Leitgeb’s service were a major part of the 37th annual Sister Cities ceremony on Saturday, Sept. 1. Mayor Tom Reenock led a moment of silent prayer in remembrance to Leitgeb, and also for Willard Keller, who has participated for many years with Burgenland and Sister Cities celebrations. Leitgeb had visited Stegersbach in the past and last

year spoke at the local celebration. State Representative Julie Harhart brought with her to this year’s celebration a resolution of condolence for Leitgeb from the Pa. House of Representatives. She said that Leitgeb had a strong commitment to both Northampton and the heritage of its citizens. Family Present Also giving remarks on the friendship they enjoyed with Leitgeb were Borough Manager Eugene Zarayko and Council President John Yurish. Members of Leitgeb’s family were present for the ceremony and a wreath was placed in front of the Sister Cities monument along Laubach Ave.

Dear Nazareth, I was saddened a bit when I saw some of my leaves on the tree in my front yard begin to change with a hint of red color. And then another morning I woke up to leaves scattered on my lawn… Fall is coming! Time to watch the garden go to sleep and look for that sweatshirt or jacket buried in the closet. So start the coffee and get some breakfast going, I have family visiting from Savannah, GA that have been staying at the TownePlace Suites by Marriot in Easton. I have a guestroom in my home, but they wanted to stay somewhere that had a pool for their kids. The other night while the kids had fun in the heated pool, we enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub! The hotel offers a nice breakfast, which is fun for the kids and a relief for parents, but I enticed them to come over this morning for my “David Eyer Pancakes!” . . . . Later we did a little sightseeing, a few errands, when the kids noticed Garden Buffet at the shopping area we were at and were hungry for Chinese food (when are kids Continued on page 11

News Sermonette Pastor Barry Mitchell Emmanuel’s Lutheran Church, Emanuelsville

Work, Work, Work In this week of Labor day, my thoughts turn to the subject of work. These days I find more and more people spending great amounts of time at the workplace. Fifty hour work weeks are becoming rather normal and stories of 60 and 70 hour weeks are not uncommon. A few are there because they love their work and pour themselves into it. Many are simply forced by circumstance and need to work these long hours. It’s rare for me to hear anyone say how much they love their job and fewer still who think of their work as a ministry, a divine calling. God’s plan for creation included human beings who were designed to work. In the second chapter of Genesis it says, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.” Work was a part of the design. In the fall of the man and the woman, work took on a new characteristic, (Genesis 3:17) “And to the man he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life...” Work, which we presume was easy and enjoyable, became a chore, more difficult and sometimes downright hard. Yet God continues to bless us through our work and calls on us to do our best as a ministry in the world. It’s helpful to recognize that work is not a punishment or a necessary evil in God’s plan. While it may not always be as enjoyable as we might like it to be, work is a natural and God given task for our lives. In light of this, I offer a prayer for all who work, that God may bless what you do and give you strength to do it to the best of your ability. Creating God, you took earth and worked it into a holy shape and breathed life into man and woman. You worked to bring forth beauty and a harmony of relationships. And when your work was done, you said it was good. Give us the strength and vision to work kindly on your earth and to work toward your reign of justice and peace. Couch our hearts with compassion so we remember those who make life livable: -the farmers and laborers who work to provide food, -those who keep the water clean and the electricity flowing, -those who clean up after us. Touch our will to do justice: -for those without work and many whose gifts are underused, -for there is pain and hurt in our world. In the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen

Relying again on the brochure the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce gave me, the “2012 Guide to Historic Nazareth and surrounding areas,” I found Vivid Impressions.

Moore Supervisors Commit $700K To Preserve Farmland in 2013 By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

The Moore Township Board of Supervisors approved a commitment of $700,000 to the Northampton County Farmland Preservation Committee for the 2013 calendar year at their meeting last week. The commitment comes with a fund match from the county for continued farmland preservation in the Township. To date, the township has given $2.4 million to open space and farmland preservation. According to solicitor Dave Backenstoe, Moore Township stands alone when it comes to preservation in the state.“I do not think too many other Townships have gone after [preservation] as aggressively as Moore Township.” Backenstoe said after the commitment was unanimously approved. In addition to committing the funds for next year, the supervisors also approved the new EAC ordinance as well as reluctantly accepted resignations from members of the EAC and the Recreation Department. Moore Township Supervisors approved Ordinance

#2012-04, which repeals the old Environmental Advisory Council and creates a new one. The move, which was recommended by the Planning Commission, redefines the duties of the members and allows them to focus on environmental tasks such as education programs and problems in the Township. The ordinance clearly separates the duties of the EAC and the farmland preservation boards, both are strictly advisory boards to the Supervisors. Chairman Dave Tashner noted that the new ordinance will allow for more residents to be involved on the advisory boards. The EAC board currently has four vacancies for which the township will advertise in the coming weeks. Three of the vacancies came at Tuesday’s meeting when the Supervisors accepted the resignations of Greg Wacick, Glenn Shoemaker and Lester Smith. Bill Posner was transferred from the EAC to the preservation board. To read a full report of the September 4th Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting, visit our website at www.homenewspa.com.

The existing sewer main is owned and operated by the Nazareth Borough Municipal Authority.

Colonial Regional Four Retail Thefts At Walmart’s Center

Colonial Regional Police responded to the Walmart Supercenter in the Northampton Crossings mall for four incidents recently. • CRPD went to Walmart’s on Sept. 3 at 10:35 p.m. for a young man being detained for retail theft. He was identified as 21-year-old Stephen D. Garr II of Cottage St., Easton. Loss prevention personnel saw Garr select various items of male protection and lubrication and conceal the merchandise in his pockets. Garr then purchased a greeting card and left the store without paying for the concealed merchandise, which totaled $64.55.

He was issued a citation for retail theft, which will be filed through District Judge Joseph Barner’s office. Garr was then released without further incident. • On Sept. 4 at 3:215 p.m., CRPD officers were informed that security had a female in custody for retail theft. Security told Officer Templeton that they saw Jessica M. Flick, 25, of 38 Bennett St., Phillipsburg, select clothing items and then conceal them in her purse. She attempted to leave the store without paying for them. Security followed her past the last point of sale at the front entrance and contacted Ms. Flick, taking her into custody. She was cited and released at the scene. • Officer Templeton was called again to Walmart’s on Sept. 7 at 12:22 p.m., when security had a young man in custody for retail PA003267

theft. They saw Jorge A. Salazar, 19, of 113 N. 8th St., Easton, select a cell phone case and try to leave the store without paying for it. Salazar was taken into custody, cited and released. • That same day, at 3:07 p.m., CRPD’s Officer Epser was told by security at Walmart’s that they had a girl in custody. She had taken clothing and cosmetic items without paying for them and tried to leave, but was caught. The16-year-old girl was identified by her parents. She was cited and released at the scene to her father.

Nazareth

Police Charge Woman With Setting Fires

Nazareth police have charged a borough woman with arson, following an investigation of a fire that destroyed or badly damaged several row homes in the Green Street section of town last March. Karla Dewey, 30, was arraigned on Monday afternoon before District Judge John Capobianco on two charges of arson. In one case, Ms. Dewey is charged with arson, risking a catastrophe, and criminal mischief. In another, she’s charged with two counts of arson, causing a catastrophe, criminal mischief, endangering the welfare of children and unsworn falsification. Following the investigation,

School Board Continued from page 1 take a fruit or vegetable with their lunch, rather than ala carte, which often includes food that puts on weight. It’s also more expensive, and reimbursements only come with menus that require fruits or vegetables. Cummings said that Aramark now makes sure that all bread and rolls that they provide are 51% whole grain. And instead of whole milk, it is 1%. The school district wasn’t made aware of the new federal law until August, Superintendent Joseph Kovalchuk said. School lunches this year are $1.70 for elementary students and $1.95 for secondary. It was noted that parents need to communicate with their children and ask them to eat more fruit and vegetables. Jane Erdo said her mother used to make a hot lunch when she went to school in the 1950’s, and that there were no school lunches. “The government needs to butt out of our

www.HomeNewsPA.com lives,” she said, observing that kids today occupy their time with electronic technology instead of getting outside in the dirt and being physically active to keep trim. “I feel sorry for you [Aramark] that you have to follow federal regulations” (to be certified), she said. Director Jennifer Miller said it’s up to the parents to control their kids, and she also asked that more water be made available in school. In regard to fruit, director Dr. Michael Baird noted that he recalled in one lunch period alone there was a waste of three bushels of apples that the students picked up, didn’t eat, and threw away. Other Matters • The board voted 7-2 to have director Darin Arthofer attend the annual Pa. School Boards Association conference on Oct. 16-19, at a cost of $1,000. Mrs. Miller said she was going to go one day as a voting delegate, and said having Arthofer there would be redundant. Director Jean Rundle also voted “no”. After Arthofer said he wanted to be added to the list of conference attendees, Jane Erdo, who has 35 years in the education field, spoke of the value of attending conferences of the Pa. School Boards Association to learn what other school directors feel about different issues. Director Cory Fenstermaker also said when he attended he found out other viewpoints that helped him. Supt. Kovalchuk will attend the Oct. 17 meeting. • The board passed a resolution pursuant to the provisions of Act 4 that provides exemption of certain eligible real farm property from further millage [tax] increases beginning with the millage established for the school district fiscal year 2013-14. Mrs. Erdo agreed that we need to maintain our rural areas, and noted that Moore Township is aggressive in this regard. Mrs. Miller said [the .25% tax approved by residents] is “a small price to pay” to preserve farmlands. Dr. Baird noted that if a farm owner wants to save some acreage for his family, he needs to subdivide it first before putting the rest in farmland preservation. However, Gogel said a landowner in Moore Township set aside 50 acres for his family to build on later if they wish, and put the other 80 acres in farmland preservation, for which he was paid to see that there will never be development. • Dr. Baird commended the staff and teachers for getting their classrooms ready for the opening of schools on Sept. 4. Kovalchuk agreed it was a ”very good start” to the new year. • The directors approved what Daniel Hill had already done – he donated $1,100 of new backpacks and clothing for all NASD students. • Meet the Teacher Night is being observed this week in the elementary schools and next week it will be held in the secondary schools. • Student Council representative Ben Longacre reported that they would be discussing the Sept. 29 Homecoming at their meeting on Tuesday, and also that red, white and blue would be worn by everyone on Tuesday, Sept. 11 in observance of Patriot Day. Longacre returned recently after four weeks in Japan and said it was the “best time in my life.” He also said the new policy allowing I-phones in study hall is going well in the effort to stress positive behavior. Kovalchuk said texting is not allowed, but in the 21st Century schools need to embrace technology. • Richard Nothstein of Lehigh Township appealed to the school district to change the location of a bus stop along Almond Rd. He wants it moved to a safer place because it is near a hilltop, so that motorists might not see children or the bus in time. Gogel said it will be checked out.
