Issue of ordinance for McAuliffe Expansion again stirs Lehigh debate By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
The debate that was carried on between Zoning Hearing Board chairperson Dr. Katherine Mack and the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors on August 9 was repeated almost word for word again on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Again it was a heated discussion as Mrs. Mack said the board should not have enact-
ed an ordinance for a single business to expand and set hours of operation because they acted improperly, and contrary to a state court decision regarding the McAuliffe refuse hauling operations along Timberline Road. At the August 9 meeting, Supervisor Dell Grove said Dr. Mack should put her concerns in writing. She did, and Solicitor David Backenstoe acknowledged that last Tues-
Farmers, hunters disagree Over proposed change in Sunday hunting laws By JOE KORBA The Home News
State Representative Marcia Hahn, R-Northampton, hosted a public hearing on Thursday, September 15 on controversial House Bill 1760 that would allow hunting on Sundays in the state for the first time since the ban was imposed in 1873. Pennsylvania is one of eleven states that still have restrictions on Sunday hunting. Members of the House Game and Fisheries Committee heard arguments both for and against the proposed change for about an hour and
a half in a crowded conference room in the East Allen Township Municipal building. Rep. Hahn opened the meeting by claiming that 62% of people in her Northampton County district are against changing the law on Sunday hunting. The first person to speak was Robert Krause, a 40-year resident of Nazareth, who represented the Pennsylvania State Grange, a pro-agriculture grassroots organization that has over 10,000 members statewide. Krause voiced the Grange’s opposition to H.B. 1760 on grounds of the risk to Continued on page 13
Installation ceremonies for three organizations that are a part of Eckley E. Patch Post #470, American Legion, in Bath were conducted on Wednesday night, Sept. 14. The meeting was opened by Post Commander Larry Becker, and then refreshments were enjoyed before a plaque and trophy were presented, and then the officer installations took place with officers of the 30th District leading them.` Baseball Presentations The coach of the Bath Senior Legion baseball team presented a plaque to Alex Longernecker, as most valuable player this past season. He played shortstop for the
team, which had a 20-3 seasonal record in the Northampton County League and went on to excel in regionals. “This was the finest team I’ve ever coached,” said Dave Brong, Sr. He noted Longernecker’s outstanding high school record, as well as with the Senior Legion team, and noted that he is now enrolled at Northampton Community College, saying that he played baseball with “heart, stealth, courage and faith.” The latter ingredient in his make-up, Brong said, was when he saw Longernecker praying in the dugout just before taking the mound against Nazareth, and then he went on to throw a four-hitter.
A large trophy was presented to Becker for the Post Home, as the baseball team finished second to Nazareth in the regional playoffs. Installations These were the officers installed: Legion Auxiliary, Unit 470 – Laura Diehl, president; Tina Druckenmiller, vice president; Robin Meixsell, treasurer; Sandy Becker, chaplain; Denise Becker, sergeant-atarms, secretary Tiffany Fritz and historian Tara Hitzel were not present. The officers were seated by outgoing Legion Auxiliary president of the 30th District, Kathy Olker. Continued on page 7
day at the supervisors’ meeting. While the expansion could come under a special exception, it cannot be a nonconforming use. The ZHB hasn’t ruled on the issue as yet, and won’t until October. Backenstoe doesn’t believe it is spot zoning, but Dr. Mack also doesn’t believe that the ordinance passed for McAuliffe complies with the zoning ordinance by giving this Continued on page 9
90 deer die Of EHD at Danielsville farm By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
News that deer had died from a tiny insect bite broke on Friday morning in Camp Hill, Pa., when Lee Marsh of Danielsville reported to the Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs that 120 deer had died at the Kleintop Farm in Danielsville. He reported it to Matt Hough, Deputy Executive Director of the Pa. Game Commission, who said information he had received was that 19 deer had died in Northampton County. Since then, it has been learned that the true figure was approximately 90 whitetail deer that have expired on the farm of Larry Kleintop, called Mountain View Deer Farm. The cause, gnatlike flies called midges that bring on a death-dealing virus called EHD or Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease. It only affects cervids – deer, elk or moose – not cattle or any human being. The virus causes an infecContinued on page 3

Postal Disgrace
The greatest failure, and disgrace, of this Congress--and President Obama--may be the failure to insure traditional mail service to all Americans. On Labor Day the leading newspaper in the country, the New York Times, headlined a front page story revealing the Post Office Department was “near default.” With Congress spending fifty billions a month to fight a misguided war in Afghanistan, financing military bases in far away Asia in our effort to police the world, it has not displayed common sense to insure regular mail service to the American public and businesses. The cost would be much less than a number of misguided military and other expensive and outdated federal programs. If members of Congress allow postal service to be curtailed, because of lack of funds, while wasting billions on outdated bureaucracies and foreign military bases, also outdated, Americans must elect new senators and congressmen, who are in touch with the real world.

By State Rep. Marcia Hahn 138th Legislative District
It is a chicken-and-egg argument – do we have high unemployment because of our sluggish economy, or has the economy slowed because of the lack of jobs? What I do know for certain is the House Labor and Industry Committee is not sitting still and waiting for the answer. During the month of August the committee chaired by state Rep. Ron Miller (RYork County) held a series of hearings on right to work and prevailing wage. These issues have been around for a long time, yet these hearings are the first of their kind in Harrisburg for quite a while. Right to work statutes currently exist in 22 states. Pennsylvania is not among them. Miller’s committee examined House bills 50, 51, 52 and 53. Each piece of legislation would prohibit agreements between labor unions and employers that make membership payment of union dues, or fees, a condition of employment either before or after hiring. The committee also held hearings on three prevailing wage bills and is considering two additional bills on the subject. Prevailing wage is defined as the hourly wage, usual benefits and overtime paid to the majority of workers, laborers, and mechanics within a particular area. While this may seem fairly simple to understand, the debate lies in the manner by which prevailing wage is determined. Chairman Miller has authored House Bill 1367, which would require Pennsylvania’s Department of Labor to use the Center for Workforce Information and Analysis in determining prevailing minimum wage rates on a county-by-county basis. Opponents argue that workers’ wages would be reduced. Miller’s contention is that a large number of people (the Pennsylvania taxpayers) stand to benefit because their tax dollars would in effect be “stretched.” Prevailing wage, as currently measured, runs up the cost of public projects such as school buildings and improvements to infrastructure. Imagine how many more of these projects we could afford if the price, in effect, was reduced. Finding a solution to our unemployment dilemma is not easy. What we do know is no economic recovery will in fact take place unless we find a way to create jobs. That means making our state more attractive to business. Chairman Miller testified that, when prospective em-
ployers approach York County, the first question they ask is whether or not Pennsylvania is a right-to-work state. On the issue of prevailing wage, it’s simple math that the more projects we can accomplish the more workers we will need to accomplish them. The fall agenda in Harrisburg is expected to be a busy one. Legislation dealing with prevailing wage and right-towork figures to be part of the discussion. I hope these bills will be seriously considered as we move to declare Pennsylvania “open for business.”

The air is a little crisper now that fall is arriving on Friday, and we’ve been seeing more sunshine than rain the past few days, except there’s some coming on again. When the leaves start turning colors it will be nice to take a ride in the countryside and view them. It’s afterward that people dread – all those leaves to rake! Oh well, it’s Nature, and we hafta take the bad with the good. Just keep rooting for the good, I’d say. . . .Phillies won their division before anybody else, but if they don’t pull out of their hitting slump, the same fate will hit them as last year. Pitching is No. 1, but they can’t always rely on it. Hits add up to runs. Five hour energy drink might help the players, but then again. . . .Nazareth High School looks like they have a power house football team, but I don’t know what to say about Northampton’s team. They’re having it rough so far. . . . Looks like the restaurant over on Northampton St., downtown, has closed its doors. Strange how some restaurants are busy as bees, while others just fade into the sunset. . . . Sorry to hear about Harold Brink passing away. He was really active for quite some years. . . .The bad weather of this summer took
its toll on some fairs and carnivals, but nothing as bad as out in Bloomsburg, where they were flooded over and hadta call it off altogether. The flood was so bad, the water treatment plant downtown was 11 ft. under, I hear, so no water to drink or cook with. . . . Let’s hope the weather’s clear for this Saturday’s town yard sale to benefit next year’s anniversary. . . . Watching TV, I see there’s a big push on to find a way of stopping Alzheimer’s disease. It can really affect families when their loved ones don’t know you anymore. The mind is so complicated. I know it’s hard remembering names sometimes, or forgetting what you went for in another room, but I reckon that’s just old age. . . . Enjoyed the spaghetti dinner the Venture Crew had at the U.C.C. church the other day, but being a spaghetti lover from way back, I reckon I’ll take in the one this Saturday over at the church where Jerry Mraz usta preach in Northampton. . . . Reckon I better check on my rakes, and see if they’re up to some raking in a few weeks. They are bamboo and break easy, so a few spokes might be missing. Have a great weekend, gang! Elmira will be going from place to place for flea market – type bargains, I’m sure of that.

New Jersey and New York. For many months, the PGC has been fearful of another disease, CWD, or Chronic Wasting Disease, one that attacks the brain of deer and other cervids. However, while it has struck in New York and West Virginia, so far it has spared this state’s deer herd, with hundreds of tests showing up with negative results. Bowhunting season for deer opened on Saturday, and hunters should be alerted to watch for deer that have difficulty standing, are drooling from the mouth or nose, or which may be found dead along streams since the animals experience a deep thirst. The PGC and state Dept. of Agriculture agree that humans cannot contract EHD from consuming infected animals, but it’s not a good idea to eat the venison. Kleintop reportedly will continue raising his herd of 400 cattle on the Danielsville farm, but EHD has ended his having deer there.

Lehigh Valley has two CROP Hunger Walks CROP Walks build community strength by bringing together people of all ages and faiths to help stop hunger, around the block and around the world. Each year more than 2.5 million friends and neighbors walk, volunteer, or sponsor a walker in CROP Walk communities across the U.S. One quarter of the total proceeds from each Walk benefit local food pantries and soup kitchens. The balance of the proceeds is used to build interfaith and intercultural coalitions to eradicate hunger and poverty, aid refugees, and bring relief to the victims of natural disasters in the United States and abroad. Funds are raised by CROP Hunger Walk participants who gather pledges of financial support for each mile walked. Last year the Allentown and Bethlehem Walks raised nearly $50,000 to combat hunger in our community and worldwide. The Allentown six mile CROP Hunger Walk sponsored by the Lehigh County Conference of Churches is scheduled for Sunday, Octo-
lentown. Registration forms and pledge packages are available at First Presbyterian Church of Allentown, Cedar Crest Blvd. & Tilghman Street or at the offices of the Conference of Churches, 534 Chew Street, Allentown. For more information contact Rev. Diane Kareha at 610-391-8210 or karehad@diakon.org or Tom Smith at 610-439-8653 Ext. 19 or tsmith@lehighchurches. org. The Bethlehem CROP Hunger Walk is on the same day, October 9. Registration begins at 1:00 p.m. under the Hill to Hill Bridge on Spring Street. The 5.6 mile Walk begins at 1:30 p.m. For sponsor sheets or more information, contact Matt Piszel at Messiah Lutheran Church at 610 691-2321. Bethlehem, Nazareth and Hellertown pantries and soup kitchens benefit from the proceeds of the Bethlehem CROP Walk.

Northampton County 4-H horse club members had a bright summer in spite of having to brave extreme heat, torrential downpours of rain, and even a hurricane. Fifty-one 4-H members competed in the Northampton County Round-Up held on August 14. Even heavy rains, which fell the previous night, and showers throughout the day, couldn’t dampen their enthusiasm for the show and their horses and ponies. Twenty-one members qualified at Round-Up to advance to the District Show held at the Bucks County Horse Park on August 27.

Nazareth rally beats Liberty; Kids lose again Nazareth’s Blue Eagles are riding a three-game winning streak, thanks to their last minute heroics. They beat Liberty in the Bethlehem School District Stadium on Friday night, 42-41. It took three touchdowns in the second half to eclipse Liberty, getting the final TD with only 38 seconds left in the game. The two-point conversion on a pass to Dan Shepherd gave them the winning edge over top-ranked Liberty in the Lehigh Valley Conference. That final, winning touchdown was again a big pass from quarterback Dan Harding to running back Andrew
Bridgeforth. As a matter of fact, the Bridgeforth twins are a major part of the Blue Eagles attack this season. In this contest, Andrew carried six times for 161 yards, while Adam had the ball 12 times for 143 yards. Northampton is continuing with a dismal season, this time losing 45-6 to Easton’s Red Rovers in a game on Friday at Easton. The Konkrete Kids’ only score came late in the first half when quarterback Patrick Cook hooked up with Kyle George for 39 yards and Brandon Heimbach for nine yards. The extra point kick failed.
Four sweeps, but Salem Luth. alone in dartball first
Four teams recorded sweeps in this second week of the Suburban Inter-Church Dart Baseball League season, but Salem Lutheran of Bethlehem, who didn’t play last week, is in first place.

Farmersville: Dave Campbell, 5 for 12; Kyle Campbell and Rod Barron, both 4 for 12, and Wade Chilmonik, a home run. Salem Lutheran won over Dryland-Trinity, Hecktown, 4-0, 4-3, and 7-2 behind Kyle
Taylor, 7 for 10; Bob Williams, 6 for 11; Bryan Frankenfield and Bill Hoke, Sr., both 5 for 12. Dryland: Jerry Butz, 3 for 8.

PFSC Fall Convention Covers Multitude of Topics for Sportsmen Sept. 16-18 were busy days for delegates and other members of the Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs at their fall convention in Camp Hill, across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg. Friday was devoted to agency and committee reports. First, the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission. S.B. 1049 calls for multi-year fishing licenses, in view of license sales going downward. (A hearing was slated for Tuesday on the bill). The losses are attributed to work, other family activities, and weather. Multi-year licenses would lock in revenue for the PFBC in those years. Executive Director John Arway said other states are envious of Pa., where agencies for fishing and boating are separate from game. Arway
also believes TV is the chief competitor to the fun and relaxation of fishing. PFBC will make an app to connect with the next generation. He also believes that parents and mentors can stir the interest among children 12-16 for fishing. Marcellus Shale was part of the PFBC report because natural gas drilling is changing the landscape. “We’ve got to step up and take the lead to make sure our streams are protected,” he said, noting it’s not the well sites but the pipelines that are a big threat. Game Committee opened with an appeal by John Kline of U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance to support H.B. 1760, Sunday hunting. He said he was at Thursday’s hearing in East Allen Twsp. (actually said Bath) on the issue. Kline said it puts the decision for seasons and bag limits on the Pa. Game Commission, including only a few Sundays. Kline added that 1760 is only one tool to get more people hunting. He also noted a negative alliance between the Pa. Farm Bureau and the Humane Society, but this was denied by former PGC commissioner Russ Schleiden. Kline said people against Sunday hunting are so because of emotion and tradition. (On Sunday, the delegates voted 21 yes, 5 no and 2 abstentions on a part of the bill that says

Boy Scouts visit Civil War history Two area Boy Scout troops recently made a trek to visit history. Troop 38 from Bangor and Troop 50 from Moorestown visited Gettysburg National Park. Over August 17-22 the troops completed activities to earn the Gettysburg patch with all segments, as well as the Gettysburg Trail Medal. After arriving at the McMillan Youth Campground, located near the Confederate lines, the groups set up the necessary equipment for the stay – tents, canopies, and cook stoves became evident. So started the adventure. Day one consisted of going to the new Visitor Center to learn something about Gettysburg and view the Cyclorama. A visit to the National Cemetery was included during the day. After a quick lunch, it was off to the Eisenhower Farm to see the retirement home of President Dwight Eisenhower. Day two included hiking the Johnny Reb and Historic Gettysburg Trails. Seeing houses that still showed the remnants of the Civil War battle was fascinating to the Scouts. Day three started with the hike of the Billy Yank trail. Here the Scouts visited the Pennsylvania Monument, a medical re-enactment camp, and learned about Spangler’s Spring. While hiking not far from Devil’s Den, Scoutmaster
Tim Sorady made a discovery. A piece of earthenware was found in an area known as Slaughter Alley. Park rangers collected the piece to be looked at by the curator. Follow-up with the curator indicated that the piece may have been from either a trash pile of a nearby farm or possibly picnic remnants from visitors to the site not long after the battle. The day concluded with an invitation to other groups at McMillan Woods for a campfire. It was attended by some
Pennsylvania Monument was a stop for the area scouts on their trip to Gettysburg. Confederate soldiers who were camping nearby. The ending of the campfire included a flag retirement ceremony on the sacred grounds of Gettysburg.

HORNER CEMETERY
Looking Back By ED PANY Curator, Atlas Cement Memorial Museum
Scotch-Irish Settlement
In this continuing series, I am standing in the 1745 Jane Horner Cemetery remembering the Scotch-Irish settlement of 1728, the first settlement in Northampton County. This first settlement was called the Craig Settlement after James and Thomas Craig who were leaders in founding of the Irish settlement. The family descended from William Craig of Stirlingshire, Scotland who settled in Ireland because of James I persecution of Presbyterians. His sons and daughters would emigrate to America for freedom and opportunity The home of James Craig still stands in East Allen Township south of the Jane Horner Cemetery. A pious man, he was visited by Rev. David Brainert, a famed pioneer missionary. He donated the land for the Presbyterian cemetery “Jane Horner Cemetery.” Never missing church and being afflicted by palsy, he was carried to church by his four sons. Two of his sons were some of the first soldiers serving in the Revolutionary War. Samuel served under Gen. Anthony Wayne; John, a captain in Washington’s Light Horse Cavalry, said to be one of company’s best horsemen. One son married Elizabeth Brown, sister of Gen. Robert Brown, who is also buried in the Horner Cemetery. Another founder of the settlement was Thomas Craig,
whose son, also named Thomas, was a general during the Revolutionary War. Thomas was farming at the outbreak of the Revolution. Joining our nation’s first army, he was commissioned a captain on Jan. 5, 1776, fighting in the Battles of Germantown, Monmouth and Brandywine. It was said he was the first officer to protect the new Continental Congress. He survived the bitter winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge. It was Craig who warned General Washington of British General William Howe’s surprise attack on the Continental Army, thus averting a military disaster. The famous soldier died at the age of 92 on Jan. 13, 1832 after giving dedicated service in the formation of our nation. Another illustrious son of the Scotch-Irish settlement is General Robert Brown, a son of one of the sixteen original pioneer families. A general during the Revolution, he became a personal friend of General George Washington. Brown was taken prisoner by the British during the war and was later a part of a prisoner exchange. The soldier returned home after the war and constructed a home near Frank’s Corner on Airport road and Rt. 329. He was Northampton County’s first senator, serving 20 years. General Brown visited his friend George Washington at Mount Vernon where, as a sign of friendship,

he was given two chestnut saplings from Washington’s garden. Carried by horseback, they were planted in 1781. At one time the giant trees had a base circumference exceeding 20 feet. Struck by lightning, nuts from the ailing tree were sent to 48 states at a time. The bare remains of the Friendship Tree can be seen north of Frank’s Corner, a window to our past. The tree is a symbol of the heritage of East Allen Township and is embroidered on the Township Flag, “Settled in 1728, Established in 1842. “ The flag was designed by former East Allen Township Supervisor, Mr. David Miller. In the northwest corner of the Jane Horner Cemetery is a simple stone and American Flag marking the grave of Gen. Robert Brown. The inscription is nearly gone but his contributions and the 21 veterans remembered there can be appreciated each day when we enjoy the freedoms these men bequeathed to all of us. I want to thank my friend Mary Ann Unangst for allowing me to use some of her research from her book East Allen Township which she penned over 30 years ago. In two weeks, I will continue telling the stories of our first settlers from the Jane Horner Cemetery.
(Ed. Note: With the original Friendship Tree barely existing, a horse chestnut tree was obtained from Mt. Vernon and was planted in Bath at Keystone Park several years ago.)

Have you been to the Lehigh Township Historical Centre? Are you interested in history? Would you like to reminisce of years ago? If you haven't visited the historical centre, you are missing an enjoyable time to learn about life in Lehigh Township and days gone by. Sunday, October 9, is the last open house for the season. Time to visit is 1 to 4 p.m. Come and browse. The exhibits are unusual and a "must see." Group tours, by appointment, are always welcome. Members will have a display and literature at the Walnutport Canal Festival on October 24. Please stop by and lend your support. Plans are moving along for the tenth anniversary dinner to be held at the Lehigh Township Fire Company in Cherryville on November 6, from 4 to 6 p.m. An "olde fashioned turkey dinner" will be served by the Country Garden to celebrate ten years of the historical society's service to the community. A platter of turkey, potato or filling, vegetable, salad, roll, beverage, and dessert will be served. The society members have gathered many pictures and will have displays which will reflect the history of Lehigh Township. The society has been actively working in the community and the picture presentation during the evening will provide insight as to who we are and the important work we have done over the past ten years to preserve the heritage of Continued on page 9

one business permission to expand in a conservation district. Dr. Mack said that the hauling business should be re-located to an industrial zone, where “they can expand until the cows come home.” Dr. Mack wants the ordinance rescinded. Backenstoe said she should file an appeal with the zoning officer and then go to the ZHB. Moser said the board did not follow the state court order disallowing any expansion. “The issue smells of contract zoning,” Dr. Mack charged, and said the township would lose in court, calling the ordinance “unconstitutional and illegal.” Supervisor Brian Moser, who originally moved that the ordinance be adopted to get it on the table, but then voted against it, said Zoning Officer Laura Harrier didn’t know anything about the expansion request. Moser on Tuesday moved to rescind Part Three of the ordinance, which gives a special exception and conditional use, and this was seconded by Super-
visor Sandy Hopkins, who said she didn’t know of the court order. But Supervisor Keith Hantz asked for two more weeks before a vote is taken, and Moser and Ms. Hopkins agreed. Dr. Mack said the title of the ordinance implied ingress and egress, and this was not in the text. When the business was sold, McAuliffe wanted to expand and it was denied; he went to court and again it was denied, with the hours of operation also denied. The supervisors said they set hours so they wouldn’t interfere with school bus traffic. A resident questioned what extra income would be realized in the township with the McAuliffe expansion, believing that there will be more cost to maintain the condition of Timberline Drive. Engineer Phillip Malitsch said the hauling company, sold by McAuliffe to an out-of-state firm, would deal with Pa. D.E.P. and PennDOT. Backenstoe added that the township can impose weight restrictions. The resident was told that the township and school district would get thousands

With all the rain we’ve been having these last few weeks, keeping our homes dry and mold-free is quite an undertaking. Here is some advice on handling mold: • Try not to disturb mold colonies after you have located them. Air motion will send millions of viable spore into the air, cross-contaminating the rest of the room/structure. • When remodeling, if you open up ceilings or walls and find mold, stop until the hazard can be analyzed. Tearing out moldy building materials has the same effect as above. • Trying to kill mold with bleach or other fungicides does not remove the toxins from the air. A dead spore will continue to give off toxins until it is removed. • Mold will grow as long as there is enough moisture and a food source. Mold spores can stay dormant for up to 10 years until the right conditions can stimulate the growth. • Sealing and painting over mold does not kill the mold or remove the toxins. It is only a short-term fix while poor health symptoms will continue.

turn at Willow Rd. and Iron Wood and water overflows on to Blue Mountain Drive. Malitsch said several other locations were exacerbated by this summer’s heavy rains. • A Stateside Dr. resident also noted flooding in his garage. Malitsch said a 30-in. circular pipe was put in by the township road crew. High intensity storms have caused surges, more than can be drained away in a short time. He suggested enlarging a swale on the resident’s property. Malitsch recommended that an engineer be hired to check out the problem. • A Mayberry Dr. property owner also has drainage from water west of his land, and run-off has come in from the road. Property owners are encouraged to take measures on their land, but with township approval. • Spring Dr. has ruts on a curve near Timberline, and ice forms with the waters that collect in the winter. Malitsch will check it out. * Manager Alice Rehrig reported that fall leaf collections will occur from Oct. 17 to Dec. 5.
Exchange Club’s Jack Frost Parade Set for Oct. 20 The 63rd annual Jack Frost Parade, presented by the Northampton Exchange Club, will take place on Thursday evening, October 20, beginning at 7 pm in the borough of Northampton. The route will be the same,
beginning at the corner of Laubach Ave and Smith Lane. The registration fee for groups is $25 unless nonprofit status can be proven. Any group or business looking to participate with a float in the parade should contact Sarah at thejackfrostparade@ gmail.com for entry information. The parade rain date will be Thursday, Oct 27th. As you can imagine, the parade costs quite a bit more to run than it takes in, and donations have been lighter than usual because of economic times. If you would like to see the parade continue, please donate whatever you can. Drop boxes will be located at Miller Ace Hardware, Newhart's Pharmacy, Taylor Roasted Coffee, and Northampton Coin & Jewelry. Donations can also be mailed to the Northampton Exchange Club, P.O. Box 323, Northampton, PA 18067.

Other Matters • Two of three residents who had applied were appointed to the Lehigh Township Planning Commission – Thomas Ball and Mike McDermott. • Conditional final approval, subject to the planning commission and the engineer, was given the Dieter’s Landing /Cherryville Estate lot line adjustment. However, it is part of another plan, which had been pending. This plan was withdrawn, conditioned upon sale of the property. The improvements agreement was terminated. A 12-month extension of time was given the earlier plan. • A lot line adjustment for Amey/Giovatto was approved, also subject to the planners and engineer letters, as was the Beltzner Acres minor subdivision that was given conditional final approval. • The Kenneth Walters three-lot minor subdivision was given an extension to Oct. 30, 2011. • It was recommended that a backstop be made larger at the Diehl shooting range. The police will check it out. • The Lehigh Township Historical Society is working with the zoning officer as they plan a small addition to their present center in Pennsville. • Malitsch discussed the Willow Rd. gabion wall rehabilitation off Blue Mountain Drive. The gabions were put in by the township in the 1980’s but have fallen apart from storms and rushing water. He said they could qualify for a permit from D.E.P. and the Army Corps of Engineers. Malitsch was authorized to research what if anything can be done. There is a 90-degree

Nazareth church to hear Shoe box gifts story Raised in a Galati, Romania orphanage, Livia Satterfield’s life was changed by an Operation Christmas Child shoe box. Fifteen years later, she will be sharing her story at Maranatha Family Christian Fellowship in Nazareth on Saturday, Sept. 24. She will tell her experience on how the shoe box was the first gift she ever received and that now she has had the opportunity to hand out shoe boxes to children in situations similar to her own. As part of Ms. Satterfield’s story she will tell how local residents can get involved in touching the lives of children. Operation Christmas Child is a project of an international relief organization, Samaritan’s Purse. It will hand-de-
liver more than 8.5 million shoe box gifts to hurting children in some 200 countries this year. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child – the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind – has distributed more than 86 million shoe box gifts to children in 130 countries. The program on Sept. 24 at 12:00 Noon will inform the community about Operation Christmas Child and how to participate in the program. Maranatha Family Christian Fellowship is located at 450 Jacobsburg Rd., Nazareth.

What Might Have Been What might have been had I made a different choice? Could I have averted unwelcome and harsh consequences? What might have been if I had refrained from uttering those unkind words? Did that argument alter my relationship with that individual for life? What might have been if I had been just a few minutes earlier? Would the accident have happened? Might I have avoided serious injury? What if I had been the first to quote the job? Might I have had a better opportunity of getting the order? What might have been if I had saved that bonus check rather than spend it? Might I now be debt free? What might have been if I had decided to stop and help rather than zoom on by? Was guilt now stealing what could have been a blessing? “What might have been” is a question we can ponder many times over. But chances are high there will be no definitive answer. We can only suppose how different things might have been if we had taken that job offer, or gotten out of bed a few minutes earlier, or spent our hard earned money with a bit more discretion. We can ponder what might have been in regard to our own decisions and choices but we also affected by the choices made by everyone around us. Many of the “what might have been’s” may be somewhat insignificant. Yet, sometimes even the little things can make a huge difference. Consider the account of one of America’s presidents, William McKinley when he was planning to appoint an ambassador to a foreign country. There were two candidates under consideration whose qualifications were almost equal. President McKinley searched his mind for some kind of measurement whereby he might be able to decide the true greatness of the men in question. He later confided that the self-centeredness of the one and the kindness of the other were the deciding factors in his decision. Many years before when McKinley was a representative in Congress, he had boarded a street car at rush hour and managed to get the last vacant seat. Shortly thereafter an elderly woman carrying a large basket boarded the train. She walked the length of the car and stood in the aisle clutching her basket, hardly able to stand as the car swayed from side to side as it sped down the tracks. No one offered her a seat. One of the men whom the president was now considering for the ambassadorship was sitting opposite where the elderly woman was standing. Mr. McKinley noticed that he shifted his newspaper in order to avoid eye contact with the lady. Seeing the lady’s predicament, McKinley rose to his feet, walked down the aisle, took her basket, and offered her his seat. The candidate never knew that this small act of selfishness had deprived him of perhaps the crowning honor of his lifetime. As the president considered his options, he recalled the incident and decided to appoint the other man as his ambassador. “What might have been,” wasn’t. A failure to show kindness when the opportunity afforded itself cost him the position. Every minute of every day opportunities may present themselves to us. If we choose wisely how to handle them there is no need to fret and wonder “what might have been.” We can move ahead with confidence. “What is” is good… and the question “what might have been” will go unasked!

part of the Penn State Team Horse Power program. Both Ingrid and Nicole participated in workshops designed to help them teach safety and basic horsemanship skills, and will be helping to organize local horsemanship skill program for youth. Working as a team, Northampton County 4-H members competed in the Penn State Achievement Day Hippology contest, held at Penn State University in July. Hippology uses a series of hands-on stations designed to test the 4-H members’ knowledge and skills about horses and their care. The 2011 team representing Northampton County finished first in the state in the junior competition. This is a very large accomplishment illustrating the dedication that our youth have to their horses and each other. The first place team consisted of Allison Moyer, Caitlyn Gallagher, who placed third individually, and Nicole Fox, who placed fifth. For additional practice, the team next competed in Hippology at Ag Progress Days in August, where Nicole Fox placed seventh overall in the intermediate division. Allison Moyer placed ninth in horse judging in the senior division, and Caitlin Gallagher was third individually in the written, intermediate division. The teammates are working hard to increase their knowledge and skills in the hope of advancing to the national competition in Louisville, Kentucky. More than 150 youth are members of nine 4-H horse clubs in Northampton County. Youth participate in a wide variety of 4-H horse activities and events and are eligible to take part in all 4-H activities held throughout the state. Many clubs organize field trips to the World Horse Expo and other equine events, invite guest speakers to their club meetings, and participate in community service projects. The youth learn how to care for their horses, serve as officers of their clubs and learn public speaking skills by presenting demonstrations at their meetings. Anyone interested in learning more about the 4-H horse club program should contact Donna Foulk, Equine Natural Resources and 4-H Extension Educator at 610-746-1970 or Jan Martin, 4-H Horse Program assistant, at 610-837-7294.

Sunday hunting Continued from page 1
hikers, backpackers and bird watchers who enjoy the state game lands on Sundays during hunting season. He also said concerns about Pa. Wildlife Conservation Officers being able to enforce trespassing laws if farmers decide to post no Sunday hunting signs on their property, saying that it might be easier to just not allow hunting at all on their farms. John Evans, R – Erie, chair of the Game and Fisheries committee, responded to the Grange’s accusation that hunters would be a threat to others on the game lands. “There were one million hunters in the Pennsylvania woods last season and only two fatalities, including one self-inflicted. It’s statistically much more dangerous to go horseback riding than to go into the woods with hunters,” Evans said. Committee member Edward Staback, D-Lackawanna, pointed out that farmers who post no hunting bulletins, should the bill pass, will not be eligible for the Pa. Farm Co-Op red-tag program. The red-tag program allows farmers to harvest deer that are causing damage to their crops outside of hunting season. Ray Mack, president of the Northampton and Monroe Farm Bureau, reiterated his organization’s support for the Sunday hunting ban.

Mack says that farmers don’t have much time to rest. “Farmers work six days a week. We don’t need to be bothered on Sundays,” Mack said. Many members of the House committee, including Stabeck and Evans, appeared to be in favor of H.B. 1760, while other local representative: Marcia Hahn, Joe Emrick, R-Northampton, and Doyle Heffley, R-Carbon, expressed reservations. “My conversations with farmers echo what Ray Mack is saying, if this bill passes more property will be restricted to hunters,” Emrick said. Tim Reiger, Vice President of the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the pro-hunting Safari Club, disagreed. “Farmers will be begging us to come back in a few years if they post no hunting signs on their property with all the deer damage that would be inflicted on their crops,” he said. Another public hearing on Sunday hunting will take place in Harrisburg in October. (See Outdoors for more comment.)

“shall” and which they want it to be amended to “may”). Those supporting 1760 are the Sportsmen’s Alliance, N.R.A. and National Shooting Sports Foundation. Delegate Lee Marsh said that the day the bill was introduced, a number of farm-game cooperators dropped out of the program. Kline said it is a private property issue. Joe Neville of the PGC spoke about youth field days, and said the program that started in 1991 could be a Family Field Day. Many hundreds of children participate. Neville said that with more mentors, they can be involved all year in outdoor sports. PGC Deputy Executive Director Matt Hough reported
that there was $3.5-million damage to their property from the recent storms, including the loss of 40,000 pheasants at the Loyalsock Game Farm. Marsh reported that 120 deer died at the Kleintop Farm in Danielaville because of a small insect bite that killed them in 4 to 5 days. It’s called E.H.D. (Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease) and the killing of deer from the virus that is spread to the whitetails won’t stop until frost kills the gnat-like insect. (More on this in other reports). Conservation and firearms committee reports were also given over the weekend. Saturday morning and afternoon were devoted to the dialogue between experts called in by the Keystone Energy Forum and PFSC to discuss with all the sportsmen the effects of Marcellus Shale. It was mostly all positive, with many figures given on the number of four-acre well sites, the drilling, and the water impoundments at each well site. Slides also showed how the land is reclaimed after the natural gas is drilled upward from thousands of feet under the surface horizontally. The PGC sees the wells as a means of providing additional funds for habitat, and working with industry they feel it will benefit wildlife. A DCNR spokesman said that Pennsylvania’s state forests exceed the size of Yellowstone National Park. One of the main reasons for state forests is to protect the water resource. Natural gas development has been going on since 1947. There are 125,000 sites, 3,900 of them Marcellus Shale, with 35 wells on a single pad. Pa.

Game commission confirms EHD in local wild deer
Pennsylvania Game Commission officials this week announced that test results from a wild deer have confirmed that epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) has been found in Northampton County. This sample was collected Aug. 18. EHD also has been confirmed in captive deer in Northampton County in the vicinity of the wild deer. Additionally, one captive deer in Erie County was confirmed to have died of EHD, based on a sample collected Aug. 13. Residents are encouraged to call their respective Game Commission region office to report dead or sick deer. Contact information is available on page 5 of the 2011-12 Pennsylvania Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations, and also on the agency’s website (www.pgc.state. pa.us) by clicking on “About Us” in the menu bar at the top of the page and then selecting “Regional Information.” EHD is a common but sporadic disease in white-tailed deer populations of the United States, and is contracted by the bite of insects called “biting midges.” In more northern states, such as Pennsylvania, EHD occurs less often and affected deer are less
likely to mount an effective immune response. The virus usually kills the deer within five to 10 days. It is not spread from deer to deer by contact. While EHD is not infectious to humans, deer displaying severe symptoms of EHD are usually not suitable for consumption because of the rapid deterioration of the meat and secondary bacterial infection. “Reports of dead or dying deer are important to us,” said Doug Killough, PGC Southeast Region Office director. “Though an actual count of afflicted deer is impossible to obtain, because of rapid decomposition and the area where the outbreak is occurring, we still value these reports. Also, tissue samples must be extracted within 24 hours of death to be suitable for conducting tests. That is why it is so important that we hear from residents as soon as possible after they find a suspect deer.” There is no evidence that humans are at risk from EHD, but other diseases could be transmitted by careless hygiene when processing deer. “As a routine precaution, all hunters are encouraged to wear rubber or latex gloves Continued on page 16

any animal, and wash their hands and tools thoroughly after field dressing,” Killough said. “As with any wild game, meat should always be thoroughly cooked. “Even though some EHD symptoms are similar to those of chronic wasting disease (CWD) – such as excessive drooling, weakness and a loss of fear of humans – there is no relationship between EHD and CWD. However, because these diseases coexist, deer submitted for EHD testing also are being tested for CWD.” EHD is one of those diseases in which the mortality rate

While the disease is not spread through deerto-deer contact, congregating animals through feeding does make transmission easier by allowing midges that carry the virus greater access to a larger number of animals in a more confined area. Therefore, such feeding activities should be discontinued immediately. In 1996, EHD was suspected to be the cause of death in nearly 25 deer in Adams County, but test results in that case were inconclusive. Other outbreaks in Pennsylvania were confirmed in 2002 and 2007.
