Auditor General finds nearly $315,000 missing from Lehigh Twp. VFRA; results in over 300 charges being filed Submitted by GARY MILLER Auditor General Eugene DePasquale commented on theft, forgery and other charges filed against Corey Cole, the former treasurer of the Lehigh Township Volunteer Fireman’s Relief Association in Northampton County related to $314,933.94 in missing funds. The relief association is legally separate from the township’s volunteer fire company, but provides support. “I applaud the Lehigh Township VFRA’s leadership for bringing the alleged theft to my attention last summer,” DePasquale said. “My office worked with
local law enforcement to help the investigation. Last week my team provided the local police department with a report outlining 377 instances of alleged theft amounting to nearly $315,000 in funds missing between 2011 and 2018.” In December, DePasquale took the unprecedented step of withdrawing past audits of the support organization and ordering a new review to be performed. The revised audit will be released in the near future. “The association’s current leadership has been very cooperative in our efforts to account for the
Edelman Schoolhouse listed In National Registry of Historical Places Submitted by KAREN GRUBE The Moore Township Historical Commission held their monthly meeting on March 28 at the township municipal building. During the meeting, chairman and township supervisor Dick Gable announced that he received a notification from April Frantz, a National Register Reviewer, that the Edelman Schoolhouse was listed in the National Registry of Historical Places on March 22. The school was the only site accepted on March 22 from the state of Pennsylvania. The Edelman Schoolhouse is a circa 1859 schoolhouse and is located at 145 Longley Road in Nazareth. The schoolhouse is surrounded by farm fields and remains a rural agricultural landscape. To be considered eligible for the registry, the site must meet strict criteria. The building retains a foyer with original shelves used to store lunchboxes and a bench that children could sit on
to take off coats and boots. The main classroom retains original flooring, wainscoting, woodwork and a milled wooden board ceiling. There is a raised platform reserved for the teacher and a teacher’s desk. This platform allowed for the teacher’s voice to carry throughout the classroom. The main classroom still retains the original slate chalkboard. The work on the school that is finished is the cleaning and placement of salvaged matching bricks to fill in part of an outside wall. The wall was opened up for a door that allowed farm machinery to be placed in the building. The roof has been patched. Inside work included plaster restoration and sealing of woodwork. Thank you to commission members, volunteers and contractors for finishing these projects. The placement of the school on the historical register allows the commission to apply for grants Continued on page 9
tax dollars it has received,” DePasquale added. The Department of the Auditor General audits volunteer firefighters’ relief associations, which receive state aid from a two percent state tax on fire insurance premiums purchased by Pennsylvania residents from out-of-state
casualty insurance companies. In 2018, 2,518 municipalities received $55.1 million in state aid for distribution to local volunteer firefighters’ relief associations to provide training, purchase equipment and insurance, and pay for death benefits for volunteer firefighters.
Looking Ed byPany Back Dillinger Part 1
The year is 1934; I am visiting the Lehigh Portland Cement Co. plant in Mason City, Iowa. 1934 is a depression year; agriculture areas and cement plants surround the city, so it was slightly better financially than neighboring communities. An event occurred there bringing national attention to the midwestern community. In 1934, John Dillinger, public enemy, and his gang were involved in a number of sensational bank robberies. Dillinger sent advanced men to case the First National Bank in Mason City, which had $240,000 in cash in its vaults, a considerable amount of money for the time. Many of the depositors were employees of the Lehigh Cement plant. Dillinger was a daring bank robber. He and his gang made newspaper headlines for 13 months in 1933-34 including a prison break when Dillinger used a homemade wooden gun stained with black shoe polish to trick prison authorities in an escape from an “escape proof ” county jail in Crown Point, Indiana.
The officials at the First National Bank had been warned they might be robbed some day. They had an armed guard in a cage in the lobby of the bank. At 2:20 p.m., three gang members waving machine guns ordered all employees and customers on the floor. They grabbed $32,000 from the teller’s cage, but were unable to steal the treasure in the vault. Instead, they took a heavy sack filled with pennies. There was confusion on the sidewalks in front of the bank when the robbers marched customers and employees out onto the sidewalks as hostages. Gunfire filled the streets; one of the shooters was “Baby Faced” Nelson. The gang loaded bank employees and depositors into their black Buick. Some hostages were placed on the running boards as Continued on page 2

Herbert Dillinger would eventually be shot by the FBI as he and his girlfriend left the Biograph Theatre in Chicago, being betrayed by his girlfriend’s landlady. Dillinger died at the age of 31. Lehigh Heidelberg continues to operate a plant in Mason City. Old timers still recall the day

Police Reports Arrest made at Turkey Hill, Sterners Way
Turkey Hill Asset Protection viewed Tarissa Landis, 19 of Northampton, while employed as a cashier, give away merchandise and voided transactions from Dec. 17, 2018 to March 7, 2019.
Theft by deception charges will be filed with DJ Zumas office.
Retail theft at Walmart
While Colonial Regional police offers were at the Walmart at 3722 Easton Naz. Highway on an unrelated incident, the defendant Andrew Edelman, 23 of Easton, walked out of the Walmart pushing a shopping cart full of merchandise that he failed to pay for. Walmart employees
observed him walk out to his vehicle. The employee informed the police of the theft and police officers converged on his vehicle. Edelman was observed throwing the items into his vehicle. He was apprehended by police officers. A records check on the defendant showed he had an outstanding warrant out of Easton City. Edelman was transported to CRPD headquarters where he was processed on the theft charges. He was transported to Northampton County CBC arraignment.
Fake money exchanged for PS4
CRPD responded to a report of a theft with the victim following the actors. An officer located the victim and the actors traveling east on Hecktown Road. A traffic stop was conducted on the suspects’ vehicle. Police spoke to the victim, who also stopped, who stated that he made arrangements on OfferUp to sell his PS4 for $500. He met the buyer at CRPD Headquarters to conduct the transaction in the “Safe Zone” parking lot of the police station. After he received the money from the buyer, he noticed the money didn’t feel or look right. All the money had the same serial numbers and was stamped “Motion Picture Money.” The victim began following the buyer and trying to contact him via the OfferUp app. The buyer did not respond, so the victim called the police. The vehicle was driven by Sean Verbics and the victim identified Daniel Torres-Lopez as the one who exited Verbics vehicle, gave him the money, took the PS4, and returned to Verbics vehicle. After being Mirandized by police, Verbics related that he got the “money” from a friend awhile ago, knew what they were doing was wrong, was nervous to do
www.HomeNewsPA.com
the transaction, and Torres-Lopez said he would do it, so they gave him the money. Police conducted a search of Verbics’s vehicle and located a digital scale under the driver’s seat and a heat seal bag that contained approximately 26 grams of marijuana tucked in with the owner’s manual in the glove box. Verbics and TorresLopez were charged with Forgery and Conspiracy, both felonies, and theft by deception, a Misdemeanor 1. Verbics was also charged with Possession of small amount of marijuana and paraphernalia, both misdemeanors.
Vehicle theft
Some time between April 3 and 4, an actor(s) traveled onto a property in the area of Linda Lane in Laurys Station, entered the victim’s unlocked van and attempted to push the vehicle from the property. The vehicle subsequently rolled east down Linda Lane and crossed over the intersecting roadway (Route 145). The vehicle struck a tree on another property. The actor(s) then fled the scene. It is believed this incident is connected to several other Continued on page 5

GAB OVER THE FENCE by Pete G. Ossip
I told you a couple weeks ago that the Bath Area Fish Committee was planning a clean-up of the Monocacy Creek before their annual kids’ trout fishing contest. Well, that time is this Saturday, April 20 starting at 9 a.m. Where are you volunteers? The committee needs your help to clean up the debris left over from winter. I suppose they’ll be starting near the bridge at the rear of the Bath Republican Club. That’s where most of the kids drop their lines in. The actual fish stocking will be next Friday, April 26, at 4 p.m.
Hatchery trucks will be coming to the creek, and the committee will be releasing the trout. The contest will be next Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be 20 prize fish available for the kids to catch, I hear. Any donations are being accepted for the purchase of the fish for stocking. The Home News will have freelance writer Keri Lindenmuth on hand to take pictures of the nice catches. Who knows? Your picture may get in the paper! . . . .Normally, five to seven deer come out of a forest to feed in a field behind Ye Olde Editor’s house every night as the sun is setting. Tuesday evening, none of them showed. The deer were as if mourning the loss of one of their doe. She was killed Monday night when venturing

out on Rt. 512. The deer didn’t re-appear until Wednesday and on Thursday, three of them went into Ye Ed’s yard. He’s hoping that drivers slow down, and he doesn’t want to see any more deer run over. Now that he’s old, no more hunting – just enjoy watching the deer. . .Last Tuesday there was breaking news that the rifle deer hunting opening day was changed after all these years from the Monday after Thanksgiving to the Saturday after the holiday. The Game Commission voted 5-3 to make the change, even though the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen and Conservationists didn’t want to change, since they set up their hunting cabins on Saturday. I guess they’ll just hafta do it another day. Wonder what Ye Ed’s son, Kevin, who’s with the PGC, thinks about the change? . . . . Happy 89th birthday, Verna C. Cupcakes for all. . . . The kids had a great time in their Easter egg hunt on Saturday in the field next to Ahart’s Market in Bath. The same goes with the big one held over on the municipal field in Northampton, and with all the others held by churches. . . . And speaking of churches, some will have sunrise or dawn services this Sunday, while others may be at their regular time. But no matter what, He is risen! It’s Easter Sunday. Let’s fill all those pews as we worship!!

Schoolhouse Continued from page 1
that will finish future work. Remaining work includes painting of walls and trim, restoration of windows and shutters, and restoration of the front door. On February 5, 1859, the schoolhouse property was gifted by John and Elizabeth Best Edelman for the sum of $1 to the Moore Township Common School District. The land consisted of 12 and ¾ perches, or over 0.75 acres. The Edelman Schoolhouse offered an education to children ages 6 to 14. The school housed grades 1 to 8. At the end of eighth grade, children that passed a school exam went on to high school. Beginning with the 1951-1952 school year, only children in grades 1 to 6 were educated at the school. It was the year 1958 when the Edelman Schoolhouse closed. Students were sent to the newly formed Moore Township Consolidated Elementary School near Klecknersville. The following year it was sold at auction to Walter and Goldie Sterner and John and Erma Serencises. In 1997 the property and schoolhouse were sold to Fred Jaindl. Then in 2013, the estate of Fred Jaindl gifted the school to Moore Township for the sum of $1. Restoration of the schoolhouse together with supervisors and historical commission mem-
bers was started in 2014. School was never cancelled. Students walked to school in all kinds of weather. They brought lunch and drank water that was obtained with a bucket from a nearby farm and then stored the school’s stoneware water crock dispenser. The school was heated with a coal burning potbelly stove. The original stove still survives and will be taken out of storage and placed in the school after restoration. There was no indoor plumbing, only an outhouse. Only one teacher taught the students during a school year. The last teacher that taught at the Edelman Schoolhouse was Mr. John Bensing. Mr. Bensing and his family are well-known and longtime residents of Moore Township. Mr. Bensing start-
ed his career in education after graduating from Nazareth High School. His first assignment was teaching at Christ Church/Little Moore One Room Schoolhouse. Then he went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in teaching from East Stroudsburg. Later he was asked to accept a teaching position at Edelman Schoolhouse to replace Mrs. Katherine Day. After the closing of the school, Mr. Bensing continued his career in education with the Northampton School District. Mr. Bensing enjoyed his time at the Edelman Schoolhouse. According to Mr. Pany’s news articles in The Home News, Mr. Bensing’s memories included the times he brought in cans of Cambell’s Soup for students to enjoy. Students that brought in their own spoon and cup could share in
the soup that was heated on the potbelly stove. Mr. Bensing also remembered the Christmas plays that the students put on for their parents. If you are able to make a donation towards continued restoration, please make your check payable to the Moore Township Edelman School at 2491 Community Drive, Bath or contact Charmaine Bartholomew, chairperson, at 610-759-7696. Congratulations to commission members Charmaine Bartholomew, Helene Mery, Janet Kline, Vernell Meyers, Kim Silfies, Karen Grube, Robert Vasile, Arthur Edelman, Dan Tanczos and Richard Gable for a job well done.

Home Improvement
Home improvements that really pay off Hgtv.com
Check your Insulation
"This is one of the easiest ways to control your energy costs. Effective insulation slows the rate that heat flow out of the house in winter or into the house in the summer, so less energy is required to heat or cool the house. If your house has no wall insulation, and it has more-or-less
continuous wall cavities (such as conventional wall studs), blown-in insulation can greatly improve your comfort and save enough energy to be very cost-effective," explains contractor Justin Krzyston.
Replace your Old furnace
Replacing your aging furnace now, could mean major cost savings in the long run. Justin Krzyston explains, "If
your furnace was built before 1992 and has a standing pilot, it probably wastes 30 to 40 percent of the fuel it uses, and is probably near the end of its service life."
Install a Programmable Thermostat
Updating your thermostat to one that can be programmed throughout the day, can cut electricity costs and be enticing for potential home buyers. Justin Krzyston says, "many thermostats now can be controlled remotely via your iPhone. Staying upto-date with technology will entice buyers to pay more for user-friendly home functions."
Add crown Molding
Crown molding adds style and height to any room, and is an inexpensive upgrade.

"It will immediately make the room feel more elegant. You can find pre-cut molding at most home improvement stores," explains Justin Krzyston.
Update your Kitchen cabinets
The kitchen is the heart of the home and updating the cabinets will be enticing to potential buyers. Justin Krzyston says, "Cabinets will be the most costly to replace, however, you can cut costs by refinishing existing cabinets with paint and changing the hardware, rather than replacing the cabinets entirely."
Replace outdated Countertops
Updating kitchen countertops can be a costly renovation, however, new countertops can be a major selling point for buyers. "Homeowners can easily take off existing countertops and replace them with a new slab of stone. I am a huge fan of Silestones solid colors, and they come in large pieces, so you have fewer
seams. New countertops and new cabinets will update your kitchen immediately, which in the long run, will help sell your home faster," says Justin Kryzston.
Install Multipurpose Landscaping
Curb appeal is important to potential buyers, so be sure your home looks as great outside as it does inside before putting it on the market. Justin Krzyston explains his tips on creating great outdoor appeal: "To increase future resale value, it is always a good idea to power wash your porch, clean your windows and put away your garbage bins where they cannot be seen from the front of the house. Renovations aren't always necessary to increase resale value, but in most cases it helps. Adding landscaping and large bushes are the easiest ways to camouflage outdoor garbage bins. Plus, landscaping is always a good investment if you are focused on selling your home."

Penn State Extension offers Spotted Lanternfly Permit training Workshop Submitted by DORA BOYD SIMONS Penn State Extension, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, will hold a live-streamed Spotted Lanternfly Permit Training workshop from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday, April 25, at the Gracedale Nursing Home Tower One Conference Room (2 Gracedale Avenue Nazareth, Pennsylvania 18064). Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive insect from Asia that was discovered in Berks County in 2014. This pest has the potential to cause considerable damage to Pennsylvania’s agricultural industry. To help contain the spread of the Spotted Lanternfly, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has identified a 14-county quarantine zone and is requiring businesses, agencies and organizations that move vehicles, equipment and goods within and out of the quarantined area to obtain a permit. The Spotted Lanternfly Permit Training for Businesses is designed as a “train the trainer” course for designated employees. Once employees successfully pass the course exam, their companies will receive Spotted Lanternfly permits for company vehicles from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Employees then also will be responsible for training fellow employees to work in the quarantine zone without inadvertently spreading these insects and endangering agriculture and commerce. There is no
cost to register, and although it is not required, registration it is encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome, but registered participants will receive preference if location capacity is met. Registration is available online at https://extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternflypermit-training-for-businesses or by calling 1-877-345-0691.

You could be like Tiger Woods By CAROL RITTER Tiger Woods spent 11 years in the wilderness, both professionally and personally. And on one brilliant, sunny afternoon in Augusta, Georgia on April 14, 2019, he proved a lesson that should reverberate through boardrooms and offices throughout the world. The lesson: no matter how seemingly massive, every one of your setbacks is just a comeback in disguise. *Jason Forrest So, how did he overcome a public divorce, an arrest for driving under the influence, a trip to rehab, five back surgeries and more? How did he do it, how did he win the Masters last Sunday? • He stayed focused • He believed in himself (possibly when everyone else didn’t) • He ignored the critics • He practiced until it became permanent • He persevered against all odds • He set a goal and focused on the goal every single day Some might call him the comeback kid or just another talented guy with a little bit of luck, but when it comes to winning the Masters after 11 years of incredible setbacks, some self imposed, he made sports history at 43 years old. How many times have you or someone you know suffered years of what we might call a stream of bad luck: .a lost job, a missed promotion, a divorce, a failed project, loss of a spouse, or even loss of your business? At the end of the day, you can be like Tiger and create your very own Masters comeback, take out your golf club, surround yourself with believers and move forward in your like to win the Masters. You decide.

Sermonette His Life – Our life By FRANKLIN HOMME What comes to mind when you think of the word sacrifice? Do you associate it with loss? Although that is part of it, sacrifice also implies the surrender of one thing for the sake of something more precious. What you are offering to God – it will never equal what you’ll receive from Him. (Hebrews 10:10) Jesus’s journey down the Via Dolorosa led to His death and resurrection. Because of His sacrifice, we trust Him for the forgiveness of our sins. Christ sacrifice was what God desired what our sin required. Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifice and offering you did no desire, but a body you prepared for me;” He said, “Here I am, I come to do your will.” Death did not end the Savior’s role as our High Priest. After the resurrection, Christ ascended to Heaven, where He sits at the right hand side of Father and intercedes for us. We never thought about what a privilege it is to live in the era after the cross. Today every believer has instant access we are; we can call on Him for forgiveness and help. When Jesus Christ died on Calvary’s cross, the curtain in front of the Holy of Holes was torn from top to bottom as God opened a new and living way to approach Him; through the blood of His son. When we trust in Christ and His sacrifice on our behalf, He cleanses us from all sins and invites us to draw near Him (James 4;8). To be a living sacrifice requires submission in obedience to God’s will. Let us look forward to the coming of Christ, and love His appearing, for it is then our bodies will experience resurrection. The coming is not death. Death does not bring an end of life. Instead, it is the very beginning of life in the all its fullness. If we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. Here’s something to consider; a living sacrifice emphasizes not death but life. We read about
the Holy week, the final days before Jesus’s crucifixion. We read in the Bible about the road Jesus traveled to the cross through the streets of Jerusalem is known today as the Via Dolorosa, the way of sorrows. This abiding relationship is what the Bible elsewhere describes as the Spirit –filled life (Eph.5:18). Our heavenly Father has graciously given us this abiding relationship, but sometimes we act as if we’re the vine and Christ exists to do our bidding. In which areas of our life
April 18-24, 2019 13
are you reluctant to relinquish control? We were designed to be branches, and the only way we’ll be fruitful is by submissively abiding in the source of our life. I heard a preacher on the radio say, “When everything becomes sacrifice with God everything else becomes sacrifice.” I hope you are thinking this Easter what he did for us and the true meaning of Easter. Happy Easter!

“Behold The Lamb of God”
When John the Baptist saw Jesus Christ he prophetically proclaimed, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29). The Old Testament is filled with types, symbols, promises, and prophecies all pointing to the fact that Jesus would be the Lamb of God. This major truth is taught from the Bible’s first book, Genesis, to the last, Revelation, in which the Lamb of God is mentioned 29 times alone! There in Revelation 13:8, Christ is spoken of as “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” meaning that even before God created this world, He made provision for the sins of a fallen race. In Genesis 22 God instructed Abraham to take Isaac, his son of promise, to the mountain of Moriah to sacrifice him for a burnt offering. Abraham made the three-day journey with his son. As they neared the location, Isaac noted they had fire and wood, but he asked, “Where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Abraham answered “My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering.” At the site, Abraham built the altar, arranged the wood, and tied up his only son on the altar. As he took the knife to slay his son, the Lord stopped him, and provided a ram as the substitute sacrifice. Interestingly, Mount Moriah is Calvary where Jesus was crucified on the cross. We see a double type of Christ here. First, Abraham is a type of God the Father Who gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, pictured by Isaac, to be sacrificed for our sins on Calvary. In the second type, we see God providing the substitute sacrifice of His Son, Jesus the Lamb of God, pictured by the ram (male lamb). Isaac pictures each member of the human race who must die for his sins because “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Next week I will continue this subject under the title of “The Passover Lamb.” – Written by Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark

Winsome Moon
By Charles McIlhaney Jr. The beginning of spring this year (March 20) coincided with the full moon on the first month (Full Worm Moon). I suspect the moon has evoked awe and wonder and fanciful musings since earliest man became capable of abstract thought. And still today, man’s fascination for the mystical orb has not waned. We assign each full moon a name, while we watch for blue moons, super moons, blood moons, and eclipsing shadows of its dance with the Earth and sun. The morning sky blazes in fiery hue, As the sun calls men to work anew. With grim measure of ancient vowAn hour of life for an hour of now. Yet, to terms of infinity, lends not a clue. The starts only gaze in silent gleam, With nary a word of eternity’s scheme. Muted eyes in the night, Wink not to comfort a mortal’s plight, Nor in aye, confirm his Heavenly dreams. But the Moon lulls in winsome tones, Tales of everlasting thrones. By enchantment of its glow, Whispers ever sweet and low Tales to men, they etch in stone. The next full moon occurs Friday, April 19 (Full Pink Moon). Take a good long look-and listen.

But let me start from the beginning… A few days before the torrential rain and gusty winds, LaRue and I discovered a tiny little leak in the ceiling right above our bed. When I say tiny, I mean a drip every ten minutes or so. As we watched the drip, it was decided that since we were teens, surely, we could figure out how to fix the hole without telling my parents. As I remember, the conversation went something like this, “ Do you think we can fix the hole?” asked LaRue.
“Maybe we could plug up the hole,” I replied. “I have some gum in my purse,” said LaRue. “It might work!” I exclaimed. LaRue got out of bed, walked to her purse, took out a piece of fruity gum and started chewing. When it was ready, I stood on the bed and pushed the wet, sticky wad up into the tiny hole. It seemed to do the trick. We turned off the light and went to sleep. During the night, LaRue woke me up and told me she had a wet foot. I turned on the light and noticed the gum we thought solved our problem was on top of our blanket, which was getting wet. We looked at each other and thought for a few minutes. Finally, LaRue said, “ I have an idea. We could use the plastic bag from the cleaners to stop the leak.” LaRue and I folded the bag and then used tacks to attach it to the ceiling. I took the wet blanket off and put on a dry one, then we both fell back to sleep. LaRue woke up about an hour later and poked my shoulder. “Cindy, look up.” I looked up and saw a bubble – not a small bubble but a rather large one, getting bigger by the second. We decided to watch it a little longer before we woke my folks. Mistake! Like a flash forward scene from a movie, the tacks flew in every direction and the nicely folded plastic bag filled with heavy rain water fell from the ceiling and landed on our bed. We were soaked! Picture this – two wet teens jumping out of bed – screaming with pink curlers escaping from their heads, flying here and there, wet pajamas and feet, pointing to the little hole that had mysteriously grown. Within a matter of minutes, we heard the sound of our doorknob turning, and the squeaking of the door opening, and there stood Mom and Dad with a questioning look on their faces. They could not believe their eyes. After a lot of explaining, and a punishment of washing the blankets, bedding, and mopping the floor, Mom and Dad walked out of our room, and closed the door. I remember hearing muffled laughter then, “Those girls are like two peas in a pod.” I thought to myself, yes, Mom, two wet peas in a pod!
