ships, are well known facets of its activities.

The special guest speaker for the banquet is David A Christian, one of America’s most highly decorated Vietnam War veterans.

After being severely wounded in action and enduring a long recovery, Christian used his experiences by working with government agencies and veterans organizations to help fellow veterans return to health and a productive civilian life. Christian’s life, acts of valor and service are chronicled in his autobiography, Victor Six. Today, David Christian is a businessman in Bucks County, a veteran’s Continued on page 11

Pennsylvania adds 28 Farms, nearly 2,800 acres To preservation program Submitted by NICHOLE WILLIAMS Pennsylvania’s Agricultural Land Preservation Board today safeguarded 2,778 additional acres on 28 farms in 13 counties through the state’s nationally renowned farmland preservation program.

The board preserved farms in Bedford, Bucks, Center, Chester, Cumberland, Erie, Lancaster, Mercer, Montgomery, Northampton, Schuylkill, Susquehanna and Wayne counties.

Since the program began in 1988, federal, state, county and local governments have invested more than $1.2 billion to preserve 489,409 acres on 4,586 farms in 57 counties for future agricultural production.

“The best agriculture land is often the best land for development, but our farmland preservation program ensures prime soils stay in farming,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig. “I thank the producers who want to preserve their land and the people behind the scenes who make it happen.

Together, we’re preserving agriculture, the cornerstone of Pennsylvania’s economy.”

The Pennsylvania Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase Program identifies properties and slows the loss of prime farmland to non-agricultural uses. It enables state, county and local governments to purchase conservation easements, also Continued on page 11

Pennsylvania records lowest Number of traffic deaths ever Submitted by SHAWN BROWN

The number of highway deaths on Pennsylvania roads tumbled to a record low last year when 1,208 were recorded, the lowest number since recordkeeping began in 1928, PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch announced recently.

"Though Pennsylvania has made significant progress in reducing highway crashes and deaths, our efforts to ensure that all travelers reach their destinations safely will remain paramount," Schoch said.

"However, our efforts cannot reach their potential if drivers refuse to do their part by observing traffic laws and always using common sense on our roads."

While the number of highway deaths dropped in many types of crashes, there were significant decreases noted in unbuckled, speeding and single vehicle run-off-the-road related deaths. Unbuckled fatalities dropped from 503 in 2012 to 425. Speeding-related fatalities also decreased from 262 in 2012 to 193 last year. Deaths at-

tributed to single-vehicle, runoff-the-road crashes declined to 566, down from 648 in 2012.

Another area where significant numbers were noted includes fatalities in crashes involving a drinking driver which decreased from 377 in 2012 to 342 last year, the lowest number since 1997 when this data collection began.

"Regardless of the recordlow number of highway deaths recorded this year, we must never forget that these aren't just random statistics, but rather they were somebody’s loved ones," Schoch said. "With that, we turn our attention to those crash areas where Pennsylvania saw an increase in fatalities."

Fatalities increased in some types of crashes, including those involving distracted drivers and in head-on or opposite direction side swipe crashes.

There were 64 fatalities in crashes involving distracted drivers, up from 57 in 2012.

Also, deaths in head-on or opposite direction side swipe crashes increased to 178 up from 148 in 2012.

PennDOT has invested $50 million over the last five years for safety improvements at approximately 4,000 locations.

These include low-cost safety measures such as centerline and edge-line rumble strips.

PennDOT also invests about $20 million annually in state and federal funds for safety education and enforcement efforts statewide.

Fatalities in crashes involving drivers ages 75 and older also increased to 142 from 126 in 2012. To help address safe driving in this age group, PennDOT offers information on approved Mature Driver Improvement courses available statewide, a brochure on talking with mature drivers and other safety tips at its highway safety information website, www.JustDrivePA.com<http:// www.JustDrivePA.com>.

Following is the total number of traffic fatalities in the counties encompassed by PennDOT District 5: Berks County, 42; Carbon County, 16; Lehigh County, 30; Monroe County, 25; Northampton County, 18; and Schuylkill County, 23.

We Are All Vulnerable

By Federico Gómez Pardo The perfection that has come with computers and the progress that this represents is something unimaginable.

The reality exceeds the best dreams. However, it has not yet been made any computer that is not vulnerable. Any new virus can ruin the work of many days or collapse the functioning of appliances and entire companies.

Plant breeding has done wonders in recent years. It has achieved many varieties of cultivated species of great output. It makes possible that agricultural production increased dramatically. But all is not advantages. These new species are more susceptible to pests and more demanding in climate and fertilizers.

Something similar has happened with animal breeding.

For example, there are cash cows with five times higher production than just 50 years ago. But they are very demanding animals in food and susceptible to certain diseases. They are also sensitive to environmental stress.

What about the human species? We have reached some indescribable heights of material welfare. Comfort, public health system, life expectancy, information systems, defense against heat or cold, communications, etc have increased.

But as machines, plants and animals, we remain vulnerable to new diseases like AIDS or the "mad cow disease", to air and rail accidents, to a possible nuclear catastrophe or a simple power outage that can put in check an entire

www.HomeNewsPA.com country, as we see happening from time to time, or even one single province as in Girona during the last snow storm.

These things do not settle easily improving infrastructure because demand increase in developed countries exceeds production increase. Living well has its price.

In the case of plants and animals, geneticists seek and try to preserve the rustic character of many traditional species as a way to defend the new species in front of adverse circumstances. It would not be wrong that men try something similar. This is not about we return to the Stone Age, but we should improve in sobriety and self-sacrifice. The third world has these qualities forced by circumstances.

We may recover them voluntarily in order to try to reduce our vulnerability. Could it be the crisis a good opportunity for it?

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip Easter was a wonderful holiday, sunny and warm. It couldn’t have been any better.

A nice day to relax after going to church, at dawn or later. Up at Salem in Moorestown they had a sunrise service on the cemetery. I saw an Easter egg hunt down on Chestnut St. with the kids looking for all the eggs and even one fellow mowing his lawn as the grass gets greener. It might be a bit cold at night, but in the daytime spring has sprung, so enjoy! . . . . Now that bowling leagues are finishing up, the guys have turned their attention to the golf courses hither and yon. And for the youngsters it’s softball and baseball time, and soccer, too. Once it really heats up, then they’ll be headed to swimming pools.

That is, after they’ve caught up with their school days that were extended because of all the snow we had this past winter. Oh, to be young again! . . . . The Phillies are having another bumpy start, the 76’ers are done mercifully, and the Flyers are hoping to do better in the playoffs. That’s Philly sports for you. . . . PennDOT crew smoothed over those ruts on Walnut Street, and

maybe in the not too distant future they’ll do that resurfacing they talk about. My flivver can take only so much potholes and cracking blacktop. . . . I wonder if any of those runners who went through town last week to promote the Boston Marathon were able to get up there for the run on Monday? After last year’s disaster with those homegrown bomb terrorists, it really brought people together.

Boston Strong will live on. . . . I just took notice the other day that the Bath Borough flag is now flying with the American and Pennsylvania flags down at Monocacy Crek Park. . . . Didn’t get to bed till real late Monday night, but it was worth it. Saw three games on TV and the teams I rooted for all won – our Phillies, 7-0 over the Dodgers, Pirates over the Reds, and the Mets over the Cards. . . .A note from Ye Ed to his neighbors Jack and Gail: “Welcome Home from sunny Florida” . . . . Now I better work on my lawn mower. The grass is starting to turn green, and there’s plenty of spring yard clean-up to do. Have a great week, gang!

Nature in Photographs Exhibition Concludes

Submitted by Dan R. Kunkle

Lehigh Gap Nature Center (LGNC) held its first Nature in Photographs exhibition from March 21 to April 5 and announced the winners of the judging and the People’s Choice Award. More than 200 people viewed the show. Anita Collins, LGNC Board President, thanked all the photographers who entered the show.

By all accounts, the first show was a resounding success. Fortyfour photographers submitted 123 digital images on line. For this first show, 50 images were accepted and the jury had a difficult job selecting the images that gained entry into the show. The panel also selected their winners of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category. The winning photogra-

It’s

phers were: Wildlife: Jim Greer, Dave Levandusky, and Richard Newton.

Scenic: Andrew Hollywood, Bud Cole, and Jim Paris Macro: Andrew Hollywood, Renee Garrison, and Keith Morgans While the judges selected the ribbon winners, the big prize of the exhibition was a $300 canvas wrap print, donated by Dan’s Camera City. That prize went to the winner of the People’s Choice Award, with each visitor allowed to cast one vote for their favorite photograph. Autumn Pond by Jim Paris of Kutztown won the popular vote. Collins noted “159 votes were cast for the award, spread among more than 30 of the entries because of the great quality of the photographs.”

“What’s the BUZZ?”

10%* Off Spring Clean-Up Special Call by April 30th *applies to labor only

In looking forward to next year’s exhibition, new rules and categories were announced by the event leaders. First, photos of animals must be native, noncaptive animals that are not at feeders. In addition, any plant photos must be of native species. Photos can be taken in a garden or yard, but must be of species native to the category region. The photographs must be taken in the past five years.

The new categories for next year’s show are LGNC, Pennsylvania, and Earth/Air/Water/ Light. Photos from the LGNC category must be take on or of the refuge property at Lehigh Gap. Pennsylvania photos again must be taken within the state.

For both of these categories, photos of wild animals, native plants, scenes, or macro photos are welcome. The final category is open to the interpretation of the photographer/artist. The category Earth/Air/Water/Light may include one or more of the category elements at the photographer’s discretion.

So grab your camera and head outdoors to capture those images that could be part of our Nature In Photographs exhibit in March 2015.

Cancer Support Community Celebrates 10 years in Valley Submitted by PAULA REAM Founded nationally in 1982

by Dr. Harold Benjamin in California, the Cancer Support Community was initially called the Wellness Community. A similar model was developed on the East coast by friends of the late comedienne Gilda Radner, called Gilda’s Clubs, and the two organizations merged in 2009. There are now 55 national but independently operated affiliate locations.

Research shows the powerful connection between emotional health and physical well-being during the cancer journey.

Locally, the Cancer Support Community is celebrating 10 years in the Greater Lehigh Valley area, continuing Dr. Benjamin’s vision of providing emotional and social support, education, and hope for a better quality of life after a cancer diagnosis strikes you or a loved one, through free programs for anyone affected by any type of cancer.

The Cancer Support Community-GLV invites the public to join in celebrating their 10th birthday milestone, at a Red Balloon Celebration and Ice Cream Social on Saturday, May 3, from 1 to 3 p.m. at 3400 Bath Pike in Bethlehem.

The nonprofit organization hopes to fill every room in their building with hundreds of red balloons, for an unforgettable birthday celebration.

(Balloons will not be released

to the outdoors.)

Balloons can be sponsored for $25 each to honor or memorialize someone special, with a goal to raise $10,000 for their 10th year, to help continue providing vital support groups, educational workshops and healthy lifestyle activities for individuals, families and caregivers impacted by cancer. All contributions are used locally in the Greater Lehigh Valley.

Since opening in 2004, the organization has served people the seven surrounding counties of Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, Carbon, Monroe and Schuylkill, Pennsylvania, and Warren, New Jersey. More than 60 programs are offered free each month to anyone facing any type of cancer, at any stage of the disease.

To attend and for more information, call (610) 861-7555 or Email to info@cancersupportglv.org. Balloon sponsorship contributions can be mailed to the Cancer Support Community at 3400 Bath Pike, Bethlehem PA 18017, or made securely online at www.CancerSupportGLV.org.

Regular

By CAROL RITTER

You can’t make up real life!

Recently, I was at a high end hotel with premium restaurants and coffee shops. Expectations are high, over the top customer service expected. So, I’m an early bird and love good coffee, but it has to be decaf...can’t do regular anymore.

I’m first in line at the coffee shop which opens at 7 a.m. By 6:50 a.m. the line has grown and folks are getting antsy. I hear, “What time is it, when does this place open, anyone have the time?” I said, “It’s 6:55 and they open at 7 a.m.” 7 o’clock came and went. Now the crowd is restless. All of a sudden an employee appears and instead of opening the door (7:05 a.m.) she starts moving signs around. The gal in back of me says, “That’s right, move the signs before you open the doors.” But she didn’t hear her. She approaches the crowd, doesn’t even look at us, bends down and puts her keys in the door and finally opens the door.

The gal in back of me says, “Hello, Good Morning!” The employee offers an anemic hello.

The best is yet to come. I walk up to the guy taking the orders and he is bending down where only I could see him, sipping his coffee and hiding from the customers.

OMG, can you believe it? So, my friend behind me says, “Who is taking our order?” I tell her that he’s on the floor drinking his coffee before he waits on us. She is beyond appalled. He pops up and says, ”What do you want?” What do I want?

I tell him I want a small decaf with room for cream. He asks, “Do you want regular?” I tell him that I want decaf. He says, “I know, do you want regular?” I ask, “What’s regular?” and he answers “It’s a latte.” “Does it have caffeine?” He says, “Depend.” OMG, I’m so frustrated. I’m thinking should have ordered water with no caffeine!. “JUST CAN’T MAKE

UP REAL LIFE”! So, I move over to pick up my coffee and the sign mover is handing me the coffee, decaf not regular and still miserable. Now I’m concerned that my coffee is regular. As a customer, I’m confused, disappointed and nervous that I have gotten regular coffee or, maybe I should say disappointed but not surprised!

Would you agree that this world is yearning for fantastic customer service? I think so!

This advice is dedicated to the sign mover and the coffee sipper.

Treat your customers like they are the only person in the world Take the time to greet your customers and, if you really want to go over the top, “SMILE” Don’t ever think that your coffee is more important than your customer’s coffee Moving signs is NOT IMPORTANT - Selling coffee is.

Just because your coffee tastes good doesn’t mean you can slack on customer service And last, but not least, if someone comes to your coffee shop and orders decaf it doesn’t mean regular.

Just thinking...wonder what the owner was thinking when he or she hired these people!

Hough like Amway is not a supporter of the proposed merger of the agencies, and it needs to be short circuited.

The argument for it in the Legislature is that WCO’s of both fish and game would be named Resource Conservation Officers.

Melody Schell, former PFSC executive and now editor of On Target, said, “It’s follow the money. The Legislature would like to get it for the general fund.” Former PGC commissioner Russ Schleiden said they would get it from DCNR and also P-R funds.

Hough said legislators are proposing a lot of bills that amount to wildlife management.

In game committee discussions, delegate Larry Mummert said there needs to be more incentive for hunter education instructors by giving them gifts. Female instructors are encouraged. . . .An Allegheny-Butler county hunter also wants the bear opener on Monday rather than Saturday. . .A northcentral division delegate said people in the northern tier are happy with concurrent deer seasons.

Also present at the convention was DCNR Secretary Ellen Ferretti. While she didn’t offer any comments, she stayed for the entire convention and met with the committees.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP.

Early settlers organize Allen Township

By Ed Pany

In a continuing series, I am standing in the Jane Horner Cemetery, which dates back to 1745 and is the resting place of Northampton County’s first settlers from the 1728 Craig or Scot-Irish Settlement. Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society is preserving this historic treasure.

One of the first settlers was Hugh Wilson. He purchased 400 acres from William Allen, a creditor of the Penn family. Hugh was the first white man to settle within the bounds of what is now Northampton. This area was formerly called Allen Township; the name Northampton did not appear until 1909.

The deed gave Wilson the right to use the water of the Hokendauqua Creek, construct a dam and water courses for the erection and operation of a grist mill. Wilson seems to have been the first industrialist in this section.

He was born in Cootehill, Ireland, in 1689 and left Ireland with the Craigs and others of the Scot-Irish Settle-

ment in 1727. He married Sarah Craig and raised a family of eight children.

The Wilson mill was the first in the area and supplied most of the flour of the township. He would later sell the mill to his son Thomas for “five shillings and natural love and affection.”

The historic mill would have many owners. The most famous was Col. Theodore Howell, who fought and was wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War. Howell would sell the land to the Atlas Portland Cement Company in 1895. Wilson led a movement in 1748 for the organization of Allen Township. The petition stated that the people labored under great inconvenience for want of roads to go to the mills, market, and the county court. East Allen Township would later be created out of the original Allen Township.

Wilson was also instrumental in the creation of Northampton County, which was approved by Act of the Assembly on March 11, 1752.

Wilson’s Block House The first session of the county court was held at Easton, the new county seat, on June 16, 1752, before Justices Thomas Craig, Timothy Horsfield, William Craig, James Martin, and Hugh Wilson. All, but Martin, were from the Irish settlement.

The Indian uprisings of 1756-63 caused many of the Craig settlement residents to flee to Bethlehem for protection. This chapter was called “The Runaway.” As a result, Benjamin Franklin had authorized the erection of a number of frontier forts.

The Wilson family constructed the Wilson Block House on the banks of the Hokendauqua Creek to protect the grist mill, as there was a shortage of flour during “The Runaway.” This would, in effect, help stop future runaways.

The block house was probably constructed under the insistence of Benjamin Franklin. Today the block house is a proud symbol of the Borough

of Northampton. Because of vandalism, the blockhouse was moved to the borough’s Municipal Park on Laubach Avenue.

Hugh Wilson had a long fruitful life as a leader of the settlement. In his dying hour, he united his family in singing of the 40th Psalm, “I waited for the Lord my God.” He died in 1773 and is buried in the old Allen Township Presbyterian Church Cemetery in East Allen Township.

I want to thank my friend Larry Oberly and the late James Wright of Nazareth for use of their 1975 extensive research on the Wilson Block

House.

Next week we will tell the story of the Craig family, founders of the 1728 ScotchIrish settlement.

Council approves going ahead With Uptown Park plans

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

After much discussion, and some misgivings, Northampton Borough Council on Thursday voted to move forward with plans for the Uptown Park along Main Street.

Victor Rodite outlined the plans that include an entrance walkway from Main St., a gazebo, rest rooms, benches and picnic tables, and small and large trees.

A grant of $65,000 has been given by Pa. Dept. of Economic & Community Development (DCED), which comes from uncommitted Monroe County gambling funds, and another $33,000 is being applied from the Northampton County Open Space Fund.

Public Works has started on the project, grading it for the farmers market this summer. It will be open from July through September.

Council President John Yurish wanted to know why plans for the park have expanded so much, saying it went from a Chevrolet to a Cadillac in only a 90 x 97-ft. space.

Rodite said he saw a program on TV that showed big malls are dying. His plan is

for people to relax and talk to other people. “It can be a key for bringing people back for spiritual well-being in the community,” he said.

He added that nearby small businesses are for it and that it will be a quiet open space, and room enough for six farmers to have their stands.

“My philosophy is that the farmers market is to attract people, build a spirit of community, not to make a big profit,” Rodite said as he sought Council’s support.

Another question was raised by Councilman Robert McHale, “Is it a farmers market or a park for the uptown?”

He said it is too small for concerts, but okay for people to sit.

Borough Manager Gene Zarayko, sensing some troubling remarks for Rodite, said, “Victor needs a commitment so he can move forward.”

Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said, “It’s a quiet area where people can be drawn in for special events.”

McHale said he can’t vote for a $17-$18,000 advertising pole. Yurish added that he doesn’t agree with lights or rest rooms, “But I do agree to going for the money.”

Finally, Councilman Ed Pany said, “I go along with $105,000 to spend, but not a nickel more. If we’re not getting a good park for $105,000, then we’re not doing our job for the taxpayers.”

Council agreed to that ceiling for the project.

Other Matters • Council okayed handicapped parking zones at 2426 Dewey Ave., 1805 Lincoln Ave., 690 Main St., and 464 E. 9th St. Also approved: Annual coin toss by the Exchange Club on May 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Held Drive, and police officer Christopher Fredericks to attend a vehicle collision investigation training course May 13-15.

Committee Reports • Councilman Anthony Pristash noted that Pany received a $300 donation for the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum from John Topfer of Moore Township (See later comments by Pany).

LeRoy Brobst has sent out delinquent trash bills for 2014, with a total of 479 who haven’t paid. For this year and years past, $380,000 is owed.

• Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Jr. for building, land and recreation noted that park restrooms are open for the season and some preliminary work has been done on baseball infields. . . .There was a good turnout of Councilmen filling the plastic eggs that were put out on the egg hunt last Saturday. . . .Work is being done on the swimming pool.

2.3% School Tax hike seen For Nazareth

By HOME NEWS STAFF

A preliminary budget for the coming year was outlined for the Nazareth Area School District on Monday, April 14.

The proposed $73.8 million budget is expected to be approved on April 28. It is $3.5-million higher than the present school year.

Superintendent Dennis Riker said the educational programs will remain the

same, so that students will receive the highest quality education, but there will be some other significant cuts to make that possible.

They include these reductions: building and grounds – $200,000 for daily operations and $300,000 for new equipment; special education, $303,000; technology, $300,000, along with less substitute teachers and two less building level support personnel.

Liberty is the power we have over ourselves.

Give me liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience.

Liberty is not idleness, but the free use of time.

Among people generally corrupt, liberty cannot long exist.

Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.

But no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.

Northampton Council Continued from page 9

. . .Four new pieces of equipment have been installed at the recreation center.

Remarks

Lopsonski, Sr. suggested the borough use a snow blower to blow snow away for parking lots, and that it could be borrowed by other municipalities, making Northampton a good neighbor.

Pany told Council that John Topfer wrestled in high school for the late Harry Wall when Northampton and Nazareth schools were much smaller. He recalled that when Topfer was thrown into a wrestling match as a heavyweight he lost the match to Gary Gaycheck of Allen High School, but the meet was won by the Northampton team because of the determination and courage Topfer showed. “That was the spirit that the Konkrete Kids had,” Pany said. Zarayko announced the next meeting of the Mideastern Counties Assn. of Boroughs will be in Lehighton. It was reported that NASD Supt.

Joseph Kovalchik said volunteers are wanted from communities for better communication, and a meeting will be held on August 21. Zarayko also announced that all the fluorescent lights in the municipal building will be replaced with other less costly lighting in May. Councilmen of Ukrainian origin recommended kielbasa dip and all wished a “Happy Easter” to everyone.
