Northampton Area High School; Maria Shehab, Northampton Area Middle School; and Brianna Uhnak, WC Middle School. It was a weekend of workshops, general meetings, and guest speakers as well over 100 men and women of the state’s PTAs gathered here. Among the speakers was Charles Scott, board member of the National PTA; Carol Ritter, Pa. PTA past president and a contributor to The Home News; and Philip Horn, Executive Director of the Pa. Council on the Arts. The state president, Debbie Munson, told us that the PTA’s by-laws were brought up to date for the first time in 50 years, when they were destroyed in a flood at Harrisburg. The convention offered supplemental work with children, officer training, and action on such issues as the state PTA’s budget, and all-day kindergarten. On Saturday morning the delegates took action on resolutions that affect the children in schools across the state – (1) rescinding a state resolution that
will be tested in five areas at the competition: Wildlife, Forestry, Soils and Land Use, Aquatic Ecology and a current environmental issue (this year’s topic is Invasive Species: A Challenge to the Environment, Economy and Society). This year, seven schools will compete with a total of thirteen teams. Competing are: Bangor Area High School, Bethlehem Catholic High School, Freedom
High School, Nazareth Area High School, Northampton Area High School, Moravian Academy and Pen Argyl Area High School. At the competition, the teams rotate through the five stations taking written tests with some hands-on application. The team with the highest cumulative score is the winner.

Rainy drizzle For Bath Trout Fishing contest
went about their task of putting trout in the Monocacy Creek as it flows through Bath. It didn’t rain. But, on Saturday morning, just before the 8:00 o’clock hour, the rain came in a steady drizzle. It didn’t deter the youngsters, who dropped their lines into the waters between the W. Main Street bridge and the pump house along

N. Chestnut Street, eager to catch the biggest trout, if not the prize winning brook, brown or golden trout that had been deposited into the waters the day before. Hunter Newsom, 13, of Northampton wasted no time, and he landed the big “Ozzie” trout, named in honor of Robert “Ozzie” Moser, who spent years of hard work with the local committee, who died earlier this year. Hunter was all smiles as he was congratulated by State Representative Marcia Hahn and former Bath Mayor Donald Wunderler. Hunter’s trout was one of a stringer of fish he caught Saturday morning. Maybe it was the cloudy, rainy weather, or that the trout were just hungry, for most of the kids fared very well and filled their stringers early on. The sun came out Saturday afternoon, and the contest continued into Sunday, when the weather was sunny and warmer.

Emmanuel’s Lutheran Church news in price is necessary to reflect the submitted by BARRY AND ELIZABETH MITCHELL Vacation Bible School Cave Quest- June 26 - June 30 We are looking for excited students and joyful volunteers as we make our plans for this year's Vacation Bible School. Each day, kids participate in small groups, called Cave Crews, and discover practical ways to follow Jesus, the light of the world. Not only will they experience exciting Bible adventures but they’ll also watch for God in everyday life through something called God Sightings™. You and your kids will discover that God is active in our lives and that His light shines for us to see it daily. Cave Quest is filled with unforgettable Bible-learning experiences kids will see, hear, touch, and even taste! KidVid Cinema shares real stories of real kids who are shining God’s light in everyday life. Plus, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats keep everyone on the move. Altar Flowers - Price Increase for Flowers As of June 1 the cost to sponsor flowers will increase from $15 to $25 per arrangement. In addition, the sanctuary flowers will be arranged in a take home gold colored dish beginning June 1 (similar to the flowers at the contemporary service). This increase
increased cost of flowers, as well as the cost of the gold colored dishes. These containers are recyclable, or if you prefer, you may return them to the church and they can be re-used by our florist. Any questions, please contact Michele Geiger, Worship Chair. Bear Creek Camp The time is here to register for summer sessions at Bear Creek Camp. We had a nice group of campers go to Bear Creek last year and we hope to have even more take advantage of this wonderful Christian summer experience this year. Emmanuel's Church will help each camper with a donation of $100 toward your summer camp fees at Bear Creek. Shingles Vaccine-May 10 at the Bath Food Bank Shingles vaccine will be available at the Bath Area Food Bank at St. John's Lutheran Church, 206 Main Street in Bath on Tuesday, May 10. There is no cost for those with low income, and a $5 cost for those with no insurance. If you have insurance, they will only give the shots if your insurance charges more than $100. Emmanuel's Meals from the Heart What is this? This is a new ministry beginning here at Emmanuel's where we provide meals to anyone from
the congregation in times of need. Meals might be needed after the birth of a baby, after surgery or hospitalization, or during a time of crisis. How will it work? Contact the church secretary or one of the Pastors if you have a need, who will in turn notify the meals ministry Coordinator and then volunteers will be contacted to provide a meal, either home cooked or purchased, and then delivered to the recipient. How do we serve? It depends on the need. A decision will be made between the Coordinator and the member how many meals are needed and for how long. It may just be one or two meals, it may be several meals per week for up to a month or two or anywhere in between. If you are willing to make a meal, you will be provided with the link to an online scheduling tool. Once on the web site, you will be able to see what others have signed up for, thus preventing repetitive meals. If possible, meals should be delivered in disposable containers to reduce the need for washing and returning dishes. What are the guidelines? We will provide a complete meal and deliver it to the recipient. It can be store bought, homemade, frozen or just about anything. It does not need to be fancy or gourmet. We will attempt to accommodate allergies and food preferences when possible. How can you help? This new ministry is an excel-
lent way to serve others, share our love of God and make a difference in someone's life. How do I sign up? Please email Michele Geiger at mlgeiger520@gmail.com or call 610-442-7680 and leave a message with your name and phone number if you'd like to be part of a list of volunteers willing to provide meals to those in need. When we receive a request, you will receive an email with the link for the online scheduling tool. We will also put announcements in the bulletin and make announcements during church services.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Most of Rt. 512 is now paved and we’re having smooth riding. There’s still some more paving to do up north of Bath, but all in all, it’s a big change from the bumps and fissures of the past few years. They could use a little more blacktop on the edges,
though. A warning to motorists: Just because it’s so nice, that’s no excuse for speeding . . . . I hope everybody who could vote did in Tuesday’s presidential primary election. They found out that they were also voting for delegates who are expected to vote for their favorite candidate when it comes time for the party conventions in Philadelphia and Cleveland. That could make a big difference. Senator Pat Toomey from Lehigh County, and Congressman Charlie Dent, along
with State Representatives Marcia Hahn and Joe Emrick, and Cindy Miller from up in Lehigh Township running for Julie Harhart’s seat, were among the local candidates. . . .A couple local anglers skipped out on trout and went down to the shore on Monday. They waded out pretty far in the ocean and landed some huge blues, I hear. . . .

They had a big antiques show back in March that they were proud of that included the Chestnut Street antiques stores and a show over at the U.C.C. church. . . . I hear there are 170 folks registered to attend Marcia’s gun seminar at East Bath on May 11. That’s packing ‘em in! . . . . Congrats to Mayor Fi for winning the Good Scout Award at a scouting banquet recently. . . . I hear Herbie Silfies is home after his bout in the hospital, and may be getting back soon to the hearts game with his gang at the Legion. They have the cussing jar ready. . . .By the way, now that the league bowling season is about over, it’s out on the golf course for the Legion league. I hear they’re gonna sponsor the state tournament again this summer. . . .My sympathies to Rich Ackerman on the passing of his mom Myrtle at age 97. Good, ripe age anyhow. . . . Nazareth Farmers Market opens on the circle this Saturday, April 30; Bath’s will be opening on May 20 and Northampton’s on May 24. . . . Spring has really sprung now, so there’s flowers and greenery wherever you look. Unfortunately, we need rain, too. I hear a forest fire in Pike County burned 8,000 acres this week and destroyed five hunting cabins. We hafta take the good with the bad, I reckon.

Saving A Drowning Man
Watchman Nee was taking a dip in a Chinese river with several other men when one got a cramp in his leg and began sinking fast. Mr. Nee motioned to one of the men on the shore, who was an excellent swimmer, about the man’s predicament. To his astonishment, however, he just stood there and watched the drowning man. Mr. Nee was agitated that he was doing nothing when he could have jumped into the river and rescued the man, but the swimmer was calm and collected. Meanwhile, the voice of the drowning man grew fainter and more desperate. As the drowning man went under for what looked like the last time, the swimmer was there in a moment, and both were soon safely on shore. After the rescue, Mr. Nee chewed out the swimmer, accusing him of loving his life too much and being selfish. His response revealed, however, that he knew what he was doing. He told Watchman that if he had gone too soon, the drowning man would have put a death grip on him and they would have both drowned in the river. He told Mr. Nee that a drowning man cannot be saved until he is utterly exhausted and ceases to make the slightest effort to save himself. Such is the case with our need of divine salvation. The Bible says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of ourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works" (Ephesians 2:8-9). Salvation is entirely a work of God that we must accept by faith. When the Apostle Paul was asked by the jailer in Philippi, "What must I do to be saved?" Paul told him, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:30-31). When we stop trying to save ourselves by trusting in our own good works and instead place our full trust in the work of Jesus, then the Savior will step in and save us. God’s Word declares, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour” (Titus 3:5).

Innovative firsts For the kitchen You’ll want to Know about
(NAPS)—Today’s kitchens offer more than a place to cook—they are also a high-design destination. Here’s a look at the latest advances, technologies and innovative new products—the first of their kind—that you won’t want to miss: • Imagine a refrigerator with a built-in, single-serve coffee- and tea maker. That means filtered water, increased counter space and no more reservoir refilling. You can even preset the brew time from a smartphone app. • You can control your smart oven with an app from anywhere in the house so food is hot and ready when you are. • Never guess how hot you want your food to be. There’s now a frying pan with its own thermometer that alerts you when it’s time to flip the pancakes. • The IKON Apron Front Single Bowl Sink from BLANCO—a company long known for its forward-thinking fixtures—has made the first Apron Front sink crafted from SILGRANIT, a patented granite composite material that won’t scratch or stain and is heat resistant up to 536° F. The sink is one of the most heavily used areas of the kitchen and apron front sinks experience more contact than traditional undermount sinks. Beautifully designed, this apron front sink will be a focal point in the kitchen and will uniquely maintain its beauty with scientifically proven technologies that keep the surface pristine and hygienic for the lifetime of the kitchen. BLANCO has been making SILGRANIT sinks for over 30 years, and has recently improved the material, resulting in an even smoother surface that is easier to clean. SILGRANIT also comes in eight exciting on-trend colors. Another “first of a kind” innovation from BLANCO is a unique patented Floating Grid accessory, which rests along the walls of the sink and can be used as an additional workstation for prepping and cleaning or as a trivet on the countertop. Since the grid is not needed to protect the sink surface, it floats gently above the sink bottom (above any debris and water) to be used as a multitasking work area that’s clean and easy to reach. It can easily handle the weight of most pots and pans. More good news: In addition to its innovative products, BLANCO also has a long tradition of environmental stewardship and production facilities that operate to strict environmental performance standards.
