Northampton High School embraces the “No Place For Hate” initiative
Northampton Area High School showing off their “No Place for Hate” spirit.
submitted by TARA MRAZIK Throughout the 2015/2016 school year, Northampton Area High School has embraced the newly adopted “No Place for Hate” initiative. The initiative was first implemented earlier this school year by faculty, administration, and staff to spread awareness of bullying and discrimination and to help put an end to these issues. The main idea of “No Place for Hate” is for people to learn to get along despite their differences. The initiative was first intro-
duced to mostly faculty and staff members, but it became obvious that it could be reaching a larger audience. Three senior DECA members at the high school, Ian Luberti, Bryan Morris, and Ian Csencsits, took on the task of promoting this worthwhile initiative in coordination with High School Assistant Principal, Mike Lopata to help bring the message to the students. The three seniors have had a large impact on the student body through several meaningful promotional activities.

Some of the promotional activities that these students have completed were broadcasting several public service announcements on The Morning Mix (NHS school news show), mak-

ing a “No Place for Hate” bulletin board, hanging posters throughout the school, and selling “No Place for Hate” themed t-shirts and wristbands. The public service announcements starred the Project Promoters, along with some of their classmates displaying exceptional “No Place for Hate” behavior in situations that may arise on a daily basis at school. The bulletin board and posters spread the “No Place for Hate” logo throughout the school. Students had a conContinued on page 2
Comeback Kids - Phantoms Making Postseason Push Two shows, by TONY ANDROCKITIS field, things were looking grim I’ve said that the whole year,” ly unthinkable – tallying three
(@TonyAndrock) The Lehigh Valley Phantoms (25-25-2-2) have 22 games left on their regular season schedule to make up ground in the Atlantic Division standings. Thanks to two wins and a shootout loss last weekend - five out of a possible six points - the Phantoms enter the week only seven points out of the postseason. After the Phantoms held on for a 2-1 win Friday over Spring-
Saturday night against Bridgeport. Trailing the Sound Tigers 4-2 with less than eight minutes left in regulation, another disappointing loss was inevitable. That was until second year forward Taylor Leier took over control of the game, tallying two goals and forcing overtime. The Phantoms ultimately came up short in the shootout, but earned a valuable point in the standings. “I think we are a playoff team.
Leier said after his two-goal performance sparked the Phantoms comeback. “We’ve had a lot of games like this where we have been the underdog halfway through the game and we have guys step up throughout the lineup.” The same theme rang true Sunday in Springfield. The Phantoms again found themselves down 4-2 in the final frame. This time, the Phantoms did the near-
goals in the third period to steal two points in a thrilling 5-4 win capped by a point shot goal from defenseman Mark Alt with 2.8 seconds left in the game. Newcomer Phil DeSimone has played a pivotal role since joining the Phantoms. He tallied the game-tying goal Sunday with 4:06 left and also made a play at the offensive zone blue line in the Continued on page 15

stant reminder of the initiative during the entire school day. The
last, and most successful promotional strategy, was selling t-shirts and wristbands. Around 200 students wear the wristbands daily in support of the cause. According to Business and Technology Department Co-
ordinator and Varsity Boys Basketball Coach, Mr. Coy Stampone, “ I think the wristbands were one of the best ideas. They seemed to really bring the sports teams and other students together as one in trying to make our school a better place.” The High School has noticed a change in attitude throughout the school year due to this initiative. People seem to be get-
ting along better and creating a more peaceful environment. The people who truly bought into the idea of “No Place for Hate” are really making a difference around the school. Ian Luberti says, “Throughout the time I have helped promote this initiative, I have not only seen things change in the school, but also in myself. I have learned to respect others for their differences and appreciate everyone for what they do in our school.” Ian Csencsits, another project coordinator, says, “I think that Northampton is

Beat wardrobe blahs With a closet makeover
(Family Features) It’s that time of year when everything in your closet just seems drab. But instead of investing in a new wardrobe, try dressing up your closet. By getting organized and sprucing up a little, you’ll get a fresh perspective and maybe even find some lost treasures. Start by evaluating your closet. You may have heard of the Pareto principal, commonly known as the 80-20 law, and chances are good that it applies to your wardrobe. If you’re like most people, you wear 20 percent of your things 80 percent of the time. This means a lot of clothes are just taking up space. Weeding out the unnecessary items is your first step in a closet makeover. Once you’ve done the preliminary clean out, it’s time to reorganize. If you don’t have a closet system in place, you might want to consider a simple DIY product like ClosetMaid ShelfTrack. It’s a system that is completely adjustable and customizable, and a smart solution for someone seeking an affordable, easy-to-install closet product. The system also offers a variety of accessories, such as wire or laminate shelves, drawers and shoe racks, so it will serve as a good foundation for a functional closet. Once you have the right organizing system in place, it’s time to get creative and design a look that makes your daily trek to the closet more exciting. These ideas will help boost your outlook on all those clothes that seem tired and worn.
Shine the light. Bad lighting can be a hindrance in any closet. In a crowded one, clothes are hard enough to find, but if it is packed tight, it’s almost impossible. Proper lighting is essential. A trendy light fixture can be lots of fun, but make certain it will provide adequate lighting to illuminate everything. Be sure to eliminate shadows by using diffused lighting. Add style to your storage. Colorful and patterned fabric bins can be your closet’s best friend. They provide a home to hide and consolidate more personal belongings and add pops of color and style to your shelves. Hang clothes with care. Get rid of the wire and pamper your clothes with good hangers. Critical for maintaining order, they help keep your wardrobe in tip top shape by eliminating garment stretching. Slim velvet hangers, available in an array of colors, are optimal for saving space, but if you have the room, a heavier wooden version is better. Whichever you choose, remember that a uniform set makes for a streamlined look. Whether it’s a full blown makeover or a modest face lift, you won’t be disappointed in how a newly organized closet makes you feel. The tricky part is to be vigilant about keeping it organized. Dedicating about 15 minutes a week to your closet should keep it in great shape for seasons to come. For more closet makeover tips and tricks, visit ClosetMaid.com.

Did you know that this month is leap year? Why? It is because of the orbit of the earth. Earth takes 365.2422 days to orbit the sun. Since the Gregorian calendar only has 365 days, an extra day is added to February every four years to make up the difference. The chances of having a leap-year birthday are one in 1.461. People born on February 29 are often referred to as leapings or leapers.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip We’re almost at closing out the month of February. And that much closer to the end of winter. Not bad, eh? Actually, except for that monster snowstorm and some close-to-zero weather at times, it hasn’t been too bad a winter. Even so, I’m ready for spring! . . . . Congrats to Jim and Louise Stout on their 50th wedding anniversary. They used to live in Moore Township, but are now up in Dallas, Pa. I hear they’d like to move back here again if they can find a house that’s suitable. . . . Best of luck to the Konkrete Kids girls’ basketball team, who will be facing Nazareth this Tuesday night in
the semi-finals. They edged out a tough Parkland team last week, 44-42, in the District 11 Class AAAA quarter-finals. Aja Blount, Lauren Sterner, Jenna Rogers and Devon Saul were four of the heroes for Northampton, but it was a total team effort. . . .I have a tough time remembering names, but I hear one fella’s solution is that he calls one person “The Chicken Man” and another “The Pie Man.” It seems to work. . . .Best of luck to Herb Silfies who’s getting a valve to his heart this week. The nurses will keep his blood flowing all right. . . .Klecknersville Rangers are gonna have a flea market on Sunday, March 6. It’s always wondered me, where, when or how did the term “flea market” originate? Anybody know the answer? . . . .My sympathies to Rev. Jerry Mraz of Northampton on the passing of his wife. . . .I see that the borough
is looking for cost estimates from engineers or architects on doing a “re-purposing” of the municipal building (the former Bath Public School that a lot of us as kids attended) or constructing a new building to suit all their needs. Either way I reckon it’s expensive. . . .Those of you who were born on February 29 will have another four-year birthday come Tuesday. At least it keeps you young. Happy birthday! . . . Another terrific crowd came out on Saturday for the Whitetail Deer Classic in Northampton. They probably had the best weather ever. . . . Road crews should be happier this year, with less than usual potholes to fix. . . . Something smells good in the kitchen. Maybe Elmira’s fixing to make a pig stomach dinner. Doesn’t sound good, but you don’t know vat gute is, maybe. See ya!

Last month when the delegates of the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs met at the Belfast-Edelman Sportsmen’s Association quarters that was hosted by District 10 Trappers, the Federation learned that the Belfast-Edelman club is in trouble. Although they have a membership of about 830, many of them have transferred out to other clubs because heir rifle range, located in Bushkill Township, has been temporarily shut down voluntarily because of the shape it’s in. The club building is located in Plainfield Township. It was suggested last month, and again this past Thursday at a Federation board meeting, that the Federation offer to pay a rental fee for use of their building so that they and other clubs could meet there. The Federation wants to meet with their officers and members to bring the club back to where it has been for many years. We’ve been told that the Belfast-Edelman board has threatened to quit because they’ve been unsuccessful in revitalizing their club. It was learned that a board member from Belfast-Edelman is writing a letter to their membership asking that they become more involved. They may also be invited to a Federation board

meeting on March 24 at 7 p.m. in the Stockertown Rod & Gun Club. We hope it works, because the sportsmen overall need all the help they can get to overcome the anti’s that are out there The Federation delegates met this Monday at Tri-Boro Sportsmen in Northampton and the subject was brought up by president Mike Topping He encouraged the sportsmen to join the Belfast-Edelman club at $30. Again he suggested paying a rental fee for use of their building, including storage of Federation supplies. He noted that the rifle range needs a lot of work to make it safe. Other matters • The Federation approved a $500 donation to ArtsQuest for the Step Outdoors Lehigh Valley event that will be held, free of charge for the public, on June 4 and 5 at SteelStacks. Promoted by outdoors writer Mark Demko, it features displays on archery, fly fishing, hiking, shooting, other
outdoor sports, and even the peregrine falcons at the Sands Resort, one of only 40 nesting sites in Pennsylvania. • Wildlife Conservation Officer Brad Kreider presented a special Game Commission plaque of appreciation to Lee Marsh for the help he has been over the past 21 years. Although they don’t always agree with each other, they’re dedicated to the outdoor sports. Congratulations, Lee!! • Approval was given to nominating the Graver Farm in Moore Township for the Land Manager of the Year Award when the Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs has its spring convention March 11-13 in Harrisburg. • Judi Riegel of the Northampton County Junior Conservation School said that applications are now being received for students 14 to 17 to attend the school July 10 to 17. The $75 registration fee is waived if the student is registered by April 15. Sponsors pay $175. Contact www.ncjcs.com for more information.

nau eens, as ich gleiche deede zu sehne uff so re „Place mat“. -Florence Baver
March 23, 1961
Years back, the papers were not so full of events happening in places like Cuba or Russia, but they printed articles about things around home, with which everyone was familiar. [Florence wrote this article in the early years of Castro’s takeover of Cuba and in the midst of the Cold War with Russia.] This time of
Championship from a year ago. The Nazareth Wrestling Team will start the Individual Season with the Individual Tournament, held at Liberty Memorial Gymnasium on Friday, February 26 and Saturday, February 27. The first round will start at 4 p.m. on Friday followed by the Quarterfinals. On Saturday, February 27 the action will start at 9 a.m. with the Semifinals at 10:45 a.m. and the finals are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 27. The Nazareth Competition Cheerleaders finished in first place in a competition on Sunday, February 21 and congrats to all of them. Stay tuned next week to find out how the girls Basketball Team and the Wrestling Team competed in their tournaments. Best wishes to both the girls Basketball Team and Wrestling team. the year dandelion was the subject for newspapers. [The two Dutch words stated here, were used in different regions of our area.] One newspaper in 1897 wrote in English, “Dandelion is growing fast.” At another place it said, “Many people were out hunting dandelion on Tuesday and Wednesday, and watched the snowflakes on Thursday.” Yes, Green Thursday [Holy Thursday before Easter, March 24th this year,] is the day to eat dandelion salad. That will keep one healthy for the whole year. There was nothing but dried beans and corn and like vegetables [to eat] the whole winter and when the
dandelion came in, everyone was crazy hungry for greens and it took a complete wash pan dishful to fill everyone to satisfaction. Dandelion is healthy not only on Green Thursday, but as long as we can eat it, even when it is blooming. When we get out and about and stop at an eating place, then we can see that they just want to make money off the PA Dutch there. One gets a small rectangular sheet of paper under the dinner plate, laid there for “fancy” with all sort of sayings on it that intend to inform one of how the PA Dutch speak when they use English. Three fourth of that is so dumb and so far off the mark, just anything and everything that they can do to keep fooling the English speaking people [regarding the Dutch]. Now it is very true that the Dutch people often say things backwards [with respect to English grammar, but, none the less, correct according to Dutch word order]. But we think they should ask people who know what they are doing, when they want to print such things. Now very recently we heard a saying that would just be good for such a case. The organist in the church would always be called the choir director [because in rural churches, at least, those two responsibilities were often combined]. It was always said, “He is leading the singing at the church.” But we heard someone recently say, when the choir director was spoken of, “He is the front singer. He sings front at the church.” [If one breaks down the verb, vorsinge, or the noun, Vorsinger, into their components, vor + singe(r), the literal translation would be ‘to sing front of ’ and ‘front singer’.] Well now there is nothing wrong with that, is it? Now that is one that we would like to see on such a “place mat.” -Larry Gradwohl

He Couldn’t Save Himself
Roy Larson was maneuvering the unfamiliar stick shift on a "loaner" electric wheelchair as he ventured into downtown Glen Ellyn, Illinois, for a haircut. While crossing the railroad tracks on Main Street, one of the chair's wheels became lodged in the track. As Larson struggled to free the wheel, something went wrong with the chair's electrical system, and the chair refused to move. Suddenly the lights began to flash, and the signal bells started to ring. The gates in front of Larson and behind him began to lower. The first person Larson saw as he frantically looked for help was Mark Bade who sprinted to his side and began to struggle with the chair. At almost the same moment, Don Burgeson stopped his car at the gates and leaped out to help Bade wrench the chair free from the track and drag it out of harm's way. "After the train went by, I just said thanks," Larson said. "The only reason I am here today is because these two guys saved my life." Larson’s frightful experience pictures the reality of the situation everyone is in as it pertains to facing a holy God and the coming judgment of sin. The Bible says, “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:12). The problem is that “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23) for which all stand guilty before God! Like Larson’s struggling hopelessly to free himself, many try their best to save themselves by good works and acts of righteousness, but the Bible declares “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). Like Larson, we desperately need outside intervention! God has provided it! “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration…Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour” (Titus 3:5-6). I urge you to humbly accept Christ’s salvation now and thank Him forever!

Business was booming and it was a great success. The students produced goods for sale and made posters to advertise the marketplace. All proceeds go to Sister Agnes Mary and the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. Sister Agnes Mary is a graduate of SHS and is now in Atlanta Georgia. Altogether, the third grade raised $1,100.00. This money will be used by the Sisters for the care of indigent and terminally ill cancer patients. Thomas Georgeson is featured with his homemade play-doh. -Photos submitted by Karen Gabryluk
