Bath Council gives good marks For snow clearance on streets By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Bath Borough’s driveways and road conditions were checked on a consistent basis by Emergency Management Coordinator Mark Saginario and Borough Manager Tom Petrucci for the clearing of one snowfall after another in recent weeks. Their number one priority was the roads and the number two priority was the safety and welfare of the public works crew. At Council’s snow-delayed meeting this past Wednesday, Councilwoman Jennifer George commended the short-handed crew for their work and the assistance they were given by members of the Water Authority and the fire police in plowing snow. All of the dump trucks and plows the borough has were used. Former Mayor Betty Fields said Bath’s streets were cleared better than Nazareth and Northampton, and believed that 99% of the citizens appreciated the work of the municipal workers for the job they’ve been doing. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito also said she had calls from four Holiday Hill residents who expressed their gratitude for a job well done on the snow removal. The only complaint heard on snow clearance was from Joe Tavianini at Council’s meeting. Council president Robert Fields told him that the road crew was down two men and that Bath’s trucks are smaller and aren’t designed for the amount of snow they’ve had to plow and pick up. He also said the men were out working 12 to 14 hours at a time and needed rest. “They did a hell of a job,” he told Tavianini.
One member of the road crew has moved away and at this meeting the resignation of Lucas Douvier was accepted. In related items, notices have been sent to Creek Rd. residents about snow/ice sidewalk removal violations, and Fields said Bath has sufficient salt for the rest of the winter snow season. Other Matters • Councilmen Jennifer George and Michael Reph were appointed Assistant Emergency Management Coordinators. • Marlene Talaber was appointed to fill a vacancy on
the Bath Planning Commission. • Petrucci will seek a $36,000 grant for automated red light enforcement to comply with new PennDOT regulations for schools. It will be figured in the 2015 budget. • Bids will be sought to repair a sinkhole and storm sewer drain and complete the top-wearing course of the road at Wunderler’s Way. Estimated cost is between $35,000 and $45,000, Petrucci said. That street feeds into Keim St. where garages are located for E. Main St. homeContinued on page 15

Pennsylvania’s Agricultural Land Preservation Board safeguarded 2,359 additional acres on 26 farms in 13 counties through the state’s nationally renowned farmland preservation program last week. The board preserved farms in Berks, Butler, Chester, Crawford, Cumberland, Erie, Juniata, Lancaster, Lycoming, Northampton, Perry, Union and York counties.
Since the program began in 1988, federal, state, county and local governments have invested more than $1.2 billion to preserve 486,628 acres on 4,558 farms in 57 counties for future agricultural production. “Our farmland preservation program’s success is the partnership between government, non-profit organizations and the producers who enroll their land in the program,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig. “Work-

www.HomeNewsPA.com ing together, we’re preserving Pennsylvania agriculture for generations of farm families to come.” The board approved at the meeting a $30 million state funding threshold for 2014 easement purchases. Counties across Pennsylvania have certified $16.6 million for farmland preservation in 2014. The Pennsylvania Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase Program identifies properties and slows the loss of prime farmland to nonagricultural uses. It enables state, county and local governments to purchase conservation easements, also called development rights, from owners of quality farmland. In some cases, the federal Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program provides additional assistance. Last fiscal year, Pennsylvania received $4.2 million in federal reimbursements. For more information, visit www.agriculture.state.pa.us and search “farmland preservation.” Locally, the Gerald E. and Barbara Reph farm in Moore Township was preserved. The Reph’s crop farm is 49.61 acres.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip I hope you all enjoyed a few days of kinda warm weather, ‘cause we’re back in the deep freeze again. At least it has been without snow, and we can be thankful for that. Quite a bit melted, but there’s still plenty left on the ground. Don’t put the shovels away just yet, though, ‘cause we’ll probably get some more of the white stuff. But now we can start the count down to the first day of spring. . . .Overheard some folks say they saw robins around here last week, and that’s a good sign. They musta been the advance party. . . .Hats off to the girls basketball team and the wrestlers from Northampton High School, and the wrestlers at Nazareth High School, who have been doing real well lately. . . . The Winter Olympics are over. Thankfully, they went off without a hitch. The athletes who took part gave it their best shot and won medals. And even if they didn’t, they all deserve congratulations for their hard work and plenty of time put into training and conditioning to get into the Olympics. The closing ceremony on Sunday was spectacular! . . . .Dale Earnhardt, Jr. won the Daytona 500 after a six-hour rain delay that took them way into the night. . . . Best wishes to a grandson of Ye Olde Editor, Dillon Newport, who started his Marine Corps training on Monday. . . . I hear there was a fire the other day up in Lehigh Township in a mobile home. The owner escaped, but had burns as he tried to get some of his things out. . . .Congrats to Mrs. Marion Burkhardt, a former elementary teacher
up Lehigh Township way who has reached the century mark of birthdays. . . .Even though it didn’t say it, that article last week on Children’s Dental Health Month was scribed by our friend Beth Arcury, who’s been taking care of the kids’ teeth in local schools for many years. . . . Folks down at the U.C.C. church in town enjoyed a so-called “spud” luncheon the other day, with all the trimmings of sour cream, melted cheese, and butter. The potatoes, no doubt, were grown on Gary Hunsicker’s farm. . . .Wonder how those Legion golfers from the local post did on the links down in Myrtle Beach? . . . . What’s the difference between a crab cake and a crab patty? Hafta consult Catherine and Caroline about that, I hear. . . . Lots of work was done down on the corner of Main & Walnut on Monday. Reckon it’s for a traffic light to replace one that a tractortrailer bowled over weeks ago. . . . I hear the physical fitness court down along Walnut Street is closed. Too bad. A few of us could use that fitness to trim down our waistlines. . . . Local lady has written a children’s book. I hear it’s pretty good. . . . All that snow of recent weeks musta been tough on the mail carriers walking house to house and trying not to fall on patches of ice. . . . Wonder if Jason Kremus filled his bus for the trip to the Mohegan Sun Casino up in Wilkes-Barre this Wednesday? He had five left, I hear. That’s a pretty nice casino, but for a shorter trip it’s the Sands in Bethlehem. . . .Elmira made a hot toddy for me. Don’t wanta let it cool down. Se ya!

Pennsylvania’s Property Tax/ Rent Rebate Program
By State Rep. Marcia Hahn 138th Legislative District
Forms for the state’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate program for tax year 2013 are now available. Eligible participants can receive a rebate of up to $650 based on their rent or property taxes paid in 2013. The program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians who are 65 years or older, widows and widowers 50 years or older, and those 18 years or older with disabilities. Eligibility income limits for homeowners are set at the following levels, excluding 50 percent of Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits:
• $0 to $8,000, maximum $650 rebate (Homeowners and renters). • $8,001 to $15,000, maximum $500 rebate (Homeowners and renters). • $15,001 to $18,000, maximum $300 rebate (Homeowners only). • $18,001 to $35,000, maximum $250 rebate (Homeowners only). You do not need to pay a private entity for assistance with this program. Copies of the forms, as well as help with filing them, are available at my Nazareth district office at no cost. Applicants should be prepared to provide all the necessary income, property tax or rental information required to process claims quickly and accurately. Applications are due by Monday, June 30. The Nazareth Area and Northampton Area school districts also have property
tax rebate programs for district residents. The forms and additional information on the programs are available on my website, www.RepHahn.com, under “Property Tax Relief” on the left navigation bar. The Pen Argyl Area School District has its own rebate program. You must contact the district at (610) 863-3931 for forms and further details. The Property Tax/Rent Rebate program is one of many initiatives supported by the Pennsylvania Lottery, which dedicates its proceeds to support programs for older Pennsylvanians. Since the program began in 1971, $4.8 billion has been paid to qualified applicants. Questions about this or any legislative issue may be directed to my district office at (610) 746-2100. CORRECTION: The grant for the Martin Jakoby Watershed was from the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection and not the LVEDC as we incorrectly reported in last week's edition.

I just met a local entrepreneur this week. I was looking to partner with her and found her very interesting. She has a basic philosophy about customer service. “Selling a product lasts for a minute, providing services lives forever.” I thought about that and she’s right, service or services is key to building your reputation in the community. Then she said, “when someone is dissatisfied you can solve the problem so much easier if you “remove the resistance.” That’s not only profound it’s genius. If you “REMOVE the RESISTANCE,” they have nothing to fight with you about. I think that line deserves a GOLD MEDAL. These past few weeks we’ve been watching the ups and downs of the Olympics. American girl wins gold medal in skiing, Russian figure skater wins gold, Canadian female hockey team wins gold. When they won, they were able to overcome all odds, sometimes an inch ahead of their competition and maybe even remove the resistance. How do you deal with reof Nazareth, is a third-year student in the professional photographic illustration program in RIT's College of Imaging Arts and Sciences.

Get A ‘Bird’s-Eye View’ Of Bald Eagle Nest Online
Submitted by THE HOME NEWS STAFF
Last year, a young bald eagle fledged from a nest within the city limits of Pittsburgh for the first time in perhaps 200 years or more. And in the months that led up to that moment, hundreds looked on from a distance. This year, a pair of eagles is nesting near the same site and countless more onlookers can follow along – this time with a bird’s-eye view, and from within the comfort of their own homes. The Pennsylvania Game Commission, in cooperation with Pix Controller Inc., has installed a video camera high above a nest two bald eagles have built along the Monongahela River in what is known as the Hays section of Pittsburgh. Live footage from the camera is being streamed on the Game Commission’s website. The eagle pair’s appearances at the nest have become more and more frequent since the live-streaming began in late December. And on late Wednesday afternoon, something else appeared – a freshly laid egg. The hope, of course, is that a healthy eaglet will fledge the nest, and the camera will capture every second of it. There are no guarantees the story will have a happy ending. But the live stream offers a rare, real-life look at an unfolding natural wonder.

Streaming footage is available on the homepage of the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state.pa.us. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “Play” icon to see realtime footage of the nest. In good weather conditions, the live stream will be available round-the-clock. In colder temperatures, the video equipment must be shut down for brief periods, so if you have trouble accessing the live stream, just check back later. The nest featured on the live stream was built new in recent months after a branch gave way under the nest used in the same area last year. Last year’s nest didn’t offer as up-close a view, though many people would congregate regularly along a nearby bicycle trail to view the nest through binoculars. Because there wasn’t a good vantage point inside the nest, however, eagle-watchers could only judge from the mating pair’s changed behavior that an eaglet had been hatched. It took weeks to confirm suspicions. With the camera in place, however, online viewers were able to verify the exact moment an egg was laid. Video of the egg being laid has been posted to YouTube, and can be found easily by searching “Hays eagles egg.” Other highlights from the nesting attempt so far also have been posted to the site.
Charles Kosman rolled a 508 series; Bob C. Kosman, 482, and Verna Schuon, 414 for Team 4. Their victims were Teams 1 and 7, now both in fifth place. Team 1 had only Bob R.

Pack 50 advances Cubs At Blue & Gold banquet
Submitted by THE HOME NEWS STAFF
Twenty-four Cub Scouts of Pack 50 at Moorestown received their rank pins on Sunday afternoon at the annual Blue & Gold banquet held in Salem U.C.C. Church. The ceremony opened with a recitation of the Scout Law by a pack leader, Roger Kliber, and then he explained the meaning of the blue and gold colors to the 27 Cubs as they sat on the floor gathered in front of a display rack in which the ranks of Bear, Wolf, Tiger and Bobcat were shown. Cubmaster Kirk Danner introduced guests, including The Rev. Don Brown, pastor of the church. Then followed the awarding

of the ranks, with the Cubs receiving them as they stood with their parents. An orange light was shown on the wall behind the display as two of the boys received the Bobcat pins for their first rank. Then in order, seven boys received their Tiger pins and placed a clothespin on the display to signify their next step in Cub Scouting. . .Six advanced to Wolf rank and Danner put yellow coloring on their cheeks. . .Next came eight boys who advanced to Bear rank with a blue coloring put on their faces. . .The final rank, the highest, went to three boys who became Webelos Cubs.

and leaders as they had followed a Journey of Excellence. Danner said the pack has had a busy couple of months, which included the transition from Pack 35 to Pack 50. Black beads were awarded to the boys who earned them in laser and archery, white for those who participated in the Webelos winter event, and blue for the Cubs who either stayed one or two days on the Akila land camp-out. Gold beads were awarded to the boys who did a good deed, which ranged from opening doors for people to shoveling snow from sidewalks and roofs. Others were for a wrestler who consoled a fellow wrestler after he lost a bout and another who cut up food for his brother after he had been scolded. Moore Elementary School Principal Curt Dimmick thanked those Cubs who helped serve breakfast at a Veterans Day event in the school. Certificates of appreciation went to the Eckhart family, Pete Coccetti, Tim Kopchak, Wayne Oyer for help in the transition, and to Dimmick. As a final presentation, Danner made up special “awards” for leaders who helped in one way or another – Order of the Nut, Stake in Scouting, Key to Success, Work Like a Dog, Web, Bean Counter, a crutch, and a Chopped Liver award. To several ladies, Danner gave them a big hug for arranging the banquet. Following an invocation by Rev. Brown, the nearly 75 persons in attendance enjoyed a spaghetti supper. Following that, a table full of homemade cakes specially decorated by the Cubs and their parents, were judged in a contest. As it turned out, the first prize was won by Danner and his son Elias. Danner showed the new pack T-shirts and then the boys switched in wearing 28) them in pairs. The Friends of Scouting coordinator for this area presented a ribbon to the pack and explained how money is raised to support the Minsi Trails Council scouting program. There are 11,000 scouts in the council with 5,000 volunteers. It costs $270 a year for each scout.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. 19th St. residents get their Wish – no student parking By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Dan Hertzog and other residents of East 19th Street told Northampton Borough Council on Thursday that they have a problem with students taking up their parking spaces. They asked for the same solution that had been granted residents of Evans St., no student parking. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. wanted to know what other streets are posted “No Student Parking.”He said the students should be traveling by school bus, which, he said, are only half full. Lopsonzski claimed that students could be surcharged for not using the school buses and instead are driving to school in their cars. Council did approve 10-minute parking on 9th St. between 8:30 and 9:15 a.m. and from 3:00 to 3:45 p.m. Snow Complaints Council President John Yurasits acknowledged all the calls received for the job done on snow plowing. “The phones rang off the hook,” he said. Borough Manager Gene Zarayko said the road crew is doing the best they can for those who still have snow in their streets and along curbs. Councilman Anthony Pristash complimented the road crew in clearing snow and keeping things together the best they can. Heavy borough trucks have been hauling snow away. Lopsonzski, Sr. advised people to shovel snow away from fire hydrants for at least three feet. “If firemen can get at the hydrants, your home could be saved in a fire,” he said. He added that people today can’t handle the snow like they did years ago, and after having little snow the past couple of years. In a related matter, Zarayko said the borough got another 25 tons of road salt, and have ordered another 100 tons. As of Feb. 13, 867 tons of salt were bought and used. He also said the crew will stay after potholes that are popping
up everywhere. Cliff Eckhart, who retired recently from the road crew, was complimented and received gift cards in a show of appreciation. Gregory Morey was promoted to crew leader with Eckhart’s retirement. AA Aids Recreation Steve Kerbacher, president of the Northampton Athletic Association , presented a “check” for $2,520 to benefit the Northampton Recreation Center. It was accepted by Yurish. Kerbacher said the center does a lot in the community. Councilman Robert McHale thanked the NAA for all of their activities. Other Matters A resolution was passed establishing a Municipal Park Acquisition and Development Program so that consultant Victor Rodite can apply for $67,236.50 from the county. This will be matched with in-kind service or other funding and then used for a pavilion at the community swimming pool. Council approved a handicapped parking zone for a resident at 461 E. 11th Street. Approval was also given to the Northampton Area Band Parents using the municipal park pavilions on May 10 for a flea market fund-raiser for the Big “N” Band. Middle school construction prevents using the school property. Committee Reports Councilman Robert Coleman for administration and finance reported receiving an RCN commission check of $145,863.63 and a check of $4,800.23 from Service Electric TV. He also said Northampton would host a meeting of the Mid-Eastern Counties Assoc. of Boroughs on Feb. 26. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Jr. noted that the final two dances of the school year will be held March 8 for 7th and 8th graders and April 5 for 4th, 5th and 6th graders. Councilman McHale for code and police, reported that due to snows the zoning hearing board will meet on March
20. . . .The police department will get a new cruiser car from KME Corp. in Nesquehoning. . . .The police report for January showed 495 dispatches, 106 incidents, 20 accidents investigated and 38 parking tickets issued. Councilman Keith Piescienski said the road crew will put up shamrocks on light poles after they finish plowing snow. . . .He also said cars are being parked along Lerchenmiller Dr. by people using the rec center. He said that’s dangerous if there’s a fire call and trucks come out of the fire station across the street. Zarayko said that when Conrail owned the railroad station on 21st Street, the borough paid $250 for the lease. Now it’s $2,400 with Norfolk Southern. The Northampton Area Historical Society has spent about $100,000 in remodeling the station for its headquarters. Now they can’t get hotel tax money from the county unless there’s a new lease of 10 years or more. Council voted to pay for the lease. Yurish, however, said the railroad shouldn’t be charging $2,400 when the station is used by a non-profit organization.

Your Very Own Beer Garden!
Slugs and snails are one of the greatest enemies of the home gardener. They can devastate a garden practically overnight. Here’s a unique way to help keep those little terrors out of your garden! First, remove all of the slug’s hiding places from your garden and nearby area. Rocks, wooden boards, grass or weed clippings are all home to slugs. Get rid of them. Your garden should look like bare ground (surrounding your plants). In conjunction with this you can use the old method of placing small containers of stale beer in the garden. Just take a small container like a tuna can, fill with beer and bury up to the rim throughout the garden. The slugs are attracted to the beer, fall in and drown!

Charity launches statewide program To help families make ends meet Submitted by DALE VEGA
Today four out five Americans struggle to make ends meet, 47 million get foods stamps, plus thousands of Pa. residents are not working and have a hard time getting by. To help with this problem, Community Clearinghouse Agency Inc. of Lancaster, Pa. is launching a new program where families in need can apply for funds ranging from $50 to $1,000. CCA is a volunteer based 501-C-3 social service helping Abused Women, Seniors, Veterans and Families in Lancaster County since 1995 and now expanding throughout Pennsylvania. The agency is in need of sponsors and donors to help families to pay for essentials like household needs, prescriptions, personal needs, and utilities. Applicant approval will depend upon available funds, the need, urgency and merit. Donations are used as unrestricted funds to defray expenses as well as approve funding requests wherever possible. Dale Vega, executive director said, “We can't fund every request, we have to determine how pressing the need is and on how much money we have at our disposal”. A unique feature of the program is that every applicant is encouraged to distribute
fliers in their area that ask for donations to support the program, now available in all Pennsylvania counties. Vega said, “Our motto is Look Out For The Interests Of Others, Not Just Your Own”. Applications may be requested by mail only; emails or telephone calls are not accepted. To apply, you have to send a self addressed stamped envelope. Requests can be mailed to CCA P.O.

Keep on trucking, and with Less pollution, on PA roads Submitted by Tom Joseph
Big trucks making their way across Pennsylvania will be held to tighter fuel standards in the coming years. President Obama has directed federal agencies to develop higher fuel-efficiency standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by March of 2016. Peter Shattuck, the director of market initiatives for Environment Northeast praised the environmental rationale for these standards. "The less energy you use, the fewer carbon emissions are generated, the more savings are produced for businesses; but also, less money (is) flowing out of the region for fossil fuels." The standards will affect all vehicles weighing more than 8500 pounds, from large pickup trucks to 18-wheelers. According to the White House, the new rules would build on standards passed in 2011 that
already are projected to save vehicle owners and operators $50 billion in fuel costs in the lifetimes of models built from 2014 to 2018. Just a few years ago, it was estimated that heavy-duty vehicles made up only four percent of the transportation sector, and yet accounted for about one-fourth of the roadfuel use and greenhouse-gas emissions from this sector. And ENE's Shattuck predicted the new standards will do what they are intended to, and have an effect on air quality. "States which are more densely populated and have the links to the Mid-Atlantic region and New York do see some of the heaviest traffic, particularly the I-95 corridor." ENE just released a report calling for reforms in four areas that the group says will produce a cleaner, lower-cost energy system in the region.

One cold winter evening a priest was walking through a dangerous neighborhood. A man hiding in the shadows didn’t recognize him as a priest because the priest had his topcoat buttoned up to his chin. The man came out of the shadows with a gun and asked the priest to give him his wallet. ‘When the priest opened his coat to get it, the man with the gun saw his Roman collar and apologized. He said “Sorry Father, I didn’t know you were a priest. I can’t steal from you. Just go on your way.”The priest was so relieved he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a cigar. He said “Thank you my good man. Let me give you a cigar.”The robber said “I appreciate that Father, but I can’t take it. I gave up smoking for Lent.” Well, the obvious point is that whatever spiritual practice we choose to take on during Lent, it is supposed to change us, it is supposed to make us better people. Changes come in many ways. Some are good, some are not. Some are gradual, some occur with amazing speed. Today’s readings deal with the most profound change any human will ever face: the end of life in this world and the beginning of life in the next. Did you notice how the themes of death and life are part of each of today’s readings? Abraham’s son Isaac came within seconds of having his life taken from him, but he was spared. His having been spared was like a resurrection for him. St. Paul reminds us that Jesus’ death and resurrection is an assurance of God’s love. In the gospel, Jesus’ transfiguration is not only a revelation of divine glory hidden in Jesus, but the transfiguration is closely tied to Jesus’ death and resurrection. Our season of Lent, prepares us to celebrate again what Jesus has done for us in his death and resurrection. We are called to enter into new life with him now so that when our time comes we can enter fully into his glory. Some day, as Jesus was changed, we too will be changed if we remain in union with him. If we continue to share in his life through faith, when we lay aside this present life with its joys and sorrows, its triumphs and its weaknesses, we will enter into a glorious new world which Jesus has opened up to us. We too will be transfigured. Amen reputation. A good opinion of you by others is essential. SAGITTARIUS--Nov. 23 to DEC. 21--Spend the late afternoons this week preparing special foods. Have company over for dinner. CAPRICORN--Dec. 22 to Jan. 19-Stop being so vocal about your likes
and dislikes. A quieter approach to life will help you get where you want more quickly. AQUARIUS Jan, 20 to Feb. 18-Curb the tendency to be greedy. When you harbor feelings of selfishness, they breed distrust, suspicion and sometimes hate.

owners. • A $28,535 Northampton County Open Space Initiative grant for municipal parks acquisition and development will be applied for, and may be used to put in a nine-hole golf course at Firefighters Park. A previous proposal for a skate park was rejected because of the liability involved. • Council voted to remove the handicapped parking zone at 130 Old Forge Drive since the person using it has moved away. • Unfinished business that will be acted upon include: proposed sign ordinance zoning amendment at the March 3 meeting; parks and recreation improvements in an ESSA Bank & Trust Foundation grant; having Keystone Engineering work on the 2013 CDBG project of Century Drive and a segment of Creek Rd.; completing the west side of S.

Mrs. Roberts had attended a seminar on rental properties and found there are benefits and pitfalls. She said Bath can’t afford not to inspect properties for the good of the community. However, solicitor Blake Marles said there is a problem with enforcement. • $30,767 in unpaid real estate taxes have been sent to the Tax Claim Bureau. This affects the assessed valuation of the borough. • Fields has been elected chairman of the Colonial Regional Police Commission.

Four National Conservation Organizations Team Up Submitted by MELANIE SWEARINGEN
Four of the nation’s largest wild bird conservation organizations have joined forces to ensure that wild bird habitat conservation and our shared hunting heritage remain strong for generations to come. Ducks Unlimited (DU), the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), Pheasants Forever (PF) and Quail Forever (QF) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the goal of furthering sporting traditions across North America. “By entering into this unique partnership, we will be able to reach more than 1 million conservation supporters throughout North America,” said DU CEO Dale Hall. “This MOU is the first step to ensuring our hunting heritage remains strong. I look forward to working with each organization and I know that together we can accomplish great things.” The goals of the partnership will be achieved through the support of an engaged and growing community of sportsmen and women and other outdoor enthusiasts, including the members and supporters of the partner organizations, who all share similar visions. “We’re losing 6,000 acres of habitat every day. Hunters fund conservation but now we’re at the point where less than 10 percent of the American population hunts, so the funding source is going away,” said NWTF CEO
www.HomeNewsPA.com George Thornton. “We know we can’t solve this alone. It’s bigger than one organization.” This historic partnership also takes cooperation to an entirely new level, proving that conservation organizations aren’t always competitors. Rather, this MOU shows how separate organizations can come together to achieve common goals. Combined, these organizations have helped conserve more than 30 million acres of wildlife habitat, and through this partnership, shared conservation goals will be achieved more efficiently. “In the face of the most rapid loss of wildlife habitat in modern times, it simply makes sense for our organizations to team up wherever possible,” explains Howard Vincent, President & CEO of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. “From our local chapters holding youth mentor hunts to state land acquisition projects, our goal is to accomplish more for current and future generations of bird hunters as partners in conservation.” For more information about the partnership visit www. ducks.org, www.nwtf.org or www.pheasantsforever.org.
