Bikers of all kinds gathered at the Bath Fire Social Hall on Saturday, July 15 for the 11th annual Bikers Remembering Bikers motorcycle run. The ride, held in honor of fellow bikers, raised over $6,000 for the Dreams Come True Foundation to benefit afflicted in the Greater Lehigh Valley Area.

The yearly ride raises money for the Dream Come True Foundation, a social services organization which seeks to fulfill the dreams of children who are seriously, chronically or terminally ill and reside in the Greater Lehigh Valley area.

The event was coordinated by Al Warner, a biker who has coordinated the event for the past 11 years.

Jim Pasquariello helped to run the event and said he expected a large turnout, saying, “We’re going to raise some money today.”

Pasquariello’s prediction came true, as over 100 bikers registered for the event, and had the opportunity to purchase commemorative t-shirts, 50/50 raffle tickets and a chance to win a three night stay at the Fountain Hotel in Wildwood, New Jersey for the

Roar to the Shore’s 20th Anniversary rally.

In addition to the $6,000 raised, donations are being taken up until the end of the month to benefit Dreams Come True.

A walk through the parking lot revealed various kinds of motorcycles present for the ride including a handbuilt bike with a

The 35th annual Northampton County Junior Conservation School is history, and 21 students aged 14 to 17 learned much in how and why we should preserve our natural environment.

It was a busy week, both at the Northampton County 4-H Center in Bushkill Township, and in a wide area of the county in which the staff and students traveled by

bus. Thankfully, the weather was the best it’s been since the school was started in 1981.

With the help of volunteers from the Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center, to the wildlife conservation officer of the Pa. Game Commission, and many other experts in their field, the students learned lessons by word of mouth and hands-on experiences.

They visited the devastated

landscape of Kittatinny Ridge, the Chrin Landfill in Williams Township, the Juniper Dale Farm as part of the Northampton County Conservation District, and the Keystone Rod & Gun Club in Bath where they shot bows and arrows and firearms on the club’s ranges.

District 10 of the Pennsylvania Trappers Association showed how predators are caught in traps, WCO Brad Kreider told

Kind donation to Scott Holland submitted by BETH BEERS Gregory B. Crosbie died on October 12, 2015, a resident of Bath, Bushkill Township, Northampton County, PA. Greg was married to his wife Christine, who predeceased him. They had no children, so his estate was left to his brother-in-law, John A. Perry (also Executor), numerous nieces and nephews and charitable organizations.

One of the assets at the time of Greg's death was a 2011 Honda Element van, which was handi-

capped accessible. Greg had spent much of his life in a wheelchair and the van, retro-fitted with a lift and hand controls, enabled him to live independently.

Greg and Christine were two of the kindest, nicest people you could ever meet. I actually spent most of a day sitting with Greg right before he passed, reminiscing about his life in the New England area and here in Bath.

They lived simply, and always thought of others.

Knowing Greg's kind heart,

Put Ralph’s & on your Christmas Wish List!

Pictured from left to right: Scott Holland, Mayor Fi, Pattie Holland, Attorney Beth Beers and Borough Manager Brad Flynn – Contributed photo

John (his brother-in-law and Executor) suggested that instead of just trying to sell the van, to find a worthy recipient here in the Bath area, the estate would just donate the van. All of the beneficiaries of the estate agreed to this donation and I contacted Mayor Fi to see if she knew of anyone that could benefit from the vehicle. She immediately suggested Scott Hol-

land, a teacher at George Wolf School, who is disabled and who would appreciate and use the vehicle.

A few weeks ago, Fi and I, along with the principal, met Scott and his wife at the school, and I made the offer. He readily agreed to accept the van, since it would afford him the independence that he was lacking with

his current vehicle. The transfer was made Wednesday, July 13 and he was able to drive the van off the property immediately.

I believe this is just what Greg would have done. Greg was such a good and kind person that to make a donation in his name didn't even require any thought.

It was a way to honor Greg's memory as he lived his life.

In a move expected to calm the anxiety of conservative, establishment Republicans, Donald Trump selected Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate. Pence, who additionally served six terms in the United States House of Representatives, is a Tea Party conservative whose entry into the the discourse of this election is being viewed as a potential mending force to repair fractures within a Republican Party that has been turned upside down by Trump.

Pence’s strong views on defunding Planned Parenthood, supporting international trade deals and his staunch advocacy and signing of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act have made him a beloved conservative within the Republican Party--as well as a prime candidate for Donald Trump to use as a band-aid to heal the party’s Continued on page 5

What Would Happen if…

I was 15 years old when I got my first ‘official’ job flipping burgers and making fries at a local Burger King. A few weeks later I turned 16. Little did I know that by being employed at Burger King my life would change forever. You see, at this job I met a girl.

Fast forward… this girl is my wife of 23 years and counting.

I pass by that particular Burger King when visiting family and friends. Sometimes I just can’t help but wonder what my life would be like if I or my wife never took that job. I joke from time to time that I should have taken my father’s advice and worked at McDonalds…My wife is not particularly fond of this humor.

Have you ever pondered the

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

“what ifs” of your life? Maybe you are wondering ‘what could have been’ if you: went to college, didn’t go to college, married someone else, didn’t get married at all, if you lifted weights, ate better, exercised more, moved down by the ocean, lived in the

July 21-27, 2016 3

mountains, didn’t smoke, never had an alcoholic drink, or whatever else comes to mind.

I think it is a part of our curious human nature to wonder what would have happened if…

While we most certainly cannot go back and change anything, we can look forward to our future. What could happen if: you stopped smoking, ate better, exercised, went back to school, took a chance on a romantic relationship. What could happen if you went for it?

I am of the firm belief that our best days are not behind us. I also believe that it isn’t where we are at; it’s where we are going. This means that we need to essentially be optimistic, not pessimistic.

We are only given so much time here on earth. You only get so many breaths and so many heartbeats. You have been given one opportunity to live, so live!

Opinion An open letter to the Governor of Pennsylvania: In the course of recent events,

Governor Wolf has decided to put a moratorium on executions in PA. He is not the first Governor to ignore the laws of the State but he certainly should be the last.

One of the admitted, convicted and sentenced killers is Michael Ballard. Just an average guy who happened to kill five people and admitted to the heinous crimes.

Let’s recall how that happened.

He was in jail for a brutal murder in Lehigh County years earlier and somehow came up for parole.

I guess the prison authorities believed he was “rehabilitated.” So, the Parole Board, after receiving no objections to his release, put him out on the street and into a halfway house. This should have never happened! If everyone had done their job, Ballard would never have been released and four people would still be alive. The system failed these victims once now the Governor wants it to fail them again by denying justice to them and their families.

During his release he meets a young woman, Denise Merhi.

Initially, she finds him attractive and they date. Ultimately, she decides she wants no more of him. What does he do? He buys a knife, gets a ride to her home, goes inside and viscously kills her, her father Dennis Marsh, her grandfather, Al Marsh, and then kills the neighbor who responds to their cries for help. Kill is not the appropriate description for what he did. In fact, he mutilated the victims.

Five people are now dead.

Subsequently, while dealing with the grief and her two surviving grandchildren, Geri Dorwart dies suddenly and unexpectedly while attempting to care and provide for these two, orphaned kids. I believe Geri’s death was due in a large part to the stress the killings had put on her and having to provide for her grandchildren. They had little or no funds to secure their future.

So, the Governor believes there may be some possibility, though remote, that a convicted, admitted murderer, duly sentenced to death, responsible for five horrible murders should not feel any pain while being executed. Let me get this right in my head. It would be inhumane to kill someone by lethal injection if there were any possibility of that person experiencing any pain whatsoever. You’re kidding – right!

Imagine the pain and suffering he caused to his victims and their families.

Michael Ballard actually asked to be executed at one point. He has left a trail of wrath unlike anything you can imagine. Two children left only with the family of their grandmother to raise

them. The Marsh/Merhi family had little money. The community raised funds to help with funeral and future college costs. But none of that really matters to our Governor who refuses to do his job and sign the execution order required by law. These kids continue to live with the fact that the murderer of their entire family lives on!

It is not the Governor’s job to review the action of the Courts.

We have a Supreme Court for that. It is not the Governor’s job to overrule the justice system of Pennsylvania. It is his job to sign the warrant of execution and end this drawn out fiasco, if for no other reason than to put an end to the entire episode for the survivors.

I realize one could argue the benefits of the death penalty.

Whether you are for it or against it, but it is the law and in this case it is clearly appropriate. If you murder once and then get a second chance and then murder four more people, I believe society has met its obligation to you and you now deserve to die.

I knew the Marsh family for many years. Dennis Marsh was my lifelong friend, as were his mother, Patience and father Al. I knew his daughter and her family. The Marsh’s were good and kind people. The Marsh family reached out to a young boy of twelve when he lost his dad to a heart attack at age forty-one.

They treated that boy as one of the family and invited him into

www.HomeNewsPA.com

their hearts and home. Thank God Patience was not alive to endure the horror that was inflicted on her family. It surely would have challenged her beliefs to the core.

I will never forget the caring love they shared with me as I endured the loss of my dad. Now, I am compelled to tell the Governor it is time to act! I urge Governor Wolf to meet with Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli and ask him to bring the crime scene photos with him to the meeting. I am sure that Mr. Morganelli would be pleased to show what havoc one human being can produce. If nothing else, at least the Governor could say, yes I saw the pictures and yes I know what he did. Maybe then his justifications for mercy would wane and he would do his job!

End this ridiculous charade of misgivings about the feelings of a convicted, admitted killer. We have had other means of execution across the years: hanging, firing squad, electric chair etc. So now why, when we have the most humane process possible can anyone object to removing this scourge from our midst!

State of the Union

staple of Trump’s campaign, as he plans to implement a temporary ban on Muslim immigrants from territories known to produce terrorism inspired by extreme forms of Islam.

Since being selected as Trump’s running mate, Pence has now changed his tone toward Trump’s plan, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he is “very supportive” of Trump’s calls to suspend immigration that could prove threatening to America.

As Trump continually goes after his general election challenger Hillary Clinton for her vote supporting the Iraq War, he is seemingly able to look past Pence’s own vote in favor of President George W. Bush’s invasion of the country.

In an interview with 60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl, Trump defended Pence’s vote saying, “He’s entitled to make a mistake every once in awhile,” while holding firm to the belief that Clinton is not entitled to make that same mistake.

The differences in Trump and Pence’s policy positions present a strange dynamic between a presidential candidate and their running mate. In the event that the president would be unable to serve, whether due to illness, death or another reason, the vice

president is expected to share the views and goals of the president and be able to carry them forward.

If Pence was to succeed Donald Trump’s presidency, there would be major question marks surrounding his goals for the country. It is unlikely that he would share Trump’s disdain toward free trade agreements, his strict national security proposals, or his contrasting foreign policy views.

Pence will likely adopt the positions of Trump as the general election progresses, but Trump could have avoided the skepticism surrounding his pick if he selected former House Speaker Newt Gingrich as his running mate. Gingrich was a rumored pick for Trump who would have offered the political experience Trump needed on his ticket, while sharing positions that mirror those of Trump.

Gingrich echoed Trump’s calls for strict surveillance of muslims, even calling for the U.S. to administer tests to see if muslims believe in sharia law, which Gingrich believes calls for deportation. Gingrich additionally shares Trump’s negative views of the Iraq War, another belief which mirrors Trump’s vision for America and would have made him a more suitable running mate.

Instead, Trump chose unity over policy, a risky move that could unify the Republican Party, but also jeopardize his vision for America if anything were to happen to him while in office.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip It’s been a real nice week, weatherwise, so folks should be having a good time vacationing or whatever they’re doing.

It was great for all those bikers who came to the Bath fire hall social club on Saturday for their ride to support Dream Come True.

There musta been a couple hundred motorcycles around the hall and outside on driveways and parking lots. Terrific support for a great cause to help youngters with crippling diseases! Maybe sometimes we think of bikers as a rough crowd, but that isn’t so.

They have a big heart and respond to causes like this and when they want to show off their patriotism or love for their fellow bikers who might be hurt or have lost their life. So a hearty salute and a big pat on the back to all of ‘em who showed up a hot, sunny Saturday afternoon!!! . . . .It did rain pretty good Monday afternoon, but we could use it, for the sake of farmers’ crops anyway. . . . Ed Pany was real happy to get both his latest columns in the paper last week. He’s a man of history, who knows his stuff. . . .This Thursday through Sunday, July 21 - 24, will be Bath Community Days at Volunteer Firefighters Park on North Chestnut Street. It’s gonna be a ”really big show,” as Ed Sullivan usta say – with carnival rides, musical entertainment, and lots of good food in the stands.

Then there’s a 5K walk/run down at Ciff Cowling Field on Saturday morning at 9:00 o’clock, and even fireworks on Saturday night at 10:00 o’clock back up at Firefighters Park. . . . Next weekend, from July 29 through 31, Holy Family Church over Nazareth way is gonna have their big festival at the end of West Center Street, I see. Rides, bands, and food like clams and rib eye steak sandwiches. To tune up for the weekend, they’re even gonna have an ethnic foods night on Thursday. Wow!

That’s gonna be another big event. The Bushkill Township Fire Co. had their annual carnival last week. It’s sure giving folks plenty of fun and entertainment this summer, all these festivals and picnics. . . It goes on and on.

Just wait till the Spuds and Suds Festival in downtown Bath come next month! . . . .Garry Hunsicker’s veggie stand at his farm in East Allen Township is really nice, after a crew worked on it.

All sorts of veggies are ready for eating now, including sweet corn.

His sons also have stands at the Bath and Northampton farmers markets. . . . Wonder why there’s a stretch of 512 at the bridge north of Moorestown that wasn’t blacktopped with the rest of the highway. Is it a Northampton County bridge or what? . . . .My Essex is on its last legs. Reckon I better check with Brown-Daub down below Bath and see what they have. . . .Have a great week, gang!

CREATIVE CORNER

nounced that I was NOT going to learn to drive.

There were no more driving lessons that winter, but in the spring when I was about to graduate from high school, I started to get the desire to learn to drive because my girl friends could drive and I didn’t want to be left out.

Daddy agreed to buy me a smaller used car if I really wanted to learn to drive. So we went to Ackerman’s Chevrolet just below Bath and I picked out a 1952 green Chevy convertible. Of course, Daddy did not think the convertible was a safe car, so he discouraged me from looking at that one.

In the end, I convinced him that I really wanted the convertible and so I received it as my graduation present.

So it was back to driving lessons. Mother agreed to try again and so I learned to drive on my ’52 Chevy convertible. My friends and I had lots of fun in that car, driving around town with the top down. Oh, to be young and carefree again.

Learning to Drive Save Money and

by KATHLEEN UNGER As soon as I turned 16, I was anxious to get my permit to drive.

I got the permit in October and my mother offered to teach me to drive. I was too shy to take the Driver’s Education class at school because I would be embarrassed by the other students in the car if I made a mistake.

So on a nice Saturday morning, mother and I went out for my first experience behind the wheel of Daddy’s 1949 Buick Roadmaster. It was a big boat of a car and I had no idea how to handle the monster.

I did pretty well on the straightaway but on the way home, Mother instructed me to “turn here.” Instead of putting my foot on the brake, I stepped on the gas pedal and we almost went into a house that was located on the corner. That really scared me and so when we got home, I an-

Water While Still Enjoying a Beautiful Garden

by MELINDA MYERS Too much or not enough water and never when you need it seems to be a common lament of gardeners. Reduce the impact of these weather challenges while conserving water, saving money on water and sewer bills, and growing beautiful gardens with the help of rain barrels. These century old devices are making a comeback as droughts, watering restrictions and storm water runoff are on the rise.

Contact your local municipality before getting started. Some communities have regulations and guidelines for using rain barrels and many offer rebates to homeowners who install them.

Start your conversion to rain barrels one downspout at a time.

You can capture as much as 623 gallons of water from 1,000 square feet of roof in a one-inch rainfall.

This can be a lot to manage when first adapting to this change of habit. Taking little steps allows you to successfully match the use

of rain barrels to your gardening style and schedule.

Make your own or purchase one of the many rain barrels on the market. Regardless of which vessel you choose there are some features to consider when adding a rain barrel to your landscape.

Make sure the top is covered to keep out debris and mosquitoes.

Or select one with a solid lid and opening just large enough to accommodate the downspout.

Look for one with a spigot low on the barrel, so water does not stagnate at the bottom. Use the spigot to fill watering cans or attach a hose. Elevate the barrel on cinder blocks or a decorative stand for easier access and to increase water pressure.

Make sure there is an overflow outlet to direct excess water away from your home’s foundation.

Or use it to link several barrels together, increasing your water collecting capacity. A downspout diverter is another way to manage rain barrel overflows. When the rain barrels are full, this device diverts the water back to the downspout where it is carried away from your home’s foundation.

And the good news is you don’t need to overlook beauty for function. You’ll find many attractive options in a variety of shapes and sizes in garden centers and online catalogs such as Gardener’s Supply (gardeners.com). Some include a recessed top for storing accessories or growing a potted plant. You’ll find ones with decorative finishes that mimic a basketweave, fine terra cotta or wood. Those with a flat backside like the Madison rain barrel fit right next to the house, saving space.

Rain water is naturally softened and free of flouride and chlorine; great for plants. Do not use rain barrel water for drinking, cooking or your pets. Avoid concerns of contamination from roofing materials and debris by only using the water for ornamental plants.

Maintenance is easy. Check for and remove twigs and debris that may collect and block the flow of water. Clean the inside of the barrel at least once a year with an environmentally friendly detergent. Those in cold climates need to drain the rain barrel and cover the opening or turn it upside down for winter storage. Make sure to divert the water away from the house once the down-

spout is disconnected.

Don’t worry about mosquitoes.

Covering the opening with a fine screen and using the water on a regular basis will minimize the risk. Or use the eco-friendly bacterial agent Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) that kills mosquito larvae, but is safe for pets, people and wildlife.

Now is the time to start putting rainwater to work for you and your garden. Look for convenient locations for collecting and using rainwater from the roof of your home, shed or garage. A little effort put in now will result in benefits for years to come.

Bath Mayor Fiorella ReginelliMirabito, who was in attendance supporting the cause, won the 50/50 raffle and chose to donate her winnings back to the foundation, a fitting gesture for an event marked with charitable acts and a generous atmosphere.

In addition to Mayor ReginelliMirabito, members of the Bath Borough Council were also in attendance, as were Northampton County Council members Hayden Phillips and Matthew Dietz.

Before the ride commenced, Warner stood before the crowd and expressed his pleasure over the large number of bikers who were participating.

“What a turnout,” said Warner.

“We do this every year for the kids.”

While not reaching the total of the previous year, the $6,000 raised to benefit children in need capped off a successful event marked with food, bikes and the generosity of the Bath community which will be felt by the children whose dreams will come true due to the contributions of community members.

Home Improvement All New “Making Room For Mom” Home Designs Submitted by HERSHEL RUHMEL

The Lehigh Valley design and building duo of Hershel and Robin Ruhmel recently announced the completion of their brand new Making Room for Mom collection of home floor plans.

The Ruhmels are industry leaders in energy efficient healthy living environments.

They have been the recipient of more than 40 industry awards for their eco-

friendly one-of-a-kind custom homes and additions in the Lehigh, Berks, Northampton and Bucks Counties since 1980.

“Making Room for Mom is a much sought after design series geared for the Baby Boom Generation, their children and especially their grandchildren,” stated Ms. Ruhmel. “Multigenerational design has always been a significant part of our business, so

we decided to create a collection of our best proven concepts that our clients can use when building a new home or remodeling the space they already own.”

Stunning architectural features blend the perfect mix of privacy and convenience with the focus on shared warm gathering spaces, large chefs kitchens, craft rooms and private entrances.

The Ruhmels are also putting the finishing

by homeadvisor.com Looking to refresh or remodel your home? Check this out before you make a move! We asked some of HomeAdvisor’s member pros to weigh in on the New Year’s hottest home trends.

Here are seven you won’t want to miss.

1. Tubs Are Out; Shower Stalls Are In According to the pros, 2016 is the year of the bathroom remodel. Homeowners are shifting away from tub-centric, fivepiece bathrooms and opting instead for walk-in shower stalls complete with seating, shelving and multiple showerheads.

2. Ceramic is Out; Glass Tile is In When it comes to backsplashes and bathroom surrounds, the pros predict that homeowners will scrap ceramics and indulge in glass. In fact, according to Howard Molen, president of HFM Builders in New York, subway tile is an increasingly popular choice for Manhattan remodels — and it shows fewer flaws than ceramic too.

3. Granite is Out; Engineered Quartz is In According to our pros, engineered quartz (the Silestone brand, in particular) has officially ousted Granite as countertop supreme. Why? Because engineered quartz is tougher than granite — and it offers the beauty of stone without the maintenance too. Of course, as Travis Neff of Neff Enterprises in Phoenix, Ariz., points out, quartz generally costs about 2030 percent more than granite.

So, many homeowners opt to stick with granite — the stillworthy tried and true.

4. Lowboy Toilets Are Out; Comfort Height is In The standard lowboy toilet is being dethroned. According to HFM Builders’ Howard Molen, homeowners are shifting toward comfort-height toilets that offer higher, more accessible seating (2 to 3 inches higher than standard).

5. Oak Cabinets Are Out; Paints & Dark Finishes Are In One of the year’s hottest

trends will be a shift from natural oak and cherry cabinets to more modern paints and stains, says Travis Neff of Neff Enterprises. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to update your cabinets without replacing them altogether.

In fact, refinishing (painting or staining) or refacing (replacing the doors and drawer fronts) can save you thousands of dollars!

6. High-end Appliances Are Out; Mid-range Appliances Are In Today’s mid-range appliances look just as nice and perform

just as well as higher-end appliances, explains Howard Molen of HFM Builders. So, there’s no reason for homeowners to spend top dollar on top-of-theline machines.

7. Engineered Flooring is Out; Oak is In Laminate and engineered flooring enjoyed a good stint of popularity, says Howard Molen of HFM Builders, but homeowners quickly learned that changing weather and humidity caused unsightly separation and gapping in their floors.

In 2016, Molen declares, homeowners will turn back to solid oak flooring. Solid wood won’t gap, he says, and it lasts longer and looks better too.

“A Convenient Season”

Paul was in prison and Governor Felix sent to hear him “concerning the faith in Christ” (Acts 24:24-25). As Paul preached the gospel to Felix and his wife, the Bible notes that “as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled.”

“Felix trembled” because Paul’s preaching was “hitting the nail on the head!” Felix had governed with unjust severity and lived under the power of unbridled appetites. His third wife, Drusilla, had been the wife of the king of Emesa. She was a Jewess who had forsaken the husband of her youth and forgotten the covenant of her God. As Paul preached, both Felix and his wife knew they stood guilty before a holy God. Think of it. Paul is a prisoner and Felix is his judge. But it’s not Paul who is trembling; it’s Felix. Felix has an army, but he’s afraid. Felix felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit and “trembled” after Paul mentioned “judgment to come.” The day is coming when we shall all stand at the bar of Almighty God—“the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ” (Romans 2:16). The very thought of having to answer to God for the life that we have lived is a fearful thing as Hebrews 10:31 warns, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” As Paul preached, the Spirit of the Lord reached down into the soul of Felix.

He was under conviction. His soul was quickened. His conscience was sensitive. “Felix trembled” then he gave his answer to Paul, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee” (Acts 24:25).

Felix had trembled with conviction, but we never read of him becoming a Christian. It's the story of millions who hear the gospel but die and go to hell because they put it off and did nothing about it. Don't let it be your story!

Obituaries Barbara Barth

AUG. 28, 1948 – JULY 11, 2016 Barbara Barth, 67, of Wind Gap, died on Monday, July 11 at home. She was the wife of Michael M. Barth for 36 years.

Delaware River from the Martins Creek access to well south in Northampton County. It was there on Thursday morning after an overnight camp-out at WyHit-Tuk Park below Easton that they dropped off some three tons of litter they gathered from the waters of the Delaware, and put it on a pile for county crews to pick it up for the landfill.

On Friday evening, parents’ night, camp director Andy Curtis told the parents and siblings that it costs about $20,000 each year to put on the school program, and feed the staff and students, in addition to the costs of bus travel. In addition to income from sponsors, student fees, there is the strong backing received from the annual Whitetail Deer Classic. Curtis also told about the lessons learned in conservation of our natural resources, and one of the original slogans, “You can carry something from Point A to Point B, but someone has to deal with it.” The students put on skits to display for their parents what they had learned during the week.

The students enjoyed a balanced meal three times a day all week, mainly prepared by Terry Loebsack with the assistance of students from previous years.

Friday night was a covered dish supper for everyone, and on Saturday a meal of chicken, baked potatoes and corn-on-the cob, the latter two ingredients donated by Garry Hunsicker of Twin Maple Farms, Bath. That was after they had written letters to their sponsors or to legislators.

handle and fire rifles, shotguns and pistols by volunteer sportsmen, expert in their craft. Inside, the five groups of students took their turns on the archery range.

After a hot morning on the outdoor range, they returned to the clubhouse, where the sportsmen, staff, volunteers and the boys and girls enjoyed sausage sandwiches wrapped in a delicious sauce, brought there by staff. The students compared their scores, and were surprised how well their aim was.

On Sunday, before breaking camp, they joined in a circle at Jacobsburg Park and appreciated the sun, for, as Director Curtis said on Friday, “Without sun, air and water, we cannot exist.”

Missing from the camp this year, for the first time ever, was Sharon Graver, wife of director and treasurer, Norman Graver, who has been a steady helper.

She has been hospitalized for a month, and to cheer her up, the students gathered for a photo in a group with three papers that read “Get Well Soon.”
