“Awesome” is how Jim Pasquariello, president of the Bath Fire Social Hall board, described the support given to an event held Saturday to benefit the Dream Come True organization, that helps chronically ill children.

Almost 100 motorcyclists participated in the 10th annual “Bikers Remembering Bikers” ride and Pasquariello and orga-

Motorcycles of all makes and models began showing up with their riders shortly before 11 a.m. and they kept streaming in, one by one, and in multiples, as the riders parked their motorcycles by the parking lot wall of the Bath Fire Social Hall. There were husband and wife couples, a mother and son, and mother and

After registering and fellowshipping together, they all took off around 12:20 p.m. and went on the ride that didn’t end until 2:45 p.m. The first thing they did upon returning was go into the social hall and line up for an abundance of food that was prepared for them.

Final events in successful Junior Conservation School

Outside of having to switch from the Delaware River to the Lehigh River because of high waters, everything went on as scheduled for another Northampton County Junior Conservation School that ended Sunday just after noon.

It included a visit to an area cement plant, a tour of the Fulmer farm, and family night when

more than 100 people enjoyed a covered dish supper at the 4-H Center on Friday. That supper was followed by skits performed by the students to show some of the things they learned during their week of conservation education experiences, and camp director Andy Curtis provided some explanation to the parents. One of the most important things the Continued on page 2

Another was trapping and how that is used to trim the animal population in preventing diseases such as mange. During the week they also saw a bear that had been

trapped by a state wildlife conservation officer.

The song “Dragonfly” inspired the youths as they lived a week in the outdoors.

On Saturday, they had a pentathalon of shooting events, in which the youths shot shotguns at claybirds, fired 50 cal. muzzleloader rifles, pistols, and took aim

at targets in the Keystone Rod & Gun Club indoor range. In all events, they were given instruction not only on how to shoot, but also to do it safely, as volunteer sportsmen watched them closely.

Who wants to be a millionaire?

10 Ideas Remember the television show Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

It’s the one that Regis Philbin originally hosted and is now in syndication with Meredith Vieira at the helm? The show made history at the first network game show to offer a million-dollar top prize and was the highest-rated game show in television history.

It also won seven daytime Emmy Awards.

So, who does want to be a millionaire? Are you in business to become a millionaire or are you in business because you love what you do? Or, maybe you are in business to sell something that people need and want. Whatever the reason, if you really want to be a millionaire, here are 10 keys to success: Surround yourself with people who know more than you.

Sacrifice. You must be willing to give something up.

Seek out a “millionaire mentor,” someone who has already done it.

Take on social media, use it as much as you can.

Hang out with millionaires.

Don’t let the risk factor slow you down.

Focus on the business and not the money.

Be willing to change your course and find better ideas.

Make sure you have your on income and expenses.

Set a time frame, set benchmarks, celebrate accomplishments and get back to business.

My guess is that Regis is a millionaire. He gained national attention in 1967 as the sidekick on The Joey Bishop Show and then spent seven successful years on A.M. Los Angeles. He eventually won an Emmy for The Regis Philbin Show before hosting Live!

With Regis and Kathie Lee for over a decade. I’d say that Regis followed many of my ideas for success.

Writer looks to Pa. for rail trails with a strong patriotic touch Submitted by DCNR If you hiked, biked or otherwise enjoyed one of Pennsylvania’s many rail trails over the recent Fourth of July weekend, there’s a good chance you warmed the heart of blogger Jake Lynch, who set a patriotic theme that sent him marching to Pennsylvania—three times.

Visit the Rail-to-Trails Conservancy website and you’ll find three of the author’s selections gracing his “Top 10 Rail Trails for American History: A Fourth of July List.” They are: Heritage Rail Trail County Park in York County; Schuylkill River Trail, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties; and the D & L Trail in Eastern Pennsylvania.

In his post urging us to mark the birth and growth of America by “riding or striding into the past,” Lynch ranked Heritage Rail Trail County Park first in his top-ten list; the Schuylkill River Trail, sixth; and the D & L Trail, ninth.

Other selections, in ranking order, were: Katy Trail State Park, Mo.; East Bay Bike Path, R.I.; Historic battlefield Trail, Tex.; White River Trail, Neb.; Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail, Nev.; Blue

River Trail, Kan.; and the Minuteman Bikeway, Boston.

Of the Heritage Rail Trail County Park in Pennsylvania, Lynch wrote: “It is perhaps the most famous train journey in American history: Abraham Lincoln on his way to the small town of Gettysburg to deliver a speech at the dedication of a military cemetery. Along the Heritage Rail Trail County Park in York County, riders and hikers can now follow Lincoln's journey that day, seeing the same views and landscapes he pondered through the train window as he composed the speech that began ‘Four score and seven years ago...’

“Sadly, Lincoln's final journey would be made along that same Northern Central line just months later. After Lincoln's assassination, the train carried the funeral cortège from Washington, D.C., to his hometown, Springfield, Ill., for burial.”

On the Schuylkill River Trail: “Philadelphia is, of course, one of the best places for reflecting on the grand moments of America's past. For those eager to pedal out of town for their history excursion, the Schuylkill River

Trail takes you from the heart of the city to Valley Forge National Historical Park, where thousands of Continental Army soldiers camped during the American Revolutionary War. One of the most popular attractions of the park is the restored colonial home used by General George Washington as his headquarters during the encampment.”

And, the D & L Trail: “If you've got the time, the 165-mile D & L Trail through eastern Pennsylvania is a journey through many eras of American history. Here are just a few historic highlights of this wonderful cross-state rail-trail: In Catasauqua, about 70 miles north-east of Philadelphia, the trail runs right by the George Taylor House, a National Historic Landmark that was the residence of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence; In Allentown, see where the Liberty Bell was hidden from British forces during the Revolutionary War; In Easton, the Declaration of Independence was read from the steps of Northampton County's first Court House on July 8, 1776, just the third time it had been read to the American public. Easton Heritage Day, held this year on Sunday, July 7, celebrated that historic moment with colonial reenactments, period pageants and other festivities; The trail passes by Washington Crossing Historic Park, where George Washington and a small army of men crossed the Delaware in a surprise attack that changed the course of the Revolutionary War. You may have seen the famous painting by Emanuel Leutze, but have you ever walked into the McConkey Ferry Inn, where Washington and his aides made plans the night of the crossing?”

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Veterans Deserve Remembrance

What happened to the tradition of the retiring of the flags at the American Legion? The first reason presented by the board was “it might rain.” The second reason was the same as the first!

Since then, no word of anything happening. I don’t recall any golf tournaments being cancelled because of rain.

Our Veterans living and deceased deserve better. Lets not forget their sacrifices!

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual Does your supplement have air bags?

A few months ago my daughter obtained her drivers permit. Like every new driver, my daughter has high hopes of getting her own vehicle someday. We have started looking and initially we have been discussing color, body style, miles per gallon and other items that are seemingly important. Should she consider four doors, two or a hatchback? She is an athlete and could use the extra room for equipment. Automatic would be preferable, yet my daughter also likes the idea of shifting. I loved a manual back then also.

However, recently my daughter was involved in an accident near our home. She was a rear seat passenger in a vehicle that was struck by another vehicle at some thirty miles per hour. To our horror, the vehicle my daughter was in flipped, skidded and came to rest on its side against the guardrail. Praise God that all the girls walked away from this accident.

We all know others who have not.

My heart sinks every time I consider the “what if ’”.

As you might imagine, this accident has had a significant impact on all our lives. Suddenly, color doesn’t matter. We are now researching crumple zones and air bags among many other safety features. If anything, this accident has taught all of us what truly matters.

I have been thinking that, just like my sudden focus on what is important in the automobile safety realm, we all too often take our health for granted until a crisis happens. A “small” heart attack, an abnormal test scare, waiting for a biopsy result: these are wake up calls aren’t they? Have you had yours? If not, why would you wait for one to occur?

May I suggest that you take a moment to assess where your

health is at and where do you want your health to be in the future. For myself, I would like to be able to enjoy my 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. I would like to be full of vigor and vitality. While none of us can predict the future, much like an unforeseen car accident, we can implement various safety techniques that may help.

For the purpose of this article, may I suggest the basics of exercise, clean dietary consumption and focused nutritional supplementation. We all know that moderate exercise will do wonders for the body, mind and spirit. Eating tons of veggies is also a good decision. Not to be left out is the importance of consistent intake of the correct supplements your body needs to survive and thrive.

The confusion about supplements is that we are really just not quite sure what we should be taking, how much, which brand and for how long. We also are concerned about over dosing or having a reaction. I understand your concern so let’s talk about what to consider.

I recommend taking whole food concentrate supplements. I have spoken about this before at length. When you essentially take kale, broccoli and brussel sprouts that are ground into a daily supplement, you are improving the health of your body. Taking a whole-food mineral supplement with all its living, synergistic enzymes and natural co factors is a fantastic decision, just like get-

ting wrap around air bags in my daughters vehicle.

Conversely, from my natural perspective, taking synthetic, man-made vitamins over years and decades is not protecting my health. I think eating an orange, red beet, radishes, blueberries and Swiss chard is a much better option, whether from the grocery store or in concentrated tablet form.

Does your supplement have air bags? Mine does. My best to you.

by Alice Wanamaker An online fundraiser, hosted

by GoFundMe.com, has been established for the Lehigh Township Police Department to assist them in raising funds to build a housing facility for dogs that are found in the township.

The online fundraiser reads as follows: “The Lehigh Township Police Department is seeking your financial support in a project for housing of stray and lost dogs. Currently, Lehigh Township maintains two dog kennels to house dogs until they are either reunited with their owners or adopted to a new home. These kennels are in disrepair, and offer dogs no real shelter during inclement weather. During the cold winter months dogs are exposed to the frigid temperatures, high winds, snow or rain. Often times during the summer, the dogs are exposed to extreme heat and sun.

Lehigh Township Police Department is seeking financial

sponsorship to build a new three run, indoor-outdoor kennel. The kennel would be constructed locally and provide the dogs with the appropriate shelter during the harsh northeast weather that we all know can have grave consequences to stray dogs.

All proceeds will go strictly toward the kennel project. Donors who provide $100 or more in funds will have a brick paver memorializing the contribution.

The Lehigh Township Police Department appreciates your consideration and looks forward to your kind donation.”

A $10,000 goal has been set for the fundraiser which will include the entire cost of the project as no public/tax funding will go towards the necessary updates.

To date, $3,390 has been raised.

Donations can be made online at http://www.gofundme.com/ z3uphtg or by contacting Lehigh Township Police Chief Scott Fogel.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The heat and humidity sure hit hard over the weekend and into Monday. When the temperatures get up into the high 80’s and almost mid-90’s, that’s HOT, and the humidity makes it ten times worse. Thank goodness for air conditioners when it’s like that! . . . .It didn’t stop all those motorcycle riders that came to town on Saturday though. They even said it was a real nice ride they took through the countryside in a benefit for Dream Come True. Hats off to all of ‘em and to the folks that organized such a fine event to help kids that are crippled or have serious diseases! . . . . I saw in last week’s paper that this Saturday the Lehigh Township Athletic Association will have a car show up at Indian Trail Park in Pennsville. I see that a Boy Scout troop is gonna make peach cobbler for something good to eat while looking over the cars. That’s something Troop 33 here in town used to do when the firefighters had their carnival. . . .Sure enjoyed the peach shortcake with peach ice cream they served up at the Kreidersville church festival on Saturday. They had a car show, too. You don’t hafta go to Das Awkst Fescht over Macungie way to see antique and classic cars. . . .The youngsters around here are making good use of their vacation time by going to Bible school and having fun while they’re learning.

Theme’s like Mount Everest and Camp Kilimanjaro are making it extra interesting. . . . Haven’t heard how Anna Diehl is making out after her recent fall. Anybody know? . . . .Sweet corn is now on

lots of backyard barbecue menus, and there’s plenty to buy around here from veggie stands and at the farmer’s market. Even without salt if you’re diabetic, the butter will do. . . .Don’t look now, but the Phillies have won four in a row. We’ll see what happens before trading time. . . . John and Ed enjoy meeting their friends in Bath when they come over here for breakfast at the Town & Country. . . .Next Friday is the Great Bath Duck Race down along the Monocacy Creek. Carol Heckman is looking for plenty of people to buy tickets for their favorite rubber duck floating down the creek. Get ‘em over at the farmer’s market or on creekside the day of the race. . . .Blue Moo has taken over the former Shut the Door up in Klecknersville, but I also saw a sign saying Future Site of the Blue Moo up along Bushkill Center Road in Bushkill Township. Maybe two locations? . . . .Good news.

There’s a cold front coming that will clear out the humidity with lower temperatures. Iced tea has kept me going, but humidity is a drag. Stay cool if you can, gang.

See ya!

(NAPSI)—Get your summer off to a healthy and delicious start with the ultimate summer snack—Mango Salsa! Mango’s bright flavor and natural sweetness make it the perfect foundation for a versatile fruit salsa that can be paired with other summertime favorites or enjoyed solo as a refreshing snack.

Evolution Of Salsa Originating from the Spanish word for “sauce,” salsa first exploded on the American food scene in the 1980s. Available raw or cooked, mild or hot, and in a rainbow of colors, there is something for every palate.

With trends and seasonality in mind, chefs and home cooks began experimenting with creative ingredients. In recent years, exotic chili peppers and smoky flavors like chipotle found their way into the mix as Americans’ love for spicy foods continues to heat up.

Today, salsa is one of America’s favorite condiments. Salsa frequently tops must-have lists for picnics and game-watching parties.

The best thing about salsa is that the possibilities are endless!

Enjoy thousands of flavor combinations using fruits, vegetables, chili peppers, citrus, beans and herbs. They’re also supereasy to throw together. Just toss all the ingredients in a bowl to create a

NAZARETH AREA

Bardreau working toward breakout rookie season in 2015-16 By: Tony Androckitis (@TonyAndrock_TCG) From his senior year at Cornell University and the tail end of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms inaugural season to this summer at Philadelphia Flyers Development camp, incoming rookie Cole Bardreau knows what to expect entering the 2015-16 season – his first full season of professional hockey. He came to The Skate Zone in Voorhees, New Jersey with a sense of confidence and familiarity having played alongside some of the participants of the camp with the Phantoms in March and April.

“The biggest thing is it’s nice to be at a development camp where you are already part of the organization,” Bardreau said, noting he attended development camps with the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings on a tryout basis last year.

“It was kind of almost like I was trying to earn my spot there [in a development camp]. Here I come in with a little more confidence, already knowing some of the guys. It makes it that much easier,” he added.

Bardreau signed a two-year entry level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers back on March 12, 2015 following the completion of his senior season at Cornell University, where he led the team in scoring with 22 points (five goals, 17 assists) in 30 games. The 5-10,

185 pound center from Fairport, New York made his pro debut with the Phantoms eight days later against the Hartford Wolfpack in Connecticut at the XL Center – a game in which he tallied his first pro goal as well.

“It’s a different style of play.

It’s more controlled, more skill,” Bardreau said of his 15-game AHL stint with the Phantoms last spring. “Just to get those games under my belt and be fresh coming in, coming into these camps already knowing some guys and staff, upper management is huge.

You don’t have to worry about that you can just come and play hockey and have fun.”

At the professional level, Bardreau was molded into a bottom-six, two-way forward – learning how to play away from the puck and in the defensive zone under former Phantoms head coach Terry Murray last season. While the former Cornell standout is under six feet tall, he has come into camp stronger and appears much bigger than he did last season with the Phantoms.

He came into development camp earlier this month ready to learn.

“It’s not as much of you getting observed or judged early in July, they’re just trying to help their guys develop,” Bardreau said of the Flyers annual develop-

ment camp. “I love getting better every day, so it’s a great fit.”

Playing a physical, gritty twoway game on a consistent basis was something Bardreau’s former Phantoms coach was looking to instill in him. Having played in some AHL games last season and knowing he’ll be preparing for his first full season of professional hockey gives Bardreau extra time to work out and get ready for his rookie season.

“Going to college, we had to get in there in mid-August,” Bardreau recalled. “It’s nice to have that extra month there to prepare and get that much stronger and build up that much more muscle so that you can last through the season.”

While Bardreau is thankful for the experience he gained in Lehigh Valley last spring, the taste of pro hockey has him wanting more in 2015-16.

“I came in at the end of the season and a lot of guys were already pegged in spots. I was getting I guess not as much ice time as I would have liked,” Bardreau said of joining the Phantoms on an amateur tryout contract back in March.

“I think next year I can come in with the confidence that I know I can play [in Lehigh Valley], know I can be a big factor and hopefully gain more ice time too.”

Hindu Sees Jesus

Prabhu Charan was born in India. He was the seventh son of devout Hindus, but his six brothers had died from a strange disease. In an attempt to break the curse of death, his parents dedicated him to be a Hindu priest.

When he was just 18 months old, his father also died. Convinced that she was the greatest of all sinners, Prabhu’s mother committed her son and herself to a life of Hindu devotion. Passing through the bazaar one morning, 12year-old Prabhu noticed three musicians. One played a violin while the other two sang. “Who are those men?” he asked his mother. “Oh, just some men singing of how their God died for the sins of mankind.” “Mother! None of our gods died for us. If their God died for them, He must love them very much.”

A few weeks later, Prabhu went to live with his uncle in another village where he would prepare for the Hindu priesthood. Each day on his way to school, he passed an Assemblies of God church. He always felt a warmth inside as he passed. On Sunday mornings when he heard the church bells ring, he went and stood at the church gate. One Sunday, Missionary Valborg Frandsen called to him. Speaking reassuringly, she took him into the church.

When Pastor J.J. Singh finished his sermon, he invited people to come forward to pray. “It was as though a hand pushed me off the bench,” Prabhu said. “I found myself standing in front of the congregation simply praying, “God who died for the sins of mankind, come to me.”

Suddenly a brilliant light filled the sanctuary. In the light was a Man hanging. “Blood was coming down the Man’s face and dripping from his hands,” Prabhu said. “He said to me three times, ‘I am the God who died for the sins of mankind.’” Prabhu fell to his knees and wept. For two hours he cried and prayed. When he rose from his knees, he was a Christian.

Prabhu’s uncle was incensed by his conversion and made plans to kill him.

To save her son’s life, his mother sent him to Missionary Frandsen who cared for him for 10 years. He attended Bible College and entered the ministry.

Later he was elected the general superintendent for the North India Assemblies of God, for more than 20 years! –Mountain Movers, 9/92

DCNR secretary addresses campers on summer jobs, environmental careers available with department

submitted by DCNR It was the one question her entire audience wanted to ask: “How did you pick an environmental career?”

For the answering DCNR secretary, Cindy Adams Dunn, the indicators always were there—a childhood love of the outdoors, a developing interest in hiking, birding and fishing and a desire to share that attachment with others as a camp counselor.

“There wasn’t anything like this when I was younger,” Dunn told her audience of Exploring Careers Outdoors campers. “I knew I was interested in nature, but it wasn’t clear to me at that point that it could be a career. I really thought the only way to see the world was to be a truck driver.”

“You are all fortunate to be here,” the secretary told the campers. “You will learn how to turn your passion for the outdoors into a career.”

In a visit Monday to Nescopeck State Park, Luzerne County, Dunn called upon high school students to consider careers in conservation and recreation, and she reminded the young campers there is no better place to start than a summer job in Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests.

“DCNR actively seeks and supports youth jobs in conservation and recreation, as these help mold the interests and commitment of our future leaders in these fields,” Dunn told the student campers gathered as part of their week-long Exploring Careers Outdoors program. “So many of our department specialists—the foresters, park managers, geologists and biologists, all providing invaluable public service—can trace their careers back to summer jobs in the outdoors.

“I am happy to say, as part of

Gov. Wolf ’s efforts to hire young workers in summer jobs, DCNR has increased its hiring of youth positions in state parks, bringing the DCNR total this summer to more than 550 positions across the state.”

Three of the newly hired summer workers were on hand Monday to meet the secretary and tell her what they did as seasonal employees with the Bureau of State Parks. They were Nathan Fegley of Barnesville; D’Mitri Yakushin of Kingston; and Tom Duffy of Collegeville.

The governor announced in June a $7.5 million summer jobs initiative to create over 3,700 new jobs statewide. The funding—$3.5 million in federal funding and $4 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds—will help create summer jobs, primarily in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

The secretary noted this summer DCNR is employing more 180 lifeguards at its state park swimming pools, as well as more than 65 paid interns in field research, office research, GIS mapping, environmental education and other fields. Also, about 300 young, seasonal wage workers comprise roughly 28 percent of the department’s seasonal workforce.

Each year, DCNR’s Exploring Careers Outdoors Camp introduces 20 to 25 students in grades 10-12 to conservation and environmental careers, and encourages their pursuit. From wildlife projects and stream sampling of aquatic life, to forestry skills, daily activities offer students a hands-on, team-building learning experience in an outdoor setting.

“ECO Camp has become one of DCNR’s strongest success

stories since beginning 13 years ago,” said Dunn. “We’ve successfully worked with hundreds of young people to hone their awareness of the natural world and the variety of related careers available to them.”

The six-day camp began Sunday, July 12, and is based at Episcopal House and Chapel, Mountain Top, Luzerne County. The camp is near Nescopeck State Park and about 10 miles south of Wilkes-Barre.

“Past campers have come from small towns and large cities, forming a unique pool of intelligence, spirit and commitment to environmental improvement,” Dunn said. “In addition, many DCNR employees have supported this camp effort, some coming back year after year.”

The camp introduces 20 to 25 students in grades 10-12 to conservation and environmental careers, and encourages their pursuit. From wildlife conservation projects and stream sampling of aquatic life, to forestry skills, daily activities will offer students a hands-on, team-building learning experience in an outdoor setting.

Participants are exposed to a wide range of career experiences, including water quality assessments, geology field studies, and overnight camping experiences.

They also meet conservation professionals to learn about career opportunities.

Offered free of charge, the instruction and daily activities are overseen by specialists and officials of DCNR’s bureaus of state parks, forestry, and topographic and geologic survey. After the camp, attendees will have a chance to seek internships, mentoring and job-shadowing positions.

Environmental hearing board denies Summary judgment to PADEP and Synagro -- allowing challenge to sewage Sludge dumping to advance Submitted by MAYA VAN ROSSUM On July 1, the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board (“EHB”) rejected motions by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“PA DEP”) and Synagro MidAtlantic (“Synagro”), a biosolids management company, to issue a partial summary judgment ruling in support of the application of sewage sludge to three farms located in Upper Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, PA. The approval of the sewage sludge application is being challenged by the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Sludge Free Upper Mt. Bethel (Sludge Free “UMBT”) and 10 local residents are concerned about the impacts on drinking water, streams, wetlands, endangered species, neighboring properties, and the community.

On December 23, 2013 the PA DEP issued site suitability determination letters that allowed sewage sludge application

by Synagro on the three farms located in Upper Mount Bethel, PA. The Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Sludge Free UMBT and local residents challenged the determination for failing to

fully consider the environmental impacts of the project, ensuring compliance with state and Delaware River Basin Commission (“DRBC”) environmental mandates, and protecting the community’s environmental rights as articulated in Article I, Section 27 of the PA Constitution.

Referring to the legal standard that allows for summary judgment where there is no genuine issue of material fact, and the EHB’s obligation to determine whether the PADEP’s actions in reviewing and approving the sewage sludge application to the three farms “constitute reasonable exercises of the Department’s discretion that are lawful, supported by the facts, and consistent with the Department’s obligations under the Pennsylvania Constitution” the EHB determined that a partial summary judgment ruling in favor of PA DEP and Synagro was not appropriate.

“The EHB has recognized, as the Commonwealth Court has, that Article 1, Section 27 of the PA Constitution puts a “thumb on the scale” in favor of environmental protection,” Continued on page 16

Local Residents Honored

Left: Joseph Kraus, Ph.D., director of the Honors Program and Jayde Hooven. Right: Kaitlyn Kuntzman and Joseph Kraus, Ph.D., director of the Honors Program.

Local residents were among the 30 graduates of The University of Scranton's Honors Program, which is among the Jesuit university's programs of excellence. Students in the Honors Program pursue a rigorous education that stresses independent work through close engagement with professors and other honors students, including the preparation, presentation and defense of a research or creative project during their senior year.

Local residents graduating from the Honors Program were: Jayde Hooven of Northampton a biology major is a Class of 2015 summa cum laude graduate of the Honors Program at Scranton. Hooven's thesis was "Actin Filament Associated Protein 1 is a Novel Regulator of Glucose and Lipid Metabolism," completed with the guidance of faculty mentor Jess Cunnick, Ph.D., assistant professor of cell biology. Kaitlyn Kuntzman of Northampton (18067) a biology major is a Class of 2015 cum laude graduate of the Honors Program at Scranton. Kuntzman's thesis was "Assessment of Bone Microarchitecture in the Lumbar Vertebral Body of Mice," completed with the guidance of faculty mentor Maria Squire, Ph.D., associate professor of biology.

said Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper. “Up until now, in Pennsylvania and beyond, industry and corporations have always had the upper hand in the courts and the political arena, relegating environmental protection to an after thought and third class status. When we make environmental protection the priority in our decisionmaking we are in fact making people protection our priority. Industrial operations, development projects, and other corporate and political goals that harm peoples’ ability to drink safe water, to breath healthy air, to live safely in their homes free from pollution, floods and invasion, should not be allowed to advance; corporations and politicians should be forced to find a better way; this decision helps make that point,” added van Rossum.

“This decision by the PA EHB is well in keeping with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that gave Pennsylvania’s Constitutional Environmental Rights Amendment substantive meaning,” said Jordan Yeager, counsel on the Synagro case as well as a member of the legal team that successfully secured the Robinson Twp, Delaware Riverkeeper Network et. al. decision declaring portions of Pennsylvania’s Act 13 unconstitutional for violating, among other things, Article I, Section 27 of the PA Constitution. “With this ruling we see how the PA Supreme Court decision and the Commonwealth court decisions regarding environmental rights ensure that our government must give due consideration to environmental impacts and protections in the decisions they make,” Yeager added.

The three sites in question are called the Potomac, Sunrise, and Stone Church Farms. All three

farm sites drain into the Allegheny Creek, which flows into a section of the Delaware River designated as Special Protection Waters by the DRBC. Some of the farm sites also drain into the River directly and/or into other tributary streams. The farm sites also drain into neighboring and nearby wetlands.

Sewage sludge can contain contaminants ranging from a broad array of pathogens and heavy metals to pharmaceutical, steroidal, and flame retardant compounds.

The legal challenge to the application of the sewage sludge on the farms expresses concerns for ground water contamination, contamination of drinking water wells, polluted runoff entering the Allegheny Creek, damage to exceptional value wetlands and endangered species (blue-spotted salamanders – a PA designated endangered species), and asserts that the PA DEP did not give the Synagro proposal the hard look that Article I Section 27 of the constitution and state regulations require.
