The annual Kazoo Parade was held on Monday morning to mark the fourth of July holiday in Nazareth Borough. More than 125 people played the kazoos and made their own music to celebrate as they walked from Nazareth High School to the borough’s municipal building. They were led by two World War II Jeeps, and the marchers wore plenty of red, white and blue to mark Independence Day. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned by the Bath – Nazareth Regional Chamber of Commerce. Long delays of time without anything happening resulted in most of the crowd departing for home. Lance Collangelo of the Cham-
ber thanked a number of businesses and people for the kazoos and other items that were provided. He also thanked the people who came out for the ceremony after the parade. Cynthia Rodriques sang “This Land Is Your Land” to open the program, and later the “Star Spangled Banner,” as the 240th anniversary of this nation was commemorated. State Representatives Joe Emrick and Marcia Hahn had brief remarks, thanking those who came out, and expressing thanks to the veterans who served their country in the cause of freedom. Ms. Hahn also said, “I wish there were more young people, because it’s so important that we never forget.” A patriotic decorated Jeep at the Nazarath Kazoo Parade. –Home News photo Continued on page 10

are suspected of vandalizing the Circa 1700’s Ralston-McKeen House in the Governor Wolf Historical Society complex in East Allen Township. Volunteer Kerry Meixsell had just parked his car about 1:30 p.m. and came in the back door of the historic structure when he encountered two girls inside, who he estimated are 14 to 16 years of age. As he talked to one of the girls, she said the boys ran out the front door. This was confirmed by neighbors. What Meixsell saw was smashed candles, more than a dozen small candles lit, candle globes smashed, sconces torn off walls, smashed tinware, paper towels, nails and garbage strewn along the floor, and graffiti spray painted on walls, much of it with obscenities. He didn’t have his cell phone with him to alert police, but after 20 minutes was able to convince a girl to use hers and call 9-1-1. The call was placed and police were alerted. Meixsell said he believes the youths are local as they came in on foot. He came to the RalstonMcKeen House to do some trim work as the Governor Wolf Historical Society is working on restoring the home. “It costs

Meixsell also volunteers at Jacobsburg and at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center, and he and his wife have traveled to various places of historical interest. Linda Kortz said, “It makes you sick to see what these kids did,” as she looked at the damages. It was unclear if any arrests were made, but the State Police forensic team came to the site to check for fingerprints. Kathy Wilhelm said the society has hired architect Benjamin Walbert to design work, and a contractor will be selected shortly to take out the frame on the second floor of a north wing and to put in a walk-in fireplace in the kitchen that will restore that portion to its 1700s charm. Donations wanted The society has put some money aside to do the restoration work, but they need much more to accomplish their goals. She said, “The sad thing is that we’re just getting started and kids come in and destroy what we’ve done.” The public is asked to make donations to the Historical Society so

Emrick supports Spending plan for 2016-17 Key budget bill Now moves to The Senate
submitted by SCOTT LITTLE State Rep. Joe Emrick (R-Nazareth) joined members on both sides of the aisle Tuesday in supporting Senate Bill 1073, the key piece in the package of legislation that forms the 2016-17 state budget. If approved by the state Senate, the bill would be sent to Gov. Tom Wolf ’s desk for his signature into law. Emrick issued the following statement upon passage of the bill: “Senate Bill 1073 becoming law would represent an historic investment in public school education, including a $200 million increase in basic education funding for a total investment of $5.89 billion. The money will be distributed using the bipartisan Basic Education Funding Commission formula, which was signed into law a few months ago. This formula finally addresses the funding inadequacies that cheated the schools in the 137th District over the last 20 years. “Schools in the 137th Legislative District will receive the fol-

What it does not include are the Personal Income Tax and sales tax increases from Gov. Tom Wolf ’s wish list. “Senate Bill 1073 also targets the opioid epidemic by appropriating $5 million to the Department of Drug and Alcohol prevention for emergency addiction treatment and another $10 million to the Department of Human Services for behavioral health services. “It was said many times on the floor during debate that no budget bill is perfect.

MondayWash day
My mother had a strict routine for getting household chores accomplished. Monday was washing/ironing/mending day. All in one day. Early on a Monday morning she would fill the old Maytag washer with very hot water. Then she would dump in the Ivory flakes. First to go into the scalding water were the whites. She used a broom handle to dig the items out of the very hot water and stuff them into the wringer to be squeezed out of soapy water. Next the clothes would get dunked into the cold water in the twin rinse tubes. Again the clothes would be stuffed into the wringer for the final squeeze of rinse water. Next the clothes would get hauled out to the wash line behind the garage and hung to dry in the fresh air. Next into the washer would go the colored clothes and finally Daddy’s work clothes, which were the dirtiest, left until last. As soon as the sheets were dry, she would start ironing them. If there were too many wrinkles, she used a soda bottle with a sprinkler cork filled with water to moisten the clothes. After ironing, next she would mend any tears, rips or loose pockets. She did it all in one day…wow. We have it so much easier today.

Ice Cream World Burglary
submitted by TROOP M, BETHLEHEM The South Whitehall Township Police Department (SWTPD) is investigating a burglary that occurred at Ice Cream World, 3512 Hamilton Blvd. in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County in the early morning hours of June 20. The two suspects pictured in the surveillance photos cut the alarm, phone and cable lines before entering and using a crow bar to disable the interior alarm speaker. They searched the store office before discovering a secure door that they could not gain entry to. They left and returned approximately two hours later with a sledgehammer and crowbars, utilizing these tools to gain access to the secure room. They pulled out a sentry safe and again, using the sledgehammer, gained access. They stole a total of eight bank bags and cash from a drawer, the total estimated to be in excess of $15,000. Both suspects wore balaclava type masks and gloves and appear to be white males, middle age. One suspect was wearing a Henley type shirt with a large “G” on the back tag near the collar, possibly inside out. If anyone has information to the identity of these males, please contact South Whitehall Township Police Department, Detective Chad Moyer, SWTPD, at 610-794-3332. There is no vehicle associated with this incident.

Can the Libertarian Party Make an impact in November? by JUSTIN SWEITZER Without even knowing the winner, the 2016 presidential election will already go down in history for its unprecedented and unpredictable nature. The recordbreaking populist candidacy of Donald Trump has survived long past what pundits and commentators had expected, despite frequent incendiary remarks that have become a staple of the real estate mogul’s campaign. On the Democratic side of the picture, Hillary Clinton is fighting to rise beyond scrutiny, as well as an FBI investigation, surrounding her use of a private email server as Secretary of State. The remains of her handling of the 2012 attacks at a U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya are also still haunting her campaign, as her opposing political counterparts look to weigh her down on her path to becoming the first female to occupy the Oval Office. Accompanying the two candidates is remarkably high disapproval from American citizens. A recent Gallup poll showed Donald Trump has the highest unfavorability rating in over 70 years, with a 46 percent unfavorability score, rising above Barry Goldwater’s 26 percent unfavorability rating when he was the Republican nominee in 1964. Clinton also has bested Goldwater’s previous record during this election cycle, claiming a 33 percent unfavorability score in the same Gal-
lup poll. As Americans prepare for a general election matchup between two of the most disliked candidates in history, former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, along with running mate Bill Weld, is looking to present Americans with an alternative option to Clinton and Trump with a campaign built upon personal freedoms and non-intrusive small government – the two predominant principles of Libertarian politics. Johnson’s struggle for relevancy is not due to the substance of his particular policy proposals, but his ability to project them into the nation’s political discourse. According to recent Wall Street Journal polls, Johnson is polling nationally with 10 percent. That leaves him just five percent short of the 15 percent requirement to be included into the general election debates. The former New Mexico Governor has often described himself to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal, comparing his views on same-sex marriage, a woman’s right to choose, and ending the drug war to Senator Bernie Sanders, with Johnson frequently touting the similarities that the two share. But while Johnson may find himself left-ofcenter with his social beliefs, his conservative economic beliefs are anchored in the free market principles engrained into Republican
values. The conservative side of Johnson is likely to draw interest from Republicans disenfranchised with Donald Trump, such as 2012’s Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who has begun to show interest in Johnson. The Libertarian nominee’s plans for immigration reform aim to repair a broken system without militarizing the border and treating immigrants in an inhumane manner. Johnson’s campaign website calls border fences and military-esque border patrol “punitive measures” that ignore the true issues plaguing the country’s immigration system. Johnson’s appeal to both sides of the political spectrum could make him a prime candidate for voters disenfranchised with both Clinton and Trump. If Johnson is able to earn his way onto the debate stage, he may surprise voters by offering an appealing alternative to liberals and conservatives alike. Even with general election exposure, Johnson’s path to a general election victory will likely remain small, but a strong showing could add legitimacy to third party candidacies going forward – a breath of fresh air to Americans sick of partisan-gridlock and establishment politicians in the Democratic and Republican parties. Johnson has the potential to woo voters with his promises to balance the U.S. budget, cut taxes, limit the power of the federal government, and preserve the constitutional freedoms of all Americans. Johnson’s ability to reach 15 percent in national polls will determine whether his campaign can earn a chunk of American votes in November or become another independent candidacy that will go down as another footnote in election history.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Outside of firecrackers and fireworks going off at night, the Fourth of July celebration was kinda quiet on Monday. I heard there was a big celebration of a birthday down by Hunsickers though. Anyhow, the weather was good and folks enjoyed backyard picnicking and family gettogethers. . . . I see the Catholic church picnic, the Bushkill Township Fire Company carnival, Northampton Exchange Club’s community fair, and the Salem church blueberry festival are all on at about the same time this weekend, so I reckon folks will travel in between to take them all in. P.A.K. from Bath, Pa. is up in heaven, so no clams for him, or at least I think so. There will be plenty down here at the Catholic church picnic. The “Crazy Hearts” band will be covering a couple of the events, too. . . . Marvin Werkheiser and his Lions buddies will be busy at Northampton this week calling out Bingo numbers. . . .I hear Roger Rehrig is on the sick list. Here’s wishing him well . . . .Phillies are going pretty good right now, hoping to move back up to the .500 level. They’re finally getting good hitting along with the pitching . . . . With the baseball season about in the middle, the Home Run Derby and All-Star game will be here soon. Can’t wait. It’s always exciting. . . .Ye Ed tells me the names of the three
folks looking over some scrapbooks and clippings at last week’s story on Harmony Grange’s 100th anniversary. They were Barbara Dailey, Cynthia Pulcini and John Frack. Just wanted to set the record straight. . . .John’s class of 1948 over at Northampton High School has been taking a hit lately. First Alton Mann, then Mimmie Katz, and now the wife of Norman Zader. My sympathy at their passing. . . .Just as expected, the school tax bills were in the mail just before the holiday. I hope you saved up enough to pay ‘em off. We’ve been reading of too many foreclosures on homes the past year. . . . It’s getting near presidential convention time down in Philly and over in Cleveland. The primary season has been going hot and heavy, so we should expect plenty more in the final months before election. . . .But as I watched TV interviews on the street lately, it’s sad how little people know of who and what happened in history. Reckon that’s from taking it out of schools. . . . A woman and two kids were mighty lucky they weren’t hurt more last week up in Allen Township when their car went over a bridge along Indian Trail Road and landed on its roof. . . .Saw W.C.O. Kevin on TV last week after a bear was captured while running around over in Whitehall . . . .It’s too bad we don’t have a Bath Legion ball team this year. I hear one of the coaches hadta get a serious operation and the other two didn’t take up the slack. We’ve had some good teams in Bath over the years. . . .Summer’s rolling right along. Enjoy it, gang!

“Ani-Meals on Wheels” Northampton County receives $2,500 grant submitted by JIM WATERS Knowing that seniors with pets are 36% less likely to report loneliness and have 21% fewer doctor visits, Meals On Wheels of Northampton County is proud to announce that it has received a $2,500 grant from Meals on Wheels America to support its client pet support program.

When It’s Time To Not Drive
(NAPSI)—Staying on the road to safety may be harder for many elderly drivers than they realize. The Danger According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, senior citizens account for only nine percent of the population but almost 14 percent of fatal traffic accidents. As people age, their driving patterns change. Retirement, different schedules and new activities affect when and where they drive. Although most older adults drive safely because they have a lot of experience behind the wheel, when they are involved in crashes, they may be hurt more seriously than younger drivers. Many see driving as an important part of staying independent, and people 70 and older tend to keep their licenses longer and drive more miles than in the past. What To Do Elderly drivers and the people who care for them should have a trusted doctor check their eyes and reflexes to determine whether they should be driving anymore. If it seems a driver you care about should be off the road, listen to his or her concerns and feelings on the subject. Explore the possibilities. Are there solutions that could keep him or her driving safely longer, such as getting new glasses or only driving during the day? Try to arrange for alternative transportation so he doesn’t feel trapped at home. If she sells her car, remind her of the money she’ll save on insurance and maintenance—which can be used for buses and taxis. Having this talk may not be easy but you could save a life.

Council president Dan Chiavaroli said, “We need to thank the veterans because they preserved our freedoms.” Tina Smith of the Chamber was also thanked for her efforts. She later handed out American flags to the veterans present. Speaker for the day was the parade marshal as well, Dr. John Hoch.

He participated in the D-Day invasion of the shores of Normandy and said he still remembers seeing the deaths of troops as they stormed ashore. “When the going gets tough, we work and play harder,” he said, as he urged people to think about serving and helping others. He recited a phrase from Ronald Reagan when he ran for California Governor, “Freedom is a fragile thing.” The Gilbert family was to conclude the program patriotically in songs with an armed forces medley, but by then most of the crowd had left.

Nazareth Borough Council Swears in two full-time police Officers at last June meeting by JUSTIN SWEITZER The Nazareth Borough Council convened on June 30 for their last Thursday night workshop meeting for the month of June. The meeting commenced with the swearing-in of two new full-time police officers. Nazareth Mayor Carl Strye Jr. swore in Tyler Ferri and Randall Pompei, welcoming them and their service to the borough of Nazareth. The two will begin working as full-time patrolmen for the borough one to two weeks following the borough council meeting. Mayor Strye proceeded to thank the two officers for choosing to serve Nazareth. The workshop style of the meeting presented opportunities for local community members to voice their comments and concerns in front of the council. Resident Helen Ziegler voiced her pleasure of a recent announcement that police officers will be more visible on the streets of Nazareth. “I’m very happy to hear that,” Ziegler said. “I remember when my boys were growing up they knew the policemen; the policemen knew them. The children got to know them and they loved them, the police had a good rapport with all the kids in Nazareth. I hope that will happen again.” Harry Graack, another Nazareth resident, voiced his concern over confusion stemming from a parking spot in violation of PennDOT codes that prevents him from putting in driveways on land he has been developing. The council said they were unaware of any violation, and that until PennDOT contacts the borough council, nothing can be done regarding the parking spot. The borough suggested that Graack submit a land development plan to formally declare his plans with the property. The property, which includes two residential addresses on a single plot of land, requires a land development plan to be submitted to the borough before any development can occur. Graack argued that zoning already had a sketch of his development plans, and that he had received permission to go ahead with development from Keller Zoning and Inspection Services. Graack said no one had told him
a land development plan was necessary to move forward with development. Graack said, “If I had to have a land development plan in place to do anything there, then that should have been told to me before I did anything on Green St.” Graack says that the congested nature of street parking causes difficulty in renting houses out, which prompted him to begin developing driveways for the property he owns. Graack said, “I’m already started on Green Street because of permission by your zoning.” Borough Solicitor Alfred Pierce reiterated the need for a land development plan, telling Graack, “You’re not legal until you have a land development plan approved.” The council also announced plans to change ordinances regarding two streets in the borough. Cedar Street will be made into a two-way street from Walnut North to Belvidere due to traffic. Pine Street, west of Nazareth library, will change from a two-way street into a one-way street going north, according to councilman John Samus. Councilman Brian Regn announced that residents and visitors alike will be able to pay for parking using the Park X Mobile smartphone application. The implementation of the parking application did not cost the borough any money, according to Regn. The app is free to download through the App Store and Google play, but will charge a small convenience fee when paying for parking. The corner of Easton Road and Main Street will be landscaped by Prolific Landscape, Inc. The borough will receive a $2,000 discount and pay a one-time price of $1,400. The plants provided will be all perennial plants that require little to no maintenance. It was stressed that all of the plants will be under three feet high and will not impede the sightline for drivers at the intersection. Seven volunteers are currently slated to help maintain a pleasant look. The next Nazareth Borough Council meeting will be held on July 28 at 6 p.m. at the Nazareth Council Chambers at 159 West Center St., Nazareth PA 18064.

Now Is The Day Of Salvation
Evangelist Paul Rader had often urged a banker in New York State to receive Christ, but the man would not make the decision. One day the preacher sensed that God wanted him to go immediately and speak to him again. So he took a train to the town where the man worked, hurried to the bank, and found his friend standing in the doorway. "Rader," he said, "I'm glad to see you! I wrote a telegram begging you to come, but later changed my mind and didn't send it." "That's all right," said the evangelist, "your message came through anyhow by way of heaven." Under deep conviction of sin, the banker was impressed by Rader's earnestness and his special effort to reach him with the gospel, and within a few minutes he accepted the Lord. In his newfound joy he exclaimed, "Did you ever see the sky so blue or the grass so green!" "Hallelujah, you're truly converted!" came Rader's response. "It's just like the song says, 'Heaven above is softer blue, earth around is sweeter green, something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen." Suddenly the banker gave a strange gasp and fell over dead! He had been saved at the very brink of eternity. What if Paul Rader had delayed or failed to stress the banker's urgent need of turning to the Lord immediately? Don’t delay in accepting Jesus as your Savior! The Bible warns that you “know not what shall be on the morrow” and asks, “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14). Paul quotes Isaiah 49:8, “Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee” and then declares, “behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). I invite you to attend coming revival services July 24-31 (except Saturday) with the Jimmy J. Millikin Evangelistic & Musical Family of Claremore, OK.

Lehigh Township Historical Society Sponsors Schoolhouse Tour and Special Musical Program
G N O I ! B G N O G I N I B B O! !
Submitted by BEVERLY PUTT Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. St. Paul's Schoolhouse at 780 Almond Road in Lehigh Township will be open for tours that afternoon. Visit the 1865 one-room schoolhouse which is located near St. Paul's UCC of Indianland. Learn what the classroom was like years ago. At 2 p.m., you will be treated to a special musical program (for all ages) and light refreshments in the church fellowship hall. You won't want to miss this program! On August 6, Fritz and Belva Williams, a musical couple from Palmerton, will present a short excursion into music from other lands and other times. Performing on a variety of folk instruments, they will sing and play songs and melodies from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, Germany, Canada, and the United States. Belva plays a folk harp, a beautiful instrument with a lighter and purer sound than the much heavier concert harp which has found a place in the modern orchestra. In addition to singing some of their music, Fritz will play soprano, alto, and tenor recorders, wooden flutes that enjoyed great popularity in the 16th, 17th, and
18th centuries. Those who played flutophones when they were kids, which look a lot like recorders, will be surprised to discover the virtuosity, range, and purity of sound of the real thing. The LT Historical Society invites you to spend a relaxing summer afternoon at St. Paul's learn-
