Northampton Area High School held its 114th annual commencement exercises on Saturday afternoon in Lehigh University’s Stabler Arena. There was a total of 362 graduates who received their graduation diplomas and many hundreds more of their parents and siblings in the stands to watch the ceremony. After the seniors made their entrance to the tune of “Pomp & Circumstance,” played by the high school orchestra, Senior High Principal Stephen Seier had opening remarks and introduced NASD Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik. He first saluted the Class of 1965, who were seated at the far end of the arena and the graduates all stood to recognize them as well. Earlier in the day, they were given a tour of the new school facilities and had lunch together, compliments of the school district. Kovalchik told how he had visited the students in their classrooms and asked them what he should talk about at the commencement, realizing that they,

more than he, are knowledgeable about all the types of social media present today. He said he researched when the graduates were born and how the manners of each generation
differ, especially in comparison to the classes of 1965 and 2015. Kovalchik said he was impressed with the present class, how they progressed through the system very well, both scholastically and
athletically, and how they also helped in the community. “While there have been so many changes, one thing that was consistent was the ThanksContinued on page 9
Firefighters had a busy May with many blazes by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
The Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Co. of Moore Township, and a number of other fire companies in the Valley, had a more than busy month, fighting fires in brush, mountain forests, two barns, and a hotel. A check of man-hours for the Klecknersville Rangers showed
they used 623 for fire calls, and the Bath Firefighters spent 126 man-hours on those calls. Two barns in Moore Township burned down within days of each other. On Sunday, May 24, along a long lane, a barn owned by Charles Tumpey at 2718 E. Beersville Rd. caught fire at 7:30 p.m. and firefighters were on the scene
until 2:00 a.m. Monday. Two firefighters were treated for injuries in that blaze. Then on Friday, May 29, a barn in the 500 block of Bauer Rd., Bath burned down, with firemen on the scene from 2:00 in the afternoon until 11:00 at night. In both instances, with large quantities of water required in
the rural area, the Rangers needed plenty of help. They had mutual aid from Bath, Bushkill Twsp., Hecktown, Upper Nazareth Twsp., Lehigh Twsp., Plainfield Twsp., East Allen Twsp., Allen Twsp., Hanover Twsp., Nazareth and Northampton boroughs, and Bethlehem and Palmer townships. They provided water from Continued on page 2

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Why you need L-Arginine In 1992, nitric oxide (NO) was recognized as the “Molecule of the Year” by Science Magazine. In 1998, a Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded based on discovering that nitric oxide was found to be a “signaling” molecule in the cardiovascular system. Simply put, nitric oxide was proven to help relax and dilate blood vessels, thereby lowering overall blood pressure levels. Astounding! Before you come to my office to get nitric oxide, please know the problem; you just can’t take nitric oxide as an over-the-counter supplement. You need to take L-Arginine, which the body converts into nitric oxide. Without enough L-Arginine, your body will not make enough nitric oxide. Not good. A further problem
By DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
is that as we age our production of L-Arginine levels decline, even by the age of 30! I recommend L-Arginine to those with high blood pressure and who have had strokes, heart attacks, heart arrhythmias (a must!), cardiovascular disease, or any other associated cardiac deficiency. Because L-Arginine/ nitric oxide assists in blood vessel relaxing and improves blood flow,

those with plaque and hardening of arteries should consider taking it every day for the rest of their lives. The benefits do not end there, let me explain. Know that dilation and relaxation of blood vessels improves oxygenation and blood flow to every tissue of the body. Microcirculation is as important as anything else. Case in point is the healthy circulation required to achieve normal intimacy function for both men and woman. Those with erectile dysfunction should be taking L-Arginine every day! Know that pharmaceutical formulations are based on this L-Arginine/ nitric oxide physiology. L-Arginine is also a big hit with athletes as it helps to get the blood and oxygen flowing throughout the body. Weightlifters use it prior to working out to get a serious pump! I routinely answer questions about the effectiveness in this area and endurance sports. It’s effective. It’s not even up for debate. The benefits of regularly consuming L-Arginine are numerous. On top of what I
discussed, the list also includes: heart failure, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, preventing atherosclerosis, and more. Yes, I do take L-Arginine daily. The one that I have had the best results with all these years is ProArgi-9. I take it in supplement form via a daily powder. Besides this specific source, arginine is also naturally occurring in my non-denatured protein powder that I use each morning. Raw almonds and seaweed such as spirulina are other great sources. If you’re thinking that I oftentimes discuss “wonder nutrients”, I would counter with the fact that if God made it, then it is a wonder nutrient. L-Arginine falls nicely into this category. If you need assistance in determining which L-Arginine, or any supplement product for that matter, is good for you, please know that you can come by my office to discuss at no charge. Many already are aware that I allow individuals to come on Thursday afternoons to discuss any questions related to nutrition even if they aren”t current patients! All I ask

is that the meeting is ten minutes or less. Some people drop in, yet if you want to reserve a specific time please call Shelly at 610837-4444.

The Leadership Lessons of Beau Biden In the wake of Beau Biden’s death after succumbing to cancer last week, much was said about Biden’s life and legacy. He was called a consummate public servant, a great leader, selfless to a fault, and with a natural charisma few men possess. “Beau Biden was an honorable man with integrity,” said Katie Couric. “He was strong and courageous. He even received the military’s Bronze Star, an award given for heroic achievement,” eulogized Senator Harry Reid. Politicians, military leaders and celebrities from across the country came to bid farewell last Saturday to former Delaware Attorney General, Beau Biden. What can we learn from Biden? Well, it was summed up in statements made last week by people, including President Obama. He was a...
1. Public servant 2. Man of character 3. Selfless person 4. Man with integrity 5. Man of honor 6. Strong person 7. Courageous person 8. Hero Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our day-to-day activities that we forget about the virtue of great leaders. I guess our number one lesson is that first you need
to be a good human being. Can a leader be without good character? Sure. We see examples of this in the news every day. Take a minute today to reflect on all of the people you know with some of the qualities Biden exhibited, and remember to find the best in people and dedicate yourself to making the world a better place in honor of men like him. Rest in peace, Beau Biden. Carol S. Ritter, past President of the National Speakers Association in Philadelphia, is an accomplished professional speaker, coach and educational consultant specializing in innovative leadership, outrageous fundraising, million-dollar marketing and building organizational alliances throughout the country.

Northampton Chamber of Commerce Awards Scholarships Submitted by TONY PRISTASH, NCCC President With the school year winding down, it’s that time of year we recognize our outstanding seniors here at Northampton Area Senior High School through our NACC Scholarships.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Can’t believe how fast this year is going. It’s the second week in June already. High school and college graduations are moving right along, and the young people will either be looking for a job or setting their sights on more education. Best of luck to all the graduates as they move on in life. . . .I was driving down in Hanover Township last Tuesday and looked up in the sky and saw a big plane. It turned out to be a B-29 Flying Fortress from World War II fame. It looked mighty big ‘cause it was flying low, and I could see its wheels were still down and it had four propellers instead of the jet engines of today. . . .I hear Betty Fields has been hospitalized since February with a hip problem. She’s had a few surgeries at St. Luke’s and has been getting therapy over at Gracedale. Ye Ed said he didn’t know Betty was ailing until he got a call from Shirley Kopfer Laubach about it the other day. Sure hope your hip gets better soon, Betty, so you’re up and around again. . . . Happy 97th birthday to Betty Gehring, who now resides over in Whitehall Fellowship Manor. She still comes to Bath on the third Thursday of the month for breakfast with the church gang down at the T & C. This Thursday, there’s gonna be another birthday party for her down there with another group, I hear.. . .Helping to celebrate Moore
Township’s 250th anniversary this year, Dick Gable and members of the historical commission are gonna be over at the IronPigs ball game on the 18th for Moore Township night. I hear they still have a few tickets left. You might wanta see if you can buy a couple. An anniversary t-shirt goes with the game ticket, along with reduced hot dog and beer prices at happy hour, 5 p.m. . . . . Speakin’ of the Pigs, looks like they might be getting that hot shot Aaron Nola who is down pitching for the Fightin’ Phils. Be nice to see him with Cole Hamels up with the big club someday. That is if they don’t trade Cole for some of those socalled top prospects. I hear Boston is interested. I say keep ‘em in Beantown. . . . I hear there has been such a run on strawberries over at the Seiple farm that they hadta close down a few days to catch up with the demand that’s been more than the strawberries ripening. . . . It’s been interesting reading that Carol Heckman has been digging up about Bath history. Some things that happened long before my time. . . . One of the gals in last week’s all-star soccer game over in Whitehall was Abbie Backenstoe, daughter of lawyer Dave Backenstoe, who covers Moore and Lehigh township meetings. . . .Sure is hot and humid outside right now, and from what they say in the weather report we’re gonna get a line of thunderstorms tonight, maybe even a tornado. Let’s hope not. We’ve seen how the Midwest has suffered. . . .Anyhow, keep safe, and have a good week ahead, y’all.

and the amount of time to which they selflessly committed, is what most impressed us as we reviewed all the applications. Trust me, what I had to leave out for the sake of brevity, would more impress you than what I mentioned here. We are blessed to have such great young adults working to build a better future. We wish ALL of the graduating students of the Class of 2015 all the best in the pursuit of their goals … and can only hope they succeed, for the enrichment of us all.

Only brush and leaves are accepted in Moore Twsp. by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
At last Tuesday’s Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting it was noted by secretary-treasurer Richard Gable that brush and leaves are accepted at the township’s recycling bin. But no grass clippings or root balls, and certainly not treated lumber as people dumped off recently. The township is keeping a close eye on what is discarded and has issued a warning about violators. • A member of the Environmental Advisory Council expressed thanks to the number of volunteers, scouts, planning committee members and others who helped out in the collection of electronic waste materials recently. He also noted a dumping problem at Appalachian Park. The organization is putting together a newsletter and it will be ready soon. A regional EAC meeting was held on May 27 and Moore Township was well represented. Representatives of the Appala-
chian Trail were also there. An American Trail is being worked on to include the World Trade Center in New York City. • Supervisors Chairman David Tashner said spring cleaning is finished, and gravel roads have been graded and stoned. • Scott Gable was approved as a new member of the Recreation Board. Also approved by the board was a five-week soccer camp to be held in June and July. • Activities of the Historical Commission were announced, including Moore Township Night at the IronPigs baseball game on June 18 at 7 p.m.; Movie Night at the football field on July 17; designer purse bingo on July 26 at the Klecknersville Rangers hall; and the sale of T-shirts, mugs and bowls to commemorate the township’s 250th anniversary this August. Gable said the plans are moving along pretty well. • It was revealed that there are properties left unattended and the township has to clean them up. Liens will be filed against the owners.
• Engineer Al Kortze reported that some improvements have to be made at Pheasant Ridge Estates before an 18-month maintenance period can be set. Extensions have been granted on letters of credit. Final paving of streets is needed. • Supervisor Dan Piorkowski questioned about an incident where recreation fields were damaged. The issue will be taken to court. • A resident at 582 Hilldale Dr. complained about salt, stones and cinders being dropped on his property after the road was plowed of snow. He said he has lived there for 39 years, and this problem has been happening the past couple of years. • Police Chief Gary West had this report for June: 434 total incidents; 73 warning / verbal and written notices; 78 traffic citations; 7 arrests (1 non-traffic citation for confinement of dogs, another for vaccination, and a third for harassment); 2 DUI; 3 reportable accidents; and 2 nonreportable accidents.

Our Best Friends Have Hairy Legs! Closing the “cat gap” can increase adoptions (NAPS)—For many, cats and kittens can be an almost endless source of fascination. It’s not uncommon for people to confess they can spend hours watching cute cat videos on the Internet and sharing cat photos online. Unfortunately, it seems this online fascination
with cats is not translating into real-life adoptions. Every year, an estimated 8 million pets enter U.S. shelters, and approximately 4 million of them are euthanized because there are not enough homes. A recent PetSmart Charities survey of people’s perceptions of cats

found that the negative opinions some people have of cats are hurting their image. For instance, when asked about the personality and behavioral traits of cats, respondents overwhelmingly described cats as curious, stubborn, moody and aloof. Dogs, on the other hand, were described in much more positive terms, such as friendly, loyal,

indications that some people are taking steps to end these misperceptions once and for all. Sixty-six percent of respondents said that too many people have negative impressions of cats and 56 percent said that the stereotypes about cats simply aren’t true. Additionally, half of the respondents believed that more people would have a pet cat if the stereotypes around cats were removed. The survey also found that cat lovers may be uniquely positioned to help cats the most. Research shows that by sharing more about their cat online, particularly through social media, cat owners can help to counter the negative stereotypes surrounding cats and show them in a positive light. The PetSmart Charities cat perception survey was fielded via Toluna Analytics to 1,022 U.S.-based respondents during the period from February 11–14, 2015. It has a +/- 3 percent margin of error.

giving Day football game, which Northampton won this year,” he said. He went on to point out three magic words that the class should apply, just as so many famous people have done before they achieved success: progress, passion, and optimism. He told the graduates, “Follow your dreams and use your skills, and if you do you will become productive members of society.” Salutatorian Boris Kobilja then offered remarks, saying that the graduates are “closing one door and opening another.” He recalled how they all felt upon entering high school, and proclaimed that all have achieved a concrete foundation. His advice: “Pursue something of value, discover new roads, and find a balance.” Valedictorian Shreya Bhatt traced her family’s history beginning with 30 years ago when they left India for this land of opportunity. Then she said that four years ago she and the others in her class began a journey and
she was inspired to give back as she worked hard. She advised her fellow graduates to “help others by helping yourselves,” concluding, “We have the ability to make change.” Then followed the class officers giving reflections on their experiences in school, from elementary days to the present. Class president Taylor Fullin credited her parents, saying, “We couldn’t have done it without you.” She said high school was a new beginning, and noted that many of the teachers and administrators graduated from Northampton High School. Her final words: “Remember the friends you had and all the things you learned as Konkrete Kids.” Reflections were also offered by vice president Taylor Gollie, secretary Jennifer Szerencsits and treasurer Kelly Thoma. The school’s senior chorus then sang “This Is your Life,” and Supt. Kovalchik accepted the Class of 2015 and they received their diplomas, with Taylor Fullin and vice president Taylor Gollie announcing their names as School Board president David Gogel handed them their document of graduation. The afternoon concluded as all in the arena sang the

Youth field day attracts 135 Boys and girls to outdoors by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Kids at the crossbow station. –Home News photos
The weather was perfect and 135 boys and girls turned out for the 23rd annual Youth Field Day held at Stockertown Rod & Gun Club on Saturday. While that number may seem large, it was somewhat disappointing to the organizers, who in the past have hosted almost 200 youngsters to the event that involves them in learning about outdoor sports and to absorb the thrill of it. Be that as it may, the youngsters had a great learning experience all morning and afternoon on the grounds and in the water. For periods of 30 minutes each, they went to 10 different stations, including: B-B gun, crossbow, archery, shotgun, .22 rifle, black powder .50 cal. flintlocks, trapping, canoeing, fly fishing, and casting with a fishing rod. Volunteer instructors from area rod and gun clubs affiliated with the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs used their expertise to teach them the proper use of bows and arrows in archery, shooting of the rifles and shotguns, and canoeing that are a major part of outdoor sports. Members of the Pa. Game Commission assisted, and for the canoeing on the club’s lake, members of the Pennsylvania Water Rescue did the instruction and provided the canoes. Sponsors of the event once again were Chrin, Inc. and Horn Outdoors, Inc., providing t-shirts for all the boys and girls, along with their funding and that of the Youth Field Day Foundation, which raises much of its finances from the annual Whitetail Deer Classic. (Next week: a Report on the PFSC Southeast Division meeting in Bucks County.)

God Told Her
Assemblies of God missionary to India, Willis Long, told the following story: One scorching day in June, I was driving from Darjeeling to our home in Dhanbad. My 12-year-old son, Noel, was with me. As we drove along the dusty Indian road, rays of the tropical sun beat down on us unmercifully. Beside the road we noticed a shack where there were cold drinks for sale. We stopped and asked for a lasie, an Indian drink made of sour milk, sugar and ice. We drank our lasies thirstily. Immediately I knew something was wrong. As I drank, the ice cut my throat. I realized that in my lasie there must have been some broken glass. As I drove the 50 miles to where we had to cross the Ganges River, I became increasingly uncomfortable. By the time we reached the river crossing, my body was burning with fever. At this point the Ganges is 3 miles wide and the only means of getting across is by a ferry-like raft. Since the river is very treacherous, the ferryman will not cross at night. It was already 7 o'clock, too late to make a crossing. With a raging fever I lay down on the river bank. Noel sat beside me. I slipped into unconsciousness. At dawn I awakened. Amazingly, the fever was gone. I was well! Noel and I crossed the Ganges and by noon had reached our home in Dhanbad. Two years later I was invited to speak at a Bible camp in Prescott, Arizona. A lady asked, “Are you Willis Long?” She wanted to know if I remembered a certain day in June and she mentioned the very night when I had been so ill. “That day,” she continued, “I saw you in a vision. You were lying on the bank of a river,” she added. “I have never met you, but God spoke your name to me. He told me to pray for you. I immediately went before the Lord in prayer, and prayed until I had the assurance that your need had been met.”

News Sermonette Rev. Royan Rodney
Pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Nazareth Hold my Hand Lord! Mark 8:22-25
Pastor Tim wrote, “While at the mall, I saw an elderly couple holding hands while they were walking. As they approached, I commented on how romantic it was. He replied, "We have been holding hands when we go out in public for over thirty years. I have to. If I let go, she shops." Now that we were able to laugh, it is now time to examine how powerful it is when we can hold someone’s hand and help them. When we were children, our parents held our hands to make sure we were safe and did not get off from the path they were leading us. We see couples holding hands, as in the story that Pastor Tim told. We often see grown children holding their parents hands as they get older and help them to get where they need to go. It often warms our hearts to see a total stranger holding an elderly person’s hand to help them across the road. Such love and compassion we see in action as we recognize someone in need. Yes my friends, as Christians we are called to hold each other’s hands and help them when they are in need. Dolly Parton wrote and sang, “Hold my hand,” this song was part of an album entitled, letter to heaven. It says, “Hold my hand let's not lose my way hold my hand and lead me home. Guide me each step that I might take hold of my hand and keep me strong. And let the path I walk be straight. Let the deeds I do be kind. Let me never hesitate to help my brother walking blind. Hold my hand...And let my words have meaning of anything that I might speak. If you see me leaning on just hold my hand and straighten me up. Hold my hand... Amen.” As we read these inspiring words to the song, “Hold my hand.” We can’t help but identify with them. We too like the song writer have asked the Lord to hold our hands on many occasions, and more than that, we have found that when we asked the Lord to hold our hands, he does, because we feel his gentle touch. In the gospel of Mark chapter 8 we get to experience the power of Jesus’ touch. My friends, the touch of Jesus makes a difference in our lives. Mark 8:22-25 says, “They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” 24He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” 25Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.” What a remarkable transformation, a man who came to Jesus blind, and in darkness returned home seeing and enjoying the light. There is power in the touch of the Lord, and we are called to be Jesus’s hands and feet. “Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you…For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink…when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ (Matthew 25:34-40). Jesus has always called us to reach out to the “least of these”, to serve the needs of others as He did. We are called to hold each other’s hands the same way Jesus held our hands. We are called to encourage each other, when they seem to be losing faith. “Martin Luther, the renowned leader of the Protestant Reformation, struggled for years under the guilt of his sin, desperately wanting a relationship with God but never finding it through empty religion. Then…one night, alone at his bedside, he read from the book of Romans these penetrating words from the pen of Paul: ‘the just shall live by faith…’ (Rom. 1:17). And in that moment, a light suddenly shone brightly in the darkness of his heart. The living Savior broke into the chamber of despair and turned on the shining light of His grace.” (Chuck Swindoll, Paul: A Man of Grace and Grit Study Guide, p. 16) God’s grace is sufficient for us and all of us have access to God. Let us be vigilant and look out for our brothers and sisters. If they are stumbling let us hold their hands? If we are struggling may we seek the help of God, and wait and see him send someone who will be his hands, and hold our hands. Such is the mercy of God, it is new every morning, great is His faithfulness. Paul said, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:23-25). I close with the words from the song by Wendell Whalum, “Hold my hand, while I run this race.” One stanza says, “ Hold my hand while I run this race. Hold my hand while I run this race. Hold my hand while I run this race, for I don't want to run this race in vain!” My friends, God is the only one who can help us, so please allow him to hold your hands while you take this journey through life, and your life will never be the same again. You will have all the blessings you need, and best of all your savior and Lord Jesus Christ will walk with you until the end. Today if you are struggling, ask the Lord to hold your hand. And not only that, seek the help of your brothers and sisters in Christ and they will gladly hold your hands. If you do not have a faith community I strongly urge you to find one, all of us need a little encouragement at times. May our prayers always be, to ask Jesus to help us, and guide us, while we journey with him until he returns triumphant Lord of all. Be safe, and have a blessed summer as we live in this season of Pentecost. Amen.

First place winners, Charlie Amore and Abigail Shire.
Submitted by TARA MRAZIK During the month of May, students enrolled in the spring semester marketing course at Northampton High School were given the opportunity to work with Richard Scott, CoFounder of Frites, the newest restaurant at the Lehigh Valley Mall. Frites offers menu items involving french fries in three ways — in a cone with a choice of 17 dipping sauces, in a bowl piled with toppings or as a Frita in pita bread with toppings. This unique concept combined with Mr. Scott’s passion for his business is what made this partnership a dream come true for high school marketing teacher, Tara Mrazik. After learning the key concepts through traditional methods, student’s created authentic promotion plans for this newly established restaurant business.
From promotions to advertising to campaign budgets, the students developed a thorough, professional presentation. A total of 18 groups pitched their ideas to Mr. Scott and his committee. In addition to the profound learning experience, Frites was extremely generous in offering over $400 in prizes to these amazing students for their remarkable ideas. On June 1, the winners were announced as follows:

Heffelfinger and Luke Lieberman. Third Place: Wadih Azar, Taylor Breisch, and Cortney George. Mrazik said, “Having taught at Northampton High School for 14 years, I can proudly say that this was one of the most rewarding experiences for both myself and my students. Getting to work so closely with such a dynamic entrepreneur was truly thrilling. His eagerness to work with us as well as his willingness to share business knowledge and industry know-how made this an amazing experience for all involved. I have no doubt that our students learned a significant amount by doing rather than simply listening. An educational process like this is what makes learning in 2015 exciting!”

Pieces of History Gordon switches to Professional hockey in Sweden
After nine years of professional hockey predominantly spent in the American Hockey League (AHL), Andrew Gordon's playing career takes a turn for hockey overseas.
“I’ve always been told by the older guys, don’t go over until you’re ready. If you go over too early, then you’ll look back and say I wish I would have waited and tried to make that NHL team - one more organization. Honestly, I just woke up one day and thought – I’m ready. I want something new.” Andrew Gordon has played professional hockey for nine years and while making it in the NHL is every hockey player’s dream, it’s one that will have to wait at least another year for the former Lehigh Valley Phantoms forward as Gordon has decided to play professional hockey overseas in Sweden’s most competitive league – the SHL – for the 2015-16 season. “Going overseas has always been something in the back of my mind. I have really been into the European game for a long time,
it was just a matter of when I decided to go over,” Gordon added. It’s a decision that some of the veteran players in the American Hockey League (AHL) must think about every summer. For Gordon, he quickly got a feeling during the Philadelphia Flyers training camp in the fall that the time to pursue opportunities overseas might be coming closer to a reality. “I was one of the first guys released,” Gordon said of the Flyers’ training camp. “I had a feeling from that point forward that I wasn’t really in Philly’s plans. I was more to be a veteran American League guy.” Selected by the Washington Capitals in the final round of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Gordon finished his collegiate career at St. Cloud State, where he put up back-to-back 20-goal seasons in his final two years there before

joining the Capitals AHL affiliate Hershey Bears in 2007. After four years with the Capitals organization saw Gordon appear in just 12 NHL games, he bounced between the AHL and the NHL with both the Anaheim and Vancouver organizations before taking the Winnipeg Jets AHL affiliate St. John’s IceCaps to the Calder Cup Finals in the 2013-14 season. After spending the entire 2014-15 season in the AHL with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Gordon decided it was time for a change. “By the end of the season once I hadn’t been recalled, it makes it two seasons in a row where I haven’t been recalled back to the NHL,” Gordon mentioned, adding,” At age 29, I’m not some up and coming young prospect. I feel my window to play in the NHL is shrinking if not closed already.” Gordon signed a one-year contract with Linkopings HC in Sweden where next season he will embark on a new journey in his professional hockey career. “I’m looking for a new experience. A sort of breath of fresh air if you will,” Gordon said having played predominantly in the AHL the last eight years. “The opportunity to go into a different country to play a different style of hockey, sort of get out of my comfort zone, is what I was looking for.” “I equate it to most people in the real world,” Gordon continued. “Sometimes you just need a career move to change things up to avoid being stuck in the mundane routine. I’ve been going on the same road trips, staying in the same hotels. I was just ready for a change.” While Gordon said it wasn’t the season he or his Phantoms teammates were hoping for, he had nothing but great things to say about the fans, the city, the rink and the team. “I appreciate the commitment [the fans] had,” Gordon said. “To have that commitment, have that fan base, is a major draw for us as players. People want to play in buildings like that. People want to play for a team that has that kind of fan support.” Gordon’s final message to Lehigh Valley Phantoms fans was clear and although he was critical of his team at times during the season, the message was quite optimistic. “Keep going back. I guarantee that will be a real hot bed for veteran players and the team is going to be good for a long time,” Gordon said, adding, “It’s going to be a very desirable place for people to play in the upcoming seasons. We didn’t have the season we wanted this year, but those fans – stick with it, you’re going to get some great teams out of that town for sure.”
From the history committee: • Shortly after David Saylor discovered the limestone needed to make Portland cement in the Lehigh Valley, numerous companies opened in Nazareth to take advantage of it: Nazareth Cement (now ESSROC) in 1898, Phoenix (later Lone Star) in 1899, Dexter/Penn-Dixie (now ESSROC) in 1900. • For much of its 30 years, the Nazareth Area Food Bank operated from St. John’s Lutheran Church. In 2008, the church celebrated its 150th anniversary by purchasing the former Lackawanna Freight Depot on S. Main St. to house the Food Bank. • In the late 1940s and early 50s Nazareth hosted a Mid Atlantic baseball team. The team members lived in the Nazareth Inn (now Nazareth Furniture). • The building on S. Broad Street which resembles a church was built in 1911 as the Grace Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church. It eventually became the Grace Bible Fellowship Church, and was converted into a private residence in 1966 when the church built its new facility on E. Beil Avenue. It now houses the Nazareth Guitar Institute.
• In 1742 Count Zinzendorf paid the Native American residents of Welagamika, a village on the Nazareth tract, for their land. The move was opposed by the provincial authorities, who felt that the Walking Purchase in 1737 had voided any Native American rights to property in southeastern Pennsylvania. • “Nazareth” is the name of a Scottish hard rock band, founded in 1968, which had several hits in the early 1970s. They took their name from Nazareth, PA, after seeing it used in the first line of The Weight, a song recorded by The Band. The group is still active. • When Nazareth was incorporated as a borough in 1858, the administrative head was called a Chief Burgess. In 1958 the title was changed to Mayor.
