“Pennsylvania health officials have labeled the opioid epidemic the worst health crisis of the last 100 years,” Hahn said. “This is a problem that has no socio-economic boundaries and claimed thousands of lives statewide in the last few years. The town hall meeting is an opportunity to raise awareness as to the severity of the epidemic.” Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli, Court Continued on page 4

ki said the borough has to pay for garbage pick-ups at the park, and they said there was beer drinking there. One of the young men said he tried to stop that. He sought funding to make “it a better place” for the young people, noting that more people use the skate park than any other in the borough. The teens want to make concrete ramps so they last longer than the wooden ones. When the youths noted resistance to their wishes, one said, “You’ve put us between a rock and a hard place.” The borough’s solicitor said they need bonding and insurance. As they departed, one youth commented, “We want to make something nice for the community. We’ve put a lot of hard work

Councilman Ed Pany said the “borough and Zarayko’s Ukrainian frugality have used the dollars wisely.” The borough ranks 30th in per capita income in Northampton County and has done much with it, he said. A sign was presented, designating East 14th Street as “Gene Zarayko Drive.” Zarayko thanked all members of Council, Mayor Tom Reenock, Brobst, and all the department heads, and staff for their cooperation in making Northampton such a wonderful town. Brobst was appointed secretary as well as manager. Skate park Three young men asked for help from the borough with the skate park they use on Lerchenmiller Drive. Pany and Lopsonzs-

Northampton Borough Manager Eugene “Gene” Zarayko made his final appearance on Thursday night as he wheeled in to Council chambers in a wheelchair. After more than 30 years of serving the Borough of Northampton, he has retired the position. Former Council president John Yurish and other members of Council praised Zarayko. Yurish said, “Gene did a heck of a lot of good for the town. Over the past years, he did everything he was expected to do 24/7.” Recently, Yurish brought his grandson to the municipal building and Zarayko led him around on a tour. State Rep. Julie Harhart presented a House of Representa-
tives resolution congratulating Zarayko and thanking him for his more than 30 years of service to the Borough of Northampton. In turn, Zarayko thanked Rep. Harhart for all she has done for Northampton as well. Assistant Manager LeRoy Brobst presented a brass clock in a brown enclosure as a gift from Council. Councilman Robert Coleman said, “We didn’t always agree, but it was a pleasure working with Gene.” Councilman Anthony Pristash thanked Zarayko for working with the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said Zarayko has been a close friend of his family for years.

One of a series The prom
As a junior in Nazareth High School, I anticipated the excitement of going to the Junior Prom with a boy just as the other girls in my class. Weeks before the prom I heard rumors that Eddie was taking Maryann, Rich was going with Jane, and Nancy was going with Bill. Of course Nancy was going with Bill . . . they had been joined at the hip since the eighth grade and never dated anyone else. The “steadies” were already paired off and were talking about shopping for prom gowns and shoes. I could hear them in the girls’ room and the halls discussing colors and length of gowns and hairstyles. As I sat in English class, Mr. Woods was explaining the difference between a particle and a verb and as I looked around the room at the boys in my class, I tried to think of someone I would want to take me to the Prom. The popular, good-looking guys were already
going with the popular, goodlooking girls. The guys who were left either had two left feet, were about to be drop-outs, or had no idea where to get a “White sport coat and a pink carnation.” So I waited to be asked to the Prom. And waited, and waited and waited! During the week before the big event, all the other girls were excitedly discussing the color of their gowns and the type of hairstyle they would be wearing on the big evening. I felt left out –– no date for the Prom. In those days, a girl did NOT ask a boy for a date . . . and it wasn’t even leap year! The big night arrived – the

gymnasium was beautifully decorated with balloons and streamers in an ‘Evening in Paris’ theme. I had thoughts of standing outside the gym to watch the couples arrive for the dance, but thought better of it. I went home and washed my hair. Well, there’s always next year, I thought. My senior year would be different! I would try out for the class play, I would be more aggressive, I would go out for afterschool sports. I would become popular like the other girls in my class. I would show them I could get a boyfriend, too.

Nazareth Rotary Club honors the “Barony of the Rose”
submitted by KATHY HELLER Nazareth Rotary Club celebrates community history with its annual rose sale on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the greater Nazareth area. Rotarians will be at locations throughout the Nazareth area selling commemorative roses in honor of the historic “payment day.” Originally, Nazareth was a tract of 5,000 acres owned by William Penn’s family. The feudal tax on this land was one red rose, payable on June 24. This tradition led to Nazareth’s Colonial name of “The Barony of the Rose.” The long-stemmed roses sell for $3.50 each and will be available at Center Square in Nazareth and other locations around the area. Proceeds from the sale will benefit Nazareth community projects. Roses are being provided by Mycalyn Florals.

Leadership, Change, loyalty And coffee I learned this week that there are a dozen facts about Starbucks that you may not know. Here are six examples of why they are so successful:
1. They open an average of 2 stores a day worldwide. In the coffee world we live in, it sounds like Starbucks is at the top of their game. 2. Starbucks is pro-tattoo and anti-nail polish. Interestingly, the tattoos cannot be on their face or neck. No purple or pink hair and the anti-nail polish is about chipping - it could go in the food. 3. They spend more dollars on healthcare than they do on coffee beans. It sounds like they really do care about their employees. 4. The average customer visits Starbucks six times a month, the super-loyal customer visits 16 times a month. They must be doing something right. 5. Smoking was banned in the store in the 1980s before it was a law. They also frown upon smells like perfume and cologne. They don’t want anything to interfere with the sweet smell of coffee. 6. They put their money where their mouth is - they love and support the military. The company has committed to hiring at least 10,000 military veterans and military spouses by the end of 2018; and they have already hired more than 5,500.
What is their secret sauce? Why do you think they went from a small location in Seattle on March 30, 1971 that only sold roasted whole bean coffee to a worldwide company? Leadership, Leadership, Leadership - doing good in the world - taking care of their employees, provide quality products married to great customer service, they promote loyalty, and they are always changing. Or as Babe Ruth said, “ Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s game.” Leadership - Change - Loyalty - and great coffee, sounds like a plan to me!

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Sure had been dreary weather this month of May, but Monday turned out beautiful with blue skies and the sun warming everything. Great spring day! Maybe things will stay that way and spring will be warm and sunny all the way into summer. . . . Ye Ed keeps promising Jen down at the Town & Country that he’ll wear his South Carolina T-shirt when it gets warmer. C’mon, Jen, smile. You know he’ll come through sooner or later . . . .Moore Township and Allen Township took down their signs about banning outdoor fires, since it has been off and on rain for so many days, but that doesn’t mean you can get careless by burning leaves or garbage outside. It’s always good to take care. . . . Herb Silfies, who has been in a long convalescence, came out for a visit with his buddies at the hearts game down at the Legion last Wednesday. I hear he didn’t waste any time in contributing his quarters to the cuss jar. Great to see you out and around, Herbie! He was accompanied by his nephew Lee, who has been taking good care of him up at Hickory Hills . . . .I hear there was a winner from town at the dart baseball banquet the other night. Bath Lutheran won a trophy, but didn’t hear if it was Don Miller or Doug Moser who collected it. Garry Hunsicker and his Christ Church players said, “Wait till next year.” Garry and his son Steve will be busy down at the Bath farmers market on Friday afternoons now that it has opened for the season. . . . I see S. Seem Antiques from town
is gonna have a benefit for the Bath Food Bank with specials, live music, snacks and wine this Thursday. That oughta make Jeannie and Marge happy . . . .Northampton Borough had a country western band playing on Wednesday for their first free concert of the season. At the same time, all the students who are involved in sports at the high school were at their banquet in the cafeteria. It’s too bad when there are conflicting events you wanta go to at the same time, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. . . . It’s good that the Memorial Day weekend ceremonies are at different times. The Bath Legionnaires from Post 470 will be meeting at 8 a.m. and then have a public program at 11:00 or 11:30 a.m. Sunday, May 29. Bushkill Township is gonna have their veterans remembrance and flag retirement ceremony up at the ball field on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m., and Northampton is having their Memorial Day program on Monday morning at 11:00 a.m. That way we can go to all of them. Great! So let us all remember how our men and women in the armed forces have served our country in so many wars and thousands have given their lives. Let’s pray for peace always.

Alcoholic Converted!
On a cold January night, a man staggered through the streets of Chicago, intent on ending his life in icy Lake Michigan. But on Van Buren Street, God intervened, and the man was pulled through the doors of the Pacific Garden Mission. Harry Monroe was leading the singing. Abruptly he stopped. "Let us pray," he said. "O God, save that poor boy." Mel Trotter's head jerked erect. He managed to hear part of the testimonies and preaching. Mel’s father was a saloon keeper and a drunkard. Mel started drinking at 19. He lost his job. He married. "I'm off the bottle forever," he promised his bride. "I'll quit," he vowed more times than he could remember. But he didn't. He began staying away from home for weeks at a time; even stealing to quench his thirst. He was put into a hospital, treated for alcoholism, discharged and handed a medicine kit. Fifteen minutes later he traded the kit for three drinks of whiskey. A baby boy was born to Mel and his wife. One day, he came home after a ten-day drinking spree. His son was dead in his wife's arms. "I'm a murderer," he cried. "I'll end my life." His wife put the lifeless infant down and dropped to her knees in prayer. Then she arose and pulled Mel into her arms. "I'll never take another drop," he promised, as hot tears streamed down his face. Two hours after his baby's funeral, Mel staggered home—drunk again. On January 19, 1897 Mel was on his way to end his life when he was pulled into the mission. He heard Harry Monroe tell of how God had saved him—a drunkard. "Jesus loves you," Monroe said, looking squarely at Mel. "Make room in your heart for him tonight." Mel jumped to his feet and moved forward. Monroe pointed him to Christ. From that time on Mel Trotter spent every night he could in the mission. Three years after his conversion he was appointed superintendent of a rescue mission in Grand Rapids were he spent 40 years in fruitful ministry and started 66 other Gospel lighthouses.

by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock ) While there are still plenty of steps the Philadelphia Flyers organization has to take during the off-season before their AHL affiliate’s roster in Lehigh Valley begins to get set in stone for the 2016-17 seasaon, it’s never too early to look ahead. The Flyers have plenty of free agents to contemplate resigning this summer, but here’s a list of the players under contract for next season who either spent a majority of their season last year with Lehigh Valley or will be turning pro full-time in the fall. Under contract Forwards: Nicolas AubeKubel, Cole Bardreau, Chris Conner, Radel Fazleev, Tyrell Goulbourne, Taylor Leier, Danick Martel and Colin McDonald Defensemen: Robert Hagg, Christian Marti, Sam Morin, Jesper Pettersson, Travis Sanheim and Reece Willcox Goaltenders: Anthony Stolarz and Alex Lyon The Phantoms already have their fair share of talent returning in the fall, and the Flyers will continue to add to that throughout the offseason starting with the 2016 NHL Entry Draft on June 24-25 and continuing through to free agency the final week of June and into July when the free agent market opens. Explaining restricted and Unrestricted free agents ‘Restricted’ and ‘Unrestricted’ are words put in front of impending free agents that put available players for the upcoming season in two very dif-
ferent categories. A restricted free agent (RFA) is a typically younger player who has an expiring contract that was either his first professional contract (aka an entrylevel deal) or a subsequent contract in which a team submitted a qualifying offer (see below) to the player from the previous year. Teams have until 5 p.m. ET on June 29 to submit what is called a qualifying offer to their impending RFA’s to retain their rights for the upcoming season. If a team fails to ‘qualify’ one of their RFA’s by that date they will become unrestricted free agents (UFA’s) – making them free to sign with any team they choose when the NHL's free agency begins on July 1st. A qualifying offer is a raise of 110% the player's salary from the previous season if he made under $660,000 (NHL-level) or a raise of at least 105% if he made up $1 million. Players making over a million must be offered 100% of their salary
from the previous season. The main difference between RFA’s and UFA’s is that RFA’s have almost no bargaining chips in their stack. If a team qualifies their RFA, they retain his rights through next season. It is only after June 29th and no qualifying offer, that an RFA becomes unrestricted and is free to sign with any team who is interested in him. UFA’s, on the other hand, are only exclusive to the team they played on last season until NHL free agency begins. They are free to reject any contract offer their team presents and can instead opt to hit the free agent market on July 1st and field offers from other teams. Thus, it is a little more difficult to retain the services of a UFA than an RFA. Impending free agents For Lehigh Valley* * Please note that the Philadelphia Flyers are responsible for re-signing players to NHL contracts, while the Phantoms can sign players to AHL con-
tracts for the upcoming season. NHL UFA: goaltender Jason LaBarbera, defenseman Davis Drewiske and forward Tim Brent. NHL RFA: defensemen Mark Alt and Max Lamarche and forwards Brandon Alderson, Derek Mathers, Aaron Palushaj and Petr Straka. AHL UFA: goaltenders Martin Ouellette and Connor Knapp, defensemen Mike Marcou and Nick Luukko and forwards Phil DeSimone, Pavel Padakin (signed 1-year deal in KHL with HK Sochi), Michael Parks, Jay Rosehill, Dalton Smith, Kevin Sundher and Geoff Walker (signed 1-year deal in Allsvenskan with Tingsryds AIF).

Fire trucks from two of the five volunteer fire companies are shown along Rt. 248 in the village of Pennsville, where a small barn burned down on Thursday afternoon. – Home News photo
by HOME NEWS STAFF Firefighters from five volunteer fire companies responded to 3784 Lehigh Drive, Lehigh Township on Thursday afternoon when flames destroyed a small barn. They were able to prevent the fire from reaching a larger barn and a house next to it. Paul Gieske, owner of the 20 by 30-ft. workshop, was dismantling it when it caught fire,
he told Lehigh Twsp. Fire Chief Richard Hildebrand. Gieske owns a T-shirt printing business across Rt. 248 in the village of Pennsville. Also across from the fire scene is the Pritchard Co. business. The fire started about 4:50 p.m. and although the flames were doused in short order, the structure burned to the ground. Firefighters wet down the embers.
Scorched from the heat of the blaze were a van, trees and an industrial debris bin. Five tankers were brought to the scene as the Lehigh Twsp. Fire Co. was assisted by the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. of Moore Twsp., Allen Twsp. Fire Co., East Allen Twsp. Fire Co., and the Northampton Fire Co. They were all lined up along Rt. 248 and motorists were detoured from the scene.
