Bath Farmers Market Open for seventh summer
By DANIELLE S. TEPPER Special to the Home News
The Bath Farmers Market kicked off its seventh season Friday, May 23 after a late start due to rain the week prior. Perhaps because of the postponement or high spirits for the long weekend ahead,

the number of local residents who turned up to enjoy the sunshine and fresh goods surprised committee members. “In past years, we’ve never seen this many. Opening weekend has been lukewarm, at best,” said Mary Kositz,
BFM committee member. “I think people are just chomping at the bit. People are finally expecting us and anticipating it.” The market began in 2008 and has run successfully every summer since. From May

Earlier, the Legionnaires visited five cemeteries in Bath and Chapman Quarries, then attended the morning worship service in St. John’s Lutheran Church. – Home News photo through the end of September, market goers can expect Keystone Park to be a place where they can discover local products made by their neighbors every Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. Some vendors, such as Twin Maple Farms and Graver Farmstead, have been around since the market’s inception. Others, such as The Pie Shop and The Popcorn Pit, started a couple years back. Some are brand new this year. Take Sugar So Sweet, for example: “I’ve been doing cup-
cakes for four years total, but I’ve been doing it under my name since August of 2012,” explained Karri Eryn, owner and baker of the cupcake and sweets cart. “I grew up in Northampton and my mother always complains about how she never gets to see me, so I was like, ‘well, maybe I’ll just do this market so at least you get to see me on Fridays,’” she laughed.

Schools Move To Head of the Class By State Rep.
Marcia Hahn 138th Legislative District The Bethlehem Area School District is being recognized for its efforts in energy efficiency. In particular, Hanover Elementary School and Broughal Middle School are two of four schools statewide to receive the 2014 Moving to the Head of the Class award. This project is a collaboration between the Keystone Energy Efficiency Alliance (KEEA) Energy Education
www.HomeNewsPA.com Fund and the Pennsylvania Department of Education, with support from the Emily H. Tremaine Foundation. Applications from 34 Pennsylvania schools were reviewed by a panel of judges. Percentage of energy saved, training of staff and use of benchmark software were some of the parameters used to choose the winners. Each winning school receives the following prizes to help make its buildings even more energy efficient: A free printer and personal computer energy use audit. A free virtual energy audit for an entire school building. Certification for one or two schools to receive the ENERGY STAR label. Hanover Elementary School was represented at the recent awards ceremony in Harrisburg by Mark Stein, director of facilities and plant operations; and Nikki Giannaris and Jane Ronyact, teachers at Hanover Elementary. I applaud these schools for efforts to save taxpayer dollars through their attempts to not only save energy, but to find new and better ways to operate more efficiently. They are setting an example to which all of us should aspire.
20 Years Of Living The Dream
Submitted by HOPE REISS Back in 1992, our family decided to make a life-changing decision. We quit our jobs, pulled our little boy out of school, packed up a U-Haul and moved to Florida for 13 months. All this so Brad Sr. could go to Motorcycle Mechanics Institute and start the journey toward a new career doing what he always wanted to do: own and operate his own motorcycle shop. Brad’s thoughts were, if we do “quality work at affordable prices,” we will be just fine. There were many ups and downs, but for 20 years, we were more than just fine. Getting up every morning going to a job that we love, raising our son in the business, meeting and working with so many amazing people, we really are “living the dream!” So on June 22 from 1 to 5 p.m., we invite you to join us at our shop for a celebration party. There will be music, food, games, a burn-out pit, and giveaways. We want to thank everyone that has supported this small independent motorcycle shop and helped make our dreams a reality. Ride on over and join the celebration!

commonwealth will reap benefits later. “We know from years of solid research that quality early learning programs are a smart investment for Pennsylvania," said Joan Benso, president and CEO of Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children. "They prepare children to succeed in school and life, save the commonwealth and taxpayers money by reducing the need for costlier school and social services later on, and help boost our economy. Yet with each passing year, too many of our young learners miss out on the undisputed benefits of high-quality early learning because we aren’t doing enough to make it available.” "We can continue with the status quo, which is leading too many people to failure in school, involvement in crime and incarceration -- at a huge cost to Pennsylvania taxpayers," added Bruce R. Clash, Pennsylvania state director, Fight Crime: Invest in Kids. "Or we can take a different course by investing more in high-quality pre-kindergarten programs -- leading to more success in school, increased high school graduation rates, safer communities and savings to taxpayers for years to come." Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Pennsylvania is comprised of more than 200 law enforcement officials who advocate for public investments shown to keep kids from becoming criminals. Retired Rear Adm. Thomas Wilson, U.S. Navy, said increased funding for early childhood education programs would help national security.

Submitted by MATT MOYER The Early Childhood Education Caucus was joined Tuesday May 6 by representatives from the business and law enforcement communities, and military leaders, as well as early learning advocates, to explain why the state must adequately fund early childhood education programs. “Programs such as Pre-K Counts, Head Start and Keystone Stars have a proven track record of success and have demonstrated that children who participate in early education programs are better equipped to maximize their primary and secondary education experience,” said Senate Majority Whip Pat Browne, co-chair of the bicameral, bipartisan caucus. “Young people who fall behind in school are more likely to drop out and are less likely to become productive and successful members of their communities and of our highly-skilled and competitive workforce. I am proud of the support and the priority Pennsylvania has placed on funding these programs and I hope, as we begin budget discussions, that we continue to provide the necessary resources that afford at-risk young people the opportunity to succeed in school and later in life.” "It seems that it was not until business leaders, law enforcement and military officials became involved in the discussion that we began to make really significant headway in getting policymakers to boost state support for these programs,” said state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, co-chair of the caucus. "These pioneers have seen first-hand that investments in high-quality early learning programs reap countless short-term and long-term benefits that affect all Pennsylvanians." By investing in early childhood education now, the

"High-quality early education is a proven investment that boosts high school graduation rates and helps ensure that young Americans have the educational background needed for military service if they choose to serve." Jodi Askins, executive director of the Pennsylvania Association for the Education of Young Children and cochair of the Early Learning PA Campaign said all children should have access to early learning programs to help prepare them for life. "That is the founding principal of the new Early Learning PA Campaign, which boasts a diverse coalition committed to advocating for greater access to Pennsylvania's comprehensive early childhood system," Askins said. Early Learning PA is a statewide collaboration of the following organizations: Delaware Valley Association for the Education of Young Children, Fight Crime: Invest In Kids, Mission: Readiness – Military Leaders For Kids, Pennsylvania Association for the Education Of Young Children, Pennsylvania Head Start Association, Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, Pittsburgh Association for the Education of Young Children, Public Citizens for Children and Youth, and Pennsylvania Child Care Association. The Early Learning PA campaign is a statewide, non-partisan campaign supported by a broad-based coalition from around the commonwealth committed to advocating for a comprehensive early childhood system that ensures that Pennsylvania’s children, particularly its most vulnerable, have access to the education and support they need to enter school ready to learn.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip It’s nice and hot now as spring has finally arrived, but what a storm we had on Thursday. It hailed quite a bit over in Northampton and in parts of Lehigh County, so much that they were ready to get out the snow plows. The hail wasn’t as big as out in Reading, though, where it ranged from golf ball size to almost tennis ball size. When it comes down like that, run for cover. No use taking hail on the head. . . .Memorial Day weekend was
really nice, with special programs held on Sunday and Monday. Flags were flying everywhere, and it was great to see the patriotism and the remembrances for veterans of the armed forces, thousands upon thousands who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. . . .I heard a disc of patriotic songs the other day, one of them that told about the Pledge of Allegiance, and was sung by Lee Greenwood. He said that we pledge to the ideals of our country, the

citizens of the United States, many who fought and died for the good of our country, a pledge to the Constitution, and a pledge to the corporate freedoms for all Americans – freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom from want and fear. We may not have prayer in schools anymore, but we still repeat the Pledge of Allegiance at all public meetings. It’s important that our kids grow up knowing what this country stands for. American history isn’t taught in schools anymore, and that’s a shame. Ye Ed was telling me about a class of sixth graders in Bath that was carrying on as kids do, and even as the pledge was announced. They got a lecture from a teacher about that, and rightly so. . . .Congrats to the softball girls at Northampton High School for their District 11 AAAA quarter-final win over Liberty that took two days on account of another rain storm on Friday. Next they had to take on a tougher opponent, Parkland, this Tuesday. Didn’t hear how that went, but the Konkrete Kids really played good softball again this year. . . . Hats off to Marco Andretti and Sage Karem for doing so great in the Indianapolis 500 –– 3rd for Marco and 9th for Sage. You know Michael and Mario are happy with how they did, especially having one of their team winning it! . . . . Just heard good news. South Chestnut Street will be re-surfaced. It has had its share of bumps over the years, right after sewer lines were put in. . . . Now that it’s hot and we’ve had rains, the grass is growing mighty fast. Better start mowing outta here for now. See ya!

Jammin’ for Youth Announces Event Lineup Submitted by MICHELE ALBRIGHT
The second annual Jammin’ for Youth, a fundraiser to support Valley Youth House Independent Living Program youth transitioning to independence has announced its performer lineup for the September 19 event to be held at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks. Performers include the James Supra Blues Band, the newly formed Sarah Ayers Quartet, and a very special guest performance by 14 year old singer/ songwriter Kayla Avitabile. “This is such an important event for the program because it helps meet the funding gaps to serving our youth who can’t return home and are transitioning to their own apartments,” states Michele Albright, Supervisor for VYH’s Supportive Housing Program.“At last year’s inaugural event we had former youth return from as far away as California just to participate and support and affirm how important the program was to them. It really doesn’t get better than that.” James Supra won 2014 Lehigh Valley Music Award honors as best all around performer (industry vote), best blues band, best harmonicist, and tied for best jam band with Sarah Ayers band. Sarah Ayers was honored as best LV performer (fan vote), best female artist and vocalist and best female singer/songwriter (fan vote). 14 year old Kayla Avitabile made her LV debut in Fall 2013 and has been creating a growing fan base with her soulful and power vocals in performances at Mayfair, MegaJam and other LV venues.

Tepper Most of the vendors are set by the time the season starts, but if someone were to decide that they want to be involved halfway through the summer, “We’re open to that,” Kositz said. Allison Czapp is in her first year as market manager and said that they would like to see some crafters join up. “We’re also talking to another orchardist who might bring some cherries and pears. We’re trying to get the fruit in,” she said. “And we’d really like to be able to have more take-away food options; more options for people to come and sit at the park and bring the kids to the playground, listen to music, and just hang out on a Friday.” They’re headed in the right direction with the addition of the Taza Truck, which sells Egyptian specialty foods. While absent on the day of the opening, the committee is “pretty excited” about their involvement this year. The inclusion of more food to enjoy on the spot seemed to be everyone’s suggestion when the committee took a survey last year to acquire feedback. “People want to see more fruits and veggies and they want more items that they can enjoy while they’re here. Also more breads and cheeses, but it’s hard to get dairy vendors. They sell to more specialty stores or to restaurants,” Kositz explained. “If we could get a cheese place … oh, that would be dangerous.” Czapp laughed. Czapp is the outreach coordinator for Buy Fresh Buy Local, making her a perfect fit for the market. “I love local foods; I’m a local food and farmer advocate,” she said. “I like to be involved in actually doing stuff and this allows me to do that and to see the impact the farmers have on the community—and to support local agriculture.”
AMERICAN FLAGS are flying at numerous graves in Green Mount Cemetery, Bath. They were placed at the headstones of deceased veterans by members of Eckley E. Patch Post #470, American Legion. Unfortunately, a number of the flags were either taken or broken by disrespectful person(s). If anyone sees these vandals, please call in the incident to – Home News photo Colonial Regional Police at 610-861-4820.
She continued, “You know, it’s fun to see, when we put out on Facebook, ‘what are you looking forward to at the market this year’ and people identify these little specialty things like Leigh’s dandelion jelly. I’d never even heard of dandelion jelly before!
It’s nice to be a destination where people know they can get some specialty items.” The schedule and full list of vendors is available at www. bathfarmersmarket.org. The market can also be found on Facebook (www.facebook. com/BathFarmersMarketPA).

in N o seyNaza reth Dear Nazareth, When I arrived home from a business trip, my rain gauge showed 3.5” of rain! My lawn looked very green and long and in desperate need of attention. I didn’t even unpack my bag but changed into jeans and spent some time with nature and cut my grass. When I purchased my little house I had no idea what was “laying dormant” in the garden, the previous owners loved tulips and daffodils and bleeding hearts. My garden looks so happy and I haven’t spent time with it yet, but I’m ready to go to the garden center and see what they offer. Later in the day a friend asked me to go to an event with him in downtown called the 3rd Annual Nazareth Bike Fest sponsored by the Nazareth-Bath Area Chamber of Commerce (201 N. Main St). It was a beautiful day for this outdoor event that hosted over 30 artisans selling beautiful craft items, and local restaurants offering tasty selections from their menus. Several bike clubs and nonprofits were represented to raise funds and awareness of their organizations. Bike Fest planned a “Poker Run” to benefit the local Nazareth Food Bank on Main St. This is an organized event using motorcycles (or other means of transportation) to travel on a planned route stopping at five checkpoints, drawing a playing card at each stop. The object of the run is to finish the route with the best poker hand. Great fun. I loved the music that was entertaining us from a main stage in the Center Square. We talked to the friendly staff of Keystone Harley-Davidson in Parryville and I almost thought it would be fun to become a Harley owner just so I could become a member of their “family.” Keystone Harley-Davidson plans “family” functions and year round events. They had a special
bike ride simulator and it was entertaining to watch people try it out, and yes we just watched! I had my first piece of Shoefly pie and loved it! Winnie’s Gourmet Delights (610-4383039) made this delicious concoction, and I bought other goodies to take home such as Crispy Peanut Butter Delights! We had a juicy hamburger at EZ Concessions (610-863- 9723) with all the fixings and my friend was adventuress and had to try a deep fried Oreo cookie! He later went back for seconds. Oh my, they were good! As we walked down Main St. we talked to the staff of Herbs to Success and I learned so much from them. I was interested in “essential oils” that are used for different types of healing properties and she explained that Frankincense and Myrrh, referred to in bible times, are used as an antioxidant and DNA repair. Amazing! There is an organization called Visions of Eagles (www. visionsofeagles.org) that had a stand set up. They are a nonprofit organization operating as a public charity. They work with religious organizations, civic groups, and individuals to identify needs in the Nazareth area. I’m interested in volunteering in my community and this might be the right place for me. For this Bike Fest event they were serving hotdogs cooked in beer, can’t beat that! Don’t you love “freebies?” Sam’s Club of Easton had a table that was giving out candy, crackers and some other snacks! I am a club member and always save so much by purchasing my paper products, bottled water, and the fresh-cut meats from them. They have great outdoor furniture and Sam’s Club offers delivery and will set it up for you. I did this last summer it looks so good on my patio! As we were deciding to head home, we had to walk passed the Cool Treats (www.icecreamtrucks.org) ice cream truck. This truck is the old fashioned musical vehicle that drives through neighborhoods calling for all ice cream

Camp Cooks Continued from page 8
pick one up for a gift. “As more years pass there seems to be more and more interest, too, so we decided to bring back the cookbook, and make it better than ever,” she said. To that end, the Game Commission is looking for a heaping of help from all the camp cooks out there. Whether fired on a spit, browned in a pan or charred on the grill, the Game Commission is interested in any big-game, small-game and migratory-bird recipes you’d like to share as your favorites. The deadline for submissions is June 30. All submissions should include the recipe title, the ingredients and measurements, preparation instructions, the number of servings, and the name or initials of the person submitting the recipe, as well as his or her hometown. A photo of the finished meal also may be submitted. Recipes can be sent by email to pgccomments@pa.gov, or mailed to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, 2001 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-9797. Cooks also are welcome to submit their favorite recipes from the previous edition of the “Pennsylvania Game Cookbook.” Those recipes might be included in a “Tried, True and Tasty” section. Those submitting recipes should note that not all submissions will be included in the book, and recipes will not be returned and might be edited. The cookbook is planned for publication later this year. All submissions are welcome, said Game Commission communications specialist Brittany Howell, who is compiling recipes for the book. The aim, she said, is to include a variety of game recipes sure to please any palette. “In many ways, this cookbook is a celebration of Pennsylvania’s rich hunting and trapping heritage, and every additional recipe we get only will make it better and better.” Howell said. “You might say that, in this case, there’s no such thing as ‘too many cooks.’ So please send in those recipes.”

Ascension Day
Today, Thursday, May 29 is the anniversary of a most glorious day in the life of Jesus Christ; Ascension Day. I look at the ascension of Christ as the explanation point following his rising on the third day after his death. The Nicene Creed and Apostles’ Creed both mention, “he ascended into heaven”. The story of Jesus being taken up into heaven is found in the books of Luke 24:5053 and Acts 1:1-11. This story is as real as all the other stories concerning the life of Jesus. I often wonder why so many Christians are so excited to celebrate the birth of Jesus (Christmas) and his resurrection (Easter) but barely even recognize the rising up into heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father. I guess if Ascension Day fell on a Sunday more Christians would lift this day up a little higher. How dare Christ rise up into heaven on a Thursday! Jesus Christ won your forgiveness and salvation by his death and resurrection. He has arranged everything in his church to deliver to you the forgiveness of sins and to keep you strong in the saving faith. His ascension shows us he did not leave us on our own until he returns again. Jesus has not gone away and forgotten his disciples or us. He has ascended into heaven so he can be with all of his people all around the world; in all places at all times. Jesus Christ does this in and through the church’s ministry of the gospel. This is why the Ascension of our Lord and Savior is such a wonderful day. Yes, most people will forget today is the anniversary of the ascension of our Lord into heaven and fewer yet will celebrate this day. But we are so fortunate that our Lord has never forgotten his church. Remember that and rejoice!
Op-Ed Gov. Corbett Declines to Appeal, PA Marriage Ruling Stands Pennsylvania now the 19th state with marriage equality; 44 percent of Americans live in a state where gay and lesbian couples can legally marry
Submitted by Charles Joughin The day after a federal court struck down Pennsylvania’s ban on marriage equality, Gov. Tom Corbett announced the state would not appeal the ruling, officially making Pennsylvania the nineteenth state, plus the District of Columbia, where gay and lesbian couples can legally marry. As of today, 44 percent of Americans live in a marriage equality state. With today’s announcement, Gov. Corbett joins a number
of other current and former Republican governors who have withdrawn their defense of marriage equality bans in court, including Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California. “Governor Corbett did the right thing in not standing in the way of thousands of loving couples’ ability to make lifelong commitments to each other through marriage,” said Continued on page 14

Mr. and Mrs. Jarred Bleacher Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Bleacher of Moore Township are pleased to announce the marriage of their son Jarred Bleacher to Jennie Truso, on May 16, 2014 at the Forest Lodge House in Foresthill, California.

Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin. “Breaking down this dark wall of discrimination in the Keystone State strengthens our ever-growing momentum as we continue to expand the marriage equality map. Thanks to the hundreds of plaintiffs and attorneys across the country challenging these discriminatory marriage bans, its only a matter of time before a state border no longer dictates whether a loving couple can legally share in the joys of marriage.”
