Historical society has dinner, Hears about cross country hike By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
At the annual meeting and buffet dinner of the Governor Wolf Historical Society on Friday, president Ann Power commended Robert Swan, who has served the past two years as president, and presented a pottery jug to him as a gift of appreciation. Swan said it has been a pleasure serving such a great organization. Guest speaker for the evening was a former history teacher, Gordon T. Ward of Pottersville, N.J. Before he spoke and showed slides, he played guitar and sang the song, “Grandfather’s River.” In 1994 he and Todd Paige hiked cross the United States, tracing the path that the Lewis & Clark Expedition took between 1804 and 1806. Much of the same conditions that they had to endure
more than 200 years ago, Ward and Paige did as well. But they had the advantage of U.S. Geological Survey maps, cell phones, bicycles, intermittent meetings with Continued on page 5

Bath Council amends ordinance, Changes time to put out garbage
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Bath Borough Council on Monday amended an ordinance that sets the time for people to put their trash out for pickup by J. P. Mascaro & Sons. Some people were putting out their garbage on Mondays, but Council said it must now be between 3 and 5 p.m. Tuesdays for pick-up on Wednesdays. Councilwoman Jennifer George suggested one central location for people to bring their bags and garbage cans, rather than leaving the cans or barrels at curbside, and possi-
bly with open lids. She said it sometimes hampers parking. Council will discuss the central location with Mascaro, and it may come about when their contract expires in 2016. Other Matters • Three resolutions were proposed, two of them by H.A.R.B. (Historical & Architectural Review Board). The first approved and is for a certificate of appropriateiness for the property owner to maintain signage. The second recommended demolition of the fire-ravaged home at 128 S. Chestnut St. But when Councilman Mike Reph said he
wouldn’t vote for tearing down a private residence, Solicitor Blake Marles came up with other wording, which Council approved. It said: the house was severely damaged by a fire on March 3, 2014. It was condemned by the Borough and the insurance company deemed it a complete loss and determined it not reasonable to repair the building. If at all possible the building facade should be retained and a new structure built behind the facade. If it is not Continued on page 7
Graduation ceremony held for Elementary D.A.R.E. program
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Sixth grade students who were part of the D.A.R.E. (Drug and Alcohol Resistance Education) program at George Wolf Elementary School in Bath had their graduation ceremony this past Wednesday, April 30. It was led by their instructor, Colonial Regional Police Officer Michael Kovach. As he opened the program he told the more than 85 students from three classes, “Take what you learned in the program and use it, for it comes down to the choices you make.” The top three winners in each class read their personal commitment essays, in which they learned about the dangers of smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol, and abusing drugs. Not only would they subject themselves to risky situations, but harmful health effects including cancer. They also learned that bullying in any degree is something that is harmful to them and their

peers, and is to be avoided. The lessons the boys and girls learned are especially vital as they will soon move into middle school, and from there to senior high school and college, and finally lead a
life of their own, Kovach said. Essay Winners In Mrs. Young’s class, the winners included: 1st, Paige Mathur; 2nd, Inani Tubbs O’Neal; and 3rd, Inaya Tubbs Continued on page 5

by Pete G. Ossip I said last week that it was so dry we’d soon see “no burning” signs posted. Well, that did it! We had a monsoon soon after. But since then, the winds have picked up, and it’s dry again. So, we’ll see. . . .We are getting the May flowers, though, ‘cause the rain and the sun that followed sure have helped bring ‘em on. . . . Got a post card in the mail that says the mail carriers will be collecting non-perishable food items this Saturday, May 10th, to give to the food banks in Bath, Nazareth, Little Moore, and Northampton . There are more all collections around the country, but this is our area. Just leave a bag or two of canned and packaged food by your mailbox, and the carrier will pick it up. The post office people do it every year, and it’s a great way to help families that don’t know where their next meal is coming from. That and the Loaves & Fishes free lunches at the U.C.C. church in town are great. There’s still lots of people outta work, and food banks are a blessing. . . .Just heard by way of the grapevine that the Bath farmers market will be opening their season next Friday, the 16th. It’s still early for fresh off the farm veggies, but I know they’ll have lots of good things to buy, so head on down to Keystone Park on Green Street and shop to your heart’s content. . . . There was a big car show by the Blue Mountain Classics down at Ciff Cowling Field on Saturday. Lots of cars for people to look at, and Mayor Fi gave out a special Mayor’s Award to the best one. By the way, Ye Ed showed me a list of all the things she’s been
at here of late – like the scout breakfast early in the morning over at the BarnHouse, LearnN-Play daycare, the kids’ fishing contest, midget football meeting, Hess’s Daze with the Nazareth Business Council, and the boroughs’ meeting here in the mid-east counties. Busy gal! Followed suit of past Mayor Don, I reckon. . . . I hear Clark Smith asked, “Where’s the donuts? “ when he saw other goodies at the hearts game over at the Bath Legion. Donuts are his favorites. . . . Phillies are taking on a tough schedule, home and home with the Toronto Blue Jays. They did get pretty close to first place until then. . . .

Student wins “Keep Christ in Christmas” poster contest Good Shepherd Catholic School (Northampton) seventh grade student Zoe DavisLuizer won at the state level and was named runner-up in the international level of the Knights of Columbus “Keep Christ in Christmas” poster contest. The contest is open to all young people in the state of Pennsylvania and internationally, between the ages of 5 and 14. All posters are judged on their illustration of the theme “Keep Christ in Christmas” and each poster must be an original work. Students who
place in the district contest move on to the regional competition and then on to the state level and finally the international level. Zoe Davis-Luizer, following her win at the state level, went on to be judged internationally. Among 2,000 poster entries she was named runnerup. She received a framed certificate and a $100.00 check.

Submitted by ANITA RUTT-GUERRIERE On Friday, May 9, at 11:00 a.m., National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) covering the greater Lehigh Valley is kicking-off the nation’s largest single-day Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. This year, the actual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive will take place on Saturday, May 10. In 2013, over 330,000 pounds of food donations were collected and distributed locally among those in need. At a press conference this Friday, a NALC spokesperson will release expected 2014 goal for food donations to be collected in Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and surrounding communities within the greater Lehigh Valley area. In addition to NALC, other sponsors supporting the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive this year include Campbell Soup Company, the U.S. Postal Service, Feeding America, AARP Foundation, the AFL-CIO, the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association, United Way, Uncle Bob’s Self Storage, Valassis Communications, Publix, and Valpak. To participate in the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, residents are encouraged to leave factory-sealed, non-perishable food items in a sturdy bag next to their mailbox prior to the time of their regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 10. Non-perishable foods include items that are not in glass containers such as canned soup, canned vegetables, canned tuna, pasta, rice or cereal. Local letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver the mail on Saturday and provide them to Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania and other local member agencies. The food drive’s timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the November-December holiday season. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need. Currently, 49 million Americans – 1 in 6 – are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Sixteen million are children and nearly 5 million are seniors over age 60 that are food insecure.

Canaanites, such as contacting the dead or other divining of knowledge. Another main theme in God’s Word is that His people are to walk by faith – faith in God alone. God gives His Holy Spirit for guidance, and He reveals all we need to know to live life. Whether or not people can contact the dead or are really contacting demonic spirits doesn’t matter. What matters is that God wants us to seek Him and Him only. He alone has all knowledge and love. Don’t mess with stuff that can mess you up as it once did me.

The fact that the Bible addresses this issue shows that the practice exists, and that it dates back to ancient times. What does the Bible have to say? It strictly forbids the practice. If God gives his people a command, it is always for our good. One way the Old Testament commands can be understood is by discerning God’s purpose as we find themes that run throughout the Bible. One theme is that His people are to be a holy people; therefore, the Children of Israel were commanded not to take part in the pagan practices of the

I suspect that most of us prefer a clean bathroom when we visit a restaurant, grocery store or department store. Just like the public is crying out loud for extreme customer service, I believe, we are crying even harder for clean facilities. I visited a very well known store over the weekend and went to the restroom to wash my hands. They had the handy dandy chart on the wall that said an employee was in there checking for cleanliness 1/2 hour ago, I’m saying she had to be a no show. The sink was so soaked with water it looked like a child took a bath in the sinks. Big blobs of soap all over the sink, paper towels all over the floor. Now we might have a tendency to blame the customers for being sloppy but, at the end of the day, I’ve never seen anyone messing up a washroom, so they must be doing it when no one is looking. I have a dream, a “CLEAN LATRINE”! A place that is clean, well kept, and, I’ll go a step further, have it as an example of the rest of your business. So the question is, do your customers expect your place to be clean? As a customer, do we prefer to shop in a clean and neat place or are we okay with so so, sloppy, and unkempt? I have noticed that unkempt places generally have unkempt owners. My guess is cleanliness counts. Your customers are spenders and spenders judge everything you do just because they believe they have spender’s rights. Carol’s Clean Latrine Top Ten Rules Start with your Latrine- it says a lot about you, keep it sparkling clean and don’t mask it with perfumy chemicals.

an RV, and other conveniences, which Lewis and Clark did not. Ward told his historical society listeners that the original hikers had the help of friendly Native Americans, saw buffalos and other wildlife, crossed rivers such as the Missouri and Yellowstone, had to scale mountains and ridges, cross desert wilderness, and endured sickness. On the orders of Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark had to keep a journal of all their experiences and all that they saw, so that they could on paper show what type of land and waters the country had. They mapped 8,000 miles of waterways, and although it was just their estimate, it proved to be only 40 miles off the actual count. Lewis helped an Indian woman give birth to a child along the way, and she and the baby went with them. After the expedition, Clark adopted the child, so he would have a better life than the Indians could provide. Ward and Paige went backpacking, hiking and canoeing on this trip across deserts, along rivers and up and down steep mountains. There was vast open space then, as now, and ranchers now need planes to even go to a grocery store 80 miles away. In Montana, they endured a severe thunderstorm of heavy rain, wind, and hail as large as grapefruits. In one area they were swarmed by mosquitoes and had to cover up completely. Ward became sick from dehydration at one point and had to lay down in their canoe as Paige paddled. When they went to a hospital, doctors saw a patch of red on Ward’s side. He had lyme disease from a tick that bit him weeks earlier in New Jersey. Slides Ward had of the trip showed the wilderness and also the beauty of the rock formations, including the Gate to the Rockies. The only thing that exists today from the Lewis & Clark Expedition is a stone at Yellowstone River in Montana on which Clark etched his name. Lewis was depressed after the trip and committed suicide. Clark married and had a good life.
HIKERS Todd Paige and Gordon Ward are shown after the trip they took that duplicated the Lewis & Clark Expedition of 1804 to 1806.

Federation Gets Reports from WCO and Game Chairman
At last Monday’s Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs meeting, WCO Shawna Burkett, who covers the lower part of Northampton and Lehigh counties, reported on a poaching investigation she did. She told about a Lehigh County case, in which the person was cited for a misdemeanor for two deer he shot and paid a fine of $2,341. She feels there were more offenses and he could have paid a lot stiffer fine of up to $10,000. She will keep an eye on him if he does it again.
She also reported that people are showing what small animals they kill and put it on Facebook. They are illegal and could also face fines. The past seasons’ deer harvest was 134,280 antlered and 218,640 antlerless, both increases over the previous year. WCO Shawna picks up road-killed deer if they are a hazard on the roadway, but generally that is left up to PennDOT. She also said that even with the hard winter we had, deer know how to handle it and there was no major die-off. The deer came out thinner, and many of them went into back yards for food. Game committee chairman Ed Tanczos reported that turkey beards were frozen, however, and some were knocked off by the ice. He, too, reported deer eating plants in yards. . . .21 deer hang out in his Moore Township neighborhood, and also two bears. . . .There are bald eagles around and one attacked a wild turkey, taking off its feathers. As noted in last week’s column, the annual Northampton County Junior Conservation School will be on July 13 to 20 at the 4-H Center in Bushkill Township, and at other parts of the county for boys and girls 14 to 17. Applications forms are available.

Our Best Friends Have Hairy Legs! The Scoop on Pets Animal Blood Bank
Has your pet ever had an accident or illness, which caused him to require blood? Did you wonder where the blood came from? Just like human blood banks, there are many animal blood banks across the country. Veterinarians and Pet Emergency centers can acquire blood from these centers, just as hospitals get their blood products from human blood banks. We are very lucky, living in the Lehigh Valley, to have the Valley Central Animal Blood Bank as a resource. My Maggie was a donor for several years, and was recently retired, due to a need for daily
medication. Pet blood donation is key to keeping the blood banks stocked with blood. Once the whole blood is collected, it can be separated into packed red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma, depending on the particular need. The blood and its parts are used for snake bites, pancreatitis, surgeries, accidents, clotting disorders, anemia, and much more. The actual donation process is quite painless for the pet. Maggie enjoyed going to donate. After the donation is complete, the pet is offered vitamins and a can of wet,
Introducing
tasty food and water, instead of the juice and donuts offered to human donors. The blood bank does a required yearly blood testing, which checks for Lyme, Heartworm and other blood diseases, at no cost to the donor, saving on vet bills. Most banks provide a free toy, bag of treats and heartworm meds and Frontline, also at no charge to the donor. They also provide lots of love to the pet. If you are considering having your dog donate blood, he must meet the following requirements: 1-8 years of age Use flea & tick preventative Use year-round Heartworm preventative Current on all required vaccinations At least 50 pounds
Able to be still for 5 minutes without squirming Not on prescription medication Generally, before your pet’s first donation, he will have an orientation appointment. During the appointment, the initial blood testing will be done, and he will meet the staff, in order to evaluate his comfort level with being kept still for the 5 minutes. Any questions that you have will be answered by the staff, and hopefully, you will be able to schedule your pet’s first blood draw. If you would like to sign your pet up to donate, contact the Valley Central Emergency Blood Bank at 610435-5588 ext 110. Denise Cassidy-Dietsch Doodie Calls, LLC www.doodiecalls.us

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Uptown park still going ahead Despite different Council views By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Although not on the agenda, the issue of the uptown park along Main Street was discussed again on Thursday at Borough Council meeting. Council President John Yurish made it clear that he’s not in favor of it because of insufficient space. Councilman Robert McHale said Northampton needs to present a plan and wish list with a budget of expenses to Northampton County. Councilman Anthony Pristash also said he doesn’t see it as a finalized
plan. Community planner Victor Rodite again showed a sketch plan that he had presented at the last Council meeting. The state approved $65,000 from Monroe County gambling funds for everything on the wish list except what CDBG money Northampton County will provide. The borough would match the state funds with $32,000. Councilman Ed Pany said the borough can work around the $105,000 ceiling approved last month to do the best they can at the park.

Happy Mother’s Day! -From Paolo
Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said there may be donations coming in that will help get all the items on the wish list. This opinion was prompted by a statement made earlier in the meeting by Exchange Club president John McKenzie, who commended the borough for the banners they put up for holidays, and saying that the uptown park is a great idea for the borough and that the Exchange will do what it can to help. Rodite said there is flexibility in the plan. He said he promoted the farmers market to improve the business atmosphere in the borough, giving a sense of community. There would be benches to sit on for people to relax. But also needed, according to Mike Edelman, are restrooms. Assistant Business Manager and secretary LeRoy Brobst read from his minutes that Council would proceed with the park, with costs not to exceed $105,000. Rodite and a crew from public works spray-painted a layout of how the uptown park will look like when the project is completed. Other Matters • Approval was given for use of the borough’s band trailer by Hammerhead Lounge (a local business), June 7, for an outdoor party and South Whitehall Township, July 18, both renting it for $100 a day along with a delivery and setup fee. Northampton Liederkranz also wanted it for August 16, but it was already committed on that day for Christ UCC Church, Little Moore in Danielsville. Council did approve letting the Liederkranz close off Siegfried Ave. between 9th St. and Bridge Alley on August 16. • Permission was given for patrolmen Kieska and Frantz to attend a two-day training session at the Allentown Police Academy on self defense May 21-22. • Council accepted with regret the resignation of Jodi Moravek as police secretary, after serving since 1996. Council then approved Kathy Lindenmoyer as police secretary. She has been police department receptionist/secretary. • An actuarial study will be conducted before a cost-of-living raise is approved for the borough’s retired policemen, with it giving Council an idea how much it will cost. • Council okayed a coin toss by the fire department for May 17 at 21st & Main Sts. from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Exchange will have theirs on May 10th at Held Drive near Redner’s. Committee Reports Councilman Robert Coleman for administration and finance reported: Receipt of $7,723.71 from MRM Insurance Trust in dividends. He also said scout Daniel Mycio has finished a flower garden at Canal St. Park Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Jr. reported that the borough’s swimming pool will open on June 7 and close August 16. Pool passes can be obtained at the recreation center before the opening. . . Also
9 THE HOME NEWS May 8-14, 2014
in his building, land and recreation report it was noted that the recreation center will have a trip to Harrah’s Casino in Chester on June 4 as a fund raiser, and that $1,470 in a memorial fund from the passing of Edward Moser will be used to buy new flat screen TV’s in the center’s fitness room. Councilman McHale for code and police reported that the zoning office has issued a permit for a new daycare center in a portion of the former Gospel Chapel at 2022 Main St., known as Rainbow Butterfly Learning Center. Councilman Lopsonzski, Sr. said the new fire station addition should be finished in 60 days and a dedication ceremony will be held in July for a plaque that will be placed on it. Councilman Keith Piescienski reported that instead of replacing a 1995 pick-up truck, its floor and wheel wells will be repaired and a
new V plow will be purchased for it, all for less than $8,000. Winter expenses made that the choice rather than spending $30,000 for a new truck and plow. Park benches along the canal walkway are being refurbished and placed on pavers by the public works personnel. Council Remarks Lopsonzski, Sr. suggested painting stripes on Canal Street where a daycare center is located, because of speeding drivers. He also said he is opposed to having a daycare center near busy Rt. 329. Pany welcomed Allen Twsp. Supervisor Larry Oberly to the meeting and expressed sadness at the death of John Topfer, who he lauded at the last meeting. Pristash acknowledged the wonderful partnership with the Exchange Club. McHale said potholes are being repaired.

Nazareth Council Discusses Numerous Issues
By DAVID SICA The Home News
The monthly meeting of Nazareth Borough Council went into overtime on Monday mostly because the business and motions filled the majority of the evening. Even to the point where somewhere between the 'Aquatic' or 'Electrical' construction points of the meeting, Chairman Daniel Chiavaroli had to ask a second time for motion passage and made use of a gavel that was available to him. The majority of the council business was centered around the new pool that is set to begin construction May 14th and conclude October 31st, 2014. There was a specific motion to accelerate the completion date to October 31. This moved the date eight months ahead of schedule. The specifications in the motions regarding the pool were scrutinized earlier in the day at special meeting involving Public Property Committee, Borough Solicitor, Borough Engineer, Clerk of Works, Pool Architect, and
the Borough Secretary/Treasurer. The recommendations on acceptance or denial of options were finalized at that time. All expenditures involving the construction were passed by close of the meeting. However, despite unanimous passage of all motions relating to the pool, it was brought to attention as whether costs should be revisited, for the good of the residents. The Public Property Committee recommended an alteration to the design of the pool. The change was an expansion from 6 to 8 lanes in the pool. The total cost of this change comes to $43,500.00. The pool's cost overall seems to be upward of $3 million. There was mention of a potential ground breaking ceremony for May 13th for the new pool, but there was no definitive decision at close of meeting The evening was full of savings denials, spending approvals, and everything in between. There were savings denied as high as $14,000 and

spending as high as upwards of $2 million. Not all of the spending in Monday's meeting was a product of the pool construction, some of the payments approved were related to the police. There was a raise in hourly rates for part time officers. Hired officers and first year policemen will now receive $20.00 per hour and after 1 year, they will be paid $22.00 per hour. There was an allocation of $295.00 for Officer Eric Schwab's AR-15 training in Lowell, Maryland. The borough will supply the ammunition. In non-financial related news, police “foot patrols” have begun and are going well. Also, there will be a change in the police policy and procedure manual, but it has not been approved by the council or their insurance company. They project it will take one year to complete

and approve with the help of an outside entity. No further information was made available. Another motion that was approved, regarding the police, was 6 iPads for use in the department as well as their official cars. This was at a cost of $10,030.86. The fire department also received funds for equipment. There was a $290.00 purchase of batteries and other small equipment. The only other expenditure was $7,152.00 for switching from halogen to LED lighting on the tower truck. The 'Construction Test-
ing' portion of the meeting was expansive as well. There was a motion passed to provide construction testing and observation services during the construction of the pool. The bill per day is not to exceed $25,000. However, there seemed to be a lot of disbelief from the residents in the audience, presumably, to the factual accuracy of this statement. The 2013 audit of borough fiances, completed by Palmer & Company, found no irregularities. There was a motion approving “Phase Continued on page 11

Also, in other security system related motions, a contract with RCN Cable for a hookup in the Borough Garage in the park was approved at a cost of $1,150.13. This hookup is said to serve as the link to the borough's new security surveillance system. There was a change in the recent Chapter 20 ordinance that will allow residents to put trash out earlier beginning today. Of the 20+ warnings that were handed out during the original restriction, it was stated that 99% of them would be resolved as a result. A few items were not on the agenda, but were passed.

It was passed unanimously. Also, the Lions club was given permission to celebrate its 90th anniversary by planting a tree outside the council chambers, near the “Chinese maple” tree in the park. Also Approved Wes Lambert and Dr. Rodney Altemose, to hold a Blue Eagle band Alumni picnic and Cancer fundraiser in the park on August 23, 2014. The permission included allowing a bounce house, dunk tank, and other games. Brenton's Hope Foundation requested permission for their annual Dragonfly 5k race/walk on September 22, 2014 from 9:00am – 11:00am. It was approved pending a certificate of insurance and payment for a parade permit. The YMCA requested use of the Veteran's Memorial Square field for teaching soccer skills on July 8 through Aug. 1 and from August 4 to Aug. 8. In another item that wasn't on the docket, Council informed residents who live off S. Academy Road & Franklin St. that after years of no activity in the quarry, there will be blasting two times per week. The blasting would be for the 'reclamation project' and they informed everyone it would be “quieter” blasting than before. Currently, they are at two out of four phases.

Nearly 300 Join Nazareth’s Relay
By DANIELLE S. TEPPER Special to The Home News
Relay For Life is so much more than a walk; it’s a movement which gathers more than four million people in over 20 countries each year to band together and stand against the disease which has touched and taken innumerable lives. “It’s the largest nonprofit fundraiser in the world,” according to Catharine Lee. “It’s completely volunteer-driven. We have a year-round committee that works on putting it together.” Lee is an Income Development Representative for the American Cancer Society and co-chair of Nazareth’s own Relay which began Saturday, May 3 and ran for 24 hours for the first time. At 11 a.m. at the high school’s Andrew S. Leh Stadium, the opening ceremony kicked off with comments from State Rep Marcia Hahn and Superintendent Dr. Dennis Riker, the National Anthem, and a fitting rendition of Sara Bareilles’ iconic song “Brave” (sung by Liz Kerner) as survivors proudly took the first lap. “At least 42 survivors registered,” said Lee’s co-chair, Rebecca Silfies. “But every single team here is walking for someone,” added Lee. 2014 is the seventh year for the Nazareth relay, but only the second year as its own entity. In prior years, it acted as a “feeder” to the Slate Belt event. Assisting Lee and Silfies as honorary chair was Bushkill Elementary student and fiveyear leukemia survivor, Averi Stitzer. Now 7, she was diagnosed in 2008 at two years old. (www.braveri.org) “They [the Stitzers] Relayed with us last year and this year, they got a little bit more involved,” said Lee. “Who could not love Averi? So, we asked her and she was so excited about Relay last year, becase it’s her day and that’s what she tells everybody. We thought it was a good fit.” (The day before the event, Stitzer’s mother Wendy paid a visit to the Relay for Life of Nazareth Facebook page to say, “Averi didn’t sleep all night! She’s so excited!!”) Throughout the day, a full plate of activities was served up by each team tent, not to mention the extras such as a conga line, pajama party, flashlight egg hunt, and themed laps around the track. 9 p.m. marked the luminaria ceremony and tribute video with remembrance lap. 24

News Sermonette The Rev. Barry Mitchell Pastor, Emmanuel’s Lutheran Church
Hiding in Plain Sight
“That same day two of Jesus’ disciple) were walking to the village Emmaus, about seven miles out of Jerusalem. They were deep in conversation, going over all these things that had happened. In the middle of their talk and questions, Jesus came up and walked along with them. But they were not able to recognize who he was.” Luke 24:13-16 The Message. Walt Disney World in Florida is a favorite vacation destination for us. Naturally, we were delighted when our oldest son got a job at Walt Disney World. It gave us an even better excuse for visiting! Nearly every time we visited, he was able to show us something new that we had not yet discovered. For part of his time there, he worked deep in the tunnels (yes, there really are tunnels under the Magic Kingdom) in the Disney Operational Command Center right under Cinderella’s Castle. He would show us things we never would have noticed on our own and it made our time there extra special. It was our son who got us hooked on looking for “Hidden Mickeys.” The artists and engineers who built it all decided to leave discreet images of Mickey Mouse all over the park, in plain sight, but hidden to those who aren’t looking for them. One of my favorites is a place setting on the banquet table in the Haunted Mansion. Two saucers are placed in position against a larger dinner plate – forming the three circles that resemble the wellknown logo of Mickey Mouse. Hidden Mickeys are etched into pavement, painted into ride scenery, built into fences and arranged in the landscaping. But most visitors just walk right by and never notice. It always amazes me to read the story from Luke’s Gospel, where two of his followers walk miles with Jesus following his resurrection and fail to recognize the one with whom they are walking. I’d like to believe that I would certainly recognize Jesus if he walked next to me for several miles. But I’m not so sure that I would do any better than they did on that first Easter day. I’ve grown up with pictures of Jesus, paintings on church walls, and even portrayals in movies. Long hair, beard, long white robe – we all think we know what he must look like. But the truth is that Jesus came into the world looking just like everyone else in his time and place. He blended in, because he was one of us. That’s a part of the whole scandal of Jesus – God becomes a person with no shining halo and for at least most of the time, no special glow. And this same Jesus lives today. He is present with us in and through the Holy Spirit. God walks alongside of us in plain sight, yet not always easily recognized. The next time a stranger seems to appear out of nowhere to offer some help or maybe even ask for some of your help – take a second look. After all, if two disciples who had been with him just days before could walk for miles and not realize it was Jesus – we might be looking for him in all the wrong faces (and places). hours is a lot of time to map out, something Silfies attributes to not being able to know what to expect. The Relay concluded Sunday at 11 a.m. with their closing ceremony. 19 teams and 285 participants raised well over $42,700 according to the Nazareth Relay website, all of which goes directly to the American Cancer Society for research and programs.

Cement Worker Of Month
By ED PANY Mr. Nelson Hoff was reared in the Bath area, the youngest of 14 children. His father Horace, a 25-year Keystone employee, was a quarry mechanic. Unfortunately, he passed away when Nelson was 15 years old. He recalled, “I worked on a local farm when I was 12 years old.” He graduated from Nazareth High School in 1969. Nelson said, “I started my cement career at Keystone in 1979 being hired by plant manager, Frank Silfies. Over my 35 years, I have worked as a quarry mechanic, maintenance man, carpenter/ millwright. Currently, I am a Class A Millwright.” I asked about his job responsibilities. Nelson replied, “We have a 14 member millwright gang working on repairing and maintaining all equipment in the plant including welding. “The team consists of highly skilled men who share information and work cooperatively to keep the plant operating safely and efficiently. A radio communication system keeps us well informed on plant problems.” Two fine men, Roger Derr and Mark Dlugos, supervise the maintenance team. The new Keystone plant has a large belt conveyor system moving materials throughout the plant. It requires continued maintenance. Safety is a priority at Keystone. Weekly Friday morning safety meetings discuss any concerns or problems. Mr. Hoff works both day and afternoon shifts; his afternoon partner is Rich Seier. Nelson enjoys coming to his job each day. He fondly remembers former employees Danny Schlegel and George Gasper who worked closely with him. Nelson’s spare time activities have kept him quite busy. The family supports activities at the Edgeboro Moravian Church from baking tasty Moravian sugar cakes to Benevolence breakfasts, coached Nazareth midget wrestling, Bushkill Township baseball and softball teams, Upper Nazareth Clippers softball team and Bushkill Township T-Ball. All his sons wrestled for the Nazareth Blue Eagles. Nelson has been married to Sherri (Lahr) Hoff for 41 years. Sherri is the Guest Relations Manager at Martin Guitar in Nazareth. They are proud of daughter Heather, a Director of Nursing, sons Heath who

Keystone-Bath is employed by Martin, Justin and Jarret, teachers at Easton and Nazareth, and son-inlaw Ryan James, a Keystone employee. There are 11 lively grandchildren providing for many holiday gatherings. Mr. Hoff is a friendly, dedicated cement worker following the work ethic taught to him by his parents. The hardy employer plans to retire in 2015. We wish him and his wonderful family good health and a fruitful retirement. This writer always appreciates the warm reception I receive from the Keystone family on my semi-annual visits.

Colonial Regional
Disturbance With Domestic Assault
Colonial Regional Police were called to the residence of Carl Toth at 481 Midland Rd., Nazareth, on April 22 because his son, Dorian, 39, was intoxicated, outside in the street, and causing a disturbance. Officer Laudenslager arrived on the scene and made contact with Dorian, who was highly intoxicated and very agitated. Dorian went back into his home, where the officer, along with Sgt. Wendling of CRPD, went to speak with him. Dorian was angry with police for coming to his house and with his father for calling them. Several times Dorian tried to get around police to yell at his father. He had to be physically restrained and placed under arrest after he tried to attack his father. While in handcuffs and lying on the floor, Dorian kicked his father several times in his legs. He also made several threats to the police that he wanted to get a gun and kill the police. Dorian was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment of injuries and his intoxication. Once he was released, he was arraigned on the charges of domestic violence for simContinued on page 15

Horner’s Cemetery (1745) was the center of the 1728 Scot-Irish Craig Settlement. The historic cemetery is located in East Allen Township. It is the final resting place for many residents who fought in the Revolutionary War. One of the families who contributed to our struggle for independence was the Ralston family. Jane Ralston would marry Rev. John Rosbrugh, pastor of the Presbyterian congregation at the Craig Settlement and a pious man who would be called the “Chaplain of the Revolution.” At the request of Gen. George Washington and Col. John Siegfried, Northampton’s most famous revolutionary soldier, Rev. Rosbrugh read a letter calling on his congregation to enlist in the Continental Army, saying he would accompany them as their chaplain. The men insisted that he be come along as their captain, not as their chaplain. He accepted the provision and returned to tell his wife. His wife’s brother, Gen. Robert Brown, was at this time a British prisoner of war. The
congregation gathered to “see the boys off,” and the men marched to Philadelphia arriving on Dec. 24, 1776. There, Rosbrugh was relieved of his command and made chaplain of the 3rdBattalion, Northampton Militia. Our first soldiers would cross the Delaware River. Gen. Washington was outnumbered, and performed a magnificent military feat by outflanking the British and Hessian troops and captured Trenton. It was a smashing victory for the young army. Capt. Rosbrugh, being among the last contingent going in to Trenton ahead of the British and not being wise in military maneuvers, lingered behind to eat supper. A Hessian patrol surprised Rev. Rosbrugh, who attempted to escape seeking refuse in a grove. He was captured and the young pastor became a prisoner of war, but the Hessians bayoneted “the rebel parson”to death while he knelt at the foot of a tree pleading for his life and praying for his enemy. His body was found by his men who wrapped him in a cloak and buried him where they had found him.

Happy Mother’s Day from the Home News
Pastor Dies In Revolution Continued from page 13
Later he was reinterred in
the churchyard of the First Presbyterian Church in Trenton. The young pastor, who came to the settlement in 1769, has been forgotten. He died dreaming that one day the colonies would emerge as a new nation of freed men. Rev. Rosbrugh was the first cleric to die in the Revolutionary War. Ms. Peggy Spengler-Moser, who is leading efforts to restore the Horner’s Cemetery, was born in the house built by James Ralston in East Allen Township. This home was built for his daughter Jane and her husband Rev. Rosbrugh around 1769. Jane Ralston Rosbrugh rests in Horner’s Cemetery, a long way from her patriot husband. A mother of 5 children, she raised her family with love and affection. Jane entered eternity
on March 27, 1809. Much of the research in this column came from my late teacher at Northampton High School, Mr. Ray Wall, who wrote “NorthamptonThe Town That Wants You,” in 1940. The next meeting of the Horner Cemetery Historical Society will be on Tuesday, May 20 that the Northampton Public Library at 6pm. Everyone is welcomed. They are looking for help with advertising, event coordinator, ground crew manager, educational coordinator, and more. Actual cemetery work and tours will be every Sat. morning from now until October. Feel free to come out and learn more about the men and woman who were the first to the Lehigh Valley. Meet the founders of the towns of Bath and Northampton, and the founders of Allen and East Allen Townships. Donations to preserve the cemetery can be sent to: Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society, Attn: Mr. Kevin Brown, Treasurer, 2050 Dennis Lane, Bethlehem, PA 18017. For questions and tours, please call Peggy.

Police Blotter Continued from page 13
ple assault and harassment. He was also charged with terroristic threats and was committed to Northampton Count Prison on $25,000 cash bail.
On April 14 at 6 p.m., Sherif Abouzid, 19, of Jersey City, N.J. and a 19-year-old female from Bethlehem went to the Wine & Spirits store at Rt. 248 in Lower Nazareth Township. Abouzid asked her to go in the store and pick up his purchase. While she was in the store, Abouzid abandoned her and drove away with her book bag and wallet in his car. Abouzid returned the book bag and wallet on a later date,
but took $20.00 from the girl’s wallet. He is charged with theft by unlawful taking. A summons was mailed to him.
D.U.I. and Assault on Officer
Colonial Regional Police were on the scene of a DUI crash on Nazareth Pike just north of Daniels Rd. on April 27. The roadway was closed due to a utility pole damaged and emergency crews on the scene. Traffic was being detoured when a white 2011 Subaru approached the scene at about
2:50 a.m. and the driver failed to follow instructions to turn around. Police talked with the driver, Alex W. Smith, 23, of S. Fairview St., Nazareth, who had a strong odor of alcoholic beverages on his breath, and his speech was slurred. Police detained Smith on the scene by removing his keys from the car and instructing the driver to stay in the car. While waiting on mutual aid for back-up, the offender got out of his car and fled the scene on foot, running into the back yard of 452 Nazareth Pike. Police were able to tackle Smith after he tripped jumping a row of bushes. A physical altercation began with the offender physically resisting arrest and during the altercation the officer was struck in the mouth, causing a bloody and swollen lip. Smith managed to get away from the officer and he fled on foot towards Daniels Rd. Multiple surrounding agencies assisted in the search for the offender and he wasn’t located. The officer sustained only minor injuries and he was treated at the scene by Bethlehem Township EMS. Police had Smith’s I.D. from
www.HomeNewsPA.com
the original stop and contact was made with his parents, who eventually talked him into turning himself in to police. He was arraigned before District Judge Tidd on these charges: aggravated assault, simple assault, resisting arrest, escape, DUI, disorderly conduct, and harassment. Smith was committed to Northampton County Prison n $25,000 bail with 10%. He was also on active Pennsylvania State Parole and a detainer was lodged for the alleged parole violation.
Hit and Run
A Nazareth man faces several charges, including hit and run, after an accident in the 3800 block of Newburg Rd. on April 5. CRPD responded and witnesses gave them the license number of the vehicle that fled the scene. The driver was identified as Andrew J. Mengel, 19, of Whitfield St., Nazareth. The charges included damage to attended vehicle or property, learner’s permit violation, driving at safe speed, careless driving, and duty to give information and render aid. They were filed with DJ Barner.
