Jr. Conservation School Plants Trees At Jacobsburg Center

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The Northampton County Junior Conservation School isn’t just about the week of lectures and hands-on conservation and environmental experiences they have in July.

The ex-students, counselors, other staff and board members meet on the third Friday of every month at 7:30 p.m. with their director, Andy Curtis, at the new Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center in Bushkill Township and they plan activities throughout the year that deal with the outdoors and environment, as well as fund-raising projects.

This past Saturday they planted trees on the spacious Jacobsburg park land run by the Pa. Dept. of Conservation & Natural Resources. Curtis advised them to dress appropriately for the weather, bring work gloves, wear sturdy shoes/boots, and have water and a snack for refreshments.

And so, with shovels and

Two locations were picked to plant the trees supplied by DCNR, the Keller Road bridge site and the Henry’s Wood restoration site.

They spent a good part of the day planting the trees, starting shortly after 10 a.m. and lasting until almost 2 p.m.

Pizza was supplied for a noon lunch. Wiltraut explained how to plant the trees so they would grow and provide the food and cover for wildlife in the area. The first tree planted was a flowering dogwood,

which Wiltraut said has white flowers and red berries. He recommended it for yards.

A plastic netting was used to keep the small trees erect.

Where the area was hard and rough, a post hole digger first dug the holes, and the volunteers finished it with shovels and topsoil.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Interesting Phenomenon

By CAROL RITTER

Volunteerism is an interesting phenomenon, but is it working? I helped to plan my latest class reunion and the first night was held at Celtic Fest last weekend. I’m told Celtic Fest is the largest Irish festival in the country, but, an even more unbelieveable fact, is that it is volunteer driven.

Being volunteer run, its system is an interesting phenomenon.

I arrived at the tent early with the reunion team. We had two hours to set up and we went to work, first getting some air in the tent, second, setting up tables, third, hauling in food and, finally, setting up the bar (all done by volunteers). We realized then that we didn’t have any trash cans. I ran to my contact for the evening, Ginger, for trash cans and they arrived in about five minutes. Our soft drinks weren’t cold enough so we ordered ice, which arrived in

about five minutes. And then, the party began.

About halfway through, we ran out of wine. I went to see Ginger and I think we had the wine in less than five minutes also. Superb job, and yes, all were volunteers. So many times I hear from businesses and non-profits telling me they can’t get anyone to help, that no one wants to volunteer anymore, that when they get a volunteer, they leave. I always have the same simple answer.... Leadership, Leadership, Leadership.

What makes volunteers tick? Let’s start with Celtic Fest. It might be serving a brew, having fun, or even being a part of a team. Or it might be a desire to continue to celebrate the hertitage; it’s the only weekend a man can get away with wearing a kilt while attending this Guinessfilled event. All of the above perhaps, but at the end of the day, there really is only one thing that turns the head of a volunteer: APPRECIATION, APPRECIATION, APPRECIATION! So, if you marry an extraordinary leader with the ability to literally walk in a volunteer’s shoes, they know the secret ingredient to recriuting and retaining a volunteer team. One cup of apprecia-

tion, 1/2 a cup of fun, 1/4 cup of mission, 1/2 teaspoon of luck, and you are there.

It is an interesting phenomenon because it’s the same in business, pay attention to your employees, appreciate them, create a fun environment and you will get your wine in less than five minutes.

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip The leaves are really starting to turn colors now, especially up country way where it’s been cooler. They’re falling, too, so it won’t be long till the branches of trees are bare. . . .I hope the weather forecast is wrong, but they say it’s gonna rain on Saturday. Maybe it will be just a little sprinkle, or it will spoil Bath’s Community Day, and all the festivities as we Turn Bath Pink for cancer awareness starting that day. Community Day will be at Keystone Park over at Green and Race Streets, and the “pink heels” fire truck will be parked at Roger Rehrig’s Thirsty Quenchers parking lot on South Walnut Street, along with the Miller-Keystone blood donor van, and a mini talking ambulance. Then there will be a pet parade out on Poplar Street with the pets dressed in pink. Cross your fingers and hope for a clear day!! . . . . The Saturday after that, on the 11th, there will be the 5K run/walk down at Ciff Cowling Field. On the 18th, everybody will gather down at the George Wolf School, forming themselves into a ribbon, as we all support cancer research. . . .It was good to see Larry Angst visit here from his home in Seattle this week.

him after all these years, but brother Jim introduced him at the U.C.C. church service on Sunday and he sang with the choir. They enjoyed some of Garry Hunsicker’s potatoes at a spud luncheon afterward. . . .”Chow” Silfies is back with the hearts gang at the Legion, but not score keeping as yet.

“Bear” is back from salmon fishing in New York, but says they were zonked. . . .Coaches called the play, I guess, but I think Nick Foles or one of his backs shoulda run around to either side of the defense at the one-yard line instead of throwing two bad passes, and then maybe the Eagles woulda pulled that game out over the 49ers. Otherwise, the offense was like limberger cheese. . . . Phillies have gone home, and the baseball playoffs start Friday. Good luck to Derek Jeter in his retirement. I’m not a Yankee rooter, but he had a lot of class. . . .

Northampton has one win in football, their first game, and now Nazareth has their first, beating the Konkrete Kids. . . .

Recognizing the Symptoms and Finding Care

By: Vicki Crow, of Home Helpers Northern Lehigh Valley, October 2014

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and irreversible brain disease that slowly destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behaviors severe enough to affect one's work, lifelong hobbies and social life.

Alzheimer's worsens over time, and it is fatal. Today, it is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States.

Early Alzheimer’s detection helps ensure that those diagnosed are receiving proper care. The more data we gather concerning the possible causes of Alzheimer’s disease, the sooner researchers will find a cure. Below are 10 warning signs that may indicate Alzheimer’s: 1. Memory loss 2. Problems with language 3. Misplacing things 4. Disorientation 5. Poor or decreased judgment 6. Difficulty performing familiar tasks 7. Problems with abstract thinking

8. Changes in mood or behavior 9. Changes in personality 10. Loss of initiative If your loved one is exhibiting any of the signs above, it’s important to consult their doctor. Dealing with Alzheimer’s can be emotionally challenging, but the more familiar you are with the signs and symptoms of the disease the better you will be able to cope with the disease and relieve stress.

The next step might be searching for qualified caregivers with the necessary compassion and skills to care for your loved one. The right care can greatly improve their quality of life and help to make both of your lives easier.

At Home Helpers, we hire experienced caregivers who undergo complete background checks, interviews

and references checks.

We provide client-specific training, and we are fully screened and insured to ensure you and your family are protected. We can be there to ensure your loved one is taking their medication, eating properly, and being supervised daily.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Op-Ed

Providing a Better Education To Students is No. 1 Priority

By State Rep. JULIE HARHART

The education of our youth remains a top priority of the Pennsylvania Legislature, which is why in the 2014-15 state budget we appropriated more money for schools than ever before. In fact, $10.5 billion in state funds is dedicated to K-12 education, and special education funding sees an increase of $20 million over last year. Also included is $200 million in funding for the Ready to Learn Block Grant Program, which gives school districts more flexibility to invest the money where they see the greatest need.

However, ensuring a topnotch education is still challenging with schools facing so many mandates that take attention away from a student’s basic education necessities.

School districts across the Commonwealth are subject to numerous requirements that can demand a significant amount of money and time, which could be better put to use focusing on how best to support student achievement.

In order to help address the many mandates placed upon schools, House Bill 135 was introduced and passed out of the House Education Committee this session. The bill would restore the Mandate Waiver Program for school districts, which was in place between 2000 and 2010. The proposed Mandate Waiver Program would provide school districts with the flexibility to waive some costly mandates and use taxpayer money more effectively to educate students. Furthermore, the program would allow school districts to waive outdated mandates which often function as impediments to meeting the needs of today’s students and implementing new initiatives.

Another initiative to reduce a burdensome mandate on schools is House Bill 1734, which would amend the Public School Code to limit the current interscholastic athletics disclosure requirements imposed on public schools. As of 2012, all school districts, vocationaltechnical schools and charter schools that provide interscholastic athletic opportunities for secondary school students have had to provide detailed reports on such things as the number of participants on each team, broken down by gender and ethnicity; the contributions of booster clubs, alumni and other non-school sources; the expenditures for travel, uniforms, equipment and facilities; and the number of coaches and athletic trainers for each team and their compensation. However, many school districts have noted this type of reporting is time con-

(R-Lehigh/Northampton)

suming and burdensome.

House Bill 1734 would limit the reporting requirements to only the immediately preceding year, eliminate the requirement to report on contributions from the booster clubs, alumni and others; and make some other minor changes that will help alleviate some of the burden of this reporting mandate. Most importantly, under this bill the final report from schools would be due Oct. 15, 2015. Our public schools have been asked to reduce spending and improve administrative efficiencies. I believe the General Assembly can help public schools in this regard by reducing reporting requirements that do not directly pertain to the education of children.

Another bill to address school mandates is House Bill 324, which would allow school dis-

tricts the flexibility to bid out either separate parts of a construction project (i.e. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc.) or get quotes for the whole project at once. This will enable school districts to find the most efficient and economically viable contract options when planning school construction projects. Currently, schools are only allowed to bid individual portions of a school construction contract.

School construction costs account for a large portion of many school district budgets. With growing student populations and new technologies demanding updated facilities, new construction is always underway within numerous school districts each year. In order to further help districts meet the high costs of construction without raising school property taxes, the state

has a program in place known as PlanCon, which provides opportunities for districts to be reimbursed by the state for certain agreed-to construction projects.

Unfortunately, the set of forms and procedures used to apply for Commonwealth reimbursement is long and burdensome, and the amount of funding set aside for reimbursement has not kept pace with the list of projects eligible for reimbursement.

To help address immediate needs for funding, the 2014-15 state budget includes an additional $10 million for PlanCon projects, increasing the total appropriation to $306.2 million, a 3.4 percent increase in funding over last year.

9 THE HOME NEWS October 2-8, 2014 In addition, in early June the state House, with my support, passed House Bill 2124 to modernize the PlanCon program and ensure it is financially sustainable. The bill includes streamlining the application process; encouraging the rehabilitation of old facilities; enabling faster reimbursement through a onetime lump sum reimbursement of up 75 percent of the reimbursement; and creating a publicly accessible website which provides information regarding school construction and reconstruction projects and charter lease reimbursements.

House Bill 2124 is currently awaiting action in the state Senate.

Created For God’s Pleasure

Have you ever wondered, “Why was I born?” The twenty-four elders in Revelation 4:10-11 state why God created mankind—“for thy pleasure they are and were created.” God’s purpose for your life is oriented to His will. He desires to have a close relationship with you!

You might ask, “If God created me for His pleasure and wants to have a close relationship with me, why do I feel that He is against me? God is not against you, but His holy and just nature requires separation from sin.

The fact is: “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). God says, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live” (Ezekiel 33:11). Peter proclaims, “The Lord is…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Paul spoke of “God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved” (1Timothy 2:3-4). Prophesying of God’s wonderful plan of salvation through Christ’s work on Calvary to save sinners, Isaiah said, “It pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin…and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand” (Isaiah 53:10). God’s purpose for your life will “prosper” or “go forward” when you believe in and accept Christ’s work on the cross.

You have been created for God’s pleasure! Will you now meekly trust in God’s mercy? God will do the rest! “The LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation” (Psalm 149:4). “The LORD taketh pleasure…in those that hope in his mercy” (Psalm 147:11). God will “fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power” (2 Thessalonians 1:11). “It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13).

News Sermonette Reverend Eric S. Ritz, Pastor Grace UMC

Pass the Salt

According to Dr. William Barclay salt in the Palestinian region was as valuable as gold and was held in high regard by all. Salt was one of the major commodities of commerce.

Military soldiers could receive their pay in salt. When we describe another person as being the ‘salt of the earth’ – we know it is a glowing tribute to their character and witness.

They bring zeal and energy to the table of life. They bring a special flavor to life that others cannot do.

Imagine the joy when Jesus told his disciples they were the salt of the earth. I think the disciples looked at each other and wondered, ‘Had Jesus over-estimated their value?’ They were nobodies in the eyes of the Roman Empire and the religious establishment. I believe Jesus was letting his disciples know they were persons of great value to him. Imagine the confidence and boldness this brought to this ragtime army of fishermen, tax collectors, and zealots who apprenticed under Jesus. They were elated over these powerful words of Jesus.

Jesus knew the disciples stood in awe and fear of the might and power of the Roman Empire. They saw themselves as a conquered people. We often have those same feelings and attitudes in the 21st century. How easy it is to resign ourselves to the position that we can’t impact the world or transform city hall.

Now that Jesus had given them great value as persons – which Rome never did – Jesus did not want them to be discouraged from making their witness. Not only had Jesus given them a special honor – but a special responsibility as well.

Salt has a powerful, hidden influence – not always seen by the human eye. Yes, just a pinch of salt can flavor a piece of meat, a slice of tomato, or an ear of corn in a very significant way. The disciples were now energized over these profound words of their Master and Teacher.

What would the disciples do with all the profound insights and inspiration that their Master was sharing with them? Would they sit around the boat house forever? Would they crowd back into the boats where he first found and called them? These words would produce waves larger than anything they had ever encountered on the Sea of Galilee.

As we approach the beginning of the fall season football games will abound. A football team can’t stay in the huddle forever. You call the play – you line up – and execute it. A ship is built to sail the seas – not to sit in the harbor. Jesus wanted the disciples to never underestimate the value of their work and witness. They were to circulate – not stagnate.

There are numerous stories in the Bible and in everyday life of how a small group was able to start a movement and usher in great change in our world. Think about those who started Habitat for Humanity or Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

The late evangelical statesman Dr. John Stott reminds us that we should never underestimate the power and influence that even a small minority can exert in a large nation. The quality of a nation or culture can be transformed when only 2% of its people can have a new vision. Yes, we are given a special value – a special calling – but a special responsibility as well. My wife and I take a walk every morning here in Pen Argyl. I found this quote on the sidewalk outside Pen Argyl high school. “Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For indeed, that’s all that ever has.” (Attributed to Margaret Mead). There it is in green and white.

Now all we have to do is to live it.

Boris Yeltsin was once asked what gave him the courage to stand firm and help insure the fall of communism in the former USSR. He gave credit to Lech Walesa, an electrician who helped bring democracy to Poland. Lech Walesa said he was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., of America.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said he was inspired by a seamstress by the name of Rosa Parks, who refused to change her seat on a bus in Alabama – and all the world stood up. She learned it from the pages of the Bible. Never underestimate the value of your work and witness. Your influence might reach places you never dreamed of.
