Konkrete Kids: Historical influence Or KKK reference By Danielle Tepper Special to the Home News
At face value, the moniker Konkrete Kids looks harmless enough. With a rich history in the cement industry, the Northampton Area School District has been churning out generations of proud Kids since the 1930s. But when an online petition started spreading across the internet last week, the term suddenly took on an ugly connotation and speculation began circulating about its possible hidden connection to the infamous Ku Klux Klan (or KKK). Terrance Jackson of Bath is a father of two Konkrete Kids himself, but he found himself unable to contain his objections any longer when he began a petition on Change.org, demanding that Governor Tom Corbett “Change the moniker/mascot of KonKreteKids.” Read it below: “This area is well known for its rich ties with the K.K.K. As time moves on, so does the change and shift in the present and in our future. An educational system should not have a mascot name formed from the K.K.K. nor should it be so obviously placed in the misspelling of concrete. This is a time where many nationalities share in their learning experience and receive graduate honors. I think that it is terrible that the pride of the graduating students as well as students attending are disgraced with such a thing. The name should be changed to something that every student can be proud to claim as their school.” At present, the petition has gained almost 3,000 supporters.
The comment section is an explosion of anti-racism support from Pennsylvanians across the state contrasted with indignant Lehigh Valley residents who say Jackson is just fishing for controversy. By slightly altering the name himself (Konkrete Kids vs. KonKreteKids), he’s simply fueling the fire, they say. Besides, using the ‘K’ is simply the German way of spelling it … right? School Board Debate The debate came to a head at last night’s Northampton Area School Board meeting, where administrators and residents alike came out to express their opinions. “I find the reference to the KKK offensive as a [school] superintendent and resident of our district due to the fact that I know our history,” Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik told The Morning Call. “The Konkrete Kids, the way it’s spelled, the way we spell it, is derived from the German heritage. That’s where it really kind of came from,” Kovalchik told FOX 29. “And it has nothing to do with anything about things we don’t believe in […] I don’t see it being changed.” Fortunately, Jackson “isn’t planning on a long, laborious fight,” according to MY65. “[He] says that even if the district refuses a change, he’ll live with that.”
Bath Council awards Bid for paving repairs

the one mill tax increase imposed last year. Keystone Park Members of the Bath 275th Anniversary Committee were present. Co-chairman Barry Fenstermaker said they will have money left over from paying for a kitchen in the new Keystone Park pavilion and the “Welcome to Bath” banners. He asked for approval of their buying Christmas greeting ornaments, and it was granted. Two plaques will be posted on the pavilion. One reads “Keystone Park pavilion destroyed in 2011 by Tropical Storm Lee. Rebuilt in 2013 by Bath Borough Council using disaster aid from PEMA and FEMA.” The second plaque
At their monthly meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 3, Bath Borough Council approved a bid of $200 a ton, up to a maximum of $53,000, to have asphalt paving repairs done to three streets. The contractor is Bracalente Construction, Inc. of Northampton. The bid had been for that per ton price, but at a larger total figure of $59,243, as four streets were planned. Deciding to stay within a budgeted amount, Council went with three streets – McIlhaney Ave. from Rt. 512 to Fountain St., Allen St. from Rt. 512 to Horner St., and Bridge St. from Rt. 248 to West St. Money for the project comes from

Allen Township’s Board of Supervisors have had requests from the local fire company and ambulance unit to have houses in the township numbered so they can find the location during emergencies. The fire chief said he’s not concerned with the color of the signs, but in a high density area home owners need to have some kind of reflective sign, as large as they wish, so long as the numbers are easily seen from the roadway. While the Uniform Construction Code calls for numbers four inches high, they should either be three or four inches. As the debate went on Thursday night, it was noted that on Howertown Rd.

the majority of House colleagues in moving House Bill 1437, the general appropriations portion of the 2013-14 state budget. The legislation contains no new taxes and spends $28.376 billion, a modest 2.3 percent increase over last year, which is within the rate of inflation. For the third consecutive year, Pennsylvania’s spending plan for the fiscal year ahead has been delivered on time using no new taxes. This budget forces state government to live within its means, just as you do with your own personal budget, while spending only what it has and not taking on new debt. The pending loss of $220 million due to federal government cuts to education, health and welfare programs makes avoiding the need to raise taxes especially important. With existing revenues, we supported essential services in the Commonwealth without placing an additional burden on the backs of the Pennsylvania taxpayer. A record $10 billion total state dollars is being invested in K-12 education as we continue to support our students. This is especially noteworthy, as we recover from the cuts to state funding imposed by the

ership. But teaching children interactive ways to care for their new-found friend can evoke a sense of pride and responsibility that is hard to find in other daily activities. Here are some tips to make these lessons fun and easy for kids. Teach animal needs: Pets need many of the same things humans need, like food, water and shelter. Break it down for kids to understand that in order to keep their new friend healthy, they need to help provide these needs, and that certain rules must be followed. Make cleaning a routine: A healthy, clean environment is a must for pets of all shapes and sizes. Divide responsibilities and enlist each child with different duties, such as making sure food and water bowl areas, cages and litter boxes are maintained and clean. For cats, using a product such as Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Cat Litter (www.ultralastlitter.com), is ideal because it is long-lasting and will help keep litter boxes smelling clean with its powerful odor destroyers. Create a fun feeding chart: Just like breakfast or after-school snacks, animals also need nourishment throughout the day. Develop a pet feeding schedule with your children so they understand the importance of specific times for feeding. A weekly chart on the wall is a fun way to keep track of the meals. Simply decorate a dry erase board and make sure you have plenty of animal stickers and brightly colored markers on hand. Give them attention: Pets require plenty of attention. From daily affection to regular exercise, setting aside time to play and interact with your pet should not be forgotten. Make a special pet spot: Just like their owners, pets love to have their own special area to relax. Let the kids pick out the accessories for their new friend – be it a hot pink puppy bed or coastal-inspired sea décor for the bottom of the fish bowl. If your friend is feline, remember they require a special lit-
ter area. Making sure this area is maintained with the proper products is an important way to keep your cat happy. Practice pet ownership: If your family doesn’t own a pet yet consider practicing pet ownership. Ask neighbors or family if you can pet-sit for a weekend. With your child in charge of taking care of the animal, they’ll see firsthand whether they are up to the task. You will also be able to gauge if it is a proper decision for you as a family. Following these tips can ensure pets are getting the best care possible, while also teaching kids key life skills. Your kids will enjoy proving they are responsible, dependable members of the family.

LeSean McCoy will be worn out if they keep giving him the ball. It’s a new coach and a new system, so we’ll see as the season rolls along how much it works. . . .

Nearly three million children in the United States are living with a parent who is battling cancer or is a survivor, estimates a U.S. National Health Interview Survey. With such staggering statistics, it’s important that parents know how to address their illness with children of all ages. As a psychiatrist at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) in Philadelphia, and mother of two, I am seeing more and more cancer patients who have young children. Through my role, I know firsthand how talking to one’s children about a cancer diagnosis is often very challenging. The most important piece of advice I try to impart on parents in this situation is to remember, above all, honesty is key when speaking with children. They can sense when something is wrong and hiding it will only make them think the worst. However, parents should still consider different approaches to talking to their children about the topic of illness and tailor their conversations depending on age and maturity level. To get you started, here are a couple age-specific things to keep in mind while having a conversation about cancer with your children. • Preschool: Keep it simple. Use age specific language like “boobooâ€? and “strong medicineâ€?. Understand that they will have questions and try to answer them as honestly as possible. Allow for play, humor and family time. • Elementary School: Be specific and direct about what they will see and hear. Try to explain in advance some of the side effects of treatment that they will see – i.e. hair loss from chemotherapy. Allow them to feel involved by giving them small tasks to help out. Help them keep as normal of a routine as possible. • High School: Be extremely open and honest because teens will know when you are hiding something. Try to avoid having them act as the caregiver for you or younger siblings, they still need to be teenagers. This group may have more intense reactions than other ages, so respect their feelings.

Grow UR Biz in 2013 – Honey Boo Boo
By CAROL RITTER
I had the pleasure of attending an educational lecture this week, sponsored by King Spry Herman Freund Faul law firm and Lehigh University, Dr. Yong Zhao, internationally known scholar, author and speaker presented Valuing Customization and Creativity in Education in an Era of Standardization. I thought I was going to an educational lecture, but, in fact, I was at a “Grow UR Biz” with the entrepreneurship spirit lecture. Dr. Zhao began by sharing with the audience the focus of public education on test scores. He cited that Asian countries have been outscoring the US in math and science for years. Interestingly, the countries with the higher Program for International Student Assessment or PISA scores lacked the confidence and creativity to express their entrepreneurial capabilities. “China wants to be like the

Comment On Sports By Pete Fritchie
FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷ Although some rule improvements made in college football over the winter are now in effect--especially head-hitting tackles, the game is still too rough and violent for a school sport. Of course it’s more than a school sport, with players being watched by agents seeking to get contracts for NFL teams.

Hecktown: “Butch” Silfies, 5 for 13; Al Gilbert, Bernie Yurko, Shawn Sigley and Jim Goldman, all 4 for 12, with one of Gilbert’s hits a homer. Defending champion St. Paul’s UCC of Northampton won 4-2, lost 4-3 and won 6-1 at Ebenezer Bible Fellowship in Bethlehem.

An example of the excessive violence still in the game was this season’s first TV contest between the University of South and North Carolina-the season’s opening game. South Carolina, coached by highly rated Steve Spurrier, came out hitting and tackling opponents as hard as possible, running as fast as they could in hitting opponents. And there were too many injuries. On some plays more than one player was left injured on the ground, with trainers and coaches coming out to see how serious the injury was. More still needs to be done to prevent serious injuries in this country’s popular college football.
Konkrete Kids lose 44-23 to Blue Eagles on winners’ turf Northampton High School’s Konkrete Kids are playing football this season at Nazareth High School’s Andy Leh Stadium, so perhaps it was natural that Nazareth would win on their own field. But it wasn’t easy as the Blue Eagles made their share of mistakes in the first half, as Northampton led 16-12. The second half was a different story, and Nazareth scored 28 unanswered before Julian Tabb scored a Kids touchdown with only 22 seconds left in the game. Nazareth toppled Northampton in the end, 44-23. Earlier in the

Council gets nine bids for Pump station generators By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Northampton Borough Council at its meeting on Thursday heard bids received from nine firms to provide generators for three pumping stations at 21st Street, Stewart Street, and Jeffrey Lane. Council will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder after the bids are reviewed by their engineer. The bids ranged from $109,895 to $166,300, and were received from these firms: Albarell Electric, Inc., Bethlehem; RG Electric, Sweet Valley, Pa.; Wind Gap Electric, Inc., Wind Gap; A. N. Lynch Co., Inc., Spring City, Pa.; West Side Hammer Electric, Bethlehem; Thomas L. Hoffman Co., Inc., Allentown; Pagoda Electrical, Inc., Reading; Barry L. Hoffman Co., Inc., Allentown; and Philips Bros. Electrical Contractors, Inc., Glenmoore, Pa. The generators will be paid from a grant that the borough will receive from FEMA. Pension Ordinance Atty. David Knerr answered Council’s questions about the new defined contribution pension plan, which will be adopted as an ordinance at the Sept. 19 meeting. Borough Manager Gene Zarayko said it takes the burden off the borough, which will be contributing 3%. Councilman Ed Pany called it a “step forward, getting into the 21st Century.”The ordinance will be advertised before adoption.
Fuels Company Two representatives of Renewable Fuel, Inc. in Montgomery County came to Council after first appearing before the Zoning Hearing Board and Planning Commission to establish their business in a portion of the Scot Lubricants building that was the former Ponderosa Fibres site. They showed a sample of their dry material, which will come in to them at a rate of 20 tractor-trailers a day. The loads will be analyzed before bring dumped on their floor. Business partners Steve Detwiler and Joseph Kotrosits said their firm would benefit local cement plants with kilns by cutting their coal costs by about 50%. They said the process has been around for 10 years in this country. Council had been disappointed with Ponderosa because of outside storage of materials that left odors, with owners of expensive homes only about 300 yards away. Renewable Fuels materials will be inside and noise levels will be negligible. Hoping that they will be good neighbors, Council approved a conditional agreement. TDF Management is the property owner. Other Matters • Michael Bernine noted a problem with lines that were painted for parking near the Liederkranz, 20 ft. apart. Three other residents also voiced complaints about the lines, and were told by Zarayko that they are the first people in town

They may apply for a grant from Monroe County casino money. He will have a resolution for the Sept. 19th meeting, estimating the cost at between $50,000 and $80,000. The borough has about $7,000 to match. The park would have a gazebo and walking trail besides the farmers market. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said he likes the way the uptown park is progressing. • Grace U.C.C.

It will be the task of the stakeholders, residents, and political leaders to ensure that these plans are carried out, the representative told the supervisors and the audience at last week’s meeting. Other Matters With David Tashner presiding, he and his fellow supervisors, Richard Gable and Louis Cacciola, approved the following: • Lease of a 2008 John Deere tractor, rather than purchasing one. • Purchase of a dump body for one of the township’s dump trucks, at a cost of $17,950. • Replacing a utility body with a salt spreader for a pickup truck at a cost of $5,900. This will save time when winter’s snows arrive, and all trucks are outfitted with salt spreaders. It was reported that a chip and tar project has been completed on North and South Penn-Dixie Road.

News Sermonette
By Ernest G. Siegfried, Pastor Christ Church UCC Little Moore
Harvest Time Many folks find the months of September and October their favorite time of the year and that’s easy to understand. Even as i prepare this article, God has given us a most beautiful day. The hot, humid air has been replaced by cooler temperatures and a bright blue sky. Fall is on its way. It’s this time of year that i think about harvest time; that time when farmers are bringing in the crops they’ve planted and cared for all spring and summer. Having worked on a farm for quite a few years, i appreciate the dedication and commitment needed to bring the farmer to a boutiful harvest. I remember the migrant workers arriving to pick potatoes. It was just too much work and too little time for the farmers. They needed extra hands to complete the work. Jesus must have felt like a farmer whose fields are ready for harvest, but who lacks the necessary helpers to do the work. “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few”, Jesus said. The assistance of the twelve disciples was simply not enough to meet the workload. Jesus’ fame had spread throughout the land and while many had accepted him, there were still many others who needed additional teaching and witnessing before they would make the decision to follow and serve Christ. And so, he sent out seventy additional disciples to preach and heal in his name. Today, more than 2000 years later, Christ still calls us to follow and serve Him. His call is just as powerful and just as urgent as it was for the disciples many years ago. But, how do we respond, or don’t we respond at all? Remember that Christ has warned us that we need to serve him if we desire eternal life. In provers, we read, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths”. Our assurance is that God knows what He is doing; His plan is perfect; He can and will use us in ways that we never imagined possible. It’s harvest time; will you be a worker for Christ?

NFU Board Passes Resolution on Farm Bill
The National Farmers Union (NFU) Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution today indicating the obligation of Congress to provide certainty for our nation’s family farmers, ranchers and consumers by passing a five-year farm bill and by continuing to support Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL) and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). “Through this resolution, the NFU Board has once again given a clear message to Congress – it is time to complete the 2013 Farm Bill,” said Johnson. “Family farmers and ranchers will not settle for an extension of the current law, we have too much at stake.

Bath Council Continued from page 7
an Kathryn Roberts also noted that it is difficult to have a path with so many intersections. While Councilman John Kearns likes the idea of a trail, he said the main focus now should be on road repairs. Grants Questioned When an item on the agenda was for a round six Main Street Lehigh Valley grant that would be used for flagpoles, Councilman Mike Reph questioned why grants were applied for before a project such as the flagpoles was not discussed. He said that was “Putting the cart before the horse.” Councilman Roberts said that the borough manager has to make many decisions and should be allowed to use his discretion, with President Robert Fields adding that Petrucci has the latitude to apply for grants whenever they are available. Council voted 4-1 to accept the grant if it is approved. Council discussed where to put the flagpole, and a poll of the audience said Monocacy Creek Park. Council, however, will have the Parks & Recreation Committee make its recommendation. Petruccci said it would fly the U.S., Commonwealth of Pa., and borough flags on the pole. Other Matters • An ordinance was okayed regulating right turns by vehicle weight classification at the north end of Union St. as it intersects with W. Main Street. • Petrucci was authorized to send letters to the Bath Vol.
Firefighters & Ambulance Corps, Bath Lions Midget Football Club, American Legion and Bath-East Allen Youth Club T to use park facilities after dusk for emergency management drills and sporting activities such as games and practice by teams. An ordinance has a dawn to dusk ruling, but dusk is early in the fall. • A resolution endorsed Pennsylvania’s statewide Historic Preservation Plan for 2012-2017. Bath is one of four municipalities in the Lehigh Valley recognized, the others being Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton. • Jim Pasquariello, president of the Bath Fire Hall, thanked Council for its help with the scoreboard project for the football teams. He also said the club has a $500 donation to the Bath Firefighters. • Catherine Zakos thanked Council for picnic tables they could use at the Main St. park for a class reunion, although disappointed the Keystone Park pavilion wasn’t ready yet. • There was a suggestion that shouldn’t have been a $10 permit fee for people to participate in the boroughwide yard sale this past Saturday. Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman said it helped cover expenses. • An assemblage permit was okayed for a car and cycle show planned by Cornerstone Pub at Broad & Penn Sts. on Saturday, Sept. 14, noon to 7 p.m. It is a benefit for Lehigh Valley Military Affairs Council to help local active duty and retired military veterans. • The Green St. sidewalk project is finished, and the S. Chestnut St. sidewalks will be completed in the fall, following PennDOT regulations for

A.D.A. compliance. • Mrs. Roberts reported how she had a tractor-trailer back off W. Northampton St. and go on to Main St. because of weight limits on the bridge. The street is also deteriorated because of heavy traffic. • Fields reported that CRPD was told that Bath cannot afford a large increase in their 2014 police budget. The meeting ended with an observance by Kearns that many good things have been happening to improve Bath in recent years.
