Local watershed group educating Public on having quality water

By BUD COLE

A new watershed association was formed on February 4, 2009. The founding members of the Bertsch – Hokendauqua - Catasauqua Watershed Association were drawn together by mutual concern for quality water within their local watershed region. Its creation was the final step in placing all of Northampton County’s major watersheds under the volunteer protection and leadership of local citizens.

The BHCWA is committed to protecting and improving the 30 square mile watershed drained by the Bertsch, Hokendauqua and Catasauqua Creeks and their tributaries.

Their mission is to promote stewardship within the watershed while protecting, enhancing and restoring the watershed area. The watershed spans the area of the Lehigh River between Lehigh Gap

and the Borough of Catasauqua as well as to the source of each stream. The association’s main goal is to ensure clean, safe drinking water for current and future generations.

BHCWA has been very active since its 2009 founding. In addition to writing their mission statement, by-laws and following the procedures for establishment as a non-profit organization, they have sponsored numerous public education events and programs.

An open house was held in June 2009 in the Allen Township Municipal Building. It included a PowerPoint program introducing the organization and the watershed region to the public. A Lehigh River float trip was held on July 2009. About 25 canoeists and kayakers were treated to a free guided tour along the Lehigh River between Walnutport and Laury’s Station.

Two highlights were stops

at the remains of the Lehigh Canal’s Bertsch Creek Aquaduct and what is left of the Treichlers Dam. A similar second paddle trip with 36 participants was held in August 2010.

A Bat Chat, featuring naturalists from the Carbon County Environmental Education Center, was held in October 2009. Three hawk banding hikes were also held in late October and early November 2009. Participants were able to see hawks up close and personal. The hawks were captured, measured, banded and released.

The BHCWA, in cooperation with the Mary Immaculate Center, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and the Lehigh Township Historical Society conducted a winter walk in February 2010. A similar fall walk in partnership with the Lehigh Valley Hiking Club was held in October on the same property located in Allen and Lehigh Townships, Northampton County. A total of 42 participants ranging in age from 2 to 72 participated in the two hikes.

These hikes, consisting of Continued on page 9

Despite the sub-freezing temperatures and deep snow outside, Recreation Commission Chairman Chuck Frantz warmed up the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors at their meeting on Thursday night.

He reported on spring and summer activities involved with sports in the township now and in the months ahead.

• Spring sport sign-ups will continue until the first week of March for baseball, T-ball, and boys and girls soccer, ages 5 to 12.

• Summerfest is scheduled for Saturday, June 18 when it won’t be as hot as it was in 2010. The rain date is Sunday, June 19. A firemen’s competition will be one highlight.

Frantz said there will be a Civil War re-enactment with cannons that day. The committee is working on entertainment by an East Allen group. Also planned for Summerfest will

be free blood pressure tests and free wster given by the East Allen Twsp. Ambulance Corps, and the MedEvac helicopter will be there for viewing by the public.

• East Allen Night will be held at the Lehigh Valley IronPigs baseball game at CocaCola Park on Saturday, July 30, with 200 tickets reserved.

The Frantz report also noted a Subway hoagie sale.

The only discouraging part of the report was vandalism in one section of Bicentennial Park, where turf was ripped up by a truck. Talks have been held with Tu-Way Communications on possible camera coverage to check vandalism.

Frantz introduced Ross Makary of Weaversville, who was then approved to serve on the recreation board. He has had experience with festivals.

Lehigh Twsp. Supervisors Meeting mostly athletic

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Although the meeting was relatively short, discussions by the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors on Jan. 25 touched on athletic subjects.

The first involved baseball dugouts at the Danielsville field. Work will be done by the public works crew of Frank Zamadics, along with volunteers. Township engineer Phillip Malitsch will review the drawings. Previous work on dugouts cost about $5,000.

Resurfacing of the tennis courts is also in the planning.

Supervisor Keith Hantz discussed lease arrangements for the Berlinsville park food stand. He said it costs about $1,200 a year to operate it from April to November. The stand may be leased to the Lehigh Township Athletic Association, and organizations using the field would have the opportunity to use the stand through the LTAA. Hantz will work out more details on how this should be handled.

In many months, the Berlinsville stand has been a subject of controversy and differences of opinion at times. On Tuesday, one resident said he’s sick and tired of the hot

dog stand, and feels that discussions of more importance should be salt for the roads.

He said, “Turn it over to the recreation board and let them do their job.”

Township Manager Alice Rehrig noted that the Northampton County Tax Committee will have jurisdiction over earned income tax collections in the county starting on January 1, 2012.

Other Matters • A member of the Lehigh Township Authority noted that a million dollars is owed.

They are troubled by $100,000 in outstanding fees not paid, and the authority ‘s only alternative is to take a lien on the properties. They are awaiting an auditor’s report from 2010.

Solicitor David Backenstoe will write a letter.

• A resident complimented the township planning commission on doing a good job, and suggested the supervisors back them up on the solar panel issue, in which they called it a commercial rather than an accessory use at Lehigh Elementary School. It was due to go before the zoning hearing board on Feb. 3 (tonight).

• Another resident noted Continued on page 9

Birth Rate News Lowering birth rates in many countries are causing concern.

The latest forecast is that by mid-century Europe’s population will actually have declined. Advanced nations where birth control is standard have lower birth rates than less advanced nations.

The United States population will not decline, according to forecasts, mainly because of the high birth rate of African Americans (many without fathers) and the influx of Latinos along the southern border--with higher than average U.S. birth rates.

A major world change will see India, where the birth rate is high, surpass China as the world’s most populous country. One surprise is the forecast for mother country England, where the population is forecast to rise about 10 percent in the next fifteen years. By that time the populations in Russia, Germany and Japan are expected to have declined. The U.S. birth rate is expected to add 13% population growth over the next fifteen years, helping the economy.

Trump & China Donald Trump, well-known millionaire, recently warned friendly exchanges are not the answer to our China problem.

The sometimes rumored possible 2012 presidential candidate (no chance of nomination or election), Trump is urging a tougher policy toward China.

He points out China continues to keep its currency lower in value than it is, to sell goods all over the world at lower prices than competing nations.This has enabled China to earn huge dollar trading surpluses, much of which has been invested in U.S. bonds.

On President Hu Jintao’s recent visit to Washington, President Obama and others gave the Chinese president a lavish reception and engaged in lengthy talks on foreign and economic policy. As far as is known, China’s president offered no move to reality for the Chinese currency.

Trump, who has businesses in China, is sounding a realistic note, saying it’s time we take measures to equalize economic relations with the world’s second largest economy and largest population.

Opinion The New-Old Barack Obama

By Mark W. Hendrickson The 2012 presidential campaign has begun. Not being a political junkie, it gives me no pleasure to report this phenomenon. And no further proof of this assertion is needed than Barack Obama’s tactical shift.

You may recall, during the first two years of his presidency, Obama’s statements that he didn’t care if he turned out to be a one-term president.

So dedicated was he to his progressive agenda, so desirous was he of ushering in an era of permanent big government, that he refused to compromise with Republicans, conservatives, Tea Party activists and other assorted atavistic types. He would build a progressive utopia or get voted out of office trying.

My, how a mid-term electoral “shellacking” changes things. Since November, Obama has seemed to be moving toward the political center. There can be only one possible explanation for this apparent transformation: The man wants to be re-elected, and will do what he has to do to achieve his goal.

Even before the New Year dawned, President Obama swallowed his egalitarian pride and accepted a twoyear extension of the Bush tax cuts. This was an outstanding deal for Obama, enhancing his plausibility as a moderate while receiving Republican support for hundreds of billions of dollars in spending that benefit Democratic Party special interests.

In the first week of January, Obama replaced, as chief of staff, the partisan pit-bull, Rahm Emmanuel, with the more moderate (at least, in tone) Bill Daley.

In his State of the Union address, Obama played to the middle, paying lip service to free enterprise while making the case that it’s up to government to ensure future prosperity. His call for a fiveyear freeze on “discretionary spending” was brilliant.

While wooing independents and moderates with his talk of fiscal restraint, he must have delighted his leftist allies with his proposal to make the Pentagon bear the lion’s share of spending cuts. (A pre-speech release went so far as to describe defense spending as “nonsecurity” spending, but somebody wisely deleted that gaffe from the final version).

According to Obama’s own calculations, this freeze will realize savings of $400 billion over the next decade.

That sounds like a lot, but it amounts to less than one percent of planned spending.

News Sermonette The Rev. Christina Keller

Pastor, Covenant United Methodist Church

Bloom Where You Are Planted

The prophet Jeremiah sent a letter to the people of Judah who were taken into exile in Babylon in 597 B.C. Jeremiah writes to the exiles, telling them to, “Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce.” The Israelites in exile are to settle down for the duration of their stay. They are to make Babylon their home. Jeremiah is trying to counter the influence of false prophets, who are telling the people that the exile will last only two years. He’s trying to help the exiles face reality.

That reality is that the Lord plans to leave them in Babylonia for decades.

The Babylonians gave the Judean exiles considerable freedom to do the things Jeremiah suggests. The Judean elders continued to exert leadership, as did their prophets. They no doubt had tasks to perform for the state but otherwise could lead a reasonably normal life. In fact, life in Babylon will prove so comfortable that some of the exiles will decide to remain in Babylon when presented with the option of returning to Jerusalem.

When Jeremiah uses the words “build” and “plant” you need to understand that these are words central to his calling. The Lord has appointed Jeremiah “to pluck up and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” The plucking up and pulling down, the destroying and overthrowing, have been accomplished. Now it is time to begin the building and planting.

And this building and planting is to be done as an expression of faith. The people need to understand that the Lord will redeem them when the time is right. Even though they are in a foreign land, they can dedicate their houses to the Lord and the first fruits of their crops.

As an ordained elder in the United Methodist church, I am called to travel to whatever land the Bishop feels I am needed.

I leave behind family and friends and go to a new place. In that new place I am called to seek the welfare of the city where God has sent me into exile. I was told by our last bishop to “Bloom where you are planted,” and that is what I have tried to do. This is my home now.

In the world we live in today many people are forced to leave their homes and travel to new lands for their work. Businesses go belly up. Companies downsize their staff. Change is all around us. It comes in many forms. How we deal with it is what matters.

If we take some advice from Jeremiah we will learn that rather than resisting, resenting, or rejecting our changed circumstances, we should put down roots and become productive. We may miss the good old days, but whining and pining about it will not make it reappear.

Jeremiah challenges the Jews in captivity, and us in this present age, to embrace the place where God has you and find ways to be faithful in our living, so that others might inquire about our inspiration, our resolve, and our trust, and thereby be drawn into relationship with our God. Bloom where you are planted.

Here we go again. Below freezing weather, along with freezing rain, sleet, snow and ice has hit us one more time, and to make it worse, it got even worse on Groundhog Day! If we ever looked forward to spring and summer, this is it! Snow keeps piling up along the curbs and sidewalks in every town, and cars are getting further out to traffic. Reckon the towns can’t haul it all away, so we just hafta watch out so we don’t hit any of the parked cars.

One thing about all this snow, skiers are having about the best season ever. Folks running the slopes didn’t hafta work hard on making snow this year.

It’s much worse than on snow, you just can’t stop on a dime. . . . There’s still a big crowd that gets to these dinners and talk and tell jokes in Pennsylvania Dutch, but there’s getting to be less and less every year as people don’t speak the dialect any more. It’s kind of a shame, ‘cause it’s part of the tradition of this area, but that’s what time does. Things change. . . . Pro Bowl on Sunday wasn’t

very exciting. Never saw so many interceptions as in that game. But I reckon to the players, they weren’t worried, just having a great time enjoying Hawaii. Let’s hope there’s more action this Super Bowl Sunday. There’s always lots of hype before that game, too, but we can root for Pittsburgh, and wave a yellow towel if you have one. . . . I’ve been following Chuck Debilio from over at Nazareth High School. It’s great to have all the athletic talent he has – in football, basketball and baseball. I hear he’s heading to Princeton after graduation.

Best of luck, young man! . . . . Mike Schneider says there are four of Northampton’s seniors who are signing letters for sports at college, too. Great to hear that, and that they’re all tops in studies, too. We can be proud of our younger generation . . . .

Reversing his earlier opposition to bi-national trade agreements, Obama has begun to push for ratification of long-pending trade deals with Panama, Colombia, and South Korea. These deals make economic and political sense. They should help contribute to economic growth— always a plus for a president seeking re-election—and will enable Obama to portray himself as more pro-business.

If gas prices rise to $4 per gallon, don’t be surprised if Obama reverses his administration’s two-year-old policy of stifling domestic oil production. His team will, of course, spin this as a heroic Obama riding to the rescue, when, in fact, the prudent policy would have been to

THE HOME NEWS unleash domestic producers from day one of his term.

Obama’s strategy is masterfully conceived. It is a classic “two steps forward, one step back” tactic for advancing his larger progressive goal of increasing the federal government’s power over the distribution of wealth in our society.

Some of his leftist supporters, less mature and less canny than the president, have already started to howl in protest of his perceived move to the center. This can only help Obama to appear more centrist, and disguise the fact that his compromises are relatively minor concessions.

If Obama were to continue trying to ram through his biggovernment agenda after the mid-term election, he would have sealed his fate as a oneterm president and triggered a conservative backlash. Instead, he is positioning himself to win a second term and so solidify his progressive agenda.

Obama, to his credit, has

learned patience. He wants four more years to empower unelected bureaucrats to extend their stranglehold on the economy, four more years to appoint federal judges and Supreme Court justices who share his disdain for the Constitution’s restraints on executive power, four more years to veto any legislative attempts to reverse the trend toward bigger government.

Democrats should take heart and Republicans had better watch out. This man means business, and he is already doing what he does best: campaigning. The “new Obama” that some people see is really just the old Obama— a clever, driven politician committed to a permanent expansion of government power.

WOMEN/SOCIAL CACLV director Calls President Obama cuts a “Surreal moment”

The executive director of the Community Action Committee of the Lehigh Valley, Alan L. Jennings, called news that President Barack Obama would propose cuts in the agency that operates programs that ease the pain of recession, create jobs and strengthen neighborhoods “a surreal moment in which my dumbfoundedness was coupled with a rare desire to hang up my cleats after 30 years of idealistically grinding out an organization that believed in our ability as a society to make a difference in the lives of those for whom the doors to economic opportunity are jammed.”

In talking about the need to cut federal spending, the President said, “I’ve proposed cuts to things I care deeply about, like community action programs.” The core funding for these programs is the Community Services Block Grant, an obvious federal grant that funds more than 1,000 community action agencies like CACLV nationwide.

It costs American taxpayers less than $900 million per year.

The program would have to be eliminated altogether, according to Jennings, to have even the slightest effect on the federal deficit. Doing so would kill the agency that created and administers the Second Harvest Food Bank, the Sixth Street Shelter, Safe Harbor Easton, neighborhood-based community development programs in each of the three cities, weatherize thousands of homes, help people save money, get their tax refunds, buy their first home, and get off of welfare.

It would kill the agency that organized the Green Future Fund, fought predatory lending long before anyone had any idea that such lending was destroying neighborhoods and eventually would bring down the international economy, works with banks to

Catholic Schools Week At Sacred Heart, Bath Catholic Schools Week has been a busy one for students and staff at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish School in Bath.

It started last Friday, Jan. 28 with science projects on display in the auditorium. A quarter war began that day and was held all week to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the youth program at the school.

On Sunday, Jan. 30 after Mass was hosted by Student Council, there was an open house for visitors, and of course, something to eat, a hot dog lunch sponsored by the National Junior Honor Society and Student Council.

Monday, Jan. 31 was Student Appreciation Day; free dress down casual day and wearing of SHS clothes. There was a Ronald McDonald Assembly in the afternoon, and the students enjoyed a skating party in the evening at Skate-Away in Bethlehem.

Tuesday and Wednesday activities subject to weather conditions.

Tuesday, Feb. 1 had the students from 5th thru 8th

grades donning their best spelling hats as they participated in the Scripps Spelling Bee in the morning. In the afternoon, the finals were held in a ping-pong tournament as they paddled their best across the board.

Wednesday, Feb. 2 was a lively time, both in wearing crazy ties and headbands, and Jumping Rope for Heart in grades 2, 4, 7 and 8.

The National Junior Honor Society held an induction ceremony for students this afternoon, with a reception following for the inductees and their families. Jump Rope for Heart continued today for kindergarten, and grades 1, 3, 5 and 6.

Staff Appreciation Day on Friday will conclude the week’s events, with a luncheon provided the staff by the HSA. A talent show tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. and again at 7 p.m. will be a highlight for the students . . . and a cake decorating contest should look good – maybe some tasting after admiring all the decorations?

extend credit to low-income communities, convinced the counties to create housing trust funds for affordable housing and helped establish RenewLV, the leading smart growth advocacy coalition in Pennsylvania.

Jennings, who teaches a class at Lehigh University on Tuesday evenings and had to read the text of the speech on-line, said, “Much of the President’s agenda, as articulated in his State of the Union address, would be threatened in the Lehigh Valley if CACLV was shut down. CACLV has led the effort to mitigate foreclosures, CACLV has helped scores of businesses get started. We have lent nearly $2 million to small businesses, creating and/or retaining hundreds of jobs. We have created innovative lending initiatives like the peer review program administered by the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation. We weatherize homes, creating the green jobs the President embraces.”

Jennings also pointed out that the agency is extremely cost-effective, spending an unprecedented 7.6% of its

budget on administration.

CACLV’s Community Services Block Grant is less than $900,000, but leverages over $11 million from other sources, a ratio of more than 10 to 1. Approximately half of that amount comes from private sources.

The CACLV director said his thoughts about giving up lasted all of about two seconds. Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush all attempted to eliminate CSBG, but a bi-partisan Congress rejected the proposal. U.S. Congressman Charlie Dent, in whose district CACLV provides services, has played a leadership role in protecting its funding from previously proposed cuts. And U.S. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, who chairs the Appropriations sub-committee that funds Community Action, has long been a champion of the program.

“It just saddens me that Barack Obama would abandon the cause of economic justice by targeting for spending cuts the movement led by the late Sargent Shriver who died this past week,” Jennings concluded.

Giving yourself the Gift of Yoga Getting Started (part 1 of 4)

By Juanita Carra-Budzek RN, RYT

Now that we are fully into the New Year, how are your resolutions for 2011? Are you living a healthier life? How many of you purchased or received a gift of exercise equipment, a gym membership, a Yoga book, DVD or CD, only to never get started, or get started and not continue? It’s not an unusual occurrence if this has happened to you. Too often our schedules will not permit us to follow through with well-intended goals. The good news is you can turn the situation around.

First: Let’s examine the situation a little more closely and see what happened.

1. Have you started a program before and did not continue, losing motivation?

2. Did you originally think it would be easier to exercise at home, because you could do it any time, or, did you choose it because you felt too self-conscious to join a group?

3. Were the instructions too

Club Meeting

The GFWC PA Nazareth Woman’s Club will meet on Tuesday, February 8 at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Nazareth. Presiding at the meeting will be Elenore O’Donnell, club president. Following the business meeting members will enjoy an evening of fun and games.

Hostesses for the meeting are Barbara Albani, chairman, Martha Galloway, Jo Ann Kelly and Hildegard Kurt.

An Arts and Crafts contest for club members will be held on Saturday, February 12 at the home of Sybil Marsh, Arts Chairman. First place winners will go on to further judging on the county level on March 12.

A Blue Bears and Operation Smile workshop to complete items for these two projects will be held at the home of Marian Smith on Thursday, February 10.

Items to be completed are Blue Bears, hospital gowns and cloth dolls.

During the months of Feb-

complicated to follow?

4. Was the chosen program too time consuming?

5. Did too much outside interference keep you from getting to it?

6. Not sure where to start?

Second: There are several things you can do to get started and stay on track?

1. First and foremost, if you don’t like what you’re doing, you won’t do it. If you like walking, than walk. If you like dancing, than dance. If you like aerobics than do aerobics. If you like Yoga or think you will like Yoga then try it. You will find out very fast what you like or don’t like once you’ve done it several times.

2. If you don’t like to exercise alone, find a like-minded friend or family member and make it an opportunity to have quality time together, or join a group.

3. Is your form of exercise going to energize or relax

you? This is an important consideration. You don’t want to get relaxed when you wake up and have a full day ahead of you and you don’t want to energize when you need to go to sleep.

4. If you choose to do any fitness program and have a book, DVD or CD, it’s not enough. Find a professional and invest in several private sessions. They can maximize your efforts and address your personal needs.

Third: If you’ve chosen to practice Yoga solo for your healthy commitment, find a teacher and get started. You’ll have feedback and individual attention. You only need a few private sessions to start you on your way. Good Luck and Good Health.

ruary and March members will be donating personal care items, coloring books, crayons and small stuffed animals to be given to children facing corrective facial surgery by Operation Smile doctors around the world and in the United States.

IRS Tax Tip Medical and Dental Expenses If you itemize your deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A, you may be able to deduct expenses you paid in 2010 for medical care – including dental – for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents. Here are six things the IRS wants you to know about medical

THE HOME NEWS and dental expenses and other benefits.

You may deduct only the amount by which your total medical care expenses for the year exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. You do this calculation on Form 1040, Schedule A in computing the amount deductible.

You can only include the medical expenses you paid during the year. Your total medical expenses for the year must be reduced by any reimbursement. It makes no difference if you receive the reimbursement or if it is paid directly to the doctor or hospital.

You may include qualified medical expenses you pay for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents, including a person you claim as a dependent under a multiple support agreement. If either parent claims a child as a dependent under the rules for divorced or separated parents, each parent may deduct the medical expenses he or she actually pays for the child. You can also deduct medical expenses you paid for someone who would have qualified as your dependent except that the person didn't meet the gross income or joint return test.

A deduction is allowed only for expenses primarily paid for the prevention or alleviation of a physical or mental defect or illness. Medical care expenses include payments for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or treatment affecting any structure or function of the body. The cost of drugs is deductible only for drugs that require a prescription except for insulin.

You may deduct transportation costs primarily for and

essential to medical care that qualify as medical expenses.

The actual fare for a taxi, bus, train, or ambulance may be deducted. If you use your car for medical transportation, you can deduct actual outof-pocket expenses such as gas and oil, or you can deduct the standard mileage rate for medical expenses. With either method you may include tolls and parking fees.

Distributions from Health Savings Accounts and withdrawals from Flexible Spending Arrangements may be tax free if you pay qualified medical expenses.

For additional information on medical deductions and benefits, see Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses or Publication 969, Health Savings Accounts and Other Tax-Favored Health Plans, available at http://www.irs. gov or by calling 800-TAXFORM (800-829-3676).

ICE AND EASY!

During this bitter cold snap that we have been experiencing, icing up of your car can be a problem. To prevent car doors from freezing shut, coat the black rubber gasket around the frame of the door with cooking spray. The vegetable oil simultaneously repels water and keeps the gaskets supple and clean. To make cleaning ice off your windshield easier, rub salt on the layer of ice, wait a few minutes, and then scrape. During the winter keep a box or canister of salt in your car. At Miller Supply Ace Hardware, you’ll find warm smiles and expert advise to keep you safe and sound this winter!

Mr. Lloyd Lutz was reared on the family farm in Kempton, graduating from Kutztown High School in 1980, where he was on the school baseball and cross-country teams. Lloyd graduated with a degree in accounting from Bloomsburg College in 1984.

He said “I was always numbers oriented and in 1985, I was a happy young man, A Kempton farm boy hired as a cost accountant by National Gypsum (now Lehigh Heidelberg) for the most money I ever saw $17,000. My first invoice was quite a jolt, when I saw a $200,000 electric bill for the plant.”

“In my tenure here at Evansville, I have seen the ownership of the plant change on four different occasions. As a new employee, I was given valuable advice from old timers Jack Kasopsky, John Wolf, Barnes S. Kibbee and controller Mike Reed.”

A cost accountant determines the cost of labor, material, maintenance, taxes and factors comprising the plants budget, a mass of numbers where accuracy is of paramount importance.

Mr. Lutz’s career is numbers as he progressed to V.P. and chief financial officer, accounting administrative manager, plant controller and to his present position as senior plant accountant. He said, “ I work closely in the accounting department with Sue Hess and Mike Jablonski both who have been employed here for over 20 years and are extremely efficient in their positions.”

Mr. Lutz has seen plant accounting change from big green bar papers to streamlined computer soft ware.

NAZARETH BORO – LOWER NAZARETH TP. – UPPER NAZARETH TP. – BUSHKILL TP.

300 homes in planning At Lower Nazareth Twsp.

Only three members of the Lower Nazareth Board of Supervisors were at the Jan. 26 meeting, but all three voted to approve plans for a more than 300 home development near Newburg Road.

The development, known as Trio Farms, will include 180 townhouses and 140 singlefamily dwellings, all to be

constructed by the Ashley Development Corporation.

A plan first introduced in 2005 called for 440 homes in an age-restricted community of owners over 55 years old.

Now the number is less, but they will be for any age.

The township agreed to dedicate the development roads, and in exchange, Ash-

Solar array now may go To Upper Nazareth Twsp.

Some residents of Lower Nazareth Township may now be happy, since a change in plans has come about for a proposed array of 1,000 solar panels. No longer are plans for the panels to be located in a three-acre field adjacent to the Lower Nazareth Elementary School.

The Nazareth Area School Board voted on Monday, Jan. 24 to end the litigation with the Lower Nazareth Board of Supervisors and move the energy field to Upper Nazareth Township – the roof of the Nazareth Area Middle School.

The panels will be smaller

and will be installed by Kenyon Energy.

The Lower Nazareth zoning officer originally approved the larger array at the local school, but neighbors protested, and the Board of Supervisors and zoning hearing board reversed the earlier decision. The school board and Kenyon Energy then said it would take the issue to court.

That has now been dropped.

The school district will get a break on their electric rates through the solar system.

Ground has been broken for a similar array at the intermediate school in Upper Nazareth.

ley Development will repave and make improvements to Christian Spring Road.

Approving the Bethlehem developer’s plans last Wednesday were chairman Eric Nagle, and members Robert Kucsan and Martin Boucher. Absent were Ricky Johnson and James Pennington.

Game Commission Offers ‘Seedlings For Schools’ Program Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe announced the agency again will be helping Commonwealth school students learn about the vital role of trees in the environment through its “Seedlings for Schools” program, in which students will be able to plant a variety of tree seedlings at home, on school grounds or in his or her community.

“There is no charge to schools participating in this project, as the seedlings are provided by the Game Commission’s Howard Nursery,” Roe said. “The cost of shipping seedlings is covered through the generous donations of Waste Management, Mealey’s Furniture, Wildlife for Everyone Foundation and USFWS-Partners for Wildlife.”

The program provides two levels of involvement based on the grade level, and the agency has been working with the state Department of Education to get the word out about the availability of seed-

THE HOME NEWS lings.

“Seedlings for Your Class” is primarily for elementary students. As part of this program, the Game Commission provides a classroom or one grade level with enough seedlings for each student to take a seedling home to plant.

Seedling choices are silky dogwood or white pine, and a teacher’s guide comes with the seedlings. Orders will be accepted Jan. 24-April 1.

“Seedlings to Develop Habitats” is primarily for middle and high school students.

As part of this program, the Game Commission provides a variety of seedlings to students interested in planting seedlings on school or community grounds to improve habitat, plant along a stream, develop a tree nursery, or create an environmental area.

Orders will be accepted Feb. 28-April 1.

“Seedlings come in bundles of 25, and will be shipped directly to schools by UPS during the weeks of April 18 and 25, dependent on order receipt and weather,” said Cliff Guindon, superintendent of the Game Commission’s Howard Nursery.

“Once seedlings arrive, it is important to keep them moist. Hand out seedlings with roots in plastic bags with moist shredded newspaper or plant them in juice/milk cartons for transplanting at home. ‘How to plant’ information and educational materials will be provided with seedlings.”

This year, all orders must be submitted online.

For more information, including how schools can order seedlings, visit the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc. state.pa.us) and click on the “Seedlings for Schools” icon in the center of the homep-

Bluebird Nest Boxes Help Pennsylvanians Connect With Wildlife If you are interested in connecting with wildlife in your own backyard, beginning Monday, Jan. 24, the Pennsylvania Game Commission will be selling bluebird nesting boxes at its Harrisburg headquarters at 2001 Elmerton Avenue. The boxes sell for $7, and customers can select from assembled boxes or kits that can be assembled as a wood-working project.

“Bluebirds are early nesters, so now is the time put up new nest boxes, as well as to clean and repair existing boxes,” said Dan Brauning, Game Commission Wildlife Diversity Division chief. “These bluebird boxes enable Pennsylvanians to help wildlife in a natural way.

“Also, building nesting boxes is a great project for individuals, families or civic organizations interested in connecting with wildlife. These box designs are proven to attract bluebirds and other native species, such as tree swallows and house wrens.”

Sales will continue while supplies last, and office hours are Monday-Friday from 7:45 a.m. until 4 p.m. The Game Commission’s headquarters is at 2001 Elmerton Ave., just off the Progress Avenue exit of Interstate 81 in Harrisburg.

To order by phone, call the Game Commission’s Harrisburg office at 1-888-8883459. If ordering by phone, shipping and handling costs will apply depending on how many boxes are ordered.

The Authority has applied for grant funding, and is currently applying for loan funding through various State Agencies. The project title is “Water Supply and Distribution System Rehabilitation – 2011” The project locations include East Allen Gardens, Shady Lane, Country Squire and Wilmar Manor. Pipe replacement work would include installation of new pipe within street areas and easements, and the installation of new service laterals to a point outside the street area.

A description of the projects and environmental impact of the projects can be viewed at the offices of the Authority, located at: 5340 Nor-Bath Boulevard Northampton, PA 18067-

9062 610-262-7961 ext 303 Typical hours are 9 AM- 3 PM, but it is best to call to determine a time to view the documents.

Under requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Authority has determined that the project will not have a significant affect on the quality of human or natural environment, either individually, cumulatively over time, or in conjunction with other projects.

As such, the Authority considers the project to be eligible for a “Categorical Exclusion” from the need to prepare an environmental assessment and/or impact statement, more detailed than the environmental studies and evaluations already undertaThe studies that have been prepared have been reviewed by the PA Department of Environmental Protection and their review letter of January 24, 2011 includes the following statement: “This proposed water main replacement project, as described in the request, appears to be eligible for a Categorical Exclusion for the State Environmental Review process.”

It is noted, also, that a separate portion of this project includes an extension of a water main from Howertown Road to East Allen Gardens, along Mud Lane in Allen Township. It also includes a pump station in East Allen Gardens. The combination of these projects is entitled East Allen Gardens Water System with Mud Lane Water Line Extension. This project was separately reviewed by the PA Department of Environmental Protection under the same National Environmental Policy Act guidelines. Due to its size, that project was subject to a more intense environmental review procedure. A “Uniform Environmental Review” Report, dated October 21, 2010, was prepared for this project and reviewed by the PA Department of Environmental Protection and a separate review letter dated January 24, 2010 includes the following statement:

“From the information submitted, it appears that your project addresses adequately and/or complies with Federal Requirements for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.”

It is estimated that these projects will increase user rates by thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%), upon completion of construction in 2012 or 2013.

The public is invited to provide comments over a thirty (30) day period, after the date of this public notice. These comments must be in writing and submitted to East Allen Township Municipal Authority, at the above address, to be considered during the final reviews of this project.

Police Blotter Colonial Regional Retail Theft Caught in Act

Colonial Regional Police were at Wal-Mart in Lower Nazareth looking at the security video of an unrelated case on Jan. 16 when loss prevention personnel walked 29-year-old Melissa R. Austin of Swanson St., Easton, with her 3-year-old daughter, into the office.

Loss Prevention stated that Ms. Austin was pushing her shopping cart, containing $781.75 worth of unpaid merchandise in the store and then walked past all the registers and security devices with the cart, without paying for anything. She was detained in the vestibule before she could enter the parking lot with the shopping cart.

Ms. Austin was charged with retail theft and arraigned by District Judge Jacqueline Taschner, and was committed to Northampton County Prison on $5,000 bail.

Charges will be filed through District Judge Joseph Barner’s office.
