Moore transfers $1-million for Farmland preservation; plan Collection of electronic waste

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Moore Township’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Feb. 5 voted to transfer $1-million of farmland preservation funds to the First National Bank of Palmerton. It will go into a 12-month CD for better interest. The supervisors said that the money will stay in that account until needed.

It was noted that the Farmland Preservation open space ranking system has been approved for the township. The Environmental Advisory Council also approved the open space natural areas criteria.

Glenn Shoemaker of the EAC encouraged the township to get involved in the electronic recycling program as administered by Tom Ditmar, Environmental Conservation Coordinator in Northampton County. Shoemaker said that this will help make people better stewards of the earth. He admitted that in past years he threw everything away, but not now.

June 11 was set as a tentative date for the E-Waste collection that will take place at the Moore Township municipal building along Commu-

nity Drive.

He provided a pamphlet about the program that lists minimal fees that are charged residents who bring in answering machines, batteries, cell phones, large copiers, keyboards, microwaves, CRT monitors, laptops, pagers, printers and other items. The largest fee charged is for televisions, $18. But the other fees range from 25-cents to $5.00 and are mostly $1.00 each. The fees will go to AERC Recycling Solutions of Allentown who will run the program.

Supervisors’ Chairman Maynard Campbell acknowledged that programs like this have proven very successful if properly advertised, and said recycling has to be made more convenient.

At Shoemaker’s request, the board approved giving the EAC $400 to spend on advertising in local community papers so that people know about it.

Lehigh ZHB rejects Solar energy panels

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

In a 3-0 vote, the Lehigh Township Zoning Hearing Board on Thursday, Feb. 17, rejected plans to construct 7,000 solar energy panels at the Lehigh Elementary School.

ZHB chairperson Katherine Mack read the decision on three points following an executive session that lasted just over one hour behind closed doors. ZHB solicitor Thomas Caffrey said they had nothing to add and that the evidentiary part of the hearing was closed. The executive session was allowed under the Sunshine Act, Caffrey said, but any vote they took had to be done in public.

The ruling brought mixed reaction as expected – moments of happiness for the handful of residents who had opposed the plan, and a vow to appeal the decision by the parties affected who are planning the solar array: MetroTek Electrical Services, Energy Alliance LLC, and the Northampton Area School District.

Unlike an earlier hearing, in which residents were allowed to comment, this time it was between the MetroTek attorney, Christopher Spa-

doni and Lisa Pereira, who argued in behalf of the township as she filled in for Atty.

James Preston.

Mrs. Mack said that the ZHB took a look at the finding of facts presented by Zoning Officer Laura Harrier, who originally rejected the plan for the solar panel field in an agricultural - residential zone, and her opinion that it was a second principal use, and deemed commercial, so that the application for an accessory use should be rejected.

Also denied were an application for a special exception use and an interpretation of Ms. Harrier’s opinion that she misapplied the law.

Members of the ZHB are Katherine Mack, Kristin Lorah and Lloyd Hopkins.

Earlier in the hearing, Spadoni said that Harrier’s objections to the project were not based on fact, and that the applicants believe that the solar installation is an accessory use, based on the Lehigh Township zoning ordinance.

Quoting legal opinions in other cases, Spadoni said Ms. Harrier based her decision on the belief that it is a commercial use, and contended that “Uses need to keep up with

the technology, and easements need to be expanded.”

He said that concern about the size of the solar panels is not the controlling factor, and that the solar field is “incidental and subordinate” to the school use. He cited where accessory use has come into play in other cases in Pennsylvania.

On another concern, lot coverage with impervious surface, he said there is none because the panels would be above the ground with space between them.

Spadoni concluded his argument that the ZHB would be compelled under the township’s zoning ordinance and PA. Municipalities Planning Code to find that the solar field is an accessory use.

Atty. Pereira said, “Understand what the courts have ruled on principal and accessory use. The distinction here is that the school is the principal use, while the solar project can’t be controlled by the school district, but by Energy Alliance. Because of that lack of control and separate ownership, it can’t be an accessory to the school.”

Spadoni responded, “That’s such a slippery slope, it deContinued on page 13

A New Germany The world’s other three leading powers--the U.S., China and Russia--are well known to citizens of the world. The country with the fourth largest gross national product?

That’s now Germany.

Germany has the advantage of being barred since World War II from having a nuclear weapons program--saving billions of dollars. And Berlin, for years after World War II a divided, or occupied city, is now the center of the European economy.

Berlin has now replaced Paris as Director Thomas Sparr, one of Germany’s largest publishing firms, told a reporter for the Christian Science Monitor last month: “Berlin has become the cultural capital of Germany. It’s the leading city in Europe and perhaps the world. It is becoming what Paris was in the 50’s and New York was in the 80’s.

One doesn’t have to agree with that but one does have to admit that total German exports, now the second highest in the world, its 4th largest GDP, in a country of 82 million (compared to a U.S. population of 308 million) are impressive statistics.

Yet Germany, because of Hitler’s war, is not a major player at the United Nations, not a member of the Security Council, and without an intimidating military capacity, is often not considered a major world power. That may be changing. It’s of interest that the United States contains more German ancestry Americans than those of any other European country, and has for a hundred years or more.

With business and exports booming and the lowest unemployment rate in years, today’s new Germany is what many Germans dreamed about in World War I and II.

Opinion Obama’s rules for Wisconsin

By Lee Wishing Fascinated by the political struggle in Wisconsin, I re-read Rules for Radicals to gain a sense of how much our country’s great community organizer will engage the battle. Wisconsin must be the stuff a young Barack Obama dreamed of: organized labor vs. a Republican governor. A power struggle between the Rules for Radicals so-called “Have-Nots” and the “Haves” represented by Gov. Scott Walker. Obama learned community power dynamics in Chicago from the principal disciple of the author of the book on community organizing, the notorious Saul Alinsky.

Let’s fast-forward: Obama turned his successful presidential campaign organization into a giant community organizing committee called Organizing for America. Last week he turned it loose in Wisconsin to support organized labor. Makes sense.

But in re-reading Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals something seemed out of place to me.

The “Haves” in this case are organized labor! Many states are in financial trouble due to lavish public sector union benefits and Gov. Walker is trying to reduce Wisconsin’s costs by trimming some of the unions’ collective bargaining rights and by asking workers to contribute a reasonable amount to their retirement and healthcare packages.

It became apparent to me that the Badger State’s public unions would have to reposition themselves as the “HaveNots,” and they did on Friday.

They offered to concede to Walker’s benefits package demands . . . but they refused to give ground on collective bargaining rights. A smart “by the book” move. The only remaining question on my mind was how much President Obama would become involved in the fight.

As Alinsky advocated, Obama is a disciplined realist who uses power to ad-

News Sermonette The Rev. Jay R. Wetzel

Pastor, S t. John’s Lutheran Church

“But what about me?”

“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”(Matthew 22:39 NRSV) Here he goes; dragging out the old “love” and “neighbor” shtick. How many times do we have to hear this?

Well, maybe once more. This morning I drove south on Route 512 and was approaching the entrance to a local restaurant, it was 6:00 am. A driver in a pickup truck was attempting to exit the lot and turn left onto northbound 512. Having been in a similar position myself; I stopped to allow the driver of the truck the courtesy of safely making the turn. The driver in a car behind me felt a need to be somewhere and swiftly swung around me, crossing the double yellow lines to do so. A second car followed suit. So, I took time to ponder that “old line” and what impact it might have on how we make our daily choices.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to the two drivers— perhaps they had someplace urgent to be—I still was concerned that they willingly broke a law just to save a few seconds of time. Did they really think their needs superseded their duty to a neighbor—their actions endangering the pickup driver and, perhaps, myself? Have we become a society where the pursuit of our own agenda takes away any obligation to others? Are we truly a “me first” society?

It doesn’t take much effort to see “me first” philosophies being promoted in just about all walks of life. Perhaps that is the reason, when someone acts selflessly on behalf of another, it shocks so many people. So deep is the shock that some are convinced the selfless one had to have deeper, self-serving motives. Did Jesus have deeply hidden “selfish” motives for going to Calvary?

Lent begins in just thirteen days. Will we use this time of inner reflection to ask ourselves: Whom do I serve with my words, deeds, actions? Am I aware of how my words, deeds, and actions impact upon my neighbor? Is it possible for my neighbor to see Christ alive in me?

My prayers went with those two drivers this morning. I asked the Lord to guide them along their way and give to them eyes to see their neighbors’ needs. Amen.

Hah! You thought we were gonna have an early spring when it got warm last week.

Well, Old Man Winter came right on back and we had about three more inches of snow overnight from Sunday to Monday. It kept the skiers happy. Wasn’t really hard shoveling, but everything was white again. To top it off, weather folks said we were gonna get another storm of mixed snow, sleet and ice on Monday night into Tuesday. Man! I’m tired of winter!! Any more of this and I’m gonna coax Elmira into taking a three month trip down to Florida, or some place warm. . . . This is a tough time of year, not only with winter, but worrying about getting stuff together for taxes. If it’s not one place, it’s another – like township, borough or city, county, and the good old federal IRS. . . . With all the technology today it gets kinda mind boggling for us seniors.

And it seems to me some people are using it the wrong way, one fellow mentioning the other day that there’s information out there, besides pornography, and from what I read in the big city papers, there’s plenty of that going on. Reckon too much information is not good. Now there’s a new thing called facebook. Oh well, some folks like to write long hand, most everybody usta read books, and some even used a typewriter. It’s a changed world, that’s for sure. Give me the good old days when things were simple! . . . . One nice thing is the Phillies are back in spring training, and we can concentrate on baseball again. From looking at license plates and logos on cars, I can see there’s a lotta Yankee and Mets fans around here, too.

Getting older, though, has its drawback when you travel a long distance to the stadiums and hafta do all that walking and climbing to seats that aren’t too close to the action,

and for big bucks, too. Reckon I’ll do my long distance teams from the favorite easy chair in front of the TV. When it comes to the IronPigs, well I’ll head over Allentown way and watch ‘em play Triple A ball.

Whatever team you like, be a good fan and enjoy the sport. . . . Looks like a truck musta knocked off something over on Northampton & Walnut Streets. Borough crew was busy last week cementing in a steel pole that’s painted yellow. . . .The big issues around the county these days are whether or not Gracedale will be up to the voters, so it doesn’t get sold for five years at least, and the other thing is the sun panel project up at Lehigh Township School.

The debate goes on and on. . . . I think I’ll just have one of Elmira’s hot toddies and relax a bit. Enough of this serious stuff! Snows must go!

percent more of the electorate to win in 2012. In other words, he can’t be perceived as being too radical or he will risk alienating the moderate middle. Yet, he does need to inspire his liberal base.

He can do this by sending in Organizing for America and making pronouncements of support from distant Washington, D.C. Don’t look for Obama to go to Wisconsin and other states like Indiana to make highprofile speeches in favor of organized labor. If he does, the power calculus will have changed significantly, and I’ll be re-reading Rules for Radicals again.

Hatha Yoga is the System of Yoga pertaining to the physical body. It is more than just assuming the poses. Hatha yoga in its true and classical form is a full system of spiritual development. It is not to be confused with or mistaken for a religion.

The techniques practiced in Hatha Yoga are meant to harmonize and purify all of the body systems, the physical body, the emotions, and the mind. They focus the mind so the physical and mental body can detox unwanted thoughts and emotions. These techniques assist the Yogi (male practioner) or Yogini (female practioner) to cultivate increased states of awareness of oneself and one’s surroundings.

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt MD PhD On Saturday, February 12, 2011, I had the distinct honor and privilege to attend a lecture in New York City, on “healing late stage Lyme disease without the use of antibiotics” given by, hands down, the number one authority on tick borne illnesses in the world, Dr Dietrich Klinghardt.

A man of some seventy years, he gave the appearance of the professor from ‘Back to the Future’ yet spoke with a precise and direct way through his German accent.

A genius of an individual, admittedly, I found his lecture perhaps one of the most clinically stimulating talks I have ever attended. The material was captivating. As you can tell I was a bit star struck.

I share this with all our Natural Perspective ™ readers as it is of utmost importance to share the latest research, theories, and viewpoints that just isn’t reaching your door step. You will hear much of what we share, nowhere else.

Understand that while this lecture had a distinct and narrow focused title, the material presented couldn’t be more diverse. At each and every turn a side note discussion ensued. These off topic discussions made the grasping of the material at hand even more relevant to me personally and my patients specifically. Names of patients kept coming to me, one after the other, seeing possibilities, correlations and approaches I hadn’t considered before. Intriguing.

Dr. Klinghardt’s approach reveals a natural perspective that appears (for the sake of brevity in this week’s column) two fold: The first is based on a view that even though a person may have a infectious disease, like borrelia, mycoplasmosis, bartonella, Babesia, it is “their specific” makeup that causes the fullest expression of the disease. (My words not his). From what I garnered he would consider our own genetic code, DNA, and innate immune capability as major factors.

The second take away is that the person(s) in question probably expressed the disease not just because of the unique genetic makeup but because additional stressors could have been placed on the body, which collectively beat the body up so badly that it couldn’t keep status quo. A little arsenic here, a little heavy metal exposure there. Stress, lack of sleep, environmental chemical exposure regularly, nutrient poor food, and perhaps the endless onslaught of EMF’s (electromagnetic fields), and whamo, the melting pot of a stressors combined with an infectious “something” produces a named disease. Could multiple sclerosis be the bacteria borrelia, combined with the herpes virus and mercury metal exposure? Makes you think doesn’t it. Almost reminds me of mixing various colors together, like blue and yellow make green.

My clinical realization is that moving forward, treating patients may require throwing out at a much larger “diagnostic net” to figure out what added co-factors are attributing to the presenting disease.

These takes us far beyond blood work. We have begun to post many of these various tests to consider on our website yet more are forthcoming.

We should consider getting to each “layer” of the possible causes of poor health BEFORE said named disease takes hold. This may not be an easy road to travel but for those who have tried everything else and feel like they are “on the back nine” of existence then this approach is valid. Peeling away the layers like that of an onion may take time, maybe years. After treating many patients I can see that one-size-fits-all doesn’t work anymore and any integrative doctor has to throw away the rose colored glasses and consider this new perspective.

“Natural Perspectives” is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.

fraudulent financial aid offers.

During financial aid application season, students and families may be contacted by individuals or companies offering assistance for securing money for a college education.

For a cost, persons or companies may offer help in securing scholarship money or in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Some of these organizations are legitimate while others are not. Families should remember that free resources are available to provide them with the assistance they need.

The Federal Trade Commission warns that unscrupulous companies “guarantee” or “promise” scholarships for students. Such claims should be a warning sign. Families can avoid scholarship scams by looking for these types of misleading sales pitches: For a fee, the company or organization will provide a list of scholarship opportunities. If a student does not receive a reward and seeks a refund, they soon find that conditions have been attached to the agreement to make it impossible to get the refund.

GOLF✷ ✷ ✷ ✷ ✷ ✷ The mystery which surrounded Tiger Woods in 2010 is the same subject of speculation among fans and fellow pros this year.

The world’s two top ranked

players recently were quoted as saying they still considered Woods the world’s top golfer.

That surprised many, after a full year of Tiger not demonstrating his former ability.

Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer agreed that Woods still ranks tops. Kaymer said simply: “He’s the best player in the game.”

From 1996 to 2009 Woods was, almost all agreed, the top ranked golfer. But now there are different viewpoints. But when the current top two players say Woods is still the best, that’s impressive--and respected by many.

Free Nicotine Patches to Help Smokers Quit!

As of today, free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) kits are available to Pennsylvanians who are trying to quit smoking. Sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the 4-week kits are offered through the PA Free Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, for approximately six to eight weeks, while supplies last.

The NRT giveaway is part of the state’s ‘Quit for Love’ campaign to reach out to anyone who is considering quitting or quit for someone you love.

“We know that it takes most individuals an average of five to eight quit attempts before they are successful,” said Leslie Best, the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s director of the Bureau of Health Promotion and Risk Reduction.

“Counseling coupled with NRT increases the likelihood that tobacco users will be

successful in their attempts to go tobacco free.”

Individuals interested in receiving a free NRT kit and counseling should call the PA Free Quitline at 1-800-QUIT NOW or 1-800-784-8669. Quit coaches will ask callers if they are ready to set a quit date and have any medical conditions that would rule out the safe use of nicotine patches.

Callers will then enroll in a series of free tobacco counseling sessions.

For more information about the state’s cessation resources, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit www.DeterminedToQuit.com. The website provides guidance in developing a quit plan, a quit companion and calculator, and video blogs of other Pennsylvania residents sharing their own stories about quitting tobacco. There is also information for friends and family members of smokers who wish to support their loved one in their quit attempt.

Tobacco Free Northeast PA is the state contractor for tobacco prevention and treatment programs in the Northeast Health District of PA overseeing programs in 10 counties. Alice Dalla Palu, executive director, emphasizes that, “smokers should never quit alone, seek professional counseling combined with approved FDA medications to quit for good. This will double your chance of success and reduce severe withdrawal from tobacco.” She also states that, “smokers have a choice this month, you can quit with telephone counseling or contact us anytime of the year for free professional counseling and medications at 1-866-974QUIT (7848) or visit www.tobaccofreene.com.”

Golden Gleams

The desire for fame tempts even noble minds.

The fame of men ought always to be estimated by the means used to acquire it.

All fame is dangerous; good bringeth envy, bad, shame.

Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else.

Science arises from the discovery of identity amidst diversity.

Among people generally corrupt, liberty cannot long exist.

It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.

A statesman makes the occasion, but the occasion makes the politician.

A politician thinks of the next election, a statesman, of the next generation.

In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in folly.

Life is the school of gladiators, where men live and fight with one another.

Life is half spent before we know what it is.

A useless life is an early death.

Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle; old age a regret.

The man of true greatness never loses his child’s heart.

The past month has been very hectic with all the snow days, standardized testing, and mid-terms going on at the secondary level. Even with all the adversity with reduced period times and days off, the students have gotten off to a great start for the second semester.

Jan. 28-29 marked a special occasion when Northampton High School held the PMEA District 10 Orchestra Festival. There were more than 104 students in the ensemble.

Cora Monroe, a senior and violist at Northampton, had the privilege of being selected to perform with the ensemble.

Another upcoming performance other than the Spring Concert will feature the high school string students playing for the high school Top 30

Hunters can purchase Special spring Gobbler tag now

Pennsylvania hunters who would like the opportunity to harvest a second spring gobbler can purchase a second spring gobbler tag until the spring gobbler season begins on April 30, according to Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe. In fact, thanks to the Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS), hunters can purchase a second spring gobbler tag at

Feb. 24-Mar. 2, 2011 11 any issuing agent or through the agency’s website.

Roe cautioned that those who plan to purchase the second spring gobbler tag through the agency’s website should expect to wait seven to 10 days for shipping, depending on the volume of other online purchases.

“Prior to the implementation of PALS, hunters had to wait until Jan. 1 before submitting a license application for the second spring gobbler tag, and then wait for the agency to mail the license back to them,” Roe said. “The old process was necessary to enable the agency to spread out the administrative workload of processing and handling licenses for the fall hunting seasons.

“However, thanks to PALS, hunters can now purchase the second spring gobbler tag at any issuing agent and walk out of the store with the license in hand, or they can purchase it online and wait for it to be mailed to them within 10 days.”

Roe noted that all general hunting license holders are able to take one spring gobbler as part of their general hunting privileges; the second spring gobbler tag license affords those hunters interested in this additional opportunity to take a second spring gobbler. Hunters may only purchase one second spring gobbler license during a license year, as the season limit remains two spring gobblers, and the daily harvest is one bird per day.

MetroTek’s chief operating officer, Reiner Jaeckle, in conversation with his engineer, Robert Toeder while awaiting the ZHB’s decision, called the hearing a “hurdle” that has to be dealt with, and then they can move forward.

He believes that it is new technology that is troubling governmental bodies.

Spadoni said they will await the written decision within 45 days, review and evaluate it, and then appeal. They’ll have 30 days to appeal the issue in Northampton County Court.

Elements of the agreement that would provide a cost savings to the school district in electricity over the next 20 years have previously been detailed.

is denied and the student is out the money.

Companies may claim that their information is simply not available anywhere else.

However, much of the information they use can be accessed for free. PHEAA’s EducationPlanner.org offers a free scholarship database.

Some organizations persuade students and their families to send them money to “hold” an award, claiming that students are finalists in a scholarship contest.

However, scholarships are only awarded based on a student’s application. Organizations that have official sounding names, fancy seals, and a Washington, D.C., mailing address can give families the impression the organization is affiliated with or endorsed by the federal government, when, in fact, no association exists.

Free scholarship or “financial planning” seminars can frequently end with a sales pitch to “act now or lose out on this opportunity” for a fee.

Any legitimate organization or entity will not use pressure or scare tactics.

Students interested in applying for scholarships and other financial aid should contact their school counselor for assistance in identifying local awards. A variety of scholarships, including merit, scholastic and special talent awards, are available to students.

Families are encouraged to report suspected scams by contacting the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP. For more information on student financial aid, visit JulieHarhart.com.
