At the Northampton Area School District board meeting held Monday night at the administration building, Mr. John Szazdi, a Borough resident, spoke out against the farmland preservation act or Act 4 in the school district and the borough. Mr. Szazdi told board members that he believes the act supports tax breaks from farmers and shifts the burden to residential property owners. Mr. Szazdi urged board members to vote no to Act 4. The NASD Board will hold one more hearing on Act 4 in the district. In other matters, the Middle school leadership team is conducting bi-weekly meetings on the progress of the design of the new building. An Act 34 hearing will be held on August 16 at 6 p.m. at the administration building to further discuss the middle school project. In addition, they are looking at other area schools for turf and aesthetics planning. The facilities within the school district were also addressed by Supt. Kovalchik who noted that the Athletic Director, Mr. Todd Bowser, is working with East Allen Township Parks & Recreation to secure a practice field at Bicentennial Park for the fall boys and girls soccer teams. Current facilities at the district, he said, are not enough to handle the volume of fall games and practices between the different sports. The athletic department is waiting on a financial cost from the transportation department before moving forward. The board approved the fol-

lowing ; Jose Yunez will begin as the Assistant Girls Soccer coach and Katie Biechy will serve as a LTS Special Education Teacher at the Middle School through December. They also accepted a donation of a Spinet piano from Mechelle Keller, agreed to continue the Head Start program at George Wolf for

2012-2013 school year, accepted Northampton Area School District’s tax exempt status for real estate taxes in 2012 and authorized three board members to attend the PSBA conference in Hershey in October. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday August 13 at 6:30 p.m.

When holders have successfully visited every location, the full passport and their successful travel throughout Northampton County will be documented. Awards will be given to those well-traveled visitors at a special Northampton County History Day in March 2013.

Did you buy your lucky duck? Yep, the Great Duck Race is this Friday, when all those little plastic ducks people bought will be floating merrily down the Monocacy Creek, dodging rocks as they go by, with the waters being so low this summer. We had some rain on Friday, and it helped the crops and grass some, but still the creeks and rivers are low. I better not say any more, or it could hex the race. We’ll take whatever water there is right now. The rains can come a little later, but not so fast or so much, just steady. . . . Looks like that road widening project down below Bath on 512 isn’t a priority ‘cause it’s been dragging on and on, with no work being done to speak of for weeks. Those markers that were set up to keep traffic in line have been taking lots of hits, and cars and trucks are just bouncing along with the bumps in the road. Our roads in a lot of the county are not in the best of shape. Just hafta grin and bear it, I reckon. . . . Congrats to the Bath senior Legion team for winning the Northampton County cham-

pionship. Things haven’t been going too great in the region tournament, but to win the county race is a big accomplishment in itself, so they deserve a big pat on the back for knocking off a tough Nazareth team. . . . I hear a conservation school counselor had a good time with his friends after camp, got in late, and missed his flight. He hadta wait for the next flight to Atlanta. His grandpa was happy to see him, anyhow. . . . Danielsville couple enjoying a month’s vacation out in California, I hear. . . . It was so hot and humid on Monday that I hear some local folks didn’t spend much time cruising on the lake with their boat. . . . Penn State alumni are depressed at all the bad things that have happened this year because of what one man did, and now the latest, tearing down the statue of JoePa. The university got some stiff penalties thrown at them, too, and will have a tough time recruiting football players since they can’t get into any bowl games the next four years. It’s all just so sad! . . . . I hear one grad of the past took it out on the golf balls in a tournament and

VBS closing at Christ UCC featured â€˜Flyâ€™ songs and skits

Children and adults who were a part of the weeklong Va-

cation Bible School based on the theme â€œFlyâ€? had their closing exercise on Sunday morning at Christ UCC Church in Bath. It was a wonderful program of songs and skits that stressed, â€œEverything is possible with God.â€?The fellowship hall, other Sunday school rooms, and even the front yard were colorfully decorated to depict the theme. All of the skits ended with the words, â€œTrust God!â€? Their mission project this year was to support â€œOperation Kid-to-Kidâ€?, an international outreach program that allows children in North America to serve other children around the world. Money contributed the past week will be used to help buy mosquito nets to protect children in Mali from the disease malaria that is spread by mosquitoes. A sample of the mosquito netting was shown to the congregation by Rev. Merkel. Past mission programs helped to provide backpacks to children in Latin America and Comfort Critters to children who survived disasters in North America. Program directors were The Rev. Fran Merkel, Rachel Rasley, Darlene Shannon and Tammy Weist. The week included Wild Blue Bible Adventures, Skydive Diner, Sky High Movie & Missions, Imagination Station, All-Star Games and Spotlight VBS. In the program, Lisa Shafer told about the mission project; Laurie Kraemer had the children tell of their God sightings, and Lauren Yob had the closing. Crew Leaders for the preschool group included Amanda Miller, Sarah, Stephen and Brittany St. Dennis with these children: Chase Corrow, Brayden Koder, Rileigh Koder, Shania Moyer, Kirra Stepp and Hayden Werner. Crew leaders Adrianna DiOdoardo, Colleen Oâ€™Reilly, Hanna Oâ€™Reilly, Ashley Shannon and Skylar Yob had these elementary children in their group: Hunter Corrow, Alexa Ehrgott, Mitchel George, Johnna Hawk, Karah Lilly, Madison Lilly, Declan Messics, Mary Kate Oâ€™Reilly, Jake Rasley, Jasmine Rasley, Sara Rivera, Jonathan Rivera, Xavier ShiveSanchez, Michah Sommons, Abigayle Willer and Heather Yob.

Until we meet again in Gladenbach, Germany, Sina (left) and Chrissy say their goodbyes as the German Exchange Students depart from Northampton High School.

Mein Reise Nach Deutschland Was ich entdenckt habe By Christine Zopf Home News Editorial Intern

At the close of my sophomore year I sat eagerly in Northampton High School's auditorium listening closely to the details of the 2012 GAPP trip. My brother, Philip, sitting next to me was nearly as excited as I was. In the upcoming fall we would be able to apply for the opportunity of a lifetime. GAPP is short for German American Partnership Program, in which Northampton High School is partnered with a school in Gladenbach, Germany. Every two years a group of interested students is selected to be a part of the GAPP program, but only after submitting a letter written in German, an essay in English, and receiving recommendations from two teachers. Students accepted also are required to have a specified GPA and no disciplinary record. As a part of the GAPP program, students host a German student in the spring and travel to Germany to live with their partners’ family in the summer.During the month of October I held my breath, anx-

ious to discover if I had been accepted into the program. Finally, on a Monday morning after a very restless weekend, I learned that not only was I accepted, but my brother was as well. We were given the names and information of our partners and a list of dates when meetings would be held. In that moment, I could not have been any happier. Throughout the year, I attended meetings, saved money, and eventually prepared my house to host two guests. On March 23, 2012 I stood outside of the high school waiting for a Trans Bridge bus to arrive, carrying 24 German students, two of whom would be living with me for the next 19 days. My partner Sina and I had chatted via e-mail for the past few months, but I still was unsure while scanning the crowd who exactly she was. It didn't take long for us to find each other. All around, students were greeting each other, meeting for the first time. Philip found his partner, also named Philipp, and we departed the school with my parents, a family of six. Over the next few weeks,

we learned a lot about each other; we shared a similar taste in music, I was more outgoing than she was, we both liked the same movies. And Philip and Philipp could have been twins, they are so similar. On April 11, 2012 the German students departed for New York City where they would spend three nights before flying home. Although it was sad to see them go, we knew it wasn't the last goodbye, and we would be seeing them again soon. By June I wanted nothing more than for school to end, because within a week of school ending I would be flying to Frankfurt, Germany. Before the trip, I had never been on a plane, let alone leaving the country. Although the thought of being on a plane, 30,000 feet above the ground, terrified me, my excitement to leave the country cast my fear into the shadows. After taking off I discovered that flying is nothing to get worked up about, and I actually found sleeping for the majority of the ride to be quite simple. I was in Germany in no time, and during the course of three weeks, I would live with a German family, attend German school, and travel Southern Germany and Northern Austria. Along the way I created many memories, which I will be sharing with you. My name is Chrissy, the summer intern at The Home News. During the remaining week of July and the month of August, I will be taking you along on my journey as an exchange student in a six part series. I have so many stories about what it was like to live in a household that spoke a different language and had a different culture, the differences between the German and American school system, and I also want to share my memories from the five day tour I took around southern Germany with 23 other American students. You can follow my journey, beginning with German family life and culture, in next week’s Home News. If you have any thoughts or questions about my trip or involvement in the GAPP program, feel free to contact me at Chrissy@homenewspa.com.

Bath wins Northampton County Legion League crown

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Bath’s Eckley E. Patch Post #470 Senior Legion team in the Northampton County American Legion Baseball League completed a sweep of defending champion Nazareth on Tuesday, July 17. They won 9-6 at Walter C. Fry Memorial Field in Nazareth. After the game, Bath manager Gene Sostarecz accepted the Bob Osterstock Memorial trophy, and he told the team, “This is the first step,” referring to Bath’s entry into the Region 2 tournament at West Lawn, Pa. However, the NorCo champs lost 11-3 in playing the Bux-Mont League champion, Doylestown. It put the locals in the losers’ bracket and they played West Lawn on Sunday, winning that one, 1-0. It gave Bath another chance to win, meeting Hatfield on Monday. In last Tuesday’s game, Bath got off to an early 7-run lead on a scorcher of a night to play ball. Five of Bath’s runs came in the 1st inning on singles by Ryan Santoro and Jake Tone, a walk to Pat Donnelly, sacrifice fly by James Bertolotti, and doubles by Pete Daland and Tom Esparo. Nazareth responded with a run in the 1st on a single, walk and an error and picked up two more in the 2nd after Bath had scored two more runs in the 2nd. Bath’s starting pitcher Pete Daland started to wilt in the heat in the 4th inning and Nazareth fought back with three runs as Tyler Pastor drove in Jake Carty, and Karl Keglovits and Dan Shepherd

added RBIs. Sostarecz brought in Albertson to relieve on the mound and he shut the door on Nazareth the rest of the way in three innings. Tone had three hits and three RBIs, Daland went 3-for-4, Santoro 2-for-3 in the win over Nazareth. It was Bath’s first NorCo championship in 20 years. Region Tourney The defense struggled mightily in Bath’s game vs. Doylestown, committing six errors that didn’t help Bath’s starting pitcher Jim Sawyer or reliever Ed Albertson. Doylestown was ahead 4-3 after six innings, and everything collapsed after that and Doylestown picked up three runs in the 7th inning and four in the 9th to wrap it up and put them in the winners’ bracket of the double elimination tournament. Sunday’s game vs. West Lawn saw Bath survive, giving up seven hits, four walks, and three errors (a total of nine in two days by the usually good defensive team). Bath scored its lone run in the 4th inning when Pat Donnelly singled, went to second on James Bertolotti’s walk, took third on a sacrifice bunt by Pete Daland, and Donnelly crossed the plate on Jim Sawyer’s sacrifice fly. Catcher James Bertolotti threw out a West Lawn runner when he strayed too far off first base in the 8th inning with the bases loaded. Robert Bertolotti retired all three batters he faced in the 9th to preserve the win for Bath. Bath’s Pat Donnelly pitched

Still in the losers’ bracket, they were scheduled to play another game on Tuesday. Report on that game in next week’s issue.

This organization will consist of up to nine teams - one at 10U, two at 12U, two at 14U, two at 16U, and two at 18U; in which one of the 18U teams will be a college showcase team. Tournament softball has gown exponentially in the past ten years. The expansion of the industry has lead to the quick development of teams all over the area. Although this may seem initially positive, it has lead to the dispersing of talent over various organizations. In order

to compete on state or even national scale, this continued spreading of talent will only further weaken tournament teams from the Eastern PA. Outlaws Fastpitch aims to narrow these choices into the area’s ultimate softball destination. To do this, it is no better stated than by Jeff Fischl Sr., Head Coach of the Lehigh Valley Outlaws 18UA, "Our goal is to provide a structurally solid organization, in which young women can successfully develop their talents through experienced coaching that remains consistent at every level.

Know The Weather

How long will hurricane season last? Why do these storms strike only in the east? The hurricane season lasts until November 30th. These storms often occur in October and even into November. By December they are usually things of the past. Hurricanes strike the eastern United States via both the Gulf and the Southern Atlantic, because they spawn over warm water. Their course is either north or northeast, though they sometimes move northwest out of the Gulf. They seldom, if ever, strike the west coast of the United States and should they do so the Rocky Mountains protect the western states, acting as a barrier which breaks up such storms as they move eastward. Thus, the western states are usually free from tropical-bred maritime cyclones.

Weekend Forecast - Northampton County

The Eastern PA Weather Authority is calling for a high of 88 with partly cloudy skies and an isolated thunderstorm on Thursday. Friday is going to bring clouds with scattered thunderstorms and a high of 86 and Saturday there is also a chance of thunderstorms with a high of 84. The extended forecast is calling for a high of 84 on Sunday and a high of 86 degrees on Monday.

Forty-three employees of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. in Allentown participated in a “Day of Caring” at Lehigh Gap Nature Center earlier this month. They helped with several major projects, including weeding the Habitat Gardens, trimming brush along the LNE Trail, and monitoring the forbs planted inside and outside of the deer exclosures in the grassland. But the bulk of the work done on this day was the removal of birch trees from the grassland area of the refuge. LGNC Director Kunkle thanked the group, complimenting their work ethic, and also saluted Air Products for supporting this day of caring by allowing workers to volunteer for LGNC while being paid their regular salary.

Sewer user fees upped to keep Pace with treatment plant costs

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Northampton Borough Council on Thursday enacted an ordinance amending another so that sewer user fees will be raised in the borough. They will go up from 80% to 95% of water bills, retroactive to July 1. Borough Manager Gene Zarayko said the increase was necessary to keep up with the escalating costs of operating the wastewater treatment plant. Also at the meeting, Zarayko received permission to sign an inter-municipal sewer service agreement with Allen Township after it has been reviewed by the township. Several months of negotiations were involved before the two parties came to the

agreement recently. Other Matters • Three appointments were approved: Mayor Thomas Reenock to serve on the Uniform Construction Code Board of Appeals for another five-year term until April 30, 2017; Michael Bernini, to fill a vacancy on the Zoning Hearing Board; and Robert Spengler as the third party committee member for both the police and non-uniform pension boards. It was also noted that there are still two more vacancies on the U.C.C. Board of Appeals, and applicants need construction experience. • Wendy Rodriguez, manager of Responsible Recycling Services, will provide electronic waste containers at

Lorah’s

Truck Pull July 27, 28 & 29 Admission $5/person Children 12 and under are Free

7/27 – Diesel and Semi Trucks @ 6 7/28 – Tractor Pulls @ 1 pm 7/29 – Garden Tractor Pulls @ 10 am Gas and ProStock Truck Pulls @ 2 pm

no cost to the borough. They will be placed at the King St. recycling center. Zarayko said recycling of e-waste will become mandatory Jan. 1, 2013. He said that he would like to have a special e-cycling event on August 18. Covered devices include TVs, computers, printers, keyboards, mice(the touchable kind), computer monitors, and most electronic equipment. The borough will also take car batteries at that event. • Four requests were approved: Grace U.C.C. Church, to block Ridge Alley from Bridge St. to 9th St. for safety during vacation Bible school July 23-27, 6-8:30; Northampton Area Band Parents, use of parking lots at Smith Lane and Lerchenmiller Drive on Sat., Oct. 20, during a Festival of Bands; Northampton Area School District, to have continued access to recreation center for a temporary shelter in event schools would have to be evacuated; and residents of 515 E. 11th St. and 516 E. 12th St., to block alley for a yard sale Aug. 18, 7 to 3. • A delegation from China will visit the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum on August

10, according to Curator Ed Pany, who has also received three donations: LaFarge Cement, $2,000; NASHS Class of 1962, $143; and Geraldine Skrapits, $100. LeRoy Brobst has submitted an application to Northampton County for a $1,000 grant from the Hotel Tax fund to replace landscaping in front of the museum. Last year, Northampton received $1,000 to install tinting on the windows to keep ultraviolet rays from ruining museum displays. • New red, white and blue banners have been placed on Main St. between 19th and 21st Sts. Another 22 “Welcome to Northampton” banners have been ordered. • With the hot summer weather, swimming pool revenue has increased by $8,303 to $40,808.50. Unfortunately, some people have been pulling out caulk from pool seams, and public works crews with diving gear will be needed to repair those seams to prevent leaks. • Interstate Line Painting,

THE HOME NEWS July 26-August 1, 2012 Hazleton, has repainted center-lines on streets for $3,600. • Reconstruction of 28th St. from Cherryville Rd. east will be done soon with a binder and topping after old macadam has been removed and the base stabilized.

Queenship of Mary Church, Northampton will be having its annual garage sale on Saturday August 4 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. For more information, 610-262-2227.

Healthy Eating Despite the recent surprise

THE HOME NEWS

Pastor Volker Stoeckmann Valleyview Baptist Church

Lost At Sea An old sailor repeatedly got lost at sea, so his friends gave him a compass and urged him to use it. The next time he went out in his boat, he followed their advice and took the compass with him. But as usual he became hopelessly confused and was unable to find land. Finally he was rescued by his friends. Disgusted and impatient with him, they asked, “Why didn’t you use that compass we gave you? You could have saved us a lot of trouble!”The sailor responded, “I didn’t dare to! I wanted to go north, but as hard as I tried to make the needle aim in that direction, it just kept on pointing southeast.” The old sailor was so certain he knew which was north that he stubbornly tried to force his own personal persuasion on his compass. Unable to do so, he tossed it aside as worthless and failed to benefit from the guidance it offered. I find that many people are like the sailor when it comes to the Bible. Someone gives them a Bible for a gift and they set it aside and refuse to use it. They feel they know how to live life on their own and they don’t need any help. They insist that their way is right, but very quickly they are as turned around and confused as the sailor mentioned above. In the Psalms we read, “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Friend, I encourage you to find that Bible of yours and read it today. If you don’t have one call us at Valleyview Baptist Church and we would be glad to supply you with one. Then begin reading in the New Testament with the Gospel of John where God lays out the way of eternal life for us. It’s no fun being lost at sea, but it is eternally devastating to be lost spiritually.

First was on water safety, and the students demonstrated the proper way to wear a life jacket (otherwise known as a personal flotation device or PFD), and how to get in and out of a canoe safely. Another was on the Lehigh Canal and the mules that pull the canal boat. Then another on exotic and invasive species.
