By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Harhart congratulates winners Of ‘No Bullying’ poster contest In an effort to engage students in combating the growing problem of school bullying, state Rep. Julie Harhart (R-Lehigh/ Northampton) held a “No Bullying” poster contest for all fourthgrade students in the 183rd Legislative District.

“This was a contest based on an issue most all kids can relate to – whether they have been a perpetrator, victim or witness of bullying – so the students really got involved and came up with some creative and thoughtful posters,” said Harhart. “I am

proud of all the participants who took the time to create and enter posters for the contest. It was definitely hard to choose the winner.”

Harhart said the contest was voluntary and posters were judged on expression of theme, originality of poster design, use of positive message and originality of art work.

The winner of the contest is Leaira Collins, a student from Slatington Elementary School. The runners up are Joelyne Jacob and Paige Bartholomew from Sheck-

OpinionHH Pennsylvania Needs Transportation Funding Now

By George Greig

Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary

We’re on the edge of a transportation crisis. More than 9,200 miles of Pennsylvania roads are in poor condition, and that number will nearly double in four years.

About 4,000 bridges are structurally deficient, and many can’t hold trucks, tractors and farm equipment.

The condition of our transportation system affects the way farmers do business and how consumers enjoy the state’s agriculture bounty.

Governor Corbett has a longterm solution to fix our transportation network.

Transportation drives our number one industry – agriculture – and we need good roads to get food to Penn-

sylvanians. Each day, thousands of dollars of agriculture products move on our state’s roadways. We expect pick up, travel and delivery of our farm products to be efficient.

Products are loaded onto a truck shortly after they are harvested from our fields or pumped from our milk tanks.

They should arrive to our consumers safe, fresh and undamaged. But too often, that’s not the case.

Rough roads damage freight and add travel time, meaning consumers may get lower quality products.

Many bridges can’t hold the trucks that carry our food, and they’re forced to take detours that add time to trips.

Vehicles that travel these deteriorating roads burn more fuel and need costly repairs more often. Our aging roads are cutting into farmers’ profits, resulting in higher prices for consumers. Pennsylvania can’t afford bad roads.

Governor Corbett’s proposal adds $1.8 billion to Pennsylvania’s transportation system. That money will allow the state to restore our bridges, repave our roads and improve public transporta-

tion, while adding as many as 50,000 good-paying jobs.

Pennsylvania’s transportation funding crisis has been decades in the making and while quick money has come and gone, the state has not received a significant funding increase since 1997. The lack of funding is starting to take its toll.

We cannot continue to ignore the problem and increase the burden on future generations. We must fund Pennsylvania’s transportation system now. Under the governor’s proposal, the state would raise additional dollars by removing an artificial cap on the Oil Company Franchise Tax. The governor is also proposing a 17-percent reduction in the “flat” motor fuels tax paid directly at the pump by motorists.

Our transportation system needs to be fixed now. Farmers can’t wait and neither can Pennsylvanians. Putting it off costs our economy, our safety and worst of all, it increases the cost for future generations.

program were okayed, as were the following lunch prices for elementary and secondary schools: student - $1.85 and $2.00; student entrée only, $1.65 and $1.75; 1/2 pint of milk, for students, 50-cents; vegetable or fruit, varies from 50 to 55-cents; adult - $3.50; adult entrée only, from $1.75 to $3.00.

The board also okayed Supt.

Joseph Kovalchik to attend Lehigh University School Study Council 2013 study tour to Boston University, Boston, Mass., from Sept. 24 to 27.

Congress Rejects Farm Bill

Last Thursday, the House of Representatives rejected final passage of the House Farm Bill by a 234-195 vote.

In an even more historic move, however, the full house voted, 230 to 194, in favor of an amendment offered by Representative Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) that would cap farm program payments so they support family farmers and ranchers, not passive in vestors and mega-farmers.

“We thank Representative Fortenberry for leading the charge to close the gaping loopholes that have made a mockery of farm program payment limitations,” said Traci Bruckner, Assistant Policy Director at the Center for Rural Affairs. “Representative Fortenberry’s tireless advocacy for reducing the subsidies that mega-farms use to drive family farmers out of busi-

According to Bruckner, the final passage of the House Farm Bill failed in part because of huge cuts to the food stamp program and because the rules established for the debate did not allow for further consideration of needed reforms to federal crop insurance premium subsidies. The House Rules Committee did not allow amendments that would have reduced premium subsidies for those making over $750,000 in adjusted Continued on page 16

Grow UR Biz in 2013 – Beach Bum vs. Beach Beauty

By CAROL RITTER

Oh, the sweet smell of the ocean and the calming of the beach is what everyone needs in the summertime. I had to babysit one of my grands in Rehoboth Beach recently and, as you may already know, my customer service experiences range from Beach Beauty to Beach Bum. When I checked into the hotel the staff was overwhelmingly friendly, “we have complimentary breakfast, wine and cheese at 5pm and at 8pm chocolate chip cookies.” Now I’m impressed, Beach Beauty! Then she reminds me, “ We also have a free shuttle to the beach.” You could take away all the other goodies, that shuttle to the beach is my cup of tea. That’s where we met Lew, the most amazing, friendly guy. He couldn’t wait to tell us about the city as he packed our stuff onto the shuttle and we drove

by restaurants he gave us the history and then.....he told us this was something they are trying as a pilot program with bigger and better services to come, BEACH BEAUTY! The group I was with said, “This is the best hotel I ever stayed in.” Until the next day.........

Breakfast started at 7:30am.

I arrived at 7:23 and began to get coffee and then decided to take a sticky bun up to my granddaughter’s room. The woman in charge of the food service came storming into the room. I said hello and got the obligatory hi, and she immediately ran into the kitchen (she was on a mission) to scold the staff for allowing the breakfast to open 7 minutes early. It was inappropriate, unnecessary and completely over the top...all over 7 minutes. But the real issue was me and the other early birds heard the whole thing. She stormed out of the kitchen and pretty much ruined that glowing reputation for the

hotel in about 10 minutes, BEACH BUM! The guests began to chatter, “did she have to do that to her staff in front of us, what’s the big deal about 7 minutes, wonder if her boss knows how rude she was to us.” “We love it here, I’m shocked by that behavior, I just might tell the owner.” I left and came back later with my family. When we arrived at 8am, the eggs were gone, the french toast was empty and the staff pretty much was taking their good old time refilling the food. BEACH BUM....

Here’s the scoop, for all the bosses in the world, hire that flexible, go-with-the flow employee who might have encouraged the 5 early birds to take a muffin.

For all the employees in the world who have to listen to that rage, get a new job and don’t work for someone who is that mean.

For all the guests in the Continued on page 13

Comment On Sports

By Pete Fritchie

GOLF✷ ✷ ✷

Sports fans are fortunate in the game of golf to be able to see their all-time greats doing well at advanced ages, which they were reminded of in the recent U.S. Open. In this golf classic, fans of Mickleson, one of golf’s all-time greats, were happy to see this admired family man in the lead in the opening rounds.

While Mickelson has been among the leaders in many

famous tournaments he hasn’t been the winner very often. Compared to golfers like Jack Nicklaus who won his first major title in 1962 and his fourth in 1980 or Tiger Woods who won three Opens in the first decade of this century, Mickleson’s number of wins are small.

Yet he has been a top competitor in as many top tournaments as many who won more titles. But most of all, Mickelson is famous as being the example of a good family man. He has skipped key days of tournaments to attend family events of importance, rare.

That he comes on at 43 in 2013 still a top competitor, is a refreshing note in golf.

32nd Lions All-Star Soccer Classic Held; MVPs, Scholarships Given The 32nd annual All-Star Soccer Classic hosted by the Whitehall Area School District was held on Sunday, June 2. The event was successful, even though the weather was wet and halted the game for 30 minutes.

The Lehigh Valley Conference boys defeated the Mountain Valley Conference/ Colonial League boys, 3-0.

Goals were scored by Nick Hutchinson of Parkland, Ben Roda of Emmaus, and Mohammad Bah of Freedom.

The girls game was shortened by 20 minutes in the second half because of lightning, and the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Kayla Cunningham of Whitehall scored both goals for the LVC. Callie Duliba of Palisades and Diana Conner of Pleasant Valley scored for the MVC/Colonial League team.

Scholarships Four $250 scholarship winners were announced, based on their volunteer hours and leadership in school and community, as well as their involvement and awards in soccer. Winning them for the boys were Matt Wagner and Jonathan Matejack, both of Allentown Central Catho-

lic. Scholarships for the girls went to Bridget Smith of Bethlehem Catholic and Kara Parvel of Whitehall.

Most Valuable Players MVP awards were also announced at the game.

Boys winning them from LVC were Ian Larimer of Liberty on defense and Nick Hutchinson of Parkland on offense. MVP boys for MVC/ Colonial were Jordan Ellison of Stroudsburg on offense and Joshua Gildea of Southern Lehigh on defense.

In the girls game, MVP’s for LVC were Kayla Cunningham of Whitehall on offense and Cherrymae Ortiz from Easton. Colonial/MVC MVP’s were Callie Duliba from Palisades on offense and Alesha Seifert from Wilson on defense.

Home News area players in the game were Tyler Davis and Romeo Gaye from Northampton High School and Mike Crocefoglin and Justin Schantzenbach from Nazareth on the boys team.

Local players for the girls were AnnaLia Giancaterino, Shelby Herstine and Christa Schroettner from Northampton, and Lennon Kramer from Nazareth High School.

AWARD WINNERS at the soccer picnic in Northampton included Cherrymae Ortiz and Joshua Gildea (front), MVP’s; and in rear (l-), Bridget Smith, Jonathan Matejack, and Matt Wagner, all recipients of $250 scholarships.

Game Day Summary Game co-chairman PDG Willard Stratz gave this summary report of the All-Star Soccer Classic sponsored by Charitable Enterprises, Inc. at the District 14-K Lions cabinet meeting on June 9: There was a fair attendance, with a large group of Lions spreading out the workload. More than 100 players, coaches and officials participated on the field.

The Slatedale-Emerald Lions Club ran the concession stand this year.

The sponsors again gave a free week to attend a youth soccer camp to a youth between the ages of 6 and 13.

Stratz said they hope to start planning for the 33rd annual All-Star Soccer Classic in September.

Awards Picnic Stratz presided at the awards picnic on June 23 at the 26th Street Playground pavilion in Northampton, and introduced DG Lin Gehris, DG-Elect Dennis Butz, 1st VDG-Elect Fred Folland, 2nd VDG-Elect Karen Brady, and Gary Toth of the Lehigh Valley Scholar Athlete Foundation. Telling the non-Lions that Lions Clubs International has 1.3-million members worldwide, he invited them and their relatives to get involved with Lions.

DG Gehris said there are so many positive things that the youths do. “You are winners!”

He also noted what Charita-

here is nothing better than gathering family and friends for a fun, outdoor get-together. With a few decorat­ing tricks and entertaining ideas, anyone can become the “host(ess) with the mostess.”

Whether your outdoor space is a sweeping, lakeside veranda or a tiny balcony with parking lot views, embrace it. To help Americans get the most out of their outdoor spaces and enjoy the summer season, OFF! has partnered with lifestyle and entertaining expert Katie Brown. Together, they have the tips and tricks to help ensure you’re prepared this summer for any outdoor gathering — be it a casual family dinner or a summer party with the neighbors.

First, a little preparation goes a long way. In the recent Summer Savvy Survey conducted by the makers of OFF!, 80 per­cent of respondents said getting a bug bite and running out of food are the two most annoying things that could ruin an outdoor party.

Before heading outside, spot treat your backyard with a product designed to protect it from a variety of insects like mosquitoes, ants and fleas, such as the OFF! Bug Control Backyard Pretreat. Simply attach it to a garden hose and apply to your trees, shrubs, ornamen­tals and structures. Once applied, OFF! Bug Control Backyard Pretreat kills 110 types of insects for up to eight weeks on non­ porous surfaces.

For a welcoming atmosphere, Brown always suggests incorporating flowers. Loosely arrange cut flowers in vases or salvaged bottles to enhance

the ambiance of any summer gettogether. Potted plants are inviting and can serve many purposes, such as welcome signs house numbers and bird feeders, so get inspired and have fun getting creative.

When it comes to prepping your outdoor living space for summer gatherings, remember that the tricks you use inside your home to make a space more cozy and inviting also work well outside.

Cluster seating around a coffee table then add side tables for plates of food and glasses. Anchor the grouping with a beauti­ful outdoor rug. Then amp up the fun factor with vibrant hues that mimic the colors in the surrounding landscapes. Why not poppy red pillows or a sunflower yellow tablecloth? Keep the decor light, bright and festive.

Lighting is another key consideration. Make sure there is plenty of lighting in the areas where your guests will gather

as well as along walking paths or driveways. Lighting can also create a special festive feeling at any party. There is something truly magical about thou­sands of tiny white lights surrounding an out­door space. For ambiance, string several strands of lights through trees and bushes or along wooden decks.

Clusters of candles should also be placed on small tables near where the guests will be lounging. Make sure to include an OFF! Citronella Candle or two. They add several hours of ambiance and style.

If you’re hosting a planned event, prep­aration for any type of weather is impor­tant. Try to anti­cipate things your guests may need to be com­ fortable during the party. Fill up wicker baskets, or “pamper pots,” and set them near various seating areas. It’s a thoughtful touch guests will really appreciate. Items to consider are:

n Sunscreen:

Even if the day is cloudy, both kids and adults will appreciate having an extra bottle of sunscreen on hand.

n Mosquito

repellent: The OFF! Clip-On gives your guests personal protection

against mosquitos so they can stay comfort­able throughout the event. n Light

blankets: The success of a party is often judged by how late people linger. Roll up a few light blankets and tuck them in the basket in case evening brings a chilly drop in temperature.

n Umbrellas:

Whether guests use them for an unexpected rain­shower or to shield themselves from the sun, umbrellas are a thoughtful touch.

n Flashlights: A little

extra illumination may come in handy during late night festivities. The kids might find flashlights make for a great game of tag.

If you’re hosting a planned event such as a birthday party or holiday BBQ, consider offering a fun take-home treat. As the party winds down, fill a small beach bag with any extra supplies, such as flash­lights, sunscreen, insect repellent, bubbles and sidewalk chalk, for each family. Your guests will go home with great memories, lots of pictures of your spectacular soiree and a few goodies for their next outdoor adventure.

The grand marshal of the parade this year, back by popular demand, is “Miss G” known as the "Kazoo Lady of Woodstock". Abbe "Miss G" Graber has been singing the blues and playing a blues style wooden kazoo for over 30 yrs. Her company Woodstock Wooden Kazoo opened on the 40th anniversary of the original music festival in 1969 and each kazoo is handcrafted and resembles the beauty of the surrounding mountains. www.woodstockwoodenkazoo.com. Miss G's kazoos are owned and loved by many famous musicians and singers. The list includes such notables as Levon Helm, John Sebastian, Wavy Gravy, Maria Muldaur, Jim Kweskin, Leon Russell, Pete Seeger, Aaron Neville, Cindy Cashdollar and many more.

In addition, we will feature patriotic entertainment

by The Dream Kids and The Nazareth Fab Five Fest Friends. We will hear what independence means to some of our local veterans. There will also be a display of Miss G’s wooden kazoos available for purchase.

Sir Francis Newport, the head of an English infidel club, said to those gathered around around his his bed bed when when he he was was dying, dying, “You “You need need not not tell tell me me there there gathered is no no God God for for II know know there there is is one, one, and and that that II am am in in His His angry angry presence! presence! is You need not tell me there is no hell, for I already feel my soul slipping You need not tell me there no forever!” hell, for I already feel my soul slipping into its fires!

I know I am is lost into itshopelessness fires! I know Iand am dismay lost forever!”

The of that scene differs so vastly from Theoccurred hopelessness dismay of that scene vastly from what at the and death of Evangelist D. L. differs Moody so who caught a what occurred the awaiting death ofhim.

Evangelist D. L.from Moody who caught a glimpse of the at glory Awakening a sleep, he said, “Earth heaven openshim. before me. If this is death, it ishesweet! glimpserecedes, of the glory awaiting Awakening from a sleep, said, There is no valley here.

Pennsylvania dove hunters Urged to take part in survey The mailboxes of many of the state’s dove hunters soon will be flush with surveys the Pennsylvania Game Commission would like to see them complete and return.

tion’s flyway councils and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service – will be arriving at the homes of many hunters in the coming days and weeks.

A random sample of dove hunters will receive the survey, and will be asked about their experiences and opinions on dove hunting. Topics include hunter characteristics, time spent hunting, constraints to hunting, and thoughts about potential effects of spent lead from hunting ammunition on mourning doves and other wildlife.

Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe said wildlife agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service want to consider hunters’ opinions and preferences about seasons whenever possible. He said the survey results will complement science-based information for the management and conservation of migratory birds.

“If you are a dove hunter and receive one of these surveys, we encourage you to complete it and return it as soon as possible,” Roe said.

“That’s the only way to ensure the opinions of Pennsylvania’s hunters are included in this national survey.”

There are more than 1 million dove hunters nationally, with seasons in 42 states. Recent statistics for Pennsylvania show an estimated 16,700 hunters harvesting nearly 200,000 doves annually.

Mailings of the National Dove Hunter Survey began on June 20, and survey results will be compiled by the end of the year.

The survey initially was scheduled to be mailed last year, but unforeseen circumstances delayed the process.

D.A.R.E., Paws presentations Paws Aid for K-9 Unit Highlight of Council meeting

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Presentations by D.A.R.E. students and a check given for the police K-9 unit highlighted the meeting of Northampton Borough Council on Thursday.

Students from Good Shepherd Catholic School and Siegfried Elementary School read their winning essays in the D.A.R.E. program. They included Emily Slane, Olivia Geezi, Brooke Brida and Madison Saliedem. After they told what they had learned about the dangers of smoking, alcohol and drugs, their instructor, Police Chief Ronald Morey presented each of the former sixth graders a plaque. The course was given to 156 students at Siegfried and 30 at Good Shepherd.

Councilman Robert McHale noted that this is the ninth year that Northampton police have put on the program in the schools. The first instructor, former police officer and now Councilman, Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said what he misses most is working with the children and the people that he knows and respects as an officer. He complimented Morey for his work.

Paws on Canal The second presentation was given by Paws on Canal leaders Tom and Julia Glick and Candi Lynn. The event

was so successful that receipts were up by 124% this year, and 1,200 persons attended. Paws celebrated its 5th year with great weather, superb rescues and more than 90 vendors, and a huge amount of canines in pet contests and best-dressed contests.

As Mrs. Glick said, “Officer John Mullner and his K-9 partner ‘Zero’ wowed the crowd in demonstrating exactly what a K-9 officer does and showed what a tremendous asset to the community they are.” Another important past of the event was Terry Stanglein with a rabies and micro-chipping clinic.

A check for $5,015 was presented to continue the K-9 program with the police.

Farmers Market Carol Simcoe spoke about promoting the farmers market, which is expected to open on July 9 at a Main Street property the borough recently purchased. There will be a ribbon cutting. Two vendors they expect, plus local farmers and 4-Hers, are Egypt Star Bakery and a Topiary with honey bees and pickle barrels. She said Garry Hunsicker from the Bath Farmers Market is helping them.

Lopsonzski suggested local businesses should be invited to participate and offer ideas.

Councilman Tony Pristash said they need farmers. Mrs.

“Rep. Fortenberry’s amendment was a good amendment, an historic silver lining, in a farm bill that otherwise did not adequately reflect rural America’s most important priorities,” added Bruckner.

“The failure of this farm bill vote sends a clear signal that the Farm Bill needs much greater reform to achieve passage.”
