Willkommen Austauschschüler aus Gladenbach, Deutschland!

By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

Northampton Area School District welcomed the arrival of German American Partnership Program exchange students last Friday at the high school. The students, who are staying with various host families throughout the district, are spending time in class, with their host families and out to play in our town. The students are still a little jet lagged from the 8 hour time difference. Their days are full of Northampton fun, they visited Martin Guitar earlier this week and have plans to visit Philadelphia, New York City and Washington DC while they are here. The students will be here for three weeks, leaving on April 11. Then in June/July of this year, students from Northampton Area School District will be visiting their

The name Lindenmoyer is well known in Northampton for all the good members of that family have done, both in the borough and in the school district. But this past Tuesday, 33-year-old Todd S. Lindenmoyer brought shame as, in an apparent fit of anger, he allegedly shot and killed his brother-in-law following an argument. Lindenmoyer was arrested shortly after the incident Tuesday afternoon, March 20, telling Northampton police that he “shot my own family.” Northampton Police Officers George Walsh and Glenn Deist arrived in separate patrol cars minutes after Lindenmoyer called 9-1-1 at 2:09 p.m. to report the shooting. The officers found 24-yearold Edward A. Kimak of Ca-

tasauqua lying on the kitchen floor of the Lindenmoyer home at 735 Washington Ave., Northampton. That section of Washington Ave. is south of 10th St. separate from the portion of Washington Ave. that ends at Laubach Ave. State Police have taken over the investigation, and Lindenmoyer told them he shot Kimak with a shotgun burst to his chest. The shotgun was found on a hallway shelf in the home. According to published reports, Lindenmoyer’s wife, and Kimak’s sister, Leah, saw their brother-in-law and brother shot. It was not known what provoked the argument, for Kimak had come to the home to help Lindenmoyer. Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek pro-

nounced Kimak dead at 3:30 p.m. and said it was a homicide. Lindenmoyer was arraigned Tuesday night before District Judge Joseph Barner in Lower Nazareth Township and committed to Northampton County Prison without bail on a charge of murder. A preliminary hearing was held this Wednesday before Northampton District Judge Diane Marakovits. A news conference was held at the State Police Bethlehem Barracks, led by Capt. William A. Teper, Jr. Another published report was that the victim’s father, Edward P. Kimak of Moore Township, was arrested last June for operating a methamphetamine lab, and was sentenced in October to two to four years in Northampton County Prison.

German friends’ home in Gladenbach, Germany. So far, neighbors and students have been very welcoming to the exchange students. If you get a chance to talk to one of the students, be sure to say “Hallo”, we hope you enjoy your stay!

Letters from our Readers Prosperity Can’t Come with Borrowing

To the Editor: This letter is in response to one attributed to Ron Lowe of Nevada City, CA in the March 15-21 Home News. In his letter, he speaks of President Obama’s “real” economic recovery. Since he hails from California, which used the same approach to economics that our nation has, he should know better. Borrowing their way to prosperity failed miserably on the west coast,

and it will fail for all of us. We all know how easy it is to live a good life when we spend more than we have, but when the debt collector comes to call, as he always does, we find that the years of easy living were not worth the cost. This President (and his Republican predecessor doesn’t get a free ride on this issue either), has allowed us to amass $15 trillion dollars in debt. That has made the economy look Continued on page 3

March 22 was UN World Water Day, and this year’s focus is on Water and Food Security. While the U.S. faces very different water security issues than developing countries, we would do well to take stock of the resources we do have and what we can do to keep them secure into the future. In the Delaware River Basin, we are fortunate to have exceptionally clean, affordable, and reliable supplies of freshwater today, from drinking water in our homes and businesses to water used for industry and electricity generation. Of course, many fish and wildlife depend on this clean water too -- trout, bald eagles, shad, and rare freshwater mussels, among others. In addition to a certain president’s famous crossing of the Delaware, its storied history includes extensive deforestation at the turn of the last century that degraded streams, and major pollution from industrial growth. The forests grew back, the Clean Water Act and other legislation cleaned up much of the industrial pollution, and the Delaware River Basin Commission has pioneered interstate watershed management that has become a model for other regions. Today the Delaware faces new challenges that necessitate new solutions.The abundant forests in the upper portions of the Basin-which are largely responsible for the region’s high quality water and dependable stream flows-Promotional prices start at just

are being lost again, this time to urban development. While some important forests are protected as public lands, most of the land in the upper Basin is privately owned by families. The majority of family woodland owners in the region are near or beyond retirement age, and many face escalating medical expenses with lower incomes. The lands they own are especially vulnerable to being subdivided, sold into a mix of nonforest uses, and fragmented by new roads, pipelines, and utility transmission corridors. In addition, many of these landowners lack the resources to effectively conserve and manage their forests. And finally, these private woodlands provide no income for the public services they provide--such as clean water--so conserving these forests is not as profitable as cutting down trees or selling the land. These forests filter out sedi-

ment and nutrient pollution, slow down stormwater runoff, and recharge streams and groundwater. Loss of these forests degrades water quality and worsens the effects of flooding and droughts. Studies have linked forest conservation in headwaters areas with lower treatment costs downstream. In one study, for every 10 percent increase in forest cover in the headwaters, water treatment costs decreased by 20 percent. It is prudent to invest in the existing forests across the Delaware basin now, rather than waiting for water quality to decline and being forced to build costly new infrastructure to take their place. In addition, studies have shown that maintaining forest cover is an important strategy for adapting to climate change and more variable precipitation patterns in the future. Family woodland owners in the upper Delaware basin have limited resources to conserve and manage their forests in the face of these threats. Recognizing this gap, coupled with the River’s value to millions of people, a remarkable partnership of more than forty organizations has come together to protect the Delaware River watershed. Called “Common Waters,” the partnership has created an innovative program to protect forests in source water areas called the Common Waters Fund. The Common Waters Fund is coordinated by the Pinchot Institute for Conservation on behalf of a regional partnership of more than 40 public and nonprofit organizations and agencies. The Fund provides incentives to qualifying landowners and land trusts to supplement water-friendly forest management practices and conservation easements. These activities protect water quality by enhancing the health of forests, improving the finances of forest ownership so families can afford to Continued on page 7

Flowers are blooming and trees are budding and blooming, too. It’s really spring now!! But it got a little colder Monday night, when there was a scare about plants being frozen. I don’t think it was too bad though, and Nature has come alive! It sure was windy all day, 45 miles an hour, but it is March and that’s what March is known for. . .This Saturday and Sunday there will be hundreds of kids and some of their parents lining the banks of the Monocacy Creek here in town for the trout contest the Bath Area Fish Committee has every year. From what I read last week, they planned on stocking 500 trout. Since it hasn’t rained for quite a while, the water’s probably gonna be low and clear. Let’s hope the weather is nice. Good luck, kids!! . . . . Hats off to the kids at a Northampton school last week that raised more than $6,500 by collecting pennies and other change for other kids

that are sick with leukemia. . . .Welcome to the 24 students who have come over from Germany to study at Northampton High School and stay with some local families. It’s great when there is an exchange like that and the youngsters can see how people live in other countries. . . . Gas prices keep going up and up, and before we know it, will cost $4.00 a gallon! . . . 512 is getting wider down around Scholl’s Truck Repair, Phillips Feed, H&R Block, the mall, and the RV store, no doubt to make way for all the big tractor trailers coming and going from warehouses in that area. . . . Only a couple more weeks till the big leagues baseball season gets started. I know fans are rooting for the Phillies, but with their injuries again, it’ll be a miracle if they win the division. Anyhow, with all the changes in the leagues, it oughta be another real interesting season. I can’t wait!!

THE HOME NEWS dollars as “stimulus,” not so that employers can get loans to grow and hire, but so that they can buy more of the nation’s increasingly worthless debt. For now, we only feel a little pinch, as the goods we buy cost more and more as the dollar becomes worth less and less. No one who runs a household believes that inflation is in check, regardless of the bogus reports we get monthly as the Consumer Price Index. That pinch will become a significant squeeze when America’s large creditors (i.e. China & Japan) demand a greater interest rate before they buy more of our debt. When that occurs, so much of our tax dollars

will be needed to pay interest on the debt, that little will be left to pay for public services we now all treat as our “rights” and “entitlements,” rather than the privileges that they are. No one has ever remained prosperous by borrowing more than they can pay back. America is no exception. That is the primary reason why this president must be replaced with someone more willing to make the hard decisions needed to return us to fiscal sanity. This is not a partisan issue. It is an issue of national responsibility. Blake C. Marles, Esquire Bethlehem, Pa. PA003267

Grow Your Small Business Position Yourself By CAROL RITTER

Have you ever heard someone say, “I didn’t know you had a business”, or “I didn’t know you did that!” Everyone needs to know what you do. Is that literally possible? Probably not but you can decide and you can plan to double, triple or even quadruple your audience (future buyers) by positioning yourself as an expert. Here’s an example...Flo... does that ring a bell with you? Recently, I filed a claim with my homeowners insurance. It was handled poorly, communication was a big zero and the claim is still open after 8 months. I decided after months and months of seeing Progressive insurance on the internet, billboards, television commercials and Flo, she even has a Halloween costume, I would ask for an insurance bid. They positioned themselves everywhere, better yet they act like experts and they treat you like they can’t live without your business. What a novel thought! You too can position yourself as an expert. You already know what your niche marketplace is based on your service or your product capitalize on that. Carol’s Top Ten Ways to Position Yourself as an Expert. Let’s use a Florist as an example; •Become a Guest Blogger for Martha Stewart. •Brand your Business Personality - become known as “The Store with Flower Power”. •Get your Message out -forums, press releases, newsletters, web video and podcasts reach out to like-minded websites offering services at no charge. •Coin your Philosophy Flowers Color the World. •Solve Clients Problems remind them of all the ways flowers can be used, email buyers on special days or holidays. •Select a “Best Selling Item” and promote it make it popular. •Title Yourself- being the Owner is not very glamourous but President, CEO, or Chief Arrangement Officer (smile). •Praise-collect and ask for testimonials let others say how great your product and service is. •Teach-create Flower School teach people how to make flower arrangements or teach at your local community college. •Product - to complete your journey of positioning yourself as an expert you need to sell stuff and have people pay for your expertise - e-books, become a speaker, presentations, consulting, coaching and MORE.... A diverse small business with lots of revenue streams is always a good idea. May-

be it’s time to be PROGRESSIVE!!

By Pete Fritchie

BASEBALL✷ ✷ The acquisition of Prince Fielder has focused major attention on the Detroit Tigers, who many predict will win their division in the American League and probably the league title, go to the World Series. That’s because Prince

Fielder and Miguel Cabrera are probably the best hitting twosome in the league. Less has been heard about the Los Angeles Angels. But the Angels acquired the player many consider the best in the Majors--Albert Pujols from the Cardinals. The Angels are playing spring training games in Arizona and Pujols has looked good--no surprise. The question is whether the Angels have the same odds in their division as Detroit--Texas being a powerhouse some feel a superior team. A pertinent question is whether Texas or Los Angeles will win the 4-team western division.

Opinion Continued from page 2 keep their forest as forest, and permanently protecting forests with conservation easements. Funds are prioritized to areas most important to maintaining good water quality and steady stream flows. By making strategic investments in priority areas of the upper Delaware River basin, the Fund helps all water users minimize the risks and costs associated with water pollution, floods, and drought. Now is the time to fully appreciate and understand the current state of our freshwater resources in the Delaware, and to work together to invest in the existing natural “green infrastructure” that has gone undervalued for too long. Many other parts of the country and the world have not had the luxury to make such far-sighted investments as we can today in the Delaware, and now they face difficult and costly challenges to provide adequate supplies of clean water to their people. We know what can happen if we do not act. The Common Waters Fund is a practical solution we are developing together with many partners to address the growing challenge of protecting water resources in the Delaware River watershed.

History at Library The Northampton Area Public Library has a collection of books and pamphlets concerning Pennsylvania, its cities and towns, churches, families and more. There is a collection of Northampton High School yearbooks from 1915 to 2009. The Book of Merit lists Pennsylvania residents who have received the Purple Heart. If you’re a railroad buff you’ll love the books on the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Some of you may remember The Pennsylvania Primer from school and will enjoy looking through it and reminiscing. There are also books on Northampton, Bath, and the various townships in the area. All of the items in the Pennsylvania Collection can only be used in the library but many of the same items are in the circulating collection.

Recently I spoke from Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and of a good courage; be be not not afraid, afraid, neither neither be be thou thou dismayed: dismayed: for for the the LORD LORD thy thy God God is is with with thee.” thee.” The The word word “courage” “courage” means means to to be be stedfastly stedfastly minded minded and and strong. strong. It is bravery, boldness, fearlessness, and fortitude. The text states that It is bravery, boldness, fearlessness, and fortitude. The text states that this courage comes through knowing God is with you! this courage God is with you! Moses sent comes 12 menthrough to spy knowing out the promised land and specifically Moses sent men to good spy out the promised land and Ten specifically instructed them12 “be ye of courage” (Numbers 13:20). of them instructed them “be ye of good courage” (Numbers 13:20).

THE HOME NEWS

March 29-April 4, 2012

Rev. Edwin Schwartz Immaculate Conception Church, Allentown

God Shares His Life with Us! By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share in our humanity. Isn’t it amazing how these few words, spoken quietly by the priest just before the Eucharistic Prayer, capture the heart of the gospel message? Every time we gather for Mass, we ask the Lord for mercy, we hear the word of God, we pray for one another, and we offer our thanksgiving and worship to our heavenly father. But at the heart of the Mass is the promise that by receiving Jesus’ body and blood, we are actually receiving a share in the divinity of Christ! Everything else we do either leads to this moment of communion, or it flows from it, as the source of our hope and our faith. These few quiet words also confirm for us the teachings of St. Athanasius, who wrote: “God became man so that men and women could become God.” This is why Jesus came to us, and it is why he died and rose for us. But we have to be clear about one thing: The process of divinization is a possibility and a privilege. It doesn’t happen automatically simply because we are baptized or because we receive communion. Every day, we have to choose to let God’s grace work in us. We have to decide to yield to the Spirit, to seek God in prayer, and to say: “Not my will but yours be done.” Sun 8/9:30/11am M , Sat 4:30pm M Daily Mass at 8:30am ST.

Fishing license sales are up over 20% from last year, so you can see anglers are ready to go. Good fishing, everyone! –– including the youngsters who will be heading down to the Monocacy Creek in Bath for the annual contest sponsored by the Bath Area Fish Committee this weekend. After Mayor Don Wunderler blows an air horn, it’s “drop your lines” time. The contest goes on Saturday and Sunday. Those fishing down along Main Street will find a different setting now that all the streetscape work has been completed at Monocacy Creek Park.

vote was taken at first based on all of the 22 points, it was defeated again. But the officers found that at the last convention the delegates had voted to vote on each of the 22 passages separately, and so that was done in a re-vote on Sunday. There were “no” votes cast by some of the delegates, and a lot of abstentions for those who thought they didn’t have enough information. But John Barry of DRSFA gave a full explanation of each and every point on Saturday at the Fish Committee meeting, and he did an excellent job. Of those provisions that were defeated were (No. 2) a proposed American Shad Stamp at $5 and a Delaware River permit, $10, to generate funds, and (No. 13), elimination of walleye

and musky fry and fingerling stocking in the Lehigh River, the predators that gobble up shad fingerlings. Votes were also split on a “no fracking zone” in the Delaware River Basin by Marcellus shale drillers, and urging legislation to prevent fracking wastewater from being dumped into the rivers and streams until it’s tested for radioactivity and carcinogenic compounds. But, by and large, it was a victory for the DRSFA, and their efforts to involve people, schools, sportsmen’s clubs, conservation organizations, state and interstate agencies and federal agencies about the American shad migratory problems and increasing shad spawning populations to self-sustaining levels in the Delaware River Basin watershed.

After three tries, the Delaware River Shad Fishermen Association’s resolution to boost the shad population in the Delaware has found success. It was passed on Sunday by a majority of the delegates attending the Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs spring convention in Scranton. There are 22 points made in the resolution. The vote didn’t come easy, however. When the

tary School recently participated in the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® MathA-Thon program and raised $2,510 to help kids battling cancer and other deadly diseases. “We are so proud of our students for embracing Math-AThon and raising critical funds for St. Jude,” said Jarad Haupt, coordinator of the event.“Every dollar raised will help support the St. Jude mission of finding cures and saving children in communities worldwide.” Since its inception more than 30 years ago, Math-A-Thon has become one of America’s largest education-based fundraisers. More than 10,000 schools across the country participate in the program every year. Math-A-Thon is also one of the most successful fundraising campaigns for St. Jude, having raised nearly $400 million since its inception. Math-A-Thon allows students to build and practice essential math skills while they raise funds for kids battling cancer at St. Jude. The program works in the following way: Teachers serve as volunteer coordinators for Math-A-Thon at their school. Participating students solve math problems in a printed or online Funbook. Students ask family and friends for donations in support of their participation in the MathA-Thon. All donations are sent to St. Jude, where no child is ever turned away because of the family’s inability to pay. St. Jude has teamed up with Scholastic Inc. to make MathA-Thon a more valuable resource for teachers as they prepare students for standardized testing. The print and online versions of Math-A-Thon Funbooks contain colorful activities developed by Scholastic. The activities support National Standards and are aligned to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) focal points for each grade level from K–8. The online version of the Funbook allows students

to complete grade-specific activities like those offered in the print version but in an engaging game format that tracks points for the student. For more information on

Police Blotter Colonial Regional Two Robberies – One in Bath

Colonial Regional Police are investigating two robberies that were committed within 15 minutes of each other, and believed to be by the same person, on Thursday night, March 22. One of them was in Bath. At approximately 11 p.m., a man wearing black sneakers, white socks, red shorts, a black hooded sweatshirt, and black mask entered the Turkey Hill mini mart at 6020 Sterners Way, Hanover Township, and demanded money. He left the store with an undetermined amount of cash. He didn’t display a weapon. Then at 11:15 p.m., the same person entered the A-Plus mini market at Main & Walnut Sts. in Bath and demanded money. Again no weapon was shown, and he left the store with an undetermined amount of money. Anyone with information is asked to call CRPD at 610861-4820 and ask for Detective Sergeant Melinsky.

Pair Charged in Bath Drug Arrest

Officers from Colonial Regional Police, Bushkill Township Police, Lehigh Township Police, and Bangor Police, acting under authority of the Northampton County Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at 127 Old Forge Dr., Bath, at 1 p.m., Thursday, March 22. Joan Cosentino, 49, of that address was charged with delivery of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and possession of a controlled substance from an incident last Wednesday, March 21 when she allegedly sold seven prescription pills for $15.00 to a confidential in-

formant at her home. She was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Barner and committed to Northampton County Prison on $7,500 bail. Cleo Otero, 26, of 255 Rinker Rd., Northampton, was found in possession of three packets of heroin and syringes. She will be charged by a summons with possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia. Found inside the residence were various forms of drug paraphernalia used to injest heroin and marijuana, empty heroin packets and a baggy that contained suspected methamphetamine. Charges are pending for the items found inside the Bath home.

Accidents and D.U.I.

CRPD responded to the report of a disabled vehicle at the intersection of Stoke Park Rd. & Shelley Lane in Hanover Township on March 3. The responding officer spoke to a witness who related that he saw Michael O’Sullivan, 45, of Lord Byron Dr., Bethlehem weaving back and forth on Stoke Park Rd., then hitting a curb that flattened both passenger side tires. Other witnesses said that O’Sullivan appeared to be disoriented, confused or under the influence of something as he got out of his car and walked around. As the officer spoke to O’Sullivan he smelled alcohol on his breath, his eyes were bloodshot, and the man couldn’t maintain his balance. When questioned, O’Sullivan was uncooperative, and asked if he had been drinking, he walked away. He refused to comply with the officer’s orders and had to be restrained. O’Sullivan submitted to field sobriety tests and failed. He was taken to the Bethlehem DUI Center and released to the staff. His BAC count was 0.30%. Charges were filed

through DJ James Narlesky’s office. On March 8, CRPD responded to a motor vehicle accident in the 3900 block of Hecktown Rd. at 8:21 p.m. The officers found a car on its roof in the middle of the road and the driver, later identified as William Brown, 22, of Field Dr., Bethlehem, lying in the road next to the car. Brown stood up and started to walk around as officers approached. When they spoke to him, they smelled alcohol on Brown’s breath, saw his red glassy eyes, and unsteady balance. Brown was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital by Bethlehem Twsp. EMS for a medical evaluation. It was determined that Brown had struck a brick wall in front of 3932 Hecktown Rd., causing the car to roll over. An officer went to St. Luke’s, requested a legal blood draw, and the results showed his BAC at 0.22%. Charges were filed through DJ Joseph Barner.

Drug Arrest in Lower Nazareth

found to be under the influence of alcohol and showed signs of impairment on field sobriety tests. He arrested for suspicion of DUI then became belligerent with police. Smitreski was transported and released to the Bethlehem DUI Center. Charges will be filed with DJ James Narlesky pending alcohol testing results.

ter. Charges will be filed at DJ James Narlesky’s office for DUI and careless driving pending the test results. Hanover Twsp. Fire Dept., fire police, EMS, and Bethlehem Twsp. medics responded and two lanes of traffic were closed on Schoenersville Rd. for 45 minutes.

Retail Theft

CRPD charged two 15-yearold Easton boys with summary retail theft at Wegmans in Lower Nazareth on March 23 at 7:20 p.m. Security saw them remove items from a shelf and conceal them, then trying to leave the store. They were taken into custody, cited and released. Total value of the merchandise: $164.00.
