Northampton student winner In “There Ought to Be a Law” Bullying and alternative energy were the focal points of the winning ideas submitted in State Rep. Julie Harhart’s annual “There Ought to Be a Law” contest. It was for 4th, 11th and 12th grade students in her 183rd Legislative District.

Rep. Harhart holds the contest as a way to promote interest in government among young people by asking them to provide suggestions for state laws they’d like to see enacted.

This year’s fourth grade winner is Robert Grecu, a student at Col. John Siegfried Elementary School in the Northampton Area School District. His idea is that all governmentowned buildings should be run on alternative energy sources.

Robert’s teachers are Mrs. Jamie Horvath and Mrs. Tammie Tacker.

The 12th grade winner is Keri Lindenmuth, a student from Whitehall High School in the Whitehall-Coplay School District. Keri’s idea focuses on the repercussions of bullying. Her teacher is Mr. Joseph Krempasky.

“I look forward to this contest each year to learn what our young people think make good laws in the Commonwealth,” said Rep. Harhart. “I’m always impressed by the level of thought and research that goes into the entries and the many

ROBERT GRECU great ideas shared with me. It’s obvious the kids are very in tune to the problems facing our state and came up with creative ways to address them.”

She continued: “Robert and Keri each did an excellent job on their essays. I applaud all of the students who entered the contest, and encourage them to join in the fun again next year, when more great ideas will be selected and introduced as legislation before the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.”

Each of the winning students will receive a special visit and tour of the state Capitol to see the General Assembly in session and Continued on page 3

fenses.

The Delaware River is wellknown for being a popular fishing location, and one which unfortunately sees its share of poaching of highly sought-after fish such as steelhead and striped bass.

I am hopeful this legislation will be signed into law and serve as a deterrent for this kind of criminal activity.

It has been more than a decade since penalties within the Fish and Boat Code have been reviewed. The time has come to take a tougher stance on illegal activity by sportsmen in Pennsylvania waters who are getting nothing more than a ‘slap on the wrist’ for crimes they commit.

Equal Rights?

The Marine Corps recently announced that it would begin putting female Marines into combat. The equal rights momentum so strong in this country, the Corps felt forced to pretend this was responsible and sensible.

We can never admit to any differences in this country. Everyone is equal (they are not, of course, but should be entitled to equal rights and treatment). Women, after thousands of years of male combat only, are now equalized by letting them go into combat and get killed!

In physical combat, seldom in this age but possible, women are at a disadvantage. The word is they will fight only with guns and sophisticated weapons but that cannot be guaranteed. But everyone is equal so let women die too in the front lines. Progress!

Preventing Fish Poaching

By State Rep. Marcia Hahn 138th Legislative District

I am a co-sponsor of legislation which would toughen the penalties for fish poaching in Pennsylvania. House Bill 2293 was recently passed by the House Game and Fisheries Committee and may now be considered on the House floor.

The legislation creates a new category of offenses in the Fish and Boat Code for serious poaching incidents. It also takes into consideration the taking or possessing of fish by illegal methods, and, in both cases, slightly increases fines for certain summary of-

Opinion Reducing the Number of Special Elections

By State Rep. Tony DeLuca On May 8, the House of Representatives swore in six new members, all elected in special elections held in conjunction with the April primary elections.

Four of the six will not serve beyond November 30 of this year because they failed to win their party’s primary election. All six of the vacancies occurred because sitting members of the House ran for other offices last fall, in the middle of their two-year terms. Since then, two additional vacancies have occurred in the House.

Every time special elections are called, they can cost Pennsylvania taxpayers in excess of $175,000 for each election.

Additionally, when members of the General Assembly leave midterm it often results in their constituents going unrepresented for months.

For these reasons, I have introduced legislation (H.B. 2340) which will put an end to the practice of public officeholders running for one office while holding another or from running for two offices in the same election cycle.

My legislation will not affect the current election cycle but I am concerned about the avoidable cost of special elections.

My legislation will not prevent someone from seeking higher office but it would require a candidate to resign from one position in order to seek another, if the terms of the two positions would overlap. The proposal also would end the practice of candidates seeking two offices in the same election cycle.

It would cover elected positions at the local, county and state level, including those for congressional seats. In addition to the General Assembly, in recent years we have seen appointments to fill incomplete terms of the state Trea-

surer and the state Attorney General. This was the result of people choosing to seek higher office while still holding another elected office.

I realize that this could be inconvenient for those who use one public office as a stepping stone to another. I know this will not prevent anyone from resigning a position to run for higher office but I also realize it is long past due for the cost and the confusion related to unnecessary special elections and interim appointments to end.

Also, at a time when government is being asked to do more with less, I think this is an easy call. Allegheny County and the City of Philadelphia already require office holders to resign from a public office if the holder intends to seek a different elected public position.

There is a risk associated with running for any elected office. First-time candidates often do not have a job that is as flexible as it could be for the purpose of seeking an elected office. Many times challengers are forced to take leave that has no guarantee they

will be able to return after an unsuccessful campaign. It is past time that sitting elected officials should face some risk in trying to seek another office.

I am hopeful that this discussion can be a part of efforts to "reform" Pennsylvania political campaigns.

Rep. DeLuca represents the 32nd legislative district in the state House of Representatives.

Correction:

The Bath Fire Co. Social Hall recently donated $1,000 toward the renovations needed at the Keystone Park Pavilion. The money was donated to make necessary repairs caused by the late summer flooding in 2011. (In the story, we correctly reported last week that the $1000 was for the pavilion after confirming that with Boro secretary Linda Hahn - Unfortunately that copy was changed afterward.)

We apologize for incorrectly noting that the donation was made for an unrelated project.

After almost a week of clouds and rainy weather, the sun finally came out on Thursday and it was fairly nice for Mother’s Day, too. I hope all of the gals had a wonderful day. Now let’s hope the skies are clear again on Friday as the farmers market opens for the season down at Keystone Park. From what I read in last week’s paper, they’ll be having 15 vendors. It’s early in the season, so the full harvest won’t be quite ready, but there’s always plenty of things to choose from, so head on down there and buy, buy, buy! . . . .I see the Bath Lions were out along 512 on Thursday, picking up litter that motorists throw out their windows. They do a great job, and deserve a pat on the back, which they might need after bending over so many times. . . .Also heard they would be up at Mike Schmalzer’s place that Saturday helping out with the Moore Township Lions when they had a fishing day for blind people. They had breakfast BEFORE putting worms and power bait on the hooks, I’m sure. . . .Don’t forget, folks, this Saturday, the 19th, is community yard sale day, and on both Saturday and Sunday, Fi and her crew will be taking in used clothing and shoes up by My Place. . . .

Shouldn’t be too much longer before the traffic cones are taken down and the paving is finished for the three lanes down by Schall’s truck repair, Phillips Feed, the shopping mall, H&R Block, and the RV business. Gets a little scary when you’re squeezed into two tight lanes as big tractortrailers come along and make you feel little and vulnerable. . . . Fire Chief Bob Solderich, Mayor Tom Reenock and some other volunteers have been doing some great work with that memorial plot over in Northampton that was in last week’s paper. They’re praying for more sunny days, though, if they want it all

done in time for Memorial Day on the 28th of this month. . . .Those Phillies have been struggling this year with one problem or another. Ye Ed watched the Braves games down in Atlanta and says they look so well balanced they might go all the way this season. They put a roadblock in the way of those St. Louis Cardinals last weekend. . . .

Big events coming up soon are the youth field day over in Stockertown and Kreidersville covered bridge festival on the 2nd of June and the soccer games over in Nazareth on the 3rd. . . .See you all around town this Saturday, a bright and sunny day, cross your fingers.

The Bath Farmers’ Market will mark its fourth season when it opens on Friday May 18, at 3 p.m. at Keystone Park in Bath. The season will run from May 18 until September 28, every Friday from 3 -7 p.m. The market will host new and veteran vendors offering fresh, locally grown produce and handcrafted soaps, garden items and more. Some of the vendors to look for at the market this year include; Twin Maple Farms, Graver Farmstead, Keepsake Farm and Dairy, Natural Alternative Soaps, Scholl’s Orchard, Dreamville Bakery, Terra Fauna Farms, Moravian Star Bakers and Covered Bridge Farm.

Fresh food will be available each week from Daily Grind in Bath.

With a slogan of “Get Fresh of Friday” the Bath Farmers Market helps shoppers celebrate the freshness of the locally grown and produced goods – meats, cheese, breads, fruits and veggies. The market will host live entertainment, family events, basket raffles and activities for kids throughout the season. And

Chicken Fried Steak the Whole Family Will Love “This one is diabetic safe, but low calorie it AIN’T!” Paul Bushay

C

Mesa, AZ (Pop. 427,939)

hiken fried steak is an all-time favorite in my household, so it’s a bonus that this delectable recipe also comes diabetic approved! Truth be told, before finding this recipe I couldn’t imagine the words “diabetic” and “chicken-fried steak” ever appearing in the same sentence, much less in the same recipe! This one sure does live up to all my chicken-fried expectations, though. The steak preparation is cut and dry (pardon the pun), and Paul Bushay’s gravy really takes it over the top. Serve with mashed potatoes or corn bread, and you have a real down-home meal that your entire family is sure to love.

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

The Man You Want To Be

Recently, I started reading a new book entitled Kingdom Man by Dr. Tony Evans, an evangelical pastor. Dr. Evans resides in Texas and for some thirty-five years has been active, to say the least, in Christian faith based ministries.

He currently serves as chaplain for the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Cowboys.

What struck me about the opening chapter was his bluntness and candid perspective on what it means to truly be an honoring man of God, a kingdom man. Living by faith, obedience, and love.

In one particular discussion he asks “Men, when your feet hit the floor in the morning, does the devil say “Oh no, he’s up”?

Now this week’s article is not a book review although I would recommend it to every male in earshot, nor is this week’s article solely about my strong convictions of faith.

It’s about one person…..you.

Let me explain.

While reading this book, I keep coming back to the startling and somber fact that today’s men are just not that healthy. They aren’t. It isn’t something I state lightly.

Please do not take offense.

Being a real man far exceeds the physical; yet is nevertheless an important aspect on many levels of wholeness.

The sad trends clearly students inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta, the national honor society of freshmen, at a ceremony held recently on campus. Inductees are fulltime students maintaining a grade point average of 3.5 or above who rank in the top 20 percent of their class.

Following is a list of local students inducted into the freshmen honor society at the Jesuit university.

Ryan Bisio of Nazareth is majoring in international studies, Jayde Hooven of Northampton is majoring in biology, Courtney Ruch of Nazareth is majoring in occupational therapy.

demonstrate that as a nation we are generally no better off than we have ever been. If we even consider using the pharmaceutical companies gross revenues as a benchmark with sales that are well into the billions and multi-billions just for the cholesterol shame alone, I think you begin to see the point.

I know that after many read this article I will be challenged as to the bluntness of that discussion yet if Dr. Tony Evans can be forthright with millions I can step out and attempt to reach a few thousand in our area. My hope is some are ready to take heed.

Getting back to this book, I am straining to perceive how we guys can truly be the men God calls us to be if the majority of us don’t even want to or can hardly get out of bed.

our day, our lives.

How are we to guide and counsel our families, mentor youth, be pillars of the community if we are not able to guide ourselves? How can we offer up sage advice to others if we don’t take the advice for ourselves? None of us are immune to our natural desires and ways; however we need to face our shortcomings and sickness head on or it will face us every day for the rest of our lives! More medicine is not the answer either.

Gentlemen, we do not need to live a life of lack, weakness, sickness, or solitude. Clarity of thought, strength of the physical, able bodied all the while fulfilling YOUR purpose is what we are called to be and continually develop into.

Having clean water, vegetables, good protein sources, healthy oils, and a portioned helping of whole grains on a regular basis keeps us healthy. So do deep meaningful relationships. A little exercise cannot hurt either. I recommend this as a staple part of each of our lives.

Becoming the man I want to be and the man you want to be doesn’t happen overnight. Getting sick and getting healthy also doesn’t happen overnight. Both scenarios actually take effort to achieve.

I would like to encourage every man, all ages, to step up and do what they can do for themselves. To take sole responsibility for their health, their actions, their impact on those whose lives they touch.

Best wishes to all.

Over the years the Beasties released eight, always innovative and diverse albums, to varying degrees of commercial and critical success. Yauch was the quiet, moral center of the group, becoming a devout Buddhist, organizing concerts in support of a free Tibet and denouncing the misogynist and boorish lyrics in his early work.

The Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame only weeks before Yauch’s death. He was unable to attend the ceremony.

Donald “Duck” Dunn of Booker T & The MGs Bassist Donald Dunn, who played with some of the most revered musicians of the last century, died in a Tokyo hotel room after playing a show in the city. Dunn was 70. The bassist, both solo and as a member of Booker T & The MGs backed greats like Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty and countless others.

Many people might recognize Dunn as the bass player who backed John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in the 1980 film the Blues Brothers and toured with the band in the late 70’s/ early 80’s.

That Thursday morning, a few of the members took part in the Adopt-A-Highway litter pickup along Rt. 512 in and north of Bath. The club has been doing this project for more than 10 years.

They participated with the Moore Township Lions Club when there was a fishing event for clients of the Center for Vision Loss on Saturday, May 12. It was held in the pond at the home of Lion Charles Schmalzer. Lunch was provided the volunteers and the blind and sight-im-

paired adults and children.

When the Bath 275th Anniversary Committee has its community yard sale this Saturday, May 19, the Bath Lions will have a tent set up in front of St. John’s Church on E. Main Street. They will be selling two types of American flags and provide literature to people interested in what Lions do in serving their communities, the blind and hearing impaired.

Lion Bill Falstich announced that Lauren Reinert, a graduating senior at Northampton Area High School, will receive the Lions’ annual scholarship of $250 after she completes her initial college studies.

The Lions will again have a bingo concession at Northampton Community Days July 12, 13, 14 and 15, and at the Muhlenberg Hospital Festival on August 15 to 18.

The local club is also planning to participate in the gazebo project at Keystone Park.

But due to their commitment to the bingo at Muhlenberg, it is doubtful that they will participate in the Bath anniversary parade on August 18.

Guest speakers for the program were Alan and Patricia Christ of Berks County, who brought with them more than a dozen quilts dating

from 1830 to 1950.

The couple has a large collection of quilts that they’ve accumulated by traveling to quilt shows in Pennsylvania, Ohio and even into the New England states. They are members of several quilt societies. As they remarked, “We live in a quilt-rich area.”

They showed various kinds of quilts – some put together with as many as 10,000 squares and others all of one set.

Know The Weather

What is the machinery of the weather started by the sun?

It’s the heat of the sun which changes the weight of air, thus creating move- ment.

Cold air is heavier than warm air. When the sun warms the earth and the convection effects warms the air from below, this lightens the air which is warmed.

It then rises and cold air, from above or from one side, moves in to fill the space left by the rising warm air. This is a breeze or wind current, and it can grow into quite a force.

On seafronts, or lake shores, this process is what makes the daily sea breeze. That’s created when the land is heated faster than the water. As the air above the land rises, it pulls in cooler air from over the water (sea breeze).

Air currents also create clouds, which can produce rain; air movement thus plays a major role in our weather.

Good Shepherd Catholic School Has first D.A.R.E. graduation

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Eighteen sixth grade students at Good Shepherd Catholic School in Northampton were the first of their class to graduate from D.A.R.E. after having 10 weeks of instruction under the guidance of Northampton Police Chief Ronald Morey. The program was held in the basement of Queenship of Mary Catholic Church.

Each of the students re-

ceived certificates, while the three best essays were read by the two boys and one girl who wrote them.

Following opening prayer by school Principal Irene Quigley, Chief Morey told the parents in attendance that the boys and girls learned friendship as well as dealing with drugs and alcohol and the determination to resist them.

Mayor Thomas Reenock said he enjoys coming to the graduation programs.

SAVE SOME GREEN, PART III Our final installment of money-saving tips for lawn care seems like an oxymoron: Purchase a concentrated weed-killer formula. It may seem pricier, but it can cost about $4.00 per gallon when adding your own water versus $23.00 per gallon for ready-to-use products.

He welcomed the parents and commended the teachers, noting that the D.A.R.E. program provides building blocks in the character of the children. He advised the students to travel in pairs, and said the police are available for help when needed, and to talk with them.

Chief Morey, who has been working with D.A.R.E. for the past eight years, then introduced the three essay winners: Timothy Gribb, first place; John Kaintz, second, and Natalie Becker, third.

Each of them received stuffed lions, the largest going to Gribb.

Morey said he gets funds for the program from the lo-

cal VFW and the Borough of Northampton, helping to provide T-shirts and materials. Noting that at first the children were timid when seeing a police officer, now they welcome him.

The certificates were presented by sixth grade teacher Mrs. Carol Fryling.

Included in the class were the following: Zach Brodeur, Samuel Cadman, Joey Gallina, John Kaintz, Mia Molnar, Giovanni Recchia, Jack Strini, Alexus Tewold, Gabby Thomas, Nathan Andrew, Natalie Becker, Tim Gribb, Cross Heintzelman, Olivia Hertzog, Tyler Loch, Rachel Sottolano, and Dylan Stoudt.

On Thursday, May 24, Chief Morey will again lead a graduation ceremony for D.A.R.E. students at Col. John Siegfried Elementary School in Northampton.

Oberly said dirt is piled as high as his house. ‘It’s a residential neighborhood, and shouldn’t be like that.”

Supervisors Chairman Paul Balliet said the soil is within parameters set by the state and it is in an industrial zone.

The soil was checked by Pa. DEP. The residents claimed that filling in a quarry is land reclamation and not industrial.

THE HOME NEWS May 17-23, 2012 bother him, except for the noise when dumping. Oberly said the quarry has been there since 1895.

He continued that trucks are parked there overnight, and get their loads from New York and New Jersey.

Supervisor Bruce Frack noted that one annoying part of the operation is the accumulation of mud that is building up on Savage Rd. Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell suggested that the township talk to the owners of the quarry and tell them that they have a problem, especially with noise.

The township doesn’t have anything on the books about hours of operation. Treadwell pointed out that road use can’t be restricted unless there is an engineering study. There was one made on March 9, 2011, in which PennDOT said the road has to have an adequate turning radii, but he sees nothing that would prohibit the trucks using the roads adjacent to the quarry. A previous case of objection was thrown out of court.

Frack said he counted as many as 50 trucks that went down Willowbrook Rd. A resident also questioned about guardrails at Howertown Park, and if they are good enough to protect children from the truck traffic. He also suggested that perhaps a ball flying through the area could hit a truck windshield, causing the truck driver to crash.

Book Sale To benefit Make-A-Wish®

By Alice Wanamaker The Home News

Kendall Ohrwashel, a senior at Nazareth Area High School, along with her friends and family, is once again hosting a neighborhood book sale to support the Make-A-Wish foundation of Greater PA. The family has done so for the past five years and over that time, they have sold all types of books including children’s books, adult books, fiction, and non-fiction and have raised over $20,000 for MakeA-Wish®.

Kendall got the idea to help raise money for charity, and sick children specifically, in the summer of 2007.

She didn’t want to spend another summer just hanging out and after recovering from rheumatic fever herself, she was determined to give back.

With the help of her mother, she decided to sell summer reading materials at unbelievably low prices and donate all of the money to Make-A-Wish Foundation. “We had no idea how much support we would get from the community! We had sooo many book donations that we made just over $2,000 that first summer,” Kendall said. The sale has grown over the past five years and last year they raised nearly $5,000 and donated an additional 10,000 books to charity.

With the book sale scheduled for June 21st, 22nd and 23rd Kendall and her family are now collecting books, either old or new for this year’s sale. The only books that they are not collecting are encyclopedia sets, textbooks and Reader’s Digest condensed

Picture taken during the book sale last year shows all the friends who came to help that day, and the little girl whose wish they raised money for at last year’s sale.

– Contributed photos version books.

The sale this summer will be on June 21st from 5-8pm and June 22nd and 23rd from 9am-2pm, at 143 1st Street in Farmview Estates, Upper Nazareth (located between Nazareth Area High School and the Intermediate School off Tatamy Rd). All books will be priced at .50-$1 and all the proceeds from this year’s sale will benefit and assist the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania, Pottsville Regional Office in granting the wish of a local child.

You can find out more about The Make-A-Wish Foundation at www.wishgreaterpa. org.

You can help by donating books, telling your friends, and marking your calendars to come shop at the sale in June. Book donations are being accepted now and can be dropped by at the location

above and left on the front porch. Happy reading and hope to see you in June! Following June graduation, Kendall will be attending Shippensburg University and majoring in Early Childhood Education.

MONEY raised last year helped this little girl.

Life with Fufillment May and June are exciting months for many young people. They eagerly anticipate walking across the stage to receive their diploma and head out into life with greater independence. Whether these graduates are heading off to college or embarking on a career, their minds are filled with high hopes that life will bring the enjoyment and success that society promises. Sadly, many find the opposite to be true. Life’s pleasures leave them empty and success eludes them in a vicious job market. As for many people, young and old alike, the question remains; how can life have fulfillment?

If I could summarize my advice to these young people with high hopes for the future, it would be: don’t live for yourself, but give of yourself for others. I truly believe that those who find the most meaning in life are those who think of others before they think of themselves. Jesus Christ provided a selfless example for us in His own life as he lived on this earth. He expressed the very purpose of His coming in the following statement, for even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Jesus wasn’t expecting everyone else to do for Him; instead He was doing for them. In the final act of His life, Jesus gave Himself willingly on the cross to die in our place. His death was for our sin so that we could have the forgiveness of sin and the gift of eternal life. The apostle Peter said, for Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. Friend, if you will accept Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation from the condemnation of sin and then begin living for the needs of others, you will find a life with true fulfillment. off at the Station on Thursday, May 31, and Friday, June 1, from 6 – 8 pm each day.

Hist. Society Continued from page 7

tween 1861 and 1865, 250,000 quilts were donated to soldiers in the Civil War to keep them healthy.

Quilting was done in England, and didn’t begin in America until about 1830 when a man came over from there, and with knowledge of quilting in his head, began to teach others here how to make them. The English didn’t want competition over here. Applique quilts were unique to this area of Pennsylvania with its Pennsylvania German heritage.

They noted that red and green were the dominant colors in early quilts. But after the Civil War, brown was used and took on log cabin patterns. Various kinds of stars were used in design patterns, and an outstanding one they showed was made in Berks County. Two of the quilts came from Perkiomen Valley and a Mennonite farm in Lancaster. “You never see duplicate quilts. Designs came from friends or neighbors or from agricultural fairs,” they said.

whole floor of their home dedicated to quilts. Concluding their program, Mr. and Mrs. Christ told the audience, “We’re passionate about our quilts, and we’re trying to preserve history.”

Swan thanked members of the Governor Wolf Historical Society for their countless hours they put into the recent antique show the society held, their biggest ever.

A decorative crock was presented to past president Jan Semmel for all of her efforts in making the society successful as they carry on restoration projects that preserve the history of this area.

In 1980, the Pennsylvania State Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation recognized Earl with the Roger A. Latham Outstanding Volunteer Award for his innovative habitat training workshops. In 1996 he was inducted into the Pennsylvania Turkey Hunter’s Hall of Fame for his lifetime contribution to safe hunter education, hunting, and wildlife conservation.

Employed by the National Rifle Association’s Hunter Services from 1982 to 1996, Earl worked as a staffer in support of the association’s Hunting and Wildlife Conservation Advisory Committee.

He developed the award-winning Advanced Hunter Skills Training program, organized the Youth Hunter Challenge program, and served on the National Turkey Hunter Safety Task Force.

Since 1996, Earl has been employed by the Izaak Walton League of America as director of chapter relations.

He trains volunteer leaders to conduct viable local conservation projects and advocacy.

He has served on the Boy Scout of America National Conservation/Environment Committee and the Dr. William T. Hornaday Conservation Award Committee for the past decade.

Since 1995 Earl has also been a member of the Leesburg (Virginia) Town Tree Commission. As commission chair, he implemented—with Town Council’s approval— the Urban Forest Management Plan that aims to protect, preserve, and reclaim the community’s tree canopy.

Earl authored Wild Turkey Hunting—more than 250,000 copies sold—and is an outdoor writer published in many regional, state, and local publications including Insights, Pennsylvania Sportsmen, American Hunter, and Outdoor America.

Earl is a member of Tau Phi Delta Fraternity and has served as Penn State Alpha Chapter’s student vice president, as a member of the fraternity’s alumni board of directors, as assistant editor of

the fraternity’s alumni newsletter, The Taproot, as secretary of the Grand National Chapter, and as editor of The Cones of Tau Phi Delta.

During the School of Forest Resources Centennial Celebration in 2007, Earl assisted with fundraising and the silent auction, proceeds of which benefited the school’s student clubs and organizations. He is a Penn State Alumni Association life member and an annual contributing member of the Nittany Lion Club.

Earl’s other life memberships include the Izaak Walton League and the National Rifle Association. He is a supporting member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the National Wild Turkey Federation, the Pennsylvania Forestry Association, and the Virginia Urban Forest Council and Arbor Day Foundation, and a charter member of the Twin Valley Hunting Club in Potter County, Pennsylvania.

Locally, he’s a member of Piedmont Environmental Council, Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy, Moose Lodge #1041 and St. James Episcopal Church, and volunteers as a hunter education instructor for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

While he resides in Leesburg, Virginia and works in Gaithersburg, Maryland, he spends most of his spare time in Pennsylvania: hunting, hiking, white water rafting, attending Penn State football games, and visiting with friends and family.

The School of Forest Resources Outstanding Alumni Award was first awarded in 2001 to recognize outstanding School of Forest Resources’ alumni and to foster closer relationships between the award recipient and students, faculty, staff, and other alumni. The selection criteria for the award include professional achievement, excellence, impact and recognition; service to the profession, to the School of Forest Resources, and to the community; and demonstration of high personal and professional standards.

limit his hours of operation, and that mud needs to be cleaned up on Savage Rd. In the end, Balliet told the residents, “We’ll look into it.”

Other Matters • With one member of the road crew retiring, there had been a recommendation that part-time worker Thomas Frack (no relation to Supervisor Bruce Frack) be elevated to full-time with his 18 years of experience. However, no action was taken at the public meeting, and it was discussed as a payroll item in executive session.

• A softball group wants to use fields at the park for practice, but other teams also want to use the field, and with a schedule it was agreed they should work together to each find time for play/practice.

• In regard to restroom facilities at the park, Township Manager Ilene Eckert said prices are being sought on port-a-lets. Frack suggested magnetic timers for the restroom for opening and closing. That facility is at one end of the park, and players are at another, so the port-a-lets would be more accessible.

• A low bid for re-doing the roof of the municipal building was approved from a Freemansburg firm for $16,750. Asphalt was an item, but Frack noted that it could be subject to fungus on the

THE HOME NEWS shady side. Composite tongue and groove was also noted.

• There was a request by the Allen Township Youth Association to extend the fencing at the main playing field, but the board said they should come in to talk it over in person.

The fence is now 8 ft. high for 30 ft. and 12 ft. high for 25 ft., Holmes said.

• The board agreed to pay Omega Homes $3,905 for Willow Ridge sidewalks, out of a large escrow account.

• The April report of the Allen Township Vol. Fire Co. showed 80-3/4 alarm manhours; 144 training hours; 23 alarms (1 airport alert, 3 auto accidents, 2 accidents with rescue, 1 automatic fire alarm, 8 brush fires, 4 dwelling fires, 1 structure fire, 2 unreported control burns, and 1 wire/ pole fire).

Senate bill restores Funding for early Childhood education

The Senate passed a $27.6 billion budget for Fiscal year 2012-13 on Wednesday, which reaffirms Pennsylvania’s commitment to education at all levels and for vital programs that benefit counties and thousands of citizens, according to Senator Pat Browne.

“I am especially pleased that Senate Bill 1466 restores the state support for early childhood education programs to their current levels,” said Senator Browne, cochairman of the bi-cameral, bi-partisan Early Education Caucus. “We all recognize the importance of programs like Pre-K Counts and Head Start and the benefits they provide to children, families, schools and communities. The money we’re investing today will be more than repaid over the coming years as the young people participating in these programs receive the mentoring that will enable them to become productive members of society in the future.”

Senator Browne actively worked to ensure that funding to restore Pre-K Counts ($4.1 million) and Head Start ($1.8 million) to their FY 201112 level was included as part of the restorations in SB 1466.

SB 1466 reaffirms Pennsylvania’s commitment to providing young people with a quality education from the youngest ages through their college years. SB 1466 maintains state support for Pennsylvania’s state-related universities, State System of Higher Education schools and community colleges at their current levels.

The budget bill also includes additional support for local school districts over what the Governor proposed

THIS IS WHAT the yard sale looked like in 2011. Like then, it is a benefit for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. (Story on Page 10.)

– Contributed photo in February. SB 1466 adds more than $132 million in support of education, which includes $50 million for basic education and $50 million for Accountability Block Grants.

Senate Bill 1466 also reinvests significant funding to help counties and local agencies provide essential social and health services and programs for Pennsylvanians with physical and mental disabilities, senior citizens and families.

The bill restores $84 million in funding for the various programs that would be bundled under the Governor’s proposed Human Services Development Block Grant.

Under his proposal, funding for multiple county admin-

istered programs would be consolidated into a single block grant.

SB 1466 restores $20 million ($10 million state/$10 million federal) in funding for vital Community Mental Retardation and Intellectual Disability programs that assist thousands of Pennsylvanians and their families on a daily basis.

The bill now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration. The current fiscal year ends on June 30.
