Travelers Protective Association Post L of the Lehigh Valley honored 17 high school students with altruism awards this past Thursday at a banquet in the Northampton Memorial Community Center.

The “A” in T.P.A. stands for Altruism – Helping others from the kindness of our hearts for unselfish caring acts. That’s exactly what all the students have shown, and for which they were honored.

Patricia Palencar, TPA’s secre-

tary/treasurer and chairperson of Altruism Awards, had asked the schools for help in finding hearing impaired students as Post L has a deaf and near deaf trust fund to help those individuals.

She served as emcee of the program. First to be introduced was Scott Hovan of Orefield, who told the large audience of students, parents and siblings how the local T.P.A. has helped him with money from their trust fund and the funds from the National T.P.A. hearing impaired organization.

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

It was announced at last Tuesday’s Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting that there will be an electronics recycling day this Saturday, April 16. It will take place at the Nazareth Intermediate School, Tatamy Rd. & Friedenstahl Ave. from 9 a.m. to noon. Moore Township is partnered with 10 other municipalities in the event. For additional information, go to www.mooretownship.org

Other business While the weather may not feel like it lately, another sign of spring is the clean-up that has started, said chairman David Tashner. The road crews will also be doing roads in May, and they are ahead of schedule due to the comparatively mild winter.

Judy Hartzel was appointed to the Recreation Commission.

The Historical Commission would like to see the Edelman School completely restored, and a member said they would like

residents to help in preserving more of the township’s history.

The commission is hoping to get county funds to work on Appalachian Park.

Solicitor David Backenstoe presented a scenario on how to preserve lands using E.I.T. funds.

He said if Wildlands Conservancy acquire lands, the E.I.T. money cannot be used. But if the township has an intererst in a property they can use the money to maintain it.

Lehigh Valley to host the 2017 AHL All-Star Classic

by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock) If there wasn’t enough buzz surrounding the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in recent days, with the arrival of top prospects like defenseman Travis Sanheim and forwards Oskar Lindblom and Nicolas Aube-Kubel to the organization, now the Philadelphia Flyers’ top minor league affiliate is on the national radar. Despite not qualifying for the 2016 Calder Cup Playoffs, Lehigh Valley will continue to be in hockey’s forefront leading up to the turn of the calendar year in 2017.

The American Hockey League

(AHL) announced Saturday that the PPL Center in downtown Allentown, Pa. - home to the Phantoms - will host the 2017 AHL All-Star Classic. The twoday event takes place on January 29-30 and is something that has been in the works for a long time according AHL President/CEO David Andrews, who addressed the media before the Phantoms’ Saturday home game against Bridgeport.

“We’ve probably been having discussions ever since the team came here about when we might want to do an All-Star Classic in Lehigh Valley,” Andrews said in

Northampton Exchange Coin toss raises funds Vs. child abuse

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The Northampton Exchange Club will have their annual coin toss this Saturday, April 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The members will be raising funds for the Prevention of Child Abuse. They will be stationed on Held Drive near Redner’s Warehouse Market. If it rains, the coin toss will take place on Saturday, April 23 at the same time and place.

At their April 6 dinner meeting in the Northampton Banquet and Event Center (formerly called the Northampton Memorial Community Center), the Exchange had a Service-to-Youth program recognizing and honoring the March and April girls and boys of the month from Northampton High School.

The March girl is Julia Skrapits, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Skrapits of Northampton. The April girl is Lauren Sterner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dwayne Sterner of Northampton.

The March boy is Noah Rindock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Rindock of Bath. The April boy is Michael Kovalchik, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kovalchik of Northampton.

The seniors all received a framed Youth-of-the-Month certificate, an engraved Lamp of Knowledge plaque, and a Northampton Exchange pin for their academic and scholastic achievements and their in-school and out-of-school service.

There will be no dinner meeting on April 20.

Thanks was extended to all club members, especially Rose Correll who helped make the recent spring craft fair a financial success. Money was raised to carry on with numerous community service projects.

a one-on-one interview with The Home News.

“As we moved through this year’s event and began to really think about where we ought to go, we had conversations with a number of our teams – in both the Western and Eastern Conference – and came to the conclusion that there’s kind of a calendar over the next few years that makes sense for us and the ideal time for our league,” Andrews added.

For the Phantoms and the Lehigh Valley, that ideal time is now.

“It’s not news to anyone to know how good this facility is, and the amenities around for hosting an event of this nature,” Andrews said of the PPL Center AHL President/CEO David Andrews delivered some big news Saturday -Photo: Nina Weiss/The Home News and the Allentown area, also ref- afternoon. erencing the proximity to other having their own team of All- beginning Friday night at home AHL cities like Hershey and WilStars competing in both 4-on-4 against rival Wilkes-Barre/Scrankes-Barre/Scranton in addition and 3-on-3 play.

Letters from our Readers submitted by BETTY FIELDS The old adage “and a good time was had by all” is certainly appropriate for the Nazareth Bath Regional Chamber of Commerce mixers. After six surgeries and nine months in Gracedale for rehab, I am indeed fortunate to be able to return to the chamber.

In December, the annual Christmas breakfast was hosted

by Moravian Hall Square with music provided by the Nazareth High School Brass Ensemble.

The door prices were unbelievable, food was delicious and the Christmas spirit prevailed.

January’s host was CF Martin Guitar and featured delicious food, intermingling and the museum and gift shop was open.

In addition, at the end of the month, True Perfection, a beautiful barbershop and hair and nail salon, had their grand opening featuring a ribbon cutting, door prizes and delicious food catered

by The Daily Grind. February’s mixer was held at the Best Western and was a Valentine’s theme.

A staff of friendly waiters and waitresses served Hors D’oeuvres and food. The event also featured music by a DJ. March’s mixer was the crèmede-la-crème. Perhaps because I am Irish and the mixer was held on St. Pat’s Day, but Alexandria Manor’s mixer in Nazareth was out of sight. Among a large variety of food choices was corned beef and cabbage. Suddenly the Quinlan O’Grady dancers appeared and delighted everyone with their spectacular Irish Dancing.

Having enlightened you on the wonderful events under the auspices of the chamber, it’s applicable to praise the chamber itself.

One of the main reasons for the success of the mixers is the mission of the chamber. Nazareth Bath Regional Chamber of Commerce has 450 members, includ-

ing small and large businesses and citizens interested in their surrounding communities.

Everyone is known by name and welcomed with open arms.

The annual membership dues are more than reasonable and all of the mixers are without cost to the members attending. It is a thank you from the host to the chamber and members for their services throughout the year. There are two events that are fundraisers each year, the clambake silent auction and the scholarship golf tournament. All proceeds from the tournament are utilized for yearly monetary scholarships awarded to a deserving student from our local high schools including Nazareth, Northampton and CIT. President Tina Smith and the chairman of the board, Lance Colondo are at your disposal at all times to answer questions or concerns and to assist with informing the public of your businesses.

Delaware & Lehigh Heritage Corridor to host Annual auction Submitted by TERRI MONSERAT The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) will hold the second annual D&L Spring Dinner Auction on Thursday, April 28, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Northampton Country Club.

The D&L works to connect all 165 miles of the D&L Trail and increase programming at the National Canal Museum, the D&L Spring Dinner & Silent Auction will be one of the year’s biggest fundraisers.

Guests will enjoy a lovely evening of bidding on some of the

region’s most unique items. The sounds of pianist Bob Riday will entertain them while they peruse the auction floor and enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Auction items include an original drawing by J. Davenport Studio of Jim Thorpe, antiques, art, gift certificates to local restaurants and shops, theatre tickets, assorted gift baskets and a seven speed cruiser adult bicycle donated generously by Cycle Fitters of Easton. This event has generously been sponsored by: Wilson Consulting Group, Weidenhammer, ESSA Bank & Trust, France Anderson Basile & Co, P.C., Northampton Community College, Morgan Stanley, Marmaras & Smith LLC, PNC, Daniels BMW, Simon Collins Architecture, Strauss & Associates, Wayne and Karen Achey, Waterfront Development Partners, Jim and Nancy Birdsall, Adams Outdoor Advertising and Working Dog Press.

Today, the D&L Trail connects people to nature, culture, communities, recreation and our industrial heritage.

Five tips for the queen of Facebook

One of my friends just opened a new business and business has been booming. It is too soon to measure the success, but it looks like they made really thoughtful decisions. Their location is great, their commitment to buying local is trendy and their affordable product is made fresh daily. No one in the area really does what they do, so they have a nice niche.

So, I was standing in line waiting for my freshly prepared free sample and a man behind me yells “Hey Carol! You’re the queen of Facebook!” I laughed, but thought that this free marketing tool must be working. Here are five tips for utilizing Facebook:

5. Experiment – You need to try new things and test the market. Review your stats to see when you get the most interaction.

Facebook is good for business, but you have to ask yourself if it is worth your time. Do people see you there? Are you gaining new business? If not, you may want to reevaluate your strategy.

Carol S. Ritter, past Presi1. Respond with gusto dent of the National Speakers People love videos, pictures and clever responses. Make it personal and interact with your audience.

2. Don’t sell – educate

You need to teach your friends what your business is.

3. Repost – If you check your statistics, you can see this works.

4. Share your commitment to give back – Let your

audience know you are a business with a generous philosophy.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip I hope this really cold spell we’ve been having is about over so we can get on with spring. It’s been freezing at night and I’m afraid all the plants that were put out on Easter have turned brown.

save their crops. Weather sure can be troublesome at times and we can’t do anything about it.

Frustrating to say the least! . . .It looks like the work to cut down bumps and cracks in the roadway is going strong all along Rt. 512 at last, with those strong lights on at night, and one way stop and go, as the state highway department gets ready to re-surface.

Question: What did we ever do without our cell phones and ipads and all the other high tech stuff that keeps people tapping their fingers or texting all day long and hardly looking up to talk to people one-on-one?? Give me the old days when we talked out loud or wrote letters or even read books. . . . Anybody remember where Jack Clarke’s barbershop and Schmutz Hackman’s pool parlor usta be – Or for that matter, “Doc” and Elsie Gilbert’s eatery??? . . . . Keep the Bath Area, Catholic, Little Moore, Nazareth, and Northampton Area Food Banks in mind if you have some loose change and some extra canned goods and other foods in the closet. . . .If it warms up this weekend, I reckon it’s time to hit the back yard and clean up the mess that winter usually brings.

See ya!

Are You Guilty?

The Bible clearly teaches that while God is entirely holy and sinless, we humans “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Our hope is in the truth “that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15). We are saved when we are willing to sincerely acknowledge our sins and confess them to the Lord as 1 John 1:9 declares, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

The reason why so many sinners fail to get saved from their sin is not because of any failure on God’s part for “he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness!” Rather it is because of the sinner’s pride—they are not willing to humbly acknowledge their sins and confess them to the Lord! They are not willing to admit their guilt before an all-knowing and holy God! The Prussian king, Fredrick the Great, was touring a Berlin prison, one day. The prisoners fell on their knees before him to proclaim their “innocence,” except for one man, who remained silent. Fredrick called to him, and asked, “Why are you here?” The prisoner replied, “Armed robbery, your majesty.” The king then asked, “Are you guilty?” To which the man replied, “Yes indeed, your majesty. I deserve my punishment!” The king then summoned the jailer, and ordered him to release that guilty man at once! He said, “I will not have him kept in this prison where he will corrupt all the fine ‘innocent’ people who occupy it!”

The same is true with God—He will forgive the sins of those who honestly and humbly admit that they are guilty and set them free, but He will leave in the prison of sin those who in pride adhere to their claim of innocence! After King David’s sinful moral failure he testified, “I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin” (Psalm 32:5).
