Bushkill Township celebrates 200th year

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Bushkill Township staged a festive celebration of its 200th anniversary on Saturday and culminated it with a sundown worship service on Sunday.

Pattie-Anne Finady, a member of the bicentennial committee that had been planning the event for the past 18 months, welcomed a large audience gathered on the recreational field Saturday morning.

Noting that the celebration was a milestone in the township’s history, she said they came to acknowledge the efforts begun by “our forefathers 200 years ago” when Bushkill Township was first incorporated in August 1813 as “a separate independent municipality “in Pennsylvania.

Mrs. Finady said that the

township is considered a “gem” because of its peaceful rural setting and open space that “allows us to live our lives and raise our children better protected from the stress, chaos and pollution of more encumbered living.”

The land known today as Bushkill Township was first called “The Plains.” The main occupation at the time was farming, and municipal meetings were held at the Odd Fellows hall in Aluta. Two claims to fame, Mrs. Finady said, were the Henry Gun and Martin Guitar factories. The township’s population in 1813 was about 1,000 residents and today numbers more than 8,200.

“Interestingly,” she said, “several of our residents still farm the same fertile soil sitting atop the shale and slate prevalent in our area since

the beginning of time.” The township has villages and hamlets that still remain, those of Cherry Hill, Jacobsburg, Bushkill Center, and Clearfield, each maintaining their own identity.

Part of the opening program was the dedication of a

Mrs. Finady continued her remarks: “These wonderful

Benefit for Kislow Family Friends of the late Robert Kislow have organized a benefit for his family. Robert Kislow served our country and received a purple heart for his sacrifice. He was a father, son, brother, grandson and to so many, a friend! Sgt. Kislow recently lost his battle with PTSD and made devastating choices.

Unless we have walked in combat boots, we are not to judge Rob, but to honor him for the man he was! For his children and their mother friends have organized a benefit so the family can start their new journey.

The event is being planned for October 5th from 12 – 7 p.m. at the Tri-boro Sports-

mans Club in Northampton.

There are currently three bands: The Don Hoffman Band, Social Call and About Time! DJ Hammer will be spinning tunes so the music will never stop. Tickets will go on sale next week $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

If you would like to help or know anyone who would like to donate a basket or gift certificate, please do so. Every bit helps to make this a huge success. There will be games, great food and drink. Allen John Saldi will have decals available as well!

If anyone has any questions or can help in any way, please don't hesitate to call 484-6616785.

Judith’s Reading Room donates 1,000 children’s books to St. Luke’s Judith's Reading Room donated 1,000 children's books to St. Luke's Hospital & Health Network to promote literacy amongst atrisk youth in the Lehigh Valley. 500 middle school books were hand-selected for the St. Luke's Medical Mobile van

that serves Broughal, Northeast, Raub and Trexler Middle Schools in Bethlehem and 500 elementary level books were chosen for three St. Luke's KidsCare locations in Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton.

nated six mobile library carts stocked with a total of 2,060 children's and adult books worth $20,927. Subsequent donations to refresh the carts since August 2011, notably to St. Luke's Miners Campus and to the St. Luke's Hospice House, brought the total to 2,761 books valued at $30,060.

The recent donation brought to a grand total 3,761 books donated by Judith's Reading Room to St. Luke's at a value of $38,060.

The significance of the recent donation is that Judith's Reading Room, like St. Luke's, is committed to beating "summer slide," which is when children completely stop reading during the summer months and "slide" back in grade level. According to the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA), children who do not keep up with reading lose approximately two months of the school year. Summer slide is even more prevalent in lowincome households because they do not have access to books. To help these households, Judith's Reading Room

Hope Lutheran Church

has teamed up with St. Luke's Community Health Department once again.

Judith's Reading Room, a nonprofit literacy organization with headquarters in Bethlehem, PA, was founded in 2010 in the memory of Judith F. Krug, who fought for the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech, believing that no one has the right to tell other people what they can or cannot read. Judith's Reading Room promotes "Freedom through Literacy" by providing custom libraries to organizations that serve people who, for any reason, have limited or no access to literature.

As of this date, Judith's Reading Room has dedicated 52 libraries in six states including two on board an aircraft carrier and in nine countries with a total donation of 57,364 books valued at $594,468.

Moorestown Garden Club Has 60th annual flower show Organized in 1953, the Moorestown Garden Club had its 60th annual flower on Saturday and Sunday, August 17 and 18, in the fellowship hall of Salem U.C.C. Church, Moorestown.

Jane Gilbert with the help of Penn State University organized the club and was its first president. They formerly met in the Star Grange hall at Moorestown, but when the Grange closed down, the gardeners moved over to Community Drive in Moorestown, at Salem U.C.C. Church. Mrs. Gilbert is still active with the club.

The current president, Linda Kortz, said they are one of the few garden clubs in which everything they show must be grown by the exhibitors.

Winners List These were the winning blue ribbon entries in the weekend show: Best of Show – Winning for

Horticulture was Joan Boccabella; Houseplants, Betty Tumpey; Arrangements, Linda Kortz, and Fruits and Vegetables, Evane Maher.

Sweepstakes winners were the following in these categories: Horticulture, Marianne Lesher; Houseplants, Betty Tumpey; Arrangements, Linda Kortz; Fruits and Vegetables, Lois Frye; and Club Project, Joan Boccabella and Karen Peterson.

Mrs. Kortz said the club has been extremely active in the community. Two of their achievements are supporting local food banks and giving a scholarship to a student of horticulture each year.

The club meets the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in Salem Church. They encourage both men and women who are interested in growing flowers and vegetable plants to join the club.

Grow UR Biz – Think Lucky

By CAROL RITTER

I’ve heard it all, the answers to the question - what makes an entrepreneur successful?

Strong people skills, belief in yourself, ability to motivate others around you, being money wise, self-confidence and the list goes on. But, do you need luck or does luck play an important role in your business’s success? Luck is described as success or failure brought on by chance rather than one’s own actions. Can you be successful without any luck might be the better question?

I luckily got an email from Artsquest the other week and noticed that the Drifter’s, who sing one of my favorite songs, “Under the Boardwalk” were coming to the Levitt Pavilion.

I luckily had the evening free and decided to go. It was a beautiful night, perfect seats and great friends. There had to be 4000 people there dancing, singing and just having a good old time. At the start they announced that they would be giving away a free CD and autographed picture of the Drifter’s to anyone who completed their survey.

I thought, ‘smart move.’ I’m a big believer in surveying your customers. The concert ended and I just about turned around to leave and I heard over the loud speaker, Carol Ritter, you won! OMGoodness, I won, am I lucky or was it just a coincidence? YOU DECIDE! According to Richard Wiseman, PHD, a professor at the University of Hertfordshire in England. “Luck, it is a way of thinking and behaving.” He insists that we have far more control over the element— and outcome—of chance in our lives than we realize. In fact, he argues that only 10 percent of life is truly random.

The remaining 90 percent is “actually defined by the way you think.”

Just maybe there is such a thing as a lucky person or maybe it’s just the fact that they grasp the wisdom of luck and they embrace it. As a business owner and entrepreneur, are you thinking good luck today or bad luck?

Microwave Tips One fact about microwave

cooking some ignore is the fact that pork and ham products should be simmered slowly. They should also be microwaved below vegetables, to prevent them from becoming dry. Simmer times can be as long as four to six hours.

A cheese stuffed meatloaf can be microwaved in 20 to 25 minutes and is a popular dish. Put meatloaf mixture in long glass bowl. A 1 1/2 pound mixture can be microwaved on Medium High (7) to about 170 degrees in 20 to 25 minutes. Remove meatloaf and let standfor 10 minutes before serving.

Comment On Sports

By Pete Fritchie

BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷ What might go down in baseball history as the most decisive series between two American League teams this year was the four-game series between the leader in the Central Division, Detroit, and the Cleveland Indians.

The Indians all season long have been just two or three games behind the Tigers, and

Indians fans were eagerly waiting this four game series in their home town. Many thought the Indians, who had won eight in a row, would be tough on the Tigers.

The opposite happened.

The Tigers won all four games, one with a four run ninth inning and another in fourteen innings.

To be swept at home in a four-game series was probably the death knell of the 2013 season for Cleveland.

The Tigers added these four wins to their eight-game winning streak, the first time in decades they had had such a streak. It could be a hint the Tigers will be in the World Series again this year.

Pennsylvania might Delist Bald Eagle

With its numbers in Pennsylvania continuing to soar ever higher, the bald eagle soon could be removed from the state’s list of threatened species.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Bureau of Wildlife Management is recommending the bald eagle be upgraded from “threatened” to “protected” status statewide.

Doug Gross, a biologist who heads the bureau’s Endangered and Nongame Birds section, addressed the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners at the board’s working group meeting on Monday, saying the bald eagle’s remarkable comeback in Pennsylvania has reached a point where eagles safely can be removed from threatened species list.

As of Monday, Gross said, 266 nesting pairs have been confirmed statewide so far this year. And while that count is not final and the number of confirmed nesting pairs still could rise, the updated figure represents the continuation of an upward trend in Pennsylvania.

In 2012, researchers documented 237 nesting pairs statewide.

“This year marks just another high point in the spectacular and widespread recovery of bald eagles in Pennsylvania, and it’s clear that the defi-

nition of a threatened species no longer describes them accurately,” Gross said.

According to Pennsylvania regulations, a threatened species is defined as one that, throughout its range in the Commonwealth, may become endangered in the foreseeable future.

The Bureau of Wildlife Management’s recommendation to delist the bald eagle as a state threatened species is based on eagles achieving a number of goals outlined in the state’s bald-eagle management plan.

The plan calls for delisting eagles as threatened if all of four criteria are met for five consecutive years. There must be at least 150 active nests statewide; successful pairs in at least 40 counties; at least a 60 percent success rate of known nests; and productivity of at least 1.2 eaglets fledged per successful nest.

Three of those criteria already have been met for a five-year span, and eagles in 2013 will exceed for a fifthstraight year the requirement of nesting successfully in at least 40 counties, Gross said.

Determining nest success is the biggest challenge in eagle monitoring and the agency welcomes information about the success and productivity of nests, Gross said.

The proposal to delist will be made formally to the Board of Game Commissioners at the board’s regular meeting in September. The board then could choose to vote on the proposal at a subsequent meeting. That process will afford the public with an opportunity to comment on the proposal, Gross noted.

Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe noted the proposal to delist comes in the 30th anniversary year of the agency’s first efforts to restore bald-eagle populations statewide. When the Game Commission launched its restoration program in 1983, only three pairs of nesting eagles remained in the state – all of them located in Crawford County, in northwestern Pennsylvania along the Ohio border. At that time, eagle populations had been decimated by the effects of water pollution, persecution and compromised nest success Continued on page 11

Graffiti artists face stiff fine If convicted in Northampton

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

On Thursday Councilman Robert McHale told fellow members of Northampton Borough Council that he is seeing numerous places where graffiti is defacing properties in town.

Councilman Tony Pristash suggested a $500 fine for any person caught and convicted for such incidents. Council

went along with that, and added that persons catching the vandals in the act could receive a $200 one-time reward if the offender is convicted.

Pristash also reported that pet owners are not cleaning up after their dogs in many instances. He cited it as a health hazard. Solicitor William McCarthy sees it more of a problem now than five

years ago – either there are more dogs or less responsible people. LeRoy Brobst told Council that Ordinance #916 covers the issue, and there is a $200 fine.

Other Matters • Council thanked Robert Weinhofer for his past services as director of the Northampton Recreation Center. He recently retired and Jason Kremus is the new director since July 8.

• Recently, Borough Manager Gene Zarayko, Yurish and Kremus met and recommended that the daily pass rate at the recreation center be increased. Some people are paying $6 and tying up the basketball courts for the regular season pass holders.

They recommended that on Monday thru Thursday the resident rate should be $6 and the non-resident rate $12.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the resident rate would increase to $10 and the nonresident rate $20. Kremus also noted that youngsters are being dropped off at the center, unsupervised, and are there early in the morning and not picked up until 5 p.m.

The recommendation: anyone under age 12, member or non-member, must have adult supervision, 18 or older, at all times.

• Boy Scout Ryan Haydt of Troop 72 presented keys to a kiosk in the municipal park that he made. Council president John Yurish thanked him for the project.

Another Scout, Nathaniel Treichler of Troop 93, asked

for permission to make a sign for the Northampton Area Historical Society at their railroad station headquarters along 21st Street. He showed a drawing of the proposed sign and said it would be his Eagle Scout project. The Northampton High School junior was given the okay. He will make the sign either this coming winter or spring.

• Councilman Robert Coleman’s report for Administration & Finance included these items: $65,000 was received from Monroe County casino funds, and the money was used to buy the Kroope property on Main Street. . . . $5,101.42 was received from Service Electric for its second quarter franchise cable TV fee. . . .Another check for $9,789 was received from Pa. DEP for the borough’s 2011 recycling performance grant. . . .Northampton County has given tentative approval for a CDBG application seeking $144,000 for barrier access removal on Laubach Avenue.

There will be a blacktop pathway from Laubach Ave. parallel to Smith St., which goes to the municipal park.

even though personally he is against smoking.

Police Chief Scott Fogel did have misgivings about the policy, saying that police can’t ignore it, but that they can’t legally enforce it either. However, he believes the vast majority of people will douse the cigarette if police ask them to do so.

Solicitor David Backenstoe’s solution for the police: “Just tell people we’re trying to endorse a smoke-free environment for the kids. And if the person doesn’t stop, then thank them for setting a bad example.”

In another matter, the township road crew will repave two streets in the Hills of Greenock development this fall, and plow snow from them this winter, now that the township owns the streets. The township sued Real Solutions at Greenock in August 2008 to get money for improvements in the development after the developer abandoned the project earlier that year.

Bald Eagle Continued from page 6

caused by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT. Three decades later, Pennsylvania’s booming bald-eagle population represents one of the great success stories in wildlife conservation history, Roe said.

“It seems that each passing year writes a new chapter in the story of the bald eagle’s success in Pennsylvania and the latest numbers, and the recommendation to delist the eagle as a state threatened species, is the best news yet,” Roe said. “But the story isn’t over. Pennsylvania has plenty of good bald-eagle habitat that’s not currently being used by eagles. And as the years roll on, I’m sure eagles will give us plenty more to celebrate.”

Gross said removing bald eagles from the state threatened species list would neither hinder eagle populations in Pennsylvania nor knock off course the species’ comeback here.

If the bald eagle is delisted, the bird will continue to be protected under the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (the Eagle Act), the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and the Lacey Act. Under the Eagle Act, those who harm or disturb eagles are subject to a civil penalty of up to one year in jail or a $5,000 fine for their first offense, and criminal convictions can result in fines as high as $250,000.

“We will not be abandoning the bald eagle, but giving it less emphasis as we turn to new challenges in bird conservation in the state,” Gross said.

The Game Commission, too, will continue to follow its bald-

Likewise, the commission will continue to urge those who encounter eagle nests to keep their distance, and not do anything to frighten the birds. The agency has recommended that people get no closer than 1,000 feet from any eagle nest.

Disturbances that cause adult eagles to fly from the nest could compromise the success of that nest. They are more likely to abandon a nest disturbed early in the nesting cycle. Additionally, eaglets can respond to frightening situations by trying to fledge the nest prematurely, and sometimes die as a result.

A wealth of information on bald eagles, where to view them and proper nest etiquette is available at the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state. pa.us by clicking on the bald eagle viewing icon, Gross said.

The bald eagle was delisted as a state endangered species and reclassified as a threatened species in 2005, when about 100 nests were confirmed statewide.

Especially when considering the sharp jump in eagle populations since then, it might seem hard to believe just how bleak the eagle’s future appeared just 30 years ago, when restoration began.

Initially, 12 seven-week-old eaglets were taken from nests in Saskatchewan and brought to specially constructed towers at two sites. At these towers – at Haldeman Island on the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, and at Shohola Lake in Pike County – the birds were “hacked,” a process by which the eaglets essentially are raised by

humans, but without knowing it, then released gradually into the wild.

In all, 88 bald eaglets from Canada were released from the sites as part of the program, which was funded in part by the Richard King Mellon Foundation of Pittsburgh and the federal Endangered Species Fund.

Today, bald eagles inhabit 56 counties statewide and they continue to push the boundaries of their range. Just this year, three pairs of bald eagles nested in Allegheny County, two of them within the Pittsburgh city limits.

Gross said that in addition to nesting along the state’s major rivers and lakes, bald eagles now are nesting along medium-sized high-quality streams with good fishing and alternate foraging areas.

“They are teaching us that there is a lot more eagle habitat in Pennsylvania than we imagined,” Gross said. “Eagles are adopting the kinds of quality places that outdoors people also enjoy.”

And with more habitat to be taken over, Roe predicts further growth will follow.

“It’s something of which every Pennsylvanian can be proud,” he said.

Commissioners meeting The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners will meet Monday, Sept. 23 and Tuesday, Sept. 24 in Westmoreland County.

The meetings will be held at the Lamplighter Restaurant, 6566 William Penn Highway, Delmont, Pa. The board will hear public comment and agency staff reports Sept. 23, beginning at 8:30 a.m. Individuals interested in offering public testimony – limited to five minutes – can begin to register at 7:45 a.m. on a firstcome, first-to-speak basis.

Then on Sept. 24, the board will take up its prepared agenda at a meeting beginning at 8:30 a.m.

A copy of the agenda for the upcoming meeting will be posted at a later date.

Monitoring eagle nests The Game Commission has relied on volunteers in its efforts to monitor bald-eagle nests statewide, and the support of volunteers will be needed more than ever as the agency attempts each year to compile an increasingly comprehensive list.

Perhaps the easiest way to report a nest is to contact the Game Commission through its public comments email address: pgccomments@pa.gov, and use the words “Eagle Nest Information” in the subject field. Reports also can be phoned in to a Game Commission Region Office or the Harrisburg headquarters.

Friends Again

It’s too good to believe. Too wonderful to comprehend. Too marvelous to put into words. That the holy, most high creator of all things valued me enough to restore my friendship with him.

The first couple had it made. Walking in the beauty of the garden first thing in the morning hand-in-hand with El Shaddai. (What a dynamic prayer time!) They were given free access to every tree in the entire garden but one. (That’s a lot of grub to choose from!) And there was no embarrassment in their complete transparency with each other. (Wow! No sin; no shame.)

Jack & Jill’s (a.k.a. Adam & Eve) discontented rebellion set off repercussions of pain and severed relationships. Women now scream in childbirth. Men sweat profusely at work and come home completely exhausted.

Both hide from God. Men and women are at one another, jockeying for position. Brothers are jealous of each other and angry enough to kill. Grief. Frustration. Piercing regret. You get the picture.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

The Father who gave us all things to enjoy freely wanted it to stay that way. And we blew it. Well, they blew it for us. And now we have this: Neck-vein-bulging prejudice. Cut-throat competition. Mutilation over soccer matches. Tirades over traffic. Lies creatively presented. Sneaking behind one another’s backs. And everybody fighting for their ‘rights’.

What rights? The only right I have after what I have done with what God has given me is a slow, shameful, excruciating death. Add a cross, and appropriate punishment can be meted out.

But the wrong one is fastened to the stake. The rebels have been released, and the righteous One is bleeding.

And pleading. For us.

You see, our creator-father remembers. The garden.

The walks. The laughter. The harmony. The complete satisfaction. And he wanted it back. All of it.

There was only one way. Substitution.

You cannot put to death the ones with whom you desire restoration. It’s hard to have fellowship with corpses. But someone had to pay the price. Someone had to take the hit. And someone did. God did. God in man clothes took the hit we deserved so we could have the life we once had. With him.

Friends again.

That’s the way God wants it.

A 1957 graduate of Nazareth High School, she was previously employed by Binney & Smith, and she also worked as a CNA, having earned a degree in social services. Most recently, she was employed as a caseworker for the Monroe County Area Agency on Aging, where she retired after 17 years of service.

Born Sept. 28, 1939 in Nazareth, she was a daughter of the late Preston and Helen (Hayden) Ervin.

Surviving are two daughters Beth Ann (Loquasto) Stewart of Canal Fulton, Ohio, and Michelle Loquasto; a son, Michael Loquasto II; two brothers, Preston “Pep” Ervin, and Gene Rader, all of Nazareth; and five grandchildren.

Preceding her in death were two sons, Thomas Gabriel Loquasto and Jeffrey Loquasto.

Services were held on Tuesday morning in the Schmidt Funeral Home, Nazareth, with the Rev. David B. Schaeffer officiating there and at burial in Northampton Memorial Shrine, Palmer Township.

Memorials may be offered to the Sunshine Fund, c/o the Monroe County Area Agency on Aging, 724 Phillips St., Stroudsburg, PA 18360; the I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is VNA Hospice of St. Luke’s, the lamp of experience.

community.”

Another part of the ceremony was the releasing of a dozen homing pigeons by Kevin Jany and his daughter Olivia.

They were raised by Yany’s father, John, who died in 2012.

Mrs. Finady said the pigeons represented unity, good will, new beginnings, prosperity, freedom and peace, “a symbolic representation of how Bushkill Township is aloft on the wings of hope and optimism, sometimes just gliding along, maintaining balance and equilibrium when navigating clouds of uncertainty, and never forgetting the character of this wonderful place we call home.”

Bill Brackbill, a member of the committee, introduced members of the Board of Supervisors – chairman Brien Kocher, vice chairman Jason Smith, Julie Bender, Caroline Hill and Howard Kostenbader.

Citations and resolutions were presented to Kocher by

State Rep. Marcia Hahn, from Gov. Tom Corbett and Cong.

Charlie Dent, and State Senator Pat Browne. Northampton County Councilwoman Peg Ferraro presented a plaque from the county. Letters of commendation were also read from U.S. Senators Bob Casey and Pat Toomey and County Executive John Stoffa, all stressing the good character of the township and its people.

The ceremony concluded with remarks from Kocher, who noted that Bushkill Township was incorporated 37 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and from Smith, who remarked that 1,000 acres of land has been preserved in the open space program.

On July 21 at 6:40 p.m., Amanda Sue Hineline, 20, of Nazareth, was being driven home by Gregory Steven Baron, 20, of Bethlehem. During the course of travels they engaged in an argument which led to the defendant grabbing and squeezing the victim’s left leg. A non-traffic citation was issued to the defendant.

The incident happened along Route 22 at the off ramp to Route 191.

Know The Weather How big is the eye of a hurricane? Is it true that the eye is sometimes completely clear while for hundreds of miles on each side the sky is filled with clouds?

The eye of a hurricane is never more than a few miles, usually less than five. It’s true that sometimes in the middle of a great storm--in the eye, so to speak--the sky overhead will usually appear blue.

Winds will calm down and for a few minutes a strange stillness will descend--with roaring winds just a few miles distant in all directions. This is the very center of the circular motion of the winds (counterclockwise), the hub of a great blowing circle.

The lull soon ends when the winds return--they are from the opposite direction--and often just as strong as before.
