Northampton High School students Present birthday gift of a lifetime

by HANNA O'REILLY We all remember our senior year of high school. For someit may have been unforgettable.

However, John Fox of Northampton’s experience may have just topped us all.

On Tuesday, Nov. 6, Northampton Area High School Senior John Fox celebrated his 18th birthday with some of his close friends. What he didn’t realize was that these nine Northampton High School seniors had a big surprise up their sleeves.

Fox has been a Philadelphia Eagle’s fan for most of his life.

“He loves the Eagles-he is very passionate about that,” said mom

No One To Thank?

We often equate success with wisdom--but Jesus told of a wealthy, successful farmer who was a fool! Why did Jesus call him a fool? Because he failed to acknowledge that God had given him that which he possessed (Luke 12:15-21). A “self-made man” does not feel the need to express gratitude or appreciation to anyone other than himself since, in his foolish conceit and pride, he is blinded to the truth that his achievements and accumulated riches are directly attributable to God and others in his life.

An old miser once grumbled, “I do not have to thank anyone for anything I have! Everything I have I got the HARD way--by the sweat of my own brow!” His neighbor responded, “But who gave you the sweat?” The old miser hung his head in guilty silence. He could not ignore the fact that God had given the “sweat”--the strength to work hard and gain material wealth.

If the successful but foolish farmer had just taken a moment to think--He would have thanked! Who made the seeds that he planted? God. Who made the ground that “brought forth plentifully” (Luke 12:16)? God. Who gave the rain and sunshine? God. Yes, this man was a fool to think he alone was responsible for his success. No wonder the Bible says, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God...” (Psalm 53:1) What about you, reader friend? Have you thought of all God has done for you? For what will you thank Him this Thanksgiving?

House 5 on Gov. Wolf Historical Society’s Christmas House Tour

By CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN

The Governor Wolf Historical Society will open six private historic homes and four early buildings for the 38th Annual Christmas House Tour on Saturday, Dec. 1. The homes will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. This year’s theme is “Keep a Candle in the Window,” a German custom that welcomed travelers. The Home News will feature one of the homes each week until tour day. This two-story house, known as the Newry, was constructed

in 1785 by Jacob Bender. It was built into the hillside and features plank floors, deep windowsills, tall ceilings and stone fireplaces.

As you walk through the house, note the two-sided fireplace in the living room. The hearth from the original kitchen is on the ground floor. Open original beams grace the dining room and ground floor. Old glass panel doors provide another distinctive touch.

Jacob Bender built an unusual feature into his springhouse.

Since relatives had been captured

by Indians in a raid, he included a trap door in the springhouse, where the family could hide in case of danger. The main and lower levels of the house and the springhouse will be open for the tour.

On the same day, the Annual Historic Christmas Family Day will fill the campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum hosts an exhibit of early lighting with expert Wayne Lauciusto. Historic craftsmen will demonstrate, the 153 Civil War Coddington Reenactors will be encamped. Taste and watch hearth cooking, spinning and weaving, iron crafts, early powder horns and flintlocks, and more, such as pony rides and arts and crafts for children. Make this a yearly family destination. No parking or admission fee. A freewill donation may be dropped into our “Preservation Jars” if you wish. The Daily Grind in The Schoolhouse Café will offer food to take with you on the tour, or to enjoy there. There will also be quality crafters selling their wares and fresh greens. In addition to selling fresh wreaths and swags this year, the historical society will be holding a Fresh Wreath Making Class on Monday, Nov. 26 from 9 a.m. to noon. Complete a large fresh wreath with a bow of your choice for $25. Instructor is Linda Kortz, past pres-

Land Preservation Pleased with Open House Turnout

By HANNA O’REILLY

The Moore Township Land Preservation board was ecstatic at the turnout at their 2018 Open House on November 8th. Laura Baird of the Heritage Conservancy gave a great presentation and informed residents on the various processes that preserving land entails and their importance. The board has already received applications from interested residents: 40 acres on West End Road, 26 acres on Mountain View Drive, 13.71 acres on Monocacy Drive, 12 acres on East Scenic Drive, and 90 acres off North Road. The board will be reviewing applications before making any further motions. They hope to have as great of a turnout at their next open house.

Board member Peter Locke proposed plans to clarify the preservation process and its costs.

Board members collectively agreed that they want a plan that ensures more “early-on commitment” from residents preserving land. They plan to discuss options with clarifying the preservation process before making any final decisions.

To date, Moore Township has 36.5 farms preserved, amounting to 2,209 acres.

Eagles fan

Continued from page 1

Sherri Ann of Northampton.

Longtime friends, Phil Vooz and Max Martinez, know how much football and the Eagle’s specifically mean to Fox. Vooz reached out to John’s mom Sherri and a group of their friends about purchasing two tickets to the Dec. 23 game (Eagles Vs. Texans) for Fox’s birthday. The students took all of the initiative by themselves, making the gift all the more special.

Fox was in study hall on Tuesday, Nov. 6, when he was given a pass to go to another classroom.

With little details as to why, Fox was confused. However, like the good student he is, he followed what he was instructed to do.

Upon entering the classroom, Fox was greeted by some of his good friends with Happy Birthday wishes, before informing him of their idea to buy him the Eagle’s tickets. They were also able to score passes to the sidelines for pre-warm up and the opportunity for Fox to receive any jersey of his choice. Ecstatic Fox couldn’t believe his ears.

Sherri explained how surprised he was at the more than generous gift he was presented with. “He never asks for anything,” Sherri

mentioned, making Fox the perfect recipient of this gift.

Sherri Fox also added that her son wants to be a sports commentator one day. What a better way to kick start his dream than at Lincoln Financial Field on December 23? Fox will never forget this awesome birthday.

Grow UR Biz Soft skills

By CAROL RITTER I may not have said it in the past, but my friends know I admire Mark Cuban and love watching him on Shark Tank. First, he’s a thinker - he takes his time and usually is the last Shark to jump in the deal. He has instincts because of his extensive experience that are generally right on.

As global career development expert Soulaima Gourani tells CNBC Make It, “What makes you most valuable is your ability to cooperate and connect with others. A lot of jobs are going to disappear, but the thing that we will always have that is more important is your emotional intelligence." She defines that as having a "good understanding of yourself, self-control, empathy and a natural understanding of people's decisions, needs and desires."

She adds: "If you can handle people's diversity — people of a different age, different personalities, or educational backgrounds, for example — and you can handle the conflict that comes with that, you will be the highest paid, most valuable employee in the company.”

What are soft skills? Your own personal attributes such as understanding who you are and what you are good at, listening skills, teamwork and problem solving.

Someone with really strong soft skills can work with anyone in any environment.

Five Soft Skills

1.

Emotional intelligence known as EQ. EQ is the ability to: recognize, understand and manage our own emotions. Recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others.

2. Understanding of others’ differences

3. Flexibility 4. Communication skills 5. Problem solving

So with EQ, understanding, flexibility, communication and the ability to solve a problem (something most of us do on a daily basis) you have the soft skills to survive and thrive in a work environment.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The election is over around here, but not in Florida, Georgia and Arizona, where there are re-counts going on for Governors and the Senate. As I said last week, congrats to all the winners around here and in our state. . . .The weather has been kinda spotty – nice and sunny at times, and rainy at times. I even saw some snow for a bit on Saturday morning. It was just a little, but a reminder of what’s in store for us as winter approaches. . . . There were plenty of tributes to those who have served in the Armed Forces on Veterans Day, celebrated Sunday and Monday.

It marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, which originally was on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918. So many lives were lost in all the wars, before and after World War I. It’s sad

to think of those who fell in battles, but those men and women fought to preserve our freedoms.

We shall be forever grateful . . . .

The Bath Museum is having their open house this Saturday afternoon, and they’re doing it up big with a ribbon cutting. Hats off to their staff! Margie Rehrig and the late Evelyn Hartzell and others in the beginning did a great job, and there are others involved now as well. I wish them the best. Ye Olde Editor Emeritus Bill says he’s proud of the Home News being a part of Bath’s history for over 75 years, and the paper will be honored. . . .Those Philadelphia Eagles thought the Dallas Cowboys were falling apart. Well, they found out differently Sunday night, and the Cowboys’ defense stopped them in their tracks. It silenced the crowd of E-A-G-L-E -S fans. . . . Be sure to get your flu shot if you’re nine years of age and older, either at drug stores, at your family doctor’s office, or in a local hospital. With winter coming on, so is flu season. A word to the wise should be sufficient. . . .Next Thursday is Thanksgiv-

They gathered items chronicling early 1800s and 1900s life in Bath. Most all of the artifacts

were generously contributed by townspeople, found in their attics, basements, barns and garages.

The “Memory Room” opened its doors on Sept. 21, 2000 in the Bath Boro Hall in the Wolf Building on Washington Street.

This organization works to help individuals preserve open spaces, natural resources, and historic heritage. “The Heritage Conservancy covers 15,000 acres of land in Bucks and Northampton counties,” Baird mentioned,

while adding that Pennsylvania is the leader in preserved farmland in the country.

The presentation discussed reasons to preserve a piece of property and the steps required in order to get to that process. Many individuals see the value in their property-whether that is to protect it for generational benefit or business relations. Baird explained that land could be preserved in two ways: through free, simple purchase or conservation easement (property protected). Baird informed residents that preserva-

tion processes can take anywhere from 1 to 2 years, however there are cases where these processes are longer. Informing residents of land preservation is a great benefit to Moore Township specifically, an area where farmland is a prominent natural resource that they work to hold onto. The Heritage Conservancy and the Moore Township Land Preservation Open House allowed residents to ask any questions they had in order to stay informed and take the proper steps necessary for protecting their beautiful properties.

Home Improvement DEP advises homeowners to inspect home Heating oil tanks and take precautions to Prevent spills, leaks

Submitted by JOHN REPETZ

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) today advised residents to inspect and assess home heating oil tanks before the upcoming heating season to avoid leaks or spills that can be prevented.

Nearly one in five Pennsylvania households uses heating oil to stay warm in the winter. Owners of home heating oil tanks should inspect indoor and outdoor tanks for potential problems.

Leaking heating oil tanks can contaminate drinking water and soils, diminish indoor air quali-

ty, create the potential for fires and explosions, and subject tank owners to very expensive cleanups, which may not be covered by homeowner insurance policies. With proper tank management, spills and leaks can be avoided.

Tank owners who think their oil tank may have a problem should immediately contact their oil company for help.

DEP encourages home heating oil tank owners to routinely inspect the exterior of the tank and all attached equipment and follow these tips: • For safety reasons, always assume the tank

contains at least some oil.

• Check for signs of rusting on the tank and its structural supports.

• Examine the tank’s fill line and feed line to the furnace for leaks.

• Check for signs that the vent line is clogged by debris such as spider or bee nests.

• Recognize that wet

spots or odors near the tank may signal a problem.

• Never tip over or empty a tank onto the ground.

• Enlist a professional to perform maintenance or alterations to a heating oil tank system.

Tank owners should make certain that the home address is clearly visible and the tank’s fill line is clearly marked when heating oil is delivered. If a tank owner cannot be home when heating oil is delivered, mark the fill pipe with a red flag or marker and inform the oil company of its location.

Residents should ensure that any disconnected fill pipes that remain above the ground are permanently sealed and cannot be opened.

If a leak or spill occurs, tank owners should do the following: • Find the source of the spill or leak and stop or contain the release, using

absorbent material like cat litter, sawdust, peat moss or newspaper to stop the release from spreading.

• Call the heating oil distributor to remove as much oil from the tank as is necessary to prevent further release.

• Immediately notify the municipality and DEP. • If heating oil odors are getting into the house, ventilate affected areas, and close off unaffected areas.

• Contact environmental professionals to begin the cleanup.

• Keep detailed, accurate records.

• Contact the insurance provider.

For more information on home heating oil tanks, visit the new Home Heating Oil web page on DEP’s website at www. dep.pa.gov/homeheatingoil or call DEP’s Division of Storage Tanks at 717-772-5599.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Lehigh Twp. Elementary School Hosts Veterans Day assembly

Veterans at Lehigh Elementary.

Blue Mountain Drive-In & Family Restaurant

Taking orders for holiday cakes & pies!

We will be closed for Thanksgiving

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, from our family to yours!

1439 Blue Mt. Drive, Danielsville 610-767-6379 “Tradition and pride since 1965”

by HANNA O'REILLY Today we remember our veterans-those who have fought and currently fight for our country.

Lehigh Township Elementary School wanted to do something special for local veterans by inviting them to the school’s gym for a special commemorative event. On Nov. 12 around 9:30 a.m., faculty, staff, and students of Lehigh Township Elementary filled the school’s gym wearing their red, white and blue. Students watched in awe as veterans- some dressed in their professional uniforms carrying flags-processed into the gym with family members by their sides. Principal Cassandra Herr started off the ceremony with a quote from Brodi Ashton that stated, “Heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they are graced with,” fitting for this special day. Herr went on with the presentations by having each veteran introduce themselves, state their rank, and introduce the family members they were with.

The students were eager to learn about each visitor and hear about what they had to share. One by one, the veterans talked about what they’ve done, the history of Veteran’s Day-formally known as Armistice Day-, the processes they went through in basic military training, an explanation of P.O.W. M.I.A., and a demonstration of flag folding at a ceremonial burial. Students were invited to participate in a question and answer portion of the presentation, giving them the opportunity to learn even more from the visiting

veterans. Everybody in attendance was grateful for the time spent with these incredible Americans.

Sergeant Jonathan Wolfel, who served in Vietnam, ended the presentation with encouraging words

for the students to takeaway: “You are our future. Make the world a better place,” he stated. “It’s never too early to start. I am counting on you,” Wolfel concluded.

Thank you to all our veterans.

Magnify The Lord

David said, “O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together” (Psalm 34:3). We magnify the Lord when we exalt His name or His character—He is holy, just, merciful, and gracious! We magnify the Lord when we praise Him for Who He is! Our concept of God’s majesty and power is far too small. We tend to focus on petty problems and magnify insignificant things. Instead, we need to focus on the vastness of God’s greatness! We need to say with David, “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving” (Psalm 69:30). We magnify the Lord when we thank Him for what He has done for us! Samuel told Israel “consider how great things he hath done for you” (I Samuel 2:24). As we think about the great things God has done for us—how He has saved us from sin, and changed our destination from hell to heaven—our hearts throb with gratitude and overflow with thankfulness to Him. With Mary, the mother of Jesus, we cry out, “My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour…For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name” (Luke 1:46-55).

As we magnify the Lord, others around us are impacted. “He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD” (Psalm 40:3). “Let them shout for joy, and be glad…let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified” (Psalm 35:27).

Spirit-filled believers magnify the Lord! Paul instructed, “Be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:18-20).
