Happy Thanksgiving

KINDERGARTEN children at Sacred Heart School in Bath had a Thanksgiving Feast on Friday, Nov. 22. It consisted of turkey, fruit salad, corn muffin and pumpkin pie. At each plate was an apple made into a turkey. The children were dressed as Pilgrims and Indians, representing that first Thanksgiving in 1621.

Townships applaud Governor, Legislature for transportation funding Submitted by Ginni Linn The following statement was issued by David M. Sanko, executive director of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors, which represents the 1,454 townships of the second class across Pennsylvania.

Townships, in turn, represent more residents — 5.5 million Pennsylvanians — than any other type of political subdivision in the commonwealth and cover 95 percent of the commonwealth’s land mass.

----------------------Two Local Legislators Explain Opposition -----------------------

“On behalf of the PSATS Executive Board and our member townships, we applaud Gov. Tom Corbett and those in the state legislature who voted yes for the passage of a critically needed transportation funding bill that will en-

able the commonwealth and its municipal partners to restore the structural integrity of the state’s road and bridge network. We thank all those who voted yes and the governor for his leadership in this hard-fought and necessary battle to make sure our roads and bridges are safe and the state’s infrastructure continues to be well-maintained into the future. Public safety and economic development are the winners, along with the people of Pennsylvania.

“After nearly two decades of stagnant funding, the legislature has taken the steps to provide the necessary resources to create a safe and reliable transportation system for our communities, our businesses, and our children.

“This legislation will now enable our member townships to do their part in making sure Pennsylvanians reContinued on page 13

State Police urge safe driving During Thanksgiving holiday Submitted by Pa. State Police The official Thanksgiving Holiday Enforcement Period for Pennsylvania State Police Troop M, Bethlehem, heightened traffic enforcement began at midnight Wednesday, Nov. 27 and ends at midnight on Sunday, Dec. 1.

This safety initiative is called P.A.D.E.E.P. (Pa. Aggressive Driving Enforcement Education Program).

These extra patrols will be roving throughout the entire Troop M area to identify and apprehend drivers who drive aggressively. In addition, S.T.E.A.D.D. (Selective Traffic Enforcement Against Drunk Driving) and D.R.E. (Drug Recognition Expert) troopers will be apprehending motorists who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Enforcement will also concentrate on moving violations such as speeding and reckless driving, as well as

seat belt and child safety seat violators.

Troopers in Bucks, Lehigh and Northampton Counties investigated 56 traffic crashes during the Thanksgiving holiday travel period of 2012.

Those 56 crashes resulted in two fatal crashes with three deaths and 37 injured requiring medical treatment. Of those crashes, seven were alcohol related.

Troopers aggressively enforced the motor vehicle laws in Troop M, resulting in the issuing of 1,244 traffic citations, over half for speeding on area highways, 23 child seat citations, 67 seat belt citations, and 46 seat belt warnings, and arrests of 55 motorists on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.

Pennsylvania State Police Troop M urges travelers to “think before you drink” and be mindful of their continu-

ing efforts to enforce the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08% while operating a passenger vehicle.

Motorists need to be aware of the State Police Checkpoint Strike Force initiative, which calls for weekly D.U.I. checkpoints in the Troop M patrol area. Also, anyone under the age of 21 who chooses to drink must be reminded that Pennsylvania’s Zero Tolerance Law establishes serious consequences for those who choose to drink and drive with any measurable amount of alcohol in their blood.

Motorists are reminded there will be increased patrols as part of the PSP’s continuing effort toward traffic safety, and are also asked to take special care while driving during this busy weekend. When you see the Flashing Lights, Slow Down and Steer Clear. It is the Law.

Supreme Court rules that Ballard must die for slayings The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled this past Thursday that Michael Eric Ballard’s death sentence should be upheld for massacring four people in a Northampton home on June 26, 2010.

Chief Justice Ronald Castille said the evidence was overwhelming and there was no basis for overturning the death sentences against him for the killings.

Ballard stabbed to death his former girlfriend, Denise Merhi, 39; her father, Dennis Marsh, 62; her grandfather,

Plus, Carol Ritter on saying Thanks, Page 5

Alvin Marsh, Jr., 87; and Steven Zernhelt, 53, a next door neighbor of the home at 1917 Lincoln Ave., after he heard screams for help.

He originally was sentenced to death in Northampton County Court, and District Attorney John Morganelli called the killings a “massacre.” Ballard’s public defender, Atty. Michael Corriere, argued that the defendant had a rough childhood, suffered brain damage, and had overwhelming jealousy.

The jury ruled that he should

be executed.

In the Supreme Court appeal, the verdict was challenged on the grounds that the judge improperly allowed autopsy and crime scene photos to be shown to the jury, and questioned whether Morganelli improperly cross-examined defense experts who concluded that Ballard was brain damaged.

Morganelli expects that Ballard will file additional appeals for many years. He continues to be on death row at Green State Prison

(Family Features) The only thing harder than passing up a delicious dish at a party is trying to talk yourself out of eating holiday leftovers the next day. While everyone is entitled to a little indulgence now and then, it's possible to have your traditional turkey and cranberry sandwich and eat better too.

The trick is to cut calories whenever you can, and that means making simple swaps. Here are a few ideas to get you started: • The day after a festive meal, stack your sandwich high with leftover turkey, lettuce and cranberry sauce. But don't blow it by adding a big smear of mayonnaise. Instead, top this traditional sandwich with delicious, smooth Sabra® Hummus to save fat and calories.

• If you want to cut a lot of extra carbs out of your holiday diet, skip the stuffing.

Instead, try wild or brown rice with your turkey.

• Once you've filled your plate with crudité instead of a high-calorie appetizer, don't dip carrots and celery sticks in a vat of ranch dressing. Try a dip made from Greek yogurt, like Sabra Cucumber & Dill Greek Yogurt Vegetable Dip. • Cut the fat and calories in mashed potatoes by making a dairy free option with creamy hummus instead of butter or milk.

• It's easy to drink a lot of extra calories during the holidays. Fancy coffee drinks, eggnogs and sugary cocktails can really pack on the pounds. Stick with seltzer- based drinks, sugarfree hot chocolate or herbal teas.

• On very special occasions, enjoy a bite or two of a truly decadent dessert.

Then, switch to fruit-based sweets or treat yourself to a sugar-free beverage.

You may even find yourself a little lighter and healthier after the holidays.

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip Winter hit us like a ton of bricks over the weekend. At least the temperature went way down on Sunday, in the 20’s, and with the wind it felt like in the teens. There was a snow shower about suppertime on Saturday night that covered cars and grass in a blanket of white. I’m not ready for winter!! . . . .High school football fans are hoping it warms up a bit. Shivering in the cold watching them in the stands on Thanksgiving Day isn’t so great. But then again it won’t be so nice if it rains either, and that’s a possibility, according to the weather folks. . . Let’s hope it’s not raining or too cold this coming Sunday when Bath has its Christmas tree lighting down at Monocacy Creek Park. I hear Santa Claus will be there, so bring all the kids!! . . . .It looks like all the sidewalks are in on the west side

of South Chestnut Street. The lower part is done for sure, and the upper part is covered over with a tarp. After that’s all done, then the Grace Industries workers will take on the east side. It doesn’t include brickwork, which was nice on Main Street. Oh well. . . .After I mentioned about a Thanksgiving dinner at the Lutheran church, I found out from Joan Haidle by way of Ye Olde Editor that it was cancelled because they couldn’t get anybody to organize it.

Too bad, ‘cause it was a nice dinner they had for about 110 people. . . .Glad to see that Doc Marino has been collecting food for the food bank in town. With more than 200 families depending on it, that sure is needed. . . .Next Friday night is the candlelight house tour and then on Saturday is the daylight Christmas

And we all know that giving is what Christmas is really all about. The seals bring a smile to my face, and, hopefully, they are sending smiles to every person with lung disease that somehow benefits from the Christmas Seals campaign.”

Those who would like to support the American Lung Association can purchase this year’s Christmas Seal online. Each Christmas Seal purchase helps the American Lung Association fight lung disease nationwide.

For More Info For more information on Christmas Seals, please visit www.ChristmasSeals.org.

The site includes images of past Christmas Seals as well as information about how the ALA uses each donation to fight for healthy lungs and healthy air. Christmas Seal supporters can also share this year’s Christmas Seal on Facebook to show their support.

Submitted by Deb Brown Tis the season for an everpopular holiday tradition, the American Lung Association’s Christmas Seals. First issued in 1907, these holiday stickers can spruce up any holiday card or package. More than 100 years ago, the ALA used money raised through the sale of Christmas Seals to combat tuberculosis. Today, however, the Christmas Seal funds help the American Lung Association battle lung cancer, asthma, influenza, tobacco use, air pollution and more.

Because these tiny labels have had such a huge impact in the battle against lung disease, Christmas Seals have earned the title: “The Little Sticker that Could.”This name certainly seems appropriate.

The seals make packages appear more festive and help improve the lives of those diagnosed with lung disease.

Dickens’ descendant to perform Christmas classic 1. This is your 20th year performing your greatgreat grandfather's literary classic. What has been the most rewarding part of that experience?

That is a very difficult question, because over these 20 years there have been so many wonderful venues, wonderful personalities and wonderful moments that to single out one is almost impossible. Of course, meeting the Queen at Buckingham Palace last year rates highly on the list! However, I would say it is a moment when I know that a single line or movement on stage has worked perfectly. When the audience are so captured in the moment that in their minds they are actually in the Cratchit's home, or Scrooge's old school. It is at those moments, when the novel and the performance come together so perfectly, that I am absolutely at my happiest.

By Danielle Tepper Special to the Home News

“Marley was dead, to begin with.”

The infamous first line of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” has been seared into many a memory. The timeless holiday classic about Ebenezer Scrooge and the three spirits first awakened everyone to the magic of Christmas back in 1843 and has since been immortalized by countless renditions and has become a holiday tradition over its indefinite shelf life.

Dickens’ great-great-grandson, Gerald, is an actor who has been bringing his ancestor’s masterpiece to life in a one-man stage adaptation for two decades, nearly two centuries since the author was born. Using his vocal and physical talents, more than 30 characters are resurrected during the performance.

The Home News snagged an exclusive interview with Gerald Dickens before his appearance at Bethlehem’s Moravian Book Shop on Thursday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m.

2. In your opinion, what is it about "A Christmas Carol" that really resonates with people during the holiday season?

Firstly, it is a darn good story.

Great characters, great range of emotions and a fantastic plot. But it is more than that.

A Christmas Carol touches something in all of us. It is a story that reminds us that we all have opposites of character within us. We have all some aspects of Scrooge and we all have aspects of Bob Cratchit.

And, in the middle of the busiest, most commercial, frantic season of the year it is good to be reminded that however bad things may seem, there is a way through it and those opposites of character can find common ground. I think that people love to take Scrooge's journey alongside him and learn or re-learn their own lessons.

3. What is your favorite scene/chapter/excerpt from the story to perform and why?

Again, an impossible question! My favourite scene is the one that begins: 'Marley was dead, to begin with' and ends with 'God Bless Us, Every One!' i.e. the entire story.

Grow UR Biz in 2013 – Gracias

By CAROL RITTER

Th a n k s g iv ing, in 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wa m p a n o a g Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.

For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

I was thinking--How do you give thanks to your customers?

Bill Marriott’s dad, founder of Marriott Hotel,s spent about 75 percent of his time out of the office, immersed in operations, and at least half of that time talking to customers. Over time, he built up a great following. He understood how customers think and what they need.

Do you understand the fundamental common sense brain of your customers?

As your country celebrates

Thanksgiving, take time to think about what you might be thankful for and if your clients contribute to your success. If they do, it’s time to say “gracias”, “merci”, “danke”, “grazi”, or maybe just thank you.

To my customers, “Gracias” I appreciate your business and here’s how I say thanks I will give social media shout outs - Customer of the Week I will position myself as a customer appreciation business I will pay attention to you and your needs I will provide perks, prizes, pick-me-ups I will commit to one VIP Reception every year I will say thanks in the off season, my customers will be more surprised--Gracias!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Home fires spike in Pennsylvania during Holiday season Submitted by Melissa Frill New insurance claims data from the Allstate Insurance Company shows that fire and sewer backup pose as threats to home security and safety for Pennsylvania residents during the holiday season. A new survey also highlights how holiday pressures and changes in activities, behaviors and routines can leave Keystone State homeowners vulnerable to home perils.

“Breaking out of our routines and making the most of our time with family and friends is what the holidays are all about,” said Greg Kramer, Newtown Allstate agency owner. “It’s easy to get caught up in the festivities, so Allstate is reminding homeowners to use caution and remember to think through potential safety hazards in the home this holiday season.”

The claims information indicates that holiday-related activities can cause losses for Pennsylvania homeowners: PA homeowners are most likely to experience a fire claim over the holiday season; they increase 22.6 percent.

Compared to the national average, fire claims are 58.8 percent more likely to occur in Pennsylvania During the holidays, sewer backup claims increase by 8.6 percent for PA homeowners

which is 27.2 percent more likely than the national average Nationally, the claims information indicates that holiday-related activities can cause one of the biggest holiday home hazards – fire – and the losses can be quite large: Candles are the most likely

to cause a holiday-related fire. In fact, Christmas week is among the top three weeks for candle-related claims. The median cost for candle-related claims is almost $50,000 On average, there are three times more turkey fryer claims during the holiday season than any other time of the year. The median cost for turkey fryer-related claims is almost $29,000 Around New Year’s Eve, (last week of December through first week in January) there are nearly twice as many claims caused by fireworks. The median cost for fireworks-related claims is nearly $14,000 Christmas trees are another holiday-related hazard that may result in costly damages. The median cost for Christmas tree-related claims is more than $100,000 Since 2008, the most costly holiday fire claim involved an artificial Christmas tree in the homeowners’ living room. The total loss amount cost nearly $2.4 million Changes in Routine Increase Risk New Pennsylvania survey data shows that holiday pressures and changes in activities, behaviors and routines can leave homeowners more susceptible to home perils.

According to the survey…

49 percent of Pennsylvania consumers they are trying to do too many things at one time during the holidays 63 percent of Pennsylvania consumers are trying new techniques for cooking and decorating More than half (56 percent) of PA respondents who drink alcohol during the holidays say they drink more during the holidays than they usually do throughout the year 61 percent of Pennsylvania consumers revealed that their daily schedule and routine changes during the holidays 8 in 10 PA consumers leave delivered packages outside their home, drawing attention to valuable gifts and holiday spending 50 percent of PA respondents are traveling overnight

Comment On Sports

By Pete Fritchie

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷

Much more needs to be done to reduce the number of serious injuries in college and pro football--even at the high school level.

Watching games today, the usual scene of three or four sideline sides dashing out to kneel around the player who can’t get up after being “shaken up”--the coverup word for injuries--is seen probably on an average five or six times a game.

Bath Bowling Rex Scores Shutout To Creep Closer to Beal in Sportsmen The Rex team shut out the Zmyweski team to move just a hair closer to Beal in the East Bath Sportsmen Bowling League in week 13. They did it with Pete Rex leading his team with a 210-232-274–716 series, along with Scott McGee, 190-194-224–607, and Marc Kappauf, 202–538. Zmyweski: John Zmyweski, 229– 567; Shaun Klump, 475; John Zmyweski, Sr., 438.

Beal rolled to a 3 to 1 win over Fioranelli, led by Marty Beal, 190-192–567; Josh Rex, 435; and Dick Raab, 400. Fioranelli: Armie Fioranelli, 206212–549; Tom Hawk, 178–512; Earl Grube, 191–509.

Csencsits also scored a shutout over Howell with Marty Csencsits leading the attack on a 233-234-266–733

If the sides can get this “shaken up” player on his feet so he can walk to the sidelines, they will, but sometimes they help him to get to the sidelines.

Many ex-football players today admit they rejoined games in which they were injured and played injured.

Many today, also, admit they suffered permanent injuries in play, both on the college and pro level. And only recently have lifetime injuries been recognized with financial aid.

Though an effort by the NFL to reduce injuries has been made, more needs to be done. Umpires are making more abusive hit calls but still missing many. series, and Eric Spooner, 213–546; and Tom Zeiner, 432.

Wait is on for late-starting Pennsylvania Deer season Submitted by Travis Lau

Hunters are known for their great patience – and it’s a good thing, too.

Those eager to start the clock on yet another deer-hunting season are waiting out the latest-starting season opener in years.

Because of the way the calendar falls in 2013, and with the opening day of Pennsylvania’s general deer season traditionally held on the Monday following Thanksgiving, the state’s “unofficial holiday” kicks off a full week later than it does in some years.

But when that special day arrives, hunters statewide are likely to find the wait well worth it.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is tracking deer populations as stable or increasing in nearly all of the state’s 23 wildlife-management units. That means another good opportunity awaits the approxi-

mate 750,000 hunters expected to take to the deer woods on the Dec. 2 opener, and for those hunting during the remainder of the season.

“The opening day of the firearms deer season is something most hunters look forward to all year, and waiting out those few extra days when the season falls late like this can test one’s patience,” said Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe. “But by 7 a.m. that first Monday, the wait all across Pennsylvania will be over, and tens of thousands of lasting memories will be made in the hours, days and weeks that follow.”

Statewide season

The statewide general firearms season runs from Dec. 2 to Dec. 14. In many parts of the state, properly licensed hunters may take either antlered or antlerless deer at any time during the season. In other areas, hunters may take only antlered deer the season’s first five days, with the antlerless and antlered seasons then running concurrently from the first Saturday, Dec. 7 to the season’s close.

Rules regarding the number of points a harvested buck must have on one antler also are different in different parts of the state, and young hunters statewide follow separate guidelines.

For a complete breakdown of regulations, consult the 2013-14 Pennsylvania Hunting & Trapping Digest, which is issued to hunters at the time they purchase their licenses. The digest also is available online at the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state.pa.us.

Northampton county Hay producers earn Top placings Submitted by: Sarah Dorward – Penn State Equine Program Assistant

The love of agriculture certainly exists in the heart of Northampton County, where hay farms produce some of the best quality hay in Pennsylvania. Because of this, several Northampton County hay producers won top awards for their hay at the Pennsylvania Forage and Grassland Council Hay Show held at Ag Progress Days this past August. Each year the show exhibits some of the finest hay produced in the state of Pennsylvania. Hay growers from many counties showcase their best hay in hopes of gaining elite recognition. Class placing is based on the nutritional analysis of the hay and visual inspection of the sample.

The PFGC Hay Show displayed 46 entries from 11 counties, making a very competitive atmosphere for this year’s hay growers. The field cured grass hay class was very large this year, containing many entries from throughout the state. Ray Mack, from Pen Argyl, took first place for his first cutting field dried alfalfa hay. Mark Heitzman, of Bangor, also placed very high in the very competitive grass hay classes. Heitzman placed 1st with his first cutting field dried grass hay and 4th with his later cutting alfalfa hay.

Dennis Newhard (BieberNewhard Farm, Nazareth) always earns top honors for alfalfa hay in the partially heat-dried category.

This year was no exception. DenContinued on page 12

Dickens

Continued from page 4

Dickens wrote the book so brilliantly that each scene has its own specific role. Of course, the joys of the Fezziwig party are wonderful and so is the sheer gentle love at the Cratchit's Christmas lunch. Ebenezer’s first encounter with the ghosts in the shape of Jacob Marley is an amazing scene too. Imagine what it must have been like to read that chapter for the very first time in 1843, when you had no idea what was going to happen in the rest of the book!

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Tax increase coming in 2014 for property owners At the Northampton Borough Council meeting on Thursday night, Borough Manager Gene Zarayko said there will be a slight real estate tax increase for 2014.

He said the budget of $5,952,511 is $193, 845 higher than in 2013. As such, the tax rate will go from 8.1 mills to 8.50 mills, a $20 a year hike.

Increased cost of health care and some minor wage in-

creases were primary reasons for taxes going up.

Zarayko also set aside money for a new police car and a pickup truck with a plow for the public works department, and also $16,000 to replace aging fitness equipment at the recreation center. Another $78,000 was budgeted for paving material.

The final budget will be adopted at council’s December

By State Rep. Joe Emrick 137th Legislative District

On Thursday, Nov. 21, the House voted and sent to Gov. Tom Corbett’s desk a plan to fund Pennsylvania’s infrastructure needs. House Bill 1060 will pay for improvements to our roads and bridges through tax increases on gasoline and diesel fuel that will inevitably be passed on to consumers, as well as numerous increases in fees such as driver licenses and vehicle registration.

I had four opportunities that week to vote on the controversial transportation funding plan. I voted against the proposal on each occasion – three times as an amendment to House Bill 106 and on final passage as House Bill 1060.

Hay Producers Continued from page 7

nis earned first place in four classes - first cutting alfalfa, later cutting alfalfa, first cutting alfalfa-grass mix, and later cutting alfalfa-grass mix.

The later cutting alfalfa entry was also the champion recipient in the category.

It is without a doubt that Northampton County farmers are deeply-rooted in agriculture and fueled by a drive to succeed. Of the 46 hay exhibits, Northampton County produced 11 of those entries, the highest number of hay samples exhibited by a single county. The passion for high quality hay production is visibly evident through all of their hard work and accomplishments.

Transportation Funding Continued from page 1

main safe and economically competitive. We look forward to putting this badly needed funding to work on our local roads and bridges.”

PennDOT specifies Facts regarding Transportation Funding

Submitted by Sean Brown, Safety Press Officer As the impact of the state’s proposed Transportation Funding plan is discussed, PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch urges that these facts be referenced: • The financing phases in over a five-year period. It is misleading to ignore this fact when gauging the plan’s impact. The plan does not include an immediate increase of 28 cents per gallon, as has been reported. Such an estimate is based on the wholesale price of fuel in 2018. It is not possible to predict the price per gallon five years from now.

• The plan eliminates the 12 cent-a-gallon liquid fuels tax.

Under this proposal, all gas tax revenues are generated at the wholesale level.

• Competitive situations and the cost of crude oil have the largest impact on the price per gallon. Even with this revenue enhancement in place, the average driver would only pay about $2.50 more a week in the fifth year of the plan, less than the cost of one gallon of gas. In return, the commonwealth will receive $2.3 to $2.4 billion in transportation improvements.

• Comparison of gas tax rates with other states is not a fair assessment since many states use other funding sources to pay for highways and bridges, so they keep their rates artificially low. In Pennsylvania, fuel taxes are used only for highway and bridge-related purposes and state police patrol functions.

Income and sales taxes are not used to pay for statemaintained highways and bridges in Pennsylvania. The fuel taxes in Pennsylvania amount to a true users’ fee, based on the amount of gaso-

line consumed and use of the highway and bridge system.

• Pennsylvania’s vehicle registration fees are among the lowest in the nation, with 39 states charging more. Also, 31 states charge more for the cost of a driver’s license.

My Opposition to the Gas Tax Hike

By State Rep. Marcia Hahn 138th Legislative District

On Thursday, Nov. 21, the state House voted and sent to Gov. Tom Corbett’s desk a plan to fund Pennsylvania’s infrastructure needs. House Bill 1060 will pay for improvements to our roads and bridges through tax increases on gasoline and diesel fuel that will inevitably be passed on to consumers, as well as numerous increases in fees such as driver licenses and vehicle registration.

I opposed the legislation for very simple reasons. Lifting the cap on the Oil Company Franchise Tax paid for by the oil companies and the subsequent increase in the price of gasoline that will follow is asking too much of our taxpayers. Many Pennsylvanians are already having difficulty filling their gas tanks, buying groceries, purchasing their prescriptions and/or paying their property taxes. This legislation increases the burden on them.

In addition, the taxpayer is being tapped unnecessarily by the increase in driver license and registration fees.

The new law also allows drivers whose auto insurance lapses to escape a 90-day suspension of their registration by paying a $500 fine. I don’t like the message this sends and the irresponsible behavior this measure promotes.

Questions about this and any other legislative issues should be directed to my Nazareth office at (610) 7462100.

Joe Emrick Continued from page 10

sources of revenue exist in proposed legislation. House Bill 220 would use money derived from the sale of the state-owned liquor stores for infrastructure needs. House bills 762 and 1630 would move the sales tax revenue generated by the sale of motor vehicles from the General Fund into the Motor License Fund, which could also be used to address our roads and bridg-

es.

Our residents already have difficulty filling their gas tanks, buying groceries, purchasing prescriptions and paying their property taxes.

This legislation increases the burden on them, when other funding sources could have been considered.

Questions about this event or any legislative issue should be directed to my Mt. Bethel office at (570) 897-0401 or my Nazareth office at (610) 7465090.

Outdoors

Continued from page 6

tion that applies statewide is the requirement for each hunters to wear a minimum of 250 square inches of fluorescent orange material on his or her head, chest and back combined. An orange hat and vest will satisfy the requirement.

And for safety’s sake, nonhunters who might be in the outdoors during the deer season and other hunting seasons might also want to consider wearing orange at this time.

Deer forecast

While deer populations are being tracked as stable or increasing in most of the state, many other factors influence deer hunting, said Chris Rosenberry, who supervises the Game Commission’s deer and elk section.

The availability of food sources in an area plays a role in the deer harvest at a local level, he said.

This year has produced a spotty acorn crop statewide, said David Gustafson, the Game Commission’s chief forester. A late spring frost affected white oaks and chestnut oaks. And a cold and wet spring in 2012 affected red oaks, which take two years to produce. Those conditions have combined to limit acorn availability in many areas.

That’s not to say there aren’t acorns to be found, Gustafson said. In some cases, though, it can take some work to find them. Meanwhile, soft-mast and fruit crops have been good this year statewide, he said.

And Gustafson said he’s seen areas this year where food has appeared more plentiful in the low-hanging parts of valleys.

In any case, finding those food sources can be the key to hunting success.

While factors like food and weather can influence the deer harvest, Rosenberry said it’s unlikely the late start will play much of a role.

The timing of deer-hunting seasons in relation to the deer’s breeding season, commonly

referred to as the rut, can impact the harvest, he said. But he said other factors typically are more important, as evidenced by deer harvests in different seasons with either early or late starts.

Those hunters taking part in the season have a sizeable chance of taking home a trophy. A good crop of adult bucks is produced each year statewide, and last year’s harvest resulted in about 200 new entries into Pennsylvania’s Big Game Records Program, which recognizes exceptional whitetails, bears and elk.

Meanwhile, hunting license sales also are slightly ahead of their 2012 pace.

All of it adds to the potential for an outstanding deer season, Roe said.

“Considering deer and hunter numbers both are good, the pieces are in place for a great season,” Roe said. “And for those hunters who harvest their ‘buck of a lifetime’ this year, it will be the best season ever.

“That chance lies in store for the hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians who will take

Nov. 28-Dec. 4, 2013 13 part in our deer seasons,” he said. “I hope each of them soon discovers that, indeed, good things come to those who wait.”

Proper licensing

Hunters during the statewide firearms season can harvest antlered deer if they possess a valid general hunting license, which costs $20.70 for adult residents and $101.70 for adult nonresidents.

Each hunter between the ages of 12 and 17 must possess a junior license, which costs $6.70 for residents and $41.70 for nonresidents.

For many areas, antlerless licenses or DMAP permits might already be sold out. License availability can be checked online through the Game Commission’s

website.

Licenses can be purchased online, but as the season nears, hunters might find it better to purchase licenses in person. Deer licenses purchased online are mailed, meaning they might not arrive in time if purchased too close to the start of the season.

Tagging and reporting A valid tag must be affixed to the ear of each deer harvested before that deer is moved. The tag must be filled out in ink by the hunter.
