Martin on Main brings crowds to Nazareth By KERI LINDENMUTH Big crowds came out to Main Street in Nazareth on Saturday, August 5 to celebrate the tenth annual Martin on Main Festival, presented by the Nazareth Bath Area Regional Chamber of Commerce. It was a chance for Nazareth and Lehigh Valley residents to celebrate the history and music of C.F. Martin Guitar & Co.
Looking by Back Ed Pany Remembering August 1941 Today, we are taking you back and the United States was conto August 15, 1941. The world cerned about the war that was
raging in Europe. Would the United States be able to maintain a policy of neutrality? National defense now became a concern. American Legion posts joined the Interceptor Command located at Mitchel Field, New York, to improve our air defense. Steps were taken to set up observation interceptor stations to Continued on page 2

Howard Lackenbach was appointed as Chief Observer, along with Dr. George Eichler, Superintendent of Northampton schools, Earle
Bachman and Ed Michael. Do my older readers recall when the observation building was on the present RCN site in East Allen Township on the Northampton-Bath highway? It was manned by aircraft observers during the war. After the war, the building was moved and became a residence on Dewey Avenue. In 2015 the old observation post

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Heirloom Illness
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
Concluded
I started out this series with an aim to shed more light on the notion that while our DNA, our genetic make-up, is what it is, I perceive there are many more factors that are playing a role in our ill health, especially in autoimmune conditions. We left off discussing the possibility that overlooked “common” viruses are messing us up more than we are told. One possibility is Trigeminal Neuralgia which essentially presents of nerve pain on the face. Imagine if this isn’t TMJ and is actually Epstein Barr or herpes virus inflaming the tri-
geminal nerve. Could it be the case that virus variants are truly at the heart of major ailments that plague us today? If so, could it be these viruses have been passed down from generations, making our current situation an heirloom type illness? Upsetting to consider, yet we must. In addition to virus strains, imagine mercury

use that is passed down from one generation to another, getting more and more concentrated in each offspring. Think that could mess up genetic coding? Environmental pollutants can’t be helping us much either. Pesticides aren’t a vitamin. I am not sure how you can get away from chemicals these days. It’s everywhere and in everything; in the air we breathe, our food, and even our water. Food isn’t really food at all anymore, it’s frankenfood. While the conversation goes on, the article needs to come to an end…for now. In the meantime, I would like you to think about what health, for you, truly looks and feels like. Consider that I myself and the whole medical profession have more questions than actual answers and solving many health mysteries is still a work in progress. We just don’t have the luxury of time to sit and wait. Continued on page 5

Bath without Youth Football League for First Time in 25 Years By KERI LINDENMUTH For the first time in over 25 years, the Borough of Bath is without a youth football or cheerleading program. The Bath Lions Football and Cheerleading organization was set to enter its twenty-ninth year, but a lack of sign ups has left youths in the borough without a program. Randy Roberts, Lions President, was in attendance at the regular Borough of Bath council meeting on Monday, August 7. He expressed his disappointment before council. “I am really heartbroken,” he said, “we were the last youth program in the Borough of Bath.” He said that the youth program helped kids in the community get involved and stay off the streets. However, a variety of issues pre-
vented the program from picking up this year. League issues led to other teams leaving the league and not enough youths signed up to participate on the Bath team. Meanwhile, a “Family Fun Day” that was planned as a fundraiser and registration event was cancelled because vendor fees were too high in the borough. It was this last hurdle that cost the Lions Club over 1,100 dollars in losses. With program costs that Roberts estimates range from anywhere between 25,000 to 35,000 dollars per year, such a loss was a steep one to bear. However, Roberts remains hopeful that the Lions Club and the Borough of Bath can look forward and work together to come to a solution that will bring the football and cheerleading
program back to the borough. The Lions Club will be meeting in November to try and get a “game plan” together to move forward. Meanwhile, borough council will do what it can to help. “Maybe there is something we can do to fund families and kids to play in the league,” said Mark Saginario, president of the council. The cost for playing in the program is 90 dollars, 40 of which is a fundraising fee that gets reimbursed if the child fundraises. Saginario asked that the borough’s economic development committee, working closely with the Lions Club, look at the issue and see what can be done. Jimmy Pasquale, leader of the Bath Social Club, was also in at-

Martin on Main Continued from page 1
Road in Moore Township as State Police and Colonial Regional Police were investigating. The incident started allegedly when Michael McGinnis, 24, of Sleepy Hollow Road was having his care repossessed. Investigators say multiple shots were fired as the man was preparing to take the car. He called 911 and wasn’t sure if the shots were fired at him or in the air. The State Policy Emergency Response Team responded. Although police went in the home, it wasn’t called a standoff. CRPD, Moore and State Police officers arrested the shooter in Chapman Borough ending the incident by 6:30 p.m. Charges will be filed according to police. No one was injured.
while, attendees could browse a collection of Martin guitars on display. One guitar was even up for auction. Dozens of artisans showed off their handcrafted wares, including jewelry, soaps, stained glass, and homemade baked goods and peanut butter. There was no shortage of food at the festival. Food trucks lined Main Street and offered attendees everything from Philadelphia cheesesteaks to pizza to chicken shawarma. The Bath Firefighters were also there with their food trailer, offering hamburgers and barbeque. There were also plenty of desserts to choose from, including ice cream and baked goods from Stehly’s. With perfect summer weather, tasty food, and tons of great music, the tenth annual Martin on Main festival proved to be an overwhelming success. For many, it was the ideal way to celebrate one of the most famous names in music in its own backyard.
tendance. An active figure in the community when it comes to children’s charities and support, including the July 2017 Dreams Come True Bikers Remembering Bikers event, Pasquale was hopeful that the borough and Lions Club can find a way to bring back the youth program. “All of this stuff,” he said, gesturing around the council chambers, “does not mean anything if our kids are not ready to take it over.”
“It was a great time,” he said. “I truly believe kids are our future.” • A Colonial Regional Police Department Exit Committee has been established. Members consist of Council President Saginario, Council Vice President Michele Ehrgott, and Mayor Fiorella Mirabito. This committee will work with the CRPC to negotiate the Borough of Bath’s exit from the commission. • Rising sophomore at Muhlenberg College Melissa C. Reph was sworn in by Mayor Mirabito as Bath’s first junior council member. A political science major at Muhlenberg, Reph will sit on the council and attend every meeting, though she will not be allowed to vote. “It is great seeing kids get involved,” said Saginario. Reph takes a seat on the council alongside her father, Councilman Michael Reph.

drinks. I asked her about her vegetarian burger wondering if it had gluten? She came back to tell me that it did, in fact, have gluten. I took another look at the menu, she turned around and began to take off and offered this, “I’m really good at selecting a menu item for you, if you need my help.” What a waitress! I was smiling through the whole experience. But have you ever heard someone say, she or he is too nice? What do you think? I’m thinking there’s no such thing. Today customers are looking for good food, well-presented or the experience of food. Those who provide good food and experiences are one step ahead as long as they commit to both and show their customers that they are special and are the one and only customer they have. Here are seven lessons from Musikfest
1. Jazz it up - keep your space new, fresh and exciting. 2. Put your heart and soul into your business. 3. Make sure you swing into action when customers arrive. 4. When it’s time to rock and roll, go for it. 5. When you are in a funk, don’t let the customers know. 6. When the business is doing the slow dance, still continue amazing service. 7. Make sure the rhythm in your business is consistent so your customers know what to expect every time they visit. Musikfest does one heck of job providing a great experience coupled with amazing food. Some attend for the food, some attend for the music and many attend for the socialization. I will definitely make a point to look for Megan on my next trip. She was too nice and we loved it.

Natural Perspectives Continued from page 3
If the notion that you were handed down something from your parents or grandparents has you thinking, imagine now handing a “problem” down to your kids and grandchildren. If this doesn’t give you pause, I don’t know what will. So what are you going to do about it? I have long since retired from chasing pills, potions, and elixirs that hold out hope for instant healing. I am at a stage where a base hit makes me a lot happier than always swinging hard for a home run. I desire to be healthier. Who doesn’t? I also have a great desire that my wife, daughters, son, and in the future, my grandchildren will lead healthy happy, Godordained long lives. I want to be a part of that and nurture this desire into a reality as best as I am able. I know you do also or you wouldn’t be reading my column for the better part of sixteen years. Clearly everyone has different presentations and story to tell. However, imagine that very basic action steps can and will simply improve your well-being. Stop
drinking alcohol for example. That can only help, right? How about drinking herbal tea? Think that could help at all? I think it can. I think it’s also a good idea to take into our bodies these items that fight and kill viruses. We will absolutely need to discuss this in the future. We have to. Nobody else is… Until we meet again, be well. “Natural Perspectives” is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/ or make treatment recommendations.

Old Bath paper boys By CHARLES MCILHANEY JR. There were three main newspapers circulated in Bath in the 1950s and beyond. The Morning Call was delivered early mornings, the Bethlehem Globe Times in the afternoon, and The Home News on a weekly basis. All were carried by paper boys on foot or with bicycles. There may have been paper girls, but not that I’m aware of. Mike Silfies delivered The
Home News to our part of town. He was also responsible to collect the subscription fee on a regular basis. There was a time when I was to be available and see that he got paid. I knew his family and liked to kid with him, and always encouraged my mom to leave him a nice tip. Bob Reeser carried The Morning Call.

School. On bitter cold mornings, I was impressed to know he had already walked across town delivering papers as far as the ice skating pond on North Chestnut Street. He’d give us a daily update if the ice was frozen hard enough to skate on. Jimmy Bartholomew carried The Bethlehem Globe Times. His last delivery was to Frank Haidle’s ice cream and convenience store at the top of North Chestnut Street hill. As he came walking up Chestnut Street, I’d wait for him near the Republican Club where he gladly gave me a nickel to walk the paper up to Haidle’s. Five cents was just enough to buy a chocolate fudgesickle. It was a beautiful arrangement. P.S.- As to the previous article “Mack’s Diner” part two, Steve Gurney from Northampton updated the selections on the jukebox on a regular basis to keep abreast of popular songs. He often gave me the less chosen records being replaced.
Remember when you had to get a vaccination before you could enter school? I remember going to Dr. Sem Beck and getting scratches on my left arm. I also remember it hurt and a few days later, a scab formed on the spot as large as a quarter. I was warned by the doctor not to bump the scab and to let it fall off by itself. My arm was extremely sore and swollen, and it seemed to take forever for the large, ugly sore to heal. When anyone came near to my left upper arm, I would say, “Don’t bump my scab!” Finally, after a few weeks, the big ugly scab fell off and a scar was left on my arm that looked like tracks from a caterpillar. When someone in a family contacted Small Pox, Diphtheria or any other very contagious disease, the house would be quarantined. The Department of Health or the police had the task of tacking a notice on the front door of the house that no one was to enter or exit the house until the epidemic was over and the house would be fumigated to make sure all the germs were killed. I have heard that in some other states, the placement of the vaccination was performed in an inconspicuous place in the crease of the arm so that the scar would not be so apparent in the years to come. Teenage girls wearing sleeveless or strapless gowns to the prom did not want the scar to appear on the outer part of the arm to detract from their appearance. I really wonder if a child at age five gave any thought to how they would look in their prom gown eleven years hence.

With fall sports starting, I would like to take readers back to our summer youth sports and see what they accomplished. The Upper Nazareth Clippers Softball program was very successful; the second and third grade team went 7-6, the fourth and fifth grade team went 7-8-1, the sixth and seventh grade team went 12-5-1, and made the playoffs and lost in the second round to Bethlehem Township. The Upper Nazareth Clippers Softball eighth and ninth grade team finished their season at 16-3 as they won the championship, beating Lower Nazareth to win the title, which was coached by Jason Kupcha and yours truly. The Upper Nazareth Clippers Senior Team went 12-1 and won the championship by beating Lower Nazareth on July 7 at Bethlehem Township, which was coached by yours truly and Wayne Deegan. The Nazareth Thunder Baseball Team, which plays their home games at Tuskes Park, finished their season on July 23 with a 14-8 record as they lost in the playoffs to Northern Valley, then went to the State Tournament at Limeport Stadium and played three games and lost in the third game to Coplay on July 23. The Nazareth Senior Legion Baseball Team had a great season under Coach Jason Brown, where they saw their season end on July 8 at Northampton with a final record of 13-9-1. The Nazareth Junior Legion Baseball Team finished their summer season also on July 8 with a final record of 9-8 with the final loss to North Parkland. The Eastern Lehigh Valley Softball League had their fall tryouts at Fairview Park in Palmer on July 27 and August 1 and will play their fall games every Sunday at Fairview Park and Labarre Park with maybe some weeknight games to go along with it. I will be one of the coaches for one of the teams on the eighth and ninth grade level. Check back next week as I will get you ready with our fall teams at Nazareth. Finally, I’d like to wish a happy retirement to Robert Kern, who just retired as Middle School Principal. We wish him well as a Grandpa and congrats to Robert Bauder, as he is the new Middle School Principal along with John Fidelibus, who is moving over to the Middle School from the High School.

NORTHAMPTON AREA to be “more aggressive” in the bid process, with hopes that the township can receive bids more favorable to their current financial status. The township had $463,928 in their Liquid Fuels account at
Moore Township Reviews Funds Available For Pipe Crossings By JUSTIN SWEITZER After receiving only two bids to complete a project that would repair pipe crossings within the township, Moore Township supervisors decided to rebid the project with hopes that township will receive more options, and ultimately save money. At their August 1 monthly meeting, the board of supervisors debated on how to move forward with a pipe crossings project at Keeler Road and East Best Road, after receiving two bids that exceeded township supervisors’ expectations. The lowest bid, which came from Grace Industries, totalled approximately $131,000. Super-
visor Richard Gable said that despite being the lowest bid, the figure was roughly double what the township originally estimated. Township Engineer Kevin Horvath said the high nature of the bids could be attributed to the current busy nature of the bid market. “I think that the market is pretty busy right now,” Horvath said. “The fact that we received two bids kind of speaks to that.” Horvath noted that changes to the contract and the high price of needing to divert a nearby stream helped to boost the bid from the township’s original estimate. “There was some small changes to the contract, which included

the extension of the 30-inch corrugated plastic pipe on the Keeler Road project. We did anticipate a much lower bid amount for the stream diversion, which in both cases totalled close to $30,000,” he said. “It probably didn’t help that we went out a day following some rain and the streams were a little bit higher than where they will be, hopefully, when the project’s completed.” According to Horvath, the bidding process takes around three weeks and choosing to rebid the project will bring new bids into the township in early September. Before choosing to rebid the pipe crossings project, Supervisors Chairman David Tashner outlined some options that the supervisors could take to move forward. “One of them is kick the can down the road and let the next board worry about it, which has been done for generations already to the point that it’s a hazard the way it is. The other option is to do one of them this year and one next year. Another option is we do one out of our budget and borrow the money to do the other one, or we go and borrow enough money to do both,” Tashner said. The ultimate motion to rebid the project, made by Supervisors Vice Chairman Daniel Piorkowski, asks for Keystone Engineering

SHROUD OF TURIN EVENT COMING TO NORTHAMPTON CHURCH
All proc eed benefit th s e Friends o f Northam pto Area Pub n lic Library
C
ould an ancient Jewish linen cloth be the actual burial shroud of Jesus? Could the Shroud of Turin be a document of the crucifixion? Is that even possible? Or is it nothing more than a medieval hoax? The 14-foot-long Shroud of Turin is the most analyzed artifact in the world yet remains a mystery, bearing the faint front and back image of a 5'10" bearded, crucified man with apparent wounds and bloodstains that match the crucifixion account as recorded in the bible. Millions of people over the centuries have believed it be the actual burial shroud of Jesus. National Geographic called it "One of the most perplexing enigmas of modern times." Shroud Encounter is a fast moving, big-screen experience using over 200 images covering all aspects of Shroud research. Russ Breault has been researching and lecturing on The Shroud of Turin for over 30 years. He has presented to numerous college and universities including Duke and Johns Hopkins, and has appeared in several nationally televised documentaries on CBS and The History Channel.
SHROUD ENCOUNTER will be coming to St John’s United Church of Christ, 22 Atlas Rd, Northampton, PA on Sunday, August 20 at 6:30 PM. Admission is $5.00. A museum quality life-size replica will be on display. Call 610-262-8666 for tickets.

NAZARETH AREA Nazareth Residents Express Concerns To Borough Council By JUSTIN SWEITZER Nazareth residents flocked to the borough’s open forum-style meeting on August 3 to vent to borough council members about a variety of subjects, including police presence and bamboo growth within the borough. Karen Schrimpe, who owns Hair Therapy on 42 S. Broad Street, came to council to discuss her concerns with street parking and the borough’s police presence. She said she had reached out to police over the winter after a man would continuously walk by and enter her shop on Broad Street. She described the man’s actions as “inappropriate” and said she
asked police if they could send an officer to her shop to deter the man from approaching her shop. Schrimpe said her request was denied by the police. I asked ‘Could somebody stop in once in a while, like once a week, while this man’s walking around so he can see that I’m friends with the policemen?’” she said. “I got a big ‘No we’re too busy.’” Schrimpe said the police did ask her if she wanted them to contact the man to dissuade him from approaching her shop, but she declined as she feared it would anger the man. She later found out that he was a registered sex offender, and she said about a
month after she contacted police, the man was arrested for stalking someone in Nazareth. Mayor John Samus said he had spoken personally to former Police Chief Thomas Trachta and mentioned the incidents at Schrimpe’s shop, but said he was unsure if police followed through after giving them the information. Councilman Lance Colondo looked to comfort Schrimpe by pointing to the change in leadership at the police department since that time, and noted that new officers have since been hired. “Since that time there’s obviously been a change in leadership with the police department; additional police have been hired,” he said. Police Commissioner Randall Miller told Schrimpe that if residents feel they are getting inadequate responses from police officers, they should contact him directly. “There are times where we are very busy. In this case apparently we did our job if we put him in prison,” Miller said. “Contact me. I’m the one who can make these things happen. I can assure officers are going to be on Main Street and can assure they are going to be at different places.”
In other business, resident Diane Paine came back before council to further express the dangers that bamboo plants present to properties. She had previously come before council a month earlier to alert them of bamboo at a neighboring property and how dangerous it can be to homes, yards and streets. Colondo told her that the borough’s law committee is working to draft an ordinance that would ban the plant from being planted in the borough.
Huge selection and full showroom
“There’s going to be a ban. It’s being worked on,” he said.

Something More!
Have you tried religion but failed to experience the peace, joy and satisfaction of which others have testified? I assure you that there is something more! What you need is not religion where you attempt to reach God; but a relationship where God reaches you! Here are the steps to have such a relationship with God: 1. Know there is a problem that separates you from a perfectly holy God. It’s called sin. God says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). There is a canyon between you and God, and you can do nothing to bridge that gap. Joining the church, being good, getting baptized, being confirmed, or simply attending church won’t do it! 2. Believe that God gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the bridge between you and Him. The Bible says that Jesus died for our sins “that he might bring us to God” (I Peter 3:18). When Jesus died on the cross, God did everything that was necessary to bring you to Himself. 3. Receive Jesus as your Savior. No one is born a Christian; you must become one. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). How do you receive Jesus? A “you turn” is required! You turn away from the known sins which are separating you from God, and you turn away from all you have been counting on to get you into heaven. At the same time you turn to Jesus in faith believing that He alone will give you a new and changed life as promised in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” The Bible says, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). Why don’t you earnestly call on Jesus in prayer right now and experience something more!

t s e b r u O e v a h s d Frien ! s g e L Hairy What To Do If You See a Pet in a Hot Car www.humanesociety.org It may take only minutes to save a life Leaving pets locked in cars is never safe. But when the weather gets warmer, it can be deadly. Pets can’t withstand high temperatures—they can cause irreparable organ damage and even death.
How to help a pet left in a hot car
Take down the car’s make, model and license-plate number. If there are businesses nearby, notify their managers or security guards and ask them to make an announcement to find the car’s owner. If the owner can’t be found, call the non-emergency number of the local police or animal control and wait by the car for them to arrive.
Other ways to help
Get informed: Learn your town’s laws about leaving pets in hot cars now. Get ready to call for help: Gather the essential telephone numbers and have them on hand. You’ll want to have your local animal-control agency’s number and the police department’s non-emergency number so you can quickly report the situation. Keep these numbers in your purse, your car’s glove compartment or programmed into your phone. Spread the word: Distribute The Humane Society of the United States hot car flyer, which spells out the dangers of leaving pets in parked cars. Order more flyers on animalsheltering.org. You can also watch and share our retro video on the issue.
Get involved: Ask local store managers, shopping malls, restaurants and other businesses to post signs asking customers not to leave their pets in their cars while shopping, dining or engaging in other activities. Speak up: If your town doesn’t have a law prohibiting leaving pets in parked cars, contact your local representatives or attend a town hall meeting to start lobbying for one. Learn the basics about advocating for animals with our activist toolkit.
When it’s 80 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the temperature inside your car can heat up to 99 degrees Fahrenheit within 10 minutes. Rolling down the windows has been shown to have little effect on the temperature inside a car.
The greenhouse effect
It doesn’t have to be that warm outside for a car to become dangerously hot inside. Here are some facts: When it’s 72 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the temperature inside your car can heat up to 116 degrees Fahrenheit within an hour.
