Downtown Nazareth alive Pint for A With the sound of music Purpose Check by DAWN DUDECK TUNNEY Downtown Nazareth was filled with the vibrant sound of live music and tempting aromas of festival foods on Saturday, August 3 at the 12th Annual Martin on Main celebration. Food trucks and art vendors lined downtown Nazareth as music from three stages provided the soundtrack for the day. Those attending happily strolled down Main Street appreciating the works of over 50 artisans, sampling beers and libations and enjoying goods from local restaurants and businesses. The main stage, located at the town’s center circle, hosted over 10 musical performances throughout the day, beginning at 1 p.m. and lasting until 7 p.m. C.F. Martin & Co. donated a 50th Anniversary Woodstock guitar to be raffled off at $5 per ticket which was displayed with other guitars next to their tent. Scott Follweiler, Artist and Event
Manager, spoke with pride as he described his experience working at the guitar company, stressing that he believes in the Martin way of “not many, but much;” taking pride in your craft and sharing it with the world. Michael Dickenson, a wood buyer for C.F. Martin & Co., was on hand to answer questions and explain the different woods and processes involved in choosing the right quality materials for their instruments. Dickenson has traveled all over the world to find different types of wood for the company. The event, hosted by C.F. Martin & Co., The Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum, The Nazareth-Bath Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Nazareth Borough, is boasted as the largest event of the year for the town. C.F. Martin & Co. was founded in 1833 and has been family owned and operated for six generations, leading the acoustic guitar market with its signature sound and unmatched craftsmanship.
Bath Council discusses parking concerns Parking issues on East and West Main Street were a large part of the discussion at the Bath Council meeting on Monday, August 5. Business owners expressed concerns that their patrons were confused about time limits and where to park, and that residents were not following the two-hour time limit, prohibiting customers from conveniently gaining access to their establishments. Despite the borough’s best efforts, the two-hour time limit unfortunately has become dif-

A familiar topic was brought up again to the Nazareth Borough Council at the workshop meeting Thursday, August 1. Members of St. John’s UCC requested that the traffic be switched on Prospect Street from one-way, as it is presently on Sundays, to twoway, citing parishioner safety and
by DAWN DUDECK TUNNEY convenience to the elevator for the elderly and disabled which is located on the Prospect Street side of the church. This matter has been discussed previously and there are some residents opposing the change, however, the consistory of St John’s UCC has asked for the street to be made two-way.

Do Me a Favor Scam
by ABBY PEPITONE We all want to please our bosses, especially when they need help. This fact is not lost on some scammers who have started sending fake boss messages asking employees for a favor. Several reports have emerged this summer of employees getting texts or emails from their “boss” asking them to purchase gift cards and send the account numbers. The supposed boss might be travelling or claim they a re too busy to take care of the task. But once the gift cards are purchased and the information sent, the money is gone. Because scammers are so good at spoofing email addresses and phone numbers, you don’t always know when your boss really is your boss. However, whenever you are asked to purchase a gift card and give out the card information by phone or email, it is most likely a scam. Be a fraud fighter. If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. Visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877-908-3360 to report a scam or get help if you’ve fallen victim.

For my second installment, Dorothy Propokovich and Scott Rabenold greeted me at their small shop to learn about their walk of life. Their business is called D & S Florist Shop and Dorothy explained she is a first-time shop owner. After working at a medical office for several years while making flower arrangements from home, she decided to pursue her interest and started working for a floral company in Allentown. She then went on to establish her shop at its current location. Dorothy said she’s happy to have chosen the Bath Borough as the home for her business. She also gave a shoutout to landlords Darrin and Carol Heckman for being so supportive. Dorothy stated she found what
fulfills her, an example that corroborates the saying that you should do what you feel passionate about. “I love to see people’s reactions when I do deliveries. I like to see them smile. In a world surrounded by so much negativity, you get to brightens someone’s day,” she explained with a smile on her face. Dorothy said she and her fiancé Scott complement each other. While she’s the expert in flowers, Scott is the expert in live plants. Scott is a Disc Jockey and another way in which the couple complements each other is by offering their services as a package. Clients get Scott’s music entertainment half price when they contract Dorothy’s floral services. Dorothy has provided decorations for many weddings and anniversaries, among many other occasions. Speaking of weddings, after six years together Dorothy and Scott are taking their vows in July 2020. Best wishes to them! Among Dorothy’s top favorite flowers are roses. She likes the

Items available from other family-run businesses include Eve’s Angels Candles, 6 Cats Soaps & Scrubs, and home décor from Lori’s Primitive Country Plus, adding to the variety found at D & S Florist Shop.

She explained that in addition to the Internet clientele she receives through a partnership with FTD.

Friday, a day of lessons Stories From My Heart By Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca
Two years ago, I was asked to help at a funeral luncheon at my church. Of course, I said yes and must admit that it was very rewarding. In fact, so rewarding, I continued, always ready to say, “Yes.” It was my way of giving back to others who were heartbroken at the loss of a loved one. Sometimes I knew the family and sometimes I did not. Sometimes the funeral service was held in our church and sometimes it was not. On Friday, there was another luncheon to prepare for, another family grieving a loss. Another family I did not know. On this day, the service was held in our church. We worked hard to get everything just right for those joining us for lunch. When we finished with our set-up, one of the ladies asked if I wanted to go up to the service. I was unsure if I should, but, my dear friend said it would be okay. I did not know this beautiful older woman who now resides in Heaven. I did not know her fami-
ly, or what she liked, or her favorite things to do. I did not know how much she loved her family. As I sat in the pew, and watched her casket being pushed down the aisle, the organist played a beautiful hymn, one that I was familiar with. I wondered if it was one of her favorites. As I looked around the church, I did not know how many friends she had and the difference she had made in their lives. I did not know how her influence helped shape her granddaughter into the young woman she had become. I did not know that she had three daughters who loved her dearly. I did not know that her husband walked with a walker and how much he would miss her loving hands that helped him for so many years. After listening to our pastor talk about this sweet woman, I learned what made her so special. I learned about her love for her family, her love of cooking, her beautiful needlework, and how much she loved teaching Sunday School.

Looking around the church, I learned how many people loved her. I learned just how much her granddaughter loved and admired her grandmother by the loving way she spoke of all the things they had done together. I learned how sad her husband was, grieving for his wife of many years. I learned how much her daughters loved their mother, by the tears on their faces. As I sat and listened to the beautiful message about this special angel, I formed a picture in my mind. I could see her cooking, taking care of her friends, always being there for her family, working with her Sunday School students, taking care of her husband, and knitting her beautiful blankets. When we sang two of her favorite hymns, I could almost hear her singing along, smiling her warm smile, and nodding her head at a friend. Although, I did not know her when I walked into the Sanctuary, I left with a new friend in my heart.

Northampton School District in Quandry over state budget
by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News Northampton Area School District Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik and Business Manager Terry Leh on Monday night presented the tentative 2016-2017 budget that is very uncertain because of the six-month-long state budget impasse. Kovalchik said, “Where we stand and where the state stands is questionable. Words can’t describe the state budget. The goal of the district is to present a comprehensive plan, but with the state budget, it’s near to impossible to know where we stand.” But as it is now, Kovalchik and Leh believe the local budget will total $100,585,376, or about $4-million more than the current school year. “We’re presenting a budget as close as we can. We may get a half million dollars, but we really The Northampton Area School Board reorganized recently. don’t know,” Kovalchik said. “We board Shown here are: Seated (l-r) – Dr. Michael president David Gogel, and Judy Odenwelder.

Grow UR Biz Music to my ears By CAROL RITTER It’s music to my ears - this week, one week a year, music lands itself into Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley stops to look and listen. Folks take vacation, they stay up late, they buy tickets, they dance, they sing, they eat too much, they overdo it as they invade this little town for a piece of the action. If you are a daily visitor to the festival, by the end of the week you’re saying, “I didn’t see all the shows I wanted to see,” “I didn’t eat at The Wiz Kids,” or “How did I miss the street performers?” And you need a week to recover. And then there are the anti-festival groups. They stay home, avoid the crowds, take to social media to complain about the noise, the park-
ing, the visitors and the number one music festival in the country. I bet you’ve heard someone say, “I can’t go to a seafood restaurant because I don’t like fish.” Well, how is that possible? There are so many varieties of fish, have they tasted them all? I doubt it. Or, “I hate vegetables.” Again, how can someone hate every type of veggie on this earth? Have they tasted them raw, cooked, enhanced with sauces and so on? That wet blanket statement only goes so far. The same goes for Musikfest. There is a big menu and so many different opportunities on the north and south side of Bethlehem. You could literally come all day and not spend a dime. You could attend the
small concerts in small venues. You could come once or every single day. You could come when the crowds are low during the week and during the day. You could dine at one of the fabulous restaurants in downtown and listen to music in air conditioning. You could become a member of ArtsQuest and have a few privileges. You could take a tour of Steelstacks, Historic Bethlehem and more. The key word here is menu. What’s on your menu at your business? Do you provide enough variety for your customers to keep coming back? Do you change it up frequently so they are seeing new product, new foods or new beverages, new services? Do you have free parking days, free coffee on your birthday or a discount on your anniversary or a loyalty program? It sure is music to my ears when I get a new client and I’m sure it would be for you, too. We are half way through the festival; I’m leaning on the side of the
“go every day” group. I love music, I love food, I love gathering with friends and, most of all, I love my hometown. And guess what? I’m networking every minute I’m there.
So, get our of your office, store or restaurant and meet new people, connect with old friends and take time to smell the flowers or listen to the music.

County purchases land in Stockertown to link trails By BECKY BARTLETT
Bob’s Flower Shop TENT SALE
Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure will bolster the development of Northampton County’s regional trail system by signing an Agreement of Sale with Norfolk Southern Railway Company to purchase approximately 1.4 acres in Plainfield Township. The property, owned by Norfolk Southern, is a major connector piece, part of the Two Rivers Area Trail Gap 9A and the September 11 National Memorial Trail. The connection will link the Stockertown Rail Trail and Plainfield Township Recreation Trail together, while simultaneously providing a connection to Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center. The former railroad right of way is located between Sullivan Trail and Route 33 North in Plainfield Township. It is identified as Trail Gap #9 in the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission’s Lehigh Valley Trails Inventory.
The closure of this trail gap is a top priority in the Pennsylvania’s Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2014-2019 and the Livable Landscapes – An Open Space Plan for Northampton County. This acquisition supports goals of the Commonwealth’s Lehigh Valley Greenways Conservation Landscape, to connect people to greenway and trail opportunities to promote healthy living, recreation, and the region’s green assets. “Connecting our communities throughout the County through our trails benefits our quality of life, this acquisition will bolster those opportunities,” said Bryan Cope, Superintendent of Parks & Recreation. “Northampton County is one of the largest hubs of 100+ mile trails in Eastern Pennsylvania, with five of these trail systems already present.” THE LINK is an interconnected network of safe, beautiful multi-
use trails offering Lehigh Valley residents and visitors the opportunity for year-round outdoor recreation, alternative transportation, and healthy living. Northampton County is a proud regional partner in the Lehigh Valley Greenways Conservation Landscape and THE LINK Trail Network (www.thelinktrails.com) to close trail gaps and continue trail connections. At the July 9, 2019 meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Advisory Board recommended the Norfolk Southern fee simple acquisition to be approved by Northampton County Council. At the Aug. 1, 2019 meeting, Northampton County Council authorized the purchase through a fee simple acquisition, of approximately 1.4 acres, more or less in Plainfield Township by Northampton County from Norfolk Southern Railway Company.

NAZARETH AREA Own a piece of Martin Tower with commemorative bricks from the National Museum of Industrial History By GLENN KOEHLER Thousands of people traveled from all over to see the implosion of Martin Tower, the historic former headquarters of Bethlehem Steel in May. Now you can own a piece of the landmark building in the form of a commemorative brick from the National Museum of Industrial History. Retrieved from the tower after the implosion, the bricks were part of the loading dock and parking deck structure on the ground floor of the building. Volunteers and museum staff worked to load the bricks and bring them to the museum in July, securing a way for current and future generations to own a piece of history.
“This is a unique opportunity to own a small part of one of the most historic events to occur in the Lehigh Valley in some time,” said Kara Mohsinger, President and CEO of the museum. “We collaborated with the property owners to make this happen and we’re thankful to them for making this possible.” The bricks include a commemorative plaque and will cost $25 each. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the museum, helping to pay for educational programs and future exhibits. Bricks can be purchased online at http://nmih.org/martintower or at the museum. Due to an already high interest,
the museum may take names and payments for brick reservations before the full allotment is prepared with the commemorative plaques. Please contact the museum for immediate availability and reservation questions by calling Deedee Riffle, Coordinator of Visitor Experiences and Events Coordinator, at 610-694-6637.

Coming Home
One evening in 1921, Professor William J. Kirkpatrick, who had written the music to We Have Heard the Joyful Sound, Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves, ’Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, and many others, told his wife that a song had been running through his mind all day, and that he was going to his study to put it on paper before he forgot it. She knew that he often worked late in his study, so she retired for the evening. After midnight she awoke and, seeing the lights in her husband’s study still burning, went in to investigate. She found him at his desk...dead! The pencil was still clutched in his lifeless hand and spread before him were the lines of his newly completed hymn: Coming home, coming home, Never more to roam. Open wide thine arms of love, Lord, I’m coming home. If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I urge you to read the story Jesus told of a son’s return home (Luke 15:11-24), and then make the first and second stanzas of Kirkpatrick’s hymn your sincere prayer: I’ve wandered far away from God, Now I’m coming home; The paths of sin too long I’ve trod, Lord, I’m coming home. I’ve wasted many precious years, Now I’m coming home; I now repent with bitter tears, Lord, I’m coming home.
