Bath celebrates grand opening Of new municipal building The History Corner Page 6

Happy Birthday Pearl Eberts Page 7

By KERI LINDENMUTH It seemed like the entire Borough of Bath was crowded into the council chambers of the brand-new Borough of Bath Municipal Building during its grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, August 6.

Council members and mayors of past and present were in attendance, as were state representatives, members of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, and even Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli.

The new borough building was completed by nearly 90 percent volunteer work, something Liz Weaver of the Chamber of Commerce called “unbelievable.”

State Senator Mario Scavello called the building “the nicest and newest” in the area. It features brand-new technology, a custom-crafted dais, and several historical galleries curated by the Bath Museum. “[There is] 275 years of history on your walls,” continued Senator Scavello.

The names of the volunteers

and local businesses who dedicated over a year of their lives to the new building will forever be inscribed in a commemorative plaque hanging in the building’s lobby. “[They] dedicated hours, weekends, [and] nights spent here,” said Mayor Fiorella Mirabito.

Mayor Mirabito thanked all of the volunteers by name. They include Manny Mirabito, Andrew Ehrgott, Mark Saginario, Anthony Kovalovsky, Joseph Andrews, Jimmy Pasquariello, William Yob, Brett Fisher, Jordan Weist,

Paul “Junior” Connolly, Nikolas Krause, John Ashworth, Charles Tully, Darin Stout, Donald Remaly, Jason Jaquillard, Jody Betz, Andy Manucci, Dave Swanson, Jr., Greg Dillard, Nicholas Mirabito, and borough manager Brad Flynn, who Mayor Mirabito called “the most dedicated borough manager we have ever had.”

Flynn, recognized as 2018’s Borough Manager of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce, received special honors from Senator Continued on page 2

Aboard ballistic missile Submarine, Allentown Native keeps America’s Nuclear adversaries at bay

By Chief Mass Communication Specialist Bill Steele, Navy Office of Community Outreach A 2012 Salisbury high school graduate and Allentown, Pennsylvania, native is presently engaged

in a critical mission for the security of the United States: deterring nuclear war.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew Pope, an electronics technician, is serving aboard one of the

world’s most advanced ballistic missile submarines, USS Pennsylvania. Based at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor in Washington, not far from Seattle, USS Pennsylvania is one of 14 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines in the Navy’s fleet.

As an electronics technician, Pope is responsible for the electronics and navigation data for the strategic weapons system.

“I like working with my hands – it’s rewarding to see something you’ve fixed working again,” Pope said. “I like the sense of community on a sub and that everyone has to be pretty good at what they do because there’s so few of us compared to a surface ship.”

Pope draws from lessons learned growing up in Allentown.

“I learned a strong work ethic growing up that’s helped me in the Navy,” Pope said.

The Navy’s ballistic missile submarines, often referred to informally as “boomers,” serve as undetectable launch platforms for intercontinental ballistic missiles.

They are designed specifically for stealth, extended patrols and the precise delivery of missiles, and they are the only survivable leg of the nation’s strategic nuclear forces, which also include land-based missiles and aircraft.

As long as nuclear weapons remain in the hands of potential adversaries, the nation’s nuclear forces provide a safe, secure and credible deterrent to the threat of nuclear attack. The Navy’s continuous at-sea deployment of submarines like USS Pennsylvania provides the ability to mount an assured response.

As effective as the Ohio-class

Scavello and State Representative Marcia Hahn for his contributions to the borough. “[You have] rightly earned the respect and admiration of friends and colleagues,” they told Flynn.

Local businesses and contractors were also recognized for their generous contributions and donations, which ensured no tax increases fell on borough residents due to the new building.

These contractors include Sean Beck from Dun-Rite Electrical, Jim Hicks from J.H. Paving, Rick Meyers from Meyers Concrete, Nikolas Krause from Krause Concrete, Umberto Pasquariello from Pasquariello Property Management Services, Paul Connolly from Bath Supply, Gary Gower from G&L Sign Factory, Craig Ashwood from Ashwood

Construction, Inc., and Tina Liskanich from T&D Construction Cleaning.

“We called everyone we knew and this group of people just came together,” said Saginario.

“This facility today…is a tribute to the folks here,” said D.A. Morganelli.

In addition to the ribbon cutting, Senator Scavello and Representative Hahn presented a Certificate of Recognition from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the borough. There was also a special musical performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by incoming fourth graders at Sacred Heart School.

The evening truly was a community affair, one the borough was eager to share with residents and one Mayor Mirabito could not help but praise for helping make Bath “this beautiful borough I am so very proud to call mine.”

Creative Corner Penny Arcade

By KATHLEEN UNGER Penny Arcades or Peeps Show as they were also known came into existence in the early 1930s at amusement parks and fairs.

They were any type of coin-operated device, usually for entertainment. The name derives from the fact that for one cent, you could get a card that would tell your fortune, or test your love for another and they were collectible.

As teenagers, we would go to Bushkill Park roller-skating and a walk to the Penny Arcade was part of the excitement. I remember inside the glass cage was an animated life-size witch-like fortuneteller who would look into her crystal ball and tell your fortune. Then out of the slot would pop a card with your future predictions. We collected these cards and to our surprise, several of us girls got the same card with the same fortune printed on it.

There were other penny arcades that gave out cards with pictures of movie stars. These were very collectible also by teens.

I wish I could find some of those old cards today.

Bethlehem Steel

By Charles McIlhaney, Jr. In the mid 1960s and beyond, the Bethlehem Steel plant in Bethlehem, Pa. conducted periodic hiring campaigns, when almost any able bodied man 18 years or older could find employment there with a benefit package and a decent living wage. I got a job there soon after my 18th birthday in 1964, at a base rate of $2.28 an hour. I worked at #5 Boiler House with Mike Burns of Chapman Quarry, and Bernie Hudak, Eddie Marth, and John Oscipok of Northampton. In later years I worked with Jim Gontar at #2 Open Hearth and #8 Machine Shop, and with Frank Gaspar at Ingot Mould Foundry. Every employee was given a “brass check.”

It was a round brass piece, about the size of a silver dollar, stamped with each man’s ID and shop number. It needed to be shown to the plant patrolman before entering the gates to the plant.

The employee newsletter, featured in a previous article in The Home News, has more recently been replaced by the steelworkers’ archives letter called the “Pourspective”. This poem appeared in its initial edition of February 2015.

The Looking Glass

By Charles McIlhaney, Jr. Happy Birthday Leos (July 23-August 22). I’ll be 72 years old this year, which the wall mirror well confirms. I wonder how men and women recognized they were getting old before the use of mirrors? I suppose the distorted image of white hair reflecting from a still pool of water might have lent some indication. Or maybe, it was more perceived from the faces of others, like the curious stare of a child; the smile of appreciation from a loved one; or the silent empathy shared with a stranger’s mutually vintage eyes.

Patient mirror on the wall, Sober record you have kept Of etch in time aged scrawl Across my face has crept.

And long since you have seen Youth in fleeting guise To wonder, while in tender preen, Of tomorrows before your eyes. ow, with thanks and Amen I N recognize, From your image cast, The God given log of many tides In the looking glass.

About the National Museum of Industrial History A Smithsonian Institutionaffiliate, the National Museum of Industrial History is dedicated to preserving America’s rich industrial heritage. Housed in an 18,000-square-foot, 100-year-old former Bethlehem Steel facility on the largest private brownfield in America, the Museum is home to exciting exhibits, engaging programs and amazing history.

The Last Men of Bethlehem Steel

By Charles McIlhaney, Jr. Forever seemed would be its reign, Whence for miles from east to west, Sprawled the hearths and mills and cranes That never stopped to rest.

And morning shone on open gates Where many a brass check gleamed Of generations come to earn their rate Under wing of the iconic “beam.”

Now, idle relics rust in the setting sun.

Yet, there are those remember thunderous wheels, And cogs of heavy industry spunThe last men of Bethlehem Steel.

And though quiet now by the river’s edge, They heard the turbines whine, And felt the quake of pounding sledge, And rumble of roller lines.

Where bleak shadows loom when dark is nigh, They saw molten metal flow, And oven fires lick the sky, And cherried ingots stand aglow.

And alas, the “brotherhood” of old Is but to archives sealed.

Save for the ancient stories told By the last men of Bethlehem Steel.

Some other last steelworkers from Bath and surrounding areas include: Will Bauer, Jake Dornbach, Rudy Faustner, Dale Hartzell, Dave Ware, Joe Godiska, Claud Meixell, Fred Meixell and Bob Yost.

Take the case of David Dapkewicz: One morning, Dapkewicz awoke with radiating pain in his lower back. The process soon repeated itself – back pain in the morning that would linger throughout the day.

Instead of undergoing an operation and exposing himself to the considerable costs and risks associated with surgery, Dapkewicz began working with a St. Luke’s physical therapist on a regimen of exercises and stretches. What started as two sessions a week eased into a once-a-week routine and finally once every other week as his condition continued to improve. Before long, Dapkewicz’s back pain was gone and he was active one again.

“I had never had back pain of any kind on a regular basis until I had my sciatic nerve problems,” Dapkewicz said. “The St. Luke’s team helped me through the process and provided me with nonsurgical solutions — led by physical therapy — to relieve my back pain. It worked.”

St. Luke’s launches New comprehensive Spine program Groundbreaking approach to back and Neck pain offers better care, lower costs.

Submitted by BRENDA HAGETER St. Luke’s University Health Network today announced the launch of Comprehensive Spine, an innovative back and neck pain treatment program designed to avoid costly ER visits, X-rays and potentially addictive opioid prescriptions as well as unnecessary surgeries.

Comprehensive Spine – a physical-therapy-first approach to acute back and neck pain – is the only program of its kind in the greater Lehigh Valley. St. Luke’s is among a handful of health care systems nationwide able to offer such a program thanks to its extensive network of physical therapy locations and expert physical therapists. With 50 physical therapy locations, Comprehensive Spine can offer back and neck pain patients treatment within 24 to 48 hours.

“Spinal surgery should be the last stop for a patient, used only when needed,” said Gbolabo

Sokunbi, MD, orthopedic spine surgeon at St. Luke’s. “Comprehensive Spine will improve patient access, providing a streamlined program with specialists at different entry points to ensure that patients receive the care that is needed.”

For the majority of patients suffering from back or neck pain or other spine-related issues, physical therapy leads to reduced pain and better movement within four to six weeks — and sometimes after only one or two appointments.

St. Luke’s Comprehensive Spine’s new approach to healing back and neck pain offers a number of advantages for patients and providers, including: -Fewer X-rays, CT scans and surgeries - Less prescription medication, including opioids - A better patient experience and outcome - Less expense across the health care continuum

Why Comprehensive Spine?

At many health care systems, back and neck pain patients are apt to see a surgeon before attempting physical therapy.

St. Luke’s research, however, has shown that approximately 85 percent of back and neck pain patients are best treated with physical therapy. Only 15 percent of cases should be directly referred to a surgeon or other advanced specialists.

“Our goal is simple: Provide the right treatment with the right specialist at the right time,” said Jason M. Erickson, DO, an interventional pain physician at St. Luke’s Spine and Pain Associates.

“We want patients returning to function and meaningful activities, whether it’s spending time with their families, getting back to their jobs or returning to the activities that are important to them. The Comprehensive Spine program will allow patients to get the care they need, quickly and efficiently.”

How Does It Work?

Patients call 1-866-STLUKES to speak to a trained Comprehensive Spine nurse about their back or neck pain. Following an over-the-phone assessment, patients will then be directed to the proper course of treatment.

When appropriate, that will be an initial evaluation by an advanced specialist. In the majority of cases, however, patients will be directed to a physical therapist with the skill and training to treat conditions of the spine.

“When back and neck pain patients see our highly trained physical therapists first, they tend to have better outcomes and experiences – and costs are lower too!” said Giovanni Stracco, DPT, spine program director at Physical Therapy at St. Luke’s.

Comprehensive Spine services are being offered now. Patients suffering from back, neck or spine pain can learn more by calling 1-866-STLUKES or visiting www.sluhn.org/spine.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Musikfest had a good run for a lotta years, but this time they picked a monsoon season, it seems, and they’ve been suffering from Monocacy Creek flood waters all week. They even hadta shut down a couple platzes for the cleanup. But that’s the fate of outdoor activities and the community days hadta contend with rain drops, too, from a storm system that hugged the East coast and invaded inland.

“Vass kumma do,” folks of the dialect would say. Nazareth had its Martin Guitar Festival on Main Street and at the Circle last Saturday. Summer’s just in its final days and we can only hope for the best if you’re planning anything outdoors. . . .I knew Warren Henning liked to cook foods, but I didn’t know he was gonna run a clambake, or one in his name, anyhow. It’s gonna be on the 18th of this month down at the Bath Legion. Maybe he’ll enlist some of his buddies in the Hearts Club to assist with the bake. The Menu: Couple dozen clams, corn on the cob, potato, clam chowder, a half chicken, dessert, and beer or soda. Sounds great to me. . . .Also August 18th is a Country Festival up Little Moore, Danielsville way. Salem Church from up in Moorestown is having a Peach Festival in their wooded grove this Saturday, the

www.HomeNewsPA.com

11th. At least I hope they will.

No worries about floods, but it can rain. Cross your fingers. If it does, they’re planning on moving indoors at the church. Also this weekend, 10th and 11th, is the annual Northampton County 4-H Fair at the 4-H Center in Bushkill Township. They always have plenty of things the 4-Hers make, the animals they raise, and some great horseback riding. Over in Northampton, the Scotch music of bagpipes and drums will be played by Celtic Adventure. Boy! There’s lots to do around these parts!! . . . . Hats off to local businesses celebrating anniversaries. It takes a lotta work and courage to keep going and serving customers for many years, and you’all deserve a huge pat on the back. I remember when Bob and Eleanor moved here. I believe it was Stubby Dewson’s house. It has been a family business with a lotta dedication over those 50 years. Congrats to Hayes’ Flowers!!!! . . . . Ye Ed’s grandson, Steve Schwartz, is in the middle of a climbing expedition on Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. He’s been getting acclimated to the thin air at the 20,000 - foot level. Steve is part of a group that takes the slope in various stages. The young folks these days are adventurous, and I wish him luck on this one. . . .Moms are busy shopping for clothes for their young’uns as they get ready for school to resume. Only a few short weeks left of vacation time. . . .Gotta go.

Things to do, and it’s not easy in this 99 degree heat and humidity.

Grow UR Biz

by CAROL RITTER

Kick it up a notch One thing I’m pretty sure of: “Most people don’t change until staying the same becomes too difficult.” There are two ways to change or reinvent yourself. One is that you add new services or items to your business or two; you create something new and exciting that stands alone.

Many businesses put the brakes on marketing, educating and selling, sometimes because they have had a successful month or year.

So many times business owners say, “I want to be bigger than [or] better than my competition.”

Well, that takes the chutzpah to do more than the day-to-day tasks of your biz. The networking needs to be constant, the marketing and education needs to be consistent.

The reason businesses don’t do marketing and education is money.

Six Ways to Kick It Up a Notch 1. Position yourself and as an expert, possibly the only expert, what do you do that no one else can do?

2. Budget dollars for the new initiative and hire people to help you. If you are a construction

firm, you may not have marketing skills. Hire.

3. Create a competitive edge (offer something no one else has).

4. Keep your employees in the loop; they are your best allies.

5. Flexibility, easy to say hard to maintain. Keep flexible; be willing to “course correct” when things go south.

6. Leverage your relationships.

Call, meet with and contact anyone and everyone who can help you achieve your goal.

Think about Amazon. They not only are changing with the times, but also are a trailblazing company. Who would have ever thought they would buy Whole Foods? It seems like Amazon has their finger on the pulse of the buyer.

Start today, just change your mind.

Harvest and preserve herbs For flavorful meals year-round

By MELINDA MYERS Add a flavorful boost to any meal with garden-fresh herbs.

You’ll quickly discover the difference fresh herbs make when preparing any meal or dessert.

Harvest herbs whenever you need them for cooking or garnishing a favorite dish. Adjust the quantity of herbs used to allow for variations in flavor intensity and your family’s preference.

In general, you will need two to three times more fresh than dried herbs. So, if the recipe calls for one teaspoon of dried parsley use one tablespoon (three teaspoons) of fresh parsley leaves.

Use a pair of garden scissors or pruners for harvesting. Make your cuts above a set of healthy leaves.

The wound will close faster, and the remaining plant will look better. Rinse off the clippings and remove tough stems and any discolored or damaged leaves and start cooking.

Store the extra, unwashed leafy herbs in a vase of water and loosely cover with a plastic bag. Keep basil on the kitchen counter and cold-tolerant herbs like parsley and cilantro in the refrigerator.

Wrap thicker-leafed herbs like sage and thyme in a paper towel, set inside a plastic bag and place

in a warmer section of the fridge.

Don’t be afraid to keep harvesting. Regular picking encourages new growth for future harvests.

Just be sure to leave enough foliage to maintain plant growth.

You can harvest as much as 50 to 75% from established annual herbs and one third of perennial herbs at one time.

Clip off leaves and stems before the plant begins flowering to encourage more tender growth.

You’ll get the greatest concentration of flavor when the plant has formed buds, but before they open. However, don’t discard the flowers if you’ve waited too long.

Enjoy the beauty and added flavor of basil, lavender, lovage, monarda, oregano, Rosemary, sage, sweet marjoram and thyme blossoms in salads, soups and other beverages.

As the season winds down, consider preserving some of your favorite herbs to use all winter long and to give as gifts.

Drying is one of the easiest ways to preserve your herbal harvest. Collect large amounts of basil, rosemary, marjoram and sage just prior to flowering. Cut the plants back about halfway

in the morning after the dew has just dried off the leaves. Rinse – do not soak – the clippings and then remove any damaged or dried leaves.

Gather the herbs into small bundles and secure with a rubber band. As the stems shrink, so does the rubber band. Use a spring-type clothespin to hang the bundles from a clothesline or hanger.

Store the bundled herbs in a warm, dry, airy place out of direct sunlight for drying. Some gardeners cover the drying herbs with a paper bag to keep them clean.

You can also dry herbs in the microwave. Remove the leaves from freshly harvested herbs.

Evenly spread two cups of washed herb leaves on a double thickness of paper towel. Microwave on high for four to six minutes, depending on your microwave.

Fully dried herbs will be brittle and rattle when stirred. Store dried herbs in an airtight container for later use. Label the container with the name of the herb and date preserved.

Then add these flavorful additions to your meals throughout the winter. You’re sure to savor the flavor and memories these homegrown preserved herbs add to every meal.

BICKERT’S

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Borough of Bath is asking for the public’s help in creating a motto that will capture the importance and spirit of the borough. The idea was that of Councilman Frank Hesch and all members of council were quickly on board.

“We have a new building [and] a new spirit going on,” said Council President Mark Saginario. “[This] is great.”

The competition for the new motto runs from August 6 until September 6 and is open to all members of the public, not just residents of Bath.

There is no limit to the number of mottos an individual submits, though each motto must be no more than 10 words and not copied from another town. The motto can call back to the borough’s history or geography.

To submit a motto, individuals can either email their ideas to bathmotto@gmail.com or drop off their ideas on paper to the borough’s municipal building.

Each entry must include the individual’s name and connection to Bath.

A committee will narrow the entries down to five and council will vote on the winner during its September 12 meeting. The winner will receive gift cards to various borough businesses.

Catasauqua High brings Charm of Hollywood Classic to the stage

by KERI LINDENMUTH The Catasauqua High School Drama Club presented their 2018 Freddy Awards-contending spring musical from March 9-11, bringing the classic Hollywood film Singin’ in the Rain to life.

Northampton Borough Council Tables rental ordinance decision After public hearing

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Northampton Borough Council once again voted to table its proposed rental inspection ordinance following a public hearing during which residents and borough landlords voiced their opinions and concerns about the long-debated ordinance. The hearing, held on Thursday, August 2, preceded council’s public workshop meeting.

The hearing’s rhetoric echoed past public hearings and discussions, with most landlords against the ordinance and most residents in favor of it.

Landlord Joan Marinkovits read from the Emmaus Chapter 11 housing ordinance during the hearing. The ordinance puts the burden of registration on the tenant and does not require a fee for landlords.

While Marinkovits said she believes rental units should be inspected, she does not believe in rental unit registration.

“I do not understand why I need to be licensed to rent property,” she said.

Accompanying Marinkovits was one of her tenants. The tenant’s daughter recently moved in with him. Marinkovits said she would “have to” evict him if the ordinance was passed because he would be “living there illegally.”

Councilwoman Judy Kutzler countered this claim, calling it “not true.”

“You have a choice to evict,” she said.

Marinkovits and her tenant left the hearing midway through.

Other landlords agreed that they would be open to inspections. However, like Marinkovits, their biggest issue seemed to be registration fees.

“The last thing I need is another fee,” said one landlord.

However, residents said something must be done with the apartments in the borough before they bring down the property values of their homes.

“Some are deplorable,” said resident Donna Persing. “I would not let my dog live [in them].”

Resident Kathy Novograwtz agreed. The fee, she said, is really “a charge” that “is paying for people to inspect these places.”

Landlords, she said, are “basically business owners.”

Councilman Robert McHale, a member of the borough’s rental inspection ordinance committee, said landlords’ comments and suggestions have been reflected in the updated ordinance draft. Inspections will be done every four years, and a new construction exemption has been added. In addition, if violations are found, there is a courtesy first inspection.

G O NGGOO!! !

In regards to the charge, Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said the money goes into a separate line item for rental property maintenance in the borough’s general fund. Reduced expenses can mean reduced fees.

“Does public safety have a price tag?” Councilwoman Kutzler asked residents.

However, Mayor Thomas Reenock still spoke out against the ordinance.

“This ordinance needs more than a tweaking,” he said. “It needs another realignment.”

Mayor Reenock also took issue with complaints about borough properties.

“I got three councilmen downgrading my borough constantly,” he said.

It was shortly after this statement that the hearing was called

to an end.

After a brief recess, Councilman McHale motioned to table the ordinance until the next borough meeting. He asked that the ordinance draft and inspection form be posted on the borough’s website so members of the public can view it.

An ocean away, Allentown native Serves in U.S. Navy, lives in Europe, Supports NATO mission

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Brian T. Glunt, Navy Office of Community Outreach A 2000 William Allen High School graduate and Allentown, Pennsylvania, native is serving our country in the Navy, living on the coast of Spain, and participating in a critical NATO ballistic missile defense (BMD)

mission while assigned to the guided-missile destroyer USS Ross.

Senior Chief Petty Officer Eric Aguirre is a gas turbine systems technician aboard one of the four advanced warships forwarddeployed to Rota, Spain, a small village on the country’s southwest coast 65 miles south of the city of Seville.

A Navy gas turbine systems technician is responsible for the maintenance and operation of four gas turbine engines, three Allison turbine generators and all it’s auxiliary equipment.

Aguirre credits success in the Navy with lessons learned growing up in Allentown.

“Growing up in Allentown, I learned the lessons of showing up early for work, to be on time and never late,” said Aguirre. “That prepared me for the Navy.”

These four destroyers are forward-deployed in Rota to fulfill the United States’ phased commitment to NATO BMD while also carrying out a wide range of missions to support the security of Europe.

According to the NATO website, many countries have, or are trying to develop ballistic missiles. The ability to acquire these capabilities does not necessarily mean there is an immediate intent to attack NATO, but that the alliance has a responsibility to take any possible threat into account as part of its core task of collective defense.

U.S. Navy Aegis ballistic missile defense provides scalability, flexibility and mobility. These systems are equally beneficial to U.S. assets, allies and regional partners in all areas of the world. Positioning four ballistic missile defense ships in Spain provides an umbrella of protection to forwarddeployed forces, friends and allies while contributing to a broader Continued on page 16

Martin on Main brings music To downtown Nazareth

By LAUREN PITTS Acoustic tunes resonated throughout downtown Nazareth on Saturday, August 4 as festivalgoers strolled along Main Street, craft beers in hand and bluegrass melodies in the air.

Now in its 11th year, the Martin on Main festival began as a way to celebrate Martin Guitars’ 175-year legacy. Two stages, at the end of Main Street and in the Nazareth circle, featured dozens of artists showcasing the iconic instruments. Performers included acoustic rock band The Beautiful Distortion, Wil Maring, Robert Bowlin, and Martin aficionados from throughout the country displaying their talents

on the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum Main Stage.

The Martin Guitar Company has produced world-renowned acoustic instruments by hand for more than a century. The familyowned business remains dedicated to musical excellence and quality craftsmanship while also preserving artistic integrity, according to the company mission.

Cynthia Anderson of the Nazareth Bath Chamber of Commerce, estimated approximately 4,000-6,000 people would attend the event. The festival appealed to every age and interest; wineries and breweries offered tastings, food trucks and vendors served everything from walking

tacos to Italian ice, and 60+ local artisans displayed handcrafted items available for purchase.

One attendee stated, “It’s just a great way for everyone to come together and listen to music while getting excited about guitars and local history.”

The Martin Guitar Company’s own booth drew a steady crowd throughout the day, providing music lovers the opportunity to strum one of the world-renowned instruments firsthand. Some stopped by to watch guitar-making demonstrations, while others gathered to share stories about their own Martin guitars and the company’s impact on their lifelong passion for music.

Check Up

A young boy went into a mechanic’s garage to use the phone. He dialed the local doctor and asked, “Doctor, do you need someone to mow your grass? (Pause) Oh, you already have someone for that job.

Well, are you satisfied with his work? (Pause) You are. OK. Thank you, sir.” The boy turned to leave the garage when the mechanic said, “Say, son, if you’re looking for work, I could use someone to cut my grass.” The boy quickly responded, “Oh, thanks, but I already have a lawn-cutting job.” “You do?” asked the mechanic. “I thought I just heard you asking the doctor if he needed help.” The kid smiled. “I’m the one who works for the doctor. I was just checking up on myself.”

It is always a good time to check up on ourselves! God commands us to do just that! “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways” (Haggai 1:7). David checked up on himself, “I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies” (Psalm 119:59). The Bible commands us, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith....” (II Corinthians 13:5).

Christians are warned to carefully check up on themselves before partaking of the Lord’s Supper, “Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself...For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged” (I Corinthians 11:27-31).

Let us pray as did David, “Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart” (Psalm 26:2). “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24).

“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD” (Lamentations 3:40).

defense of the United States.

Guided-missile destroyers are 510 feet long warships that provide multi-mission offensive and defensive capabilities. The ships are armed with tomahawk cruise missiles, advanced gun systems, close-in gun systems and longrange missiles to counter the threat to friendly forces posed by manned aircraft, anti-ship, cruise and tactical ballistic missiles.

Destroyers are deployed globally and can operate independently or as part of carrier strike groups, surface action groups or amphibious readiness groups.

Their presence helps the Navy control the sea. Sea control is the necessity for everything the Navy does. The Navy cannot project power, secure the commons, deter aggression, or assure allies

submarines have been over their decades-long lifetimes, the fleet is aging, with the oldest submarines now more than 30 years old, well past their planned service lives.

A new and effective successor is critical to national security, and the Navy is well into the process of designing and fielding a more advanced ballistic missile submarine, which will provide the necessary sea-based nuclear deterrence into the 2080s and beyond.

Submarine sailors are some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy. The training is highly technical, and each crew has to be able to operate, maintain, and repair every system or piece of equipment on board. Regardless of their specialty, everyone also has to learn how everything on the submarine works and how to respond in emergencies to become “qualified in submarines” and earn the right

The ship is named after Capt.

Donald Kirby Ross, who was presented a Medal of Honor by Adm. Chester Nimitz for his actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

“I’m proud to lead such a dedicated, experienced, resilient and mission-oriented crew,” said Cmdr. Bryan S. Gallo, commanding officer of USS Ross.

“Team Ross always meets the mission while taking care of each other and having a fun time doing it.”

While serving in the Navy may present many challenges, Aguirre has found many great rewards.

Aguirre is most proud of earning the rank of chief petty officer, an important career mark for an enlisted sailor.

Unique experiences build strong fellowship among the crew of more than 300 women and men

to wear the coveted gold or silver dolphins on their uniforms.

“The men and women from across our nation who volunteer for military service embody the fundamental values of honor, courage and sacrifice that are the bedrock of our republic,” said Rear Adm. Blake Converse, Commander, Submarine Group Nine. “They protect and defend America from above, below, and across the world’s oceans. The entire nation should be extremely proud of the hard work that these sailors do every single day to support the critical mission of the Navy and the submarine force.”

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Pope and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes, one that will provide a critical component of the Navy the nation needs.

“What we do is hard work but I like that we provide nuclear deterrence,” Pope said. “My favorite hobby, in fact, is providing nuclear deterrence. It keeps the peace.”

aboard Ross. Their hard work and professionalism are a testament to the namesake’s dedication and the ship’s motto, “Fortune Favors Valor.” The crew is motivated, and can quickly adapt to changing conditions, according to Navy officials. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches and drills. Serving aboard a guidedmissile destroyer instills account-

ability and toughness and fosters initiative and integrity.

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Aguirre and other Ross sailors know they are a part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs.

“The Navy has helped me to develop leadership skills and to be

able to lead during critical missions,” said Aguirre. “My favorite parts about serving in Spain have been experiencing other cultures and learning different views on life from the locals.”
