Looking by Back Ed Pany Coal to War, part 5 of 6

Catherine Csencsitz, graduate of Mansfield University, Bloomsburg University and Northampton Community College.

In this continuing series, my friendly neighbor, Catherine Csencsitz, remembers her parents from Nanticoke. Her father served in the Army during World War II, and her mother worked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

When her father, John Swiderski, returned home, he needed employment. He joined a painting firm. One of his jobs was painting rooms at the Pennsylvania State Hospital near Nanticoke.

There, he met an attractive young lady, Ms. Philamay Wadzinski, a secretary at the hospital.

A romance developed, and they dated for two years.

Many of his neighbors traveled to work at the Bethlehem Steel because coal mining was declin-

ing. John joined the group and was also hired. He resided in the home of the Gufroviches in Bethlehem. The Gufroviches were natives of Nanticoke.

In 1948, John married Philamay at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nanticoke. The bride didn’t wear a white dress. She wore a regular dress. They just didn’t have the money. Their reception was held at home.

John worked in the beam yard, moving steel beams on a carrier to cranes to load on railcars and trucks. There were accidents, even deaths, so extreme care was taken by the employees. Housing was scarce. They were able to rent an Continued on page 4

Jacobsburg Historical Society’s Very special Christmas at Boulton Open House

Submitted by AMY GULAR The Jacobsburg Historical Society will proudly open its museums and displays for our annual Christmas at Boulton on Saturday, December 11 and Sunday, December 12.

This special weekend will showcase the J. Joseph Henry House, adorned in beautiful Victorian Christmas décor. This exquisite house museum was built in 1832 and was continuously occupied by the Henry family for five generations. We are grateful that the Henry family saved so many of their precious belongings because today’s visitors are able to view a unique display of original furnishings, clothing, musical instruments, china, and other antiques within the home where they were actually used.

This year’s Christmas at Boulton will again feature the marvelous exhibit of Henry family clothing. Many of the outfits had been in storage for more than 100 years. This exquisite historic fashion display is not to be missed this holiday season.

A tour of this stunning historic home will be sure to stir your Christmas spirit.

In addition to the Henry House museum, Christmas at Boulton visitors will be able to

experience the warmth of the fire in the summer kitchen. The historic site's exhibit areas will be open including a lighted display of historic carriages and sleighs in the Carriage Barn, the Blacksmith Shop and the Boat House Guests may also admire the Nicholas Hawk Gun Shop, an authentic, 200-year-old log gun shop that was moved from its original location in Monroe County and reconstructed on the Boulton campus.

The Jacobsburg Historical Society is the home of the Pennsylvania Longrifle Museum. This museum, open during Christmas at Boulton, contains a substantial collection of original, handcrafted Pennsylvania longrifles and items related to the making of longrifles from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This museum features more than 100 historic arms on display and is currently featuring an impressive 18th c. Horn Object Collection on loan from Tim and Terri Lubenesky along with new displays of Henry family artifacts including some of their personal firearms.

The Historical Society’s Gift Shop is stocked with unique items for holiday gift-giving.

Refreshments including our fa-

Please come and enjoy Christmas At Boulton. The experience is certain to get you in a holiday mood. The site is located at 402403 Henry Rd., Nazareth, Pa. (just off the Belfast exit of Route 33). Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 11 and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, December 12. Adults are $10, children 12 and under are free. If you are unable to attend before Christmas or wish to experience the elegant beauty of the Henry House again this holiday season, the House Museum and Gift Shop will be open on Sunday, December 26 from noon to 3 p.m., $5 admission, weather permitting.

Northampton Superintendent presents revised health And safety plan

By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Northampton Area School District Board of Directors meeting, Superintendent Joseph

Kovalchik presented proposed revisions to the district’s health and safety plan. The plan, which made masks mandatory, was last

approved in August. A week later, the State required masks in all schools. That mandate expires in January. Northampton will need to implement a revised plan, or its August plan will go back into effect.

Kovalchik presented two options: mask-mandatory and mask-optional. The mask-optional plan requires a mitigation plan should cases rise. If the number of positive cases reaches a certain threshold, said Kovalchik, masks would be mandatory for seven days in the affected school building. For example, masks would be required after seven positive cases in Moore Elementary and 24 in the high school. Masks will still be required in nurses’ offices and on buses, per federal mandate.

Quarantine revisions were also proposed. Students will quarantine if a member of their household tests positive. If a student in school tests positive, fellow students will not quarantine unless they display symptoms.

A third option was proposed by school board member Robert Mentzell. He asked that masks be required for students in grades K through 5 until parents have the opportunity to get their children vaccinated. He said parents of high schoolers and middle schoolers had more time to schedule vaccinations, while vaccines for children ages five to 11 have only opened up this month.

As with past meetings, a group of parents opposed to required mask-wearing spoke up during public comment. They refer-

enced claims of increased chances of carbon dioxide poisoning caused by masks, gene pool alterations caused by the vaccine, and sudden death caused by the vaccine (none of these claims are supported by the CDC or medical researchers).

The board did not vote on the health and safety plan. It is expected to vote in an upcoming meeting before the state mandate expires.

In other news, the board approved the district to begin the contracting process for a potential elementary school at Route 329 and Seemsville Road. Contracts with D’Huy Engineering and KCBA architectural services will be prepared.

-----------------------

“This does not mean that a building wil be built.”.

Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik -----------------------

“This does not mean that a building will be built,” said Kovalchik. He said he doesn’t anticipate construction even starting for three to four years.

The approval does not mean the disposition of Moore Elementary, Franklin Elementary, the Washington Technology Building, or the District Administration Building, though Kovalchik admitted the district does have issues with those buildings.

Estimates from several years ago predicted a renovation cost of $70 million for the buildings or

a cost of $71 million to construct the new building.

Directors James Chuss, Kim Bretzik, and Dr. Michael Baird voted against the contracts.

Chuss said he would like to explore bond options and would prefer a second evaluation of Moore Elementary.

The board also discussed complaints regarding a book available in the district’s e-book library.

The district is part of a local consortium that shares books via an e-book platform called Sora.

Parents have complained about “The Pride Guide: A Guide to Sexual and Social Health for LGBTQ Youth.” For a book to be removed from the library, the consortium must vote. In the past decade, only two books have been removed.

Finally, the evening’s meeting marked the last meeting for director Roy Maranki. Maranki has served for eight years on the board. During that time, he has served on several committees and started the annual car show, which has raised over $20,000 for the high school’s student council.

“The success of our students starts at home,” Maranki said, thanking parents for their support over the years.

He also thanked Kovalchik.

“You have been instrumental in the district’s growth,” he said.

He thanked fellow board members and also made sure to thank every member of the NASD community, from maintenance workers to administrators to teachers.

“We have accomplished a lot together.”

apartment on Ridge Avenue in Allentown. The rent was $36.50 a month. Rents were controlled by the Office of Rent Stabilization.

This sounds like another bureaucratic office!

The Swiderskis were actually evicted, as the owner filed to increase the rent. Pressed for an apartment, they resided in a Bethlehem Housing Authority home.

The rent was $35 a month. Frustrated, they searched for a new home.

The Stevdon Realty Corp. was constructing new homes in Sherwood Park. They obtained a veterans loan through FHA and purchased a split-level home for $13,765.50. Their deposit was $25; the mortgage, $66 a month.

Guess that’s why we called the period the good old days!

Catherine still has the bedroom furniture of her parents. She showed me a $17.50 mahogany chair. Mr. Swiderski worked at the Bethlehem Steel for 35 years, through layoffs and strikes. He was a member of the U.S.W. (United Steel Workers). The union held meetings on the south side of Bethlehem.

Catherine and her brother, John, enjoyed the union Christmas parties and the gifts they received. Her father attended my union meetings; after the meetings, there was fellowship with bountiful food and a glass or two of beer.

Her father was very personable and was an avid Penn State fan.

Her mother was a great cook and baker and was the frugal family money manager. After 32 years at the Steel, Mr. Swiderski retired as a proud steelworker.

Catherine was born in 1950.

Her education journey included Notre Dame Elementary, Bethlehem Catholic High School, Mansfield University, Bloomsburg University and Northampton Community College.

Before her education and business journey, she was employed at the Bethlehem Steel and, later, Western Electric, but company layoffs resulted in Catherine being hired as a teacher by the Colonial Northampton IU, where she met her husband, Gregory Csencsitz.

Her salary was $7,600.

After purchasing her new Chevy (automobiles were a bit

cheaper, at $4,800), Catherine was hired in the business office of Pocono Mountain High School.

She was later hired by the Parkland School District, being employed for 19 years as an assistant business manager. A true professional, she was very precise in her daily office duties. After a fruitful, dedicated career, she retired.

I am happy to say Catherine and her husband, Greg, are our friendly neighbors.

In two weeks, Catherine will be taking us to two local hospitals. Why?

Gab Over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and shopped at some local businesses for Shop Small Saturday! The annual Turkey Day game between Northampton and Catty took place after the game was cancelled last year due to COVID. This year was the 98th game between the two schools. At halftime the Konkrete Kids had a 34-point lead and went on to beat Catty 47-13. This was Northampton’s seventh consecutive win against Catty. Congrats Konkrete Kids!.... We almost made it to December without any snow. Woke up on Sunday to a light dusting outside...Did you see “The Farmer and the Belle: Saving Santaland” at the Roxy?

A 1997 Northampton HS graduate, Jenn Gotzon Chandler, and her husband Jim Chandler produced and starred in the movie.

I heard it was a popular showing and the Roxy had one of their best turnouts since reopening after the COVID closure. I wanted to get there to see the new James Bond movie but time just did not allow. Pretty soon they’ll have their Christmas fundraiser sponsored by the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce. The movie is “It’s A Wonderful Life” and they’re going to show it for two days, Wednesday, Dec. 15 at

Bath had their annual tree lighting on Sunday as well along with the Bath Lion’s Candy Cane Hunt. I heard that over 90 children participated! What a great turnout for their first time havin’ it...I saw that the Moore Township Association for Families in Need is inviting anyone to reach out if they know a family that could use some extra help making this holiday season a happy and cheerful one. You can email them at MTAFIN@hotmail.com or message them via Facebook messenger...This past Tuesday was Giving Tuesday, a day where everyone can come together and show their generosity and donate to an organization, charity or movement. It’s a great initiative but I think the thought behind Giving Tuesday should be carried all through the year instead of just assigned to one day, don’t you think? Some new playground equipment recently arrived at Surrey Glen Park in Lower Nazareth Township. I guess more is on the way too. The playground equipment was made possible by a grant through Northampton County Livable Landscapes in the amount of $100,000...That’s all for now, gotta start decorating the front porch for Christmas.

That reminds me real quick, we’re still accepting festive holiday photos for our December photo of the month contest. Photos don’t have to be from this year.

Any festive photos you got that represent the holiday season, just email them on over to cstroh@ homenewspa.com by Dec. 20...

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

Neuropathy

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

I have treated neuropathy for nearly 20 years at this point. Allow me to rephrase that; I have assisted those who have this awful condition for over 20 years… and I continue to see a dramatic rise in our community. Why is that? Does anyone even ask this question? I see firsthand how this condition devastates lives. If you currently suffer with peripheral neuropathy, you are already aware of the pain, dysfunction, and lifestyle disruption that occurs as well. Even the name makes this condition sound painful…it is!

Initially the symptoms may be barely detectable, yet over time can get worse and lead to significant reduction of independence.

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a severe disorder of your nerves.

While it is true that diabetes accounts for many cases, oftentimes, peripheral neuropathy is unable to be linked to a specific factor. With that being said, this condition can be caused by medications such as statin drugs or chemotherapy, exposure to poisons and toxic substances, vitamin deficiencies, trauma, compression of nerves, auto-immune conditions, tumors, infections, and other diseases such as kidney disease, liver disease, connective tissue disorders and potentially, underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). What also appears to be a significant factor is the role poor circulation plays in the severity of this condition. This last one is a huge problem across the board.

Peripheral neuropathy affects the legs, feet, arms and hands. Symptoms include: loss of balance, tingling, restless legs, numbness, burning, freezing, weakness and throbbing pain.

Not fun. Additionally, swelling, discoloration, fatigue and “heavy” feelings of limbs can

occur. It can be common to experience extreme sensitivity to even light touch. I have patients who describe feeling like they are wearing socks when they clearly are not. To make matters worse, blood pressure abnormalities can occur and, of course, difficulty with sleep and routine activities of daily living further complicate this upsetting condition.

Some present to my office thinking that they may just have sciatica or pinched nerves. They could and often do. However, while compression of sensitive nerve tissue is always evaluated for in my practice, PN goes significantly beyond and such cases require an advanced, multi-factorial, clinical type of approach.

With all this being said, neuropathies are a challenge to treat.

In the more advanced stages, I find that treatment is successful if even only 25 or 50% improvements are made. Remember, this condition is not only how you “feel” but also about being completely unable to live your life as you want to. With PN, even simple tasks are a burden.

One of the most dramatic realworld cases I have seen was when my wife and I were travelling through Massachusetts. We had just pulled into a country diner, and I witnessed a middle-aged gentleman painfully climb from his vehicle. Due to his poor balance and apparent weakness, he needed to cling to the door of his vehicle, and then shuffle down his hood, grabbed onto bushes until he finally got to the walkway rails to the front door and just about collapsed on the front counter as he ever-so-slowly made his way into the restaurant. This gentleman’s legs were reddish/brown, swollen and significant varicose veins were protruding. My wife was upset to see it and candidly so was I. Now that we are settled into

December 4, 5, 11, 12, 2021 January 8, 9, 15, 16; February 5, 6 2022

our expanded clinical facility our practice will be taking a bigger role in this community in addressing the pain and suffering associated with this dreadful condition. I have met with several local doctors and pain management specialists and together we will utilize all of our distinct specialties to create an effective multidisciplinary approach. From my Natural Perspective, once appropriately evaluated with a thorough history, blood work, circu-

latory evaluation, and sensory exam, peripheral neuropathy can be likely improved upon. Now with the combination of being able to assist with coordination of care among specialists as could be required, I can see good things coming in 2022. I recommend and utilize various FDA approved devices such as near infrared lasers and nerve regeneration devices, vibration therapy, circulation improving techniques, along with a proven metabolic

program geared towards neuropathy. (A side note needs to be made that the Cancer Centers of America also use one of the techniques that I administer.)

My best to you.

By KERI LINDENMUTH The holiday season is officially underway in Bath Borough. On Sunday, November 28, hundreds of residents came out to Monocacy Creek Park to celebrate the season, sing carols, and watch as the towering Christmas tree lit the night sky.

The event followed the firstannual Candy Cane Hunt in the borough. Nearly 100 children hunted for 1,000 candy canes.

The fun event was the perfect way to start the season and get families excited for the tree lighting.

Mayor Fiorella Mirabito said the tree lighting is one of her favorite events. She was joined by members of borough council, State Senator Mario Scavello, and State Representative Ann Flood.

“This is the time of year we missed last year,” said Scavello. In 2020, the tree lighting ceremony was streamed online due to COVID. Everyone coming together again, he said, made this special event extra special.

Residents who came out to the tree lighting enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate from Cub Pack 33, horse and carriage rides (sponsored by the Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce and Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman and her husband Darrin Heckman), musical performances by Kaitlin Kolonia and

Justin Abarca, and, for the first time, ice sculpting demonstrations by Roger Wing of Philadelphia. Families watched as he turned 300-pound blocks of ice into snowmen, gingerbread men, and more.

“It gets bigger and better every year,” said Council President Michele Ehrgott.

She thanked her fellow council members, borough administration, and public works.

“It is a privilege to work with everyone,” she said.

While the tree is typically decorated by the Bath Lions Club, the permanent tree the Club planted Continued on page 15

Budget approval and rental Property agreement discussed At Lehigh Township Supervisor Meeting

By LAUREN SCHUSTER The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, November 23, in the township municipal building. Among old business items the board revisited were updates on the progress of the Cherryville intersection project, the adoption of the 2022 budget, and the official implementation of a rain date for future trick-ortreat in the township. The most recent inspection of the Cherryville intersection by PennDOT found some issues with curbing and pedestrian ramps that require repairs. PennDOT authorities are allowing the project contractor to decide how best to resolve these issues. After December 31 of this year, the township will no longer need to pay for construction easement involved in the project.

The board then voted to adopt the 2022 budget plan. The plan

had been advertised and made available for public viewing earlier this month. No changes were made to the advertised plan.

The adopted budget plan includes no tax increases for Lehigh Township in 2022.

Following discussions of inclement weather surrounding last month’s scheduled trick-or- treat, the board approved a motion to institute a rain date for future trick-or-treating in the township.

The date for trick-or-treat in Lehigh Township will remain as the last Friday of the month from 6 to 8 p.m. The rain date will be the following Sunday from 5 to 7 p.m. The township manager will be responsible for making the decision to hold trick-or-treat on the rain date when necessary, as well as notifying local media outlets.

In new business, the board also

discussed complaints of water runoff at a school bus stop at the intersection of Bethany Place and Cashew Drive. The supervisors intend to contact proper school and transportation authorities to discuss potential solutions, such as the possible relocation of the bus stop.

Solicitor David Backenstoe reported an update in regards to ongoing issues with a shortterm rental property on Longacre Drive in Cherryville. The property in question has long been the subject of complaints from the surrounding community. Backenstoe stated that an agreement was currently being negotiated that would involve the property owners withdrawing their appeal to the zoning board if permitted to continue rental operations through Jan. 16, 2022.

Chairwoman Cindy Miller also acknowledged the “fantastic job” the public works committee did preparing for the township’s Christmas tree lighting, held November 27 in Bryfogle Park.

Thanksgiving Crashes on Route 145, Walnutport

Submitted by CHIEF SCOTT FOGEL On November 25 at 12:22 p.m., Lehigh Township Police were dispatched to Riverview Drive (SR145) just north of Washington Drive for a two-vehicle crash with entrapment.

A 2005 black Ford F150, operated by Tanner Shelanick, 22, from Catasauqua, had collided head-on with a Toyota Sienna minivan, operated by Jennifer Gomez-Marrero, 37, from Laurys Station. Shelanik was ejected from the Ford F150, and Gomez-Marrero had to be extricated from the van. No other occupants were in the vehicles. Shelanick was transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Muhlenberg with several undisclosed injuries. Gomez-Marrero was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Cedar Crest with several undisclosed injuries. Preliminary investigation indicated that alcohol may have contributed to the crash. The crash remains under investigation.

While Township Police were investigating the crash on 145 at Washington, at 3:29 p.m. a second crash was dispatched. The second crash was a lone blue Harley Davidson motorcycle

that crashed off the roadway in the area of 157 Riverview Dr. (approximately one mile from the initial crash scene). According to witnesses the motorcycle began to swerve, then left the roadway and crashed into an embankment. The sole operator of the motorcycle was identified as John Czuba, age 57 of the Danielsville area of Lehigh Township. Czuba was pronounced deceased at Lehigh Valley Hospital, Muhlenberg. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Route 145 was closed for about five hours during the investigation.

Township Police Department was assisted by Lehigh Township Fire, Lehigh Township Fire Police, Walnutport Fire Department, Northampton Regional EMS, and NOVA EMS. Neighboring Walnutport Police and Moore Township Police assisted with covering calls in Lehigh Township.

Allen Township Supervisors Approve revised final plan for Towpath Estates

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Tuesday, November 23, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors approved the revised final plan for the Towpath Estates residential development. These plans were approved in 2007. However, revisions and the ongoing conflict with the Northampton Borough Municipal Authority have delayed the project.

In the revised plans, pipes beneath West 27th Street and the adjacent railroad tracks are no longer needed. Construction by PPL upstream from the property has reduced the stormwater flow, so the development no longer requires the extra capacity. Township engineer Stan Wojciechowski estimates this will save developers over $250,000.

With these savings, supervisors asked Tim Livengood, the development’s owner, to pay for the improvements to 27th Street, including paving and road widening. This request differs from the agreement a past board of supervisors made in which they offered to pay for the road improvements. This prior agreement confused current supervisors.

Typically, said Dale Hassler, developers cover the costs for road improvements. The only reason West 27th Street needs paving and widening, he added, is because the development will increase traffic.

“To me, it is a win-win,” added Gary Behler. Even after paying for the improvements, developers would still save roughly $100,000.

Only Gerald Montanari voiced concerns over making the developers pay. However, he approved the plan once Livengood said that he would have no issue paying.

Road work, Livengood added, would be completed by Aug. 31, 2022.

Other township road improvements discussed during the meeting included safety improvements to Valley Road. The road has a sharp curve that has caused issues for drivers and nearby property owners.

Wojciechowski said there are several ways the road could be made safer, including reflective signage, “Curve Ahead” signs, thermoplastic painting, chevron signs, and milling to slow vehicles.

Supervisors asked that signs and painted lines be added to alert drivers and encourage them to slow down.

In other news, Township Manager Ilene Eckhart read the bids for the township’s municipal waste and recycling contract. J.P. Mascaro and Waste Management both made submissions.

The cost of three containers would be $1.9 million with J.P. Mascaro and $1.7 million with Waste Management. The cost of six containers would be $1.9 million with J.P. Mascaro and $2.2 million with Waste Management.

Unlimited trash collection would cost $1.9 million with J.P. Mascaro and $2.7 million with Waste Management.

“The numbers speak for themselves,” said Albert DeGennaro, general counsel for J.P. Mascaro.

DeGennaro was present at the meeting to take questions.

“The key is we are a family business,” he added. He also mentioned J.P. Mascaro’s new, state-of-the-art, $20 million recycling facility.

Supervisors will award the contract during their December 14 meeting.

Finally, it was announced that Supervisor Carl Edwards has resigned. Edwards, elected in 2019, chose to submit his resignation due to health reasons.

Supervisors approved his resignation with “regret” and thanked him for his time and service.

Paul Link, a member of the planning commission, expressed interest in filling the vacant position. Supervisors approved his application. He will serve until the end of 2023.

“He will make an outstanding supervisor,” said Behler.

The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be on Tuesday, December 14, at 7 p.m.

NAZARETH AREA Nazareth School Board votes To go masks optional

by JOE KORBA At the outset of the November 23 meeting of the Nazareth School Board, a member of the public and parent, James Cunningham, addressed the board to make sure they are aware of a court injunction that came down on November 17. The injunction directly impacts the way the public can comment and address board members. Cunningham said that it was a “great day” for the Nazareth community.

“Americans have the right to express their views at meetings,” he said.

The injunction, issued by U.S. District Judge Gene Pratter in response to parents at the Pennsbury School District suing because they felt their free speech was being restricted, says that certain parts of the school board’s speech policies were unconstitutional. Protected speech at board meetings now includes directly addressing board members or staff and does not require the speaker to give his or her address before being allowed to speak.

The Nazareth Board said that they were aware of the injunction and sent their policies to their legal council to adopt and comply with the court order.

A motion to approve a new solicitor was passed unanimously.

Attorney Alicia Luke of the Fox

Rothschild Law Firm accepted the position and introduced herself to the public and board.

Attorney Luke noted that she is familiar with the area and went to undergrad at Muhlenberg College.

After some routine motions and reports, the board discussed amending the agenda to vote on going back to the district’s original health and safety plan. Board member Denise Glaros made a motion to go back to the original plan but keep the updated quarantine amendment. The plan would make masks optional for students and would not force asymptomatic students to quarantine. After some brief public comment, both for and against mandated masking, the board adjourned for an executive session for legal advice from their solicitor.

After the brief executive session, the board returned to discuss the motion. Board members Ken Butz and Joseph Vasko voiced concern about an abrupt change and the possibility that a lawsuit by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro could force masking on December 5.

“You want to talk about the kids being political pawns? What if they have to mask back up after a week?” Vasko said.

Board Member Attorney Kath-

ryn Roberts said that waiting until kids are vaccinated is a false premise going by what she hears in the community. She did not support the idea of waiting any longer to end mandatory masking.

Ultimately, the vote took place near the end of the meeting with Board President Linda Stubits voting yes along with board members Denise Glaros, Gregory Leh, Jodi Mammana and Kathryn Roberts. Board members Joseph Vasko, Ken Butz and Melissa Kalinoski voted against the motion.

The motion passed to applause from the public in attendance.

The Nazareth School District will

return to their original mask optional health and safety plan as of November 24. Masking will still be required on all bussing in the district.

The next meeting of the Nazareth School Board will be December 14 at 7 p.m.

Nazareth Area Community Chorus will sing carols

greet children and read stories by the fire until 3 p.m.

Claude Shappelle will accompany the chorus and then stroll through the library with his guitar inviting visitors to sing along.

Tree Lighting Continued from page 7

several years ago has grown significantly.

“Trees grow!” laughed Lions Club President Jay Wetzel. “That tree now is way beyond our ability to reach the top!”

Still, the Lions Club was there to show their support on this special night as the tree was lit with new, colorful strings of lights.

“May the light [the tree] shines and the cheer it gives be the sign for our Borough of Bath,” said Father Chris Butera, of Sacred Heart Church, in his blessing.

An opening prayer was delivered by Rev. Michael Eckroth of Christ UCC Church. A closing prayer was delivered by Rev. Terrance Walsh of St. John’s Lutheran Church.

The 2021 tree lighting honoree was Steve Lambrinos, owner of Town & Country Restaurant.

This year, the restaurant celebrates its 40th anniversary. Lambrinos started Town & Country with his brother when he was only 19. It has since become a staple in the community.

“I hope the same light that the Lord guides us with will [guide us] to do the right thing for our community and our children,” he said before lighting the tree to the sounds of “oohs” and “ahhs.”

Of course, the evening wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Santa Claus himself. He came escorted by the Bath Volunteer Fire Department with candy canes for all of the kids. Children present were also given stuffed animals by Senator Scavello and books from Learn-n-Play.

Other members of the community who helped make the tree lighting possible are Unangst Tree Farms, who donated the tree in 2014; Mr. and Mrs. Barry Fenstermaker, who donated the evening’s candy canes; Bobby Siegfried, who assisted with the evening’s music; and the Community and Economic Development Committee, who sponsored the ice sculptor.

The next holiday event residents of Bath can look forward to is the Holiday History Festival on Saturday, December 4, and Sunday, December 5, at the Wolf Academy Historic Site.

to protect our most vulnerable residents.”

“As we head into the holidays, I would like to remind all Northampton County residents to do what they can to protect themselves and others from COVID-19,” says Lamont McClure.

“The pandemic isn’t over yet and flu season has also started. Please get vaccinated and, if you begin showing symptoms, get tested and quarantine.”

Employees and residents of Gracedale began receiving the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19 in December 2020.
