School board to hear Proposals for architect The Northampton Area School Board will hear proposals for an architect at their meeting on January 9. Interviews will follow later. The firm that is eventually chosen, possibly by January 23, would then move forward with designs for a new middle school. At a recent meeting, the board was presented a table of projected costs on construction of a school with an estimated 216,450 sq. ft. of space for 1,300 students. Cost comparisons were drawn by D’Huy engineer Arif Fazil on two possibilities: A proposed site at Seemsville Rd. & Rt. 329 (Nor-Bath Blvd.) in East Allen Township and
Year-end report shows Success of Atlas Museum
The Atlas Cement Memorial MuseumTrust met on December 12 and heard a report of activities of the museum from secretary Larry Oberly for the time period of December 1, 2010 through November 30, 2011. Edward Pany, Museum Curator, reported on the attendance for the previous twelve months as follows: Tours and public visitations, 352 persons; and education tours for school children, 653 students and teachers, for total visits of 1005. In addition, the Museum participated in two days of special programming with the Atlas Universal 7th grade learning team at the Northampton Area Middle School. There are more than 1,670 students and staff involved with that team. The museum also took part in two school wide assemblies at the Middle School that involved more than 900 students and staff. It must be noted that the total number of visitors is indeed larger than shown as not everyone who comes to
visit signs the guestbook. It is believed that the true number of visitors was close to 1,035. If all contacts are totaled, the museum has reached more than 3,135 in 2011. New artifacts and equipment added to the museum over the past year included: A blasting machine, by Mr. Charles Flynn of Austin Powder; a Resource Map of Pennsylvania by Roy Wagner; the Final sign of the Lehigh Portland Cement, Northampton Operations, Mr. Kreglow, and Whitehall Cement artifacts, by Mr. Keith Beil. The museum received a laptop computer, digital camera and related equipment through a county grant. This will be used to conduct the affairs of the Trust and to preserve an inventory of artifacts currently held in trust or on display. A photographic inventory is being made and will be backed up in multiple locations to preserve and record. All of the remaining oper-
Northampton County Miracle League breaks Ground On a cool and blue sky clear day in December the Miracle League of Northampton County reached another marvelous milestone in their journey towards providing a Miracle League Field in Northampton County. A ground-breaking ceremony marked the beginning of the construction phase of their project. Approximately 75 people attended this event in Continued on page 6
another that just recently was proposed, the former Bethlehem Vo-Tech Northampton Campus along Stadium Drive in Northampton, that is a stone’s throw from the present middle school and the senior high school. $2-Million Difference Fazil said the base cost would be virtually the same, $215 per square foot, but other factors entering the picture make a difference in the estimated cost, $79.8-million for the site in East Allen Township and $77.8-million for the Northampton location. Part of the costs involved with the Northampton site is demolishing both the for-
mer vo-tech building and the present three-pod middle school, $168,000 for the first and $2.04-million for the latter. At that meeting on Dec. 19, there was also discussion about a field house and a natatorium for students along with an indoor swimming pool. Cost estimates given then were only preliminary. It will take another year for bids to be solicited on construction after an architect is hired to come up with a school design. The Jan. 9 meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the administration building on Laubach Ave.
Fire in kitchen, East Allen Woman found unresponsive Ann Beynon, 76, was found unresponsive after a kitchen fire broke out in her home at 5303 Green Meadow Rd., Bath (East Allen Township) early Wednesday morning, Dec. 21. She was found at about 1:20 a.m. and was pronounced dead in Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg, Bethlehem, at 2:15 a.m., according to Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim. An autopsy was performed, but results were inconclusive. She had been ill for some time. There was very little dam-
age to the home, and the fire was contained to the kitchen where food had been burning on the stove. No Smoke Detectors State Police and the coroner’s office are investigating. East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Co. Chief Barry Frantz and the fire company’s fire marshal, John McDevitt, said there were no working smoke detectors in the home. Mrs. Beynon, wife of the late retired State Trooper Charles H. Beynon, was found lying in a hospital bed.

Good Point Editor Thomas Tryon, of the Sarasota, Florida, Herald Tribune, makes a convincing point in calling attention to missed taxes, those not collected on online-only sellers--such as Amazon. Noting that shoppers spent $861 million on Black Friday and the tax income this brought in from conventional retail outlets, he notes that state and local taxes were not collected on a large but unknown number of purchases made online. In view of the desperate need for income among local and state governments, with many jobs in the balance, a way should be found to see that legal taxes are collected on online sales as well as conventional sales. Online spending is huge. On the Monday after Thanksgiving it rose 22 percent--totaling $125 billion in sales. Such online sales totals on these two days make it evident state and local tax collections will be increased if online sellers are monitored as to sales, by new federal action or legislation.

There is a very good chance that someone you know has been diagnosed with Lyme disease. Last year, Pennsylvania had the second-highest number of confirmed cases of the disease in the country, trailing only New Jersey. It is not uncommon for Lyme disease to go undetected, be undertreated or misdiagnosed. As a result, many who suffer with the disease are frustrated with the inability to properly diagnose and treat it. I recently attempted to help rectify that situation by voting in favor of House Bill 272, legislation passed by the House Human Services Committee on Wednesday, Dec. 14. The bill, which may now be considered by the full House, allows a physician to prescribe long-term antibiotic therapy for late stage Lyme disease. It requires all health care insurance policies to cover treatment for Lyme disease, including long-term therapies. House Bill 272 also establishes a Department of Health task force to investigate and make recommendations regarding the prevention of Lyme disease and other tickborne infections. In addition, a program of public and professional education on the disease will be developed, in order to raise awareness of the long-term effects of the disease being misdiagnosed. Lyme disease is easily cured with antibiotics when caught early. Left untreated or undertreated, the disease can result in serious complications. We need to do all we can to make the public aware of preventive measures to take and the signs and symptoms of the disease, as well as ensure
that those who contract Lyme disease are equipped with the medication necessary to recover from it.

Letters from our Readers Property Owner's Choice That Benefits All To the Editor: This letter concerns something that I happened to read last week entitled Social vs. Private land ownership.. Diverse opinions are what help to make this the greatest nation on earth and the last bastion of freedom. The author's conclusions, however, are incorrect, misinformed, and misleading. While our
government owns millions of acres of land, I would hardly consider places like Nome Alaska, the Mohave Desert and Death Valley National Monument, as open space that has a direct benefit to our region.

A Clean Joke
Found this bouncin' around at work looking for some clean humor, hard to find these days, enjoy: The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special target of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?" he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back." "You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got." The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right. Get in." ~HPL need look no further than the necessary 100% tax increase in Upper Nazareth Township to see what happens when land is developed to its maximum residential capacity. If anyone has ever driven on a public road, enjoyed fire or police protection, hunted in a state park or conservation zone, fished in a local stream, enjoyed a walk at Jacobsburg State Park, taken a bike ride on the Nor-Bath Trail, or watched their children play soccer or baseball on a public field, then they have likely benefited from either some form of social land ownership or an Open Space Program.

We had a couple days of rain, but it cleared up pretty nice for Christmas Day, and a lot warmer than you’d expect at this time of year. After all, it is now officially winter. Rain came around again on Tuesday, but still temperatures are in the 40’s, so no snow like we had last year at this time. Places like Blue Mountain have been making snow to get along, but I’m sure they’d like the real stuff. It will be along before we know it and are ready for it. . . . With Christmas coming on Sunday, the banks and some other businesses were closed on Monday, but the shopping malls sure weren’t. They were reaping the harvest, or maybe the shoppers were, with all the discounts the merchants handed out. . . . Sorry to hear of Charley Beynon’s wife passing away at home this past week. They were both active in the Jaycees and scouts over the years. My sympa-
thies to their children, who are now adults on their own. . . . The Eagles are out of the playoffs, but have one more game with Washington and then the players can head home and watch the rest of the season and the Super Bowl on the tube. Big discussion who will be back next year, and some fans are calling for Andy Reid to go. We’ll see. Giants fans will be rooting for their team to beat the Cowboys on Sunday. . . .Anyhow, now the pro basketball season is starting up again – I can’t wait till baseball is back. . . . High school basketball is going strong, too, and for some wrestling will be the big thing. It’s not one of my favorite sports, but each to his own. . . . The Legion hearts gang misses Gerry Demko, who has been hospitalized lately. I hope he’s doing better. . . .Just like Elmira, the Lions usually are in a hurry to un-decorate the Christmas tree after the
big day is past, but I hope they let the lights on until the Russian Christmas. It looked pretty good up at town hall this year. . . . Hats off to the Bath Fire Co. social hall for taking the lead and collecting money to help the family who lost their mobile home down at Greenbriar Village a couple weeks ago, and the mother who was burned so much. It’s wonderful when people show their compassion and want to help people who are in distress. That’s a big part of what Christmas is all about. . . Well, we’re down to the wire now. The year is almost over. People will be partying on Saturday night, New Year’s Eve. Elmira and Pete will just be cozying up in front of the fireplace, and watch TV to see all the celebrations around the world. There’s gonna be a lot of drinking, so if you’re a driver, don’t be one of them. Happy New Year, everybody!!! And let’s hope it’s a healthy and prosperous one, too. We need it. See ya! You can’t build a reputation on what you intended to do.

A Healthy, Happy 2012!
By James N. Martin, Jr, MD President, The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
The beginning of a new year is a great time to get your priorities in order and to set goals for the next 365 days. ACOG urges women to put health at the top of their 2010 to-do lists. Remember these healthy living tips: Eat Healthier. Aim to eat a balanced diet rich in a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lowfat dairy, and lean protein. According to the US Department of Agriculture, a 35-year-old woman who gets 30–60 minutes of exercise per day should eat a 2,000 calorie daily diet consisting of 6 ounces of grains (at least half from whole grains), 2 ½ cups of vegetables, 2 cups of fruit, 3 cups of low/nonfat milk or milk products, and 5 ½ ounces of lean meat, fish, and beans. Additionally, cut back on sodium, fats, processed sugar, and refined grains. Get Active. Regular physical activity helps increase overall well-being while lowering the risk of diabetes, osteoporosis, some cancers, and other illnesses caused by inactivity. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week to lower the risk of chronic disease; 60 minutes on most days to maintain weight; and at least 60 to 90 minutes on most days to lose weight. A well-rounded exer-
cise regimen should be fun, sustainable, and include cardiovascular, strength training, and flexibility components. Quit Smoking. Despite the numerous dangers of smoking—increased risk of heart disease, infertility, early menopause, and more than 10 different cancers, to name a few—one in five American women still smoke. Quitters gain an improved sense of taste and smell, better circulation, easier breathing, and less hoarseness. They also reduce their risk of heart attack by 50% within a year of quitting. Drink in Moderation. Alcohol has been linked to both positive effects such as improvements in heart health and bone density, and negative ones including an increased risk of breast and other cancers. If you drink, try to keep it to less than one alcoholic beverage a day. Get Some Rest. Your body repairs and regenerates tissue, builds bone and muscle, and strengthens its immunity while you sleep. Not getting enough sleep may cause short-term problems such as irritability and memory loss and long-term conditions including diabetes and heart disease. The average adult should aim to get seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Visit Your Ob-Gyn. Women should see their doctor

regularly for preventive care. Routine visits to the ob-gyn help ensure women receive age appropriate screenings, exams, and immunizations, and they allow physicians to identify and treat common problems before serious health risks develop.

Police Blotter Colonial Regional Man Steals Sneakers, Then Hits Security Officer
Colonial Regional Police have charged a Kunkletown man with robbery, receiving stolen property, and retail theft after he allegedly stole a pair of sneakers at Kohl’s in Lower Nazareth Township on Tuesday, Dec. 20, then hit one of the store’s security personnel as he fled from the store after he was discovered. Robert J. Reed, 26, is in Northampton County Prison under $10,000 bail as a result of the incident. Police said he went into the store along the Easton-Nazareth Highway at 1:30 p.m., went to the shoe department where Kohl’s employees saw him remove the sneakers he was wearing and replace them with a new pair. He put the old sneakers in the box and went past the cashier wearing the new sneakers. But when security tried to stop him, Reed hit the officer and went out into the parking lot. Police caught him shortly thereafter.
Two Men in Prison After Assault of Women
Colonial Regional Police arrested two men on charges of assault of two Bath area women recently. Shawn Heckman of the 100 block of E. Northampton St., Bath, reportedly assaulted his wife on Dec. 10 at their home after they got into an argument. But while in police custody, Heckman said he was having chest pains and was admitted overnight at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg,
Bethlehem. Released the next day, he was charged with simple assault and harassment, and committed to Northampton County Prison on $20,000 bail. In another incident, Tracy L. Green, 45, no known address, assaulted a female friend in Chapman Borough following an argument. She was taken to LV Hospital-Muhlenberg
LATTE M
for treatment of a broken arm, bruised ribs and several facial lacerations. CRPD issued a warrant for Green and served it on him at an establishment in Bath. He was taken into custody by police without incident. Green was charged with assault and arraigned by District Judge Joseph Barner. He was committed to prison on $75,000 bail.
Fight/Disorderly Conduct for Two
Colonial Regional Police were called on Dec. 20 to the Wawa store on Rt. 248 for a fight in progress between John Dilli, Jr., 34, of Briarwood Lane, Nazareth, and Andrew Smith, 25, of S. Fairview St., Nazareth. Both men fled the scene before police arrived, but Dilli was stopped a short time later after police located him in a vehicle matching the description of one involved in the fight. Smith was identified by a friend who he left at Wawa after the fight and fleeing from the scene. Both men were seen on video surveillance exchanging words inside the store, but then walked out and mutual-
ly began fighting in the parking lot. The fight was broken up by female friends of both in the fight. Dilli and Smith will be cited for disorderly conduct for fighting. Citations filed through DJ Joseph Barner’s office.
Two-Vehicle Accident
A vehicle rear-ended another on Schoenersville Rd. at 2:36 p.m. Dec. 26. CRPD said Beth L. Gerstenberg, 55, of 1818 Laubach Ave., Northampton, was driving north on Schoenersville Rd. and stopped for traffic in the left lane of travel. Irene Sheiner, 86, of 304 Coplay Lane, Whitehall, failed to see the traffic stopped and impacted the rear of Gerstenberg’s car. Ms. Sheiner’s car was removed from the scene, but Ms. Gerstenberg was able to drive hers away.

THE HOME NEWS Dec. 29-Jan. 4, 2012 20 in a crash along Rt. 145 just north of Walnutport. Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek identified the victims as Frank Pfeiffer, 89, and his wife, Geraldine, 86. He ruled their deaths accidental due to blunt force trauma. (Their obituaries on page 12.) Mr. Pfeiffer was driving their car in the rain when the vehicle went into a wall at the front of the home of Charlene Walper at 1223 Riverview Drive at 5:45 p.m. Darkness and the rain may have contributed to the accident. A nurse and two off-duty paramedics stopped at the accident scene to administered CPR, and a crew from the Northampton Emergency Squad also tried, but they were unsuccessful in their efforts to revive the couple. It was the second fatal accident along Rt. 145 in a week. James Shiner of Lehigh Township was killed on Dec. 12 along the highway The sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work.

Simple Tips for Getting Fit In the New Year
by Laura Garrett, RD (NAPS)—For many, controlling their weight starts with getting control of impulse eating. Often, in order to change behaviors, people must first acknowledge the patterns of behavior that lead them to eat impulsively. It Starts With a List One of the biggest culprits is going to the grocery store without a list. Supermarkets set up their aisles for impulse buying and quick hunger fixes. Breaking the behavior chain that leads to bad decisions often starts with changing routines. For example: • Eat a piece of fruit before shopping. • Create a shopping list template—keep copies in the car and add additional items as needed. • Stick to the shopping list. • Use coupons only for items on the list. Learn How to Lunch
Workday lunches can be another opportunity for impulse eating to take hold. If you’re one of those workers who waits until 11:30 (after hunger has already set in) to decide where to go out for lunch or what to order in, you may find yourself often resorting to high-fat, high-calorie options like fast food. Here are some suggestions to make better choices: • Have fruit at 10 a.m. • Pack a brown-bag lunch the night before. This will also save money. • Pack or purchase lunches on sliced bread. Rolls can have twice the calories of sliced bread. • Salads are great, but measure the salad dressing or use vinegar. Make Mealtime Meaningful Sometimes, simple things can make a difference at mealtime. For instance:
World Hypnotism Day on Jan. 4 was created to remove the myths and misconceptions while promoting the benefits and truth of hypnosis to the people of the world. Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnosis What is Hypnosis? According to the American • Choose carbohydrates that are low on the glycemic scale, such as fruits, veggies and whole grains. • Take a supplement containing a white bean extract, Phase 2 Carb Controller, found in Natrol’s Carb Intercept, before eating a carb-rich meal. • Count to 10 before grabbing something to eat. • Make the slogan “The kitchen closes at 9 p.m.” a mind-set. Today Is a Good Day to Begin Making positive behavior changes to avoid impulse eating is an essential factor in health and weight manage-
ment. Start today by becoming aware of those behaviors that lead you astray from your weight management goals. For more information about health and wellness, visit www.livesowell.com. Ms. Garrett is an RD and a certified diabetes educator.

Society of Clinical Hypnosis, hypnosis “is a state of inner absorption, concentration and focused attention.” It is different from sleep, although people who are hypnotized are very relaxed, usually have their eyes closed, and may appear to be asleep. What Does Hypnosis Feel Like? Most healthy people experience a "trance state" several times a day, most often when they become absorbed in a repetitive task such as driving, or when focusing on a compelling book or activity. Most people experience a very relaxed, lethargic and in a pleasant state of mind when undergoing therapeutic hypnosis. Many people are surprised by how “normal and natural” hypnosis feels. How Is Hypnosis Used In Clinical Settings? Hypnosis is commonly used in medicine, dentistry, and in psychotherapy and behavioral medicine. According to the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association, hypnosis can be used for gastrointestinal disorders like ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, and Crohn’s disease; to relieve many forms of acute and chronic pain, such as labor pains, burn pain, or pain from surgical or dental procedures; and to relieve nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and pregnancy. Hypnosis is also effective for behavioral and mood problems such as test anxiety, addiction, depression, guilt, insomnia, compulsive eating, migraines, nail biting, obsessions, organization problems, phobias, low self esteem, shyness, smoking, stress and anxiety, teeth grinding, and more. Over 3,000 clinical studies of hypnosis have proven its effectiveness and safety in medical and dental applications. Can Anyone Be Hypnotized? Virtually all healthy people can be hypnotized, although some people respond better to hypnotic suggestion than others. There is some evidence to indicate that people with higher intelligence and greater creative abilities tend to be somewhat more responsive to suggestion. Is Hypnosis Dangerous? Unlike pharmaceuticals, hypnosis is completely natural and has not been shown to cause any negative side effects. However, because the Continued on page 11

ating cement companies of Lehigh Valley have supported the museum financially this year. That is very meaningful to the Trust, as they have all suffered financially in the difficult American and world wide economies. They are to be commended for their support, which allows the museum to operate as a Free/No cost facility to everyone. The museum also participated in the Northampton Jack Frost Parade honoring the remaining cement plants and their employees. The museum staff provided information and photos of "Old" Northampton to the Wells Fargo Bank so that a beautiful mural depicting the heritage of Northampton could be erected in their Main Street Branch. It is hoped that many who have not seen it will visit the bank to see this magnificent mural. In September the museum
became the site of a visit of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO and its president, Mr. Richard Bloomingdale. Earlier in the year, they also hosted the president of Essroc Cement and two members of the board of directos of the "Ciments Francais", as well as leaders of "Italcemeti SPA." The museum continues to honor cement workers of the area and honored nine such workers in 2011. They receive a photo and biography that appear in the Home News, the Northampton Press, The Whitehall Press and the Catasauqua Press. In additioan, each worker selected received a framed copy of the article and a plaque. 2011 honorees were: Lloyd Lutz Lehigh Heidelberg; Vincent Pondal IV - Lafarge; Anna Marie Jonas - Essroc; Betty Kichline - Keystone; Richard George - Lehigh Heidelberg; Lukas Schoeneberger - Buzzi Unicem, Jack Heffelfinger Lafarge; Tony Puglia - Essroc, and Tim Stoudt - Keystone. The museum has hosted visitors from four European countries: England, France, Italy and Hungary. The visitors book shows visits from people residing in 11 states: Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, Georgia, Oregon, Montana, New Hampshire, Virginia, Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The Trust would like to thank Northampton Borough Council, Borough Manager

A New Year of Hope As we pause on the cusp of a new calendar year, these words from the Book of Ecclesiastes come to mind…. For everything there is a season….. a time for every purpose under heaven… The wisdom writer of the Book of Ecclesiastes is being a realist about time, about the seasons of life. Though not the creator of time, the writer did not want anyone to journey through the seasons with rose-colored glasses. He wanted to be honest we knew there would be both challenges and joys in our lives. The writer wraps each of these verses in an indisputable framework of human existence – a time to cry, a time to laugh, a time to grieve, a time to dance…. Reminding us that God is the creator of time; it is God who establishes the rhythm of the seasons. Always, as calendar pages turn, we stand before God filled with hope, from whose almighty works, nothing can be added or taken away. We pause on the edge of the old and the new; the edge of today and tomorrow. We have journeyed through the Advent waiting to the Christmas joy and now on to a new year. As we consider the words of Ecclesiastes, let’s consider some words of an old Sanskrit poem: “Yesterday is but a memory, and tomorrow a vision. But today, well-lived, makes every yesterday a memory of happiness, and every tomorrow, a vision of hope." phobias, pain reduction, grief release, fertility and childbirth, sleep issues, weight loss, and more at Insights Hypnosis and Reiki.

The first-footer and the things he or she brings will tell what kind of luck the family will have in the new year.

The Scottish word for lake is "loch." Scotland has many lochs that are known around the world. Loch Lomand is known for its beauty and 24-mile length. Romantic songs have been written about it. Loch Ness is a bit more mysterious. It is known for the stories about a creature beneath its surface. No one knows for sure if there is a "monster" living in the water there or not. People have written stories about it and have tried to photograph it. If a creature is ever found in the lake do you think it will look like this?
