homenewspa.com Earth Day Clean-up in Bath on Sat., April 20

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The fourth annual Earth Day Clean-up is scheduled for Saturday, April 20 in Bath, Councilwoman Jennifer George announced on Monday at Borough Council meeting.

Volunteers will meet at the Keystone Park gazebo, Race & Green Sts., with the cleanup lasting from 9 to 11 a.m.

Volunteers are asked to bring rakes and shovels or whatever is useful in a clean-up project at the parks and other places in the borough.

After the work is done, there will be free hot dogs and soda for the volunteers.

If there is inclement weather, the rain date will be the following Saturday, April 27 at the same time.

Other Matters • In a weather -related issue, Fire Chief Ed Demchak on Monday asked that resi-

dents clear areas in front of fire hydrants should there be any significant snowfall in the remaining days of winter.

This would be very helpful to Bath Firefighters if there is any type of fire emergency.

• Borough Manager Tom Petrucci earlier received a check for $2,000 from the Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce Foundation, which is going toward the purchase of new playground equipment.

• Council okayed a resolution authorizing Petrucci to submit a grant application for the Northampton County Park Acquisition & Development Program. The grant would be of $2,600, with the NEW STORAGE TANK on Holiday Hill in Bath has a capacity of 547,000 gallons of water to serve – Home News photo borough contributing $1,300.

The recreation committee will discuss what parks need to be upgraded, and first in their minds on Monday was Carl Rehrig Park at the top of HoliContinued on page 7

Australian author to visit Bath Lions Cheer Team

The popular Australian children's book author, Leanne Shea Langdown, will return to Northampton and Bath, Pennsylvania to visit with schools and cheer teams regarding her latest book series, "Cheer Chick Charlie."

Leanne visited the Bath Lions cheerleading squad in

2007, and was touched by the team's kind and welcoming spirit. This inspired her to bring cheerleading back to her hometown in Canberra, Australia where she started that state's first school based cheer team and later created Continued on page 5

No Rate Increase in Bath Authority’s 2013 Budget; Water Capacity Near Double sory for those Holiday Hill customers. It was the first such advisory ever issued by the Authority since its inception in 1953.

Agreement Signed Gasper also announced that the Bath Borough Authority and East Allen Township have signed an agreement whereby East Allen sewerage customers along the Route 512 corridor (Chrisphalt Drive, Greenbriar Village, and Arcadia Industrial Park) and the village of Jacksonville will be direct customers of the Bath Borough Authority.

With that agreement in place, the Authority will be responsible for maintaining the sewerage pump stations and sewerage lines, billing customers directly, and treating the sewage at the plant in Bath. The Authority has been providing sewage treatment

services to these customers.

In other developments, the Bath Borough Authority is negotiating with the City of Bethlehem to continue providing water service to the customers that are sewerage customers in the Route 512 corridor. The Authority is presently providing water to those customers.

In addition, the Authority is continuing to develop plans, including the pursuit of financing options, to construct a new sewage treatment plant.

At their December meeting, the Bath Borough Authority adopted its 2013 budget without a rate increase. Chairman George Gasper said one of the biggest accomplishments in 2012 was the replacement of an existing steel storage tank on Holiday Hill, east of Christmas Ave. While the original water tank had a capacity of 300,000 gallons, the new glass-lined, bolted steel tank has a capacity of 547,000 gallons.

During construction of the new tank, a private excavating company doing work in Upper Nazareth Township broke the main water line that feeds customers on Holiday Hill. The company was not performing work for the Authority, Gasper said. The water line breakage required the Authority to issue a DEPmandated “boil water” advi-

Ask Bill Origin of Name Franks’ Corner I’ve lived in and around Bath all my life. I’m 74

years old and have always known the intersection of airport road and 329 as Frank’s corner. What is the origin or who was it named after. –Marty Matula, Bath

The late Fred Franks, owner of the former Horlacher Brewery in Allentown, lived in the house on the corner of the BathNorthampton Highway (Rt. 329) and Airport Road.

He was a wealthy man, and well known in the time back in the 1930’s and 1940’s. We believe it became known as Franks’ Corner, just because of the prestige of the man who occupied that residence.

Privatization of Liquor, School Safety Don’t Mix

State Rep. Kevin Haggerty D-Lackawanna

I want to acknowledge Gov. Tom Corbett’s recent school safety initiative by recognizing its importance and by putting a figure of up to $1 billion on the protection of our children in schools. This increase in funding from the previous line item of $500,000 is one of the most proactive decisions of any Pennsylvania governor.

His recognition that school safety cannot simply receive lip service should tell Pennsylvanians how serious he is about

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip It was cloudy on Saturday all day, and going along with that old wive’s tale, the groundhog’s prediction was that spring will be here in less than six weeks. But I know those Grundsow folks always have a good time eating dinner up Germansville way and it doesn’t bother them in the least what the groundhog predicts. Telling all those stories in the Pennsylvania dialect has ’em laughing and that’s all that matters. Anyhow, I’ll take what the groundhog says and look for an early spring.

We did have another inch or two of snow on Saturday, but the sun came out nice and bright on Sunday and the rest of this week. We might not be having the deep snows yet, and cross your fingers that we don’t, but the bitter cold and wind of winter sure get to you at times. And there were some icy spots on local roads, too, before the snow showers. It got so bad that up along 512 the Klecknersville Rangers had to close the road to traffic last Thursday night. . . .

OpinionHH Continued from page 2 away from the working class, as his latest privatization effort would do to the tune of 5,000 PLCB employees, hurts the same families who Corbett seemingly wants to protect.

If Corbett is searching for funding sources to protect the safety of our children, I would ask him to not target the working man but instead look to Pennsylvania's legislature, which is the second largest and the most funded in the United States. Reducing the legislature by half could save the taxpayers more than $50 million a year. I can think of no better

way to protect our schools than to lead by example. As a legislator, I have already co-sponsored legislation that would begin this process. It would also make tremendous sense to create a non-elected commission whose responsibility would include redistricting as part of the overall strategy to downsize the Pennsylvania legislature. I would ask the governor to get behind this proposal. With that said, I still will not support the privatization of liquor on the backs of the working class. I will not support the privatization of liquor as an ultimatum to representatives and senators who all know too well the importance of protecting our school children.

Grow Your Small Business It takes Two Baby

By CAROL RITTER

The glass on my phone cracked this week, a good friend suggested I go to a kiosk in the mall that fixes broken phones. I needed help right away. I drove to the mall and discovered the kiosk is located right outside of a wireless company. I wondered, “How that is working, the competition is right outside their door?” As I was waiting for my phone, I asked, “How does this big company feel about you being right outside?” He happily replied, “They refer folks to me for repairs and I refer folks to them for cases.” So, you can partner with your competition. That’s not only forward thinking, it’s just plain progressive.

Partners make the world go ‘round’. Do you want your

business to be forward thinking and progressive? Or are you okay with same old, same old, same old? I liken it to being on a Merry Go Round.

You go round and round and nothing changes, you might get a little dizzy but your horse continues to pass the same old scenery. But if you are lucky you can insist on sitting on a horse that goes up and down and you might at least see things from a different perspective.

It Takes Two....

Can two restaurants partner - maybe a progressive dinner Can two hair salons partner - hair done here, nails done there Can three printers partner pick a charity and partner for a community event Can two florists partner - Invent an occasion-a Big Game Discounts Can three speakers partner

Cheer Team Continued from page 1

the "Cheer Chick Charlie" series.

Leanne is a respected author, blogger, consultant, wife and mother and is also very involved in the cheerleading community in Canberra.

"Cheer Chick Charlie" is Leanne's most notable work, a children's series about a 10-year-old aspiring cheerleader. Charlie helps to teach children the importance of hard work, dedication, spirit and sport. The "Cheer Chick Charlie" collection was released in June 2012 and includes books, toys, products, doll, and an interactive website. Leanne's work as an author is focused on helping children with confidence, resilience, health and fitness.

Leanne founded the Good Shepherd primary school

cheer team in 2008, coaching for 4 years before stepping aside and taking on the role of Principal Advisor. Additionally she authors the popular blog for middle-aged women, "Deep Fried Fruit." Leanne also founded Achieve Beyond, a consulting business through which she coaches people in career, business, sport, and life.

Leanne looks forward to returning to the United States, and particularly the team that inspired her to achieve such success in bringing cheerleading to Canberra. Of her success she says, "You never know when a seemingly insignificant gesture or experience may turn into something huge." The Good Shepherd cheer program that Leanne started in Canberra has continued to grow and achieve at the All-Star, State, and National levels. "I am looking forward to spending time with the children in U.S. and giving them a little taste of Australia, while at the same time introducing them to 'Cheer Chick Charlie'." Leanne hopes that the Bath Lions and the Good Shepherd teams can become sister squads, exchanging photos and letters throughout the year.

While in the United States, Leanne plans to launch her "Cheer Chick Charlie" boxed doll and book line at the New York Toy Fair from February 10-13 in New York City. She will introduce CCC to the United States and plans to negotiate U.S. publishing deals,

February 7-13, 2013 5

an animated series, and contracts with major U.S. retailers.

Leanne is thrilled to see the paramount success that has come from the little seed that was planted by the Bath Lions cheer team in 2007.

Outdoors L.V. Outdoor Sports Show March 2 and 3

With the Eastern Sports & Outdoors Show in Harrisburg cancelled over the assault rifle ban issue, sportsmen and women of this area can look forward to a two-day show coming up next month.

The Lehigh Valley Outdoors Show will be held the weekend of March 2 and 3 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. It will take place at the Agri-Plex Expo Center on the Allentown Fairgrounds.

The indoor show will feature demonstrations, seminars, exhibitors and guides for various hunting and fishing trips.

Admission fee is $10 for adults and older youngsters, but for children 12 and under it’s free.

Nothing said about guns, and that’s such a contentious issue these days that a popular show pulled out of RCN when the lady operating the camera complained about the host having three firearms for display purposes, contending that it was against company policy.

the Blue Mountain Rod & Gun Continued on page 15

Oldies dance by Shad group will Aid youth fishing

On Saturday, Feb. 23, the Delaware River Shad Fishermen’s Association (DRSFA) will sponsor an oldies dance at the Blue Mountain Fish & Game Association’s clubhouse near Danielsville to benefit the sixth annual Youth Fishing Education Day. Included during the evening will be a silent auction. Doors open at 6 p.m., with food available. Dancing is from 7 to 10.

Youth Fishing Education Day is available free of charge to youths ages 8 through 18.

The event will occur on Saturday, June 15 featuring 10 learning stations, some of which are casting, canoeing/ kayaking, fishing, fishing ethics, knot tying and more. It is a day-long outdoor educational experience for the students.

The dance is one of many fund-raisers needed to support this investment in youth and the outdoors.

“Support our youth by having a night of fun!” said DRSFA secretary David Bittner, a 30-year member and also coordinator of Shad in the Schools, a classroom study, raise, and release program.

The association is also helping to restore the American shad population in the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers.

For tickets and information, contact Dave Carl at 570-3254335 or e-mail him at fisherman.dcarl@yahoo.com

• As part of the Nazareth Area Council of Governments, Bath and other member municipalities are signing on to a mutual aid agreement, borrowing and lending equipment.

• Petrucci noted that specifications are nearly finished for the Keystone Park pavilion, including lighting and safety equipment. It is being designed to blend in with the gazebo’s architecture.

• Council further discussed the borough-owned property at 244 W. Main St., which is under scrutiny of a

DCNR grant. If converted to an environmental education center, it would have to be on both floors, and have an elevator. Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman said Council needs to do more homework on it. And asked what about

Fall Prevention Tips

By: Frank DeRosa Life Safety Specialist, Maintain Your Independence There are over 40 million folks that are 60+ in America and this age group is the fastest growing age group in the country. Each year over 13 million members of this age group fall and nearly 2 million of these members are treated for falls in emergency rooms each year. The question is how these falls can be prevented. There are 4 basic things that can be done to prevent falls. First individuals should start a regular exercise program. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before a program is started. Second,

a healthcare provider and/ or pharmacist should review the medicines and natural remedies taken to make sure the products or combinations thereof will not affect a person’s balance or clarity which may lead to a fall. Third have vision checks regularly. Poor vision can increase the chances of falling. Fourth, make your home safer. Half of all falls happen at home. Clean up clutter, improve lighting and make commonly used items more accessible to prevent falls.

Since we are still in the winter season there are few specific tips for winter. When going outside make sure the soles of your shoes provide plenty of

traction on slick surfaces and remember when coming indoors wet shoes can make indoor flooring slippery. Put an absorbent, non-slip floor mat in front of your doors so you can dry your shoes. Returning outdoors, do not carry large loads on ice or snow. In fact try to keep your hands free when on ice and snow as you need them to help you restore your balance.

Lastly, take your time whenever you’re walking and whenever possible use handrails, handles, etc. to help you keep your balance. Remember, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Fr. Edward McElduff Honored Rev. Edward McElduff, Pastor Emeritus of St. Nicholas Catholic Church, Berlinsville, recently received two citations from State Representative Julie Harhart.

The occasion was Fr. McElduff's 91st birthday. Julie presented both a Birthday Citation and a Military Citation, honors from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on Sunday, January 20, at St. Nicholas Church during the 9:30 am mass. Before entering the priesthood, Fr. Ed had served as a US Navy Lieuten-

ant. He saw action in both European and Pacific operations during WW II and was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries he received during the invasion of France.

Father McElduff served as the second pastor of St. Nicholas for 20 years before retiring in 2002. In spite of the pain he still endures from those war injuries, he remains active and occasionally returns to St. Nicholas to assist Msgr. Thomas Durzak, Pastor, with the parish mass schedule.

Residents press councilman On police coverage in town

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Nazareth Borough Council police committee chairman Jack Herbst was pressured to answer questions about police coverage during Council’s workshop meeting on Thursday night.

Korine Behler of Walnut Street and Terry Fehr of North Street posed a number of questions regarding full or part-time police, what it would cost if the borough’s police department merged with Colonial Regional, and the purchase of a cruiser car.

Ms. Behler asked why Council hasn’t hired an additional full-time officer and part-time officer. Herbst said a Civil Service list was furnished to him shortly before the meeting and he is working on it. ‘We just can’t pick one off the street,” he said. She countered that Herbst said he would have an answer in December, but it hasn’t happened. Herbst told her that although he’s an optimist, “I expected things to move a little quicker.”

Fehr had asked, “If the borough would merge with Colo-

nial Regional, will our taxes go up?” Secretary Paul Kokolus answered, “No, based on preliminary figures given to the borough [by CRPD Chief Roy Seiple].” He based that on comparing it with the contentious issue that has been around this past year, workmen’s compensation paid to Nazareth police officers, costing some $196,000.

Ms. Behler asked about a new police car, with Council President Dan Chiavaroli answering, “It’s in the budget.

But it doesn’t mean we’re going to run out and buy one. A budget is a plan.”

She commented, “One of the main purposes of Council is safety of the citizens.

Shouldn’t that be the number one priority?”

Chiavaroli remarked that in discussing police matters with other municipalities, it takes time. “Councilman Herbst is working as fast as he can in the best interest of the community.”

Herbst and the police committee have been working on supplemental coverage with CRPD, and he expects a decision may be made in

a couple of months. The officials have also reached out to Palmer, Upper Nazareth and Bushkill townships on possible proposals, but nothing has evolved to this point.

Nazareth has three full-time officers, with Thomas Trachta the police chief.

Other Matters • Rick Smith, president of Nazareth Center for the Arts, asked Council for a partial closing of Spruce St. on May 11. He and Kelly Pettis noted that an arts and fashion gala is planned on May 11 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., along with live entertainment. They would like to put up a tent on the Belvidere St. side of the center. Profits from the gala would go toward further remodeling of the arts building.

• Vice President Larry Stoudt reported that the borough saved $11,060 in six months by switching over to First Energy for street lighting.

He noted that the present tax collector will not seek reelection. The borough pays $8,500, plus $5 for every tax bill. Office rental is $960.

The 2012 budget year end-

ed with a surplus of $170,000, but much of this money will be needed for work at the municipal swimming pool.

An allocation has been received from FEMA following damages caused by Hurricane Sandy.

Stoudt also announced that people can take discarded electronics and television sets to Waste Management in Pen Argyl free of charge Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m., to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 to 9 a.m.

The finance committee now meets on the third Tuesday of

the month and it is open to the public.

• Councilman Frank Maurek for public property reported that a woman named Diane Liverbond has volunteered to raise money to fix the fence at the dog park which was damaged by the super storm. . . .Maurek also revealed plans by the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce for a bike fest on May 18 from 1 to 7 p.m. and the closure of some streets in AuContinued on page 13

Selvaggio’s leaving building Purchased by Lower Nazareth After spending $1.3 million for the building in a sheriff’s sale in February 2012 and $169,000 in legal fees, Lower Nazareth Township has succeeded in its fight to use the former Selvaggio Enterprises building.

The building that was located on Selvaggio Drive, since re-named Municipal Drive, is 32,000 square feet and sits on 2.8 acres of land.

The township bought the land a year ago, but the Selvaggios have resisted any effort made forcing them to move out. That ended last Wednesday, when the issue was settled by an agreement

in court by Judge Craig Dally.

The Selvaggio’s, Stephen and Teresa, and other affiliated businesses with them will move out by June 1, and the township can then take possession of the entire property.

Mounting financial debt and the recession that has been plaguing this country and elsewhere led to the company being foreclosed by a bank.

Legal fees included 83 hours spent by township solicitor Gary Asteak at $175 an hour and $525 an hour by Philadelphia attorneys Fellheimer & Eichen from February to October 2012.

News Sermonette The Rev. Christina J. Keller

Covenant United Methodist Church, Moore Twp.

The Ten Commandments I. You shall have no other gods before me.

II. You shall not make for yourself an idol.

III. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God. IV. Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy.

V. Honor your father and your mother.

VI. You shall not murder.

VII. You shall not commit adultery.

VIII. You shall not steal.

IX. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

X. You shall not covet anything of your neighbor’s.

In this church season of Lent, as Christians prepare themselves for Easter, it is a good time to reflect on the foundational documents of our faith. The Ten Commandments are vital to those who profess Christ as their Savior. These commands guide us in our relationship to our God and each other. Jesus said in Matthew 22:37-40, ‘“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” In saying this he sums up the commandments as concisely as they get. If you love God you have no need for idols. You respect God and desire to please him by not lifting the name of God to swear falsely in his name. To love God you honor him by remember to take a day of rest to recuperate from your work, just as God did.

To love your neighbor means to not commit any acts that would cause another harm in any way, whether by taking their life, taking their belongings, lying about them or desiring the things they have. All the laws we have created since these ten were given to us have been explanations and commentary on the originals. How often do we need to be reminded that these ten commandments, not suggestions, but commands, can guide our lives to peaceful co-existence with those around us.
