More revenue came into Bath’s coffers in 2012 than in 2011, it was reported at Borough Council meeting on Monday. And to achieve this surplus, the amount of which was not disclosed at the meeting, Council attributed this to better management of the budget.

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

Enough funds are already available so the bills can be paid on time.

A small tax increase was imposed for 2013, but this is intended to repair some of the borough’s streets, which are in a sad state of disrepair, Fields said last month. There is $53,000 in the budget for roadwork, which could include micro-surfacing, crack sealing, and other work to make the streets in better condition. Borough Manager Tom Petrucci said it might not cost as much as budgeted, so that money could be put toward equipment. At any rate, Fields said, “These repairs will prevent further deterioration of our streets.”

OpinionHH Frack Wastewater a Threat to Northeast

By Erica Gies Pennsylvania rivers that supply drinking water continued to show high levels of the salt bromide earlier this year, a telltale sign that they were still receiving inadequately treated wastewater from natural gas hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, operations. The levels surprised officials, who thought they’d solved the pollution problem by requesting that drilling companies stop using municipal treatment plants for disposal.

Since then, bromide levels have decreased, but industry

sources say the practice of treatment plant disposal in Northeastern states continues.

While activists and scientific studies have focused heavily on potential groundwater contamination caused by fracked wells, the disposal of fracking wastewater may be a greater pollution threat.

Gas companies use an average of 5 million gallons of water per “frack” to crack apart underground bedrock and release natural gas. Into that water they mix chemicals – biocides to kill bacteria, scale inhibitors to keep pipes clear, and lubricants to ensure smooth machinery operation. They also add proppants – tiny particles of sand, quartz or ceramics to hold underground fractures open, allowing gas to flow up to the surface.

The problem is that some of these contaminated fluids

flow back to the surface too, along with added contaminants picked up deep underground, such as naturally occurring salts and radioactive elements.

Companies dispose of this frack wastewater differently depending on region, though each method is problematic.

In most of the country, injection wells are used to pump waste deep underground. In the Northeast, wastewater is disposed of in three ways: It is trucked to Ohio and dumped down injection wells; processed at municipal sewage treatment facilities and then piped into local rivers; or treated onsite and reused in fracking.

At first blush, treating frack water at municipal treatment plants may seem like a good solution. However, these plants were designed to treat sewage, not the radioactive compounds in frack

water, which can pass straight through into local waters.

Another problem: when the salt in frack water is combined with the chlorine used at some water treatment plants, it forms chemicals called trihalomethanes that increase the risk of bladder and other cancers with longterm exposure. Not only that, the chemicals in frack water can kill the beneficial bacteria used in sewage treatment plants, making the treatment process less effective.

Worse still, many Northeast municipal sewage systems also process storm water. So every time there is a hard rain, large volumes of runoff force the shutdown of sewage treatment plants, allowing high volumes of untreated raw sewage, and possibly frack wastewater, to gush into waterways.

Another disposal approach is for gas companies to treat wastewater onsite and reuse the water in future fracks.

However, this can be energy intensive and costly. Gas companies also sometimes sell the byproduct – a super salty waste called brine that contains heavy metals and other pollutants – to state transportation departments like those in Pennsylvania and West Virginia to melt highway snow in winter and suppress dust in summer. This use conveys salts and chemicals to waterways, and should be discontinued.

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip The snows we got for Christmas have hung around for a long time, but it warmed up quite a bit this week and now they’re melting. Boy, seven or more days of sunshine! Can you believe it? Maybe we’ll get an early spring, or warmer weather like we had last winter. . . . With the weather so nice, it was great for folks who traveled out to Harrisburg for the Pennsylvania Farm Show this week. Congrats to all the local winners, and I hear there were quite a few. It takes a lotta work to care for the animals that they show, and they deserve getting prizes for it.

Elmira and I didn’t make it out there this year, since our legs can’t take all that walking. So for those who did, I hope you all had a great time. There’s so much to see with the livestock, the gardening and vegetable products, dairy, flowers, 4-Hers handiwork, even Christmas trees. Actually, if you wanta see everything, it takes a couple days. . . . After the farm show there will be the sports and recreation show at the same location in Harrisburg.

Plenty to see there, too. Elmira always wants me to stop and take a look at the fancy mobile homes, and even the log cabin they have. . . . Being it’s so warm, now’s a great time to take down all those Christmas lights on your homes. Never gonna get any better. . . .That was a terrible crash down near

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com

Time to Cleanse

The holidays are behind us yet the partaking of a bit too much are sticking with us…. literally. Before you go out and commit to an expensive year-long health and fitness membership consider to start with the basics. For this discussion, one of the basics is cleanse and purification of our bodily systems.

For all my patients I recommend a body cleanse at a minimum of twice per year.

The cleanse programs you consider must be appropriate for your present health status. I would not recommend a thirty-day cabbage soup fast for anyone, much less an individual with sugar handling problems. In fact, I don’t recommend a cabbage soup diet at all…..

The cleanse and purification programs our clinic administers will of course, lean out your body quite rapidly.

Our twenty day group cleanse we performed in October had 24 participants with over 170 pounds lost. That’s incredible wouldn’t you say? Our biggest loser lost a whopping 18.8 pounds. He was extremely happy as you could imagine. Our biggest female

loser lost 14.2 pounds. She is happy too!

Please understand however, that losing weight is just the tip of the iceberg. The well rounded cleanse has its main goal of detoxification of the internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, gallbladder and gastrointestinal system.

Without an intentional focus on cleaning the inside, you’re just becoming a skinny sick person.

The essentials of the cleanse should be two fold. The first being avoidance and the other being inclusion. Avoidance includes caffeine, sugar, grains, alcohol, chemicals, solvents, toxins, processed food, manufactured beverages, and anything synthetic in nature. Inclusion is equally important and it involves eating whole unadulterated foods such as cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, lots of salad greens, fresh water and teas, and whole food concentrate supplements.

While each cleanse program may differ a bit it is important to know that simple is much better than complicated. No reason to starve your-

self. No need to obsess over doing without. Many times we make the cleanse much harder than it has to be.

Surprisingly to most is the rapid improvement in ones clarity of thinking and energy you get from a cleanse. Usually after the third or fourth day patients are suddenly laughing and smiling more.

I know because I see it and their spouses also tell me. I have noticed this first hand as well.

Many often find they sleep so much better, rested, and have less aches and pains.

Stiffness reduces, blood pressures drop, sugar problems resolve, and the list goes on and on. Truth is the cleanse is wonderful and for many they realize that dietary changes they thought were only going to be temporary become permanent and they are much better for it.

So yes, do a cleanse. We are having our next group cleanse in a few weeks and of course you are invited. Every time we have a cleanse a few people who do it with us are not active patients. That’s great!! The cleanse is always open to everyone. The real issue isn’t whether you join our group, the real issue is are you going to keep doing the same things over and over and still be stuck with the same poor results and discouragement?

The twenty-one day cleanse and purification is a huge step that once taken teaches you much about the right path to take to better health. Happy New Year!!!!

Growing Your Business in 2013Emeril’s Trinity

By CAROL RITTER

Do any of you remember the old Emeril Lagasse cooking shows? If not, you might know that his brand just naturally came out of his vibrant personality. ‘BAM!’ Like many other famous chef’s Rachel Ray coined the phrase, ‘EVOO,’ and Cat Cora, the famous Iron Chef, drinks a shot of vodka with her team after every competition. They all have one thing in common, their ‘shtick’. They have something that launches them way above their competitors... their ‘‘shtick” married with charisma.

I remember when Emeril would start to cook, he coined onions, peppers, and celery the Trinity. Just like Emerial starting all his recipes with the trinity all three are a necessary piece of being a successful business. The Trininty for success is; 1. Onion - or Outstanding Customer Service!

2. Peppers- or Over the Top Product! or Service 3. Celery - (the sometimes missing link) Charisma!

How do you make sure you have all three of these necessary pieces? It all begins with who you hire and how you train them. My guess is you began with an idea which grew into a product or service. I’m going to assume you provide outstanding customer service (modeling this for your staff) but then there is the celery (CHARISMA). You can’t buy it, you can’t invent it and you can’t even train it. It’s either there or not in someone’s personality. Webster describes CHARISMA as someone born with the ability to have influence over large groups of people. The best, most appealing product or service in the world some-

times won’t sell because the Trinity is not in effect.

Here’s what we know...the customer of the future has more access to information than ever before, they come to you well educated and many times ready and willing to go somewhere else where the customer service is amazing.

To stay ahead of the game, when hiring look for people who are trainable or coachable if they don’t have the “magic charisma’.

WHAT’S COOKIN IN YOUR BUSINESS? Make sure the onions, the peppers and celery are all in place for 2013!

Comment On Sports

By Pete Fritchie

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷

ne of the suggestions O concerning football seasons which deserves

consideration is to spread out the time for the bowl games, so that beginning in late December, football fans are not being offered several bowl contests on the same day.

In the recent bowl season fans were sometimes faced with a choice of three or four bowl games a day. What could be done about this?

The only possible solution might be to begin the football bowl games early in December. That would be possible for many bowls, since the college foot ball season is over by the first of December for most teams.

If bowl games began the first week in December it would be possible to limit the number of games a day throughout the bowl season. When there are four or five bowl games on the same day, fans miss seeing some games they would enjoy seeing. New Year’s Day has long been multi-bowl day and may remain so. But having many bowl games on other days is a custom which could be improved for avid football fans, few of whom can see more than a game or two a day.

Most Suburban dart teams Back in action after holiday

Following the holiday recess, almost all the teams in the Suburban Inter-Church Dart Baseball League resumed play on Monday night. Only St. Stephen’s Lutheran at St. Paul’s UCC of Northampton was postponed when St. Stephen’s was short on players.

Bath’s two teams had a good return, both winning a pair of games.

Christ UCC of Bath lost 3-1 at Dryland-Trinity, Hecktown, then won 13-2 and 7-1 with Dan DalCin hitting 7 for 14; Ron Wagner, 13; Sue Gasper, 5 for 12 with a homer; Joe Hun-

Nazareth Sports

By Andy Weaver As we start a new year, I’d like to update you on how our winter sports teams at Nazareth are doing. Starting this week I will have a recap in each issue, each week!

As we enter the 1st full week of 2013 things heat up in Nazareth sports in a big way, Nazareth boys basketball is 5-4 and the girls basketball team has a impressive record at 8-1 and the wrestling team will enter this week 8-0. This past Friday the boys basketball team traveled to Dieruff where they lost 38-34. The girls basketball team hosted Dieruff and won 56-27. The wrestling team was in the Easton Invitional at Easton and Friday night they beat Warren Hills, New Jersey 41-24. Saturday they beat Caesar Rodney, Delaware 55-18. A few hours later they beat Wilson West Lawn 4026. Also on Saturday the girls basketball team beat Pocono Mountain East 49-23.

Friday night the boys basketball team will travel to Freedom for a 7p.m. game and the girls basketball team will host Freedom Friday at 7p.m.

nicipalities, Petrucci recommended that the pay go as high as $4,000. Council went along with a 2.5% increase, which will be advertised next week to make it effective.

Other Matters • Phillip J. Shunk, Sr. was appointed to the Bath Borough Authority board of directors, whose chairman, George Gasper, recommended, saying that Shunk would be able to vote on all matters except finances. He has served on the authority for 28 years.

• Council approved an ordinance amending the Borough Code with regard to regulations for parking lots, as advertised.

• Although recommended by the Bath Business & Community Partnership to move a swing set away from the Keystone Park gazebo that was constructed last year, Council offered other opinions and the matter was tabled.

Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman said to let it stay for another year; others said the old swings could either be repaired, or a new set purchased to put at another location, and there is high foot traffic at the gazebo. Petrucci will get prices on repair/replacement, the latter of which he estimated to cost $4,500.

Catherine Zakos asked if the park pavilion will be finished in time for a small class reunion. Petrucci said that it will be done by early summer. The storm-damaged pavilion will be torn down, and a pre-fab structure built, using funds allocated by the Federal Emergency Manage-

ABC-TV Blamed for Axing WNEP-16 from Cable Channels

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Northampton Borough Council on Thursday by resolution okayed a 10-year extension of its cable franchise agreement with Service Electric cable television. As such, the borough receives a 5% franchise fee from the station.

Richard Ackerman questioned Timothy Himmelwright of Service Electric why they have dropped Wilkes-Barre’s WNEP TV-16 from their telecasts.

Himmelwright explained that it was a decision of ABCTV to drop the channel from carrying their programs. The same situation exists with

RCN cable TV. They, too, no longer have WNEP on their station’s listings.

People in this area have voiced anger that the cable stations dropped Channel 16, but it was a decision of the national television network.

On a personal note, WNEP TV-16 covered the accident scene in which this reporter’s nephew, Scott Halbfoerster, was killed in a two-vehicle head-on crash on a Rt. 220 bridge in northeast Pennsylvania on November 20. It was seen locally.

Another resolution set the fees for permits and licenses that are issued by the borough. They have been increased slightly from 2012.

Appointments Three persons were re-appointed to positions they have held in the borough. Jerome Kroboth was retained, with his term lasting to Dec. 31 on the Zoning Hearing Board; Donna Zangari will again serve a five-year term on the Board of Health, until Dec. 31, 2017; and Charles Bodnar will serve a five-year term on the Northampton Borough Municipal Authority board until Dec. 31, 2107.

Committee Reports Under administration and finance, it was reported that Al France of France, Anderson & Basile has begun the audit of the borough’s books.

The building, land and recreation chairman reported that the New Year’s Eve gala at the community center was very successful, with half of the profit donated to the recreation center. . . .A dance from 4th, 5th and 6th grade boys and girls was held this past Saturday, the only one this month. . . .Public works will begin remodeling the ladies’ rest room and changing area at the municipal swimming pool as time permits.

Mayor and Council Honor Two for Service to Borough

By ALICE WANAMAKER And BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

In a heartfelt dedication, Nazareth Mayor Fred Daugherty honored longtime Nazareth resident Harry G. Adams for his dedication to the community and his commitment to the borough. Council President Dan Chiavaroli later honored Rev. William Matz, former councilman, for his service on Council and to the community at the first regular council meeting of the new year held Monday night.

Harry G. Adams was honored with a plaque and citation by Mayor Daugherty receiving the “2012 Mayor’s Award for Citizens in Service to the Borough”. The award, which was instituted

by Daugherty in 2011, is designed to recognize the hard work and dedication of those who volunteer their time and services for the borough.

Adams, a decorated WWII Veteran was recognized by Daugherty for his championship of the U.S. Flag and Patriotism as well as his service

to the borough. “Nazareth is proud to call him one of our own” a choked up Daugherty said. Adams was noted as being a father, veteran, patriot and a gentle voice that helped guide council in making decisions that would better the community. Harry Adams has cared for the Veteran’s Memorial Garden at the Shafer School for over fifteen years as a volunteer.

Reverend William Matz was also honored Monday night by Council President Dan Chiavaroli for his dedication to the borough. Matz served as councilman for the first ward for 10 years before retiring in November to care for his wife. He served on the Nazareth Ambulance Board, Nazareth Police Pension Board, as Chairman of the Finance Committee and Chairman of the Law Committee during his time on Council.

Chiavaroli noted that Matz was the driving force behind the Nazareth Five Year Plan that will be completed this spring when a new filtration system is installed at the pool.

In addition, the five-year plan

included updating the borough streets, police and highway vehicles, the addition of new walkways and lights at the circle as well as the new municipal building.

Matz was noted as being a quiet man who made his biggest impact just by looking at you.

Business Matters: Mayor Daugherty administered the Oath of Office to Fire Chief Danny Keenhold, 1st Assistant Fire Chief John Deutsch and 2nd Assistant Fire Chief Chris Keenhold.

• The Oath of Office was also administered to Special Fire Police Captain John Gostony, 1st Lieutenant Ray Foel, 2nd Lieutenant David Powell Sr., Larry Stoudt, Troy Keenhold, Scott Fogel, Lyle Myers, John Asworth and Cliff Hess.

• Council voted to approve Ordinance #784, prohibiting parking on both sides of South Green Street, from Easton Road to West Prospect Street.

• Police report included 14 crimes reported, 2 criminal arrests, 21 traffic violations, 5 reportable traffic accidents

• Council reminded residents that there is an ordinance in place to ensure that sidewalks are cleared of snow within 24 hours of a snowfall.

Chiavaroli noted that neighbors should inform new residents of the ordinance as well as noting snow emergency and road clearing routes.

• Chiavaroli introduced a motion that was unanimously passed to rename the Highway Committee as the Public Works Department as the duties performed by the committee cover much more than highway maintenance in the borough.

At Thursday’s workshop meeting of Council, several residents had remarks.

One commented that there should be no merger of police departments, citing the high cost that would result.

Another asked Council if they could work toward eliminating truck traffic on S. Broad St., or have a turning lane. He was told it is a state road. Vice chairman Larry Stoudt said maybe PennDOT could designate truck routes and have on/off ramps off Rt. 33. Another person observed that trucking companies take the shortest routes because of cost.

News Sermonette Larry E. Pickar, Sr.

Pastor, Egypt Community Church, Whitehall

A New Year’s Resolution Ephesians 5:1-20 People often make New Year Resolutions every year.

Here’s what one guy wrote about a resolution he made.

In 1999-get my weight down below 180. 1999: I will get my weight down below 180. 2000: I will watch my calories until I get below 190. 2001: I will follow my new diet religiously until I get below 200. 2002: I will try to develop a realistic attitude about my weight. 2003: I will work out 5 days a week. 2004: I will work out 3 days a week. 2005: I will try to drive past a gym at least once a week.

Every year people resolve to do this or that. To stop eating so much food. To exercise more. To enjoy life more.

But what about our relationship to God? Shouldn’t we also be thinking about some resolutions in regard to God in order to grow in faith? II Peter 3:18 says, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”

Are you growing in His grace and knowledge of Him? If not, why not? And have you made any plans to grow?

Someone said, “The plan will work if we work the plan.”

But what if you have no plan? No planning equals no growth in Christ. What are you going to do to grow in His grace?

Paul’s writing to the Ephesians gives us some sound spiritual resolves for 2013. First, it tells us that we are to be more God-like. We are to be imitators of God and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. That means we are to be different and better people than most.

Not always because it depends on how much we surrender to God’s will. Do you remind people of Jesus? Is the love of God evident in your life? Does His love pour forth from your life to others in various ways? If so, people will see Jesus in you.

Second, we must shun the evil of this world. Ephesians 5 goes on to tell us in Vs. 3-13 how we are to accomplish this. Some mentioned are: sexual immorality, all kinds of impurity, greed, obscenity, etc. You name it and people do it. Always has been and always will be.

Case in point was the shooting of all those children and adults in Connecticut just about a month ago. We must do everything that we can to decide to shun evil and not participate in it. We do this by living as children of light and by letting our light of Christ shine to others. By doing these things we will be able to shun evil in this world.

Third, we must use our time wisely. It tells us in the last verses that we are to be very careful how we live, by making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. That we are to not be foolish by getting drunk on wine which leads to debauchery. Instead, we are to be filled with the Spirit. None of us knows how long we have on this earth. So, it’s important for you to use your time wisely each day because you might not be here tomorrow. Someone once said this: “What happened to time?

When as a child I laughed and wept, time crept. When I was a youth I dreamed and talked, time walked. When I became a full grown man, time ran. And later as I grew older, time flew. Soon I shall find while traveling on, time gone.”

Let us all in 2013 make the most of every opportunity and do good and serve the Lord. Make that commitment to God and to Christ to do better, to do more. Have a great Happy New Year!

OpinionHH Continued from page 2

the waste into injection wells deep underground may not be the answer either. More than 150,000 active injection wells underlying 32 states now absorb 2 billion gallons of waste fluid daily, a process that the EPA supports for the disposal of polluted water from the oil and gas, chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries as a strategy to protect soils and surface water from contamination.

But these injection wells, mostly old oil and gas drill holes, have no container at the bottom to trap waste. An investigative report by ProPublica found that thousands of them are leaking, bringing chemicals and waste to the surface or into shallow aquifers.

Costs to clean water tainted by fracking – whether injected underground, treated and dumped or reused – are currently being externalized by oil and gas companies, with cities and states, and ultimately us – the taxpayers – picking up the tab. Toothless federal and state laws and industry exemptions to environmental laws, have so far failed to address the problem.

People tout natural gas as a cheap fuel, but that is faulty logic that fails to add in water cleanup costs. When proper accounting is done, we may discover that natural gas is simply not cost-effective – or environmentally friendly – and that it is time for the U.S. to pursue other energy options.
