Bath Council reorganizes; New members sworn in

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Bath Borough Council reorganized on Tuesday, January 3, as did most other municipalities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The first order of business was for Mayor Donald L. Wunderler to have the newly elected councilpersons take their oath of office. Sworn in by him for their four-year terms on Council were Robert Fields, Mark Saginario, and Jennifer George, re-elected, and Kathryn Roberts, elected in November to her first term in office.

Then came the election of the top officers, and re-elect-

ed were, Fields as president and Saginario as vice president. Councilman Michael Reph will serve as president pro-tem of Council.

Several appointments were made, including: Joseph Linsenman, Planning Commission (there is still another vacancy); Marlene Bender, Zoning Hearing Board (again with one other vacancy and one alternate); David DalCin, Bath Borough Authority; Derick Edelman and Elizabeth Fields, Property Maintenance Code of Appeals.

From a field of six architectural firms, the Northampton Area School Board settled on a possible four to choose from on Monday night. The directors had viewed the proposals earlier from those four, and on Monday their consensus of opinions were tabulated as they were rated.

Three finalists were chosen – Architectural First of Bethlehem; Breslin, of Allentown, and KCBA, of Hatfield.

All three will be interviewed publicly on Monday, Jan. 16, starting at 6 p.m. in the middle school cafeterias.

Each of the firms will be allotted 15 to 50 minutes for their presentations, doing it alphabetically.

The public is welcome to listen to the interviews, but not to participate with any comments.

It is possible that one of these will be chosen and announced at the Jan. 23 meeting of the school board. From there, the architect that is selected will begin designs for the new middle school that the Northampton Area School District is expected to build on the site of the former Northampton Branch of the Bethlehem Vocational – Technical School.

Much criticism has been heard about Alabama’s new law aimed at slowing illegal immigration, of mostly Hispanics illegally slipping into this country for jobs. So much so that the Speaker in the Alabama House of Representatives has responded.

Speaker Mike Hubbard corrected much of the reaction to that state’s law which, primarily, only strictly enforces federal policy not being enforced.

“What critics don’t tell you is that the law’s most ballyhooed provisions are virtually idential to federal law. Current federal immigration law penalizes employers for hiring undocumented workers, requires non-citizens to carry documentation, and prohibits conduct that aids and abets federal immigration violations,” he writes.

What Alabama is doing is logical, and more states should follow if the nation is to do what it can to retain a legal majority population, which is in every American’s best interest.

Opinion 2012 Resolution: Put Pennsylvania Back to Work

By Rick Bloomingdale

President, Pennsylvania AFL-CIO

New Year’s resolutions generally conjure up good intentions to lose weight, spend more time with family and friends or reorganize.

But for millions of Americans, this year’s resolutions are more urgent: Find a job.

Make enough money to cover groceries and rent. Afford to send kids to college. Save for retirement.

It’s the American Dream— but one that’s slipping further and further out of reach for the middle class. As the state Legislature starts a new session, our lawmakers in Harrisburg have an opportunity to help Pennsylvanians keep their New Year’s resolutions by coming together and making jobs a No. 1 priority.

The solutions are simple: stop rewarding companies who outsource American jobs or manipulate their workers, make corporations pay their fair share, and create new jobs. The time to act is now.

The not so “Great” Recession officially ended in the summer of 2009, but with more than 13 million people unemployed, it’s clear the struggle isn’t over.

Over the last year, our country has continued to suffer through a jobs crisis unlike anything since the great depression. Communities all across the country are struggling with long-term joblessness. Nearly half of all unemployed workers have been without a job for more than six months. Nearly one in four young workers is unemployed. In Pennsylvania, over a half million workers are unemployed in any given month.

Yet too many of our elected leaders haven’t shared this urgency. Our recovery remains threatened by irresponsible budget cuts in Congress, states, and cities across the nation. Record numbers of home foreclosures, high levels of consumer debt, and a weakened middle class also plague this nation.

But instead of stepping up to the plate with commonsense solutions to grow our economy, many politicians have harnessed the jobs crisis to pursue a political agenda that rewards the wealthy while demanding deep cuts for working people.

In Harrisburg, we are fighting cuts in public and higher education, cuts in public safety, privatization of public education, cuts in wages for building and construction workers, cuts in care for the elderly and disabled, and privatization of one of

Pennsylvania’s most valuable public assets - Pennsylvania’s Wine and Spirits shops, which provide over 5,000 good family sustaining jobs for working people in this state.

You can’t fight a recession by throwing more workers on the unemployment line.

You can’t improve economic growth and recovery by continuing to redistribute the wealth to the top 1% of America.

As the Legislature gets back to work, their first order of business should be passing transportation funding legislation to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure.

Governor Corbett’s own experts put the bill at nearly $3 billion, which would just cover the most urgent and needed repairs to our bridges, roads, and mass transit systems.

If it is done right, this will be a real job creator for Pennsylvania. Hundreds of thousands of unemployed construction and manufacturing workers living here in Pennsylvania would be back to work in a matter of months.

Not only would this be an immediate boost to local economies, but improving our roads & bridges will make us even more productive and competitive in moving products and services to customers in the future. There is a reason we are called the Keystone State. Pennsylvania is the hub for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region, and we should be taking more advantage of our position. It’s a win/win for both labor and business.

The Governor and the Legislature should pass legislation that gives preference in government purchases and procurement to American/ Pennsylvania made products and services. A Buy American/Buy Pennsylvania preference will ensure that public funds aren’t spent on job creation in other nations when they should be spent protecting and creating jobs here.

And we need to reform our tax system to ensure corporations paying their fair share by closing tax loopholes and taxing the rich among us. Here in our State, it means a fair tax on Marcellus Shale extraction to pay for environmental protection, cleanup, and to help fund education and care for the elderly and disabled. It also means closing the corporate tax loopholes that are unfair to workers and small business owners who do pay their fair share.

We are asking our lawmakers to commit to a real jobs creation agenda in the New Year, not more phony attacks on workers that are cloaked or marketed as being job creators. It is time to make good on the promises made to Pennsylvania’s working families in the last election. It is time to put Pennsylvania Back to Work!

The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO is a statewide labor federation with over 800,000 union workers who are members of labor unions affiliated with the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO.

What nice weather we’ve been having lately! Maybe some call it global warming, but it’s nice, and I’ll take it for a while. We had a cold spell for a bit and you know how that was, too cold!! It was even so nice in the daytime over the weekend, I saw some joggers in shorts getting their exercise. At night it gets cold enough so the slopes can make snow, maybe not as much as they want, but it’s like farming. Some years it’s good and some years it’s not so good. . . . That hockey game at Citizens Bank Park got me to watching hockey more over the weekend. In the first game with Ottawa, there were some power plays for the Flyers. Well, Barry Berger of Slatington missed out on $125 when the Philly team couldn’t come up with a goal during one power play.

But then a Fleetwood woman won $150 when the Flyers did get their second tying goal in the third period. Danny Briere scored a hat trick, and all the hats came down on the ice after the game in overtime. Yep, it was kinda exciting. Now I know what J. M. and her kin from Northampton see in the game, and are no doubt excited about the Phantoms coming to Allentown next year. . . . Breakfasts all over on Sunday – Bath Legion, Allen Twp. Fire Co., Bushkill Twsp.

Fire Co., and at Schnecksville, where a mummer strutted his

stuff. . . . I hear singer Tony Bennett may be coming to Northampton come February 11th. That’s the rumor I heard the other day. . . .Sorry to hear about Rose Silvius and Paul Michael passing away. It’s always sad when you know folks for years and it’s their time.

So my sympathies to their families, and to all others who have lost loved ones. . . . I hear members of the school board had a big surprise on Monday night. They all got thank you cards, some small, some gigantic, that the kids in local schools made for them. . . .Ye Ed also told me that folks in Northampton shouldn’t get excited next Monday afternoon when they see a bunch of cop cars in the high school parking lot. It’s just a training exercise for school safety.

Always better to be safe than sorry. . . . This is the year, 2012, when Bath is gonna celebrate our 275th anniversary. Meetings are putting all the plans together, and if you can help, let Fi or Barry know. They can use all the help they can get, and make sure you stop in at the souvenir store and get some things for the celebration. . . . Can’t close this letter without talking about football. Sorry, Elmira. The Giants and Broncos were two of the winners over Atlanta and Pittsburgh, and now they have the big tests coming up this weekend. In college ball, LSU didn’t have a chance

Too Much Fruit?

At the outset, please know that diet has a significant impact on your overall health and in developing your ideal, lean mass, weight. Yes, exercise plays an important role and I do not want to minimize it. But diet is everything.

Following this premise, it is important to know what to eat, when to eat it, and just how much. It can get confusing actually. We need to keep it simple.

Understandably, in a world where cholesterol and fat are falsely seen as bad for you, grains and fruit appears to be the “go to” favorites. Not so.

Somehow this information is embedded in our culture and yet, as we can plainly see, our nation is getting sicker and sicker.

Candidly speaking, if your desire is to get leaner one must avoid grains. This is a daunting task as grains are seemingly inherent to everything. Cereals, bagels, donuts, pizza, pasta, breads, and the like. One overlooked category to evaluate is, in fact, fruit as well. Perhaps you are eating way too much and are worse for it. Maybe you should stop eating fruit altogether for a while.

I can hear the phone ringing now and the emails that will be on our computers Monday morning! Heresy!

How can I make such a bold claim? Because it is true and you may never hear it anywhere else.

Please consider that all forms of sugar in our diets need to be drastically reduced. This is not for debate.

The sugar found in fruit, fructose, is simply…..a sugar.

Fructose is and can be a major contributor to obesity, insulin resistance, elevated LDL’s, elevated triglycerides, cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, gout, and an actual depletion of certain vitamins and minerals. Astounding.

The biggest reason, insulin resistance, is the elephant in the room. This “resistance” is

the beginning of the cascade of events that lead to poor health and a less then vital life. So put down those ten peaches and step away from the counter.

Fructose in the natural is not our only challenge. So is high fructose corn syrup, a man made concoction. Avoid it at all costs, especially if you are already overweight, have diabetes, or any other disease in general.

Take as a suggestion to limit fructose from all sources to be about 25 grams a day.

Less if you have diabetes. For the past four weeks I have avoided fruit altogether. I did increase my intake of all vegetables, olives, protein and oils (olive and coconut). I have done this as part of my holiday “recovery” program.

I want all excess out of my system. My best guess is that many reading today have in fact cut out the oils and supposedly bad fats and are mass consuming whole grains and excessive fruit. Exactly the wrong approach, in my opinion. Good luck!

You may say, what does that mean? Or, I hope I “get it” so my business is running with the big dogs. Getting it means you understand, are committed to and are willing to be innovative when designing a marketing plan. Don’t forget to add “FREE STUFF”.

When building a business, I believe the most important trait a business owner can acquire or develop is the ability to get inside the head of your

client or customer. Understanding what makes them tick and what makes them purchase. I guess the obvious would be superb customer service and a great product.

Bangor man receives spinal Cord stimulator implant

Bangor resident Jeff Hardick lay in bed, staring at the ceiling of his bedroom. He had spent three years this way -- three long years engulfed in the despair that only someone in chronic, excruciating pain can feel. After 47 years of active lifestyle, Jeff was now taking 270 pain pills a month, passing out daily and having trouble with simple tasks.

He threw up regularly from the pain and medications and often suffered from bruises and cuts.

“The pain overrode my life,” Jeff said. “That’s all I thought about.”

Jeff’s back issues started in 2001 while he was bending sheet metal on a hydraulic press, and he felt a pop in his back. For nearly 8 years the pain continued as he attempted to manage it with pain medication. He underwent a successful surgery in 2008 and returned to work.

In 2009, Jeff was lifting heavy sheet metal when he felt the sharpest pain he ever experienced and passed out.

After spending two weeks in the hospital and seeing a multitude of specialists, he was told that he would probably be spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair and on heavy pain medications.

“I had given up,” Jeff, suffering from depression, said.

His wife Terri and daughter

Nicole had not. They struggled to get him to get out to dinner or to talk with friends.

He was not interested. All he heard and felt was screaming pain.

A Chance Meeting While at the grocery store one day, Jeff and Terri ran into a former coworker of Jeff’s who observed him walking with a cane and hunched over in pain. She told the couple about an article she read about pain management through spinal cord implants and sent Jeff the article about the FDA approval of Medtronic, the medical device company that researched and developed the technology.

Jeff spoke to his pain management physician about the implant who put him in touch with St. Luke’s neurosurgeon Dr. Steven Falowski, the region’s only fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in functional neurosurgery in the Lehigh Valley.

NeuroStimulator “Jeff was a good candidate for this procedure,” explained Dr. Falowski. “His pain was no longer managed by medications and his once-active life was impacted severely by the pain he experienced.”

The procedure involves an electrode,RestoreSensor Neurostimulator® which is implanted in the patient’s

back near the source of the nerve pain and a movement sensor under the skin of the buttock. The implanted electrode produces mild electrical impulses to block the transmission of pain from the nerve endings before the pain impulse reaches the brain. The surgery is used in conjunction with pain medication for some people, but some patients are able to stop all medications. The device senses when the patient is standing, sitting, lying down, or moving left or right and adjusts the level of therapy as needed.

“This is the first implantable device that actually can learn what an individual patient’s body tolerates and prefers - then can automatically change the therapy levels based on the body’s reaction,” said Dr. Falowski.

Dr. Falowski has performed nearly 250 of the neurostimulators placement surgeries.

He has co-published a paper “Awake vs. Asleep Placement of Spinal Cord Stimulators: A Cohort Analysis of Complications Associated with Placement” that was published in the January 2011 edition of Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface medical journal.

Dr. Falowski stressed that the procedure is not a “last resort” for patients – and recom-

In fact, he recommends patients undergo the procedure earlier in the disease state.

RULES✷ ✷ ✷ The National Football League is, finally, considering new rules for play to reduce the number of serious and permanent head injuries.

Permanent back and knee injuries are probably inevitable, unpreventable--as are serious leg, foot and arm injuries.

Equally desirable are rules to limit serious injuries in Mixed Martial Arts. Over the Christmas holidays there was one television fight in which

one fighter used his knee to smash into his opponent’s face!

Another disturbing scene was a kick in the eye of an opponent. But brutality and dangerous fighting bring in the customers and money--as in football--too often determines rules and regulations.

Updated rules are also needed for car racing. There’s no necessity for cars to go so fast. Racing at 150 miles an hour is just as exciting as 200 m.p.h. And limiting the distance between cars could avoid some crashes, some fatal to an unlucky driver. This would also eliminate tactics in which one racer intentionally drives almost bumper to bumper.

Also, boxing gloves could be required to be larger, so that knockouts would happen less often, and be less likely to inflict permanent head injuries.

After all make-ups, two Teams still tied in darts

St. Paul’s UCC of Northampton and Salem Lutheran of Bethlehem were tied for first place before the holidays, and they still are, even after a couple make-up games in the Suburban InterChurch Dart Baseball League.

District Governor visits Bath Lions and Lionesses

District 14-K’s Governor Joseph J. Chunko of Hellertown made his official visit to the Bath Lions and Lioness Clubs at their dinner meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 4 in the fellowship hall of St. John’s Lutheran Church. He was introduced by Zone Chairperson Judith Ott and welcomed

by Lions vice president Marvin Werkheiser.

Chunko outlined goals of the Lions International president – to believe. . . . in

Service (planting one million trees worldwide, starting with one in Seattle, and already 6,644,495); Member Orientation, making members feel wanted; Promote Lionism in the Community; Nurture Our Future, and have Courage and Commitment to Action.

To those, Chunko added his theme, “Color the World Bright”, and he wants members to have fun as they serve in the community; bring children to meetings; en-

hance the Leo program for youth; and encourage Lions to be role models. His goal is to have clubs plant 100 trees. (Werkheiser told him he helped scouts plant 1,500 trees). The district governor is hoping for 1,125 members, wants two new Lions clubs, more female Lions, and is seeking proper orientation of new members so they can be active.

He presented president’s pins from LCI President Dr. Wing-Kun Tam for Lions president Jack Metcalf and Lioness president Andrea Figura.

Chunko is meeting with the 38 Lions and seven Lioness clubs in the district of Northampton and Lehigh counties this Lions year.

There will be a district bowl-a-thon in Bangor and Whitehall on March 18, raising funds for sight-related needs.

When the district has its annual convention April 2122 at the Four Points Sheraton in Allentown, International Director Carolyn Messier from Connecticut will meet with all club presidents. On May 6, there will be a Melvin Jones Fellowship luncheon at the Meadows in Hellertown, when International Director Alan Riever of Delaware will be the speaker.

PDG Bernice Kulp urged all the members to turn in their survey forms so the global membership and leadership process can continue in a positive direction.

The Lions voted to award another $250.00 memorial scholarship at Northampton High School graduation. On Saturday, they removed decorations from tree community Christmas tree.

PDG Donald Trexler of Germansville will speak on Beacon Lodge at the Lions meeting on Jan. 18.

Larry Kemmerer, Chairman of the Zoning Hearing Board, lauded Ed Butler and Dave Tashner who worked on reform of zoning in 2011, noting that it was not an easy task and they did a good job.

THE HOME NEWS Jan. 12-18, 2012 his involvement and appointment.

Following the reorganization meeting, the board held their first regular meeting of the 2012 calendar year. In a brief financial statement from treasurer Gable, it was noted that all the bills for 2011 were paid at the end of December and there were no carryover bills to pay.

Also noted that this is the first time in many years that Moore Township did not need to take out a tax anticipation loan. The financial status of the township is “in good standing” according to Gable. He was commended for his attention to detail and helping the township get to a good place financially.

Other Items • Farmland Preservation Committee Secretary Lois Kerbacher noted that six people have expressed interest in the preservation process and have sought information on applying in the township. The board approved the purchase of development rights for the farms of John Csencits and Kenneth Faust.

• Solicitor Backenstoe spoke of the ongoing hearing involving MetroTek. The company is currently seeking approval for a solar project at Moore Elementary School.

Oral arguments were heard in Northampton County on January 3, and it may take up to 90 days to hear a decision from Judge Michael Koury on the use of the land at the elementary school.

• The board approved the purchase of a bucket truck from Nazareth Borough for $7,500, a purchase that will help in cutting tree limbs and changing light bulbs and will surely be an asset to the township.

The weight limit on Cigar Rd (2 tons) was questioned by a resident. The weight limit opened up a conversation with Dave Tashner, who addressed the audience and constituents by saying that he invites everyone from the township to Continued on page 14

card for their service, two who were just elected and others who have served a number of years on the board.

Kovalchik said they are a “nice group” from a crosssection of the communities that make up the district.

“The board does a fantastic job in trying to satisfy 40,000 residents,” Kovalchik said.

The cards, of all shapes and sizes, were made by elementary pupils in the areas where each of the directors reside.

Concluding the joyous part of the meeting, Kovalchik told the board members, “Thanks very much for your efforts.

We have a lot to do in the year ahead,” noting that the average school director puts in 20 hours a month for the school

system.

Earlier in the meeting, Kovalchik made several announcements: • Stabler Arena at Lehigh University has been reserved for high school graduation on Friday, June 8.

• Hearings on the proposed solar energy projects at Moore and Lehigh Elementary School could be held “in the next four months”.

• At the Jan. 23 meeting the financial state of the district will be revealed, as the district, like others across the state, wait to find out how much money they will get from the state.

• Teachers will have in-service this Friday, Jan. 13.

• The guidance counselors will be getting a $145,000 grant.

Cyber Academy Mrs. Lydia Hammer led a

presentation on the district’s Cyber Academy, which virtually links instruction and curriculum, an online curriculum service in partnership with Colonial Intermediate Unit #20.

Students remain enrolled in the school district, and those who complete district graduation requirements receive a diploma from NASD. They may participate in NASD cocurricular activities. The academy is for 6th to 12th grade.

The goals: To develop and implement flexible options for students to reach goals, and to provide the opportunity to complete course work entirely on-line at home.

The primary vendor is Aventa Learning. NASD Cyber Academy course facilitators include: highly qualified teachers; student/teacher communication; maximum 15 students in class; ongoing professional development; and consistent progress reports.

Students must complete course work and have to log on daily. Technology is required for the courses – computer or laptop reliable Internet access.

Of the academy, Kovalchik said, “Services and choices are necessary today, and we have to accommodate that.

We aren’t opposed to school choice, but the issue is funding.”

Other Matters • The board approved Mrs. Maureen Sproul as acting principal and Robert Steckel as acting assistant principal of Northampton Area High School until the return of J. William Hume, high school

principal. Kovalchik thanked both of them for “stepping up.”

• Resignations accepted were lead custodian Barry Loch, effective July 26, 2012; head football coach Robert Steckel, effective Dec. 19, 2011; instructional assistant Sherri DeFrain, Dec. 26, 2011.

• Hired: Rachel Elliott, LTS science teacher in middle school, Dec. 2, 2011 thru the school year.

• The board approved Ms. Anita Mateyak, Jason Winchenbach and 9 to 14 FBLA students to attend/ compete in the state competition and leadership conference in Hershey, April 15-18.

• Seven bids for fuel oil, gasoline, diesel winter additive, and off-road diesel were approved.

• A software general lease agreement with K12 Systems for their Sapphire Special Education IEP Writer/Child Count module was okayed for $24,000 for the start-up fee and the present school year.

Board President David Gogel said there was a $107,000 savings.

• A Moore Township mother thanked the district for helping her 5th and 9th grade student children transfer back to NASD, and get individualized instruction under the gifted program.

After the meeting, coffee/ tea and cookies were enjoyed by everyone.

NAZARETH AREA

NAZARETH BORO – LOWER NAZARETH TP. – UPPER NAZARETH TP. – BUSHKILL TP.

New member of school Board after Maher death Michael Woodland, 45, of Upper Nazareth Township was elected to the Nazareth Area School Board on Wednesday, Jan. 4, by a 5 to 1 vote. He fills the vacancy left recently when Thomas Maher died suddenly on Nov. 30 after winning re-election in the November 8 municipal election.

Woodland was named over another nominee by the board, Hayden Phillips.

A co-owner of Dan’s Camera City in Allentown, Woodland is a 1984 graduate of Emmaus High School and

a graduate of the Antonelli Institute of Art and Photography.

He will represent Region II, which covers the western district of Upper Nazareth Township and all of Lower Nazareth Township. He can seek election in the next municipal election, and if winning would finish the remaining time on the late Maher’s original term.

Woodland is also a member of the Nazareth Area School District Advisory Committee and a member of the Shafer Elementary School PTA.

Life is More Than Food “For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.”

-Deuteronomy 2:7 Wandering the fully stocked aisles of our local grocery store today, a thought occurred to me. What would it take to feed 2 million people every day? What would it take to do that for 40 years? The shelves around me would not come close to handling even one day’s provision, let alone a week’s or a month’s. Think of feeding a city the size of San Diego every day for 40 years! Now throw in the added inconvenience of being in the wilderness! Yet the children of Israel never lacked water and never lacked food. God provided it all.

Jesus said it, “Therefore, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? ... But seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew6:25-26, 33).

Place God first in your life. Seek first the kingdom of God and you will never lack provision.
