Size of historic district a Subject for Bath Council Noting her objections to how some borough officials handled the question of Bath’s historic district, Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman on Monday said it should not have gone to the Bath Planning Commission and its solicitor, thereby wasting taxpayer money. Mrs. Heckman said she is proud of the historic district that was formed 12 years ago. She said she has heard no residents object to its size, although Council president Robert Fields and other members of Council feel that going all the way out East Main Street and Northampton Street is too much. She said there should be a public hearing for any new proposal to change the district, and not just two members of Council and then the planning commission and its solicitor. Councilman Joe Linsenmann, a member of the BPC, said they looked at it very seriously. And when people do alter the exterior of their homes without Historic Architectural
Review Board (H.A.R.B.) or Council approval for its appropriateness, Councilwoman Jennifer George said they may not even know there is a H.A.R.B. Mrs. Heckman said the present historic district is state registered, and has been nominated nationally. Linsenmann asked her if it can be changed. Possibly, but with approval of the state, she said. Councilman Mark Saginario and Fields will meet again and come back with recommendations by next month. Other Matters • Steve Lambrinos, owner of Town & Country Restaurant, showed a sketch plan of changes he would like to make at the rear of the restaurant, noting that he has gotten nowhere with the BPC and zoning office, and has expended much money in doing so. He wants to add six to seven feet for office space, with no additional seating. But to do so, Linsenmann said, he would have to provide added parking. The suggestion was that he consult with Dianne Smith about sharing more parking in a legal agreement.
Lambrinos said he would add shrubbery and try to modernize his building. Linsenmann said there could also be a conflict with Pa. Act 167. The restaurant owner will try to work out an agreement that won’t be problematic for the borough. • Allen George, E. Main St., complained about “the corner bar”, noise, and some urinating in the parking lot. The issue will be brought to the attention of Colonial Regional Police. • A certificate of recognition was presented to Troop 43 Boy Scout JohnVeiszlemlein for having worked on his Eagle Scout project by making boards for borough rules and regulations to be displayed at local parks. He used some $700 worth of materials and had assistance in finishing the project successfully. • In her earlier report, Councilwoman Heckman said the Bath Borough Business & Community Partnership has applied for a $10,000 grant, made possible because it is an affiliate of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of
On June 9, the Manoquesy Lodge #413 F&AM of Bath enjoyed a visit by Major General Marquis De Lafayette, as portrayed by Brother Larry G. Newhard. The Lodge, whose officers were also dressed in authentic period attire, were
regaled by General Lafayette's stories of the hardships of war, the ongoing needs of the soldiers and of his own wounds suffered at the defeating Battle of Brandywine with recuperation at the Sun Inn in Bethlehem.
It was also Past Master's Night, an occasion when the lodge recognize and honors the Past Masters, living and dead. All in attendance unanimously insisted that Brother Lafayette also be honored for his service to the fraternity and his adopted country. He went on to thank the Brethren for their recognition. The General also asked that we never forget our soldiers, that we strive to meet their needs to the best of our abilities and that we too, fight for liberty and freedom. These heartfelt sentiments stand true, even to this day. This unique way of celbrating the past masters was brought about by the current Lodge Master, Peter Gigliotti. “As far as we have been able to find out this has never been done in the state of Pennsylvania,” he said. After the meeting, General Lafayette was guest of honor at a festive gathering in theFellowship Hall, where he told the group of his adventures in France, his home country, his trek to America and of his friendships with George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.

E-recycling hailed as great Success in Moore Township By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Glenn Shoemaker of the Environmental Advisory Council reported to the Moore Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, July 5 that the recent electronic recycling event was a huge success. He said that 159 vehicles hauled in 15,726 pounds of recyclables – including fax machines, computers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and monitors, among many other assorted items. In answer to a question at the meeting on how the drive is a benefit, Shoemaker said, “This way the electronics don’t end up in dumpsters.” The supervisors set June 9, 2012 for another e-cycling event. Now, with new regulations, there will be no charge for the items that are brought to the Moore Township municipal building. Shoemaker said there is no restriction on residence. In this latest collection, more than 50% of the people came from Moore Township, but there were others from such places as Plainfield Township and Wind Gap. He also advised the supervisors that the EAC newsletter for Moore Township is
being prepared for printing to an estimated 3,724 households. The board had previously agreed to pay mailing costs, which are estimated between $1,162 and $1,365, plus $175 for handling. Other Matters • Recreation board member Sterling Laubach reportContinued on page 7
Fire destroys Garage, home
A fire in Nazareth on Monday afternoon apparently started when a lwan mower erupted in flames in a garage on N. New St. It spread to a pickup truck, which exploded, then set an adjacent home on fire. The home owned by Charles Weisenberger was destroyed, but another home was saved. About 100 firefighters from 10 volunteer companies responded with Vigilance Hose Co. #1. The fire started shortly after 3 p.m. and was under control at about 5:45 p.m. The garage burned to the ground at 4:15. Temperatures in the 90’s had an effect on the firefighters and they poured water on themselves.

Good Riddance
The conviction of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich on 17 of 20 counts of criminal activity is welcome. Most Americans hope his jailing will, finally, help to end the gangsterism (and publicity about it) which has too long characterized Chicago. We have seen films made about such criminals as Al Capone, John Dillinger and others. Tourists even today visit the homes of Al Capone and find historic interest in the crime and murders of gangster lords. The country’s cowboy films also feature violence but the “good” man usually wins. Too many leaders of criminal gangs in the past have survived for decades, notably in Chicago. Blagojevich followed in the city’s gangster tradition. That he will now pay the price for lawlessness is the right example for the nation’s youth, even though he was not a killer, as so many Chicago gangsters of the past have been, sometimes successfully.
Letters from our Readers Questions Push For Home Sprinklers To the Editor: Will you please stop letting the national fire sprinkler lobby write the newspaper? Okay, we get it: You want Big Government to force everyone to buy an expensive sprinkler system whether they want one or not, so that it enriches people in that industry. Last year, 320 million Americans spent 365 days living in their homes. That’s 116,800,000,000 people/daysin-home. Let me spell that out for you so it sinks in: One hundred and eighteen bil-
lion, eight hundred million. On 2,600 of those days, people died in house fires. That means that for every day a citizen spent at home, there’s a .000000021% chance of dying in a home fire. Let me spell that out for you so it sinks in: That’s twenty one BILLIONTHS of a mere ONE percent. But because some plumbers and firemen and sprinkler salesmen want to get rich, the Home News relentlessly advocates that we all put $10,000 sprinkler systems in our new homes. In existing homes, the number Continued on page 3
Opinion A Responsible Budget
By State Rep. Marcia Hahn 130th Legislative District
Tough times call for difficult decisions...as well as wise ones. In crafting a spending plan for Fiscal Year 2011-12, the General Assembly sent to Gov. Tom Corbett’s desk a budget that makes hard choices in a trying economic climate, while supporting programs that need to be maintained in order to prepare for better days that are undoubtedly ahead. The most important of these programs is basic education. Our children are our future, and House Republicans’ commitment to that belief is reflected in this budget. State support for education was reduced in each of the last two years under Gov. Ed Rendell, who relied on federal stimulus dollars to make up the difference. Those stimulus dollars no longer exist; however, this budget returns state funding to pre-stimulus levels and restores a significant amount of the cut initially proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett. Rebounding from this economic downturn will mean preparing a workforce to compete nationally and globally. This measure of support for K-12 education is essential. It is important to remember that state dollars and federal dollars are two separate entities. Our school districts received federal stimulus dollars each of the last two years and were reminded that this revenue source would not recur this year. They were advised to not use stimulus money for projects that would need to be sustained when it was time to budget for Fiscal Year 2011-12. The absence of these one-time revenues is what many are factoring in when they say overall state funding for education is substantially reduced. That simply is not true. This budget tightens our collective belts by reining in spending. A collective bud-

get cut of $1.77 billion means a reduction for only the third time in four decades. At $27.145 billion, this budget is based on realistic and sustainable revenues and will not create a deficit by failing to live within our means. We are also taking into account future obligations, much like a responsible family prioritizes what it owes before going on a wild shopping spree. Pennsylvania is in debt to the tune of $50.5 billion. We have $12.9 billion in outstanding debt. We owe $4 billion related to loans taken out to pay unemployment compensation. We face a likely court decision that will require the state to repay $716 million that was inappropriately taken by the Rendell administration from a medical providers’ insurance fund. Ignoring these figures takes us back to the spend-thrift days that contributed to the economic situation in which we find ourselves. Couple these facts with a budget that is on time and includes no new taxes or new borrowing and we have a spending plan I chose to support. Those of us in the General Assembly are charged with being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, and this budget mirrors the responsible households of the 138th Legislative District.

30 years July 1981 of the Home News Compiled by Peggy Spengler-Moser
Bath Firefighters opened their first annual carnival with foods and rides, along with a variety of free music provided by Music City Express, Goldilocks, Jolly Joe Timmer, and Road Work. A twister hit Lehigh Township homes and made a path from Berlinsville to Danielsville with 250 mph winds. There were no deaths, but total destruction and injuries from flying glass. New NASD salaries were released. The new Superintendent received $43,000 and the Superintendent Assistant received $37,880. NASD planed to remodel three elementary schools. The Allen Township Fire Co. won first place at the Four County Fireman’s Parade for best light rescue truck. Bath Firefighters were commended for their excellent water capacity with rescue truck. The Bath Planning Commission voted unanimously to reject the final plans for section two of the Holiday Hill housing development for no effort to comply with the commission. The theme for the PA American Legion conference was “American Legion Cares About Agent Orange.” The state Legion attempted to locate Vietnam veterans that were exposed, and to help get them treatment. George Hummel, graduate of NAHS and former a Mr. Lehigh Valley, was invited to compete in the 1981 World Games in Santa Clara, CA. Rocke Rinker and Greg Gebhardt, members of Northampton area DECA Club, won National honors. Tom Van Blargan coordinated the Phillies Home Run Derby in Moore Township. 18

Flashback Continued from page 2
Outside of Friday, we’ve had some great weather the past week. Of course, humidity hadta return this Monday and Tuesday, so it kept things at broiling temperature. So it’s definitely shorts weather. . . .Rains came along on Friday, but it didn’t stop the crowd from turning out for the Catholic church picnic. With their big tent they had cover, so folks could enjoy the music for dancing and listening, and have all that great food to eat, including the clams. But plenty of other folks had some of that good Italian cooking at My Place, keeping Manny and crew hopping like one-armed paper hangers. Salem UCC up Moorestown way had their blueberry festival on Saturday and it was perfect for sitting down in the grove and enjoying food, listening to music, and going on the cake walks. Summer time, don’t ya love it?! . . . . That Friday rain put a damper on the farmers market, so the vendors twiddled their thumbs while waiting for customers. Weather’s supposed to be nice this Friday though, so get on down there and buy all those good fruits and veggies. . . . This weekend is Nazareth Days, and the merchants over there will have plenty for folks to see and enjoy. . . . I said last week I thought it would be Bath and East Stroudsburg in the Legion baseball championship games at Ciff Cowling Field. Well, I was half right. Bath is in it, but their competition is Nazareth. Best of luck to the players and coaches! It would be nice to see more Bath fans there besides Betty and Gigi, ‘cause Nazareth showed up big. . . . . Home run derby was entertaining on Monday, with some mighty long homers, most of them by the Yankees’ beloved Robinson Cano. As I sit here following that event, I hope the Nationals win the All-Star game the next day, but I figured it’s gonna be tough, even with our Phillies pitchers on the mound. Roy Halladay is the starting pitcher. Seems quite a few players weren’t gonna be there or even play because of injuries or some other reason. . . . I see gas prices are going up again
by a few cents. . . . Grapevine has it that a local fellow is having trouble getting his car registration changed from Kentucky to Pennsylvania. More red tape, I reckon. . . . Rev. Fran Merkel is back from a national church conference down in Tampa, Florida, and says it was really HOT down there, especially when there was a march downtown. . . .It’s too hot right now, even lying on my hammock and using a fan, so I reckon it’s air condition time inside, with a cool iced tea. That outside humidity just makes me weak.

would be three times that amount. Let me ask you this question: Since home sprinkler systems are so cheap and so vital and so completely necessary, if I walked into every single fireman’s house in the state I would find a sprinkler system installed, right? And in your house too, yes? Because you and the firemen would never be so irresponsible as to put your very children’s lives in danger by not having one of these critical life saving systems, yes? I think I’m smelling a whiff of hypocrisy. And just to wrap up the rest of the editorial content, the Home News believes we should balance the budget and make the insolvent Social Security program even more insolvent by increasing benefits. And we should have responded to the 9-11 attacks by doing nothing. Gotcha. John Mattaboni Northampton

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Depression and Anxiety Depression and anxiety is not an easy topic to cover nor are all the causes of, or symptoms that accompany it in a single discussion. However, there is hope and my heart’s
desire is we can discuss the essentials and build from here in further Natural Perspective™ articles. Nearly one in four become afflicted with a bout of de-
pression and anxiety (D&A) in their lifetime. If you have ever experienced either or both first hand then you already are well aware that it essentially steals your life, saps every ounce of energy, and leaves you riddled in a mire of diffuse emotions that cripple the mind, body and spirit. Know that D&A is nothing to be ashamed of. You don’t have to hide. Understand that there is hope! Agonizingly, symptoms are varied and widespread. Anger, guilt, sadness, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, negative self talk are just the tip of the iceberg. Worry is a major factor to be reckoned with and so is fear! Physical panic attacks, buzzing and tingling, abdominal problems, and widespread non-specific pain is nothing to push aside either. Again, symptoms can be so widespread and different that we could spend much time just listing them. As for the cause, let’s speak candidly here. There can be many and also overlap. Some may be a true chemical imbalance that requires prescription medicine. For others it may be a post traumatic stress syndrome such as a soldier coming back from war. Still others may have lost a child, a spouse, a parent. Maybe it is the result of a virus or infection. (Lyme disease comes to mind here as many of you may already know I was afflicted personally. The resultant condition and corresponding emotional distress it produced was an obstacle in my life. You see, none of us are immune.) Perhaps D&A is a result of a chronic state of stress that permeates your life due to circumstances, deep rooted frustration, or our current state of our economy, our country. Perhaps, like many, you just can’t put your finger on it but you are struggling nonetheless. “Anything can cause anything”.

THE HOME NEWS doesn’t mean acting like a bull in a china shop. Small, simple, relaxed steps over time should be discussed and then worked on. Remember, it’s ok to go slow. I understand that the mere thought of trying to get better is tiresome and stressful even to think about. So that is where we need to start, our thinking. We need to fortify our minds and strengthen our spirit. The most powerful way I have ever known is through the word of God in scripture. We need to be bold and courageous as we speak the truth of God’s word, healing, protection, and salvation into our lives. I personally have memorized scripture verses and repeat them throughout the day. These scriptures take away dread and fear. They improve the sense of well being. Through meaningful verses you will develop the resolve to move forward. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”, If God is for me, who can be against me”, “the Lord is my shepherd…” These are a few. There are many more and each of us will be fed and strengthened by different verses as our sit-

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷ Speculation that players and owners won’t get together on a new contract agreement and that the fall football season will not get underway is off the mark. Owners are well aware of the popularity of American football. Even college games bring in millions in ticket sales. Players make far more
than most Americans and have only a limited number of years to earn it. They are surely not going to allow a season to be cancelled. Meanwhile, there are reforms in football which need urgent attention, and one of them is being addressed-concerning head hits which cause concussions of which there have been many untreated for years. Latest figures put that number in the thousands. Another reform, not that important, is stopping players from dumping a big jug of water or Gatorade on the coach’s head.Makes no sense and in the fall and winter football weather is a danger to the coach’s health.
Bath and Nazareth playing for Legion baseball championship Bath and Nazareth teams won both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals of the Northampton County American Legion Baseball League playoffs this past week, and on Monday opened a best-ofthree series in Bath to determine the league championship. No matter who wins, both teams advance to the Region 2 Tournament, scheduled to start this Saturday in Upper Gwynedd Township. To reach the finals, No. 2 seeded Bath swept No. 3 seeded Birches and No. 4 seeded Nazareth swept No. 1 seeded East Stroudsburg. Bath beat Birches 7-3 on Saturday in Bath and finished them off, 3-1, on Sunday in Saylorsburg. At the same time, Nazareth took East Stroudsburg, 2-1, in the
first game and completed the knock-out with a 10-3 victory on Sunday in Nazareth. Nazareth Wins First Game Nazareth’s Jordan Smith threw a four hitter and his teammates scored three runs in the first inning. It was all that was needed as they beat Bath, 6-0, in the opening game of a best-of-three championship series. Smith allowed singles to Alex Longenecker and Andreas Haller in the 1st, but settled down, striking out five and walking three. Karl Keglovits drove in the fifth run with a single after a lead off triple, and scored the final run for Nazareth on a throwing error in the 7th inning. Smith had eight days rest

before taking the mound for Nazareth. Pete Doland absorbed the loss for Bath. Play was delayed in the 3rd inning when he developed a bloody nose. But he remained in the game. Nazareth batters pounded out four singles for their first three runs and were helped by a walk and a hit batter. Earlier Contests Bath edged Kemp 2-1 and 3-2 in their quarter-finals, while Nazareth tripped Big Pocono. To make the playoffs, Nazareth won out over Wanderers. In the deciding game of the quarter-final, Bath picked up single runs in the 4th, 5th and 6th innings, while Kemp posted single runs in the 1st and 7th innings. Andreas Haller had three hits, getting one RBI, as did Jim and Bob Bertolotti. The Nazareth contest vs. Big Pocono was all one-sided as Nazareth scored in every inning but one, rapping out 13 hits. Karl Keglovits and Will Godiska both had a pair of RBIs, and Mike Garzillo had three hits. One of Keglovits’ hits was a home run. The scheduled games for Friday were rained out, so semi-final action continued on Saturday and Sunday, with Bath vs. the Birches, who beat out Wind Gap, while Nazareth had to take on East Stroudsburg, which had knocked off Jeffs. In those semi-finals, Bath collected 12 hits, including Jim Bertolotti’s three run double to highlight a five run 5th inning for the first game, winning 7-3. And on Sunday, Alex Longernecker was the hero, when he hit a single in the 5th inning to break a tie, after Evan Allman had lined a double down the left field line, and Jim Sawyer doubled to center. The locals added another run in the 6th inning when Jim Bertolotti walked, advanced on an error, and stole home. Sawyer tossed a two-hitter for Bath, winning 3-1. Nazareth reached the finals by edging East Strouds, 2-1, on Saturday and whipping them 10-3 on Sunday. In that first game, Karl Keglovits threw a two-hitter and Shane Siebler’s RBI single in the second was enough as Nazareth scored their two runs. Siebler, playing right field, nailed a runner at the plate also. In the second game, Nazareth took advantage of their opponent’s mistakes and had an

Patriotism is not Enough
Continued from page 5
“Greater love hath no man that this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). “When we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son” (Romans 5:10). When nations are engaged in deadly strife, it is common for patriots to declare that he who gives his life for defense of his country may be certain of a home in heaven because of having made the supreme sacrifice. Patriotism is a virtue of which any man may well be proud. But patriotism, praiseworthy as it is from the human standpoint, will never fit the soul for the presence of God. It can never wash away the guilt of sin. The testimony of Edith Cavell, the brave British nurse who was killed by the Germans during the first world war, is well worth considering in this connection. This noble woman was born in Swardeston, Norfold, on December 4, 1865. She entered the London Hospital for nurses’ training in 1895. In 1907 she was appointed first matron of the Berkendael Medical Institute at Brussels, Belgium. This became the Red Cross Hospital in Belgium at the outbreak of the conflict in 1914. From August of that year, until August, 1915, Nurse Cavell helped to care for wounded French, Belgian, English and German soldiers alike. She ministered faithfully even to those who had fallen while fighting against her own nation. Naturally, her sympathies were with the Allies, and in cooperation with the efforts of Prince Reginald de Croy, she aided many derelict English and French soldiers who had fled from the Germans. These escaped by “underground” methods to the Dutch frontier, where, with the aid of guides, they were conveyed across to Britain. When some of these fugitives were traced to her house in Brussels, she was immediately arrested and after a court-martial was sentenced to face a firing-squad. All her kindness to the German wounded was forgotten. Her captors considered her a spy and treated her accordingly. Just before the bandage was placed over her eyes, as she stood fearlessly facing the solders who were about to take her life, she gave a last message to the world. “I am glad,” she said, “to die for my country. But as I stand here I realize as never before that patriotism is not enough.” Then she went on to give a clear, definite testimony to her personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and her assurance of salvation, not through laying down her life for others, but because He laid down His life for her. In perfect composure, she submitted to the bandaging of her eyes and, in a few moments fell, pierced by many German bullets. Her words, “patriotism is not enough!” have spoken loudly to many in the years that have gone since she died a martyr to her convictions. “What more is needed?” you may ask. The answer is “Christ!” It is through faith in Him alone that the soul is saved and heaven assured.
