Dunkin’ Donuts in Bath gets Preliminary OK from Council By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Although a number of questions were posed by Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman, preliminary/final condition approval was given by Bath Borough Council on Monday to the proposed Dunkin’ Donuts land development at 107 E. Main St. Mrs. Heckman recommended that the plan be tabled until PennDOT’s approval comes through. If PennDOT makes changes, the plan would have to come back again for final approval. She said that PennDOT approval would be needed before a building permit could be issued. She also questioned if there was a variance granted by the zoning hearing board for tree plantings. The plan does include trees based on the number of parking spaces. The plan had received several variances, and Councilman John Kearns and Mark Saginario were satisfied that the developer did comply with all requirements, including impervious surface of blacktop and the number of businesses at one location. Councilwoman Katherine Roberts questioned hours and number of employees. The owner said it would be open 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., with two employees at each shift. Other Matters • The Bath 275th Anniversary Committee requested permission to have banners made for municipal poles, estimated to cost $300 each,

using the balance of funds. They suggested placing them at the entrances to the borough. While at first agreeing to keep old commemorative banners in place, it was finally agreed to take down those that are tattered. Councilwoman Jennifer George suggested American flag banners with flowers instead of green banners. Since East Allen has green they should be another color. Fi Mirabito said they could make them red, white and blue if desired. • Safety along Union St., an alley between International TV and Kicker’s Pub, was again discussed, mainly an issue in which tractor-trailers are using it. There are differences of opinion and Bath Supply believes it would hurt their business to make a change. The International TV owner said he has had $4,700 damage done to his building by trucks. Making Barber St. two-way was another suggestion. In the end, it was decided to have Colonial Regional Police provide a solution. • Borough Manager Tom Petrucci announced that there would be a construction meeting this Wednesday on the Keystone Park pavilion project. FEMA funds from storm reimbursement will go for everything except a kitchen and appliances in the pavilion, plus a sidewalk leading to the pavilion base. Work is expected to start in a week and be completed in two to three weeks. • Council adopted an ordi-

nance amending Chapter 117 of the code of the Borough of Bath to name or change the name of certain recreation places. Before they did, however, President Robert Fields called for votes on four changes: Horner St., eastwardly of Horner St.; Race St., westwardly side; Monocacy Park, northerly side of W. Main St.; and 8 a.m. to dusk rather than 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Petrucci said application for a CDBG grant of $247,000 had been made, but if only half is awarded, the borough would have to decide where to make road infrastructure improvements. Bath is using a $4,000 grant under the dirt and gravel program to spread road materials and improvement of embankments with soil. • Fields reported that Colonial Regional will be represented at the Police Chiefs Convention, and again seeking accreditation. Detective Mike Melinsky was recently honored. • Tax Collector Debra Mills reported $54,000 in real estate taxes still to be collected. • Saginario reported a new light was installed at Keystone Park.

OpinionHH Bridge Collapse Is Another Wake Up Call

by Glenn Mollette The collapse of the Interstate 5 bridge in Mt. Vernon, Washington should be another wake up call to all of us. America cannot continue to ignore our own schools, highways and bridges while we build schools, highways and bridges around the world. We have a deteriorating infrastructure problem I support helping our neighbors around the world but we cannot continue to borrow the money to do so. America is trillions of dollars in debt. We have to get our own house in order. We cannot continue nation building around the globe while ignoring our own nation. We must balance our budget, pay off our trillions and put Americans back to work repairing and building our own infra-

structure. As our country begins to recover and prosper we can then help others. Currently we have a mentality that we must go around the world building cities and nations in other countries. We are doing this much to the demise of our own country. We can no longer rob from Peter to pay Paul. The dollars must start flowing once again in our nation. We must pay down our debt, put Americans back to work and rebuild our own nation. We can then assess what projects we can afford. The Washington bridge project will cost approximately fifteen million dollars to replace. Every state has a bunch of bridges that need serious attention. I don't know of anybody who wants to be on one when it collapses. It's time we put our tax dollars to work repairing or replacing them. Imagine your personal bank account. You have zero dollars in your account. You have 10 credit cards maxed out to the credit limit. Yet, you find a way to possess another credit card and you give that card to your teenage son and say, "There is

a $3,000 credit limit on this card. Go out this weekend and have a great time." If you would respond by saying, "That would be insane," You are right. It is insane that our country continues to spend money we do not have on projects overseas we cannot afford, to help people who do not like us, when our own house in America is so very much out of order. We must wake up and get our own house in America in order. Glenn Mollette is the author of American Issues, Every American Has An Opinion, plus hundreds of other stories, articles and books.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Sure felt like summer weather in July or August last week with all that heat and humidity. It got a couple degrees better on Sunday after some rain, and much better on Monday, and it’s supposed to be the same the rest of this week. I’ll buy that! Humidity is the worst, it takes all the energy out of you. . . . For people that are in outdoor sports, it must really be tough – like soccer, baseball, or sports where the players hafta move around so much. I reckon that if you’re young enough, it’s easier to take. For me, I’ll just watch ‘em from the sidelines or on TV. . . . Well, it’s graduation time for our high school and college students. After years of study now comes the diploma. Congrats to all of you!! . . . . Moore Township family wondered why two of their garbage cans were toppled over and spilled one morning last week. But they didn’t know that three deer, young doe, ran across Rt. 512 at 11 o’clock the night before and went into their yard. Reckon they thought they’d get some easy pickings. . . .Domonic Brown of the Phillies is hitting up a storm these days, and showing Ryan Howard how to do it. Player of the Week twice and now Player of the Month, too. Phillies fans are hoping he keeps it up and hitting gets contagious. But catching up to those homer hitting Braves isn’t gonna happen, sad to say. . . .Remodeling of those two restaurants in town and down along 512 seems to

be taking forever, but I guess one of their competitors isn’t complaining as they take on the extra trade. . . . Owners of the former Bath Hotel have re-opened their bar and grille. Nice to see that. . . .I hear a local antique store was featured in an antique collectors magazine story, and a local lad had his picture in the Bloomsburg University magazine, where he’s doing special studies. . . . Lutheran church in town is set for another big basket bonanza as they raise funds for the improvements that were made to the church building. . . . Hats off to the Konkrete Kids girls softball team for winning the district championship! I love to watch the gals play that game on TV, too. They sure are good, especially the way those pitchers throw the ball in a big wind-up. . . . With the weather heating up it’s about time for some clambakes. I’ll take a bag! Anyhow, have a great week, gang.

Bigger Than Fish Oil

Do you take a fish oil based supplement every day? I do and the odds are that you do also. Why do you take it? Do you believe it will help with cardiovascular health? Maybe you take it for brain function. Maybe to help reduce widespread, aches, pains and inflammation. It does assist with all of this and more yet what if I told you there is another supplement that I believe has a SIGNIFICANTLY greater impact on your health. Would I have your attention? What if I also told you that within a year the odds are that you will more than likely be taking this supplement and talking about it at friendly gatherings and social events just like you do now about fish oil? Your doctor will soon be recommending this little known supplement as well. There will come a time when you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever imagine not taking it daily. Sound farfetched? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so. The supplement I am talking about, and have been talking about for some time now, is L-Arginine. L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. It is semi- essential in that our body makes it yet perhaps not enough as we age. The importance of this amino acid is not the amino acid itself. It is that L-Arginine can in turn help to make Nitric Oxide(NO). Nitric oxide, not nitrous oxide, is made in the walls of your blood vessels and assists in the proper dilation of your arteries. When the walls of your arteries get damaged from continual elevated blood pressure or plaque build-up, Nitric Oxide cannot be made sufficiently. In the medical field they refer to this as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;endothelial dysfunctionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We call it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;not goodâ&#x20AC;?. If you lack appropriate amounts of nitric oxide, and we all do from what I can see, you are at high risk for developing diseases and disorders. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily my opinion or

viewpoint. My view is based on what Dr. Louis Ignarro, the 1998 winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine has to say. Dr. Ignarro and two of his colleagues discovered that Nitric Oxide was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;signalingâ&#x20AC;? molecule in the cardiovascular system. Simply put, nitrous oxide was proven to help relax and dilate blood vessels, thereby lowering overall blood pressure levels. Astounding! More than two hundred thousand research articles later we now are fairly certain that supplementing with L-Arginine to produce Nitric Oxide may improve the following: high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, stroke, cancer, aging, heart disease, impotence, macular degeneration, prostate concerns, memory enhancement, immune function, dementia, wound healing, ulcers, depression, migraine headaches, restless leg syndrome, neuropathy, Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, high cholesterol, atrial Fibrillation, and dare I say much, much more! Ladies and gentleman, I have said it before and I need to say it again. If it was anyone else stating the possible benefits from supplementing with L-Arginine I would have dismissed the source as a fraud, a charlatan. The problem is the source is a researcher that won a Nobel Prize in Medicine. So just to be clear, If you have ANY health concerns and are not supplementing with at least 4,000mg of L-Arginine per day I believe you are missing what can be the safest, easiest and most cost effective way to regain, maintain or improve your health. Oh yes, This will be bigger than fish oil within the yearâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Ś.. My best to you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural Perspectivesâ&#x20AC;? is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations.

Grow Ur Biz - You’ve Got Mail

By CAROL RITTER

Sometimes email gets a bad rap. The real question is, does it make more work for you or does it make it easier to communicate with your colleagues and friends? What do you think? For my work, I love it. I can crank out an answer in seconds and I love crossing things off my to-do list. Then, there’s the junk and the sales (sometimes good sales) and don’t forget the drugs you don’t need or want that they are trying to sell you. Remember that movie, You’ve Got Mail? Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan would rush home to turn on their computers and wait for the mysterious, sometimes humorous emails from each other. Back then I wonder if they ever thought email would become such a BIG piece of our lives. Even though I love it, I do have my limits. Here are my Pet Peeves: Carol’s 5 Email Pet Peeves You’ve Got Mail •the fake email dressed up like it’s from a friend and it’s really from a scam artist •the emails that don’t let you unsubscribe but say they do •the class reunion emails from people I did not go to school with •the emails from someone stranded in a foreign country who needs money immediately •and the emails telling me I should join a dating site for people over 55 Now that we are done complaining, here are my ideas for utilizing email in your biz.... Make sure future customers can email you through your free social media-Facebook & LinkedIn Have your email address on all marketing materials (make it easy to find) - I was recently at a networking event, a guy gave me his business card with no email address on it Don’t forget to offer free stuff and specials- keep customers coming back Collect email addresses at your place of business or through networking I really don’t mind getting

Comment On Sports By Pete Fritchie

BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷

Baseball is the choice sport of Hispanics coming to this country, more than football or basketball. One reason for this is that Latin Americans tend to be a bit shorter and lighter in weight than those of northern European heritage. But there are exceptions and the most prominent at the moment is Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers in the American League. Cabrera was recently rated by

Boys Cross Country – Alec Lederer Girls Cross Country – Brooke Durnin Field Hockey – Emily Nonnemacher Football – Imad Azar Golf – Evan Notaro Boys Soccer – Tyler Davis Girl Soccer – AnnaLia Giancaterino Girls Tennis – Darby McCall Girls Volleyball – Emily Koehler Boys Basketball – Marcus Morris Girls Basketball – Michelle Dally Girls Swimming – Jessica Santos Wrestling – Imad Azar Baseball – Cody Kramer Softball – Marlaina Laubach Boys Tennis – Geoffrey Ry-

the great Barry Bonds as the best player in the game today. Bonds said it would take several more years for that to become a lifetime rating. Cabrera stunned viewers recently when he hit three homeruns in one game. Most stunned, of course, were Houston fans in their home park. Cabrera is from Venezuela, where many American Major League players come from and is larger than most Hispanics Major Leaguers, although he lost 40 pounds two winters ago to play 3rd base. He’s one of the two main reasons many sports writers see the Detroit Tigers as the favorite in the American League, even though the New York Yankees, Boston and Texas are all impressive thus far.

at Boston University. It consists of 8 -2 hour sessions that are designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels of older adults who have concerns about falls. The program is offered free to older adults in a variety of settings by volunteers and coaches that are part of or have been trained by Master trainers from either the Bethlehem or Allentown Health Bureau’s. Classes cannot have more than 12 participants.

These classes are providing a valuable service to the older adult community as we know nearly one third of our senior population fall each year and that falls are the leading cause of injury and death for older adults. The interesting part about the training is that it was stressed that Falls are: Common, Predictable and Preventable. Falls are not a natural part of aging. Let me stress that, they are not a natural part

of aging!!!! Data shows that as many as ½ of older adults acknowledge a fear of falling and this fear is a risk factor for falls. The participants in the 8 two-hour classes learn: to view falls as controllable, to promote simple exercise to increase strength and balance, and to change their environment to reduce fall risk factors. This is all done in a group setting where everyone works together and learns from the experiences of others. So if you or your living community is interested in learning more about the Matter of Balance program please feel free to contact me at 484-515-4683 or frankd@rcn.com.

Fun day at George Wolf By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Monday was a day of fun and games for students at George Wolf Elementary School in Bath who had participated in the year-long school-wide positive behavior support program. They had earned tickets for showing good behavior all year, and those tickets were spent on Monday in a gymnasium filled with all kinds of games in a blow-out carnival. The program is called H.E.R.O. , which stands for Honor, Everyone’s face, Responsible kid, and Outstanding citizen. Whether it was throwing basketballs into hoops, or through holes, playing golf, or dressing up with crazy hats for a photo, it was a fun day that stretched from the morning to the late afternoon, with each grade alternating every 45 minutes, so everyone got into the act. Teachers and volunteers kept things running, so everybody had a great time. The staff was grateful to Karl Hirsch for his photo booth and to Ross Makary for providing all the great games that brought shouts of joy and smiles on everyone’s faces. It just goes to show, ther can be rewards for behaving well and showing respect.

During the first phase of construction, Route 33 will experience nighttime lane restrictions weekdays from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day. This work will begin in the southbound direction then move to the northbound side. This work is estimated to be completed by July. Traffic will then be shifted to the median or shoulder area to allow two lanes of Route 33 to be maintained in both directions. No long-term lane restrictions are scheduled, but motorists may experience short-term lane restrictions when needed. There will also be lane restrictions on Route 512 between Male Road and Epps Street, but one lane of traffic will be maintained in both directions at all times. The project is expected to be complete in May 2015.

In the Depths

The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 139: “Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascent to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.” God is here with us in all things and at all times. Now, that can be a scary thought or it can bring comfort. If your life is being lived in less than a godly manner, it can be scary that God is watching you and your deeds. But I say, good! You should be fearful and worried and get your act together. Try to get back on that narrow path that leads to the life God intended for you. Watch your words, speak kindly to and about others, respect yourself, other people and our earth. Treat others as you would like to be treated, especially when they don’t treat you so nice. But the words of Psalm 139 can be of comfort when you are dealing with a difficult time in your life. You are never alone. God is with you. In the dark hours of the night when fear and loneliness may overwhelm you, God is with you. In times of loss, God is with you. God is our comforter, our support. God knit us together in our mother’s womb. Each of us is created by God to be his special work of art. Live into that image of yourself and life into the image that God created you to be. In the depths of life’s struggles and joys, God is with us. Thanks be to God.

Police Blotter Colonial Regional Woman Caught In Retail Theft

Colonial Regional Police were dispatched to the Kohl’s store in Lower Nazareth Township on May 31 for a theft in progress. When police arrived, they staged in the parking lot until the female left the store. She was described as white with a black dress, and pushing a stroller with a child in it. Once the woman matching the description was seen leaving the store, police and store loss prevention stopped her in the parking lot. She was identified as Larue A. Boncher, 23, of the 2300 block on 4th St. in Easton. According to loss prevention, she attempted to leave the store without paying for $137.20 worth of clothing and other items. They were found on the bottom of the stroller and on both Ms. Boncher and her child. She had no prior retail thefts and was issued a non-traffic citation and released.

Cyclist cited for Public Drunkenness

G O ! G NGOO! !

Colonial Regional Police cited James Brouse of 2517 Lafayette Ave. Bethlehem with public drunkenness early Saturday morning.
