Rental inspections concern some Cement Worker of the Month- Phillip Retter Northampton supervisors

By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Northampton Borough Council’s public workshop meeting on Thursday, April 4, some supervisors expressed concerns over enforcement of the borough’s rental inspection ordinance. The ordinance went into effect this year.

Borough manager LeRoy Brobst said that compliance with the ordinance is at 34 percent. A second round of notification letters will be sent to landlords who have not yet scheduled an inspection. These letters will be sent by the end of April.

Brobst said that the compliance rate was about where he expected it to be.

“I would have estimated a 30 percent return.”

If landlords do not reply to the second notification, “then we are going to have to get ugly,” added Brobst. The township solicitor will get involved.

Councilman Robert McHale expressed concern over the compliance rate, as well as the failure

rate. About 33 percent of the properties inspected thus far have failed.

“I am surprised by the failure rate, after owners said there were no issues,” McHale said.

Brobst said that the failures were the result of minor details. “[The landlords] that have not responded, those are the places that could be falling apart,” he said.

McHale, Councilwoman Judy Kutlzer, and Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. all expressed interest in having the borough’s two part-time zoning officers work longer shifts, or move to full-time positions.

“Two part-time people working 13 hours a week cannot get anything done,” said Kutzler.

Lopsonzski, Sr. said the ordinance requires a full-time officer and part-time associate.

“It comes at a cost…[but it] can be a sustaining situation.”

However, Lopsonzski, Sr. added that he understands why compliance and enforcement seem

slow moving at the start.

“It is developing slowly because you cannot really rush into it...It is a tough job. [You are] inundated with work that is required to move this program along.”

In other news, the borough will be applying for a Community Service Block Grant in the amount of $10,000 to construct a community garden on the north side of the borough’s ambulance building. The garden will benefit the food bank.

The borough also received a $45,000 Monroe County Casino Grant that will be used toward constructing a pavilion at the municipal swimming pool for the 2020 season.

Meanwhile, on May 10, a public meeting will be held at the borough’s wastewater treatment plant. The meeting will begin at 10 am. It is an opportunity for the public to learn about storm water runoff and why it is important to combat it.

Finally, a 30-day review process Continued on page 2

Phillip Retter

By ED PANY Mr. Phillip Retter was reared in Easton, graduating from Easton High School in 1988. At age 13 he started to work at his uncle’s garage in Nazareth, “Fluerer’s Auto Body,” recalling, “I worked there after school and each summer. My father Glenn helped out and was on the pit crew of Al Loquasto, an Indy racecar driver who drove the Frosty Root Beer car in the famous Indy 500.

After graduation, Phillip worked at Einfalt Salvage Yard, starting at four dollars an hour, running every piece of equipment including loader, trucks, bulldozer and was a truck mechanic.

After 18 years at Einfalt, he was hired by Smith & Hahn, a construction company who did work in our local cement plants.

With this experience, he was hired by Essroc as a millwright.

He said, “I was hired by Essroc and in a few days we were sold to Lehigh Heidelberg.” Phillip is one of 18 millwrights who man two shifts at Plant #1 and Plant #3, the old Lone Star facility. The supervisors are Jon Hahn, Jack Santo, Todd Eck and Brian Jones.

He said, “Each day is a challenge, but I like the mechanical aspects of the job, working on equipment in the coal mill, preheater, crusher, pack house and quarry. Mike Haberle and other employees have shared their experiences with me. Most employees live close to the plant so there is a community spirit here.”

Each morning a safety meeting, a “toolbox talk” discusses safety issues in the plant and the industry. Safety is always stressed.

Mr. Retter has had an interesting career racing modified cars from 1989 to 2006. In his 44x car, he has won 43 feature races on many tracks from Flemington to New Egypt.

He remembered, “My largest purse was $12,000 at the Flemington “Challenge of ChamContinued on page 2

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

The Real Cause of Being Overweight I know a lot of people who are just so frustrated with their weight. Candidly, it isn’t weight loss they want, it’s waist loss.

Am I right? Virtually everyone just wants the stubborn weight around their belly to come off.

I understand. The problem with weight loss is that more often than not, it isn’t selective. You can’t spot treat an area per se. You can, however, stop focusing on weight/waist loss and focus on something dramatically better… feeling alive.

The failure rate with those who only focus on weight is significant. Even when weight loss is achieved, it’s only a matter of time before the weight is put back on and typically even more so than when they started. I know this to be true because I am in the trenches here. What I have come to know is that the weight is generally just a symptom. Much like a fever, something is causing the issue. Perhaps behind the fever

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Helping for 20 years is a virus or a bacterial infection.

Address the infection and the body normalizes and, voilà, the symptom, the fever, disappears.

Get that? So why don’t we take that same thinking for a moment and apply it to excess weight on our bodies?

Have you ever stopped to think what is the true cause of any excess weight you carry around? Oh I can here laughter now as you’re saying the true cause is the influx of food you shouldn’t be consuming. So yes, excessive food intake can and does lead to excessive

body weight. Let’s get the chuckle out of the way here and move on. Behind the scenes of virtually all of those seemingly struggling with weight is a cause. I have seen thyroid dysfunction and adrenal fatigue as seemingly being a cause. I have seen hormonal imbalances, emotional imbalances, and financial strain as being a cause. So many variables are at play that can ultimately lead to unwanted weight.

So what are we to do about it? Well, stop putting garbage in your mouth absolutely has to be included in the approach somewhere, but that’s not the gist of all this. I suppose the very first step is to quietly sit down and put pencil to paper and take stock of your life.

Why would I say such a thing, you’re wondering?

Well, oftentimes I find that those whose weight (or rather, health is what we should call it) is extremely out of balance, they become so entangled with frustration and fed up with it all that they seemingly just give up. There is more to that aspect, yet let’s leave it there for space sake. So with that said, before you start on a fad diet, before you start searching for the real cause of it all, before you purchase a pill, potion or elixir, I would urge you to do some soul searching, some mental aikido, and determine who you are, who you want to be, what’s the most important thing(s) to you, what brings or would bring you peace and joy.

This to me is the first step to any long term weight/waist loss program. These are not small things.

I have found time and time again that the starting line is always the starting line and that there truly never is a finish line.

It’s simply progression, a journey, an experience based on a million little thoughts that ultimately lead to our million little actions in the physical world.

So step one: Get your mind in the game first. Step two: Look deep inside and, at the very least, contemplate what the true cause of excessive weight really could be. Step three: Let’s explore those in future articles.

My best to you "Natural Perspectives" is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/ or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.

by CAROL RITTER

Did you say I’m Not important?

Last week my sweet mother was in the hospital again. If you have never experienced an emergency ward, it’s a very hard and quite unique experience. After watching families with their loved ones many times over the past three months, I can’t help but notice the hustle and bustle of the emergency ward. Overall, I will say that the customer service we received was reasonably good.

As a matter of fact, the nurses get a big “A+” for the care and compassion they showed my mom and our family.

Feeling grateful, relieved and happy that my mom was going to be okay, I had quite a different experience. She was moved to a room and my sister and I took turns being with her once she came out of the emergency ward.

So every morning before we went to visit, one of us would call the nurse to see how her night was.

First the phone rang and rang and rang. No answer. Then my sister called, no answer. I called back around 7:30 a.m. and I had this exchange with the gal that answered… I said, “Hello, my name is Carol and I’m calling about my mom (name). Can I speak with her nurse?” She said, “The nurses are doing rounds and phone calls are not important to us right now!” I could not believe it. I wondered what the CEO of this hospital would say if he had gotten that response if his mother was in the hospital. Some other ways she might have handled this would be to say, “I’m sorry, the nurses are doing rounds. Can I have them call you back?” or, “They are doing rounds now, can you call back in 20 minutes?”

But to say phone calls are not important sends a loud and clear message to a family member that they are not important.

Customer service is not only an issue in restaurants and stores; it’s an issue in every single small or large business. So many times employees get hired with no customer service training and if their personality isn’t that of a bubbly or naturally friendly person, the words they say can ruin the businesses reputation forever.

Telling a family member that their phone call is not important is simply unacceptable. The fear, concern and desire for information is hard enough without an inconsiderate response. Oh, by the way, the hospital just sent me a survey.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Good to see that the Bath – Allen Township baseball team is active again. The East Allen part of the team had fallen off, I guess, but it’s nice to see youth baseball.

Nothing like sports for the kids as they grow up. You never know, if they really develop, and do well in high school and possibly college. And if they get the attention of major league scouts. Wow! . .

Our best friends have hairy legs!

What should you do if you find a bunny nest? www.vetstreet.com

What Do Rabbits’ Nests Look Like?

Eastern cottontails, the most common rabbit species in the United States, build shallow nests of grass and fur in grassy areas near bushes or trees and

often right out in the open.

People may be surprised that a rabbit would build a nest for her babies in the middle of a yard, but it’s actually pretty genius.

Most predators won’t venture into an open space, so it’s pretty safe.

The trouble is, even people with a keen eye don’t always see a nest until they are on top of

it. Nests look like little piles of messy grass among the regular lawn or vegetation. Sometimes adults come across a nest, but often kids or pets are the ones to find the babies.

Should I Move A Nest of Baby Rabbits?

If you’ve discovered a nest that’s been disturbed, take a peek at the babies. Unless the little rabbits are visibly injured (bleeding or nonfunctioning limbs, for example) or obviously suffering, it’s best not to touch or move them, Comer advises. Cover the nest and leave the babies alone.

Well-meaning people may assume a nest has been abandoned because the mother rabbit isn’t there, but that’s probably not the case. Mama rabbits are smart and visit their nests only when absolutely necessary to avoid drawing attention to it, Comer says. The mother is probably somewhere nearby and will return when it’s time for the babies’ feeding and grooming, usually in the morning and evening.

And don’t panic if you or your child touches the bunnies. It’s a myth that a mother rabbit (and many other wildlife mamas) will reject their babies if they have a human scent on them. Just cover the nest and don’t touch the babies again; handling the little ones can cause injury and stress.

enough for the mama bunny to come and go but small enough to keep pets and kids out.

What Should I Do for an Injured Baby Rabbit?

If you accidentally injure or find an injured bunny, call a local wildlife rehabber for advice.

The Humane Society of the United States provides a stateby-state listing of these wildlife experts. If your dog or cat finds a nest and injures one or more of the babies, take your pet inside right away until you can secure fencing or call a wildlife rehabber. If your pet knows where the nest is, he may return to it, potentially causing more harm to the babies.

How Long Will the Rabbits Stay in the Nest?

It will be tempting to check on your little friends, but the more you visit the nest, the more you draw attention to it.

Leave it alone, and be patient.

These babies won’t be in the nest for long; in no more than three weeks they’ll emerge to begin their adult lives.

Once they are “furred” and you see them hopping about on their own, the babies are fine, Comer says. They may be small, but they will be self-sufficient enough to live on their own, so let them go about their bunny business.

And who knows? One of the babies you help protect may end up making a nest of her own in your bunny-friendly yard, too.

Check your yard before you mow your lawn. It’s common for people to discover nests while they’re doing yardwork.

If you find a nest, mark the area in some way so you know where it is. Comer recommends a marker flag or small sign in the ground near the nest.

Comer also advises if you have curious pets or younger children, consider putting up temporary plastic fencing around the nest. You can get this at your local home improvement store. Just make sure there are holes large

Special Services With Dave Brady

We invite you to attend coming special services with Evangelist David Brady at Northampton Assembly of God, April 10-14, Wednesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 6:00 p.m., and Sunday at 10:45 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Brady is a lively and anointed preacher with a likeable and unique way of powerfully sharing the Gospel. We recall him preaching an inspiring and challenging message several years ago on the story of Jesus turning the water into wine. He likened the empty waterpots to Christians who must be empty of self and then filled with the water of the Word of God and prayer in order to be miraculously used by Christ to meet the needs of people around them through the power of the Holy Spirit (pictured by the water being turned into wine). He emphasized that pots which are empty of the Word of God and prayer and are out in the sun (external pressures) become “crackpots.” The congregation roared with laughter at times in appreciation of his ability to humorously communicate spiritual truths, and then they responded to his challenge to greater commitment to Christ by seeking the Lord earnestly around the altar.

Evangelist Brady grew up in a dysfunctional and alcoholic home. By the age of 15 he was on the streets using drugs and alcohol, but nothing satisfied! One night, he was drinking with his friends in the woods. He recalls, “The more that I drank, the more empty I felt. I began smashing beer bottles against the trees yelling ‘There has to be more to life than this!’” As he returned home, he heard the Sunday morning bells of a church compelling him to come. There, at the age of 18, he heard the message of salvation and came to Christ. The Lord set him free from drugs and alcohol and called him into the ministry. For over 35 years, he has been preaching the Gospel and helping free others from the bondage of sin and destructive habits.

We urge you to come and bring others who need spiritual help with you.

The winners of April's arrangement awards are Linda Bray for "Spring Wreath" and Carol Bear and Linda Kortz for their interpretations of "Tax Day," a triangular arrangement. Congratulations to them all for their lovely work.
