Northampton Borough Council Debates rental Ordinance

Nazareth Area High School puts On big show with ‘Little Women’

by KERI LINDENMUTH Nazareth Area High School’s Theatre Troupe has brought the beloved tale of “Little Women” to the stage in its heartwarming spring musical. Directed by John Andreadis and based on the Louisa May Alcott novel, the musical tells the story of the four March sisters in Civil War-era Concord, Massachusetts. Their father off to war, the fiercely independent sisters and their loving mother ex-

plore family, romance, and heartbreak during a time in which society’s expectation for women was that they should be seen and not heard. It is fitting that a show about strong, independent women would feature a cast of young actresses with powerhouse voices that brought audience members cheering after every single solo.

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Northampton Borough Council was presented the latest revision of the borough’s proposed rental inspection ordinance during its workshop meeting on Thursday, April 5. The ordinance is intended to establish regulations for landlords, requiring that they submit registration applications and follow licensing and inspection laws. Council unanimously voted to move forward with revisions of the ordinance and prepare it for public hearing. However, despite this vote, councilmembers’ suggestions, concerns, and ideas differed greatly, with some members strongly in support of the ordinance and others expressing it may cause more harm than good.

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

This is an ordinance looking for a problem, not a problem looking for an ordinance. Councilman Tony Pristash -----------------------

“This is an ordinance looking for a problem,” said Councilman Tony Pristash, “not a problem looking for an ordinance.” While Pristash acknowledged it is a “noble cause to have the town looking good for the future,” he worried about the effect this or-

dinance would have on the residents. At least 10 percent of Northampton residents are in poverty, a majority of them renters. Pristash said that landlords are going to pass the costs of this ordinance onto those citizens. Pristash said the borough should look at enforcing regulations for “blighted properties” first. This, he said, includes homeowners. “We are now in an area we have never been in before,” he said. “[We are] adding more government to this town.” However, not all members of council agreed with Pristash. “Unfortunately, government needs to intervene at times when there are issues of safety,” said Councilwoman Judy Kutzler. Kutzler said this ordinance will hold landlords accountable for not following laws and infringing on the safety of their tenants. “A tenant should never have to worry about raw sewage coming into their bathtubs,” she said. “You people are not in reality if you think this is not happening here…There is a face to poverty.” Kutzler stressed that this ordinance is not a way to simply create a job for someone in the borough government, a rumor that has been expressed. Under the ordinance, the rental inspection fees would be $13/ Continued on page 9

Nazareth musical Lead got start in HFS Drama Club submitted by KRISTINE PORTER Holy Family School alumna Gracie Kindt will take the stage at Nazareth Area High School in the lead of its spring musical “Little Women.” Kindt will perform the part of Jo March, a young, outspoken woman who is brave, loyal and has a prolific imagination similar to that of her creator Louisa May Alcott. The musical is based on the book by the author. “My character is my favorite in the musical,” Kindt said. “She doesn’t try to change other people. She always stays true to herself even though she has to overcome a lot of obstacles.” Kindt is no newbie to the theater. She began performing in second grade with the Holy Family Players in the school’s Drama Club. By sixth grade, she played the lead character Oliver Twist in the school’s production of “Oliver.” The following year, she took the lead as Cinderella in the school’s production of the same name. “‘Oliver’ was definitely my favorite,” she said. “Grace was a wonderful student,” said Sarah Bussman, a kindergarten teacher at Holy Family School. “She was always thoughtful and kind to her classmates.” Bussman was her first-grade teacher and again in fourth grade. Kindt said the opportunity she had to enter theater at a young age has really helped her as an actress now. “Mrs. Little helped me grow while I was there,” Kindt said about the director Catherine Little. “We have such a great theater program at Holy Family.” Little has been the director since 2004, and some of her students have gone on to win Freddy

Awards. “Gracie is a natural actor,” Little said. “She’s a sweet soul, delightful to work with and direct.” After her eighth-grade graduation in 2014, Kindt went on to perform in several productions at Nazareth Area High School, including the lead character Gabrielle in the 2016 Fall Children’s Theater presentation of “High School Musical Junior.” She doesn’t plan to major in theater, but instead political science when she goes to the University of Pittsburgh in the fall. “I definitely hope someday I can do some community theater,” she said. “Little Women” opened at 7 p.m. Thursday with shows again at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday evening, and a matinee at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Nazareth Area High School. The musical will be presented at those same times this week on April 12, 13 and 14. “I hope everyone can some out to see it,” Kindt said. “I think we all can learn something from it.” Holy Family School will present “Inside Out” at 7 p.m. on May 18, then at 3 and 7 p.m. on May 19, and 3 p.m. on May 20 in the gymnasium.

10 lessons From Einstein

Sometimes you just can’t make up real life. The other day I was going to pick up my mom, she’s 92 and walks with a walker. My husband went to open the back of his Jeep to load the walker and all of a sudden a car drives up and parks so close to our car that my husband could not get in between to load the walker. He asked the guy to back up and he refused, saying something about getting a ticket. We started to tell him he was in a free pick up zone and he started to yell at us. People were starting to gather and he ended up moving back a few inches while protesting the whole way. This guy was unreasonable, uninformed and unwilling to compromise. Do you know anyone like this?

10 lessons from Albert Einstein

The only source of knowledge is experience.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

5. Great spirits have always

encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

In the middle of difficulty lays opportunity.

Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.

10.

Stay away from negative people; they have a problem for every solution. Einstein was the embodiment of genius and the pre-eminent scientist of the modern age. His theories and discoveries have profoundly affected the way people view and understand the world and their place in it. Einstein was also known as a philosopher and humanist who was keenly interested in and concerned about the affairs of the world.

Einstein’s name and image are instantly recognizable everywhere in the world. As I was watching Mr. Unreasonable, Uninformed and Unwilling, I could not help but think about how this could have been handled in a compromising way. Those thoughts led me to Albert Einstein and his humorous and meaningful quotes. Pay special attention to number 10: “Stay away from negative people; they have a problem for every solution.” I love that; once identified, run for the hills. If at work, stay as far away as possible, be respectful and be yourself. Do you know anyone like Mr. Unreasonable? Which lesson is your favorite?

When he entered the Top Star, he was struck in the face and assaulted by a 17-year-old juvenile. The fight then continued in the parking lot.

On April 9 CRPD was dispatched to the parking lot of the Wal-mart on Easton Nazareth highway for a fight involving a school bus driver. Upon arrival, officers discovered a female forced her way onto a marked Colonial Intermediate Unit school bus looking for her child. When the bus driver told her there were no children on the bus and she had to get off, the female punched the bus driver in the eye causing minor injury. Officers made contact with the offending female, Lisa Conte, 34 of Easton, who was seated in the driver’s seat of her vehicle. Conte’s vehicle was parked in front of the school bus. Officers warned her she was under arrest and to get out of her vehicle. Conte refused and had to be forcibly removed from her vehicle, and was then taken into custody. While transporting Conte, she slipped her handcuffs to the front of her and attempted to run from officers. She was quickly brought under control. She was charged with F2 aggravated assault, F3 escape, M2 resisting arrest, M3 unauthorized school bus entry, and harassment. She was arraigned and admitted into Northampton County Prison under $5,000 bail.

God Is Not Dead

By Franklin L. Homme Last year several members of the church and my wife and I went to see a movie, “God Is Not Dead.” It was about a teacher who asked a question by a student in class. She just answered it as best as she could and told the truth. Now will we be willing to speak the truth or knowledge when, if the time comes, asked a question as a Christian? In other countries people are shot if they admit they’re Christian. What will we do? Some people think that never happens here. (I am not too sure.) A lot of things are changing in the country. In court, the teacher was put on stand- she was asked a question and she answered with her beliefs. Christians all over were praying for her, even outside of the courthouse. At the end of the movie, a preacher who was to send copies of his sermons to the state and refused, received notice to report to court. One thing we should remember is, this world is not our home; Heaven is. How strong is our faith? Would we deny knowing Jesus? If someone asked us if we claim Jesus as

our personal savior, what would we do? It often seems our lives swing from drudgery to challenges we don’t want. Help us to see you in the midst of whatever faces us. Show us a small glimpse of the purposeful meaning you bring to everything. Our Jesus, your God, hasn’t forgotten us. He does care. He is able. He is powerful and nothing is beyond His power. He will give strength. We must commit our self to Him and trust Him. He will not fail us. Whatever our experiences are, Paul probably encountered something you can relate to, yet he kept spreading his message of hope. God loves us and sent His son to die on the cross for our sins. Are we willing to die if asked, are you a Christian? The key to accepting the truth of God’s unconditional love is to focus on Him, not the circumstances. Even to the people who threaten us- no matter what people do, think or say, even if they reject Him- the Lord will not stop loving them. There is a price to be paid if you stop loving them. Their unsaved person may ridicule us and scoff at us. He or she may look down upon us, and consider us to be a little peculiar, or even think we are mentally ill. But always remember this: Jesus bore your shame of sin. He was crucified for

us. He went outside the camp for us, bearing your reproach. Should we not be willing to bear whatever reproach may come upon us because we follow Christ, and love Him? Nothing on this earth is lasting, and any way, it will all pass away. So which is more important- Heaven or the approval or the crowd? Christ or worldly recognition? (Heb. 13:15-16) Christiana, there is no excuse for us to ever be defeated. Plain the victory in Christ, and excuse your power, and fulfill your mission on earth. He lives within our hearts. How wonderful it is to have Christ within your heart, to serve out of love, and live a life pleasing to Him, because you love Him. The Christian life is not a life of doing in order to be saved; it is a life of living because you are saved. It is Christ living in and through you. We know He is not dead because He lives in our heart day after day. We come to church every Sunday to learn more about Him. Pray daily, talk to the Savior. He knows what you need- He is waiting for you to ask Him. Trust and obey. God’s Holy Spirit works in our inner strength. As God’s beautiful, new creations, we’re free to leave the past behind. Think about how God has worked in your lives. Doing good works by helping others, giving, loving and serving Jesus’ name. These are not optional activities for believers, but the very reason God has given us life in Christ. We cannot stem the tide of information that bombards, but we can ask God each day to help us focus on Him and to shape us through His presence in our lives. We as Christians are a walking testimony of the goodness and power of God in life, because when he loves you so much, when He has shown you tears and laughter,

when He has been more real than anybody else, you want to be with Him forever. What a privilege it is to serve God in everything we do. Let us work with a smile today, remem-

ber that no matter what we are doing, we are serving God. God is alive because He lives within us. God loves us and has compassion upon us. Think about how God has worked in your life.

Congrats, Eli ! ! . . . .I hafta ask Elmira if she saw that Moravian Hall Square over in Nazareth is having a fashion show on the 21st of this month. She has to have a ticket. It includes a luncheon. . . . Speaking of tickets, April Kucsan over in Lower Nazareth has booked 60 seats in back of the IronPigs baseball home plate on May 21st, so if you want good seats, that’s the best.

Call him at 484-347-8331. . . .The Phillies are doing so-so, but they’ve won a few games so far, one a 20 to 1 game with the Marlins . . . . The Philadelphia Flyers ice hockey team and the 76ers basketball team are really hot right now and will be in the

BATH AREA Old BathCoal Yard

By Charles McIlhaney Jr. In the early 1950s, Spengler’s Coal Yard was still in operation in Bath. It was located off N. Chestnut Street behind the Republican Club on the other side of the Monocacy Creek. As a boy, I remember seeing a matched set of dump trucks cross the old sagging bridge on their way delivering coal. A few years later, when coal operations ceased, the site was taken over by Warren Henning as a truck yard for his hauling business. Former Bath resident, Carl “Cash” Hartzell, was

one of his truck drivers. Later, the site was the truck yard for the hauling business of Irvin Jacoby. He had the old bridge replaced with the one standing today. In the in-between times, the abandoned site became a spacious play yard for my boyhood friends and I. The cindered lot became our bicycle racing dirt track, while the concrete block coal bin partitions became an imaginary grandstand. The office building, site of today’s Bath Fish Commission Headquarters, at different times served as a crude residence for a few men; the last of which being Billy Jacoby. He was a meek old soul who most of his adult life hobbled slowly about on

crutches. My dad told me that as a young man, Billy injured his ankle with an ax while chopping wood and it never properly healed. In spite of his plight, to me he always seemed cheerful and cordial and loved to talk. Sometimes, my dad would walk over to lend him some company. On one occasion, Billy sat himself down on an overturned bucket to more enjoy their conversation. After a lengthy while, as my dad starting walking home, Billy called for him to come back. As it turned out, he had sat down on his thumb and needed help to get back onto his good leg. At a later date, he died in that building.

I found this history of the Keystone Cement Company in “Doorways and Dormers”, the 1937 Bath Bicentennial book. I hope my friends over at Keystone read this column. The Keystone Cement Company was incorporated as a Pennsylvania corporation in 1926. Shortly thereafter they purchased practically 500 acres of land partly situated in the Borough of Bath and partly just south thereof. These properties were purchased from Daniel and Henry Steckel, Josiah Dech, Frank Edelman, James Rugo, Lewis Siegfried, Mike Strongofsky and John Temos.

Spring is in the air, and so are ticks www.globalanimal.com Along with flowers and sunshine, springtime also means tick season. Ticks can cause a variety of illnesses for your dog, and they can be difficult to find and remove. One of the most dangerous illnesses ticks can carry is called Lyme disease. Dog Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdoferi. When certain types of ticks bite your dog, this bacterium is passed through to the bloodstream from their saliva. The most common type of tick known to carry the Lyme disease causing bacteria is called the deer tick, which are very common in North America. Because these ticks are so small, they often go unnoticed. It is important to understand where your dog may contract ticks from in order to inspect them and reduce the risk of Lyme disease. Deer ticks can be found any time of the year, but are most common in the spring and summer months, from about April to September. They thrive in dry and moist ar-

eas and prefer tall grass or large piles of wood.

Symptoms of Lyme disease In dogs Foul breath – If you

suspect your dog may have contracted Lyme disease, check his breath. It is known that many dogs that have Lyme disease have foul breath that is similar to the scent of ammonia. This is one of the most telltale symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs. Fever – Dogs with Lyme disease are often reported to have flu-like symptoms. This means you should check for a fever. This means he may be shivering, be warm to the touch on his head and belly, and may be panting. Usually fevers are not serious in dogs, but when dealing with a possible case of Lyme disease, it is important to get to the veterinarian right away.

Lack of energy –

If your dog has Lyme disease, you will be able to tell by his

behavior. Some symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs may be a lack of appetite, no desire to play or exercise, sleeping often and even depression. A dog who is sleeping too often is not usually feeling well, and this may be a sign of Lyme disease if he was recently bit by a tick.

mon when Lyme disease goes untreated for too long. Excess vomiting, weight loss, increased urination and increased water consumption are all signs that your dog could have developed kidney problems from Lyme disease. Kidney disease may lead to death if it continues to go untreated.

work in the body by trapping foreign materials in our bodies, and in our dog’s bodies as well. Lymph nodes play an important roll in fighting infection in your dog’s bodies, and if they are swollen, it could be a symptom of Lyme disease. Check his neck and in his armpits for swollen glands.

Heart palpitations and heart attacks may occur in severe cases of Lyme disease. They do not show any symptoms beforehand, and can be very sudden and cause immediate death without warning.

Swollen lymph nodes – Lymph nodes

Joint stiffness and limping – Lyme

disease usually affects the joints and muscles. If your dog has Lyme disease, he may appear to be very stiff when walking, climbing up stairs or jumping up on couches. As joint pain and swelling increases, he will likely begin to limp as well. Limb lameness usually switches from leg to leg throughout the day as well. They may yelp when touched. Keep an eye out for an arched back when walking as well.

Some more Serious Lyme Disease Symptoms in Dogs include The following: Kidney disease

Kidney disease is very com-

Heart conditions

Damaged nervous system –

Seizures, paralysis in the limbs and face as well as behavioral abnormalities such as aggression have been known to occur when a dog is infected with Lyme disease. Sometimes seizures can be recurring, and paralysis can be permanent. Removing a tick from your dog within 24 hours will greatly reduce the chance of your dog contracting Lyme disease.

Lorah Family farm History Submitted by ED LORAH The Lorah farm in Walnutport (Berlinsville) was founded in 1910, by Frank and Ellen Lorah. They began as poultry, grain and potato farmers. They raised two children, Edgar and Olivia. Olivia was a school teacher and Edgar took over the farm with his wife Ruth in 1945. They also farmed poultry, grain and potatoes. Edgar and Ruth raised eight children on the farm. All eight still

live in the area and help with the family farm. Edgar Jr and Tim took over the farming business in 1983. By 1999, they began the pig roasting and catering business. In 2006, they started the truck and tractor pulls held right on the farm. “We wanted to have a fun event so people could come out and enjoy the pulls, along with our homemade food.” In 2005, Lorah's Farm Market was opened selling fresh beef, pork, and chicken along with brown eggs, and other products. Stop by and join us for our open house at our market, and a truck, tractor and garden tractor test and tune, on April 21.

Councilman Ed Pany said building and health inspectors should be used to inspect rental properties. The ordinance, he said, “should be simple and down to earth, so you can implement it.” Mayor Thomas Reenock suggested one way to simplify the ordinance is to scrap it altogether and use the costs that would go toward this ordinance for a fullValid Now time code enforcer instead.through April 30 “If you make the contacts, you SALE 53.99 24.99 6 - 2get results,” he said. -“Fines go no 99 99 47 22 place.” Scotts Turf Builder Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food By not employingWeeda& Feed full-time code enforcer, Mayor Reenock wondered aloud: “Maybe we are some of the problem.” “We have got to take care of what we have,” he said, greeted by applause from some members of the audience.

NAZARETH AREA ‘Little Women’ Continued from page 1

aspiring writer with a story to tell. Hailey Durner plays Marmee March, the March family matriarch. Kelly Oakley plays Meg, the eldest March sister; Maura Muretta plays Amy, the youngest March sister; and Anna Soldano plays Beth, the kindhearted March sister who can find the good in any character, even the grumpy Mr. Laurence next door. Kindt is able to perfectly capture Jo’s strong spirit and quick wit. Her performances of “Better,” “Astonishing,” and “The Fire Within Me” are the show’s standouts. Kindt is on stage for nearly

the entire musical and her energy never falters. Durner also shines in her solo performance of “Here Alone,” in which the audience gets a sense of Marmee’s courage firsthand as she works to take care of her four daughters. Other highlights of the show are when the March sisters perform together. In songs like “Our Finest Dreams” and “Five Forever,” their voices blend perfectly and ring throughout the theatre. In addition to the March sisters and mother, several men enter the March women’s lives, including the loveable Laurie Laurence and Professor Bhaer. Steven Fuquay plays Laurie, a March “brother” of sorts who instantly

becomes smitten with Jo. Fuquay gives Laurie plenty of energy and playfulness, especially in his performance of “Take a Chance on Me.” Greg Wintle plays Professor Bhaer, Jo’s professor and confidant who reads her stories and

offers his honest criticism, even if it is not always what Jo wants to hear. Wintle is able to perfectly show Bhaer’s transition from a serious and somewhat stern character into one who cares deeply not just for Jo’s stories, but for Jo herself. The musical also features

a strong supporting cast, student orchestra, and beautiful period costumes that help bring the classic tale to life. Performances of the Freddy Award-contending musical will be held at Nazareth High School on April 12, 13, and 14.

Preparing to Die Two years before his death, Mike Hanzas, who lived alone, began preparations for his demise. He bought a cemetery lot. Weekly, he visited the site where his mortal remains would be interred. He planted grass there and mowed it regularly. On Memorial Day, he placed flowers on the grave site. He said, “I want to see flowers there now. I won’t be able to see them when I’m gone!” A while later Mike went into a funeral home. “I want to buy the casket which will be my new home,” he said. One day Mike invited a nephew and the rest of his family to come to see him. After a hearty meal, Mike began to dispense personal things. Then he handed his nephew his will. As he did this, he dropped dead of heart failure! So far as we know, Mike had made every provision for his body but none for his soul! What provisions have you made for your soul? Death is a fact of life. The Bible asks, “What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?” (Psalm 89:48) “For the living know that they shall die...” (Ecclesiastes 9:5). Mike was prepared to die as far as this life goes, but was he prepared for what was to follow? The Bible says, “...it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:14). “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:12). A person is not prepared for the judgment until he has repented of his sins and accepted Jesus Christ as His Savior. The Bible says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (I John 1:9). Have you done that?
