ing contest. Hundreds of trout were released by committee volunteers Friday afternoon in the waters
of the Monocacy Creek, and the trout quickly adapted to their new surroundings and swam merrily in the steady flowing stream. The water was so clear the children could see where the trout were schooling up, so they cast their lines with bait such as salmon eggs, corn and the everpopular earthworm attached to their hooks. The fish took the bait and some had their limit of four nice trout in less than an hour after the 8 a.m. opening. In one case, two children, 18-month-old Bradyn Fisher and 4-year-old Daniel Berghold of the Bath area had caught all eight, aided by their mom and dad, Courtney and Dean Fisher, and grandmom Susan Fisher. Eight youngsters in one group, stationed along the Monocacy by a shade tree, had a field day. One of the little ones caught a palomino trout, usually a species that is difficult to snag. The Bath Area Fish Committee had a refreshment stand and provided prizes for the biggest trout that were caught. One member of the committee has shown up every year, and on Saturday made it with his walker.

Police Blotter Repeat Shoplifter, Spotted by Worker, Reported to CRPD
A Bath woman who previously had been convicted of shoplifting has been charged again by Colonial Regional Police. Jennifer D. Bananto, 43, of N. Chestnut St., had pleaded guilty six times between 1989 and 2013 on retail theft, and was on probation until August 2018. Last Saturday, she was charged again – this time with taking $123.78 of items from the Giant store in Lower Nazareth Township, without paying for them. It just so happened a Giant employee who was going off duty who was going out the door saw that there weren’t any “paid” stickers on what Bananto was leaving with in her shopping cart. When Joy Haverty saw that, she asked the Bath woman about a receipt, and was told that she had

(See more at: http://www.donors1. org/second-chance-blog/tag/billhankee/#sthash.tP4rAuWa.dpuf.)

Organ donation also works for donor families knowing their loved one is considered a true hero by many.” “The number of people in need of transplants far exceeds the number of organs, tissues and corneas that are donated, and at Gift of Life, we’re passionate about educating people on the need to become an organ, tissue and cornea donor,” said Howard M. Nathan, President and CEO. “Registering to become a donor only takes about 30 seconds, but it’s one of the most meaningful ways individuals can inspire hope and change the life of someone waiting for a transplant.” “As a health system, we are uniquely positioned to tend to the health of our patients and encourage our community to be mindful of wellness in all aspects of life,” said Jan Concilio, RN, VP of Nursing, St. Luke’s University Hospital - Bethlehem. “The more people we can inspire to become organ donors, the better we can serve our mission to be advocates for the well-being of our entire community.” Individuals are encouraged to talk with family members and friends about registering as a donor.

people. To sign up, visit www.donors1.org. Some important facts about organ, tissue and cornea donation: Anyone can be a potential donor regardless of age, race or medical history. More than 6,200 patients in the region await life-saving organ transplants. Thousands of others could benefit from life-enhancing tissue transplants. Only 46 percent of registered drivers in Pennsylvania have designated themselves as organ and tissue donors. With at least 101,000 people across the nation awaiting a kidney, they are the organ in greatest demand, followed by liver, heart and lungs. Because conditions such as diabetes and hypertension are often more prevalent in the multicultural community, these individuals make up more than 50 percent of those on the national organ transplant list. About Gift of Life Donor Program Since 1974, Gift of Life has coordinated more than 38,000 life-saving organ transplants and over 550,000 tissue transplants. Gift of Life serves as the link between donors and patients awaiting life-saving organ and life-enhancing tissue transplants. Serving nearly 11 million people in the region, Gift of Life’s coordination of over 40 donors-per-million-population ranks among the highest in the world.

Northampton County Historical & Genealogical Society art workshop Series takes inspiration from fashion Submitted by KIM ROSE Taking inspiration from the centuries of fashion now on display at the Sigal Museum in Easton, the Northampton County Historical & Genealogical Society (NCHGS) presents “The Lost Arts of Handicraft,” a series of workshops showcasing historical art found in textile artifacts. The museum exhibition, Eras of Elegance, showcases 35 gowns dating from the 1750s to the 1920s, as well as accessories through the eras. Workshops will highlight the historic costumes and accoutrements on exhibit, while providing demonstration and hands-on activities that cultivate an interest in the “lost art” of creating “functional art” – focusing on those timeless, creative handiwork skills associated with costume-making and historic textile production. Four “Lost Art” Workshops, all to be held at the Sigal Museum, 342 Northampton Street in Easton, have now been announced and registration is open. Registration fees include all materials for the take-home textile project and free Museum admission. Sunday, May 3 at 1 p.m. “Embroidered Scarves” introduces color, depth, and design through embroidery, presented by handiworker Carol Kuhn, $15 registration fee includes project materials. Sunday May 17 at 1 p.m. “Quilts- Memories and Personal Stories” explores art, function, and reflection of the quilter, presented by Fashion Designer Susan Kolar, $20 registration fee includes project materials. Sunday May 24 at 1 p.m. “Knitting for Kids” allows children age six and up to create functional textiles and they will be knitting and purling their own blankets. Presented by knitter Jessica Ytkin, $15 registration fee includes project materials. Sunday, June 7 at 1 p.m. “Fanciful Flowers: Inspired Accessory”, the artistry of fabric flowers is presented by Fashion Designer Susan Kolar, $20 registration fee
includes project materials. To register, call the Sigal Museum at 610-253-1222. Registration closes one week prior to workshop and class sizes are limited to ensure personal instruction. This art workshop series is supported in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
Greater Valley YMCA’s healthy Kids day Submitted by JEAN WEHRIE On Saturday, April 25, the Greater Valley YMCA is holding a free community event to inspire more kids to keep their minds and bodies active. YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day®, the Y’s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families, features activities such as family yoga, family Zumba®, a sampling of youth sports and dance, as well as open swim, to motivate and teach families how to develop a healthy routine at home. All six branches of the Greater Valley YMCA are participating, including the Nazareth YMCA, Slate Belt YMCA, YMCA of Easton, Phillipsburg & Vicinity, Forks YMCA Education Center, Suburban North YMCA and the Bethlehem YMCA. Visit greatervalleyymca.org to download the schedule of activities at each branch. YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, celebrated at nearly 1,300 Ys across the country, aims to get more kids moving and learning so they can keep up the habit all summer long – a critical outof-school time for kids’ health. When kids are out of school, they can face hurdles – or gaps – that prevent them from reaching their full potential, related to hunger, water safety, learning, safe spaces to play, and health. Each year, the Y helps over nine million youths

nationwide “hop the gap” and achieve more, providing a safe place to learn, stay healthy and build friendships. “The Y is so much more than sports, swimming, gymnastics and a place for kids to hang out. We support families in their efforts to instill healthy habits at home,” said Carol McCandless, COO, Greater Valley YMCA. “We know that it can sometimes feel like a challenge. So at Healthy Kids Day, we’ll encourage kids to stay physically and intellectually active all summer long, and give families tips they can easily replicate at home. It’s free and open to the community.” In celebration of YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, the Y offers the following tips to help families develop healthy habits: • Try, try, repeat – There are many great tasting fruits and vegetables that many kids have never heard of, let alone tried. Grab a new fruit or vegetable and encourage everyone in the family to try at least a bite. • Play around town – Challenge the family to play on a different playground every week. Identify playgrounds at a variety of parks; expand definitions of playgrounds to include nature trails, a nearby stream, and a bike path. • Families at play for an hour a day – From walking to gardening, or swimming to shooting hoops, make playful movement a part of your family’s day. To get 60 minutes of moderate activity throughout your day just add 10 minutes here and 15 minutes there. • Foster a passion for reading – Read to and with your kids. Help children read at every age and every stage of their development. • Make sleep a priority – Doctors recommend 10-12 hours of sleep a day for children ages 5-12 and 7-8 hours per night for adults. Sleep plays a critical role in maintaining our healthy immune system, metabolism, mood, memory, learning, and other vital functions.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Wow! What a beautiful weekend we had. It got up in the high 70s on Saturday, and it sure was nice for the kids who went fishing in the Bath Area Fish Committee’s trout contest. They were catching ‘em right and left. Congrats, once again, to the Bath Area Fish Committee for all their hard work. They’ve been at it every year since they were first organized in 1954. . . .Remember a couple weeks ago I asked you to pray for Rev. Harold Henning and Nancy Wagner? They both passed away since then, so we offer our sympathy to their families. Got a note, too, from Carl Reimer I’d like to share with you. Carl says he was saddened to learn that Franklin Wagner (who some know as “Mack”) passed away recently. He and Carl were of the same age. They graduated from the Bath Junior High School in 1938, Principal Phil Bollman’s first graduating class. They then attended Northampton High School and graduated from there in 1941. Franklin was a cornet player in Bill Eberly’s band in those years. Three Reimer boys – Leon, Earl, and Carl – were also members of that band, so Carl has many memories of their playing at various church picnics and also playing their annual concert in the Firemen’s Auditorium. One of Carl’s memories is that Franklin and he played “hooky” one day while they were in high school and drove in his car up to Shamokin to visit Coach Wood Ludwig, the person who years before coached the famous Wonder Team at Northampton. He wasn’t pleased to see that they had left school and he “encouraged” them
to go right back. “What fun”, says Carl. That old Bath “gang” is almost gone. He’s aware only of two others who are still alive, the former Phyllis Diehl and the former Pauline Overcash. Time has taken its toll. . . . Also, remember I didn’t know if they are crows or hawks flying around the Bath Service Center this past winter? I have it from a local game protector that they are crows and turkey vultures. . . . While we enjoyed the warm weather, it was also dry, so somehow or another it sparked forest fires along the Blue Mountain. The same game protector tells me that they’ve tried everything, but haven’t been able to put out the fires. They were hoping we’d get enough rain on Monday to help. It rained pretty hard at night, but barely a drizzle during the day, so it may have helped. Let’s hope so. . . . The Phantoms season is over, and now we can watch those IronPigs. A group of Bathites went over there last week when they had a day game and won, before going on a road trip. . . .Things to do, especially the yard, as Elmira gets a gleam in her eye for spring housecleaning that means windows for me.

With canned food staples like chicken, tuna, beans, beef and salmon in your pantry, a convenient source ofRedWolf-12 protein-rich ingredients is always at your fingertips. That makes it easy to prepare nutritious homemade meals and snacks that will provide long lasting energy to get you through the day. Canned proteins are often preferable to their fresh counterparts because they require little to no preparation and are more accessible. They also contribute two important forms of underconsumed protein sources – legumes and fish.
Because cans seal in foods’ nutrients, freshness and natural goodness, you can feel great about incorporating canned proteins into your favorite salads, casseroles, sandwiches and dishes like Greek Pizza and Tuna Apple Melt. With a well-stocked pantry – or “Cantry” – wholesome, protein-packed meals and snacks the whole family will love are just a can or two away.

highest award that a Scouting District can present was given to Will Schwab and Duane Deitirich. The Owl Award, for outstanding contributions specific to North Valley District was presented to Ann Costenbader, Kirk Decker, Kristoffer Silfies, and Michael Lynn. The Patriot Awards, selected by Cub Packs, Boy Scout Troops, and Venturing Crews to honor their volunteers were presented. In addition to leadership recognitions, 16 year old Joshua Wetherhold, a Star Scout from Bath was presented with a Certificate of Meritorious Action for his selfless and heroic act of com-
ing to the aid of a total stranger. Joshua and his mother Barbara were on their way home from a scout meeting during one of this past winter’s snow storms when a car flipped in front of them and landed upside down in the snowbank. Joshua, knowing he had to do something to help, asked his mother to stop their car. He ran to the vehicle to find the driver trapped in the vehicle, suspended by her seatbelt. Unable to open the door because of the snowbank, this brave young man dug her car door out with his bare hands so that she could escape. Doing so left this young man with frostbite on his hands. All Scouts know and should live according to the Scout Law: “On My Honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” What Joshua did that evening was a sign of Scouting at its very best. To this day, Josh still is unaware of the identity of the woman he came to the aid of.

NAZARETH AREA
“Pieces of History” for April
Celebrating Nazareth’s 275th Anniversary From the history committee: • Friedensthal (“Valley of Peace”) was a small Moravian mill and community located just north of Nazareth where the Buzzi Unicem (Hercules) quarry is now. The sign for the street named in honor of the community was recently misspelled as Friedenstahl (“free steel” in German). • During WWII word would spread up and down Main Street when a shipment of sugar or laundry soap had arrived, and women would grab their ration books and run down South Main Street to the Acme. • “Ye Olde Tory Prison,” a coffee house sponsored by the Nazareth Ministerium for teens and young adults, opened in the base-
ment of the Nazareth Inn (now Nazareth Furniture) in 1968. • The Nazareth News Agency at 143 S. Main Street (later at 60 S. Main) was the place to go on Sunday morning, to pick up your newspaper and chat with neighbors and friends. You could also pick up daily newspapers and magazines there. • From around 1900 to 1913, there were eight large greenhouses on Wood Street on Nazareth’s west end. Because dust from the new cement mills coated the windows, blocking the sunlight, the business abruptly closed. • Before moving out of Nazareth, gun-maker William Henry, Jr. would frequently test the construction of a new piece by going outside next to his shop on S.
Main St. and firing the gun with a triple charge of powder. The neighbors frequently complained to the authorities about the noise. • “I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead. . .” With that line, Robbie Robertson began The Weight, a song recorded in 1968 by The Band. He used “Nazareth” when he saw the label inside his Martin guitar as he was writing the song. • The Army Navy Store and Nazareth Hardware, both in the first block of S. Main St., are the two oldest surviving Main Street businesses, although each has changed owners several times. Both date from the early 1940s. • The Manor House on W. Center Street was erected for Count Zinzendorf, the patron of the Moravians, in 1755 and 1756. The deed to the Nazareth property conveyed the rights of an English barony, so the Moravians built a house for him in Nazareth. • In the 1930s Nazareth had two movie theaters, the Royal Theater at 106 South Main St. and the Broad Street Theater at 28 S. Broad St. You could also watch movies on Saturday afternoon in the Nazareth Y’s auditorium. • Once upon a time, in the late 1930s and early ‘40s, the Nazareth Inn offered fine dining in the second floor dining room on Sundays, with linen tablecloths and napkins and crystal glassware. Now the building is the Nazareth Furniture Store. • In the early 20th century Nazareth saw the founding of two banks. The Nazareth National Bank was founded in 1897, and the Second National Bank of Nazareth was founded in 1901. Both institutions still exist, but under names that no longer include “Nazareth.” • Famous Nazareth Resident: Actress Kate Micucci, Nazareth Class of 1998, seen on television and as part of the musical duo Garfunkel and Oates. • Holy Family school and gym were blessed and dedicated on April 29, 1956. A second floor was added to the school in 1985, thanks in part to a large contribution from the Andretti family.

News Sermonette Pastor Tim Fisher
Greetings in the Lord Jesus who “for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under [the Roman governor] Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is [now] seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.” So the beautiful Nicene Creed succinctly explains God’s work of redemption from Christ’s incarnation in the manger of Christmas through to the central Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Savior summed up in the Cross of Easter and looks beyond to His return as King and Judge in glory. In his book If I Were God I'd End All Pain, John Dickson recalls speaking on the theme "The wounds of God" at a university campus. After his speech, the chairperson asked the audience for questions. Without delay a man in his mid-30s, a Muslim leader at the university, stood up and proceeded to tell the audience how preposterous was the claim that the Creator of the universe would be subjected to the forces of his own creation— that he would have to eat, sleep, and go to the toilet, let alone die

on a cross. Dickson and the man went back and forth for about ten minutes during which the man insisted that the notion of God having wounds—whether physical or emotional—was not only illogical, since the "Creator of Causes" could not possibly be caused pain by a lesser entity, it was outright blasphemy, as stated in the Koran. Dickson later wrote, “I had no knock-down argument, no witty comeback. The debate was probably too amicable for either approach anyway. In the end, I simply thanked him for demonstrating for the audience the radical contrast between the Islamic conception of God and that described in the Bible. What the Muslim denounces as blasphemy the Christian holds as precious: God has wounds.” [John Dickson, If I Were God I'd End All Pain (Mathias Media, 2012), pp. 66-67; submitted by Van Morris, Mt. Washington, KY; Preaching Today.] The Apostle Paul, from whose letters so much of the Nicene Creed is simply quoting, put it this way to the Philippians: “6 Though he was in the form of God, he did not consider being equal with God something to exploit. 7 But he emptied himself by taking the form of a slave and by becoming like human beings. When he found himself in the form of a human, 8he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore, God highly honored him and gave him a name above all names, 10so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth might bow 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Phil. 2:6-11) The difference between Christianity and every other world religion, no matter how much their ethics may be similar, is indeed stark when we consider where we put our faith and hope for facing the future and every turn of life unafraid: it is in the Cross of Christ we glory, the Cross which towers over all the wrecks of time. Yours in Christ, in whom we have the victory!

One Way?
Is there only one way to heaven or are there many ways? Those who pride themselves in their broadminded acceptance of all religions and lifestyles say there are many ways to heaven. But Jesus Christ warns, “wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). Just how narrow is the way? God narrowed it down to one person— Jesus! He exclusively declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). The Apostles affirmed that Jesus is the only way to heaven—excluding all others! “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). The Bible is perfectly clear that there is only “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). See: www.naog.ws/theway.htm for more on this biblical truth. Jesus is God’s free gift of eternal life: “God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:11-12). We all need to confess and repent of our sins: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Receiving Jesus: “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). Life’s most important choice is whether or not you will believe on Jesus! “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36).
