Moore Township St. Paul’s UCC of Northampton Planning Commission Receives special donations Discusses Warehouse Ordinance By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Monday, April 22, the Moore Township Planning Commission discussed a proposed warehouse ordinance that would put “reasonable regulations” on warehouse development. Warehouse development is allowed in the township’s industrial zone and has been for several decades. However, as solicitor David Backenstoe explained, the proposed ordinance will allow for greater protections and regulations “in accordance with the times.” While the ordinance has been in the works for several months, commissioners used Monday’s meeting to tie up discussion in regards to buffering. Chairman John Becker wondered whether buffers should be reduced along roadways so drivers can find and identify buildings. Buffering would still be required on

the remaining three sides of the property. Commissioner Jason Harhart added that buffers should be required along roadways in the case of a residential zone across the street. Attorney Backenstoe advised that it would be better for the commission to require buffers and allow developers to request waivers. The commission recommended that the ordinance go to the township’s Board of Supervisors so that it can be drafted for approval. During the meeting, the Planning Commission also heard the waiver request of Samuel Firmstone. Firmstone is seeking to develop a minor subdivision for his relatives. The plan currently allows for 9,800 square feet of impervious stormwater coverage. At 10,000 square feet, the plan is required to undergo additional LVPC and DEP review. Mike Hahn, representative for Firmstone, said he stands by the plan and does not believe it should undergo additional reviews. He argued that planning for the size of the future homes is a “guessing game.” They can be larger, he said, or smaller than what he calculated in the plan. However, commissioners worried that coverage is too close to 10,000 square feet. This could result in high costs for future residents who would have to undergo the planning process again. Sidewalks, a deck, or a patio could push the coverage over 10,000. Instead of letting the possibility of fines and planning costs fall on future residents, commissioners required that Hahn and Firmstone resubmit the plan as if it allowed for 10,000 square feet. “If you do not do it, you will wish you did,” warned Becker. May’s Planning Commission meeting has been cancelled in observance of Memorial Day. The next meeting will be held on June 24.

Calcium Supplementation What is the first thing that comes to mind when someone says calcium? That would be bone health of course! And while you wouldn’t be wrong, when I think of calcium I think of something vastly different which I will share in the next article. First we need to get the basics out of the way. Calcium is a mineral and as such, it is represented in the body more than all the other minerals combined. Now that’s significant!. Because it is, I am not surprised at all to know that calcium supplements are perhaps the most recommended and top selling mineral supplement. The fact is that you are probably currently taking a calcium based supplement, whether a standalone dose or in combination.
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
Here is what you hope occurs: Take said calcium supplement, have the body digest it, calcium floats around in bloodstream, and ultimately ends up within the matrix of bone so you don’t get osteoporosis. Am I right? Here’s the short of it: All calcium ingested is not absorbed

into the body. Said another way, it is actually quite difficult for the body to assimilate calcium. I wish it wasn’t but it is. At this point you should be thinking if the supplement you’re taking is a waste of not only money, but also losing precious time to keep your bones healthy. I think this may very well be the case. The small intestine is where calcium crosses over and is taken in by the blood and transported to bone and other tissues. The amount of calcium absorbed is dependent on 1) amount of calcium already in the blood, 2) form of calcium taken, and 3) small intestine condition, of which most people’s guts are a mess. Now if you look around you will see that calcium is offered in many supplement forms. The most common is calcium carbonate. The carbonate form is usually manufactured from limestone and requires appropriate Continued on page 4

acid environment to be properly absorbed. It is recommended to take calcium carbonate at the start of a meal in hopes that the normal acidic digestive components aid in absorptive effectiveness. Since, dare I say, most everyone reading this article probably takes a stomach acid reducer, (whether prescription or OTC) the odds of your calcium being fully absorbed is actually quite slim to none. Calcium citrate is another type of supplement I see a lot of. This form is considered for those who have GI concerns as it doesn’t so much require higher level of acids to be absorbed across the gut. Calcium malate is an additional form I see quite regularly as well. I don’t take any of these forms and if I can avoid it, I don’t recommend them to my patients very often. I generally recommend calcium lactate as this form appears to be more easily assimilated from what I have read. Since I work
with those whose gastro intestinal system is usually in some form of distress, I want to make absorption of nutrients as easily as I possibly can. Again, this is very important when it comes to calcium as it may be a little harder to absorb. Now please don’t be fooled by the name. This is vegetarian and a lactose free form. I have been taking calcium lactate form since I’ve been a teenager. Yes, you read that correctly and I’ll cover why in the next article. I’ve specifically have been taking calcium lactate from the company Standard Process;a whole food supplement company. While I have taken calcium lactate from other companies, I prefer this product from Standard Process as it has the proper balance of calcium and magnesium (5:1 ratio) thus making the product slightly acidic for better absorption and assimilation. Many of the SP formulations have a pinch of calcium lactate in it. It’s just that important. Ultimately, you want the end result of any calcium containing food or supplement to be trans-

formed into calcium bicarbonate which is what the body needs and uses in the blood stream and then into the tissues. Now get this, calcium lactate is the form that changes to calcium bicarbonate in one biochemical step. Other calcium sources require up to a dozen steps to finally become the calcium your body can utilize and things can (and do) get messed up along the way! Give this thought until next time. The bottom line, in my humble opinion, is this - switch to calcium lactate. "Natural Perspectives" is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/ or make treatment recommendations.

‘How do I get A grant for That?’ By Frank Brooks,
DCED Administrator One of the best parts of being an administrator for the Northampton County Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) is being able to make positive change and that positive change is often made through grants. Grants are money that governments give to organizations to do something specific to benefit the community: install new picnic tables at a public park, preserve farmland, make a sidewalk handicapped accessible, etc. As I travel around the County, a lot of constituents will approach me with a great idea and ask me how they can make it happen. When I mention our grant programs, a look of panic crosses their face. The County of Northampton gives away a lot of grant money every year, but obtaining one can seem intimidating. Applicants have to describe the nature of the problem they want to tackle, detail their plan, develop a budget, and explain why it would be in the County’s interest to finance the solution. For someone who’s never done that before, submitting an application can be almost paralyzing. For 2019, DCED is projected to have $3.5 million of grant money available to support economic development, encourage community planning and to increase the quality of life for our residents. All we need now are some really great proposals from the people who live in our boroughs, townships and cities. For the second year in a row, County Executive Lamont McClure has put together a NonProfit Grant Writing Seminar. The next one will be held on June 13, 2019 at 8:30 a.m., Alumni Hall, Northampton Community College. The seminar will cover crafting a successful request, organizing a solid budget, and networking to find the best sources of fund-
ing. We are very fortunate to have presenters from DCED, Northampton Community College, the Department of Human Services and Lafayette College. It’s important to train as many people as we can on the application process because, while Northampton County funds local projects, grant money may soon become available on a regional basis. Congressional representatives Matt Cartwright and Susan Wild are working towards Northampton County being included in a region encompassing the Northeast portion of Pennsylvania. This would expand the number of grants an organization could qualify for, putting our area on the same funding table as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Large grants that no one county could absorb could now become regional initiatives. Our area is undergoing tremendous economic growth— a much different situation from twenty-two years ago when Bethlehem Steel closed down. Allentown is now the third largest city in Pennsylvania and the Greater Lehigh Valley ranks as the 65th largest economy in the nation. Northeastern Pennsylvania has become a destination site for world-class conferences and events. We enjoy pristine wilderness areas and miles of unspoiled beauty and soaring vistas. Protecting these lands while developing some into parks and recreational areas will require grants. Providing education, affordable housing and cultural opportunities for County residents are important for our quality of life and these are among Executive McClure’s highest priorities. It’s in everyone’s interest to have as many

non-profits and municipalities trained to write grants and to handle the money properly when they receive it. Grants require effort and dedication, but the benefits they provide to our communities can be priceless. County of Northampton’s Grant Programs Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) are funded with money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These grants assist people with low incomes for help with affordable housing, infrastructure and antipoverty programs. Hotel Tax grants are funded through the County’s tax on Hotels and Airbnb’s. Eligible projects enhance tourism and promote community development within Northampton County. Applicants have to go through a competitive process and the grants are distributed at the discretion of County Council. Community Investment Partnership Program (CIPP) grants are used to improve the quality of life for the County’s older citizens and to create opportunities to stimulate economic development. The funding is obtained by the County’s share of revenue from table games under the PA Race Horse Development and Gaming Act. Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grants are available to non-profits, public agencies, local governments and lowincome housing providers to maintain or increase the availability of quality affordable housing. Funding comes from the State Real Estate transfer tax.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Easter was a beautiful day. Sunny and clear, just right for going to sunrise and regular church services, and for the Easter egg hunts at home afterward. Very little Easter bonnets. It’s not the style anymore. Just Easter finery in clothes. Anyhow, a very satisfying day. . . .Word from the weather folks is that it could get up to 80/81 degrees on Tuesday! Summer already? . . . .Anyhow, kids this is it! The weekend you’ve been waiting for. The Bath Area Fish Committee’s annual fishing contest in the Monocacy Creek in downtown Bath. I wish you good luck in catching some nice big ones, and even some prizewinners. . . Congratulations to the Moore Township Historical Commission in having the Edelman School on the Nation al Register of Historic Places. It’s one of 12 one-room school houses of bygone days that were in this area, and they’ve done a lot to keep its history. . . .Ye Ed got a kick out of Blaine Hoffmeister’s shots of Lew and Katie Schaeffer and their candy store. They were next-door neighbors years ago. Lew had a shop out back where he made the candy. A fine old gent was he. . . . .Hats off to Marvin Werkheiser for collecting 238 pairs of used eye glasses and 22 sunglasses for the Bath Lions, that are being turned in at the district Lions convention this weekend over in Fogelsville, so they can be recycled for the needy . . . .Say, Mary Ann S., what were you saying about Phil Bollman? Ye Ed didn’t catch it. Give him a call. His hearing isn’t what it usta be. . . . . The last of the Floridain-the-winter sojourners should be returning back north soon. They lost two neighbors in one week while they were gone, Irene Holman and Anne Marie Stahovich. . . . .And for you outdoors folks – I see the Moore Township Lions are gonna have a shooting match this Sunday up at Point Phillips , and Bill Goodman from the county Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs is all set for a knife show down at the Chrin Community Center near Easton in the first weekend of May. . . . Aren’t those trees along Main Street in Bath beautiful? They’re loaded with white blossoms. . . . Construction will soon get underway for new condominiums up along 512 in Bath. The bulldozers have been busy clearing the ground.
. . . I hear H. H. is up in arms about a bill he got for salt this past winter. . . . From looking at the State Police reports last week, a lotta folks over in Lehigh County mustn’t have locked their car doors because of all those thefts. A lesson learned. . . . Dang! Those windows are dirty again. Elmira is keeping me busy with the shammy.

My Head Hurts Oh, my head hurts! I fell down and I have a concussion, two black eyes and all kinds of little aches and pains. Many of you might not know but when you have a concussion your life changes drastically because you have to rest your brain. The first night I slept for many hours, I struggled with screen time and bright lights just hurt my brain. So here’s what happened, I had to step back a bit from work, my volunteer work and just listen to the doctor. I learned how much I could do by how my brain reacted. I was able to go to meetings but seriously out of commission for a week or so. I’m pretty much self-employed and my clients were concerned first about my health which was nice to hear. But sometimes that doesn’t happen. What do you do when an employee gets genuinely sick? My friend just started work for a major tourist company and after a few days he found out that if you are absent due to sickness 14 days within a year, even with a doctors excuse, you get fired. I said, “FIRED? That seems a little harsh.” He told me they just had a husband and wife working there and the wife hit the 14 days and she’s gone. So, how do you handle your staff when they get sick? Do you trust them to tell you the truth? Are you empathetic and helpful with the work that needs to get done? Have you set a company culture that truly cares about people? Or do you just punish them for being sick? Another friend of mine was in a car accident almost two years ago and she had a concussion equal to that of an NFL football player. It was bad, she couldn’t work and to this day has still not been released from her doctors. Her business partner came to her and said, “I need a full time partner not a part-time sick partner.” I’m sure there is some law against that but it’s true. As you move forward with your business, think about how you can help when someone gets sick, support them and, most of all, trust them to get back to work as soon as possible. ` Carol serves as a featured writ-

Northampton Borough Council Approves New Off-Street Parking By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Thursday, April 18, Northampton Borough Council approved new off-street parking spots for tenants of 36 East 21st Street. Fourteen feet of curbing and
10 feet of sidewalk on Washington Avenue will be removed and replaced with two off-street parking spots. Three additional spots will be created on the neighboring property. Less than one onstreet parking spot on Washing-
ton Avenue will be lost, while five additional off-street spots will be gained. Council unanimously approved this request, seeing a benefit in opening up more parking on a street that they say is con-
gested. “I am in favor of more offstreet parking,” said Councilman Keith Piescienski. During their meeting, council also passed an ordinance that will amend fines for parking offenses. Currently, parking offenses must go through what Police Chief Bryan Kadingo says is a lengthy state process. This ordinance will also address unregistered, unlicensed, and damaged vehicles left sitting on borough streets. Chief Kadin-

providers. Pennsylvania is home to many wonderful scenic areas, which is a huge draw to people looking to spend time outdoors. Those who are spending time outdoors should wear long sleeve shirts and long pants and use an insect repellent with DEET. After finishing time outdoors, it is important to thoroughly check yourself for ticks, promptly remove any attached ticks and take a shower. Showering will also help any unattached ticks to be washed off. Make sure to change clothes and place worn clothes in the dryer at a high temperature to kill any ticks that might remain. Check pets that spend time outside too. “Just as strong sun and severe weather demand outdoors enthusiasts be cognizant of their surroundings, the spread of ticks and related Lyme disease is important to be aware of and prepared for when heading outdoors or entering our state parks
and forestlands where ticks may be prevalent,” Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn said. “DCNR is committed to educating both our visitors and employees on the best practices, ensuring safe play and work afield.” Many persons with Lyme disease are not aware that a tick has bitten them, since ticks can be very small and hard to see. If a circular rash that looks like a bulls-eye appears, you should consult with a physician, as you may have Lyme disease. However, not all persons with Lyme disease develop a rash. Other symptoms are non-specific and include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle aches and joint pain. If you develop any signs or symptoms of Lyme disease, see your healthcare provider immediately. When detected early, Lyme disease can be easily treated with antibiotics. If untreated, the disease can cause joint swelling, cardiac or neurologic complications, and is more difficult to treat.

The Passover Lamb
In Exodus we read how God delivered the Israelites from Pharaoh’s bondage by sending ten plagues upon the Egyptians. The last one brought death to every Egyptian firstborn son including Pharaoh’s, but God promised to spare the sons of the Israelites if by faith they obeyed His instructions to apply the blood of a Passover lamb on the doorpost of their home. He assured, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you” (Exodus 12:13). God’s qualifications for a Passover lamb required it to be “without blemish (or defect), a male of the first year” (in the prime of its life) and without a broken bone, “neither shall ye break a bone thereof” (Exodus 12:46). The Passover lamb was a type of Jesus Christ as declared in 1 Corinthians 5:7, “Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah 53:7, “He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter.” Jesus alone met all the qualifications for the Passover lamb. 1 Peter 1:19 states that we were redeemed “with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish.” He qualified also being a male in the prime of his life when He died as our sacrifice on the cross with not a broken bone, contrary to the custom of the Romans, and fulfilling the prophecy of Psalm 34:20 “He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.” The Passover Lamb was to be killed “in the evening” (3-5 p.m.). Mark 15:25 says Jesus was crucified at “the third hour” (9 a.m.). Matthew 27:45 states that “from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour” (12 noon to 3 p.m.). Shortly after that, between 3-5 p.m., Jesus died—the exact time the Passover lambs were being sacrificed throughout Israel! Jesus is God’s Passover Lamb! Only His blood applied by faith over the door of our hearts will spare us from the eternal death judgment of God on our sins. Have you applied Christ’s blood by repenting of your sins and accepting forgiveness through His sacrifice? If not, do it now by calling on Him in prayer. -Written By Daniel E. Lundmark

Remaley, with whom she shared 25 loving years of marriage prior to his passing in 2017. Born in Northampton, on June 24, 1953, she was the daughter of the late Carl E. Sr. and Florence E.

Obituary Notice
Sara Siddiqi Inducted into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi
Submitted by MARIA ELSEA Sara Siddiqi of Northampton, Pennsylvania, was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society. Siddiqi was initiated at Pennsylvania State University. Siddiqi is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction. Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the Society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is “To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.”

Backyard Icons
By Charles McIlhaney Jr. The weatherworn old house
stood abandoned with only birds, wasps and mice as its inhabitants. On one side of the overgrown backyard was a withered outhouse. On the other side was a span of sagging washline strung between two bent end posts, com-

plete with a few clothespins and a decrepit wash prop. In my time, outhouses were pretty much out of use; but most every house with a backyard had a permanent standing washline. In these modern times, the convenience of indoor clothes drying units has rendered washlines almost obsolete. Some communities have enacted zoning laws to prohibit them altogether. Oh well, I suppose nobody really wants to see grandpa’s underwear flapping in the breeze. And so, along with outhouses, backyard washlines are fast becoming no more than quaint icons of a forgone era. There was a time with sturdy avail, The washline stood beyond the trees, Pinned full with wind-blown sails, Like a flagship proud upon the sea. Now, but a relic of the past, The slackened line sways with ease, With none but slender shadow cast By a slight and sunlit breeze. And by course of time has aged To a trellis for birds and vines, With clothespins, in tribute to the bygone days, That the old folks left behind.
