Cub Scout Pack 33 Benefit Pancake Breakfast

50 cents

Northampton Borough Council approves Extension for Tama Building renovations Playing the

By JUSTIN SWEITZER Northampton Borough Council approved an extension for renovations to be made at the site of the former Tama building at 1796 Main Street at their April 20 meeting.

----------------------I’m in this to get this thing done. I didn’t come six and a half years to walk away from this. I’m invested in this 100 percent.

Dan Donnelly

Cub Scout Wyatt Hartenstine is shown serving breakfast to Sterling Heckman. He performed double duty over the weekend, singing on Sunday morning worship.

Mothers of Cub Scout Pack 33 prepared pancakes with all the trimmings – scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and homefries – while the boys took care of serving people at Saturday morning’s breakfast in Christ U.C.C.

----------------------Dan Donnelly, the owner of Windward Pass Holdings, LLC, came before council seeking a one-year extension to his current approval to develop the property, which ends on May 2, 2017. Under the new extension, which was passed by council, Donnelly will now have until May 31, 2018 to complete the proposed 13-unit apartment building, and will be required to give quarterly updates on construction progress.

“That building has been an eyesore for many years,” said Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr., who asked Donnelly if there were any financial pockets that could delay or cease further development.

Councilman Tony Pristash asked why the property had not been developed further in the six and a half years it had been owned by Donnelly.

“What prevented it from being done at this point?” Pristash asked.

Donnelly said that committed builders had backed out at the last minute multiple times, stalling the project and its progress.

He said he remains confident in his current builder, and was adamant that the project will be completed.

“I’m in this to get this thing done,” Donnelly said. “I didn’t come six and a half years to walk away from this. I’m invested in this 100 percent.”

Councilman Edward Pany said the repurposing of the building into an apartment complex would be an asset to the community. He expressed confidence in Donnelly’s ability to see the project through.

“Speaking for myself, I want that building to be renovated. I want that building to be saved, because I just detest vacant buildings,” Pany said.

Ultimately, all council members voted in favor of the extension except for Councilwoman Judy Kutzler. Kutzler expressed reservations, as she noted that Donnelly’s current builder could back out just as previous builders had under Donnelly.

In other business, Councilman Robert Coleman, who was not present at the meeting, submitted his letter of resignation as a borough council member due to health concerns. Members on council moved to accept his resignation, and voiced their hopes to honor Coleman for his service on council at an upcoming meeting.

Grow UR Biz

successful speaker.

by CAROL RITTER

Nine ways To face your Fear of public Speaking I recently read an article about the top ten fears in America.

Guess what is number one? You got it…public speaking, followed by heights, (my personal fear), bugs, financial problems, deep water, sickness, death, flying, loneliness and, last but not least, dogs.

Entrepreneurs who understand networking and how to market business know there are certain “must do’s” to grow your business. One “must do” is speaking in public, getting your face out there, letting people know who you are and what service or product you represent and your trustworthiness. Well, if speaking in public is the number one fear of Americans, it would make sense to me that a ton of entrepreneurs have that fear.

It’s time to face fear head on.

I mentioned that I have a fear of heights especially, when I get inside a huge arena or stadium.

Many years ago I bought tickets to a Phil Collins concert and purposely asked where the seats were located. They lied to me and said they were not high. Seriously, I could have touched the ceiling in the Comcast arena in Philadelphia. When I arrived, the panic began and I had to leave, I felt like I was falling. I went to the ticket booth for a refund and they pleaded innocent because an-other company sold me the ticket.

5.

Use the Internet to learn more about speaking.

6.

Give something away whether it be a bounce back coupon or a sample.

7.

If you make a mistake, apologize and then be willing to laugh at yourself.

8.

Get rid of any perfection expectations, no such thing as perfect when you are in front of an audience.

So I walked around for the entire concert. This was no less than 20 years ago and since then I have made attempts to conquer this fear. I go to Broadway shows and can sit in the mezzanine, I went to the Grand Ole Opry, however didn’t do so well there. I’ve even sat in the high seats in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Have I conquered the fear?

Not completely, but I have made important strides to face the fear head on.

How about you? Do you have a fear of public speaking (one of the best ways to promote you biz)? If so, here are some strategies to overcome, face it head on and take your business to a new level.

I have used these strategies with my clients for many years.

1.

Be yourself - don’t try to imitate another speaker - if you are funny, be funny.

2.

Prepare, prepare, prepare - head into your speech with confidence.

3.

Know your audience - it’s all about them, not about you (audiences have personalities).

9.

Evaluate yourself: what did I do right, what can I do better and move on, don’t beat yourself up, practice makes permanent…

Facing your fears head on isn’t always easy but can be a very rewarding experience. And, as always, if at first you don’t succeed, try try again.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The weather was cloudy with a few sprinkles on Saturday and really nice on Sunday, so the kids had a great time at the annual trout fishing contest here in Bath.

Some of the youngsters caught their limit in the first hour ‘cause those trout were swimming all over the place and finding themselves on a kid’s hook in short order they were so hungry. The Bath Area Fish Committee does a great job every year, stocking the Monocacy Creek and making sure there are plenty of fish to catch. So count another contest a complete success!! . . . . Congrats to the Christ U.C. C. dart baseball team for taking second place this year in the dart league. They held first place for a long time, but Salem Lutheran of Bethlehem kept on pecking away and finally won the championship. None other than the Lutheran team in Bath knocked off the U.C.C. players from town. I had a feeling it might happen, but anyhow, a Bath team will win a trophy this year. Hats off for a great season, gang . . . . Congratulations also to all the local TPA Altruism Award winners shown in last week’s paper. The TPA leader from the Bath area does a wonderful job organizing it, and honoring the students who deserve the awards. . . .Nice crowd at the Cub Scout Pack 33 pancake breakfast on Saturday morning. It was a good meal . . . . Enjoyed seeing the Myrtle Beach golf course on TV over the weekend. There were 40 from the Bath Legion who traveled down to South Carolina this year for a few days of golf. We’re lucky to have such fine courses in and around Bath – Whitetail, Southmoore and Willowbrook between Northampton and Catty. Now that the league bowlers have put aside their bowling balls for a while, many of the Legionnaires are out on the golf course on a regular basis. I quit playing

years ago when I developed bursitis for my bad golf swings. . . . I’m glad that the police caught those youths who slashed tires on 17 cars in town earlier this month.

That’s something that they do down in Philly, not around Bath, a town where people don’t vandalize or cause trouble like that.

They need some discipline. Put ‘em in the Marines! That would straighten ‘em out. Right, Tom? . . . . Somebody from Whitehall won $300 in a home run payoff when Hernandez homered for the Phillies the other day. Three back-to-back home runs in one inning and the Atlanta Braves were swept. Wow! . . . . Elmira has some windows for me to clean. It’s spring house-cleaning time! So I gotta go.

DARTBALL Salem Lutheran Of Bethlehem Captures Dartball Championship Salem Lutheran of Bethlehem, with a three-game sweep of Messiah Lutheran in Bethlehem, has won the 2016-2017 championship in the Suburban InterChurch Dart Baseball League.

For Messiah, Andy Mickelson went 6 for 13; Rich Hasonich, 4 for 12; Chris Knauss, 4 for 13, and Dave Casey with a home run.

Time

Time: a system of measuring or reckoning the passage of time.

Every one of us has twentyfour hours, 365 days per year in which we will sleep, work, eat,

bathe, shop and play. Time, like money, is what we make it. We are rich in time, but we don’t take responsibility for how we spend it.

Time can fly by, or time can drag on. When we were young, 24 hours was just not enough time to accomplish all the things we had to do. When we were having fun and enjoying the ride, time passed too quickly. As children, busy with our schoolwork and social activities, time seemed to go by quickly. When I was 10, I wished I were 16 so I could get my driver’s license. When I was 16, I couldn't wait till I was 18.

I would be so grown up. When I was 18, I wanted to be 21 in order to vote.

As we mature and become responsible adults, time takes on even more importance. Our job takes most of our time and energy. There are the duties and chores of running a household.

There is never enough time to “do it all” and still keep our sanity. On the other hand, time seems to drag when we are waiting in the doctor’s office or sitting in the dentist’s chair. The last two hours of our work shift seem to drag on and on.

When we retire from our job after 35 or 40 years, time is heavy on our hands, unless we have a hobby or other interests to keep us occupied. We read the morning paper twice to check what we might have missed. We check the obituaries to see if any of our friends have passed on. We watch for the mail carrier to see if he has brought us good news.

Perhaps we shall receive a card from a grandchild, or a letter from an old friend. The arrival of the mail becomes the high point of our day.

We watch television more often for something to do. We sit on the front porch in our rocking chair, watching the traffic and people hurrying about their business. Where are they going in such a hurry?

We take a nap or play cards with friends to while away a few hours. For folks resigned to nursing homes and elder care facilities, time is heavy on their hands. They wait for relatives and friends to visit. They wait for the next meal. They wait for the mail to bring good news.

Time is precious…don't wish it away…don't waste it. It can never be retrieved. Once spent, time can never be recaptured.

Nazareth-Bath Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner And Award Ceremony Submitted by BETTY FIELDS An evening of fun, friendship, fancy dress and fantastic food was enjoyed at The Nazareth-Bath Regional Chamber of Commerce Dinner, held on April 8 at the beautiful Shawnee Inn on the Delaware.

Tina Smith, president of the Chamber, once again proved her love and loyalty to everyone, small and large businesses, and social members.

To start the evening, each guest was given $1,000 (funny money) to try their luck at games, cards, and horse races. The more “money” you won, the better your chances were for your ticket to be drawn for an awesome array of prizes donated by business members. After a delicious dinner and dessert, the prizes were awarded to the lucky winners.

The award ceremony then ensued – Wind Gap Chevy-Buick Dealership was awarded the prestigious Award of Excellence. Lane Rundle was awarded Volunteer of the Year (in memory of Howie Delbert, deceased board member in 2016), for his dedicated service to the Chamber. Nancy Mertz was the recipient of the Spirit of Nazareth Award (in memory of Ann Andes, deceased executive board member in 2017).

Bath Borough was well represented with council members and their spouses. Cynthia Anderson, Bath liaison to the Chamber, presented the Volunteer of the Year Award to Fire Chief Emilio DeNisi, recognizing his contribution to Bath Borough.

Each recipient was presented with a beautiful Certificate of Appreciation from U.S. Rep. Marcia Hahn and Sen. Mario Scavallo.

Lance Calandra, chairman of the board, recognized Tina Smith for her devotion and competence as president of the Chamber. She Continued on page 8

Despite cloudy skies with spotty showers now and then, hundreds of youngsters ages zero to 15 lined the banks of the Monocacy Creek on Saturday.

It was the Bath Area Fish Committee’s annual trout fishing contest.

Beginning at 8 a.m., they were ready with bait and hook, making their way along the rough embankments with its tall trees and sprouting leaves.

The trout, stocked late Friday afternoon by the committee of volunteers, were hungry and in short order many of the youngsters with their parents or siblings had caught their limit of four trout. If they were lucky, the trout they caught had a special tag attached, and it meant they were one of the grand prize winners.

Sunday, until 3 in the afternoon, was the second day of the tournament, and the weather was a welcome change, bright and sunny. Nevertheless, many of the youngsters still were dressed warmly, while some shed their heavy clothing and concentrated on attracting the trout that were left over from Saturday’s big push.

The committee thanks the youngsters who participated, and especially those who respected the land and waters by refraining from carelessly discarding litter.

The Truly Heroic Rescue

The jump began as a routine skydiving exercise, but within seconds sky diver Gregory Robertson saw that fellow parachutist Debbie Williams was in big trouble. Instead of “floating” in the proper stretched-out position she was tumbling like a rag doll. In attempting to join other divers in a handholding ring formation, she had slammed into the backpack of another chutist, and was knocked unconscious!

From his instructor’s position 40 feet above the divers, Robertson reacted with instincts that had been honed by 1,700 jumps. He straightened into a vertical dart, arms pinned to his body, ankles crossed, head aimed at the ground in a 200 mph “no-lift” dive and caught up with Williams about ten seconds before impact. He angled the unconscious sky diver so her chute could open readily and yanked the rip cord on her emergency chute before pulling his own rip cord just six seconds before he would have slammed into the ground.

Robertson’s daring rescue is worthy of admiration because he sacrificed his own safety to save another. Such is the character of a genuine hero and true love. Jesus Christ said it this way, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). But Robertson’s heroic rescue, as admirable as it is, was for a friend, a fellow sky diver—not an enemy. This is where God’s love is greater! The Bible says, “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:7-8). Yes, Jesus Christ made the truly heroic rescue in that He sacrificially died for sinners, the enemies of God hopelessly headed to eternal death, that those who receive Him might have eternal life (see John 1:12).

1st Turkey Hunt Success

Bath Trout Fishing contest

One family stayed put and cast their lines in the same spot just north of a small bridge. At one point two trout were caught together on opposite sides of the creek and fought wildly to try to free themselves of the hooks.

On April 22, Zachary Hartzell, age seven, had his first successful turkey hunt. Pictured are Zachary and his father Matt Hartzell. The turkey was called in by local legend, Ed Tretiak.
