Bath Allen Youth Club Kicks off season
By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Borough of Bath’s monthly council meeting on Monday, April 1, Eric Miller of the Bath Allen Youth Club appeared before the board to introduce the new program and kick off its first baseball season. Miller unveiled the program’s new logo on hats for each council member. May 4 will be the baseball program’s Opening Day celebration at Howertown Park. There will be guest speakers, baked goods,
member. Do you recall the first woman to hold a cabinet position? Her name was Francis Perkins. She was born in Boston in 1880 in a family descended from a long line of farmers and craftsmen. The family had strong religious beliefs. A graduate of Mount Holyoke College, she studied economic history and was moved by the book “How the Other Half Lives” written by Jacob Riis. This book exposed the reality of life in New York slums. Francis Perkins volunteered to assist in settlement houses, where she learned about dangerous factory conditions, desperate workers, low wages, workplace injuries and the lack of adequate medical care. Imagine this. She lobbied
In addition to Opening Day, Bath Allen will also be attending an IronPigs game on June 5. Miller said the board is always open to event ideas that simply “let kids be kids.” Mayor Fiorella Mirabito praised Miller and the program’s board. “Thank you for taking the lead,” she said. “Kids need support now more than ever.” In other news, Bath Social Hall president Jimmy Pasquariello appeared before council to present a donation of $500 to the Bath Volunteer Fire Company. The social hall makes this generous donation every year. Finally, members of the Bath View Condominium Association and developers of the project’s latest phase appeared before council to express concerns about 45 reserve parking spots the original developer was supposed to construct. Ordinance requires that there be two parking spots for each unit. However, the requirement was deferred when the original property owner started construction. Only one-and-a-half spots were required during that time, with the borough reserving the right to request that the reserve spots be added. Members of the condo association worried that the costs of the parking maintenance would be a financial burden. Although the project, when completed, will have three individual associations overseen by a master association, the Bath View Condominium Association will be responsible for 46 percent of the cost of maintaining common areas. The project is divided into

raffles, and other activities. “[We have] good things coming,” Miller said. Currently, there are three teams (t-ball, grasshoppers, and knee-high) giving children the chance to get involved at a young age. “What better way to grow a program than from the ground up?” Miller said. There are currently 45 athletes in the program, but Miller said they may add more sports if more children get involved.
Looking by Back Ed Pany Triangle Fire #2
In my last column I remembered a tragic event in American history “the Triangle Waist Co. Fire.” This disaster claimed the lives of 148 garment workers on March 25, 1911 in New York City. I wrote the column as a result of a conversation I had with a lady whose late aunt survived the horrific tragedy. The tragedy would later influence the following: Alfred Emanuel Smith, who would be elected Governor of New York; Robert Wagner of New York, who would sponsor legislation for the welfare and safety of American workers and the Social Security Act; David Dubinsky, who would help organize workers into the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. A young woman who witnessed the tragedy would later become a presidential cabinet
Jason Hadinger and AJ Quileles receive the Medal of Valor.
East Allen volunteer Firefighters honored With Medal of Valor
By KERI LINDENMUTH During the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting on Thursday, March 28, Fire Chief Barry Frantz honored three volunteer firefighters for their bravery during a January 1 fire in Bath. “They performed the job above the call of duty,” he said of volunteer firefighters AJ Quileles and Jason Hadinger, who were present to accept the award. Josh Schmoyer was also honored, but is currently serving in the Marine Corps. During the January 1 fire, four East Allen firefighters responded to the mutual aid call. Together, they helped rescue another firefighter trapped on the building’s third floor.
Frantz awarded Quileles and Hadinger with the Medal of Valor for doing their duty under hazardous conditions and preventing loss of life. “I am glad they are part of our team,” said Frantz. Supervisor Roger Unangst praised the volunteers for the “countless hours” they serve the township. “Thank you for doing what you Continued on page 7

three phases. Phase one, being the condominium, has already been completed. Representatives said they only want the parking they “need” and no more. However, council voiced the concern that when new residents move into the completed phases two and three, there may not be enough parking. Justin Huratiak from Huratiak Homes said the company would be fine adding fourteen reserve spots for phase one and twelve spots for phase two. A deferment was asked for twelve additional spots in phase two and seven remaining spots in phase three. Borough Assistant Solicitor Jamie Kratz said another meeting is needed between developers, engineers, the association, and legal representatives, but that the conversation during the council meeting was a “good start.”

would have to earn respect the hard way by proving she possessed the motivation and ability to get things done. One great accomplishment was to reduce the workweek for women to 48 hours in New York State. In 1933 Perkins became a benchmark for women’s rights when President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed her as secretary of labor, the first woman to hold a cabinet position. The Depression laid the foundation for many American worker benefits, Right to Organize Unions, Social Security with a minimum of $10 a month to a maximum of $85 a month and a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour for workers producing goods for interstate commerce. Perkins believed negotiations and collective bargaining were the tools to be utilized to settle labor disputes. Her tenure as Secretary of Labor ended in 1944, the longest appointed Secretary of Labor in our history. Later, President Truman appointed her to the Civil Service Commission. In the last years of her life, Perkins was a professor of Labor Relations at Cornell University. The life-long fighter for the rights of the American worker died at the age of 85 in 1965. A

Stories From My Heart by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca
The Uninvited Visitor
In the mid- sixties, my cousin LaRue came to live with us after her mother, my aunt Anna, passed. I was excited and could not wait for her to arrive. Mom, Dad and I worked hard to make the two storage rooms over the kitchen into a bedroom for us. The rooms were not much by today’s standards, but were just right for two young teenage girls. Finally, the day arrived, and I don’t remember who was more excited, LaRue or me. As we got to the top of the stairs, I slowly opened the small door and stepped inside. LaRue’s eyes scanned the light tan heavy cardboard ceiling, with wood and cement walls. She walked through the two rooms, glanced at the older windows, one in each room, then looked down at the wide wood floors with worn carpets here and there. LaRue smiled, “ Wow! It’s like we have our own little apartment.” One room became our bedroom, and the other our living room, with a desk for schoolwork, two comfy chairs that Dad bought at an auction, and a small table. We even had a mirror hanging on the wall over the table. And then it happened… It was a cold winter’s night.
Mom had brought in extra blankets; three to be exact. As we finished rolling our hair with hard-pink rollers, snapping pink coverings on each one, we grabbed our blue shower caps with little tiny flowers, covered our heads, jumped into bed, and waited for Mom to cover us to the point of looking like statues. We honestly wondered if we would ever move again! Mom laughed as she left the room. I remember her turning and mentioning that we were a sight for sore eyes. After comparing notes about our day at school, we fell asleep. The next morning, I was the first one up. My cousin rolled over just as I put my housecoat on. I was just about ready to wake her when something caught my eye. I thought I was dreaming, but as I took a second look, I left out a scream that woke LaRue up. She started screaming like a banshee before her feet hit the cold floor. Picture this: two girls, with rollers hanging from their heads, holding each other and screaming at the top of their lungs. Suddenly the small door opened and in walked Mom followed by Dad. Mom said, “Girls, what’s going on?” The only thing we could do was scream as a roller or two flew across the room. We repeatedly pointed to a gray oval shape with a tiny tail and little whiskers. Mom looked at Dad as they both burst into laughter. LaRue had slept on a mouse! After all the excitement died down, Dad removed the mouse, and we vowed never to sleep in that bed again!

do,” he said. In other news, the township has received resident complaints about traffic on Airport Road following the fatal accident at Airport Road and Jade Lane earlier in March. Because Airport Road is a state road, all requests must go through PennDOT. Township engineer James Mi-
lot said that the township has constantly asked PennDOT to reduce speeds on Airport Road. He also said that a signal is unlikely and “would not have changed the outcome” of the accident. He said the township would try re-requesting a speed decrease, citing the accident and State Police report. Supervisor Mark Schwartz encouraged residents to turn any complaints and plate numbers into the State Police.
The PA State Police are actively investigating the small green pick-up truck involved in the incident last Tuesday evening in the Spy Glass Development on Holiday Hill in the Borough of Bath. The older model green pick-up truck was driven by an older white male wearing a baseball cap and had been seen approaching young children. Pennsylvania State Police are requesting assistance on the vehicle plate. If possible, please take down the plate number or even a portion of the number. Please call Trooper Barnosky at Troop M – 610-861-2026 with any information in reference to this investigation.
On March 1, Colonial Regional Police responded to a disturbance at 224 Nazareth Pike. Police were advised hat a female had fled the location after breaking a front glass window, causing damage to the property. The female was identified by a witness as Sarah Sheeto, age 36 of Bethlehem. Sheeto had been previously trespassed by the property owner. The charges will be filed through DJ Capobianco’s office.

Road improvements on agenda for LT Supervisors by JOE KORBA The March 26 meeting of the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors opened with the approval of minutes and bills for the month. The first order of business concerned grants for the intersection of Cherryville Road and Route 248 in the township. There has been an ongoing project to widen the roadway and accommodate the Turkey Hill remodel, the length of which required the township to ask for extensions on the grants for another year. Alice Rehrig, Lehigh Township Manager, said that the Monroe County Gaming Grant could only be extended for one more year and suggested they come up with a plan to get work started while the grant money is secure. One of the major road projects discussed was repairs on West Mountain View Drive in
the Berlinsville area. Three options were presented by Rehrig that included chip and slurry seal for $31,000, Nova chip, a thin friction sheet that will seal the road, for $19,512, or a one and half inch overlay that is the most permanent fix, but also the mostly costly at $172,000. The money would come from a budget surplus. “Being that it is a main road, I would rather do this the right way rather than tar and chip,” Supervisor Phil Gogel said. Ultimately, the board decided to wait until next meeting to get the opinion of Public Works Director Franklin Zamadics. Updating the current outdated sound system in the municipal building meeting room was discussed after some of the supervisors and people in attendance complained that they couldn’t hear from the back of the room. Chairman Daryl Snover jokingly

notorious sleigh riding hill has been left unused for many years and has fallen to disrepair and vandalism. The facility was built in an era when the people of the community would walk to the park with lawn chairs and blankets to see various events held outside. Since its creation, the town's population has increased significantly and the park has been renovated to keep up with the city's evolving needs. The newer grandstand with a covered stage and bench seating is located by the pool and is the structure that is now used primarily for outdoor events, leading the council members to question what the next purpose, if any, the older building will have. The council voted on Monday night to approve signage for their meeting place. The historic building, located at Church and Center Streets, has no physical address or identifying markers, making it difficult not only for townspeople to locate, but visi-
tors as well. Council decided it was time to adorn their meeting place with a placard, distinguishing it as the official Nazareth City Council Chambers. The sign is being designed by local artist and business owner, Jason Nale. Nale, who has been in business since 2005, is the proprietor of the Nazareth Sign Company, located at 6 S. Broad St., and has done numerous projects for the city previously. Council will be seeking grant money to assist with the cost of a new covered pavilion to be built in the borough park next year. The new structure will have electric power and bathrooms and will be an added feature to the popular recreation area. Council members have also decided to pursue grant money for additional flashing speed signs for heavily traveled Nazareth area roads. The Chief of Police, Randall Miller, explained that having the signs will not only assist with safer driving speeds, but will relieve them of having to post officers at such locations.

Pastor Lundmark – Home in Heaven
Early Sunday morning, March 31, 2019, Pastor Daniel Lundmark entered into the joys of Heaven. After God transformed his life at 15 years of age, he was passionate in living for God, and the focus of his life was living for eternity. He is now experiencing the things that God has prepared for those who love Him. (I Corinthians 2:9) During the past three weeks of his failing health, Pastor Lundmark’s sister-in-law, Grace Lundmark, encouraged us with the following thoughts: Jesus made an interesting statement, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (John 8:51) Although the last part of the sentence grasps our attention, the key is in the first part, “If a man keep my saying(s)…” Taking the words of Jesus to heart and living by them gives the believer the promise of never perceiving death in the same way as an unbeliever. We read of a man named Stephen in the seventh chapter of Acts, who was a godly man and preached an uncompromising Word of God to mockers who decided to stone him to death. As he was dying from the stoning, he confessed, “Behold, I SEE the heavens opened, and the Son of man, (Jesus) standing on the right hand of God.” Stephen, the martyr, wasn’t seeing “death” he was SEEING JESUS! We might ask ourselves about the contrast of Stephen’s words, and the words which Jesus cried out in agony as He hung on the cross, before Stephen’s time, “My God, My God, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?” (Mark 15:34) As Jesus hung on the cross He was bearing the sins of all mankind. As the writer put it in Hebrews 2: 9: “…we SEE Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” ~~ Grace Lundmark How wonderful to know that Jesus died for us—taking the punishment of our sins—so that if we will turn from sin and believe in Him as Savior, we will not be separated from Him when we die, but we will SEE JESUS and be with Him for ever!

Submitted by DAVID BOWER Memories of Our Fallen was developed as a means to give back to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. As an occupational therapy assistant, I have treated many veterans and heard many of their stories. I’m also the son of a firefighter so I personally understand the sacrifices that are made each day by those protecting us. I wanted to find a way to give back and with that, Memories of Our Fallen was created. Through this program, I have met some great people. Being able to help a family remember their loved one is a great gift. Through Memories of Our Fallen, the family of any fallen service member or EMS killed in the line of duty is eligible for a free video memorial of their loved one. I also post the video online with a bio of their loved one as a way for other family members and friends to continue to remember the fallen. Visit www.memorabledvd.com/memoriesofourfallen to get started, or you can reach out me, David Bower, at 484-335-3799 or at info@memorabledvd. com with any questions.

Attorney General Shapiro warns Consumers to Be aware of ‘We Buy Homes’ scam
Submitted by JOE GRACE Attorney General Shapiro is warning Pennsylvanians to be aware of deceptive advertising by businesses posting “We Buy Homes” signs on street corners. The signs are often a scam—looking to take advantage of Pennsylvanians suffering from debt, job loss, or other significant life changes and looking to make some fast money. Businesses behind the “We Buy Houses” signs typically offer to purchase a consumer’s home for less than actual value, and the “Cash for Homes” scams can take two different forms. One targets those who are trying to avoid foreclosure. The buyer may promise relief from foreclosure, but will then take the deed without paying off the mortgage balance, leaving the home-seller ultimately responsible for the monthly payments and subject to foreclosure. Another scam is when the buyer lures sellers in with promises to take the house “as is,” allowing the seller to avoid having to make repairs. However, the buyer will sometimes back away from that promise and demand certain repairs to their satisfaction before accepting a deed, leaving the seller footing the bill of the repairs after all. “Pennsylvanians must be aware of scammers looking to take advantage of consumers looking to make money quickly to pay off debts or other expenses,” said Attorney General Josh Shapiro. “Signs offering to buy homes for cash are multiplying weekly on busy street corners, but these kinds of transactions are often scams that leave homeowners in even worse financial shape than they were before. These scammers are attempting to exploit Pennsylvanians in vulnerable financial situations, and my Bureau of Consumer Protection isn’t buying it.” Attorney General Shapiro’s Bureau of Consumer Protection enforces the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law against unscrupulous buyers taking advantage of Pennsylvanians. The Bureau encourages real estate consumers selling their homes to consider: Home Appraisal – Obtain an appraisal to know the market value of your home. Independent Professional Advice – Seek real estate legal advice to evaluate key terms of a “Cash for Homes” real estate contract. If you believe you’ve been a victim of a “We Buy Homes” scam, you are encouraged to file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection by visiting www.attorneygeneral. gov or by calling 800-441-2555 or sending an email to scams@attorneygeneral.gov.
