The Home News Addition to fire Station dedicated In Northampton By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
A 4,000 square foot addition to the Northampton Fire Department’s facilities on Lerchenmiller Drive was dedicated in a ceremony Saturday morning. A 2013 Northampton County bond issue made it possible for Northampton Borough Council to approve the addition, built at a cost of $500,000. Several persons had remarks during the ceremony inside the addition. Mayor Thomas Reenock recognized the professional skill and education of the firefighters who serve the residents of Northampton. He thanked members of Council and the late Frank Horvath who owned the land on which it was built, culminating a dream that began in 1994. Council President John Yurish expressed pride in the borough and the fire department, and the dedication of its personnel. Robert Meteff, Director of Emergency Services for Northampton County, remarked about the three individual departments of the past that became one. He asserted people make up the community, and this building is filled with those who make the apparatus work. State Representative Julie Harhart presented a citation and remarked about the commitment and passion of the firefighters who put their lives on the line each and every day at Station 42. Fire Chief Robert Solderich introduced the firefighters who were able to make fit rom his 45-person company, noting that a number could not attend because of work or being on vacation. Having served as chief for 10 years, Solderich said he is glad that in that time there were no serious injuries or deaths from

Rental properties, Creek Rd. Concerns addressed in Bath By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Although only on the agenda for Monday night discussion, a rental property registration/inspection program drew concerns from the audience that Bath Borough Council will eventually enact an ordinance certifying the program, in which all the details are not as yet known. A large number of Creek Road residents were also present, wondering what will be done in a paving project at Creek Rd. and Century Dr. Joe Tavianini, owner of a number of properties in Bath, questioned if there is any paper work involving the rental properties. He said he can’t discuss anything without something to go on. A short time later, a 14-page research report from the Rental Property Inspection Committee of Borough Council was passed out to the audience. Council President Robert
Fields and Councilwoman Michele Ehrgott emphasized to Tavianini and others in the audience that Council is looking for input. Councilman Mark Saginario added that there would be no vote for some time. A resident, James Skamielawski, alleged that there are problems over in Old Forge, some of whom are welfare recipients. A woman asked if there is spot-checking. Saginario explained some of the reasoning behind checking on residential housing. “There are no specifics yet, we’re just getting ideas,” he said. The Borough has a property maintenance program already in place. Saginario added, “We want to start somewhere, not so much though that it can’t be controlled.” Borough Manager Tom Petrucci said the Borough is looking for feedback. Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts noted that Petrucci
has checked other municipalities – boroughs and cities – on what programs they have in place that concern rentals and owner occupied dwellings. Petrucci said data collected from other municipalities should provide some guidance on how they want to go. Tavianini countered, “We have enough ordinances that we can’t enforce.” Again, Fields said, “Council has been updating ordinances, and all they are doing now is gathering facts.” Tavianini accused the Borough of not being able to take care of its own properties. Mrs. Roberts noted that some property owners have complained about neighbor tenants. The research report that was handed out has “many pros and cons in it that need to be examined,” Council-

the fires they fought. He called all the equipment they have “a miracle.” Councilman Anthony Pristash said, “The building has no soul until these men put it to work. Men and women like them dedicate their lives to saving life and property. We need to continue to support them.” Borough Manager Gene
Zarayko said the addition is a payback from the citizens for the good work of the firefighters. Then followed a symbolic ribbon cutting. History of Department Ever since Siegfried Vol. Fire Co. #1 was recognized by Borough Council in 1902, Northampton has benefited from the community pride and spirit of dedicated men and women volunteers. Once operating as three separate fire companies – First Ward Fire Co., Central Fire Co.
www.HomeNewsPA.com
and Alliance Fire Co. – they merged as of January 1, 1996. The first Northampton Fire Department station was built in 1994, but not dedicated until two years later with the merger. It is located next to the new building.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – To Fest or Not to Fest
By CAROL RITTER
To fest or not to fest. This week is Musikfest and I’ve never missed one. I have enjoyed 31 years of fun, food, and most of all, more music in one week than you could ever imagine.
When my children were young we would pack a cooler and literally stay all day, from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. Traveling from platz to platz, we looked at the value of exposing them to so many kinds of music. This genius idea has changed how the Lehigh Valley is viewed and today millions of people travel from all over the country to experience Musikfest. Did you know that the festival has a clean team? A close friend of mine used to be on it. They are responsible for emptying the trash, cleaning the tables, and making every attempt to make the festival a
great environment for you and your family. If you walk down the streets in Bethlehem early in the morning the streets are pristine after a night of music. How about your business? Do you pay any attention to cleanliness? Many of your customers are watching. Here are some things I’ve noticed over the years that aren’t so pristine. Bathrooms - a mess or not clean Employees with food on their clothes Sloppy waiting rooms Towels not washed in decades Stagnant smell when you walk in Dead bugs in the window sills Employees who look disheveled And, my new all time favorite, a food handler with
rubber gloves on texting on a dirty phone, there must be a law against that! Keep cleanliness on the top of your list. When customers knock on your door they do pay attention. The question - to fest or not to fest, there is still time left to enjoy the sweet smell of roasted almonds, the amazing taste of Aw Shucks corn, mango shrimp or maybe a front row seat at the best music in town. If you go, make sure you thank the Street Clean Team for helping to keep the Lehigh Valley clean! Carol S.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip It’s hard to believe how fast the year flies, but here we are in August already. It won’t be long before Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Phew! Mind boggling. . . . It’s been kinda quiet in our old berg, as lots of folks are spending time down in Bethlehem all this week for Musikfest. After all the walking they’re doing, I’m sure they’re racked out at the end of each day. But at least while they’re there they can listen to all kinds of music and enjoy a bratwurst or two with a brew. . . .Glad to see that John Muscler was featured in a story about his collecting Musikfest mugs all the years of the festival. He has a barbershop over in Nazareth, and his dad, the late Chris Muscler, had one in Bath on Chestnut St. He went on with the trade. . . . Also happy to see Walter and Phyllis Hilberg Henshue, who are on a summertime visit with their “kids”, coming from the Lone Star State of Texas to the Keystone State of Pennsylvania. They’re celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. Wow! Good for them! Phyllis usta have a real estate business over in Nazareth, I believe. Enjoy your visit! . . . . Haven’t kept up with the Blue Mountain Baseball League, but I see Northampton has been the top-rated team. Hope they con-
tinue to do well in the playoffs. Bath usta have a good team in that league years ago, and Ciff Cowling made sure he kept the grounds nice for their games and Bill Santo worked hard for the team. Can’t remember all the names of players, but they did okay. Maybe one of the oldtimers who are left will fill me in so we can stir some more memories around here. That’s what keeps us going, remembering the good old days . . . . I like that Farmer John that stands on the corner of Green & Race Sts. for the local farmers market. Great art work! . . . . Latest word is that the state highway department is gonna do South Chestnut Street re-paving in September. . . .I see the house that had the fire down there is being torn down. . . . Pfloundering Phillies are continuing their ups and downs, same guys, not much change. Ye Ed’s kin in Atlanta are not very happy with their team right now either. Oh well, that’s baseball. . . . Nice to see that we’ve had green grass this summer, not the parched kind, but I did take notice there are some leaves hitting the ground already. . . . Wheat fields are being harvested, and soon will come the field corn. . . . Mark Saginariuo likes the 90’s, I’ll take the 70’s and 80’s. Anyhow, he’s happy. Have a great week, gang!

said. Saginario said that the report put out on Friday is a “learning experience.” Noting that the program may not necessarily become an ordinance, Mrs. Roberts said that a proposed dumpster ordinance was tabled after concerns were voiced by businesses. “We’re trying to do one thing at a time,” said Councilwoman Jennifer George. She added that when Solicitor Blake Marles was asked his opinion, he advised that the borough can’t be too invasive, that privacy has to be respected, and that Council should tread lightly. Petrucci said that it could be 2 to 3 years until the program is examined in all the proper channels. Mrs. Roberts concluded the discussion, saying that the committee is trying to find a balance on rental properties and whether or not they should be regulated. Creek Road Skamielawski, a nine-year resident of Creek Road, complained about 45 MPH drivers at the top of the hill and off of Rt. 987. He said there should be speed bumps on both sides of the road. However, Petrucci said bumps are no longer legal, but the horizontal deflections of islands and speed humps that are 12-ft. long and curb to curb are. The state recognized that bumps slow down emergency responders. Fields said a stop sign at Old Forge Drive would be better than an island. A woman added that there should be a camera at the stop sign to catch people violating it. Some of the residents wanted the island, others not so because it would mean all the turning to get around them, especially if in front of driveways. In the end, Council approved two humps because of the grade, and a stop sign. The Borough had received a $175,000 CDBG grant for the construction, and since the contractor’s bid came in at $154,000 there is some money for change orders. The residents in that area also complained of trash thrown around the neighborhood, a lot of it by youngsters who are not supervised by parents. Editor Honored At the beginning of the meeting, this writer was honored for his 65 years as editor of The Home News and his new position as editor emeritus. State Rep. Marcia Hahn read a House of Representatives citation and Council President Field presented a plaque, all honoring this writer. I said it has been a privilege to cover news from the area all these years, something I enjoyed doing. Thanks to Rep. Hahn, the Borough Council and Mayor Mirabito for the recognition. Other Matters • An ordinance was passed designating a handicapped parking zone at 130 Old Forge Drive. • Council voted to pay J. C. Sons Excavating $39,006.50 for Wunderler’s Way reconstruction. • A resolution appointed Petrucci as alternate property maintenance code enforcement officer for the Borough, concerning routine violations.
• The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission will have a 12-year transportation plan at the end of the year, which will include projects in Bath. • On November 14 the Nazareth – Bath Area Chamber of Commerce will meet in Bath with local business people to discuss potential signature events in Bath, such as “Martin on Main”, which was held this past weekend in Nazareth. • Authorization was given for Bath fire police to assist at the upcoming air show at Lehigh Valley International Airport. It was a request from Hanover Twsp., Lehigh County. • A community yard sale will be held on Sept. 6, with the $5 fee waived. • The completed Keystone Park pavilion and pole building, that was erected after the first one was destroyed by a hurricane, will be dedicated at a special public ceremony on Bath Community Day, Oct. 4. • It was announced that the Bath Area food Bank is in great need of non-perishable food items as well as cash for the families who are hard-pressed at this time. See Marjorie Rehrig or Jeannie Judd-Wagner to donate. • Michele Ehrgott volunteered to represent Bath on the Nazareth Area Council of Governments at their meetings. • Council will accept the $7,500 ESSA Bank & Trust Foundation grant for play-
www.HomeNewsPA.com ground equipment, but pay only a small pass through fee to LVCC since they’ve only had six- months of service. • Council had a discussion on pulling weeds and caring for flowers around the borough, possibly getting young volunteers, since it would take too much time away from the public works crew. Councilwoman George, chairperson of the Parks & Rcereation Committee, suggested hiring some people and Councilwoman Heckman added that mulch should be put in for edging in the spring and then plant perennial flowers. High school seniors could have it as a project was one idea. • Mrs. George also reported four American flags taken from in front of her business, as well as many flags taken away at local cemeteries. • A resident suggested white lines be painted so beginner drivers could learn how to back up. But he realized it is an insurance problem. • Once set for July, PennDOT now has scheduled S. Chestnut St. for re-paving in September. • July report of the Bath Vol. Fire Fighters & Ambulance Corps showed: 7 fire calls (6 in Bath, 1 in Moore Twsp.) requiring 33 man-hours. Otherwise, EMS calls, 12 man-hours; drills, 114; administration, 220; equipment repairs, 28; meetings, 35; work detail, 63; fire police, 7.

Chestnut St. Reithoffer Shows from central Pennsylvania will put on the carnival with a ferris wheel, rides, and games. Borough Manager Tom Petrucci said the shows have a 118year history, with good policies by their management. While they will provide traffic control, two CRPD officers will also be on duty there. No alcohol will be allowed, and Reithoffer has $5-million in liability coverage. The Borough will receive 20% of the revenue made at the show. Hopefully, there will be no rain, but if ruts are made in the field, they will be repaired by the Bath public works crew.

important questions we should be talking to our parents about and even thinking about ourselves. From a legal and financial standpoint it is important to have a durable power of attorney in case one is either physically or mentally incapacitated. There is also the need for a will or living trust. Often parents and even younger people do not want to talk about these things until it is too late. Many parents may have these items done but it is also important to know where this paperwork and all other important papers are. Having them hidden where no one can find them will not help when an emergency arises. Documents should be kept
current and readably available to those family members that need to find them. Another important point for all of us is to have our medications written down and to have a general understanding of what they are for. In an emergency knowing a loved one’s conditions and medications will save time and potentially, a life. Our parents should also consider having an advance health directive to indicate their end-of-life care choices. This does not mean they will pass anytime soon, it just means they are prepared when the time comes. Even the Boy Scouts teach this. What is good at the start of our lives will also serve us well in our later years.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Phase 1 of Northampton Area Public Library Landscape Refurbishment set to begin this week
By ALICE WANAMAKER, photo courtesy of JENN STUMER
Appalachian Creations Inc. will begin sprucing up the landscaping surrounding the Northampton Area Public Library this Friday, August 8, weather permitting. The project is being spearheaded by Appalachian Creations of Northampton. Their plan is to refurbish the outside to make it more management for the volunteers “Friends of the Northampton Area Public Library” to maintain the landscaping. Jenn Stumer, owner of Appalachian Creations Inc. said this is a small way her company can give back. “As our business is located in Northampton, I have driven past the Library many times over the years and felt that the landscape could be updated – made simpler and easier to maintain. I approached the Library in early Spring to broach the subject of the landscape refurbishment as a community project. We volunteered our services and opened the project up to other businesses in the area so that they could also take part. Whether it was monetary, materials, plants or some other contribution, we have managed to cover almost the entire cost of the project to date. It’s our way of giving back to our Community.” If you wish to make a monetary contribution, you may do so by submitting payment directly to Northampton Area Public Library and mark the contribution for “2014 Landscape Refurbishment.” In return for giving back to the community, the library will recognize your organization on their brand new digital sign, their newsletters and press releases relating to the 2014 Landscape Refurbishment. If you wish to make donations of material, plants or labor, contact Appalachian to coordinate 484239-3918 or email at info@appalachianinc.com.

Skate park among Discussion topics at meeting By DAVE SICA The Home News
Nazareth’s Workshop Council Meeting on July 28 covered a variety of topics. The public comment segment focused on the Skate Park, new landlord ordinances, new banners, and painted traffic lines. Resident Michael Fauerbach voiced the need to repair and restore the local skate park, which was built in 2007. He relayed to the council some concerns of the park not being safe for kids. Mr. Fauerbach made several suggestions including: fixing ramps, keeping a closer eye on maintenance and cleanup by including parents, and redesigning the park to include a BMX section for riders and

scooters. He also suggested making it more relevant in Nazareth, for instance including it in Nazareth Days. The council was interested, however liability concerns gave some pause. Another resident had multiple questions regarding the change of property registration and fees. The Council responded that they were hopeful the ordinances would be passed and completed by September, with January 2015 being the date they would take effect. At this time, the registration fee is set to be acquired yearly, and inspections and related fees will be levied every five years. Penalties were mentioned, but not specified, for nonpayment of registration. License # PA003267

The Council is looking at Emmaus, Wilson Borough, and others to find a model to work from. A concerned citizen and landlord brought up the new ordinances and how they might impact his properties. He was concerned with where the money would be going. “The registration would likely go to borough administration and inspection fees would go to inspectors,” Council president Dan Chiavaroli responded. A concern with the crosswalk near Emily’s Ice Cream was voiced as far as the lines being dangerous. Council stated they were designed to Penndot’s specifications, however the lines could use some painting. Also discussed were utility poles that were requested at a prior meeting. The borough’s metal polls were rejected for use. The others can be used, but must have a $1 million insurance policy and be approved by Met-Ed.

News Sermonette Rev. Donald E. Brown, Salem UCC Moorestown
Why Are We So Afraid of Fear?
Why are we so afraid of fear? I know – at first hearing it doesn’t sound like I am making any sense, but think about it. In Matthew 14: 22-33, Peter was afraid of his fear that he couldn’t walk on water at first, then he realized he was afraid of the fear of walking on water and he immediately began sinking, then the fear got really bad, and Peter had to admit that he was afraid and he called out in verse 30 saying…”Lord SAVE me! Do not be afraid, it says in the gospel text from Matthew. Jesus challenges each of us not to fear, but to have faith. “To be afraid or feel anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or event.” – the definition of FEAR from Merriam Webster on-line dictionary. “Do not be afraid” occurs almost 100 times in the scriptures. Apparently, the writers of scripture and humans themselves understand that humans are, in general very fearful and fearfilled creatures. We are in need of faith to attempt to overcome this fear and attempt to function in this crazy and fallen world so in need of redemption. They are moments when you and me, like Peter in our gospel story, lose sight of Jesus and begin to sink in the waves and need help. Who are we to think we could walk on water anyway? Dealing with fear and dealing with our own anxiety lies at the core of faithful living. Fear is the hidden slave driver, the hidden force that often controls us, and robs us of our Godgiven freedom. Not political freedom, but our God-given freedom to choose the way in which we will live our lives. Fear comes in many forms, private fear and public fear. It does not however respect our thoughts and beliefs, neither religious thoughts and beliefs, or political thoughts and beliefs. In fact clearly always transcends all of those factors. It knows of no ideological boundaries, and none of us are ever completely free of it in making decisions of everyday life. Often times just thinking about overcoming our fear is too much for many of us, so letting go of that fear, and facing ourselves is as frightening as the thought itself– and, therefore, stepping out of our safe boats and walking across the water as if it were dry land is hard work. So, are you comfortable in your little boat that you would never think of stepping out no matter who asks, or accomplishing what you could accomplish by stepping out? I hope not! I hope and pray that you believe that there is life outside the boat? I do! I hope you trust in faith, not fear. Faith in a Savior who not only points us to the shore, but remains near us, does not allow the rising seas of our fears to overwhelm us. This Savior lights our way. Therefore, do not be afraid. Amen? Amen.

Vehicle Maintenance
Tire Maintenance Is Key To Safe Summer Driving (NAPS)—Tires are the only thing between you and the road, so it’s imperative motorists stay on top of tire maintenance. Proper tire maintenance is important all year, but especially in the summer months as the temperature starts heating up and the frequency of tire blowouts increases. Improper tire care contributes to 195 fatalities and 6,300 injuries each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency also estimates that about 11,000 tire-related crashes occur annually. Simply checking your tire pressure can help you and your passengers stay safe during your next summer journey. To get the most from your tires this summer, here are five maintenance tips from the world’s largest independent tire and wheel retailer— Discount Tire: 1. Get Pressure Right— Low tire pressure can decrease fuel economy. Tires may lose up to one pound PSI (per square inch) of air pressure per month. The specific inflation pressure number may be found on the vehicle placard located inside the driver’s door. Don’t forget those trailer tires. Checking the tire pressure for boat, travel and utility trailers is as important as your car or truck. 2. Don’t Overload—Overloading your vehicle or trailer decreases fuel economy due to increased cargo weight. Handling, control and
braking are also negatively impacted. 3. Rotate Before You Go—Regular rotation helps achieve uniform tire wear and improves road performance. Tires rotated every 5,000 miles have longer life and will help maximize your tire investment. 4. Straighten Up—Proper wheel alignment provides safe, predictable vehicle control and helps tires wear evenly and last longer. If your tires squeal when you turn or if you notice your steering wheel veers to one side while driving straight, it’s time to get your wheels re-aligned. 5. Bald Isn’t Beautiful—Lack of tread affects the tire’s ability to grip the road, especially in wet conditions. Make sure tires don’t have uneven wear, which indicates something is wrong with the tire. High or low spots or unusually smooth areas may decrease traction and increase the risk of road accidents. “Maintaining tire pressure is one of the most critical things motorists can do to improve road safety while getting the most from their tires,” said Mark Marrufo of Discount Tire. “Improperly inflated tires lead to decreased steering and braking control as well as excessive tire wear and fuel consumption. Taking five minutes each month to inspect your tires will go a long way in keeping you and your passengers safe.” A Five-Minute Fix Checking tire pressure and tread is easy and can pay dividends when it comes to fuel economy and handling. Don’t go by appearances. Use a tire gauge to check the pressure since a tire can be 50 percent underinflated but still not appear flat. Make it a habit to check tire pressure every month and always before a long journey. Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure and don’t forget to check the spare and trailer tires. “Most people forget to check the pressure in the spare tire and come to find that when they need it, the spare is flat,” said Marrufo. “This simple check could keep you from a costly tow if you get stuck with a flat.” Road trippers should also check tire tread depth by using the “penny test.” Insert a penny upside down into the tread. If you see Abe Lincoln’s entire head, it’s time to replace the tire. To learn more about tire safety, visit www.discounttire.com.
