As some 200 people gathered in the fellowship hall of Christ U.C.C. Church of Bath on Sunday evening to hear a musical program titled, “The Bells of Christmas,” the director, Mrs. Sharon Schrantz, received two certificates of recognition.

State Representative Marcia Hahn (138th-R) addressed hers to Director Schrantz and to the Bath Community Choir: “In recognition of the formation of the Bath Community Choir and for your continued services and dedication to the Borough of Bath and surrounding communities, I commend you and the choir for your commitment to our community and I offer my best wishes for your future success.”

Bath Mayor Fiorelli Reginelli

Mirabito also addressed her certificate: “In recognition of your outstanding and continued dedication, time and efforts in organizing and conducting the very talented individuals of the Bath Community Choir.” It was signed by members of Bath Borough Council.

Mrs. Schrantz praised members of the choir for devoting their Sunday evenings to many hours of practice, and the quality of their presentation showed.

Then followed an hour of various songs of the Christmas season that were greeted by applause from the audience.

Indian Trail Park- Part One

by ED PANY Recently some of my loyal readers requested I recall Indian Trail Park in Pennsville. As a youngster it was a treat to visit the park. My parents would visit the park on many Sunday afternoons. There was always plenty of activity. I wonder how many of my readers have been at the park?

My friends at the Lehigh Township Historical Society wrote a great book, “Lehigh Township,” giving us an accurate history of

the park far superior to my youthful memories.

Their book takes us back to the park on those summer days long ago. I thank my friends at Lehigh for using some of their material.

Pennsville Park, or Indian Trail Park, was named after Indian Creek, which flows through the park. Twenty acres in size, it was purchased by two Allentown men, the Sollidays. They wanted their own park and organized the Indian Trail Park Co. A great loca-

tion, it started as a picnic area. The park’s slogan was “Cool Retreat from the Summer Heat.” The park was surrounded by 20 summer bungalows overlooking the park.

If interested, one could purchase a lot for $275-$400. Wonder what the lot your home is situated on costs? Maybe a bit more today!

The homes are still there, a living reminder of the park’s past.

I spent a number of days swimming in the pool long before there was a municipal pool in Northampton. The pool was concrete, there was a lifeguard and the depth reached nine feet. The

pool was shaded by beautiful trees and was adjacent to the Indian Creek. Swimmers had access to a dressing room with lockers. It was small compared to the pools today, but back then size didn’t even cross our minds.

There was no admission price to enter the grounds. Campsites were close to swings, seesaws and slides for the youngsters.

If you wanted something to eat, you could go to the Trading Post, a large structure that had a restaurant and yes, even a soda fountain. Thankfully the building has been preserved by the Lehigh Township Historical Society and is home to an interesting exhibit of township history, which you should visit.

Everybody loves watermelon.

They placed them in the cool flowing waters of the Indian Creek, environmental natural watermelons. Other concession stands dotted the grounds, serving everything from popcorn to hotdogs. We parked in a meadow next to the park and parking was free. You had to arrive early, for soon all the spots would be taken, especially when there were company picnics. I do recall when the International Ladies Garment Workers had picnics there, my Mother was a machine operator when the garment industry employed thousands. Unfortunately the plants and unions are all gone.

I end on that sad note, but we will return to the park in two weeks to visit the Arcade- come along and bring a penny!

Be aware of Your true self

In my Natural Perspectives™ column I continually discuss health and wellness aspects that I believe assist in making your life better all around. I attempt to be as concise as am able, short and sweet. Leaving you hopefully, with points to ponder and consider further as you feel so moved.

In the same vein, please consider my next assertion that the health and well-being of your inner self, your inner person if you will, is profoundly more important than the emphasis we place on this temporary skin and bones that we inhabit. Continuing, should the inner self be neglected, the physical manifestation will find itself lacking.

If you even marginally agree, then allow me to ask you what

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

steps you are taking to nurture the health and well-being of your inner person? You cannot just simply take a supplement or concoction. It doesn’t reach the depth required.

You also cannot do physical exercise on the immaterial. No, your inner-self does not respond so much to running on a treadmill yet I perceive that it does respond and change as the result of seeing the birth of child, reading and hearing of the truth contained in scripture, the gentle sharing of touch (one of our most incredible gifts given), and even taking in the smell of a mind clearing fall morning.

With this said, I wish I had the expertise, the knowledge of how

exactly you can develop and appropriately enhance this unforeseen “self ” that resides and gives actual life to the body but alas, such matters are for greater minds to share. However, this much I do know: Your inner self needs to be nurtured intentionally, desires to mature consistently, and has an intimate connection to the world around us and the world that awaits each of us in turn.

At a glance, such development appears to involve the five senses and additionally, time, in some cases, lots of time for our true self to arrive at the ah-ha moments of clarity and understanding. I am also aware that suppressing, hindering, or resisting the natural development and growth of your inner self can bring angst and heartache and, in fact, physical sickness to the body. I have seen this time and time again. I clearly understand how all this sounds, yet deep down you most certainly have this awareness that what I Continued on page 5

express does hold merit and in the very least deserves quiet contemplation.

I recently read some passages written by a present day philosopher. The passages were profound. My take away was that we truly suffer greatly when we attempt to stifle the growth and maturity of our inner person. It is the natural order of things that we evolve and change.

Imagine trees never dropping their leaves, clouds never letting go of rain, or remaining the same person you were in high school.

Where would we all be? I laugh when I think about how many versions of me my lovely wife has had the opportunity to, shall we say, enjoy over the past three decades. As they say, I may not be where I want to be, yet I am sure happy that I am not who I used to be.

My hope is that this week’s article drives home the point that the real you, the inner you, is a jewel and precious beyond words.

To think we are who others say we are, defined by our failures or success, our material possessions, our jobs, or status is the biggest hoax being played. Being yourself is simply enough. Be determined to remove the shroud that so easily confuses, shred the casings of our past selves that attempts to ensnare and imprison, and live the life you were meant to enjoy.

It’s an inside job! My best to you.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Wow! What a beautiful weekend. It was cold and breezy Sunday night, but it didn’t stop almost 300 people from enjoying the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Monocacy Creek Park.

They just shivered in their boots while sipping on some hot chocolate and munching on cookies, and enjoyed the singing, seeing the tree lights turned on, and the visit from Santa Claus as he came in on three fire trucks. For those who wished, carriage rides were available. It’s always nice, too, when the crowd holds up lit candles while they sing “Silent Night.” A hearty “thank you” to all who had a hand in another successful program in Bath. . . . .It was great to see blue skies and the sun on Monday after almost

a week of gloomy gray skies, but really we need the rain, too. . . .So I don’t forget, congrats to the Konkrete Kids for winning another big Thanksgiving Day football game over in Catasauqua. The score was 42 - 25. The late Al Erdosy and Mike Lisetski, and others in the Northampton Athletic Department would be proud of you . . . .When the Live Christmas Pageant is presented on Saturday and Sunday, December 10 and 11, Florence Liberto, “Chick’s” wife, will be an angel for the 18th year. Terrific! The pageant is sure worth seeing at the Rose Garden in Bethlehem, as they tell the story of Christ’s birth, with everyone dressed in the type of clothing worn in those Biblical times.

Live animals, too! . . . .Jeff Varju drew some laughs when he made the sound of a neighing horse with his trumpet after one of the songs at the Christmas program down at the U.C.C. church Sunday afternoon. Hats off to Sha-

ron Schrantz for all the time and effort she puts in to bringing the sound of music in our town. . . .There was some snow up in the Poconos, but I don’t know if it was enough for any tracking now that we’re into the bear and deer hunting seasons. Good luck to the hunters, and if you have any pictures of deer you shot, send ‘em in to the paper by e-mail. . . .It’s been cold enough for making snow at the ski resorts, like Blue Mountain and Camelback. The weather folks figure we’ll have more snow this winter, especially more than last year. . . . Tree lighting ceremonies are still ahead for Moore Township and Nazareth.

Northampton had theirs the same night as Bath. Lots of shopping to do, now that we’re into December. Christmas is only days away. Have fun!!

resentative Hahn urged residents.

She also reminded them to look out for their neighbors and help with anything from hanging Christmas lights to shoveling snow.

“Keep the season in your hearts each and every day,” she continued.

Mark Saginario, president of the Borough of Bath Council, also spoke to those in attendance and congratulated the borough, its representatives and its residents for a very successful 2016.

“This community has come together time and time again,” he said.

Sunday night, the borough showed once more its willingness to come together through celebration, song, and especially service.

It was generous donations from local businesses and volunteer organizations that made the ceremony possible. Cookies and hot chocolate (which kept plenty of hands warm), in addition to books for the children were all donated by local residents and businesses, while Mayor Mirabito herself donated the colorful tree lights and ornaments. “[Bath is] a beautiful place to live, shop, and eat,” said Melissa Grube, president of the Bath Lions Club, who decorated the borough’s Christmas tree.

After a performance of “Let it Snow” by the Bath Community Choir (under the direction of Frosty the Snowman), the tree was lit by Maryann Milisits-Lilly, an avid community volunteer for both the Bath Fire Fighters Ladies Auxiliary and Bath Fire Company. She lit the tree in honor of her brother, Joseph Milisits, a member of the Bath Fire Department who passed away earlier this year.

After the colorful tree came to life, all joined the choir for a performance of “Silent Night” and illuminated the park in the warm glow of over a hundred flickering candles.

Two very special guests also made an appearance in the park: Cinderella, passing through Bath on her way to Disney World, and, escorted by a parade of fire trucks, Santa Claus. Children lined up excitedly to meet both Continued on page 8

Focused on Folks 60+ Coping With Caregiving Roles— Tips From Leeza Gibbons (NAPSI)—There are more than 34 million informal caregivers today, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Caring for loved ones can

be one of the most important things you do but often caregivers face incredible pressures as they help ensure their loved one is safe and aging well at home, while simultaneously

maintaining their own day-today life.

It’s normal that caregivers feel this pressure, emotionally, financially and physically. As a caregiver herself, American talk show host Leeza Gibbons understands the roller coaster of emotions involved—feeling angry, frustrated, exhausted, alone or sad, while also feeling fulfilled about your role helping them age healthy and happy.

Being a caregiver can be an isolating experience and it’s hard to know where to turn. To help other caregivers cope with this unique and important role, Gibbons, who is a caregiver for her father Carlos, has the following tips:

Tip #1 Take your oxygen first: Caregivers are nurturers but if you really want to nurture someone, you have to fill yourself up first...mind, body, soul and spirit. That’s the first way to give love to your loved one.

When you feel better and are mentally stronger as the caregiver, you can go the distance and your loved one will also benefit from the positive change.

Tip #2 Talk as a family: To keep everyone on the same page and ensure everyone’s voice is heard, set up time for a family “check in.” This could be a family dinner or monthly video conference, where family members come together to talk through

important topics and emotions top of mind with everyone. This also serves as an open environment to make everyone’s voice count. You may not all agree but it’s a time to go from conflict to consensus.

Tip #3 Incorporate technology into your caregiving: There are solutions available right now—and they’re getting better every day—that can support your role as caregiver. In addition, these solutions can help engage your loved ones to help improve their overall quality of life and independence. One solution is a medical alert service. Have a conversation about how this service can benefit both of you, as it will give you peace of mind knowing your loved one will have access to help, even if you’re not there.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Lehigh Township Supervisors Extend deadline for Wal-Mart Land Development

By JUSTIN SWEITZER At their final meeting for the month of November, the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors granted a request to extend the time of the Wal-Mart land development plan until March 31, 2017. The plan, for a Wal-Mart supercenter at the intersection of Route 145 and Birch Drive in Lehigh Township, was set to expire on Dec. 11, 2016.

The proposed development of the Wal-Mart has drawn considerable criticism from Lehigh Township residents who insist that the Wal-Mart supercenter will greatly disturb their way of life. The project was revisited and re-presented to the township in October following its previous abandonment after the 2008 financial crisis.

According to the board, the developers behind the project have been revising their plans following the review by the township engineer who made changes and recommendations to the original 16-page document submitted to the township.

The board also extended the deadline for the Northwoods Major Subdivision. The plans for the subdivision were set to expire on November 30, so the board moved to also extend

their deadline to March 31, 2017.

Board member Keith Hantz made a motion to appoint Hanover Engineering as the township’s zoning officer, which was unanimously approved by the board. The decision to appoint Hanover Engineering was supported by Township Solicitor David Backenstoe who believed it to be a good time to make the change as the amount of zoning applications has declined as of late. A short-term rental ordinance to address the growing use of online short-term property rentals, such as Airbnb, was tabled to the board’s next meeting to allow for a more in-depth discussion between members.

The next Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.

Hahn honors local Eagle Scout with House citation huge bonfire on the grounds of the high school and then parade out Belvidere Street to the Nazareth Inn. We had pep rallies in front of the Inn and cheerleaders Alice, Barbara, Nancy, Patty, Helen and Marie would lead the cheers from the open front porch of the Inn. After the pep rally we would all go to J&M’s on South Main Street for a hamburger and a coke where we could dance to the rock and roll tunes on the old jukebox.

The Wilson game was the most important game of the season and was usually held in Cottingham Stadium in Easton, which could hold the capacity crowd of students and fans. After sitting in the icy cold weather all morning, it was wonderful to come home to the smell of roast turkey and mince pie baking in the oven.

It was a tradition that has faded away like so many others.

Thanksgiving has not been the same since they changed the Wilson game to another date. Things change, times change and people change. They say “you can’t go back” but sometimes I’d like to be sixteen again, sitting in Cottingham stadium, wearing my blue and white jacket and cheering for the big Blue and White.

Beier home

Governor Wolf Historical Society’s Christmas House Tour submitted by BARBARA WIEMANN Beier home- This folk Victorian house was built in 1895.

At one time it was owned by a local doctor, who not only lived there, but practiced there as well. The house also served as a barbershop sometime in the mid 1900s.

Located on a main corner in the village of Klecknersville, it is one of the prominent homes.

Klecknersville was once known for the silver making attempted nearby.

This home still retains its original woodwork, including the double front doors, which also still have the original and functioning mechanical push button doorbell. What is now the living room used to be a parlor and a living room with a hallway running along the staircase. Some features the homeowners love about the house are the secondary staircase and the large hall on the second floor.

The hand-turned spindles are in the original finish.

Outbuildings include a barn and the original outhouse, which was expanded to make

a tool shed after the house was plumbed for a bathroom, and later fenced in to convert it into a doghouse. The homeowners converted it into a chicken coop and run in the spring of 2015.

The first and second floors are open for the tour.

Piperato home- Nearly 11 months after making an offer on this home, the new homeowners finally unlocked the front door on October 1, 2011; proof positive that a “short sale” is rarely short.

The home’s construction date is unknown, but thought to be mid to late 1800s, shortly after the 1835 construction of the mill across the street. Previously a bed and breakfast, the home had fallen into heavy disrepair and sat on the market for nearly five years before the owners’ purchase. After a full month of renovation, the family was able to move into one of the bedrooms upstairs and began to update the rooms one at a time. Visitors will be able to see most of the first and second floors. Under renovation currently are the back pantry room, the workroom, and the

previous owner’s master bedroom. Professional landscaping still needs to be done around the house, the pond and the tennis court, and plans for a pole-building garage will begin once the interior of the home is finished. The homeowners have compiled an online record of their renovations and a history of the home with pictures and details about the original Heyer and Sobel families.

The Governor Wolf Historical Society’s Christmas House Tour will be held Saturday, December 3 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

House tour tickets are $20 if purchased in advance, or $25 on the day of the tour. Tickets are available for purchase at the following locations: -Bath Drug, 310 S. Walnut St., Bath.

To the Next Generation This article was submitted by Anna Carlstrand.

I love to have conversations with my grandsons and always try to take time to listen. I respond in conversation and use these times to teach life lessons.

My grandson was four years old at the time of the following conversation. He told me that “God’s team is bigger than Satan’s team. God’s team has the sword of faith. When we are on God’s team, someday we will be in heaven with Him and the whole team.” He told me that Nanna, his great grandmother who recently passed away, is with God in heaven. He has been listening to conversations at home and he was able to figure this out in his little innocent, uncluttered mind. This is an example of the childlike faith with which God wants us to come to Him. He also told me that we really don’t know what heaven looks like; we only know the things that God has told us in the Bible. As he seeks, he will find more answers and continue to grow in his faith. Faith is God’s free gift to each of us. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. As he hears about God at home, in Sunday School, and at Vacation Bible School, God will grow his faith. No one is ever too old to seek and find but when we do, we should never stop growing in our faith and our knowledge of the Lord. He has a plan for each of us.

I asked my grandson, “How do we tell other people about Jesus?” He said, “We can write it down and send it to people.” I told him that I have been writing about how I love Jesus and about things that God’s Word teaches me.

I want him and his brother to learn how to read so they can read my words.

I want to share my faith with them. I want all of us to be on God’s team so we can be together throughout eternity as promised in the Scriptures. When we seek, we find. When God convicts our hearts, we have to make a choice.

I have chosen to believe and receive Jesus as my Savior! Won’t you?

"One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts" (Psalm 145:4).

Grandson of Bath couple earns Venture Award from Oxford University in England

Advertising Bundle

Matthew Rehrig, grandson of Bath couple, stands next to University of Oxford in England after receiving award.

–Contributed photo

by HOME NEWS STAFF Matthew D. Rehrig, son of Brian and Sheila Rehrig, Boston, Mass., and grandson of Marjorie Rehrig and the late Carl Rehrig, Bath, graduated with an M.B.A. degree from Oxford University in Oxford, England, in June.

While at the university, Rehrig was awarded first place and won $25,000 in the Skoll Ventures Awards for “Tulivu Imaging,” a medical diagnostic service provider focusing on ultrasound in Nairobi, Africa.

For the fourth year, the Skoll Center at .. the University of Oxford’s Said Business School held the final pitching round for the Skoll Venture Award. Matt was awarded £20,000. Tulivu Imaging aims to bring better antenatal services to existing health care facilities by training staff and using the latest technology in ultrasound equipment.

Rehrig started Tulivu while pursuing his M.B.A. at Oxford and brought many of his fellow classmates on board to help launch the project’s first pilot this year.

The Skoll Venture Awards recognize and award socially focused businesses that have a deep understanding of the problem it is trying to address and to take account of its complex eco-system in which it is placed.

Over 35 Yrs. Experience

After the event, Rehrig commented, “I’m tremendously honored to be recognized with the Skoll Venture Award. This support will help us refine our model and expand Tulivu’s reach, giving more women access to affordable, quality services like ultrasound.”

Tulivu Imaging launched their pilot in May 2016, working with six clinics across the Nairobi area over six weeks.

Founder Matt Rehrig has a background in social impact strategy consulting, as well as operations management for start-up social enterprises. He spent six years at the Foundation Strategy Group leading teams on strategy and evaluation engagements with foundations, corporations, and non-profits.

His focus was global health.

When seeking more hands-on experience, he spent two years in Nairobi leading business operations for Jacaranda Health, a social enterprise building a chain of high-quality, low-cost maternity hospitals.

Matthew and his wife Anna reside in London, England. Along with Marjorie, they spent the Thanksgiving holiday at Brian’s home in a small town outside of Boston. Today our children have great opportunities and it sometimes takes them all over the world.
