The New Leaf

[This is the first part of the poem, ‘The new Leaf ’, which Solly Hulsbuck (Harvey M. Miller) wrote.]

I turned over a new leaf, beginning of the New Year.

The first of January I have that already often done before.

But this year I just thought, I will start the leaf right this time, and make, definitely, a rule once, that will never break.

So I have ten new and good resolutions made here, while Polly has taunted and on top of that, thoroughly laughed.

And that, of course, angered me, and that is a bad sign, Dietermint, as ich noochdem for soon I was completely infuAbsaluut nix letz meh duh; riated, Awwer dart am Schteddlerthen there were only nine any wattshaus more.

Hen paar Friend mich so geretzt, Well, with nine resolutions, Dass endlich binnich mit un if they are good, things won’t hab go wrong.

Paar Bidders abgepetzt, So once again I continued on, Un no en Glaasvoll Hoppebrie and everything was alright.

Un glei waar’s iwwerdriwwe, And Polly also saw it, Un noch en Resolushon that I am better, than I was. gschluckt So I forgave [her] for it all, No waare’s yuscht meh siwwe. since she taunted me before. ...

But Saturday, when I was out -Solly Hulsbuck (Harvey M. there Miller) at the barn with the horses, preparing to go to town in such a customary farmer style, then the jockey mule [see note] kicked me out through the roof, that it cracked.

And I said something [expletives?] a few times, then there were only eight anymore.

Well with eight resolutions, if a man can hold them, he certainly will not stray far off track; so I was still not afraid.

And I went happily on the wagon and towards the town; determined, that after this, I do absolutely nothing more wrong.

But there at the village tavern a few friends teased me so, that I finally went along with them and polished off a couple of bitters, and then a glassful of beer (?), and soon it was overdone, and yet another resolution swallowed up.

Then there were only seven anymore.

[The second part will be printed in the next issue of ‘Town and Country.]

[Please forgive my English; in most cases, I have tried to keep the translation as close to the Dutch as possible, so one can more easily follow it.]

[Jockey mule, literally, Jack’s mule: A mule that is hitched on the outside of the horses with a strap from his inside bit ring to the inside horse’s belly band billet and is also connected to the inside horse with a jockey stick.

One end of this stick is snapped into the Mule’s outer bit ring and the other end to the inside horse’s hame ring (on the neck collar). It keeps them from being too close together. There must be at least 2 horses and a mule hitched up to necessitate the use of the jockey stick.]

Grow UR Biz Grow your business in the new year

Some people say that New Year’s resolutions are so yesterday; Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, much prefers a personal challenge: Every year, the Facebook founder sets out on an outlandish self-assignment “to broaden my perspective and learn something about the world beyond my work at Facebook,” he says. Past challenges have included learning to speak Chinese, wearing a tie to work everyday and only eating animals he has personally slaughtered.

It’s not surprising that Zuckerberg’s success rate has been rather jaw-dropping: But last year, Zuckerberg turned to the Facebook community to crowdsource ideas for 2015’s challenge.

You know the old saying.... if you do the same thing over and over again you will only see the same old results. In order to embrace the new year and new ideas, entrepreneurs must embrace the basic premise of trying something new or - taking a risk.

Six New Higher and Low Risk Ideas for your BIZ in 2016 LOW RISK • Read every day - sounds obvious but it reduces stress and increases intelligence.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip I hope you all enjoyed the warm weather we’ve been having.

It has turned a lot colder, at least for a few days, and we had some sleet Monday afternoon. Earlier, the sun actually came out. But the real winter’s coming on, so be ready! . . . .It was a nice Christmas and folks going to midnight services on Christmas Eve didn’t hafta wear heavy topcoats. The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is kind of a letdown, and if you weren’t too busy returning wrong size gifts, I reckon it was kinda quiet. But New Year’s Eve will take care of that.

Just don’t drink too much, and if you do, let somebody else who didn’t do the driving. . . .Herbie Silfies is back from his trip out to storm-battered Oregon, visiting his kin, and has returned to his buddies playing hearts at the Bath Legion. He learned that brother “Chow” became a great-grandpop for the eighth time. Congrats to all! By the way, Clark Smith says his son up in Alaska got a big moose. . . . What’d I tell ya!

Both the Eagles and Giants lost, and the Redskins won the NFC east division. It’s anybody’s guess who will get into the Super Bowl after the playoffs. I’m not betting on that. . . . The former Phyllis Henshue is recuperating from her fall, and probably happy that they moved up here from Texas, where they’ve had snow and tornados.

The Midwest has sure been hit again by tornados, with people losing their homes and lives right over the Christmas holiday.

Be thankful for the balance of weather we have around here. . . .

Legislators were home for Christmas, but no luck yet on getting the state budget through. Let’s hope that whatever happens, the people of our state don’t hafta dig in their pockets any more than they have already. . . .Congrats to Ed Musselman on his “300”

game at the Legion bowling lanes recently. Marty Beal is real happy with the way the remodeling has turned out. It’s neat. . . . Had some eggnog over the holiday.

Tasted good. Haven’t had any for years. The local taverns and clubs will be busy on Thursday night, New Year’s Eve. Have a happy, safe, healthy and prosperous New Year 2016!!!!

Lions told of Needs for Boy Scout Troop 33

by HOME NEWS STAFF

At their recent dinner meting in the fellowship hall of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Lion William Falstich, the Bath Lions Club liaison to Boy Scout Troop 33, told of leadership needs for the troop.

He said there are two positions in the troop that will need to be filled, because persons holding them now expect to leave the troop committee after their sons receive the Eagle rank in 2016.

It is hoped that their successors will be named so that there is a good transition for the active troop in Klecknersville that the Lions have sponsored since 1928.

District Seminar It was announced that a District 14-K Leadership Seminar will be held this Saturday, January 2, starting at 1 p.m. in Christ U.C.C. Church, Airport Road. As District Governor Karen Brady noted in a note to all clubs, “This is a critical meeting with the purpose of mapping out the future of our district.

Please come prepared to discuss our leadership succession plan, declining membership, and our future as a district.”

PDG Bill Halbfoerster will attend, but other club members are urged to attend as well.

Other Items At the Bath Lions meeting, a thank-you letter was received from Karen Huetter of the Center for Vision Loss, in appreciation of the $500 that the club gave for general operating needs at the facility for the blind and visually impaired in Allentown.

Sunday Bowlers pay Tribute

submitted by BRIAN RADCLIFFE The American Legion Eckley E. Patch, Post 470 Sunday Bowling League paid a tribute to a long time member of its league by hosting the first annual Al Weinberg Memorial Christmas Tournament.

The Sunday league held a 10, nine, eight, seven pin No Tap tournament. Before the festivities began, a special contribution was made in honor of Al, to the American Kidney Fund.

Al had been a diabetic for years and was on the list for a kidney transplant, but was removed due to other health issues. After his passing, the Kidney fund was a tremendous help in assisting the family cover the medical care and the funeral costs.

Al was loved by everyone he encountered, and no matter how sick he was feeling that day, always managed to bring a smile to your face. He loved his Yankees and his Giants, and he

Phantoms on the road again

Nick Cousins (left), Jason LaBarbera (middle) and Petr Straka (right) need to lead by example in four road games this week to get the Phantoms on the right track.

-Photo by Nina Weiss

by TONY ANDROCKITIS The Lehigh Valley Phantoms enter a crucial stretch of games as the calendar year ends and the halfway point of the 2015-16 season approaches. The team is still battling to get above the .500 mark for the first time this season and can do so with a successful week to finish off their five-game road trip, which started on the right foot Sunday with a 3-0 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

“I think it was a gutsy effort,” defenseman Andrew MacDonald said after Sunday’s win in Wilkes-Barre. “It wasn't perfect, but sometimes you have to grind these games out and get the win.”

At 15-16-1-0 entering this week’s slate of games, the Phantoms need to do just as MacDonald says – find ways to win

games and string together some wins to move up the standings.

Lehigh Valley heads to Binghamton Tuesday night and Hershey on New Year’s Eve before finishing the road trip with a pair of games this weekend in Portland against the Pirates on Saturday and Sunday.

In order for the Phantoms – or any hockey team – to be successful, the team’s top players must be on top of their game. In the Phantoms’ win on Sunday, they got goals from MacDonald, Petr Straka and team-captain Colin McDonald with a game-high two assists from the team’s leading scorer Nick Cousins.

“We had our time at home. We knew it was coming,” Cousins said of the upcoming road trip.

“We were fortunate enough to

have the break [for the holidays], so five on the road and everyone is rested. We're going to get some bodies back and be ready to go.”

LaBarbera proving His worth It had been mostly a season to forget for veteran goaltender Jason LaBarbera as the team entered a week-long break for the holidays. The 16-year pro had missed five weeks with an injury and simply wasn’t getting the results he had hoped for, especially in the Phantoms’ final game before the break – a 2-1 loss to the Binghamton Senators in a game in which LaBarbera played well and stopped 30 of the 32 shots he faced. An unfortunate bounce with 2:20 left in that game proved to be the difference.

“That was certainly a tough pill to swallow,” LaBarbera recalled of the loss to Binghamton before Rte. 329 & the break. “We played well and Savage Rd. like how it’s gone all year – it just Northampton didn't bounce our way.”

610-262-4566 Still, LaBarbera played well despite picking up the loss – dropping to 1-7 on the season.

“I've been around long enough.

“For me that's the biggest thing.

Always have faith in yourself. At this point in [my] career, it's just good that the guys in the room can see it.”

Straka scores League-leading 16th goal sunday Petr Straka took the league by storm in November, tallying a goal in six straight games and climbing up the league’s goalscoring leaderboard. Straka finished the month with 10 goals in 13 games.

December hasn’t been as kind to the Czech-born forward in his third season with the Phantoms – just one goal in 10 games. That was before Sunday’s win over Wilkes-Barre, where he tallied his league-leading 16th goal of the season late in the second period. On the power play, Straka

took a pass from Cousins and fired a shot on net that deflected off a defender’s skate and changed direction on its way past the Penguins’ goaltender Brian Foster.

“I've had some great chances the last couple of games and the goalies have made great saves,” Straka said after Sunday’s game.

“Usually it comes with an ugly goal, so I got one now and hopefully gets me going again.”

Despite cooling off from his torrid pace in November, Straka’s 16 goals on the season are still tops in the entire American Hockey League (AHL). While he doesn’t mind being the league’s leader, it’s not something he’s really thinking about.

“I don't really look at it. It's nice to be up top but my goal is something else,” Straka said of being the AHL’s leading goal scorer.

“I'll just be happy if they can keep coming and get me where I want to be.”

The Roman Road

The Roman Road shows the way to eternal life! These Scriptures from the book of Romans in the Bible are powerful truths that if sincerely believed and fully acted upon will guide us to the only way to heaven. The first one reveals our standing with God. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” That’s a stubborn fact with which we cannot argue! Our sin separates us from a holy God in this life and in the life to come.

Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Good news! God loved us enough to provide His own Son, Jesus, as an atoning sacrifice to save us from sin’s devastating penalty.

Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin is death…” That’s eternal death--separation from God forever! Thankfully, there is an alternative!

Romans 6:23b “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Think of it! Jesus took our death penalty so we could have God’s gift of eternal life! Here’s how to receive it: Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” That includes you! You can be saved right now by accepting Jesus into your heart as your risen Savior while calling on Him in prayer. Do it now! Let me know that you have done this, and I will pray with you. Then serve Him: Romans 12:1-2 “…present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Northampton County to host Southeast Division meeting

by HOBBY Northampton County will host the semi-annual meeting of the Southeast Division of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs (PFSC) on Sunday, January 10. It will be held at the Keystone Rod & Gun Club in Bath starting shortly after 9:00 a.m.

There will be many issues to discuss, with the delegates mulling over them before they go on to the state Federation meeting in Harrisburg in March 11 through 13 for their spring convention.

The southeast consists of Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, Bucks, Montgomery, Schuylkill, Chester and Philadelphia counties, so it’s a major division for the state with all the sportsmen and women who love to hunt, fish, and trap, and who want to preserve their 2nd Amendment rights, and conserve the natural resources that we have.

I’ll have a report after the division meeting, and will go into the six questions the PFSC will be voting on in March in a column shortly after.
