Bath wraps up 2019, Looks ahead to 2020

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Borough of Bath Council had their last public meeting of 2019 on Monday, Dec. 2. During the meeting, council wrapped up its final tasks of 2019 and started to look forward to all that the New Year has in store.

Among the tasks council carried out was passing the borough’s 2020 budget. The budget included $1.3 million in general funds, with total funds for the year rounding out at $2.4 million. The borough predicts a closing balance of roughly $302,700 at the end of 2020. No real estate tax increase is included in the budget.

Roads will be a focus for 2020.

Council President Mark Saginario said that winter weather will prevent public works from carrying out any more road projects, but council has started a list of work to be done in 2020. Parking enforcement will also become a focus in the New Year, with the borough hiring a parking enforcement officer.

Meanwhile, a new sanitation contract will start in 2020. Garbage collection will be performed

by Advanced Disposal. Residents should be on the lookout for mailings with more information.

Advanced is still scheduling a date for the dispersal of new garbage totes to residents.

Also starting up in January 2020, after a brief hiatus, will be the borough’s neighborhood watch group. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito asked residents to get involved and contact Pennsylvania State Police’s emergency or nonemergency numbers if they see anything of concern.

It was reported that crime in the borough was down considerably in 2019. In 2017, there were over 2,000 crimes reported in the borough. In 2019, there were roughly 1,000. Total calls to the county’s 911 center are also down, reported Mayor Mirabito.

“We do not have huge, violent crimes here,” she said. She added that the borough will continue to monitor crime in 2020, with safety for residents being a first priority.

Finally, the borough’s looking forward to an exciting new year of business, commerce, and growth. Jessica O’Donnell and Liana Marte, of the Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, have taken over liaisons with the Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce.

They made a presentation dur-

ing the Dec. 2 meeting. They said they do not want to “reinvent the wheel” but build on the strategies that have worked in other municipalities. They’re planning to expand Spuds and Suds and start a restaurant week in the borough. They’re also going to take a “feet on the street” approach in 2020, meeting with business owners regularly to put together an itinerary of goals to accomplish.

“Together we are stronger,” said O’Donnell. “We want to showcase this community.”

Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman added that residents can expect three new businesses to open in the borough’s historic district, adding to the excitement of the borough’s growing downtown area.

“I’ll let you be surprised when [the businesses] open,” she told council and residents.

To councilmembers and residents alike, it was clear that Bath had a successful 2019. But Saginario is already looking ahead.

“We had a great 2019,” he said. “Let us keep the hard work going into 2020.”

13th Annual Pumpkin Pie 5k Held Thanksgiving morning

by HOME NEWS STAFF The Nazareth Branch of the Greater Valley YMCA held their 13th Annual Pumpkin Pie 5k on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 28. Start time was at 9 a.m. on Main Street in Nazareth and participants had the option to walk or run the 5k. All proceeds support the Y’s financial assistance fund, ensuring that no person is turned away from the Y due to inability to pay.

Breweries Part 1 of 3

Today we rekindle some old local brewery memories. A number of years ago I wrote a series on the old Tru Blu Brewery in Northampton. Recently a number of Tru Blu artifacts have been donated to the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum. Why? The brew was a favorite of local cement workers. It was refreshing to wash down some dust after a long day at the plants.

In the past a number of breweries were found in Lehigh Valley communities. Our friends in Catasauqua were served by the Eagle Brewing Co. with their “Old Dutch” Nix Besser! beer.

Down in Allentown were Neuweiler’s and on Gordon Street there was Horlacher’s. I recall interviewing a number of men who worked at Tru Blu. There was pride in the beer they brewed.

One was somewhat dramatic saying, “The beer was as tasty as my mother’s soup.”

The brewery was established in 1903. Their water was supplied from a deep artesian well. The structure, still standing, is a land-

mark in the Newport Avenue neighborhood.

The brewery grew and prospered. The brewery was served by the Central of New Jersey Railroad, which had tracks adjacent to the brewery. Raw materials were delivered around the clock.

The brewery purchased a number of hotels that exclusively sold Tru Blu beer. Horse-drawn wagons were the means of trans-

portation. A bottling house was located across the street on Newport Avenue. A beer line under the street connected the brewery to the bottling operation; of course beer was bottled in glass bottles. Metal containers would appear in later years.

Trucks would replace the horse and wagons. One of the early secretaries was Betty Seidel’s mother.

Our older readers may recall Ms. Seidel owned a gift shop in Cherryville, which was visited by a number of celebrities including Burl Ives and Tony Bennett.

Betty recalled, “My mother was a secretary and her pay was $11 a week at the brewery. She enjoyed her job.” Her old gift shop, which dated back to the American Revolution, was recently demolished.

The brewery had a number of “barrel makers” who repaired the wooden barrels and a garage to store and repair their new truck fleet.

In two weeks we will visit the brewery during prohibition, we will have to be careful!

For the health-minded individual

If You’re Sick

I guarantee that more than a few people reading this week’s article are experiencing some type of current sickness in their lives.

Maybe the illness is temporary, as in a cold and associated runny nose. Perhaps you have lost your voice due to a viral infection and have swollen lymph nodes. You could be experiencing the likes of an acute bronchitis, seasonal allergies, or infection from a cut or ingrown hair, or what have you.

Some are dealing with pain and suffering due to injury, arthritis or otherwise. Still others are facing significantly more serious sickness such as an auto-immune disease, or even cancer(s). So much afflicts our human bodies I could spend the rest of our time together simply naming disorders of the body, not to mention sickness of the spiritual and emotion

basics of any program must always be addressed first. Allow me to explain but before I do I feel the need to add the disclaimer, “Check with your medical professional before starting any new health program.”

At the time of this writing I myself am facing nerve pain on the left side of my face and a knee that is starting to show signs of the athletic follies of youth many miles I have run. In addition, I can feel as though my lymph nodes are slightly swollen and candidly feeling fatigue. So what could I offer to help you to get a leg up and potentially heal from all the different illnesses, sicknesses, and musculoskeletal issues and possibilities that afflict us? Well the protocol is pretty obvious to me (and perhaps many of you) but when I say it, you’ll probably dismiss the greatest healing approach of all time. I know this as after treating thousands of patients, it's clear that

So you would think that with so many different possible problems anyone or everyone can have, you would need, more than likely, many different solution protocols. To this I would say yes…and no.

Gab over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip Well the weatherman sure missed on that storm earlier this week, with all their technology, severe weather alert pop ups on your phones forecasting from 5 to 8 inches of snow and only getting an inch. . . although that was enough for my old bones. . . maybe not for the young'uns, but they had no school anyhow. . . It would be nice for a few inches on Christmas Eve, though. . . The forecast says brilliant sunshine for Saturday, I'm sure the Historical Society is happy about that with all those open houses for the Christmas House Tour! . .

It seems every couple of years you hear about library funding being cut, with not many book stores still in business, many people not reading these days. . . seems to me that it's more important than ever to keep the funding for these libraries. . . Looks like the Eagles are really falling apart after that loss to the Dolphins, but there's still hope, they have four games left, all with division rivals, and nobody seems to want to win the division. . . We'll, it's decision time, picking out that perfect Christmas tree, see ya!

Nazareth students aim to showcase STEM career opportunities with “cool” Video featuring their hometown’s premier kitchen cabinet manufacturer.

The contest provides 7th and 8th graders from 31 schools in Lehigh, Northampton, and Carbon counties a unique opportunity to connect directly with Lehigh Valley manufacturers as they use their curiosity and creativity to develop, shoot, edit and produce a video about their experiences.

Grow UR BizBring home the Bacon

By CAROL RITTER

I just got back from my Thanksgiving vacation with my family, the memories are many, the emotions flowed (first year without my mom) but I can’t stop thinking about the most delicious bacon I ever tasted. So I walked into a restaurant, half full, and I'm greeted with, “May I help you?” "Yes, you can, do you have any of that fabulous bacon?" She ushered us to our seat and three seconds later the bacon was on our table. Impressive to say the least. About one minute after that our waitress showed up smiling, bubbly and ready to take our drink order. From the time this restaurant opened they have offered their secret weapon, they have something no one else has, the mystery bacon. Then

they added extreme customer service, and guess what, by the time we left the line was out the door. The energy, the service, the menu (lobster eggs benedict) and the bacon, you just can’t wait to go back.

I often wonder why all businesses don’t think about those two things, the secret weapon and extreme customer service. It’s hard to decide which is more important. I think they are like the song “Love and Marriage,” you

Dr. Clearie Continued from page 3

some take good advice given and some don’t. It’s perplexing but it’s our human nature.

It’s like telling my mother recentl, “When you want really bad advice ask your other sons but when you want really good advice I’ll be here.” To which she replied, “Oh really, weren’t you the kid who decided to jump off the barn roof to get those wild raspberries bushes?” Well, I didn’t really jump. I kinda just got ahead of myself. (Let’s not talk about that right now…)

The point attempted to be made is that I know what will help your health improve. I do.

You of course can seek advice from a specialist in New York or down to Penn Medical Center in Philadelphia yet I would ask that you take this advice with you wherever you go. Ready?

Consume a boat load of vegetables from sun up to sun down.

Boom. There it is. The tried and true greatest healing approach of all time revealed and you didn’t need to leave the comfort of your easy chair.

“Dr. Clearie, are you telling me that you think the nerve pain in your face is coming from your diet? Or that your knee pain or feeling under the weather is from your diet?” The answer is really that I have no idea but the foundation of any healing approach, no matter what, has to start with scrutinizing what you put in your body. To clarify, I have a deep understanding of how the human body works. With all my knowledge I also clearly understand that I don’t know much at all but I think that I don’t need to know anything much more than to put Brussels sprouts in my mouth

and let them do their thing.

Get it?

Whatever afflicts, I implore you to clean up your diet. Peppers, tomatoes, radish, celery, carrots, cucumbers, Swiss chard, and all the rest must be seen as “healing medicine.” Perhaps you do much more than this but if you miss this key point you are more likely working against your body’s innate healing ability Yes, you need water. Yes, you need proper sleep. Yes, you need to get some appropriate exercise but it’s so important to put nothing but great food in you. I just believe that vegetables are the answer to the majority of problems out there. Maybe vegetables don’t fix your specific problem but please know it will make you a healthier version of yourself.

Who doesn’t want that?

So this holiday season do your best to keep eating well so you can feel well. It’s really as simple as that.

My best to you.

Stories From My Heart

by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca Stained Glass Windows

I have always been intrigued by stained glass. Notably, the story each pane of glass told.

I am sure the men and women who carefully place each piece of glass in its proper place are touched by each window they complete. Especially those that work on stained glass for church windows. The windows that welcome each man, woman, and child into a place of love and acceptance. This is where my story begins. A story that changes each week, from the time I walk through the front door.

My story began nineteen years ago when I was looking to move into the quaint, small, charming town of Nazareth.

After visiting a few churches, I walked through the doors of St. John's UCC. As I walked down the center aisle, looking for a pew, I was taken back by the sun streaming through the large stained-glass window behind me. The colorful, vibrant colors washing over the walls made me feel like I was part of a beautiful rainbow. However, that was just the beginning.

As I smiled at those who welcomed me and shook hands, something beautiful caught my eye. It was the stained glass window behind the altar, above the golden cross and just beneath the tall white ceiling.

Each piece of stained glass

December 5-11, 2019 11

was arranged to depict Jesus teaching the Beatitudes. His image was so beautifully created and touched my heart. I found myself staring into his eyes, those loving eyes. The mesmerizing faces of the listeners hanging on to each word of his lesson were captured so perfectly. I found myself looking up as if to heaven throughout the service.

Then one Sunday, sitting in my pew with my eyes on Jesus, and sensing the sun streaming through the beautiful stained glass window near the backside of the church, I felt a peaceful feeling that started in my heart and radiated to every inch of my being. It was a calmness I've never felt before. I felt safe and loved as if the whole church was filled with angels.

That beautiful scene still touches my heart each Sunday as I lift my heart in prayer, listen to the message, and enjoy the soul touching music. It has brought me peace when loved ones passed and reassured me that he waits for each one of us with open arms. Each week, as my walk with him, gets stronger, that window keeps reminding me that I am his and he is mine.

When I think back to the folks who created the window, I wonder what they felt as they put each piece together. When it was finished, did the image that touched my heart, touch their hearts? Did it make a difference in their lives? Did it fill them with peace? Most importantly, did they feel loved?

The next time you see a beautiful stained glass window, take a good look at it. Look at the beauty of each piece and let it speak to your heart. It just might make a difference.

Why God Became Flesh

This season commemorates the most glorious message in all of history—God became man in order to bring us into fellowship with Himself! Isaiah had prophesied, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:23).

Agnostics and theological liberals have tried to deny the miraculous virgin birth and divinity of Jesus, yet the Bible proclaims, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...and the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:1, 14). Paul declares, “God was manifest in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16). This incarnation of divinity was foretold in Scripture, “For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given...and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father” (Isaiah 9:6). “Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting” (Micah 5:2). Jesus stated, “before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58).

God became flesh in order to save us from our sin. “Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15). Our sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2). God’s perfect justice requires judgment for our sin.

“Death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12).

God loved us (John 3:16) and gave His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for all who believe and receive Him. “As many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). Will you respond to God’s love? Will you believe in Him and receive Him as your Savior, now?
