He said that winter hit hard three years in a row. In 2014 there was the second highest snowfall; 2015, the coldest on re-

cord, and now in 2016 the largest snowfall of 31.9 inches.

“We all survived. If this is the new norm for winter, one major snowstorm, I’m all for it,” Tashner told the audience.

The Longest Valentine’s Date Ever

by Kathleen Unger It was Valentine’s Day, 1958, when my fiancé and I decided to go out on a Saturday night date to visit his sister for an evening of cards and conversation. I dressed in my red taffeta Valentine’s dress for a date with my favorite beau.

My fiancé picked me up at my parent’s house about 7 p.m. and we arrived at my future sister-in-law’s home about 10 minutes later. We played several hands of pinochle and had a very pleasant visit.

Around 10:30 p.m. we prepared to leave for home when we discovered it had snowed to a depth of about five inches. The roads appeared passable, so we started out for the short two-mile trip to my parents’ home where my fiancé hoped to deliver me safe and sound.

When we approached the turnoff to my house, we discovered the road drifted shut and we were unable to travel the usual route. We decided to take the long way around through Bath.

By this time, it was snowing very heavily and we could not see the road. With the telephone poles as a guide, we were able to make our way along the highway to Moorestown, just west of my home. As we turned the corner, we plowed right into a huge snowdrift and got stuck. My fiancé tried in vain to free the car but eventually burned out the clutch.

We remembered seeing the lights of a small gas station/luncheonette a half-mile back, so we bundled ourselves in blankets and without boots, hats or gloves, we set out on foot to return to the gas station.

After we woke up the owner and explained our dilemma, he invited us in but warned us that the only place he could offer us was the living room couch. We shared opposite ends of the uncomfortable couch for the rest of the night.

The next morning we were eager to get going but the wind had piled into eight-foot drifts and the main roads were closed.

Our host’s TV was out of order so we passed the time playing Monopoly with the four children in the family. The family’s deep freezer was stocked with mostly venison, so we ate burgers made from deer meet for almost every meal.

We were stranded at the gas station for four days. Snow had drifted high and no traffic was able to move until the plows came through. On Wednesday, a local farmer came by with his tractor and offered us a ride home. Still wearing my red taffeta dress, we climbed on the back of the tractor, stood on the wagon hitch and huddled together against the driving winds as we set out for what we thought was to be our ride home.

We drove through fields about one mile to the home of my aunt and uncle. There, after a hardy supper, we spent the night. The next day the giant plows opened the road. We finally arrived at my home on Thursday, but my fiancé had to spend the night there because the snowplows broke down right in front of my house. He didn’t get home, another two miles down the road, until Friday.

What started out to be a short evening of pinochle ended up to be possibly the longest date in history. It was quite the prelude to 48 years of marriage!

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip There was no snow around here on Friday, just down in Philly and at the shore. There’s supposed to be another bit of snow this Tuesday, and maybe again on Thursday or Friday, but not that much.

Anyhow, that groundhog, Punxatawney Phil, predicted an early spring ‘cause he didn’t see his shadow. I don’t know about that.

The sun was shining here, so there are plenty of shadows. Oh well, we’ll take it. . . . All sorts of things going on this weekend with the Valentine’s Day holiday – dinner/ dances, meat raffles, a Greek dinner, and even a pork and sauerkraut supper (wasn’t that for New Year’s Day?). Even a manicure/ pedicure special. For our gals, there’s nothing too good, so enjoy, everybody! . . . .Then there’s this note I got the other day, which if it’s true is something else. Goes like this: “Some time ago, I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water! A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, as I was screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour….I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He told me to keep my hand in the flour for 10 minutes. He said, in Vietnam, there was a guy on fire and

in their panic, they threw a bag of flour on him to put the fire out. Well, it not only put the fire out, but he never even had a blister!! …Long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 minutes, pulled it out and didn’t even have a red mark or a blister and absolutely no pain!

Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself, (cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour), I use the flour and have never ever had even a red spot/burn mark, or a blister! I even burnt my tongue once, put the flour on it for about 10 minutes. The pain was gone and no burn. Try it – Experience a miracle! Keep a bag of flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did! Flour has heat absorbent property and also has a strong antioxidant property, thus it helps in burn patients if applied within 15 minutes. All I can say is, don’t burn yourself to find out if this works. But maybe Elmira oughta have an extra bag of flour in the kitchen, just in case. Usually, flour is a good ingredient for making cakes, pies, pastry, and even gravy. Now there’s another use. Hmm-m-m.

Better check with your doctor, see what he or she says about it. . . .I was happy to see that the Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl, especially if Peyton Manning is gonna retire. He hasn’t made up his mind yet, but there’s nothing wrong with leaving when you’re on top. . . . Girl Scouts are still selling cookies down at Ahart’s

BATH AREA

Lions enjoy Scenes of Bath submitted by HOME NEWS STAFF While Bath is a historical borough dating back to 1737, and is the natural hub of Northampton County, it may not be as lively as it was back in the 1800’s. This past Wednesday, Carol BearHeckman, who has an intense interest in history, and has done much research on this community since moving here in 1977, took members of the Bath Lions on a pictorial journey at their dinner meeting that showed

some of the lively festivals that drew people from Lehigh Valley cities to old-time Bath as they came here for the fresh air.

She said Bath had many small businesses in those early days because “everybody came to Bath.”

Mrs. Heckman’s photos showed the old B. F. Rohn store on Chestnut Street, the Bath Cornet Band, Moses Cigar Factory, and Castle Hall, which at one time was the Bath Kirche, and Lou Schaeffer’s Home-made Candies store. The Bath Hotel,

now the Red Wolf Inn, opened on June 28, 1894, and was one of three hotels in the borough, the others being the former American Hotel and Slate Exchange Hotel. Scenes of churches as they were in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s were shown, as well as the Siegfried Log Cabin of the 1700’s. Mrs. Heckman said that a $17,000 grant will help repair the west wall of the cabin on W. Main Street.

Two public events this year, may return some of that festival spirit – Community Days on July 21 to 24 at Keystone Park and Firefighters Park, and the Spuds and Suds Festival in August that will be held on South Chestnut Street and part of West Main Street. This also part of the historic district in Bath was formed in 1972. The population of the borough now is 2,721.

The Lions thanked her for the program, in which they learned a lot about this community that they didn’t know before.

Mrs. Heckman, a former teacher, and her husband Darrin have been leading persons in bringing in businesses to S. Chestnut St., and have been active with the Gov. Wolf Historical Society and its annual Christmas House Tour, Bath Business & Community Partnership, Bath Farmers Market, and Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce. She is a member and past vice president of Bath Borough Council.

Other Items Rev. Jay Wetzel presided at the meeting. It was announced that there will be a Lions zone meeting hosted by a Region 3 club in the Nazareth area on March 7.

The District 14-K cabinet will have a breakfast meeting on Saturday, Feb. 20 in the Bethlehem Township Community Center.

On May 21 the Bath Lions will have an all-you-can-eat pancake fest at Applebee’s Restaurant on Rt. 248. Tickets will be available soon from the Lions, said Lion Kyle Grube.

The club approved a $50 donation to the Minsi Trails Boy Scouts, who will have an awards banquet at the BarnHouse Village west of Bath on April 14.

On July 6 to 9, the Bath Lions will have a bingo concession at the Northampton Exchange Club’s annual Community Days Fair.

and regulations for use of the recreational area. He received approval from the supervisors for softball tournaments that will be held June 25 and 26, July 9 and 10, and July 30 and 31.

Secretary-treasurer Richard Gable said a representative from the Gun Owners Association of America inquired about guns in the park, and was told that there is no hunting allowed there.

• Gable and Tashner will put together a safety program, with that authorization given by the board. It will cover everyone employed by the township. A safety committee will investigate any incidents.

• Solicitor David Backenstoe will meet with township engineer Kevin Horvath regarding setbacks before the PennEast natural gas pipeline comes through Moore Township, to come up with some guidelines on rationally created distances. Tashner said the pipeline people were very cordial when he told them of their concerns.

• Paul Martin of Wildlands Conservancy met with the township’s Environmental Advisory Council, it was reported.

• A member of the zoning hearing board asked the supervisors for contact information on all township officials.

Over 35 Yrs. Experience

• Resident Mario Pasquariello reported on thefts at his property that were discovered after he came home from a trip. When he went into detail, Tashner told him the matter was not suitable to discuss in public, and that he will have Police Chief Gary West contact him. When Pasquariello also noted an appraisal done on his house that was built before zoning, Tashner told him to contact Zoning Office Jason Kelhart.

Fire Co. Report Kelhart, who is also fire recorder for the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co., gave reports for all of 2015 and for the past month of January.

During the past year, the unit responded to 235 fire calls, needing 3,152 man-hours. They also had 689 ambulance calls with 2,750 man-hours. In addition, 2,043 man-hours were spent in fire and ambulance training, along with 309 man-hours in first aid and CPR to youths and adults.

For January, 25 fire calls (four fires, two accidents, six fire alarms, five ambulance assists, and two mutual aids, two odor investigations, one horse rescue, one pump detail, one tree down, and one smoke investigation) took 912 man-hours by the fire company. The 62 ambulance calls needed 248 man-hours.

They had 294 man-hours of fire and ambulance training.

NORTHAMPTON AREA

Northampton officials Happy with response to Record snow

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Public works chairman Robert McHale gave a “hats off” to the road crew, and all who helped in the unusual, record snowfall of some 31-plus inches on Jan. 2324, as he reported to Northampton Borough Council on Thursday night.

It was the worst single snow event the borough has experienced in Borough Manager Gene Zarayko’s 30 years here.

Ten snowplows ran 24/7 for 60 hours, and personnel of the water authority, fire personnel and private contractors helped the road crew. McHale said he thought everyone worked very well. Assistant Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst said there were a number of complaints, but when they realized that the borough would get there as soon as possible they were happy and relieved.

• On Thursday, Council approved lending the borough’s portable band trailer for four special events – Hanover Township, May 11-14; South Whitehall Twsp., June 3, 24 and July 22; St. Elizabeth Church, Fullerton, June 10-11; and Christ U.C.C. Church, Little Moore, Danielsville, August 20. The borough charges $100 for delivery and pick-up to non-profit groups.

In Hanover’s case, they use their own personnel. McHale also suggested they make a donation to the local food bank, and to make sure there is insurance coverage.

Ironically, the band stage trailer was originally owned by South Whitehall, and Northampton bought it at an auction.

• Councilwoman Julia Kutzler for fire and health reported that Miller’s Diner has re-opened following an inspection. . .A shipment of 1,000 ft. of fire hose has been received and the cost divided between firemen’s relief and the borough. . .She also noted a fire hydrant program, and a flag was suggested for each hydrant. . . Noted a need to recruit junior firefighters. . .She would like to have the fire department and other volunteers check on the elderly who may be handicapped or suffer from alzheimers disease.

• Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. reported that of $500,00 that Northampton had for housing rehab between three communities, $438,384 was spent. Receiving the HOME grant money were 21 homeowners in Northampton, five in North Catasauqua and one in Allen Township.

• Councilman Tony Pristash reported that AARP began their free tax-aid program on Feb. 1 and it will continue through April 11, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the recreation center.

• Approval was given for the Northampton Exchange Club to have the 68th annual Jack Frost Parade on Thursday, Oct. 20. Because of the parade on their regular meeting night, Council will meet Wednesday of that week.

Instead, he was called up to the Philadelphia Flyers due to an injury to Flyers forward Sean Couturier.

It wasn’t the first time he got the call, as he made his NHL debut last March – appearing in 11 games and going pointless while playing a fourth line role.

It wasn’t even his first NHL recall this season – he played four games with the Flyers back in late November, early December.

----------------------We are really proud of him ... He’s worked his rear end off to get there.

Brian Cousins, Nick’s father -----------------------

This time around, Cousins is getting a prime opportunity on the Flyers’ 2nd line between Sam Gagner and Brayden Schenn.

He tallied his first career NHL point, an assist, Sunday against the Washington Capitals. With Couturier expected to miss four weeks, it’s Cousins’ best chance to prove he belongs in the NHL. No one is more proud of Cousins’ achievements than his parents. His father, Brian, made the trip to Syracuse, New York – a three hour drive from their home in Belleville, Ontario - to watch his son participate in the AHL All-Star Challenge.

Brian recalled Nick’s childhood when he first began playing hockey during a Belleville winter.

“He learned how to play hockey in our in-ground pool,” Brian said of his son Nick. “In the winter it would freeze and he and his brother would come home from school, put on their skates and play hockey on the 16x32 in-ground pool. They’d come in and eat and they wouldn’t take their skates off so they could go back out there. I had to put flood lights and everything out there.

That would be every day.”

Brian also reminisced of watching Nick and his older brother Mike playing hockey on the fro-

zen harbor near their house.

“I remember I use to drive him and his brother down. It would be at night. I’d give them one puck and say I’m going to get the hot chocolate,” Brian recalled.

“I’d go get the hot chocolate and sit in the car and watch them play for hours, just the two of them.”

Every hockey player has a journey. For Nick Cousins, it’s been four years in the OHL and another two and a half in the AHL with the Phantoms before his first real chance on an NHL roster. The goal of every AHL player is to get that chance in the NHL. Once that chance is earned, it’s up to the player to do everything in his control to stay there.

“We are really proud of him,” Brian said of Nick. “He’s worked his rear end off to get there and all the issues – good and bad – hopefully all the good is coming.”

Phantoms’ Postseason Clock Ticking After a five-game win streak

heading into the break brought the Phantoms back into the playoff conversation, back-to-back losses last weekend has the team back into the hole they had just began climbing out of heading into the All-Star break.

“This is clutch hockey now.

You have to show up every night, there's not going to be any easy games - any easy shifts,” forward Aaron Palushaj said after last Saturday’s loss in Hershey. “It really differentiates the players who want to play at this time of the year and into playoffs and players who don't. Going into these last 28 games, we have to take it one game at a time but really come out and give it all we have every single night.”

Up Next The Phantoms begin a lengthy home stand which sees them play their next five games, and seven of their next eight, on home ice at the PPL Center starting Wednesday night when they host the Continued on page 15

Keeping warm this winter may require the use of a portable space heater. Follow these guidelines when purchasing and using a portable heater: Only buy models that meet the UL safety features. Choose one that is thermostatically controlled to avoid energy waste of overheating a room. Select a heater of the proper size for the room you wish to heat. Locate the heater on a level surface away from foot traffic.

Keep children and pets away. Buy an electrical unit with a tip-over safety switch, which automatically shuts off the heater if tipped over.

Electrical heaters should be plugged directly into the wall outlet. For liquid filled heaters, use only the approved fuel – never gasoline! Never fill a heater that is still hot, and do not over fill. Check out portable heaters at Miller Supply Ace Hardware!

The Fatal Choice

Two Africans were paddling their dugout down the peaceful waters of the beautiful, blue Zambezi River. Suddenly there was a heavy thud and the dugout shook violently causing both men to lose their balance and fall into the water. Then a vicious crocodile surfaced. Both of the paddlers, now struggling in the water, knew they were facing death. One of the men remembered a village elder’s advice that if he were ever in a crocodile-infested river, he should swim under water, against the current, as the crocodile always looks downstream for his prey. This he did, and after some strenuous swimming he safely got to shore. The other man thought he would make better time if he swam with the current. Nearing the shore he touched bottom and quickly ran for the bank.

He almost made it--but not quite. The bloodthirsty reptile had been following him, and just a few feet from the shore it caught his leg and dragged him under water. That was the last the man was ever seen.

This is the mistake many are making with respect to their soul's destiny. They are going with the current, taking the way of least resistance. In the end they will discover it has been a fatal choice. The Bible says, "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:12). God's ways are often incomprehensible to our finite, human minds. God says, "as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:9). This is why the prophet Isaiah said, "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon" (v.7). God's way of salvation is Jesus Christ.

There is no other way (see www.naog.ws/theway.htm). If you will admit your need of salvation, confess your sins to God, and receive Jesus into your heart by faith, you will be saved!
