Proposed demolition of Historical Atlas Dam stuns Northampton Council By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
News that members of Northampton Borough Council learned on January 23 that there are plans to demolish the historic Atlas Dam stunned them then, and grew even more alarming as they discussed it at their semimonthly meeting on Thursday. They want to stop it, and Assistant Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst was instructed to send letters to State Representative Julie Harhart and the Martins-Jacoby Watershed Association, and anyone else who will listen that they do NOT want the dam to be demolished. That association has jurisdiction over waters in the Bangor area and not in this section of Northampton County. However, they have received a $420,900 grant from the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp. through the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection that is intended for that demolition project. The officers of the watershed group were unknown
to members of Council, but one name was, John Mauser, who is their project manager, and who has an office dealing with the environment in Lower Mt. Bethel Township. He is a former Northampton area resident. Councilman Ed Pany said on Thursday that the purpose of the Martins-Jacoby watershed group is to “protect the watershed of the Bangor area.” Pany noted that a few years ago an individual approached Council asking that they support the removal of the dam, MOORE TOWNSHIP’s Board of Supervisors are seated (l-r) Dan Piorkowski, David Tashner, but was turned down.

Sacred Heart Science Fair
School board hears audit Report, standing on finances By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Sacred Heart School in Bath recently held their annual science fair. Third place winner was Richard Turnbach, second place went to Alex Wachholz and first place was awarded to Chris Omick. -Submitted by Karen Gabryluk
Two presentations were made at Monday night’s meeting of the Northampton Area School Board. The president of Gorman & Associates, Inc. gave his report on the audit of NASD finances. He said the government no longer wants to know what you own and what you owe. There are five elements to a balance report, and Gorman said the independent
audit report shows the district is “clean.” He noted that assets were reduced over a million dollars, and commented that the audit showed there were no problems with internal control, nor with federal grants. He told the directors, “I’m constantly looking. I’m never happy as an auditor. My job is to find things that are incorrect. I commend the administration.” When asked a question by
Our Best Friends Have Hairy Legs! Pet Section - Page 8
director Dr. Michael Baird, Gorman said auditors follow state and federal standards and that accounting principals have changed. A much lengthier explanation followed. The second presentation of the night was by Ms. Jamie Doyle of Public Financial Management on the new middle school financial update. She said market conContinued on page 16

100 Days Smarter at Scared Heart in Bath Happy Valentine’s Day
Mrs. Maureen Phillips' kindergarten class at Sacred Heart in Bath celebrated being "100 days smarter" Tuesday, Feb. 11 with an array of activities to represent the big number. It's both an achievement and a lesson for them, said Phillips. "It's a bit beyond their reach, so there's a lot of math with it."

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Too bad, you Internet and online people, your prediction of a couple feet of snow over the past weekend was wrong, and all we got was an inch or two. I’m glad I’m not hooked up to this modern gadgetry and just watch the TV where the weather folks are almost always right. Sure, they use the modern technology, too, but it’s done right. They say we’re gonna have another snow fall this Wednesday night into Thursday. That I’ll believe.

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
New Diabetic Drug
You will soon be aware of the latest FDA approved drug for those that are afflicted with Type-2 diabetes. This new drug, Farxiga (dapagliflozin) does actually lower blood sugar as it is intended but that’s not all it does. I have spoken before about the 2008 research report in The New England Journal of Medicine, which concluded that individuals who were on common blood sugar lowering medicine had an increased risk of stroke, heart attack and death. Is this the trade-off you hoped for? Of course not. In case you didn’t know, medicine for diabetes in general may increase cholesterol, triglyceride and blood pressure. It shouldn’t surprise
anyone that the individuals with diabetes are most commonly on other prescriptions such as cholesterol and of course high blood medicine. Are the interactions and side effects of all three or more prescriptions worth it? It is to the drug companies. Not to worry about side effects though as we can just add more medicine right? If this discussion doesn’t get the hair on the back of your neck standing up by now then I don’t know what will. It’s a sad state of affairs that we have found ourselves in and you wonder why our country is sicker than ever. Now, getting back to Farxiga. While it will indeed lower blood sugar, it has two interesting side effects that you

may want to know about. The first is that it may/will cause genital fungal infections to occur. The second is that it will increase risk of bladder cancer. Ladies and gentleman, I couldn’t make this stuff up! When you further add the possibilities of urinary tract infections and kidney failure you have to wonder who the FDA is trying to protect, big Pharma or us? From my natural perspective, the issue isn’t specifically Farxiga or any other medicine that is on the horizon, the real issue is how do you keep yourself healthy so that you do not require synthetic chemicals to regulate your body? I have talked a lot about this in my sixteen years of practice yet I would like to know your view. So, let me ask you a question. What are five ways that you can keep yourself healthy? It is, or should be, an easy question to answer. In a future article I will discuss how everyone responded to this question. Please reply to northamptonchiro@rcn.com (subject ‘5 Healthy Ways’), or by fax to 610-837-4445, or mail a letter to my practice. I would truly like to hear your top five ways to keep yourself healthy without farxiga. My best to you.. “Natural Perspectives” is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Sweet Innovation By CAROL RITTER
Fast Company has announced The World’s Top 10 Most Innovate Companies - here are five of them and the reasons why they are “INNOVATIVE”. Nike - for a pair of revolutionary products and a culture of believers Amazon - for speeding up the delivery of change Square - for spreading the mobile payments revolution Splunk - for bringing BIG data to the masses FAB - for evolving into the destination for design wares In order to qualify, your company must be innovative and efficient. In addition, it had to occur in the last 12 months. This list is not only impressive, it glows with success. Don’t we all “LOVE” innovation, doesn’t make our lives easier, aren’t we excited about the fact that if you buy something online at Amazon, chances are you will be the recipient of their innovative delivery system? We “LOVE” it even more when it directly affects our daily life. It’s Valentine’s week AND the “BERRIES” company is offering chocolate-covered strawberries, the Vermont Teddy Bear company is telling us we cannot live without a giant Teddy Bear to cuddle at night and the restaurants are begging us to celebrate the big day with them by offering “RED DESSERTS”,
SWEETHEART COCKTAILS’ and, if that’s not enough, premier seating in their dining room with a view. STOP TREADING WATER....start dreaming about what your business could be rather than what it is. Every single one of these companies started with an idea but what they have in common is that fact that they “GET IT”. They know their customer and what makes them tick. They know how to jump inside the minds of their customers and make life easier, more accessible and fascinating on a daily business. You can do it, too. Try watching and listening to your customers, you may be surprised that their needs and desires are much different than your business plan. If you just can’t be innovative with your business,“JUST DO IT” with your Valentine! PS the other five are UBER, SPROXIL, PINTEREST, SAFARICOM, AND TARGET! Carol S.

a huge amount of other prizes were won in special drawings. All of the proceeds are divided up to benefit the July Northampton County Junior Conservation School for 14-17 year old boys and girls, Youth Field Day each June when more than 200 youngsters take part in outdoor sporting events, and the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, which awards grants of $500 each to special projects that are consistent with their mission of conservation, environment, and events that are centered on the outdoors. As of last year, more than $1-million had been raised. That went up another several thousand dollars on Saturday. The idea for the Classic originated with Gerald Seyfried and has grown into one of the most successful fundraisers in Pennsylvania. It is co-sponsored by the Federation and Youth Field Day Foundation, and has had tremendous financial backing by the Charles Chrin Companies, and other major donors like Horn’s Outdoor, Inc., Allentown Beverage, Banko Beverage, and Sam Baurkot, and other contributors, along with the hundreds of people who buy tickets each year.

Moore Township is being used by Northampton County as an example for farmland preservation. In an Historical Commission report, bricks from a barn will be used for the one-room school that will be the centerpiece for the township’s 250th anniversary celebration in 2015. Edwin Keller also said he has material.
Solicitor David Backenstoe said municipalities are encouraged to have uniform regulations regarding flood plains. It was observed that Moore Township has most of them already in effect.

Lower Mt. Bethel. Pany said the watershed association knows nothing of the local history of the dam and its relation to the Atlas Cement Company. “This is a sad day when part of our history and heritage will be gone forever,” he said. Mayor Tom Reenock said if the dam is removed there will be a virtual swamp from the Coplay Creek which flows through it and the sediment will breed insects. As it is now, the dam is a natural habitat for birds. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. said it is a bureaucracy “sticking their neck into where they shouldn’t”. He declared the DEP and EPA “useless, having the brain of a mosquito” and that the dam is an historical remembrance that will be destroyed. He compared the local project proposed by the state as similar to when Northampton was instructed to change its street signs from orange and black to green and white. Councilman Anthony Pristash urged that letters be written soon, opposing any demolition of the dam, and
questioned who may have used their power to influence the removal of a dam that is not widely known. Borough Manager Gene Zarayko said, “No one even approached Northampton about it, even though the dam is in the borough. Who researched it?” Council President John Yurish said, “It seems as if it’s a done deal.” He feels it may happen in spring as soon as the weather breaks. Zarayko and Yurish said that the Horwith family, that owns the land through which the creek flows, had no knowledge of the state grant or of plans to tear down the dam Council remarked that with money being tight, how did DEP find all this funding for so-called “waterfront” projects to improve water. In all, the DEP grants total $8,675,067 for projects in Bethlehem along the Lehigh River, Perkiomen Creek watershed stream restoration, Upper Macungie Twsp. Gateway Pines sub-basin retrofit and riparian buffer, Messinger St. in Bangor emergency storm water design, Monocacy Creek spillway and BMP retrofits in Bethlehem Twsp., Monocacy Creek Watershed

and Oxford Drives. They assert that a warehouse with 100 or more tractor-trailers a day is a truck terminal and doesn’t belong in the zone next to their residences. Atty. Joel Scheer, representing Isidore “Bill” Mineo and his wife, called for an abortion of the proceedings as he spoke in their behalf. Marles said that the conditions of the original plan in 2007 don’t exist today. It’s a smaller structure; there are other warehouses in this zone; storm water management has been figured in; residents on the Palmer Twsp. side will have more buffing from trees. Noel called a Newburg Rd. resident, Mike Buchser, to testify. He showed photos he had taken. Trucks turn right on Hanoverville Rd., and there is a warning of weight limit on a bridge. Trucks can’t turn left. A woman who lives near an-
other company’s warehouse, who is a 27-year resident, said she counted trucks coming and going. After complaining about it, she was told to call CRPD. She did several times. She also attended Lower Nazareth Twsp. meetings. Signs posted about weight limits on the bridge didn’t stop trucks from using Hanoverville Rd. west, she said. Marles pointed out that on one side of Hanoverville Rd. it is residential and on the other commercial/ industrial. A certified appraiser from Bethlehem was next to testify. He was asked by Marles if this type of use would adversely affect the local property values. The appraiser showed several thousand dollars loss in value. The amount of tractor-trailers and the diesel fumes have a bad effect, he said. On average, Val Vista homes would have a loss of 11.5% value, he told Marles. The IDI attorney crossexamined him and showed architectural renderings. The appraiser fielded questions about homes 200 yards from the warehouse. Homes are be-

The appraiser said that under Pa. state law each of the 544 tractor-trailers for IDI can idle for five minutes each. The hearing continued for hours more, but this is where the reporter had to exit for another meeting. The next Supervisors meeting was scheduled for last night (Wednesday), but the IDI question remains.

Justice
“Doing in Micah 6: 8’ When you hear the word JUSTICE, where do your thoughts go? For many of us, it takes us to the legal aspects of justice. You know, “I hope they bring that guy to justice for taking all that money.” But the bible calls us to a different kind of justice. In fact, the Old Testament prophet, Micah tells us that we have to “DO justice.” How does one DO justice? And exactly what is this kind of justice? Well it seems that Micah is calling us to action to assist others who need our help from those who hunger for food to fill their stomachs to those who hunger for love and care and peace in their chaotic world. Whether someone is struggling with trying to find a job, or someone is coping with the loss of a loved one; they need help in getting to wholeness again. This is where we, who call ourselves Christians, need to try our best to DO justice. The verse goes on to tell us that to DO justice, one must love kindness and walk humbly with our God. Now often all three of these instructions are overwhelmed by the condition of the world we live in and the people who live in it with all of us. But we have a choice. We can let it overwhelm us, or we can take action. Jesus Christ himself picks up on the theme in Matthew 5 – the Sermon on the Mount when he gives this motivational speech to his closest followers, his so-called disciples to not just sit there, but to go, get up and DO something – to help the other – the sick, the poor, the widow and the orphan, the peacemakers. To get our hands dirty as we help others. The best part of this good news and this challenge comes when we follow the instructions and feel the fulfillment that DOING brings us. So how can you and how can we DO justice, love kindness and walk humbly with our God? I pray that each of us might find a way, our way toward this most wonderful goal. I pray that it may be so for you and for those are the beneficiaries of your DOING.
