Chapman School. My uncle split the slate and my father dressed them. I was hired when I was 17 years old. I carried water to wet the slate blocks so they could be cut. I also went to the hand pump across from the present borough hall filling buckets of water to quench the thirst of the quarry workers.”

I asked him how much he was paid. He said, “At first I wasn’t paid anything. I was there to learn the quarry jobs. One day their foreman, Owen Jones, went to my dad and said he needed a ‘dresser,’ and to put me at the machine. I said with this new social security law I had to be 18 and I didn’t have a card. Owen said, ‘We will fix that, we will put your pay in your father’s pay envelope,’ and so he did. We worked on the piece rate. I needed plenty of experience to make money.

Twenty-five dollars would be good money for five nine-hour

By KERI LINDENMUTH When local organizations hold a community event, Northampton Borough’s portable band shell is a popular addition to the celebration. Since 1998, the borough has rented it out so that concerts can be held and bands can perform for area residents at fairs, festivals and community days.

With requests for rentals of the band shell rising, especially with the warmer weather of spring inching closer, the Northampton Borough Council worked to finalize guidelines and procedures for the band shell’s rental during its monthly meeting on Thursday, February 16.

One issue that arose during the proceedings, however, was where profit from the band shell’s rentals can be donated. Some members of council, led by Councilman Robert McHale, advocated for donations to be made to the Northampton Area Food Bank.

However, other members of council disagreed.

Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst wanted to see profits donated somewhere else.

“It is a little bit of overkill… the borough gave them [the food bank] the land they are built on.”

Councilmen Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr., Anthony Lopsonzski, Jr., and Edward Pany were in agreement with Brobst. They

Looking by Back Ed Pany Third in a series- Clyde Roberts Remembers (Originally published in 2002)

This week, I continue my visit to the Borough of Chapman’s.

Today, Clyde Roberts, a lifetime resident, shares his memories with our Home News readers.

Mr. Roberts walked from his Main Street residence to the borough hall to meet me and undergo cross-examination. Clyde, a genial man, has a great memory of the “slate” village.

His grandfather, father and Clyde all worked in Chapman’s

slate quarries. Clyde was born October 9, 1922. A neighbor midwife delivered him, like many of the youngsters there. Mr. Roberts attended the Chapman’s school for eight years (today the residence of the Dymond family).

I asked him about his father.

He replied, “My father William started at the quarry when he was 12 or 13. He left the school when he was in the sixth grade at the

Sisters of the Swish

Anniversaries in Bath were always cause for big celebrations. A big parade, parties and speeches were just part of a week full of festivities. "Sisters of the Swish" and "Brothers of the Brush" were the names given to groups of women and men that banded together through work, church or social groups. The "Sisters of the Swish" would don colonial bonnets and long dresses (the swish part, I think) and the "Brothers of the Brush" would sport derbies, bow ties and grow long beards

(the brush part). The groups came up with clever names like The Church Belles of St. John's Church, Biss Bee Queens of First National Bank, Mary's Fashion Merry Belles or the Bearded Prophets of Christ Church, the Broadway Barons of Wunderler's Market and the Legion Hairs.

Open this past Saturday, the museum received another donation. Brian Sterner brought in to the museum the dress worn by his mother, Arlene (Hummel) Sterner, in 1962 when she was a

Sister of the Swish. She was part of the group called the "Town & Country Gals.” In the group photograph she is seated in the second row, third from the left. Still pinned to the dress is the button that all the members of the group wore. Think of all the time and talent that went into making those 32 matching dresses, hats and purses.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

Appreciation For Life

Would you agree with me that as the years are moving along you find yourself appreciating life and all that it entails more and more? I hope you do, otherwise what’s the point? As I approach my fifth decade on our floating marble, I now find myself routinely saying, “when I was your age…” to my children with increasing frequency. I am reasonably sure that the disinterested facial response I receive back is similar to what I conveyed back to my father.

Jest aside, I believe that each decade of life brings a fresh perspective and appreciation on many different levels. Perhaps these ever newly evolving perspectives can loosely be defined as maturity, discernment, or dare I say, wisdom. Whichever term you would like to coin, I would simply say that as we experience everything under heaven we are changed by it. My hope would optimistically be that the change is leaning to the good and not the alternative. With that said, we all know life can be challenging and that’s putting it mildly.

All through this human experience one thing remains the same, we stay in the same body we were born into. The body does morph and cells die off and regenerate, so I guess one could say that it truly is not the same body; yet from our first to last breath we are in the same body we started out in. On that we can all agree. Since this is an irrefutable fact of nature, may I suggest that no matter your current state of health or lack thereof, that you start taking really good care of the physical body you have been gifted.

If you are in the best shape and health of your life or in terrible

from this point forward and dare I say, when you do you will feel so much better.

What matters is that you are aware that your body is amazing.

Your body has this innate desire to be healthy. It desires health and healing. In fact, your body is in a perpetual state of fixing you every single moment of the day and night. It never stops working for your benefit. You

just need to start helping your body to help you and stop hurting your body’s ability to help you. The rest is on autopilot. 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.

Simply Taxes TAX PREPARATION health, at this moment our talk would still be the same which is, nurture your body. The reason I say this is because we find ourselves, as a society, as one that has seen an epidemic of disease created around our out-of-balance lifestyles. It’s a hard pill to swallow.

What we now accept as “no big deal” inconveniences later become bigger problems down the road. Can you think of any of the “minor” health issues I could be referencing? How about elevated blood pressure?

How about elevated triglycerides? What do you think about high blood sugar or a diagnosis of fatty liver? These are lifestyle abnormalities that we shrug off, take a pill or two for, and go on our merry way thinking everything is fine. It isn’t.

I think we all, self-included, need to be reminded that our bodies do the healing, not prescription drugs. In fact, drugs cause a lot of problems, some 50,000 opioid deaths last year for example. My own mother just attended a funeral for a dear friend who passed due to complications of the long-term prescription drug used to suppress her chronic pain. Very upsetting.

It turns out my mother was on the same drug. She hasn’t taken it since the funeral and we are

Ninth Annual Benefit Antiques Show For Governor Wolf Historical Society

Barbara Schwarz, Dave Koch, Bernie Dreher, Carol Alfred, Brian Hart, Jean Torrie and Marsha Batts. All proceeds from the show will go toward the major restoration presently underway on the Ralston McKeen House. A dream for many years has been to restore the original kitchen wing of the house. An architect was hired to examine the building and draw up plans. A restoration contractor was chosen and phase one of the project is under way, consisting of removing the second story frame addition, reconstructing the lower roofline, rebuilding the walk-in fireplace on its original foundation and rebuilding the stone end wall which was partially removed when the original fireplace was torn out. Cedar shakes have been installed on the new lowered roof.

Phase one has been fully funded by members, fundraisers and a partial grant. Phase two will consist of interior finishes, including millwork, floors, a staircase, restoring entrance doors and trim, plastering walls, plaster repairs to existing walls, painting, finishing the fireplace, exterior pointing and miscellaneous work to complete this wing.

During the show there will be ongoing demonstrations and tasting, of open hearth cooking and an appraisal clinic of antiques Sunday in the society’s museum. Appraisals will be conducted from 1 until 3 p.m. on Sunday by Charlette Schneck, a certified appraiser.

The cost for the verbal appraisals is $5 per item (in addition to admission fee), with a limit of two items per person. Please call 610-390-0555 to reserve an appraisal time.

There is ample parking on the property and food will be provided by the Daily Grind of Bath in the Schoolhouse Cafe. Admission is $6 (or $5 with this article), good for both days. The campus is located at 6600 Jacksonville Road, Bath. For information, go to www.govwolf.org or call Carol at 610-390-0555.

Moore Township EAC completes Stewardship And Access Plan

Submitted by PETER LOCKE The Moore Township EAC has completed their Stewardship and Access Plan for the Township’s Appalachian Park. The Moore Township Appalachian Park covers 168 acres and is located on Skunk Road near Smith Gap Road. The Appalachian Trail runs just north of the property and much of it is surrounded by State Game Lands. The parks location on the southern slope of Blue Mountain makes it an important part of the Kittatinny Ridge Conservation Area.

The development of the Plan was approved under the direction of the Township Board of Supervisors. It was crafted by Wildlands Conservancy of Emmaus along with EAC members and volunteers. Funding was provided by the township along with a grant administered by the D&L National Heritage Corridor.

The Stewardship and Access plan provides the township with a guide for future development and expanded use of the park by township residents. While the primary purpose of the park will remain as a source of passive recreation, the plan identifies a number of opportunities to improve and extend trails, correct legacy issues, while exploring educational and research partnerships.

“This project was completed in partnership with the Lehigh Valley Greenways Conservation Landscape. Funding was provided in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation, Environmental Stewardship Fund, administered

by Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Inc.”

Grow UR Biz Can you imagine your business guaranteeing the public that every single day they will be greeted by a friendly, smiling, knowledgeable staff member and never have one single, unhappy guest? I think if you’re a small business and can do that 90% of the time, you are doing pretty great. You have to work hard at it and be willing to dedicate time and resources to having a trained, knowledgeable staff. As I have said many times, your staff is your first customer.

Here’s what we know:

1. The customer demands better services.

2. The customer has more access to information.

3. The customer of today demands a rapid response.

Having said that, it just makes sense to focus on these three things when running a business.

The obvious is great product or service and cash flow. But, number one might be making your staff feel appreciated, trained and supported. Here are six strategies:

1. Intentionally change and improve the company culture.

2. Address your fear of failure (this is the number one reason why people don’t change).

3. Hire big personalities. They will take you to the next level if you treat them right and they are more likely to take risks.

4. Focus on strength building rather than staff weaknesses.

5. Training, training, training - teach your staff how they can be your number one advocate.

6. Celebrate success all year long- reward, thank, appreciate, acknowledge and show interest in your staff.

Most of us could easily imagine a friendly, smiling, knowledgeable staff member. As a matter of fact, we would love to see that every day when we leave our homes to purchase products or services.

And today, with so many online services, you may not see a smile but you will recognize a company that goes over and above to get you and keep you as a customer.

I’ve always believed the following as a speaker: “The audience runs the showmy clients are in charge- selfawareness is key and a marketing system is essential.”

Perhaps we might take this quote and change it to…

The customer runs the showour customers are in charge - our own self-awareness is key and a marketing system is essential.

Meeting Cancelled as President falls; Events planned

by HOME NEWS STAFF Last week’s meeting of the Bath Lions Club was cancelled after club president Melissa Grube had an accidental fall down a flight of stairs. It was not known the extent of her injuries.

The next meeting will be a breakfast session because of Lent.

It will be on Saturday, March 4 at 8:30 a.m. in the Town & Country Restaurant. There will be a nomination of officers for the 2017-2018 Lions year. The second meeting will be at the same location on March 18 at the same hour, but on daylight saving time, which begins on March 12. The Bath Lions are planning to sponsor an all-you-can-eat

breakfast fund-raiser on May 20 at Applebee’s along Route 191.

Tickets will be available.

Also in the planning is a membership drive on June 21, when a movie by the late Frank Haidle about Bath will be shown. The public is invited, as the club is striving for more members to make its 90th anniversary in 2018 successful so they can better serve the community.

After that, the Lions will participate in Bath Borough’s Spuds & Suds Festival on August 26.

Third annual Chestnut Street Antiques Show March 4

Submitted by JULIA SWAN On Saturday, March 4, there will be a one-day antique show only a mile and a half from the Governor Wolf Historical Society show.

Historic South Chestnut Street in Bath is undergoing an exciting rejuvenation. In just the last five years, five new shops have opened on the block, ranging from all antiques to repurposing and art. Every building on this block dates between 1799 and 1899, and restoration of the exteriors is starting to occur.

The show will be held in Fellowship Hall and several other rooms of the church. There will be 20-plus exhibitors featuring prints, books, local advertising, primitives, country furniture, textiles, folk art, early tools, toys, china, glass, blue decorated stoneware, jewelry, kitchen items and more.

days and a half day on Saturday.”

Clyde also remembered, “The Lehigh and New England Railroad ran up to the quarry. The railroad moved tons of our slate to big city projects, like buildings in New York City. I took the train to Bath to visit relatives but not very often. My father finally purchased his first car, a 1938 Plymouth, but he never drove, so I ended up driving.”

I asked him about the depression. “Times were tough so I helped farmers make hay and pick potatoes. I earned $2 a day but had to wait for my money until the farmers sold the crops.

They always paid me.”

Clyde, who did your father vote for in 1932? He said, “I doubt if he voted for Franklin Roosevelt.

Pop was a solid Republican and voted for Hoover.”

“The quarry was idle and my

February 23-March 1, 2017 5

father used a sledge hammer to break rocks for roads. The Workers Progress Administration was giving laid off men jobs building roads. My dad worked at the slate company for years. He never received a pension. I remember when he got that first social security check. It was for $138.”

Mr. Roberts continued, “My father liked his job. He had no choice but to work in the quarries, for all his relatives lived here, so he couldn’t leave or the relatives might hunt him down.”

During my long discussion with Mr. Roberts I said, “Clyde, you are a very nice man for answering all of my questions.”

With eyes beaming full of wit he said, “If I’m nice is debatable.”

Clyde, you really are!

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip How do you like this warmer weather we’re having? It’s not spring yet, but this is a good introduction to it. Maybe March will come in like a lamb, and be a little windy as the coming month ends. We’ll see. It’s great when the sun shines and gives us all a shot of Vitamin D . . . . Elmira and Pete enjoyed a pig stomach dinner this past Sunday, the 19th, up at the Schnecksville Fire Co. The Lions Club in that area sponsored it. As the Pennsylvania Dutch folks go by the boards, that’s what’s been happening to seimaage. It was a treat we haven’t enjoyed in years.

We even had seconds! Thanks to Ruthann Krause and her helpers as they prepared the stuffing and stuff and sewed the stomachs . . . . Nice to see our own Bath mayor of Italian descent giving an award to two others of foreign heritage, and they didn’t hafta worry about emigration. . . .I hear the former Peggy Tanzos has passed away out in California. She was 75. It’s hard to believe, ‘cause I remember her pop, Lewie Tanzos, at his Main Street store in Bath. It was located where the Daily Grind deli is now. Her sister Helen usta work at the Bath bank. . . . I see the Klecknersville Rangers firemen are gonna have a Sportsman Bingo and Chinese Auction on March 24 to help pay for fireworks when Moore Township has its Community Days. They usually have a nice crowd at their Bingo on Tuesdays, but this is a special one ‘cause fireworks aren’t cheap. Let’s fill the hall!! . . . .

Carol Heckman said in her recent museum column that the former First National Bank of Bath (now Wells Fargo) was sandwiched between two houses. I’m not sure anymore, but was it Jack Clarke’s barbershop and the Barthol / Biery homes? . . . . Spring training has opened down in Clearwater, Florida for our beloved Phillies.

This is the first year in a while without any 2008 World Series champs on the squad. That’s sorta strange, I think. I hear a few of our winter snowbirds will be sitting in the stands to see the players work out and get ready for the baseball season. . . . Okay, gang - time to hit the hay. Talk to you next week.

Memories of Pappy’s house

I drove past my Pappy’s house last week and it brought back some fond memories of visiting my grandparents when I was a little girl.

Every Sunday afternoon, it was our routine to drive to Capella to visit my many cousins and have some fun time together. Daddy and my uncles sat on the porch

www.HomeNewsPA.com

and chatted while my mother and her sisters gathered in the kitchen. My cousins and I played out in the yard and in the “summerhouse.”

The summerhouse was used by my grammy and previous owners to cook foods in summertime so as not to heat up the house. It was a smaller version of the kitchen in the main house with a spiral stairway leading to an open room on the second floor. We kids used to play in the summerhouse, exploring the second floor and chasing each other around the building.

I recall one Sunday while playing we loaded one of the younger cousins in a Red Flyer wagon and pulled her around the yard. We obviously went too fast around a corner and dumped the little girl out of the wagon. She lay there on the ground, crying and we did not know what to do so we ran into the house and told our mothers that she fell out of the wagon. Her momma came out and picked her up and she was taken in the house for calming down. I wonder if she remembers the incident.

We also played in the “smokehouse,” a building used in the fall for smoking the hams, sausages and other pork items that had been butchered for winter. My mother told the story that during the summer when the smokehouse was not in use for smoking meat, she and her sister would use it as a playhouse for their dolls.

Their father would charge them five cents rent to use the playhouse. If they could not pay the rent, he would take all their dolls and their little doll clothes and throw them out of the building.

He was a mean landlord.

They would earn money for the rent by selling bones and rags to ragman who came around once a month to buy these items. He would pay the girls five or 10 cents for a bag of rags. How poor they were but they did survive.

World Spay Day is February 28

American Heart Association Loves St. Luke’s babies’ hearts Submitted by MARIELLA MILLERA Babies born in February at St. Luke’s University Health Network will be the stylish recipients of red hats provided by generous volunteer knitters who have donated thousands of their creations to the American Heart Association.

The AHA delivered 300 lovingly crafted hats to St. Luke’s on February 3 to remind parents that February is heart month and to draw attention to the issue of congenital heart defects. “Mostly driven by social media, the program started in the Midwest but has become a national initiative,” says Dawn Fernandez, social events director for the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the American Heart Association.

“Two years ago, Pennsylvania legislators passed a law requiring all newborns to receive a pulse oximetry test that detects many congenital heart defects,” Fernandez says. The test is useful for identifying conditions that, if undetected, could cause future issues.

“Our knitters get very creative,” she says, “Some have knitted little hearts into the pattern and others use sparkly yarn. We provide a pattern to follow and directions for different sizes of hats. Some of the

smallest hats you’ve ever seen are for preemies and then we provide directions to make hats for nine and 10-pound babies, too.”

St. Luke’s nurses are very excited about distributing the hats to the families on the labor and delivery floors, she says, and the AHA gets thanks-yous from them saying they feel “honored to be a part of the event,” Fernandez says.

Jared King, St. Luke’s Women’s and Children’s Service Administrator is grateful for the effort, the hats and the program.

“St. Luke’s is incredibly appreciative of the American Heart Association and its kind volunteers who have devoted endless hours to knitting these hats, ultimately raising awareness about congenital heart defects with families across the region. This directly aligns with our continuous focus to identify congenital heart defects prenatally and care for those affected throughout their lives as children and adults,” King said.

The little red hats bring smiles to everyone’s faces and help keep babies warm as they leave for home in the chilly February weather.

“We want to thank all of our knitters,” Fernandez says, “Without them, this wouldn’t happen.”

Band Shell

Continued from page 1

believed that the profit could instead be donated to the local rec center, which would benefit all citizens, they argued. Or, at least in the opinion of Councilman Lopsonzski, Sr., organizations renting the band shell should be given a choice of who they can donate to.

Councilwoman Judy Kutzler opposed the three men.

“I do not see how you can make a comparison between a rec center and hungry people,” she said.

The food bank, she argued, greatly benefits the borough because borough residents use the food bank and “they are forever grateful.”

Councilman McHale agreed.

“The food bank charges no one...unlike other organizations.

It is all volunteer,” he said, following up with describing the food bank and its mission as “admirable” and deserving of the “potential of donations.”

After the passionate discussion in which council seemed to be torn in two, the decision on whether or not to adopt the band shell’s guidelines as written came down to a vote. Four members voted in favor and three voted against, resulting in the food bank’s potential for donations staying intact.

Other issues on the agenda for the evening included considering several requests for borough police officers to attend training classes, which council unanimously approved. Council also approved the purchase of an ad in the Northern Valley District Good Scout Dinner program.

During councilmember comments, Councilman Pany brought up several housing developments being planned for the borough, including new apartments in the Central Building, Northampton’s first high school.

“The building is very solid. It

would be great to see that utilized…[and] see some money put into that building,” he said.

“We should do everything possible to work with them…you know how I dread empty buildings.”

The next council meeting will be held on the first Thursday in March.

Refuse a Pardon?

In 1830, George Wilson was sentenced by a U.S. Court in Philadelphia to be hanged for robbing the mail, and for murder.

Andrew Jackson was president and at the request of many of Wilson’s friends, he issued a pardon for Wilson. But Wilson startled the world by refusing to accept the pardon. The issue became: Should the sheriff accept the court’s decision and hang Wilson, or should he accept the Presidential pardon and release him? The Supreme Court handed down the decision which read: “A pardon is a paper, the value of which depends upon its acceptance by the person implicated. It is hardly to be supposed that one under the sentence of death, would refuse a pardon, but if it is refused, it is no pardon. George Wilson must hang.” And Wilson was hanged.

You may agree that Wilson was a fool for refusing to accept the pardon, but do you reject the pardon which God has provided you? The Bible teaches that all are under the sentence of sin and condemned to hell eternally, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) But God is offering a pardon because Jesus died for you. It is hardly to be supposed that you would reject the pardon of God’s love which Jesus purchased on Calvary--but if you do reject that offer, it is no pardon--you will have to pay the penalty for sin yourself. God pleads, “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. 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” (Isaiah 55:6-7). Do not foolishly reject God’s pardon! Accept Christ now!

If such owner and/or driver, within 7 days after delivery, mailing or leaving of such notice, pays the Treasurer of the Borough the sum of $25 for the violation, the same will constitute full satisfaction for the violation noted in said notice.

Each day that a violation exists shall constitute a separate violation. The failure of such owner and/or driver to make payment within seven days shall render such owner and/ or driver subject to the penalties as provided herein.

If such owner and/or driver makes payment following the expiration of 7 days, but prior to the filing of a complaint with the District Magistrate on account of such violation, the sum of $35 shall be in full satisfaction of such violation. §706.
