Memories of Phoenix Portland Cement
50 cents
Bath Borough Council Convenes despite ice by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
by ED PANY For this second column, (the first ran in last week’s edition ed.) I spoke to Kevin Reichel, Northampton Funeral Home owner, about his family’s roots in an area of Nazareth called Phoenix, named after the Phoenix Portland Cement Co. It was the home to many ethnic cement workers. Joining in the interview were two Nazareth men with Phoenix connections, Dale Kocher and Ron Keppel. They recalled, “Wood St. was kind of a dividing line between Nazareth and Phoenix. Many years ago the police rarely came to Phoenix, they left the people settle their own issues.” I asked if there were any taverns, years ago they were called “Tap Rooms.” When did you last hear that term? They described some interesting locations. One interesting venue was, “The Irish Club,” but it was devoid of any Irishmen. It officially was called the “Young Men’s Club.” It was unique to say the least. One room was rented in a home. There were three tables, which were the scene
of lively card games. They had a state liquor license and operated on the honor system. The club eventually had a membership of 50 people. There were no regular hours; you walked in when you wanted to. There was a cash register, but you paid for your beer or liquor using the honor system. Can you imagine that today? The cash drawer would always be empty. Finally, the Liquor Control Board suspended their license until they purchased a new cash register and introduced a book keeping system. They complied and the club was back in business. On a humorous note, on occasions they would receive phone calls for the YMCA in Nazareth, asking when their gym would be open. Behind the club, Italian men would play games of Bocce Ball. Women were denied membership but could be found at party events. The young men’s club aged with time. In 1990, membership declined to only four members and the 70-yearold club ceased operation when Continued on page 10
All members of Bath Borough Council were present on Monday night despite the frigid weather outside. Everyone else, except this reporter, stayed home. There was to have been the annual public meeting on the storm management plan, but with no one present to discuss it, everything will remain as it exists now. The agenda had included a summary of 2014, consideration of what anyone had submitted in writing concerning it, and any public input in making adjustments for 2015. Three ordinances that had been advertised were approved unanimously. They include: Providing for the audit of the accounts of the borough by an independent auditor (France, Anderson, Basile & Co., CPA was appointed); permitting a commercial communications tower mounted on an attachment structure or on a proposed support structure; and establishing Bank Street as one way (which was necessitated upon the addition of Dunkin’ Donuts at the rear of Wells Fargo Bank). Council voted to purchase a 1999 John Deere loader from the Bath Borough Authority for the borough. Three people were re-appointed to official positions: Derick Edelman as a member of the Property Maintenance Code Board of Appeals; Elizabeth Fields, as an alternate to that post; and Marlene Bender, as a member of the Zoning Hearing Board. Approval was given to seeking a $1,735 grant from the Pa. Municipal Assistance program. It was reported that someone had “a bad night” and knocked over several sign posts along Keim
Street recently. Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman reported two new businesses in the borough, and distributed a pamphlet entitled, “A Guide to Historic Bath and Surrounding Areas,” updated for 2015. Councilwoman Jennifer George noted that the parks committee would be meeting tonight (Thursday). Among topics discussed will be two proposals made by Mayor Fi Mirabito: Planting of a tree and placing a plaque near it in memory of Emily Mast DeFrancesca at Ciff Cowling Park, where the young woman worked so hard with an athletic team. The tree will be one of several secured through the 2015 TreeVitalize planting grant. Also to be discussed will be a proposed dog park, in which volunteer dog owners would maintain it. One suggested location was on grounds near Firefighters Park. Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts voiced concern about cars parking on the east side of S. Walnut St., citing the dangers from heavy traffic. Although Borough Manager Tom Petrucci said Colonial Regional Police said it is legal, members of Council thought it dangerous, and this will be discussed further. Council president Robert Fields gave the CRPD report. He was elected chairman of the commission; Glenn Walbert of Hanover Twsp., vice chairman, and Martin Boucher of Lower Nazareth, secretary-treasurer. Applications are being screened for an additional officer. CRPD is presently short-handed, with one officer having been hit by a car during an investigation at Continued on page 7

Find a CSA Near You! Submitted by KELLY BOND Penn State Extension has developed a searchable CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) map of Pennsylvania. You can find this map on the Penn State Extension Lehigh County website under “Spotlight”: http://tinyurl.com/ csamap15 . Then enter your address in the search box to find a CSA near you. When you click on a green bubble in the map, the CSA's contact information will pop up. This map will be continually updated as Penn State Extension adds more CSA's. This is one great, timely tool to gain access to our abundant, safe and nutritious local food. What is a CSA? Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a concept designed to encourage relationships between consumers and growers and for consumers to become more knowledgeable about the way their food is grown. A CSA involves consumers who support a farmer financially by paying for a share of the farm's production prior to each growing season. CSAs range from smaller operations with three to twenty members to larger CSAs with hundreds of members or subscribers.
Some CSA's have pick-up locations at one or more spots in the community in addition to, or in lieu of pick up at the farm. The benefit to the consumer is the opportunity to obtain fresh, local produce, meats, eggs, and more from farmers in their communities. Direct-to-consumer farm marketing addresses the concern that the average distance that food travels from farm to consumer in the United States is approximately 1,300 miles, and participating in a CSA is one way to lessen the miles our food travels between a farm and our family table. Another advantage of obtaining food locally is that the money stays within the local community. The CSA arrangement allows farmers to buy the seeds, transplants, and other things they need for the growing season, and pay their farm labor without waiting until harvest to generate revenue. Farmers can develop a long-term relationship with their members, one that may encourage members to support farmers by renewing their memberships each year. CSA Farmers: If you would like to be added to this listing, you will find a registration form
on the above mentioned page (http://tinyurl.com/csamap15 ). This form is a "fillable" PDF that can be completed and e-mailed to us. Although there are in excess of 290 farms listed, we are still accepting additional CSA's throughout Pennsylvania to add to this map. If you know of any CSA's that would like to be added to this list, have them contact us using the registration form or they can e-mail us at kam26@ psu.edu.

Natural Perspectives
For the Health-Minded Individual
Dr. Glenn Clearie DC www.drclearie.com Thyroid Disease: The Missing Link Nobody is Talking About This week’s Natural Perspectives™ article is to shed light on perhaps one of the most significant problems in America that very few doctors are addressing. Let me explain. For the better part of seventeen years and counting, I have been digging below the surface to determine what toxicity or deficiency may be at the root cause of various ailments. I feel that attempting to consider and have an understanding of the cause of a condition is favorable to just suppressing or managing symptoms. Not an easy task as you may imagine. Some of the greatest minds of our times are still baffled by cause and effect of many diseases and disorders and as such, I do not claim to have all the answers. It would be foolish to proclaim so. However, reasonable possibilities and correlations can oftentimes be glaringly obvious. I believe this to be the case with the new American epidemic known as thyroid disease. Thyroid abnormalities are on the rise. All you need to do is ask around and see that so many people are suddenly being diagnosed and taking some type of prescription medicine or having thyroid surgery. To the point, I consider the complete lack of iodide/iodine in our daily diet as the chief reason why thyroid problems are on the rise. My research into this topic has allowed me to have a new appreciation for the human body and how sensitive it can be. Without proper nutrient intake, (in this case iodine), the body cannot function optimally. If you think this is nonsense, think again. How much iodine have you had today, this week, this month? The toxic salt that you have at home isn’t nearly enough. It used to be the case that iodine was in our breads/foods, but now it has all been removed as we were told that too much would make us sick. The replacement to iodine in food is bromine,
a toxic halogen that binds imagine if the underlying to the iodine deficient re- cause of breast cancer, thyceptor sites. If that wasn’t roid cancer, uterine cancer, bad enough, bromide is in ovarian cancer, and dare I many soft drinks that we include prostate cancer, is are chugging daily. Are you due to chronic iodine defialso using bromide in your ciency? Would that change the life of thousands or hot tub? Not good. It isn’t just the thyroid what?

Gab over the Fence
by Pete G. Ossip
It was beautiful weather on Saturday. The calm before the storm, as they say. Weather folks were predicting as much as three to six inches of snow for us on Sunday night into Monday afternoon, so I started writing my letter early, getting ready for another big one. On Groundhog Day no less! We didn’t get much white stuff over a week ago when a gigantic snowfall was forecast, but we were just lucky ‘cause folks up north in Massachusetts and Maine got pounded with more than three feet of snow from the same system. . . .Now if it snows much, what about Town Council and those dartball games? . . . . Hats off to Marcia Hahn for winning the cow milking contest out at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. She wasn’t the only local winner. Northampton County 4-H’ers also captured first place in the potato judging contest at the Harrisburg show. Congrats to all!! . . . .A belated “Happy Birthday” to Catherine Hahn, who turned a coveted 90 years on January 29th! . . . . “Chow” Silfies is in that age range, too, and a couple of his buddies, “Cowboy” Tom and “Bear,” have been substituting for him as scorekeeper for the hearts games at the Legion these days since he was ailing recently. But even so, he’s not winning as much as Harvey Haupt, who avoids the queen of spades and gives it to Warren Henning. . . . The potato festival planning meeting was postponed on accounta the last snowstorm that wasn’t, and now it’s this Tuesday that they’re planning on it. Let’s hope they have the meeting this time. Maybe those 4-H’ers oughta sit in on it when they do. . . . Marcia Hahn and Julie Harhart are gonna have a meeting this Thursday to talk with folks about the natural gas pipeline that’s planned to go through these parts in a year or so. It is a subject that has its good
and bad points, so people are not really happy about it. Anyhow, the meeting is up Klecknersville way in the Methodist church. . . . What a Super Bowl that was! Seattle should never have lost it, but deciding to throw the ball at the one-yard line when Lynch coulda run it in was a big, big mistake. . . . Gotta start thinking about what I wanta give Elmira for Valentine’s Day in a couple weeks. But then maybe a big hug and a kiss and words of love are more important than something material. Helping her out around the house a lot more would be good, too. That’s what marriage is all about, sharing and caring for each other. . . . Gotta go now, and prepare for this latest winter surprise. Take care and be safe.

Outdoors Trout Will Be Stocked in “A” Waters The Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs has won after many months of concern about the proposed reclassification of local streams into the “A” category. The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission had proposed to change Monocacy Creek and Martins Creek in Northampton County and the Little Lehigh Creek in Lehigh County into Class “A” streams, along with a creek in Carbon County, so that only artificial lures could be used by fly fishermen to lure native trout. Mike Topping and John Berry objected strongly to those plans, saying that hundreds, perhaps thousands of youngsters, would be deprived of fishing for trout with live bait such as worms, nite crawlers and minnows. They especially targeted urban areas in their thinking.
www.HomeNewsPA.com
At the end of December, knowing that the PFBC would be voting on the proposal in January, this writer as county secretary sent out more than 110 petitions to sportsmen’s club members, local, state and county officials, asking them to sign on and contact PFBC Executive Director John Arway urging that trout be stocked in these creeks. The petition read: “Presently the PFBC is considering closing Class ‘A’ streams to in-season stocking – including fishing tournaments. In order to ensure a successful fishing experience for everyone fishing there, I support the continued stocking of fish during trout season in all trout streams classified as Class ‘A’ located in an urban area.” The petitions and the presence of Topping and Berry at two PFBC meetings evidently had an impact on the commissioners, most of whom are Trout Unlimited members. On Thursday, Jan. 22, they voted 5-4 to allow in-season stocking of trout and the use of artificial bait. Almost 700 signatures were collected, supporting that move. Among them were the Mayors of Bethlehem, Easton and Allentown, and Glade Squires, an official of the PFBC. The Pa. Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs also supported the local initiative, as did State Representative Joe Emrick.
PSFC Convention Set for March 20-22 In Lewisburg The 2015 Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs convention will be held Friday through Sunday, March 20-22 at the Best Western - Country Cupboard Inn in Lewisburg, hosted by the Central Division. The Friday session will include meetings by the Pa. Wildlife Federation and the board of the PFSC. Saturday is when the committees meet with the state and division delegates. They include the committees on membership development, fish and boat, game/ trapping, firearms, and conservation. The PFBC and PGC executive directors usually report to the sportsmen and women.

Legislators to Host Natural Gas Pipeline Meeting Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE State Reps. Marcia Hahn (RNazareth) and Julie Harhart (RNorthampton) are co-hosting an informational meeting on the proposed 100-mile pipeline that would run through Northampton County by the PennEast Pipeline Company. The meeting will take place Thursday, Feb. 5, at 6:30 p.m. in Covenant United Methodist Church, 2715 Mountain View Drive, Bath. “Even though construction on this project is tentatively set to begin in 2017, the subject has caused a great deal of concern among our constituents,” Harhart said. “We wanted to provide a forum where information could be disseminated and residents in the construction area could get answers to their questions.” The pipeline would transport natural gas from near WilkesBarre to Woodland, New Jersey,
passing through Carbon and Northampton counties along the way. It is estimated to take seven months to complete and create approximately 2,000 jobs in the process. “A Power Point presentation on the project will be presented, and a local attorney will discuss the rights of property owners,” added Hahn. “There will be plenty of time for questions to
be asked. We’re expecting a full house and anyone planning to attend can access the meeting area in the church as early as 5:30 p.m.” Questions about this or any legislative issue may be directed to Harhart’s district offices in Northampton 610-502-2701 and Slatington 610-760-9805 or Hahn’s Bushkill Township district office 610-746-2100.

Harhart Champions Cervical Cancer Awareness and the Need for More Mentors as 2015-16 Session Kicks Off
Submitted by TRICIA LEHMAN State Rep. Julie Harhart (RLehigh/Northampton) had two resolutions adopted last week by the House of Representatives to
increase awareness of the importance of cervical cancer screenings and the need for additional mentors serving youth across the Commonwealth. House Resolution 10 desig-
nates January 2015 as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month in Pennsylvania. Cervical cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide, yet with reg-

ular and accurate screening it is also highly preventable. “Thanks to the latest technology and screening practices, along with vaccination, we have the opportunity to finally eliminate cervical cancer in America,” said Harhart. “The challenge now is spreading awareness of the disease and encouraging women to have proper screenings for cervical cancer and to consider whether a vaccination is right for them.” The primary cause of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices have jointly recommended the use of an HPV vaccine for adolescents and young adults, both female and male, between 11 and 26 years of age. Women are also encouraged to have regular screenings for cervical cancer. Women who are uninsured may be eligible for free screening for cervical cancer through the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s HealthyWoman Program. For more information on the program, go to Harhart’s
website at www.JulieHarhart. com and click on the “HealthyWoman” banner. The second legislative measure Harhart has authored, and was adopted by the House, is House Resolution 16, which recognizes January 2015 as National Mentoring Month in Pennsylvania. “Mentors provide positive guidance, support and encouragement to our youth and help them to improve their social skills, achieve greater emotional and cognitive development, and make smarter decisions when faced with life choices,” said Harhart. “During this month, we need to show our appreciation for those individuals who take time out of their lives to participate in a mentoring program and encourage more people to consider becoming a mentor themselves.” Harhart said research shows participation in a high-quality mentoring relationship successfully reduces incidence of violence, delinquency, substance abuse and academic failure in young people.

The Curious Case of Jesper Pettersson
by TONY ANDROCKITIS The Home News Sports
With their backs against the wall - down 2-0 to the WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins halfway through the first period Saturday night - the Lehigh Valley Phantoms huddled together on the bench during a media timeout. They had already lost five of their last six games coming into Saturday’s game and looked down and out after allowing a Tom Kuhnhackl power play goal 10:23 into the contest. What was said on the bench during the short break remains unknown, but whatever was said worked. Andrew Gordon finished off an odd-man rush less than two minutes later to get the Phantoms on the board and things took off from there. The
Phantoms ended up rattling off six unanswered goals in a big 6-2 victory that could have possibly saved their season. Only time will tell. "Going into the third period, we said this could be the biggest period of the year," rookie forward Taylor Leier said after the game. "The boys really stuck together to get a win. It was a good feeling." Saturday’s win over the Penguins was just what the Phantoms needed after back-to-back blowout losses at home to Albany and Hershey on Thursday and Friday night. It was the kind of win that could turn around a season for a Phantoms team that was looking at a nine point deficit in the division to the second place Penguins if they didn’t pull things
together. Even more encouraging than the two points was where the goals were coming from Saturday night. Defenseman Adam Comrie tallied his first goal of the season to tie Saturday’s game 2-2 and the goal that turned out to be the game-winner was rookie defenseman Jesper Pettersson’s first career AHL goal. “I couldn’t believe it,” Pettersson said of his 2nd period goal against the Penguins Saturday. “It actually went in.” Several of his teammates mentioned that Pettersson’s goal really gave the bench a lift and got them rolling. "The boys were loving it," Leier said of Pettersson's first pro goal, adding, "Between periods [Pettersson] was saying that he hadn't scored in like two years.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2015-2016 KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
The Northampton Area School District will be conducting Kindergarten registration during February 2015 per the following dates at the following locations: •George Wolf Elementary School (610-837-1833) •Lehigh Elementary School (610-767-1191) •Moore Elementary School (610-837-1859) •February 17, 2015 from 1:45 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. Northampton Borough, including Siegfried and Franklin Elementaries: •Kindergarten registration will be ONLINE ONLY: Tuesday, February 3, 2015 through Wednesday, February 18, 2015 •Complete Registration online on the Borough webpage. •Steps to follow will be listed online at http://nasdschools.org/borough. cfm?subpage=11 •Click on 2015-2016 Kindergarten Registration •Siegfried Elementary School (610-262-6430)
addition to being beneficial for those being mentored, participation is also extremely rewarding to those serving as mentors. Pennsylvania mentoring programs are currently reaching approximately about 12,000 young people; however, there is still a serious mentoring gap, with thousands of youth currently in need of mentors. Harhart is hopeful the month-long celebration of mentoring will encourage more individuals and organizations to participate in mentoring programs. For more information on Harhart and her legislative initiatives, go to www.JulieHarhart.com or www.Facebook.com/RepHarhart.
To be admitted to Kindergarten, a child must be at least five years of age on or before September 1, 2015. Parents/guardians should bring the following items to Kindergarten registration: •The child’s proof of birth (Birth Certificate or Proof of Birthdate •The parent’s/guardian’s proof of residency 2 proofs are required (driver’s license, signed lease, an agreement of sale, a moving permit, a utility bill, etc.) •The child’s immunization records •Any custody papers pertaining to child being enrolled The child’s attendance at registration is welcomed, but not required.
Even when he scored, you could tell how happy he was. We were happy for him." The goal for Pettersson comes shortly after a seven-game absence from the lineup as a healthy scratch, not because of injury or poor play but due to the fact that a team dresses six defensemen for a game and the Phantoms are currently carrying seven healthy blue liners. More times than not in January, Pettersson was the odd man out. “It’s my first year,” Pettersson said when asked about his transition to North America after playing in his homeland of Sweden growing up. “We have seven
[defensemen] so you’re moving around. If I’m on the sideline, it’s keep working hard at practices and things like that. If I play, I take the chance and do what I can.” Even though Pettersson was drafted as a defenseman and has played on the blue line up until the All-Star break two weekends ago, injuries and call ups at the forward position has forced the Phantoms into dressing a lineup of 11 forwards and seven defenseman – a chance for Pettersson to play. It’s only fitting then that Pettersson’s first goal in North America came playing the right wing, following up on a defensive zone turnover with 2nd year forward Nick Cousins. Continued on page 15

Lower Nazareth Planning Municipal move in March by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Next month, Lower Nazareth Township’s Board of Supervisors and their related official bodies will be moving out of their present municipal building into the former Selvaggio building on Municipal Drive, a roadway renamed from its former Selvaggio Drive. The township bought the 35,000 sq. ft. property for $1.4 million in a sheriff’s sale back in January 2012. The former owner, Selvaggio Enterprises, Inc. foreclosed on it in July 2010. The plumbing, heating and excavating businesses under Selvaggio, along with Propak Wood, Inc., claimed they could stay in the complex. But the township sued, and Northampton County Judge Craig Dally found they could be ejected since the bank foreclosed on the building with T&S Development in 2006 before their leases with T&S. The vacating order was given to them on June 1, 2013. Crews are making progress on
renovating the building for the township’s administration offices, and finishing touches are being made on what will eventually be the public meeting room. Public works will also be housed in the building and its equipment is already being stored there. The present municipal building at Butztown Road is expected to become a community center or a storage site. There already exists a large sports complex and parking lot there, so it could become one well coordinated facility.

doors, however Northampton and Coplay still have a number of thriving organizations. Holy Family is very popular, this writer has attended numerous functions there and was very impressed with the facilities. The membership at one time exceeded 2000, which is probably the case today. The Club will observe it’s 100th Anniversary this year, quite an achievement. Many of our local residents have spent enjoyable times at Holy Family. Two other taverns that served Phoenix residents were Ambrose Fischl’s Blue Moon and Joe Ferraro’s tap room. The era of the mom and pop stores saw Santos Market, Deutsch’s Market, Bruno’s, and Ed and Alex Bajan who were noted for fresh meat as they operated their own slaughterhouse. Credit was the order of the day; plastic cards did not exist back then. The owner wrote the amount you paid in a “book.” At the end of the month, the Phoenix and local cement workers cashed their checks and paid in cash. In next week’s column, we will return to Phoenix to take a closer look.

by DAVE SICA At the Nazareth Borough Council workshop meeting on January 29 a variety of concerns were addressed as citizens took the floor. The first concerned Nazareth resident, who lives on Center Street, had concerns about garbage collection times. She recommended that the time be moved from 7 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. The council is looking into the matter. She also brought up what she sees as a safety issue, to which a second resident concurred. She had seen children making snow angels in the street and throwing snowballs at passing cars. Councilman John Samus recommended that she take the issue to the school district, as they have authority of school bus stops. Resident Dave Ruskowski agreed about the road safety issues regarding kids, specifically the lack of crosswalks and speed limit signs. He said that people tend to “fly from Academy through Walnut Street.” Ruskowski said that he has seen kids almost being hit at least once a month. After speaking to PennDOT about the road, he was referred to borough council. Council said that a road study would be done before any signs or crosswalks could be installed. Samus expressed worries that the interchange being put in would only exacerbate these problems. Ruskowski had spoken to unnamed Nazareth police officers about the speeding, but says he was told there was nothing they could do for budgetary reasons. Though PennDOT said that Walnut is not a state road, council argued that it most certainly is. The council unanimously agreed to put forward a motion for a road study in the future. The ecology committee issues centered on delinquent garbage fee collections and new light poles for the circle on Main Street. A representative
from First State Financial Service, who described his company as a “nice” collections agency, was present for questions. The council seemed to agree on hiring the collections agency, pending paperwork. There was some discussion on how the agency would be paid, with the suggestion of attaching a fee onto the taxpayer’s normal bill. There was no further debate on the subject. Council discussed replacing light poles on the circle, with some cost estimates around $8,000 for the four poles. No decision was made. Councilman Lance Colando, for the fire committee, had several motions. A motion to recharge fire extinguishers, for onsite fireman training, $472 for a metal cutting saw and blade replacement, and to replace several fire extinguishers. Colando also mentioned that anyone looking to dispose of fire extinguishers could drop them off at the Vigilance Hose Company on Monday nights. The police committee reported that several businesses have been complaining about bicycles being ridden on the sidewalk. Councilman Carl Fischl noted that it is illegal in Pennsylvania to do so. The new police standard operating procedure manual is completed and has been reviewed. Fischl said that the manual just has to be passed by council. Several mandatory training sessions for police officers were discussed including taser training for all officers. There will need to be purchases for three magazines for the department’s AR-15 rifles as well as vests and shields. Finally, council discussed the new pool in Borough Park. The cover was installed on January 23 and the pool is slated to be cleaned during the last week of March. Mayor Carl Styre announced that the grand opening of the pool will be on May 16 at 1 p.m.

Sweetheart Deal
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, lovebirds from around the country are beginning to plan how they will celebrate this special holiday. Maybe it’s as simple as sending an “I Love You Card,” or as extensive as a weekend away filled with champagne, delicious tastings, lots of chocolate and just a chance to get away and get off the grid. • Do your customers love you? • Is it true or do you think it’s true? • Do you have a servicefocused staff? • Are you increasing the depth of your client relationships? • What are your company’s values - do they include the following for your customers? • Mutual respect - it needs to be modeled. • Flexibility - be willing to change the course to please the customer. • Fun - geez, if you are not having fun, re-evalute. • Integrity/truthfulness
By CAROL RITTER - just tell the truth, especially if you mess up. • Swift responses - I’m so tired of excuses for not returning a call, get back to people switftly (they will love it). Recently, I was meeting with a client and she wanted to grow her business. She told me, “our customer service is superb, we knock that out of the park, we just need more new business.” Well, customer service is in the eye of the beholder and it is a piece of what is needed to grow your business. Having your brand become a household name requires constant, sustained, consistent marketing. It starts with superb customer service and ends with customers lining up
BIG
to buy your product or services. Relationship referrals are the cherry on top of the sundae or the icing on the cake. If you can ask your customers to send in their peeps, it is a recipe for success. At the end of the day, aren’t we all looking for relationship referrals, what a great way to say “I love you,” now that’s a SWEETHEART DEAL.

I Saw This Miracle! A lady who began to attend our church in 1972 went to be with the Lord last week. One of the things I vividly remember about Velma is how she was miraculously healed by the Lord as she was praying and singing to the Lord with others around the altar during a church service. Prior to the service, she told me that she could not wash her pots and pans because she could not close her hand. She showed me a lump on her arm just above her wrist measuring about one inch in diameter. During the service, I asked those who needed a touch of the Lord to come up around the altar for prayer. We sang the worship chorus, “I will bless Thee, O Lord. I will bless Thee, O Lord. With a heart of thanksgiving, I will bless Thee, O Lord.” Then as everyone lifted up their hands in worship to the Lord we sang, “With my hands lifted up, and my mouth filled with praise, With a heart of thanksgiving, I will bless Thee, O Lord.” Although it occurred about 40 years ago, I distinctly remember what happened next. Velma suddenly began opening and closing her hand with a look of astonishment on her face! As we continued singing, I walked over to her and asked what was happening. She told me that the lump on her arm had just shrunk to half the size and that she was now able to close her hand! I explained to the congregation about Velma’s hand and told what had just happened and that the growth on her arm had gone down half way. I asked everyone to join with us in prayer that the Lord would fully heal her and cause the lump to go down completely for His glory. Jesus told us in Mark 11:24, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” I thought I was believing as I prayed; but, I must admit that when I opened my eyes, I was shocked and surprised at what I saw! The lump was totally gone! As Velma showed her arm to everyone and demonstrated that she could fully close her hand, the congregation joyfully lifted up praise to the Healer, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8).

News Sermonette
Rev. Glen Rice, Pator, Zion’s Stone UCC Kreidersville / Northampton
Spread the Word
Jesus the Christ; the Son of God came to earth and lived a fully human life. He was also fully divine. As Jesus grew to be an adult we find him beginning his ministry in Capernaum when he was about 30 years of age. Mark 1:29-39 NIV 29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s motherin-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them. 32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was. 35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!” 38 Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. Jesus performed some great healing of humans he met along his travels. Although this physical healing was a part of his ministry, this was not the reason Christ had taken on human form and entered into this world. Jesus came to get to the root of the problem; he came to defeat all sin, death and the devil. Jesus did this with the ultimate demonstration of his deep love and generosity for us. He sacrificed himself by reaching out to everyone in all times and places. Christ’s hand, whose touch drove out fever and illness, now touches us and drives out eternal death of sin. Our Lord’s suffering and ultimate death on the cross is the ultimate cure for all the sins of this world. Christ’s resurrection gives us the assurance his cure is perfect. There is nothing we need to do because God has done it all! We cannot do anything to improve our relationship with God because it is already perfect. What the earthly Christ was able to do with all of his healing was a small part of what our ascended Lord does with all his people all the time. While he was on earth he shared his message with all he met so they could continue to share his word to the entire world. Through the church, the Holy Spirit has and continues to spread this message. This message of having received the gift of the knowledge of salvation has been passed on to us. We need to continue to learn of Jesus’ teachings so we can go out and share them with others. Together with all believers in Christ, we will enjoy the eternal happiness of heaven. Spread The Word!

“I passed to Cousins and he passed it back,” Pettersson said. “I saw my chance, shot the puck
and it went in. I was so happy.” The Phantoms took the 3-2 lead Saturday on Pettersson’s 2nd period goal and went on to tally three more goals in the third to break things open for the 6-2 win. License # PA003267

It should also come as no surprise that Cousins was involved offensively for the Phantoms. After all, he started the Phantoms rally by creating the odd-man rush that Gordon finished off to get the Phantoms on the scoreboard. Cousins also set up Pettersson for his eventual game-winning goal and after Leier made it 4-2, Cousins tallied his 14th goal of the season to make sure his team was going to stay in front. In fact, Cousins led the entire American Hockey League (AHL) in scoring for the month of January with 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in 13 games played last month. The Phantoms return home

Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach. Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort. Other signs. These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness. Vicki Crow adds that a healthy diet and lifestyle are the best weapons you have to fight heart disease. “Many people make it harder than it is. It is important to remember that it is the overall pattern of the choices you make that counts.” Home Helpers offers free inhome consultations and works with clients individually to tailor flexible care plans to meet their specific needs and budgets. Services offered include companionship, grocery shopping, meal preparation, assistance bathing, dressing and feeding, medication reminders, local transportation and light housekeeping.
