Bath Borough passes parking enforcement ordinance

Back Row, L-R: Phyllis Andrews, Marena Rasmus, Brad Flynn, Barry Fenstermaker, Carol Bear-Heckman, Frank Hesch, Tony Kovalovsky. Front Row, L-R: Mayor Fiorella Mirabito, Mark Saginario, Michele Ehrgott

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Monday, February 3, the Borough of Bath Council passed the borough’s much-awaited parking enforcement ordinance. The ordinance created a brand-new position for the borough: parking enforcement officer. The officer will have the ability to cite vehicles for parking violations, such as parking on sidewalks or parking too close to fire hydrants. The borough is currently accepting applications for this position. Before the ordinance, Borough Manager Brad Flynn was performing dual roles of manager and enforcement offi-

cer. The new position will allow the borough to dedicate more time to parking violations, tow abandoned vehicles, and even enforce metered parking in the future. The ordinance was two years in the making, but one that solicitor Blake Marles said was worth the wait. “This is a really well-done ordinance,” he said. “It keeps a lot away from the magistrate...I do not know another ordinance that is so thorough and thought out.” The borough also passed a resoContinued on page 2

Cement Worker of the Month

Herman R. Holderman, LaFarge Whitehall By ED PANY Mr. Herman Holderman was reared in Northampton, graduating from Northampton High School in 1978 where he was a member of the Konkrete Kid wrestling team. Upon graduation, he worked for Allentown Sanitation. His cement career at LaFarge started in 1995. He recalls, “I started on the tire dock, later worked on the labor gang, then moved to the maintenance department.” Dave Tomasic, his former supervisor, was highly respected at the plant and shared his lifetime experiences with Herman. The present hard working maintenance team consists of 10 men supervised by Tim Jany and John Hish. Presently the team is working on a “turn around” rebuilding equipment for a smooth operation in 2020. He said, “We usually work in two-man teams

doing what ever work is needed to keep the plant operating in a safe and efficient manner. One of our biggest jobs is to rebuild the cooler system. Each day is different and challenging.” Safety is a priority. A toolbox meeting is held each morning to discuss current and future safety issues. Mr. Holderman enjoys working with all his co-workers in a friendly atmosphere. He and his wife Teri of 40 years have trained a number of Afghan dogs which has developed into an interesting hobby and business. Their dogs have appeared in a number of TV shows and commercials, one was in a Super Bowl commercial “releasing the hounds” advertising a popular automobile. The dogs also were used in the “Royal Pains” TV production. Teri has Continued on page 2

lution clarifying rules for commercial vehicles and overnight parking. Commercial vehicles are forbidden from parking overnight on the borough’s public streets. This includes trailers, equipment, and even cars with commercial magnets. By passing this resolution, the borough will have the ability to put together criteria and policy for residents to follow. In other news, Flynn outlined upcoming public works projects.

No Fee or Cost Unless Recovery Made

The department’s calendar, he said, is full of projects in 2020. These projects include street reconstruction, crosswalk painting, parking stall painting, traffic pattern painting, crack sealing, ADA improvements, new signage, curbing, and over 120 streetlight replacements. “It is a tall order,” said Flynn, “but we are going to do our best.” In other news, improvements will also be coming to the borough’s parks. Lukas Connolly, a member of Scout Troop 33, presented his Eagle Scout project before council. He will be constructing brand new bulletins for the borough’s parks. The new bul-

Anyone who wishes to make a donation of financial support, lumber, or tools to Connolly’s project can do so by contacting the borough’s office. Finally, PennDOT will be attending the borough’s March meeting to make a presentation on the Route 248 realignment project. Representatives will bring a display of the plans and be available to answer questions.

Submitted by STEVE GARDNER Every day, unsuspecting Americans, from border to border, are

victimized by scammers -- typically working with a highly coordinated and sophisticated network of criminals.

For the health-minded individual

Living Water

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

You need to hear what I am about to say. I am not holding back. Your health, your life may very well be at stake here. Did that get your attention? Without taking a survey, I already know that some 80 percent or more of people who are reading this are taking some type of drug daily. In fact, the truth is that about 99 percent of everyone is taking some form of “drug” daily. Yes, the drugs that come to mind as most common are prescribed by doctors; blood pressure, thinners, cholesterol, heart et al. However, in addition the legal type drugs that we have grown accustomed to (caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and herbs), are often consumed on a daily basis. Not to be left out are chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, and more that get into our bodies one way or another. So when I state that the vast majority are perhaps on some kind of drug one way or another I hope you see my perspective. I myself had a “drug” today and it was an all organic coffee blend. Alas still a drug. In addition I had green tea with caffeine, so again, a drug….please do not tell my wife. Somehow we need to keep cleaning, clearing, removing, and/or managing all the possible “stuff” that can get into our bodies, willingly or otherwise. At first brush, your mind naturally would suspect that I am going to talk about drinking at least six to eight glasses of water per day. You would be right as drinking water needs to be discussed as the foundation of any and all dilution, cleansing, or body wide clearing program. I would recommend adding fresh lemon slice to the water when able. This appears to aid in cleansing the body and nurturing the adrenals. So straight up water is a good way, and a simple way, for us to assist our bodies to address what it needs to on a daily basis. With that said, we need to

discuss appropriate exercise as a form of body detoxifying technique. This of course stimulates the whole person and draws to bear increased functioning of all body systems. Exercise aids in improved bowel and bladder function. Exercise “massages” the internal organs if that’s a phrase you will allow me the liberty to use. Heart rate elevation and increased circulation, respiration, and of course lymph system movement also aids in detoxification of the body which is all enhanced with exercise. So while I would ask everyone in earshot to consider these top two modalities to clearing gar-

bage out of the body, and while I could offer up a few more, I would like to highly suggest something I feel is extremely essential to health that has been seemingly minimized of late. Continued on page 4

Gab Over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip Hi gang, I hope everyone had a nice week!…Groundhog Phil did not see his shadow on Sunday, you know what that means… early spring! It sure felt like an early spring on Monday, boy was that a nice reprieve…Did everyone watch the Super Bowl? The Chiefs really pulled it out in the final quarter. First championship in half a century, great job Chiefs! No matter which team you were rooting for or hoping would make it to the big game, you can’t deny the tenacity of Patrick Mahomes. The 24-yearold is the youngest player to win an MVP and a Super Bowl title, and the youngest to be named Super Bowl MVP! That’s quite the accomplishment. It seems like he’s a real nice gentleman too. I gotta say, I’m real glad Mr. Andy Reid finally got to win that Lombardi trophy…This past Sunday was also Scout Sunday. I saw that Good Shepherd Lutheran Church celebrated with Pack 40, Troop 40 and Troop 540 and scout alumni, that looked real nice…Now that we’re finally into February, (did January drag on

forever or was that just me?), we can look forward to Valentine’s Day and Fastnacht Day…chocolate and doughnuts… I’ll tell ya what, I never miss an opportunity to celebrate food. I’d always get my fastnachts at Schubert’s Bakery in Nazareth, but as many of you know that will not be the case this year. I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Stephen Riccelli. Schubert’s Bakery, a staple of Nazareth for more than 50 years, has closed its doors until further notice. Our sincere condolences to the family…While on this somber note, I also extend my condolences to the Andretti family, who lost 56-year-old NASCAR driver and Bethlehem native John Andretti. Back in 2017 Andretti was diagnosed with colon cancer. He worked to spread the word about prevention and early detection, helping countless others to undergo early screenings during his own fight…another fine man gone too soon…There was another fire over in Plainfield Township last week, looked real bad… we’re so lucky to have all the outstanding fire departments in the area that selflessly volunteer and put their lives on the line, same with all the fine policeman and EMS, thank you to all…Speaking of selfless volunteering…I

I understand there has been a real push for the Keto diet lifestyle. I am not against it as I feel it has its place. Diets such as Keto, Atkins, Paleo, and all the rest will assist in getting leaner for sure and I have recommended this style of eating in certain cases over the years. Some short term and some longer term as needed. However, in holding onto these low carbohydrate diets as the Holy Grail we have generally neglected consuming fruit and I believe this has made us sicker not healthier. Fruit is made by God. Since that’s the case I would hold onto the truth that it was given to us to keep us healthy. To avoid or remove from our daily fruit consumption goes against what I believe He has ordained. There was a time when I myself bought into the fallacy that fruit sugar was somehow bad for you. What a mistake. Fruit contains a boat load of vitamins, minerals, and enzymesperhaps so many and much more we really have no idea about yet. These factors combined with the “living water” juice that flows forth from life-enhancing fruit is what I believe clears bad stuff from the body. I believe this living water traverses within and throughout providing these micro nutrients into every nook and cranny of the body. The rhyme states “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” not “a slab of beef.” In addition, if an apple a day was what it took

“back then” it’s probably more like three apples a day now. So please, start eating fruit again. Apples, pears, bananas, mangos, berries, apricots, prunes, dates, cantaloupes and all the rest-your health will improve. My best to you.

Stories From My Heart by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca Be Someone’s Blessing

Blessings by the bushels, Blessings by the pound, Blessings that have no sound, Blessing by the hugs we give, Blessings from the heart, Blessing others is the way to start. I really do not know why I began my story like this, but it felt good to write it, so I did. Tonight, I took a nice walk around my town. I heard children laughing as they ran around their yards. Perhaps they were playing tag or hide and seek. Their innocence and bright sparkly eyes, friendliness, and eagerness to explore and learn have always touched my heart. Children are a special blessing. As I continued my walk through our historical circle, an older couple was sitting on one of the benches, talking, laughing, then getting quiet, and talking and laughing some more. They touched my heart as I walked by them. The love they shared was evident, as they looked lovingly into each other’s eyes. It brought a smile to my face and goosebumps to my skin. How blessed they were to have each other, for better or worse, in sickness and health, till death would part them. Cou-

4 ideas for Solving big Problems I remember when my children were little and I was discussing a small problem I had with one of them with a friend. My friend said, “Little children, little problems, big children, big problems.” I thought to myself, that’s not true. I’ve since learned I was wrong. If you step back and think about it, you might come to the same conclusion. Older children grow up, get married…. problems, have kids….. problems, kids go to school…..problems and so on and so forth. So, if you are not a natural problem solver, it’s a rough road. Some say that some people are natural-born problem solvers, which makes it a lot easier at work. Here’s what we know. 1. Problems happen naturally and frequently. 2. Avoiding solving a problem does not work. 3. If you don’t know how to solve a problem, you will need help. A few years ago a man, possibly a competitor, wrote something negative about my business in a private message which went to about five people. He made the mistake of not checking the email thread and it went to a friend of mine. My friend’s response was simply “WHOA”. The panic ensued. I got a call from one of the people on the thread to tell me what happened. She asked me what I needed to clear up this misunderstanding. It was not a misunderstanding. I said, ‘a sincere apology.’ A few days later I got an email (the cowardly way to apologize) and it said, “I’m sorry

***

you took this personally but I’m sorry.” We had to work together, I accepted his apology and moved on. When solving problems… 1. Keep your own attitude in check. 2. Take your time in finding a solution. 3. Think about the impact it will have on others. 4. And then take action. If you have a small business, you have to be in the problem solving mode on a weekly basis. Little children, little problems; big children or big colleagues equal bigger problems.

know that they were not alone. Soon, I walked past a doctor’s office and thought about all those who walked through his doors. I prayed to God to heal all those who are sick with illnesses starting with the letter "A" to the very last letter, "Z." I asked Him to bless all those here and around the world. And to fill them with His mercy, shower them with compassion, and love; lead each one to the right doctor, and to hold them in the palm of His Hand. I included the need to extend His loving plan to their families, caregivers, and friends. They say it takes a village to raise a child, I think it takes a village to help those who are ill. If you are healthy, you are blessed. Be a blessing to someone who is under the weather, whether facing severe illness, or a terminal disease. Be the sunshine these precious people need. Offer to help by making meals, driving them to appointments, doing errands, or just being there when they need you. Make a difference.

As we go through this time we call life, we need to understand that we’re in it together. Sometimes, we need a heart check and not from our doctor. What is your heart telling you today? Can you imagine the positive changes that would happen

Purple Paint Law

By HOME NEWS STAFF Pennsylvania has joined several other states in adopting a “purple paint law,” which provides landowners with an alternative to marking their properties as “no trespassing.” Under the law, landowners may paint purple stripes on trees or posts to mark their properties. The lines must be vertical and at least 8 inches long and 1 inch wide. They must be 3 to 5 feet off the ground, readily visible to a person approaching the property and no more than 100 feet apart. While the law does not specify a certain shade of purple, a number of paint manufacturers offer a product called “No Hunting Purple.” Previously, the only way landowners could post their properties was by posting signs that

Column Submission by Northampton County Executive Lamont G. McClure Submitted by

BECKY BARTLETT Northampton County regrets to report that we will not be able to provide results of the April 28 Primary on election night. The failure of the Election Commission to approve the purchase of Electronic Poll Books (ePoll Books) at their January 30 meeting means that unofficial results will not be available until sometime in May. Under the Home

Rule Charter, these Commissioners were hand-picked by the Democratic and Republican Party Chairs—Matt Munsey and Gloria “Lee” Snover. Major changes were made to the Election Code in October of 2019. Act 77 is an historic reform which makes voting more convenient by extending time for citizens to register and to send in mail-in and absentee ballots. However, that convenience comes with an accelerated timeline. Previously, voter registration ended thirty days before an election, now it’s fifteen. Registrations received at County offices on April 15 won’t be uploaded to the state system for several days. Providing that we can find a printer willing to take the job, (NTS, the printer we’ve used for years, is pulling out of Pennsylvania) all materials will have to be delivered to the print shop three to four weeks in advance. Any printed poll books produced for the election will be inaccurate, so

an additional list of late filers will have to be produced. Verifying names on two separate lists will substantially slow down the lines at the polls, especially since turnout this year is expected to be heavy. Results will be delayed for weeks because, after the polls close, Election’s staff will have to scan 350 books containing over 209,000 names into the state’s SURE system to confirm that no one voted twice – once at the polls and once via a mail-in ballot. Until the scanning is completed, none of the mail-in ballots can be opened. The County expects to receive a minimum of 15,000 votes by mail—enough to change the results tabulated on the voting machines. In past elections, scanning the poll books took a minimum of two to three weeks. With high turnout and more people voting by mail, this time may be doubled. Northampton County did not want to purchase ePoll Books and has resisted requests to do so for

years. The ePoll Books introduce another level of technology for our staff and volunteers to master. They are also expensive. The system under consideration will cost $262,150 for the machines themselves as well as another $43,750 a year for maintenance. However, they can be updated quickly through the state’s SURE system, producing accurate voter rolls in time for the election. They can also redirect someone who is at the wrong polling place to the right one, and indicate which voters have filed an application to vote by mail. Forcing us to use a paper system will result in long lines and confusion at the polls, will delay election results for weeks, and will likely cause Northampton County to miss the deadline to file our results with the state. To be clear, this will be the fault of the Commissioners. All of these facts have been presented to the Election Commission. Northampton County has many authorities, boards and

commissions operated by volunteers who willingly donate their time and work with the County in a responsible manner because they want residents to benefit from government services. Unfortunately, on Thursday night, the Election Commission made it very clear that they 1) are not interested in making sure candidates and Northampton County residents can see results the night of the election, 2) are not concerned about the stress they are putting on County staff, 3) are not troubled by the difficulties poll workers will have trying to check long lines of people in on multiple lists and 4) don’t care if Northampton County misses its filing deadline with the state. Chair Maudeania Hornik instructed the administration to “hire an army” and “do the printing in-house.” Governments have obligations to taxpayers and must follow budgets. The labor and overtime needed to “hire an army of workers” would require us to take money from other programs. We can’t magically conjure a printing system to produce poll books and we’d have to provide space for an army to work. Counting votes in a hallway will bring justified complaints about security issues. Northampton County bears all of the responsibility for making sure that our election produces fair, accurate and legal results. The purpose of the Election Commission is to assist the County in that endeavor, not to deny them the tools required to complete the job. Alan Brau, Frank DeVito, Maudeania Hornik and Daniel Lospresti all voted against the purchase of a resource Northampton County must have to fulfill the requirements of Act 77. (Gail Preuninger voted for the purchase). If you want a floor cleaned properly, don’t refuse to give the janitor a mop. For those unhappy with not knowing which candidates won in Northampton County the night of the election, please send an email to elections@northamptoncounty.org We’ll be sure each and every member of the Election Commission receives a copy.

BATH AREA Annual Rock-a-thon approaching At Little Moore Church Submitted by CONNIE VANBLARGAN The Christian Endeavor Youth Group at Little Moore will hold their annual Rock-a-thon on Feb. 15 from 9:30 a.m. until midnight. Attendees will rock in rocking chairs to raise money, each year for a different charity. This year they are rocking to raise money to do mission work over the summer. The mission work will be within a drivable distance. Last time the rockers worked at soup kitchens in Bethlehem, worked to organize and clean up the Little Moore Food Bank at the church, helped organize clothing at a church in Bethlehem that was moving its clothing that is donated to families in need, and they helped at Feed the Children to pack boxes. While in the rocking chairs participants entertain themselves with movies and games. Rockers are allowed up for five minutes each hour to move their chairs and use the bathroom. We will also be planning a recap of the Youth Quake we are attending the week prior. We will be presenting our recap at the 9 a.m. service on Feb. 16. At midnight, we will be "locked in" at the church to catch a few hours sleep so we can pres-

ent a youth service that recaps our Youth Quake experience from the weekend of Feb. 7 to Feb. 9 at the former Best Western on Route 512 in Bethlehem. The goal of each rocker is to raise enough money so that they are earning minimum wage per hour. That makes each person's goal $106. The way we came up with that amount, was a few years ago the kids were asked, "If you were getting paid for each hour you are rocking, what would you want to be paid?" One of the kids responded minimum wage. Since then, we take the number of hours we are rocking and multiply by minimum wage. If they don't have enough sponsors, we all help each other when we first start rocking to call and text people we know from church or family and friends that might be willing to sponsor the Rock-a-thon. Christ UCC Little Moore has been holding the youth rock-athons for over 30 years. Our church youth group is open to kids from 5th-12th grade. If you’d like to be a sponsor, you may send a donation to 913 S. Mink Rd., Danielsville PA 18038, or call the church at 610-8376051.

A Minute With The Mayor By Fiorella R. Mirabito Phew! That was one long January, wasn't it? It seemed like forever. We've truly hit the ground running with meetings…many have been already scheduled to begin planning for the upcoming events in our Borough. First, the upcoming Neighborhood Watch Group Meeting which is scheduled for Wednesday, February 19 at 6 p.m. in Borough Hall. The program featured for the first NWG meeting of the year is "STOP THE BLEED" - which will be presented by St. Luke's Health Network along with PA State Police. I strongly urge everyone to attend this most important and informational meeting - you do not have to be a member of the NWG. Secondly, the first meeting of the Spuds & Suds committee was held and all meetings for the event have been scheduled for every month leading up to the festival. If you are interested in volunteering this year, please reach out to Ms. Jessica O'Donnell or Ms. Liana Marte at the Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce; or, call the Borough office for contact information. A reminder - all Bath Borough Council meetings have been published for the year. The regularly scheduled monthly meetings are held the first Monday of the month, with special meetings every other month on the second Wednesday of the month (except for the July and September special meetings - they will be held on the third Wednesday). I cannot stress enough, especially to business owners, the importance of attending these meetings. We anticipate many

changes in our Borough, especially with the state roadways; and, the rental inspection program. The discussion for both items is ongoing and staying informed is of utmost importance. All agendas and meeting minutes are on our website - www.bathborough.org. Also, all event and meeting reminders are listed on the Borough Facebook page. I'm also very

happy to report, I'll be presenting a Mayoral Proclamation to our Public Works employee and Bath volunteer firefighter, John Ashworth, at the Bath Borough Council meeting on March 2, for his bravery at the January house fire on East Northampton Street. Our Borough is incredibly blessed to have so many dedicated employees and volunteers. In closing, I would like to take a moment to extend a sincere thank you to our new District Attorney Terry Houck, for inviting me to his swearing-in ceremony. I can see he will do great things for Northampton County…and, wish him and his family the best. Happy February! Mayor Mirabito

Sermonette

Forgiveness by Franklin Homme

Forgiveness can be defined as letting go of both resentment and hurt. On the other hand, forgiveness demands that the guilty one pay for the wrong he or she did. According to these definitions, forgiveness looks very much like justice, and forgiveness seems inequitable. That’s why we have such a hard time with it. Forgiveness goes against our natural sense of fair play. Yet God calls us to forgive those who don’t deserve it. To void offering a pardon, we Devall on the wrong doing until our desire to retaliate seems totally justified. Convinced of our right to be angry, we demand repayment, thinking, releasing a person from deserved punishment is unfair. A young man (let’s say Tom Smith) sensed something was missing in his life so he started going to church- the same church his daughter attended. But they never went together; Tom had offered one day and drove a wedge between them. Tom would slip in and leave as soon as service was over he left. Members of the church shared the gospel to him and he kept attending. One day Tom didn’t feel well and his sister picked him up to encourage himshe shared how Christ changed her life, and she sought reconciliation with her dad. (Cor. 5:19) A wonderful thing happened – Tom put his faith in Christ and the family was reconciled. A few days later, Tom passed away and entered into the presence of Jesus- peace with God and his loved ones. Our willingness to forgive others realizes that God desires to reconcile to Himself. (Cor. 5:19) Would you lean on God’s strength to show them His love today? Is there someone you need to reconcile with? Our willingness to see reconciliation with others shows God’s heart to them. When we accepted the Lord’s forgiveness, the apostle Paul wrote that we are to “try to persuade others” about the truth of God’s love and forgiveness (2 Cor. 5:11). An unforgiving heart is miserable because it is far from God, who is the source of all peace and joy. At times we have to forgive

those who seriously hurt us. We can only obey God or say the right words. Old memories and pain can skip back into the mind, stirring of anger and injustice Forgiveness brings freedom from the agitation that accompanies resentment. Apostle Paul says that it is “Christ’s” love that compels us to carry out his work of reconciliations (2Cor. 5:14”). You will be able to thank the Lord for the opportunity to learn forgiveness and live in His lavish grace. My wife used to nurture her plants and I even heard her talk to them. Like houseplants, marriages, family and friendships require some nurturing. Tending to these relationships involves merging spiritually so that God is present at the center of each important bond.Through Christ’s Spirit living in us, we can love God and others because He first loved us first (Galatians 5:2223;1John 4:19). “Love the Lord your God... Love your neighbor (family) as yourself.” The things we need most to stay happily united with each other.

Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Reports $30.7 Million in Wagers placed On Super Bowl

Submitted by DOUGLAS HARBACH The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today reported that preliminary figures show $30.7 million was wagered in the Commonwealth on this past weekend’s Super Bowl through retail and online sportsbooks and payouts of just over $34 million. This resulted in a loss of revenue to operators of over $3.3 million. This was the second year in which legal sports wagering was available in Pennsylvania for the Super Bowl, but the first in which online wagering options were available. Last year, the sports wagering market consisted of only six retail outlets. This year, patrons could choose to place Super Bowl wagers at a dozen retail locations and through eight online wagering sites. The Board broke out the handle and revenue as follows: Super Bowl Handle Retail $6,728,544 Super Bowl Revenue Retail ($450,894) Super Bowl Handle Online

February 6-12, 2020 13

$24,035,942 Super Bowl Revenue Online ($2,840,675) Total Super Bowl Handle $30,693,942 Total Super Bowl Revenue ($3,334,787 The Board also reported that almost 200,000 persons logged onto online sports wagering sites in Pennsylvania based on data it obtained of the number of unique users on the websites. This is in addition to patrons who were visiting and wagering at the retail locations. Figures from previous NFL Sundays show the number of unique visitors on the Pennsylvania sports wagering websites was closer to 100,000. About the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is tasked to oversee all aspects of gambling legalized under 2004’s Race Horse Development and Gaming Act and the Gaming Expansion Act of 2017. In addition to slot machine and table games gambling at land-based casinos, the expansion includes online casino games available to date on seven sites; sports wagering offered through sportsbooks at 12 locations and through eight online outlets; video gaming terminals (VGTs) offered as of this date at 21 qualified truck stops; and, fantasy sports contests through eight providers. The mature land-based casino industry in Pennsylvania currently consists of 10 stand-alone and racetrack casinos in operation, along with the two smaller resort casinos. These facilities collectively employ over 16,000 people and annually generate over $1.4 billion in tax revenue from slot machine and table games play. Construction of a 13th casino is currently underway along with a number of new “mini-casinos” that are expected to begin operation over the next couple of years. Additional information about both the PGCB’s gaming regulatory efforts and Pennsylvania’s gaming industry can be found at gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov.

submitted by BRYAN YOUPA The Nazareth Economic Development Committee is proud to announce the winner of the January 2020 Golden Broom Award. Herbs To Your Success owner Vanessa Sabatine took home our award for the next month and is proudly displaying it alongside her Valentine’s showcase. We got a chance to speak with Vanessa who has been in business for 25 years, and has been at her current location at 64 South Main since 2013. “I love this area, and I love this spot, so I am sticking around for another 25,” Vanessa said. Herbs To Your Success provides high-quality spa services to customers, including salt booths and oxygen saunas, among other treatments. They also offer a huge selection of herbs, teas, oils, and vitamins along with many other products to help you meet your wellness goals. Vanessa, whom you can find most days smiling behind her counter and around the store, says she got her start after a weight loss stint in which she lost 25 pounds in three months using herbs. Since then she has been successfully running her business providing services and products to Nazareth residents and more, but not alone. When we asked what her secret to a great looking store front was, Vanessa replied, “My friend who works with me, Dr. Susan Bostian, is the talent behind the displays."

month of February, including serving lavender/bergamot water with all services the week of February 3. So, make sure you stop in to see Vanessa at Herbs To Your Success at 64 South Main St. Monday through Friday between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. when you are downtown.
