Bath Council votes to Keep polling place at St. John’s
By KERI LINDENMUTH During their monthly meeting on Monday, February 4, the Borough of Bath Council voted to keep the borough’s polling place at St. John’s Lutheran Church. The vote came after resident complaints following last year’s election. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito told council she received at least ten complaints on Election Day about accessibility to the polling place. While she acknowledges that the church is handicapped accessible and a “great space,” she reached out to Northampton County to see whether the new borough building could serve as an alternative polling place. The county inspected the borough building and gave it a passing grade; however, council gets the final say. Immediately, parking became council’s major concern. Councilwoman Michele Ehrgott said that the church has more parking, while Councilman Barry Fenstermaker voiced concerns about emergency vehicles trying to navigate through the polling traffic. Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman said it would be difficult for traffic to get back onto 512 without a signal. It was these concerns that prompted council to vote 5-2 in favor of keeping the polling place at St. John’s. Only Councilwoman Phyllis Andrews and Councilman Frank Hesch opposed. In other news, the borough also voted to return liquidated damage fines to JP Mascaro. Previously, the borough sought damages for four repeated incidents of missed pickups at the same
borough property. Under the borough’s contract with the trash hauler, they can seek up to $100 in liquidated damages per each occurrence. The total comes out of the borough’s bill. JP Mascaro customer service manager Mark Cesare was in attendance. He asked council to forgive the fines. “We have a good relationship with you guys,” he said. “We work with you guys as much as possible.” He cited donations of trash collection boxes during major borough events. Council acknowledged that the percentage of missed pickups is “minor.” When the numbers were calculated, they equaled less than .05 percent. “Overall, they are doing what they are supposed to be doing,” said Councilman Hesch. Council agreed and voted to wave the fees, but Borough Manager Brad Flynn warned JP Mascaro representatives that any incidents of trash and recycling being mixed together “have to stop.” Finally, the borough’s Public Safety Committee recommended against issuing a building key to representatives of the Bath Museum. “Once there are too many [keys] out there, it would create issues,” warned Councilman Tony Kovalovsky. He cited liability and insurance concerns. “We want to display our history,” agreed Council President Mark Saginario, “but we are up against other obstacles.” Saginario cited expensive technology and an open layout.

Looking by Back Ed Pany I heard a call
In this third column, I am speaking to the Rev. Jerry Mraz, an immigrant from Czechoslovakia and former pastor of Holy Trinity Slovak Church in Northampton. With the advent of World War II, Jerry recalls, “My father still worked in my uncle’s dry cleaning shop in New York City. A friend told him a machine shop where he was employed needed workers for the war effort, but my father said he had no machine shop experience. After work, he went to the machine shop, watched and learned, with his friend’s help, to operate a lathe. This he did on his own time. By patience and fortitude, he learned the trade and worked there during World War II.” After the war, he worked in the building trade, renovating buildings. Jerry attended and graduated from Seward Park High School and was now ready to pursue a career. What path would he follow? After graduating from Seward Park High School, he decided to pursue a degree in electrical engineering at New York University but left after one year. I asked Jerry, “When did you decide to enter the ministry?” Without hesitation, he said, “I heard a call to enter the ministry. My parents were active members of Holy Trinity Slovak Lutheran Church in the city. I was active in the youth group.” There he met Elizabeth Marecek, who became his wife. Jerry transferred to Wagner Lu-
theran College in Staten Island, enrolling in the Slovak Zion Synod program. His daily trip to Wagner was by train, ferry and a mile walk to campus. While there, he married Betty, in 1956. The day after the wedding, he boarded a train for Chicago and enrolled in Maywood Lutheran Theological Seminary. For the first year, they lived in one room in the married couple’s dormitory. After the birth of their daughter, Cathy Ann, they returned to New York to live with his parents. He was employed by an insurance company. With determination, Jerry continued his studies at Hamma Divinity School in Springfield, Ohio, graduating in 1960. His ministry started in 1960 at Holy Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Pittsburgh. I asked Jerry about his salary. With a gleam in his eye, he replied, “$4,000.” On a personal note, this writer started his teaching career at Northampton High School in 1958 for the same salary. We were both happy to work in our new professions. The Mraz family was now blessed with four children — Susan Elaine, John Adam, Karen Elizabeth and Cathy Ann. The Mraz family was experts in balancing the family budget. They could give some budgetary advice to the federal government. After six years in Pittsburgh, the family accepted a call at Firestone Lutheran Church in Akron,

Ohio. In 1971, the cement borough called, and Jerry became pastor of Holy Trinity Slovak Lutheran Church. The Rev. Mraz served the church and community for over 40 years, retiring in 2010.

Creative Corner Stories From My Heart By Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca
Tailor-Made This was a tailor-made day! A beauty, a day with plenty of sunshine, blue skies, and cold temperatures. Not bad for January. This kind of day always rejuvenates me, especially after the business of Christmas. As I thought about today's story, two words, tailor-made, kept creeping back into my thoughts. This is going to sound a little silly, but when words or pictures nudge me, I
am pretty sure that a story will follow before the end of the day. One of the definitions of tailor-made is; made, adapted, or suited for a particular purpose or person. There it was, the foundation of my story. I started this piece with a hint of the direction the story would take. Think about today's weather and apply it to the definition. On this day, I had a lunch meeting with two great gals who guide me with my writing and marketing. As I was driving to Perkins for my twelve o'clock meeting, I thought how their knowledge, encouragement, and yes, even their laughter was tailor-made for me. Through their confidence in me, my stories have become tailor-made for those who read them. Maybe my stories lifted your spirits, or my choice of words inspired you to never give up. As I drove home, I thought about those in the medical field. When you think about

it, tailor-made fits them to the "T." I can honestly say that I have had a few nurses and doctors that were suited for me. It was if they were handpicked. All through the day and evening, I thought about the people on my path, and how they influenced me, cared about me, and were the wind beneath my wings. I thought about my favorite writers, music, artists, and my book club friends. I even thought about the beautiful town I live in. They were all tailor-made for me, too. Once again, my heart knew who the original tailor-made was; God. He created, adapted, and made everything on my path. A beautiful path with its twists and turns and ups and downs. A path that leads me on many adventures in life. He tailor-made my heart and your heart too. He sends those who will have a purpose in our lives, whether to teach or be taught. One more thing, I believe that every one of us,

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Man, oh man! What a difference! Last week we froze in below zero temperatures, and this week it has been in the 40’s and up into 60 degrees. And the snow we had on the ground is making a fast melt. Has spring arrived? No, but the groundhog didn’t see his shadow, so it may be coming earlier. I’ll take it!! . . . . What a ho-hummer that so-called Super Bowl was. All the two teams got were field goals (and they even missed that) until the fourth quarter, and Tom Brady got his wish for a win over those punchless Los Angeles Rams. I was tempted to hit the hay, I was so bored from the defenses doing all the work. But I sat and squirmed with the misery of it. The Eagles coulda done better. Bring on the basketball playoffs, then baseball. . . .Folks at the Sacred Heart Assisted Living over in Northampton are out of there for a couple weeks due to a big water sprinkler leak. Thanks to a lotta people who came to their rescue with shelter and even food, the elderly are doing okay. It’s nice to see when people help out those in distress. . . . Same goes for the Miller family up in Danielsville. The father and son perished in the fire, but people are helping with funerals and other ways as the family struggles with their loss. You saw
in the paper last week how to help, and where the money goes, so if you will, follow through, and get to the meal at the Blue Mountain drive-in restaurant and at the Roosevelt Club, and even the motorcycle ride at Becky’s Drivein Theater. The proceeds go to the family. . . . On a lighter note, things are going topsy turvey this year in dart baseball, but Bath Lutheran is holding on. Christ UCC is struggling. No predicting what some of the other teams are gonna do. . . . The story about blood being needed was about the United States, but it’s short with Miller-Keystone, too, so if you can spare a pint or two, give ‘em a call, or drive down there for an appointment. . . . . Sorry, Charlie, but that spelling about the hill behind the nursery on W. Main Street at Old Forge wasn’t spelled like you had it. The name was Kossifos. I used to run that trail. And there was Sencenbach’s hill and Broad Street. They were good places before all of today’s traffic. I like your stories. Keep it up! . . . . I see Joe Myirski from down along Race St. has passed away. And I saw that Earl Yob from up in Chapmans died in the hospital on Saturday while listening to country and western music. Well, that’s one nice way to go. My sympathies to the families. . . . The folks at Kiffles Kitchen are making me hungry with their ad on chocolate covered strawberry kiffles. . . .Hats off to Ace Hardware, the “helpful hardware store’ for the honors they received from the corporation.
HEATING OIL? Pay LESS Online!
They sure have a nice store along the Nor-Bath highway. Congrats to Dale Miller, who makes it all work with his employees. . . . It’s almost Valentine’s Day. Hafta think of what Elmira would like, besides a hug and a kiss, that is. Take care, gang, and enjoy the warm air. Wow!

Portfolio by Wells Fargo® customers are eligible to receive an additional interest rate bonus on these accounts.3 1. To qualify for this offer, you must have a new or existing Platinum Savings account and enroll the account in this offer between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. This offer is subject to change at any time, without notice. This offer is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: AL and PA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 2.08% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money (from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or its affiliates) to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the term of this offer. The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.10%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000 minimum, the Special Rate will not apply and the interest rate will revert to the standard interest rate applicable to your Platinum Savings account. As of 12/10/2018, the standard interest rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in AL with an account balance of $0.01 to $24,999.99 is 0.03% (0.03% APY), $25,000 to $49,999.99 is 0.10% (0.10% APY), $50,000 to $99,999.99 is 0.15% (0.15% APY) and with an account balance of $100,000 and above is 0.20% (0.20% APY); and for Platinum Savings account in PA with an account balance of $0.01 to $49,999.99 is 0.03% (0.03% APY), $50,000 to $99,999.99 is 0.05% (0.05% APY) and with an account balance of $100,000 and above is 0.10% (0.10% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, standard interest rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. Offer not available to Private Banking, Wealth, Business Banking or Wholesale customers. 2. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. The 11-month New Dollar CD special requires a minimum of $25,000 brought to Wells Fargo from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank N.A., or its affiliates to earn the advertised APY. Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A fee for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the Special Rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. Due to the new money requirement, accounts may only be opened at your local branch. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Offer cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit offer. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC), and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking account will be converted to another checking product or closed.

Emrick Announces February Satellite office Hours in Forks Township
Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE State Rep. Joe Emrick (RNazareth) invites residents of the 137th Legislative District to take advantage of satellite office hours he has scheduled for Forks Township in the month of February. “We offer this service on the first and third Thursday of each month to make it easier for constituents who may find it difficult to reach my Slate Belt and Nazareth district offices, especially during winter weather,” said Emrick. “My staff is available on those days to answer any state government questions you might have.” A member of Emrick’s district office staff will be at the Forks Township Community Center on Thursday, Feb. 7, and Thursday, Feb. 21, from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. The community center is located at 500 Zucksville Road. “This is also a great opportunity to obtain further information about Pennsylvania’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program,” added Emrick. “My staff has the new PA-1000 forms for the
2018 tax year and is ready to help determine individual eligibility and complete the application at no cost.” Questions about this or any legislative issue should be directed to Emrick’s district office at 610-746-5090 or 610-588-8011.

“First Love”
Jesus said, “...I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love” (Rev. 2:4). Are you a Christian who no longer feels the joyful glow of love for Jesus filling your heart? Check this list for evidence that you have left your “first love.” _ My delight in the Lord is no longer as great as my delight in someone else. _ My soul does not long for times of rich fellowship in God’s Word or in prayer. _ My thoughts during leisure moments do not reflect upon the Lord. _ I claim to be “only human” and easily give in to those things I know displease the Lord. _ I do not willingly and cheerfully give to God’s work or to the needs of others. _ I cease to treat every Christian brother as I would the Lord. _ I view the commands of Christ as restrictions to my happiness rather than expressions of His love. _ I inwardly strive for the acclaim of this world rather than the approval of the Lord. _ I fail to make Christ or His Words known because I fear rejection. _ I refuse to give up an activity which I know is offending a weaker brother. _ I become complacent to sinful conditions around me. _ I am unable to forgive another for offending me. Do you need to recover your “first love?” Jesus is ready to forgive and bless you if you will seek Him in prayer and repentance!

Sermonette
Pain – Suffering by FRANKLIN HOMME I am writing this because we have so many people who have cancer, knee replacements, and have some shin problems that last a long time. Then it’s time for healing. We get meds and cream – whatever the doctor orders to make us feel better or try to get us to feel little better. But we still have the pain and we suffer. Sometimes we are pessimistic and quickly jump to negative conclusions about how situations in our life will play out. I am sure most of you have had something to give you pain and suffering. At the time we feel down, but there are people worse off than we are. Think of veterans who come back from wars – one arm or leg missing or both. The recovering part can be unbearable at times. I hear people say who had knee pain that one side hurts more than the other, or a person has pain all over their body. During these times, the physical and emotional pain can feel like aggressive adversities. But alas, we can’t escape our pain, change our circumstance, or ignore our emotion. There are times we toss and turn in our bed because of pain or whatever it is that bothers us. Eventually it gets to the point where we’re not getting enough rest to handle the challenges of the next day. Does this sound familiar? We feel like we will never get better. While struggles are part of everyday life, we do not have to be overcome by them. We are learning slowly to rely on God. Sometimes that may mean asking God for help because the creams and medications are not helping. God will care us through – whatever our pain is. While God may not take all our pain away, we can rest in the peace He provides and the assurance that He hears our cries. Jesus knows what pain is; He suffered for us. So Jesus is the only one who can truly help us. When we call the name of Jesus, He can enable us to believe and rely on the power of his presence and prayers of our friends. I know from experience; He helped me through suffering. Like Paul, we can choose how we’ll respond to pain and hardship. If we opt to be resentful and bitter, our suffering for suffering will be wasted. But if we see each situation as a wonderful opportunity for spiritual growth, we’ll be able to learn contentment and rejoice in the Lord through it all. Philippians 1:12-18. Psalm 8 – Quiet your spirit today. Open God’s word and invite Him to speak to you anew. And then listen.

5 Losing Lessons
On Sunday night the country watched the Super Bowl. It was neck and neck for the first half ending a 3-3 tie. People were moaning and groaning on Facebook, saying they were less than impressed, bored and snoozing. Then half-time came and the complaining continued. The game was tied at 3-3 heading into the fourth quarter. The six combined points were the lowest point total through three quarters of a Super Bowl. Finally, midway through the fourth quarter, the Patriots gained entrance into the end zone. The Patriots got the ball back with 4:17 left to play, and marched down the field into Rams territory behind the powerful running of Michel and Burkhead, officially sealing their victory with a 41yard field goal by Gostkowski. And so, the Patriots' dynasty, which started 17 years ago with a shocking Super Bowl victory over the then St. Louis Rams, officially came full circle with a 13-3 win that gave Bill Belichick and Tom Brady their sixth Lombardi Trophy. What about the losers? They might be saying we did our best, the Patriots out coached us, out played us, or they might be just saying we lost! No one wants to lose but I have believed since my softball coaching days that teams learn so much more by losing than winning. Sounds simple but it’s true. My guess is that in the age of playbacks and videos, the Rams are watching the replays and learning what could have prevented this loss. Well, who’s your competition and are they winning the sales and marketing Super Bowl? If not, you may want to assess your game.
Five Losing Lessons 1. Try to recover from the loss within 24 hours or, as my dad would say, no use crying over spilled milk. 2. Start to look in the mirror and think about what you could have done better. 3. Think about your mini wins, in football sometimes a mere tackle or a long run down the field seems like a win and it is a mini win. 4. Start to write down a plan of action, identify where you would like to be in three, six and 12 months and list the action steps. 5. Track your progress every three months, course correct if needed. You and your team are the only ones who can tackle a competitor, run past a lineman and score a touchdown. Oh, one more thing, you are the coach- so coach your team into one great year filled with touchdowns.

‘What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?’ Sponsors continue Their support in the Contest’s sixth year
Submitted by KIM PLYLER The sixth annual “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” student video contest has a total of 26 middle schools participating this year from Carbon, Lehigh and Northampton Counties. There are 15 regional contests scheduled in Pennsylvania for the 2018-2019 school year. The contest format, created by Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC) here in the Lehigh Valley, has also been adopted by groups in 11 additional states and gained recog-nition and support from Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf. “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” (WSCM), presented by MRC is a video contest that gives students in Carbon, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties the opportunity to con-nect directly with local manufacturers, document their experiences and present them in an educational and “cool” way through documentary video production. The contest was created to generate excitement that draws students toward considering manufacturing career paths to create a 21st century workforce. The contests are supported regionally by their sponsors and partners. “The success of this program across the state of Pennsylvania validates its design, which is to raise awareness about manufacturing career opportunities for our students.” says Jack Pfunder, President & CEO of Manufacturers Resource Center. Partnering with MRC for the project are eMediaWorks, Sahl Communications, Inc and EmpowerStar Marketing.
