Row home heavily Damaged by fire on New Year’s Day by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Three Bath firefighters were injured on Tuesday morning,
January 1, 2019, New Year’s Day, when a fire broke out in a row home at 616 E. Main Street, Bath. The three were first taken by ambulance to St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill, suffering from burns and smoke inhalation. One was
released, but two were then transferred to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Salisbury Township. They all have been released and are now home. Fire Chief Charles F. Tully identified them as Rob Fallstich, Steven Mannino, and Ryan Forsythe. Their injuries were not life threatening. Continued on page 2
Looking by Back Ed Pany Slovak Heritage
A few months ago, I wrote a series on Austrian immigrants who came to America for opportunity and a new life in a new country. Another large migration from the old Austria-Hungarian empire were people of Slovak origin. Many settled in Northampton, Cementon, Egypt, Coplay and Catasauqua. My mother, a Slovak, also made the long journey to the United States and settled in Northampton. She was
very proud of her heritage. I wonder how many of their descendants can converse in their native tongue? Their heritage and determination helped organize a number of local churches — in Northampton, both the Assumption Virgin Mary and Holy Trinity Slovak Evangelical churches; in Catasauqua, St. Andrew’s Slovak Catholic Church, now named St. John Fisher; and in Egypt, Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church.

St. Andrew’s was the first to be formed, in 1902. As a result, my mother walked to St. Andrew’s to worship on Sundays. The other churches were formed at a later date. One of my friends, Rev. Jerry Mraz, was the longtime pastor of Holy Trinity Slo-
vak Church in Northampton. Born in Czechoslovakia, he is an authority on Slovak culture. So I sharpened my No. 2 Farber pencil and interviewed him. Guess my questioning sounded like an Continued on page 7

guests from outside of the area. All expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to visit a fine museum dedicated to their area of expertise. Numerous photos of the industry have been added to the collection over the past year. It must be noted that almost all of the remaining operating Cement Companies of the Lehigh Valley have supported the museum financially this year. They include; Keystone, Lehigh Heidelberg and LafargeHolcim. This is very meaningful to the Trust. They are to be commended for their support, which allows us to continue to operate as a free/no cost facility to everyone. Each also works with a learning team at the Northampton Area Middle School alongside the museum in special program support. The students and teachers have received them warmly and the relationship continues to connect them to their Konkrete Kids roots. The Museum continues to honor a Cement Worker of the Month and honored seven such workers from five plants in 2017. They receive a photo and biography that appear in the Bath Home News, The Northampton Press, The Whitehall Press and The Catasauqua Press. In addition, each worker selected receives a framed copy of the article and a plaque. Our 2018 honorees were: • David Sonon - Lehigh Heidelberg Evansville • Roark Grammes LafargeHolcim Whitehall • Ronald Silfies Keystone Bath • Frank Fassl - Lehigh Heidelberg Nazareth • Michael J. Jablonski - Lehigh Heidelberg Evansville • Douglas Newhard LafargeHolcim Whitehall • Rodney Hartzell Lehigh Heidelberg Nazareth

Top ten New Year’s Resolutions
Happy New Year…What’s up with your business? Is 2019 going to be the “same ol’ same ol’,” or are you going to bring your customers new ideas, a new future and a new year? This is your chance because most of us expect us to, at the very least, make some positive changes in the new year. Owning a small business is not easy; there are a lot of bumps in the road but many can be avoided by embracing change and utilizing opportunities, like a new year, to continue to strive to be the absolute best game in town.
Top Ten Caroltalks Resolutions
1. Make a commitment to change - new ideas = new customers. 2. Start with a new business plan - get creative. 3. Set two new goals - increase and advance. 4. Videos are imperative - hire a company with a great reputation and watch your stats on social media zoom. 5. Connect with influencers - people who everyone knows, work on getting them as customers or hire them (community celebs). “Marketing with influencers is a social media strategy, but who influencers are is beginning to change. Companies previously relied on celebrities to convince people that products are worth buying, but consumers are now leaning toward their peers. The frozen-food retailer Iceland, for instance, switched from celebrity marketing to partnering with “real” people (micro-influencers) because their customers, mothers, trusted other mothers above brands and so-called industry experts. Marketing is becoming increasingly complex, so it’s practical for marketers to keep their eyes on emerging technologies, methods and patterns.” Deep Patel 6. Get social - increase, advance and encourage kicked-up social media, it can be free, but if you want it to work, you may have to invest a few bucks. 7. Crank up customer appreciation - you know, gifts, rewards, special treatment. 8. Train your staff, give them the tools to be successful (a must). 9. Show you care, be charitable. 10. Be mindful of generational differences. The baby boomers think very differently than Generation Z (Gen Z). Gen Z is getting older, which means they are beginning to enter the workforce and possess buying power. It is impossible to make blanket statements about
members of the second-youngest generation, but you should remember a few things: they seek authenticity, and they prefer socially responsible businesses. They’re growing up in a scary world and a struggling economy, so they’re more likely to turn to companies that make the world a better place for them and their families. Happy New Year, make 2019 your best year ever.

Bath Council applauds Northampton Borough Borough’s firefighters Holds first borough By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Monday, January 7, members of the Borough of Bath Council applauded the Borough of Bath Volunteer Fire Department for their response to a fast-moving fire on New Year’s Day. “They did such a great job battling that blaze,” said Council President Mark Saginario. “[It was] one of the biggest we have had here.” The fire broke out at 616 E. Main Street, moving quickly to three other homes and displacing six families. Fire departments from multiple municipalities responded. The only fatality was a family dog. Three Bath firefighters were injured. The fire resulted in a hazmat situation when oil in one of the homes leaked. However, first responders were able to prevent the oil from leaking into the Monocacy Creek. Bath firefighters lost $25,000 in equipment while battling the blaze. However, it is clear that much more could have very well been lost. “[We] cannot thank them enough for risking their lives,” Saginario said on behalf of council. “For everything they do.” In other news, during their January 7 meeting, council granted preliminary final approval to wastewater treatment plant updates. The Bath Water Authority will be completing upgrades to its existing plant, which was constructed in 1965. Two treatment tanks will be replaced, while an office control facility, garage, and headworks building will be constructed. The project will include the possibility for future construction and oversized piping to accommodate for increased service if needed.
George Gasper, chairman of the water authority, said planning for the project began in 2009, but the previous engineer caused delays. “They did not come through with what they were supposed to,” he said. With a new engineer on board and approvals from DEP, Gasper anticipates bids for construction to go out in February, with the plant in full operation by December 2020. The modern plant, Gasper said, will be more computerized. Gasper acknowledges that these improvements will mean either a surcharge or rate increase. “We do not know that until bids come in,” he said. Meanwhile, Jay Mills was appointed to the water authority for a five year term. Council also discussed traffic improvements and roadwork during their meeting. Borough manager Brad Flynn will be reaching out to engineers from PennDOT in regards to the stalled Route 248 re-alignment project. “Everything kind of became iced over,” he said. Flynn also said he attended a Lehigh Valley Planning Commission meeting about federal funding for transportation. His attendance at the meeting made the borough eligible for possible funding. “It is another avenue,” he said. “We are covering everything.” Finally, Mayor Fiorella Mirabito distributed a six-month Pennsylvania State Police report. The report listed incidents in the borough July 1 until December 19. In total, there were 460 incidents during that time. Most prominent were thefts, crashes, and traffic citations (which include truck incidents).
WUNDERLER’S MARKET Brewer’s Best Beer Kits
Meeting of the year
By HANNA O’REILLY At last week’s borough meeting, council agreed to continue using PNC Bank as their designated bank for borough fund depositories. This decision was passed. There was a resolution establishing fees for filing applications, permits, and licenses for the borough of Northampton. All information stayed the same except that Northampton will now be using a third-party inspection agency. As a result, application fees for building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits have been raised in order to cover the cost of inspections. A resolution authorizing the appointment of a sewage enforcement officer and an engineering firm was completed. Stephen Turocsy was appointed as the individual for sewage enforcement. The borough appointed Lehigh Engineering as the engineering firm. There was one applicant to be appointed to the Northampton Zoning Hearing Board. Gerome Kroboth was reappointed to this position. Bernadette Klucsarits’s term on the Board of Health for
the borough of Northampton had expired. She was reappointed. Cyndie Carman and Robert McHale’s terms were expiring on the borough planning commission. Both individuals were reappointed. The current term holder of the municipal authority board did not wish to be reappointed. The successful appointee was Anthony Lopsonzski. Victor Rodite, community planner and grant writer for the borough of Northampton approached borough with a conference he wishes to attend in California. Rodite offered to pay for his transportation, registration, and meals but asked that the borough pay for his sign-up fee. This was approved. The rental inspection ordinance that was passed last year was effective at the start of 2019. The borough has experienced many questions about the ordinance but has not run into any issues. Council will continue to work with those who have questions. The payment of bills was approved. Northampton borough council will hold their next meeting on January 17.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip That was no way to begin the year 2019, but a fire hit an East Main Street home here in Bath on New Year’s Day. Fortunately, the residents got out okay, but three firemen suffered burns and smoke inhalation. I didn’t get their names, but Fire Chief Charlie Tully said they aren’t in any further danger, and will be okay after treatment for their burns. . . .Too bad Penn State didn’t score much until the final quarter on New Year’s Day and lost 27-24 to Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl. They had a nice parade for the bowl anyway. . . .Tony P. didn’t want me to say anything about the Philadelphia Eagles, but they didn’t go away. They got into the NFL playoffs on the final day, zipping Washington, 24-0. And on Sunday they had a real battle on their hands with a tough Chicago Bears defense, but QB Nick Foles kept his cool and they went ahead in the final minute, then hadta watch as Chicago got down into field goal territory to hopefully win, 18-16 in the last 14 seconds. Their kicker hit a field goal, but time was called by the Eagles coach, and he had to kick again. The ball was touched by an Eagle, and went against the left upright, bounced down on the crossbar into the field and the Eagles won 16-15. Wow! What an ending! But this Sunday might be the end of their fairytale story, as they play the New Orleans Saints again. Last time, the Eagles were blown away by 48 points from Drew Brees’ crew. . . .It rained some this week, but there was sunshine too, so I reckon it balances out. . . . Welcome to the new business in town, Bucks & Babes Beauty Studio, which I believe is a barber shop for men and women. That’s what we need in town, more new businesses. Many years ago, all of West Main Street consisted of businesses and now it’s mainly apartments. I’m glad to see how South Chestnut Street has all those new businesses. . . . Hadta laugh at that cartoon on page two of last week’s paper. How true it is. Wherever you go, you see people these days constantly tapping on their phones. I guess it’s to make words from all the
letters, or what they call texting. . . . Nice to see that local municipalities aren’t raising their taxes. . . . Bowlers are getting better scores as the season rolls along. . . . Government shutdown has federal workers on edge; Democrats and Republicans are split on President Trump’s call for a southern border wall, no matter what. Big money needed for it, but I can see human traffickers and drugs have to be stopped, so it’s one or the other I reckon. Look for a long fight. I’m glad I never got into politics. . . .Very soon, Groundhog Day and the grundsow lodsch dinners. . . .Have a good rest of 2019. Next year is 2020. Can you believe it?

interrogation. His parents were born in Austria-Hungary. After World War I, as a result of President Wilson’s 14-point statement after the war, Czechoslovakia was created. The country was transformed from a monarchy to a democratic republic. They lived in a town named
Partizanska Lupca. The community was primarily agricultural. The family lived on a farm, and his father, Adam, made wooden containers for cheese products. His aunt operated a dairy, which processed milk from the area. Jaroslav Mraz (Spring GloryFrost) was born on April 16, 1933. Their uncle owned a drycleaning store in New York City and needed help.

for Adam’s trip to the United States. The year was 1937. Fateful days awaited the people of their new country. Nazi Germany was on the march in 1938. Czechoslovakia’s future would be decided at the Munich Conference by Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain. Soon, its freedom would be lost. I am sure Mr. Mraz considered these circumstances when he left for America, leaving wife Ludmila and son Jaroslav at home. When Adam arrived in New York, he lived in the back room of the cleaning shop while working to pay his ship ticket and attempting to save enough money to bring his wife and son to America. Working long hours, he was able to save enough money to bring his son and wife to New York — the year, 1939. Ellis Island was no longer in operation. One had to have a sponsor and go through processing at the New York Customs House. There were strict procedures that had to be followed. They came to New York in steerage on the German passenger ship Europa. Jerry recalled, “The journey was quite an experience for a 6-year-old. As a youth, we never left our community. I was anxious and exited to see and live in America.”

philadelphia.cbslocal.com A new Pennsylvania law will empower law enforcement agencies to protect dogs and cats left unattended in hot cars. Gov. Tom Wolf signed The Motor Vehicle Extreme Heat Protection Act into law in October. The legislation allows police and humane officers new powers in saving the lives of innocent animals left alone in extremely hot vehicles. The law protects pets by establishing the following: • Officers can remove dogs or cats from an unattended motor vehicle if they believe the animal is in imminent danger after a reasonable search for the car owner. • Requires that an officer who removes a pet from an unattended vehicle must leave a note for the owner, with the officer’s information and where the pet can be picked up. • Updating the definition of neglect — prohibiting the confinement of a dog or cat in an unattended motor vehicle in a manner that would endanger the health and wellbeing of the animal. The law also protects officers who remove a pet from an unattended vehicle from liability for any damages. The act is the second major piece of legislation signed by Wolf that increases animal protections. “A few months ago, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of the first significant strengthening of Pennsylvania’s animal protection statutes in nearly 30 years with the enactment of Act 10 of 2017, which included Libre’s Law,” said Wolf. “Today, I am proud to sign this bill and build on the progress we have made for animals in the commonwealth. Thank you to the advocates and legislators who made this possible.” The bill also expands protections guaranteed to service dogs in housing and public places.

Membership in other activities is encouraged. Nearly half of our seventh and eighth grade student body fulfilled these strict requirements. “Emily puts in many hours of study and preparation so that she can achieve academic excellence. In addition to her schoolwork, she is involved in many extracurricular activities and community projects,” Olsen said. “Emily is a determined young lady. She sets goals for herself and works hard to achieve greatness. When I became aware that a chapter of the National Junior Honor Society would be started at Holy Family School, I had no doubts that Emily would be asked to join. Emily is an amazing young lady who is truly deserving of every success she achieves.” “When Mrs. Bruce informed all the students that they qualified for the National Junior Honor Society, I was thrilled to be a part of the group. I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my family the good news,” Emily said. “I work extremely hard and volunteer a lot of my spare time to help my school and community. I enjoy giving back and using my talents to inspire and help others.” Each inductee was presented with a certificate by Mrs Christine Bruce, the school principal. Heavilon said the group will meet monthly. Each member has to complete 10 individual service hours each year, and the group will take on a service project. And some of the members of the society will help their fellow students by tutoring them.

Hear The Summons?
Back in the days of the telegraph, a young man applied for a job as a Morse Code operator at a busy office filled with noise and clatter, including the sound of the telegraph in the background. A sign on the receptionist’s counter instructed applicants to fill out a form and wait until they were summoned to enter the inner office. The young man filled out his form and sat down with the seven other applicants in the waiting area. After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. The other applicants began muttering among themselves that they hadn’t heard any summons yet. Within a few minutes, the employer escorted the young man out of the office and said to the other applicants, “Gentlemen, thank you very much for coming, but the job has just been filled.” The other applicants began grumbling and one spoke up, “Wait a minute, he was the last to come in, and we never even got a chance to be interviewed--yet he got the job. That’s not fair!” The employer said, “I’m sorry, but the last several minutes while you’ve been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message in Morse Code: ‘If you understand this message, then come right in. The job is yours.’ None of you heard it or understood it. This young man did. The job is his.” We are so busy living in a world that is full of noise and clatter. People are distracted and are not hearing the still, small voice of the Lord as He summons, “Come unto me…and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). --Author Unknown, Adapted Have you heard and responded to the Lord’s summons? Are you listening for the summons “to meet the Lord in the air” when “the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)? See www.naog.ws/bilboard.htm

Sermonette
The Best Gift By Franklin L. Homme
As 2018 drew to a close, our minds were filled with thoughts of Christmas, manger scenes and Christmas carols reminding us of the most important event in history up until that time. But there is something else greater coming in the future – Jesus return. Most of us are familiar with the story of His birth, but how much do we know about His second coming? Do you remember the excitement you felt about Christmas when you were a kid? Some of you may have checked the tags on the gifts to find out which ones were yours and even may have shaken each one trying to guess what was inside. Then Christmas finally arrived; you couldn’t wait to tear the wrapping paper off so you could play with your new toy. (When I was a kid we got just one and we were happy.) With the passage of time and increased maturity, excitability regarding Christmas may change. But reason for celebrating may change too. The reason for celebrating grows deeper and more meaningful as our focus shifts from gifts to Christ. The tree should remind us of the tree Jesus died on to pay for our sins. The lights testify that He is the light of the world, and the gifts are mere shadows of the greatest gift ever given – Jesus Christ. What can we say about this priceless present? The giver of this amazing gift was God the Father. Jesus was the perfect gift. The son of God is the most precious gift given. God’s gift to us is eternal. So many of the presents we open Christmas

Day quickly become old and useless. Jesus Christ’s gift is both personal and universal; Jesus came to offer Himself as the sacrifice for our sins so all would believe in Him and call on His name for salvation (Rom. 10:11-13). When most people hear the word Christmas they think of gifts. Most believers will think of a baby in a manger and the story we hear so many times. We will probably receive many gifts in our lifetime, but the one who arrived on that first Christmas night in a stable is the only one that really matters and led to best gifts we could receive. Although you can’t see or touch Him, He is always with you if you know Him as your Savior. He’ll love you unconditionally, cleanse you from all sins, and one day bring us home to Himself in Heaven. No wonder Paul exclaimed, “Thanks be for His indescribable gift,” (Cor. 9:15). Now that the New Year has arrived, consider whether you are ready to meet the Lord when He returns. I pray that the exception of His return will draw you to Him and encourage you to live with the hope of seeing Jesus face to face. Our sons and daughters fight for our freedom but the one who leads us to freedom is always the same- faithful, powerful, and true. Once we understand the true significance of Christmas, our attitude should change about Christmas; it’s more than trees, lights, gifts, and parties. I hope you are willing to turn your heart over to God and have a great 2019 year. Are you more interested in what Jesus can do for you? Consider starting the New Year by reevaluating your commitment to the Lord.
