Council grants retirement of Longtime public works employee By JUSTIN SWEITZER In their first meeting of the year on Jan. 5, Northampton Borough Council granted the retirement request of Frederick Stubits who served the borough for nearly 40 years as an employee in the public works department. Stubits sent an early retirement request to borough council to be effective on April 1, ending his 37-year -tint as a certified opera-
tor at the borough’s wastewater treatment plant. Multiple members of council praised Stubits for his service to the borough, which began on June 23, 1980. “He was an excellent employee who served the borough well,” said Councilman Ed Pany. Borough council also filled various openings and positions at the meeting, appointing Ger-
ald Deily to a five-year-term on the Northampton Borough Municipal Authority Board; Sylvia Wasko and Richard Ackerman to three-year-terms on the Zoning Hearing Board; John Yurish to a five-year-term on the Board of Health; and Nicholas Politi, Kenneth Hall and Joan Marinkovits to four-year-terms on the borough’s Planning Commission. Members of council also passed
a resolution to set fees for various applications, permits and licenses within the borough. No increases will occur and all fees will stay the same. Councilman Tony Pristash announced that the recreation center will be holding new eightweek-fitness programs. One will be a combination of pilates and Continued on page 8

East Allen Township Planning Commission Holds first meeting of the new year
By KERI LINDENMUTH The East Allen Township Planning Commission held its first meeting of 2017 on Thursday, January 5. With the start of the new year, members of the committee took
the time to elect its leadership. Don Heiney was named chairperson, David Miller was chosen as vice-chairperson and Norm Daniel was elected secretary. The meeting began with a representative from Vertek Con-
Estelle R. Stein D.D.S. 116 S. Walnut St., Bath, PA 18014
struction Management, which has proposed development on Airport Road. The representative asked that Vertek work with the township and its’ staff to hold a workshop meeting, during which they can review a letter compiled
by the planning commission. With such cooperation, Vertek hopes to better understand the suggestions and statements made by the commission. “It would be a better use of the time of everyone involved,”

Vertek’s representative said. Edward Schlaner of the Martin Shular Company also stood before the commission. His company is representing the property owners of 7250 Airport Road, the proposed sight of a small landscaping company. Together, Schlaner and the commission went through a series of waivers to come to a better understanding of how to proceed with the project. Among the waivers discussed were sidewalks, streetlights and geology reports. While council agreed that streetlights and a geology report may not be needed, it stopped short of making the same assumption in regard to sidewalks. “I do not ever like to waive sidewalk requirements,” said Commissioner Judith Ladonis. If the property adjacent to or adjoining the land is developed and the township requires it have sidewalks, “it is difficult to put them in afterwards,” she continued. Other matters affecting the property, however, are in what Heiney called “limbo.” A PennDOT traffic study of the area is still ongoing. Any suggestions PennDOT makes may influence the plans for the property. If the study requires that an acceleration lane be implemented for a planned warehouse on Airport Road, a “potential loss of frontage would be the biggest concern,” Heiney added. An extension was recommended to Schlaney before he presents his plan to the Board of Supervisors. Finally, Griffin Industrial Realty, which has filed a conditional use appeal petition for a warehouse at 7230 Beth Bath Pike, returned before the planning commission. The commission made a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for conditional use subject to two conditions: a prohibition of on-site vehicle fueling and either the installation of public water or a variance. (Note: The conditional use hearing was held a week later on Wednesday, January 11, and will be reported in next week’s issue.)

For the health-minded individual
What will It take I’m not sure about anyone else, but I can be stubborn. I find as the years move along that if I would just take the advice my wife is giving, life would be a whole lot easier. I say that tongue -in-cheek but candidly it holds much truth. Looking back I see how procrastination, addressing many of life’s situations and circumstances only led to additional stress and angst. I have learned that you can keep kicking the can down the road but one day you will wake up with a sore foot. To the point, there always has, and I suspect always will be a moment of complete clarity when one says to oneself, “I

needed to be done some time prior. So I ask you, what it will take for you to say “Enough.” Maybe it is getting fed up with all the sugar you are consuming that you know is killing you. (Yes killing). Or maybe it’s diet soda, breadaholic tendencies, cigarettes, candy, chips or something else standing in the way of your way of health, peace, and contentment. At what point will you have enough? This article is geared toward health and healing, as it should be. However, we are all aware that relational issues also have a dramatic and widespread impact on our health, emotions and spirit. With that said, what will it take for you to face whatever you need to face and move forward with your life? I suspect this question cannot be answered until that moment comes, that moment being the “final straw.” It is typical that when the moment comes, you don’t necessarily even know how you will overcome or the path to take. You just know you will no longer stand for “it.” I never said such a moment
is fun or the aftermath easy. It most assuredly isn’t. However, it truly is freeing. That internal sense of “this is the way it’s going to be from now on, and I could truly care less about what others think” is life changing. When I converse with individuals who share the what, why and how of things they have endured and how they overcame it, it brings a smile to my face. I get it. If you have ever put up with something for far too long and have faced it head-on, then you know what I am speaking about. If you used to smoke and tried numerous times to stop and failed, yet now you conquered it, isn’t that an amazing feeling? Or if, you have truly been an alcoholic maybe lost a job and sadly your family over it, but now you are on the other side of that and, while still dealing with the aftermath of so many poor decisions, you are in no way going back to where you once were. That is victory. Just this week I was speaking with a person who once had a serious addiction to bread yet the gluten was wreaking havoc on her gut and leading to swelling in her ankles. When she finally had enough of reliving the same senseless cycle, her life changed, dramatically. Not only does she look absolutely amazing, I’d say

at least 10 years younger, and she feels incredible. Virtually. all of her aches and pains have been resolved. She also related such a feeling of emotional balance and calmness. Yes, she had enough. It took a long, long, time and much self-inflicted suffering, yet look at her go now. I also understand there are those who may be reading this week and are just angry with themselves that they feel they are too weak to address what they know they should. If that’s you, know that it’s not where you’re at, it’s where you’re going. Keep that in mind. Keep that with you as you approach your own personal place where the line in the sand is drawn. It’ll be like magic. In fact, there will come a day when you look back and can’t believe that you put up with “it” that long. Be bold. The new happier, healthier you is waiting.

Grow UR Biz
by CAROL RITTER
The worst Restaurants in The world This is one list most restaurants don’t want to be on. As I read through the two lists that highlight why restaurants end up on the list, I noticed they all seemed to have a lot of things in common:
1. Their food wasn’t fresh. 2. They served a poor quality of food. 3. Poor service was noticeable. 4. There were excessive noise levels. 5. They had problematic food prep. 6. There was a dirty environment.
Many Americans frequently eat in restaurants. Having said that, I have to wonder why this happens and how we as patrons overlook it. Some of these restaurants/take-out places are names you would surely recognize. After reading this and giving it a lot of thought I wondered about your business. Sometimes many of these issues matter to
those shopping, buying or just visiting your biz. We might want to answer these questions before opening our doors every morning:
• Is your business clean and tidy? • Is your customer service prompt and genuine? • Is your staff courteous? • If you have music, is the sound welcoming? • Is your service or product high quality? • Does your customer walk in and know they are number one?
Answer these questions and if “yes” is the answer for most of them, then you need not worry; you will never end up on the
“worst businesses in the world list.” If you can’t answer yes, you may want to make some serious changes for 2017.

some of my senior friends to tell me about the old rumble seats. My first question was, “how did you get into the small back seat?” Well, first you stepped on the running board; then on the fender, which had a small, treadpiece attached to the fender; then you hopped into the seat. In those days, the ladies wore long dresses, which made it even more difficult to get into the rumble seat. It was a small space, a tight squeeze for two people to ride in the seat. But if you were riding with a boyfriend, it made it much cozier. Ladies wore hats to save their hair from wind and dust. In those days every teenager wanted a convertible with a rumble seat. The Model T Ford was a very popular choice for young drivers. I recall seeing ads with photos of a young college man, wearing the popular long fur coat, driving a roadster with his

best gal by his side and another couple squeezed into the rumble seat in the back. My own dad had a Willys Knight with a rumble seat. It was cool to own a sporty convertible in those days. In fact, in 1935 my parents drove across the country to see the Grand Canyon, the California Redwoods and many other sites in the western states. It must have been fun. I guess I’ll never get the chance to ride in a rumble seat as they are no longer around.

Plans for dedication of Sleepy Hollow Road move forward
Give old electronics new life Submitted by ROY SENECA If the holiday season brought you new cellphones, laptops, tablets or other electronics, it’s time to make plans on how to recycle your older items. An estimated one billion recyclable electronics devices worth approximately $285 billion were sold in 2015. That comes out to be about three million pounds of electronics that could be recycled. Don’t put your old electronics out with the trash. Think green this year and take steps to help protect the environment by either donating or recycling your older electronics. Recycling electronics-also knows as E-cycling- keeps harmful toxins out of the waste stream, recovers valuable materials, conserves virgin resources and results in lower emissions (including greenhouse gases) than making products from virgin materials. Donating your older electronics to individuals or organizations helps conserve resources and natural materials. However, it is important to make sure you are donating and/or recycling electronics safely and correctly. Before donating or recycling your used electronics: For your computer or laptop, consider upgrading the hardware or software instead of buying a

Bath at PNC Bank
On January 6 at 4:55 p.m., an alert customer called Northampton County dispatch and reported a masked man entering the PNC Bank in Bath. Shortly thereafter, PNC Bank confirmed a robbery did in fact occur and the actor wearing a ski mask, gloves and a green jacket fled the bank with money in a tan minivan. The actor and his van were located at the Penn Jersey gas station just south of the borough by responding Colonial Regional Police units. Cleon Edwards, 49 of Bath, was taken into custody without incident. CRPD was assisted by PSP and Moore Township Police.
Arson on South Chestnut Street
On November 16, CRPD and Bath Fire Department responded to the area of S. Chestnut Street and W. Main Street for a fire on the sidewalk. Upon arrival, adult citizens had already put out the fires. It was then learned that there were two small fires in the area, along two separate walls of homes in the area. Through police investigation, it was learned that a juvenile male from S. Chestnut Street set both fires. The juvenile was charged with Arson and related offenses through the Northampton County Juvenile Court.
By KERI LINDENMUTH All but two Sleepy Hollow Road property owners appeared at the monthly Borough of Bath council meeting on Tuesday, January 3 to voice their support for the dedication of the road to the borough. The fate of Sleepy Hollow Road has been a point of discussion in the borough for several months. When the borough attempted to use state funds to make repairs to the road, it was denied upon the discovery that the road was never a dedicated borough road and had in fact always been a private drive. Sleepy Hollow Road’s status as a private drive means that the borough cannot perform repairs on the road or, what has worried many residents as the winter grows colder, plow snow or salt ice. Other road maintenance that requires borough vehicles and equipment also cannot be conducted for liability reasons. To transfer ownership to the borough, all who own the twelve parcels of property along the road must be in agreement. “We need 100 percent cooperation for the deed of dedication to fix and maintain the road,” explained Council President Mark Saginario. Property owners in attendance gave their verbal agreement to the road’s dedication. It was mentioned that the two property owners who were not in attendance will also more than likely be in agreement. With verbal agreement to dedicating the road acquired, the borough and borough engineer can now move forward in creating an updated map of the road, its centerline, and right of way. After seeing the map, property owners can decide whether or not they will give written approval. Yet, as residents feared, it appears this winter they will not have borough plows helping them dig out from any upcoming snowstorms. However, because
the borough also owns property on the road, they will help residents pay for a private snowplow to get them through the winter, should it be needed. With updated maps, title work, legal fees and engineering costs, council warns that dedicating the road is “still going to be a long process.” Yet verbal agreement and cooperation by residents is a strong and encouraging sign. Also on the agenda for the night was news on the future municipal building at 121-125 S. Walnut Street, where Thirst Quenchers currently operates. The borough now owns the property and Thirst Quenchers will phase out by the end of June. The borough will move into the building in July and expects to have its first council meeting there in November. “[We are] finally able to have a borough building in the middle of town, accessible to everybody,” says Saginario. A committee has been put together to help with the move. Saginario describes the committee as one that combines “a lot of different ideas from different ends of the spectrum.” To help the borough “move house,” a resolution was passed at the meeting, allowing for the disposition of specific borough records. Records for decades have been stored in the current municipal building and this resolution will allow the borough to go through the records, organizing some and disposing of others. The new municipal building is just one of the changes the council is looking forward to in the new year. “[We are] making some positive steps,” said Saginario. He listed the new building and upcoming Paw Park as encouraging moves forward, in addition to the newfound partnership with local state legislators who have helped back many grants that have made the changes in the borough possible.

BATH AREA preservation should go directly to the township who contributed using EIT money. Allocating that money for other municipalities who have not implemented an EIT was viewed as unfair by members of Moore’s Land Preservation Board. “Why shouldn’t our taxpayers benefit 100 percent because they’ve stepped up?” said Romano. “We get the tax here, let the money stay here.”

Moore Township strives for 100 Percent of state-matched funds By JUSTIN SWEITZER Just days after Moore Township supervisors voted 2-1 in favor of pledging Earned Income Tax funds only in exchange for 100 percent of the state-matched funds for farm preservation purposes, the Moore Township Land Preservation Board held a meeting on Jan 9. where they discussed the fallout and details surrounding the move. With the 2-1 vote, Moore Township became the third township in Northampton County to vote in favor of pledging money while asking for their respective township to receive 100 percent of state-matched funds in return. Bob Romano, chairman of the Land Preservation Board, said that in recent years the percentage of
PETERSVILLE ROD & GUN CLUB
state-matched funds that the township has received for farmland preservation has been decreasing, with the leftover funds allocated for other purposes. Romano said the percentages have been continually dropping, with Moore Township receiving only 39 percent of statematched funds in 2015. In a letter sent to Northampton County Council, Plainfield Township resident Don Moore addressed a concern that municipalities could be pushed to accept zero percent of these state-matched funds, leaving the money to be allocated elsewhere. “The request for 2017 that municipalities accept quite possibly zero percent of the state matching on their pledged EIT funds is unac-
BLOCK SHOOT
ceptable to the townships that have considered and voted on the request thus far,” Moore said. “There is no incentive for a municipality without an EIT to implement one, if they can rely on county funds and the matching EIT pledges from other municipalities to fund preservation in their community.”
NOW! BIGGER PAYOUTS!
The board also expressed interest in adopting new tactics to increase the amount of land preservation applicants they are receiving. With only two applicants slated for 2017, the board discussed meeting with members involved with land preservation in Bushkill Township to trade ideas and strategies to increase the amount of applications. The board is also looking into contacting local newspapers to spread the word about their land preservation efforts.

PA Turnpike Commission Reminds Travelers Of 2017 toll Increase
New rates, slated for capital improvements and infrastructure
R I A F B O J n o i t Transporta Submitted by CARL DEFABO The PA Turnpike Commission reminds travelers that at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 8, tolls began to reflect a six-percent increase for both cash and E-ZPass customers. The toll increase — approved by commissioners last July — is needed to meet the PTC’s funding obligations. These include rebuilding and widening the PA Turnpike, a 550-mile system that is, in part, more than 75 years old, as well as providing funding to support the commonwealth’s public transportation needs. “We have a responsibility to

NORTHAMPTON AREA Mako takes oath of office To begin first term as State Representative Submitted by TRACY POLOVICK Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/ Northampton) was joined in Harrisburg by 22 other first-term legislators as he took the oath of office in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on January 3. The newly sworn-in state representative has vowed to fight for property tax reform, job creation and infrastructure improvements. “I am eager to begin my work in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and continue in former Rep. Julie Harhart’s footsteps,” Mako said. “With my background in finance, I am committed to keeping taxes low. We must find creative ways to tackle the current budget deficit in order for Pennsylvania to remain open for business.” An almost life-long resident of Walnutport, Mako graduated from Northampton Area High School and joined the Pennsylvania National Guard in January 2008. As a Chinook helicopter pilot, he was deployed to Afghanistan in December 2012 for nine months supporting Operation En-
during Freedom. In 2016, he was selected to be an adviser to Estonia’s top military officials. While serving our country, Mako also completed his bachelor’s degree in finance from Kutztown University in December 2015. Mako’s district office staff is available to help constituents with state-related problems or concerns. The office addresses are 2030 Center St., Northampton and in the Slatington Borough Hall, 125 S. Walnut St., Slatington. Both offices are open from 9 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday. The Northampton office can be reached at 610-502-2701. The Slatington office telephone number is 610-760-9805. More state information is available on Mako’s website, www. RepMako.com, and his Facebook page at Facebook.com/RepMako. There, visitors will find information on the latest legislative developments in Harrisburg state programs and the latest happenings in the 183rd District. The 183rd District includes South Whitehall (part), Washington and Whitehall (part) townships and Slatington Borough in Lehigh County. It also consists of Allen, Lehigh and Moore (part) townships, and North Catasauqua, Northampton and Walnutport boroughs in Northampton County.

NAZARETH AREA Nazareth Council says ‘hands are tied’ in Negotiations with public works By JUSTIN SWEITZER As Nazareth Borough Council voted to extend the previous contract with the borough’s public works employees at their Jan. 3 meeting, Councilman Lance Colondo made sure to clear the air regarding the questioned relationship between borough council and the borough’s public works department. The borough’s public works department has been working without a new contract since 2012, which has prompted the board to continually renew the 2012 contract and follow its guidelines until new negotiations are scheduled. Colondo looked to dispel rumors circulating throughout town that the borough has refused to give public works employees a raise due to a personal grudge against the public works department. “I think we need to get some additional information out to the public regarding extending this contract indefinitely until new negotiations are scheduled. I’ve been on council for four years now and it seems like every year since I’ve been on council some type of commentary comes up during the year that there’s some type of beef or issue between the members of council and the borough’s public works department,” Colondo said. “I think I can speak for all council people here that we have absolutely no problem and the utmost respect for our highway superintendent, and the job he does for the borough.” “There is no issue between borough council and the highway department,” Colondo said. All members voted in favor of the extension, minus Council-
man Carl Fischl, who did not believe that the extension should be “indefinite.” According to members of council, the borough has reached out to the Nazareth Borough Employees Association, the public works department’s bargaining unit, multiples times to resume negotiations but have received no response. “Let me say that it is not borough council that is not willing to come to the table to negotiate this contract,” Colondo said. He believes the sticking point in negotiations relates to health care coverage. Currently, public works employees do not contribute to their health care coverage, as their health care costs are absorbed by the borough. Colondo said that council believes these employees must begin to contribute to their health coverage. “We feel that there has to be some sort of pay-in now because of the cost of healthcare, because currently it’s on the taxpayers.” In other business, the council passed a resolution that establishes the structure, terms and policies of a Nazareth Day Commission. Donald Broad was appointed to a five-year term on the commission, and former mayor Carl Strye Jr. was also appointed to serve on the commission. Strye was additionally appointed to serve a two-year term as an alternate on the ambulance board. Mayor John Samus opened the meeting by swearing-in Fire Chiefs Danny Keenhold and Chris Keenhold, as well as members of the special fire police force. Those members were Troy Keenhold, William Keifer, John Gostony, Kerry Frey and John Ashworth.
Borough council also made a motion setting the dates and times of all workshop and general business meetings for 2017. All meetings will have a start time of 6 p.m.

Never Thirst Again?
During a tiring journey, Jesus Christ asked a woman for a refreshing drink of water. As a Samaritan, she was surprised a Jew would ask her for a drink. Jesus sensed her spiritual emptiness and told her if she had known Who He was, she would have asked of Him and He would have given her “living water.” He told her, “Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” The woman eagerly responded “Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not” (John 4:13-15). Her spiritual thirst and dissatisfaction with the fleeting pleasures of life were apparent as Jesus revealed that she had had five husbands and was living at the time with yet another man. She was astonished He knew this! Jesus revealed Himself to her as the Messiah, and she discovered that He is the Well—the Source of the soul-satisfying water of life! Like this woman, you may be seeking what you will never find in illicit sex, drugs, or alcohol. Jesus knows our human longings and declares, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink” (John 7:37). For more on this see http://www.naog.ws/thirsty.htm Jesus promises, “he that believeth on me shall never thirst” (John 6:35). He assures, “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely” (Revelation 21:6). Believe Jesus and respond now to His invitation, “let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely” (Revelation 22:17). Just cry out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart. Drink of the “water of life” and you will never thirst again!

Animal rescue group takes on Dogs being left out in the cold Guardians of Rescue gets outdoor pets off chains and into heated dog houses for free
submitted by CHER MURPHY One year ago, a community was rocked by an image of a frozen dog that was posted on social media by an animal control center in New Jersey. The dog had been found frozen to death on a city street, and the picture was posted as a message to others of how dangerous winter temperatures are for pets, and how important it is to take action to help keep them safe throughout the winter. In order to avoid recurring images like the one posted last winter, it’s crucial that people take pet winter safety seriously.
Guardians of Rescue, which has a new show called “The Guardians” that premiered on January 7, 2017 at 10 p.m. on Animal Planet, has been actively seeking out those dogs in the areas of New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia that are in need of proper shelter. Their mission is to get dogs from being chained outside to at least having a fenced-in area with a heated dog house, at no charge to the pet’s owner.
by providing it with better onsite living conditions. In addition to helping pets to have access to better shelter, the group has been providing homeless people in New York City with coats, and providing them with dog jackets and blankets for their pets. “We all feel guilty sleeping in a warm bed at night knowing so many need shelter, but when we know of an animal who is suffering, we get there ASAP,” says Misseri. “We found out a dog was on a chain with a subpar shelter on Christmas Day, so we gave them a heated dog house, and large pen, so we could get him off the chain. We do a lot of work to help the animals, but we can’t do it alone, we need the community to get involved, too.”
GOR goes into some of the most dangerous areas in order to help dogs that have been left outside without proper shelter. They first attempt to get the owner to surrender the pet to the rescue group, so they can find a better home for it, but if they resist, Many people don’t realize the then they do the next best thing seriousness of pets being left outside during frigid temperatures.

“Every winter there are animals found dead, injured, or ill because they are not being properly taken care of,” stated Robert Misseri, founder and president of Guardians of Rescue, an animal rescue organization. “Our team puts in a great effort to help as many pets as we can, but we don’t do it all on our own. We are
urging the communities to get involved in helping to keep the pets in their area safe throughout the winter chill.”

Shorten your dog’s walk when it’s very cold to help protect you both. Elderly pets may also have a difficult time walking on snow and ice. Short-haired pets will usually feel the cold more than those with more fur and body fat. Keep this in mind when it comes to determining how long to take them for a walk. If your dog will allow it, put a sweater on them when taking them
out on very cold days. When brining your pet back in from a walk in the snow or on ice, be sure to wipe them down to remove any deicing chemicals that may be on their fur. Pets should always be indoors during freezing temperatures. Once the temperature drops below 40 degrees, pets should be brought indoors. For those who cannot keep their dog inside, opt for having a heated dog house, so they are kept warm during the winter. Pay attention to the dogs in your community left outdoors without proper shelter. They suffer horribly and need people to stand up and speak out for them. Such situations should be reported so they can be investigated. A common deadly substance that pets come in contact with is antifreeze. Because it has a pleasant taste to them, they will drink it, making it crucial that any spilled on the ground is quickly cleaned up. Also, pets should never be left alone in a vehicle during the cold weather. “We have seen way too many dogs that live outside with very poor shelter, and they suffer so much,” added Misseri. “We have made it our mission to go out in full force and try to help as many of those dogs that we can. The laws on leaving pets
out like that are very weak, so we have to do what we can to help make a difference for the animals.” The community can assist GOR by watching out for animals in need and contacting the organization when they see those in distress. Guardians of Rescue provides assistance to animals out on the streets, helping to rescue them, provide medical care, food and shelter, and find foster-home placements.. They are also instrumental in helping military personal bring back their pets from the Middle East.

About Guardians of Rescue Based in New York, Guardians of Rescue is an organization whose mission is to protect the well-being of all animals.
