Looking by Back Ed Pany A Legion Meeting (Originally published in 2004)
It’s Wednesday, 7 p.m., and I’m over at the Legion home in Bath. I have never attended a Legion meeting, so I requested permission from Commander Arthur C. Diehl to observe a meeting. When I entered the home, a voice rang out, “It’s Mr. Pany, don’t leave him in, he made me write the dictionary when I was over at Northampton High School. Would someone open the door?” The door opened and to my surprise, I was face to face with a former student who is now the fine steward of the Legion, Mr. Bob Sipple.
With a hearty laugh and a handshake he invited me in. The next man I met was Jim Rice, another former student who now resides in Nazareth and is an active member of the home house committee. The meeting was called to order by Commander Diehl with a moving salute to the flag, pledge to the flag, reciting of the Legion preamble, a prayer and remembering our M.I.A’s from all wars. Discussion and active participation by the members covered Continued on page 2

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Northampton Borough Council held their first meeting of the New Year on January 6. Both old and new council members were sworn in during the reorganizational meeting, and the borough appointed several individuals to boards and committees.

By JASON KAMERY The Upper Nazareth Township Planning Commission met on Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. to discuss elevations, stormwater management and 3D renderings for Project Tadmor. Project Tadmor is the construction of an industrial building along Gun Club Road. Jim Vozar of JVI, LLC started his presentation by showing a 3D rendering of a drive- by the building from Gun Club Road. The rendering showed a berm before and after the driveway, the former
being four feet tall, the latter being about seven or eight feet tall. The rendering also showed added shrubbery that was asked for by the township. “The planting there is at time of construction,” Vozar said. “As time goes on the plants will mature and the canopies will get much larger. So the screening will be greater.” Upper Nazareth Township Engineer Sean Dooley discussed with JVI, LLC, how to reroute Continued on page 10

New Year New Liver I have thought long about what
my first article of 2020 should be about. What possibly could I say that would impact your life for the better? I was thinking about recycling the same old platitudes yet felt it would fall far short of what you, me, we all needed to hear. So out of the gate, I am here to say that if you want to be a better version of yourself this year then please give thought to the health of your liver. I understand how funny this may sound yet this is no laughing matter. To the point, the liver handles the cleaning of massive amounts of your blood on a daily basis in two ways; one is that what you eat travels to and through the gut and those nutrients, (and parasite
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
particles, bacteria, fungus, pesticides, metals and all bad things that per chance get through defenses), enter the blood via portal veins straight into the liver and second, oxygenated blood travels straight into the liver from what is called the hepatic artery. The blood is then “cleaned” and then the heart “slurps up” this clean blood from the liver via what is called the hepatic vein. Has anyone ever told you this before? I ask as this is really important to 99 percent of the people who are reading at this very moment. So important in fact that I believe your life depends on grasping what I am saying. In a prior article I wrote about dirty blood and how our organs clean and then recycle the blood. The liver is a primary source of blood cleansing along with kidneys. So

it makes sense that if your liver is overburdened and mistreated for many, many decades, at some point it won’t be able to handle the work load. (Stay with me.) You see, when the liver can no longer clean blood properly we believe unclean blood can get back into circulation. As stated, directly back up to the heart. Do you even understand the implication of what I just said? The liver is so overlooked as a primary reason a lot of people are sick. Sick liver equals sick person. If you heed what I am saying and start learning to care and clean your liver, I believe your health can change dramatically in a relatively short period of time. While we don’t have the room today to Continued on page 9

Stories From Emergency fuel Assistance for My Heart by Cynthia Northampton Snyder-DeLuca County residents Around Each Corner
Each day when we wake up and our feet touch the floor, we are guaranteed a brandnew start. It doesn't matter whether it is sunny or raining, cloudy or foggy, or snowing; it is a promise from above. A new opportunity to make better choices, to help others, to love our family and friends unconditionally, to forgive those who have hurt us, and ask for forgiveness from those whom we have hurt. A new day to show compassion, to instill hope in all we meet, to be the best person we can be, and to keep dreaming, dreams near and dear to our hearts. When I take my walks, I am reminded of what my mother said more than once while I was growing up. She told me that you never know what's around a corner. Mom was right; just like each day is a new start, loaded with opportunities and adventures, turning a corner can lead to helping others. You never know who you will meet. It might be a senior citizen or a mother pushing a stroller, or someone walking a dog. Although you might not know the person or persons, it's what you do when you round the corner that makes the difference. Making eye contact, saying, "Hello," and smiling might be the best medicine for someone who is lonely. Make an effort. It is so worth it. For me, those corners take on special meaning each time I turn them. When I walk, I love to say little prayers. I pray for the shops I pass, those whom I meet, those driving down the street, and the dogs that greet

State Police announces quarterly firearms purchase Denial investigations Submitted by BRENT MILLER The Pennsylvania State Police announced the number of firearms purchase denials, subsequent investigations, and arrests resulting from such investigations for the fourth quarter of 2019. The Pennsylvania Instant Check System is used by county sheriffs, chiefs of police of cities of the first class, and licensed firearms dealers in Pennsylvania to determine an individual’s legal ability to acquire a license to carry firearms or obtain a firearm
through a purchase or transfer. When an individual provides false information on a state and/ or federal form, an investigation is initiated, and an investigation referral is sent to the corresponding law enforcement agency. In Pennsylvania, a person commits a felony of the third degree if they make a false oral or written statement on any federal or state agency form or willfully presents false identification that is likely to deceive the seller, licensed dealer, or licensed manufacturer.
During the PICS process, individuals may also be identified as having an active warrant for their arrest. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the following investigations were initiated by the Pennsylvania State Police Firearms Division and referred to troops, municipal police departments, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for further investigation and possible prosecution. Statistics for the fourth quarter of 2018 are included for comparison.

Hi gang…another week has passed and we’re one step closer to the Super Bowl. The Chiefs really blew the Texans out of the water, that was quite the turnaround! I walked away from my TV after first quarter and couldn’t believe it when I came back before half time…Speakin’ of sports, the Bath Allen Youth Club spring 2020 baseball registration is now open. That warm weather last weekend really had me dreaming for spring and some baseball. Let’s see if we get the winter storm this weekend like they’re projecting… time marches on, it feels like it was just Christmas and now I’m seeing Valentine’s dinners and dances scheduled and the local high schools are announcing their spring musicals! Hats off to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Bath for hosting a sew-a-thon this weekend. Items sewn will be sent to rescues to help comfort and heal animals affected by the Australia wildfires. My heart goes out to Australia and all those poor animals, and also to Puerto Rico after those earthquakes… While on a somber subject…we are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Karen Grube. She was real involved within Moore Township, with Moore Township Association for Families in Need, the historical society and more. Our thoughts are with her family…Well done to Bath public works employee John Ashworth. He was the first to arrive to the fire in Bath a few weeks ago and he saved the people that were still in the duplex. He used his body to break their fall to escape the flames. Now that’s what I call a hero. Thank you John Ashworth for your service…I’ve been hearing some buzz lately about the nativity scene that was vandalized in Nazareth, apparently a statue’s head was broken off and the face was scratched, that’s a real shame…Any who, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is on Monday, and that’s it for me for this week… Cya next week gang!

BATH AREA Bath employee saved 2 Trapped in burning duplex By HOME NEWS STAFF Nazareth native John Ashworth, a Bath Borough public works employee, is being lauded a hero after saving the two people that was trapped in the burning Bath duplex on Jan. 3. Ashworth saw smoke near Sacred Heart Church that morning and was the first to arrive to the scene. The Bath volunteer firefighter wasted no time as he rushed towards the flames to help. Bonita Morsching and her son Ryan Morsching Jr. made it safely out of the home, however Bonita's daughter Destiny, and her daughter’s boyfriend Terrance Meyers, were still in the house,
trapped on the second floor. Bonita and her son were found waving for help on the sidewalk. Ashworth assessed the situation and managed to convince Morsching to safely wait outside. Destiny and Terrance were forced to jump from a second floor window as the fire quickly spread to the roof, garage and nearby propane tanks. Ashworth shouted to the couple, “We are out of time, you need to jump to me.” Ashworth broke their fall by using his body. “He literally saved my family’s lives,” said Bonita Morsching, “He saved my daughter.” The 23-year veteran was treat-

ed for smoke inhalation but did not suffer any injuries. Borough Manager Brad Flynn stated he was “super proud of him. It speaks to the quality of the individuals we have on our crew here. It was intense…that fire could have resulted in a death.” At being called a hero, Ashworth remarked, “I lived a good life, and if the good Lord calls me home tomorrow, I want to go out doing what I love to do, which is helping people...I was there at the right time and they were blessed to have someone there who knew what was going on.” It is estimated that 10 fire departments responded to the scene. The cause of the fire is still unknown and is still under investigation by the borough fire department and the state police fire marshal at time of print.
Bath Council Further Discusses Rental Inspection Ordinance By HOME NEWS STAFF
Last Wednesday, Jan. 8, Council met to discuss the Rental Inspection and Registry Ordinance. Shannon Callouri from CodeMaster Inspection Services was present to field questions from Council. She has been donating time to aid in the drafting of an ordinance that incorporates items compiled by the joint residentlandlord-Council committee. Ms. Callouri noted that there are approximately 475 rentals on the books in the Borough now, but more may be found upon implementing the ordinance. Councilman Frank Hesch asked questions on how the ordinance would assist both landlords and tenants. He also questioned how the procedure would be laid out for the office. Council expressed concerns over how to classify properties that may do weekly or monthly rentals such as Airbnb’s or hotels. Manager Flynn noted that this would not require additional staffing, but would require the part-time office secretary become full-time. Additional time from code enforcement for inspections would be covered by the rental license fees. There was some discussion on how neighbors may make complaints regarding rental properties or the tenants. Complaints would need to be filed with the office and addressed accordingly by code enforcement as it is currently done. Council President
Mark Saginario questioned how reports would be completed. Manager Flynn explained the office has already been transitioning to new software to track permits. This same system would track rentals and inspections. Property owner Joseph Tavianini remarked
that all properties should be inspected and not solely rentals. It was noted that the committee did discuss adding provisions for resale inspections which would apply to all other properContinued on page 11

lobby, or even the owner drinking alcohol with the customers. But the number one problem, besides cash flow, is that every hotel has an issue with the staff. 1. A hotel in Alaska had a bartender that pretty much hosted a party for locals every night in the hotel bar, essentially keeping travelers away. He also gave away more alcohol than he sold. 2. A hotel where guests could not find the actual hotel due to signage. 3. A hotel where the rooms were so filthy that they were trashed so badly on social media they had to change their name. Regarding the employees, in one story there was the manager of housekeeping. Every single
one of her employees said she was nasty and unfair to them. She went through 60 housekeepers in one year. Anthony, who created the show, told the owner about this and his answer was that she’s a friend of the owners and can’t be fired. She was protected. Have you ever been in a circumstance where you worked with someone who is protected? No matter what they did wrong they were never fired or corrected. It’s a rough situation for other employees. I have seen this over and over again in my career. The bottom line is they get away with anything including being rude to customers, staff and sometimes even the management. And at the end of the day, they cost the owners money. Lessons from Anthony Melchiorri: 1. Stay away from hiring friends and relatives. 2. Hire people for their skills not their relationships. 3. Don’t mix family and business. 4. If you show favoritism toward employees it will cause trou-

If the owner was not willing to take care of these issues he was ready to have the hotel condemned. In this case it was the general manager who was the problem. And yes, she was protected.

an underground pipe closer to the building and change the geometry of it so they can increase plantings next to the building, helping to hide the view of the building from the street. One township resident asked if JVI, LLC could increase the height of the berms and add more trees and mitigating factors for the project to make it more accommodating for the residents who live nearby. “The point is they are do-
ing more already,” Dooley said. “There is no berming or buffering required on the front of an industrial property, according to the ordinance as it is currently written. The applicant is providing berming and buffering where it is not required.” Another resident asked about noise coming from the trucks from the building. Vozar explained how the building is set about 12 feet below street level and went through the building’s sightline plans that show the amount of plants and foliage the sound would have to travel through. One resident asked about which roads the con-
struction trucks would take to get to the building because there are school bus stops on some of the surrounding roads. “248 is a three digit PennDOT road, it’s a straight shot from 33, I don’t know why a truck would come another direction, but Google does crazy things and we can’t control Google or the truck driver,” Vozar said. “If they come up Newburg Road onto Gun Club Road, that’s against what we said to do.” Further discussion is expected at the next planning commission meeting at 7 p.m. on Feb. 13 at the municipal building.

Nazareth Natives Will restore Vandalized Nativity
by HOME NEWS STAFF Last Tuesday, Jan. 7, Nazareth’s nativity scene was discovered vandalized. The statue of Joseph’s head was broken off and the face had been scratched. The Regional Chamber of Commerce purchased the nativity over 20 years ago. It was unclear who currently owned the nativity and who would be in charge of handling its repairs. Moravian Church owns the circle where the nativity is displayed, however the Regional Chamber of Commerce made the purchase of the scene. Even though an estimate to fix the nativity was submitted, a public fund has been started and donations from the community will be accepted. Barry Hoch, a longtime NazaContinued on page 11

Home Improvement
Top 10 organization Tips for your home www.containerstore.com 1. Start in one place If you have several areas in your home you want to get under control, start with just one. You decide which one to start with — is it the area that gives you the biggest headache, or the area that guests to your home most easily see? Whatever your priorities, select one area and stick to it. Many attempts at organization fail when the task of cleaning up the entire house seems daunting and folks give up. When you complete one area, celebrate and then move on to the next. 2. Allow plenty Of time Don't expect organization to happen overnight. Depending on the area to be organized, schedule a couple of hours each day to work on getting the area organized. Getting a garage whipped into shape will take more time than it takes to organize a linen closet. 3. Clean house Once you've selected an area, go through the contents. Donate or hold a garage sale for anything you don't or can't wear or use any more. Use the two year rule of thumb — if you haven't worn it in two years, it's time to say goodbye to it. These items take up valuable space and probably won't be missed. 4. Take inventory After you've removed extraneous items, take a look at what remains. Does it belong here? Does it make sense to keep it here? Is there another place where you've got more room to keep it, or another area where it would be more easily accessible for its purpose? For example, take that professional-grade mixer that
you've been keeping in the back of your closet and move it to the kitchen. When it's time to tackle that area of the home, you can incorporate the mixer into the new storage plan for the kitchen. 5. Look for Wasted space If you're in need of more storage space, think creatively about additional areas that you can put to work. Prime examples include over doors and underneath beds. These areas are valuable real estate in your home and are often overlooked. 6. Maximize Vertical space If you don't have a lot of room to work with, a surefire way to instantly create more space is to go "up." Instead of only having a couple of shelves to house your kitchen items, take them up to the ceiling to really maximize the vertical space — you'll store the things you need less frequently on the higher shelves. 7. Divide the space By adding additional shelves to a single shelf, or by using containers that stack atop one another, you can divide the vertical space and make efficient use of the area you have to work with. By dividing the space, you eliminate the possibility of stacking tall piles of clothing, papers or other items that are destined to topple over. 8. Keep it moving Consider storage options on wheels: to allow for greater flexibility and to help keep the clutter under control. Carts can hold an assortment of accessories in a small amount of space, and can be wheeled back into a closet or storage area when not in use. 9. Organize with color Whether you're working to
organize the family room or striving to get your home office under control, use color to enhance your efforts. Assign each child a different colored container to keep his or her belongings in and keep them responsible for cleaning up after themselves. Organize projects, bills and other important papers by function and color in your home office. 10. Visibility The three rules to organization are visibility, accessibility and flexibility. Choose containers that are either transparent or that you can easily label to help immediately identify the contents and save valuable time.

submitted by DAVID STACK The Bath Borough Authority Board of Directors have found it necessary to increase the water rate for all water customers due to increasing operating costs for the Authority’s water system. Bath Borough Authority Chairman George Gasper explains the increase will help offset the growing cost of regulations related to treatment of the water and the amount of water testing required. Maintenance and repair costs of the water distribution has also increased along with personnel costs. The 5 percent increase in the water rate will not affect the bills for the fourth quarter of 2019 that water customers will receive

at the end of January 2020. This increase will be reflected in the first quarter 2020 bill customers will see at the end of April.

The amount per thousand over the 5,000-gallon minimum will increase from by 11 cents to $2.23 per thousand. Upper Nazareth water customers will see the minimum water charge (up to 5,000 gallons) increase from $44.97 to $47.22 – an increase of $2.25 for three months of service of water service. The amount per thousand over the 5,000-gallon minimum will increase by 12 cents to 2.57 per thousand.
New Women And Babies Pavilion opens At St. Luke’s Anderson
submitted by SAM KENNEDY On January 10, St. Luke’s University Health Network hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Women and Babies Pavilion at the Anderson Campus in Bethlehem Township. The Women and Babies Pavilion expansion doubles the size of the existing hospital on the 500-acre Anderson Campus just off Route 33. The new facility includes a labor and delivery unit, adding to the Network’s existing labor and delivery units in Allentown and Bethlehem. “St. Luke’s OB/GYNs and staff understand that pregnancy is a very special time for mothers and the entire family, so from start to finish, the Women and Babies Pavilion was designed with their entire experience in mind. The concept is to incorporate not just the new baby, but the new family that is ‘born’ when a baby arrives,” says Israel Zighelboim, MD, FACOG, FACS, Chair, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, St. Luke’s University Health Network. “The facility itself is an extension of the personalized care that our patients have come to expect from the OB/GYN team at St. Luke’s.” This $75 million investment in the community represents St. Luke’s continued commitment to providing high-level maternal and newborn care to the region. The pavilion is a four-floor, 180,000-square-foot facility which includes nine labor and delivery rooms, a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with eight private rooms and 18 semi-private rooms, a 32-room postpartum unit and a 16-bassinet nursery. The Women and Babies Pa-
vilion includes family-friendly spaces designed for comfort, convenience and to help nurture the bond between mom, baby and family. It features spacious, private rooms and spa-like amenities with decor inspired by nature. In addition to the facility itself, the expert care team is also focused on making moms and families as comfortable as possible. The pavilion also provides graduate medical education space, including a simulation center, for multiple residency programs at St. Luke’s Anderson Campus. This expansion almost doubles the number of residents and fellows trained within St. Luke’s to over 430 – the largest program in the Lehigh Valley. With existing educational programs throughout its Network, St. Luke’s plans to add 160 new residents over a five-year period in specialties like neurology, psychiatry, dermatology, endocrinology, emergency medicine, otolaryngology (ENT), internal medicine and family medicine. “This expansion at the Anderson Campus not only underscores St. Luke’s commitment to mothers, babies and families, but also

to training the next generation of health care providers to care for them,” says J.P. Orlando, Ed.D, St. Luke’s Chief Graduate Medical Education Officer. “We look forward to expanding our offerings to Anderson Campus, which will allow us to train even more future physicians, particularly in high-demand specialties like psychiatry and dermatology.” The new Women and Babies Pavilion will adhere to the same quality standards upheld by the other St. Luke’s birthing centers in Allentown and Bethlehem, like the St. Luke’s Baby and Me Philosophy. The St. Luke’s Baby and Me Philosophy facilitates the bond between families and baby while providing high quality, personalized care. “The new Women and Babies Pavilion will sustain hundreds of permanent, family-supporting jobs,” says Ed Nawrocki, president, St. Luke’s Anderson Campus. “The project represents a major commitment to the community and to providing exceptional maternal and newborn care.”
