The sweet tooth of Bath area residents should be served very well in upcoming weeks. On Saturday, Girl Scouts in the Bath – Northampton service unit of Eastern Pennsylvania opened their annual cookie sale, and the Dunkin’ Donuts store at Main & Walnut Sts in Bath opened their
doors for the first time. Girl Scout Troop #8542 set up their stand at Ahart’s Market with 60 boxes of assorted cookies. In all, the 20 troops in the local unit hope to sell out of their 4,000 boxes of cookies. They include Shortbread; Thanks A Lot (shortbread with chocolate covering); Caramel Continued on page 2

Heading into last weekend, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms had a golden opportunity to climb up the standings in the East Division. They were three points behind a slumping Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins team and just one behind the Hershey Bears, making up a game in hand Friday night against both of their division rivals. After a pair of losses on the three-game weekend – Friday night to Albany and Sunday to Hershey – the Phantoms find themselves still stuck in third place in the division, now four points out of the lead.
----------------------“We were able to roll four lines, everyone contributed. It’s good for everyone, a good win.” Nick Cousins -----------------------
“Games in hand are a romantic thought,” Phantoms forward Andrew Gordon said, adding, “If you don’t win them, they’re nothing.” The Phantoms appeared to have righted the ship in a 5-1 win at home over the Binghamton Senators on Saturday, only allowing the BSens four power play opportunities after being shorthanded 10 times in Friday night’s 3-2 loss to Albany. “We finally played some five on five hockey, for once,” forward Nick Cousins said after the game. “It seems lately we’ve been taking a lot of penalties and it’s a lot of special teams. I think when you stay disciplined, that it gets everyone into the game. We were able to roll four lines, everyone contributed. It’s good for everyone, a
good win.” Cousins led the way from the opening shift of the game, scoring 14 seconds into play to get the Phantoms started. Cousins went on to record the first home trick in Lehigh Valley Phantoms franchise history, and now has 11 points (6G-5A) in his last seven games. The difference the past few games for the Phantoms has been an increased emphasis on shooting the puck more. “I think [head coach Terry Murray] wants us to shoot the puck more, even from bad angles,” Cousins said. “Putting the puck on net is never a bad thing. That’s what happened [Saturday vs. Binghamton].” Phantoms head coach Terry Murray confirmed his emphasis to the players on getting the puck to the net, as the Phantoms are currently 22nd out of 30 teams in the American Hockey League (AHL) in goals scored. “We’ve really put a big focus on the more shots mentality the last 10-20 games,” The number was good on average - it’s kind of what we’re asking for - but we were not getting the goals. Pucks were not finding their way into the net. We asked for a little more of getting the pucks to the net mentality, getting traffic in front and getting those second and third chance opportunities and now the puck finds a way.” The Phantoms came up short Sunday in Hershey, but have a chance for redemption Wednesday night as the Phantoms host the Bears at PPL Center at 7:05 p.m. The Phantoms look to head into the All-Star break (Sunday January 25-26) on a high note, with two more games this weekContinued on page 2

Grow UR Biz Just Three Goals!
I wish I had a dollar for every real life customer service story I heard, especially since I’ve been writing this column. Oh, I left out one word: real life horrible customer service stories. Or how about another word: an unthinkable customer service story. Or maybe one more: inappropriate customer service story. So, my friend needs a lift in her shoe. The shoes cost $200, so it’s a big deal. She orders the lift and when it comes in, she discovers that the lift was ordered for the wrong shoe. Okay, anyone can make a mistake. The clerk apologizes and orders the right one. The right one comes in but it’s a different color than the shoe so, in essence, my friend will be wearing two shoes that look different. She calls the sales woman and asks, “Can you dye the lift so the shoes match?” “Yes, we can for an extra $20.” My friend asks, “Why didn’t you tell me the shoes would not match?” And then the sales woman says the words we all hate to hear, “Well, why didn’t you ask me?” My friend wonders aloud, “Would you wear these shoes?” She took the shoes in the back room and came out with a color chart and made my friend pick the color, so she wouldn’t have any responsibility. How many times does this happen to you? You purchase something pay good money for it and the service just stinks. BUSINESS OWNERS BEWARE - JUST SET THREE GOALS In 2015 - pay attention

What Scripture Says About Hell To some, hell is just a joke—a figment of the imagination, but the Bible clearly teaches that hell exists as a place of eternal fiery punishment for the devil, his angels, and all who reject Jesus Christ as their Savior. One might dislike to think about death, the judgment, or hell, and attempt to dismiss thoughts about them; however these truths are facts communicated to us by God in the Bible, and “facts are stubborn things!” One cannot change the truths about hell just because they dislike what God said about it! So, what does the Bible tell us about hell? Did Jesus actually refer to hell as a place of unquenchable fire and eternal punishment? Absolutely! He declared that God will say, “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” and He explained, “these shall go away into everlasting punishment” (Matthew 25:41, 46). Jesus warned of being "cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched." He repeatedly declared in Mark 9:43-48 that people in hell are alive forever, "dieth not" (three times), and that the fire there never goes out (five times). Jesus told of a rich man who "died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments." Begging for water he said, "I am tormented in this flame" (Luke 16:19-31). The Bible describes the punishment of the ungodly in Revelation 14:10-11, “the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night.” Note also: “everlasting burnings” (Isaiah 30:33); “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12); place of “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 8:12; 13:50); “cast into everlasting fire” (Matthew 18:8); “cast into hell fire” Matthew 18:9); and “punished with everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9). Yes, hell is real and it is eternal, but you do not have to go there! Jesus said that hell was “prepared for the devil and his angels”–NOT YOU! God is a God of love, mercy, and justice. Justice requires penalty for man’s sin which is why God in His love for us mercifully gave His Son as a sacrifice for our sins on the cross "that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Those who receive Jesus as their Savior will have their names “written in the book of life” and will avoid “the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15). I urge you to get your name in that book—accept Jesus as your Savior NOW!

Gab over the Fence
by Pete G. Ossip
I don’t know if there were any auto or truck accidents around here on Sunday, but there were 80 in the county from the freezing rain that coated all the roads with a sheet of ice. Snow is one thing, but ice is the worst. There’s no stopping once you go into a skid. Drivers are always in a hurry and don’t slow down enough when it gets icy, and that’s what happens. This storm should be a lesson, but it probably won’t. . . . Congrats to the Northampton High School debate team that beat out Easton, Emmaus and Nazareth high school teams for the Eastern Conference championship. Too often newspapers have reports of bad incidents concerning teens, but there are many good things that they do and we should hear more about it. Again, congratulations, kids!! . . . .And hats off to the Bath – East Allen Youth Club kids for working with Bob Yanders from up Moore Township way, who’s head of grounds and maintenance in the school district, to lower basket hoops at George Wolf School so more of the little guys and gals can drop basketballs through the nets. That’s great that they work together, too!! I always say, eliminate the negative and emphasize the positive, and these are two good examples. . . . Martin Luther King Day was observed on
Monday, and banks and post offices were closed, even law offices. In these troubling times we need to celebrate how one man did his level best to bring equality among all people. . . . Dunkin’ Donuts opened on Saturday and customers are pouring in for their favorite donuts. I’ll take one of each. Elmira’s supply of fastnachts are all long gone. . . . Just like I predicted in a round about way last week – the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots beat the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts for the NFC and AFC championships on Sunday. The Seattle game was the best of the two, but I don’t hafta go off on a limb to say that New England will win the Super Bowl in a couple weeks. BUT, I’m an NFC fan, sticking for the Seahawks to repeat as Super Bowl winners. . . . The first I heard of a potato festival was last week in the paper. There’s gonna be a meeting up at My Place come Tuesday. Garry Hunsicker and the Padula boys should be in on this one. They’re the potato kings around here. French fries for refreshments, Fi? . . . . I hear Lee Creyer will be retiring from his Fish Commission duties in May. Didn’t realize he was reaching retirement age already. Now he may have more time for the Lutheran dartball team in town. . . .Hmmm, figuring out the IRS form and the Affordable Care Act together. Something more to scratch your head about. . . . Gotta go buy a couple more bags of salt for the next ice storm. Have a safe week, gang!

1. Balance calories Seek the right mix of calories in from your diet, versus calories out from exercise and daily activity. Your goal is gradual weight loss of no more than two pounds per week, which ensures you lose fat weight, not water or muscle weight. Daily exercise is a must to maintain the loss. If you can’t lose weight on at least 1,500 calories a day, you need to move more, not eat less. 2. Focus on plants Emphasize colorful fruits and
vegetables, with at least half of every plate heaped with produce. Then complement with whole grains and moderate amounts of foods that are calcium-rich (nonfat or low-fat milk) and iron-rich (extra-lean meats, chicken, fish or legumes). Snack on watermelon cubes rich in vitamins A and C, as well as the antioxidant lycopene. This juicy treat is available all year, even in the winter. In addition, a real food such as watermelon contains at least two of the magic three ingredients for weight loss: protein, water and

Teamsters stating that the Plainfield Township Road Department was interested in their services. Therefore, the Plainfield board was not allowed to discuss anything or approve any preplanned agreements since the letter was received before the meeting. Residents expressed concerns as to why the road department wanted to switch to a different company for services. The road, police, planning and zoning, fire company and ambulance, and recreation board
reports were all approved by the board of supervisors. When it came time for the citizen’s agenda, three residents signed up to speak or ask questions about concerns they have. The board’s solicitor, David Backenstoe, was asked if the board can request the zoning board to take training. David answered by saying that the zoning board was picked in confidence of the knowledge and they are expected to be aware of any changes in their field that they need to
fiber. These nutrients fill you up before they fill you out, so you are satisfied on fewer calories. 3. Eat regularly When you eat these calories is also important. Large, infrequent meals result in big-time hunger, which can cause you to lose control of your appetite. Eating regularly and when you are comfortably hungry keeps you in control of your appetite, allowing you to make wiser decisions. Here is an example of a day’s menu: Breakfast: 100 percent whole grain cereal topped with nonfat milk and berries Mid-Morning Snack: A bowl of watermelon with a 6-ounce tub of low-fat yogurt Lunch: A turkey sandwich on 100 percent whole grain bread, baby carrots and an apple Mid-Afternoon Snack: 1 ounce of nuts with a glass of watermelon juice Dinner: Grilled salmon, baked sweet potato and green peas Evening Snack: 2 cups airpopped popcorn and 1 cup of fat-free hot chocolate 4. Commit to Health: Keep in mind that your ultimate goal is not just a certain figure or a number on the bathroom scale – it is a lifelong commitment to be the best and healthiest you. This plan requires a lifetime commitment,
not to lose weight and keep it off, but to modify habits so they support health and maintain the best weight for you – for life. For sweet recipes to help you stay on track, visit www.watermelon.org. Watermelon Pistachio Sundae Servings: 6 1 egg white, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons maple syrup 2 teaspoons brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup roasted, salted and shelled pistachios 6 watermelon scoops (using ice cream scooper) 6 scoops raspberry sorbet (using ice cream scooper) 1 cup marshmallow sauce To candy pistachios, preheat oven to 300ºF. In medium mixing bowl, combine egg white, syrup, brown sugar and salt. Stir in pistachios until evenly coated.

know. Another resident wanted to know how to access EAC reports and Supervisor Jane Mellert told everyone that reports can be found online and posted on the board for everyone to see once they are approved by the EAC. She also mentioned that she had a computer problem, which caused a delay in the updated reports being posted. Lastly, another resident asked what happened to the collective bartering administrator, which connects to the road department agreements.
David Backenstoe stated that he has advised the township board to have no further comment than what was previously stated. Supervisor Glenn Borger received a request from the recreation board and the county for a letter stating that Plainfield Township will support them in an engineering study.

Protecting Habitat
Southeast Division Of PFSC Meets at Cabela’s in Hamburg
By “HOBBY” The semi-annual meeting of the Southeast Division, Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, met on Sunday at Cabela’s in Hamburg. The division is comprised of sportsmen’s clubs in Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia and Schuylkill counties. They heard reports from Ray Bednarcik, Southeast Region Director of the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission; Bruce Metz, Southeast Region Director of the Pa. Game Commission; Carl Martin of the Wildlands Conservancy in Emmaus; and Paula Piatt, Eastern Organizer of Trout Unlimited.
FNBC Report
Bednarcik noted changes that will be proposed at the upcoming PFBC meeting: Changing date of the delayed harvest of trout with artificial bait to the Saturday before Memorial Day; fishing with bait then; allowing children under 16 to use bait year-round so more can get involved in a delayed harvest area; and the minimum size of trout to be seven inches in the delayed harvest area. The Class “A” designation in certain streams in Northampton and Monroe counties where trout would not be stocked is a heated issue, and will be a topic for the FNBC. A petition has been circulated by the Northampton County Federation that has received more than 650 signatures, urging that trout be stocked in urban creeks of the Class “A” waters. Bednarcik said the commission has received quite a bit of public comment on the issue already. Other topics: a $1.00 decrease in the fishing license; removal of dams; lifetime licenses for persons over 65 years and the trout stamp
associated with it; how to use crayfish for bait; paddle boards are now listed as boats and owners would need a boating license and a launch permit for them. There will be a mentored youth fishing program a week before opening day on March 28 in the southeast and the rest of the state on April 11. Bednarcik also noted that when vandals damage access areas, there will be more than a $200 fine. They must now pay for all costs associated with repairing the damages. Northampton County hasn’t had a Waterways Conservation Officer for some time since Jeff Sabo was promoted, and on Sunday Bednarcik told them that Lehigh County W.C.O. Lee Creyer will retire in May. There are three vacancies in the Southeast, and two more with Creyer retiring. A class of 20 cadets is expected to start PFBC training in July, but has to go through State Police training and a background check first. They won’t graduate until June 2016.
PGC Report
Metz noted that the Game Commission members will meet Jan. 25-27. One of their proposals is to forbid hikers and other non-hunting groups to use State Game Lands during the spring and fall hunting seasons, from the second Saturday in April through Memorial Day and from the last

Saturday in September until the third Saturday in January. The hikers would also be required to secure a free permit for any use of the trails in the game lands. The permits would be issued from the PGC in Harrisburg or any regional PGC office. Biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling and ATVs are already prohibited on State Game Lands during the hunting seasons. Other agenda items: online hunter/trapper courses for a fee; a new vehicle license plate at a cost of $25, with proceeds for Hunters Sharing the Harvest and other non-profit groups; expansion of Wildlife Management Units 5C and 5D; opening an otter season; setting an age limit of nine years for youth-mentored hunting. Comments will be welcome until Jan. 25 or online. Questioned about hunting on the Jacobsburg Environmental Center land, Metz said a study showed the habitat prohibited it. Northampton County Federation president Mike Topping suggested that perhaps Jacobsburg would be suitable if additional land could be purchased there. Former land manager Dave Mitchell had allowed pheasant hunting at Jacobsburg and Blue Ridge Rod & Gun of Walnutport stocked the birds there. Metz will check into what can be done to resume hunting there. He conceded that there is less habitat today than in years past, much of it due to the economy and world conditions, with farmers seeking more profit in crops and fearful of people they don’t know going on their properties. Reggie Rickard of Lehigh County said there should be more people in the food and cover corps, and farmers need fertilizer and lime. Metz admitted they do have less food and cover people than they used to due to a ceiling on the number of PGC employees. He said the PGC tries to do as much as they can. There’s also the problem of people dumping things on game lands and they have to call in DEP to deal with it.
Conservancy
Martin reported that more than 50,000 acres of public land has been purchased, much of it going over to the Game Commission. In 2013, 5,000 acres were purchased, slightly less in 2014, as their dollars are being stretched. One tract along Kittatinny Ridge was held back because of it. He expressed thanks made for donations to the Land Preservation
Ms. Piatt showed slides in a program called Protecting Our Headwaters and Upland Habitat. She showed that perennial streams and intermittent streams are integral to the water cycle and are important to protecting upland habitat, wetlands for waterfowl, and also beneficial to fish habitat. The slides also noted potential impacts from shale gas development, commercial/industrial development, and expanding populations in Lehigh and Monroe counties. Pennsylvania is second only to Alaska in number of stream miles.
Other Business
Lehigh County delegate Franklin Hoffman asked the delegates to get back to their clubs and urge local State Senators to support Title 34, Act 27, Subchapter B, Section 2722 A and B which would take the issuing of antlerless deer licenses out of the hands of county treasurers and into the Game Commission. He said the county treasurers are not complying with required regulations as they should. Metz said PGC would get the revenue from the “pal” system. The division supported the effort. Division officers for 2015 were elected: Mike Topping, president; Charles Sippel, vice president; Bill Halbfoerster, secretary; Norman Graver, treasurer. The next meeting in June will be hosted by Bucks County.

out of 42 applicants will be hired. Supervisor Randy Heard’s request from planning commission to prepare a revision to the Zoning Ordinance and zoning map was approved by the board of supervisors. In other news, Dean Cereal’s employment, after two years, was officially terminated on Jan. 14. David Backenstoe brought up the discussion on the Planning Commission Ordinance, which was tabled at the December meeting, and the board decided to table it again. David received approval to adopt the Ordinance #370, the board was discussing the appointment of a deputy tax collector. The present tax collector, Susan Lieberman, suggested her husband Richard Lieberman, who is fully certified. This was tabled until they have more information. The regional police agreement is not written in stone yet. They have agreed that seventy percent of electric, water, fuel oil, heating, air conditioning, generator costs, and septic system costs will be paid by regional and the other thirty percent will be paid by Plainfield Township. Both Regional and Plainfield will be responsible for their own alarm systems, cleaning services, telephone, and computer costs. There is no charge for using the meeting and conference rooms, parking spaces, and garbage and recycling removal. The township prefers that regional gets their own gas cards and can only use the township pumps if there is an emergency and they pay the township back for what they use. The regional police came back with an offer of $14 per square foot for rental, of which the township is paying sixty percent of and regional is paying forty percent. The township sent a counter offer of $15 the first year, $15.50 the second year, and $16 the third year. Upcoming meetings: Feb. 12 at 4:30 pm, at 6292 Sullivan Traail, Nazareth. Hercules Cement is holding a public meeting to discuss expansions, time tables, and to hear concerns of the public.

Convicted By The Holy Spirit A lady asked the famed revivalist D. L. Moody to talk to her husband claiming that when she spoke to him about spiritual things he paid no attention. Moody told her she had better pray that God would convince and convict him. The couple came about a dozen times to his meetings and Moody noticed that often while he was speaking she would close her eyes and her lips would move. He knew she was praying for God to convict her husband. Then one night Moody noticed the man was weeping. Every hymn emphasized the atoning work of Jesus Christ at Calvary. Moody said, “When I gave out the text, ‘The Precious Blood’ from 1 Peter 1:19, I saw him cover his face and bow his head, and he fairly wept aloud.” He followed Moody into the inquiry room after the message and said: “Mr. Moody, this has been the most extraordinary day in my life. When I got up this morning the words ‘precious blood’ came into my mind. When I went to my place of business the words ‘precious blood’ were ringing in my mind, and all during the day it was ‘precious blood, precious blood.’ They followed me here tonight and when you gave out your text, ‘The Precious Blood,’ I could hardly stay in my seat! I can't understand it.” Moody replied that he understood it; and, after explaining how the Holy Spirit was convicting him of his sin, He led him to accept Christ as his Savior. Has the Holy Spirit been convicting you to repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior? Don't push off His conviction! Just before God sent the terrible judgment of the world-wide flood He said, “My spirit shall not always strive with man” (Genesis 6:3). Be grateful that the Lord cares enough for you to show you your need of Him and respond to His conviction now in repentance!

Gary Warren: “Bethlehem Food Co-op”
Submitted by MARTIN BOKSENBAUM On Thursday, January 22, Gary Warren, Board Member of the Bethlehem Food Co-op, will discuss: “The Bethlehem Food Co-op: Who We Are, What We Are Doing, and Where We Are Going” at the United Steelworkers Hall, Bethlehem. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The presentation begins at 7 p.m.. Free admission (donations invited). Ample onsite parking lot is accessible from Center St. (at the equivalent of 316 Center St, if you’re googling). Gary’s presentation will cover what a co-op is, co-op principles, the history of co-ops, how co-ops help communities, the Bethlehem Food Co-ops’ history, its mission, intentions, current status, its actions, and more. Gary Warren has lived in Bethlehem since 2003. He is a father, farming enthusiast, avid cyclist, conscious eater, yoga teacher, kombucha maker, and unabashed disco dancer. After actively serving as a co-op volunteer since its first meeting, he is proud to now serve on the board of directors. Gary’s presentation is the featured presentation of the January 2015 quarterly meeting of the Lehigh Valley Chapter of The Weston A. Price Foundation. Also at the event: Local producers may bring grass-fed, organic, and/or biodynamic products for sampling or sale. Attendees can check out the produce tables before and after the presentation (bring your coolers!). Books & videos will also be available.
About The Weston A. Price Foundation The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism and supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective, including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy-based infant formula. About the Lehigh Valley Chapter (WAPF-LV) WAPF-LV hosts public presentations dealing with food, nutrition, health, and food-producing systems, and publishes a newsletter. As part of WAPF-LV’s efforts to connect local food producers and consumers, we also publish a directory of local farms.

NAZARETH AREA Nosey in Nazareth Dear Nazareth, Lovely weather we are having (Not!) I admit that I am a “wuss” when it comes to 20 degrees or below temperatures! Although I am pleased with how the townships prepare for this weather, applying salt brine to the roads, I have a confession to make... my car has not seen the carwash for many weeks. The beautiful chocolate brown color of my vehicle has the appearance of dirty gray. I actually walked up to the wrong car in the parking lot the other day and tried to open it. When I drove to our local car wash, it was closed! Probably due to the extreme cold, my doors would have frozen shut before I arrived home. So on the rainy day last week (and 33 degrees), I left it parked out on the driveway. That wasn’t going to do the job. Determined to get the job done I put on my winter
Over 35 Yrs. Experience
jacket with the hood up and carried warm sudsy water outside to wash my car in the rain! It’s been parked in the garage ever since, looking so nice! Working from home lately and since we are in the middle of January, it’s time for me to put away most of my Christmas decorations,... but at least the snowman collection can stay up for a while. While working on “un-decorating” my home I was thinking of last month and all the Christmas functions I attended. The Sam’s Club (3796 Easton/Nazareth Hwy) Annual Taste Mixer was a lot of fun! Great time to meet fellow Chamber of Commerce members and of course to sample featured foods. I went “window shopping” after the mixer and found so many items to have on hand for unexpected company during the holidays. Now I’m thinking I want to go back and pick up some goodies for the Super Bowl Game! The National Penn Bank (3704 Easton/Nazareth Hwy) celebrated Christmas with their License # PA003267

holiday mixer also. It was good for me to talk to their investment manager because I want to start a retirement program for myself. We set up an appointment, it’s time to get serious about saving. I enjoy these events because the focus is not necessarily on “networking,” but to socialize with friends and meet new people. Being single, I never thought about looking for the potential of a “certain someone” at a Nazareth- Bath Chamber of Commerce function, but I did! (201 N. Main St., www. nazarethchamber.com) He just called me and we have a common interest, our love for the Beatles music. Did you notice that the State Theater Center for the Arts in Easton (www.statetheater.org.) is hosting a show called “Guitar to Beatlemania: The Evolution of the Acoustic Guitar?” We are going together, mixing business with pleasure. The Nazareth-Bath Chamber of Commerce is hosting a pre-show reception and mixer in the Easton Hospital Gallery at the State Theater the same evening in March.

theater in Lehigh and Northampton counties in Pennsylvania including Warren County in New Jersey. This theater is so beautiful, it was built in 1925 by a designer who was inspired by the architecture of old Spain and Italy. Many local Italian artisans created the elaborate frescoes and gilding. I was looking on their website and checked out the other up-coming shows: “Elvis,” “Sister Act,” “Bee Gees,” just to name a few. “Beatlemania” will be a fun evening that I’m looking forward to. I’m going to shop for a special outfit. Any ideas where I can go? Making my business rounds in Bethlehem, I discovered a great little restaurant called the Black Forest Deli (745 7th St.). I stopped in to order a quick lunch and decided on the Turkey Cucumber
wrap with a tasty dressing. The person who took my order was one of the owners, her name was Vica, the daughter of the mother/ daughter team. She welcomed me and made me feel like I was in my own neighborhood. I love comfortable places like this. Their menu focuses on Russian cuisine including breakfast/lunch items. The next time I go I want to try a selection that is one of their ethnic choices such as the Russian Pastrami Panini. I noticed at the counter they offered “Freckle Face Fudge” (www.Frecklefacefudge.com). So I bought a few pieces for the road. Oh my goodness! Salted Dark Chocolate, Caramel Pretzel, and Raspberry. Yes, I bought three different kinds! So good and creamy! This is a family-owned business spreading their yummy fudge all over the Lehigh Valley. Check out their website for locations. Stay warm by the fire. “Nosey” Please contact “Nosey” through Tina Smith at the Nazareth-Bath Area Chamber of Commerce, Attn: Nosey in Nazareth, tina@nazarethchamber.com
