Chapman’s Quarries. I decided Entering the old “slate village” to visit there on the invitation you pass the home of council of Mayor Harold Kocher and member Dorothy Niklos and the councilman Dana Ackerman. former Chapman’s Schoolhouse, Dana was one of my students at now owned by the Dymond famNorthampton High School.

in the state of Pennsylvania.

I was met at the quaint borough hall by Mr. Ackerman, Reverend Kenneth A. Klingborg and Mr. Clyde Roberts. In my lengthy discussion with these gentlemen, it was evident they loved Chapman’s and the fine people who reside there. Reverend Klingborg presented me with a booklet entitled “Chapman Borough and Chapman Slate Company” July 1999 by the Chapman Quarries Historical Society. The good Reverend gave me permission to use the material in this column.

Adjacent to the borough is an old cemetery, which provides a flashback to some of the original inhabitants. Mr. Ackerman recalled, “As a youth it was overgrown and we were afraid to go there. Since then, older residents have mowed the grass and it looks much better than in the past.”

The tombstones tell us of Chapman’s English origins. The

few I could read tell us William Card, John Cook, Nathaniel Shamin and John Masters were born in Cornwall, England; Mary Murray in Plymouth and Elizabeth James in Sydney, Australia.

The stone of Morgan Hughes is solid slate as are many others. At one time the cemetery was surrounded by a four-foot solid slate wall. A few still mark the perimeter of this final resting place.

I asked Mr. Clyde Roberts if he remembered the last burial there.

Mr. Roberts has a keen memory and was eager to share memories with me. He said, “I don’t recall burials here, but do remember when family members came to the old cemetery to remove some of their loved ones. Some were reinterred in other cemeteries including the Green Mount Cemetery in Bath.”

Bath Borough Council explains New sanitation contract

By JUSTIN SWEITZER The borough of Bath hosted an informational meeting Wednesday, Jan. 18 to reveal details pertaining to the borough’s new contract with J.P. Mascaro & Sons for sanitation services. Representatives from both Bath’s Borough Council and J.P. Mascaro & Sons were in attendance to explain recent changes in the borough’s contract and answer questions from Bath residents regarding new procedures.

The three-year contract, which will persist through 2019, will cost borough residents $297.16 per year, down from the $401 fee residents had to pay last year under the previous 10-year contract.

Under the new contract, recycling will be collected every week instead of every other week which helps to drive down the cost of the bill for borough residents.

Residents have been provided with red, trash-only toters at the expense of J.P. Mascaro & Sons.

Bath residents will be permitted

to dispose of 192 gallons of trash per week.

Borough Manager Bradford Flynn encouraged residents to increase the amount they recycle and lower waste to reduce the cost of their trash bill in the future.

“Recycle as much and as often as you can,” Flynn said.

Flynn also noted that J.P. Mascaro & Sons will hold collections two times a year for both yard waste and white good items. On June 6 and Oct. 17 the sanita-

tion company will collect various types of yard waste such as tree branches, leaves and other types of yard-based material. On June 8 and Oct. 19, J.P. Mascaro & Sons will collect white good appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, dryers and similar appliances. Electronics such as televisions and computers will not be accepted as white goods.

Borough leaders also stressed the importance of clearly separating trash from recyclables on garbage days. Recyclables must

be placed over three feet away from trash cans to ensure that sanitation employees can differentiate trash from recyclables.

Additionally, Flynn told residents that recyclables must be broken down and visible so J.P. Mascaro employees can see what items residents are choosing to recycle.

Some residents voiced their displeasures over previous problems with J.P. Mascaro & Sons.

A common issue referenced was that residents’ recyclables have often been thrown out along with trash. J.P. Mascaro representatives assured residents that they would have a “more pronounced presence” and continue to follow garbage trucks in the short term to ensure that their employees are fulfilling their duties. Some also criticized the color of the trash

toters provided by J.P. Mascaro & Sons, with one resident even walking out of the meeting in frustration. Mark Saginario, president of the borough council, defended the toters, saying, “The purpose behind the cans is to bring uniformity to the borough, to clean it up a little bit.”

Borough council also revealed that if too many complaints are filed within a particular month the borough does have a way out of the contract. However, many borough residents were appreciative of J.P. Mascaro & Sons’ recent efforts to address complaints. Saginario said the borough would like to hold more informational meetings in the future, with the next town hallstyle meeting slated for late fall.

Salad for Breakfast

Governor Wolf Historical Society Monthly Meeting- 7 p.m. the second Tuesday of every

Could you imagine waking up in the morning, say at 5:30 a.m. and making yourself a hearty salad filled with greens, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, olives, broccoli, red beets and the like?

Yummy. The problem is many individuals would feel repulsed by having a salad for breakfast. If you are one of them, let me ask you, why? Look, I get it. Salad for breakfast doesn’t sound as good as a nice cup of coffee or a donut.

But, it could improve your health dramatically.

I often wonder how our society transitioned from real food to fake food in less than a generation. It happened so fast and with hardly any resistance. One would think that marketing had a lot to do with it. One would also wonder how specifically we developed the habit of waking up and having stimulants and sugar instead of, for example, eggs and butter.

We have been sold on thinking man-made nutrient depleted cereals and eggbeaters can somehow improve our bodies. That’s just foolish. Why not just wash it all down with a healthy a.m. Diet Coke?

I want to say this as plainly as I can. Please don’t allow your life to be shortened for someone else’s profit. Really give thought to why you eat what you eat and when you eat it. I see nothing wrong with having vegetables for breakfast. I have been doing it for years. Rather than making an actual salad like my dear friend Carol, I prefer a vegetable blend in my morning power shake.

My hybrid a.m. health shakes are typically in a base of water with anything from celery, carrots or beets. In addition, I will put in various pieces of fruit or berries. I typically blend with ice.

To be honest, I do not use much

in the way of broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cauliflower in my a.m. shakes. But I do like kale, cinnamon powder and bananas on a regular basis. My all-time favorite vegetable in my shakes is, in fact, celery. Celery is just fantastic for the body. I use it to keep the urinary tract healthy, so I consume it often.

A technique one could use to inspire health in the morning without going through much difficulty is to simply pop four to five cherry tomatoes in your mouth. It’s quick and easy. Nothing like a nice cool glass of water with those cold tomatoes and perhaps a few cucumber slices.

You want to get healthy? If so, do it.

I have said this before and will say it again that when the pain of not changing becomes more uncomfortable then the pain of changing, then you will change.

It just comes at different points for each of us. But that point will come one way or another. The sooner the better from what life has shown me.

Northampton Council Approves police contract

By JUSTIN SWEITZER After an extended period of negotiations, Northampton Borough Council approved a contract signed by members of the borough police department’s bargaining unit to solidify a deal through 2018.

At the council meeting on Jan. 19, members voted to approve a contract that gives borough police officers a three percent raise for 2017 and 2018. The contract also features a one percent reduction in pension contribution, leaving officers’ contribution at five percent, according to Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst.

Brobst said police will also copay $45 per pay in 2017 toward their medical insurance.

The council also announced that the zoning hearing board will convene on Feb. 9 to hear the appeal of MGMJ Holding Company.

MGMJ originally appealed for and received a special use condition to use the property under consideration as a social club, but the company now plans to use the building for its previous use as a daycare, which calls for the property to be rezoned to allow for such a use.

Councilman Robert McHale questioned the reasoning behind the sudden change in use, leading Brobst to speculate that the property is a more acceptable use given the building’s location.

The consensus was favorable among councilmembers, with Councilman Ed Pany being a vocal proponent of a zoning change.

“The daycare was a nice use for the building,” Pany said. “I would support it.”

However, Brobst encouraged

council members to refrain from additional comment until the zoning hearing board makes a decision on the property.

----------------------I think it would be a more acceptable use to the neighbors; to have it sit vacant does no one any good.

LeRoy Brobst ----------------------“I think it would be a more acceptable use to the neighbors; to have it sit vacant does no one any good,” Brobst said. “But I don’t want to prejudice the zoning hearing board. I’d rather not comment and let them make a decision.”

In other business, Councilwoman Judy Kutzler questioned the status of an ordinance requiring apartments to be inspected after being vacated, asking whether the borough is doing anything to protect citizens who are moving into rental units.

Brobst said the ordinance is still a work in progress and that the borough will have to consider how such an ordinance would be funded.

“One of the first things we’re going to have to do is figure out how we’re going to fund it, who’s going to do the inspections and how we’re going to enforce it,” Brobst said.

Kutzler was adamant that the borough needs to make haste in completing the ordinance.

“We need to protect our citizens,” said Kutzler. “We need to get working on this.”

Slatington woman Killed in fatal crash

This crash occurred on January 18 as a white Chevrolet Lumina was traveling west on Levans Road passing Apple Road in north Whitehall Township.

On January 11 a Vitamix blender valued at $599.99 was stolen from Kohl’s in Easton by two New Jersey residents. Michael Bourbert walked out of the store without paying for the blender, then jumped into the back seat of a vehicle driven by Julia Lorenzetti. The vehicle sped away at a high rate of speed. Lorenzetti was stopped by CRPD on the Route 33 north ramp off of Route 248. They were taken into custody and charged with retail theft and related offenses. They were also charged with retail theft that they were involved in on January 9 at the same Kohl’s. Both were placed in Northampton County Prison on $15,000 cash bail.

days it’s 9 or 9:30 p.m. Due to much experience, I know that if I eat a bigger meal at these times my body just does not feel good.

I wake up feeling a bit off. It is not worth it. So I finally started listening to my body and my own advice and switched things around a bit. Big difference.

You also can simply experiment with your food consumption and see how you feel. Clearly, starting the day with simple, clean nutrient packed items cannot hurt you. I understand the usual ‘theatre’ that gets played out regarding what’s good and not good to eat. Again, don’t let someone else’s desire for profit decide the health and length of your life. Get back to eating simple foods and let’s see how you respond. Life changing results is what I would expect. My best to you.

A trip to the dentist

A recent visit to the dentist reminded me of my trips to the dentist when I was a teenager. After school, I had to walk to midtown to my dentist, Dr. Wagner.

He had his office on Belvidere Street across from the firehouse. I had to climb the dark stairs to his second floor office and wait in his waiting room while he worked on other children. Often times while I was waiting to enter the torture chamber, I could hear the patient screaming out in pain.

Doc Wagner used no Novocain so when he hit a nerve, it really hurt. All that screaming made me really scared for what he was going to do to me.

When it was my turn to receive my torture, I was so nervous. I didn’t say anything to him but when he started to drill my teeth, I remember moaning and trying to tell him he was hurting me, while the drill and his fingers were in my mouth. He would say, “Shut up, you will scare my other patients in the waiting room.”

Unfortunately, I had quite a few cavities and it seemed like I was going to be tortured every week. I still don’t like going to the dentist but procedures have really improved and my dentist doesn’t hurt me.

BATH AREA

Carol A Step Inside the byBearBath Museum Heckman One of the most striking artifacts in the Bath Museum is the "Moses George, Tobacco, Cigars" sign. Approximately 12' long it is wood, handmade and hand painted. It would have hung on the front porch between two posts (similar to the sign on the Bath Hotel picture). Moses George came to Bath in 1859

and at age 16 started making cigars. By the 1890s his trade had extended west to Colorado and south to North Carolina. His store was at 111 W. Main St., now the home of Viola Wesner.

I've been told the actual cigar factory was located in a barn behind the house, which burned in the 1960s. Viola found the large

George Cigar sign in her attic and donated it to the museum.

Bath in the last half of the 19th century was a commercial center for Northampton County. Over 120 businesses are documented to have been in Bath at that time.

In fact, many were duplicates so businesses had to compete for their trade. For example, Frank Fatzinger sold cigars and tobacco at 226 W. Main in 1885 and Wilson H. Seem had a cigar factory (and his Justice of the Peace office) at 129 S. Chestnut St. in 1906.

The Bath Museum is open free to the public every third Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is located on the second floor of the Bath Municipal Building at Penn and Washington Streets.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Auditor General DePasquale, Treasurer Torsella warn of health care, fiscal impacts If Medicaid expansion eliminated More than 675,000, mostly rural, Pennsylvanians could be at risk and the state’s billion dollar plus structural budget could be increased even more Submitted by SUSAN WOODS Auditor General Eugene DePasquale and Treasurer Joe Torsella warned Congress that eliminating the Medicaid expansion provision in the Affordable Care Act could jeopardize health care for more than 675,000 Pennsylvanians and push the state’s structural budget deficit even higher.

“There will be devastating consequences for hundreds of thousands of mostly rural, working poor, Pennsylvanians if Congress eliminates the Medicaid expansion provision of the Affordable Care Act,” DePasquale said during a joint news conference with Treasurer Torsella.

“We want to remind our congressional delegation that Medicaid expansion — called ‘HealthChoices’ in the keystone state — helped real people and families receive health care,” DePasquale said. “Kicking them out of the health care system now will have dire consequences on their health and ripple effects on rural hospitals that stand to lose federal funds that are helping to keep their doors open.”

CNN reported last week on the impact on eliminating Medicaid expansion in rural areas like southwestern Pennsylvania and focused on Fayette County where close to one-third of the county’s population relies on Medicaid coverage.

“As the steward of Pennsylvania’s finances, I am concerned about the impact to our resi-

dents, our economy and our budget if the Medicaid expansion is eliminated,” Torsella said.

“Not only would the state lose $3 billion in direct federal health reimbursements for Pennsylvanians, but the state’s total economic activity could be reduced by $4.5 billion. It would also add at least $300 million to our state’s structural budget deficit.

This would make a tough situation even worse.”

----------------------Eliminating Medicaid expansion could also hamper Pennsylvania’s fight against the ongoing opioid crisis that claimed 3,500 residents last year.

Eugene DePasquale ----------------------“Eliminating Medicaid expansion could also hamper Pennsylvania’s fight against the ongoing opioid crisis that claimed 3,500 residents last year,” DePasquale said. “Prior to 2015, people now covered by Medicaid often sought treatment from county programs that were quickly running out of money. Now we are counting on Medicaid funding to cover treatments that will be provided by the state’s ‘Centers For Excellence.’”

The pair of Pennsylvania fiscal watchdogs noted that the benefits of Medicaid expansion are recognized by officials in both

parties across the country.

In a recent op-ed in Time magazine, Ohio Governor John Kasich touted the benefits of Medicaid expansion for 700,000 people in his state, writing, “According to a recent assessment of Ohioans who gained coverage through Medicaid expansion, a majority now find it easier to find or keep a job, manage their health to avoid costly trips to the hospital down the road, and even find it easier to put food on the table.”

Similar, serious concerns are being echoed by democrat and republican governors.

DePasquale and Torsella conveyed those sentiments in a letter to Pennsylvania’s two U.S. senators and 18 congressional representatives urging them to keep the Medicaid expansion provision of the Affordable Care Act. “We urge you to review the facts carefully before you cast a single vote that could lead to the end of Medicaid for the nearly three-quarters-of-a-million Pennsylvanians added under the ACA,” they wrote.
