75th Year, Issue No. 28 www.homenewspa.com

by ED PANY On June 4, 2016, my wife and I attended the 100th Anniversary of the Buzzi Unicem Cement plant in Stockertown; formerly named Hercules Cement.

Today, Buzzi Unicem is one of the five remaining plants in the Lehigh Valley. Over time, 30 cement companies who operated 60 plants called the Valley home.

The plants used the stone from the Jacksonburg vein of cement rock that graces Northampton, Lehigh and Warren County in New Jersey. There is abundant raw material here for another century.

The Stockertown plant has a long history. It was the first plant being named Atlantic Portland Cement in 1906. In 1916, it was Continued on page 2

purchased by a group of investors and renamed Hercules. The plant started with twelve kilns.

Just like the Atlas Portland Cement Company, they selected the name Hercules from Greek mythology as a symbol of power and strength.

The original land can be traced back to early Moravian history in

the area. At one time, the company owned property in Stockertown Borough and in Palmer and Upper Nazareth Townships.

With time, the plant has made many improvements to stay competitive. In the 1920’s, the plant power supply was converted from steam to electric; quite an improvement.

The Depression was especially difficult for our cement companies, as they operated only a few months a year.

The Federal Aid Highway Act

of 1944 authorized a system of interstate highways which encouraged highway travel. The Legislation was a boom to Hercules and our local plants.

Hercules continually improved their plant in each decade up to the present day with new kilns, a pre heater and the most modern environmental technology.

Always community sensitive, in 1970 the Hercules Rod & Gun Club was organized to provide outdoor opportunities for their employees and families.

As a steward of the environment, the company has preserved 20 acres as a native meadow of trees and shrubs. Each year, many school groups tour the grounds and are involved in numerous wildlife experiences.

Hercules has also received awards from the Wildlife Habitat Council and the USDA Forest Service.

The company has provided quality cement for many projects, such as: PA Turnpike, Verrazano Bridge, Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Newark Bay, Coca Cola

www.HomeNewsPA.com

Park, Sands Parking Garage, Lafayette College, Fisher Field Stadium, Route 33, 78 and many others.

The company has more than 130 employees and is proud of its safety and environmental efforts.

The friendly Plant Manager is Mr. Julio Folhadella.

I have visited the plant for many years and have worked closely with Mr. Keith Williams whose family has deep roots in the industry. The Atlas Cement Museum honors Buzzi-Unicem and their employees with a permanent display. Come and visit us

Bath Council approves Bath Ambulance Transition to Bethlehem Township

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

After a long discussion, and hearing all sides of the issue, Bath Borough Council on Tuesday approved the recommendation of the Bath Volunteer Fire Dept. to transition the Bath Volunteer Fire Ambulance to Bethlehem Township Ambulance.

Fire Chief Emilio DeNisi said it was the consensus of the fire company and its ambulance crew that they sell all their equipment to the professional services of Bethlehem Township, and have one of their ambulances in Bath to respond to emergency calls, for the company’s morale and based on the numbers. He said, “Anything can happen, day or night.”

Bath has been serving from 6 a.m. to midnight with six EMTs and five EMRs. They had 55 calls last month.

There was a question of who would do the buy-out, Bethlehem Township or East Allen Township.

Greg Kuhn, president of the East Allen Township Volunteer Ambulance Corps, said they are completely an all-volunteer run organization with 40 volunteers, mostly EMTs. They also have a paid staff during the day and two volunteers on duty at night. “We are all trying to do what is best,”

he said. “Patient care is the most important. We are the absolute closest (to Bath Borough). Our trucks would be here in eight minutes, Bethlehem Township in 20 minutes because of all the calls they receive in Bethlehem and Easton.”

He strongly requested that Bath let East Allen Township make their proposal, saying that East Allen would buy all of Bath’s equipment and write a check for it.

Mayor Fiorella Mirabito asked him if the East Allen Ambulance Corps would have to go through their Board of Supervisors for their approval, and he said, “No, we are a privately run service.”

Bob Norden of Bethlehem Township said they have to adhere to laws, but they plan to work with all the towns and townships in this area. “We’re all trying to work together,” he said, noting that response time and patient care are the ultimate objectives. Norden said in Northampton County there are ALS and ELC calls.

Kuhn told Council and the audience that their ambulances are usually in the station, while Bethlehem Township has calls from all over.

Solicitor Blake Marles said the fire company is separate from the

ambulance corps.

Kuhn responded, “We will be professional and will cooperate with any agreement that is made.”

Council President Mark Saginario said Council can decide if they want to go with East Allen Township or Bethlehem Township, but the latter’s ambulances will be in the Bath station on Center Street.

Kuhn asked, “Why not have East Allen Township do the primary ambulance service and let Bethlehem Township lease the building in Bath?” But Norden said that wouldn’t work, Bethlehem Township would have to respond.

At that, Councilman Michael Reph made the motion that Council accept the fire department’s recommendation to utilize the Bethlehem Township Ambulance Corps for their service, and it was approved. Marles will complete the legal details.

Other matters • In committee reports, there was a discussion about public parking and having it at one location. Metered parking was also suggested, but how would it be paid for, asked Saginario.

• Under Health, Sanitation and Water Authority, Saginario said, “We don’t want to be locked into a 10-year agreement with a hauler. This time, Council is working toward one for three years, and may get bids starting in August.

• In community development, Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman reported along with Barry Fenstermaker and Phyllis Andrews that a matching grant of $4,000 was sought from the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber Foundation for landscaping the southern part of Monocacy Creek Park, based on a bid of $5,025. But the GLVCF only awarded $1,000. Other monies for the project included $1,000 from BBCP, $1,000 from Bath Borough, $900 Sunnieside Landscaping, and $125 from Moorestown Garden Club. Being $1,000 short, they decided to scale the project back.

Township Manager Brad Flynn will check on noise ordinances in Nazareth, Northampton, Palmer Twsp., and Wilson to guide what Bath may do.

Ms. Heckman also had reports on public safety, the BBCP, and Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce.

She reported that on July 2 it was noticed that someone had tried to break in both doors of the gazebo at Keystone Park. Public Works will tighten door handles or repair them if necessary, and check the motion lights.

The Seventh Annual Duck Race will be held on July 29 at 5 p.m. in Monocacy Creek Park. $5 tickets are available, with a $250 first prize and 10 others.

They are almost full with ven-

dors for the August 27 Spuds & Suds Festival on Chestnut and Northampton Streets, but Councilwoman Cynthia Andrews (not present, but speaking over an iPhone) said volunteers are needed. A resident was told that provisions will be made for those whose driveways are locked in during the festival.

An event at Galleria 126 benefiting the dog park at Fireman’s Field was highly successful. Saginario said the dog park committee will work with the Parks and Recreation Committee.

• Councilman Fenstermaker reported ATV’s driving in the parks recently when signs say “No Motorized Vehicles.”

• Council will advertise soon for seasonal snow plow operators who would assist in snow clearance in major storms next winter.

• The draft 2017 General Fund Budget will be discussed at the August meeting.

• A public hearing will be held next month to get the residents’ input on a proposed ordinance on mixed uses; underlying zoning district; and establishing a schedule of permitted use, dimensional requirements for mixed use, accessory uses, conditional use, and special exception uses in a parking overlay district. A resident on Tuesday questioned what benefit it has to the borough, and was told that parking is an issue and Council wants to bring in new businesses.

• Council approved three resolutions: (1) appointing Flynn as Assistant Property Maintenance, Code and Zoning Enforcement Officer; (2) supporting S.B. 535 and H.B. 71 in the Legislature enabling all municipal police to use the same speed-timing equipment as Pa. State Police; and (3) to pledge support of a PennDOT project to re-align Rt. 248, Rt. 329, and Rt. 987 along W. Northampton St. from Rt. 248/W. Main St. to Rt. 987/ Chestnut St. Saginario said PennDOT was

not aware of the Northampton St. Bridge, thinking it was only the intersections, with S. Chestnut St. one way. There will be a public hearing.

Darrin Heckman said W. Northampton St. is in terrible condition and people come flying by as they come off the W. Main St. hill.

Work on the street has been pushed off for four years. Saginario said the Borough has been looking at Washington and Penn Streets for 2017 and will add Northampton Street.

• Council will have a special meeting with KCBA Architects next Monday, July 13 to hear their presentation on re-purposing the present municipal building, and building an entirely new municipal/public works/fire department complex.

Reports Mayor Mirabito reported on officiating at a wedding, attending a Paw Park benefit, lunch with Coplay mayor, and attending a donation to a GWS teacher.

She also listed the many events scheduled in Bath the rest of this year.

Fire Chief DeNisi’s report for June showed: 26 total dispatches in Bath, Moore and Upper Nazareth needing 122 man-hours; 65, EMS dispatches; 302 man-hours for EMS volunteers; 102 hours in training; 64 for fire/EMS school; 481, administration; 31, equipment maintenance; 158, fire/ EMS meetings, 168, work detail; and 51, fire police.

Mayor Thomas Reenock administered the oath of office to two officers of the Northampton Volunteer Fire Department and a part-time borough police officer at a meeting of Borough Council on Thursday night.

Repeating the oath were Joshua Abraham, as an Assistant Fire Chief, and Robert Solderich, as a captain in the Fire Department.

Also taking the oath was Officer Michael Renner of the Police Department.

Heritage Trail Scott Everett updated Council on the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Trail project.

The first phase of construction will start at the football field in Northampton.

Everett will give a further update at Council’s next meeting on July 21.

Other matters • Council gave approval to three requests that were made: (1) Use of the 26th Street pavilion by the Northampton High School orchestra for a picnic on Sunday, July 17; (2) Use of both pavilions at the municipal park on Sunday, Sept. 11 by First Baptist Church of Allentown for a rally day picnic which the public can attend; and (3) Use of the borough’s portable band trailer on Friday, August 5 by South Whitehall Township. Fees will be waived in all three instances, but the township will pay any set-up and delivery charges. Councilman Robert McHale asked that documentation be prepared for people to fill out when renting the trailer.

• Council will consider creating a limited inter-municipal police service agreement with Allen Township, primarily to enforce parking regulations at Catasauqua High School.

• Permission was given for Chief of Police Ron Morey and

Patrolman Dennis Smith to participate in a Project Blue Light Suicide Awareness bicycle ride on August 6 at the Philadelphia Police Academy. Part of the event will honor the late Patrolman Stephen Milkovits.

• An offer was received from Lehigh County for additional easements in the area of the Coplay Bridge. Pending review, the offer is $7,000. A previous offer that was received amounted to $7,400, said Councilman Robert Coleman.

• Councilman Keith Piescienski reported that the Zoning Hearing Board will meet tonight to consider three appeals: (1) Willow Brook Enterprises identification signs on their property along Howertown Road; (2) Scott and Tammy Metzger, a variance to erect a one-story addition to their home at 729 Lincoln Ave. that would encroach into the existing required side yard and exceed the maximum lot coverage; and (3) PAJ Ventures use of the former Catholic War Veterans building at 1464 Washington Ave. as a church-based social club, which would need a variance.

Piescienski also reported that a rabies clinic at the recent Paw Prints on the Canal generated $696 for the K9 program.

• Councilman Robert McHale reported that public works has paved the municipal parking lot and they have painted traffic lanes and done curbing throughout the borough.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip A thunderstorm Saturday night cut into some of the evening festivities in Bath, Moorestown and Northampton, but folks took cover and made their stay good. The fireworks went on as scheduled over at the Community Days Fair, and people played Bingo with the Lions as they took cover under one of the pavilions.

The 36th annual picnic finished up Sunday night with a big crowd after a nice, sunny day. Kenny Boyce did a nice job announcing all the things that were going on . . . .Yes, P.A.K. from Bath, P.A., the clams were good. Chick Liberto is back on track after his operation and enjoyed the picnic with his wife. . . .Newcomers to the area might not know about it, but Saturday, July 9th was an anniversary for Bath. We had a cloudburst that night and a big flood downtown that left a little boy drowned. That was back in 1945, a sad day in Bath’s history. . . . Enjoyed Ed Pany’s cement worker article last week, the part that made it, that is. Seems the continuation didn’t. With Ed recovering from an operation, I’m sure he’ll be happy to find the rest of the article in this week’s paper . . . .Irene Urban and some other relatives and friends helped celebrate Paul Csencsits’ 86th birthday at a breakfast in Paulie’s Restaurant over Coplay way the other day. He loved that cake with strawberries and whipped cream icing. . . . Phillies finished with a split in four games at the Colorado Rockies, so it was pretty satisfying to complete the first half with a win before the All-Star Game. After that, it’s the Mets and Marlins . . . . Loads of motorcycles will be heading over to the Bath Fire Social Hall this Saturday for the annual ride to ben-

efit Dream Come True. They’ve been doing it for 11 years now and it makes Jim Pasquariello mighty proud at the turnout of bikers. . . . Salem UCC has had its fruit festivals in their grove, now Zion UCC over by Kreidersville is gonna have a peach festival this Saturday. Always enjoy the pies and ice cream sundaes that come out of those fruit festivals. They’re gonna have an antique car and tractor show besides the good eats. . . . Turn-In is up and running again under new ownership. . . . Hearts gang at the Legion is on a once a month schedule for the summer and will return to action next Wednesday, July 20. Right, Harvey? . . . .You know, vacations are a wonderful thing. A time to relax, play games, and maybe even sleep later in the morning. Only thing is, when it’s time to go home from the shore or the mountains you’re faced with going back to work, and getting up at four or five in the morning to get there in time.

It’s tough then, getting back in the routine, and having to get up early so that you’re drowsy all day.

But heck, just to have four or five days to get out of that work routine is worth it, I reckon. So, go have fun and enjoy your vacation, gang. You’ve earned it!

Fish & Boat W.C.O. named For County

by HOBBY

Now that the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission has had its graduation of a class of recruits, counties are finally getting new waterways conservation officers. Northampton County will be welcoming Zachary Grubb, and as is the custom, he will give monthly reports of PFBC activities here and in the

state when he attends Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs meetings. We expect to see him on July 25 when the Federation meets at 7 p.m. in Crivallero’s Restaurant in Williams Township.

This county was without a PFBC W.C.O. for a whole year while the recruits were in training. Previously, Northampton County had Jeffrey Sabo as the officer here, but he was promoted to another position. Lehigh County had Lee Creyer, and he at times filled in for this county, but he has retired. Hopefully, the job will stabilize so delegates get the latest word on fishing and boating.

At their June meeting, delegates and guests met at Lappawinzo Fish & Game in Northampton, hosted by the Walking Purchase Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. They heard a talk by Atty. Jon S. Mirowitz of Philadelphia, speaking on how our country was founded at a gun battle, and how we must continue to strive to preserve our fundamental rights to keep and preserve arms.

He said, “Our country was born in a gun raid and they can’t take it away from us. With a gun we are able to defend our family and save a life.”

Mirowitz also told of some bills in the Pennsylvania General Assembly and in Congress that affect outdoor sports: Abandoning Pa. Instant Check (we don’t get as loud a voice in Washington as we do in Harrisburg, and PICS is better than NCIS); the No Fly List, Terror Watch List, Expanding Disablers, Universal Background Checks, and Gun Registration.

Said he, “Pennsylvania is Penn’s Wood, a really fine place for all sportsmen.”

Creative Corner

name of Ruthie. We got along well and made a lasting friendship. We hiked, swam, did crafts and had Sunday morning worship services in an area which had been cleared out with rustic benches and a wooden altar. We learned some new camp songs and made leather change purses and braided keychains.

On Sunday we held vespers in an outdoor setting with rows of benches on a hillside and an altar made of stone. We sang songs like Jacob’s Ladder, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Do Your Ears Hang Low, Rocka My Soul and Down in the Valley.

It was an innocent time to gather with other girls my age and I will always remember the good times at Camp Hugh Beaver.

Moore Township Supervisors Discuss a fiveMember board

by BILL HALBFOERSTER

The Home News At their monthly meeting on Tuesday, July 5, members of the Moore Township Board of Supervisors had a discussion about expanding the board to five members, and in the end decided to leave it up to the residents at some time in the future.

It was noted that if the expansion is the residents’ wish, there would be extra costs involved in hiring a township manager and a roadmaster, amounting to an estimated $232,000.

Other matters • The board awarded a bid to AMS of Coopersburg for paving of East Best Road at a cost of $87,044.

• They approved deeds of dedi-

cation for Joseph Tavianini for West End Road.

• Robert Vasila was appointed as a member of the Moore Township Historical Commission.

Reports The report of Chief of Police Gary West for the month of June showed: 322 total incidents, 30 warnings / verbal and written notices, 21 traffic citations, four non-traffic citations of the Dog Law, four arrests (two DUI, one harassments, simple assault, aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another persons, and one firearms not to be carried without a license), two reportable accidents, and seven non-reportable accidents.

Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Co. fire recorder Jason Harhart listed these activities for June: 26 fire calls needing 161 man-hours (two fires, five motor vehicle accidents, two fire police, six automatic fire alarms, nine mutual aids – a search and rescue in Bushkill Twsp. and eight calls in Bath for motor vehicle accidents, fires, hazmat, wires down, and a spill); and one wires down and one tree down. In addition, the fire company’s ambulance responded to 62 calls, using 248 man-hours. They also spent 186 man-hours for fire fighting training and 39 in maintenance.

When I was about 12 or 13 years old, my mother enrolled me in the local 4-H Club. In the first year we made an apron, the next year we made a skirt, after that it was a dress, then a suit, and the last year we made a coat. That is where I learned to sew.

We then elected to take up outdoor cooking over a fire. The first dish we made was Mulligan Stew.

We eagerly looked forward to eating out concoction, but when we tasted it, it was awful. No one wanted to eat it. Even my cat, Fluffy, turned her nose up at it.

The next year we tried outdoor cooking again. This time we did a better job, putting vegetables in foil and roasting them. That dish turned out better than the first.

When I was 13, I signed up for 4-H summer camp at Camp Hugh Beaver in the Poconos. I was excited to be going to camp since I was never away from home over night.

An important Letter to the Residents of The borough of Bath: We, the Bath Volunteer Fire

a variety of positions from bulk silo loader to maintenance. Todd said, “Today I operate a loader moving thousands of tires used as kiln fuel, slag, iron ore and coal.

The loaders operate 364 days, three shifts 24 hours daily. We know what must be done and we do it.”

Ronnie Hess, Tony Plucker, John Folk, and Branden Evans

are Todd’s coworkers. Safety is a priority. There are safety meetings each day. The plant is very busy with trucks constantly moving through the plant. The men must be alert; they want to go home at the end of each day!

Mr. Wesner said, “We push safety hard. We don’t want any accidents.”

A dedicated cement worker,

Todd is married to the former Kelly Brown for 25 years. They are proud of Cole, Connor and daughter Melissa. He appreciates his job for it has provided his family with a good living. The friendly couple resides in Ontelaunee Township.

We wish continued success to Todd and friends at the century old Evansville plant.

Nazareth Borough Council approves resolution honoring Resident competing in 2016 Olympic Games

by JUSTIN SWEITZER During their July 5 regular meeting, Nazareth Borough Council approved a resolution to honor Nazareth resident Joe Kovacs Jr. who qualified to participate in the 2016 Olympic Games for the United States Track and Field Team. Kovacs, who will compete in the shotput in Rio de Janeiro, is Nazareth’s first resident to participate in the Olym-

Huge selection and full showroom

pic Games. Nazareth Borough Council expressed their congratulations for Kovacs who was one place short of qualifying for the Olympics in 2012.

Nazareth resident Sandy Klotz of E. Center Street shared her concern regarding high water levels that flood the street as well as her property. Klotz came before council with hopes that council would approve a drain or drain-

age system to be implemented on her street. Klotz possesses videos of the high water levels, with one showing water flowing over the curb in front of her home into her yard and settling into a large puddle.

The council told Klotz that a single drain would cost the borough around $8,000, and a more complex pipe system to remove water on E. Center Street would cost around $80,000 to $90,000, sums that councilman John Samus called “major expenditures.”

The council told Klotz that those amounts of money are “not in the borough’s budget in the foreseeable future,” and that she should notify the planning committee so that they can conduct a study about flooding hot spots in the borough. The council said projects such as these are usually paid for via grants, and that they would either have to receive such grants before undergoing drainage projects, or set aside money in their budget to save up for the expenses.

The council also motioned to approve the outsourcing and hiring of Cut N’ Vac Lawncare Systems of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to mow, trim and blow off clippings at the Memorial Library of Nazareth and Vicinity. The motion was met with criticism from Public Works Superintendent, Robert Reimer, who believes the move will be damaging to

the morale of Nazareth’s Public Works employees.

Borough Council additionally motioned to move all future borough workshops and business meetings to 6 p.m. The Main Street Corner landscape plan to be done by Prolific Landscape, Inc. was also approved by the council.

It was announced that the borough received a Monroe County LSA Gaming Grant to pay for the installation of a new air conditioning system at 134 S. Main Street. Nazareth Borough Council’s next meeting will be a workshop meeting on Thursday, July 28 at 6 p.m.

Grow UR Biz The Best Customer Service in the World

by CAROL RITTER I have written about the worst customer service in the world, but it’s time to move on to the best customer service in the world.

I have gathered ideas from local businesses to share with you to make your consumer’s experience the best it can be. Feel free to use them in your business.

Take care of the kids…

Tastings - if you own a choc-

olate or cheese shop, make something small to taste for all children who come in with their parents.

Fast Service - when someone comes into your restaurant with small children - give them something small to eat right away maybe a thinly sliced apple with a piece of cheese and cracker or pretzel.

Entertainment - if you own a car dealership - have something for the kids to do while mom and dad are looking at the car - coloring, puzzles, games or better yet, an iPad with age appropriate games.

Take care of the adults…

Tastings - if your customer is unsure about ordering something on the menu, if possible, offer a taste. They’ll remember that gesture and you may have a new sale.

Fast Service - In this fastpaced, overcommitted world, time is important to consumers.

Unexplained delays, obvious lack of interest in you by employees and just plain poor service can drive folks out the door, never to return.

Entertainment - If you have a restaurant and have ‘background’ music, make sure it’s appropriate for your customer base. In general business, if it is necessary for a bit of a wait time (car service, doctor/dentist, hair salon/barber shop), try to have things to disContinued on page 15

“A Convenient Season”

Paul was in prison and Governor Felix sent to hear him “concerning the faith in Christ” (Acts 24:24-25). As Paul preached the gospel to Felix and his wife, the Bible notes that “as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled.”

“Felix trembled” because Paul’s preaching was “hitting the nail on the head!” Felix had governed with unjust severity and lived under the power of unbridled appetites. His third wife, Drusilla, had been the wife of the king of Emesa. She was a Jewess who had forsaken the husband of her youth and forgotten the covenant of her God. As Paul preached, both Felix and his wife knew they stood guilty before a holy God. Think of it. Paul is a prisoner and Felix is his judge. But it’s not Paul who is trembling; it’s Felix. Felix has an army, but he’s afraid. Felix felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit and “trembled” after Paul mentioned “judgment to come.” The day is coming when we shall all stand at the bar of Almighty God—“the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ” (Romans 2:16). The very thought of having to answer to God for the life that we have lived is a fearful thing as Hebrews 10:31 warns, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” As Paul preached, the Spirit of the Lord reached down into the soul of Felix.

He was under conviction. His soul was quickened. His conscience was sensitive. “Felix trembled” then he gave his answer to Paul, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee” (Acts 24:25).

Felix had trembled with conviction, but we never read of him becoming a Christian. It's the story of millions who hear the gospel but die and go to hell because they put it off and did nothing about it. Don't let it be your story!

Opinion FBI findings of Clinton’s email server further alienates her from earning voters’ trust

by JUSTIN SWEITZER

While Republican Party leaders may not have gotten the outcome they were looking for in the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, they got the next best thing: a scathing criticism from FBI Director James Comey which rebuked many of the claims that Clinton had been maintaining on the campaign trail.

In a statement on July 5, just weeks before the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Comey called Clinton’s handling of classified materials “extremely careless,” discrediting Clinton’s multiple claims that she did not send any emails that contained information marked “classified” at the time.

The contradictions between Clinton’s actions and her statements were further highlighted in a congressional hearing on July 7 in which Comey testified before the House Oversight Committee on July 7, two days following the announcement of the FBI’s findings. Rep. Trey Gowdy (RSC) pressed Comey for answers regarding Clinton’s claims and true nature of the activity on her private server.

According to Comey’s statement and the congressional hearing, the FBI found that 110 emails in 52 email chains contained classified information, and that three documents were marked “classified” at the time they were sent, contradicting Clinton’s claim that

she never came across any emails that were marked as classified. In addition to the classified information accessed by Clinton, Comey described the server as less secure than a Gmail account, a damning statement that supports his accusation of careless behavior by Clinton.

Additionally, Clinton had previously claimed that she had used one private email server on one device, whereas the FBI investigation discovered there were multiple private servers and multiple devices used to access them.

Clinton acknowledged using the server was a mistake, but still stands by her previous statements, claiming she did not send any material that was not marked classified at the time. “I did not send or receive any material marked classified,” Clinton said to ABC News’ David Muir. “I am very grateful for the hard work and professionalism of the FBI and the Department of Justice in resolving this matter.”

The question of whether Clinton committed any criminal wrongdoing is a whole other argument in and of itself. What is an indisputable result coming from the FBI’s findings is that Clinton acted carelessly in her handling of classified information and many of her claims about the server have turned out to be false—findings will damage her ability to earn the trust of many voters who were already skeptical at best.

In addition to other scandals that have trailed Clinton throughout her political career, the FBI’s findings now beg the question: Was convenience more important to the former Secretary of State than the safety of classified information? It’s a question that will circle Clinton all the way until November, hindering her efforts to gain the trust of voters who view her as untrustworthy, something she’s been vocal about in recent months.

The only thing saving Clinton from an imminent downward spiral is Donald Trump, whose controversial behavior has drawn the ire of a large portion of Americans. But Clinton’s actions will have a negative effect in her attempts to garner voter trust, as any reasonable voter will at least question a candidate for the country’s next commanderin-chief who seemingly traded security for convenience.

The email situation plays right

into the hands of Donald Trump who continually chomps at the bit for an opportunity to criticize Clinton. Trump has already attacked Clinton with accusations of dishonesty and corruption, so the latest developments surrounding her emails will only serve as additional fodder for the presumptive GOP nominee.

Clinton’s most-prized endorsement, President Obama, also expressed his concern over the revelations in a news conference in Warsaw, Poland, a black eye to a campaign already burdened with trust issues.

Voters will have a tough choice come November as they struggle between choosing a controversial political outsider in Donald Trump, whose business career has been littered with multiple bankruptcies, and his candidacy with racially-fueled comments, and a former Secretary of State who is already one of the most polarizing figures in the political world, who has a new controversy to add to a career of questionable behaviors.
