Boy Scout Troop 43 Attends Camp Minsi Bikers Remembering Bikers celebrates 14th year by KERI LINDENMUTH For the fourteenth year, dozens of motorcycles zoomed up Route 512 in Bath for an important cause. On Saturday, July 20, the Bath Fire Social Hall held its annual Bikers Remembering Bikers event. The motorcycle ride,
in honor of fallen bikers, raises funds for Dream Come True Blue Ridge Chapter. Dream Come True has granted hundreds of critically and terminally ill children their dreams to travel, meet celebrities, and get exciting bedContinued on page 3
submitted by MICHELE MORROW Boy Scout Troop 43, of Sacred Heart Church in Bath, recently attended summer camp at Camp Minsi in Mount Pocono. Nine scouts from the troop spent the week enjoying the traditional summer camp experiences, including earning more than 50 merit badges combined. Other notable activities from the week included: two first year campers, a BSA Paddle Boarding award earned, Frigid Froggy Highest attendance award (an annual Troop 43 tradition), Leadership Training course completed, two Tote n Chip and two Fire m'n Chit awards earned, a special award, “Most Fish Caught”, was pre-
sented to Xavier Shive-Sanchez, and not to mention the gallons of slushies drank (another Troop 43 tradition). Xavier, who attended the last two years, said, “I really enjoyed this camp and I am looking forward to coming back next year. I enjoyed the camaraderie, and what I learned while earning the merit badges. As a result of getting my fishing merit badges, I have won fishing awards, and it has become my summer hobby.” In addition, three of Troop 43 Scouts were called out in the Order of the Arrow ceremony: Aidan Gallagher, Andrew Getz, and Aidan Henry. Troop 43 has been attending summer camp at Camp Minsi since 1958.

Never pay for services in cash and be wary of paying upfront for a product or service that will be delivered at a later date. A receipt is worth nothing unless the business is valid and reputable.

Leasing based on units similar to a model unit and putting money down on a place unseen is on the rise, and would-be renters are being scammed out of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. When renting a new place, watch out for scammers who ask you to sign before seeing anything or request payment via money wire, peerto- peer apps or cash.

Miller said 100 percent of the money raised goes to the children. The non-profit is run only by volunteers. A lot of children, he said, wish to go to Disney World. Meanwhile, organizations like PenTelaData and Penn’s Peak help schedule celebrity meet-andgreets. Dream Come True makes sure the dream extends to the entire immediate family, too. “It is a time in which they can go and not worry about anything,” he said. “This is what matters,” Pasquariello said before the bikers started their ride. He had Madison and Sean by his side. “We have two of the greatest kids in the world.” State Representative Marcia Hahn, Mayor Fiorella Mirabito, Borough Manager Brad Flynn, and Councilwoman Phyllis Andrews were in attendance to see the bikers off. Sean and Madison, with smiles on their faces, also waved to the riders as they passed by on what some jokingly said would be a “short, cool ride.” Miller praised Pasquariello’s dedication, perseverance, and passion for helping the children of Dream Come True. “Jimmy is a great guy,” said Miller. “I hope they can continue

Legislators announce State grant to connect Local business with Clean energy source submitted by SCOTT LITTLE State Sen. Mario Scavello (R-Northampton/Monroe) and Rep. Marcia Hahn (RNorthampton) are announcing the award of a nearly $321,000 grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) Pipeline Investment Program that will allow natural gas service to be extended to Keystone Cement Company in East Allen Township. The grant will be administered by the Lehigh Valley Economic Investment Corporation, which serves as an intermediary between business owners and financial institutions or economic development financing programs in the Commonwealth. “Keystone’s parent company, Giant Cement Holding, will fund more than three quarters of the cost of the nearly $2.2 million proposal,” Hahn said. “The grant will merely complete the project and allow Keystone to access a clean energy source of which Pennsylvania has an abundance.” ING EVERYTH E! ON SAL
Founded in 1928, Keystone Cement manufactures Portland and masonry cements that are used in the construction of highways, bridges and buildings. “Keystone has a long and storied history in Northampton County and has employed countless men and women from our local communities throughout the years,” added Scavello. “I am pleased to support Keystone’s efforts as they continue to invest in their plant infrastructure and maintain their presence for many more years to come.” The CFA was established in 2004 as an independent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to administer Pennsylvania's economic stimulus packages. The Pipeline Investment Grant program funds come from CFA Alternative Energy Investment Act High Performance Building Program funds (CFA Alternative Energy bond funds) and other CFA program funds.

Sharon Louise, Miss Sharon’s Historical Clothing.
Small Businesses, Mighty People By PRÍNCIPE CASTRO For this first installment I visited Miss Sharon's Historical Clothing, where I met owner Sharon Louise. Little did I know, I was in for a trip through time. This shop is a great fit to Bath’s Historic Chestnut Street for various reasons. Miss Sharon creates custom made historical clothing, and she shared an interesting discovery with me. Shortly after moving in she learned that the property was also used as a seamstress shop by a woman named Anna Louisa Roth in the 1840s, moreover it was also the location for a tailor named Bartholomew in the year 1885. Any mathematician reading this perhaps could comment on the odds of this happening. My guess is that chances are slim. Continuing our conversation, Sharon Louise mentioned that her favorite era is the 1870s, or the “bustle era” as that period of time is often known as. Her fascination for this historical time sparked at a very young age when her family took her to the Bicentennial exhibits. As you might know this was an event held in Philadelphia in 1976 commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. She fell in love with the attention to details employed in the making of clothing, a time when women would wear elaborate hats and other fashion accessories. She candidly recalled her earliest memories working with fabric. She was three years old when her grandmother taught her hand stitching techniques using practice sheets. She also remembered enjoying sewing classes during her early school years. These initial experiences put her in contact with the art
of sewing. Miss Sharon is considered a self-taught historical seamstress and the trade runs in her family. Her great-grandmother and two of her greatgrandmother’s sisters were also seamstresses; one of them specialized in hat making. Sharon explains she strives to be as historically accurate as possible with her work. Even using treadle powered sewing machines, which she admitted she prefers over modern electric machines. Her work is not limited to historical clothing that is mostly used in reenactments and museums. She has done work for Comic-Con conventions recreating superheroes and other pop culture characters. She has also made costumes for steam-punk themed parties, she is a milliner and her sewing machines are capable of sewing through leather. This feature has become popular among local Motorcycle Riders who want to proudly display their club patches on different leather pieces. Miss Sharon recounted one of the oddest sewing jobs; it was a quilt made out of concert t-shirts (how cool is that, huh?). I look forward to see what else comes from the shop of this very creative individual. You can just stop by to appreciate Miss Sharon’s storefront. You will feel drawn back in time with all the vintage décor that includes images and family photos, in addition to whatever new dress is on display. Do you or someone you know have a story that you think deserves to be featured in “Small Businesses, Mighty People”? Contact Príncipe Castro at AskUs@HomeNewsPA.com. Next time we will visit D&S Florist in Bath.

Rude, rude, Rude
What does rude mean? It means offensively impolite or illmannered. Is it rude when a driver cuts in front of you on the way to work, causing you to feel annoyed and frustrated? Is it rude to push yourself in front of someone in line? Is it rude to hang up on someone without saying goodbye because you don’t like what the other person said? Is it rude to be chronically late for work? Some days you might think rudeness is rampant and it must be stopped. First of all, don’t take it personally. If you do you are more likely to be rude to someone else. So, to stop the rudeness, respond with kindness and empathy. However, when all else fails, sometimes it’s best to walk away from that person. By avoiding habitually rude people, you take away their audience and give them fewer targets to lash out at. A lack of an audience will also defuse the situation. So, why are people rude? I’m
thinking it’s because people are intolerant of others. It can also be the product of arrogance, an attitude of just “better than you and I can get away with almost anything.” So, what causes rudeness? Low self-esteem, learned behavior, personal problems and emotional immaturity. Seventy-nine percent of Americans say that lack of respect is a serious problem, while 60 percent think rude behavior is on the rise. I recommend taking the high road, even if it’s sometimes lonely up there. Be kind and don’t allow yourself to get in the “rude trap” ever again.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Stories From With temperatures between 98 and 104 around here last week, don’t step outside very long – you’ll bake! Get inside for the air conditioning – it’s hard to believe that on the same day – last Wednesday – it was 82 in Atlanta. . . Ye Ed is in Moravian Village, a large place on E. Broad St., Bethlehem, especially for rehab. The patients are mostly seniors who get around with walkers or wheelchairs. A large staff has a complete floor devoted to getting patients’ muscles working again. . . They use all sorts of implements that help in the rehab. The part of my brain that the stroke affected was in the back, a segment that controls swallowing. I’ve been undergoing therapy and doing exercises to build up the jaw and neck muscles. Ye Ed is on a soft diet that is repulsive – everything is nectarized. Thursday afternoon we were invited to watch a move, “Dr. Zhivago.” We saw 1-1/4 hours of it when they shut it down. At 4:00 o’clock it was time for showers. To those new to Bath, it’s sad to see that Hahnemann’s Hospital in Philly is closing. The hospital got its start in Bath, on S. Chestnut St., but now is in financial distress. Phillies are off today after a battle with the Pirates that they won. Next up, the Tigers and Braves again. Another chance to gain on them if they can hit together. The season is winding down, so they better win this time around. Til next week, take care of yourselves and I hope to see you soon. Thanks for the cards, my address is 634 E Broad St., Bethlehem, within sight of the Steel stacks and the casino.
My Heart
by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca Our Multifaceted Lives
Multifaceted is a beautiful word. It lends itself nicely to family and friends, and what makes them so different and unique. I believe that when we were created in our mother's womb, the layers of our personalities, confidence, creativity, self-esteem, patience, imperfections, acceptance, forgiveness, hope, faith, truth, and love were given their appropriate dosages. The amount of allotted dosages make us who we are. Did you ever take notice when certain people enter a room, they seem to sparkle and shine like a multifaceted gem? They are the friends and family that we like to be around. Their love for everyone they meet seems to shine like a two-carat diamond. They seem happy, loving, and grateful for everything they have in their lives. I have noticed that when life hands them lemons, they are the ones that will squeeze, and squeeze to make lemonade. They are slow to anger and have the patience of a saint. These family members and friends are fun to be around and always keep our best interest at heart. I believe they choose to be happy. Sometimes, I think God gives us all that we need. However, it's what we do with what is assigned that determines the multifaceted layers, and how much we will sparkle and shine. The next time you are at a family affair or with your friends, take a quick look. Who's shining, who's a little dim, and whose sparkle is gone? Ask yourself if there is

something you can do to help them to feel better. Maybe they need someone to talk to. Maybe they are struggling. Perhaps they just need to know that someone cares about them. Be there for those who need a helping hand. I like to believe that God made us all different for a reason. I think, He invites us to make a difference in those we meet daily, whether they are our family members, friends, or a stranger on the street. Remember, starting with a smile has the potential to change someone's dim multifaceted layers to sparkle and shine. Be a hero, be a giver, be friendly, be supportive, be love, be someone who forgives, be accepting, be a person of faith, and be the truth. If we want to see change, we need to be the change.
So, think about those who sparkle and shine, and those who seem a little lost and are dim. What can you do to make a difference?
The One Petal By Charles McIlhaney Jr.
Oh perfect flower that lends beknown That which I was shy to tell. Oh precious seed of augery sown Reveals, in secret, I love her well.
Sweet Missy long in the meadow stayed Amidst the flowered stand. I watched her as I passed the lea; A single daisy in her hand. “He loves me, he loves me not,” her chant; picking the petals to their end. And begged the blossomed prophet grant An aye in silent portend.

Northampton plans for meeting with Allen Township over sewer agreement By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Thursday, July 18, Northampton Borough Council announced that the borough will be meeting with several Allen Township supervisors and township solicitor Lincoln Treadwell to discuss the amended sewer agreement between the two municipalities. The intermunicipal sewer contract has been expired since 2016. A new contract proposes a rate increase. Without a contract, several Allen Township residents and soon-to-be residents are not allowed to occupy their new homes because they have not been hooked up to the sewer. Some residents have been in “limbo” for ten months.
The meeting was scheduled to take place on Monday, July 22. In other news, D.A.R.E. Officer Ryan Konetsky has announced his resignation as instructor of the program. Council approved Officer Ryan Grube as his replacement. Members of council praised Konetsky for his years of dedication. “It has been a long project,” said Councilman Robert McHale. “I thank him for his diligence in keeping it going.” During their meeting, council also tabled a request to make a donation to Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley. The non-profit organization sent a letter to the borough, seeking a

monetary contribution. The borough does not provide cash support to organizations, explained Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst. “I do not know where we would end up drawing the line,” he added. McHale motioned for the request to be tabled until budgeting for 2020 has started. Perhaps, he said, the request could be reconsidered. Council agreed unanimously. Finally, Linda Smith from Fair Districts PA asked for the borough’s support in endorsing legislation that would prevent gerrymandering and make for fairer and more equal elections. Solicitor Steven Goudsouzian said council will take some time to review the materials Smith provided them with and put a resolution on the agenda for a future date.

Nazareth Mayor Lance Colondo Appointed Unity Bank Bethlehem Branch Relationship Manager/ Assistant Vice President Submitted by ANITA CALLARI Unity Bank has appointed Lance Colondo of Nazareth to the position of Relationship Manager and Assistant Vice President for its Bethlehem Branch at 2850 Easton Avenue. Colondo, a resident of the Lehigh Valley for more than 30 years, is the current Mayor of Nazareth. “We are excited to have Lance join our team in Bethlehem,” said Janice Bolomey, Unity Bank’s Director of Sales and Chief Administrative Officer/Executive Vice President. “Lance obviously has a wealth of experience in the community, which is important to Unity because we are committed to being very active in the communities where we do business. Lance also has more than 30 years of management and banking experience so he is an ideal choice for our Bethlehem branch.” Colondo previously managed Unity’s Phillipsburg, N.J. branch and has held similar positions with several regional banks located in the Lehigh
Valley. He has long been active with the Nazareth-Bath Area Chamber of Commerce where he served as Chairperson prior to his seeking the office of Mayor. Colondo was appointed to a two-year term on the Nazareth Council in February 2014 and was elected to a second two-year term in 2016. He has served as the Borough’s liaison to the Nazareth Area Council of Governments and to the Nazareth Economic Development

Hutchinson Bypass); and the Gateway tolling point (milepost 2 near Ohio on I-76). The toll increase — like previous annual increases — is required to meet escalating debtservice costs associated with the PTC’s annual Act 44/Act 89
Commission in addition to his former duties as Fire Committee Chairman and Law Chairman. “Unity Bank is a true full-service community bank that values its customers and customer service,” said Colondo. “Unity is committed to the Lehigh Valley community and I am thrilled to be a part of the Bethlehem team. I encourage those seeking alternatives in financial services to visit our branch.” contributions to the Commonwealth of PA for transit operations and funding for the PTC’s 10-year capital program. “Since 2007, the commission has increased tolls annually to maintain its aging roads and make good on a funding obligation required by two state laws, Act 44 of 2007 and Act 89 of 2013,” Compton said. “As a result, the commission has delivered $6.6 billion in toll-backed funding to PennDOT in the last dozen years.” Last month, the PA Turnpike issued $800 million in subor-
dinate municipal bonds to help fund $900 million in payments to the commonwealth for the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years. A $450 payment was made June 27 for the commonwealth’s fiscal year ended June 30. By law, these payments support mass transit statewide, with the bulk of funding supporting transit in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. “Due to this onerous funding requirement, nearly half of the PA Turnpike’s FY 2020 toll revenue will go to pay debt service alone,” Compton said. “Antici-

The PTC has reconstructed more than 140 miles of its system, with another 11 miles of roadway being rebuilt and widened and more than 82 miles in planning and design phases. (The PTC does not receive taxpayer appropriations to operate
or maintain its roadways.) As part of ongoing efforts to control costs, Compton noted that the PTC has seen success in limiting the growth in the operating budget and reducing spending in the 10-year capital plan by about $1 billion.
“We are doing what we can to mind our shop and manage costs as we deal with our economic realities,” Compton said. “For the 2019 fiscal year ending May 31st, we're projecting operating expenses to come in almost $40 million under budget while

No Condemnation?
Did you ever notice how hard it is to get rid of nagging guilt--that vague awareness that something is wrong? We’ve tried to do right, but still there is that nagging feeling that we remain guilty before the Supreme Judge for what we called our “wild oats,” or “youthful indiscretions,” or merely “mistakes.” We’ve tried to bury that guilt doing good things to feel better about ourselves. After all, we were baptized, learned our catechism word perfect, joined the church, sang in the choir, were confirmed, and our children have been christened and have perfect Sunday School attendance records. Besides all the “religious stuff” we have done, we are good neighbors, pay our bills, pay our taxes, etc. Yet, why don’t we feel secure about death and whatever comes after? Could those minor weaknesses be called SIN? Paul the Apostle said in Romans 8:1-4, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Is that our problem? Have we been trying to justify ourselves through the “law” of our own “works”? Do we need to be “in Christ Jesus” and “walk after the Spirit” instead? Did He really send His Son for our sin, so that we can be righteous, not by doing good things, but because “he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Cor. 5:21)? Maybe we should just give up our efforts to “be good” and trust Him Who IS good!!! -Submitted by church member, Carl Edwards

Joey Geist of Bath presents check to American Cancer Society
Check presented to ACS.
submitted by LORI BOOKBINDER Joey Geist, age 9 of Bath, presented an oversized check for $601.18 to the American Cancer Society, Bethlehem Chapter, last Thursday, July 18. The funds are a result of a fundraising campaign he spearheaded. Joey also held a lemonade stand fundraiser in the parking lot after the presentation. Fire Warden Lt. Michael Geist of Bath, Pa., a former firefighter with the Bushkill Township Volunteer Fire Company and patient of BAYADA Hospice in Boyertown, Pa., passed away earlier this year of brain cancer at the young age of 32. His 9-year-old son, Joey, is a remarkable child
who, despite dealing with his own grief, wants to help people facing the same illness as his father so that they don’t have to die. Joey has encouraged others—including employees from BAYADA Hospice—to donate to the American Cancer Society to help cure this horrible disease. Joey intended to sell his treasured Pokémon cards to raise money, until BAYADA Hospice stepped in and helped raise funds so he wouldn’t have to sell his cards. In addition, some local “angels” built and painted for him a custom lemonade stand—named Joey’s Juices—so he can continue to raise money to fight cancer.
In honor of his father, the stand looks like a fire truck with a ladder and lights and is complete with the number 5235, which was Joey’s father’s fire station number. When Joey saw his amazing stand for the first time, he said, “This is awesome! I must sell lemonade now!” Joey plans to sell lemonade throughout the local communities during the summer—to raise additional funds as part of the journey of Joey’s Juices. The Geist family had no life insurance. Those who would like to donate to help them can do so at: https://www.gofundme.com/ lt-geist-funeral-expenses.
