Northampton must Reduce pollutants In waterways By KERI LINDENMUTH As the Borough of Northampton reaches the end of its five-year MS4 permit, borough council is working on compliance to renew the permit in 2018. At its July 20 meeting, council discussed an upcoming compliance procedure. Among the biggest changes the borough must comply with is a pollutant reduction plan for its waterways. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Program (MS4) strives to minimize the negative impacts of storm water runoff. Its 2018 guidelines are requiring that all municipalities reduce pollution loading to their “impaired” streams. Michael Schwartz of Gilmore & Associates, who has spent two years helping the borough develop a plan for the MS4 guidelines, explained that all of Northampton’s waterways are “impaired,” including the Lehigh River, the Hockendauqua Creek, and the Catasauqua Creek. Metals, suspended solids, and siltation are among the pollutants that must be reduced. “You can lower pollutants, but [eliminating them] is mission impossible,” said Councilman Ed Pany. The DEP is asking that mu-
nicipalities reduce pollutants by five to ten percent over the course of five years. Schwartz explained that one of the ways to reduce pollutants is to plant trees along the waterways as a buffer. “Relatively speaking, the borough is in good compliance with the permit,” said Schwartz. A public hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. on August 17, giving the public the chance to learn more about the MS4 plan. In addition to Schwartz’s presentation at council’s regular meeting, Arthur Swallow of Arthur A. Swallow Associates Land Surveying & Development presented final/preliminary plans to council for apartments on 1503 Main Street. Last month, the planning commission approved the plans. However, for the project to continue, council needed to give approval. Council approved the plan with some conditions. Councilman Pany asked that something be done to ensure Keller Enterprises on Main Street, owned by Frank Keller, has parking for customers. “[They] are the oldest fuel dealer in the borough,” he said. “[We] do not want to penalize him at all…We want to take care of him.” Continued on page 9

Looking Back by Ed Pany Continued from page 1
Mrs. Gizella Kocher is the tax collector and the property tax usually grosses $2,700. The major expenditures are Colonial Regional Police, $546 a month and trash hauling, $1,249 a month by Grand Central Sanitation. There are no full time borough employees. The solicitor is Emil Giordano of Old Post Road, Coplay. Are there any complaints? Usually five or six people annually come to the council meeting with a gripe. Mayor Kocher said, “People usually talk to you at home or on the street if they have something to say.” I asked about police problems. In recent years the police have had to do some drug investigations and the borough hall has a couple of jail cells. The last inmate was a slater who had too much brew, but it’s so long ago no one can remember. My visits to the Borough Council, the United Methodist Church and my interviews with the Robert’s, George’s, Rev. Klingborg, Lakey’s, and council members John Defassio have been very interesting. They gave me, and I hope our readers, an insight and appreciation for the people and Borough of Chapman Quarries. A special thanks to one of my former students, Dana Ackerman, and also Dorothy Niklos, a wonderful lady, for all of her cooperation. See you soon in my next column.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual by DR. GLENN CLEARIE
Heirloom Illness Part Four We are well aware that illness of various types can be an acute and resolving event like a simple cold. It begins and ends with no more problems. However not everything is like that. For some, they suffer with the same conditions that their parents or even great grandparents suffered from. For this scenario, we appear to lack the cause of the illness and for the most part are content to treat symptoms. This will change, yet I am not sure when or how. I’ve spent a few weeks outlining and discussing aspects of heirloom illness, yet have not truly offered up my view on what a cause(s) could potentially be. I am not a Mayo Clinic researcher in the least. I am a simple bootson-the-ground chiropractor. I am an active observer if you will. To this end I do have my ear to the ground and eyes on my patients. Here is what I think: If you were to ask me what’s causing the chronic mystery illnesses that appear either generational or found within families of sorts (like rheumatism, psoriatic arthritis, thyroid problems, cancers, etc.), I would say the way I see it, and I can’t prove it, is that viruses (known and unknown), toxic chemicals, and heavy metals are imbedded inside us. There is more to it for sure, yet you need to consider these the big three. Let’s unpack this a bit. Imagine for a moment a very ordinary viral condition that even though we may feel better overall, never truly leaves our bodies and is subsequently passed down to our offspring. Perhaps the easiest example is the very unassuming Epstein Barr “kissing virus,” that some theorize may be dormant for years and then suddenly becomes active ten or twenty years down the road when the host’s weakened state is right for the taking. Or perhaps a herpes or
shingle virus variant or one of many more virus types (like cytomegalovirus and other known and unknown scoundrels), is imbedded and defying our immune defense army God gave us. A bit scary if you ask me. Imagine the virus latching onto the sensitive nerves that control and coordinate all our bodily functions. An example could be a virus latching onto the vagus or phrenic nerves and when becomes active inflames these nerves (and also dumping their byproducts and nerve-toxins into your system) and makes you so nervous and anxiety riddled that you can barely make it through the day. Imagine now passing that along to your child while pregnant, in mother’s milk while breastfeeding or through a cut while preparing food. Not proven scientifically in the least. Just thinking out loud. Along these lines, wouldn’t it make absolute sense to have a better understanding of autoimmune conditions in that your body doesn’t hate you and is attacking “you” for no good reason? It isn’t from my perspective. It makes more sense to capitulate that your immune army is mounting an attack on the evil virus variant whether it’s living on your nerves, joints or spiraled down and living in an organ like your thyroid. Get it? Let’s take a breather and let that possibility sink in. We will pick up here next time.

Old Bath- Mack’s Diner (1950s) Part Two
By CHARLES MCILHANEY JR.
Roadside diners, with their oblong shapes and metal clad exteriors, were designed to reflect the era of train travel and popularity of the railroad dining car. “Mack’s Diner” on S. Walnut Street in Bath neighbored Alex Saras’ “Sunrise Market” to its north, and “Martin Smith’s Garage” across Walnut Street. Its front parking lot extended south to a rough mowed grass patch, before the railroad tracks. Bobby Itterly would wheel his car across the parking lot toward the grassy area. Then, with the car still in motion, turn off the engine and jump out of the car, letting it free wheel to a stop. Inside, the serving counter ran the full north-south length of the diner, accommodated with stools. The east wall featured tables and chairs. Younger patrons mostly congregated at the south end, where stood a booming jukebox. For a nickel you could select a song, then watch a mechanical arm snatch the vinyl record selection on a regular basis to stay abreast of popular songs. The north end of the counter allowed enough room for a pinball machine. Among others, Eddie Marx spent many hours sitting on a stool, sipping a drink and playing pinball games. Along with hot dinners, hot sandwiches and desserts, the menu also included ice cream. Eileen (Waltz) Applegate recalls many a day walking to the diner for a peanut sundae. P.S. In the previous article on Mack’s Diner, or Mac’s Diner, I was referring to Dr. Steve Kleinschuster.

Comic books
we remember Back in the days, we got our entertainment from comic books. I remember Archie, Jughead, Blonde, Henry Aldrich, Nancy, Felix, Mutt & Jeff, Little Iodine, Betty & Veronica, Abbott & Costello, Charlie Mc-
Carthy, Ozzie & Harriet, Alley Oop, Andy Hardy, Annie Oakley, Buggs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Mighty Mouse and many Walt Disney characters. Comics were first introduced in America in 1896. They appeared as strips of funnies in the newspaper. The first modern comic book, Famous Funnies, was released in the U.S. in 1933. It was a reprint of a newspaper humor comic strip. As time went on, they became more popular and in 1938, Superman was published as a comic book. Remember the Big Little Books? They were approximately 4x4 and about 1 inch thick. They first appeared in 1932 offering a small amount of reading material and pleasure within a small, compact book. The cost was 10 cents. They offered such subjects as Dick Tracy, Smitty, Just Kids, Moon Mullis & Kayo, Popeye, Smoky Stover, Little Annie Rooney, Red Rider, the Lone Ranger and Charlie Chan. The last books were published in 1949.
Chronic Back pain Breakthrough Treatment Combats Rising use of Opioids for pain Treatment
Submitted by JOSEPH MCDERMOTT An exciting and innovative treatment recently approved by the FDA provides substantial relief for patients suffering from the severe effects of chronic back and leg pain – without the risk of addiction and abuse— is now being offered locally at Specialty Spine, Sports & Sports Medicine. This advanced treatment is being launched across the country and is now being offered by Dr. Scott Naftulin and his team at Specialty Spine, Sports & Pain Medicine, in their Bethlehem and Scranton/Wilkes Barre offices. Unlike traditional spinal cord stimulation devices, which deliver low-frequency electrical pulses to mask chronic pain with sensations commonly per-
www.HomeNewsPA.com
ceived as tingling, prickling, pins-and-needles, or vibrations called paresthesia (which many patients consider to be a nuisance) – the Nevro Sensa’s highfrequency HF10 therapy delivers pain relief without these sensations – a major breakthrough for patients. “In my 20 years of practice I have not encountered such a dramatically successful treatment for patients suffering from refractory low back pain, either previously operated or not,” said Dr. Naftulin. Chronic back pain can be debilitating and often interferes with everyday functions. It affects more than 100 million Americans and is the primary cause of disability among adults in the U.S. Opioid painkillers as a treatment for severe pain has been making headlines in recent years as the increased use has been linked to a rising epidemic of addiction and a possible correlation to opiate-related overdoses. In July 2016, Congress passed a bipartisan bill to combat opioid addiction in response to the almost 3,000 percent increase in addiction rates over the past decade. The FDA approval of HF10 therapy came with a label of superiority over traditional spinal cord stimulation therapy – the first and only device of its kind approved with this rating. Twoyear safety and effectiveness data from a randomized study of HF10 therapy was recently published in Neurosurgery. Charles B*, a resident of Bath, PA suffered a work-related injury in 2003. After undergoing back surgery that same year, he was told, “this was the best I would ever be” and put on a regimen of opioid pain medications and injections to help ease his suffering. Within two months of the Nevro device being implanted, Charles has been completely weaned off his pain medication. When asked about the past two months compared to the past 14 years, he said, “It absolutely changed my life. I have no nerve pain in my back or my legs. It’s incredible!” For more information on Dr. Naftulin visit specialityspinecare.com. To learn more about the device visit HF10therapy. com.

Local excavating Contractor nominated For prestigious National award Submitted by TINA LIVENGOOD Livengood Excavators Inc., of Walnutport PA., was voted one of the Top 12 Contractors in the US. The Equipment World Magazine promotes the Annual Contractor of the Year event. Livengood Excavators Inc., was nominated by our local CAT dealer. Thousands of nominations were received and reviewed. These nominations were narrowed down to the Top 100 in the US, and then further down to the Top 25 in the US. At that time, Leo Livengood, Owner and President of the company, was notified that Livengood Excavators Inc., was in the top 25. This in itself, was a great honor for Leo. The contest was then whittled down the Top 12! Leo said he was surprised and honored to be chosen as one of the Top 12 Contractors in the nation. This prestigious award included a trip to Las Vegas where The Equipment World Contractor of the Year event ceremonies took place. Also included in this trip were several roundtable discussions about the industry. The weekend long event included a trip to the March 12 NASCAR Kobalt Tools 400 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and to CONEXPO, the largest equipment display in the world. The event was then

topped off with the Gala awards and Banquet. Harvey Livengood Excavating, was started back in 1947, in Palmerton PA., by Leo’s father, Harvey Livengood, who was owner and operator with two part time employees. In 1950, Harvey moved the business to its present location along Rte. 248 in Walnutport. Leo started operating equipment at the age of 12, working mostly after school and during the summer. In the 1970’s Leo purchased the company from his father and changed the name to Livengood Excavators Inc. Most local people are well aware of the well maintained Red and White Livengood Excavators trucks which can be seen all over the Lehigh Valley. One of the first jobs that Leo did, with his father, was grading the ramps where the cars park at Becky’s Drive In, owned and operated by the Beck family. Becky’s Drive In, put in a second screen several years ago and Leo had the honor of once again, grading the ramps for the new second screen. Leo said he wanted to do this himself, as it was the second generation of the Beck family putting in the screen and the second generation of Livengood family doing the grading, approximately 60 years after the first screen.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Summer thunderstorms or showers come and go, and they affected Bath Community Days at Fire Fighters Park. There was plenty going on with the kids, and lots of good music. I’m glad to see the weather was good for the 5K race and motorcycle ride for Dream Come True on Saturday and the Sunday dedication of a pink ambulance run by chapter of the Pink Heals. These benefit events are wonderful in helping people. State Rep. Marcia Hahn, Mayor Fi and members of town council were all there. Hats off to all the volunteers and the public in general who participated!!! And speaking of council, I think they did the right thing, withdrawing from the Colonial Police Department. They’ll still be with us the next calendar year, but now we know where we stand and it’s time to mull over what’s next. The Phillies won three games in a row, but before you know it they’re losing again. Maybe I need to follow the IronPigs! . . . Eagles training camp started on Monday. Remember when that was at Lehigh Univ.? I liked that a lot better then down at Philly. Let’s hope year #2 with Carson Wentz is even better. . . It’s time to leave the dogs out before the next thunderstorm rolls through, we sure are getting our share of the wet stuff . . . Got some work to do on my spouting, so I’ll wrap this up. Have a nice clear week.

by KERI LINDENMUTH The weekend may have been marked with excessive heat and strong storms, but that did not stop residents of Bath from coming out to support the fire department and making the most out the borough’s annual Community Days celebration, held from July 20 through the 22 at Firefighters Park. Families came out to enjoy the rides, play the carnival games, savor the great food, and simply catch up with neighbors. From the Ferris wheel to the fun house, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Kids, teens, and parents alike could try their luck at the dunk tank, carnival rings, or water gun games. There were also inflatables, face painting, and pony rides to keep everyone entertained. A 5k run/walk was held on Saturday morning. Various vendors set up shop, selling wooden roses, glow sticks, and LuLaRoe. Cat County 96 was there playing music and on Friday, July 21, Desire serenaded the crowd with classic doo wop tunes. There was no need to worry about cooking dinner for those who came out to the event. The fire department was there selling hot dogs, hamburgers, and barbeque. There was also pizza, homemade pierogis, and plenty of fried food. Meanwhile, with funnel cake, ice cream, Italian ice, smoothies, and fried Oreos, there was no shortage of tasty desserts. Although rain cut the celebration short on its final day and canceled the fireworks, those who braved the heat and came out to the celebration surely had a memorable time.

Livengood
Council
Continued from page 5
Continued from page 1
Livengood Excavators Inc., currently has approximately 85 employees. Most employees that are employed here, have worked here at least fifteen or more years, some as long as 40 years. Leo and Tim continue to strive to find the right fit of employee. Leo’s immediate family members all work for the company. His son Tim, started working in the business while still in high school as a truck driver and equipment operator. He went onto college and then began doing estimating and project management. He continues to oversee all estimating and all project management. His knowledge has pushed Livengood Excavators Inc., to be one of the top commercial, industrial and residential excavating and paving companies in the Lehigh Valley. In its almost 60 years of existence, Livengood Excavators Inc., has probably completed more commercial sites in the Lehigh Valley than any other contractor. His wife Betty, has been the bookkeeper since the beginning and continues to be in the office daily, and is a very integral part of the company. His daughter Tina, has worked for the company for 30 years and continues to perform all aspects of HR and accounting. Because of its growth over the years, additional office space and employees have been added. Lynn, Andrea and Elizabeth all help with office administration. Bill Parliman, is the lead estimator, bidding commercial and industrial projects of all sizes. He receives assistance from Josh, who is knowledgeable with AGTEK automated take- off. Livengood Excavators Inc., can be seen working throughout the Lehigh Valley. They have anywhere from 20-25 large jobs at a time. Livengood could recently be seen in the Lehighton area working on the Lehighton KIA and St. Luke’s Blakeslee projects. Livengood is also currently working on numerous other projects in the Lehigh Valley, including Hellertown, Center Valley and Upper Macungie. Leo Livengood, at 77 years of age is still very active in the day to day aspects of running the business. He will still occasionally fill in as an operator on any of the equipment in his fleet. He is proud of the longevity of the business.
Pany also asked that a historical sign be erected to commemorate the building as Northampton’s first high school. Developers anticipate that construction will begin in September or October. In addition, council made a motion to allow bicycles on the D&L Trail. The section of the trail in Northampton was the only section of the trail to ban bicycles. All members of council approved the request, except for Council-
man Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr., who cited safety concerns. Finally, council approved a request made by State Representative Zachary Mako to hold a shredding event on Saturday, October 7, from 10 a.m. until noon. The event will take place at the Northampton Memorial Community Center. Both borough residents and nonresidents will be able to shred old documents at no cost. This will not be an electronic recycling event, nor will bottles, plastics, metals, etc. be accepted. The next council meeting will be held on August 17.

Reservations for Hell?
The Bible refers to heaven as a most wonderful place, so it is understandable why a person would want a reservation for heaven, but why would anyone want a reservation for hell when everyone knows it is a horrible place of misery? The biblical truth is that since we “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23), “and were by nature the children of wrath” (Ephesians 2:3), we were all destined for hell! In other words, our sins are responsible for making our reservations for hell! The Bible says, “the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction” (Job 21:30). Thankfully, God has made it possible for us to change our reservations from hell to heaven by believing in His Son, Jesus, and accepting His sacrifice for our sins on the cross. In that moment of repentance of our sins and faith in Christ, our reservation for heaven is certified by God, and our names are “written in the Lamb’s book of life” (Revelation 21:27). If you trust in Christ as your Savior, you experience the peace, joy, and assurance of knowing you have “an inheritance incorruptible that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:4). But what about those who do not trust in Christ? Jesus said, “he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18). Because of their sins, they “already” have reservations for hell. Their rejection of Jesus leaves them without hope of salvation “to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever” (Jude 1:13). The consequence of their rejection is given in Revelation 20:15, “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 21:8 declares that the “unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.” I urge you to place your faith in Jesus Christ now and get your reservation changed from hell to heaven!

Bud Cole
Bernard H. "Bud" Cole of Northampton, died July 21, at St. Luke's Hospital and Health Network, Bethlehem, after a long illness. He was born in Allentown, Pa., the son of the late Bernard G. Cole and the late Alvona (Sterner) Cole. He graduated from Whitehall High School in June 1962 and headed to East Stroudsburg University in August to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. Bud graduated in May 1966 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education with a specialty in Health and Physical Education. He was certified in Driver Education and Outdoor Education. He was a member of Sigma Pi, ESSC. Bud was a dedicated and creative educator who taught fourth, fifth, and sixth grades in Northampton Area School District from 1966-1999, awakening a love of science and the outdoors in many of his students. In 1981 he received the Northampton County
Conservation District Outdoor Educator of the Year award. He served as the Northampton Borough Schools PTA President and worked on many education committees and projects. Bud also showed his love of nature, his concern for the environment, and his enthusiasm for bettering his community through countless hours of volunteer service. Bud has been affiliated with the National Ski Patrol for 47 years. He volunteered at the Walnutport Canal Lock House Museum, Lehigh Gap Nature Center, State Theatre in Easton, and the Wildlands Conservancy. He was co-founder and Vice President of the Bertsch-Hokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed Association. He served for many years as the ESSC Sigma Pi, Beta Psi Alumni President. Although Bud said that English was never his favorite topic to teach, after retiring from teaching he discovered a passion and flair for writing and photography, particularly about the wonders of nature and the outdoors life. Through his writing, Bud combined his intense curiosity about nature, his love of animals, his deep enjoyment of meeting and talking with new people, and his delightful sense of humor. Bud was an active member and board member of the Pennsylvania Outdoor Writers Association and active member of the Outdoors Writers of America Association. He received a certificate in 2010 from the POWA board of directors for outstanding service to the organization. He has won awards for his writing and photography with awards from POWA as well as 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Professional Keystone Newspaper Awards for his outdoor column, Bud's View, and in 2017, a first-place award for his sports/ outdoor column.

He has written two children's novels, The Mystery of Little Bear and the soon-tobe published Bear and Buddy's Remarkable Adventures. One of Bud's proudest moments was learning that he had been named the recipient of the 2016 Helen G. Brown Award from ESU for his accomplishments as an educator, a journalist, and enthusiast of nature and the outdoors. Bud has been married to Beverly L. (Cole) Cole for 24 years. Bev shared Bud's love of travel, gardening, skiing, snowshoeing, kayaking, hiking, and many other outdoor activities. Both Bud and Bev were adjunct professors at Northampton Community College instructing both children and adults. They created and were co-directors of the The Three B'S Mobile Nature Center. They traveled throughout the United States and abroad on Bud's writing trips and for their own learning and enrichment. Their interests in the outdoors inspired them to lead
