The Home News Children’s Book Readings at Bath Farmers Market June 27 Submtted by
ALLISON CZAPP Local children’s book author Phyllis Palamaro will be at the Bath Farmers’ Market this Friday, June 27, reading her book, “Farmer Bonnie and Sally the Sad Cow” on the hour. According to Palamaro, the book is about “family, community, friendship and helping each other out,” and is the first in a three-book series, “The Adventures of Farmer Bonnie.” The book is illustrated by local artist Kay Frederick, who traveled around to different Lehigh Valley farms looking for inspiration for the illustrations. Palamaro also donates her portion of the book’s royalties to the Bath Area Food Pantry and so far has contributed more than $300. “People are very generous,” she said, adding that some people make additional donations to the pantry when purchasing the book. Palamaro has read the book to children at the Palmer and Northampton Area libraries and will be visiting Northampton area schools in the fall. The next book in the series, “Farmer Bonnie and the Missing Mule,” is also slated for release this fall. The book will be available for sale at the market for $15.80. To coincide with Palamaro’s readings, the Bath Farmers Market will hold a canned food drive at this Friday’s market. All donations will benefit the Bath Area Food Pantry. Please bring a donation with you when visiting the market this week to help out community members in

Emergency crews responded to a house fire at 6899 Bullshead Road at 11:45 a.m. on Friday. Much of the front of the second floor appeared to be damaged and heavy smoke was coming from the attic windows of the home across the street from the historic Weaversville Inn. Fire companies from East Allen Twp., Allen Twp., Lehigh Twp., Catasauqua, Hanover Twp., Hecktown, and Northampton responded. Everyone inside was reported safe on the scene. The home is the current residence of former Deputy Allentown Fire Captain Michael Scheirer and his wife Debra. The fire was ruled accidental and was electrical in nature.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Home Run By CAROL RITTER
Baseball fever is alive and well here in the Lehigh Valley. If you’re not a Phillies Fan, that’s okay, you could be a Reading Phillies Fan. If you’re not a Reading Phillies Fan you could be an Iron Pigs Fan. If you’re not an Iron Pigs Fan how about being a fan of your child’s team or your grandchild’s team? Whatever your pleasure, it’s the season for peanuts, popcorn and crackerjack and, hopefully, a HOME RUN. When I coached seven year olds, I remember there was rarely a kid on the team who could hit a HOME RUN. And, if they did it was because the outfield was picking daisies or talking to another player or maybe, in my case, the center fielder ran off the field in the middle of a play to hit the boy’s room. Just like a seven year old, in business sometimes your players don’t have their eyes on the ball and even though you wish and hope for a HOME RUN, it’s not coming because no one is paying attention to the possibility.

Don’t criticize when your staff strikes out, encourage and inspire 6. Keep up the TEAM spirit, create it and celebrate it 7.

So I’ve been watching the World Cup down in Brazil. Those players sure do knock each other around a lot getting to the ball and kicking it or knocking it into the air with their heads.

25 students enrolled. To date, that number is less than half, at 12. Boys and girls aged 14 to 17, who want to learn about the values of conservation and the environment in which all of us live, need to sign up as soon as possible. Talk to your parents, or conversely, parents talk to your children. They will have a life-changing experience that is meaningful. This has been proven for more than 30 years that the school has existed. The school will again be headquartered at the 4-H Center in Bushkill Township and from there branch out to various locations throughout Northampton County as the hands-on lessons are taught in so many ways. Curtis, at last week’s meeting, brought several articles to further train the staff and give them confidence in their leadership. One article stressed five lessons learned from sleepaway camp: building relationships, believing in oneself, empathizing, embracing diversity, and getting outside your comfort zone. Also provided was a chart on six pillars of character: Being trustworthy, respectful, responsible, fair, caring, and being a good citizen. The Northampton County Junior Conservation School was founded in 1981, and is regarded as one of the finest in all of Pennsylvania.

Dempsey from Texas. It was a shame they hadta settle for a tie with Portugal and that Cristiano Ronaldo the other day, but it was so fast that the ball went into the net for Portugal to tie the score at 2-2. There were only a few seconds before the game was over! Germany is up next with the knock-out round still a good possibility. . . . Interesting themes the vacation Bible schools are having these days. Up in Salem U.C.C. it’s weird animals, down town at the U.C.C. church there’s gonna be a jungle, and at Emmanuel Lutheran it’s wilderness escape. But, like the story time up at Covenant Methodist, it’s all about what God created. Have fun and learn a lot, kids! . . . .It’s a different kind of story they’ll hear on Friday down at the farmers market, I saw in last week’s paper. Local author name of Phyllis Talamaro is gonna tell about “Farmer Bonnie and Sally the Sad Cow.” With that, plus music, and all the good fruits and vegetables coming off of the farms, the outdoor farmers market is the place to be Friday afternoon and evening. . . .In my opinion, the supervisors over in Lower Nazareth made the right decision last week to stay with Colonial Regional Police. With all the technology these days, there’s no way a local police force could start up without having to pay more than they expect. Besides, CRPD already has it, and they have more than 20 some officers. Former Bath chief Tony Kovalovsky is one of ‘em. . . .Happy 35th anniversary to the East Allen Township Ambulance Corps. They and the other volunteer ambulance services around here do a great job, so when there’s a medical emergency they’re right there. . . . Jen from Town & Country knows that South Carolina beach very well that Ye Ed had on a t-shirt he wore there last week. Her hubby also did construction work on homes down at the resort. . . . Some politicians are making a big thing about looking for more taxes from Marcellus shale natural gas drilling, and I see that Northampton County is already getting $286,000. So are they getting more greedy? . . . . July can’t come fast enough for South Chestnut Street. That’s when they’re gonna resurface it. Those holes sure are noisy when cars hit ‘em. . . . Elmira’s gonna make a rhubarb custard pie from the rhubarb she bought down at the farmers market. One of my favorites! . . . .Have a great week, gang. See ya!

Shad Fishermen Have 8th Outdoor Adventures Program

Dale Ott points out the good and bad in a skit about ethics with one of the students.
John Mauser led a program on insects that are not commonly known.
Dave Simon instructed how to properly get into a canoe.
Eighty youngsters, aged 8 to 15, on Saturday participated in the eighth annual Outdoor Adventures, sponsored by the Delaware River Shad Fishermen’s Association. Dave Carl led the event at Blue Mountain Fish & Game in Danielsville. The boys and girls alternately went to ten stations on the sportsmen’s club grounds, getting information and participating in hands-on events that included: fishing, canoeing, reptiles, aquatics, knot tying, casting, plant and tree identification, archery, ethics, and a mystery station on ani-
mal furs and tracks. The adventures went on from morning to late afternoon. Blue Mountain F&G’s lake was the scene of fishing and canoeing. At the latter volunteers from the National Canoe Safety Patrol taught the youngsters that they have to wear personal flotation devices (vests) whenever going out in the water, and to kneel down as they place their paddle as they enter the canoes. A member of the unit, which patrols the upper Delaware River, said 17 persons drowned in Pa. last year in boating accidents be-

cause they weren’t wearing their PFD’s. John Mauser of the Hokendauqua Chapter of Trout Unlimited showed insect creatures called macroinvertebrates, and the children were able to touch them. Dale Ott and Dale Steventon led a program on ethics that they said are essential when hunting and fishing. The youngsters learned about respect, responsibility, being lawful, careful and safe, courteous to others, and being involved and knowledgeable. Skits that were put on brought out these points, especially adhering to regulations that limit the amount of trout caught and the dangers of carrying or shooting loaded guns out of cars. Volunteers from Blue Mountain Fish & Game and other sportsmen’s organizations served as mentors for the children. Norman Graver served as announcer as the children went from station to station at designated intervals. Carl told the parents of the upcoming Northampton County Jr. Conservation School, and the lessons that last a lifetime. Judi Riegel was present to take applications. Thanks was expressed to Indian Creek Farm, Danielsville, a supporter of the DRSFA program since the beginning, and to Walnutport Subway for the noon time lunch that was provided for well over 100 persons at the club.

Stanglein Veterinary Clinic:
Celebrating 30 years of compassionate animal care Stanglein Veterinary Clinic was started by Drs. Oplinger and Rothrock in the 1950s. Dr. Terry Stanglein purchased the practice in 1984. Since that time, the clinic has experienced significant growth in space, staff, and medicine advancements. A large renovation took place on the original building seven years ago. This helped expand parking, enhance client growth, and add progressive medicine. These services include digital radiology, wellness exams, vaccinations, microchipping, updated surgery suites, and a rehabilitation program. The rehabilitation department provides cold laser therapy, floor exercises, and an underwater treadmill. The staff is committed to improving your pet’s quality of life. The practice now accommodates five doctors, including Dr. Terry’s son, Dr. Nate Stanglein, who has joined the team within the last year. The other members include Dr. Lucy, Dr. Laura, and Dr. Dan, as well as a large support staff of 35. They look forward to the future of veterinary medicine. The staff continues to support the community with participation in several community events, among them Paw Prints on the Canal, food drives for the Lehigh Valley Animal Food Bank, and Dog Days at the Park at CocaCola Park.

Northampton students read D.A.R.E. Essays at council meeting, need for Handicapped parking discussed By JANA BOSKEY
For over 12 years Northampton Police Chief Ronald Morey has led the D.A.R.E. Program at the district. This year there were 167 6th grade students who graduated from the program. Four of the nine essay winner were invited to read their essays about the program to council at the meeting on June 19. Sebastian Rosario, Angelina Hawk, Alyssa Glass and Alex Tews each took their turn at the microphone reading what they learned in the program. The main function of D.A.R.E. is to humanize police officers so children will go to them if there is ever a problem. After the readings, the students were given plaques for their essays. A citizen of Northampton, Becky Tait, returned to the Borough Meeting to bring up the discussion of acquiring a handicapped parking spot outside of her house. She had previously attended the meeting on May 15 to dis-
cuss up her plight, and was told that the problem would be bounced around and they would get back to her. Ultimately, the borough was unable to grant Tait her requested parking spot because of a law only allowing two handicap spots per block. There are already two on block Tait resides on. Tait mentioned a possible exception being made for her, but Council President John Yurish said that the Chief of Police has denied the exception because she owns a garage. Having a garage on a property exempts the homeowner from receiving a handicapped spot. Northampton resident, Diane Groller, then addressed a similar parking situation. Groller came with paperwork to also ask for a handicapped parking spot for her mother, whom she has taken in due to her failing health and inability to get around on her own. She discloses she was also told no because of the garage situation, and also

because her mother does not have a car. Councilmen Yurish confirms that Groller is ineligible and states that “they are not singling her out and she isn't the only one they are denying.” Borough Manager Gene Zarayko mentions the approval of a handicapped parking zone being implemented on Main Street on the 15th Street side. “There are just too many requests,” Zarayko said. Including the newly introduced parking zone on Main Street, there have been three requests in less than a month for handicapped parking. The growing need for handicapped parking is becoming apparent. Street parking seems to be the main issue. Or, as Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski Sr. jokingly offers: “people are just living longer.”

Pa. Turnpike becomes an official Blue Star Highway Submitted by RENEE VID COLBORN The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) is proud to announce that the entire Turnpike system is now a dedicated Blue Star Highway. The dedication means the Pa. Turnpike has visible markers along the entire system honoring the U.S. armed forces. The markers, which can be found in the garden area at all 17 service plazas along the Turnpike, are part of a program started by the National Council of State Garden Clubs, now known as National Garden Clubs Inc., after World War II to honor service men and women. The official dedication ceremony took place at Highspire Service Plaza located in Dauphin County at milepost 249 eastbound on the Pa. Turnpike.

Dear Nazareth, I love this weather! My work schedule has relaxed a bit and I am ready to play in my garden! There are so many roadside stands popping up along the main roads I travel on. I made a stop near Kutztown and bought some flowers to plant to add some color to my yard from a young Amish girl. Petunias, daisies, alyssum, geraniums, and a few marigolds to plant around my three “Mama Mia” tomatoes. Sunhat in hand, #30 SPF protection, bug spray, water bottle, kneeling pad, gardening trowel, and cute gardening gloves. I’m looking serious and ready for the adventure!

fence” opinions, corrections, and short cuts. I did listen to one of his suggestions and made a run to the Northampton Farm Bureau in Tatamy (300 Bushkill St.). They have an organic fertilizer product called Earth Works that is easy to use and good for lawn and garden. After I used my neighbor’s spreader and successfully distributed it I noticed an interesting odor. Looking on the brown bag, and checking the ingredients I realized I just spread “poultry digest” over my entire 4025 square feet of property! Sheepishly I look around. No neighbors in sight! They will never know where the odor is blowing in from! Have you been to Dutch Springs/NorthStar Adventures located in Bethlehem (4733 Hanoverville Rd.)? It’s on a beautiful lake with a picnic and camping area. I was invited to a birthday party that was being celebrated at their Aqua Park! Dutch Springs offers scuba diving, snorkeling, rock climbing & the Sky Challenge. The water park is more my speed especially with a water trampoline and the relaxed floating on the paddleboats! This is a great way to change up your summer, and I agree with this Dutch Springs quote, “A little more adventure... A little more extreme... above and below the sur-
face!” Unexpected company was arriving from Texas and they didn’t want to be an “inconvenience” by staying with me, and also they were looking forward to spending some “down time” in my new hometown. Tina Smith from the Nazareth/Bath Area Chamber of Commerce (201 N. Main St.) suggested calling Irene Sokolowski who owns the Classic Victorian Estate Inn- Bed & Breakfast in Nazareth (35 N. New St.). What a lovely home and beautiful accommodations! Their room had a 4-poster bed and a private bath. The china place settings for breakfast made them feel so special and they raved about the tasty breakfast and delicious coffee! This home has a large, ornate stained glass window, bird and butterflyfilled garden, and a wraparound porch. My company spent their mornings on this porch reading the local news. “The 2014 Guide to Historic Nazareth, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas”, gave them directions to the C.F. Martin Guitar Company (510 Sycamore St.). It was close enough to walk and arrive in time for a guided tour which started in the lobby of the Martin Guitar Visitors Center and also the entrance to the museum. There is also The 1833 Gift Shop and a gallery wall of famous Martin owners. The guests are invited to visit the “Pickin’ Parlor” to play some of Martin’s high-end and Limited Edition models.

displays showcase over 170 crafted guitars that reflect Martin Guitar’s 181 year history. The tour was free and was about 45 minutes long, just the right thing to do to enjoy some of Nazareth’s history. The next day my guests visited the Whitefield House Museum of the Moravian Historical Society (214 E. Center St.) They learned that this small group of Moravian people came to America and made settlements in Nazareth and Bethlehem, as missionaries for the American Indian and the new settlers in 1740. This stately building was home to the Moravians and now has a large collection of artifacts, art, and architecture related to Moravian history. The oldest known American made violin is also on display. I had my company come over for a cook-out last night and of course wanted to show off my gardening. We had BBQ chicken, but I was ready to change the menu over to rabbit!!! All my petunias, daisies, and (what I can find that might look like) alyssum have been eaten down to the ground!! There is a chubby bunny that looks very pleased with himself! All that time, money, and diggin’ around! Can you tell I’m mad?! Well here comes my informative neighbor. He has a suggestion that is another “organic” solution. So I got my old Waring blender and put in two cups of water, a hot jalapeno pepper, fresh clove of garlic, small onion, and hot chili powder, plus a little Ivory soap. Whipped it up, put it in a spray bottle, and sprayed it on all my new plants! Well the flowers look beautiful...but now my yard smells like “salsa!” I look around. No neighbors in sight. Hopefully they will never guess where the tangy fragrance is coming from! Sssshhhhhh.....!

News Sermonette Reverend Eric S. Ritz, Pastor Grace UMC
The Past As Dynamite The late Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote a most illuminating novel entitled ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE. With words he describes an old village where all of its citizens become infected with a mysterious disease. The initial symptom is the inability of the villagers to sleep. A more critical symptom appears when the citizens lose their memory. Soon the citizens of the village cannot recall any past events. The meaning of even the simplest things escapes them. Even their sense of identity is erased from their consciousness and memory. One villager conceives a way to prevent the loss of memory. He writes the names of things on pieces of paper and pastes them on the objects in order to recall what they are. All of the people begin doing it in their homes and finally the whole village is marked: table, clock, door, bed, toothbrush, money, knife, water faucet. Animals, flowers and trees are also identified in this way: cow, goat, banana tree, orchid flower. But what happens when things will be recognized by the label – but no one will remember what they are for? So the labels are made more explicit: “This is a cow. She must be milked every morning so that she will produce milk and the milk must be boiled on the stove in order to be mixed with coffee to make coffee and milk.” At the beginning of the road into the town the villagers put up a sign that said: “This is your town, Macondo.” And another prominent sign on the main street announced, “God exists!” But some of the people realized that the time would eventually come when they would not be able to remember the meaning of the written letters on the labels – and they would be forever lost. Then one day along the road from the swamp a strangelooking old man with a bell appears, carrying a bulging suitcase and pulling a cart covered with a black cloth. When the stranger discovers that the town is suffering from the plagues of insomnia and amnesia, he produces a vial of secret potion and soon cures the town of its condition. People can sleep again – memory returns to them – life becomes meaningful again and people look forward to tomorrow with hope. What a powerful story for us to reflect on as we celebrate the 238th anniversary of our own nation. Do you think this story reflects our own national struggle and identity crisis that we see played out in every town and city? Have we lost our way and forgotten our identity as a people? Has another deadly sickness entered the bloodstream of our national and spiritual DNA? The late Erik Eriksson once wrote: “If you don’t have an identity – someone or something will gladly give you one.” As the people of God are about to enter the Promised Land in Deuteronomy 8:1-11, God warns them about three viruses that would destroy them and take away their memory and identity. These viruses were the peril of prosperity, neglecting to teach their children, and a self-sufficient attitude. Perhaps some remember the famous comedy skit by Abbott and Costello “Who’s on First?” Unfortunately this attitude produces a tragedy where nobody is laughing. When we forfeit our bedrock foundation of faith in God and allow something or someone else first place in our lives – it is not that we don’t believe – but that we believe in the wrong things and in everything. Norman Cousins reminds us – “History is a vast warning system.” I always have had a profound dislike for digital watches. A digital watch only tells us what time it is now. While it describes the present moment in exact numbers, it leaves out the past and the future all together. While the past defers to the present moment and to the future, it refuses to be discarded. We must not lose our identity as a nation. Emperors and monarchs of every age have understood that people who are detached, rootless and robbed of their past are much more easily managed and controlled than people who have names, stories, and a home. We modern-day Americans have the mistaken assumption that our ancestors have nothing to teach us and no wisdom to shed on our path. The distinguished historian David McCullough correctly shares that “We need history as much as we need bread, water, or love.” In the biblical Book of Judges there is an account of a pagan General by the name of Sisera who waged war against the nation of Israel. From the 20th verse on the 5th chapter these words are shared, “From the heavens, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.” Hanson Baldwin was for many years the military analyst for the New York Times. He covered the Second World War. He shared there were 29 times in this conflict when the forces of Hitler and Nazism could have won that war by the right military strategy. But, they did not. He wrote, “It was as though God leaned over the ramparts of heaven and said, ‘I won’t let you.’” Yes,“From the heavens, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.” So as we soon approach the 4th of July and rightly celebrate our democracy and religious freedoms – there are some things that we must not ever forget! The crisis in American life in 2014 is not a lack of money. It is not a lack of government. The crisis is that we have left first base open – and a deadly virus has caused us to lose the identity of who we are – and whose we are. Gratefully, God has given us a book that reminds us of our unique identity and special heritage. This book will always restore our memory and prevent any further outbreaks of amnesia. This is why the past always has a dynamic dimension to share with the present and future.

Farmers couldn’t do Their jobs without Modern machinery Submitted by JOHN BERRY It has been said that the
conquest of hunger began with
the invention of the plow. One of the most important things farmers own is farm machinery, especially their tractors. Virtually every phase of mechanized agriculture depends on tractor power. The word tractor was not generally known until it appeared in a manufacturer’s advertisement in 1906 as a shortened version of “gasoline traction engine.” Today’s tractors have come a long way, and their importance hasn’t diminished. In fact, modern-day tractors have added technological features that enable farmers to work their land more efficiently. Many farmers use GPS technology to help them plant and fertilize crops. They can pinpoint exactly which areas of a field need water or fertilizer, and then they can program the equipment to treat those portions of the field exclusively. This enables farmers to be better stewards of the land, using a minimal amount of applications on their crops instead of treating an entire parcel of land. Tractors are the workhorses of the farm. They are used for towing equipment such as hay mowers, balers, wagons, plows and forage harvesters. Tractors also are designed to power other equipment through a rotating power take off shaft (PTO.) Equipment like hay balers receive their power through the tractor’s PTO. Most farmers have multiple tractors that they use for different tasks. Newer models with air-conditioned cabs and satellite technology are used for major field work. But older tractors often are used to transport wagons between fields and barns. Farm equipment does not come cheap. Tractors — depending on their size — often cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. For example, combines used to harvest grain crops typically sell for as much as $400,000. A field cultivator, which mixes soil and helps kill weeds while
June 26-July 2, 2014 13 still leaving plant material on the ground to prevent soil erosion, can easily run in excess of $30,000 to purchase. The risks of modern food production make me glad we have a dedicated bunch of farmers willing and able to feed themselves, me, and several others across our world. We are truly fortunate for the food access and food safety we all enjoy. Food production has certainly come a long way! 10,000 B.C. Farming and the domestication of animals leads to the change from hunter-gatherer societies to the development of the first permanent civilizations along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is now Iraq. 1701 Jethro Tull introduces the seed drill allowing more efficient planting of cereal crops. 1834 The McCormick mechanical reaper is patented, allowing farmers to harvest grain more efficiently. 1862-1875 This time frame encompasses the change from hand-power to horse-power and represents the first American agricultural revolution. 1940 One farmer, on average, produces enough food for about 11 people. 1945-1970 In this time frame the change from horses to tractors and expanded technology characterize the second American agricultural revolution. 1954 The number of tractors on farms exceeds the number of horses and mules for the first time. 1970 One farmer, on average, produces enough food to feed 48 people. 2014 One farmer, on average, produces enough food for about 155 people.

Letters from our Readers Amused By Previous Letter To the Editor: It was with interest and bemusement that I read Betty Fields’ letter regarding the memorial service at the Bath Legion Post. I applaud the notion that we all should take the time to remember the sacrifices that Memorial Day honors in whatever way we can, wherever we can. What I found bewildering, however, was her statement that she, Bob & Diana Fields, Gigi Kahler, and – at one time, Bill Fields - were the “only” citizens who have attended the Memorial Day weekend ceremonies at American Legion Post #470 for the past 25 years or more. Some years ago, the remarks at the ceremony were given by the Hon. Edward G. Smith, a colleague, distinguished jurist, and respected veteran. My wife and I, along with six members of our family who were at our Bath home for a picnic that Sunday, stood with pride and listened to Judge Smith. My sister even commented to her then two young children that this was what hometown America was all about. Boy is my face red – I thought I was a member of American Legion Post #470, I thought my wife and I were residents of Bath, and I thought my family and all those others in attendance that day were citizens – but I guess I was wrong?
