Market manager Sarah Fulton presents a dish of paella.

by KERI LINDENMUTH On Thursday, June 20, the Paw Prints on the Canal organizers presented the Northampton Borough Police Department K9 Unit with $10,340.05. The funds were raised during the 11th Annual Paw Prints on the Canal event, which was held on Sunday, June 2 at Canal Street Park.

The check was presented to Officer Michael Buchanan of the K9 unit by event organizers

Candi Lynn, Julia Glick, and Tom Glick.

“Our growth has extremely shown this year,” they said, “… with over 155 vendors who attended to support our cause and promote all that they do.”

“We really outdid it,” added Lynn.

Organizers estimated that about 3,000 people were in attendance, along with 1,500 dogs.

The funds raised in 2019 were a 25 percent increase over the

funds raised in 2018 and a 417 percent increase over the funds raised during the event’s inaugural year in 2009. Roughly $57,320 has been raised in total.

“Not a lot of businesses can pull this off,” said Tom Glick.

Council praised the event and its organizers.

“Hats off to your entire organization,” said Councilman Robert McHale. “[It is] a pedestal of what volunteerism is all about.”

Letter to the Editor What is happening To this nice little Town of Bath?

Here I go again. My name is Harvey Haupt and I am a life long resident of Bath. By the way before I go into this next article,

No Fee or Cost Unless Recovery Made

I forgot to mention this in my last message about that premium grade A+ rock salt. The manager stated, “Should you fail to pay the invoice of $162.49, in accordance to Section 342-4, you will be issued a citation and must appear before a magisterial district judge and will be fined $1000.” Can you believe that? Here’s a guy that I can say is my employee because part of my tax money and yours, pays his salary and he is not even a resident of the Bath Borough.

Come see what’s fresh this week at Bath Fa r m e rs ’ Market!

If we would do that to our employer, the door would hit us on our backside or you would be on the outside looking in. Then on our Bath Borough stationary is our logo friendship tree with “Bath History Nestled With Friendship” on the bottom. Give me a break! Like Charlie Brown’s lyric, “Why yous always pickin’ on me?”

So now on Feb. 26, 2019, he mails to most of Bath Borough property owners a letter in regards to 2019 Borough Road Plan Update. He states in the first paragraph of page two that the street is being considered a private drive and it is not approved as a street.

If that is true, why did he take it upon himself to put premium grade A+ rock salt on my ice? I still did not have anyone claim a

medical bill or an auto repair bill because of the ice to this day.

This is in reference to my handicapped parking renewal. Our Borough Manager wants to know if I am still handicapped and if my handicapped parking space is still being utilized. In April 2003, I filed for a handicapped parking space in front of my house, which was approved and I paid $25 for the handicapped sign.

Now he states that I no longer use the space for handicapped purposes and vehicles without handicapped placards or disabled person license plates are using the space instead. That is not true. Is it illegal when my daughter, son-in-law, one of my three grandsons, or a veteran from the Legion park there to pick me up for doctor appointments, grocery

shopping, taking me to the VA, or the American Legion once a week to play cards? Really, give me a break! Then he also stated that my permit for the handicapped space expired in March 2008. That is not true I don’t know where he gets his information from, I always sent in my renewal every five years. In fact my placard #P37399U expiration date is March 20, 2023. Is that expired? Then he stated in regulation item #6, Borough of Bath reviews on an annual basis based on the continued need. That is not true, it never got carried out. This is the first notice I ever received since 2003. That is 16 years ago!

can’t use it, why have it? Must I cross the street to get in and out of the car?

Now I have to call all my doctors, primary care physician, cardiologist, nephrologist, endocrinologist, urologist, and my VA doctor and have them provide reasons in writing explaining that I am still disabled. I don’t know of anyone who was disabled that came back to his or her original physical state of not being disabled. I wish that would happen to me. Perhaps I could go fishing and work in my workshop again.

I still have my handicapped sign!

As Paul Kahler (the “P-A-K” from Bath, PA) would say, “God Bless Him!” He never did anything like this guy.

You know the more I stew over this, I am beginning to believe that the Borough Council does not have enough work to keep him busy 40 hours a week.

Where here in this little town we have three traffic lights, less than

five miles of streets because we have four state highways (Rt 512, 248, 987 and State Rd. #3020, which is Main Street) going to and from Bath east to Newburg.

And then to think he has free time to sit and police my handicapped parking place and record who has a handicapped license plate or a handicapped placard on their dash board or exposed in the windshield area.

Is he the new Chief of Police of Bath Borough? I thought the Pennsylvania State Police got the job. Now this gives me another thought. When the Borough

June 27-July 3, 2019 3

Manager gives his monthly report to the Borough Council, why isn’t a copy of that given to our local Home News newspaper, so the residents of Bath have an idea of what is being done in our Borough? Leroy Brobst, the Northampton Borough Manager, has a weekly report of what is happening in Northampton, either Boro News or Police Report.

Have a good day!

Grow UR Biz Confidence Is silent, Insecurities Are loud

I recently saw a post on facebook, “Confidence is silent, insecurities are loud.” This could not be truer. Do you know that person who, when you are in a conversation with them and it turns to a disagreement, gets louder and louder and louder in order to overpower everyone in the room and make their point (whether valid or not, just the loudest)?

Years ago I was traveling with family in New York. On the way home we stopped in a quaint little village of shops. It was a bright, sunny day with white glistening snow everywhere. The children were sliding down the street playfully enjoying the snow. Some kid, who was not with us, picked up a snowball and threw it at one of my kids. The snowball missed and hit the front door of a store.

The owner ran out of the store, started screaming at my 10 year old for throwing the snowball. I

by CAROL RITTER

couldn’t believe it. He was running away from the kid who was doing the toss. I asked my 10 year old to stay outside and I followed her back in the store. I asked, “Did that make you feel good about yourself, yelling at my son who did absolutely nothing wrong?” She burst into tears and began telling me how worthless she was and how her marriage was falling apart, blah-blah-blah.

I said, “You owe him an apology.”

After she pulled herself together, she apologized. Her insecurities took over her life and she punished a 10-year-old little boy.

So, how do we deal with insecure people?

If their response turns into harassment, you may need to call in the boss.

You can create boundaries for their behavior.

You may want to walk away.

Forgive the past.

Try to rebuild trust.

By the way, the snowball did not damage the door at all. Lesson learned…when someone allows their insecurities to get so bad that they harass someone else, take action immediately. Be pro-active, not reactive.

A scam targeting seniors and people with disabilities who receive rebates through the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) Program is making the rounds.

The scam consists of unsolicited telephone calls from a Department of Revenue "employee," claiming the recipient's application for the PTRR program has been approved. The caller then asks if the recipient would like the rebate directly deposited into a bank account, which prompts a request from the caller for the recipient's banking information.

The Department of Revenue does not collect applicant's banking information over the phone.

Applicants are required to submit their bank account information on their application forms in order to receive their rebates through direct deposit.

The department does contact applicants via automated calls to confirm their information has been received and approved. If the department needs more information about an individual's application, it sends a letter through the mail.

Do not give out personal information over the phone to unsolicited callers, even if the caller claims to be from the Department of Revenue, the IRS or your bank.

If you received one of these scam calls and provided your banking information or other personal information, immediately call your bank to report this potential fraud.

Stories From My Heart

by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca The White Stove

Yesterday, I made a pot of potato soup just like my mother used to make. As I cut the potatoes and onions, my mind drifted back to my childhood and winters on the farm.

Although Mom was a very good cook, this memory is not about her delicious meals. It is about a stove that stood on the left side of two large doors that hid the old fireplace. The stove was close to a window with a green shade and a black coal bucket, which was always filled with small nuggets ready to be shoveled into the side that warmed our kitchen.

The stove was white, with four gas burners on the right side and a combination woodand- coal stove with cast-iron lids on the left. The lids had an indentation big enough to hold a handle that hung on a nail close by. In the winter, those lids were lifted many times during the day and even during the night, depending on the outside temperature.

The white stove was our main source of heat.

Since we did not have an indoor bathroom, we bathed in the kitchen. Mom would fill a large round gray metal tub with hot water. She would always make sure the kitchen was warm, and then each one of us would take our baths. When we were finished, Mom would wash our hair at the kitchen sink. The white stove worked hard on those cold nights.

www.HomeNewsPA.com In the winter, when Dad worked an afternoon shift, Mom would make us a special treat on the lids of the white stove. First, she would peel potatoes and then slice them very thin and lightly salt them.

Next, Mom would clean the lids, rub a little lard on them, and then arrange the potatoes on top. We would get so excited watching those potatoes slices sizzle. Those potatoes were black around the edges but oh, so delicious.

Mom always canned vegetables from our garden and fruit from our small orchard.

One summer sticks out in my mind. It was the summer that Mom canned seven hundred jars! My sweet mother not only thought of us but of her many brothers and sisters who might need a little extra help. I have a funny feeling the white stove gave a sigh of relief after that experience!

I seemed to have forgotten the part of the stove that also worked extremely hard: the oven. Mom would often make her own bread, which smelled heavenly when we came in from school. There is nothing better that a piece of hot bread slathered with butter.

When I was seventeen, we moved away. As I took my last walk through the empty house, I stood and admired the white stove where my mother worked so hard for all of us. I could see my father cleaning out the box that held the cinders, and I could visualize each of them carrying the bucket of coal that helped to keep us warm. Although life on the farm was not always easy, it was a life that taught me to be grateful, and for that I am truly blessed.

Gab over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip

There’s supposed to be a lot of clouds around here this week.

And pretty warm, too. We’ll see.

Just so we don’t get big thunderstorms like we had a couple weeks ago. . . . .I hear Ed Pany got over a thousand hits on The Home News Facebook for his column Looking Back. It seems people are really interested in the history of Bath and the Siegfried log cabin which still stands on W. Main Street. Ed will have more on Bath next week. He was in town last week for breakfast at the Town & Country with fellow ex-teachers like Gordon Bartholomew and wife Ann, Ray Groff and wife, and all the other former teachers, about a dozen in all who come almost weekly for breakfast together. . . .It was good to see Willard Stratz up North recently for a visit from the South. . . .My power went out on Sunday, and for a lot of others in Bath and Nazareth.

I don’t know the cause. I wish Met-Ed could solve the problem.

It happens too often, and shuts down my computer right in the middle of me writing something. . . .Those Phillies are in trouble, losing seven straight games as of Monday, three in a row to the lowly Marlins who are in last place in the NL East division .

If the Phillies don’t start winning again they’ll replace the Marlins in the cellar . . .My condolences to the family of Bob Kucsan, a former Lower Nazareth Supervisor, who passed away last Friday, the first day of summer. . . . I hope I don’t have words misspelled. I lost my glasses and I can’t see the letters on my computer, and doing it mostly from memory with less powerful replacement glasses. . . .The Bath Farmers’ Market is doing new things this year -- even serving dinners now. . . . I see the graduates did well. You can tell by how many were on the dean’s lists. Same for the NHS Middle School who were on the honor roll. Keep it up, kids, when you return from vacation! . . . .If you ever wondered who names some businesses with a Who’s Who award, it’s Innovative Designs & Publishing, owner of this paper.

www.HomeNewsPA.com

Deiter Bros. Propane was the latest to be named. . . .Elmira’s calling me for supper, so I gotta go.

Have a nice week.

BLUE MOUNTAIN

JUNE 15

Police Reports Assault, bodily injury On June 2 an assault was reported at Old Forge Drive in the Bath Borough. Upon thorough investigation, it was determined that juveniles were playing around and there was no intent to hurt the victim.

Stolen Smartphone In the commission of this crime, an unknown actor(s) took illegal possession of a black Moto E5 displaying serial #256691539604495683 out of room 359 at Knights Inn.

by DAWN DUDECK TUNNEY On Saturday, June 22, the Northampton Historical Society presented “Businesses of a Bygone Era,” a program featuring the founders of the city's industry as well as landmark local businesses whose contributions to the economy and community were important factors in the growing town. The lecture was held at the Municipal Building located at 1401 Laubach Ave., which is also the home of the Atlas Museum.

Larry Oberly, local historian and Vice-president of the society, gave a fascinating account of what Northampton's commercial and physical landscapes looked like from the turn of the century to the present day. The lecture included photographs of the original buildings as well as current images, giving the audience a glimpse of Northampton's past and present. To date, 306 businesses of Stemton and the third ward have been identified.

Oberly began the narrative at the turn of the 19th century when brothers George and William Stem relocated to the east side of the Lehigh River and founded the village of Stemton, where the third ward is located.

The brothers moved in order to create the Lehigh Car Manufacturing Company, which made Gondola Rail Cars to haul coal on the Lehigh and Susquehanna

NORTHAMPTON AREA

By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Borough of Northampton’s council meeting on Thursday, June 20, members of Northampton Borough VFW Post 4714 urged council to reconsider a decision that rejected a zoning use change of their social hall. Jonathan Wolfel, Senior Vice Commander of the Main Street post, spoke on behalf of the post and its members.

He said that costly building repairs, a loss of membership, and a lack of volunteers have rendered the organization unable to sustain

itself. The VFW hoped to sell the post’s headquarters and use the proceeds from the sale to continue operations.

“We struggled to make the place what it is today…but we are running out of gas,” he said.

Two offers fell through, but a third offer from ABRA Development proved successful. ABRA Development had a tenant lined up for the building, a catering and pierogi business. The tenant agreed to cover the costs of the VFW and allow the organization to continue operating in the

building.

“We were elated,” said Wolfel.

“We could continue the post and have a new business in town.”

However, the business would require a change in zoning use: from social hall to food processor.

On June 13, the Zoning Hearing Board heard the argument for changing the use. Council sent its legal professionals to speak against the change and the Zoning Hearing Board denied the request.

Wolfel told council he was upset that the VFW or the tenant could not give testimony. He said that plenty of businesses produce pierogies, pies, and other foods without issue.

“The decision was predetermined,” he told council. “This was all about the purchaser of the building…Abe Atiyeh.”

Wolfel informed council that Atiyeh will still be purchasing the building, the only difference being the tenant and the fact that a new tenant will not be as generous as the previous one, leaving the VFW without a home.

“Military items must be removed and sold,” he said, through tears. “Flags will be lowered and never raised again.”

“The VFW did its best to work within the borough…all of which would have continued if the variance would have been approved,” he continued. “No home. No post.”

Wolfel asked the council to reconsider the hearing board’s decision, which would require an appeal.

“At least you know what you are going to get,” he said.

By the meeting’s end, council did not state whether they would pursue Wolfel’s request. Instead, they went into a private executive session.

She Was Searching…

On the outskirts of Uruguay’s capital, Montevideo, Maria overdosed on painkillers. Moments later, medical personnel rushed her to a hospital where she was resuscitated.

Angry that her suicide attempt failed, Maria fled from the hospital with a new plan to kill herself. As she ran, she encountered an Assemblies of God street evangelism outreach where she heard the message of salvation and accepted Jesus as her Savior. When frantic family members and the police found her in the outreach tent, they told her it was time to leave. “No, I am not leaving this place,” she responded. “I have found what I was searching for.”

Are you, like Maria, searching? The Bible tells us that God, our Creator, has placed within us a deep longing for Himself, “For thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” (Revelation 4:11). The Bible also tells us that only God can satisfy our longing souls! “For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9). See more on spiritual thirst at www.naog.ws/thirsty.htm Like Maria, many are searching for something to satisfy—riches, material possessions, sexual encounters, alcohol, drugs, etc., but these things will never fulfill and satisfy our spiritually hungry souls! Those who turn from their sins to Jesus Christ find that He satisfies! Jesus is the only Way (see www.naog.ws/theway.htm) to God! In our services we often sing, “Hallelujah! I have found Him, Whom my soul so long has craved! Jesus satisfies my longings; thro’ His blood I now am saved.”

I invite you to attend any of our services and let us pray with you and help you to accept Jesus as your Savior. Then you, like Maria, will be able to say, “I have found what I was searching for!”

ance when it merged with two neighboring villages, Siegfried and Newport. Due to the rapid growth after the arrival of the Atlas and Lawrence Portland Cement companies, the US Census in 1900 said the three villages could combine their populations and apply for status as a Borough under Pennsylvania Law. The name of the new community was changed to Northampton in 1909 when a twist of fate sent recycled cloth cement bags to the wrong city with the same name of Alliance.

Some of the area’s original prominent businesses were Atlas Cement, which inspired the name of the high school’s “Konkrete

Kids,” and the Nor-Bath Railroad, which was the first railroad to convert to all diesel engines.

Atlas was the largest cement plant in the world at that time. One of its most notable contributions to history was that it supplied eight million barrels of cement to the construction of the Panama Canal.

The discussion was heightened by life-long residents of the city, who gave their own accounts of what they had witnessed over the past 50 years. Mr. Oberly enthusiastically welcomed the audience's participation, at times adding facts to his own notes which were recorded by his partner and wife.

The society began researching this project almost four years ago using advertisements in old football and church programs, newspapers and census records.

The Northampton Historical Society is located at the corner of West 21st and Canal Streets in Northampton.

The final program in this Businesses of a Bygone Era series will be on the fourth ward, scheduled for October 19.
