Rockefeller Public Hearing Expected In Early August By JUSTIN SWEITZER East Allen Township supervisors narrowed in on finalizing a date for Rockefeller Group Development Corporation’s public rezoning hearing at their June 22 meeting, after the developer’s previously scheduled hearing was postponed. The group, commonly referred to as Rock Lehigh Valley, had their May 10 hearing rescheduled after the township’s municipal building was unable to accommodate the mass amount of residents in attendance. The land in question is 155
acres southwest of Weaversville Road, which Rock Lehigh Valley is attempting to get rezoned from agricultural to light industrial. Township Manager Deborah Seiple tentatively rescheduled the hearing for August 16 at 7 p.m. in Northampton Area High School, but the board announced their intention to try and move the hearing sooner to make sure all supervisors will be able to attend. Supervisor Mark Schwartz said he would prefer to have all Continued on page 5

Bartholomew Funeral Home - Six Generations Of Business in Bath By CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN In this day and age, local businesses seem to come and go in the blink of an eye. The Bartholomew Funeral Home is a remarkable exception - six generations of business right here in Bath, and the Bath Museum has the documents to prove it. The museum is very fortunate to have several signs from businesses in the 1800s - a very hot commodity in today's antique market. One is a five foot wooden sign which reads "Bartholomew Furniture Store." They also have two photos of Josiah Bartholomew standing in front of two different store locations, evidence the business had at least two other locations in town before moving to the present S. Walnut home. The one photo shows Josiah in front of 126 W. Main with "Bartholomew Undertakers" in the glass window on one side and "Bartholomew Furniture" in the glass window on
the other. The other photo shows four generations at a different location (S. Chestnut St.) with a sign in back which reads "J. Bartholomew, H.E. Bartholomew, Undertakers.” Continuing in the tradition of his family, Zee R.K. Bartholomew is the sixth generation funeral director of the Bartholomew family in the funeral business. The family roots run deep at the Bartholomew Funeral Home, which was started in 1853 by Josiah Bartholomew, who, at the age of 19, branched out into undertaking in connection with his cabinetmaker’s trade. Josiah, as a cabinetmaker, made the caskets for the business. As the generations passed, the business was carried on by James F. Bartholomew and, then, his son Harry E. Bartholomew, who, in 1935, purchased the Joseph Horner home at 243 S. Walnut St., where the present Continued on page 7

Summertime swimming
Almost every Sunday morning, Mother and I would start asking Daddy to take us to Danner’s Grove for swimming. First he would say “no,” then he would say “maybe.” In the meantime, I would start to play with my nextdoor neighbor friend and Mother would start some project. Around 1 or 2 p.m., Daddy would say, “Ok, get ready if you want to go swimming.” Wow, we were ready. Mother had secretly packed a meal for our supper, and I had my bathing suit on under my playsuit so we could be ready at a moment’s notice. We knew the answer would eventually be “okay” so we were always prepared. The water at Danner’s Grove pool was icy cold but it felt good on a hot and humid day. We found a space for our blanket and Mother and I went wading into the cold water. Daddy sat on a BLUE MOUNTAIN COMPOUNDING 484-287-6341
bench and talked with another man who also never went into the water. About 4:30 p.m. we would find a picnic table and we set our food for our meal. My mother often spoke of another pool called Topfers, which was a couple miles west of Danner’s. As a child she went swimming at Topfers, which was popular before Danner’s Grove. Later it was purchased by Joe Geider and named The Pink Cloud. His plan was for it to be a place for teenagers to gather and dance to the jukebox. A few years later Joe sold the property to Jolly Joe Timar and he had success with his polka dances and featuring polka bands from the area. I am unaware who owns it now. Oh the good old days.

Greetings Borough of Bath Residents,
The Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce would like to notify you of the Spuds & Suds Festival taking place on August 26 from noon to 7 p.m. in downtown Bath. This will include the closing of West Northampton Street (between Old Forge Road and Chestnut Street) and Chestnut Street (between Main Street and Northampton Street) – from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. No parking will be permitted in the festival area on August 26. The Borough will be posting temporary “No Parking” signs. Please make arrangements to park elsewhere if you live in the area and need your vehicle that day. Fireman’s Field will be available for festival parking, and it is also an alternative parking option for residents to use. The Spuds & Suds Festival will attract families from all over the Lehigh Valley to celebrate the history of potato farming in Bath. Potato dishes, local beer and vendors will be featured. We are currently seeking volunteers, vendors and other interested participants to help make the event a great success. We would like to see as many Bath area representatives as possible. We look forward to hearing from Bath residents to contribute to the success of the festival. If you have any questions in reference to the road closing, or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully, Renee Keiderling, Northern Tier Manager Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce 484-548-4090 Email reneek@lehighvalleychamber.org.

was 1200 to 2000 feet long, 300 to 500 feet wide and 250 feet deep. In 1929, 130 men were employed. They appeared as ants working in the depths of the quarry surrounded by an array of ropes, pulleys and steel cables. In 1935, quarry superintendent Owen Jones (uncle of Mr. Robert Jones) attempted to revive the quarry during the depression. He attempted to lower quarry costs. The company owned six diamond tooth-cutting saws. Each saw cost $6,000. Jones said experiments have been conducted in other quarries to find some cheaper sawing methods. The slate at Chapmans is hard grained and difficult to cut. Efforts to save the company founded in 1850 by William Chapman failed. The Chapman company closed on Friday, November 13, 1942. The following ad appeared in the Globe-Times in 1944: The following mineral lands and im-
proved real estate will be offered for sale at public auction by the Chapman Slate Company which is now dissolving and winding up its affairs. The land was in two parcels, one 35.9 acres, another 128.2 acres. Enough slate for 40 years in the highest-grade hard vein in the country. Also a threestory brick hotel on Front Street and a 17-room boarding house. The company’s offices were located at 546 Main Street in Bethlehem. The quarry was sold on October 27, 1944 to the ChapmanJones Corp. Mr. Owen Jones, the superintendent since 1928, was principal investor. Twenty-five slaters continued to produce slate until 1959. Mr. Jones had a large supply of slate and continued to sell slate to many customers hoping the operation would resume quarry production. Sadly, slate and the quarry remained silent and today are memories. Mr. Robert Jones, a wellknown local farmer and relative of Owen, purchased the quarries. They are presently owned by the Southmoore Golf Course.

Wolf Administration promotes Designated driving, highlights Awareness events, ahead of Independence Day holiday Submitted by SEAN BROWN The Wolf Administration, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the Pennsylvania State Police, and local police urge travelers across the state to designate a sober driver and buckle their seat belts through the Independence Day holiday weekend. Partnerships throughout the state look to decrease alcohol and drug-related crashes and fatalities, as well as aggressive driving behavior. "PennDOT is working closely with our partners in law enforcement to reduce impaired driving and raise safety awareness this holiday," Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. "Though Independence Day is a time for celebration, we urge Pennsylvanians to designate a sober driver and wear their seat belt throughout the coming weekend, and throughout the year. According to PennDOT data, last year there were 293 alcohol-related crashes resulting in eight fatalities from Friday, July 1, to Sunday, July 10. This marked a decrease from 2015, when there were 330 alcohol-related crashes and 11 fatalities from Friday, June 26, through Sunday, July 5, 2015. Also, during the holiday
period last year, there were 101 drug-related crashes and four fatalities in those crashes, compared to 99 drug-related crashes and four fatalities in 2015. Police this year will focus their enforcement efforts on distracted driving, aggressive driving, speeding, and impaired driving during the holiday period. PennDOT representatives will also hold media and community outreach events across the state. "We urge motorists to buckle up and use caution when traveling over the holiday," said State Police Commissioner Tyree C. Blocker. "Troopers will actively enforce traffic and DUI laws, so please obey the speed limit and don't get behind the wheel impaired. To ensure motorists get to their destinations safely, remember to keep distractions to a minimum while driving." As part of this high-visibility impaireddriving enforcement effort, the Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement will conduct checkpoints and roving patrols. This effort is funded through PennDOT's statewide distribution of more than $4.7 million from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Heirloom Illness
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
Part Two
Have you ever seen the 1976 movie “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble” in which John Travolta played a boy/young man who required a sterile living environment due to an immune system problem? That movie scared me to death. Along similar lines, within the last month or so I read about a woman who was found to actually be allergic to her husband (to which every woman is exclaiming, good for her…) and it is so severe that her husband created a sterile environment in one part of the house that he never enters at all. Essentially, a modern day woman in a bubble. If these individuals had children who had the same problem and then another generation of children that also had the same affliction, maybe even worse than their grandparents, wouldn’t you truly want to get to the root of the problem and stop it from again moving forward to the next generation? It only makes sense to say yes. I don’t think I am going too far out on a limb to assert that modern science/medicine has yet to reveal the true cause(s) of imbedded sickness and diseases that can be passed down from one generation to another that has nothing to do or very little to do with genetics. We seem to have accepted the minor “handed down” issues that appear harmless such as common family allergies or chemical sensitivities as well as other severe illness and disease states such as Alzheimer’s or goiters. In addition, what nobody is truthfully talking about is the fact that as generations go on, the sickness can become, and is, increasingly becoming more severe than the one prior. Maybe I am dead wrong but it just seems people are becoming sicker at a younger age.
If heirloom disease isn’t an allgenetic issue, what is it? In addition, could the true causes of these disorders actually intensify, mutate, concentrate, or dare I say, evolve based upon what particular scoundrel(s) is in question in each successive generation? It appears we have many more questions than answers but it doesn’t appear as if anyone is even asking the questions anymore. We have seemingly relegated ourselves to accepting that we are all getting sicker and sicker and creating new drugs to support our sickness rather than even make a good attempt to resolve the disease altogether. That approach is wearing thin. Not to be the one to say the sky is falling but for sake of brevity, if we keep simply giving fancy names to obvious symptoms and pretend that these symptoms are the disease we are going to have, in the next three generations by my guestimate, more sick people on earth than are healthy. Think healthcare costs are bad now? Have you ever heard about Pottenger’s cats? If you have been an avid reader all these many years then you know where I am going with this. Essentially, from 1932 to 1942, Dr. Francis Pottenger fed cats various types of food. Some groups of cats got more cooked items than another group that had more raw items. Not to belabor the point, Dr. Pottenger found that those cats that were fed poorly had, and not surprisingly, offspring that were
sicklier. As the next generations arrived they were even sicker, degenerating, high mortality, prone to parasitic infections, blind at birth, and a host of other things. By the fourth generation it looks as though fertility was an issue and death was pronounced. A web search and discussion on Pottenger’s cats tells the tale with even more concern: “By the end of the first generation the cats started to develop degenerative diseases and became quite lazy. By the end of the second generation, the cats had developed degenerative diseases by mid-life and started losing their coordination. By the end of the third generation the cats had developed degenerative diseases very early in life and some were born blind and weak and had a much shorter life span. Many of the third generation cats couldn't even produce offspring. There was an abundance of parasites and vermin while skin diseases and allergies increased from an incidence of five percent in normal cats to over 90 percent in the third generation of deficient cats. Kittens of the third generation did not survive six months. Bones became soft and pliable and the cats suffered from adverse personality changes. Males became docile while females became more aggressive. The cats suffered from most of the degenerative diseases encountered in human medicine and died out totally by the fourth generation.” In my mind, the first generation of ‘Pottenger’s humans’ begins with our ancestors coming into Ellis and Angel Islands. How many generations have been born since then? Three? Four? Maybe even five? Give this some thought. We will pick up next time.

supervisors in attendance for the hearing, and preferred to have the meeting on August 2, which is a date that Seiple is eyeing as she looks to reschedule. “I would prefer to have a full board,” Schwartz said. “I would prefer to have it on the second.” Though the board will not be full if the meeting does fall on the 16th, there will be enough supervisors for the board to have a quorum. Township Solicitor Joseph Piperato III told the board that they should be prepared for the hearing to stretch beyond the span of one meeting, due to the increased public interest in the topic. Residents should pay close attention to the township website for updates as the township gets nearer to scheduling a date for the hearing. In other business, following through on business left over from the board’s June 14 meeting, conditional use applicant Kenneth Beck signed a list of
June 29-July 5, 2017 5
conditions provided by Township Engineer James Milot and Piperato, allowing Beck to move forward with expanding his classic car restoration business in East Allen Township from his current Allentown location. In addition, Seiple detailed a new email communication system that will be implemented within the township in the future. The township will use the Constant Contact communication system to keep residents informed of township events and noteworthy information. Seiple said the township will build an email group of township residents to alert them of snow emergencies, burning restrictions and similar events. Seiple said the Constant Contact system “takes it a step further” in terms of the township’s communication with residents. She also said the email system is a cheaper and easier alternative to automated phone calls. The next East Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on July 12 at 7 p.m.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Summer’s now in full force and the weather is pretty good. Mostly sunny, some clouds and spotty showers. We’ll take it. Temperatures have been steady for swimmers and vacationers. . . .Parents of all those youngsters on the honor rolls at Northampton Middle School and Northampton High School must be mighty proud of how their sons and daughters are doing. No doubt it’s the same over in Nazareth at their schools. Congrats to all those students for keeping up with their studies, considering all the distractions that are out there in today’s world. Keep it up, kids, and if you’re into sports and doing well there, a big pat on your backs for that, too. . . . Main Street in town has been milled down. Could it be that it’s up for blacktop? Could it be! If so, that’s a big first step. . . .The NBA and NHL have had their drafts and it looked good for Philadelphia. They need all they can get in the City of Brotherly Love. I don’t know what the Phillies need. They have the IronPigs in Allentown, who are doing so good, but that’s Triple-A and that next step is so much tougher. . . .There’s plenty of bridges being replaced these days. Work just started on the small Rt. 512 bridge in Bushkill Township. It’s been cut down to one lane, so watch for the stop light, just north of Moorestown. The Northampton – Coplay bridge is closed altogether and there’s a long detour to get over the Lehigh River, going through Hokendauqua. And on Rt. 22, that’s a massive project that’s sure to take a while. It crosses the Lehigh, too, but thankfully no detour, also east on Rt. 22 at Rt. 33 North and Southbound overpass bridges being replaced. So motorists, just beware. . . . Racing fans, it’s the Daytona Coke 400 coming up. Earnhardt Jr. is retiring. I’d like to see him get a win as he bows out. . . And did you see Jordan Spieth’s playoff golf shot? 70 ft. away in the sand bunker and right into the hole that won it for him on Sunday! . . . .That should keep you up on sports. . . .Be sure to fly your American flags proudly next Tuesday. It’s the Fourth of July!! Enjoy your first big holiday of the summer and I hope that the sun will be shining wherever you are.

Errant driver Hit EMS Workers in Moore Twp.
by HOME NEWS STAFF Moore Township Police have charged a Walnutport woman with aggravated assault, aggravated assault while under the influence, driving under the influence of a controlled substance, and traffic charges. Tracy M. Thompson, 26, is free under $10,000 unsecured bail as the result of the incident on April 27 when police were called to a hit-and-run crash on Parkside Drive. Two EMS workers told police they were called to the parking lot of the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. because a woman identified as Ms. Thompson was “acting
out” as she sat in her car. While speaking to her, they saw her eyes were constricted and when they tried to talk with her, she swore at them, and drove off, hitting both of them. She was later stopped in a private driveway by Moore Twsp. Police Chief Gary West. West said she backed her car out of the driveway and hit his cruiser, causing minor damage. When he asked her if she was taking any medication, she said yes. Police found several prescription bottles in Ms. Thompson’s purse. A blood test determined marijuana was in her system.

of summer. It was held at site of present day’s Sacred Heart Church Picnic (Fehnel’s Field). Attractions included a Ferris wheel, food, games and entertainment. One night usually featured a special guest. I remember the appearance of Lee Dexter and his hand puppet “Bertie the Bunyip,” as seen on television aired from Philadelphia. The most peculiar event was the year of the man billed as being “buried alive.” They dug open a pit and lowered in a wooden box that resembled an oversized coffin. A hapless looking fellow climbed down into the box and lay down. They put a lid on the box and covered it over with a few feet of ground. A small airshaft extended from the lid to a few feet above ground level. For a fee, you could look down to see

his face and talk to him. The topside was guarded by a burly fellow wearing a large cowboy hat and a holstered six-gun strapped on his side. Police Chief Art Diehl checked his credentials to carry an open firearm. After a few days, the finale was the night they “dug him up” again. I stood in front of the crowd encircled around the pit. When they opened the lid, the crowd surged forward and I was nearly shoved into the hole. A few men helped him up and out of the box. With the rush of fresh air, he passed out momentarily, then revived to applause of the crowd, as two men steadied him to slowly walk away.

By CAROL RITTER Five years ago, Ellen Bennett was working as a line cook at two top Los Angeles restau-
rants, with dreams of becoming a chef. She loved the lightning pace of her jobs, but was struck by the disconnect between the appearance of the kitchen staff and the exquisite attention to detail that went into everything else at the acclaimed restau-
rants. "I was cooking and working crazy hours and thinking how are we doing this—making amazing food and yet everyone looks and feels terrible?" she recalls. "I wanted to improve things, radically.”

Bennett, then 25, asked one of her chef bosses if she could make him an apron, one with quality fabrics that had adjustable straps and lap pockets that didn't rip. He said yes, and when he ordered 40 more for his staff, Bennett suddenly found herself blazing a new career path and new company, Hedley & Bennett. Today, Hedley & Bennett's aprons are featured in about 4,000 restaurants around the world and sold at Whole Foods Market and Williams Sonoma. I was curious about her success, starting with the fact that she is a Millennial. I’m fascinated with Millennials because they are so different than the Baby Boomer entrepreneurs and are packedfull of unique and powerful ideas. Here we go.
10 Secrets to Ellen Bennett’s SUCCESS
1) She had a unique idea. 2) She was passionate about their idea.
www.HomeNewsPA.com
3) She understood her customer and future customer. 4) She produced a quality product. 5) She believed that she was successful because of hard work. 6) She looked for hard working, new employees. 7) She didn't rely on one form of marketing. 8) She got out of the office and met new people. 9) She was community driven. 10) She literally went door to door selling her product when she started. One more thing; Ellen started this business with $300 (self invested) and a personality overloaded with passion and desire. She also had a sense of urgency like no other, every day became “get up and go,” every day her actions reflected success and every single day she inspired her staff to do the same. How about you?

God Bless America!
The Pilgrims’ goal in 1620 was to establish a government based on the Bible. The New England Charter reads, “...to advance the enlargement of Christian religion, to the glory of God Almighty....” The principles of God’s Word guided the decisions on which this nation built its foundation. In 1787 Benjamin Franklin addressed the convention that was about to adjourn in confusion, “I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings that ‘except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.’” Our first president in his inaugural address to Congress stated, “...the propitious smiles of heaven cannot be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which heaven itself has ordained.” Alexis de Tocqueville, the noted French historian of the nineteenth century visited America to find the secret of her greatness. After witnessing the church pulpits of this land “aflame with righteousness” he said, “America is great because America is good; and if America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” I sing, “God Bless America,” as a prayer knowing our nation is far from God, guilty of horrible sins and in desperate need of spiritual awakening! May God bless America with conviction and repentance to turn from sin to Himself. May God bless America with wisdom to vote for godly leaders who will stand up for righteousness. May God bless America, as Abraham Lincoln said, “...to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.”

Rev. Philip DeRea, MSC
MARCH 26, 1942 – JUNE 21, 2017 The Rev. Philip DeRea, MSC died on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 in Manor Care Nursing Home, Bethlehem. Born on March 26, 1942 in Roseto, he was a son of the late Philip and Irene (Bajan) DeRea, Jr. and was raised in Nazareth. He attended Holy Family Elementary School in Nazareth, graduating in 1956. In the fall of that year, he entered Sacred Heart Mission Seminary in Geneva, Illinois, where he completed four years of high school and one year of college.

Then he served as Director of Development, Director of Communications, Mission Representative, and as a member of the Missionary Co-op Preaching Band until 1976. He was Vocation Director for the MSC’s from 1976-79. Because of his childhood and lifelong friendship wit Mario Andretti, he started a lifelong as-

How Women in Leadership Roles can Change the Workplace
Submitted by CATHY HAYES
As women have taken on greater leadership roles in the business world, it’s paid off for both them and business. A study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics found that firms with women in the C-suite were more profitable. Meanwhile, the number of women-owned businesses grew 45 percent from 2007 to 2016 compared to just a 9 percent growth in the number of businesses overall. But will all those women in leadership roles change the workplace culture to make it more female friendly – and does it matter? “As a corporate anthropologist, I’m aware of the recent shift
June 29-July 5, 2017 13
in thinking surrounding how cultures should be restructured in order for women to thrive in the workplace,” says Andi Simon, author of On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights (www.simonassociates.net). “This has caused me to ask: What type of culture do women really want and is it that different from what men want, too?” The results of her research were surprising, she says. It turns out, in many ways men and women want similar things in the workplace. Both prefer a strong clan culture that emphasizes collaboration, teamwork and a focus on people. So what lessons does that hold for women who start their own businesses or are hired or promoted into leadership positions in existing businesses? Based on her personal experiences, and what she’s learned from female business leaders she has interviewed, Simon says some of the ways women can succeed when leading an organization and make the workplace more attentive to the needs of both men and women include: • Create a culture that blends work and home. Simon talked with the founder of one company that intentionally took a wholelife approach and didn’t force employees to choose between work and family. “That company won all sorts of local awards for being one of the best places to work in the area,” Simon says. • Encourage staff to be innovators. Often even the employees who think outside the box are reluctant to act outside the box for fear of repercussions if things don’t work out quite the way they hoped. But for innovation to happen, Simon says, a good leader needs to empower employees to try new ideas. • Be an adventurer, stay curious. If you expect your employees to try new ideas, you need to be willing to do so as well. Don’t worry about failing, Simon says. “Keep tinkering and trying stuff and sooner or later you’ll hit upon your a-ha moment,” Simon says. In her research, Simons says she’s finding that the women who know how to create success are not just building better businesses; they are changing the way people work. “The corporate cultures in women-run businesses reflect the personal beliefs and values of the women leading them,” Simon says. “And those businesses tend to be highly successful.”
