East Allen twsp. has hearing on development by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

New Bath councilwoman Sworn into office by judge by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Northampton County Judge Emil Giordano came to Bath on Monday night to administer the oath of office to Cynthia Anderson. She is the newest member of Bath Borough Council, appointed last month to fill the seat of recently resigned Councilman Robert Fields. Ms. Anderson was also nominated to a full four-year term on Council in the recent primary election. Complaints Heard Under courtesy of the floor, three issues were addressed by Council, the zoning officer and Colonial Regional Police Department’s chief of police. A Creek Rd. woman voiced her concern about the neighbors who were involved in a recent family
fight that included the stabbing of two individuals. She asked why people of that type can rent apartments. While the borough can’t do anything about who rents properties, Chief Roy Seiple said the police will respond when something like this occurs. The proposed rental inspection program was explained by Zoning Officer Dennis Huth, who said that inspections will not begin until next year. “It’s not easy to evict people,” he said, “but something like three strikes you’re out would work.” Attorney James Kratz, filling in for solicitor Blake Marles, said the property owner has a right to rent to anyone he wants. “There is nothing about a background Continued on page 7
A conditional use hearing was held Thursday night at the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting regarding a proposed townhouse development. The hearing was continued from May 13. But after two hours of testimony, the board decided not to make a decision until June 10. Developer Abe Atiyeh is proposing an 88-unit townhouse development, along with a commercial area, on a 29-acre tract of land at Airport & Hanoverville Rds. called Farmhouse Mews. At†orney James Preston went through nine pages of the township engineer’s comments regarding the subdivision, and then followed questions from the supervisors and persons in the audience. Much of the testimony was by David J. Harte, Vice President of business development for Pa. Venture Capital, Inc. He said that the townhouses will be moderately priced, downsized from their original plans in 2009 because of the sagging economy, when they were to be of a luxury type for older adults who now may be empty nesters. Township engineer James Milot said the supervisors don’t want a strip mall, shopping center type of appearance to the homes. Harte said they are lessening the square footage, but not the quality, and the units will have stone frontage. The price range, he said, would be in the upper $200,000. There is also a 20-store commercial part of the development with a courtyard. Former supervisor Judith Ladonis, a realtor, asked how they could guarantee the high quality, with Harte noting that they will apply high standards. Harte

also told another engineer in the meeting that there would be no subs of the continuous circulation in the streets, so that there is adequate access. Supervisor Mark Schwartz said there has to be ground level access of at least 20 feet, front and back, in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of the residents, noting that fire apparatus needs sufficient room to make turns. Schwartz also asked about water/sewer and Harte replied that there is an inter-municipal agreement being worked out between East Allen, Hanover Twsp., and the city of Bethlehem in that regard. The project is on 16.3 acres of East Allen Twsp. land and 13 acres in Hanover Township, Northampton County Supervisor Madelyn Schwartz asked about parking of cars by the families who would live in the townhouses. Harte said they could have one in the garage, one in the driveway, and at another space less than 200 ft. away. That question came up later when Ray Anthony, the township fire marshal, said he had concerns about the number of cars in the development, especially at Christmas and other holidays, and when residents have parties. He said there could be a minimum of 136 cars and even up to 300 . Township Solicitor Joseph Piperato II said the homeowners association that would be formed could regulate parking and the amount of stop signs needed in the private development. Norman Daniel said there should be more space in front of the commercial area. Architectural renderings were provided showing the layout of the townhouses and the commercial area. Continued on page 3

Harte assured the engineer in the audience that the developer will comply with all township ordinances. Due to the number of questions and concerns voiced, the supervisors called an end to the testimony and chairman Roger Unangst said they will make a decision on June 10, whether or not to approve the development as it is now planned. Other matters • Engineer Milot said the ARLE grant application for left turns at the Franks Corner intersection will be made in June. . . .He also said that the maintenance period for Trader Joe’s Inc. is completed and that funds left over could be released. The board approved. • Atty. Piperato had drafted an ordinance for water hook-ups, but Unangst had questioned how it would affect him, since he has lived at the same property and has a farm for the past 35 years, feeling it may be unfair in his case. Piperato proposed excluding additions or accessory uses for agriculture, that seemed to satisfy Unangst. If so, ordinances for water hook-ups and brake re-
tarder use will be advertised for adoption at the June 25 meeting of the supervisors. • Township Manager Deborah Seiple was not present, but had on her agenda the permit modification required by Pa. D.E.P. for Keystone Cement Co. The second item was a request by Arcadia to withdraw the subdivision plan for McCarthy Tire at 7661 Beth-Bath Pike. This was approved. • Parks counselors will be at the June 10 meeting to review the summer program. • It was reported that the Northampton Regional ambulance service has received the EMS Gold Performance Achievement Award for its 2015 mission. • Treasurer Rose Wedde thanked the supervisors for planting a tree at Bicentennial Park in memory of her father, Carl J. Becker, on May 16.

34th All-Star soccer Classic at Whitehall shortened by lightning by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Rain and bolts of lightning cut short the 34th annual All-Star Soccer Classic sponsored by District 14-K’s Charitable Enterprises, Inc. on Sunday, May 31, but the girls game was played at the soccer stadium of the WhitehallCoplay Area School District in Whitehall. This year the games featured graduating high school senior boys and girls from the Colonial League vs. the newly formed Eastern Pennsylvania Conference. The Colonial girls rallied to win 4-2. The boys game got underway, but was called at the 7:40 point due to the lightning. Kourtney Cunningham of Whitehall scored a goal for the
EPC girls on a penalty kick to go up 1-0. Colonial nearly scored several other times as the ball hit the cross bar or defender Becky Webster of Parkland made a number of saves, and the score remained 1-0 as the half ended. But the tide started to turn in the second half, beginning with a goal by Colonial’s Angela Motolese from Northwestern Lehigh in just three minutes. The EPC’s Bria Bittiger from Stroudsburg regained the lead shortly after. Then Bangor’s Melissa Guydish, for the Colonial girls, tied the game at 2-2. Colonial goalkeeper Madison Mennell of Pen Argyl was big on defense and the EPC girls couldn’t break through. But Guydish did, when she was awarded a penalty kick
June 4-10, 2015 3
that went into the net for a 3-2 Colonial lead. Another Northwestern player, Sarah Segan, added an insurance goal with 2:40 left in the game, resulting in the final score. Guydish won the offensive most valuable player honors, while Lexi Gawelko of Northwestern Lehigh was defensive MVP. Cunningham was EPC’s offensive MVP and Erica Bross of Parkland was named the defensive MVP. They will be honored at an awards picnic on Sunday, June 14 at the 26th Street Playground pavilion in Northampton. It starts at 1 p.m. Four scholarships will also be presented. They include: Boys – Brandon Herb of Northern Lehigh High School and Brian Heckman of Whitehall High School. Girls – Kelsy Lysek of Saucon Valley High School and Makenzie O’Brien of Moravian Academy. Players were selected to represent their league and school, Continued on page 16

Eight ideas for Managing your INBOX
How did we live without email? Is your inbox full? Or, when it’s full do you pretty much ignore it and when someone says, “You didn’t respond to my email” you say, “I didn’t get it.” You know how it is, that email becomes such a part of our lives sometimes we overlook that one email that really mattered. More than likely you got it but can’t find it. Years ago a young woman who worked with me called in a panic because she hit the “reply all” button. She had criticized one of the people copied on the email. In the email she complained that the person was hard to work with and she was “blah, blah, blah.” She was so upset about the mistake she said, “I feel sick. I just sent this email out and criticized Beth in it, what should I do?” I told her, “Face the music, you need to call her and apologize.” She called her immediately and learned a very valuable lesson about what you write in email and owning up to your mistakes. Here are eight ideas for managing your FULL INBOX... • Simple is best, answer the questions without a big speech. • When you send an email have a great title in the subject line, people have a better chance of noticing that email. • Don’t forget, you can text or call which might quicken up the task. • Clean it up once a week. • Keep responses courteous, short and to the point.
• Use “fyi” when you don’t need a response. • Keep it to no more than three sentences, save the editorials. • Never write anything in an email that might be considered confidential. Research says the average employee checks email 36 times an hour, which equals about 13 hours per week. (University of California) and that 23% of your workday is spent combing the inbox. Somehow that seems a little overwhelming. If your inbox is full and you can’t seem to keep up with it you can continue to let it overwhelm you or you can begin to take charge today!

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Heat and humidity for days on end, but we had some rain on Sunday and Monday. . . . It’s kinda ironic that signs posted in Moore Township recently all say “Burning Ban in Effect“ and then there were two barn fires, one up along East Beersville Road and another up along Bauer Road. But those were two incidents that happened. We still should abide by what the signs say ‘cause the conditions will be summer dry, even with the thunder storms, after the sun comes out again. . .

check in this case,” he said. “People have rights.” Seiple explained what happened in the recent incident. It was a family birthday party, and most of the 100 people attending came in from New York. An argument developed into pushing and shoving and a person was hit on the head by a beer bottle. “It was one of those things where things went sour,” Seiple said. Council President Mark Saginario said Borough Manager Brad Flynn will check the borough’s ordinances to see if anything can be done. Resident George Gasper, chairman of the Bath Boro Authority, said it’s a grist mill case with H.U.D. (Housing & Urban Development) rentals, where there is not much control. In another issue, Gasper reported about a big camping trailer set on property that he has a right to. Huth said the person who has the trailer has been parking there since 2007. It’s a paper street that the borough doesn’t own. Neither

do Gasper and Frank DalCin, who border the land, known as Pearl St., but they have a right to it after many years. Atty. Kratz said Gasper could file a quiet title action. Another Creek Rd. resident complained of a neighbor’s 200gal. rusted propane gas tank that he fears could explode. Huth said the Pa. Dept. of Labor & Industry enforces the act, which controls such problems. The resident will make a formal complaint in writing to Flynn and action can be taken. Other Matters • Fire Chief Ed Demchak said May was a busy month and the firefighters were called to assist in a brush and barn fire. He added that people should still be careful when burning anything outside, despite the rains of the past few days.

A little Bath History
Submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN • Near the square in Bath, 111-113 W Main, was the Moses George Cigar Factory in 1871. It was one of the largest cigar factories in the country. The present owner found the large, curved cigar sign in the attic and donated it to the Bath Museum. Look for it when you visit the museum. • The square in Bath, is where the stage coaches from Easton, Mauch Chunk and Bethlehem would drop and pick up passengers. One popular driver would do figure-eights in the square with his team as he blew his horn announcing his arrival. • On the south side of the square is the Slate Exchange Hotel built in 1853. The second floor has rooms with fireplaces and walk-out porches. To the north is the Bath Hotel, the first hotel in Bath, built in 1817. • We will close with a anonymous poem written in the 1800s: The snow is sparkling on the fields, The air is crisp and keen; The sun descending in the west, Casts glory o'er the scene. And now's the time for winter sport,
In which we so delight: Hitch up your team and get your girl! We'll go to Bath tonight. The road is smooth, our horses swift, The miles go flying by. We shock the settlers on the route, With "sounds of revelry." At last we reach the little town, Mid cheers and jingling bell; And gather round the blazing fire In the famous Bath Hotel. "Jake" Vogel comes with smiling face And outstretched, welcome hand;
RedWolf-2
And soon the laden tables groan With the best that's in the land. Then, very soon, the floor is cleared; The fiddle's notes loud swell: We "trip the light fantastic toe," At the famous Bath Hotel. But all earth's joys must have an end, And soon the evening's done: We lightly face the homeward way, With jest and pleasant fun. And as the flying years go by, We often love to tell Of all the merry times we've had At the famous Bath Hotel.

Focused on Folks 60+ Caregiving: Caught in the Middle Busy schedules and numerous commitments mean few of us can take on added responsibility. It’s not easy choosing between competing priorities: career, community, family and personal well-being. Overextended and overwhelmed, people serving as family caregivers often lose their sense of self. Members of the “sandwich generation,” adults who are looking after their aging parents and young children, often find themselves so busy taking care of everyone else that they neglect their own needs. They find themselves skipping lunch to check on Mom, leaving work early to take the kids to practice and spending weekends catching up on work. Caregivers regularly struggle with feeling they’re always disappointing someone or missing something important. Knowing that caregiving takes a toll on a person emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually, we share the following insights and ideas: Decide and discern. Not all claims on your time are equally urgent. Because of work/life commitments, some things may have to wait. Learn to distinguish between matters that need immediate attention, such as a medical complication, and those that don’t. To help with scheduling dilemmas,

share your conflicts and ask those involved for their input. People are often more understanding and flexible than we expect. Set expectations. Be realistic. Saying no can be uncomfortable, but the reality is you can’t say yes to everything. Though crises may arise, it is typically unnecessary and unreasonable to be at someone’s beck and call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As part of the expectation-setting process, talk about your availability. Be honest about what’s feasible for you. Define what constitutes an emergency meriting immediate attention. The alternative is feeling manipulated, which frequently leads to resentment, conflict, and feelings of guilt. Listen to yourself. As you mull over your schedule, pay attention to your own words. For example, “should” tends to evoke a sense of guilt. For example, “I should go visit Mom” or “I really should go to Karly’s concert.” Instead, try substituting “need” or “want.” For example, “I need to go visit Mom” or “I really want to go to Karly’s concert.” Then consider the timing. Maybe visiting Mom can wait until tomorrow since Karly’s concert is tonight. Relinquish some responsibility. It’s human nature

to want to be everything to everyone, but remember it’s okay to ask for help. Try to avoid taking on the entire responsibility for your aging parents in addition to your children and career. Instead, acknowledge the dilemma and ask your parents if they have a backup plan. If not, help them develop one. For example, if you’re unable to drive Mom to her doctor appointment, explore alternative modes of transportation (taking a cab, asking a friend or neighbor for a ride). Introduce the idea of accepting assistance. Accepting assistance is often the best way to maintain independence. Talk with your aging parents about limitations they may currently be experiencing (diminished vision or hearing, limited mobility or stamina) and how introducing hired caregivers will allow them to remain in their homes. If denial or resistance to the conversation is a concern, you might point out that not making decisions now may limit future options or even eliminate choice altogether. Take some time to have these critical conversations with your aging loved ones as soon as possible. When expectations are set appropriately and plans are in place, you’ll feel more in control of the situation and your life.

Nazareth pool opening Discussed at meeting
by DAVE SICA The council meeting on May 28 began with comments on the opening of the borough pool. Nazareth pool manager, Diane Mullen, said the opening was very successful. “It was an amazing kickoff,” Mullen said, but she isn’t sure about the numbers. The estimate from Mullen is that 635 people were at the opening. Council Secretary Paul Kokolus said that they make over $2,100 on opening day and said that they may have made about $2,800 the opening week. The swim team has already purchased 30 junior passes and 20 family passes. The council discussed free passes to swim for veterans on July 4, but did not come to a decision. Nazareth Borough Downtown Manager, Stephanie Varone gave an update on downtown businesses. The new coffee shop, Xpresso is now open and has been getting great reviews ac-
cording to Varone. She also mentioned a possible deli, Newburg, in the prior Goodfellas bar. The deli would serve breakfast lunch and dinner. She esitmates that foot traffic in downtown has tripled since the new businesses have opened.
• The first permanent European settlers (7 men, 2 women, 2 boys, all Moravians) arrived on the Nazareth tract on May 30, 1740 to begin building what we now call the Whitefield House.

• In 1955 a dirt track was laid out at the intersection of Bath and Bethlehem Pikes (now 191 and 248) for stock car races, which were held every Wednesday night and Sunday afternoon until 1988. In 1989 the track was bulldozed for a shopping center. • In reaction to fear of attack during the French and Indian War in 1756, all buildings in Nazareth were surrounded by palisades, a fence of logs with pointed tops. • Nazareth used to have its own Acme grocery store. It began on Belvidere Street, moved to S. Main St. where the Borough office and police station is, then to 191 to the old Brown-Daub Ford site (the now-vacant lot across Jandy Blvd. from CVS). • Bridals by Sandra started in 1965 in the little side room on the east side of the Nazareth Inn (now the furniture store on S. Main St.), before moving to East Lawn Rd.
Gaming Revenue Grants Awarded Locally
Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE State Reps. Joe Emrick (R-Mt. Bethel) is pleased to announce a series of grants being awarded to five Northampton County
entities in the 137th Legislative District by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA). “I would like to congratulate these five groups, which earned the grants as part of a highly competitive process,” Emrick said. “Their applications are evaluated on a number of criteria, including economic impact, local financial support and project readiness.” The $132,000 in grants was made available by the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act’s Local Share Account. The revenue is generated solely by the Mount Airy Casino in Mount Pocono, and may be distributed among the five counties adjacent to Monroe County. The five grants recipients are as follows: Bangor Borough - $12,000 for a comprehensive architectural assessment of the former town hall building and Slate Belt Heritage Center. Nazareth Library - $6,665 for the installation of automatic doors. Portland Borough - $110,000 for construction of a restroom facility to be used by individuals on the Liberty Trail and Downtown Portland Trail. Roseto Borough/Columbia Fire Company - $95,000 for purchase of an emergency generator and a self-contained breathing apparatus. Tatamy Borough - $25,000 to purchase vehicle scales for weighing trucks, which will limit the number of overweight commercial vehicles on public highways. Questions about this or any legislative issue should be directed to Emrick’s district office at 570-897-0401 or 610-7465090.

Submitted by SEAN BROWN The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) today announced a joint agreement to streamline customer service and to ease title and registration transactions for residents buying a car out of state. Thanks to an agreement signed on April 16, the new Online Agent/Dealer Program allows Pennsylvania and Maryland car dealers to electronically title and register vehicles in the other state. "The collaborative Online Agent/Dealer Program will be a great opportunity for car dealers to improve customer service," PennDOT Secretary Leslie Richards said. "PennDOT is excited to work with Maryland in order to create more efficient operations between state agencies and increase efficiency for our customers." This new partnership helps PennDOT and MDOT's Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA)
modernize vehicle titling and registration. Before the agreement, Marylanders who purchased a vehicle in Pennsylvania (and vice versa) were required to take all paperwork back to their home state to title and register the vehicle. The agreement alleviates the need for a vehicle owner to return to their home state by permitting Pennsylvania car dealers to electronically title and register vehicles in Maryland and Maryland car dealers to electronically title and register vehicles in Pennsylvania. "This agreement is a great example of Governor Hogan's efforts to improve government efficiency and make life easier for Maryland citizens," said Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn. "Our partnership with Pennsylvania is another example of our ongoing efforts to use technology so our customers can skip the trip to the MVA." Maryland has similar agreements with Virginia and Delaware.
Hahn to host veterans expo Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE State Rep. Marcia Hahn (RBushkill Township) is inviting men and women who serve or have served our country to her second-annual Veterans Expo. The event will be held Thursday, June 11, from 6 until 8 p.m., at the Bushkill Township Volunteer Fire Company, 155 Firehouse Lane, Nazareth. “My staff and I view this as a great way to say thank you to our veterans for all they do and have done for us,” Hahn said. “It’s a chance for them to get together with other veterans, as well as check out the many services and programs that are available to them.”
A wide variety of vendors and service organizations, ranging from career services to veterans benefit providers, will be on hand. Light refreshments will be served. Hahn also wants to remind veterans of her monthly outreach program. “A representative from the Pennsylvania American Legion is available the second Wednesday of every month, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., in my district office, located at 196 West Moorestown Road, Bushkill Township,” added Hahn. “Anyone wishing to schedule an appointment to discuss individual concerns and questions should call the office at 610-746-2100.”

ple think "vacation." The reality is that most adults work yearround, and some seasonal workers may even be busier in the summer than during other seasons. Children of working parents may continue to have schedules just as structured as school—even if it's called "camp"—to accommodate their parents' long hours away from home. Teenagers may have jobs of their own. Still, the traditional mythos persists: summertime is vacation time. Many families plan at least a week or two for some memorable trip or time as a family. For the past few years, with fuel prices escalating and driving up the price of travel, the "staycation" has become popular as well. A staycation involves creating the feel of a vacation without leaving the house, by suspending regular routines and concentrating instead on fun activities. It may even mean taking day trips, but always with home as a base. Vacations can provide some of the happiest memories of a lifetime. Perhaps we remember fondly a cabin by the lake rented each year, visiting grandparents in Florida, or driving cross country in the station wagon with Mom and Dad taking turns at the wheel. We naturally want to provide equally fond memories for our own children. Or, if we missed out on precious vacation memories, we may be all the more determined that our families do not. It can be a source of stress, however, when money is tight or emergencies crop up. Job loss, unexpected medical bills and the like can mean that luxuries like vacations get put on hold. We may worry that our children still will want to do what their friends are doing or what we've previously promised them—after all, they're just children and don't understand financial realities. Or do they? You might be pleasantly surprised how willing your children are to adapt to budget constraints as long as they feel they have choices. A family is a team, and even the smallest members should have some say in family decisions. Most children embrace a challenge, so whatever your budget, why not make vacation planning a family project this year? Here are some guidelines for planning a vacation with the help of your kids: Parents determine the total budget for the project as well as the workable dates. Of course, you might give kids a choice between a set vacation period and a series of shorter trips, depending on your own flexibility. Parents may veto anything that's not safe or feasible. The entire family contributes ideas for destinations. Make a list of all the potential expenses. For example: 1. Transportation 2. Lodging 3. Meals 4. Admissions
able rafts, beach balls, tents, hiking shoes, maps, coolers). Even children in the elementary grades seem to be adept at online research. Let them look for airfares, car rental packages, hotel prices. If they're old enough, they can figure mileages and multiply distances by federal mileage rates to calculate the cost of driving a car. They can compare pricey hotels with cheaper bed-andbreakfasts, smaller motels, or campsites or check out menus for restaurants, and opening hours and prices for attractions.

“Rivers Of Living Water”
Jesus promised: “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly (innermost being) shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). John notes that Jesus was speaking of the baptism of the Holy Spirit which was poured out later at Pentecost (Acts 2). These supernatural“rivers of living water” were given to abundantly satisfy our spiritual thirst and to empower us with the sufficient capability to obey His command to “preach the gospel” to everyone (Mark 16:15). Through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, these “rivers of living water” provide believers with: - Power and boldness to witness, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me…unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8). “They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31). - Divine enablement to live a pure and holy life as credible witnesses of Christ. Jesus commanded us “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father” (Matthew 5:16). These “rivers of living water” provide us with what we need. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance” (Galatians 5:22-25). They are what we need to “be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15). - Supernatural gifts to minister to desperate needs around us. “The manifestation of the Spirit is given…to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge…faith… gifts of healing…working of miracles…” Nine gifts in all! (1 Corinthians 12:710). Oh God, bless us with your Holy Ghost baptism because we desperately need these supernatural “rivers of living water” today! See: www.naog.ws/thirsty.htm

Americans willing to drive Farthest for love and family Submitted by StatePoint Summer travel season is upon us and a new survey reveals just where all those vehicles on the highway may be headed. Americans indicated they are willing to drive the farthest for love and family, with fewer willing to drive long distances for sporting and entertainment events. In particular, 42 percent surveyed indicated they would drive the farthest to see a love interest over any other activity and 25 percent indicated they would do so to attend a wedding, according to the new “How Far Would You Drive?” survey from Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Additionally, 20 percent said they are willing to drive five or more hours to see their child’s sporting event, while only nine
percent are willing to drive that same distance to see their favorite professional football team play. More than one-third also indicated they would drive five or more hours to attend a family reunion and a quarter said they would even do so to meet their in-laws. “We hear anecdotal stories from our customers all the time about what inspires them to embark on road trips, and it’s a thrill to see how we play a role in our customers’ lives,” said Lee Broughton, vice president, Enterprise Rent-A-Car Brand Marketing. “While love and family may spark individuals to drive the farthest, interests such as sports, music and food still earn significant car time.”

Brett Hextall: new Flyers head coach Not as harsh as portrayed
with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. “He’s been around the game forever” Murray, who turns 65 in July, has done things in professional hockey that Hakstol hasn’t – both playing and coaching at the NHL level. Murray was the head coach of the Flyers for three seasons in the 1990’s and even took the team to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1997 before being fired after being swept out of the finals by the Detroit Red Wings. He’s also held head coaching jobs with the Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers and Los Angeles Kings – where Brett’s father Ron was an assistant general manager before he joined Philadelphia as an assistant GM and later became the Flyers’ GM in May of 2014. “You have one conversation

with him and it’s pretty easy to see all the knowledge and experience that he has,” Brett said of Murray. “When you have a guy that has seen as much as he has, his opinion is always going to be valuable because odds are he’s seen a lot of different situations. Let’s face it, experience is really valuable.” As for Brett, who is a pending free agent this summer after completing a one-year American Hockey League contract with the Phantoms this past season, his days relaxing at home with his wife are coming to an end shortly. “I think I’d have a pretty tough time playing anywhere else at this point,” Brett said when asked about a possible return to the Phantoms next season. “Kind of go through the summer process I guess. Take a bit of time off now and get back to work here in a few weeks.”

While Brett Hextall was in Iowa relaxing with his wife during the offseason, his former college hockey coach at the University of North Dakota was hired by his father Ron Hextall, the general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, as the Flyers’ next head coach for the 2015-16 season. “It’s kind of funny just because he’s so unknown to people in the East at this point,” Brett said of his former college coach Dave Hakstol, who was hired as the Flyers’ next head coach earlier last month. “They think he’s a no-name guy, but to the college hockey world he was the number one guy. In the hockey world he’s certainly not unknown.” Hakstol left the University of North Dakota (UND) after 11 years as the team’s head coach. In those 11 seasons, Hakstol took UND to the NCAA tournament all 11 times – including 7 trips to the Frozen Four. He has been portrayed as an abrasive coach that’s hard on his
players and demands a lot, but according to Brett – who played under Hakstol at UND for three years prior to turning pro – he doesn’t come into the locker room trying to be a tough guy. “It’s funny what I’m reading [about Hakstol],” Brett said, adding, “He’s definitely an intense guy, but I think some people in the media are kind of taking that the wrong way.” “He’s definitely intense. He’s demanding, but he’s fair too,” Brett continued. “He’s demanding, but he’s focused. And that’s his personality. He doesn’t try to intimidate his players to get the most out of them, he works with them and that’s why his players respect him so much. You see guys around the league all the great things his former players are saying about him.” Hakstol has coached hockey players at UND that have gone on to do big things at the NHLlevel. Most notably, Jonathan Toews has led the Chicago Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning this spring. Another former play-

er of Hakstol’s, Matt Greene, is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion as a member of the Los Angeles Kings. Brett Hextall himself had plenty of great things to say about his former college coach as well. “His focus kind of rubs off on you,” Brett said of Hakstol. “I always think teams start to take the personality of their coach and I think our teams at North Dakota always did. That’s why they’re so successful – his focus, determination and work ethic kind of rubs off on the rest of the team. He leads by example. He doesn’t just bark orders he sets the example himself.” Who Hakstol’s assistant coaches will be for a guy coming out of the college ranks straight to the NHL – a rare move in the history of the league – the younger Hextall isn’t surprised in the least that his current head coach with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms is at the top of that list. “There probably aren’t many guys in the game with as much experience as he has,” Hextall said of Terry Murray, his coach
