Eleventh year of Paw Prints on The Canal sets tails wagging

Looking by Back Ed Pany Cradle of History

Today, I am visiting the new Bath Museum in the borough’s municipal building. In the past I have written a number of columns on the borough’s history and heritage.

Over the years Margie Rehrig, Diane Lager, Evelyn Hartzell, Agnes Melinsky, Carol Bear-Heckman and Blaine Hoffmeister have shared their memories with me.

Bath is a small, pleasant borough with a population of 2600. I have referred to Bath as a “Cradle of History.” Their history can be traced back to 1737, 39 years before the Declaration of Independence and before the formation of Northampton County.

The early settlers were ScotchIrish who came to America for the same reasons as immigrants

of the present day. Freedom, opportunity, the dream of a new life remain the magnet drawing immigrants to this great country.

Some of the first settlers came from the Craig Settlement, which is now part of East Allen Township. The settlement there was in 1727. It is difficult to comprehend the struggles of these colonists. They faced Indian troubles, clearing the land to farm the fertile soil, feed and house their families and face harsh winters.

Through perseverance and hard work, they eventually made their new country home.

Later businesses were formed, schools and churches were built and a government was organized. They were members of the Presbyterian Church; their first church was probably the first house of worship in Northampton County.

In 1737 Bath was a village, Continued on page 5

By KERI LINDENMUTH On Sunday, June 2, Paw Prints on the Canal returned to Northampton’s Canal Street Park for the eleventh year in a row.

The annual event has become one that is looked forward to by area residents and their four-legged friends alike.

Between 2,000 and 3,000 visitors were expected. They browsed the more than 120 vendors, watched the rescue pet parade, and supported Northampton Police Department’s K9 unit through raffles and food sales.

Most of the vendors present were rescue societies and animal shelters who taught visitors about the importance of saving, not shopping. Organizations included the Blind Dog Rescue Alliance, CharWills German Shepard Rescue, the Delaware Valley Siberian Husky Rescue, the French

Bulldog Rescue Network, Fund-A-Bull Bulldog in Rescue, Harness to Hope Northern Breed Rescue, Hunter’s Sanctuary for Paws, Kindred Spirits Animal Rescue, Linda Ann’s Greyhound Rescue, the MaPaw Husky Rescue, Mid-Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue, Mid-Atlantic Jack Rescue, Outcast Rescue, Pocono Greyhound Adoption, Peyton’s Place Animal Rescue, Pawsitively Purrfect, Save a Yorkie Rescue, Pibbles Paws Safe Haven, and Peaceable Kingdom, among others.

Other vendors included veterinarians, training services, groomers, kennels, and foster organizations. There were plenty of toys, treats, and even costumes for sale, along with important information on pet Continued on page 5

I only paid the bill. Look what happened to the Allentown mayor. When you are in the center of town, drive by the firehouse.

There is rock salt shelter and you can see why there is such a large supply of salt left from this past winter. It was too expensive to put down on the streets and alleys of Bath.

To this day, I have not received any claim for a broken arm or auto repair for a fender bender.

For the 52 years that we have had this swimming pool, this is the first problem I ever had.

There have been many neighbors, friends, relatives, scouts, choir picnics, Mary Fashion picnics and the list goes on for those that learned to swim and enjoy the pool. Glad we could do it for all of them.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

Boredom and Healing You might think that the title of this week’s article lends itself to the possibility that after all these years I may actually be running out of topics to publish. To that end, I actually hope to entertain you immensely.

You see, reflecting on the common denominator(s) of those who live longer, healthier, and happier lives, I have seen some interesting findings across all my observable data. Of course, there is the obligatory consistent exercise, eating well, and getting appropriate rest consensus that most would agree with.

Then there is also a pattern of happily married individuals (of which, at least I am, I dare not speak for my wife of twenty six years...) having better overall odds of well-being. What I have also seen as a possible predicator is how “bored” people are. Does this shock you?

In my younger days, I can recall being really bored in the truest sense of the word during the doldrums of summer. I quickly learned to keep the feeling of being bored to myself as my father would quickly find a patch of weeds to be pulled, vehicle to wash, or room to clean to cure my boredom. However, this isn’t exactly the type of boredom I truly mean. The type of boredom I see as a factor in improving ones health is in obtaining a

state of “mental downtime.” I could use an example perhaps of quiet meditation to obtain “boredom” if I wanted to put a spin on the word. But I won’t.

What I do want to touch upon is that in today’s day and age you rarely see most individuals without some form of continual mental stimulation.

Most of the stimulation is some sort of technological device rather than parachuting from an airplane. Now I am all for high level cognitive function as well as physical exertion however, from my natural perspective, removing one’s self from it all, and simply, “smelling the roses” promotes health and healing.

My concern is that whether it’s on the social media platforms, Internet, music apps, gaming or otherwise, it appears not many “shut it all down” often enough. All the five senses are continually reacting and responding for endless hours.

Even through the night the overstimulation continues with clicks, beeps, and buzzes calling you back to the grid. The stimulation just doesn’t end. This is not good for our health. In fact, we have become so indoctrinated with our cell phone surfing that to not check in every six to eight minutes feels like your missing something.

When was the last time you have seen a younger person idly waiting on something or another without meandering through their phone? Hardly ever, right?

Anybody ever go out for a nice dinner only to all sit and be absorbed with whatever is going on with their phone?

I need to tell you that I need to keep myself in check at times. I intentionally never

www.HomeNewsPA.com

look at my cell phone or computer in the morning. I will not check any texts or emails I have received until well after I have begun my day. I will rise, stretch, make my smoothie, and set my mind straight on what I want to accomplish for the day.

I will also review my appointments and obligations. It is only after this consistent morning ritual that I will then check in on my various devices.

Candidly, I have become so used to high contact with people so during the day that calming down can, in and of itself, take effort and intention. More often than not, I will drive my vehicle in home in silence just to reset my mind. As far as I am concerned, intentional “boredom” needs to be sought after on a regular basis for me.

So when did silence go out of style? When did sitting and listening to birds chirping become annoying? Background sounds should be the rustling of the trees. Sights observed should be clouds rolling by. Want to be healthier? Then pet your dog rather than typing on a computer. Being bored is something we now need to pay for. Think I am off base saying that? Then you may be surprised at the growing success of sensory deprivation tanks that promise an experience where all other “noise” is removed and you are alone with your thoughts.

Call me old fashioned yet I feel that critical and original thought should come from within, not the media, Facebook, or otherwise. If anything, being bored allows us to take stock of our own thoughts-the good and not so good, the real and the imaginary.

It has been said that “No person is truly free who is not master of himself.” To this end, may I advise relaxing your mind and collect your thoughts. Seeking mental boredom is not only advisable it is becoming more of a necessity if you want to perform as the best, most confident, and healthiest version of yourself.

So put down your phone, turn off the TV, mute the radio, go for a stroll, and give this some thought. My best to you.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip This is a sad day in history, the 6th of June – for two reasons. Seventy-five years ago, it was D-Day and the invasion of Normandy Beach in World War II and thousands of our troops died as they were mowed down

by German gunfire. And for us, two men from Allentown chose

the D-Day anniversary to rob a branch of the First National Bank of Bath , killing three employees and wounding two other persons.

Martin Appel was sentenced to death, but under appeal that was changed and he is spending the rest of his life in prison, along with his accomplice. A sad day indeed. Let’s pray that never happens again. . . .At last, the weather is calmed down a bit, with more sunshine, and a little cooler on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Hopefully, Barrall Avenue will be on the docket. . . . Hats off to all the volunteers and employees honored by Northampton County, who give their time and effort.

They must feel sorrow at the lives of 12 municipal workers lost in Virginia Beach who were gunned down last week by a fellow employee. Flags are at half staff.

Parking permits and rental ordinance discussed; old Bath municipal building sold to bidder

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Borough of Bath council meeting on Monday, June 3 was a busy one. Council discussed parking permits, rental inspection ordinances, rezoning requests, and took some time to recognize a Borough employee.

The sale of the old municipal building on 215 E. Main St. was also finalized.

Parking is one of the largest issues facing the borough and its downtown area. Borough Manager Brad Flynn admitted that there have been issues with enforcing two-hour parking.

To provide ample parking in the borough’s downtown and replace the two hour limit, Flynn said that the borough is currently looking at 46 coin-operated parking meters, as well as a possible mobile pay site. Meters are proposed for one side of Chestnut Street, and both sides of East and West Main Street, among other areas.

Residents will be able to buy a permit.

“This town should have had metered parking years ago,” said Councilman Tony Kovalovsky.

“We have to look toward the

Marena Rasmus future, not back,” said Mayor Fiorella Mirabito.

Council President Mark Saginario asked council to review current and past parking studies and come to July’s meeting prepared to discuss options.

The borough’s proposed rental inspection ordinance was also discussed. The proposed ordinance is still in the planning stages and being drafted by a committee.

However, Mayor Mirabito asked council to not delay the ordinance.

“We need this rental inspection ordinance more than we need

anything else,” she said. “We are going to start losing good families [and] it will be worse than ever.”

She cited families moving out of the Old Forge Drive area because of issues with rental properties owned by Grist Mill Development.

“We have a huge issue here,” she said.

Saginario agreed, but cautioned council on rushing the ordinance, having witnessed the mistakes other Northampton County boroughs have made.

Council also heard a rezoning request for 303 W. Main St. The empty lot is currently zoned for manufacturing and industrial use; however, developer Anthony Maula would like to purchase the property and have it rezoned for apartments.

Maula has developed hundreds of units across the area, many of them in East Stroudsburg and the Poconos area.

Maula is proposing three, 24unit apartment buildings on the property. The apartments would be two bedrooms and 1,000 square feet. He said they would be marketed more toward newlyweds, young professionals, and

seniors who are downsizing.

Maula says his company builds the apartments, owns the apartments, and manages them.

Maula is requesting the zoning change because apartments are not permitted in manufacturing districts. He also said that the land’s steep slope makes it impossible for industry or manufacturing companies to build there.

Maula asked council whether they think there would be demand for such apartments. While council said they are not opposed to the project, they would like to hear more. Maula will return before council during their July workshop meeting.

By KERI LINDENMUTH Several residents of the 900 block of Graystone Circle appeared before the Allen Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, May 28. They said that drainage issues in the new development are “out of control.”

The developer, Stone Ridge LLC, received a letter from the

Northampton County Conservation District (NCCD), outlining infiltration issues causing water to occupy the backyards of about twenty homes in the development off Route 329. However, the developer has been unresponsive.

“By inviting students to our community we’re creating space and the opportunity to form valuable intergenerational relationships,” said Susan Cooper Drabic, “The students now have a better understanding of the aging process and the benefit of aging well.”

Lafayette Student Alex Bae worked with resident George Lewis to complete his course “I was surprised to learn how progressive George is, in the way he has embraced technology and I think that is an amazing mindset,” said Bae, “This whole process has been very impactful for me, it has made me reflect on how I live my life and how I want to be remembered.” Resident George Lewis enjoyed the opportunity to get to know Alex during the time they spent together. “While I enjoyed talking to Alex about my life I was very interested in getting to know him,” said Lewis, “Alex and I really hit it off, I learned about his background, his family, his college course, and his plans for the future…I really enjoyed our time together.”

Plans are already underway to repeat the experience next year.

Hear Ralph Rice

We urge you to hear Evangelist Ralph Rice of Good, Better, BEST! Ministries, Lewisville, Texas, in our services on June 9 at 10:45 a.m. and again at 6:00 p.m.

Ralph Rice, whose wife Maryana went to be with the Lord in 2017 after faithfully serving the Lord all her life, was the director of School Services for Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) School of Tomorrow for 25 years. He has been a preacher of the Gospel since 18 years of age and served as pastor, principal, or assistant in five states. He has ministered in over 3000 seminars in all 50 states and 20 nations. Ralph is known worldwide as “Mr. Enthusiasm” because of his passionate and dynamic delivery of Biblical principles and their practical applications to life. His unique way of presenting everyday life challenges has touched the lives of many young people as well as adults.

Ralph Rice and his wife had traveled the nation for years in evangelistic ministry, preaching and teaching the Word of God. They were exceptionally used of the Lord in strengthening marriages and families by applying scripture to real-life problems often including humorous, but powerful, role-plays on marriage and parenting skills.

They were a tremendous blessing to our congregation in previous meetings, and we look forward to Rev. Rice’s ministry with us again.

We invite you to attend these special meetings in which the inspiring ministry of Ralph Rice will bless, impact, and encourage you. Please invite others to come with you, especially the unsaved. God has used Ralph to win many souls to Christ in his meetings.

Grow UR Biz by CAROL RITTER

Five ideas to Give back “Food has the power to change the world," says chef Jose Andres.

It's a credo he lives by, and one that caused him to spring to action in the fall of 2017, when Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico. "It was not a difficult decision for me," recalls Andres. "I saw that there was a major need, and I knew that I could get involved and help. I am a cook, and we cooks are people who don't wait around to be told what to do.

We just act.”

Armed with $10,000 of his own money and a wallet full of credit cards, Andres found a kitchen on the island, purchased supplies and corralled enough volunteers to serve 1,000 meals on his first day there. Later, with the help of private donations and government funding from FEMA, Andres and his not-for-profit World Central Kitchen would scale up to produce 150,000 meals per day from 26 different kitchens across Puerto Rico. His team has since prepared 3.7 million meals. While the need for daily meals in Puerto Rico has diminished, a team from Andres' World Central Kitchen remains on the island to focus on longterm recovery, and Andres recently published a book about his experience, “We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time.” "We saw again and again while we were there," he says, "that a warm plate of food, prepared by and served to the community, can fill people with hope.”

When I read about the World Central Kitchen and chef Jose Andres, I was inspired to share his story with my readers. In a world where so many times bad news is overwhelming, his mission to help others is one we can embrace ourselves even on a small level. I encourage all my clients to get involved in the community.

Carol’s Five Giving Back Ideas 1. If you want to give back, find a cause that inspires you.

2. If you want to give back, find a cause that will utilize your skills.

3. If you want to give back, do your homework to learn about the mission.

4. If you want to give back, start slow and learn as much as you can.

5. If you want to give back, be sincere and do it for the right reasons.

In the case of Hurricane Maria, the emergency led the solution.

Chef Jose saw a problem and literally jumped in to feed the hungry.

He utilized his skills, he inspired others to get involved and, in this case, he created the mission. How about you? If you want to help others, you must act.

Graystone Circle Continued from page 8

Residents said they worry of mosquitos, especially since children will be home for the summer.

“We are living in a swamp,” said Diane Lariar.

Another resident said that ducks and geese have taken to occupying the flooded common areas, while basements are filled with water and mud. Even after dry periods, residents said that water sits in their backyards.

Township Manager Ilene Eckhart said that the township met with zoning officials and engineers. However, since the permit was issued by the NCCD and not the township, there is little the municipality can enforce. The infiltration plans, said Eckhart, were submitted to the NCCD, not Allen.

Supervisor Dale Hassler said that the township is still holding security funds from the developer. He said the funds will not be released until the developer

resolves this issue.

The NCCD also has the power to fine the developer if they do not respond or ignore their warnings. Ignoring the fines can have serious consequences for the developer, especially if new development projects are in the works.

“The bank will not look kindly on him [the developer] walking away,” said Supervisor Larry Oberly.

Supervisors told residents to keep in touch with the NCCD on a regular basis.

“This is where you start,” said Oberly.
