Kenneth Hall Sworn in As newest Member of Northampton Council
By KERI LINDENMUTH Kenneth Hall, the Northampton Fire Department’s fire police captain, was sworn in as the newest member of the Northampton Borough Council on Thursday, June 1. Hall is replacing former councilman Robert Coleman and representing the First Ward. As Hall took his seat for the first time, with his family in attendance, he was greeted warmly by Mayor Thomas Reenock and the rest of council. “I have big shoes to fill,” Hall said of replacing Coleman, adding that he is thankful for the opportunity to further serve the borough. “[I am] looking forward to working with you,” Councilman Tony Pristash said to the newly appointed council member. “[You have been] very present at many borough events.” Not only was Hall sworn in as a new council member, but Officer Brent Danenhower was hired as a full-time police officer for the borough and sworn into the force by Mayor Reenock. He too was welcomed by council. “It is an honor to have him as part of the department,” said Councilwoman Judy Kutzler. Now that Officer Danenhower has been employed full-time, the borough must rebuild its civil service list, which is currently empty. Without a list, the borough cannot hire any new police officers or fill other civil service positions. However, while council greeted Continued on page 2
Bath Fire and Social Hall Donates $500 to the Bath Lions
submitted by PAM PASQUARIELLO I would like to thank you all for the generous donation to the Bath Lions Football and Cheer program. The money will be used to provide safe football equipment for the football players and cheerleaders. With everyone’s budgets getting tighter and tighter, it is harder and harder to find people willing to support the kids of Bath. The costs have grown to over $50,000 per year to provide up to date equipment
for these kids. Most people think the program runs itself and pays for itself. This is simply just not true. We try and keep the cost manageable for the children. We are the only youth program for the kids and the people of Bath. We try to develop the kids physically and mentally. We started doing a Tuesday night talk with the parents and kids that wanted to come out. We talked about good role models and lifestyle choices affecting our children in Bath. We try to give
them some faith-based principles to help make informed decisions as they get older. We look at Christian athletes and their life choices. We need to create an environment that keeps our kids off the streets and away from drugs and alcohol. On behalf of the Bath Lion Board and Organization, we say thanks for the much needed support. Sincerely, Randy Roberts President Bath Lions

Northampton Area Public Nazareth property owner Library Programs Approaches council over Parking changes 4 June 8-14, 2017
By JUSTIN SWEITZER A Nazareth Borough property owner approached borough council at their June workshop meeting to inquire why “no parking” signs were removed nearby his property, stating that the removal of such signs inhibit the ability of trucks to make deliveries to his tenants. Jay Viders, the owner of 181 S. Whitfield St., came to council’s June 1 meeting after learning that “no parking” signs across from his building’s loading docks were removed earlier this year. Viders said that years ago he was approached by someone within the borough who suggested that no parking signs should be placed across from the building’s loading docks so trucks can make the swing into the loading docks without damaging any vehicles. “They went ahead and did that, we never had any issues. No dings, no dents,” Viders said. Viders claimed that the ability of his tenants to receive deliveries directly at the loading docks is crucial to the building’s use, and removing the “no parking” signs makes the building “worthless.” “I have three different tenants that get deliveries or pickups every single day,” he said. “I need this loading dock to be operational, in order for my building to not be made worthless.” Viders said he believed the solution should have been to contact him directly, rather than remove the signs remove the signs without his knowledge. “The viability of the building depends on the use of the loading docks,” Viders said. Members of council had a different perspective on the matter. Councilman Frank Maurek said that two borough residents com-
plained that tractor trailers were damaging sidewalks while making deliveries to Viders’ properties, prompting council to remove the signs to try and reduce the damage at the hands of drivers making deliveries. Councilman Carl Fischl said the tenants of 181 S. Whitfield St. “blew off” the nearby residents who asked for the truck drivers to show more caution when making deliveries. “These people, as good neighbors, did try to rectify the problem,” Fischl said. Viders was unconvinced, believing that he should have been notified of the problem, being the owner of the property. “Nobody spoke to me,” he said. Fischl said the proper chain of command was followed, as the residents dealt directly with the tenants and members of borough council, before the issue was addressed by borough police. “The issue was between the neighbors and the tenants. Your tenants should have been responsible enough to let you know their problem,” Fischl said. “We followed the proper channels of command, and we ended up with this decision. I’m sorry your tenants left you out in the cold; I don’t think that’s our problem.” Nazareth Police Commissioner Randall Miller also weighed in on the situation, noting that the police department issued citations in relation to the incident. “We have cited two operators of vehicles,” Miller said. While council seemed unconvinced toward Viders’ case, members agreed to open communication between Fischl, the concerned residents, the tenants and Viders to work toward a solution at 181 S. Whitfield St.

NASD Dental Hygienist Beth Arcury retires
Submitted by DEB COLLINS When a child feels good, and feels good about himself, he will be able to function optimally physically, academically, socially, and emotionally. Holding true to this conviction, Beth Arcury, Northampton School District Dental Hygienist, has devoted more than two decades of her life to promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing risk factors to oral health conditions by integrating dental health into our district curriculum. Beth fully immersed herself into coordinating and implementing a comprehensive dental health program based upon her outstanding expertise in the field of dental health. Throughout the past 20 plus years, Beth has conducted individual and classroom dental health education, nutritional counseling related to dental health, dental screenings, and referrals to outside sources of dental care. She has acted as the liaison between our district and the community at large by seeking out free or reduced cost services for children in need, and even transporting students when necessary. With the help of a
retired dentist, Beth conducted monthly dental clinics providing cleanings, fillings, extractions, and x-rays for a nominal donation. Beth’s dedication to dental health extended into the community as evidenced by her many visits to pre-schools to introduce dental health and hygiene to 3 and 4 year old children thereby reducing their anxiety about their first visit to the dentist. Beth actively participated in health fairs, dressed as “Happy Tooth,” and promoted the career of a dental hygienist by participating in the annual career fair. As Beth retires, she will leave our district with a legacy of her own. “Happy Tooth” “Dentist” “Tooth Lady” “Dental Lady” and “Tooth Fairy.” Beth was all this and more to the thousands of students that she served. Beth has made a substantial difference in the lives of so very many by restoring smiles and self-esteem, thus contributing to the social and emotional well-being of children in our district. Through Beth’s initiatives, our students have brighter smiles and brighter futures.

Seven ways To become A super Connector
I’ve seen it all. Your boss says, “I want you to get out of the office and network.” Or you are the owner of a small business and you want to get more customers. Well, don’t just sit there. And heed the following warning: don’t walk up to people and say, “Hi, I’m Joe, I work at XYZ Bank. Would you open an account with us?” Or “Hi, I’m Kathy, I’m a realtor and looking to list homes in your area, can you give me three names of people you know who are selling homes? I’ll call them and tell them you sent me.” I call this “get in your face networking,” it doesn’t work and many times it is offensive. But before you go, how about we learn a little more about effective networking and becoming a super connector.
1. Networking means you start or continue to build a relationship (trust is the single most needed emotion that can turn a friend or colleague into a someone who will refer you). 2.
Make sure they know what you do - people don’t refer you for many reasons, maybe they don’t like you or maybe they don’t understand what you do - when you are into the relationship and you know they like you, take the time to share what you do.
3. Refer others first - this is the big one. Give first, refer first, and take time to really get to know them well enough to help them first. 4. Just get together - when building the relationship, make
Jacobsburg Environmental Education A-TREAT Center Community Programs, June
Continued from page 4
sure you get together with no sales, no business, nothing but “I want to get to know you better,” find out what makes them tick and what common interests you have.
5. Chemistry matters - be able to identify people you will not be able to refer. If there is no chemistry between you and nothing in common, give it up and spend your time nurturing the relationships that matter.
6. Choose your venue carefully - don’t waste time going to places that don’t attract quality entrepreneurs; generally people like to go to cool venues, with upscale food and beverages and, if there is a speaker, make sure the speaker and the topic are of interest to you.
7. Follow up - this has to be the number one reason where networking falls apart. You can’t find the business cards, you don’t remember what your conversations were and if you wait too long they won’t remember you. We all know “You can’t stay in the corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” This is a quote by the famous Winnie the Pooh. You may want to consider leaving the corner of your office and becoming a super connector today.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Happy 99th birthday to Elisabeth “Betty” M. Gehring this Monday. She was a music teacher in Bath years ago and comes to town once a month to have breakfast with the church group down at the Town & Country Restaurant. A wonderful gal! Her address, 3020 Fellowship Dr., Apt. 3A, Whitehall, PA 18052. Send her a birthday card. . . We had a little bit of sunshine this week, maybe one day, but gray clouds most of the time. It does get kinda depressing. Anyhow it was all right on Saturday afternoon for Northampton High School’s graduation ceremony down at Stabler Arena. Another big class, a lot bigger than when we graduated. I wish them all a bright future. Do your best and you’ll succeed. . . .Don’t know what the emergency was on Monday afternoon in the apartments at the square, but a police car and ambulance were parked there and I heard sirens for another . . . .Ye Ed tells me he saw nine deer in a field behind his house on Sunday. It was sunny that day and they grazed in the pasture until somebody came along and up went their white tails and then a mad dash into nearby woods. . . .If you’d like to
hear some good singing get down to the Lutheran church in town when the Bath Area Community Chorus puts on their annual Flag Day program at 4:00 o’clock this coming Sunday. It’s also a benefit for the Klecknersville Rangers this time. . . . And over in Northampton there are different bands that will be playing almost weekly at different locations. On the 14th it’s the Celtic Adventure at 18th St. & Lincoln Ave. And some good ethnic music on the 21st with the Emil Schanta Polka Band at the Canal Street gazebo at 20th St. Most of the programs are from 6:30 to 8:00 o’clock. . . .Lots of extra activities this year at the Bath Farmers Market. They’re open from 3 to 7 every Friday, and the harvests are great this summer, according to Garry Hunsicker. . . .Phillies finally won a series, but it’s a tough year. TP says we should just be lookin’ forward to football season especially those Nittany Lions. He’s talking up local boy Saquon for the Heisman. We’ll see, I reckon. . . .Back to the diamond and one young fellow from down in the Atlanta area, Ye Ed’s grandson Lucas, was hit in the head by a ball the other day and has a concussion. Pitchers are really throwing fast balls more than ever. We wish him well, and a prayer would help. . . .Bath’s streets are getting more potholes than ever. A little blacktop would help. . . .Gotta go. See ya soon!
Carol A Step Inside the byBearBath Museum Heckman Ebner's Cut-Rate, Ice Cream Parlor, Drug Store One of the larger acquisitions in the Bath Museum is the wooden booth from Ebner’s. Ebner's was a store of many names - Cut-Rate, Ice Cream Parlor, Drug Store to name several. I guess it was a mini WalMart back in the day. It was located on Main Street, where International TV is located today. The booth benches and table were donated by Wil and

Along with the booth is a 1941 photo of the front of the store, a photo of the booth filled with locals (William Rothrock, Evelyn Graver, Kenneth Ebner, Mark Werner, and Harold Bittenbender), and a photo of the soda fountain with Benjamin Rohn, Anthony Klusko, Joseph Frey and Harold Dilcher seated on stools with Charles Ebner standing in rear.

Things We Don’t Need Anymore
Paperweights: When was the last time you used a paperweight to keep your important papers from blowing off your desk? Ink blotters: Does anyone use real ink anymore? We used to dip the pen point in ink and then to dry it quickly, press an ink blotter over the wet ink so it wouldn’t smudge. Fountain pens: They were messy and leaked in our pockets and purses. They also ran out of ink very quickly and you had to refill them often in order to write a letter. Carbon paper: With the copy machine and computer,

ical Society, located just south of Bath, also has their museum open the same date from 1 to 3 p.m.
we certainly do not need carbon paper anymore. It got on your hands and something your clothing. All those carbon pages had to be inserted between the onionskin sheets of paper. Typing erasers: Since the computer, we never have to use erasers anymore.
skate key anymore? Soda jerk: A fellow who mixed up your favorite carbonated drink at the soda fountain, which was usually located in a pharmacy or 10 cent store. Green stamps: Those stamps were precious. Mother saved them and it was my job to paste them into the book. If you filled the book, it was worth $2 in merchandise at a local store. Pants clips: You used to clip your trousers close to your leg so they would not get caught in the tires of your bicycle while riding. Shoe buttoner: An instrument shaped like a hook to assist in buttoning your shoes. Shoes had buttons back in the day.
Duplicating machines:
After cutting a stencil on the typewriter, we had to put the stencil on an inked duplicating machine and crank our copies, one at a time. Bobby pins: I haven’t used bobby pins since 1959. Flash bulbs: Gone the way of the Brownie Camera. No need for these anymore. Slide projector: I gave mine away, I don’t take slides anymore.
Target the Right
Rabbit ears-top of TV:
Our first TV had rabbit ears and soon came the outside TV antenna, which I had to go outside and turn whenever we changed channels. Skate key: With skates attached to the shoe, who needs a

Families and four-legged friends attend Paw Prints on the Canal
Therapy dogs Bentley and Cooper, from Therapy Dogs International, were just two of the many dogs at the Ninth Annual Paw Prints on the Canal.
OUR WORK IS OUR PASSION. WE INVITE YOU TO REAP THE BENEFITS.
HARD AT PLAY
CUSTOM
By KERI LINDENMUTH The Ninth Annual Paw Prints on the Canal in Northampton turned out to be an overwhelming success, despite the day’s clouds and slight drizzle. Families and their four-legged friends of every size came out to Canal Park on Sunday, June 4, to show their support for the Northampton Police Department’s K-9 Force. The free event, which was sponsored by Northampton Borough, featured over 120 vendors, from pet food companies to res-
cue shelters to local artists and crafters, making this year the biggest in the event’s nine-year history. Visitors gathered information on adoption days, pet food, pet safety, and more, while their dogs were pampered with plenty of treats and toys. Proceeds from the event’s food truck, hot dog stand, bake sale, raffle, and vendor sup-
port all benefited Northampton’s K-9 Force, an important division of the police department helping to keep the borough safe. There were a variety of animal shelters and rescue leagues in attendance, including Peaceable Kingdom, Starting Over Animal Rescue, Inc., Paws 2 Freedom, Continued on page 16

Moravian Historical Society holds 39th Annual Arts & Crafts Festival By KERI LINDENMUTH What started as a rainy morning turned into a sunny afternoon for vendors and visitors at the Moravian Historical Society’s 39th Annual Arts & Crafts Festival on Saturday, June 3. Held on the lawn of the historic, 18th century Whitefield House in Nazareth, the annual outdoor craft show featured dozens of artists and other vendors. Handmade jewelry, soaps, blown glass, woodwork, paintings, clothing, scarves, clocks, homemade jellies and jams, pottery, candles, and much more were for sale by the local vendors. While the morning rain and
clouds seemed to keep some vendors and visitors away, the event grew more crowded at lunchtime when the sun finally made an appearance. Visitors browsing the beautiful handmade crafts did not go hungry, with plenty of food stands for them to try. Baked goods and coffee from Stehly’s in Nazareth were for sale, as well as homemade Moravian sugar cake and a variety of sweet crepes. A food truck from Grumpy’s BBQ served hot sandwiches while a Rice N’ Beans tent served some of the Nazareth restaurant’s Latin cuisine. The Whitefield House’s museum was open to the public
for tours, as was the Gray Cottage. Entertainment from a variety of local musicians, including the Nazareth Community Chorus and the Nazareth Area Community Band, performed on the lawn in front of the historic house. From artwork to live music, there was something for every member of the family at the festival, which is one of the largest outdoor craft festivals in the Lehigh Valley. The rain may have kept some of the crowd away, but for those who made it out, the event proved to be a great way to celebrate Nazareth’s history and artists.

While the Food Truck Festival was an attraction in and of itself, it wasn’t a far stroll from Main Street, or from the Moravian Historical Society’s 39th Arts and Crafts festival, which ran simultaneously from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The weekend was viewed favorably by members of Nazareth Borough Council, who praised the festival’s success at their monthly business meeting just two days later on June 5.

Pick Your Pain – Part 1
Life is full of choices. Why do so many people make such bad choices? I believe it is because they have a wrong perspective. Many times we hear people say that if we will serve God, there will be no problems. Is that entirely true? Or you might have heard someone say that there is no pleasure in sin. Is that entirely true? We need God’s perspective. In the choices that we make, we need to look not only at the current benefits and consequences, but we need to look down the road to see what the benefits and consequences will be in the future. Satan advertises fun up front for right now, and Scripture tells us that there is pleasure in sin….for a season. God advertises pain up front. Jesus said, “Take up your cross.” If you choose to follow Christ, you might be mocked or ridiculed. That’s painful. If we only look from that perspective (only what’s advertised up front), we would be inclined to think that Satan’s ways are easier. However, we need to look down the road. Satan advertises fun, but delivers pain. God advertises pain (a cross), and then after the cross there is glory. A person could have much “fun” in sin, but if that person never turned to the Lord in his lifetime, he would suffer the torment of hell--not for a few years--but for all eternity. On the other side, there could be a person who followed Christ and yet suffered much persecution and mockery from others throughout his entire lifetime, but what tremendous joy and glory would await him in Heaven not just for the number of years that he suffered on earth but for all eternity. Perspective! We can’t make decisions based only on what we see. We must make decisions based on what we cannot see. II Corinthians 4:17-18 shows us that perspective. “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” So, it really comes down to the fact that we can pick our pain. --Submitted by Melody Lundmark

Paw Prints on the Canal
Continued from page 9
Pawsitively Purrfect Rescue, and the Blind Dog Rescue Alliance. There were also breedspecific rescue groups and clubs, including Save a Yorkie Rescue, Pocono Greyhound Adoption, the French Bulldog Rescue Network, Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue, and the Lehigh Valley Pitbull Awareness Club. Visitors got a chance to talk to these nonprofits about the importance of adoption and even meet some of the dogs and puppies looking for their forever homes. Vendors also sold treats, toys, costumes, and blankets for the pets, while other craft vendors sold homemade jewelry, soaps, and more for pet parents. There were plenty of presentations to enjoy, including a rescue pet parade, a drug demonstration by Officer Michael Buchanan and his K-9 partner Vito of Northampton’s
K-9 Force, training tips from Passion for Paws Dog Training, and an obstacle course from Dreamweaver Agility Group. The “sharpest” dogs of the day also showed off their talents and costumes and were awarded gift baskets. While most of the vendors and events centered around dogs, “cat people” were not forgotten about. Several vendors featured cat treats and toys.
Three tiny kittens up for adoption from Starting Over Animal Rescue, Inc. also got plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Organizers were extremely pleased with this year’s turnout, as well as the vast community support. And, with plenty of bright smiles and wagging tales to go around, it seems that everyone is already looking forward to next year.
