Little Miss Strawberry winner Cement Worker of the Submitted by KARLA BUCKWALTER June 4 was a special day at the Bath Farmers’ Market, as the annual “Lil' Miss/Mister Strawberry” contest was held. For the first time in 15 years, the contest included boys and girls of all ages to participate. There were 12 contestants that came out and registered, all dressed to impress in their “strawberry best.” Some came out with pink and red tutu dresses made out of tulle and chiffon; some came out with strawberry prints, with little wings and red dresses. The little boy that participated came out with a white t-shirt, shorts and sunglasses, while strutting his fashionable presence and his cute demeanor, eating strawberries. It was a close race between him and Danika. Danika had her white onesie and a red, tulle, sparkled, strawberry print tutu and two pigtails with white bows in her hair. They walked the brick sidewalks of the Monocacy Creek Park strutting their contestant number by each vendor’s tent. Vendors made their decision on

Bath Borough receives historical Collage, welcomes new part-time Code Enforcement Officer
By SAVANNAH BROWN The Borough of Bath regular monthly council meeting was held Monday, June 6 to discuss an ordinance amendment, committee reports, and public comments. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito began by welcoming the borough’s
Month: Keith Fogel, Keystone Cement
new Code Enforcement Officer, Michael Kovach, who proudly served as an officer with the Colonial Regional Police Department for 25 years before retiring in March. Mayor Mirabito said, “You’ll see Mike out and about, taking care of our quality-of-life ordi-
nances, any issues with parking, inspections on cars, and all sorts of good things.” The council and residents welcomed Kovach with a warm round of applause, and Mayor Mirabito added that he was an asset to the Colonial ReContinued on page 10
By ED PANY Mr. Keith Fogel was raised in the Nazareth area in a family of ten. He attended Nazareth High School and as a youth worked on a neighbor’s farm while his brothers and sisters worked at the Buza’s Farm Greenhouse. He later worked at Warner Metal and Kramer Textile in Nazareth. He remembered, “I worked on a twisting machine earning $3 an hour.” John Scheneberger, his fatherin-law and Keystone crane operator, told him Keystone needed employees. Keith started his 43year cement odyssey on July 16, 1979. The Keystone Superintendent was Frank Silfies. The next step was working in the pack house. Keith’s supervisor was George Gasper. When the quarry needed extra men, Mr. Fogel responded. Starting as a truck driver, he became a utility man learning every job in the large quarry operation. Utility men operate all the equipment trucks, loaders and crushers. With a smile he said, “I like the job, the environment, being
outside; I work with a bunch of good guys, we work as a team. The experienced crew includes Joseph Duch, Anthony Gregory, Robert Hershman, Garrett Kreglow, Jason Klotz, mechanic, Frank Kumernitsky, James Mills, Mike Seier and supervisor and former U.S. Marine Mike Smith, all solid quarry men.” Keith continued, “The quarry works two shifts, winters are tough with snow and ice. In the past our equipment was used to clear highways and local roads during heavy snow storms.” Safety is a major concern working in a quarry. One old-timer said, “Your first accident could be your last accident.” Because of this, extreme care is taken in the operation. Continued on page 2

Mr. Fogel said, “Each Friday we have a safety meeting to keep us alert on all safety issues.” Keith and his team load 100ton trucks with cement rock every shift, thousands of tons are crushed and moved to the plant by a conveyor system in a safe manner. Mr. Keith Fogel is very friend-
ly. He has moved mountains of stone over the years at Keystone. He is truly a very experienced and dedicated employee. Keith has been married to Sheila Scheneberger for 44 years. They are proud of their daughter Sarah. The Fogels reside in Walnutport. We wish Mr. Fogel and our friends at Keystone a safe and prosperous 2022.

The weeks just keep flying by, we’re already almost halfway through the year! Father’s Day and the first day of summer will be here before we know it. I don’t know why but Father’s Day seems so much later this year, it’s Sunday, June 19…I thought it was nice that the Bath Farmers’ Market opened up their annual strawberry contest to the little misters this year in addition to the misses. Miss Danika Sargent of Bath is this year’s winner, how cute is she? She’ll get to ride in the Halloween parade with the mayor as usual!..Congrats to all the students who recently graduated or who are graduating soon, whether it’s high school, college, or moving up from one grade or school to another, congrats to all the students! Enjoy your summer break. Does anyone else wish they could go back to school, even if just for a week or a month? I certainly miss having summers off…Our thoughts are with the families who have been affected and displaced due to the fire this past Sunday in Upper Nazareth Township. The fire affected three homes. One family was able to go back to their home, the other two families have been displaced from their homes. I was reading that at least one of the homes is a total loss. There has been a GoFundMe set up for one of the families, the website for that is on page 8 of this week’s issue. Thankfully no people or pets were reported as injured. The cause of the fire is still being investigated though…It is now turtle season so be on the lookout for turtles whilst driving and slow down for them! Of course never pick up turtles by the tail. The other day I came across a snapping turtle while walking the D&L Trail. It picked the worst time to cross, it was during the St. Luke’s Annual Charity Bike Event. I hope no bikers were injured and I hope the turtle wasn’t injured Continued on page 9

Our Best Friends Have Hairy Legs 9 Reasons Why Your Dog Needs A Life Jacket Outwardhound.com When it’s time for an adventure, you know your best friend wants to come along for the ride. But dog swimming safety requires special equipment, just like a doggy seat belt in the car. When taking your dog for a day by the lake, make sure they’re safe and sound. So, do dogs need life jackets? Yes! A dog life jacket can ensure you and your furry friend have a worry-free good time by the shore. Whether boating, at the beach, in a kayak at the lake, or hanging by the pool, your dog is likely to show off if they’re a swimmer. In addition to a refreshing splash, it’s a chance for you two to enjoy some quality outdoor time
together. Dog owners can make swimming a safe event every time by packing a dog life vest to ensure dog swimming safety. Not sure if your dog really needs a life jacket? Read on for 10 reasons why it’s a vital flotation tool that’s in you and your pooch’s best interest. 1. Some dogs just aren’t built to swim You may think that all dogs are natural-born swimmers – we’ve all heard of the doggy paddle, right? But the truth is that some dogs — whether large, small, or medium-sized — have trouble staying afloat, so they need a little flotation assistance. Whether or not a certain dog can swim

actually comes down to health problems and how buoyant their bodies are. Breeds like Greyhounds have low body fat, so they aren’t very buoyant, or prone to float. Other breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs have extra large, girthy chests that make them top-heavy in the water. Additionally, extra small dog breeds like Yorkshire Terriers or Shih Tzus often start out as strong swimmers, but get tired easily. 2. Even the best dog swimmers get tired Some breeds of dog are more suited to the water and water sports, like the Portuguese Water Dog with its webbed feet, or the Labrador Retriever, which was bred to be a strong swimmer. But let’s face it, most dogs just don’t know when to take a break. Even the best dog swimmers can tire easily in the water and quickly run into trouble if they aren’t wearing a dog life jacket with supportive belly straps. 3. Accidents happen Accidents and emergencies can happen at any time, and they are especially dangerous when deep water is involved. Whether your pup is kicking it shoreside or has its paws aboard a boat, a reliable life preserver will protect your pup even if the worst happens. 4. There may be unseen hazards in the water Even though it may seem safe for your dog to go swimming, there could be unseen hazards in the water. While swimming pools are relatively safe, lakes may contain underwater debris like branches and foliage that your dog can get caught up in. Plus, swimming against the current in a stream or river can quickly lead to exhaustion. If your dog is swimming in the ocean, strong currents can cause him to be pushed out to sea. In all these situations, a life jacket can keep your dog’s head above water and potentially save their life. 5. Life jackets keep your dog warm Even dogs with thick coats can suffer hypothermia in cold water. According to DVMs Malcolm Weir and Lynn Buzhardt of VCA Hospitals, a dog’s normal body temperature is 101 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 to 39.2 degrees Celsius). If their body temperature falls below 99 degrees Fahrenheit (37.2 degrees Celsius), bodily functions will become impaired and hypothermia can set in. 6. Spot your dog in the water more easily While some dogs are “velcro dogs” who stay by your side at all times, others like to venture out on their own. This means you Continued on page 10

By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Northampton Borough Council meeting on Thursday, June 2, council approved a pay increase for pool staff. This follows a previous rate increase approved in May, which raised the hourly rate for lifeguards from $9.75 to $10. The new rate reflects a 19.22% increase and will cost the borough $9,450. Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst spoke to pool employees personally about the raise. “Everyone seemed pleased,” he said. He added that the borough is still looking for several certified lifeguards, but hopes this pay increase will “entice employees.” “All [municipalities] are struggling,” said Councilman Kenneth Hall, citing nearby townships and boroughs forced to close their pools because of staff shortages. “It is something we have to do.” “[This] will greatly improve the attitude and morale of our workers,” added Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. When asked whether there are enough lifeguards to keep the pool running, Brobst said the borough is prepared to “give it our best shot.” In other news, the police department’s bicycle patrol is now operational throughout the borough. “We anticipate this will provide a good opportunity for oneon-one contact with our police officers,” said Brobst. Several members of the community have reached out to the department to praise this new program. Lopsonzski, Sr. requested that the bike patrol keep an eye on the parks, especially as the weather grows warmer. “This police department is doing a hell of a job,” he added. “Our job here is to give them every tool and program they need to function.” Lopsonzski, Sr. also said that he would like to see an additional police officer hired in the borough, something several other members of council agreed with. This would bring the department’s total to 16 officers. Other items discussed during the June 2 meeting included the Fourth Annual Firefighters Parade. Council approved the parade for Saturday, July 9, in conjunction with Community Days. Council also discussed the new position of assistant to the borough manager. Applications can be found online and will be accepted until Friday, June 10, at 4 p.m. Brobst said several individuals have expressed interest in the
position. Finally, starting in September, council meetings will begin at 7 p.m. Traditionally, meetings begin at 7:30 p.m. The request to move the time came from Councilman Ronald Glassic. He said that a late start time works well in the summer because of busy schedules and extended daylight. However, he wondered whether it
would be more beneficial to start the meetings earlier in the evening once fall starts. Council approved this request. The new start time will be in effect for “several meetings” as part of a trial run. The next borough council meeting will be on Thursday, June 16 at 7:30 p.m.

gional Police Force and is sure he will do a great job as a Code Enforcement Officer in Bath. Next, Blaine Hoffmeister of the Bath Borough Hall and Museum compiled a collage of articles related to South Walnut Street in Bath and presented it to the council. Council thanked Hoffmeister and posed for a photo with his gift and council Vice President Frank Hesch declared that Hoffmeister is a wealth of knowledge regarding the history of the borough. Hoffmeister will be helping out with Old Home Week in August for the History of Bath display presented by the Bath Museum during the dinner on Friday, August 19. Hesch added that the Old Home Week History Night dinner will be held at the American Legion, Post 470. Another resident commented on how wonderful the Public Works Department has been doing with taking care of the parks and pressure washing Monocacy Creek Park. He also brought up a situation from a few months ago in relocating the loading zone in front of Villa Grande Pizzeria Restaurant on West Northampton Street. He thanked the council for previously addressing the situation. The resident stated that the north side curb is painted yellow, which is a noparking zone, and the area across the street where the loading zone got moved to is red, which is a fire zone and is also a no-parking zone. The resident stated that this is confusing and hopes the council could come up with a solution such as signage stating the area is used as a loading zone during a
certain time or painting that part of the curb white to allow for loading. Various residents attended the meeting in support of Mattie’s Strudel Haus and owner Kelly Vlasics addressed the council stating she wants to fix the issue regarding signage with the borough amicably. Vlasics stated she is very upset about the removal of her signage because no one notified her before throwing the signs she had made away. Vlasics stated she put the signage on the telephone pole near her business on West Main Street because she fears her customers will be hit by transport trucks. Vlasics expressed she was unaware she could not put signage on the pole and wished someone would have come to her to discuss the matter because she felt singled out. The council thanked Vlasics for her feedback and comments. In other news, the Bath Borough Fire Report for May cited 21 calls for the months, consisting of five EMS calls and 16 fire calls, totaling 121 total calls this year. During committee reports, Vice President Hesch reported Hanover Township has asked the borough to join the other municipalities in the official membership of Nazareth Area Council of Government (NAZCOG). Council members amended the agenda to add the approval of this item, and the council approved the membership unanimously. Vice President announced that the posters for Old Home Week are available and asked homeowners, business owners and property owners to decorate their properties in red, white, and blue during the weeklong event beginning Sunday, August 14 through Saturday, August 20.

Dr., Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County. The checkpoint resulted in 41 contacts, one DUI arrest and one traffic citation. Motorists are reminded of Pennsylvania’s “Move Over Law,” which requires motorists approaching an emergency response area and are unable to safely merge into a lane further away from the response area to "pass the emergency response area at a speed of no more than 20 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit and reasonable for safely passing." Fines for offending motorists range from $500 for the first offense to $2,000 for
a third and subsequent offense. Troopers will continue to be on increased patrols throughout this summer travel season as part of our continuing effort towards traffic safety and particularly during Independence Day weekend.

might lose track of them while wading in the water. Some dogs have a low profile when they’re swimming, it’s easy to lose sight of your pooch in the water. But not if they’re wearing a colorful life jacket with reflective strips! 7. Life jackets have convenient handles Dog life vests can come equipped with a grab handle on top that makes it much easier to haul your dog to safety. If you’re on a boat and your dog slips overboard, grab the handle and keep him close to the boat until you’re able to lift him to safety. 8. Swimming lessons are easier with a dog life vest A life jacket can boost the confidence of dogs who are new to swimming and help them have more fun in the water. Dog life jackets are great floatation tools for teaching your dog to swim. Dogs often use only their front legs to swim when they are unsure in the water, causing them to tire out easily. Life jackets help keep dogs buoyant on the surface of the water and encourage the use of all four legs when swimming. 9. Peace of mind A day out on the water should be fun for the whole family, but it’s difficult to kick back and relax if you’re worried about your dog’s safety. Having a life jacket on your dog will give you peace of mind that he’ll stay afloat, even if he does get into trouble while swimming.
